>Besides, where is the supposed innovation in Europe's tech scene over the last four or five decades? What innovation? Where are the hundreds of amazing, innovative, successful European tech companies that are supposed to stand as a counter to Silicon Valley & Co.? They don't exist

Virtually every industrial machine on this planet has made something in it build in Europe. France builds high speed rail at a third of the cost of the US. Europe has countless of pharmaceutical giants.

Again, I put it simply. The per capita income and productivity in Western Europe is roughly as high, maybe 10% lower than in the US. If Europe had 'no tech', how is Europe rich?

You have a myopic view of technology that excludes the majority of the economy, which is everything outside the world of bits as Thiel puts it, which constitutes 90% of the actual national GDP, including in the US by the way.

'AI' or 'Quantum computing' isn't some sort of economic super weapon. The German economy is 4 trillion dollars large, what is the market for quantum computing, or even 'AI'? By the way we have heard this accusation for decades. In the 70s and 80s we were accused of living in the industrial stone-age, while Britain becomes rich on being a leader in the sector of the future, finance. Where is Britain now? At a national productivity level 30% below France and Germany, turns out in the long-run finance wasn't as hip as people thought, particularly not for anyone living outside of the city of London.

I'll start to get worried about lacking in tech when software is delivering historical economic growth, rather than becoming a tool for social engineering and reshuffling money from the bottom 80% to the top 20%.

That's not to say by the way that there's not genuinely innovative aspects to software, cloud computing actually is something that Europe could catch up on if only for security and geopolitical reasons but the overwhelming majority of software giants in the US contributes nothing to innovation. Facebook and Twitter destroy democracies and heat the planet up with datacenters, nothing more. If there was a word for de-innovation, that's what I'd label those companies.

the point people are trying to make is that if you are at the scale where a kernel bug or an nginx bug is borking your app, it's not the developers job to go poking around the system for a fix. It's the devops/infra people's job. In my world, if you want to investigate an nginx bug... "docker run -it nginx:latest /bin/bash" and go for it... find the issue, reproduce it, then fix it in the pipeline and deploy again. You didn't touch production at all. If your debugging relies on being ON PRODUCTION, you don't suffer from the scale you need to be on there in the first place.
Yeah that "safer street" is still going to get hit at 50 miles an hour by a lot of people.
Considering we can measure Roman metal production by the pollution it left in ice deposits in Greenland, I'd have to say "yes".
Every battery cell itself is a little engineering miracle, that's why its expensive.

This is a kind of nonsense statement. Cathodes can't really be 'cobalt based'. The Cathodes primary part is Nickel. The Cobalt is an additive to stabilize the Nickel.
To your first point, would you argue art is not the field of human interest with beauty as its ideal? Would you argue art strives for ugliness? Art holds ugliness and "badness" as its ideal? I find that to be a very untenable position to hold.

"To produce the beautiful, art must imitate nature. Yet not every imitation of nature, merely because it is an imitation, is therefore beautiful, as realism pretends. The reality imitated by art must also be beautiful, or art must add to it the idea that will give it beauty." Br. Louis de Poissy

"Beauty and goodness in a thing are identical fundamentally; for they are based upon the same thing, namely, the form; and consequently goodness is praised as beauty." Summa Theologica P1 Q5

Guernica imitates reality as it is a depiction of a war crime. However, just because it is a depiction of reality, it does not mean that it is beautiful. Further, it does not depict the beautiful nor give it an idea that makes it beautiful. As you say, the grotesqueness, horror, and chaos depicted was intentional. You yourself say it is ugly, and I agree. Following Aquinas's thoughts above, if beauty and goodness is fundamentally identical, then it follows that the antithesis of beauty and goodness is also identical. Therefore, since this work of art is the antithesis of beauty (ugliness, as you yourself say), it is also bad art, not to mention that the bad is not praised as the beautiful. I hope this answers your question.
Either version. And, FWIW, a standard library that is well-designed and polished can be spartan; Swift's has been on the operating system interface side because Foundation exists.
Sweden manage to create quite a lot while keeping above average European worker protections. We say that having lots of protections makes people more willing to take risk since worst case they will have to live on state aid for a while. Likely Daniel Ek want to make the other European countries as good at creating successful companies as Sweden is.
No mention of the variation in sweat glands. People with more apocrine glands unavoidably have more body odor when they don't wash.

(It's easy to tell; dry ear wax means less apocrine glands, wet ear wax means more)
That definition is very—let’s say—unique. In my 7+ years of marketing I have never met anyone or read anything that put advertising outside of marketing. It’s even in the academic “4P” definition of marketing (“Promotion”).
Yes, Microsoft is out to extinguish desktop Linux. They're afraid that 2021 could be the year of desktop Linux.

Wait, wasn't that 1999? 2000? 2001? ... Everyone stopped caring when mobile platforms became dominant.
I'm just taking the article's main point at face value. Certificates help with enabling access quickly (fast onboarding) but revocation needs every server to be informed about the change, since OpenSSH doesn't do OCSP.

If a single file change is untenable at scale or volume, how does your organization manage version deployments, or even something small like an emergency reconfiguration, without collapsing or having to cope until "patch tuesday"? What you describe sounds untenable to me.
Interestingly the shuttle includes a RISCV core as a "harness" that you cannot modify or remove.
On the other hand, 54% of rural people live within a metro area. TBH this cuts both ways. I've dug deep into this data using satellite imagery. From a "qualitative" stand-point, most Americans live in what midwesterners would call cities or suburbs.

A Smart Car or Yaris or whatever will do just fine for commuting from rural Floyd County into Atlanta. Been there, done that. It. Is. Fine.

Conversely, a fully-size sedan is the minimal useful car if you want to go the ~10 blocks or whatever from Michigan Ave to the beach in mid January. Again, been there and done that. It. Is. Not! Fine.

This is less of a urban/rural thing and more of a weather/climate thing.
Maybe in your state it's that easy. Not in this one.
I don't fully know if this is the best way to approximate the original posit, which is basically people in the US have to drive super far. However, even in your approximation that is slightly over 92 Million people. Leaving aside the rest of the population that may have to travel in between urban areas and have no rail or reasonable public transit to supplement a car in most situations.
Back in 200 B.C. we had something called the "Euclid-Archimedes Thesis" (okay it wasn't literally called this) which stated that every measurable curve was either a line or a circle. The idea that there was a way to measure the length of any irregular curve was simply impossible. And this thesis went unchallenged for an amazing 1,800 years until the 17th century when several mathematicians constructed measures for various irregular curves.

Be very skeptical about "theses" that are handwavy about a frontier subject (pure, abstract geometry was just as much of a frontier subject as abstract machines) suspiciously lacking any proof.
Make an exception?
The thing is with smell is, it's basically a highly complex, involved diff tool. If you're surrounded by the same smells constantly, you won't pick up the smells. The body odour you express becomes the status quo.

For me to be able to smell my own body odour, they'd have to be a point in time where I didn't have body odour. And if my BO is so wretched I don't need to put my nose into my arm pit to smell it (I challenge anyone to disagree with me that they don't do an arm pit sniff test to gauge their cleanliness) well, throw me into a fucking lake.

Of course, some people may have more delicate smells than most. Or not at all. I don't know where I sit. But I've got a 100% success rate in never being told 'my dude, you smell like an over ripe peach', so I think I'm doing OK. Or my friends are part of a dasteredly ruse to forever keep me single.
Should be noted that they stopped working on DLC to focus on what will probably be a sequel.

I agree that the transition to RISC-V (if it's going to happen) will take time, I do not agree that it will take even longer for the B extension. That's why I disagree with him.

Ask HN: Should Google remove medium.com from search results?
Medium articles have a very high priority on Google search results. But almost all articles from medium.com are showing an "upgrade" button and if you do not buy their membership you can not continue reading.
I have 0 followers, there's no risk of that xD
My reasoning is that maybe it's some kind of hellban or limited functionality for low quality accounts.
What I find ironic is that this is the exact logic Facebook made for not taking down posts from politicians (the political speech exemption) and then most people didn’t find that very compelling.

Perhaps the content should just be hidden and hard to access to reduce vitality but still allow people to view if they want? That wouldn’t satisfy everyone either though.
I'd say the moon would be an obvious candidate to look at, though no guarantees.
This is fascinating and I would like to read more about it.
When coffee makers are demanding a ransom, you know IoT is screwed
Sure, but you're just one guy. I'm just telling that dude there's no point building for one guy. And you have this requirement on the data thing. The next guy is going to be like "Oh yeah, I do the same, but I give in Bitcoin" and the next guy is like "I only do it if the owner has a moustache on one side of his lip". There's no replicability. Like, I actually thought Patreon was pretty solid but it turns out they're not in a good place at all. Revenue is really low and growth isn't even that great.

Patreon never allowed porn but I wonder if there'll be a substitution effect with OnlyFans etc. We'll see. I just don't think catering to people like you is a good business. I'd stay out of it, honestly.
I hope they do better than XQuartz (X11 on mac). It looks like they're doing well!

Running X11 apps on macOS always felt like an afterthought of an afterthought. It is slow and doesn't integrate with the system at all. I know it's possible to do much better, and I wish it were so.

Personally, I'd like to be using more GUI apps in Docker across platforms, but it's just ... gross right now.

I believe their rough slogan being pushed at the time was "Car accident? Don't wait, call eight!" at the time.

Our babysitter was mortified, haha.
No, you're absolutely right.
It more convincing to look at it the other way.

It's not what such civilizations would have left, but what they would have taken.

Our early civilizations found easily accessible deposits or tin, copper, gold, etc that would have been depleted if another advanced civilization had existed in the past 10 million years or so.

> The IRS needs to prioritize its resources by going after the big fish, not obsess over kids waiting tables

If the IRS doesn't go after any kids waiting tables, no kids waiting tables will bother paying tax. And that's, in aggregate, a lot of money.

This is a similar fallacy to the idea that cops should not investigate minor crimes - say, burglaries - until it's solved all murder. If they actually do that, burglaries will effectively be legalized, and anarchy ensues.

The bigger mental trap here is I guess a failure to consider second order effects.

i think for integer operations, there are no status flags, but for floating point you can check the fcsr register for exceptions [0]

[0] https://github.com/riscv/riscv-isa-manual/releases/download/...

EXCERPT
Overflow checking for unsigned addition requires only a single additional branch instruction after the addition: add t0, t1, t2; bltu t0, t1, overflow.
For signed addition, if one operand’s sign is known, overflow checking requires only a single branch after the addition: addi t0, t1, +imm; blt t0, t1, overflow. This covers the common case of addition with an immediate operand.

FLOATING POINT
As allowed by the standard, we do not support traps on floating-point exceptions in the base ISA, but instead require explicit checks of the flags in software. We considered adding branches controlled directly by the contents of the floating-point accrued exception flags, but ultimately chose to omit these instructions to keep the ISA simple.
tl;dr: AMD - if a particular GPU is supported by your kernel and Mesa versions, it works flawlessly, NVIDIA - way more ifs and randomness.

AMD: check in which kernel version AMD added the support for your GPU, and which Mesa version has feature parity (most of the time it's already there because there weren't any big shifts since Vega, RDNA2 might be that one) and you're good to go on any distro.

NVIDIA: Wayland support isn't there for years and foreseeable future, random issues with driver updates. Supports only 3 distros (Red Hat family, SUSE and Ubuntu without derivatives, I even made a page for devs how to add Debian flavour of it on any deb distro since Mint users were constantly struggling), Debian makes it's own decoupling of blob which works flawlessly but new version might not be there for a month because maintainers aren't there. I still remember that full support for Pascal has landed 6 months after the release.
In terms of being risk adverse, I can remember talking to a fellow student from France (yes, it’s an anecdote). We were both taking a class on private equity.

He described French risk aversion as such “In Europe, if you took investor money and your idea failed, you would be seen as a failure. It’s amazing that in the US you could raise $1M, lose it all and then go out and raise money again for another idea.”
There has to be a limit to cynicism, at least on a discussion forum like this

Twitter partially addresses this issue by letting you flag an account as NSFW. If you're going to post war crimes or nudes, great, I don't have to see your content even if it's retweeted - I can shut off NSFW content
True. It's unfortunate that most people don't seem to realize this, based on WSL1. MS really haven't marketed WSL2 that well.
Since we already know you can put a more or less adequate elasticsearch cluster on DO for $60 per month, I don’t think that argument holds a lot of water.

By the time you want centralized logs, you are probably already spending much more than the logging will cost on infrastructure.
I think you're right, if you take the extreme events that have happened on this planet - and arguably the ice ages themselves also belong there, human activities haven't yet produced anything of that magnitude.

The question is how many more years do you want to give it until we do. These are huge slow systems we are looking at, at the point there is clear evidence around us that disaster is on the horizon, it is already several decades too late to do anything about it.
In sales you listen about your customer and solve their problems. It may or may not be with your product. But hopefully your product solves their needs.
It wouldn't be hard for the feeds of these items to be fed to the appropriate governmental and non-governmental agencies, gated by some reasonable process.
Longer term loans are also more common now. 5 years was typical but now 7 years is becoming even more common.
A conversation involves both listening and talking. Good sales people know that they have to "diagnose before they can prescribe" which means they must elicit symptoms and confirm need and fit with product capabilities. Really good sales people recommend other products when theirs is not a good fit. As the deal size goes up you do much more listening than talking.

Many firms that don't advertise--or do very little advertising--and are still able to generate leads, that's why it's normally included in marketing as one of many channels.

Effective marketing people also talk and listen to customers.
The implementation of Glimmer is really interesting, but feels like over-engineering after seeing what a compiler like Svelte can do. Here is what it would look like:

<script>
let maxLength = 10;
let name = "", remaining, showError;
$: showError = remaining < 0;
$: remaining = maxLength - name.length;
</script>

<div>
<input bind:value={name} />
<p class:showError>{remaining}</p>
</div>

And the gist of the runtime produced is this:

if (dirty & 1 && input.value !== ctx[0]) set_input_value(input, ctx[0]);

if (dirty & 2) set_data(t1, ctx[1]);

if (dirty & 4) toggle_class(p, "showError", ctx[2]);

wired up directly to the input event which computes the dirty flags. No VM in the middle. It is quite literally impossible to get more efficient than that. Are there still any advantages to this approach?
Pro-tip: HN does not recognize ordered lists. You need two line breaks between list items, just as with regular paragraphs.
> While it can be used to describe the reality we experience about our universe, it can also create imagined universes that have only the most tenuous grasp (if any). Like any language it supports fiction and non-fiction applications.

Maybe I am wading into well-charted waters and thinking of something others have already hashed out, but if our universe only applies a subset of math, could that also mean there is another universe where a different subset of math is applicable? And the multiverse in sum encompasses all math?

Platonism would then be true at the most global scope, but empiricism is necessary to discover what part of math our particular universe encompasses.
Must be what you are searching and reading about as I have not seen an upgrade button for a while.

Maybe you have something(like malware) in your browser causing this.

Anyways this is off topic but there are work arounds for the site you mentioned and I believe you can even google how to do it ;)
I don't know why the parent felt the need for this rant. The article itself is kind of pointless as those cars are not really comparable, might as well throw scooters in there.

If we seriously want to argue GM/Tesla. The 3M ice vehicles are pretty irrelevant, all cars will have to go electric and that is the market that matters. And selling a tiny car in China is not gone be what makes GM the big money they need to be 'General Motors'. In fact I would argue all infrastructure related to ICE will be negative value in a few years, and that includes outstanding leases on ICE cars. That will be a huge issue for GM and Ford.

At least each country get to choose what's on their coins
Sure, but that's not it. I can pay a hundred bucks and start in California but that's not the end of it. I'd have to pay franchise tax till the end of time, I have to pay SF tax on that, then I have to pay Prop C. If I were in LA, I'd have to pay city tax and county tax. Just keeping all the taxes straight would cause me to kill myself before I start in California. Everyone knows you incorporate in Delaware.

It's like that. I don't know what sort of laws you guys have there but just the paperwork is going to kill me, probably. And then any time you want to do anything, the paperwork will kill you, the regulators will be on your case, and all that. And that's the way Europeans like it. It's culturally normal there to be like "Oh, well why do you think you should be allowed to do that".

For instance, they would say "Maybe it isn't right that a company can just target ads to people without a comprehensive affirmative opt-in" and that would be the dominant view. "Maybe some guy in a garage shouldn't be allowed to hold a million people's personal data". There's a trade-off there: you don't get tracked but you don't get Google. And that's fair, but it means no business models that rely on things like that which count on low transaction costs can't happen, and lots of unicorns count on that.
Dude, I'm long Tesla as well but there is no point to this creed. The headline is just attention grabbing. Nobody believes a 5k car in China is gone help GM win over Tesla in the EV space.
although removing nags/advertising is a business model
In aggregate it isn't a lot of money. The top 25% pay 86% of all income tax. The bottom 50% pay 3% of all income taxes.

Innumeracy among even educated people is why our policies are the mess they are.
Dual boot takes way too much time. WSL2 literally fires up instantly and then you have an actual Linux VM running actual Ubuntu or whatever. Just no GUI. You can then use Visual Studio Code (the Windows app) to develop for Linux or Windows. If you do Linux GUI work it's obviously not ideal.
How old is your globe [pdf]
I am no IP lawyer either but I would think creating tabs is kind of a unique scenario. Think about it - you’re creating material that simply describes someone else’s material. If for example I write out a tab for a simple pop song with a 4- chord sequence and perhaps an extra chord or two in the chorus, and it’s pretty obvious what the chords are, well then, THOSE are indeed the chords; If I simply write down those chords as tablature or chord charts, I can’t imagine how someone can “own” that as IP since it simply describes something that already exists. This would be the sane as someone listening to a speech and transcribing it, then claiming they own the transcription as IP because they were (presumably) the first person to do so. I do understand that people create arrangements of others’ work which might be considered derivative work, but tablature can hardly be considered to be an arrangement.
Is this some kind of ad for Cooler Master?

Or is the revelation here that non-stock coolers generally perform better?
Not quite what I'm saying. Beauty and goodness (being fundamentally identical) are attributes of objective reality. Subjectivity is the confusion of our limitations for the eternal truths of the universe. I hope this makes my position more clear.
