very excited for the mainnet and the actual in production costs for storing data on the icp. the current price of 3-6 million $ for storing 1 gb of data on ethereum is a little bit to high in my opinion. lets see how many orders of magnitude they can reduce it
Oh don't worry, there are still plenty. It's better now though, most bears have asses.

Office 365? The thing that a whole host of businesses rely upon for email, spreadsheets, presentations?

MS has just as much of an opportunity as Amazon does for spying on its cloud customers through Azure too.

Google is more consumer focused. MS has a good split between consumer, business, and gaming - those combined will rival Google.

So, if 50, you are willing to play Russian-Roulette and pick an M&M from a jar of 100 (or even 200) when, perhaps, 1-4 of them will kill you?

I'd love to imagine (actually watching would be sadistic) a lineup of folks claiming they would, step up to the M&Ms, one after another, be told of the chances, and watch them pluck one, or step away.

Just thinking is not enough, you also have to be attentive. Yet another essential skill is to hear and see what is really there and not what your mind tricks you into seeing.
Not for the first one and the latter, only the middle.
D and C (shift + d/c) also delete to the end of the line (at least in vis and vim.tiny), by the way.
That isn't the original point. The PS4 is not natively backward compatible, the base game needs to be ported.

Native BC would be

1. It runs native hardware (PS2 EE on Early PS3)
2. It runs without updates required (PS2 running inside emulator on later PS3)

This requires actual updates by the dev for individual games to work
If you're so scared about your government that your activity might get you thrown away for life and it doesn't involve murdering someone, then you need better government, not better security because those kinds of governments will just say you murdered someone without any proof and lock you up or kill you anyway if they don't like you.
Well, I guess that's a fair enough reason. Maybe I am a bit biased since I have a Msc in Stat and I had to go through this stuff in more than a handful of lectures.

Just thought I was missing something :)

The 100 Sequences That Shaped Animation
For me, I'll get a PS5 for Demons' Souls alone. When you factor in upcoming games like the new Horizon Zero Dawn next year and the graphics-upgrades like Cyberpunk 2077, its definitely worth it.

Although, realistically, it'll be a few months into next year before I actually get one.
In this case I'm highlighting the "alternate viewpoints" that appear tolerated within these institutions;

from the google link (here is a better link: https://outline.com/wSwEF7 ):

“If you want to increase diversity at Google, fire all the bigoted white men”

“by being a white male you are in a privileged class that is actively harmful to others.”

and github:

“this is not work for white folks to lead”

“some of the biggest barriers to progress are white women”

If these are fake news that should be dismissed or ignored, I'd like to see evidence of that given the power of such corps to be able to push these views. My suspicions is they aren't fake, so much as "not a big deal", in someone's opinion, that I probably don't agree with.

I mean, if diversity (of race) is important for creating unbiased software e.g facial recognition, then a lack of diversity outside "liberal" perspectives should also lead to chilling outcomes (such as the above).
I could not find the most important piece of information - can I even use it? Most of similar apps can only work with few US-based banks which makes them useless in EU. Fion is on .co which means Columbia?

A casual user like you ends up using quite complex compute on the cloud, when you watch a video on youtube, scroll a newsfeed, and make an airline booking. Some of the advanced complexities of those tasks, when programmed well by good engineers, can become feasible with this.
All the Machine Learning related buzzwords exist mainly because they have only now become computationally feasible. You never know what will come next.
Don't get me wrong, I also do appreciate this kind of content.
> Does this mean I can't farm old Dungeons/Raids and Low-Lvl-Areas on my own anymore? This was quite nice to chill from time to time.

Most zones have ranges, e.g. level 1-60. So coming back to that zone at lvl 120, you can easily defeat even the most scaled up monsters. Old dungeons/raids are easily soloable at max level.

The zone scaling has made leveling a much better experience, since you can skip the more this-was-made-15-years-ago content without being stuck without quests/content to do.

I personally really like the pvp scaling as well since it results in a much higher volume of interesting fights. Its also sort of a necessary evil that comes with the zone scaling, since people do zones out of order. E.g., a level 30-60 zone will have level 30s and level 60s questing in it, and pvp with a level gap like that is boring for both parties

"this will limit your solution from many deployments."

I think tech companies (particulalry Google) have conditioned us to expect analytics [1] to be an essential component of all apps and web services. Developers have happily accepted this, rather than questioned it (unless they happen to be the ones being tracked). But actually, analytics may not need to be as detailed (or as intrusive) as many think it needs to be.

Here is a blog post from Whimsical (an online flow chart tool) who decided to remove Google Analytics:

> "We realized that all our tracking stuff had barely marginal value. We were just accumulating data because it might be useful someday. And because everybody else was doing it. Yet 100% of our product decisions over the past year were based on strategy, qualitative feedback and our own needs." (My emphasis)

From: https://whimsical.com/blog/choosing-privacy

[1] Words like 'Analytics', 'Telemetry', 'Web Beacon' etc are examples of the dishonesty of the tech industry in using words to hide their real purpose and soften their impact. All of these words are about tracking online behaviour, but no-one would dare use the clearer, more honest word – tracking – in their app or web copy.

I got covid in March, I’ve had “long covid” since, or post virus fatigue...

It’s certainly a real thing :)

There’s many symptoms, but as most articles state, the main one being extreme fatigue, second one is probably brain fog. Another is breathing issues.

When it gets bad for me, I make extreme noises every so often when I sit down, or when I need to take a big breath of air, etc etc Eating can be exhausting - both because you’re spending energy chewing etc, but also you’re not able to breathe as much...

I agree with you, that since it coincided with lockdown, people out of jobs, not being active etc, then it could sometimes be misdiagnosed, but it’s very different and pretty easily spotted.
No idea if it's replicable, but I found that the only thing that ensured my sleep when I was at the stage you are at was to drink tea brewed on fresh oregano leaves (I have them in my garden), mixed with honey. It's something I'd never done before, but it put me to sleep in minutes and let me actually rest.
Is a promise a realistic way to prevent it?

What about in the event of a sale, merger, takeover, etc?

Is there a proper legal way to make it unusable forever? Even if there is a legal way, if the technological means exist, will it be taken and sold anyway?
Doesn't Defender qualify as satisfying the regulatory burden?

This article seems to be using abstract academic hand waving to say "it's impossible to simplify anything".

But it seems so obviously false. A "hello world" program could fetch every character from a separate database; same output but enormously more complex process.

A small car could have 16 wheels, 2 engines, and be controlled by typing commands on a keypad ("steer left 3 degrees").

Don't tell me these examples are just exposing some complexity that was already there, or that complexity is a conserved constant, etc.

It's amazing what can be made to sound plausible with an erudite wiring style.

I hear this a lot: “it only kills old people” or “it only has a 1.5% death rate.” Many of these statements are followed by the suggestion that we should just let Covid run its course so we can be out of this situation sooner.

We still barely understand Covid. No public health official with an ounce of ethics and concern for their career is going to be in favor of letting a poorly understood virus just rip through entire communities. The death rate is only one part of the equation. As this article points out, scientists are now concerned about the growing number of cases in which severe symptoms stick around or even develop long after infection. When compared to the cold or flu.

We also just recently learned that antibodies only stick around for a few months.

There are reasons that public health officials are being so cautious. It’s not just to be “draconian” for the fun of it.
Privacy policy says something quite a bit different:

> We may use your data to create aggregate or statistical information that does not directly identify a specific person, and we may share that information

So no selling of your personal data, but they hope to sell aggregated data.
Privacy policy also has quite a lot of details about a possible merge / buyout, and non-responsibility in this scenario, so they may hope to amass some data as _freemium_ and then to sell the whole company for a nice profit.
“We will never sell your data” except we may change our mind, have the right to amend our privacy policy anytime we like without notifying you (apparently it’s on us the consumer to periodically review their privacy policy for updates) and would hope to eventually sell our company (and your data) to some other company that will do whatever they want with it.

What could go wrong?
y, just being able to take the plunge and try, innovate and improve is the first step.

I think it also helps if you have a skill for quickly deducing what's wrong when there is an error.

So being able to troubleshoot an error or bug quickly is my favorite coding super power.

Being able to Google a solution or something close to your coding problem/challenge and being able to adapt it and make it your own is a huge plus as well.
I've met plenty of programmers who had no sincere interest, but just saw it as a job they did 9-5 and then never thought about computers outside of those times. Programming was simply seen as a skill that could lead to comfortable, reasonably well paid job, and that was all the incentive they needed to learn the minimal amount needed to get said job. Basically as long you have an incentive to want to learn and a bit of tenacity you almost certainly can.
The FEDs are already here, "cleaning" up the comments. I just saw 1/2 a dozen comments get removed when I tired to reply.

Honestly, fuck you HN. You guys suck.
Many people (prior to Covid) did not have a desk and chair suitable for WFH (I did, but many of my coworkers didn't). Chairs and desks are hardware.

Many couples do not have two spare bedrooms (especially in the Bay Area) to work in. That means potentially renting/buying a larger living space, or converting living space into working space.

N=1, but my lower commuting costs are more than offset by the lack of company-provided lunches, snacks, and coffee.
By the same token, one could say that extra-judicial torture could have "usefulness" as you put it. We could have a similar discussion of how absolutists on the torture question aren't doing a proper cost/benefit analysis and are "providing their opponents an easy strawman for a hollow victory."

I know this is Hacker News, but not every argument requires infinite nuance, we don't need to sit down and examine the pros & cons of torture or any other clear and obvious abuse of government power. We don't need to dignify the position of "read all citizens private correspondence" with a cost/benefit analysis. This practice provides legitimacy to clearly unconscionable actions. It is permissible, even strategically valuable, to have certain positions that we are absolutist on, policies that aren't tolerated under any conditions.
The word "efficiency" looks to be a bit misused here based on what people normally consider when seeing the word, but I can see where the author is coming from. Pumping the ground with herbicides, pesticides and fossil fueled based fertilizers are very efficient methods to produce a lot of food in a short time in small amount of space, but from a system/planet perspective it might not be that very efficient at maintaining the environment long term.

That said, industrial farms that do not use destructive methods for farming are going to be much more effective than what an individual can do in terms of growing their own food. As such, are more optimal strategy in terms of personal efficiency would be to focus on their own strengths like app development, doctoring and so on, and then use the revenue from that to buy exclusively from farms that are long term efficient for the planet. I would claim that growing your own food is a bit of a middle ground.

Aside from using it in the word "cyberpunk", the word cyber has drastically fallen out of use, at least unironically. The only people who I've personally heard using it since the 90's are people who don't really know much about computers.
I get that Elon is controversial and puts a lot of bull out there. And yet, without him, electric cars would still be in their infancy and rockets would not be landing themselves. These technologies do not develop themselves and market niches do not magically get filled. Many things happen in the world because a single wealthy person wants them to happen. My recommendation is not put too much stock in the future promises, but don't diminish the actual accomplishments, which are impressive by themselves. I think there are personal lessons to be gained too, about the power of picking a stretch goal that you know is within your means to achieve, then dedicating yourself to achieving it. Being an egomaniac is no requirement and probably holds him back. We may not be working on the billionaire problem space, but our own goals can be equally lofty.
Good luck inventing something new and better without first understanding what already exists. In my experience it's much more efficient to master what already exists, first, noting down any novel ideas as they come to you, and then move on to implementing those novel ideas.
The virus shouldn't have been labeled 'novel' in the first place. In a 2020 study by La Jolla Institute for Immunology, they found blood samples pre-2018 that demonstrated a T-Cell immune response to Covid-19. It was found that in SARS-CoV-2 and “common cold” coronavirus fragments that were similar (at least 67% genetic similarity) 57% showed cross-reactivity by memory T cells. If the Covid-19 coronavirus is novel, then we should be designating every new strain of the flu as a novel virus.
There are many skills (curiosity, persistence, willingness to improve, etc) but IMO the most essential is being able to deal with your own frustration.
the dungeon finder was maybe OK, but in WoD they added the automatic raid finder too

no need to have a guild

you can do old areas (via the "magic" of scaling down), however as you leveled up through legion and bfa the mobs health and damage scales with your level AND your gear!

so once you level up from 115 to 116 you become noticeably weaker

additionally you lose abilities from the previous expansion as you level up, so the classes feel like something out of a facebook game (awful to play)

so 5-10 years ago they ruined the MMO part of the game, and now they've ruined the RPG part too
Good points. I should have definitely include perf numbers. This shader https://www.shadertoy.com/view/3l23Rh goes from 20-25 fps on my laptop to over 60 when rendering 1/10th of the pixels and up around 57-60 fps when rendering 1/5th of the pixels although I know that's not exactly great benchmarking. I don't think derivatives are a computational problem here (and a few tests seem to confirm it) but the values of the derivatives are definitely ruined in the process.
What I really want is to get the apple-cider-vinegar fans together with the alkaline-diet fans. Maybe we can get them to try both at once, and explode.

> That's a shame but I'm not going to worry all that much about it killing people if it's still safer than a basic car.

This doesn't make sense unless you just like senesless death.

It can be safer than a basic car and not kill people.

Or it can be safer than a basic car and kill people for the sake of marketing.

Since like I said, AP should not leave you feeling rested, full attentiveness is required, more than usual. If you're operating under the assumption you can relax a little with it active like a co-pilot or watcher, you're following for it's most dangerous trap.

-

Also you realize basic cars have been picking up the safety features for a while now right?

The Toyota Corolla, the baseline of basic cars, has had LKA for 3 or 4 years now? And will warn a drowsy driver in case of excessive interventions.

It's sad again, because if anything Tesla is poisoning the well on these features since they're lulling people who don't even have the cars into a false sense of security.

AP marketing makes it seem like it can make a drive more relaxing (with Tesla salespeople using that exact phrasing on a test drive mind you) when the moment it does that, it's making you less safe than if it wouldn't pretend to be capable of that.

Now when other manufacturers intentionally omit continuous lane centering, it seems like an omission of a convenience, not an omission of a dangerously misleading liability to the safety of its users.
Completely agree.

Thanks for sharing. I wish we reserved one post/comment for people only who has/had COVID019 to hear their experiences. I know there are many people in HN with the disease but their words are scattered around, hard to explore.
I get the same thing. I think it's because when you get close enough, you can see spinning even in the periphery, just because it's bigger.
Google hacking or Google in general is very useful
I'm still working in the office, so yes. Even though remote work has been a possibility for IT for a long time, various factors have prevented it from being taken up as the norm. I don't believe those factors have changed in any permanent way.

I would happily take a pay cut to work from home, and I'd even happily take a 50% pay cut to cut my hours by 50%, and I'd like a pony...
Learning what questions to ask into Google is a critical aspect. Most of the time, coding is the process of writing some code, and then debugging it. Knowing to ask, my graphql endpoint is failing with a status of 500, vs. my graphql doesn't work. The first will help you narrow down the issue, the second is far too generic. I have been coding for over 20 years now, and I feel it is rinse and repeat in terms of hitting a roadblock, and finding the answer. Also, a lottttttt of patience. You might take two hours to figure out something that ends up being really trivial, and then you have that moment of feeling good that you solved it, and then you are right back into the next hurdle.
