Germany’s balancing act: Fighting online hate while protecting free speech
I have had the same exact analogy of of God -> Humans -> Ants in my head for so long, that I can no longer remember if it was my own thoughts, or something I've read.
I was literally taken aback when I read this comment.
Did you read it somewhere?
I think we would be better off, if we follow the pharmacy world. Like they have full controls over a new vaccine for x years and then it becomes generic! Problem is that technology space moves so fast that if x year term is say 5-10 years , that would nullify entire process!
> So CPU internal states or protection are in theory irrelevant.

Go look up what IOMMU means. We're not talking about a feature inside an individual CPU core, but in the PCIe Root Complex that implements DMA capabilities in the first place; it's the thing that sits between peripheral devices and the DRAM controller. That functionality is on the CPU die these days.
Then imagine the outrage from European companies and users getting hit by this ludicrous US copyright thing that doesn't apply to them (the European court rejected oracle claims long ago).
This was going to happen, the question was whether or not it would happen while the device was still popular.

IMO you're better off just using an encrypted filesystem and typing in a passphrase on boot than dealing with hardware this locked down.
> Conventional thinking is (or was? I don’t follow this closely) that hard shots into the side netting either low to the ground or high up are unstoppable. The goalkeeper cannot reach the high corners, and will not fall fast enough to catch low shots, if the shot is fast enough.

It still is.

When I said that I have an unpopular opinion, it was just referring to the skipping technique.
The US Constitution explicitly cites utilitarian goals in the Copyright Clause.
We actually allow team talk time every day. The IT meeting is supposed to be about discussing what we've done and what we'll do, sorta scrum-style, but management knows and allows it to run as long as we like while we socialize. This was even the case before we went fully remote for Covid. I believe the CSRs do the same, but I haven't been to their meetings.

They tried a scheduled after-hours happy our with the whole company, but people showed up for a few weeks and then it died off.

We have Discord and have a few channels including #general and #random. We haven't found the need to get more specific since there's only a few of us. It might be nice to have those specific ones shared with the entire company instead of just the team, though. I think I'll suggest that.

The photography one in particular caught my attention because a few people on the team wanted to do a flat-lay photo contest with a prize, but CS just wasn't into it. We're still considering doing it unofficially.

Thanks for the info!

"Qualified" by whom? By universities? Fortunately, in SE the code talks loud and clear, and discriminatory rent seekers need to invoke the violence monopoly to get their way.
It actually relates to many things, but mostly it's because all the matters is getting credit for an idea. Realize that the process is basically to create something and then write about it to advance knowledge, thus sharing it with all. What's left at the end of that process is to recognize those who have done a lot of positive sharing. Those who are so recognized get the best jobs, the most funding, the best students, etc. As such, if an idea slips out of your lab and into some other lab, you might not get credit, and hence, all the craziness. It's one of those cases where it's not a great system, but it's also hard to figure out a better one.
CBD causes the same problems with drugs as grapefruit.
That's exactly how Copyright works, which is to be expected because Copyrights and Patents are governed by the same overarching law.
Certainly well-deserved; CRISPR is a transformational invention.
> I can't find any solid information on the quantitative light output of the AN/TVS-3, but xenon arc lamps typically produce 30 lumens per watt

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficacy

What I'm not sure of is if the lumins/watt rating is given for the light output or the power input.

The input power rating is 450 Amps * 200 Volts * 1.732 = 155880 electrical watts. That's nearly 7.75 times as much electrical power as light output. That makes sense since the peak efficiency is about 7.3 for a xenon arc lamp.

Those that absorb effort, resources and risk in creating something new/innovative should at least have the opportunity be compensated for their investment. The balance needs to be fair, and that’s what is being argued. It’s simply not as black and white as how you have described this issue.
Wine's userspace being legal is probably what keeps the gamers from just running the available userspace source code from Microsoft. I doubt getting it banned would be something Microsoft actually wants.
What's missing for reseting all / most of the DNA from an organ/a whole body in mammals??
Just reseting the DNA repair section of the DNA of a whole organ would enable massively slowing the ageing/cancer risks of said organ/body!

It is the key towards rejuvenation and preventing cancer, heizeimer and most diseases!
I can't find a good resource on why this is not currently possible and where can I track scientific incremental progress towards making this breakthrough a reality, which would then become the biggest technological progress of the 21 century!

And in French grapefruit is pamplemousse, and pomelo traditionnally refer to the pink grapefruit, which is actually a slight variant. Actual pomelos always come from China, they have a very thick rind (2 cm or more) and have a taste and texture of their own (they're very dry) which is quite pleasant.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomelo

They probably called it "posturing" because it is entirely synthetic. No one really cares about the game last night or whatever other nonsense there is. It is all just hollow talk to fill what might be considered "awkward silence" by some.

I'm willing to bet some high percentage of "watercooler" friends wouldn't go out of their way to help you if you were stranded on the side of the road in a rough part of town.

I prefer a small network built on something more substantial than what is premiering on Netflix.
The important part about this is that even if 100% true, it's only exploitable with physical access or a compromised USB device of some kind—it's not remotely exploitable. (Exploits also would not last beyond a clean boot.)

So while the headline is strictly true based on the contents of the article, I would call it excessively alarmist, at best. This is not something that the average user ever needs to worry about.
Agree. This was a good outcome, and the award went to two very deserving scientists.
Brady Haran (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brady_Haran). I Like to believe he's somewhat of a low-key internet celebrity with a slew of YouTube channels and a successful podcast. All-round top bloke, too.

How did you find the job and how did the interview go?
Unless you own the company, then the extra pay is coming out of your profits.
This is infuriating. I spent over $5000 on a 16-inch MBP in only January this year.

If I'm a lawyer, CEO, or a human rights journalist (or just anyone) who professionally needs a reasonably secure device as the normal expectation, how can it be reasonable to be required to have your laptop with you at all times in order to maintain its security?

Is there precedent in consumer law that if security integrity of hardware is a normal feature of that product category and a computer model is fundamentally unfixable in this aspect, then you have the right to demand a refund or a replacement with a model not containing the same defect? (I know that this depends on your country. My country has strong consumer law.)

It's interesting to think about where the line is there. If someone really wants to compromise your device, then they could open it up and plant a bug anyway. But this feels over the line and grounds for being a manufacturer hardware fault, because attacking it would not require to physically modify the device but to merely use the device in the manner that it already came from the manufacturer.
I do think it’s strange that HN has a supposed stance against political discussion, but allows discussion of the one popular policy from a very unpopular administration. Seems like a double standard leaning to the right.
I’ve interviewed with both Facebook and Coinbase via Triplebyte. Guess what? Both forced me through a complete gauntlet of interviews and disregarded Triplebyte’s report entirely. So what is the point of Triplebyte in all of this?
Well if the activation lock is still enforced server side you also lose iMessages, FaceTime, Continuity between Apple devices like your iPhone, maybe XCode if it checks for activation during install. If you could get the MacBook to boot it would technically be a usable PC, but it would probably lose a bunch of what makes a MacBook special to begin with.

You wouldn't get updates and would have to probably blackhole all of the Apple domains. May be enough to not make it resellable (or at least allow the person who bought it to file something with eBay or whoever to get a refund).
“The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long”
This is the conclusion I've come to on the monolith I work on. We're trying to extract some microsercives but the start of that effort hasn't yet bore fruit and the pace / cost is so slow I suspect it won't really be possible to actually fully carve out some of the stuff we are trying to.

To be fair, at least the initial stuff is stuff that would benefit from being carved out owing to it being integration code that should be independently deployable allowing for quicker turn around of issues with the integration and us being able to benefit from newer tech we want to use but can't.

The actual domain stuff we haven't been able to touch. Mostly because the data access is a veritable trashfire. It's a can that has been kicked 10 years down the road.

My thinking has basically shifted to pushing for us to carve out services for things our backend does that aren't in our core domain but are heavily trafficked, possibly because they're not well designed, and fundamentally affect the performance characteristics of our app. Carving them out is actually tractable, and we can probably reasonably get better perf/design and IMO would be a value add.

For our domain there is just no way we should even attempt to carve it up. We just need to tidy that sucker up until the domain operations are performant, and cleanly implemented.

If and only if we get there would it make sense to attempt carving out of the domain. But in reality we will probably live with a few non-domain related microservice, integration microservice, and our monoservice.
I've also run elementary school coding classes and my lesson plans and class engagement are largely the same as the OP.

The differences were just that I used Python rather than Perl and the program was a higher / lower game:

from random import randint

random_number = randint(1, 100)
guess = 0

while guess != random_number:
guess = int(input("Guess a number: "))
if guess > random_number:
print("Too high!")

if guess < random_number:
print("Too low!")

if guess == random_number:
print("You win!")

(there's obviously a lot of ways you'd write this as better code but the point was to teach the absolute basics)

So the basic concept of the program is essentially the same (command line based and integer comparisons) but it's structured as a game. I too encouraged the kids to hack their programs and they loved it! In fact at every stage of the class, from teaching how strings work (eg below)....

name = input("What is your name? ")
print("Hello " + name)

...to the completed game, I gave kids time to hack the code and adapt it how they wanted. Kids genuinely loved it. They'd put silly code in as jokes and found it hysterical that the computers repeated their silly code etc. They were very much engaged.

Obviously there will always be outliers who don't enjoy those types of lessons -- I mean everyone is different after all. But this kind of structure for teaching code is actually very effective for engaging the majority of the class.

Show HN: I built a Rotten Tomatoes-style platform for durable products
This is a complex issue. The good news: Dr. S. has certainly received plenty of recognition (e.g., https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-05308-5). Would love to hear an interview with him and his thoughts on who should be recognized.
A few months ago, I began developing the Buy For Life platform. It started as a simple list where people could add brands that manufacture durable products. It now evolved into a full platform with aggregated product reviews from all over the web, discussions, and various metrics to calculate a score for each brand and product.

I want to help people finding the most durable and sustainable products in the world. It should become the Rotten Tomatoes for products, almost like you check the trustworthy rating of a movie before you watch it, people could check a brand or product before they purchase it.

A metric I am working on is the average cost per month of ownership. That feels like a great metric that shifts consumer mindset - the longer you own something, the more you save. I still don't have enough data, so please submit your favourite product.

Let me know what you think!

PS: this project is completely non-commercial and entirely community-driven. It is still a work in progress, but I want to get feedback as early as possible.
Almost always gross. When you hear "I make $150,000" in 99.9% of cases that will be the number that are hired at. For that exact number I would expect the actual annual cash in hand to be close to $80,000.

Note that is VERY individual circumstances specific. The largest chunk of that missing $70,000 went to taxes at the local, state, and federal level. Easily $45,000 of it is gone in taxes. There is also a common game of moving pre tax dollars around that benefit you, but not exactly the same way a dollar in hand would.

The two most common are 401ks (typically 4-8% of gross depending on employee matching) which is money that goes into a retirement account for you and you can't touch it until you are old (55 or 65 or something, not up to date on the numbers there) without incurring both a significant penalty of 10% but also having to pay tax on it the year you withdrawal it. There are a few hardship exclusions like medical, first time home buying etc, where you can dip into this untaxed pool of money but for the most part can't touch it until retirement.

The other common pre tax exclusion is an HSA where you get to put pre taxed dollars into an account that can only be used to pay for medical expenses. Essentially every high dollar professional in America takes full advantage of this offering as we all expect to have out of pocket medical expenses and it makes no sense to pay them with taxed dollars instead of pre taxed dollars.
Blood oranges have very similar interactions to grapefruit, so it likely is referring to them.
It's not hard to crash computers with stuff like this. I remember in college someone built a tesla coil in one of the lab rooms that would crash people's phones.

Laws "against murder" != laws "to prevent murder/catch murderers".

Nobody anywhere is challenging the laws again child abuse. What they are challenging is the laws attempting to decrease it or catch people doing it through means that don't actually work and harm other important things.

To use your example, it's like writing a law "against murder" that's written in a way that actually doesn't make murder illegal and also bans seat belts.

In fact, this "scope creep" you mention is exactly how laws work. First you make murder illegal (done), then you start looking at the common causes for murder and find ways to fix those.
It makes sense. Every arc is an impulse and that's wideband noise. (The FFT of a spark is basically a horizontal line.) The earliest radios were spark gap transmitters.
I think I knew about interactions with benzos, but didn’t know about Tylenol, Aleve, caffeine (!?) or protease inhibitors.
Again it’s hard to see how you got that from my post. It seems like guns are something of a dog whistle for you, so let’s just leave it at that.
I hated those heaters. The most common failure point. Made a lot of money selling them, though :D

And replacing the pump/heater assembly on a Bosch/Siemens is harder than on Indesit/Beko/Whirlpool. Have to fiddle with a screwdriver and a flashlight from the side.

On that note, the drainage needs cleaning often (or the sensor whines about it), and I liked the water flow sensor (which they use instead of a pressure switch) on Bosch/Siemens.
Mostly pair programming for about 7 years now. It's not a silver bullet and don't overdo it but it definitely has advantages. I like it but don't love it.

People dislike it when they pair on a story that's trivial or both parties know exactly what needs to be done. I've also found that people haven't taken the time to look at different strategies of pairing.

With the latest iphones, I already stopped night charging and just top it up whenever I'm close to a charger, i.e., in the car or in the kitchen.
I had the opposite reaction. I thought -- great! We can return all this hardware that people have irresponsibly abandoned, and bring it back to successful reuse.
Hello,

Some days I actually sit on it for 8-10 hours (I hate to admit it).

I do take breaks and it can become fatiguing so occasionally, I feel like having a slouch so I go lie on the floor or use a regular chair (with decent posture) for a break.

Probably what this chair has done for me the most is make sitting with bad posture feel noticeably strange and unnatural.

There must also be something to be said for the fact that there is a “ramp up” time. I don’t think I have a stronger back from using this chair alone, although I guess I do have a less damaged and atrophied one. I do remember a time when it felt like certain muscles were getting stronger. I vaguely remember it taking a few months to become comfortable.

It’s worth mentioning that I do a fair bit of weight training too and that I’ve had the chair for about 8 years.
Indeed, though that’s another topic entirely.
As someone who lives in a different state I object to someone who is otherwise equal in ability to me earning more for the same work (I have personal reasons to not want to move to CA). I understand why companies do it (only those who have a reason they need to stay in CA - why google doesn't move doesn't make sense), but I will object to my government encouraging the situation even more. My representative needs to be sensitive to that.
Big if true, but I really don't need a thinner phone. Marketing will most likely salivate at an easy to break phone. Therefor I really hope this breakthrough is fake.
I don't think it's a case of "poor" Mojica. He discovered some important properties around the palindromic nature of DNA in bacteria, as did others in Japan. While it was important, it is not the same level of contribution as Doudna and Charpentier. I don't think that there is much debate around this.
There is a comparison site called pcpartpicker which I've used to locate hundreds of parts. I'm in the UK not EU, although it does have local sites for most EU countries. Amazon is rarely the cheapest and never the only store it finds, so I usually select other stores despite already paying for Amazon Prime.
Could be a good moment for the European software industry.
Discussing policies and discussing politics is hardly the same thing.
Depends on how you look at it.

If you look into holographic theory (which I prefer personally) then the entire mass of a black hole is represented as information on the surface of the black hole, explaining the relation between mass and surface not mass and volume. This solves some problems with the information theorem (no information can be lost) by presenting all information contained within a black hole on it's surface where it can be read, atleast theoretically. (Here information and mass would be considered equivalent)

To some extend, it still holds true if you just consider the mass of a black hole to be it's singularity and it's volume the volume that fills the event horizon.

edit: Also consider; if you placed an equivalent amount of mass in space that occupies less volume than the event horizon would, it would automatically be a black hole (and note; the schwarzschild radius is not necessarily the event horizon, the event horizon can be tighter if the black hole rotates)
