That's such an apt analogy, considering that Google Play Protect will helpfully offer to remove sideloaded apps every chance it gets, citing security.
It's worth noting that some academics cite that paper as a joke, I'm not sure how many genuine citations there are.
Readability is a real boon for older and slower computers, too. I'm trying to make it more prominent in TenFourFox for that reason. We're using the latest version and it really works well on all kinds of pages.

WeChat seemed to have implemented a solid "mini app" ecosystem used by millions of users ???.
This is so true and absolutely correct. The issue though is not gathering our data (progress) its comparing it against they're engineering drawing etc.. that are constantly changing on a file share that we never know about.

You want it geo-referenced? Good luck.. so you end up putting a bunch of people on the team working for them to get decent data which bloats your budget and then you look bad to client.
That's not really an unrelated field - thats just bioengineering and synthetic biology. Thats one of the more chemistry related chemistry novels in recent times actually, since the lack of a biology nobel has led to so many biology breakthroughs getting shoved into chemistry instead that its become a bit of a running joke. This year is no exception with CRISPR being looped under chemistry even though it woupd make the most sense under a separate new bio nobel.
Sure, but it would probably end up filtering out much of the crap anyway.
The questions you need to ask are what is the cost of the alternative?

What is the cost in the exploit being used in the wild?

What is the cost of the PR shitstorm that would come your way?

How much business could you lose? Customer confidence?

Is this an exploit that could be devastating to your continued operations? Would it lead to legal action? What are your duties to inform customers/users/legal bodies? Will there be any fines involved? You may need to retain an expert PR firm to handle the communication to the world to put a good spin on the story, another cost. Did you breach GDPR? Does the data that could have been leaked reveal business practices you'd rather keep secret? Is there any kind of internal risk of leakage? How far does the exploit go? Can it be combined with other exploits that could be used to gain access to internal systems?

The industry has collectively decided that exploits have a value and I'm not sure these factors are taken into account. You should look at examples of companies that have suffered an attack and look the damaged caused (for example, Experian, Blackbaud come to mind) to understand the impact it can have.

How much does it cost to have a CEO tweet the stock price is "too high imo" and causes a dip? That may cost him potential investors to think again.

Of course, you can't know that person who was just about to give you $50,000 worth of business decided not to because of how you handled the situation but it's always a possibility.

I know I've made (small) decisions like this because I didn't like how it was handled or didn't agree with some of the details, and I no longer consider myself a possible customer as a result.
Financial crises are what financial model assumptions become when they grow up.
In your situation, I would simply start to eat along with children, because they are hungry and have bed time. Even if you called, you cant reasonably expect everyone to wait for you with dinner for an hour. I would also expect the partner to let me know in advance, but if he is forgetful we would either eat or call.

> People do that all the time - A person who has promised their partner they'll get home by 6:30pm every evening for dinner has ceded control over their schedule. Nothing unusual about that.

I was literally reacting to parent who said this: "you could accomplish the same thing by reliably leaving work at the same time every day - but some would say ceding authority over your own schedule is a greater indignity than ceding privacy over your current location."

In any case, promising something is not ceding authority by any reasonable definition. Parent claimed that having partners location all the time is necessary to avoid "ceding authority over schedule". Theory was his, not mind

> A partner who will have dinner ready when you get home from work doesn't seem like a red flag to me.

When that requires constant location tracking, then it is red flag. If your schedule have you coming in within an hour long span, I find it odd to organize the dinner so that it is done exactly wherever you come it. I would expect the dinner be more regular, at the time when you are usually already at home.
The obvious one is that when you conclude your farming operation and cease dispensing fertilizer, you leave behind a sterile desert where there was once fertile soil. This may not bother you if your intention is to farm indefinitely, but it's a bit depressing from a land-stewardship point of view.

> There was the facade of “free elections,” but only candidates supported by the rich could ever get on the ballot. The government was completely controlled by the rich, as were the robotic security forces, the military and the intelligence organizations.

Fact or fiction?
It's a good question. It can be quite infuriating to watch people build inferior monstrosities to solve problems that have well known and efficient solutions. I see examples everywhere of engineers trying to design custom algorithms for problems that can be trivially solved using linear programming or constraint programming. Not that custom algorithms can't beat generalized solvers...just that you aren't likely going by to be the person that designs it when you're a mid level engineer on a time budget and haven't researched any related work.

Beyond that, I think cross breeding some insights from other fields could bring some efficiency improvements to problems that are squarely in the domain of computer science. OS scheduling, for example, has plenty of related people/materials scheduling parallels in the Operations Research field, and possibly some in Auction Theory as well. Same for load balancing (e.g. The Min Cost Multi-Commodity Flow problem).
tl;dr IMHO this is the Hacker News version of a New York Times Op-ed article, in both the good and bad sense.

IMHO this article is a lot of very well-argued, rational suppositions and hypotheticals. It's an op-ed piece masquerading as a watertight argument.

And it depends on a lot of "what-if's". One assumption depends on the other and in each case it comes down to "this is what I think is logical".

Maybe he's right, maybe he's not, but the thinkpiece is riddled with (reasonable) assumptions when there are probably studies or reports that have been done which could have been referred to and cited for a higher degree of certainty.

I feel like there are plenty of political scientists, people studying the internet, or just other studies, etc, which at this point have researched in depth the 2016 election, and while citing Nate Silver is a great start, if you want to make an argument for what's true, then that's insufficient.

And plenty of people making a serious study of online censorship and freedom of the press.
The Director of National Intelligence also said this morning that there is NO intelligence supporting that it's fabricated: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/hunter-bidens-laptop-not...

The only source for "appears to be fabricated" appears to be politicians on the same side as Joe Biden saying so, as far as I can tell.

Well, but it is part of the "requirements imposed by society". For example, a few years ago in my city a supermarket roof caved in during reconstruction, killing 54 people; one cause of the event was an after-project underspecced change to a single key component, and the responsibility for that fact was quite important (I believe the civil engineer who signed off that change was sentenced to 6 years prison for manslaughter) - and arguably we do want everyone involved to consider that responsibility and not just "make the call" that seems sensible without going into detail, since not going into detail kills people.

The source of the material is very clear. Hunter Biden left a laptop at a repair shop, and the guy at the repair shop made multiple copies. The repair shop guy has come forward. The FBI also has at least 1 copy.
One remaining gap between these hybrid systems and ducklings, children etc is that their deep component still is doing supervised learning, with a data set that pre-provides a vocabulary of labels, whereas humans and animals don't get that. We have to decide which distinctions are important either because of in-built neural structure, or what we're exposed to (like learning the phoneme set of a language).

While unsupervised learning can pick out a bunch of ways of distinguishing groups of data points, mapping between those and the representations required by a symbolic system still seems like a step no one has figured out.
From research I did, the flame retardant in carpet is actually mainly in the padding. So I compromised on a wool underlayment and regular nylon carpet. The underlayment was not cheap but on the whole the cost was not that much higher.
Oddly this leaves out what I would consider the most "elementary" proof, starting from Bernoulli's definition of e and requiring only the squeeze theorem.

You begin by writing exp(z) = lim_{N->\infty} (1 + z/N)^N. Note that in this limit we do not need the analytic continuation of powers: N is an integer, so the function y^N is single-valued on C. This gives a definition of the exponential function that is immediately entire and does not rely on calculus.

Then we can write exp(ix) = lim_{N->\infty} (cos(arctan(x/N)) + i sin(arctan(x/N)))^N ⋅ (1 + x^2/N^2)^N. (note that sec(arctan(t)) = 1 + t^2).

It is easy to show that lim_{N->\infty} (1 + x^2/N^2)^N = 1 for all finite x, so we find exp(ix) = lim_{N->\infty} (cos(arctan(x/N)) + i sin(arctan(x/N)))^N. It is not necessary to apply L'Hopital's rule since neither of the factors approaches zero or infinity -- we can simply split the limit.

By induction we can then show that (cos(x) + i sin(x))^A = cos(Ax) + i sin(Ax) for all integer A. We apply this to the previous expression to conclude that exp(ix) = lim_{N->\infty} = cos(N ⋅ arctan(x/N)) + i sin(N ⋅ arctan(x/N)).

Therefore we only need to find lim_{N->\infty} N ⋅ arctan(x/N). Consider the triangle with vertices (0,0), (1,0), (1, x/N): its hypotenuse intersects the unit circle at (N / sqrt(N^2 + x^2), x / sqrt(N^2 + x^2)), subtending an arc of exactly arctan(x/N). A similar triangle inscribed at this vertex has a short side which is necessarily less than the arc length. We therefore have Nx / sqrt(N^2 + x^2) < N*arctan(x/N) < x. The left and (trivially) right limits both equal x, so by squeezing lim_{N->\infty} N arctan(x/N) = x and therefore e^(ix) = cos(x) + i sin(x).
I had a beeping issue on Firefox 81 running on Windows 10. The weird thing was, the beeping noise continued even after I closed Firefox. There were some OS updates pending installation, so I just chose to reboot/install instead of troubleshoot further.
I have mixed feeling about this: it looks like the author believes only him can implement it right [1].

This not how internet protocols development work. The spec should be enough, including security considerations. And multiple competing and interoperable implementations should be seen as a good thing in my opinion.

The neat thing about the radio tech in question here is that while the signal continues to weaken, broadcast and reception tech keeps up with it. I don't know when (if) the curve runs out on that process, but we have a planet's worth of resources to bring to bear on the problem, as long as someone's willing to keep paying to upgrade the transceivers (and it's work that pays some nice side dividends in terms of being a convenient toy problem for testing new radio tech).

Since we know exactly what we're looking for and exactly where it should be, we have all kinds of neat radio tools to bring to bear on sampling a faint signal from interstellar noise.

iirc it was used in lisp compilers/interpreters to speed up object unboxing (as in answering the question: "what class does the object pointed by this pointer belong to?")
My theory is that such a feature would take away too much power from Google being able to control the "sorting" of the search results and it would pull away the veil of what they really do (or don't do). I think the bulk of the common search queries and information on the web (that isn't exotic and super-unique) is accumulated at any one point by a handful of websites (think 100-1000-10000?).

It's highly conceivable that one could get a completely novel and diverse web and search experience if we were to exclude those concentrated websites entirely from search results. At that point, google can no longer slide on just showing the top results from a tiny subset of their index, and would be forced to always show results from the entire index. As opposed to now where 99.9% of the time, they mostly show you results from that smaller subset and 0.1% of the time show you the rest (that is of course only if you have a super-specific query or you force them with some of their remaining search modifiers).
I'm not approaching this emotionally.

I suggest once again that defeatism and apoligism has led you to believe that Apple could build an "engineering marvel" in AirPods, but couldn't figure out a non-permanent attachment mechanism for a battery that doesn't otherwise compromise the product and the experience. Remember, we're not even talking about user-serviceable. Just, you know, serviceable.

> This is a borderline physically impossible problem that's just not worth it to solve.

Wouldn't you not have said the same about any aspect of AirPods before? No wire between them? Smooth hand-off?

I mean, think about it, they were able to miniaturize all those parts, solve all the difficult electrical engineering and software challenges, but somehow they're just physically incapable of finding a non-permanent battery attachment mechanism? Do they not have access to all the world's best mechanical engineers?

> No, seriously. Let us sit down and compute this:

We agree creating tons and tons of waste, well that's bad. Where we apparently disagree is that because this is a "small" amount of waste it doesn't matter. As though a lot of small amounts of waste together do not form big waste? If we let Apple get away with building thoroughly unrepairable devices, why would we stop anyone? And suddenly we're right back where we started.

Everyone needs to engineer with reparability in mind, and yes, the biggest tech company in the world is a great place to start. Especially one with 50%+ margins, as thus, could very easily afford to try.

As a final note, to be clear, I didn't suggest adding a screw. I suggested threading the base. However, I am not a mechanical engineer, those are the folks who I would trust to come up with a solution to this problem.

I'm not even arguing about this per se, I reject the theory that anyone who believes in reparability is a luddite and that there's no way to increase the wealth of nations without being as aggressively wasteful as possible.
QR codes are amazing and yet untapped, in my opinion. They're like barcodes but:

- amount of data can vary from small to large
- error correction

They don't have to just hold URLs and can contain raw information that custom programs can read. I love their use in it for virtual currencies as public/private addresses b/c it simplifies them for users. Venmo also picked it up not too long ago to easily pay/request to people you may not have friended which is useful for street vendors.

Someone posted an example here about contact tracing and how it just leads to a web form to fill details in. Ideally, if we had our shit together, there can be some standard contact tracing format for QR and use programs to scan the data in to auto fill and submit your details to.

Often, you would write a lot less code if you were doing it by hand.
Right now we over-feed the world, especially ourselves in the West. We produce an enormous amount of low-quality food, and malnutrition is driven more by external interference (misgovernment, wars) than by agriculture. Food is, as a percentage of people's budgets, cheaper than it has ever been.

That suggests that there's a middle ground, where we shift to more labor-intensive practices to grow some more expensive but better produce that's less hard on the environment, without dismantling the entire industrial system. People could introduce more fresher foods, while still growing vast amounts of highly-processed-maize-and-soybeans for people who can only afford that.

There are a lot of dimensions to that. It's not easy to prove that eating this way is necessarily healthier or easier on the environment. But we do know that the Western diet is bad for people's health, and we do know that it's hard on the environment, so it's worth considering alternatives.

Early in the interview Lattner does a great job of selling Swift.

I think Swift is a great language but the lack of cross platform development is holding it back.
That's consistent with their past behavior. Remember when the US elected a Twitter troll as President and Twitter modified the TOS to include a "newsworthiness" carve-out so they didn't have to follow their own policies to ban him?
Honestly I think it's an arcane set of rules that's meant to cement and elevate the position of the managerial/upper-class and ignore "the barbarians".

As much as the left claims to love the working class, all this cancellation stuff and hyper-sensitivity effectively disowns and demonizes the entire working class (idk, at least in my experience doing blue collar stuff, pretty much everyone I know in the city now would have an aneurysm sitting around a lunch trunk at break).

Got my driver's license as a teen on a Maruti 800. It was the car owned by my driving instructor.
The car was small(needed for reversing between slaloms 6 inches from the side minors without touching) with cheap and available parts even in the Caribbean and easy to replace the clutch after students burnt it out learning to drive.

My girlfriend's mother even bought one for herself after I recommended the same diving instructor.

I had the car for a few months after a hurricane ripped us a new one, smashing the rear glass of the car in the process. The island was shut down for the outside world for weeks and it wasn't for months until a replacement glass could be import from the Suzuki dealership. Being that is was a flat glass I simply cut a big piece of plexiglass and used that for the time being.
The rear hatch was also big enough to fit a sizable generator I needed to pickup that could not fit in my family's Corolla or Sentra.

The 3 cylinder engine surprisingly had enough power to climb 45-50 degree hills(needed when your island is all hills), albeit slowly.
