I am wondering how such situation develops as flossing your teeth should in theory avoid such issue, or not?
Sort of. Modern Compilers convert your code to an intermediate language which is similar to a generalized type of assembly language, that is then converted into opcodes of your cpu architecture.

This program goes in the opposite direction. But the problem is often not a one-to-one function so it has to pick at each stage what to produce based on heuristics. Thus you can get anything ranging from really close to the original source code to way off or nothing at all.

Thus the assembly listing that it produces is invaluable in deciphering what is going on and you can give many hints along the way to assist both the disassembly where that fails and decompiling to figure out how things work.
None of this has anything to do with how much time is taken. The whole thing could run in a millisecond.

Pandoc is on the the programs that always surprises me with how good it is. Everything I throw at it works perfectly. I write my assignments for class as Markdown or plain text and it easily makes them a good looking Word or LaTeX document seamlessly.

It's also fantastic for converting my class notes from Markdown with LaTeX equations into beautiful PDFs.
Facebook did pay $2 billion for Oculus. That probably helped them position themselves to have a breakout moment.

But yes, it's unfortunate that Facebook is killing them this way. The good news is that everyone makes a VR headset now, and people are writing VR games, so it will probably be A Thing even without Oculus involved. Innovator's dilemma and all that.
Not sure why you think this. The only difference is the protocol of which our already digital currency is facilitated through.

The dollar remains the global reserve currency because it has the most demand due to the purchasing power of US companies/consumers, has a remarkably predictable inflationary policy, and the government backing it is very well funded/stable.
Idk how it compares as I don’t have Steam and haven’t tried this out but, afik this looks really similar to Celestia [1] which I do know well and Celestia is Awesome!

So if this is a more robust simulator than Celestia I’m down to try it out.

Ask HN: How to find profitable business ideas?
I know it’s a cliche at this point that you should scratch your own itch. But, it’s a tough battle of survival. With hundreds of startup going live each day and SaaS market which seems quite saturated, how do you find profitable business ideas?

Can you explain how did you built on initial idea to make thousands or millions of dollars?

I think I can agree with a lot of this, but I feel it’s a lot like blaming the government, when we live in a democracy so we are the government, and so I think programmers themselves deserve the blame.

Any time I try to tell someone how to tell a computer what to do, I can guarantee someone will tell me how unreadable it is. Or how important it is to use java or python because there are lots of java or python programmers (what a sucker move!). Or maybe someone will tell me I can’t manage memory so I need rust to tell me how. Or I need libraries because I can’t (or shouldn’t) be “trusted” to write certain kinds of code. And so on.

Most programmers (people really) are downright toxic to anyone not like them, and maybe it’s really the fault of the bullies who came before you, but it is you, the reader who can help stop it.

It’s like in 1984 how they reduce language so it is harder to express yourself, so it is with software. But we are truly free so thoughtcrime is only a crime if you let it be one. Of course there will be people (programmers) looking down on the others and will use their doublespeak to lock people down and prevent anyone from getting the idea they can do something else with their stuff.

What if we simply stop telling people how not to code — and call those that do out for their bad behaviour — then maybe more people will start coding. And maybe just maybe our “government” will demand an end to the other walls and ceilings in software.

I used Anki extensively in grad school. There was a moment when I realized it was really working in a class on linear dynamical systems— all of a sudden everything just got easy. It takes discipline to both create good cards and study regularly, but man the payoff is good. That said...

> alleging slave labour

Just to address the first item, this is referring to (ie all sourced from) the ASPI report, which is literally murdoch media. It's actually quite instructive to look at how it spread via rest of the media ecosystem from that one piece of agitprop.

Also pretty comical that the ostensibly "educated" tech people are no harder to manipulate than the fox news audience.

Interesting, in a documentary (puff piece) by Singapore-based news organisation CNA, I heard a near identical story about faulty fridges made by the China-based manufacturer Haier [1] being smashed by their workers in a similar way in 1984 after an order by CEO Zhang Ruimin: https://youtu.be/WK7mxBy1fNw?t=594

Sounds like it's a a common strategy for low-quality manufacturers trying to improve themselves (other than Kaizen / The Toyota Way)
You can model it as a spring, but it's not a spring in the slinky sense - it's just a thin piece of material whose electrical properties are affected by tiny changes in stress/strain.

Its operation fundamentally involves (near infinitesimal) movements, but then so does a cell phone pole. I don't see what we gain with debating its "solid stateness" (especially when hedged with "effectively"). Maybe you could point to some effect that this distinction implies?

Rather than do all that, at least in Gnome, when I unzip it has an option of 'preserve directory structure' that I unchecked, which basically gets rid of all the folders. From there I was easily able to mass remove all the json and other non-photo files, leaving only the photos behind. Good luck.

In my opinion, you are reversing the causation. There is demand for dollars because it is the global reserve currency. This is enforced through treaties and trade agreements and other countries are structurally locked in to using dollars.

> You are claiming that because something cannot be proven false, it cannot be assumed false.

Not quite - it can easily be assumed false - I offer this thread as evidence. And I am certainly not making that claim - it is being inferred that I am making that claim, but if you read the text I have written, you will find no sign of it. Isn't that interesting...what might be going on here?

What I am complaining about is that everything that has had a "conspiracy theory" label attached to it, is asserted as being(!) False.

> That's fine, but just because something can't be proven false, one doesn't need to assume it has merit beyond a random statement.

No one here has done that. But plenty of people have done essentially the opposite: if something hasn't been proven True (regardless of any actual effort), then therefore it --is-- False. This is such comically flawed logic, it is near impossible to believe that it is being simultaneously followed by so many people who rely upon strict logic for their daily job. I would say that this paradox hints at the potency of the power that is in play.

> My statement about mental health of conspiracy theorists is based on a journalist who interviewed dozens of conspiracy theorists and found that almost all of them had suffered an incident where they were betrayed in their personal lives and believed that most people were lying about them. I found that compelling. He wasn't god though. Maybe he was wrong.

Maybe his report didn't quite line up with reality. Are journalists ever wrong? Do stories ever appear in the newspaper that are "a little" sensationalized?

What matters, is what is true. Or, at least, that's what should matter, and what used to matter. But it seems like a new post-truth culture is developing, and that culture can be found in very high concentrations right here on HN.

Your understanding is not correct. Open source does not only mean than you can view the source. If you're not familiar with the term, look it up. Don't make things up.
I’ve always found that lots of definitions in one file is easier than splitting code over 100 files. It reduces reliance on complex, and often slow, tooling for analyzing directory structures and, most development tools support opening the same file twice at different offsets.
I'm happy to see technology used in this way. Sadly, the article provides no bottom line numbers. Perhaps keep an eye out in the mid-term future for articles regarding the "University of Bristol" and "Chernobyl". In the final paragraph, we learn that funds have been cut to programs in the area, leading one to imagine that 1) this is how the door was opened for the University of Bristol project and 2) we got suckered into a HN slashvertisement promoting Boston Dynamics.
> Higgins' analyses of Syrian weapons

The ironic and actually instructive part of this is that his work was used to rationalize the Syrian war for the west, which has left an absolutely devastating trail of misery for countless millions of Syrian people.

Even more instructive is that the people responsibly for that misery all still pretend to be the good guys.

My dental hygienist is always stressing the important of getting under the gums, mainly by getting the right angle on the brush. People have a tendency to just brush with the bristles perpendicular to the surface of the tooth which misses under the gum.

This could probably be useful for a fair number of people. With all the changing directions as you move to different spots in your mouth during brushing, it is not that hard to have a section where you miss doing under the gum. If you always brush using the same route around your mouth, you could miss the gums in the same section every time.

My understanding is that the point of these fancy position sensing toothbrushes is to help you avoid doing that.

I certainly would not go out and buy one, though, unless my hygienist told me that I'm missing particular spots and I failed to fix the problem by being more careful during brushing and by using something like this [1].

This just isn't how science work. Papers don't stand on their own because it takes far too long for even a subject matter expert to evaluate one paper, and that's even assuming that the paper was written honestly and without fudging the results.

Science works on reputation. That reputation is most evident in the form of peer review where trusted members of the community review papers and decide which ones are good enough to get published. It also works behind the scenes in people finding out what papers to read by word of mouth, and people setting there prior on how trustworthy it is by who the authors are.

Reputation is built partially (largely even) on being able to reliably publish true and verifiable results, and doing this without ever playing any politics will quickly build a reputation (meanwhile building a reputation by playing politics is next to impossible), but it's still reputation based.
This is a good point, and also kind of amazing. Advertising is so lucrative that there's no need to earn money from the kind of products that everyone else is paying to advertise.
No, not particularly.

I know some principled, driven, and wonderful people who work for Facebook.

While I despise Facebook as a company, that doesn't reflect negatively on said people, at least insofar as they do not work on the kinds of things that I dislike Facebook for.

I would however hold them to account and openly criticize them if they did start working on such things. And I can and do criticize them when they spin apologia for Facebook as a company.

The topic is much more analogous to "what ever happened to all of the hype about ice cream scoops revolutionizing the food industry" and explicitly not about cryptocurrency (ice cream shops) yet this response is explicitly about cryptocurrency and acts like there was never any other hype around blockchain use cases.

Do you actually hold the position blockchain was never hyped beyond what it could do for currency or are you just talking about a completely different topic than this post entirely?

what is a good VR headset that someone can buy that is not oculus?
Yes, but you also get the downsides of having a full computer. Namely, it has an OS, it has an SD card that can wear out, it takes longer to boot, etc.
I think the thing that you have to answer is why you need distributed consensus. You're a startup with a business relationship with your customers -- you're the common trusted party. Your customers are using your software so if they were worried about you cheating the system they (and you) have bigger problems since your business is reputation.

Also what is the point of mining or and proof of $whatever system? The thing your customers provide is a signed attestation of some fact and you provide a signed attestation of the time that fact was received. Why is there a need to "vote" in way on what is true? This is just a database or honestly a folder of signed messages.

And I say signed, but none of this really need to be cryptographic in any way since they're customers that could just authenticate to you which is as much a proof of their identity as any key.
