If you'd like some further/alternate reading on parts of this story, a guy has recently released part 1 of his story of Richard Garriott, Origin, and his Ultima series. The name of the book is Through the Moongate.
Note he said Seattle. If necessary, you can read up on the recent developments as regards law enforcement in that city for further clarity.
The same. I can hear faint noises just fine, and hear background noise when listening to headphones. I think it's related to my poor verbal skills.

My experience (and maybe I'm not good enough at ruby) is extending is still annoying, in particular I can't put code in the site, I need to write (and to share easily, even publish) an extension.

Color blind people likely wont be able to read your rainbow plots though. For example, for me Jet is just Blue - White - Green - Dark Green, with white being left of the middle. (Blue + Green is white since I don't see red)

So for me reading a Jet plot is basically impossible, they just doesn't make sense. Like, if a value is weak it is the brightest white, then if it gets even lower it gets blue. It peaks at green in the middle and then goes darker and darker as it gets stronger. Totally unintuitive.

Edit: Even worse is that how I see it depends strongly on what medium you use for the red and green channels. On some screens/paints red is basically black while others are almost fully green, depending on exactly where in the spectrum it is.
Let's not get carried away. It is very much debatable which database is "most mature".

Here is some discussions about how Postgres compares with Oracle DB (if $ is not an issue), it is often said that Postgres is a Cessna whereas Oracle DB is like a Fighter Jet: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24582937
I'm not sure that's a necessary prior. This also isn't a binary condition (informed vs uninformed) but rather a spectrum. One can be reasonably informed (or worse! Misinformed!) and still not vote optimally, but would trend in the direction. Because of this spectrum it is reasonable to also want to handle strategic voting well. Especially because there's nothing better to discourage strategic voting than to make it not very useful (think why would you perform this adversarial attack if it isn't effective?).

While the Condorcet criterion itself is nice it is far from the most important (cardinal systems are going to do a good job here). VSE really is measuring the MSE distance between true voter preference and candidate policy. But there are other criteria that matters. Simplicity is one, as it allows for transparency and voters to understand the system. Ranked systems typically fail the favorite betrayer. This includes RP and Schulze (the most popular Condorcet methods, and what I assume you are specifically referring to). But also consider factors like: expressiveness, spoiling, monotonicity, scaling (do ballots look the same?), and momentum.

It is really easy to get caught up in a single metric, but the difficulty of voting is that there are a lot of metrics that matter and you really have to do a lot of tuning. But I'll tell you that the researchers themselves, including Arrow, typically prefer cardinal systems because of the combination of criteria.

My biggest criticism of Exodos is that while it is from the original media, it is not the original media itself. They modify games for easy launching, often throwing away the installation files and other setup stuff.

I prefer the philosophy of “TDC”, the Total DOS Collection, which in most cases is simply the original install media in a zip file.

That seems correct based on their Twitter comments however their apology reference something (appeal) and a context (enforcement policy) which only applies (as written in the enforcement policy) if an action (read: penalty) was already decided upon. Given the original issues Jeremy had I would have assumed they'd take extra care to follow their own as written process and documents in the follow up. Clearly not.

This is a little bit like saying that it doesn't count that you piled fuel on a fire because it was just deadwood that you collected from down the road.

There's a difference between information sitting on a website and copying it into a thread that's primed with indignation. The only reason to do the latter is to incite people. Maybe there's even a good reason, but it's overshadowed by the damage that mob dynamics do to the community. This is an area where it's prudent to err on the side of caution.
It isn't possible to cryptographicaly validate messages sent by Hunter Biden using a copy of his mailbox because google (and presumably other mail systems) only records the DKIM data on received messages. Mail server place those headers on sent messages, but only the recipient would have the data.

So, if we want to validate any DKIM on messages from hbiden@rosemontseneca.com to v.pozharskyi.ukraine@gmail.com we'd need a copy of v.pozharskyi.ukraine@gmail.com's mailbox. And we'd also need for rosemontseneca.com to have been using DKIM at the time.

In any case, I don't agree that the title is misleading:

In colloquial usage "Foo email" is reasonably used both for email foo sent and email received in foo's box. "Let me check my email" -- for example, is not usually referring to checking email you sent.

I think this isn't as true as it used to be. Sure, SF and whatever the two others you were thinking of are massive, but there are smaller scenes in other places that also have funds available for incubation-type environments.

At the very least, understanding what the process is supposed to look like will help folks in those nascent scenes identify when something is amiss.
I discovered Mark's previous 24-hour comedy livestream here on HN thanks to httpsterio's submission https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23047365, and figured I'd pay it forward for anyone else by submitting his current stream.

It could be argued that if so many people have to use json to serialize floats then our problem is not a technical one.
Consider the following extension of this thermodynamic process. The gas is shocked, and then we adiabatically expand it back to its original density.

Because entropy was added, the gas is now hotter than initially. But it is not compressed. The heating wasn't due to compression, it was due to dissipation at the shock. That dissipative process is separate from compression, and you are confusing the two.

The incoherence of your position should have been clear to you. You seem to think that compression, as a cause of heating, doesn't even have a well defined amount of heating. Your explanation isn't even wrong, it's undefined.

This is (unsurpisingly) a difficult problem to solve. I've been trying to help my colleague at Gatsby (a React based framework that uses static site generation) with improvements to the image optimization API Gatsby includes with its image plugins.

Just when you think you've handled every edge case, you have to account for screen pixel densities, better ways to infer sizes and srcSet attributes on picture tags, browsers with or without modern features for loading images in better.. it's no small task!

(I'm obviously biased but I think Gatsby's solution is pretty good now)
After not being able to find the setting on my 1st gen SE, I wondered this too.

Wadjet Eye Games does more retro adventure stuff. Unavowed sits comfortably alongside old adventure game classics for me in terms of presentation and story. I've heard good things about their other games as well but haven't played them yet.

I wouldn't recommend Unavowed for a 7-year-old, though, as it can get quite dark.

Note this is mostly a historic concern. KDE largely stopped doggedly naming new projects K-something over a decade ago. Yes, there's examples to the contrary, and of course there are major projects sensibly sticking by their already-established brands, but plenty of core projects don't follow this scheme anymore (obviously Plasma, for one).

It's largely a relic of a time before interoperability-enabling standardization via freedesktop.org specs, when "k = will work well with your desktop" had much more utility to users. The Gnome crowd did the more or less the same thing with g, and also stopped.

As others mentioned, plenty of other tech orgs have pulled branding moves like this, be it iSomething or "My Foo", and arguably those provided less actual utility. I would argue this should affect the relative levels of irksomeness. :-)
Your Udacity course https://youtu.be/zZ2NgJ2-A4c was my first taste of k8s and really got me excited about it. I eventually decided to focus and specialize around it and couldn't be happier. Thank you!
I've had similar experiences in Los Angeles. The problem is not that they are negligent but rather that there is so much for them to do that they don't have time to get around to crimes such as this.
How is the failure mode different from a human’s? The human mind comes with an answer no matter the situation it’s presented with, and that may be a stupid answer.

There is thankfully no (known) input that makes the human mind fail. There are known inputs for some animals though (like chickens).
This is really neat, and to me this is revealing of the true power of machine learning. That you can program a computer not by telling it what to do and how to do it, but what you want it to do and it'll learn to imitate and replicate the behavior even on new inputs, very similar to how you teach people tasks.

Please don't cherry pick select stats and your graph reading needs some brushing up.

The fact that current administration is doing NOT-A-THING to improve anything should be reason enough to vote him out.

But the fact that he has made education worse, deficits larger, demonstrated incompetent handling of crisis, escalated race relations back to civil wars era, actively encouraging voter suppression just makes me wonder what really makes those supporters so ignorant. Maybe blind faith is more powerful than one believes.

(And all I talked about was only done in 1 year, I could go back and each year was bad).

We have turned into some third world country where injustice, incompetence and corruption are routine and people just turn a blind eye.

And I have loved ones who have been affected from this administrations policies. It must be easy to say everything you said when it doesn't directly affect you. But we are all real people who are getting impacted with this hateful incompetence.
Unless you have some feature detection for cats, I don't see how you can discern whether it is a cat or someone's arm.
No, you are wrong. The statement you make is true, but the implication is utterly false. You're selling this fiction that deafness is just an "old persons" thing.

According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (see https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/statistics/quick-statistics...)...

Among adults aged 20-69, the overall annual prevalence of hearing loss dropped slightly from 16 percent (28.0 million) in the 1999-2004 period to 14 percent (27.7 million) in the 2011–2012 period.

I worked for a company where our accessibility engineer was blind. He once took us through his world; speakers setup so we could hear his screen reader and get a feel for how he navigates websites.

I remember him starting the presentation saying, "Can everyone see this? Good because I can't."
Couching your language only gets you so far. By disclosing the facts that underpinning an opinion a speaker may enjoy protections over merely implying them.

Hey qwerty456127! We’ve actually had users build models like this in the past due to some respiratory tracking they need to get done in order to do their exercises properly, so they can’t concentrate on counting and therefore, an automated system proved useful for them.

On the other comment, yes! The app you are describing sounds really interesting, and it is something that could be build using image classification, you just need the right images and camera setup, though!
But 'jaywalking' is crossing anywhere where there isn't a crossing, even when the road is empty. That's a stupid rule.

I'm not saying people should expect physics to not apply to them, but they should be allowed to cross anywhere they want and cars should defer.

Cars used to have to have a person walking on foot in front of them to warn people with a flag.

> Separately from any constitutional challenges at the federal level, I bet many state supreme courts will be faced with challenges based on the premise that the state legislatures reached beyond their state granted powers.

I'm pretty sure that in the cases around the 2000 Presidential election (and possibly previously) one of the key federal rulings is that because selection of Presidential electors is a power of state legislatures (not states as a whole) specifically granted by the federal Constitution, State Constitutions cannot trump the federal Constitution in how that authority is allocated.
Yocto What I Wish I'd Known Docs for PetaLinux 2019.1
I’m not sure that we should read postmodernists as being willy-nilly relativists. Like certainly the sort of “practical postmodernism” that I see in Git is not willing to say “Linux is BSD” the way a relativist might. Linux is a unix kernel and more broadly an operating system and a community led by Linus Torvalds for several years and a dozen other things besides, postmodernists would claim—and that there is no Archimedean “sturdy enough place to stand” to tell you which of these definitions is the “best”—but it is not a bouncy castle or a monad burrito tutorial or whatever nonsense I just “cook up”. Like the philiospical postmodernists’ criticism of the modernist “reason is going to solve the problem of finally accessing truth and we are gonna have a big truth party” is that reason essentially makes a 2D projection of a 3D truth, and so you have to approach the same truth from multiple perspectives with reason to get a full appreciation for it. Reason does not eliminate the problem of perspectives—sort of a Platonic fallacy, that reason will give you one single “world of the forms”—and that it shouldn’t even try because perspectives are great, let’s have some more perspectives.

I’m tying this to the notion of Git’s branching model of course, each branch being something of a slightly different perspective or reference code for the same amorphous project of Linux. What consumers receive is just that then, a perspective on the broader project, one particular snapshot with various patches and so forth. In an OOP analogy Linux is a class and they receive an instance of that class, maybe.

But yeah I think I am with you, dissociating from all fixed concepts altogether is probably not a great direction to go with this. You want some project organization and request or issue tracking. I am sorry if I sort of was suggesting that issue-tracking at all was meaningless, I definitely don’t agree with that. But I do think it instead has something to do with recognizing that the code to resolve an issue (if there is code at all, if it's not just getting closed as works-as-intended) leads to that issue having a “status” which needs to be tracked across multiple branches, and that this process is tedious and error-prone when we try to do it by hand.
Thanks for the detailed explanation
I can turn off safe search but that doesn't reinstate all the pages/sites that have been delisted entirely.
One thing I found interesting is the only name in the letter is Jeremy's. It's "signed" by the committee. Is that a reputation protection technique? A way to diffuse responsibility? It seems like an imbalance of power to be able to drag someone's name through the mud while being anonymous yourself
Thanks for the link. I find it very frustrating when pop science magazines refuse to link to the actual paper. I don't want to read their attempt to put what the paper says into layman's language; their attempts are usually way off. I want to read the actual paper.

Edit: I was finally able to find links to actual papers in the article:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.10996

https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.08950

https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.05863

These appear to be the papers giving the various calculations the article discusses. There are also links to some previous work that was built on:

Solving unemployment isn't that simple:Startups, especially recent startups often increase productivity, and that reduces the amount of jobs or wages.
I didn't see system requirements and limitations. Gpu required? Normally for training ML hardware matters, so odd this doesn't talk about that at all.
When you loop back Ethernet links in the same computer, you need to take care with the configuration, because normally the operating system will not route the Ethernet packets through the external wires but will process them like being for localhost, so you will see a very large speed without any relationship with the Ethernet speed.

How to force the packets through the external wires depends on the operating system. On Linux you must use namespaces and assign the two Ethernet interfaces that are looped on each other to two distinct namespaces, then set appropriate routes.
This was for the LP. The rules apply the same to all other parties.

A single party's goal may be to avoid direct competition but they work together with each other to prevent all other parties. This is one of the things that's easy for them to have bipartisan agreements on.
Really. Only one of them is barely beyond experimental (Pony). The rest are experimental projects.
Half the value is in funding, the other half the network. You have an exponential decrease in opportunities elsewhere versus San Fran (and Seattle and NYC). Forcing, or at least strongly encouraging founders to seek out incubators as the One True Way will restrict, not increase opportunities for founders. What YC is doing is dressing up VC ideology as something that is universally founder-friendly. What's good for the capital owner isn't good for the founder when the founders do not have many options to choose from in the first place. In those situations it is better for the founder to keep more of their pie to themselves versus selling out to the only player in their very local, very small pond.

The weakest point in this authentication is that it depends on an outdated google key which is no longer available via DNS.

I was able to independently authenticate the older google DKIM key used here by taking emails I received to a gmail account in 2015 and validating that they verify with the claimed key.

This is something that many HN users should be able to do for themselves.

Someone else also opened a pull request which include an email they received (authored by me, in fact) which was cryptographically timestamped, complete with DKIM data matching this older Google key, into the Bitcoin blockchain back in 2016.

I think unless Google wants to step forward and suggest that they lost control of their private keys it is reasonable to assume that the particular email which is the subject of this repository is authentic.

If further complete emails which are a part of this event sent via gmail are published it should be trivial to authenticate them through the same technique.
It's a small game, they could port the entire game to another language or platform pretty easily.
I'll think about applying...after my other interviews.
Thanks for posting that.

I'm impressed by the lack of an Ivy-League sheepskin.

My own education is basically self-taught. It served me well (I'm smarter than the average bear), but boy, oh boy, have I looked up a lot of noses.

It's given me a fairly irreverent attitude that does not always win me friends.

It has also given me a drive to help out others that have challenges breaking through obstinance and prejudice (see "not winning friends," above).
This seems like a very high level spec, not a library or toolkit. There's also zero mention of practical concerns like protocol evolution, a canonical wire encoding etc.
