It would be very off-brand for Apple to cater to a niche market, with a product that focuses on hacking and customisation, at a low-price point. Everything about it is anti-Apple.
The original article saying that more unsuccessful research should be published, and I agree. The sentence quoted in gp is a bit hard to parse, but it is just another way to say unsuccessful research shouldn't be hidden and ignored. The context for the sentence is a bit more from the funding side, where I usually only half jokingly say "99% of all funded grants are successful!" Which is the complete opposite of reality, where 99% of experiments fail.
Ultimately this is only because such systems are forced to take on responsibility that our current system completely ignores. Public opinion seems to be that if you can't do something well, it is better to not bother.

The current system of capitalism would also be described by some as a "living nightmare". The poorest would feel that they have little freedom, and a great deal of oppression. And while many millions will die under such a system, they will not be considered to have died because of the system, because the system is cleverly described as hands-off: they simply died, and it was unavoidable. Whereas any step towards socialism requires being more hands-on - and while a lack of policy is just as effective as a lacking policy, the second is somehow worse.

Much of the corn is being grown in a way that erodes the soil and depletes the water reserves being used, compromising our ability to grow crops in those areas in the future.

Someone should probably tell the Illuminati.
Thanks a lot for the information!

I was mostly looking to get some VPSs from them, the $10.58 2vCPU, 4GB RAM ones to replace the current DO $15/mo 2vCPU 2GB RAM I'm using, as I would get better specs for a cheaper price.

It's a bit hard to tell without actual benchmarks if the performance will be better or worse than DO.
Sounds like you're listing the enterprise features people pay for. If Amazon sells it so cheaply why don't enterprises go direct to Amazon instead of paying a SaaS provider like you?

It's about economics not accounting.

Once you get into cost comparisons you've already lost. AWS is purpose built for an accounting narrative.

To illustrate what a dead end accounting is, accounting can't explain things like, "I spend money today to possibly make money more than 1 year in the future." That's basically every startup and accounting doesn't have a story for it.

Of course a free tier looks good accounting-wise. How does one "account" for lock-in though? If you can't figure that out you will not convince bean counters to consider alternatives.

And good luck teaching economics (as opposed to accounting) to bean counters.

Here are a few compelling explanations: the cheapest bid (i.e. free tier) is always the worst one. Some people are so addicted to accounting storytelling - as a way to organize their world, a whole philosophy - they are actually always convinced the cheapest bid is always the best one.

Another: AWS is so overpriced, the $50k you spend on developing against AWS services to use $500k of "free credits" will deliver less value than $50k you spend developing for a single vertically scaled beige box computer with simple ergonomics and running it.
$5k per week?
One common use of array indexing walks the array sequentially.

But hash tables are used here and there, also in loops.

Some people know them as "dictionaries" or "key/value stores".
There are two reasons this is a very bad idea:

1. Who is going to take it? The government is a very bad guardian. Everyone from the former East Block can attest (me including). This literally happened here after 1944 and we still suffer the consequences. The political class became all-powerful as they controlled all the resources.

2. This will make people a lot less entrepreneurial and as a result - everyone will become a lot poorer. This also happened in my country between 1944 and 1989. Even the Chinese realised this can't and won't work and are currently heading in the opposite direction.

Really, fantasy is a great thing, but you have to think about the consequences. The Western World is heading off a steep cliff with this kind of thinking.

In business writing, the Pyramid principle (a method formalized at McKinsey) is often used. It's the exact inverse of academic writing where you start with foundations and build up arguments.

Quote:

1. Start with the answer first.

2. Group and summarize your supporting arguments.

3. Logically order your supporting ideas.

The author also proposes combining this with the Rule of 3 -- not more than 3 items (arguments, ideas, bullets) in a group. I've used these techniques in real life and can vouch for their effectiveness.

> Prezi may revise these Prezi Business Terms and Conditions. If Prezi makes material revisions, Prezi will notify Customer, either through the user interface of the Presentation Services, in an email notification or through other reasonable means. Customer’s use of the Presentation Services after the date such revisions become effective will constitute consent to the revised Prezi Business Terms and Conditions.
The primary difference between computer science and mathematics proper is an overt concern for performance. Mathematical elegance and computational efficiency are not the same thing.

Haskell is a pretty awesome language, but it doesn't make it easy to incrementally optimize programs.
I have never seen a speed pedlec on a bike lane inside the city. I can't even remember the last time I saw one in the city generally speaking, as they don't seem to be extremely popular.

There used to be a way bigger problem with enforcing of scooters in the bike paths, though that is now way less of an issue, as far as I can tell. The only scooters legally allowed on bike lanes are the ones limited to 25kmph. I still find them dangerous, but considerably less so than how it was a few years back.
GDPR sets out a maximum retention time as you point out, but it also regards the act of "erasure or destruction" as a processing operation (Art 4(2)).

Recital 83 highlights the importance of preventing "accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration" of data, and Art 5(1) says "Personal data shall be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject (‘lawfulness, fairness and transparency’)"

I wouldn't want to be in Google's shoes in such a situation, as the principle of fairness and transparency would come to light, and I think it would be quite hard for them to argue against this.

You are also right that GDPR sets out principles of not retaining data for longer than is required (data protection by default), although all of these rights have to be balanced. If you could argue the deletion was not lawful, fair, or transparent, you would have a breach under Art 5(1).

The Art 20 right to portability would also be relevant here, around people's right to port a copy of their own data. Given the existence of these rights, a blanket "we nuked all your stuff" would deprive a person of reasonably exercising their rights, and I could envisage consequences for this.

It would be really interesting to see some of this get put to the test though - GDPR could become a way to force "human intervention" in some of these situations on the basis of not wanting exposure to unwanted legal risk.
The response to covid19 (e.g. lockdowns and mask mandates) have been very politicised. Other political topics on HN seem to follow similar vote patterns.

> I think it was in Austin, the crazy one where it snowed.

One my favorite memories of Dan is him going from venue to venue during this crazy "snowstorm" in Austin (it was less than an inch) trying to make sure that everyone got more drink tickets. And he would joke "If I don't come back from the next place send a pack of sled dogs after me" or something.

Out of all his duties he took giving extra drink tickets to attendees very seriously, that was his thing.
Portchain | Principal & Full stack Software Engineer | Copenhagen, Denmark | REMOTE (+/- 2hrs from CET) | Full time |

Requirements:

We're looking for a hands on Principal Software Engineer (>=50% coding) with 15 years minimum of professional experience in Software Engineering. Experience with all of the following technologies is required: Node.js, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL. Startup experience valued.

We're also hiring for a full stack Senior Software Engineer (5+ years of professional XP).

Our company:

Did you know that 90% of all goods globally are transported through a container, and the largest container vessels are 400 meters long and can transport 20,000 containers at a time? The container shipping industry is the back-bone and enabler of global trade, but it is struggling. At its core the industry is fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels globally are delayed coming into port, and key planning processes are done manually on a global scale. This leads to high operational costs, lost revenue, and unnecessarily high greenhouse gas emissions

Portchain is a 3 year old Danish container shipping startup devoted to help container carriers and terminals reduce operational complexity and optimize planning. We apply cutting-edge AI leading to both a better bottom line and less greenhouse gas emissions.

We are an international team of 15 people serving a global customer base and several of the largest companies in the industry. We have received $5M in funding to expand the team in order to serve our increasing customer traction.

Send an email to our Head of Engineering at jobs@portchain.com.

We're based in DK and looking for remote employees.
> counterfeit goods today.

counterfeit != stolen

At least counterfeited come with some kind of effort to produce the product in some similar manners. That come with it's own issues, the quality of the product is a big one.

> with BB I can return the item in a week if I don't like it, claim warranty, etc.

Yeah, never got theses issues over media files luckily. You could argue that a rebate high enough justify not being able to return an item. I'm sure plenty of van guy could allow you to return it too ;). I bought a 1060 on Kijiji and the guy told me that he would replace the item if it wasn't working. He got just as much incentive to do this than the van guy ;) hell maybe he even stole them, who knows.

> Meanwhile, I've gotten better service from private tracker staff than any streaming service.

Sure, when that's all you pay for, it's easy to offer great service. Believe me, there's a MUCH bigger part from Netflix price that go toward paying for content than from your private tracker. Not by choice... they need to pay for that content, someone has to pay for it.
If you’re emailing other people on ProtonMail, it fetches their keys from the (presumed trustworthy) server, and does end-to-end encryption.

In that mode it’d at least as secure as iMessage (before Apple backdoored it by adding automatic key and plaintext escrow).

Most emails use TLS, so they’re encrypted on the wire between servers.

ProtonMail then encrypts the plaintext as soon as they receive it, for storage. It stays encrypted from that point until it reaches the client.

For most mail it’s not e2e, but it does cut down on the opportunities for the mail to get seized by anyone who can compel the provider to turn over their records.
"I've read and agreed to terms and conditions" is probably the most common lie in the Internet.
The reason that the old '80s microcomputers were often plugged into TVs was that monitors were too expensive. Sharing the TV with every other device and person in the house was a necessary evil. TV-hogging is probably about as problematic now as it was then, while displays are much less expensive. So including a screen makes much more sense for a low-cost access-to-computing device these days.

You would be at the intersection of research and production code - taking our research roadmap and helping make it a reality. You will be helping our AI team take nascent research concepts and turn them into state of the art natural language generation. You will be constantly ingesting research papers, building prototypes, and later turning those prototypes into production code.

Our work almost exclusively involves very heavy deep learning (Transformers) and we primarily use PyTorch.

You will be working directly with our Founder/CEO (me!), who is leading the AI team, both as a manager and an individual contributor.

We sponsor all visas, including H1B and Green Card, and we pay market rates for SF/NYC despite being located in an area with a significantly cheaper cost of living.

Apply by emailing alex@cortx.com with "HN" in the subject line.
I'm glad that the former vice president's son can "call the big guy" to make arrangements that are beneficial to him and his family, and against the interests of the United States!

Don't be dense.
Oops. Yes. What I meant to say was that US granting agencies often require published results to be catalogued through PubMed. Not that PubMed only catalogues US-based research.
Both these attacks indicate a problem that doesn't have anything to do with using Signal. If the actor can replace apps on your specific phone, then you're pretty fucked no matter what app you use.

If the attack is on the android dev kit, but not on signal, then.. the attack isn't on Signal, it's on the dev kit. Unless Signal's using an unusual version of the dev kit, your risk exposure to this attack is equal to any other app that you would use instead of Signal.

I'm a little disappointed that the mouse appears optimized for lefties. The port is on the left side and the cord is short enough that it will result in restricted movement if moved to the right of the keyboard.
> Would you just set up multiple “origins” with each one pointing to a head maintainer’s computer (and named appropriately)?

That is exactly how Linus designed it to be used, and how it was used in the early days.
>I don't think it would cause me too much inconvenience to switch hands and I would hardly call it cruel.

As a left handed person, I'd recommend you give it a go for a few months, I think you'll find it a good bit harder than you might think - although you're probably not handwriting pages of text all day anymore, so whether it's a fair comparison I don't know.

I certainly found it quite tortuous to be forced to do things with my less (forgive the pun) dextrous hand: it takes constant conscious effort, like a wasteful background process. And that's not to mention the psychological effect of, as a child, being scolded because the most comfortable & natural way of doing something is "wrong".

Edit: Wikipedia has an interesting section on other consequences of forced conversion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_against_left-handed_peopl...

> (and thus download and store for personal use is legal in most countries).

That's a highly questionable statement. Certainly, most European countries do not have such a law in all circumstances, and it's dependent on if the personal use copy is made of an asset you are licensed to have permanent access to (which you aren't of a collectively licensed work) or a broadcast for timeshifted purpose (which an on-demand asset isn't).
