> So something it stopped doing over a decade ago makes it a "rogue state?"

It was doing it last year after the US unilaterally pulled out of the agreement [0]

> Your source actually doesn't outline any concrete Iranian involvement in Yemen, just some Saudi accusations prior to their invasion. Even then, the US participation alone dwarfs the alleged Iranian involvement.

Iran never out and out talks about who they support and how. Note that Qasem Soleimeini was killed in Iraq. The point being the Iran meddles in their neighbors affairs.

> These are the two main issues they're scapegoated for, so this statement is a bit confusing.

No, they're scapegoated as being terrorism funders/stronghold or attackers of "freedom" (whatever that means). When they're called out for actually doing something that the international community frowns upon that's not scapegoating.

But they decreased the batter size on the iPhone 12 due to power efficiency gains, so battery life is approximately the same unfortunately.
Do you have thoughts on implementing the distributed search?

I'm thinking about playing around with this in my spare time, but that part seems the hardest to do.
Not everyone needs HTTPS, in spite of what the HN mantra says.

Some websites are the equivalents of billboards.

The cost is dependence on a central authority that can make your site inaccessible in a whim.
I don't have HTTPS on my site (I do when people download files, on files.davisr.me, but not on my www).
Corporate Crime and Punishment: The Crisis of Underenforcement
Do any down voters want to step up and say they think the Trump Administration has competently handled the pandemic?

It's obvious to anyone willing to look at the facts, and to be honest with themselves, that this administration has done a terrible, terrible job of responding to the pandemic which has probably caused the unnecessary deaths of a lot of people.

And that's not a partisan thing to say. Or rather, it shouldn't be ...
Of course.

I was fantasizing some form of active control, without the speed demand of in-atmosphere adaptive optics. This might be needed anyway after micrometeoroid damage.
That’s how I understand it, yes. I’m not into hardware either, going by engineering side of the event. In the announcement, there some parts shot at the lab/studio, where the engineers explain the chip. Ignore the marketing people with their unlabelled graphs, the engineers explain it well.

But yes, they’re basically saying because this is “unified memory”, there’s no copying. No RAM copies between systems on the SoC, no copies between RAM and VRAM, etc. because the chips are working together, they put stuff on the RAM in formats they can all understand, and just work off that.
Doctors, lawyers, psychologists, teachers grading papers--lots of instances where people can't share their data with third parties.
Ask HN: Great formulas for automatically generated usernames?
A lot of platforms and kids games use automatically generated user names to differentiate users and give a way for users to reference each other (e.g. Intercom uses this to identify chat users while they're anonymous. "Amber Pipe" or "Violet Scissors")

I think the main considerations are:
1) many combinations
2) fun and/or memorable for users
The US tells the world that it subscribes to a 1-China policy (taiwan and others are recognized as part of China in theory) but militarily defends it as an ally against China. Taiwan does not participate in the CCP directly.
Any experiences with self-hosted Mautic?
I'd say the bigger nail in the coffin was, ironically, Microsoft's level of security/sandboxing.

tl;dr - Snapchat and a lot of other 'killer apps' never were written for the platform, and at least some of that was because the apps on Android/iOS did things Microsoft wouldn't let you (I think tracking when the user took a screenshot was one)
Because political discussions (except a few narrow events) are not encourage on HN, it goes against the spirit of the site AFAIK.
Going by the engineering explanations in the announcement video. See the segments shot in the “lab” set. They’re actually pretty proud of this and are explaining the optimisations quite candidly.
I think it's kinda cute (but mostly sickening) that far left ideologues and far right ideologues can at least come together and agree that the Civil War was not actually about slavery (despite every fact contradicting that view).
For Google Cast most likely. Local discovery of Cast recipients. Casting to your TV etc is a popular feature
Its a sudden visceral awareness that you were a host for the DNA thats been passed down from millions of people that came before.

The previous, relatively selfish person you used to be, almost immediately upon first seeing them, now only exists to protect this vulnerable life that's completely dependent on you.
1981 through ~1996, I used Forth to build expert systems and, eventually, a discovery system modeled after Doug Lenat's Eurisko coupled with Ken Forbus' QP Theory. That platform used a Lisp-like codebase supplied by Bill Dress. The system was used to research and defend a dissertation on polymer curing - process control; a taxonomic knowledge base could be built with a simple constrained natural language interface - that project found its way into an honors biology class for exploring immune response to various insults.
It was written on an ancient Mac with UI powered from Pascal.
What do I think about Forth? I will agree with anyone who tells you that Forth is more a way of thinking, far less a programming language. Charles Moore was chock full of wisdom he would toss around; things like "if you can, let the compiler do the work". That was one of the neat features: you could jump out of code and directly into the compiler to compute things.
I have moments when, now that we are not saddled with the limitations of 8-bit CPUs, I think it would be fun to dust off my program and bring it up on a large memory system. Alas, that codebase is locked up on a truly ancient cartridge disk for which no drivers exist anymore.
My mind is very good at remembering but it's not particularly quick on the uptake. It may take minutes, hours or days but eventually there will be a "ka-ching" sound and a card will appear in the slot with the desired answer. I've learned to relax and let it do its work...
> the interference is propaganda, not electoral fraud

So what do you call an educated, affluent, city-inhabiting social class that makes up the media industry in the US that was all too ready to believe and report on landslide predictions in favor of Biden for the entire election season?

IMO that qualifies as "election influence" too, and your splitting hairs about electoral fraud/integrity/propaganda is a weird way to pivot around the issue that the character of the narrative has changed wildly.

Democrats in general changed their tune (as Republicans do all the time as well).
That's not really how it works with drug prices in the US. I don't know exactly how it works behind the scenes, but from the pharmacy perspective, it's basically like this:

The "sticker price" of a drug is called the "usual and customary price" (U&C). This is supposed to be what you charge for a drug, and is generally based on the "average wholesale price" (AWP) of the drug plus a dispensing fee to cover other costs. The AWP, however, may or may not (usually not in the case of generic drugs) be related to the actual acquisition cost of the drug. It tends to be substantially higher.

The pharmacy bills its U&C price to the insurance company (or, more often, a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) contracted by the insurance company), and the insurance company tells you what it will actually pay you—this can be negative—and how much to charge the patient. Usually the pharmacy gets paid whatever the insurance company/PBM thinks it should cost to fill the prescription, and the patient pays a standard copay/coinsurance. If the patient has a large deductible or doesn't have insurance, this is where GoodRx et al. come in. They act as a PBM, allowing the patient to pay a price lower than the U&C while pocketing ~$5 or so of the "copay" for themselves (plus whatever data they get). Often independent pharmacies will just cut out the middle man and give you a better cash price (although this may violate their PBM contracts), but the big chains will need the coupon.

Depending on the difference between the AWP and the actual acquisition cost of the drug(s), this can be a substantial savings for cash patients or people with large deductibles.
The impression I got was that it was a lot slower than a 30% performance hit, but perhaps the Qualcomm CPU is that much slower? If so, it really begs the question—Why bother making a tablet-laptop thing which performs so poorly?

This reads like a Babylon Bee satire of a useful idiot millennial journalist [1].

“We need more female genocidal tyrants!”

[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot
Yes, that's what I intended to convey.
I hired two folks locally, then moved to an island thousands of miles away, then hired an ML and data science team of 3 more folks. My team also has to work in a mixed group where a few folks were hired by another, very senior manager. He knows how to hire. The guy is a legend.

Those hires I made from far away were much more carefully thought out and turned out to be much stronger. Equivalent to the ones the senior guy was hiring, if not stronger. I think it's because I couldn't delude myself into thinking "They're fine, I don't need to waste time interviewing. I can just groom them, get them to where they need to be." I had to, absolutely, consider these people as full time remote workers, several time zones away. They had to be crack engineers and crack communicators. And I had to enforce those standards from the get go.

Watching everyone else go through the shift to remote work was fascinating. The pandemic caused us to change nothing.
What really matters is not how "open" the device is, but the open-ness of its data format, which is where rM epically fails.

It doesn't matter if a gadget is hackable if it locks you into a proprietary file format and doesn't have good interoperability. Exporting PDFs just doesn't cut it; the point of keeping your notes digital is being able to (a) maintain them as living documents and (b) use them on hardware of your choice.

Buying an Android-based device like Onyx Note Air gives you an option to use apps like Xournal/Xournal++ (best-in-class for handwritten notes, but unfortunately still in alpha on the mobile), or Stylus Labs' Write. This means that your notes are available, in their original form, on virtually any platform, in an open format. This is way, way more important than being able to root or ssh your gadget du jour.
Keeping connection with the older generations and learning from them is important. But I don't think, nuclear families are about denying that. It's more about having enough space and freedom to see each other when you want it, but keeping off each other's backs and not letting the differences between the generations ruin your relations.

I've grown up in a typical 3-generational Russian family sharing a rather small apartment, and I can tell you, it gets on your nerves when the grandparents want to watch TV at maximum volume, while the parent is trying to catch some sleep debt and the kid (me) is doing homework in the same room. That was one of the main reasons why I decided to move to the West where having enough private space was considered to be a basic and unquestionable necessity.

Please, don't romanticize it. If our economy is changing in a way where the corporations are getting richer and richer, while the rank-and-file employees are forced to live with their parents forever and will never afford to move out, it's not cool at all. It's a sign of very serious economic troubles and we need to focus on solving them instead of trying to think of the changes in a positive way, and then wondering why is everyone depressed.
This is a strawman argument. I specifically stated that the newborns died as a result of lockdown restrictions. This is objectively true. Whether they were physically prevented or not is irrelevant (and doesn't make reverse the damage to the families).

For whatever reason, the sheer disorganisation and lack of communication resulted in death.

You erroneously stated that I claimed they died as a result of being denied entry to the state, a claim I never made. Would they have died with zero travel restrictions? Very likely not.

Functionally, being denied entry to the state and one side not bothering to even try to enter them into the state is a distinction without a difference (either way, they die).
Yeah, that’s partly true. Applications that allocate 1000GB will need to get what they ask for. No getting around bad applications. The benefits are more in terms of lower level systems communicating by sharing memory instead of sharing memory by communicating, which is always faster and needs less memory, but needs full trust and integration.
This is well known unfortunately. People tend to favour speeds instead of security.
That sounds like the system's ideal - but is that how most people become, say, deputy state leaders? Or can you pay your way in, advance through nepotism, or blackmailing, or mutual corruption, etc?
> To find great remote employees, prioritize candidates with strong writing skills

I strongly agree! Looks like many other commenters agree too.

how do I find companies that are hiring and agree with this statement?

I've had a hard time finding those companies. I've had a slew of interviews recently, and none of them asked about my extensive online writing. None of them seemed to have clicked through to my website.

Are any of you on teams that really celebrate good writing, and would weigh my blog [0] at least as much as a technical challenge?

[0] https://josh.works/blog
No, I haven’t read this one, maybe it’s worth a try. The issue is, even when you are at a stage where you realize what works and what doesn’t, you still wouldn’t know what to write exactly. The only option you have is to write up sentences, then check whether you made a mistake and, if so, write up a different sentence and reiterate. I would need a book which would tell me how to construct sentences which are in accordance with all the rules and concepts. But, it doesn’t seem to be possible to write such a book, since writing really is an art. After all, there also isn’t any book which teaches you how to paint like Da Vinci, but only those which tell you which rules you can apply to his paintings.
>And unlike bombers and tactical missile launchers, there's no ethical issues, because this saves civilians.

Tell it to sanctions against Iran which blocked acquisition of the S-400 anti-aircraft system. Stronger defense capabilities can totally change balance of power. This is why Russia is very nervous (and rightfully so) about deployment of the US air-defense systems in Europe, since strengthening of defensive capabilities over a certain threshold can transform preemptive nuclear strike against it from incredible stupidity to just a difficult decision.

If you don't like id documents as a comparison despite certificates literally being identity documents, you could compare it to business licenses instead.

The reason that food has imprecise expiry dates is because we don't know when food will actually go bad. We do know how it is distributed, so we make a guess and err a couple standard deviations on the side of caution. However, we know precisely when a certificate will expire. The standard deviation for a certificate expiring (ignoring clockskew) is 0. If we gave 5 standard deviations of warning time on a certificate, it would still be 0 warning.

The average age of a congressperson is ~60 years old. So the average congress person was born in 1960. Our current crop of congress people were raised in the 60s, by WWII veterans. Even if you think society underwent changes and is far more gender equitable now than it was in 1960, you wouldn't expect to see that start to take effect in top level leadership until much later. It's the same reason why you wouldn't expect to see a woman or a black person on the supreme court 15 years after women or blacks were allowed to become lawyers.

On this note, can someone suggest good practical resources to learn how to improve writing skills?
The Blizzard I know (from when I was playing a lot more video games) has never been releasing a lot of games. Between 2000 and 2010, they released only four games: Diablo II, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, World of Warcraft and StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. I'm sure even today's Blizzard can somehow manage to release four games between 2020 and 2030, although I doubt they will have as strong an impact as these four.

A single core being able to fully saturate LPDDR4X bandwidth seems pretty advantageous.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste...

“One aspect we’ve never really had the opportunity to test is exactly how good Apple’s cores are in terms of memory bandwidth. Inside of the M1, the results are ground-breaking: A single Firestorm achieves memory reads up to around 58GB/s, with memory writes coming in at 33-36GB/s. Most importantly, memory copies land in at 60 to 62GB/s depending if you’re using scalar or vector instructions. The fact that a single Firestorm core can almost saturate the memory controllers is astounding and something we’ve never seen in a design before.”
I'm not personally a rust zealot, but I know that rust builds on LLVM and therefore benefits from some of that very same engineering effort that was built to optimize C and C++.
Domains can be seized too, nothing is foolproof.
This is a slight aside, but could someone more familiar with the field than me explain what the Neural Engine is for? Does any software currently use it, or is it something that Apple are trying to push? Is it designed to build ML models, or to apply them to data?

And perhaps more basically, what for? How much machine learning is done on user machines, as opposed to renting some cloud time? What are they anticipating will be done?

I ask these questions in genuine curiousity, I assume I'm missing something but this just seems like a rather wild divergence from what (very little) I knew of the ML field.
And the fact that qualcomm seems to be lagging behind apple's SoC.
I am not sure that you mean by "actual combat conditions", but Russia quite regularly tests its ICBMs by launching them to the Kura test range [0] in Kamchatka. Tests usually have distance of 5-6 thousand kilometers and often include tests of MIRVs [1] with mass-equivalents of nuclear warheads.

It’s big where I work, too - I’m very into the little slack (there might be a teams one?) plug-in, where you can just message people “/zoom” and it instantly makes a meeting with whoever’s in the chat.

It makes little 5-minute meetings for debugging or clarification super painless, which means we do more of them, which is huge for the team being on the same page.
to be clear, I don't speak Arabic - I'm merely intrigued by etymology.

I think they are referring to "إنسان" or "Insaan" which has the root of nisyah which means "to forget".

My understanding is that this isn't the common word for person, which would be "شخص" or shakhs. However that also doesn't originate from the word for earth. What word are you referring too?

I'd love for an arabic speaker to chime in!
