You've endorsed the article writer's lament as well. The decline of personal sites is worrisome and everyone getting silo'ed into megacorps is not a healthy alternative. Even if most social media users are okay with it, the same way that most humans are okay with increasing the use of fossil fuels or forest products. The average of humanity is unable to see beyond a short-range horizon, and in this case the tech community has failed to present attractive alternatives that might have helped slow the onslaught of corporate Internet takeover, even though stuff like Krita prove the community is capable, if only there was sufficient motivation and organisation. But somehow this area has languished.

So you think you only deserve the right to live if you can resist me murdering you? What if you become crippled? You cannot resist me, armed or not. Therefore you are an old-time farm animal, mine to kill whenever I want.

I think that's an unhealthy stance to take towards life.
You could flip it around and ask - given that phone chips are approaching desktop level performance, how native do you need to go? We're already seeing native apps become less "native". Using high level frameworks that provide a common core between platforms is pretty standard nowadays.

IMO the biggest driver already is and will be app store/platform policies. Fundamental hardware constraints are secondary.
I would expect there would be better ROI in funding the development of open source EDA tools. This is already ongoing and the current trade conflict will likely accelerate it.

Bananas: +Health+Benefits,+Tips,+&+Risks+Factor+|+Health+Lines
Article seems to be from 4 months ago and there doesn't seem to be much follow up in the mainstream press.
The hardware already exists - it's the iPad Pro 12.9 inch with a Magic Keyboard.

There is very little difference in hardware:

* RAM - 6GB (iPad) vs 8GB base (MacBook Air), although memory chips are tiny and Android phones have 12gb, so I do not see there being a significant limit here.

* Processor - Approximately the same (M1 is basically the A14).

* Connectivity - Both have WiFi only as base, iPad offers 4G.

* Disk size - 128 GB base with options up to 1TB (iPad) vs 256 gb Base with options up to 1 TB (MacBook Air)

* Battery - 10,000 mAh (iPad Pro), and I cannot find the battery of the latest Mac Air but previous models have had 5,500 mah.

So we aren't talking huge differences in spec. In fact it seems that the iPad can fit more in - probably because it doesn't need to include a keyboard which undoubtedly is responsible for a lot of the thickness.

> Building reliable clip/unclip connections would be an interesting problem.

Apple has already solved this for iPad - the Magic Keyboard is brilliant (although not cheap!). Additionally an iPad + Magic Keyboard is actually somewhat thicker than a Macbook pro, which highlights why the Macbook Air is probably thicker than the base iPad (rather than spec).
IMO you can't automatically go from "we have a latency requirement" to "public cloud is out of the question". It depends on what latency requirement. If you can eat an intermittent delay of 20ms, AWS, to me still seems fine, you just need to plan ahead in terms of what resources you rent there. Between that, and the multiple seconds a GC pause could cost you, there is still a space where GC optimization on AWS would make sense. But if you're in HFT and target micro- or even nanosecond optimizations, you sure don't wanna run anything in that critical path on any public cloud.
> But to think that we know anything about anything is frankly pure arrogance.

It would be arrogant to conflate a model and the subject being modeled, but we have some pretty successful models for physical reality, and you won't bring me to say we don't know anything about it.

the article seems to skip over the entire field of colour science. there is a colour space for the human eye. it's called LMS. there is also a colour space, derived from it, called CIEXYZ. it's the colour space that all ICC profiles are specified in. they are RGB-like in nature and correspond to the three types of cone cells in the human eye. there are other colour spaces that derive from it, such as CIELab and CIELuv, which are luma-chroma versions of XYZ.

Interview with Demis Hassabis of DeepMind
Ask HN: Where to host a research blog with code, latex, images and markdown?
I want to keep a blog for my research in natural language processing with neural networks, so I need code highlighting, images, Latex, etc. It would be perfect if it was possible to just use markdown files for import and export of blog entries, and being able to host it myself.
I write C++ for now almost 30 years, and always for the workloads where the cost of allocations was plainly visible, especially in the critical parts of the applications. So I have never stopped writing "non idiomatic" C++, at least from the point of view of typical language lawyers (and C++ attracted them a lot through the years). And I'm surely not the only one: there were different environments where it was recognized, through the times, first, that creating and destroying much objects was very bad, and later, with the growth of the C++ standard library, that even not everything in the C++ standard library should be treated the same, and that are better solutions than what's already available, and that the third party libraries are often bringing even more potential danger.

Depending on the goal, one has to be very careful when choosing what one uses. The good side is, C++ kept its C features: if I'm deciding how I'll do something, I don't have to follow the rules of the "language lawyers." I can do my work producing what is measurably efficient. And compiler can still help me avoiding some types of errors -- others can anyway be discovered only with testing (and additional tools). At the end, knowing good what one wants is the most important aspect of the whole endeavor.
I'm not a lawyer, and I'm especially not a British lawyer, but I do have an Athletic subscription. The article discusses a lawsuit on behalf of Primer League and mostly lower league soccer players in England around their "personal data."

> More than 400 current and former players have signed up to pursue gaming, betting and data-processing companies who utilise their personal statistics without consent or compensation.

As others have said, at least in the states, facts are not copyrightable. TA also states the lawsuit isn't going about this as part of image rights for the players, but doesn't say exactly what the argument will be. It makes it seem this is driven by lower league players who obviously don't have as lucrative careers.

Again IANAL but I don't see how if I go to a game and compile statistics myself how that's a breach of the players' data. Maybe if the club had a contact when I bought the ticket, but then I would think the players would need an agreement with the clubs to make that clear, because I'm not buying the ticket from the player I'm buying it from the club. Same with TV rights, that's league, club, and TV station rights, not player rights.
If word of mouth is important, it is usually better to have a dot-com web address. IMO, the two additional rules are to make it memorable and make sure people can easily spell it. Other than that, don't obsess over a descriptive name.

I'm the target market for the MacPad Pro.

I'm a software developer, and for the past year or so I've been using a Microsoft Surface Go as my primary development machine. I don't need a desktop (I'm not doing any ML that would require a GPU), and I want to go back to Mac (OSX is way better than Windows, easier to install software, more intuitive, JustWorks(TM), etc.) but there's simply no equivalent offering. I can't use an iPad for development (it's not actually a computer), so the only alternative is a MacBook (Air / Pro), which is however way less portable than a tablet.

The addressable market is tiny though so I don't expect this to change anytime soon.

Telegraphs charged by the word, a lot

"In 1860, for example, a ten-word telegram sent from New York to New Orleans cost $2.70 (about $65 in 2012 currency). When the transcontinental telegraph opened, the cost was $7.40 for ten words (about $210), while a ten word transatlantic message to England cost $100 (about $2,600)."

That's why in those old movies and plays everyone always looked dreadfully concerned about making sure someone got their telegraph message, that thing was pricey.
Become stupid temporarily, or permanently due to brain damage? If the latter, that's a very strong claim.

No, they can't. The user has either failed to complete setting things up, or forgot to change the name servers to something else after removing it. It's a configuration issue created by the user.

Some TLDs check for this, they won't transfer a domain to new name servers unless they already respond as authoritative name servers for that domain.

The argument is that someone else could set up a zone before you. But there can't be duplicate zones, and the user should create this zone before changing the name servers. There are mitigation strategies that have already been discussed, but other than being a Nice Thing (tm) and likely lowering the volume of support tickets I don't see how this is the providers fault. You set the name servers before checking that you had control over said name servers, or forgot to change them when moving away.
Please just put macOS on an iPad with a larger screen size. It would be the Apple equivalent of the Microsoft Surface, one which I was initially excited about, but which Microsoft hasn't updated in design since the Surface Pro 3 days.

macOS is already moving towards touch, if you notice the pattern of bigger icons, more space between buttons, and larger padding. It's clear that macOS and iPadOS will converge. You can already run iPhone and iPad apps on M1 now. You could even have something like the Magic keyboard having its own battery like the Surface Book, and instead of the Book's docking mechanism, with the Magic Keyboard you could wirelessly charge from the keyboard to the iPad with the iPhone 12's new wireless charging mechanism.

Then I could just buy one device rather than two. But I suspect Apple wouldn't like that very much, which is why we continue to see both macOS and iPadOS simultaneously. However, Jobs said to not fear cannibalizing your own product, because if you don't, someone else will.

3. 2MB is only the Wasm version of Blazor. You don’t have to use that version if it doesn’t fit your use case.
They certainly wouldn't want to scare away developers, others have suffered greatly due to neglecting them and developers seems to be getting rarer. You always want the enthusiasts and of course they buy new hardware to look for ways how they can make it work for them. Many devs also have a high income so that price isn't as important anymore.

Do you collect metrics on how many people end up waiting for the PoW and share that with the admins?

In all, this sounds really promising though. I’d venture that most spammers already have higher end machines than end-users to solve existing captchas.

I’d probably approach this with a different strategy. I’d send an encrypted time stamp as the nonce. On the client, I’d first do a few easy PoW tasks and estimate the PoW difficulty for the given machine that would take at least X seconds to do. Then, send the PoW, the encrypted time stamp, and difficulty to the backend. If it’s been shorter than X (with a margin of error), or the PoW is wrong, it’s not valid.

In this scheme, it doesn’t matter how powerful the device is, a core is going to do some work for X seconds or at least be throttled by time.
I think there's a real difference though when the cost is "baked in" via taxes or something else. If a doctor's visit has the potential to cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars, unless something is really serious, chances are you're going to avoid going.

In a system where costs are paid through taxes, the disincentive to see a doctor is eliminated. That maybe has some negative effects (going to urgent care for relatively minor problems), but I think it has real benefits in terms of preventative care.

In terms of a countries overall finances, it balances out (not entirely - see my previous point), but in terms of affect on behaviour it has a huge effect (in addition to balancing out the burden that I mentioned before).
Having lived in China and visited Japan on a number of occasion, my feeling is that it would be more difficult to live in Japan than in China as a Westerner.

I think that many people overestimate the impact of living under China's "autocratic regime" has on daily life. Especially if you're a Westerner there is no difference.

I have always felt that Japanese culture and society were more difficult to adapt to. China is much less rigid.

Obviously it's still a big cultural and linguistic change.

How fear and disgust drive consumer behavior
There's a lot more to if if you read it. He says the fact that we tend to place the burden on the positive side is because it's essentially impossible to prove the negative, for a lot of cases.

If every claim and it's negative need to be proven, how do you think we proceed? Add in that you can formulate the negative without using standard polarity flippers like "not" and "never". We have to start somewhere, and generally the guy who says "God exists" is the guy who has to make the case. The one who says "There's no god" might need to explain what he means, but he doesn't need to go get a bunch of evidence. I doubt that you disagree with that example.

The question of which is the positive claim arises because it's possible with some fancy footwork to act like you're not saying "God Exists". This is what needed to be picked apart, or not, in the case of the economic argument at the top of the thread.

> I might add: your selective quoting

I didn't quote anything, I referenced the entirety. Part of the point of that is so we avoid picking out a headline and then claim to be finished.

But the fact remains, in school we don't spend much time thinking about all those critical thinking skills. If we at least tried it, kids would be better at it. Much like physical training, it's something that should be brought to our attention in school but needs to be maintained.
The web used to have parity between creation of content and consumption when desktop access was the way the world surfed the web. Since smartphones took over, the web has been about consumption of media, requiring most contribution to be through apps. What sadist would edit HTML on a phone?
We on this forum complain to Apple on a daily basis. Nothing ever happens. I don't see evidence that Apple's decision making is affected by what their users think. It took them three years to fix the keyboards even when they were objectively broken.

Apple doesn't want side loading because it would mess up their revenue stream. Not because they care about their customers. Look at the lengths they are going to avoid USB-C on the iPhone, a technology they pioneered, just to protect their revenue stream.

Because if you have a better product that nobody can compete with you can raise your margin and solidify/expand your market position.

You are describing a strategy that normally leads to long term market loss - "Why should we stream movies to the TV? That would only be cannibalising our excellent DVD rental business".
The epiphany I experienced with rebasing is that this is an incorrect visualisation of the workflow. It's not like you create a separate branch and work independent of master. It's more like working on a kind of local pre-release ahead of master.

You work on the development/pre-release, then consolidate by cherry-picking or otherwise, leaving all the todo's, spinoffs, experimental, personal notes in the pre-release. Like a reptile shedding its skin.
There's more to life than money.

The USA offers higher quality of life and has a cosmopolitan, multicultural society. I live in the Netherlands, where I enjoy an extremely high quality of life, get access to diverse cultural programs, and get to meet interesting individuals from every corner of the earth who have come to pursue art, technology, and science here. Dutch tech salaries aren't the highest, but I'm living a great life. Dutch and American societies are open-minded and immigrant-oriented: both readily and easily assimilate millions of immigrants.

During uni, I did an exchange study in Beijing and Shanghai. I'm open to working a short gig in China, but I would never settle down there. Chinese cities have thin veneers of modernity and glitz, but they are polluted, offer poor quality of life, and—aside from small expat circles—are monocultural from a global viewpoint. I am thoroughly convinced that China lacks the West's ability to draw, retain, and assimilate foreign talent en masse.

My only personal experience in a British hospital was fine. They saw me promptly, the treatment was fine, the free meal was typically British.

I've been twice to Danish hospitals, and I think the experience is very comparable. The staff in Copenhagen seemed kinder (a bit more time to reassure the patient etc) but otherwise there wasn't much difference.

I trust both countries in 2015, and Denmark in 2020. I don't know what's happened in Britain since 2015. My family aren't complaining (at least, no more than the usual British amount), but the British people keep voting against their interests.
