It could also help proliferate hacking bank accounts and identity theft. People cannot be trusted with computers. They install everything that crosses their path. History has shown that, and has shown that that is a great way to get your malware onto someone's machine. The App Store, whatever you may think of the pricing, successfully prevents that, and it should not be taken away in the name of fake liberty, or someone's commercial interest.

Hostels have always been cheap. And most of the time, AirBnB is more expensive than a hotel when you include their "cleaning fee". It only works if you have a large party or you're staying someplace a while
Cool, that's good to know, thanks. What's your background on this that makes you qualified to answer with certainty? Also what are political reasons for no phones on flights?
There is economic theory and research supporting some of this under label “modern monetary theory” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Monetary_Theory)*

My fundamental problem with the whole concept is that it is predicated on the idea that a nation is able to borrow in its own currency. If that is not true, seriously bad consequences (like hyper inflation) occur. Proponents say “well the US can borrow in its own currency, we don’t have to worry about that”. Real problem is that without monetary discipline, there eventually does becomes a point where other countries DO stop using your currency as a reserve currency, and they do stop being willing to make loans in your currency. And that point is not well known. And is most likely to happen when your country is already in crisis. So formally relying on printing money to pay for things remains a hugely risky endeavor in my mind.

* I’ll note that the limited proponents of modern monetary theory I’ve heard of do not advocate for the elimination of taxes or unlimited printing or money. Thier argument is that the deficit is meaningless of itself, we should reduce the deficit (via taxation) if inflation has gone outside a target range and increase the deficit if it has gone under the target range.
Apple customers surrender their phones, and experiences, to Apple's custody. That walled garden is discussed every day here.

But I wonder how much 'normal' Apple consumers realize how shoddy some of that custody really is.

I bet your customers blamed you for that bug, not Apple?

The seeking of a (potentially plausible) search warrant by the state to silence a publisher that is publishing things the state doesn't want published is the issue here, not the relative merits of the search warrant itself.

The state was using this as retaliation, not to further the investigation of a crime. That's just the cover story. Even if they make the hacking charges stick, this isn't about hacking at all, it's about publishing.

It's astounding to me to see people regurgitating unsubstantiated cop claims with no evidence.
I wanted an electric car, to get away from having to buy gas. The rotary engine is the most interesting thing about the RX-8, but without it it's still an overall pretty good car, and there's a surplus of used RX-8s out there with about 100,000 miles that need an apex seal replacement at the least, which the owners are willing to unload very cheaply.

I could have looked for an RX-7, but those seem to be a lot more expensive and harder to find, and besides I like the look of the RX-8. I also wanted modern safety features and a vehicle that's relatively new. The RX-7 is about 200 pounds lighter, but it's also a 2-seater so less room to haul stuff. (Mazda also made a rotary pickup which would also be an awesome conversion, but those are much rarer.)

Really, the main decision point for me was whether to get an RX-8, or go with a Miata, which is about a thousand pounds lighter. In some ways, the Miata might have been a better choice, but I live in a rainy climate and sometimes want to transport large objects. Also, used Miatas tend to be either thirty years old or expensive, so I went with the RX-8.

As for what I'll do with it? Mostly just use it to get around town, like any other car. I've never owned anything that one could plausibly describe as a "sports car", and I don't know if I'll do any stereotypical sports car things like drive it up and down windy roads or take it to a track. It should at least perform decently. The motor I'm putting in it is about 120 HP, which is a lot less than the 230 or so HP that the rotary could put out, but the torque is about the same and I get full torque from 0 rpm. I'm keeping the 6-speed and clutch, so that should go a long way towards not needing a super-powerful motor.

The hard part of the project so far has been building the battery enclosures for about 450 pounds of LiFePO4 cells, a little over half of which go in the engine compartment, and the rest go under the car where the gas tank was. It'll be a little heavier and probably have the weight a little forward of where it was originally, but it should be at least close.

Tl;dr: RX-8s are really cheap if you don't need a working engine, and if you're going to convert a sedan you might as well go with something with something more fun than a Toyota Corolla or whatever.
Nope, that's pretty much all there is.

The space of all differentiable linear functions is a vector space, and the derivative is a linear operator on that space (so functions and derivatives follow most of the same rules as vectors and matrices). If D is the derivative operator and x is a function of t, the equation x''=x can be written as D^2 * x = x, or 0 = (D^2 - I)x = (D + I)(D - I)x. The dimension of the kernel of (D - I) is 1, and so is the dimension of the kernel of (D + I). So the space of solutions to the original problem has dimension 0, 1, or 2. But you can find two solutions, namely cos(i * t) and sin(i * t). Those solutions are linearly independent, so they span 2 dimensions. So all solutions are going to be of the form A * cos(i * t) + B * sin(i * t). The case for x''=ax is similar.
It’s still common practice to place the pre-print online, either before or during article submission. Journals and conferences usually ask the reviewers to not explicitly look up the paper online. (Honor code. Usually works, sometimes doesn’t, but definitely does seem to decrease the amount of silly bashing that sometimes happens when authors are clearly known.)
>Why did she delay officers executing a legally granted search warrant for twenty minutes, hanging up on them and refusing to answer the door?

I can think of several reasonable reasons why she might do so:

1. To contact the court WRT the validity of such a search warrant;

2. To contact an attorney to obtain legal advice WRT how to respond to an attempt to enter and search her home;

3. To remove her small children (who obviously have no involvement) and protect them from the police;

4. To put on appropriate clothing so as to be fully dressed when police enter her home.

I'm sure there are a myriad of other reasonable reasons she might have delayed answering her door.

I don't know if any or all of the above (or any other) reasons are relevant, but it seems to me that such a delay doesn't imply wrongdoing on her part.

Curious: Why not sign up for a web hosting provider that provides email as well? Dreamhost right now has a discount for $4/mo if you sign up for one year. Otherwise it's $9/mo in general. You get unlimited user email accounts. And you get web hosting should you ever want it.

Their email interface may not be great, but I download using IMAP anyway. And you could install your own preferred web interface on the shared hosting you'll have.
Often cook, love cooking but don't cook every day. Most days if a meal is consumed at home it's either cold (salads, something with-or-on bread), really quick (soups), or zero-prep (fruit or nuts).

Breakfast is usually at a nearby hotel which covers 2/3 daily meals and associated coffee. Got a deal going so executable at less than walk-in expense, with zero lock-in (turn up or nay), transferable so also good for meetings on occasion. Heaps of fresh fruit, bit of protein, veg, coffee. Would be hard to match for cost let alone time at home.

My view is to look at quality food like insurance and invest in your health, or do the maths on the time. It's worth it.
Note that the "homeless" people in Finland are mainly people who refuse to accept support from the social welfare, this is because they prefer to get drunk instead of spending it on food and rent. The social welfare eventually suggests a different system for such people: pay the rent for them and give a special card that can be used for anything except alcohol and cigarette. If the people keep refusing that other option, then they went homeless on their own accord and keep spending the welfare on alcohol and living on the streets. Such people are very rare in Finland in reality however, but they do exist.

There is also one woman [1] who for whatever reason chooses to live homeless with bunch of luggage. She doesn't drink at all, and keeps moving from town to town with all her luggage, by walking.

UUID Readable V2.0

Last time I posted this on HN, you guys critiqued and appreciated this library. This helped me to build on the next features, Readable UUID now has an Inverse which returns UUID given an Readable UUID. Additionally, now you generate a small 32 bit human id like “11 green birds happily buzzed” and later on, you can verify this short readable against original UUID. Plus some of you asked about entropy reduction in Readable UUID, I have added a section in the README called “How it works?” and proved how it's 128 bit and no entropy is lost.

Thanks, Debdut

You need to elaborate now because I don't understand what you're saying? What was their assessment? What is the trap?

I just asked how he's getting his money. Then I explained how other people who ran a similar project got their money. Then I explained how there's no real harm in explaining where money comes from, because managing money is a skill in itself which few people possess.

Nevermind. Maybe Xeno was just joking when he said OST would be his "full time job" and he'd pay his instructors 100k every year. Someone would have come up with a decent answer by now if OST was a serious enterprise. As it is, I'll check back in a year and see how they're doing.
That's a poor example. I think a closer comparison is that the house doesn't have transparent glass but rather sensors that can tell which room you're in, how much time you spend in a room etc. People may be fine with that in exchange for living for free in a nice house vs. living in a rundown shack without tracking.

If she did do it, logged on to a work system after being fired to spam a communications system encouraging people to blow whistles... I guess I don’t really care if the motivation to prosecute is political. That’s a pretty clear cut case of a crime being committed.

The defense about the justification for the warrant being dubious is just false. Unless somebody wants to claim the evidence is fabricated, don’t go searching for “experts” to come up with nonsensical refutations.
Wow, the low entropy version actually makes so much sense.
Hi, I'm Jim (@JimLarson), another CEL maintainer. Yes, the full language spec is more clear about the performance limits, and macros can easily result in exponential time or space complexity. The original claim could be for either the macro version or the equivalent expanded version, e.g. "[true, false].exists(v1, [true, false].exists(v2, ... [true, false].exists(vN, (v1 || !v2 || v3) && (v2 || v3 || !v4) && ...)...))", etc. But it doesn't require much power in the language to express this kind of "solver" - there's still no general recursion.

The point is why on earth would you send essentially a SWAT team for such a warrant. And no, it's not unsurprising that the data used to back a warrant or prosecution would be falsified. The US system is rife with all kinds of people being railroaded with shaky witness and cops lying about events.
I'm not the parent, but...

> You state those preferences as if there's no possible way they could be provided while allowing competition.

In theory, sure. In practice, Apple's closed, walled-garden business model has produced outcomes that I really like. All manner of more open and competition-friendly business models have produced outcomes I find extremely unappealing.

My intuition is that many of the things I like about Apple products come from their unique, closed business model. Is something better theoretically possible? Of course. Do I want to risk screwing up one of the few tech giants whose products I can actually stomach by having the government strong-arm them into using a new business model? Not a chance.

> You have been presented a single option, and find that you like some aspects of the outcome.

No, I have been presented with several options: iOS on an iPhone, Android on phones of all shapes and sizes, and (over the years) various other configurations like webOS, windows phone, and so on.

> Right now you seem to have what you consider a benevolent dictator. What happens when the dictates are not as benevolent?

Then I'll have to switch to a different phone maker.

> You desires matter less to Apple than they do to organizations that actually have to worry about users users leaving more. That's because there's so much you give up if you leave. How long until this is abused? Also, what of those that are already abused because of Apple's power? Where Apple makes arbitrary decisions dictated not by the rules they've put forth but by internal business decisions and the desire to prop up their own offerings?

These are all trade-offs caused by Apple having total control over the system, and I'm ok with it.

> What about a world where Apple was a clearinghouse for what was allowed on the phone, but followed a very clear set of rules that dictated what was allowed and not, and took a well defined fee to review apps, and allowed App stored to be registered and submit apps for review and apply their own additional rules on top? Wouldn't you get most the benefits you like out of that? Wouldn't that provide both competition and provide a similar level of security?

As above, all of this sounds nice in theory. Maybe it would be great. But I am not interested in forcing Apple to make a change, because I like what I have now and the law of unintended consequences will certainly apply.
I think its great! You have to overcome the async approach, but once you understand that writing tests are SO much faster and reliable!

Judges rubber stamp warrant requests, and nothing that she is alleged of doing requires cops to show up with body armor and assault rifles.
Having read the warrant request they:

Claim an IP was found by examining logs (no logs shown)

Claim they used “investigative procedures” to identify the IP as belonging to Ms Jones.

Both seem weak but I don’t know usual practice.

Seems odd no actual logs (easily forged) are included. Also odd they don’t just say “Comcast said at time X the IP belonged to her” so unclear what strength of evidence they really had.

"Marine sources" is an interesting phrase but I assume it refers to human rather than natural sources - presumably the source of the nets is fishing vessels and there may be a lot of other plastic that is dropped or dumped from ships directly into the ocean:

I can go fetch similar comments from online archives from every guest language on the JVM, CLR, WebBrowser.

The guest languages require additional tooling, duplicated libraries (because just using the platform libs isn't idiomatic, whatever), and then as the platform moves on the seamless FFI stops being so seamless, specially when the guest language decides being a guest language in just one platform isn't enough for its life achievements.

Eventually the platform language acquires enough features, which remove the spotlight from the guest languages, and projects start to migrate back, ah then the "Why X in Y" blog posts, with reference to "Why Y in X" start to appear.

As for Arrow, if you want Haskell, it already exists.
I'm not sure if you are implying this, but surely we don't want the government to start acting upon imagined, hypothetical future harms that do not currently exist?

> he API is a huge set of linked JSON documents.

These things were all the rage as the theoretical perfect REST API as I recall.
Absolutely right! I left out some details to try to keep the post concise. 4 years ago at Airbnb we had the watch app problem, but now a Swift watch app wouldn’t be an issue since the latest OSs don’t require embedded Swift standard libraries. The tweet that started this thread cited the 300+mb size of Uber’s app, which looks like the current install size (not thinned), that’s why I used it as the benchmark in my explanation.

Lately Apple has been featuring size more prominently on the App Store, and it appears to be displaying the install size. This is also what users see when they look at which apps are taking up storage on their device in Settings. I think it’s important to reduce both, so users see a good number and downloads are fast/efficient. It is a very welcome change that binary encryption doesn’t negate all the gains from compression anymore. I had noticed it in the numbers but looked around for an official statement and didn’t find any, if you happen to know where this was announced I’d appreciate a link!

Companies very rarely run their own weather models. This is because the models require a ton of computing power. Ex: the USAF current weather model is run on "Thor"[0][1]. It's a .9 PFlop system. And it uses approximately all of it, on a consistent basis. If it didn't, they'd increase the model resolution to match, or run the model more often to incorporate observed data faster.

Most of the companies like AccuWeather et al provide, is better UI, and tailored weather. Not just there's going to be a severe thunderstorm, but "these truck routes are going to be affected by weather, so expect them to be 40% slower than normal" or similar.

> That really needs to change.

Here's a different anecdote:

I've had two Clojure-only jobs here in Denmark and neither of them had any homework assignments. I got hired at the first and only interview in both cases. One was my first job after finishing uni and the other one was the job after that.

Now I work at Copenhagen University, also writing Clojure and ClojureScript (so the third Clojure job, although it was never advertised as such) along with a little bit of Java for projects inherited from my predecessor. I didn't have any programming assignment while interviewing here either.

It's not that we don't get interview assignments in Denmark, but I've only had to do them in Python, PHP, Java, and Javascript - i.e. mainstream languages.
