As a child in the 80s I was given an intellivision and a old (even in those years) ~13" black & white tv to play it on.

It had the ability to tune to the higher UHF channels 70-83 [0] which while planned for use in tv broadcast, never ended up being used, but they didn't know that at the time of the construction of the tv set. The frequency covered by those channels were reallocated in 1982 by the CCIR worldwide convention, and covered approximately 806 to 890mhz.

What was most interesting to me as a young teenager in the early 90s about this particular tv set, was that I found out I could hear an occasional phone call when tuned to those UHF channels, even more so when I used the fine tuning nob.

On a side note, the tv set also allowed me to view scrambled channels on the cable system which I could unscramble to various degrees by turning the tuning nob at certain rates back and forth. I suppose modern 90s systems were not designed with my old tv set in mind.

School, university, and prison are all institutions. Stay in school, go to university, stay out of prison.

You don't go to store though, hang out at mall, meet at restaurant, or go to bar for a drink.

I think the difference between the two usages is considering "hospital" an institution.

I also don't think a vs the requires the listener to know which specific place you're talking about, it seems to also communicate that the speaker knows what place they're talking about. "I'm going to the store to buy carrots" vs "I'm going to a store to buy carrots." Someone knows vs no one knows.
The emphasis is on "instructors".

Practice is one thing, instruction is another, and I don't see why city-dwellinig practitioners should be mixed up with mendicants and ascetics.

> Why is it that two Africans became emperors of Rome, but that Africans never led modern European powers

Because more often than not the military decided who became princeps, and military advancement was more egalitarian.

I’d hazard a guess that if Rome had still been controlled by the senate the chances of advancement in Roman society would have been restricted to Italian born patricians.
I don't fully understand what's going on there. They've been saying for years that it is "now" called LinkedIn Learning, but to date, it is still Lynda.com and so are pretty much all references to it.

It looks like LinkedIn bought it and then forgot about the branding migration. Even my library still just calls it Lynda.

I just logged in now to make sure that what I said about library cards was still true. It is.

BTW: Since it is a curated list, you could probably forgo the quality rating. The idea of curation is that all of your links should be high quality. Nobody intentionally promotes crappy curated items (unless of course that's the intent).
The literal definition of the word violence includes more than just person on person harm. For example, "behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.".

But I guess that's probably next on the list of definitions to be "re-written" by a certain political ideology. Within a few years I bet the current definition will be memory-holed and dictionaries will list a new definition, like so many other words/terms that have had their meanings changed in the last decade.

Yep, uses as many goroutines as the number of CPUs, that's about it. Saying it's 3x faster or whatever in "benchmarks" without even saying what CPU is used in the benchmarks is just sketchy.
This is the kind of thing unions were invented for.
I was extremely excited by the Semantic Web back in 2003-2005 when working on a master's in Information Science. I was sure it was 5 years away, tops. I was eagerly building profile pages using FOAF and trying hard to implement other ontologies in my work. I got a job in an academic library and pushed hard for semantic technologies. Seemed like Linked Data was such a hot buzzword and topic that we all wanted to explore but could... just.. never.. get going. In 2015 I gave it all 5 more years and then would consider it essentially "vaporware". Maybe it'll catch on someday but it's 2020 and our data is siloed as much as ever. Feel like web scraping plus machine learning is the real winner in this space, but maybe that's an unfair comparison.
Your analogy to physics is useful.

"Everything is physics" might be true, but as you say, it isn't very useful because it is too broad a brush. That's why we talk about atomic physics, astrophysics, dynamics, optics, nuclear physics, quantum physics, and for that matter, chemistry, and inorganic chemistry. Each of these is a discipline with its own nomenclature and epistemology that enable practitioners to home in on the elements they study in sufficient detail, with an efficiency of language.

Similarly, politics.

To answer the question, what is your hourly rate of pay and why is it so, we have to turn to politics. Physics won't help us, nor will chemistry. Politics is the appropriate discipline, because in politics humans are the atoms, and their interactions are described by the laws of politics.

Your hourly rate of pay is a function only partially of the legislation enacted by your elected representatives. Your state legislature may set a minimum hourly rate of pay. Whether that rate applies to your job, and to you personally, depends on a number of other human interactions, both in the present and throughout history, which occurred independently to the legislature.

And whether you have your job, which pays $X per hour, or another job, which pays $Y per hour, is a function of... that's right, politics. Or more precisely, labor relations, market forces, race relations, immigration, what school you went to, how much funding your school received, what companies your local layers of government attracted to your area. These factors are in turn influenced by taxation, investment law, transport infrastructure, natural resources, environmental regulations... everywhere you look for the answer to the question What is your hourly rate of pay, you encounter a different sub-discipline of... politics.
The less visibility police personally have on the car they're doing the reading on (e.g. half-mile away & at night), the less they're capable of introducing human bias (e.g. profiling) into who they scan and who they don't.

Seems like a win-win for enforcing the law and doing so equally on everyone.
It’s an older term; I’ve always liked it because of the imagery it invokes. It’s use dates back to at least 1528.

The word terve used to mean turn upside down in English.
I'm not saying property damage isn't an attack. I'm not saying it is okay. I am saying that if you call something violence you absolutely imply physical harm. Call it something less ambiguous to make clear that what is going on is about property damage, not taking hostages or something which I hope you agree is vastly more serious.
On the A1466, I can do an extended SMC reset to make the MagSafe light flash green. But it doesn't respond in any other way (no chime). G3 hot is not high.

As for my A1398, I'm going to have to take a multimeter to it tomorrow. Not sure how to diagnose the GPU issue though, other than Single User Mode works, but the computer freezes when switching to NVIDIA.
Maybe the middle class. As I've said elsewhere, there's a profit-incentive to suppress human rights as this limits the ability for people to demand higher wages. The working poor aren't seeing the uplift, and if they have, the burden has been moved to Uyghur 're-education' camps.
If there's one thing I've learned in my time on HN it's that people here tend to be unaffected by subconscious bias, unlike normal people..
Of course vandalism is a form of violence.

I haven't yet read into the details of this case, and I may end up siding with the protestors once I have. But I do not abide the corruption of language for whatever political ends.

Well first and foremost because the software is open source released under the GPL so yes to any code that is released under the GPL I am entitled to it for free, that is the terms of the license and the fundamental promise of FOSS software

Secondly I do not believe I stated anywhere that I was entitled to it, this seems to be a strawman you created in some attempted to project your own beliefs of my motivations

In several comments I have stated my biggest issue with RetHat/CentOS announcement was not they were shifting focus, but rather that they did so while reducing their previously stated committed of supporting CentOS 8 until 2029, to 2021.

This is a betrayal of trust, and I do believe people are entitled to hold companies to account, and demand they honor their public commits of which RedHat previously committed to supporting CentOS 8 until 2029, and I feel they should honor that commitment. If they want to discontinue the support or shift the focus of the project for future releases then more power to them, the community will take the GPL code as we are entitled and create a replacement CentOS.
Not logging with pg_bulkload will win every time. However, not logging transactions is not something that should be taken lightly nor used for every bulk load operation. For instance, if replicating or synchronizing data to another db or using logs for such activity than you'll need the load transactions to perform the same operation on that other db.
Thanks. That's pretty awesome. Looks like they did run into the issue of no data sheets and had to hack around to get/make the driver for updating the screen, which is what I expected. Hope they keep improving it! And at $15 that's a great price. I paid more for a 2.5"x1" display but I needed the friendly pi integration.
Talk Don’t Do

So much effort is spent on hypotheticals. If you think about a problem for too long, it will seem like a worse problem than it is.
Ask HN: How much did YC make from Airbnb, DoorDash IPOs?
Related to that, I can remember borrowing a friend Motorola cell phone in the early 90's, probably the 9800 model, still unencrypted analogue transmission.

Anyways, you could enter the service menu and select which tower frequency you'd like to receive or send on. I remember playing with it and selecting the same channel to send/receive and there was already an on-going call. I heard one of the people say "did you hear that?" and I pulled the battery, it freaked me out.
I'm curious about the context of the $13,000 price tag. Is this a slight upcharge? Or an order of magnitude?

I'm what the Brits might call a "keen motorist", but as someone who considers speed enforcement a necessary evil, there's a world of difference between paying a bit more for much better tech, versus way more. If this costs 4x what a normal radar gun costs, one must ask "what is the problem we're solving", and is it worth the money? Are there renegades out there going double the speed limit, then magically slowing to below the limit 1/2mi from a radar gun, somehow?

I'm certainly happier with the idea of an officer-operated speed camera than one parked by the side of the road with no discretion whatsoever.

Of course, there are plenty of people who rightfully point out that discretion can mean discrimination.
I find it odd that there is so much emphasis on enforcement of speed limits. Studies have shown that speed limits above and below the prevailing speed of most drivers is a much higher risk factor that raw speed. And then there are other behaviors such as using a cell phone and driving that may be criminalized, but do not seem to receive such fervent enforcement.
Yeah if there are lives at stake that’s the important stuff.
yeah OK its probably the definition of repl.
Normal drugs are required to have the chemical structure in the packaging. I wonder why they are allowed to release this one without similar chemical information.
I just hate these overgeneralized titles trying to inject drama where there is none. Literally got a quote from a single guy and made up a title portraying all developers aligning with that statement.

Give insight into the oppisite view
I'll never forget using grandpa's police scanner trying to find interesting sounds and tuned to one of the ~1800 frequencies and shockingly discovering that the cordless phone we bought in ~2003 was completely unencrypted broadcasting in the clear at half of the frequency I was listening to. My mom was in disbelief and we bought a new phone with DECT shortly after. I was a bit shocked myself.
The second is analyzing the law, and finding a provision that conflicts with a provision of the constitution. It’s not very formal, but it’s more than opinion.

It’s not quite that pure. If there are self-contradictions in the constitution, then that gives them some choice about what to compare the law to. They ought to balance that appropriately, but their biases surely creep in.
The big issue in my view is that it seems like quite a few of the ATF's actions over the years don't seem to conform to rule of law, or at least not consistently. For example, I don't know what statute they could be citing to support their current action and of course the back and forth over pistol braces.
I agree about the inflammatory part regarding the headline. Keep it in context about the particular situation at hand.

That said, in general, I think it can be frightening and traumatic to some people to see angry people destroying things. I know it would be for a kid seeing an angry drunk parent destroy their tablet they play games on, even if it's just a machine. This isn't the same as that, but just trying to say, we should try to understand that certain violent (or whatever you'd like to call destructive) actions will frighten some people.
Like any platform, there are pros and cons. But there are a few key positive features I like about Discord. Most notably the ease in which you can link to a group and people can join automatically in contrast to how difficult it is to get up and running in a new Slack group. This is a huge plus in my opinion. It removed the need for a complicated sign up process and for you to quickly engage with a community or remove yourself if that community isn't quite what you are looking for.
Strange. Of all my computers it is only my 2 windows machines that have trouble sleeping and waking. All of my linux machines sleep no problem and only wake up when I have scheduled it. I even have them set up to receive sleep and wake commands from my phone from anywhere. Windows doesn't play nice with that type of setup either.

My windows computers will wake up less than 5 minutes after going to sleep but I've left my linux systems on sleep for days and sometimes weeks at a time with no problem at all.
It is simple: speeding tickets are a revenue stream.

...no? This is not gene therapy. The effects of receiving a mRNA vaccine will, apart from training the immune system (which was the whole point), be next to nothing.

Your body is continually being bombarded with random foreign DNA and RNA. That's just how life on Earth works. Yes, introducing a big pile of it at once is not normal... but it's a difference of degree, not something completely new.

If anything, problems are more likely to derive from the lipid bubbles used (at least by Moderna) to package and transport the mRNA.
I've noted a trend recently where the traditional, long-established meaning of words is being cast aside so as to present normally unacceptable actions as "not really so bad."

One of these words that (to some) no longer means what it has always meant is "censorship," and now "violence" is getting the same treatment.

Look up "violence" in any legitimate dictionary and you will see that it is not limited to personal injury. You will see definitions such as:

"the use of physical force so as to injure, abuse, damage, or destroy"

or

"intense, turbulent, or furious and often destructive action or force"

TFA describes employees "who were exiting the facility after completing their night-shift, went on a rampage destroying the company's furniture, assembly units and even attempted to set fire to vehicles."

To describe these actions done in this manner as "property damage" mischaracterizes the reality of what happened and suggests that an agenda is being pushed on the reader.
There's not an iota of evidence of the significant fraud you believe has occurred, and it's been tested in multiple courts in multiple states.

You are right that many people believe it did. And that's a huge, huge problem.

Can you explain any evidence at all that would convince you?
How about Woodward/Bernstein? Or Obermayer/Obermaier? Or Murrow? Rachel Carson? Cronkite? Frances FitzGerald? I could go on, but my point is putting journalist in scare quotes is insulting to the thousands of brave men and women who have spoken truth to power and risked everything to expose corruption.
I have not read your blog post yet, I will however I do want to comment on this

If you claim RedHat understands the CentOS Client base so well, they how did they not predict and address all of the concerns that we OnPrem Enterprise Admins have? How did they fail at the messaging soo bad, and why has there been no formal statements addressing the issues we have had?

Why has the CentOS Site not been updated to clearly address that "CentOS Stream is not that big of a change you guys are all over reacting"

I suspect because it is a pretty big change, and they know it
We read dcolkitt's comment differently.

You read:

> Citizens United was based on the law being [objectively] unconstitutional, not the court’s interpretation of the law [being that it is an unconstitutional one].

I read:

> Citizens United was based on the law being unconstitutional [in the opinion of the court], not the court’s interpretation of [how] the [constitutionally-compatible and therefore still on the books] law [should be applied to Citizens United].
In almost every democratic country around the world felons can vote once they have served their sentence.
When analog TV's with UHF were still a thing, I could rotate the UHF dial all the way to the top of the band and just begin to hear the unencrypted analog cell phones. Crazy.
I'm going to post one more time, just because I think there's a bit of a misconception here.

You're absolutely correct about the origin of the word "Essay." It comes from the French word "essais," meaning "test" or "attempt." The form as we know it was invented by Montaigne, whose essays are indeed informal and personal. They're also uniformly excellent, and I'd recommend them to anyone. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Essays_of_Montaigne

However, if you click on virtually any of the essays in the link above, you'll find an essay that is packed with references and quotations. Quotations are a form of direct citation. Sometimes Montaigne misquotes, but this was well before the information age, and he was often working off of memory, so I think we can excuse his lapses.

However, if we are to use the origins of the essay as an example, I don't think we can say that the form necessarily resists citation.

I have been interested in the semantic web since the beginning, with interesting work in the field.

I view the SW as part of knowledge representation, thus part of AI.
For theories dismissing an infinitely old universe, here is the true paradox:

Indeed, but it is required for a vaccine to function properly.
Implementing a memory allocator seems to require system calls. What happens when there's no OS? For example on an MCU like Arduino, is the memory allocator packaged along with the program data? If so and in the case of an Arduino, is the code for it available anywhere? I would be curious to see how this is implemented on an embedded system.
Textualism is nothing more than interpreting something in a way that you believe doesn't align with some older thing you also interpreted in a way. "I believe this new law is incompatible with what I believe this old rule says."

You may be right or you may be wrong, anyone can do it, and anyone who does will mostly come to their conclusion based upon their personal political beliefs. Hence, a reason the Supreme Court has so many partisan split rulings.

Textualism is pure nonsense, used to present a false sense of rationality to an opinion. Any self-proclaimed textualist is either deceiving themselves or attempting to deceive others.
