You are literally required to be vigilant while operating an autopilot vehicle, if you're relaxing and letting it completely handle the vehicle that means you're not properly operating your car. It's an assist. Even Tesla's documentation and instructions tell you this.
We should make it legal. Copyright should be abolished.
Fluorite – A note taking app for customer validation process
Just sharing my love for hiking and some unusual and exciting/adventure hikes. Some in this thread might find useful.

I'm sorry it does not meet your standards.
> then why doesn't one already exist?

I think that's the big question that these threads need to be asking, because it's not just that it doesn't exist for the web. It doesn't exist anywhere for any platform.

Coming in and just saying, 'HTML5 can't replicate Flash' -- not only is that inaccurate, it's unhelpful. We need to ask what modern developers need and why we seem to be unable to supply that. What are our modern tools missing? Would Flash still be relevant for indie development today? Do we need something more extensive or powerful? Do we need to rethink developer workflows? Is the problem funding, or finding a way to monetize, or is it a community problem where we just can't get indie devs to standardize on one tool?

Every thread where people complain about the loss of Flash could be a really productive conversation about what a modern animation engine would need and how we could build one. But instead it's just people re-litigating a 15-20 year old fight for no reason.

Because the APIs are there. Any company could build an animation engine today that output to any low-level language: C, Rust, whatever. And the output could be compiled to WASM and the pixel buffers could be rendered to a canvas. We could even do smart updates and partial re-renders and cache large operations on separate canvases. Or that frame compilation could happen behind the scenes in WASM and the image data could be spit out as a single array of pixels. We could do all of the optimizations we need.

But that tool doesn't exist. It doesn't exist for the web, or for iOS, or for Android, or for Windows, or for any modern console. Why? That's the productive question to ask, that's the question that will actually help us make progress towards replacing Flash. The only thing the web can provide is APIs and technology, at some point game devs need to stop complaining about the web in specific and start asking why our game dev tools in general aren't up to snuff.
Are photos encrypted, both in-transit and at rest?
The reason for keeping the XUL runner based legacy tech and to ditch something like a --pwa flag is...that it it has "some known bugs"?

If there is no alternative to shipping apps via electron and chromium PWAs, there unlikely will be an open alternative that works everywhere.

I honestly don't understand this decision.
Well after reading all these discussions, I feel I am working too much! Most of the IT "service" companies in India mandate 9 or 9.5Hrs a day and there is no overtime if you work more (which is always needed to match some meetings scheduled in client's timezone). Worst some companies do not even have paid sick leaves so I hardly imagine here we will get such 4 day week option in near future.
This is the most Silicon Valley response ever to the new law. Yeah, poor people are struggling with 3 jobs, but Uber is the problem. Maybe let’s address public transportation and the underlying reasons for 3 jobs instead of having a Silicon Valley VC darling try to squeeze more profits.
And it has a battery that doesn't give you range anxiety? And you can charge it with 100kW+ on a supercharger? And it has the autopilot that can drive without interaction for hundreds of miles? And it will get software updates through wifi? All of those things just work?
Maybe Simonjgreen can help improve the article?
Seems like a relevant topic to me. Glad people put work and share on hjis subject.
Before Google was a thing, UNIX security was already something to worry about, hence why Tru64 was created, or HP-UX introduced vaults.
Why? There's nothing wrong with being drawn to people with certain dispositions. And I'm not proud (or whatever) of not having anyone in my social circle who has committed suicide. Just like I wouldn't be proud if none of my friends had Parkinsons.
That source you shared seems to show that there could be a problem with tainted RDRAND, since it is xored in at the end of the function, and the linked email thread has comments by "maintainer of record (me) for the Linux RNG" who "quit the project about two years ago precisely because Linus decided to include a patch from Intel to allow their unauditable RdRand to bypass the entropy pool over my strenuous objections.

From a quick skim of current sources, much of that has recently been rolled back"

At the very least, that looks like there might be something in it. I don't know crypto well enough to say for sure, but it looks like Linus needs to re-read rand.h from what that article says about the state of the comments and previous rolled back changes from Intel. It does make one wonder if Linus' arrogance and rudeness could be used as cover for a genuine backdoor.
Not everyone is building a next Instagram for hundreds of millions users. There's a long tail of smaller business niches which might sustain a solo developer / small company and there having one codebase is obviously critical.
Replying to myself, since I bet the author won't, because they're probably violating GPL.

For anyone else interested, it definitely looks like it's using MAME, which is unfortunate, since it's one of the slowest and less accurate PSX emulators out there.

In any case, I'm sure the author will soon release the source code of all the GPL parts, if any ;)
>It's this a sound decision? It seems like it would be intel abandoning smaller nodes and sticking to 14nm whilst they go to Samsung or TSMC to manufacture their chips.

I dont read that is what they are suggesting. Basically they want Intel Foundry and Intel Chip as separate business entity. Intel Chip will continue to use Intel Foundry while Intel Foundry will go full force and compete with TSMC. In investment terms, that is unlocking the potential in their stock price, which is trading at ~10 P/E while all other Tech stock are at 50+. ( Nvidia ~85, AMD ~125 )

Whether that is a sound stratergy depends on execution. There is one assumption that we could consider as truth, Intel will need higher unit volume to amortised the cost of leading edge R&D and lower per unit cost to stay competitive with TSMC. With this precondition, there is only two way around it, either open up your Fab and compete as suggested, or doing what Intel is doing now which is to massively expand their market with NPU, GPU, FPGA, Network Processor and all other reasonable margin product segments.

Credit where Credit's due, Intel's sales and marketing department have always been some of the best in the industry. All of the timely and intentional "leaks" as well as sales incentive and delaying tactics are working exceptionally well. But they dont change the fundamentals, and I am not sure if what they are doing now are radical enough to change course in the long term.
I contest that, the sea looks blue in overcast days too.
Ask HN: What Skills to Acquire in 2021?
Given that most people are spending more time indoors due to Covid, what are some skills that people should acquire in 2021?

Some skills I've learnt in 2020:
- Repairing phones/ laptops

- Cooking decent and nutritious food

- Weightlifting with proper form

- Acting, posture, voice control and improv

- Blog writing: One of my posts got to HN front page, though it's hard to be consistent
Are EVs really that new? The first Nissan Leaf came out in 2010, the Tesla Roadster began development in 2004 and launched in 2008. Other modern consumer EVs came out in 2009 or earlier. You could say "new compared to internal combustion engines" but research (and functioning prototypes, even consumer-adjacent builds) on electric cars dates back to the early 1900s of earlier.

I think people need to stop cutting car manufacturers slack on this stuff, they've had time to get it right.

I'm probably missing what you mean by "committed to Intel"
Lets put it this way, most of them are enabled by default on Android.
The guys handling millions of dollars should be trained in finance / accounting, so they aren’t untrained.

Handing over to IT usually means their flexible spreadsheet that they can change as they require, turns into an expensive and inflexible black box that only IT can change and that doesn’t integrate with the rest of their decisions. Also the new solution also probably has errors and pulls currency info from the same endpoint. Excel isn’t perfect, but it’s used for a reason.

To use your analogy, You can wait for an electrician to change your lightbulb, but that means your going to be working in the dark for longer.
Like what though? Same could be said about any car manufacturer. Electronics wise the car will yell if there’s anything wrong so the only other thing I could think of would be something wrong with the chassis which hasn’t been an issue you see with Tesla’s. Most of the problems are cosmetic.
What is the use of Green Vibration Keto?
Green Vibration Keto is a great product to make sure that the body is getting good nutrition and also the fat is getting burnt through the process of ketosis. This is a great product to ensure that the ketones that have been used in it make the body free of all the harms that the body fat can cause to a person. The usage of this product helps to achieve ketosis faster and also sustain it till all the excess fat has been burnt off. GVP Keto pill is a great product for usage and is healthy as well, this is why a lot of people trust it.Click Here https://apnews.com/press-release/ts-newswire/lifestyle-nutri...

Nah. Someone have them copy for free (yes piracy) and then they gave copies to their friends.

Piracy was pretty normal back then.
Prime is not even fully electric?
Right, but when you lose weight you don't necessarily lose mass. You may have just gone to the moon (or Everest, I guess).

I am just curious about your business model
I read the article/transcript and follow similar analysis on NTD media.

Yes, it echoes what Trump/Pompeo has already done. But that's a good thing, since Trump's populism and China policy is widely hailed by anybody knowledgeable as not only a good start, but done in a remarkably (unbelievably) short timespan.

Sadly, the CCP's 9-dashed line policy has caused the biggest international arms race in Asia since WW2.

Even Japan is militarizing on all axes and will probably build nuclear ICBMs to defend themself against China/N. Korea. (They make ICBMs, they just need to add warheads.)

There is a very high risk of war with China until the CCP will accept "No." as an answer from other countries. Xi is an uneducated thug, and historically that means bombing cities to remove thugs from power.

(The CCP can be neutralized by the West decoupling, and the US revoking their capital market access, which was done to the Soviet Union.)

Happy New Year to Mr. Pompeo and family - I didn't know a big guy had that much energy (he did more earth orbits than an astronaut in the past year for meetings with partners and rebuilding of coalition members after the Obama foreign policy wasteland.)
Wow. What a sad tableau of bottom-feeding get-rich-quick philosophies. I don't care what I do, I just gotta get rich or die trying! I'll play the stocks! I'll flip trash on Ebay! Forget all that "honest work" and "do what interests you" crap, that's for mollycoddled crybabies! There's a thousand people eager to sell me the next innovation in dropshipping to make me an overnight millionaire!
Lots of discussion here of Python and R as alternatives to Excel. But no mention of drag and drop data processing tools such as Alteryx, Knime or Easy Data Transform. Are these not a more natural alternative to Excel for people who don't have a programming background?
Rude is telling developers their business model is not good, because they cannot affort to build native apps for Windows, Mac, Gnome, Kde, Android, iOS and web. If you cannot work with PWAs maybe you just aren't in the targeted user group.
How I Effectively Overcame Impostor Syndrome as a Software Engineer
Chrome OS does most of these things by default, at the cost of trusting Google.
Would you say Gentoo is the most secure distribution to use when writing yours?
I just use jAlbum and put up a static website, no need for fancy dynamic server stuff, while it offers lots of tools for image processing.
I have driven a car with lane keep assist and hated it. If I'm getting close to the edge of a lane, it's intentional and often for safety; having the car try to interfere with that is counter-productive. I wouldn't call it comparable to Tesla's autopilot though, as it only intervened in steering when you neared the edge of the lane. I guess you could just let it pinball down the road like that, but I wouldn't want to attempt it. Maybe other cars do it better.

Adaptive cruise on the other hand is great, but all modern cars have that.

The real issue though is that it's harder to remain alert when the car is effectively doing everything for you... until it doesn't.
>but you give up all pretense of being "journalists" when you do so

I do not have any idea what you consider to be journalism. Why would being a useful idiot make publishing politically relevant information eliminate your pretense of being a "journalist?"

>Again, not what we are talking about.

Then explain how Stone's indictment for spying is in anyway relevant to our discussion? I assumed you brought it up to claim Assange's actions were illegal, making prosecuting his actions not violate his freedom of the press. You just wanted to show he was in contact with GOP leaders?

>famous leaker is pro-leaker, what a shocking revelation

The relevant part was a judge saying he couldn't explain his actions. Assange's case was similarly run. They had no hope of a fair trial.

I had not heard of Zaid, my research pulled up this exchange he had though

>What result could Snowden have expected had he covered the bases and his butt by approaching an inspector general’s office or congressional committees?

And replied

>“Candidly,” Zaid said, “he likely would have been frustrated immensely with the lack of results from either, given the current posture.”

Though he's a vocal critic of Snowden, even he found it unlikely that the "proper channels" would have netted results.

And on the subject of moving goal posts, why have you changed from trying to show them as Russian agents to not journalists/whistleblowers?
Or just steer clear of Tesla completely. They have some nice to haves, but the price you pay (not $$) for it is too high.

I have two colleagues who got Model X's, they both drove as much Model S the first 6 months (at least) after getting the vehicle as the quality was so subpar. One door had to be repainted because the gull wings were scraping against eachother, panel gaps, the car started to kernel panic after an update and was immobilized, the list goes on (This is only what i know off, i stopped asking after awhile).

It's only a sample size of two, but I've never heard of anything like it before. I wouldn't want that from a 1.5MSEK purchase. The problem is that they won't just magically become better without lowering production speeds, which they can't to because then the stock might just finally pop. So buying a Tesla you're stuck getting something rushed together rather sloppily. Go Lexus/Toyota unless you really need the Tesla "cool factor" but rather a good vehicle.
It’s been very long since they promised us that web apps that use systems such as Cordova would work as well as native apps. That hasn’t happened yet, and will never happen I guess.
More like a kludgy workaround for having to go through the submission process of the app store walled gardens of phone vendors.

Nothing else.

It has certainly nothing to do with any "agile apps development" and there is little to no market for it outside of mobile (i.e. desktop).
Who said that the technology was there? Did you even read the previous comments or just jumped onto the hate wagon because of preconceptions?

The question was why it is possible. Not why "it should work today", nor "why it will most definitely 100% happen guaranteed in the next couple of years".
I haven't flown myself, but I would guess when cruising in a plane, there's far less likelihood of hitting a stationary object should the autopilot mess up.
Are you saying that if Walmart fired these workers the budget would increase by $6 bln? If not then it is just a highly misleading statistic bordering on intentional misinformation.
Being bilingual makes swearing easier
Seconded! I'm very early into a first grow and it's so exciting seeing your first baby leaves growing.

It finally feels like I'm putting my college physics to use and building on it. You're trying to control the environment, with many different factors, as perfectly as you can. To do it well, you have to understand the principles behind each different factor.

E.g.: In controlling temps and humidity which is important for plant respiration, why does a lower temperature hold less moisture? Heat is kinetic energy, and a higher temp (more heat) means more molecules on avg have enough energy to become a gas.

Web apps have a tendency to disappear andor change without the users wants or needs. I agree app stores are user hostile, but so are web apps.
By "critical race theory" do you mean that there's only one human race? This isn't a crackpot conspiracy; TBH, it makes the belief in multiple races look crackpot. Similarly, by "intersectionality" do you mean the advances in civil-rights law that let us recognize when women of color are being discriminated against? This isn't crackpot, but basic set theory being applied by lawyers.

Imagine being a country which doesn't feed everybody, house everybody, clothe everybody, give health care to everybody, but does have plenty of time to explain how skin color matters a whole lot and can fund police which will enforce skin-color policies. That's rightism in a nutshell.
This is BS. They perfectly acknowledge that some imperial dynasties were not Han and have no problem with it. These 'foreign' dynasties adopted Han culture. Certainly, Chinese culture did not turn Mongol when the Emperor was an ethnic Mongol.

Please don't spread nonsense.

There is a class action lawsuit against Tesla because the model S and X suspension can prematurely break. They issued a recall in China, but not in the US.
What are you talking about? XUL Runner didn't get a release in five years, and XUL is being removed from Firefox. And where did you see Mozilla wants to "ditch app sandboxing"?
> I see that you are very conscious about pronunciation so for you it won't be a big problem most of the time.

I still learned more from your site about how to pronounce Chinese <zh> than I knew before, and it's not as though I've never attempted to pronounce names containing it. :-)

> When you hover over the name if the user provided it it will display names origin - poor UX sorry.

Oh, I definitely didn't notice that. I guess I'd like to suggest that you require users to indicate it, again thinking about a name like Jan that could easily start with three drastically different consonants depending on what language it's in!

> try saying as close as possible Grzegorz without hearing it first...

I know there's something about <rz> in Polish that I don't expect, but I also don't know what it is!

Yeah, that's a great example of how this could be useful. My intuition from English is like [ɡɝ'zɛɡɔɹz] which, now that I've listened to a Polish recording, is really really really far off. Even "Maciej" would have given me trouble before I'd heard people talking about Maciej Ceglowski.
I work on a training website. Back in the day our website was Flash based. We had a team of animators, script writers, professional voice talent, etc. cranking out training content. People loved it and we won multiple awards. But then the ipad came out and the people who used our product adopted the iPad as their training device. Very quickly we switched from rich Flash animation to text and images with the occasional video we got from marketing. It is all the same information, but it is so incredibly boring. Usage dropped dramatically since people loved the animated content. Reading and looking at static images? Not so much. That was 10 years ago and things haven’t gotten better, at all. We really lost something special when Flash died. Somebody mentioned Adobe Animate. It really isn’t a replacement. Someday someone will create an animation tool that was as good as Flash. Maybe.
Applying Sim2Real Transfer to Industrial Robots
> he wrote it in CodeWarrior

Wow, that's a name I haven't heard in 20+ years. We used CodeWarrior Pro for my Pascal class at a local community college that I took during high school, because my high school was so small, I literally ran out of classes to take by senior year, so I had to take a programming course at a CC that was 10 miles away. Had to get a waiver to leave school before noon to go to the class because state policy was that students can't be released from school before noon, and because all my classes (all 3 of them) were over by 11:30.
