I want to say the Allies imagined a future where Austria reclaimed it's coastal territories, but I'd imagine it's an oversight when they instructed the typist to copy the part that said the Allies got to repossess the enemy submarines.
> Almost exactly twenty years ago I started writing a short article about the problems with string theory. [...] The piece was done in a week or two, after which I sent it around to a group of physicists to ask for comments. The reaction was mostly positive, although at least one well-known theorist told me that publicly challenging string theorists in this way would be counter-productive.

I like to know the subject before I wander off HN following a nondescript title...

With physical security I can walk around and check it for myself. I can even watch the contractors put it in place. There are several people involved that can spot mistakes.

With cyber security I need to trust that some programmer didn't make a mistake 15 years ago when they wrote the TCP stack in a 12 hour crunch shift because their boss needed to meet a deadline. It's impossible to check for the layman and extremely hard even for experts.

FWIW paragraphs 4-6 are those denials and Xinhua has just deleted the article with the photos of people (one with a non-Han name) traveling to to Lens: http://www.xj.xinhuanet.com/2020-02/24/c_1125615994.htm
Is a "legal system that pays for itself" even desirable? Having revenue at all would seem to bring with it all kinds of terrible incentives.

Moreover if the full cost of incarceration is borne by the taxpayer, then everyone has an incentive to fix the underlying causes of imprisonment.
What evidence of foul play have you seen from Apple specifically? The majority of suppliers for eg, Fairphone is also in China, and Apple has the most comprehensive transparency reports and controls of them all.
They may have done something like that, other packages could easily have slightly different wording, font use, or layout structure. Without having access to all of the samples it's impossible to know if their packages differ or are all the same.
> The major important players (Apple, Amazon, MS, Goog) want to go ARM and then maybe RISC-V for their own strategic reasons anyway.

I think this is partly because they can easily get a license to use ARM or RISC-V in custom chips, but doing that with x86 is pretty much impossible.
According to the 20/80 rule, in a given group, the top 20% are responsible for 80% of whatever factor you’re studying, good or bad.

The classic example is in a sales group. The top 20% of salesmen bring in 80% of the business.

In customer support, the top 20% of customers take up 80% of a company’s time.

According to this article, the total wealth in this country is 112 trillion. If you applied the 20/80 rule to this figure, and then keep applying the 20/80 rule until you have 1% remaining, then the “natural” outcome should be that the top 1% control over 70 trillion in wealth. That’s twice as high as what we actually have.
> because they get tire punctures with no or crappy rental car jacks, etc. (Or they change tires and the doughnut spare lasts for 5 minutes.)

The sharp rocks of Death Valley and other super arid parts of Nevada was not something I had really thought about until I saw a picture of the car from one of my friends in Nevada. In addition to the normal full-size spare tire, there were two other tires stuck in the back of the car. He worked in a mine and apparently the road up there was full of these sharp rocks so there were days (not often) that he had to change 2 tires during his commute.

I imagine that it is particular type of rock prone to fracturing with sharp edges. But I also wonder if the sharper rocks more common because of the super arid conditions and are not worn down by the weather.
I got the Pfizer vaccine in Alberta, Canada. Our vaccine FAQ says that getting the second injection 21d to 28d after the first is recommended. Up to 3 months after is allowed, but not advised. For delays longer than 3 months, the person simply won't get the second dose.
> I wonder if YouTube removed his channel for the cybersecurity videos, or if they removed his channel for posting walkthrough videos on how to pirate Burp Suite Pro ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know, but I'm going to automatically berate YouToob's motives/competence, compare some other topics that I feel are less censored than cybersecurity (which is confusing since I haven't bothered to read YouTube's content policy), and preach about the importance of local backups!
It depends what people mean by body positivity. If it's "you're not a bad or less worthy person if you're of weight X, and it's ok to accept some realistic compromises" that's one thing. If it's "people only tell you to not be fat to comply with society stereotypes and you can be healthy at any weight", that's something completely different. I've seen both and people don't often clarify their position.
Reacting just to the title, one of the reasons I admire some of those big evil tech companies is because they appear to compete really hard against each other, and mostly by creating new stuff.

That compares very favorable with eg. the banks or telecoms in my country (and many others).
Maybe confusing, but it's standard at this point. See RockPi and OrangePi.

It shows that they can fuse IMU and other sensor data and feed it to a trajectory-optimization system and get actuation torques meeting realtime contraints sufficiently quickly to not fall over. Bonus points for smooth motion.

That tends to be called skinny fat, and it's the worst feeling and takes a whole different kind of work to escape.

I'm glad I'm not the Secret Service. A drone swarm has to be rapidly becoming one of their scary scenarios for something like inaugurations.
To add: Shaming people about their bodies is not the way to help them loose weight.

I was going to mention Kaepernick but decided not to to avoid the knee jerk downvotes. I agree but wouldn’t have used such strong language. It’s such a ridiculous double standard and I have friends that eat up the Kaerpernick marketing without thinking about it. I agree with Kaepernick’s message but the fact that Nike is backing him with that message is such a joke.

Well there is data on the impact of obesity [1].

Prevalence:

* There are 2 biillion people overweight and 650 million obese globally [2]

* There are only about 3 million people with anorexia nervosa [3].

Nevertheless, people should not be treated like children. You can be positivie and empowering without telling them that they shouldn't even bother to try. Help people change their life and get healthy, that is how you build self esteem.

> You know Google Maps? What I do is, like, build little pieces of Google Maps over and over for people who need them but can’t just use Google Maps because they’re not allowed to for some reason, or another.

I've been working with web mapping for 15 years and I've never thought of saying it because it's never been true for hundreds of applications. Google Maps has always been the worst map client to integrate with. OpenLayers, leaflet, MapBox and myriads of alternative data sources, layers, behaviors and widgets are more suitable for custom applications.

Some people seem to love a particular Google layer, like parcels or businesses, but it never seemed vital unless they were trying replicate some Google Maps experience, in which case I would just advise to send a route or street view request directly to the Google Maps website or app, and be done with it.

The latest fad seems to be 3D terrain and 3D buildings. It's so amazing in the product demso, but the real world usefulness?
growing service centers 12% YoY when they added 50% of cars they’ve ever sold this year alone and plan to sell close to 1M next year (100% YoY) is the definition of inadequate.

I kinda agree but yielding only on I/O is not enough IMO. Sooner or later we'll want to do CPU intensive work in fibers as well, which in the current implementation will block all other fibers on the same thread. Like I mentioned in the article, I'd like to see work stealing between different threads as that would allow fibers to migrate away from threads stuck in CPU intensive work. An alternative way could be to adopt a model similar to Haskells lightweight threads, where the runtime forces a `yield` after N milliseconds (configurable). That would make sure that CPU intensive work would not block other fibers "too" much.
I think there's a strong incentive for a lot of small-business people and software engineers alike to wholly blame attackers. If it's the attackers fault, you don't have to wonder if your insurance is good enough. You don't have to examine if you keep your software sufficiently patched. You don't have to examine if your company's custom internal infrastructure is resilient or if it's one giant shared CIFS drive full of sensitive customer data without backups.

Often, taking security seriously feels like directing a certain amount of resources for uncertain returns at a domain that feels like it should come for free. Software engineering feels like it is like manufacturing, where you produce artifacts and ship them. It's jarring to recontextualize this as actively engaging in an adversarial, human-driven domain.

Between the two, our fellow users are heavily incentivized to find ways that they and people like them are blameless. It's a way to avoid engaging with what can feel like an impossible problem. Without attackers there wouldn't be any cybersecurity issues, right?

In the FAQ [1] there's a comparison to other software in that space. One of the more important things (for me) is fine-grained permissions which CouchDB for instance still hasn't managed to implement.

It's a (former?) Mozilla project that's still actively maintained although I don't know about the current governance.

"Clean plate mentality" is also a big part of the problem. We should not indoctrinate kids to clean their plates.
I get why $RANDOM_OEM wants to start making these boards for hobbyist and profit from the market research that was done for them by the Raspberry Pi foundation.

But the reason folks buy Raspberry Pi's and not some $RANDOM_OEM board with better spec is that they know that the Raspberry Pi foundation has a great track record of documenting the platform as much as it can and shipping software updates, unlike $RANDOM_OEM that will stop responding to calls once they roll out $Board_V1.1 and already collected the cash for $Board_V1.

Trying to infringe on the branding is just the cherry on top really.

Anyone discover any cool graphs to share?

For example, the simplest one producing something interesting I've found so far is:

t%x

Which creates a growing jagged triangular graph when you press "play" for the "t" constant.

Naturally, this can be built upon to make weirder and weirder graphs, ex:

sin(t%x)

Exactly right. SOTA is to continuously solve a trajectory optimization problem in realtime. Probably at a rate of a fews 10’s of milliseconds per solution.
To me it looks like claymation. But of course I can't really explain what it means for something to "look like claymation" to me. Is it that the movement is too isolated? Not isolated enough? Both of those things at the same time in different ways?

Well but Tesla cars don't have brains. Maybe the lack of lidars makes the task 100 times harder, i.e. de facto impossible. We don't know. This is a big risk for Tesla but they didn't have a choice. If lidars were as cheap as cameras, of course they would use them.

On the other hand, Waymo et. al. are not risking anything by using lidars. If they turn out to be redundant, it should be easy to remove them cheaply.
How do you reach that conclusion from the shared video?
Not the previous commenter. But enthusiastic :)

I would recommend trying it and seeing how you like it. I've basically dropped Python which was my daily language in favor of Elixir. I find I get a higher top bound to what I can do, high-level expressive but less magical code and a bunch of capabilities that aren't typically feasible with other runtimes (state handling, resiliency and stuff). The parallelism I get for free with Phoenix whether I try or not.

I'd watch Sasa Jurics talk on the heart of elixir and erlang to get more of the technical advantages laid out quite well.

"Maybe you're referring to the locks in which case you have a point. But exterior doors in my area tend to have big glass panels on them."

A ladder or chair from your own home should work fine. You might be suprised at how often burglars use tools they find in the target house.

Opinion: Five 2020 Books That Explain the World

Yes, lack of local knowledge in Google Maps is often problematic, and Google aren't receptive to local governments requesting changes.

I lived near a gorge where there was a nice modern road alongside an old horse track that was only intended for use by the residents connected to it. It was technically two-way (as making it one way would annoy the residents who might want to go either up or down) but barely wide enough for one car. If you met another car halfway, you had to reverse until you got to a driveway you could go into and let the other car past.

At some point Google Maps' algorithm changed and started suggesting that everyone use the old road. There were multiple crashes, and the local government begged Google to deprioritise it, but their answer was basically "our algorithm is always right". Five years on, Google Maps will still suggest it, so the local government added big signs at each end advising drivers to ignore Google Maps and to use the main road.

Although they already weren't suggesting that route, the other map providers (Apple, Here, TomTom etc) contacted by the local government were happy to proactively add a flag to the road saying that it is for residents only - so it will only route using it if the source/destination is that road.
That's a rather massive elipses there

What nobody else will say about the new cybersecurity crisis
One option is to partner with your first customer - they fund the development, with discounted hourly rates, in exchange for you keeping the IP and being allowed to resell it as a product once the initial launch with them is done.

That is easier said than done, though - you need to be developing something difficult enough that their internal staff cannot do it, with enough value that it is worth a line item in their budget, and that does not have existing COTS solutions.
BMI assumes you have an average amount of muscle. Any weight above that is assumed to be fat. So for someone like the Rock it treats a lot of muscle as though it were fat.

> In my opinion it's math not python which got the matrix multiply operator wrong. It's not commutative so it shouldn't be written with the same operator as the regular product.

The "regular product" in math is never intended to be commutative (e.g., the product in a group or in a ring, and that includes the matrix product). If you want to indicate that an operator is commutative, in math, you use always the "+" operator. Thus, it is python that gets it wrong by using a blatantly commutative operator for non-commutative operations such as string concatenation. That python was designed by a mathematician adds sadness to this notational tragedy.

A single medium-caliber mortar is a five-hundred-year-old piece of technology that can be carried and assembled by two men, has an effective range of ~1,000 to 5,000 yards, does not require line of sight to the target, can be operated by a high-school dropout, and has a kill radius of 30 meters.

One can probably be picked up from an army surplus warehouse somewhere in the former Soviet Union/(some current conflict zone), for an ~$X,000 USD bribe, or alternatively, manufactured by a literate, mildly motivated individual with a high tolerance for personal risk, a welder, a lathe, a tool-shed, and an outhouse in the mountains.

Many times racist and sexist harassment only consists of “making pressure changes in the air with vocal cords.” However, those pressure waves have meaning(words) and there is intent behind them, so we condemn that behavior.
Maybe:

1. They need to fend off AMD in x86 and in the absense of a process solution that means TSMC.

2. Opening up fabs would maximise the value of manufacturing and support ongoing investment as x86 declines.

3. Sell everything that is non-core and a distraction.

4. Fix the culture.

Note that 1. and 2. don't necessarily mean splitting the company.

Not simple though - especially 4. (easy from the armchair though!)
