That is absolutely 1000000% not true. You only have to pay the TV Licence if you ever watch live TV, not if you merely have a televion set. I've never paid the fee because I don't watch live TV, ever, and when you go on the TV licence page to fill out the form why you don't need a licence, one of the options on the form is "I only use my TV for games consoles, netflix, dvd players etc".

So it's not some "clever hack" - the law specifically allows for not paying the licence fee if you own a TV set but don't watch live TV.
I think the super sports cars are actually turning electric faster than their cheap counterparts?
There is so much to take out from this story for developers who want to do the same.

Marketing is hard, making people pay for something is even harder.

Your idea about "fantastic app" might not be so fantastic for target group. Problem is there is so much more to any business that we don't know from the outside. There are things that unless you are in the group you are not able to notice because those are "dirty" trade secrets.
I was so proud of my upside down dinosaur.

Yeah, I do clinical placements in hospitals as part of volunteer work, and doctors run the range from open and receptive to questions to incredibly arrogant and dismissive.

The fact that they agreed to talk to the OP probably means they aren't going to be immediately dismissive, but I'd hesitate to assign any supranormal human traits to doctors.
Or just sell the exploit on the dark net, where a Chinese state-sponsored hacker would surely find it and buy it. I'm certain China has a pile of crypto somewhere intended for just that.

I love htop.

For me the design philosophy worked quite well. I learned so much about my system just by using it and trying to understand all of its output. And I am still learning after years of using it.

I actually like to just sit and watch it sometimes, it's fascinating to me how much a computer does at all times, even when it is idle.
Maybe. It is definitely looks a lot like a ponzi scheme too me. And it is nearly useless and immorally wasteful.
Dependency management is hard and RedHats solution was pretty poor. Debian/Ubuntu got apt which meant it was really easy to install packages. It took a long time for RedHat to get something similar.

The flip side was that it’s much easier to build rpms.
Much like nearly half of adult Canadians, you seem to struggle with literacy.

Fair enough, as I said my experience with julia is limited.

I did ask for feedback (there is a link to the repository under code, but I saw that I accidentally removed it in one push to the repository, so it might have not been there when you looked).

I've just checked with your suggestions and I get a 2x improvement by going to zeros(Complex{Float64}, pols, L) and a bit more improvement by changing the calculations to column major to result in an overall improvement of about 60x compared to numpy (using @views did actually result in a slow down). I will update the post, thanks.
This is a common objection by people that haven't lived with an EV. In reality convenient very slow charging is what you really want. Cars spend 90%+ of their time parked. Connecting them to a common outlet at those times is more than enough for charging to be something you stop thinking about. Going to a gas station becomes a strange inconvenience you used to have to do. In a few cases you then go on a road trip and use a fast charger. What we actually have to build out is all that slow and simple infrastructure in city parking and other convenient places. The grid is already everywhere.

Losing all that convenience, 2/3 of your energy, and having to build out a completely new fueling infrastructure to use hydrogen fuel cells just makes no sense.
There's a lot of truth in this, but one catch is that the "zillion pharmacies" aren't set up for -70C storage. Although delivering each of them a small box of vaccine to be injected that same day sounds like a problem for which we also have well-established solutions... they're just busy delivering hamburgers.
betamax was better tech than vhs.
it's adoption that counts.
Also check out the various Mitchell and Webb sketch shows, as well as Bruiser! That's a good rabbit hole.
This feature seems to be heavily used in the Japanese vtuber subculture [1][2]. Some of those streamers also use streamlabs (which don't have fees beyond payment processing) but based on the tracked superchat amounts I think it's safe to say the convenience factor is worth it.

The other streaming platform where vtuber subculture is quite popular is China's Bilibili which charges 50% for superchats.

I think Twitch biggest mistake is launching without any notable donation fee, especially back when there's practically 0 competition.

I don't think you really need that much of a justification to claim that centralized power is a danger to democracy.

Democracy is to place power into the hands of each individual, every form of centralized power necessarily pulls this power away from people and into the hands of a limited number of individuals. Democracy isn't so much threatened but actually harmed by the mere existence of centralized power.
Every Tesla owner I know was a 2 car family reassured by the fact that their other car was ICE that they could use for long trips. Once they got the Tesla it became the vehicle used for all long trips. There are very few destinations that aren't within 250 miles of a supercharger and do not have at least a 115V plug available to recharge the car while you're at the destination.

And as far as I'm concerned a Y is a large family vehicle. It's no Escalade, but it's larger than our small minivan. If you disagree, there are some large trucks and SUV's coming in 2021/2022.

Depreciation is a kicker all right, but in the other direction. All actively cooled electric cars (IOW everything except the Leaf) depreciate a lot slower than a gas car. And that's just going to accelerate. Imagine trying to sell a 2020 ICE car in 2030. 98% of 2020 cars are ICE, but in 2030 the majority of new car purchases are going to be electric. Buyers of used cars want basically the same thing as buyers of electric cars, so the small number of available electrics are going to be in high demand.
But the whole point of Leet Resumes is that they provide you both great content and presentation, or I misunderstood something?
I worked with some guys and I could never work out why they were doing things the way they were. I didn't really interact with what they were doing that much so I just assumed they were experts in the area and I just didn't understand. Overtime I ended up working with them more and more and I started looking at what problems they were solving and how they were approaching it. The more I looked the more I didn't understand their approach, and slowly it dawned on me. They're not geniuses doing things at an incredibly advanced level that goes over my head. They were actually doing really stupid stuff and I didn't understand it, because it was insane. What they were really doing - in my opinion - was cargo cult software development practices. They'd worked with complex well designed systems that they hadn't really understood and were reproducing a weird facsimile of it.

That's very much how I feel about Bitcoin. The more I see and the more I understand the less I believe any of the peoples explanations. Not least because if you ask 5 different Bitcoin proponents, you'll get 5 completely different answer about why it's valuable - from the unlikely (USD is going to inflate like we're living in Venezuela), to the untrue (BTC is decentralized), to the unprovable (BTC is digital gold).

Sometimes the reason the explanations don't make sense is because they're not right - and the alternative that BTC is a bubble or manipulated, atleast needs to be considered.
I edited it to make it easier to answer.

Your examples are not examples of a properly set up market system. They are spinning off what are called "externalities", which are costs not born by either the buyer or the seller. A properly set up market would apply those costs to the producer.

An example of this is CO2 emission should be taxed, not regulated.
But how much they read on the black mirror they hold in their hands every day. A good discussion on HN is probably a novella size.
>In Germany and I guess, in most countries, the public broadcasters are basically low-key propaganda arms of the government. The whole separate tax thing is a intermediate smokescreen to give the public the illusion of independence.

This claim elides the difference between e.g. the BBC or Deutsche Welle and RT. It would be naive to think that the BBC is wholly independent of politicians. But it would be equally naive to think that they're no better than a state propaganda outlet.
I used to get the letters because I bought a TV for use as a monitor for video projects and I was stupid enough to give my address when asked to.

They're sent out on a cycle with a bit of randomness. It's quite fun to collect the set.

They stopped when I phoned the Bristol office and they asked how I'd feel if an inspector came over. I told them they were welcome any time, and the drive over would be a nice day out. [True]
Yes, one of the few culture shocks when I lived in America was pharmaceutical advertising to the public. Another was constant political advertising on TV.

It means "above hearing". Beyond (through, across) is "trans". I would say low, both volume and frequency to be sub (like in subtlety).

The downside to that more "not idiomatic Go" example is that you lose useful stack traces, and it complicates contexts (timeouts, credentials, tracing, etc… etc…).

For this reason the article I would say is also suboptimal, and is non-idiomatic. It's something you'd do in other languages, but should be avoided in Go.

In my opinion you should just start a goroutine. The goroutine could block on a semaphore/channel to limit concurrency, but there's nothing inherently more costly about having the goroutines themselves be the queue instead of like the article having a list.

Yes, it'll probably take a bit more memory to create a goroutine than to add to a list, but almost always I'll take that to get more correct behavior.

But also, your suggestion doesn't handle the requirement "Calling the service should not block the caller", does it?

The article overengineered, by far. You don't need infrastructure for this. It's just:

for work := range workGenerator() {
go process(work)
}

to limit concurrency, create a semaphore and just block either before starting goroutine (thereby blocking caller):

sem := sync.NewSemaphore(runtime.NumCPU())
for work := range workGenerator() {
work:=work
sem.Acquire(1)
go func() {
defer sem.Release()
process(work)
}()
}

Or in the goroutine, to not block the caller:

sem := sync.NewSemaphore(runtime.NumCPU())
for work := range workGenerator() {
work:=work
go func() {
sem.Acquire(1)
defer sem.Release()
process(work)
}()
}

You don't need the infrastructure from the article and, as I described, it's actually hurting.
>The tool should have been designed (IMO) as a consumer tool, either a kiosk at CVS/Walgreens/pharmacies to assist with OTC med selection or possibly as a website with ads/referrals. I would absolutely choose a pharmacy over another as a result of them having something to help through that process, especially when I have a headache.

You're making a similar mistake to OP. You're considering the end user, the pharmacy, but are now ignoring manufacturers, suppliers and wholesalers. Why would a major supplier provide their goods to a pharmacy who ranks them last in their kiosks? Why wouldn't they give preferential pricing to pharmacists that give better rankings?

Perhaps large chain pharmacists have buying power here, but they don't need help attracting customers. Perhaps small pharmacists could benefit from this system to attract customers, but if the system ranks Pfizer products last they wont be in business for long.

Point is, perhaps you want it, and perhaps you think pharmacists should want it for you, but the entire supply chain does not want it.
While you're certainly correct about the ideals of the BBC, there are enough people who have decidedly stopped consuming their content, either because of the terrible decline in quality (I stopped reading BBCNews because of the clickbait years ago), or preference not to consume it in general. Mandatory license fees, and any enforcement to collect as such, is therefore completely ridiculous in this day and age.
>Your reading preferences are not the gold standard in what makes a good book or makes one "literate"

Yes, but those were just examples, not meant to pinpoint the golden standard but to illustrate the point.

>The same applies to every other single individual.

Yes, but it shouldn't apply to a collective cultural consensus.

Of course in this era nothing can be said to be of a higher standard, and everything cultural is subjective, lest one offends the high priests of mass culture and their "individual (consumer) is king" religion. So feel free to downvote, like other cultures and eras would have felt free to upvote.

>As a side note, before you start gatekeeping literacy you may want to avoid grammar mistakes in your own writing.

Ah, the ad hominem attack that has nothing to do with the substance of the argument.

Never mind that I'm not a native speaker, and I would like to see how you would have fared in my language :-)

How is the video in Georgia debunked? They sent observers home (even a big newslet posted this on Twitter at that time), counted the ballots afterwards and Biden had a spike.

And btw I am from Germany, so I am on neither "camp".

In the UK Richard Sharp, the new chairman of the BBC’s board of directors, has in the past donated £400k to the Conservative Party.

Turns out keeping the license fee out of the general fund didn't do much to institutionalize independence after all.
You might be right for single-casual illnesses like a broken leg, CoVid-19, Tuberculosis, and others. But it's a whole other thing when it comes to more complex illnesses.

Having been for 18 months through different types of psychiatrists and clinics, I came out quite surprised in how "trial and error" this whole system is.

I'm writing this from Switzerland, where we have an (arguably) high quality health care system. But the amount of "OK, that didn't work, lets try this other drug". Or, now, 18 months later, "Oh well, we did the list once through. But who tells me that the MD prescribing the first drug did a correct analysis? Lets start the list from top again." Or, for a friend of mine, his girlfriend found a working cure like that: "Oh, this brochure describes your symptoms so clearly, and it's completely different from what you've been treated for these last 20 years. Let's try it!"

Spoiler alert for my case with the list: the top of the list was not better the second time around.

If you think this is cynical, well, I would like at least _one_ of these drugs to work. If you think the MDs are all useless: well, at some times I was glad they were there.

So, well, I think having a little less than random system might be helping. Let the MDs watch if it makes sense, enter the correct diagnosis, and catch the stupid errors data entry people can make. But i'd give it a try...
The list of countries between 5 and 10 million includes more countries noted for human rights violations or recent civil wars than liberal democracies. Even success stories in maximising their geographic advantages like Singapore hardly qualify as 'more democratic'

The factor Switzerland seems to have in common with other liberal democracies of that size is being based in Europe, something it also shares with a larger liberal democracies. Exceptional features like the canton system, regular referenda and not going to war are unique to Switzerland (and arguably not as attractive as they superficially sound)
Yeah, that makes sense. I automatically assumed you were talking about "secret" keys because of the parent post.
There is "F1 Help" in the bottom bar which lists these options, but not in much detail, so it's probably not enough for someone not experience with the tool.

For example, I missed that they use capital and non-capital letters: H (shift+h) toggles the threads, but i sat there opening/closing the help screen by pressing just h. Careful reading of the help screen would have prevented that. As none of the same lowercase/capital letters are next to each other, it is easy to miss.
Stopped reading after I saw it’s from the intercept.
> we found that up to 99.1% of the microbes in sediment deposited 101.5 million years ago were still alive and were ready to eat

> But the real secret of their remarkable survival lies in their metabolic rate. It is just slow enough for them to survive for such long periods.

That would imply their metabolic rate to be practically zero, 101 million years is such a long time that even the tiniest amount of activity would result in a depletion of resources. Does that mean they die, only to come back to live at a better time?
They probably do run an encoder on the server. When in a many-users meeting, everyone but the one speaking have reduced resolution and bitrate. This suggests they are encoding a low bitrate and high bitrate stream for each user, and switching as needed.
This assumes that there is a good faith characterization applied fairly to all speech which calls for violence.

What you see in the United States is that this characterization is applied in bad faith based on one's political motives, and ignored in other situations.

There appear to be situations where "you need to fight" is taken literally when the speaker is an opponent, and taken metaphorically when the speaker is an ally.

This is all happening outside of a legal process, so there is no mechanism to ensure that this is happening according to any standards or principles. If you bring speech laws into the conversation, those are applied within a legal system, which would be designed in some way to prevent the arbitrary application of standards.

Charitable interpretations of the words of favoured public figures versus the worst possible interpretation of similar, perhaps even more benign statements, by public figures who are opposed. If there is an intention for laws to police speech, then they ought to be applied fairly, else they are the whims of whomever is in power to apply and enforce them. The media corporations (legacy and new) don't seem to be applying an equal standard to all speakers, which is their right, but it is important to discuss what happens when they exercise their rights in this manner.
Really depends on the activity. For any activity where overuse injuries are common, it’s probably a good heuristic.

I consider myself reasonably fit, but I’m not sure any of the activities I do strictly require physical pain. Soreness? Fatigue? Sure. But rarely pain, unless I’ve made a mistake.
My opinion keeps changing on this one. Sometimes a non-author user will come by and say "this is happening to me too and here's some helpful logs". But other times a non-author user will just drive by and say "+1 any solution?". The former should reset the stale timer, the latter should not.

I think in the end this depends on the project. In the end you need humans to pay attention to ongoing conversations or you'll always get some cases wrong.
It's a false dichotomy. Both can coexist.
What I don't get though is how people are satisfied paying so much in fees for sending coins. I get that bitcoin isn't really used as a currency but as digital gold. But still, so much money simply wasted.

At least considering an exchange like coinbase. Perhaps there is a way to send/buy/sell bitcoin at nearly no cost that I am not aware of.
Ah, indeed, no true scotsman would pollute the planet, don't be daft!

We are not blessed to be living in a perfect world that can be set up for an ideal market system. For the last four decades, these externalities have gotten ramped up to fever pitch. I'm interested in your take on how, in this world, we get to a point where ALL of the above consequences can be forestalled through HN's favourite hard-on: deregulation and market forces run amok.
I have some reservations about Bitcoin but I understand it a heck of a lot better than the reporter interviewed here.

That was painful to listen to and a stark reminder of Gell-Mann amnesia.

The UK's FCA took the right step in banning consumer investments in crypto derivative products, which isn't remotely the same thing as purchasing the underlying assets without leverage.

There's plenty more to nitpick about the simplifications he uses losing fundamental aspects that undergird the system and make it work.

It's fascinating to watch naïve journalists and the HN crowd wring their hands year after year about a new technology that enables a cohort of low-trusting individuals and institutions to defect in a game theoretic sense from the unwritten rules of Western society and economics. A possibility that simply didn't exist before, and which Bitcoin first enabled.

My gut sense is that if people had a wider world view, grew up with and truly knew people from across the spectrum of humanity, and perhaps were keener students of world history they would hold an appreciation and fascination of Bitcoin rather than reflexively ostriching at new technology that questions the status quo. You don't have to love it or like it, but unemotional fascination is warranted.

At any rate I desperately wish the level of discourse on Bitcoin was higher here. It's embarrassing to read HN threads on Bitcoin, arguably fremdscham inducing.
On the other hand I casually looked through settings and found it immediately looking for something entirely different. Settings have a not overwhelming amount of lines each page so a quick glance led me to set whatever I wanted in the first place and things I found out by opportunity
Having similarities doesn't mean something is a crappy version. What's behind the similarities is different as well, for example the reason for their obsession with the past. I'm sure you can find similarities between many stories when you do it in such a vague way.

Besides that, there's more to those books than the main plot. I always assumed that TGG is this well regarded because of themes it handles and how they're presented by the story of Gatsby. The same goes for The Count of Monte Cristo. I find them to be too different to call on even a version of the other, let alone a crappy one.
