I find this comment naive in the extreme. There is a strong overlap between areas subject to the worst impacts of climate change, and areas hosting some of the poorest people in the world (or in their countries).

With respect to the "If" statement around countries closing their borders - seriously, where have you been? The sudden and significant rise in popularity of the far-right in Europe almost coincides to the Syrian refugee crisis, and that was roughly one million people. In my country (Australia) we give our Pacific islands neighbours platitudes while still pushing coal on the rest of the world, and then indefinitely detain those seeking asylum for years (including years after they've been assessed as legitimate refugees). Countries are now proposing the Australian approach to "protect" their own borders. To think that this issue (of climate-change forced population movements) will not cause existential threats for those people is plainly wrong.
From what I understand if you buy his album you can resell it for whatever price you want.
There's a bit of confusion in the comments a about the company. I had researched it a bit while interviewing there so I want to clarify although what I say will not be complete.

First compass is a real estate agency. They have agents (realtors) all over the country and the way they make money is through real estate commission.

To the extent that they have a public facing real estate search site akin to zillow, I believe the point is that it connects people with compass agents to represent them (whereas I think on zillow/trulia is just connects you to randos who paid for leads)

However the primary angle is that compass builds great tools for their agents. So the idea is that the tech makes the agents better at their jobs which in turn helps them service buyers and sellers better which in turn drives business.

I can see this angle make sense.

We are currently house shopping (not via a compass agent) and the agency's it system is clearly not that great for either us or the agent (eg when they send us listings it's not that smooth). Presumably would have been way better tech wise if we went w compass.

So that's the angle I think. Their tech and product people are solid, from my conversation. Lots of ex FAANG folks.

And finally there are comments below that don't understand why a realtor can charge the commission they do - it's because they are enabling you to navigate a high stakes, non commodity transaction and their local knowledge/network/etc matters. You could certainly try to do it yourself but unless you are going to dedicate full time to it you will just never buy anything except in a truly buyer's markets which we are not in.

I use a couple of Aqara sensors to report temperature back to my Home Assistant instance via a HUSBZB-1 USB Zigbee dongle[0]. They work pretty well, although they report data pretty infrequently absent any large temperature swings, so not great for data-viz purposes.

I'm not at all surprised the hub thing constantly chats with its family back in China, but a properly security-paranoid home automation aficionado wouldn't be caught dead giving some proprietary black box power and network inside their own home.

As far as my understanding goes the nature vs. nurture debate in psychology is really old school. Like it was fairly concluded before The Bell Curve came out in the mid nineties and argued in favor of nature.

As I understand it that arguing nature vs. nurture usually stems from badly defined concepts often defined in terms of how they are measured (e. Operationally defined). What happens then is that you get a bunch of correlation between various concepts just because one concept pollutes into another, not because of how we are geared. Nature vs. nurture is also an awfully dualistic approach and completely misses (or ignores) interaction effects.

To tie this into this thread. GP is not saying that nurture defines personality as opposed to nature. They are simply claiming that it is malleable. How malleable, under which circumstances, malleable to what, which aspects, etc. are all still open questions which may be ascribed to ones genes (and maybe not; hence the open question). This is the interaction effect which the dualistic nature vs. nurture debate completely misses.

I would actually go further then GP and say that the question is flawed. Personality is not a useful psychological concept and does not describe behavior any better then, say, political leaning, religion, or how many languages you speak. That is to say, measuring personality and categorizing people based on personality traits brings us no closer in understanding human behavior. That is to say, measuring personalities and ascribing traits is not only harmful—like GP says—but also bad psychology.
> Daniel Levitin: what makes each musical era distinctive: timbre was, in his opinion, the single most important factor

That's a fascinating idea; I googled and found what might be the story you're looking for:

[quote]

In the best seller “This is your brain on music” by Daniel Levitin, he talks about John R. Pierce (inventor of the travelling wave vacuum tube and the first telecommunications satellite) who, interested to discover rock music, asked him to summarize the genre in a concise list of six songs. Levitin ended up with a list of songs from Little Richards, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Prince and the Sex Pistols.

Interestingly, while listening, Pierce was not really interested by the songs themselves, their melodies, their harmonic structures or their rhythm characteristics, but he said he found the “timbres” to be remarkable and described them as being new, unfamiliar, and exciting.

Levitin concludes his story by saying: “The way in which instruments were combined to create a unified whole - bass, drums, electric and acoustic guitars, and voice – that was something he (Pierce) had never heard before. Timbre was what defined rock for Pierce. And it was a revelation for both of us.”

Quoted from "An Overview of the Concept of Timbre and its Use in Contemporary Music and Record Production" by Mathieu Bedwani

> This is a weird case, because it was a retroactive charge not explicitly authorized by the card holder. That kind of thing rarely happens

And that is a feature of the trade-in buy flow and not how the purchaser chose to pay. Which is my point exactly which you have been trying to dispute.

> The whole thing was explained in the article, we know exactly what happened.

No we don’t. The article simply says their balance was not being paid. It’s possible that the trade in charge put them over their credit limit and that’s why it was declined. They never confirm otherwise.

Collisions are not frequent enough to need a real time updated log. I believe Wikipedia's list of 4 unintentional high speed collisions is exhaustive: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_collision
Undefined behavior is a problem for projects that are not testing certain conditions under certain compiler configurations. Every time you see these problems happening, the reason is that developers not only wrote incorrect (undefined) code, but also didn't test the code path that was affected. While I agree that a compiler should do a better job, ultimately the responsibility is on programmers (especially with the C language, where this has always been the unwritten contract).

> The differences between the 6809 and modern architectures makes for some interesting learning!

Funnily enough, the 6809 is by far the most "modern" 8-bit design. It was the last major one, released after the Intel 8086 and some other 16 bit designs.

Stack-relative addressing (with two stacks!), position-independent code, 16 bit arithmetic, hardware multiplication, and high code density. Very nice compared with the likes of the Z80 or 6502.

You're speaking from actual experience, aren't you? I tried out IPFS and came to the same conclusion myself. Content has to be kept alive or it disappears forever, and keeping it alive requires some kind of investment.

I like IPFS, I want it to succeed, but HN has these romantic ideas about IPFS that don't quite match reality, and you get downvoted for being honest sometimes. Not acknowledging the limits of IPFS are part of what holds it back...
Are these imgur problems a USA thing? Because I literally never had any of the behavior described. Direct image links always go to the image, there is no JS or HTML or anything.
It's funny how these summaries always look for the most optimistic take. The headline says Bitcoin could become the currency for international trade. The quote down lower says Bitcoin could become a currency for international trade:

> "A focus on global reach and neutrality could see bitcoin become an international trade currency"

It's not clear why Bitcoin, specifically, would be the currency of choice for international trade when any number of stablecoin alternatives (other than Tether) seem far more suitable for actually exchanging money.

If PayPal announced a new international payment system that used shares of PayPal as the underlying currency for transfers, everyone would roll their eyes at the obvious ploy to confuse payments with currency with stock prices. Yet that's essentially what would happen if we used Bitcoin for international payments like this.

If I remember correctly simple turbo pump feed engines have to run using a lot of excess fuel. Simple designs just dump the turbine exhaust overboard. That represents a fair amount of wasted energy. Advanced designs feed the exhaust back into the engine. I think they also scavenge some energy from cooling the nozzle.

> Today I can put an App Store charge on my Chase card and do a chargeback making up some stupid reason that I never got my app in which the chargeback would be successful. It's not entirely out of the question that Apple would lock my account until that charge is resolved.

Yes, we're all aware of chargebacks, and nobody is disputing that you would owe Apple in that situation. Not sure how this really helps the argument.

The issue here is that the Apple Card seems to completely obliterate any separation between the merchant and the bank, which is obviously problematic. In fact there are 3 different things that you would expect to have some separation: the hardware (MacBook Pro), the services (iCloud), and the credit card. But now all 3 are the same, so buying the hardware with the credit card causes the service to be shut down.

Whereas if the hardware were Dell, the service was Google, and the credit card was Chase, then this problem wouldn't exist, and it would merely be an issue between Chase and the card holder, not affecting the Google services at all.
I don't know why you think magic is needed to implement malloc(). It can be readily implemented in C. It controls a range of memory and doles out chunks upon request. Doing that in a system with an MMU requires hardware interaction to handle virtual memory but that isn't outside of the wheelhouse for C.
There is Baseband Management on the Honeycomb. It isn't an Aspeed in features, but it isn't a Aspeed in power consumption either.

I wouldn't call this cheating though. Audio compression makes use of the mental way we perceive sound. If a sound artefact is perceived to sound more clear when it is louder compared to another one with the same compression bitrate yet less volume I would say this falls into the category psychoaccoustic compression
> I truly don't understand, from a security and privacy perspective, why would anyone would voluntarily choose to run closed-source software from a company that's subject to domestic laws and regulations in the United States.

Fixed that for you. Xiaomi offer an official bootlock unloader for their shitty MIUI roms which no one else on the planet does and is one of two companies out there that sells stock android phones. They are the easiest mobiles on the planet to install LineageOS on.

Imagine being on HackerNews and not at least slightly acknowledging the fact this company makes the most hacker friendly phones on Earth. It's honestly embarrassing.

Feel free to sniff the packets on any other device and realise how prevalent phonehomes are and how the eyes can access all of it on a whim if it's going to non-Chinese companies.

If you were an activist in the Western world I would only recommend a Chinese phone to protect yourself.

> I've never owned a credit card that would allow me to "block" a merchant from charging me

American Express will let you do it, but it can (as far as I can tell) only be done with a phone call.
I agree. I have charged an Apple product on a credit card which was invalid by the time the product shipped (iPhone pre-order), and at no point did Apple try to randomly charge other payment methods they had for me. In fact, at the time I found this frustrating because my pre-order ended up being cancelled.

Acme doesn't work in a terminal. Acme is a window manager that can edit text, use multiple fonts simultaneously, revolves around the mouse and has near-perfect synchronicity with the underlying system. Edit's long-term goals list is more or less "become more like Acme."[1]

It would be incredibly unfortunate to sacrifice the ability to become more like Acme by shooting yourself in the foot and making it terminal-based, and anyone really in the market for acme with vi characteristics or vice versa probably would realize why the paradigm doesn't work in a purely-TUI manner.

I got nada for a “true” 90 turn...

How about a smooth change in direction? This might be weird enough to be interesting in its own right. In that case picture a satellite in a highly elliptical orbit, where you catch it near apogee, and assuming conditions are such that you can see it (big enough shiny surface/close enough to earth for human eyes, sunlit) then the earth could “outrun” it for a bit while the sat. is at its slowest, and the craft might trace a loop out in the sky, or (presumably) some other curve depending out your relative line of sight, etc.

Edit: trying to remember if there was a more official name for this orbit. Perhaps a Molniya orbit could give the ground based observer a loop?

Even though a few people hinted this had to do with Plan 9, I had to look up that Acme refers to a window-system, shell, and editor environment. Here's a link to save you a search if you're in the same boat:

Several credit cards allow you to generate a new card number to use with a specific merchant. This allows you to shut down that number once you no longer want to be billed by them.

It's a little more work, but foolproof.

A Look into Automatic Reference Counting
It's a small article I wrote while reading about ARC and the answers to the questions I had while I was reading about it. Might help if people are preparing for interviews or just want to brush up on those concepts again.

I'll check out CollapseOS!

The sandstorm community is still going. The app developers are interested, but the platform itself has not received much love. For my own goals, (1) getting ARM support (which includes customizing seccomp for the ARM; patching the sandstorm app package format; and getting a good developer story), and (2) enabling IPFS.

A kind of practical user-facing goal for integrating IPFS would be to decentralize the sandstorm app store.

What I am finding is that the design goals for sandstorm looks like it was originally intended to be deployed in the cloud, whereas I'd like to see individuals and communities empowered to run sandstorm for their local community.
Not all packets are created equal. ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) cells have a fixed 48-byte payload, but IP (Internet Protocol) packets have longer headers and variable-length payloads up to about 1500 bytes. ATM is designed for low latency audio transfer, whereas IP incentivizes using bigger packets to reduce overhead at the expense of more latency.
First thought: AirBnB didnt really innovate. There was VRBO before it. They somehow got traction through a slightly better platform and more marketing/word-of-mouth. They built a better mousetrap.

Second thought: AirBnB is a marketplace. You have sellers and buyers meeting in a tech-enabled environment with rail guards in place to protect the customer experience (reviews + payment middleman + etc..)

As a recent home purchaser, I totally agree the process needs a revamp. But how does that happen when you're still boasting 10s of 1000s of brokers on your platform. The middleman is still there.
He said that IPFS hosting is the "primary responsibility of a single party". The whole idea behind peer to peer is to avoid precisely that.
Chromes "Software Reporter Tool" basically scans your whole computer and sends that data off to Google/NSA. It's literal spyware.

Firefox doesn't do this.
Chargeback is to establish that Apple can shutdown your services if Apple thinks you owe them money.

Dustin was erroneously credited for something from Apple, and now Apple shutdown his account because they want the money back. This would have happened if it was a Chase card which would prove this statement wrong (which is my whole point):

" the main issue is that Apple shut down his other Apple services because of non-payment. This presumably wouldn't happen if the charge was on a non-Apple card."
