We are talking about Black representation at Google. Why are you both acting like this conversation is about “low income people” who “ride bicycles to work to make barely above minimum wage?”

Among people in the top 20% of
income ages 40-50 (a reasonable proxy for the households where most Google employees grew up), 7% are Black compared to 12% of the overall population that is Black. It’s ignorant to turn every issue involving Black people into a discussion of inner city poverty. (And especially ignorant in the context of discussing HBCUs, as in this article, which are a pillar of the Black upper middle class.)
Yeah, 14-segment displays aren't much more expensive but you get alphanumeric. :)

so striking that there are so few perceived opportunities left in the world. this article is about "digitization" not being sufficient to repair an economy, but what is? what uses are there for people? what do we try to become?

it's certainly chilling to me that here in the US the service industry had been taking an ever growing share of economy. i could use a better outlook for sure but it feels like the industry of attending to the wealthy, only productive in a certain light.
> The MAX is a bad aeronautical design that Boeing made more "controllable" through additional control system engineering. Problem is, the additional control system engineering was pretty bad.

Yeah, it's really frustrating that the solution was already a band-aid, and they didn't even bother to do that properly so they covered up what was questionably fraud (the lazy way of not getting a new certification) with what was unquestionably fraud (lying about the MCAS system).

What's really sad though is it exposes just how defanged the FAA has become over the years, so now who the hell do we rely on to tell us what's safe for aviation?
Anybody who's discussing the quite unique tax situation around charity in the US, should give Dark Money by Jane Mayer a read. This uniqueness isn't by accident, and only is called charity as a minor, inconvenient side effect.
Poor Jews have risen to success in every country they’ve migrated to. Poor Blacks mostly have remained poor. I think it’s mainly an IQ difference.

It would probably be too slow (or you'd need crazy high pressure). The mosquito would have plenty of time tom ove out of the way, especially since it will probably make a sound when shooting the liquid. The advantage of using a laser is that it's basically instant and quiet.
This is true but battery bars can be removed. I've got enough 5000mah SubC packs with one bad cell that I could probably make an entire good pack.

I think it’s less prone to that problem if you take a holistic approach when evaluating whether a loan should be repaid, rather than applying very narrow criteria such as “must be spent on a new building”.
Eh, no. You must be young. Email works perfectly on low bw conns. So does IRC, and Gopher.
IIRC, “Simply Scheme” describes several different recursion patterns, and it provides a number of exercises that match each pattern.
I did my first programming on one of these, translating text games (bitmapped graphics were possible with the 16K RAM pack, but I didn't have one of those for a long time) from a book of them written for the TRS-80. The combination of having to translate between dialects of BASIC and having to "translate" game features to match the ZX81's reduced capabilities was a great practical exercise in inventiveness and perseverance. I particularly remember a Star Trek combat game that ended up taking up so much of the onboard RAM (one whole kilobyte!) that it started eating into the screen buffer, reducing the number of lines the computer could display. I think I ended up with one or two lines of text telling me what was going on, and one line of input for my next command.

Today, I work at Amazon as a senior software engineer. I believe having access to this affordable[1] computer as a teenager helped make that career path possible.

[1] The TRS-80 and other contemporaries of the ZX81 were very not-affordable to my family at the time.

For a seven figure potential loss, this probably justifies a raspberry pi or two, on different UPSes, hooked up to backup sensors that can email a few different supervisors when the parameters exit the acceptable envelope.
Ask HN: A clipboard tool that strips tracker ids from URLs
Hi, I like to share a lot of links with friends, co-workers and whomever is interested. However, I keep finding more and more tracking IDs in the URLs. To name a few are the ?si= in Spotify URLS and the ?glicd in Google urls. I'm sure there are plentimore, but I'd reckon there must exist some tool for Windows / Mac that allows the user to configure tags that need to be stripped from the URL when copying.
It'll save me the hassle of doing it manually now, which is sometimes tend to forget as well.
I imagine someone donating millions is using a donor advised fund to do the lending. By using a fund, they can recognize the donation for tax purposes while lending the money to a separate non-profit.

There is no market rate for electricity in any reasonable country. Electric generation is one of these things the free market doesn't do well, so the vast majority of electricity markets are either completely state operated (as in Canada, much of Europe, China, etc...), or highly subsidized.

The first is way more efficient and allows for much lower electricity rates, and the second is the only way to get the economics right to allow for growth.

That comes inevitably with regulatory restrictions on what you can do and how you can do it. Forbidding people using coal power to mine bitcoin is more than reasonable and indeed typical as far as energy use regulations go.
I'm not quite sure what point you're trying to make, could you explain? Are you making the argument that society isn't biased against black people?
In regards to assumption 1: zig's documentation isn't the greatest, and it's still pre 1.0 which may have turned many potential users away for the moment.

I encounter creative folks who really don't like Slack's notification system, and hate how the workplace has become a bunch of impersonal pings.

Can you talk a bit about the tech stack? How is your video handled and are you using any services worth noting?

One thing that Slack is useful for is an accumulation of a searchable knowledge base. Do you have any plans to make the videos searchable and/or are closed threads/conversations deleted to the end user?

Overall - this makes so much sense. At the beginning of the Covid lockdowns, my wife started regularly using MarcoPolo to keep in touch with her friends. She loved the semi-serendipitous messages and intimacy exchanged. This is definitely missing in the workplace.

Congrats on launching.
I wonder if the safety concerns of nuclear power are understated. Whenever nuclear power safety is brought up, Chernobyl and 3 mile island are hand-waved away because we know what caused them and won't do them again.

But there is always another stupid way to manage nuclear power. For example, not providing sufficient protection from Tsunamis in a country prone to them.

Included in safety should be the economic cost of having a city ruined and its inhabitants displaced - that loss of wealth means increased stress and less money to spend on healthy habits. (But conversely, the benefit of lower power costs should be recorded on the credit side of the ledger.)

It's probably all moot, since Thorium reactors appear to be fundamentally safe.
I can see that this could be exploited by drug dealers creating local anonymous marketplaces or by any resistance movements to coordinate their actions against oppressive governments. Ergo it will be quickly outlawed...
People have been talking about an uptick in human feces found on sidewalks and alleyways in San Francisco recently as though the pandemic is causing more people to choose to go on the street or as a signal of increased homelessness. I think what the article is talking about is a much bigger cause.

If you're in SF, try finding a bathroom to use even if you do have money to spend somewhere. Everyone has closed their bathrooms because of COVID protocols -- I have no idea if this something mandated by law, or something that businesses are doing, but it's nearly impossible to find a place to relieve yourself unless you're near a park with a public restroom.

I don't have a lot of confidence that the local government in SF is ready to solve this on their own, but just like homelessness, it's much larger than a one-city problem and hopefully more attention on things like this will help everyone chip away at the issues.
I regularly run in sub-zero temperatures, and I've never experienced this. My coldest run this year was around -10 F, for an hour. I couldn't tell any difference the next day.

I'm guessing there must be physiological differences that make some people's lungs more or less vulnerable to the cold.

So choose literally every other text editor or IDE, except possibly Vim. There's nothing wrong with not wanted to customize your environment, but don't sour grapes when people get excited about the one tool that actually lets you seriously and relatively easily modify things.
Energy use is allocated by how people spend their money. By choosing how you spend your money, you can choose how the energy is produced. If bitcoin is banned, then people spend their money on something else.

If people buy bitcoin instead of buying a new car, then the net effect on environment is positive, given that car production uses more fossil fuels than bitcoin production.
> They provide some SSD-Mobilenet-v2 here: https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-inference

I was aware of that repository but from taking a cursory look at it I had thought dusty was just converting models from PyTorch to TensorRT, like here[0, 1]. Am I missing something? (EDIT: Oh, never mind. You probably meant the model trained on COCO[2]. Now I remember that I ignored it way back when because I needed much better accuracy.)

This thread is full of conflicting logic. For example:

“No one has the moral authority to tell you what is a good or bad use of energy” followed by “Bitcoin uses less energy than than banking and the military,” implying that these are “bad” uses of energy — and in fact, that’s the entire foundation of the Bitcoin cult! That Bitcoin is better than Fiat, that it’s the righteous currency because of decentralization/etc. When you have God on your side (in this case, Satoshi, someone revered despite having never been revealed as existing...) you can justify anything. Even massive energy waste and pollution.
Zig already has the main advantages of being mainstream: first, it is small and easy to learn, which means you can hire any C/C++/D/Rust programmer, and they'll be productive in no time. Second, it binds to C more easily than any other language (save maybe C++), which means you have access to a wealth of libraries already.

Ironically, neutralising network effects like that is perhaps the best way to make sure Zig becomes mainstream, eventually.
Note that the difference between air from your nose and mouth is that your nose has hairs and a sinus system that warms and filters air. With a system like the above you essentially are doing the same thing.
You can't train above your ventilatory threshold while nose breathing, and boxers are definitely training above that level of intensity, at least for short burts. Fighting is anaerobic.
Trying to DDoS someone because you got banned for saying racist things is the virtual predecessor to the Jan 6th insurrection.
"Around 60% to 70% of bitcoin is currently mined in China, where more than two-thirds of electricity generation comes from coal. But bitcoin mining facilities are concentrated in remote areas of China with rich hydro or wind resources (cheap electricity), with about 80% of Chinese bitcoin mining occurring in hydro-rich Sichuan province. These mining facilities may be absorbing overcapacity in some of these regions, using renewable energy that would otherwise be unused, given difficulties in matching these rich wind and hydro resources with demand centres on the coast."

There's different formats of resume. So while some people do a chronological listing of all their past positions, you can also use the "Skills Resume" format -- where you make a list that breaks out all the individual areas in which you have skills. (And since you're just interested in one client, you can sneakily tailor this list so it includes all the things they're looking for in this position. Just don't make it too obvious that that's what you're doing.) :)

There should be examples on the web. The only thing I'd add is that resume writing is incredibly common -- millions and millions are written every year -- so there's lots and lots of information out there. (There's even services that will help you write a resume.) But also: your high school probably has a guidance counselor whose main job is to help people apply to college, but who might also be able to advise you about writing a resume. (Or at least refer you to someone who will.)

I guess I'm saying: don't be afraid to ask for help. No one's born knowing how to write a resume. And the one thing I never really realized as a teenager was that there's adults who get a good feeling from just knowing that they helped someone. I can imagine there's people who'd be thrilled at a chance to help a teenager write their very first resume -- so if you want someone to help you, you'd probably be able to find someone willing to offer advice.
Success of public restroom infrastructure hinges more on how people think of themselves and their fellow humans, and less about actual pee and poop needs. America lucks the requisite social contracts.
Interesting. It seems to be a similar story in multiple states. I oppose state funded gambling, and this is one reason.

Yep. I never did mind ads in the specialized magazines I was was buying some 15-20 years ago. They were relevant and were not following my eyes during my reading of the rest of the pages (like those awful moving banners). I am OK with the print ads and they can be very helpful.

What we have right now though, nope. I am working on my PiHole and adblock rules regularly and I like it when my pages are clean.
None of that contradicts my points.
> How can you distribute responsibility for design through all levels of a large hierarchy, while still maintaining consistency and harmony of overall design?

This how the author summaries the intent of Christopher Alexander's work. I have not read "A Pattern Language" so it's difficult to say if this is accurate or not. However this is such an important issue in software engineering that I would welcome any ideas to reduce the problem.

I agree when the author that the GoF addressed a lower level problem. However, I'm also disappointed by these slides that provide not hints for a better high-level approach. The GoF patterns form a language for developers speaking to developpers. We also need a language across roles.

I live in Québec. We have state run electricty, which turns a profit and isn't subsidized. It's by far the cheapest in North America, and the essentially the cheapest unsubsidized energy in the world. The grid is also 99.9% renewable (everywhere except for some islands)

So the idea that price controls and nationalization somehow causes inefficiency in this case is just a tale economists tell themselves. In the real world, all of the most successful energy grids use those tools.

In other words, you're arguing against reality.
May be some survivor bias there. In summer I burn ever single time I don't wear sunscreen or extra clothing. In fact I burn on sunny days in winter.
“Evasive bullshitting” - that’s a new term for me. I definitely have done that. It’s where the truth hurts, but you don’t want to “lie” so you base something in truth. But it’s still lying, just makes you feel better because if called on it, you have at least some plausible deniability.
Maybe you didn't mean it quite this way, but: "virtue signalling" is not evil, it's an integral part of human social dynamics, probably since before agriculture. And if you think you never do it, I think you're deluding yourself.
Invest the money with non-zero interest, return the original money, and use the extra to... realistically, pay the salary of the person who did the investing.

The problem is that comptime implies a full compile-time evaluation, while when doing an inline for you only want to unroll over a list of potentially heterogeneous elements but the body of the for loop will remain available for evaluation at runtime, if not all vales are comptime known. In a comptime block that would cause a compile error.

I have an example of that in this blog post: https://kristoff.it/blog/what-is-zig-comptime/

Worth noting that NFTs aren’t just cryptokitties; there is a lot more you can do with them.

ETH NFT refers to the smart contracts that you would use to digitize ownership of a house or any other (physical or financial) unique asset that you might trade.

You can nest an NFT under an ERC20 token, too, so that you can sell partial ownership tokens in your NFT.

Of all the use-cases in crypto, I think digitizing ownership is the one that seems most likely to be actually used for a non-trivial volume of non-speculative trading.

Universities are probably the main mechanism we have for economic mobility in the US.

>things you’d expect to be at least somewhat secure

I feel like with a lot of security or cyber-crime stuff there's a "physician who smokes" dynamic to it where the people who you expect to have great security actually often don't take a lot of precautions. How many hackers end up being exposed because of fairly trivial or random accidents is actually surprising.
Firefox is producing this warning on the `window.addEventListener('deviceorientation', onDeviceOrientation);` line:

No further information. I see no mention of deprecation at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/devi..., so I’m not sure of the true state of affairs. It could have been accidentally tagged along with other functionality that is deprecated.
All it takes is one hit traced to a misconfigured VPN or browser, for example, to learn an IP address and thus real user, at least from a law enforcement perspective… though I suppose the same is true for any honeypot links. Same goes for checking your “anonymous” email, unless the provider is only accessible to check email on Tor, for example. Anonymity, like security, is hard to do 24/7 if someone is actively interested in you…
> It is much more efficient than existing financial systems

I find this really hard to believe. And it would really depend on what you’re measuring. If we look at transactions per second, the numbers aren’t good for Bitcoin. But really, what we’re talking about here is transactions per Watt of power. I’d love to know what these numbers are, but I can’t imagine it looks good for Bitcoin.

Maybe it looks better if you look at the total value of transactions per Watt (fewer transactions, but at high amounts). But then, Bitcoin starts to look more like a reserve currency where the major transactions are between large clearinghouses instead of a totally decentralized monetary system.
I mean, I haven't deployed it on my own servers just because it still requires a kernel fork to enable on Linux. There was an effort to upstream it as of late 2019 though; not sure if that's stalled, but I can understand it taking a long time as I believe it's a pretty big change to the Linux networking stack.

Coal is more expensive in China. So if you're doing something that is reliant on energy and doesn't need to be close to physical supply chains, there is a huge incentive to move to provinces where renewable (cheaper) energy is available.
Can somebody point me to an article that clearly explains exactly what content of Dr. Seuss is problematic?

Unless I'm misreading the page, it is claiming a resolution of 104x78. So that means 8,112 LEDs.

The HDSP-2132 is made of 8 character elements, each element has a resolution of 5x7. So a 80x24 terminal would have a resolution of 400x168... 67,200 LEDs.

So about a magnitude off, even before ignoring the built in character spacing :)
