The assassination of Yitzhak Rabin is said to have been the most successful political assassination in history. It changed the tide for real, in the way that the assassin strived for.
This makes me think, with the arrival of continuous querying:

* kSQL' EMIT CHANGES

* Spark has stream-stream JOINs

* Flink's default behavior ('time-varying relations') is to emit the changes

* Materialize's value proposition is centered around event-streaming, and has Live Materialized Views.

, is there a need for a client-side reactive SQL lib (react plugin?) where reactive data management would be done on continuous queries?

If your client data is only a slice (CREATE VIEW slices AS SELECT .. JOIN .. ON .. = u.user_id [WHERE ..][GROUP BY ..]) of your server data, wouldn't it:

* help a lot in cache management (as in: none to do. If you get reactive updates on changed data you don't need a cache)

* help in moving client-side logic server-side, and vice versa (since it would be expressed in the same language)

I mean: is there a market for it? Some people really do like SQL, I know I do.
That wouldn't provide any real solution to the region's political problems. Jewish people make up some 75% of the country. The only way to turn Israel into an Islamic state would be through conquest. The country would still have Occupied Territories except the map would be inverted.
Sure. abrahamic religions historically have used violence and the threat thereof to steal the fruits of our labor. For example, No institution profited as much off of the African slave trade than the church of england. Sure some of that money was used for education and hospitals. Yay god.
Whats worse for the planet are governments, like those in Venezuela, that are causing so much human suffering that their population needs the existence of BTC to survive.
My understanding, from US based hiring perspective, is that MS degree is purely for getting ahead of existing competition in the job market, to potentially stand out among vast pools of BS grads applying for the same position. Moreover, I also believe going through the formal degree helps later in career for rapidly learning new tools/frameworks/languages that is ever changing in industry. I might be biased though and sample size is very small (looking at Austin, Texas's hiring landscape).
What would those companies do for leverage against the platforms?

Paying a fee to such a company is one thing, but I'd imagine having them force you and everyone else in their portfolio into a boycott of the platform would be a tough sell, especially as long as said portfolio is still too small to have an effect.
The reading level is probably the best gauge for whether an average person will understand what you're saying. If it's reading level 14, that means post high school. Most people in the US graduate from high school with an 8th or 9th grade reading level. So a piece with a 14th-grade reading level will be completely beyond them.
> Good tests enable refactoring.

I don't disagree. So when I do find tests that inhibit refactoring, what do you suppose I infer about those tests?
Thanks! I'd love to attend training sessions and observe. I am available through the website chat and other DMs are open.
I think this is down to the way Google implemented labels. I looked into this when I moved all my email off Google's servers and noticed they just list them as folders on IMAP, so a client would have to implement a special google-specific way of dealing with them. There are other ways to implement labels in IMAP (I've forgotten the exact details but I did it successfully while interacting with the IMAP server using `openssl s_client`).
"Too aggressive" is just, like, your opinion, man. There are tons of workloads where only maximum throughput or lowest latency are important and the operators of those systems don't care one jot about side channel attacks.
Exactly. Although I do want to add that money can be both money, and a store of value. Gold, being the main primary example.
> But I also had one boss who did not want to hire one woman because " what happens when she gets pregnant"

This is perhaps an example where extending parental leave benefits to both parents solves both ends of the problem. Men also may leave if they choose to expand their family, and women aren't pressured into more child care than they prefer due to the men not having parental leave to help.

> They are in avg more social

Careful with these generalizations. Women get placed in impossible behavioral expectations. Told to be more assertive, but then perceived differently than men when they are.
Why would BTC adoption crash the value of Microsoft?
It's tough to say what the new Apple TV+ programming with Malala is going to actually be like, but programming coming from one person's production company and relying on that one person's persona is quite possibly not a great fit for public media.

On the other hand, it's quite possible some of the content will end up being licensed to play on PBS or something. Right now it's anyone's guess.

> Free speech is about protecting the right of the un-popular and views that some may find utterly repugnant

Wrong. From the third paragraph of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech

"""Freedom of speech and expression, therefore, may not be recognized as being absolute, and common limitations or boundaries to freedom of speech relate to libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, fighting words, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, food labeling, non-disclosure agreements, the right to privacy, dignity, the right to be forgotten, public security, and perjury. Justifications for such include the harm principle, proposed by John Stuart Mill in On Liberty, which suggests that "the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others."[4]"""

First, offensive caricatures can fall squarely into "libel" and "slander" and harming someone's dignity.

Second, EBay is not being forced to delist the books by the government.

Part of the problem with Apple TV+ is that it isn't available in many places. For reasons that are unclear to me, there isn't an app for either Samsung or LG (unless it's a 2019 or later model TV).

So many non tech people aren't even aware that there is a service.
Only conclusion to be made about bitcoin: Must be a Banksy.

And to really rub it in at some point the master key to all transactions will be released.
This is true of GSuite generally. So long as you need fairly basic functionality (which is all a lot of people need), its simplicity is a virtue and it works well. I prefer it to Microsoft Office 99% of the time. (Though I sometimes need Office for interoperability as well.)

I used to sometimes have to run massive spreadsheets. But these days, I mostly use it for things like personal activity tracking.
At least for the EMV standard the card definitely knows the transaction amount; it's one of the core fields of the transaction that's signed by the chip on the card iff it meets the restrictions configured in it.

Of course, the issuing bank may charge some extra fee on top afterwards, but the amount that the chip card sees and signs should be the exact same number that the POS system would print onto a receipt as the transaction amount.
>Even arguments about renewable energy being used to mine BTC are moot, because they don't consider the opportunity cost of what could be done with all that energy instead.

If I launch a BTC miner into space and use a star to power it, will you worry about what else could have been done with that energy?

The more remote the energy source, the higher the cost to deliver it to a centralized grid, meaning it will probably be wasted anyway if it can't easily be converted into an easier to transmit form, BTC. Rather beam internet through space than attempt to beam energy.
That's a separate issue from dependency management entirely. Check out Repl.it's universal package manager if you want an idea of how we are solving the problem.
Upsolve | $250 million in debt relieved for low-income families | NYC or Remote | Full-time | $150k-$175k | https://upsolve.org

Upsolve is a nonprofit that helps low-income families file bankruptcy for free, using an online web app. To date, we've relieved over $250 million in debt for our users.

At Upsolve, we believe every family should be able to access their civil rights, regardless of whether they can afford a lawyer. Bankruptcy is a powerful tool that allows low-income families to relieve their debt and re-enter the economy after suffering from medical bills, layoffs, and predatory loans. Due to COVID-19, it's more important than ever.

But legal fees in bankruptcy are too expensive for low-income families who need access. We're making this critical part of the American safety net free and accessible at scale, using technology.

I have nothing but good things to say about the Xbox game pass but I absolutely loathe the recent push for Xbox (and even Steam) to become some sort of social media platform. Sure, sometimes its fun to play with friends but quite often I just want to be left alone while I play and recently that seems to be (intentionally) more and more difficult.
I believe that misses my point.

OP seems to be suggesting that people should "do as the romans do", and I said while I agree with the general idea, his suggestion doesn't fit the case in hand.

In this case half of romans are verifiably not bothered [1] by the act of building minarets, then this simple act doesn't signal that people "go there without a degree of humility and willingness to adapt", in his words.

Or you could turn it around and say, if (having ability to) building minarets was such an unacceptable expectation to a point of painting one as a colonist, it wouldn't gather the support it gathered from the local community in the first place.

[1] to the extent of participating in a political process to explicitly disagree with the ban.
Could you explain how cybernetics is outside the current paradigm? It's "just" control theory no?

> To put it another way, there’s this really common but terrible idea that tests should map to your current implementation rather than the behaviour you want.

I think if you were prioritizing, then the most bang for the buck comes from making your white box tests as stupid-simple as you possibly can. Since those demand a particular implementation.
> Using your housing example again, it doesn't really matter if a house cost $200k 20 years ago and costs $400k now, as long as wages doubled over the same period, all things equal. Inflation is fine (for the purposes of buying a house) as long as wages rise to match that increase.

You are missing one crucial aspect: interest rates. 20 years ago, typical interest rate was 8%, so mortgage payments on $200k house were something like $1400/mo. With today’s rate of something like 3.2%, the payments on $400k house are something like $1700/mo, which is 20% higher. To keep the affordability the same between now and then, the nominal wages need only grow 20%, and if they actually doubled, this would hugely increase affordability.

Array{Number} is an array of objects with unknown type and size, basically an array of pointers with possibly totally different method implementations.

Array{:<Number} is when LLVM gets the exact type at compile time and can optimize the code using SSE instructions.

You have a factor of 10 between execution, and if you are not experienced, you don't understand why your code is slow and why the garbage collector kicks in so hard.

I’m also enjoying Gamepass, especially when the alternate trend that’s been making buckets of money for the industry is microtransactions. Yes, I absolutely wish that the model of just making a really good game and selling it directly was the standard. But hey, we live in an economic system that demands unlimited revenue growth and out of all the options that preserve the creation of games that I like to play, subscriptions are by far the best option. If you don’t like it, take it up with capitalism.
This is precisely why those other chains are only imitators with no true value. The longest chain is bitcoin, and all the forks thereof are imitations that hold no value or network effect. This will always be the case when someone tries to fork Bitcoin rather than actually do some new cryptographic work.
Well they could become an integral part, so nothing wrong with that. However it would not be bitcoin. The projects who actually work with financial institutions have one thing in common, they dont use PoW.
You can read it every day, most powerful people talk bad about bitcoin and some even endorse other cryptos.

Deflation on its own is not a problem. Gold is deflationary too that does not cause a depression. It did once but because of the connection between gold and money (fiat). Now days if there would be a gold bubble, the central banks hold most of it and could simply dump the price by selling some. They can buy back with printed money and sell higher to crash it and repeat while unofficially "inform" the right people to short it. As long as the printed fiat still is widely accepted they can fight any deflation bubble from any asset with it. Its the whole point of central banks. They play outside of the rules of all other financial institution with the sole goal to manipulate the market into being somewhat stable.
It doesn't really matter that gold would not go to zero and probably even would make a new ATH some yeas later. Busting the bubble is enough of a fix for many many years until the next bubble comes.
Its still deflationary but most people dont think in decades and more.

Let me try to extend on my comment a bit. I think going through the nerd experience when growing up does equip you with a certain moral compass that is quite useful in interactions such as the ones described in the article, but also for our digital age in particular.

First, you are much more empathetic (especially towards ostracized people or those shunned for nerd interests) because you know what suffering feels like, and can relate to people who are suffering. Your alarm bells will ring when there are signs of irrational decisions driven by group think. Hackers are very aware of the meaning behind principles like „don’t shoot the messenger“.

Second, your interests have shown you both utopian (Star Trek) and dystopian (1984, Blade Runner) outcomes of society, and you have discussed these possibilities in online forums or with your nerd circle (of all creatures) for nights. These patterns studied in depth are difficult to ignore and not speak up about when your company makes decisions that lead either way.

I‘d hang out and nerd around about the latest fringe obsessions with the slightly overweight guy who behaves a bit clumsily around women due to insecurity (not because he is outright sexist), but is generally reflected and tries not to do harm at any time. I’ve got a strong aversion against the borderline bullying and cocky „tech bro“ who just wants money and the privilege to control anyone he wants (including girls), never daydreamed about tech utopias, and doesn’t consider the implications of his actions (on a personal or on a societal level) in the slightest. This is likely an unconscious pattern learned in the hard way when growing up. I can’t explain some things I’m seeing in tech by anything but that those who did not live through the nerd experience bullied their way into taking over control.
While bitcoin is definitely used for selling drugs or other illegal stuff (not saying I think drugs should be illegal, quite the opposite is the case), I think its use and - more than that - its value increase over the years goes way beyond that. People see it as asset, don't trust their currencies, buy it because of the hype, ... . Even when its use for selling/buying drugs vanishes (which will definitely not be the case everywhere in the world) bitcoin would't lose to much value because of that, in my opinion.
Eh, it's arguable how much the US Government is determining the worth of dollars rather than cultural consensus. I can guarantee that in the event of a zombie apocalypse where the government falls, USD would be used for a long time after.
it doesn't matter, at the end of the day..
do you think open-source OS that is widely used and audited is more secure than closed source OS like Windows?

most infosec community knows the answer. if you know yours well, good. I am not convincing anyone, anything.
I just meant, there is value is looking at things objectively than reading some news articles or opinions said by some bigwigs.
As frustrating as this is 100% of problems I’ve encountered with Google or Facebook in my career have been solved with professional network connections into those companies. OP, I encourage you to examine your network and see if you are connected to FB in a useful way. If you have investors, use them. This is what they’re for.

The only other method I’ve seen work is to make noise in the media and hope someone at Facebook/Google notices. It’s a total crapshoot but sometimes it seems to come out OK.

I’m guessing that this post is an attempt at the latter.

Edit: Oh, and, stop trying to analyze your users without their consent! You’d be surprised how giving early adopters are when you show them a little trust.
Isn’t the alternative I see oft bemoaned here that if you don’t pay, you are the product? I’ve been content to pay them for a couple years, hoping it keeps them updating and ad-free. Thus, I don’t think there was a change in terms of the deal for me in this case. While $36/year felt high relative to, say, my cloud storage costs, but it seems hard to me to then follow the claim that ditching them for a competitor is now impossible. Just seems that it wasn’t worth his time for that amount of money?
One of the main excel advantages come from the fact that the app presents useful features and never changed their interface. Unlike modern software that try to change their workflow to "improve" it, excel has kept the same stable interface for decades. This allows people to create workflows built on the software, not fighting it. Excel users know that the interface they employ will be stable for another 20 years, or even more. Very few applications can say this, the other ones I know of including Vim and Emacs.
Yeah, I can't imagine why all of us Jews aren't voting for the policy of an Islamic State in the Levant. That platform has obviously never been tried before, certainly not by the region's most disgustingly, genocidally evil terrorist group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

Show HN: I'm making an integrated learning tool, like Anki and Workflowy in one
>How can humans not be the cause humanity's biggest problems?

Think in simpler terms, like a technology used at work, or a tool used at home; I've been in enough changes in the former that tell me many people believe a new thing will be better than the old thing, even after going through that same process several times.

The introspection needed to understand that people will break the process if they want or need to is hard to come by.
Horrendous? Strongly disagree if you're doing anything non-trivial. As soon as you start mixing the two, both become worse. You're basically losing the UX benefits of native Excel and adding confusion to Pandas.

Yes, Pandas has a learning curve but so does Excel once you get into advanced functionality. It's inevitable. Once you get through this it's a fairly intuitive powerhouse.
Licensed as zlib/png, but binaries are currently €16. It looks like the Unreal integration is being funded in part by a grant from Epic Games.

Interesting to see an open source project in this traditionally high-end boutique market. I think comparable tools include BodyPaint 3D ($995), Substance Painter ($150+), 3DCoat ($99+), and maybe ZBrush ($895) and Mudbox ($7-10 / month).

When I see what textures look like, independent of the model, it's hard to imagine creating them without some kind of painting interface like this.
Maybe true depending on the energy source. I've heard it argued also that bitcoin will become the 'purchaser of last resort' for energy. For example, fracking companies often just burn off natural gas they find while looking for oil... instead, this gas could be used to mine btc. Also well documented that a lot of bitcoin operations in china are fueled by hydroelectric sources.

The promise of violence is free until realized though.

I'm old and in the same boat as you, for many years now. I haven't been to a cash machine in years, because maybe once a year I get someone who wants to pay me in cash for something, so that just becomes my "bank" for the year. I use so little cash that just one person paying me for their part of a nice meal is enough for the entire year. Even the vendors on the side of the road prefer Venmo/PayPal now.
