I will confess I didn't believe you, which makes me ashamed since I work in finance. But then I went to the Shanghai stock exchange and their English language website uses red for losses and green for gains, but if you switch to the Mandarin website, it's the complete opposite. I appreciate that insight.

> As it is though, most people just don't know any other consistent, repeatable way to break a complex system down.

I think MVC is that. It's just vague enough that you can square-peg-round-hole almost anything into it, but it's also pretty prescriptive in that there are exactly three "components" to your program and each has a specific role and relationship to the others.
You may be thinking of Indistinguishability Obfuscation. Current FHE algorithms (e.g. those undergoing standardization: https://homomorphicencryption.org/) don't provide IO. The compute provider knows the exact graph that is being computed, but, in the most secure scenario, they don't get to know the inputs and outputs of each node in the graph. The node operation (which can be only addition or multiplication) must be known to the compute provider so they can perform the correct mathematical transforms on the encrypted data.
The backlash demo near the end is the most interesting to me.
The Internet doesn't have to be awful
But the author gave a perfectly reasonable alternative solution: put destructive actions reasonably far from common non-destructive ones. There are many other valid approaches: e.g. Chrome prompts "Hold cmd+q to quit" if you fat-finger it. Github asks you to type out the name of repo if you press the delete repo button. Just make the odd-one-out action different in some significant way.

Aged like milk
It's not freely available, i.e. at zero cost. This is not the same as not publicly available, which it definitely is.

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26279292 .

This has been misrepresented both in the headline here, and by some commenters both here and on Twitter. The original Twitter post clearly talked about economic value and downloading copies for free, not about hiding things from the public. Notions of economic value and charging the highest price that the market can bear are a very different discussion to not publicly available.
definitely at least when it comes to cyber security.
Lets see here:

Not open source: check

Not federated (so they can force you to update the client): check

Integrates with carrier value add: check (SIM crap)

Integrates with OS vendor value add: check

Flashy website with third party requests to google.com: check

Yeah this looks like crap to me.
Flynn's Taxonomy
People were buying a lottery ticket. The difference in this case is that there were no jackpot winners.
Usually when you're reading a standard like that it's because you're looking for details from an implementer's perspective, not the user's. The specifications have to make everything including the obvious details explicit, which leads to a lot of verbal abstraction that's counterproductive to just learning how to use the thing.

Once you're actually trying to implement the system though, suddenly all of that language becomes really helpful.
The Rust rewrite of Coreutils (this post essentially) _is_ meant to be a drop in replacement for GNU/Coreutils. OTOH, ripgrep and fd are not "drop-in replacements". Rather, they are "replacements" that devs can use if they want to.
I think the complaint comes from lower wage positions. The concrete example I recall is someone who worked part time in a grocery store. All the benefits of the union only accrued to full time workers. And hours went by seniority, so unless the older workers didn’t want the work, you were stuck with the short end of the stick.
Only 38 Swiss Francs (~40USD, ~35EUR) to review this standard! So if I want to make an ISO standard instrument do I need to buy all the other notes too?
> The problem with this line of thinking

I don't think it's a problem. It's just that specialization can happen in skill AND in genetic adaptability to the environment. We think of skill and genetics as separate things, but in this context it can be helpful to think of them as existing along a continuum of how we learn about the environment and adapt to it. Genetic adaptations 'learn' about the environment over multiple generations, and behavior changes happen within a single generation.

So for example, the finch is specialized exactly because it can't change its beak, and the human is a generalist exactly because it can alter its behavior. I think you could argue that any human behavioral 'specialization' is still probably less adapted to any given environment than animals who evolved for a million years to be suited to that environment.
Not only can a kid go from download to having a playable game created from a template in probably less than 30 minutes, but that game has world class multiplayer support and is available on the Roblox platform for anyone to join and explore. And there is no fragmentation like with Minecraft Bedrock/JE.

I disagree, the problem is that are too much law. One law disallows another...
What do you mean by "not enough to incentivize mining"? Mining works on a system where the fewer miners there are the larger a portion of the total transaction fee share each miner gets. Even if the there were no exchanges or people sending transactions, I'm sure there would be at least a few nerds who would mine on their desktop computers for shits and giggles.

A better criterion would be "when transaction fees aren't worth enough to incentivize enough mining to keep the network secure". But even that isn't a very clear concept because you can always just wait longer for more blocks to confirm.
Sure. I'm not saying it's impossible to construct such an IR and get it to work, I'm saying I doubt it's the best way forward. See my other comment [0] where I mention Google Native Client.

It would be a poor fit for certain languages, there may be performance penalties depending on target platform, it would preclude legitimate platform-specific code such as SIMD assembly, it would preclude platform-specific build-time customization, etc.

The way toward painless portability is to move away from unsafe languages like C and C++, where you're never more than an expression away from undefined behaviour, and where programmers may be tempted to make silly mistakes like writing code sensitive to the endianness of the target architecture. [1] With C and C++, disciplined developers working carefully, can write portable code. With Safe Rust, code can be pretty close to 'portable by construction', like Java. If you feed Windows-style path strings to Linux, or vice versa, then things might go wrong, but for the most part you'll be on solid ground.

Firefox (or the Mozilla browser that became Firefox) gave us our modern idea of tabbed browsing. If I remember correctly, it was initially an experimental feature buried in the settings, but it quickly became a popular mainstream feature that Safari and IE adopted.

Opera had an earlier version of tabbed browsing, but it was tacked on to their existing Windows MDI interface.

In the 90s, MS Visual Studio 6 had a 3rd-party plug-in that would add tabs to their existing MDI interface.

Borland's Delphi and C++ Builder may have been the first apps to provide a true tab-based document handling in the early-mid 90s.
I guess we'll eventually see IsoHub as a branch of SciHub?

>Our whole focus is uptime

At some point you're going to have to quantify that and provide enough evidence (of one sort or another) for this claim to be credible. After all, every service under the sun will claim things like 'scalability', 'performance', 'uptime', 'resiliency', whatever. Devil is in the details.
Elon has superhero complex just like Gates but unlike Gates he's actually trying to solve problems himself and Gates just throws billions around and hopes things will get solved.

Yes, and the point of a standard is also that it should have an authoritative, immutable copy for a given version of the standard. The Wikipedia article is neither.
Ali Foundation Issues NFTs to Celebrate 50th Year of Fight of the Century
Source: Crypto Briefing

"In collaboration with Ethernity Chain, Authentic Brands Group (ABG) and the Ali Foundation will mint non-fungible tokens (NFTs) of The Ali Collection to commemorate “The Fight of the Century” on its 50th anniversary.

The Fight of the Century saw two undefeated boxers, Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazer, face off for the heavyweight title on Mar. 8, 1971, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The boxing match that ended in Frazer’s victory is considered to have made a huge impact on the American culture at the time."
It is the opposite. Forwarding (can sometimes) break DKIM. If you are reliant on DKIM (such as blocking messages with DMARC) then you need to account for the impact of forwarding. This has been a big problem with mailing lists, since they get caught in the middle. Mail might get blocked because of the signature failed and the mailing list gets blamed.
I am amazed in an article about bog oak no mention of dendrochronology. Scientists have been collecting and matching up tree rings from samples including especially bog oaks. This builds an unbroken chain of ring width measurements back to the last ice age. It lets wood pieces be dated to calendar year resolution, serves as the basis for calibration of radiocarbon dating curves, and enables study of past climate conditions.
Most likely Sky ECC had some kind of weakness or vulnerability that made it vulnerable to attack.

Encryption is really hard, and one mistake can unravel all of your efforts. I doubt that a boutique shop like Sky ECC's owners had the resources to secure it as well as they claimed.

These workout subscription cost seem insane to me. Why are these apps costing the price of a gym, with none of the access to equipment. I know it's the price of a drop in class or two, but given that these apps/coaches could do many x more people in one group should drive prices much lower imo.

edit: to be honest though, it does sound like a fun app and good idea. Especially after I've gotten back into running this new year, after being out for the last 2 years from an injury I got during a half marathon, and had a hard time getting back into running. I do want to give it a try, but i have trust issues with free trials if I have to put my card in.
Ask HN: How do you deal with high-volume RSS feeds?
I consume lots of content via RSS (Reddit, personal blogs, podcasts, YouTube, BBC World News etc.), however there are some sources that are much more active than others, causing feed entries from less active sources to fall into oblivion.

To give you an example, when I fire up my RSS reader ~90% of the entries I see are either from BBC or Reddit.

Do you have any tip, aside from organizing feeds into categories or using "proxy" services like hnrss[1]? Maybe I should simply unsubscribe from noisy feeds...

Background and caveat. I am that uncle the parents fear. I let my nieces and nephews do about anything they want - until the wife-unit shuts it down...

1. Note any disposition for science or engineering - it was obvious very early (pre-school) in a particular niece and nephew. One other did not develop said disposition until well into high school.

2. Provide an environment. A nephew used to play with my o-scope and function generator during his early grammar school years and played with other stuff on my bench. He later watched me model stuff using MathCad in the 90s. And he recently got (yet) another degree in computational physics.

3. Be logical. Allow curiosity. Allow and never disparage supposedly 'self-evident' questions.

4. When a STEM interest is noted, be ready for the "what is the difference between science and engineering?" question. Do not mistake a STEM interest for a desire to pursue a STEM career. The others nieces and nephews are, or will become, ranchers, business people, and artists; and the artists were probably the most intelligent of the lot.

5. Exposure to, and enjoyment of, an activity are not the same thing and will not necessarily result in similar outcomes.
My favourite thing about Calvino are his letters. Such great observations, and writing. They are up there with Evelyn Waugh’s letters.
Remote clients are the only ones with the encryption/decryption keys. The compute provider (Intel in this case) only has public keys. If the remote client is using trusted open source software, I wish the compute provider the best of luck in extracting any information from what they are processing.
I don't own an EV (yet), but any time I see someone praise Tesla and knock any competitor I honestly wonder if they're a shareholder. There's some serious issues I see with those cars that a majority of the fanbase seems to excuse or ignore. Proprietary charging network and the refusal to release a CCS adapter, touchscreen-focused UI, claims of "full self driving" that don't seem to materialize and sometimes have deadly consequences, build quality issues, lack of android auto/carplay, etc.

Is it just me? Is there really some "magic" I'm not seeing?
And yet, you are probably happy if some criminals are caught with the help of surveillance camera footage. In the past when there were shops in every neighbourhood, the owners of these shops knew all their customers. They exactly knew who they could trust and who not. It has happened to me that when I went to an open air market, where you stil have to make an order, they people behind the stall after some time just remembered what I was coming for, while they must see thousands of customers each week.
The ACA’s “Cadillac Tax” was extremely unpopular with unions as it was a direct attack on a benefit they had negotiated instead of wages.
As soon as esbuild gets react hot reloading capabilities I’m jumping ship. Although that might be out of scope and there is Vite. I’m hoping to avoid vite and go pure esbuild. Fantastic tool. It will make JavaScript distribution a much more pleasant experience across the board when it gets wider adoption.
I was going to run your comment through the Hemingway app but when I googled it I got to a site which has an expired SSL cert, and then instead of it being a harmless free hobby project where you paste text in, they want me to buy a 20 dollar app. Nice try, growth hackers critiquing NYT.

The mindset shift needed for Kubernetes adoption
They produce a series of books about "Anarchist" woodworking which I recommend. In fact, they released the workbench book free of charge as a pdf:

https://blog.lostartpress.com/2020/07/07/updated-anarchists-...

They are my go-to for woodworking reading material.
I understand the author. While I'm more suspicious about the hardware companies than the governments. But care about both. And look pure software companies, which try to sell you services instead of code, executable and support. When hardware- and software are integrated be extremely wary - usually you only get an appliance.

I try to follow these guidelines:

1.) Used and buy only general purpose computers, where you can swap hardware and operating-system. Or even better, firmware.

2.) Avoid Big Tech: Apple (literally all), Microsoft (Surface) and Google (Pixel)

3.) Laptops: Invest into vendors which allow all purpose computing or especiall Linux. Big ones are Lenovo and Dell, small ones are {System76, Purism, Tuxedo, ...}.

4.) Desktop: Built it yourself or order some from a shop which built it for you.

Actually the Pixel Phones are rather good. But Google is not better than Apple. Miracast is really complicated but good. Google? Disables Miracast in the Pixel phones and tries people to lure into Chromecast, which is inferior and requires practically always Internet. If you want send content two meters across the room you don't want Internet! And Pushmail? Only with GMAIL on Pixel. We are in 2021 and this phones don't provide Pushmail for IMAP servers which actually provide this feature. Even Apple is better there, and Apple also provides CalDAV and CardDAV. But Apples doesn't provide file system access nor allow you to use your devics as you want!

Lenovo and Dell improved their Linux support a lot in recent years - so I consider them pretty positive. But nothing is perfect.

PS: Probably I receive downvotes because saying negative things about Apple is not well received here. Silicon Valley Clique?
Article written by a tesla bear
There's a free draft version from the Library of Congress:

https://www.loc.gov/standards/datetime/iso-tc154-wg5_n0038_i...

https://www.loc.gov/standards/datetime/iso-tc154-wg5_n0039_i...

Do take note of the caveats on the cover.

(Not suggesting that relying on the free draft is great, just providing a reference for people interested in the actual content of ISO 8601, rather than the principles around this issue. The spec is a good read for people interested in datetime representations.)
I suspect that, typically, when people mention ISO-8601, they really mean simply "YYYY-MM-DD" and are not seeking to incorporate all the other complications and details of the standard.
Tag each word or short phrase with a sentiment and a referent. The sense will appear.
> it's a fine way to make a living!

The problem is that they don’t make a living. People who work in grocery stores aren’t working there because they want to, but usually just because it’s their only option. If they quit their jobs they would be homeless by the end of the month. Do you understand what their living conditions are like? It’s really sad and it makes me uncomfortable to talk to them. Minimum wage workers in high cost of living cities are just slavery as a service.
You can trust random vendors because the container is sealed, and once open it can't be sealed again. Many "disposable containers" that we use can be filled with tap water and used again if you want.
Study: The antihypertensive properties of green and black tea
I hadn't heard of this but it looks cool. Looks like something that will do the job when we do need it. so far we just store the parameters from certain heavily used mutations into a job table and run the actual insertion in a background worker. We're no where near needing this yet but it'll be good to have it on hand when we (hopefully) get to that point.
IDF has a whole process for examination and selection of people into various roles. You usually get an invitation for an exam if you majored in CS in school and you can also request one.
Hi Bert and Otto,

As a fellow belgian, I have been following you and segments closely. Congrats on being the first belgian YC company :).

From the beginning onwards I was wondering why you chose to put such an emphasis on segmentation labelling. Do you see this usecase as the Computer Vision application with the biggest (future) market or maybe the least saturated offering at the moment?
for the average person, if you studied computer science in school or something like that, they refer you to intelligence unit tests, and they refer you to whatever sub-unit/team/squad/center/agency call it whatever. it's similar to big corporations where they say "get me 50 specialists of X Y and Z by next year" and then managers of X, Y and Z rock-paper-scissors it.

also before you are being recruited, you are asked to list preferences. then in intelligence again, what are your interests, etc. I guess I aced the tests because I went through so many of them, should've focused only on what I actually wanted. it goes without saying it's not odd for them not to give a fuck about your preferences.
I've read Code. I also liked Financial Statements by Thomas R. Ittelson. It has a similar tutorial-like approach.
The world would be shocked to know how many hedge funds and mutual funds are managed in excel workbooks. I worked with one RIA who (correctly, IMO) listed "excel" as a systemic risk to their business. If excel ceased to exist tomorrow they (and much of Wall Street) would be in a world of trouble.

I make a bunch of stuff from digital drawings to pixel art to 3D simulations using low level 3D frameworks like Metal. I also trained a neural net to paint like a Fauvist. Though currently my creative energy outside of work is focused largely on landscape / farm design. Well, and raising an Australian Shepherd puppy among other family things :)
You've got a point in general, but here specifically I don't think OP was wrong.

The US definitely has an overarching philosophy, regardless of differing per-state policies. From my own experience with one of the more restrictive states in the US, all that is required to get a driving license is a written test and a road test once you reach 18 years old. Most people want to get their license before then, so they opt into training classes with an instructor and a car with dual controls. But that isn't required. I don't know how things are in the other more restrictive states, but I'd guess what I said goes for at least 90% of the country.
Very easy position to take if you’re not a warehouse work worker that thinks a union is a difference between you losing your job
I do listen to my podcasts at about 1.4x, with an additional feature to shorten silences (like pauses, and even between words and sentences) that bumps it up to about 1.5x-1.6x. To me, that makes them feel peppier without feeling rushed. (Compared to the standard pacing associated with radio broadcasts, which is what many podcasters aim for.)

As you note, this is used to provide distraction during time that my hands are busy but my ears aren't: commuting, running, etc. I suspect that at least some of the others in this thread are listening to music under similar circumstances. Or maybe they're just better than me about getting lost in their own thoughts.
When something like universal healthcare or a $15 min wage goes into law, it's one less thing the union has to negotiate for. The union doesn't have to give up a certain number of sick days to make sure workers are getting $15/hr because its now non-negotiable. The end goal of a union is to not to need to exist, that workers are protected enough that they don't have to engage in collective bargaining.
> Why are you worried about disclosing how much milk and eggs you buy?

They can see sexual activity, if you're a parent/expecting, a ton of health information, if you're a smoker, your physical location, and more.

This isn't about eggs and milk. The data in combination constitutes a greater breach of privacy than the most dedicated stalker could hope to achieve.
The wood dug out of swamps in NZ is far too valuable to be firewood, but wrecking wetland does have a massive negative impact.
