I still have a special Z10 that I was allowed to keep after working there.

It's a red Z10 running an unlocked bootloader which allows you to hold down volume up-volume down and boot into Android 5.0 environment.

Sadly "Project Exodus" was considered inappropriate at the time just like the original Android Player on BB10 since it was considered inappropriate to think anything other than BB10 was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Edit: 2 years after I left, Blackberry devices became Android devices... so I guess I was ahead of the curve or something?
It is extremely odd to find so many on Hacker News arguing for laws to say "that server you own and run in your house that hosts a small web forum...that's a public space now, you'll not be deleting things from it anymore". Because there's no way somehow Twitter is a public space but any random phpBB isn't - they both ask for an email address to sign up and can reject me at that point if they don't like my provider.

There are no laws governing how a corporation defines it's "values" as an entity and it certainly has no need to follow that - freedom of speech is my freedom to lie through my teeth publicly about everything I believe, for example.

So again: Twitter has always been able to talk about how it's for things, but at the end of the day it's Twitter's garden and we all play in it.

This is called arena allocation, and there are many implementations of the concept.

The M1 was being compared to an i7, and that was I was responding to.

It will also not "be interesting", since if we part from "M1 does not beat current discrete GPUs" as per grandparent comment, it will obviously not beat an upcoming one, whatever the wattage will be.

To my knowledge there are still functional family dairy farms here in Ontario. And the cost of milk, about $4.80 (Canadian) for 4L, and butter (hovering between $3 and $6 per pound - we buy it on special, it stores well in the freezer) is really not an issue even for our family of four. So far so good. I'm glad to pay it if it keeps family farms in business. I grew up on a dairy farm in Germany (in the pre-quota days).

The issue is the quota system. A quick google says it's hovering around $25K Canadian for the right to ship one kilogram of butterfat (whole milk is about 3.5% fat) per day. This means the quota tends to be a farmer's single most valuable possession, and it protects idyllic family farms (good) but makes it prohibitively expensive to get into the business.

All in all, you can drive around in Ontario's farm belts and they still look pretty traditionally prosperous. We must be doing something right.

Large scale ETH miner here who uses excess hydro. ETH uses PoW, but the long term plan for ETH is to move to PoS.

I'm going to address one large difference between ETH PoW and Bitcoin PoW that people rarely talk about, which is the hardware differences.

ETH did something relatively smart and tried to peg the hardware to GPUs. This had the effect of ensuring that there would not be the same speed race wars that (imho) plague Bitcoin. Every new generation of hardware obsoletes the last. You don't need the fastest/latest GPUs to be ROI efficient.

The system isn't perfect, people have made ASICs, but it turns out (for now) that they aren't much more cost/speed efficient than just using GPUs due to the memory hardness of the ethash PoW algo.

As a result, the limited number of GPUs also limits the size of the growth of the network. They are also more difficult to setup and run at scale than Bitcoin ASICs. Finally, GPUs can go back to doing other things (gaming/ai/ml/rendering/...) and generally won't become e-waste.
Well I guess the first order narrative around ycombinator is that they were successful by seeing opportunities that other investors missed. They think that you're like one of those investors, dismissing a company because they "are only creating a widget".

>>I do believe that one of the major reasons the UK voted to leave was the realisation that other European countries were not in fact friendly allies as the Remain campaign tried to portray, but rather arrogant and complacent takers that saw the UK as a resource to be exploited and abused.

Racism and caste endogamy is very different... caste is violence given stamp of approval through religion, you cannot escape it. Dalits are beheaded for wearing turban, riding a horse, taking their marriage procession from upper caste street. Moreover, it has present day support of the system in India. Hindu saint who classified the castes through his treatise, Manu Smriti, finds his statue in front of Rajasthan High Court.

News from today: Woman married a lower-caste guy, eloped, families lodged missing person complaint in Police, Police found the married couple and handed them over to their families. Woman's brother beheads his brother-in-law, sister hangs herself.

That is interesting. I did not read the article as a plea to avoid algorithms or 'Western culture' in general and interpreted it more as suggesting that ideas like "bias", "data" and "rationality" do not exist outside of context, politics and history (data cleaning is typically the phase where this is obvious to many researchers) and that this should be considered even though a perspective like X is the problem and Y is the solution might make an algorithm or its debiasing seem to be a generally positive outcome/solution.

> "b) The privatisation of British rail has been a disaster"

Privatisation has not been perfect, but only someone who does not remember the old days of British Rail in the 1980s and 1990s would consider it a disaster. It's true that fares are high, but service levels and passenger numbers are both far above the British Rail days. (UK rail passenger numbers reached an all time record in 2019)

Prior to Covid, many of the busiest lines were operating near their capacity limits, so setting fares any lower would just cause even more severe crowding. And fares, of course, generate revenue to reinvest into expanding capacity.

In any case, UK rail operators are now de-facto nationalised due to Covid. This has been recognised by the ONS, with rail operator's debts now counted on the government balance sheet.

ONS recognises full nationalisation of the UK railways:

Man I really wish BB10 had come to the market earlier. I honestly don't doubt it'd still be around today if it wasn't for the fact it entered the market so late. BB were too busy dragging their feet for years after iOS and Android hit the scene. If they started work on BB10 as soon as the iPhone was released, I think we'd still have BlackBerries and more importantly a third platform. The Apple/Google duopoly benefits no one except Apple and Google.

I still have a Q10 somewhere, it's such a nice phone too.

I considered writing it in Go, but my team is Python-centric. Tornado was chosen back in 2018 because it was one of the better fully featured async web frameworks. The original ConsoleMe was server-side rendered, and Tornado offered support for these types of templates.

ConsoleMe's frontend is now fully React and could be ported away from Tornado, but it'd be a pretty large effort.

That's no definition of DO I've ever heard. A list is a classic example of a non-data oriented structure!

DO as I understand it is about recognizing how data is actually laid out and interacted with by a processor, as opposed to meaningful abstract relationships to a programmer. It's about breaking down costly abstractions, rather than ignoring the cost of higher level abstractions.

DO exists primarily in opposition to OO, not FP. The classic example is the array of structs to struct of arrays (OO to DO transformation).

The juxtaposition of "meta analysis" and "real-time" is problematic. The point of a meta analysis isn't merely to rapidly aggregate lots of data from multiple studies. It's also an analysis of the quality and applicability of the studies. The consensus of most (all?) regulatory bodies is that the clinical effectiveness of off-label Ivermectin for CoViD-19 has not been well established. A useful survey of many of the relevant studies can be found at https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/tables/table-.... "Real time" is not particularly compatible with things like peer-review and replication, and that's a big problem.

They also seem to be aggregating a large amount of unpublished data that was not part of a relevant study. That needs to be accompanied with a detailed discussion about why the data (and population) in question provides good evidence. That's also not meta-analysis but original research, requiring independant review and assessment before it could be part of a meta study.

An attempt to rapidly correlate the results of all available studies runs the risk of simply representing an automated version of p-hacking. Aggregating a bunch of low quality studies does not generate a good quality study, especially if (as in this case) many of them generate concerns about the study population selection, lack of controls, and comorbidities.

Interesting, it seems to work very similarly to Firefox Send.

For communications in the other direction, such as when you want to make sure the other person sends you the content securely, there is https://github.com/whitesmith/hawkpost (disclaimer, this was an hackathon project I participated some years ago). Hawkpost doesn't even store the encrypted content.

The people losing their shirts are probably mindlessly following others, putting all their money in and/or doing options contracts. There still is potential for short and long term wins with GameStop. The company is starting a transformation so buying and holding shares isn't like buying lotto tickets. There still is a situation brewing for possible quick wins, maybe not life-changing money but even if it doesn't happen you still hold stock.

The January event piqued my interest into trading as a hobby so I've done a fair amount of research. My thinking around it is investing could be side-hustle kinds of profit without the customer support, marketing, and other non-engineering parts of doing a technical side-hustle like building apps, doing freelance work or building a SaaS product.

Like any engineer, I want to understand how things work (aka over analyze everything) and there are a lot of forces at play in the GameStop situation which make it a fun problem to look into. There is a massive shortage of stock available, surging interest from retail traders and thousands of options contracts in the money every week creating more buying pressure. I could bore you with a lot of detail on these things.

People say don't invest anything you can't lose, but the market is not a slot machine. Properly researching companies, buying stock and tracking it is not that risky. Especially not if you have an exit strategy to minimize losses and maximize gains.

Greene is certainly a more literary writer with more human insight, and le Carré would be more plot driven. I read Havana, Brighton, and Quiet American decades ago now. Genre wise, Alan Furst apparently took up the gauntlet, but his characters seemed like unmemorable plot devices to me.

> I worry that it wields the power of a nation state without the checks and obligations that constrain actual nations.

The power of a nation state is based on its ability to maintain and control property, levy taxes and enforce compliance with its authority through a monopoly on violence. The premise that Google or any web platform has anything near the power of a nation state is ridiculous.

Also, Google isn't an independent state, they're a corporation and as such are subject to the laws of the nation(s) in which they operate. They do what they do because governments allow them to, not because they have the power to defy governments at will.
All three of these phrases are political slogans. They are inherently associated with a set of political views, because they exist specifically to oppose another set of views and slogans.

It’s unreasonable to echo a political slogan in public and then complain that people don’t assume your neutrality. You cannot say “it’s okay to be white” and expect others to consider it neutral, in much the same way that you can’t say “blood and soil”.
I cancelled my subscription a few days ago. It was the most painfull procedure ever. Help article points to a cancellation button, which does not exist. Contact page leads to nowhere. Chat bot points you to the useless help section. Finally a real human behind the chatbot answers, but takes extra long time to make you lose any remaining patience or hope. Finally after 1 hour of various counter offers and discounts, they accept the cancellation request.
I have never witnessed a subscription cancellation process this obstructive. It should be illegal.
The dairy industry isn't the best to attack on animal cruelty. While there are bad actors within it, it's a small amount compared to it as a whole. Low stress cows produce noticeably better quality milk. This isn't a secret in the industry.

Wheat, soybean, avocados, palm oil and more are just as bad for the environment and animal life due to commercialization. Monoculture industrial farming is inherently unsustainable. High density growing of a single type of organism that requires outside resources to be brought it. Artificial fertilizer production isn't ecological either. The pest control required, and I'm not talking about bugs, I'm talking about rodents, birds, boar and deer, is pretty harmful for not just the animals, but for the regional ecosystem.

"Let's just make food more expensive for people! I decide what people should eat and when even though the purchasing power of the average individual is shrinking as is!" As an omnivore, I have to tell you, "slow down there Stalin". Then again, you're not wrong. You need less farmland if you starve enough people to death. Guess you're a fan of population control? Historically speaking, on average, anyone that advocates for the limiting of general food distribution to everyday people don't become well known as humanitarians or "good people".

You choose to be vegan, good for you. But don't pretend industrial farming of soy, peas and avocados don't have blood on their hands. The only vegans who can lay claim to the moral high ground are the ones that permaculture grow their own food. They get my respect, big time, since they're not virtue dieters.
