I'm in the UK and own two LG Smart TVs (a 65SM8600PLA and a 82UN85006LA).

I've never seen any ads on the 65" model, and the 82" model had a toggle to switch them off.

In the past, I was always against buying any device with features integrated into it (like a TV/DVD combo), but after actually using a smart TV (I had a Panasonic Smart TV before these LG TVs), I can't see any reason why I'd want to stop using the built-in apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, and YouTube.

The apps work well, and the convenience of them being integrated into the TV is hard to argue with.

Sure, I could watch the same content with the Chromecast, PC, Xbox Series X, or DVR - all connected via HDMI, but what would that actually offer over the TV's own apps?
Likewise. :)
Yeah, better to leave out the swear word completely from the HN entry, rather than write a confusing euphemism.
They want all Javascript on your site to be free software, i.e., that it is released under a free software license or put in the public domain (and with the readable, i.e. non-compiled and non-minified source code available). That is the FSF's demand for all software that people run on their computer, including in the browser.
On a side note, I’m starting to suspect that Bitcoin, and Satoshi Nakamoto, is an internal NSA job.

And Satoshi must be the alias name for some cryptography expert, or experts, inside the NSA itself.

Hah, and even if you rearrange the words, its acronym is NSA. Like, Nakamoto SAtoshi. I just noticed that.

And maybe the architect behind it, used a Japanese origin name, to throw people off their trail. To pin it to some foreign country, instead of the United States government.

After all, who else can keep a big secret like this? And laugh all the way to the bank. While trolling the entire world, at the same time.

Some ideas:

1. The Satoshi Nakamoto guy on the message boards, wrote in perfect colloquial American English. Even his sense of humor was American. His grammar was perfect, and similar to a Millennial/Gen-X aged American. Like, he grew up chatting on AIM and ICQ back in the 90s and 00s. And probably on BBS message boards back in the 80s and 90s.

2. Satoshi mined the originating Bitcoins, and they are incredibly valuable now, and worth around $8.8 billion dollars in mid 2020. Who wouldn’t cash out on it, and realize all the gains, or even some of the gains? How about some super secret organization, that specializes in cryptography. And especially an organization that doesn’t immediately need the money.

3. Bitcoin mining is consuming a ton of electricity. Increasing carbon pollution, and depleting natural resources. There is only one other country that is generating so much electricity, that a large percentage of it, goes straight into Bitcoin mining. You can guess for yourself which country this is.

I don’t think this was intentional, but maybe a side effect is that it will bankrupt other competitor countries that the USA does not like.

4. Maybe another strategic end goal is to trick others to put their money into Bitcoin, and wait until it becomes very very valuable. Like, 100 or 1000 or 1 million times more valuable than it is today, it’s a very long and patient wait, then the US Federal government will pass a law declaring the Bitcoins to be illegal tender. And will then pass another law to forcefully seize all private Bitcoin assets, like the way cops take candy from a baby, with their Civil Asset Forfeiture policy.

Who knows. All this is just fun conjecture.

Maybe there really is a Satoshi Nakamoto out there. But, I’d probably believe Santa Claus is real, before I believe that cover story.
>C++ as it seems an ancient programming language

Sometimes, the counterintuitive situation is that the "ancient language" is the tool that enables you to write the most modern cutting edge application. My previous comment about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25315815

>I‘m hesistant on investing time into C++ as I don’t know how much acquiring this language as a skill will help me advance my career as a software-developer.

It will help your career if you become highly skilled at C++ and it's easier and more realistic to build competency if you have interesting projects that require C++.

In other words, a lot of people don't learn LanguageX because of some elegant syntax feature or a vague "future value". Instead, they learn a new language because an interesting runtime or target environment requires that particular language.

E.g. I previously ignored Python for years. But now I learned it not because I like spaces as indents instead of curly braces or because of Python mantras such as "One True Way To Do Things". I learned it because the new field of AI machine learning interests me and the lingua franca in that topic is mostly Python and not C++. I learned Visual Basic because that's the language of Excel macros. I learned Bash because that's the default shell in Linux. And so on.

In summary, C++ would be easier for you to pursue if the problem domains that C++ is good at are areas that naturally appeal to you. Stuff like close-to-the-metal coding such as backend server processing, high-frame-rate video games, etc. Is your team's C++ code base interesting to you? If not, learning C++ will be a slog.

Interesting suggestion. I read the OP's article a few years ago and it totally resonated with me. And I'm glad to have seen it here again, and wrote out my own experience above. Maybe one day I'll publish a longer version of it somewhere.

The thing with the wall street interview that you mentioned was just how diametrically opposite it felt compared to my life as a grad student. And I wanted to point this out.

I was working in a basement lab, doing long hours often by myself, in a dark drab dreary dungeon of sorts, feeling cut off from the world.

And then for the interview I walk onto a trading floor in a skyscraper in NYC with hundreds of people shouting into telephones or at colleagues across the way, TV's broadcasting news scattered around the floor. Most traders with crazy screen setups (eg 2 rows of 4 screens) full of blinking charts and tables of numbers updating in real time. Wide windows surround the floor with amazing views across Manhattan and beyond. I was put into a little windowed office for the interviews.

In the first day of interviews, the window offered a great view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. And I thought back to my great great grandparents who came to this country through Ellis Island for opportunity, and now I was given an opportunity and I hoped not to blow it.

And then into the second day the window faced uptown, showing an endless expanse of skyscrapers. I started questioning myself, feeling like a fish out of water, totally outside my element.

The summer internship itself was great, finance was nothing at all what I thought it was. There are all sorts of risk and pricing models, and it was full of people like myself who grew disillusioned with a career in academia but were still able to apply math/coding/modelling/analytical skills to something interesting and exciting.

I'd say "no", or at least "not particularly". Obviously there are careers that require even less knowledge of English, for example in music (I knew someone who chose to study music specifically because they didn't know which country they might end up in), but many careers require more knowledge of English than programming, so if you don't like or are not good at (human) languages then programming is not a bad choice, I think.
I’m a big fan of Rust’s Future model, but it is still colored in the same way as most languages that offer a “block until future/promise/whatever is complete” (C#, Java, etc.). You can do that, but depending on your executor model it can vary from inefficient (e.g. blocking a thread on the thread pool that is supposed to be running futures) to deadlocking (e.g. a single-threaded executor, or blocking on all threads of a thread pool).

Rust’s futures library actually contains a defense mechanism against precisely this behavior: a function “futures::executor::enter” that returns a guard that causes an immediate panic if another “futures::executor::enter” call is made on the same thread while it is alive. The idea is that every executor calls this when it takes over execution on a thread, so you get an immediate panic if you try to block on a future inside another future instead of risking a deadlock.
> There isn’t too much in the article about cost (“affordable” is vaguely mentioned in passing), but it seems like prefab isn’t generally cheap. Does anyone have any insight into why prefab construction isn’t much, much cheaper than a traditional stick build?

Because it's priced to match non-prefab.

Or even (2018), since that's when the guy actually came up with it. It was widely reported several times. He's become a regular on the conference circuit since then, but as far as I can see his "great invention" has not actually been deployed in any significant capacity. I'd like it if anybody could shine some light on the outcomes.
There's no need to call someone "bitter" or "paranoid" simply because they don't value the rather minor conveniences smart devices promise.

For many people (including me), manually adjusting AC and lights or getting up to check the door simply isn't enough of a pain point to create interest in smart devices.
Isn't stackoverflow a rather good demonstration of the point? People like answering questions so much they'll do it for free. There is no SO of documentation.
It’s transcribing your audio and translating it into a subtitle. That seems what would be expected, unless you thought it would synthesize a voice in Mandarin on the other end? That would probably not even be desirable, just as subtitled movies are better than dubbed movies.
There are requirements for commercial flights which would be extremely hard to achieve with a rocket architecture.

For instance, you cannot have a single failure (whatever its probability) that leads to a catastrophic condition. Meaning, for every component and at every moment, you have to assume the component fails and still have to ensure you don't kill your passengers.

Spanish SEPE labor agency suffers Ryuk ransomware attack
"A ransomware attack has affected IT systems at a Spanish government agency that manages unemployment benefits, disrupting “hundreds of thousands” of appointments at the agency, a Spanish labor union said Tuesday.

The cyberattack on Spain’s State Public Employment Service (SEPE) affected the agency’s offices around the country, forcing employees to use pen and paper to take appointments, according to the Central Independent Trade Union and Civil Servants. The union alleged that the SEPE had aging IT systems that the agency had not upgraded.

SEPE plays an integral part in distributing unemployment benefits in a country where the coronavirus pandemic has hammered the economy. The number of jobless people in Spain is now 4 million, its highest rate in five years, according to official data. But SEPE Director Gerardo Gutiérrez said an interview with Spanish broadcaster RNE that the incident had not affected unemployment benefits, and that it has not led to the theft of personal data."

Wow.

This is the first moment that has made me pull my head out from under the many deep layers of Unity sand/code I’m in - if this is seriously a thing I will at the very least use this tool for this and then low-poly it and import into Unity.

Wow, y’all. The future is here.
This is Stallman-esk far removed from reality.

I get the argument (also I think it nonsense) but what will rewriting a sites Javascript do about the server side? That would still be non-free. Or is the argument here that the backend and the API is not important because it's only generating HTML/Json/whatever and that's only "data" so you don't care about it. If so, I would turn that argument around and argue that the non-free Javascript is only an extension of the server side and is only generating data - the DOM.
It wouldn't work at scale in the oceans; I don't think it discriminates between microplastics and microorganisms.

It'd work on a smaller scale though, but then it would have to compete with traditional filters.
then the problem is the court not understanding the technology. If you are using the domain just for email then sure, that's a valid use case and you can claim the domain is being used
Modern gas turbines can be converted to hydrogen or hydrogen/gas blends. The idea is to use gas now then convert to hydrogen when commercial, renewable hydrogen is available. One idea is to use renewables to do hydrolysis and effectively use hydrogen as a battery.

The US energy segment has decreased CO2 emissions in the last decade and switching from coal to gas is a big part of the reason.
Good point but it's not talking to a journal not a person, I thought he wants to avoid misrepresentation
The point is that if you put the experimentally measured distance, masses, and force into Newton's inverse square law in a regime where it does not actually hold, you will get a different G and this is how you will know that modifications are needed. G will be variable in that regime.

If you do some research and find a reasonably engineered TV, the inclusion of "smart" functionality doesn't necessarily detract from the device's utility. About 5 years ago I bought a 55" 4K TV based purely on its performance as a PC monitor. It happened to be an Android TV. After moving, I stopped using it as a monitor and started using it as a TV.

It's been a mostly positive experience. It even received an update within the last year. The update exchanged some old bugs for some new bugs, but for the most part it turns on and streams videos without much fuss. It's the first TV I've owned that correctly sequences my audio receiver's power over HDMI, and successfully passes through the TV remote's playback controls to the blu-ray player.

The most frustrating thing about it is that there's apparently a defect in its hardware accelerated video decoder. When Netflix came out with their fancier compression codecs last year, 4k shows started completely glitching out. Folk were complaining about it on reddit for months. Luckily I have a friend who works at Netflix who was able to start busting some skulls and get it patched over. For now...

I figure I've got at least another year or two before the built-in Android functionality is obsolete to the point of being inconvenient, or the streaming apps stop coping with the buggy video decoder. Since the TV works pretty well as a monitor, though, I should be able to just hook up a more
modern external Android TV device and keep going with a roughly similar experience. I'm hopeful that it will even continue to seamlessly power on and off.

My other TV is a "dumb" 1080p Samsung plasma screen I bought second hand in 2010 from a particularly sketchy dude on Craigslist. It's still going strong, other than some occasional power supply buzzing and perhaps a bit of phosphor fade. It's travelled across the country and even survived a bachelor party camping trip. Honestly though, it's more of a pain to use than the Android TV, even as a dumb monitor.
Looks good and something we could use until I saw the pricing. If it’s guided towards onboarding new users, having the MAUs factored into the pricing structure means we’ll keep incurring costs even when the customer is a prouser.

Does MAUs only count when they are brought into a flow?
I agree. ‘Decimation’ seems to be the industry standard for referring to the reduction of polycount in models. :)
TLDR: a non-polar, non-toxic, ferromagnetic agent is added to the contaminated water. Plastic particles then attach to the agent due to their non-polar nature. The ferromagnetic agent with absorbed micro plastics subsequently can be removed by a magnet. The process removes >90% of micro plastics.

Brilliant, great work by Ferreira.

While working out a scalable solution, this would be a great addition to preexisting sewage infrastructure in the US!
Yep, so a `(2019)` in the title is required.
> I'm from center ( Sardinia ), we also do Aglio, olio e peperoncino. We do use spicy peppers, but I must say they are not so common, majority of recipes don't use them but some people add them to taste.

The center [0] would be Emilia Romanga, no? I was led to believe that Sardinia, like Corisca, is its own thing culturally speaking, isn't? I mena its been inhabited and conquered by every major European/Arab power at some point and its food definitely reflects that.

Then again I'm also a walking contradiction: I lived and worked in Modena and Maranello and I'd cook southern recipes in an agrotourism kitchen with Northern and Central ingredients. I loved the look when as a Californian I nailed the right balance of spiciness and savoriness to satisfy a northerner (say Milan) for another order on something like pasta con le sarde.

The owner, from Sicily, was always taken back by how well accepting his clientele (mainly Ferrari factory workers or eco-tourists from the North visiting the countryside) were to Southern dishes, especially those that 'a Californian made' who has to date never stepped foot in the 'proper' South.

The furthest south I've ever gone was Bologna! I just really like southern cuisine and cooked and read a bunch of old hand me down cookbooks the owner brought with him and blogs and misc videos online while I did my apprenticeship in ER. I just find it more interesting as Northern food always felt too bloaty given it's emphasis on cheeses, butters and creams, which after having spent most of my time in Switzerland felt redundant.

You'd have to design it in, but all your components would be preplanned or standardised. You'd know before hand where all the piping and cabling went. Maybe the walls could even be finished in the factory and you just have to attach them together. You could even have standard ways to connect built in storage and kitchens.
Poor reading speeds and skills are a huge problem. I've wirken with even supposedly senior developers who will not read the user guide for some complex piece of software before trying to use it or even worse, mouthing off about how it doesn't have feature X so task Y will be too difficult so we should switch to an alternative! The user guide in this case was comprehensive and fresh.

The reality is, this sort of behaviour isn't penalised or shamed. Said developer got called out in a meeting with many others present and didn't even appear to feel embarrassment or apologise. Makes it tough to get people to write and take pride in documentation when that sort of thing happens.

I think many would disagree - I have never found that capsaicin heat detracts from the other flavors. Indeed, if you look at reviews for even extremely hot sauces, you will often see complaints about the ones that rely only on heat, and do not have good flavor.
Maybe it was not worth the extra work.
I am asking you for a direct link to a source that backs up your claim of "millions of times" higher radioactivity.
I assume that essentially means "to taste," you have the correct ratios, mix all the spices and add spice mixture slowly until dish tastes good.

Do people normally measure spices? I never do. Ever. I assume the cook's lack of exact measuring (eyeballing) is why it says "spoonful", rather than "teaspoon."
Maybe they could launch a linux app, like the one Slack, Zoom and even Microsoft Teams have.

We just have to be careful so that "the cure doesn't become deadlier than the disease": in case some magnetic particles are left in it could cause greater issues perhaps than plastic. We can't just assume that "yeah don't worry bro the magnets will surely remove all magnetic particles".

What is the cost of such agent and is the agent in itself toxic would be my first questions ...
Me being a person who resonates with the ideas of GNU this article seems unfinished and a bit weird. I know that there is proprietry javascript executed on my browser but it is not the same as running emacs on linux. Browser is effectively a platform that executes the code that consists of html, css, js + data. For instance html and css parts are not something that comes purely from the server these days, but is created on the fly in a library or at build time by using some bundler which will use the same library when the site is live. Javascript will actually be abstracted through some framework as well.
What I do not understand is which specific problem it talks about and tries to fix? Is it all the javascript, or beacons sending data to third parties, or a proprietry program like youtube player or google docs, or what?
This "free" approach to the scripts also hits a wall considering that front-end programmers prefer to use a MIT licence in their source, showing their total lack of concern.
I would spend my time making free gnu libraries, but at the moment the proposal is not finished for me to buy into the idea.
