This is politics! Politics is quite literally the development of consensus (whether it's corporate politics, national politics, etc.). Without consensus (agreement, buy-in), large-scale things do not get done. Politicking - which includes relationship building, framing, vision setting, leadership, debate and empathy, among many other things - is not necessarily intuitive. It is a skill like any other.
They control that the Safari JIT doesn’t enable DLC or plugins because the web view control it runs in can’t be used to implement this.

With regards to vulnerabilities, they are mitigated as much as possible by making sure the JIT runs in separate, unprivileged processes. And anyway it is easier to secure one Javascript engine that is included in OS updates than it is to keep a multitude of engines up to date which came with apps most people don’t even think of as a browser.
Kind of like how Android just wiped out Apple right?! I can’t say I understand where all the reflexive hate for Tesla comes from, especially here, but Tesla is a leader for a reason definitely check them out so you understand what the differences are before you buy that MachE
> I had one guy threaten to punch me in the face for looking at him. Another guy was worse...he smashed his phone on the desk about two feet from my face to "show me who is boss," occasionally got physical with me, and would routinely say stuff like "I own your soul" to me while I was working.

This is literally abuse. It's also not normal. Not from my short time in banking and longer time in trading (around lots of bankers). Not from anyone I know in the field. I'm sorry you had to go through that--you may want to talk to a lawyer.
Ok I missed that detail - I think it's reasonable to support iOS8 size screens given the market share. But the logic holds with iPhone 5 and below size screens for example.
Yes, scientists have everything to gain from their work being as visible as possible. And many themselves rely on Sci-Hub to get papers for which their lab don't pay expensive access to. And they don't receive money when their papers are bought.

The loosing ones are publishers and they kind of deserve it if you ask me. They make scientists pay with money to publish their work, and with time for unpaid reviews, and yet they make a profit out of it, which, for the record, is often paid with public money on both sides. This is quite clever when you think about it. Publishers had their use when we needed publications to be printed on papers but now their role is more arguable.

Should private publishers collapse, scientists would figure out a way to publish their papers another way and that might be for the best. (edit since you added your second paragraph: hopefully using something like the "free and open source platform for publishing and peer reviewing run by a non-profit organisation, financed as a public project" that you mention)
I was enjoying reading about the ORA Good Cat. An EV by the Great Wall Motors. Designed by a Porsche designer, desirable, retails for about 1/3 of a Tesla. In China.

With a decade, the AI powering autonomous vehicles is going be commiditized in same way as speech recognition or OCR has become commiditized.

And the dominant electric automobile makers will be Chinese.

I have no idea where valuation for Tesla will peak. But in ten years. I am pretty sure Tesla will be valued similarly to any other established car brand (that is P/S P/E will be similar to that of Volkswagen, Ford etc.).

I use an iPhone 8 (more or less the same as the SE 2020) and I don't find this bugs often, but they are definitely there.

Regarding web design, I always set the iPhone 5/SE view as the baseline. I think it's a lot easier to go from there to a bigger device than the other way around. Also, the worst that can happen is that there's some empty spaces on the sides or some card gets wide. However, when you start from a big device and then try to fit the UI to smaller ones it's a lot harder.

Another problem is the rendering engines. I once had to help a friend with a problem that was only happening in my iPhone, but when I used Chrome (in my laptop) with the mobile view it worked ok. I could then reproduce the bug using Safari (in my laptop) with the mobile view active, so I guess it was because of the small size + rendering engine. Those things are also hard to debug and catch.
Google Maps is not much better on larger screens unfortunately. It’s almost as if it wants to obscure the map area, no matter what you try.

When using it you kind of feel how a once pioneering piece of tech and UX initially built by a small team got taken over by corporate Google which knows best what their users need...
OpenVPN authentication hardened with ARM TrustZone
The goal is to connect an embedded device to VPN network. The VPN uses authentication with X.509 certificates, which means that the device needs to store securely a private key. The question is, how to protect the key from being copied? Many ideas have been explored already, the solution uses secure enclave. The project itself is quite easy to implement and it can serve as a hands-on intro to the ARM TrustZone-based TEEs.
It creates loyalty and trust. Important when doing dangerous or illegal things.
> Using an application menu (e.g. File, Edit, etc.)? Those almost never appear on hover!

The author is clearly not a macOS user. In macOS:

- clicking a top-level menu label toggles between 'menu open' and 'menu closed' state

- in 'menu open' state:

a) entering a top-level menu label opens that submenu

b) switching to a different app or clicking outside of any submenu toggles to 'menu closed' state

I'd be interested in hearing if other OSes do something different. Maybe the fact that it's a global menu is relevant.

> All links are contained in submenus except for top-level items that have no submenu (e.g. “Home”). We’ll deal with what happens to those top-level pages in a moment.

Did the article end up covering that? As another comment suggests, having some links stay on-page and others navigate away is a potential problem. If it's only ever Home, that might be mitigated — you can always leave Home out anyway and utilise the site logo. I guess, for other top-level-only menus, differentiating them visually would be the answer — maybe blue underline for links and three-dimensional rectangles for 'buttons'? (ducks)
What is the other 99.999% of information? Yes, there was some undefined behavior that was not in the official manuals but certainly not a 100000 times what was in there.
What do you think monopoly means exactly?
The custom buttons without labels are a pet peeve of mine actually. I can never guess what the buttons do when they only have pictures and each app use their own icon set.

There are some apps that use standard buttons that I recognize but far too many want to be fancy and roll their own making the app practically unusable unless you guess correct or press all buttons to see what they do.

But you are correct in that if everyone followed the guidelines, used the standard UI elements and images etc it would be much better. I could even forgo button labels if that happens :)
It's weird that they don't. Every time I push to the istore they review it will multiple devices.
> come crunch-time if a deal fails because your clients are waiting for a junior analyst to do his work

There is a solution to this: a coördinated global team. FX traders manage this just fine.

The problem is, at its root, that high finance is insanely competitive across almost every dimension. One of these is the ease with which senior bankers can leave and found a boutique, taking a good share of their clients with them. That limits how much banks can rein in their rainmakers. It also makes bankers protective of their relationships. The former makes it difficult to add staff to teams. The latter adds friction to a banker in New York trusting a colleague in London with their prized relationships.

As you say, at least in my time, it was made abundantly clear that if you go into banking, you won't have a life for a few years. After that, you will have a gold star on your resume. It will enable you to leave for a better work-life balance. Or stay for more money.
Nude sunbathing etc has been a feature of model railways for as long as I can remember.

This reads like someone who has never used A Tesla’s autopilot or seen the FSD Beta videos from the public Beta test. It can essentially do all the things you are up on your soapbox about already and is improving rapidly.
They should now focus on eyes, because so far it is too easy to tell which is fake. Great development nonetheless!
Soon we will be able to program an expert system that will join a Zoom meeting while we will be free to do other things and then we would get meeting minutes and resolutions.

Seems to work for you.
What do you mean it's not publically accessible? A bank's vault is not publically accessible because there is a meter of steel, concrete, and armed guards.

We can debate if some private bank API's are publically accessible (you can still DDOS them). This shit, however, is inside my property, that I bought with my money, and it might end up being used by some malware. It is by definition accessible, and could be a security bomb.

How can any believer in free market defend companies secretly selling to comsumers the equivalent of a dangerous remote control mechanism embedded in their car?

Market only works if sellers aren't lying all the time, and in IT industry we made it the norm.
Do you think it makes a difference, though, if in one case the system was installed and enforced by a minority in a top-down fashion without general population having a say in it, whereas in the other it appears to be organically arising in society?
What's not in the paper but I find quite annoying in scientific articles is excessively loaded notation. Some variables get to have like 4 or 5 subscripts and equations become unreadable.

I really appreciate when papers get to say at some point "for the sake of clarity, let drop this or that notation" that are not that relevant to the key ideas. Usually it's in the good quality papers.
On the web, people came up with the concept of “mobile-first”, meaning that you should first of all make sure everything can work with the smallest size, and then add whatever adjustments, improvements, extra functionality due to size, &c. for larger screens after that.

(Of course, in practice people made a hash of it (as they always do) and it often became mobile-only design, with users of larger screens getting a comically bad experience that was manifestly designed for tiny screens; but that’s not the idea of mobile-first.)

I’d say it’s generally a sound philosophy, even though at larger sizes you may desire to recompose the UI quite substantially. It’s generally easier and/or safer to design for small screens and reformat or add extras for larger screens, rather than to design for large screens and reformat or remove for smaller screens.

But people definitely regularly don’t go small enough in their idea of “mobile”. I decided some years ago that I would target 300px as my baseline width, and I feel that’s served me well. (And if convenient, I make it work past 260px.) 300px is a bit smaller than anything mainstream, and is thus pretty safe. (I haven’t often done much that needs a baseline height, but I’d use 300px and/or 450px there, considering both portrait and landscape usage as necessary or applicable.)
No competent system developer uses mc to "predict stock prices." None. Monte Carlo is a process for estimating variation in randomized simulations of a system's parameters. It is just one statistical tool for examining simulated trade distributions. On unsampled data it is useful for assessing distributions of performance characteristics. I don't know of one person using mc to try to predict prices however.
I imagine they may be referring to how Goldman Sachs is a pipeline into the most entrenched and detestable levels of government, in both major parties, where they encourage policies beneficial to the financial industry but costly to the people, and generally act out regulatory capture in the most mercenary possible way.
You're assuming it's the small group of people who make the final decision without additional input. Just because a smaller group of people refine and vet an idea, doesn't mean they force it on everyone else.

The problem being solved is that most ideas are not good, so any single person with an idea looks to vet it among a trusted group of advisors/peers. If this group is too large, it's hard to deal with the noise, too small and it may kill or ok an idea when it shouldn't be.

After refinement with the smaller group, an idea now has enough substance to bring to the larger group and hopefully not waste their time.

A simple example this process helps avoid would be pulling together the full group, presenting an idea, and then legal killing it with their first comment. Everyones time was just wasted since the idea as presented had legal issues and needed more refinement.
All true. But you could argue it's beside the point, because che cheaper ones have other significant drawbacks (e.g. range, no driver-assist), and technically better ones are way more expensive. It's the combination of price-point, range, software and scalability in production that's difficult to achieve - any single one is relatively easy metric to beat Tesla on.
Actually yea it is a bit much. Wow. And I ‘am’ European.

The point is law enforcement and regulatory agencies move really, really slowly - they generally like to take time building strong cases, even when misconduct is fairly evident. This activity dates back 3-5 years, and is only being publicly announced now. What's happened since then?
They made a lot of money thanks to an entirely artificial fiat monetary scheme (which is nothing more charity for the socially connected). Then they refuse to pay it forward by investing in useful, transformational projects... Instead preferring to launder the money among themselves as a means of wealth preservation. Wealth which they don't deserve to begin with.
> Maybe you can explain what you mean by "journalists" (quotes and all)?

I don't know how to be any more clear than "can you call yourself that when the show is named after you?", without getting very specific. I'll make another generalization that you'll hate: "journalists" are incredibly vindictive. So I'll not be getting specific.

> I don't think you have worked with journalists in the sense that I use the word.

Oh, you mean people like Kurt Eichenwald... well I have, but not to the same extent.

It is accurate to describe the events leading up to Greenwald's departure as the "journalistic process", but that doesn't reflect as positively on the profession as you seem to think:

HN’s UI in general is not great for phones (though at least it is simple and effective, which is great).
No, if a phone is essential you shouldn’t make people get a loan for it.

If you consider a phone to be non essential than enticing people to get one using a predatory loan scheme is bad. And if it is essential then you should make sure they can get and keep one, and predatory loans are not the solution for that.
After a couple of months of staring at each faces and probably seeing most "configurations" of ones appearance and their room, people now just don't bother to switch on cameras. Not sure if people would like to stare at fake heads when they don't particularly enjoy the real ones...

Tesseract makes me feel like we've gone backwards in 20 years.

I know there have been improvements, and probably impressive ones, but they are not being implemented in any sort of unison in anything easy to use.

If computers can't even read newspapers, which only have a certain amount of fonts and letters/words to chose from how can we think they can do much else.

They have a strong financial interest in pumping up Tesla stock, so I don't know if their "analysis" is much trustworthy.
I used tesseract for something that sounded extremely simple: OCR a date tag and a few characters identifying a large list of photos.
The tag is of very high quality, white over black, a 6yo would read it flawlessly.
I had to use the "old" tesseract (the new one uses ML), probably because the ML-based one was "inventing" characters or swapping them, and could not reliably identify numbers.
Even with the old solution, I had to resize, apply some filters and was barely reaching 99% recognition. For something extremely clean !
So we have ways to go...
How are parameters passed? That is how does Lambda get its resize parameters from just an S3 GET? Are they query params?
what? the book, the lithub article or your comment?
Prolog provides this with so called dynamic predicates.

For example, if we declare the predicate f/1 dynamic using the standard directive dynamic/1:

:- dynamic(f/1).

then we can assert new clauses for f/1 using the standard predicates asserta/1 and assertz/1:

?- asserta(f(a)), assertz(f(b)).
true.

We then get:

?- f(X).
X = a
; X = b.

Rules can also be asserted:

?- use_module(library(lists)), asserta((f(X):-length(_,X))).
true.

yielding:

?- f(X).
X = 0
; X = 1
; X = 2
; X = 3
; ...

I used Scryer Prolog to run these examples.

Dynamic changes to the database have advantages and drawbacks. On the plus side, they let us incorporate new knowledge and rules, and we automatically benefit from built-in features such as argument indexing. However, running the same query twice can lead to different results, changes in the order of goals can affect the meaning of the conjunction, and we can no longer reason about different predicates in isolation. Dynamic changes of the database are said to be side-effects, since they affect the program in a way that is outside the logical interpretation of the given definitions.
On Android, by convention you can long-press icon-only toolbar buttons and the label will show as a tooltip. Non-native apps (fuzzy definition) lack this far too often, but it’s always worth trying. Not sure if iOS has something like this.
I have to pile on the rant - OK, maybe the screen real estate is precious and you don't have space for buttons - but allow me to somehow discover what they do!

In desktop applications, you can over over a toolbar button and you get the label underneath. Why can't I long press a button in a mobile app and get a toast that says what it does? (I see the sibling says this should work, but I don't remember the last time I wasn't disappointed by trying this and failing.) You're making me miss the useless-90%-of-the-time question mark button at the top of every window in Windows!

It's kind of fucked up what I'm about to write because it's putting a price tag on human lives but what ever: the EU was one of the few that openly discussed liability in case of unexpected vaccine consequences - which was one of the things that took longer to negotiate, not the price like many media outlets try to paint the EU has a "cheapstake" that put money in front of vaccines.

>“The contract foresees that liabilities and financial costs are shared among the parties,” the Belgian medicines agency said in a statement about the deal the Commission reached with AstraZeneca on behalf of all 27 EU states, including Belgium.[1]

Upon death the family will be compensated, if it was directly related to the vaccine. So treatment would make always financial sense, first because it's human life, second because it's partially covered by EU and AZ, lastly it's cheaper then death.

What do you mean "got physical"?
These days, by the time you are grinding to make the next level and avoid the 2 year cut you are already past the point we are talking about. The post-hire grind at a FAANG is now closer to what a middle manager at GS would do; it is good money but you are not going to make more than $1M/year working at a FAANG unless you are a rock star or director level. OTOH let me tell you stories about pre-IPO Facebook or Google....
It'll be the same reason as the "cult" of "what I want should be the norm and anyone who disagrees, for whatever reason, must be in a cult"
The government printed a ton of money and stuffed it into rich peoples’ pockets, so it’s not shocking for the value of luxury goods to sky rocket. We’re seeing stock market inflation because that’s where rich people park their extra money and they were the injection point for all the money that got magicked into existence this last year.

I’m sure it’s awesome for a lot of people in HN that have seen massive market gains in the last year, but it freaks me out. I worry about my parents who are very close to retirement since they’re the tail end of the last generation that had defined benefit pension plans. They’re not indexed at rates that can withstand a ton of inflation.

Are wages going to increase when the inflation starts to trickle down to the goods and services the working class rely on?

They have great, extremely privileged positions with ridiculously high pay. They have no right to complain. If they don't love it, they should leave.
