There are color laser printers.

On a monochrome printer, I guess you can still to steganography by messing with the dithering, I guess? However, since the stated aim of the fingerprinting is to catch money counterfeiters, I guess they are less interested in monochrome.
"I would still consider WWI the last hurrah of prestige wars (where an essentially divine monarch instigated war for personal reasons and had the authority to enforce his will over the entire nation)"

I agree to that, but I would add, that the monarch did not had to enforce their will on the nation. At least germany was very willing to go cheering into war. And I believe england, too and france (without a monarch), too.
In russia it was more enforced, but the tsar eventually lost his power and life over it.

It was a nationalistic war - each side fought for the glory and power of their nation (whether with a monarch, or not).
And maybe yes, the last big hurah war - where war was welcomed by the majority of the population.

WW2 had to be presented as neccessary and forced upon from the outside. Even in Nazi-germany. Some youth went into the fight eagerly, but most of the elder generations had way too many memories of the last one, which was not so glorious alltoghether.

(Oh and I certainly do not have a rose tinted view of pre WW1.)
"OIL LENS: hufhuf oil held in static tension by an enclosing force field within a viewing tube as part of a magnifying or other light manipulation system. Because each lens element can be adjusted indivually one micron at a time, the oil lens is considered the ultimate in accuracy for manipulating visible light."

Mullvad doesn’t do this, most providers do but I agree that this generalization is unfair to the VPN being discussed here.
That's how these offshoring consulting companies make money: for every 7 fresh undergrads, there is one senior person. They pay $3500 per annum for these cheaper resources; the senior resource gets paid about $16000 per annum. Profits for these consulting companies come from these $300 per month resources.
Even though it may be cookieless, you won’t « get away with GDPR » with fingerprinting.
Right, but PVS-21s aren't networked devices are they? I thought the AR "features" were pretty limited and was more an evolution that combined what previous NVG and thermal imaging had done as separate devices. I haven't used them before.
Ask HN: Venmo wont close my account until I give them more personal information?
I have venmo, used it once. Found out that it uses plaid and have access to all my transactions 24/7. I wanted to close it down, but customer support refused to do it until I give them MORE information
You only have to relocate for a maximum 6 months and 1 day. As in, your US address needs to be in the lower tax state.

So, if its after June when your windfall hits, that particular option is removed and you have to focus on offsetting deductions.

But it resets January 1, every year :)
Reddit gold makes tons of sense. People can pay money to amplify the opinions they want amplified. Reddit actually monetized internet arguing.
It wasn't really always the case. If you scroll back, so to speak, a generation or so, the further and further you get, the less necessary it was to win the trifecta of being Attractive, A Dancer, and a Live Performer. Let alone songwriter. There's only so many people that are all 4 and you know all of them by name.

You could be VERY plain looking, and unable to dance at all, and chart in in 1965.
Yep that happens to me every now and then..
Some thoughts:

1. Firefox is a huge codebase. 10% of that is still quite a bit.

2. Some highly complex core parts of firefox such as the rendering engine are at least partly written in Rust.

3. The bits written in Rust are not all isolated from the bits written in C++. In places they intertwine at a function level of granularity.
Yikes, that sounds pretty harsh. So how would a new player be able do enter?

I thought only the hardware could be patented, not the software, and so SDR would level the playing field, but that's perhaps too naive?
I don't think so, these statements move stock prices, so SEC regulates what a public company can put out in their press releases / statements like these.

The open ended wording is more likely due to some variability in the services being rendered, for example there could be agreed rate for services with minimum and expected and cap on spends, however the actual value would change during the course of the project, with the quoted value being a reasonable estimate .
That anti feature is absent there. Black instead of yellow dots would be very visible
Odd how HN is often favourable to Greenwald and Assange but not to Winner, who seems to have no fanbase. She doesn't appear to be a spy but a straightforward leaker?
The main page of System Preferences has more icons than then equivalent "Settings" page in Windows 10, are you talking about something else? Sure, you can find more complex control panels further down in Windows, but the equivalent in OS X is the "defaults write" interface, which is hardly Mac-like.
But that's not what the statement was - that it's always 1 to 1, which it always is. If you have a $1 bill from 1973 it still can be exchange for a 2021 $1 bill. If you look at today and tomorrow, sure, the value will change, but bitcoin has also gained and (occasionally lost) buying power. The statement is doubly useless as you could also say that "1 oz of Gold has always been worth 1 oz of gold." so it's not just currencies, it's also commodities that this rule is going to apply to.

Except for occasional flare ups, mine is pretty much gone and at worst was pretty debilitating (eg hurt to pick up a glass of water). I think all of these do a lot:

- Exercises and stretches from the pdfs here: https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/. Finding some that feel kinda good and then doing them a few weeks worked better than suggestions from doctors. I do the exercises as part of my warmup for my normal 3x a week workout and do the stretches at the end.

- Use a stylus for my phone at all times. Just the type that is a ballpoint pen with a rubber tip on the cap. Also a pop-socket to hold it with.

- Cut down on bike riding for the sake of my wrists.

- Play mostly console games, less phone and PC b/c consoles have more ergonomic controllers.

- Fasting. I do at least a 24hr fast every week and that always works at least temporarily. I have several problems related to inflammation and for some people this helps a lot.

Geekiest bonus suggestion: use XFCE as a desktop and configure all the hotkeys so you can do things like move windows around with the keyboard.
I missed a comma in that: closed source phones, low power feature phones, and Blackberries. The N900 is a different, rare breed that did not see widespread adoption.

Fun fact: the first Android phone was the sooner, and it looked and behaved much like a blackberry. Still have mine, in fact.

Because to complete a bitcoin transaction it needs to be accepted on the block chain.

That incurs a relatively high flat fee (somewhere between $5-$50 dollars in recent times).

It doesn't make sense to pay this fee for small amounts (though is great for large amounts).

You can get around this by using exchanges and the equivalent of credit cards where multiple transactions are rolled up into one wallet to wallet transaction. This comes at the expense of volatility or if your bullish it comes at the expense of having to float a growing bitcoin reserve.

This is not an option for a lot of businesses, basically you need a 3rd party provider for it to make sense for these businesses and realistically that means they're getting cash value at time of trade and it's the provider that is taking on the volatility risk/reward of waiting to trade there bitcoin.

My interest in the topic carried me through Ulman’s Corsera course...the second time back when such things were free.

Which is only relevant in the sense that what changes is our relationship to the material over time. Our interests evolve. Same our expectations.

Ulman wrote the book. It’s hard to do better than that in many of the ways that matter.
This is an interesting result. Basically cellular biologists debugging cells the same way folks who don't understand how a program works debug it, by chopping parts off until it fails and then adding back bits one by one until it works again :-).

At some point, not today and perhaps not in the next 20 years, humans will understand exactly how cells and DNA "work" from first principles to final behavior. At that point, humans will either cease to age and never suffer from disease (Venter would have liked that), or humanity will be wiped out by a malicious organism that is designed by a deranged practitioner.

Yet another technology produced Lady or the Tiger challenge.
Except that it never seemed to make any sense, even at the time. Early on, we were seeing cases double every three days. It seemed extremely unlikely that that level of transmission could come from surfaces alone. The most reasonable early guess should have been that it's airborne. Yet experts were telling people to wash their hands and NOT wear masks. Maybe they were conflating "no evidence of airborne transmission" with "evidence of no airborne transmission"? And we were told not to wear masks, yet we also needed to make sure that health care workers had PPE. But if masks were bad for us, why were they necessary for them? Maybe they wanted to conserve limited supply for the front line?
Bitcoin also runs on infrastructure that is backed by the exact same forces. Networks, electricity, the computers. You couldn't have Bitcoin if those resources weren't protected by your government.

Otherwise I can for example find the top 100 largest Bitcoin miners and walk up to their door with guns and demand all their Bitcoins or I'll blow up the mines.
Will that hold true for the rest of time? If not, a more descriptive word would have been better than 'modern'.
Whew! That's a big question.

I'm assuming this is going to run in the browser so you have the same platforms available as you would building anything else. If you are the lead or only dev, then the most important factor is picking a platform that you can understand and work with, and by platform I mean language, frameworks, and tooling that you'll need to get the thing running. Asking devs "What's the best platform?" is like asking fashionistas what the best clothes are. Everybody likes different stuff. There are even no-code/low-code options that could probably be used to pull off something like you're looking for.

That's the tech side. Now if you're thinking of this becoming a business, you have a whole slew of other considerations when picking a platform, mostly related to deployment. Is this cross-platform? Is there a mobile app? Who will host it? Etc. If you know you're going for a commercial product, it's worth examining the entire "software lifecycle," as it's called, to see how you'll get that worked out. For there is no such thing as a software product, only a software lifecycle, meaning releases, fixes, upgrades, support, legal, etc.

For a consumer to borrow funds the nominal rate is negative? Where have you seen this? I'd like to see a citation.

The reason this rate cannot be negative is that demand will immediately fill it up and use it for arbitrage (shove the money under a mattress and pay back the loan later) before it can become negative.
It think zig makes quite a bit of sense for micro-controllers where you need really precise control of things, avoid lots of bugs simply by having all memory statically allocated, and you need to do a lot of unsafe bit twiddling anyway to interact with hardware.

Lol well why would we do that? Just inventing random problems at this point.

No, Python's lambdas can have as many lines of code as you please. They are not limited to one line.

I'm not sure where this myth comes from, but I see it a lot. Maybe some people think that "lines of code" == "statements", but these are not remotely the same thing, even if they happen to coincide in simple cases.

Python's lambdas are limited to one expression in the implied return statement, but not allowing multiple statements in lambdas is no real limitation when programming in the functional style, as the true functional languages have no statements to speak of, only expressions, and their lambdas work exactly the same way Python's does. A single expression is all that a functional programming language's lambda needs.

Multiline lambdas are considered poor style in Python ("Why not use a `def`?" they'd say.), so you may not see them much, but they do work. The Hissp compiler, for example, relies on this feature. (I am the author of Hissp BTW.)
Well they can receive and display a video input from an external module some of those modules are networked and provide sensor fusion.

I’ve seen modules that stream live navigation data, blue force tracking and video feeds. The only difference is that it’s a bulky external module which connected via a cable.

You also have small clip on modules for things like thermal imaging and video recording/streaming.

Other than that the PVS-21 is an AR headset the intensified image is projected on the lenses which allows the user to see through the headset just like any AR headset and it can display data from an external source.

https://www.steiner-defense.com/imaging-systems/cehud-confor...

Edit: It’s just not as sexy and tech loaded as the hololense but honestly I think the PVS-21 model is better the interface with the HMD is optical and the modules become smaller and more capable as technology advances.

It looks like what used to take an external box the size of a hand radio is now wireless has an OLED display and fits in the screw cap of the optical interface port.
If he's moving to escape taxation, it's not legit (in the eyes of the Franchise Tax Board), and if he did the work while he was living in California, they're going to want (and almost certainly will get) their share.
The article quotes the guy who led the ACLU from 1978 to 2001:

> My successor, and the board of directors that have supported him, have basically tried to transform the organization from a politically neutral, nonpartisan civil liberties organization into a progressive liberal organization

You are of course not obligated to agree. But acting like it's just the author sharing his funny opinions seems a bit disingenuous.

If you are a progressive, you might not object to the turn the ACLU has taken. For liberals and conservatives, it's been a marked decline. The same is true for the SPLC.
I am genuinely curious (even though this may not be the best place to ask) : are you the only mod running around trying to keep HN in one piece or are there more (also because you often say "we" (banned, warned,etc.))

In any case, great work.
I would think you could get a lot of utility from the hololens without actively operating anything.

The potential for passive blue force tracking alone seems pretty awesome to me (but you'd certainly know better)
I really don't see what the big deal is. We live in an age of intense, personal, for-profit surveillance, why should I care about printer watermarks?
There is nothing to bat for i.e. no royalties until the song has been sold.

No song can be sold in significant number until it has been recorded by a famous artist backed by a well resourced record company.

By the time a song has been sold in significant numbers, it is too late for ASCAP or the Songwriters Guild to act, because the song has already been credited to an artist who didn't actually write it, because the songwriter signed away his or her rights in order to bootstrap the song.

You may think "that's not fair", and you may be right, but the difficulty is that a famous artist can make as much money selling a song that is not quite as good as a "great" song, and the supply of OK songs far exceeds the supply of "great" songs.

What even is a "great" song? It is difficult to tell, and even more difficult to prove, until it has been recorded by a "great" artist, and bought by millions of fans of said artist.

By that point, a contract exists crediting the "great" artist with writing or co-writing the song. This contract can be defended in a court of law by an ordinary lawyer working for a "great" record company, or better still, by a "great" lawyer working for a "great" record company.

When it comes to greatness, the medium is the message.

You can't. Borg binary authentication is integrated with build and review. A build that does not descend entirely from reviewed, approved, and committed code running as a production user with access to userdata will raise alerts. Individuals are able to run non-committed code on Borg under their own accounts, but not under production role accounts.

You can break glass in emergencies by committing code TBR, or "to be reviewed", however this automatically escalates to owners of the code in question plus your manager and director, and all TBRs have to be resolved by actual review within a short time. An author cannot submit to-be-approved code; they have to be owners of the code in question (personally or transitively included in the OWNERS file) to TBR.

You can read about this system here: https://cloud.google.com/security/binary-authorization-for-b...
I definitely enjoyed multivariate calculus for its own sake (I too took physics afterwards.) I think part of that though came from reading a linear algebra book on my own time which I did understand the applications for.

Part of studying math at a University is learning to learn it without application though. I feel like including applications for everything would make that harder.

The decision on whether to reuse or recycle should be informed by lifecycle analyses of the costs and externalities of both options. Maintenance isn't free of externalities and it will presumably be much higher in a system made up of older batteries. The opportunity costs shouldn't be entirely dismissed either - lower hanging fruit for removing emissions may be available elsewhere.
I for one would trust far more to Mozilla foundation's brand than any random small VPN company to not abuse the user's trust or lie about its actual practices. From what I've been reading most of VPNs on the market actually have some level of privacy flows, so it's not such an easy choice as it might seem - especially for people outside of US.

This reminds me of when Perrier water was recalled in 1990 after it was found to be contaminated with benzene. The contamination was only discovered because a random environmental protection lab had been using Perrier instead of deionized water for convenience. They were puzzled when benzene spikes started showing up in their samples. Eventually they realized their samples were find and the bottled water was the source.
> much in the way we come up with a new flu shot every year

I'm hoping that since it is a coronavirus, and not influenza, it won't mutate anywhere near fast enough to evade vaccines on a yearly basis. Right now SARS-CoV-2 is getting a best case environment for mutation. When a substantial portion of the world has been vaccinated, the mutation rate is going to drop significantly, and hopefully with perhaps one more iteration of the vaccine (given to the whole world, granted) we can dispense with this virus altogether.
Most successful Patreon projects do provide extra value to the people who subscribe, though.

I agree completely. When I was taking an A-level course (UK) in Pure Maths (circa 1970) I had the hardest time working out why I should care about calculus at all, except to hopefully pass an exam (which I did, with the lowest possible grade). If I had taken the Applied Maths course, which applied maths to physics, I'm sure I would have done much better than I did, but I couldn't because of timetabling constraints with my other two A-level subjects.

But the US dollar was tied to a fixed amount of gold back then. When overseas influential creditors demanded that the US give them gold for their dollars like the US said it would, the US complied by buying it from US citizens at a fixed price 20-50% below prevailing gold market value. Once all the gold was given away, the US was able to abandon the gold standard. Once the gold standard was abandoned, the US was able to escape from the Great Depression of the early 1930s. Countries that left the gold standard sooner recovered faster from the Great Depression than countries that were slower to abandon the gold standard.

The US dollar is not backed by any amount of bitcoin so I don’t expect to see this happen with bitcoin.
