Almost all of these were overly optimistic bandwagon riding on replacements for things that already work fine and most people don't care about replacing.

Fax and optical media are the big exceptions; good riddance. SSD/Cloud are being pushed by an oligopoly of mega-corporations and people don't have a choice. And even then, it's not like CDs are rare like Betamax tapes.

And almost of these are "obvious" directions with respect to adoption beyond enthusiast types who like cool high-tech shit (with the above exceptions). They are niche, not poised for total takeover so complete that a child born in the 2010s would literally never experience them once ever.

Don't confuse "hype in tech magazines" with "things people care about or want". And don't confuse "fun and/or useful technology that will gradually increase in popularity over time" with "overnight society-transforming".
I not only have to trust the immediate authority over the data.

I have to trust whoever has authority over them won't change the rules.

I have to trust who has practical authority IE technical administrators.

And I have to trust the people in those positions for the entire lifetime the data is held, far in the future.

I haven't even gotten to malicious actors and the "defense is harder than offense" part of IT Security.

Good luck with that.

The only way health record digitisation even vaguely works is by people holding their own record, unlocked by themselves only when they want, to who they want. A damn good trick if you can manage it.
Or, it's called Bernanke because the previous system was called Greenspan. And the previous system was called Greenspan because the original system had been named Alan, because someone on the team watched the video of the prairie dog yelling "Alan!" and thought it was funny.
I had jobs where I had to visit clients in Uk, France, Germany and Italy.

It was often plan kinda last minute.

I’m French and was living in Paris at the time.

Of course, for all abroad stuff beside london ( Eurostar ), the plane was preferred.

But for national travel, only one city was too far to reach with a early morning train ride. All other major cities are reachable by a 2 to 4h train ride ( city center to city center )

The city is question is Toulouse. It’s just take too long from Paris. I Had to fly for this one.

Marseille,Lyon,Lille; Strasbourg, Metz, Bordeaux,Nantes, Montpellier, Rennes.

All those cities, I was able to take the first train in the morning. Do the fucking thing. Have dinner there on the client. And fall asleep in the last train. Waking up a midnight or so in Paris.

I had the choice to take a plane. But for the route in question in the article, it was consistently suboptimal.
> Both are digital, of course.

By the way, it annoys me that the word digital is used to mean “downloaded over a network”.

I would open an issue to support RFC 8959 and refuse to mint NFTs with secret-token URIs, but I think instead I will learn how to mint an NFT of RFC 8959.
A use of the bloom filter is to determine whether you need to make an expensive call to storage to check for a match. You use a smaller fraction of memory to avoid 99 out of 100 disk accesses than you would to have a full index of the data.
I think you run into the opposite issue, where equality is too likely and nonequal values return as equal. There might be a sweet spot with something like

(0.1 + 0.2 - 0.2) / 0.1 ==[+/- .001] 1.0 => True
> Nuance has largely failed to fully embrace deep learning approaches.

This may be a feature, not a bug. Explainability is very difficult with deep learning systems, and that often makes deep learning less suitable for some compliance applications like government usage. Microsoft may also still be feeling more conservative after their twitter bot learned so well a few years ago.
>Despite Australia seeming like the perfect candidate for this due to having approximately five cities of note, all spread out over an area larger than the contiguous US, there's basically no industrial specialization on a per-city basis here.

Funny you should mention Melbourne. It is a good historical example of a city fueled by an industry. It grew out of the Victorian Gold Rush in 1850's and 60's.

Melbourne went from less than 75k population to 500k in a 10 year period which was massive growth.

At one point it was the richest city in the world. The legacy from all this still exists today. It is why a lot of Australian banks etc are Headquartered in Melbourne, because they have their roots in gold rush.
AirPods Pro are good, but they only support iPhones/iPads as a source (I assume they'll add Apple TV later).

I've heard the Sony system is good, but audio has to be encoded in Sony's format.

I used to own the Smyth Realiser 8 and it was awesome. The latest version is the 16. It's rather expensive, which is maybe why the source article didn't mention it, but you can feed it almost any surround sound source. It's probably the most versatile (and expensive) of the bunch:

Are airplane rides actually cheap, or are they heavily subsidized?
There are electorates that are not as enlightened basically. Trump got the second largest vote total of any American president (aside from Biden). That’s the reality of who is actually out there in the country.

Contrary to popular belief, our representative democracy actually works. The representatives suck because look at who they represent. Mitch McConnell actually gets voted in every year.

Many electorates are not evolving or are evolving at a generational pace. Most of our common sense reforms like marijuana legalization or gay marriage are happening due to a generational shift where the new electorate votes differently than the last one. It will seem like disruption, but what will happen is we will stagnate again as this generation never changes their views again until they are dead.

This is very hard to disrupt unless we make most electorates across the nation open minded, willing to try different things, nimble (not necessarily fickle), and willing to vote differently throughout their lifetime.

You can take a look at how many times gay marriage legalization actually failed as a California ballot referendum, and that’s in the most liberal democratic state in the country. We consider that state to be a decade or two ahead of others in terms of ideas, and even they are slow.
This struck a cord with me. I started working remotely way before the pandemic and the first year or two were rough, as I'd lost the ability to spend time with work friends. However, I eventually (especially as my kids reached school age) was able to start building relationships in my community that weren't work related. These friendships, broadly speaking, are healthier than my when I had many more "work friends." As the article talks about, the level of enjoyment and stress relief is just higher then sighting time with work friends. Perhaps going fully remote wasn't necessary to get there, but I'm now happy with where I am.

Although perhaps "do nothing for you" isn't quite right. My dearest friends from childhood don't work any where near tech. One does facilities maintenance on a golf course. However, there are times when I feel awful- after the death of a relative, a problem or setback at work, or a when I'm frustrated by my family. I'll call up one or some of these old friends and at the end feel better. Sometimes it's because they were able to give me perspective, sometimes because they could remind me of who I am and what my values are, and sometimes just because it's good to hear thier voice. However, they inevitably make me feel better, restore my confidence, or help me focus, and that is definitely something.
If the limit is 35mbps up, and there isn't any throttling based on usage, what's wrong with using that 24/7? That's the service he's paying for.
After living in various Asian metros it really does seem that private markets have done wonders for quality of service - I live in Japan now, but while it isn't cheaper per se, it's definitely a phenomenal quality of service, and far from the only great system I've seen in the region.
Fuel taxes tend to hit rural people pretty hard, because they drive a lot of miles and most of it is non-optional. If you live in Paris you can just decide not to drive, which won't work as well for you in rural France.
Sure, but those are usually written in a compiled language that LLVM will pass over anyways, generating optimised code.

My point is that this all "mac is optimised for the hardware" "nonsense" is very non-techy. Sure they don't need to worry about drivers the same way, but it's still x86 or arm, people already target these so it's just about whose code and architecture is the better.
Then why does Spectrum sell a consumer service that allows users to do that?
Arguments could be made that it's inefficient or un-ergonomic, though I'm doubtful how much difference it makes on a modern keyboard. There's an oft-repeated story about the qwerty layout being designed to keep people from typing fast enough to jam typewriters. I can't speak to the legitimacy of the story, but I do collect typewriters and I can say for sure that there's a lot more pressure and key travel (and time!) required to slam a type bar into the ribbon than is needed to press a modern keyboard key.

I learned Dvorak a decade ago and loved it unless someone else had to use my computer or I had to use a shared computer. I'm typing this on a qwerty keyboard and I'm okay with that now.
Take into account the confort and speed of the European train. I was shock in my first Amtrak travel. ( then I took a greyhound )

I agree with the claim that they are sensitive to sleep deprivation, though.
This is actually pretty cool! Would be awesome for smaller teams or clubs to use as an analysis tool.
Ask HN: Is it good to conduct a transaction after creating a crypto addresss?
I know it is customary to not give an empty wallet or purse, you never open an bank account with nothing in the account! Regarding BTC addresses or any other crypto...,Is there a vulnerability in generating a crypto address for payment, then losing possession due to another transacting on that generated address before the keys have been written (or broken) to the blockchain? For example the entity you provide the address to for payment?

Also, I may have access to a few cycles on Dwave unit and can finance a couple terrabytes of AWS BRACKET data to load a blockchain for a PoC if what I am saying makes sense and you are interested in breaking/exploiting blockchains.

PS: As a PoC exersise I might be able to raise enough capital to hire a few hashing services to prove out a 51% @ttack. If you have an issue with Dwave. Or should I just save my money and wait for the cruise ships to start up again? :P
It's about the licensing. BSD allows Apple to pick and choose what they release source for.
Microdose mushrooms. Seems silly but you can break your thought patterns by disconnecting your brain from well trodden paths.

I think Michael Pollan is onto something
Yes, this is not clear because that would ruin their marketing mojo. Either let this guy use the service or fire the merketing head or accept the cost of poor marketing and let people use the service uncapped. Bad press is worse than a fineprint with the actual cap. Reasonable service is not describing anything. Reasonable is 1GB for some, 500GB for some, 5TB for some. Bad press will make it clear this was deceptive advertising and there is no real unlimited option.

Clearly the customer picked a service for their need in order to use backup: unlimited bandwidth checked that box.
If it was making money, why was this product shut down?
I find it silly that people think that train fares should cover a train's value. Few people are riding trains just because they really love to sit on a train. The value is in that you got from point A to point B. Unsurprising that East Japan Rail is super profitable, given that they're only partially a train company - rather they're a real-estate play that builds human conveyor belts into shopping/apartment/office complexes they control.

Ordinarily I am skeptical of private enterprise to serve the common good, but in the case of the public transit system here in Japan and other Asian metros it really does seem to have produced great outcomes.
It's because of the lack of 3D content for TV. Occasional 3D movies, that you'd better watch in a cinema, is not a very big incentive. For games there are VR helmets.
I just don't understand this mind set. Just learn SQL and not only is it not hard to maintain SQL, you'll find its so much easier to manipulate data.

Just get something like JDBI for the row set to POJO mappings.
Tools have a very hard time understanding arbitrary gradle scripts. Since your config language is Turing-complete, you can easily subvert any kind of assistance from tools like Intellij IDEA.

Parsing XML on the other hand and adding some semantic to well-defined tags or even plugins: That's much simpler and more robust.

(Yes, you can do scripting inside some maven plugins, but if you do that, I'll come over and sit on your keyboard until you can convince me that there was no other way)

Avoid gradle like the plague.
Using the service you paid for within the limits set by the provider cannot be excessive. "Excessive" would, by definition, require exceeding the set limits.

He's definitely an outlier on the usage, but someone has to be the highest usage customer. Why not this guy?

Sonic.com specifically says "Sonic’s internet is unlimited and uncapped. No matter how we deliver internet to your address, we'll run the connection at its maximum possible speed."

I have 1Gb/s in both directions, over fiber. They had no objection when I uploaded a terabyte to begin a remote backup.
The “he was a bad guy” argument is one of the weakest. There are objectively “badder” guys that are current or recent US allies.

The Biden administration refused to even sanction MbS after signing off on a report that he is responsible for Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. I suggest you have a look at the last hundred years or so of Central and South American history for a wealth of awful examples, but you can look at I think any continent except Antarctica.
These contracts are private, as long as neither party seeks to break the deal - then no regulatory agency will intervene. Jane would be fighting a long battle with BigCo.

In terms of economic bindings in the contract. It's possible to require Jane to have a nominal loan equal to the market value of the property due to BigCo. Jane would need to both claim ownership (hard), break out of the loan (harder), or go bankrupt.

AFAIK the French rail system is set up so that Paris-X is a good connection for most X, but travel between city pairs that don't contain Paris is much more difficult... because you have to travel via Paris.

Most of them do better with 2 speaker output. It's competitive, having a realistic sound is usually worse than one that is easily distinguishable.

I actually would be more concern about the food produced in California.

I wonder if we just hit a technology wall. The glasses were a pain, the non glasses ones didn't work so well and nothing else better could be found.

People were willing to put up with the inconvenient version for the novelty but they quickly wanted something better and no one could provide better. 3D video may come back with mobile VR devices.

I don't think that people simply didn't like 3D video, only that we weren't able to give a good enough experience for it and one day if someone invents something that does it better, it will come back.

There are dense areas of the US where passenger rail could be much better than it is. Around Boston-Washington for example.

Miami metro (6.1m) is bigger than SF-Oakland metro (4.7m) but smaller than the SFBA (7.1m) and much smaller than the greater bay combined statistical area (9.6m), whereas the greater Miami statistical area is similar to Miami metro (6.8m). Comparing the sizes of sprawly megalopolis areas like this is hard, but it's certainly not true that Miami area is more populous than Northern California.

It seems Spectrum tried to compete them with an inferior service and the usual deceptive marketing. Now they don't like it when a customer is testing those claims. I think they should let it go this time or change the marketing. I wonder if they can be sued for that though probably nobody would bother..

Interesting, as far as I know, PHP's Doctrine was influenced by Hibernate but it doesn't require parameterless constructors, and data is hydrated directly as object fields, without requiring getters/setters. What's the reason for enforcing such requirements in Hibernate?
A Man Was Killed by Brutal Boomerang Blow 800 Years Ago (2016)
I've definitely seen TGV sell out in France, and would recommend buying your ticket in advance, depending on the trip. SNCF is sadly taking the airline fare route, with intricate pricing and non-sensical fare (sometimes 1st class is cheaper than 2nd class, and I'm not sure two people riding the same train pay the same price...). I hate this system with passion.

But unless it changed recently, it's not quite like that with the shinkansen in Japan. I would usually buy a ticket in advance for a late time trip around 10pm (with reserved seat), just in case all shinkansen are sold out (never happened, but I'm the anxious kind). On the date of travel when I'm ready to leave I just go to the train station, and ask at the counter to change my ticket for the next shinkansen. It's completely free, including the reserved seat, although maybe that's only for the Nozomi shinkansen? Not sure for Kodama/Hikari. Never had an issue with the next shinkansen being full, but maybe I've just been lucky.

I was mostly traveling between Osaka and Tokyo, where there is one shinkansen every 6 minutes at rush hour, and at worst one every 20 minutes. So in practice the waiting time was practically nil, and I loved the flexibility of being able to decide until the last minute to either dine out in Tokyo with my friends, or simply head back home earlier.
I just wanted to use a one word reply, but that might have lacked the context. So I will say, good job :)
I get the sense from other comments in this thread that I did indeed miss the point - it is satire. Just a little too subtle IMO.

Interesting that this would be contentious - child trauma victims especially have reported giant chunks of missing memory, like almost no memories before the age of 8.

The ability to elicit fake memories shouldn’t imply forgotten traumatic memory is impossible.
And he would have some sweet grounds to sue your company on, since your stupid marketing team advertised it as an "Unlimited" connection, the contract doesn't actually specify that he can't, and he called and got confirmation from your company that he could use his connection to it's full ability. Great way to get his internet paid for for years.

-False advertising
-Breach of contract
-Theft
-Racketeering?
It's only unusual because upload has been knee-capped for decades.

Let's say you have several 1080p videocamears, and you want to constantly upload their output to an off-site video vault for notary+witness and monitoring services. That could easily approach this workload for a decent home security setup. That's without any other services, like video-conferences or any other form of discourse or work from a residence. (Not as a "business" in the sense of operating one out of a home.)
Some of the most accomplished stand-up comics still struggle with anxiety. So being comfortable with presenting, humor, and maintaining an audience isn't necessarily sufficient.
I mean, if the apps is built for current windows, it runs and has all access to all APIs the system has for apps. So apps like Transmission will load after startup and will be seeding torrents in the background, you don't have to be on some special list to do that.
With clang you can make a unique_ptr that is though. It just cannot be used for the std one as that would break existing code. But clang has an attribute [[clang::trivial_abi]] and with that the cost really is zero compared to a pointer.
> saves you from having to spin up the JVM every time you build

Too bad most CI/CD pipelines are effectively stateless, spinning up a new vm, docker image, or whatever for every run. Gradle's cold startup time is awful now that they've pushed more and more into the deamon, make it a major bottleneck in build times.
It’s honestly just more trouble than it’s worth. I have a 3D TV (by relative accident) and I’ve never used the 3D functionality. Even going to the movie theater it was honestly never a big draw once I got over the novelty of it, which happened approximately 2/3 of the way through Avatar. That was almost the only content that was ever specifically made for the 3D format—a quickly forgotten, crappy science fiction movie that wasn’t even that much better in 3D compared to 2D.

VR might be another story, since VR content has a much more convincing 3D effect. But that entails pretty fundamental changes to cinematography, and requires the viewer to wear a massive headset that blocks out the real world; having some friends over for a movie night is virtually impossible.
