Dropping the voting age from 18 to say 12 only increases the voter population by ~9%. So, it’s wouldn’t significantly change how campaigns are run. But the nuances of what changes might be really interesting.
The 8237 is an ISA device and operates at the bus speed (with some overhead, ymmv, yada yada). The bus didn't get faster so the devices it automated didn't get faster.

But PC DMA certainly did get faster. The PCI bus has bus mastering DMA (i.e. none of that fly-by nonsense implemented by the 8237) as a core feature, and PCI network cards used it. But they were expensive for quite a few years, so we were still buying ISA cards well into the 90's. Which were slow. Because ISA.
I wonder what's up with the lack of discussion going around here on hacker news.
yes, but in reality i have a a GPU or a wall heater as my actual choices and heat pumps are exceedingly rare in my area.
The only two places I use Chrome are Netflix and Costco. Costco's behavior is just plain weird:

"Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://www.costco.com/" on this server."

Is this from running NoScript? Or does it affect all Firefox users? (Also the URL is https://, not http://, so the error message doesn't match the URL).
That's my question here too. Most of the users here bathe themselves in their logic and integrity, yet glorify the most destructive "art form" in history so far.

Edit: classic downvote without reply. Pathetic.
They have been stone walling. The WHO was not allowed into the lab for a long period providing time for a cover up there was no agreement investigation until September 2020. They were then told to take the lab workers testimony at face value and not investigate the lab leak hypothesis any further.

Doctors have escaped and claimed that it was lab engineered

I'm specifically talking about dismissing concerns about how bad employees are protected or how promotions are handled.

> They don't either in the non-union corporate world either.

Basically, people have seen for themselves that unions seem to be anti-meritocratic beyond what companies they've seen do, and that's simply dismissed.

Sorry, I meant X. Wrote X11 out of habit. But X11 is a version of X, so I still think the relevant date is 1984 and in 1996 I was still writing modelines in my X conf file... and at least with Wayland you don't have to worry about a misconfiguration frying your monitor.
I don't have any first-hand experience, but here in the Czech Republic (not rich by any means, but still pretty up there) there are some places that have the reputation of ghettos. They're mostly located in border areas, which had a sizeable German population a were annexed by nazi Germany. After World War 2, most of the Germans were driven out and "resettled" under the communist regime. Add heavy industry and mining activity sometimes destroying the original towns and you can see how the region might not be the most cheerful place. Someone also had the brilliant idea of moving all the Roma from a town to a separate ghetto, which turned out as expected.

It's not that any city is altogether full of crime and poverty, personally I'd say they're just less desirable with full-on "crime and poverty" being noticeable only in some hotspots (but then again, I don't live there and only ever visit for short periods of time, so really all I can say is "it doesn't seem that bad").
I'm typing on a phone keyboard so forgive my typo.

And I linked to a literal mountain of evidence describing both my credentials on this topic and then an extremely detailed and heavily sourced set of arguments.

I'm not talking out of my ass, I'm sorry it sounds that way. After you have several hundred of these discussions and they keep popping up with zero new evidence, it tends to color your attitude.

If you're on a Mac, using Firefox with uBlock Origin is a realy nice experience:

- no ads on Youtube

- I prefer the Firefox dev tools over Chrome for vanilla-js.

FYI: I'm one of the earliest and longest-term users of Firefox, starting at Netscape in 2000. Never had a reason to switch.

>We know about the CoV-1 leak because /the chinese scientists told us about it./

Sometimes humans tell the truth, sometimes humans don't.

Pointing to one group of people who told the truth, and asserting that means another group must be telling the truth is just silly.

Especially considering the former example was in regards to a small accident relative to potentially the greatest accident in human history.

I know I would be strongly inclined to lie if I was responsible for the accidental death of millions of people.

If a human being was not inclined to lie about their responsibility for greatest accident in human history, why would humans ever lie about any mistake?
Yes. I don't think they're doing any real investigative work with cars either. But of course the likelihood of actually recovering something that big and complicated does go up slightly anyway. And I still don't think they can really do anything unless they happen upon the car and can identify it by the VIN or whatever.
But they’d also sells fewer high end models. I don’t doubt that they’ve done the math.

Most developer activity related to Linux graphics is in dri-devel, it's been like this for quite a while. The X development channels have been mostly dead outside of discussion of XWayland. I doubt you'll see anyone starting any major new features in X.
I feel you... I'm currently writing my thesis and need to catch myself in time when explaining what I'm doing to people blessed by ignorance. Or alternatively, make the joke right away myself, though that's probably a lot easier to do for me as a guy.

On the other hand, it is kind of hilarious to fall out of your abstraction-tunnel for a moment when citing a source called "A short presentation of Coq".

Anyway, I really feel we need to make at least a few more deliberate puns before they change the name. Maybe just end every sentence referring to Coq in an ambiguous manner with "pardon my French."

Given that I use my desktop 90% of the time remotely these days, I'm going to set this up next time I'm home and move my Windows stuff into a VM. Then I can run Docker natively on the host and when Windows stops cooperating, just create a new VM (which I can't do remotely with it running on bare metal, at least without the risk of it not coming back up).

Destroying one AZ in one region would not (should not?) take down a single AWS customer. ALB are multi AZ, it's trivial to deploy services across azs. Everyone should be ok.

Although I'm sure AWS has not done a disaster test where they actually bring one down so who knows if regional services would come out unscathed.

How pissed off do you think he's going to be when he learns that not only was the bomb fake, even if he had a bomb it would have amounted to little more than a disaster recovery test?
Society in the west seems to not know how to deal with this new variety of bullying. By cloaking their bullying in the veil of righteousness, bullies are able to engage in self-aggrandisement to satisfy the tyrannical need to shape the world in the image that they desire, without engaging in the civilized discourse and debate that would preclude such decision making. The justification thrown around is that the cause is righteous and therefore the ends justify the means, which is pretty much the same justification that has been used by every tyrant in the past.

Standing up to them comes at a high cost, but when has it ever been easy. Perhaps the rest of society has too much to lose now.
The reason why we have those plants is because we are destroying entire ecosystems and worsening climate change. Not a good idea.
It seems this book's colours were hand-painted, but I might as well mention two famous mid-C19 examples of colour printing, when (IIRC; I am not an expert) high-quality colour printing was still very expensive and rare:

* the "Sobieski Stewarts'" dodgy Vestiarium Scoticum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestiarium_Scoticum

> It was from Eilean Aigas, in 1842, that the brothers at last published their famous manuscript, Vestiarium Scoticum . It appeared in a sumptuous edition limited to fifty copies. The series of coloured illustrations of tartans was the first ever to be published and was a triumph over technical difficulties. These illustrations were executed by a new process of ‘machine printing’ and, in the words of a scholar writing fifty years later, ‘for beauty of execution and exactness of detail have not been excelled by any method of colour-printing subsequently invented’.

> Hugh Trevor-Roper, "The Invention of Tradition: The Highland Tradition of Scotland"

* Oliver Byrne's colour edition of the first six books of Euclid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Byrne_(mathematician)#B...

And why not throw in Shadows From the Walls of Death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadows_from_the_Walls_of_Deat... with its samples of intensely green arsenical wallpaper?
This is something that I don't like about firefox. They have a ton of cool stuff, but I feel that they are always lacking a few things.

What I always give as an example, is how to add custom searches (Amazon, Reddit, HN, etc), you save the query url and add a keyword. Works very well to type `rdt something` and have the results. But: there's no option in the menu to see all keywords/search engines you have registered.
I was in China during the initial outbreak, and those guys in biohazard suits were definitely performative in my part of town. They walked through the neighborhood with a "reporter" in tow, who made sure that every squirt of their magical anti-COVID pixie dust could be captured on film for posterity. In the China case, I'm not sure if it was to reassure the public (who are used to seeing this sort of performative busywork) or if it was more a kind of political one-upmanship amongst local officials who all wanted to give their superiors the impression that they were the hardest-working or most serious cadre in the area.
I used to listen to maybe 20% of his podcasts before Spotify. After I listen to 1%.

It’s a combination of the Spotify app being really bad and being different than all my other podcasts. I browse new episodes from all my subs through my regular player and rarely open a separate app just to see what’s new with JRE.

I hope he doesn’t renew the Spotify deal.
Believe me, you're preaching to the choir. I personally adjudicate claims, and some of the stuff I see is downright asinine.

All that being said...

> I mean, this doesn't sound reassuring you know. "unlikely" and "depends on the specifics". That's kind of the problem. No one knows what is covered and what is not.

The "likelihood" of this happening, while probabilistic, isn't purely random. I found this tweet by a health policy expert to perfectly capture the status quo: https://twitter.com/CPopeHC/status/1234510323425652737

"American healthcare in short:
~60% (in good employer plans, generous state Medicaid, or M.Adv/Medigap) have the best healthcare in the world.
~30% have insurance with gaps/risk of big bills.
~10% uninsured must rely on uncompensated care, go without treatment, or risk bankruptcy

The strength of M4A proposals is that they begin with an understanding that the 40% exist and need things fixed.
Their weakness is that they pretend that the 60% don't, and threaten to take away what they have."

Amazon is, pretty reliably, part of that 60%; it offers some of the best employer health coverage out there. Like, it doesn't even compare to public health plans in a lot of the world.

All of the problems you brought up (labyrinthine systems, appeal processes, bill collector agencies in Alaska) are real problems that you and I agree need to be solved, but they're also problems that don't afflict beneficiaries of generous plans paid for by rich companies, and that's what we're talking about in the context of Amazon Warehouse workers.
The original commenter is an Indian who would have more reason than most to despise the Royal family and, frankly, the UK in general. Yet they showed genuine compassion and goodwill towards Philip. This was surprising and I thought it interesting to share that as a Brit I have nearly no feelings at all (other than my general dislike of the monarchy). This is a forum, we interact and share our opinions through these comments and what I said was pretty uncontroversial.

If you are bothered by his passing then fine, I'm sorry for your loss. But maybe trying to pick fights on HN is not the most productive way to grieve.
Note that PIO hard drive modes that were unintentionally common back then would also lead to this. You used to have to go out of your way and meddle with specific drivers to avoid PIO mode.

You could have even ended up with a double whammy if not careful. Your hard drive and network might both have relied on the CPU for data transfer in which case the system would really have ground to a halt.
You can present evidence for and against moon landing being a hoax and if done properly the delusional theory among them (hoax) should be really clear. Presenting the evidence as plainly as possible should be elucidating not misleading
I heard second hand that the folks working at Spotify were incredibly unhappy about this Joe Rogan deal, and one of the reasons for that was because leadership steamrolled over any concerns they had. And there were many.

I don't really know who this guy is or why you'd spend 100 million on him to secure a deal. But he's walking away with that money and Spotify is left with the infighting. They fucked themselves over with that absurd investment.
Also, during the last Bitcoin crash Wall Street figured out how to short Bitcoin and other crypto.
A lot of things your grandpa did in 1930s was probably deeply sexist. Are you going to also look at your granpa with vengeful attitude? Society evolves. Forgive the wrong doings of the past, and move forward. Look ahead.
I did tour of Amazon warehouse (they used to run public tours) and most workers there did not look particularly fit or athletic. I would say that people in typical tech office looks more fit. Also Amazon gives you time to ramp up - while your collegues in academia may struggle first week, they will shape up pretty fast.
I'm not talking about house rules. Having good safety rules is fine at venues and I fully support those.

I believe they were talking about setlists, etc. (They refuse to play some songs live, etc) There are artists that are ridiculously over reaching, like the phone bans, face recognition bans, etc.

Is software not manufacturing? How many software engineers are there in the US compared to auto workers?

All of this also ignores the larger economic picture— autos transport goods and people, computers are used to do work in nearly every field. They’re both instrumental to the economy.
I'm not sure about other doorbell cameras, but the basic* Ring camera should only trigger the video recording on proximity detection, so that's like a very near-sighted doorman, who only notices the very nosy neighbors.

*I understand that some more expensive versions do take continuous low-energy recordings, and I do find that somewhat disturbing.
Same experience here! The only problem I have is that the Android search bar seems to ignore the default Browser setting, but avoiding it (opening FF rather than using the search bar widget) is a small price to pay for avoiding ads so effectively.
No it doesn't? I'm on Chrome right now and cannot pop out vimeo videos. Youtube appears to have a "pseudo" pop-out that I suspect is their own js-driven miniplayer thing. Just a fancy change to the DOM. You can't resize, drag the video around, or watch it from other tabs or with chrome unfocused/minimized.
This is so true for every bug tracking system I ever encountered in any company.

We called it the P3 graveyard.

And there's always that lingering feeling that there are few nuggets hidden in there that would resolve the majority of them.
I don't believe in (centrally) planned economy as it it is impossible to get accurate feedback on the state of the whole production apparently, about which industry needs what especially (although new tech could help who knows? ). But you will have a hard time convincing me that throwing away half of the food (and so much other stuff) we produce while having people starving is the most rational solution. So,I don't have a solution but do you agree that there is a problem and are you interested in thinking about how to fix it?

Maybe the solution is not a centrally planned economy but centrally gathered information available to all? Subscription based production? I don't know, just throwing ideas.
You misunderstand, it was only Weston that was started in 2008, and it had screenshots back then. I'm talking about those other implementations, they didn't really stabilize and start aiming to have feature parity until a few years ago, and they decided not to copy Weston's screenshooting mechanism.
They... aren't doing that?
Yeah, but now the comparison for many companies (e.g. R&D dept. is dabbling a bit in machine learning) becomes "buy one big box with 4x RTX 3090 for ~$10k and spin up VMs on that as needed", versus the cloud bill. Previously the cost of owning physical hardware with that capability would be a lot higher.

This has the potential to challenge the cloud case for sporadic GPU use, since cloud vendors cannot buy RTX cards. But it would require that the tooling becomes simple to use and reliable.
Road rage is definitely the fastest escalation path I've seen in the US. Do other countries have road rage the way the US does?
It amazes me that a consensus seems to have formed around this conclusion that Firefox is technically inferior. I have always been using it and it has always been a fantastic browser relatively free of Google's icy tendrils. The technical issues that people bring up about it are usually nonexistent for me, and while I am troubled at its direction it remains an unusually solid and reliable workhorse given the stakes involved and the size of its userbase
The easiest way to answer this is to just say go watch The Wire.
The Sunny in Philadelphia thing makes no sense at all. Supposedly, Tina Fey pre-emptively asked to remove some of her own 30 rock episodes and that caused others to need to look like they’re doing something lest they be caught up in a PR storm. Makes zero sense in the context of comedies using it as the butt of jokes though.
In some country consumer credits are regulated and the interest rate is capped. Also it is not legal in some country to grant a credit if the lender cant't pay it back (e.g. in the european union)
This is honestly a killer feature! I use Temporary Containers and load the AWS console in a fresh container automatically, making it very easy to switch between accounts and have multiple open at once. (Caveat emptor: be sure which account you're using at any given time!)
I don’t know from an advertisers perspective it seems like JRE is pretty mainstream. I don’t recall them having trouble getting sponsors in the past.
He has put in his article a link to the Wikipedia definition of 'Forcing' (and once there, there is a link to a book describing techniques).

How is that legal?

I mean mechanically, how do they get away with it? What legal defense do they use?
For a pandemic it's probably reasonable to err on the side of caution with the over-cleaning and arbitrary/inconsistent safety precautions, but I do wish we could have found a slightly less restrictive approach than we did.

I have a lot of friends very angry at the anti-maskers for their behavior, showing up in stores unmasked and such. And that's reasonable to be mad I suppose.

But I also know the anti-mask people are just as mad at the rest of us, and from their perspective they are just as justified in it.

Wonder if knowing more about Terror Management Theory could help us navigate this friction better, and find some common ground. Or if we need different approaches altogether

Weston being the reference implementation for the protocol, my point stands and you're now picking nits.
1.3. you cannot take any virus known in nature (like Ratg-13 for example) and "cook" it for long enough or in any specific way to make it look like SARS-CoV-2.

You can't do it in the time we've been able to handle viruses like this or modify them in the ways we can. You'd have needed to start a few decades ago, have tools that we've only just invented, and a huge number of willing test subjects.

I cover this in extreme detail in the post I linked under Q2 and Q3.

https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/gk6y95/-/fqpbt6o

https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/gk6y95/-/fqpc7c8

One of the most compelling pieces of evidence is the synonymous/nonsynonomous ratio of the genome and it's mosaic mutations.

That's not something you can just cook up over night, it takes many millions of viral generations which require A) diverse hosts (like you find in a natural ecosystem), B) many millions of hosts, like you find in nature, and C) decades of time.

The chinese virology labs don't have the resources, time, or space to do something like that. And maybe it would be kind of possible today with CRISPR and many thousands of oligonucleotides printed off of a desktop printer, but that technology hasn't existed for more than a few years. The timelines just don't add up.

According to this [1] Spotify makes 91% of their revenue and nearly 100% of their profits based on premium membership, not ads. I find it unlikely that they're messing with their users' interests to make advertisers happy that make up a rounding error in the profits.
