Unicode describes flags of nations that no longer exist, dead languages, etc - I don’t see why having a few pictograms that may or may not be relevant in 1000 years time is the place to draw the line. If skin tones play a role in pictographic communication today, then that’s good enough for inclusion.

Put another way: Unicode seeks to describe all human written language. Emojii is unusual in that TUC is actively playing a role in the evolution of the language, but they’re still trying to describe a written language the way people want to use it. This feature sees a lot of use, which to me says that TUC has correctly described how people want to use pictographic communication.

I've worked on autonomous driving / ADAS, and have read a few university lectures on related software engineering subjects. On one occasion, my presentation was followed by that of a military researcher whose job is basically to study new threats enabled by digital technology.

To my surprise, the military researcher wasn't particularly concerned about software vulnerabilities in cars and similar vectors. We discussed some specific instances of remote car software exploits. His point was, in essence, that all cars with advanced software can potentially be exploited, but that it's not a real threat because all such exploits require special knowledge, equipment and money. For someone looking to assassinate a specific individual, there are far cheaper and simpler methods that are also more reliable, including several methods that involve physically tampering with a car. For someone who wants to cause mass chaos, such as attacking many vehicles in an area, the researcher estimates it requires the capabilities of a state actor or at least a large organization, and they also have cheaper and simpler ways to plunge a city into chaos.
Ask HN: How to get into edu-tech consulting as an educator?
My wife has been a teacher in 3 states, 2 of those during the pandemic, and has taught middle school, high school, and college. She's taught English and math with a lot of the math being AP over the past decade and a half.

Normally she'll pick up summer work as teachers make alright money but by no means great money, this year she was going to grade standardized tests but it appears it's going to conflict with her last 2 and a half weeks of teaching, and then I thought maybe she could start establishing herself as a consultant for edu-tech/funds looking to invest in edu-tech given her varied experience in multiple school corporations in multiple states.

Any advice?
> For example, MMUs are unnecessary if the OS verifies that all programs only access memory that's been allocated to it.

You'd need some sort of proof-carrying code to allow verification of these properties in binaries. Also, features like MMU's and interrupts are needed anyway to implement virtual memory, or user tasks with adjustable priorities.
"Real holograms.
No headgear."

https://variety.com/2018/digital/features/light-field-lab-ho...

However those don't seem to be "real real holograms", but rather something closer to the glasses-free stereoscopic 3D like the Nintendo 3DS or some 3D TVs ?

I wonder how they can manage to have a picture cross the frame of the screen, AFAIK this isn't possible neither with "real real holograms" nor stereoscopic 3D ?

This reminds me the first time I got in the process to sign a 1MM contract. I kept pushing for a price reduction and the sales guy kept giving me clues of how this would affect commission. I had no idea that he was talking about my commission. It was so ridiculous that I involved compliance and shit scaled pretty quickly.

I DO NOT IMAGINE, but WE DO this activity, with a network of volunteers who do the activity after the office hours, weekends and for some of us who has no job at the moment (students or people still looking for a job). We pay part of our salary to fund our activities, we go door-by-door and distribute our journal and fliers and ask people to support us with €2, €5 or more. We found hundreds of supporters, and we started right after the pandemic started. You can also do these kind of activity, we opened other offices in London, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, and now we are going to open another one in Berlin in the coming months. These is a real alternative to charities funded by government and bankers, warmongers, etc.

I'd say for the most part, at least Emojis generally work everywhere I need them and I even get the hatching representations in most VT100-like emulators. the worst case I've seen is some of my environments cannot handle the modifiers, which honestly doesn't matter. I can see the symbols and reconstruct what they mean myself.

First arguing based on existing infrastructure ignores the fact your changing the system therefore any new system is a viable option. All the existing system changes is how much things cost. Anyway, for independent distributed systems you can use probability rather than fixed numbers.

That said, your losing the forest for the trees, the accuracy isn’t that important. You can still bill for actual usage. A 15 minute granularity is vastly better than a 30 day one. As long as you can kill processes you don’t need to check in the middle of every action. Things being asynchronous is just the cost of business at scale.
"We should have options to choose from" is a pretty consistent approach.
> entails not being caught

No, they calculate the cost of being caught and factor that into their margins.

Only problem for them is if they get more time they calculated they would get or that their estate gets confiscated (and LE found where they stashed everything).

Cooperative scheduling would require provable upper limits on the number of instructions run by process between calls to a yield function. When the process is a compute task with an input of variable size, this would result in the need to count iterations and branch in inner loops that you want to be fast. I am not sold on the idea that such an overhead is lower in that case than interrupt driven preemptive scheduling.

Also, task prioritization can be a problem: the rate at which an interrupt-less cooperatively scheduled system must reschedule depends on the response time for the task with the shortest maximum response time. You must guarantee that the scheduler can switch to it in time to meet its deadline. This can increase the scheduling frequency for everything, requiring all components of the system to call the scheduler more often. So you'd have pretty tight coupling between everything.

Oh, this reminds me:

One of my email addresses somehow ended up as the main parent address for a random student at Institut Els Pallaresos, a Catalan school.

To be clear, I have no connection to this person, the emails just started coming out of the blue. I've chased the school to stop sending me emails; they said they'll update the email on the account, but nothing changed.

I currently receive timely updates about this child concerning the following:

* school events

* grades

* misbehaving in school

* missed classes (the kid skips a lot of classes btw)

* performance

I am also able to use my email to sign into the account on ieduca (the software platform the school uses) and see a bunch of personal information (e.g. home address).

I've repeatedly pointed this out to the school and they've done nothing about it. At this point I've resorted to sending all emails to spam.
In my country, we have something called 'medical comission'. Anyone who wants to get a job needs to do it: the employer has to write down the risk factors, such as weight lifting, work at height, climbing, looking at the screen all day,etc. They are standartised categories. Then, the employee goes to their GP and potentially other specialists to establish whether your health is suitable for the job. For instance, my dad arrangend me a job at a local bakery during the summer after school but I failed the medical part as I've got asthma and one of the risk factors was dust in the environment. Once employed, you then have to do it once a year.

This system has its pros and cons but I believe 12 month mandatory checks could pick many things if that would be rolled out nationwide.
I was disappointed by that at first too, but then remembered that it says it detects gestures. A gesture is a series of motions, not the final shape.

You make it sound like interpreting emoji is nuclear physics. Most emoji have clear meanings, who is replacing language for emoji and what does that look like?
> hat's really about the relationship with the user and timing of the request. The best practice is to ask user for a favour right after something good happens and they get value from your app as they will be glad that this app exists.

There’s that user hostility again! Also I’m not sure how the YouTube example is related. When a YouTuber says hit subscribe the user can take a second to do it. They don’t stop what they’re doing and get forwarded to a different website entirely.
In most npm projects, you don't depend on C extensions. For python projects that don't depend on C extensions, you already have your "just works" experience with poetry.

If you really want a "just works" experience when dealing with C extensions, you should freeze your development environment one layer up (e.g. VMs, vagrant images, what have you) so that you can always successfully install and compile your C extensions because the underlying system is also kept under version control. And this is independent of whether or not you are working on a Poetry or an NPM based project.

It's not that hard. I suspect that you're just used to simpler conditions.

Some of that logic (logged in, or exposing stuff based on RBAC) are usually pretty easy in templates of any flavor. And that's usually where I have to revisit for changes, so maintenance shouldn't be bad.

Sometimes I do common things like stored markdown->html by injecting filters into the template context. So {{ comment | markdown }}.

For completely different presentations, you can have separate templates returned by the same endpoint. But it sounds like that actually should just be a separate endpoint altogether. You could use template inheritance for code reuse, but you can also walk into over complicating that if those start diverging over time.

Handling screen variety is best done with CSS (and JS when you have to do something hacky). The HTML shouldn't need to change for that.

Even back to JSPs or early PHP, I learned the hard way to avoid sticking business logic in my "templates" or sticking HTML in my code. Either will work, but maintaining it sucks. And if it is a successful project and you need to change the design in year 3, it'll easily result in a nearly complete rewrite.

I know the cool thing to do now is even just expose the data via REST or GraphQL and do a SPA, but I don't do frontend work enough to get over that learning curve.
The energy in fossil fuels also comes from the sun. Apart from geothermal, it's all sourced from solar, just different ways of storing and extracting that solar energy.
If we went from a non deterministic belief from the beginning, it would change from a function that predicts future states to a probability distribution function. Which would still be learning and/or exploring.

I'm not particularly agreeing or disagreeing with anything, mind you. Just that the universe being probabilistic wouldn't change the argument
Obviously not the same jurisdiction, but this is how it works under UK law. Interestingly it also applies to representatives of that business working abroad which makes certain types of business very difficult to conduct (for example, moving freight in countries where bribery is routine: pay the bribe and you've broken UK law, don't pay the bribe and your product sits in the port waiting for spurious customs paperwork for months).
As long as you don't have a big portion of your net worth in cash, it shouldn't affect you that much. Assets such as real estate, stocks should only appreciate in value in the long run.
That's exactly the same way that Azure for Students works, which is why I use it instead of AWS Educate (well, that and because Azure doesn't limit what services you can use your $100 on, unlike AWS).

Yes, you need some overhead for specifying string literals. For a binary string x of length n, you have KS(x) <= n + O(1) for simple Kolmogorov complexity (where one program can be a prefix of another), and
KP(x) <= n + KP(n) + O(1), for the prefix Kolmogorov complexity, in which programs must be prefix-free.
In this paper [1] of mine, you can find explicit definitions of KS and KP, as well as the theorems above, with specific constants instead of O(1).

Same here. I had a monthly billing of a few dollars and couldn't figure out where it's coming from (and given that it's only a few dollars, it wouldn't make sense to spend many hours investigating). In the end I just canceled the card and hoped for the best.

Why? Says who? Who or what would make them 'toasty-toast'? The toothless regulators? Feckless IT managers who make purchasing decisions? Impoent developers whining on hacker news?

Not sure why you're so confident about this.

a) GCloud is a distant 3rd place competitor in the cloud market anyway.

b) Google's real business is ads, and at some point the numbers might make sense to decide it's worth cannibalizing their dying cloud. (Especially if they're going to pull the plug anyway?)

c) None of the other data scandals has even slightly dented big tech.

I feel exactly the same way. Worked for a big american Telco company that is universally hated everywhere (but unknown enough here in Europe so that they manage to hire) and I feel this is exactly how contracts of this kind worked.

We would hear that this or that product was forced on us because this or that senior executive's friend/relative owned the company producing that product.

In the case of UPS Airlines Flight 6, they did send a message out to air traffic control, but only by relaying messages via nearby aircraft.

> The thick smoke required the pilots to communicate with nearby planes over VHF to relay messages to Bahrain ATC, as Bell was unable to see the radio through the smoke.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPS_Airlines_Flight_6

Given that whatever happened to MH370 occurred during an ATC handover (similar to UPS Airlines Flight 6), it's not hard to believe that the following scenario occurred:

* Shortly after the handover from Kuala Lumpur ATC to Ho Chi Minh ATC the crew realise there is a fire on the aircraft

* The pilot-in-command focuses on navigating to the alternate, while the pilot-observing runs through the fire checklist

* As they transit away from Ho Chi Minh ATC they lose range of the signal

* They don't prioritise switching ATC because they're still quite far away from their alternate and they are busily trying to get the fire under control

* Smoke enters the cockpit at this time and hinders their ability to operate the radio equipment

* They either lose track of the alternate because they are distracted by the fire or determine they can't land till the fire is under control (possibly because they cannot contact ATC), so they end up flying across Malaysia

* They eventually realise their error and attempt to turn back, but by this point oxygen in the cabin has depleted and they are unable to complete the maneuver

These sorts of things can happen, the three-person crew of Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 were so distracted debugging a faulty light bulb that they didn't notice the autopilot disengaging and their plane slowly losing altitude before crashing. I imagine had the CVR not survived, people might be speculating that a member of that crew may have purposely crashed it.
The problem is that it's not about human language. If it was about human language, the consortium would give a shit about Bengali speakers. It's about the sensibilities of a small, particular group of privileged people, in a particular time at a particular place, who consider their weird priorities to be universal.

Let's not forget that adding all this complexity to Unicode has a real burden for people who implement Unicode. In practice, the consortium has to prioritize what symbols to support. So, in practice, it's less "embracing all variants of human expression", and more "the ability to communicate in your native language doesn't matter as much as the gender identity of this police emoji".
Real-world FORTH code has lots of non-trivial stack operations which are quite far from 'optimally' encoded, in fact they're quite unintuitive. You could get quite a bit closer by somehow extending the language with direct representations of data flow and control flow/dispatch, but that of course loses the FORTH property of all composition being represented as simple concatenation of tokens.
This is tens of millions *per game*. Not in total. Epic did notn pay hundreds of millions for any exclusive.

But in addition to that, these are totally different cases and deal structures. Epic was giving minimum revenue guarantees, which they needed to do to offset the lost revenue from other platforms.

Stadia was paying for ports, not for exclusivity. The publishers did not lose the opportunity to sell the games on Steam. (And they were paying it outright, not as an advance.)

Seriously people. These are eye-popping amounts to pay for a port. Whatever the many product and business failures of Stadia were, an unwillingness to pay developers was not among those failures.
I remember someone made a joke about how there were pandemics in 1920, 1820 and 1720, and another user commented that there is a weird flu in some Chinese city. This was either in the last week of 2019 or very early 2020.
