> which is something that no security consultant ever has to worry about

There's enough self-styled cypherpunk infosec experts that might insist on being paid only in BTC and then lose their
decrypted wallet...
I guess BMSs can vary in terms of what they do, but if it just has to monitor the voltages of the cells and bleed small amounts of current through a resistor if it needs to drop the voltage of one or more cells to keep them balanced, then it doesn't have to be all that complicated, nor handle very much current at a time.

Crashworthiness might be a factor, though... lead acid batteries act sort of like a cushion in an impact, whereas lithium-ion batteries that break can cause worse problems than spilling sulfuric acid all over the engine bay.
> You question the sincerity of his apology, then tell him to hire a PR firm.

So? The wording of his apology leaves doubt about its sincerity, which (in addition to the whole ordeal to begin with) lets me believe he would greatly profit from training and advice on matters of communication.

I don't understand what you're trying to imply. That 'PR' automatically seems insincere somehow? Well, better a safely worded statement written by PR than a crude comment that lets your ego shine through, doesn't really remedy the situation and worsens it?
There’s a lot to Lucene, and there’s also a lot to ElasticSearch. And I think they’re fairly tightly coupled.

But I do think that a well-funded and skilled startup team could take a run at ES. They’re a monopoly in their niche. There has to be money in disrupting them.
There are very few instances in which a patient with chronic glaucoma needs monthly IOP checks (vs someone who came into clinic with an acute event and goes on to need emergent surgery.) And in those cases where monthly IOP checks are needed, it is definitely not gold standard to use the air puff test.

I'd say that measuring IOP every 3-4 months is a typical regimen for a patient with more advanced glaucoma; these measurements should always be done via the same method (Goldman applanation) at the same time of day (due to AM to PM fluctuations in IOP) to be the most accurate.
It's an interesting question though. I feel like in this case the right thing to do would be to stop linking to his twitter.

But what if he was a "bad" (in quotes) guy? Like the CEO from the recent repl.it debacle. What if he asks to stop linking to his bullying tweets? Nobody would side with him.

So.. where's the line? Is anything public fair play? Who decides if someone is bad or good? The collective internet mob? Surely nothing can go wrong with that.
>All I'm pointing out to you is that the "profit motive" has nothing to do with that

You have not met that burden. Not even close.

The best case is a mixed environment, with a for profit portion that can address clear for profit cases well.

And those exist!

But, doing that sans a robust system that actually just delivers health care to sick people is crazy bad policy.

There is another argument in your favor out there, and that is consistent, transparent pricing. Or "Equal Pricing"

In Singapore, there are no real surprises and people have options that don't cause them to trade, homes for example, to get sick people they care about healthy again.

Here? Nothing but surprises!

And frankly, that being the case actually does support the difficult argument:

If making money is the priority, then making sick people healthy isn't.

On the other hand, if making sick people healthy is the top priority, and then we talk about money?

Very different scenarios.

The US is firmly entrenched in the former. Examples of the latter exist in the world and perform well.

The profit motive matters. How it's framed, what priority it has, and more all do contribute to the overall effectiveness and again that cost and risk exposure.
Most people do most of their charging at home. Our off peak cost at night is 5 cents per kWh. Much, much cheaper than superchargers.
Yes, but... if you're in Russia, my understanding is that you really don't have too much to worry about, so long as you only go after targets outside of Russia.
> If the dude won't tell them they have no way to get access to it, other than the $5 wrench.

This assumes perfect opsec: the guy is unphishable, has a quick-response switch to wipe their computers when their house is raided, etc. They get a lot of people through simple gaps: bust the door down when the target is in the bathroom, grab the unlocked computer in a public setting, etc.

The other big assumption is that the only copy of the key belonged to someone in the gang who is a high-value target. If it’s an exchange, they need to make an official request. Someone offering laundering services or a lower-value person in the gang, the offer is likely going to be offered a plea bargain for cooperating to get bigger fish versus a much longer sentence.

Even if it is the most culpable member of the gang, the prospect of a very long prison sentence versus something shorter is going to weigh heavily — especially if you know that they’re just going to leave you in jail until you give them the key anyway.
While we’re on this tangent, you might want to check out the Zenimax vs. Oculus copyright judgement. Which I think is bullshit, but that’s the sort of thing I was worried about.
I remember in the late 2000's I had a CR account. I had two weeks left on the period I had paid for. But when I cancelled the account... poof. My access was revoked immediately. Very much not consumer friendly. I was done enough with their crap that I didn't even bother with an email.
Your readme points out that math and computer science are fundamentally very similar, maybe the same - do you also have objections to the fact that math expertise follows a similar distribution to computer expertise? Is this math’s “fault” somehow? You seem to be assuming that the current state of affairs is based on some kind of human failure rather than a natural outcome, but I’m not sure that explanation generalizes. If you really think you can “fix” the distribution of computer experts with a new language, do you think you can “fix” the distribution of math users by expressing math in a certain way?
Any extensions that generated revenue close-to or beyond the parent platform?
That's not ironic at all, since that was the desired outcome requested in the ticket
The reason a doctor is educated in general anatomy is so that when their specialty hits edge cases, they are able to reason about what could be the underlaying cause. This reasoning in a sparse information environment is exactly the scenario AI/ML is worst at.
What headset were you on?
If, in fact, there were any plausible argument that it was morally wrong, we would not have a written statute specifically, actionably defending it.

Rather, making threats over what amounts to it, at someone not equipped to face even such a specious attack, is clearly and indefensibly morally wrong. Shame on Replit, and shame on you for supporting them.

Any company that has $20M in the bank but could possibly be threatened just by a new college grad coding alone does not deserve to exist. Give the money back to the investors and close up shop.

>In places where globally standardized time is enforced, some still rebel, like in China, where the entire country is under one time zone, BST (Beijing Standard Time). In Xinjiang, nearly 2,000 miles west of Beijing, where the sun sometimes sets at midnight according to BST, many Uighur communities use their own form of local solar time.
I actually felt some sort of weird stability to see that in 1996 people also just put meaningless words together and pretended they had meaning.

But it was strange to leave that open, everywhere else it's a tight language to not allow the extended use, while not explicitly explaining it so it didn't stop book sales.

It has a wikipedia page and is used to describe when a large, powerful country uses soft power to ensure that a smaller country grant favorable economic trade concessions. This is in contrast with classical colonialism, where military force was used to achieve the same ends.
There are all kinds of limitations on agreements between two people precisely because the playing field is often very uneven. For example, you can't sell yourself into slavery these days.

Spotify has atrocious quality, their apps frequently are unresponsive and crash or won't play music often. Just about everyone I know who uses it complains about it from time to time. I haven't tried YT music so I can't compare, just saying.
I don’t know if you’ve worked with testers, but they think differently than devs. A good test org will also be slightly antagonistic to a dev team and that antagonism, plus a slight us vs them mentality can produce some amazing product results.

Testers also tend to be a little cheaper. To call it a waste might be a bit reductionist but it certainly hints at some organizational inefficiencies that may be recognizable once you reach a certain size.
Not completely unusual.

I doubt Russia is too crazy about the idea of pipelines=targets. Especially one that doesn't even compete with them. 2x especially the billing! 64% of Russian exports are gas and oil.

The raw CPU time used doesn't really matter if it doesn't cause the UI to block. It does for server applications; needing 30% more cores costs 30% more money, which you could use for something else. But for tiny programs that run on your workstation, using 1.3% CPU doesn't cost more than 1% CPU.

You do have to watch out for the case where you can't use all the cores, and GC is blocking actual computation the user wants to perform.

(Also, you're at about 4000 cores when saving 30% buys you another developer. So you have to think about when the right time to unlock that money is, and how much it costs to unlock.)

I've been writing a game in Go. The GC doesn't prevent me from getting a smooth 360 frames per second. 1ms is a substantial pause, but isn't even a missed frame.
My first Apple Store repair experience over a decade ago, _they_ asked me to create a separate admin user account for their usage, never crossed their mind to ask me for my password.

This seems like something smart people should have come up with a long time ago.
It's not a mistake from 1974. It's a reasonably good bit of design from 1974 that has persisted with very little change since then, even though it no longer is a good bit of design. Now it's sacrificing sanity on the alter of backward compatibility.

But it wasn't insane to begin with. The insane part is never changing it.
I’d bet that’s exactly what happened. These guys don’t want a big deal, they want a quick payment from the company’s insurance company and moving on.
Although we are tempted to think "automate away doctors jobs and take their salaries", it's more achievable and more valuable to provide existing doctors with better UI/UX which helps them make better decisions.

Bayesian probabilities could be displayed, other factors presented, and ML could be designed in an explainable way which helps the doctors. But that's too hard, requires too much talking to people, and too much respect for existing institutions, and not enough disruption! Sigh...
A good library of references is very much worth the price, even these days where you can find anything on the internet.
The README makes a lot of bold claims for what, as far as I can tell, seems to be vaporware. Does this language have any kind of effect system yet, or can it only evaluate pure expressions?

The fact that Suetonius wrote some of his works in Greek does not mean Caesar spoke Greek when murdered. Hence attributing to him the Greek 'kai su teknon' is as much inaccurate as any early or later tradition.

>You don’t have to reveal your trade secrets in open court

well excellent that we're not in a court here on HN or Twitter then. If he decides to intimidate someone without putting any concrete evidence up for it we're well within our rights to drag him over the coals for it. Dogs that bark don't bite, if he wanted to avoid this he should have gone to his lawyers directly, instead he's already issuing half-baked apologies in this very thread. Which means he has zilch and just wanted to bully a recent graduate into taking his product off the internet.
We're looking into this circle bug -- very sorry about that!

I won't argue that the current test isn't crude. We're rolling out increasingly sophisticated versions with each update, but I agree that in its current state our exam has a ton of room for improvement.

I do have to mention that the 1) vision check (e.g. do you see 20/20 with you current/expired prescription) and 2) the eye health tests are two different portions of our exam and serve two different purposes.

These latter set of "low-tech" maneuvers (double vision, amsler grid, red desaturation) are very high-level screening mechanisms for more serious underlying issues and do not have much to do with the numbers on a person's prescription. To be more specific, the overlapping circles are meant to assess if someone is having double vision, which in a worst case scenario could be a symptom of acute cranial nerve palsy.
>I am afraid that within GitHub I mostly use stars as a bookmark for projects I find interesting and may want to check out in the future.

Wouldn't it make more sense to use the "watch" button for this?
Most of that seems true but orthogonal to my point, which is when comparing states of something with a power law growth, it is really easy to come up with big numbers that don’t contain any real information.

That 50,000x or whatever didn’t really give any information about the growth of a product over thirty years, it only really gives information about the growth during the first year which if it had been marginally different would give you a wildly different value for your “market growth today” number.

We should all be careful not to publish large numbers with dubious sources.
Did you do the exam on mobile or desktop? Also, what browser were you using?
It's certainly an informal thing, and in my experience, yes, a youth thing. For me, capitalization/no capitalization is akin to the difference between a formal/informal 'you' in other languages (i.e., German, French). There's nothing wrong with either in the right context. A fun little software toy seems informal enough to me, so I wouldn't question it too much.
My question was for the person who posted the original submission, though.

The reason I use a local brick-and-mortar bank is to get access to a safe deposit box. Besides banking is free as well. ( No fee for account maintenance, ATM, free checks, free Zelle payment to friends etc.)

You are not wrong; the Muslim's silence on this is deafening.
Oracle lives by selling to management. Replit isn’t at a stage where it can do that - it will love and die by developer goodwill until it becomes big enough for management to want to buy it.
I've been bouncing between tiling and pseudo tiling on lightweight wm's on Linux - I guess I'd say the advantage to tiling is a more intricate layout. It's just more strongly defined[1], which can be a pro or a con depending on your screen, what applications you're using, etc. I find for programming, tiling can be helpful bc I just don't have to think about window placement, but if I'm switching between many tasks frequently the flexibility of stacking is always nice. Overall, it's just subjective.

1: In general - this does vary within tiling WM's too. dwm is more dynamic (hence the name) then i3 or imo bspwm.
Toxic in what way? It's OK for the CEO to publicly fly off the handle expecting this to go away due to his big stick he now wields because he's successfully leveraged the work of giants to his own fortune?

A gracious response? No. His apology was not an apology at all. His apology can be distilled down to: "I'm sorry, but I'm still right - and I'm only sorry because the community has called me on it."

Toxic? Or warped perception?
It's been a while since I've tried to run Java on Windows. Is there a way to install a JRE without any fuss, that won't phone home or nag me for updates?
Counterstrike?
Agreed - I got a second phone and can't have Signal on both. It's a weird and off-putting limit that had me rethinking my use of Signal in general. Now I'm using Matrix with a Signal bridge, so the second device is a Matrix client. It's frustrating that messaging is so fractured. I feel like there's no go-to service that avoids lock-in and respects privacy.
> It's widely suspect that not having the American flag on the moon landing in the movie "First Man" was to cater to the Chinese market.

I didn't watch that movie, I guess it surprised you as an (allegedly ?) American the same way it surprised many Europeans watching the numerous WW2 movies about the US saving the old-world.
It's all about catering the most profitable market in the end.
( I'm not here to throw oil on fire by the way, I guess that the same... process ? )
The only thing anywhere in the “supporting” documents or diagrams concerning coinbase is that it is shown as the destination of a 0.001 BTC transfer from the address the funds went to.

This is one of several pieces I’ve seen claiming things about Coinbase and embedding documents or other evidence that doesn’t seem to come close to supporting the conclusion.

I’m not saying Coinbase wasn’t used and that that didn't have something to do with the seizure, but its being repeatedly claimed with the same kind of evidence presentation that tends to accompany conspiracy theories.
Is it just or unjust to over-react to a gross over-reaction?
IBM retired theirs and now Microsoft. It blows my mind that anyone in their right mind would ever make a blockchain using these companies’ proprietary implementations.

Not that I understand the other blockchain projects, but it seems even crazier to use a proprietary company’s solution.
I still use copy con on a regular basis to quick and dirty create files.
> Now, a lot of people implicitly assume that in a dispute between for-profit company and an open-source project, the for-profit company must be in the wrong.

All things equal, this is not a baseless assumption; not only profit maximization vs. altruistic sharing are drastically different objective functions; a funded for-profit usually has more agency, including agency to play foul. This is not a crowd that is startup naive, people are familiar with the range of stuff that happens.

That said, you've explicitly intimidated the guy with the depth of your funding, then attacked their character despite the fact that you had tried to recruit him, so we are not even operating on assumptions here.

Now you'll have to waste some of that funding on PR consultation and damage control. A lose-lose for everyone.

Useful Tips for Digital Marketing You Should Pay More Attention To
>These results are incredibly frustrating. Google should de-rank these autogenerated tech troubleshooting sites.

Why? Google makes money from advertisements either way, it's not in their interest to improve search results. If anything, terrible search results make users more likely to click on ads, which now look better by comparison.
> Then they should be made immediately aware of this in using Signal on Android.

Does any messaging app do this on any platform? You're demanding something that, as far as I'm aware, no messaging app currently does. Signal at least published the FAQ page, which you linked earlier, even though it's not their responsibility to ensure that the user's device is free of third-party spyware.

This entire discussion is about FaceTime and Apple Messages, which is why Signal is being compared to both. And Signal is superior to these services for privacy and security.

Entity Component System architectures (and why you should care)
9 of these run on Node.js - quite interesting departure from what was the state a few years ago.

I wish we had a common specification around static-site generators though, something akin to CommonMark - so it was easier to switch between generators without having to spend time porting things around. The Jekyll directory structure for eg, is mostly respected various implementations - but it isn't a accepted everywhere for eg.
The author is mostly right about ImmersedVR from June 2020 when this was written, but Immersed and the hardware have both vastly improved since then.

I use Immersed everyday for my full workday. Oculus Quest 2 is a musthave. The resolution is high enough that the “screendoor” effect is gone.
I use only two displays. 1) 2880x1800 blown up to the size of a football field and pushed very far away.
2)1920 x 1080 closer and below for communication.

If you want to commit for work you should upgrade the headset. Get the elite strap plus battery, an aftermarket facial interface and prescription lense adapters from VROptician.

I’m pretty sure every OS gets virtual monitors now, but if not you can buy very cheap headless hdmi dongles instead.

One other great thing about Immersed is that the entire company is very active on Discord. I’ve talked directly to the CEO about bugs, and they even sent me a custom build when they accidentally broke a niche feature I relied on.

Feel free to ask other questions about Immersed.
> China is doing what it can to stop from becoming an American vassal.

More accurate would probably be China is doing everything possible to create its own vassals via soft-power initiatives like Belt and Road, predatory debt lending, etc.

Yandex.com is 2010 Google search, IMHO. It's not filtered at all and seems to have that pure pagerank feel of the old Google search engine, while the modern Google seems to be hand tweaked quite a bit to only quote "authoritative sources". Search for a politically controversial topics all you want on Google and you will not have your first couple of pages being debunking or fact check sites. Compare Google's search results for "who is zhengli shi" vs. the Yandex.com results for example. You can even find Putin scandals and "Tank Man" on there, even though it's a search engine based in Russia.
