None of the game proposals seem to be any kind of libertarian ideal - they all have governance and taxation of some kind. Reading between the lines it seems that the seasteading game proposals are about trying to simulate what might happen under each scenario.

If true, this is a surprisingly unsure approach to something like Seasteading which to me requires a huge leap of faith. Is the game meant to be an educational tool or is it meant to trial human nature to test the assumptions of each of those scenarios?
Reading the study, it appears that for the most part, each day the patient's diet was restricted to a multivitamin and 1000 calories worth of carbohydrates.

Over the course of 382 days, the patient's weight went from 456 to 180.

The patient adapted to fasting well and had no ill side effects except for one instance of passing out in the hospital during tests.

One interesting fact is that ketones were seen in the patient's blood plasma all throughout the fast. I wondered if the 1000 calories of carbohydrates might significantly hamper ketone production, but apparently not. Or perhaps the ketone measurement was taken before administering the carbs? That particular detail wasn't clear to me.

Should the HN submisison title reflect that this research was published in 1973?

In the Urinary excretion patterns section it was noted that "A breakdown in the renal control of electrolyte excretion has been reported to occur in some pations after 40 or 100 days during prolonged fasting (Runcie & Thompson, 1970)." - I wonder what discoveries since 1973 concerning this have been made.
I don't understand your comment. The abstract you copied here says that the evidence that "food aid can have negative unintended consequences" is "thin and often contradictory". Moreover, I didn't say anything about "just having cheap supply". I said there's a problem of distribution rather than regulation. What are you disagreeing with, in my comment, can you explain?
nice, I quite like some of the ideas in chaos magic as a socio-psychological form of systems/gestalt theory, and just as a creative form that rejects reductive materialism.
The same technique was extrapolated to images in this paper where a CDN's corpus of cached images were classified and apply the optimizations for each image as the exemplar for it bucket.
> idiosyncratic scientist’s decision to write their analysis in Perl.

In my experience, looking at "scientist" produced code, the programming language matters very little. It is not hard to produce something completely inscrutable and non-replicable in Python and R the same way it's been done for ages using SAS, Stata, MatLab etc.

I still see people rolling out their regression computations using matrix inversion and calculating averages as `sum(x)/n`.

I really like PDL when I can use it. I have had problems building it from source on Windows in the past, but it is actually a very well thought out library.

Also worth mentioning, you can get a lot of mileage out of GSL[1].

I know I'll get told off again for finding this very very funny, but honestly these guys got duped and deserved it.
This article doesn't seem to actually list key strengths.

Drones are high on my list of "scared to see what they can do when it is unveiled".

With little imagination you can put together:

- standard consumer quadcopter

- standard consumer camera face detection

- standard consumer pistol

and tie it all together with software. Even without smart projectile prediction for improved aiming.

While the software bit is hard-but-not-stupidly-so, the hardware components for all this is relatively cheap. Also, the software can be developed anywhere and anytime. You don't need unobtanium to do it.

I have only applied very limited imagination to provide a basic scare scenario.

If you take military budget and effort, multiple layers of battlefield coverage and variations of drones the capability is astounding.

One day the internet will abound with memes regarding "Carrier has arrived." over real world images.
Server OSes are, and pro software development could definitely involves some server VMs, or a lot of compiling.
Governments also issue similar grants.
>do not have to put profit maximisation above all else

too bad that despite that they still decided to help vw fudge the emissions tests numbers
I guess I was trying to say its efficiency breaks down and isn't competitive with basic electric baseboard heat at some temperature below zero celcius (not sure what the break-even point is). I didn't think people in Alaska would be using that for home heating, is that a thing? The norm here is gas heat and the odd electric baseboard home which broken down elsewhere by another commenter is approximately 10x the price of gas heating.
If the private key of the DarkSide's account was compromised by the US gov, then why aren't there any transactions outgoing from the main account to which the ransoms were funelled?

> lasers deal no kinetic force

That’s...not true. (Well, “kinetic force” seems like a poorly chosen phrase, but lasers deliver both force and kinetic energy.)

> a shell with reflective shielding might prove impervious to a pure light defense

Good luck with making a mirror perfect enough to do that and keeping it in condition on a fited shell.
This would be great as a free solution. If you are trying to build a company from the idea, you should be aware of Microsoft forms which is being given away with office 365 to enterprise customers and is now including powerBI.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Forms

I think surveymonkey and typeform are going to have a lot of trouble holding on to customers when competing against a free throw in from Microsoft.

You’ll need to find what your differentiator will be that can’t be copied by Microsoft or Google.
I didn't look at the rest, but the that they would even put that just makes it more odd. It would be like me putting "voluntarily picks up litter when I go for a walk" on my list of charity activities (which doesn't exist because, if anything, I don't do enough for the world to warrant tooting my horn).

That's just my opinion, though. I'm happy they are doing something rather than nothing.
I don't understand this comment. There's enough food to feed everyone, and more. Why do we need Golden Rice to ensure everyone gets enough vitamin A? Why can't we distribute enough food with enough vitamin A to the people who need it, without that food being Golden Rice? And how is Golden Rice solving the problem of getting all the already existing food containing vitamin A to people? Why do we need to fulfill peoples' need of vitamin A with Golden Rice, in particular?
It's quite funny how they're toting "..smaller more approachable size" like it's a new thing, when the rest of the world has functioned with utes of this size for decades
That seems doomed to eventual irrelevance since web standards are now constantly-moving goalposts also authored by companies like Google.
FFT does, but the FFT library fftw ("fastest fourier transform in the west") is no longer the fastest from what I understand.

FFmpeg originally stood for "fast forward" but no longer means anything. They do have this problem where they need to replace older APIs with newer ones - their approach is to give the newer ones names with "2" "3" stuck on the end instead of "fast" "faster" etc.

But there are some problems in there, there's something called "simple IDCT" which I have to admit I never fully understood.
Because that’s not the one that was compromised.
Unfortunately having tried Superset, Domo, Tableau, and others everyone is still far behind Tableau despite the performance of Tableau being utter garbage when you have more than 10k rows. The flexibility in the types of ways you can arrange, color, and label graphs is unmatched. They really get what you need to showcase data effectively whereas everyone else is just a fancier Excel with SQL support.

Given the lack of quality I've seen in certain other big tech company viz tooling, I'm not sure Airbnb will be able to make Superset competitive either.
Ask HN: What did you like about your favorite courses?
I work at a SaaS company in security and I am a part-time lecturer in Management Information Systems at my local university. I'm mainly teaching an entry-level MIS course (mostly online with 200-300 students), and an advanced class at the master's level (about 50 students online).

I'm always looking at improving my courses and I was wondering what did you like about the favorite courses you had (e.g. teaching method, assignments/projects, guests from the industry, etc.) Thanks!
Ah, they missed the chance to call it VNIX.
Servo was abandoned after all of the fanfaire? Was a reason ever given? I thought we were in the servo era.
I like Metabase a lot, my org has a few people who were very accustomed to the filters in Tableau, so I had to buy some licenses, but Metabase is great, fast, and runs on very low end EC2 instances. Big kudos to the team that works on it.

Alternative medicine typically has no chance because it's made from ingredients like food that are already proven safe and not obviously effective through centuries of use and thus unlikely to have much effect on anything. Here's a drug that was so dangerous it had to go through clinical trials to prove it was safe, so it's potentially more potent - at something.
Don't be put off by the bit about vampires.
Last week I had to connect my printer locally to make use of a PostScript driver because certain elements of my PDFs were malformed over AirPrint.

I'm partial to using a raspi as a print server. I don't think I restarted it once over a five or six year period, and it doubled as a controller for my UPSes.
Creating your own power plant, lugging gallons of oil for power generation, or hiring someone to 24/7 power you home via bicycle all cost a few orders of magnitude more than paying the utility company for service, and creating a competing utility company wouldn't make sense competitively in any way, so naturally there's a monopoly. For search engines, it's both easy to switch to a different one as a consumer and it's easy for someone new to come in and create a profitable competitor (see bing, ddg).
Yeah where you got your degree from still matters. And you get in to the best schools by getting good grades.
You could always write a program that fuzzed urls at random then downloaded whatever's at that address with curl!
Just running native models on OpenCL has existed for a while now, through PlaidML and other companies. Unfortunately you need CUDA support for custom kernels for a lot of modern architectures like Transformers, and AMD's CUDA transpiler leaves a lot to be desired.
> don't want a build process. I don't want to have to use npm, but want the option if I desire, for something like React. And when I use React, because there is unfortunately no better option

A few years back I chose Vue for supplementing the current little bit of web stuff I was doing because I could just include vue from a script to build a new page. The basic idea was

<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@2.6.10/dist/vue.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Vue HTML components used here -->
<script>
// Vue page specific JS goes here
</script>
</body>
</html>

There was zero build process.
Great on one level, but like the start of a John Carpenter movie on another.

Or "volunteering" at an animal sanctuary at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro, which they happen to have climbed while there over the summer.
But it's not just PG, who at this point I doubt cares much about ROI, the work/balance debate has been going on since the dawn of time.

Every time after one of the surgeries I had, my main concern was not how long it would take to get back to work, but how long it would take to get back to training. And I don't get paid to work out, but I absolutely love it. I like looking good, feeling good, feeling capable. When I miss a workout, I feel guilty. The other guys at the gym show up once every 3 weeks and probably think I'm crazy. And I instinctively think they are slackers with no self-respect. But upon further reflection, I say that we are just different people.

And on the work side, some people like to work or be a part of something bigger than themselves (Apple, Steve Jobs, Coinbase!), or interestingly enough, just be busy with paperwork.
I think its pretty clearly not full scale war. Neither Gaza nor Israel has been reduced to a pile of rubble, which is what full-scale war would imply at the very least.

As far as asymmetrical goes, i think its still pretty clear the parties have very different levels of resources.

Neither of those words can be applied independently without context. If both sides only have rockets than it would not be asymmetrical.
I'll save you a click here, most of this boils down to "Trust us and use one of our products to ensure your privacy". This is just content marketing.

That's the idea of using AI. So the operator doesn't have to be skilled at identifying things.
Meh, I'm over anonymity online. Y'all can have your own 4chans; I'm actually looking for places that enforces a strong sense of identity.

Arguing with these GPT-3 bots and the sockpuppets that are created by these "reputation management" companies is exhausting.
Not sure if that's "the source" since the airlines are the source for their own data (and Southwest doesn't allow ITA to search their flights.)

On the other hand, Google owns ITA and I think the airline websites are typically frontends for it anyway.
You would like to think so, but if we compare Finnish to American payrolls, you would find instead that instead top management gets less, if anybody. But there is more...

Economic prosperity is always most sensitive to what the bottom quarter gets paid, because they are who are obliged to spend what they get immediately.

The greater general prosperity that results benefits everybody else, in sum, more than the increased minimum wage. This was recently demonstrated in Seattle, in practice.

In short: no, you are 100% wrong. You should consider this good news.
> I don't think that your unwillingness to talk with your friends or business partners makes Google a public utility in a regulatory sense

I mean, the tautological definition is that the regulators will decide whether Google is a public utility, or perhaps too big and needs to be broken up (a question separate from this particular lawsuit). All of us are just on the sidelines discussing it, and perhaps trying to influence our elected representatives.

The fact that courts and regulators are at least considering it does mean that there is some merit to the argument that it may not be practical to live Google-free these days. It's probably not just me being unwilling to talk to my friends and business partners.
Imagine if thirty years ago we declared the yellow pages a public utility.

Until Firefox us taken seriously by tech companies not google , it's inevitable. I've yet to encounter a website that doesn't work on chrome , but FF is a gamble between it not being supported or prevent ad tracking breaks it. Can't use teams in web despite it running a bit better than desktop , can't use most of my apple websites for work, least not without some extension so it's really just frustrating.

Honestly if chrome introduced bottom url bar and extensions without limitations... I'd switch back. I didn't switch for privacy but because chrome mobile is is clunky as a web app and I use my phone a lot during the day.
The real difference is the old landline is natively full duplex and the latency is practically nil. Sound quality wasn’t as nice as the codecs available now, but interactive conversations were so much nicer with full duplex and low latency. Impossible to get with a cell phone.

I’ll also add that the iPhone in particular makes me so angry sometimes. I’ll have a phone number plain as friggin day on the screen - in an email or a web page - and there is _no way_ to call it by just tapping it. Oh no, you have to hold down, hope you highlight at the right point, drag to select the number, then switch to the dialer, hunt around for the hidden “paste” location, and then hit dial!!! Omg it frustrates me to no end.

Oh and speaking of frustrating, you can’t beat the catharsis you feel after slamming down the receiver after a particularly frustrating call
This is complete nonsense.

The author of this article just made things up.

Here is the affidavit from the FBI Agent doing the investigation.

He describes tracing the movement of the coins to many different addresses.

The article describes the plan for this. For printers that don't implement IPP Anywhere natively, an app can present a local IPP Anywhere implementation and bridge that to the printer's native protocol. Abstracting the native protocol support away from the print spooler apparently simplifies a lot of the design and should avoid the current situation where you can end up with tight binding between the CUPS version and the driver version.
I don't think Google has said when extensions with Manifest V2 will no longer work. And, technically, you can still use the blocking webrequest in a Manifest V3 extension, if the extension is "force installed". I think they are waiting for the hoopla to die down a bit before they close the door hard.
You don't have contact information listed in your profile. I posted a comment in this thread offering to pay for your legal fees (and many people, upon seeing my comment, contacted me offering to help). It'd be helpful if you could publish your contact info in your HN profile too.
But they might need one to parallel construct the chain of evidence needed to find who you're renting the server from.
I see and understand your point.

SSR would extract all the styles out for the styled components, but I guess now it would have an advantage as all the html/js would be as well.

My point is, the comparison seems more “js runtime stylesheets” vs “regular static stylesheets.” Styled Components, or CSS-in-JS, isn’t really the main focus here. There are options to get the static stylesheets generated, and I predict most CSS-in-JS frameworks will eventually provide the tools to do so.
The point is neither drilling a well or building your own power plant are realistic alternatives for 99% of the people. Whereas switching to ddg is a realistic alternative for 99% of the people.
There is more that goes inside a Fab than a litho tool. Granted it’s a major one, but a fabs has 400 process steps.

See KLA Tencor, Applied Materials, TEL, Advantest, ASM, Hirata, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, etc probably dozens more.
Ironically, often people who make that claim let highly politicized, biased, and often downright dishonest rags make their decisions for them instead.
Do you have the address that was?
I think the honorable thing would be for them to have a statement easily findable.

So many companies sweep this sort of things under the rug if it’s only customer data that’s been breached. If they can’t sweep they have a high priced PR agency do the communicating.

I do not trust companies who handle things this way.
I view Krebs as a tabloid. It is a stopgap for layman's with slightly above average opsec knowledge. It is rather dangerous because he is wrong or misrepresents reality rather often. And there's something sensationalist about every article. They always have this rushed, panic driven, sophomoric writing style.

To quote a comment I read on HN once, "Krebs is a security entertainer, not a security researcher."

I highly recommend her book too. Combining what I learned from her book with spaced repetition software has boosted my capacity to learn significantly.
I feel like this is mostly a marketing piece. While it's maybe not terribly wrong (I'm not confident enough to really discuss the topic) since startpage produces a browser extension to manage privacy it seems suspect to me.
It’s not. There are a ton of variables that determine the quality of your water. In many cases, well water will be significantly worse (my childhood home being a great example).
Indeed, I'm a scientific programmer, and I've noticed that when most scientists talk about "Python," they don't make a clear distinction between where the language ends and the libraries begin. If they even know. Most users, myself included, download some big installer like Anaconda or WinPython, and off we go.

If you want to talk about countries that have a pretty good go at being awful to fellow humans and we get to go that far back, I don’t think the UK would have an insignificant list.
That's kinda the conclusion I've come to as well. In the very long term (hundreds of years from now) abundant nuclear or fusion power would allow for control of the level of CO2 in the atmosphere through carbon capture so all of the horrific doomsday scenarios of climate change are unlikely to happen to our great great great great great grandchildren. The issue will be mitigating the effects throughout the 21st century, and this will certainly cost a lot of money.
