It's interesting when they use examples like Google Flights. You can certainly make the argument that Google Flights is just a flight-specific results page for Google Search.

The lines between search and many other Google products are pretty blurry.
Regulating monopolies is a bipartisan issue isn't it? The fact is that three companies in the same or adjacent zip codes have a monopoly over the online square, which means that especially during times of a pandemic, if they take away someone's voice their free speech is effectively null and void.

But at this point, human emissions are irrelevant. The n-th order effects that will happen from an already predicted temperature increase will obliterate any savings.

The tundra in Siberia holds methane equivalent to 100 years of 2020 emissions. When that stuff starts melting (and it's already exploding) the bitcoin experiment will be a drop in the ocean.
Static linking with LGPL is OK as long as you allow users to relink to other libraries.

Adding a few things from the engineering side of things! :)

1. We're currently exploring doing a distance check via the webcam using triangulation and face detection to tell folks how far from the camera they are.

2. The average monitor won't add much noise - if we're going by in person eye exams as the gold standard - there's actually a lot of variance between various doctor's offices (lighting, use of a projector/mirror to simulate distance vs placing the chart on the wall).

There's an interesting angle to doing eye exams digitally where we may be able to be more accurate than in in person exam (based on institutional research studies - not something we've yet personally explored).

5. Really interesting and valid point - making these types of questions more interactive is definitely on our roadmap.

6. Clinical trials will help vet any methods we build to show how they compare to existing practices

That is what birdshot is for. Birdshot, e.g. "No. 9 or 10" shot, are tiny lead BBs about 2mm diameter. Because they are small, they have a large surface area to mass ratio, and consequently, they fall back down to earth at a low, safe speed. When they land on dry leaves, they bounce off and sound a bit like rain. When it is shot into the air and falls back down onto you, it won't even bruise you, let alone injure you. (However it can kill if fired directly at somebody.)
A big problem with software and people who write software (often) is that software doesn't like all the ways that human beings misbehave, change their minds, don't have immutable states, and don't fit into the categories you build for them.

So any system that has a duty to serve everyone eventually ends up with an operational component that has almost as much human interaction and problem solving required as the software side of it. Or the software has to be really smart or complex.

Tech companies don't like that because that increases a lot of costs. For some companies, they manage to convince their users to behave well enough to fit into the box. Other companies have to reduce their profits, or go kicking and screaming down the path of accepting the cost of business.

Example: Public electric company wants to switch people to smart meters to reduce the cost of going to read every meter, more reliable operation, easier billing, turn on/shut off, etc. Reduce the number of legacy billing systems. People turn out to irrationally not want smart meters. Now utility needs to maintain 2 systems, and an exception list of people who don't want the smart meter system, and still have to run trucks and meter readers, and procedures for people with old meters.

If something is to be declared a utility, the tech company had better gulp in fear of what's required. But we better as well, if we're thinking of wanting our software to be turned into something that involves those obligations and costs too. There's a reason that Google (well, maybe other tech companies) bring you new things, and the electric company doesn't. It's not all roses.

I strongly recommend making Derek's "In The Pipeline" column a regular read, because he provides the information that answers your question.

First, there are the number of people who would take the thing. Alzheimer's is terrible, but I think many more people would take a COVID-19 vaccine than have Alzheimer's. A drug that causes problems in 0.1% of people is treated differently when the population size is 29.8 million[0] people of advanced age vs. 7.8 billion people[1] of all ages.

Second, the FDA has more than one advisory committee[2]. Which makes sense; I don't expect the world expert on CPAP and BiPAP machines to also be the world export on COVID-19 vaccines.

I think the fixation is because Bitcoin is a novel technology that is adding to all the problems you've listed.

We've made great technological strides in energy efficiency over the last few decades. From more efficient lighting and appliances to electric cars to cheaper clean energy sources like photovoltaics. By contrast, Bitcoin in a new technology that is not an efficiency improvement. In fact, it threatens to wipe out all that incremental progress. It's a heel-turn from a sector of the economy that, for a time, held the promise that it could find a way for us to address global warming through technological innovation.

China should be the bellwether for this as they had early lockdowns that initially decreased emissions. They still managed to emit more cumulatively in 2020 than in 2019. They keep increasing their emissions while everyone is distracted. They won’t be the only one. In many places, mostly developing nations, there will be pressures to make up for the economic losses.

Yes, I stated that. Those functions are impure. Purity is a lovely goal, but purity also isn't a defining characteristic of functional programming, it's a modern pursuit. I've met enough classic LISP practitioners that lived their whole programming lives in the most impure of functional programming, that I would never want to tell them to their face that what they did didn't count as functional programming because of all the leaky impurity in LISP (due to pragmatic considerations of the time).
I do think of tests as a kind of double accounting.
Sorry, I wasn't precise enough. I meant some kind of JSON with just arrays and cryptic object names - like the OIDs for ASN1 - or XML where everything is just called <node>.

So yes, it makes things less "introspectable", but any serious protocol needs a well-defined schema anyway. (And that's why GraphQL and OpenApi/JsonSchema, and before that WSDL/SOAP were so popular.) It seems strange that people "hate" ASN1. At best the problem seems to be the libraries, or that no sane restricted subset has emerged over the years...?

One of the great social advantages is the outsourcing of thinking; knowing everything about everything is just not possible.

There have always been distortions due to this, particularly in small insular communities. Social media seems to amplify the distortions though; you can end up with a large insular community. After all, if dozens of people all agree with X and nobody disagrees with X, how can it be wrong?

their original dev signup applications described the SDK as supporting C and Lua. Pulp appears to be targetting the non-programmer gamedev scene, like Bitsy and GB Studio do currently. It looks a lot like Bitsy. They seem pretty separate.

> The SDK will be available on macOS, Windows, and Linux. There are two ways to write games: using Lua, for ease of development; or using C, for games that need extra performance. You can also use both languages in the same project. Typical SDK abilities are included: graphics, sound, inputs, text, collisions, etc. We continue to add features every day!

* The simulation shall invoke feelings of paranoia and the sense of communication with a higher intelligence during user's formative years via consumption of psychotropic substances, faithfully re-creating the sensations of schizophrenia.

* The simulation will slowly reveal increasingly clear contact with a higher intelligence as adulthood sets in, throughout which the enigma of the user's role in the outcome of the simulated world will morph into intrinsic understanding of, and harmony with, the simulated world. This marks the transition away from purely schizophrenic perceptions to grandiose delusions that manifest in a progressively convincing fashion.
Yes I think there are two things that are needed to form bonds: small numbers, and common context. Having a common interest in motorcycle repair or horticulture or something works, but HN's common interest is just commenting on the Internet and probably being a programmer, which isn't significant to bond over even disregarding the huge group size.

You're assuming Gates was trying to divest from MSFT. There's no evidence he was in a hurry.

You are right that insiders selling can be a signal. That's why we have laws that govern their actions. But that's because it is assumed Gates knows more than the average MSFT investor.

I very much agree that load time is not the only metric that should be measured. Unfortunately, it's one of the easiest to measure. It's also one which does not sacrifice any other UX metric like low completion time leading to less satisfaction sort of corruptible metrics.

Although, in my experience, usage of react is not indicative of a more capable, responsive, or lower defect application. Quite the opposite (for me) actually. React is a good (but not absolutely reliable) indicator of slow, unresponsive (in terms of response time, not resolution scaling, buggy, and frustrating UX.

From the code examples of the suggested library, it looks like a pretty simple drop in replacement for many (if not all) cases. 10% for free would be a slam dunk.

I think you're looking at a 'yes, and' situation. The IPCC's simulations just sort of assume we not only cut our carbon emissions but come up with some effective form of carbon capture. Without both, our goose is cooked, but we certainly can't rely on carbon capture alone.

You solved the memory management for one particular program written in exactly the style necessary to avoid leaks for the demo. You'll find as you fix other programs, you'll introduce UAFs into this one which is, I suspect, one reason your commit activity around autofree has basically dropped to 0 recently.
I've been looking for something like this. Are there other similar tools in this space?
Yes. If my service was declared a common carrier I'd experiment with creating my own ISP and banning people at the ISP level, which also happens to be the only ISP hosting my service.

This is why this doesn't make sense. Some internet companies can arbitrarily block you and others can't?
But of course -- compared to what?

Twitter sounds awful in a vacuum if described like this, and indeed it does have lots of problems. But, if we are going to have very huge and influential corporate sources of information, Twitter is MUCH more defensible than e.g. MSNBC/CNN/Fox, in that its significantly more "little d" democratic. The thousands of voices available there are far better than the tiny few coming from many other sources, and because the platform is generally "open" in that we can see what others post.

I think Twitter is actually doing an excellent job, given the incredible difficulties involved with what it does, especially as compared to a Facebook, etc.
Maybe it's more of a startup thing. Another startup I worked at turned their entire website into an SPA over the course of 12 months. The website was never broken. It wasn't sleek but it worked. I kept my head down and rewrote it.

The email order confirmations, however, took 30 minutes to be delivered to customers. In the end, it was this uncertainty of whether an order went through that killed the customers trust, not the fact that it was not an SPA. I wish I had asked more questions instead of blindly following orders.
> the terminal guidance is performed individually by each interceptor.

I wasn't able to find this explicitly stated. Do you have a reference for that? What I did find was that unsophisticated rockets are primarily what it defends against. So its guidance may also be 'unsophisticated'. Any reason the interceptor couldn't receive communications from the ground radar to update it's trajectory with minimal onboard guidance?
Hate to break it to you, but most links on this site are just weird propaganda from some startup

Maybe slightly but it's very rare that the limiting factor on plant growth is the availability of CO2. Much more commonly plants are limited by access to nutrients and sunlight.

I worked for an algae biotech company and while we did "dope" our ponds with CO2, providing ample mixing to get more sunlight and supplementing the ponds with plentiful nutrients (the "big 3" but also trace elements of a number of more obscure inputs) had dramatically larger impacts on growth rates.

AFAIK, the FACE studies do show faster growth with more CO2, but it's only observable at concentrations ~200ppm over ambient. [https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1469-8137....]
