I worked in positions that required me to write by hand more than I had in the last decade. I found that my handwriting found an equilibrium that balanced speed and legibility after a while.

Perhaps consider changing your writing technique?
If you make research funding essentially only available through competitive grants, then obviously universities are applying for those. So yes they are applying for outside funding, who else is going to do fundamental research?

Also regarding IP, I'm not sure about the US, but in all the countries I've worked in students retain their IP. In fact looking at some online sources this applies also to the US.

It has recently become popular here on HN to bash universities, but at least keep it factual.
> It does require a Wi-Fi card with support for monitor mode and frame injection. OWL did it with an Atheros AR9280.

I feel like Windows is in part to blame for wifi not evolving. The OS does only the most minimal, basic, simplistic wifi operations, so non-Apple laptops end up with wifi hardware supporting only the most basic, simple wifi capabilities.

I raelly want p2p connectivity to be better in this world, want our amazing digital connectivity to be distributed, not to move beyond relying on top down ISP based networking. Alas, the wifi hardware available on many laptops is just not there.

And even if it were there, it seems unlikely that Windows, Apple, and Google devices are willing to communicate with each other. Everyone has their own proprietary systems (or in Windows case, like the old days where you had to download winsock, it simply has: nothing).
>but will find out shortly it can't tackle FAANG without broad political support from other countries.

EU? Even Japan is opening a case on it. Where iPhone has nearly 70% market shares it is ridiculous.
A family member had a slow windows install. I checked the system utilization, suspecting paging. Guess what: 3/4 GB of the laptop were used by windows, leaving 1GB for all other applications. Apparently, deprecation via automatic updates is in, and it comes with candy crush.

I installed Ubuntu 10 minutes later.
> It‘s starting to happen in Germany, at least in healthcare. The Corona Warn App was open sourced

And now there is a closed source competitor with a lot of backing from some politicians. So it's not that they would have learned the lesson.
My handwriting is fine but I am slow af compared to editing in a vimlike. Definitely agree with you. None of this writing stuff appeals to me.

The drawing maybe.
Microtargeted advertisements to the exact people who need to hear a message have been shown to be incredibly effective at persuasion. That's why targeted advertisements are a billion dollar industry.

Tracking influence due to advertisements is tricky, as it's hard to make a direct 1-to-1 connection being being exposed to a consistent ad campaign and the decision to buy a product at a particular moment. Did I buy a Coca-Cola today because I saw a YouTube ad? Or is more the constant awareness of the Coca-Cola due to a dedicated persistent ad campaign? The exact influence is hard to measure, but nevertheless we can say it must be effective, or why would Coca-Cola spend billions on ads? I bring up this example to try to steer your thinking away from the unrealistic scenario of someone seeing a Facebook ad, and then choosing to vote differently because of it. That idea is obviously ludicrous, and you should rightly scoff at such a proposition. However that is not the scenario that the people arguing against you are stating. They are concerned with a foreign state actor spending so much money and attention to nudge public attention to a few key ideas. The entire advertising industry is proof that such techniques are effective.

The question you should be asking is why the idea that "people are fed up with career politicians" was so prominent in this election. Why did that message resonate with some, but completely bypass others? Note: that Russia spending lots of money on targeted ads doesn't make people's frustrations not real, or manufactured. But why was so many people's attention drawn to this issue?
Things I wish I knew earlier when it comes to career and money
Don't forget the Snowden revelations about the NSA. Only that one truly surprised me.

The events of the world do have some unexpected turns, but there's a difference between conspiracy theory and something real but unexpected. As mentioned in the article, conspiracy theories are based on little evidence and seeing patterns that aren't there.

It's much better to be suspicious of real events that are unexpected or improbable than to believe in something with little evidence.
The more "impossible", the more interesting and rewarding in the end!
@Everyone 'Windows 10 LTSB' is the secret good user-focused version of Windows 10.

It doesnt come with any shit on it (windows store, metro, xboxlive, cortana etc etc.) MS have also promised It will not receive any updates that change its functionality but will receive security updates, for 10 years. You can only get it if u buy in bulk tho. Or, u can just get it from tpb.. Considering MS are intentionally not selling by far the most user-respecting version of their OS to regular folks, it behooves us to pirate it.
> So it is reasonable to hold them to a higher standard than a normal business.

One important practical difference is that Academia doesn't pay its individual contributors even close to market rate.

When I started my PhD, I had seven job offers. Five were PhD programs, and the pay ranged from $25K to $40K or so (but the $25K option paid better than the $40K option because of CoL). The other two were in finance and tech, and paid $200K and $150K respectively.

I wouldn't ever have taken a PhD job if I didn't own the IP I generated.
Well, I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. Let's say that you agree with the following statement: Even if there had been no Russian interference, the 2016 election would have been very close. Clinton was more unpopular than her supporters realized.

Now from there, you could take that single statement and try to interpret the impact of the Russian interference two ways:

- The election was so close it was nearly a toss-up, and the Russian interference probably had very little effect on most voters.

- Alternately, because the election was so close, Russian interference would have only had to influence a few people in some key districts, and therefore a very small amount of influence could have had a large outsized effect.

I'm not necessarily vying for either of these arguments, however I am trying to make a point about how both sides of this problem are talking past each other with regards to a pretty simple point.
This troll company is most likely a singular person or small handful of people, with an entity registered to a mailbox somewhere. It’s time we stop writing “Voice Tech” sent a complaint, because no, a person wrote that and they should be held accountable.
Heh, I've had my fair share that would hit the limit in the 25-28mm. In particular the shimano SLR/dual action/dual lever or whatever they are called.

I don't agree with the "gap is much smaller than people would expect". Have you tried a decent hydraulic brake? I raced on and off road, was a bike messenger, designed and built (from tubes) a mtb frame, and bike commuted nearly every workday of my life. Disc brakes have significant advantages over any rim brake.

Don't knock them till you try them, I was dubious myself.
Just from what I've heard about Deno - isn't this exactly what they are aiming for? Bring Node/JS back closer to the browsers and make use of ES modules etc?
They've been respecting robots.txt and tracking opt-outs for years, right? Just one whistleblower and it's over. Why risk it? Also: Afaik it's opt-in after it leaves Origin Trial phase [1].

> There are bugs where you know exactly how to reproduce it, but it takes a long time (like 20 minutes or way longer) to reproduce the bug. This is hard because it’s hard to maintain your focus: maybe you can only try 1 experiment per day!

Ugh I hate these. It's almost worse than the "only happens sometimes". I'd rather walk down a longer path fast than a shorter path miserably slow.

> there’s no output at all

Hangs!! I hate hangs. I hate them. Crashes give information. Hangs could be so many things, but it is the absence of information.

> 4. one of your assumptions is wrong

#1 assumption I always make sure to check now is "is the code that's running actually from the source code I'm looking at". So may "impossible" bugs I run into are in fact impossible... in the codebase I'm looking at. And it turns out what's deployed is some other code where it is very much possible.
Easy to advocate this when you are not the one that goes hungry or homeless if you lose a job
> maybe we need a good monopoly lawsuot since safari is usually the only browser available on the iphone.

At this point, it's pretty clear to me that Safari's only purpose is to serve as Apple's passive aggressive anti-web-app pawn. They are intentionally letting webkit languish while both Chromium and Firefox have google funding them.
We believe it because Google submitted the permissions-policy header / attribute (which allows a site owner to control the permissions for a lot of things apart from interest cohorts, such as geolocation, fullscreen etc) and because we have no choice.

The organization controlling "the thing" is the entity that asked for the feature, so we believe the thing will both know about it and honor it.
"I don't care about Chrome"

Neat. Only you replied with that refutation when I specifically asked what people are missing on iOS vis-a-vis Chrome. Neat that Firefox supports those features, but that seems to be so little of a competitive story that its usage on mobile is absolutely minuscule.

Which "major platform" is causing huge pain by the lack of WebM on iOS? LOL.
Ask HN: What is one idea that has influenced the way you live?
I took the LSAT on a lark about 20 years ago, and at the time they required an essay written in cursive. Took me a couple of hours just to reconstruct my distant memories of how to write cursive, and I hated every minute of the essay itself.
Thanks for this, my big fear is the effects of long-term use. I've had friends who were superheroes on Adderall, lost tons of weight, changed their lives. They couldn't see how manic they were.
From my US PoV, most smallholder farmers in the UK are not rich or wealthy, but almost subsistence --perhaps better than break even but do not generate enough income so one partner has to keep a professional job.

As for post industrial rust-towns, I think of the northeast/Newcastle, Humberside & Scotland --maybe influenced by 'The Post War Dream' and Kris Killip's photography.
You're not alone. I appreciate that some people enjoy hand-writing (the act itself, the ergonomics, and all the various bits of physical ephemera that accompany it-- pens, papers, etc) but for me typing's sheer efficiency and inherent machine-readability (not to mention being readable by other humans) wins every time.
AMD64 supports only 48-bit addresses, and is still the most popular server ISA.

You have: 2^48 byte
You want: tebibyte
2^48 byte = 256 tebibyte
2^48 byte = (1 / 0.00390625) tebibyte

how many servers do you have with more than 256 TiB of RAM?
There are plenty of people working hard and making sacrifices who will never be well-off financially. Good work ethic is an advantage, but does not guarantee a good life.
Not every form of objection is a troll. I just don't accept claims like yours that voters had contact with Russian spies. It is still ridiculous.
I picked up a kindle fire 10 for the express purpose of reading PDFs (RPGs, mostly, so lots of graphics), and I'm very happy with it. It is far from perfect, but it is really cheap and you get a lot for the money. You can easily install the google app store and get a solid pdf reader (I like Xodo). I got it on a Black Friday sale for $90, but they are normally $150. So worth the price!

I just wish they would put out a 12 or 13" one, and wish the aspect ratio was a bit more square to fit more PDFs perfectly.
The author's explanation for the lack of european tech companies is that almost all software relies on business models other then charging money, and for various reasons european companies aren't able to use these business models. This doesn't seem sufficient. For three of the five big US tech companies - Microsoft, Apple and Amazon - the main business model is charging money. If the author's explanation is correct, these companies could could just as well have been founded in europe, yet no company even approaching their power and influence has been.
I long hated writing, and like you only wrote in block capitals, until I decided to re-learn to write cursive. Mostly I wanted to be able to write sweet paper notes to my lovers that didn't look like a 5th grader wrote them. I've found that when the process is approached as art, maybe even meditation, it's far more pleasurable than an act simply meant to record words on paper.
How about in the G internal Chrome branch?
We are talking about an API, not a shared service.

That distinction is becoming a lot blurrier than it used to be as more and more "APIs" now are run as shared services with no option of running them locally.
I like how much you are focusing on developer focus here! I guess you need to compare this against something else for it to better. At my workplace, we were originally really small, just 3 or 4 engineers, so have a code-review specific channel where all members of the channel get notifications from github for ALL pull requests. As the size of the team increases (closer to 10 engineers now), I think the value from this channel is kind of decreasing, since there are fewer conversions happening in it. So this tool helps solve that problem.
Sweden has more billionaires per capita than the USA. Similar to the US, they also pay less in taxes than the middle class.

I wonder if Sweden has higher funding than the rest of the continent?
They already have everything thru my GMail though. I'm more bothered by the fact that for the last 15 (?) years all I had to do was log in and now suddenly it's not enough -- for videos I've already viewed.
> There's countless stories of old warbirds being pulled out of swamps and lakes and being flown again.

I guess that makes certain Star Wars scenes a bit more believable.
"Our best guess". The author of those tweets literally admits that they don't know what will happen. Personally, I'm not as inclined as them to give Google the benefit of the doubt until the absolute last minute.
That's fair. I suppose I misread what the OP said. Thanks for the clarification. It's greatly appreciated.
I'm not sure what the conclusion of your statement is, but Safari is still head and shoulders faster than both Chrome and Firefox on macOS. Both on macOS 11.4 and Safari 14.1.1, and macOS 12 and Safari 15.

Safari never got slower. Chrome got embarrassed into effectively cleaning up its act a bit and managing the catastrophic memory usage, but it's still slower and less efficient. And it's still a memory disaster compared to its contemporaries.
Honestly, HN may want to just consider banning any site that runs this news article from being posted on HN, because this claim is basically proof they did not do even cursory research before posting.

Need for Speed: Why High Quality Code Matters in Data Science
first world problems come before third world problems
Long Island, NY. I have never seen one of them.
1. We indeed made benchmarks when we started with this. But since this is quite some time ago, I would not call for the exact numbers right now. For our use case, there are basically two extrems.
a) everything being the same data: assuming proper deduplication happened, meaning having one node and everything else is still one node away without being connected with each other, then this is still the case where graph databases work quite ok (somewhere around 6 seconds if i remember correctly)
b) having a long chain of data: A->B->C->D (in that use case basically a person who moves very often). beside having to write an utterly complex query for that, I remember that I was not able to receive any results within an excaptable time.

2. That is only for that use case. But the underlying matching library we developed can work together with any kind of structured data. It would be interessting to actually use it in some other contexts as so far we have not tested that out yet.

3. Currently no - pure GraphQL api currently. But I was thinking about that. In order to actually support something like this, it would be very interessting to also focus on cross entity linking to make it really cool. We have something like this, but didn't really focus on that yet.
Thanks for the elaborate answer.

> If you're focusing on work, or just sitting around do you even register the things going on outside?

I actually do, and took me a while to realize that not everyone experiences surroundings as I do. Definitely can relate to this, and some of the other patterns you and others described here.
No, I said equality of opportunity: both Bill Gates' child and the child born in the trailer park should, at birth, have the same chance to become extremely rich or extremely poor. That would mean that they have the same opportunities.

If you believe in a strong genetic component, than you can complicate the formula a bit.
Yes, because it's a movie, not a documentary.
I hate landlords as much as the next person but this is pretty sick.

Bold to state that they are trying to prevent "profiting" too.
A years worth of mortgage payments while their tenant freeloads. I'm sure their property has been super profitable.
I imagine they are just trying to recoup some loss at this point.

Beyond needing to visit the pharmacy monthly because vyvanse can’t be delivered, my life didn’t change much. I still have just as much trouble focusing as usual. Maybe I should increase the dosage..
Enforcing the GDPR properly would make Facebook as we currently know it unsustainable, so they'd have to charge money, opening themselves up to competition.
Actually, I’m pretty sure strong magnetic fields can effect the rate for beta-capture decay. There are some promising results when googled.

After all, it involves capturing an electron from the electron cloud so it’s not too far stretched to think a force that effects the electron cloud could change the decay rate.

I think there is a whole class of conspiracy theories being left out, and I classify them as anthropomorphizing social phenomenon. This is the "They" that we hear so much of. To me, when a person subscribes to one of these theories, I don't think it necessarily makes them particularly gullible or crazy. It's just very difficult for human beings to understand complex, emergent phenomena without ascribing some kind of teleology to it—a single mind (or small group) behind it all.

Even language makes this difficult. Ask someone to explain natural selection to you, sometime.

So, what we have in many cases are various changes in our society, some of which are truly unintended consequences of some government policy or invention; then, throw in some group that benefits from this change, either unintentionally or because they were able to recognize and seize an opportunity, and that's all you really need for some people to think that "They" were behind the thing, all along.
This is another great example of the benefits of just rolling up your sleeves and doing the hard work one task at a time.

Don't get me wrong. I love high leverage solutions. But sometimes you just have to grind it out.
Stimulants including Adderall have been formally trialed for depression treatment. They don't work.

Don't confuse the molecular mechanism of a drug for its eventual outcome. There is far more to a medication than binding affinities.
Where's the ideological content?

Some people: "let's use, of already-established pronouns, the one that doesn't make any assumptions about people"
You: "no, fuck you, other people's interpretation of what I say is strictly their problem, I'm gonna stick with 'he' no matter what other people feel or request, because I can"

The only ideology I can see here is the absolutist sort of "nobody can even suggest to me that I change a thing" or "I can't possibly cause offense if I don't mean to, so I don't need to think about word usage."
Well, everything you said is correct, threejs will get those fans spinning, battery draining, and numbers crunching. But I really like threejs myself.

My concern is that data should be presented as plain text. There isnt a need for rotating coins saying "look! data!" with neon color animations :)
I am really happy to see that. So many concerns over privacy all around the web
I'm trying to think of how one could do this in a way that wasn't even more intrusive? This way Google doesn't have to tie any identifying information about you to your SSID/AP, it can just silently discard the location data about those SSIDs.

Otherwise people could abusively de-register SSIDs by doing the same sort of scanning Google is doing to improve location services, or have to force a user to authenticate and "claim" an SSID, which is much more intrusive.

(disclosure: googler, but not in any way associated with any of this)
The US has created so much bureaucracy, it's hard to imagine clawing ourselves out from under it.
