It’s not even like being gay completely prevents people from having kids! There is surrogacy, and artificial insemination, and always an awful lot of kids without parents. As well as plenty of heterosexual couples with fertility problems that society aids instead of criminalizing. It’s pure bigotry to criminalize being gay, there are plenty of ways to encourage people to have families without doing so.

I'm on pro. Have been since the start. It still shoves bing results and app suggestions and all sorts of other stuff into the start menu by default. I've long since turned all that stuff off, so maybe it's improved...
This. Twitter isn't getting my phone number. So, I'm not using Twitter. It's really that simple.

Somehow my account is "blocked" for "security reasons", yet Twitter is still fine sending me spam from it.

Besides, all SMS 2FA does is open you up to getting social engineering SIM hacked when you weren't before.
So, if "cargo ships can charge more than seven times as much to bring a container from Asia to the U.S. as they can for the return trip", how long is waiting worth it? The answer should be one-seventh of the transit time, right? That is, if the detour to fill container with grain or rapeseed oil bottles adds more than 20% before it arrives back in China ready to be filled with factory goods, then it's a loss.

That'll be only a few days. Quite a harsh time constraint. I feel sorry for those farmers.
Thank you cloudflare for calling AWS out on their ridiculous transfer pricing. Anybody working in this space has been frustrated with it for over a decade. We all know it's a ripoff, and we all know it's priced in a way to lock you and others into AWS.

I've used AWS at every job I've ever had. But that bandwidth pricing has been incredibly frustrating.

Also where possible we now host on lightsail, because the bandwidth savings make the hardware completely free. It's not the best hardware, but it works. The web console is also a joy to use by comparison.
It's more common than you think!

The problem with iOS is that it's built on the assumption that you can't not trust Apple and their services. An iPhone literally trusts Apple more than it trusts you. It won't let you past the initial setup unless it gets an okay from the mothership. On Android you could at least disable all the Google stuff.
I can't quite follow what you're thinking.

The bitcoin transaction format has numerous points of intentional forward compatibility: Fields, flags, bits, etc. which intentionally have no effect at this time but which could be further restricted in the future in order to create functionality. Examples include future transaction version numbers and future script version numbers.

Use of these forward compatibility features is "non-standard" which means that unmodified software will not relay, mine, or display-while-unconfirmed transactions which use them. But if they happen to show up inside blocks, they'll be accepted.

This protects these fields for future use. Otherwise, some software would start randomly setting them (e.g. due to programming mistakes or confusion) and then these systems would catch fire when later the fields were given a defined meaning.

This article is about output with version 1 instead of version 0. Currently v1 is defined to have no effect. At block 709632 (in November roughly) that will change and v1 will have a meaning defined by BIP-341 (https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0341.mediawi...).

Probably, but to be fair, when a client asks "can you put a button here that sends an alert email when it's clicked?"... a reasonable first question may very well be "what is it you're hoping to accomplish here... so we can tell if such a button is really the right answer". In many cases, the button isn't the right answer. And being the kind of person that digs to find out what the problem trying to be solved actually is... can be very important.
From an American viewpoint at least, this is actually very reasonably priced. Paying < $20 for a session of medical services is essentially unheard of. I paid $30 as copay for PT every two weeks with rather nice insurance, and every time I walk into a doctor's office it's _at least_ $30.

I have never pursued therapy but I'm sure it would be a minimum of $30 per session with insurance, if not more.

Not to say it couldn't be better, but at first glance this is a _great_ improvement from the status quo.
It's funny, I grew up them and remember quite clearly how Microsoft was(likely still actually is), I haven't had windows installed on any of my computers since 2009, yet, I'd still be willing to give a Microsoft phone a try at this point just for some kind of alternative.
What's wrong with this guy lately? I generally love his essays on old games, but last two entries?

First, he bashes Full Throttle, an absolute gem, and my favourite LucasArts adventure. Next, he is not happy with "The Dig", a game I deeply loved back then.

If he didn't write an essay on Star Control 2 earlier, at this point I would filly expect him to be unimpressed even by SC2.
Clearly there are companies that offer extension as a service, you pay 20 times as much and they promise to extend your domain 10 times.
Thanks for your work! I'm installing right now but won't be able to try it out for a while. How far away are we from distinguishing between different calls from the same species?

Some birds in my locale mostly repeat themselves, but some seem to have 'vocabularies' of 3-5 different calls, and you can hear pitch and timing inflections within those - might be just random variation in combination with different calls it might yield 30-60 'words'. Sometimes I've been sitting under a tree and heard what seemed to start out as a conversation that degenerated into an argument followed by a physical fight.

Even crows seem to have distinct patterns/variations in their cawing, and given what we know about their tool-using abilities I'm curious to know how they use their voices. I've seen remarkable behaviors like a group of crows harassing a falcon to interfere with its pursuit of a smaller songbird.
They obviously need gay pride parades every week & convicted child molesters to teach their children the benefits of pedophilia.
I guess the reason you're being downvoted is that you're complaining about comments which have already been downvoted, which brings nothing to the discussion, and also you're drawing conclusions about a community that does not exist.
They only hire the best of the best!
That would be true if everyone wasn't also asking the same questions. So you are just testing whether the person knows that you ask that question or has interviewed at other places that do (I have seen this in other industries too: firm adopts some "interview technique", no women get through, no under-represented groups get through, they are baffled but put it down to their process being a completely objective identifier of innate genius...kind of ignoring that some of these places are hiring tens of thousands of people who, by definition, aren't geniuses...people are weird).
I was more responding to your analogy. I couldn't say whether the penalty is too low in this case, and you may be right.

Thanks for pointing this out, I've gone ahead and removed mentions of Cloudflare's pricing from my comment since I can't find an authoritative source for their egress pricing in their docs. The point general point still stands, all cloud provider egress costs suck and Cloudflare is just trying to strongarm AWS into entering a bandwidth agreement with them.

You’d do well to not speak generally but specifically to the case. Sperm bank for women and surrogate moms are non-existent in Ghana. Take a walk on any random street and ask (1) how that woman became pregnant (2) why the child calls the parent mom or dad and you'll get traditional answers. That said, child birth/procreation isn't what the bill protects. We have no such issue in the country.

Good. If we're going to have a Selective Service, it's long since past time that it should include everybody. Women are allowed to join the military, and there's no good reason to exclude them from a draft -- if we have one.

We probably shouldn't have one, but I suspect that getting rid of it will be hard, since it doesn't cost much and it's still there if somehow we should need it. If anything, perhaps those who oppose having women register for the draft would be more amenable to getting rid of the draft entirely if women are included.
Yes this sort of ironic seesaw across times and places is interesting to behold. Sort of reap what you sow kind of thing where old traumas replay themselves across boundaries between people. The positions change back and forth, but the conflict remains.

This course of action appears to be a result of a recent wildfire that may have been caused by PG&E power lines
Of course!

There's nothing wrong in being gay, I was simply discussing why some countries outlaw it.

We are talking about Ghana where all the options you mention are not available to the majority of the population and even if they were, they wouldn't have the money.

Imagine a gay person being responsible for a significant portion of the income of their family, would they risk jail to express themselves or would they not risk to go to jail to not put their family in troubles?

It's, ça va sans dire, unacceptable for our standards.
I remember being able to do mobile banking on a website on my BlackBerry. It must have been 2010 or '11, before banks began rolling out native apps.

I don't understand why that's not possible now. Responsive websites are basically 1:1 in functionality w/ desktop, there is no need to have separate, gimped "m.bank.com" sites anymore.

End result of this is that I stopped doing banking on my phone, and 90% of my use cases are now served by F-Droid or by apps not on the Play store.
Yeah, good call. You should probably stay away.
Any chance of making the app available via F-Droid or some non siloed vector
I'm wondering what sort of "app" would be deployable to all these platforms? Any examples?

I'm not super familiar with Perl, but I gather that it shares much of bash's, er, ergonomic hurdles.

Is there something about gaining scripting power that requires such poor usability? I resisted it for a while, but I just write all my workaday scripts in Python now, and I'm honestly a little baffled as to why I stuck with bash for so long.
I still think Windows Phone was good. Perhaps they should have marketed it as a Zune phone.
Sorry, I responded too quickly to this comment:

>- Libraries often CAN'T be written in a separate language without an additional effort -- and often writing with interop in mind means you have to give up nice features like C++ STL containers

And I said something that wasn't quite right.

What I should have said is: Yes, writing a language-independent library can be harder, because you need to use a language-independent type system to describe the signature of the library. But it's harder still to write a standalone process, because protocol schemas are even less capable than language-independent type systems. And no, you don't need to avoid STL or anything.

>Re "Software fault isolation", ... you have manually serialize/deserialize messages

No you don't. For further reference, also look at the other library privilege-separation techniques I linked.

>are we talking about production languages which people write programs on

Yes. Such as C.
For some definition of easy :-).

Consider the following, in order to work, the turbine (which has a fairly high mass) has to avoid being blown out of position by the very winds it is trying to harness. Because it is quite high, the distance between the turbine and the base form a moment arm of great length. So the entire system understands the torque moment on the turbine and has in place the ability to avoid tilting.

Compare that with the displacement mass of pretty much any ship you might send out there to work on it. I'm guessing that you're more than likely to winch the maintenance ship out of the water than your are going to get that turbine to tilt over. (disclaimer here, a spent a lot of my youth sailing and got a pretty good appreciation both for how "hard" ocean winds could try to tip you and how much a boat with a serious keel could resist that attempt to turn them over.)
Yea, there's posts on Reddit about how some series cards have faulty power delivery. The failure is because the card doesn't properly regulate power under certain conditions, which the New World menu happened to create
Yes. One of the thing not mentioned or posted on HN. In China where there are flooding going on, a whole city with no power, and mobile network. Since their whole infrastructure was setup with Digital payment ( WeChat Pay or AliPay ) and dont use any cash, they could not use it without Mobile Network. Authentication and other Government usage also requires an App and unusable.

Most people act as if Mobile Phone and Apps doesn't matter. It does and increasingly so. I think the argument would have some ground in 2015 or 2018. But in 2020 and forward looking into 2025 and 2030 there is no denying, phone is acting like an infrastructure, whether we like it or not.
Of course it isn't. Unless you think that hacker news somehow represents the software development market...?
I'd consider Oregon trail educational, but that's just me.
You highlight the big challenge with computer vision and other computerized identification of things, regardless of the underlying technology. There is no "mental model" of what makes sense against which to check observations. There can be coded rules, but if something passes them, there is no extra sanity check like a person would do. Put another way, models have no common sense, and we don't really have a meaningful way to give it to them. This is going to remain a problem for self driving cars and is a big part of the reason why they have not lived up to expectations.

I think there’s a big difference between the satellites making little dark spots in the sky and making faint bright spots. Maybe not. Either way I don’t think it’s a problem. If they can cancel out the turbulence of the atmosphere, they can cancel out whatever signal the satellites introduce. But that’s optical. I wonder if having all that metal up there would interfere with radio astronomy?

I don't understand. Liverpool lost its status after removing the structures that made it historic. That was a deliberate choice, to put them to better use.

The tunnel is intended to make Stonehenge more like its original status, not less. It buries a road that you can currently see from the site, interrupting the plain.

Does UNESCO have reason to think that the tunnel will do damage to the site? Presumably it was designed to go deep and not interfere with the archeology of the site.
That's TSMC's decision to stop activity with a sanctioned entity. Since they aren't under US jurisdiction they are free to resume it at any time.
uninteresting to you

A lot of discoveries of interesting stuff resulted from something uninteresting being considered interesting and deeply contemplated. Others look and say "what an idiot, spending such time on such uninteresting x", I say, "you're only my self-imagined disagreeable other, I'm your god, your consciousness is my consciousness, what say you now?" and they would say nothing since the puppeteer has been revealed and there is nothing left to say. I guess this is why God will never prove he exists.
Definitely but I think we need something that will work with the web we currently have while these bigger ideas are fleshed out and adopted.

Also, while IPNS covers the issue of linking to dynamic content, it's worth mentioning IPFS will have similar issues with DNS as DNSLink and similar domain-driven solutions are used to cover its usability issues (long, random URIs).
I still wish Oracle took over TikTok. It would have been an amazing plot twist. Would they come up an Oracle style licensing agreement for all the tweens on TikTok?

Just like how Gen Z realized much faster than millennials that the economy and their future is hogwash, they would learn the consequences of agreeing to an Oracle license agreement much faster than their older peers.
I'd say invest in the former, as having better robot control schemes should allow you to more easily iterate on different design alternatives
Softforks reduce deployment complexity but increase overall complexity.

A softfork is like internet access over phone-lines. If you pick up the line, participants that aren't on the latest code will often hear a bunch of garbage that they can't make sense of. Someone might even send them money but they won't be able to make sense of it or accept it since it's now encapsulated.

From an overall network perspective, this may be a worse state of affairs vs. just making everyone upgrade (hard-fork).
It seem that this company is doing more of the middleware and higher level interfaces/adding intelligence to industrial robots than they are trying to build their own robots (Google tried that at least 3 times and failed).
