Ah, good suggestion! Will add that in to prevent confusion
I am a bit familiar with Autonomy, but I don’t know the exact specifics. They were in the software license business, so if I were to speculate, they would get a new channel partner and then forward them 250 server licenses, book the full revenue during that quarter, and then the partner has to sell all the licenses. But that could possibly take years. Repeat with a handful of fresh partners and you could book a significant amount of revenue growth. Given Autonomy had access to huge amounts of credit, money could have been fronted and exchanged to make these transactions look very legitimate and this could have been lucrative for the partner.

The roundtripping is not very clear. Maybe the same thing thru one of their acquisition companies?

Yes? Fear, uncertainty and doubt is the correct attitude toward TPMs. (Assuming you count "We know it's going to hurt us, just not how long it will take to happen." as "doubt".)

That is just not true, though. If Apple allowed different stores, then software would migrate to those different stores for various reasons, but probably because they had less restrictions. That would force you to install those less secure stores to use that software, and you would give up the security you gain from Apple taking a hard line on many kinds of bad behaviour on their own store.
I see. Thank you. This is curious to know. However, I have tried the Visual Studio 2019 WPF designer on a new laptop recently and it shown black artifacts on the form and complete garbage in place of the components palette. I've installed the graphics driver from the GPU vendor website and that fixed the problem. The driver used before that was a supposedly stable version developed by the same vendor and shipped by Microsoft. This led me to the conclusion there still is a lot of weird hardware-dependent stuff happening under the hood.
CA is one of the biggest states in the nation with a sizable border, and it can absolutely affect federal immigration and border policy should it so desire.

That's not even a matter here. Many homeless are USA citizens. If you offer them food, drugs, and allow stealing from stores with impunity - they will come and take advantage of your policies. Try doing it in rural Texas - they will have your guts for garters.
This reminds me of Silicon Valley’s main character preferring tabs to spaces because they use less bytes, despite his own product being for... compression!

I personally prefer spaces so that under any circumstances, the code reads the same as the author intended (whether you’re in an editor or viewing a file with a CLI tool). Are we really counting bytes in this day and age?
Oh wow, I... really wish I'd known about that second API a while ago. I gave up on writing my own client because HN's API was so frustrating.

You can indeed spin up a store at absolutely no cost.

There's no tracking or A/B testing yet, but you'll definitely be able to see which product performs better in terms of sales.
On one hand that's true, on the other hand people will often think "why bother?". I expect that Kotlin usage (at least on the server) will slowly fall as Java is getting better and better, and probably the same for Scala. Clojure seems to have a more unique value proposition but it's already the least used of the 3 hosted languages.
Spreadsheets are great. I just wish folks would use a more appropriate tool for what they really want: a very light-touch database. Something like Airtable is perfect for structuring a bit of data into rows and columns.

But, nothing beats the availability (both of sharing and editing) of an open Google Sheet.
I think nearly 100% chance we'll get at least ~1T in infra spending on the 'hard' stuff which includes broadband. But that cost makes me wonder is it worth it when we could instead support efforts like Starlink?

Or build a government run version. though while lots of good reasons to - e.g. low rates, free access for kids etc - letting Gov own even more of our internet is probably not great.

That 30k / 42k number is mostly Musk lies. It's very unlikely to ever happen given the size of the market, the cost of launches, and the short lifetime of satellites in LEO.

Basically, they would have to constantly launch significantly more satellites than they do today to ever maintain a 30-40k satellite network in LEO. And even Musk estimates like 500k customers - this would basically mean 1 satellite for every 10-20 customers, once every few years. There is no way for that to make economic sense.

My prediction is that they will stop somewhere around the current number of satellites, in fact. At the very most, they might triple the current number.
That's true.

But the solution is to find a subreddit that works the way you want it to.

They're being downvoted because it's against the rules to criticize the design of the site on which the content is hosted.
Those apps are definitely in direct violation of app store rules, and would be removed if they were detected. If they have not been removed, it is because they were successful in hiding their rule breaking.
Why would that be in any way surprising? Perhaps it’s that I have family on the money side but I see exactly how these people operate. Is this not everyone’s fundamental understanding of how society works? It’s NEVER been about how much you know and has ALWAYS been about how you make others feel, but now it’s also about knowing things and using your knowledge to kiss ass, to put a fine point on it. I’m truly laughing at this behavior, as it only hurts in the long run.

I moved to a recreational state and I tried a single puff. I was almost instantly high. Prior to this I had not used marijuana since I was a stupid teenager doing stupid stuff, so it had been over a decade since the last time.

When it was available back then it was always some low quality dirt weed that you could smoke for days and still function on.

With the legal recreational stuff, I was so blasted out of my mind that I couldn't hold a conversation. I had a mild panic attack because of slow playing music, and was high for the rest of the night. It was not fun, it was scary.

Maybe my tolerance has decreased, sure, but the strength differences in modern recreational weed are so severe that they probably should not be considered to be the same drug any longer.

If what was available to me as a teenager was like beer, the new stuff starts at vodka and goes way past Everclear.

After the past year and a half, that's more debatable than ever

Ah thank you for the clarification! Keychain is truly the 'Mac-assed' solution isn't it?

I know it's kind of a feature/property of HN to not implement notifications or other attention driving features but it'd be interesting to see this app periodically poll HN for any replies to My Posts / My Comments and generate at least sidebar number badges, if not app badges and system notifications. I'd implement a preference on the latter two though, in keeping with the spirit of not having HN turn completely into an attention grabbing social network for those that wish it not to be.
We could also just all stop being prudes about nudity. I can't name a single other species that would shame because one of them is naked.
I think you missed my point.

Yes, Excel is a very powerful tool and I would never argue otherwise. I definitely wouldn't argue against using it altogether. But I have come to loathe it because of how often it is misused.

Sure, any tool can be misused. But in my experience Excel gets misused more than anything else combined. Excel's accessibility and ubiquity is part of what makes it so powerful... and what compels people to use it where other tools are much better suited.

Don't get me wrong. It's okay to use a suboptimal tool... to a point. Users should be aware of a tool's limitations and seek out better solutions when it's clear those limitations will cause problems.

Excel is not a bad tool. It's so popular because it really is a good tool. It's just not the ultimate tool.

Well, traditionally, subject to them police abuse to get them to move at least out of sight if not out of the state, or buy them one way bus tickets to the farthest point possible, with the threat of some kind of punishment if they hang around to make them someone else's problem.
Many power users of excel do use more capable, testable and readable solutions. But they also use excel. Programming sucks in many ways that excel does not. Excel is incredibly flexible and adaptable.

If you need to treat one row differently as a special case that is easy in excel but can be a lot of work with programming, both for technical reasons (you need to handle the special case with special code) and for silly reasons (in excel you click the row which is special; in a program you must describe how to find the row.)
Certainly there is an argument that one shouldn’t have such special cases as they make maintainability a nightmare but sometimes it matters a lot more to have something now rather than something later.

In excel, the data is the most important thing and in the real world it often is too. In a program, the data (especially the intermediate data) is quite invisible. Power users may spot errors because intermediate values look wrong, rather than by carefully reading the formulas. Though if the values look right or there are a lot of them, errors may not be spotted.

Excel is very ad-hoc which is the problem people complain about but also it’s power in dealing with the changing real world and anything exploratory. Once it is working and stable in excel, it is more wise to do it in python.
There is no enormous work needed to create a time domain solver. Libraries like `QuantumOptics.jl` and analogous on Matlab, Python and Mathematica let's you define the Hamiltonian of an idealized system and solve it. For 16 qubits the matrix size (dimension) is 2^16=65536, can be solved very quickly on a local machine. Furthermore the Hamiltonian matrix is sparse enabling more optimizations.

At the moment state of the art supercomputer can simulate 47 qubits. For 46 the necessary resources are about 4 times smaller. So with handful you meant order of 30 then yes. Only a handful of qubits.
One of the reasons we don't have them all is that individual genes can encode for multiple protein isoforms through alternative splicing. AlphaFold was only run on one. Otherwise, there's lots of important biochemical/biophysical processes that impact structure, as cells are only about 50% protein by weight.
Haven’t tried it yet but the screen shot looks great. Clean, simple and not over engineered.

Hello, I’m the developer. Didn’t expect a Show HN post to go into a second—chance pool — I woke up an hour ago to find that my app was trending on HN.

I developed this b.c. I found that I didn’t like HN mixed with other work/school related tabs, and realized that a separate app would be great for me. I believe that apps should use the most native-like UI possible — especially Cocoa on macOS, so I aimed to be the most ‘Mac-assed’ HN client possible.

Unfortunately the current app is in fact pretty unpolished — it’s in a usable state, but there’s a lot of missing features that one would expect from a ‘full-featured’ HN client. Probably a bunch of unknown bugs as well :-(. I would very appreciate any suggestions on feature additions or simple bug reports. Thanks!
Depends. Something I use all the time, like a music player or a chat app, I hate having to use a web app or a app that just wraps a web interface as they are usually slow, clunky, glitchy, power hungry and with non-standard interfaces especially things like keyboard shortcuts, drag n drop support. But something like this app I would probably never install as I don’t spend that much time writing stuff on HN. HN is just a website that links to other websites that I mostly just have a look once or twice a day for semi-obscure interesting science, tech and design news that hasn’t made it to ars technica or whatever.
In many cases these are transmission lines between urban areas that cross rural areas.

Or in the case of the Camp Fire, we're talking about a transmission line constructed in the 1920's to carry hydroelectric power from the Sierra Nevada to other areas-- primarily Contra Costa County.
I was using Linux for about 5 years, with my MPK Mini II through LMMS without any hassle (my needs are basic). I moved back to Windows a week ago and decided to go all-in on using the software they offered with the instrument. The amount of registering, license agreeing, and license managing (including iLok) I had to go through was absolutely sickening. I knew it was going to bad, I've heard plenty of complaints, but I didn't think it would be nearly that crazy. I really wish the digital audio industry would change on the front, it's worse than any other type of software I've used personally. Until then, I'm just going to stick with analog instruments.
Maybe ""stalking" is a bit of an overblown term for it" as the term for what they are doing..

however when this is done for nefarious purposes it's called doxxing (sp) by some - and that is usually done with the intent to defame and to push others to do other harmful, often offline things, with the combined info.

Which is worst than stalking imho / in most cases.

Luckily it seems that this service is not doxxing everyone on the internet -

I hope it will not have a field where people can enter a name and have it auto-dox people - and there would be some tripwires for when people may add porn stars / onlyfans / cam girls - stuff like that or example.

I guess it could also get nasty if certain (right/left) wing people were combined with ill intent - especially if you could trick the system into adding some things that were not true.

random thoughts, not completed.

I have a semi-old business idea that could use the tech stack this is putting together that would be helpful and easy to monetize - not huge scale like twitter, but certainly could be pop enough to make recurring money without much human hands on.
People generally don't want to overdose. ODs happen when people are mistaken about the quality and purity of the product they get hold of. Legalisation would reduce the risks significantly.
Shouldn't Excel warn you if your data is going to be truncated? Or did they use Excel in a way that suppressed such warnings?
I think literally anything would be better than reading this news. I’m glad this non-problem has been solved so that people can emulate GBA games, just incredible. (I understand that this adds features that were missing and to that end I would say as an -avid- gamer I couldn’t care any less about those features than I do now, which is already very little.)
The latter is the dereference operator, it's commonly overridden for single element container types.
for this to be true, the password to key transformation have to be extremely broken for you to be able to infer what is a valid key from what looks like fixed size random noise.

well, this might be true if you use some NIST or RSA certified process :) but who cares about that other than bureaucrats who run entire cities with one set of master keys anyway.

> This is rate-limited by hardware

See this is the kinda of thing those bureaucrats would say. If your hdd is out of your device and i am brute forcing the key, who cares about the password to key transformation? that is already behind me.
Suborbital rocketry can be useful. Much early rocket science involved "sounding rockets", which were capable of going above (very nearly all of) the Earths' atmosphere, as well as serving as testbed platforms for rocket-surgery-related systems (launch, recovery, plumbing, guidance, etc.)

The delta-v differential between sub-orbital and orbital is tremendous, though.

I don't know why it is always the same basic pattern. As soon as something becomes a "store of value" it ceases to be useful. It's a big problem with money and land. I put store of value in quotes because things like stocks and bonds are direct promises of value. Storing value has been delegated to the employees of the company or the borrower of the bond.

Meanwhile with Bitcoin, deflationary currency (think of the yen) and land where is that value coming from? Who are you delegating the process to? You are basically letting the rest of the world figure it out while doing nothing to help them figure it out. Clearly all the increases in value are coming out of the pocket of someone else.

Also, what is the point of an abstract "store of value"? At the end of the month you spent less than you earned. Meaning you didn't use up the labor of other people allotted to you this month. When you think about it, it basically means you worked and someone else didn't. Their time was wasted so to speak but you insist that the person that didn't work still owes you the labor you worked so hard for.

Even if you let the person work in that same month, that person would still have to know what you want to buy in the future and produce it ahead of time so that the product that you want to buy is sitting on a shelf waiting for you. But if that is the case, why not buy the product the month it was produced? Why delay the purchase?

It feels to me that our money system is flawed in exactly the opposite way that most people think. The average person wants their money to be flawed, I mean they want it to be sound money: Aesthetically pleasing to collect with as little utility as possible.
The actual title of the article is "This MMO that promised an 'infinite open world' has become a giant fiasco." It's about the apparent failure of an MMORPG called Dream World, and nepotism at YCombinator is only mentioned as one of many allegations related to that.

It's clear from Bloom's introduction, written in 2000 I think, that he believed US society and particularly universities like Yale, his employer, had entered a dark time in which ideologies were blinding readers to the humanity of the authors, their characters, and to themselves.
Just to give another perspective. I vape pretty much every evening. It's just a small amount and it's also is heavy on CBD. After all my work is done.

I can't say i perform any worse in any regard than i did before (didn't use to partake a few years ago). But i also eat clean, sleep enough, exercise and so on. I also keep my tolerance in check. The latter may be because of the CBD, that should in theory also prevent some of long term effects of THC.

Bottom line, i think it's is highly individual to the person and also what product is used. Cannabis is a highly complex substance, unlike say alcohol (IMHO). You may have to try out a few combinations before you find one that suits you and your chemistry/biology.
I am so excited for this to become available to more people. Especially during the pandemic, a lot of people realized how crucial fast internet is to modern life. One relative didn't have internet the entire time - would have cost thousands to install - and had to break quarantine in order to use internet that he needed to work.
I guess I’ll have to add a compact mode that hides some of the UI. Thanks for the idea!
