> opposing isn't eliminating completely, it's just eliminating unnecessary use.

Some opposing is for eliminating it completely on a long enough timescale. We've gotten extremely bad at talking about longterm goals and longterm outcomes in politics. If I say "Ban cars. Reforest Parking Lots." as my political slogan the opposition comes out in droves acting like I said "if elected King-Mayor with magic powers to actually enact legislation on day one, I will sign into law a ban on all cars and no one can legally drive them and everyone will be stuck with no transit options, good day" whether that is what I believe and whether or not any of them realize that "Reforest Parking Lots" is an ecologically slow process and don't expect that to happen overnight.

This lack of an ability to sell long term vision, because so many are willfully and obtusely taking the shortest term views on the world, on bumper stickers and in political slogans is just crippling to so many of our political narratives right now. It's especially crippling in our ability to truly compromise on a lot of issues. Instead of starting from a long term vision of "We believe we should ban cars because that could lead to a better society at some point in the future" we have to do all of this leg work to start with a "pre-compromise" of our vision, the smaller/simpler "pragmatic" option we think will "sell" to the public such as "let's build shops closer to people's homes" (which is great, but doesn't address the root problem it addresses a symptom/co-factor), and in so doing opponents don't have to meet us in the true middle ("well, let's not ban cars just yet, but what if we…") and instead arrive at an even weaker compromise of the compromise ("well moving shops closer to people's homes is an admirable goal, but it's a free market so let's just lazily incentivize that with tax write-offs and see if they take the bait" doesn't get us any closer to "let's get people to drive less", it's still a good idea, but it's definitely not anywhere on the radar of "meet me halfway on banning cars here").
Valve has made it so Linux is finally back to the point "Linux has games it can run that I can play" but it's still a far cry from reaching "Games that I play I can run on Linux".

For some it's not a problem but for those that play games from developers which use kernel level anti-cheat Proton isn't a be-all-end-all that Linux is now ready to migrate to.
I feel like there's a bit of irony in using the word "talent" in light of what László Polgár's work was attempting to demonstrate.
> you would have to do a lot of work to sort them again in the correct order of the program

Actually, there were machines called card sorters that could sort cards back into the right order.[1] In the card images shown on this page, you can see that there are sequential serial numbers in columns 73 - 80, which could be used to sort these cards.

Many programming languages, such as Fortran, would ignore anything punched after column 72, allowing columns 73 - 80 to be used for this purpose.

> for library writers, how many people might use it can be a deciding factor on investing the time

Yes. Especially given that a high percentage of library development these days is being done by industry, not just academia. (At least in machine learning.) They're not writing packages for fun or for academic citations, they want users.
It's easier to build solar farms than solar cars.

That's the ouch? Not literally rewriting history to create evidence for a murder trial?

> But after the 11:46 p.m. alert came in, a ShotSpotter analyst manually overrode the algorithms and “reclassified” the sound as a gunshot. Then, months later and after “post-processing,” another ShotSpotter analyst changed the alert’s coordinates to a location on South Stony Island Drive near where Williams’ car was seen on camera.

> Motherboard’s review of court documents from the Williams case and other trials in Chicago and New York State, including testimony from ShotSpotter’s favored expert witness, suggests that the company’s analysts frequently modify alerts at the request of police departments—some of which appear to be grasping for evidence that supports their narrative of events.

Marketing games are absolutely nothing compared to this.
No, the problem is domestically, the Japanese government wants Toyota to do fuel cells, not batteries. It's causing no doubt development problems for them to work on both.
"the crowdfunding campaign to develop it" is the important part.
Men are more overrepresented as targets by police violence than black people are. So you just brought up a strong example of female privilege, and more specifically white female privilege. But certainly not a white male privilege.
They’re a huge dinosaur. Obviously they cannot turn around quickly.
They’re struggling with EVs because, in the past, they came out against them. So, because they didn’t want to not-struggle with them.
To defend free speech you need to fight propaganda. Propaganda is literally the opposite of free speech. People being paid to say this or that is not free speech.
Is there anything you think that prevents Julia from being general purpose? The main one I run into is that the garbage collector needs work, but fundamentally I don't think there's much that keeps Julia from being good as a general purpose language.
Switching to electric vehicles is a necessary but not sufficient condition to eliminate fossil fuel emissions.

Because gunshots are rare and if you're just triangulating loud noise you're gonna be overwhelmed by false positives. Even if you do basic filtration to try and tease out the sound of a gunshot vs everything else you're still gonna get overwhelmed by false positives.
So much this. Fencing was only played once at 5am EST. Finding somewhere to watch recordings is impossible.
There's also a phenomenon where migrants are more likely to cling to their prototypical tradition than people who stay.

For example, the Taiwanese use traditional Chinese whereas Mainland China use simplified Chinese. Or the orthodox Jewish communities in Brooklyn. The Vietnamese diaspora.
Sounds like a great benefit. I would free up so much time in my day.
Who says it's a "NBD"?

Do you think we should stop selling electric cars because electricity is dirty? Someone has to start, and it's not exactly easy to convert every power grid, it's a lot easier to start using it more and more and new power sources are green and older dirty is phased out slowly.
Does that mean we could also achieve (or actually are) organisation without coordination?

I keep hearing CoL but what's never discussed is assets and equity.

Sure, houses cost more in the Bay Area, but then when you sell the house you get more money. Meaning you can then retire in a low CoL place. But someone selling his cheaper house can't decide to retire in the Bay Area.
Because it's pretty easy to use google and look up the fact that the carbon intensity of EVs is already significantly lower than ICE vehicles, and the gap is only going to widen as more renewables (and possibly nuclear) come online.
Chess already has the terminology of light squares and dark squares, so adopting that for the pieces too would add confusion and awkwardness.

For example “black’s light squared bishop” would become “light’s light squared bishop”.
The button, bottom right, opens the page in Safari, and is standard across all iOS apps implementing that webview. In what way(s) is that not what you are looking for?
I read that Toyota went all in on hydrogen fuel cells instead of the battery tech everyone else uses. Apparently it didn't work so they had to redesign the car which caused the delay.
Any time I see "accuracy" reported as a single number, I assume it's B.S. and "for marketing purposes only". If you're serious, give me the precision and recall.
Sure, you can receive financial aid -- I mentioned that that's why I attended that school. However, it isn't without strings attached and even most full ride scholarships don't account for the annual tuition increases.

For anything else, there are student loans. Easy to get, hard to get rid of. They have higher interest rates than mortgages, and people take similarly long periods of time to pay them off.

I know people who still owe tens of thousands on their undergraduate loans, decades after graduation. They work, they make payments, but they may never pay them off.
Major power stations are far more efficient than a million individual engines. Even if the power stations literally ran off petrol we’d still be in a better position than before.
Huh? They’re very much not advanced. They’re simpler cars than their rivals, which allows for higher dependability. That’s the whole crux of their offering.

I like Julia because of the trivial 10x performance improvements I get over writing similar code in Python/numpy.

What I don't like is how Julia attempts to force you into a REPL workflow. Everything is optimized for REPL work. I just want to write a script in a text editor and run it from the command line. Please make this easy for me.

(Other HN comments have said this in more detail, for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27310747.)
Because it is misinformation. An electric car on dirty power still produces less pollution than an ICE car. Power plants are very efficient.

And even if they weren't the case it would still be a good strategy to tackle both problems simultaneously instead of waiting until one problem is solved until you start solving the other one.
>You must be able to realise that it is not exactly presented in such manner as to be "unknown". Unknown would simply mean windows doesn't know about it and its upto user's discretion. Microsoft, by virtue of all the telemetry, happen to know that this application is uncommon. Why not say that? Why not let the user decide whether they want to run an uncommon app?

But seems pretty close to what they're doing? I don't feel like downloading random shady programs to get the UI to show up, so I'll base my analysis off the screenshots from this page: http://www.rawinfopages.com/tips/2014/10/unblock-programs-bl...

1. the prompt says the app is "unrecognized"

2. the prompt says running the app "might put your PC at risk". I'm presuming that's what you meant by "dangerous", but that's not exactly the same thing.

3. The default option is indeed "don't run", and you do have to click on the non-obvious "more info" link for the "run" to show up, but this seems like a reasonable trade-off. Otherwise users might instinctive click "run" and ignore the warning.

>This, along with Microsoft's position ends up being (in my humble opinion) an abuse of powerful position. And that, again, in my own humble opinion is unacceptable in being defended.

In other words, "I'm so confident that I'm correct and microsoft is so powerful that I think it's unacceptable for people to present arguments to the contrary?
The digital broadcast is great because you can (theoretically) watch any event you want.

As the OP of the article stated, this is actually rather frustrating to do in practice.
It's presumably some sort of machine learning to distinguish gunshots from firecrackers, backfires and other kinds of impulsive sounds one would find in a city. It just does not appear to work well.
So, the issue is that, as a talking point, it's silly, because we're simultaneously pushing for greener power plants. And economies of scale presumably can make even dirty power plants more efficient than little power plants packed in cars and sold as cheap as humanly possible. From a human health standpoint, it's probably also better to concentrate our environmental impact in places we can directly combat it, rather than emit garbage all over the place right next to where humans live and work and inhale.

It's absolutely true that buying an electric car may not reduce your carbon footprint today. (It may actually increase it, if your old car was still working just fine, because the carbon cost of car production is very high.) But it's an important step on the path forward.
Is it 4K or at least higher framerate?
It's no wonder why the cops love it. Although the actual usefulness is questionable at best (much like the dogs) ShotSpotter will cook up "evidence" on command to help with the investigation (much like the dogs).
Those are raw numbers. What happens when you consider that there are more white people than black people in the United States? It reverses your claim. Your numbers show there are roughly twice as many white people shot, but there are roughly 4x as many white people as black - so being black makes you twice as likely to be shot by the police in the United States. This is so obvious I assume you're arguing in bad faith.

The sign of privilege is being unaware of it, because you're not regularly confronted with adversity. What is the worst adversity you've faced in your life as a white male? Mine is maybe being denied a lucrative job. Boo fucking hoo for me.
Useful Suggestions for Protecting Car Paint
Yes, ceramic coatings in Glasgow are known for providing the most flawless protection to the car’s paint because it resists UV rays, grime, stains, scratches, and other marks. However, it is crucial to choose a top-quality film that can last for a longer time as most of the films prove useful for at least five years.
1. So you still need the infrastructure for cars
2. Again, that's only efficient in areas with high population density.
Tutorial – How to build a fully functioning C++ To-Do List App
It is moves like this which show the tremendous impact of Tesla. The old automakers were never going to be the ones to push the switch to greener tech themselves. Even the companies that we may have thought were forward looking a decade ago like Toyota are now showing that they had no plans to embrace cleaner vehicles as an overall company strategy. The industry needed an outsider to threaten the incumbents into actually changing.

> but the name “digital footprint” sort of implies it’s what effect you’ve had on the Internet for helping keep your online persona under control: your tweets, comments, emails, et cetera.

I had the exact same thought when I saw that in the title. That would also be a cool idea to be able to search within your own online accounts.

So this is what the project's description of what "digital footprint" means:

> Apollo is a search engine and web crawler to digest your digital footprint. What this means is that you choose what to put in it. When you come across something that looks interesting, be it an article, blog post, website, whatever, you manually add it (with built in systems to make doing so easy). If you always want to pull in data from a certain data source, like your notes or something else, you can do that too. This tackles one of the biggest problems of recall in search engines returning a lot of irrelevant information because with Apollo, the signal to noise ratio is very high. You've chosen exactly what to put in it.

If I'm interpreting this correctly, this seems like an alternative way of bookmarking with advanced searching because it scrapes the data from the source. Cool idea, means I have to worry less about organizing my bookmarks.
Rust has paid promoters?
> Or maybe you’re way over-estimating how good Europe is? Just because the US is bottom barrel garbage-tier does not mean rural europe is any good.

Definitely not. No, I think what we have here in these comments is, on the one hand, a bunch of spoiled people complaining about great service (which I find very typical in Europe) and differing definitions of what's efficient and expected. In 20 years, I've never had a problem, but I also don't expect to be able to get to every single cow-milking farm by foot. If you live in way out in the woods, then you need need a car, but not if you live in most villages. For rarer buses, plan ahead. It's all possible and comfortable. In the US, it's literally not possible under any circumstances for most places.
Learning C with Gdb
Does Japan have some advantage with hydrogen I don’t know about?

EDIT: thanks, the possibility that they could create a local industry of manufacturing fuel cells instead of relying on foreign-manufactured batteries makes a lot of sense to me.
That kind of engine exists! It's called Maia, as mentioned in a sibling comment.

I wouldn't call 2001 a dystopian story.
The Dell hardware has gotten amazing and for most users Linux will run great on it. Look for models that ship OEM with Ubuntu.

Lenovo ThinkPads are also fantastic, and very repairable. They're certainly not eye candy but Linux is a first class citizen.

I'm stoked about the frame.work laptop also. Haven't gotten one yet, but I will.
No, it depends on the intent.

If the intent is to prevent the transmission of ideas, then yes it's censorship.

If the intent is to protect from harm -- totally unconnected to ideas -- then no it's not censorship.

The reason Defender deletes keygens is that they're statistically associated with malware and viruses, as any Google search will terrifyingly immediately reveal. It clearly is falling under the "protect from harm" category as it's designed to do.

But so to answer your question clearly: deleting "Animal Farm.txt" because of the ideas inside is censorship (prevents it being transmitted). The video game would similarly be censorship if based on its content. But if it's deleting all keygens, regardless of content of their associated video games, then clearly not censorship.
Exactly. An entire generation is saddled by massive student loan debt, and that has a very real impact on their economic situation for the rest of their lives.
I’ve really taken to hyper key idea on the Mac. It’s basically a shift-Control-command-option combo bound to caps lock, together with the escape key. Tapping on caps lock generates esc for all your Vim/evil needs, while holding caps and another key results in a pretty unique key combo that I’ve never had clash with anything else.

Super handy.

> Then you have to run coax to your TV, through walls

You can also try under, over, or around the side of a door, or through a window, using a small section of flat coax like this [1].

An alternative I've considered is an Amazon Fire TV Recast [2]. That's an OTA DVR that physically connects to an antenna and power, and then can stream live or recorded content over your Wifi to an Amazon Fire TV Stick plugged into your TV.

With that you only need to get the antenna to wherever you put the Recast. If your antenna was on the roof, for example, you could place the Recast in your attic. Then you only need to go trough one wall or through an attic vent.

I've been wondering if a Recast could reasonably be powered by a battery and put in a waterproof box outside, so that (1) there would be no need to run the antenna wire into the house, and (2) you might not need to tie the antenna ground to the house ground (which can be a real pain if you want to follow code and the places where you can get good reception are nowhere near your house's grounding rod).

> So, the developer folks will make the switch first, as they realize it's much nicer to develop Julia packages in Julia than it is to develop Python packages in C.

Not so fast. You should also consider that writing the core in C/C++ allows some of those packages to offer bindings for several languages other than python (for example, both tensorflow and torch have bindings for Go, .NET, Rust, Haskell, R, Java, JavaScript).

This significantly expands the use-cases that these frameworks can cover without requiring a complete rewrite for every platform. For example, it is relatively easy to have data scientists train models with Python and deploy such models to mobile/edge devices and web apps.
Are you interested in standardization for its own sake or as a forcing function for exhaustive documentation?
It’s just marketing speak. If your tech product doesn’t use AI, machine learning or have an algorithm then it won’t look as bright and shiny to customers.

Forgive me, I meant "user". Thank you for the correction
Again, the purpose of marketing is to tempt people into spending money, usually as much money as possible to get them to spend. You can talk about over emotional people all you want, but for most people marketing does not a have a positive effect on their life whether they ‘resist’ overspending or not. It brings value to the marketers and marketed, the targeted are being targeted to get them to spend money, not for them to have benefit. You can define getting them to do what you want as their benefit but this is largely untrue.

Is making money immoral? Not in and of itself. Is marketers pretending they’re doing marketing for everyone to benefit immoral? We’ll its certainly lying, and mostly to enrich themselves, so I’d say yes.

Again, marketing as an industry is largely unnecessary and immoral except to get people to spend money on things they wouldn’t otherwise spend. We would all be better off with less marketing in our lives and in front of our eyes.

If you ‘market yourself’ to get a job, you still aren’t a professional marketer doing marketing all the time. It’s the difference between someone who cooks at home and someone who cooks in a restaurant - you’re not really talking about the same thing even though you can try to muddy the waters and pretend its the same thing.

I don’t care what companies should do or not do to let others know what they want them to know - it doesn’t change the negative influence of marketing on society and people in general, and it doesn’t make marketing a positive for anyone but those making money from it.

That the association of marketers defines marketing as something good for everyone is lying. It’s good for them and their customers. That’s it. Everyone else knows it’s a lie, they just fall for the psychological tricks the marketers have developed since advertising is everywhere.
