I’m using an iPhone X still, and looking to upgrade soon. But I don’t think ground breaking improvements are necessary every new model.

My previous phone prior to this one was an iPhone 7 Plus. And before that I had a dumb phone paired with an iPod touch. Prior to that some random Android phone.
Imagine what they would do with a good AI.

Anyway, a recent anekdot from Russian democracy illustrating why the ruling power is so obstructing oppositional candidates. A mayor of small town to make elections legally democratic, ie to have at least 2 candidates while of course not allowing any real oppositional candidates, ran his office janitor woman against himself. The people voted for the janitor.
PragerU is the one funding advertisements with wild, baseless, and often scientifically dishonest "research". I don't recall traditional universities doing this. They firmly market themselves as "conservative intellectuals", telling you the "real truth" liberals won't recognize. I'd call that propaganda by definition.
El Salvador already does not control its own currency; it has been using USD since 2001. Adding BTC doesn't change anything in that regard.

BTW Panama has been on USD since 1903.
Reasonable people are assumed to know that the obligation of a service provider to obey the law of its jurisdiction has a higher legal priority than their obligation to oby contract terms with customers.

#2 likely fails because the statement was at worst ambiguous or incomplete, not false. The statement that they do not keep logs by default combined with what reasonable people are expected to know as mentioned above should have led a reasonable person to see through the ambiguousness.

And if not PM went in to more detail in the TOS. Yes, it is well known that most people don't read the TOS. Heck, I often do not read the TOS.

But when you are using a service as part of some criminal endeavor or for something for which there is a reasonable chance will be mistaken for a criminal endeavor you really do need to read the TOS. To not do so is unreasonable.

#3 probably fails because there is likely no way to prove intent to deceive.

#4 likely runs into problems similar to those of #2. A reasonable person using a service for furthering some illegal activity would be expected to put some care into checking out the service to see if it is safe for such activity, and in doing so should have discovered that PM is not safe against Swiss law enforcement obtaining some meta data.
I think rumors are this will be mostly about phones and the new Macs will be end of the year. However I wouldn’t mind if those were wrong - I need a new work laptop and would like to see an option of a 16“ M1X
Claiming survivorship bias really makes it sound like we are talking about something much riskier than getting a college degree. I didn't survive, I planned. I got a two year degree from a local community college for a fraction of the price that those same credit hours would have cost at a university. I then went on to a modest in-state University to complete my four year degree. I can't put a sexy Ivy League college, or private college, or even a top-tier state university on my resume now but I didn't graduate with crippling debt. That was the trade off I made.

Starting your professional career in debt is nobody's definition of "crippling debt". Whether 39k is too much student loan debt really depends on what the expected future earning potential is for a given degree. A quick search turns up plenty of resources that can help somebody make decisions about how much student loan debt they can comfortably or safely take on. Here is a teacher's guide[1] (it's a PDF link) from the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau one could use as a starting point.

> 4. Then I picked an experimental, developing compiler "Cleavir" written by Robert Strandh and bootstrap that with my Common Lisp compiler.

I was wondering if this was some new twist on clasp that I was unaware of - but then discovered that I know that project as SICL (not cleavir).

Since you had a primitive cl compiler (from 2) - 4 added a runtime/advanced cl compiler?

Veritasium is not political? He is, very. It’s just that you don’t see it. It’s not an accusation, just a reminder that the background noise is non-neutral, and he doesn’t contrast very much on your background ;)
"One phone and four non phone devices"

Sounds like some entity whose core is data analysis forced an arbitrary tech constraint that limits data acquisition. Have seen that when business people took over and nothing would risk their pptx assumptions.

I have two phones but now fb has my usage patterns from only one device, a sane business decision. Alternatively they might believe that they can force me to quit one of my devices?

We used to have a better word for companies doing things like the Amazon Marketplace: eCommerce. But now that AWS is most of their business, they're "tech" because cloud infrastructure is a computing technology they directly sell.
Incredibly, neither Treccani [1] nor Wiktionary mention that meaning even for the Latin word. [2]

However there's a page on Wikipedia in English [3] and Italian [4] and also Treccani mentions this meaning in Plagiare’s thesaurus [5] only.

If feels like it's meant as "to enslave", either physically or mentally.

Choosing a "good enough for the medium term with minimal effort now" is a winner in my book, even if it's likely to be rewritten in the long term.
Dan Rather's side of the story:

CBS appointed a panel led by Republican Dick Thornburgh, former governor of Pennsylvania and United States Attorney General under George H. W. Bush, and Louis Boccardi, retired president and chief executive officer and former executive editor of the Associated Press. Released in January 5, 2005, their report concluded that CBS rushed to make inadequately verified allegations public and it was slow in responding to criticism. The panel, however, was unable to conclude whether the documents were forgeries or not, nor did it conclude that a political agenda at 60 Minutes Wednesday drove either the timing of the airing of the segment or its content. Like the story itself, the report and its conclusions were divisive....

Rather has stood by the story. In a 2007 interview with Larry King, Rather argued that the review panel was “a set-up,” and pointed to the fact that “nobody to this day has proved these documents were fraudulent. . . . The story was true.” The journalist also talked about the story in his 2012 memoir, Rather Outspoken: My Life in the News, and claimed that internal CBS documents that came to light during his lawsuit show how Viacom lobbyist Carol Melton, under pressure from GOP House Majority Whip Roy Blunt, urged Heyward to retract the Bush/TexANG story. In Rather's words, Melton "made it clear that Blunt was speaking for an even more powerful constituency—the White House.” Rather was especially critical of Leslie Moonves, who was then chairman and CEO of CBS, explaining that CBS should not have retracted the story "but that was the way that Blunt and the White House wanted it, and Moonves chose to oblige." His 2012 memoir led a new wave of articles that revisited the 60 Minutes II piece. Most of them, like the extensive Texas Monthly article in 2012, concluded that the story was and remained far more complex than expected.

Note that Rather's "controversies" page shows he has been attacked by conservatives and the GOP since the Nixon administration in 1972. It's also quite candid on the controversies with which he's been involved. I'd be interested in similar personally-hosted pages from other persuasions.

Moreover, the question was "When was the last time that a CEO got canceled" by the right. I think I've demonstrated and documented that that particular practice is in fact very well established.

I assume you mean "validated" and not "compliant" -- the distinction is important. Yes, it will be 140-2 validated. It's being submitted for testing before end of month to make the 140-2 cutoff. (September is the last month for 140-2 submissions. After September, all new FIPS submissions must be for 140-3 validation.)

It's fair to assume it will take about 12-18 months from submission to certificate issuance.
It appears that Maxim Bernier from the Rhinoceros party hasn't registered to run in this year's election. I wonder if they've been blocked from doing so?
Whether there is a name change involved, the result is the same, to siphon off votes. That's the main thrust of the story in Russia and FL. I'd say very similar not very different.
>They have anxiety about their heart rate and possibly dying, and their friend OP keeps insisting that they just need to "calm down and be cool" because this is "all in your head." That's what ignorant friends are for :-)

999 times of a thousand (likely much more) this is the correct response. As you acknowledged there's a feedback loop and external reasons to justify it are likely to increase your HR even further. Given that it increases anxiety and paranoia the times when people have a real problem are going to be extrme rarer compared to the amount of times they are just causing themselves extra anxiety by freaking out.

Also 150 is still not really an issue. Anxiety can cause that and it can safely drop after calming down.
I don't know if I'd say "very different" — they have the same goal but with different steps.
The blockchain gets us a decentralized marketplace for decentralized storage providers. Anyone can join as a provider and get paid, and the blockchain can act as a decentralized escrow that holds the payment until proof is provided that the storage contract was properly fulfilled.

98% of our technology is off-chain. Only a little tiny sliver (the file contract open and close) is actually posted to the blockchain.
Perl is very must still used. lol
>> Perl is a very complex language, and is not used anymore, so you're just spending your time on something you'll rarely use.

Perl is no more complex than Python, Ruby, or Powershell. If you use any of those you can be productive with Perl in a few hours.

Perl is still used, it is just not as popular as it was in the past. Do you use Git? Parts of it are written in perl. Large parts of Git were originally written in Perl, but have been migrated to C over time.
I've been reading HN daily for over a decade and what's been tempting me to quit lately is the realization of just how stagnant discussion is around here. Privacy dead-enders, soliloquies for the "dream of the open internet", Google cancelling projects, ad blocking, piracy, the "spirit of free speech"... i'm sick of it! It's a nasty combination of smug and boring.

One of the things that I've come to appreciate about Twitter is the prominence of the person associated with each tweet. On HN (and reddit) everyone is an amorphous grey blob. On Twitter at least I can find and follow interesting people, and mute/block people that are uninteresting or obnoxious.

El Salvador might be ahead of the curve here on learning to deal with (a lack of) control over their monetary policy in this situation because prior to the addition of this second legal tender the country was already fully dollarized[1]. They switched from the Salvadoran colón to the US Dollar in 2001[2].

My first job getting paid to program was in awk. Processing log files.

In the middle of that job, my supervsior, you know what, we're doing increasingly complicated things with awk and it's getting increasingly hacky... I've heard that Perl is like awk but better, do you want to learn Perl and switch to that?

And so we did. My thought then was there was little that was easier in awk than Perl, you could use Perl very much like awk if you wanted, you can even use the right command-line args to have Perl have an "implied loop" like awk... but then you can do a lot more with Perl too.

I don't use Perl anymore. Or awk.
No it's not. 80%+ of the country where I live have access to symmetric gigabit fiber.
Oh, wasn’t aware of that.
Ah yes, you can fire the employee at any time without severance, but how dare we not give two weeks notice, or be more understanding about why the owners schedule late and pay next to nothing, and treat us like disposable trash (spoiler alert- its profit).
I'm guessing I'll be waiting until next year, but I'm hoping that they'll announce a new 16" MBP that runs on an M1 successor. As nice as portability is, I love the screen space of 15-16" laptops.
Just for clarification: I meant S-expressions for the language in the book (by changing the proposed syntax) so I can dramatically simplify the lexer.

But using s-expressions for regular expression DSL is a given, since I would do it in macros. The resources you linked seem fantastic, thank you!
I wish someone made a similarly small Android phone. iOS is a no-go for me because I prefer to own my devices. Also, headphone jacks are nice.

Surely that isn't a weakness of a simple tool?

A 5 min job that probably won't get extended saving you from having to spend 20 mins coding something up is better than, feeling annoyed that you have spent the 20 mins coding up the original implementation and then extend it.

Hopefully, you also get the benefit of additional knowledge on that future implementation as well. Why wouldn't this just be a net win?

Unless you're talking about writing hack after hack after hack, eventually leaving yourself with some incomprehensible eldritch monstrosity, in which case, don't do that?
If you want to brand, print Maxwell's Equations on the card. Or put a simple amplifier circuit on it.

P.S. Maxwell's Equations on a t-shirt are popular, I even sold one for a while.
sorry if I'm being dense but what's the hotkey to get it into "floaty" mode? That looks super useful.
I really, really, really hope this becomes illegal.

In one of the FL cases, reporters went to the house of the "other" one and he literally couldn't say why he was on the ballot. That is my recollection of the story I read at the time.
I come from a third world country where to graduate high school, you HAVE to take Calculus I, II and little III. Planar Geometry, linear algebra etc. And thats only if you through the Life Sciences track (Biology and Organic Chemistry)

I truly don’t believe my people are genetically smarter because we have a truly awful abysmal track history in governing.

My guess as an immigrant who went to community college here and then to University here is that students just have too much choices/freedom. They are told they should strive to whatever they want. I and my friends grew up told you need to choose a major that will bring bread on the table, that should be the only priority.
But that assumes that someone notices the swap -- when I was new at a former last job, I asked why the drive activity light was always on on the server marked "finance". The answer was "Who knows!? That's some special software that finance uses, when it gets slow they tell us and we reboot it". It had been like that for more than a year.

Turns out that the app grew huge over time and the machine would swap like crazy and would eventually slow to a crawl. The machine was already maxed out on RAM, so we added a service to restart the app twice a week. Finance said it took hours off their month-end work, they thought the app was just slow.
Has anyone been able to find a free site that works in achieving the same goal?

El Salvador (and Panama) already use USD as a currency. Which other currency do you have in mind?
It is not the first time this company finds itself in the center of an international scandal.

It has proven multiple times that privacy and security are not something they really care about.

I wonder what else should happen for everyone to completely lose trust in this scam.
My guess is that this will dramatically drop the value of Bitcoin, as has happened many times before when a government tries to introduce a new currency.

Scenario: I want to send my mom $1,000. That would cost me $200 with a remittance, but it's only $20 with Bitcoin. Success! I send her the $9980. Now my mom has $9980 equivalent in Bitcoin. So she goes to the store. The local grocery store has to accept Bitcoin, so she buys up stuff. Success!

Suddenly the grocery store needs to pay its bills. It pays its suppliers in Bitcoin. Success!

The suppliers' suppliers, who are importing many of these goods from abroad, say FUCK NO and don't accept Bitcoin, they need hard cash. Or perhaps the farmers who grow the crops need to purchase fertilizer from abroad, same story. Okay, the suppliers need to convert their Bitcoin to dollars, piece of cake, right? Suddenly there's a problem: Bitcoin is converted to dollars only when dollars are going to be sent out of the country, and suddenly all of those Bitcoin transactions need to be backed up by USD. USD which never flowed into the country in the first place, because I sent BTC and not USD. Suddenly USD is much more scarce than BTC. That sinks the exchange rate.
My mistake, I should have not said security holes. It's leaking and collecting private information. Did you look into the Android Manifest for the virus tweet link?
Merci beaucoup for correcting my mistake.
I had my MI at age 43. Other than _smoking_ weed (via a bong) daily I was in good shape with regular exercise, etc. (5+ miles hiking in hills every day with my dog, at the bare minimum). After 3 stents I became much more conscientious about all my intakes and activities. I reduced my weed consumption, but began to notice that I would get angina pain about 20 minutes after smoking. Not after hiking or biking, or any physical activity, but almost always after smoking. At first I wondered if it was coincidence, so I reduced smoking further. But that served to further confirm it -- I would get angina pain only after smoking, and practically every time.

So bye-bye to the bong and smoking. I quit altogether, made tinctures (which I grew to like), and edibles for a while, but then tried a vaporizor (this was 2006). In hindsight, the idea of smoking is now unthinkable to me. I have felt no cardiac symptoms at all since vaping instead. YMMV.
> serving several thousand VODs and that problem is solved

You're kidding right? You think this problem is solved? Try using HBO.

A tech company is any company that understands it can leverage technology effectively to run a more efficient organization. They treat tech as the way to solve problems rather than throwing people at the problem.
this is how slashdot works (worked?). I never thought it worked that well, it's hard to get people to give you meaningful signal when the choices are so complex
If I understand this correctly, it will gzip every line separately instead of gzipping them together... it's not really the most effective but it does work

Did this guy lose the company a measurable amount of money?

Given that this law is like a week old and how little attention customers pay to CEO twitter, I'm almost certain that's a no.

The more relaxed gender roles a society has, the more men aspire to be musicians, philosophers, comedians, sports journalists, filmmakers, poets, or motivational speakers instead of studying for a useful STEM career.
I'm not sure it's easy to discuss the high school transcripts of people with university posts. How did you get in touch with this information?

The gains become clear depending on the degree to which you know what you want, and especially if you're thinking about graduate programs.

1. Calculus in some sense is somewhat disorganized, and it sucks that it's a gateway to more math in the US. By finishing Calculus early you can move on to the math you wanted to learn, such as Linear Algebra.

2. University students may have to spend about a year learning Calculus. That's a long time, and to some people they'd rather spend their money better by learning something else or graduating early.

3. If you're thinking about graduate studies in something technical such as Econ or Stats, then you'll probably want at least Analysis. The problem is that in the grand scheme of things, even Analysis does not leave you very prepared to do things, it just makes you prepared to learn more, so you may want to get ahead of this problem.
If a company is incapable of competing, could that mean that whoever is in charge of it is incompetent and must be replaced so that the company can compete again?

When Firefox was dominant, Chrome came from nothing, competed and then dethroned Mozilla. If Mozilla is this incapable, they either have to change people at the top and make better decisions, or just die and stop pretending and selling lies to its users.

why do you weirdo conservatives always talk like Ducktale villains?

Anyway, I thought Candace Owens comments on nationalist socialism were just straight up insane, also their series defending creationism is completely hilarious.
Yes. Anyone who claims that they will gladly keep drinking coffee despite serious health risks because it preserves their sanity is either making a joke or should probably consider therapy.
Could you clarify? I subscribe to HBO Max and it works fine.
I think it's also because many of us have seen extreme exaggerations on the dangers of cannabis that turned out to be wrong. It definitely take me years of using it to acknowledge the (lesser) negative effects after seeing how much of the negative things I was told about it as a kid were fake.
Could someone explain me the intuition behind the BTC drop? Why changing the owners of a small fraction of an asset that is not affected by any policy should reflect this? Is it just the feeling from some investors that BTC can not be taken seriously?

It is hard for me to understand the logic of it and the only reason that could come to my mind is that some investors don't understand what they are buying.
Yeah. I'm not trying to die of cancer or have reduced mental capacity. I want these studies.

I know from my own anecdotal experience that d9 (reg THC) gives me incredible anxiety but d8 does not. My mental health is better than it was before I had access to it. I don't want to be a guinea pig, but we've been hearing fear, fear, fear for the last six decades.
I have to say I'm glad this is being talked about in a public forum. Outsiders rarely get to see brainstorming, troubleshooting & group discussion of technological issues like this.

Someone who is focused on the performance aspect & someone who is focused on stack stability discussing the real world input & output of a business system and showing why performance & UX are not the only metrics that matter is a good thing for us to see.
Is there gonna be one? I hope.
