Again... You're focusing on games, which makes no sense, because there is little to no demand for web games.

But there is high demand for a lot of crazy shit flash could and couldn't do back then. And the tooling is nuts. Even just VSCode and the devtools are huge and blow the IDEs/tooling from the flash days out of the water, and those are just the most standard tools we have. Then you look at all the JS tooling... There's a ridiculous amount of manpower and huge companies behind lots of it, so yes, the tooling today is far better.

That you can't as easily make a game for the web as you could for flash is an asterisk. Nobody is asking for those nowadays.

Don't get me wrong, i much prefer the web as a platform to mobile app stores, but I'm aware of the reality.
When was that? It's been "coming soon" on Verizon's own FAQ[1] for almost half a decade now. I'm in one of the major MSAs along the eastern megalopolis, and there's no IPv6 here.

Care to elaborate why you think the AU and NZ governments should be voted out?

Given that the governments are very different from each other, I don't see much in the way of commonality there.
Just a relatively small number of pixels would be sufficient.

A secure hash function has the avalanche property that changing 1 bit in the input, has an independent 50% chance of flipping each bit in the output.

So you just need to ensure that you have enough entropy for your desired security level.

Anybody wanting to reconstruct what the camera is seeing would have to reconstruct it to the exact pixel values, including any noise. i.e. you would have to intercept the signal from the camera they are using, you couldn't just point another camera at the wall.

Thatsthepoint
I've done that journey.

At least for me, a major issue turned out to the abstractions (like wg-quick, ufw, network-manager, openwrt) which on one hand obscure the inner workings but at the same time are limited enough that at some point you will be forced to dig deeper. They also don't always play nicely together wrt routes, routing polices and *tables rules.

I wasted so much time (probably weeks, added together) in my younger days banging my head against the wall with Linux networking. Throwing out other high-level tools/frameworks and starting "from scratch" on CentOS/Rocky/Debian with only systemd-networkd and nftables has now made me mostly comfortable and I finally feel in control of the networking stack on my Linux boxes. I say "mostly" because, well, Docker and CNI...

Oh, and see my sibling comment.
I recently got to tour the Toshiba Science Museum where the replica is running.

One of the employees checks the clock "about five times a day" when he's working. He checks the accuracy of the western style clock and the humidity in the glass case in which the clock is housed.

I don't recall at what percent they keep the humidity, but they have packets hidden under the clock which release moisture and absorb moisture as needed from the air in the case.
> Facebook annotated the reports, appearing to downplay the results. Next to one slide in the research that said “teens who struggle with mental health say Instagram makes it worse,” the company added that the headline was imprecise. Instead, it wrote, “The headline should be clarified to be: ‘Teens who have lower life satisfaction more likely to say Instagram makes their mental health or the way they feel about themselves worse than teens who are satisfied with their lives.’”

I suppose "teens who are satisfied with their lives" exist, but I didn't know many as a teenager.

It doesn't really matter that there are exceptions where some areas are naturally more desirable because land isn't fungible. What matters is that there are available housing units approaching the limit of construction cost pricing so that people can have a place to live without being affected by luxuries like "wanting a lakefront home."
At the same time, if LN doesn't work then BTC is completely and utterly obsolete.

I like how you think you can infer the way the rest of the world should be just based on your local petrol prices.
one thing that I found works: religion. ask the engineer about to enter the arena what they would like to do with the money they hope to achieve, their end-goals, etc.

then follow-up with whether they would feel morally/spiritually at peace with their choices and methods after the fact (do your ends justify your means?)

in my experience, the people with the IQ to earn a yacht responsibly end up settling for a speedboat anyway.
The point you're talking about ROAS/incremental ROAS is quite moot actually. Every online ad tracks the user from the moment they click the ad to whatever events they make (e.g. add to cart, purchase, etc). So the measured ROAS is exactly for the users who'd come via the ad and not any others.

I don't want to be offending but this is honestly a very basic point, of course one would only measure the Return On Ad Spend from the user's acquired by said ad and not any others... Advertisers are familiar with all such basic statistics and Google/FB ads give you very easy tools to track any person who clicks on an ad throughout their entire journey.

Edit: I was mistaken as described in the comments below
The CDC estimated an overall 0.6% IFR for the US. The vast majority of those deaths are in the older age groups with serious co-morbid conditions such as obesity and diabetes. So the IFR for younger age groups is significantly lower than 0.2%.

Ask HN: Recommend Reading on Classes vs. Functions
I'm struggling to draw a clear line in my head on when to use classes vs pure functions. I get the positives of having your functionality grouped and together in the class-based approach, but in recent projects I've been really burned by painful inheritance/mixins problems. So now I'm questioning if I should have gone pure functions all the way.

Could someone recommend some good articles / books / tutorials that touch on this topic?
That certain leader is the one who sent them downhill: Chavism was a recipe for disaster from the start. It’s only because the price of oil was so high in 2000-2008 that the rot wasn’t immediately apparent.

Chavez is the one who replaced competent leaders with army cronies. Chavez is the one who demolished democracy
Yeah I couldn’t figure out why my US deliveries were failing to show up until I checked my junk mail and noticed messages saying all my orders had been cancelled (from multiple online stores) and I had to contact each one separately to arrange refunds.

Online shopping is a clusterfuck lately of no stock and shipping issues, and unrelated-but-relevant, Gmails spam filtering lately is atrocious.
Glad the author gave a shout-out to the positive experience that is an undergraduate degree in the humanities (I did that myself), but I would add a word of caution along with his others:

Literature departments are maintaining themselves on "Creative Writing" programs aimed at every Harry Potter and YA fiction fan in the world. As such, a lot of unwitting kids think they can go to a trade school in how to be a literary millionaire/billionaire.

That is not the case, and an undergrad writing program won't do anything other than cause you to miss what might make you a good writer, namely all of those other humanities classes that people who think they're in a writing vocational program don't care about. You know... the Shakespeare courses, the PHIL courses, the culture-specific courses, the weirdo Psych courses about Freud, the criticism courses, etc.
Not a fun situation to be in. We (Zimbabwe) took off something like 25 zeroes (3, 12 then 10). Dollarization was the only sensible option for anyone wanting to buy things with a currency that didn't devalue daily. Unfortunately a 2-currency system like this is ripe for exploitation, especially once the government starts trying to manipulate exchange rates.
Thanks for that article.
Not all smart people want money and prestige. Of course, in Silicon Valley, a lot of people assume that if you have money and a network, you must be smart.

When I first arrived in the Valley, a colleague told me:

> One of the reasons so many people stay here and put up with all of the BS is that somewhere along the line, you'll work with somebody incompetent or even stupid and years later, you'll see that they're very, very successful. Which will lead you to believe if somebody that stupid can become that rich, anybody can get rich here if they stick with the game long enough.
In the example of a debt in your name, bank was defrauded by someone fooling their staff or computer systems—why should their broken security victimize you?

Identity theft implies something was stolen from you. In fact, that something (your very identity) is unalienable—whatever you do, you are as you as you ever were. The contrary is an oxymoron.

I lived through the same extreme inflation in Yugoslavia in the 80s. It was very bad. Good luck to people in Venezuela :( Yet, I cannot ignore the fact that both Yugoslavia and Venezuela, otherwise very different countries, had the same political/economic system that lead to the inflation.
The cost of living here is very high. Goods, especially electronics, cost a lot more than the USA. Electronics costing 50% more here than in the USA is common.

I disagree with the comment left by lostlogin, I have found most products on Amazon ship to New Zealand, including products sold by third parties, though I would agree fewer independent stores are shipping to New Zealand. I think this is partly due to prices increases from the likes of Fedex and USPS.

Amazon Australia ships to NZ but the product selection is very poor.

The query string method will not provide stats for the above point; but the newer methods e.g. using the FB pixel that tracks users based on the user's email/userid you create can accomplish much of that (only offline conversions are difficult, but there are still modern ways to match an offline customer with their past ad exposure e.g. if you get their email/phone on purchase...)

Italy rolled out a public nationwide DECT network for Italia 90 (world soccer championships), it was called FIDO: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fido_DECT

The idea was that you could bring along the same handset you used at home, and calls would follow you, at no extra price. They built microcell antennas on top of existing telephone booths, but only in Milan and Rome (as a start).

It had many disadvantages compared to GSM, because coverage was limited to areas with those microcells available, and also it would not work if you were moving at more than 40 km/h. GSM was rolled out in the same period, but it was way better, and it totally won. So FIDO was shut down in 2000, never having actually been a success.
I recall watching a YouTube video maybe 10 years ago where a professor's lecture thesis I remember as "sugar is poison". Low carb/keto has been increasingly popular since then, so maybe we'll see where this takes us.
You don't even have to swap to water. Sugar free drinks are extremely good replacements for full sugar drinks.
This article, per usual, is creating a completely false narrative. Just by opposing a particular bill that is ostensibly aimed at controlling the climate does not mean you are opposed to all actions aligned with that bills outward goals.

> the first who blames it on the victim better never know how much they are wrong

Mocking the situation helps nobody. But Venezuelans had fair and free elections not that long ago. The precursors to these policies were wilfully elected into office by the populace. That confers at least some responsibility; more than in the cases of kings, colonisers, invaders or revolutionaries.
Before blaming them, we should ask why they are against it.

“provide payments to prop up carbon-free nuclear energy”

I would be also against a bill that includes this.
Six zeros removed from nothing is still nothing.

Last few orders I made was something like 8.99 for some random shoebox size of items (worth maybe 50-100 usd). So basically far from expensive. NZ local shipping is probably half that price.
Not just that, but the article doesn't even mention until halfway in that this bill is a 3.5TN budget bill, very much full of other non-climate proposals. Most people will read and comment on the title.
Is there a control to prove it was advertising? They bought a lot of brands and there isn’t evidence that online marketing was the reason.
What's your broader economic framework for this analysis? From your comment history georgist/LVT adjacent. But the responses seem very well connected and elaborate beyond that with which I'm familiar with. On top of a name for the system, what books/wikipedia pages/journal articles would be available to read about it?
According to modern monetary theory, money is just a means for the government to incentivize behavior.

The government prints as much of it as it wants, and:

1: Gives it to people who need it (Say to pay rent for their shop so the shop does not go out of business).

2: Takes it from rich people who otherwise would just sit on their ass and let others work for them.

Why does this system of subventions and taxes not work in Venezuela? Why is inflation a problem when money is just a number. Why does it matter how many zeros a price has?
It's good to know there's actually some hardware on which apt is not dog-slow.
> And it’s not as if anyone is clicking Google search ads for Coca-Cola and ordering a 6-pack right there. This is the same problem that these companies have with TV advertising.

Supermarkets already have a loyalty card program where you receive a small discount and in return you agree to receive targeted advertising based on your purchases.

Why don't these loyalty programs add a clause saying that they may also share your personal information with Google? That would mean Coca-Cola or Proctor and Gamble could see how much they spent on advertising to a particular person, and how much that person spent in buying the company's products.

Edited for harsh tone.

The TDP is a non-standardized marketing term. You know what is fairly standardized? Watts.

Please Read The TDP is not the wattage consumed during peak load when these chips — or the constituent cores I should say — actually hit these single or multithreaded benchmarks. It’s merely a “hey this is roughly what this chip will consume at the base clock rate or the system is capable of dissipating with said chip after turbo boosting” and even then with cTDP of recent years it’s not invariably worth that much.

It’s not even funny how far ahead Apple & ARM reference cores on high-density/low-power libraries are in this regard.

The question posed: Do you still want mail?

I responded no. You come back with some out of scope non-sense about thinking outside of me. That's not the question.

If the question was "should the mail system be abolished", we can have the discussion you want, but maybe you should ask that question. The original question as actually posted followed with "yes we still need them".
> First, let us dispense with the first lie you will hear: ‘this doctoral program is a five year program.’ What that actually means is that the program has five years of ‘guaranteed’ funding. I am sure that somewhere there is a student who went from having a BA to a PhD in five years. I have not yet met them.

I guess engineering must be a lot easier. I started my PhD program with only a BA from a different field and finished in 5 years. That by no means made me an outlier.

You should investigate. At least $1.21/gal of that is going to the government. State/Federal gas tax + sales tax + regulatory fees and other regulatory fees. Also California mandates specific formulations which adds to the costs compared to other locations, and add to that the general increased cost of any operations in the state, including higher wages. That extra cost you pay is not going to the ones pulling crude out of the ground. Not saying that Venezuela isn't mismanaging its natural resource revenue, but your high prices are not a contradiction of the fact that their revenue is impacted by an historically low crude price.
People always think Canada has only one international border: with the US. But in reality, Saint Pierre et Miquelon is so close to Newfoundland that there is no international water between them. So in addition to our land and maritime borders with the US, we have a maritime border with France. Also one with Greenland (Denmark), but that's too arctic for anyone to care about.
Yep, there is no blame to go around, this entire situation is no different than a tragedy like a natural disaster... Or maybe the rest of us can learn something about socialism from this.
Ask HN: How can we better communicate nuance?
I have a friend that talks to me all day but usually over exaggerates and doesn’t always reveal stuff in a clear way. I often find corporate communications to be the same way. What can we as an industry do to better communicate nuances?

For example if Facebook could have better communicated the nuance dangers of getting addicted to Instagram the world would have been a safer place for teens.

You think CEOs really discuss here? It's used as a tool to gather information and marketing, besides, successful CEOs and mass murderers are cut from the same cloth.

I would go far as to say on uncensored platforms one sees the true nature of humans not bound by society and that's eye opening for the one who's fast asleep.

Better to be informed of reality than sweep under the rug and creating a faketopia where one is required to choose words carefully that the powers that be agree with, history tells us what that path that leads to.

> When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.
I’m constantly baffled by what functional programmers call “simple”. I’m sure this language does a lot with little but calling it simple is audacious to say the least. Why do so many things happen in a single line? Lack of imperative constructs in these languages forces one to nest a lot to be expressive and we get a symbol salad. It’s almost as if the code got passed through a minifier/function inliner.

Unless FP embraces more modular and structured ways of programming it’ll always remain a niche. OCaml’s ‘let’ and Haskell’s ‘where’ are steps in the right direction but we need to go a lot farther. To think that any human, with any amount of training, can parse such code in one pass is a fantasy. Since parsing is part of the coding loop, developer productivity is compromised massively.

Mathematics has a similar problem where single letter variable names with tiny letters on all 4 corners are ubiquitously used. There’s definitely a tendency in the community to play “symbol” golf. It’s high time we improve ergonomics of both math and FP because the rewards can be tremendous. Rust manages to do some of this to great success and programmers have embraced it so well.

'Provide mail' can mean different things and its certainly not ever 'place'. It is very common in mountain towns to not have mailboxes at least not residential so you have to go to a post office 5-15 miles away. Meanwhile Fedex & UPS will deliver to your door.

That said the USPS is certainly an essential service and probably does serve certain niche locations better than UPS & Fedex.
> they issue a lot of debt in USD

Nobody wants bolivar-denominated debt. Because Caracas keep printing. The U.S. dollar has no divine right to being infinitely valuable.
