The so what is dominance gets eroded at the margins. It’s not the 99% who matter it’s all about what a tiny majority who actually care do everyone that really wants to talk to them will install the app that lets them. Then those people are suddenly spending time on another platform and it snowballs.

What’s really interesting is you essentially need isolation to get a steady state dominance by any one platform, but nobody is actually isolated any more. New platforms win not by slowly growing 5 or 10% a year but by crazy exponential curves where 30% more people install in a single month.

Having said that I don’t mean to suggest WhatsApp is going to die in Brazil tomorrow. Their currently is no real need to move right now.
>I wouldn’t go far as to say Von Neumann was smarter than Grothendieck

He famously recounted his inability to derive Heron's formula for the area of a triangle when he was a teenager (despite realizing that such a formula ought to exist via conceptual reasoning), and seems to have subsequently kept an unbalanced set of talents in the same vein.
I don't get it, is the person advocating against using Autopilot then? What do they want Tesla do actually do? You can't have it both ways - can't pin it on Autopilot for making you less attentive and then continue using it only to point the finger when it doesn't compensate for lack of attention.
Honestly, some people legit scare me when they're talking about ARM/RISC-V. They usually have very little relevant knowledge/experience in the field (some don't even know what an ISA really is) yet worship these architectures like they're the second coming of Jesus.
It really is easy to brainwash people en-masse.
No!? You're supposed to not swerve, but you sure as shit are supposed to brake! If you can't safetly slam on the brakes because somebody was tailgating you or because the road surface is too slippery, then you already fucked up before the deer appeared!

Stoping to work a full time job and buying only organic produce are kinda mutually exclusive.
Unless the internet will be fractured into 'google's net', 'Apple space', 'TikTok realm', 'Microsoft fief'. If you think that this will never ever happen, think again. Not so long ago some SaaS internet offerings worked only on one operating system and on one infamous browser.

I wish PICO-8 was free (libre) software.
Arresting yes, but approaching and stopping IF necessary (and that mean justifying it in the report) the public should be OK.

In the first world countries, we need classes to learn how to deal with state force/judicial power. I usually read a lot about "teach economics to poor famillies", but we would be better served if we understood the law and our right before 30.
Looking at the orange base-coat in the video, I'd suggest it saves money versus hand-painted custom paint jobs but as every surface of the car (inside doors) are orange, I'd say that was applied by the traditional robot painters (with HVLP guns).
Yes, but the meaning in the HN title is obviously the correct one. The concern here is not about a fake officer. It is about a real one. Why do you think that the quotes are justified?
What I notice is they did an outline at a slower and likely higher accuracy mode then came back and filled at a higher speed.
What dma channels doesn't require mapping registers into the user space process to work? There aren't usually magic instructions you have to opt into disabling as far as I know.
The comment above is talking about ARM's business model, which Intel on Itanic definitely didn't have, Sun didn't have for SPARC (they later freed it, after it was no longer commercially relevant), and MIPS as a company didn't follow, either.
> Then HR enters into the mode of protecting the company by ensuring they don't get in trouble for violating the law.

A common complaint is that these sort of massive companies violate all sorts of laws and get by because the fines they receive are relatively tiny to the companies revenue and the infraction.

So why would they worry much about this? Is employment law treated differently or punished more harshly when companies violate it?

> Issues with Trump aside, this lawsuit can be a great thing. Having a judge declare that Twitter, and other social media are public space and have to follow US free speech laws instead of their own vague "Terms and Conditions" would be a huge improvement.

No, that would be hell. Literal spam is speech, too. Do you really want anti-spam technologies to be illegal?
Lol you were taught to drive right into deer? I wonder what the Yelp reviews are for that driving school.
Edit 2: I looked at the images and read the other comments and realized the poster had a fanciful theory about Namecheap using Godaddy as a proxy to steal the domain name he searched for the previous day. This discussion should probably be closed.

----

There was an article not too long ago where someone else claimed this (it was with a .quest domain name) and someone from namecheap categorically denied it.

FWIW, I have also checked domains on namecheap and have not had them squatted.

I'm cynical enough however to believe they could start doing this.

Edit: see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26327939 for the earlier discussion

And here is a the (putative) response from namecheap on reddit at the time, linked in the HN discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/lwgrkz/comment/gpjp...
not sure why this comment is dead... it's a fair point
When the US invaded Afghanistan in the Taliban was defeated within about 6 weeks. US deterrence very much remained in place until it began to withdraw.

Winning against a force like the Taliban requires you to be able to operate with much looser ROEs than the US as well as operate against their enabled in the region and outside of it which the US was unable and or unwilling to do.

The Taliban was formed in Pakistan and it drew many of its fighters from there it was true in the late 80’s and it’s true today.

Winning a war and sustaining occupation are also completely different things, and most importantly this is about a peer or near peer enemy.

An occupation that is actually being opposed can only be won by extermination or expulsion whilst wars are won by making it too costly to continue fighting and allowing for or forcing a surrender.
Does that 70% figure come from someone modeling out her portfolio based on the filings? I'd love to see it if it's public. Just as a gut reflex that seems high even with someone who had the amount of inside info she has, but not saying it's impossible.
Decay can sequester carbon in the right ecosystem and physical geography. Western Europe has its topsoils thanks to centuries of wild mature forest.
And when activists are scientists?

Or what about when activists just pay attention to, read and understand science?

That, in general, seems to be something rather common - emergent science is often what motivates activists, especially regarding safety.

Actually, much science itself could be considered an ongoing process of a kind of "activism".

As a sibling suggested, if something plausible and potentially harmful hasn't been studied enough to rule it out; study it.
> individually the chemicals are fine, maybe they aren't in combination

I'm sure I've heard colleagues (more on the 'ag' side of the 'agtech' company) mention that, things that can't be used in combination, but I can't see where it would be listed (or find an example where it is) in the pesticides register: https://secure.pesticides.gov.uk/pestreg/prodsearch.asp

I'll ask next week if I remember, curious now, since it seems fairly obvious? Just like you can buy all sorts of safe household & garden chemicals for cleaning etc. but which if you know what you're doing (I don't) and want to (I certainly don't) can be used to construct very not-safe things.

You could probably add cloudflare workers as an option. There's an example CORS friendly proxy here: https://github.com/Zibri/cloudflare-cors-anywhere

Guessing normal use would fit in their free plan.
I got the same impression, although just from a few scenes. It's impressively bad that the Newton was a "clone" of General Magic yet it shipped years earlier.
Yet another example of how the speculative bubble of crypto is mostly a scam at this point. Just imagine a bug that granted far more than was granted here. How many of us write software that has occasional bugs? Do you really want to trust your net worth that a software bug won't blow you out of the water?
Thank you for putting it in terms us programmers understand, now we see the problem clearly.
Now to show them politicians how we have already solved this problem.
There was too much engineering work put in to make the M1 be still secure by default while allowing you to run other OSes. If Apple wanted to make it so you could only run signed kernels then the best time to make that breaking change would’ve been when the first Apple Silicon macs were released, not three or four years down the road when suddenly they say “throw away that bespoke firmware and all that special security work we did, just load the iPhone bits on there”.
Plenty of older diesel road vehicles like Land Cruisers run 48V for everything. They've been that way since the 80s (maybe 70s).

Note: These were never sold in the North American Market, but they're extremely common in Australia, South Africa, etc.

I never cared about what that website had to say that much in the first place. If the entire web gets killed because of this, I'll go read a book.
The car would have had time to come to a stop if it had started breaking when the deer became visible. That said the collision only became inevitable when the deer dashed forward in the last second (literally the last second of its life).

The car could have reacted better and likely prevented the hit, but if a human had been the only driver nobody would have even suggested that the driver was at fault.
A trustless model in which the tower can provide a connection, know the relevant endpoint location on the tower hardware only, and prevent any access to that data except to law enforcement with a valid warrant. Providers don't need location data. Put in place lethal penalties for violating data privacy - if a company is caught harvesting data outside legal limits, they get fined into oblivion, and the money is split between victims and enforcement.

Being a service provider shouldn't mean an unlimited license to spy on your customers. Being a big corporation shouldn't mean you get to ignore the rules applied to individuals.

We need better laws, and we need to exclude megacorps and megamoney from the legislative process.
It is irresponsible for Tesla to market something as "autopilot" when it definitely isn't that. Telsa is the one trying to have it both ways (selling something by giving the impression that it offers full "autopilot" performance, then passing the buck back to the driver when anything goes wrong).
Yeah, Palm didn't force people to pay for ridiculously expensive wireless hardware/service and they didn't try to invent their own alternative to the Internet.
Assets matter, but are any other physical assets going up the same way?
But why do the Romani get an entire subclass, when Africa – ALL of Africa, is also just one subclass?
The decoder is wider than it seems but isn't the throughput lower for those instructions anyway? i.e. different decoders for different instructions complexities.

The designs M1 is competing with all have L0s, surely? I guess it could be masked off for a low power design but I would've thought not.

Either way, it's old and ugly, I don't miss it at all even if ARM and friends peripheral story probably isn't as good.
It didn't even see it. So also no night vision too? I thought this software had object detection even on autopilot.

Sounds like a very dangerous robo-taxi if that was going to be released as "Level 5" for 2020.
Cars have this handy peddle on the floor that lets you slow down the car without power-sliding it. You should give that a try.
There is TIC-80[0] and PixelVision8[1] (interesting license) but I agree. It would be awesome for PICO-8 to be free (libre) software.

I'm more than willing to believe there's insider trading, but the data presented at the beginning is not convincing.

> Of the 496 trades [Filler has] made since 2014 in Alabama’s ServisFirst Bancshares Inc., where he sits on the board of directors, and Century Bancorp Inc. of Massachusetts, where he’s the largest shareholder, 372 of them, or 75%, have shown a profit three months later.

> Besides Filler, other TipRanks stars include Steve Mihaylo, the CEO of telephone services company Crexendo Inc., where he owns a $60 million stake. Mihaylo has turned a three-month profit on 83% of his trades over the past five years even as Crexendo’s shares have seesawed.

We've also had an unprecedented bull market over the past 10 years. If you pick any random stock at any time and hold it for three months, what are the odds that it will be worth more?

The article compares the returns to the S&P500, but that is the net performance of those 500 stocks. You'd have to compare it to the base rate of picking a random stock to see if it's actually remarkable.

Maybe the S&P 500 performed lower because 75% of the stocks in it went up and 25% went down. But that means that if you randomly pick one stock, you'd have a 75% chance of it being one of the ones that went up, and you'd outperform the S&P500. (Well, not quite, maybe it could go up, but not as much as the S&P500 as a whole. But still, most of the stocks that go up, would have to go up more than the average of the whole index in order to compensate for the ones that go down)

Later in the article, when they mention that insiders tend to reliably sell stock ahead of bad news, that seems much more damning.
The results of the US withdrawal make it pretty obvious that the Taliban as an organization were in hiding rather than defeated, and probably had backchannel communications going with local leaders the entire time the US was there, given that at least some of the rapid takeover of the country again seems to have come from pre-negotiated surrender agreements.
WhatsApp has no motivation to use SafetyNet. For one thing plenty of their users use cheap Chinese phones that aren't actually Google certified (but come with the Play Store anyway) and they know this full well from their analytics.

For another, SafetyNet is used primarily for DRM on streaming services and for banking or other financial apps. Absolutely no messenger uses it that I am aware of (unless you count Snapchat as a "messenger" but that's literally it).

Every FB owned app runs fine on Android devices that fail SafetyNet. No reason to believe that'll change because where's the benefit for FB?
The residue of pesticides in food is significantly lower, at least in EU. [1]

Some useful points:

- EFSA reports show that conventional agriculture exceeds the approved maximum residue levels more often and by a higher margin

- A study in Sweden reveals a significantly higher (70x) exposure in conventional food vs organic

I'm an editor and proofread texts daily. (In Spanish). The spell check process in Word was always straightforward, without significant delays between each check.

But guess what. Now the humble spell checker has evolved and now it's AI and cloud based. Nothing wrong with those technologies if properly implemented, but now each word that gets flagged makes a web request to try and find a suggestion, most of which are useless.

It's so frustrating. My work was becoming noticeable slower. Since I get paid per word, I need to work fast, so now before spell checking I have to disconnect from the internet. And I paid for Office! I paid for a software that helps me work slower and earn less.
It is really not okay that this publication is equating "hacking" with crime and breaking security. It's a form of bigotry that's going to send a lot of innocent people to prison, or worse, because they do things like post on a site called "Hacker News".

Imagine if they had entitled an article, "Is Science the Next Threat to Our Food Supply?" when reporting on a pesticide disaster, then in the body of the article described how "scientists sprayed pesticides on a farm, poisoning hundreds of people who ate the food." Or, "Is Freethinking the Next Threat to Our Children?" describing how "freethinkers employed children to work in their factories, maiming many of them."

Mark my words. If you're reading this, you're a target of this hatemongering. Friends of mine have already died as a result of it.
When my Chromebook fell out of "support" it became useless. Like, I couldn't open a console or run Crouton to do what I needed to do. The hardware was fine, just Google remotely broke my machine. I liked my Chromebook, but will never get another one. I'm happy with my used Thinkpad that cost about as much as the Chromebook. I'm finished with Google.
Would you be happy if this random search is extended to homes? What about a lottery every morning where they pick some random point in the map and they go to the home and make a search? What about searching homes because they have a broken light in the porch?

You say that like there isn’t any other popular apps for people to be switching to. Facebook messenger almost as popular for example and it isn’t like this would only happen to 1 family on the planet.

Further people often switch clients even when they have friends on the old platform simply because it’s the new thing. That’s how all the current major messaging platforms took off, none of them are very old.
That's not a simple fact; that's something you're making up.
Another thing that was put in place for corporations with lobbying power and wealthy people is the current US monetary policy of quantitative easing to infinity. This makes the rich richer and decimates the purchasing power of those who have few assets (poor and/or working class), and the government which you seem to have so much trust in does this knowingly. Note that even outside of the US, this does matter, since the USD is the de facto global reserve currency.
Small animals you drive through, bigger animals you try to avoid by breaking, elk/moose you actively try to aim right and behind the path if you have time to react, mainly because those things will kill you when they slam through the window.
The very common ACE inhibitor medications for high blood pressure (lisinopril and the others that end in -pril) are synthetic analogs of a compound found in the South American pit viper Bothrops jararaca. Scientists noted that being bitten by one of these snakes produces a rapid and profound drop in blood pressure. In the wild, of course, this causes the snake's natural prey animals to pass out so they can be eaten.

So it's not like snake venom-related drugs are unprecedented.
The difference here between the human and the car is that it's completely acceptable to require perfect attention and focus at all times from the car.
They suffered many losses and run back to Pakistan to regroup, sat there for over 15 years and when the US began to withdraw they pretty much took Afghanistan back without a fight.

To finish them off the US had to invade Pakistan or make it so costly for them to support the Taliban that they would have to give them up and they weren’t willing to do that for obvious reasons.
LLVM is Apple's baby, beyond its genesis under Lattner. They hate the GPL, that's it.

The thing about their contributions is that they upstream stuff they want other people to standardize on but aren't doing it out of love, as far as I can tell e.g. Valve have a direct business interest in having Linux kicking ass, Apple actively loses out (psychologically at least) if a non-apple toolchain is as good as theirs.

With commercial airliners, they moved away from auto-landing systems to head-up displays: assistive technology for the pilots.

To me it seems likely that putting in HUD-type assistance would be safer than attempting self driving, which is more complicated than landing a plane.
China Coal Power Outages Pose New Threat to Supplies of Goods
That's not exactly the truth. "Closed and worse" often does better than "open and better." It really just comes down to who has better salesmen.

Microsoft, for example, licensed Windows to vendors for decades with the requirement they not have another operating system pre-installed. This killed both "closed and better" and "open and better" systems alike!

No utility. Blue objects in the world: the sky, the sea, a handful of flowers, some very rare stones. Not edible, not usable in any other form.

The phenomenon can be directly observed in some languages where 'green' is synonymous with 'unripe'. Highly likely that the 'unripe' sense evolved first.

But why? It’s so cheap and so much love and dedication has gone into it. I bought my copy literally years ago and it’s provided so much joy. I actually kinda wish the opposite that there were more small projects that could have this kind of humble success. Particularly in a world where much more profit motivated enterprises give free software a shitty stick.
I think there's a stronger argument that breaking backwards compatibility allows for big increases in performance
Exactly. MS certainly has the technical talent to create a great new clean-sheet design. But the company has never been about engineering excellence above all. Instead, they've used their considerable resources to corner the market, lock in their users, and try to monetize everything in sight. The only reason I stick with Windows is because of the vast ecosystem of applications. Without that, I'd switch to Linux in a heartbeat.
As far as I’m aware, Facebook and Apple do not have a standing army yet.
