Poor people don't have mortgages. In a non-shit city they shouldn't even have cars (a depreciating asset won't do them any good).

Pay check to pay check can mean literally that. Money comes in, money goes out. There is no buffer. UDP not TCP life :D.
It depends on your use case. By some measure, the Google collaboration that demonstrated a time crystal was a practical quantum advantage in the space of condensed matter research. But in that space, practical means validating theory with experiment. That's a much lower bar for a quantum advantage than, say, showing that you've implemented a quantum algorithm that can, with high statistical likelihood (e.g. an error rate of 1/10e5), provide fleet routing solutions for a logistics company that are 10% more efficient than any known classical routing algorithm.

The Trouble with Platforms
I guess they haven't read yet on how damaged the supply chain is going to be then. This is not "we'll fix it up in a few weeks" road damage, it's more like major shipping roads in BC are going to be affected for through the worst of the winter here.
Someday when quantum computers are the size of dust particles and we're surrounded by them there'll be some version of a steampunk subculture that values decorating their homes with these ancient beautiful and laughably incapable devices.

Maybe it's just me, but the whole handling of this has been much more Microsoft-ey than usual. Is this a sign the MS culture is slowly seeping into GH?
This person didn't vote for Trump but, although she voted for Sanders in the primary, she didn't vote for HRC either. So she wasn’t a cultist on either side.

She has good memory and in ‘16 listen/read all the “liberal” sources. When the narrative started to fall apart (and if you have good memory you saw it fall apart) she started giving an ear to “alternative” media.

She eventually reached the conclusion that the alternative media was more honest.

Take from this anecdote what you will, but these people are out there (they’re referred to, obnoxiously, as being “red pilled”) and when elections are won on the margins, they matter.

A 1980s space telescope may have seen planet nine
Relevant part:

For the recent work, [Michael] Rowan-Robinson redid his search from nearly 40 years ago and found three points in the data from late summer 1983 that indicate some object moving across the sky. The data sources sit low on the galactic plane, though, meaning that the satellite was taking the data through plenty of dusty, cloudy material that can emit infrared light.
In other words, the work is something of a long shot. And Rowan-Robinson is well aware of that. “Given the poor quality of the IRAS detections, at the very limit of the survey, and in a very difficult part of the sky for far infrared detections, the probability of the candidate being real is not overwhelming,” he wrote in his paper.

"The data pointer is going to modify the struct" is not the only information that is useful.

Again, it is true in every language that there are some basic patterns to what interfaces look like. That doesn't tell you anything about what the application-specific logic implementing those interfaces is intended to do. For that, it is useful to name things such that they describe what they represent in the domain of the application or library.

If it is a generic function, there are good names for that as well (for instance, some kind of copy function would still have meaningful names like "from" and "to").

But the example given by the author here was not that, it specifically acted on transactions. In that case, the input bytes were meant to represent a "raw transaction" and the output struct is meant to represent a "transaction".
They look like beautiful hardware. Have you considered using an ESP or NRF etc as the control processor to (optionally) enable WiFi and therefore NTP automatic clock setting and daylight savings? It seems like something none of the commercial Nixie clocks have, and I don't really understand why? Maybe there's a commercial aspect I'm not appreciating. For me personally I like the idea of a clock always being dead on without needing manual sync.

I'd be happy to write the firmware for you for free clocks :)
Hey, have been researching about this brand recently. Any experience?
I am all in for down votes. I am not a physicist but the cost of cooling must astronomical for the output you get. CF. When autonomous vehicle technology gets released into production it is likely they won't make your car look like its wearing a dunce's hat whereas when quantum computers enter production we will still need mK temperatures for them to operate. The cost of cooling will burn the planet up further, just so someone can crack a SHA-256 encrypted password in seconds...random numbers indeed.
You'd pay a lab about $45, same as I did for my quality control check. A few of the ions--like nitrate or ammonium--will probably get tested with some kind of color-change reaction, and quantified with a visible-light spectrophotometer. The rest will be from ICP (inductively coupled plasma), a precisely-quantified version of the same effect as where different elements make a flame turn different colors.

> The vast majority of EVs charge at night when rates are low due to low demand.

Not true. If you actually model 300 million vehicles across all of our time zones and with different utilization modalities, you soon find out power demands become very much constant throughout the day.

That's not to say people cannot be incentivized to charge at certain times. However, you can't mandate that because everyone has different utilization patterns. If you have 15 million vehicles in California all charging between 6 PM and 6 AM you are going to have a serious power availability and deliver problem.

Solar? Well, that would require two things. First, sufficiently large batteries at home. Second, TWICE the generation and storage capacity anyone has at home today. I have a 13 kW array. If I wanted to use it to charge two electric vehicles I would have to at least double the size of the array and probably get something like 8 Powerwalls (haven't done the math, maybe more) to support the vehicles.

Why? Because solar systems are sized to supply what the home needs, not twice or three times current needs.

Nobody is going to double their installed solar capacity just for the heck of it. That said, if the utilities didn't steal excess generation capacity as they do (they pay you 1/10 what they charge you per kWh) there might be real incentives to install additional capacity because you could actually make money with your installation.

Not a simple problem.
I get the ridiculousness of those tiny packages. On the other hand I also hate to have my codebase bloated by some kitchen-sink "util" package of which I'll use about 0.1% functionality. (while, if I were really strict, I'd also have to audit and track the remaining 99.9% of the code.)

Tree-shaking can help at least keeping the build artefact small, but it doesn't help with the codebase during development.

Of course there is still a difference between fine-grained dependencies and things that shouldn't be dependencies in the first place.

> The novelty with bitcoin is that all the spots in the list are created at inception.* New players can only join by purchasing a pre-existing position in the chain.*

Wrong; at genesis, there were no Bitcoins (unlike premined coins such as Ethereum).
All bitcoins in existence come from mining which is a fair competition at any point in time (though admittedly less so across time as the block subsidy halves every 4 years).
What cannot be ignored is the fact that many people will attempt to use the same password for multiple sites if given the chance.

Furthermore, some of those shops may contain identifiable information which could be problematic.

Personally, i take a slightly different approach: i don't care about almost any of my passwords... because they're randomly generated!

KeePass gives you very nice choices in regards to this, when i write down a new account into the password protected DB for a site that I'm about to use, it allows me to both generate a random password for it, as well as specify additional generation rules if needed (e.g. longer or shorter).

That way every password is unique and reasonably secure. In combination with Nextcloud and regular backups to another HDD (and manual ones to SD cards) the password safe is also persisted across my own devices and other mediums, whilst having an even longer password of its own, the only one that i need to memorize (and write down on a piece of paper that i could optionally give to someone I trust, since i once forgot my phone's lock screen pattern years ago).

Here's more info about KeePass: https://keepass.info/

This, when coupled with separate e-mail accounts (e.g. one for professional matters, a few for increasingly more spammy or throwaway purposes) and something like uBlock Origin and a VPN does make my online browsing experience a bit more tolerable and secure.

Yes the market power is also one sided, capping the rate also doesn't really help without guaranteeing more access to credit.

The best thing is:

a) UBI, just hand out a tiny bit of money to make poor people more liquid, because liquidity kills, not insolvency

b) postal banking, because even shittier than a payday loan is high fee check cashing without a pretense of debt!

Poor people hopefully at the point can save up a paychecks worth of buffer in their bank account, and don't need postal bank loans to replay payday loans.

Sadly I missed seeing this ship when it visited Stockholm a couple of months ago, but I’ve seen it when docked in Gothenburg. I’ve never been on board sadly, but even just looking at it from the docks it’s such an impressive sight, I found myself just staring and marveling at it quite a while.

If anyone here on HN is anywhere along the route of the trip to China and you’re in to this sort of thing, I highly recommend going to see it. Even if you don’t much care for tall ships, maybe go see it anyway – you won’t be disappointed!

Also worth a visit if you’re in Stockholm is the Vasa museum[1]. It’s got a lot of good stuff both about recovering the ship as well as the construction and why it failed so spectacularly. Iconically, the story of the Vasa ship has so many parallels to modern day development that one might be tempted to draw the conclusion that we haven’t really learned all that much since then.. :o)

I imagine it has something to do with the Dossier coverage bolstering Trumps claims that the media is untrustworthy. It's easy from there to think "well, if they lied about this, what else did they lie about?". So you look more into many of the stories in the media, come to the conclusion that they regularly lie or embellish and your disdain snowballs from there.

I heard it from people who lived through it. They're all dead now. Wish I had a better reference.
As usual for a press release this is more hype than insight but it looks like they are doing three things here:

- Burning natgas

- Capturing all CO2 from the combustion process

- Using supercritical CO2 in the power turbines in place of (water)steam

Honestly it's the last part that has my attention. Most heat->(water)steam->turbine systems have a maximum 33% efficiency. NREL has been working with supercritical CO2 for quite a while because it gets well over 40%, possibly as high as 50% efficiency. In part it's because there's not a phase transfer taking place like in a normal water-steam turbine system so the cooled CO2 after the high pressure and low pressure turbines requires less energy to be re-heated. Also, at super-critical state the CO2 behaves more like a fluid than a gas and has greater "horsepower" (for lack of a better term). Either I'm behind on the supercritical CO2 news cycle or this is the first time they are making it work at near-utility scale. The goal for a long time has been to get this to work at the 600MW+ power stations (be it coal, natural gas, or any other sufficiently hot heat source) as the jump in thermal-to-electrical efficiency would be massive.
> "We're just protecting you" is a transparent excuse to rig the game. It's pulling up the ladder.

This is a truism that's not based on reality. You can question whether the protection is actually useful for the case, but there's a reason a bunch of professional licenses exist, and they do protect people. I don't want to "educate myself" to see if my doctor is competent to practice.
If installing Poetry wasn’t an option, deploying a frozen set of dependencies should be still relatively easy with plain ”pip freeze” and “pip install -r”.
As waprin mentioned above and I expanded on, I think yes, to enable people to take more risk, we provide stronger safety nets for them, which includes educating people and giving them tools. The challenge I see is that the ones who become rich mostly off the risks they take don't seem to want to invest in building those strong safety nets for people, to enable others to take risks that wouldn't be life or death, rich or homeless risks.

In the absence of resources and desire to provide strong safety nets, such as the education and tools you describe above, one way is to just prevent people from doing it.

I agree with you, I'd rather have more freedom to experiment and take risks. I also don't want people to fall to their physical or financial death.

Actually, there's a book that kinda talks about this idea called Care to Dare by a former hostage negotiator named George Kohlrieser. I took his leadership training seminar and he strongly suggested that to encourage people to take risks, we must first build secure bases for them so they feel safe enough to go off and explore knowing they can come back home.

In 2 years, the housing prices will be even higher. I just presently don't have much saving, but that's what I'm planning on doing, yes - well, not saving 50%, I do spend more than that per month; but saving at a fast rate.

Even with saving, though, I should probably save at least one more year to have an emergency fund again, so it's probably more like 3 years, but your point still stands.
You could just pick the one you want to present to the new prospective employer. This seems like a non-issue. It's like complaining about having a back pains, because you have to carry your wallet flush with cash.

Your story was interesting, but I think this statement needs some qualifiers:

It clearly WAS about that, because having friends in the restaurant industry is what allowed your friend to succeed. If he had no restaurant connections, he could have never signed up any customers.
I don't think we know that all tech has been eclipsed commercially. Recall that in 2012 NRO donated two unused, spare satellites to NASA that were superior to the Hubble telescope https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_National_Reconnaissance_O... and when President Trump tweeted out a, presumably NRO-sourced, picture it was at ~10cm resolution or better https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanocallaghan/2019/09/01/t... .

More to the point, there are sensors that are not commercially interesting but could be interesting for NRO's mission.
Or having free time and money to spend playing video games comes from success and stability.

If you don't let users use their preferred password structure, they'll have to use a shitty password like hunter2, letmein or dragon. Those can be recovered with a few attempts, even online. If you really want a 10 character password, you can hash the user's password, then imagine the first 10 bytes of the hash are the user's password, then do whatever you want with them.

> I do not see why it would be much slower than direct access to the storage.

Implementations of protocols like ODBC/JDBC generally implement their custom on-wire binary protocols that must be marshalled to/from the lib - and the performance would vary a lot from one implementation to another. We are seeing a lot of improvements in this space though, especially with the adoption of Arrow.

There is also the question of computing for ML. Data scientists today use several tools/frameworks ranging from scikit-learn/XGBoost to PyTorch/Keras/TensorFlow - to name a few. Enabling data scientists to use these frameworks against near-realtime data without worrying about provisioning infrastructure or managing dependencies or adding an additional export-to-cloud-storage hop is a game changer IMO.
I don't understand. You are getting a LE certificate for example.com (that you are putting where ?) then when your browser requests example.localhost it gets the certificate for example.com... but how (and how does the browser accepts a mismatching domain name certificate) ?
It is reasonable to assert that current asset inflation is due to concentration of wealth generally and COVID stimulation specifically.

Generally as the rich get richer they run out of consumption opportunities and must put money somewhere. They buy assets and drive up the prices.

Here (Aotearoa) COVID stimulation was not given to banks, but consumption opportunities for anybody with money have decreased, hence asset inflation.

We can expect a "correction" if history is anything to go by. It could be a crash (like 1929 or 2008) more likely stagnation in prices and inflation in other sectors (as in the 1970s and 1990s here)

Prediction is hard. Especially of the future
Given they are all continuously updating its unlikely such a list would exist. The way this usually works for open source software is that the vulnerability isn't made public until the software patch has already been issued and its very rare to get anything other than "security issue fixed" in the changelogs anyway. The answer should be on the latest version of the firmware no outstanding known vulnerabilities or very few.

The entire problem is that most of these routers haven't received updates in years from the manufacturers, they are abandoned. The open source firmware's are not abandoned and are continuously getting updates for their underlying packages from Linux/NetBSD even if they aren't doing substantial development themselves. What vulnerabilities that do exist and are not getting fixed will be in the hardware binaries for wifi for the FreshTomato supported routers and those usually listed as poor or no wifi support in openWRT, that is about it.
