I actually worked as a software dev at a genetics laboratory a few years ago where there was a complete network split implemented matching your description.

All resulting research data was on the airgaped network where each terminal was heavily restricted in what it was allowed to do and by whom.

We the software devs were on the open network, with less restrictions. Due to the concern of a supply chain attack there was a heavy feel of not invented here.

Over its ~25 years of operation the lab has created immense amounts of internal software from scratch.

It was an interesting look into a small dev team that had mostly never worked anywhere else (yes, the code was often very messy), and had a xenophobic view of off-the-shelve software and solutions.
Do you think Giphy can do well as a stand-alone business? They're willing to sell for $400M despite taking $150M in VC, which suggests that the company itself doesn't really believe it.
Yeah, no.

Having literally every indoor space be freezing cold is not reasonable.

In the UK this happened earlier in the year (no-one cares any more) and generally everyone would huddle in the most sheltered part of a venue to make up for it.

And no, we're not installing magic new tech in every building.
Nah, just catching up with what was already possible with ActiveX, Applets, Flash and PNaCL, just more cross browser and political acceptance across all parties.
> we on the other hand can maintain the stuff we want to last a long time.
That we don't do it, e.g. infrastructure with the particularly bad maintained bridges in Germany, is not the materials fault, or the original designs fault.

I have to respectfully disagree on this one. Humans in general have become spectacularly bad at maintaining physical infrastructure across longer timespans. Technological advances have enabled a cheap/fast/overbuild culture. This very much includes the design phase.

Look at the evolution of design. The large majority of our infrastructure, depending on the spot on our earth, largely dates from the last 200 to 50 years. Look at infrastructure predating that. Look at evolution. The bond with local communities depending on the infra? You'll inevitably find it cut. You'll find more bloat in the design. You'll find less local involvement.

To some extent, this is progress. Unfortunately, this has an impact on maintainability.

Looking at your example of German bridges. I'll make it even more tangible and look at the Eifel region with so much of its infra recently destroyed by flooding. How do we get excellently maintained bridges, when we know this is very much against human nature?

This means questions like:
- Does this bridge really need to be (re)built? To this specification? In this place?
- How much does this bridge benefit the local community where it is built? Can we think of ways to increase that?
- How much of this bridge absolutely needs to be built out of reinforced concrete?
- Wouldn't it make sense to build some infra in now very flood-prone areas out of less durable but cheaper, more quickly replaced materials like wood?
- Can we bring the design closer to the layman? Can we for example design a bridge so that it will visually degrade in step with safety degradation?
- ...
You didn't mention your gender or which gender you're dating, so nobody knows what your issues really are.

On average, men and women are opposites, for example, wrt life goals, timelines and interests. It's normal to have no passions in common initially, or for a gf to become a chameleon and adopt the bf's interests. (If you can't explain this paragraph in more detail, then you need to study relationships more.)
I will try to expand the project to include reddit, twitter and linkedin. This will take some time, but I've also added LinkedIn to my to-do list. Thanks for your comment.
From TFA: "Continents that lost more grazers (South America, then North America) saw larger increases in fire extent, whereas continents that saw lower rates of extinction (Australia and Africa) saw little change in grassland fire activity."

That seems to be the principle basis for drawing a causal relation, though there's a fairly strong north/south element (excepting South America) as well.
I think the finding of this study is suggesting religious persecution is bad for for a community, not religion itself. It would likely see all the persecution you mention as harmful, just not part of this study.

In my experience proportional fonts look and work better than monospaced in all editors I use (including email clients, messengers, browsers, ebook readers, dictionaries, file managers). In general I would say anything you can say about preferences will be overriden by habit.

Not really. HN doesn't support any quoting syntax/formatting. There's a common convention in use of putting a ">" (not "&lt;" or the more relevant "&gt;") at the start of a quoted paragraph. The "problem" with the above comment is they indented the quote, which formatted it as code, which wraps strangely, so they wrapped it manually.
I've been really high on the idea that the simplest (legally/politically viable) solution is to put a cap on the number of people a representative can represent. That's a lot more hands to grease for lobbyist and a lot more ears for constituents.

I think there was one rep per 25k people in 1776.

The large number doesn't matter because reps don't read, right, or debate details of the f*n bills. ALEC, and party lawyers do.

You are absolutely correct. I have heat and insulation to keep the cold out. And it works: It is currently -9C/16F and though I feel a small draft from the closed window, I'm also not wearing a coat indoors. I'd be huddling under a blanket otherwise.
Not Write Strict Data Validation in Firestore Security Rules

Dear soheil,

I happen to need around few thousand in GCP credits in order to egress around 30TB of data from our cloud buckets. It's training data, training logs, model snapshots, and pretty much all of our ML history (http://wiki.tensorfork.com/).

The real tally is actually 83TB, but around 30TB of that is incremental model snapshots which we don't need to download (turns out, you can generate a lot of data when you're using TPUs for training), and around ~30TB is whatever-data that no one cares about / duplicated data across regions. (To use TPUs in EU and US, you need to place the training data in both EU and US.)

Normally I wouldn't ask, but we've been playing "hot potato" with this data for several months now, since our last credits ran out. We've basically been making new GCP accounts (where you get $300 credit) and then letting it sit there for a month (because they give you a month before deleting it, even if the credits run out).

If you'd be willing to help, it would be quite simple: I would transfer the buckets to your account, and then download the data to a Hetzner server. I'd then make the data publicly available, such as it is. You can DM me on twitter (https://twitter.com/theshawwn) or email me (see profile). Thanks for considering!

EDIT: For an example of how we've amassed terabytes of training logs, you can see some of our BigGAN outputs here: https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Atheshawwn%20biggan&src=t...

The first time, sure. But the second time, a `git pull` should normally be significantly quicker.

Heck, you could check if the tag you want already exists in the repo you have and skip the `git pull` a lot of the time.

That depends on how long they are in surgery, I'd think. And isn't the reason for switching masks not because of adverse affects to the surgeon, but to protect the patient? We have similar things with rubber gloves: You don't need to change gloves so often if you are, say, cleaning.
Don't listen to Americans on 'food safety' the majority of our 'food' contains fillers and food additives that cause cancers and birth defects but you _can't_ buy sausages and cheese that Europeans have been eating for centuries
The US has prohibited a number of meat products from the EU for import into the US expressly because many EU slaughterhouses did not meet US standards. As a well-known example, Iberico ham was banned from the US for decades because Spanish slaughterhouses could not pass certification by US inspectors. Historically the workaround for this was to send animals to countries like Denmark, which had slaughterhouses that could pass US certification but that made everything much more expensive. The US import standards are essentially the same as the domestic standards -- certain kinds of food are very difficult to produce in the US too (in recent decades they've been easing up on that to allow some "traditional" foods).

The US definitely has its share of highly-processed and engineered food products of dubious value. On the other side, things like high-quality meat are cheap in the US compared to the EU, so people generally don't bother with oddly processed meat unless you are buying something that is explicitly expected to be highly processed.

This is also very regional. The US produces vast amounts of agricultural goods of all types; depending on where you live, the local agricultural goods approximately round to "free" for the average consumer. As cheap as beef is in the US generally, for example, if you travel to where it is produced you can get amazing -- better! -- product for almost no money. Similarly, when my parents lived in Alaska, crab and salmon was essentially free.

Agree. Very hard problems or big investments (e.g. rail network, infrastructure at a country level, basic research with high risk of failure that will take decades) you usually have some form of state agency running it.

There's a ton of potential societal benefit in centralization and/or monopoly in theory. There's also a ton of potential downside. What in particular makes this fall in the latter bucket?
Oh very silly of me. Thanks for the correction.

No idea what type of business you're running. Businesses always looks ahead (unless it's a scam-and-run operation, of course). And investment is also business.

Remote Development for JetBrains IDEs

How are those Unreal developers supposed to debug WebGL, GLSL shaders, and browser profiling of their WebAssembly code?
The Mig-25 Foxbat also used alcohol for cooling - those PVO (Soviet Air Defence) units stationed in the cold could keep themselves warm.
Alcatel Go Flip 4 prob. I haven't used it but it's the only featurephone I can think of with US band support and it's under $100.

EDIT: Also uh, this submission is about CDMA shutdown. T-Mobile's 2G GSM is still going to be around for at least another year. If you have an active SIM in something real old, it'll keep working until then. If you need a replacement SIM you'll likely be forced into an upgrade (as the newer SIM cards in their stores lack the 2G applet)
The client would eventually time out though, right?
The physical footprint of PSU and cooling would still have to be larger to accommodate the increased max wattage/heat, whether the chip is on at any given time or not. The chip would also need its own memory or some interface to access the main memory, which is built into the M1 chip. And, there would be a ton of firmware and microcode updates and stuff to keep track of and secure which was one reason they wanted to have their own chips.

Making an Icon for VS Code
MacBook Air at $999 is Apple's entry level Mac. If you want more than 16GB, you need to go M1 Pro or higher.

M1 is their first generation Mac SoC. Still using LPDDR4, if you want 32GB, you will have to wait for M2 MacBook Air which should have LPDDR5 and allows 32GB. Assuming Apple allow such configuration. Or they may decide to save cost and stick with LPDDR4.

M1 Pro and Max has wider memory bus and controller with LPDDR5.

You can built a Laptop with 128GB if you wanted to, just at the expense of Battery Life.

If we dont have a borderline fair comparison with products, why dont we compare to a Chromebook? I think most if not all people should agree the build quality of MacBook Air M1 is better than 99% of Dell's laptop.

I dont want to sound like an Apple apologist but that is just an objective truth. If the argument is about pricing, then Apple isn't a brand sell product on low margin. Consoles are sold at small or even negative margin. They aren't even in the same business model. That is a marketing and pricing strategy question.

And almost no one realise, partly because 99.999% of people inclusive but not limited to HN aren't working in CE or supply chain. The price for DRAM hasn't moved in the past 10 years. And LPDDR memory are actually more expensive per GB.

I’m not sure why we should focus only on Facebook. Amazon, Google, Apple do it as well. Laws should go beyond Facebook.
As another anecdotal fact, when I was young, after a few repeated accidents in a combat sport, I remained with a large swelling in the tendons of one thumb, which would not heal.

More than a half of year later there was still not any sign of healing, despite all efforts to treat it.

It happened that during a couple of weeks I ate a huge amount of European wild blueberries every day. After the first week, my hand healed abruptly and no sign remained that there ever had been any problem.

I have no idea what was contained in the wild blueberries that triggered the healing. At that time I was eating healthy food, including a lot of varied vegetables and fruits, so it is very unlikely that I had any kind of vitamin or mineral deficiency.

In any case, the European wild blueberries have a much higher content of anthocyanins than the American cultivated blueberries, which can be easily noticed when seeing their strongly colored pulp, in comparison with the clear pulp of the American blueberries.

This was a nightmare to deal with together with i18N. What if there were no available letters for doing something in a language for a particular command?

The solution was in the switch to Ribbons: the underlines were replaced with keytips that are displayed when you hit Alt and as such aren’t required to be a character in the command’s name.
This is a pretty useful site that I've often stumbled upon from Google. Also kudos on the super permissive cc0 license.

Where's the advantage of instagram, whatsapp and Facebook belonging to one company? The only advantage on any side I can see is combining user data and behavior data to improve ad revenue.

You could argue that features can make it easier across products, but each product would be big enough on their own to develop these features at little cost compared to their income. Apart from that there's no potential upside I can see for a user to have these products under one company.

The same applies to Giphy. Right now, messenger companies don't own Gif companies and it's still very easy to use them together. I don't see the benefit here for a user to have them owned by the same company.
With compose for desktop announced, I was wondering when a new interface would be unveiled. Looks like they are using the migration to the new stack to experiment with a lightweight alternative to vscode. I wonder if it also uses kotlin native and moves away from JVM, doesn’t seem likely since they say they are sharing code processing backend with IntelliJ.

What Is a Sex Doll?
Doodles of a 13th century schoolboy
A sex doll (also known as a love doll or a blowup doll) is an anthropomorphic sex toy modeled after a sexual partner. The sex doll can be a whole body with a face, or only a head, pelvis, or other partial body with sexual stimulation attachments. The components may vibrate and be detachable or replaceable. realistic sex doll come in various shapes and sizes, but they differ from sex robots, which are humanoid creatures meant to engage in more nuanced activities.
