The L16 camera is capable of taking photos of 52MP, and some have said they have taken up to 80MP photos with it (not sure if legitimate), so sure 16MP as the easily extractable photo resolution is not exactly world class, but just wanted to clarify its not "just" 16MP as a limit. These are very high quality cameras, but its hilarious to me that what could have been a "big player" in computational photography immediately did the evergreen VC-funded playbook of winding down via "incredible journey / shut off servers, fuck over all the people that supported your product in its infancy"

The CEO was actually an alumnus at my school, huge building named after him IIRC. Or at least, he has photos of himself all over the engineering building. I think this is just really terrible, and I would, as a mortal, never use another product made from these people after not even getting updated posted on some archive website.

High-Altitude Airships for the Future Force Army (2005) [pdf]

The problem with your preferred solution is that it requires changing the window width for each web page. My web IRC client requires a somewhat wide window, since it has a sidebars of channels on the left and a sidebar of users on the right, both of which provide utility and I don't want to hide. Reddit is unreadable on narrow screens. But blogs would need an 80 column window (I.e 1/4 the width of the screen) to be comfortable, unless the blog has some sidebar which makes that too narrow. I don't know about you, but I switch between tabs frequently, and I'm extremely happy that I don't have to resize my browser for every tab switch.

I keep my browser window maximised (usually on a secondary screen). I like that all web pages are more or less readable in that configuration.
52 megapixels is if you can process the images either via Lumen. By default the shareable images that are auto-uploaded are 16MP.
not OP but perhaps they are trying to say that terse code can be quite illegible

"She suspects that given Paul’s military training, he would never have chosen the .22 caliber pistol, meant for small game, Zodiac used at Lake Herman Road"

Sure, smart people aren't choosing .22s for combat, but as a purely offensive weapon it can be an option. The military has used supressed Ruger .22s for sentry elimination.
(I agree with your points, and gentle reminder on HN's conventions of discourse: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html )

IMHO, many disabled veterans not getting all the help they need, which the US could muster, seems to be a real and unconscionable problem.

As well as there being tragedies of veterans who the US can't help enough. (Recently including a friend of a friend, who died young, believed due to burn pits.)

This context is another reason we should be careful about vocal speculation of benefits/aid fraud. Dismissive-sounding talk risks making a terrible situation even worse, for many genuinely injured people.

What if you just had a balloon or something that was tethered to some ground station. Might be cheaper than a radio tower.
Indeed, we should rather attempt sending such a ship in one piece to the moon first.
Right now we would have problems actually assembling such a craft. Note how long and cost intensive it was to assemble a bigger space station.

Gateway program is such a baby step, assembling a base in moon orbit.

Ultimately, we would need an orbital facility to assemble bigger ships well without paying the immense costs of ultra heavy launches.
“Effectiveness” was a measurement of reduction in severe infection, not reduction of transmissibility. Nobody ever claimed there was a 90% reduction in transmission.
There are a few studies. Some are inconclusive, some say it helps shorten infection and prevent hospitalization, some say it doesn't do anything. It doesn't hurt so why not. I have bad allergies already. The virus is doing all its replication in the nose so if you can reduce particles there, it might be beneficial. I think some of the studies are using a little iodine so maybe that's needed instead of just salt.
There wasn't anything to deny. There's no way to opt out.
It doesn't matter if there are (extremely overstated) medical benefits. Cutting off pieces of a babies genitals is wrong. Full stop.
If Saturday is weekend, then Sunday is one-past-the-end. ;)
Ask HN: When did you stop using a printer and why?
Did you stop after a specific event? If so, which one?
Why does midnight matter? And since we don’t use local noon, why does noon matter?
Wow, talk about cherry-picking, and apparently you picked all the rotten cherries.

First, the comment I was responding to specifically requested randomized, controlled studies, which is what I responded with. I just looked at the first 3 of your links, and these are just observational/questionnaire studies, a decidedly less definitive source of evidence.

Most hilarious to me is that your second link, titled "Male circumcision may not make much difference to overall male HIV incidence in Caribbean context" and from 2012, even has a big box at the top stating "This article is more than 10 years old. Click here for more recent articles on this topic". Clicking that link brings up a page with loads of articles, and a summary header: "Voluntary male medical circumcision (VMMC) lowers the risk of female-to-male sexual HIV transmission by about 60%. VMMC is an important part of public health programmes in African countries with a high prevalence of HIV and a low rate of male circumcision."

Even your own links argue against your points.
Sorry I read your post incorrectly. If I say, let's do something this week, it means up to and including Sunday. If I say next week, it means after the upcoming Sunday.
You surely realize that in the US or Canadian tech cultures, Steven Cohen is only slightly better than being backed by a billionaire Russian oligarch. Cohen is certainly extraordinarily rich and well connected, his reputation isn't going to be positive for techies generally however. That is to say, tech workers are far more likely to be turned off by your pointing that investor out than the other way around (but hey, maybe it does some screening re potential applicants).
Just call it "evening" if it's before midnight. That way you get four nicely subdivided periods.

00-06 - night

06-12 - morning

12-18 - afternoon

18-24 - evening

Would need to refactor the name of "midnight" tho to minimize confusion. But if we use it as a starting point to count hours in a day from, it doesn't make sense to simultaneously designate it as a middle of anything.

(BTW, such subdivision is actually common in many places of the world.)
Go watch a video of Russian TV saying it was a good idea to nuke London while Elizabeth was being buried and come back. Or better not.

I feel we've just rediscovered why appeals to grammar[0] don't actually solve much of anything. (Not saying you're appealing to grammar, just that grammar is generally not that useful for discerning... anything really.)

Anyway, to be a bit more substantive: What really baked my noodle when I was younger is the fact that the seasons and the night/day cycle are much more disconnected than it appears when you live on Earth. Of course, it makes sense when you understand the tilt/rotation thing, but still... it really weirds me out sometimes.

No discussion of Carver is complete without mentioning his relationship with editor Gordon Lish.

It feels to me that for "end" to be used as the two ends of the week, it would be weekends (plural), not weekend (singular).
They're removing plain text auth because:

a) password doesn't support 2nd factor.

b) Most configurations keep password is on disk somewhere, often in plaintext.

c) User configurations break on password rotation.

Your tracking theory doesn't really hold up a) they know exactly who you are on your email client anyway as you log in and b) most users are logged in to their google/microsoft account anyway because of o375/workspace/youtube.
it's powerful and so few people know how to leverage it

Because otherwise it is useless. It has the same fate as AHK scripting and similar little languages. The language may be okay for its task, but if you cannot or do not use it for other things (unlike e.g. perl) at least from time to time, chances that you will learn and remember it are low. People know sed because regexps are everywhere. People use perl instead of awk, because they have a muscle memory for it. They may know [, find and glob for their relative generic-ness. They ignore awk and ahk because these are too niche to pay enough attention to. You either find a snippet or just move on.

If you are not constrained by a single line in a script, it’s easier to feed a heredoc into an interpreter of choice.
> Per my knowledge US is the only country which stubbornly (and illogically) considers Sunday to be the first day of the week;

No, in Israel Sunday is the first day of the week too, because the weekend is Friday-Saturday (Shabbath). In Hebrew, though, the week days are named rather simply - except for Sabbath, they are just "Day 1" (Sunday), ..., "Day 6" (Friday). OTOH, that's exactly how they were numbered in the Bible, so...
Yes. Just like if you fork the amazon website you become amazon.
Then I don’t understand your point. The initial claim was that programs are written for human consumption first and foremost. To me, you seem to be replying that programming languages exist that are write only. In that case, agreed. But I don’t see how that is meant to counter the claim that programs are written for humans.
Ask the railroad workers… that’s what they are striking about
Which is why the only real way to fix this problem is with legislation. Minimum wage laws aren’t perfect but they address core issues like this far better than most, imo.
Precisely the goal of Gateway, of which Artemis/SLS are pieces.
> climate activists dont believe in clmnate change, they just want to help the poor and do left wing things

If that argument was made, then I don't agree with the "want to help the poor and do left wing things" part. I agree with the not believing it climate change part though - if they did they wouldn't be buying beachfront properties and flying around in jets while scolding us poor people. They'd be taxing the shit out of themselves and their corporations. They would push for price ceilings so they can't pass the taxes onto poor people.

Yet here they are scolding us for our habits and trying to make the 99% of us change while they make record profits every year. They have no desire to put their money where their mouth is though.

Not arguing your point, but ending a comment with "... Full stop." doesn't make you somehow more right, it just broadcasts that you are uninterested in hearing any arguments or data that are contrary to your opinion. Which is good, I guess, to let us know that we shouldn't waste our time.
We used to end our days at sunset, because that's an observable event. Now we don't. That's why we have things like Christmas eve one date and Christmas day the next, when they really should be on the same date.

I don’t see how that’s enforceable.

For example, how do you stop a company from buying publicly traded shares, which is basically buying a company.

And if you do stop companies from buying publicly traded shares, the entire stock market collapses. Individual buyers buying shares from their personal accounts form a vanishingly small percentage of stock trades. I suspect even a lot of the individual purchases are done through corporate entities for tax, liability, and bankruptcy protection reasons.

> Your numbers are a bit off, it's sort of safe to assume that maybe half of terminals are operational - not 100%.

Wait, why is this? Do you mean that 50% have been produced and not yet sold, or 50% have been sold to people who aren't paying for service? I'd assume a much smaller percentage in either case.
Count me out. I still use a monochrome laser printer occasionally for personal business, and have fun covering the walls with prints from a big photo printer. James Webb's Neptune is the latest.
Probably the FAA. Each time there is an accident they investigate it thoughtfully. And they have long checklist to ensure the lessons are applied.

Also Big Pharma. They would be happy to sell snake oil, so they are very regulated and forced to make good experiments.
Personally, I never stopped because there are still occasions where the best way to view something is in printed form. Those occasions get fewer by the year of course. For example, in the past I would print directions from MapQuest, and later Google Maps. Phone apps have eliminated the need and made getting directions somewhere much better. On the other hand, I do a lot of interviews and read a lot of résumés. Those are generally intended for print form, and I prefer to print them out.

Also, with a good laser printer there is no need to stop printing. It took 10 years to use the toner cartridge in by Brother printer. I'm hoping for 10 more out of the new cartridge I just bought.
To work in crypto at a sophisticated firm like Coinbase, Gemini, Circle (my former company) or my own co, it would be a given you believe in markets and the experimental nature of digital assets given… that is the whole reason to work here!

I am a libertarian, free thinker, capitalist, etc. which is the standard profile in this industry. I have recruited engineers out of Amazon and Google who said they needed a change of pace from the “moralizing” (use your own judgement). It is a very open discussion, open inquiry industry.

So if working for a Cohen company is against your morals, easy to ignore. If that doesn’t bother you, then you passed the first question! Steve is a genius - but not everyone likes Wall Street.
If you’re interested…
the reason Christians worship on Sunday is because Jesus was raised from the dead on the first day of the week. It wasn’t an immediate thing as at first almost all Christians were Jewish and continued the seventh day day of rest and gathering for worship.
POP, not IMAP
The protocols are seeing a decline in deployments but they're still very popular. See the below for a trend of the protocol over the past 5 years:

Having spent the past ~10 years living in London, I disagree.

Rush hour Tokyo trains were a dream, people are polite and queue, but they queue so that they're not in the way, the carriages are surprisingly head-roomy for 6'4 me, unlike the shit show of the central line, they're cooled properly, like the circle/district and the stations were almost universally clean and spacious unlike our tube platforms which are often cramped with tiny exits through archways blocked by people filling the platforms.

I'm not saying the London Tube is bad, but I would take Tokyo subway over it any day.

It may be controversial to say but tourists (local or from afar) are generally the worst part about central London commuting, due to the ignorance of the etiquette, especially when tourist numbers can be overwhelming in some parts.
Denton to Manchester Piccadilly: http://traintimes.org.uk/denton/manchester/08:45/saturday -- the train only runs twice a week, on Saturdays.

Since health insurance is 20-30% of the benefits package it’s cheaper to either hire under the full time bar or work people 7 days a week 10hrs a day and just pay the overtime differential. I think the calculus has swung enough that overtime at 1.5x is actually cheaper than adding new employees.

Historical reasons. Sunday has always been the first day of the week. Because yet another religion than the 4 mentioned before explicitly defines Saturday as the last day of the week, and everybody has always gone along with that. Probably because it was always like that anyway.

The recent official standardisation of Monday to be the first day of the week was a mistake.
I must have missed that R2 is now GA. I need to look into migrating from S3.
SaaS founders what do you think about this solution?
So we are building LiveGenie a 2-in-1 solution for SaaS founders to increase revenue and reduce customer churn.

On top of live video chat, you will have the possibility to co-browse with your users and get an AI Transcription for automatic meeting reports which you can easily integrate into your CRM or your support software.

Please tell us how we can improve the product.
It’s 99.9% backward compatible. The comment makes it sound like it’s a huge pain every 2 years, as if it was the "python 2 to 3" level of pain.

I went through a lot of these new versions, starting with c++11, and can’t remember one time I had to change anything to my code based, appart from silencing deprecation warnings for unicode stuff.

Now I get that chromium-like code bases are huge and that the 0.1% of backward incompatibility is still a pain. Now, with that level of hugeness of code bases, maintaining it when the language evolves is going to be a pain. C++ has been very careful with backward compat, breaking very few things, compared to other languages. So these criticisms really are uncalled for to me. Sounds like good ol c++ bashing trying to sound wise.

I felt the comment wasn’t fair and wasn’t an honest criticism. Sorry for my angry comment. We live in rough times.
I have similar thoughts as OP (though I now use a Series 7 and have few to no issues with GPS now) - the Garmin Fenix 5 or Coros Pace 2 are pretty great. Ive done trail ultra's, road halfs, mixed bike races, city to city tours and everything in between with both. Coros doesnt integrate with as many things as I would like.
you have to jump through hoops to do basic auth (even over SSL) for IMAP/pop with gmail as well. (this has been true for some years now)

on one level, it's sad to see the open protocols go... on the other, google passwords are a big deal.
