Steam Deck really is an interesting comparison. It must be frustrating that Valve releases Steam Deck to fanatical reception if you feel like PS Vita was a better product for it's time. Even though PS Vita may have been a great product, it's possibly one that simply was not at the right place or time. I really think that Sony needed to win, not just sell modestly.

A big and weird part of this is simply because Valve is different. Still a corporation, still flawed, but certainly, if nothing else, definitely different. They have an appeal almost reminiscent of how people once regarded Google a long time ago. They've gotten a solid reputation for playing the long game with respect to building their ecosystem, and in that regard, Deck feels like a product many years in the making: the Steam client and games library, Proton and DXVK, the overlay and other middleware libraries, the multiple iterations of SteamOS, and many more endeavors all came into the product that the Deck is today.

Meanwhile, PS Vita did not have the luxury of the depth of consumer goodwill that Valve has, even if Sony has many times the breadth of consumer goodwill; worse, it needed to bootstrap it's ecosystem, whereas Valve has committed to bringing it's entire existing ecosystem to Deck instead. Valve also had the luxury of not being a traditional video game console vendor, and thus I don't think it elicited as strong of a reaction in the "console wars" either: I do not think that people view it the same. And hell, I don't think Valve does either. It has an aggressive starting price, and thus definitely can compete, but it seems probably still profitable. At the higher end, it's priced more like a gaming laptop, and thus the enthusiast gear that you would expect. I think they landed themselves a nearly unloseable situation with Deck. Because it's basically just an extension of their existing Steam ecosystem, it's essentially a value-add at worst. I would bet it acts more complimentary to other consoles, and there are probably few Deck owners without at least one other game console.

As a competitor to Nintendo's gaming handhelds and as a successor to the PSP, it seems like consumers largely rejected the PS Vita. Maybe in an alternate universe where Sony took an entirely different approach to the ecosystem and marketing of the PS Vita, things could've gone very differently.
NASA understands this well and if they feel they need to (considering the current political climate, it's likely) then they will likely start a years-long PR campaign soon to get ahead of it.

The data above had Norway at 20% at 2 years, so it would be surprising to still be 20% at 5 years.

They're also low population, and quite wealthy from the giant oil fields national income.

If you broke the 330 million in the US into 5 million sized chunks, you likely find well performing outliers like Norway too. That's the problem when assuming a small thing should scale.
Not convinced these are the dumbest (none of them is quite as dumb as requiring special characters in passwords, for example, and I'm not sure the fourth is dumb at all), or that they're six ideas. The first two are the same, and the third one is a special case of the same thing.

Show HN: I made a site that automatically unsubscribes you from unread emails
Hi Guys,

I'm Spencer and recently built AutoUnsubscribe to keep on top of my email subscriptions.

The basic idea is: Automatically unsubscribe from unwanted emails that you never open, so you can focus on the emails that matter, saving yourself time and effort.

I find overtime I accumulate hundreds of email subscriptions accidentally, especially when I ran an ecommerce business where our emails seemed to end up on all our suppliers, and their suppliers mailing lists. Some people stay on top of unsubscribing easily, however it's something I've always struggled with, especially having ADHD. I wanted a way to stop my inboxes getting out of control without me having to do anything so I built this app.

An added bonus is it helps you unsubscribe from subscriptions you were on the fence about unsubscribing too, as it points out you have not even opened them. It also warns you before unsubscribing and gives you a chance to whitelist a subscription, to make sure you keep the ones you care about.

I realised a lot of people would get the most value out of AutoUnsubscribe very quickly, so I wanted to provide an option for them, as opposed to just subscribing for a month and then cancelling. As a result the base pricing is $5 for seven days, which will let you basically clean out your inbox. I built out the app using Ruby on Rails, to avoid getting lost in the complexity of Javascript frameworks, as an individual developer/designer I think it was the right choice.

The app is privacy focused, I will never share or sell your data. It's also why it is a paid app. I know free unsubscribe apps in the past have monetized by selling user data.

You can see the site here: http://autounsubscribe.me/

Naked short sure, but you could buy some out of the money calls to cap your max loss. It’d just eat into the profit margin of your total bet. If you’re going to keep shorting more on the way down it gets more complicated.

I am afraid, now modi will ask to ban HN! He won't stand this insult on his biggest friend and greatest money source. Like the govt is trying to ban the BBC documentary..
The usual relevant questions here are:

1) Are there externalized costs?

2) How much the value is actually created by owners vs other labor within the company?

3) Are all participants rewarded proportionally to the value they create, or is there a labor-value arbitrage going on?

One simplifying/ideological model attributes the company's existence essentially to the owners and posits therefore obviously they deserve all the value and/or that every employee is participating purely voluntarily and so whatever they agree to must necessarily be fair. Another only recognizes the labor theory of value and would find anything other than a coop immoral.
Thanks, this is really helpful!

I think I'm on the "just trust that the papers you receive are the state of the art in this field and think about how to implement their conclusions in software" path. I actually prefer that, because I'm not really much of an academic. I would prefer to focus on the code and implementation details versus the theory stuff.

Distilling it down from a really abstract level to something to implement is hard though. To be fair, I'm just starting out with this so it should get easier from here I suppose.
Be careful, autoimmune conditions can affect the stomach and present symptoms similar to IBS, GERD, including projectile vomiting after eating. I know because I had that for years, but it was cyclical. Every time I thought I had it beat due to (insert 10 things I was trying at the time) it would come back with vengeance. Eventually it just went away but by then I had no illusion that I had done anything.

Turns out it was Familial Mediterranean Fever and it just goes away in your early 20s. I was never diagnosed until many years later and I even thought a lot of my remedies maybe worked until then.

Digestive and autoimmune both are labyrinthine in potential problems and misdiagnoses.

I run a fairly well-known organic chemistry website. Occasionally I receive notes from amateur chemists who want advice on various aspects of lab prep. Sometimes they are amusing, like getting late night calls from amateur CBD chemists. Other times they are scary. Two of my correspondents turned out to be so completely in over their heads there was no helping them.

One guy, a former electrical engineer, was making elemental chlorine and pirahna solution in his condo. The other was convinced he was close to finding a new drug for curing cancer - he sent me a Chemdraw file with impossible structures - and was hell bent on fluorinating a compound using DAST.

I had to cut off all contact with both, lest it be seen that I was aiding and abetting their reckless behavior...
Thank you for correcting my typo!
> A JIT is not, by itself, unsafe. The problem is that maintaining the complex set of constraints and invariants necessary to generate both safe and performant code is extremely difficult, and one slip-up can mean generating code that breaks some invariant and escapes a safety boundary.

I mean… isn't that what unsafe means? A "memory-unsafe" language means a language it's possible to make a mistake in, not one where memory errors happen all the time.

These types of rockets ideally shouldn't produce much radiation, as the working fluid (propellant) is just heated up by passage through the reactor, although I don't know if there's a primary coolant loop and a heat exchange or if it's just basically the primary coolant being blown out to space, in which case maybe there'd be some 3H-tritium formed? Probably not much of a concern, though it might be for a Earth-based test firing.

There is not such precedence. There sort of is precedence that you have to say you're doing it, but you can implement that by basically doing anything you want.

It is true that you can sue a company for securities fraud if they do essentially anything that you can claim made the share value go down, but that doesn't mean you'll win.
> an important one for system programming is the possibility to take the address of things which was not possible with original Pascal

I believe with (unsafe, packed) case variant records you could often get the address of anything that was allocated on the heap:

...
type ptrAddr = packed record
case Integer of
0: (addr: Integer);
1: (ptr: ^Something);
end;
var p: ptrAddr;
var somethingPtr: ^Something;
begin
new(somethingPtr); { allocate a Something }
p.ptr = somethingPtr; { copy its pointer }
writeln('Allocated something at', p.addr);
...

(Apologies for any errors - I don't write Pascal very often and haven't tested this.)

This obviously relies on implementation-specific behavior such as integers and pointers being the same size.

With this sort of trickery you can do all sorts of (unsafe) things including pointer arithmetic, custom memory allocators, garbage collectors, (unsafe) type casts, (unsafe) low-level memory and memory-mapped I/O access, etc..

As I understand it, Hipognosis owns the actual audio recordings. UMG owns the copyrights to the music and lyrics. So if you want to record a new version, you talk to UMG. If you want to play the one Beiber performed you talk to Hipgnosis.

You can see an extreme example with Taylor Swift not owning the original recordings, hence her re-recording her songs ten years later.

This is an interesting challenge. The first problem is for many consumers there aren't able to access more than one actual high speed provider. This drastically reduces your position in any pricing negotiation. If someone were smart they could personalize their offer based on whether your personal house had options although I'm not aware of anyone actually going to that length yet.

The next challenge is that even in the face of competition simple economics can break down in the face of uncoordinated cooperation even without collusion . It may be superior for major providers to collectively increase the price even without literal coordination simply by a small number of providers acting legitimately on shared interests.

In theory someone with more than one option could ping pong between providers during sales that offer free installation but this is for obvious reasons undesirable insofar as internet is a vital service and switching can incur unacceptable costs and the more people actually do this the bigger the incentive to find a way to resolve this. For instance limiting such promotions to those who haven't had them before.

As a buyer I want this to resolve down to a simpler pricing model like T-Mobile even if its not as advantageous as initial pricing offered because I would like a predictable and sane price and for providers to compete on price/value but its likely that the current opaque and complicated pricing model will continue because its more advantageous for it to be complicated.

The biggest threat to this model is probably municipal broadband.
Thank you for typing up a long detailed response. I think a lot of the points and concerns you bring up are valid, and we are mostly agreed upon.

In Matano however, we see Python as a viable component in security operations for narrowly tracking atomic signals while the language for writing detections and hunting threats will be SQL, which works perfectly well for use cases like the detection example you provided, albeit verbose. We have thought of also building a transpiler that would let analysts actually use the succinct syntax of SPL and compile that to SQL under the hood. This could be a great way to get adoption in companies where using Python would be difficult.

If you are interested, I would love to find some time to chat and share thoughts. Can you email me at shaeq at matano dot dev?

Human inspection is not perfect, creatively concealed objects and hidden messages can be overlooked. Digitization creates a strong barrier to any trickery. Plus, if there is a suspicion regarding a particular inmate, then a record of his/her correspondence can be examined for clues.

Again, very few free individuals communicate by paper letters or use strong end to end encryption on their e-mail. Why the sudden special consideration for criminals? I am not opposed to allowing physical presents including say a scented postcard if circumstances warrant it (minor offense or good behavior).

I dunno how things are now, but a few years back duration of updates were certainly linked to first release, not last sale, for at least most major manufacturers.

As an example of this:

In April 2019, I needed to rapidly obtain a device, and purchased a Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) from a major retailer in Australia. I later discovered that this model had already been EOL for over a year when I purchased it. (It was released with 5.1.1, got its last security patch in November 2017, and was actively unsupported no later than March 2018. The handset should very obviously have been updated to Android 6, if not released with it—Android 6 was announced and in beta 7½ months before, and was the stable release 3½ months before, the handset’s January 2016 release.)
I don't understand why any entity is "too big to fail".

The Subtle Art of Celebrating Your Customers
Golang has an excellent net stack, but not perfect. In particular, it appears to suffer from the ever-recurring issue of not paying enough attention to teardown. Everything must return to 0, ideally gracefully, but even the best programmers like to gloss over the details, because it’s easier to just kill everything and call it a day.

Tcp is full duplex, but net.Conn (the main std API that everyone is using), doesn’t have a “CloseWrite” method. That bubbles down to all downstream uses, such as tls. Another example would be how deadlines and timeouts are handled, and how they (don’t) interact with context, which is the blessed way to do timeouts for all non-IO purposes..

Still, Go is one of the best languages for network programming imo, because it allows you to check most edge cases (like timeouts) without wasting like 4 threads to do so.

But that’s just like.. my opinion.

What don't you like about the new layout? I find it to be a really well-done change that helps to modernize the page without getting rid of its classic text-first approach. In fact, other than moving the table of contents to the side, I really don't see any major differences.

Also, if you don't like the new layout, you can get the old one back. If you create an account, and go to preferences -> appearance, you can change back to the old "Vector Legacy (2010)" layout [1]
