They know exactly what it means, and they are betting on the electorate having zero long term memory, which, unfortunately, rings quite true in election years.

There is no brinkmanship, people need to realize that. A crashed economy with high gas prices, rampant inflation, etc... in an election year is exactly what the GOP wants when a Democrat is in the White House. Why do you think right-wing media has been screeching about "Biden's crappy economy" for months now while the GOP's only play is to push Biden to enact a 315 page budget that features 271 pages of handouts to the Oil&Gas lobby? They put in what they want, and have the upper hand, because they get to blame it on Biden when it inevitably goes to shit, and look like they tried something and all Biden said was "no" and a crash happens. That play has worked time and time again and it wins elections.

The GOP playbook for as long as I've been alive is "break things when we're in power, but make sure they aren't visibly broken until a Democrat is in power, and then raise hell about how Democrats always break things, so people will vote us back in".

NINJA EDIT: I wish people were educated enough to understand why Washington and his greatest political rival, John Adams, both were in unison when it came to suggesting that a two party system would destroy our country.

Washington: “The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism.”

Adams: “There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.”

Yet, here we are.
The baseline HL7 V2 Messaging standard is really intended as more of a toolkit. It's very generalized to allow for a wide range of uses anywhere in the world.

In order to establish real interesting between two organizations you generally need to follow an Implementation Guide which constrains and profiles the baseline standard. HL7 publishes some IGs itself and others are available from organizations like the CDC and DirectTrust.
VR and AR are a solution looking for a problem. It's admittedly a cool tech demo. I enjoyed my time playing Half Life: Alyx and The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners on my Valve Index before I decided to sell it out of disuse.

The article says that Apple has a glasses product and a VR/AR product that sounds similar to a Quest Pro.

So if we look at the glasses product it immediately runs into a lot of issues. Do I want to be wearing glasses? Do I already own glasses? Do I like how glasses look on my face? Wearable tech is very personal especially when it's sitting on your face. At best this is a product for industrial environments.

Then the Quest Pro-like VR/AR product...separate battery pack in your pocket, need I say more? Now compare that experience to an Oculus Quest for $300. It doesn't really matter that the Quest is a less capable product, it's at the right price point and form factor and its strong sales show it.
I don’t agree. My perception is that the author doesn’t think “atmosphere” discussions about programming languages are of less value, it’s just an example to segue into the classification of “soil, surface, and atmosphere” as types of programming language considerations, and off of that the observation that the past decade has shifted significantly to “atmosphere” as the most important aspect for safe, boring software engineering (which is the actual primary topic of the article)

None of that is to imply the friend is wrong or inferior in some way
Don't forget the fingerprints!

But yeah, so many things are obnoxious and clunky about smartphones. Glancing down is never a good look, let alone glancing down and then walking into a wall. The moment that minimum viable AR tech happens, people will suddenly remember how many compromises we have to make for smartphones.
Do you know what the implications would be in simply defaulting?
I hadn’t considered late 18-hundreds as a context, but I’m gonna stick to my guns and say wade-Giles.

Wades incarnation goes back to the 1860s.

Since you don’t need the alphabet as an intermediate you can can encode each initial and final from the table[1] as an individual character to balance the number of encodings per symbol with the number of symbols per word.

Since Morse typically encodes simple messages with its own vernacular I think you can safely drop encoding the tones.

(Can only speak for myself). I’ve a bit of a hacker. To be honest lately, I just find the languages I know are so nice and powerful (enough) that I spend time building interesting and cool things (a AC power flow solver; a networked 3D roguelike game) than hacking around with new shiny languages.

Basically I just really like TypeScript. Languages I’ve worked with or tried out for the pure hackery spirit of exploration: assembly, C, C++, Java, Ruby, Python, Clojure(script), Lisp, Elm, C# (did lots of neat stuff with that, thanks Unity!), PHP, scala, go, Pascal, VB, probably a couple more I forget. More tech stacks than I can think of.

FOR ME, TypeScript is just so good for what I want to do that I just don’t want to mess about with other tools or “spend innovation tokens”. I just wanna build stuff!
It's buried in the article, but they were doing a massive modernisation project so hired to deliver it. Now that it's done they'll downsize.

"When the cellphone runs out, the internet gets cut off, or the television doesn't work because of no electricity or power to your house, you can still turn on your AM radio."

Oh, yeah, sure, let me turn on the radio when I have no power at the wall. Fat lot of good it does me to have data in AM waves sloshing around when just about every modern radio I've ever used won't make noise without wall power. Would the average American even know that they could get information from the government over AM radio in a disaster?
Almost all industries are underserved by software.

I'll assume B2B. The hardest part of starting something, generally, is getting the first 10 customers.

Which industries do you have personal connections to people that could be the first 10 customers?

Alternatively, which B2B products/industries are you yourself the customer, where there's a product you personally pay for, that you see how you could make it a lot better?

If there's encryption, it's generally further up the stack (eg. wrapping in a TLS connection or IPSec tunnel).
Maybe, then it serves that purpose (if it's indeed their domain). But why redirect then or even point them to an HTTP server?

Anyway, I would never choose to fight this battle, feels rather futile. It doesn't help that they have a dash in the name, so they have to hunt down names with 7-zip and 7zip as well.
There's no point in posting a 2019 article just to get riled up against Adobe without any updates or more recent developments.

If we're going to turn on the outrage machine, let's at least stick to current news. Not something that happened 4 years ago.
>>Biden should just print a $999T coin and make it a non-issue forever.

Get ready for your $250 cup of coffee, and 20%+ interest rates forever if they do that.
I agree that getting to a genuinely useful/comfortable/fashionable AR device is a pretty heavy lift. (And that it's arguably unrelated to VR except maybe to some degree at the tech level.)

But, if you get there, I'm pretty convinced that you will have a population of adopters whether it creates a class divide or not. Certainly cell phone adoption wasn't held back by this factor.

Putting this facility in Taiwan seems risky, considering the political situation. I heard Warren buffet just pulled his tsmc stocks out of caution over it
> The EU was designed to allow countries to compete on this.

Yeah but it shouldn't have been I think. When the EU was 'designed' there was still very strong nationalism and countries were afraid of giving up their sovereignty, it's time to start moving away from this.

> I really think this is a controversial statement. The money can be put to good use in Ireland as well, which is in the EU.

Yes but Ireland isn't getting a lot of money because of the huge tax breaks they provide. The main thing they get in return is a few jobs (and the taxes paid by the employees).

The EU as a whole would gain much more if countries were not able to compete on taxes. Ireland itself might lose out some but the EU overall would gain a lot because there would be a lot less tax avoidance.
PHP could, too, but it required an extension which wasn’t enabled by default and had some caveats about memory use and performance way back then. I know this because I used it to implement gzip compression in PHP 3 (or maybe really early 4?) with a hook to compress each chunk before sending it, which really helped our customer’s product pages & reports with tons of repetitive HTML.
When the state's debt growth is unbounded with the feature (not bug) of money printing and suppressed interest rates, eventually that printing and spending outstrips the real economy's ability to extract and utilize resources to generate value; people are unable to produce faster than the currency can inflate. Thus, you then have a net negative economy, where the state's deficits are consuming all newly generated wealth PLUS the wealth generated by previous generations. An inflection point. A country begins to quite literally eat itself alive.
Yea different countries/peoples have different tolerance for suffering, it’s not as simple as you say there are other paths to revolution than the accelerationist position you’re defending

No. China doesn't do that. That's why corrupt leaders love Chinese loans.

Unlike the IMF, China simply doesn't care that the loans will not actually lead to any improvements for the citizens of the recipient country, and are happy for the leaders to simply pocket the money in return for the country and its citizens paying China high rates and then eventually giving away the project to the Chinese.

The IMF/World Bank have been consistently maligned, but it's increasingly clear that their demands for prudence is beneficial to the actual citizens of the country. The negative consequences are not a result of the financial prudence they require, but rather, a result of the mess the country got themselves in so they needed to go to the IMF to get money in the first place.
it's the sensible way to design a system around this display, but the playdate isn't what i'm looking for because it doesn't have a keyboard and also it's kind of bulky
As an American, I think there are two sides to this coin. On the one hand we have various (annoying) forms of forced positivity. American cheerleader culture is one, the cult of PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) is another, and similar things. It’s like some of us think the natural state of humans is to be overtly happy all the time, and if you’re not you’re deviant.

On the other hand though, toxicity is worth avoiding. It can ruin team dynamics, and turn a high-functioning org into a backstabbing dysfunctional one. For instance, one wise thing Joe Biden did at the start of his term was to require that everyone in his administration be nice to each other, treat their colleagues with respect and dignity [1]. He was preemptively killing toxicity before it could emerge. HN enforces this too as a matter of policy.

You can of course have the latter without the former. And criticism can be constructive and honest without being overtly cheery. (The Japanese are good at this fwiw - “Fix the problem not the blame”). But some Americans, subcultures, and corporate cultures, don’t always understand the distinction and mix them up. And some business people believe that happy workers are more productive, and so encourage positivity for that reason, even though studies on the subject have long produced mixed results.

The problem was the big farms relied virtually exclusively on slave labor for labor. There were numerous attempted reforms to require landowners to hire free citizens, but I don't recall about any systemic change being achieved before the fall.

At £3K, they're not going after gamers or even enthusiasts.

They're more likely going after creative professionals who're already all-in on the Apple ecosystem. Maybe product designers or architects, who want to show clients their designs in VR, and a slick Apple device will probably make a better impression than a PC VR setup with a bulky headset, cables everywhere, fans whirring, etc.

Is this really a game-changer? Technology adoption is all about tradeoffs. We already have location-based services and applications that are granular enough for most purposes. AR applications add sensory awareness and localized interaction at the cost of distraction and intrusiveness.

History is littered with inventions that were supposed to be the next telephone, computer, smartphone, etc., but most of them never materialize because they don't meet people's practical needs. And if AR/VR isn't the quintessential solution in search of a problem, I don't know what is.
Yeah-- that's always been the case in more technical crowds from my experience. I switched to HN from Slashdot like a decade ago because the Slashdot crowd seemed to get overrun with folks like that.

Recently, I most frequently notice it when people discuss potential job losses from AI automation. Regardless of whether or not this is good for society, it's absolutely bizarre how many folks around here (and some other places, like related subreddits,) gleefully dance on the grave of artists of all people. Some seem to disdain creatives wanting to participate in our economy using their hard-won skills and vocation, almost as if their doing so is oppressive to non-artists. Others seem to think it appropriate to act like they've just beaten them in a game. The majority of folks around here seem to act pretty reasonably about it but that vocal minority is obnoxious, to say the least.

Accuracy of their predictions aside, it's just a disgusting way to talk about people whose careers, they imagine, were just unexpectedly flushed down the toilet through no fault of their own. Unsurprisingly, these people usually have the least sophisticated, and least useful philosophical understanding of what art is. I imagine this is a cognitive limitation directly related to their empathic limitations.
Replace "some" with "lucky". Is that not what STEAM often tries to do, increase the probability of a positive outcome over a negative. Improve luck.

A person does not fight cancer. A person is lucky if the cancer treatments are effective and they survive. Modern day cancer treatments increase the luck of survival.

Some depression is self induced. Always and continually focusing on the negative of thee past. Seems like top post might of had this type.

Their [Nintendo] art-books are so cool - while a game-art-book isn’t necessarily unique to Nintendo I do appreciate the value in them being so well done and expansive. Don’t have the time to play Zelda sadly but the books have been a really neat thing to page through.

As a kid, going to Barnes and Noble and grabbing the Emerald/Sapphire/Leaf Green official strategy book was, and still is, one of the coolest “books” I have.

Recreate the Amazon experience in a store by asking for their name so you can show them different prices and offers, then write down everything the shopper looks at, adds to their basket, and after they've paid sell their information to advertisers so they will see adverts for the lawnmower they've just bought for the next few days.
Generally, it's machine generated. I've only ever typed it out manually if I needed something specific for a unit test and that only for small messages. It's tedious to do by hand.
I do think there is a use case in work - I can imagine sitting down and doing CAD in a 'real 3D' environment once the resolution and responsiveness are high enough (probably still with a keyboard and mouse).
Almost their whole supply chain is in China. If a Taiwan strait war breaks out, Apple is completely screwed anyway.
My only consolation in this shitstorm is that it's been expanded to include "all social media applications that collect and provide users' personal information or data to a foreign adversary, or a person or entity located within a country designated as a foreign adversary."

So, yeah. I guess it's time to shut 'em all down.

Now we just wait for the "I didn't mean American companies" retraction.
1. What problem with smartphones will AR device solve? So far it seems more bulky and requires you wear shit on your head. It automatically excludes everyone who already wears glasses or doesn't want to wear glasses. Anyone can put a smartphone in their bag or pocket.

2. Not Meta? They're the #1 VR company with 75% marketshare and a years-long head start in the industry. The Reality headset from Apple has no rumored/leaked feature that goes beyond what the Quest Pro already has on the market today.

3. Is distribution difficult? Meta distributes content. Valve distributes content. What's so hard about distributing content?

4. What early lead? Meta has the early lead.

Flying consumes a lot of energy, and flying by carbon combustion emits CO2 high up in atmosphere. As good as incremetal improvements like this neither really get fixed by technology like this.

Very roughly a plane emits CO2 equivalent of using 1MW of electricity per passenger in economy. So an intercontinental return flight can be equivalent to a whole's years worth of electricity usage....

The difference between the IMF and Chinese loans is that the IMF is a lender of last resort, whereas China's loans are for greenfield projects to country that are in perfectly fine financial situations.

The Chinese loans are attractive to leaders of countries because it allows them to advertise huge development projects, which are in many cases unsustainable and fiscally destructive, while pocketing most of the money, and letting the actual negative impacts, which show up a few years later, be dealt with by a future administration and the citizens of the country.

A closer analogy to the Chinese loans are World Bank loans, and while they have strict requirements, they've not really ever led to countries facing these massive debts, even though countries have been borrowing from the World Bank for far longer than from China.
These are self emitting, it will have the good things of OLED without its degradation and probably more brightness.
> Will it be possible from them to find another job without significant training/education?

This to me is the core problem. We give people in their lives really one chance to skill up. Basic skills through secondary education and then a period afterwards when you have no social responsibilities to go to college. If you need to retrain 15 years down the road, there is no support for supporting your family for you. If you try to pad your costs to sandbag for the eventuality of having to leave your industry for a couple of years to upskill, then some will take that as your margin and undercut you.
And for those of us who drive minivans, there are huge areas that you just can't see without a back up camera. You still look out windows and check all your mirrors, but being able to see the ground behind your car is important.
For sure, I'm not meaning to denigrate IMSLP, as it's a great project that offers access to so much material that's otherwise a pain to get to. I was just trying to make the distinction that when I want the highest-quality materials I can find for performance or study, that's not where I'll find them. But it's wonderful for quick easy access, invaluable for browsing and making finds when you're far from any university library etc.
I mean that's precisely how Ireland raised their GDP, they took all US companies and offered them low tax deals, making the rest of EU upset. Now they probably burned through all that money and are trying to outsmart those corps to get more money from them. Tax offices always project the same or higher income for the next year and when they get hit, they need to squeeze it out from somewhere.
