Ah, interesting. Thanks for the clarification.

Unfortunately there were no desktop G parts (APUs) on the Zen+ architecture (as far as I know.) And they're not in the first round of Zen 2 either.

The 2400G, which I think is currently the top desktop APU, launched in Feb. 2018 and has four cores.

I'm the same but using Vivaldi while I wait...

Here's one with noise by day and night as well as a bunch of other metrics: https://berlin.placeilive.com/daynoise

Are you referring to the astronomer or the 5G user? ;)

For me the front page is the "last 24 hours" view on hn.algolia.com.

https://hn.algolia.com/?query=&sort=byPopularity&prefix&page...

It can also show the stories from arbitrary periods including single days like in the new "more" feature being discussed but it orders them by points rather than how long they were on the (real) front page.

The next sentence is: "At least not for mine."

For others, who may not have seen this reply to the same comment above, it's no longer required:

I've been using Vivaldi for a while and find it performs better than Firefox on my Mac, especially since version 2.0. I prefer the Firefox license, but prefer using Vivaldi.

I lived in on-campus student housing that had bathrooms like this (the locks on both sides of both doors version.) My friend was in the bathroom during a commercial break of X-Files and I locked him in there. Ha ha. So he knocked on my neighbour's door and got out that way, but he still needed to get back into my room from the public hallway. I was watching him through the peep hole in my door, and to taunt him I opened the door and quickly closed it again. The two problems with that were that the peep hole made it look like he was further away than he was and the door had a hydraulic arm on it and didn't close as quickly as I expected. Anyway, I put ice on my forehead for the rest of the episode and then went to the hospital for three stitches.

I'd say that the likeliness really depends on whose bathroom it is. ;)

It may vindicate the parent's method, but only up to the point where their child gets the job. It seems that the system will let the coddled individual get that far. I wonder what happens to the coddled people after that. Right now they probably have a hard time, but maybe the system is evolving to let those people, at least in some industries, stay in their bubble. (I hope not...)

Here's the rule from the transit system in Berlin:

"Children under four years of age may only use public transport if they are accompanied by a person who is at least six years of age."

Sennheiser sells lots of replacement parts for their headphones. In fact, it looks like I could nearly rebuild my entire pair of headphones from their spare parts:

The author downloaded 1000 tracks from each class, so they are evenly distributed.

Yes, it does. That's the norm in Germany because the words (in German) for job titles (eg: software developer) imply a gender. So instead of writing the full job title in both masculine and feminine they just write it once and then put (m/f) afterwards. Obviously it doesn't need to be there when the job title is written in English, but it often is anyway.

20.6% of Canada's population (circa 2011) is foreign born (compared to 12.9% in the US.)[0]

"In Toronto, three-quarters (75.8%) of its population consisted of people who were foreign-born or had at least one parent born outside Canada." [1]

Canada has a LOT of immigrants.

It's true that Canada doesn't have a lot of black or Hispanic people, but a quick look at a few sources suggests they have at least as many visible minorities as the US. (Both countries are close to 20% visible minorities, but I'm having trouble finding comparable numbers.) Most of Canada's visible minorities come from Asia.

For Canadians interested in learning about index-based investing I recommend the Canadian Couch Potato site[0]. If you don't want to put a lot of thought into it he has some sample portfolios, but also has a lot of resources for learning more. He's also very good about answering questions in the comments on his posts.

Here's a snapshot of what things are like in Berlin, Germany.

I dropped my 7 year old off at a new day camp (in the centre of the city) last week. They asked me if she was allowed to leave on her own at the end of the day.

Here are the rules for kids riding on the subway system:

"Children under four years of age may only use public transport if they are accompanied by a person who is at least six years of age."

That said, you don't see a lot of little kids travelling alone but it seems that the discretion is with the parents.

When I last used wireless mice they had two AA batteries and I found it a great relief to go back to a much lighter wired mouse. It hadn't occurred to me that newer battery tech might be lighter. Maybe I should take another look at wireless mice.

EDIT: The Logitech MX Master (a wireless mouse) weighs 145g including battery, and the M500 (corded) weighs 144g. That probably includes the cord, so the in-hand weight might be a little lower, but they're certainly close. Neato.

I think the expectation that you'll like it on the first try is low. Maybe they're hoping you'll get used to it. :)

Android added always-on VPN in 4.2.

With the job he's obligated to get up and do the work. People are counting on the delivery, whereas nobody else suffers if he sleeps in and skips the gym. (Plus gym memberships cost money where this generates money.)

My mom has a newspaper delivery route that she doesn't need. She uses it for exercise and spends the money she earns on her YMCA membership, which she also uses for exercise...

She was selected as Carrier of the Month one time and was asked to answer the following questions so that she could be profiled in the paper:

What do you want to be when you get older?

What to you use the money for that you earn delivering the newspaper?

What are your favourite hobbies?

What is your favourite subject at school?

I only remember her answer to the first question, "wiser."

That reminds me of this story of a family who "invested" $100,000 in Beanie Babies:

As a developer working in Ottawa, I'd like to say that working for the government and working for a start-up are very different experiences. I don't think that the government takes so many developers away from the high-tech community here that an aspiring entrepreneur should consider them competition for employees. They're different kinds of jobs for different kinds of people.

I think there is a large concentration of talented people here who are far more interested in working in high-tech than working for the government.

Indeed there is. There exists Android malware that infects your PC with a Zeus variant and then the two work in concert to intercept your SMS-based two-factor authentication.

He claims that he was only asked about lawsuits from the previous 10 years but the Seagate lawsuit occurred in 1993 so he didn't feel obligated to mention it.
