why would software companies cut themselves off from the supply? that's just bad business.
Which one would you suggest starting with?
I've never really understood what this is supposed to do. What does it check, and why can't malware fake it out? What are the use cases for running it?

In particular it's pretty easy to build a malicious bootloader that interposes on EFI variables (like secure boot config) and reports that they contain things that they don't contain.
I feel really reassured when the Lyft driver who picks me up is a woman. When your service is set up in a way that makes women feel comfortable picking up total strangers and driving them around the city, you know you're doing something right.
Thanks Max, I should have made that more clear. By 'processed' I intended not eating packaged foods (cereals, frozen food, bread with lots of preservatives, etc.)

Basically, starting with fresh ingredients and cooking food yourself. In some areas, I have found inexpensive restaurants that do this. There was a vegetarian restaurant my wife and I liked in Milpitas California, about 10 miles from the Googleplex, that I would like physically moved to the town I live in :-) Seriously, you could look back in the kitchen and see lots of fresh food, food was made to order, and their prices were low.

We like to cook, but I realize that not everyone has the time to cook from fresh ingredients.
Or perhaps we're seldom willing that level of resources without great pressures. Even the much lower current US expenditures on research have been shown to be hugely rewarding economically we've kept cutting them. Pressure inducing behavior changes isn't quite the same as evolution, it happens on a much shorter time scale and isn't likely to follow the same curves when you remove the stimulus.
"Spolsky says that two-thirds of its revenues today come from recruitment services, via its Stack Overflow Careers site, and one-third from advertising."

I found this very interesting. Stack Exchange is an insanely useful service, but I struggled to figure out how they would monetize it. (Similar to Wikipedia) They're received enough money that exit valuation expectations are high. I guess the cash flow projections from these are enough.
While I agree with your sentiment, saying „maybe you were in diapers“ makes your argument look weak.
From their README:

Features:
* [...]
* Headerchain implementation (Blockchain with headers only)
* [...]

This makes Haskoin more of an SPV client rather than a full-node client.
Would give all those pilots something to do and I'm sure it couldn't hurt fuel prices.
It depends what you're doing. If you need to write your own kernels, or have small networks where the framework overhead is significant, then it's way faster than Tensorflow (unless you implement your own Tensorflow OP in C++/Cuda, but that's way more painful than just implementing it directly in Flux/Julia). It's hence quite nice for research on new architectures. Flux's autodiff also handles more language features than TF or PyTorch's.
As William Gibson once said “The future is already here. It’s just not evenly distributed”.

First mover advantages are less becoming of an advantage because of how fast information travels. The other obstacle with being first movers is the amount of effort needed to first educate the market on the new way of doing things. Traditionally, first movers had an advantage because followers couldn’t move as fast and wasn’t able to piggy back on learnings as easy as they can now.
Yeah, that is my guess too. But at least VS code can save your workspace in atom you have to install a package to do that. To programmers it might look like flexibility but to non programmers it just looks like a chore.
They were spies anyways:
"Foreign news outlets in China are barred from directly employing Chinese nationals. They are instead employed through the Beijing Personnel Service Corporation for Diplomatic Missions, which is affiliated with the foreign ministry."
This programmer, Mr. Ruud Helderman, is like Cool McCool, "Danger is my business!". For example, the parser, function matchParam:

OBJECT *obj;
par->tag = src;
par->distance = *src == '\0' ? distNoObjectSpecified : distUnknownObject;
forEachObject(obj)
...

The initialization of the obj variable received an obliviate spell.

Also function parseAndExecute (). The way he deal with invalid input is, epic:

static const COMMAND commands[] =
{
{executeQuit , "quit"},
{executeLookAround, "look"},
...
}
for (cmd = commands; !matchCommand(input, cmd->pattern); cmd++);
return (*cmd->function)();

It's not AirBnB. It's again society kicking down. Many more people now travel and use AirBnB, because it made travel cheaper. The downside is that housing got even more complicated.

However, building new supply is very much demand driven. And AirBnB pushed up demand, which lead to more units built. (Probably some hotels were not built, etc.)

This "parasite" thinking is just impotent rage. The real problem is the lack of housing supply. City dwellers are rather resistant to change. Development is noisy, draws more traffic, casts a shadow, etc. Yet most of them are also renters.

It's the classic participation asymmetry. The vocal minority trumps the silent majority.
> if anyone doesn't capture or move anything in 50 moves its an draw

You didn't quite state that right--every move something moves, so it is not possible to go 50 moves without moving anything. :-)

The rule is 50 moves without a pawn moving or anything being captured.

Also, it can be a draw, but it does not have to be. When the last 50 moves have been without a pawn move or a capture, the player on the move can claim a draw if he wishes, but does not have to do so.

Recently, FIDE added a 75 move rule. It is similar to the 50 move rule, except that it is a draw even if both players wish to continue the game. (They also did a similar thing with the 3-fold repetition rule, which like the 50 move rule is only a draw if a player claims it. There is now a 5-fold repetition rule that draws even if neither player wants to claim a draw).
What 'unqualified' and 'unevidenced' opinion?
Yep. It remains to be seen whether or not they release SailfishOS for the N950. I sure hope so.
I seriously doubt FFOS can do something like the Ubuntu Edge in the next 2-3 commercial cycles.

Canonical has been working for years on polishing a ARM distribution, and FFOS is just starting now and the amount of work needed to use a FFOS device as a computer is (today) non-trivial; plus you'll need some support from at least a hardware vendor, and carrier interested in selling the device/having the device in its own network
Glad it does.
What if they picked a goal they purposely thought they wouldn't reach to test the market on a kickstarting platform and prevent a third-party marketplace from taking a percentage of sales?

EdgeBSD is a new member of the family of BSD-based Operating Systems, starting development with the current NetBSD codebase with Git for Source Code Management. Package management is based on pkgsrc.

Objectives

The primary goal of EdgeBSD is to provide an ambitious environment for working as a bigger community together on the NetBSD Project. This will be achieved thanks to a more modern development infrastructure, while taking a more aggressive stance on integrating and enabling features.

Ultimately, EdgeBSD should be just as fun and attractive as a Research & Development platform while delivering a modern, robust, and industrial-grade system for all ranges of computer devices.
First steps

The preliminary plan looks as follows:

* existing features will simply be enabled and used by default (SSP, ASLR, modular kernels and Xorg, full disk encryption, securelevel...);

* a release with these features will be delivered, based on the latest stable NetBSD branch.

Every meaningful contribution will be proposed back to the NetBSD Project.

Longer term

EdgeBSD should be as attractive a platform as possible, and use the advantages of its existing codebase to experiment on being a modern, safe, and portable Operating System. This vision currently includes:

* advanced facilities for developers (patch management, build environments...);

* re-organization of the base system (Git submodules, packages...);

* a graphical installer;

* modern package management (signed packages...);

* alternatives to Xorg and default desktop environment;

* ready-to-flash images for embedded devices;

* virtualization of most components with the RUMP anykernel.

Community

EdgeBSD users and developers can be found on the #EdgeBSD channel on the freenode IRC network.

A web interface for the Git development trees can be found at git.edgebsd.org.

More services are being brought up and will be provided soon (mailing-lists, wiki...).
Hosting

EdgeBSD is primarily hosted in Germany, Europe.
I would never need to write in more than one language in the same message.

Bon Appetite! Wait, are those quesadillas of surimi?

Ok, this was an exaggerated example using French, English, Spanish and Japanese (although most people would consider the message as English only due to the fact that the words/concepts don't exist in English).

But being honest I find myself often writing messages that combine words of different languages because the words/concepts doesn't exist in the language I'm writing.

In the past I didn't even had to think about it, because I simply wrote what I wanted to write, but the fact that I'm forced to struggle with text prediction has made me put more attention in those details.
You have an authoritarian attitude. You have a particular opinion about how scrollbars should be, and you would gladly force your opinion upon me, if you could. Now, sure, that's a trivial matter. But I have a problem with the attitude. In any case, I am glad that, at least for now, I am entitled to my opinion, and and you are to yours, and I think that's great.
I think you guys are doing a great job. Thanks!
The unintended side-effects of taking that many supplements... mind boggling. And, IMO, stupid.
That doesn't work in Germany and probably not in other EU countries.

Cookie law shows that Europe will go after these small things. (But also that their "solution" might be stupid.)
> All terrorists suck

Being the descendant in a family that was host of several terrorists, I have to disagree with you. See once the war was over and nazi germany got booted out, all those terrorists in my family instantly turned into resistance heroes.

Turns out those terrorists in my family were just ordinary people who got into this for reason as simple as having a bike allowing them to move around and relay messages, sort of an internet over bike and some of them got caught and executed for that.
It really wasn’t ‘just a joke’ though. There is a whole range of discussion to be had on the resources used by crypto - and if you can make a quip and also commentary I see that as valuable. Is it the pinnacle of HN comments? Not at all. But does it deserve to be moderated? Not in my book because it does bring up a valuable point of discussion.
It seems crazy that there would be visa restrictions on developers, when Silicon Valley seems to be short of them (good developers) at the moment (see Google's 10% pay rise and them squaring off with Facebook for employees etc.)
That often can be a problem with Hard SF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_science_fiction) the characters usually take the back seat. There also was definitely some loose plotting in there.

All that said Red Mars is essential the canonical book when it comes to Mars colonization. Some excellent ideas are imaginatively explored within.
Any startups have experience with Splunk? Seems like it might not be too expensive if you're not massive, and some of their demos are impressive.

Wow, I had no idea! I don't think the SLC scene is nearly as fantastic as that, but it's coming along. Do you think being an EIR at a small venture firm would help or hurt my image in the eyes of those kind of bay area VCs?
If that list of plagiarized articles is accurate, she certainly seemed to have it coming, but you'll have to forgive me if I can't feel awesome about the victory of asymmetrical internet mob justice over a small-time regional magazine.

God forbid they ever smell blood in the water you're swimming in.
Surely it depends on the gamer? If you like Angry Birds over Modern Warfare, then maybe it's a good move, whereas if you prefer Fallout 3 and iPad is probably a worse (and more expensive) move than an Xbox 360.
It can help prevent background processes (like disk indexing or manpage index updating) from interfering with interactive processes.
Very good point. I'll make sure that's clearly delineated.
Best advice I've ever heard:

"End the fight as fast as possible."

This isn't the movies. There are no "cool moves". If you have never done it before, striking another person is emotionally difficult. Your biggest problems are fear, self-doubt and above all, hesitation. Make each blow count. If you swing, do it with the intention of ending the fight with the one hit. Most likely your first swing will be half-strength as your mind deals with the shock of the situation, your own moral issues, fear etc. Either run away or end the fight as fast as possible.

Ps.. I've never been in a fight. Never been bullied. Don't go to bars and don't drink. So what do I know. But this has always seemed liked the best advice.
I wonder what if tlb has any thoughts on the robot?
WTH? Why downvote this? Especially as I've seen users on Gawker's sites, HN and reddit mention the same issue. Really? What is the purpose of downvoting this?
Article I is mostly about how the government is run, except for sections 8-10. Section 8 is powers of congress, which in summary are:

- Manage the economy
- Deal with foreign nations
- Deliver the mail
- Run a patent/copyright system
- Manage the military (standing navy, but the army is supposed to be justified every two years)
- Govern Washington DC

Section 9 puts limits and boundaries on the powers of congress.

Section 10 says that the states can't do the things Congress is responsible for.

Article II is about the president. The only real power he has is to be commander in chief of the military and to negotiate treaties. There's no new power here; the president is just in charge of a couple of items from Section 8.

Article III sets up the supreme court. No particular powers are granted here, just some definition of the responsibilities of the highest court.

There is nothing in here about "most" powers being granted (not reserved) to the Federal government. Most of the power was still with the states, who were responsible for their own internal governance and who influenced the Federal government through their Senators. The earlier federal governments were weaker than the one set up by the Constitution, but the Constitution did not establish a strong central government. The states were still largely independent, self-sufficient, and self-governing, and only gave up rights related to how they interacted with each other, other nations, and the scope of their military's.

I wouldn't say that States actively resist guidelines and best practices; I'd say they resist unfunded mandates. And the real point is that they're supposed to be able to resist. They're supposed to be self-governed and independent, and if the Federal government tries to tell the States to do something that is outside of the Fed's powers to dictate, the States should resist unless it happens to be a really good idea.

(I know this is naive, but) Corporations are made of people. All that money belongs to someone. So if those people decide to give that money to politicians, why does that make problems?
I'm not sure I understand. Can you provide an example?
Not necessarily always the case. Anyway, the author isn't suggesting that we do this in all areas of society. Just the ones that fit the experimental structure pretty well. Using the articles examples of education and crime -- seems pretty difficult to imagine criminals gaining advantages over each other b/c they had different rehab experiences.

Also, "[using] the difference in the laws to gain an ... advantage" does not equal state mandated discrimination. It's more of a state-accepted, or allowed, discrimination. State mandated discrimination is something a little more explicit, like when Zimbabwe's President Mugabe enacted laws that took land from one racial group and bequeathed it to another.
Wait what? I thought that Netcraft has confirmed: *BSD is dying
I'm plenty techy my friend just not a coder. I graduated with a degrees in electrical engineering and physics. I currently develop nano-materials for the military. I understand the culture and have friends that code, just looking for someone above and beyond, plus building a company with a friend is always the best strategy from personal experience.
They are including everything from diabetes to arthritis. If you look at statistics for disability, the numbers are a lot lower. I would also bet my lunch that the numbers are heavily skewed towards older demographics. This argument is a straw man at best.
If there is a bubble it's not much to worry about since the investments are fueled by savings and not debt.

Do you have any evidence of that? Have you looked at the price of money these days? 2%? 4%? Junk spread as low as 1-2? With QE the price of money is being artificially driven down to drive investment. The dirty little secret is that a lot of that investment comes from borrowing - why not if your numbers show you making 10%-20% and you can borrow for 5%-10%?

The last time the fed held the yields so low and pumped money supply so greatly was the dot-bomb. And a lot of that was shown to be driven by debt when post-mortemed.
So it's just a favor and you owe me one, I want my one now.

Seems to me that the 'moral' of the story is that the government should
have kept better records (of the design, and the manufacture process). So that they didn't have to start from
scratch. $69M is the price tag for our lack of foresight/incompetance.

The only other smaller moral is that we need to find a way for
classified things to be found when they need to be found, rather than
ending up in a bottomless pit because no one that has classification
knows that it exists or how to find it.
Well, if this is true, it's very weird.
Ideally, something like annotations (if/when it launches) could provide the necessary metadata for further filters. Agree that a small subset of Twitter users actually have a need for something like this.

That looks like a recipe site inside GitHub. What I wanted to make is a standalone website with git like branching and such. Everyone has their own little twist on recipes. I think it would be fun! I just need the time!
I didn't use "but" and I don't care if it's offensive. The WP community clutches its pearls anytime the slightest offense takes place. The CEO of a multibillion dollar enterprise just took the time to write a post about a failed marketing campaign of a competitor instead of letting that failure stand on its own.

He should relax. The person I was replying to should relax. Those offended in the WP community should relax.
Lone Gunman. Except all the technobabble would be bluster and paranoid conspiracy theories.

That's just how news works.
I think stakeholders, not shareholders, was intentional. Stakeholders (users, advertisers, whatever) might not be well served by a lack of edit button or whatever, but that’s only very tenuously connected to company value.

Shareholders care that they make their pennies of course. That seems to be (part of) the observation.

(Which as you say isn’t earth shattering but still worth remembering when you start wondering “why the heck is this company worth so much?” Because people think so. That’s all.)
Air gapping doesn't really work these days. It could make noises (even with capacitors) to transmit data, or cause voltage fluctuations that something else could read.

I can imagine bootstrapping a system with trusted hardware (assuming you could get it) by typing in a bootloader + SHA implementation by hand, then using a narrow hardware interface to copy a trustworthy, audited operating system kernel (assuming that also existed) from some other host. The bootloader could check the SHA of that, and then bootstrap the system.
The Rust authors condemned the world to play their stupid game of semantics when they created the `unsafe` keyword.

The feature turns off extra compile time checks. That’s it. It doesn’t mean the program is correct.

This program still allows potentially damaging things like `rm -rf /`. So, it’s not data safe. It’s unknown whether it’s secure safe either, since it’s not been audited and it’s still “alpha”.
Because the ultimate goal is code, not the plan?

I have seen people who can talk very nicely, but are lost once they actually have to touch the code. I have also seen people who are really bad at articulating their plans, but are OK with coding them.
Over here in the bay area some Japanese markets have "golden yolk" brand eggs that have deep orange colored yolks. I don't know if they're more nutritious / taste better but the texture is different. When frying these and regular store bought eggs in the same pan, they hold their shape better. The store bought eggs spreads out more and the egg white tears more easily.
Godot was the only engine out of Godot, Unity, and UE4 that I could even get VR to even work.
> Similar to construction workers; if they lose their job they cannot work as anything else.

But this isn't true right? It's not that Uber is eliminating taxi jobs, it's that they are competing with the status quo. Surely, if current drivers would lose their jobs, they'd be more than welcome to hop on-board the Uber train (or I guess I should say "Uber car"). Is there a reason that you think that these drivers wouldn't be able to become Uber drivers? I only have a cursory understanding of the whole taxi situation since I hardly ever use a taxi (although I happened to have called one to take me to the airport tomorrow morning).
how is that different from just getting drunk?
i suggest drinking with your friends (if you have any) the experience is also truly mind-changing - all that without the risk of becoming psychotic because of substances abuse

while moderately drunk analogies are created uninhibited, now Hofstaedter says that analogies are the core of cognitions, so much for that.

And now i am wishing everybody here a happy new year ;-)
