I agree that it's too simplistic to ignore the chain reaction of side-effects those changes would have. I also agree regarding creative solutions, though how would you even begin to put a user-friendly interface on that?

That said, it was not difficult to find an acceptable solution. As I started, I thought the moral of the exercise was going to be how hard a problem this is. As it turned out, I had a solution less than 2/3 of the way into the list.
In ideal world there would be no racial profiling at security checkpoints. In reality there is, even if it's not institutionalized. The whole security escalation from 9/11 is related to hostilities from people of Middle-Eastern origin, and deep down every TSA guard knows that. TSA might have policies in place to avoid profiling, but everyone knows that it's planes from Saudi Arabia that trigger bomb scarces, it's Yemeni flights that are checked extra good, and it's overwhelmingly Arabic names on the no-fly list.
US is also creating dollars at all time highs. As money supply increases, asset prices inflate
As a worker, you want "complications" in that relationship, because in its natural form, the balance of power is extremely lopsided toward the employer.
Since we're trying to use human-understandable units for measuring energy inputs, It's also the same amount of energy that is necessary to boil 600 pots of soup.
I'm glad that worked out for you, but having VC backed SV Unicorns become _the_ social safety net seems very wrong to me.
By the time multiple people were mining, the software was mature enough to keep your coins (I suppose this is true anyway).
The language laws regarding signs state that french must either be the first and most prominent language on signs or the only language on signs.

This applies to text and common nouns. Not cities, trademarks or proper names.

Home Depot is still called Home Depot on Quebec signs. While some companies will put a French noun next to their English names, this isn't required.

As for a sign with Three Rivers, Trois-Rivières is a proper name, you don't usually translate those just like we don't translate people's name.
The problem of guns is a bit deeper than iterated prisoners dillema (or actually, more literate).

If you have a gun and I have a gun I have to take into account that you may use it. Which motivates me to preemtivly use it to prevent you from killing me. Of course you can think the same way and I can think that you can think the same way.

Either way, if we both have a gun and I want to maximize my chance of staying alive (thus, fulfilling my survivial instinct), I should shoot.

The difference between that and Nash's equilibrium is quite drastic in that: a) large scale is in play triggering empathic/humanistic thinking b) the person that is in position to use it is usually less desperate and or in personal danger, so it's more "you kill my people" than "you kill me".

So, while I understand your logic, I would argue that the purpose of developing a weapon is to enable killing someone. The purpose of developing TOR is to enable privacy and anonimity.
Good to know what witch-hunt enabling policies are still in full force. I was getting a bit worried there with all this talk of free-speech and forgiveness.

Burn them all!

This is such a lazy argument that I'm so tired of hearing applied to quasi-public services. Maybe Twitch isn't a great example, but a few social media sites are. They might not be the government, but they're platforms with billions of people on them. Justice Thomas recently pointed out that we'll soon have no choice but to grapple with this distinction and determine how principles like the First Amendment apply to non-governmental public forums. I think it's a bit naive to hand wave it away as "if it's not the government, the principles of free speech don't apply." Maybe not legally... yet... but when people complain about this, it's the spirit of the 1A that they're concerned about, and I hope that some forthcoming legal doctrine will provide some legitimacy to their concerns so I can stop hearing this trite counterargument of "muh facebook isn't the government."
The trick is to get drivers to follow those markings. Where I live I see cars/trucks regularly park on bike lanes with little repercussion. Add to that a hostility between drivers and cyclists sharing the road; this might just be an issue where I live (Toronto)

Cycling lane poles would be ideal, but a lot of drivers push back on this since they see it as precious space being taken away from them.
The early work (including this RFC) was done on 36-bit machines, and no unix machines would be on the net for more than half a decade (and it was at least another decade, and a conversion of the net to IP, before they were a significant number).

So probably not an appropriate choice.
I've never understood why bicyclists can't just use the sidewalk for most of the commute. I get that it becomes impractical in dense areas where people are actually walking but most of the roads I travel along have vacant sidewalks.
I can't speak for the particular interviewer at hand, but when I was interviewing people with whiteboard questions, I was interested not in the result, but in the way they think and approach the solution. So, if I were you in that particular situation, I'd start with simply laying out how do I think CSS rules will work out for the problem at hand, maybe used a marker to draw a simple style inheritance diagram for the particular DOM tree, etc., and would just turn the whole thing into a conversation.

If the interviewer would demand exact solution for the problem on the whiteboard, then probably it's time to part your ways and go to the interview with another company.
Got to reboot to squeeze every ounce out for playing Dark Forces!
Wow! That was annoying. Don't click this link while on the phone. No idea what the plugin does, I closed the window as soon as the website screamed at me.
Yes it's their fault for using their own name. It's not the fault of the people keeping creepy dossiers on random customers that creates this hazard.
The invetor's slides say that the only time the analogy breaks down is with ungrounded capacitors, though its unclear to me what exactly that means (I don't really feel like thinking too hard about it). See slide 17
http://www-control.eng.cam.ac.uk/~mcs/lecture_j.pdf

There are actually a few different analogies you can make between electrical/mechanical devices. See the top table "Key Concept: Analogous Quantities". This is part of the reason why I don't feel like thinking too hard about what the inventor means when he says the analogy "breaks down" with ungrounded capacitors.
http://www.swarthmore.edu/NatSci/echeeve1/Ref/LPSA/Analogs/E...

The inventor has created a "new analogy" where the inerter is a capacitor. I read your post as saying the old analogies don't work. Is that correct?
I wish other athletes from other sports did the same!
I was going to write a snarky comment like: "This is what, Show HN is for..."

But then I realised this thread is different. This is for projects that are In Development, and people are more likely to post things that aren't finished, so I think that's a great idea!
On WPQuestions.com, we corralled our friends and gave them the money to ask some of the first questions. In fact, of the first 10 questions on the site, I think 6 were from friends of ours. All the same, during the first few hours we were open, we did get one question from a total stranger, and by the end of the day we had revenue of something like $5, which allowed us to joke that we had made more money on our first day than Twitter had made during its first 2 years. And now that we are rolling our software out for others to use, I've been giving the same advice to the people on our waiting list: be ready to line up the first few transactions yourself, because the first few are the toughest. You need to create the momentum yourself. WPQuestions.com has now had 606 paid questions, and we haven't needed to force our friends to post questions since the first week, many months ago. But I think it was essential that we put some friends up to it that first week. Mind you, this wasn't totally faking it, since most of the questions were real questions that our friends were struggling with.

One thing I still do (I did it just this morning in fact) is increase the prize for a customer, when that customer has had a problem with the site, and we pay for the increase out of our own pocket. For instance, just today, I added to the prize for this question: http://www.wpquestions.com/question/show/id/1160 . But I do not regard that as faking it, I simply regard that as good customer support and good customer relations.
I run https://snipt.net, one of the sites listed as being blocked, and I've never received any communication from anyone with the Indian government or ISPs. So they're not proactively doing anything to unblock these sites, as far as I can tell.

This used to be true but is not anymore, look at the following warning erowid has added on its LSD vault and LSD FAQ.

NOTE: Some blotter and liquid LSD being sold in 2013 in the Americas and Europe actually contained NBOMe compounds such as 25I-NBOMe. These chemicals are active under one milligram, but can cause strong effects even on a single 1/4" (6mm) square. The blotter or liquid with NBOMe compounds is usually identifiably bitter, where LSD-containing liquid or blotter has a very mild metallic flavor or no flavor at all.

ADULTERANTS:

[Erowid Note 2014: Note that the following section is no longer accurate as of 2010. Please see Spotlight on NBOMes: Potent Psychedelic Issues for a little discussion of other substances now commonly sold on blotter. The Erowid Crew now estimates that there are over a dozen different chemicals sold on blotter the same size and styles as "acid-style blotters" of the past. These include NBOMes, NBOHs, etizolam, phenazepam, AL-LAD, LSZ, Bromo-Dragonfly, DOM, DOC, DOI, and others.]

Nice, Its doesnt connect from your listings to their process page. I understand these carriers dont have apis but you can scrape then mimic their datasets so it can pull results and data on their process page. Cheers
I live in Southern part of India, I can access archive.org or github or pastebin from here. I don't think its a complete ban. May be some ISP providers blocking these sites. (Checked in some code to github few minutes back :D ) I hope they will revoke this move in upcoming days.
Flask + angular. Flask + sqlalchemy is just everything you need for a basic backend ( haven't tried django rest yet) and angular is now a de facto standard unless you need something special.
So do HTML tables but that doesn't make them a good idea.
Good! Now, let's ditch indefinite and definite articles. Yet more unneeded fluff.
> - Call their API through ipv6, because they may not yet have a proper, ipv6 subnet-based rate limiter.

Nice tip!!

> -- From a purely practical perspective, start with a baremetal transaction-isolation-less database like Cassandra/ScyllaDB. Don't rely on googling "postgres vs mongodb" or "sql vs nosql", those articles will all end in "YMMV". What you really need is massive IOPS, and a multi-node ring-based index with ScyllaDB will achieve that easily. Or just use MongoDB on one machine if you're not in hurry.

Somewhat ironically Elasticsearch would probably work really well for this too (just make sure your elasticsearch isn't open to the world on the internet!).
It would be really surprised if this were compliant with the GDPR. I live in the US but I tried email accounts of relatives in Europe and they had data in there.
I guess I didn't make myself clear either.

If there's an inner join, then there is a matching row. It will be counted by a normal COUNT( * ).
On an outer join, columns in a 'missing' row will be represented as NULL.

You're saying you wish there were two NULLS, 'missing value in table null' and 'missing row in join null', and that you could count the first one?

Congratulations! You have discovered gas taxes ;-)
Serious question: as a beekeeper, aren't you a part of this problem? The bees you're keeping are themselves an invasive monoculture that is outcompeting native pollinators, and puts demands on acres and acres of surrounding flora, which is a point this article makes.
If you use gogoproto, it includes an extension to the protobuf spec, to override json tag for the emitted Go. https://github.com/gogo/protobuf/blob/master/extensions.md

Use it like:

...

Type myField = 1 [(gogoproto.jsontag) = "my-field"];
China has also not suffered a Japan style economic crash, even though The Economist has regularly predicted it would happen since the early 90s. Even though this is an economic anomaly that has to do with a very large percentage of the earth's population, somehow this development has escaped triggering any serious curiosity in western economics circles.

This lack of serious inquiry in the face of enormous empirical evidence that contradicts theory is what makes Economics a dying field.
What’s wrong with putting ideas in public and then discontinuing them means that no one will invest time or money in your products. If you were a printer manufacturer would you support whatever Google comes up with to allow Android devices to support printing without needing to write specific drivers?

Apple released AirPrint in 2010. AirPrint compatible printer still works with an iPad 1.
I gather they are used by some forms of program verification software. Beyond that, I dunno.
No, pressure is not pressure. There are two ways a fluid or gas can exert a force on another body: through normal pressure ("normal" here meaning the local normal perpendicular to the surface of the body at that point), and through shear forces, which are dependent (mainly) on the viscosity of the liquid, but also local fluid effects such as boundary layers etc can come into play.
A Coke can isn't intended to be a platform that others can make money on.
Interesting; it's probably an A/B test, since I'm not given that option. At the bottom left corner, my screen says, "Change background image."

EDIT: Actually, I selected a background, and then I was given the option to "Remove background image." Unfortunately, this just reset my background image to whatever Google had chosen for me.
Google just doesn't get visual design right, when it's a bit more than just a plain UI.

Chrome's themes are just ugly:
https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/index.html

Such are many of the background pictures Google is providing for the home page. It's sad.
The link at the bottom left saying "Remove background image" puts it back to normal. Proof: http://skitch.com/petercooper/d8t8h/remove

(Update: Seems this doesn't work for everyone!)
I just encountered this. It was giant pastel pigs. I said out loud, "Awe damn, there's bing in my google."
>I mean want to talk about Saudi Arabia, Israel, and China..?

Notice my comment about meaningless whataboutism's. The reality is that what's happening in Israel does not affect what's happening in the hellish political climate of Cuba.
I understand you have a ticket waiting for you at Miami, then?
Does this require a code change?
There were people calling it an inside job back in 96. The fact that you started paying attention to "truthers" post-2001 seems to be suggesting that you never knew a criminal conspiracy to commit murder was possible prior to someone on the television telling you to ignore what those people were saying.

If you want to ignore that the United States and its public officials regularly commit murder, and then cover up the evidence of a crime, just take a peek through your history books to see how many other countries/empires over the centuries have performed false-flag operations similar to McVeigh's bombing.
Clubhouse is an excellent example of a kill privacy by design system. Unethical business model, sell user data including recorded chats, do not tell users upfront to who you sell their data and every security principle of the last 25 years is missed. Blaming the bad anti-scraping mechanisms is far too simple. But apparently people using apps do think differently regarding privacy and freedom.
Good point, will think on that.
I'll believe it when I see it. I find Friendfeed simple and Facebook complex. Facebook can't become more like Friendfeed without giving up what makes Facebook Facebook. Friendfeed is first for people who use the rest of Internet. Facebook is for people who only use Facebook and the rest of the Internet secondarily.

It would be great if the Facebook news/activity feed worked liked Friendfeed, where highly active entries float to the top. So much good content gets buried on Facebook, since Facebook focuses on new entries, rather than ones that your network considers interesting (activity worthy, through comments and likes). I don't know what the system is by which Facebook decides to include things in the "Top News" list vs the "Most Recent", but the Top News is rarely fresh, the most interesting to me, or the most active.

It would also be great if Facebook had the kind of quality of integration with other sites that Friendfeed has. On Facebook, everything needs to be an application, with its own permissions that one needs to worry about. This seems to overly complicate the action "insert this content into my stream" that RSS enables. I originally disagreed with Friendfeed reducing the prominence of where a piece of content came from by removing the service icons, but now I think this properly leads the focus to the item itself rather than the service that was used. But Friendfeed's content hiding ability is still fine-grained enough allow management by service.

Friendfeed integrates with other sites through accepted standards, like RSS and Atom, or through a bookmarklet which the user controls. In order to integrate with Facebook, each website needs to be modified to work specifically with Facebook, which isn't portable to other social networking sites (which is, of course, in Facebook's best interest to lock you, and other websites, in).
Maybe not hosting content yourself, but embed it somehow into your website.
> echo("Hello world!")

I'm struggling to think how different it could be.

Remove the parens? print instead of echo? It's a fairly minor point. I'm fairly very sensitive on issues of visual clutter in syntax and this doesn't bother me in the slightest.

> I far prefer the set of cases to be indented from the case statement itself.

As mentioned elsewhere this is optional but I do agree

> And the "of" on each line is redundant cruft.

I suspect there might be a good reason for needing a keyword here. I would have to dig deeper to be sure though.

Anyway - I can tolerate both of those. Any language with significant white-space and no curly-brackets is off to a good start aesthetically in my books. Skimming through the tutorial shows remarkably few horrors even when doing some moderately advanced stuff e.g. http://nim-lang.org/tut2.html#generics
The 50mhz 486 in 1991 had about 9 years of use before total obsolesce. not bad
No no it's not bad faith, it's good faith. I'm not trolling, and I'm not invested in this idea- if you can make this whole house of cards collapse, more power to you.

Power stations are a special case of the more general weakness of Bitcoin- that it depends on resources only readily available under governmentally administered civilization- power, chips, software, maker culture. That gives determined government endless leverage to crush Bitcoin if it so choses.

If something about Bitcoin, say, energy use, turns enough heads to register high enough on political opinion surveys to give the impression that, say, an environmental angle at a Bitcoin ban could win an election or four, then, my friend- Bitcoin is gone. Off the top of my head:

- Cut Internet off of "rogue regimes" willing to continue mining
- Ban or highly tax specialized mining hardware
- Ban the use of electricity for mining
- Ban the use of the currency
- Ban the markets
- Heavily sanction programmers involved in cryptocurrency
- Lean on hardware vendors
- Direct sabotage

Or, better yet- just, as one single government, hint at considering any of the above measures, and watch the price tumble everywhere.

Of course, none of these things are done, because harming Bitcoin does not currently win elections.

However, if a centralized digital currency like Taler where edicted to exist- destroying that wouldn't win any elections, either. So, if you take the perspective of hard Realpolitik, Bitcoin's decentralized aspects simply are not the ones that really matter. The aspects that do matter- and which were copied by Taler- is that the one with the power should be heavily restricted by protocol.
The most important concept to understand about today's market is not short squeeze - it's gamma squeeze (which can lead to shorts being squeezed). It's about how traders got their hands on an unusual amounts of leverage (when you buy a call option, the market maker that sells it to you has to buy 5-10x the amount of stock in $$ value that it cost you to buy the option in order to hedge, and the closer the stock gets to your option price, the more hedging stock they have to buy)

GME, Tesla, all of the high-flyers and all the craziness of the last few months were driven by gamma squeezes and the YOLO call option buying of /wsb (with some hedge funds obviously jumping on board)
Jeremy Zawodny is also running 2.2.0 at Craigslist, so it's really the case of saying: you are in good company :)
I applied for the Tweetdeck role, and though they were talking about going through to round three, I didn't get it in the end.

They were all really great guys though, and you can tell they're in it for the love of making something useful. If you have Python, async web dev and messaging experience, I'd recommend talking to them.
yes, that is what i've done, or rather just log in, set things up, and then save a snapshot, repeat as needed. not sure this will speed things up in general as far as iterations, but may save the $0.10 you may spend setting up a workable vm.
It's a skill I've never managed to crack (perhaps in part down to my very unsteady hands). From what I've read, a lot of people buy pick guns expecting them to be a one-button solution, and are disappointed to find they can't open locks with them without training and practice.
Agreed, Microsoft will be 'cool' when it loses 90% of its users, actually becomes a leader in developing new innovative products and gains a resurgence through that.

Cool generally requires standing apart from the norm. When you're the biggest company in your market by a huge margin, you're the norm.
I love a good PayPal bashing as much as the next guy (I've had my own poor experience with them), but there is a significant amount of detail missing here.

It's unclear to me that you've actually contacted them - by phone, not via email or their online support gadgetry. Have you? If so, what (specifically) was their response?
Great example of a non-ergodic event. The outcome (odds of dying) when considering of one individual longitudinally is entirely different from the outcome when considering a population of individuals at a single point in time.

I don’t think this is a very interesting design and seems to rely heavily on stickers or printed pieces for a lot of the detail. Without those it would just be a tan panel. There are also exposed plate bottoms on many sides which are kind of an eyesore.
