This is cool. It would be improved by adding the CSS #controls { user-select: none } (with various vendor prefixes). A bit of refinement to how dragging is detected wouldn't hurt either.
And the inverse; if you buy at $200 and the stock is at $400 two days later there's a risk that the person you were buying it from has disappeared (maybe they were a short seller and went bust; maybe they got seller's remorse). So RH has to reserve not just the $200 you paid for it, but also another $200 to buy the share on the open market when the counterparty fails to deliver. That's why collateral requirements are based on volatility, not momentum.
I don't know why the first thing that came to my mind was that $40k/yr is about the same amount a grad student receives in the US (including stipend, tuition waivers, health insurance etc.).
This will be hundreds, if not thousands of years from now.

It's going to happen sooner than you think. Humans are bad at exponential change. It will be under 100 years from now.
The two unions I’ve worked for before getting a job in tech were terrible.

At one I was physically threatened with violence for being too productive and the other allocated work times/roles by seniority instead of ability. If you happened to not be friends with the union president, then you better really enjoy cleaning the bathrooms.

You seem to be under the impression that unions are always good and that certainly isn’t the case. I’ve had zero good experiences and I’m not keen to have another bad experience, thanks.
Funny how you phrase this to stand on your podium, wise man. I have no issue partitioning violent people from society and that's my final view. You actions have consequences.
Ah yes, the classic Radio on Internet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzAdXyPYKQo
I wonder if there's any notable currency where you have to support fractions. Like 1/3 of a "whatever".

Edit: Found the right search term. "Non-Decimal Currency". It's a thing, at least historically.

What makes you think their salaries are inflated and others are not lowballing?
I'm sure you have - but not after income taxes. All taxes that are taken before you get your gross (before income tax) pay, is typically what is quoted in Euerope.

E.g. My employer pays X1.25 for my "before tax" salary of X because there is 25% payroll taxes/fees.
I pay 35% taxes on that, so my net is 0.65x. Is X "before"or "after" taxes here? It's after payroll taxes and similar deductions, but before income taxes (which I pay myself).
> How does this work.

Actually being awake helps.

I am not making a time argument alone, it’s very important but not the only effect. Lines of longitude converge at the poles. the same effect means lines of latitude get shorter as you move north from 40,000 at the equator, to ever shorter distances moving north until it’s a point at the North Pole.

As the coverage area is a sphere in reality, it should look stretched east/west on a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection as you move north. That pushes full 24/7 coverage slightly south on a 400 satellite constellation. But still enough to cover the continental US at 400 satellite while having gaps at the equator. This is intended behavior as it increases redundancy over the US and population density and incomes are lower at the equator.

As to the US vs North America again I was trying to say different things. The equator pass through South America therefore all of North America benefits. However, only the continental US benefits enough for a 400 satellite network vs 1200 to provide 24/7 coverage.
I don't think you've made a strong case for mass surveillance having a significant effect of self-censorship.

The study you cited [1] is an interesting read, but its applicability to mass surveillance is questionable. Being informed that your opinions on a specific topic - of which you are acutely aware are being immediately recorded - will definitely be reported to the police, is not the same as the more vague notion of some unknown entity recording and possibly analysing your everyday words. There may be a perceptual difference between personal surveillance and mass surveillance, which is not addressed in that study. As an analogy, consider the ubiquitous, largely unnoticed CCTV coverage in urban areas, versus the acutely uncomfortable feeling of being followed down the street - the two perceptions are quite different.

That survey of writers linked by Schneier [2] describes its limitations - namely, that it is not really representative of all writers, only those that self-selected (from an email sent to them on the topic of government surveillance) to answer the survey, and that the sample sizes are relatively small. Also, the writers surveyed are all affiliated with the organisation conducting the survey, an advocacy group for freedom of expression. This may well bias the results towards that group rather than writers in general. Indeed, the report authors explicitly state: "the findings cannot be generalized to represent all writers in any given region or level of freedom."

Another point specific to students is that, if they choose to pursue an academic career, it necessitates publishing research to a wide audience (wider than their professional colleagues, at least). Surveillance involves the intrusion of privacy, but publication is essentially the opposite of privacy, so how can it be negatively affected by surveillance, and mass surveillance in particular?

The availability of (often worse) alternatives does not mean a transition will not destroy billions of euros worth of effort and disruption of business processes.

I am fairly sure the backlash to losing Google would be significant, even government-ending.
> the note would continue with a warning instructing you not to leave that jug in the cool cupboard for 21 days, or it would turn into wine

I read (cannot find the source now though) that's similar to today's homemade alcohol/beer in Japan, where there's a limit of what % of alcohol you can make at home. So all the official instructions include a last step: "mix in water until the alcohol percentage is below the legal limit". Of course people just ignore this to have stronger alcohol.
> Researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory have recently designed an integrated circuit (IC) that integrates silicon quantum dots with conventional readout electronics. This chip, introduced in a paper published in Nature Electronics, is based on a 40-nm cryogenic complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology that is readily and commercially available.

This allows for simultaneous read of multiple quantum devices connected by a single wire and at different frequencies
They never ask for less, their job is to ask for more.
valgrind is your friend!
I can do this when away from home as well (as in opening the door to some trusted person/friend/family member), after checking through the camera who they are and speaking to them. Or I can tell the Amazon courier to just toss the package over the fence since I know it's not a fragile item (yeah in Europe we usually have fences around houses, no free access to the front door even in suburban settings). I know being a Luddite is the new cool thing on HN but hey, there are nice possibilities in home automation.

Anyway as a Doorbird owner myself, I'm a bit scared about the possible findings of mjg59, I only hope that they can be fixed if a CVE is eventually raised and that they are not architectural.
I hope Mark gets the Haskell job he wants!
Maybe not putting "Apple" in the headline, but simply blogging about something that's bloody obvious.
I was thinking to grab the data either from Yahoo finance or Google finance. If I remember right, it allows me to get data from past 5 years only. Do you have recommendation for any other resource?
For that I usually use pushd.

I think we're going to see a lot of papers like this. In a quantum gravity universe, we know there's no singularity at the big bang. Therefore, scientists are going to be looking through ways that we can see through to the other side of the big bang.

Even if their particular universe model isn't correct, there must be other models in which similar phenomena could occur. Interesting stuff.
Why would the kids of this generation or the next few prefer to play real life vs virtual life? If anything, technologies in the future will allow one to better enjoy the virtual experience, complete with realistic sensations and freedom to modifying their world and create their own adventure. All for $9.99 a month.

Remember, real life is tough. Clicking a mouse is easy.
I am in 3 months of sustained running. I don't know how I did it, but I always run 5 days a week. Really, I run on days when I have free time.

Once upon a time, I failed to fill my running quota for Friday, so I ran two time on Saturday.

However, all my other efforts doesn't have these kind of runs, including my startup. I don't know why that is, though.

On the other hand, I am drawing every single day, when I don't have classes for a week or so. So every night, I basically upload and sell my arts for microprofit. It's rewarding and addicting like an MMORPG.

I don't know why I am able to make certain things into habits. It's just weird. I always code on and off for five years though.

Starting is sure hard. Sustaining activities are even harder.
Just because you can ascribe a more sensible interpretation to a Bible verse doesn't change the nature of how it's usually taught. The verse says essentially you can never love enough, no matter how considerate you are towards others you can always do more, and the ultimate example would be Jesus who loved us enough to die horribly. Even if you try to follow this, you'll come up against people who simply do not deserve your care/assistance, but by this doctrine you must not only help them but strive to harbor positive loving emotions towards them whilst doing so (and no, that doesn't mean writing poems, but it does mean feeling love in your heart and limitless good will). A real blast.
> I am wondering how they could simulate the loss of an AZ. Any ideas?

Kill all instances in an AZ?
That's great: I'd love to see more "enterprise" software written this way.

But isn't this just a plea for a small design document up front? Not a fluffy mountain of "Word" format piffle, but some plain language explanations.
Perhaps they have groups set up in their "Chaos Monkey" tool? Like a sort of take down ALL services in GROUP B type of command?
I've been thinking about this. I might try out making all the primitive functions understand promises. So not lazy evaluation per se, but having the core library transparently deal with asynchronous values. Maybe monads would help but that really requires a decent type system.
Which companies are better than Bose?
I spent 2 week-end there (Valparaiso and Santiago), so I'm not really informed. But all my friends who emigrated from Argentina to Chile (that's 5 people) are now working at service companies related to the mining industry.
Is this some sort of snide commentary on how much more limited of a language php is? It doesn't seem like it could possibly be meant for production. I guess I could see it being a fun learning project, tho.
For internals and technical aspects, checkout CMU's Database Systems lectures on Youtube. They also invite developers from new databases to explain their main ideas.
There is already a fork, it's called Session, but it's decentralized, so there's no requirement for servers to be stood up other than introducer nodes AFAIK. https://getsession.org/
So the most equal solution is no school for anyone.

Of course, that likely has more impact on the kids without family support than those in families that can manage some education on their own, and actually makes inequality worse than starting with best effort and working to fill in the gaps.
Charity for water is an idiotic as well as dangerous idea .

Water is a precious commodity and it should be treated as such. You can live without Oil but not without water.

If you want to help people with their water shortages, give them money to buy clean water. If you are digging a well for them or any other such service, let the community pay for it. You will find that your wells and your equipment will last longer.

Once people understand precious water really is, they will stop wasting it and polluting it.

Moreover, India does not have shortage of fresh water sources and they also have ample rainfall, India has a shortage of efficient storage and distribution of clean water.
What's special about driving in tunnels?
If you have access to the dev console I highly recommend setting the max-width of the body to 40em. The text spans all the way across the screen by default.
I've also made a quick version for hacker news, but not very interesting for now :) http://www.realtime-search.com/algolia/-JcHI9QL5cj4e_ZDztzN#...
It also has a dead-simple rule - one should give way to everyone who is already on it.
The first episode, in the first series, I think does a great job of shocking you.

For me, I enjoy that for the most part, the plots are plausible and not that far fetched. It doesn't require a huge leap of the imagination to get to scenarios that are outlined.

Plus I think the special effects are fantastic in their subtlety.
Wow, I'm the autor of 0bin.net (it's an encrypted pastebin written in python). Kinda feel weird to see your (really) small pastebin get caught in that. It's insane.

Well, it's open source and easy to install, anybody can duplicate it if needed so I guess it's ok.

Maybe we should add some way to replicate one instance content to other trusted instances to avoid this problem.
I assume this is a play on the "Thanks Obama!" meme/joke in the US?
According to the filing, you would have to buy them in sets of 50,000.
If this is something of interest to you, join your local CopWatch organization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copwatch

Bruce is absolutely right: if nobody watches the watchmen, you can only expect trouble... filming police prevents things like this: http://www.gifbin.com/bin/112009/1258398254_police-brutality... and this: http://www.gifbin.com/bin/1238065175_cop-pushes-biker.gif
It's a strategic retreat right? lol.

It's a surrender, they're going to another battlefield in an effort to try to save themselves, but have already given up the big money to Facebook. Facebook is the next generation human and social database, myspace is... a music discussion site?
The bill in question is COICA – "Combating Online Infringements and Counterfeits Act"

EFF has this to say: The main mechanism of the bill is to interfere with the Internet's domain name system (DNS), which translates names like "www.eff.org" or "www.nytimes.com" into the IP addresses that computers use to communicate. The bill creates a blacklist of censored domains; the Attorney General can ask a court to place any website on the blacklist if infringement is "central" to the purpose of the site.

They go on to list sites which might be affected, including HN's own little darling, Dropbox.
It is nearly impossible to get UI/UX or 'flow' right the first time. You'll go through a few iterations. But it is best to whiteboard your options or use something like balsamic to play with a few of your potentials and see what feels best.
Show it around to friends and get feedback.

Then build. go back to those people you showed it to and add a few people to the list and watch them interact with it, get feedback. Repeat.

At first the changes may seem minor, and then when you really get it out into Beta, and start getting more feedback and ideas, that's when things will really start moving.

I took a look at your site, and I think you are coming at it from the wrong angle.
You go right to 'how to get started' but I don't even know what it is yet or why I'd use it. Doosra Cricket means nothing to me. 'Pick a fixture' also has no meaning. What's a 'fixture'. I may not be your target market, but anybody who comes across your site should know what the purpose is without trying to decode your lingo.

Then you go into asking for email right off the bat with a sign-in, before I can even start doing anything. That is not good. Let people see what is happening on the site, get them interested and then you'll get sign-ups.

Hope that helps
Heroin restricts your range. Joy increases it.
The difference between a format that adheres to some deterministically parsable syntax and one that doesn't is not something that I would characterise as "shit" or "not shit".
Because both the touch events standard assumes that you don't have a mouse, and the mouse events standard assumes that you don't have a touch input. They aren't designed to both be running at the same time.
By extension, spending too much time on Hacker News will make you unhappy. Get back to work! ;-)
Why not just use SMS/iMessage groups ?
Ultimately spectre mitigations mean fiddling with the speculative execution, which means a real paradigm shift microarchitecturally.

The literature is still very thin too, so we're still very much in the early days of these side channels.
You can save a part of the file, pipe a range of lines, or switch between files in less, too, and the commands are mostly the same as in vi. It'd sure be nice to be able to split the screen, though!
About as accurately as you yourself have.
There are more people downloading the app than deleting it. That is still positive growth.

Falling down in the app-store rankings two days after launch is a poor metric to use to determine the future of a company with years of burn still in the bank.
Sure. Otherwise they would fix it.

This sounds like an awesome idea. I checked the settings on my stock router, from my ISP, and it doesn't permit you to change DNS! Totally gutted. Time to get a new router, I think. Good advice though, thank you.
The point isn't the number of people dying. Its the chilling effect. Travel was way down after 9/11 due to fear. That has a much bigger economic effect than just the deaths.

In the 1970s there was no airport security. Airliners believed it would be cheaper to just pay off plane hijackers. That was before those hijackers started flying them into skyscrapers.
Comparing businesses/companies to meme stocks is the future, no doubt. Clubhouse is definitely inevitable, but I think the reason some people think it's overhyped is due to the incredulity of its popularity over it being simply a feature. Like, if someone built iMessage, for instance, and the whole world responding like the iPhone just launched. I think it just goes to show how low our collective human bar for real magic has fallen. Culture comes first, and I've never seen more beautiful memes than what the guys over at lot2046.com have been building (especially the recent update to their ark 1 trailer). Only time will tell when humanity will grow to understand how deep magic can go, and maybe respond more objectively to CH, which is just a feature. It answers the What as much as any billion dollar features companies do, like Uber, for instance. What we use to share ideas. What we use to hitch a ride. But the Why, that's a magic I think is largely absent nowadays. Why are we here? Who are we? Do you guys know any companies out there pursuing that in its crosshairs instead of simply scaling features?
I prefer ranges. Not all candidates are same even for the same job. If I hire an A player, I may give them a bit more to sweeten the deal. If I hire a B player (who is good enough for the role but is not an A player so far), I would negotiate the compensation a little early on as long as it is something the candidate B accepts.

Range gives you the floor (if they are honest). Let's say the range is 65k-85K, then its fair game to say that the best candidate may get 85K but a good enough may only get 65K or say 70K. Also as a candidate if you are looking for 100K min, you know this position is not for you.
Usually, markets work quite well because they work face to face. Internet commerce on the other hand is usually extremely risky business if you don't have access to parties which can control that risk: strong, fair states that enforce complex laws in cases of disputes; 3rd parties that assume some of the risk, such as PayPal or eBay.

Bitcoin solves none of these problems. Sure, it allows you to at least assume this risk, which your country otherwise doesn't, so it's not nothing. But it's at best a band-aid.

It also doesn't protect you in any way from your employer not paying your salary on time, from being wrongfully terminated, from not being able to get a loan, from business partners not paying their debts because they can't sell their own products etc. These are usually the problems that a non-functioning state and non-functioning economy face.
This would take out a certain number of them, but there are hardcoded IP references (e.g., to their DNS servers), use of Google systems for things like NTP, and so on. These are findable and patchable, but you will still be building your own image to maintain as most of these are not exposed as knobs in the Android UI. And of course still no answer for SUPL. Going transiently without an internet connection is common, but going semi-permanently without one is not what these systems are designed to do well.

Also, is this list of ~10 hostnames readily available somewhere?
Or when you complain about some really horrible legacy code and then it comes up that is written by your new tech lead just a few months ago.
Yes, this means the business model is based on extracting whatever they can get from you.
It is not about the appeal, it is about contempt towards Twitter. Also Gab is a bit hard to approach for Parler crowd
I also love coding on Linux, but there are shortcomings. Not enough to make me prefer Windows, but enough to make me wish for something better.

Generally, Windows has better GUI-based tools. The big one being debuggers, I really miss debugging in Visual Studio (C++). But more generally, Windows tends to have a better selection of IDEs, database editors, version control GUIs, etc...

I love command lines and text editors, maybe that's the reason why I prefer Linux, but sometimes, GUIs are useful.

I don't know how the experience on OSX is. It never struck me as a particularly developer friendly platform but I may be wrong. It has a proper Unix shell, so it shouldn't be that bad.
