Free speech is important, but the current threat to free speech largely comes from the social justice sector, which loves to mock it as Freeze Peach. To use their very own rationalizations against them, they are quite well-represented elsewhere and therefore do not "need" to be heard there.

It is both practical and -- one might dare hope -- instructive for the left to have to struggle for a little free speech, as the empathy upon which they pride themselves is quite selective; finally, they might understand what it is like to have their voices systematically erased.
I can only speak from personal experience, but I've removed fog almost entirely by removing sugar and carbohydrates from my diet (Ketogenic), and doing intermittent fasting (IF).

My energy levels are always elevated, I sleep better, and the clarity of thought that comes with a Keto + IF combination is something I only wish I had known about when I was younger.

Whilst I'm speaking anecdotally, the benefits are grounded in science and is something that anyone can try. Once you get over the initial "keto adaptation" period the rewards will be well worth the effort.

Also, intermittent fasting (and even just removing sugar) is something that can be done separately if you're not a fan of low/zero carb lifestyles.
Replace "Excel" with "Computers" and I agree
Cloud certs are currently the most desired in the US right now. By that I mean, in order of precedence ... AWS, GCP/Azure, and then Oracle. I would also add the recent certs from Elastic/Hashicorp/Kubernetes are becoming more popular.

These certs I have consistently seen lead to jobs, even for those in difficult to place circumstances. They also I believe train you well for the job at hand.
Pain killers can reduce the sensation of pain in other ways than by reducing inflammation - paracetamol is one of these.
We have an in memory database in the back end that logs the events and we are playing back the event in real time. Having said that we have a new feature that allows you to export the complete reaction video with multiple streams into a single video file so you can export it back to Youtube or other platforms.
There was (and is), but you're not going to find many that agree on here. (Even in the comment section of a supporting data point.)

People who dislike Trump (the majority of HN readers) are strongly biased to react negatively at the very mention of his name.

Ironically, a not-insignificant contributing reason for this is... corrupt and biased news media.

I'll patiently await my tribal downvotes, now...
And a phonecall from the CEO of AT&T.
If the article wasn't in Vice, if the main subject of the article didn't credit magic mushrooms for his world view, if the author of the article didn't reference insane theories of evolution happening because primates started tripping on mushrooms, if the author didn't extol the virtues of psilocybin, I would probably agree with you.

As it is the article clearly has a bias towards mushrooms because of the psychedelic properties some of them possess.
My theory is cars. Everything is spread so far apart that local businesses can't rely on foot traffic to spur interest, and a 15-minute driving radius doesn't include all that many people. For many people living in suburbs there's no city center to speak of, and they meet all their needs at the local strip mall full of national and multinational restaurant and grocery chains with name recognition.
I think this anxiety exists in traditional society as well but instead of getting advice from books and news articles in traditional societies you get an avalanche of advice from relatives
I guess some people read my question as if I doubted while I just wanted the source which I didn't have.

C'est la vie :)
Your first paragraph isn't accurate. For example, one common maneuvering tactic against radar guided missiles is to fly perpendicular to the radar, trying to hide in the doppler notch.

Against IR guided missiles, maneuvering is also a part of the counters used (in addition to flares). Maneuvering helps deplete the missile of energy. You'll never out turn a missile, but you can make it run out of fuel/energy.

That said, modern AAMs have tremendous no escape zones where it's quite difficult to survive if the missile is employed properly.

And drones flying counter air missions will probably happen when level 5 self-driving is successful.
>Right now it's owned/stored by the artist and someone buying the piece from me would be able to get it delivered directly from Beeple. That's a new level of unboxed where the piece of art is basically unseen at this point in time and can easily be guaranteed original.

But doesn't this defeat the goal of NFT? If you are the owner, then if it's stored by the creator or not it's irrelevant, right?

It's just like buying anything from an artist, save the receipt and ask him to store it from you, the difference is that storage of a, let's say painting, requires more space and controlled humidity/temp.
These are called SROs and their demolition in SF is among one of the many causes of the current visible homelessness.
Coming from a game development background, the easy part is to make the perfect opponent. The hardest part is to let the opponent feel human.

I'm guessing pointing a missile to the right direction has more to do with fast feedback loops and less about training neural networks.
Sponsored listings and ads in map search are already a thing on mobile. If I search for certain common terms ("Smog Check", for example), some pinpoints are already highlighted differently because they correspond to ads in the search results list.
Just because you make choices that complicate otherwise-simple things in your life does not mean you should criticize decisions made by people who give you information you do not have to pay for.
I don't think replicating S3 is all that easy for any company.

Running an FTP server != an S3 equivalent.
What's replaced eBay? Craigslist? Just chucking the thing in a drawer because you can't sell it for squat?
This problem is caused by government funding of education. If students and/or parents were paying the tab or at least everything over the bare minimum , there'd be a laser focus on value. But with other people picking up everything over a certain amount, there's no need to scrimp on amenities or prestige instead of getting the most education for the money.

Perverse incentives? Absolutely. But thats what government does best. It perverts incentives. It hides the costs and makes a big show of benefits, even ones that don't truly matter.
> Whereas undergrads are coached to write tests we're coached to publish.

That is the big problem. The problem is that the sole method of employee evaluation for University professors (and postdocs - anyone in an academic career) is publications.

This encourages bad publications, a focus on research (or more accurately, publication milling) rather than teaching and a focus on many publications - instead of good research.

At least 99% of conference articles are worthless and 85% of journal articles are crap.

I wonder if the world would not be better served if professors were encouraged to study deeper and target the high-hanging fruits, instead of producing (mostly) worthless research.
The internet really helps with that, by expanding your world to include some people who are just dazzlingly brilliant, and remind you how far you have to go. This guy, for example:

http://blog.sigfpe.com/

The nice thing about this kind of ego-shrinking is that it's combined with inspiration to do something about it, rather than just feeling deflated. There's so much interesting stuff out there.
Why is this such a big deal? I really don't get it. I don't think anyone out there really cares what Zuck posted on his facebook. How many people saw that even? And I definitely don't think Apple pressured him to remove it.

The facts, as they stand:

* The post was not all that negative or controversial

* Zuck isn't this huge marketing impact, positive or otherwise

* Apple doesn't give a flying penguin what he posts on his personal page

* Bloggers taking things overboard, and creating drama where there isn't even a story? Hmmmm... where have we seen that before?!
So in summary: 30th birthday + regret + hangover = pompous treatise on the state of the American psyche from a self righteous Canadian?

How on earth did this get on the front page.
Your post is incredibly unfair to Prgmr. You are obviously not great at server administration and you seem to imply that you are requesting server administration support.

All Prmgr promises is that they'll keep your VPS running most of the time. It's on you to maintain it. Not only that but you know lsc is on the west coast and you posted this article while he was still in bed. If your slice is running, lsc is doing his job.

Apache configuration issues are on you.
Hmmm, I tried putting 4GB in my Mac Mini, but it wouldn't boot (now running with 2GB). Did you have to do anything special to make it work?
I certainly didn't say that the government is inherently legitimate -- I was agreeing with you, and the comparison to Lebanon's government is a decent one (although nothing is as ridiculous as the confessional system).

Regarding random violence in the places that the Taliban hold sway.. well ok. But highly specific violence is certainly a part of their toolkit.
People used phones for long distance calls. Skype offered the same capability, but for free.

People used tv to watch their favorite shows. Joost offered online video, but did not include their favorite shows.

Skype made something people want. Joost didn't.
If you click on the more rural western Oklahoma counties, all the movement is just between adjacent rural counties. As someone who worked hard to break out of a small town, I find that a bit depressing - no one is "escaping" and no fresh ideas are entering.
I look forward to seeing your implementation of this solution.
I'm in Europe. I've been using only (cold) tap water in my house for more than a year. It began with a broken heater in the midst of last year's summer when I decided to postpone buying new one to see how long I can last with cold water. I thought that sooner or later I should catch cold and then I would switch back to using warm water. That summer was hot (up to 35 degree Celsius) and tap water was warm, slowly it began cooling but I didn't feel any difference. When it hit -25 degree outside I was sure that my cold water showers will put me in bed but that never happened. The only inconvenience was (and is) that many hygiene products (shampoos, soaps, and such) work poorly with cold water and it takes more time to properly wash myself. I can't say whether this habit affects my weight or gives any other benefit, but as long as it's not harmful I can't care less.
Instead of a statue let’s say an actor or a singer and instead of a forest a theatre.

Now go back to the days before Entertainment Technology (i.e.: the microphone, the camera, tape recorder, video recorder etc.). The only money to be made was to charge admission to the theatre.
Then along came entertainment technology and the entertainment industry used the technology to make money by selling copies of the artists performance on records LP’s CD, s Videos DVD, s etc.
Then along came the Internet and copies of artists performance can be obtained at a minimal cost.

But an artist can still make money by performing in a theatre or a field were the tress have been felled.

I have little doubt they have compromised some system that reuses keys or nonces (or fails to increment the counter :)). If I were making a powerpoint to brag to my bosses, I would definitely put that on a slide.
A better example would be a motorcycle vs. Lance Armstrong.
Nice that you mention Pandas ... it's on the list for being supported by lsci (which in turn will be using LFE py).

As for Hy: LFE py comes with custom ErlPort encoders/decoders, and I came this close to writing those in Hy. However, I did want anyone with a Python background to be able to easily read and contribute, not just Lispers ;-)

Regardless, it would be nice to use with Hy (and probably trivial: a requirements.txt update, and then adding some Hy modules in ./python/lfe, at which point you should be able to access them from LFE).
On the disagreement hierarchy[1], your downvoted comment is DH3 at best. Also, it's needlessly disparaging. I think you'd fare better if you avoided such digs at others' opinions in the future.

Also, don't worry about downvotes. HN isn't that big, and individual comments are quickly forgotten. Think of it as feedback, not condemnation of you personally.

I wouldn't worry about the companies - nothing a nice trademark suit couldn't fix. Personal names, however, are a more delicate issue...
Cool, I'll have to take a look. Qualys SSL labs has a cool set of tools to output not only the supported versions/ciphers, but shows what OS/browser combos would be able to connect to the site.

Good work.
2cool4school high school semantics aside, "be awesomer" is sound advice. Consider the second word "awesomer" (I assume this is the word you don't like, since I can't see anyone with a qualm against "be"), what is "awesomer"?

Or, more to the point, what is "awesome"? Well, something that fills one with awe. But what is "awe"? According to Dr. Dacher Keltner (Born to be Good), "awe" is a feeling of uplifting that one gets when he is looking on things from up high. It's a feeling we get when we suddenly see our world and ourselves in a much larger scope; when we come to some understanding of our place, our path, and our purpose in our universe. Since time immemorial, it's a feeling we've associated with divinity.

It's hard to say what fills others with awe, but to be awesome from your own perspective is to do something that would fill you with awe. To "be awesomer" then is to be do more of that thing which fills you with purpose and meaning and (since your time and resources are finite) to do it at the cost of all the other things that just grind away at your life yet you feel no purpose, meaning, or self-actualization from.

So, what does "be awesomer" mean when translated out of uncool-high-school-faggotnese (and, incidentally, into cult-of-TEDnish)? It means to take a risk, abandon the beaten and grinding path, and to live a life that feels meaningful to you. If you ask me, that's sound advice; possibly irresponsible if you're a parent with kids depending on you, but definitely solid otherwise.
Asbestos only causes very specific form of cancer, and only really in the lungs. I don't think this can be related
Using rsync and 20M files is a good enough example:
- to check the date of each file on UNIX you must run "stat" once per file (unless you have an external log that says what to skip) so that's very slow.
- to backup a big file is "--append-verify" or something like this and one streaming read per file.
Uber has the strongest brand. Uber's job is probably to build trust, push a convenience and affordability message.

If Google want to hit the ground running with a robot taxi service, they need Uber to be growing into something that my parents might use in parallel with the finishing touches being put on their AI cars.
Doesn't matter if an oil change takes 5 minutes, youre paying for the decade of experience that got him to be good enough to do it in 5 minutes.
I'm not in Houston or oil/gas, but trying to find a niche with the same background. I'm not seeing a great demand for this combo commercially unfortunately.
TFL is a joke. They don't even know that you can open a Model 3 charge port by tapping at it. That is after owning the car for weeks. AFTER they were shown how to do so, when they took delivery.

They were bitching that it's so inconvenient because they thought you have to use the app. That's seems disingenuous t me.
I would have said the opposite. Channels are great on occasion, but half the time I see them used in places where a simple mutex would be much cleaner and easier to read or where a mutex could be hidden from the user entirely but a channel is used instead and has to be exposed to the user. They each have their place. There are specific things in the sync package I see abused frequently, but I wouldn't call use of the sync package itself code smell.
The ratio of ML interested or majored job candidates I saw nowadays is staggering, appears >70%.
Can you provide some more context on this?
Can you elaborate? I believe that a fair amount of people coming out of college cannot merge 2 sorted linked lists, they can't code even fizzbuzz. But for people that write code every day, I think all of them could do those things. PMs and managers who used to code 10 years ago (like me, ahem) should be able to do that but they might be rusty.
reminds me of brave
It varies between no interview at all, and a full interview exactly like a new hire. Both are done. Interviews are more common these days, because if they're skipped, existing employees may resent the acquihire folks for not having to jump through the same hoops.

This is another reason for the vesting payouts for employees. If there wasn't some reward, and you had to do a full interview, why not just interview somewhere else?

Regarding your last question, it is true that a cabal of disgruntled employees could cause problems for an acquihire. I have seen cases where the acquisition was contingent on a certain number of engineers passing the interviews. Another good reason for a big financial incentive.

I don't think that would lead to better terms in a new deal. The next buyer is likely to learn that the company's employees boned the interviews, which is going to look bad.
Bolivia, Cuba, China, Vietnam, etc :-)
If only the Mozilla foundation would spend their money on Firefox only ...
good residence.
From my more than 5 years at google I saw a lot of random stupid interview questions. I was astounding. 10 years ago they didn't seem to do any interview question checking, you could ask anything.
The square-cube law implies some performance characteristics that only big-enough craft can fulfill, and at that size point you aren't saving money with "disposable" cheap-and-small drones. Specifically, air resistance scales with cross sectional area, while fuel storage and engine power output scales with volume. You can trade off fuel for engine power by making a more missile-like design, but then you're left with a conventional plane.

Like, this is the fundamental reason why ground-based missiles don't rule the skies. Aircraft can go high enough and travel fast enough that any intercept solution has you firing well before they've committed to flying into the effective range of the missile.
Epicycles.
Doesn't an inactive account expire after a certain time, and there is a 'grace period' to log back in before that time and keep the account?

On a side note: accounts are persistent through time, and it's not hard to match multiple old deleted copies (resignups) and create a 'super-account'
I just chose the not 100%-false option of the two ;-)
It's about juicing their image with investors.
Are you sure you're referring to JIT as opposed to byte-compilation?
There were actually mall kiosks in the US that sold similar things that actually had pirated copies of Nintendo's first-party games. This was either late '90s or early 2000s.
And without grid scale storage, which doesn't exist, solar at noon is about as useful as coal in the middle of Australia. Renewable only is a pipe dream and is distracting from the fact that we need to build nuclear plants if we want to have a planet by the end of the century.
It'd be an interesting project to go about creating a "digital Rosetta stone" for the purpose of decoding that information. The Voyager Golden Record came with instructions for creating a record player for it, but an entire computer would be far more complex, not to mention the actual programs for decoding the data. Difficult, but perhaps a good idea.
That is actually 100% fair.

My issue with Vim is that it takes quite a bit of effort to learn, as this very thread illustrates. And for what gain?

I don't know how to use Vim, but I've given learning a shot a few times before having this visceral reaction like, "Why the hell am I doing this?" And then I move on to other things.

I've watched other programmers use Vim, and they do not appear to be any faster or more efficient than me with Sublime and/or an IDE like PyCharm or Eclipse. And for some tasks they seem to be quite a bit slower.

I dunno. To each their own. I wouldn't fault someone for learning Vim. But to me it seems like a waste of time. Modern text editors are much easier to learn and use. If you want to spend time learning something, learn something useful.

Just my opinion though.
I don't think the "it already had an established meaning" argument is very tenable, especially not when we're talking about mathematical terms. Maths freely borrows terms that have very well established meanings. E.g., "category" has an ancient and well established meaning, but that didn't stop it from being appropriated for "category theory". Category theorists also seem to have appropriated the term "categorical" even though it has a very specific and firmly established meaning in logic. "Functor" was appropriated from an established term that was in use by logicians and linguists. "Topology" was taken over from botanists. Categorial "Monads" have nothing to do with Leibniz (that I can tell), nor "arrows" with everyday arrows of any sort, and the wikipedia article on category theory even begins with the following caution:

>Several terms used in category theory, including the term "morphism", differ from their uses within mathematics itself

There may be other aspects of the appropriation of sexy math terms which you find problematic, but the mere act of borrowing established terms doesn't seem problematic in its own right.

fwiw, I don't like JavaScript and I am interested in and partial to mathematically and logically grounded languages. otoh, I don't care what names JS developers give to their constructs either.

Universities in Germany and probably many other countries don’t have special e-mail addresses. I guess you will either have to verify manually (if there is indeed some kind of college or university behind the address) or just not accept those submissions.
That image is a bit funny...

"at 5pm Eastern Time we point our LOICs at Tumblr. Their IP address is: 174.120.238.130"

What sort of insane webapp would only have 1 IP? Either 4chan are terribly naive, or Tumblr are.

A dig lookup seems to suggest Tumblr are insane.
The engineer made it work, by understanding the handle mechanisms, positioning it so that it was reachable and provided enough leverage to move the door.

Did an engineer design that, or did the equivalent of an interaction designer do it?
