Why do you say that the Arabs would have finished Hitlers job? Jews had been living for centuries in the Middle East alongside Arabs. Even today Morrocan Jews in Israel talk warmly of their past lives as Morrocans.

I once met a Lebanese whose friend growing up was Jewish. Later he grew up and moved to Israel only to come back to Lebanon as a military commander. He saw him at a military checkpoint in the city they grew up in.
I don’t see how that refutes his point- maybe those young people aren’t living in Cupertino anymore?
For anybody using MacOS, a keyboard customisation program called Karabiner-Elements can help here. By importing a specific KE rule, you can change the behaviour of your keyboard such that a Cmd-Q code is only sent after pressing the key chord twice. IRL this translates into a singular press and hold of Cmd and a double tap of Q and it works on all programs. I can't recall accidentally closing any program since enabling this rule and it takes next to no extra effort to work with it enabled.
Great question, I remember inheriting some code that mixed the two and led to some “interesting” results.

Fantastic! They could have continued another 10 hours with speakers like that.
You've misinterpreted me. The AOSP bug tracker is exactly the right place to file bug reports for Google sold devices. Google takes on the responsibility of supporting those devices, hardware and all.
Great job!

Also, in comments - would be great if links were clickable, and if the user could highlight and copy text.
Lead SDE - VoloMetrix - Seattle WA

VoloMetrix applies cutting edge big data and people analytics to unlock collaboration data and change the way that all areas of an organization measure and manage themselves. Our technology empowers executives, managers, and individuals to better understand and focus their own time and their team’s time around the important, instead of the loud. We've been featured in Harvard Business Review five times this year, as well as in the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Fortune, Forbes, CFO and Inc.

We are looking for a passionate Lead Software Development Engineer who can be a mentor but also wants to be hands-on as we are a small company and need "all hands on deck". We offer a fun, collaborative and goal oriented work environment and we're looking for more smart, committed people to join our team.

Check out http://www.volometrix.com/about-us/people-analytics-careers for more info on this position and others.
Obviously famo.us is more famous than snabbt.js. But seriously, they both do the same thing. Instead of using css transitions they both use request animation frames and then only do the transformations that are fast to do. The main differences is the size of Snabbt, which only does animation, and Famo.us which handles touch events has a larger physics engine and more utility functions.

There are efforts being done to implement parts of Material design using famo.us:

I know eclipse lets you jump up and down stack frames during debugging, I assume IDEA lets you do the same. So, while inconvenient, couldn't you jump up to the calling frame and inspect the variable in question from its scope?
Seems a bit unfair to have a mouse that relieves carpal tunnel syndrome in a list of 'useless' mice if it's still in the testing phase. If it works then it'll be far from useless.
i would not call this meditation. the form of meditation which is most studied and produces health effects is mindfulness meditation, and it does not involve neither music nor scenery. also cool is transcendental meditation. this is relaxing. not every form of relaxation is meditation.

although, i do not wish to belittle the effort of the authors. the site looks beautiful, and i'm sure it will help people alleviate day-to-day stress.
Do you see how that is in perfect connection with the reason people pirate stuff?

Anti-piracy main reasoning is that if it's too expensive(too many ads in your case) just don't buy it. The 2nd main reason is lack of availability(in ad blocker case - lack of sites with less ads that give you same content).
Also people shouldn't be allowed to change the channel on tv when the ad breaks begin or even leave to use the toilet! They should be forced to sit and watch everything or else the ratings of the ads will not match the ones for the show.

My point it: people mostly hated ads since they were invented. Be it by not looking at them on the street, changing channels on tv or installing AdBlock on your computer, they do their best to avoid them.
where do you find these people to talk to? any specific location/meetups? i would think that the enterprise clients that can pay for such professional services don't tend to go to language/startup meetups.
These conversations never consider location. Finding a job in Greece is going to take a different length of time compared to finding in San Francisco, different to Little Rock, Alabama (is that a place? It sounds like a place.), etc. I see no location reference in the post.
because the US has a long reach in the financial world even into Switzerland (these days). The IRS is on a war path against crypto currently and I think they believe 50% of it is something they can be taxing or is fraudulent. The US government doesn't like things that are hard to track.
Ok so I'll share my personal anecdote. I was of the opinion that I wanted to go back to work. I was tired of the remote work, feeling trapped in my apartment. My office wasn't calling us back till at least July, so I had to figure out a solution -- this was affecting my mental health!

So I signed up for wework.

Initially it was great, the change in scenery and socializing was a welcome change. However I quickly got very exhausted. My wework was down the street, yet I was getting exhausted on a daily basis.

I cancelled my membership and now I am working from home and much happier than before. I think we underestimate how hard it will be readjust from no commute/mental simulation from the environment to full blown pre pandemic lifestyle.
That's not a remote problem, that's a project management and communications problem. Physical proximity is no replacement for clearly communicated requirements/bug reports/product roadmaps as well as tribal knowledge (which should not be tribal but documented somewhere searchable and robustly accessible), but it makes a nice hack when everyone is required to be in the office.
> I saw this at eBay and PayPal a few times, where the user rejected a free security token despite having been scammed multiple times.

People here downvote me for this but this is the issue. Those people cannot be helped and they don't want help. They chose this and have to live with the consequences. There's no right to easy computing.
Gravity isn’t a force in general relativity.

However other forces such as the strong nuclear and the electroweak are forces in theories such as the standard model.

Grand Unification theories often are trying to turn gravity into a force this is where mediating particles such as the graviton come into play but these aren’t very successful yet.

It may be that gravity isn’t a force at all and is just an emergent phenomenon from the geometric properties of space time, or it could be both basically two distinct phenomena that cause attraction between massive objects where on a larger scale it’s primarily dominated by the geometry of space time and on the quantum scales by a mediated force with its own field and quanta (particles).
YNAB is too granular for me (having to categorize transactions, etc), I don't need money management help, I like the convenience of setting a goal and having money be automatically transferred in there.

Trying to look like warriors to their constituents in a manufactured culture war, frankly.
> The reason Pilate is painted as anything other than guilty is because the Jews must be guilty, and the method of the Jew in destroying all that is good is to sneakily take advantage of the innocent non-Jew.

Do you have any evidence of this?

All the earliest available historical evidence depicts the event in essentially the same way, which also makes logical sense - why would Pilate otherwise care about some random Jewish mystic?

Secondly, it seems like we need to overcome the pretty big hurdle of explaining why a population of mostly Jewish people who largely continued to identify themselves as Jewish during the period in question would write books in a way that painted the Jews as guilty because of their antisemitism rather than because it was an accurate reflection of what they actually believed happened, or, most charitably, because they were afraid any anti-Roman sentiment would bring down the hammer.
When most people say "terrorism", they are referring to a very specific thing, not "warfare and violence in general". You've made the word useless, just so that you can use it's connotations where they don't belong. Connotations which wouldn't exist if it was really defined that way.
There would be very different traffic patterns. Git over SSH would be a shortlived session with high data speeds, an interactive shell is longer with lower throughput changing in fits and starts. The popularity and hostnames of ssh servers also give some hints. Noise in detection would all depends on how intricate the monitoring is and how well it can be queried.
IMO iOS and Android are terrible examples of how to do this. They break decades of convention in how to write POSIX-like applications, and force developers into locked-in practices.

Android gives lip service to the NDK, but in practice you can't really run many useful C/C++/Golang/Rust/etc programs on Android, because the system breaks POSIX. You can't keep a simple webserver running without starting a foreground service, which requires Java/Kotlin. There's no /etc/resolv.conf for DNS resolution, so you have to use custom servers or use the Android NDK compiler (which can be a huge pain). Plus they lock down the filesystem more each year. Android 10/11 are a complete mess on this front. Fortunately they've rolled back some of the more draconian changes, but only because of developer outcry. The fact that they even wanted to do some of the things in the first place is sad.

I'm not saying this is an easy problem to solve, but it's obvious that the big boys have only made a token (if that) effort to build a good, open way of doing it.
1/3 of your income OK, but why 5%? Are these variable rate mortgages?!
I don't think recent Intel macs even support "Boot Camp" (CSM) any more. You need to go through UEFI, Boot Camp now is just a software wizard for getting UEFI Windows installed.
Electronics is my hobby and I am fortunate to have decently equipped electronics lab all with a dedicated desk.

So I was pretty worried when he came asking to get him signed up for a robotics class (3h every Saturday for couple of months).

I already have some ideas how I want to introduce him to robotics but I am not going to intervene here. Just made sure he knows he can always come back and tell me he is no longer interested in the classes and we will just cut it.

As to creative work, I figured out already it is better if I do most of figuring out how to solve some problems (and let him solve just enough to not get bored with it) and he is spending time figuring out what kind of features we want in the games, for example.

We then discuss what is and what is not feasible and how things can be working and I still try to make sure he understands how the program works.

I know he understands at least some of it because he can take educated guesses at how to modify the program to change it to do what he wants.

This seems to be really fun for him so I plan for it to stay that way for some time.
All of those are still just asking "how much is your life worth in dollar terms?" Not "how happy are you". The assumption is the more money you're willing to spend to stay alive the happier you must be.

> Also, though this is a less important point: Life insurance is not only for paying off some fraction of your theoretical lifetime income. E.g., you can buy life insurance policies even after you have retired, even if you have no income. Obviously one reason why you would buy life insurance is to make up for loss of future income; but it could be e.g. that one thing you do is to care for other family members, and that if you died they would need someone else to do that who would need paying, and if you were buying life insurance that would be something you would take into account.

If you have no income you can't buy life insurance. How would you pay for it?

Retirement income is still income. You're still buying insurance to provide that income in the event you die before your dependents. It should be noted however that those polices tend to be very expensive as the insurance company calculates that you may not be paying into it for very long before they have to start paying out.
The title should be prefixed with "Ask HN: "

The reason HN does not need a captcha is that it has 2 full time moderators that watch this site continuously. They do an incredible job at weeding out abusive content. There is some automation that also helps them flag the obvious abuse and people can also flag submissions to help that system. If you enable "show dead" in your profile, you will see some of the content that gets removed.
It's honestly refreshing to see a rich person write, under his own name, an opinion that we should use high bail amounts to ensure that poorer people should not be considered innocent until proven guilty.

Usually rich people tiptoe around making the argument this directly, but Sacks cuts right to the chase: we should have different systems of justice for poor people and rich people.

If Sacks were ever charged with a crime, he would make bail and be free the same day. He would be free until he was proven guilty in a court. And yet here he argues against that most basic liberty for people who do not have as much material wealth as he does.

I disagree with Sacks in that I think we should have a single system of justice. But I applaud him for arguing stridently that rich people should have different rules. We take too many of our Constitutional protections for granted, so it's good in a way to have people like Sacks argue against those protections. Hopefully it will generate discussion around where things are now and how our laws should be applied in the future.
I just dump data into Venti and dump my 4gb Venti slices encrypted to DVD and keep an encrypted copy of my vac scores distributed around my systems.

If you're doing full dumps every few days, you're doing it wrong.
They did have some success with getting the unions to make these kinds of concessions in D.C. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405270230336240457558..., allowing the schools to cut under-performing teachers instead of having to make cuts solely based on seniority.

Unfortunately, it looks like those efforts are stalled at the moment due to the mayor losing his re-election bid.

I agree with you though, the unions are a huge part of the problem with the education system in the U.S.
Keith Norris http://theorytopractice.wordpress.com/ writes a blog I like that has some great ideas for short intense workouts. I never have trouble sleeping after a heavy deadlift session, for example, and you can annihilate yourself in 20 minutes of lifting. Alternatively you can mix stuff throughout the day: pushups, pullups, etc.
Right now? Nokia N900, without a doubt. Maemo is a lightly hacked Debian, the official toolchain is gcc-arm (admittedly without autoconf, but that's a blessing if you're in control of your own source), and deployment is straight-up apt. Plus it's a decent Python dev platform if your tendencies veer in that direction.

If the "lightly hacked" part gets in the way, you can even debootstrap a real Debian release onto the device and develop in that.

The hardware is decent as well; it certainly feels more solid than the HTC slide phones I've played with recently, and despite dropping it a few times it's barely got the shine worn off after 8 months.

All that being said, it's entirely unclear what the future of the platform is; Meego could sink without a trace in 6 months, and I don't know if Nokia are planning a successor device. In my mind they'd be insane not to, but sanity hasn't been Nokia's hallmark of late.
The economist in me loves this explanation. Any articles on it?
http://prixfeed.com/ just makes some beer money - but it's ok for a single short PHP script..
Nice and fun, and brings into focus the definition of "distance" and how it interacts with the concept of a metric. Using the L<sub>1</sub> metric gives a different value of pi than using the L<sub>2</sub> metric. Obviously.

It's easy enough with arguments like this to show the "length" to be anything you choose. Such demonstrations are instructive.

EDIT: Changed lower-case ell to upper-case for clarity.
When I have days (sometimes weeks) like that, I figure out everything I need to get done that can be done in 20-30 minute chunks (or broken down into them) then only work on those things.

Entropy in VMs is hard to get, it's nice to see an "easy" way to access better system-level entropy. There are also a few utils that let you distribute entropy amongst your VMs[1], but getting everything directly from the system feels better from a security perspective.

I've been forced to use rng-tools and / or rng-usleep to get enough randomness in some Ubuntu VMs in the past. It's maddening to see SSL slowdowns for no good reason, and to have to trace it back to a blocking call to /dev/random for 8 lousy bytes.

I didn't realize that you were the original poster, sorry.

I admit their product offering is a bit confusing. It does make sense though:

You can install CrashPlan (the regular, free version) on any number of computers and set them up to back to each other/external drives/ftp/etc. This works wonders for family computers, for example. At this point its all free.

If thats not enough for you you can buy the "Plus" version of the software that offers continuous backup, stronger encryption, etc. This is where it stops being free; you're down something like $60 for the software.

Regardless of which version of the software you use, however, you can pay for CrashPlan Central, which is effectively another backup destination that happens to be on their servers, this is the "online" portion of their offering. The cost is more or less on part with the Mozys out there.

So technically if you are OK with backing up just between your existing machines and you don't need up to the minute backups, their free offering will work just fine for you and it works well.
> Taler proposes an extraordinarily unethical panopticon, where unaccountable entities (both commercial and governmental) without any due process can surveil every transaction you make.

No, actually, you are describing the current state of affairs with mainstream online payment systems like PayPal and Venmo

Taler uses blind signatures which means that your exchange has no knowledge of where you are spending your tokens. In essence, when you make a payment the merchant knows you have an IOU to the exchange, the exchange knows it's a valid IOU, but since it was issued with a blind signature the exchange is not aware that it's an IOU that was issued to you. This gives you privacy that parallels the use of real world cash.
Donald Knuth wrote the criminally under-appreciated Mathematical Writing [1] [2] which was the collected lectures from a class at Stanford. One of the guest lectures was Jeffrey Ullman On Getting Rich. In it, he discusses the economics of book writing and compares its pay with that of other 'professions'.

> Partners (third party developers) should have access to provide Merchants much needed services and get paid for that but as I see it Shopify has to regulate what those Partners are doing so that neither their Merchants or Customers are getting taken advantage of. (I.E. avoid any kind of fallout similar to facebooks cambridge analytics level or fraudulent payments).

People were building complements and addons to pro software long before the whole plateform and app stores fad took hold. The whole thing is pretty much a naked cash grab from publishers and the whole "plateform" strategy which has been so dear to management consultants for the last decade is just another world for artificial barriers to entry but entraving competitions doesn't sound as good as building a plateform.

I don't think we'd currently have any way of producing such a thing, because the two processes we have are 1. producing proofs suitable to human mental processess and 2. producing long and tedious proofs by a series of steps programmed by humans in the first place.

Although it also depends to some extent on your definition of "suitable to human mental processes"... for instance, the famous proof that produced Graham's number is not "unsuitable to human mental processes" in the meta sense, but if you try to directly apprehend Graham's number with human mental processes, you fail. You can comprehend it and manipulate it mathematically, but you can not apprehend it.
In the worst case (they change the interface spec and no one else produces old modules, or the company folds entirely) it's not any less maintainable than any other laptop on the market today. I think most laptops still allow storage and battery upgrades/replacement; RAM is questionable (some being soldered on the motherboard); and anything else basically means replacing the whole device.
Anyone else thinking this looks a bit like Brendan O'Connor's CreepyDOL?
