Ironically, you'd have to hand your data over to the government to form the business, leaving you vulnerable to your data being sold anyways.

Plus, it's highly likely (based on existing private companies handling public works) that you'd have to provide your own name as a driver to the government for auditing and revocation purposes.

If you want legal rights from the government, you have to give them legal data. And for the purposes of transparency, you have to be able to get that data back out, which is likely how this particular loophole came about originally.
> In Intel's case, libraries like MKL/IPP don't decide which implementation to use based on available features but CPUID, and fall back to slow versions even if the CPU supports all features required for the optimization.

The CPU features indicates if a feature is available, but doesn't indicate if it's advisable or fast -- that's why Intel built a table for their hardware, and they'd need a table for AMD hardware too, except they don't care, because it's not their hardware. AMD or someone could build that table and patch it in, or try to convince Intel to include it, but expecting Intel to build it themselves is wishful thinking at best.
There is a lot of money to be made going around reassuring people that the greatest existential threat of our time is no big deal.

When the hundreds of millions of refugees flood across borders driving governments to fascism, and those fascist governments do what they do and trigger global thermonuclear war, these same individuals will insist none of it was their, or the fascists', fault. If money still means anything they will be well-paid for that, too.
If you're in California, you should be calling your state representative today asking why the government is exempt from this legislation.

Yes but all those words you just wrote apply just as well to a corporation. (Employment or use of products)
The people being hired are not the ones having their hours scaled back. If demand for labor rises at a natural average over time in an area then minimum wage could reduce scheduled hours while overall growth still creates job demand. It'd be more interesting to see the effects of minimum wage increases on the average yearly income for employees in the area for that reason.

Security can't be a best-effort platform-dependent QoI issue.

What could work would be several tiers with certain minimum guarantees that will either be fulfilled 100% or EOPNOTSUPP.

If a developer doesn't know what level of security they need or want, the feature is not for them.
That's within the margin of error of 6ft.
This is what chef did and I enjoyed it, but it seems that's not the way most systems went.
if you want to save on coffee, buy green beans and roast. I pay around $30 for 5lbs of green beans that are extremely high quality. you can do far cheaper than that though.
“We never foresaw this kind of use and many of our clients are not happy about it,”

REALLY? You never foresaw clients not being happy about it??
To Long, Didn't Read: I'm down with what you're saying, but I didn't ask that question. Where's the hot links?

Yes yes, I've asked ever so foolish a question and missed the fundamental problem, really failed to develop an overall understanding of the root causes of my interests and their dynamic nature, and lack a general theory of communication.

That, or, I had hoped that the widely read and interesting people who take the time to read arbitrary questions from strangers and give coherent, considered replies might direct me towards exactly the thing that I described: an internet content aggregator that is, in aggregate, more focussed on the technical and aesthetic issues, and less concerned with embedding those issues within a specific economic framework? A specific one that I can point ol' Chrome at?

More science, less startup. That's all I'm askin'. I do not care what Steve Jobs said to a guy who's iPhone was too beepy. I do care that a professor at MIT has claimed he's got a widget to beat photosynthesis, and I do care that someone's unearthed a video of bookbinding as practiced in 1947.

Certainly, I appreciate that I would be doing myself a disservice if I insisted that all I read, watched, or heard were something that I had already approved. I have no expectations that a community perfectly support anything. The nice thing about HN as a community is that I can ask this question, and perhaps find a supplementary community to address the imbalance that I personally experience. Also, I'm calling startup kids dorks cause I think it's dorky.

This makes sense. I've been noticing lately that if I stay up late designing, my creative flow seems to improve drastically.. Up until this point I thought I had just been fooling myself into thinking I was better when I stayed up late, but perhaps there is actually something to it.
honestly, I'm not sure. I've seen studies both saying egg yolks are high in cholestrol, and I've seen studies refuting that claim. considering the levels I ingest, I figured better safe than sorry (and cheaper 12 dozen eggs = 750ml of egg whites. crazy!) and just went with the egg whites.
The real problem with this diet is it doesn't contain any fruits (Avocados, Cucumbers, Olives, Bananas, Grapes, Berries, etc). Our ancestors lived primarily on raw fruits so they are definitely the healthiest natural/uncooked foods for humans.
Can +1 with my anecdotal evidence too. Indian vegetarian diet is pretty heavy on lentils. They're not that bad :)
Nearly all the fat and cholesterol in an egg is in the yolk. Egg white is pretty much just protein.
Before Xbox PIX, graphics debugging involved thinking really hard about a huge state machine that lives in a separate, uninspectable memory space and is modified in hundreds of locations in your program. After PIX, graphics debugging became easier and more fun than any other system I've seen. The operation of the whole machine is laid out visually in a scrubbable timeline. All of your assumptions are easily testable. Its heaven, I tell ya.

If ApiTrace can get close to the functionality of PIX in a cross-platform, cross-API, open-source way... Its a big deal for me, at least. :)
I hate to whine, but has an editor/admin looked at the volume of bitcoin submissions and any possible voting block behavior on the stories? A new bitcoin story seems to have shown up every few days for the past several months, with many of the same posters adding support in the comments every time.

Let's take this story for example. Let's frame it in general terms. A leader of an open source project is going to be speaking in a few months at a meeting that isn't open to the public, and he doesn't suggest he'll be presenting anything new.

Would this be newsworthy on HN for any normal project? Highly unlikely. Many of the bitcoin stories seem to be similar - press about bitcoin that offers nothing that hasn't been said here 100 times.

If the voting and interest is organic, then fine, so be it. But maybe somebody could take a look and see. There is an obvious incentive to certain speculators holding bitcoin to hype it as much as possible in an attempt to fuel the already extreme fluctuations that occur in its trading.
From reading it appears that the basic concept is:

1) Web app inside user browser (unhosted app seems to be defined as an app that runs in the browser, client side)

2) Web app communicates with a 'personal server', basically a server that handles that and only that users data

3) 'personal server' is the thing that brokers connections with the outside world, but doesn't have to interact with a browser app if it isn't required to.

4) Here comes the bit that's actually hard and it gets a bit low on detail:

"There are situations where going through a third party is unavoidable, for instance if a certain guitar dealer only sells on eBay, or a certain friend of yours only posts on Facebook. For each of these "worlds", we will develop application-agnostic gateway modules that we can add to our personal server. Usually this will require having a "puppet" account in that world, which this gateway module can control. Sometimes, it is necessary to use an API key before your personal server can connect to control your "puppet", but these are usually easy to obtain. To the people in each world, your puppet will look just like any other user account in there. But the gateway module on your personal server allows unhosted web apps to control it, and to "see" what it sees.
Even assuming the margin on rent is similar to the interest on a mortgage, mortgages end. Renting does not.

So financially, unless the mortgage is much more expensive, buying is a better decision.
Similar products to this exist - wonder.me, and gather.town.
I find it fascinating that we're using an overall linear model (Quantum Physics) of our non-linear reality, particularly the bits that are less linear (Bose Einstein condensates) to approximate linear solutions to non-linear models (flow dynamics, etc) of said non-linear reality.
In the longer term, we'll say "That will never happen here!" while repeating exactly the chain of events that caused it this time.
That is what I was referring to : the spirit is not there (hardly ever was fully there anyway to be honest, IMHO).
So many nostalgia elements in this article but zombocom really was the one that got me too.
There are other paths at Google than upgrading to mgmt, but all of them involve "cross-team collaboration" and other quasi-political (with a small-p) aspects.

Actually just writing code at Google is, from my experience, a small part of the job and not rewarded. The faster you get out of writing code and get into designing and delegating it, the better you're off. Sucks if you don't like it.

Coming up with a way to reward and improve nose to the grindstone technical contribution seems to me key to having an effective organization.

EDIT: also consider, doing management or team lead at a company like Google is so different from, say, a small company, that the trajectory may make no sense for somebody. Before I came to Google I felt myself on a career track that was team-lead/architect focused, mgmt interest, etc. Once I got there, that evaporated. I just couldn't imagine myself doing that kind of work in this large of a company.
PPP makes no sense, I know economists use it all the time, but some goods are expensive and some are not across countries - food is cheap in India, there are massive subsidies around it. Anything imported is expensive - cars, electronics, foreign liquor. It's cheap and it's continuing to drop. And it's in no way $1.91 from an Indian perspective.
If you're not making the monthly payments then that's still a default. I don't see how the interest changes anything.

I guess you could argue if the bank is not paying interest on that money, then they won't lose anything if the client is in default. I think there's probably still opportunity costs to the bank in that case - they could be loaning that money to a client that pays additional fees and makes the payments on time. But I imagine they would still foreclose and sell the asset to recover the principal in that case. Which might turn a profit for them.
The suggested schedule is ridiculous, and I am not convinced it’s a good way for preparing for the interview.

Still, the author didn’t say that he actually got the job.
Telegram is a great alternative to WhatsApp. It's better in almost every aspect, as far as I can tell.
Honestly, guys, I wouldn't read too much into all of this. If you've been around "the internet" for very long, you should have a pretty finely tuned "bullshit detector".

There were a lot of people who were running proxies, and TOR exit nodes, and VPN endpoints, and FTP dumps, and soforth, and those services absolutely were used to smuggle photos and videos out of the country while things were being filtered.

Behind all of the "make your twitter pic green, set your timezone to tehran!" etc. etc. there was really amazingly good reporting happening via the internet.

Did most of it happen via twitter? Probably not, but it certainly did help things spread when they did happen...granted, if you're just watching a hashtag that anybody can tag things with...then you're probably not getting much legitimate news.

Use your mind when reading the news, this shouldn't be anything new.

Confession-I can't program! I can talk with you about it for hours, from calling conventions, concurrency methods. I started messing around in Python when I was about 14. But because I've never sat down and finished something, I don't have the practice.

I'm smart, but I don't Get Things Done.
[A] nation will not collect taxes and instead say they will let the riches from natural resources trickle down to the citizenry. This enables dictatorships/political elites to remain entrenched at their expense.

Sounds like Alberta.
I agree, it breaks up the writing. Text flows in a list, continues to flow in the list, and the flow continues and then there is an abrupt "and", as I just did, which jarringly breaks the flow.
I don't think it's about functional programming, not even type systems. It's about all the idiosyncrasies Haskell throws at the programmer. Even the author adds in the end:

> I still don't really understand free. I definitely don't have a clue what kan-extensions are in general, or what Coyoneda is specifically.

So, he got a working program (because it's assumed it works if it compiles), but can't explain why, what the components are or do. I'm sure there are a plethora of strong points about Haskell, but his conclusion that you can just gloss over it is not making a good case for it in my opinion, it's actually a huge red flag.
> As an undergraduate student, I found that writing a summary of everything I had learned in a class was one of the best ways to study for an exam. I would just sit down with a blank piece of paper and try to summarize everything as precisely as possible. Ultimately, writing your own textbook would be a very effective way to learn the material.

Amen.

Back when I was tutoring a lot, I used to ask the students to keep a "master formula sheet" and continuously add formulas to it. In the final review session, I asked them to explain each math formula in plain English, e.g F=ma --> forces cause acceleration (and the acceleration produced by a force is inversely proportional to the mass of the object). I could immediately tell who understood the material and who was trying to get by on memorization.

Another useful exercise is to pretend you forgot your "formula sheet" and try to reproduce it from scratch. If you can't it means you're not solving enough problems---after solving 5-10 problems using a given formula, you start to remember it, and not as a string, but as an idea. You can forget a string; you can't forget an idea.
It's entirely possible to be internally driven and to still not function well in a school. (Unless you think the only purpose students should pursue is "succeeding in school".)
While I would buy music or movies if I could, in most cases I don't and use torrents because -

1. Most content is not available in my country (including services like Netflix). As one of the goals of my life is learning about various cultures through their movies, I would rather pirate than not watch.

2. Even if content is available, they are heavily censored. I refuse to watch this censored stuff.

3. The price is outrageous. I am not going to pay for stuff whose price is equivalent to the dollar amount after conversion.
For me, the negotiation has been different with each job, and has depended on whether I sought them out or they sought me out. You don't say your situation. Let's assume I'm satisfied in my current role, and a recruiter is cold-contacting me.

If their initial pitch goes well, and they ask about my comp requirements, I know that I'm supposed to have them make the first offer, but I will usually offer a salary and equity number. Granted, that's considered by many a negotiation mistake. So, I will say that I will not consider less than x$ and y-equity, but that it will likely take more. Depends on how the interview process goes and what I learn. But they're numbers that, if we end up there, will be better than my current situation.

So, then things go well, and they make an offer, usually at or very close to what I told them. I've always countered some bump in salary or equity from that, but a package that if they accept, I will accept.

For me personally, money is no longer the top factor, I don't particularly enjoy negotiation, and I'm usually also talking by this point with my potential new boss. So, I willingly make the process pretty streamlined at the expense of possibly squeezing out a little more. That approach is not right for everyone.

That said, I think companies fully expect some negotiation. So whatever negotiation tactic you take, as long as it's respectful, will not hurt your chances of ultimately getting the new gig. In other words, they won't withdraw an offer or anything if you negotiate.
This literally changes everything.
It would be interesting to know what percent of these vulnerabilities are remote.
It's even easier if you measure per week instead of per year since a week has ~10,000 minutes.

Then the rule of thumb is 10 minutes is 0.1%, 1 minute is 0.01%, and 6 seconds is 0.001%; or 10 mins = 99.9%, 1 min = 99.99%, and 6 seconds = 99.999% respectively.

(Note that 6 seconds a week * 52 weeks = 5.2 minutes, same as the reference table above.)

Programmers don't think in years, but they can think in "any given week". This rule of thumb puts things in an easy-to-remember perspective.
When investors throw their money away in startups like 'color', that is not a bubble, just sheer stupidity.

When joe sixpack 'invests' his house in facebook's ipo, then borrows some money to invest in groupon's; that, my friends, is a bubble.

We'll be there in a couple of years, nobody can escape from that. The hype machines will be in full swing with ten posts per day on the front page feeding the frenzy, tv shows, newspapers headlines about the best initial day for an IPO since google, everybody making millions overnight and nobody wants to be left behind. We all know that feeling.

Then joe sixpack enters the party, and the bubble pops.
it does matter. if the rate of growth of US internet users was greater back then, then it could be assumed that internet based companies would grow faster.
Yes. No. I imagine most people here (judging by the comments) misread the headline and the URL it was on and then commented without going further than that. This results in a bunch of posts which parrot the original article and add nothing of value. They simple add useless noise.

A few of us can safely sit here and comment, and vote down the comments that do not offer any insight or contribute to the content of HN, but I fear we are in the minority.
Checkout Appcelerator Titanium http://www.appcelerator.com/ ... I took a look at Phonegap first and for whatever reason overlooked Appcelerator...Phonegap is great but has a lot of limitations once you want to get beyond the basics.

Appcelerator's "kitchen sink" demo is an awesome demonstration of what you can do with it, and contains some great code to get started. https://github.com/appcelerator/KitchenSink

What shows this?

Android is Google. Google is Android. Google decides.
I'd speculate that the browser is the biggest firehose through which the junk can come in.

http://qubes-os.org/Screenshots.html shows two browser windows, which is great. Now, what I do not see is the interaction from the HCI side.

Two browser windows - "secure" and "non-secure" are quite a pain to work with if one has to copy/paste links manually.
CakePHP is nice and easy to learn, easier to deploy. It's not as trendy as RoR but there are a vast amount of easy to integrate PHP resources.
You're right, that would be a better choice. Thanks!
In Buddha's view life itself is a misery/suffering (his term was "Dukkha"). Yes, I can agree with you and support imposing limits upon our world and evolution, or I can recognize that we might be subjective in our assertions, much too subjective sometimes.
Ubiq (YC company) interviewed me with an 8 hour assignment that had ridiculously challenging requirements. It was very fun because there was no way any normal human could do it in 8 hours... but how far could I get? And they paid me for 8 hours working on it.

I felt this was good. I got paid and it was a fun challenge. It also obviously wasn't "actual work," but even if it was, I was getting paid, so why not?

I don't think it would have been out of the question to say I was too busy to dedicate 8 hours either, but in my case I had the time.

Overall it was an excellent experience.
Facebook isn't concerned with what happens within the Facebook App itself. Everything there is already tracked and filtered. What they are most concerned about is that a huge pile of outside apps which are feeding them data by including their APIs will opt out of including Facebook's APIs because the indie apps don't want to display this warning.
Lossy transcodes always cause sound quality to deteriorate due to the way these "perceptual codecs" were designed to discard audio data to save space. Better to choose the more appropriate format for your needs, and not convert it.
I am so pumped for geometry nodes (and the broader effort, "everything nodes"). Tools like Houdini have been doing this for years and the stuff you can build with it is just... wow.

Looks like the nodes selection for this first iteration is a little bare, but that's okay. Gotta start somewhere
What's stopping you from quitting Facebook right now and how does this change that?
I am ready for metric fuck ton of downvotes.

Why don’t people keep this shit a secret man? This profession has been looked down on for years, and this is just bad for my brand man.

I’m happy for everyone that makes it, but Jesus, ‘nocsdegree.com’, like we’re proud of this now? Keep it on the down-low.
That's a really good idea! We're going to take a pass at building that.
I'm not sure what you're saying, but I appreciate that you put more effort into saying it than ten other HN posts combined.
On one hand, it's argued that Apple has an incentive to act against their customers because they want to sell apps on the app store.

On the other hand, it's argued that Apple doesn't care about their developers because they enforce draconian regulations on what iOS developers are allowed and not allowed to do, and don't hesitate even to shut down billion dollar apps (i.e., Fortnite).

I have mixed feelings about Apple's walled garden, both as a developer and a user, but when it comes to user privacy, I'm firmly in Apple's camp. I can't think of a single other large tech company that has a strong stand in favor of user privacy and acted on that. Basically, if Privacy is a killer feature for a consumer, then Apple is literally the only game in town.
Overclocking chips does tend to cause power usage to spike, yes. That's not exactly a new thing, nor is the increase that surprising. A slight bump to voltage will cause power consumption to skyrocket. Heck, i9-7980XE's at 4.9ghz are pushing 1kW in consumption. Hence why intel's 28 core @ 5ghz demo used a 1700W capable cooler.
