There is no longer awe associated with breaking records/introducing diverse tech into motorsports anymore. I guess previous generations had it better as they could watch how somebody breaks 190, 200, 210, ... mph barrier, run engines with 900, 1000, 1100hp for the first time, run two sets of rear or front wheels etc. None of that applies now, motorsports are now regulated and consolidated. New revival attempts introduce super ugly cars (look at IndyCars in the past 10 years, or even current Formula E), all mind-blowing racing that deviates from the norm is now banned (Zanardi's "The Pass" can't happen anymore), engines can't be pushed to higher hp unless we want to allow multiple casualties per race, as Firestone Firehawk 600 shown us in 2001 we already crossed the threshold of what humans can withstand and had to backtrack... F1 is now boring (who cares that some German guy in a red car wins?) and mainly a world unto itself with very little connection to the real world as the rules are a result of decades of political fights (i.e. they aren't representing technological pinnacle of what is possible rather what powerful people allowed each other). There were glimmers of interesting things happening with drifting etc. but they never had mainstream potential. I really don't see much future in this, the existing motorsports can be probably milked for a while with a proper marketing strategy, but the future lies elsewhere.
Just a comment: This page is awesome and I have used the crap out of it in the past.

Once, I printed a lot of it on a large format printer so I would have it handy while administering a mixed Unix shop. HP/UX, IRIX, Solaris, Linux...
The author is doing this against his neighbour's modem.

He isn't connecting to the same modem twice.

You seem to be dripping misplaced condescension all over the floor - would you like me to fetch a mop?
When CoreOS abandoned btrfs, it made me seriously start to consider the Joyent SDC stack, above all else just because ZFS can answer the storage question in a way that seemingly nothing on Linux will be able to provide in the near future
It is not the DDos that I have a problem with. It is the centralization of the Internet that I have a problem with. Host your own shit, pay your own costs. This way if somebody gets pissed at you for your shit code, you don't cause problems for me and my shit code.
Agree with the aside: if you want more detail view his comment history and you'll see at least some of these stories spelled out in more detail—though still less detail than I want.
"is this really possible?"

Well, sure.. of course it is possible, just a lot more work because the divide between having logic on the client and no logic on the client is quite big thus you often end up needing to solve problems in two ways (and these differences can permeate various layers of the app) and then commit to maintaining both.

"such as the user typing into a box in a real time search application"

Well you could always just not support real-time search if JavaScript is not enabled. The argument that JavaScript should be optional for all sites sort of pre-assumes that the experience when running sans JavaScript will be different, but you'll be able to get the same things done. In this one specific situation the difference being that you won't get any search feedback until you actually submit the form, old-school web style.

Hi spoonjim! In our experience it's important to train your ears to listen to native speakers as early as possible in the learning process. However, you are correct that listening to slow speaking is also very pedagogical -- this is exactly why we provide a 0.5x speed version of the audio, alongside the 1x (native-like) version.
Just because you learned using a more complex tool doesn't mean it wouldn't be easier for most students to learn using a less complex tool. It just means learning with a complex tool is possible. I don't think anyone would argue against that. They're just arguing it might be easier the other way around.
why was their election coverage a disaster? because they called AZ first?
Looks easy to use. Is it possible to use with server side rendering?
Yes, I pay for YNAB and have for years, because otherwise I would have to rebuild it in Excel and my version would be terrible. It's well-designed, it's fun to use, it makes me less anxious about the state of my finances and it helps me to spend and save more responsibly.
While it was never my primary bank, I’ve been a Simple customer since it was in beta and still known as Bank Simple. I’ve searched my email, checked the announcements in the app, and checked the website, but there’s no mention of them closing. You can even still apply for accounts online. Talk about mismanagement!
I can't speak for the OP but, since you are a contractor and not an employee, wouldn't you get your health insurance in exactly the same place as all the other independent contractors do in your country?

[Edit to clarify because this is being downvoted: many countries require that independent contractors buy private health insurance. Germany, where I live, requires it. As I understand it the situation is similar, for different reasons, in the USA. So independent contractors are very often all in the same boat, insurance-wise, but that boat varies by country.]
Most anarchists around the world would say that it's not possible except for mutualists. What you're talking about is what Americans call libertarianism.
> I was on a team building good old crud apps using monads, monoids, categories, combinators, effects cats, seamless and bunch of other nonsense that i've now purged from my brain.

Ah I had the same experience.

That this is allowed to happen just shows that putting naive non-technical managers in charge of coders is a disaster.
if by ipads you mean iPad Pro, I think you might be thinking of the new MAcbook Air, the iPad pro steals the iPhone 11's 7MP front facing camera and does 1080/60 from the front facing camera.
Yea you made me just go check a bunch of my logs too. I still had the normal brute force level at least for the last few days. Still strange though.
That’s strange, usually if you buy hardware with Linux in mind and use stable software packages then you have little to worry about.

Typically Intel GPUs were a safe bet across the board and you had to avoid some of the other ones.

I’m curious to read more into what went wrong, it seems to be across a few bug reports.
This is also true for Google, though. Cloud is a low-margin business compared to everything else Google sells, and the bigger cloud becomes the worse Google's quarterly reports look.
And in WWII. And in the Falklands war.
Obstructive sleep apnea is terrible. I am thin but have a malformed throat/jaw so I have OSA. Fortunately, mandibular advancement devices worked well for me but you can only use them for 8-10 years before they permanently adjust your bite. I used one religiously in my late 20's early 30's and it was great, but I have since moved to CPAP full time using nasal pillows and a chin strap off Amazon to keep my mouth closed. I also sleep on a 7deg straight incline (whole bed, not wedge). Putting all these things together works wonders for me. I am also APOE3 heterozygote so I am super fastidious about proper sleep hygiene to ensure lymphatic clearance of beta-amyloid plaque. The no alcohol before bed is super important, but I have a hard time holding to it--I'll get there eventually. Overall, there is nothing to do about it. The only surgical options are terrible and the new electrostimulatory devices are promising but new and therefore long-term effects are unknown. I hope we reach a point where there is a "cure", but for me it's doubtful.
And yet you also tell people to share a single gmail account for the solo plan shared with family...

...I fail to see how this is a good model for security.
I appreciate your desire to point to the research. Many if not most of the comments in this thread are rejecting it out of hand without even looking at it. That's disappointing and, given the topic, ironic.

However, breaking the HN guidelines against shallow dismissals, snark, and sneering is definitely not a good way to make this point. Besides adding poison to the ecosystem, posts like this have no persuasive power—in fact they have negative persuasive power: they reinforce the very thing you're complaining about.

A better way would be to take a look at the actual research and bring in some interesting countervailing information that you find there. If you don't want to do that or don't have time to do it, that's fine, but please don't make empty spiteful posts.

I can assure you, it's real! I got mine in the mail on Monday!

Caveat: I have not attained reception yet, because of obstacles.

The North America kit comes with:

- Low Noise Block Downconverter (LNB) antenna, capable of Ku-Band reception of the SES-2 satellite. Must be pointed very accurately: elevation, azimuth AND rotating for polarization

- Crappy little tripod, good enough to get started

- An acrylic laser-cut LNB collar to hold the antenna on the tripod, which I immediately snapped.

- A 1GHz arm based board with embedded software defined radio.

- An 802.11n dongle.

Here's a youtube overview of the desktop environment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TuNVC0Vw2Y&t=281s

Basically, the board receives compressed tar files in the data stream and caches them on a secondary microSD card. You access that content with various linux desktop apps served over a webdesktop.
The difference being that in the 90's we actually did things to prevent Y2K from becoming a problem.
Yes, nailed it.

Mgmt/non-sec care about pretty clear, often profit-oriented metrics (ROI, etc.). There is such a clear precedent for successfully internally selling, implementing, and creating buy-in for cost-producing (i.e. infosec) but business-saving practices. Insurance, financial risk departments, legal departments etc. etc. etc. Sec can fall under that too. Sec people don't bother to learn the language 90% of the time. Sec people then burn out because they feel they're paddling nowhere.

Failure to learn that ^ language as a sec eng, means you fail to learn how to successfully implement sec in a way that has lasting buy-in. It's doable. It takes a bit of leadership, a bit of buzzword-learning.

If you want to play ball with mgmt and not be a mindless keyboard monkey sec eng who has no care if people care about sec or not, you must be able to take all those sec thoughts, distill it into 3 power point slides and 120 seconds of 'so what,' and be ok doing it over and over.
I disagree. The contours of our world are shaped by the quality of our cybersecurity, to the point that it's the water we swim in and we just don't see it any more.

Some examples: The last US election was won in large part through highly-targeted influence campaigns run based on stolen data. Not to mention the triggering of Brexit. The influence of the NSA / Russia / Five Eyes / etc on geopolitics hinges on poor cybersecurity. I think it would be silly to assume all of the recent leaks we see come from "inside the building".

The entire economics and solution space of what is possible on the internet is shaped by our cybersecurity standards. What would the internet look like if payments and spam were easy instead of hard, or if DDOS was hard instead of easy? I might hazard a guess that this is one factor of many that drives the centralisation of tech into monopolies.

A positive externality: The general failure of the tech industry to develop good content protection has enabled widespread software and media piracy. I might suspect this has allowed second and third world countries to uplift faster than otherwise possible (sci-hub anyone?) while also removing a tool of empire from the first world.
On COBRA, wife and 2 year old kid. I pay 1900 per month for Anthem Blue Cross plus dental and vision benefits. I’m in California. I’m self employed and COBRA runs out soon, but everything on the exchange is about the same amount.
Some of them are complicated crud web apps.
> This is precisely what every linux distro does. Nix isn't providing novel functionality for bootable OS images.

None of them provide native, single-source-of-truth declarative configuration that is easy to reason about, pure, and guaranteed to deliver sane results every time (vs. something managed via a classic CM system). Oh, also one that it symmetrical to the way the distribution itself is built and managed.

> But a bigger question for the ergonomics of NixOS: Are NixOS and Nix prebuilding for ARM now?

Yes. https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM/Raspberry_Pi

Ports to other ARM devices are also very easy.
>Why do you believe that it’s more likely for several factors to have roughly equal importance than for one factor to be the most important?

if you pick n numbers at random, it's not likely that one of them is bigger than the half of their sum.
Non-PHP, non-Laravel person here just trying to learn. That looks pretty good to me. What bad practices does it encourage?
Fallout was simply amazing -- the market will never support something so cerebral, difficult, and stunning.

PS:T transcended the genre, though.
For instance, in one book (which was much better than most), the author said that a 27-inch gear was the equivalent of walking.

I'm not sure what 27-inches means. I have a 28 tooth back/42 front as my minimum. One day climbing Centiniel drive - to the Lawrence Hall of Science, I noticed an old guy walking was quite able to keep up with me.
I made this point under another parent: $300k includes opportunity cost. Adding four years' salary (even with only a high school diploma) to four years' $40k tuition and living expenses, $300k doesn't seem so farfetched.

Of course, that definition of opportunity cost neglects the pleasures (both intellectual and hedonistic) of spending four years on a campus rather than a job site.
What are all the Node web frameworks that are being actively developed? Here are the ones I could find:

Sorry, but Fallout 3 was nowhere near the first two Fallouts when it comes to "Choices and Consequences".

It was fun blowing stuff up in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. But it wasn't a true successor.
That's what I do at 2 UK airports, where the flow is:

check-in/luggage -> pass check -> security queue -> security check -> boarding lounge -> boarding gate check

If you have the online checkin, you go straight to the pass check (where they only scan the checkin to see if they should allow you in at all - no documents check or anything else). So I'm skipping the security queue and go straight into the security check basically (after reprinting). It doesn't work in London for example, where the first pass check is done automatically on machines and there's no queue before them.
Nice article, very practical. Didn't realize you could do duck typing in scala like that. Thanks
Missile defense is a dicey topic. In the 1980s the Soviet Union realized that they could not afford their own anti-missile systems, or make their ICBMs resistant to US anti-missile systems. This was partly responsible for increased tensions as the Soviet Union faced an existential threat of losing a nuclear war.

They responded by participating in arms reduction treaties which had the same effect as the US building an anti-missile system which could intercept 95% of Russian weapons. If the US built a full missile defense umbrella, adversaries would respond by building enough weapons to defeat the umbrella.
The onus is on Intel to provide a solution that is sound. That said, there's no reason to assume that what they're doing is impossible, any more so than assuming that cryptography in general is impossible.
How does slowing things down make social engineering easier?

That’s a security term, and I’m not quite sure how it’s relevant to the OP.
This looks pretty cool. My main question is: what would I have to do if I require an AWS component that is not supported by this tool? What is the developer experience of having to include a CloudFormation stack alongside this solution?

Asking because I see this as the #1 obstacle to getting buy-in in certain corporate environments. If we need a bit more flexibility, what does that look like?
Account takeover for services where you registered the phone number for verification.
Since when was "having fun", "enjoying things", and "being creative" infantile?
Leap seconds adjust clocks which are run at an atomic standardized rate to meet the astronomical reality and keep UTC in sync. So far there have be 18 seconds of correction. Leap seconds are a bad idea. They confuse geophysical data. The interval of time between two measurements is not the difference between the clock values when the measurements were made.
This is a spot on point. My prediction is that it wouldn't be able to. Given its difficulty to generate correct counts of glasses, it seems as though it still struggles with systematic generalization and compositionality. As a point of reference, cherrypicking aside, it could model obscure but probably well-defined baby daikon radish in tutu walking dog, but couldn't model red on green on blue cubes. Maybe more sequential perception, action, video data or system-2 like paradigm, but it remains to be seen.
I thought research showed it saves lives, since accidents (car and work-related) are higher after daylight switches.
I just wished it used Clickhouse as persistence layer.
Where? I just searched for microSD card, and there is nowhere on the left side to filter by seller. There used to be an option where you could check mark which sellers you wanted to see offerings from.

I definitely remember 10+ years ago, being able to restrict searches to items sold by "Amazon.com" by clicking the check box. Then they gradually removed it for certain searches. Sometimes, the option to filter by Amazon.com would show up, and sometimes it wouldn't. I thought I was going crazy for a while. Then I realized what they were doing, and then in a few years they got rid of the option completely.

Not that it would make a difference anyway, since Amazon commingles inventory with other random sellers so you never know which supply chain you're actually getting the item from.
I would expect that malicious code would itself not be a proper backdoor, but rather a framework or hook or API that makes it easier to bypass restrictions. Subtle behavioral changes in the kernel combined with user space code could empower a state actor to move unnoticed. I think of it like 20 parts of a munition. Each piece by itself may look mostly harmless. This is all theory of course, but that is how I would do something malicious in the kernel. A theoretical example would be a simple kernel API combined with something like systemd's binfmt mount and a benign looking PNG image file that when parsed by binfmt, instructs the kernel to do something interesting such as tickle an undocumented CPU instruction.
You can't just compare what US does to some individuals, and what China does to the entire minority populations of Uighurs (13M people) or Tibetans (7M), like harvesting their organs for example

Ha, I love it. I have two opinions that fall into that category. One is that people shouldn't own pets. Least of all sapient creatures like dogs. I'd wager that will become a common point of view a century or two after I'm gone.

The other one (relevant to this thread) is that Facebook is a great product and people only hate it now because it's a such a horrendously efficient mirror of the ugliness of humanity.
No it can't. You believe an acceptable response to Schrodingers Cat is that even if the cats alive maybe killing it is ok if it means you can sell the box. You then justify it by saying a lot of good things could come from the money we might get if we can sell the box.

None of those potentials are sacrificed, they just as much both exist and do not exist as they did before a hypothetical intervention based on human rights abuses.
Edge content yes, but everything else is in AWS
At startup school, Adam D'Angelo (Quora founder) said they spent days at the beginning asking and answering questions on Quora. Sometimes you have to jumpstart the community with efforts that don't scale.

It might be interesting to hear how HN started gaining traction. I know the old YC application asked about your Slashdot profile, so I imagine a group of people there felt there was a need for new community.
I think it's cool too, since every possibility has a non-zero probability of occurring, so I can attempt absolutely anything I want, no matter how crazy, and somewhere I will have succeeded. I don't even have to put in any effort.

Of course, if the set of possibly horrible things is much larger than that of possibly great things, then yes reality sucks. Given that there are always many more ways things can go wrong than right, I guess reality sucks.

So, the end result is I don't even have to do anything and my dreams come true, but that doesn't matter because so do my nightmares, and there are more of them.
Coffeescript is great in theory. The problem is that when debugging stuff in the browser, you're going to be looking at Javascript in Chrome Developer Tools or Firebug. You can hopefully do an inverse mapping from generated JS to the corresponding line in Coffeescript...but that's kind of a pain, especially because it's not a line for line conversion.

Short of patching Chrome Dev Tools to support stepping through Coffeescript itself, not sure how to fix that.
JC.is appears to be Calacanis's personal URL shortener.
I believe Hindu cosmologies put our universe's lifespan on the order of trillions of years.
If you had to live only from BCC's profits alone (25k~ this year), would you be able to?
If you only want to learn one language you can just do server-side JS. That said, it's hard to go wrong with Python.
As far as I understand, mathematically von Neumann's computers simply use some specific algebra that is decidedly different from naïve arithmetic. It is actually very useful in certain applications, such as cryptography, that rely on its algebraic properties. It may or may not be good approximation for some numeric problems, but it is generally faster then working out elaborate mathematical structures.

But I'm only an ignorant student, and I wonder if these solutions are really significantly more effective than implementing the number tower or switching to bignums? What are the best practices and the consensus among professionals that have to deal with inadequacies of floating-point number in real-world numeric applications?
I never use travel agents for standard things (hotels/flights/cars) and only hire them for long, complex itineraries (2 countries, 8 cities in Asia over 4 weeks, etc.).

Both Conde Nast Traveler and Travel+Leisure Magazine publish A-List or "Gold List" travel agents who specialize in a certain region... These are not the guys that work in your local shopping centre or mall.

I've always argued in defense of Manning's actions, but simultaneously that he did break military law and should we be a nation of laws, he should be treated accordingly.

I was wrong.

The State breaks the law. And it does so daily. For helping to point this out Mr. Manning deserves a prize, not a punishment.
"Founders" don't need and probably won't cash out.
Incorrect. Walmart and Target sell food much cheaper than your locally-owned coffee shops.
