That kind of policy means that people with PTSD from dogs who are desperate for a job will sign up and WILL experience PTSD and WILL endanger riders.

It's a shitty policy IMO.
I’m aware, that’s why I said this will remove the bottleneck :)
That's because you guys have reasonable gas taxes that discourage driving. But in the US gas is so cheap it doesn't matter to most people middle class and above.
I guess the could encrypt the data that ends up on the platters so that it would look like random noise to any attacker recovering the platters from a broken drive that was not physically destroyed?

Of course that has both performance and data corruption scenarios that one needs to take into account.
Absolute bravo. Thank you for supporting native platform features, your work was a shining example that others should strive to emulate.
I just use the small reference C implementation of CommonMark and it works great:

https://github.com/commonmark/cmark

There is an example where you load it via shared library in Python, i.e. send a Markdown string and get back an HTML string.
> This is the pragmatic approach to the issue

There is nothing pragmatic in helping Facebook dominate our lives entirely.
In addition to all the other reasons, 5.25" floppy disks were genuinely 'floppy' and easily damaged by wear and tear, so there are far fewer of them around in sufficiently good condition to be worth trying to read.
When you mine Bitcoins, there is a reward. To constrain supply, Bitcoin's algorithm cuts that reward in half approximately every 4 years. This reduces the increase in supply. Prior bubbles have correlated with these "halvenings", typically about a year or so later. (2012/2013, 2016/2017, 2020/2021)
> The huge value of HN is especially that it supports critical thinking.

By what mechanism? It's a basic reddit-style forum that allows comments and up- and down-voting. What's the secret sauce that causes Hacker News to "support critical thinking"?

The answer isn't secret, and it's pretty simple: there are commenting guidelines[1]. If you don't follow the guidelines, your posts are killed. If you repeatedly don't follow the guidelines, your account is restricted.

This is the same exact mechanism that distinguishes subreddits with high-quality comment sections (/r/science, /r/askhistorians) from the rest. And it's worth noting that even the rest have some forms of moderation. You'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere on the Internet with no moderation that hasn't become an absolute cesspool dominated by the worst possible actors.

> As far as I know and saw, @dang and co try to be involved the minimum with the platform

If I'm reading this right, you acknowledge that @dang and co have the power to moderate Hacker News essentially however they see fit, and yet you simultaneously recognize that they're capable of exercising these powers judiciously and only when needed.

Maybe sit back and reflect on that for a minute.

> ...in a few years I never saw content that was censored by the moderator.

You can literally see a graveyard of three dead comments on this very thread, that are invisible to anyone who doesn't have `showdead` flag turned on. It's not remotely difficult to find accounts whose posts are hidden by default from the community as a whole, to the point where some people make a point of notifying individuals who've been commenting for years without realizing that nobody can see their posts.

The fact that you don't personally see moderation is not evidence that there's no moderation.

1. copyright infringement

Downloading this torrent is willful copyright infringement of nissan's copyrighted code.

2. CFAA

If you live in the US, the CFAA is a very poorly worded law that can be abused by a company with over-eager lawyers.

Effectively, the law states that it's a crime to "exceed authorized access" of computer systems.

It's borderline, but it's possible nissan could take anyone who downloads this data to court claiming that they were not authorized to access the data on the git server, and knowingly downloading that data constitutes a CFAA violation.

I don't think it would stand up in court (other than the original hacker who guessed 'admin/admin', which was def a CFAA violation), but I also don't think most of us have enough money to spend on lawyers to defend ourselves.
I don't doubt that OpenSSH is immune to this attack, but in general CTR nonces are just as tricky to get right as CBC IVs, and when you get a CTR nonce wrong the whole cipher blows up. Smarter people than me disagree with me when I say this, but if you're a casual crypto protocol person, CBC is the safer choice.
The UDID is used as a verification process in order to get credit for downloading apps. It's just a slightly different validation system than apperang.com and tapzilla.com
"I present the cardboard computer (case): "

The case is probably the most recyclable part of a computer, unless there's something funky about the plastics used. An aluminum MacBook Pro case could be melted down, or, hell, probably used as-is as raw material to machine new small parts.
I hate to do this, but...

Citation? Source?

You read the book "about fifteen years ago". Knowing something about guns (in particular .45's and .22's) and the fallibility of human memory, it is reasonable to remain skeptical.
On some level it makes me feel better about handing over personal data when the company doesn't act asshole-ish.

As well meaning as all of the employees at Google are, and as far as they'll go to do the right thing (far, in my experience), from what I understand of our legal system, it's really the role of government to protect you from corporations mis-purposing your data. The free market isn't meant to be a democratic institution, and while some top executives have a certain talent for aligning stockholders interests with those of their users, the system they operate within simply isn't designed with democratic responsibility in mind.

It's a good idea to create a new browser that updates automatically every few weeks like chrome rather than IE, which normally can't update automatically because of corporate policies.

If IE is there primarily to access the corporate intranet and other work-related sites, as usually seems to be the case in this kind of environment, then that stability is a feature, not a bug.

The last thing you need as a sysadmin for an organisation with thousands of members is someone who thinks they know better "upgrading" their browser to a new version that no longer works properly with critical business sites/apps, has unknown or at least untested-by-IT security issues that therefore may or may not require mitigation at corporate tooling level, and so on. This is particularly true if, as almost invariably seems to be the case, that individual won't be the person who takes the flak when something breaks, violates regulatory compliance, creates a security problem, etc.

I doubt there is a single organisation anywhere in the world that has IE locked down at corporate level, yet where any legitimate business purpose would be better served by having browser software updated every few weeks.
why not just split it up with an OTP, that you store in the code (or a file), then the other half in the environmental variable. combine in code (or include the file). seems like that would work. (you need both parts.)

I think this article is a response to people's practice of keeping API keys as an environmental variable so as to keep them off of the filesystem (or at least what git sees and checks in) so that they don't accidentally publish them, as happened in that article article where some gem he was using to respect .gitignore didn't work for some reason.

would this work as a solution?
cool, i had not heard of this. i just started using docker for work and came to the conclusion that it was epically well-suited to this purpose as well. i think docker might be even nicer, since there is no special tools required [but ill definitely take a closer look at this work]
Network Locum, London (http://www.networklocum.com)

Network Locum is an online marketplace matching temporary (locum) GPs with practices looking to find someone to cover a session. We get over 10000 sessions posted every month, and are

Our technology stack comprises mainly of interconnected microservices in Python and Django chattering over Redis, with some Backbone.JS giving our frontend a bit of dazzle. It’s quite cool.

What we believe in
* Getting stuff done
* Testing quickly and often
* Making informed, data-driven decisions
* Lean principles and Agile + Scrum project management
* Developers spending their time doing what they do best: developing
* Cultural fit is as important as raw technical skills are

We have an office in Shoreditch which our team of 12 works out of. If you’d like to join us and be challenged on a daily basis, while having fun with great people, then shoot us your github profile to michael@networklocum.com
"To become the expert, you need more projects. They can be smaller, experimental, and even be isolated parts of a non-existent larger app."

This is so true. A lot of the 'experienced' people I've met in the industry with 10 or 15 years behind them have done nothing but their jobs in that time to practice their art, and their 'experience' is therefore of such low quality that an exceptionally good junior with a few hobby projects behind them can outclass them even in their own specialist area.
That's interesting, because I block analytics and some other Google domains and I use Bing.

Why push SSL so hard for sites many of which are just public info anyway? Because then you can't really use proxies so almost always 1 connection is 1 person.

The HTTP connection timeout is like 15 seconds or less in popular software. One of the justifications for SPDY/HTTP2 is that with one connection it can be kept open for many minutes or even hours without using too many resources.

Instead of many separate, possibly proxied connections to doubleclick you have one connection that lasts maybe even a whole browsing session. Google may not need this, but it's certainly better for them.
I think Crouton installs 64-bit Linux.
A bit off topic but the presentation of the data appears to be using a frontend to PowerBI I haven't seen before. Looks like Microsoft wants the reach of the tool to extend beyond corporate intranets.
As a spiritual successor to Opera its a lot better when it comes to useful features.
I didn't realize AMD had ARM CPUs.

I was trying to hint that AMD might make some weird hybrid x86/ ARM beast that could have the advantages of ARM much of the time, but could run x86 native. I'm not sure that's even possible.

AMD might do well in a post x86 world. It's just a broader playing field.
I happen to be an identical twin, with a sibling born a few minutes after myself. While we are quite similar through facial features and such, we have quite different personalities, skills, even things like allergies and sexualities which one would expect to be more biological in origin. We’ve been involved in a few studies regarding these differences but the results are yet to be published as the sample is populated. If you are a twin, I’d encourage you to get involved in research like that if you have the time.
That was the strangest aspect of Wednesday to me. They knew there was going to be a huge rally that day. Surely that alone would warrant beefed up security. And the idea that it was just because "they're white people" doesn't add up - even if that were their logic, it was a pro-Trump rally, wouldn't they expect counter-protesters? Weren't there weeks of Proud Boy/Antifa scuffles and violence directly preceding this? The same FBI who caught the Whitmer plotters didn't sniff out any of the multiple reports of premeditation regarding the capitol?

Is it incompetence?
Right. So nobody in the US drive European cars like BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari etc.? Really? And nobody in the US use mobile phones with European ARM chips in them? Really?

How do you reconcile that Google News still caries New Republic and The New American and lots of other Conservative publications. They don’t seem anti-conservative, just anti-extremist.
These are both examples of how OE would _not_ help you.

With google street view you're barely even in range long enough to pick up a couple packets, if the person was even using their computer while the car drove by; this is not what OE is designed to protect against. If the car sat outside their house, they'd still get owned, and OE would still not be useful.

Sitting on a cafe's wireless is literally the de-facto example of how to actively sniff or inject traffic on an unsuspecting victim. The only more bluntly useless case for OE is a state-sponsored mitm using coercion-induced signed certificates.

And you can't get rid of CAs.
In which case it's not unlimited, in which case they're lying.

The first person who gets kicked off for this should file a false advertising suit. The marketing doesn't get to give you something which the ToS immediately takes away.

Maybe then these idiots (yes, idiots, because it takes an astounding lack of either morals or intelligence) will learn that lying to your customers is not okay.
No, because Blizzard is now making online-only games which are A) immune (or at least resistant) to piracy, B) are built with an art style that is compatible with low-end PCs, but not so much with the realism which would even remotely trigger an AO rating, as the issues become stronger the closer you get to photo-realism.

One could argue Valve as well, with respect to PC games, but they have their own reasons for being successful, which involves building and supporting a game with multiple releases and constant attention which is atypical of the industry.

Yes, it's possible to make money on PC, in the same way it's possible to make money with an iPhone game or a search portal. That doesn't mean that doing so is even remotely viable for the fast majority of people who would wish to do so.

This most recent case suggests another problem with adding comments to jobs, at least for startups that hadn't launched yet: a few jerks would make a game of trying to out them. Which would mean such startups couldn't be as specific in job posts, lest they give away something that identified them.
I'm a bootstrapper myself and not a techie. After trying to set up a VPS myself, the value of Heroku was a no-brainer. Developer time is expensive, so why have a coder be a sys admin, too? Build on Heroku, and it'll be easy-ish to migrate if you need to.
Yeah, I basically got you with reply to my other comment. Multiple threads FTL.
Funeral wreaths on the side of the road as decoration commemorating nothing reminds me of Ghost Bikes. It's bicycles spray-painted white, chained up close to the scene of fatal bike accidents, with a descriptive placard. It started in NYC and is now worldwide, and passing one always causes me to be doubly cautious, often giving me the chills.

I'm all for stopping Google Spam, and I don't doubt it is happening in this case but I'm not entirely certain that the case in point is Google Spam.

If I am only interested in Star Wars questions a secondary portal is going to be far more interesting to me. I have no problems with the concept.

Yes, the execution itself can be questioned with all of the links but can't blame a guy for trying can you?
From OP Chinese is easy, according to a survey in 2006, 8128 different characters appeared in newspapers (we're talking about traditional characters here), but 80% of the 700 million words which appeared in all medias are combinations of 581 characters, 90% of it use only 934 characters, and if you know 2314 characters, you can already read 99% of the articles. For simplified, surprisingly you need slightly more characters, 591 for 80%, 958 for 90% and 2377 for 99%.

Anyone know where I can get my hands on this list? This would help tremendously while learning chinese.
English is especially problematic in this regard, because modern English is a trainwreck between Anglo-Saxon, a Germanic language, and Norman French, a Romance language.
> How does having everything behind a single port increase flexibility?

It increases reach. Millions of people are behind firewalls that only allow HTTP traffic.
Personally I'm for going all Deep Impact on it. Nuclear bombs on the sea bed being blown to get down to the deeper leaks, and then going for another topkill... Of course, I know nothing about how to fix oil well leaks, underwater nuclear explosions or topkill, so I wouldn't listen to me. Still, I like the image - would a nuclear bomb going off underwater create a tsunami?
Are there separate jobs pages for openings outside of Sydney? Or are all the jobs listed at the link you've posted open in all three locations?
HealthKit seems a bit half-baked. I can see it being really useful in the future once everything is "Healthkit enabled™," and data magically flows in, but it certainly has many bugs.

As an example, for a while I was manually entering my weight every couple days. After two weeks or so of doing this, the data simply vanished without a trace. This happened again after one of the early updates. After that, I simply gave up. Yes, a bug report was sent, but who knows what really happens once it goes through the 'Gates of Radar.'

WRT Android on the iPhone, it's like Linux on a Mac: the hardware is usually higher quality. A 3GS and a Samsung Intercept go for the same price on a 2 year contract, but the Intercept feels like a cheap toy compared to the 3GS.
Mobile phones get lost. Pieces of paper too. Online services die off. And then, you might want to log in from your mates computer. For me, the only usable password generation methods are those that fit in my mind.
"Ever get the feeling there's more to life than sitting around: sitting at work, sitting in the car, sitting in front of the TV? Do you want to get active but haven't time for the gym?"

I can't find the criticisms of Resig's you mention. Can you provide a link?

I did find an encyclopedia's worth of ranting.

Conclusion: don't read Resig's books because two guys who spend a lot of time hating jQuery have criticised the books harshly somewhere on a gigantic website about javascript.

I don't buy that argument. Links please.
I agree with that book, however I see that the underlying dynamic behind it is profit mongering by the for-profit prison and for-profit bail bonding industries, both of which spend huge parts of their profits on political lobbying that increases their profits. Racism and fundamentalist religion notions about punishment are the tools they use to advance their agenda. Just pointing out that we have racist outcomes in the justice system won't change the dynamic of what is going on. Prisons are profit centers. For some.
Simple solution: buy two monitors. Only costs twice as much.
I find it hard to believe that the guys from Arc90 didn't know that it was Readability the second they saw it; maybe it's because I've used Readability for a while, but I just knew the second that I saw that familiar look and feel of the title and text that it was Readability powering it.
Actually, you don't really need to know much to do a decent job investing for retirement.

Invest in a low-cost, index-based stock fund and similarly low-cost, diversified bond fund. Follow one the many simple formulas to decide what percentage should be in bonds vs stocks (usually based on years to retirement.)

What I wrote above will easily beat most of the more complicated plans out there especially after factoring in cost. You can of course get more complicated, but you usually only need to get more complicated if you have an awful lot of extra money which most people don't.
Serious question: how is that different from a Ponzi scheme?

Solar is cheaper because of you suckers that don't have panels. There is a good government subsidy up front which people know about but the real secret is green energy credits. The green energy credits that the power companies are required to buy from home owners are worth at least as much as the electricity. If it wernt for these incentives then more efficient things like solar hot water would win out, but instead I put a PV array on my roof. When I got my panels the anticipated payback period was just 5 years in Massachusetts.
Most people who create something worth $5 billion end up with a lot more than $200M. He earned it.
It's tough to tell. Their LP has a bunch of external dependencies and js scripts to load, but this is on par with most other content-providers.
The whole point of a hot wallet is that it doesn't matter if it disappears. The only point of insuring it is to give a false sense of safety.
Personally I think it's about making it easier for things to be encrypted. For example, when you save a document, perhaps the text editors should just automatically encrypt the file based on a password the user setup when they first installed the program.

Right now things like PGP are difficult for even "experienced" users to setup and maintain, let alone the average joe. Setting up encrypted volumes, or directories, etc... it just goes over most people's heads and/or their willingness/amount of effort, so they just don't do it.

I think switching from "you should consider encrypting things" to an "everything is encrypted by default" society, propelled forwards by software that makes it easy, automatic, and default... that's when we will make progress.
