For this purpose, I've explored a variety of what I'd call "human algorithms" to explore the emotional response to situations in life. I would describe these as structured forms of self-questioning that a person can perform on himself.

Generally, these have rather "New Age" titles: some popular ones include Core Transformation, The Work, the Sedona Method, the Wholeness Process. Tech and computer people are often rather skeptical of such things, but I would recommend giving one or more of them a try. If you don't like mystical or spiritual explanations, it's often easier for sci-math inclined minds to think of these as algorithms that you run on your own neural hardware, for the purpose of improving your subjective experience of well-being in life.
The United States is still limited to only four competing firms when it comes to mobile networking, thanks to the limited amount of available wireless spectrum and high costs for the access to that spectrum.
Because they cherry pick densely populated areas. They're not providing a universal service.
"It's the amount of energy needed to heat one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit"

Now, presume there is no gauge at hand to measure a pound less a thermometer to measure fahrenheits. Often outside of commonwealth territories and US we use SI :)
So?

Currently helium is being sold off at a below-market price. When the reserve gets low, people will look at it and go "huh. We could make some money off of helium when the reserve runs out", and look for other sources.

We already did the same sort of thing for oil. We didn't panic when the initial wells and types of wells started to go dry - we found other sources.
I did several things, I think. And it does fluctuate.

- College in an extremely social club environment (marching band)
- Moved across the country to a new place, forced me to meet new people, change social skill set
- Moved from small companies to fast growing larger company, with mostly introverted people around me, I tended to fill out the gaps
- Role more focused on personal interactions
- New romantic relationship that allows for individualism, fulfillment, so I seek social interaction outside it (previous relationships were less balanced)
- Exercise, diet make me feel more positive and social in general

In short, my life has significantly changed since I considered myself an introvert. Most of it I attribute to just growing up and developing as a person. I could also see myself shifting back, depending on my situation. No biggie, both are good, and certainly I still have many introverted qualities.
Have you tried Nominatim? I've found it to work for most of the above. I'm only disappointed it doesn't work well for developing countries, particularly a lot of Asia.
Interesting! Still, I believe this doesn't prevent malfunction resulting from a compromised silicon...Like a sequence of instruction executions or memory accesses resulting to sending over a packet via the network.

I wonder how can one prevent that? Even an open-source ISA could not be fully trusted since one can't know what is implemented on the actual die on hand.
Agreed. Try to make an argument up here that our tax burden is debilitating, and all you get in return is «our taxes are the same as every other country, 30% on average».

Can be refuted in a debate, but of course the dishonest rhetoric reflects what people actually believe and vote.
For me as a developer, OWASP guidance format is much faster to digest and get some idea about what should I avoid or do then set of hacking exercises. Hacking exercises are fundamentally different thing. Securing your application and being pentester are also two very different things.

Not that OWASP is super great or something. But I have looked multiple times and there is very little that was written about security specifically for application developers.
When it first came out, Delphi was streets ahead of the main Microsoft options available at the time, namely VB and Visual C++. I remember it with great affection.
Would love to discuss in detail and see if I can help. At my last employer I wrote low level solutions for K8s related to security and at the moment I'm working on a stealth mode startup for K8s troubleshooting. Feel free to shoot me an email at aantny at gmail.
Code is designed to solve problems. If someone can't read your code, they are going to have a hard time using it to solve their problems. If you don't document edge cases, modes of failure, intent and methodology... then it is worse code than it could be. Somebody won't be able to use it because they won't be able to tell if it solves their problem.

A few weeks ago I read a quote about someone saying that good code should be 'self-documenting' and that it should be obvious what it does. This is a red herring -- it assumes you wrote code that works perfectly. If there is a bug in your 'self-documenting' code, then how is someone supposed to know if it is wrong or not?
Comparing population densities does not seem to be very straightforward, since I'm finding contradictory information to your own. Your statcan link gives Toronto 945.4/km^2, but Wikipedia says 4334.4/km^2[0]. I'm more inclined to believe Wikipedia, since Toronto is supposed to be the 4th most populous city in North America. Wikipedia itself cites a different statcan link[1].

This would leave Toronto at #4 in your Wikipedia list if we only count the bold cities (non-bold cities are those that are part of the metropolitan area of another city). If we count by Metropolitan Area, it would be around #11 by my quick count. Otherwise it would be #74, but for comparison Boston is #51 and Chicago is #75, so I'd say it definitely registers.

KeePass. Using KeePass 1 format means I can run my password crypt on Windows, OS X, and Linux. I just keep the database file on Dropbox.
Thank you for your answer, I understand now.
Well, in fact you could serialize/unserialize the objects and store them somewhere, making use of the "magic" functions __sleep() and __wakeup(), if I recall correctly. But yes, as soon as the web server ends the response or the script gets to the end, it's finished
If you want to crack passwords ultrafast, you make a look-up table of the hashes of all probable passwords. Without a salt, this is rather a smaller table. A 7-bit salt makes the table larger, but not hugely larger, and not troublesomely larger.

The 128-bit salt used by bcrypt makes the table intractably hugely large. You cannot precompute it.

Of course, you know the salt (because it's stored right there in /etc/shadow), so you can still run through dictionary words and try them all. But bcrypt is designed to take arbitrarily long amounts of real time to do this.

So in the case of bcrypt, it's not really an issue that the salt is stored right there alongside the hashes password.
Who's we? I doubt many hackers will be starting new projects in Java in 20 years. Sure, there will be plenty of legacy code around, just as there's plenty of COBOL around now.

I think Java's influence on Clojure is fairly small, and mostly visible around the places where the Clojure has to interoperate with Java libraries. I'm not sure what to call this - incidental influence, maybe?
I believe that there is a universal law of compensation. You get what you give. You help somebody - then some time in the future somebody will help you. This "universal law" is what makes open source work.
The people who donate to the Red Cross are very unlikely to receive back in any tangible form. The average American church is more like a club which collects money from it's members to maintain the clubhouse and provide weekly entertainment.

The more hip, "relevant" churches require even more money because they have more contemporary furnishings and design, agency-style marketing campaigns, sophisticated audio/video equipment, larger spaces for ancillary services such as child care and small group meetings, bring in out-of-town acts, and keep a large staff to support these operations. This is especially effective because it positions the church as more of a brand and lifestyle provider rather than just a "thing that we do on Sundays." People who spend 5-10 hours a week involved in church activities become psychologically dependent and are going to be astronomically more likely to donate, and donate in larger amounts.

This is clearly in the best interest of the church as it increases donations, and I have no problem with them undertaking these activities, but I think they operate far outside of the original spirit of what tax-exempt status was purposed for.

As a side note, and a little anecdote, my girlfriend works at a liquor store and has several regular customers that use their tax-exempt status as church staff to purchase wine and liquor that is clearly for themselves. Of course, there's almost no way to create an efficient audit trail for this type of stuff, so they get away with it.

Maybe they’ll do payments at some point
There are a number of problems with this argument. (1) Great programmers are not evenly distributed around the world because most places lack good educational systems. It makes sense that most are in 1st world countries. (2) Big companies have offices in India, China and elsewhere. Immigration policy does not prevent Google from hiring every great programmer on the planet. What's their complaint? (3) Do many companies need great programmers? Sorry, but your web/mobile app isn't rocket surgery. (4) For every single product on the planet the market finds a price to match supply & demand. Why are tech jobs different? $200k in SF is worse than $100K in Dallas. Increase salaries; problem solved. (5) PG says startups are DESPERATE! Yet they won't consider remote employees, so I guess they aren't that desperate. (6) No one can spot a "great" programmer in a pile of resumes. Maybe your interviews and hiring committees suck?

The least controversial policy is 1st world countries give their foreign STEM grads Green Cards (or equivalent). The 2nd easy solution is to pay top programmers lots more money. If they are indeed worth "100X or even 1000X" more than the average, it makes economic sense to pay at least 5X more. Only hedge funds seem to understand this. Finally, any company with 200+ employees can put an office in India/China and hire everyone they want. You can either wait for politicians to change immigration laws, or make remote offices work. Which is more likely?
With WAL mode data is always written twice for sure, unless same pages are updated several times inside the active part of WAL journal. Without WAL mode data isn't getting written twice unless you're updating it. These are annoyingly complex issues, and I'm not even 100% sure if I got it right, I'm just using common logic, I haven't checked source.

Jira just isn't very good software. Even if it were lightning fast, the UI is still not designed for project management - its a bug tracker. It reminds me of the joke about c++ being an octopus made by stapling extra legs onto a dog.
I can't find it, could you please provide a link?
What is that? The landing page shows videos but I'm not seeing youtube branding anywhere; is that a separate site? Could you elaborate?

I regularly see names I remember on HN: tptacek, pron, dragonwriter, lmm, coldtea, etc.

It's not exactly the same as contacts on Facebook, though it's closer to Reddit. Definitely social media.
This content is very low quality. What that does even mean
"Ruby on Rails development updates is slower." ?
> This approach ends up with multiple, potentially-incompatible versions of the same package in a project.

If data generated by one version of a library is being consumed by another version, that's a bug in the code that moves data between them.
Conversion functions - MultiByteToWideChar & co. - were in since Windows 2000 and the UTF8 codepage was supported as early as XP if not in W2K as well.
EU will not notify them, since EU doesn't have technical tools and legal framework to do it.

If DPA finds Facebook in breach of GDPR they will be ordered to do it with additional fines for non complying.

Art. 58 GDPR Powers point 2:

> Each supervisory authority shall have all of the following corrective powers:

> (e) to order the controller to communicate a personal data breach to the data subject;

> (f) to impose a temporary or definitive limitation including a ban on processing;

> (i) to impose an administrative fine pursuant to Article 83, in addition to, or instead of measures referred to in this paragraph, depending on the circumstances of each individual case;

If FB still refuse, it will end up in the court.

If the courts agree with DPA, then FB will be ordered by the courts as well.

Courts can choose their way to force companies to comply with their orders.
Super cool. I'm a huge fan of very simple interfaces like that.
One thing I like about them - no ATM fee worldwide and they would refund any ATM fee charged by the local bank.
As OniBait says, I think (I've given up trying to figure out the details of what they're doing) they are using the threat of removing 230 as a stick to stop social media companies from any moderation at all. Withou 230, the user-generated-content business model is untenable.
All of those "lookup X person" sites do the same thing. You may assume that you've sunk so much time waiting for them to scan all their data, surely it's worth a few dollars to see the results.
It might be impossible to make a 100 year computer that's practical.

If we look at other "tech" built to last, I think sewing machines. Stand mixers. Cast iron pans. And I'm sure lots of industrial equipment I don't know about.

None of these really changed much in the past 50 years that made it useless, and I can see these being useful for the next 50 years pretty easily.

The only thing I can think of is a base computer with some interface to a breakout box that can be upgraded based on how computers work.

This definitely cheats the idea of a 100 year computer, but you could have a wifi breakout board. Maybe a reader for the next storage format that's popular. Neural whatsit chip that may revolutionize computing. But, again, that's cheating. And at that point just buying modern hardware makes so much more sense.
Ditto. I looked and found this short 2017 story by the AP about laborers hidden on property “since mid-2015”, but it doesn’t mention their age. https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-forced-labor-20... (disable JavaScript to disable paywall)
Access to the Capitol isn't very restricted. People who are handling top secret information know that very well; that said, plenty of personally compromising information can usually be found on any given personal computer.
I can concur with that. gettext works incredibly well. There are great examples in Wordpress development on how it's used.
The github CSS is compressed. It's fine to test worse-case scenario, but doesn't mean much.
I was assuming compiling to JSON wasn't an option since the point of the post was the usefulness of avoiding a manual compilation step. With such a step, yes, you could avoid all the parsing headaches. I'm not sure how useful it would be to manipulate the JSON client-side, but there are probably a few clever things one could come up with.

I'm certainly not afraid of compilers. I write Sass, so I'm pretty intimately familiar with what's going on. My point was not that compilers are inherently scary and/or slow (although I stand by my original point that if it's compiling to CSS it will always be at least somewhat slower). I was just making the claim that the current speed of less.js is too slow for practical production use.

Really passionate.
You don't need to be rich to pay someone to do most of that stuff. You probably already pay someone to do your taxes. House cleaning/laundry isn't that expensive. I would hesitate to call someone who can't afford these things middle class.
“VERY IMPORTANT: To separate you from the spammers, please write I AM REAL as the first line of your bid. We will delete all bids that do not start with this phrase, since most bidders never read the requirements.

Van Halen:

Just as a little test, in the technical aspect of the rider, it would say "Article 148: There will be fifteen amperage voltage sockets at twenty-foot spaces, evenly, providing nineteen amperes..." This kind of thing. And article number 126, in the middle of nowhere, was: "There will be no brown M&M's in the backstage area, upon pain of forfeiture of the show, with full compensation."

So, when I would walk backstage, if I saw a brown M&M in that bowl ... well, line-check the entire production. Guaranteed you're going to arrive at a technical error. They didn't read the contract. Guaranteed you'd run into a problem. Sometimes it would threaten to just destroy the whole show. Something like, literally, life-threatening.

The folks in Pueblo, Colorado, at the university, took the contract rather kinda casual. I came backstage. I found some brown M&M's, I went into full Shakespearean "WHAT is this before me?" ... you know, with the skull in one hand ... and promptly trashed the dressing room. Dumped the buffet, kicked a hole in the door, twelve thousand dollars' worth of fun.

The staging sank through their floor. They didn't bother to look at the weight requirements or anything, and this sank through their new flooring and did eighty thousand dollars' worth of damage to the arena floor. The whole thing had to be replaced. It came out in the press that I discovered brown M&M's and did eighty-five thousand dollars' worth of damage to the backstage area.

Well, who am I to get in the way of a good rumor?

Yep, you can't red line a engine forever. Sooner or later something gives, and likely it will be at the worst possible moment. Demanding constant sacrifice seems like a recipe for a revolt amongst the gladiators...
That's a cogent point, but those are all symptoms of the same problem, which I'm guessing from your last sentence, you are already aware of. The OP is merely using them as examples (again, demonstrable symptoms) of the illness that is "intellectual property", so that when people say "so what?" to the likes of EFF, you can show them articles like this.

As another example, on the same front page of HN that this article is on, is another entitled "When is it Stealing?", whereby the author begs the question by just blithely assuming that bits can be owned like physical property.

Don't get me wrong, I think attribution is a very important part of sharing information, but at the same time, too many people get caught up in believing they are special, when history has shown time and again that most "new" ideas were built upon the bedrock that is the thousands of years of our civilization, and usually multiple people get the same idea around the same time.
How many more backdoors will be discovered?
Please release the code. I’d been looking for something like this. I’m starting to trust HN and Reddit results a lot more than google results.
You persist in attacking a straw man in direct reply to a post that explicitly disclaims it. Quit pattern matching on "non-doctor comments on medical issue" and look at what she's actually saying.
I really wish Amazon would do something with GoodReads instead of just parking it and running it with a skeleton crew. As a platform, it has so much potential, but for some reason Amazon doesn't see it or can't do anything about it.
Med student here - so I know some of the theory only. The most relevant "law" is Fick's Law of Diffusion (https://d2jmvrsizmvf4x.cloudfront.net/CTU792sKR2evT2ezizQp_f...). Doctors can increase diffusion by increasing the partial pressure of oxygen.

In a diffuse infection a patient begins to lose both lung area (due to shunting) and the thickness of the diffusion barrier increases (due to inflammation). To help overcome this you want to increase pressure and oxygen concentration.

An iron lung helps ease the work of breathing by reducing thoracic pressure and thus creates a larger pressure gradient for inspiration. However, it does not cause an absolute partial pressure of oxygen change compared to the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, to bind haemoglobin in physiological lung conditions we need partial pressure of oxygen around 100mmHg. My guess is that an iron lung does not help increase the partial pressure of oxygen so it will do little but ease the work of breathing (which is better than nothing!).
This is why that someone also needs to wear a mask.

Don't worry, people aren't morons and have been using masks in Japan and other countries for decades just fine.

Yes, masks can hold contaminated droplets --that's their purpose. When people don't use masks on the other hand, those droplets that would have remained on the mask now end up everywhere else, and now you have a far more spread vectors with basically everything being potentially contaminated.

Using a mask ensures that a lesser percentage of your contaminated droplets end up in other places.
Just a little project to let me talk to my lights and a few gadgets around the place.
The mass isolation approach fails for me on multiple levels. First, why would you change the way 100% of the things work when all you have to do is change the way 5% to 10% of the things work? Why not employ levels of isolation that are proportionally aggressive to vulnerability to serious symptoms or death? Second, I thought we decided that trying to manhandle nature because we think we know better doesn't work? Wouldn't we be better off if we let nature take it's course so that 90% of the population suffers mild flu systems, but gains some level of enhanced immunity to further protect the vulnerable groups going forward while at the same time not collapsing the economy?
new data on this partnership from arrington's notes from the conference call:

"Zucker is now on. Talking about importance of “significant IP protection” as a primary goal."

Doomed.
That's a variant of "there's no such thing as bad exposure".

When the person with the fubared project gets his daily beating from the big shots, eventually he'll figure out how to look like a hero while blaming everyone else.
You need to talk to someone who will consult with you professionally to get good answers to this question, sorry.
Wouldn't be particularly surprising if the ball PSI gradually decreased over time. Brady likes ball as low PSI as is allowed within the rules, and they probably became more and more comfortable with pushing the boundaries over time.
