Both are a problem. There is increasing evidence that eating meat causes many long term problems. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_meat#Health_risks) Additionally, see the news in the US in the past few days that supposedly ~50% of meat being currently sold in the US is contaminated (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/dailydish/2011/04/gross-.htm...). And don't forget that raising animals for meat consumption is just terrible for the environment. I still eat meat, but I'm cutting way back and I feel really bad about it when I still do.

Perhaps you were just not getting enough protein in your vegan attempt? Or eating the right iron rich foods? One of my friends is a vegetarian, but he just eats pizza, pasta, and cheese and looks like a piece of giant dough. He's not doing it right and I wouldn't advocate anyone to follow his example. However, now is the best time to become a vegetarian or vegan. There are so many more non-animal protein sources available, it's unbelievable. It's not the 1960s anymore where you had to eat soy gruel.
She has 3 sales (dad, uncle, friend) as of this morning! I think the hardest part of self-publishing isn't the technical aspect of putting an ebook together, or even creating the content. I think the hardest part is marketing.
It's not the agreed format that I have an issue with (that's actually the only thing of value). It's the effort required to create the media type. In my web services I can just return a c# POCO, e.g. new Customer{Name=,Age=,etc} - this POCO gets automatically converted into the dataformats requested and therefore takes no effort on the server to implement. On the client (say in ajax) you can simply get the json object with var contact=JSON.parse(contactDto); (i.e. for free).

This is the effort to implement just the serialization of the VCard media type on the server: http://www.servicestack.net/ServiceStack.Northwind/vcard-for... which doesn't include the deserialization routine which because it is custom (i.e. not a data format) takes a lot more effort. So unless the client has auto support for the VCard format why would you opt-in the extra effort to do this?
I don't want to "guess" that. I'd like it really spelled out. I tried "login" and got a 500 from a debian server. I wouldn't send my credentials through some random server just because it was on HN.

--edit: I was wrong, it wasn't a 500 error, it was a 404. I don't want to cast too much suspicion here, just making a point about being appropriately paranoid about giving out my creds. This site could be totally cool, I want it transparent to me before I login.

What if you really want some candy? I think that's what the theory misses. You can only hold out for so long with certain things. If you are hungry, eventually you'll have to buy something to eat.

An extreme example: I have bought a lot of computers in my life, even though I knew their value would be close to zero within two years.

And maybe there are also benefits if people only buy the stuff they actually need.

This is so true.

The problem I have though is that looking around for jobs recently, people want "experience in MongoDB", rather than "ability to recognize when MongoDB is clearly not the best tool for the job".
My only issue is that if I have a desktop why do I care about mobile-first? or even cloud-first for that matter. That was a big problem with windows 8 is that it was mobile-first and desktop-last.
This can be true, but with discipline you can use superior technologies that may not quite be as popular as Java/C/Javascript/PHP but have all the libs needed for your use case.
I think the Swiss Bank intervention is the classic black swan story. The model really only works until somebody puts their foot in it.

Risk management looks at the usual processes via stochastic modelling, but you need to also make scenario analysis, where you just make a deterministic event happen and then measure the effect on the value of your portfolio.
I tried atleast 10 times via Gun.io but was unable to find any work through it. I might not be a suitable for the job but I never received any update on my submission. I also tried sending emails to Gun.io team but got no response from them
If you have a select box of US states and you ship internationally, clearly no one put any thought into the form.

You have a choice to not use Zoom.
Original idea: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/22/opinion/health/ventilator...

During a crisis like this, the idea is to pool resources and create a nimble distribution network. Hospitals that don’t need their ventilators can share them, and if they need them they’ll know where to request them.
Yes if you use the app you need to enter some information for example, profile, login to an account, etc

That being said, I don't see anything surprising on the list.

> such as your name, user name, physical address, email address, phone numbers, and other similar identifiers

That sounds like billing information
I saw a tray icon after I closed it out when I ran it this morning, on Xubuntu with the Cinnamon desktop. I right-clicked it and selected Exit, and it did indeed exit.

ETA: Checking the dpkg file listing shows that everything goes into /opt/zoom except a /usr/bin/zoom symlink to /opt/zoom/ZoomLauncher.
Google Duo?

https://duo.google.com/about/
The GDPR’s specific, granular and informed clauses for opt-in couldn’t have been more timely. I wonder how long it is before Zoom have to stop providing services to the EU?
All points are so vague that this behaviour might be in either:

- General information about your product and service preferences

- Information about your device, network, and internet connection ...

- Information about your usage of or other interaction with our Products

- Other information you upload, provide, or create while using the service
you should try stocking potted garden veggies perhaps even growing them on in the produce section if they stay on shelf that long.
perfect summary.
The co-founder already had a girlfriend, so I think it was only his fault.
Netbook. The best ones (like the Asus eee series) have huge battery life, and bags more flexibility than the iPad.
The "challenging" is called advanced learning.
I'm not sure I can give out exact numbers, but it's far in excess of what any single machine can push out, either practically or technically. Advertising it would be just as misleading as any other specific number. :)
AFAIK server-side JVM solutions are ok, but if you have dreams of shipping an appliance like solution to customers you may well have problems with Oracle.

Although, steering clear of Oracle-anything is a top priority of mine as well.
I grew up in a small town in the Connecticut countryside. I now life in the SFBA. Why? Because there are no software companies in my hometown. None. Zero. Zip. Nada.

I briefly had a computer-related summer job in my hometown, changing backup tapes and inventorying hardware for a local racing school. They were in the process of trying (and failing) to replace an antiquated event booking system with something new. I might have managed to finagle an actual programming job there, doing the job that their existing contractor was failing to do.

Of course, I'd have been working alone. Instead, I moved to California. In the years since then, I've worked with and learned from many amazing people. I'm ten times the programmer I would have been if I'd stayed at home.

Are there software jobs outside the SFBA, Austin, Seattle, Boston, and the other big hub cities? Of course, and if you find one, good for you. But if you're sitting in a dead-end job in a city with no better prospects, your only choices are to stagnate or to move. And if you're going to move, there's much to be said for going where the jobs are.
Thanks for the response. By "auction theory," I wasn't exactly referring to messing around on eBay; we're looking to build a proprietary auction system for a specific kind of government asset that will be sold to the public, and we have the assets to ensure that we can protect that system by filing for patents wherever possible.

So that's the idea: we need folks who dig game theory, who think auctions are exciting, and who want to build something entirely new. The fact that it will be a "patented process" should be exciting to the candidate, since many companies don't have the financial backing to patent their processes and/or choose not to as a matter of resource allocation, meaning their engineers don't get the pride of having invented a patented process. Ours will.
Assuming best public cryptanalysis of each?
Has anyone come across a canvas library similar to raphael.js or protoviz? (both svg)
I don't understand how politicians are allowed to campaign with corporate money.
I'm from Australia (where we have what you describe in the UK) and was shocked when I came to the US and Canada that they don't have such a thing. It's like going backwards in time 10 years.

Here in Canada the way to do it is an "email money transfer" where you put in someone's email address, and they get an email with a link they have to click then put in their online banking username/password in the page it takes them to. It's nasty, though it does work.
my point is that contactless and chip-cards have been around for so long outside the US that magnetic stripes are the oddity. Even the smallest of places with electronic payments will support either chip cards or contactless tap or often both. Near the US border in Canada, many shops have machines that read magnetic stripes. These machines cater almost exclusively to American travellers.
It's hard to know whether my experience or Tao's is more representative. There's selection bias going on with regards to people's conception of a typical child prodigy since people are going to be more aware of successful/properly educated prodigies than the others.
I think a lot of vendors carry generic Desoxyn at very affordable prices.
That makes sense. I think part of the problem is I'm trying to play both sides and mostly use a card for normal purchases, and mostly use cash for smaller purchases/tips. So you're right, I'm almost never using cash in situations that net me more small bills than I started with.

If I was a bit more consistent about occasionally just paying for something normal with cash it would possibly be more sustainable, right now I usually try to break apart small bills specifically when I'm completely out of them or when I know I'm going to need to tip someone in like an hour.

Also yeah, having a stockpile would probably be a good idea, since right now I typically only keep enough small bills to get me though my immediate tipping needs and no further, so any surprise situations mean I'm immediately out of small bills and can only pay for things by card.

Regardless, definitely more management than I would like to do, so I get why people might want a system that doesn't force them to think about that stuff at all. It's just that the alternative digital systems come with other downsides.

A little off topic, but does anyone know the best way to run software on an unused Android phone? For some reason this seems harder than it used to be. My goal is to run Home assistant on it, and I am struggling with issues on Termux right now. There must be a better way.

The Bonus Army was a group of 43,000 demonstrators – made up of 17,000 veterans of the United States in World War I, together with their families and affiliated groups – who gathered in Washington, D.C. in mid-1932 to demand early cash redemption of their service bonus certificates...

Many of the war veterans had been out of work since the beginning of the Great Depression. The World War Adjusted Compensation Act of 1924 had awarded them bonuses in the form of certificates they could not redeem until 1945. Each certificate, issued to a qualified veteran soldier, bore a face value equal to the soldier's promised payment with compound interest. The principal demand of the Bonus Army was the immediate cash payment of their certificates.

On July 28, 1932, U.S. Attorney General William D. Mitchell ordered the veterans removed from all government property. Washington police met with resistance, shot at the protestors, and two veterans were wounded and later died. President Herbert Hoover then ordered the U.S. Army to clear the marchers' campsite. Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur commanded a contingent of infantry and cavalry, supported by six tanks. The Bonus Army marchers with their wives and children were driven out, and their shelters and belongings burned.

...

Though the Bonus Army incident did not derail the careers of the military officers involved, it proved politically disastrous for Hoover, and it is considered a contributing factor to his losing the 1932 election in a landslide to Franklin D. Roosevelt.

I Saw this too for one of my site running on WordPress. It's reported only in my Google Analytics account and not in my Jetpack stats. This happened only on 25th March. Are you guys running WordPress too?
I use tail -f mainly for tracking something end-to-end through multiple log files because it's pipeable to grep or awk, where less is not. less +F is cool too, but tail -f is more useful when doing complex log analysis on the fly because it follows standard UNIX I/O behavior.
Such a RESTful API will be much more difficult to develop than an RPC API + up-to-date documentation.
Holy crap, that's 1000x better.
Well, I took a high school civics class too, but I don't see these guys as having been central to the case against Ulbricht at all.
I'm guessing this will be the Home Battery that was hinted at earlier this year. I'm curious to see what kind of wear and tear a battery powering an entire home can take and how long it's lifespan is versus it's initial cost.
Yes, you are actually correct. Lots of people would argue that publicly traded american companies are 100% immoral. Their overall duty is to their shareholders and not the american public.

It would not be civil disobedience. There's no law requiring you to turn over cleartext if you don't have it, and Skype used to be structured such that, not only was cleartext not recoverable, there was no practical way to find the Skype packets.

... That experience taught me a lot about what really matters in programming. It is not about solving puzzles and being the brightest kid in the class. It is about realizing that the complexity of software dwarfs even the most brilliant human; that cleverness cannot win.
Ah, I didn't see it's a wrapper. In that case, what's the point of using it at all? If it doesn't help to optimize the memory allocation, it seems more like a macro and less like a library.
FWIW, with C++, the advantages of linking to tcmalloc make it the default for any code that I write that isn't intended to run as a daemon -- and even there, unless I hit tcmalloc's limit of not releasing memory back, it's still a viable choice.
One of my friend came up with this solution:

m is missing,d is duplicate. I is 1..N, A is input.

Step 1: Compute m XOR d by XOR all values of A and I together.
let say x = m XOR d. Then x must has at least one 1 bit (or else m == d). Call the bit p. So now we can separate A into two list A0 are those with bit p == 0 and A1 are those with bit p == 1. So we have separated m and d into two different list.

Step 2: Iterate through I, maintain two number x0 and x1 as the results of XOR operations of those elements with p bit == 0 and == 1 respectively. Do the same for A to get a0 and a1. Then we know that m is either a0 XOR x0 or a1 XOR x1. One more linear test in A to confirm the missing element m.

In the end, the running time can be squeezed into 2 N.
space = O(1).
Two ways the changes have impacted my browsing:

1) Removing "by" at the start of each comment stops me from trivially finding every other comment by the same poster in a given thread. Searching for just the name adds noise to the results. Usually not a lot, but I find it annoying.

2) Removing comment scores from our thread feeds makes it much more difficult to skim through all the things a given user has said recently looking for gems. Instead of a nice pre-filter (skim for posts exceeding some minimum score) you have to read every comment, no matter how inane.
I wouldn't say that the linkbait title is completely wrong, but the author is misguided about the severity and scope of the Amazon downtime.

If you read Quora's account [1], it's clear that this was regionwide, not just limited to a single availability zone. This debunks the misguided understanding that simply having slave instances in different availability zones will be enough for ensuring availability.

While that's what you would have expected from Amazon (and the name "Availability Zones"), that's not what happened.

The issue wasn't necessarily that Amazon had downtimes--you'd be hard-pressed to find a provider that has never been down. The issue was the scope and duration of the downtime that demonstrated that availability zones mean little in terms of service redundancy.

I suspect the king of Thailand actually provides stability rather than instability--imagine how bad the coups and so forth would be if there wasn't someone who could effectively back one faction over another in these disputes.
A devout pro-life person could use this exact justification to claim pro-choice people are promoting baby killing.
What defines social media company? You're using social media right now. I'm sure you would expect basic protections.
What's the line between a protest and terrorism?

As far as I can tell based on the 24 hour news cycle it's whether you personally agree with the protestors/terrorists.
Who decides what is a lie and what is the truth? Does the intention to lie matter or is an accidental lie (e.g. a quoting mistake) an offence as well? Is telling incomplete truths or ignoring important or relevant facts lying? Is representing information in a factually correct but misleading or easy to misinterpret way lying?
Aside from network effects, UI/UX is really king when it comes to getting people to switch messengers. It's why Telegram has managed to stake as large of a following as it has, despite its glaring flaws when compared to Signal, Matrix, etc.

I understand wanting to focus on security and privacy at the cost of all else, but if the goal is to get as many people on a reasonably safe messenger app as possible, UI/UX is unavoidably going to be a focal point — it can't just be made an afterthought, or as is the case with many FOSS projects disregarded almost entirely.
I like this. Nice and flexible. Reminds me of the project I did last year during the NYC Big Apps competition - http://elev.at
You act like TSA agents came up with the idea to grope and body scan everyone in the airport. This is a huge pain the in ass for them, and they know that it poses a health risk for themselves. However, this is their job, and they are carrying out orders from their superiors. So there's no reason to make snide remarks to the agents.
How easy is it to get an O-1 visa? I always just assumed it was out of my range, but if it's just "speak at a few conferences", I could probably swing that. Anyone have experience with this?

The naive view of a libertarian dreamer.
Text editors appear to be approaching a design ideal. At least, for the ways we currently use them.
A couple of people are here mentioning bugs they've encountered, etc. So I'm responding with them in mind (not necessarily arguing with or against them).

I had grown increasingly pessimistic with my personal computing choices. I'm into the philosophy of truly owning and controlling my stuff, so I run free operating systems exclusively on my personal machines, including my phone (to the extent that it's possible with the firmware blobs, etc).

But all Linux desktops are pretty rough around the edges. It really disappointed me that I've never had a Linux machine that just worked perfectly. It was always something- xmodmap would just stop working in Plasma, settings wouldn't stick in Xfce, GNOME's sloppy focus doesn't work consistently, etc.

I started to get bummed out until I've been working on this Macbook Pro for work. The stupid thing can't even keep the background images correct. First of all, you can't just say "Please use this same image/color for all desktop background on all screens." So you set every background to the same thing manually, like some kind of animal. Then you plug your laptop into your two monitors at home and one of them has the default wallpaper! Okay, so you set that one to the image you want. Great. Then you go back to the office and plug into those monitors again and one of THOSE is somehow back to the default wallpaper! It happens every time I plug back into a different set of monitors!

Now I'm not pessimistic anymore! Nothing works. It's great. We're all equal. A trillion dollar company can't even make an OS that sets the wallpaper correctly (or prevent bugs where anyone can login as root, or write a calculator app that works correctly).

So yeah, go give Budgie a try. It probably sucks. But you might find that it sucks in ways that are tolerable!
Dyson, like Apple, doesn’t make products for nerds like us who are willing to go through that level of effort. Their prices are high because their products are simple and “just work” without much fiddling.
Chilled water systems start to be common at around the ten acre mark. One acre is only 43,000 sf, package units would be ordinary due to their low intital cost.

Cheap land often lacks services like electrical power and infrastructure like roads and sewage. Construction is expensive. There are teams of smart people backed by very deep pockets who spend all day over entire careers thinking about ways to make money in real-estate.

Good luck.
