No, the error there is Gruber's.

"Americans rarely get any exercise."

"French people rarely bathe."

If Gruber doesn't want it to be taken as "all iPhone critics," he should specify.
Looks like it's essentially the same type of programming model, although I have a feeling WaitHandle.WaitAll() just blocks the current thread. In the ideal case, it would internally call the event loop coroutine and process other events instead without sending the thread to sleep. Thread scheduling involves system (kernel) calls, coroutines are purely userspace, just like node.js's async callback mechanism.
It wasn't intended for that purpose, but stand by ...

EDIT: OK, I've uploaded a larger version where the labels are readable, but I've had to change the layout so the nodes don't overlap. The lengths of the edges are now not always realted to the distance, although it's approximate.

No it doesn't. The exponential distribution p.d.f. is decreasing.

Yeah everybody is approaching the solution from their angle, I just wondered if there was a center.
> but these countries are a far cry from a place like China, where people actually are arrested for violating strict censorship laws.

The argument is that we're headed in that direction, so let's turn the ship around before we get there.

> The NSA's mass surveillance has been brought to light by a former contractor; the secret is blown, the cat's out of the bag, and Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall already.

Yet, more people bitched and whined about whether it was legal to blow the whistle rather than the message itself.

Snowden pointed, and everyone looked at his finger.

> I suspect that in the near future, the major email providers will offer end-to-end encryption for all their users with no possibility of back doors

Impossible. Email providers cannot ensure this level of safety, only end-users themselves using tools like PGP, which is unfortunately still a mystery to many people. The sad truth is that end-to-end encryption requires know-how and a bit of effort (even if just a little). Most people don't care enough, or are just confused by it. Hell, I'm an experienced programmer and still have to look up "best practices" guides from time to time. Your average Joe Schmoe isn't going to do it, and nobody else can do it for them.

> Unfortunately, it's going to take some time for the import of this situation to sink in to the dim consciousness of the American voter.

Agreed, like I said, most people we're more distracted by the reveal itself than the actual information revealed. I was dumbfounded how easily the citizens of my country were led astray, and even more who swallowed the "terrorism" excuse. Pathetic.

So I guess my point is that this is a bigger deal that you're making it out to be. Yeah, it's worse in China, but we're going to BE China soon if we don't stop multinational corporations from raping us over a barrel and controlling every aspect of our government.

After all, what good is free speech if it stands in the way of progress?
It's the judges fault? Yeah, its pretty hard to 'support the common good' when you have a 'gun' put to your head.
The best way to do that would be to stop engaging in these kind of practices. But they'll probably try what you said first.
To be fair, GitHub has been handling the attack VERY well.
Info in my profile, happy to meet up.
so it really is just handling traffic volume?
> So why not just pay market rate from the beginning rather than investing in training someone?

Limited availability? Need for combining a skill with other skills? There are good reasons.
You can use it for web apps/services (https://mesosphere.com/docs/getting-started/service-discover...). But I'm with you on databases. I guess I just like knowing that those hosts are being managed and cared for (pets vs. cattle).

With that said, I often wonder how many people are using Mesos/Marathon before they have any need for it? Using it on for 4 hosts vs. 40 or 400?
This is awesome. The demo works really well in Chrome, actually almost better than native text editing for me.
"Our internal policy is to screw you if you screw us. It's simple, easy to remember, and 100% applicable in this case. Have a nice day."
A strange eddy in the history of ideas.
Depends on the encryption. WEP is just as bad as public (though it'll keep Joe Somebody out, but that's about it). WPA1 is alright, and WPA2 w/ AES is a whole different ballgame.
How many pre-orders did you guys get? (magnitude is fine, I don't need the actual number).
I'm not saying it isn't true, but the article has problems.

> The bug appeared for the first time in Windows NT 3.5, released 1994, but was not discovered until early 2004. Older versions of Notepad such as those that came with Windows 95, 98, ME, and NT 3.1 do not include Unicode support so the bug does not occur there.

Problem is that Windows 95, 98 and ME post-dated Windows NT 3.5. They are newer, not older. Are they saying that Windows NT 3.5 in 1994 had a newer version of Notepad (with Unicode support) than any until ... when? The next paragraph says,

> The bug exists in all successive versions of Windows until and including Windows XP, but was not present in Windows Vista and afterwards.

What successive versions? It wasn't in Windows 95, 98 and ME. So why does it say, "until and including XP". Wikipedia edit time!
Oxnard? Really? I drove through there in January on holiday in the US and I've never seen a more depressing town in my life.
However, this could gain a lot with a click handler at each page on the sides that made the thing scroll into view again.
This is fudging the question, but after many months of nights-and-weekends toiling, I launched https://www.land-of-nosh.com out of beta testing today and hope to be making $1,000+/month at some point!

My wife has always hated the meal planning/recipe organization and sharing process and available tools (she'd used a few different products). After asking lots of friends for recommendations and hearing enough times, "I use X, but I don't like it, so if you find something better, let me know." it seemed like a promising lead for a side project!

Worst case: I make no money, and my wife finally has the meal planning tool she's always wanted.

There probably exist civil law remedies outside the DMCA's protections as well. Tortious interference, slander of title, something that might stick given the specific circumstances and how good your lawyers are. IANAL.
Latency becomes commodity.
I wonder if they host everything on their own site (Github.com) or their own Github Enterprise site, which is inaccessible from outside network.
Well, they just took down rust's package manager on Github. That's an obviously wrong takedown. If I understand the system correctly, it actually is designed for "shoot first, ask questions later".
Ok... First, if they're using my VPS to get to someone else's... um. Ok. So it really doesn't affect me. Sorry about your neighbor. He should cover his ass better and not keep top fkin secret info on a god damn VPS.

Oh, and even if this were like a possible scenario, why not just open random accounts until they strike gold? Or infiltrate the datacenter with a mind reading quad copter drone and plug a usb drive into your machine? I mean honestly, there's a 1000x easier ways to do this. The NSA isn't after your shit. Get over yourself and quit drinking the koolaid.
The post title is the same as the page title, which is what you're expected to submit.
I'm well aware of that, deflation is a bad thing for a currency; I agree. I just said Bitcoin makes a bad currency, but it's an excellent commodity and service. Gold is a terrible currency as well, that doesn't remove its value.
I would also throw in John Williams as a great popularizer of classical guitar (for example check out his renditions of Satie's gymnopedies and such). That's not to say that he is any better or more important.

It depends on where in the US. In CA or NY? You are underpaid. In the midwest? It's market rate.
Zuck was right. Privacy is dead. There is no such thing anymore. No true democracy without a free vote. In the EU, we have to click 'agree to cookies' on every site whilst every newborn's DNA is stored digitally. They're mocking us. It is irreversible. The genie is out. It's over.
Data collected from devices and it is large, but not big. Around 40-60TB and very repetitive data. Find some open set of data that interests you and just do something to get familiar with the tools.

I think most data sets could be handled via RDBMS and Big Data is just another choice. The more interesting thing to me is what you accomplish and if a new tech can get you there faster or cheaper, etc.
I've read both the submission and the articles that exist inside that Quora link you posted and I am still not convinced. IMO what makes a language better is end products and not features. When Rust becomes stable, its community will produce great software but I don't think all of the rest languages you mentioned have produced (or will do) better software than Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, etcd, btcd, and a ton of other Go software.
We can agree it was a pretty large fuel-air explosion caused by the failure of SCADA software? The rest is just details.
How do I open that m3u8 file?
That could actually be a novel technique against ad blocking. Make the website dysfunctional if the ads can't be displayed.
> the fact that I get so many ads on NYT's site despite being a subscriber is frustrating to say the least

Have you never seen the print edition of the NYT (or any other newspaper)? Since they just use news to fill in the otherwise blank areas between ads the motto really should be all the news that fits, we print.
Set a goal of making a bit of progress every day. Even 10-15 minutes a day adds up over time, and it keeps you in the habit of making ongoing improvements.
I agree with you on the end result, but I remember following the comments and discussion on GitHub when the changes were being made. It sure seemed like a big discussion over not much across several commits, and more thank 50 comments on GitHub alone.
And everything truly reverts to the same as it was before, Vista with IE7 upgraded to IE8? I'm (understandably in my opinion) a bit wary. I need to test websites on a normal installation of IE8. IE often has odd little details that make one machine act different from another once you start changing things.
Why do you only see squares?
It is important to note that the fact "Starvation is also a way to live longer." is probably wrong as some scientist have noticed.

The problem is that animals in laboratories are "coach potatoes". They don't do the exercise they naturally do in their habitat searching for food.

They live overcrowded in small cages and overstressed. Most lab animals are already ill from their artificial habitat, they have diabetes and other disorders.

Strong social animals are isolated so they don't create problems like fighting each other(what are thy going to do if not?).

Imagine you were forced to live in a sofa, or in your bed, all your life, with no sunlight but LED lighting.

Most of those animals are overeating for their activity, so making them starve is better than not doing it. But this tells us nothing about real animals in the real world.

Being a Conservative, albeit a Libertarian, I am all for punishment, provided it fits the crime. I and I am sure many others like me do not believe in exploiting prisoners or such, but I also do not believe in coddling them either.

Right now we have another government regulated and implemented disaster. People bitch and moan over the issues the VA has and that institution is supposed to HELP people, yet they don't want to look at the penal system which is supposed to help society. Both are examples of a government to big to be held responsible. Both are just minor examples of government regulation permitting abuse and neglect.

Yet people want more regulation, more government, and such. Why should government improve when you want them to step in and do everything you don't like being done by others (internet, health, etc) We get what we deserve
In the description the arguments of the function are its dependencies, and factories are called via their make method (which can also have arguments/dependencies).
Interesting stuff, best of luck to you as well.

I imagine this is not in the intentions of your service as it is now, but I'm wondering if you could share some knowledge on the matter given your expertise.

If you had access to a sizeable amount of links that a group of people read what sort of bite-sized knowledge could one extract about the interests/problems/expertise of the said group? Do you believe such results would be meaningful at all?
My first thoughts as well when scanning the homepage.
> I don’t believe in squatters rights and I’m glad my state doesn’t have laws like the West Coast. There was a Reddit post recently where someone didn’t visit their property for 2-3 weeks. Someone moved in, broke everything, and then preemptively called the police to get squatters rights. Now the home owner has to go through a complicated eviction process and have his second home trashed.

There's a lot wrong with your comment:

1. It looks like all states have adverse possession laws [1].

2. 2-3 weeks wouldn't cut it anywhere to claim adverse possession. The shortest time required to be in possession is 5 years [1].

3. Why would you believe any anecdote that you read on Reddit? So many are lies posted to gain sweet e-points that all should be met with heavy skepticism.

I guess it's your right to not "believe in" squatters rights, but abandoned and underutilized property does society no good, and squatter's rights are a reasonable solution to that problem.

As someone who is not a cryptography expert, is there any hope of using similar logic to train on encrypted data? Naively it seems like you could perform the same operations on the back propagation steps (or any other update algorithm you're using for non NN models) to arrive at the encrypted version of the parameter updates, which you could then decrypt to get the updated model. Am I missing something here?
She could make a song telling her fans to upload their videos to vimeo instead of youtube.
The prisoner votes situation is completely different - that's nothing to do with EU law.
Yes, if I ignore the entire thread I can have a different outcome.

What?
There aren't any new rules or regulations. It's a valid answer to an obnoxious "point"
Congrats on retiring. Thanks for the suggestions. I've added them to my list. Following your example, it sounds like maybe I should encourage my dad to seek those simpler hobbies instead of getting involved in programming, which can be quite arduous. You mentioned playing a musical instrument and I remembered my dad was a pretty good piano player years ago. He hasn't played in years, but he might be interested in picking it up again now that he has the time.
Germany, Denmark and Belgium are all bordering 0.30/kwh. Cheapest is Bulgaria around 0.10. So Lithuania pricing seems to be quite average. Maybe they mean highest relative to average income?
Didn't pump and dump exist before social media or even the Internet?

US households use 3x the electricity vs German households. They get wholesale prices.
I read 1000+ books a year or try to. Books are like Netflix, in 10 minutes you already know this is not going anywhere. The author is obliged to keep me interested at least that amount even if the subject matter requires tediousness. These books are of course stolen, but I try to pay for worthy books if ever possible. It is also often lucrative to make books available for thieves, as proves "Fight Club" , the most pirated book ever.

So the suggested pay-back scheme is assbackwards. Simple solution would make the book free except last few chapters. This would end the need for book pirating totally.
At least for one of your factors anything north of the 40th parallel would be excluded (With a few coastal regions as exceptions). As a Canadian I’m offended.
How did they get to the point of having IP in the first place? Who paid for that work?
South Korea doesn't quite fit the "liberal" label either. It's a technologically advanced country, but a socially conservative one.
Maybe I am being over critical/skeptical but tech companies could be a great way to launder money for organized crime in that part of the world.
Yup, I can buy a refurb straight truck for 50k yet a refurb firetruck costs an order of magnitude more.

Yes, they are doing the refurb in-house - but when its done for the same 500k its fully outfitted for the duty it needs to do, versus 500k for one that would still need additional conversion for firefighting.
As I understand the reasoning, it's that ZFS checksumming creates a risk of false positives where non-checksumming filesystems wouldn't have them. So without ECC RAM you're trading the risk of losing data to your IO chain for the risk of losing data to increased RAM activity. With ECC RAM it's an unambiguous win.
Thanks; I enjoyed it. Also, it was interesting that the writer of this Confessions series worked as a car salesman and ended up no longer blaming the salespeople for pushy tactics etc., but rather the sales managers and dealership owners. Listen to that podcast and you come away feeling that those people are in basically the same boat, under pressure from the manufacturers.

As for everyone else, OpenOffice has 99% of the features, so it's not even worth the trouble of pirating it.

But pirating it just got a little bit easier, so Microsoft have shifted the balance a little away from OpenOffice.
Honestly, it seems like people on HN so often assess things based on their raw usefulness. It makes sense, given that HN is read by many people who think like engineers, but in another recent thread on /r/math, people are talking about how the reason mathematicians study mathematics is not because it is useful, but because it possesses an inherent beauty/logic/whatever that makes the people who study it want to keep studying it. I'm doubling in math and CS and I have to say that the reason I am studying math is not because of any potential applicability to work I might do in software later in life, but because it has an allure for me that is unmatched by almost anything else.
The email was sent out to adsense publishers.
From my brief conversations about Office licenses, I think that the Home Usage licenses are a side effect of the per-machine licensing policy for Office. Microsoft explicitly say that you need an Office license for the machine that you're sat at while running it, so if you're accessing a Citrix server from your home PC then that home PC needs an Office license (even if it's not running Windows).
That means that the sort of places buying Enterprise agreements, with large VPNs, need a license for all of the PCs at home. So these basically come bundled once you're buying enough.

I assume that the £10 cost is just for the media (rounded up a little!). We never got as far as offering this to our users though.
I'm open to an explanation. But, I think a lot of the effect of the animation is created by the dots representing the whale and ships being huge. In reality the dots would be tiny and almost never come into visible range of each other.
> But Google is one of the few companies that gives back to projects they use.

Apple gives back to open source projects. Isn't Swift open source as well as LLVM and Webkit?

Makes sense because they made them and a long time user of them.
Rome wasn't built in a day.

As for C staying around, unfortunately yes, until we get rid of POSIX based OSes, C will be around.

After all we need to keep those <UNIX clone OS> Security conferences alive. /s
It makes sense that the top 10% to 2% become more active as blame and anger are re-routed toward them. For example, many people think the "elite" are the educated but not necessarily the wealthy. So for many, adjunct faculty are called "elites" while the Koch brothers are not.

Likewise, discussions of wealth inequality are becoming conflated with income inequality.

Yet the professional class has only marginal voting power and comparatively little to contribute to political funding, so it's not surprising that the astute ones are concerned.
None of those are your own platform. You have a share in them. Their value isn't in being "your own", it's explicitly in being "nobody's own" or "everyone's", depending on how you read it.

If you somehow use them only for yourself so they run effectively as "your own" (assuming you can and want to isolate them) you run into the same issues I mentioned above.

Your comment in brackets applies very much now ;).

> The success of one person means the failure of another.

In ideal world perf reviews should not degenerate into this. In real world, it is a zero-sum game. One example is that the budget for giving increments/hikes is always limited. To reward one individual means giving less to someone else. Second example is that of promotions. As you go up the ladder, there are fewer positions and competition is more. I can't see any other way but to stack rank the employees. The criteria used may be flawed, but that does not mean that ranking is not needed.

Talking about criteria: if its too objective people will game it, if its too subjective then all sorts of human factors come into the play.

Finding a solution for this has always been a holy grail and every now and then a company claims that "they-do-it-differently". Even if a company does this really well it only says about that point in time. It is a different thing to sustain that year over year. All companies have issues in their perf review. They only differ in toxicity.
