I am hearing this example too often. It is far from an intelligent response and reminds me of the meta contrarian [1]. An equally flippent and useless retort would be here: fragme69. There's the launch code; what use is it to you? It might take the next level of insight to point out the "danger" of Wikileaks, but further reflexion brings you back to the initial gut feeling: THIS CAN BE NOTHING BUT A GOOD THING? So what if even 100 informants get murdered? If these leaks prevents the invasion of Iran (note: Saudi Arabia are agitating for this [2]), then tens if not hundreds of thousands of civilians will be saved.

People are really laying into wikileaks. Do not forget that they are just the messenger. A near boy has been held without trail for 8 months I think now, and for what? To risk his life by highlighting fraud and corruption, only for people to be still to stupid or too embedded in the system to realise. If Wikileaks had a cache of embarrassing Chinese data, you wouldn't be able to hear anything above the "Amerkah Fuckyeah". You live in a democractic society (probably), enjoy the freedom of information, then realise you actually live in a kleptocracy and the US is a pathological state.

That's great if you only want it to be a hobby. How many people here would think it a good idea to take a lucrative job in waste management or accounting and do a little hacking on the side?
This person doesn't get it. The vote was introduced as a means of identifying with a single vote who is a climate change denier and who is not. There is no scientific consensus attempted here. It's just a clever way of getting a solid, no-frills yes or no out of our elected officials.
Time to break out some napkin math:

627,000 malaria deaths * 90% in sub-Saharan Africa[1] = 564,000 malaria deaths in sub-Saharan Africa.

564,000 deaths / population of Africa (~815 million) = 69.2 African malaria deaths per 100,000 people.

--

About 32,743 U.S. flu deaths per year, recently.[2]

32,742 deaths / population of U.S. (~316 million) = 10.4 U.S. flu deaths per 100,000 people.

--

It looks like, by these numbers, that malaria in Africa is about 6.7 times as deadly as the flu in America.

There’s a whole industry segment of attorneys specializing in denied medical claims.
> Supposedly you get wiser and expert.

Well, you do. I'm over the hill and I'm objectively more capable than I was in my 20s. It's possible for this to be true despite declining cognition.

My abilities differ. In my 20s I relied on sheer problem solving ability. I could focus for days on a problem. I think I could better visualize specifics and more reliably remember.

Wisdom is different. Later in life I find I'm more able to navigate deeper social issues, more capable of seeing bigger picture patterns. I manage myself better, and these higher order changes result in my getting a lot more done than when I was younger.

There's much more to real world brain performance than certain narrow measures of technical capability.
They successfully used an electrolyte that has been refusing to work for the last 20 years of research on the topic. That's pretty good. Carbonate (ester) electrolytes are unparalleled in stability.

But the abstract says that they're made using sulfur stabilized by[1] carbon nanofibers[1]. Great: now make a million of them.

1: EDIT: nanofibers stabilize the sulfur, but it is not encapsulated. The phrasing "within" in the abstract threw me for a loop.
> None of the "research" and use cases linked need blockchains or are made better by blockchains.

You can read at a speed I could only wish. Kudos.

And of course they don't "need" them. We don't necessarily "need" the cloud, Docker, or web frameworks either, yet here we are. Yes, there could be a new, completely open, distributed database that let multiple users monitor and inspect all historical changes, while allowing some others to make modifications in it.

We could just use Cassandra and build the whole distributed identity and storage infrastructure based on it.
I recently started using a pressure cooker (instant pot brand) to make hard cooked eggs. I use a 4 minute cooking time, instant release the pressure, then plunge the eggs right away into cold water to stop their cooking.

Even fresh eggs peel perfectly.
Is this not susceptible to a man in the middle attack? You have to trust that WhisperSystems will never release the keys, and always maintain server security. Perhaps it would be better to send the initial keys out of band.
A.I. is probably one of the most exciting concepts I know of, yet if you think about it the somewhat disappointing utilitarian "reality" of A.I. is what makes sense. For example why are no other species as intelligent as humans? Are they just slow evolvers, or suck at evolving? Are humans just blessed evolvers to achieve intelligence before everybody else? No, survival is a purely utilitarian exercise. You find a stable niche and fill it, or die. In other words humans and their brains have just stumbled upon a particular pattern of living (what with language and societies and "intelligence") that is currently "stable". What if in 500 years all humans are extinct, yet bacteria still happily do their thing. Would we still consider humans so 'intelligent'? The same rule applies to processes embodied in silicon as to processes embodied in carbon. And for as intelligent as we humans think we are, we are very bad at predicting where the next stable niche will be (otherwise we'd all be millionaire entrepreneurs). This is why when "A.I." finds a stable niche in areas like search engines and warehouse management, we are both surprised and a bit disappointed.

Judging just from the content of the headlines, that's true.

But if you think a bit about it, the US plays prominent roles in almost all of the stories.

- WikiLeaks - The US obviously plays a huge and role in this story.

- Flotilla: Gaza back in spotlight - The US is a huge supporter of Israel and a central participant in mediating the "peace process" in the region.

- Haiti: A series of catastrophes - The US has played a central role in the overall plight of Haiti, and is arguably one of the major reasons the Haitians have been so ill prepared to deal with the catastrophes that struck them.

- Gulf Oil Spill - Obviously, this happened in the US itself.

- Pakistan: A flood of misery - To my knowledge, no US involvement in creating the economic conditions in Pakistan (unlike in Haiti).

- Chile: A miracle rescue - A US-made drill was the one that reached them first, if I remember correctly. And a team from NASA was on hand to help.

- World Cup: The games come to Africa - Don't know anything about sports, so can't really comment. But I'd expect there's not much of a role for the US in this story.

- Europe: Rising to the right - I think Europe's Islamophobia and its rise of right-wing parties is influenced by the same in the US. Though, of course, there are plenty of native influences there too.

- Iceland: Eyjafjallajokull erupts - Ok, this one has nothing to do with the US at all.

- Europe: Facing austere times - The global economy is very interconnected, and much of what happened and continues to happen in Europe on this front is influenced by what happens in the US.

So, out of 10 stories, maybe 3 stories tops didn't have much if anything to do with the US. In the rest the US was either a central player or peripherally involved. Which isn't really surprising, considering it's now the lone superpower and likes to meddle in many other nation's affairs.
Charge 9.99$/month instead of 50$/year. You'll likely get more subscribers, and make more money.
If you can sell more than a million dollars of digital goods twice, I like your chances at finding a scalable model. The solution space is multidimensional but I think lots of the options in it win. (e.g. Dump the tip, charge developers 30%, do it weekly, optimize aggressively, etc.)
This applies to all kinds of people who create (artists, designers, musicians etc.), not just programmers. Me personally, I get my best ideas in the shower or when I'm running.

I know Tim Ferriss gets a bad rep around here, but he has a very good solution to this: ask to work from home, get more work done and show that you produce more results when you work from home vs working in the office.
Seems to me that both 8k and ray tracing capabilities fall into the category of better to be prepared than not, because upgrading consoles beyond the HDD isn't really much of a thing – you just replace the whole thing. Maybe they could do a PS5 Pro thing much like they did with PS4, but why not just include the hardware right off the bat if it's available and fits within the cost parameters?

As a very happy PS4 Pro customer, I'm definitely also in the optimistic camp. Heck, I don't even care all that much for the hardware, but I absolutely loved Horizon Zero Dawn and given its a PS exclusive I'll buy the PS5 just because of the next HZD installment.
I care more for a disparity between criminals and non criminals to be honest. White collar criminals dilapidate enormous amounts of money but street criminals could directly be violent towards whom they rob. (and being robbed, asides from the financial loss, it often leaves some psychological scars).

I see your point and it's hard to imagine that a person stealing say, some food, because they're starving may do time in prison and yet the author of a multimillion shenanigan goes scot-free, yes that's not fair at all, but lowering the punishment for street crime will make us average people even more miserable. The only rational thing to do is start punishing white crime seriously so it is a huge deterrent. Currently white criminals who get convicted stay in prisons whose conditions are better than the situation of a lot of struggling full time working Americans. I find that appalling
My sons are 21 and 23. I'm 45. We all three want to start something of our own (well, they want to start something together as a team, I want to do something myself). I hope we all three succeed. So I hope you are right and age is largely irrelevant.

Good luck to both you and your dad. And thanks for sharing.

Looks good. But I don't really care if I can style the editor with CSS3.
Concretely, why should I scrap my current code editor and start using Kod? Is it somehow targeted to Node.js devs; how is that better than Cloud9?
I tried making that point in a thread earlier (which start-up inspired you most in 2010) - I upvote threads that interest me, and I upvote comments that add value to the thread. If I had downvote access I would use it for flamebait, complete fallacies and and anything really offtopic. IMHO opinions, especially in threads asking for opinions, should never be downvoted, and I would upvote the ones I agree with.

Just because someone disagrees with opinion it doesn't make it a valid opinion. In the thread example I gave, what if I downvoted World Lens or Quora (not that I would - they are awesome) just because I disagreed - I think it would take away from the threads purpose.
I'd argue that it's the other way around. Older entrepreneurs have more monetary and social resources with which to start a company. Younger entrepreneurs make up on this distinction by shooting for the stars. The fact that older people tend to just want to have a profitable business, while the younger ones tend to want to change the world (at least in their perception) makes for bigger risks with bigger rewards. That's not to say some younglings aren't in it only to get rich, nor that some oldlings aren't in it to change the world of course.
My mother and father were successful musicians in their early life. Since then, my mother inherited a jewelry store from her father (who built it from scratch in 1945). My father owns a restaurant and motorcycle store. His father owned a very large elevator company, who sold it and retired. My mother's father's father was a self taught dentist. (I still have his study books from his early years). My father's father's father was a musician who was tough as nails on his kids. They played the Grand Ol' Opry back in the day.

I have to say, my entire family tree is filled with entrepreneurs. That is all I know.
I used arc90's Readability to get through it all.

Google. Such an adorably hip, cool underdog.
Sure, I'm not doubting that SCFA don't have health benefits (or that Coconut Oil doesn't), but just the claim that this rice has "half the calories" or even significantly less. Making even all of the starch present in rice "resistant" depending on the gut microbes present, it could be just as much calories (2.5-4.1 according to wikipedia) from the SCFA.

So healthier, but not "less calories" really, especially with the Coconut oil added (MCFA do have slightly less calories than LCFA, but not all of Coconut oil consists of MCFA).

I'm all about this though, and will probably give it a try myself (I like refried rice).
Could a rise in this sort of accidents (4 in 20 years, unheard-of before) mirror the rise in number of pilots, and the parallel loss of social status? As flying becomes "just another job", you will naturally get a normalized number of whacko pilots.

Rather than banning what we cannot see, maybe we should just start seriously considering scenarios where one pilot is a malicious actor.

With emphasis:

Citation needed. Software was written by and for people. If you can figure out how to trick people, you can use this knowledge to figure out what assumptions an application's developer makes and leverage this advantage to find areas where their logic is flawed. You might uncover vulnerabilities that nobody else has found this way.

And since the post is about computer security, this is incredibly important and useful.
Your brother is an alcoholic in recovery, or a 'functioning' alcoholic? Don't the airlines breathalyse pilots before they fly? An old school friend who's now a commercial pilot told me they're not allowed to drink for 24hrs before flying. I guess if there are no actual checks they can ignore the rules til they get caught...
I'm highly doubtful that a person who's done the training you've recommended will be capable of writing secure software.

The fact that you think it's that easy is a wonderful example of why there's such a disconnect between developers and crypto experts.

But there is an over reliance on javascript to make up for the shortcomings of html and css. Most websites should not need javascript. If you look at your own browsing history, how many of these websites genuinely need to run client side logic?

If a user ends up on a webmail or an online gaming website, I don't think he will be surprised if he is asked whether he would like to allow this website (not third parties) to execute javascript (and to keep that setting). If that same user goes on any blog, forum, news or ecommerce website, there is really no good reason to execute client side code.

Auto completion in a text box (or server validation by input without a full POST) should have been embedded in html a long time ago. And it took 20 years before they finally agreed to add a datepicker tag, not exactly a new problem. Because of the glacial pace of evolution of html, we became used to javascript tricks to make up for what html doesn't do. And flash is mostly used for the same reason.

That doesn't mean that flash and javascript don't have any use.
One of the interviews I had just had me write some code before hand and then we talked about the code I had written during the interview. I kind of liked that format. Basically whoever game up with best algorithm got the interview. It saved everyone a lot of time and they gave you GC for just doing the assignment.
My specific content or the content that is normally available by other companies?
Where there any legal implications you had to consider? I mean did you reach out to the creators of SublimeText before creating your product?

Looking forward to your message!
The point that is transmitted as part of the shared secret isn't guaranteed to be from the curve but not checked (and it'd be expensive to do so). The problem deos not exist with carefully chosen curves. TBH, It's highly unlikely I got that right, so there's an example in the first half of the talk, you might want to watch.
Something else.

If you're expecting a curve with 2^250 ish possible resultant values, and you perform a calculation on a curve with only 2^13 ish possible values, you're going to leak some information about the number you gave it.

The ECC Hacks talk by Dan Bernstein and Tanja Lange explains it better than I can.
This is really neat! Works great for California, NJ, NY as far as I can tell.

A nice pre-zip-code-entry might be a way to see a visualization of all the areas you have mapped as having access to vaccines? (my first thought after entering Phoenix and Santa Fe zip codes was... hmmm is this broken?)
This product seems very similar to Motif.com, which shutdown about a year ago. How do you plan to avoid sharing their fate?
Maybe my impression following the Phoenix and LiveView commits was wrong but it still feels it's mainly two people.

José works at the same time on Elixir, Phoenix, LiveView, Ecto, Nx, Dashboard and more, it's a lot.

To be fair there also has been integration of LV in the Phoenix mix tasks, in addition to the Dashboard (using LV, ah!), so it's not like things are stalling.
I mean I wouldn't really want a union, but I'd prob vote yes after that just because I don't like being told not to.
We do plan to offer Dvorak, Workman, and Colemak keyboards. In a normal laptop, it would never really be feasible to do this because you'd be sitting on a lot of really niche, expensive inventory. In our case, the input assembly is one of the configurable items in the Framework Laptop DIY Edition, so we only have to stock the variants of that module, rather than full laptops.

This lets us cover languages and layouts that have historically been missing from notebooks.
I downvote comments which I think make bad arguments. They either posit something without justifying it, or simply re-state what they said in their last comment.

This is not a judgement of the commenter's self-worth—merely of what I think other users ought to see. This way, the most interesting comments rise to the top, the least interesting comments fade away, and HN becomes a more interesting place with a higher signal-to-noise ratio.

In the case of your comment, I personally felt it was just a rehash of your prior comment (which does not appear to have a negative score as of this writing), without adding anything new. The comment reads "it's not downvote or nothing," but doesn't offer a plausible alternative for maintaining HN's high level of discourse.

Because the comment didn't contain anything new (as far as I could tell), I couldn't respond without perpetuating a circuitous thread. My response would likely have been downvoted as well, and rightly so.

I also downvoted your followup "why was I downvoted" comment, because the guidelines say not to discuss comment scores. I like this guideline, because arguing about comment votes is boring and uninteresting. Furthermore, if I answered your question, I'd be breaking the guideline myself. I'm now doing it anyway because you asked multiple times. :)

It's very possible that the other downvoters and I all misunderstood your comment. Then again, if we all misunderstood, it's likely other readers will too, and I'm thinking of their reading experience.

Anyway, I hope you'll stick around and I definitely hope you did not die!
No. Dependence upon East Asian semi fabrication is a liability even if you're best buddies (as with Taiwan). TSMC was founded by Morris Chang -- hard to find a more reasonable, US-friendly, capitalist person in the industry -- but every time a butterfly flaps its wings in Asia-Pacific, we have to worry about the sanctity and continuity of our semiconductor supply chain.

NVDA just reported earnings and, while booming, it was not the blowout that you'd expect in the context of the greater demand picture for their products. That's in an environment where you don't have open multinational warfare in Asia-Pacific and their manufacturing partner TSMC is firing on almost all cylinders (water shortage excepted).

Fabs in the US and elsewhere in the Americas are more defensible in times of war, and more likely to prioritize demand from US companies when supply tightens.
And obviously it's not working due to the lack of power labor has in the face of automation and globalization.
Did you account for how much energy to create the Tesla as well?
I like DigiCert.

One nice thing they do is give you a www alt name for your domain. (e.g. alt name == www.apple.com for domain apple.com). Thawte charges a minimum of $169 for this.

This means that your certificate will be able to be used by www.domain.com and domain.com.

Some certs aren't able to be used for both (https://amazon.com), and the alternative is to buy two certs.
One reason it's prettier is because it is no longer accompanied by a huge plastic power brick that's almost half the size of the computer itself.
The site is down. Summary, anyone?
Ah.. one of the lightning never strikes twice type of ideas that worked well for one guy but all the followers and imitators were left in the frigid cold wasteland.

I knew a lot of people that would just sit there and dartboard the site for a half hour each day. I just went a few times and looked at how it was filling up and trying to figure out if there was anything else to do like that myself.
Slight tangent, but I've noticed there are two types of Tesla fans. They intersect somewhat, but also have big areas of disagreement.

The first are car enthusiasts. They like the cars Tesla is producing.

The second are robotaxi/FSD evangelists. They want Tesla to spearhead the movement of ultimately eliminating (or significantly reducing) car ownership in favor of the robotaxi network. In fact, some of them even want Tesla to stop selling cars to the general public in favor of retaining them for the robotaxi fleet.
Speedy trial can vary from state to state. If not in custody, PA considers anything under 4 or 5 years from the charge being brought to be speedy.
