Hm... great intentions, but you don’t seem to have actually answered any of the questions from the parent comment.

Unfortunately, great intentions alone won’t make this work; someone has to actually answer the hard questions about how it’s going to work too.

All the answers I’ve seen so far trying to answer them have been vague hand waving...

That doesn’t leave me with much confidence.
+1 to BuyVM. Happy customer for multiple years.

They are really the perfect size for me: big enough for multiple locations, R&D, and support coverage; but small enough so that you personally interact with the team, and you have trust that a random DMCA isn't going to end up with your site nuked.

The privacy-first stance (including allowing Tor exit nodes! sorely needed on independent infra!), and general willingness to help you ad-hoc (e.g. you wanna announce your own IP range? they'll do it, charge you a fair price for the work).

On the other hand, I woke up one day with my DigitalOcean droplet suspended and account banned, and support absolutely refuses to tell me why. My only suspicion is perhaps because I used the GitHub Student Pack even after I was no longer a student.
Neat idea. A real good test of NLP to identify similar posts/tweet and posters. Signals could be generating by swiping left or right based on interest of the post, or clicking on a star or heart to indicate 'super interest'.

Will no doubt end up in situations where people are complaining about _other peoples_ filter bubbles though.
I've been trying out Tridactyl, and like it so far. I believe it's similar to Pentadactyl, though maybe missing some features.

It seems like a bit of a ramble to me. I think his underlying point is that technology which creates external dependencies, especially highly centralized dependencies, is bad for a bunch of reasons.
> Whales are nice to have but any financial model that includes them is gonna end up focusing on pleasing them. With a broader fan base I mostly need to worry about doing creative work that pleases me.

Woah.

That was a beautifully put summary of something I (and I suspect many others) have intuitively known, but perhaps have never articulated so well.

Framing it like this helps to make it a memorable guiding principle in all strategic decisions going forward.

Just wanted to say thanks.

It's also not a lot of data, of course. "Viewing data" is under a megabyte.
Talking about personality models seems to appeal to INTJs and INTPs more than anyone else. Never hearing about other types probably says something about your social circles too.

All of this - and maintenance. The house that may be "inexpensive" re: sale price may cost just as much to fix. The cost of fixing X sq ft of thing or replacing appliance Y may certainly increase with the size of the home, but even small homes can have major expenses (and if you are in a "cheaper" area this means more home for less, so more to fix).

Lack of regulation in places without rigid building code enforcement can also make it hard to find people who aren't hacks (if you can find people at all) in construction.
I’ve been running a pair of BeagelBone Black SBCs for this for years. The one I just retired to replace with the current model had been running nearly continuously since 2014. (Powered down to move — twice — and for power outages here and there.) It's anecdotal, but my experience so far is that the onboard eMMC seems faster and is less corruption-prone than SD cards.
Seems like you do react to it by being scared and then posting about that reaction on HN.
Thank you for your comment. How apt it is that I found it via synchronicity of reading the /newcomments page :)
Once an application is running it's reasonably fast but Wine has always taken endlessly time to start up, at least on my machine. It feels similar to Java VMs in that respect.
As far as I can tell in the Netherlands you should just declare it as income with the tax service.

I don't think you need to do anything with VAT.
I was wondering if you can prevent this by looking at the "Accept" header in the request but it seems accept is "/" for scripts. I'd expect the browsers rather to send "application/javascript".

Then the answer from my server will be 400 because I don't have a javascript representation of this url.
What country are you currently in? If you can get a job at a worldwide software company and then do a placement in the US you'll have a much higher chance of getting a visa. If you can handle continuing to work in Engineering there must be a lot of options involving coding. Look at adverts for big engineering companies (in that area) and look for software jobs, that way you'll have lots of relevant experience.
Oh, right, silly me for not reading the context.
This is JRuby, not plain Ruby.
I would agree that in both Akka and Erlang message passing works in an asynchronous way.

For me the difference is more that Akka has a push-style approach to message processing in the receiver (the receive message is automatically called) whereas Erlang and also e.g. the F# Mailboxprocessor use a pull-style appproach (you call receive to fetch a message). I like the latter approach better, because it allows one to start also different asynchronous operations which won't be interrupted by the reception of a new message.
I am no lover of the current system and would love to see it changed to be more equitable. But for better or worse as things stand right now, stock markets and prosperity, even of ordinary people, are apparently very strongly correlated. Ideally fixing them should not plunge the world into recession (or worse).

Where there are inequality issues, surely the safest thing is to just adjust tax rates and social spending to fix those. Viewing securities exchanges as a possibly useful machine that needs watching is much better than turning it into to a gambler's play ground for no good reason.
Sorry, as written, your sentence seems fairly calculated to give the impression something minimal is happening when you clearly know something other than "a friendly discussion" is happening. My post above says why I believe this. Feel free to answer the specific problems I raise.
Including a photo is common (really required) in France, which is presumably the target market of this resume. The CEO of my former employer in Paris quipped he didn't understand why people wouldn't include a photo: "What are they trying to hide, we are going to see them eventually?"
The takedown notification was sent through their support system. It appears to be auto-generated.
I think the point that he's (poorly) trying to make is that Apple, both through design and through marketing, is positioning iOS as a warm, embracing experience that brings you joy - while Android is (willingly) being painted as a cold, efficient tool that lets you accomplish the task at hand but doesn't want you to stay for dinner.

Man, not 24 hours ago you tried to convince us all that an article did not contain certain information, when any literate person could see that it did. You're not only a liar, you're a bad liar; your only strategy is making bold, false claims and hoping that everyone is too lazy to follow up on them. Why should we believe anything that you say?

The nature vs. nurture argument has its merits in general, but sometimes nature just produces a complete freak. Being surrounded by geniuses probably isn't that valuable when you're head and shoulders above even them.
In theory, this is the function of the editor -- be it a section editor, a managing editor, or someone else who bears the title "editor." In practice, editors have been very hard hit by the journalism crunch. There are still plenty of fantastic editors out there; they're just not getting hired, kept on, or appropriately compensated for their contribution anymore. Editors' heads are often the first on the guillotine when the cost-cutting rounds begin. The editors who survive the purge are often wildly overstretched. Others are extremely green--college kids, hired for a third of what an experienced editor gets paid, under the misguided assumption that anyone with a journalism degree can successfully fulfill the responsibilities of an editor.

(For what it's worth: I don't know anyone on the Guardian's staff, and am making no specific accusations here.)
Well, that's what we think they did. We don't know that. But even still, if it were true it does just highlight that when they're not relying on existing data they really don't have good instincts.
At an early web development job, I was in a pitch meeting for a horoscope website where the designer of the "system" asked for my birthday. I told him Oct 1st and he preceded to do his calculations and how it showed that I was obviously a leader and people looked up to me, and how it was so insightful etc. Only problem was that I was actually born on July 6th.
I was recently looking for a sliding qwerty keyboard phone and to my dismay I realised that while we weren't looking, the NSA took them all away!

In my quest I found a phone database where you can search by features (I forget which one right now) and sorted through all possible candidates. My hopes went up momentarily when I saw the Dell Venue Pro[1] before I clicked "next" and saw how wrong they got it[2].

Eventually I sumbled on the Motorola Photon Q[3] - which I'm not even supposed to have, as it doesn't come with a SIM slot at all. Luckily some enterprising Korean guys have figured out the modding process and are selling them on ebay. I tried my luck and received it a few days ago. Really good value for money, loving the sliding action and physical keys but wish it were a bit more powerful. I think I've compensated for this mostly by cutting out a lot of fat and its puny dual core CPU now runs 4.4 fairly comfortably. I'll probably go back to my Nexus 5 soon but it's a great backup phone and I love the keyboard.

I'm half convinced that a custom N4/5 backplate with a built-in keyboard would sell like crazy. #kickstarterideas

TL;DR: Look at Moto Photon Q.

No, those are the applications of linear algebra.

Linear algebra itself is just a study of vector spaces and linear operators and transforms and such.
just the opposite. Many teachable subjects from Journalisism to data science, biology to finance increasingly include Python. NLTK, Beautiful Soup, Pandas, Ipython Notebook, Matplotlib... Programming is a tool for getting things done, and few languages offer students more tools for doing than Python. On HN we sometimes forget the ubiquity and pure value of automation and anaysis. We focus perhaps too much on software engineering (in this case gaming).
Here's the full URL, which was embedded into another URL:

https://www.healthcare.gov/see-plans/85601/results/?county=04019&age=40&smoker=1&parent=&pregnant=1&mec=&zip=85601&state=AZ&income=35000&step=4

Looks like a plausible search URL from a <form> element with GET. Putting it into the querystring instead of a POST body is a bit surprising, but I think not utterly negligent. Then some Javascript code (maybe not even healthcare.gov's in-house code) looked at window.location.href and put it into another URL, and nobody noticed or stopped it. That is negligent, but more understandable, and fair to presume as unintentional, I think.

There's plenty to be legitimately upset about here, but your comment ("specifically code the application to concatenate") seems to imply the code has something outrageous like "&pregant="+currentUser.pregnant+"&smoker="+currentUser.smoker somewhere, without you giving any evidence that's the case.
I agree about the general position that girls are more socially focused, but you put a sad and cynical twist to it...

Look at GTA V, when it launched people couldn't even play the multiplayer component

A staggered release of features is quite a good solution to the problem. There's no reason why a game has to be feature complete before it's released. Some parts can be added in subsequent minor versions. It happens with every other kind of software.
The architecture probably was(kind of), but my guess is that their main technician was not.
I was thinking about this the other day. From an information perspective, it shouldn't be impossible to design the system you describe (including the implied nuances) because spam usage patterns do and must look different than normal usage patterns under any system that penalizes new accounts.

Hypothetically, the worst you could do would be astroturf. (aka the US/Chinese military style "slightly biased posts from a large number of centrally controlled but seeming unrelated accounts")

However, the idea of slight bias over longer periods is somewhat antithetical to the idea of a spam. In that it might influence you to buy Sparkle towels (honestly, with Amazon prices that low and shipping that easy... [meta :p]) over a competitor, but isn't going to convince you to navigate to {insert sketch get-rich-quick spam scheme here}.

Weeding out astroturf is an entirely more interesting problem though...

One option is to shrink your world to the things you have direct experience with. So yes, type systems are obviously a good thing - for you. Then the obvious question is why would somebody believe otherwise - and you can learn something by asking it. Worry about figuring out what the world is actually like once you've got a sample size of more than two.

There's a line on tax returns for illegally gained money. I always wonder if anyone fills it in and what the result is.
Think of it as a declarative program, you describe the state of the machine as you want it and the nix package manager handles all of the rest.

It downloads, installs, configures, builds and runs from your declarative description. This is my understanding of how nix works anyway.
Looks like they have a AWD and AWD (triple engine) package.
Installing the tracking device requires a warrant, meaning it's classified as a "search," not as testimony. It's 4th Amendment territory, not 5th Amendment.

If removing the tracking device is pleading the 5th, then putting the tracking device on at all would be a violation of the 5th Amendment. You can philosophize a testimonial aspect into almost anything, but the courts take a more narrow view of what gets protected by the 5th.
I do not care one whit what Wikipedia has to say about anything. It's not a useful source of information.

And I didn't say "love it or leave it", I asked a question. People who hate where they are, complain about it incessantly, compare it to things they've never experienced in order to denigrate it absurdly, cons the fuck out of me with why they stay.

This is definitely not true. I got hit by a car while crossing at an intersection (I had a green light, but no walk signal). The police report said I was at fault.
There are other motor options which have AWD. There's also an option which tows 14,000 lbs, which is a very large load, double the load an F-150 tows.
Google has the corporate equivalent of ADHD. Having talked with ex-googlers and current googlers, the problem seems to be deeply baked into their culture. The incentive structures seem to favor the sexy over the boring, making it much more likely that someone will get promoted for launching products versus growing one.

The fix seems to be obvious, create a separate path, a maintenance and growth hacker path, where people can take ownership of products and grow them over time. Perhaps people could be judged by their market traction, making them sort-of internal entrepreneurs who over a decade or more, get to share the benefits of shepherding their project.

Subsidized, and even subsequently outsourced development to other companies, though I realize this isn't necessarily unusual. It just isn't made public.
Without listing any of the modules or improvements that are in the standard library in 3 but backported as PyPI modules to 2 (of which there are many), here are the features that I actually use in Python 3: unicode handling that isn't insane, function annotations, async improvements, exception chaining, enums, single-dispatch generics, better SSL support, generator delegation, better int-bytes conversion support, unittest module improvements.

The key point is that 2.7 is a language frozen in time, while 3.4+ is continuing to develop and improve. And most of the hand-wringing was before the critical mass of third-party modules was ported to 3.x.

It has now reduced to 4 cents per GB for Jio Fiber. I'm sure local ISPs have reduced prices even more just to compete with Jio (in some places you can get 3.3TB for 10$)
You are right, thanks for specifying it.
Naturally DHCP is handled by the original network when the original network can be seen, yes!

But if the original network is unavailable - perhaps the SSID has changed for example - you need to be able to get to the repeater's configuration page somehow. And the user can't google their problems or download any configuration tools while their connection is down, so you'd better make it simple. So many devices like this will be transparent under normal operation, but if there's a network problem will start their own DHCP server.
More specifically, the gene that enables syncytiotrophoblasts to do what they do enabled placentas to be compatible with an adaptive immune system. So the evoution of the placenta needs to be seen in the immune system context, a more simple immune system may not have a problem with a non-self embryo in the body. So the virus gene could be one of the factors that enabled a proto-placent to evolve along an adaptive immune system. [Note this is pure speculation, I haven't read up on the evolutionary timescales of either.]

I didn't look for any resources beyond the LSP spec and VS Code documentation, so I can't offer any recommendations here I'm afraid. That said, looking back I'm pretty happy with the choice of using VS Code as the initial editor to get things up and running. While not perfect (e.g. VS Code will silently ignore your JSON message if you miss a closing brace), the docs are pretty good and it offers a reasonable level of debugging functionality (such as an output window where you can see messages sent to the language server). The Muon VS Code extension [1] is pretty minimal in itself, and it's MIT licensed so feel free fork and use it as a starting point.

SBCL supports saving compressed images so even without tree shaking, standalone executables are small. Not a problem.

Yep, after setting to strict limits on their free plans, I abandoned them, and built my own, local "dropbox" (syncthing), and haven't looked back since.
> But most people don't actually drive that far more than a few times a year; if at all.

Absolutely true, but, until we move to a "usage" rather than "possession" model for cars, this will be the biggest obstacle to massive adoption of EV as the primary car.

At this point people get that they probably only run 100km a day at most, and that an EV would perfectly suit their daily commute (small EVs would be the perfect yellow jacket thing.)

However, everybody has family to visit on the other side of the country twice a year.

The moment you cross the psychological threshold of 1000km on a single charge (or, roughly a full day of highway), the whole game changes.

Would it be better if people commuted by train and ebike, visited their family by trains and had small easy to rent EVs for the days they need a car ? Sure. Will it happen before 70 years of cultural impact of personal car change ? Hard to tell.
