I wouldn't feel comfortable being stripped of the right to have no phone.
It is boring.

I occasionally use it as a way to contact someone if I don't have their current email or phone number though.

So I still keep my account but I post a picture or status update roughly biannually.
Hence the disappointment.
That's a fair point. Really the whole thing bugs me. It seems they could be solving real problems with all those cycles.
I'm wondering why it's using 6-star rating. It got me really confused for a moment since my mind is used to ratings out of 5 stars, not 6.
The question of how to compare prices over time is an interesting one in economics. There are a few answers which have been arrived at.

There's Angus Maddison's history of GDPs dating to the year 1.

Gregory Clark of UC Davis has compiled a price history of England dating from 1209 to 1914:

http://www.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/gclark/papers/Agprice.pd...

Generally, there are commodities with fairly well-established prices and costs, including food and energy. In particular, food as a share of average wages is a reasonable proxy over time.

Another argument is that money should ultimately be considered to be backed in energy units, an idea I've traced to H.G. Wells and a 1914 short story. It appears subsequently in Arthur C. Clarke, R. Buckminster Fuller, and Kim Stanley Robinson's writings.

Clarke was quite the fan of Wells.
Nim has the feel of a compiled Python (with many additional features that Python is lacking). It is garbage collected, is designed to look as pseudocode'ish as possible.

Rust is designed for systems projects where GC is not a good idea, such as web browsers, or kernels, etc. One of its core design philosophies is to manage memory safely and efficiently.
If you do so, you run the risk that in the future the Singapore dollar is no longer pegged to a basket of currencies.
Hi valdiorn,

Thanks for your message!

For the UI docking, it comes has an extension for clap. First there is the gui extension, which just has open()/close(), and then comes an other extension: embed (host), embed/win32 (plugin), embed/X11 (plugin), embed/*. So embedding is available only if the plugin support it.

It would be really nice to have the UI done with Qt or Gtk. Yet they're not fit for such plugin UI (because of the global variables and the main loop, ...).

One of my friend (phant0m) is starting to write a UI toolkit which does not rely on global variables, and should be convenient for plugin UI. I think that we can achieve pretty cool UI with a 2D scene graph, with a vector backend like cairo, and some event handling and windowing abstraction. So work is in progress here.

For the process isolation I like a lot the idea, but if I can have bug free plugins, use them in the same process and benefit from a noticeable performance gain, I prefer "in engine" hosting. Also this is the new option of Bitwig: "only as a bit bridge".

Also the one plugin/one process idea is already possible with jack, right?

For the adoption, it is a big challenge. Let's see how it goes ;-)

I hope that I did not forget to answer one of your point.

Cheers :)
I'm not sure you're talking about Julia here. Or maybe it has some way of interfacing with the JVM that I'm not familiar with? I've thought Julia's interop story had more to do with being able to interface with C code easily via LLVM.

For the JVM, Clojure and Incanter seem like a better statistical bet. I heard they're moving toward a 2.0 release of Incanter too...
By and large, the main product of the Web industry is the user. Content or code that is sold as a property or a service is used to lure in the product (the user) and sell the most-commercially viable aspect of the product (that is the information about their "categories") to the highest bidders (advertisers).

Is it too much of a stretch to say that this mode of user-segregation-and-information-selling is pretty much a new form of "commoditization" of human beings.
Interesting idea! One of the very next steps is coming up with an import feature which may include europass CV too, but Linkedin will come first though! Much appreciated!
You can't help someone by psychoanalyzing them on an internet forum. Please don't do this here again.
My vote is for ARP Networks.

http://www.arpnetworks.com/

They officially support FreeBSD and OpenBSD as well as various Linux distributions, and since their VPSs are KVM rather than Xen-based you don't have to worry about building or running a Xen kernel inside your VM. In my experience they're very reliable.
The procedure for police responding to one of these is to just secure the perimeter and wait for the stuff to clear before going in. I've heard they can also send in a K-9 unit and the dogs will find anyone in the building. As well, PIR sensors should be able to detect movement inside the building as most of them are thermal.

As for the security cameras, great idea for having the HD one at the outside or on the entrance. I for one am not a big believer in cameras as i know a couple of police officers and they say if the crook is half minded, and covers their face and wears baggy clothes, its almost impossible to get a description from a camera. Besides how many stories on the news do you hear of these idiots getting caught from an identification off a security camera? It would be interesting to see stats on that...
A very nice touch. About a month ago, I got an alert that my account had been accessed from China... Never would have known I was at risk otherwise.
The problem is that chatrouletter was a novelty. The bored teenagers are already moving on to the next thing. I don't even want to imagine what you'd try and sell to an audience of a few dozen exhibitionists.
I suppose this is evidence that hype works, at least over short time scales, although in this case I guess that his reputation must have subsequently suffered.

I've used SpiderOak and I was happy with it. I only used it to synchronize files across my laptops and desktops so I don't have any experience with mobile clients for it. I now use cron, rsync, and ZFS snapshots for versioning of all of my home directories. Both solutions worked well for me and which one, if either, is best depends on your situation.
A decade or so ago, I heard computer programming described as a very good occupation for a person who had Asperger syndrome or perhaps limited social skills. I also recall reading then that some surveys of programmers working in that era suggested that those programmers were much more introverted than the general population. But I used to notice when I installed new programs on my Microsoft Windows computer, even after installing Windows 95, that sometimes installing one program would disable another program. That made me wonder if maybe social skills are an essential element of good programming skills. Now when software may have to run in the cloud, interacting with other software hosted on other hardware, all attempting to operate synchronously, wouldn't "software social skills" be rather important for any developer to understand?
This is why we're increasingly going for option three: summary execution on foreign soil on sight via military robot spyplane.

Not that I have a problem with that, really. The real problem is that our legal categories haven't caught up with reality. Regular criminals we catch, try and imprison. But soldiers of an enemy nation we shoot on sight... unless they surrender, in which case we're obliged to keep 'em as POWs until hostilities end and then return them to the other country. Unless they're not legit combatants (e.g. they're spies or saboteurs or otherwise not dressed in proper military uniforms) in which case we can declare 'em illegal combatants and shoot them.

That's the way it used to be, but now that we live in a world where non-state organizations make war against states (well, war against everything) there's a need for some new legal classification. If you're a real honest-to-Allah member of Al Qaeda then I don't think that the civilian "release 'em until they actually kill someone then try 'em for murder" is a good strategy. On the other hand "kill 'em as soon as they pop their head up" has too high a risk of false positives.
I assume strike one is this:

Yeah - guides and books coming when the core Smalltalk compiler is complete - from source to bytecodes.
The compiler grammar was just streamlined in the branch and will make trunk in next couple of days.
There was a minor issue with backtracking which caused a big delay in parsing and now with the new grammar there is no backtracking at all. - Tight and Fast.
Rgs, James.
Sure but I can start writing code now, in anticipation of the full set.
It's more like: Travelers who knew how to quickly get to Terminal X to take an airline that routed flights though <HUB B> instead of <HUB A> got home in time for Christmas. Those who didn't were locked out and slept in the airport.
It worked for Antennagate. The issue basically went away as people starting using the phones and noticed that they in fact worked fine.

edit: how the heck does a simple statement of fact get downvoted? iPhone 4 is prevalent enough that even if the near complete lack of ongoing complaints in the press and blogosphere doesn't convince you, you should be able to actually ask a bunch of iPhone 4 owners. You will find that in fact the "problem" is largely a non-issue.
Strike 1 was when they got caught lying about whether their employees could decrypt your files or not.
And the question is would it even remotely effect the overall background radiation already present. Radiation is generated from multitude of sources and adding this got be homeopathy levels of dilution.
If you view everything at a high level then there is no difference, but that doesn't mean we pretend that nature == culture.
Partially right. I have a DIY machine with Ubuntu. There has been display issues, sound issues, and hibernation issues as well. If you go to Ubuntu's bug report website (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu), there is a huge list of them. It is true for other distros and Windows (internally).
I will pay for Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. They saw the market before it was a thing and went for it. If the content I want to consume is not on those services then I am going to watch it pirated for free.

I will never pay any of the established players that have now moved into the space and tried to fracture it.

It's a knowledgebase article using a standard Support/Resolution template (that might not be changeable). The irony is thoroughly amusing and IMO appropriate.
According to Wikipedia, EPUB requires readers to support the HTML5, JavaScript, CSS, SVG formats. For me it seems like another name of HTML.
what about Ethereum?
It really is.

I keep buying into the Apple ecosystem because of their stance on user privacy. Sure, they aren't perfect; but they are miles ahead of there competitors.
Only if there is no innovation and there is no supply constraints, otherwise you have a competitive advantage.

Don't you need the armies to protect the infrastructure that powers bitcoin? And if you get to the point where you don't need armies, do you need a massive global network to verify you can trust the people you're doing business with?
The intrinsic value of gold is a fraction of what it trades for.
That equivalence exists in the domain of classical physics.

Bitcoin only exists in semiconductor systems: its ineffectiveness stems from the extra logical layer (gates on silicon) which, while based on quantum effects, does not utilize quantum effects directly for calculation.
I have two cats trained to do specific behaviors to get fed -- but different behaviors, and lately there has been a lot of politics between the two of them (e.g. one of them will signal to get food not because they want to eat it but because they want to make a scene with the other cat.)
Spending energy on bitcoin would replace the need for militaries?
1985: "Ha, look at those comic book guys. What losers! No girls would ever be interested in them."

2015: "Ha, look at those comic book nerds. What misogynists! No girls would ever be interested in them."
Does the bitcoin protocol foresee in a situation where the hashing capacity is drastically reduced? (It has admirably adjusted to the increase in hashing power but it is not unthinkable that a few very large miner farms going out of business would actually reduce the hashrate of the network to the point where the transaction speed would slow down so much that the whole institution becomes un-usable.)
Does anyone have an alternative site they go to to buy household goods than amazon.com? Mostly kitchen supplies.

Amazon often sells items lower quality than Walmart. It sucks and it feels like they have a monopoly. I'd rather shop anywhere else.

edit: Maybe https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/ ? I haven't bought anything there, but I might try it if there are not better recommendations.
I had the same reaction but I fucking love it, whatever it is.

They could, but the optics of such an action would be really, really bad. Moreover, my gut feeling is that most researchers that use sci-hub could obtain most of the papers through their employer's subscription anyway. It's just that the UX of Sci-Hub is so much better.
It's tough when so many shallow dismissive articles show up.
I have never spoken to an individual with less understanding of humans or human emotion than you. That's almost amazing except that at this point, it's pathetic and dangerous for the world. Your entire tone is egotistical, overly aggressive and rude. Now no more of this, I genuinely wish that I had never engaged with you.
Which makes at least a little sense when I'm on another site. But just this morning, Amazon started "recommending" a product to me that I'd actually bought from Amazon two months ago. How many printers does Amazon think I need?
I was assuming the question was open to "moral" interpretations, rather than strictly legal ones. In turn I keep my position even with your concerns, because the utilitarian calculus of comparing "being able to pay for things anonymously" vs "this is helpful for fraud prevention" is basically a non question in my mind.
I agree! The boston dynamics buy was shocking. I get that they don't have the clearest business sales plan in the world or the biggest profits in the world, but I love seeing their robots do things.
I'm interested to find out what makes these groups so different that being a walkable area is incompatible between them.
A scapegoat via the New York Times citing a government investigation? That seems rather roundabout

Boeing is a national asset and has hundreds of marketing vendors in India.

Boeing is a national asset and it's gonna be institutionally owned heavily or dismantled and sold off into different units.

Gonna be wild to watch.
This page looks very useful: https://leetresumes.com/blog/leet-resumes-technical-resume-d...

Do you mind if I share a link to it on social media?
For the purpose expounded by the author, I find this to be a good move (somewhat similar to accessibility). I agree that serving HTTP to old machines and browsers is better than providing a false sense of comfort by using broken ciphers and protocols. Continuing to serve HTTPS for newer browsers with stronger protocols sounds like a good way to serve more people.

Aside from addressing the CSS and JS minimalism required for such sites to accommodate older browsers, how would one get the server settings done on Apache on a shared web host? The author provides instructions only for nginx.
Have you tried Firefox 52 ESR? it no longer received updates, but it should work on XP (SP3 at least), and supports TLS 1.2, which almost every site should support nowadays. It should work fine for a while until we gradually move to TLS 1.3+ exclusively, and there is no deadline set for that.
In almost none of those cases did the Plaintiffs actually present evidence of fraud. In fact, in many cases, when asked, the lawyers explicitly denied that they were fraud cases. So if the evidence was so strong, why wasn't it presented to the court? Your 2cd best bet is to blame incompetent lawyers, but my money is on the crappy quality of the so-called evidence. Like where they said Michigan counties over-counted but they counties were actually in Minnesota.
false negatives much worse than false positives .
> This might be true for everyone at Gumroad, but I wouldn't be so sure. You also seem dismissive (probably unintentionally) of one of the biggest problems we have in the US right now: health care and insurance is ridiculously expensive–especially for people with families who want to be self-employed or contractors.

I don't want to be dismissive, but with a full remote job why not go live in a country where healthcare is a thing? Especially if you have a family. Now that I'm writing that, I realize that it might be hard to get a Visa.
This is not really about scope. In the particular case of JS scope is not an issue at all; the engine handles the closures and scopes for you.

The issue is that once you start doing serious work with asynchrony -- filtering streams, handling disconnects, backing out of parse errors, and dealing with parallelism all at the same time -- then being able to reason clearly about the control flow is paramount to getting anything done.

If sometimes code below the callback registration will be executed first, and sometimes not, depending on unpredictable runtime state, it's game over. Even if you understand the code and it works now, good luck when a dependency update introduces a new corner case and your app's control flow has been radically changed and you're stuck midnight-debugging the mess.

I guess this is one of the things you learn in the trenches, along with avoiding global variables and not optimizing prematurely.
Exactly. It's like a cool easter egg.
Nice and smooth with FF24 on Android (Galaxy S4).
While I don't think that "police by consent" would require everyone to consent, if one in four people don't then I think that at least calls it into question.

It would be interesting to see the numbers broken down by jurisdiction and demographic. This is just speculation, but I would guess that some jurisdictions and demographics are policed by consent but that many are not.
Been using a go-ruck as my everyday carry, since 2012 or so. Pricey but the thing is bombproof.

Also have an Osprey Farpoint 40 for travel on a plane.
> formaldehyde

As a metabolic intermediate, formaldehyde is present at low levels in most living organisms. Formaldehyde can be found naturally in food up to the levels of 300 to 400 mg/kg, including fruits and vegetables (e.g. pear, apple, green onion), meats, fish, crustacean and dried mushroom, etc.

Ingestion of a small amount of formaldehyde is unlikely to cause any acute effect. The main health concern of formaldehyde is its cancer causing potential. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) considered that there was sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in humans upon occupational exposure via inhalation. On the other hand, WHO in 2005 when setting its Drinking Water Guidelines considered that there was no definitive evidence for carcinogenicity upon ingestion.
I find it pretty easy to use. Perhaps I just have more practice than you do.
This goes into the territory of whataboutism.

Saying that X is bad doesn't mean Y isn't also bad. You're just focusing on X at the moment. It's fine to discuss Y too, but consider whether it's relevant to the current discussion or derailing it.

It's unreasonable to address all issues when discussing a specific point. Furthermore, it's most reasonable and charitable to assume good faith on the part of your fellow participants.

Bringing in unrelated topics just to make some abstract point isn't very helpful to the discussion.

Imagine you were trying to open a soup kitchen to feed the local homeless population in your city, and every time you tried to discuss it someone pointed out that there's way more starving kids in Africa, so what about them?
It runs counter to popular belief. The author makes however a good case for it going the way of "deleting cookies / using VPNs ... anonymizes you" soon. You get a while of "this is only theoretical" till one day its common knowledge.

I blame complexity btw. Burn it all down and we might be able to start over in rather acceptable digital stone age.
It is more complicated, but the rule of "if you are more than 10 years from retirement, buy VTI when you have available money" works well for an absolutely huge number of people. You can optimize things, but there are effective strategies that fit on note cards.

I get that F@H does a lot of computation with my CPU/GPU if I am running the client. What do those cycles do? It tries a bunch of random stuff to calculate... what? What is it trying? It sounds a lot like Bitcoin mining, but I'm not sure what it's trying to do.
I used MS FS5 when I got my IFR endorsement, and was able to do it in the minimum hours needed, saving me at least a grand.

MS FS was the engine for some military sims in the early 2000's, and Qantas pilots did IFR currency practice on it when I was flying in NZ.

Although the terrain was pretty good, what made MS FS acceptable for pro use were the excellent instrument panels.
I just want to publicly announce:

It’s not likely to change in a week. U.S. hospitals are required by law to not use expired products.
Sure. But he went into that 260hp car effectively (physically) untrained. Give him a couple years of actual appropriate physical training and then what kind of car and for how long, is an interesting question. Ultimately, if you've got the brain/reaction times/feel for driving at a high level, what percent of the population has a genetic ability to do the physical parts of it, assuming they are trained? I dunno.

The problem, of course, is that the testing for this is expensive, so it's all theoretical.
Rate of spread has nothing to do with the definition of pandemic. It took literally thousands of years for Smallpox to reach the America’s, but it achieved worldwide spread before eradication.

Malaria on the other hand has also killed hundreds of millions of people but as it’s a tropical disease with 93% of the cases occurring in Africa it’s not a pandemic.

Again person to person spread results in pandemics, making a definition based on geographic spread useful.
When discussions get to this level they automatically don't belong on HN. Please don't do this here, regardless of how wrong other people are.

I am interested in more about your situation. Do you wear corrective lenses? Have you tried reducing the backlighting on your display?
Actually, I write for NBC News mainly. I only do columns now and then for TC. Neither of those things has any bearing on me 'refusing to engage.' I really just don't care to (though I didn't want the TC allegation to go unanswered, not that anyone's listening). But I know you'll choose to believe what best advances your existing prejudice. Be my guest.
