I did a lot of searching through the Ashley Madison dump back when it came out. It was pretty easy to find people living on my neighborhood that had accounts. They might not have done anything (it was just billing details after all) but any of that information could have easily been used to blackmail someone. There were also a whole bunch of people using .gov or .mil email addresses. Like if you are going to cheat on your wife, don't make it that easy for someone to realize that you can be exploited for government secrets.
It's a cool hypothesis of yours, that it's just a discipline issue. Unfortunately your typical lifestyle of a slacker you described was not my life, and I still struggled intensely, daily, with procrastination and getting things done and paying attention. I'm intelligent, had a good upbringing with strong study disciplines instilled in me, as well as a joy for learning and working. I want to be a fantastic worker and be highly productive, but despite all the advantages in life I have had, without meds my adult life is just barely staying afloat.

With ADHD meds, I'm suddenly performing like all my potential and desires suggests I should be.
It is very convenient for your friends/family to be able to get your phone number from your facebook profile.

I have used it a few times to contact people for whom immediate contact was preferable to facebook post/message.
My single biggest beef about PG is the lack of query planner hints.

Unplanned query plan changes as data distribution shifts can and does cause queries to perform orders of magnitude worse. Queries that used to execute in milliseconds can start taking minutes without warning.

Even the ability to freeze query plans would be useful, independent of query hints. In practice, I've used CTEs to force query evaluation order. I've considered implementing a query interceptor which converts comments into before/after per-connection settings tweaks, like turning off sequential scan (a big culprit for performance regressions, when PG decides to do a sequential scan of a big table rather than believe an inner join is actually sparse and will be a more effective filter).
I think you're confusing the author of the book with the author of this article. The whole "hasn’t been told before" hyperbole is only found within the article. The book doesn't make that claim at all.
Consider God as not a being but the infinite consciousness that pervades every particle/subparticle. Considering God as a finite (great) being who sits somewhere high in the space and runs the show on Earth is limiting the supreme being.

Upanishads states that God exists in each one of us as the pure consciousness that experiences the three states – waking, dreaming and sleeping. The mind with ego (I-ness) is the veil that has made us blind to experience this consciousness (experiencing consciousness by consciousness is possible as stated by wise men but describing that experience in words isn't possible because words are objects of mind and consciousness is beyond mind.)
How do you distinguish condescending/arguing from discussing/learning?
I worked on a project where I used ~20kHz tones to transmit data between devices. I also got headaches.
>> I think your argument is weakened by the fact that H1B holders pay the same taxes as US citizens. It does stand when it comes to outsourcing, though.

Except they are paying essentially to come here and work, where as citizen tax payers should be paying to help enrich the place they live in and reap the benefits of paying taxes. The fact that they both pay isn't the point, it's what you are paying for.

>>Do you have evidence for that claim? Research seems to point otherwise

The only evidence I have is what the companies I have worked for pay people, it's a very limited sample size but its from more than 1 company.
Classic/Rosetta were dropped during the moves to x86 and 64-bit. Given that almost all software was upgraded I can see why Apple didn't think the effort was worth it. And for all we know it could've been technically impossible.
Any plans to support bidirectional text?
An encrypted flash drive is probably better than security through inconvenience or unreliability.
I am like the author. Natively, I just use Google Chrome, iTerm2, and Android Studio. Otherwise, I don't really do anything else (well, I do a lot from the CLI, thanks homebrew). It's an amazing experience though. No complaints.

I will say my 2009 MBP core 2 duo with an HDD is slow and painful to use, but I upgraded to the top of the line in 2014 and I'm very happy. It doesn't really surprise me. I mean, come on. What computer is he using? If he bought a new one I'm sure there would be no problems. If you can't afford it, you probably shouldn't be buying Apple anyway. It's like a poor person complaining that skiing is too expensive. Duh.
If one honest hardworking person is living in poverty and one honest hardworking person is a billionare, then I do have a problem with it. I'm greedy myself, does that make it wrong of me to want to change the system?
Really cool feature - the adaptive cruise control feature is now becoming an option on more mainstream cars, and it is one of those "how did I ever drive in traffic without this feature" things. I think many people don't get how incredible that feature alone is - it isn't fully autonomous, but it makes driving in serious traffic so much less stressful. Add in Tesla's auto lane change and lane keep and you're 80% of the way to self driving.
Yes, we do. HTTPS has the benefit of some confidentiallity, meaning only the hostname is visible to an eavesdropper (eg your friendly government).
If it makes you feel better, christmas trees seem to have been a pagan tradition, and have no connection to anything biblical. The gift giving and santa are pretty non biblical too.
It would be really handy if C++ supported both its existing typedef behavior (aliasing) and the Pascal kind (distinct copy). I wonder if any other strongly typed languages (e.g. Haskell) support both kinds of behavior.
From the documentation where you can find plenty of docs and tutorials: http://docs.jquery.com/Main_Page
I could potentially help you, I run a boutique mobile dev company http://www.mokriya.com, but our rates aren't comparable to outsourcing firms, since we are based in US. My contact info is in my profile, if you want to contact.

I think the secret to success with getting outsourced work done properly is constant communication. Make them upload the work weekly to a github account. If you engage someone and he/she hasn't produced anything for more than 2 to 3 weeks, he is unlikely to produce anything in the future.
Am I correct in assuming that any language with support for overloading functions for new types, instead of extending existing types with new members/methods, would have a solution to such issues? This would then also cover:

* anything CLOS-inspired: Common Lisp, Dylan, Factor, Clojure

* but also presumably anything with C++- or Clay-like (http://tachyon.in/clay/) generic programming, namely w.r.t generically using freely-overloadable functions. I believe Haskell achieves something similar to this using type classes.
"We were looking for a standard by which a startup like ours could tackle a side project."
- Thanks for the clarification.
One advantage of videos is the emotional component. It seems like students do enjoy videos over whatever text the instructors provide.

Another advantage is the subtle leakage of the instructor's opinions and thought processes. At least I perceive video to be slightly better in this regard.
A lot of us find Yoda conditions easier to read:

if(0 == very_long_function_name_here(param1, param2)) {

Tells me a lot after I've read a little of the line, whereas:

if(very_long_function_name_here(param1, param2) == 0) {

Makes the == 0 part easy to miss, and buried behind a lot of clutter.
This quote from the article made me think immediately of the 'motion trackers' as used in the Aliens films, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yNOT6lWedA

"The radars work like finely tuned motion detectors, using radio waves to zero in on movements as slight as human breathing from a distance of more than 50 feet. They can detect whether anyone is inside of a house, where they are and whether they are moving."
Their other project, jacuzzi on the Mont Blanc (highest summit of the alps) is equally crazy: http://jaccuzzi.ch/index_e.html

>low error tolerance

In a sense, it's not too terribly low; the end result here was that the plane took off outside of the correct flight envelope but well within a safe and controllable envelope (given a loading difference that - back of the napkin calculation - is 2% of its dry weight).

But AAIB pursues this sort of thing aggressively, under the principle of "Don't assume everything is safe because the O-rings didn't fail if the O-rings are showing not-understood ablation."
I’m feeling uneasy because I know there’s a whole generation of “one-person” shops which run these important websites. I hope they have a transition plan in place for the inevitable.
If its anything like they did with the URL bar, it will be in about config for the next release, and then gone the release after that.
Last I checked, they were in downtown Oakland and you could just knock on the door.
Imagine 50 years from today, how will we look back on the 2020s?

How culture, free speech, and big tech are intertwined may be the most significant. Covid and Trump will just be quaint "when I was your age" stories by comparison.

The decisions we make today about how we communicate with each other, how the channels of communication are controlled, and standards of behavior (for enforcers as well as transgressors) will have the real lasting impact.
A potentially malicious third-party selling your financial transaction history is not the best choice... by far.
Steve Jobs admits to taking LSD.

I rest my case.
Why would it put him out of business? Is there no way to clean everything up and get back into compliance? There have got to be PCI compliance strike team consulting companies that you can hire to come in and rapidly fix the problem.
Well, the banks do this as a part of business, knowing the US will bail them out when their insider trading house of cards crash down.

Flood insurance for a house purchase is very different from a afterthought utility bill that, really, you have no "choice" on procuring.
Whatever they pay teachers, it isn't close to enough. The amount of trouble they have to deal with is insane. In addition they are probably one of the more important jobs in the United States. Their working days are usually 12 hours long and those are FULL work hours. They rarely get a break longer than 15 minutes.

The amount of stress teachers undergo is another thing again. They are under constant close scrutiny from administrators and have to deal with witnessing abused, neglected, and starving children come through their classroom. They have mentally ill, nearly blind, deaf, sick, and exhausted children with no hope of health care. They are designated reporters for CPS and spend time reporting these issues and seeing nothing of substance come of it. They are often named in lawsuits against the school as well.

Unless you teach in an affluent area, teachers are first hand witnesses to the abject poverty and evil underbelly of our country and how it affects children. They are constant targets of legislators and districts with almost no autonomy and often blamed for things completely out of their control.
The No Name brand is one of my favorite parts of visiting Canada. Excessive branding and flashy packaging gets on my nerves
That Ron Swanson quote should be every CAB's official chant.
In my head when I tell a client that a project/job is X hours it means that that is the market value in hours for that project.

There is an old Italian story - I'm sure it's common in other places - about a TV repairman that goes to fix a TV at someone's house. He looks at the TV and tells the owner: "It's going to be 100$ to fix it". The owner agrees. The repairman walks up to the TV, hits it with his fist and the TV starts working again. The owner complains: "What? A 100 bucks to hit the TV with your fist?" and the handyman: "Yeah, because I knew where to hit it!".

The idea is, say that you are a 10X performer: you have two options in front of you. Option one: you charge 1200$ for ten hours of work - this will make clients happy, even if you are only working an hour. Option two: you charge 1200$ for an hour of work: none is going to hire you because there are people that are only charging 120$ an hour.

The funny thing is: even if the math always ends up the same - 1200$ - people will almost always choose the 120$ an hour because in their heads they are getting the best deal.

Back to the topic at hand: if I say that a job is 10 hours at 120$ per hour I don't want to be monitored because trust doesn't enter into it. It's a simple matter of what's the worth of the job. If you don't think the job is worth 1200$ no amount of monitoring will fix it; if you think the job is worth 1200$ then if I do it in two minutes or 10 hours should not be an issue.

The Speed-Cost-Quality triangle is lost in translation the moment the invoice hits the printer.

I don't have much telescope experience, but I flipped one just so I could see Neowise and the big takeaway for me was that, possibly more important than the telescope is the stand. If the stand is unstable or hard to adjust, you will not be happy with your experience. Ideally, the controls to move the scope will have very fine-grained tuning abilities, with very little wobble or difficulty in adjustment.
I don't understand needing a room for yourself before puberty strikes. Even then, sharing the room with a same-gender sibling doesn't sound too bad.
It's funny because these same people go to college and share their dorm room for the 1st 2 years of university, when someone needs the most amount of privacy.

> correlation between sharing your room and poverty levels

In India, unless you are super rich, having a room to yourself is pretty rare. This becomes especially true because the richest people want to stay in the biggest cities, where the ratio of housing/income outpaces places like SF and NYC.

The priority for bedrooms usually goes as follows:

Parents -> Grand parents -> Guests -> Kids/Servants

Only-childs in a wealthy-ish nuclear family are the only ones who get a room all to 1 person.
Whatever you get - get a solar filter. They're not expensive.

You can then see sunspots and can watch eclipses unfold.
What replaces Fry's? We still have a MicroCenter that overlaps many functions. And it is very crowded on weekends with covid restricted capacities.

Last time Radio Shack reopened it was mainly a cellphone dealer.

Best Buy, Targets and Walmarts are limited home electronics stores.
Epic's management is one of a kind; they made amazing game that millions of people love and play which makes them billions then they want to compete with Steam on digital video game marketplace in a way that they bribe devs for exclusive release on Epic Store then they got in fight with Apple over App Store fees and got their game kicked out of the store. I mean one hell of a ride. They grew some big balls in the last couple of years.
Sorry, but this comment is a bit of an ad hominem. I am an old member of the HN community, and pretty in tune with the startup community (been to one before my current job)

Lets just say that my day to day job has nothing to do with me posting this. At the end of the day I am just an engineer as most people in here.
It's worth noting that the M1 does not use EFI like Intel Macs do, so the kernel would still need to boot on this proprietary new mechanism. Apple previously indicated that the M1 Macs boot using a derivative of the iPhone/iPad boot procedure. There's a reasonable chance it'll still have something like the EFI buffer allocation mechanism, but it'll not be using a mainline standard. While it sucks that Apple ditched EFI, the good news is that it's probably reasonably well understood since Linux has already been booted on an iPhone 7 using Checkra1n [1] (and apparently with framebuffer support too!).

Does this glassdoor post apply to engineering/creative roles too? I don't think that destroying morale is productive, but I could at least understand what they were trying to do if this only applies to their warehouse/fulfillment/etc operations: if you don't stuff enough envelopes fast enough, or encode and annotate movies fast enough, or deal with customer service calls efficiently enough, it can make sense to replace you with someone who does.
An overview of full-text search options, comparing Google's offers, WebSolr and IndexTank.
It feels like the author of this is an corporate lifer who isn't comfortable with being actually responsible for product performance, or without being able to shelter behind hide-bound processes.

Some process is needed, sure, but large companies are far more likely to be held back by overly rigid processes and lack of agility than lack of process. If anything, this makes me more impressed with Netflix, that they've managed to maintain a more startup-like culture despite being a huge company.

It's not for all employees, sure, and it's absolutely within this guy's rights to find a position more comfortable for him. But after reading this I'm even more inclined to invest in Netflix. Once a company solidifies its processes and acquires parasitic employees, it's well past middle age and is unlikely to do anything remarkable.
http://www.woodlandssolutions.com/images/Woodlands%20Solutio... they've put up a new logo.

The article doesn't appear to go far enough in determining the actual creator of the logo nor if anything [legally] wrong has actually taken place.

It comes down to "is there a problem with using free-libre designs in 99designs submissions"?

From what I see the original designer used their design for crowdSpring and won. Fine. They sold/gave the same design to Vecteezy. Fine. Someone downloaded the design from there. Fine if licensed¹. And used it in a 99designs submission. Which seems like it should be fine I don't know 99designs terms without looking.

¹ Vecteezy are not "free vector art" as the designs present are given without notice of rights to use them, one has to contact the uploader (creativemyk in this case) to ascertain if rights can be had.
If you already use keynote, I'd recommend at least checking out keynotekungfu.com. It's a tool kit for wireframing in keynote. It's not quite as easy to use as gomockingbird.com but it has more customization. I don't like how gomockingbird doesn't even allow for formatting of text. KeynoteKungFu is only $12 so it's not too expensive to test out.
A friend of mine in college challenged his "wrong wheels to curb" ticket and got it summarily dismissed because the officer didn't want to bother.
A 5% increase pushed what appear to be a raft of firesales?

Maybe there is something else happening inside this incubator that nobody is telling?
My ex-main server has ZIP, JAZ and DAT all on the front panel.
You mean with server rendered HTML?

IMHO the component abstraction provided by something like react leads to much cleaner separation of concerns, better boundaries between parts of the system, and easier to change/understand code.
The fact that isolated groups of Buddhist monks haven't yet managed interdimensional space travel more or less drops the plausibility of your suggestion to zero.

One can posit literally any absurd hypothetical scenario. About all yours has going for it is that it parses as syntactically valid English.
Yes, there are JIT compilers, see (not just first answer):
http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/29344/jit-com...

I'm not sure why these solutions have not caught on yet (seemingly). Performance? Code complexity (i.e. invalidated pointers from recompile)?
See the 1996 Telecom Act. It explicitly laid out the classifications the FCC can use: telecom, broadcast, cable and information service.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_Act_of_199...

Per the courts, the FCC does not have the authority to create a new classification, only Congress can do that. The FCC must apply one of the classifications to ISPs and regulate them according to that classification per the 1996 act. The FCC currently classifies ISPs as information services, and information services can discriminate because they offer a service that requires a greater level of control in order to function.

Also see the court case where the FCC attempted to apply special regulations to the ISPs, and the courts shot the FCC's special regulations down:

That will be less of an issue going forward with free OS updates. Then it will just be people who don't want to upgrade for whatever reason that stay behind.
She probably had closed the file before the "o crap". Undo does no good there.
So, what is your better alternative then? I honestly believe using version available at that date is better than using the latest version.
When they say “computer”, they don’t mean a laptop. They mean a cycling computer, a little gizmo that tracks your speed, distance, pedaling cadence, grade, climbing distance, and maybe heart rate. In the cycling world these days, if you didn’t log the ride, you didn’t do the ride :)
Just as a workaround: you can stop the app without rebooting the phone. The full app list is probably not accessible, but you can go via the ‘apps’ menu in the settings.
Signal simply is not going to be the app for you as you want austerity, and they believe austerity impedes adoption of private chat.
Google was born Google and created Alphabet as a holding entity for subsequent acquisitions.

Mozilla created Firefox.

It’s like if Google decided to rebrand Google Maps to Chrome Maps if Chrome ended up having better brand recognition.
I think wyager's point is that you can extract individual Fibonacci numbers from fibs rather than realizing the infinite list immediately.
All sorts of people use UberX and Uber Pool, actually.

Uber Pool is no longer available due to covid; but hopefully it will come back as vaccination rates go up.
Understand my message: "I try to". I steal 50 books from some Deep Repository in Russia and try to read them all. Takes about an hour if they all suck.

And sometimes it becomes very expensive, recently I bought the whole catalog of one Swedish author from Amazon, because this cunning brat had uploaded only first books of his various trilogies to Pirate Bay.
Wait until r/wsb find a way to bet on this!
Initially only 90 meter resolution was made public and some time later 30 meter resolution was available. I think maybe even higher resolution is still classified but can’t remember.

Was shocked we still use 20 year old elevation data extensively.
What is telling here is that you're no longer arguing on the basis of the governor's conservatism, or trends in conservative politics -- but that was the whole substance of your initial reply to me.

Furthermore, your newly-found claim that Texas' infrastructure was criticized from within...

You are not being truthful, here. Consider the comment of mine that you first replied to, where I wrote:

...the national winterization standards are neither stricter than those of Texas nor strict enough to address the events of recent days.
I hate these sorts of "outreach to young people" PR events. They not only reveal how totally out of touch and insincere politicians are with respect to youth issues, but also how scatter-brained and incoherent young people are. Seriously, trying to follow the thought process of this "article" while being beaten in the face with rich media was physically painful.
