Hey, nice work. After years of avoiding "this web thing" :) I've recently started using Jekyll and GitHub Pages; I'm pretty happy with what I've learned and done so far, and since these are my foundations, I have to ask: Can you compare and contrast Jekyll and Cactus? Thanks!
Even most sales jobs come with a base salary. You might still be fired for not hitting targets but if you happen to have a bad run, you're not destitute.
http://www.amazon.com/Flash-Boys-Michael-Lewis/dp/0393244660 is a great high level overview on this whole issue (including brad katsuyama).
This definitely is not about money.
I still don't see why he had to do this?

He has plenty of time to inform the ICO of this issue. He contacted moonpig then let the sit on this for a year.

If he wants to be a disclosure hero, he could have at least told the ICO at the same time he told moonpig.

The issue is 100% Moonpigs fault but he chose to disclose publicly rather than use the legal route set up to deal with these kinds of issues.

The whole responsible disclosure scene needs a reboot and people need educating on the responsible way to deal with these issues. Public disclosure should be a last resort (within reason). Not even contacting the ICO before doing this is shocking to me.
Yeah, when you're looking at the core of Andromeda, you're seeing countless stars fairly close together. That galaxy is larger than ours and contains an estimated one trillion stars.

The best example of "dark" parts of the sky not being really dark is the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Ultra-Deep_Field It's pretty hard to find truly dark areas of the sky when you're looking far enough. The mind-blowing part is that almost all of those bright spots are galaxies, not stars.
oh well I expected this, thank you for your time I appreciate it.

My motive was that, if I want to handle any kind of money and generate income, I'd need to be incorporated.
I've known Tim for a while now. I have a somewhat known blog and a decent Twitter following. He asked me if I wanted a copy.

Poor mans solution here is to iterate your fast hash a number of times.

This is essentially what bcrypt does for you anyway (in a really crude sense).
Vulns are disqualified if a similar vuln was check in to an analogous crypto product within a 5 year window.
bcrypt is open source and ported to a range of operating systems. I cannot imagine getting it up and running on any system would be too difficult. It would probably be wiser to to spend the time to get bcrypt (or another standard scheme) working rather than coming up with some custom scheme which probably hasn't had the same level of thought put into it.

It certainly wasn't "designed" for geographically flexible entities such as Amazon that didn't even exist 30 years ago.

When ever a new kind of entity fits in loop holes that weren't open one technological advance earlier it has any interest to lobby politicians to keep that niche/grey-area open. That can and should be called cheating.
The client trusts a list of centralized validator servers, albeit protected by SGX, to resolve conflicts. At least according to:

In fact that’s the idea of the tax system: tax the people according to their capacity. Corporate taxes were introduced as a means to pay some money in advance in their joirney to tax the people.

That’s why in many countries the cascading of corporate tax plus dividends/savings tax is close to the marginal income tax rate of high income people.

In other words, the initial goal was to essentially tax people’s income but corporate tax was introduced as a measure to prevent some of the wealthier people from not paying any income tax at all.
I was thinking they didn't want to reveal the recent MobileCoin integration. Though looks like the Signal Server involvement with that is minimal: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/365ad3a4f821...

I haven't checked the repo more thoroughly though. They really should give a public explanation; the idea they didn't this when multiple people have asked is not believable.

> You are arguing that religious myths[0] cannot be claimed to be true or false

I'd correct this to say "You are arguing that religious myths[0] cannot be claimed to be true or false [using science]"

> It means to hold a belief that cannot be rationalized.

I think you're ignoring the possibility for people to believe things for reasons other than science. If I have a spiritual experience that leads me to believe something is true, I have reason to believe, yet I cannot prove it to others. Does that make it rational? I think it could be argued that it is, especially for the person who had the experience.

I'm okay with "myth" being used then.

Thank you for the respect you've demonstrated. I value discussions like this.
Note that she was wearing a good sized backpack. The shooter was wearing plainclothes- possibly Secret Service. It appears he was protecting something or someone important. Pence?
This is yet another aspect that makes these recent events so depressing. I don't think I've ever felt this low and ashamed as an American before. How could the government even allow such a security breach to happen?
You can look up the stats yourself.

Over the last 90 days it has gone from a global Alexa Rank of 6000, to 2400. And is apparent about 400 in the US.

In my subjective opinion that is a large amount of growth.

Probably the issue is that during wartime (and I think the Cold War counts) the object of a weapons program is to defend one’s country, whereas in the absence of any major foe the object of a weapons program is to spend money. From that standpoint the program was a spectacular success.
I'm losing hair and can't grow a beard(I can grow muscle, and testosterone is fine). So viking look isn't an option. But anything related to this research isn't hitting clinic in the next decades.

We came a long way when it comes to reprogramming cells in-vitro, and I'm sure further research will allow inducing growth on demand. However, it'd be hard to guarantee the growth won't result in cancer somewhere down the line. Unfortunately, for all of us who lose teeth the improvements in implantation technology are the only hope.

This is also pretty specific about needing more free credits than GCP provides out of the box.

This article seems to be about adding noise to queries in order to remove identifying information.

Another really nice approach is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_differential_privacy which randomises the data before it's even recorded.

A classic example is asking someone a sensitive question, like whether they use some illegal drug. To record the responses, we do the following:

- Ask the question

- Toss a coin

- If heads, toss the coin again then write down the participant's answer

- If tails, toss the coin again and write down 'yes' if it's heads or 'no' if it's tails

This way, each participant has plausible deniability, since their record has a 50% chance of coming from a coin toss, regardless of whether it's 'yes' or 'no'. Yet we can still estimate the prevalence from this dataset, by taking into account that around 1/4 of responses are fake 'yes' and around 1/4 are fake 'no'. For example, if we see 75% no and 25% yes we know there is a low prevalence of 'yes'.

Also note that we always toss the coin twice: hence a distant observer wouldn't know whether we've just written down a real or fake response.
It is legal to put money on it as a participant.

I can enter a Magic: the Gathering tournament with a $30 entry fee and 2 players where the winner gets $50. This isn't gambling since it is considered a game of skill.

It would not be legal for a spectator to put money on the result of this match since their skill is not relevant to the outcome.

Is there any evidence that these can be jammed? Jamming something direct or near-field signals is a non-trivial problem. For a quick example of the difficulties, look up police radar gun jamming - because the punchline on that is that it's basically impossible to do.
This did pique my curiosity, so I had a look at Google Ngram viewer which gave:

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=global+warming...

It looks from that like the two phrases were equally popular till 1994, when "Climate Change" suddenly took off. There was never a point where "Global Warming" was significantly more popular.

Do you know of any other places I can check this?
The article was about RFID activated guns. I'm sorry I'm responding to a lot of people at once I didn't notice that you wanted to ban all of them. That's not going to happen any time soon.

Re your last paragraph, you're massively underestimating how stupid people can be/how much they don't care.
"cracked encryption" is not the problem, after all it's their job to do it. The problem is that they use it to listen on non legitimate targets like random civilians.
I'm really not sure what "seven million years" actually refers to and it's oddly specific. Past a million years, you're talking about primates, not humans.

I see what you did there.
> and combined with #5, those options look like at-the-money call options that expire in 10 years.

Correct.

> But in this case it won't make any sense to set the option price (the amount of income to forfeit for each option) according to either strike price or stock price -- shouldn't it be set according to the difference between the two?

The difference is always $0. The option strike is the same as the current price. The option price is 40% of the current stock price/strike price.

Let's say you make $180K. You opt to put 50% into stock. So each month you will buy $7500 worth of options. On month one, the stock price is $750. The option discount is 60%, so you get your options at $300 each. You buy 25 options at a $750 strike.

So now you're down $7500. But if the stock goes up 40% to $1050, you've broken even. If you exercise your option you buy the shares at $750, sell it at $1050, and make $300 a share.

But the real advantage comes if the stock goes up say 50%. Now you can make a profit of $375 a share, so you just made a 25% gain on your initial investment. It takes a while to break even, but once you do, you have extreme leverage.

People who went stock heavy usually made more from the options than salary, at least in the 2010s.
This is super common amongst film photographers - it's a wet scan. Works wonders. Some of the fanciest "drum" scanners out there work this way exclusively.
I think the implicit idea they wanted to sell was that a certain amount of positive thoughts creates a self-reinforcing psychological condition - making the grass greener in an endless cycle. You'd think that if this was true, religions, spiritual seekers and even random people would have discovered it independently many times over, and woven it into our collective and intuitive knowledge for thousands of years. But then again, the main figure behind this theory was a management consultant.
I actually found that thread concerning.

Based on his description, I'm not seeing the "zero-knowledge" mechanism. As described, 1Password (or a hacker on their server) would still be able to associate site-to-IP.

The cryptographically generated one-time URLs he mentioned would only prevent a MITM from knowing which what's being requested. The icon server still needs to know which site's icon to send to the requester.

Additionally, it appears 1Password falls back to fetching a site's favicon if they don't have an icon. So it would seem it's only leaking this info to 1Password so that it can fetch higher quality icons.

Unless I've missed something, this sacrifices security for aesthetics.

The thread referenced: https://twitter.com/mitchchn/status/1484225379854426114

EDIT: Yeah, this is not the "zero-knowledge" service implied: https://support.1password.com/rich-icons-privacy/
Great idea. Off to get a rubberband now!
I still don't see what one has to do with the other(s). Besides, go browse through SO's unanswered questions; this is the state of things today! Simple questions, the most common variety, get answers in minutes. The complex and/or specialized questions which cannot easily be answered by a large portion of the userbase tend to languish.
The information isn't necessary for the compiler to reason about the program. The information is, in my opinion, useful for humans to reason about the program. The fact is I would reason about programs quicker if this was explicit.

There isn't any more information to consume. The information is exactly the same. It's just different, which is why I think it should look different.
> Questions that are extremely off topic, or of very low quality, may be removed at the discretion of the community and moderators.

In my experience, this is completely false, it should be reworded as "Questions that moderators like to remove on a whim".

The fact that a moderator (or group of moderators) don't find a question valuable doesn't mean that it is not valuable for the rest of the world, and this applies specifically with questions about recommendations.
When I was a postdoc at berkeley I was talking to the head of the bioengineering department who mentioned the phenomena. He had actually written a paper in which he put an appropriate set of filters in front of a particle accelerator to ensure that a statistical photon was emitted at a specific frequency (IE, it output 1 photon/sec, although only on average). Then he sat in front of the filters at looked into the accelerator.

Still one of the most audacious things I've seen, but he was a good physicist and did the math right, so he wasn't being unsafe.
>35 years of life expectancy was not reality

So? That's still the definition of life expectancy. Moreover, being able to live to 90 if everything went right doesn't mean much when you die at 20 because of a treatable illness/injury, or seeing your wife/kid die in childbirth.

While I'd agree that if he were sneaking into women's houses, snapping "candid" photos with no permission it would be one thing, but why do people entirely miss that this woman was posting all these pictures of her own feet on the internet?

Pierre Simon de Laplace was the first person to hypothesize black holes. I think he was a mathematician, although such distinctions were not so clear in the eighteenth century.
>"Of course foreigners steal your job, but maybe, if someone without contacts, money, or speaking the language steals your job, you're shit." ~ Louis C. K.

Or, you know, you're working class/poor black/unskilled laborer etc, which for a rich american or upper/middle-class it's same as "shit".

I find this argument BS. Those people, from factory workers, to cooks, to street cleaners, to miners, nurses, construction workers, farm workers, etc, do a valuable job, much more essential actually than most of "knowledge economy", in that everything would stop to a standstill without those jobs, whereas we did have an economy in the 70's even without Google and the internet.
Agreed, which is why I don't think anyone argues against, say, 192kHz/24bit on the production side. Unfortunately, I think that people look at what the studios use and interpret that as a quality signifier when it really has no use once the signal is mixed down for transmission.

Having taken quite a few cabs in DF (lived in Roma for a couple months), the uber-bashing in this thread is perplexing. Cab drivers in DF routinely don't follow rules - they often share the same license amongst multiple people, they'll lie about knowing how to get to a place and take you on a merry-go ride where they stop to ask people for directions along the way, they'll go out of the way to extend your ride intentionally and cars will be completely devoid of seatbelts. The idea that Uber is line-stepping ignores the fact that everyone is already line-stepping but at least with Uber, you get a way better product. (Granted ideally you have a set of rules that get enforced and quality control that way but this just isn't the tempo of DF).
It is said that the taxi's license plates cost up to $1 million pesos (about ~$65,000 USD) here in Mexico. What I didn't know was that that's the resale value, the price at which the government sells them is actually $1,000 USD ($15,000 pesos).

And yeah, the business is THAT good that some people are willing to pay those quantities. Before using Uber I read all those nasty stuff about the company and the rape thing, but at least here in Mexico, the drivers are very nice, the cars are 90% better than the taxis and it's cheaper.

It's not a big surprise that the taxi mafia is scared. And I think that speaks for itself.

Exactly this. In the UK we have "universal credit", which is a guaranteed payment for people out of work. In practice, claiming this can be so difficult that many must turn to food banks and private charities before they receive their payments.

Gatekeeping that is relevant because moderation's job is to prevent the system from ending up
in the failure modes that it will otherwise default to. By "the system" I mean HN as a whole: community, software, moderation, etc. Someone needs to monitor the global state of the system and intervene to nudge it when it drifts off course. Moderation is like a small feedback control mechanism to regulate that, and little else.

What determines what counts as "failure modes", "off course", "on course", etc.? That sounds vague but it is actually easy to answer. We're trying to optimize for just one thing, namely intellectual curiosity [1]. Everything follows from that. For example, since curiosity fades under repetition, we try to avoid too much repetition [2]. Similar with nastiness. Repetition plus nastiness is sort of the essence of flamewars, so those are particularly a moderation concern. And so on. Actually the fact that HN has a clear definition of what it's going for, and it's possible to derive all sorts of interesting and counterintuitive consequences from that, is my favorite thing about the job. We're not claiming that any of these rules or judgments should be universal—simply that they're necessary for the kind of site HN is trying to be.
