It is at that early in the morning. Many would probably be out getting last minute supplies for dinner before heading off to church. If not that, then sleeping or working.

The Internet's first decentralized and anonymous currency will have an impact on so many different areas though not all areas necessarily need this research.

This study will be even more useful with less Flattr vs. YouTipIt comparison and more "store of value" versus "currency" comparison (and why each classification is important). Less comparison to WoW Gold and more comparison to e-gold (and why that comparison would be important as well).
I've just recently returned from my first trip to SF. This video really made my day, and it feels so much more real now that I've actually seen most of this things.

Those of you who live in SF, you can't imagine how lucky you are! I envy you all!
Sure, it is harder to be taken seriously when even a few people see you as a crackpot.

On the other hand, if you're not telling the truth you'll never be taken seriously by anyone who matters irrespective of how many people do or do not see you as a crackpot.
I got the impression that mrkurt was implying the Grubwithus founders didn't want to fail the YC interview, not that getting into YC guaranteed Grubwithus would be successful.
There isn't anything that verifies your argument in that link, FYI
Why would you have to wait an hour? A credit card isn't instant? Isn't there some level of trust involved here?

If I worked for RedHat I would still seek to write as portable as possible just on general principle or for the sake of my own future self.

But I agree it's merely a possible reason and may not be a major one.
FWIW Lynx is not designed to be mined for profit. It's meant to turn that logic on its head and be mined only to secure the network and your investment in it. The rewards are very low and a high powered miner would waste FAR more costs on electricity than they would ever make attempting to attack it.
Having just gone back to a bagged vacuum, I genuinely wonder why people ever accepted bag-less vacuums in the first place.

Aside from the “empty the canister out and watch all fine dust float back into my house” issue, vacuum bags function as one massive filter. It’s not physically possible to build a filter into a bag less vacuum that approaches the size or capability of the vacuum bag itself.
At least in the US, spending crypto is taxed the same as selling it.

I'm saying that it's useful to not conflate the types for sequences of Unicode codepoints and and filesystem paths. Using the same type for both is likely to result in code with baked-in assumptions that for any path, there is a standard encoding that will yield a sequence of Unicode codepoints.

Pervasive code with this sort of type confusion in the wild in Python2 is why Python3 separated bytes and strings.
So: if you mention ‘machine gimmick’—errrr, ‘learning’—enough times then you get to reinterpret Kandinsky with an orchestra on Google's time.

So from now on I'm waiting for a new Therion: with machine learning, a band, an orchestra and two choirs. Let's put the advertising money to good use.
I hit this limitation recently, and although it was a bummer, it’s good to hear that a solution is being worked on

I'm waiting until the MBA gets thunderbolt and solves it's biggest problem, a lack of a fast data transfer method. Sandy Bridge CPUs and maybe maybe USB3 would be good bonuses. Otherwise I'm sticking with the Pro with gigabit ethernet and firewire 800.

If the MBA could also get a 1080p screen like the sony vaio Z does, it would get rid of the biggest reason I want to get a vaio Z.
Just another reminder that there are a lot of markets you're probably overlooking right now (and like patio11 says, they're probably female). I never would've thought the idea "barbie needs to be more sexualized with a bigger head" would be worth $500 million just to fight over,
Rude, and in many places, illegal.

I wish YC would take notes and record as much of the process as possible so they could refine their investment process and maybe look for more companies like the winners to fund. They probably do this.
The contast point of the article is so true. The light gray text on white background which is so trendy nowadays is terribly uncomfortable, especially outside in brighter light.

I really hate black on white, it has something to do with my eyes and white on black is much more comfortable. Desktop can be set, desktop browsers can be styled using userscripts or addons but mobile hardly.

So I would love to have the option to render light text on dark backgrounds independently of the page CSS on mobile browsers and I don't mean the silly Chrome invert mode that inverts the images as well.

Mobile apps would be better with this especially at night with lights off it is much more comfortable than the white background no matter how much dimming or redshifting you use. Some have dark themes but lot of them don't.
I've seen a few suggestions that the SIGINT station is Masirah Island in Oman, which isn't exactly a secret.

Taken that way, it is very strange for people to wish a long life to the king who just died.
And in case anyone thinks I'm some kind of coffee snob who's trying to justify his purchase of obscure double-cat-shit-only-harvested-on-a-full-moon-by-blind-virgins coffee beans I actually drink medium roasted Columbian, the most middle of the middle of the road when it comes to coffee.
Just ran into one at the airport.

We had a couple of bags that were slightly overweight, one by 5 lbs, one by 2 lbs. Often they will let these small overages slide, especially for high “status” frequent flyers such as moi.

This time the desk agent sentenced us to $100 per bag. With a long line of people behind us, my traveling companion became flustered and said “just pay it”.

I said “No way, it’s pure rent seeking, which they only do when they think you’ll be flustered in front of a crowd. We have an unused baggage allowance, which they could apply to an average weight. They choose to set a high enough penalty that I will seek options. In this case, let’s calmly and deliberately extract the spare fold-up duffel I always carry, shift a few items from both bags, and spend the $200 on champagne and caviar in Paris.”

This was a winning argument, and it was done.

I suppose I could carry a small luggage scale, but they are hardly accurate. Hotels, airports, rental car counters, etc., could provide more accurate ones, but they don’t usually. I usually fly with only carry-on, so it’s not in my sights.

The check-in agent went from “beleaguered jobsworth” to “chuckling co-conspirator” once I explained what was really going on here.

If someone is an insider and can explain convincingly why a slightly heavy bag places a $100 burden on the baggage handling system, I will retract.

As a pricing decision maker for a deadline driven product, we always create a ramp at the end rather than stand up a brick wall. In this case, they could have set a lower fee for the first 5 or 10 lbs over, and I would very likely have paid two $25 fees. By going straight to punitive, no way.

What do we call this practice in the context of the OP? How about “public shaming for minor infractions”? Feh.
The alternative to the US-led global order is a global order led by some Chinese-Indian-Russian alliance.

That’s definitely not a world I’d want to live in.
Agreed! Just pointing out that it doesn't release quite so easily as you might think....
Similarly Ayurveda (comes from Hindu sages) they say the opposite of what i was taught in school. I remember a nutritionist coming
in to tell us to have a heavy breakfast, medium sized lunch and light dinner.Ayurvedaa recommends the lunch meal being the heaviest as it lines up with your Agni (digestive fire) being at peak and in synchronization with the Sun reaching its highest point.
Sorry about that. I'd never jog if I had to do it indoors on a treadmill. Tried it a couple times, blech. Outdoors is so much better. Like I often stop to chat with a neighbor. Just today I found out one on my route had a hidden 57 Chevy, so I had to give him a ride in my Dodge :-)

Something I've listened to a lot, otherwise I get distracted by trying to pay attention (mostly to the lyrics). Lately, I've been listening to Girl Talk's All Day http://www.illegal-art.net/allday/ a lot, but I also like putting some NIN and Tool into the rotation as well.
I doubt it has anything to do with treatment. On average we've been able to add a whopping four months to longevity since the '70s, and even that's questionable since we have better diagnostic equipment.

You were really, really lucky.

A drop in cancer deaths is probably related to two things: a drop in smoking, and an increase in obesity that's killing people before they can get cancer.
Thanks for your input. To clarify, a lot of this material has been put together by other users - I just transformed the info in website form.

I think you're right for the most part. CC is full of kids giving each other advice and none of them really know what they're saying. To me, the SAT is table-stakes. If your scores aren't high enough, it's highly unlikely you'll get into a top school. So most of the site is about how to get to the point where you're consistently scoring 750+ -> 2250 composite. At that point, any additional gains are marginal.

After that, you're competitive score wise and you can move on. I'm 100% with you there and I think the website confirms that. The rest of your app is just as important, but you have much less flexibility in changing years of high school. You can control your essay but can't really change much else. So if you're a freshman in high school, then stretching yourself intellectually and doing interesting things is a great way to spend four years. But if you're a 2nd semester junior applying to colleges next fall, you have way less flexibility. So the guide focuses on SAT, and I want to expand on the essay stuff.

To summarize, transcript is #1, but everything else matters too. You can control your test scores + essay in a short period of time - the rest you can't. So if you have years of time, then becoming an interesting person is a great investment. If you don't, get competitive scores and a great essay, and hope for the best.
If I can choose to pay full price for a luxury mansion or pay $1 for the same mansion, of course I should pay $1. That choice is not usually available, either in real estate or in software. More likely, I'm choosing between a studio for $200k and a 4 bed for $1m (adjust for regional house prices), or a cheap fixer-upper vs an expensive new-build.

The point of the debt analogy isn't to think about which parties are involved in the transaction; it's to think about the various kinds of costs involved in a decision, and the timescales over which they are paid.

From that point of view, if I can't afford the $800 hedge maintenance, then I shouldn't buy the mansion, even for $1. The strict analogy with debt breaks down a bit because I'm not paying you the $800, but it's still an ongoing cost I have to bear.

Edit to clarify, I'm still not saying debt is always bad. If I enjoy DIY and expect to have spare time, the cheap fixer-upper might be a great investment.
Of course I know (I'm a mathematician, I'm the one who cringes at all that). The abuse doesn't stop there though... :(
20% in 37 states are food insecure, which apparently is some new term to do with nutritional requirements, I assume that means they are eating junk food. Pretending children are starving in the US makes India look better but is dishonest.
The walls are coming down so fast it's making my head spin - job well done!

I immediately sent the link to a dozen people, about half wrote back "How much is it?" and "How do I download it?"

Since QuestVisual.com is clearly going to sweep the entirety of the internets by this time next week a few friendly conversion suggestions:

It's easy to feel down when reading the news, but then something like this comes along and... the future's going to be so cool! :)

I don't care if it even only works 20% of the time right now. The rest is elbow grease and faster hardware - it'll get there.

It's not every day that you consciously realize - hey, the world just changed today (for the better!).
They are certainly the "wrong" immigrants if you don't want immigrants that will vote for Democrats.

I'm not sure what your point is in arguing that all Americans are equally American, whatever that means.
LAPD shot a man named CJ Montano in the head with a 40mm foam round. He was standing with his hands up in the middle of the road when they shot him.

> How was every person leaving the building not searched by police as a condition of exit?

The same reason they weren't searched on the way in. It was a security failure.
Are you an inveterate liar or just that wildly uninformed? Democrats non-stop have called the 2016 election “stolen”, just like they called the 2000 election “stolen”. In 2019, Hillary Clinton called Trump an “illegitimate president” and accused him of stealing the election. Maybe try getting out of your echo chamber and you’d know these things.

Not to mention, do you know how many Democrats objected during the Congressional electoral college and certification session for Donald Trump? No, of course you don’t, because you’re spoonfed biased talking points and aren’t even interested in knowing the whole story. I bet you won’t even look it up because you don’t want to know the truth that Democratic congressional reps also tried to object to Trump’s presidential certification.

Instead, here you are trying use your childish sense of moral superiority to suppress freedom of expression. Maybe if you clutch your pearls even more strongly next time, I’ll feel the “shame” you think I should feel.
Also, as you may be aware, stolen emails have been able to be verified in the past. For one, you can ask the people implicated if they are real and look for contradictions between their stories or confirmations. You can check physical evidence if any exists. There are many things you can do.

EDIT: My previous response, I misread your meaning at first.

I don't care if they get prosecuted. They should be, they attempted a coup against the democracy. However, as I said, what do I care if they destroy each other? Pelosi is a villain that promotes the desires of the rich over the lives of the people numbering in the hundreds of thousands at this point. Being attacked by someone worse doesn't make her into someone that needs defending.
Occam's actual razor is Numquam ponenda est pluralitas sine necessitate ("Never posit plurality without necessity").
That's how it is usually expressed, yes.
My point isn't that people should "accept their fate", just that they should be more realistic about how bad things really are. If you start treating minor setbacks as gigantic issues, you start having overreactions that might just make things even worse.
These comments are better for Reddit. HN is not yet a political platform
Agreed.

Unwavering the weave takes some care if you want to do it right ... do it wrong and I suspect you get even more opposition / problems.

> "White" isn't a racial group.

I understand the academic underpinnings of that idea, but that's not how normal people understand the term "white." The Bureau of the Census, for example, certainly appears the believe that "white" reflects a racial category: https://www.census.gov/topics/population/race/about.html.
A number of treatises cover mounted fencing, including the "core" Liechtenauer's verses and Fiore:

The guns stored in homes as part of military service, are stored without ammunition. While CH does have a relatively high amount of guns per capita (~27), it pales in comparison to the United States (~120). Is the US 4X safer than Switzerland, or might there be other factors that account more for the low crime rates in Switzerland?
I'm not saying anything for or against AWS or GCP. All I'm saying is most startups experience with AWS won't begin with "Send email to dedicated YC email address" so it's hard to draw conclusions from this article about what AWS support is like for "regular" start ups.
I agree it’s better than nothing. I guess the problem lies with OWASP (as far as I’m aware) being volunteer created content and there are no economic incentives for those individuals to keep it up to date after initial publishing.
This was really a point of contention? I mean really? Theres nothing else to fix, worry about, solve, cure or anything? How many people truly felt offended? I want to know. And I mean truly offended. I get by just fine getting called a stupid pollock or stupid jew often. So I want to know your scale of offense. Because if that's the case, the word moist is going to be on the chopping block too since some people are all freaked out from that too. Which is dumb too.

There's an interesting interview of Rod Serling (the Twilight Zone writer and presenter) where he talks about censorship. He brings up an episode of Lassie where they very tastefully (his words) did an episode of Lassie having puppies. He mentions it was done in such a way that made it easy for him to talk to his kids about birth and he had nothing but praise for the show creators for being careful about not being graphic about it, etc. I mean, its Lassie for fucks sake. It was a pretty damn wholesome show.

Well, the network got hundreds of letters all claiming it was pornographic and the network was sick for showing it. Thus, the network never showed it again. Apparently all of the letters were in the same handwriting and stamped from the same post office.

At a certain point, we need to realize a very small handful of jackasses are causing a stir. The small secondary group just sees an opportunity to gain some cheap attention. Just like a serial killer with some copy cat killers.

Next up, since the Brits have some sick and severe speech laws, they're going to make this lunacy punishable. Lost your empire, now you cats are losing your damn minds.
Yeah, he is reiterating the same format for the 100s time. Being openminded my ass.. Well then bring on a proponent of left-wing politics and so on. Lets talk capitalism critical for once, shall we? No, ofc not. Because he's cashing in on the edge-lords, or himself an "intellectual" deep webster.

Gladly, he isn't still Sam Harris (although the "love" and "beauty" is getting annoying too) or Rogan (lol). There are really interesting episodes, and I overall like the naive questions sometimes.

I think The After-On will restart soon and takes the spot filled by Lex right now.
That's not a big mystery. Rather a Nebelkerze. The NYT wrote this about the murder, at https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/us/brian-sicknick-police-...:

> Law enforcement officials initially said Mr. Sicknick was struck with a fire extinguisher, but weeks later, police sources and investigators were at odds over whether he was hit. Medical experts have said he did not die of blunt force trauma, according to one law enforcement official. “He returned to his division office and collapsed,” the Capitol Police said in the statement. “He was taken to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.”

As horrible as that is, uncertainty of how it happened is to be expected in such a chaos.

More interesting: Why weren't the officials on the radio, why are there videos out there of police letting rioters in directly in front of the capitol, why was there no support, why wasn't the intelligence about the impending terrorist attack shared? Was an armed response even considered?

The corruption is completely obvious and evident, only incompetence can explain parts of it away. The article shines a light on what happened that day and covers those thoughts, that makes it interesting.
Turbo Tax has a limit on number of trades. And takes a long time to process them. Are they sleep'ing a lot or does it really take a minute for 100 trades?

I'm wondering if this can be improved. Especially for cryptocurrency processing. The cryptocurrency tax solutions are woefully inadequate. I was surprised considering how much marketing and polish they have.
Do their tools not support json5? That seems like an omission to me, if so.
That type of visualization is more literary than scientific. All Turing complete languages are formally equivalent. Java and J. Haskell and Brainfuck. Common Lisp and C. The differences are arbitrary. Clojure was designed based on experience with Common Lisp, C++, and Java.

Under every programming language is the Vonn Neuman architecture. Programming languages are abstractions on top. To the machine, it's all the same: only machine code. A taxonomy of programming languages will contain more baseless assumptions in proportion to the number of languages it covers. SQL was cut from the whole cloth of mathematics. COBOL was the product of a committee. C followed B. C++ was something else. And then there's Perl 6.

The reason there are not good diagrams is it's not a particularly useful exercise for describing facts. It's art, mythology, ideology, opinion...all fine things in their place. Often entertaining. But not sound scholarship.

Good luck.
If you need someone with you for you to succeed, sounds like they should have the same % as you.
I really do wonder if there will ever be even a semi-official emacs repository on github. I suspect not, but think it would be interesting to see if people contributed to emacs using PRs.

The "idle' phase is part of picking people up. It's not like Uber drivers get paged while their sleeping at home to come pick people up. There is a clear 'on the lock' vs 'off the clock' situation which Uber already tracks.
I considered doing this myself, but I read the biggest challenge is making sure your emails are not considered spam.

Your private ip might be part of a larger network where your fellow "VPS" users might be considered spam.

How do you ensure your emails won't go into the spam box because you host your own box?

As opposed to gmail or mailgun building the relationships to ensure mail from them is not categorized into spam.
Isn't that bubble logic?
My advice, if you want it: try and make the thing you want to make. If you get absolutely stuck, read more to find the solution.

Otherwise, finish that thing, then think about what could have gone better with that thing. Research ways to do those things better. Make the next thing.

Repeat.

(Not theory - this is how I'm approaching learning a fairly major new discipline to me right now. It seems to be working OK.)
It's sad how many companies miss the mark on this. Saw a company that had "great work life balance" but expected you to work 9.5 hour days as the norm.
