That is a different point.

Anyway, the land we have is limited. You literally can't cover the planet in one big forest to capture the gigatons of carbon we have released. You have to do active forest management and store the carbon somewhere stable, for example as biochar.
I think, then, that may be your best route.
I've had two orders in the last few months where one of the items was snail mailed from Hong Kong. In both cases it beat the Amazon warehouse shipping by a few days. (West Coast of US.)
I think Apple has a patent related to iOS' "snapback" scrolling and that's why Android switched to using the awkward "blue glow" scroll effect.
> Assuming they can drag around the big mass from one position to the other in a short amount of time, shouldn't the people at the remote facility be able to detect where the big mass is long before light could reveal its position?

No, the remote facility won't notice the thing moved until the gravity wave hits and that only moves at the speed of light. If it's a light year away, it'll take a year before the remote facility notices the shift.
Cute indeed, but not sure that it's the right era anymore for jelly-looking things ?
doh! I should have remembered that. So they are totally the same on PC and phone for me.
"Maybe somebody can explain this better to me -- but if you freeze up in interviews, are you also going to freeze up in developer meetings? During code reviews? When you're in the room with clients?"

No because the interview process is designed to uncover where you're weak. It's a systematic way to figure out what you DON'T know. Other situations are not (at least not overtly).

For someone with inferiority or self esteem issues, this can be a very threatening situation, and totally artificial and unlike a normal working relationship where your intellect and skills get the benefit of the doubt most of the time.

Interviews strip away that easement and raise even the slightest possibility that you might be full of shit. For most people that's easily managed by their ego but for others, not so much.

If the US wasn't breaking its own Constitution all the time, this wouldn't be even a problem. PRISM for that example breaks 4th, 5th and probably 9th Amendment. That's about a third of the Bill of Rights. Each and every NSA employee is under Oath to protect the Constitution. And then a person who tries just doing that (Snowden) is the one called traitor!

If not for things like PRISM the military and other branches of the Government wouldn't need to worry about soldiers/their employees reporting unconstitutional actions of the Government. Because it seems they break the law all the time, yes, that's a problem. The Governments problem not whistleblowers.
I mostly agree, although are Amazon warehouses in the most expensive cities? My understanding was that they were big and therefore located in spread-out suburban food-deserts poorly served by public transit, where land is cheap and available, and the zoning is lax if you're building an Amazon warehouse and "bringing jobs" but strangely prohibitive if you're thinking of building apartments.

Anyway just penciling out the math, a $15/hr wage ($31K/yr) puts you in the 12% federal tax bracket and the 4% California (for example) state tax bracket. So your take-home would be $15/hr x 2080 hrs/yr x (1 - 0.12 - 0.04) = $26.2K/yr. So at that point rent ($1K/mo = $12K/year) is a good 45% of your take-home pay, and you've got $14.2K left to pay food, utilities, transportation, and (hopefully not) healthcare. It can be done. Each thing tends to trade off with other things. For example, to avoid healthcare expenses you'll want to stay healthy, eating healthy food for example. But healthy food is expensive, and probably not located close by your shitty part of town, so you'll be either driving (expensive and to be avoided) or spending extra time on public transit, or risking a catastrophic healthcare expense by biking there (in America anyway), or just eating the regular ol' cheap food. Also, do not take on any dependents. Like I said, it can be done.
> I'll leave it to the incredibly patient programmers who can spend 3 months just learning it.

I understand, I was close to drop it.

In retrospect, I create a lot of self-inflicting problems in my journey (like I learn Rust making a programming language and hit by coincidence some of the hard stuff with Rust!) and knowing what I know now, Is clear the time running in circles was in big part that.

But, of course, is hard to see you are running in circles when you are running in circles :(
This reminds me of the "If my grandma had wheels, she would be a bike." meme.

Yes but that is irrelevant.

It is unfortunate this happened of course, proper security audits of your smart contracts is very important in cases like these.
Hey, sure, if you're making art, making something to foster a talent, or just making something because you personally want to see it exist, that feels really good and motivating! But if it's your job to build tools and products to make people's lives easier, and they don't, it's really difficult to feel good about that. It's not that a million people use it that makes it feel good (although that can certainly be a point of pride), it's the fact that you contributed something useful to society, whether it was you're idea or not, or perhaps helping others make thier ideas a reality is motivating. There are no doubt more objectively worse things that could happen in your career, but I doubt anyone sincerely wants waste their time and skill on some hair-brained product their project manager cooked up to pad their resume.
This reeks. There are a lot of good, honest, hardworking people out there without Bachelor's degrees.
> rent is close to $2500 and you get no benefits.

You can get a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment where I live in a decent low crime location for $700-$1000. There’s an Amazon wear house up the street. It’s a city >250k people.

People around here make $40k on average and still go to sports games, bars, dancing, etc.

It depends where you live.
The term is not meaninglessly broad here in the US. We use the term "abstract algebra" to describe the more general subject, usually taught in college-level courses in groups, fields, and so on. Mere 'algebra' does indeed mostly mean "solving for an unknown", although I'd argue there's an important, more general concept of 'equation' introduced. From what I've read the concept of 'variable' is tricky for a lot of kids.
It's not translated. The JS runs to create a declarative description of what the ui should look like, which is reduced to a diff representing the changes that needs to be made to the native ui. These change commands are then marshalled to native code which simply implements the changes (add this thing, move this thing, remove this thing).
So essentially they really liked the team working on Magic and are paying millions to, in a sense, employ these people?

Well, other than the obvious. I mean, it seems like I've heard several reports of this sort. How real are they? Are the proposed industrial uses part of the generic language used to justify most research, or will this one actually have near-term practical use?
I guess all modern IDEs can be considered unified at this point, but the idea is that all the tools and integrations are part of it - including the build process, typechecker, etc.

Before you would have to run all these in the background + have your IDE open (ie. Sublime Text).

Of course Sublime Text has plugins itself now too, but you get the idea.
My wife doesn't have an HN account, but I showed her this article and here's her comment...

Great article! As a behavior analyst, let me name the research-supported behavioral interventions used here - stimulus control (pairing the word "light" with the behavior), most-to-least physical prompting (forcing the paw on the light), and differential reinforcement (reward for pressing the light; no reward for not pressing the light).

At least if your passwords are in your head they will only have access to sites you entered while on that machine.

Just found out about Adioso. It knows about much more airlines (at least for the region I'm in) than say, Hipmunk, but it then asks to book each leg separately. I wonder if it's ever possible to have integrated flight booking with arbitrage.
I don't have to find counter-evidence. I just have to ask HIM to show evidence of his extraordinary claims. Arguably, by pointing out how vague his actual evidence is (and putting it in context, e.g. 'world martial arts champion' == 'successful exploiter of loopholes in an obscure Chinese kickboxing event') I'm sort of doing what you say, but the claim that Ferriss should be taken seriously until comprehensively debunked is rubbish. Who has time to wander around debunking every semi-popular crackpot on the web?

All I know is that when Ferriss's claims intersect stuff that I know about I can tell he's full of it. This doesn't raise my level of faith about anything else.
You can install as many of the highest quality routers as you like, but you can't control the devices. The devices interfere with each other because they weren't designed for or tested in an environment with thousands in the same room (and many if not most WiFi devices have crappy hardware and/or software).
Wow, impressively detailed and photographed article. If you are interested in such things, you should also follow the included link to Dan Barber's TED talk. Here's a version that doesn't automatically launch the video: http://blog.ted.com/2008/11/25/a_surprising_pa/

Also interesting that all the ducks are male. I've seen some recent commentary regarding chickens about how millions of male chicks are put to death since they can't lay eggs and there is no other market for them. Strange that ducks are the inverse. Seems like an opportunity for some enterprising duck egg farmer!

Edit: Oops, just read the section about the Moulard being a sterile hybrid. Maybe not a good plan to breed them. And wow, the comments on that page are truly excellent --- one of the best and most civil discussions on the morality of meat eating that I've seen online.

Teachers definitely have to think about scale. The number of tasks you can effectively do with 5 students is a lot larger than the number you can do with 30 students.
Agreed. If a barista can go from zero to full stack developer in six months and there’s no barrier to entry like lawyers/doctors have, salaries are going to crash. It’s only a matter of when.
I respect that Groupon has more resources available for businesses than Digg had for publishers. I still don't hear many stories about businesses BUILDING THEIR BUSINESS through Groupon.

> If it was as easy to download, install, and run native apps, we would be having the same exact conversations in regards to security and portability.

Mobile platforms have invested in restricting apps by ability. There's no such way to exert this control over web apps with current browsers.

For instance, how to you stop a page from snooping your keystrokes? At best you can disable javascript entirely.

The browser really, really, really needs to adopt the sandbox model used by the rest of the operating system for this to make any sense, and right now the browser is more of a gaping hole in your wall than a sandbox.

> The user should be allowed to do what they want, right?

You'd need to do a hell of a lot of footwork to actually enable users to make decent decisions about random code found on the internet. I don't trust anyone technical I know to do this, much less people who don't understand what's going on.
Anyone who would do something only for personal gain would make a pretty sweet market theory...
The answer to that is usually very context dependant, and on what you're measuring. As long as you use a histogram first and don't blindly calculate (say) the mean it should he obvious.

Two examples( that are slightly bigger than this but the same principles apply):

If you benchmark a std::vector at insertion, you'll see a flat graph with n tall spikes at ratios of it's reallocation amount apart, and it scales very very well. The measurements are clean.

If, however, you do the same for a linked list you get a linearly increasing graph but it's absolutely all over the place because it doesn't play nice with the memory hierarchy. The std_dev of a given value of n might be a hundred times worse than the vector.
I guess you just never get invited to stuff or have birthday wishes sent your way lol
>Is it just the salary? It is, isn't it? Just money. How depressing.

Of course it is. FAANG is just the 1980s Wall Street of our day. I can only pray that eventually people will realize how predatory and dangerous these companies are and decline to work for them. But Ivy League/Elite Uni grads only care about prestige and so as long as working there is seen as prestigious they will continue to sell their souls.

Rosa Parks broke the (unjust) law, but that doesn’t mean everyone who didn’t do the same before her is bad. Are all black people who suffered oppression up to that point wrong for not fighting for their rights? I don’t think so. That’s all I’m saying. Just because Twitter choose to follow the law regarding copyright does not mean they’re “evil”. I honestly don’t see how people are reading my comment as support of Twitter taking down Sci-Hub?

Yep, and this is why evented io is pretty much mandatory for a modern webserver (like nginx). If you need Apache you can always proxy nginx in front of it.
There seems to be some confusion on this, as the Engadget review of iOS 4.2 includes this:
You are able to utilize printers connected to other machines on your network (in OS X 10.6.5 only), but it's a slightly clunkier way to get things done.

But other reviews I've seen, including MacWorld's, seem to imply that printing to a shared printer isn't supported.

I've built printing into my iOS app, so I'm a bit desperate to determine what the status is exactly. It's so frustrating because it works fine in iOS 4.2 beta, and the difference between AirPrint-compatible printers only and supporting any printer is HUGE (obviously).
Original paper: http://www.owasp.org/images/4/43/Layer_7_DDOS.pdf (well, slide deck)

§ Summary

➊ The slowloris attacks of last year consumed all of a host's available HTTP server connections with minimal bandwidth by trickling out HTTP headers forever at a slow pace. Countermeasures were developed and applied.

➋ This exploit consumes connections similarly, but does so by trickling out data in the content section of a POST request. Countermeasures targeting slowloris are ineffective.

➌ Countermeasures for this will include HTTP request timeouts, but to support distant users operating over potentially saturated links you will have to set the timeout high enough that any well connected attacker will still be able to kill your server. (That has some extrapolation from me.)

§ Discussion

The real solution will be to not consume a process or other expensive resource until the entire POST request has been received by the server. (Expand to PUT and any other method with content in the request.)

This becomes difficult in HTTP/1.1. To really support 1.1 you have to give the request the option to reject before the content is sent. (Yes you other old farts, the client doesn't necessarily blindly send the content, but waits for your server to say "ok, the method, resource, and headers look good, send me the content".) I suppose you could force all those decisions to be made by the HTTP server, but that would be sad.
IMO, the comparison would be valid if beardguru.com was running an ad on HN (or if ABC's episode was all about beardguru.com, instead of a offhand comment by a character).

Also, most of the traffic from HN would probably stop at chrisfinke.com.
>in just 20 months. [...] the canal turned out to be too narrow and too shallow to carry most sea vessels.

So, did they spend some more months and modify it or did they just abandon it. I'm guessing the architect met with a nasty accident?
How many viewers does this show have? I'm guessing it's about 5 million. That means about 0.01% went to the site. Makes you wonder how many people go to a web site after seeing a commercial.
If revenue from congestion pricing is used for public transit, it tends to be progressive. (Also, those "on the clock" tend to be more sensitive to the high variance caused by congestion.)
Meh. This article is way too hyper focused on one tiny corner of the city. Any and all traffic proposals must consider the greater region. I-5 into the city, 405 into Bellevue, within the city, 90/520 across the lake, etc. Almost 100% of people in the greater Seattle area care a lot of about traffic. It affects us all. Only a tiny handful care about South Lake Union specifically.

The severe lack of arterials in our region is insane. The fact that there is no reasonable way to get from Ballard/Freemont to I-5 is mind boggling. Everyone loves to bitch about the gentrification of Capitol Hill/Central District. If there was more than one tiny land mass that allowed you to get across the lake it'd be less of an issue. If 520 was accessible by Freemont, Ballard, Queen Anne, and Magnolia the area that could live on the west side and commute to the east would increase by at least 8x.
That is not what we were taught when we were pledges. They must have gotten soft. You guys have it so easy now.

I am going to go out on a limb and say the number of people at Hacker News who pledged is probably small.

Someone else posted "You wouldn't call your sorority ..." but that's just not how the joke goes. Sorry. Gotta do it. I'm telling the joke. Braced for downvotes.

Yes, I know. What point are you trying to make here? curiously asked:

> is there anything that slack does you can't do with skype?

So I named some things. Mostly being not P2P. I also prefer IRC over Slack, although you do need to have some system in place for staying connected all the time or receiving logs to make it workable for everyone.

Anyway, re: your points:

> and Streak is open source?

Slack? No, but I don’t have to allow arbitrary code to run free on my computer to use it.

> I have the Mac version of Skype, where are the ads?

Maybe they’re gone. Windows certainly still has them.

> etcetera

Sure, it’s P2P. That’s a fine excuse, but it also doesn’t make Skype good.

Bahaha. My (now ex) wife pulled this on a door-to-door salesman claiming his cleaning product was non-toxic, in case the kids accidentally got into it. So she challenged him to drink some.

Apparently he drank a little. Then she told him she's "just a woman" and that I "don't allow" her to handle the money.
Also, note that, in the same breath practically, you can support true negative integer constants:

-1234

which are distinguished because there is no whitespace. You can distinguish the unary operator being applied to 1234 from a true -1234 constant.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I did not think that was possible(legal).
What's really unfortunate is that this appears to be deliberately misleading. The writer of the test is either acting maliciously or doesn't have nearly enough understanding of how Javascript works to be making such an assertion.

Sad to see this kind of silliness on HN.
You're not making any sense. They can shard the hell out of their indexes since all searches are user specific, so that's a non-issue. They can afford to throw enough hardware at the problem if their business model works out and they attract enough paying users. It's presumably not cost effective for Google to offer a super snappy search experience through gigabytes of user-specific data, which is why Gmail search sucks so badly for people like me. (Does anyone know if search is way better if you're a paying customer of Google Apps?)
He forgets one of the easiest ways of getting people's accounts:
