Only for savings, which is neat but not as useful.
Thanks for the explanation, I was genuinely struggling to understand what it is they actually did based on the story... I know it's intended for a mainstream audience but at least some technical info would've been useful!
Not to be pedantic but he did say he was a pedant
On page 263 of my large-print edition of the Isaacson biography of Steve Jobs, Jobs is quoted as saying about Bill Gates, "Bill is basically unimaginative and has never invented anything, which is why I think he's more comfortable now in philanthropy than technology".

I don't know about you, but I'd rather be unimaginative than fabulously, unimaginably rich but also selfish about it.
why does automating the use of a jump host increase your attack surface?
Assets? It's literally a clone of a Nintendo product.
its unbecoming to faun over the rich. they deserve no more respect for their giving than a poor man does when he gives. and yet, CNN will never run a story exalting a walmart cashier when she gives $5 to the Salvation army, and it will never run a story exalting a short order cook when he gives $20 to the Boys and Girls Club.
Exactly. If fines are less than the profit gained, the only price is the bad publicity and that often fades away after a few news cycles. This verdict sends a message that you might as well destroy a competitor in this way because the price will be insignificant even if you're caught. There might be personal risk if an individual is charged, but they can give some flunkie the job, make sure nothing is in writing, and then blame the employee or contractor if anything goes wrong.

We really need the "death penalty" for companies: dissolve the corporation after a certain number of offenses, sell the assets off to raise money to compensate the victims.
That's not a reason for the company to stop releasing new versions of their apps forever.

If a company is willing to break the law and its contracts (which I severely doubt is happening) I don't think Apple's privacy label is going to scare them.
Have you seen the oxometer plugin for Firefox?
Tp: Uh, I think I'd rather just see the chat logs. Seems to me the Wired piece is long on unrelated attacks on Greenwald, and short on a lot of other things, like a convincing explanation of why they won't release the logs.
I worked in not one but two call-centers during a very dark time of my life. I say freaking bomb all call-centers out of existence. They create crap jobs, with crap pay, and crap benefits that steal work from better qualified people.

In the first call-center I worked in, I was doing financial support for customers. I was great at my job because I was studying finance at that time in my life. Everyone else on the 200+ team (excluding this very smart girl that came from a crappy neighborhood with crappy parents) were complete and utter retards. The place was a petri dish of fraud, bad advice, and foul phone manners.

In the second call-center I worked in two departments. The first one was sales, basically 300 kids just out of school tricking customers into promotions they did not want and hanging up on clients when they couldn't get a credit card number. I was also great at sales because I developed a system, without bullshitting the customers. I always hit the bonuses... but the rest of the department also hit them, with 500% my performance. Imagine I sold 10 units per day to hit 60 units a week (the bonus being after 50 units sold), they sold 300. Fraud to the extreme (and I know this because a close friend of mine did this... his whole team did). Lastly I did tech support. I was probably one of the few (less than 10) people that actually understood the technology. The rest of the 120 strong department where tech illiterate.

Aside, I strongly remember one agent being fired because he brought two machetes into the office building and cut (superficially, no horror story here) some dude's arm, and a 45 year old lady agent that reported 13 cases of sexual assault (the lady was hideous looking and was just looking for an easy payday) which got the 13 men fired and which ended with her resignation which included a severance pay of several thousand dollars.

They funniest side, is that at least 60% of all the agents I met, could not speak or even comprehend decent english. I thought that might be a prerequisite to do customer support/sales for english speaking customers. In comparison, I was once reprimanded for speaking french to the french speaking husband of a customer about their tech equipment.

So yeah, I say bomb all these call-centers. I don't live in the US, but I think that those sales agent jobs dealing with people in the US should be filled with US sales agents. Those tech support jobs for US customers should be filled with US college kids or recent graduates. Instead companies pay 300~400 dollars a month to a bunch of retards (I can count myself in this group, though give me a break I had been kicked out of my house so I took the first job I was offered), cheats, and thieves, so they can go ahead and make your experience on the phone a living hell.
In the sense that you can combine Cont r a objects into CPS computations over a value of type a, yes.

It's a leaky metaphor but it does reiterate the two levels of logic going on in a monad: the "boxed" value and the "box" itself.
He would have been asked if he had copies and would have been criminally liable had he lied. He's already been convicted of crimes in the past. Would you fuck around in a case like this one if you'd been in his shoes?
We don't; how do I know you aren't payed by the government to say this unless right now you disclose all of your bank account credentials so I can check? (/sarcasm)

Greenwald's piece was predicated on new information coming to light (Lamo's recent allegations) that showed there was missing details in the chat logs that were material to the case. Wired refuted this; I just looked at the logs again and their refutation makes sense to me.
No, I think a nineteen foot monitor is already taking a good thing too far.

But please post a pic of the office that fits it.
The kinds of work we've done have changed, as has the social structures in which we perform it. I'd rather see far more people being self-employed, as it was before the industrial revolution - although in more interesting jobs and with a higher standard of living.
The analogy does hold up, because it doesn't rest on the specific quibbles you brought up--namely that Google has more of a monopoly on web advertising than Google's power company has on power. It rests on the fact that a company's dependence on another company's services says nothing about which company is bigger than the other.
I've done some searching, but I haven't found any software that supports .PSB on Linux. Perhaps there's a plugin for The GIMP that would work, but I was unable to find one, sorry...

It's probably more trouble than it's worth, but you could install Wine and Photoshop on your Linux box, or find someone with a Windows machine and Photoshop who could convert the file to another format that you're able to use, like .PNG for example.
I too believe in using vanilla JavaScript in general.

That said, for the OP's purposes, if you like the look of AtScript, by all means, write it! If not, feel free not to use it or to move onto libraries that don't - every choice you make has benefits and tradeoffs, make the ones that make sense for your situation/fulfills what you want.
Depends on what you're working on and how you work...

If you have legacy code in JS to work with and/or like full fledged IDEs, you're probably better off with plain JS.

If you start new projects and are more of a TextMate/Sublime Text dev, you can have fun times with compile-to-JS languages.

I was using plain JS for years, with some hand-made frameworks, ExtJS4 and EmberJS and always used WebStorm.

When I switched to LiveScript, the IDE features didn't help me anymore and it became a slow editor for me, so I switched to Sublime Text for editing and coded some tools with GulpJS to automate the compilation.

So it's not just the languages, but their tooling and interaction with other JS-code, you have to consider, when choosing what to use :)
One of my favorites, there once was a bank called Union Bank in Pasadena. It had a big neon sign that read "UNION BANK" at the top of their building. Apparently a Caltech student was up in one of the unlocked maintenance rooms and figured out the nine giant switches correlated to the letters and changed the sign to read "ION BAN". Nihilism in its purest form.
Real talk: if someone describes themselves as conservative (in US political parlance) they are probably (not certainly, but probably) more selfish and more likely to have either factually incorrect or morally indefensible views on e.g climate change and social issues. I'd probably avoid hiring them too.

Professions which require intellect but which aren't well-remunerated are typically stacked with "liberals", yes – because smart, non-greedy people tend to be liberals. (Yes, this is an assumption for which I only have a lifetime of anecdotal evidence. No, the fact that there exist smart, non-greedy conservatives and dumb greedy liberals is not a counterargument).

(FWIW, I wasn't going to post this, as I didn't want to stir up a hornet's nest. But then I read http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2015-01-05/stiglitz-blocked-fr... and got angry again.)
That's used by the phone company to patch you into the NSA.
The Intel/Verizon OnCue project has been working on this for a few years and Aereo is planning to offer a similar service. There was some ambiguity about whether such services should be legally treated the same as cable/satellite companies, but a recent FCC rule change explicitly legalized the concept. http://www.fcc.gov/blog/tech-transitions-video-and-future
So they delegated security to a separate team, which only got to put "reinforced firewalls and IPS appliances" around an app which was still missing basic internal security checks. (And it's hard to see how firewalls could do the checks on their own, without access to the app's data stores or duplicating app logic -- either of which makes it no longer a firewall.)

Unfortunately, it's all too easy to get this kind of partial solution from a "security team" that's distinct from (and worse, sometimes hostile to) the team that actually develops the app.

it's an ASCII rogue-like, not a text-only game. You could say it's a character only game. ;)
Looks like it's back now =)
From the article >"Everyone is unique, so you should make sure each individual mailpiece is customized as much as possible. Don't be afraid to use customer data to personalize and make a statement with your mailing."

"Dont be afraid to use customer data" seems like a dangerous general recommendation to make for an article recommending using the API to send postcards that are open to the world to read. Now I can't just discard spam mail adressed to "Resident", I'll have to read it all and make sure to shred it in case it has some sensitive data automatically encoded into the postcard?
DIGG…. That was the site I couldn’t remember… Thanks.
I find `sudo killall -9 zoom` seems to work to stop this. That may be overkill but was just the first thing to occur to me. But I'll probably just sandbox it into my windows VM whenever I bother to set up passthrough on my camera.
Scrum is terrible and an abomination of what agile was supposed to be. Arbitrary sprints with perverse incentives that reduce taking riskier long term bets and prevent any sense of ownership for engineers. Works fine when you have junior engineers but competent professionals are much better served but ditching this crap.
She isn't the "average" woman. My main point is, in her circle she felt it was socially unacceptable to _adopt_ traditional gender roles.
Thanks, I think that would be ideal. Still, I think YC would facilitate this in that you don't really need to put as much effort into networking (they do it for you), so I can work on my idea in Greece while still getting introduced to interesting people.
FOAF+SSL is what you want.

People controlling their own profile and how it's used, but keeping it openly and universally accessible.

It already works in all browsers too... though it's a little ugly and the user experience should be improved a hell of a lot.
> It's clear that Linux 'won' in the marketplace

Arguable. There might be more instances of QNX and L4 running than of Linux. This is pretty much impossible to measure. Remember that Android smartphones have a second OS underneath or beside the Linux kernel.

Apple and Microsoft use a hybrid approach, so they just do not participate in the debate.

> OKL4 shipments exceeded 1.5 billion in early 2012, mostly on Qualcomm wireless modem chips. Other deployments include automotive infotainment systems.

If a country prints more money, then it makes the money it has worth less. So those with large foreign currency reserves in say, US dollars, will be worth less.

Of course, when the US dollar is worth less compared to other currencies, then there is more of an incentive to export and produce locally, rather than import.

I am not convinced of your idea. The economy doesn't always need to grow, and can not always grow. This is how we get bubbles, when things start growing too fast, and it all collapses on itself.
Never played Farmville, but I'm guessing part of the stickiness of the game was the slight but not insignificant emotional pressure of seeing "<your friend> wants you to plough him/her" or whatever the notifications Farmville sends out actually looks like. :p Without that slight pressure of seeing your friend asking you for help or collaboration or whatever, it's probably become much easier for people to not play that game.
Maybe he's getting at the idea that you need to have inspiration - in other words, you first need to have something to say, rather than to speak in order to have something to say.

I love this writer's saying: inspiration strikes he who is at the typewriter, meaning that although you cannot force inspiration, you can create conditions for it. Maybe that's what he means when Bukowski says then wait patiently.

Although my inspirations tend to come in the shower or walking in the park on a crisp autumn morning or sitting in a cafe, I do need to prepare myself - by immersing myself in the material, then asking a question of silence, instead of presuming the answer. IANAM, but I love the approach of Poincaré: It is by logic we prove, it is by intuition that we invent. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Biographies/Poin...

He also says, in agreement with Bukowski: Logic, therefore, remains barren unless fertilised by intuition.
If the market is huge then you both have enough space. Being no.2 is not that bad as it seems.
Then the maintainers of all the public and private routers between you and the host are also committing copyright infringement by caching the bits long enough to route them.
This situation makes up a good portion of an intro game theory course - the section is usually titled "games with asymmetric information", the problem is described as "the market for lemons", and the solution is described as "signaling devices", all of which are ridiculously un-Googlable terms, unfortunately.

If you want to learn more about this, check out Ken Binmore's Game Theory: A Very Short Introduction, which is pretty readable, and one of the major original books, Theory of games and economic behavior, by John Von Neumann.
when you ignore risk stupid ideas start making sense, like jumping a bus with a motorcycle. it must seem grossly unfair that the head of a corporation is wealthy if you ignore all the people who failed and the risk that person took making that company successful.
I use foxit, for generic PDF viewing, also SumatraPDF is a whole lot quick too. I've never installed Adobe Reader in over 3-4 years and haven't missed it so far.
To your mail in ballot claims, My family and many of my extended family and friends in MI used the mail in ballot process. I also noticed on social media many people posting pictures of their ballots. On Election Day, Driving around, I did not see my local pole have a line (which were longer due to social distancing) or anything like I saw in 2016. This is what makes me believe the highly concentrated Biden ballot dumps were more than suspicious, anything over 75% should be considered very carefully for fraud.
Hey everyone, let's all point and laugh at the primitive still using first-order logic rather than stochastic type theory! What does he think this is, the 1970s? Wake up, bro: a whole century has passed.

</tongue-in-cheek>
Fun fact: the core of Jetbrains IntelliJ is a very capable real, extensible open source IDE that they've released themselves.

I suspect (but I'm not sure) that the rest of their desktop products are built on top of that.
Or at least, on average.
Maybe they should send an email/SMS to notify you that email/SMS had been disabled. (And, an email/SMS to the old address when the email/SMS is changed too.)
Saying no is so important, but hard to do. So, how do you say no to the shiny objects? Well, you have to have a long term goal.

It's ok for long term goals to change, but if you don't have that guidestar, you end up haring off, and even if you finish projects, they aren't cohesive. Take it from me, I've done this (check out my blog, in my profile, if you don't believe me).

Of course, like much advice, this is much easier said than done.
If it doesn't cover the cost of food, clothing, shelter, health care, and education, then by definition the thing you're criticizing is something other than a basic income proposal.
> people (especially highly educated liberals) are not very religious

There is a growing recognition in sociology and anthropology that whatever beliefs in how to lead a good life are left after you remove facts and knowledge about the world, are equivalent to religious doctrine, even if non-deist. Most people, including highly educated liberals, have such strong beliefs.
On behalf of Usenet users everywhere, this is excellent news, and I wouldn't be surprised if Usenetters begin stuffing other useful newsgroups with crap in order to removed from Google as well.

Google's assimilation of Usenet content had promise at first but quickly turned into a dystopia and the general consensus on Usenet is that Google has been a disaster for Usenet.
This is no more a risk than normal audio you listen to doing the same.
Every ISP I used a decade or two ago had its own Usenet server.

No ISP I have used in recent years does. They have all been switched off, with the ISP citing low levels of use.

It's hard to blame them, with modern Web-based discussion forums able to do better in almost every way, but that's a lot of freely available information and insight about a lot of subjects that is being consigned to history. Maybe one of the official national libraries is at least keeping an archive of old Usenet content, though I'm not aware that any of them is (at least, not making the archive publicly available at present).
> Apply the concept the any service a person may provide, recognise that sex work is real work and you've just legalised rape.

Yo I see your point but that simply logically doesn't work. You can't get taxed for a service that you don't provide, so just set your rate to infinity.
Since I can’t get support from the company, I am posting to HN so that someone from Shitbowl sees my post and responds.

I recently got a Shitbowl and threw some coins in, planning to use them soon. However, the coins ended up at the bottom of the Shitbowl instead of the top. This is definitely a big since it violates LRU. Shitbowl has not responded so far to my complaint.
They don't cancel sound they attenuate it. For best effect using both muffs and plugs is possible. That would be the preferable solution for ear protection in noisy environment.
I don't think so? This is classic wave interference right?

I hate onions.
"And the best way to avoid communication is to have some
"culture" - which is just another way to say "collection of
rules that don't even need to be written down/spoken, since
people are aware of it". Sure, we obviously have a lot of
documentation about how things are supposed to be done,
but exactly as with any regular human culture, documentation
is kind of secondary."

This is so true - I have zero problems with context sensitivity and difficulty reading C++ if its all consistently done according to my prefered standards (which I mostly inherited from an especially well managed employer), avoiding the "bad practices" that introduce these problems like namespaces and such. Yet if I dive into some poorly organised and written code I can easily spend a whole day debugging a trivial problem - simply because the time is wasted trying to understand what is happening.

The sad truth is that the latter case is more common - its not C++'s fault though (although it could just /not/ try and provide every imaginable feature) - its more bad management than anything else. Though I can't help but wonder if that is just unavoidable for inherently difficult to manage projects like this...
Stephen Diehl hates cryptocurrency, and that's fine, but does he have an alternate payments proposal?

If not, it's poor form to say that people shouldn't be able use something that works for them.
Is there reason to believe the brain is chaotic on that level? The reason I doubt it because any stable biological system has as one of its primary tasks - if not its #1 primary task - to maintain equilibrium. Otherwise it would collapse into chaos due to the inherent imprecision of molecular phenomena. So I would be very surprised if you could stimulate a neuron - not even a neuron, but an electron inside a neuron - and cause something as complex as an idea to form. More likely it would be equilibrated away
For one security through obscurity is a thing. Depending on it as your primary "security measure" is stupid on all levels but being part of your security is not a bad thing. Before all someone could get would be your chat history. Other than police, jilted lovers, and state actors no one else gives a crap about that most likely unless you are targeted as an individual. Now by adding access to money that might be accessible via Signal adds more incentive for hackers to not try to hack something else and now make a beeline for Signal. Also it dilutes the efforts of the Signal developers efforts to make a better messaging app. Also crypto in and of itself is questionable, but one that is 85% by one entity waiting to liquidate has been questioned by many organizations as well. The people who own that will expect fair value for it and in essence become billionaires several times over if this really comes to fruition.
The major investment I’m referring to is tearing down houses and building mixed use buildings. Otherwise in most cities biking is impractical because of a lack of commercial space near residential.
Isn't your company allowing limited amount of people to work in the office especially if someone is living in a walking distance?

I understand it would be off limits if someone would need to use public transport but I can see allowing people to work from the office at least some days if they can walk/drive and it is not like too many at the same time.

You can always explain that you have important stuff to be done and it can be only done on company network because of "reasons".

I am definitely in "WFH forever" camp and I would like to buy bigger house far from the office. But I don't see why people who spend their money to live close to the office should be treated unfair.
