I love the atmosphere and the originality, but you shouldn't go into the cycle expecting action - it's like expecting action from Blade Runner. The first book takes 100 or 200 pages to describe the events of a single day. Some character introductions are breathtaking though, I was particularly impressed by the hothouse. Some episodes and creatures are amazingly creepy.
Ticketmaster bought them in 2018 as the first part of the settlement.
"General purpose computing" is not something most users need or want. Whitelisting is an easy, effective way to improve your security posture w.r.t. a given device. Therefore, expect whitelisting platforms to dominate in thr coming decades.
Everybody is happy!
Creating new time zones split north/south is a possible solution here. I would prefer that to any option that involves changing the clocks twice a year.
If BP truly carries out this out, it sounds like good news to me.
This was inevitable, this isn't going to be the aberration, this will be the norm. There will be no laughing, there will be other governments thinking 'why aren't we doing that'. There will be the Daily Mails declaring a breakdown in law because of our failure to legislate. (The Daily Mail being the popular conservative newspaper in the UK, substitute with your regional equivalent).

Censorship to TV, to Movies, to CDs, to all forms of media has long happened because most societies, irrespective of our personal beliefs as hackers, libertarians, free thinkers, believe there are lines that should not be crossed.

To lambast the list itself is purely pedantic, to despairingly declare 'why a dental surgery?' without speculating that it had probably been hacked and was hosting something distasteful is pathetic. We know exactly how vulnerable the web is, we know how many sites get hacked like that all the time. How easy it is to hide stuff.

Did we all seriously believe the wild west of the web would continue as it has?

My honest assessment is that we have been living in a censor less utopia only because the web was initially too small and minor and too hard to understand for legislature. Everything was moving too fast. The microscope is finally turning to it and the Iceland's will be the minority, not the majority.

And ultimately, for purely tax receipts and business reasons, those lines that can't be crossed will include copyright violations.

I mean look at the quote in the piece "Nobody likes it," says Scott Ludlam, a senator from the Australian Greens Party.

The Green Party? That's the best they could come up with? If you are being truly objective, that's almost as bad as quoting the BNP saying that no-one likes immigration or the KKK saying no-one likes blacks. Yes, I'm exaggerating, but Greens are pretty far on the left-wing of politics.
I was wondering how they were going to improve on the first game, but the clearly up'd the ante. The longer gameplay video had some very amazing looking puzzles with the different liquids (propulsion and repulsion)
> There are huge ranges of jobs that a humanities degree qualifies you for that you can't get without one--- even a bunch of stuff that's unrelated to the degree, like HR or various secretarial jobs.

I think that's exactly the problem. Why should that degree qualify you? It's unrelated! That's what the article and some of the comments are trying to point out: we shouldn't have careers where the college degree is treated like a checkbox instead of being a relevant indicator of your ability in the field in question. What does close examination of Chaucer or Shakespeare have to do with being a secretary? Why would someone who doesn't have a degree in Comparitive Literature make a worse secretary than someone who does? The answer is that it shouldn't.
Although technically laser light does have a spectrum due to Doppler effects, etc.
If your job pays you say $50/hour to work, but you have to spend one additional hour each month implementing this system (figuring out what to buy, where, when, managing coupons, gaming the system, etc.) that right there costs you $50 in opportunity time, cancelling out some of the supposed savings. The problem gets worse if it takes you multiple hours per month, or your wage is even higher.

In short, I think the whole extreme min-maxing effort makes the most sense if you have a very low income job and the most important thing to minimize is your dollar outgo rate. Most professional programmers should not have to do this.
I doubt it. Australia has an implied freedom of political communication (per the Lange and Coleman v Power cases). This law is on shaky legal ground already. Blocking entire sites will make it more likely that the law will be struck down.

It would also be more politically risky.

No doubt they could try - it's technically possible - but I think they wouldn't.

I agree that the fact that this law could be abused in such a way is a compelling objection to it.
Thanks, but that's only half the problem.
> the R&D phase includes work that _is_ as glamorous as it sounds

Could you elaborate on the type of work that goes on? How does one get to such interesting work? Does it typically involve minimally a PhD? (Asking as someone just beginning their career.)
First, it's important to note that we will continue to KYC users when they trade directly with us as the counterparty (this is our old model and we have to KYC in this case). When it comes to DEX trading, it means we are not part of the trade; we are not a custodian, a counterparty, or an intermediary of any kind. Thus, we are not regulated in that case because we are not engaged in a regulated activity and are in full compliance with regulatory guidelines.
With Gotalk, you can use the byte-buffer request and response functionality (instead of the JSON-encoding versions) and e.g. dec.XORKeyStream(inbuf, payload) in your handler when receiving a payload followed by enc.XORKeyStream(payload, outbuf) when responding.
I don't quite understand how the government thinks this will go. How do they think they are going to prevent encryption?

Also, does anyone else realize that they are essentially expecting to have no limitations? They want to, not only be able to essentially have access to your person at any time ... which is understandable to a certain extent ... under authority of a legal and proper warrant; but they now also want to be able to monitor and track every single thing you do and are at all times for future recall. Essentially, they are wanting to be able to reference the experience of your life, approaching your memory.

So what stops the government from reading your memories, once that technology is fine tuned? We are seriously on a precipice here, because humanity's political and civil society has not caught up to the exponential advances in technology.

The last time such a mismatch existed it resulted in WWI and WWII. Before we emerged, mumbling .... "WTF, just happened"

Pretty cool concept. Had a little trouble working out how to get started because on my 1024px wide monitor, the 'apply' button was not visible.
Spider and Web is a work of genius. But I'll warn you: if you have any interest at all in playing it, stop reading about it. Go in knowing as little as possible, and just work your way through. You'll do fine.

You can even play it for free online, so you have no excuse: http://eblong.com/zarf/zweb/tangle/

I just impulsively picked up the Hadean Lands bundle after reading this article too. I look forward to playing it.

What features does Box have that Dropbox doesnt? I realize that as a nonpaying user, I'm definitely not in the target market, but are there killer apps besides the normal usecases of a synced folder on all of your devices and sharing links to those files?

Seeking any work related with my skillset, willing to learn anything new. My portfolio is small, but I want to make it stronger and build up some great relationships and long-term collaborations. Worked on many projects in course of four years. Have great experience in HTML and CSS, web designing and protoryping mobile applications. Basic knowlage of PHP, MySQL and Laravel. Willing to work full time or project based.

My key strengths include:

- designing branding of company from scratch

- building web projects from top to bottom, user experience

- wireframing
My addition to the already great list: using temporary tables to serve content. Temp tables are great when you have a complex report, and breaking things up into stages gives you a performance boost (think you need to do multiple lookups against a list of users that is small but takes a long time to build). So if you generate this report at midnight via a cron job, temp tables work great. However, generating a bunch of them at once is a performance hit. Instead, use indecies or (in the worst case) caching with triggers.
The Art of Deception by Kevin Mitnick is a fun read. It's more about how to defend against social engineering, but you can take it from the other side too. :)
I have just ordered the new Nexus S for development work but the Samsung Galaxy S looks the part as well.
Given the choice between spending a day or a weekend building something in house, or using a remote web service, I will always bring it in house. Because it's ridiculous to rely on some remote service if you don't have to.

If it will take me a couple of months to replicate something which already exists as a web service, I will usually use the web service. If only temporarily.

None of the web services mentioned so far on this page seem significantly difficult to replace, and suggesting that people use them seems rather ill-informed advice...
I think it's worth noting that most of the articles submitted to HN have no comments on them, meaning if those pages without comments were indexed by google and included in their measure of our reading level, there would be many pages consisting of only the words: "flag, 1 point by xxxx, no comments, Hacker News, new, threads..." etc etc. So maybe that has some influence on google's calculation.
Why not? If the supercomputer was pre-existing, the Other OS option won't disappear unless they do a firmware update. The only reason I know of to do an update is to play the latest games, so unless they're having sessions of GTA in between protein folding, I doubt it's an issue.

Then you should examine the common element. (hint: its you)

Reminds me of people who have been through a string of failed romantic relationships and resign themselves to resenting the opposite sex. Shows a lack of perspective.

Sorry if this comment comes across as callous, I cant think of another way of expressing this without sounding like a bit of a dick.
Need to remember public companies manipulate their balance sheets, how do you think GE usually grows by the same percentage every year like clockwork. If you are trying to gain detailed insights instead of generalizations it won't work. You're best bet is to talk to someone in the industry that actually knows the real numbers.
I just came here from Reddit, but HuffPo is still my main news source. Most of what I've seen here (and can understand, since I don't have a programming bg) are "make you think" stories, and not a lot of news. Which is completely fine.
Let's keep in mind:

Manning, who has variously been reported to have had 'adjustment issues', gender identity issues and/or been grappling with his sexual identity reaches out to someone openly queer, out of the blue, as a like-minded person to talk to.

I fail to see the massive conspiracy here, aside from a refusal to air (more) of Manning's private life.

The latest salvo in this journalist internet mudslinging (from both parties) is not at all HN worthy.
https://github.com/darius/versecop/blob/master/passages.py -- it uses the CMU pronouncing dictionary and just punts on words not in it. I'd like to go back and improve it sometime. (The test passage there is from The Lord of the Rings.)
I've paid as high as 14.99, 9.99 is highest I usually go for DRM'd ebooks when I've not been waiting for it for some significant length of time, 12.99 would be acceptable for a DRM free ebook.

Though as Konrath has shown the lower ends of the 70% price range seems to be where the money is (I'm not 100% sure I buy ALL books by an author being 2.99 makes sense, the first in a series certainly but not so sure about the rest of one...)
Age 12. Traded my Atari 2600 and a bunch of cartridges for an Atari 400 with BASIC and Pac-Man. Learned to program from Antic and Creative Computing magazines. I can still hear that old Atari 410 cassette making the noises. Also, the Atari 400 made be very appreciative of real keyboards later in life.
Fox News seems to be the Fox News of journalism. As much as it may fail, there isn't much doubt that journalism is the thing they are failing at.
Is it a huge project to maintain? I thought the first HipHop implementation was a 2-person side project. Relative to FB's size, does it matter even if they had to put 10 people on it?
I think the GP is referring to a tendency to promote a certain ideology under the guise of news, versus engaging in objective journalism.
I'm sorry for such a content-light response but:

I miss my 6310is.
My 2c ... I see a problem with it not being able to fit into the HDMI ports on my TV ... due to the design of the TV there is only room for a compact HDMI cable (the port is located in a small recessed section). In this case I'd need to connect it with an HDMI extension cable, and would end up having to mount the dongle itself somewhere.

Its probably better to buy an ultra compact PC such as an Intel NUC or Gigabyte Brix, which come with VESA mounts for mounting onto the back of the TV, and store data on an SSD drive.

If you're renting the place out, it's the residents that pay to the local council - so you don't pay a penny. However, you are paying income or corporation tax on the rent, and capital gains on the appreciation once realised.

Why should someone who's lived in a property for decades be taxed out of their house just because the area they live in has become a desirable area?
> To my knowledge the highest stakes spread online are FT NL/PLO games of 500/1k (so buyin is $100k)

Aren't there deep-stacked high buy-in games now? Besides, I actually have a screen shot where I sat at a .25/.50 table ($50 buyin) long enough to get it up to $500, or 10 buyins. Surely it's possible for two players to sit at 500/1K and get the balance up over 250K. I'd even dare to say that in a reasonably-long headsup match, it would be very likely.
You can compile a set of (Lua) libraries with luac, then insert the bytecode as a string literal in a C program. loadstring works on bytecode, too. With C libraries, link as usual.

There are utilities floating around to reformat the luac.out file (compiler output), but all you really need to do is put

static const char *lua_code = "..."; /* with the body escaped */

If you don't end a line with ;, it will be concatenated to a subsequent string literal at compile time. Oh, and multiple lua files can be compiled into one luac.out.

Does that help? If you have further questions, contact info is in my profile.

Uhm... what was it? First I've heard of it, and the site is currently almost entirely empty (shut-down header, name, colored bar, and login link).
Mostly it's just the Android / iOS docs or stackoverflow up to help me out. But the urge to hit Cmd-T is just too bad.
Yeah, but how long will it be before we get an SDK for it?
> say some crop with new genes that make it spread uncontrollable through a whole ecosystem, in the same way invasive species sometimes do.

You don't need to worry about GMOs for that. We already have Kudzu vines.
What faked dataset are you referring to? The bat source was sequenced several years ago after guano harvesters fell sick. And the most likely lab scenario actually involves either gain of function research on that sample or that sample being exposed to animals and / or humans where it recombined to allow human to human transmission.
Saw another study mentioned in comments that had 24 hour glucose levels and there are definitely higher spikes for carb first for both T2 diabetics and people with a normal glucose response. One thing to note is that protein/veggies first didn't spike as much, but the glucose levels were also much slower to return to baseline. So I would call it a win, but not an absolute for T2 diabetics. It was a total win for people not glucose impaired.

That's kind of thinking takes quantity theory of money too seriously (axiomatically). Instead of looking if that has been true, you just assume that it must be true.
People in the rationalist community used his real name when discussing his pseudonymous writing. Searching for his real name identified him as Scott Alexander before too.
I've been stuck in an Excel only situation and it was extremely unproductive, and I knew with certainty that going past a very low complexity threshold would make my code 'write only', subject to bitrot when it would eventually be thrown away to be replaced with yet another spreadsheet.

Although spreadsheets are not great computational models for many tasks, they can be made to get the job done. The problem is easy introduction of errors and maintenance pain -- enhanced by the fact that 'anyone can do it's means no one owns solving the problem and staffing it someone with coding skills. It's like leaving basic toolboxes around the office and saying 'no we don't use electricians/plumbers/carpenters, too much overhead, just DIY'.

So yes, consultants often get the job done with Excel+VBA, a few Access DBs etc. Sometimes it is self-maintainable. The fact that Excel can get the job done (and comes with inbuilt software updates and budget) makes it easy for IT. But it is doing business critical work, using it is only papering over capability gaps.
I had this shift as well. I met a prof who did some really cool research I was interested in but ultimately lost funding. His lab and basically his entire career went down the drain.
I recommend https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/mainstream-m... for while MMT is nearly as divergent from the mainstream than is hyped. This comparison makes both clearer.
But meanings vary depending on region, education, political background.

Science, direct experience, is about as concrete as it gets.
Not everything is deserving of being treated as historical artifacts worthy of retention. A friend has lamented that when he was in college in the late 80s, he used USENET as a way to connect with people and work through some pretty heavy emotional challenges. Retaining his personal struggles is hardly "history" - if anything, the historical value of retaining the struggles of one inconsequential person is far lower than the direct impact a google search has on his life today. So as you said, some things aren't as important as you think - in his case, privacy and respect are a bit more important than a historical record of a teenager seeking people to talk to. Every minute detail of history isn't as important as you think.

Millions of trumpers engaging with him brings a lot less revenue than hundreds of millions of view of his one tweet.

It's all about advertising revenue and profits.
comical. destroy the right then.
The point of keeping one's language in the gray area is to avoid culpability. It's no different from when a boss wants their employee to do something unethical/illegal; they don't come out and ask for it explicitly. That isn't how real life usually works.

When people say Trump incited an insurrection, they are bearing this in mind. All but the most obtuse of people understand this.
You are all over these threads just trolling with nonsense.

That's against our community guidelines.

It'd be a service to the community if HN banned you.
I’m not defending race rioting. But the context of the riots that occurred over race and the riot that occurred where a mob was two doorways away from killing members of congress is contextually important, as is the fact that the capital rioters answered to exactly one (1) person. And the fact that that one person who had the power to call in the national guard to prevent such deaths appeared uninterested in doing so.
Okay, hear me out... maybe, just maybe, it's not a conspiracy, and you're the crazy one for not understanding basic common sense.

Maybe.
Your analogy makes no sense? The users within Parlor are very happy to be swimming in whatever it is they are swimming in over there.

Depends on how much "so much" is and what the work schedule is. I once had to prove to an over-zealous immigration official that in fact no one in Canada could be hired at any rational price to do the job I was arriving to do, given the schedule desired.
