Now you're missing the point.

When I was in Sweden last (some 5 years ago) I was blown away during a bus journey by watching a deaf person signing into a bog standard Nokia with her friend on the screen signing back.

Now that's epic.

> The prosecutors office was working to pile on even more charges for a theoretical max of 50 years

The theoretical maximum is utterly irrelevant.

> guaranteeing him years in jail if he did not accept

So you acknowledge that he definitely did violate the law, no? Sounds like the prosecutor was very generous with their plea deal offers.

“According to Swartz’s lawyers, the prosecutors in the case offered two different pleas. First, they would agree to a sentence of four months if Swartz agreed to plead guilty to the felonies. And second, they could agree to a deal in which Swartz agreed to plead guilty, the government would argue for a 6 month sentence, and Swartz could argue for a lesser sentence (presumably including probation). In all likelihood, the judge would have then sentenced Swartz to 4 months under the 1st plea and whatever the judge thought appropriate, up to 6 months, under the second plea.”
"Hal Finney's light brown eyes are pointed down.

I've just asked him if he was involved in the creation of Bitcoin. The 57-year-old man's almost imperceptible eye movement is his only way of telling me that he was not, and that I've spent the last week caught in the same futile windmill-tilting that has ensnared so many other reporters trying to solve the puzzle of Bitcoin's mysterious creator known only as Satoshi Nakamoto."
Signal unfortunately has limited media support. Otherwise I would love to have my wife on it.

Which was also among their biggest disadvantages as they had no coherent messaging.
I agree, the core problem is not if there's some "I read and agree" checkbox or not.. The problem is that we as a society has accepted EULAs, the first time a private customer encountered this, there should have been a backlash strong enough that no-one ever dared try it again. If a legally binding agreement is required, we should expect a formal meeting with the parties involved, lawyers from both sides discussing and clarifying the terms in the contract, before solemnly signing it. For all cases where this is overkill, it's overkill, and so is any EULA.

I studied this poem back in high school (in France).

I have mixed feeling about it. I said "studied", but I really meant "had to study". There's something about school's treatment of the subject that just robs the poem of any power. Maybe it's because as teenagers we likely didn't have the life experience for it to resonate with us. Even now, I can vaguely sense it but am numb to it. On the other hand, I'm glad I have been introduced to such poetry, as I think it helps me later in life to appreciate the finer things.

Also, did you know Baudelaire's translation of Poe's work brought it french recognition? (I earlier got it the wrong way around, thinking Poe had translated Baudelaire)

There's the extinction method which is the most hardcore and there's also the Ferber method which has the parent periodically check in with the baby.

Extinction is extreme, as one is basically abandoning the child to cry. They're scared, they don't know what's happening and they're alone.

Sure, they're (probably?) not gonna suffer long-term damage, but it's just an asshole thing to do. In the book recommending this method all parents had their instincts screaming that they're doing something wrong and they were feeling guilty even if it worked.
I can't imagine what Karl Marx would think of all this. :-)

I am from the U.S. My mother has my kids at least two days a week. It saves me money, gives her an excuse to come over, and the kids love it. After I finish working we will typically make dinner together. I did not have this sort of experience growing up and I'm really glad things have worked out this way for my kids.

If only I could get her to stop cleaning everything while she's at my house and filling my fridge with vegan alternatives.
Is it better for the prospect of peace if the U.S. and its adversaries all have large fleets of cheap warplanes or small fleets of expensive ones? I would argue that the F-35 is not only very expensive for the U.S., but has actually increased the cost of fielding fighter jets (as well as air defense systems) for the entire world. And therefore it has made it more expensive to fight a war for every country. Now ask yourself would you rather live in a world where the cost of wars is lower or higher?
It's also a disservice to people who have actually been gaslit, because the term is no longer descriptive for what they experienced. People just use it for any form of lying, deception, or abuse now. Or sometimes just disagreements, like you said.
No. My point was that 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) are not the same thing. The important point to note in this case is:
"501(c)(4) organizations may engage in unlimited lobbying in furtherance of their social welfare purposes."

"The more generous limit of non-exempt activity permissible to a 501(c)(4) explains why a 501(c)(4) organization may engage in substantial amounts of political campaign intervention activities even though the regulations make clear that such activities do not constitute the promotion of social welfare."

It's less pedantic and more: you can call a fork a spoon all you want, until you have to eat soup with it.
Well, yes. Haskell is heavily inspired by Miranda. Haskell was just managed in a way that allowed it to become very popular.

Its really simple , AS LONG AS the user uses a weak password, using bcrypt or not wont protect him.
Why ? Well instead of brute forcing the hashed password i'll directly try to bruteforce using the normal login method of your site (even if you rate limit my login attempts it wont take that much time...(see proxys)(if you are thinking about rate limiting per username etc you suck).

If you need yours users account to be safe just force them to use a strong enough password

hashed(password + salt) = epic win
I'm left asking things like "So, was Trump a Russian agent?"

The fact is, he never had to be. He is a fool and it was easy to predict his behavior would be far better for Russia than that of Clinton, and so Russia did everything it could to support him and damage his opponents, no collaboration necessary.
I cannot answer either the more broad or more specific questions in these threads. But my 2 cents as to:

"Why do we hire reactjs programmers with e-commerce experience instead of react programmers, e-commerce programmers, or programmers?"

In my neck of the woods, we generally hire specifically PeopleSoft Programmers, ideally with Payroll experience. Here's why:

1. First and foremost, developers need to do more than spit out code. They need to thoroughly understand business problems, work with business analysts and product owners to hash out requirements, be able to meaningfully discuss these requirements, create design that they can independently sanity-check meets these requirements, and then work on translating it into code.
2. They need PeopleSoft experience and knowledge - it's a specific ecosystem and language with specific requirements and constraints and capabilities. Programmer needs to fully understand these early on when they discuss requirements and solution with business.

3. Payroll experience helps, again for them to be able to discuss things meaningfully with the business.

I know that this ("Dev needs to be able to gather requirements") is self-evidently true across development world, but I want to underline that our developers can meaningfully discuss intricacies of Canadian and Provincial tax code, payroll processes and regulations, time and labour, benefits, pension, and other adjustments with their functional counterparts; while also having meaningful discussions with our DBA & Infra teams on indexes, stats, etc. All in the specific world of PeopleSoft where code resides in database, with specific component processor which offers about 30 different ways to trigger code on a page, while ensuring data integrity etc.

With that in mind, historically, it's just as easy and perhaps easier/faster/cheaper, to train a new grad (and we do, a lot!), rather than get somebody experienced in a completely different ecosystem and try to retrain them.

Now, PeopleSoft is a very specific (quirky, legacy, idiosyncratic, crazy, etc) ecosystem, but I think using it as an extreme example may show some of the core reasons why even in less extreme environments, requirements are fairly specific. Yes, a good programmer with wide experience has a lot of skills. But by numbers, I think most devs work in business areas with specific set of common industry/sector problems and solutions, which reward specialization.
The point I was trying to make was that accusing someone of being stupid for shopping in boutiques tells more about your lack of perspective for other people - which is one definition of one being stupid.
Ensure the participants can not have access to the web or their work e-mail should be number 1. That way they can't get distracted by either and will pay attention, thus ensuring the training is more effective and people notice you deliver effective training.

(Coming from my own observation of being present when people are being trained on a system I developed and have barely paid attention thanks to web / e-mail access)
Disagree that it's a waste. Yesterday's bookstore is today's cloud computing infrastructure. Today's weather app may be tomorrow's <whatever>. Getting people coding, shipping and excited about what they're doing will yield positive results later. I'm also a believer in nurturing genius. Ideas and innovation start from a slow simmer while working on seemingly mundane problems.

Even if this is a necessary condition for a perfect voting system, it doesn't change the underlying problem. Even if everyone voted, you wouldn't consider it a system that "truly reflected the will of the people" unless that voting system satisfied a few basic principles, like you can vote for anyone you want, there's no dictator, only information on the ballots is taken into account, etc. But those principles are Arrow's, and Arrow shows that there can't be a voting system that satisfies them. So there can't be a perfect system at all. What's the point then in making everyone vote?
Interestingly, that was my first thought too. I'm the guy who hacked together the javascript which passably reads the database file in-browser for this, and two things stood out to me as I was working: How much data there was, and how not-quite-that-accurate it was.

I think the initial app's way of presenting the data has merit because it does hide the swarm of identical points, but it also does make it 'feel' more accurate when you look at it because 'Yes! I live in that circle.' There's sure to be a happy middle ground somewhere.
Same here. I have a few sites stashed in that iOS folder (NOAA's Storm Prediction Center, Weather Underground for better storm track displays -- I live in a tornado-prone area) but they're all web pages, not apps per se.

There's a small track I can get on for $35, tho I won't hit triple digits.

Track nights can be as low as $125 and you will hit triple digits.

But yea, $125 is equally as out of reach as being dropped on Mars.
The point I was going for is that "proof" already doesn't work on lots of people, that's the real issue. Information literacy is an important skill that much of the populace lacks.
It has always been possible to fabricate evidence. What's troubling to me isn't the behavior of the police (who have done much worse) but the judge, who approved the warrant on ridiculous grounds, even though the judiciary is meant to be a check on the power of the executive.
Sorry, I meant to say the market will solve this problem. We don't need mass transit, we need more EV cars. Everyone should have a 7 ton steel EV to carry all the stuff they buy in the abundant future we have before us.
To me one of the more troubling aspects of this is that in 2013 and after 12 years, the specialists we have fighting this "war" still have trouble distinguishing between Hindu & Muslim (though obviously Muslims should not be treated like this either). It might be easier for me b/c I'm Hindu but just looking at a name is usually enough to at least get past that part.
> But testing theories in science or math can be automated(in most cases). [...] (although the testing can be quite lengthy and expensive ,which might really slow the singularity maybe to the point of no singularity at all).

So we would be back to the problem being raw computing power.

> And as for artistic creativity - that depends on if we can build some model on how humans evaluate art in general.

I'm pretty sure that's culture and social experience in general that allow us to evaluate art. Not sure robots will be able to do that soon, as it seems to be a product of our intricate biological structure.

> [...] to today ,where a large percent of commercial art is at least is generated or least guided by knowledge on how to create good stories, etc.

So maybe robots are not as much becoming humans as we're becoming robots.
I agree with you 100% that they're not independent, but I don't know enough about the data to model the probabilities of failure and availability in a HN comment :-)

After today's event, it would certainly be interesting to see how resource consumption changed in other availability zones and at other providers during this outage.

I wonder if that could be measured passively? What I mean is, by monitoring response times of various services that are known to be in specific regions and seeing how that metric changes (as opposed to waiting on a party that has little-to-no economic benefit to release that information.)
Reverting to a cottage industry.
Well, does it mean:

(x, y) -> x + y

Or:

(x) -> x + x

If I didn't know the language, I'd assume the latter, so it fails the principle of least surprise (at least for me).
You bring up a good point. One of my favorite T-shirt sayings is "Go away or I shall replace you with a small shell script". If someone could be replaced with a shell script, or even a major application, they were not well educated in the first place. Despite all the work on AI, computers are still only useful in extremely narrow niches, and absolutely require humans to provide the context necessary for their output to be useful.
I wonder: do they pay to access the Skyhook API on a per-hit basis?
Don't know yet, but I'm looking forward to cinco's release.

From what we know, Cinco uses the following components:

I believe Cinco has custom models, controllers, collections, views and other helpful tools.

That is not completely true, virtually all the oxygen on Earth came from bacteria. Life interacts with physics.
Agreed, but the extensibility is very limited.

Just look at the contortions this little package has to go through to apply a color to portions of text:
https://github.com/Monnoroch/ColorHighlighter/blob/master/Co...

It has to create and apply a fake theme merged with your current theme so colors can be added "dynamically"[1].

The ancient Emacs (I hate a hate/love relationship with it) can do this is several ways, the "modern" one are overlays IIRC.

[1] As expected, this will lead to bugs related to the users' color schemes: https://github.com/Monnoroch/ColorHighlighter/issues

I'm not an expert ... I dabbled a bit in Angular and found it really confusing and hard to debug. React worked mostly as expected. There were some gotchas but I managed to get through them in a few days.

It's a great book, and does a better job of explaining the origins of personal computing (and time shared systems) than pretty much anything else out there.
Sex and violence are a way to stand out, and they can be used very effectively for that. Clive Barker springs to mind as someone who crafts genuinely original, brilliantly written stories from those elements, for example.

But I agree, there's a tendency toward using them lazily - in the cast of fantasy, largely in the wake of Song of Ice And Fire. It'll calm down in a bit, I'm sure, just as the unoriginal fantasy doorstops tailed off in the late '80s as the D&D craze faded.
Cost makes all the difference. In the 1980's, a long-distance phone call was still a big expense. Being in a big city like New York gave you substantially more access to information than being in the rural USA. Knowledge of skills and techniques were siloed within big firms and academia, and sourcing goods would require the discovery of either local retail, or a phone or mail-order service. It's astounding that anything got done with such high costs of doing business.

Now we think nothing of calling somewhere, as long as somewhere is "within civilization" - even if it's a materially poor, remote area. It's easy to find goods online, even relatively obscure ones. And if we have a question about a specialized field, we can usually find some online source that can point us in the right direction.

What we haven't really done yet is reorganize the economy to make good use of all these new efficiencies. We still manufacture and market as before, just using some additional channels.
Indeed.

For me it's not so much the absolute requirements (i.e. 8 hours a day, these specific hours, can't do anything else within that time) but rather the subordinate aspect of having no control over that. The way in which it's just the only option for seemingly _no reason_. It's totally arbitrary.

I'd love to work a job where I could say, choose three days a week to work (or alternatively have 100 days holiday, restricted to not allow huge stints off) and receive 60% of a reasonable salary.

Even better, though less realistic, would be an MMORPG-style job in which you could choose to put in 100 hours in week 1, 20 hours in week 2, etc and choose those hours whenever you wish.

Self employment comes close if you're not dealing with megacorps, but you still run into the problem that clients may not want you to just disappear for weeks at a time.
> My advice to my younger self would also be to take more student loans so I wouldn't have to work. I had to work to pay tuition, but working made keeping up with school impossible. Catch 22.

This is counter to my experience. I was able to work part-time jobs just fine, and having that experience made me a much more competitive candidate upon graduation.
It genuinely hadn't crossed my mind that a CI system and a build system were different things - maybe because I usually work in dynamic rather than compiled languages?

I've used Jenkins, Circle CI, GitLab and GitHub Actions and I've always considered them to be a "remote code execution in response to triggers relating to my coding workflow" systems, which I think covers both build and CI.
> Conmen and various methods of crime require significant acting ability

I really don't think they do. The main thing that they require is that you don't listen to the anxiety (or after experience lose the anxiety completely) that everyone can see through you. It's the illusion of transparency that outs a liar, not any codable authenticity in their reaction. "Tells" are nervous tics, and "lie detectors" are sympathetic nervous system arousal detectors.

People can't see through you. A funny thing you learn when doing public speaking is that they can't even see your crippling nervousness unless it expresses itself in stereotypical tics. If your tics are strange, people will have no insight into them (unless they know you.)
