Probably a lot of historical users will never tick the box to allow their data to be transferred, and that data will fall off the web, or at best be archived. That would happen even if there was not a time limit for users to take action; June is likely the time limit. There has already been some work on scraping an archive of Delicious and that is going to pick up steam.

On the one hand, they seem to be doing things right with giving users control over their data, and complying with their ToS. Pity this means the data that got siloed away will be lost. Even when everyone does everything right, data silos are not good in the long term.
Another reminder that we should all just get our own domains.

Using a subdomain of another company is always risky and it's bad branding.
This is a gorgeous text, and easy to agree with, although it doesn't go into great detail.
If you change the bounds to include the 1700's, the prevalence of the term is more pronounced (if you pardon the pun).
I'm really surprised they've managed to beat her in google ranking.
All true points. However, I feel it is a stretch to call it a truck. It’s more of a cross between a truck and a suv meant to look like a less cool Delorean.
Like the mainstream political arena, the most accurate explanations don't stick, but the most appealing ones do. The parentheses of Lisp's "function within the tuple" application disappear in the same way that other languages' function-before-the-tuple parenthesis disappear - it's not particularly noteworthy. "Don't even see the parenthesis" is talking past the real objection, which is that the depth of parenthesis in every other language does not matter - ie (expr) is equivalent to ((expr)). Whereas in Lisp they also mean another level of application.

I think an interesting synthesis is Haskell, where function calls are simply juxtaposition. Parenthesis are just grouping like most languages, but it ends up feeling quite Lispy.
Sorry, I have no advice to give, the whole npm dependency nightmare horrifies me. Totally understand that this is not a problem of your making, though.

I guess you can use packages that use minimal dependencies, and pin those to specific versions.

Maybe look to convert to a language that doesn't do this? I realise that's a tough call, though.
It is indeed a real product. They've got several different landing pages. The one you've read is https://fibery.io/anxiety

Check out https://fibery.io/freedom, https://fibery.io/connect, and https://fibery.io/build
You might want to clarify that “C-1” is actually C^-1 because otherwise I was wondering where subtraction comes into play.
"These drugs suppress activity of the default mode network of the brain, which is a sort of "conductor" of the brain, which chooses which "instruments" to prioritize and how to allocate the train of thought"

That's interesting, but it sounds like a plausible description of how schizophrenia works too, maybe even one that I've read before, and yet my impression is that "natural" psychosis is different.
I think this will backfire if it gets more traffic than the real page.
Brilliant. I love how there are so many different themes to the landing page. I'm signing up.
I like Gruvbox for the same reason
At some point, the amount of people who have the curiosity to click any of the links probably outweighs the poor traffic if it was just like "we made a new tracker".

I think they've hit that point.
This is why I started with the question, "How difficult is it to understand the rules[?]".

I haven't seen the rules posted anywhere, or any real discussion on the rules or how hard they are to follow. Have you?

Also, I'm not sure what is wrong with the assumption that jury rules should be "basic", as in, understandable to a jury member. Do you assume that jury instruction should be complex, complicated, and not understandable to a jury member?
In high school I cut out all fat, added sugar(honey, etc), and only ate whole wheat in baked goods for about
two years. I did it because I was worried about clogging up
my arteries.(Yea, I was/am kind of neurotic.) It was the eighties, and a heart attack was a heart attack. I remember
my GP saying he hasn't see a total cholesterol of 130 in a while. I wished I kept that diet.
What is being proposed for new laws scares me more than any hacker.
A year ago people were saying it could go to $10,000/btc if it became widespread in China. Then China banned it.
If Congress is making laws and policy based on movies, we have a bigger problem then which movies they base it on.
+1 for telecaster "shape" -- I grew up on Strats, but play a thin line Tele most of the time now. I concur with your assessment of being able to "feel" where it is.
Some in this thread have already mentioned platform lock-in/DRM, which is a huge issue, the elephant in the room really. But the other huge issue I encounter very often is the absolute garbage typography and formatting of even commercial-grade ebooks.

For example, of the ebooks I've read, 80% of them that were sourced from books that were in print before the ebook era are clearly slap-dash OCR jobs that never even got a proofread from a frazzled intern. Even modern books, those published this year or recently, are subject to this sort of mistreatment, though at a lower rate. King's Dark Tower series is a great example of this: when I bought the ebooks from Amazon a few years ago, they were filled with spelling errors, mis-curled quotation marks, errant or missing hyphens, broken paragraphs, and so on. And I paid nearly the same price as a print version!

Even if an ebook isn't an awful OCR hackjob, publishers seem to insist on dragging our collective decade of experience writing web pages and the HTML5-based epub3 spec through the mud. An ebook is, at its core, nothing more than a handful of HTML pages and some metadata. Ebook readers, at their core, are web browsers. Yet commercial ebook developers insist on using outrageously bad markup that confuses a device's simple mind, awful custom styling that stomps a device's sane defaults, and markup that's only compatible with one or two platforms. (Amazon is partly to blame for this, because their stubborn and idiotic insistence on the god-awful mobi format instead of the open and sane epub format means many producers have to trust automated tools to convert between the two.)

Free ebooks aren't excused from this either; books from Project Gutenberg are also hit-or-miss in quality, mostly miss. (Though that may be because many of their ebooks were produced before ereaders and modern standards were even a thing!)

All of that together makes ereading a distinctly sub-par experience compared to the beauty that centuries of typographical knowledge produces in print books.

I'm working on a public-domain project, standardebooks.org (not online yet), to help nudge the industry in the right direction. The idea is to promote a rigorous typography and coding style guide to public-domain books transcribed at Gutenberg. Anyone can use these guides, our toolchain, and the ebooks produced from them as a sort of "best practice" for creating high-quality epubs that look great on any modern ereader. If you're interested in helping, drop me a line.
Publishers could lower the price of ebooks and still make more than they would on a paperback? Right?

Surely printing costs, distribution costs, and retail costs for a physical book dwarf the listing fee that Amazon et al charge for an ebook?
No, he wasn't wearing anything political.
If you're choosing to work at a startup you're basically an investor, but you're gambling your time instead of your capital (sort of - time is an opportunity cost of capital you could be making elsewhere).

Not everyone is good at being an investor, but it's not entirely luck, there is skill in determining what companies are good and what companies are not.
This looks like an open source equivalent to an Odroid Go, is that right?

https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-go/
When I worked for a large tech company I spent a few months building a similar service for internal use. I can confirm, managing all of those instances and making it reliable can be a huge headache. I really wish using browserless was an option for us
Is there “error” for these these tests independent when performed on the same person spaced out over a long enough time period?

Say you run the test every day/week/month, can you look at the total results or do the failure cases for the tests themselves depend on the individual?
TL;DR (in advance): I think you are correct in your estimate, though household income is higher than that. $100K household income is still considerably higher than most Americans make.

Just to give some real numbers, the median household income in the US is $63,688. Unfortunately I couldn't find reliable numbers for dual income families in the US, but it appears to be over 60% (I saw numbers anywhere between 60-69%, but unfortunately no authoritative references).

Rough histogram of income distribution is:

10th percentile: < $15K

20th percentile: $15K <=> $25K

30th percentile: $25K <=> $35K

40th percentile: $35K <=> $50K

50th percentile: $50K <=> $65K

60th percentile: $65K <=> $80K

70th percentile: $80K <=> $130K

80th percentile: $130K <=> $160K

90th percentile: > $160K

I constructed this from a variety of different sources since I couldn't find anything that stated it explicitly. It is not entirely accurate, but it should give you a rough idea of the distribution. Would be nice if someone could find better data.
Thats kinda the point I think.

They cant claim Vegan if there is animal product in and on it.
> But to (playfully) turn it around on you, what was your objective in writing your comment? To display that you already know this and are thusly above the "naieve" upvoters of "banality"? Is that not "seeking approval/support/vindication?" :-)

It is a very important question. ( and I would have answered it even if you had asked it in any other manner without being 'playful') ). You can see what I have put on my HN profile and also here:
https://realminority.wordpress.com/about/

You see, approval/verbal support/vindication etc. are normal human emotions that most of have, but I personally make a conscious effort to minimize. Independent thinkers don't look for social approvals. I'd like to think of myself as a (relatively ofcourse) independent thinker. I have an nearly inactive account at Facebook and similar site, and spend almost never spend anytime on these sites.

If you look at my recent post history, I have started posting some presumably contentious posts, generally seeking similar minded people for long term alliances. The alliances will have to result in tangible material/health/survival benefits. I know for a fact that I'm not a wordsmith, so in isolation those post may convey an inaccurate image of me among those with whom there could be potential alliances. With these similar minded people, it indeed does matter to me what they think of me, from a long term perspective. I do want to convey a larger personality than what can be inferred from my contentious posts. So this reasoning is at the logical level not at the emotional level.

(ofcourse if you get into thinking along likes of evolutionary biology you will realize that all need to seek social approval was indeed ultimately intended for tangible benefits like survival, but often these emotions can be far removed from ground reality, as it happens with social media).

To summarize - there is an intended audience for my reply to you too. ( though I'm not sure if you may be one of them)
This is because of 95th percentile spikes most likely.
It's difficult, but it's not a Hard Problem in the sense of requiring a complete paradigm shift. It's a mere research problem.
Why don't you think it's funny to study data structures and algorithms?
My whole point is that the AI problem has always been different from the consciousness problem. Why does AI need to be conscious to do any job I might give it?
Because success, both for startups and for HN submissions, is highly affected by chance.
Three seconds is a very long time...

Maybe just go with one of these http://thetimedok.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/big-red-button...
I wouldn't consider it "widely deployed" compared to the Linux installed base.

Sure, Joyent (and others) has "deployed hundreds of thousands of zones into production over the years", but you guys are the only well-known, large-scale, public hosting service using zones (and you're damn good at that, no doubt about it!)

Now compare with dotCloud, Heroku, Dreamhost, 1&1, Mediatemple, OVH, Amen (just to name those I can remember without doing an extensive research): those guys have also "deployed hundreds of thousands of Linux-based VPS into production", using VServer, OpenVZ, and more recently, LXC.

Don't get me wrong: I'm a big fan of Solaris (and its heritage); I have lots of my marbles on ZFS; I hacked basic ZFS support in Docker just for fun a while ago; and if I knew better, I would love to find a way to run sub-zones and a ZFS pool in a Joyent SmartOS instance and port Docker to your platform. But there is a helluva lot of Linux hosters out there.

I'll close with a lovely paraphrase:
« Perhaps LXC containers are a new technology for you, but understand that it's not new for everyone; some of us have been doing this for a while â€” widely deployed and in production. » ☺
This guy has spent 3 years in solitary confinement and is facing 35 more in the brig. And yet has the courage and clarity of mind to explain why he did what he did and say he will "gladly pay that price". Astounding.
Oh, if you enjoy crafting as a hobby, that's something different, and then obviously worth it.
Well sure, smaller places might not even be able to muster enough people to do that many interviews. It ends up taking about as long as a Google interview, but it's not just debugging assembly on a whiteboard. We tour you around the site, talk about what you'd be able to work on, etc. The interviewers are selected from several different but related groups so you hear about a lot of different work going on.

One of the facts of research life is that you'll spend a good chunk of time talking to people and presenting your work--it's the price you pay for being able to choose what you work on. This interview process seems to help select for people who work well in that environment.
This will take far too long.

Let's riot in the streets with weapons and convince the police to help us.
But a lot of women (more than you'd think) are actively told from an early age that they are not capable of learning math, and that they can't reasonably have a successful career in science or engineering.

This even despite the fact that there are a lot of other women who weren't taught this nonsense, and have been very successful in scientific and engineering fields.

I don't think it's a matter of women not gravitating toward programming. It's more likely a matter of girls being taught that they're not capable of it and not having successful role models who are in these industries.
His whole point is that the occasional person who IS "phoning it in all the time" will appear to be very good at their job, possibly better than the people who are really trying their best to get it right.
Not at all. It was always possible, it just would have meant larger batteries. They size the battery to the phone, not the phone to the battery.

Have you noticed that once smartphones came out they've never really had much more than a day's worth of battery life, yet they get thinner and thinner?

They could easily make the phone 1mm thicker and probably double the battery life, but they don't. They're not trying to make a maximum battery life, they're trying to make the "sexiest" thing possible and still have what someone, somewhere thinks is probably about OK given the average use.
How is this open-source? Right now this is appears to be no-source.
Models are not proofs (in fact they're the opposite). In SAT/SMT, a proof is a sequence (a tree really) of deductions that show that you can conclude "false" from the set of initial assumptions, and that, therefore, there is no model.
The JetBrains suite of IDEs, all built on the same platform, support these and much more (Java, Python, Ruby, Scala, ...). With the exception of AppCode (for iOS) you can also get them all in the main release IDEA with relevant plugins.
The same thing that happens when a service or product you depend on shuts its doors or gets bought out.

Why is this so exceptional? What would we do if twitter folded tomorrow? things like this happen all the time. There is nothing special about it, except Wired wants to make money taking this tack.

I mean, it'd be nice if we could depend on things to be there forever and it'd be nice if companies shuttered gracefully, but it does not happen all the time.

What are they saying in essence? Don't depend on closed source services? Don't depend on non-creative commons Wired articles for your news as they may shut down one day? People make a calculus. This option is closed source, but offers this advantage. I know, as any business, they may disappear and I'm left holding the bag, but I'm willing to take that chance, given the advantages. This is also the case for open source software, but, yes, OSS has the advantage that someone with sufficient need and resources could resurrect the project.

Fine, they have a preference for open source. That's great. We could all hope all was open source but short of that, we use the tools that are available --with the understanding they could disappear tomorrow.
And that’s where we come full loop – with servo-shell being just like firefox’ XUL-based UI
That's what the I in IDE means: Integrated!
I feel like your post highlights one of the glaring problems with the SV/SFBA echo chamber.

Uber, DoorDash, whatever, they're services glued together with server-side logic and mobile apps.

Fedex, UPS, and I'll even lump Amazon in there. These are logistics powerhouses. Their physical world equipment isn't a liability, its their advantage. Fedex and UPS have knowledge on how to manage a fleet of hundreds of aircraft, thousands of long-haul tractor trailers, tens of thousands of local delivery trucks, and hundreds of thousands of employees.

Your app does not have that. You have users. You have VC money. And while you might think you're more agile than logistics dinosaurs, they have the upper hand. Good luck.
Anyone know what the things he "couldn't talk about" were? I was hoping to hear the open mic bit at the end for a hint but the video is cut off.
It's great that this contest has been running for so long and still produces interesting new approaches, but I wish there were more work being done in the field of underhanded code contests, e.g. [0].

One area of technology that seems to have continued the work of discovering underhanded techniques is the realm of cryptocurrency, specifically the "Solidity Underhanded Contest". The results for 2020 are here[1], which links to (spoiler alert) a great trick on line 65 here[2] (select the line character by character with a mouse to reveal it).

Thats the thing though. The hardware is so good that there are people who would run Linux on the Mac if they could, but since they can't they cave in and just run MacOS. I have an M1 and its so much better than my Linux XPS 15 that I just end up using the M1 (and getting sucked into their eco-system). And this is just their first release!
Honestly wasn’t sure when I wrote it, I’m an atmospheric scientist, not an engineer, so it seems typically adiabatic to me... quite possibly the answer is “both”.
That could be true. However, it's better to use wired backhaul than more WiFi for the backhaul. Commercial locations do many access points with smaller broadcast area but use copper to bridge everything together.

You're right about the location aspect though. 99% of people will not be bothered. How do we change that? The ISPs could be incentivized to do higher quality install work perhaps? I'm not sure what the answer is.

The eruption in popularity of pro-sumer installs using gear like Ubiquiti gives me some hope that slowly people will see the way. I've installed UAPs at 5 homes now over the last 6-7 years. Zero support calls.
Amazon's air safety record is less than stellar. Prime Air had a fatal 767 incident in early 2019.

https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Pages/AA...

In the accident flight, the first officer (FO) inadvertently activated the "go around" mode during landing, then, in surprise, pushed the airplane into the ground.

> According to one check airman at [FO's previous airline], the FO could explain things well in the briefing room and performed some expected tasks well in the simulator. However, when presented with something unexpected in the simulator, the FO would get extremely flustered and could not respond appropriately to the situation. She said that when the FO did not know what to do, he became extremely anxious and would start pushing a lot of buttons without thinking about what he was pushing, just to be doing something.
Yikes :O
There's something that really creeps me out about errors in AI generated images. More than uncanny valley creepiness. Like trypophobia creepy.
Depends on your job. Professional/managerial salaries often lead inflation - if you're a financier, engineer, consutant, or CEO you've been raking it in over the last decade. Public servants, service & factory workers, and other commodity jobs lag inflation.

My mom was a teacher and said that when she graduated in college (late 60s), teacher salaries were maybe 20-30% below engineer/lawyer/professor salaries. By the time I was born (early 80s) her classmates in those professions were making 3x what she was.
But you want slow accurate strokes with most hammers. Very hard to get precision with speed.
alright got it, thanks everyone, i'll stay quiet the next time
According to this [1] cost of living calculator if you're making $55k in Portland you'd need $72k in San Jose - to maintain the same standard of living. A 30% increase in cost of living. So, anything more than that you'd actually be earning more in relative terms.
