Interesting news. But I see a lot of negative comments regarding the biometrics.

Here's my two cents.

I'm the founder of a biometric users identity check solution, called Typing AI Biometrics ( https://typing.ai ). We identify users by the way they type. Typing biometrics can be used as a two factor (2FA) or multi factor (MFA) authentication method.

Instead of combining the usual username + password with an OTP code that you recive on your smartphone or email, you can combine the basic username + password with a typing pattern check, it's much more secure and efficient. The typing signature translated into a 300+ encrypted characters hash, which is (up until now) impossible to break.

You can even remove the username + password and combine the typing biometrics check (known as keystroke dynamics) with an OTP verification. Biometrics are the future of authentication and authorization, because they are unique to each person, but only with the promise of not keeping and sharing the users data.

React isn't a better choice than other frameworks by any stretch of the mind. It's "industry standard" because developers don't use the correct tools anymore, they just use these buzzwords to build their resume to jump from job to job every year and leave the previous job with a pile of shit. The web is slower because of React. Luckily I see the dominoes falling, people are over it.

Here's to the next generation of frameworks, Svelte, Vue, SolidJS, or just literally returning HTML with Liveview/Turbo.
Can you buy and own music from those services?
Thanks for noticing that, I'll take a deeper look.
There's a world of difference between making their case and instructing their employees on how and where they should vote and surveilling them while they do it.
I find that very difficult to believe. It flies in the face of everything I have been told about how the markets behave. If cafes double their prices and people's salaries don't double, people won't just get used to the new prices, they stop going to cafes. Such a price increase would capture the interest of economists and academics. I am sure papers and books will be written on it, as well as capturing the attention of the general public and the journalists and having lots of news segments and articles written about it. Could you please try to find some of these and share them with me. I do not know which country we are talking about and unless it is Ireland, I don't speak the language to search the internet on my own.
That's the whole point. If it inspires at least 1 person, then it was enough already.
I guess “right to work” refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law:

“In the context of U.S. labor politics, "right-to-work laws" refers to state laws that prohibit union security agreements between employers and labor unions. Under these laws, employees in unionized workplaces are banned from negotiating contracts which force employees who are not union members to contribute to the costs of union representation.”

So, in such states, the (union, employer) combo cannot force every employee to pay the union (employees can choose not to become a member, but still would have to pay them)

I don’t understand how that fits in the story, though. I guess the OP meant “at will”?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment): “In U.S. labor law, at-will employment is an employer's ability to dismiss an employee for any reason (that is, without having to establish "just cause" for termination), and without warning, as long as the reason is not illegal.”
Yes, I would buy any laptop which offered an ortholinear keyboard option, with customisable firmware.

I switched to using an Ergodox after long hours working on a MacBook Pro made my wrists start to hurt and my pinkie finger to go numb (and this was back in the day when a MBP keyboard was still decent!). I can still type full speed on a regular keyboard but it doesn’t feel as comfortable, and I think there’s a genuine health issue at least for some people.
I am based in California, US.
> I don’t know what it means to live in a “right to work” state. I assume that means that everyone has a right to reasonably paid employment?

It’s Doublespeak. It’s a union-busting law. Effectively, it means the opposite — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law
I suppose this is because I work in the area of high performance systems research, but I never compile locally. All of my compilation and execution happen on a remote cluster. I've used a 13" or 15" Macbook Pro for all of my work for the past three years.
There is absolutely no correlation between having a high Page Rank and outranking competitors. Go search for "hacker news" in google and you'll see that www.thehackernews.com (a PR 0 url) outranks twitter.com/hackernews (a PR 6).

The reason your site dipped out of the rankings is because when Google crawls a site and there have been significant changes to the structure (new theme, new internal linking structure, missing pages, etc), they yank you out of the index in order to reevaluate your proper position before moving forward. This can take a day, a week, a month, or half a year to recover; there is no way to predict how long it will take.

Try and replicate as much of your old site's structure as soon as possible, and just give it time.
Great ammunition for those of us with day jobs. This is the kind of article upper management loves and should really grease the wheels.
I was really surprised here as well. Does any one else have any data points here?

How does it handle 720p contents?
You can have multiple external monitors. Check out the Matrx dual/triple head to go setups. Been using a triple head for a while now.

http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/th2go/
I've got a similar setup and it got me thinking about buying a used mac pro tower to max out the 4 HD slots with SSDs and RAID them across. Anyone try that or know if the speed boost would be noticeable?
Or perhaps not. I've spent hundreds on apps, and have yet to spend a single dollar in IAP.

Horses for courses... it all depends on what type of market your app caters to.
The NSA has conflicting mandates. Better to think of them as two agencies, red team and blue team. Unfortunately too much red, not enough blue.

> yes, then there are people like me trolling those idiots.

Perhaps not the best way to approach the issue, is it? Teach them. Help them by reasoning with them. But trolling people who are already convinced of an entirely unscientific view of the world, isn't it.
I've always thought that a language like Idris based on Dependent Types would by far be the best language for this.

The problem is a non-trivial one even for 'simple' things like a person's name. Having a rule that takes in languages, special characters, spaces etc is hard.
> I add the label "featuritis" to remind us of extra features (eg. ldap) that we reject now but might want to reinspect later.

That sounds absolutely reasonable and like a good policy.
I actually got pretty cool tones on one recording by tracking direct into software (not even an amp model - a distortion modeler and a modulator), and blasting the monitors loud enough to get feedback. You're absolutely right about the importance of a little feedback on the tone (even if feedback isn't the goal), but there's more than one way to get it.

Frank Zappa used to record with little Pignose practice amps in an echo chamber, and got his feedback off the studio monitors as well.
> In theory, you could do the same for people's brains.

No because the instant you used an image that was close, but wrong the human brain would retrain.

I wonder in the neural net can do the same - try this experiment on an active neural net and let it train itself. (i.e. don't tell it it's being faked, let it figure it out then correct for it).
Irresponsibility and malice cause harm. There are many actions an individual could take that may harm people close to them. That's life, but the actions themselves aren't the issue. There's nothing inherent to drug usage that is harmful to others, unlike say, violence. In egregious instances of drug use where there is harmful effects like mistreating children, there are already laws to cover those. Those laws, again, are intended to address irresponsibility or malicious intent.

If a single person with no children decides to do drugs every now and then, but otherwise lives a normal life, what harm as been done? Heck, even if that person is married and has children, what harm as been done? Drug use itself isn't directly harmful to others.
i mean the domain name works, which is kind of suprising? I am asking about the who.is details.
I've found that "set and forget" approach really problematic myself, and complex midi footswitching not much friendlier than a mouse. Then again, I've never gone on a big tour. What works best for me is convenient knobs right there where I can tweak sound as needed.
This seems pretty cool to me, but I can't think of any use cases. Can you give an example of any? tia.
Depends what you want to do, and why you're doing it. Very often when I make something in Flask, I end up with so many dependencies it might as well be Django (but without the cohesion). On the other hand, Django might be overkill in some situations (e.g. a small API without a relational database backend).
Right tool for the right job. You’re not wrong unless you are - if as others said you’re reinventing the wheel on flask, or are doing a very simple API service in Django which doesn’t use most of its facilities (like the admin) and could easily be done in flask.
Meanwhile in Sausalito if you want to live on a houseboat that you own the fixed expenses are something like $4K/month.
"guilty for working on the destruction of society." is a big stretch. Stripe processing payments for the Proud Boys is a failure of regulation of the Proud Boys, not of Stripe.

Canada has declared the Proud Boys a terrorist organization. If they had bank accounts in Canada, the banks would not be allowed to keep them open or to deal with them. Neither would Stripe.

I don't know what the situation is where someone uses a Canadian-bank issued credit card to buy something or transfer funds to the Proud Boys in the US. That would be similar to using it to transfer funds to Al Queda or ISIS if they had a bank account.

Cloudfare are not "happy" to protect those sites, but they are also committed to not censoring unless absolutely necessary and in accordance with the law.

So the tech examples you quote are about enforcing laws, not requiring big tech to somehow police itself by "fighting it like cancer".

I'm sure not to be the first one to point this out, but checking other people's emails is quite revealing. It's very much documenting in public which sort of websites about every person you know is visiting. Among them [1] "Baby Names", "Ashley Madison", "Adult FriendFinder", "diet.com". Want to profile your friends – there you are.

Hello HN,

They do. In real companies (those with you know, revenue) millions of ordinary people called business analysts, accountants, statisticians use SQL or tools like Business Objects to do real work on multi-terabyte databases called Data Warehouses every day. Have done for years before the first hipster called himself a "data scientist".
> Crash or no crash, we should expect a significant increase in the level of institutional adoption this year. Specifically, a large number of companies will put together groups focused on what Bitcoin means to them — and as early as next year we’ll start to hear people ask “What’s your Bitcoin strategy?” in much the same way people asked “What’s your social media strategy?”…

This could be great news for social media consultants who have seen their wells run dry. Now these consultants can set their sights on convincing companies to add We Accept Bitcoin buttons to their websites.

But I believe a16z is thinking too small. Companies need to look beyond Bitcoin. Personally, I'm tired of the Benjamin Franklin branding on the $100 bill. Bring on the modern brands. I for one am looking forward to the day when I can convert all of my hard-earned money into LouisVuittonCoin and PepsiCoin.
It seems like if you're interested in making money online with advertising with "journalism" there's strong pressure to turn yourself into BuzzFeed.... that is, low effort, cheap tricks, information pornography.
Another way to think about it is to ask how many lives could have been saved with this (or any other) system.
I am very aware that Rhode Island has significant numbers of people in poverty, especially around Providence. I don't think it's anywhere close to DC's situation, though I could be wrong, of course.

And just to be clear, right behind DC and Rhode Island we have Alabama (OK, maybe poverty). Then just a few % above them New Hampshire, Kansas, Alaska, Pennsylvania.

These are all quite different from each other on various socio-economic and geographical axes.

And of course the states with the most successful vaccination campaigns in the US (with ~98% of vaccine supply used) are West Virginia, North Dakota, and New Mexico. Which are also quite different from each other in various socio-economic ways.

So it's hard to blame the socio-economic angle for the state-by-state disparities here, though I would be quite willing to look at data showing otherwise.
Just realised I never mentioned anything from other manufacturers:

- LG were great because their hardware was appropriately powerful at the time and WebOS was well optimised (as well as being straightforward to develop for)

- Samsung were fine from a user perspective but had a lot of quirks for development

- Panasonic were similar to Sony (underpowered Android) but had far worse remotes and less spaghetti UX
Wouldn't this depend on the type and severity of the autoimmune disorder? Someone with mild Rheumatoid Arthritis for example would be effectively cured if the inflammatory antibodies were supressed as their inflamed joints would largely be able to heal near to their original state.
It's about 32 hours of audio.

As some of the audio is read in different accents to the main accent used, ideally the different accent audio would have been removed. Doing so would be expected to help with voice quality, reducing the overall amount used and, as a bonus, cutting training time too.
Very interesting that two people seated directly next to someone who tested positive, never tested positive.

"These seven passengers came from five countries, and they were seated within four rows of one another for the 18-hour duration of the flight. Two acknowledged that they did not wear masks, and the airline did not require mask-wearing in the lobby before boarding. Nor did it require preflight testing, although five of the seven passengers who later tested positive had taken a test, and received a negative result, in the days before boarding."

Unfortunately they don't show/say what two opted not to wear masks, but If I had to guess, it's probably the two at the front that got infected?
Good blog post from the author about the book.

Basically all of that could be done programmatically though. There are sane defaults that can be used for these things; projects like Mail-in-a-Box do most of that heavy lifting for you. (When all you want is a basic SMTP/IMAP/webmail server... a standard config can work just fine.) It doesn't even necessarily have to be done through a command line.

What can't so easily be done programmatically is DNS registration, because it involves money changing hands and there's no standard "registrar API". You'd have to either support an arbitrary number of differently-shaped APIs of different registrars or pick a "blessed few" to support.
These apps are found in the 'Health App' under 'Audiogram'. The app I used is called Mimi Hearing Test. Free, and calibrated for regular Airpods. There are two more apps listed for audiograms, Streaks and SonicCloud Personalized Sound.

Once there's an audiogram captured into the Health app, go to
Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Headphone Accomodations > Transparency Mode.

Some of these are not immediately obvious as links. He can then modify the amplification and 'brightness' of the sound.

I'd urge you have him get real hearing aids though. They are pricey, but so much better long term. There are newer ones that can connect to IOS devices and stream sound.
The problem here is that the news orgs know that most of their traffic comes from FB and Google. They don't like this law either.

This law is being pushed just by News Corp, who knows they can survive without FB and Google. This is exactly the outcome they were hoping for.

The way the law is written, they don't have to pay the news orgs until those orgs request it. Perhaps one option is for FB and Google to keep linking to any news site that doesn't ask for money, and when one asks, just drop them .

Using Hungarian notation for naming my kids.
I'm surprised it continued to change after detail was lost. Seems like there would be some measurable property of a codec/decode process that could be quantified - the entropy? It would be a desirable property to be 'idem-potent', e.g. after one cycle the result settles.

I don't think it has anything to do with sales or selling.

Are you passionate about your work? Obviously most of us are. We talk to each other here about it all the time. Do to any dev group or hacker hangout and it's hard to hear yourself think with all the chatter we share with each other about our work.

Emailing, calling, or talking to civilians is the same thing. As soon as we think it's "selling", we set up a mental block that's no good for anyone.

Just build a great product for others and share your passion about that product with them. Anyone can do it. In fact, most of us already are.

Just be yourself, let others know how your work will benefit them, and let the "selling" become a byproduct of that process. It's much easier than many of us think if we just give it a chance.

Is this one of those things that hypothetically could happen in the future or are there kernels that actually do this right now?
I’ll give the guy the benefit of the doubt. The outcome is slightly mischaracterized with regard to who’s in agree about the facts. There’s clearly some unresolved issues about what exactly happened as the brief makes clear.

Exactly what was said at the hearing following the event was not recorded and the events following are a he said, she said according to the judges opinion.

I believe there shouldn’t have been a hearing in the first place. If it’s true that he was argumentative and disrespectful towards those in authority that’s always a good way to get yourself in trouble regardless if you’re right or wrong.

My thoughts are that there probably shouldn’t have been a hearing and that he handled it poorly even though it shouldn’t have happened. Should that be blamed on “the left’s” intolerance? Idk.

No, people can be right and still be dismissive.

If someone comes to me and tells me 2+2=5, and I say "no, dummy, get out of here", that doesn't make them right. Sometimes people don't want to have to deal with nonsense.

> It also doesn't make sense for late adopters to get the same price because there's a lot more risk associated with being an early adopter than a late adopter.

Other way of saying it, is that early participants in a pyramid scheme don’t have guarantees that they’ll find enough people for the scheme to be successful.

I recommend doing it in GLSL. It's very little effort to implement (about 30–50 lines of code) and even on a modest GPU it'll run fast enough so you can explore different parameters interactively. As a bonus, you can get MIP-mapping for basically free — no more aliasing!

In case you don't want to learn OpenGL or Vulkan, you can use a tool such as Shadertoy.
Amen, brother. Corporations are allowed a charter for the public good in return for their privileges. Somehow the human species has lost track of this obvious thing.

I don't bookmark everything (though I have 6000 bookmarks there) but if I read an interesting article about, say, bioinformatics and it was something to do with Japan, I could hit up Delicious for articles+bioinformatics+japan and 9 times out of 10, be reconnected to content that Google would struggle to find given the same terms.
