Through a proof of waste of limited resources system. Just spell it out and I’ll agree.

[edit: this isn't about the army. this is about currency. stay on track, stay on topic - both of those things can be bad and having two of them can be additively much worse; having a debate with you is like trying to grab a fistful of jello, absolutely impossible]
It's of little consolation having the price of your phone decline when the price of education, healthcare and a roof over your head have skyrocketed.

Even if that were not the case, it's abundantly clear that geometrically increasing consolidated economic power is being translated into consolidated raw political power (which is zero sum). The events of the last few months and history in general have proved that this is very, very dangerous.

We couldn't play flappy birds on a mini computer in our pockets in 1970, though, so I guess that makes all that r>g and compound interest accumulating in 0.1% pockets worthwhile.
Former car2go user (Minneapolis) here.

car2go makes you responsible for parking violations even days after you have ended your trip.

I was charged over a $150 for a supposed parking violation. In my case, I parked in a spot on Friday which has restrictions on Sundays. So you have to find a parking spot with no future restrictions on parking!

They have updated their literature since then... https://www.car2go.com/common/data/locations/usa/minneapolis...

but you can see what a nightmare following these rules could be especially since there are streets in Downtown Minneapolis where the parking restrictions change overnight based on sports or other entertainment events.
There are several systems for servers to provide "stapled" indications from a CA that a certificate has not been revoked as of a given date. And if you're accessing an offline system on an Intranet, you might want to use a pinned certificate, or a pinned internal CA.
The market cap is already much higher than that. The share count including granted options (dilluted) per the last availabe 10Q report is already at 1.1b. That translates to a market cap of 968 billion at today's share price of 880 USD.
Because we aren't monetizing the views, per se.

Since we're posting _updates_ rather than full articles, it's more like Twitter. We can display ads in between the updates -- something print newspapers used to (and still) do all the time. Then we just take the revenue share from any specific market, divide it up by the number of updates contributed, and go from there. It's not perfect, and we may still want to tweak, but the hope is that we can then incentivize lots of hard news reporting, and not "5 celebrities without makeup."
It doesn't google anymore and might be gone now, but back in the day there was an article on a bitcoin website which went through some math, arguing that Bitcoin could achieve 4000 transactions per second. People used to link to it on a regular basis.

Aside from that, people figured Moore's Law would continue at its historical pace, and Bitcoin could grow indefinitely at the same pace.
What the Twitter post asked for was doing things in a "fair, reproducible, and representative way", rather than just being correct most of the time.

I suspect the vast majority of the time the misinformation removal is accurate as well. People tend to post the same dumb stuff over and over.
"You disagree with the author, in short, about whether the result of shooting someone with any particular caliber of handgun is consistent and predictable."

No, I merely don't trust that story! It is literally incredible. Human memory is fallible, conflatable, and we often confabulate unconsciously. Were you to provide a citation then I could research it. Perhaps you will remember the author or title after some pondering.

Your AP English classes were not wasted - you're a distractingly excellent writer. But please put down the red fish; you are among friends here (I think).
Despite the hatred among typophiles, Comic Sans managed to become an ubiquitous font.

I think that we must look beyond the dogma/bigotry and try to understand the popularity of the font.

Its fun personality has been mentioned in several posts in the comments, but comicsanscriminal.com ironically offers another major argument in favor of the font: its legibility.

Comic Sans is popular at elementary school and among dyslexic people because it is easier to read for them. Even though non-dyslexic adults are better at deciphering other fonts, I wouldn't be surprised if the attentional/cognitive load for reading Comic Sans was lower that what's needed for any of the so-called "better" fonts.

This could be scientifically tested easily.
Innovations are not necessarily a risk
Email from Google recruiters went to my gmail spam. I had to whitelist @google.com, which I thought was pretty silly.

I know it's a popular domain to spoof, but you'd think that at least with @google.com they could do a quick validation step!
His blog seems to have JUST been rehosted by somebody. I got pingbacks on DBMS2 from it, with the new post dates, yesterday. It also looks quite different than it did before.

I miss Dan. One of the nicest guys in the industry.
Dan was the guy at Symbolics most commonly tasked with making me believe Symbolics would succeed. He succeeded at the task. I forgave him.
I'm not sure what the first paragraph in the article states. The part I'm having trouble with is: most discovered software flaws requiring security updates and notifications. Does that mean that Google Chrome fixed the most bugs, or were the most bugs found in Google Chrome?

If it was the former, Google is being shown in a positive light and they don't have any sort of "dubious distinction", and if it was the latter, then Google has an explanation for that. Lots of bugs are found in Chrome since Google pays developers a lot of money to find bugs in Chrome (not really sure about the others).

From the same site: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2010/110110-google-offers-b...
If you have third party scripts on your page, you've already given away control of your page. A compromise on the third party's servers makes your site vulnerable as well. The safe thing to do is to fetch third party content server-side, massage it and then pass it on to your front end.

Naturally, this requires more work, and you'd probably end up getting rate limited since all API requests now come from a single IP (your server's) rather than each user's IP.

Alternately, you can iframe third party scripts (or depending on privacy requirements, you may need to double-iframe them), but this means that the script cannot directly interact with content on your page.

Trade-offs everywhere, which is why the architect of your system really needs to know what he or she is doing.
"Accessible" should be the default, not an option. The file menu being present should be the default, not an option.

As someone who helps the elderly with their computers, I can only tell you that changing the UI ought to be done only if you have a very, very good reason, and it should be gradual.
Default in linux is read()/write() and be blocked. Doing async is a lot more work and until relatively (to NT timelines) recently quite limited (select).

On NT the standard way is async, and doing things in the block-and-wait way is abnormal and unusual.

Defaults matter. Because that's what most people will do.
Author of comment here. No it wasn't stated as whataboutism. It was stated with the intent to highlight that Facebook uses Pinkerton so perhaps Facebook also has very deep concerns about union organising also. Especially as Pinkerton is historically well known for this sort of counter activity.
Yeah, I wish people defined what they meant.

The word capitalism has a different connotation than it used to have about 50 years back.
From some simple experiences with recording my desktop to a mp4 file I've found the delta compression to be extremely efficient when there is only a little motion. Perhaps still a deal killer, true.
A lot of people are replying to point out that this demonstrates the judge is technically illiterate like that's a bad thing. I think it's a good thing. This is how a normal person perceives this feature and the fact that it doesn't work as advertised is a failure of communication, implementation, or both. In my experience most technically illiterate people, when common tracking techniques are explained to them, are appalled and creeped out. There's a growing disconnect between what we in the industry consider acceptable and what the non-technical public would consider acceptable.

And yes, it's especially galling that when you use one Google product in a mode that's supposed to be private another Google product still tracks you.
>Why is overthinking and ruminating an extension of rationality?

Because it's a trait will all too often see associated with people touting their "rationality"...

>Overthinking is a departure from rationality rather than an example of rationality

If you redifine rationality to exclude overthinking then yes, but you're cheating.

You can be totally rational and overthinking, with perfectly good, all the more elaborate arguments...
I didn’t say that; that’s not me. And I gave an intermediate option for using a ‘tertiary education if any kind’ stat.
We are all shopping online more than ever and will continue to in 2021. So, there is no doubt that it is incredibly beneficial addition to any brand to capitalise from the new Instagram shopping feature.
What’s your deal against someone blogging? It helps others learn about the company, and the public perception might cause management to things they thought they could put off
It’s true people don’t individually spend a lot of time per interaction, but in country soon to hit 100 million touch screen cars, that’s easily millions of hours of distracted driving per year.

For a general risk comparison it’s percentage of time people are drunk driving x drunk risk vs percentage of time they interact with these devices x device risk. So, figuring out had bad things are during use is a very important factor.
Probably more likely they are just ignoring it.

In 2018 influenza killed around 61,000 people (46000-95000 95%UI) in the USA. Estimated 45,000,000 people got sick. 21,000,000 people made hospital visits with around 810,000 people hospitalized.

So it didn't fling the USA into a recession. Business continued as normal.

For Italy you had 7,027 deaths for the '13-'14 flu season, 20,259 '14-'15, 15,801 '15-'16, and 24,981 '16-'17.

So why does ~25,000 deaths one year goes practically unnoticed, yet less then 5,000 deaths send the economy into a death spiral and the government to essentially strip all rights from the population?

It's not like if people just continued with business as usual the death toll would be unusually high. I fully understand why you want to slow the spread of the disease... but if ultimately if 70-90 thousand people die in the USA and 30-40 thousand people die in Italy.. it wouldn't even be that unusual or extreme. It would just be a slightly higher then average people die from just run of the mill every year seasonal disease.

It's the same reason why although terrorism killed 25 people in the USA in 2019 and was all over the news and people freaked out, and caused panic attacks, and calls for legislation and.. so on and so forth. Yet bee/hornet attacks killed around 60-90 people in the same time period and nobody, except close family members and friends of the victims, gave two shits.

It's the novelty, strangeness, and uncertainty that causes a massive reaction. And it is the response that is causing damage to the economies, society, and destroying people's lives. Not the disease. Not yet. Maybe it will, but that is far from certain.

In other words...

The reason it's not a big deal in Japan has nothing to do with how many people get sick or die or inherent vulnerability to the sickness. The median age of a person in the USA is 38. The Median age of a person in Japan is 46. This is a massively older population and there is a limit to how much a healthy lifestyle really makes in fighting disease.

The real reason it's not a big deal in Japan is because they choose to not make it a big deal.
Oh man. The girl I'm seeing just came back from traveling to Peru for spring break last week. She said she hasn't been able to smell for about a week, and most of the others in her group are reporting the same symptom.
Really interesting use of force touch, not sure if the repo is meant to be public already, would suggest you add a README with a short description of the project, installation instructions and so on. Best of luck!

Anybody who feels too nerdy/well actually/cold/disconected because of his too much thinking,

everybody who sees that they miss the holistic forest for rationaly thinking about the trees,

everybody who destroyed their life because of their higher IQ given ability to rationalize all kinds of BS with smart arguments,

would answer yes...
Sure, tools. But given billions of desperate hungry people weapons may be apt.
Fair points from both responders. Project Word Only aborted!
It doesn't make any sense to mod this down. It's a real issue.
Sounds good. I built a Sinatra app that helps me build out the newsletter each week. It works pretty well, but I have a lot of tweaks I want to play with. I couldn't do it without it though.

I don't understand this obsession for backlit keyboards I've been reading about a lot lately on forums. It definitely looks nice but its just a battery drain and I assume most HN people don't look at their keys. I always keep mine off for the sake of my battery.
Sorry, this might be a dumb question but what do you mean by "oldskool" phone?
I've been a Gumroad user(consumer not creator) for a long time and remember the whole VC situation. At the time, I feared it might be the end of the service. I'm glad it wasn't. A lot of people want companies like Google or Tesla, however, my honest goal in life is to have a company like Gumroad.
Defaults matter. There’s a huge difference between starting an account with a complex password and then the user intentionally weakens it, vs starting with a weak password with a note saying “pretty please change it”. It’s obvious that some set of users will not change it, so it’s better to start in a default secure state than an insecure one.

And yes, sometimes security and UX conflict, and users just need to deal with it.
I tend to think that the business model of a cable news room is pretty fundamentally broken.

Insofar as you value investigative journalism or pieces with some depth, you will be disappointed by organizations that host ESPN style shout fests, but they're produced for exactly the same reasons.

It's cheap to make garbage filler content. When you see that all of the channels are deeply flawed, it's because they're incentivized to be flawed in exactly the way that they are.

Curiously, John Oliver (say what you will about his biases) has found a way to fund real investigative journalism. This marks an interesting counterpoint to the 24 hour news room which extends what comedy central (daily show etc) had begun
Fox News was created to have enough control over media to prevent a Nixon-like event ever happening to the GOP again.

The context is chat channels, your hypothethical sounds like it would make for a weak retroactive excuse for a poorly considered name.
Someone should find that student's advisor and inform him of his student's dealings...

To put it bluntly, any university willing to give a PhD to a physics student who actually believes this is real should lose it's accreditation based on this fact alone.
It would be hash startup, not pound startup. Have you ever spoken an IRC channel name before?
Yes but in a limited way, the rules says you are allowed to load your savegame in dmute to find the location of the necessary items that are random.

So you can start a number of games and check the location of those items until you get one that suits you and play that game, which usually leads to finishing the games in a few hours.
Muprhy's law in action
I think Microsoft feels it needs to provide a better browser because the popular alternative is controlled by their competitor. Chrome itself does its best to make sure you get pulled into the Google ecosystem - you need a Google account just to use the sync feature. On top of that, when you switch Chrome to its full-screen Windows 8 app mode (for touch screen support, etc.) it basically turns into a clone of Chrome OS:

SSL is classified "in the public domain" as defined by the Wassenaar Arrangement and as such is not subject to export restrictions. The question remains if Apple honors this in their notoriously arbitrary review process, but as far as I can tell SSL is safe.

He's still correct. Even with IE, you just learn how to deal with it and you move on with your life.
Actually to few designers do ux and vice versa.
Shouldn't this read, what are the Android "Force Kill"(er) apps?
The back-and-forth potshots that faculty members take at each other in the Chronicles comments are even more insightful than the original article. The Chronicle moderators had to go so far as to delete follow-up comments. That's... eye opening.
the definition of open: "mkdir android ; cd android ; repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make"

That should handle it.
Maybe. You need 256 bits for all the possible chars, and this solution is perhaps a little less intuitive. Also, the shift + and + cmpz is not necessarily going to be significantly faster than an address lookup + cmpz because of the latency of getting the array from memory or cache. Though it will use less cache space compared to the size of modern caches that's not enough of a win to matter much I would guess.
None of OP's criteria for unfollowing/muting people was them saying things they disagree with.

It's the difference between not watching NBA games because you're not interested in basketball, and refusing to watch the local news because "they have a (left|right) bias".

There is more content out there competing for your attention than you have time in your life to consume it. Rather than letting twitter's default algorithm feed you the most "engaging", OP is saying a more mindful approach works for them.
Future-proofing is a good use case though. As a developer I don't want to maintain both SSE and WebSockets, since they solve similar problems and WebSockets are a superset of SSE. Even though my WebSockets implementation is currently unidirectional (server to client), I still opted for that over SSE because I'll probably need send data the other way at some point in the future. Why learn two tools when I can just learn one?

Can you define to me what you mean by that?
I find VirtualBox a pretty good solution for a lot of stuff. What’s wrong with it?
>...services like ProtonMail which is a good step, but doesn't let you use your own master key without uploading it, which complicates things if you require the highest level of security.

That might be a little misleading. Protonmail allegedly encrypts the secret key when it is stored on their server:

This updated maiden flight target follows the recent Space Force decision to not select New Glenn for the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Or, we don't really have a customer.
The only flights I'm aware of that fly NYC-LCY are the BA flights that are all business. The nice thing is that you get to pre-clear immigration in Shannon, Ireland but unfortunately I'm not quite important enough to demand $10k flights.
This may be tangential, but it's been on my mind for awhile, so I was hoping to get your thoughts. If it's slightly offtopic, I apologize.

It doesn't seem like you can regulate BTC, and the reason is because of something unexpected: arbitrage.

(To be clear, you can create a regulated exchange, but that doesn't really help you. I'll explain why.)

When exchange A's price is different from exchange B's, that represents an opportunity. As the difference grows, that opportunity becomes more lucrative. That's why, at any given time, all exchanges are at roughly the same price.

But that means if one exchange is playing by some bad rules, or is acting in a shady way, like the behavior described in https://willyreport.wordpress.com/, then that directly affects every other exchange.

So unless all exchanges are playing by the same rules, having a single "safe" exchange won't save you. One exchange's shadiness will always affect every other exchange.

Whether this is a fatal flaw is a separate question. I don't think it is, but it seems hard to know.

What do you think? It seems true, but perhaps I'm overlooking something obvious.

Also, this is strictly about price manipulation. It's probably true that no amount of bad behavior at exchange A can result in a catastrophic failure of exchange B. But one question I've been trying to figure out the answer to is: does price manipulation even matter?
http://www.pythonchallenge.com/ - Gamified way to learn Python, but is a puzzle in addition to being a game. Is not exclusive to Python, but many things are intended to be solved with things that are idiomatic in Python.

www.checkio.org - Looks more like a game, but the programming environment feels more "in-your-face" than elevator saga to me.
To substantiate your point: Essentially, quantum computing is useful for problems that could take help from a large degree of parallelization. Quantum mechanics has an inherent parallelization at it heart. Otoh, simulating that amount of parallelization with classical resources will be exponentially complex.
Yeah, but all the popular bytecode engines end up being versioned anyway. I don't doubt that bytecode would allow for adding some syntactic sugar without upgrading the browser engine, but so does JS-to-JS compilation, which is available today, even on IE6. And if people really wanted those features, wouldn't there be tons of objective-j programmers?
the news is that this happen by accident :)

i expect that if my phone is ever lost or stolen, and the IT guy find someone bruteforcing some email password, that they will call and check if it's me or not before wiping my personal phone.

The warning always say "if phone is lost". it never mention "if you forget your password" or anything. that's a huge difference for the average joe to understand... hell, even the guy that writes xkcd got locked out of his android phone one day playing with the lock pattern!
"people learn best when they are actively engaged with a topic"

"Education involves a transmission of knowledge/information from someone who is bigger and older"

These seem mostly orthogonal to me... the latter just being a generalization of (anecdotal) experience.
Could not agree more with cookiestack. The inspiration is quite clear and not giving any credit to what influenced your work is somewhat surprising. Especially given the fact that this is supposed to be a job application.
It's simple, secure, stable, allows for group chat, notifies you if the message was received or not, and is pre-installed on BlackBerries so everyone with a BlackBerry has it.
