If anyone would like to discuss this in a live chat I've posted it to Sqwok - https://sqwok.im/p/Qc6NbMulLuK5PA
Of course there was obstruction from Trump - he has the personality of a mob boss. That doesn't shock me. I'm talking about owning up to the fact that he legitimately won a fair election in 2016.
I don't think you know what the 4th word of your own sentence really means to the context of this situation.
Bit of a stab in the dark here, but are you sure the repo is enabled and you're getting updates? I just realized I was using an outdated version because Ubuntu disables third party repos when upgrading.
I don't have a horse in the game - but I feel this will only deepen the divide in US politics. Trump and his followers aren't going to disappear. They will be even more isolated in a new site/app they setup and without this level of public scrutiny. This is an impossible position for Twitter either way.
230 has a "Good Samaritan" portion. In simplest terms, if the platform does its best to remove illegal content, it's good. Parler is definitely not doing that.
The same amount killed from those two trump tweets
"As a result the brain changes, and integrates certain brain areas more into the default mode network. The idea that if one has high activation in a brain area a lot, then the structure will be changed."

In your review you cite cross-sectional research, not a longitudinal, within-subject effect of change with study/practice/learning. Therefore your conclusions should not be about change, but on group differences. Those difference might have arisen from the training, or pre-existed in those individuals that were more prone to study/practice/learn/meditate.

Post-Note: Sorry. As a developmental neuroscientist, you hit on a pet-peeve. Cheers.
On top of that, you have certain niche online communities that seem to only be on FB those days (the days of websites with discussion forums are long gone, sadly).

Also, some of my (smart) friends insist on using FB/Messenger for group messaging. I tried to convert them to Whatsapp a few years ago which IMO is way superior, but they still prefer Messenger (which I won't ever install, so I have to use FB web to keep in touch with them).

Whatsapp is now FB-owned, so lately we wanted to move our workgroup chat to Telegram, but one of coworkers boycotted the idea, because she has already a dozen different apps to keep in touch with her friends all over the world and she refuses to install yet another app.

The network effects and inertia are really hard to overcome.
Couldn't agree more. I also think that it's very easy for society to conflate genius and success. There are loads of folks I went to college with who, to me, were conventionally what I'd think of as geniuses. Extremely talented from a young age, remarkably fully formed, with a very well developed sense of intuition that many folks I've worked with will never achieve.

Regardless, ten years on, that doesn't always translate into self-awareness, happiness, or the ability to shape their lives into something fulfilling long term. For me, the early few years of my career were a very rude awakening of this sort, but once I accepted it, an entirely new world opened up to me. Ironically enough, not feeling the need to compare myself to someone who was a "genius" freed me to truly develop myself to a point I'd never be capable of when I was younger.
Some sites that I have seen that are well optimized and do well in terms of search traffic are funadvice.com and fanpop.com, and zimbio.com.

Maybe he didn't mean that the title is irrelevant from a SEO perspective (I don't think he meant that, it's hardly a closely guarded secret).

Maybe he doesn't think people tend to google for "breaking news" much.

Maybe he meant that ranking is great, but what if people don't click your jabberwocky title because it's confusing.

Just sayin'.
Mixergy has had some good interviews about how sites have built communities over time. As I recall, the interview with the founder of wallstreetoasis.com spent a lot of time talking about techniques he used to build his community from nothing. It might be worth checking out.
I probably should have made myself clearer, but I was referring to the modern standard of notation, which if I am not mistaken, is indeed largely the same as what you would find dating back to the 17th-18th centuries, i.e. several hundred years ago. A more instructive comparison, in this regard, would be between the Messiaen you linked and Bach's Well Tempered Clavier.

Yes, I'm familiar with the experimentation with notation of 20th century composers such as Xenakis, Cage, Stockhausen, etc, but they're beside the point (no offense to you or Xenakis, I happen to like his work). Their music is obscure and inaccessible to a great deal of Westerners, even many of those who could ordinarily be considered "musically literate", and few of these modern, experimental forms of notation, to my knowledge, have caught on in a way that's comparable to the popularity of even an "obscure" or "academic" computer language such as Haskell. There have been and always will be exceptions, not to mention music that falls outside the realm of Western tradition entirely, but you have to admit that the umbrella of expression that fits the modern standard of notation is pretty wide.

The point to take away, I think, is that once a standard came into common use that allowed composers to convey enough relevant information about the music they were creating, innovation in notation became a lot less important, for quite a long time. By a similar token, while English has of course been constantly evolving throughout its history, as all languages do, standard English orthography hasn't changed much in the last few hundred years either. You don't need a new kind of staff or notehead to represent chromaticism vs. baroque counterpoint, any more than you need new letters of the alphabet in order to write words and phrases that no one has ever heard before, in dialects that didn't exist at the time Walt Whitman wrote "Leaves of Grass", or what have you. As long as you're talking about notes over the chromatic scale, time and key signatures, common rhythmic subdivisions, and so on, you can notate whatever it is you like.

In any case, the point I was making earlier in the thread is that this seems fairly different from the development of computer languages, and I think that a lot of it has to do with the inherent nature of computer languages as tools of abstraction that extend beyond the merely representational. Hence the comparison with musical instruments – in my view, code is more like a hammer than it is a book.
HDMI Output, SD Card slot, and the change in the power supply (no more brick)
I think the HDMI is what kicks it up, along with an updated gfx card.

I wonder if I'm the only one who saw that, didn't read the article, and thought "Did some stoner just hack HN?"
I realize that’s sarcasm but why exactly would that not be a reason to increase the price?
That's interesting to think about. The natural solution that first pops into my mind is to teach them emotional maturity, or in other words 'make them grow up', at an early age. Responsibility or 'rise to the challenge' type trauma. (of course, it's really not something that can be easily 'taught' in a structured way)

Today, that doesn't happen much, but centuries ago I'm sure it did, which makes me wonder if people like David Farragut were humanity's Alexes of the past.
In chess, constant progress is made in opening theory. Thus it is entirely plausible that today's players really are significantly better than those of 1979.
How does it run?
As they should be IMHO. Introducing free into a business relationship of any kind is a good way to disappoint people without knowing why (e.g. "That was free last time, why did it cost this time" or "I felt disappointed at result X, why wasn't it free?").
The good news at least, is that the Nexus 6 seems unaffected by whatever this is (and may in fact be at the core of this). Nexus 6 shipped with 5.0.1 and I'm not aware of any Nexus 6 owners seeing this problem (when running stock 5.0.1). It's mostly the pre-5.0 android phones that are having this problem when upgraded to 5.0.1, so my guess would be that it either doesn't happen with a stock (from scratch, not upgrade) install of 5.0.1, or else it's some difference between the hardware/firmware in Nexus 6, and every other Android phone.
Try to reproduce the analysis published in a paper when all you have is a matlab script with one letter variable names and zero comments :)
The media player Canola from Nokia's Brazilian labs uses EFL and Python to provide a friendly finger full-screen UI on old N8x0s (whose Maemo 4 UI with GTK+/Hildon and a stylus I find uncomfortable).

I find it highly plausible that EFL is a nice foundation for a mobile phone touch UI.

(Just sad that work on Canola seems to have stopped, and their Git server was permanently overloaded when I tried)
like texty but from firefox and safari too right?
I sometimes upvote comments halfway through reading, but I don't do that with articles.

(I confess I upvote only a very few articles)
I'll openly admit to it. The comments on Hacker News are more valuable than the link itself. I will upvote a link with a good discussion often without ever reading the article.
A great resource!

If you don't have time to peruse it in depth, they have a 8.5 minute video which runs through 1000 sequences. It starts out a little slow, but some of the later examples are quite bizarre.

Was going to say much the same - other mail servers will retry failed sends for several days.

Setting up the basics is relatively straightforward, but I found it tricky to setup TLS correctly for SMTP and IMAP, and DKIM and SPF were horrible to configure and get working right!

I've been running my own mail server for 15 years or so - I really wish Mail In a Box had existed back then!
Underrated comment; Pages is a page-layout program. I've used Pages '09 for professional work (system architecture, audits, etc.) and it could do things that Word simply could not. Capabilities-wise, it felt closer to InDesign.

Then in the next version, Apple dumbed it all down with the "panel"-style UI so it had similar UX to the iOS and web versions. It lost features. It got many of them back over the years, but that design move really broke my workflow for a while. I just kept Pages '09 around until the new version had parity, more or less.

It really does work well. I got used to my Office-using colleagues asking, "how'd you do that?!" Downside is you are in a bubble and cannot round-trip documents without losing the really good layout stuff.
I went to school with one of the people mentioned in the Twitter screenshot “Cassidy Williams”. She behaves like the professional athlete equivalent. She’s a fairly talented engineer, with very very strong soft skills. As such she’s been a developer evangelist since graduation hopping jobs, gaining followers, etc.

She’s a great role model for women in the field.
How are you different from other products that provides OCR as a service, object detection as a service, etc?
They probably are hiring only the best machine learning, cloud-native engineers fresh out of university who have never heard of lynx and now the institution doesn’t even realize it broke support for it.
Those laws are just further examples where the powerful have shielded themselves at our expense. Corrupt cops and public officials have more to hide than you and I do, so they have more to fear from being recorded.
Ah, my comment was not particularly about this book. It was just a general assessment of how pricing may be a barrier for useful and practical books to a larger set of audience. And a little bit of thinking out loud if there was a viable solution to it.
I feel a lot of government laws and process discussion is better served at the state and local level. A law that makes sense in NYC but can actually be harmful at less populated areas shouldn't be created at the federal level. I think a lot of people huge cities don't consider how laws will affect people who don't live in huge cities when discussing federal level laws.
It's analogous to the "should you listen to parents or childless people on the topic of parenthood/children issues". Parents are strongly biased, but they also know much more about the issue.

Or: when seeking driving advice, would you reject a priori the opinions of professional drivers, just because they're not representative of the general population? You would be justified in rejecting their views when considering your marketing strategy. Which kind of makes me think that a lot of reasons for pushing the "devs are not representative users" thought aren't about how to best serve users.
Pagination and loading as you scroll is a hack..

I've written software using virtual lists in languages from VB6 to React. They're not a hack; they've been a staple of UI libraries for decades.
More important than any of the advice in TFA is: know when to leave. Most of my regrets are for staying someplace longer than was wise.

Yeah but now you dont even have to leave the house to stock up on chef boyardi and prepare for the rapture.
Are you virtue signaling?
Every single person writing a comment on Hacker News should have to memorize this rule:

Never use code formatting for text, as it makes it unreadable on the mobile devices.

For my own (and others') convenience, here is unformatted rule table from parent comment:

GET - Return the current value of an object, is idempotent;

PUT - Replace an object, or create a named object, when applicable, is idempotent;

DELETE - Delete an object, is idempotent;

POST - Create a new object based on the data provided, or submit a command, NOT idempotent;

HEAD - Return metadata of an object for a GET response. Resources that support the GET method MAY support the HEAD method as well, is idempotent;

PATCH - Apply a partial update to an object, NOT idempotent;

OPTIONS - Get information about a request, is idempotent.
You vastly overestimate solar power. There’s no way you’ll get an appreciable charge on your Tesla battery using solar panels. It’s enough to run things in your trailer, but no way will you charge a Tesla in any reasonable time. I suppose if you are stranded with no way to charge you could get enough to go somewhere after a few days of constant charging, but that’s an emergency situation.
This part of India is basically SE Asia so maybe you are both right.
The above commenter wrote that hate speech was illegal. This is not correct. I'm not sure what you think I'm missing here. The bar for speech to be inciting imminent lawless action is pretty high:

> Portions of the rally were filmed, showing several men in robes and hoods, some carrying firearms, first burning a cross and then making speeches. One of the speeches made reference to the possibility of "revengeance" [sic] against "Niggers," "Jews," and those who supported them.

This was determined to be protected speech under the First Amendment.
There should be an option for deleting many objects. For that, you have to do a POST request on AWS S3:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_DeleteOb...

Instead of polluting existing method names to mean new things, HTTP could offer more method names.

Having POST alternatively mean "send a command" makes it meaningless. The command could do anything.
It's an amalgamation of several crises. Homelessness, extreme surge in costs of living, poor healthcare (esp. for psychological problems), public toilets, opiate use, ... I guess such things always are. It's pretty much never a single cause.

Remembers me of mid-nineties Germany (where I've grown up) – in Munich (yes, Oktoberfest), Kindergarten teachers did rounds in the morning to clean up the fenced-in Kindergarten playground, remove the syringes the junkies left. In one of the better neighborhoods, too. Whole squares right in the city where hundreds of homeless did drugs with helpless police standing by. I remember being chased away from a playground in a well-off part of Bremen by an approaching mob of violent homeless junkies. Lots of refugees from the Balkan war, often in an absolutely desolate psychological state. That, too, was an amalgamation of lots of crises – reunification, economy doing poorly, a society built by the rules of Cold War, falling apart, war in the Balkans, huge reluctance to change the tiniest thing.

But Germany really turned things around. A lot of targeted action, lots of reforms, lots of small changes to how the social security net functions, a big invest in robust police services, somehow mostly without the Police violence issues the US have. There are some corner cases where the social services still fail to help, other than that, it's become relatively hard to stay homeless for long. In Munich, you really have to know where to look to find any homeless at all (Hofgarten at dusk; one particular river bridge.) Being poor isn't fun, and it's comparatively harder to get out of poverty (though the US seem to be catching up there.) It's easy and cost-neutral (i.E. part of mandatory insurance or covered by social security) to get help with mental health issues – no doubt that contributed. No opiate crisis to speak of (got lucky there).

A lot of money has been (and is being) spent on it though. It'll be interesting to see whether the US will do likewise, or find a way to make it work on a smaller budget, or simply fail to get things to improve.

Good "dictionaries" for doing on-line brute-force attacks don't just contain words, they contain likely passwords. Guidelines for choosing good passwords should point this out. For example, something like "J4fS!2" is a much much more secure password in terms of protection from on-line attacks than "letmein" or "chang3m3" or "tryandguessthis" or "password123" or "root!@#" or "b4ckm3upsc077y". All of those passwords are actual passwords taken from the list used by an SSH brute-force password cracker.

Because people aren't random when they choose words to remember (e.g. "beavisandbuthead" is also on that list), a better set of password-choosing directions would provide instructions one how to add some additional (pseudo-)randomness to passwords that are being created. The classic "pick a phrase, take the first letters + punctuation" method is one way to do that ("pap,ttfl+p" is a somewhat strong password), and it's not hard to think of other password generation schemes that also create strong passwords.
It's the semi-25th anniversary!
The problem of who decides what's good/bad for 'the state' immediately rears its ugly head. If the government can literally kill political enemies, the people are more likely to rebel. Like imagine if Russia actually executed that tycoon who funds the opposition (who they keep jailing for 'fraud'). At least the death penalty for murder is somewhat objective. Regardless, I think that type of judicial theory is a few methods short in the object factory to start with.
I've noticed a lot of discussion about the topic of sleep during the past months.

Am I the only one who believes we should maybe consider changing a few things in the way the whole thing works?

- A lot of people are clearly way more productive durring the night. I've seen this applying to coders and to people that need to write essays but I guess there are more categories that fit into this.

- We don't all need the same amount of sleep. My almost-60 years old father can work intensively for around 12 hours (he is a taxi driver in a place that's like hell during the summer months), then work a bit more relaxed for 5-6 more hours and only needs a few hours of sleep every night (usually 3 to 5). Now, compare this to me: I just can't function properly if I don't get at least 6 hours of sleep (and that's a rather positive number, I usually need around 10 to bet completely okay).

- And then, summer people have no standard needs and can live with one hour of sleep now, then a few hours of work, then some more sleep, and so on.

I am not able to suggest a particular new system of daily life but I think we should discuss the topic. Maybe less days with each day being bigger and two "cycles" of productivity at each?

Ok, let me respond a little more since I'm not on my iPad trying to peck out a response. Will try to get all of the questions answered in one shot here.

Why is it a ripoff? In my state (IL) it costs $250 annually to keep your LLC in good standing, while it costs $75 a year for an S-Corp.

Why is it a ripoff, reason number 2? When you form an LLC you have to spend lots of time with your lawyer hashing out things like what happens to the company when you die, if you have a partner the complexity of the operating agreement goes up exponentially. With a corp all of these things are already determined for you by a huge body of corporate law. With an LLC you are reinventing the wheel. Based on the original question this is a no-brainer for the poster, this alone is a big enough reason to scrap the LLC idea immediately.

Why is it a ripoff, reason number 3? The reason your tax guy is telling you it's a good deal is because of the pass through loss/profit which falls through to you. If you dig deep enough you will discover that an LLC really IS you for most purposes, especially if you own 100% of the shares. It is not a separate legal entity unless you have more than one shareholder (go look it up).

As far as complexity, that's bullshit. I would venture that 100% of the people who say this nonsense have no idea what you actually need to do in order to keep a corp in good standing. Yes, you need to have minutes of your annual meeting, even if it's something as simple as "the annual meeting was held over lunch and nothing of note was discussed". It is not rocket science, it's just scary when you're not familiar with it.

Now for the really big reason: if you make a profit with an LLC, you will pay self-employment tax. If you take profits with an S-corp it is dividend income (or share buybacks, etc). You WILL pay more taxes using an LLC than an S-corp simply because you have far less flexibility owing to the fact that the corp is a separate legal entity while that is an extreme grey area for an LLC. I strongly suspect this is why people are generally herded towards LLC's, simply because they are easier to track and tax than corps.

Your average CPA is useless when talking about these topics, they are used to talking about real estate tax deductions and dependents, not the intricacies of setting up a legal entity with the flexibility to deal with other legal entities, distribute shares, etc.
You don't need a US-based exchange for BTC, per se, as other currencies are traded on the open market and the brokers simply relay quotes to their customers via feeds they receive rom the banks. If the banks saw the potential to make money off of trading BTC, they'd make it happen.
If you think you see abusive behavior on HN, the place to let us know about this is hn@ycombinator.com. We'll take a look and get back to you.

It's not an appropriate story for HN, despite (or because of) the crack-like power of meta.
I imagine that they did think of this, but a good string hash takes time. So switching to 64-bits takes much less time, and it would work until they finished snowflake.
Might want to look at integrating this somehow.
