Do you need a hug? Seems like you are a little stressed by this thread.

According to the documents posted, the poker sites in question are attempting to get around the legalities of U.S. citizens placing monetary wagers or bets on international gambling sites. This would be an intentional circumvention of the law.

The example I posted in regards to Pachinko parlors circumventing their local laws by allowing people to trade in fake token prizes for cash is an example of people circumventing their local law.

There is nothing wrong with bartering or the barter system - and it is perfectly legal in it's intended use, but it can be used to circumvent other laws and would be illegal based on the legal definition of intent. As for the government stealing assets illegally - yeah that's wrong. Confiscation of these .com's bothers me a great deal - but that wasn't the topic I was replying to.

I am not an "ignorant government "educated" american" - and while my self education in legal matters may very well be off at times, I am able to think critically and be reasonable in what I do and don't know.

The problem is, that you are unable to have a conversation with someone that may be right or wrong on a topic - and it might not always be right that you can convince someone of the true nature of matters even if you are right. That doesn't mean you can act like an asshole - which you are. You don't know me, and because of one statement you are more than willing to blame everything you conceive as wrong on someone like "me". Get off your pedestal and learn to have a civil conversation - it's an awesome trait to have.
You're right maybe it can't be done universally. But you could add an optimizer to a production build system which rewrites any instance of:

window.Library.util.add()

To:

var window_Library_util_add = window.Library.util.add;
window_Library_util_add();
That is true to a degree. I agree with what abstractbill says, that libraries are the dominant factor in most people's language choices (after familiarity of course).
It's a fallacy, rather than a special case, because causality isn't commutative.

1. "If my code is secure, then I can't break it. (P → Q)

2. "If I can't break my code, then it is secure." (Q → P)

Concluding 2 from premise 1 falsely assumes (P → Q) → (Q → P). For more info, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirming_the_consequent

I'm at 264,500. And yes, it's about as terrible as you'd imagine.
Maybe they have support tiers? Every time I created a support ticket I got a response within an hour from a technical person. Their support responds much faster than AWS in my experiences.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are working on it and we will address the issues as soon as possible :)
Thanks for the feedback! It's a new concept and we have a ways to go to get better at explaining it. Easiest to just try :)

We're experimenting with dictation that keeps the audio, allows you to format it in a way that can be read (or used by other systems... like project management tools or CRM). You built up notes ad tasks with lots of little grabs. Like writing, you talk in bursts.

Keeping the audio means you don't have to worry as much about transcription errors or misunderstood tone. You can be very fast and casual - unlike written - and the audio is a safety net.

Voice recording takes a little getting used to, a lot of execs currently record voice memos for their EA... who then have to type it into something useful.

We hope to make this behaviour accessible to everyone, because it's fast and kind of amazing when it works.
But wouldn't there still be a lot of savings for not having a human and all the controls that come with it - and maybe some more flexibility in design?

It sounds like they are looking for air-to-air replacement?

Not caring bombs saves a lot of weight and size.

Hell maybe even just do what terrorists have learned and make cheap kamikaze drones which are really fast and simply blow up.
The Right to Read is coming closer each day. Almost nobody cares. It seems like an increasing number of technical people want that future to happen. It fills me with immeasurable sadness. I am having a really hard time coming to terms with the fact that computers aren't "for" me anymore.
You think big finance is shorting ETFs with a combined value in the trillions to put downward pressure on GME stock price?

A lot of this is just the contrarian dynamic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20101711. The thread now has a bunch of curious, enthusiastic comments, just like most HN threads on cool projects eventually get.

The trouble with an indignant anti-crap comment is that it amplifies the crap it's objecting to. Usually it gets upvoted to the top, since people love defending the unfairly criticized and everyone loves indignation. But then it sits there, choking interesting discussion with meta fumes. (I've marked this one off topic now.) Crap subthreads usually get moderated by users, but that doesn't happen with their anti-crap counterparts.

Better ways to combat crap are to (a) downvote and flag, or (b) post something interesting and on-topic. Also, when you notice that a thread is still dominated by the negative wave, sending a heads-up to hn@ycombinator.com is helpful. We're likely to see it sooner that way.
In 1997 in the suburbs of Chicago, a book with a CD was the only reasonable way for me to get linux... By that time I "had the internet" but it was 33.6Kbps dial up, beginner resource pages were lacking (so a book to teach me was nice), and downloading a full linux distro was going take to way too long (so CD was the way to go). Particularly as a 17 year old without a credit card to order CDs online from one of the early, untrusted, online merchants.
Step eight: Get to know Ripley.
Anticheat was still a thing in the old days, even when it was something the admins had to manually install (PunkBuster for some games, I think?) or at least not opt out of (VAC). So, at least at the time, many admins saw it as desirable despite their own existence.
Developers naturally has the freedom to choose where and on what they want to focus development time on, through I would not discount 32-bit machines as computers that should by now have died and be discared, especially in the server space which is what RMS is talking about during that 8-9m mark. A old 1U rack server is perfectly fine to operate as a router, a firewall, a logging server, a message bus, secondary backup (ie the server that simply get copies from the primary backup server) or some other low intensity work that is preferable done on a separate physical machine. If you work at a company that owned many of those you also have plenty of spares in case some essential old parts breaks down. You don't need a 256 core epic server with a 1TB of ram.

I suspect most kernel developers mostly operate with virtual machines in mind, but as a sysadmin I would argue that physical machines also has their use cases. I also suspect that if the linux kernel stop supporting 32-bit machines, others will continue. Are the BSD people thinking about dropping 32-bit support?
This is more writing of the kind that draws excessively far-reaching conclusions from little data.

Wikipedia, as an open project, is just as susceptible to "groupthink" as any other. This certainly causes issues, possibly like the one highlighted here (though it's difficult to figure out what the actual complaint is in this case).

But it's not possible to draw the conclusion that "Wikipedia can't be saved" on this basis. Broadly speaking, Wikipedia seems like a fantastic resource that is still growing in useful ways. The fact that it has problems doesn't really mean it can't be saved, and this conclusion seems like overblown nonsense.
> Unfortunately, resource/machine efficiency alone does not sell well...

Surprising because one of the driving forces behind accelerating adoption of on-demand IaaS and various PaaS like Serverless is that too many expensive server resources lay idle. According to James Hamilton, chief Data Center architect at AWS, server utilisation remains very low (10%–15%) despite servers being the most dominant cost of building and running a data center (which is to say, folks pay through their nose for servers yet those are under-utilized by a huge margin) [0]

You do understand that clearing and central banking are a tiny, tiny fraction of the financial system, far from "full stack"? And even further, a fraction that contributes surprisingly little to money supply, the said main benefit of bitcoin? To be really clear, if you just swap central banks and swift with bitcoin, you lose almost completely the control of money supply! (A bitcoin deposit to a bank would surely be counted as money as well.)

Monero has been shown to not be completely anonymous on more than one occasion despite the claims. It's not as safe as people say. It's better than bitcoin in that respect though.

The problem with that is that getting interrupted with an instant message isn't usually as bad as getting interrupted in person: I always turn all the IM notifications down to a minimum and so the only change will be a new color on the icon which I tend to notice in a couple minutes.
Looks interesting until I see that it's $499 in the US and $945 (£639) in the UK. Why!

Edit: Was looking at the Surface Pro 3, the standard Surface is only ~$620. Not too bad I guess.
You got me there. My point, as you no doubt know, was that they're advertising a low headline price and then jacking it up with 'optional' extras that provide core functionality.
In some cases it works (beyond the multiple choice quizzes). In the algorithm courses I took, you have to implement a algorithm, and input a number that proves the implementation is correct. For example, on a graph with, say, 500,000 nodes, what are the sizes of the five largest strongly connected components. This is impossible to guess.

I also did a course with peer grading of one assignment (the Financial Markets course from Yale). It actually worked surprisingly well. You asses 5 other students' 300-word summary of a paper (based on 3 fixed questions). I didn't think it would work, but I've changed my mind.

Mind you, cheating is still a problem (e.g. somebody posts the correct answer online).

And, an even bigger problem is proving that you completed the course, not somebody else.
I mentioned in another part of this thread, the payment page as shown on the blog entry does not indicate that my CC# is stored with Stripe, rather from all appearances it appears to be stored with Kickstarter.

Now having read this thread I get that in fact Stripe is storing it, but if I hadn't read the responses to my initial post, I'd just assume Kickstarter was asking to store my CC# which I wouldn't agree to.

So, NRCS is a division of the USDA focused heavily on conservation. I know this from experience because we have some of our land in a conservation program through NRCS, and they’re super knowledgeable about native ecosystems.

Been a while since I've read them but I recall there was info about the FSB and northbridge, which no longer exist outside the CPU. They've been replaced by internal memory controllers and PCI-E controllers.

I mean, all that really matters is if your list of technologies matches up with what the company currently uses and what they would aspirationally like to use in the future.
+1 to the NRCS route. We went through them for our oak woodland and upland prairie restoration projects, and they have been really great to work with. They care a lot about the environment and have a lot of knowledge.
> If you have some person who did a lot of work in RoR, but you have a Py/Django project, couldn't you expect him to get up to speed reasonably quickly?

I wonder what is the average time for an experienced engineer to transition into a different, but similar technology (like RoR -> Django) and be able to work productively in it.

It can’t be very long. Maybe 2 weeks? If you had a number, you could calculate the costs as part of a standard onboarding process. You’d just need to make sure that you hire someone who can demonstrate a willingness to learn the new thing.

This seems like it could be much cheaper than hiring an expert with the most years of experience in the particular combination of technologies in your stack, without compromising on quality.

And the perspective from someone with a breadth of knowledge is more likely to yield innovations that provide your company/project with a competitive advantage, compared to the expert that has been working on the same thing for many years.

Of course there’s fundamental difference between all those things you’re describing, and you’re arguing in dishonest way if you pretend not to see it.

I’m not arguing there aren’t bad uses of advertising, or bad channels to do it. I’m arguing this is very complex space that you cannot just simplify to few anecdotes and claim that based on it proves it’s detrimental to society and should be destroyed. There’s no point in continuing this conversation, bye.
Counting deaths is an invalid way of looking at the impact of terrorism. The whole point of terrorism is to impose s greater mental impact than physical one.

Now you can say that people should be more rational and not care more about 17 people killed in car accidents than the same killed in the Charlie Hebdo attacks. But they do.
I believe Paper is only available on the US App Store as well as being iOS only. So it isn't surprising it's not well known.
The QB64 community is aware of FreeBASIC, but a big feature of QB64 is that you can literally drop QBasic code into QB64 and it will work without any modifications. This won't work at all for FreeBASIC, it's much to far away from QBasic. FreeBASIC is still a nice language, but it does have different goals then QB64.
The forces you describe have been in effect for more than half a century, and during that time the actual damage we've seen from stateless actors has been miniscule compared to what has been visited on people by their own governments, governments that have been granted too much power out of fear.

We don't need more dragnet surveillance, we need courage and perspective. Yes, there is a possibility that a stateless actor could end the world. There's lots of other ways the world could end too.
This is really cool. Thanks for sharing that!
If you are looking for a fast/realtime lossless compression algorithm, you should prefer lz4 [1] or lzo [2].

DNS is never consistent, that is an explicit non-goal. You can also get a CNAME from last week pointing to a CNAME from 5 minutes ago pointing to a nonexistent hostname in a nonexistent zone. This feels very much like hammering on DNS to make it look like a bad copy of etcd or something.

Also, http(s) within SVCB is an ugly special case to be handled differently than other SVCB records. And one SVCB answer doesn't contain all you need. E.g. there is no intent to be a replacement to or consistent with TLSA entries, so you will still need to do mutiple queries. It just contains the ECH key, so it rather looks like a half-baked kludge to make ECH work somehow.
Add some dnssec and ipsec keys to the reverse-lookup zone and we have everything we need to authenticate the IP address.

Sigh.

No, you're missing the point. For one, DIY projects are great for learning. Secondly, unless you already have a way to earn money with that time, time spent on stuff like this is "worth" $0. You'd actually have more money in your pocket after DIY'ing it and spending a couple hours than you would clicking "buy" on Amazon.com and spending a couple minutes or so.

And, if you want to get really nitpicky, I'm pretty sure all those parts the author bought were also tested and warrantied by their respective manufacturers. And, show me a camera warranty that would be broken by using an adapter that's made for the card type the camera takes, anyway.

SMH.
I've worked as professional Unity developer for 8 years after learning it as a hobbyist for 3, and I'm happy to finally be rid of it. It's good for prototypes and beginners, sure. But when you start to build big projects, you learn that al those learning resources guide you towards using awful architectural practices, and that there's a million of edge cases and weird bugs that would absolutely kill your project but will stay unfixed for years.

Also, since ~2015, Unity as a company have been more and more interested in developing shiny prototypes of new features that would look great in presentations, but it would take forever to finally get them to be production ready, and they would be rid with problems even then. It's as if Unity cared more about increasing numbers of newcomers than retain old-timers and studios which already invested heavily into the engine.

But I have to be honest, if you're doing mobile 2d game development, want to ship a product on both operating systems and don't want to invest in building your own game engine, it is still the best option. There are other solutions, but none have such an incredible amount of tools and assets.

It genuinely shocks me that there are still people who don't disable sending the referer header cross-origin in the browser: I have not encountered a single website that breaks when setting `network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy` to 1 in Firefox, and only 2 or 3 sites that break when setting it all the way to 2.

It not only completely prevents stuff like this, it profoundly increases your privacy on the web by preventing sites from tracking which domain you came from. There is no good reason any site needs to know that. I am surprised that Mozilla hasn't simply made this the default setting for all users.
