"What I'm saying is that his hacking was his hacking and his behaviour is his behaviour. His hacking doesn't excuse his behaviour for exactly the same reason that his behaviour doesn't devalue his hacking."

Unfortunately this is how I understood your previous posts.

"hey guys it's not wrong that you talk about his misdeeds but I wanted this post to be about glorifying Crunch. Anyone talking about his misdeeds is lame and not a hacker."

You linked to an article about John Draper, the person. You didn't link to EasyWriter or his other work. Now you're surprised when people talk about all aspects of Crunch instead of just one? No one devalued his work. Everyone was just warning of his behavior. Next time do a post on his work, not the person so others won't get confused.

"I am not responsible for your blood pressure."

I'm only human, not a machine. I don't appreciate your patronization either.
Interesting story but I hope it doesn't spread. Would suck if her family sees this and figures out it is her.
>Global automation of the gathering of personal data is much cheaper and much more useful (again, apparently).

And completely legal (from their perspective), whereas attacking foreign citizens gets into grey areas.
Nah, I need time to recover from this dismal failure and to reflect. Maybe next Tuesday.
I don't make $100K either. But together with my wife's income, we've still got it pretty comfortable. You don't need $100K to live comfortably.
Yes, typesafe config is an external library rather than using the built in interpreter. That is extra code.

If you wanted to do things in equivalent lisp style, you'd just compile a Config.java/Config.scala file and add it to the classpath. That's only a few extra lines in your ansible script. Your configuration will be statically typedchecked - failure to include a required parameter or including a param of the wrong type will result in a compile failure.

This is unconventional but a very reasonable way to go. At the moment I'm just using typesafe config because it's more or less the standard, but the more I think about it the more I like the idea of compiling my config.
Joe Public couldn't care less about where the image originated after he's seen it. By that point the damage has already been done.
Next time you come across a project documented solely in Lithuanian / Japanese / Swahili, I hope you will refer to http://ericholscher.com/blog/2014/feb/27/how-i-judge-documen... for insight.

English is the de-facto language of the Internet (let's not discuss here how damaging that is to English as a language in general). I strongly believe that public-facing software projects should be documented in English first and foremost, with translations to other languages added as resources allow.

I work for a small company in Quebec (that's the Canadian province that has a Language Police) - despite most of the team being Francophone, all our internal documentation and code docs are in English. Why would that be? Because everyone realizes, without ever really having discussed it, that it is the only efficient way to do it, if we want to collaborate with others, if we want to grow, if we want others to contribute, having everything in French would be creating unnecessary hurdles.
The state is not doing the bidding of entrenched interests. The state is just more comfortable with the status quo, and the entrenched interests take advantage of that.

When ascending in power, people are ambitious, and willing to stir things up. As soon as they reach a powerful position and don't think they will make it much further, they get lazy. They can still make and break businesses if they really wanted to, and they could get new revenue streams (campaign contributions, nepotism, etc.). But they are comfortable and lazy, so they won't.

When speaking with politicians, I doubt businesses make many demands. Politicians have expected contribution levels, etc., which are essentially demands. But I doubt businesses want make a demand, for fear that the politician will feel threatened and cease being lazy.

Instead, businesses feed on the laziness of politicians by offering to do all kinds of things like studies and research and authoring large portions of bills.
Oh, I thought you were joking but, no.

Murder rates are typically reported on a per capita basis, not per day rate.

Siri is reporting CHAZ had a population of 80(??) and Somolia a population of 15MM. The respective per capita rates would be 0.025 and ~3.99e-5
For a company that isn't very tech savvy (which may be the case for a company distributing so much papers around) dropbox provides the benefit of being dead-simple.
Same here. Since the betas actually.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_laundering

> Money laundering is the illegal process of concealing the origins of money obtained illegally by passing it through a complex sequence of banking transfers or commercial transactions. The overall scheme of this process returns the money to the launderer in an obscure and indirect way.
US Intelligence as well as several independent cyber security firms concluded the DNC e-mails were leaked after an attack by Guccifer 2.0. This was followed up by several indictments issued by Special Counsel Robert Mueller which would have to be tried in a federal courtroom were they ever to occur.

That seems to be a fair bit of evidence. Is everything a conspiracy now?

It’s quite clear Russia meddled in the 2016 elections, and they’ll probably do it again in 2020 (if they didn’t already do it again in 2018).
True! :) I first learnt of them years back on TV - think it was a Channel 4 (UK broadcast channel) documentary, in which they sent a British academic into somewhat hazardous situations. He walked underground along one of these tunnels. Haven't been able to find the documentary since, unfortunately.
This is super cool tech. But I can't help thinking that this shows that the Pixel camera lead must be someone with an engineering background who got nerd sniped by this problem because it's cool and hard to do. Someone with a product background would've focused on something less niche.

On the other hand, some people who like Google like it because it still sometimes works on geeky, cool, fun stuff instead of being super product focused.
Perhaps Los Angeles and Louisiana have a truce where neither one takes la.gov
I built a user management system circa 2001 that kept state across login and other events using the method you suggest. It even could save POST contents around a login.

I used it for a few web sites that cumulatively had 500,000+ members, open sourced it, didn't get any interest from anyone else. My system was mostly written in PHP, but the actual cookie handling module could be coded up in about 50 lines of code and I ported it to Perl, Java, Cold Fusion and a few other languages.

My viewpoint at the time was that user management was the central service behind a "portal" web site, that is, you would log into Yahoo once and what bound it all together was they you had one login. In contrast to "PHPNuke" which was one huge application that had half-baked implementations of different services, you could pick best of breed applications and tie them into the auth system.

At the time there was a lot of code reuse in terms of applications (WordPress) and there were a few proto-frameworks like Struts, but Ruby-on-Rails was the first web framework that was transformational.

User management libraries didn't catch on until federated login came along.

I think today people are often ignorant and wouldn't care a bit about user experience if somebody wasn't threatening that something awful was going to happen if their site wasn't accessible. Half of the job of the W3C is normalizing deviance by not standing up against the pop-in windows that harass you everywhere on the web the same way those shoes you saw on Zappos five years ago are still following you around.

On the other hand, my priorities have always been different from other people. I've never bolted pagination onto a user interface after the fact. I have tried to parallelize something without chunking the work (to reduce overhead so it actually speeds up) but that was a n00b mistake 20 years ago -- people write these blog posts where they make it sound like Actors or some other shiny new thing is the key thing and no, you'll have to chunk no matter how you do it. (e.g. is more fundamental!)
$900 per month is $10,800 per year for 1 person, which is $21,600 per year for a couple, and I wrote $25,000.

My point is that there are significant healthcare costs, well into the tens of thousands of dollars, in one's 50s and 60s, and the data supports it. I don't know what the situation is if you earn $50k from investments every year, as I'm not familiar with the subsidy rules, but it would seem strange to me if the US government offered subsidies to someone drawing investment income from $3M.

Edit: It seems that you can get subsidies even if you are deriving your income from investments, so I guess you are correct that someone earning $50k doesn't pay the full premium price.

Yeah but that's not adverse possession, it's a planning permission issue.

I thought all MBTI tests give you scores for each axis.
I hope you had local copies!

All cloud storage should be treated as ephemeral (some more than others, particularly google). It will change terms or go away at some point.

Only local storage owned by you is actually, well, owned by you. If it is something that matters, keep it locally.
> 2b. The other adjustment I have made is that I consider each scale to be a measure of how much ABILITY a person has developed and PRACTICING that trait. In other words, beyond natural predisposition, each person can grow considerably in any of these traits, provided they practice and apply it regularly.

I do think, at its best, this is what MBTI aims to emphasize: each of us is capable of developing those areas where we are deficient, be it introversion/extraversion, thinking/feeling, etc. Problems only arise when people treat these factors as static binaries. I’m mostly an MBTI agnostic, but I have been surprised at how consistently I have been typed as an INTP across the various versions of the test I have taken (including the ‘official’ one). I view it as a rough indicator of where I am at a particular moment in time, and the domains I can seek to develop to become a more ‘well-rounded’ person. I agree completely with you that, understood correctly, it can be a useful model when people view it as a means of growth. Not, I guess, to get too self-helpy about it.
The authors of Rust and Zig fail to understand why C is ubiquitous: “worse is better.” You can’t replace C with a better C because that is counter to why C is ubiquitous in the first place.

To be fair most engineers (including many brilliant ones) fail at grasping the intuition of providing simple but not 100% adequate solutions. The difficulty of the last 20% will drive most potential users/implementers away, and reduces the virality.
The difference is that you can bound any macroscopic quantity in fluid dynamics even if you can't solve the equations, however you can't put a bound on iterative processes. Or have economists figured out busy beaver numbers too?

I guess it was only a matter of time before economists stopped misunderstanding physics and started misunderstanding computer science. I mean there's not much prestige left in physics since the end of the cold war. Are we going to see a Turing prize in economics like the Nobel prize?
I found reddit to be a good source, but make sure to adhere to each subreddit rules, and provide values to the users there first (answering their questions, providing help etc) before posting a link to your blog post
If you "care about security" and for some reason refuse to update your system beyond what the live image is, you should instead make your own rootfs.

No one who knows what they're doing would boot off of someone else's live image, sans updates, and pretend to be secure, even if the live image was only days old.

Not to mention that the old live images worked fine on x86_64 hardware that was new to begin with, since x86_64 is extremely backwards-compatible.

But again, the most recent live image is literally days old.
Many customers requested a supplier switch but could not get it to execute for days.

They're already downsizing cameras with technology that allows removing the mirror component [1] on new models. I don't know if downsizing was the main intent or if removing the mirror was.

I think the appeal is that photographers need quality equipment. Phones can achieve good photography but they're stuck with one lens setup, for example. There's different types of photography and it's great how one can have the same camera body as another photographer and use completely different lenses and viceversa. So I think it comes to what photographers want improved.

Digital improved on film photography, phones improved on Point-and-shoot cameras [2], and so on. What comes next for photographers?

I think computational photography can be used on entry-level cameras to improve the experience of a certain market segment while still allowing an "authentic" photography experience. Size in technology is important and it will definitely keep going down throughout most fields; the main focus on the next technological advancement is probably placed elsewhere.

Again, this is tomorrows revolutionary technology. Im all for solar, I am excited by the prospect of solar! I work in an area that partially depends on the oil industry for a large portion of the work I do. As has been said in this thread, Oil is never going away until its gone, there is just too much utility to be had from the stuff. However, being able to generate electricity from our sun would be a great boon to our society and emerging nations. I think its great that research is being put into this, but what we really need for solar to take off is something akin to Moore's law for solar. It needs to get cheaper every generation by half for the same kwh. When we figure that out, solar will take off. If I can get mostly off the grid for a couple grand(not 10s of thousands) I will jump on board immediately.
shifter.in has online payment option which becomes visible to customers only if they have payment due. Once the customer completes the trip, he/she can login and pay via razorpay.
You are not being tried in a court under the ruleset of an individual state, the fed, etc. You are under the prosecution of a private entity and their private police force, which has no obligation to follow rules of state run police.

The only reason they should care about the law of the land is when they themselves are violating it, and there is no law that says "all private police and prosecution must also abide by innocent until proven guilty".
Regular PV breaks even with ease, assuming sensible use of the panels (e.g. don't mount them in the shade, mount them the right way around, don't smash them up etc).

Look up "embodied energy".
i get smartphone screens, but it's not that every other surface has been covered already or that you can't transport electricity from A to B.
I see now.

Since it's an open source and its basic functionality can be replaced with simple Unix modules, I see no problem with this setup anymore.
But it's in German.
I wish. Most of this force is criminal justice students, with a few GAs, and a few professional supervisors.

I have heard they have a pretty good collaboration with local municipal police, so anything happening on the campus could be passed off to them if jurisdiction issues arise.
Oh, tons of work has been done in trying to bring STM to imperative languages, most notably with STM.NET (which is what SPJ's referring to there).
Do you have processes that actively write to files in your Dropbox folder on a regular basis? Dropbox averages < 0.5% CPU on my Mac, but your mileage may vary. I do consider even that much somewhat odd considering that I'm a very occasional user.
I do already have an oxo probe ( http://www.oxo.com/p-558-digital-leave-in-meat-thermometer.a... ) that works well, will have to see if the wife would be willing to let me hack it up a bit.
I did this last time. I'm not sure if it was worth $99 or not. Don't get me wrong, it's very interesting and periodically, I get updates about new (dubious?) information about my genes.

If you have $99 to blow, go for it. If $99 is a lot to you, don't bother right now. It isn't worth $500 at all, except if you're doing self-research on a genetic disorder you may have.

They have great customer service and their website tools to view your data are well-designed, for the most part.

There's a been a lot of scientific controversy around these tests, and 23andme's in particular.
> White people who aren’t privileged don’t feel privileged. Liberals do not understand this and it’s a dangerous misconception about our reality.

It’s not that they don’t understand it, it’s that they insist there is no such thing. They’re all in on Critical Race Theory fairy tales, and it’s career suicide at these companies to even question this.
Sometimes I wonder if people have any original thoughts anymore or if free will is a lie and we are all just an amalgamation of memes that came before us.
That’s f’ing brilliant. Everyone is pretty good at stopping when out of money but if you can see it right there in a savings account the temptation to transfer can be strong.
These days we have a better understanding of the differences between MTAs, MSAs, and MUAs.

I don't want to be "that guy" but we've known about this distinction since the 1980s. I know, because I was fringing in the discussions in standards ml during the x.400 years.
> This is the first time that I hear power to gas described as vapourware. I'm very interested in that topic, could you give some more details or pointers?

Surely the onus is on whoever is claiming the technology does exist to provide some details of it.

I checked Wikipedia though [0] and the world's total installed P2G capacity looks like...less than 100 MW? It's at best one step above vapourware.

Does the Titan key not allow you to regenerate the key? That normally should be the first step after getting a hardware key. Yubikey definitely allows a full reset.
You really dont want to roll the dice about the new global climate equilibrium. It is a huge system that we barely understand, and currently we are moving the needle far away from the settled equilibrium. It is perfectly possible that once you reach a tipping point then things will accelerate very fast to the new equilibrium, giving us no time to react.
As much as i love the fact that a successful's company's founder takes the time to answer personnaly about his technology on HN, i've noticed that your recent interventions here had counter-productive effects.

You should probably ask other people ( external to your company) to double check what you're about to publish and post, because it can sometimes be very hard to be objective, and correctly guess how people are going to react.

Note : i don't have anything to do with coreos or docker or any kind of related tech.

> Climate change is a non issue if we humans invents a far cheaper and cleaner source of energy. We can use that energy to literally suck and filter out CO2 from air.

The problem is we have to actually do it.
In that case, would you like to buy some shares? I'm planning on disrupting disruption itself with a new social app for users to generate social apps for user generated content. No more investing in many companies waiting for one of them to succeed, give me all your money now instead and one of the users will eventually generate the platform of tomorrow without either of us having to do anything today. It cannot possibly fail.
If you can't fit the take home message of your presentation on slides with a few points to a slide, you are presenting material faster than your audience can realistically be expected to take it in - they might nod along, but they probably won't follow your presentation, and they certainly won't remember the details afterwards. Talks are not a good way to convey detail heavy academic material like proofs anyway, that is what conference papers and publications are for.

If you put up slides, some of the audience will be reading the slides rather than listening to you; you can either resist that and not put slides up, or you can use it to your advantage and put what you want to convey in bullet points.

I'm personally of the view that it is better to give people who would rather read bullet points than listen something to read rather than sit there and probably not take anything in anyway.
Labradors are special dogs. There are many excellent dog breeds out there (and great mutts too), but the Labrador's "people skills" are almost unmatched.

We've had Labradors and other dogs as well. Some of the other dogs were perfectly happy running around outside all day. The Labradors wanted to be where the people are so badly that it hurt. Being separated from the people is the only thing that caused the Labs any visible distress.

Your story of your dog laying at your feet while you work rings so true to me. I have one lab who comes to work with me sometimes. His only misbehavior is when we try to force him to not follow and be with people. His favorite thing is to come into a meeting, curl up in the middle of the circle of people, and konk out, completely happy and content.

Labs so often get the "part of the family" distinction because they stubbornly refuse to accept anything less. They demand to be in the circle of people.

At least, that's been my experience with labs.
Never been in India, but seem to be true to whole world.
> This is not a good thing, in my opinion.

This is extremely common, and not at all unique to Ruby. For example, providing defaults for parameters is perhaps the most common and simplest form of this.

Whenever a library is used by wildly different clients, there is a good chance the API it chooses will be better suited to one or the other. The same Net::HTTP is presumably used for the simplest of uses, maybe 5 line download scripts, and the most complex of cases, perhaps forwarding http requests with all headers intact.

In general I go by "minimal, but complete"; but for widely used libraries that have clients of very different complexities, it makes sense to provide a simple API for convenience. I'd rather not be specifying the client headers, user agent, supported encodings, etc, etc each time I want to fetch a file over http.
As a general rule of thumb, I like the 10/20/30 rule: 10 slides, 20 minutes, 30pt font.

I'm not a fan of speaking (although I'm starting to come round to it) and I tend to waffle both on the slides and when talking, so this helps me to keep focused.
Judging by the amount of people on my contacts list who are on Signal, I have a theory.
