But only a little bit - they are still sold for $200-$300 so you are selecting users who are likely to go out and buy games.
If you gave away XBox/PS3 for free the vast majority of users would just use them fro playing dvd/blueray or browsing - not enough people would buy ninja-killer-car-stealer-gold edition for $60 to pay them back.
There are many theories on this, its pretty well know that the swastika pre-dates Hitler by thousands of years. But some people think that he chose it because of something called the "Aryan Invasion" of India, of which some believe that one of the original ancient religious books now adopted by Hindus was written by the Aryans. There is evidence of the symbol not just in ancient Indian civilizations, but in ancient European as well and is thought to be carried through to India. But no one knows for sure, and no one knows exactly why Nazi/Hitler chose it.
I think this has been blown a little out of proportion. I haven't actually heard of any other .ly domains that this has happened to.
Missing a double quote after '…u=' and both double quotes (or single quotes) missing to properly delineate '…&t=' for the document title inclusion.

Changed those two and it's working fine.
This is pretty cool. Very well laid out and aesthetically pleasing for a 1 day project. Congrats!
The first sentence mentions this as a side channel attack, which is a legitimate attack method and applies to most algorithms, not just AES. Most crypto packages guard against this attack one way or another. This is one of the reasons you do not implement your own cryptography solution without understanding all the details, as any weakness can cause a complete compromise.

Also this article title is slightly mis-leading, but not entirely.
People who get offended by geometric shapes have way too much time on their hands.
If it's not regulated then I'll call myself libertarian and sabotage as many cameras as possible. If it's left behind on public space it's public.
When you start going down the road of affected things, and then affected-affected things, and then affected-affected-affected things, you leave your case more vulnerable to alternative explanations (and thus solutions) with each step along the way.

Climate change -> population migration -> fascism -> nuclear war is quite a severe set of steps, and if this is truly the scenario we're worried about, then climate change is probably the most difficult step to correct. We'd likely have a much easier time trying to control migration or fascism or nuclear war. And there's a decent chance something will naturally interfere with these set of steps such that it doesn't occur.

Additionally, it seems to me that nuclear war can derive from a number of different sequences, and climate change is probably not the most immediate one.
IIRC I read that for an outside observer everything that is sucked into a black hole does never actually pass "into" it. The closer it gets to the event horizon, the slower it's clock runs (from an outside perspective), and gradually stops upon approaching the horizon itself. [!] That seems like a rather large difference.

[!] Disclaimer: I don't know if that interpretation is still considered valid.

Edit: Formatting
I tend to agree with you so I did a quick google to see how many Billionaires, CEO's, and other people of high achievement represent themselves as minimalist.

A lot more come up than you would think.

The most uprising example to me was Michael Bloomberg. Apparently he refuses to have more than 6 pairs of shoes. I don't even know how to take that, because he must have more than 6 homes, right?
This is what I meant by "barely". It still makes no effort to actually look for compatibility.
You should read the post.

> if you use it day after day to do your job, the $150/year cost is basically nothing [...] [Excel] Just Works™.

From the post:

> It’s not that I’m cheap either, I just want something that works according to my preferences, not Microsoft’s.

See the post for details about what's wrong with Microsoft's Office offering.

The author even goes on to say:

> I took the $319 I was about to spend on an Office license and I donated it to the LibreOffice project, and will just continue to do so every time I have to go through this process.

I really don't think they're as cheap as you make them out to be.

And I agree with the sentiment. I'd also be fine to pay for it, but I don't want to have to struggle with emulation layers to get Microsoft's crap to work on a non-Microsoft supported operating system (it's not as if I can compile it myself), when there is a perfectly fine alternative that does not rely on being a monopoly. If someone has a layout issue with my document, the solution is very simple. If someone has a layout issue with Microsoft-made documents, they expect the other party to pay over a hundred bucks just to open one document (it doesn't happen more than once a year to me, so they're asking me to pay that for one document). This scheme only works if there is a monopoly because those people wouldn't actually themselves pay for two or three licenses just to open other people's documents.

For me, LibreOffice also works better (ever tried opening a CSV in Excel? It comes out wrong 90% of the time and I don't know how, or if, you can change it; LibreOffice Calc just gives you a dialog with the csv settings and a preview of the result), in part because I'm used to it and no longer used to newer Office versions, it aligns with my ideology more, and on top of all that it's free.

"Even if [one] is just marginally better than [the other], if you use it day after day to do your job" then indeed it's a no-brainer to use LibreOffice instead of pay money for an inferior product.
Maybe the "getting big enough to have Match buy us" could be the entire business plan for the next app to "compete" in this market? If you can bootstrap yourself along for getting Match's attention, you might not need the investors.
Suggestion for the macOS menubar icon. Make the icon change colour to red when disconnected or the VPN is not in use. Maybe even a notification should be displayed.
Large US Companies are incentivized to keep healthcare something they solely provide because it ties their employee's health coverage to their employment status, putting pressure on them to keep their job or face paying their hospital bills in full.
I've been dealing with setting up a corporation over the past few months and have some quick (5am) comments on a few of these points from the article. Hopefully this is helpful to anyone considering doing business in Japan.

> Tokyo One-Stop Business Establishment Center (TOSBEC)

This resource is great and underutilized in Tokyo in the international business scene from my experience. I've been doing my part to recommend it far and wide, as it is very helpful with solid English support.

> Corporate bank account

I finished setting up my corporation in Japan in April, and it is now essentially December and I do not have a corporate bank account yet. Getting denied many times from various banks, always being told that they cannot tell us the reason why due to "policy". also, it can take anywhere from three to five weeks to process your application. My accountant, lawyer, etc cannot quite figure it out for certain. It recently came down to a few potential factors around me not being on the business manager visa (on another work visa), even though we've seen success doing it as that before. Banking has been my biggest holdup thus far.

> Private office

to secure a visa from your own business, you need a private office. You must have a private door, with your company name listed on it. there are multiple businesses which support this around the city, but you will pay at least 600 USD per month for a shoebox office with no windows or AC control, if you want to be in a reasonable neighborhood. There is also a semi-requirement that your bank must be within 5 km of your headquarters, AKA your office. So if you will be going there frequently, which you probably will be since online banking here is practically useless, you will not want to be traveling far.

So, you will be spending 600 USD per month on an office. You will also be spending 2,000 to 3,000 USD per year on an accountant to handle your corporate taxes. the standard rate for setting up a corporation, is around 4,500 USD to 5,500 USD. If you can't read Japanese kanji forms, which is all you are going to find that many banks and most government offices offer, you're going to need to pay a translator. If you are sponsoring your own visa, you need to deposit at least 50,000 USD into your bank account to support your visa. This money can be used elsewhere after it has been deposited, but is still a hurdle for some.

You are looking at a minimum of 15,000 to 20,000 USD for setting up a corporation over your first year, assuming you follow the standard path (excluding the 50k deposit)

I've been doing my best to document everything along the way during this process, and it is not over yet. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have more questions or a curious about more details.
People love the idea of being big and having "big problems". Wanting to use Hadoop isn't that different from wanting to use all sorts of fancy "web-scale" databases.

Most of us don't have scaling issues or big data, but that sort of excludes us from using all the fancy new tools that we want to play with. I'm still convinced that most of the stuff I work on at work could be run on SQLite, with designed a bit more careful.

The truth is that most of us will never do anything that couldn't be solved with 10 year old technology. And honestly we should happy, there's a certain comfort in being able to use simple and generally understood tools.
If you read the story, look at the landing page ICE set up on the seized domains, and then Google the two US Code references on that page, you'll see they were both civil forfeiture statutes.

You write as if your understanding of asset forfeiture was "the government can simply take whatever it wants whenever it wants". That isn't the case at all. It's called "civil" forfeiture because the government is suing for the property. There's a court case and everything. It is, essentially, the exact opposite of what the article we're commenting on claims it is.
If you have not yet started the tutorial, click on at least the first one. It's snazzy the FireBug-ish console action they have going on there, and the Bespin/Skywriter editor action, too.

If this doesn't show what the next generation of web-app looks like, I don't know what would. It remains to be seen, however, how that model holds up to "real" work - which is the same concern I had about Bespin/Skywriter.
The fact that we need a military is one of the most important facts that we have learned in thousands of years.
The tutorial is certainly nice; however, I'm guessing that running the following snippet in the ruby tutorial:

output = `cd \\etc && cat passwd`
puts output

shouldn't actually be returning the contents of the passwd file.
I have no idea what it's supposed to have to do with Big Brother.

If the owners of your local shopping mall were to count the number of people coming through the door, would people have privacy concerns about that? What if they took a photo of their parking lot and counted the number of cars? Now suppose they hire someone else and do it from orbit. I fail to see the concern here.
Won't the IR spots from one Kinect interfere from the ones from the others?
They aren't master trolls by any stretch of the imagination. The race guy/rage guy tactic was creative, probably the most creative thing I've seen them pull off in a while. It worked for 2 days, before hot topic figured it out.

If this was a hoax, the government would simply say, "no, that wasn't us. We're looking into it." That would be the end of it.
I disagree. It's at least theoretically possible to find advertisers that want to reach bored teenagers. Very few people would risk having their logo appear on chatroulette.
Interesting, I had a look at the tool after reading this and have activity from the same IP address mentioned in the article.

Update: I have also Etacts with enabled access. I had completely forgotten about them.
It's completely anecdotal, but a friend of mine has an Evo that absolutely couldn't last eight hours without dying. She added a widget to her home screen that turns off any mobile data (2G and 3G). Now, with it off most of the day, she regularly has 60-70% of battery life left at the eight hour point.
Both articles are from November 18th. The New York Post one is from four hours later and just summarizes the CBS interview. Your New York Post article links to the CBS one and leads with a picture of the woman telling her story on CBS.
There are hundreds of guides out there -- Google for the one that works for you. Though, I don't think you'll find anything that pays per click -- usually they pay on conversion (someone clicks and then buys). Google AdSense might work better for you.
Yeah, I was only giving the example that came fastest to mind, given that it bites me the most often.
Windows 2000's UI was a slightly evolved 95 UI, but I think Win7 is my favorite. I used the classic theme so it looked like 2000.

And since most home users had no experience with 2000, they saw the theme and thought I was still running 98 or ME in 2010.
Exactly.
This website is either making a very basic mistake or is just plain misleading.
What does TPU v3 mean there? tpu v3.8? In which case you are comparing 8 cores/4 chips to a single GPU which hardly seems fair. It's hard to compare across ASICs. In practice the the largest readily available amount of compute seem to be 8 V100s vs one 'Cloud TPU' (tpu v3.32). Those two have relatively similar performance in practice (FLOPs seem to be a very poor way to compare across ASICs), although TPU is typically several times less expensive.
Why do we need someone with a gun to handle this? I'd much rather see a civilian from Vector Control or a similar city department enforcing this. If people fail to pay up the fines, maybe then the guys with guns can be dispatched to deal with "contempt of court" or whatever.
Markets have been dropping like flies to law enforcement and DDOS extortion. Nobody is entirely certain what to trust.
As far as I've seen, SF is about the same cost of living as New York
For what it's worth, I too have a Das Keyboard (Ultimate) and I don't experience this problem (Arch 64-bit).

Hopefully that helps narrow down your issue.
Er, this doesn't seem to be working on herdingcode.com.

Still a great idea, though animating it (there are a few unicode music symbols you could probably cycle through) would make it even better.
While the other answer made me laugh, the reason is because gold is an element. Diamonds can be manufactured because they are made out carbon, and carbon and cheap and plentiful.

You either have gold or you don't. Alchemy tried to convert elements into other elements which is nearly impossible (The sun and other nuclear reactions do this, but not directly to specific elements).
Take the bus? Drive? as a suggestion to avoid the TSA is not valid, I am not sure whether you are aware of this, by the way train travel is covered too:

(EDIT: I misquoted you from memory)
My interpretation: javascript is slowly catching up to the rest of the world. It's reach both makes it a lingua franca and slows it down. Maybe one day it will be suitable for real programming, if people who complain after 10 minutes would stop holding it back.
I do not disagree with this, but will state the following "in response": I believe there is a lot of overlap in the things you learn from running a business as running a family, giving your father a lot to teach you about running a business from his many further years of experience in those areas (and consequently I believe his first year of entrepreneurship would be smoother than yours, even if your 26th were smoother than his first).
So what's the difference? I can't see it. I'm not saying there isn't one, I'm saying I'm interested in hearing what it is because it's not immediately clear (or at least sufficiently clear to make me want to hand over the cash if I know about fotolog).
But employees can get more done in their 7.5 hours then they could in 8.

Rather, those 7.5 hours are less interrupted by waits, lag, pauses and compiles. Switching from IDE to reference is more seamless, and so the preservation of flow is much more likely.
I like it, but will there be a way to create an account instead of having to use Facebook to log in?
Aren't most unbranded HTC Android phones already sold unlocked? E.g., on my HTC Wildfire there was an engineering bootloader preinstalled, so shouldn't this bootloader provide me with the same features as an "oem unlock'ed" Nexus?
I'm reticent to post humor here, but this article immediately made me think of this sketch from Mr. Show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkP_OGDCLY0
Growing up with two parents constantly stressed and fighting about money, having financial security is about the most calming thing I could imagine.

For me, it's less about being able to do extravagant things, and more about never having to worry about it.

Do you need a million dollars to achieve financial security? Perhaps not, but it certainly wouldn't hurt.
I'm the author of xc.js (https://github.com/fairfieldt/xcjs).

If you're looking for an equivalent product, xc.js has a big advantage over the others listed: it runs natively on iOS (and Android soon).

It's a fairly young library, and admittedly has some shortcomings but it would also love some contributions :).
As a Rust newbie, this is why I end up just using .unwrap() everywhere. result::Result, io::Result, is something a Some/None or an Ok/Error, etc, etc. What (non-string) errors does this function return, etc? I find it easier to check for and propagate integer error numbers correctly in C.
The top-end model also nearly doubles the price and puts it in an entirely different class of competition. The $50k Cybertruck, comparable in price to something like the F-150 Raptor or Tacoma TRD Pro, is "only" 300 mile range. At the top-end model's $70k you're deep into Ford Super Duty territory
Can't mention someone doing something bad without someone coming out of the woodwork shouting CAPITALISM!!1. Don't you have a breadline to stand in?

I launched https://extracttable.com on Aug'27 this year with a post here (no better place than HN), reached the first 100 customers under 60 days, with 22 paid customers. Right now, the count is at 197, hopefully crossing 250 by EOY
Thank you for standing up for what's right.
You don't need to download an app to use Algo on iOS! It creates an Apple profile that installs an IKEv2 VPN. Algo _also_ creates a WireGuard profile which does require an app. It's your choice which one to use.
I hope it doesn’t use touch controls.

Having to remove a space suite so you can adjust the atmospheric controls sounds stupid.
I agree with the vast number of comments about how unjust this is and I strongly suspect the police messed up by applying for the house search warrant using such a flimsy charge, instead of, I dunno, maybe just applying for a warrant to search his home using the same CI who got you the car warrant? Still wrong, but at least less dumb.

That said, if you find a GPS tracker on your car, which you take off and keep in your house full of drugs, it might be a bit late for you. I'm not suggesting the police used the GPS tracker to locate him, but who would keep a device like that, even if you were fairly* sure it was off? Park next to a city/police/firefighter/EMS vehicle and stick it over there. Or just chuck the thing on the side of the road and be done with it.

This is a fairly rural area, but I suspect in a larger city the police wouldn't even need a GPS tracker to maintain a rough idea of your comings and goings. They'll just scan the license plates ~20+ times a day as various police vehicles drive by, and use that data to build a map of your travels.
Consider pre-rendering formulas instead of doing it client-side (KateX supports this, dunno about MathJax). In my experience, rendering a lot of equations on screen via MathJax can be quite taxing.
I've been on MiaB since 2014, and aside from Gmail focused Chrome extensions, I haven't had a single issue. Easily one of my favorite projects.
but taxation = theft.... according to the current Secretary of Education
</sarcasm>

But seriously, spending a week or so in a civics class to cover W2s, 1040s and 1099s would do wonders.
I'm interested in hearing more about the idea of being an effective CTO while focusing on also being a developer.

I imagine it's necessary for small companies, possible for growing companies, and eventually impossible for sufficiently sized companies where the CTO role is at least 40 hours of your week.
who downvotes my comment thinks it is okay to suppress women, criminalize homosexuality, cause famines in Yemen, finance global terrorism or fillet journalists.

I take those downvotes with pride :)
Or the people who make just one third are just even poorer. I have an income in the top 10% of my country, yet my feeling is it is only sufficient to scrape by in a moderately convenient way. Certainly not enough to retire early. Like to buy a house or apartment, I would probably still have to take a 30 year credit.
I can't imagine that a significant number of people would be able to earn significant amounts of money by speaking.
Great observation. I'd say this applies to all musicians.
Doesn't a real friendship imply equal status? That equal status is always there, the teasing is thanks to it being equal, not fluctuating. At most you could say you are pretending to be lower or higher than each other, but acknowledging that is in fact pretending.
It seems to use it's own keyboard layout, not the one set in the operating system/printed on my keyboard.
You clearly get that licenses matter, but you've released your code under the worst of all possible licenses, namely "contact me for permission."

This is an easy one to solve, it just takes a moment to pick a real license for your project[1]. Real licenses are more than one sentence long because there are real issues that both licensor and licensee need to understand before they can go forward.
