If you think "fire" is easy, watch the lemon dance scene in Waiting for Superman.

You're missing my point about "earn", which is you don't have to write individual-testing logic if the general requirement is onerous enough. Those who really want to work with children will then have a natural advantage over those who are in it for other reasons. The latter will by definition find something easier to do, and it is greatly in society's interest that they do so.

Another advantage of this plan is that the degree of onerousness (how many years you have to put in, what you get paid, and so on) could be tested empirically.

ps: I like several of your other comments in this thread. Are you a teacher?
> Apparently completely ignorant of progressive enhancement: deliver the markup and CSS and then enhance with JavaScript.

Or maybe he just doesn't agree with that approach. Neither do the guys at 280 North and they're doing just fine with Cappuccino.

> This is nonsense

TL;DR You don't like the framework because it doesn't fit with your tastes. That's fine, but don't act like the guy is a moron for creating something you don't want to use.
Why would Cuban exiles want to embargo their former home?
It seems like it would be very easy for people to get on the wrong mini train and end up leaving at the wrong place, because it would likely take significantly more time to get ready for a disembark.
How do you put something on the "dark web" ? Is it something other than hosting on your PC ?
Let me put it this way: there not a strong correlation, and the relationship is too complicated to support nice, self-serving narratives.
Can you point to the recall from this?

The recall I can find is to replace 3 bolts that can corrode due to salt which would cause loss of power steering.

I’m not sure what runaway power steering is?
Isn't that exactly the case (besides in Switzerland)?
> They need only use the laws already on the books.

Existing laws already make certain acts a crime, but that isn't what the new legislation is trying to do. Rather, it is trying to signal that certain acts, such as the storming of the Capitol by Trump associates, are objectionable to those proposing the new legislation. That's a political statement - not a legal necessity, as you point out.

The risk of making a political statement via legislation is that it can backfire when the shoe is on the other foot, which is what the ACLU is warning against.

> Good. Please continue the coordinated and targeted bans. Compared to a Twitter that can't ban people, a diverse ecosystem of alternative services is a usable second place.

So when the Big Tech companies start to coordinate, target and suspend YOUR accounts for 'any reason' that is also good?

Wordeye seems to be about scene generation out of pre-existing building blocks where as DALL-E is about creating those building blocks themselves.
I have sympathy for the concept, but not the people. All the videos I've seen of them arguing their cases are so mind-numbingly stupid that it pisses me off just that they're wasting taxpayer money taking up law enforcement and court time with their bullshit "tactics".

Reality doesn't fly out the window just because they want something to be true.
It's against HN's rules to editorialize titles like that. Could you please review them? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. HN titles should be accurate and neutral. If it's necessary to rewrite a title to make it so, that's fine (the guideline explicitly allows for that). But you should definitely not rewrite a title to put spin on it.

It's particularly bad to use quotation marks to make it look like you're quoting something when you aren't.
I agree, and due to the amount of compute that is required for those types of works I think those are still quite awhile away.

But the profession for creative individuals consists of much more than highly-paid well-credentialed individuals working at well-known US corporations. There are millions of artists that just do quick illustrations, logos, sketches, and so on, on a variety of services, and they will be replaced far before Pixar is.
So it tells your body how to process instructions and this somehow doesn’t equate to or can be potentially portrayed as controlling your body? The idea that right now it’s not doing anything at a large scale like controlling someone’s emotions or thoughts. The FEAR is that this technology eventually will. Also someone branding it as an OS doesn’t help quell that fear.

The double speak is baffling.
Well, in the end, do you want to avoid feeling weird, or to help people? Both of those are valid desires, but they don't always go together. Sometimes you can find something that does both and that's great, but not everyone can.
Yeah, I'm familiar with GamerGate (it is currently my favorite internet drama), and I have trouble figuring out what Bernstein is talking about.
I'd recommend figuring out monetization earlier. It's never as easy as flipping on a switch. It takes a while to nail down your margins, pricing, ad networks, etc.

Sooner the better.
Ben offers a level-headed overview of the recent concerns over Dropbox security and privacy.
I hadn't heard of the beta blockers having such a large success rate. I'll have to look more into that. I tried Propranolol with no luck.
In my experience, the number of people that actually have what it takes to telecommute effectively is extremely small, and most of those are self-employed already.

Of those that want to telecommute and have a steady job, very few can actually handle the responsibility and the lack of stimulus from co-workers for longer periods of time. Flexible hours, working from home on a regular basis, sure, no problem, but actual full time telecommuting requires a lot of commitment, discipline and communication skills.
I've worked at home since 1996 and there is no way in hell you'd drag me back. I never had a problem with isolation, but then I have kids. Isolation for me is a goal, not a fear.

In this, as in all things, your mileage will certainly vary. If you're a type-A people person, you should probably stick with a social context. Although (as elsewhere noted) you'd be surprised how much social interaction you can have online at home these days.
It's also worth keeping in mind that if you commute 20 miles to work and get 25 mpg, that's more than $1600 per year on gas, so the cut is not quite as big as it looks (though it is still there).
A number of restaurants have successfully integrated games into meals. The example that comes most readily to mind is Buffalo Wild Wings in which you can play trivia games against other people in the restaurant. Granted I don't it would be wise to do this on your anniversary or something but in many situations it improves the social interaction rather, look at the popularity of pub trivia.

However the features of these devices that I'm most interested in is how they allow you to order food and pay for it right there. Having to split checks is a problem (admittedly I do feel kind of like a pussy complaining about it) that this device should completely eliminate.

Did you forgot what happened this summer so quickly?

Bad police were maiming innocent civilians with no provocation: https://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/1266752393556918273

The protests were to hold those bad police accountable.

Do not compare people asking for the rule of law to be applied fairly and justly, to a President directing his rally to violently attack Congress and overthrow a democratic election.
It appears that people are downvoting me... to censor me? How ironic.
Put away your pitch fork for a second and think rationally what the chilling effect of this is. It doesn't matter who the president is, what matters is that this is unprecedented that a tech company, that skims the line of being a media company which is usually the mouthpiece/marketing arm for corporations to outsource their engagement has this much control, manipulation and can steer an audience / rewrite an narrative as it seems fit.

Then throw in any politician, and there you go. Can be trunp w/ Twitter. Can be how Facebook abetted genocide Myanmar -- yet you are focused on "what" I think.

That's how deep you are in the rabbit hole, and how deep the user audience for these walled gardens are.

I understand it's hard to separate recent events from the big picture - but that's what it is all about. But it seems no one else sees that.
They were absolutely more aggressive. Whether that's because they were more prepared in the BLM protests or less professional than in D.C., or whether because they were busy trying to evacuate the inside of the Capitol, or whether the BLM police were responding to the looting, or whether protesters frequently stayed out past curfew, or whether a core tenet of the protest was ACAB and a (justified, imo) loathing of the police, or maybe even because the cops didn't have the precedent of the BLM protests that they might not want to repeat is all conjecture.
How about these [1], are they just basic political discourse find on twitter, fb and every other social media system?

Your pin is not your key, even through a KDF. That would allow guessing with only 10**4 guesses. Signal exports an unencrypted backup to a formatted text file, which can then be imported by another signal instance.
Not sure how that matters, the content of the tweet still invokes violence.

It is a rhetorical question, but to illustrate a point.

One way to look at it is that the OS is not good because it didn't support the resolution out of the box. Another way to view it is that all it took was a measly 10 minutes of googling to enable features that the OS doesn't natively include. You're right, the macOS probably would have an easier job at handling your monitor's resolution.
Depends on the country. In Germany you can. You need to have a separate room that is mainly used for that job. Eg Teachers, IT Professionals etc can benefit from it.

With the pandemic there is a flat amount everyone can deduct for 2020.

better than none, but really wish it said "all".
Hmm, If I were the Indian govt. I'd atleast attempt to sell the Tejas to the US. Engine is American anyway (GE-404), Israeli radar and avionics compatible with a lot of Western block missiles. Would be an interesting reversal of fortunes.

It's sad that the F-35 is in this state. The whole "sensor fusion" (no doubt, overhyped) sounded interesting. I am curious as to how well implemented the same system is on the SAAB Gripens.
I am not for or against cryptocurrencies, and not a cryptography expert, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

You don't necessarily need to use a publicly available cryptocurrency that exists in the wild today. If an organization was motivated enough and thought it was a good idea, they could simply launch their own private blockchain on their own hardware that they control. With your own blockchain on your own hardware you could still reap the benefits of decentralized compute power, and build your own smart contracts system that can broker chargebacks. The barrier to entry for an endeavor like this is the lowest its ever been too, you can even spin up a managed blockchain on AWS these days.

So by "static code", you seem to mean "compiled executable code".

You can compile Lisp "code" to machine code, and there will be nothing dynamic about it.
Most of this jives with what I have heard from two Netflix engineers, except for the work/life balance. Both folks that I talked to said that Netflix was very much a place where they tried to work you as hard as possible until you burned out, but that this was balanced by the exceptional compensation. I wonder if the culture has changed or if only certain roles are like that?
You can already opt out now. When you sign with any major ISP the first question it asks you on connection is, basically, parental controls, yes or no. You say no and get on with your life.

The single and only thing that Sky have done today, is changing that "If you don't answer, we'll assume no (filtering)" to "If you don't answer, we'll assume yes."
If you wonder why you're getting downvoted, here's a couple pointers:

>Sorry but, this post epitomizes the current entrepreneurship for sake of it trend.

This statement, while being mildly insulting, doesn't actually give any information. It's a conclusion without an argument. If you feel the post is fluffy and insubstantial, explain why. Rather than a drive by Youtube-style comment, write to convince. You have an opinion that you'd like others to consider, but it will take more than merely stating it to be taken seriously.

>The bubble seems to be inflating exponentially!

This, again, is a statement without substance. There's been a lot of bubble talk lately, and arguments flying back and forth on whether there is a bubble and what form it takes if so. If you feel that this post is symptomatic of the "bubble-era" startup attitude, you need to explain why. Be aware that many people are growing weary of the constant bubble talk, so if you want to be taken seriously you need to make a serious argument. Exclamation points rarely have a place in that kind of exposition.
Life is not about a start up. A start up is just going become a part of life, and how big you make it is up to you. You might get involved in a start up now, but i have a feeling you do not know what it is to be an entrepreneur; and to know that, you need to go to college. Being an entrepreneur is a process of self discovery- like enlightenment and it has to happen itself, don't force it upon yourself. Go to college. And when you 'feel' you no longer need to be in college, quit. If you never feel that way while you are there, get that degree!
And now try to not browse (click page by page) but actually search for anything by license. Not possible.

Or even just try to search for any two words. They search with an logical OR.

This has been that way for years, maybe forever. I've been ranting about it all the time. Jamendo is a great project and there is a lot of fantastic music (I have almost 500 "starred" albums) but it is a pain in the arse to use if you actually want to discover music yourself.

Another pet peeve of mine is that they do not say the reason if albums get deleted. So if you downloaded something, thinking it was free music, it might have been deleted for copyright infringement later and you could never find out. Or the artist changed the license.
Aren't you missing a time variable?

I didn't go to University, and wasn't much for science in high-school, but (using your figures) sunlight is 1000watts/m^2/second (or millisecond or minute), isn't it?

If so, aren't your concerns about the size of the mirror, etc. imposing a limitation, kinda like saying we can build a jet that will fly from NYC to San Fran in 30 seconds, but we can't keep the people in one piece during the trip. Therefore, we slow it down to a more humanly acceptable speed. With the volume of sunlight hitting the planet, would we not be able to take only a portion of that sunlight and concentrate it over time to get the same effect??

Of course, like an airplane, you need a minimum speed to create lift, and this magnetic effect may have such a limiting speed/force(?).

Of course, I have no idea what I'm talking about, but you seem quite knowledgable.
I've tried working outside the office. Usually I can get intensive work done in short bursts, but it's too tempting to go take a walk and set up your temporary office in some other location for a while. "You've been in this cafe for too long, you should go to the library... this library is dark and ugly, why not go sit on a bench outside? This bench isn't really comfortable and the screen is too glary... but hey, it's time for lunch and there's a really great place only twenty minutes' walk away..." Finally I get to the end of the day and figure out I've done about four good twenty-minute periods of work and had a really nice stroll in the Botanical Gardens.
Hi HN. Great responses.

The reason for the title of my posting is not to call 'Subversion A Mistake.' It was because of something Linus said in his video (which I highly recommend you watch). Basically, what he said is that if you can't trust your VCS to have the code in it that it should (and verifiable via hashes), then that is everything. I agree.

The Subversion Team, who are all great people and _really_ smart, made a huge mistake with adding mergeinfo to 1.5. It is a trainwreck of pretending to be able to do merges reliably, but in reality, it plain doesn't work. I talk about two specific cases where it breaks down in my posting, but there are many more.

Subversion has a lot going for it, I just think that the mergeinfo feature should just be thrown out and reworked from the ground up. My guess is that it will never happen as people will move on to newer and better systems, like git.
Principal-Agent problem, we meet again.
This usually works best in overly bureaucratic or draconian situations.
Cloud Foundry + BOSH, IME, does exactly that.

http://bosh.cloudfoundry.org

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-lite

https://github.com/CloudCredo/dockpush

You download a BOSH release for your infrastructure, tweak the manifest for your chosen cloud, and push the deployment out. If you make a change, you just push it out.

Cloud Foundry itself (the elastic runtime) is a BOSH application that includes an HAPRoxy load balancer, dynamic router, and allows you to easily push/scale the stateless micro services and declaratively wire them up with other services you've deployed (with CF or Bosh).

It can run on AWS, vSphere, OpenStack, or on your own Vagrant VM in containers (bosh-lite). Or you can use Pivotal Web Services public cloud: http://run.pivotal.io

BOSH requires some wrestling early on but I find it to be a fascinating project.
This was done from an "index finger [...] lifted from a water glass" while we are discussing a copy made from a "few photographs"
Right, the null pointer gets dereferenced in the kernel, but (assuming I'm understanding the report right) the means of exploitation is to create a userspace memory mapping with something mapped at address zero, and cause the kernel to read from that address / run code at that address instead of faulting when it tries to dereference NULL. The PoC code is userspace and does this:

//map NULL page
vm_deallocate(mach_task_self(), 0x0, 0x1000);
addr = 0;
vm_allocate(mach_task_self(), &addr, 0x1000, 0);
char* np = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 0x1000; i++){
np[i] = 'A';
}

Am I misinterpreting this?

Re SheepShaver and Basilisk II, those are non-Mac apps, and at least on Linux, there's no requirement for an emulator (like qemu) to map address zero in the host to offer a usable zero page in the guest; it's a convenience depending on how you write the emulator, but it's by no means needed. I don't think this is true of other host platforms either, but I'm less familiar with those.
> give their children cell phones

Cell phones have a regressive indicator. When you have less time (single parent, multiple jobs) coordinating with that caregiver or a backup caregiver (bus, grandparent, friend) is important (and in a world without pay phones). In addition, a phone serves as "cheap" entertainment (games, social networks).
You're right, these are pure silica tiles, very low density and very low heat conductivity.

What I want to know: With all this god damn quarantine and stay at home, what's to prevent one sick person to go out after the all clear and just reinfect everybody. This stay at home situation is not sustainable. Is this an economic war from China?
If I was running a company of any size and revenue dived by 20x I would probably consider emergency measures. Skeleton crew of only the most essential employees, unpaid leave for the rest (that will accept it) and underline that these are temporary measures to keep the company alive.

Some will inevitably look for and find other work, but if the whole company goes under everyone will be in the same boat. I'd say this is not going away in the near term and if you're not acting like it's a crisis now you may be unprepared for a sustained or even worse drop in revenue.

Just my five cents, obviously noone can predict this with any certainty.
and auto insurance companies are probably benefiting as well
I think it's fair to say it was pioneered by why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby [0].

Spolsky is a fan of the style. He's made the case for deliberately writing documentation that's fun to read, rather than using a dry style. As he puts it, nobody read the spec, because it was so dang mind-numbing. [1]

Yeah, this is an odd use of bootstrapped. One of the core tenets I see is remaining "independent" or at least free of massive pressure to grow at break neck speeds. I'd imagine they have that.

You're entirely right. I dont think anyone but a demographer has an intuition for stats like this. I'd bet that a ton of people answered 20% across the board.
Great question. There's nothing in the code for that just yet. Right now, I'd just like to observe if and how people use the system. There are plenty of non-anonymous location-based services out there (for instance, Google Buzz); Squarechan is an experiment to see what happens if you remove the identity layer. --Joe
What would a 100k system look like today, spec-wise? Is it even possible?
For some reason, there seems to be an more random downvotings by members just because they can.. So, I often see interesting and on topic answers like yours first being downvoted and then upvoted...

I wonder what could be done by pg to counter that? Maybe have a limit of numbers of downvote per day?
Hello Raganwald, I am confused by your responding. On your blog you identify the article as being written by a guest blogger named Nickieben Bourbaki. But now you are here speaking, saying "accusing me", as if you authored the article and not Nickieben Bourbaki. Did you write the article? Did Nickieben Bourbaki? Are you Nickieben Bourbaki? My concern about the credibility of the article given that it lists 3 seminal works including one just released was towards this mysterious author, Nickieben Bourbaki. But then here is a response from you in which you refer to the author as "me", that is to say, yourself, and not Bourbaki.

Your statement of defense "The relationship between the speaker and the statement has no bearing on the truth of the statement." does imply as I suspected that there is a relationship between the author of the blog article and someone involved with the just released book he is recommending as an instant classic. What is the nature of this relationship?
It took me a while to realize that the "Accept new location" button was the action button: perhaps it should be relabeled?
