I can't help but find myself on your side on this one. After years of horrific abuse of protesters by police, and denouncement of such, I get to sit here and watch those same people turn around and denounce non-escalation just because of who the protesters are this time. Like most protests, I feel sure that the majority of the violence was committed by a relative few extremists and a lot of people were content to express their anger with perfectly legitimate shouting and standing around. Had this event been escalated it is likely a lot of those people would be dead or injured, making this whole thing a lot worse.

Sadly, I am becoming quite used to being disappointed in my countrymen.
For people that are not aware: There's a Telegram FOSS [1] fork which contains all kinds of fixes; and additionally is Google Services and tracking free, which means it will run on AOSP and LineageOS without any burden of push services.

Very clickbaity headline. The problem described is real, but just as real or worse in other statistical software, so it's not 'R' as a whole that poses a threat to reproducibility.
"Federal and state governments should consider passing laws that forbid smartphones, tablets and other such devices from being 'sealed off from law enforcement,' Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said today..."

If they ever pass these laws, the next step would be to outlaw encrypting the hard drive on your laptop or using PGP to encrypt your e-mail. Also, speaking on the phone in a language that the police don't understand could be made a crime.
This doesn't play very well with typical web content.

I am looking forward to following you, though it seems a bit naive, especially the statement: "If done properly, building a SaaS application can provide an extremely lucrative business without killing the creator with 80 hour work weeks, my goal is to do exactly that".

But good luck :)
I wonder if the cultural shifts - the pivotal moments in history - were more significant between 1955-1985, than 1985-2015.

Between 1955-1985 we had the civil rights movement, the moon landing, the Vietnam War, and the final decades of the Cold War. Between 1985-2015 we've had the fall of the Soviet Union and the Berlin Wall, the Gulf Wars and Afghanistan, and 9/11. I'm obviously missing some other significant events.

We also had technological shifts - 1955-1985 saw records -> tapes, but CDs and PCs were not quite massively adopted yet. 1985-2015 has seen CDs -> flash storage, mass adoption of PCs -> laptops -> smartphones, and social media apps. Much of the advances in technology have connected us geographically and temporally.

I feel like the significant events between 1955-1985 separated the youth of the 80's from the youth of the 50's, more than the significant events from 1985-2015 have. I also feel that many changes between 1985-2015 actually connected today's youth to people and events of the last 30 years.
I think they are making a political point about closed borders being vilified by the left.
It's pretty clear that using AWS is lawful. What you're questioning is if AWS is being used in a compliant manner, which is an entirely different thing. It is possible to do so, so there's nothing odd with choosing AWS.
Thank you for the recommendations of Iranian musicians.

I found that the first person's name is commonly spelled Kayhan Kalhor, with an "a" instead of "o" in the first name.

From the latest ONS antibody study, (which is nearly a month out of date), 40-50% of under 50s have antibodies now. That's driven by previous infection; vaccination (a lot were done under health conditions), and also a lot are carers/health workers/social workers.
Pay (a lawyer) to play is a heck of a lot more democratic than the current system where if you're given crap service at the discretion of the government (as opposed to the bureaucrats doing their job wrong) you need to find a string you can pull to go over the head of whatever bureaucrat screwed you. Money for a lawyer isn't perfect but it is far more accessible to a far broader cross section of the population than the connections required to go around a bureaucrat who has screwed you at their discretion. Furthermore, organizations that screw a lot of people tend to circle the wagons so if you're screwed by the cops knowing a guy who golfs with the chief might not help you, you need to know a guy who golfs with the guy the chief reports to (ditto for the planning department or whatever).
> If Facebook has since deleted some of those accounts or associated phone numbers, they may no longer have a way to contact those users

That would totally defy logic.

I don't think that Facebook deletes anything ever.
This is an important topic, but I disagree with their results:

-- Squatting is not a sign of failure of name coin or it being in "disrepair". Despite it's unpopularity (mainly due to "someone got there first!" jealousy) squatting is no different than any other form of homesteading. The indignity that you might have to actually pay for a resource that someone else invested time and effort into developing, does not exist anywhere else. Do you think it's immoral for twitter, Facebook or google to run ads? Do you think it's immoral for them to have their respective domains? Do you think it's immoral for Apple to "Squat" on Apple.com? I mean, that's a hell of a great domain name. Imagine all the orchards and Apple Juice makers who actually make products that are Apples or Apple related who would want that domain? Whether a domino has a website on it does not indicate whether its use is "trivial". Domains are also used for email, FTP and any number of other services. People seem to forget that. You may be a DJ with the name MC Red, but if I have MCRed.namecoin and I'm just using it for email, am I really "squatting" ?

Having the vision and wherewithal to register a name early, going thru the hassle of name coin, etc, is not a trivial matter. Therefore, holding a name to sell it is not immoral or unreasonable, or even a sign of failure. These names will be registered by somebody. How many people have a moral claim to the word "mcdonalds"? Just because a restaurant chain has a trademark for its use in food doesn't mean I can't register McDonalds computer company and try to follow gateways business model. And, having done that and met the same fate as gateway, do I lose the rights to that name? No, not really... the names and trademarks are sold in bankruptcy filings all the time.

-- Cloning content or offering content on the traditional DNS as well doesn't mean that this is a "failure"... of course in a minority system where most people don't have name coin access to resolve names, you'll provide a mirror on the open net. That doesn't mean name coin isn't useful or a solution to protect your content from censorship-- if the DoJ steals your .com (like they have been increasingly doing lately) you still have your content accessible from the alternative DNS. That's exactly what name coin is for.

Since their primary goal is to get rid of "squatters", their solutions are not really useful and also serve to undermine the purpose of name coin. (Eg: preventing transfer prevents you from securing a name when your key may have been compromised or will be compromised in the future, for example.)

I believe name coin has failed because the browser makers are not integrating alternative DNS schemes.

This is something we should press for in Chrome and Firefox and maybe then get Safari and Explorer to follow suit.
I can't answer your question directly, but one option you might look into is U.S. brokerage accounts. With some of them (Etrade for example) you can get a debit card, direct deposits, wire transfers and other features without as many restrictions as opening a bank account.
I would categorize this as more of a catalyst than a cause. Once the breakdown of family norms begins, this would accelerate the process by putting more young black men into prison, turning some of them into absentee fathers, thus normalizing single motherhood. However, strong family structures tend to discourage illegal or risky behaviors like drug dealing or drug use, leading me to believe that something else must have happened to weaken them before large numbers of black men would end up in prison for drug offenses. Furthermore, I doubt if there is much overlap between the set of "guys who would deal illegal drugs for a living" and the set of "guys who would settle down with the girls they impregnated and be good fathers, if only they weren't in prison." In other words, the increase in drug dealing/use (which facilitated increased incarceration due to draconian drug laws) and the increase in single motherhood were not cause and effect, but rather effects of the same root cause.
Not necessarily. Depression paralyzes you, leaves you too scared to leave the house or do anything.

"Stars" are more likely to be hypomanic. Or just people who like writing or composing music too much :) People like to blame success on mental disease or drugs because it helps them justify their laziness. Also, attempt to claim that Jimi Hendrix or Kurt Kobain wrote their music because they had a self-inferiority complex might be caused by the self-inferiority complex and envy :P
I have a fantastic micro-distillery down the street from my place in Columbus called Middle West Spirits (http://www.middlewestspirits.com/index.php/products/).

Not only are the micro-distilling amazing vodka (and now whiskey and more soon), but they are trying to make it the most sustainable and local based business I have ever seen. Soon the building will be completely solar powered, they are buying everything local (from the raw wheat from local farmers, honey from local beekeepers, to having bottles custom made in lancaster, ohio). The byproducts of the business are being sold/given to various places that can use them positively (acetone goes to a cleaning company, etc). And the price of everything is in the mid $30-range, so they aren't killing us for pricing either. And they are working to get local laws modernized in a positive way to support local distilling, which unfortunately those 'big business' distillers are massively again.

Oh, and the product is outright amazing. Most vodka is downright boring to me, and I prefer scotch, but this is really something that excites me.
and oddly, there's a smiley face denoting Good/Bad/Neutral Energy policies???

So to have good energy policies, drink lots of beer, participate in a gang, drive real fast, be rich, pack a lot of people in a small area, and reuse public buildings...</sarcasm>
The fact that it significantly altered the outcomes is what makes it relevant.

As for the section on per-student spending, that is indeed weaker for the exact reason you describe.

The US is richer than most EU countries and adjusting for PPP only exacerbates this (the US is pretty cheap). Here are PPP-adjusted numbers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_household_...
Gates took Math 55 and called it a "neat experience". Dude is exceptionally intelligent.
I'd say that's not a good example, because Apple never promised that the iPhone would come to Verizon (and Verizon didn't either).
interesting that it is in browser, but they say are "rolling it out... on Android with Froyo (version 2.2) and on iOS devices (version 3.0+) including the iPad" what features does the android 2.1 browser lack the prevents it from being available there?
I'm a Stanford fan, so here's a (nit-picky?) deconstruction of http://cardinalupdate.com/stanford-basketball/game-recap/sta... - the recap of the team's first game.

"Stanford has already started living up to monumental expectations with a good first game": I'm not sure where the "monumental expectations" comes from; Stanford finished below .500 last year and was picked 9th in the Pac-10 preseason media poll.

"Stanford defeated San Diego with domination in offensive rebounding and an additional beat in possession management.": Not sure what "an additional beat in" means here.

"Stanford has incredible expectations for this season, and this victory over Cardinal was a good start.": Should be "over the Toreros" or "for the Cardinal".

Overall, though, it's pretty slick.
I never really cared about the social features. For me Delicious (and now Pinboard) is like a personal knowledge base, supporting my unreliable memory. For example when I want to check my favourite Vim plugins I search for tags vim+plugins+favs.

I have more than 2k entries there collected over the course of the last five years. I only bookmark sites that are for some reason important to me, and have some lasting value (eg. I don't bookmark most HN submissions). I tag everything I save and some of my tags have special semantics that is probably only useful to me.
function foo(a){

Very interesting. Will definitely look into this.

All of our tests right now are implemented as VHDL/Verilog testbenches. We automate building and running in ISim with a simple Python tool which generates xunit output. It works but its slow and kind of painful to manage testcases.

I got baited and switched. I thought I was interviewing for a network/desktop support position, but once I started I was quickly moved to maintaining an MS Access db.

I had no idea what I was doing. I didn't understand what a relational db was or, really even understand how Access was different from Excel. But I had done some little toy programming projects before, and I had the existing code in front of me to work as examples. Turned out I liked programming better than network support. Most of the time, anyway.

I don't fake my skill set, and I don't really recommend it, but I am an uptight nerd. It does work for some people. Another guy said communicate your enthusiasm, and if you can get face to face with someone that can work very well. I think one of the things that got me the job above was my saying, "I like working with computers and tech. Go ahead and give me the loose ends and yucky jobs around here that no one else wants to do, I'll be happy to do them."
These "peaks" should all be within what you are able to hear, because there's no reason for having the headset produce cancelling waves with supersonic frequencies.

If you want to worry about sudden sounds, there are probably more dangerous sources of them out there.

Fresh graduate looking an engineering position in Artificial Intelligence.

I have set my heart on working on something important. I want my work to matter and to make a difference.

I am both fascinated and wary of the progress of AI, and would love a job in the research department, where I could make my own contribution to the field inside the company.

Interested in Computer Vision and its applications to space missions, virtual words and public security.
Very interesting read, thanks for posting it! I'm not really familiar with that domain, could you tell me whether it's possible that the reason Go bots are not as strong as chess bots (in relation to humans) is simply because chess is a much more popular game that, and more time and effort has gone into making those AI stronger? Go is touted as having a much larger search space than chess, but that probably means that it's harder for humans as well, no?
Overthrowing the government and breaking down walls that prevent transparency is surely an epic "hack" in the best sense of the word.

Note to USA: You could learn from this.
If you click the Icon and then on Sound Engine, you can select from different virtualization engines.

My default engine does a 1.5 gain on <200 Hz. If you don't like that, choose "Hajo's echo-free 5.1 system without bass boost" or one of the "(ear plugs)" NEW AUDIO TECHNOLOGY engines. Those don't apply my Headphone Equalizer.
What's the point? It's just an arms race you could never win...
I see this blog post conveniently ignores some details. I suppose this probably isn't surprising, pretty sure his consultancy firm is a client of Comcast's and that aside, has clear skin in the game on the CDN front.

1) The original intent behind Settlement-free Peering was that networks would share similar amounts of data. This was before the time of readily available and cheap hardware that enabled fast interconnections. This was a time when running a network at scale was horribly difficult and even a little "extra" load would bring things tumbling down. This is no longer even remotely true. Comcast's fabric is capable of many-Tbps of throughput.

2)
>> This is where a lot of the confusion starts as many are under the impression that ISPs like Comcast are suppose to allow any transit provider to push an unlimited amount of traffic into their network without any compensation. This isn’t a Comcast specific policy, but rather one that is standard for all ISPs.

No sane person is suggesting this. People instead are suggesting what you later allude to as Comcast looking to double dip (I'll get to that).

3)
>> As a result, Cogent has to take all the necessary business steps to make sure Cogent has enough capacity to pass Netflix’s traffic on from Cogent’s network to Comcast. But Cogent isn’t doing that.

Cogent is refusing to pay the many fold markup that Comcast is demanding for access to its subscribers. Comcast is well aware of its position of power in this. They control access, they're the gatekeeper, and as such know they can charge more than the market rate for transit. Every commercial carrier would balk at being asked to pay $5/Mbps instead of the usual $0.25/Mbps.

3)
>> In a little known, but public fact, anyone who is on Comcast and using Apple TV to stream Netflix wasn’t having quality problems. The reason for this is that Netflix is using Level 3 and Limelight to stream their content specifically to the Apple TV device.

Level3 doesn't have problems because they too have agreed to pay Comcast protection money.

4)
>>Netflix is the one in control of this, not Comcast or any ISP.

Neflix is in control insofar as they control their personal uplinks. Even if they were to privately peer with every residential ISP in the US, they wouldn't be in complete control. Netflix would have to own the last mile to be in control.
IIRC the MSFT 'crash' was on the day they were found guilty of antitrust violations, and a bit before the bubble actually popped.
Charlie Stross features a gay couple in one of his novels, and one of the conditions of their employment for a top secret government office is that they must be explicitly out about their homosexuality - one attends a Pride Parade once a year in order to comply with these regulations.

I thought it was a pretty clever idea.
> The doctor rings true. I had 3 separate doctors on 3 separate occasions diagnose my 21 month old son with an ear infection, instead of the plum-sized malignant brain tumour that it was.

This one is difficult. The first doctor with the first diagnosis was likely doing the right thing. Although tragic, it's exceedingly rare for someone that young to present with a brain tumour.

If a doctor was ordering CT scans every time someone arrived with ear infection symptoms, they statistically be causing more harm than good. CT scans raise an individuals risk of cancer ever so slightly. Not a big deal for individuals, but scaled up to an entire population it's actually a real creator of cancer risk.

Now obviously if you have some serious symptoms then the incremental risk of a CT scan is less than the risk of missing a serious diagnosis. However, jumping straight to the CT scan without good reason would be a mistake. So now doctors are in a position where they must integrate diagnostic history into the equation. Showing up to multiple doctors with an "ear infection" that isn't responding to any treatments warrants deeper investigation. If the issue isn't resolved, proceeding to imaging makes sense.

This is why it's important to begin return visits with a summary of what's been done so far. If you get a doctor who wants to re-start the diagnostic process without accounting for previous work done so far, unfortunately the only real solution is to move on to someone else.
>Clearly, you have no idea of how the moving industry works.

It's really no answer to say I need to understand how each industry works.

Why would I? And why should I? It's the government's responsibility to understand the nuances of, and regulate, each industry.

Do we really want to live in a world where consumers need to understand the detail of how each industry operates so they can ensure sub-sub contractors can be remunerated appropriately?
Highly recommend Ray Dalio's new book: Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed and Fail [1]. If you want interview style he was on the Lex Fridman Podcast #251 too [2].

Takes a look at historical ups and downs and gives hard data without too much colour being added.

A colleague of mine owned a lunchstand, where the cook brought in his own receipt printer and used it for a large portion of daily business, and later bought the business.
I mean... both situations could still be true :-P

I like the sly insult, but I think some of the attitudes today are dumb enough only a very smart person could rationalise them.
I would not want to be a friend to the sort of idiots who would say stuff like this. Having a target painted on my back as a decoy somehow makes it even worse.
I've got a displaylink adapter and run 3 monitors on my M1 mini. I don't do anything intensive on the 2 of the monitors though, so I don't know how it would do if you were doing some crazy 3 monitor gaming. Works fine for software dev though.
OP seems to quite vehemently disagree that they are that alike even though he has more experience with Django than with Laravel. Curious what explains this gap.

Agreed. It's very over the top and just feels super cheesy and 'keyboard warrior'-ish.
Its called hyperbole. Also, this was inspired by https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/, so it make sense to follow the same format.
