I don't really buy the privacy paranoia anymore these days. It was the internet that first grew the distance between people so that we could pretend-anonymous say things about anything without repercussion an it will be the internet that shrinks that distance down to where you better be talking about what matters to you and putting your money where your mouth is.

In ten years I'll be sharing and leaking at least 10x as much information out of all kinds of devices. 90% of my engagement will happen inside programs will be automatically syncing data across cloud services. Security is inevitably a growing target in the networked world, and privacy requires security. Increasingly for the sake of productivity and collaboration, everything I use will be sharing and syncing more and more. The desire of most people to be connected and productive, not some autocratic slide in the worlds governments will be the death of privacy.

One of the features of Facebook I liked in the early days was just the slight exclusiveness that made it basically okay to talk about having a giant hangover without fear of looking like an alcoholic to an interviewer scratching up dirt (I think zero interviews I care about do this). When Facebook started making the defaults public etc without notifications, there was understandably some uproar about being unknowingly thrust out into the public. Eroding privacy causing blunders is not the same thing as not having privacy. For the most part anxiety about not being able to control your privacy or security really need to be analyzed in the context of just how hidden you really need to make your words (in the case of anti-dissent government) or actions (in the case of socially conservative laws) to be able to practice or advocate what it is you care about. To an almost absolute degree, very little of things you want to see in the world that don't exist yet are going to require going to war for the cause of security or privacy before your end goals can be pursued, so it's just not really worth it.

EFF does great work to defend people against stupid laws and to promote better laws with regard to IP etc. They protect anonymity for regular people that happen to cosplay and have very odd taste in character appropriateness. However, the area where the EFF pulled really hard to ensure that the future of the internet would be egalitarian in the United States was about Title II common carrier law, not about privacy. The 1st amendment protects what you say, not some mythical right to say it without consequences; you only get that when nobody cares about your opinion. Even in the case of socially conservative laws, stand up for respect for individual beliefs before you stand up for privacy as an extra-social cure.

Privacy is not close to as fundamentally important as the security that is required to achieve it, and privacy advocacy is to an extent like whining about how someone took your tree-house and you can't have any secret clubs anymore. Most privacy is not used to do productive things, and few productive things outside of already entrenched, authoritarian governments require privacy to pursue.
Do you have any goals that you've set for yourself? I've found that having specific goals with specific actionable and measurable items in them, helps with my procrastination.

Everyone is different, but sometimes external pressure keeps me on my toes. If I feel laziness setting in, I pre-emptively make a promise to someone that I'm going to deliver X by Y date.

Another thing cuold be to meet often with your team and discuss how you guys are making progress. It can give you a sense of purpose when you discuss shared-goals with your teammates.

Or maybe your job has gotten to be too mundane and you might benefit from switching jobs (although that can obviously backfire if your new job sucks worse :P).

Basically you need to just figure out what makes you tick and apply pressure accordingly. Nobody has a internal fountain of infinite intrinsic motivation. Everyone needs a nudge/push/shove every now and then.
Sorry, I didn't mean to come off as a troll!

The OP originally struck me as a negative comment but reading it again makes me think it was more of just an observation.

I wasn't trying to say having one language is a good/bad thing, but everyone having say, a common language, could benefit all as it opens up more possibilities with people.

I'm not sure I came off right in the second sentence. I meant as if people only chose English and leaving behind their heritage / culture (as amichail suggested below) that would be bad.

Yes, I'm an English only speaker (I believe the majority of the world are bilingual now too), and so are my parents :)
There's different kinds of best. I think its fair to say that a lot these people are the best when it comes to the scoped problem of consumer apps (and similarly, the Google guys are terrible at this, and they're both important fronts -- I don't think Google could have pulled of the original Mac which is just as important as many of the problems they work on). And as such, I don't feel that because you are "just" a consumer app guy its fair to essentially say stick to these trivialities.

Imagine the design sense of some of these guys applied to medical or scientific apps. It would be incredible. I see my father use the most horrific and inefficient web interfaces in the universe to find papers or do gene cutting. Now there's a space waiting to be disrupted with usability.
That sounds like an all-round illegal scheme. First, in order to get a H-1B you need an actual job offer, and with the application the employer is certifying that they will pay that rate. There is no such thing as a "middle man", you can't simply apply for an H-1B for someone with the intent of them going looking for a job when they get here.
Seth Godin, Gary Vaynerchuk and Tim Ferriss are involved too.
This vaguely reminds me of John Resig's TestSwarm project (http://ejohn.org/blog/test-swarm-alpha-open/). Although I'm not sure what the current status of the project is since the links to the site and github project are now dead:

http://testswarm.com/

https://github.com/jeresig/testswarm

This seems like it would be an ideal starting point for a project like this.
Okay. If it helps, the formatting for _The Little Schemer_ is very distinctive: a lot of short question-and-response pairs, with (perhaps overly) cutesy drawings of elephants. _The Seasoned Schemer_ is harder, but it's the sequel.

If you like the format, _The Little MLer_ is one of the best intros I've seen to ML-style type systems.
For main views, I feel the same way. For some subviews, I don't. I hate having my MainWindow as a xib (like the default project does which is why I created my own default project). For those simple views, I'll use IB. For my UITableViews (and all the form input version of those), it's straight code. It's easier then pulling teeth with IB.
We were actually looking at Brooklyn or Queens.

Two of us have been best friends since about 8 years old, so I don't think social issues would be a problem there.

You pretty much have captured what my goal is: Be frugal to extend our runway despite our personal savings.
100 hours is quite a long time. If the wholesale electricity price is $9/kWh during these super peaks and you have a 10kW generator, that’s $9000.
Thanks, that really looks like a good format.
You forgot no share dilution in this offtopic tangent. Every stock out there can double their issuance if they want to.
The poster above is buying Yeezy's to wear them though. If you're buying shoes to wear them, then it's a different evaluation than if you're buying the shoes to later resell them. For someone trying to use the shoes, you have to compare the value proposition to other (non-asset) shoes on the market. And I suspect that Yeezy shoes at 220 dollars don't improve very much on 100 dollar shoes, but I've never worn any myself.

edited to add: I have nothing against buying Yeezy's or any other premium product. If it makes you happy and you have the money, go for it! But in terms of pure utility over competitors, it's usually not very good.
Possibly. I mean, I'm a stereotypical East Coast liberal "elite SJW" so the founder's question would have been perfectly acceptable to me (if I were the GP of the fund). I would say that the closer a fund is to one of the coastal centers of influence …the more complex and restrictive the partnership documents have been.
If a company goes bankrupt, you can get a good estimate of the true intrinsic value at a previous point in time by summing all cash flows paid to shareholders adjusted for time and estimated risk.
Sounds like the people who sell weapons(the war kind) have a strong hold on our governments through lobbying/corruption. Is there a career politician that speaks out against these systems? It feels like the governments work for them, not the people. What do?
(IANAL.)

Without looking into the CUDA licenses (who knows, they might even expressly allow this kind of thing, but seems pretty unlikely to me), I'd expect this to be a case of whether "APIs are copyrightable" or not, same as the famous and sort of still ongoing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_LLC_v._Oracle_America,_....

The US courts said "yes" in this case (note: 100% stupid IMO), but I'm not confident that nVidia'd have an easy win if they decided to sue the developer, and I'm also relatively sure they wouldn't send a DMCA request at this stage (and that if they did, their request would probably be reviewed harder than normal).
Most of the items on that list are pretty realistic, but there are a few you can safely ignore. For example image the response you'd get trying to sign up for a bank account (in person), if you told them you didn't have a name.
Generally wifi noise "from neighbers" Comes from a bunch of independent radio groups that happen to use all of the specture. When you have a single AP home it doesn't matter if there are 5,000,000 devices on it to your neighbors it's when you get that second AP in another channel that's noise.
Any chance of one that doesn't look like a Macbook clone?

If it came in certain tasteful colors, that would get my wife to switch from Apple to Linux. (She works in the fashion industry.)
Haha I don't think I understood the concept of units 10 years ago
No it's not! The parent listed other phones as options, not "do without a phone".

Following your weird examples the parent's comment is like saying you don't have to buy a *Ford* car, or a *Carrier* AC. There are many more car and AC options if you don't like Ford or Carrier.
does it support nested comments?
Much of the bad nutrition advice of the past few generations (e.g., the food pyramid, "good" vs. "bad" fats, etc.) was regularly propagated by family physicians. That is the very definition of most people's interaction with the medical world.

The suicide rate at Foxconn is much less than the rate in China as a whole, according to this. Doesn't this support the premise that Foxconn is actually a better place to work, in China?
This article is made entirely of speculation, stitched together by leaps of the imagination. An "environment of bullying?" "Wars between groups?"
I disagree. However, I wish he had more to say about how to pick your market.
Unfortunately, Apple seems to be doing an excellent job creating fear, uncertainty and doubt among developers all on their own.

It's no doubt true that most app developers will never run afoul of Apple, but every time Apple yanks an application that it had formerly approved it makes people wonder if it could happen to them.
There's a strange parallel to the evolution of life on Earth. Took about a billion years before the simplest single-celled organism developed all the basic mechanisms/components, and then a few hundred million years from complex multicelled organisms, and finally a huge explosion in diversity in the last hundred million years. I wonder if evolution and technological progress plotted on the same relative logarithmic scale would overlay each other?
Patrick (Patio11) wrote (still writes occasionally) extensively about his experience running his business from Japan.
> and thus some of the benefit is lost because you've increased costs for the people you're helping

This is nonsensical. If paying that one dollar in taxes necessitated raising the prices, then the company spending it on insurance would also necessitate raising prices.
Please don't take HN threads further into ideological flamewar. We're trying to avoid that here.

I'm in Slovakia. The IPv6 adoption is below 1% and the ISPs don't plan IPv6 rollout because "We have enough IPv4 addresses.". Nowhere I ever had native IPv6 available on home connection, it is option only to business clients.
>is ASCII art not text based?

ASCII is, but this isn't text-based. It's Firefox Quantum based, and then it probably downsamples graphics to represent them as ASCII while also scraping text.

It's very much just a text-based frontend, not a text-based browser, for a regular browser.

In hindsight this might not _literally_ use ASCII art, but hopefully the point gets across.

>the whole point of doing something different is to stray away from the traditional

Sure, but I genuinely see the value prop for brow.sh. It's strictly heavier than Firefox assuming it offloads the JS execution and at least some of the rendering to headless Firefox.

RE: your use case, why not just set up transparent HTTP proxies that enforce whitelists on those hosts? That's a much less cumbersome solution.
If I switch internally I think I can avoid the pay cut. If I look outside I become a junior dev again in X technology, x could be .Net/C# or Python.
Back in the days of the early internet it wasn't free to host images. You paid for a web host, had your own site, and hosted what you want. But you paid!

It is. Should you give up hunting that mastondon and instead look for easier and less risky prey?

You are, whether you consciously realize it or not. You are always making cost-benefit choices. Watch TV or read a book. Play with kid or have a beer with buddies. Etc.
I see. Yes, right now product tour demonstrates the features but putting in an actual case study can really drive home the point of A/B testing. Thanks for this feedback.
You are lucky. Pneumomediasitnum gets particularly nasty if you the reason you have it is a torn esophagus, and you have partially eaten food (along with the air) leaking into the sack around your heart.
Chicken (http://www.call-cc.org/), or anything that compiles to C in general.
Nah, macros are cool. Of course you need to use them properly, you can use operator overloading the wrong way too, and you can drink beer to have a good night out with friend or you can become the drunk on the main square asking for nickles from passers by.

A nice macro which implements foreach() for C++ is in boost, (BOOST_FOREACH), in foreach.hpp. It's documentation page has an overview of the design considerations that went into making this a 'safe' macro. It's quite informative for learning what to look out for when writing macros.
Aside from the ease of sound suppressing them, and the small size of the weapons, there is a reason some of the best hit squads in the world use the .22lr!

Admittedly, a .22WMR is pretty much a different animal than the .22lr. Out of a rifle, it would have probably been a through and through, assuming a FMJ bullet -- you'd probably get 2000fps for a 40gr. A JSP might not have, and out of a Ruger Single Six, it's a lot closer to a really hot .22lr rifle.
I have a similar anecdote, and strangely enough, a similar reaction.

A group of us were preparing for an IDPA match at a local gun range. One of our most experienced members got a little too complacent and was joking with a friend after finishing a course of fire. He ignored the range safety officer standing next to him. He didn't clear his weapon before he holstered it, and as he holstered it, his hand slipped and the weapon discharged.

We all thought he was fine, and so did he. The range safety officer was in the middle of yelling at him when one of the other members noticed that the guy was bleeding pretty heavily from his right leg. He'd given himself a nice 9mm through-and-through wound to the calf.

The round didn't hit anything important, and we got the bleeding stopped and him off to a hospital without much problem.

A few weeks later, before our next shoot, our group met with a local paramedic and an ER doctor for an informal crash course in gunshot trauma treatment.
Who do you think you are, Sigmund Freud?
Of course Jews and Christians have a right to live in the Middle East. I hope you are not an Israeli and if you are that you belong to the lunatic fringe.
Not much of a source really, it's just some random dudes tweet, with no real explanation. Also it assume (correctly in most case) that %G or YYYY isn't what you where looking for.

If you're going to throw something like this out on the internet, I would like it to be more detailed. Just blasting it out on Twitter is pretty useless.

Reproduction: `date -u "+%G"`, sorry but that does EXACTLY what it's suppose to: [http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/str...].

Depending on your operating system it's even documented.
OpenBSD has a pretty good documentation for it, while Mac OS X is somewhat lacking, but to the point where you wouldn't use it without checking what it actually means.[http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man3/...]

Why would you even pick %G if that wasn't what you meant, %Y seems more obvious. Using YYYY I can understand, it's a bit of gotcha that YYYY is one thing and yyyy is something less. It even test correctly more often than not.
Testimonies can by themselves end up into a conviction. I am not sure this is comparable. When a crime is committed any evidence is welcome to try and solve it. Investigators are not "choosing" their type of evidences like you can choose a type of digital protection.
"> Only hackers, miscreants and pedophiles use Tor." you must be a full blown moron. Tor is used by journalists, bloggers, gov employees, chinese dissidents and all sorts of ppl in peril. go shoot yourself
Yep, that's basically true. If the development of a language like Python started at about this time, I bet it would be in the same position as Nim.

But how can you get a major company to get behind Nim when the all want to have their own programming language?
Yeah, completely ignorant design: http://i.imgur.com/QWGUw31.png

It's actually more than that unless you meant just the USA, not both north and south america.
This looks like complete arse to me. 30 international games can span a 5-6 year period, during which time a completely new crop of players can emerge. Where does form come into the equation?, England's performance the other night was dismal, while Germany looked like potential winners. I've no clue how Mexico made the top eight, perhaps because they're based in Central America, and the competition isn't that stiff? And winners of the previous world cup, Italy, in behind them at number 8??? ... get real!!
You are assuming that the total miles driving is linear correlated with number of accidents, which is probably not a valid assumption. I don't have the data, but intuitively there would be more accident later on in a long trip. I know for sure that I am a much better driver in the morning commute to work than in the one back home after a long day.
Extended can include two-parents, which is marked as extended not two-parent in this study.

So you can't tell.

I would think most extendeds in the 38% are two-parent. But it's a good question. Many single parents would also be marked as extended.
I remember it was 25ms last month, but they keep improving
IT is a cost center. Engineering drives revenue.
No, because I've gotten comments from dang for taking potshots at faceless corporations.
As much as I am on the WSB side of this fiasco, I still agree it was mature and smart for Gamestop not to make an opinion or jump on this in any form. It would have been a legality mine field for them to cross and properly capitalize on. Public companies are under a lot more scrutiny than private ones. Dont assume inaction was just because they're stupid. Theres zero wrong with picking and choosing battles that you know you can win. They probably saw this as so drastically out of their control, it would be too difficult not to get swept up in the turmoil.

But I do believe they made some good on the momentum, just not publicly. Probably got some more exec's from other companies willing to come aboard that they're still negotiating with.

Which would be those? I am not sure how "promiscuity" can be measured.
I think it is still tricky. When the big boss assembles a team (which doesn’t happen normally) and asks “hey figure out whether we need to buy this stock”, it still could be construed as acting based on insider information.
That's because they can't, in the US trademarks are scoped to the domain they exist in.

I'm not american either, but I'm pretty sure he was referring to the westboro baptist church.
The Nokia App Wizard (now called the Xpress Web app builder[1]) was exactly the same. All it did was let you "app-ify" a website or a feed. There were LOADS of junk apps on the Ovi Store at the time built using this wizard.

It didn't help that a couple of the Nokia blogs were app-ified and presented as "Featured apps" on the Ovi Store -- these "apps" would shove the app builder branding in your face, which meant more people were aware of this tool and used it to build their own "apps".

I know why I ditched that ecosystem as soon as I had the means!

Pretty much what the other reply said: very damp and cold. Having lived in Spokane for a few years too the summers are also fairly brutal. That region has pretty extreme temperatures both ways.
Two Dimensions of Consciousness: Arousal and Awareness Consciousness is a multifaceted concept that has two dimensions: arousal, or wakefulness (i.e., level of consciousness), and awareness (i.e., content of consciousness).

Probably the closest we ever got in the US to a home PDP-11 was sold via Heathkit as the H-11 and H-11A. These had standard QBUS cards packaged in a Heathkit chassis.

At the time, in high school, I drooled over the thought of having one, especially since the school had its own 11/34. In retrospect, it would have been fun but literally nobody I knew would have had one.

It's ironic that the biggest single market for home PDP-11 clones was... the Soviet Union.
Maybe not in the HN bubble, but certainly outside. Many people don't give a fuck if it's smart or dumb, they buy what the salesman in the store manage to sell them. "Smart" sounds... Smart, so easy sell.
