By dog whistle, you are suggesting what? By "shared national culture" he's talking about something racist?

Isn't that exactly the "national culture is hateful and outdated" notion he's talking about?
To put things into perspective, someone like that makes $600k+ at FAANG. At a hot new startup they would be making $300k+ base. And these people are in huge demand currently.

If you're expecting this level of compensation I believe a take home task like this is not too much.
It's not about 'rules' or 'regulations.' For some it's about morality. If I find it immoral to eat a dead animal, then why would it be 'ok' because it's 'only chicken broth?' I've still supported (with my money) the death of an animal.

[ Please don't break down into some 'but animals die all the time in the wild,' argument. It's slightly different when we created the animal just for the purpose of killing it for meat. We take issue with the idea of growing full-sized human clones just to harvest for organs in the event that the original needs a transplant (i.e. The Island), so why is it that different for animals? They are still living beings, but our society has been raised to treat them like a commodity. No different than some mineral that was mined out of hole in the ground. Unless they are one of the 'chosen' types of animal (e.g. dog, cat, etc) then it's totally immoral to treat them poorly or (god forbid) eat them. ]
The "less clothes" approach may be more interesting than it appears at first glance.

Sam Wolanyk is legal rights activist who recently won a suit against the City of San Diego for failing to respect his right to openly carry a handgun in public: http://www.responsiblecitizensofcalifornia.org/profiles/blog...

He's a sharp guy who seems well aware of the relevant laws. He seems to have set up his arrest quite consciously. He may prevail here.
Nope. No issues. I'm betting safari gets priority.
Brings new meaning to carbon footprint?
A dropbox server to run locally for company data that we don't want in the cloud (chargeable or free).

Any plans along those lines?
Another interesting fictional example is the factions of Sigil in the D&D Planescape setting.

But there are plenty of real examples to draw on, such as Belgium's separate territorial and community governments.
Id be interested in putting a bubble on my site, but did not see a Demo. I saw Try it which took me to another page asking me to enter a title, which I did and then I hit ok and it took me to another page but did not preview my test bubble. Is there a Demo for users to try beforehand?
Started out with potential and then the author quickly put Steve Jobs' junk in their mouth. The notion that you can only manufacture successful products by controlling both the software and the hardware is not just silly, it's empirically denied.

What a waste of a good submission headline.
I definitely don't want to be the guy getting the 3AM call, but I don't see how going with a VPS saves me from that. Our approach is to have a semi-hot backup with semi-automated fail-over (hopefully fully automated in the future).

Using a VPS simply gives you the ability to get a new server up and running quickly. You'll still get the 3AM call unless you have automated fail-over.
I never said Lieberman is part of it. If you want to distort my words as you please, go ahead. It amuses me. You can accuse me of thread-jacking, but you can't accuse me of Obama-bashing.
Out of curiosity, which was example was the new one, the Ottoman millet system, or modern Belgium?
HN had just switched over to Slicehost less than two months ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1283460
It sounds like you've worked only with deeply flawed REST APIs. You don't need a 1:1 relation between database tables and REST resources. In fact, you don't actually deal with resources directly, but rather resource representations which can abstract many actual data resources Ina single document. If you're using REST like a naive low-level CRUD ORM, you're probably doing something wrong.
Multithreading sacrifices determinism. So, regardless of what you tell it you can't make any claims of exactness about what it's doing.
I spent five years teaching at the University level. The beginning of the end of my academic career was receiving an e-mail from a student explaining one of my (programming) assignments and asking if they could write this one too. To me this was an obvious case of VERY incorrectly choosing the "to" address for an e-mail.

I immediately contacted my department head and was ready to apply the school's academic dishonesty policy, which would lead to--at least--failure of the course. It didn't happen. The student came up with a lame excuse, I was chided for harassing the student, and it was all swept under the rug. I was tempted to resign in protest, but kept with it for two more years before quietly leaving academics.

I enjoy teaching, I think I'm good at it and my students tended to agree. Unfortunately, I can't make myself teach in the current educational system here in the US.
This seems like a great service. The world is moving more and more towards using English as a universal language, and I think that plenty of non-native speakers are at a disadvantage, because they cannot communicate their ideas well enough. For example, of the best-selling business authors, how many are non-native English speakers? I bet not that many. That means that English speakers have a disproportionate influence.
All the more reason why I hope that history remembers multithreaded programming as an experiment gone horribly wrong.
I love how instead of getting to the crux of the argument (ie. this thing is malware) his first point is about how the malicious code does not use unique function names that could possibly collide with other code.

damn geeks.

You consider "not maintainable" to be an acceptable downside to _anything_ you're doing with your software? What?
Most of your other comments are fair about Audtralia. This one is not.
Australia has always been apathetic - "she'll be right" was our catch cry. Until recently (the last 20 years or so), we maintained that casual attitude.
Since then, we have culturally become Americanised through TV and movies. With it has come a callousness and a higher level of sophistication and a greater sense of entitlement.
I would suggest two points. It's a combination of apathy and self-focus that are driving our indifference to draconian policy. The second point is that the crimes you accuse Australia of are typical throughout the west. While I don't like to see what Australia has become, other western countries are no better.
Does anyone remember the blue ribbon campaign about free speech from the 90s? I went into all of the Australian IRC channels before the news hit. I called for my fellow Australians to rise to protect their freedoms. I don't think I've been attacked so viciously by so many people before or since that day.. That was and still remains Australia's apathy.
Like you, I feel we are in the minority in Australia. Social consciousness and concern for others rights is not on the landscape.
What a mess. To support a stupid HTML feature, the browser's parser has to be set up like a superscalar CPU, retirement unit and all. Hopefully the discard operation doesn't happen very often.

i86 CPUs have to do something like this if you store into code just ahead of execution. That was an optimization technique marginally useful in the 1980s. Today it's a performance hit. The CPU is happily looking ahead and decoding instructions, when one of the superscalar pipelines has a store into the instruction stream. The retirement unit catches the conflict between an instruction fetch on one stream and a store into the same location in another. The CPU stalls as instructions up to the changed instructions are committed. Then the CPU is flushed and cleared as for a page fault or context switch, and starts from the newly stored instruction.

Only x86 machines do this, for backwards compatibility with the DOS era. The same thing seems to have happened in the browser area.

(Prospective fetching should be disabled on devices where you pay for data traffic. Is it?)
For me, it's the code. Making existing code better, finding elegant solutions, learning new tools and tricks, and helping other programmers improve. When the code's new, it's like sculpting crossed with poetry, but testable. When the code's old and crufty it's like restoring an old car.

I'm just glad that a big stable company is willing to pay me to do it, I don't really care that we're not curing cancer. Taking personal pride in a business you don't own invites heartbreak anyway...
When Syfy is adding shows about the paranormal, there is reason to worry.
SourceForge has been a POS and dead to me for many years.

I'm not sure it ever achieved "mightyness". Back when VA failed at what they were trying to do and started SourceForge, it was needed and they deserve praise for trail-blazing / attempting something big. But, I never really felt they carried through successfully.
The black box thing, really looks like a monad.
I loved the article! Thank you for sharing it.

Even if I am moving my first steps into the industry (I'm a simple trainee at a Tech-StartUp and MSc student) I've already experienced many times the first point. I think trying to keep your feet (and mind) on the ground, even when you have a huge expertise is fundamental in communication, teamwork and goals' chasing.

For example a friend of mine, graduated in one of the top programs in europe at Rotterdham Business School, has a huge expertise in the R language, he is able to manage data promptly at work, efficiently delivering in 2 hours what his colleagues do on Excel in the whole day. However he has big problems in communication here in Italy, he is not able to understand what other people with different background/expertise are asking to him precisely and this is becoming a huge issue in terms of career development.
Did the current political situation in US (and most of the world) not teach you that it's really really dangerous to think that most people in your environment conform to your morality and agree with the sources you're basing it from?
Same. What I want out of every communication product is the same: reliable, boring, and get out of my way. Humans innately know how to communicate with each other. They know how to make jokes, get info across, make hints, etc. we don’t need technology for the content of the communication

We need the transportation. Make it reliable, fast, and non interfering. That’s it. That’s why Zoom rocks. It just works
Yes, this is largely by design. It should be obvious to you - the user - what the connection describes. If not, you can create a unit in the middle with a small title or something like that. You can also include e.g. an image, text, table or such in the unit, that will be shown directly, if a title is missing. You can describe anything you like like that. Have you also noticed, Ctrl + clicking, Shift + dragging a square or Ctrl + a work as expected for multi-selections? This can help e.g. when working with colours/ arrowhead styles as semantic helpers.

If you have any questions also regarding the technology or pretty much anything, you can also let us know by sending an email to: support [at] orgpad [dot] com

OrgPad is developing quite rapidly, it is likely, some things will be improved considerably in the future.
They didn't say they copy-paste code. They pointed out that the algorithm's actual code could very easily be copy-pasted from, e.g., Stack Overflow, without deeply understanding it. By contrast, describing an algorithm in natural language demonstrates actual understanding.
They're running from a tower to my roof, so they can't be buried. (I just relay what the installer told me; I don't know anything about the details.)
> So GPT-3 does very well with 2-digit addition and okay with 2-digit multiplication, but can't abstract to 6-digit arithmetic.

This is false, GPT-3 can do 10-digit addition with ~60% accuracy, with comma separators. Without BPEs it would doubtlessly manage much better.
Btw the majority of those who “left for healthcare” are the Canadian old folks who spend half the year in America and have insurance as a result.
Thank you for this link on how sharks give birth. I never thought the subject would be so fascinating.

Paper prototyping will give you very quick feedback, especially if you can talk a living, breathing potential customer into being your guinea pig. In fact, without that, it's worth a lot less.

If you can't find a hot lead to sit in the driver's seat, then that might tell you something about both your idea and the market you're aiming at.
Treating the animals better would still be better than irradiation.
If you don't feel like working, start writing about it.

Remember that scene in Social Network when Mark would come to his room angry, and start blogging?

I don't know why, by that works for me when I'm lazy to work. Writing is easy, it's just putting your thoughts on the paper. And we like to write.

So why not start writing about what you have to do, and why you have to do it. Spend a few minutes doing it, and you will find yourself working.

This happened to me this morning. I'm working on a little project of mine, and I can't get myself to open up Xcode and start coding.

I recalled I had to write an email to my teacher, explaining this project and why it's so cool. I wrote that email and it really got me going.

Now I'm writing this comment and that helps too.
The typo in the title of this very HN submission is a perfect demonstration of why this startup has an awful name…
Hello gary4gar,

1) Libraries offer functionality, they don't change the nature of the language. With this respect, jQuery & al. are not different from libraries you use with java or .Net. This is the same thing as considering the browser API (DOM etc) to be the JRE lib in Java and other libraries just extending the functionality.

2) Or the Google Web Toolkit which uses the Browser's Javascript engine as a form of bytecode interpreter. It is an efficient technique allowing for very compact programmes.

Javascript won't be changed (too much) because it is not broken - it brings an untyped system, closures and other goodies which just recently entered java, not to mention the benefit that it speeds up development because it does not require compilation. Adding libraries and frameworks is what happens just alike to any other programming language which allows other users to bring in new functionality and a different way of thinking.
There was a site that ran the calculations. Assuming terabyte sized blocks you would be able to fund multiple $20 million dollar data centers per year. By fund I mean build new ones.
Question: does Apple do the same for their apps on iOS?
Facebook friend suggestions are such garbage. Half of them are legitimate acquaintances. Half of them are random women from south america.

I've never interacted with anything that should bring those up and I've never clicked on that sort of suggestion. The only reason I can think they'd show me them is my demographic, 30 something male. I haven't clicked on anything on FB or elsewhere on the web that should be getting me random foreign women as friend suggestions.

Facebook is terrible quality and has no idea what it's doing.
No, no, we're not selling murdered puppies! How could you think that!

We only sell the finest artisanal sausages rendered from gently-euthanised young canines.
And yet, not as strict. It's a revolving door with high recidivism.

Violent crime tends to scale more with poverty. The relationship with firearm laws is weak. See: the U.K.
Nothing is wrong with "forward slash.
I wonder if Apple is in a sort of competition with Facebook.

Probably they are competing for engineers, Messenger / WhatsApp vs iMessage, time spent on Facebook content vs on Apple content and other things I'm missing.

On the other side they benefitted from the popularity of Facebook (and many other internet properties companies) because they gave an extra reason to people to buy smartphones and using them a lot.
Yes, but desire to do well on a canned test, which AFAIK does little more than flatter your ego if you score high.

Personally, I always got really excited by these tests as a kid, but looking back I sort of admire anyone who blew them off because they would rather be playing outside.
It does mean reducing their budget though, and with a potentially long lasting insurrection ahead you either need public police or private...
And all major Exchanges are down. Seems they learned nothing from 2017. Amateurs.

This is just sad.
No disrespect intended, but why is this needed? VScode is free, cross-platform, extremely easy to use, and you can run jupyter notebooks in it. I can't imagine telling someone to start python and not starting them in a notebook.
Rendering differences is the reasons. To get the site to look consistent across all major browsers and platforms Cufon is the only practical option at the moment.

The licensing issues is a problem of its own even with image replacement... even if it's a server-side image replacement like Flir. Many foundries are still scared sh#tless of the Internet and are overly protective of their work. Some are not, for example - surprise - Adobe and Dalton Maag. For other fondries however it's a business decision. For example, one cannot use any of HF&J fonts such as Gotham and Archer online in any form or fashion. They are building their own font service. Anytime you see a site sporting Gotham under Cufon, it's an explicit license violation.

So in short - if you are considering using a font with an image replacement, check the license. If it is not explicitly permitted, then in all likelihood it is disallowed. If still set on using this font, email foundry and ask.

I have an obsessive personality and often become passionately absorbed by different things. I have worked as an artist and as a metallurgist and many things between. I have always (rightly) feared is that my constant switching has left me stretched.A Jack of all Trades but a master of none.
I am OK with that.
Yes it did. But the stated hopes of most of the posters on this submission seem to be that they will be a viable competitor to the big server chip manufacturers.
I'm looking forward to all the new and improved things now that this long-standing problem has been addressed. I've known so many people with good ideas for it who spent their finite time and energy on other projects instead because of the name.

Why people get so mad about this is beyond me. Every time it comes up, everyone including the developers says "fork it to change the name." Then someone does it, and now that's a problem.
Well what “choice” did you make to food on your table?
Well, so sorry. If things are as bad as you sketch them then there may as well be a guild.

Science is first and foremost about understanding, and writing in a way that purposefully obfuscates and makes it harder to understand what is communicated is anathema to true science.
You're worried about the wrong things. No one is going to be hurting for food or rebelling if EBT is taken away. As you've seen, it pays for indulgences. The same WalMart that sells Ben & Jerry's sells flour at 0.025 dollars/ounce. People can eat flapjacks pretty cheap. And with their own money!

The real victims if EBT goes away? Ben & Jerry's.

Other anecdotes for those who've never been poor: A favorite sight is big-fat-mama paying for a cart full of shit with EBT, and then big-fat-papa rolling up behind paying for a cart full of Bud Lite out of a roll of cash. Love that. Another is hearing about people who got off EBT reminiscing about buying steak and lobster (yes) when it was someone else's money.

It's total waste. Just go back to government cheese and all the "problems" with nutrition will still be "solved" and Ben & Jerry's (and Gino's pizza, and the beef council, and indirectly Budweiser, can go screw.)
Most of this tracking can be blocked with something like a pi hole: https://pi-hole.net/
This looks a bit like Zite (http://www.zite.com), which was launched recently. It got sued due to copyright issues.
Just an FYI: most folks on the Internet don't use lakhs as a unit. The only reason I know what you mean is because I managed Indian outsourcing operations for a while. (FYI for everyone else: lakhs means 100,000 and a crore is 10 million.)

I don't have your problems with source control. The Linux project probably has somewhere in the neighborhood of that, and since git was built for Linux, I would not bet on it being architecturally impossible for git to scale that far. The more serious problem I see coming down the pipe is getting your entire team to adopt DVCS workflows. For example, you'll probably end up moving away from having one person whose sole job is making sure merges don't explode into firey balls of death. Distribution of responsibility for making merges happen well could, conceivably, cause problems for a segment of your developers.
Is this more flexible than using something like justin.tv ? How is this different?
Too be honest. I just don't know that industrial carbon emissions rival those of a super-volcanoes or that of an apocalyptic asteroid slamming into Earth. 100 years isn't a lot of time to measure our affect on the grander scheme. Not saying our recent environmental efforts are for naught, but I do believe that when all is said and done and humans are extinct, our impact on Earth will have been negligible.

This was disturbing. I'm fairly sure that there must be tacit agreement for a party to "snoop" in certain states. Could this lead to law suits?

I'm already creeped out with GPS. Sound analysis is just going too far. Cool or not, I really don't want to share that much. And even for the most open of us, can you imagine the information gathered? i.e. seems like you are having sex. want to know which of your friends is having sex right now too? creepy.

Considering that I work at one of the world's largest independent creative / marketing firms, I know this will be abused. It always is. We push. You push back.
And no one noticed.
I'm at 5900, and haven't even been on HN all year... That's a little worrying.
I might as well argue that women started polygamy so more of them could be with the top males. If you lack all of the things it might take to attract female partners (health, money, power, social status, charisma, intelligence, humor, etc.) to the extent that you're getting left out of sex, you don't have the clout to design and implement new institutions.
I would love to see a list of financial institutions included. I checked www.bankofamerica.com and secure.bankofamerica.com on SSL labs found both to have identical (B-grade) security.

Redirecting to HTTPS is heavily encouraged by the HSTS spec.[1] Clients are just as easily man-in-the-middled if you refuse connections on port 80. The middleman can connect to your HTTPS and use it to send valid (though maliciously corrupted) HTTP responses to the client.

There's only one way to ensure clients aren't MitM'ed on first connect: Go to https://hstspreload.appspot.com/ and submit your site to Chrome's HSTS preload list. Firefox slurps Chrome's list from time to time. The lists are shipped with browser updates, so the whole process takes months.
