Of course the students blamed the professor: they've been taught by example throughout their lives that the proper reaction to fucking up is to point the finger at everyone else.

An incredible lack of personal responsibility is a growing problem in this generation.
That's what my original thought was, but it didn't contribute anything to the discussion and wasn't really funny, or witty Given HNs population I had hoped you did author these tools. That you have so many votes is disheartening.
Without giving away the solution I would say that a well-equipped Firefox is a better tool than curl to complete this particular challenge :)
Are these reports from first hand experience or can you site your sources?

In particular, I'm curious how you'll back up the "but a notable part of it was due to decreasing the number of people as well," considering USSR's population grew during the period you are describing [1].

Have you taken a look at mpd and its accompanying CLI frontends? Tunneling X applications over SSH isn't popular because there's almost always a CLI application that accomplishes the same thing.
"Censorship" comes from the roman word, censor, which was an office of the Roman government in charge of regulating morality.

IOW, censorship has always specifically meant government restrictions speech. It is only recently that censorship has been broadened to include no-governmental actors, and that broadening is not universally accepted.
The Democrats were known to have won the house and presidency somewhat earlier. A Trump-inspired mob had not yet stormed the Capitol.
You’re right, but not in the way I think you mean. It is convenient that they waited for the winds to turn before enforcing their rules without special dispensation for high profile trump pals. They should have had the courage to do it sooner.
These are basic calls for violence that twitter checkmarks get away with daily. Twitter doesn’t care if it’s directed at the people that they want dead.
Science and academia are dead.
Do you mean he would use nuclear weapons against its own people?

What's the stop gap for the military in case an order this crazy would be made? Is he respected enough in the military circles that they would carry out his command?

well a new post is up .. with the same poll - http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/conspiracy-theory-what-ha...
Agreed!

Gladwell's work is entertaining and mildly thought provoking. Sure, his work can be broken down into a pattern or formula but his execution is fantastic.

Just like creating anything else in life:

Starting up a software business = think of a solution, talk to customers, write some code, repeat until you've built something of value.

Writing any essay = brainstorm some ideas, write them down, edit and proof-read, repeat until you've got a polished paper.

I guess success draws a lot of criticism.
Btw I always thought emailing a password back is just a habit from the past emerged with thousands of quick-n-dirty php apps in late 90s and this meme is copied till today "because others do it", and surely it's not any thoughtful application workflow.

What exactly do you have in mind telling this is dependent on the nature of the application? What type of applications should encourage it? Just curious.
Same with my N95. Excluding the touchscreen, it's like Apple is finally catching up to 2007 :). Oh wait, my N95 has some horrible Flash implementation so they're not done yet!

In all seriousness though, the completeness of the feature set was /never/ what made the iPhone popular. In the Apple vs Android debate, it's worth remembering that marketing was the key to its success.
A nicer way of saying "gang rape"?
I wish I could speak for Arc, but sadly I can't say that I know more than superficialities. Hopefully someone else can chime in. Let me say that the example with `let` is just a small example of an over-arching trend in the way Clojure code looks vs. CL. I would love to hear more about Arc's approach.
Don't we put our children in bicycles, knowing that they'll fall and hurt themselves? Does that mean we don't care about our children? Of course not. How is it different if God gives us the ability to love and to hate, to cherish and to steal, to be selfless or to be selfish. We all get to choose a unified aspect that will make the world better or worse, for others. We can't force others to be better, only ourselves, but we can help others.

If we learn, as individuals, to be better people, under all circumstances, is that not the same as learning to ride a bike? And once we learn to ride our bike, perhaps there'll be other things to learn too.
So meaningful search results are going to get even worse. Ugh.
> He snagged a Pulitzer for a story about something that never had any primary source, that was entirely fabricated by political operatives then working for Hillary Clinton's campaign.

There was a multi-year government report indicating that "the Russian government 'interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion' and 'violated U.S. criminal law'."

>The lipid hypothesis used to be a theory

>Science started looking at the lipid theory and it's all fraud.

I'm sorry, but even the most cursory of google searches indicates that this is not at all correct.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_hypothesis#Consensus
A DAO could have a privileged user (voted in by the DAO of course) who has the ability to blocklist specific addresses that aren't explicitly on an allow-list. Then the DAO vote could add accounts to the allow-list.

Doing so would mean the token could be transacted, except by users who are on the blocklist and not on the allow-list. And this would prevent a privileged user from abusing the power to add accounts to the block-list. Getting unblocked at the speed of DAO is less of a concern, as long as blocked account-holders can still vote with their tokens.
I realize that 'personal DRM' is this idea taken to the extreme but I am not promoting this. I am promoting something akin to "deleting a post off my blog will probably take it off google search and out of the public eye, even if someone maybe saved it." I am always amused whenever I 'bypass' facebook privacy by hotlinking to a URL of an image and I realize that anyone who can take screenshots can archive as much data as possible. However, I think there is an important role to be had for deleting things that people haven't seen yet and (hopefully) without any explicit record of doing so. It has to do more with curbing the social spread of information rather than technical spread of information -- sure anyone can archive all posts and try to uncover deletions but that might be too tedious to do for anyone less important than a celebrity.

Think of a regular website: when you delete content, it is not impossible to recover it by other means (google cache, etc) but it becomes much more inconvenient, which is often good enough.

Honestly, I'm just curious if there is a socialist millionaire-esque algorithm which can protect a resource if access is revoked while retaining caching. I envision something that spreads encrypted data through a cloud but only provides specific decryption keys when requested.
Not only is Arch rolling release, but it has the AUR, the two in conjunction is in my opinion the best aspect of linux. No repositories really, or messing with anything but a few commands and odd scripts to download and keep updated nearly every program I use. As soon as I hear about new program it's yaourt * and I'm 10 seconds from have it installed.
This isn't about avoiding non-accredited investor laws, it's about the 499 shareholder limit for non-financial disclosure.

Excellent selection of quality articles.
This is one of the last books that I'm still hoping will make it to a digital format somehow. I just can't see ordering a new paper copy again.
You know, I think you're right. If a project is on GitHub, it's just so easy to jump in and get started hacking. It feels qualitatively different from open source in the old days, a few years ago.
There is, but I don't know how to use it. http://www.appbrain.com/app/mobileorg/com.matburt.mobileorg
I dunno, really. Someone mentioned open source projects. For example, there is a huge shortage of talented Drupal developers. So you are a Delphi programmer? PHP is easy to learn and the Drupal community is superb helpful to those who want to contribute. So come, contribute, everyone is welcome, you do that as a dayjob (8+ hrs a day) you will be known in less than a year that's for sure and get a job.
I only have anecdata from being there in the aftermath, and have no idea what the real numbers are.

But the layoffs weren't merit based from what I understand, and they usually never are for legal reasons. You just lop off whole teams of people. And you are right: they cut too far, and have to rehire some of those people back...but I'm not sure if they would hire the right people back. You know, the ones that could get a job somewhere else just pack up and leave pretty quickly, what was left were the good people who didn't want to leave South Florida, and once they did the move to Austin, they lost all of those people anyways.

Absolutely right! One of the guys I was working with at my last contract was an old Java guy that loved Eclipse. We talked about moving from SVN to Git but he resisted because there was no good, proven, stable, active development GUI for Git in Eclipse. Build that plug-in and you can charge for it - guaranteed!
I did expect to see something, but honestly it could have been a smudge n the "lens" and I wouldn't have known any better
In the USA, I can buy 67oz of Coca Cola for $1.

> what Google is supposed to be

And what Google is supposed to be?

They stopped being a dictionary-like search engine some time ago.

These days they seem to show personalized web page recommendations, loosely based on the search terms.
Do you think that anyone should be able to pay network TVs to display any political message (including lies) that they want?

Should accumulated wealth be the equivalent of having the loudest megaphone?

I think there's a line there between free users of social media vs. paid advertisements. Still, I'm not sure social media is public space rather than an establishment, so the idea of how you apply freedom of speech has to be carefully weighed.
One of the reasons I hover in the space of semi-functonal languages like Groovy and Scala. Because as much as I love concisely expressing a piece of complex logic as a composition of reduces, folds, maps etc., being able to easily and naturally break out of that to execute a piece of imperative code in the middle of it is still regularly a life saver to me and often an order of magnitude clearer than the pure functional solution to a reader.
Why? It'd just be a government sponsored 4chan. Do we then blame the government for having a platform that the next shooter is going to use to murder 50 or 100 people? What's the point of such a platform? Why would we waste government money on it just to have it filled with hate speech? Why would we, as the people who control the government want such a platform? If people want to publish in such a way, there is already a platform: the Internet. Start a website. Nothing prevents people from doing that. If they're too lazy, they can go to 4chan, etc. The rest of us shouldn't have to subsidize a cesspool of shit that has no positive uses.
If you think the comments here are silly take a look at what /r/android thinks

I would add a factor to that - America, in a mythic sense, does not have a good relationship with authority. Perhaps for historic reasons, it is not a country where authority is really respected... and so I think, there is a bit more expectation of authority being abused by those who have it than in countries where people in positions of authority are expected to hold themselves to a higher standard.
It's a bit all over the place. ELB -> EC2 -> RDS Postgres. S3 for the storage of the emails and images, CDN'd by BunnyCDN. Hetzner for background job servers. Digital Ocean to run headless Chrome (browserless.io) on Kubernetes. Will consolidate a bit next year.
And now Korea is investigating. I wonder if this will be like the EU vs MS where the regulatory body of a country/region fights for some of their companies.

I'm sure Steve is factually right, and Apple has zero interest in tracking any users.

However, they've been stupid and sloppy, and instead of minimizing the footprint and usefulness of the location to base-station cache, they've tagged it with exact times, boneheadedly allowing this information to easily be picked up and used for unreasonable searches, and exposing users to considerable potential liability, such as being erroneously linked to a crime etc.
Wufoo is 5 years old?

Time sure does fly...if you asked me how old Wufoo was, I'd probably say a year...two tops.
"As is Jobs' usual style, his brief comments provide little detail or information to support his claims, and his vagueness leaves things rather open to interpretation."
I don't know how iOS handles it, but Android treats rotation... oddly. If you haven't specifically handled it, it basically kills your activity, loads the new rotated layout (which can be radically different from the other orientation's view), and then reloads your activity. Any initialization, etc, happens again (which is why, sometimes in some apps, you rotate and form fields are cleared).

You can cache data and make rotates pretty seamless, but it still seems like a decent amount of overhead that wouldn't necessarily be there.
Here I would've assumed that the situation would be reversed. I thought Wufoo was huge (in revenue) and Surveymonkey was an upstart.
Fun list of words, but a few seem out of place. Namely: austerity, hubris, overhaul, ubiquitous, and hegemony, all of which seem fairly common. That being said, there are tons of words on this list that I'm unfamiliar with, and I look forward to digging into it more when I have time.
I wonder if a liquidation event like this is going to make it hard to keep key employees around. The company is hardly at a place where it can afford to lose people and "hold the line".
This is actually about 3 years old. I PM'd this product at salesforce.com, for which Dell was the first external customer. We initially designed it for salesforce.com's own community. The product is now known as Salesforce Ideas. I'm no longer at salesforce.com, so this is not a shill :)

Many good things came out of this community. Dell started selling Linux pre-installed on their laptops for instance, that was an early win. You can see what they are doing at http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/b/direct2dell/archiv...
I think you mean: you can't discharge a student loan through bankruptcy. You're in default the moment you miss a payment.

And if the problem comes at the scale this theory is suggesting, then like mortgage defaults, people may just ignore the collection notices until they get special accommodations.
Registry aggregation service. I see friends register for the same thing at multiple store (maybe that's their fault, but whatever) so I think there is space for a service that either aggregates registries from different stores or serves as a central registry and recommends stores for people to buy the items at.
Do you guys think it's a good idea to buy TSLA on day one?
Yes, that's an interesting question, although I wonder what you precisely mean by "scale out".

E.g. one thing that comes to mind is management, although it's pretty clear that VPS hosting providers have means of dealing with many many Xen instances.

With 2 GB max per core, space will be at a premium, the smallest practical Dom0 will be desired (I use Xen as an example because it the one I'm familiar with). VM load balancing will likely be required for good service, and the interconnect fabric ought to make that pretty cheap.

Compared to AWS, this particular SeaMicro solution will only provide something like a Small Instance which has 1.7 GB, the next step up is 7.5 GB.

This could prove interesting, I'm sure there are plenty of VPS niches it will service well, if the no ECC issue is not a customer service showstopper as others have wondered on the main HN SeaMicro thread.
In other words: Do you really think that you can write this piece of javascript better than John Resig? (substitute authors as necessary)

In some cases, yes, but I'd argue that in most cases probably not.
I think it doesn't have a blade because it wants to be TSA-compliant. Even the possibility of having a blade-link in there would probably get it confiscated or at least slow you way down at the checkpoint.

You have zero imagination.
> It's not ethical for a distributor to strong-arm the hands that feed it on a 5 year basis, no matter how small a slice of the pie it may be.

In the business world, this is known as negotiation. It's normal and ethical. Here, it's like being in a big store. You can buy the thing on the shelf or not, but you don't get to haggle over the price.

Zoe wants to haggle over the price until it's something convenient for her.

> I'd suggest simply hiring a third party to monitor Google and send appropriate take-down notices.

This is abuse. This will have a chilling effect on free expression.
No, it isn't reasonable. Every time they display an uploaded video that contains content which is protected by copyright, they are attempting to make money from someone else's work product.

They've built their entire business on this practice, while leaving the burden of DMCA notices to the artist.

The contentID system was an olive branch, a win-win. Now they are using it as a cudgel to force artists to participate in their platform on their terms.

That's insanely messed up.

If expensive component extended React.PureComponent instead of being just a function call it would still work.

New appearance of hooks and effects made people not use PureComponent class and replaced everything with functions that return JSX declared stuff. There’s no diffing happening this way.
What you are basically saying is that yes, they are much more complex.
When you are poor, your discretionary investments are a small fraction of your future income. So you can afford to blow out your brokerage account a few times. In a way, college, marriage, and kids are leveraged bets on your future income so they are more risky than gambling past income.

When you are wealthy you have to be more disciplined and pace yourself. The only thing you thing that you can’t slow down the pace of is time.
Using a modern shell like fish and cli tools like fzf, sed, sort etc together to create abbreviations (not aliases in fish) give you 100x more features than this.

I type ck and get a fzf list of local and remote branches I can fuzzy search and select to checkout.
Why is the current hashrate relevant? The market will readjust to changes in hashrate.
If you have a contract that includes severance and if you have investments then the ERN plan makes sense. If either of those things is false it’s a much shakier argument.
Exactly. I think the prior HN discussions failed to call out how painful it is to do any sort of schema migration against a big InnoDB table [1][2].

Well known MySQL uses such as Facebook TAO and this Uber Schemaless are typically abstractions built on top of MySQL, which means the schemas are pretty much static, and they don't feel the schema migration pain.

For a typical RoR startup that relies on a RDBMS, please, stay away from MySQL.

[1] Yes, I know about the INSTANT ADD COLUMN patch from Tencent Games that landed in MySQL 8.0, and which has had major bug fixes in at least 8.0.14 and 8.0.20.

[2] A side effect is that MySQL now has a thriving ecosystem of schema migration tools (pt-osc, lhm, gh-ost), while Postgres has none, and there are situations where there is indeed no choice but to rewrite the table, e.g. changing a column type from int to bigint.
Just ran the camino de santiago this september and went through Galacia. I can't believe these are so cheep, would love to have property here -- absolutely beautiful country and people!
You say:

> I never said that technical expertise makes my experience more (or less) important.

But then immediately dive into a long winded explanation of why your own personal opinions are superior. If you have some deeply academic reason for not likening something, but millions of user just absolutely love how shiny it is, then you can’t prove they’re wrong for doing so, nor that your opinion is in any way better or more valuable than theirs.
Yes I have a hard time understanding that perspective as well. If someone opens a business in my city and doesn't speak enough English (or Spanish) to complete a business transaction, I just wouldn't do business with them, and it'd be their loss not mine. The only way it would irritate me is if an essential business like the grocery store was completely staffed with people who don't speak a language I understand. In that case I don't have much an option to not to business with them.

I think a lot of people in countries like the US get worked up when people speak a language they don't understand because they feel excluded. And somehow it's vaguely threatening to have people talking and you are specifically cut out of the conversation.
I just received 3 emails regarding a trial deposit and action required on my application yet I haven't applied for anything. The emails are questionable from the start as there is no information other than a note claiming it was sent by Amazon CreditBuilder and Synchrony Bank and that it is an unmonitored email so do not reply.
Business Analyst position writing node and react?????
So do you not believe that or is it not fair?
