Marco Arment made a blog post this week (http://www.marco.org/2011/04/14/why-is-it-so-hard-to-be-a-go...) that generated some chatter here related to domain registrars (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2448061). The consensus seems to be that NearlyFreeSpeech.net is the one to go with.
As I understand it, this drug is used daily by people with conditions such as lupus so there’s some knowledge about long term effects at a given dosage.
>> Should we let clearly creditworthy companies go bankrupt because the credit markets are temporarily closed?

There two major assumptions there.

"Clearly creditworthy companies"

and

"Credit markets are temporarily closed"

The bonds are devalued. People are issuing credit to those who qualify. (I've secured two LOCs myself for both my business and personal needs.)

It's just that the bar is higher than normal. What is the function of a market if you don't allow it to clear?
Hydroxychloroquine is not a new drug. It is known to be associated with some serious side effects, but stroke isn't one of them.

If evaporation matters, then transmission rates should depend strongly upon humidity. However, there are studies saying transmission rates decrease with relative humidity. Maybe drying is irrelevant, or maybe there is another factor, or maybe the studies are wrong.
Kinsa is doing a lot of this already. Check https://healthweather.us/ for their published maps.
This is a wonderful resource. Thank you for pointing it out.
True, though I believe the T-64 preceded even the S-tank, and I believe the T-64 was the first production tank to have an autoloader. As an aside for those you aren't familiar with the Strv 103 (also called the S tank) it's a particularly interesting tank: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stridsvagn_103 . It is the only main battle tank to have no turret!
They still are in SaaS - with 'Workplace by Facebook'

The article is referring to IaaS from my initial read.

Those are not the problems those are (some of) the symptoms.
Thank you! (Actually the raptor conservancy [0] is interesting from this perspective as well. I'm a newbie / junior in that context, but I can see standard employee patterns that I recognise from the tech industry, e.g. in terms of people who know to report and / or delegate well, or to make effective decisions vs. be indecisive. Perhaps I'll have to see if I can document my observations on what I've learned in my career).

Wyoming and Montana seem to be the real weak links in the chain.
A cycle trail along 'two-lane highways' sounds frightening.
Unpopular opinion on HN, but asking for a peer-reviewed source during a casual forum discussion is kind of a lazy way to dismiss something. When you're chatting with your buddies over cocktails and they say something you disagree with, do you suddenly demand a peer-reviewed source and offer to drive them to the library so they can find the academic papers that back up their views?
> If any holes were left around for the NSA’s overly-long tentacles to creep into, you can bet your bottom dollar that they’d have been found, exposed and rooted out long before now.

iMessage's end to end cryptography has been backdoored via iCloud Backup, on by default since 2011. It uploads complete message history to Apple (even SMS, which they would not normally see) with Apple keys. Even if you have it turned off, your conversation partners won't.

Have your Apple friends install Signal, too.
For projects like these, I don’t know why Apple doesn’t just step in and help. What have they got to lose?
Most extensions could likely be built and tested just fine on a ~$250-$350 used Mac mini. That's probably still more money than should need to be spent, but a brand new machine probably isn't necessary in this particular case.

Artificial lights certainly mess with our clocks, but not to the same extent as the sun, because they have different wavelengths.

Money-wise those salary-bands are only achievable at faang-tier with promotions (others can confirm). Getting into faang is Leetcode, getting promoted there is a game that only those that have done it can explain.

If you want to play that game at that level then you should goto Blind app and read up on what those career ladder psychos are obsessed with. You’ll get more sociopathic, but realistic answers about what’s involved.
In my 20s several times a week, in my 30s every week or two, nowadays every so often. My 20s were a chaotic mess with a lot of partying, and I'm fairly sure ketamine's effects on depression and anxiety and my ADHD were a part of why I enjoyed it so much. I still do, but post-diagnosis at 31 I've been getting my life back on track and while it's amazing how your brain can adapt to even something as potent as ketamine and manage to function in daily life, doing so was in no way living my best life lol.

It's an incredible experience and a medical tool with a lot of potential, see its recent use for chronic depression and alcohol addiction. Recreational and therapeutic dosages are very different though!
I am a highly paid consultant in cryptocurrency infrastructure systems, and I use my rates (both hourly and flat) to work less, not more. So sometimes I can earn a lot of money for a few hours of work, but it is not boring. It is stimulating and requires a lot of thinking, as I specialize in a particularly rare niche. Though it generates a lot of stress when there are no clients for long periods of time.

For the rest of it, I work in the academia, where the money is nearly nonexistent, but it helps me for my freedom of self-actualization (and since it is computational epidemiology, there is suddenly a lot of real world relevance). Still, event when there are no clients for months, the money from the academia is enough to survive (barely).
Your comment is posted here as a reply to another comment, but it seems like the content is unrelated. The quoted sentence says nothing about pronouns in particular. Instead, it says that if someone says anything at all that any trans person finds offensive then the person saying it becomes tainted without any recourse. (I checked the post it was from and it hasn't been taken out of context - it really is as general of a statement as it appears to be on its own.)

Ironically, that means that if a trans person finds your comment, or the blog author's post, offensive in some way then now you or they are transphobic and there's nothing you can say or do to dispute that. Clearly, that is unacceptable.
Ah, nice. Just in time for summer. Less AC noise on stream is good for everybody.
iPhone and iPod are very interesting and unique case studies in that they combine high-end differentiation (the devices, or at least the brilliant marketing-fueled perception of the devices) with low-end disruption, and with network-effect ecosystems (music, apps).

The low-end disruption is cheaper music (iPod) and cheaper computer (iPhone). Computer in that many consumers initially saw iPhone as a way to do email, web and apps without paying for separate computer and Internet.
Is it 10% slower even if you keep array alive and apply --nouse-osr (to both node.js and io.js)?

On my machine results are fluctuating within the same ballpark (though I am on Linux and benchmarking 64-bit builds).
Yes, but interactive systems are quite complicated to describe mathematically. There is very little known still. A while ago there was an article on HN in which a connection was made between renormalization group theory and deep learning: https://www.quantamagazine.org/20141204-a-common-logic-to-se.... The thing is, a lot of systems, are called "critical", or with Kauffman's words "edge of chaos", or "poised at criticality".

Another example, even more recent there was a discovery about correlated novelties and both Heap's and Zipf's law: http://www.nature.com/srep/2014/140731/srep05890/full/srep05.... Different from the normal distribution which indeed just comes from the law of large numbers (central limit theorem), these come from much more interesting processes.

You can have all kind of distributions and all kind of power-law like behaviour around complex systems. It is henceforth extremely important to weed out all the nonsense. To be able to deduct what kind of microscopic relations bring about Tracy-Widom distributions especially in the context of other mathematical objects than random matrix brings lots of disciplines forwards. From physics to machine learning.

Please don't forget to measure latency - both averages and percentiles :)
I'm speaking from personal anecdotes only. The only downside to me is that it suppresses REM sleep, leading to dreamless sleep. This is kind of boring. It's also more difficult to learn something for the first time while high. Don't go to a poker game high and try to learn the game, for example. Psychosis? Not a factor for me, so I'm not attempting to say one thing about it. Extrinsically, there's all of the legal/job related annoyances in additional to dealing with losers who won't do anything without it.
Very few countries tax wealth, most tax income. The distribution isn't quite so skewed. But even then the richest 1% in the US already pay over 50% of all income taxes collected.

My point is, when people talk about taxing the rich, they are talking about most of the folks on HN (at least in SF). The top 1% households make ~$450k per year. That a couple who each take home $225k.

I remember an election in Canada a while back where the NDP (far left) said "We would increase the taxes on thr rich". Someone asked "who are the rich?" And they said "A family of four making more than $80K." I had to give them credit for being honest.
It doesn't cause schizophrenia, it causes willingness to be vocal about schizophrenia.

It's actually a useful tool for that, assuming the person isn't an insanely negative environment where they lock them up after they become vocal.
It doesn't: lzham is intended for offline compression whereas lz4 is intended for realtime compression.
Windows does have virtual desktops...just not the way X allows. The main thing that bugs me about Windows's desktops is that it is given a logical display surface compromised of all the display units. Whereas with X (going by my use of xmonad) it's easy to separate the display and desktop abstractions and have desktop 2 on display 1 and desktop 5 on display 2.

There's a nice overview of the limitations and intentions of the Windows model here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms68...

You could always try pressing escape (as I did) (see above).
I think parent meant to say _even_ powers like x^(2n) exp(-x^2), which can be done by differentiating exp(-Bx^2) and evaluating at B = 1.
I think you misunderstand. I wanted to partner with a Christian so they would be passionate about the idea. Using pro-Christian services was never a necessity and I tried to say in my post that I want to move away from using other's services anyway. Awardspace has had good and free service in my experience using them. I don't see how the Christian population of the country in which the servers I have previously used are located matters.
If you just have something scooping up all unencrypted data (which is something any bored teenager might set up) then you get a password but the OTP codes will be useless shortly afterwards and, if the implementation is competent immediately useless in another session once used.

[ Do I trust that they got that right? Maybe. Others might have a better idea how many off-the-shelf OTP implementations handle this correctly ]

However an active MitM just works. You give the user the illusion they're talking directly to the real system, but you actually keep working copies of their logged in state. When they're done trading, you just carry on. If there's an explicit "Log out" step you can dummy that out.

Forget passwords and OTP, even something modern like Security Keys (WebAuthn) would fall to this - except WebAuthn's APIs magically don't exist unless you have secure context (basically an HTTPS site) so for the web that can't happen. If you used the built-in Android / iOS FIDO implementation† and stupidly did HTTP backend in your app, you'd be screwed.

† In this scenario, you're getting the same features as WebAuthn but backed by your device biometrics, and with a custom per-app identifier instead of a DNS name to stop you stealing the user's Google authentication or whatever.
Kevin Conrad has a more in-depth paper on this at roughly the same maturity level, also motivated by Feynman's story: https://kconrad.math.uconn.edu/blurbs/analysis/diffunderint....
> Money supply does not determine the prices as we have learned over last two decades.

I don't think we can just accept this as fact, based on two decades evidence. The Phillips curve held for much longer for two decades, until it didn't. 2 decades of verified observation cannot be extrapolated into an infinite future.
My father watched a video on youtube from such a doctor, and now not only thinks COVID is a hoax, but that so is HIV.

Fuck these lone doctors and fuck Youtube for spreading their unfounded theories through the general population, putting millions of lives at risk.
The list of countries by coffee consumption shows some of the healthiest countries in the world.

Obviously you could be suspicious of all the studies that show coffee associated with decreased mortality because of Big Coffee's influence, but you'd need remotely plausible way to show any harm at all here. Sugar and tobacco are very different in that regard. People knew in the 1700s that there was an association between tobacco and mouth cancer, and shortness of breath had been observed forever. Once cigarettes made tobacco widely accessible it became even more apparent, though not proven. (Sugar is less obvious but there are lots of anecdotes in history about overconsumption, like Napoleon's wife who had nearly no teeth because of sucking on sugar cane as a child.)

That seems pretty irrelevant to the specific quote I was addressing, but in general it’s unfortunate there’s no tech-illiterate focused distro AFAIK, because it seems like CUA-mode would get you far enough to appeal to a lot of pretty mild power users (eg. there are stories of non-technical secretaries learning to program without realizing it by learning Emacs macros).

A PDF of slides, inside a git repo, and concluding with a picture from - and a non clickable link to - a tweet from another person, seems like an awfully peculiar way to share content.

If you think parsing that sentence is insane: exactly.
CSE is solidly civilian.
Is it? At $work we deploy thousands of pis each year across multiple use cases. They are truly great devices to get compute in hard to reach places as well as to throw Chrome on a display. The harder part of this is the orchestration and management of every device and making it simple to deploy.

Since January 1 we have deployed around 600 new devices.
I use ohmyzsh with the bgnotify plugin that does the same.

I combine it with the timer plugin to print how long the command takes to complete.

I'd argue that most developers should become familiar with ohmyzsh, it has a bunch of useful plugins. My favorites being fzf, git, timer and bgnotify, and I love that tiny green arrow that tells you if the last command was successful.
And just like everything in life, people are greedy, and now it's turned into a hyper deflationary investment vehicle.
You are deeply mistaken in your first statement; though I appreciate you at least acknowledge race, that’s entirely what created zoning. I highly recommend any of the books on the subject. “The Color of Law” is the best IMO.

Factories have always been built across from housing, and we’ve never stopped that with zoning. We only stopped it from happening to white people.
Last weekend I decided to remove all third party services/javascript from my website, replacing them with external links (for the share button or the contact form), nothing (for google analytics[1]) or with web mentions (for disqus).

Not sure how viable it is since it was actually more work than I thought it'd be, but at least I feel better now about my site not loading external stuff and setting unnecessary cookies. Now I guess I should actually write more stuff to see if I get mentions (and to test how vulnerable to spam it is, I suppose). I haven't ruled out looking into other ways to implement federated comment systems—or similar, like web mentions—though[2].

[1]: That said, I'm using cloudflare so I guess I do get its analytics.

[2]: And there's always the self-hosted option.
If you click+drag or double-click to select the substring of the URL you plan to edit anyways, then the click won't select all the URL.

Yes I had issues too and looking at the new comments page [1], it seems there was an outage of sorts from around 16:00 to 16:40 UTC. Would be interesting to hear what happened, if any mod/admin wants to share.

EDIT: Seems like all the comments that were submitted during that timeframe are showing up now.

This is an excellent article, I think it explains the monad pretty simply, starting from an understanding of functors.

For those that are struggling with understanding (or feeling like you understand) monads, here are some articles like this one that I found very useful (note that the links are for haskell, but obviously, monads are a generally applicable concept).

A visual explanation of monads:

FinFolio - Denver, CO

FinFolio makes software for professional wealth managers. We make a desktop product and have a small client base of large financial advisers. We are a software company, founded and run by a software developer who has created, grown and sold other startups in our space.

We are hiring a mostly-front-end developer to join our small team with a new project. Our ideal candidate has experience with with Angular, Bootstrap, JavaScript/HTML, PhoneGap/Cordova and ASP.Net. It would be nice if you were also familiar with C# and SQL since we use it in the middle/back layers. Be passionate.

We are centrally located in the Denver Tech Center, a short walk from the light rail with free parking, health care, 30" monitors, ​good chairs, free soda/snacks, foosball, video games, casual dress and other amenities. We work hard but have fun; margarita Fridays and an occasional early afternoon movie premiere.

Relocation is available for the right candidate; remote work probably isn't a good idea yet. If you are interested, contact me at mattabar (at) finfolio.com.
I really think you are missing the point here. And why are you so exasperated? Take a break man.
>Though I don’t consider it legally practicable, as a moral matter I’d be fine if every such man were thrown in prison for life.

I was with the author right up until this. Mr. Aaronson here declares that, were it legally practicable, he believes that THOUGHT POLICE would be a very good thing. He proposes life imprisonment for "wrong" belief, not wrong action.

At that point, I ceased to care much at all about what Scott Aaronson believes.
Real companies won't want a bunch of gnats on their cap tables, but scams won't care.

Honestly the fact that this still makes it hard for legitimate companies to raise from the public means that the likelihood of the public being exposed to scams is actually higher. It's an either-or thing. Either just open things up, or don't, but going half way is actually more dangerous.
I generally disagree with hardcoded salts, you should assume everything is compromised in a successful attack. But I'm actually commenting here because I don't see how you can retroactively apply the second salt to a hashed string. Could you please elaborate or share a link?

Later edit: I'm referring to your example in your link:

salt = urandom(16)
pepper = "oFMLjbFr2Bb3XR)aKKst@kBF}tHD9q" # or,
getenv('PEPPER')
hashed_password = scrypt(password, salt + pepper)
store(hashed_password, salt)

How do you retroactively apply this?

The argument about whether it's legal to yell fire in. a theater isn't even relevant because it's the theater who's kicking you out and banning you, not the government. Of course they have the right to do that, regardless of your interpretation of the first amendment.
This is to be expected. RAID 5 is not safe. It is common for a RAID 5 array to be running in a degraded state during “normal” operation without the operator’s knowledge. Then, when one drive fails, rebuilding the array is impossible; you have already lost data.

This is common because there is often no good way to repair a RAID 5 system which is running in degraded state, and there is often no monitoring to respond to array degradation (if you can’t fix it, why monitor it?)

In other words, RAID 5 does not protect very well against drive failures. RAID 6 is more durable but inefficient (there are systems which are both more durable and more efficient than RAID 6). RAID is generally optimized for implementation simplicity over other concerns.
What made our migration from CVS to Git a breeze was using Gitorious. It helped that our team was very supportive of Git, but Gitorious alleviated the shock of going from centralized to distributed. Our server guy had a hell of a hard time making Gitorious work, though.
But as you may see from the numbers I have almost tripled my monthly day job earnings!

Purely out of interest, is that before or after tax? I only ask as I'm also based in Poland, and 3,000 PLN (i.e. your original monthly earnings) before tax sounds painful!
It looks like you're slowly, but steadily gaining momentum! I remember seeing your second report when you were making more like 1500. Well done!

One thing that continues to amaze me is the performance you get from istockphoto. I always figured that with the number of people out there with digital cameras getting into photography that the prices would fall rapidly for this sort of thing. But it's remained a reliable earner for you.
