This... doesn't work well. There are too many possible solutions given the clues, making it just luck.

Consider:

2 + _ + 8 = 1 _

Now _ could be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0
Thats what happens when you put a finance guy in charge of an engineering company. Lets see what the engineering guy can do now that he is at the top.
Name calling is a way to short-circuit any discussion and slander your opponent.
I totally agree. I guess everything you could call "greatest marketing concept" is a net negative to humanity by the very definition.
And now they were just DMCA'ed, rightfully so in my opinion.

If you believe in open source, then you need to be respectful of copyright law. It is the foundation for open source licensing.
It'd be cool to have a way to bind the links up so they stayed stationary, and then you'd rotate your workpiece around it. Instead of spinning the screwdriver, which would be awkward with the floppy bracelet, you'd prop it up and turn your item around the bracelet.
Indeed. Here's them acknowledging that:

I can agree to this. We hired someone, and we didn't know the university, looked it up and seemed fine. I got a lot of job offers myself a couple of years ago from simply applying to jobs in the same city as I went to uni in. Everyone there knew the uni and knew that it was plenty good enough.
>Do you understand why some of us are viewing this problem through an anti-trust or public utility lens now?

I'm also viewing it through a public utility lens. But Amazon's computers and Twilio's computers are not public utilities. The network (internet) is a public utility. I would say DNS and ICANN is a public utility also. Electrical power lines are a public utility. Roads are a public utility. But those are the components that are not feasible to duplicate, servers and data centers are.
Exactly, paying with data for most people is cheaper than paying with money. I'd say that's a great compromise.
We used to have to take several seconds to walk over and back to a light bulb to turn it on. Now it's just as fast but we don't have to even stand up.
On the contrary, I generally browse with JS disabled and there's a strong correlation between sites for which this is existentially problematic and sites whose content or utility are garbage.

I have a personal toolkit of components I call "you might not need Javascript". Dropdowns, slideovers, toggles, modals, tabs, accordions, autocomplete, lightboxes, all with nice transition animations, and all in pure server-rendered HTML+CSS. A lot of it is just semantic elements being used appropriately. How many developers use <datalist> or <summary>/<details>? or :target and :focus-within? In my experience, not enough. How about, using <details> in combination with a CSS [open] selector? The palette gets rich in combination.

Overall, no, it's not hard, but it does require one to study. A couple of times a year, I'll re-read through the HTML LS and CSS specifications. There's a lot in there to build from, and almost all of it has broad evergreen browser support. For the leading-edge stuff, "caniuse.com" remains an essential reference. I currently have my eye on the <dialog> element, high expectations there, works well already in Chrome; Firefox just has a couple of bugs to shake out, and it's experimental (but incomplete) in Safari.

All that said: a light dusting of JS can still provide progressive enhancement, but we can limit this to minor cosmetic improvements & optimizations, for browser compatibility, and where dynamic ARIA markup is necessary.

The motivation as to why I prefer this style is another matter, and it's do with product strategy, and in particular, not crystallizing your architecture in the front end (where it is brittle) but in the backend (where it is much faster to pivot and/or rapidly prototype/spike/redevelop, by proximity to business logic and persistence schema). These are understandings that've been long (and sometimes painful) in the learning, but they're pretty much universal.
If there's an uprising about Bitcoin's energy usage in the USA (just for example), neither the US gov nor people will be able to force miners in, say, China to use less energy.

But that might provide a good excuse for the government to regulate Bitcoin in whatever way they choose.
Wherein, to save $100M, we pay much more to a private company[1], and in the process sidestep the question of a federal ID database by instead selling it out to a private vendor.

I can't wait to hear when they get hacked, and they have to give out free ID monitoring for a year to make up for it.

> where the server just publishes a giant JSON object of state and the clients are pure functions of it (and send messages to the server to mutate it)

So, XSLT for JSON basically. I like it.
Hmm, not that it's "something you don't need", per se, but

> 4TB or more of Gen4 NVMe storage

Suggests to me that this will be targeted at the "money is no object" market. (And it might still be something you don't need, I keep all my media on a server, so 1TB would be more than sufficient, thank you very much.)
How do you avoid dealing with politics? A lot of people I've heard say "they don't do politics" are affected by it just as much as anyone else. They're just bad at it.
As the article states, the Supreme Court has already ruled that putting a GPS tracker on a vehicle requires a warrant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Jones_(2012)
>Outside of the UK, the EU at least pretends to be outraged.

And in a glaring act of hypocrisy, David Cameron came out yesterday to extoll how upset he was over the ruling that the lobbying letters Prince Charles sent government members had to be published. What a breach of privacy it was. Can nobody communicate privately anymore?!
They didn't go as far as Antifa does but the TEA Party certainly was guilty of many of the same things. Lots of threats to bring "Second amendment solutions" to political disagreements. They certainly engaged in dehumanizing their opponents. Seems like whoever is out of power does this and each cycle it gets ratcheted up another notch. It's worrying what the reaction in some quarters might be if someone like Bernie Sanders, who openly calls himself a Democratic Socialist, wins the presidency.
Good analysis, but fails to take into account the storage costs of whatever CO2 is sequestered (or the potential to offset those costs by selling the CO2 to whatever industry uses them).
Now there I can't agree. If I were a first time potential Apple buyer, outside the Apple bubble, I would absolutely want to know if Apple's own charger has a cheap cable that frays, or a video dongle can't handle certain common modes, or something is simply crap. Comparison with a third party doesn't enter into it. It might even help get a feel for how common an issue some site's major news piece actually is.

Likewise a 2017 Macbook Pro attracting lots of negative reviews because Apple forgot how to make a keyboard resilient enough to outlast a warranty are equally legitimate.

Pulling them to present an "all is lovely in Apple World" view is incredibly buyer hostile. Even if many remain that are irrelevant complaints and misunderstandings - where there should be some effort to clean up, there is legitimate need for ungamed, unsanitised reviews and ratings.
In the long run, that would be a losing proposition for WMT. Kind of like where Yahoo ended up at.
If someone killed a family member of mine id believe in the revenge system pretty fast.
i've spent a night in the pokey once or twice, yeah, mostly people just want to be left alone (prison is different thing than jail though). It's a weird feeling when the door shuts and you know you can't get out. Most people are pretty quiet and just thinking about how bad they screwed up heh.
That's by no means certain, and getting that settlement will likely cost you a year or two of salary in legal fees (while you're unemployed) before you get it. Amazon's legal team can remain solvent longer than you can. Maybe your lawyer will take the case on contingency, maybe not.

Meanwhile, you have a reputation for bringing litigation against your employer; good luck finding a new job under those circumstances. Not impossible, sure, but many employers will no longer talk to you, and that decreases your negotiating power with companies that will talk to you. I hope the uncertain legal settlement is enough to make up the difference.

This is just another fine example of how employers hold even more power in the relationship than people seem to understand. If you need to sue your (now-former) employer, you've probably already lost the war, even if you do end up winning that suit.
> There's a 100% chance of some sort of conflict between the US and China

i agree to a certainty, but only if the respective governments stay the same. things become less dangerous if capitalism destabilizes communist china or communism destabilizes captilast america.
The most recent, full guide is available on Amazon for $2.99 on Kindle, and a reasonable $17 or so for the paperback.

I'm not sure that this version is legal to host, though it is an older version.
When modern Americans and Europeans rail against "diversity" as being the cause of their woes, it's almost certainly based on what boils down to some flavor of the "white genocide" conspiracy theory.
Is it just me or does Clubhouse totally abuse notifications? I turned it on and it spammed me non-stop for rooms that were nowhere near my interests. I had to deactivate, which made the app pretty pointless because I'm not aware of interesting rooms until afterwards. I wish you could tell apps "give me no more than 5 notifications a day, but those better be damn good notifications".

Also the front page of Clubhouse is just utter nonsense. So much influencer/entrepreneur-bro/bullshit. What I like about something like reddit is that while the default front page is quite trashy, you can curate it with subreddits to get a better experience. Clubhouse, probably due to lack of content, just gives you a mound of trash and expects you to pick out the good bits.
It depends. The US isn't the most or least expensive.

The US incarceration rate, though, is just nuts.
What? Are you talking about proportional fonts?
If you pay. Otherwise, a one-minute cron is still an effective solution.
Good Math, Bad Math has a series of posts about attempts to disprove the uncountability of reals:

Especially frustrating is the credibility Knol can provide to crackpots like this.
I agree with the concept of your breakdown for own vs. license. However in order for it to be legalized you would need to set the conditions for when a software "smells like you don't own" it. This is inherently large to do and leads to 10s of pages of legalese attempting to describe a simple idea.
So basically you have nothing to back your statements up. It appears that when the exchanges break the trade, its completely unwound, as if it never happened. Shares go back to the seller, money goes back to the buyer. No one ends up short.
There isn't going to be a guerilla war, the people are going to love you just for giving them access to food and clean water.
Your tell was the scare-quotes you put around "censors" and "banning".

You had already decided. There was nothing anyone could have written to which you would have responded "Hmm. I did not know that. That appears to be censorship and banning. Thanks for letting me know about this."

> "why should YouTube be forced to pay and promote..."

I did not say they must pay and promote anyone. I listed examples of censorship and banning which was your original ask. Now you're saying they don't count because of freedom of association, inaccuracies, and politics. Of course there was going to be a goalpost-moving and semantics-arguing. Your tell lead me to expect it.

As for me, I am disturbed by the extraordinary power of our contemporary platforms to unperson or memory-hole perspectives and views that are unpopular, whether or not the label "censors" or "banning" precisely fits, even if I agree that the perspective is reprehensible, and even if I agree that YouTube et. al. has a "right" to ban and censor.
My question was kinda selfish. I want to move now. If there are a billion places, please tell me so I can move there now before the masses arrive and even that gets ruined :)
Lol, “he was accused by many” is just smearing. Good that it was removed.
Check auto parts stores, specifically ones that also sell refinishing supplies and paint. A very similar product is also available from hobby shops, and is sold as 'servo tape'. This is very commonly used to adhere trim and accessories to vehicles; in a former life I was a mechanic at a 4WD shop that also sold truck accessories. We used this to attach those plastic bug deflectors you see on truck hoods, and never had any issues. The main thing is, the surfaces need to be EXTREMELY clean. Wipe down with IPA, let dry, then wipe down again with a fresh cloth and more IPA.

I'm also calling BS on alcohol removing this stuff, I have tried that unsuccessfully. I did have luck with goo-gone and a scotchbrite pad, but that was very difficult and time consuming. This is a permanent adhesive.
Need to also expand beyond the coast which will be prone to flooding in the future.
If you don't ask the migrants why they are migrating, you can make any bs reason.

Maybe they are migrating to get away from the doomsday cult which has a negative outlook on everything.
AWS is extremely understanding about those sorts of overruns, if you don't make a habit of it.
I find these sorts of things interesting but really the challenge here is pricing the risk. So these folks get even more invasive into your financial history in order to predict if you're going to be able to repay, which is great, you can pick up business at the margins that way, but they don't have a good way of pricing out the tail (say these folks have a car accident and can't get to work for a few weeks and get fired, etc).

I have added these folks to the experiments in finance that I'm following/interested in and I hope they are successful. If they are are I think it will open up more credit to young people which is a good thing, but if they aren't I expect it will have the opposite effect (which is that banks will be even less willing than they are now to lend).
Definitely true, but you need to determine if the blog post is adding value to the discussion, or just sensationalizing it. The world is full of people who can borrow a few lines and blow them out of proportion, but we should (and do) expect HNers' to do better than that.

A lot of blog posts wind up being just extremely wordy retweets.

I'd also submit that a blog post is the way to go if the source material is either too technical or too difficult to follow, and a blog post simply makes more sense to the HN readership. Or, even if the article is just way too long. Linking straight to a Nature article may be too much for the casual reader.
Found deep optimization bugs unlikely to be uncovered by other means

Very cool.

The slides don't make it clear whether the various bugs discovered ended up being covered by unit tests in the regular LLVM suite.

Does anybody remember in the mid 90s there was a 'crashme' program that could be used to fuzz test the Linux kernel? I recall looking for it again about 5 years ago and couldn't find references to it. Did that technique fall out of use?
"There is currently no website that let’s X network and connect" -> http://facebook.com

If you want someone to commit, you should let them know a) what is in it for them (equity? paycheck?), and b) what the level of your commitment is (investment? Quit your job?)

Good luck.
This Person of the Year thing is like Obama's Nobel Prize on a lesser scale. An organization with a fairly high level of public respect bestows an award/recognition that is unmerited and reeks of political bias. This causes many to question the organization's integrity, which upon further investigation never existed in the first place.
I believe he's a harbinger of things to come. Not necessarily in the sense of new leaks coming from WikiLeaks, which has been fairly tame so far.

I think, though, that Julian's basically validated the idea that a.) it's possible to collect, vet, and release potentially damaging information about powerful entities and b.) people care when you do. We've had time periods like this in the past (eg. the Muckraker era at the turn of the 1900s, the Pentagon Papers from the early 70s, Watergate), but the last such era seems to have been over 30 years ago. In the last 10+ years, we seem to have accepted the idea that it's okay for government and corporations to spy on us, but not okay for us to spy on them.

Julian was just the guy who had the balls to say "Umm, two can play at this game" and follow through on it. He's validated the market. It's like Napster and Friendster: the services themselves failed, but they paved the way for iTunes and FaceBook, which have become huge.

Can you imagine what'll happen when some enterprising anarchist hacker hooks up spyware, a botnet, and a spam network? It's not terribly difficult to write malware that scans each infected computer for any documents and posts them as spam comments to blogs or sends them out as spam emails. The thing is - once the information is out there, it naturally gets collaboratively-filtered. The interesting tidbits will be forwarded on or posted to Reddit, while the boring stuff will be deleted as garden-variety spam.

I suspect that there's already malware out there that does exactly this, but instead of posting confidential info to random blogs, it just uplinks it to the Chinese government or some Russian mafia syndicate.

The impact of WikiLeaks is that it's turned a spotlight on the damage that can be done - and more important, the attention that can be gained - by leaking information. That makes it far more likely that some bright, naughty teenager is going to think "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if everything was out there?" and dump everything out there.
Looks like they've got the war-chest ready to defend against future lawsuits when they get into markets that actually take IP laws seriously.

Their hardware's actually decent, but they shamelessly ripoff Apple. They could have gone the route of providing the same hardware with stock android and getting treated like a credible company. Instead, they ripped off iOS wholesale.
No, SP2 was the big security patch for XP. Most notably, the firewall was on by default. This blocked a whole class of remote-control attacks, because you weren't exposing every single service just by connecting a network cable.

SP3 came four years later, in 2008.
I live in Urumqi. Not only Gmail is blocked , but all the google services are blocked here. And it has been quite a long time.

> I thought I was asking a technical question, but it's never purely technical, is it?

Well, this one is technical in many ways and there really is an interesting angle there when you remove all the other stuff. That's still going to be a very harsh thing to see black-and-white in public rather than with context in private.

The tech part essentially boils down to 'the right tool for the right job' and don't try to fit square pegs in round holes when you're on a deadline.

The list of 'lessons learned' is rather longer than that ;)
What is the problem with stock options?
There is definitely value in keeping up with news, especially since technology moves so fast.

However, that said, 95% of what you'll read in a given day is trash. Cut out as much as you possibly can. Tim Ferris took this to the extreme, and you can read about it in the Four Hour Work Week. He said that he never reads any news, ever. When there's a presidential election, he emails his friends and asks them who they're going to vote for and why, and then makes a decision based on that.

IMHO, cut out all global political news. All of it is outside of your control and doesn't affect your life. Glance at a newspaper on the sidewalk occasionally and you'll get the gist of what's going on in the world. Be more judicious with other news sources also. You'll still know what's going on in technology if you only read HN every other day instead of every day.

If you have lots of free time, there isn't necessarily anything wrong with reading a lot. It's only a problem if you have other goals that aren't being achieved because you're spending too much time reading. You can either be reading the news, or making the news.

I don't know if it is. It's pretty shocking to me how different these subjects can be. And the grass is always green on the other side.

>Allegedly unrealistic assumptions about rationality and information are gleefully (and sometimes unfairly) ridiculed.

These are more than allegedly ridiculous, they are ridiculous. But, I'm sure constant harping on this point would be very annoying.

Beinhocker's book is interesting because it lays out several different types of evolution that a taking place that contribute to economic growth. He also lays out some interesting mathematical models that people are using.

I'm am genuinely curious as to how much math you've been exposed to in your econ courses.
Indeed! We've been thinking through this model, but there's still a bit more to figure out. Our primary goal is to empower the prosumer retail investor.
And you feel that the fact that the "helper" is black is only racist because it is seen through an American lens?
good catch, will fix shortly :)
I also find the claim itself rather implausible and it makes me think the author just has a generic anti-tech bias. (Know what else Google is responsible for? Forwards from Grandma! And reposts on your favorite subreddit! And people ghosting you on Tinder!)
Genuine question: is this what Microsoft blazor is?
Please avoid plain text protocols!

> * Simple to implement.
> * Fast to parse.
> * Human readable.

I'll give him one out of three. They are human readable. The are clearly not fast to parse - binary protocols are obviously faster. The biggest problem is "simple to implement".

That's just nonsense. Using text introduces so many ambiguities and tricky edge cases around quoting, whitespace, case, line endings, character encodings, escaping, etc. etc. etc. Soooo much more complicated than a simple binary system (e.g. Protobuf).

There was a link here only recently about how Go might introduce security issues by lowercasing HTTP headers. Would a binary protocol have had that issue? I seriously doubt it.

Don't use plain text protocols!!
Occupied people can't sign away their rights as occupied people. That's basic rubber-hose theory. Besides the PA is a total sockpuppet of Israel government. At least now you're admitting they're asking for help, after I linked to their press release about that. Unfortunately it's very difficult to import medical supplies through Israeli checkpoints. The Oslo process ended in 1999, and was widely rejected by Palestinians even before that. It no longer governs anything.
If you really want I can send you the pdf.
>Also, with openid I don't get to pick who I trust to do their job correctly.

That's probably where we're disagreeing. This is precisely why I like OpenID: it takes logins out of your / site owners' hands, where it's always been, and where it's been abused to no end, and puts it in mine, where I can actually make a few decisions.
