Sure, but the relatively short link to your reply, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2492783, is already 44 characters, so I'm only left with 96 characters on a twitter message.

With bit.ly, the link is much shorter with 21 characters, http://bit.ly/j8IpC8, and I'm left with 119 characters to describe the link in a twitter message.

Oh, and I'll know how many people clicked on my bit.ly link. I've become addicted to that feature.
When I was in the UK recently, I saw some exposes on supposedly "free-range" farms. The reporters used hidden cameras to record the atrocious conditions showing many sick and dead birds on excrement-covered floors that had obviously never been cleaned. Dead birds are supposed to be picked up every few hours, but it was clear some of the dead birds had been lying there for days.

Of course, the eggs laid by these sick, overcrowded birds were still sold at a premium, as was their meat. After the expose, the farms were closed down due to health violations, but it makes you wonder how many more such supposedly "free-range" farms are getting away with this sort of thing just because they haven't been unlucky enough to have been the targets of an undercover news story.

Here's an article critiquing "free-range" farms:

SIP session management messages are like HTTP over UDP.
One mitigating tactic for websites linking other people's content is to create a local copy and display that copy if the original content has been removed or de-linked. Though this may not be 100% kosher copyright-wise.

But speaking of preserving old link structures, would you suggest a strategy for doing so?
250M of documents per engineer. Not bad at all.

The real question should be:

Just what is the point of a "debt ceiling" if, every time we get near it, it simply gets raised to allow more debt to be aquired?

It is not really a ceiling if it never actually stops the debt from growing.

Chicago to Paris with only carry-on could be tough. Also, better get on early in case the overhead fills up and they "check" your luggage.
Dare you?
That's fair, but since Cloudflare has the reach and cred, it makes sense for them to:

1. Call BS on expensive compliance solutions.

2. Show they're relentlessly resourcesful and how other upstarts could be, too.

3. Prefer the scrappy, get-the-job-done over NIH.

Personally, I'm glad they blogged abt it, and generally too, in that they engage with the news.yc community despite having grown so large.
The US had its own currency long before it had a central bank.
Yea exactly, seems like they want to have their cake and it eat. I presume that they are aware of the fact that a heavy-handed approach towards dealing with hidden-city tickets is the worst way to deter it, but I suspect that it's what investors want to see [1]

I think it's safe to say that Reinoehl has been banned from Twitter.
by inciting more violence through disenfranchisement of desperate individuals.

it's a pretty common occurrence, historically.
Where did you hear that ICUs are always full? I keep hearing that from people, and I don't know if it's bullshit or not.

Do you have any sort of a source that ICUs and ERs are on divert more often than not?
Theres a video of the police letting the protesters into the capitol. They opened the door and are standing to the side

EDIT:

I urge people to go watch the video.

My opinion is that many walking in thought it was a protest and was just something the group was doing.
One fact that seems lost on detractors is that concentrating information processing tissue in a thing called a brain has value solely if it might need to make choices in a hurry; nerve impulses are slow, so where you are sending them had better be nearby if you are in a hurry.

When time urgency is removed from the picture, distributing that tissue throughout the organism is the safer course, despite how it inconveniences study by Kingdom Animalia. However, the strategy is not limited to Plantae; starfish have nothing recognizable as a brain, but display very definite intentional behavior.
I’m not trying to give Twitter a pass for the years they spent doing little...but...they are just people. Just a crew of nerdy tech folks showing up to work trying to balance freedom and safety (and profit), without much direct precedent.

If I was in their shoes, I’m not sure I would’ve been more effective.

This situation will be studied for decades as an example of what to do and hopefully the folks running into this situation next time will be more equipped to respond well.
One way things got better is they just migrated to pre-existing, externally available AWS services for many applications. Being able to sell them to Amazon teams at internal cost, getting performance and scale benefits and being able to use AWS primitives for orchestration is a major win.

So one person subject to an extremely obvious narrative-driven article by someone who clearly has an agenda on this issue? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Greenwald#Donald_Trump_a...

Her tweets are stupid, but quite frankly her response to Greenwald he shows in his own article is a fair response.
The article is a little light on details, but I can’t help wondering why, especially given the massive amounts of resources and funding going into surveillance and intelligence gathering post 9/11.
There are plenty of stochastic processes during gestation, right? Fingerprints come to mind, which aren't genetically linked at all
I was playing with similar idea. To provide browser-based playground for bitcoin scripts.

Technically my approach was different. I used emscripten to compile bitcoin sources into javascript and exposed simple wrapper of its functionality.

Interesting excercise, never finished :(

I mean in my mind I'm comparing it to a well moderated IRC channel.

Is there a technical limitation of IRC you're overcoming or is it a user interface choice?
Managers hate these solutions because they are explicit social conflicts that creates a lot of ill will and negative morale. If a pre-commit script enforces something vs. an angry email from another engineer it's far less personal.

Worse yet, you have to be a pretty high level manager to make the middle managers do this, because some of them like the noise, or being able to get status any time, etc.
Except that Tesla as far as I know has no ownership in SpaceX, while Google now does. My interpretation is that the OP is not just looking for an investment in Elon Musk, but specifically in his space venture.
there's an awesome lady at Stanford Hair (http://www.stanfordhair.com/) that simply blew my mind with her kindness. She took customer service to a whole new level. I've since moved from Palo Alto to SF and I've tried really hard to make my schedule work just so I can get a hair cut from her. I think I'm going to make that happen this weekend. I was a fresh PhD dropout living on $600/mo ~ 2 yrs ago, not quite where I want to be but things are much better now, I owe her a download of how things have gone :) OP thanks for the nudge.

>stop making movies until we end hunger.

Or building interstates or sports stadiums or paying inflated union benefits and salaries, or military spending, etc.

The problem is the above are all politicized and directly financially benefit some voters, thus have cheerleaders and other irrational actors holding up this spending and defending obvious corruption and abuses. Science, when done right, is non-politicized and doesn't financially enrich voters directly, so there's very little "I got mine" mentality here like there is with other programs. Many of which turn into "make work" programs (bridges to nowhere, etc), if not outright entitlements (welfare).

Not to mention the philosophical and practical problems with welfare in general. Once you establish a system where being poor is favorable to not being poor, then who will pay for all these resources. As a Chicagoan, CHA housing is a lot better than what you can rent on your own unless you make a decent wage. My wife and I used to wake up every morning in the winter and shovel snow only to watch the CHA housing across the street have city employees do this for them. Hell, if the government is going to house you, feed you, shovel your snow, etc what incentive do you have to ever leave that system? None as far as I can see. Now we have an idle class of people involved in drug abuse and gang related crime and shootings, as well as epidemic of unwanted children used to further game the system for benefits. Give up on space exploration for the sake of the insatiable welfare state which inevitably creates massive ghettos, massive taxation, angry youth mobs, and religious radicalization? No thanks. We've watched this path unfold in Europe and want none of it.

I am very flexible and open to learn any new technology even if it’s just for one small task. I can also read and understand other people’s code comfortably.
I am looking for a long-term SWE/Devops role, other roles are also welcome (Including technical Support: L2 or L3, iOS, Android and anything AWS-related).

About me:
I developed and released two mobile games a few years ago with one of them reaching #2 in the puzzle category on the app store.
Although I have a Chemical Engineering degree from Japan (2020 graduate), I’ve been coding way before I went to university. I can speak/read/write both English and Japanese fluently. I worked odd jobs throughout the first year of the pandemic and I currently work as a freelance Computer Science tutor for university students.
I can do anything you throw at me, hit me up!
It is only noticeable on very windy days. Not terrifying at all, but a little uncomfortable at times. On a really bad day, you can end up feeling a bit sea sick.
It’s possible you’re underestimating the sheer practical and symbolic significance of the building they broke into (and the people who work there). Which, actually, is kind of the whole problem. Can you provide an example of an evidence that would make this a coup for you?
I'm a regular in the Sheffield Arts tower one. It's a slow way to travel but I find it soothing watching the world go up floor by floor.

It helps that the building has been refurbished and now looks like it came straight from Mad Men.
Seems much lighter weight and doesn't change your interface so much. I tried pentadactyl and it felt (to me) that it changed the browser experience too much. This has fewer commands and options, but seems like "just what I need" as opposed to "everything". I came across it looking for Vimium for Firefox.
High voltage fluctuations today.

Instead of 220V we got down to ~165V.

Internet outages on top (I assume some hardware failed since multiple counties were affected on the RDS network).

Edit.

Here's a power graphic: https://www.transelectrica.ro/widget/web/tel/sen-grafic/-/SE...

Seems Romanias production fell under the consumption at around 15:30

Water fell at that time, so maybe some hydro was shut down? We did have multiple floods reported yesterday.
I'm currently planning a trip and have looked at both. CouchSurfing seems to rely a lot more on a sense of community, whereas Airbnd is more "business-y", which only makes sense given that CS is free whereas Airbnd is not. CS users are encouraged to maintain an up to date profile; the intricacy of some people's profiles rivals MySpace profiles of yore. Airbnd has a much nicer website.
> I disagree with that though. Especially the sentence "Hello World should be one line". In html, it is. You create a new text file, put the line "Hello World" in it, then you can open it up in your browser and voila.

It depends. It's one line in the sense that 'it works.' It's not one line in the sense that "it works but enables quirks mode and it won't necessarily work right equally in all browsers unless you do all this stuff ..." and that's why I dislike HTML/CSS for learning. Yeah, in the simplest cases, it's kind of easy, but it can get really complex really quickly.

That's not even counting the fact that markup is not really programming, and if you'd like to add some, you've now got TWO languages to learn, HTML + Javascript. And then you might want to do something server side, so now you've got three.

The complexity explodes really quickly.
Why did you leave the equipment in the car?
I was hoping it came from "limerick", a not-so-big concept in literature, but your guess sounds better than mine.
Less iffy than you'd think. Fonts are not copyrightable (within the US, at least, and for fonts that do not contain executable code).

The idea that you might not need the high-level language in the middle at all is interesting in itself. At least, it is to me. I've not seen it before.
Unfortunately, Ubuntu's latest version, called "Lucid Lynx," won't run properly yet on the X201.
Meanwhile, Lucid Lynx is running nicely in a "virtual machine" on my MacBook Pro.

wow! so you already moved ? what are you waiting for ? 10 years to get an OS that at least run on your hardware ?
Try accessing a site such as http://www.whatismyip.com/ via the wifi router, to see if the external IP of the hotel router matches the one you've found connecting to your mail server. In an attempt to confirm whether its likely the laptop is in the hotel.

You could also try a tool that maps an IP to location e.g. http://www.geoiptool.com/ - these aren't particularly accurate too be honest

Edit: If you know the Laptop is running a server e.g. SSH
you could try scanning the network for the local IP of the laptop with nmap.

e.g.
nmap -A 192.168.1.*

(With the '-A' option, machines will also attempt to be fingerprinted, to determine their OS etc, to start with it may be better running without '-A' as it takes a fair bit longer)
Have no fear, mine doesn't bother you with deciding on those details. grin

Seriously though, I understand developers react to someone changing a setting on their computer like a dragon who had a copper piece fondled by an unwelcome hobbit. However, normal people don't care, need those boxes checked or they will be unable to run the software again, and everything in an installer might as well be magic spells written in ancient Aramaic (though the cleverer ones have learned that the button on the bottom right casts "continue").
I thought...wth? these are first ingredients in every curry we make ... every day.

Hi HN, I'd love to get your feedback on Fitbay. It lets you connect with your Body Doubles - people with your height, weight and body type. Check it out - https://fitbay.com

To sign up you take "The Body Quiz", entering your height, weight and body type to find your 'Body Doubles' – people with similar proportions. Based on your entries we match you with others who have answered similarly to questions including height, weight, body type, torso type, arm length, age, location and cup size (for women). There are 1,700,000+ possible matchings in this quiz, so it's very accurate.

We then encourage users to share photos of themselves (selfies) and tag the brands and sizes they wear. In turn, this creates a personalized shopping experience where everything is in your size, presented by people who have a body similar to yours.
Conveniently ignoring the efficiency losses involved in electrical mobility. But whatever -- I'm not saying buy an equivalent gasoline vehicle and drive around. I'm saying buy a much smaller car and drive less. Or don't, but don't pretend you're driving around a sports car for the environment.

> bottled water is expensive but - somehow - really profitable!

The first time I encountered liquids being banned from carry-on luggage – a few years before any ban came into force in North America or Europe – was in China. A bottle of spirits I had packed in my carry-on was confiscated as I passed through security. And yet as soon as I got through security, I arrived at a series of shops selling the exact same stuff that people could buy and take on the plane. At the time, I wondered if this was less a security fear, and more an intentional trick to drum up business for the airport’s own retail by forcing passengers to buy bottled water, gifts and souvenirs from them instead of a cheaper place in town.
Define 'fair' in a way 65% would agree with. To me, 'fair' is what I negotiate. In my view, when value and price are decoupled, things tend not to go well. Keeping the things we value expensive, is exactly as it should be. This view does not perclude a social 'safety net', it just takes the position that wage laws should not be forced into imperfect duty as one.
The issue Docker solves for me is not the complexity or number of steps but the compatibility.

I built a service that is installed in 10 lines that could be ran through a makefile, but I assume specific versions of each library of the system and don’t intend to test against the hundreds of possible system dependencies combinations or assume it will surely be compatible anyway.

The dev running the container won’t building their own debian installs with the specific version required in my doc just to run the install script from there, they just instanciate the container and run with it.
Not sure what it’s being downvoted if you street park a car at -20 it ain’t gonna start if it doesn’t have engine block heating.

If your car was sold in a region that gets that cold it was likely pre-installed if not you had to take care of that.

The block heater heats up the oil which heats up the engine block it’s usually electric that can run off the battery or an external outlet.

If you buy a car which was intended for warm or moderate climates and drive it in Norway or Minnesota during peak winter you won’t be starting it in the morning.

> Having a more light duty trucks zipping around because we've regulated fewer medium duty truck out of profitability for that use case is likely not environmentally efficient.

Really? I thought it was personnel-inefficient but pretty much ideal for the roads, for the aforementioned power-law reason. Lighter trucks are gentler on the roads even if there are more of them.

Do I misunderstand?
The problem with Facebook tracking is that even if (like me) you don’t use Facebook / don’t have it installed random apps on the App Store will push your data to King Zuck.

This is what the data sharing is about. If you’re a regular user a Facebook that ad from the Charleston SC burger joint will still reach you. They don’t share that data with anyone else.

It’s the random game or app you install that will no longer push their data to Facebook.

Edit. Fixed typo.
Is that even legal in the place you live? Perhaps they laughed because maybe you're showing your interviewer a lack of understanding of real-world implications of BTC?

Let's assume for the sake of argument that you're right an Amazon warehouses are nearly all located in areas where rents exceed the median by a meaningful amount. So what? Living right next to your employer is as much as right as anything discussed here. Ignore Amazon for a second. There are gas stations in areas like Malibu that have bad traffic and extremely expensive real estate. The people working there are obviously not living anywhere close, and I'm thinking they probably get paid less than Amazon warehouse workers in the same state (and have much worse, if any, benefits).
Sure you can, it's been done, it's not rocket science.

The problem with today's school system in America (and likely elsewhere throughout the industrialized world) is that it's very much aimed at teaching the wrong people the wrong things in the wrong way (and that's when teaching doesn't take a back seat to day-care). The main goal is for everyone to memorize as much of a broad swath of "material" as possible, it's very much a teaching-to-the-test least-effort system. It's not geared toward maximizing each individual student's learning. Nor is it geared toward teaching competency and fully mastering basic yet key skills. Nor is it geared toward teaching useful skills that are key building blocks in the workplace, as a member of society, and as a functioning citizen of a democratic republic.

The steps necessary to improve this situation are fairly straightforward. As a start, reduce class sizes and hire better teachers, which is possible without increasing per-student expenditures provided the bloat in non-teaching staff and unnecessary expenditures is cut back (per-student spending has more than doubled in the last 3 decades, adjusted for inflation, the money has not gone to improving education, it has been frittered away). End the farce of overstuffed curricula. There is a monomania about covering as much material as possible, so long as students can retain enough to pass a test, but students don't retain much of the material and when the fundamentals are neglected they miss out on that too. Take the basics back to basics, emphasize the fundamentals (reading, writing, mathematics, fundamental science), learning them, knowing them, mastering them. Continue to refresh and test students on those fundamentals throughout their entire K-12 educations. And provide enough funding to allow gifted students to work at a faster pace, either within existing classes or in classes of their own.

I could go on, but that's a good start. Unfortunately, the biggest impediments aren't knowing how to improve, it's all of the interests and bureaucracy protecting the status quo.
