I’ll take job creators over people who have money and do nothing with it.

There are affluent people who have money and park it or spend it away.

Also just having great volumes of potential workers and no one to organize them into a productive body does little good.

Khan Academy videos are Creative Commons licensed, and Kolibri provides a way to download the videos wholesale. Our focus is on the whole learning experience (which includes exercises and articles, plus keeping track of skills that a student has mastered). We also put a lot of work into providing tools for teachers and coaches to help students.

Videos are one part of our work.
In your view, what should Fauci have done differently?
> It's difficult because the two of you are choosing to make it difficult!

No, it’s difficult because the New York Times has chosen to adopt a phrase that has a well-understood usage with respect to violent extremists, and use it to refer to literally all other white people. If you don’t want people to complain you’re being confusing then don’t do that.

> Perhaps it's impossible to follow the discussion above without Googling Nick Land, spending ten seconds skimming his Wikipedia page, and seeing the word "Atomwaffen" and reading the rest of the sentence. But you're interested in truth, aren't you? Are those ten seconds so much to ask?

Imagine if the New York Times had chosen to call all traditionalist/conservative Muslims “jihadists.” That’s exactly what the Times is doing with “white supremacy.” Should we all just play along, and Google to see if someone actually wants to kill non-believers, or whether they just support the tradition of gender-segregated prayer?

> What you're doing is plainly poisoning the well

Poisoning the well is a form of ad hominem where you invoke an unrelated fact to detail a discussion. In discussing a newspaper article about white supremacy, it’s not poisoning the well to point out that the newspaper’s deliberate editorial choices have made it impossible to understand what’s being discussed without doing your own research. It’s totally relevant.
A well written and refreshingly honest account of mistakes to avoid while holding events during these times. Kudos!
Yeah, we've had a couple of major ice storms/ extreme snow here in the past 3 years too. It's a little disturbing when you realize they are hitting us at the expense of the North Pole.
I'd start at meetup.com to find groups for networking. Here's at least one in La Paz:

Same exact experience as well. We ended up creating a new Amazon account linked to a different bank account and EIN (subsidiary of the main company) just to get around the lockout after submitting information to verify and waiting quite awhile. Months later we received a notice saying the first account was unlocked after review but by then the Kickstarter was over and the money already deposited in our other account.
About to launch some new features on my site (Social Blade) and was going to open it up to allow some of our power users to beta test it this weekend. Looks like your tool may help them report bugs so giving it a shot. Thanks :)
This title alone is gitception!
A good comment from a previous discussion:

Looks like PICBIT is finally open source: https://github.com/stamourv/picobit

We use(d?) it at U of Montreal to drive small PIC18 robots. Except for the one time I had to debug its GC, it was a fine platform, even for HS students.
How can they make a phone for only $30 and still make money. I'm curious, does anyone on this thread happen to have a tear down report.
Haskell is not imperative, though it allows you to express imperative programs within it via Monads. One way to think of Haskell is as a purely functional, lazy analogue to the C Preprocessor. Your program is then merely a function whose value is a set of instructions for performing the effects you desire on some particular machine. The cool thing about being lazy in this context is that preprocessing time (evaluation of the function) and runtime are interleaved rather than separate (as in the case of C).
by the way, Hindi has same word for lunch and dinner too.
Fun to play around with! Consider a switch to enable RPN.
I think there were cases where that was used to bypass some naive upload filters in conjunction with a back end that would detect and try to handle the attached/hidden malware.
> After 3 kids I don’t really care about the criticisms anymore

Even after having one kid, I too no longer care about the criticisms. We're all just trying to survive.
Government contracting is a whole separate animal, can discuss separately, my email is in my HN profile.
I don't think OP was talking about high-voltage lines: in most of Europe high voltage is way higher than most vegetation and within cities lines run underground.
I also like this approach, although I am using Nix instead of Docker for a slightly more lightweight way of managing dependencies of different stages.

If you also reduce the assumptions made by your CI scripts, as in the scripts themselves will authenticate to and set up any needed connectivity / port forwarding, or fetch secrets instead of being passed secrets from the CI system, then you end up with some really nice portable scripts that can be run from anywhere.

The only things that my CI scripts depend on is an authentication token to Hashicorp Vault, an internet connection and Nix to be installed on the machine.
I worked across the street from Weird Stuff in Milpitas during the mid 90s. It was an awesome place to kill lunch time.
We're in agreement here for sure -- my only issue is that the "proprietary monopoly" problem is far far greater than suggesting it's "merely mobiles" (which itself would be enough of an issue) Even if you don't see them now, they spring up FAST.

If you get to work inside your own silo, that's great, I try my damnedest to do the same thing;e.g. I've deliberately not learned Windows 10 precisely so I can really "walk the walk" in terms of showing people around me how bad I think it is.

But e.g. Covid challenges that way of doing things HARD. I work in higher-ed and also have young kids doing remote learning, and I can't just stand my ground when this tool or that tool pops up, either because of my career or because while I don't mind being a slight jerk to people around me about my tech choices, I won't/can't do so to these teachers who are trying their hardest.
You’re right, that part is the worst part in my experience.

I think whatever allows the parents to be happy and take the best care of their kids is ideal. If they need sex to stay close (very normal) then so be it. I think modeling a close and loving relationship is great for kids.

We co-slept with our kids and it was terrible for our sex life. I don’t regret it - the kids loved it and it made a lot of things easier, but I have a hard time imagining how you’d tackle the sex aspect without a great support network and flexible work - anything to allow more time alone here and there.
> Milk is being dumped into the (metaphorical? literal?) gutter because of over-production.

I truly hope this isn't the case, because I love cheese and would gladly do my part to help get rid of the excess production.
Exactly, you just have to check how's your query evaluation process doing if you want to do fancy stuff that SQL may struggle with / don't understand
While SELECT * has no place in a production code, it's the right thing to do during data exploration with ad hoc queries. Only after I get sufficient understanding of the data, I'll restrict the columns.
I often see junior developers assume what they need just by the name of the columns, and miss something.
Oh wait, I just did that a few days ago. It was embarrassing.
So if I understand correctly, Latin characters aren't used for loanwords like this in written text?

When I was young I used to play some MSX games in Japanese, the language doesn't really matter for a lot of these 1980s games, and you would frequently see English words and terms written in Latin characters used all over the place.

Why won't this work for Hindi? Are people not familiar with these characters? Or is there just no tradition of doing so?
> You really think that outside of our "hacker news bubble", everyone is dying to go back to their offices in SF

In the real world, once a company becomes self-sustaining no one with real decision-making power cares about productivity, they care about amassing more power, even at the detriment of the organisation. Those games are infinitely better played in person. I don’t like it any more than you do but that won’t change these facts.
I use Linux so I have no idea about these problems.
So this whole "we should hold them to the same standards" thing is a sham. You've given up, oh no, it's just too hard. We'll claim to hold them to the same standards because it has a nice ring to it, and then do something else entirely.
The numbers are falling all over the western world; probably because the policy response is largely same and maybe also because the virus' natural cycle is at the same stage.

Probably the latter. Mortality doesn't seem to be affected by (covid specific) policy:

ehhhh im not sure how you are reading this but the chart looks quite bad
To add to bildung's comment, what many of us are wondering is given all the existing tools and complexity, why add another integration point?

In the scenario you're describing where you're provisioning virtual machines in a cloud, shuffling docker containers around on a fleet of VMs may not be the way to go. Many people would use some combination of disk images and configuration management to achieve the same ends.
I am sitting here feeling awful and anxious about this. Thank a for the laugh. :-)
Wouldn't building (& hosting) the server, building the client, and communicating only with accounts using your server be just as good?

Note that this isn't just theoretical - there are governments using Matrix, but not necessarily federating with other instances.
Making people uncomfortable by demanding humans be treated as humans isn’t the same thing as making people uncomfortable by demanding even a flawed democracy be overturned to bullying.

The point of protest is to disrupt, whether the disruption is of an idea or a system of power. The moral equivalence of disrupting because people are oppressed vs disrupting because people want to illegitimately retain power is bankrupt.

Thanks for mentioning simple-peer! It's been humbling to see all the clever ways that people have used it to build clever and interesting apps.
I mean, I wrote a blog post about it... :)
Unfortunately, I'm on the same stand as you. I managed to move my direct family and one group of friends into Telegram, but the rest didn't follow and many have been pestering me to go back.

I was thinking about going back, actually, but using a separate phone number (dual SIM FTW) and a work profile sandbox with heavily restricted permissions. I might still give it a shot, see if that's enough to quell FB's insatiable hunger for personal data.
What is minimum entropy referred to here? Is it -log(max(p))?
You may have noticed, but this site isn't specifically about technology. It's anything that may interest people of this industry. This is something that should concern everyone.
The trouble is that those expectations exist for a reason, and there’s a whole world of best practices and efficient patterns that have developed specifically to solve the challenges of orchestrating and monitoring ETLs. What feels convenient for researchers using a notebook is just fool’s gold (for known, legit reasons), and it damages credibility with other domains of engineering when their widely vetted best practices are ignored just for the sake of convenience tools like notebooks or manual job kickoff interfaces through a vendor tool like Databricks.
> Everything is correlated when shit hits the fan. Gold has stored value since forever. These days every investment is highly speculative.

I wouldn't want to be holding a lot of precious metals if/when asteroid mining gets going.
I bet there won't be many data centres happy if you're doing tons of traffic to the tor network. Many even disallow simple things like IRC.
The attack is unique in its usage of the supply chain. The malware is not 'sophisticated' in the same way stuxnet is because it has different goals. This actors goals align with stealth above all else, which is evident in both the design of the malware and the choice of the supply chain delivery vehicle. Also realize that the network comminication scheme used attempts to blend in with the legitimate SolarWinds software. If you design a stuxnet like malware and deploy it to 18k+ companies it will be found, because exploiting zero days left and right is super noisey. This malware was minimal. It's cool in a different way
I think it only really became a debate once a popular idea spread around saying that wearing a mask is to protect others from yourself. Before that, mask wearing seemed a little bit selfish or paranoid, but that idea turned it into a moral action. And morals give people a feeling of rightousness in judging others and fighting against them. Then when people start fighting, others find themselves in the position of enemy so they fight back out of indignation.
No. I don't see any protected health information.
And if something break down while there, it is no way to get support.
I heard something awhile back about the us government(NSA) leveraging the cookie in a way that they could use it as a surveillance beacon. I doubt there is any relation, but it makes you think a bit.

"invalid" is relative to a spec. You are writing in a language (usually) that specify what guarantee you get.
I don't work for plague nor I am affiliated with it any way whatsoever but give it a try guys. It's so refreshing, before it sucks you in like a drug :)

How does that differ from a "learning rate"?
The games industry is like the fashion industry. Young boys, girls respectively are super motivated to get a job in the industry, they think they're not interested in doing any other job. That desperation enables the industry to take great advantage of them at the lower levels: if they're not willing to work under those terms, there are a number of eager replacements.

I'm not morally judging the situation, I think of it as a natural effect of market forces. A rational person would just go to another industry. I'm a software developer who was never anywhere near the game industry, fwiw, though I have had an appreciation for computer games since childhood. But In these industries, there are enough enthusiastic, perhaps not quite rational people, to keep that workforce unusually pressurized, metaphorically speaking.
Do you really think it's stupid to consider asking a client whether they're okay with you sending their personal data to another company? Just assuming that only a tiny minority of them actually care seems a bit careless.

I don't like the EU cookie law either, but that's a completely different thing. The only thing they do have in common is that they make UX designer's lives a bit harder, but that's really no excuse.
Gemini Trust Company | Remote or (NYC, Portland, Chicago, San Francisco) | Principal or Senior AppSec Engineer In the emerging industry of digital assets, there is nothing more important than trustworthiness (which is why Gemini’s very first hires were security experts).

As well as some 48% of voters in the Brexit vote. They are talking nonsense. Furthermore however much the Brexit fanatics may wish otherwise, the British Isles are still part of the continental landmass of Europe.
Some additional good reading on Aquino here: http://visupview.blogspot.com/2017/04/

"... A three-year-old girl, reportedly molested at the Army's Presidio day-care Center in San Francisco, had fingered Aquino as the same 'Mikey' who photographed her in the nude and sexually abused her in a black-painted room with a cross on the ceiling. On August 14, 1987, Aquino's home was raided by police detectives, FBI agents, and members of the Army's Criminal Investigation Division. Several carloads of 'evidence' were seized and what Aquino called a 'modern witch-hunt in the most classical sense,' but no charges were ever filed against Aquino or any member of his church. In April 1989, Aquino filed formal complaints against to SFPD detectives involved in the raid, and police commissioners sustained the complaints in November 1990. Detective Sandi Gallant was 'counseled' to avoid derogatory comments on Aquino's church or lifestyle, while Detective Glen Pamfiloff got a written reprimand for his conduct on the 1987 raid."

(Raising Hell, Michael Newton, pgs. 19-20)

...

"We are fortunate that the Auschwitz taboo prevents people from looking too closely at... Nazi Germany, or from experimenting with any of its regular governmental doctrines. Because they work. They are the essence of true political power. Anti-Semitism is irrelevant to them... It is ironically true that a right-wing backlash in the United States – which is what the neo-Nazis are hoping for – would wipe them out first. If an American Fuehrer does appear, he won't be wearing a uniform with a swastika armband. He will wear a business suit, and he will be calling popular attention to the patriotic virtues in 1776."

(Michael Aquino, taken from Arthur Lyons' Satan Wants You, pg. 174)
Yeah, I feel Messenger or WhatsApp doesn't really come into play here. Facebook has at least two different privacy settings when it comes to phone numbers and how it's shown to people:

1. At https://www.facebook.com/USERNAME/about_contact_and_basic_in... - there's a contact info section where one can fill in a phone number (among other details) and set the visibility to Public/Friends/Friends except <group>/Only me/Custom/custom lists.

2. And https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=privacy - there's a "How people can find and contact you" section that covers "Who can look you up using the phone number you provided?" with options of Everyone/Friends of Friends/Friends/Only me. I imagine it'd be very easy to select the wrong thing during setup due to the overwhelming number of things to read and click.

I suspect those who have set the latter, or both options to "Everyone" will most likely be in the "free" data dump (except perhaps for most Australian Facebook users, for now).

I feel the second setting is riskier, especially if you don't want employers or colleagues to be able to simply look you up on Facebook by phone number. For example, I could hypothetically display my phone number to "Everyone" on an incognito profile and no one should be able to just wander by and spot my profile and immediately figure out who I am (assuming this profile doesn't somehow get suggested to "Friends you might know" - big assumption, yes; but this would depend on how I complete my profile). Regardless, either one or both set to "Everyone" is a recipe for disaster.

I believe more people would have allowed number searching compared to those who just have their phones displayed to everyone on their contact info sections. In effect, it's a bit of a reverse phone book, plus extra.
Well, I think the ADA only applies to businesses with more then 15 employees. The idea is that if you have a business that large, even if one person has a problem with dogs, not all 15 (or more) will, so you should be able to accommodate and provide service.

So in your example, the business should have a different waiter/waitress provide service.
This Ballmer clip is the first thing I think about when I hear K-LOC.
Part of the humiliation voyeur effect is that notion that, "my life sucks, but they have it worse than I do". One thing in 15 Million Merits that I found interesting too is that in the first-person shooter game, the player is killing the 'lower class' annoyances versus aliens, other factions/countries, enemies - it actually creates an even greater sense of claustrophobia in this world and emphasizes that whoever is in power is not even part of the consideration set for "revolution".
> Maybe you should rethink your policy either way.

Do you have articles discussing the cons of AWS keys in private repos?

We deploy our systems on vanilla EC2 instances, which are configured by using a server orchestration system (Ansible). So for any env variables to get set, we'd have to put them in config scripts, which are currently checked into github.

To make it clear, we only check in our IAM keys that are AWS service specific, like SES.
Can you explain the racism part to me as I fail to see it. It's racist to say that bike prices are higher in Poland?

Rabbit.js implements the ZeroMQ patterns in node.js.

Some other things that might help understanding here:

http://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2010/09/22/broker-vs-brokerless...
http://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2010/10/18/rabbitmq0mq-bridge/

The second article is written by one of the main authors of ZeroMQ, and includes info that may indicate that, as he says: "RabbitMQ and 0MQ are focusing on different aspects of messaging".

On being "faster", do note that almost all modern messaging software is more fast enough for web apps which rarely require more than a few 1,000 messages per second.

I'm sorry you don't like things that are written in Erlang. But there are some quite good reasons for using it, e.g. http://jlouisramblings.blogspot.com/2010/11/on-erlang-state-...
