The problem I have with this article is that it is written in such an all-encompassing manner, using statistics that do not lend themselves directly to the conclusions presented (for example see jeroen's comment/thread [1]).

Freely admitting that I surround myself with ambitious, passionate people, if I look purely at personal anecdotes, almost every female I know in this country would be horrified to be characterised like this. "Lackadaisical approach to their careers"? Coffee at 2p.m.? Snubbing advancement?

There are one or two good comments on this at Yglesias / Think Progress: http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/2010/11/dutch-women-and-pa...

Now… if only I could persuade my girlfriend to stay in bed after 5:30 or come home before 20:00.

I think that this is actually pretty good use of security by obscurity. You cannot prevent well motivated and capable attacker from launching unauthorized nuclear strike by purely technical means.

Well probably anything related to "tamper proof" security (defending against attacker who has full uncontrolled access to "secure" device) of anything is security by obscurity at best (security of such commercial products is often based on that each device uses unique configuration of countermeasures) and pure snake oil more often.

In this case whole security of this system really relies on people (and their belief that there are some technical security measures that they cannot trivially circumvent) and focusing on technical means too much would actually divert resources to something that is actually not possible to do perfectly. USAF probably correctly assumed that relying on people is better approach. I remember that some (probably DoD-sponsored, in relation to WMD security) study asserted that only meaningful way to protect system from well funded and motivated attackers is to not let such attackers near the system (presumably by means of guarding it).
When did they add custom domain names for email? Do you get that in the $99/year family plan?
It's less complicated and unrelated to echo cancellation; you just tell the transmitting codec to always encode whatever audio you've given it, rather than detecting silence.

(Echo cancel is usually in the local audio path before data is passed to the codec. So the outbound codec would hear silence rather than an echo of inbound audio. At least that's my experience of working with PJ-SIP)
I am from Phusion. No idea who downmodded you, but this happens often on HN.

But what you mentioned is not the same thing. In the examples you linked to, Google Analytics and other cookies are removed, leaving only a single cookie. But that's not what we're after. We want to vary by a specific cookie, without removing the other cookies.

For example, Rails stores the session data in a session cookie. We advocate introducing a user_id cookie in addition to the session cookie. Using your approach, the session data would be removed, which breaks the application. Our approach leaves all original cookie data intact while still varying on a specific cookie.

Furthermore, another idea that we've described in the blog post is to vary based some user property, e.g. the user's permission level, in order to increase the cardinality of cache entries. This is not something you can do with only Varnish: it requires cooperation from the app.
I have at various times in my life enjoyed an unrestricted schedule and each time reverted to a just-before-dawn bedtime. This preference is an enormous factor in my daily life, since, obviously, such an arrangement is impossible in most careers. So I'm never, ever tired when I should be, frequently sleepy when it's inconvenient, and always, always, always, fighting against my body's inclinations.
I doubt that most researchers work in universities. Every large product company (food, pharma, automotive, gaming) has multiple research groups, and while they tend to be very small relative to the larger company they are probably much bigger than most academic departments.
That’s a little far, old doesn’t mean good. The bleeding edge often gets abandoned, but tech has generally been improving over time. IMO, the sweet spot starts when something was a fad ~5 years ago and is still reasonably popular.
I think it's UDP. Probably for the audio
CCP has 90 million members. They have more opportunities because government jobs would favor CCP members. They also have responsibilities, when they are called when incidents, such as flood, and covid 19 incidents. Dr. Li Wenliang is a CCP member as well.

If you ask people from any developing countries, they would express the same attitude (as you do for CCP) towards their own government. The reason is that the officials and way of work is stuck behind current standard, and that's why it is called developing country.

Personally I don't care too much about if it was a lab virus or something else, it becomes all political. Could it be better? I don't think so. If it was developed in a bio-weapon lab, China would have handled it well because it would be prepared.
>What a depressing waste of everyone's time.

That is an extremely accurate summary of American politics over the last 5 years.
Ouch. I missed the reference!
Google went crazy with hiring in 2006 and relaxed its standards, letting in a bunch of duds. There's a higher chance at Google that your manager is going to be a creep and your coworkers are going to be mouth breathers. Facebook is younger and smaller so does not face these issues (yet). If you do encounter a poser at Facebook, at least they are a cool, young , good looking poser, not a yucky beardo comp sci Phd poser...

Also, every bullshit funded startup in NYC pays what Facebook is paying, or better. (just a pro tip in case anyone else here is too old for facebook but needs to make some dough after spending too much time in the 80-90k zone, like I did)
You have multiple options.

If you use SSL, then it might be easiest to just use http authentication, transmitting the users credentials for each request, which is also the only official restful solution (each request should be independent of each other request).

If you don't want to do that, create an endpoint that takes username and password and returns a token which must then be present in each request (maybe even as part of the authorization header).

Or use OAuth.
They got syncing nailed down. It's the cloud infrastructure and ability to resolve conflict all while setting up for some new platform they are probably building. I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of web-based Things when the cloud stuff goes live.
I'm perfectly fine with zsh, it gives me all that except syntax highlighting (which I don't really need)--I just use the GRML zsh scripts with some of my own personal aliases (and I don't have to learn a non-bashlike syntax). http://grml.org/zsh/
> Assange made a distinct impact on the news and world events this year, but his face has been all over for this reason and that for weeks...

They made a movie about Zuckerberg!

It played in theaters, on big screens! Dozens of them. Possibly hundreds!

A movie!
Actually if they are true bayesians they probably dream of the surrounding landscape, the quality of grass the sheep graze on, seasonal weather conditions, available water quality and probably most important, an entire subset of classifiers related to the competence of the shepherds.
I had a gig of iPad app development. It was from a company that wanted to do proof-of-concept and had a limited budget. Since I code during my free time anyway, I just took it up and learned a lot of business-related stuff like how to discuss requirements, quotations and invoicing along the way. I would say this is an eye-opening journey that worths much more than the money I earned. :)
Now that you mention it, I don't know either. As a whole, I'm sure the Android platform is buggier, especially in devices with an OS less than 2.1, but overall I think BlackBerry the OS is buggier.

One big problem with Android though, is that some of the phone manufacturers decided that it was a good idea to tamper with the standard Android Bluetooth code, so that caused (and still causes) some seriously problems.
Oh yes. The purpose of 'related' lists to give people more (hopefully) interesting stuff to read—not to scold anybody!

Reposts are fine after a year or so (this is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html) and the for perennial classics, occasional reposts are important so more recent user cohorts can get steeped in the culture (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32405060).
I tried to watch Star Wars V yesterday. On Netflix? Nope. On Hulu? Nope. On Amazon Prime? Nope. Amazon Instant? Nope. On Vudu? Nope.

I could have upgraded my Netflix subscription, and had the DVD shipped to me in 4 days. Except, I don't own a DVD player.

I could buy the blueray from Amazon. Except, I don't own a blueray player.
John Wright's "The Golden Age" uses exactly that plot point early on: someone vanishing by wrapping themselves in a passing advertisement.
Google Glass made you look like an idiot.

HoloLens does the same but if you believe their product video: you _are_ an idiot.
This article (and many comments here) grossly misunderstand the nature of city parking regulations.

> Cities could make it easier for them, and improve parking compliance, just by making the parking signs clearer.

The signs are confusing on purpose. Parking tickets are a huge source of revenue in most cities. Improving parking compliance is not the goal in most places. The goal is to maximize revenue from fines.

Any assessment of the design merits of the signs must at least be aware of the actual context of the design they're evaluating. The signs are very well designed in the context of their actual goal -- to confuse people and generate more income for the city.

Note that I am not endorsing this practice, just pointing it out. That's simply the way it actually is in most cities, irrespective of anyone's particular moral evaluation of whether it ought to be that way.

If you think it's wrong that this happens, the first step towards fixing it is acknowledging that it's happening, rather than ascribing the confusing signs to simple ignorance of good graphic design practices.
An axe would be overkill. We built absolute shit in the U.S. because homes are recognized to be consumables. Literally no thought is given to upgradability. Plumbing and electrical is buried anonymously beneath drywall. Stick-built is still the standard, which is a fucking disgrace in the 21st century.

Fortunately there is a sliver of light at the end of this tunnel (article from previous HN post):

Depends on location, and seniority.
Actually, the researcher who works on this is a pioneer in the field of “example based programming”, which is pretty cool stuff. But it does occasionally produce garbage when given garbage (what did you expect February to map to?). In the space of simple programs that map Jan to Janet Jackson, that one doesn’t seem too bad!
Where does it talk only about Google+ Sign-in as the migration from OpenID 2.0?

On the same page, they list how to migrate to OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect, and even say "If your OpenID 2.0–based app does not need social features or is on a platform not supported by Google+ Sign-In, or if you want to work directly with the OAuth 2.0 REST APIs, then we recommend migrating to Google's OAuth 2.0 login (OpenID Connect) solution, as described below."
I think you hit the nail on the head, but here's my issue: It's not so much companies like those that have a problem. I've been recruited by all the big guys on the strength of my open source work (save for Facebook, but that's probably due to a major conflict of interest, considering what I'm working on), but the real problem arises when you have smaller companies latching on to this approach, without the recruiting power of a Google or an Amazon. So now I get contacted by a small startup who all of a sudden wants me to take a quiz because they fancy themselves the next Google.
not as good in terms of UI/ux but compared to pgp emails much simplier
ps telegram is no more secure than Whatsapp unless u use secret chats
Last time I tried to use it it on my android didn't work without google play services. And they really bury the apk download, which means it's useless(or heavily discouraged) for people without a google account.

(Edit: this is rather a negative comment but its out of frustration -- I want to use it!)
You said it yourself, switching would be a complication, and manufacturers are happy to maximize that complication as much as possible. I consider it unethical to impose artificial hurdles to switching upon consumers, especially when they most likely aren't familiar with vendor lock-in.

iMessage is a good example for me. It replaces a federated, universally-compatible service with a centralized service that works only on Apple devices. The upgraded features are nice enough to be alluring, and now a significant portion of American smartphone users feel compelled to remain with Apple so that they don't experience any difficulties communicating. This is a sticking point for me in particular; I used to be a heavy user of multi-protocol messengers like Trillian, during the time when multiple providers offered mutually incompatible messaging services.
The root of the problem is what this article correctly describes as the deprecated properties `keyCode` et al. These are essential raw Windows events that browsers in the '90s unwisely decided to expose. For any platform that is not Windows, these have to be emulated, which is not at all simple, since the details vary according to particular Windows keyboard layouts.
> recommending poetry for a beginner is a bad idea.

Strongly disagree. There are so many footguns with low-level tools like pip that I can't recommend it to anybody but an expert (but an expert doesn't need my recommendation anyway).
Makes two.

(Further, I am convinced any prolonged F'book outage would end up feeling a bit like how ...

... during COVID confinement, people spoke of "nature reclaiming urban spaces", and other such "rediscoveries" ...

... with people actually reclaiming a big chunk of their time, thoughts, attention and relationships back ...

... and the world being much better for it.)

Any prolonged outage would be the begining of the end for the social ad plataform Zuck runs ...
A lot of places depend on cars / 2-wheelers beyond American big cities. Based on my first hand experience - big cities in India and Brazil.
I would consider it if it were not horrendous.
I'm seeing the same thing in NYC.
I used to run my central heating at 20(68). Then I started working out at the gym every day and now feel comfortable at 17(63).
It is worth noting that this trend is actually more common in history then what we consider normal (a large middle class, moderate income inequality). See Piketty's 'Capital in the 21st Century' for a comprehensive look at wealth ownership over time.
I just want a computer stick form factor like the Chromecast. Maybe a couple of USB 3.1 reversible mini-connectors on it. Ideally I want to be able to choose my Bluetooth keyboards, mice, trackballs, microphone, some future version of the Leap Motion, a Myo, a Wacom tablet, etc.
The Joe Rogan Experience podcast is a reference point for me. It is streamed live on uStream. Video is put on youtube and Vimeo and audio is pushed to RSS feeds. It might be content a little less suitable to HN so Ill let you find a episode of it to see the video format but I think being the third person sitting at the table in VR would be amazing.
EDIT: I find it extremely ignorant that people believe conditions on earth will significantly deteriorate in the next century. Earth has been around for 4.6 billion years. It's appealing to say that humans are destroying the Earth, but it also incredibly arrogant. We have been a a flicker in the bigger picture. Disease or weaponry will kill us long before climate change does.

That doesn't mean I don't enjoy this timeline!
Honestly there are so many JS MVC frameworks. I'm looking at using one in the next little while, but with so many it's going to take more effort than I'd like to pick a good one.
Hey. All the possible keys are simply divided into 4096 slots. You can assign any part of this slots to any given node, so you can assign things in strange ways, like, node 1 50% of all the nodes, and 10% each to node 2,3,4,5,6.

Redis-trib will simply propose something that makes sense, but you will be able to edit the initial guess of the tool.

About sharding before redis cluster you can do it already but with more problems for sure as resharding will be much simpler with redis cluster (however you can just avoid doing resharding for now, using a lot of nodes from the start, not optimal but works). Not sure what is the problem with hiredis or perl, did not understood this part.
I (European) didn't know about it either until recently :-).

It is strange though, because it seems to keep the EU, and national VAT registrations quite busy [1][2], while no one on the outside seems to be aware of it, nor is anyone enforcing it.

According to In the Plex, the first version of the Google logo was made in GIMP.
A lanyard with a magnetic connector doesn't suffice. If the enemy cuts the cord, the magnetic connector won't release and the computer won't know anything has happened.
But what could be the future of MS look like a strategic perspective? I am pondering a bit about that. They are somewhat squeezed in between closed system and open source. How can they position themselves for a solid path for the future in that middle-ground.
Flammable equals Inflammable? What a country!
While true, the average weight of a car is 4,000 pounds, of which the engine is 600, all of which is recyclable steel.

The best of both worlds is to ride an old chassis with a modern/freshly rebuilt engine. Both frugal and low pollution. There's no reason to run the chassis into the ground using an engine that's burning oil and choking on the gas.
Why does a company need to raise so-much-money before going public?

To spend it on a drastically raising revenue before the IPO: "...Our revenue grew by 785% last year so buy shares of our $xx billion company..."

*Isn't the whole point of "going public" to raise money?"
Nope, many times (if not most) it's to get the money back and then some for the early investors.
Thank you for the correction! Much appreciated.
Doesn't look like it:

The "Entertainment and Devices Division" is profitable, but contributes a negligible quantity to the overall profits.

And either way, the home game console is also a declining market.
If you want to be pedantic about it, sure.

It is if your car isn't a junker.
They've got premiere titles, but once you get past those it's pretty shallow. MCU, Disney animation, star wars ... old Simpsons?

I don't doubt they will get a ton of mileage out of that but I hit the boundaries of Disney+ way faster than Prime Video or Netflix.
No, he was paid with getting the experience. He got compensation in the shape of "build(ing) a resume"
>This idea that the principles that founding fathers championed, especially the Bill of Rights, should somehow be restricted only to what was possible with the technology of their time is pretty preposterous.

This is true, but also, the town squares were public places. Are you suggesting to nationalize Facebook?

Adding to this, maybe the best thing to do is to just fund a public social media site, where constitutional protections apply, and treat that as a virtual town square.
This is such a weird issue: NARA has the job of maintaining this archive, not Twitter. The issue isn't that NARA doesn't have a copy of the content: the issue is that they somehow want to host the national archive on Twitter's service? That doesn't even sound like a smart thing to do even if it were a reasonable request: Twitter might simply go out of business, or change their model... NARA should have its own website with all of the tweets. Hell: it could be a PDF!
Observations are typically lights seen by pilots or from the ground.

Conclusions range from meteors, astronomical bodies, other planes etc...

Honestly the thing that surprises me is how each report was completed in detail. There is usually insufficient data for a definitive analysis, yet each report must have days to complete.
This is a common belief of geeks and maybe most people everywhere, that breaking down concepts into more easily understandable elements and working on outreach is something necessary for progress. They also seem to expect the oppressed group to do all the heavy lifting- figuring how to complain in the right tone as well as mustering the energy to complain in the first place.

I'm not sure history suggests that this is the way to go. There's no easy, smooth social change, and self-described "moderates" should give more room for people to be angry. Your post, instead of giving some "advice" on how to help tell the message, should just be doing that instead. Skip this condescending explanation! Stop making it about shy males!

More importantly though, many people think they want to be convinced by cause-effect arguments A, B, and C, and they advocate for that kind of context-less discussion forum, but really what they need is to be allowed to discover A, B, and C on their own terms after being presented with a persuasive experience D. But to make it really connect, you need to get the person involved. Calls of sexism help with that. As an intellectually confident person, people calling me out bluntly and confidently about my sexism got way further with me than people trying to sell me some sanitized variant designed for socially stunted males.

I don't mean to blow up on you or anything, but seriously it's every day on HN that someone who gives the impression that "he sees both sides" and has got it all figured out seems to be taking some awkward position as mediating sage instead of following their own advice and helping craft the message. The overall impression is, of course, one of endless condescension.
I think the closest cousin is ActorDB http://www.actordb.com/
It's already happening. There are high-profile stories of bridges collapsing and so on. I live in Shenzhen right now and was looking for a new apartment during the summer last year. My roommate noted that a lot of the landlords all know that the apartment buildings will be replaced and rebuilt in 20-30 years.

If that's true, the expectation is already there. However, my impression is that this belief stems from this idea that construction will always be happening because that's how the economy rolls.

The question is what percentage of the population believes that this cycle really is the end game and what percentage of the population thinks they're investing into infrastructure what will last their entire life.
Talking about a tech bubble in the current 0% interest rate (negative in some countries), QE state of global finance is like complaining about a flooded basement when a tsunami is about to come in. Economic incentives have been so distorted for so long that the tech sector is probably one of the healthier ones.
There's other rare talent coming online all the time.
That statement considers a projectile shot with a cannon. Gravimetric energy density of e.g. gasoline is much higher than nitroglycerine (6.4 MJ/kg vs. 46 MJ/kg).
What does this have to do with the government not exerting sufficient regulatory force against bad actors in the nuclear industry? After all, people who don't like being regulated frequently trot out your very complaint as an excuse for why they should not be subject to more regulation. I think you're confused.
