That's literally what's been disputed. Your opinion doesn't make it fact. The courts have literally said they will not hear any testimony at all, both the 7th circuit who decided they had standing but the case had no merit, and the Supreme Court which decided Texas had no standing in the only venue available for States to resolve conflicts with other States (a state cannot sue in another state court).

The Supreme Court could have taken the case and simply ruled. America is upset because no one is listening. Every means of relief is full of cowards.
Well, I think we're all thinking it- how'd you go about acquiring your customers (as that's a notoriously hard market to crack)?

Also, your pricing for "Chain" @PocketDiner seems wayyy too low. Even £49/mo for "Multi" is probably priced too low. The overhead per store per hour is probably more than that.
Whoa - fun to hear and think back. My experience on AOL definitely inspired my interest in programming. I had a really similar experience.

First, with BBS's on my Packard Bell Pentium 60mhz (got from Costco, had that famous floating point bug). That's when I learned the difference between a local call and a local "toll" call (same area code as you doesn't mean local...oops)

Then I got on AOL (starting with 2.0 for DOS I think), Prodigy, CompuServe, and eventually MSN.

On AOL I ran into those "proggies" and met a guy named Cybermun who explained to me how to write them (he wrote AoHades). He gave me a copy of VB 3.0. I found it totally accessible in that I could design my UI point-and-click and then figure out how to make it work.

I'd ask Cybermun questions endlessly and he'd never answer directly, always forcing me to figure it out. My dad bought me a copy of the white book (The C Programming Language, Kerningham and Ritchie) Hung out in private room "warez2" most of the time.

I was "WalrusPowr" (and a dozen variants of that name). Every time I entered a chat room I'd announce myself with some funny string and "{s walrus" (remember that!? It would play a .wav file, provided you had a file with that name).

After some time I wrote a relatively popular shareware app called AoLOL! (worked on AOL 2.5 thru 4). Each week folks would mail me a check for $14.95 for registration.

AoLOL! added a row of icons to the AOL toolbar and gave you a bunch of extra functionality (most notably a "keep in touch" feature, which would cycle through a list of friends and automatically check if they were online). This was before the Buddy List and before ICQ had launched. Incidentally, I was put in touch with the founding ICQ team, let them use my AOL account to play with the recently launched AOL buddy list, fixed the broken English on their web site, etc. (they were four young Israelis). They offered me a job but I was in high school, had no drivers license, etc. My UIN is 104006 (they started at 100,000).

I also wrote an app called "AoLMNOP" which was a bit of a joke. It launched of "Ao" proggies and generally mocked the entire scene.

I can't tell you how many hours I spent staring into a 14" CRT between 10PM at 4AM chatting and "coding" (VB3 and mostly "Sendkeys". Some Windows API calls. Ha!) while my parents thought I was asleep.

My younger brother tells me he'd wake up to the sound of me laughing out loud and hammering away at my keyboard. It was a big part of my youth. Ahh, fun times.
> How many years have to pass before you'd find it acceptable to start assuming new software is for the new stuff?

It's not about the time passed, it's entirely about the usability. They didn't shift to webkit. They didn't just change the engine. They threw away literally all they had, fired most of their development staff, took a stock chromium, and started building new stuff on top of that, at a glacial pace.

So far they've managed to add only an utter miniscule amount of the hundreds of features found in 12, and from what they've communicated, much will never make it into the new codebase because they don't care, or because the features are impossible to implement in Chromium.

> How many years have to pass before you'd find it acceptable to start assuming new software is for the new stuff?

I wasn't asking for an overhaul, only for 4 added characters: " 15+" English isn't my primary language, so: Was i unclear about that?

And lastly, some feedback on the plugin itself: It's quite nice, and i like the quality of life thing of having it available from any page. However as far as i can tell there's no way to add existing youtube playlists to it wholesale, and if i have to add every video manually, i'd rather stick to bare youtube. Did i overlook something?
What's the smallest, easiest thing that you can make quickly? Make that. Then repeat.
To be fair, this is why I have no issue when GTA V for PC gets pushed back for the one-hundredth time. Maybe they didn't estimate it well, but hopefully they aren't buying in to the pro-crunch philosophy either. It seems like they're really trying to do it right and the end product will will probably reflect that.
I purposefully go out for lunch, despite office providing for lunch, exactly for this. I have to walk and catch a breath of fresh air around lunch time :-). Speaking of which I'm heading out for lunch!
That’s also an argument against allowing everyone to vote.
Alright it's indeed subtler than expected. Still a seemingly looking thing that is actually packed with mathematics. The point was a bit that sophistication doesn't come from the underlying technology.
Ya know, I miss the days when the schools in the wealthier part of town had things like advanced classes and air conditioning, and the rest of us just sucked it up and didn't whine. Because we gaddamn knew our places.
Starcraft does this for it's map animations. Each player in the game has a different color (so you can tell who's units are who's) and on some level that color is implemented as an index into memory, so if you set the player color above what the designers intended you can end up with wonky colors and (if memory serves correctly) some indices can land you in the rotating palette and give you subtile animated colors on your units. Most where just garbage memory though. This leads to a crash too because unlike most units the special 'flag' unit (for capture the flag) has a different portrait for each player color. It's also indexed by player color, so if you click on a flag of an invalid-color player, it crashes the game. This lead to fun maps like 'dont click the flag' but also woe in long running maps where players could click crash flags by mistake. Again, if memory serves, the crash was fixed by some hacks people would use in Roleplay maps (vision hacking allowed you to stack buildings) so RP map makers would include then anyway. Units to use as labels where at a premium in RP maps, you see...
What do you tell a poor black gifted student? "Sorry friend, no gifted classes for you the gifted classes were making the administration look bad. That is more important than your accademic career."
How would you change the date if you can't get around the prompt?
That's a bigger issue, but I agree.

I broke the yoke of Big Cable and transcended the "vidiots" only to have become lazy and a "netiot".

A friend I know appears to limit his computer (and phone) time to the morning hours. (I mean, I've never asked him but if I email or even text him, I never see a reply until the morning of the following day.)

I am going to try and do that as well. Get some actual shit done during the day again.
I'm all for equality but I'm not for enforcing equity of outcome. If there are any structural inequalities, tear them down. Everyone should have an equal shot a life. But this unfortunate does not mean everyone is going to have an equal outcome in abilities. Some people are just better at things than others.
At some point people on HN have to recognize that we’re almost reverse predictors of mainstream popularity. I’d prefer email too, but....clubhouse is social, and on a phone. How do people message each other on a phone, and how do they store contacts? Via phone number.

How comfortable are people giving phone numbers? Super comfortable! Just look at the growth. And then it is frictionless to invite friends.

Friction is the killer of anything that aspires to be popular. This does have rough implications for security and privacy, but those can come later once growth is achieved.
What do you think should be done if a person fails to commit suicide alone but left a note requesting a mercy death if somehow were to survive with extreme brain damage.
And there's almost certainly content that you would want to share with multiple groups, but you'd then not want the feedback/comments from those individual groups to be visible across all groups.
Ever tried free-writing? I've just completed a Masters and would use free-writing as a warm up exercise fairly regularly. Not sure it works for everybody but it seemed to work for me.
>I used it to counter the opposite extreme posited by the article, that even unpleasant or unwanted or unexpected touching qualifies as "assault"

Unwanted touching absolutely qualifies as assault. Imagine a movie theater, sick of people videoing their movies, started doing "pat downs" like this. It would be very clearly sexual assault then. And if the person they were touching were a child it would be even more clear.
does anyone else have recurring nightmares about going to prison?
I suspect it was a joke but I bet a word->phrase thesaurus/dictionary mash up could add say 30% to your word count.
Speaking for my jurisdication (Ontario), it is theoretically possible to find a driver guilty of careless or reckless driving and a penalty more severe than $500. In practice, it is extremely rare to see a serious charge, let alone a conviction, even when a driver strikes a pedestrian crossing legally in a crosswalk.

Lockhart has a book, "Measurement", that elaborates in the same vein. Quite nice.
Racial profiling is an evil word in the USA, but not so much overseas. If cops are investigating a serial killer possibly living in my neighborhood, I'm not going to be offended if they look closer at me since I'm a youngish white guy who fits the profile and is more likely to be a serial killer than other demographic groups.

I don't see why doing the same thing and focusing on groups in airports whom are statistically more likely to do harm on airplanes is a bad thing.

The reason why the TSA is a joke is because it is wrapped up in politics and tries to tiptoe around the whole profiling aspect, where if they just focused on behaviour and also people who are more likely to fit the bill of someone whom might commit a crime, a lot of the other annoying crap that comes with screening could go away and still have improved screening results.

A friend got us a gourd, bombilla, and a big canister of yerba mate from "somewhere in Ithaca" as a wedding gift. Yes indeed.
How about nowish?
Any way you slice it, discussion on ways to bypass scanners is not that relevant to technology. More importantly, there are a large number of sites where 'politics' can be discussed, don't infest a hacker site with it.
How true. The only online community I know that avoided this debacle is PerlMonks. The same small group of people groom it carefully and constantly since before the first dotcom bust. The website itself is getting tired, though, but the "consideration" system successfully kept trolls away for 10 years.

I'm wondering if it's possible to get this sort of results with a non-technical site, though.
Quitting loudly helps to burn the bridge. Presumably he is removing any temptation to return.
The Well actually has a discourse level that's comparable or even higher than HN on some subjects, but you need to pay $99 to join. The next discourse level up would be edge.org, but you're not allowed to contribute unless you're already a famous scholar.
He complains about lack of downvotes on stories, but then points out how downvotes on comments are abused. Personally, I'd rather have an unworthy story be voted up and having to ignore it than miss a good story because it was unfairly downvoted. Yes, I know that theoretically, poor-quality upvoted stories can mean good-quality ones are ignored, but I think that's less of a problem than good ones being prematurely killed by downvotes.

As for the "downvotes to show disagreement" problem, it's no where near as bad here as it is every single other place I've seen with downvotes. I do see one sided upvoting fairly frequently, but it usually is because the downvoted side is not arguing their position well, not because of their position. I'd say that the reverse is more of a problem, actually (poorly worded arguments that most HNers agree with being upvoted). Overall though, most downvotes I've seen have been due to poorly thought out or worded comments and comments that don't add value rather than disagreements. If you're downvoted here, you should generally put some thought into why. Every single time I've been downvoted, I've learned something from it.

One of my wife's family ancestors has a Wikipedia article. They are a reasonably famous person in their niche, multiple biographies written about them - at least one of which was cited (and clearly plagiarised in one part) in the article.

There was a glaring, massive factual error in the Wikipedia article - 10 seconds with any source about him would have highlighted what the error was. They said he was X, and he was actually Y and being Y was a big part of his life. We edited it - given that every single primary source about him says he was Y (including the sources cited on the page) this should have been cut and dried. It was reverted. After a while the massive factual error was replaced with a weasel worded "there was some evidence he was Y".

Someone who clearly had no clue about the historical figure was involved in small minded, petty guarding of the article under cover of "avoiding controversy" - quite possibly agenda driven to keep him in the X categorisation. I note that even though the article is now massively improved it manages to totally avoid mentioning that he was Y.

If that is "working as intended" then Wikipedia is fundamentally broken and cannot be trusted for any information.
That is a good strategy. I hope the ZK VMs come to a reasonable performance before SGX goes fully away. Even though Intel won’t kill it for Xeon soon, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did in 5 years.

I wonder whether we can have our cake and eat it too; are there plans for FPGA-accelerated ZK machines?
I wadger a lot of collectibles become valuable if they can be preserved for a couple hundred years.
There should be more discussion about these forgotten forms of slave trade. People tend to think about just the transatlantic slavery when they hear the word, but reality the transatlantic slavers just scaled up and spread an existing way of doing business.

Interestingly enough, Crimea used to be a major center of slave trade all the way into 1700s. Christians were sold to Islamic world and vice versa.

Unity's latest release has native support for M1. LTS doesn't though.
But what triggers it? I believe it's the brain's last attempt to "live" by thinking what it could've done to live (more). Sort of like when poisoned, jumping off a bridge, or just realizing your life is absolute shit.

It also doubles as an escape from the current desperate situation. Ignore the pain and dream.

Memory trips happen quite often with various drugs, too. Or when you're in such extreme pain (broken limbs, etc) your body releases a lot of endorphins which feels a lot like heroin.
If you're interested in minimal usage, I'd say take it for a week, cease use until you notice something is missing, then take it for two days and repeat. When we tested this, we've found the off phase is between 0 and 14 days depending on the person. If you're thinking of going that route, please do refrigerate the product as shelf life is 4 months for fresh bottles at room temperature and 18 months in the fridge.

This IMO happens for the same reason the product works -- with your current habits and behavior, some niches in your gut aren't able to stably support life... If there aren't any missing now you shouldn't notice any effect / if you don't change your behavior after repopulation they are unlikely to survive on their own.

On the off chance you're a QS type, we are very interested in which behavioral changes change this drop off time. Any thoughts/notes/data you end up generating would be very much appreciated, especially exotic data (ie interactions with other self-experiments you run)
> there isn't much security added by encryption

Compared to just using HTTPS?

While there are ways the encryption can be removed or subverted that's a far cry from adding no benefit. Compared to just using HTTPS for client to server encryption, this protects the user from a bunch of server-based attacks. Certainly not all, but it does meaningfully raise the bar.

Keep in mind that security needs to be usable, and needs to exist in tools users actually use. If I'm a user if a web app, then browser based e2e encryption helps me. Downloading the diagram, installing PGP tools, figuring out how to use it, sending the file via a different mechanism... probably not something an average user wants to try.
As I often said--it's a good thing we don't let HN make our investment decisions.
I try to use 'primary' and 'replica'; but depending on who I'm talking to I find myself slipping back to the Master/Slave terminology.

And to the OP, replication is a complex process fraught with security risks. Take about 10 minutes thinking about just roles and authentication in the context of your proposed syntax and what you would need to set up ahead of time to make it work.

The current method of starting with a pg_basebackup on the replica is nearly as simple. Even if it does require that you do some minor configuration on the master. It's not nearly open heart surgery.
"I've found two 'eh' coffee shops, but one's always crowded and has poor ventilation, and the other one cranks up the music as if to scare people into only buying take-away, while the coffee-grinder or blender makes it impossible to get anything done on the same floor."

Well guess what Starbucks is? The combination of these two.

Well maybe only in the countries where I frequent Starbucks... ie. wherever there are no decent "indie cafes" to speak of.
The death of one exchange does not herald the death of the market. Absolute worst case, it moves off of public HTTP websites to back channels like #bitcoin-otc

I know with some radio devices (I'm specifically thinking of RTLSDR hacks) a heating element is added to maintain a constant temperature (or a TXCO -- a temperature controlled crystal oscillator).

qdiscs in linux have always seems something of an underdocumented dark art to me. I've used HTB to slow down packets that I mark with iptable rules, but that's about as fancy as I can get. Does anybody know of some nice documentation about this stuff that isn't a decade old? ;)
Osmos alone makes this a good buy.
Back when I was an intern at IBM in upstate NY, I often drove between Boston and NY late at night. There was no cars in sight in the early hours of the night for certain parts of hwy 84 and 684. No cell phones back then either.

I periodically saw people whose cars had broken down on the side of the road, and stopped each and every time to offer help. One time, I drove a woman and her young son to a nearby gas station to make phone calls. Another time, I drove another couple to a nearby town.

It turned out that for one such time, I happened to help the daughter of a researcher who also worked in the same IBM research lab I was working at. The next morning, the father looked me up and took me out to coffee to thank me. That was sweet.

Nowadays, I no longer have to drive late at night, but I still look for the opportunity to help. It has always brought me peace to know that I can get someone out of a jam when needed.
But I went even further, deleting my old email address from that list several months ago. That page only shows my (current) email, which was not on the Gawker list. LinkedIn seems to be keeping around the old email addresses, even after you delete them.
This is really amazing... however we had something like that 15 years ago called VRML, and it probably was 1000 times faster. This is an incredible abuse of css, nevertheless very cool.
I couldn't possibly let my employers knows I suffer from the black dog, even though the very worst that could possibly happen is that some software would get delivered late.

It would be seen as weakness by colleagues, upper management etc - if anything goes wrong then it would be 'Oh well he's depressed, better not give him any important work to do in case he flips out.'
