It’s pretty much an ad for the book.

This post can pretty much be boiled down to “Open Whisper Systems received 3 million in funding from Radio Free Asia, therefore its a government op.”

The argument is standing upon legs composed of two individual twigs, shaky and weak would be an understatement.
I want to like Telegram, I really do. But even with the "privacy" settings as strict as possible, I get unsolicited messages from random strangers at all hours of the day with no ability to mute them. I get 2-3 of these messages per day on both of my Telegram accounts. I don't know how anyone can consider Telegram private or trustworthy.
Yeah, I'm not sure there would be too many good camera angles for climbing or the pole vault!
Only because the internet doesn't transfer olfactory information.
But most merchants didn't operate in separate legal entitities. There were very few companies, for the longest time just major trade, railroad and banking. Dutch East India is so famous because they're an exception, not the norm.
ah no Amd power numbers are usually on the money
This may be a minor distinction but it is easier to publish but harder to get reach when disconnected. This is important in a "allowed to try" way.

Generally for books and music the answer for "should I sell on Amazon, Apple, Barnes and Noble, Soundcloud, or my own website" is "yes".

In addition to convenience people are understandably leery about where they put their credit card info and the financial infastructure hasn't generally caught up although there are a few "one-off" credit card number generators.
Creepyface exists because I created it for my online CV. I've also seen similar patterns applied in some sites presenting the members of a team.

Do you have any ideas on how to improve the tagline?
>I remember London black cabs as mainly being a reliable service with reliable drivers >The cliche of not going south of the river held up to some scrutiny too. >At least it was a two way conversation with a cabbie.

It seems that you rode a black cab very occasionally, if you never experienced a cabbie getting lost. Much has been made of the knowledge, which was dense where the routes being traversed were frequent but it was already deteriorating by the time Uber arrived. I have had the misfortune of having to rely on black cabs, on some of my past gigs, on a daily basis and spent a small fortune/part of my life on these rides, especially when they were the only choice in a rush. I can assure you that the cliché of not going south of the river was 100% true, amongst many others, although it doesn't matter so much anymore. As for romanticising the 'two-way conversation' ─ it was not a dialogue but usually an unsolicited diatribe of regurgitated opinions, gathered from the daily rags and caustic radio chat shows ─ which you were bullied into agreeing with, just to journey in some relative peace and quiet. I will take an Uber et al. every single time, for the very reasons you mentioned.
The thing is even if SpaceX gets actually cost down to ridiculously low prices it's still going to be extremely expensive and very very hard. We have practically speaking no experience manufacturing in space, the only thing that's been made have been small test quantities of ZBLAN fiber and until we get asteroid mining and refining setup the extra cost of lifting all the raw materials is going to make manufacturing in space only viable for a few small things with high margins of return.
That is goes against the traditional story is part of the point. Traditional stories are often wrong, even if they go against even older, wronger traditional stories.

I can't find the original articles I got this from, but googling a bit got me this very easy to read summary of events[0], albeit in very popular and informal language. But it corresponds with what I read elsewhere, and even goes into a bit more detail in a few places.

(Potential downside of this article in the eyes of some is that it was written by a Christian, who could be believed to have an agenda to defend the church. The previous articles I read were written by an atheist. I'll see if I can find them.)

(edit:)
The author of the original articles has a pretty thorough and well-sourced answer on Quora[1].

I did find another good write-up[2].

Despite the fact that this is not only happen in Apple specific case as the title suggest and probably, a quite generalization of what Apple do to the company it bought, the article raises a good point to carefully decide what technology solution you use for your company.

We have to expect that any product that we used might come to an end someday, and need to make sure that we at least have an escape plan for that.
I think they will go after key figures - that would be my take and rightfully so.
It's wild. So much activity. People posting news as it comes in. The known conservative employees haven't said a word. The progressives are being very vocal. No debates are happening.
The curse of politics is that as soon as any place for discussing it gets a reputation as being trustworthy, it becomes a valuable target to take over, sabotage or smear.
It's a mouse and cat game. As of now, there are no KYC rules for decentralized exchanges, and thus they are under the radar of the law. It'll take a couple of years before the SEC/FTC catches up with them, by that time they would have already found another loop hole.
All but Kozlowski are on Portfolio's list (see Jun8's comment above).

Sorry, but you're horrifyingly correct.
Yes. Support them as best you can. This will get you better known and will only help you in the end.
I'll be voted down for this on HN, but unforunately Android is reversing a lot of this progress. Buy the average Android handset and it has all sorts of stupid carrier modifications that no end-user would ever have requested. It's like the crap-ware that PCs have installed with them straight from the factory, except that you have to do a lot more work to get rid of it.

The iPhone is free of this because Apple's success let them give AT&T the finger when it came to carrier modifications. As the iPhone loses ground to Android in the market, expect the pressure on Apple to mount. Would Apple ever have an AT&T splash screen on the iPhone? They sure wouldn't want to, but if that's the only way to keep the iPhone on the market, it'll happen. Who knows how much further it'll go...
On the other hand, technology has significantly reduced the cost of tax avoidance for high net worth individuals compared to what it was during the Clinton era.
I think the difference today is that everyone is using fiat currency, and the markets for commodities potentially useful as a medium of exchange (gold, oil, etc) are too volatile.

We've already been living with slow inflationary growth, despite the nonsense spewed by the government. In 1985, a single wage-earner could support a middle-class family. In 2005, two parents need to work, mostly to pay a mortgage and pay a few minimum wage earning daycare workers.
I was a really early Twilio adopter, and was having issues with it (since it wasn't nearly as good as it is now). I emailed her a support question, and she asked me what I was doing:

"I'd be interested to talk with your more about what you're looking to do with sendDigits/DTMF tones on incoming calls, this might be something we should consider adding in the future."

So, I outlined my entire system to her. I have no problem with someone using my idea- however, she was answering a private support issue that I (a paying customer) had, and I was helping her by providing her with more information about what I was doing with her system.

Then, she posted it on her blog without crediting me. Implementing the idea isn't bad; posting a private support thread as your own idea on your own blog, however, is.
If I remember rightly, issue this type of command at the private computer.

ssh -R 1234:privatecomputer:22 user@publicserver

So it's: secureshell, reversed, publicport to privatemachine:port, authentication+address for public machine.

Then traffic to publicserver:1234 should appear at privatecomputer:22

Perhaps there should be a nicer syntax like "ssh admin@publicserver.com:1234 => localhost:50"
Hey thanks! It is definitely inspired by that previous project of mine, but hopefully the image quality will be better this time around :p
If you think you don't need all the checks Sonatype performs for you even after this week's security exploit came up on npm and other less secure repos, you can use this for JVM libs:

https://jitpack.io/

EDIT: notice that I am not criticizing jitpack, it's great to be able to point at a git repository and get its jar as a simple dependency... but it's not as secure as Maven Central IMO because it requires you to fully trust `jitpack.io` to not insert malicious code in the jars it serves, as well as the GitHub/BitBucket/GitLab account owner to not have been hacked or "become" malicious... still much better than npm's ridiculous resolution that will just trust anything at all.
I'vs been obsessively checking too, but for React Relay :(
Extremely relatable. I call it "paralysis by fear". Minimizing FUD (fears, uncertainty, doubts) is certainly a good way to get productive.

Still learning how to do that effectively, though. In work context, talking to people and bringing every one on same page seems to help. Approaching the task a complete novice is an interesting way to look at it.

It really depends on your threat model, but if you have a full tunnel VPN, then encrypted DNS is a lot less important.
Response from my friend:

Novel thought...

Theoretically, yes. The Environmental Control Systems on all our commercial airplanes positively charge the airflow at a nominal Delta P of 9.8 psi and have HEPA filtration down to 10µm, but at $100M+ per 737 MAX, delivery customers highly frowning upon such a practice and not being able to deliver them as a "New" airplanes after contamination, highly unlikely.

The A380 fleet is starting to retire prematurely only after 10 short years of service due to lack of profitability and demand due to COVID-19. Those huge retired Behemoths could serve very well as a quarantine base in remote locations.

THAT! As a “filthy casual”, I have other things to do in life , some of which earn money to buy these games.

I appreciate it when games let you skip things you aren’t enjoying (duh!!!). It allows the game designers the freedom to throw in all kinds of crazy things, without worrying about losing the audience.

Not everybody is a completionist.
I don't, but have a few herbs growing I kicked off 2 months ago indoors on the window ledge. Oh and some spring onions, brought a bunch months ago, used for crispy aromatic duck, popped the ends into water and regrown a few times, reminds me I need to pot that now.

Also planted out some sunflowers in the area I'd grown indoors, brighten up the neighbourhood and birds love them. Also some wildflowers I'll be starting soon, ninja out and about in a months time or so as well as some vegetables I don't have space to grow in my flat, but hey, planning ahead and may work out well for the greater good and good spirits are just as important than your 5 a day.

It's removed for users in China (1) Nota bene: Zoom in China has now been somewhat separated from global Zoom (2), and is now hosted in China. Haven't been on a call with anyone over Zoom in China for a while. I don't think that people in China using Zoom are always able to join Zoom calls elsewhere. Will be verifying this shortly. For me, the only thing that always works to China is Wechat (Weixin) (I'm careful as to what I say on it).

By maturity, in this case, I mean to really understand the thread, act upon it and have the society backing up measures taken, even if they personally affect you.
In Mediterranean countries this usually doesn't happen.
I think implying that someone is a "psychopathic misogynist" just from a single comment is a bit harsh.
Minor nitpick: big 3 strategy consultants (MBB: McKinsey Boston Bain), big 4 auditors (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG). Big 4 also does strategy consulting but they are not the prototypical executive immunity sellers. Big 4 typically has more down to earth / implementation experience due to commanding lower prices and thus ability to stick for longer in a sustainable way (what you complain about).

Disclaimer: I have worked a lot on at least one of those 7.
I don't think you are trespassing anybody's property by accessing a publicly available website.

It's more analogous to having something on your property you want everybody walking by the street to see. Then you put a tarp to block your annoying neighbor from viewing it but anyone else is still welcome to it.

Would the neighbor be trespassing every time he walks by the street and looks at it?
Yeah it's a clever technique - knocking out the gene for one protein and then producing that protein elsewhere.
"Go as a language is very opinionated... Go engineers are an anti-magic crowd."

Great so far. But why does this always end up as....

I don't see any reminders in Las Vegas or casino advertisements that all the games are negative-expectation, and repeated play can result in the loss of any amount of money.

In fact there's no paperwork or legal counsel required to play at all!

Can equity crowdfunding be placed under this same "highly regulated" regime that Vegas is under, so that anyone can walk up and participate at any time?
Given that the DDoS wasn't targeted at "https://github.com/"
but rather "https://github.com/greatfire/" and "https://github.com/cn-nytimes/", two projects that can reasonably be described as not being pro Chinese government, it seems that github was targeted for hosting anti-Chinese 'propaganda'.
Baidu's javascript cdn is being Hack by national firewall, inject these JS attack script. If other webseit include some javascript library from Baidu's javascript CDN will automatically run JS script that will DDOS attack Github. The attack JS script is here:

Github notice that, it replace that DDOS http request respond with a alert("WARNING: malicious javascript detected on this domain").
That is why some Chinese guy gets a weird pop-up with English text when visiting Chinese websites.
I would disagree with it being a successor to Python likewise I disagree that it is close to C++. It is more like Java 1.0. A simple, fast and approachable platform for building smaller server side systems apps.

I just can't imagine anyone writing larger, monolithic apps with it. Whilst people have been doing it with C++ for decades. Then again Go is in its infancy so will be interesting to see which direction it does take.
Yes, that's was with current standards though. And current standards are: Nintendo showed the way, Microsoft and Sony followed.

What if Nintendo shows another way and proves successful again? Nintendo is most probably releasing the new console in Christmas next year. Can the other companies let it alone in the market for a whole two years? (Provided its a good system, of course, in which case Kinect and Move won't be much of a competition)
Don't forget binary size. Often I find calling printf() links in a bunch of gunk- I'm not quite sure why- exploding binary size 10-20kB.

This is, of course, mostly a problem on microcontrollers rather than PC's.
I'm not sure what the dependency caching issue has to do with bottling?

The latter use-case I don't have any particular interest in writing code for myself but I'd consider merging PRs for. The prior is possible with brew-test-bot if you do the uploading yourself (although I may be adding S3 support in the coming months). Using Jenkins should make all of this pretty trivial as-is.
I don't see the appeal behind this.

The reason why there was a need for off-site image hosting is because people and websites like reddit didn't want to pay for the bandwidth or be forced to deal with takedown requests.

A decade ago, bandwidth was much more expensive, and it was only because it got much cheaper that imgur's business model of allowing free direct linking is even possible now.

If I want to share an address with someone, there's nothing wrong with a google maps link. There are hundreds of websites out there that allow you to host text or blog.
Hmmh, I remember reading a study (or studies) that showed wealthy people are generally more honest, the larger point being that you are unlikely to thrive if you are not virtuous or lack high character.

That said, I'll quote from "As a man thinketh" by James Allen where he says some thing along the line of: When people look at successful people who are cheats and unsuccessful ones who are honest, they forget to analyze all their other traits. The successful cheat may have serious talents, work ethic etc that make him successful despite his dishonesty and the unsuccessful saint may be lazy, unambitious or have other faults that make him unsuccessful.
Sorry, I don't buy the argument that "code is terrible to read and hence maintain" from a GLibC developer. CRLibM does have a bunch or tricky macros to work-around bugs in decade-old compilers for architectures no one cares about, but GNU LibC is not any better in this aspect.

CRLibM does not have a provably correctly-rounded pow, but univariate functions can be merged.

The paper you cited is about decimal floating-point implementation, it is not relevant to the LibM functions discussed in the article.

I have a utility for benchmarking LibM libraries here: https://bitbucket.org/MDukhan/hysteria

Some benchmarks including CRLibM and GNU LibM are here:

At home I use a BBC Micro, Atari ST, Minix, DragonFly (which is written by a former Amiga guy). There is no pleasure to be had in modern mainstream OSs anymore. Love to work or work to live?
The subs have a lot of control over what is presented. I think they often look worse, but that is all a design choice.
It depends on the user, really. A lot of the reason why it took so long (and indeed, is still taking so long) for Windows XP to go away is because it's what people are used to; people don't like change, especially if they don't think it's for the better. This is especially common among the elderly (where there's less receptiveness to learn new approaches when the old approaches work fine) and in low-income households (where there's less time/energy available to learn new approaches when the old approaches work fine). I've found Windows XP -> openSUSE w/ Xfce to be a relatively-suitable migration path for most users, mostly because of their relative similarities (a clear "Start menu" equivalent (that can even be easily renamed to "Start"), the "Mozillascape Firegator" already being installed and ready-to-go, a somewhat-decent office program that looks similar to Office 2003 already being installed and ready-to-go, etc.).

It's also the same reason why Debian and RHEL/CentOS and SUSE are more likely to be found in big enterprises (and/or government/military agencies) than Ubuntu or Fedora or openSUSE or Arch or whatever. Those sorts of users need things to stay consistent. NASA would rather install Debian Stable on the International Space Station and stick with that release (along with perhaps security patches and bugfixes) for half a decade or more than go with Ubuntu and have to biannually retrain its astronauts with every LTS release (and deal with installing the new release on computers that are perpetually falling around Earth at high speeds in the first place). Granted, that's a bit of an exaggeration (Unity isn't that volatile), but I'm willing to bet it factored into NASA's decision to use Debian rather heavily (for example).

I definitely second the preference for rolling releases, however, though not nearly at the pace of, say, Arch or Debian Sid. I run Slackware-current on a couple of my desktops, and I'll probably end up switching to the Tumbleweed repos on my openSUSE-running laptop very soon. Having to deal with two different levels of upgrades is annoying, but so is things spontaneously breaking because changes weren't adequately tested; openSUSE Tumbleweed and (interestingly, thanks to Slackware's conservatism when it comes to software versions) Slackware-current seem to be good balances between those two extremes.
IMHO, one of the employers responsibility is to pay their staff. I don't think that's really arbitrary, it's commonly accepted across the world.

If you're in the service industry, it's your job to be nice. That's what their employer (hopefully) pays them for.

If I have a good or bad experience, I exercise my discretion by choosing whether to go there again. If the employer notices a trend downwards in customers, it's their responsibility to assess what that is - hopefully their in touch enough with their business to identify if it's because of their employees service and 'apply pressure' if need be.

I guess ultimately it comes down to culture. I (and the large majority of the non-US world) isn't accustom to paying 10%+ extra for bad and rude service and it would be very hard for us to understand why that happens.
Or don't do it in the first place, because it's obviously wrong...
See my reply to marcosdumay. It's just altering an atomic variable. It doesn't need to look so cryptic.
Selinux, apparmor, tomoyo, rbac already do this. They will need some configuration though if you want to use them with binaries in your home directory.
> I'm not sure if there are CS programs out that start with a small project and then force the students to make massive changes to that project throughout the course of the year

I studied Software Engineering at Swinburne University in Melbourne Australia, and we did exactly that.

One subject was "Software Maintenance Project" where we took an existing code-base we didn't write (a front-end for laTex for our year, the CVS code base for the next year students) and continually made changes to it. Halfway through the course we had to deal with changing requirements. We were graded on the quality of our code and how well it fit the existing style etc., not how fast we did it.

We also did a full-year final year project with 16 of us where we created a BIG code base from scratch. We decided to use an iterative approach (our choice) and so over the year we ran 6 iterations continually building on what we'd already done.

We also did awesome courses like "Personal Software Process" to teach us discipline in how we personally approach writing code.

EDIT: Sometimes I post to HN "hire/resume" threads about my hire-ability and how I personally think I'm "better" than the average person who studied CS because of things like the above. Normally everyone disagrees and says as long as I can code, it doesn't matter that I studied Software Engineering and am a certified Engineer. It's for reasons like the above I still personally feel I'm stronger than the average CS grad.
