When they got rid of chokos they got rid of me.
Pretty sure they still need more help. Why don't you apply? Unless you'd only offer your services for free in order to spite striking workers asking for better working conditions? How noble of you...
I somewhat agree with you cowboy, but at the same time, it's up to us to create/continue the movement. The younger generation are (apparently) already less consumerist than those of us who grew up in the 80s & 90s. I speak to my nieces and nephews about reduced consumerism, though I can't say it is having the effect I'd have liked.

We just have to keep the mentality going and spreading. This is actually an opportunity to show them what can be done in a short period of time with the right inputs.
Most European cities are heavily dependent on tourism and tourism directly and indirectly contributes >5% of GDP of many countries[1]

A large part of the growth in tourism over the last 15 years can be attributed to cheap flights and cheap housing, via Airbnb and the likes (I.e hotels have not added the number of rooms needed to support this tourism boom).

Given the tepid economic growth in the Euro-zone over that period, I doubt they want to kill the golden goose.

>Microsoft will make tons of money without spying on users,

and they will make even more money by spying on users and selling that data. EvilCorp is not known for leaving money on the table. Google chooses to give away their products to lure people into using them. M$ has the luxury of having the users pay money for their products while also giving up the same data.
You're rewriting history in a way to paint the mainstream response to HIV in a more favorable light.

It was initially thought of as a joke, and when gay men were dying, Reagan administration officials were laughing at it.

No evidence at all yet.

#FlattenTheCurve is an acquiescence that everyone's going to get it, they just want to slow it down.

> We would need StopThatShit asap.

If that were possible at this point that would be plan of record, it's not.
Depends what level but https://www.khanacademy.org/math has stuff. Really to learn maths you have to work through problems to grasp it and get it you head. Start simple and work up.
IIRC (from taking journalism in high school), journalistic standards are:

Tell the most important info in the title as briefly as possible.

Repeat the most important info with a little more detail in the first paragraph.

Repeat your main point and add more details in additional paragraphs. You should be able to cut out the final paragraphs (or not bother to read them) without losing any actually critical information.

Each additional paragraph should add new information, but not be essential to the main point of the piece.

Answer: who, what, when, where, how and why.
'fact' generally excludes unreasonable uncertainty. Otherwise you've wandered into an area of philosophy where nothing is a fact. And that is not the general meaning of the word.

And credibility is a measure of how close their assertions are to the truth, how is that a logical error?
Plenty of people who love science also want to be able to go on holidays, buy houses and have children. They want to live the kinds of lives people of their social class do. Your proposal would turn science into a career for the kind of people who were monks or nuns in the Middle Ages. Back then that was the way to live the life of the mind and the outside alternatives were much worse. Things have changed.
Really? Wow.

I've often heard that said of C and other curly-braces languages, and of Perl, but rarely of BASIC.

Of course, a lot of it is how clearly someone wrote it in the first place. I've seen immaculate Perl, for instance. I don't know Perl and I could still read it.
In many ways, the Concorde was "dead" well before 9/11 or the Paris crash. Yes, those killed it for good, but costs, sonic booms (US landings were initially banned, then limited to JFK and Dulles), and politics killed the concept shortly after it was launched.
I wasn't asking for a random example of a system that I don't know the initial conditions of, but what specifically you meant when you tried to construct an argument for the impossibility of emulating a brain.
The URL itself provides a certain amount of location decoupling, and you can add in redirects to help with that.

Temporal coupling aspect I also find to be misleading, you can for instance use an ATOM feed (or equiv) to record events, its then up to clients to use them as appropriate.
Yes they dance pretty well. But this is like saying that a tape recorder sings very well.
Even if someone was infinitely rich it would merely cause hyperinflation. This article seems to have quite a bit of economics misunderstandings.
Sure, IP address is just one more obstacle, but one that is entirely surmountable for a determined attacker.
Probably the most affordable way to get some confidence is to connect two computers at either end of the cable and do a transfer speed test using iperf or something like that. If you are using random unmatched computers, do a "control" test with a short, high-quality patch cord between them to get a baseline performance measurement.
Sure, but at least the browser won't render the page, so it won't download the additional content like images and scripts. It's partial mitigation.
This post is from last year. I've been using these images on GCE for testing and they work well. Works particularly nicely for getting a Deis PaaS up and running quickly.
You can access those pages by removing the final slash.
I don't have just one screen name. The screen name I use here I use on the basis of "entities should not be multiplied without necessity." I was already using the screen name "tokenadult" on a site where it was mandatory to use screen names rather than real names, and where I was one of the few adults on a site where most participants are high school students. I then continued to use this screen name on another site with a similar population. On both of those sites I am a volunteer community moderator. My screen name is more jarring here, where most participants are adults, but I wanted to carry over a discernible connection with my identity on those sites. I am well above the median age of HN participants, it appears, so the screen name still makes a little bit of sense here.

On most email lists and Web sites I simply use my real name, which was the rule in several of the places where I first participated in online discussion in the early 1990s.
Not a problem for Jobs...

Just as he is about the end of the Internet, he's about the end of free...
To a mathematician, some things are far more important than mere money. Accepting tribute money from an organisation you believed to be fundamentally corrupt would be to become one of the very people you despise.
I prefer to pay recurring payments because it's incentive for the developers to continue working on the project.

You could look into using quarterly or half yearly payments potentially, similar to how Pandora does it, charging for the whole in one fell swoop.
Wow no senses of humor today.
The background with shortcuts on that link was pretty cool: http://i.imgur.com/cbjs0.png
Thanks -- appreciate the reply.

As a future product option I'd love to be able to treat these as standalone terminals, so we can offer a web based POS app (running on a different device) and the phone as a payment terminal without having to deploy our own mobile app.
I'm curious what you don't like about it. I work with a team of people who love it.
Let me rephrase the question then: what financial incentive would a gaming company have to remove power creep, when they make money off of selling new, more powerful items?

Sounds like you’re depending on some form of loyalty from the gaming company, which I think is naive.
What's wrong with configurable? Too much opportunity to bikeshed?

I figured yapf was not "new" which is why black won.

Starting about 5-6 years ago there was a push in the Python community to replace solved problems with new ones in what appears to me as chasing the JavaScript community.

Instead of consolidating on existing tools that worked well but had some rough edges to smooth out, numerous projects came about to reinvent the wheel.
I'm running an exit for $5/month on DigitalOcean that blows through its 1TB of transfer in ~3 days. I've received one complaint about it (due to someone emailing their abuse address) and their support gave me no trouble when I explained what was happening.
My bad. Edited post.

Still a panderer, like most of his ilk.

Isn't it better to use something invalid (like 0.0.0.0) instead of 127.0.0.1? If you have a development server on your machine, rerouting ads to 127.0.0.1 means lots of useless requests...
After reading his latest post on his blog, it seems he has lost quite a bit of the fire he had when writing this 'e-book': http://charliehoehn.com/2010/08/18/the-5-month-break-comes-t...
"Plant based whole foods" is the way.
The UK is an interesting case, we have never revolted either. We're definitely worse off for it. Longest working hours in europe.

EDIT: As pointed out we do not have the longest working hours in europe, but we do in "western" europe.

And I was too hasty to describe the UK has having never had a revolution, I should perhaps constrain it to "the English."
care to share why?
It annoyed me for a while. People didn't kill themselves and bomb for an ideology; they do so to realize a political goal. Sometimes, the religion pursuit serves as a very good medium to convince people into such extreme action, nevertheless, it is not meaningless. In your post, you imply that such suicide attack would invoke in the process of reunification but IMHO, it is very unlikely. Most of suicide bombers hold a religion belief and a very strong desire to realize or just spell out a particular political pursuit. Someone would argue that the Communism ideology is a religion, but you should look at Russia, at East Europe, even if it is a religion, it must be a very unpersuasive one. There must be a loads of troubles when you try to reunite two countries, but I guess that would be much more peaceful process than the Iraq or Afghanistan.
Yes. I threw a 20MB e-book PDF into my Dropbox and it was instantly marked as uploaded. The only exploit would be that you could determine if a specific file was uploaded, not how many people had copies of the file or who those people were.
Reading this only makes me wonder one thing; Do you really think it would have been anything different had there been violence in you revolution ?
Do you think anyone different would be running the country now ?
Do you think years of violence, revenge and deeply nested hatred would make things better ?

You can probably tell, but I think not.
Violence thrown into the fray only makes matters worse. IMHO
Not working for me. The whole page loads except for the bit inside the cursor placeholder. I'm behind a firewall in an office, but I don't know if that's the problem.

Though open source software in China is always considered as having the most permissive license possible. GPL and such have no substance here.
I feel like Crawford either entirely missed the games Japan released from the late 1980’s - early 2K (Square, Kojimi, etc) or he’s confused in that he doesn’t want to make games (and thus barking up the wrong tree all these years) but rather a new medium that he hasn’t been able to articulate to the world or even himself.
> I prefer using the word 'control' over fault, because fault has so many negative connotations.

Excellent point. I completely agree. I'll have to keep that in mind in the future.
This is not always possible, however. How should the hacker have proceeded in this case?
I moved schools several times growing up. Some of them were wonderful. Others were terrible. It mostly came down to the relationship between the teachers and the students (or, dare I say, between the teachers and their inner demons?).
That makes no sense. Please try to rephrase.
Then my kid is also atypical
> What do we do with all these smart people?

Every community (families, neighbors, fandoms, friends, online chatrooms, religious groups, video game guilds...) has needs. What if smart people helped attend to the needs of the communities they're a part of rather than trying to solve the entire world's problems in a uniform way?
If you get to choose between 8 hours of homework and 8 hours of school then I'm pretty sure most kids would pick school.
Does he not remember that being all day with your parents sucked?

This is an assisine statement. As though school exactly as it is now is the only way to do things (parenting too for that matter).
In my understanding, the fact that growth/expensive stocks rise has only an indirect influence on value/cheap stocks being worse investments. Nowadays, anyone can easily access and scan in aggregate financials and financial indicators. In the middle of the 20th century, you had to do it on paper with each stock. It was a bigger edge. So it was easier to notice something that others didn't.

Still (again, in my understanding) there's some sense in assuming that lots of cash and low debt in the company (compared to the ticker price) at least limit your downside a little, when the price is at the rock bottom. Doesn't mean there's a potential for profit, because stock prices are irrational.
To be fair to Debian, that's how it's supposed to work. You untar into /opt, self contained, while your apt install puts things in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, which means config goes into /etc.

You'll find most distros follow some FHS standard, although there's some differences in interpretation.
20 years later, it is definitely true that worse is better. But it will take another 20 years until this reach management.
I think that was probably the smart decision. Learning on your own and then paying an accountant to review your conclusions is very cost effective and it'll definitely pay-off in the long term. If you ever have a question, feel free to shoot me an email. =)
True, but a lot of chemistry is mostly math too, and I flunked organic chemistry the first time. I think its because there is some domain knowledge involved in these subjects, which you have to actually care about. I don't particularly care which element has how many isotopes and what the valency is and how many other elements it can bond with, though I did memorize the atomic weights of all the elements in the periodic table and Avogardo number and few such stats. Those things helped a little, because I was ultimately able to pass my chemistry exams just by solving the numerical stuff and ignoring the chemical stuff. I handled physics in same fashion . There's something called the distance equation, where you can express the distance travelled by particle in terms of velocity and acceleration. We had to simply memorize that and use it in problems. I forgot what it was in the exam. So I just derived it from definitions. The teacher was quite surprised, because at that stage we hadn't been taught calculus, so how did I derive it ? Well, I had solved calculus problems by myself, so I just did this - http://pastebin.com/T6PrePh8

These things helped me get by.
I agree with this completely. I think the point of all interviews should be to start a conversation - and the sort of broad technical conversation this question inspires is a really good way to see both what candidates know and how they communicate it.

I've had candidates fail to explain the distinction between the client and the server. I had one candidate exclaim "I hoped you'd ask this" and jump straight into a discussion on the parsing of cache-control headers by proxy servers.
European companies are already pushed / punished when they don't follow USA rules while doing business in the USA. Just take Volkswagen, Deutsche Bank and Bayer / Monsanto as examples of multi-billion fines. There were many companies that abandoned USA marked completely because it was not worth to them to do business there any more.
So, Meta did say this after all you say? Even tho not read as a threat from SEC fillings, why would they even say that if they don't think about it?
Firefox uses Google's "Safe Browsing" list for these warnings. As someone with a website I can tell you that Google gives exactly zero shits about removing false positives from that list and keeping them off. With the rise of barely verified machine learning algorithms used to feed the list you can expect this to become a more common occurence for independent sites. My personal suggesion is to disable the feature in your browser instead of letting a private corporation with no transparency or accountability gatekeep what you should consider safe.
Considering that some cars can change how much the wheels turn based on the speed you're driving, we know it must have been approved for road use.
I'd rather not see European governments pour tax payer money down the drain.

Perhaps use the funds to lower taxes and improve the regulatory environment to at least stop hindering the growth of the economy instead?
lol. Sorry, spelling has never been my strong point :)
My understanding is that this is far more than just a sales tax: it is a 1% tax on ALL financial transactions. Other proposed sales taxes to replace the income tax, such as the fair tax, generally only apply to retail sales of new consumer goods. This would go way beyond that.

Write a check to your nephew for his birthday? 1% tax.

Buy something used on eBay and pay for it on paypal? 1% tax.

Support a project on Kickstarter? 1% tax.

Get paid by your employer? They pay a 1% tax.

Sell some shares of stock A in order to buy stock B? 1% tax on the sale and another 1% tax on the purchase. This one is HUGE: consider how many such transactions occur on Wall Street each day. Such a tax alone could quite likely destroy the high-speed trading industry. I'll let smarter people decide whether that's good or bad.

Also consider that all of these cascade. For example: you buy a table and pay a 1% transaction fee. The store paid a 1% transaction fee when they bought the table from the manufacturer, a 1% transaction fee on the shippers who brought it to the store, and a 1% transaction fee on their rent, utilities, and other overhead. The manufacturer paid a 1% transaction fee on their raw materials, 1% to have those materials shipped, etc. I would imagine that this would strongly encourage vertical consolidation in order to avoid these intermediate transaction fees. Again, I'll let the economists figure out how good/bad that is.
Android is facing the same problem. Even on the Web, we have to deal with differences in each browser.

However, I'd argue that fragmentation within a platform (like Android or Windows) is less of an issue for developers than having to deal with 3 or 4 vastly different platforms.
Meta HN: Why can't HN allow us to create text anchors, like the rest of the web, reddit, etc. These in-line URLs are getting old, at least to my eyes. HN readers know how to create anchors; this isn't Facebook.
does anybody know GPU instances can be of any aid for building full text indices (inverted lists) or other non-floating point workfloads ? I was skimming through the title of a recent paper presenting an sorting algorithm exploiting GPUs, but still I'm in the mental model of treating GPU workloads as having to do with floating point operations.
Same in Canada... you can even rent "some" french movies from the canadian store, from a insultingly small selection tough.
Yeah, in general. Twitter has had XSS flaws that hit people using web browsers but I've not heared of any Twitter app exploits. I'd trust Thunderbird+IMAP more than Firefox+GMail without a doubt. I don't read my RSS feeds in a browser either, they get pulled down and converted to emails and are read in Thunderbird.
That reminded me of a recent Paul Graham tweet:

You've found market price when buyers complain but still pay.

http://twitter.com/#!/paulg/status/22576762202
I, and I think most people, factor the time it takes to check out into the price I'm willing to pay for goods. This is supported by the fact that grocery store managers will often stop whatever they are doing to open new checkout lines whenever they are getting full.
never reuse an IV with the same key

Exactly, the key is always different.
A dictator has the reverse mechanism. He must spend all his effort and distribute resources to stay in power which means not benefiting the people. If he did not then he would not be the one to rise to or stay dictator.

A democratic leader must please the public which could mean lying to them or being a moron __but__ will also mean working to help them (the more educated the public, the less the lies work) So your chances are always better with democracy.
Public schools are generally pretty terrible at socialization. The students interact mostly only with kids of their same exact age. Bullying and violence are ubiquitous. Sure, you learn how to conduct yourself in that particular environment, but it's unlike any other environment you'll see in your adult life outside of a prison.
That's actually awesome. Didn't know about this feature but I'll take a look for sure.
Thanks for the correction. You're right that quarantine does not require knowing whether people are actually infected. However, it's still about isolating specific people or things to protect the rest of the population and not about asking the whole population to change its behavior.
No, it doesn't need to be random if the key is used only once.

Because we're all about to be broke and there won't be any free cash to "go on vacation."
If businesses go insolvent, what happens to _all_ of their employees? The Federal Reserve's job is to a) minimize unemployment and b) target inflation. From what I can tell, they are doing everything in their power to accomplish those goals.

I agree that more needs to be done directly for folks who have already lost their jobs or will soon, but that type of stimulus would require an act of Congress, who apparently can't get their collective heads out of their own asses at the moment.
I rarely sleep longer than that, but it's not a training, simply comes with the age (I'm 40). Real question is how long would you sleep now if you could sleep as much as you want? If every now and then you need to get a day of sleeping longer to re-energize, or you regularly have periods in night when you just can't keep your eyes open for a second longer, that probably means that you are not sleeping enough. On the other hand if you function like this in a stable manner, without sleeping "crisis", it's quite possible that you just don't need more than those 6-7h.
Numba + Blaze boosts numerical python to speeds on par with or greater than julia, with additional out of core, delayed expression and multiple backend capabilities that Julia currently does not have.

This might stem the tide for a while... Then we have pyston which maintains C api compatibility.
