I'm too lazy to read the article (hey at least I'm honest), but I think you can have a working science/news with plagiarism.

In our western culture everything is egocentric. You work hard to be remembered for milenia for wonderful things that you've done. We try to mention who first observed or invented something (even though it often happens in multiple places at once and only the most popular and best marketed person gets the mention), but those people rarely care. Mostly because they are dead, but also PG's latest essay[1].

You can have equally valid, working and moral system where it's rewarding enough when your pattern is getting spread rather than anybody caring that it was made by you. It seems to even be going in that direction with the youngest generation, memes and stuff.

And reputation still works. You assign weight to given entity based on previous information that it provided. Whether it was "invented" or merely repeated doesn't matter.

Maybe we shouldn't protect people from themselves, but we should definitely protect people from the consequences it others disastrous mistakes. I don't need my idiot neighbors playing with fireworks.
Keeping a web application running for 10 years is amazing. How many people here can say they have done that? There's still things to do even if you add 0 new features: there's security updates, supporting new browsers (IE7 was the latest browser in early 2009), upgrading the server and package dependencies that are out of date, renewing the domain name, fixing various disk/memory errors that pop up, and even setting up a downtime notifier.

Mobile apps basically expire in 2-4 years due to new permission models or the everchanging APIs. Web applications keep changing until one day they are bought by another company and either disappear or get redesigned into something unrecognizable. Out of the ones I use, only Craigslist and Reddit have remained relatively unchanged for a long period of time.

I find that even maintaining a website with no backend is time consuming. The links start to rot, you forget how your pages link to each other, new device form factors emerge, the images/js/stylesheets that were hotlinked start to break, and some company you rely on goes out of business or needs to "verify your login" with some forgotten information (a company like your registrar, ssl provider, web host, credit card processor).

I'm starting to think that for a solo maintainer, the less tooling you use the better. For my own pages, now I try to stick with a single index.html page, simple non-minimized html/css and maybe a bit of js but avoid jquery/bootstrap/googleanalytics. I would love to see more web pages optimized for long-term maintainability than aesthetics or fitting some web programming paradigm/toolchain.
SBF was Biden’s second largest campaign donor and his mysterious business partner Gary Wang has suspected ties to the CCP. The DOJ will certainly not be looking into SBF.

And I know you won’t believe it, so go listen to Marc Cohodes on the Hidden Forces podcast.
It's interesting how a term like "hacker" can both be considered too exclusionary and too inclusionary, depending on who you ask and what their expectations are.
Yeah, that was my issue with OneNote as well.

With fedwiki, I have a bunch of 'Table of Contents' pages grouped around themes, Project 1, Project 2, etc, and some pages then link to other pages, like a normal wiki.

Currently fedwiki just does searching based on page titles, I'm (slowly) working on an elastic search backend for it to get full-text search.

The idea of tying the account of Matthew to an actual astronomical event is a perennial. I remember as a kid the local planetarium running a Christmas show of what the skies would look like for the closest remarkable events.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_Bethlehem#Astronomical_... has more on the idea.
(/ 1 ½) == 2, and (/ 1 ⅛) == 8, so you're just mapping n onto 2^n. How is that supposed to change anything? You still have a total order and no upper or lower bound, which is all that matters.
Yes, it's an open-source project from my research group at Cornell.
The real protip here is to know a board member with enough pull so somehow a clear cut contract can be magically renegotiated. The price is just a matter of chit-chat afterwards.
That's pretty damn chill. Though it's shame that the dude that made it wasn't happy with the result. I watched a portion of the video and cracked a smile when I saw him pick up that armor.
• Currently you can use lossy PNG: http://pngmini.com/lossypng.html

• There's a draft for gracefully-degrading JPEG eXTensions that add all the features you want http://www.jpeg.org/jpegxt/index.html (by encoding classic JPEG + residual image hidden in JPEG metadata).

WebP is a bit of a hack: it has JPEG-like algorithm for photos (VP8) and a custom PNG-like algorithm for lossless. Technically it's not much different than having JPEG and PNG and using same filename extension for both.

JPEG 2000 and JPEG XR have truly scalable algorithm that can support lossy and lossless.
OpenWISP has been mentioned elsewhere on this page.
I opened the .tap here in a text editor yesterday, it mentions executing a license and returning it to Berkeley:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsd42/files/Install%20tapes/...

(I wasn't super careful to determine that the language there applied to the whole distribution, but it seems fairly likely)

The argument I was trying to make would have survived a 4 clause BSD license in 1980; I wasn't saying that BSD and derivatives as they exist owe nothing to GNU, I (thought I) was pointing out that people were sharing a sophisticated base system under a liberal license prior to GNU. Starting from there and proceeding without GNU it's of course hard to say where things would have ended up, would they have further liberalized the license, would they have filled in the rest of the system, who knows? They certainly might have.

I do think there are economic forces that encourage some sort of open model for software that is necessary and reasonable well understood/explored, but it's hard to examine a notion like that without a history machine.
The law isn't against blasphemy, it's against offending religious sentiments and is deliberately vague. You'd have to prove that the group claiming to be offended is not offended.

Stupid, but India has a long history of religious violence, so perhaps its a case of pragmatism over principle as a justification.
Currently I have a 2013 Macbook Air, which I'm happy with everything about except for a) the keyboard, which I find too shallow and harsh for extended typing, and b) Office for Mac, which is a terrible substitute for the real thing. I'd be interested in getting this or the new Thinkpad Yoga, does anyone know how the keyboards compare? Obviously with the new models the keyboards may be improved compared to last gen but how good can a keyboard on an ultra-thin like the X1 be?

It’s amazing how fast it is. Unfortunately it is not fully compatible and missing many features.
Only if you are dollar cost averaging over long periods of time. People use market timing as a strawman.

IMO, you invest strategically. Build cash positions over time as you ride the business cycle. Don't get greedy -- pigs get slaughtered, if you're investing in high-flying times, you should take profits and have some cash. I was just getting started in the 90s, and rode stocks like Amazon and Red Hat up to stratospheric heights. But when like 90% of Amazon's value vaporized, I had cashed out enough of my position that I was able to hold on and invest in other areas.

The same strategy served me well in 2008. I was able to get onboard high-quality investments at ridiculously cheap prices, which would not have happened if I was 100% invested.

The cost of this type of strategy is that you lose compounding. From my POV, I value having access to liquidity and the abilty to take advantage of market opportunities.
Yes, that's an unfair practice. Ans they disable Google cache at the same time. Why do I see it in the results when I can't read it without making an account, or worse paying some subscription. It should be hidden then.
I remember my math teacher used to come around and take everyone’s batteries out at the start of an exam to clear the RAM. Little did she know you can just save the notes in ROM that persists power cutoff.

Self described conservative nationalist.
A couple items to note here:

- while agreed that a trap should help contain gasses, in order to cure the resin involved they have to inject high-pressure steam into the piping... possible that it could cause bubbles to pass through functional traps

- even if the trap system worked perfectly, the fumes from the cure process get vented to the local atmosphere through outlets set up during the CIPP process. This exposes workers to the largest amount of byproduct chemical vapors, but it's entirely reasonable to think that it could get accumulated or trapped in buildings as well.

The CDC has a good article about this very topic:

I switched from emacs to Pycharm for python development, out of frustration with what most packaged tools was getting me, relative to what PyCharm did with no effort and little frustration at all. Too many half-maintained packages, put together, fighting incompatibilities.

However, LSP really may change that.
I was curious how much of the $1.1M was just inflation, since $184k is a total of amounts invested over fifty years. I get $322k in 2019 dollars.
Which any soon to be property owner would know before buying a place. If the rules were a surprise to Mr Khosla he should be suing his realtor and not the state.
Check out http://bazel.io/docs/build-encyclopedia.html#maven_jar. In the root of your build, specify the jars you want from maven and then add them as dependencies in your BUILD files. The first time you run "bazel build", they'll be downloaded and cached from then on. It's somewhat limited in functionality at the moment, but should work for basic "download and depend on a jar".

For multiple Github repos, use http://bazel.io/docs/build-encyclopedia.html#http_archive or http://bazel.io/docs/build-encyclopedia.html#new_http_archiv... (depending on if it's a Bazel repository or not). Let us know if you have any questions or issues!

Haven't we just been reading about cancers injected with ordinary rhinoviruses going into remission? What has been happening with that, since?
On deterring certain bad elements, that does sound credible. Though of course it would just mean some types of pictures are withheld, not all. It would have to be a very sensitive situation that no possible picture can be taken that is suitable for public release.
That was Cisco slogan.
I only have ~3500 karma so maybe I'm below the threshold. The only thing I can change is the top bar color.
You're welcome to look it up before making a flippant question next time.
Yes, social media is responsible for radicalizing a small group of alt-right folks, but I don't think de-platforming Trump really fixes the problem, and it acts a local minimum that detracts from solving the actual problem. De-platforming the alleged figurehead is just going to make the problem worse. Big tech is playing a really risky game, and I'm not alone in that opinion. It is a popular opinion that Trump "incited" the siege, but I must respectfully disagree. Most people realize there is a deeper cause, and humbly believe that using Trump as a scapegoat is a short-term bandaid and will only allow the wound to continue to fester.

I hate to say it, but I think that big tech feels responsible for radicalizing folks, and Trump is the perfect scapegoat. Is it really crazy to believe that tech wants to continue using their algorithms (known to cause radicalization) and are using Trump as a scapegoat?
Excellent. I agree. 'Every' was wrong. I didn't think of that when I wrote the statement.

If my FALSEHOOD had been censored, I would still be walking around with a dumb idea in my head.
It is hard to make a definitive statement either way. For example:

> Analysts estimate that underground economic transactions account for one-third (33%!) of the total economy in developing countries and slightly more than 10% of the total economy in developed countries. [0]

On the Bitcoin blockchain it may be around 19% (approximately USD $380bn in yearly transactions on Bitcoin [1], $72bn of which may be illegal [2])

So it's hard to say which "monetary system" is doing better in that regard. Of course, I would argue that cryptocurrencies are still in the experimental phase, trying to figure out where they are going and how.

Hey, glad you like it. You brought some valid points, questions that we have been making to ourselves a lot during this early stage... The first thing is about the short life of our customers, since we are trying to help you to reach a new job in three months, you would stop paying for our service when the goal is reached, we don't know yet how this will work, maybe we will need to increase or prices, maybe there is enough customers that keep actively looking for new jobs even while being employed, it's uncharted territory...

Selling data to headhunters, HR companies or agencies is completely off our plans of given back the applicant some control over the hiring process.
That would suggest that a better metric would be to look at the supply demand imbalance and also look at the growth rates for future demand.

For anyone looking at this list it’s probably the places where demand is growing fastest that you want to target.

From those you could split things into stuff that’s mainstream and upcoming.

Mainstream would be Python, AWS and JavaScript as per this list.

The fastest growing areas as per this list are Machine Learning, Azure and Docker.

A common pattern here is that the in demand skills cluster around front end + full stack (including ops) or data engineering + ML
Funny thing is I know of of at least two other women that currently call themselves Crypto Queen, or a variation of that, who are doing the TED circuit and similar.
Possibly, but it'd be a fairly minor handicap. Remember that people who don't enjoy music have no problem learning music or instruments, and plenty do. There's no obvious way it would result in your death.

We tend to make the mistake of assuming any seeming oddities of the human must somehow be due to evolution. But when we see the same in the rest of the body we often make the opposite assumption and assume it's a vestigial trait, or a coincidence.
I think we're detached from the original discussion. "That's what oracles do" was a response to the problem that "smart contracts cannot be easily modified if they are found to be buggy". Trust minimization is valuable, but a smart contract that allows an oracle to unilaterally override its terms doesn't minimize trust in any meaningful way.
Interesting, never thought of looking it up, this was the book:

For sale on the local ebay equivalent for 1,50 euros... a steal at that price:

The ad has some of the contents in it, most of the images were b&w with only very few pages in color. Still, I loved that book and tried real hard to learn it by heart.
Because if you are writing a fairly standard web app, you don't need this. There isn't the scale to make it important. Software is a very large field, with a wide variety of use cases. Obviously an exchange trading platform is going to have much more focus on these DB issues than a SaaS web app for business that expects at most 5,000-10,000 users at a time. With very few of those user modifying the same records.
When I consulted I also offered training on different technologies, languages, etc. Training itself is not very lucrative, but it's great for lead generation.

Also, I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this yet, post in the HN Freelance thread on the first of every month. I've hired a number of freelancers from there.
"Good enough is the enemy of the great" - Grumpy Cat (attributed)
Just to clarify, it sounds like his ideology is "rule by experts" only when the experts in office agree with the rest of his political ideology.

When someone like Trump is in office who he doesn't like, then I presume that this expertise to censor "falsehoods" is supposed to be found in unelected "experts" like our social media tycoons.

"Brilliant guy"?
There is a difference between “can” and “should”. Twitter has every legal right to do what they did, but I feel that the decisions they (and other social media companies) are making are extremely dangerous and misguided.
I have an example - I remember a time before social media and internet populism. In those days these same groups existed, but were exclusively on the fringe. You didn't hear people bring up radical alt-right talking points, or sympathize with nazis, or spout outright racism (as much).

The fact of the matter is that echo chambers encourage extremism and social media is nothing but echo chambers.

Another fact of the matter is human psychology. Humans have a biological tendency to accept as truth the first opinion they hear on a topic. This is a result of evolution. If your tribe member tells you a berry is poisonous, is the first response to argue? Or to just listen. Better to be safe than sorry.

When you combine that bit of psychology with social media, you see people go online to some circle jerk, innocently at first, and then get radicalized.

Now before any counter examples get brought out, just consider that while it doesn't work this way for every person, in every context, it does work this way for some non-trivial amount of people, and that's what we're seeing. A lot of users on parler aren't domestic terrorists, but if it's even 1% who fall victim to basic human psychology, that's enough for what took place on Wednesday.

So yeah - the example is the time before social media.
Youtube, Google, Apple, FB, Twitter, etc... I've said it before and I'll say it again, we need to look into collusion/cartel behavior of these tech companies. I'm sure I'll be downvoted like before by the suddenly "tech company" worshiping anti-free speech crowd here, but the coordinated nature of censorship really does need looking into.
I’m afraid absolute freedom is slightly overrated. You have to draw the line somewhere. I’m okay with where it’s been drawn today. It’s a “you’ll know it when you see it” thing.

This isn’t authoritarianism, and we can still rightfully claim to be a tolerant society with sound rejection and banishment of hate speech. Hypothetical example, my religion does not believe in gay marriage, yet I don’t prohibit others from pursuing a happier life. But (the royal) you must absolutely draw the line at enabling hate.
I think these guys are genuinely concerned, which is sad because this means they are completely off their rocker. Check out this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25695661

Complete nonsense that somehow manages to stay somewhat intelligible.
I agree, the only way I've found to avoid reinforcing a bubble is not to talk about the bubble, but rather, highlight that everyone can see the bubble - there's not a silent majority cheering you who perceives you outside a bubble, just people smiling politely and moving on, and other people genuinely worried for you.
I call it Obama-era because the guy got a Nobel Peace Prize while doing that. I have a even lower opinion of Trump, but at least he was widely despised by the international community, unlike the former
For me, a feature I'd really hope for is the elusive "if not let" (or however this gets named eventually), to let me escape the currently unavoidable clutches of Rust's rightwards drift and accruing mental context.
The number of studios not using blender is much larger.
I think the incognito mode is more about not letting any trace on your laptop than on the websites you are visiting.

>> People who dismiss usage of a cryptocurrency as a means of payment really don't have the long term picture of the currency in mind.

Maybe. Currently Bitcoin is not suitable for using it as currency or medium of exchange. Second layer solutions can help with the speed (10 minutes confirmation time) and throughput issues (transactions per second). That and the fact that it is not very user friendly makes it difficult to be used as replacement for fiat at this time.
There is also a big difference between a profession that respects the intelligence of their peers and one where people assume that their peers are ignorant and lack common sense.

Surgeons must act fast and be good at multitasking. I bet they are not in a forum discussing if those traits make them vulnerable to hasty decisions and to loss of concentration on the task at hand.

Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) is a federally recognized civil right, states and districts can't opt out of it.

Unfortunately it takes lawsuits to resolve these kinds of disparities, but there is no legal basis to proceed without making appropriate accommodations for students in low income families.
Thank you all so much for all the feedback. This community is amazing.
Rice does certainly work as a mild desiccant. Admittedly it is not a terribly effective desiccant, but it still has those properties.
And the RIAA lands another awesome strike of the sword into the ocean.

The more they fight piracy in this way, the further they push file trading into completely untrackable recesses of the internet.

It's actually a good thing in the long run, I suppose. Between this and the Homeland DNS grab, soon we'll have an alternative internet where everything is encrypted, routed through ZKS systems, untrackable, and completely outside of government control.
This sounds like learned helplessness. I have seen it in difficult R&D jobs where the hitrate from experimenting is very small, and people subconsciously give up. That's why hiring extremely motivated and intrinsically curious people for these roles is important.
I mean that they have proven it to themselves, I don't mean it in a legal sense.
Recent events indicate that the G Suite team is under pressure to cut storage cost. I wonder what's next.
I have Ubuntu on a ~2017 MBP and except for the camera it works great. I had to fiddle with a few settings for quite a while to get sleep mode working well but other than that no problems.

If I could get an M1 working as well with Ubuntu I'd switch in a second (currently on a Thinkpad).
