Violates this requirement: "If and only if at a particular point no word at all from the dictionary can be inserted, a single digit from the phone number can be copied to the encoding instead."

The number you mention allows to get into the branch with the 'Koch o"d' - so no digit can be selected.
No firm or industry has any sort of “bottleneck control” over or market power in the broadband marketplace; it is very much a competitive free-for-all

Uh, last I checked, I had one viable, reasonably priced internet provider (local cable company) - all the others are either much slower (DSL) or much more expensive for equivalent service (ptp wireless).

Seriously, I'd be willing to give up "network neutrality" in a heartbeat for a free market system, provided that I get plenty of viable, competitive choices for the last mile to my house, which I think would solve additional problems rather than just the one being discussed...
Except that bsdist_rpm only builds the current package. That's not really any different than pip. You'd need to recursively build packages for all of the dependencies and have some magic to autodetect the provides/requires inside your little package ecosystem to be reasonable for any non-trival app to be deployable via rpm. This isn't impossible, but it's a far cry from PEX or uberjar.
A lot of media isn't designed to last. I saw 'Snakes on a plane' it's a trash movie but I enjoyed it. I wouldn't watch it again but I'll go and see another trash movie soon I'm sure.
It's not so clearcut. If this is evidence Python is strongly typed, would the following be evidence to the contrary?

In [1]: 1 + 2.5
Out[1]: 3.5

In [2]: "foo" * 3
Out[2]: 'foofoofoo'

In [3]: [1, 2] * 3
Out[3]: [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2]
After reading the solution presented, what strikes me is that there is very little new math in it. Before you jump down my throat let me explain as this is quite an impressive effort.

Equation 7 bears a striking resemblance to what you would get if you started with a Liouville vonNeumann equation and tried to solve it in time. Infact all of the equations seem to follow this path.

See for example the books:
1) Charge and energy transfer dynamics in Molecular systems by Volkhard May and Oliver Kuhn (chapter 2)

2) Chemical Dynamics in Condensed Phases by Abraham NItzan.

I find it a bit surprising to not see these in the reference material. Everything in this paper screams Liouville von-Neuman equation.
How do you setup the fan? Are you running any ducting, or do you just plop/mount the fan somewhere, turn it on and it works?

Just curious because my wife is bothered by a lot of odors and we've tried everything. For example, the other night, my wife woke up and had to close the windows in the house because a skunk smell was so strong. But, all I could smell was clean fresh night air. Hah.
It's not about consent but copyright. If I share a picture of me, this doesn't give anyone the right to repost it somewhere else.
They are encrypted, just like everything else in the app, just not E2E. There's a big difference between no encryption and encryption that isn't E2E.
Depending on your skills and inclinations:

* consulting: providing your expertise to others. I have picked up a few gigs doing code evaluations or pocs for people. Helps if you have deep tech skills in a niche and a reputation. You can do this by blogging about it.
* contracting/moonlighting: writing code for companies who need it. Join a slack and watch the jobs or contracting channels. Email former employers and ask if they know anyone who needs some extra hands.
* tech writing. My company pays for technical articles. I know others do too. draft.dev is a kind of a clearing house for technical article writers.
Maybe because the STP abbreviation has already been claimed by a bunch of other things? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STP#Computing

Anyway I'm opting out of that one, I like my internet scent-free. I guess there may be some people who are really into smelling?
No way! The only way to be on the baremetal side of the line is manual activation of transistors using a telegraph key powered by a lemon...
I was really hoping T-Mobile would set up a vaccination site to troll the tin foil hat crowd. They just announced some major 5G promotions and I think this could be a major marketing move for them to combine the two.
Agreed! And this does not contradict what I said. I think it's easy to swing too far in both directions.

Its called a DSL because it is extremely declarative, and because while it is obviously a subset of ruby syntax, it does not have to look like common ruby at all.

I take your point though, I do get that feeling sometimes. There is a lot of showing off by ruby API developers.

I think there comes a time in every ruby hackers life when they get the urge to write an API that makes use of every single metaprogramming/reflection/self-modification feature in the language, because it looks like so much fun. We spend our work days writing rails with all its fancypants DSL-like bits, and we think "I want to do one of them!"

Mine is a DSL for defining regular expressions in natural language, and my god does it abuse metaprogramming. All the methods are defined at runtime by iterating over datastructures that list the regex spec. instance_eval(&block) all over the place. It is fucking brilliant. And not finished. Obviously.
He is a true friend to all those Koreans. But the map only shows those who have computers. AND access to internet. Which would be his family, government and more or less that's it. The rest would love to show their friendship and devotion to Kim but can't - lack of computers is killing them...
It's open source.

I played with it a bit and then read the source. Poof! Magic gone.
Hackers and Founders Silicon Valley is going to be graduating from just using Meetup.com, to setting up it's own website. One of the first things that we want to do is maintain a public repository of all the Hacker News and Hackers and Founders Meetups around the globe. We are using the above Google doc as a starting point.

FYI: We're also going to be setting up a Google group of HN meetup organizers, so the connectors can connect. "The value of a network is proportional to the number of nodes in the network^2" also works in meat space. So, we want to connect all these different nodes.

So, if you're a member of a local HN meetup, or if you are interested in starting an HN/HF meetup, feel free to list is here. We'll be posting a link on HN as soon as we get the site up and running.
btw, the url you list in your profile appears to be blocked by openDNS, reckons it's a phishing site.
I like how SICP teaches you about programming first, and then considers how code might be executed on a register based machine:

Avante IO | Django Full Stack Developer | Remote | Contractor/Consultant (40hrs/week) | Must reside in North America

Avante IO is seeking experienced Django Full-Stack Engineers interested in helping our team build out cutting-edge insurance technologies. We are building out exciting tech (using Agile methodologies) at scale on AWS using some of the following frameworks and programming languages:

Django/Python/DRF, React/Redux/Typescript/RTK Query , PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker/ECS/Terraform, JIRA/Github/CircleCI

Your responsibilities will include working with underwriters and business associates in planning & building new features, fixing existing bugs, and working on performance problems. We are looking for engineers excited about working on hard problems and also feel comfortable with ownership of complicated technical problems.

Please submit applications to johnny@avante.io with the subject line: Full-Stack Engineer (Django) - HN and include your place of residency. Include a CV when reaching out, as well as any GitHub links/projects you’re particularly proud of.

Your application will not be reviewed if you reside outside North America.
I don't know about Google's support offerings. But when I worked for a startup that was on AWS, here's what we'd do:

1.) Try to figure things out ourselves
2.) If we can't figure it out, subscribe to AWS Support.
3.) Get question answered and then turn off the support plan.

You'll have your support plan for the rest of the month and pay a prorated amount for the days during which you had support. It's quick and cheap.
$750k is not well above the market value of fourplex units in Berkeley. They're selling for $800-900k these days.
The author does seem to use Rc and Arc references, which collect garbage using reference counting.
If I were only allowed to use one language ever again it would probably be Rust, partly because of how versatile it is. But nobody is imposing that limitation, and a willingness to continue learning is important as an engineer. Not only because there will always be languages better-suited to certain tasks than Rust is, but because you can learn things from other languages even if you don't end up using them directly. It's a big world out there.
I use rocket and it still feels beta, has issues to integrate with other libraries like tokio and mongodb because of the quick changes of versions that are incompatible, and in general lacks a lot of essential features. At the same time it’s light and easy to use, like flask
As someone with older children, I can attest. Also the attitude can lead to a lot of tension with your co-parent.
I don't think it's surprising at all that an article posted on a Ycombinator.com subdomain about news talks about Ycombinator-related topics.
Ah that's a shame to hear — the book sounds really cool (as a layman with an interest) but I too was hoping for a Kindle edition. May pick up the paperback if I can make some room! — now operating a strict one in, one out policy for physical books :)
Yeah, I definitely think it's a chicken-and-egg problem. In general, my experience is that the hardware that has official support in Linux works much better there than in other OS'es.

Things are certainly getting better than they used to be, now I'm more surprised if things like wifi and webcams don't work out of the box, whereas a while ago, it was almost a certainty that they wouldn't.
Since this issue has been raised many times on HN, could you show the kind
of queries that point back to Mahalo in the results. I use Google
daily but it never happened to me.
It's quite possible I'm behind the times.

not because modern linguists are so foolish as to base theory on written language

That was actually what I was trying to get at. While there are clearly some rules we follow when speaking, they are much more open than those governing our writing.

It's odd, though, or at least counterintuitive, that our comprehensive of these less-structured spoken communications is higher than that of more-structured written ones.
Looks like it is Jason... verified via Twitter: https://twitter.com/jason/status/16702228671
So are you traversing the entire tree of children here? I'm familiar with cloneWithProps, but I've been wary about this technique because of how deep the components I actually want to bind could be and how much traversal it could take to find them.
What language/languages you prefer for runtime speed?
But does predictive coding perceived as a valid theory for cortical neurons functioning?
There was a paper from 2017 drawing similar conclusions about backprop approximation with Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity: https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.04214
Looks more grounded to current models of neuronal functioning. Nevertheless, it changed nothing in the field of deep learning since then.
If my fetish is people over-eating, does someone who stuffs their face with 10 Big Macs (completely clothed) need to get approval to upload to pornhub?

Community uploads to pornhub don't feel like prostitution to me, because for the most part no one is doing it for money, merely because they're horny or enjoy it.
The reason I'd object to this is that you'd be able to indefinitely defer taxes by using C-corps as holding cos.
That's great advice. I'll add it to my list of round-tripping German, and Japanese text with emojis, and changing the timezone.
A couple of years ago, I discovered that archive.org had archived an ancient (1998ish) personal web page of mine. Back when the internet was a smaller, safer and simpler place. It contained a bunch of personally identifiable information, including a phone number and an address.

It took me months to have it removed from their archive. They are extremely (deliberately?) slow to respond to emails. They ignore EU law (right to be forgotten, and in this case GDPR on account of the PII). The domain no longer exists, and my registrar doesn't keep records older than 10 years because of GDPR, so I couldn't use that as a way to prove the page was actually mine. In the end I had to send them a DMCA takedown notice, which only worked because the page footer had a "Copyright Elric $lastname" notice. After another goodly while they finally "removed" the page. I'm sure they didn't actually delete anything, but only flagged the page not to be public.

If you have archived content which you can't conclusively prove is yours, you're pretty much screwed. And it seems like you can no longer prevent them from scraping your content, as they no longer respects robots.txt. I suspect their crawlers aren't nice enough to tell your their actual identity either.
If Google removed it from their search result it is true that most people will not see/find it.
But her video/thumbnail is still all over the internet.
But if the (porn) sites removed the video/ thumbnail it will be gone from google search as well
this title is pretty mild. it should be something like "One woman's struggle to remove her drugged rape photos from pornhub"
Seem to be a bit heavy on Mac only instructional videos.
>>> Seriously, they deliberately operated it way outside of the known to be safe parameters, and turned off all the safety systems ...

If you think about it, that's pretty scary.

Even if the science behind this is fully understood and the engineers flawlessly put alarms, locks and backups for every possible failure mode, it only takes one idiot manager to overrule them all and have the safety systems turned off.

Makes you wonder about all those other things you are told "cannot possibly go wrong"...
Check out PHP Fog: http://phpfog.com/ They offer something similar to Heroku, but for PHP.
I had to triple check to make sure I got it right, and I wrote it.

Yes, I think the GP is incorrect.
This title is unnecessarily provocative.

We operate in an integrated, global financial system now. For the last decade, our entire country has been funded by Chinese funds for crying out loud!

Foreign banks such as UBS, CS, some of the reinsurers, as well as the ECB (and by extension the mammoth French banks) all cast such a wide net over the entire world that one of them failing would be enough to jeopardize the U.S. system.

This article forgets that Lehman was (after Bear) the smallest of the global players. If say a bank like Deutsche, or BNP Paribas failed, the effects would be even bigger than Lehman.

To get the benefits of globalization the world must accept the cost of globalization. These types of articles are typically written towards audiences who don't understand this concept.

How many times have the history books flamed the Federal Reserve and the U.S. government for not doing enough to save the nation from the Great Depression? Would they be saying the same if the Fed had not helped the banks?
I'd like to find out more about hosting Rails apps on Duostack. How is it different from Heroku, what's the pricing going to be like?

Not sure I have the time to participate in the beta though.
Yes, this is a great example of how we focus Tropo on making things easy. But then also let you do the complex things like advanced grammars for speech recognition when you need to. Simplicity mixed with depth of features.
Minihack is the best Hacker News app I've found found for iOS. I've tried almost all of the HN apps in the App Store and Minihack is the one that I keep on my homescreen. It meets all of the criteria you listed, including the bonus ones, and the dev has done a great job at keeping the app up to date and bug-free.

Just a wild thought: if aliens wanted to change a genome of some species, what are the chances they would construct viruses to do that? AFAIK CRISP uses something similar.
I like the "one-click decision" idea. I find it time-saver as I don't have time to copy/paste/edit posts for each articles I'd like to share. Bookmarked it.
That's because 99% of human decisions are made emotionally. We may be masters of justification, but ultimately the decision is made emotionally, using logic and rationale to justify our emotional needs. If you sway someones emotion, they will justify their emotional needs by whatever means at their disposal. This is why manipulation works.

This is also why religious debates and wars transpire - even in a developer environment where we pride logic and meritocracy above all: Visual Studio is clearly better than Eclipse, the PC will always be better than the Mac, Android is better than the iPhone and Git is better than TFS ;)
Doesn't wash.

Trick question, why is it that they are not afraid about what the press will do with their snarky comments on say, Google, Microsoft, Samsung or Android?
Why? Because you find it unfathomable that people would do this? Do you also believe that people never fall for 419 scams?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/419_scams
Spoken like a true engineer.

But that analysis only holds for a nearly saturated market where everyone has all of the information they need to make a decent decision (think Coke and Pepsi).

For almost everything else marketing is just a type of information flow -- a semi-directed broadcast. This task, getting information where it needs to be, is extremely valuable. Therefore marketing, as inefficient and difficult to measure as it is, creates value.

I think your distaste might come from how inefficient it is, kind of like turning on every light in a neighborhood because one person wants to read at night, but the person selling the book and the person reading the book find enough value in the transaction to more than cover the electricity.
It's not. some people are solving this problem with https://github.com/conda/conda. There are many ways to use conda for deployment. My preferred approach is the following:

For builds:
- build a conda environment for your project
- export your conda environment using conda list -e, and then take all the conda packages for those and put them into a single tarball

For deployment
- bootstrap a base python environment using miniconda http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html
- install that tarball of packages with conda install <mytarball.tar>

It's not as simple as a jar, but it's reasonably close

As someone who's heard nothing but good things about Eastern European programming shops, looks like y'all's salaries are only gonna increase. Perhaps you should take some bets on your market with that assumption!
Seems like there’s some duplication where very similar emails are received close together. What do you consider a unique email? How do you duplicate?
From the paper [1]

> A core value proposition of LN is that Bitcoin users can execute payments with negligible transaction fees. This feature may be cherished by payment initiators, but in case of insufficiently low network traffic, it could be unprofitable for router entities.

Relative to the purposely (and ingeniously) wasteful process of mining, LN will always be faster and cheaper.

Am I the only one who notices that you can't throw a board in the bed without strapping it because all of the modern trucks have 6 ft beds instead of 8 ft?
Is there an alternative to the powerwall that is functionally similar, in terms of power density and utility, but doesn't have things like a network stack and other wifi / IoT / "smart" features ?

We are just about to install lithium battery backups in our home and, of course, the Tesla powerwalls are an obvious choice, but I don't look forward to having to disable/reenable the network connectivity on them, manually, in some cat-and-mouse with Tesla for updates or whatever...

In fact, I'll bet that most (all ?) of the updates that Tesla has to send the powerwalls are for the update system, and accompanying network stack, itself ...
> But yeah, $50k is enough for many to throw work-life balance out the window

It should be pointed out whether you mean net (take home) pay or total cost for employer. The latter is usually about twice the former at these salary levels (at least in some parts of Eastern Europe).
Always a favorite whenever it shows up here. It’s like you know this person was breaking the law but no one was really hurt and it goes unsolved still. It’s a great mystery story of someone messing with a system no one really messes with.
Just guessing, but in non-rhotic accents like RP and New Zealand English, the R in car is not pronounced unless the following word begins with a vowel. Any other ideas, maybe from an American English speaker?
I'm a native en-gb speaker: I'd say the R in red is hard (ruh! like huh!) and the one in car is soft (aspirated; "ar") but I don't know IPA so couldn't really give you any more than this.
It's not a competitor to Skype. That's Google Talk. I don't think it's unfair to say that Google Voice is generally regarded as an amazing innovation in mobile phone arena.

And speaking of Skype, will they be allowed to do video chat on the iPhone 4? Maybe they will, maybe they won't. I wouldn't bet my house on it though.
