if your criticism of facebook is based on an assumption that it's not possible to use any alternative to facebook, i'm calling that criticism invalid.
Maybe he can install a radio in every home that can’t be turned off or down then?
Watching the coverage live, the police treatment of today's insurrectionists and the BLM protestors is fairly stark. I watched the kettle tonight, and it looks like arrests were not a priority for the VA State Police on the ground.
I also wonder if he still has (ever had?) access to the @PotUS account.
> During periods where the healthcare system has been overloaded the mortality rates have been many multiples of that during times when healthcare is provided at an appropriate level.

If you ask people to cite statistics for their claims, you should also do so for your claims such as this one.
TIL about Parler.
I think the current consensus among experts is that the instruction set is not the limiting factor. Modern x64 microprocessors have a separate front-end that handles instruction decoding. These instructions are decoded to internal proprietary "micro-ops". The internal buffers and actual execution units see only these µops. One can measure where the bottlenecks are, and it's rare to find that the front-end is the bottleneck. While it's arguably true that x64 is a poorly designed "foundation", it's unlikely to be causing any performance difference here.
They are unfit for use as hospitals and you're right, there's no staff, hospitals around the country alone are struggling. There's no adequate places to even wash your hands due to toilets located sparsely in unsuitable places.

I've worked in Nightingale (London) and am on standby for Nightingale North West if needed. Luckily I didn't have to deal with any patients there and I hope we don't again.
Why does the sun need to have anything to do with numerical time?

IANAL: prior approval prior to posting.

If an employee of the publisher is in the 'chain of command' and hits a "Publish" or "Approved" button in the CMS, then it is editorial authority.

If any random yahoo can post something without moderation beforehand, then it is user generated. But the CMS operator could then remove the content after the fact per ToS.
Maybe "forget studies" (i.e "embrace this particular faith to provide relevant knowledge") could be the reason for the down votes?

I think it's odd for people to argue that "it failed" when it's the only language to have started from scratch and taken off at all; there's no precedent to compare it with - how long "should" a language take to go from non-existent to popular?
TL;DR
Programmer gets sent down for stealing proprietary code.

Gets released on appeal due to, what appears to be, a procedural issue (it doesn't go into much detail).

From my point of view, the chap blatantly stole the code. The whole premise of this article is that that's ok 'cos it probably wasn't very important code. Right.

My only take away is that the US has some seriously out of kilter sentences for these types of offences. 8 years is absurd.
Any idea why the northern passage was shown as open or why the passage into the caspian and black seas are wide open, those routes would have been very well understood?

Although I like programming in JavaScript, there's many people I know that consider JavaScript itself to be a silly extension of what a web browser should do.
It seems to me that the focus at HN is on startups that aim for huge growth, and not really small businesses; especially not small, stable businesses that don't have much potential to grow very large. The subject of the article is a small business that won't really scale well. One of the biggest topics of discussion at HN is around the topic of scaling a business.

I'm glad to see an article like this which reminds us that small businesses can be an important part of our society. I also see some efforts by some people in the ycombinator network to expand beyond the mechanics of doing startups. I attended last year's startup school and was blown away and inspired by one of the speakers, Danae Ringelmann:

You realize all these "new" concepts you think exist in these "modern" programming languages have been around since the early 1960s, right? MVC Web Apps ugh ... Maybe for some ... I just think there is a class of learner that wants to actually learn about computers and not just show web sites to their friends.
Am I alone in feeling that this headline is self-aggrandizing snobbery?

Facebook succeeds by providing universal access: it must be a tool that anyone can use.

Is a hammer geared to dullards? Is a coffee mug?

Just because it is simple enough for everyone to use doesn't equate to being "geared for dullards". I know it's cool to hate on Facebook, but attacking them for one of their key successes is absurd.

Now whether Facebook attracts dullards is another matter entirely....

Edit: It's clear that the article references research which is actually interesting and on-topic. However, I'm disappointed to see a headline like this on HN, which both misrepresents and colors the research.
Well, the nice thing about building a product when there is already one that exists is that at least you know there is a market that is ready to pay for the service. The bad thing of course is that if you can't bring some kind of disruptive tech to the battle, the entrenched player is probably going to stomp you. Start-ups win against entrenched players when they can move faster, thanks to leveraging a new technology, whereas the older competitor continues to lumber along using technology that was optimised for a time when hardware or bandwidth or whatever was more expensive.

At any rate, I doubt that we have successfully filled the entire space of web apps. As bandwidth becomes less of an issue for example, we should be able to start doing video editing on line. Or how about a decent competitor to Garageband? That doesn't exist online yet, and yet there isn't really any reason that it couldn't be done right now.
That's what we all sign up for. Some share more than most, which I'm sure many have/will thank you for!
I've never really understood this. The cost of keeping our website up is not even a percent of what it costs to lay out, print and distribute one dead tree issue. We don't need as much money as we once did. It just looks like a reluctance to adjust to me.
This is only one of the findings of the study ... Carr didn't bother to quote the rest. From the abstract at http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1951356

"The findings showed that the SNS use had a negative association with NFC and a positive association with ICT innovativeness. Specifically, people who were more likely to engage in effortful thinking used SNS less often, and those who were high in ICT innovativeness used SNS more often. Meanwhile, those who spent more time on SNS were more likely to be multitaskers."
The title is a bit misleading :) This is just a preview of Redis Cluster, it's not good to just claiming that I'm working at it, I wanted to show the first stuff we have that users can actually play with (but not use in production environments!).
Ok, try to find a breach of fiduciary duty trial that didn't involve profits (discussing a for-profit company, not a public benefit company or other organization).

The famous Dodge v Ford was about Ford increasing employee wages and reducing prices, at the cost of profits. One of his main motivations was to avoid paying out dividends to the Dodge brothers, who were using said dividends to bootstrap their own car company. The trial found that Ford has ample leeway in running the company as he sees fit, but can't simply ignore profit completely or do things with the sole purpose of avoiding profit.
There's a Darknet Diaries episode that points out how a lot of 'privacy' phones turn out to be honeypots

Scientism is a more precise term here:

https://sciencereligiondialogue.org/resources/what-is-scient...

>It is one thing to celebrate science for its achievements and remarkable ability to explain a wide variety of phenomena in the natural world. But to claim there is nothing knowable outside the scope of science would be similar to a successful fisherman saying that whatever he can’t catch in his nets does not exist (15). Once you accept that science is the only source of human knowledge, you have adopted a philosophical position (scientism) that cannot be verified, or falsified, by science itself. It is, in a word, unscientific.
Those links don't have any extra discussion though.
> Congratulations. I have millions of files on my static sites. So what? Would you recommend a container for each? To what purpose?

...what? Where are you quoting that from? No, I'm not recommending Docker if all you do is host static pages.

> We're still talking static sites.

No, I said "if you've got a lot going on on a single machine" - I didn't just mean static sites. I did respond with "different sites/domains with different degrees of functionality in different languages/frameworks", which means a variety of services, e.g. one client may be a static page, another might use a backend/API in Node, and another in C#/.NET - etc.. heck, you might even used containerized DBs for some of them. Hence Docker.
Every one of those pages has citations to reliable secondary sources (if they don't, you can get them deleted by referring them to AfD). If you can provide sources for the person you want to write about, a source that includes some argument for their notability, your article will survive too.

It's frustrating, some of the pages that manage to survive on WP by dint of flimsy sources that have written about them. I spent a bunch of months trying to push back on spam pages in my own field on WP and ultimately gave up. But there's a reason it's like this: it's an all-volunteer project, and they have to draw a line somewhere, and it has to be a line that's easy for (very) part-time volunteers to quickly and cheaply adjudicate. WP:RS is exactly such a line.
I'm following this issue:

The parent made a good point, this post is just a nitpick that might not even really apply: you don't need to account for inflation when you are benchmarking their performance against APPL and GOOG.
Why not use already existing init? runit seems small enough:

The fact that there are literally millions, if not billions, of people walking, driving, riding in trains, and flying every single day with quality cameras on them and not a single one of them has captured a single shred of credible evidence. To quote Tim Minchin, every extraordinary claim that has ever been presented by humans has turned out to be "not magic".
> The Beagle landed on Mars and was unresponsive.

The Beagle was the cheapest Mars mission ever (~50 million), and the investigation attributed the failure directly to not having enough money to do things properly. Again, dollars, not decades.

> The last SpaceX test rocket failed to land.

It was a test, an experiment; Musk was describing it as "50/50" beforehand. The mission achieved exactly what it was meant to do.
Fascinating read. At the start I figured it was as simple as "poachers are bad people," that they're just profiteers, but the situation is far more deep-rooted and complex, involving war in neighboring areas and the funding of the park coming from conservation of tigers, which the locals hate. So much could be solved if the people living there just had a legal way to make money.
Can't find the article now, but it was posted on HN that these social sites' share/like/login plugins track your online activity, so blocking them is a privacy feature, not a bug. Ghosterity blocks these buttons by default too but allows them be enabled in settings.
I think the main difficulty is how to determine whether traffic is legitimate or not. Banning ranges of IP addresses is effectively denying service to non-attackers as well, so they win. The game is to soften their traffic's load on your system as much as possible while keeping things available.
Quoting from the course front page:

Students with extensive software engineering experience (systems software, parallel programming or computer graphics) are strongly encouraged to apply.

Almost makes me want to go back to grad school. Look at these folks, they made GPU-enabled code available as Python's SciKit[1]

But then I see they're patenting stuff left and right [2] and my enthusiasm for this project dwindles....

Is this a new problem? The article talks about growing cities creating "endless commutes, growing pollution, and unwalkable neighborhoods." For someone trying to commute to the airport regularly, it's best to live in the NW suburbs. But Downer's Grove was established in 1873 so it's not as if this is a new problem. Additionally, I agree that it is not entirely convenient to travel between satellite areas of the city, but there are a number of opportunities local to any one part of the city/metro area.

I live in a suburb and recently spent a large amount of time looking for a new job, after living in a small part of California with limited opportunities, and while I didn't have the best time looking for a position as a Software Engineer, it's not as if there weren't jobs in any suburb or downtown that I couldn't achieve. I'm not someone who would look to regularly commute downtown but there are both Metra and L-stations that I could access and it's not as if we don't have roads.

This sort of sprawl as an issue seems to be targeted towards growing cities and suburbs that are undeveloped in terms of resources and infrastructure. Many of Chicago's suburbs and surrounding areas have really deep histories and local roots. In this sense they become their own neighborhoods, cities, towns, and villages instead of just rows of houses without sidewalks or an endless stretch of strip malls.

I think it's also easy to carpool or work around bus schedules if that's really an issue to a commute, or buying an electric car for short journeys like that.

The second city is also in a much better position than many other cities in the midwest. Indianapolis and Minneapolis-St. Paul are a lot harder to get around from outside the city, especially if you don't have a car, so I could understand how moving further and further out could be a detriment.
Yes, I was making a point about how my thoughts always end up in that kind of a question and I was proposing a way to look at life that might avoid such depressing situations.
But there are a lot of accidental ways to get hurt. Backpack straps or loose clothing getting caught, or just simply tripping, or having impaired mobility (seniors and handicapped people).
You can definitely create github pages for each repo, using your own html/css/js. You just need to create a gh-pages branch [1]. If you just want to host a new static site, you can even create a new repo just for that, create a gh-pages branch, then make it the default branch and delete the master branch, leaving you with only the gh-pages content [2].

It's either app, or users are the product. When I was in Hong Kong recently, listening to talks about WhatsApp & Facebook, each person using these services was worth +- $48. Sub. fee? Anything like that.
Who cares how long the file is? That's not what "spaghetti" means, what matters is the formal structure of the code.
I assume they're all using VOIP services, not landlines.
Americans. The primary social measuring stick used is acquisition of wealth, and they have no real social safety nets to speak of. They have an overriding belief that free markets will ultimately solve any real problems peacefully. Grift is sometimes (ok often) admired and winked at, though generally officially denounced. There are substantial oppressive problems with regards to females fully participating equally in society, and they’re slow to change but there are occasional signs of progress and leaders bucking those trends.

Sounds a lot like my American culture to me!
Yeah agreed its pretty confusing and took me some time to reconcile!

I imagine for legacy support or business reasons they maintain the OAuth API, but I too wish they add granular repo support to the OAuth API and existing tokens were migrated to an all repos scope, while new tokens were encouraged to be per repo scoping.
Lol, I used to be a workaholic. Now for some reason I hate working. Barely work an hour a day (unless I'm oncall). Still haven't been fired.
A big theme of this essay is the author knowingly raging against things that he is well aware that he is complicit in. I don't know exactly how to describe the tone, but that line makes total sense as part of the "bit."
There are many different ways to speculate on both the current and future human condition, I don’t think we really need to gatekeep. I found it a shame when Stross abandoned his eschaton books for some minor self-perceived glitch in their internal logic that could have been handwaved away, but by and large I haven’t felt his work has taught me much about humans, however much sweat he puts into the techie bits. Most of it is downright silly (or more charitably playful), and deliberately so.

I find it interesting that Margaret Atwood’s careful branding of herself as not a science fiction author is predicated on the same argument, that she lacks the techie doodads that are the supposed hallmark of the genre. But I have always felt that was a completely self serving, not to mention ahistorical, distinction.

Each to their own, obviously. As long as you’re reading you’re winning.
For Firefox there are actually a couple of rendering add-ons, you don't like any of them?

I also write everything in md, but don't render — just styled my neovim for readability. In vim & neovim you can follow links to other local md files, web, etc. The benefits of this are instant navigation within both the folder structure and the document itself.

Also using nvim-twilight for dimming out non-focused text blocks.

There are rendering plugins as well, I just don't really need them. In my style headings are bold, different color depending on the level, # are set to be barely visible — kinda nicer than html/pdf for me personally.

Maybe there are some useful plugins for your TE/IDE?
That actually sounds like a great way to workout while getting paid! Do they accept short/temporary/irregular stints?
I wish people would spend a few hundred hours thinking about, discussing and implementing a feature, before posting critique opinions.
The actual detail/technology, more or less. There's nothing China did this last couple of weeks that the Five Eyes' QUANTUM setups aren't already tooled to do: QUANTUMINSERT can be used to inject the JavaScript, just change the selectors and the payload. Indeed, I believe this capability has already been privately trialled by GCHQ. (QUANTUMSLAMMER, was it?)

It is not advanced technology: TCP just has no protection here. Anyone capable of in-path packet surveillance and in-/by-path packet injection on a significant link can pull off this exact same attack. You could co-opt a router to do it: GCHQ have.

We're going to need pervasive (authenticated) encryption to defeat it.
I think you got it wrong. The Baidu analytics code is not on the pages that are on GitHub. It is all over the place, and the Great Firewall occasionally swaps it out for the malicious script. There is no malicious code on the GitHub pages.
There still seems to be some special handling of them. Accessing these two projects through tor fails with an angry-looking unicorn and the message "Something went wrong and we cannot service your request". All other github projects seem accessible.
It seems the only solution might be to block all content from China? Great - now they have the firewall working both ways.
The idea is that if everyone else is converging on "tail -F" supporting that as an alias means that people's habits & shell scripts just work without modification. That seems worth adding a single line to a switch statement to me.
<sigh> Overly ambitious try-to-do-everything pay-to-win monstrosity, when all I really wanted was a modernized Wing Commander.

Obviously the people pay $5000 for a space ship really like the game, but a lot of Chris Roberts old fans (like me) are a bit put off.
Gah. So let me guess, the "stand-up" ended up with a bunch of people sitting down, because after all, you can't stand up for that long...?

...the number of people who miss the reason for standing up (to force brevity) is astounding.
The brain teasers are merely examples.

The real point is that "intelligent" people make these mistakes when it matters, e.g. when deciding on a medical treatment, or where to spend money and time.
"The good bad book" is a wonderful term - thanks for pointing it out. It does a great job of expressing how I think of Lord of the Rings... It doesn't have a lot of literary pretensions, and it's just a great read.
