What?

It took me two minutes of lazy searching to find a video - and I want to emphasize that I am seeing it as is, it's not editorial or article covered by CNN - where Stephen Miller, a senior white house advisor seriously uses the words "deep-state" to refer to sinister efforts to undermine this president.

video: https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-advisor-stephen-miller-t...

Trump and his cohorts really believe there's a deep state - it's not a joke for him.

On a slightly related note, it's frankly scary how much people twist things to see what they want to see. I sometimes wonder how much worse the situation would be if someone more nefarious and competent were in power. It wouldn't be as easy to just pull up a video like this, and much harder to disprove "it's just a joke dude".
Please don't do this here, even if you haven't misread someone.

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13848745 and marked it off-topic.
True, and thank you for the correction. Can’t do much about genes after a child is born though...
While this is admittedly off-topic to this thread, I too have given this some thought. I'm coming around to the opinion that losing cell service wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

I prefer to live in a rural area, and a landline would definitely be cheaper. Ditching the smartphone in favor of a feature phone, which could remain off, battery disconnected, and in it's own little faraday cage in the car -- because being prepared for an emergency is a thing we should all do -- well, it all seems very appealing. Nothing in my pocket, no wifi sniffer gathering the hardware address off my phone, no location tracking services, etc.

Best of all, the people in my life would adjust to me not being available 24x7x365. I think that would be highly beneficial when compared to the constant stream of interruptions that seem like an invasion of privacy all on their own.
I can't speak for Hughes but I was a trained tech for WildBlue /Exede. Neither of their services have ever used dial-up for upload. While early generation WildBlue services were fairly slow on the upload, Exede was able to push 4+ mbit to the subscriber fairly constantly.
Do you find the problem to be more around design or story telling?
I like this idea! I'm building something similar at www.sivv.io. This is a community for knowledge sharing where users share / discover summaries of useful knowledge, ideas or advice that are structured into sections (e.g. background, key point, examples) that can be hidden or revealed depending on the preferences of the reader. The idea is that this forces authors to remove any 'padding' and allows readers to consume the key points as quickly as possible, in theory learning more while reading less. We are currently focusing on the topics of business, behavioural science, personal development, professional development, science & technology and wellbeing. You can sign-up to the beta version at www.sivv.io - any feedback would be much appreciated!
Yes, although it is possible to put the horse back in the barn with lockdown measures. And then IFF you have the extensive testing, those measures can be relaxed after a few weeks without cases exploding again.
I just saw an interview with an Italian physician where he briefly mentioned therapies for the lung before things got to the stage where ventilators were needed: https://youtu.be/3dmIzW3icRs

It was a brief reference without enough details to be sure that he was referring to clearance methods similar to our the same as what you reference, but it sounds as if this may be part of therapy already. So well in line with what you have described.
I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted, I even see police officers doing this.
Another point where you have to ignore SIGPIPE is concurrent code that handles multiple fds (say, like a web server). In this case you have to ignore the signal and process EPIPE correctly, because the signal is not associated with a particular fd so you cannot tell which one of them failed.
And this is how 'reality' gets a left wing slant.
Look into cbloom's descriptions of Oodle.
To be fair, the mathematical notation that is familiar to us today is just a few hundred years old.
I couldn't care less in the adtech industry collapsed overnight, even if that meant I lose my job, but what's happening with Google and Facebook trying to push for privacy regulations is effectively raising the bar for competition and new comers.
Would say London is a very good example of this as well, provided you're within the M25 (still a massive area though)
If you read the document, it has a list of types of data protected by end-to-end encryption, which no one but yourself has access to. This list does not include iCloud backups.

If you do not want this to happen, do not turn on the optional iCloud backups.

But anyway, although Apple could decrypt the other data, they declare they don’t. Which is what the labels are about.
Of the entire FAANG lineup, Facebook has the simplest chain of responsibility. Mark Zuckerberg is not only the CEO but owns a majority of voting shares. If he decided tomorrow that Facebook should prioritize user privacy, he could make it happen. Who's going to stop him? It's weird to describe this kind of corporate structure as one that has "little to no coordination".
Funny how this article bombarded me with cookie popups
> lots of Amiga software and hardware has traditionally been commercial and proprietary in a (maybe misguided) effort to save the platform

Wow. "Misguided" seems like the understatement of the century. How can a niche retro platform be "saved" by keeping everything proprietary (and often expensive)?
I've built startups in the gaming space for the past ten years. Some are successful (esports.com was sold back in the 90's), some mediocre (gameriot.com reached over 1 million uniques for a few months), and some failures (I won't bore you with these but they never got off the ground).

I don't recommend doing the gaming thing. It's a very competitive space with very little actual 'dollars' on the advertising side. Gaming was the 'in' thing for 2009, and the people who sold ads against it still floundered.

With that out of the way, here's my two cents:
1) Gamers don't like to pay for anything. Period. They have a very high piracy rate.

2) PC gamers should be your target. Console gamers rarely do significant 'gaming' stuff on their PC. (I know this is a generalization but I strongly believe it) The exception are transactional sites (see point 4)

3) I would strongly suggest that you avoid a 'social network for gamers' at all costs. I've built a few of these and they all fail miserably. The only marginally successful ones are XFire and Raptr. Rupture never really launched but was purchased for 10m so I guess you could call it a success?

4) Tying into game API's is ridiculously hard because you have to get every 'publisher' on board. The 'Developer' of the game always wants to do cool stuff with their games, but the publisher controls the budget for external integration and API's and what not.

5) Cheat Codes is the one area that hasn't been done to death that I see some potential in. Sites like Cheatcodes.com and MyCheats are not very social, built on old technology, and are RIDICULOUSLY profitable.

6) If you build ANYTHING for PC, make sure it is focused around World of Warcraft. It's the cash cow and nothing else compares.

7) Gamers don't like to leave their houses. I know that this 'myth' has been debunked countless time but the fact is, it's very hard to get someone to go somewhere else to play a game with their friend. Just hit them on their console or computer.

8) The one idea that I've had floating around is a 'lifestream' type site for gaming. I envisioned it as a low tech solution like 'upload your kill shot, brag about it' or something like that. People just take a pic w/ their iphone, you check the timestamp against their Xbox gamer tag to see who they were playing against, then you tag the photo w/ their names. Could work w/ video too. Console gamers don't really have much that ties them to their PC, so the iPhone (or any mobile device) is one of the few ways to get them while they're playing.

Sorry for the stream of consciousness. I'm a bit jaded from being in the gaming space for so long. Recently started something focusing on another industry (hair salons, oddly enough) and it's very gratifying.
Not mine, but it seems 10gen keeps regular hours:

Just because he set up a scholarship in his name doesn't make the things he did any better.

One of the aims of the Rhodes scholarship is Anglicization. A person who did not study in English cannot apply (even though he is fluent).

Until recently they also excluded women.

In any cases, the legacy of Rhodes is despicable - even if he left behind a scholarship program. His creation of the state of Zimbabwe (with two different ethnic groups) results in problems to this day.
I have found that as I become more 'addicted' to information, my life has become more scatterbrained. I find it harder to remember things and my attention span slowly grew shorter and shorter. I hate to admit this as it makes me sound inferior, but it's true.

I've been combatting this by not checking my email/twitter on the subway and just focusing on the book I'm reading, and watching videos in full screen.

Also using Tweetdeck has helped alot because I no longer check Twitter compulsively. I wait for a tweet to come in then respond.
When I read there was support for "HTML5 Ruby" I thought, can it be? There's an HTML5 spec that calls for implementing Ruby in the browser?

Sadly, no: http://www.quackit.com/html_5/tags/html_ruby_tag.cfm
Philosophical skepticism implies just that. It's not so much nay-saying as deference to evidence.

This is just a hack to make parents able to prevent kids from seeing porn.

It's likely opera's idea
The JS file also floods the console with crap.
> The same goes for now. There is no metric by which Whatsapp is worth 19B, except for the fact that Facebook can spend that much money.

I think it is just too easy to say things like this. Number one, how can anyone know this?

Number two, if not 19B then what? 18B? 5B? 500M? What? Was it overvalued by 2x or, like, 10x? If it was too much, then how much too much?
Only fools underestimate their enemies.
Why is AT&T making ALL "Hackers" out to be BAD?
AT&T: That Huge iPad Security Breach Wasn't Our Fault -- It Was The Fault Of Bad People Called "Hackers"

Has anyone else seen the movie, "Hackers Wanted" [2008] that was narrated by Kevin Spacey?
This suffers the same issue as Apple's demo site that shows the iPhone 3GS screens blown up 2x to compare against the iPhone 4 screenshots.

My eye doesn't have a zoom. I see things at their actual size and even holding my phone right up to my eye I can't get it as large as those images. Details that I can't see without artificial zoom are the same as details that I can't see period.

Clearly, higher resolutions up to some point are better for display purposes, but there's tradeoffs involved. I believe smaller pixels means less light gets through, it's more work for your processors which means less battery life etc.

Everyone knows why Apple doubled ppi and quadrupled pixel count. The benefits of this system over, say, Androids flexibility should be apparent. But there are also limitations that mean the iPad is unlikely to increase its DPI for years unless it follows Android's lead. Certainly not a clear win.
I assumed it was the US and "little" was sarcastic.
On a related note, is there any way to get executive/managerial pay info for Silicon Valley startups?
Most people didn't go to school because they worked in agricultural jobs that didn't require education. In 1870 half the country worked on farms [1]; today it's <2% [2]. From that statistic alone you can see that half the country has been educated for new jobs over the past 140 years. Market forces aren't "magical"; they're real and they work. I don't think it makes sense to assume market forces will magically stop working in the future.

Having both is very good. Look at what Backtype does with their Twitter search API. The HTML of each tweet will have its links be:

<a href="FULL_URL">SHORT_URL</a>

I think that's perfect because I know which URL shortener was used and can follow up if needed (e.g. check the bit.ly analytics).

What you're proposing would support exactly this scenario, and as a marketer of my web apps myself, I like. But their ToS changes the OP mentioned go exactly against that, and I don't like.
clearly he didn't do it for the money
When Steam first came out, people didn't just hate the idea of Steam constricting their games, they hated the actual implementation of the client. The client was bloated and unstable, and the Counter-Strike community in particular was upset by the fact that Steam was being forced on them even though it didn't confer any significant advantages over WON. During the first week, people had authentication issues with the client not allowing them to play games that had previously worked fine. At one point, someone cracked the exe to not use Steam and the result was better game performance, which was further evidence of how poorly the client was implemented.

The main thing that people like about the Steam client now, as you mentioned, are the client's community support features. People also like the Steam store's frequent discounts. Steam community integration didn't exist until late 2007, and 2007 was also the first year that they did a major holiday sale. Before that point, most people were either neutral on the system, or disliked it because the client was a waste of resources. Its memory footprint was big enough to make a significant performance impact on older machines, which is significant when you consider that Counter-Strike, the most popular game on Steam at that point, was a game from 1999.

People eventually came to like Steam, but that wasn't until Steam began functioning as a service that added value to a product, rather than an impediment that devalued a product. The Battle.net 2.0 is plagued with many of the problems of the original Steam client, and it confers very few of the benefits that the present-day Steam does. People don't just hate the idea of it, they hate the very client itself and will continue hating it until Blizzard does something to fix it. Forcing it on the playerbase when it is still in its current unpolished state is making a lot of people very upset, and reasonably so.
Then maybe Apple can find another Youtube and Google Maps provider. Question is: will the branding stuck in our minds supersede what Apple's route to alternatives entail? All theoretical, nonetheless.
This is pretty interesting, but perhaps the new question would be at what point does the thickness of a liquid slow down a swimmer. For example, there's no way a person could swim equally fast through water vs mud.

Perhaps the thickness of the syrup was not a significant enough difference to prove this.
Incidentally, the incoming governor of Florida is talking about putting in a full voucher program in the form of broader "education savings accounts" which also work for college savings and such.

The response from the education establishment and intertwined media is predictable (http://news.google.com/news/story?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us...): FUD about its effect on public education. Unfortunately the establishment is too concerned about keeping their own jobs to consider the importance of choice to developing the future of online education systems - which will improve outcomes and potentially dramatically reduce costs as well.

Florida could well be the voucher battleground for 2011, so if you're interested you perhaps should consider getting involved.
There's no reason to use GoDaddy - there are plenty of other registrars.

I never understood why GoDaddy has some form of monopolly in the US. Personally I use Domaindiscount24 (based in Germany) for my domains.
So what exactly are you asking?

Are you saying that paying for the AWS product is too expensive and you want to pay a consultant to talk about alternatives?

Are you looking for flat rate consultants to answer infrastructure questions for you?

Clarify your question and your goals.
> And yet what am I going to do but use turbo tax again.

At least look into the options. Credit Karma Tax, FreeTaxUSA, 1040.com - there's a bunch of stuff out there made by companies that don't actively try to make the IRS less functional.
I have a feeling that traditional cc system are slower than the time user waits for confirmation. Isn't it buffer based like disk io ? the bank has a buffer to accept any card that is legit (for small transactions) and the rare time a problem occurs they deal with it on the side ?
To the downvoters on wincy's comment: please let's not downvote people for asking questions, or just because you believe they are misinformed -- that's what replies are for.
I've been trying to deradicalize my grandpa for twenty years. Let me save you time and effort: It can't be done. We just have to wait for them to die.
"Taken" is a misleading and false. They aren't taking wealth. Others are giving them money in return for something they value. If I am selling a product, or my services, or a share of stock, I'm not "taking" anything from anyone. It's incredible to me that these casual editorialized titles are acceptable so broadly in the journalism industry, and yet labels like "fake news" are reserved for only right-leaning news media.
> One mother in California was fired from an insurance company after her boss complained that her children were too noisy during work calls

Glad to be living in France, where you must have a good reason to fire people.
Opinion: NYSE:GLD and NYSE:IAU are better at being "digital gold" than a blockchain thing ever will be.
In 1980 the top tax bracket was 70%. By 1988 it had been lowered to 28%.
Yeah without a transparent workflow like that for Mac, there is no reason for me to switch to this project.

I wish they had tried to collaborate with Docker and contribute upstream instead of this project.
Interns? Just give them pizza for lunch and dinner, and enough money to eat fish 'n chips or curry on the weekends; and provide 'em all the beer they can drink. But make it decent beer at least...
The Madonna Inn is an expensive and absurdly gaudy tourist trap. It is
laughably and entertainingly over-the-top if you're into that sort of
thing, but just taking one of their tours should suffice for giggles.
I've lived in Morro Bay and San Louis Obispo (SLO) and used to commute
past the Madonna Inn every day on my way to Avila Beach. I've never known
any locals who actually recommend staying at the Madonna Inn. Some
tourists might consider it mildly amusing, but it's really not very
interesting. --In short, the Madonna Inn is certainly not for everyone,
and there are plenty of far more beautiful places to stay around there.

If you really want overly expensive, and gaudily but entertainingly
over-the-top, then you should go to Vegas.
43-factorial is still a constant, so O(0) as far as complexity is concerned.
A lot would depend on size of membership, profit made per member, whether or not you have time for manually going through the database.

If you can justify the cost of you 'alternative' then that seems a good idea.
Maybe I'm reading those wrong, but I'm not seeing 'declining birth rates' in that data. (I should have been clearer, but that was the issue that I had with the original statement)
That's what I was hoping to find when I saw that link. However, you could probably do something like this. I think two ways to implement this are immediately obvious:

1. Create bookmarklet/extension that injects Silverlight's IronPython. This can already work with live DOM and all you need to do is create a nice REPL.

2. Have pyjamas running in background and compiling Python->Javascript on the fly.
Google misses the mark here...

Bad internet connectivity in the developing world isn't "only 56kbps" as some people think.

It's "random bursts of fast with random 30 second gaps of no connectivity at all". It's routed through 3 layers of proxies and firewalls which block random stuff and not others, while disconnecting long running connections.

Oh, and it'll be expensive per MB.

To that end, Lyra helps with the expense of a data connection, but is unusable for long voice calls. What would help more is a text chat system like WhatsApp.

Oh right - WhatsApp is already wildly popular in most of the developing world for mostly this reason.
Well quite frankly if you've been in the scene for a while, you'd be able to tell using other clues, speech patterns, and reused nicks.

Julius Kivimäki aka zee, aka Zeekill (https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Zeekill) has an extensive history, he actually has been dox'd and outed numerous times prior to this.

I knew lizard squad was zee by zee's idiotic behaviour. He constantly used the moniker "Ryan" or "Ryan Clearly" the name of another unrelated hacker. Well sure enough he gave an interview to someone using that moniker. Having even the tiniest bit of inside knowledge it was easy to piece together 1 + 1 = 2 and lizard squad is zee, aka julius.

There are other clues too, believe it or not, not too many entities are capable of massing as large a ddos as they were. Those that have the technical capability, normally don't advertise as such.

Zee was a "special" case, in that he had the capability, and advertised it as such, I was astounded the boy hadn't been jailed years prior. As I mentioned earlier he has an extensive history, and was involved in many of the large site take downs and ddos's that have made public news.
If you don't actually check the fingerprint of the key matches the fingerprint you were given (in some other secure way, such as walking over to the server), then yes, a first-visit MITM is possible.
Flywheel offered a flat rate of $10 for all cab rides on New Year's Eve. By contrast, Uber sent a mass email warning riders that New Year's Eve would see a spike in passenger demand, potentially skyrocketing prices to over $100 for a ride after midnight.

If you want to have no customers, then yeah, this is how you would do that.
Adept at building C programs that use standard autoconf? Yes. Adept at building go programs? Not so much, and I probably don't even have the tools installed (unlike with ruby). We'll probably reach a point where go is as much a part of the standard unix install as ruby is, but we're not there yet.
Looks like mozilla maintains a fork of the old etherpad codebase at https://github.com/mozilla/pad
You get shown a key fingerprint at first connection. If you verify that with a secure source you can confirm the host you are communicating with.

Actually bothering and having a secure way to verify the fingerprint are exercises left to the reader.
It's a feature, and why passengers didn't even bother.

It's a dangerous game. With the cost of ride essentially being an unknown, ranging from cheaper than a cab to many times the cost of a cab, I often wouldn't bother either. People prefer consistency in what they pay for an experience, and when it's inconsistent, I lose trust that the value will be consistent (ie. Uber for most people I believe is attractive if the experience is better or equal in cost to a cab, but terrible when the cost is significantly higher than the convenience/better experience.) At least with a cab I am (fairly) certain of the value.
In addition, you might want to run a process on a non standard port for security through obscurity such as not running SSH on port 22.
