Wouldn't an idea like pricing per-site only work if all the carriers did it? I know that ISPs are not the most...competitive of markets, but it seems like this would be a risky leap to make unless it was guaranteed that their competitors would make the same move.
Or you can look at all the time you'd spend doing all this, figure out the opportunity cost and simply pay full price for the pants.
As an anecdotal point of reference, I monitor a number of stackoverflow categories with RSS feeds. I commonly read and answer these feeds with Reeder on my iPad sitting in a comfy chair in my living room, not at my computer.

I answer less questions than I normally would if the interface were better.

(maybe this is fitting into the definition of "a few hardcores" for you though)
Who had the fun job of painting over every license plate?
I have the the original Khomeini copy. It's a gem. The articles inside are well worth the read compared to what we know today as facts regarding the US/CIA involvement.
The popularity of Fox News channel indicates that most people think that the mainstream media is too left-wing.
My impression is that anything mil-spec becomes really expensive, but I could be wrong. I was also making an analogy to soldiers buying their own gear when the military won't buy it for them, which AFAIK is happening in Iraq.
yeah.. cuz we all go to breitbart.com for our science news? seriously?
Added Countries: http://ow.ly/3pLxP

I really wanted to look at the map in the context of where actual countries were so I threw together a Google Maps overlay. I couldn't believe how accurately the connections followed country lines, it was amazing!
I'm trying to learn the vim version so I can try and put my life together.

But that is so amazingly cool. I bet I could do that in vim as well.

Yeah, I'd think it would be the taxi plate / medallion. Those are about the same price as the LIDAR on a Google car. Hmmm.
I just recently started learning bracket-lib (fka rltk), and it's tutorials recommend Legion ECS, but I'm finding the macros and magic of Legion to be less ergonomic than what I've seen from bevy. Is it possible/advisable to use Bevy as a standalone ECS, that doesn't require owning the "main loop"?
Those are if and buts. I am more interested if he wrote similar for Churchill. As they say winners write the history.
If you're a beginner I recommend starting with 5 sets of 5 reps using dumbells, bars or cables. Use as much weight as you can without hurting yourself and MAINTAIN FORM.

Check your ego at the door and maintain form, otherwise you are fucked when you start lifting real weights. You will get hurt. You will learn the bad form and fuck up your shoulder or joints. Don't do it.

Those beginner gains are crazy fast, and in six months you will be totally changed. You will be stronger. Push yourself.
That's not really the question being asked, we all know that we're not there yet. We aren't asking "can AI own IP?", rather, "who (as in: which person or entity) owns the IP developed by AI, if anyone?"
Took 'em long enough.

Only downside is that Amazon has smaller fees for micropayments than other payment providers at 2% + $0.05 for debit cards and 5% + $0.05 for credit.

For comparison, Stripe has a rate of 2.9% + 30¢ -- but I'm sure KS will get a better deal due to the magnitude of their throughput.

Given that the average pledge size is $25 it won't that much of a problem, but any of those $1 pledges are close to halved from KS+Stripe fees before they get to the creator.
I use your service religiously. Hi!

We ban accounts for breaking the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), not for being wrong or having a contrarian view. If you present your contrarian view in a substantive, respectful, curious way and avoid flamewar tropes, you should be fine.

That's not easy, though. The temptation to lash out at users representing the majority view is really high (edit: especially when one notices them posting aggressively or with lazy arguments, which is always easy to do when speaking for a majority view). It looks to me like you're succumbing to that a bit—though not so much that we would moderate or ban you.

It's a hard problem. When people feel surrounded and picked on (and may be surrounded and picked on), they have a tendency to lose it (I'm not talking about you here) and go into fulmination, wake-up-sheeple rants, and so on. Then we moderate or ban them, because protecting the container is more important than rightness or wrongness on $topic. Inevitably they conclude that we banned them because of their views, which is usually not so. (I say 'usually' because nothing is 100% true about moderation and because there exist genuinely extreme cases, which have to be handled differently.)

> This was a riot organized to specifically stop the transfer of power.

How? This is the part I'm missing. Yes it got stalled for a few hours while everything was going down, but after folks got their selfies and pilfered swag it was done. I'm not sure this motely crew really anticipated squaring off against the US Secret Service and National Guard to indefinitely suppress the transfer of power.
It’s interesting to speculate whether Boston Dynamics might be in play :-)
they need to do the right thing moving forward.

cant do that without solid policy
Look for jobs in NLP. There's a lot of interesting work to be done there. NLP for medical text s, NLP for intelligence encounter intelligence, NLP for lie detection. It's the space for your most likely to find work that is good
The handshake messages are validated with an HMAC to prevent tampering
"Safer than Japan" sounds like a good pitch.
It's not shared. It replaces single lane roads where you overtake into oncoming traffic. Driving is one of those things that lots of people thing they are better than average at.

This removes drivers having to judge when it is safe to overtake, you just have to sit back and wait for the middle lane to switch back.
For me those photos really help breathe life into that period of time, making it appear as more than just a series of abstract Wikipedia articles. Look at the contrast of those soldiers waiting next to a railroad against the fine architecture of the downtown. Today some of those folks are someone's feeble old grandpa telling stories of the old days, but look at how young and full of life they were in those pictures.

I'm a little disappointed that the top comment chain consists of belaboring the finer points of copyright statutes.
And if you use a specific enough dictionary for your problem, you can even just use cat! Just joking, I get what you're saying, the blog post is grepping a particular file, it's silly for people to grep a different file and use that as evidence your regex is bad.

But the dictionary is still wrong in one sense - there's an actual word list Wordle uses. I think from the way the blog post is written (e.g. "I refused to believe Wordle would be so evil as to..."), they're purposely avoiding looking up the actual Wordle word list, so they're purposely using the wrong dictionary.

I kind of relate to that - looking at the source code to devise strategies kind of feels like cheating.
An actual poll seems to be missing here, so I'll just add my comment.

I am a practicing Mormon (member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), and do in fact believe in God and the specific doctrines of my religions. I go to church every Sunday, pray and read the scriptures regularly, and plenty of other things besides. The majority of tech people I know in person are also religious, although I am very well aware that this is largely due to selection effects in my choice of friends and places of employment, and not necessarily reflective of general trends in the industry.

Furthermore, I find my education in computer science strengthens rather than diminishes my faith. Education in general strengthens my resolve that my religion is largely ascientific (not non-scientific, but rather outside the realm of applicability for scientific investigation); since it can be neither proven nor disproven by empirical evidence, I am free to continue to believe in it if I like, and I prefer to believe. Education in computer science specifically gives me a fairly unique set of tools compared to the average Christian apologist for investigating the internal logical consistency of my beliefs. For example, while I'm a big fan of C.S. Lewis and his works on the subject, I am also rather fond of the computational approach to the Problem of Pain (aka the Problem of Evil), as overviewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiTb6zhqHLI .
OA is using fairly capable hardware, so, out of curiosity, I installed the Kubuntu 15.04 alpha2 iso on my test laptop which is a 7 year old Thinkpad x61s dual core with 2.5Gb ram.

The result works responsively, with reasonably smooth graphical effects including the 'white out' and transparency effects mentioned in the OA.

Baloo search: baloosearch <word> works from command line and from the application launcher. Finds both file names and words within files (.pdf,text). Dolphin does not return results. Fresh install gives 'invalid protocol' error within Dolphin. Installing baloo-utils gets rid of that error but still no results. There are older bug reports about this stuff.
How would we know? The signal app as most people understand it cannot be built in a reproducible manner. This means that most people will be using something that may as well be compromised. The author does not care. It doesn't matter what the source code behind it is, as an entity signal is hostile to everything a good messaging app should be.

All these years exporting democracy, you just might have run out
Ah yes, because other than those two tweets Trump has never incited any mayhem before.

Certainly hasn't been shrieking that the election was stolen and that if Democrats control the government it's the end of democracy. Literal apocalyptic rhetoric that millions lap up.

Then of course at the rally yesterday telling people to march on the capitol building where they are currently stealing the election!
We must be nearing the point where companies decide it's better not to have a Twitter presence.

Can you give numbers to substantiate that "tide of NGO and Government money spent to promote alarmism"? Note that this cannot include money spent on measures against climate change, since that's a different matter.

How much money was spend on pure PR to "promote alarmism"?

And yes, industry lobbyism is widely known to give extremely good value for money (especially when, as mentioned before, its aims line up with what the voting public wants to believe out of convenience). That's why there is so much of it.
SVG and JavaScript (using something like jQuery SVG) might not be too bad.
Sorry, just added.
The math follows from the basic assumptions made about nature. Assume translational, rotational and time invariance, add the finite speed of light and some less obvious assumptions and all of classical physics (for those non-phycisists: this includes special and general relativity) follows.

Assume charged fundamental particles and EM follows. Assume quantized fundamental units and quantum mechanics follows. Lots of relevant physics can be described and shown with hardly any mathematics at all.

The idea that nature is mathematical in essence is a notion that primarily physicists entertain. They mistake intelligence for knowledge and philosophers, that have actual knowledge of the philosophical problems involved, know better. The idea that nature is mathematical in essence, and that we have discovered this fundamental essence, is both hubris and usually utterly devoid of any philosophical sophistication.
Do it, then, please. Would really like to see it.
The text in the example isn't selectable, searchable, SEO-able, cut'n'pastable and probably isn't accessible, so why would images of text be worse?
You do see duckduckgo.com in the referer, just not the search term. Although, if the person searches via the https version of the website, you wont see the referer unless you're using https your self.

And of course there is always the concept of a landing page, which other people have mentioned.

It's easy to track clicks for a campaign like this.

I understand that the British government did a lot during the Troubles. For one, the right to remain silent was weakened. Special counterterrorism units were created ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Reaction_Force ), which were accused of committing several crimes. And, although it wasn't an official policy, businesses added enough closed circuit television cameras that it became impossible to pull off anonymous attacks in London.
You talk about password collisions. I am only considering salt collisions.

Their system had many holes, one of which was the salt length. I did not mean that the salt length was the largest hole, nor that it was the one that was exploited. Just that it is a hole which could have been exploited if the others were absent.

The salt's only purpose is to prevent a password hash result being used more than once. The normal attack is to pre-compute and store a table of passwords and hash results by running lots of common passwords through the algorithm in advance. The salt needs to be large enough to prevent anybody storing a pre-computed table which has a chance of matching a result in your database. The salt also needs to be large enough that your own salts do not collide because this would reduce the work needed to crack the ones with salt collisions.
I have exactly the same Gnus setup. fantastic! However, one of the most frustrating things currently is the wrong message counts when messages 'disappear' from the backend either because they moved or deleted. Also when you get prompted by Gnus on how many messages you want to fetch from the server is broken by the above.
It scares me when they come out with great deals like this. Will there be a tipping point, when Linode cease to be great because they're overstretched?
Zuck? Is that you?
Wow. Thanks.

I'll check back in after I implement this in my dorm room. So much parts to get this break before I go back to college.
Deals like this are a double edged sword.

They really are great for people who have been sitting on the fence.

But new customers who recently signed up... those new customers all feel shunned and wish that they had of waited.
If it is open source, does the community provide any support to developers that find themselves in this situation? Perhaps the EFF or the legal team of an open source friendly company?
I supposed it could be a big boost for FOSS if the remedy for IP infringement wasn't damages calculated on expected (lost) sales, but an account for profits; so you'd hand over the profit you made from infringing this patent (rather than - hand over what we can convince a judge we would have made if we didn't have to compete with a cheaper product)
Overall I like this approach. If this is an honest oversight and they take actions to rectify it then that is the best. If, on the other hand, they ignore it then I would let the public and everyone else know because there are a bunch of other people that are at risk.

This gets worse when bank accounts are involved because the protections for businesses and consumers are next to nothing if your information is leaked out from a legal perspective and there are many instances of banks not backing up their customers.

We ended up ending a consulting engagement because a client had some big holes in their account security for bank accounts and had no interest in rectifying that. Our problem with that was twofold. First, the customers our former clients had no idea that there was an issue and second, if a breach did occur it could have put our clients customers out of business. There are stories about that happening.

I have personally run across way too many business that are interested in making money, even if that is at the expense of others with severe consequences for those actions.
Perhaps ironic would be a better word for it?
Of course not, do most people?

What are you referring to, that they will take things down only when a complaint is filed? That doesn't really speak to the quality of the archive that it's there in the first place.
>Scientific theory doesn't mean shit if the resulting product doesn't work.

That's the thing, I'm claiming that the implementation I tried DID work. Now, questionable YouTube videos, however, haven't worked for me before. Nor do the settings in the software for my discrete sound card. But I have experienced it with one particular company's implementation.

What was explained to me is that they have a generic HRTF that works for ~90% of the population, but there's a minority of the population for which a customized HRTF must be determined. They claimed that certain differences in the spatial characteristics result in their generic HRTF not being a good fit; perhaps you are part of that unlucky 10% who would need to be measured in a lab.

This was actually the topic of one of the questions I asked of the presenters, and their answer was to concede that unfortunately those 10% would be out of luck unless they got their personal HRTF derived. Who knows if the numbers are real or not.

Sorry you're getting downvoted for having a dissenting opinion/experience.
Of course, but that's not relevant in the slightest. Independently of whether or not one is happy with non-ad monetization, the decision under discussion is:

"In the _absence_ of non-ad monetization for a given product, do I decide that the transaction (view ads, get the product) is not for me or do I unilaterally decide to take the product without compensation".
True, but it was designed as a single-role aircraft: a lightweight, inexpensive air superiority fighter. The other roles only came later, when people realized what a versatile airframe that program had produced.
I really think we need more required (good) computing courses in both math and science curricula.
The author of the post started by getting into programming/CS by wanting to earn more/better money, by picking up an Access book and working it out from there, and now that he's more established, he looks down at the young hungry people who picked up an Access book in the hopes of more/better money, running through all the tropes that people who got where they are through knowledge will use.

Yes, it's useful to understand things better, and to know math. And as always since the first CS degree started, CS people gripe that people should Know More Math. Sure it helps. Other, less prestigious, things also help but you don't hear people griping about it. TDD allows the idiots in. Yes, that's effectively why you want TDD, you want to get more mileage and solving more complex or more bug-sensitive problems using the same people. Building software is not about being smart (although that helps on occasions), it's about getting stuff done.

Yes, machine learning and AI are the new kids on the block, and like Web programming, they will see a bloom of increased customer demand, and like Web programming, we'll get a progression from bespoke boutique software to frameworks that make people's lives easier to frameworks that allow any person with the intelligence of a pet rock to do simple stuff productively. Why is that? Because building frameworks is the only way that the smartest people can earn money faster than programming the (N+1)th variation on that theme everyone follows -- frameworks are what make people more productive, or allow you to use a workforce that's more accessible.

As a Wizard With a Pointy Head (aka academic), I'd say that the need for Wizards With Pointy Heads in production work is often overestimated and/or idealized. There is a large number of PhD graduates, and the market happily gobbles them up (indeed, realizing that you can hire PhDs and have them do productive work is one of the things that made Google successful as a company back in the early 2000s).
cool project, I'm sure you can build this with unreal too just a steeper learning curve though payoff would be higher quality graphic rendering.
sometimes people also sit down and ask "how can I build a platform to do this kind of thing so expanding and maintaining that platform can be my new job here?"
Yep, buildkit does incremental builds quite well

We find the dominating factor in (our) incremental builds / CI to be network/io caching, which has less to do with firecracker/docker and more with the surrounding hw/sw (gha topology & smarts, IO speed, ...). It's a real problem in GPU/AI CI where we get monster image sizes. There were some cool blog posts ~last year on caching and routing tricks happening at GH (joint with MSR?), but they've seemingly gone silent..

The federal government is too dysfunctional to pass this sort of obvious legislation. They protected their video rental records within a year after Bork was smeared. Dark financial patterns? That's just too hard to do.
what is "correct form"? and where is all the research demonstrating its success at preventing injury?
I agree with the sentiment in your first sentence, but really, loving Facebook and CandyCrush is the first trait you think of to eliminate? If only that were the worst thing about us.
yep, we imagined this would be surfaced as a new event.pointerType value, allowing code to specifically target the device if desired.
If you haven't already been in touch with someone to get this sorted out, can you e-mail me (jon.galloway at microsoft dot com)? Would like to make sure we're tracking and fixing any issues you ran into.
If you're looking for an alternative, may I suggest giving http://hnrss.org a try?

I built it to scratch an itch, but I love seeing others use it.

Add "?points={10,20,50,100}" to activate the points threshold (e.g., http://hnrss.org/newest?points=50).

Also has feeds for stuff like Ask HN, searches, user comments, etc.
> dart2js serves me well, and the resulting JS is said to be more performant than raw JS

Actually on most of the official benchmarks, dart2js output is slower than normal JS,

https://www.dartlang.org/performance/

(normal JS is faster on 3, matched on 1, and slower on 1).

Of course, the usual caveats apply regarding benchmarks and real-world performance, especially since those 5 benchmarks are fairly small and probably not representative of large real-world codebases. I'm not aware of any good benchmarks for Dart on that (there is a Box2D comparison, but the latest update isn't recent).
