If she's coming over to live, then she should be denied entry anyways. Perhaps just stay straight-out "I'm moving here." Maybe throw in something about maybe getting a job "To have more money for our family." Neither of those are total lies, but any CBP agent that's not asleep should block entry. She might even just tell them the situation, ask to see a supervisor and go from there. They may be able to provide something better on her record that way.

Although it can really depend on who she gets. My wife came over to see me after I moved to the US after just losing our daughter. She had a 10-year multi-entry visa, had come and gone several times before. They held her for a couple of hours, went through all her stuff (which is to be expected), but then demanded to know why she was sad about losing a child, why she had written about her child if she had died, and on and on. My wife decided she'll never fly through the US again.

Once I got an agent, first thing out of his mouth was "you're going to miss your flight". When I said he didn't know when it was (I had a 3 hour layover), he said it didn't matter, he'd make sure. Other times, they barely even glance up and wave me through.
>Once again: the only reason this bug got so much attention and press is that it's easy for laypeople to get their heads around.

I think that's the reason why this bug should get a lot of attention and press. Most programmers can see this bug instantly, without even knowing the purpose of the code. How long does something like that in a (maybe the most) security-critical piece of code in a product go unseen and uncorrected without it being a result of maliciousness or incompetence?

How many dopey errors like this would have to be inserted into how many products to guarantee that the vast majority of communications could be monitored for (lets say) 5-10 years? 50 errors in 15 products? This single error compromised all iPhones, all iPads, and all Macs.

This sort of strategy would be the most efficient way for the NSA to spend money that I've ever heard of it doing. If money isn't exchanged (the companies aren't being paid to compromise themselves) we don't even have the evidence trail that outed RSA, who sabotaged their products in an equally deniable way.

I'm with the people asking who did the commit that introduced the bug. I'd like to know if they had any intelligence connections.
I've been using one of their iPhone cases for my 5S and it's been really great. Everyone is always surprised when I tell them it's 3D printed- it definitely gets a lot of (good) attention. The case is also super light and non-invasive. Definitely like what they're doing!
You should check out eve (http://python-eve.org) - it's amazing for rapid prototyping (if the fact it requires Mongo isn't an issue).

I'm building an AngularJS + REST server using Eve for the server. It has saved me so much time that I'm putting my dev effort mainly into a comprehensive test suite because there's so little dev work to do (btw - I'm not the author, it's just the fastest framework I've found for developing REST APIs - and I've tried Django REST framework & tastypie).
This! Rule 2.

I sit in meetings weekly with mangers discussing issues that I know about the most but I can never get them to hear me out.
All of them except Norway have restricted the free education to EU/EEA citizens, I believe. University is still free in Norway for anyone of any citizenship, although even there there is some kind of requirement to prove ability to sustain yourself (might be possible through part-time jobs). Denmark, Finland, and Sweden have all introduced tuition fees for non-EU citizens, about €8k/yr in Denmark.

However I don't know what the situation is if you receive asylum. You might be treated as domestic for education purposes in that case, since it would be in the state's interest for people granted asylum to get an education and increase their employability.
"living" inherently favours those who can breathe - which means those who are already breathing, or from oxygen rich environments where they can be sure of finding new O2 molecules quickly. It favours those who can get air from tanks, which are very much old apparatuses. And it favours the kind of lungs that exhale quickly, whatever their other effects.
Pretty much every comment on every subject comes down to someone claiming that their ideas are truths, though, and not every comment gets downvoted so much.
SoDak has no state income tax, so perhaps there is some other benefit to the state.

That’s why I also said budgets need to be cut.
Closure under inverse is like the most important idea in math, physics and probability. Linear logic, constructive math, probability, quantum mechanics all have in common that they rely on closure under adjoint and norm which in turn give you closure under inverse.

I wrote something on the topic but it's very incomplete https://github.com/adamnemecek/adjoint
Yup. Subway time is super-powers time.
what's happened
"1. Derivatives trading wasn't new; they've been traded for a long time. And derivatives aren't inherently risky or evil. There's nothing mystical about them.
2. $88 trillion in notional value. Derivatives deals should net to zero."

As long as a reasonable amount of derivatives are created for the purposes of "legitimate hedging activities" (whatever that means) then that may indeed be the case.

However, as you create more and more derivatives ... as the value and volume of the derivatives increases beyond the value and volume of the underlying securities, they begin to distort the value and prices of the underlying securities. In the real world, where they affect real people.

The more you distort those underlying values and prices, the more violent the snapback is.

You may indeed be able to tie up the derivatives ecosystem into a tidy little box in theory, but real people get hurt when derivatives distort underlying prices. AIG and credit default swaps is a perfect (and very recent) example.
Uber is 15% cheaper than cabs in the market's their in. So you get your phone charged, a bottle of water, a nicer car, a lower price, no cards/cash or tips and you only wait a couple of minutes. Regardless of your location.

It also stops discrimination of location or profile (They can't say they don't go to X place or not pick you up).
At one time, I became interested in the Turing-completeness of sed, and I started working on primitives for flow control and function calls. Then, I came to my senses.
>If the US is nowhere near being an authoritarian police state, at what point will US become a authoritarian police state?

When it's too late to do anything about it.
Not really true. MongoDB natively supports sharding, multiple indexes, high availability, arrays, sub documents, array traversal, etc - all able to be accessed in your native language with get/set functionality (or via MQL if you want). While PostgreSQL is a really powerful database, the JSON support is really painful to program against.
This whole website is pretty much a sub-reddit. It wasn't really a joke either, more an observation.
Original Author. I wrote this app as a side project to fight for privacy, freedom of speech and human rights.

E2E encryption is not a new idea, but it is hard to find a easy to use app. So I took privatebin as backend, because it is widely available and feature rich, and build a UI on top of it.

I knew that this app may be used for other purposes, but we never ban the usage of fire because it can burn houses, right?

I like to hear your thoughts, comments.
I don’t think this sounds like an acqui-hire tbh. In that case they would pay you better than the 160k... In an acqui-hire they’d probably rather ask you to shut down your side-project...

1) Don’t look at the revenue but the profit. So take the 40k and deduct your personal time (e.g., 100 USD/hr) and the costs. Let’s say that leaves you at 20k. Mulitply with 25 for a conservative 500k valuation for your side-project.
2) What happens when they let you go? Do you get back the 100% stake? What happens if they merge it into another product and “yours isn’t making any more revenue”?

I might suggest the following: 500k for your side-gig vesting in salary/stock over 2-3 years (and guaranteed unless you do something evil). Plus your market rate salary.

As soon as you join them, revenue share doesn’t make any more sense because you don’t have control over the product any more. And should you be penalized because they screw it up?
At least one person noticed. Thank you.

Downvoters probably prejudged my political position from the observation. No hard feelings.
> I know they imposed some sanctions on individuals from traveling to the US but that was it

No, it was sanctions (asset freeze, bans on US entities doing business with them) plus visa bans prohibiting them from entering the US, not just “sanctions from traveling to the US”.

> and none were imposed on MBS.

That's pretty consistent with what the US in other cases, short of imminent war situations, the US tends not to directly sanction top leaders directly, sanctioning subordinates and particular state institutions.
Which is why I smile every time someone tells me that EVs are "more reliable" because they have "less moving parts". That might be true, but they also have vastly more components and structures, of all different sizes from cables down to nanometer features in silicon, that MUSTNT move, or it will fail.

How many cars are scrapped because they wore out mechanically, and how many are scrapped due to economically un-fixable electrical issues?
Don’t go do business with people who are insulted by your expectation to be paid well.

It is a tell.

You have been told they don’t want to pay you.

If you do business with them, don’t be surprised when you are not paid.

Warning you is how they will justify non-payment when it happens.

Not to you, but how they will justify it to themselves.

You want to do business with people who are happy that you are making good money. Business with people who want to make you rich. Good luck.
Oh, nice! I was thinking that this looked familiar; looks like DeOldify was submitted back in Nov 2018 (and the author left comments on HN!).

This. Postgres as a document db is more capable than mongodb.
I really don't have a feeling design systems are a hard sell unlike almost all other internal tools. It's the only internal tool I have seen that is consistently present at the vast majority of companies I have worked at.

I also don't think they are ever worth the investment.
When people start getting into meta-argument like "I never said $X" and "You're ignoring all my points", that's a clear marker of degeneration into flamewar, especially the tit-for-tat-spat variety. That, combined with the drift in the generic-nationalistic direction, is enough to count your comments as taking the thread further into flamewar. This is not a hard call. Just look at the number of generic hops it takes to get from "Apple redirects Google Safe Browsing traffic through proxy servers" all the way to "CCP doesn't allow United Nations inspectors". That is exactly how internet discussions become more repetitive, more predictable, and nastier. The basic principle of HN moderation is to try to nudge threads in the opposite direction to that. Lots more explanation about those things here if anyone cares:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

"Gaslighting", "suppress the conversation", "CCP" are red herrings. We don't care which high-order bit you've got set on your views. We care about the conversation as a whole. It would be just the same if you were arguing the opposite side. Actually I don't even bother figuring out which side people are on any more—the flamewar comments are basically interchangeable either way.
I'm not sure why you were downvoted - I vouched for your comment to bring it back (in fact, looking at your comment history it looks like almost all of your comments are dead).

I think you're right though--it does seem like they must have sold the passwords themselves. It's interesting to think about how you would sell access to an account if you wanted to.
>At the end the engine that compiles the mathematical expression to hardware is what matters,

This is becoming increasingly outdated as significant parts in scientific machine learning require parts to be written that don't simply compile to GPUs. Think, for example, when you mix a physics model, say for RF or some such, and deep learning to model parts of the function. In python, you cannot write the RF model because python is vastly too slow, so you're forced to write the RF model in something fast, like C/C++, then integrate that to python, then integrate that to your favorite tensor network, needing more languages than you can do immediately with Julia.

Deep learning is moving rapidly out of simply being a tensor engine, and being a tool in much larger problems, where many high performance pieces need developed. Julia is light years ahead of Python for these domains, and I cannot see Python ever catching up because it suffers from performance and/or multiple language problems to solve these.

If you've never learned about scientific machine learning - go read some or watch some videos. It's fascinating and growing rapidly.
The ways in which biases can be encoded in an algorithm are not trivial. The author takes pains to describe how the lossiness of MP3 encoding is audible. The codec's authors made aesthetic decisions, shaped by their own taste, to determine what sounds could be acceptably removed from the audio. That should be a significant point in almost any discussion of MP3. The author of this piece does not, however, challenge the technical merit of the codec, as you claim. Instead, its biases are simply acknowledged and plainly described.
it's disturbing how so many people in those GME threads are still waiting for the big short squeeze.
> Fiat isn't perfect, but at least it allows concentration of wealth to be countered by issuing more fiat money, even if too much of that goes to the rich.

This leads to greater concentration of wealth. Since people don’t seem to understand that, we have this feedback cycle where policy leads to concetration of wealth, which cause people to advocate policies that lead to further concentration of wealth, over and over again. People need to break the cycke by realizing that printing money causes assets (held by the rich) to appreciate, and wages (earned by everyone else) to decrease in real terms.
Why would anything have to be logged? Apple phones already do this and have done for years. With no phoning home.
That's a fair point in general, but I think that by the time FB acquired whatsapp the writing was in the wall and I feel that the founders probably knew where things were headed.

This is the timeline as I recall it (and from quickly googling a couple of articles), feel free to correct me if I'm getting things wrong:

2012: this article

2014: FB acquires whatsapp

2016: Whatsapp becomes free (drops the $1 purchase fee)

2018: Jan Koun and Brian Acton leave FB

What are you talking about? Unless they just recently changed it, they allow uploads for me, and I have uBlock origin plus Ghostery running.
These are AI explanation methods. They belong to the toolbox which would include LIME, Shapley values...etc. Input saliency is a gradient-based explanation method.
If you mean able to damage the holder, you'd need to triple-check they can't be unintentionally activated or activated by untrusted parties. Even if just a self-destruct, you'd need to double-check. Bricking the entirety of Congress' laptops have a lot of fun and profit potential.
I don’t think it’s too much of a conspiracy theory to think that some foreign intelligence operative might have sensed a opportunity on Wednesday.
This reads a bit like "why you shouldn't use clojure" to me. I'd expect to leave some performance on the table when writing idiomatic code in a dynamic language with immutable datatypes, but a function that's already specialized to arrays, as the name indicates, taking 3 orders of magnitude too much time? 1-10 microseconds to say "get me the length of this java array, and BTW this is a java array"? What on earth is going on there?

Edit: So I just ran the author's (alength (long-array 5)) (with the indirection to foil type inference) and got 10µs mean execution time in criterium. By contrast here's some roughly equivalent python:

In [5]: a = array.array('l', [5])
In [6]: timeit len(a)
32.9 ns ± 0.105 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000000 loops each)

More or less exactly the same with a plain python list. So clojure's type specialized function manages to be 300 times slower than the generic version in freaking *python*. In fairness "count" is better if still terrible (4x slower than python).

If C++ was an octopus made by stapling extra legs to a dog, it's now just a giant pile of legs, and nobody's heard a bark in decades.

Lecturer at a small university.
then consider me called out. For what it's worth, I don't think you are being particularly pleasant either. That's just disliking each other, and I'm OK with that.

> For example, you made a recent comment talking about how almost all software developers are horrible at their jobs and that a small set of gatekeeper senior engineers should guard all code review.

For what it's worth it was something of an ironic joke related to the idea that "half of all people are below average at X", but also pointing at the idea that the industry gets better as the individuals who make it up get better at what they do.

I support the idea that people who are better at a job should help to educate others. I try to humble myself to better engineers than myself.
Distancing maybe but masks are still a pretty rare sight. Mask compliance in the US is on a different scale, it's not even comparable.
No, it is inefficient for all team members to be tied into the priorities of and in communication with all other relevant parts of the organization. Specialization is good.

I often feel like people started swinging the pendulum away from manager-as-micromanaging-supervisor, and just letting it keep swinging to managers-are-pointless, and failed to notice when it swung past the useful managers-as-support-staff equilibrium point between those extremes.
it wasn’t just being nice, but rather being frank, objective, and trusting. give people the information we have as we have it and with the multidimensional confidence we have in that information, and trust that people will broadly, but not perfectly uniformly (that’d be fascist), do the right thing.
Donations go to Wikimedia, so I'd assume the funding gets split among all their projects[0]. If you take a look at, say, Wikibooks right now, you'll see the same banner there.

Sometimes that's just as bad. Often the questions I see that are closed as "duplicates" are not actually duplicates, just closely related. The answer to one is not always the answer to another.

I don't have an SO example on hand, but consider this Sci-Fi StackExchange question:

http://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/79363/why-was-the-r...

The question is "Why does Sauron need the Ring to control Middle-Earth?" The correct answer is that he doesn't; he can control Middle-Earth without it, his victory is inevitable, but needs it to remove the only possible method his enemies have of overcoming him. After being correctly answered, the question was flagged as a duplicate of "What was the point of Sauron making the One Ring?" which is a very different question and comes with different answers.

This is, in my experience, extremely common across the StackExchange network. In that example, the "duplicate" question was answered before being closed, but that's not always the case.

Add to that list heart disease. I'm sure most people know someone that could have died from heart problems prior to cancer becoming the cause of death much later in life. Also medical advances that prevent complications and in some cases death from diabetes.

So how do we preserve an ecosystem and prevent what I think you are outlining is a bimodal distribution between a vast majority of cheap low cost games and a few high production value games, is that correct?
> you incentivize users to switch

Lot of startups do this but have pretty high CaC. In the Sushi/Uniswap case, users were already crypto-native. In the twitter case, the majority of users are not. There's just going to be a bigger barrier than in the former case. Sure, I think if you spend money some people will switch, but it's much less clear to me how much money you'd need.
LFP doesn't have as high cells densities, however on a packaging level (due to their higher stability) next gen LFP seems to be on par with this gen Li-Ion. Also quick charging and cold resistance of LFP is a big improvement.

I would rather see Li-S be used in planes where inspections are common unlike cars.

For grid storage neither is ideal, as you really want to decouple (dis)charging from capacity. Subterranean normal pressure hydrogen storage (using geological structures like salt caves) or flow batteries seem more promising for that reason.
Yea, different strokes. Sunder looks great. Thanks. Downloaded it for future needs.
