I started turning books into cloze flash cards. it forces me to pay attention and I can read in small chunks. If book is really really good I would retype it. If its really really good it becomes memory palace. But this is my passion and of course everyone cant do that. So try audiobooks and take long walks. Also it is really healthy to avoid screens 60 minutes before sleep and reading paper is nice way to do that.
The brand new local pizza bar is held to the same standards as McDonald’s. If you can’t afford to do business safely and legally than you can’t afford to do business. Either scale down your plans or come up with a new idea.
Interesting that their excuse is basically:

"They weren't using us that much, so we don't see the problem."

Edit: the confirmed suspension is only one of their many services, so maybe the HN title's a bit misleading?
Can you explain how V isn't going to make a difference? The statement that adding more people to the trades is going to have a crowding out effect strikes me as economically naive.

On the surface it seems like you're arguing that there is not enough room in the trades for more tradesman. However adding a good chunk of people to the trades will increase the velocity of money in the form of more people spending more dollars based on their higher salaries. The alternative is that the demand for trades is fixed, which doesn't make much sense to me.
> not all calories have equal effects on the body

Do you have a citation? Bearing in mind that food calorie labels are already adjusted for the average thermic effect of different macronutrients.
In all this discussion of HFCS and other things, this is the chart I'm shocked nobody ever mentions: http://thesocietypages.org/graphicsociology/2011/04/11/nutri....

Calories per capita per day is up from 2168 in 1970 to 2673 in 2008. If you're at maintenance weight, that extra 500 calories per day will cause you to gain about a pound a week until you reach equilibrium again ~50 pounds heavier.

There are examples. DC is one. The development centered in the Kendall Square area of Cambridge is another. However, I'm not sure that most cities have the mass transit infrastructure to allow people to commute via mass transit out of the city. Some tech companies have established city offices but they're usually either startups or they're satellite offices.

EV battery capacity hasn't exactly been skyrocketing either. When the Tesla Model S was introduced in 2012 the largest battery option was 85 kWh. For the 2015 model year it got a 90 kWh option and 100 kWh for 2016. Today 100 kWh remains the most you can get.
Sorry for not mentioning your favourite coin, please don't be offended. The Ethereum roadmap is exciting, so is the BCH one, I just wanted to list some examples to make it clear that Bitcoin itself does not have much interesting going on.
There's that, and also visiting a speed test site is an indicator that a particular user is more sensitive to speed than the general user base (and perhaps considering jumping to another ISP). It absolutely makes business sense to prioritize traffic to users who pay more attention.
Many modern FPGAs now include dedicated logic for config SRAM "scrubbing." This logic continuously checks config frame checksums to identify upsets. These can then be fixed in real-time either using the error correction properties of the checksum technique, or from the non-volatile config memory (typically NOR flash). It's also important to note that only a subset of the SRAM config bits are critical for a given application. Usually this is a small percentage of the overall array.

https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/application_not...

If even higher levels of reliability are needed, there are rad-hard-by-design FPGA families (e.g. Xilinx Virtex 5QV). These have a special config SRAM cell that has more charge storage sites than a conventional SRAM cell. It is less area efficient than a conventional SRAM cell, but geometry of the charge storage sites ensures that a single cosmic ray can't flip the state of a majority of them. Essentially the cell can self-correct, no scrubbing required.
Love this, really great approach.

I always wondered if one could start "tweeting" by dropping messages directly into the Bitcoin blockchain. Lots of people are very invested in it, and forking the blockchain is a lot of work and is unlikely to happen causally for the purpose of censorship.
Signal is open source. In any of these hypotheticals, it can be forked.
Right? They just spent the last few months talking about how their opponents are radical socialists, and now they want the government to go regulate what speech private companies amplify or don’t.

It’s not OK to describe shooting police in the head, lighting them on fire, burning down precincts, firebombing Federal courthouses, occupying city halls, and cordoning off entire city blocks with armed insurgents as “begging officials to acknowledge a perspective.”

I don't buy this. Who is they?

The same can be done the other way around.

For benefits and worker protections, like unions? You're a snowflake and don't want to work

This is a meaningless exercise.

We have multiple levels of government, we have a courts system, a legislature, and an executive branch, all directly or indirectly elected by the people. I'm not going to make any excuses for anyone for threatening the foundation of everyone's way of life here.

Was an early adopter of AKS (after using the equally awful ACS) and wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Remember being on engineering calls on a Friday evening with Microsoft engineers trying to explain the Kube master was completely broken. Volumes took 15 minutes to provision. Awful.

> For fund manager Katie Potts, setting mandatory quotas for women on corporate boards of technology startups is a bad idea. Not because she’s against diversity, but because she says there just aren’t enough suitable candidates.

This argument always appears when discussing improving diversity: e.g. fewer women engineers so it makes sense to hire fewer women, women not as a good football players as men so it makes sense to pay them less, etc.

My counter argument is that you must break the cycle somehow. If you don't take a hit now and put more women on the boards (even though they might not be as good now as men) then the pool of such women will always be smaller than men. Include women now and they might not be as good but they will inspire the next generation and will catch up eventually. Women are second class people for literally thousands of years and now we want to make it right but we're not willing to pay even a small price?

> In this case, especially for smaller companies already battling bigger companies for the best candidates, it’s not easy to find good non-execs

This sounds like a separate problem requiring its own solution - any extra regulation benefits big companies.

EDIT:

multiple replies are questioning "inspiring the next generation". I'm talking about inspiring small girls to choose IT in school, so that there is a big pool of women in tech. That's where the problem is fundamentally but you can't just fix it by spreading flyers in schools. Girls get motivated by seeing successful women.
Once I found out about it, this was what pushed me down the road towards de-googling. I keep the Gmail account around for legacy contacts (had it for like 15 years now?!), but I forward it all to my new, independent email account.

In theory I like the idea of grepping mail for genuinely useful things. But I don't trust Google to do it. Or any corporation.
Isn't the middle ground what we have in the US, regulated utilities?
Desktop logging is mostly used for hourly projects. I think it is possible (or used to be) to use logging for fixed projects as well, but there is little value here.

For what you describe, hourly billing will not work anyway. Some kind of fixed type of payment, or perhaps retainer + hourly billing for actual typing/research would be more appropriate. I think, both can be setup on Upwork (as two separate projects)
These cultural norms might be less widespread in Italy, Greece, Spain, but I would say they're closer to being norms in those countries than outside of Europe. Especially with younger parents. They're certainly norms in most of the non-anglophone EU.

That said, I guess a lot of that could potentially be connected to outsized anglophone/US influence in developed countries.
Maybe the US has been intentionally hampering its privatisable services to make the case for privatisation?
From the perspective of the Lindy principle it is weird.

I have an eighteen-month old child and have been reading a lot about child rearing since my wife got pregnant.

It’s taboo to say this, and I’m sorry if this offends anyone, but I suspect that a lack of adult attention in the first three years of life is a principal factor in the rising autism rates we’re seeing in modern economies. This would explain why autism seems to “cluster” in upper class homes, where the parents work nonstop.

It turns out this hypothesis was put forth by Kanner in the 50’s and is as old as autism itself, but it was rejected for political reasons and it is not refuted by the science.

I first heard this hypothesis from the lectures of Gabor Maté, and it makes a lot of sense to me. If you look at what autism treatment actually is, it’s all just play therapy where you give a child attention and teach them that if they bid for an adult’s attention they will respond empathetically. This treatment only makes sense if they didn’t already learn to do this as an infant.

don't forget the 'sixth sense' - there are three little accelerometers in each of your ears, and cool little feedback control system that keeps your eyes constantly cancelling out the tiny variations in position that your head constantly undergoes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_system

afaik its the only sense which doesn't primarily detect electromagnetic effects.
That interpretation doesn't seem to make much sense though, because there would be no point in specifying the 10ms at all - it means nothing, and doesn't put any restrictions on anyone.
So if jammers are out of the question, what about detectors?
It's only scary if you read sensationalist BS and don't bother to educate yourself on the facts.

Nuclear power is the cleanest way to produce large scale energy. It's also one of the safest ways. In the entire lifetime of using nuclear power we've had a grand total of 3 accidents, and even in this case, it was a 50 year old power-plant that survived an earthquake several times more powerful than it was ever designed for.
These sound a lot like arguments from ignorance. "We don't know for sure, therefore it must be true!" The dash cam videos are an excellent counterargument. If someone is lucky enough to film an alien on grainy blurry film, why is nobody lucky enough to get one on an HD dashcam?
If my understanding is correct, it is a bit more complicated.

The magistrate with authority in a district may only issue a warrant for a remote search if:

* The crime investigated occurred at least partially in the district.
* The device location was hidden by any mean (vpn, tor, etc.).

This doesn't say anything about obtaining warrants automatically if someone is using VPN or Tor.

This is crazy talk. While I'm certainly not saying that Objective-C is perfect, or that Apple shouldn't do more, to say they've done absolutely nothing to evolve the language since the 80s is flat out incorrect. Look at blocks, ARC, object-literals, etc.
The article also misses the point: Where might we be if some of the 'usual celebrity dropouts' hadn't dropped out?

I don't think the article misses the point. He never says Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg should never have dropped out. He's just saying that dropping out should be rare. For the vast majority of people, it's not the right thing to do, financially. The "right people" will ignore all the discouragement and drop out anyway. People like Sergey Brin & Larry Page will drop out, with or without Thiel's investment.

"It's better to discourage than to encourage dropping out, so that it's done only for compelling reasons."
College is broken.

Anyone who paid and went for 4 years, knows its an inefficient use of time and money.

I'm a girl, back in school to study comp sci, and I actually agree with you.

If I get hired, I want to know it's because my tech-fu is the best. I don't ever want it to be because I hit the right combo of nice rack and not totally incompetent.

I think there's a fundamental problem which is resulting in a lack of women in tech, but the useful discussion isn't about women in tech, it's about how we incorporate tech and business into the education system. By the time we're hiring or finding a partner, gender should be a non-issue. The fact that less women than men are going into the most interesting, lucrative and potentially challenging facet of society is an interesting conundrum though.

For what it's worth, I'm a beer-loving, bipolar, ADHD human with ladyparts and mathematically pleasing proportions. :P
The default state of a human is an agnostic. If you are born and nobody tells you the Good Word, you live your entire life without religion. If someone comes to you one day and tells you a man lives in the clouds with a deep-seated interest in your sex life, the onus is then on you to convince the agnostic. The burden of proof is on you.

If I told you the story of our lord and savior Sauron, could you prove to me it's not true? Could you prove to me any of the Lord of the Rings didn't happen?

We don't generally require proving a negative.

It's not a secret at all. Several democratic senators are in favor of Puerto Rico statehood. (As is the territory of Puerto Rico, but putting that aside...) Several democratic senators are in favor of immigration amnesty, usually in the form of "squatter's rights" or DREAM. Several democratic senators are in favor of less-restrictive immigration policies, essentially to reduce illegal immigration by making legal immigration easier and at capacity: Legalizing the status quo, in other words. These are all defensible policy positions on their own merits.

I'm too cynical to believe that these aren't favored in part because they would help their chances are re-election, but it's also not necessary, as a republican government and a majority of republican state legislatures could not stop the entire federal government flipping democrat.
I completely agree with you. At the very least it could be a feature you opt in to. Would help a ton with the issue of fragmentation as well.
I don't think you understand spectre. Defending against a single POC is not the same thing as defending against this class of side channel vulnerabilities.

Also your references to flushing caches and updating the kernel underlines to me that you don't know what you're talking about.
How it could be that half of the population is deplatformed and censored when the most popular media(Fox) in that country caters for that demographic, had elected a president and the president was in power for 4 full years when the events happened, the events were organised by the said president?

What else these people demand? Not being called out for their behaviour?

What kind of platform they are looking for? What exactly could be changed to de-victimise those people?

In Common Lisp, classes are mostly specialization tags so you don't have to redefine them all that much. However, being able to redefine your functions and other code on the fly is amazing (i.e. make a request to a REST endpoint, get an exception in the debugger, modify and reload just a couple functions and then restart the request handler without ever going back to the browser/Postman and re-issuing the request)
That's why I'm still sceptical of Signal. It's free as well, paid for by donations but still. At the end of the day I'm not the one paying directly for the service I'm using.

This would have to be adjusted to the fact that most people is not usually in a position to easily kill this many people, while pilots are in a mostly daily basis.
> It seems clear that in this case the co-pilot's actions were voluntary, but what if a co-pilot were to have a medical emergency while (s)he's alone in the cockpit? Would the pilot be able to re-enter?

That's what I thought, too. Does the pilot also (always?) have a key to the cockpit door in his pocket (risk, because than a terrorist could steal it while the pilot goes to toilet) so that he could reenter the cockpit? So for me a plausible explanation is the the co-pilot had a medical emergency while alone in the cockpit. Now comes the question:

Would pressing the descent button in this case perhaps even increase the chance of survival (in this case the co-pilot was doing a quick-witted decision) or not?

What if the plane flies out of that "envelop", where the computer can't make the correct judgement to control the plane?
You're right that Sizzle was the class of selector engines, and if the story ended there (with jQuery as a DOM library) then jQuery wouldn't be listed on many resumes. By publishing `jQuery.prototype' to `$.fn', pushing the idea of "plugins", and by encouraging DOM operations as the main extension point in application design, jQuery made itself into something more. The brittleness of this approach is proven by how calling jQuery UI component methods requires an additional level of dispatch. This way of doing things has no legacy. It's considered an antipattern now, and a "mess of jQuery" is a known form of code debt. I don't think it's a matter of whether this style "fits your needs" anymore.
"Beaches and rivers belong to all of us."

This seems like an arbitrary distinction. What makes you think this and not something like "all geographic features belong to all of us"? What makes beaches and rivers so special that rights suddenly don't apply?
He was also among the first - maybe the first - to propose time-sharing and helped build one of the earliest time-sharing systems.
I went to school in the 90-00s. We started off with log-table sheets at our high school. I bought a Casio FX-991ms at some point of time in the university. I still love that machine. It has moved along with me across thousands of miles. It works perfectly even after a decade.
> I don't see college kids being encouraged to drop out and make a fortune in tech.

I consider this a common theme of this very site and its owner: Y Combinator. They encourage people to drop out of school for their companies, and celebrate their stories of success. At least investors are pushing this narrative.
Used, working, TI 83-Plus calculators are fairly cheap on eBay. Saw several for $27 to $35, shipped.
Making coffee is a good analogy for any kind of hardware electronics development! Some things need to be planned out ahead of time like the overall mechanical design, but other things probably should be iterated quickly, maybe by using pre-made development kits and breadboards instead of fully designed circuit boards for initial firmware.

As the article said at the end, it all basically boils down to "it depends..." :)
Wtf do you need a calculator to demonstrate conceptual understanding in statistics for?
I didn't have that side effect on Lamotrigine. That was my 4th drug for no seizures. I'm on 300mg/day with it. Was at 400mg, but if I take too much I get hit with something I'd call total body dull pain where I can't do much other than sit there in a ball and wait for my body to get rid of enough of it. Based on the other comments, that's a lot more than for bipolar doses.
If the spectrum is otherwise used for cancers like advertising then I wouldn't consider interfering with it to be a bad thing.

In addition, I don't think these "pirate" operators have any nefarious intentions and wouldn't wish to actually interfere with any station (as it would be counter-productive to their own listeners, since the existing station would scramble their own broadcasts too) so I am not sure this has ever been a real problem.
I understand what you're trying to say. You're saying that conceptually there is such a thing as being "responsible" or "irresponsible" about disclosure, and I think that's true!

The problem is that (charitably) the term of art (or uncharitably, brand) "responsible disclosure" is attached to some very specific norms, including "not releasing vulnerabilities without a patch" and "giving vendors a commercially reasonable amount of time to create a patch" and "working closely with vendors to coordinate that time window" and "redacting or carefully reducing POC code", which are not themselves universal or even generally "responsible".

They're commercially responsible, to be sure! But it should not be an obligation of unpaid third party researchers to expend any effort whatsoever to be responsive to a vendor's commercial concerns. It's a nice thing to do, and some people are just preternaturally nice to vendors, and that's usually fine, but there's nothing deontologically "responsible" about that.
