I think it's supposed to be ironic
I'm a little disappointed by the cynical comments. This is exactly the type of innovation we should be encouraging. Dismissing it by saying "It won't work," or "It's next to impossible," doesn't help anyone and doesn't move us forward.
Even if DuckDuckGo did get blocked eventually, it could easily switch to using a separate service. If Bing ever blocked it off, the code could be slightly altered to use Google instead.

> A plurality of Gawker Media passwords are six characters long

A plurality of brute forced Gawker Media passwords are six characters long. Maybe this statistic is valid for all 1.5 million passwords, but that's quite a lot of extrapolation. Taking the easiest 10% of passwords to brute force and basing the data off that?

They mention this fact on the paragraph prior, and then seem to forget about it: "In both cases, the datasets only include passwords that could be decoded and aren’t necessarily representive [sic] of all users."
The only major reason to use 2 instead of 3 is library support, however a lot of good libraries still aren't updated to Python3, such as the google-api-python-client, gevent, scrapy, the list is getting smaller every day though. There are a few other reasons, but they're pretty uncommon/advanced, and not something new users will encounter [0].

Python 2 gets many of Python 3's features back-ported (they can be enabled with an import statement), which is really convenient when working with 2, but it also helps contribute to the lack of a migration from 2 to 3.

Python 2 and 3 are very similar though, and most projects can even run under either 2 or 3 with the exact same codebase. So it doesn't take much effort (or none at all) to move a project from 3 down to 2 while still in early development if requirements necessitate.

[0] One example that comes to mind is a difference in the way str.format() works. In Python 3, strings are unicode text objects, in Py2, they are bytestrings. Some projects used str.format() in Py2 to format binary data rather than text, which breaks when moving to 3. Porting a compatible change to Py3 has been rejected several times because of the complexities in implementation, as well as it being unidiomatic to the language. See:

> Most of the parts are printed from a PLA with a low amount of metal-fill, which I found to have exceptional opacity

So, I'm guessing that they wanted the keys to have a bit more weight that the metal-filled PLA would provide? I'm not sure why the opacity of the material matters so much, but the author mentions that a few times.

Edit: nope, not weight... actual light blocking was needed.

From: https://github.com/JesusFreke/lalboard/wiki/Printing-tips-&-...

>Filament choice

> For the clusters and keys, you want as opaque of a material as you can get. Try printing a small 2mm thick solid sheet, and hold a flashlight up to the back. Ideally, you won't see any light leakage through the print at all. I tried a few different filaments that I had on hand, and by far the most opaque was some 5% copper filled PLA by Gizmo Dorks.

After reading this, I think the issue is the optical switches that are used for the keys. Because they are using an IR LED/phototransistor switch mechanism, the material needs to be as opaque as possible to prevent light from coming through and activating the switches accidentally.
this is an ideological argument devoid of meaningful goals to help residents and create a strong economy.

who cares, on the face of it, what size the government is? size is not the goal, it's at best a poor proxy metric for (in-)efficiency, which itself is a proxy metric for how much we help people via public goods (and thereby the whole economy).

rent-seeking around wic is a rounding error next to property & capital rent-seeking overall. moreover, the right place to place blame (and seek redress) is with the rent-seekers themselves, not the assistance recipients (or the associated governmental programs) being exploited by them.
> If you have a 7 figure loss you most likely had at least 7 figures in the bank.. not really the typical "simple man".

I do not think this is usually the case on WSB, where people regularly show off trading on margin several times larger than their total account size :)

Even without margin, it's not uncommon to see people freely admitting they put everything they have into a single position (and mods happily verify it).
The air blades work quite well; you can actually dry your hands in a few seconds instead of holding it underneath some lukewarm air for 30+ seconds. I never even use them as they're borderline pointless and so damn loud (I dry my hands on my trousers if there are no towels), but airblades work well enough for me to us them.

I can't speak to the other products as I never used them, but air blades really are a big improvement IMO.

Concur (an enterprise expense tracking app) used to require you enter the city of the expense you were tracking. It provided you with an alphabetical list of every city they knew about in a dropdown. Haven't used the software in the better part of a decade, so hopefully it's gotten better.

It's a matter of degree. Pissing in the ocean changes the PH, however the question would be, to what degree? The question isn't if humans impact climate, it's how much do they impact the climate. The answer to that is far from 'settled science.'
I love the 'Goto Symbol (in Project)...' feature, but I really wish the input would be populated with text you have selected in the editor. This way you could jump to a function/whatever underneath the cursor by doing something like: Cmd-D, Cmd-(Shift-)R, Enter - instead of copy-pasting, or retyping the symbol. I added this to the mass of suggestions in the ST forum, but I guess it has been lost or rejected :(

I love using atom, and sublime is nice but I haven't found a reason to purchase it and switch over yet.

Synthetic CDOs are actually more clever than that.

They solve the problem of me wanting mortgage bonds, and you wanting insurance on loans. We both want to take opposite positions (me long, you short). Without a synthetic CDO, we are unable to trade - I'll be trying to buy home loans from WaMu and you'll be talking to the AIG sales desk.
I think this is just one example of the difference between European and American feminism.

Feminist movements in the USA, the country where “all men are created equal”, have been most successful where they fought for formal equality between men and women—antidiscrimination laws, getting more women into traditionally male professions, punishing sexual harrassment, and so forth.

In Europe, which has a much stronger culture of trade unionism, feminism has been more focused on advancing the interests of women as a class (in the same way that a railroad workers’ union would advance the interest of railroad workers as a class). So Europe leads the US in access to abortion, subsidized child care, quotas for women on political-party lists, and so forth.

I’m not sure which of these approaches is better but they do lead to different outcomes.

It's almost as if we're going back to directories.
We could talk to them. We could listen to them. Chances are at least one side would have something useful to learn from the other. (Think about how much we know that we didn't 100 years ago. Unless this hypothetical other intelligent civilization, having developed independently of ours, happens to be within 100 years of progress of us in every respect, someone's going to learn something.)

> In India

Wait, what about in the united states? Sure colleges may have great professors, but what about our lower education which people go through for 80% of their life's education, for many its 100%. Those people are underpaid, and have no incentives to be good, only to get good test pass rates from students on mandatory tests.

I went though highschool getting high 90s in English, and at start of college realized my writing is absolutely atrocious. It took one brilliant seasoned professor drilling us in thinking "right" when it comes to writing to break us out of our old shitty habits. The same happened in math, and I had a professor who just made math enjoyable and applicable to life. Compared to highschool and before... I just knew it, I was good at understanding it, so I just aced it all, it was just numbers and information. There was no interest sparked until college.

Now I am looking for schools for my daughter. And honestly I am looking for those that pay teachers well and have no long-term contracts. That means one thing: perform well or die. Its like programming, if you only hire programmers for prices nobody wants to work at, you will get the bottom of the barrel who could not succeed, so why think they will make your company succeed?
Hey looks very nice! Do you have/will you provide RSS or an API to get at this data? I would love to include it in a small side project (mobile app for kid-friendly activities and restaurants in NYC), of course with proper crediting/linking, etc.
You are right on the money -- I had that very quote in mind as I was writing (gotta love the Marx brothers). You're also right about the lack of code reviews. I've been able to sneak in a few things that would probably be frowned upon. But there's a limit to how much I can pad my timesheets to hide extra things (though I say this as I've wasted... how much time? ...here today), and the kind of refactoring that would make it possible to add tests to our mix of classic ASP spaghetti with a smattering of C#, webforms, etc., would definitely not go unnoticed.

But I offer excuses. You're totally right about this and it's what I need to do to stay sane while I look elsewhere. It's either that or compulsively read HN whenever I get the chance.
Counterpoints:

You love it — but you're not great at

But you're probably driven enough to find out what needs improvement, and you apply the advice given and the processes pointed out to you.

You're skilled at your passion — but hate the work that surrounds it.

Then you probably don't "love" it, do you? Or maybe you do love it, but your environment sucks. Change your environment.

You're too emotionally attached.

My apologies - the example I gave was a poor one, but I thought the point was clear. Obviously it wasn't.

Suppose instead I give you records of an unknown type, and a function that compares them. Now interpolation search doesn't work and you have to do something either simpler, or more complex.
You just need more numbers/sources. Intuition is a limited tool, especially in physics.

According to this ( http://www.calctool.org/CALC/other/games/depth_press ) the pressure would be around 15 MPa (this isn't hard to calculate by hand either). Consider that the mud/oil pushes 15 MPa, and water the same: that gives 30 MPa of purely compressive stress. Concrete could take this much ( http://www.cement.org/basics/concretebasics_faqs.asp ), and steel even more easily ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensile_strength -- if I'm not mistaken, steel behaves roughly the same in compression and in tension).
awesome, I'd love stuff like this. And theres even a couple near me!
Because

1.- speakers do not need to know how to record their stuff and send it by some means.

2.- There is no need of somebody putting them all together before broadcasting.

As far as I understand, both processes are automated so that speakers just open the web app and record, and everything is ready on time.

Maybe it’d be a nice feature for services like Streamyard, allowing to introduce recorded videos in live events.
What we call Yoga in the west is mostly appropriation. The rest is misunderstanding because the concept does not fit in thinking western minds.

Dyson focuses on over-engineering and clever-engineering. Sometimes those things get in the way of what is practical, best, or even useful.

But I am quite fond of my dyson upright and handheld vacuums. Their fans and other things seem more like novelties to me, but that doesn't make them bad, they just are what they are. Expensive and neat, but not optimal if you want to chase a metric or price optimum.
LinkedIn is like every large internet gathering (Reddit, Facebook, Youtube, etc): 80% is a sea of thoughtless garbage, 15% is trivial but entertaining, and the remaining 5% is genuinely useful information and functionality that didn't exist 15 years ago. The stuff the article points out--hilariously--is the equivalent of browsing r/politics (or r/wallstreetbets the past 2 weeks).

For useful 5% LinkedIn my principles are:

- I unfollow all companies and people so the newsfeed is totally empty.

- I don't post, like, follow, or any other kind of interaction

- I add everyone I meet professionally (school, work, networking, etc) immediately after meeting them.

- I keep my profile updated with essentials only (pictures, work history, etc).

This has some nice benefits that are hard to replicate:

- In the event I need to reach out to that one person I used to work with, for whatever reason, I have a way to reach them without ever having to get personal contact info like an email address or phone number.

- If I need to put a name to a face for someone in a professional network, I can do a glance through LinkedIn. I think everyone appreciates when someone takes the time to remember you, so this is really valuable.

- The occasional "what is that one friend doing 5-10 years later". Just the other day I was browsing alumni from my school and saw a friend I haven't seen in about 10 years. Turns out, we both changed careers and went into software engineering!
Set this chart to "all" and tell me that this price movement is not a bubble. There is no earthly reason for why a "BitCoin" is worth $47,459.66 as of this post.

Cryptocurrency adoption in 3rd world countries like Nigeria, Vietnam, and the Philippines is not a good thing. It's actually really sad, because it means they cannot rely on or trust their country's currency. Therefore, they are forced to place bets in a volatile and dangerous game to keep their life savings. If Bitcoin or Ethereum or Dogecoin go bust, they will still lose everything, because there is no trust, recourse, or regulation tolerated in a decentralized system. Well, not much worse than their home country's currency, I guess.
> Car and Driver only got 200 highway miles on their Model 3

That's only highway miles... EPA, WLTP and NEDC efficiency tests are highway and city driving. They are standardized to control as much variables as possible. Which is fundamentally essential to anyone who understands the scientific method.

> Percentage of claimed range achieved: 78% for the Tesla Model 3

Same with the other cars on the lineup. The only one that was a clear winner was the Hyundai Kona, at the expense of lackluster performance and driving dynamics.
Your argument from incredulity doesn't make what I say less true. Maybe my language was a bit strong, but there's no denying if somebody can freely make more of something you value, then they're gaining from your use of said valuable.

No problem! Again, I'm just some internet person who happened to listen to some lectures and did some reading, so my take might be a bit off. But I find this stuff fascinating.

I've seen Adobe do quite a few security announcements over the years but I've never actually seen any of the exploits in action or explained. I'm really curious how serious these exploits really are and if they are actually practical (or more theoretical). Any references greatly appreciated.
> Open source is designed by programmers, for programmers. And we are weird.

As a programmer, I like programs like this, because I am weird.

But Ubuntu and Firefox and Android are not actually designed for programmers, and that's why they suck for us too. They're designed by programmers, but condescendingly for hypothetical users, with decisions steered by ideological freetard wankery.

This kind of software suck if you're a programmer, and they suck if you just want to use them. They only end up being good for what I pejoratively call 'power users', the asshats with an inflated confidence in their abilities to mouse around clicking through wizards, tweaking for its own sake. They're the ones that install themes, participate in user communities, and make everything suck.
As a netflix subscriber, I want to say that their likelihood of achieving these goals is surprisingly obtainable despite all of the threats that they described. I pay nine dollars a month and get to watch a physical DVD about every three days, which in my opinion is a fair price. Add to this the streaming service and it is a great deal. As they mentioned, expanding the hardware/platforms that the streaming service is available on is important. I would like to see them make this priority number one, and I think that it would be in their best interest to do so.

The most realistic scenario I can think of where that would be possible is if a kidnapper demands that you pay them some huge quantity. You both meet up, you send them the transaction, they drop off the kid and leave, and then it turns out to have been a blockchain fork and you keep all the money.
