> Yet you clearly second guess and misunderstand my intentions

I can only go off of what you put in plaintext.

> The real problem is the threat vector

So, explain to me the threat vector. If we have a threat vector that is substantiated by, "is Russian" then I think we have a problem. If we have a threat vector of, "Government vets first order software dependencies, but not the second order and soft dependencies of software vendors" then we have something more akin to analysis.

It took Kaspersky being affiliated with, cooperating (and serving) the FSB in order for it to be banned, not because it was established by Russians.
The "gain traction" part requires more care to assert, it's not just something worse getting made that ensures this. Bad is just bad, and so sometimes worse is not better ;-). What RPG described was good-enough but worse in New Jersey vs. MIT sense, not the cathedral or Fabergé egg: the farmer-hack from Murray Hill. Good enough + "Who's on first" and iteration win.
> Hazardous material does not become hazardous waste if you can legitimately sell/ship it off the site as a worthwhile product instead. Otherwise if you need to truly discard excess (even prime chemical assets then become a liability) you need to not only usually pay, but bump your paperwork and liability up from merely dangerous goods to full waste documentation requirements.

This is what I meant. For a small organization I would expect a lot of small volume experimental products that are not exactly known in composition combined with perhaps some rinse acetone or other solvents.

Have you encountered an example where this works? I've done consulting for startups in exchange for a fume hood before, so I guess it's not that out there. It's much harder to imagine doing this for a big hazardous waste site, but maybe?

Thanks for the idea, I definitely won't be trying to do that but maybe there could be a symbiotic thing going on there. Probably a lot easier to do that with a university somehow? A national lab will be too stuck up to accept hazardous waste or advice, but maybe a university would hire you part time to work for them while letting you use the space for your own project.
Mine was also a BCI processing platform actually (OpenViBE).
I would have assumed that no-code tools would have actually shined with weird non-linear dataflows since they’re usually all graph based.

Kind of a shame really since having a dependency solver as core part of the language structure sounds really cool.
Maybe they didn't think they needed to. Before a few months ago, you didn't yank someone off your network because you didn't like their politics. (yea yea, terms of service something or other)
If you can't respond to bad things in a good way, please don't respond at all; adding more badness only makes things worse.

"Good" in this context refers to the expected value of the subthread the comment leads to, as described here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....

We're particularly trying to avoid the internet callout/shaming culture here because it leads to more bad things; please don't practice that here.
My OCD simply refuses to allow me to write it that way. I also tend to write SQL in lowercase which is apparently semi-controversial.
> ...concision

Wrapping up important concepts under good names is clearly a good idea. But on the other end of the spectrum, factoring out a single line from 2 methods and giving it a bad name does far more harm than good. Probably 90% of DRY I come across is this bad kind, I would guess because refactoring for better semantic clarity takes much more effort than just factoring out the common stuff under a different name. I think this downside doesn't get nearly enough airtime as it should.
Personally I think VS Code is the epitome of the evolution of the ~~Windows~~desktop UI, and it’s one of my favorite UIs ever.
If google has so many A players then why are so many of the services in a poor state? You could point to any google service, outside of drive/docs etc., and have severe complaints about it.
>Ditch the heavy, traditional, body-on-frame, and rethink the structure as weight-efficient trussed bridge in its simplest load-spreading configuration: a triangle set on its hypotenuse. One side is the Cybertruck's wedgy cab, the other, its tapered, sail-sided bed, their meeting point at the truck's tall peak resulting in a huge cross-sectional area for maximum stiffness.

So one little mishap with a heavy object in the vicinity of the bed rails and the truck's structural integrity may be compromised. All the pros listed to the design seem valid but this seems like a very high stakes bet on exactly the functions this truck does and doesn't need to perform.
I would reject any code review containing that character too, unless I worked on a project that used German internally, or was creating a product targeted towards the German market in some way.
> they are only 2-3 years from getting overtaken by a disruptor

There are literally dozens to hundreds of cases that prove otherwise. Look at all the current tech giants...
Sorry I can’t remember where I recently read this - but as I worked for a large company with one, entrenched major revenue stream it rang true to me:

Sometimes it’s in the best interests of the company to only have one major revenue stream!

They receive press and seem as innovators/bandwagon jumpers simply by entering the ‘flavour of the month’.
Wow, you used a lot math, I mostly made up my numbers and then made guesstimates based on those. :) $50 saving per bulb- holy shintos!

I concede, in most climates and most use-cases LEDs are a better buy. Most of my overhead lights are LED bulbs. I am not anti-LED or an LED-denier!

The whole thing just seems bizarre, even years later. Light bulbs are a small part of household electricity usage- water heater, heating/cooling, appliances, etc take more energy. Household electricity is a small part of all energy use- changes in industrial and transportation would have a bigger impact. While light bulbs represent a tiny fraction of overall power consumption they are probably the most visible and commonly used/purchased item. As a general rule it doesn't make sense to target areas that will cause the most disruption, to the most people to provide the smallest impact- if there has been any impact at all. Has anybody measured the impact? I tried to search for results of the ban but didn't really find anything meaningful. Has household electricity/ft2 usage dropped?

I would be curious if electricity usage did not drop at all. "oh it is an LED and is efficient so I will leave it on all day" I am sure there is a name for the effect/paradox. As far as I know impact wasn't measured. Is it another, "we did something, pat on the back" projects with no meaningful improvements?
That's great, I found it amusing too, but I'd rather keep the tone at an adult level here rather than dipping into the, admittedly sometimes more amusing, levels of reddit and 4chan.
^^^ This comment made me laugh for hours.
You're misinterpreting the sentence. It's not a statement that people (in general) think homeless people deserve it, it's a statement about people who think that.
Because it takes more resources to make two sites instead of one. Also on the iPad why would you want a crippled "mobile version" of a website, when the device is capable of displaying a normal website?

I haven't read it, but meat Basil and I've heard him refer to it a few times. It seems to be targeted at what you're thinking about.
Aside from confining it to zip code and metro area vs. address, I think there more data points that need to be added in order to get a more accurate picture of the job market. Just a suggestion, but:

1. Industry
2. Specific job title/function
3. Education level
3a. College(s) attended
4. Years experience
5. # of jobs held a different employers within the same industry
6. As a bonus, what type of discipline within the job function: enterprise, startup, consulting, freelance
7. Benefit level to include bonuses, healthcare, equipment/education reimbursement, travel

then sell job ads based on what the user inputs, because after all, isn't that we're looking for? Those admob things do nothing for me.
Still using the screenshot with test data on an iPhone Simulator... Shame on me :-p
Yes all the points have timestamps and an accuracy estimate, and there is wifi fix data too that this script doesn't show.

There is often erronous data in there too - that's not this script, that's just that location fixes are inexact.

The real violation is that you just drag-dropped your whole iphone backup to a script written by people you don't know and running on servers you don't control... but don't worry, we don't care to profile you or sell you data... ;)
Really cool and creative use of webkit!
It was incredibly useful to know that I had complete freedom to pursue my career however I wanted and that she'd provide support, advice and a financial runway to the best of her ability. As such, I wholeheartedly recommend finding a wonderful, supportive and loving wife.

That said, I don't know how to replicate my success in that matter, so I don't have much to say about it on HN.
Thanks. I'll check out Qt.
Why UserVoice instead of GetSatisfaction or Ideaffect?
> All articles from the same newspaper share a source and it already ensures some quality

You make an excellent point, applicable here: newspaper brand = web brand.

Articles not flagged [dead] on news.ycombinator.com already ensure some quality, and both similarly share a "front page".
For someone scared I would strongly recommend http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP2e/

I don't recall _The Little Schemer_ being any kind of gentle introduction.
The problem is that combining this with multithreading makes for a combinatorial explosion of possible states that you might have to deal with. It's just not feasible to exhaustively specify everything., and leaving things implicit means that you're expecting the computer to do things you haven't told it to do.
I can't understand people, who reject Non-Aggression Axiom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle).
I find that even more disingenous than OP. That first link shows the Top 15 picks of the $VTI, but IIRC the $VTI is an index of 3,000 companies across the whole market. Picking 15 heavy-weight stocks is not even the same realm as an index fund.

She weights APPLE at 18.7% while VTI weights VTI weights the top 10 holdings for a total of 23% of the portfolio.
Maybe as a society we should quit our Spanish Inquisition style moral crusades.
They discontinued the delicious import tool for some reason -- some technical reason from what I understand.

However, if you apply for an API key, there are scripts out there that can parse the delicious export and import into Evernote, including tags. Google for 'delicious export evernote script'.
It's all fun and games until someone sends WikiLeaks the full details of their data sharing/mining a week before the IPO.
How much would you reckon the Altavista name all by itself would fetch? I could see people 20 years from now buying those as "collectors' items" a la antiques or baseball cards...
'defn' is hardly old-school; Python uses 'def' to define functions. Now 'car' and 'cdr' on the other hand...

This is far preferable to typing e.g. "public static void ..." all the time
I wonder if it would have gotten a better reception if it was "RelatedStoriesBot" instead of "DupDetector".

I used it as a way to find more comments on a topic, and liked it pretty well for that. Of course, I liked it when RiderOfGiraffes was posting them as well; although I wondered how he was able to actually read any of the stories because he seemed to be everywhere with dupe reports.
There are plenty of criticisms to hurl at Microsoft, but I just don't see how 'not innovating' is one of them.

The Kinect is highly innovative and it the fastest selling gadget in history: http://www.neowin.net/news/kinect-beats-apple-becomes-fastes...

WP7 may have been late to the table and turn into a total failure, but it's certainly innovative.

Hell, even the Zune device + Zune software + Zune service is the best music provider out there, imho.

I guess you can argue that Windows 7, .NET 4.0 and ASP/MVC are derivative, but they're certainly moving their core products forward.

Microsoft has plenty of hits and plenty of misses, but everyone acts like they're being left behind by Google, Apple, Facebook and Twitter. They still make a ton of money and put out a lot of new, fresh products. Some are great (.NET 4, Kinect), some crappy (IE 8), and some meh (Office 2010), but would you argue Google has any better of a track record? Remember Wave and Buzz?.
Regardless of whether or not Del.icio.us is being shut down, Blake Irving's reaction to his screencast being "leaked" was completely uncalled for:

Germany had women's suffrage in 1919 and proceeded to go to war against almost everyone. Poland, Norway, Russia, UK, USA, Netherlands, Sweden, and other allies all had women's suffrage by WWII.
Not a word about the software they intend to use? I'd hope it is a nicely repackaged version of pump.io or Diaspora, something that might have a chance of being compatible with others.
They already do...

Thank God there are enough people who easily read 100+ books a year. Once you establish a pattern, the muscle memory kicks in, and one can easily read lots of books.

However, I have promised myself to slow down this year and dive deep into few topics and read a lot less.

Goodreads reported 14 books so far (via Kindle), which means I might have crossed 20+ books. 1 in 5 of my reading is usually physical books. This year, I will read more physical books. I still love physical books more.
Not in Canada or the USA. I don't know about the UK.
Well, I don't mind so much that the origin is lost, it becomes a pleasant bit of trivia I will inflict upon my hapless colleagues one day, just as I now explain exactly what the phrase "core dump" really means.

But in this case I do like keeping true to the specific meaning even if the origin is lost in antiquity. I feel it's a useful distinction to make. As an example, I would say that some years ago John Dvorak jumped the shark when he turned his public personal into a troll. As a counter-example, Joel Spolsky didn't jump the shark: He woke up one day and decided that his blog had run its course.

I hope we are able to save some of its distinct meaning until some other phrase comes along with a similar usage.
The pressure of the oil at the leak is 3500 psi.

It is coming out of a 20" dia pipe.

3.1415 * 10^2 * 3500 = ~550 tons of force, about the weight of a 200ft ship

Then throw in a gas/oil 2-phase fluid with different viscosities and varying temperature -- it is not an easy problem to solve

Prefixing methods is ugly. Methods should be named after what they do.

Squeak (not sure about other Smalltalks) has a thing called protocols: a method belongs to a given protocol and the browser shows it to help you explore your classes. Depending on the method name, the browser can suggest a protocol to file it within. A "sort by protocol" could then be useful in this scenario - provided you had some way to tell the IDE where your method should be grouped.
That's exactly what I thought. It does look like a counter-intuitive route on the map though.
Or Bison and Cattle: separate species, yet only four herds of American Bison are left that don't have Cattle genetics mixed in.
Indeed. I read it as something written by the author. Double-checking revealed it was written by spacejam that did post the same argumentation over and over here on HN.

What speaks against having such a tool? I'm thinking of news sites that want to give their readers the impression of the original tweet without embedding the remote content. This would've avoided the current situation where many articles are useless because the tweets they discuss are no longwr available.

Okay, maybe a bit of CSS could do the same. But this requires someone to change the CSS. Adding an image can be done by any journalist and is mostly risk-free. You cannot break the looks of other articles this way.

This, of course, is only to argue why such a tool exists.
I'm part of the left and I just want to live in peace. I'm not a fan of riots from either side. But when the right riots, in this case it's because of alleged election fraud (that was thrown out by every judge) and led to multiple people dead. When the left riots it's because of police brutality.
Hello, please check your mail i have sent you an email to talk more about your project.
$5 in Thailand might go as far as $20 in Dallas, which goes as far as $30 in New York. So if you take $30 from Mary in NY and give the equivalent of $20 to Jane in Dallas, is that unethical too? Or give $5 to someone in Thailand? At worst you could call it unpatriotic if you hire outside your country, but on a humanity scale its very hard to say its unethical or even truly understand the consequences.
It does have a moderating effect in a literal sense: it takes more than a few seconds to arrange a press conference.
No idea why the downvotes here (at initial time of writing), that’s literally how the immune system functions, it’s a random process and everybody’s antibody DNA will be different to someone else’s antibody sequence against the same antigen.

No vaccine is training the body on the exact antibody to raise, it’s training it to (hopefully, because sometimes the stochastic process missed) recognise particular epitopes.

Important to also note that generally (and particularly during early infection) there will be many antibodies that recognise parts of an antigen.

Affinity Maturation through somatic hypermutation is one of the most amazing processes the body does - look it up or for a very brief summary look at my notes on page 32 (or the whole mechanism of adaptive immunity from 27) with a little diagram on page 28

So for the vaccination it seems that:

It does not prevent the virus from spreading
It does not protect against certain variations that we are seeing like in South Africa

This means that the pandemic will still be there next winter some how. Likely not as bad as it is now. But it won't be over yet as a thread for societies. Remember most emerging/developing countries are not expected to receive vaccinations any time soon.

They'll be able to update the vaccination but many people will lose trust in them unfortunately

Means that our economies & currencies will be in trouble

Remote work will break through. After 2 years nobody is used to anything else anymore

Many people will permanently lose their job/business, but software companies will continue to do extremely well (although there will be some regulatory crack down on the largest companies)
just a minor point, as a military officer: no 22 year-old Private is a career IA agent. 22 year-olds generally aren't a career anything, yet. And I say that having been a 22 year-old. This is basically a kid who had certain scores on some of the military entrance exams during boot camp and therefore got extraordinary access. Why do these kids get such access? Mainly because 1) the American taxpayer is to cheap to hire more qualified help and 2) the military still uses some wildly outdated thinking about information security.
Making up a shortfall? You're under the impression that if there were better enforcement of shady S-Corps there would suddenly be a law lowering taxes on the other types of business orgs?
Actually, that was not the correct reply - but it was a swift reply!

I ended up using 'bug' and 'search' as tags. I've cooled down considerably now - but as a user, that was a terrible set of experiences that left me very frustrated. Even as a computer scientist, it left me asking myself why their product has been released with (what appear to me to be) major flaws.

Edit: after manually associating my account on meta with area51, and trying for a second time on meta to change my profile name, it was successful.
It's the intersection of the colour groups on the first page, and the house groups.
I'd change the up and down arrows to triangles, and soften the color a bit.

Your blog doesn't work.

I figure you do have quite a bit of work to do with your header still, and you might want to check the kerning in the description section, it's a bit tight.
NM 0.8 allows you to make a connection system-wide, so it is not dependent on the nm-applet running (it writes keys in /etc, otherwise, wireless passwords are stored in user's keyring) and it connects to that network whenever it's available. (It's the same with wired ethernet connections, they are also managed with NM, yet you don't need nm-applet, when you plug the cable in, there's a system Eth profile, which just runs DHCP query and connects you; only if you wanted a static IP or some other different setting, you'd have to make your own connection profile or change the system-wide one).
Which provides a great way to spam people. The preview idea sucks.

SPF solves almost all of the issue. Unique mailing addresses should be available for users who want it (yeah most people can handle an address book). The absence of those is just grossly incompetent.
yep, I find it interesting that on a relatively small budget (hobbyist level) you can reproduce an experiment which exhibits unexplained physical phenomena.

It gives me some home that there's still interesting experimental physics to be done on a low budget. Potentially by hobbyists outside of a traditional industrial or academic framework.
While a dead man failsafe is a good idea - facial recognition would be my preference for situations like that described in court, the bigger issue is compartmentalization. Whole disk encryption sounds good, but the flip side is whole disk decryption and that doesn't sound so good and didn't work out well when it mattered.

Based on the testimony everything was encoded from the same one time pad so to speak. That kinda' misses the point of one time pads.

Anyway enough thinking like a criminal or a spy for one day.

PG is just making stuff up as usual. That "theory" isn't even consistent over a few sentences.

"In our world, you sink or swim, and there are no excuses."

"The top 5% of programmers probably write 99% of the good software."

So 95% of programmers make 1% of the good software, but somehow they aren't "sinking"? By comparison what do think happens to the far far majority of players that doesn't get drafted to the NBA?
This. I wish they didn't do a HTML5 but instead only did a XHTML5.

There are a lot of good ideas in HTML5 but why did there need to be _another_ way of parsing HTML-like documents?

Apparently because it's the one HTML-parser to surpass and replace all other HTML-parsers out there. <sarcasm>Yeah, I totally believe that.</sarcasm>
