We are picking small fish from the depths of sea that don't want to be picked. I don't imagine this would be way harder.

We just need someone willing to pay for it.

Maybe we should not allow companies to sell another fishing net unless customer brings the damage one back for exchange?

Maybe soft drinks should be sold this way as well? If you are packaging something, you can't sell a packaged good unless you take in used package back.

You could start it gradually. To be allowed to sell 100 bottles of Coca Cola, you need to take in at least 10 used plastic bottles of the same volume.

There is something like that for car batteries. If I want to buy a car battery I have to bring back my old one. If I don't I have to pay very large fee that I can recover only after I bring back old battery.
In fact, a lot of this music wouldn't exist if not for people freely sharing and copying ideas. The article mentions "authorship disputes that go back to the early days of jazz. Many jazz songs arise out of collective tinkering and improvising in jam sessions. It’s sometimes quite hard to say who exactly wrote a given song."
Agree with this. My central belief about code is that you read it more than write it, so legibility and simplicity are usually the most important features. That's one of the reasons I really liked Java. These days I feel that Kotlin achieves similar goals - arguably a little better than Java
> (and has been portrayed more negatively in the news media than any other living person)

Bold statement.
You do that to address your own itchy, so you don't have the pressure to promote it.

Just use it as usual, if others find it useful, the popularity will grow organically.

If it stays low profile, like many npm packages. Let it be. Unless you need to relay on others using it to pay your bill.
Each time I'm catching myself reading it as Cardassians
We can't really know. There is no way to be perfectly certain.

That said one can apply an Occam's calculus using whatever information and reasoning you do trust. I personally trust that, whomever the #GOP was, they were motivated by SONY's role in developing "the movie of terrorism". This seems to me to be consistent with what the group published and with their 'Christmas surprise' showing collaboration between the State Department and SONY on the development of the movie related to its diplomatic value - something I don't think the NSA or allies would do. So I think the group had NK sympathies in mind. Granted, this doesn't rule out attribution to other states or hacktivists who hold these sympathies.
IIRC they either measure resistance or heat conductivity (as a carbon crystal structure has very specific properties). The device was a pen with two probes on it. It had different lights that said "Diamond", "Mossanite", and "Cubic Zirconia", so I was very surprised to see that the detector thought it was a diamond.
So what are vendor are you changing to now?
While true, APIs have specifically not been copyrightable in the EU for some time, I'm not sure about the cad else in other countries and regions.
It is legal to prohibit employees saying or implying that they are speaking on behalf of the company or in any capacity, but it's actually forbidden by the National Labor Relations Board to tell employees they are forbidden from saying anything about their employer (notwithstanding sensitive, confidential or classified topics).
IANAL, but there is definitely such a thing as commercial fair use. The music industry is rife with "they stole my riff" cases that hinge on whether the copying was transformative and the amount that was copied. I wouldn't go so far as to say this undermines the rule of law (rather, the Court's precedent-setting power is part of the rule of law. It may undermine rule by Congress, but nothing about the US system makes Congress a king, and if they want to take back their power on this topic, they need only craft a clearer law addressing these issues directly).

I think reasonable people can agree with Justice Thomas on this (sidebar: this is why I love reading SCOTUS rulings - they're generally wise people and both the majority and dissent sides are usually reasonable takes). The tests of "is it transformative" and "how much was taken" are probably the most subjective tests in the copyright precedent.
HN keeps removing the slash before * but you'll figure it out.
But the Thatcher government made a point of starting the closures at the worst possible time, "effective immediately", and then made a point of pointedly ignoring the economic collapse of entire towns and districts whose lifeblood had been the coal mines.

That is true, but the context at the time was the Winter Of Discontent. The unions had squandered all the goodwill the voters might otherwise have had.
I agree. I think the author is missing the point of diamond engagement rings.

Also, none of this seven points really sway me.

1. Basically anything that's expensive has had its price inflated in some way. That doesn't make it anyone any less willing to pay the price.

2. Same as number 1. Lots of things are only expensive because they've been marketed well. Does that make them less valuable?

3. No one buys an engagement ring as an investment. Who buys an engagement ring thinking they'll be able to recuperate costs?

4. This one has merit but there has also been a lot of progress in recent years. things like these have popped up and most major jewelers are taking part. Ask where your diamond was sourced before buying. https://www.responsiblejewellery.com/

5. Don't spend more than you can afford on anything. That's just common sense.

6. The author is really missing the point here. You can make an exact replica of a famous painting but it's still a replica. There's value in authenticity.

7. Same as number 5. Also, you could say this about any major purchase.
Satya Nadella will complete his first anniversary as CEO next month. I am sure all these nice things Hololens, Windows 10 , Band etc did not got started and ready-to-be-released within a year.
Project Natal was amazing. The Kinect dialled most of the cool stuff down for cost reasons.
Fear of death is not the only motivation for survival.

It is possible to rationally realize that dying would have negative utility, even failing to take into account fear of death.

In general, evolution tends to produce redundant systems for reproduction-critical activities.
gofmt ftw ;)
It's very hard to be perfect when you want to get competitive while considering 'no-child-left-behind' in college education. There are many financial aids, the famous affirmative action, the public and private college system separation, local community colleges for some low-incomes, the rich pays more tax while the poor pays none, the K-12 for all etc are all into play, if those are not enough to care for the disadvantaged, we may just open the door to take whoever wants to get into which college on a lottery basis? do we really think that communism world has arrived?
>The point, of course, is that trying to create "one macro to rule them all" is already wrongheaded. There shouldn't be one universal iteration construct.

I agree that MAPCAR et al. should be used when they're appropriate. They are, however, sometimes simply not, and it's important to be able to build code to handle those cases. You don't need LOOP for that, since you can always use TAGBODYs and GOs, but LOOP is almost certainly more appropriate, just as MAPCAR et al. are usually more appropriate than LOOP.

In other words, yes, there should be a universal iteration construct; there just shouldn't be only a universal iteration construct. There's nothing wrong with having multiple tools at different abstraction levels for the same group of tasks, and I'd argue that it's usually a good thing.
That post's code provided inspiration for this! Though I found their examples a bit over-engineered for my taste...
This one is awesomely embarassing. I submitted a quick response, but it turned out to (probably) be quite pessimal. Heh.

The challenge was of the category that triggers my "oh, that's easy!" knee-jerk response, and I still think it's easy. It's just that my knee didn't jerk towards the solution shown by RiderOfGiraffes, which really feels like the best one. :)

I think I'll blame job stress for my performance when it comes to this one.
Many teachers return each September to a computer that has been wiped clean.

I hear that. Frequently, in September, from several dozen teachers asking me "How do I reinstall Bingo Card Creator on my computer which was just wiped clean? Also, do I have to pay?"

I think focusing on the web app will mitigate some of the anxiety that teachers experience in that area.

It totally solved that problem, where the feature I made in the downloadable version to do the same thing has been a catastrophic flop. (Twenty people have ever used it, and I still get emails asking to explain how to copy files onto a floppy so that they can be read on the machine at school. And then emails the next day saying that the computer doesn't know what a .bcf file is. And then emails the next day saying that they installed Bingo Card Creator and opened the file but it says it is the free trial which is odd because they know they purchased the program and they never had this issue at home [i.e. where they followed directions and put in their Registration Key].)
A lot of first-time entrepreneurs (me included) make the mistake of believing that the right idea is paramount for success. As Adams points out that's not true. It's getting old but it's still the truth: Ideas are worthless. Execution is everything
I would downvote you if I could, because you added a destination in ireland for a walking route from southhampton.
So, Protip: The word “fanboi” is as ridiculous and juvenile as ”M$”, ”demorat”, “republiscams”, or any other goofy little pun moniker. I half expected the final paragraph to close with an “All Your Base” reference after seeing the word “fanboi”.

I know people don't read Hank for the cleverly barbed and expertly crafted prose... but, really? Fanboi?
It could be that the other post about this on the frontpage is getting all attention...
>Haskell people skew smarter than most other languages.

But are they more productive, get shit that we care about done, or do they go down monadic rabbit holes?

By all means Haskell away in your pet projects, but having a company invest into a team to deliver things customers want, I'd like to see some evidence this makes sense outside specific niche areas (Cardarno possibly being a good example where it makes sense).
I think inherent safety issues will keep ebikes classified as-is. A fast human humans can sprint 30km/h, and our skulls and skin can mostly survive a fall at that speed. Every ebike is limited to that speed because that's the safe speed. 40km/h doesn't feel much faster when you're doing it, but a fall at that speed is an order of magnitude more likely to need hospitalization.

I expect something between a velomobile and a tuktuk could be engineered to protect a rider from a fall, but where would you drive it? It wouldn't be safe to share a road with trucks, and but it would be a danger to cyclists.

Edit: We have the tech to do it right now--the homebrew combo of bafang motor and phaserunner controller can turn a mountain bike into a suicide machine. It would be a sensible upgrade for a dutch-style cargo bike though. Keep it locked under 30kph and you could take little kids on a grocery run. (Where city trail infrastructure exists.)
These talks are about Facebook, but it's really about the company meta, does it also mean that Instagram and WA will go away?
Well that certainly gives a different spin to the various competing claims regarding global warming…
It's a general anti-abuse measure.

It was more than ten years ago but I was seriously spamming one of those reddit-like sites for software developers. I made about 1000 fake accounts with what looked like real names and photographs but if somebody looked close they might have noticed I made no effort to match the gender of the name to the gender of the photograph.

The accounts generated a good amount of "cover traffic" voting for articles that weren't mine but I would give one of my articles somewhere between 20 to 80 votes that would usually recruit an even larger number of real votes. Once in a while somebody would say something like "That's a pretty good blog but not that good, I can't see how he's possibly getting so many votes for every single post"

My take was that what I was doing was pretty safe because my fake users were actually pretty well behaved and there wasn't going to be any real perception that there was a problem. Even so I was using Tor to make sure that my requests were not coming from the same IP address and it wouldn't be so obvious what I was up to.

I lost the database with the fake accounts in a hard drive crash and I wasn't about to push the issue because I had also attracted some attention from the F.B.I. which knew I (or at least my alter ego) was making trouble with Tor so they tried to entrap me into distributing child porn over Tor. I told them no of course ("the FBI in my country sees that as an important enforcement priority") but that did make me lose interest in Tor.

Back then Wikipedia would require you to log in to make any edits over Tor because they didn't want to deal with that kind of BS either. It's not unusual for many kinds of sites to have restrictions on Tor users for the same reason.

My last covert web crawling project involved making a machine image that could be deployed in any AWS zone to do about 200 requests and then pop up in some other place. On one level it looks like you are getting hit from Japan and Singapore and Germany, and... But on another level it is all AWS.

At some point they looked at their logs and freaked out and made changes to make it fundamentally harder to crawl out their site. We've got the running gag today that it's not safe for me to go to Delaware now. But practically a lot of sites block AWS addresses for the same reason they block Tor. It's just way too easy for a third rate hacker wannabee to seem to be coming from too many IP address that way.
If you read the article, the $1B is not to go the fab itself (there's another, much larger pot of money for that); instead, it's for ancillary developments of "disruptive technologies for the foundry ecosystem."
PrintCSS Cloud, is an HTML to PDF REST API with CSS Paged Media support. In the background it uses three of the most advanced OpenSource rendering tools, WeasyPrint (https://weasyprint.org/), PagedJS (https://www.pagedjs.org/), and Vivliostyle (https://vivliostyle.org/).

The Print CSS features covered thanks to these renderers are: Running Headers and Footers, Counters and Cross References, Page Margin Boxes, Footnotes, Page Selectors and Page Breaks, JavaScript Support.

The API is currently in alpha status, and I would really appreciate your feedback! Till the final Go-Live, I only have a free plan including 500 requests per month, which should be more than enough to give you an idea of the possibilities and test the API. If you still need more requests for testing, please let me know.

Learn more about the PrintCSS Cloud in my detailed article https://medium.com/printcss/introducing-printcss-cloud-68662....
Yeah, there’s no way that’s correct. A project making $40k net is not magically worth half a million dollars. Unless there is some equally magical tech running the business, or some other underlying voodoo/hidden value asset, that figure makes no sense to me.
In the server space, there is no good reason to do weird unusual things → even e.g. the "custom" AWS hardware is as standards-compliant as possible (if you look at the ACPI tables on an a1.metal instance, you'll only find an AMZNxxxx device for the PCIe host controller, and that's only because Synopsys Designware IP sucks^W has a stupid hardware bug related to filtering that requires a little workaround quirk)
What was wrong with it? It's a Let's Encrypt issued on Feb 1. Maybe you better talk to your MITM.

https://crt.sh/?q=www.gyroflow.xyz
It’s definitely a problem in person.

It’s a bit easier to resolve because there’s more context/body language available, but I still often ask people to repeat themselves. Sometimes overtly, sometimes by restating the portion of what they said that I understood and prodding them to elaborate so I can implicitly fill in the missing pieces.
Just get medicated my dude. Sure there are drawbacks but no reason to live life with your brain working against you. Once you find the right med it will click. Try them all!
Cash is not a good comparison to cryptocurrency at all.

Stealing $70M, or trying to launder $5B in cash, is absolutely not the same thing as doing the same with cryptocurrencies.

$70M or $5B is a serious logistical problem to steal, hide, and launder.

$70M is 700kg in $100s.

> under the control of the owner of the private key,

Not owner, no. Temporary viewer is enough. And that's a huge difference.
The puzzlement may stem from the fact that if your default browser preferences deny a site the use of Javascript, the region in question (to the left of the large, wide green buttons toward the top of the front page) that displays that announcement is left blank. I was similarly nonplussed at first.
Ridiculous. The total value of all bitcoins at their peak price is not enough to harm the US economy. And if the non - inflationary constraints of the system are really so fatal then why bother calling for a ban?
You're aiming way too high with requirements stating organic food locations. My LinkedIn requirements stated "no recruiters", yet lo and behold...
It's as easy to figure out I have a boyfriend as it is to figure out what I look for in a company. Or what my preferred stack is. I'm not really subtle about it. But I'll give you that one; it's possible to get a good pitch for a state I wouldn't consider working in, assuming it has some other evidence that they know something about me other than "Matched my search results for 'writes Python sometimes'".

I don't work with local recruiters because _I'm not looking for a job_.
Note that Chuck Schumer, who National Journal says* was the most liberal senator in 2013 (well, it was a three-way tie) also has signed letters with Manchin to DOJ complaining that Bitcoin is "untraceable" and demanding a crackdown on Silk Road.

Can the most liberal senator be flamed as one? Or is that label never to be used in polite discourse? :)

Oh you're right, it says right there... huh. I'm not sure if I just spaced out or if that didn't load. I tried looking at thew news and blog and didn't see anything.

Anyway, it's good that the code will still be around.
I don't like recruiters either but I think writing an open letter is going too far. I don't choose to make it my problem that recruiters suck. When I go to a sports game and get pestered by ticket scalpers, I don't lecture the scalpers on how the could be using more effective methods to sell their tickets and get all angry about how I'm tired of being offered tickets.
My father was a CPA and was trained to use spreadsheets for things like double-entry accounting.

The first time I ever saw a computer it was when he got a job where the accountants had computers [1] and he was so excited to show me a "computer-based spreadsheet" [2] and how it would do calculations automatically! Even with the computer doing the calculations, he still insisted on double-entry.

[1] I remember visiting a very large room with raised floors; raised so that the cooling system could do it's job properly. I believe he was actually using a DOS system, so my memory of the computers being like big lockers must be of tape-backups or something like that.

[2] i was a wee lad, but if memory serves, it was a predecessor to Lotus 1-2-3
Market cap means nothing. I can create 10^32 coins out of thin air, sell one coin at 1$ to one customer. And the next thing I have is a coin with higher marketcap than bitcoin.
I’m currently in exactly that situation. No comments on tiny workarounds, no high level docs on any feature, any kind of code criticism interpreted as personal attacks. I’ve worked at teams where I can easily add 1000+ lines of well tested and incremental code a week, but here I can barely reach 200.

Although, it’s not just programmers fault, the product team is just pushing for changes and never allowing any time for code simplification.
Or you defer bootstrap until you have some channel on which you can piggyback.

For example if you download some file then you need to exchange some content-identifying token anyway, a magnet link in bittorrent. That link can also contain a bunch of nodes the source peer knows, preferably the longest-lived ones it knows. Depending on where it's used you could also turn this into a QR-code, NFC peer or whatever.

Practically speaking an implementation will already contain a bootstrap list or might download it from somewhere else on first start. But that's just for convenience.
And yet...

Summer breaks are great if you are going to visit cool places, make new friends on summer camps, ... Not if you are locked home with your parents and doing so many annoying homeworks + attending online lectures
That feeling is mostly mutual, too? I don't think parents would want to be with their kids all-day all-year either.
If we accept your premise about madmen, then this

> This is true of any hierarchical power structure

is only true if everyone in the hierarchy is a madman.
Technical content is generally of much higher standard. Although HackerNews sometimes feels a bit like an echo chamber with the type of content that gets popular.

I think there’s just too many crypto-sceptics here, and that’s a shame because crypto solved a lot of challenges they’re talking about, and is on the rally to democratise everything financial related. Something big that many people still miss on, but with about 0.5% adoption rate we’re at the early stage of the innovators stage. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_adoption_life_cyc...

Give it a few years until we get to the early adopters and for sure the quality of content will improve. It just needs more people reading about it and adopting it.
Based on what other parents tell me, no they are not.
Thanks for the answer. What I should have asked first is, do you think this is something that's important to your users, or are they happy to accept that there is research and engineering behind it that has concluded it is reliable and safe?

I'm asking because I've been in a similar situation (different area of computer vision) where nontechnical stakeholders are looking for assurances that the model is not going to fail under essentially unknown conditions. And same as you, we had some ideas, but it's hard to validate what best speaks to people, so was curious to hear if you had looked at it. Thanks!
> Ingenuity runs Linux (for the first time on Mars) and uses the open-source F' software framework on a 2.26 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor. Radiation hardened processors aren’t fast enough for the real-time vision requirements of the experiment—but as an unprotected COTS processor, it will fail periodically due to radiation-induced bit flips, possibly as much as every few minutes. NASA’s solution is to use a radiation-tolerant FPGA ProASIC3 to keep an eye on the CPU (paper) and software that attempts to double-check operations as much as possible. “[I]f any difference is detected they simply reboot. Ingenuity will start to fall out of the sky, but it can go through a full reboot and come back online in a few hundred milliseconds to continue flying.”

Because you can't see faces???
OK but how come even without the store it took more than 20-30 seconds? This was a beefy computer 7 years ago.
