I saw this in Wikipedia:

"The JWST has a history of major cost overruns. In 2011, the United States House of Representatives voted to terminate funding, after about $3 billion had been spent and 75 percent of its hardware was in production. Funding was restored in compromise legislation with the US Senate, and spending on the program was capped at $8 billion. As of December 2014, the telescope remained on schedule and within budget, but at risk of delays."

Some people may really do that, but whenever I see the troll label applied during a forum discussion it's usually because the "troll" is simply not agreeing with the rest of the hive.
Is this like asking when will JS burn?

Silicon valley startups are good at redistributing the money from the top to the bottom.
I feel that casting all Palestinians as eternal victims with no control over their fate until Israel decides otherwise is pretty patronizing. You're basically denying their agency and labeling them as hopeless children.

This is the opposite of what the initiative is about - it's about bringing normalcy to a troubled region, and if you'd read FAQ you'd see they stress the (relative) safety and economic stability of Gaza. It's a far cry for the "Warsaw Ghetto" and the "Palestinians as cockroaches" that you're throwing around here.
They always keep right around 700 calories, which is pretty healthy for a dinner.
Blah blah. Estimates are about sizing the problem - big surprise. Its about informing stakeholders - again, big surprise.

The nugget of info is, the estimation process brings out a common understanding of the problem and solution. That's the useful bit.

Thanks for the correction. You are right. I wasn’t thinking straight.
Here's the short version from Charlie Stross:

Personally I'm a progressive who is somewhat supportive of the privacy potential of the cryptocurrencies but after the Silk Road bust it seems like the bitcoin community only cares about speculation and hoarding...
> Does my family qualify for assistance? No. Plain and simple.

Can you elaborate on this?

Prestigious, well-endowed, non-profit hospitals - typically major university medical centers - usually have the most robust financial assistance programs available. Most of them will simply write off the cost of your treatment if you really can't afford it.

I can't say for sure how it works for terminally ill cancer patients, but, I haven't seen anything to indicate disqualification or lack of coverage would take place. I'm sure it depends on the hospital though.

If she's currently receiving treatment from a for-profit hospital without deep pockets, then it's a safe bet their financial assistance program(s) are probably bullshit.

I don't know if it's "hassle-free" but adb over Wi-Fi has worked well in my experiences. I tend to use adb over USB for file transfer. Both use command-line utilities so not suitable for all end-users.
Is the abuse because $5 is too little or because the initial permissions and policies too lax?

Not sure what you mean about poor design or maintenance. The lower barrier to entry means there are many more options and often unmaintained extensions get forked. (If their license is permissive, which is more often the case when the creator doesn't have to pay $100 per year.)
I don't care about virtue signalling, best technology is worthless when google's legendarily horrendous customer service/algorithms can screw you at any moment. So for me: GMail, GDrive, GCP, etc. are too risky; even though I use Firefox because of its customizability I could use Chrome(based) browser; GMaps and Youtube are fine; I use neither Google's nor Cloudflare's DNS, they have too much of my data as it is anyway and frankly speed difference between DNS providers is negligible; only time I don't act completely rationally is good ol' search - because I'm worried about google's monopoly I try to use/support an alternative.
Github is fully available in Venezuela though. The US sanctions are mostly against the government in our case (I'm Venezuelan).
Not that hard for me. Americans have criticized, sued and raised awareness about their government misconducts, with little repercussions. Joseph Gordon-Levitt didn't get persecuted for playing Snowden. Adam Driver didn't receive state sanctioned intimidation for playing Daniel J. Jones. Director, screenwriters, producers and etc get to live their life normally.

Can you imagine what will happen to Fan Bing Bing if she plays Chai Ling (One of Tiananmen Square student leader)?

So to answer your question - no it's not okay. But I would expect HN audience to be able to see the obvious distinctions.
Ah. OK. Though even for a small outfit I'd expect a fairly good uplift over what the engineer is taking home, especially if the engineer is earning a salary rather than just getting paid hourly when they're working.
Not mentioned in this article, but I learned recently that cigarette use increased in the 1930s as the Great Depression drove Americans away from more expensive cigars. This caused a big depression in Tampa, the home of the US cigar making industry.
It has a legitimate point here. The anti-cancel culture crowd is downvoting my perfectly reasonable reply without even giving an argument back. Soon you won't even be able to see my original reply. Kinda ironic, no?

I removed my original mention of downvoting. I shouldn't have had that in.
My comment didn't put culpability on anyone. The comment I was replying to wondered why those two categories were worse. I supposed there's a connection between the size of the vehicle and the visibility (being seen and not being able to see).
These people probably didn't know her either. The tweet probably got picked up by someone and retweeted in the tone of "look at this Nero playing fiddle in the bath while our browser is burning" or similar outrage, and became viral from that. Twitter is a weird medium because of things like this - it's meant to be a personal stream-of-consciousness medium which is commonly used for honest venting from a vulnerable position, but is also a public medium which makes it inherently not a safe space for such vulnerability.
do they know windows bins are missing from the newest release?
That's a big waste of the caps lock key. I use it as a modifier key for all kinds of frequently used macros. It's very easy to press two key combos with left hand alone like capslock+q or capslock+space, etc.
That's part of the point of the question - which part you go into detail on is a pretty good indication where your strengths lie. Someone who spends a lot of time on DNS and SYN/ACK is probably a low-level networking guru, and the rest of the interview should be structured accordingly. Someone who immediately jumps into HTTP requests, HTML parsing, and stylesheet application is probably a web developer, and the rest of the interview should be structured accordingly. Someone who talks about the enter key firing off an interrupt that the keyboard device driver handles and puts into a message queue for the windowing system's event loop to handle is a low-level desktop OS person. Someone who talks about the browser retrieving the event from the window loop, dispatching it the urlbar's hwnd, and kicking off an HTTP request is a Windows application programmer.

The advantage of this over just looking at someone's resume is that you can tease out areas of strength beyond someone's particular work experience, so that if eg. you get someone who's been stuck doing Win32 programming his whole life but has managed to teach himself a bunch of web technologies on his own time, he can talk intelligently about the browser's style rendering. It can also identify areas of cross-training, eg. the bulk of my professional experience is in web development, but I know enough about how the other layers of the stack work to write this comment.
There's definitely a story here. I haven't experienced it myself. I met him a loooong time ago, and he seemed as normal as anyone else at DefCon (back in the late 1990s). But I've heard the stories, too, from multiple people.

You can have chronic PTSD from many things. For example, people who were abandoned, beaten and physically abused as children. That's just one example, there are many others. You don't have to be a war vet who saw active combat or a woman who was raped to suffer from PTSD.
The current boom is the classic case of the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. While I agree that the valuations are detached from reality, there is no way I would attempt to try and short any of these "new darlings".
There isn't a clear distinction between "needs oil" and "sustainable". It's quite likely that there are ways (or ways to be found) to farm very efficiently without ruining the planet. Btw I think the latest prognosis was bumped to 11bn.
This is mostly irrelevant. The index used for pricing could be a weighted average of Thomas' and my karma, but if the trust was still backed by ~0.2 BTC per share and had working redemption mechanics, one would expect shares to trade around where rational market participants thought 20% of a Bitcoin was worth.
You just described Playstation Move.
Well done. Looks cool, but I need syncing with my Android phone. So this cannot replace Google Calendar for me.
I don't understand why some people thing that it might be fair use. It doesn't even seem close to being debatable. Fair use revolves around commentary (and criticism) and parody. While fair use TENDS to be in small doses, it doesn't have to be. But I don't see how this falls under either commentary or parody. The guy tweeted the ENTIRE film. The fact that it doesn't compete with a dvd or itunes is not relevant.
Not particularly. Anything really secret I probably wouldn't put on that computer. I just don't see why other people should be allowed to access my data.

The biggest win, I think is the internal "e drive" encryption, so that a RAM dump doesn't spill keys. That even somewhat mitigates Lightning DMA attacks. (Although the attacker could just hijack the OS at that point.)
I feel that, in a way, I am changing my own 'hood. As an enterprise engineer, I'm trying to solve what I believe to be the most painful problem experienced by enterprise engineers - trying to figure out what caused complex systems to break down, so a fix can be formulated. This problem really sucks because it leads to a lot of yelling, finger-pointing, all-nighters, and general panic - bad social behavior that has nothing to do with the technical problem-solving we love.

So yeah, I feel I'm going after the problems of my peers, of my tribe. My 'hood, even if it's a virtual kind of 'hood.
They are not really distinguishing between deflation in a national currency that people's wages and debts are denominated in which is a problem, and bitcoin going up which isn't really.

> It has every bit of information required to make these decisions. Failing to do so is negligence.

One could argue that the Ministry of State Security can and should do full surveillance of all citizens, collect all available information, including wiretapping all phones using blanket warrants, and act on it to detect and deter crime, including the crime of political opposition, at all cost, and not doing so is negligence, because it is possible and if it is possible it must be done.
Oh nice! It works on the non-pro dream-machine as well.
I started using Headspace a few months ago. I've noticed a pretty positive effect.

I react a lot better to stress. On days at work when I was in tough situations, my mind would be racing for the whole day and I wouldn't be able to sleep. I feel like now, I can clear my thoughts and focus on what I should be focusing on.

I am very calm when in situations where I used to get angry(video games, lol).

I used to have major insomnia, now I can get to bed a little bit earlier. I'm still working on this part.
I don't know if it's possible without touch screen hardware, but I would really like if I could write WP8 apps to run on this device.

I never thought of contacting customer support to try and restore my old account. I lost all of my playlists when they "helpfully" suggested that I delete my "unused" channel. The popup said this would have no effect on my youtube experience.

But it did. It deleted all the playlists I had created, and I couldnt re-create them without linking a Google+ account to my youtube account and creating a public channel. I didn't do that because that account is the one I don't associate with my real name. It was a very frustrating user experience, and has added to my list of reasons to get away from google services.

I went to see Buzz Aldrin, the 2nd man on the Moon, speak at a book lecture. He is very passionate about colonizing Mars. He says there are two big things that have to be accomplished before we can colonize Mars. The first is to train astronauts to live in a confined isolated space for 260 days (the length of a journey to Mars).[1] The second is harder: We need to go to Mars at least three times and bring back the men and women successfully. Once is not enough. Three proves we've mastered the engineering, financial, physical, and physiological aspects.

I would usually spin around in my chair looking at the ceiling when I was thinking about something. Occasionally I would play with a pen or do something else like that.

This would irritate even other programmers. My bosses strongly preferred the other programmers because they always had code up and always looked like they were working; if they had to think, they would usually call a meeting and talk it through. I looked like I was getting paid to make myself dizzy.

I told them I was thinking about stuff and that they should leave me alone. I quit because it was a bad place to work.
There was an attempt to do that with 2.5G, but it has been relegated to backplanes and was never formally standardised.
Large amounts of censorship-resistant payment ability can be used to challenge sovereign prerogatives (aka "national security") up to an including financing a war.

Knowing who or where someone is sitting with 40 billion dollars in cash that can be teleported instantly and irreversibly to anyone, anywhere on the planet is something that I would be surprised if they were not interested in. Every other system of moving large amounts of money long distances is under some form of sovereign control, either via bank/wire regulation, or customs searches in the case of physical gold or currency.

My first talk on Bitcoin and digital currencies in 2011 was titled "Financing The Revolution"[1] for precisely this reason. Cryptocurrencies, due to their censorship resistance and inherently transnational nature, ultimately pose a threat to sovereign nations if they remain open access and fungible.

The CIA asked one of the bitcoin core developers to come to Langley and present to them on the matter in 2011. It's been on their radar for a while.

> So if a company has a large revenue that it mostly reinvests and pays low salaries, very little tax would be paid on this revenue, and that seems okay to you?

Certainly, of course. If they reinvest then they are spending capital on something so that company so taxes are eventually paid.

This is meant, I think, to encourage growth with the intent that there will be an eventual taxable event at a higher amount than if tax was paid earlier in the stream. I think this is why tax revenues continue to grow. The intent is to maximize tax revenue. There’s no reason to worry about companies like in your scenario because it doesn’t negatively impact taxes.

What might be good is to setup thresholds for deductible expenses to prevent corporate expense that are clearly luxuries. For example, meals are only 50% deductible. I could see setting up different classifications for private jets over commercial, country club dues, luxury hotels, etc.

It doesn’t seem fair that taxpayers subsidize corporations claiming expenses and offsetting taxes on country club dues and whatnot. Pretty bizarre and there are lots of setasides that clearly benefit rich people who work for corporations.
Prevent direct database access or at least allow it only from jump servers which don’t allow file transfers.

For troubleshooting purposes create debugging tools. Log and check their usage. When things mature, you can even require multiple admins to work together for certain actions.

Minimize human access to production envs. Automate deployments. When access is needed, use jump servers and block file transfers (or force them to go through channel that is audited).

Do review logs and alerts on regular basis. Put effort to minimize false alerts and excessive logging. Quite when reviewing logs you just notice things that “don’t look right”.

Nothing is 100% secure, but also people with bad intensions don’t always have unlimited skills/energy/time.
Can you say more about that? So for example if I pipe to `grep`, murex will write some additional metadata info to the pipe? Won't that confuse grep?
Some low-tech alternatives

(1) Each client app to submit x randomly generated phone numbers for every real number, making any reconstructed social graph useless and deniable. Where x is the slowdown their very cleverly over-engineered solution introduces...

(2) As long as Signal user base is relatively small — submit n-1 digits of the number, then wait for confirmation there is at least one Signal user matching before submitting the final digit.

(3) If user base is larger - submit n-1 digits of the phone number, and receive all of the up to 10 matching users

"Signal is social software. We don’t believe that privacy is about austerity, or that a culture of sharing and communication should mean that privacy is a thing of the past."

I don't agree. All I want from Signal is an e2ee, cross-platform replacement for SMS. I don't think of SMS as "social software" and to the degree Signal keeps acting like it wants to be a social network the more uneasy it makes me. I do appreciate that, unlike Telegram, I can use Signal without giving it access to my contacts but I wish it didn't try to leverage my contacts list at all.
I doubt regularly. The arguments presented on Groklaw usually aren't legally convincing, even if sympathetic. Its much more of a Slashdot site with a legal bent.
Hiring a programmer is not trivial. Most of us suck at managing people.

We've all heard the horror stories of bad clients. Constantly changing feature requests, never-ending requests for support. I'm reluctant to add to that pool. People who hire programmers should know what they want. Posting to a forum isn't knowing what you want.

Heck, I'm a programmer and just the prospect of saying I'll pay you to do x triggers stress hormones in my body.
Not all gamma is the same, the energy matters a lot in terms of how it affects the body. And of course when calculating the dose you need to know the energy - you add the total energy, not the total number of photons.

Alpha and beta from distant sources will be blocked of course, but if there are radioactive isotopes in the environment they may decay right near the sensor, and you won't be able to tell.

Distant gamma is a much smaller concern than radioactive isotopes in the immediate environment.

I wish I had your line of thought when I was your age.

If I were you, I would focus on the academic commitments at hand. If you are ahead of the pack, I suggest that you pick up advanced level stuff. Why? It will really hone your skills at critical thinking. All math problems are puzzles waiting to be solved; some are interesting and some are rote but important.

But if you are dead set on jumping right in, try and work out some biz models on your ideas. "Am I looking to make money? If so, why?" "What would people pay for?" "Does my idea solve an existing problem" "How/when will my 'great website idea' make money?" "If I look at this idea as an investor, would I invest in it?", etc.
People already do this, just without a website. My tailor was based out of Hong Kong. He flew to NYC every 3 months and rented a nice hotel room for 4 days. You went there and were fitted, picked out fabric, etc. Somewhere between a week and 12 weeks later, clothes arrived in the mail. Paying $80 - $100 for a custom shirt is a pretty good deal.
AppleTV hasn't replaced CableTV for me, but it sure has replaced on-demand-movies. Netflix streaming is great, but it usually doesn't have the best and latest movies.

We've used the AppleTV rentals several times in the past few months where we might have instead watched Cable on-demand.

Read the whole transcript. I impressed myself!

I think MS has a tought road to climb on this one. But one thing that did catch my eye was this,

"Now Congress now has it before it legislative proposals, one of which has passed the Senate, one of which has been voted out of committee in -- in the House, and is currently pending before the court -- the full -- full House of Representatives, that would expand the availability of post, what we now call post-grant review proceedings, where for a limited window of time after a patent is issued, people who oppose the issuance of the patent can come in and object on any ground. And that wouldn't be limited to the - the grounds that are specified in the current re-examination proceeding."

If this passes, it would be great to have a site dedicated to tracking SW/UI patents where we could submit prior art and objections.
