>4chan isn't really different.

>Instead of taking your ball to another subreddit where you can now bully everyone who disagrees with you, 4chan just screams at you until you submit to the will of the board or you take your ball to some other website.

That's precisely the difference that I was referring to when I said that 4chan is more of a melting pot. Either people fit in and stay, or they don't fit in and leave.

By contrast, reddit (and I guess 8chan which I've never visited) operates on a "something for everyone" model which I find more irksome with each passing day. I'm sure it's a great model if you're trying to sell ads, but in terms of UX I think it's the pits.

Combine with the lack of anonymity and prominent karma scores, and you've got a recipe for constant regurgitation of lowest-common-denominator memes, shitposting, and cults of personalty.

That's why reddit is quickly becoming one of my least favourite websites.
I suspect that the money piling up should have been leaking out in the form of increased wages; however, that does not seem to be happening anywhere or least not fast enough to keep the historical economy, Smurf or other, functional.
For someone who recently read a lot about Einstein and his work and learn what his theory actually accomplishes, this was a great read. I am glad I took 15 minutes of my time to read this paper. Personally I feel it sucks that almost every educated person can recollect his famous equation but a small fraction actually know what it is all about and how his work changed our understanding of space and time. I recommend anyone interested to learn more can check out this book by Author James Malcolm Bird , its on amazon [1] and free on google play [2].

So those are types of pimping.. sometimes put into a broad category of 'guerilla pimping'.

The main distinction of a pimp is someone who is willing to deal with all the bull shit of the business to help hoes - this was mainly protection from abusers and help with advertising, but also includes a ton of other help - rides, shelter, healthcare appts.

'pimping' became a pop slang term what, around the myspace time? and it's become synonymous with gaudy but cool glamour - 'those shoes are pimpin' - to also jest about 'control' - like "pimpin' these robots to get that paper (money)".. "you are being pimped by toptal".

After some years of research I would say not just most (51%) - but more like 99% of 'pimps' want nothing to do with underage, kidnapped, forced/coerced type hoes.

This is more of a stereotype that fits some groups' narratives who are often trying to get money to fight boogeymen.

Not to say that there shouldn't be money / resources dedicated to destroying the 1% who would use violence to traffic - but I've noticed how easy it is to skew the recently changing narrative / perceptions, and mostly the news is promoting false stereotypes to gain clicks and clout at the expense of real help.

This is not to say it's not completely different stats say, south of the border or Baltic or whatever.
Just a silly question here but what's the UTM acronym meaning?

I have been a QEMU user for over a decade now. Virtualization was fun back then, but so slow forcing me to experiment with many. All is so decent now.

> policy (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) a plan of action adopted or pursued by an individual, government, party, business, etc [1]

Are you genuinely interested in a book on policy? (If not, I might have some recommendations, depending on what you're interested in).

If so, you might need to adjust your expectation bar toward the lower spectrum. I honestly can't imagine a book about policy that isn't trash, but maybe that's just me.

Yes it is. Part of the art of becoming a good contributor is learning to select what one can respond meaningfully to, and to leave what merely provokes a pre-existing reaction. We're all working on learning that.

My concern is the energy cost of running the network. We can discuss that cost in terms of how much energy is used to confirm each transaction by dividing the energy cost of mining six blocks by the number of transactions in a block. Letting us communicate in terms of the energy cost to confirm a transaction allows us to compare the efficiency of Bitcoin to other payment systems.

You're right: the number of transactions in each block is not relevant to the amount of energy is used to mine that block. The network could decide to include more transactions in a block. Some Bitcoin forks tried doing exactly that, actually.

Right now it's 500, but if enough miners agree tomorrow it could be 1000. All it does is change the number in the denominator of the energy cost per transaction calculation, but it won't change the fundamental incentive structure of the network.

You can always uses a MITM proxy that presents an unencrypted view of the web. As long as you keep to HTML+CSS, that should be enough. Some simple js also, but you can't generate https URLs on the client side. Which, for retrocomputing, is probably fine.

You wouldn't want to expose these "retro" machines to the Internet anyways.

"Quits Job" is really misleading. Steve didn't work for Cisco or Apple. He was the technical side of a 2-man team which became the doll of AlphaLab and earned the respect (and money) of one of Pittsburgh's most admired angels.

Most of HN will see the net win for Hackety Hack, and that's fair enough, but I'm sorry he won't be on the front lines of CloudFab's campaign to disrupt rapid prototyping. I loved the wild-eyed way he talked about upending the industry, and he and cofounder Nick Pinkston formed exactly the mad-scientist-meets-cunning-business-guy pair you could see pulling it off. So while I know this move had to happen and I support his decision, I also think another (admittedly very different) cause will suffer for its loss of an important contributor/activist.
I don't see the grandparent as pointing out a flaw in XML so much as pointing out that this isn't something that JSON can't be made to do. The only thing stopping you from having a "JSON schema" is that such a thing hasn't been blessed by a standards committee. There's nothing stopping you from writing a library that will validate JSON based on a JSON schema of some type.
So, I just tried this, and it seems the answer is "it depends". AOL actually let me appear as "jerf.org", so it is not unreasonable that I thought this was the case. When I switched to using Yahoo, my OpenID got translated back to their idea of my id when I used it to log in. And I started flipping out, but decided to verify with another source before screaming too much. So I signed up for myOpenID and delegated to them, and once again I could appear as "jerf.org". I verified this using StackOverflow; with Yahoo I ended up on one account consistently, but with myOpenID and AOL I ended up on the "jerf.org" account regardless. I also verified StackOverflow was actually hitting my site on each request and not just caching my page.

So unless I screwed up, it is possible for it to work the way I describe, and it is possible for it to work the way you describe, depending. I'm calmed back down, but in general that's pretty worthless. I can not imagine why it should not always work the way I describe, it's the entire bloody point. Providers shouldn't even be able to screw me over that way.

The cohorts aren't defined by race though, or even ethnicity, are they? Someone born in china, raised in Brazil who did their undergrad in France and got their doctorate in India before publishing a fraudulent paper as a postdoc at UCSF is going to be counted agains the US, right?

On another front though, what's the margin of error on the sample sizes used in the paper?
There are lots of chess boards outside of playgrounds. They are generally occupied by adults. I think the point of putting the table inside the playground was specifically to enable kids to use it.

Amending the sign to read something like "no adults, unless playing or watching chess, but not if a child has been waiting to play, except ..." would get complicated fast. Just go to a different park already.
As a hack, it might not be as impressive as something Woz might have done "in the day". But something very important is happening. A pre-made vision system was bodged onto a pre-built robot chassis and used with already existing software. It was fast, cheap, and relatively easy.

The robot Altair is nearly upon us. The robot PC-XT is likely not far behind. The mother of all tech-bubbles will be right behind that.
It really seems that a lot of people in this thread don't get the meaning of "mixed content". That's where you have plain text mixed with tags, and it's difficult to represent with JSON. If you don't think so, I'm curious to see a good way of doing it.

You're right, the surety bond system is fundamentally flawed. But it's $9 million more in security (in California, since different states have different bond requirements) than Coinbase has.

I absolutely love this writeup! Thank you!

As someone running a company with around 50 people, and a quickly growing codebase, introducing testing as "a bar so low you can trip over it" is an amazing way to articulate exactly how i feel about this.

For us at first we did this by introducing tests on our most complex and commonly used code, that could be run locally. Moving onto using pull requests and having a more robust CI setup to enable more regular deploys is currently the task at hand.
There were and are people in these governments who know that you don't need the worst catastrophes, you simply need "just enough" and people in the right place at that time to suggest these practices be instituted. The rest of these governments gave these agencies the power and permission to do these things.
I do this every morning for 23 minutes. Except I'm a computer programmer so I do start my counting at zero.

After one or two counts to ten (but starting over whenever I'm distracted) (which happens a lot), I usually stop the counting and just focus on my breathing, which I find more relaxing.
As much as I agree with the fact that we should all be grateful for our amazing jobs, gratefulness is not the same thing as "not allowed to complain."

Agree and disagree. Yes, library implementers should think about application developers and the problems they're solving first and foremost. One of the most interesting developments lately has been the work on making concurrency accessible to application developers, which illustrates "and disagree" part: I used the example of Doug Lea's beautiful work on java.util.concurrent to show that while an application developer (or even a systems implementer without a good cause, for that matter) shouldn't have to implement lock free data structures themselves, they have to ultimately understand what lock free data structures solve and don't solve in order to be aware of them and know where to use them.

Lastly, one of the recurring themes of articles I see on this site is about creating a "The Valley" elsewhere (and I don't just mean Seattle, New York, Tel Aviv, etc... - tech cultures in each are more similar to each other than they're different). Perhaps that's something to ponder: is there a culture of "cut and paste and clock out" or "build software that's an asset and not a liability"?

It was in my best intend to ignore all attempts before the Wright brothers to try to fly.

It is the same here, we have the wish to make intelligent machines, but we may lack an engine to do that. Besides the airplane design it was also the availability of powerful engines and other features to go the skies.

(I did read the Wikipedia article): in that sense I afraid we are more at stadium of Da Vincis concepts than an aeroplane.
"An Appeal to the "Supreme Judge of the World"

Like I said, most of the commentators aren't even from America. But they sure are commenting like they were.
The point he is making is that people make one assumption or the other, deepending on the culture in which they live, when actually it varies.

In the western world, we assume that someone's family name is their last name.
In countries such as Korea, people assume that someone's family name is their first name.

Either assumption can be wrong if you're dealing with international customers. Some people might not even have a family name.
Anticipation of this comment was, in a nutshell, the reason the Han unification debate in Unicode got so acrimonious, and why lots of Japanese people carry a chip on their shoulder about it to this day.

"Sorry, grandma, I know you've been sort of attached to your name for the last 80 years, but the white folks find it inconvenient for their computer systems. Don't worry, they promise they'll make something close for you."

Many of the clients of my ex-day job are married to legacy encodings like Shift-JIS precisely because they do think that their customers and students have a "right" to having their names written correctly. (Most of them also make a total hash out of foreigner's names, which I spent a good deal of time correcting. As far as I know my office probably still uses my name as test data, since it screws up about 80% of the systems we had, and it was cheaper to work around or patch than it was to fire me.)

Chicago (Arlington Heights), IL

Restaurant.com is hiring a Senior Software Engineer (Primarily .Net) and a Senior Database Administrator (SQL Server 2005/2008). We are a .com and PROFITABLE, employ 175 people, and represent about 15,000 restaurants. We are growing like crazy and in need of some really good developers with a broad spectrum of skills (TSQL to Code to UI) who can hit the ground running. We move very quickly here with a minimum of bureaucracy...good place to work if you don't mind the pace.

Main Job Postings (But Not Comprehensive. You can post your resume here anyway or email it to jobs@restaurant.com)
http://www.careerbuilder.com/Jobs/Company/C8D2BZ6VY90T51SPJD...

Couple of notes:

- If you apply as Senior Level make sure you are truly Senior. Too many applicants present themselves as expert but really aren't even close. We are willing to hire a mid-level developer so just present yourself as such.

- If you aren't passionate about development you won't like it here.

- If you are coming from a large corporate environment be sure you can handle less bureaucratic structure. Job roles are fluid and you are expected to step in when you are needed. If you have ever said,"That is not in my job description." you might not be a good fit.

( If you can't tell I don't work for HR :) ).

In a hot war, a cyber attack wouldn't be the opener, not strong enough relative to the response it would draw.

It would be something more Pearl Harborish, like a nuke or EMP detonated in space over the US that fries our communication networks and power grid.

In which case, this proposed kill switch would be redundant.
Or even worse, accept your 13 character long password and just truncate it at 12. Therefore the next time you sign in your password is invaild and you have no idea why!
Mongolians use their Father's name as their surname, but they write it first. So if my name would be Brad's Josh. While you may think that they should just write it backwards, that isn't how they write it, and they shouldn't be required to translate their names for our systems necessarily.
I think his point is that on most systems, except localhost, you shouldn't be touching the config files with an editor. Those files should be managed by an automated system (config management system). Such as chef, puppet, ansible, salt, cfengine & the lot.
The worst part about the DNT header was the requirement for the tracking companies to regulate themselves. Initially, the header was opt-in, but with the introduction of IE10, Microsoft decided that the option was going to be opt-out. Once the the DNT header was gaining traction and a not-so-small percentage of people began sending the header, the companies had no reason to comply, and the initiative sorta fell out of favor.

For blocking tracking, the most effective tools are browser extensions made to block ads. Ghostery provides comparisons on an non-biased website between the methods of blocking tracking through browser modifications [1]. According to the site, the Do Not Track header actually has an effect with a difference of 18% in cookie size when the header is set. AdBlock Edge and disabling third-party cookies results in a 59% and 40% decrease in cookie size respectively. It seems that the easiest thing you can do to lessen your internet footprint would be to disable third-party cookies and enable the DNT header, and the majority of tracking can be eliminated through the use of a browser extension. (But with the recent revelations [2], using a browser extension may actually reduce your browsing experience if you don't have the RAM to spare.)

This! What the journals are selling is reputation.

The authors can choose to publish wherever they want - but there is value in publishing in Science, Nature. And their academic overlords acknowledge it too. Who gives a shit if a professor publishes a dozen papers in some obscure journal no one reads?

If you want to solve this issue stop violating the journals copyrights and start attacking the academic leaders who demand professors publish in them.
This is a model kindle floated. Of course, what they didn't tell you is they wanted to keep the revenue, so the books you can read, are the stuff Kindle pays the least outside IP cost for, and not the things you want to read. Amazon's model appears to be "meh: books are fully substitutable goods" and certainly thats how they advertise kindle product to me: "You liked reading Philip Kerr, you therefore may like these other authors <list of knock off books in the style of>"

I had several starts to college, and took a lot of English/writing courses across a few schools. I remember they always had a unit on Zines. I never really understood it. I always thought “Why wouldn’t you just put this on the web?” Not really appreciating that everyone wasn’t like me.

This is pretty cool. I tend to think that if you have a computer and images and a 3D printer ups just put it on a website, but then again I’m thinking only of my narrow world view. Sometimes distributing literature needs to grow beyond the digital.

I do wonder if the VC sector in Europe (or at least Western Europe and the Nordics) will heat up a lot, I keep seeing more US VCs looking at deals there because the valuations aren't insane and I'd guess they'd push up the prices. That said, not sure it'll trickle down to employees, I noticed when working in tech in Berlin that companies seemed much less generous with equity to employees (and lower salaries)
The Irish literally did kick the UK out and carve a piece back for themselves in 1937, which is around the same timeframe we're talking about Israel in the Middle East. That's why Ireland is an independent country from the UK, and they're still in the EU while the UK isn't. So, er, yes, I suppose by my argument, it was valid for the Irish to do so. Great point on the parallel there.

(I think you are possibly misunderstanding what "Mizrahi" refers to. Mizrahi Jews are native to the Middle East and never left and were living there at the time of Israel's founding, as they had been for thousands of years.)
