I'm so proud of Humanity right now. Thousands of years later when future Historians would be studying our period, I am sure they will feel proud about the far-sighted decision this Voyager project had been. Future scientist may thank us for setting a benchmark they now have to excel.
Listening to it now, thank you.
The internet is now terrible.

I know a few middle-aged overwieght people who have a healthy diet (100% home cooking) and spend 4 - 6 hours a week in the gym.

When you get older, you body is not as good at regulating itself. Think sumo wrestler - they can beat your ass and survive in a tundra, but they don't look like a model.
If they could wave a magic wand and loose 10 kg, they would.
Yes to all of those, but more.

Administrative growth is part of it, but in general schools have made themselves more expensive in many dimensions: more buildings, bigger sports stadiums, more attractive campuses, better food, and so on.

They compete with each other, and the accessibility of student loans removes a brake on the competition. Many people can afford to go... today. Whether they can actually pay it back is less clear -- even if they are working in STEM fields. College education is mandatory but not sufficient for the best paying jobs. We had an economic crash in 2001, and another in 2007 that is persisting in some ways until this day.

As of 2005, student loans can't be discharged through bankruptcy. So student loans taken out at 18 will follow you forever, no matter what.

Colleges are hard to start. There's no really good way for economic competition to open up. Many recommend community colleges, but employers often discriminate against them. Online degrees, similarly, are often low quality, and are certainly treated that way regardless. The job market for young people is tight, and the ones with the most expensive degrees will in general get the most desirable jobs.

Employers could be more flexible than colleges, but many just won't. With so many candidates they filter heavily, including college transcripts.

This is still a vast oversimplification. It's a number of factors all pointing in the same direction: rising costs, availability of money, tough employment market. It's not so much that the 18 year olds are bad at making decisions as that college is a practically necessary decision, and yet it's no longer the obviously lucrative choice it used to me. Many get stuck for one reason or another, and they're stuck hard. College prices have risen to match the advantage they give.

Fixing that is at least two parts: making it better in the future, and dealing with two generations of students who genuinely couldn't have known what they were getting into. Neither is easy.
When one updates internal dependency versions one usually has to find them. At least that was the story with my gigs. So there's a listing somewhere.

So you wouldn't get a random version even considered.

Version shadowing and overriding is a totally different concern of course.
I feel you. I just started working for a smaller company where I can work 4 days. And I have to say, my midweekend(Wednesday off) is amazing.

Still able to pay the bills, but I'm working to live, not living to work. I really hope this option is possible when I decide to go for a new challenge in a few years.

I really like what you try to achieve with the platform. Will keep an eye on it.
Companies going full remote also means they can completely avoid work visas. It's even cheaper to directly hire someone in a poorer country directly, and not even pay for office space or a relocation allowance...
Good point.

Also the analogy that other person raised ("Your stuff can't be stolen. Period. A different thing is that you may suck at protecting your house") is a good one too.

However, we're talking about different things here.

When do bitcoins really get "stolen"? When terrible things happen, like if people install malware or trojans by accident, or don't apply security updates to their systems.

This, to me, is the equivalent of leaving the door of your house wide open. Not simply not putting an alarm system, you know.

That is, if you want to use bitcoin, have some common sense and minimal computer knowledge, first (minimal includes knowing how to keep your operating system updated, not be a certified sysadmin).
Employment probation. We fired a few people right off the bat within 3 months because they very clearly bullshitted us. One guy fucking used notepad to code. I'm not joking.
Relevant section:

Note that this doesn't even point out VPN/Tor by name, just "concealed through technological means", which might even be broadly interpreted to include WHOIS privacy guard services or other really silly things.
Reading that job spec I assumed they handle all the PCI side of things themselves, if using stripe etc I doubt you'd need such an involved role.

Given the mess it looks like on the front, I would bet PAN's are stored in clear text too!
You're right that it's unlikely that the current generation of mechanical 'robots' will be able to effectively take over.

We are looking a future where we'll have armed AI e.g.:

http://motherboard.vice.com/en_uk/blog/the-pentagons-vision-...

That said, even without weapons, a Strong AI could probably just manipulate humans into self destructing. Given the amount of effort going into machine learning to convince humans to buy things, I suspect it won't be much of a stretch for a Strong AI to switch to more nefarious objectives.
Could such a system exist on the ISS at a miniature scale? Obviously a candidate for the Mars journey and settlement. Processing and incinerating shit for rich and poor.

Makes you wonder how sewage treatment could one day hold massive profits.
It does use Widevine. Sling is basically the Move Networks technology EchoStar (DISH) bought three or four years ago, combined with some amendments for digital to EchoStars existing distribution deals.

Heck, if you check DNS they are even still using the old Move CDN configs:

~> host www.sling.com
www.sling.com is an alias for cdn.prod.movetv.com.c.footprint.net.
They also make it very difficult to delete your account. Rather than just have a link on the site, you have to contact customer services and they say they'll respond in 24-48 hours.

Not to mention the ways they try to hide you removing your card details. If you want to remove your card details, do the following:

The easiest way to do this would be to go to the My Account page then click on the ‘Add Moonpig Prepay Credit’ link, click on the Buy link and your saved card details will be shown onscreen. Click on the ‘Remove Card’ option.
It's splitting hairs. (and what I'm doing, only $deity knows)
No, as it says in the article, they understood the tech entirely. There is just a trolley-problem-esque debate about whether withholding the key to stop future attacks was worth it.
How Bitcoin levels of speculation desirable for a currency?

If my national currency was going up like bitcoin spending would decrease a lot. Why you'd you buy a car today when you can buy it in a month and spend 20% less? The economy would stop functioning.

And when the value of currency falls people want to spend it as fast as possible.
This CoL thing is a cool HR sales tactic, but breaks down quite fast when looking at saving rates and long term equity.

The thing is, by having a mortgage, you are effectively building equity in a good you can resell later (a house).

Cheap house means you can sell it for cheap and retire where it's cheap. Meanwhile, a property in a hot market where the mortgage is still the same fraction of your income can be resold for much more. Gives you freedom to retire where you want.
A neat video of the openscan mini in action can be found at https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/jx2aww/3d_print...

and the results from that scan along with the cloud processing photogrammetry workflow can be seen in the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhvFq-OYa1g

The author says he wants a one-click solution to getting a 3d model of a scanned object. I think that's a great goal - as easy as hitting the green button on a photocopier, except now three dimensional. From the automated picture-taking and that cloud processing workflow, this project is already remarkably close.
Can anyone tell from the S1, how much are they valuing themselves with 355M ARR in 2020.
All of this thread comes down to those who want their laptops to be Swiss Army knifes ready for any situation, and those who don't.
You can use any programming language you like to control ffmpeg.

I've exported my data from 35 services, most via GDPR/CCPA exports. I've written a couple scripts to automate some, but it's not painless. I hope to eventually have a local-first unified store of my data that's easy to analyze.

As a part of this, I've been working on a Go library [0] for processing local Firefox- and Chromium-based browser data, including history, bookmarks, and extension settings.

If you get the user table, you can crack the password hashes offline, at your leisure.
No kidding. That's why I put (some) users. Because brute-forcing the hashes will give you some password plain texts.

I guess that I missed a step in the explanation where you attack the hashes.

However I see that they say that they are using some best practices (bcrypt, "salt per-password") so this attack will be largely mitigated.
But not Buildkit and docker-compose.
Have fun staying poor. Ignoring technology that is disrupting money, one of the primary tools driving human progress, is foolish at best.
Compared to just creating your own dependencies inside a class and not writing interfaces, IOC adds a great deal of complexity.
> Sole outlier? Hardly. Half of the web is powered by PHP, including tons of websites with huge traffic and usage.

Quality > quantity (just because a language is widely used doesn't mean it's well designed), a huge amount of this quantity are WordPress blogs, MediaWiki sites, or relatively low traffic e-commerce sites. It is not the dominant language of "tons of websites with huge traffic and usage."[1] [Facebook and Wikipedia are the notable outliers...so I'll admit I shouldn't have said sole outlier]. The "quantity" argument is also weakened by the fact that websites are not the only things programming languages are used for, and in terms of overall popularity it's use is a fraction of that of C or Java.[2] PHP also has far less job openings than Java or C# and only slightly more than Python[3] (I imagine Python will eclipse PHP fairly soon).

If you're interested in why so many developers consider PHP a poorly designed language I'd suggest reading PHP: a fractal of bad design[4]

I think you'll find that most small businesses that do work for the government only do work for the government. The Byzantine processes are significantly different. That being said, once you do tunnel through the process there is profit to be had.

I understand one of the current best tricks is to sell your company to a Native American, while retaining control. A portion of your profits go to your new owner, but it allows you to check the "Native American owned business" box.
Windows Mobile, Blackberry, and Palm were all players then too.
hehe time to order =)
joakin....ahh you noticed :)

That was by design. A little hack to get the behavior I wanted out of Rails. Rather than doing something else like 'marketing.html' or whatever, I tried to stay as close to the default as possible :)
Given the number of suppliers and retail options, and the various metrics they use to measure themselves, I bet it is very difficult to tell.
Really nice design.

Not that it matters but your index is an imdex.html :)
Personally, if I had a PSN account, I would do this immediately. Sony's announcement specifically stated that the hackers got email addresses, PSN usernames, and passwords (among other things). Assuming they properly salted and hashed all the passwords, then it should take a long time to crack them, but I wouldn't take my chances with that. Even big companies have been known to screw up basic things when it comes to security.
Um, missing earnings means earnings was less than what the wall street analysts expected, it doesn't mean it was less than last year.
It also says something that I immediately knew who wrote the article before even clicking through.
So, Visa didn't believe the VeriFone video?
24500/year is about 500 per week. It's going to be slightly higher since the high-profile of this compromise means that lots of people will check their activity.
Crunchyroll has gone a long way towards providing a legitimate avenue for fans to get access to anime and I hope things can only get better with time.

That's not to say there aren't any problems that need to be ironed out though. Off of the top of my head, my two biggest complaints with CR stem from the consistency of their subtitles, which can range from decent to atrocious, and the lack of availability of titles that I had been looking forward to watching. Obviously, they won't be able to get their hands on every show that's out there since they're competing with the likes of Funimation, but it'd be nice if they could wrap their arms around a greater percentage of titles each season.

It'd also help too if the Japanese studios would try to embrace the internet rather than constantly resisting against it. Sometimes, I get the feeling that they're so stuck in the PPV television rut and aren't confident enough to start releasing episodes online.
While I detest PayPal, and it makes me livid that any company places upper-bound (and/or character) restrictions on passwords, I did want to mention that Yubico provides a two-factor authentication key which works with PayPal: http://yubico.com/VIP

I don't have any stake in either company, but I was glad when Google rolled out 2-factor and I am especially glad to be able to finally use 2-factor for safeguarding my money.
The example in the OP (fuck) was so common until the early 1800s because of the typographic convention to substitute an f for an s. In other words, the word "suck" was being written as "fuck", which is why the word appeared so often until the early 1800s.
Although I find the page funny, I find the HN title rather clickbaity. The HN rules explicitly discourage editorializing this way. Isn’t there a better title?
The page just crashed Edge on my phone. Was that part of the joke or a serendipitously funny coincidence?
chiptone and EDM might work for some but it would drive many people insane- try techno
Having known several people in the past who used LSD and shrooms, I never noticed anything outstanding about their psychology as attributed by this article or that their mind was any less/more anxious or depressed than say relatively straight edge people like me who've never done any drug other than socially inspired alcohol sessions.
I'm curious... if you're mostly doing talk, then wouldn't something around a 32k stream be potentially sufficient these days? I haven't run the numbers, but if anyone has calculated on what it takes to run a web/online stream I'd be interested.

Of course, that precludes music licenses for the most part.
Would food in your mouth work?
more like really straight forward over my head. I appreciate you taking the time to explain it - still can't grasp the concept. Back to framework connecting.
The nice thing about standards is there are so many of them...

...and they don't have to represent more than a fraction of what's out there.

Also, "bog standard" is not something real Amurricans recognize.
I have yet to find a scientific calculator that can solve indefinite integrals; I don’t think the one you posted does. Even my personal favorite, the fx-115 ES PLUS doesn’t because that would usually require a full CAS, which most calculators stop at.
We had one of these kinda bugs.

If you uninstalled our software it deleted a major chunk of your Windows registry, crippling your computer. It was a one character error in our script. The first ticket read "Uninstalling [Product] destroys your computer".

I was responsible for customer support. Good times! Was a rough week. We managed to not get sued.

> the ads on every page are just like time travel
Indeed, quite interesting. I had a thought that having these magazines scans in searcheable form, could help to fight patent trolls. For example, I saw an ad there for 'Gina -- the interactive assistant.."

> He also can hedge by short-selling (and lock in a sure profit no matter what), but you'd need a big-value account at a brokerage to hedge on favorable terms.

It's interesting, because I thought about this. When I worked for the company I wasn't allowed to hedge, because you can't buy shorts in the company you work for.

Now that I'm out I can, but the problem is, the company gave me such good options there is no way I can buy an opposite option for the hedge. For example, there is no retail short for more than two years, but my options still have between 6 and 9 years left.
RedHat is pleased to announce the general availability of our new RedHat Enterprise Data Recovery service. Please contact your account manager for details.
Yes, I know, that's part of the point. One cannot achieve the proposed goal, given the economic environment we live in. It's cutting off your nose to spite your face. In other words, it's nice, thought, but ill-conceived.
>Isn't speed limited by the amount of light that can be received in a small lens like on a phone?

It's also limited by sensor noise and efficiency.

Presumably, we'll push all three of these limits over the next few years.
Two points; firstly, SRV records offer other advantages over A records beyond simply port diversity.

Most notably: the ability to exist at the apex of a domain, resolving to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses simultaneously, and weighted-round-robin and fallback support.

The overload of the address record to discover service endpoints is ultimately a murky throwback to when servers were named like pets, not disposable commodities.

Secondly, in this age of containerized deployment it is already common to have many HTTP-substrate services bound to a single address, disambiguated by port. Leveraging the SRV record in DNS means not having to invent yet another endpoint discovery mechanism just to know what port number to connect to.

The reference to "typing an extra 5 characters" invokes a world of manual, static configuration that many of us are happy to have replaced with services that find each other through discovery protocols.
It already has a "fixed in version" listed. Fixing it within a day doesn't sound like no one caring :)

Does it really matter if no one commented "Oops, we screwed up"? It's kinda self-evident that there was a mistake and there's not really much to say; it's clear from the description how bad it is and marking it "Fixed in version" already says it all pretty much.
don't forget that we are also using tolerance on other, non-pandemic things, like school shooting drills, wars on terrorism, etc.

I posted this to "show" yesterday:

The last couple of months, I have been working on Paysly (https://paysly.io) to make it easier to accept payments online.

At its core, Paysly allows developers to create payment flows using Stripe Elements - all from the fronted. During development, I though it would also be cool if it supported the creation of dynamic Stripe Checkout flows from the frontend as well, and also provided a way to verify both kinds of payments using JWTs.

I think the tutorials are the easiest way to understand how Paysly works, and I have created examples for one-time and recurring payments using both Checkout or Elements in the docs (https://docs.paysly.io).

By signing up and linking a Stripe account, Paysly will generate both a live key (for regular payments), and a test key you can use to set up and test integrations.

I think that Paysly makes the (awesome) Stripe developer tool set even more simple to use, but I have been struggling to figure out how to find interested users(...).

The last bit is what I am working on now. Trying to figure out where to post/advertised to help devs writing payments integrations.
Commit to using, breaking and fixing a Linux desktop to learn quickly. I learned a lot running Debian Unstable back back when men were men and unstable was really unstable; so the 2010s.

If minor things are constantly going wrong and getting fixed then the only way that can happen is the user building up a good mental model of how the system works.

An update that breaks X11 will teach you a world of information about terminals. "How do I use a messaging client in a terminal?", "What text editors work in a terminal?", "How do I browse the web from a terminal?", "What games are there for terminals", "How do I watch a movie in the terminal" (ascii).

Get forced to live like that for a week and you also learn how to fix X11 (eg, learning about the difference between 2D and 3D graphics drivers, OSS vs non-OSS drivers, kernel vs userspace). Valuable life skills. Godspeed to the Wayland devs.
Have a look at DRAG https://store.steampowered.com/app/773840/DRAG/ because not having the traditional "centre of the car" physics is there entral proposition. It's developed by someone who frequents our hacker space and his team. I talked with him about his game and his plans, though I did not play it, because I don't care at all for racing games.

I used Palatino for my thesis. The only downside is that the typefacing of mathematics is less standardised than Computer Modern. You have to play around with things in that regard.

Edit: I think AMS Euler for the equations and Palatino for text is not a bad idea.

Don't have the exact link right now but I remember reading an Italian newspaper article a few days ago saying that Italian agriculture is going to be massively impacted by the fact that approximately 300,000 East-European workers had returned to their countries because of the virus.

I actually found something similar, it's this article [1] (in Italian) which is in fact an interview with an Italian agricultural "imprenditore", where he says that there usually are 370,000 seasonal foreign workers working in Italian agriculture, that's 27%. One can imagine that many of them have by now returned to their countries of origin with no possibility of easy return.
