It's worth starting to learn about at almost any point in your life - (smart) investing teaches you how to look at numbers, be rational, fight off being impulsive, think critically, etc, etc.

It's probably good to start learning about investing 2 to 3 years before you actually have any cash, especially talking with smart people about their portfolios. Then you can talk to them a year later, if they're candid they'll tell you how things went. It's interesting seeing my friends who bought trying to time the market largely got wrecked - one friend lost a lot trying to catch the falling knife of Indymac and Washington Mutual. Another friend who lives in Amsterdam is a more fundamental investor, looks at the numbers and the markets. He invested in Marvel before it got bought by Disney and Baidu after the crash, and made a lot since then.

Long story short, it's a good brain exercise no matter what, it's a topic that matters to a lot of people, it's fun, it's very flexible, and so on.
Going forward, this will make achieving true neutrality more of an uphill battle than ever.

How so? Most change and reform happens incrementally, rather than in a big-bang revolution. Yes, this particular set of rules may not get us to the ideal set of policies for the Internet, but it is an improvement on the current condition. If the new rules are wanting, push for further change.
The differences between apes and humans is much larger than between humans, by at least an order of magnitude.

I've only had one android device remain usable significantly longer than 1 year.

Honest question: Do you think the current deplorable spate of attacks against Asians is being driven by wokeness?

I'm not entirely convinced the good old days of the whitepages was actually good.

The phone companies required you to purchase your privacy for a monthly fee if you didn't want to be included in their publications.
Had these publications been privacy focused from the start and required opt-in instead of the extortion for privacy scheme; I have a feeling that these directories would not have existed in the form that they did, if at all.
The useful corner case/"neutral element" for array indexing is the zero-width interval in an arbitrary position.
I just did a quick google search of 'nytimes uighurs' and many articles came up.

Seems like mainstream news has been reporting on it. I know big corps like Disney are avoiding it because of money, but I don't know where the narrative of the mainstream media sweeping it under the rug came from.
PR. Gamers would crucify Nvidia if they did it. All the hate towards scalpers would go to Nvidia doubled.

Right now there is a small chance to buy at MSRP. I managed to do it by calling around small stores in the area that didn't have a functioning online store - scalpers didn't bother with those..
Am I the only one who couldn't get their mobile browser to actually view the graphs at a legible resolution? Tom's hardware is not a small blog, they should have that figured out.

I turn my phone sideways and the video jumps to full screen (which I didn't request) and I hide the video and the graphs are half-cropped. I refresh in landscape and the graphs are still small. I click the graphs and they pop into modal view, still small.

I have to fuss with View Image to actually read them.
I'm assuming they don't want to look like they're profiting on a shortage, which could also make the shortage look intentional.

One workaround would have been to set up a system where the additional profit from auctioned GPU's went to charities.
At least not 3rd party ads. The App Store has ads for apps plus non-stop Arcade+ advertising. The News app is full of ads for News+ and loads of restricted links as well.

This is, however, very different, as you point out.
Does that mean you remember Rings of Power? That was like the 3rd videogame I ever owned. It was hard.
> I assume michwill is probably taking notes!

Yes, you're correct! ;-)

> "one table, one source of truth, period," or "Use for write-seldom; read-often applications only,"

Right. Another model - "write and read only your private information". So, three use-cases here

> information leakage issues

I already think, for solving this we probably should just switch to ORAM. Very valid concern! That said, we cannot really deduce the order of objects referenced in leaf nodes (and there could be a thousand of them).

In any case. Expect our implementation to be extremely simple (but useful) first. Probably suitable for "users record their private info" application. Then we'll be addressing scalability issues, information leakage etc.
This week has been sucky, I expected better. Anyways, the win will pick up today and we'll have a bit of clean air for a few hours, at least.
Single family structures are the problem in the bay area. We need way more density than these things can provide.
Yes, it reminded me of it too!
>The attitude of the managers involved was wrong.

That's a very corporate shill way of putting it. Their actions were murderous. They let people DIE.

Do you not GET THIS somehow or are you attempting to gloss over this issue?

>If your small business produced vehicles on the scale of GM, I would be very very surprised!

Please don't be disingenuous with artful dodging. You're not smart enough to get away with that with me, sorry. I'm VERY OBVIOUSLY not discussing an issue of complexity, I was discussing an issue of ethics and morality.

It's an issue where GM knew they were killing people and did nothing about it for a long time because it wasn't profitable.

No wonder the GM corporate culture is so twisted. You're trying to turn this around as an attack on my supposedly "simple" business instead of owning up to the fact you work for a scummy corporation that killed people in the name of the almighty buck.

You may not want to face that fact and instead go running to another wikipedia link on humorous adages in hopes of distraction, but I'm not falling for it, guy.

People are dead because of your company's lack of ethics. GET IT?

If your goal here is to be public relations for GM, you're failing miserably and I suggest you move along. You're just making me resent GM even more. If you were my PR person, I'd fire you for incompetence.

But, that's how I run MY business anyway.
Is this part of an Intel content marketing campaign to promote awareness of how difficult operational security is for the layman? Perhaps in anticipation of their new security suite and attempt to "eliminate the password?"

Very nice if so!
In my case I frequently need to link to C libraries, so Java is a non-starter. (I realize many others have the opposite problem.) Go allows me to easily build wrappers for the libraries I need, then get to business.

From there it's the concurrency primitives, goroutines and channels, that make Go a true winner. It's easy to build network services that can move work through various stages quickly and in parallel. SEDA-style workloads are a pleasure to implement in Go.
It makes me sad every time I see a new CyanogenMod release, that I seem to have picked the single Samsung device that is locked down more than any other (AT&T Galaxy S4). If someone knows a trick to getting a custom ROM loaded on this device, please let me know. I've tried the "SafeStrap" method with no success. It seems like the XDA community has moved on from this device as well...
The perspective I had, having lived thru it, is once the professional / teaching separation happened, pascal was automatically doomed. There is a tension in american culture of educational vs vocational, and the vocational crowd disposed of pascal in a few short years. Very politically incorrect for adherents of that group to teach anything that isn't directly mentioned by name in job requirements or ivy league applications, and the educators realized you can teach "big O" and "quicksort" and "what is a finite automata" in any language, so they had no long term allegiance. So bye bye pascal.

(Another interesting analogy to Pascal is cursive handwriting... ever educator, ever, always claimed we'd be required to use it elsewhere although they personally find it a complete waste of time, typical emperor has no clothes or blind conformity to a dead belief system. My own kids are not being taught cursive in school, so progress is possible)

Nothing in IT is ever new, fundamentally the JVM concept is just a re-implementation of the "famous at that time" pascal p-code system. Compile pascal to p-code once, run that p-code on any system. And from memory, just like java, you end up needing customized sources for specific machines and specific versions of the p-code interpreter which eliminated that marketing bullet point in actual practice.
There was "Community Memory" in Berkeley in the 70s:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Memory
There are around 7 replies in that thread specifying they have a Nexus 6 and see the issue.

I have one, but have not noticed it. Though I always use it with a BT earpiece, so that might account for the difference?
I don't know if it was intentional, but most of the intro literature around Scala seems to avoid terms like monad, just introducing the reader to Option, Future, etc., and letting the reader notice the common patterns (map, flatMap).

Eventually, the reader learns about monads without ever explicitly learning about monads.

If you think quicksort is bloated, wait till you see a full implementation of depth-first search (I mean full: with all the back/cross/forward-edges and everything). It's a good exercise, but not very pretty.

Most of the bloat comes from the fact that when you implement it in Haskell, the resulting program doesn't really depend on being executed in the IO monad, and can be easily modified to run in many other monads too (like ST, or some transformed monad). The result is that the Haskell imperative version is far more general than a similar C implementation.

Aggressive control of HFT in the market is already on the books. Will it save the markets in the next phase?

Nope, but it's on the books. Hilarious that no-one here is connected enough to know this.

I can figure out which algebra to use and what light research to perform... but may you please educate me on these "Fermi estimates" regarding salary negotiation?
I believe this is currently done, i.e. timezone databases track not only the current timezone information but store the valid dates for which a set of timezone rules apply.

This would be necessary not only for the example provided in the link, but also for larger changes, like several years ago when the US extended DST hours, and several other countries followed suit. (i.e. DST now begins on the second Sunday of March, rather than later in April)
5 - 6 hours. I feel terrible all the time. I have stupidly never seriously tried to fix my sleep habits. I'm going to go to bed early tonight
> "The nuts"?

The people who believe the Conspiracy Theories, which is a group orthogonal to the people who actually have delusional parasitosis. Thinking you have bugs on you doesn't make you nuts; thinking you have artificial fibers growing out of your skin doesn't make you nuts; however, thinking it's due to chemicals being sprayed by jets under the control of the NWO Zionist Illuminati cabal is nuts.
A more interesting poll would accept a vector rather than scalar value. For me, over the last week, my sleep cycle:

Sunday: 3 hours of sleep at night, 1 hour nap in the day

Monday: 3 hours of sleep at night, 1 hour nap in the day

Tuesday: 3 hours of sleep at night, 2 different 1 hour naps in the day

Wednesday: 4 hours of sleep at night, 1 hour nap in the day

Thursday: 5 hours of sleep at night, 1 hour nap in the day

Friday: 5 hours of sleep at night, 1 hour nap in the day

Saturday: 9 hours of sleep at night, 1 hour nap in the day

Sunday: 10 hours of sleep at night, 1 hour nap in the day

We had a deadline at work this week, and several times I stayed up late, writing code, trying to meet the deadline. So my sleep cycle was completely scrambled, last week and this week. I've been only partially catching up over the last 2 days.

I would think the average amount of sleep is less interesting than the variance people demonstrate, in their own lives, over the course of a month or a year.
What you want, then, is a Standard. Smearing is decidedly non-Standard.

The Standard we have says to insert a leap second, or to be offline during the (short) period containing the leap second, if you can tolerate the downtime.
They still don't work very well if you use wasm-bindgen: https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/issues/2389 (consider voting for it).

P.S. It's very hard to work without wasm-bindgen, since you have to wrap browser API manually otherwise.
My company has its code basically split in half between Python and Rust. Our Python code uses mypy pretty aggressively. The iteration speed difference is... drastic. Rust far outshines Python in terms of our ability to get something done, maintain it, and iterate on it over time.
What about collectibles like Magic the Gathering? Some cards have had serious appreciation. Eg Alpha black lotus going for $500k
No, take for example Discord. It's easy to find servers with people who share your interests.
> The interesting aspect is that it is evidently easier to put something on a personal blog than get it into Wikipedia.

Yes, of course it is.

> I doubt any new entry by a new contributor would last 48h.

I've done a fair bit of editing on Wikipedia and can only assert with just as much evidence that this is untrue. in discussions on deletions, the author barely ever comes up and, if it does, it's because the author is obviously the article's subject or someone close.

Just looking at this thread, three out of four people are complaining about their edits being rejected on articles about their company, their grandfather, and similar. And yet only the person with the company does as much as hint at the fact that it's a massive conflict of interest.
Back when I was a younger man, and my company was in its infancy, I made a Wikipedia article for it... it got shot down fairly quickly via the AfD process.

It's the Wikipedia process working as it should... we were nobodies back then, and we wanted an article with no sources.

Except now my company's article has a black mark on it, and even though we're much larger, used by large corporations, and have some articles written about us, any attempts to revive the article are instantly shot down.

So we'll just never be on Wikipedia, that's okay too.
One way that collectibles can generate dividends is by renting them out to others. For instance, video game items like CS:GO skins. The popularity of a Chinese skins renting site caused increases in the prices of mid-tier items as investors bought them to lend to others.
That's a good point, sounds convenient.
As someone who lives in a society, I'd say it's both the store and the customer's job to make sure the right people get paid.
Holy crap, how did I forget your last point? I'm going to update with that when mediatemple is more stable (making edits seems to screw with the db) with credit to you. That's really important. Regulated industries with constant permission from a third party are things to try to stay away from. That can often intersect with "look for something that is required or subsidized by law".
And one that gains a lot from formatting beyond what HN provides. I was only able to skim the comment last night, but was able to sit and read the entire blog post with improved formatting.
From your blog:

hashed_password = scrypt(password, salt + pepper)
store(hashed_password, salt)

Why aren't you storing the (N, r, p) parameters too? Is it because your library's "scrypt" function automatically encodes all the parameters it uses in the returned string? (This is not hypothetical; it's exactly what many scrypt implementations do.) If so, congratulations: You just stored the pepper bits in your database, because they're part of the "hashed_password" value.
tip of the iceberg. Try experimenting in an unrelated niche with an exact match domain. I'm sure you'll be surprised at the results.
guynamedloren, with your passion and experience, I can see the following happening:

Day 1: Move to Bay Area,
Day 2: Land job,
Day 3: Chase dreams

Just show employers what you've done and what you want to do. They'll understand if it doesn't coincide with your degree, and frankly, I don't think they'll care about it.
"The longest link he could make with existing
point-to-point WiFi connections was 400-500 feet;
with the new Super WiFi gear in the TV band, he can
reach a mile—and it's not a point-to-point signal."

Something doesn't make sense here. This is the furthest they could get with point-to-point line of sight links, on towers. When I worked at a WISP, we routinely made longer PtP links—heck, even longer point-to-multipoint links. A mile should be easily doable with a clear line of sight.

Using http://www.afar.net/rf-link-budget-calculator/ shows that a five-mile link should be no problem with 24dBi grid dishes (which are more or less the size of DirecTV, DISH, etc. dishes).
In Australia at least, if you pay for hardware, software or education which you use directly for work purposes or for self-education directly related to your current occupation, it is tax-deductible.
hah, looks like it's quite common :) sad though...
>and do all the things right, that Facebook does wrong.

So... rebuild from scratch then?
Your description of the claimed novelty differs wildly from the majority opinion in Diehr: http://brlewis.com/y/2004/diehr.htm

According to the respondents, the continuous measuring of the temperature inside the mold cavity, the feeding of this information to a digital computer which constantly recalculates the cure time, and the signaling by the computer to open the press, are all new in the art.
If you can, do freelancing. You've got an amazing and exciting portfolio. Go find a local business who could do with an update of their existing website, or ask if they need some software to make their lives a bit easier. If they ask what you've done in the past, you can show them.

To be able to show stuff you've made is an excellent start.
Absolutely. My only obligation is that I have a girlfriend here in Illinois, but they make airplanes for that, right?
Ah, of course, merge nodes have multiple parents.

I had never heard of octopus merges though. It's fascinating. Here[1] is the article I read on it.

> If that means everyone is essentially comfortable (ie, all essential needs are met, including things like basic recreation... I consider "play" a basic human need), I'd say that qualifies.

There's considerable evidence that "comfort" is driven largely by perceived relative economic conditions, not absolute conditions, so as long as most people aren't doing above average compared to what they perceive around them, we won't achieve that.

> Will there always be people with ambitions that outstrip their resources? I'd certainly think so. But there's an awful lot of people out there who don't share your ambitions for space travel.

Even if only some people had unmet needs, the society would still fail to be post-scarcity, since post-scarcity means rationing is not necessary because there isn't contention for resources. Even if there are only a few people who will always want more (though there is no reason grounded in the reality of actual human behavior to believe that there will only be a few, no matter the objective conditions), they will eventually place other people into a deprived position without a social system for allocating scarce resources, hence, no post-scarcity.
Too many buzzfeed links from people who I have nothing in common with. It takes a lot of effort to scroll through pictures of people you hardly knew back in college. Being socially aloof does not help either ;)
It matters how you say something. This doesn't leave much room for discussion. That's why this would attract criticism. Even though your points are valid they are not beyond discussion. Personally I prefer interpreted languages, Because of the faster edit-run cyclus. Compilation Time can be excessive. I prefer debugging over extensive testing all the time because testing takes time all the time and debugging only sometimes. Now testing is still necessary for production level applications pre-release because you don't want to make people angry. But otherwise....
I don't like obligatory typing because I find the extra effort of specifying the types to usually not be worth the effort of typing.

Hm, this is a bit too full-featured for my tastes. I'm currently on a Nokia 101, and my gripes are few: if only the battery cover would stay on better (current solution: tape), and the build quality was $60 as opposed to the $10-20 currently, it'd be ideal. Other than that, it is perfection. I'm glad this type of thing is still being made, even if the trade-off between the triad [features, price, build quality] isn't exactly where i'd have liked it.
"The riskiest programs often reek of politics, producing fiascos like the Bush-era super-ferries, which benefited a firm led by Republican ex-Navy Secretary John Lehman, or the similarly disastrous Clinton-era MarAd loan to modernize a shipyard near Boston, a pet project of the late Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy. Credit programs, especially the more obscure ones, tend to have well-positioned benefactors. South Dakota Republican John Thune, a former railroad lobbyist who is about to chair the Senate Commerce Committee, once pushed through a major expansion of a railroad loan program on behalf of his former employer, while Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenow has protected those dicey loan guarantees for biorefineries as chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee.

But if too much risk can be a problem, not enough risk can also be a problem, as federal credit ends up subsidizing safe transactions, crowding out private lenders and helping people who don’t need help. The Ex-Im Bank has defended itself by highlighting its 0.2 percent default rate, which only raises the question of why a government entity is needed to make such low-risk loans to corporate behemoths like Boeing and General Electric. The same question could apply to the Overseas Private Investment Corporation’s reliably profitable financing for U.S. firms building fancy hotels and power plants abroad. If the deals are low-risk layups, why is Uncle Sam involved?
