For github, this is a smart move.

But, really, you can hardly negotiate with Chinese government. I'm pretty sure that they will deny this attack and re-emphasize their so-called Internet policy.

If I were github, instead of a warning message, I would redirect the workload to some Chinese government's website and let them suffer what they've created. Let's face it, they are waging a war on the Internet first.

Edit: Disclaimer: I know that my post is quite biased, especially this one. I'm not suggesting that people should wage a war to Chinese government. Please take my words just as a (biased?) sample from an ordinary Chinese citizen who is really tired of the government's censorship.
It depends I know that old school telcos use security Vetting for people with wide access to systems and this is DV Developed Vetting or TS (in American usage)

And our Internal security team (BT Security) was bad news if you where investigated - they have a ferocious reputation
I was merely making a statement of fact - that if you are in YC, and you have a cash flow problem and receivables, odds are very good that someone will wire you some money or cough up a credit card that actually is good for millions of dollars. That isn't necessarily the case for everyone everywhere. Many businesses die because they don't have access to the capital to fulfill orders.
The question is not is opentable worth it, the question is this question worth it being posted on this site, or is it just completely irrelevent drivel? I'd say the latter is true.
Behaving based on expected value is the only rational choice.
I was there too, I don't remember there being two lunches auctioned off?
I think I finally understand politics. In some realms reason just isn't, and maybe even can't be, king.
The ultimate test? Work with them.
I'm not in this space or planning on investing time into this but I just wanted to say Kudos to Microsoft for creating something that developers are excited about again... even if they didn't indent to do that. I'd start hacking on this if I wasn't invested in a different direction.
Large companies have often used internal memos on purpose for leaking information. On some level, they want the information to be leaked (companies with thousands of staff makes it nearly impossible for it not to be).
Certainly Rust sits where C++ is. Zig and Rust are definitely best used for different things, but I think sweating rust off as in between C and Java is inaccurate.
You could use adhesive zip tie anchors, paired with velcro straps rather than zip ties.
Eh, I think that leaving out first-class functions is unforgivable. The complete spirit of functional programming can be neatly summed up as:

"Functional programming is the creation of useful programs using only functions mapping input arguments (perhaps themselves functions!) to outputs (also perhaps functions!) without external state."

You can't leave out the function part of functional programming.
Sounds like planned obsolescence.
Adding my anecdote to this thread:

Started noticing hair loss in my early 20s but managed to convince myself that it was just stress. By my mid 20s when I was in a very low stress position I finally concluded that it was just plain MPB. I continued to ignore it for a while, just cutting my hair a little shorter than the longer hair that I wore before (usually more out of laziness than anything else). It finally came to a head a couple of months ago when I noticed that I had stopped turning the lights on when I went into the bathroom because I didn't want to see how thin my hair looked that day. That day I made an appointment with my doctor and got a prescription for Finasteride. Since I was very afraid of the sexual side effects of the drug, before I started I decided to shave my head to confirm my suspicions that I didn't like the shaved look. If I hated it, I'd start the medication and deal with the sides. Funny thing is, I really liked it. People don't treat me any differently than they did before which is what I was afraid of. Sure, women don't come up and hit on me but they never did when I had longer hair either so I consider it a wash. And I like it more and more now that I'm hitting the gym and adding muscle. Bald + muscular is a great look. Shaving my head (down to a #1 in my case) isn't my ideal situation but the way I see it, MPB is a better condition to have than many, many other genetic conditions.

If you're where I was a couple of months ago and your thinning hair is stressing you out, just give it a shot and shave your head. Best case, you like it like I do. Worst case, you hate it and you can see if fin would work for you.
Off subject: yellow is the normal color of teeth. Exceptionally white teeth look really weird, although the artificial, plastic, tv look is apparently embraced by some.
I disagree with you about a particular point.

It hasn't actually been virtually impossible to legally own a gun. In fact, since the bill passed, the number of legal guns has increased substantially, especially along the last three or four years.
I would guess that the NGAD prototype[0] has given USAF leadership confidence to publicly alude to F-35 shortcomings.

There shouldn't be any difference between the quoted resource limits and reality, if there is something is definitely wrong, and I want to get that identified and resolved.

I haven't had time / opportunity to look in to Microk8s or k3s. Would it be straightforward for me to replicate what you were seeing? Just follow a simple online tutorial?

Note: We built/build OCI with security in mind, and encouraging a more secure-by-default approach. All of the standard platform images come with the firewall enabled and locked down, and the default network security groups are locked down too. One example brought up in the earlier days of the platform build out were all those times you see people's MongoDB accidentally exposed. Obviously this is a total guess as to what you ran in to, it's definitely something that trips up customers.
No expert, but it seems to make sense that helium is particularly hard to contain based on molecular diameter:

Helium 2.18
Argon 3.67
Oxygen 3.64
Nitrogen 3.64
“Air” 3.74
Pretty on point except everyone is tired of his stupidity at this point.

His opinion is that BTC (the original) is not Bitcoin, but his twice forked shitcoin is the really real actual bitcoin.
A modern desktop linux distro like Ubuntu should be easy enough to pick up without any additional learning. You should get up to speed in no time and be able to do your day-to-day surfing, email, etc right away. Just install it and start using it. Have a dual boot to Windows/OSX as a fallback if you need.
I'm both an artist and a programmer and not great at either, but this is a common issue. I'd also recommend this essay: http://gapingvoid.com/2004/07/25/how-to-be-creative

All my attempts are terrible compared to what I imagined, even if I'm trying to be practical. Some of my attempts work themselves out to be better or different than what I imagined. Its a crapshoot.

There are a lot of creative things I've quit on that I probably shouldn't have. I think in the end we need to embrace and be compassionate with inner noob. Sure, he's not good and he gets odd stares from non-creative people, but in the end he's the guy who blossoms into the guy who everyone dismisses as an "overnight success" or "natural talent." Everyone forgets how incredibly difficult and demoralizing it is to waste time producing sub-par work just for the off-chance that you might get good at something.
Great service, but it seemed liked they really slowed down about a year ago and gave up on trying to do anything about their growing backlog on GetSatisfaction. As a very early user, it's been frustrating that they haven't done really basic, cheap improvements that obviously would have big impact and lots of users are screaming for.

I can't imagine how RIM owning them will improve the situation. My bet is that within 6 months their GS page is taken down altogether. http://community.tungle.me/tungle
Last time around, Apple started limiting the number of iPhones that a customer could add to cart, and also centralized its logistics by closing stores. They're unlikely to acknowledge delays proactively and will probably try to avoid making them visible.
Jailbreak + cron + rm
Maybe your own code is functional, but the DOM and browser API you interact with is a prototype-based object model. A JavaScript application is basically event handlers attached to the DOM/browser framework, and you produce output by changing properties on these objects. So I don't think you can escape the OO paradigm.

(In most cases you don't need to know if the DOM is class based or prototype-based though. It only matters if you use advances features like modifying the prototype of an element.)

Even if you work outside the browser, you still have to work with the basic types like arrays in a OO manner.
Thats why it says indirectly. Google can harm your traffic if they want to
What about the shelf life of an SSD? I have also heard that your system needs some kind of TRIM support otherwise performance slowly degrades. what's the truth in that?
http://www.chictopia.com/ is also in a good position to provide this sort of service. They have much of the same information and an engaged user community.
This story (although pointing not to the source but an article on it) includes some very good comments. In one, I suggested a few changes to the source which improve the accuracy of the data, if you want to know just how much stuff the iPhone's keeping track of. Interesting stuff.

Indeed. Even if you don't use OpenBSD, or dislike some of their team members, they do develop great software and documentation which is used in a lot more systems than just OpenBSD itself.
Percussion cap revolvers are very prone to dangerous cross firing in the cylinder. Mr. Colt should have emphasized that.

Yeah this is a bit silly... "Yes Facebook, what I really wanted to see was a helicopter view of the building."
The plan was unveiled on Monday at a brief but highly choreographed news conference in Manhattan, where Jay Z stood alongside more than a dozen musicians identified as Tidal’s owners. They included Rihanna, Kanye West, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Jack White, Alicia Keys, the country singer Jason Aldean, the French dance duo Daft Punk (in signature robot costumes), members of Arcade Fire, and Beyoncé, Jay Z’s wife.

That's a lot of cooks!
agree.....it still amazes me to this day that people don't wake up and realize that inflation is "government theft" you had 100 dollars today....next year with 6% inflation next year you have $94

idiots run around looking at their 401k's and their "property values" thinking they are rich but its really.....no you idiot the government stole from you and you are too stupid to realize.

It's not science, or science-adjacent, or anything to do with science. It doesn't pretend to be. That's not what it's for.

Ok, so what is it for? And how do you justify its use?

I don't understand. The news "came out" about the Kashoggi murder in a official government report from the Director of National Intelligence. Here it is: https://www.dni.gov/index.php/newsroom/reports-publications/...

Seem like pretty loud crickets to me.
The multiple targets is certainly a big appeal, but the biggest for me is it's just a nice language to work in, so I often prefer it over whatever domain's native language I'm working with

For example, when I do web frontend work I often use it over TypeScript - I broke down why earlier https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26084187

Same story for say, writing blender plugins; personally I find prefer if I can use a strictly type functional language and then compile to python, rather than write in python
Great story! My wife and I recently sold our home and are now renting. My stress level has decreased 10 fold in the last 4 months since selling. There is always that little nag in the back of your mind regarding a house: "I would love to go on that trip and we have the money, but our <A/C || roof || plumbing || appliance> is going to need to be replaced in the next year or so."

I don't think I am cut out for a permanent #vanlife, but it sure sounds like a cool arrangement if you have the proclivity to handle all that it entails. My wife and I plan to do slow travel when our kids go to college. Move every year or so with a light load while learning different cultures.

Would love to hear more about the financial aspects of #vanlife... from my perspective, I reckon you save a bundle.... but I could be wrong.
I bought it in late 2012 or early 2013 I believe. I tried repair first in early 2017 (moisture killed the SSD they all said). Then late last year I tried again. In the meantime I have essentially used my work Mac as the only laptop.

Previous company required me to leave work laptop in office that's why I bought one. Of late this company has been pressuring to install surveillance apps so my new-found interest in reviving my old laptop personal usage - browsing, mail etc - I don't anything else from my personal laptop.

So essentially it has not been used since 2017 (I keep it safe in an airtight bag). It boots up and shows the [?] as in no disk found.
I'd love to know what these nomadic folks do for friends and socialisation. I think I'd find it exceedingly lonely to uproot myself from urban civilisation (that includes the case of living in a new city every few month).
I think it's mostly to get you to install the app, so they can advertise at you.
That's ridiculous. How do you recover trillions of dollars lost in the credit default swap market from a CEO's assets? It's up to creditors to determine whether someone can be trusted to pay them back, and to give credit to them accordingly. An individual should always be able to declare bankruptcy, with no recourse for the creditor but to avoid loaning them money in the future. It's completely unacceptable that credit should flow like water to anyone who will soak it up, and then use the court system to force them to pay it back with 300% interest and fees added on. This simply reeks of corruption.
Advertising is bought because it works. Advertising in nice places costs more. iOS users are a much, much more attractive demographic than the general public who see/click ads.

A reasonably high-end display advertiser will pay a relatively high CPM to have their brand associated with an object like an iPhone with a high perceived value, even if no one ever clicks, and especially if theirs is the only ad on the screen at a time.

With the insanely fine-grained targeting information that Apple has about you and your device ---such as your name, age, country and home billing zipcode, how much you use your iPhone, your purchase history with Apple, whatever other information you've ever given Apple like income and occupation, your current location (in principle), what apps you like, what music you like, etc.---they can probably pick the right ad for each user well enough get really, really good average click through rates. You'd be amazed at how well you can crank up the average click likelihood even with way coarser targeting information.
It's completely harmless and it seems like a nice way to acknowledgement that the comment was appreciated. How is that possibly a bad thing? -4 means that 5 people decided that that comment was offensive to them. The only thing offensive about it is the lack of an apostrophe. Like, the person is just being nice. That they're at -4 for acknowledging their appreciation for another user's joke (5 people disliked this?!), and I'm only at 0 for an obviously negative, off-topic message where I call everyone heartless bastards (only 1 person disliked this) is absurd.
In the context I believe they mean pages with a large number of grammatically well-formed sentences.
This article is awfully disingenuous for claiming to discredit SpaceX.

He claims that the cost of the Delta IV is lower than the Falcon 9 which is a misleading on multiple levels. First, SpaceX is a relatively new company which lacks the engineering legacy of Delta I-IV to build on. That they managed to launch the Falcon 9 on day 1 is nothing short of astounding. Scaling and legacy will reduce costs which he conveniently ignores.

Secondly, he claims that the $1.6B NASA COTS contract is more than the stated launch price. While it is true that a Delta IV launch is similar to the cost of NASA's launch configuration, we must remember that its different LAUNCH CONFIGURATIONS. Delta IV just shoves a satellite into orbit. Falcon 9 must dock with the ISS which is a different can of worms. A more proper comparison would be Falcon 9 with Constellation which is horrendously expensive to operate and over development budget.

This is before he degenerates into truly unforgivable pile of FUD, asking why couldn't "SpaceX obtain a contract from either a commercial or governmental entity for the development of the Falcon 1? Where are the private investors? It could be perhaps that there is no market."

Quite frankly, that's a load of disingenuous BS that does nothing more than to point to the author's lack of research.

One of the principles SpaceX was predicated on was the private development of rockets, not the cost-plus model the author assumes. Besides Musk himself, they got John Doerr and several other big name VCs. The fact that SpaceX was develop rockets with just private money is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Another nice bit of artifice on the author's part is his loudly wondering where the launch market is. Looking at their launch manifest, they already have over 25 launches lined up. It will much more once the company has matured.

Long story short: this author is full of shit.
Uhm, I'm pretty sure the command-line interface does not require Gnome or Nautilus...
"People can eat other types of food," is not in itself a justification for banning a certain type of food.

> 1) forcing people to make new content is obviously
> good in the way of promoting learning

You could also make the assertion that a blanket ban on fast food restaurants would be a good thing because it would force people to eat healthier.

You can't defend a system just because there are ways to not bump up against its limitations. That argument should be about whether we gain any benefit that is worth its limitations.
yeah here they get to be the feature of the show and i'm sure it got them a ton of other press about the promotion
I'm in NZ and just got more delivered as well. I find them really useful, currently I use them for:

How are you not affiliated with your friend?
Awesome, the unexplained downvote. There is factual content in my post, with cites, and yet someone would rather bury comments that challenge their worldview than debate. I guess we are dealing with libertarian idiocy then.
also in many places it's common that the house is co-owned between partners (i.e. husband and wife), so the two should have wealth for 1.5M$. Also, debts.
That the ice ball thread is the longest on this submission is kind of funny, but its HN so thats fine. At least its not the highest voted one, so theres still hope.
The oldest fragment from the New Testament documents (apart from this fragment) is Rylands Library Papyrus P52 [0], a fragment from John's gospel, John 18:31–33 (front) and John 18:37-38 (back), circa AD 125, which is on display at John Rylands Library in Manchester, England.

The John fragment is one of several fragments in libraries and museums around the world, and there is an interesting list [1] of these if you are interested in textual criticism ("Are the documents we read today the same as what were originally written?") and planning a "history holiday" in any of those places any time soon.

See also, FF Bruce's "The New Testament Documents: Are They reliable?" [2] for a scholarly discussion of the historicity of the New Testament. FF Bruce was incidentally a member of the council of governors for John Rylands Library.

I think the future depends on whether energy continues to get cheaper or not (cheaper energy probably leads to increased consumption, but it also makes it cheaper to clean stuff up, and gives people more time to worry about cleaning up, etc.).

I also think that one of the many factors involved with the fall off of crime is that (the typical) stuff (found in a house) isn't worth as much anymore.

In 1990, a "nice" TV might have cost $1,000 (inflation adjusted, $1,800). Today, a fantastic TV costs $400.
The assertion in the post title is absolutely untrue. You can get foods like beans, chicken, eggs, milk, oatmeal, and pasta in bulk and for very little money. There isn't some false dichotomy between "esoteric, lefty food" and McDonald's cheeseburgers.

If you really want to save money on food for a family, get a slow cooker and make large quantities of food at once. The article is correct when it states that food is more plentiful for the poor now than ever.
I wonder if the data could be displayed anonymously, i.e. "your salary is 80th percentile in your department" or something like that. It would give you the information without disclosing how much each individual makes.
You mean you aren't allowed to say, or you aren't really sure?
Neat, but I hate the tibia perspective.

Is it possible to kick someone from a game/lobby? There is one guy inactive who is holding up the start of a game.
A fact that needs to be brought up every time this issue is discussed: America and most Western countries already have laws banning certain forms of fake news. Ie, libel and slander. We already have legal systems that we trust and empower to determine whether specific allegations are "fake news", and to enforce punitive penalties against those spreading these fake news... in libel and slander cases.

What Singapore is doing isn't completely new - it is simply scaling out laws that already exist in most Western countries. I have yet to hear an explanation on why libel/slander laws are good, but generic "fake news" laws are bad
I think a better solution to a lot of problems would be to hand out licenses quickly and revoke them quickly. The value of posessing a license can often be questionable but the ability to stop rule breakers is incredibly useful.
Dot com and net will be operated by Verisign at least until 2024 so it's unlikely to happen.
Maybe they should scale your ratings based on your rating pattern. I don't know how to do it mathematically but there must be some way to normalize scores if you have enough data. Anybody knows how to do this?
