I'm aware of this effect and I never cared for horoscopes, Harry Potter houses and what not.

But INTP description is very specific.

> Chief among Logicians’ interests is exploring and building models for underlying principles and ideas, even going so far as to find these concepts, in their own way, beautiful – this makes them natural mathematicians, systems analysts, and career scientists, especially in more abstract fields such as physics.

Maybe 5% of population would identify with this?

> Logicians are known for their brilliant theories and unrelenting logic – in fact, they are considered the most logically precise of all the personality types. They love patterns, and spotting discrepancies between statements could almost be described as a hobby, making it a bad idea to lie to a Logician.

Maybe 20% of population would identify with this?

That is one sad thread. Very embarrassing for Google that they don't seem able to respond and to resolve such issues.
Great points. Another thing to keep in mind is that traffic encrypted using 1024 bit RSA keys, which the vast majority of SSL sites use, is no longer considered secure enough to withstand brute force decryption. In fact, the NIST has recommended that all sites upgrade to 2048 bit private keys by Jan. 1, 2011. They wouldn't make this recommendation unless people with GPGPU could crack it.

I've always been surprised some inspired performance artist hasn't done this to the live sound feed at a big music festival like Bonnaroo or Coachella yet. Audio runs from the stage/band to a sound guy in the middle of the field who controls the mix then from there it goes back across the field to the PA system mounted on stage. The audio cables are literally just big snakes that run right through the crowd where anyone could access them. Highjack a post mixer cable and bob's your uncle.

The only hitch would be that afaik at festivals the pa arrays are passive so you'd need to steal power too so you can power an amplifier and send a powered signal, but if you managed that it'd be even worse than the tv broadcast intrusion because there's no easy way to shut it off, the sound guy has no control because you're after him in the signal chain and nobody onstage is set up to handle something like that. It's not like beyonce is gonna climb the scaffolding and start unplugging speakers when the crab rave starts playing inexplicably.
Even people with aphantasia see as a result of a combination of bottom-up and top-down processing.

Also note that aphantasia is not a condition which is confirmed to even exist.
When the English first began settling in New England in the 1600s, they were astonished that the local Indian men and boys wore only a loincloth during most of the year, even in snowy weather, adding leggings and a small shawl on the shoulders only in the coldest weeks of the New England winter.

I would love to learn more about this adaptation, which has been witnessed in multiple ethnic groups by so many witnesses that, even allowing for tall tails from exotic lands, still is apparently a real phenomenon (or multiple phenomena).

I wonder, for example, whether it makes a difference how old you are when you begin your "training". I wonder how much nature (genetic adaptation), if any, is required vs. nurture (exposure).
I agree, with one caveat:

I've read in the past that being cold from swimming tends to make your body think that you are in need of calories.

So casual swimmers will eat their workout at the vending machine, the one conveniently placed near the pool exit.

There's a difference between personal property and private property. It isn't violence to use a building that nobody else is using, and it is violence to force people to pay for that use - otoh, it is violence to use the home someone else is living in, take the food they eat, etc.

The equivocation of personal and private property only serves to legitimise a system of rentseekers and landlords.

I have a similar experience with quarter-tone music. I used to experiment with it a little bit and created a short theme[0] for one of my characters that utilized multiple quartertones, as opposed to just semitones that are used in usual Western music.

I remember that it sounded alien and way off when I created it and shortly afterwards. Now, it sounds... ordinary. I got used to it and found enjoyment in how it sounds.

Sure I am not saying crafting queries explicitly and preventing sql injection etc in code is elegant but it can be done and you can write super thin abstractions over the boring bits and still maintain a ton of power over your queries and know exactly what is going on without having to add another dependency.

The one huge win for ORMs in my mind is the standing up of and the iteration of schemas, defining a schema and then summoning a database in alembic vernacular is really neat whereas one would have to manually manage a set of init scripts and migrations oneself.

In the end there's no really clean way to do DB maintenance and work it's just work and has to be done, imo.

That's unnecessarily harsh.

But I do agree that editing serves a purpose. There is a reason that good writers' essays, such as PG's, for example, are so durable through time: they have been finely honed, eliminating wasted words and poor analogies, to communicate an idea so purely that it captures the mind.

Sebastian's writing isn't poor. It's just not finished. There's a gem of an idea there, but it's still covered in the dirt and grime of poor syntax and wordiness. And like a diamond that goes unnoticed because it hasn't been polished, it will quickly be forgotten, under the massive heaps of poor syntax and crude wordiness that society, and the Internet in particular, generates every day.

He could find his ideas traveling farther if he polished his diamonds.

Should a _____ have phone service?

Here in Canada, telecommunications is a regulated industry and payment processing is an unregulated industry. That makes all the difference. In Canadian terms, you are asking whether payment processing should become a regulated industry with formal rules about who providers must serve and under what circumstances they can decline to provide service.

As a footnote, we Canadians have laws about the particular example you gave that don't translate well in the USA.
That's one hell of a linkbait headline that the Ottowa Citizen came up with. A more accurate description of the article's thesis would be "freedom of religion can be derived from other rights which are explicitly recognized, like freedom of speech and association, and does not need to be explicitly protected as long as those other rights are genuinely protected." Put like that, it sounds a lot less controversial.
Design is a strong advantage, but not sustainable one. Unless the design requires hard-to-replicate data or algorithms, design alone isn't a sustainable competitive advantage.

The other day, I discovered a Firefox nightly using a gig and a half of memory after some light browsing; after some investigation it turned out that had a few hundred meg allocated immediately after startup (having loaded only about:mozilla) and it allocated a few hundred more when I opened and immediately closed the bookmarks and history menus.

Turns out, in Safe Mode it was perfectly well behaved, and after hitting the 'reset all preferences to defaults' button, Firefox not only takes less memory, but is snappier too.
Hello HN folks! This is Stefan from Mobile Jazz http://mobilejazz.com/.

We've been developing Bugfender and using it as an internal tool for quite some time now and decided to promote it to an actual product.

This is our first beta release of Bugfender, which is now also open to the public. You can find out more on our product page (link above) or by reading this blog post: http://bugfender.com/blog/this-is-bugfender-were-live/

------------------

Current status:

------------------

* iOS SDK available and fully working.

* Android and JS SDK in development.

* The web admin is still basic, but working well.

* We've a free account for 3 months during the beta (extendable for another 3 months)

-------------------------------------

We'd appreciate feedback about:

-------------------------------------

* The product itself. Is it useful to you?

* The product website. Is it easy to understand?

* The pricing page. Does it make sense? What would you price differently.

* The FAQ page. Is it clear enough? What leaves doubt? What would you add?

* Future: what are the features you'd like to have at most?

* Competition: what similar products are you using at the moment? What do you like about them? What do you not like about them?

* An obviously any other kind of feedback is more than welcome as well :-)

Myself and my co-founders will stick around here for a while and are happy to answer any questions you might have.
> Either you are important enough to the person that needs to switch apps, or switching the app is so low cost that the person that needs to switch doesn't care. Unfortunately, the switching costs is usually too high for most people's tastes.

Or a mixture. In the case of eg. Matrix or IRC, the cost can be tapping a link and typing a couple things into the browser. That’s probably not low enough for most people to do for everyone they’re in any group chat with, but I think it’s reasonable to do for a family member (my immediate and extended family were willing to do that with Jitsi Meet for me), and most people have a few family members, including enough techy people to make a difference and plant seeds for some change.
The idea of buying art that would seem to have not been created with specific intent or meaning but instead was created with randomness or through imitation or some set of rules may seem kind of strange, because a lot of what art is about is the meaning behind the piece, whether the meaning the artist meant to impart or the meaning the observer finds in the piece.

But with any current "AI" or procedurally generated thing, rather than thinking of the "AI" as the artist, the artist is the one who created the rule set, the algorithm, the bounds of the creation, the way the "AI" determines what to make. So we can think of the meaning or decisions of the artist in this case not as ideas or meaning or decisions of the AI generating these pieces but rather the ideas or meaning or reasons for the creator or implementer of these algorithms to shape this "AI" the way they did.

Still perhaps not to the taste of everyone, or even most, but in a world where tools and mediums continue to evolve towards complexity and being more hands-off, the artistic choices change but until we have hard AI or AI with consciousness, there will still be a hand that ultimately set the thing in motion even if one more step removed.

That being said, in this case the artist who created the rules for creation here may be a good artist in one's taste or a bad artist in one's taste, and all of the above is not to defend or criticize this particular website or body of work, but to simply help anyone else feeling a bit annoyed by this work or the price on it to take a step back and consider that the idea of art made by an "AI" can still be meaningful or of interest, when viewed through the lens of the human behind the machine and what may have inspired or influenced them.

Open source doesn't necessarily mean open development. Companies like Apple embrace the former without the latter. It is perfectly valid to share your source code openly but not allow outsiders to do development. On a lesser scale, SQLite is another example of open source without allowing open development. You can't really contribute code to SQLite even if you wanted to. Do you think SQLite is not a thing? Heck, even RMS used to be super protective of Emacs.
It means that they don't want tracking to stop. And you should _definitely_ trust them as well as all their partners.

It's one of those things that are nice at first, but everyone uses "personal emails" as part of some kind of funnel, and so it gets binned fast.
I remember Stig Hackvan; I met him a couple of times and I think he might even have visited my house once.

I read an obituary for him when he died, but I haven't been able to find it -- first I thought it was here on HN, but it doesn't show up when searching. Maybe it was on a Linux user group mailing list?
You need to make decisions in a high-uncertainty environment. If you care about your work... it's much more stressful to have actual decision power than to have none and just vent with your colleagues about how bad the top-level decisions are.
non paywall please.
In that example the Pixel has a 6x longer exposure. While Pixels can currently get better night photos currently, it's simply because the software lets them take minutes-long exposures instead of seconds-long. From a hardware point of view I don't think there's an advantage.
Thanks for the recommendation. Queuing up this book.
At that point if you have a single authoritative site, you can just use postgres to store the who-owns-what and skip the added complexity and risk of a blockchain.
What's next, the janitor was responsible for the companies poor quarterly results?
Correct. Burners are a stopgap from a lower tier threat at best.

Which can still have a lot of value, I suppose.
> Each subsequent block in the chain gets larger, increasing the cost of the necessary resources to sustain the cryptocurrency.

That's not correct.

The effort put into any block, past and future, is (long-term adjusted) directly connected to the payout, since the effort is algorithmically self-adjusting. It follows, that the effort put into any current block is worth ~$300k, and therefore worth ~$300k of electricity.

If bitcoin is ever going to be valued less again, the necessary resources to sustain bitcoin will shrink accordingly.

Additionally, they automatically shrink, by design, in ~2024, ~2028 and ~2032.
It's the wrong question; it's incompetent to even use passwords. SAML all the things, and protect your IdP with yubikeys.
To a 50-60 year old person with 10-30 years to live? I doubt global warming will have a major impact on their life. The cost of what is needed to change anything WILL be visible on their very next paycheck.

Now compare this with voter turnout by age bracket, and the current path of the world is pretty easy to see as people looking out for their own best interest, which is rational and what we are hardwired to do.
On Android if you use Work Profile your work contacts are in a separate partition and can only be accessed by approved company apps. This works really well for gdpr compliance with dual-use (company & mobile) devices.
I've heard a lot of complaints that Paypal staunchly sides with the customer over retailers. I think it's just that sometimes scammers beat the system, and Paypal is occasionally wrong in either directions.
I certainly hope that 2G doesn't get phased out for a long time. It is a cheap network that is perfect for IoT devices.
Would'nt NSA attempts at cracking encryption systems basically be free audits on those encryption systems. (providing the public some how figures out how it was broken.)
"they just use news to fill in the otherwise blank areas between ads"

That is pretty much literally true. When I worked on a student newspaper, it was pretty common for the advertising manager to rush in to the editorial offices and say things like "I've just sold another full-page ad, so we're going to be printing extra pages - do you have any copy to fill them?"
Yes, you need root.
The "habitable zone" isn't so well defined, though. Europa's believed to have an ocean of liquid water and heat from tidal forces. Mars may well have liquid water at times, and who knows what we'd find miles down underground - we've found all sorts of extremophile life in mines we never expected to.
For me it is more difficult how to stay motivated in your 8-5 work when you are building an awesome side project.
The project is really impressive, you have some truly beautiful examples in the gallery. I see what you mean that user content creation doesn't seem easily accessible enough to hit Minecraft's level of self-marketing. But there is tremendous potential I think once you reach a more fleshed-out demo. Hope to see that soon.
That was actually my first thought when I read the headline. Might I cynically hazard a guess that most buyers won't read it?
Heh, I guess what "you're likely thinking of" depends on your frame. I haven't thought of that xauth in years ... never occurred to me that someone might decide all of a sudden to start bashing it today.
thanks for the explanations
tl;dr

Chomsky and his sycophants often write excessively long treatises that attempt to tie everything together into one giant conspiracy.

While it is true that we are all connected, most of those connections are uninteresting, unintentional and unworthy of any news coverage whatsoever.
A non-trivial amount of cases is when you buy a software package that only supports Oracle - that was pretty much the only reason why we didn't have a campaign to eradicate Oracle DB in my first job - the most critical money-making system was dependant on it.
For asset ownership, where ownership involves massive down payments, this seems like a backwards approach. Where are all these first time buyers going to get their down payment? Put yourself in the shoes of somebody who is not already wealthy enough to own a home and see that continual rise in property value, amplified by the 5x leverage of a loan. It's impossible. Taxing landlords may mean for fewer landlords buying, but unless all those young people can somehow buy, it does nothing to solve the problem.

> YIMBYs' squawking

The huge advantage of the "squawking" which you are unfairly biased against is that it eliminates the profits that these speculators are depending upon.

The rise in prices is 100% dependent on a shortage of housing. If there wasn't a shortage, the market would correct. It may take a year or two of surplus housing to flush out those who are holding on for higher prices and teach them the new reality that they can't depend upon massive unearned gains every year, but it is the only way.

The other advantage of building surplus housing is that it gives people what they want. It stops the hoarding of a few wealthy people and opens up a desirable place to more people. This is nearly as big a benefit as lower prices.

Band aids on far downstream symptoms are not going to solve anything. And people are far too happy to only look at the symptoms rather than the underlying cause.
How who Apple react if some company copied, then implemented their iOS API on their mobile device, so they could run Apples hundreds of thousands apps?
> I could make any adjustment I want to posted GL transactions using SQL and knowledge of the chart of accounts and subledgers. No one would know unless it is a transaction picked for audit. This is true at least for Oracle ERP - there is no database row-level security for posted GL transactions.

I'm no expert, but I don't think typical auditors are there to find things like that.
I probably won't be getting any of the electric vehicles out there because they're all a privacy nightmare.
No, it is rather a defense of skepticism rather than of specific opinions. It does not say that both of them are the same.

>RMS deserves all the rejection he is getting for this sentiment alone

How so? He posts his raw thoughts in his blog. Surely we would not want to discourage skepticism and rationalism just because these thoughts are not currently common.

Please remember: the paradox of tolerance concerns these who withdraw from public dialog and instead take actions against these with different opinions and characteristics instead of engage them in a debate.

As for the other charges, they are similarly dubious at best.
I dispute this every time it happens, because it counts against your rider score and can stop you from getting rides in the future, or doom you to being matched with low-ranked drivers.
I think one thing you missed is that when he gets paid (he makes a sale) then everyone gets paid. I don't think it's wrong to expect to get paid from your business. If you can't pay yourself from your business, then what's the point of putting your time into it? Maybe that's just a difference in perspective between the coders and the business guy? ;)
You mentioned you were looking for people to work with around uni?

I imagine your uni exams are drawing to a close soon; if you're up for a drink in the sydney area, let me know. My contact inforamtion is in my profile.
Nobody has suggested it yet, so for context I'd suggest reading The (Mis)Behaviour of Markets, by Mandelbrot. It's not about trading algorithms per se, but it does put the maths behind a lot of them into perspective. It'll also tell you why certain strategies (like selling cheap options) are much, much more dangerous than others.
This is awesome. It's one of those pet peeves of mine that some SSL-enabled sites don't ever default to the secure version (and sometimes you don't know one exists).

I've actually been using Privoxy (http://www.privoxy.org/) to do the same (among other things, like ad blocking).
