Profounders's blithe disregard for American securities laws is very amusing. Probably will not be so amusing for those involved...

Securities offerings have to be registered. There are exceptions, but one of the big requirements for taking advantange of most of these exceptions is that you not publicly solicit investors. And Profounder is all about publicly soliciting investors.
(Kickstarter avoids those problems because your kick does not buy you an ownership interest in the company/project.)
Without knowing more about what you're doing I'm hesitant to give advice.

However what I would say is if you think the work is something that can be applied more or less directly to real world problems, represents a significant improvement on the current state of the art and you have potential investors, well personally I wouldn't open source it.

If that's not the case open sourcing the implementation might make sense. One advantage to you is that it might help you get a good job, if that is your goal.
Ah, O.K. Mea culpa! :)
I know that KDE and Unity have adopted appindicators for system tray functionality: https://unity.ubuntu.com/projects/appindicators/

I'm not sure what you want in the way of unified startbutton API. Even within KDE itself it has Lancelot, Kickoff, and Homerun, all providing a sliding scale of classical start menu to Unity / Gnome / Windows 8 style dash. That is one domain that has demonstrably not one ultimate answer, and I'm a big fan of the KDE attitude of making multiple choices available with the default being moderate (search by default, tabs for programs / recents / power / etc).
A book he could never publish. Unless he got caught.
Like most questions on ask HN the answer is: it depends.

Mostly it depends on a) what level of quality you need, b) what are you currently doing for quality control, and c) what other alternatives do you have?

On a): What is your customers bug tolerance rate? What part of the codebase is this? Most people will be ok with a few application crashes or a feature not working in some edge cases but be irate if you corrupt their data. Are you just trying to MVP or prove an idea? Is the app going to be around in 10 years etc? Are you building a framework or api that is going to be a building block or a user facing app? Huge difference.

On b): If you are already unit testing then that's 30-40% of dev time. Add another 10% for integration testing and you are already at basically half the effort being quality control. Add another 25% of total time on top and suddenly you are looking at spending 60%+ of the dev effort on quality control. Is that a good use of time? Depends on a) and c) :).

On c): For example perhaps you would be better off getting rid of code review entirely and using the savings to hire dedicated QA people. Or perhaps formal reviews would work better. Or maybe more time on design or talking to your customers. I'd personally rate all three as more effective.
From later in the post: "The key is nobody has to cool these devices, so it’s almost like free computing at the endpoint."

Also, you don't have to buy it! (the user bought their phone/computer and pays for the power)

I agree its a bit handwavy. I suppose the remaining cost is the cost of transmitting more data?

But regardless, it is a good point - we are absolutely crazy to not be taking advantage of all the free computing and power that our users have purchased for us to use (and are paying the costs up upgrades and maintenance). I've felt this way for a while (especially when OnLive came out), but it seems that servers have so far been cheap enough that its been cheaper to buy more servers than spend valuable engineering time making your app distributed.
Keeping a dog or coming in contact of a Dog is a taboo in Islam. So, the passengers were possibly using that as a trick to keep Muslim cab drivers disinterested in selling them a ride. It may not be illegal if the cab drivers had stated beforehand about their preference of not serving customers with dogs.

If Bitcoin would ever threaten the Dollar, rest assured that it will be declared illegal.
Saramago was also an awesome blogger. Well, technically not a blogger per se -- His wife would post his writings for him. But his entries are fascinating and thought-provoking:

So, 1024 bit key should be ok.
That pissed me off so many times that once the mods actucally got into an argument over whether my question should be allowed, that was the last time i ever posted or answered a question on SE. That being said that site is super helpful, i just wish they could make the moderators more tolerable. You would be surprised how many times a question is closed yet will have so many upvotes and answers.

Interestingly i have noticed that Quora has some nice thoughtful answers to tech questions, especially questions that have no shot in hell of being answered on SE.
I agree with the ridiculous names, especially if they fit will.

I managed to name a 'reminder system' the 'CRS'. Supposedly that stands for 'company reminder system', but we all know what it really means. ;) (Wow, a Google search doesn't turn that up as an acronym... It starts with 'Can't remember', for those that don't know. ;) )
^^ What he said. I did this, and it exported my 800+ contacts in less than a minute. Then I imported them to Address Book for Mac and used AddressBookSync (http://danauclair.com/addressbooksync/) to grab the facebook profile pictures and add them to each contact.
I don't like any of the traditional investment options right now. Bond interest rates are too low. Stocks are overvalued. I'd probably put it into an investment I actually have control over: a new startup.
> Along the lines of turning Jupiter into a star or building a Dyson Sphere.

Neither of which is likely to be all that hard for a civilization a million years further in development than we are.
it is a great tld (I have one and a whole project that could be formed around it, just dont have the time to get it done. I need a Zed Shaw crash course on getting shit done).
Because node isn't a server either. It's a framework for handling requests.

Also django has all the batteries needed to run as a server and it's interesting to note how much performance is affected when there are too many batteries included.

Whilst I agree somewhat, that's a sufficiently abstract case to make that cognizablity is low.

Things that are tangible and can be seen or sensed or emoted directly have impact. Crowds, sounds, death, damage, violence, mayhem.
How much of the total network does that represent?
That...is a pretty revisionist take on the civil war. More popular is the opinion that the south wanted to perpetuate chattel slavery for economic gain, masquerading beneath ‘states rights’.

I mean, damn, there’s a reason Buchanan is said to have caused the war—and it’s not that he just happened to have been president before Lincoln.
> I don't understand why people keep arguing that the incitement thing is blurry.

What you are really saying is that you don't think it is blurry.

The reason people argue that it is blurry is because they want to advance the interests of that side. So they argue whatever they can, including the blur, which might give them a 50-50 chance of prevailing in amongst the confusion.

It's how people argue when they can't prevail in an argument based on principle, logic, or literality.
This sounds like an opportunity for a PhD dissertation.

It usually only takes one to change public perception. And DC was a sample of one. OTOH, BLM has media covering for them(1) to make the group look peaceful.

Are you serious? People are writing entire books called "In Defense of Looting" and they receive no criticism, just fawning articles in the media[1]. No publisher employees are threatening to walk out over it either.

And for the record I support this author's right to speak her mind as well. It's just obvious that some speech is more free than others.

CNN had reporters stand in front of burning buildings and tell us protests were "mostly peaceful".

I guess we could say Trump's administration had mostly no mobs of insurrectionists storming the Capitol.

"Parents in <X> are better parents than you" is a real crowd pleaser when it comes to a chance to explain why your <personal pet peeve about modern parenting> has just been Validated by Science.

Someone once said that there is no more a right way to 'parent' than there is a right way to 'spouse' or 'child'. Everyone is different, every relationship is different. When I give advice to new parents, I tell them exactly that. Their relationship with their kid is going to be specific to them and their kid, and don't feel pressured to do things the 'right' way by an external source.
> For me, Bitcoin has value because it can't be inflated

BTC will continue to be inflated for another 100 years. Inflation of BTC is currently higher than CPI in the US.
It's neat that you built what you needed in a few lines of code. I must say, I don't quite like the output of Graphtage, I like your's a little bit more, but without a context it's not easy to see how podIP is nested.

Usecases might be a little bit different, but please allow me to share my solution.

The problem with diffing JSON and yaml is, that these formats aren't line based and hashes don't need to be ordered. But there is gron to turn json into a greppable line-based format [1]. Then you can sort. The sorted output is possible to diff now and then you can color the diff output with delta or a similar tool [2].

diff -u <(kubectl get pod pod1 -o json | gron | sort) <(kubectl get pod pod2 -o json | gron | sort) | delta --light --word-diff-regex="\W+"

This output provides a lot of context for me to see and understand the differences.

Doesn’t this motivate people to not reduce total carbon use? It would lower the dividend unless the green energy is cheap enough to balance it out.

And if the green energy is that cheap (which actually it seems like it is) then we don’t need the dividend.

Btw, carbon emissions in the US at least typically aren’t done by “corporations” but rather poor land use decisions causing long commutes and things like that. Buying gas from a corporation may cause them to dig it out of the ground, but you’re the one who told them to do it.

The “climate change is caused by 100 corporations” thing is especially wrong since it comes from a misreading of a list of emitters that has things like Saudi Aramco and “the Chinese government” as corporations.
I would love this as well.

There is a lot of ready made tech for off grid living these days.

E.g. you can buy an island capable solar+storage system from many vendors, not just Tesla. You can buy very efficient and clean log-powered heating systems. "Stückholzheizung" in german.

All the components are commercial off the shelf. So you only would need a prefab house contractor to combine these offerings into a good package.

Add in starlink, and you can indeed be completely off the grid, even including WIFI.

The biggest obstacle for off-grid living is legal. E.g. in Germany you can not opt out of grid connection charges, even if you do not use the grid.
Humans are pattern recognizers... what did you expect?
Web forms work spectacularly well when you stick to, well, actual web HTML form elements.

The problem is frontend developers reinventing their own widgets and protocols because "moronic SPA reasons".
Yes, it’s not a contract with written signatures, but can be binding.

In my case it wasn’t oracles, but tying up real world assets to tokens. The company had to be obliged to fulfill what contract told it, and we managed to grt it working from a legal perspective.

There is a different sense of it, specific to PGE, but not anything like stochastic models. In PGE, the local search operators, those that expand equations (parse trees) by making small additions can get into situations where:

1. a pretty good equation has been found
2. small modifications don't have much of an impact, so it stays good

The solution I was thinking of is to do more bookkeeping and eliminate wasted work like this.

In a sense, you don't really get stuck in the same was as GP / Stochastic algos because of the memoization. You always have to be trying new solutions (parse trees)

Also wanted to explore DeepQ/RL for helping to guide the decisions of what to expand and where to expand it.
The problem with this action is it seems it would apply equally to pro-democratic demonstrations in China.

I am deeply uncomfortable with censoring things, and don't see any need for it on Facebook or twitter, because both literally have people you follow feed you the information.

Give users more choices on the content they want to see. That is the solution here. If my friend spouts hateful speech, I can mute them. If I want to have Facebook hide content on my behalf, no problem give users settings for that.

I don't see the benefit to social networks or the people on them to make these decisions unilaterally. Basically people seem to talk about this issue like there are two options: (1) moderation (2) no moderation. But the third is (3) more user controls.

I strongly dislike Trump but I do believe moderation is a form of speech, and should be done sparingly.
> They clearly said that there is some level of racism, not that it doesn't exist at all. Is it the greatest problem facing America? I'd argue its not even in the top 10.

We can have multiple problems, and we can address them in parallel. We don't have to pretend one problem doesn't exist simply because we run into another.
Yes, if you aren't dealing with CS fundamentals directly in your work, you aren't working on the kinds of challenging engineering problems we face on a day-to-day basis. For example, a coworker applied some arcane number theory to one of our hashing algorithms, saving the company millions and was just recently awarded a patent for it. You can find many other, more specific examples in our Engineering blog. We're a mature product operating at scale so small, but meaningful statistically-significant % metrics gains are actually quite large when it comes to real business impact, and so chasing these gains actually requires a serious academic toolbox.

Anecdotal evidence? Two thousand years later? "Consider the source!"
It really is about interviewing skills. I noticed a strong trend over time that the people I interviewed kept doing better. You need to engage with people without letting things get confrontational.

The best advice I can give is look at how entertainers
get random audience members to relax and engage in front of huge audiences. Many people lock up in such situations and can barely say their own name, yet with the right approach it’s a non issue.

Compare that to the rapid fire technical questions I have watched people get into and it’s obvious what’s going on. Someone fumbles something and then gets flustered and shuts down. But, pepper the exact same questions into a larger conversation, perhaps going so far as to occasionally complement them, and shockingly they do better on the exact same problems.
The problem is that network effects create monopolies. Social network effects create monopolies on free speech.

I'm not an American, and I still don't know if there was cheating or not, and actually I don't understand whether there is enough data on it to decide, though usually the bigger problem is when a president stays in the president seat forever.
I can confirm we came up with this optimization inside tcmalloc, and our compiler experts nacked it as unsafe, even only calling tightly controlled code. A pity, as it is really beautiful to see the improved clobbering (and even, in some cases, hacked calling conventions.)
That should be possible to perform automatically for simple libraries once bindgen is officially in the compiler (again, there are long-term plans for this sort of automatic binding step). But bindgen can't do everything: if you have C functions defined as macros (which so many C libs seems to do, extensively) then you're SOL and will end up needing to implement those functions manually anyway.
That is likely very illegal (read illegal and somebody cares) which could get you into that prison.
But if you look carefully, it's often a relatively small group of trolls burning down the entire section. Take Drudge-linked stories, for instance. There are about 6 super-trolls that aggressively post on every single linked story (the "Feds Made Sarah Palin" guy, the guy that talks like Zippy the Pinhead with all the CAPS).

The normal, level-headed people probably aren't posting at all, and they greatly outnumber the trolls who do.
Looks beautiful. But it does not tell me what it does.
I do worry about it. I probably wouldn't gamble $100,000,000 on any program, if I had that money to start with, because I could never be 100% confident in a system being bug-free. But I can minimize the surface area of C that I expose, and use better tools where possible (which is often). Given that I still do need to write programs (even C is more reliable than doing things by hand), what other option is there?
I think that particular example should be obvious to anyone whose C isn't "a little rusty".
I haven't experienced the RSI pains I used to get in my hands since switching back to a mechanical keyboard a few years ago... I use buckling spring model m style boards at home and work, and I like it a lot... some don't like the noise though.

That said, keyboard and monitor height properly adjusted probably help for many too... I don't bottom out with a mechanical keyboard.

They are advertrising use of Web technologies as something good, but it's the opposite. That Python web server will be a bottleneck because it's throughtput cannot even be compared to that of a hardware chip.

It doesn't make sense to rent a "cloud" FPGA because it is ineffective. You get a vendor-locked solution with poor performance written in slow Python and Javascript. The code is on Github which means it will be buggy and always in "under construction" state (try using desktop Linux to understand what it means). As the chip is in the cloud, cloud operator can see and steal your secrets. The latency to send data to the cloud is very high. You cannot debug the chip and cannot connect a logic analyzer to it. You cannot make a hardware product with "cloud" chip. You cannot connect sensors to it.

This is only usable as a toy to play with FPGA from browser. You cannot use it to control a CNC machine or video surveillance system, for example. You cannot make a guitar pedal (that someone have mentioned in comments below) with this.

What developers need is cheap powerful FPGAs that they can buy and connect directly into an USB port, not a toy in the cloud.
Would highly recommend pairing this with Slinky (React for Scala.js).

I would consider a rewrite, if anything else for security, has the existing code base been updated to run on PHP 7.3?

I would look at using the Laravel framework for the rewrite.

This would also offload maintaining the existing framework, templating and ORM. Plus you'll gain lots of features already in the Laravel framework that the legacy framework probably does not have.

Does the app have modules or components that you could start moving over to Laravel one by one?
Grim and disturbing for multiple reasons. It's deeply scary to me that the permafrost is melting like this and it also makes for uneasy reading to see that interesting archaeological finds are being sold off to make trinkets or simply left to deteriorate if they have no value. We're burning the world and then scrabbling around to sell the ashes.
What is often forgotten is the hyperdeflation of technology.

Is the SDLC that was taught in the universities really that important?

I've seen companies dying because there's lack of standard on how to developer software or using a typical university SDLC. How many product-based companies died because their technical debt interest is bigger than they can pay?

I've seen hot-shot smart-ass students who just don't like to test their own code. Let's face it, most universities tend to put testing as a footnote in CS studies.

I think this is also part of the problem. CS seems too "science-y". Honestly, CS students should go to pursue research-based work.
Your title is misleading. How is what they did "faking" a promo? That implies some sort of fraud. What evidence do you have that they attempted to intentionally misinform, or defraud, customers? Cuz I sure don't see it in your post.
