I specifically said celebrating those things; Brianna Wu's dog died of natural causes. It's immensely hard to tie the events to specific people, and by design GamerGate is too slippery to pin an individual's membership or non-membership. But there is undoubtedly involvement by people who solicit an association with the GamerGate movement.

If your anonymous imageboard thread gets regularly co-opted by trolls, maybe they're the real movement and you're the outsider.

The existence of KiA doesn't prove that GG isn't being censored. It's containment, you can't talk about GG in any normal subreddit like /r/games or /r/gaming.

That and KiA was recently threatened a ban from the admins for their boycott campaigns against companies. Admins have said that you cannot link to a public representative of a company as it would constitute doxing.
Imagine a car mechanic remotely helping you to do what's needed to be done. This use case is showcased in one of the videos and it is probably not as complicated as building an AI engine to help a user repair his car.

This thing is really crazy!!
Normally I wouldn't be this pedantic, but in a discussion about currency, it's worthwhile specifying whether you mean American dollars, $some_other_country's dollars, or the Platonic form of dollars.
Optimistic thinking. Chances are it has many PDF and PowerPoint files scattered on it. And probably a shared user account where the files fill up a Windows desktop.
This was a mind blowing example of math and art from last year - perhaps the live coding of the method was even more impressive than the outcome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8--5LwHRhjk

No, I've been through 3 iPhones now and they all did it.
> Also, please don't judge me, I just have a morbid curiosity to see what these people are talking about and how they think.

To be afraid of being "judged" for your relatively tame and objective comments speaks volumes about the state of our increasingly polarized culture.
I tend to agree with those communities, as former demoscene member, Windows and macOS users. :)

Doing stuff out of love doesn't mean we have to offer it as free beer. UK RetroGaming magazine has plenty of new interesting games being sold for 8 and 16 bit platforms, where the authors even repurpose old cartridges, or go through the effort to produce tapes just like back in the day.

In the 80's all computers were expensive, I find it interesting that you mention Amigas only being available to wealthy families, given that in Portugal getting an Amiga 500 was definitely cheaper than most PCs.

Anyone capable of buying a computer would do so via credit anyway.

Even on MS-DOS/Windows, people are used to pay, only the UNIX communities tend to feel entitled to get stuff for free.
As I type this, all the other replies have been Poe's Law'd by this comment. Well done.
A smart Republican would nave realised that big internet companies are against him, and would have made plans accordingly.

If Trump had been competent, he wouldn't have attacked net neutrality, he would have said net neutrality is a wonderful idea, and extended it to other layers of the protocol stack.

He would also have got on board when people like Elizabeth Warren talked about breaking up Facebook and Amazon.
If you are average at your job and everyone knows it, then sure you could have trouble due to this even if not mandatory. If you are an A player, may be not. Your salary increment should not only be tied to that one thing BUT if you are worried about it, most likely it is a factor.
I'm less concerned about the kit that was removed from the Capitol and very much more concerned about all the kit that wasn't.

There is no laptop, no camera, no wall socket, no light switch even, that should not now be destroyed
You seem to be assuming that firearm related suicides are not carried out using their own guns.

How does a legally owned RFID activated gun prevent someone from killing themselves with it?
I don't know why this article is on the front page. There is nothing interesting or informative about it. It's just a smear campaign against a couple no-accounts.

The author is not even in communication with this kid any more, yet he feels the need to go publicize his version of a sour business deal with an unscrupulous cybersquatter. This article is petty and vengeful in a way that is IMHO every bit as shameful as the scumbaggery the Turkette kid engaged in.
Doesn't Salesforce have a rather more limited target market than etacts? I've never used either product but I get the impression that Salesforce is targeted to salesmen and etacts is targeted to the general population.
Hmm. That's interesting. I can think of many products that failed essentially because no one heard of them and not because they were too expensive. I guess I didn't think too much before applying this analogy to startups.

Could you cite some interesting examples of startup failures worth reading about?
I'm fairly sure they pay more than they receive in this particular case.
Do they store the full breach there, or is the PII put through a one-way hash and that used for matching?
It's similar to the "miracle" of Soviet industrialization. The USSR hired scads of advisors from Western companies to direct their efforts, then chest-thumped about socialism.

Or, for that matter, the Nazi economic "miracle". In their case, they started from the wreckage of WW1 and the Weimar Republic, but they used knowledge and corporate organization that predated both to rebuild, while letting their ideology and leadership take credit.
They won't be able to supply any examples beyond the opinion pieces, which are like most opinion pieces in all publications: click bait OPINIONS. The Economist does a decent job of reporting when reporting.
Substantiality was only one factor in the decision. There were lots of others, such as raison d'être of copyright, "promoting the progress of science and art". Because allowing copying of APIs is more important to the "progress of science and art" than the economic impact on the creator of the API, APIs are thusly not copyrightable.
I think this part here is important regarding your interpretation — it‘s not just about loc

Could you explain your line of thinking here a bit more?
You asked me where Marxism denies spirituality and I quoted sources verbatim. There’s not much more I can do for you.

What's the proposed mechanism here? How do you believe Apple is using "identified user behavior data" to grow services revenue? Since, unlike their major competitors, they don't actually do targeted advertising.
Is Google departing from just throwing white papers over the wall and let community figure out the implementation details? blaze white paper was dropped a while ago and there are already two clones in Pants and Buck at Twitter and FB. It would be interesting to see how far off clones are from original implementation.
This point seems relevant:

"Bridges to Web 2.0 technologies with JSON filtering and validation, support for REST verbs, and converting/bridging of REST and Web services."

http://www-01.ibm.com/software/integration/datapower/xs40/
Not sure what all the fuss is about. It's actually neat to have a common way of changing JSON to XML, think of a web service that offers an API using our beloved JSON. But wait, we also want to provide an XML API! Let's design our own, ad-hoc, crappy mapping or... use that thing that everyone else is using.

XML is out there, has lots of tools and libraries and is actually useful for some things. Not to mention the array of technologies around it, like XPath, XQuery etc, that JSON is lacking (probably because it doesn't need it, because these formats do address slightly different requirements. Gasp!).
I wonder if I'm grandfathered in to 50? I signed up for one domain right after the service came out.
Converting programming languages really doesn't serve any purpose whatsoever - this can't be used as a learning tool (a rubyist wanting to learn php) nor should this output ever be trusted in a production environment as you are going to count on the converted code being as efficient as your original code.

I'm guessing you don't use a lot of programs written in C?
It's funny, particularly when you break it down by region.

Tompkins County, where I live and work, has a 5.9% unemployment rate (one of the lowest in the U.S.) but I haven't worked for a company that's actually based in Tompkins for years. We hear a lot of talk about a "new tech bubble" in Silicon Valley but San Jose has an unemployment rate of 10.6% which is worse than the national average. If you're one of those workers that Google and Facebook are fighting over, however, it probably seems pretty good to you.

Las Vegas still seems to be one of the worst affected places, and I think it's the very success of the gambling industry that's killing Vegas. It seems that in most parts of the country there is a halfway decent casino within a few hour's drive... Why would anybody want to pay $300+ for an airline ticket and to get groped by the T.S.A.?
No doubt. They need some $$ for support!
And thus the insanely smooth user experience on iOS. As an Android developer, this is _the one thing_ I feel makes it difficult to have a polished user experience on Android compared to iOS.

If you think long and hard about each place you call 'new' in java Android apps, it is possible to get a smooth interface. However, the language doesn't encourage it by default like on iOS and you have to put time into it you usually don't have.

For users, milliseconds of jitters and blockiness everywhere is a huge turn off. It feels like the device is struggling to handle simple tasks and it destroys the belief in the UI metaphor of physical objects that have inertia and flow, stretch and bounce when you touch and flick them.

IMO, because it makes such a huge difference to users, UI programming should always happen in a high performance language and environment. One way to attain this performance is to eschew garbage collection. This is also a problem in web browsers where the UI is often written in javascript.

At the very least those who make programing environments, languages or GCs used for building user interfaces should optimize how their environments promote good use of local hardware cache and acceleration. There is a reason why UI rendering often relies on video hardware that is not totally unlike a desktop high performance computer.

Also, I am available to take on paid work. Mention HN for a discount.
Further, it's unhealthy how the news reports the days stock movement like it's almost the daily health of the ecomomy. It feels like it creates this incredibly short term thinking over a fairly a arbitary number.
IE7 and IE8 can display 32bit (24bit for RGB + 8bit for alpha channel) PNGs fine by the way. IE6, of course, only supports alpha transparency on 8bit PNGs.
I hope I am understanding properly, please let me know otherwise.

Off the top of my head, one option would be to embed the domain name into the hash so that you can validate it is from the domain that is authorized to use the token. If it comes from any others send back an error. You might have to provide a mechanism for people to test on localhost or on development/staging domains but that seems minor overall.
If it displeases the tech giants that's automatically a good thing for everyone. The question is, what's the downside?
> I am an efficiency maniac with an excellent eye for simple and readable code

That puts you well above the crowd.
According to the Apple documentation, if the user is in China this check "may" be done via Tencent.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210675

>For users with China mainland set as their region in Settings > General > Language and Region, Safari may also use Tencent Safe Browsing to do this check.

Are these checks proxified as well?

Lower energy prices and lower meat prices seem like they would reduce inequality, not increase it. A few more of the things seem "inequality neutral" to me (vaccines, electric vehicles). That's about half the list (and IMHO, the half that will have a bigger impact on the world than the other half).
Who knows, maybe Murdoch realized he has a shit legacy, hence is trying to save Austria from his own creations by handicapping them. /s

Or on a more serious note, he just likes power, regardless of how much his businesses would lose.
Who ever suggested that they acted improperly?

After years they have decided to very zealously apply the rules and I'm sure that this has nothing to do with the current political climate between the UK and China since Ofcom is independent... There.

Too bad that no discussion is apparently possible on these issues and the reality of politics.
Totally agree. We need to find non-violent solutions to problems. Most importantly, though, we need to show what living peacefully looks like. People like the tangible. We can argue in the abstract all day long, but people are easily turned off by that and cling to ideology and propaganda. Show, don't tell.
Why are you multiplying it by the days in a year? Are you seriously saying that every single user will waste 72 seconds every single day when they use LibreOffice?

1. Regarding productivity tools, people tend to do roughly the same thing at work each day. What they type in might be different, but what they want the software to do doesn't differ that much.

2. People tend to be able to remember things from one day to the next. If I start using a new IDE, I don't have to spend an extra minute every single day for a year looking for the "build" button or shortcut. A user who works out how to format a line as a heading in LibreOffice won't sit around the next day, confused about how to format a line as a heading.

3. Regarding most commonly used functionality, the UI of LibreOffice is pretty intuitive for someone who has used any kind of office productivity software.

4. Regarding rarer functionality (e.g. Pivot tables) I would be surprised if anywhere near 100000 of those 120000 users ever use them. Most people just use a spreadsheet as a place to put tabular data, many don't even do simple calculations like summing with it. Most people just type big globs of text into word processors and do some simple formatting. Those who do use less common functionality tend to have the ability to work it out pretty quickly and either remember it or write it down.

As many have already said. The unfamiliarity problem you describe is the same with a new version of MS Office. When I got a new version of MS Office, I spent some time trying to find features that I used a lot before, but once I found them, I was back up to speed. If the timing of the change corresponds to the need to upgrade MS Office (e.g. existing version going out of support), then the disruption would be pretty much the same.
In the US that would be illegal, and get you in serious trouble with the FCC.

What is possible, however, is for the prison to run its own cell tower with whitelisted IMEIs - i.e. only the guards' phones.
Only unhappy men volunteer for war.
Well, the thing about anxiety is that it's very irrational. Unless you've suffered from it or, like me, are very close to someone who does, it's very hard to understand. (I still have only a surface level understanding after a 10 year relationship with a sufferer.)

It's easy to look at all of the things taking a test and fixing code in an emergency have in common and make the rational assumption that someone who is bad in one situation would be bad in the other.
Why does it need to be a false dichotomy/comparison between Android and Apple?

The Apple phone I had became nigh unusable with a forced update. It's not contextual frame of reference - it just didn't work.

It’s strange for me why anybody would reimplement a Rust compiler in C++ instead of Rust, but people are free to do what they want :)
If you have evidence that exposing everyone to criminals reduces crime, I'd love to see it.

Not knowing one can leave can be handled with direct communication. For example, billboards: "get a job and you can leave this place. Any adult is here by choice."
I read mostly on French ecoblogs, but in English:

- http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2008/09/a-very-large-in.html
- http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/12/business/12nocera.html?_r=1&hp

You can find much more if you look a bit. I think outside the libertarian on the fringe, most people agreed the decision was certainly not obvious to make at that time. I am sure it will take time before academics agree (if ever:) )on whether this was a mistake or not.
Only because the mass to energy conversion is 100%. But, if you factored in the size of whatever object you use to contain the antimatter, then your mass to energy conversion is probably comparable to a hydrogen bomb. Further, factor in the the energy required to contain the antimatter and it seems like it's losing proposition, probably until you start to approach the size of a small house or larger.

So then the argument turns into critical mass vs. critical structure mass.

Anyways, the technique they used is much more interesting than the fact that it's antimatter. Of course, CERN still has to play the PR game too just like anybody else, and I don't fault them for that.
Agreed. It's great to know that there's some formal usability testing going on (and very interesting to see the results), but without comparing the usability of the existing desktop it's hard to know if we're going forwards or backwards.
Cyberduck allows to you bulk download them as well at once.
You know what is sad? I've read them all before I knew there were other programming languages! I say it's sad because the time spent reading that - thinking that would make me a better programmer - was wasted as I could have learned higher level languages. Still, from time to time in my life, when I need to get a C+ job done, it helps to be able to understand it. Also, it helps in interview questions where they seem to pick question from effective or exceptional ;)
I have had this conversation twice a year for the past ten to fifteen years. Something needs to have changed, because the conversation has changed in the way I cited. The vast bulk of those don't even address whether it's "instantaneous" in violation of lightspeed because they just ignore lightspeed entirely. You in fact seem to be reinforcing my point by the casual assumption that teleportation must be instantaneous-as-FTL by the very definition of the word, and thus the mere fact that the word is used proves your point (circularly, I might add), so let me ask you: Where did you get that idea? It's not the way the word has been defined for the past 50 years, it's a new mutation. Why do you think that? (And why would English have such a rigid, useless definition for a word like that?)
"There’s a really cool word for this phenomenon - when you only become fully aware of something when it fails - but I can’t recall it right now."

The better a design, the less you notice it.

At least, that's what sprung to mind for me.
Not just that, but he didn't appear to switch DEBUG off:

It's interesting that you mention multiple monitors. Despite all cases made for programmer productivity and screen real-estate, I find that having a browser window up, starting at me in my second monitor while I try to code on my main screen is incredibly distracting. I've yet to figure out how to use the browser purely for work related stuff without hopping on YC / Reddit to see what's happening, so I'm just going with single monitor for now.
Because of feeling?

Our subconscious mind recognizes something and predicts a bad outcome, which gives us a feeling of something being wrong.

That's what expertise is essentially. Being able to offload things that took conscious effort before into the unconscious. So a bad feeling from an expert (subordinates are experts as well) should be voiced, and investigated.
When it comes to communication channels, you choose how you get your information. Each person, individually, makes that choice. If you think that big tech is problematic for getting your information, it's not because they are making it more difficult to consume and participate on Parler. It's because it gives them too much control over information. The choice then is to your information elsewhere. People sharing disinformation on social media has been a grave issue long before the event on January 6, 2021.

When it comes to that event, the real horror is not "single digit casualties" and that is a naive lens to use here. Disrupting a core institution of our representative democracy - certifying the election results for the President of the United States - in an attempt to overthrow the votes and will of the citizens is horrific and chilling.
Your concern about China is Taiwan’s leverage with TSMC to remain independent and pro Western.
yes. I'm generally a moderate - not a huge fan of Trump, but the multiple blocking actions today by twitter, Google, Facebook are very concerning
