I hate that the articles justification was "shaving 24ms off stock and derivative orders" and love that HNs reaction is "how will this benefit local communities".

Really HFT is just a sign that most of the action in finance produces minimal net value - just changing hands. I am more and more beginning to see finance as kissing cousins to real estate - it should be wiped out by transparency and internet messaging.

Well so far it has only been 1 or 2 weeks, comparable to the annual X-mas break in duration. So I'm curious: are the effects really significantly different here so far?
The satellite would not be passing through the shot for the entire exposure.

If you had software to detect and delete frames with a satellite moving through them, how many frames from a multi-hour exposure would have to be deleted?

I assume it can even be done digitally in post-production, but even if you had to actually close the aperture ahead of the satellite crossing through your frame, we know exactly where the satellites are going to be so we could calculate when they would enter and exit the frame.
Powdered or canned milk should be fine.

Eggs are an issue.
Sorry im not native :( I tried my best
I'm confused. You start off implying that it would take a lot more severe shortages to change American habits and then later seem to say the current (coming?) changes in habits "will be a net positive". Are you anticipating more severe shortages?
I would focus on the actual words and actions of decision makers at the state and federal level. The communication and collaboration is happening, agreed it’s still reactive.

At this point the media is in an abusive relationship with their audience, sitting around all day trying to think how they can scare them, leading to deeply dishonest headlines like this

People should be following the instructions of the health authority in their area instead of blindly going to a testing location they see on this website.
I am not a bad person, just someone who this specific issue impacts personally. I don't get to wait for hypothetical situations to occur to make difficult decisions related to this issue, I actually have to make them. Perhaps think twice before offering to undermine the valid concerns these workers have.
Here in SF everything is still fully stocked in the morning on a weekend at least. Fresh veggies, fresh meats, cans of stuff. There’s even some rationed toilet paper on the shelfs.

But I only shop on Saturday mornings so maybe that’s why.
Your math is wrong--there are about 730 hours in a month so 99.9% update means it would need to be up 729.27 hours or no more than ~43 minutes of downtime. However the proportional refund here is so small to barely be noticeable. Pocket change.
Here are my own availability stats for Linode this year. We use Panopta to monitor each data center. All are within the SLA:

Dallas - 99.951%
Newark - 99.969%
London - 99.986%
Fremont - 99.989%
Atlanta - 99.995%
Ugh, I thought I had stripped the URL of all the UTM gook. Could a mod please update the link?
Why am I getting downvoted? Someone makes a claim without any support and gets upvoted, and I call him on it and get downvoted? Did reddit change its color to orange?
I used Windows (business), OS X (iOS dev), and Linux (backend dev) side-by-side -- sharing a mouse with Synergy -- for about a year.

As a regular user, I'd choose Windows, hands down. As a developer (or long-time Linux user, like you), I'd choose Linux. Ubuntu is the only OS I run now.

I recently installed Yosemite on my 2013 MBP, hoping it had fixed some of my complaints about previous versions. It was, instead, as massive regression. Many others have pointed out the same.

Stick with Linux. If you're productive and happy, why consider anything else?

The unfortunate thing is that non-Apple hardware is lacking in some ways, but you can shop around a bit and find something close.
You mistakenly assume I mean strictly from a moral perspective. Assume a cost:benefit analysis, where the factors are, depending on the person, some combination of morality, desire to not face consequences (legal system, job, family), and perceived risk:reward ratio.
The primary issue with this comparison is that Lebron James doesn't have to be the best player in basketball to command the highest salary. Court productivity is what the author is measuring, but the true measure is how much a player will effect a team's revenue.

Lebron James puts people in seats, and those people buy jerseys and beer. Even after his skills start to dwindle, he still may command a much higher salary than equally productive players due to his ability to draw crowds.

Another element lost in the analogy is how much someone like Lebron makes the others on his team more productive. Because of his presence, other players on his team (and on the floor with him) benefit from his abilities and their production is improved. He's some form of catalyst or multiplier.

Of course measuring individual productivity and any individual's impact on team productivity is much more difficult in a business setting where statistics are not easily measured and external forces can impact the team's behaviors.

A basketball court is a rather fixed and controlled environment - team size, rules, and even temperature are standard. A free throw line is always the same distance from the rim, and the rim is always the same height. Business and development environments have multiple factors that could make one person more or less productive than they would be at another shop.
Venture capital is the same thing. Most collectibles/startups are trash. But there's that 1 out of 1000 that outperforms everything else combined.
The motivations of the hit piece seem extremely petty to me - they wanted to do an article about how he was an early proponent of mask wearing which I guess everyone agrees now is a good thing (is it like being prematurely anti-fascist or something) and they wanted to use his real name and he didn't want that, instead of saying ok, they said we'll do it anyway, he made it difficult for them to do that, later he starts blogging again under his real name and they do a hit piece to get even?
Only if you make it and call it.

C has free, which deallocates a block of memory pointed to by a pointer. If it's a struct, the struct is deallocated. If the struct contains pointers, that memory is still there. If you've lose all the pointers to that chunk of memory, you now have a memory leak.

It is not uncommon to make your own allocators and deallocaters for complex structs.
My late father was early to the antique car hobby, he got started in the late forties when you didn't have to be wealthy to buy rare cars, provided you did most of the restoration work yourself.

Of all the cars he owned, the one he liked the most and kept the longest was a 1926 Wills Sainte Claire roadster. He sold that car so that he could send me and my sister to college. My earliest memories from around age 2 were watching my dad wrench on that car.

I borrowed it from the owner with the help of the president of the Wills Sainte Claire museum for my father's 100th birthday. Our entire family felt such a strong emotional attachment to that car, but none stronger than my Dad.

I feel that there will always be a place for the university - the original need, to connect students with teachers, is a powerful one. The question is in what form this need is met, and it will determine which universities live or die. We have proven that to some extent computing infrastructure is able to shoulder some of the heavy load of education and instruction. Therefore, I predict that in-person universities will become places of human connection and specific, personalized learning.

The basic building blocks, such as libraries and lecture halls, will be significantly transformed into collaborative, social, and study spaces better suited to the needs of connected students. In-university research might be supplanted with cross-university collaboration in shared labs and spaces, with traditional office needs largely being met by computers. The university probably isn't going away any time soon, but I feel like the relationships inside of it are going to be significantly rewired.
Once you have a Dev cert you can do what you like. You just can’t distribute it.
Make sure you are using solid wire cable with solid wire connectors, or stranded wire cable with stranded wire connectors. They are quite different.

I used to make a lot of Ethernet cables, but pretty much stopped when I went to Cat 6. Beyond that, you need to be careful to remain consistent 568B or 568A, etc., and it gets messy. Almost all 10GE I've ever used has been fiber, though.

Almost had a physical altercation with someone who wired a building straight through vs correctly. Amazingly you could still get a 10M link on longer runs, or a 100M link on patches.
If he wanted to be a career academic, he'd be in a PhD program and wouldn't have to pay... terminal Master's are expensive because they are "worth it."
What? $5000 a year is a straightforward, achievable contribution, especially with work-study jobs. When I was an undergrad at an ivy league school I made significantly more than that working at the dining hall during the year and the course review guide in the summer, and this was in the mid 90s.
Venture capital is fundamentally a formal structure wrapped around a few people deciding where to put a big pile of money they control. They tend to be small, top heavy, organizations where the people at the top have a lot of autonomy. That isn't going to change.

If, on the other hand, this makes those firms think a little harder about how they might be making sexist decisions, I can't see it as a bad thing. There's no doubt that women are underrepresented in VC, and I can't help but suspect that that is one reason they are underrepresented in Tech.
As I see it, many main stream users use such a service to avoid geo blocking. Which is a feature you call teleporting. How do you plan to resolve the problem of Netflix/Amazon Prime blacklisting your VPN servers' IPs? Obviously this is part of your product as you list it as a feature. Hence, people might argue that your product is faulty and ask you to return their money.
Typical of humanity's poor prioritization algorithm, I submitted on this 88 days ago … and got zero comments <whomp_whaa>.

>But the guy with authority (local elected mayor, not the state emergency manager)

doesn't the emergency manager have more authority than the elected mayor? How much did the mayor know and how much power did he have?

>and the engineers/technicians/???

1. the plant manager was prosecuted

2. what's the point of prosecuting non-managerial employees? Did they participate in the cover-up? Were they supposed to predict what was going to happen?
As you say "Microsoft doesn't bother writing" and his girlfriend uses MS Word on OS X if I understood. Can she then use that feature to recover her work after she had done the "Save" from the MS Word or not?
It doesn't sound to me like this is necessarily a DMCA complaint. While the DMCA defines certain procedures in return for certain protections, I don't think it actually forbids just dropping Facebook a note saying "Hey, this is infringing content", without even having to necessarly own the content in question, and if Facebook chooses to aggressively take it down, what recourse do you have? Filing a counternotice won't necessarily do anything, as far as I can tell.
I've always been quite intrigued by the game of Rithmomachy. It was quite popular and even rivaled chess in popularity during it's hayday. You begin to understand it's complexity when you realize that "Proper Victories" are achieved by creating arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic sequences with the pieces.

I bought my MBA (top of the line) last week, it is amazing. It does everything I need it to do. When I take out my MBP 15inch now...it feels like a huge brick.
Err... what? If you're even a half-serious developer, you're going to have a static IP or something like dyndns. You're also going to have your own domain, VPN, and port forwarding. Setting this up on your own network is trivial. You can use it no matter where you are, so long as you have internet. Just buy a cheapo router that supports DD-WRT, set up dyndns, and you're good to go. Seriously.

I get it that some people aren't great at networking, but all this stuff is really basic. Not that hard to learn.

Yep, you get job security but pay for it with lower pay. Cost of living is a lot less (well housing has gone up because of the oil fields).
This actually makes sense in politics, because a successful party can exercise charity on your behalf using tax money.

It's the "Swedish model" -- there private charity is rare, but public welfare and development aid is generally accepted and supported by voters.
Interesting work, which ties in with the article "Neuroscience of the Gut" from Scientific American submitted yesterday.

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2465085

Two statements in the article caught my eye:

"He also notes that so far, all the subjects come from industrial nations, and thus eat similar foods. 'This is a shortcoming,' he said. 'We don’t have remote villages.'" So the investigator would still like to know a lot more about how differences in diet might influence microbiomes.

Also, the article noted, "The scientists then searched for patterns. 'We didn’t have any hypothesis,' Dr. Bork said. 'Anything that came out would be new.'" This, of course, could be referred to as data-mining,

http://norvig.com/experiment-design.html

(See Warning Sign D7: Lack of a Specific Hypothesis, or Overzealous Data Mining)

and what I think this scientist would himself acknowledge is that before this research can develop, scientists need to form testable hypotheses about microbiomes and then put those hypotheses to the test. Typological thinking is a frequent characteristic of early stages of developing theories in biology, and it may be that eventually a more nuanced form of population thinking will emerge in the study of human-hosted microbiomes.

1. Comon, that nip picking. The clojure one has more feature (reordering, %&) more and you have to write 3 more chars because of it. I think thats not a bad traid. How cares about these 3 chars?

2. I don't know what that is and I never saw a anouncment something like that on the mailing list. If somebody wirtes something like that and put it on the mailinglist im sure people will pick it up.

3. Im in #clojure often and I never even heard something like that. Sure often people say "macros should not be uses in that case" but often enought I saw how people heroiclly showed new programmers how to do macros.

When Windows adopted Unicode, I think the only encoding available was UCS-2. They converted pretty quickly to UTF-16 though, and I think the same is true of everybody else who started with UCS-2. Unfortunately UTF-16 has its own set of hassles.
When I'm writing Python at Google, and get yet another error because my Python or Markdown line exceeds 80 characters, and read the fights on the mailing lists about changing the limit, I think Go was created because it was easier to create a whole new language than get the line length increased for Python.
We haven't looked too much into VPNs, although we do need some plumbing to distribute our whole infrastructure at Deuxfleurs.

You're right, you can actually own a Geo Metro and drive it and fix it on your own, as opposed to the Ferrari which is nothing more than an expensive toy you cannot take out for anything useful. At least the Ferrari doesn't have a subscription (aside from the one you'll take at your gas station to make up for the 30L/100km that it gets)
No, not really, I can't confirm that. I'm using third party app[0] which has nothing to do with Xiaomi. It only requires login with official app once in order to obtain encryption(?) key. After that all functionalities can be used without any problems or settings opening automatically. I guess the quoted person has misconfigured something.

> They rely on a qualitative understanding of inflation like the Austrians as opposed to a CPI quantitative understanding.

Perhaps I’ve missed this, but what the hell is a “qualitative” understanding of inflation, and where have MMTer argued this?

Edit: after doing some basic searching, it seems that MMT’s primary critique is that CPI is a poor measure of overall inflation, and that it shouldn’t be a primary target of fed policy, because monetary policy mechanisms don’t have a very direct impact on moving the index.
Is that descriptive or prescriptive?

In their theory, what does fractional reserve banking do?
And even when I pay cash, I just throw it at them and run, so no contact there either.
Option 3: Regulatory pressure forces Apple to give up the app store monopoly, which gates 50+% of personal computing that Americans do behind a taxation straitjacket.

I'm no fan of Meta, but Apple wields too much power over every single industry. Just today it became clear they're gunning for the payments industry... Good god. Movie studio, car, 50+% of American computing. Standard Oil and then some.
IT industry had falling prices for last 60 years.
Also the ability to easily broadcast events up and down the component hierarchy.
Even in Python 3?
The example you gave works perfectly in Python 2.7 (would also be a generator, and you're not using map filter or else); but I agree: those should've been generators from day 1, especially zip and enumerate since they make more elegant code but often come with a performance overhead in Python 2.7
Other than friends-and-family, are there really people that invest without a hope of return?
While I totally agree with your basic sentiment about finding data for a particular confirmation bias, I really just mean an objective study that tracks urban and rural patterns across different areas of the country. It would be even more awesome if each state would have one done since state laws can really effect what supplementary income programs are available and to whom. It would be great to have that comprehensive picture BEFORE trying to take meaningful action or for an opinion. I'm just looking for raw data without a prescribed hypothesis. The simple question, How do they do it?

I'm not looking to give answers as to reasons for their situation... I just want to know how they survive from one area to the next in that situation.
Sorry but Basecamp is utter crap.
I'm a developer working in London - I've been here for the last five years. Immigrants seem disproportionately represented in the software dev industry (but not IT in general).

Quite a few from the EU, but a lot from Commonwealth countries (NZ, Aus, SA).

I've always found the mix very strange.
Hey I'm interested in this and have tried to code some stuff in C# for options trading and using candlestick patterns, support/resistance, etc. I'm now sort of looking into options pinning on expiration and exploiting that - just need to find a good cheap source for options data.

It's not that they reversed the aging process, they introduced telomerase back to the mice, which were already damaged to begin with as a result of the genetic tampering to deprive them of it in the first place. The mice then healed. I wouldn't say they reversed the aging process, but rather made it more normal again - did they end up getting cancer?

A rabbi recently told me that the shortening of life expectancies started after Noah and the flood, and that Abraham was the first person who's physical appearance began to decline in line with his age, which he wanted - he wanted to look his age. He also said that after the flood something happened to us, but biologically we're capable of living a lot longer.
Obama seriously politicized HHS to achieve unpopular things he couldn’t do through legislation.
I do not know the case of every editor for all journals. Just sharing my direct knowledge as an employee of a large not for profit society. We did indeed pre pandemic have ~100 editors coming in the office not for free. THey now work remote not for free along with others around the world that are paid.

Here are our financials it is public. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/131...

Not you but just in general sometimes HN is hard if you post an observation or direct experience that is not in the hivemind. You get downvoted for things even though they are well reasoned and true. I personally don't care if journals get disrupted there are indeed a lot of problems. I work in tech, I will have another job tomorrow. I was just making the point that we don't just have free scientists doing work and then upload PDFs to the internet and charge for them. If that was the case we could have journals for a few hundred dollars a month rather than the 10s of millions we spend. I also too think we are honest, do good work, are thrifty, and provide a good service.
The conservative right Twitter is called https://parler.com/

And yeah it’s gaining a lot of members recently.
I chose the wording “maybe a half hour or 45 minutes” to make it crystal-clear that the exact number was not relevant to the argument, in a vain effort to avoid responses like this one. Perhaps I should be more explicitly vague in the future. HN is tiring.

What was wrong with my tone?

> I gave you the name of the author to read, Mech, in my previous post.

I'm not going to read a book for this. That's so silly. If you are the one making an outrageous claim, cite the claims yourself. It's like you claiming that the earth is flat and then demanding I read some book to "inform" myself.

> Some youngs situationaly fight other youngs but you can't establish a ranking of individual in a wild pack.

Actually, the fighting is establishing a rank.

> That wouldn't make much sense.

Of course it makes sense. Just because you say it doesn't make sense don't make it true.

> Human families don't have hierarchy.

Yes we do. Parents at top and then kids ( pretty much by age ). Ever heard of patriarchy/matriarchy?

> Young children are subordinate to their parents until they come of age

Oh so there is a hierarchy?

> I am starting to understand your confusion.

I don't have any confusion. You are confused. You say there is no hierarchy and then use words describing a hierarchy.
