I've set off the explosion detector before. I didn't receive anything like what OP did. And honestly, I chalk up a decent amount of that up to having the good luck of being white.

I did get pulled into a separate area, and treated like criminal. Two agents stood by me the entire time while another one gave me another pat down. They opened up my backpack and rifled through everything (which was, I think, the most offensive part of everything), and meticulously swabbed and tested each area of my backpack.

I did receive similar questions "Where are you going," "Why are you here," "Why would your bag be setting off our alarm?" etc..

After a few more searches, a few more scans, and a lot more questions they finally let me go through security. Whole process probably took about 20 minutes -- twenty terrifying minutes -- but in the end, it was relatively painless compared to OPs.

I don't think his treatment was in any way justified by setting off an explosive materials detector.
Why does this merge also delete all sorts of (seemingly) unrelated files? Like the 'rocket' and 'Cyclades' drivers in this case.
I agree, the STOP <GUI OPERATION> messages really trigger me. And the repo has 2.7k stars. But on the other hand, it's a very good resource to look up and discover some CLI commands that you didn't know already.
Also cp will silently overwrite existing files (unless it's aliased to cp -i), while if you were using a GUI you'd get `(1)` appended to the filename, that while not very helpful, doesn't cause DATA LOSS when you don't know your way around the shell.

Agreed, it's written by an edgy teenager and I'm not sure who's the audience.
Do you mean same solution? I didn't think you can mix languages over the same project in C# / F#
Sad. I didn't know the truthers were now targeting the OKC bombing. Oh well, at least they make it easy to spot when they include 911 in URLs.
Open standards are nice, and Javascript is in many ways better than Java or C# (but not better than F#, for example). But I am a professional programmer, and from my point of view Javascript is still a boring mess. Heterogeneity is the key, and native apps will rule. After all, that's what protocols are for, to mediate between different entities. I want to be able to create content that is not limited to technologies imposed by the W3C.
I had a similar problem at the end of the book, in that it's difficult to describe a world where poverty does not exist and where no one really suffers as a dystopia. ("a society characterized by human misery, as squalor, oppression, disease, and overcrowding.")

Why I feel it's a bad world... Stunting natural fetal growth and then torturing small children to condition them into complacent compliance with their destined roles seems morally indefensible to me.

(Incidentally, soma was repeatedly described as side-effect free. I'm curious where you read it as having destructive qualities.)
Of course, Opera is the only browser that has challenged Chrome claims of the faster browser ever (in production builds, that's it).

> Blocking it just because one can is pure evil!

It means they value market share over standards. Very evil indeed.
right just 4 users away now... keep going guys
It's a shame these businesses aren't getting off the ground, just when the economy needs them most.
1. Socialism
2. Totalitarianism
First, they do often fail and are replaced by new companies where sclerosis hasn't set in yet.

Second, even huge megacorps are tiny compared to countries. Microsoft is about the same population as Antigua and Barbuda, and if Antigua and Barbuda tried to go the Soviet state controlled economy route I predict that they would be much more successful at it than the Soviets were because its much easier to govern a smaller country.
PHP's comments are moderated, and I don't believe that a comment is even allowed on the page until it's passed at least some moderator's standards.

That said, I think the comments absolutely belong there, as it's typically where I find the gotchas that don't make it into the language docs. Comments like "you can use this function most of the time, but if you're foo, functionB() is faster for those cases" are invaluable in optimization, and are seldom well-published in official language docs.

What that means is that I can be a slow expert in the PHP language versus the years of experience it would take me to divine those truths working in another language.
That was my point. When I read in his article that he wasn't requiring a password to post, I thought I'd see if he was telling the truth, turns out he was.

Cut/paste that string is still quite fiddly.

Do you know why slicehost doesn't just make their private API key a link in the slice manager? I'm also curious what extra level of security the API key buys. If I lose my phone people can still mess with my slices.

I thought the iphone app was a slicehost product - but are you saying you just developed the app as a customer? That's mighty generous...
Fail, please refer to Evolution.
Like said, the "view source" as viewing the html text source code has been around for ever. But the "Inspect Element" OR "visual representation of the DOM Tree" has been established AT LEAST since IE8 with the F12 Developer Tools.
"government assistance" sometimes means the government lending you some of the tax that you've already paid them back.

It's called a safety net because it saves people.
Besides being a very interesting hack, this made me laugh:

"(and contained as to not get IN the scanner, as that does NOT help the process)"

Not sure why but this seemed really funny in the technical context.
So does Mozilla's contract with Yahoo allow Mozilla to track query data and maybe feed it to underdog search engines like DDG or Blekko (oops)?
Cool idea! I'll give it a go, thanks for sharing
As the article points out, this is not a new technique. Increasing your resolving power by immersion of the target object in a liquid medium is actually used in ICs manufacturing.

This is because resolving power is directly proportional to numerical aperture, which is in turn proportional to the refractive index of the medium between the imaging device and the target object.

As a result, it works both ways: you can use it to increase resolution while either sending or receiving beams of light. For instance, the same technique is also used in light microscopy.

In the end, this is a clever and straightforward hack.
There is a greater possibility to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency. At the same time, I think chances are those savings will not be realized due to all the buracracy that can happen as people flex their power muscles. For example, needing JQuery to be reviewed in its entirety before being allowed due to security concerns and an official rule that all code used must either be developed in house, purchased (aka, having someone else to blame if something happens), or fully reviewed before use.
My favorite post on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4245960#up_4247615
I took the point to be that there isn't always a clear "simpler" way to implement something, and that when someone is hesitant to accept what to you is the obvious simple solution, listen to their concerns.

Mainly this comes from the 2nd paragraph.
Hacker news likes wierd articles.
WRT HEP experiments, I'm hoping the developments in laser acceleration of charged particles leads to accelerator-like experiments being much cheaper and thus more easily doable for smaller groups and labs, it would at least increase the number of variations in conditions.

But, you're right about scientists assuming a lot about the universe. In cosmology, this is known as the Cosmological Principle[0], which is expressed in the language of the field as homogeneity of the matter distribution of the universe. Implicit hypotheses with this is that fundamental constants are constant and the laws of physics are the same. The basic idea is the assumption that the Earth is not special, therefore, experiments done here, while accounting for particular effects like earth's gravity, being a non-inertial frame, etc., would be representative of any point other point of space.

And it's not that this is a bad assumption. For example, spectra analysis of elements on earth has given us good ways to figure out the elements of stars far out of reach, and it is one hell of a coincidence that the spectra we see in stars is so similar to elements here like hydrogen and helium that one can't assume that earth was just gifted with these elements while other parts weren't. This is just one example of the success of this assumption.

Women engineers should be encouraged to learn how to negotiate salary themselves, or from a mentor. They should also be encouraged to view salary negotiation as a positive part of their soft skills, rather than a necessary evil.
Yeah, it's a worthwhile clarification. Of course, the distinction is less hard than it might be, given that a lot of us build with -Werror.
Any way to force renew early?
I have a hard time understanding how the copyright system suppresses creativity considering we have available now more creative output, in a wider variety, conveniently available at reasonable prices including free, than has ever been the case before
We are a diverse bunch.
This might work:

"U.S. judges propose updating warrants for Tor, remote searches: p338 (2014)"

It captures that the source of these recommendations is a judicial conference of federal judges, not the FBI, and that it's dated August 2014. And it mentions the more interesting section (to me) on page 340, which is the fact that warrants could authorize "remote access to search electronic storage and seize or copy electronically stored information" via the Internet.

Not perfect, but it seems workable...
We're two days from a hostile coup and you're suggesting protests. I really don't know what to think about your suggestion honestly.
It’s a great question. I think probably:

- it’s very social and online first, kids can play with each other online seamlessly

- it’s simple. Most games you join and do silly kid stuff.

- there’s endless freedom to create new games and experiences

- a strong YouTube presence with popular you tubers that get kids excited to try different things.
I don't think so.

I do lots of compiling at work and our compiler hasn't changed in 5+ years.

pre spectre my 8700k could do 20k lines/sec. Post spectre with mitigation it's about 10k, with them disabled it's about 15k.

There's clearly been some under the hood changes to windows beyond these optional? changes.

She conceded hours after polls closed. 2019 likely was not the first time she criticized Trump's legitimacy, but the intention was always different.
I also use Telegram because one of my friends was really stubborn. Like many here, I think it's a great service/client but probably has some security issues (although they are largely trade-offs). However, I don't agree that my example backs your view: there's no way I could get my other friends and family to switch en-masse. I still only use it pretty much with that one friend and a small group around him. And all the others say the same: they hate on the guy for being a pain despite liking the app.
> you’re saying we went wrong with the kids and now we should not do the same for adults

Well, I'm not defending that position so much as I am parroting that crowd's idea that unsupervised childhoods were better.

I think in both cases there's an element of prescribing the loss of options in favor of some notion of greater good. Whether it is a warranted trade-off or not, I don't know, but the Benjamin Franklin quote comes to mind: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety"
> Whereas under the Federal law money goes direct to the police agency

Which is bad, because it directly incentivizes individual groups of cops to take as much as possible.

> and under state laws the money goes to a State fund

Which is good, because it removes the "personal benefit" aspect of the police taking assets.

> where presumably the State law makers can get their greedy little hands

Only if the police have an incentive to put it into their hands.
I, too, dream of the day when we can revive long-extinct species for the purpose of eating them.
Sorry, you're right, I did get confused.

All the same, do we have expected production numbers, and when production is expected to ramp up to those numbers? (for the ID.3 and ID.4) ?
Signal shows contacts (and just bare phone numbers as well) inside the app which have not been in my contact list for years (but once were).

And this is how Signal suggests doing it https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007319011#io...:

If you connect to a black hole Arduino AP is it smart enough to detect that and roam to an open Wifi network?
Instead of a TV you can buy a 4K monitor and some audio speakers. Simple but effective.
Because of diminishing returns.

If you want to build some piece of electronics, it helps if you know the value of pi to a certain precision. But does it really matter for someone making a guitar amp what is the 100th digit of pi?

How many times have you done a Google search and went beyond the first page to check if you find what you were looking for?

If Michael Phelps were to live forever, how many Olympic Games and Gold medals would it take for him to say "you know what? I am tired of spending 30 hours per week on a swimming pool. Gimme a hit of that bong."?

If historians had access to the recorded history of 1% of the population, we certainly would have a better understanding of the past. 10%, even more. But would this understanding change in any significant way if we had access to 50%, 80%, 100%?
That's a really interesting idea! The closest things I've seen along those lines are Javadoc and its numerous bastard progeny (most notably Doxygen), which omit the "documentation in txt files" part entirely, and "shadow blocks" in Forth systems, where if I understand correctly you'd put the textual documentation a fixed number of blocks away from the source code on disk. So, if that offset were 50, code block 42 would correspond to shadow block 92, and there was a short command in the editor to jump back and forth between displaying the code and the comments (screens were too small at the time to display both at once). But I never used these systems.
TVs come in bigger sizes.
I'm a college student and all my professors have switched to having us launch zoom with our cameras on, and then just watching our faces during the exam.
I am not saying it’s a good idea but such restrictions shouldn’t be there in a “free market/capitalist” country like the US.
Putting criminals in jail is most definitely a solution. The problem is instantly solved when offenders are no longer present.

"Outside city limits" would be because of the prohibitively high cost of real estate and regulations in San Francisco.

Allowing people to commit crimes with impunity is not a solution. It is effectively punishing law-abiding people.
As an outsider I feel SF (and CA, HI) have this hyper-tolerance for identity and personal freedom that makes any discourse in opinion just unacceptable...
How times have changed. You can now get a two port (S11/S21) battery-powered color touchscreen NanoVNA vector network analyzer that can do Smith charts, SWR, and all kinds of other things for under $40. I use one to analyze ham radio antennas and it's not perfect, but works well enough for my needs and is an incredible value. The firmware for it is open source, too.
On the grounds that laws allowing such patents shouldn't exist.
Actually since it's a fixed, semi-private location, it seems really easy to monitor for drug deals. As other comments said it's almost easier to just do deals in public/daylight since not every spot on the sidewalk can be watched at all times.
really strange person. reveling for the downfall of a company that would yield negative effects on you and your coworkers.

while I find this story interesting to see how things play out, what lessons learned, etc, I don't revel at all about what is happening even though it has no direct impact on me. I feel bad for those 2.5k+ employees that went from 'our company is going to go public and this is going to pay off nicely to me' to "I got nothing and now I'm being laid off". Its sad, sorry that happened to them.

The wework debacle is already having negative ramifications in tech where companies are over correcting from earnings growth and investment to higher bottom lines. This will also lead to lower pay and opportunity for many tech workers. I'm not reveling.
Still waiting for a revolution which has the optimal amount of hype. I wonder if this is an application for GANs.
I go to LinkedIn without being logged in and nearly always get a login gate instead of the profile.

They were ordered to unblock hiQ specifically, they were not ordered to open up content to scrapers generally.

They can still throttle high volume traffic and put up captchas. I think the only specific thing the court ordered was for them to unblock hiQ IP ranges.
Depends on geography. It is available in India (and from local manufacturers with same quality but different brand)
It's the little things that make all the difference imo.

For example, while Facebook Groups does allow commenting by email, if you attach a picture to a reply, it doesn't appear in the group.

Secondly, I don't see many small businesses or even teams within large companies using Facebook Groups to collaborate.
I am relearning/refreshing math with khanacademy.org. Highly recommended!
Building on that you could use http://viglink.com like Posterous has to convert all links that are potential affiliate links.

Would be interesting to see how many links that would actually apply to. My guess is that it would be a very small percentage.
I think they're more hedging their bets on customers using the service for a few months and replacing their current (if they have it) host with Linode and once their credit runs out being so invested in Linode as a service -- realising it rocks and having their stuff all there -- they won't have a reason to move and if they choose to it'll be a pain to do so.
I found this (free) book really useful: http://designingfortheweb.co.uk/book/index.php
This article assumes that companies die due to competition. In reality, tech companies die from within. What would kill Facebook is a bunch of dumbbells on the inside making stupid decisions and sticking to them.
I don't recall that Yahoo was ever the top search engine, by the way.

Yes, but lots of people wanted to be like Yahoo. I think the whole portal idea came from sites wanting to be like them.
I'd say all of those are irrelevant to the central moral/legal premise which is: did she enter into a contract to purchase the tickets? If she entered a bid on ebay she is obligated to go through with the transaction.

That said the cancer thing is sketchy as hell in context, thanks for mentioning it.
define "we"
I'd say a standard well written NDA that specifies the role of Mr. Zuckenberg would be sufficient to take over a significantly greater role in FB.
So, a standard NDA - very simple yet very effective in making sure your disclosure enjoys a good level of protection.
As a single male there's a limit to how much talk about a co-worker's children I can stand. If they have an interesting story to tell then that's fine, but if the parents start chatting about/comparing their children then it's time for me to go and do something else.

Right now I'm not a fan of children, this will probably change when I get my own (in many years), but until then I'd rather talk about something else.
1. Another instance where (google.com) is quite misleading.

2. The screenshot, and this is as politely as I can put it, makes the app look quite unfinished.
If we're speaking purely in terms of debate for purposes of Aumann-theoretic truth-finding, then there's many other things you can do to accede to someone else's point than by simply saying some moral equivalent to "Hear, hear!" For example, you can reinforce the parent post with additional justifications, or explore corollaries to its conclusions. You can provide an example if it's a generality, or generalize it if it's a concrete example. Someone I don't know saying "This!" about a subject I'm no expert on is just as informationally-empty to me as that same person posting a single-sentence "No, you're wrong." I see an opinion, but that provides me with no more basis on which to form my opinion.

But agreeing and disagreeing aren't the whole of discussion, either. The posts I enjoy the most on HN are neither of these—instead, they're just comments on the subject of the article, but with the ideas of their parent commenter serving as an additional jumping-off point for whatever tangent they find themselves on. When I think of something that's valuable to the discussion (and therefore deserves upvotes), I think of the parents to these posts—the ones that cause people to spin off tangents in all sorts of directions; those are what I want to see more of here. On the other hand, the expression of purely normative opinions, whether through the voting arrows or through long-winded sermons that still simply amount to "Yay!" or "Boo!", is something I want to see avoided altogether. I can form my own opinions by reading the facts in the discussion and doing research on them, thank-you-very-much—and if I don't have time to do that, then I shouldn't think I have time to form an opinion.
That's been listed in the AppEngine roadmap for a few months now.
To me it seems like Triton is about shoehorning Linux into Solaris/SmartOS containers. While this seems great for accelerating adoption, why not just use SmartOS-specific Dockerfiles/repos in conjunction with sdc-docker (Not directly addressing the parent, more of a general question)? Imagine all of the crazy bugs and edge cases that will arise when trying to run Linux binaries on UNIX.

I'm surely making some assumptions, but the primary languages/developers that something like this targets are probably like Java, Javascript/Node.js, Ruby, Python, C...which are probably all portable enough to run on SmartOS without much/any modification.
Streisand[0] also only takes about 10 times, but with fewer mouse clicks and is much, much more secure. By default it tunnels OpenVPN over stunnel so that your connections looks exactly like regular SSL sessions (albeit SSL sessions that last for months at a time).

Design is easy. Good design is hard.
IN 1900 US population was 1/4th what it is today (76M). The US also had access to a lot more wood per person so our homes use far less concrete. Also, US useless more asphalt vs concrete for roads so it's not exactly an apples to apples comparison.
