A lot of the paranoia is just that--paranoia. Still, there are a lot of people messing around on the wifi and some playing with cell stations, so some caution is justified.

If you're going on the company dime and thus have a rental car, the best thing to do is stay at a hotel somewhere else. I haven't gone since they changed venues, but I used to stay at a chain hotel on the other side of the Strip from the Rio. I'd use their hotel wifi but push all my communications over an ssh tunnel, which is what you should be doing anyway on ANY public wifi.

When I got to the conference, I tended to just put my phone in airplane mode and leave it like that. I'd bring a spare laptop and boot Linux off a USB stick so I could take notes; I sometimes turned on wifi but never signed in to anything online, just looked up wikipedia articles and such. You're probably not at such a great risk because security is a lot better these days (SSL and whatnot), but you'll pay more attention to the talks if you don't have your usual set of distractions available.

Go see the Strip, but after you've seen it once I've never felt much draw to go back. If you have a car, drive over and see Red Rock Canyon in the evening, it's just outside of town and very beautiful. Lots of good restaurants around, just pick what you're interested in. I had some pretty authentic and tasty Chinese food about a mile off the strip last time I went.

It's a lot of fun, relax and enjoy!

Well, it will hurt the manufacturer too if the flaw is only present in their systems etc.
I think all but two are related to golang. The other two issues are attached to some project named iris.
We are not consumers. Intel would be foolish to optimize their consumer chips for us. If you want a workstation class machine you buy a Xeon. Adding memory channels is not free, and with 4 channels you get 64GB given current DDR4 capacity.
I can't bring myself to use iPhone because of the walled garden. Sorry, but I shouldn't have to pay $99 and own a licensed mac computer running OSX just to develop an app and test it on my phone.
Android has a couple editors now that let you develop an app directly on your device. The Apple DRM isn't even that hard to break, which is such a shame because the only people being hurt by it are legitimate customers and people looking to get into development for it.

Yes, you can jailbreak your iPhone and install unsigned code. You can even set up a compiler toolchain to build your iOS apps, but you shouldn't have to do all of that just to build an app for your phone.
I'd guess the lurk percentage (I assume you mean lurkers are people looking at the site who don't have accounts) may be lower than usual, because you can't subscribe to subreddits without an account
APAP is shown to calibrate as well as a sleep study, and at least in my case, it was pretty straightforward to find the right pressure by feel.

Personally, I did steps 2-4 above, got an APAP prescription valid until the end of time, and bought a new machine online. (Maybe insurance would reimburse? I didn't even bother; time is money too.)
At 8-12 years do you get paid more than a new hire? Seems a "good" way to keep costs down, having the bulk of work done by the new guys - and a few partners to oversee everything.

The downside is the average experience of your employee is going to be a lot lower, but that must not be the top goal of the law firms that employee this.

How does slapping another license on it dissolve this one? They're using it under this other license that you agreed to, not the CC-NC one.
I would advise against this attitude in general because even for the same person it varies. When I was in college, I once slept like a baby after taking an evening time 4 shot espresso drink. I tried the same thing a few months later and couldn't sleep a wink (this was the night before a final exam).

I drink afternoon coffee all the time and am usually fine. I tried it 2 days ago and couldn't sleep at all. My unscientific speculation is that eating a light dinner that night combined with the coffee was too much.

If they have time to be friendly, perhaps they aren't so overworked and can really treat you more effectively. It sounds like an indicator of better treatment.

If doctors are always rushed off their feet, that's probably not an ideal hospital to be in. It sounds like mismanagement. We wouldn't accept it in most other industries.
A lot of cool stuff on that site but annoying that they hijack the "back" button.
next, Google will do away with it's inflated search result count (ie: "About 171,000,000 results" turns out to really be 322 results if you search for: youtube 301, on Google, on my computer)
I agree. Presentation is everything and images from the Voyager, Cassini, Hubble, the Mars landers, New Horizons, have done so much to inspire writers, artists, and has gotten kids interested in Science.

A repository of images would be amazing and provide a terrific return on investment intellectually, artistically, and even monetarily if a small fee was charged to maintain it.

For the employee it's not. For the employer, it obviously is. If you can't get hired somewhere else, you're not going to bail.

As someone dealing with basically this situation, it sucks, but if I was also getting handed one-off "solve this puzzle and we're going to use the code you make every day" problems and raises early and often, it wouldn't suck nearly this much.

In the US that may be the case, but in Canada purchases from iTunes are still DRMed.

[edit] - nope, sorry, I'm wrong. Assumed it was still there because I recently got a new machine and had to "authorize" it to play my iTunes purchases. The files, however, play in any audio player, so I guess it's a soft drm?
While this is just lovely news, I'll withhold my breathless excitement for the headline: "Google implements monthly security updates for Nexus phones"
XNView is good software for browsing, speedy. Kind of like Irfanview but in my opinion a bit better in the UI. I do like Irfanview a lot though. One fave feature of xnview for me is how you can export a text file from folders / subfolders you're in plain text or CSV. I've found it useful over the years. Also for image organization batch renaming is pretty essential, I use antrenamer on windows for years, love it. NameChanger for Mac. Linux I have a fave but i cant' recall the name.

I agree with the bunker mentality of the NASA centers. That said, the PDS (https://pds.nasa.gov/) is the closest thing to a central source for planetary data and imagery. And they run the photo journal (http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/index.html)
I think the winning strategy in this case is to conceal from your prospective employer that you're under a non-compete and hope for the best.

If your former company is not vindictive enough to send a copy of the form to your new employer, you win. If they are vindictive enough - you lose, but you would have lost if you told your prospective employer that you were bound by a non-compete anyway.

The mere fact that skilled workers need to contemplate such deceptive tactics as part of their everyday "pursuit of happiness" so that a business can enjoy some risk mitigation I think underlines that Hawaii is spot on in making non-competes outright illegal.
Tokyo Court: Bitcoin Not Subject to Ownership
The whole things feels more like an easy way of putting (more) people into jail than anything else. Since the tech crowd isn't running around on the street smoking their joints (well, for the most part at least) it's far easier for law enforcement to shoot them down via the help of some random audio file on one of their devices.

TPP is as much a political agenda as it is a trade agreement. The US wants their "standards" around the globe, so they can get you anytime, anywhere without you having any chance of defending yourself. You cannot build a global surveillance state if there are still people around which can potentially undermine you by use of technology, so you need to get rid of them in a "nice and clean" way, and charging some cryptographers for illegal music will produce much less public outcry as if you were to put them into prison for doing their everyday work.

How sad it may sound, Cameron could learn a lot from these folks :/
Right there in front of me. Now I'm wondering when and why I changed that behavior at home (I'm assuming the "Only on clean exit" setting is the default).
There is a big difference between "untested code" and "tdd code"

There are two different ways to test code.

1) Do the TDD thing. Write 1 test. Code to pass. Repeat.

2) Write code that works. Iterate on it. Refactor, clean it up. Then write some tests that test the final product.

You can have tested code in both cases, but I claim the code from #2 will look cleaner than the code from #1.

If a person is unable to lose weight on their own, even after a doctor advises them that it could literally cure a life-threatening disease, what does that tell you?

This is the typical exchange in the US:

MD: Losing 20kg of body fat would reduce your other symptoms tremendously.
Pt: Great. Can you help me do that?
MD: No.
Pt: But I just gave you a $30 co-pay on a $300 office visit.
MD: I can prescribe pills to treat your symptoms for as long as you continue to take
them, and order additional tests. You won't know how much the tests will cost until
after you take them, and your insurance denies the claim to stick you with the entire
bill.
Pt: Could you prescribe exercise? Would that let me use my insurance to get a bench and
barbell or exercise bike or elliptical machine or something?
MD: No. Your insurance won't cover a preventative treatment that would very
inexpensively reduce your risk for literally dozens of horribly expensive diseases.
The assumption is that you won't exercise, even if you own all the necessary
equipment in your home.
Pt: What about a prescription diet? Could I go on Atkins or some other ketogenic diet?
MD: I can't recommend any diet in particular, because I don't want to get sued, or
censured and persecuted by the AMA. But yes, changes to your diet may or may not
help you achieve a goal of fat loss, depending on what the available research may
indicate.
Pt: What research? Can I read it?
MD: Are you a student or professor?
Pt: No.
MD: Then you probably don't want to pay Elsevier $100 a pop just to read articles with
ambiguous results.
Pt: What about liposuction?
MD: That's a cosmetic procedure. You can't afford it, and your insurance won't pay a
dime.
Pt: Fat loss drugs?
MD: None approved by the FDA that won't make your heart explode.
Pt: Why am I here?
MD: Because you want to help pay for my daughter's orthodontic treatment?
Thank you for the information. While its with my own money it'll be a very educational experience.

For sure, my sleep doc and I definitely discussed that and it's part of the plan. However, my dad also has obstructive apnea, and he is very much normal weight. He even had apnea surgery, and it didn't help at all. At my physical exam, the sleep doc said I had a large tongue which contributed (haha).
It is necessary to mention it. My impression is, the best way to go is to get the apnea treated first, most likely with CPAP. Once your sleep is improved and you get more energy, then you should get on a weight loss program, using diet and exercise. After losing weight, it's possible you won't even need CPAP anymore, and you'll be "cured" from apnea.

This is why losing weight is one of the most important steps. The CPAP should make it easier to do so.

It seems to be giving everyone in the TPP area "Fair Use" rights. This is a HUGE positive change to Canada, NZ and Australia which haven't had that previously. [1]

However, the TPM section will make every single citizen in New Zealand a criminal. You see, in NZ every DVD player is sold region-free. The salesperson will say "would you like that region free"? Not being stupid, everyone says "yes", and proceeds to buy DVDs/BluRays from Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com. [2] Although, it does have this caveat:

"[...]applied where any person is found to have engaged willfully and
for the purposes of commercial advantage or financial gain"

Which might give them a fig leaf to hide behind? Then there's this paragraph which looks like a truck sized hole:

"Each Party may provide certain exceptions and limitations to the measures implementing subparagraphs (a)(i) and (ii) in order to enable non­infringing uses"

Oh, this is all around "Rights Management Information", basically, any piece of information which says who the authors, performers, producers and owners are. So, a bit of metadata attached to the mp3 is sufficient. Even a foreign key is allowed. [3]

In addition, the realities of managed care and reimbursement rates mean that--for many types of practices--doctors have to see a pretty large volume of patients every day to be able to stay afloat. No doctor I've talked to likes this state of affairs, but it's a reality. This leads to dissatisfaction because patients feel that their doctor is rushing through the appointment without giving them adequate time. It doesn't necessarily mean they're getting substandard care, but it's also reasonable to feel angry or annoyed by that kind of interaction.

Conversely, many practices will do everything they can to maximize physician utilization, including scheduling lots of back-to-back appointments. Inevitably, if a doctor is actually doing a good job, some visits will uncover more complex health issues than planned and require more than the 15 or 30 minute allotted to address. This means that appointments start to back up, people start having long wait times to see their doctor, and patient dissatisfaction ensues. Again, this isn't a problem with individual doctors or practices-- although it may seem that way to patients--it's systemic.

I actually don't see a problem with Apple's MFi program. Back in 2013, a woman in China was electrocuted by her iPhone 4 due to a non-OEM charger:

http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1283818/woman-electro...

To quote from the article: “Knockoff chargers sometimes cut corners,” Xiang said. “The quality of the capacitor and circuit protector may not be good, and this may lead to the capacitor breaking down and sending 220 volts of electricity directly into the cell phone battery.”

Apple trying to enforce its quality standards on the charging system seems completely reasonable -- yes, even if it means that the end-user has to pay for the quality. Most Apple customers are actually looking for that quality and willing to pay for it.

There is a great teardown analysis of Apple and knock-off chargers at Ken Shirriff's blog:

If the benchmark claims are true I think it'd be super cool! Would have to see for myself though.
My first job out of college I was interviewing of a basic IT lacky position and after interviewing with several dept heads (company was around ~100 people at the time) I ended up getting offers from the business intelligence group and the research group. IT didn't make an offer.

Don't worry about too much, could be a good thing.

Ask HN: Does the use of Tuples in C# lead to poor code maintainability?
As much as I love Tuples for rapid prototyping, I am definitely concerned about the long term readability and maintainability vs. using traditional objects in production software. For instance, it can be difficult to determine what a List<Tuple<string, string, string>> collection actually represents compared to a List<ProductInfo> where ProductInfo is an object with 3 string properties with useful names (ItemNumber, ProductName, Price). Thoughts?

This is my go too library for all new projects now. Big or small because its that easy to work with and makes web development that much easier.
I didn't intend to draw a direct comparison between the two companies. I was merely highlighting that valuation is not solely based on current day financials (it's actually an estimation of future discounted cash flows). That being said... Comparing present day Amazon with present day Uber is a massively unfair comparison. The former is the tech equivalent of an blue chip.
I had this same thought but someone in another hn thread had a good point about how a lot of features still use the core systems. Remote starting your car (a common aftermarket feature for the last 20 years) from an app now obviously needs access to the engine. Even if you disconnect the "core systems" they're still probably going to be connected to the internet.
> If you have a race condition in a multi threaded program, a simple printf is enough to screw the timings and make the bug disappear, it's not at all better than breakpoints and stepping in a debugger.

If you have a race condition in a multi threaded program, a simple printf may be enough to change the timings and make the bug disappear. But a breakpoint and stepping in a debugger is guaranteed to completely change the timings (unless your timings are on the order of minutes).

It's the old class system, an engineer is "blue collar" (no matter where he want to school) and a manager is "white collar".

Of course engineers don't help themselves at all with all the open-source "software should be free" and feel-good "anyone can learn to code" stuff they come out with. If you won't put a cash value on your work, why would they?
I doubt most people prepare to this degree though.

Many empirical studies point out that in fact, the 'friendlier' the staff is (meaning higher 'patient satisfaction scores') the poorer the actual clinical outcomes are at that facility.

Longread but excellent: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/04/the-proble...

As someone who works in healthcare (formerly at the bedside), and who's partner is a current ED nurse, this infuriates me. Department budgets are related to patient satisfaction scores, the EDs generally tend to have low scores because, yes, sorry you've been here for 3 hours, but we had 4 other patients come in (and HIPPA prevents me from telling you that they were level 1 gunshot wounds) and we can't tend to your constipation right at this second. If someone actually were to check Yelp for wait times and then have to wait longer...scores go even lower, reimbursements decrease, staff have higher patient ratios, lather, rinse, repeat.

I assure you, I have seen many, MANY patients complain and file greivances with the Department of Health, Joint Commission, etc, that their toothache, or even general wellness physical, should take prescedence over cardiac arrests. This is in a top 10 hospital in the United States, and we generally score above average with patient satsifaction. The public has no clue and this is not helping.
> For one, all the other developers are going to make you maintain that code for the rest of your life.

Ah, if only that were the case. In reality, developers move between jobs, and bad code always becomes someone else's responsibility eventually.

Instead, it's better to understand that as a professional you should be - if not proud of your results - proud of making the best of a bad situation for whoever will inherit your codebase, be that your future self or a colleague.
Interesting... my entrepreneurial side is kinda fascinated. Another part of me finds it a bit sad.

I guess rights holders fear that there will TV 2.0 on the darknet, given how much bandwidth people will have cheaply in the future its quite likely that such a system will emerge.

I guess they fear the Popcorntime of TV which may be vastly to the commercial offers. Pirates does not need to negotiate content agreements just make good software.
