Why would that be impossible to enforce? If you register a planned trade with the SEC you have to follow through with it or pay a fine equal to the amount of money you saved by not going through with it.
The Made in NY Media Center by IFP partnered with The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment to offer TEN one-year Made in NY Fellowships to NYC based individuals, small businesses, and non-profit organizations from varied Media + Tech backgrounds in order to recognize that different experiences, perspectives, and cultures are critical to advancements in innovation and creativity.

Made in NY Fellows will receive a 12 month Incubator Membership at the Made in NY Media Center by IFP, mentorship by industry leaders and knowledgeable IFP staff, access to IFP classes, networking events, facilities and more.

Did it ever occur to you that these people were simply curious about your experience in life because it was so much unlike their own?
You're mistaken. My first exposure to it was a talk at QCon in Nov 2013. It wasn't posted publicly online until Feb 2014, but here's the link: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/netflix-reactive-rest
> It would be impossible to enforce a prohibition against that, as that would effectively be a requirement to sell.

So? That hardly seems impossible to enforce. You just don't allow cancellations unless they are also planned. If you're allowed to schedule recurring sells, say, 30 days in advance (I don't know what the specific rules are), you should only be able to cancel them with 30 days advance notice.

The whole point of the planned trade exemption is to allow trades to happen independent of insider knowledge. If you allow cancellations, you're allowing insider knowledge to impact the trading.
There was an article/thread about Grave of the Fireflies in particular, just yesterday. I strongly recommend reading the article, at least. :-)

Yes! We launched http://www.VentureNews.co to filter Venture News in the way that Hacker News does for hackers. Let us know if you have more feedback about filtering / moderation.
I saw Grave of the Fireflies last night for the first time, and it has helped me realize how vital it is for everyone to eat healthy food every day. People take this for granted and eat horribly, and you wonder why so many people are bipolar or depressed or crazy.
I don't know whose rule you're referring to, but Atheros has always been far more celebrated in terms of their support and openness towards Linux consumers, appliances, etc. than Intel. They had such an impact on the Linux world that Broadcom ended up opening its drivers as a result.
If I'm still learning what Nixon did, 40 years later, what chance in hell do I have as a voter to make decisions about the value of any current or recent president?

Your final point should be emphasized. Classification and secrecy make information so asymmetric that voting becomes of only symbolic importance - you just can't know.
Now insider traders will follow in the footsteps of fighting game nerds and obsess over cancels.
Just because he takes it seriously doesn't mean anyone else has to.
This gets rid of the false dependency problem. Not a shining example of simplicity or reliability. But, interesting that it works.

That's actually a good example of the strengths and weaknesses of Wikipedia. A pretty terrible opening paragraph, and a jumble of snippets of poorly-integrated information - but organised into sections covering a series of issues, and a lots of links and references that give a very good overview. Compared to a Google search (sans Wikipedia), or britannica.com it's brilliant.
I agree with you in general. There have been successful prosecutions which have resulted in significant jail time. Although the Supremes have yet to weigh in on the latest batch[1], and right now it's not looking good for the Feds.

But I disagree with you about Stevie Cohen. Quite a few of his underlings took a fall, but he personally emerged scot free. He simply wrote a very big check and made his problems go away. He's busy managing his remaining billions in a "family office".

Do you mean there are any special cases situations where entropy is extremely low? Just after reboot? Just after first install? Just after booting a VM from an image (where the "entropy" could be public knowledge)? Container?
I bet answers to that will differ, and correlate fairly well with age. For some people, it will be a few decades before that: http://www.kare.com/portfolio/03_apple_macicons.html. That was a time when an icon wasn't "a drawing showing one object or coherent group of objects", but "around a hundred pixels showing one object or group of objects".
TRIM and "secure erase" are mostly the same thing, but not quite. TRIM is a command the OS sends to say "hey, this data was erased, so you can now safely erase this block at any time", while secure erase means "erase this block right now". With TRIM the SSD firmware has the decision of when to do it, with the other it just goes and does it.

As for the performance, because of how Flash technology works, it can't rewrite data, it first has to "reset" it back to the block/cell being all 1 bits, and then sets specifics bits to 0's. TRIM (and the Garbage Collection algorithms) work around this issue by allowing the SSD to reset blocks in advance, so they're always prepared for a new write. And then there are at least two more mechanisms working along to ensure the lifetime of the drive.

For a good insight into what's going on with your drives, you can read the Wikipedia article, as a start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory

Edit: you meant "read performance" and I read just "performance". Mmmm... on old data, what might be going on is that charge leaked from some of the bits that compose your files, and the ECC algorithms have to go a greater length to correctly recompose your information -- so reads end up being slower. That's my best guess.
RetroPie 3.0 Released
thanks for answering my question. I was recently on a job interview and was asked to solve a problem while coding it up in browser (that's what I meant by phone interview) with the interviewer listening on the phone. I found it hard to do, not because the problem was difficult, but more so, that the experience of coding while someone else is watching and listening to me was new.
According to some people I have seen argue against a code of conduct they would still accept your work because your insults/attacks have "nothing to do with the code".
I have users who are running into problems with slow performance and crashes when doing larges recalcs with 32-bit Excel on their desktops. Can SpreadServe help?
Right. If you're gonna do it, then shut up and do it. Otherwise, find another way to solve the problem: find a new job, put in for a transfer, file a complaint with HR, see a physician, or any of a number of other possibilities. Making clear and specific threats against someone in front of others is the worst possible choice; you're going to find yourself in serious trouble (getting fired seems like the minimum), and you're not going to solve anything.

That was my takeaway, but then I thought everyone already knew that.
Yup. A COC is supposed to codify that so it seems less arbitrary? I think it could be good idea in principle, if only to prevent all this pointless drama. Unfortunately, many of these seem to be pushed by political interests looking to gain power in communities, and that's never good. It seems like the most COC that would ever be needed amounts to:

"Be respectful. If someone violates this, give them the benefit of the doubt and talk to them about it before bringing it to the community. We're all adults here, lets act like it."
Rhodia makes some great paper. In my experience, better even than the more famous Moleskine.
All of the Ubuntu distros have full support for many of Nvidia's cadillac video cards and it's drop in. I was literally playing CS:GO 5 minutes ago on my Xubuntu box I built to game on. I also haven't had to install a driver for any peripheral or other component in any of machines for at least 8 years now. The very few times I do have to do tier 1-2 support for someone on a Windows machine at work, it requires some driver related bullshit for even the most basic devices.
I have always done better with donations than from ads, going back several years. I am currently researching Patreon as a possibility for the future. I have never had much traffic. I am working on that. My traffic is getting steadier and, after a whole lot of thought and research, here are some things I have done that are showing promise early on:

Post a well positioned note thanking people for supporting the site by white listing you on ad blocker "or" via tips. Reposition your donate button as a tip jar.

Stop using the word donations. Find language that signals that you are providing something of value and they are supporting your ability to continue making it available. So far, tips is the best word I have found. I am still doing research.

The word donations makes people view you as a charity case, not someone offering something of value who somehow needs to get paid for it.
Well, Nixon doesn't appear to have been running a multi-decade pedophile sex ring, for example.

Admittedly, that's a pretty low bar.

Our use of bandwidth is growing without bounds. That means most problems will need to be decentralized, which is akin to saying we're going to need to decentralize. :)

The "Pixels" thing clearly shows that trademarking common English words is ripe for confusion. A little creativity would go a long way towards reducing confusion.
I think that's a good idea in principle, but if they're insulting everyone you don't want them to be a part of the community, and rejecting code might be your way of rejecting them from the community. I think it depends on the value of the code as well. If someone who fixed 1000 bugs probably has a little more license to be rude than someone who fixed a typo in the README.

> I'm okay with it sometimes and sometimes not. Some people are curious, while others genuinely think I must be a foreigner.

What's wrong with people genuinely thinking that you're a foreigner? Personally, I would consider it offensive if people would assume I'm not a foreigner somewhere where I looked unlike most other people. But then again, I'm from a non-English-speaking country, so by assuming someone is a foreigner, you're preemptively extending them the courtesy of communicating in English with them.
I'm not saying the site is perfect, rather, a more appropriate use of ads and how they are displayed. This is to counter the auto-playing pop-ups you can never seem to exit from and only mis-click on.
This is very cool. I've been building Testimote (https://www.testimote.com/) for the past few months. I'd love to have you look at it.
Ask HN: How well do you remember previous projects?
Four months ago I started working on a fairly complex software project. I didn't know anything about the functionality I had to code, but after two weeks of intense research I understood it well. I was very excited about the project and even when not working on it, I would constantly run it through in my head and come up with new ideas on how to make the code more clean, lightweight and efficient. When the project was around 25% finished I had to stop and work on something else.

Now, after two months I'm resuming the project and realize that the understanding I had of the functionality is completely gone. I can read though the code and see what it does, but without the understanding of the functionality I had before, it doesn't really make any sense. I also realize now that this is the case with all other projects I have been working on, at least the complex ones.

I was able to find out how things should work, wrote the code and forgot all about it. The difference between this project and previous ones is that I was able to finish them without interruption. I would then just move on to next project and never gave the previous one much thought, so I never found out that I actually forgot how it worked.

I have been excited about all the projects I have done, but still forgot how they worked after some time. This discovery has made me quite depressed, thinking that something must be wrong with my brain. I can find out how something should work and write the code, but if you ask me in two months how that something works, I have forgot all about it. What kind of existence is that?

A long time ago I saw an interview with Bill Gates where he told that he still knew the source code for Altair BASIC by heart, and that was twenty years after he wrote it.

Do any of you have the same problem?
RunAbove 'Sandbox' instances overcommit RAM and provide no SLA. Sure, you can't beat the price, but if I wasn't interested in a SLA then I'd rather pay $10 and get a Kimsufi.
The question "Where are you really from?" is equivalent to the questions "What ethnicity are you" or "What is your heritage" - the speaker is asking for the exact same information, and one must be really stupid not to get that.
This is how Meg Whitman tried to beat Jerry Brown in 2010 for California Governor. She outspent him 5 to 1¹, and her ads could be seen and heard everywhere. Brown won comfortably.

The research shows that a campaign needs enough money to get the message out to the voters. Once that is done, more money does not accomplish much.

Speak for yourself. Some of us are both.

and as computer scientists respecting other science branches is a duty. Using the expression "isomorphic" in that context is just confusing.

That's a fair point, but "context" is the key word. Using "isomorphic" incorrectly in a mathematical context would be one thing. But borrowing the word to use in a largely unrelated context seems fine to me. And it isn't like this is the first time a word has been borrowed and used to mean something "similar or related, but not quite the same". I'm pretty sure this has even happened inside other scientific disciplines, although I'll grant you that I don't have an example at my fingertips.
Thanks for letting us know! We'll take a look to see what could be going on.
A good question but keep in mind that in addition to the deletion it is a tape that is about 42 years old as well and has further degraded.
start by asking why purchases of organic food increase alongside increased education level?

Is that true even if you control for income levels? Because it's not really a major mystery why the poor uneducated classes don't buy the (typically) more expensive organic food.

(Yes, I know there are wealthy uneducated people, and poor but educated people, but wealth and education are known to be correlated)

In writing a fast Hamming distance library in Go, dropping inline popcnt64 in using cgo was far slower than good, old-fashioned lookup table method for a single byte on a Haswell mobile processor. For the uint64 case, bitfolding was still faster than popcnt64. Perhaps for the vector buffer case, popcnt64 is faster.
As I understand it, this is still 100% client-side. GraphQL is basically a new schema language for defining a web service contract. You still need a complete server-side implementation to satisfy the schema. And unless you're doing it in node, there is probably no tooling in your language.
duplicity with gpg is good idea for backup and security, but probably difficult to deal with large amount of binary data(pictures,family videos) up to, say 2TB.
I don't particularly like the way that whole thing was handled (and Coraline said she didn't feel she handled it optimally, even if she didn't apologize) but I think the concepts are still sound.

Having someone post things in a public place where they identify as a member of a group can reflect badly on the group. It is in the group's best interest to enforce that people who identify with a group on a certain medium do not say/do things that would not be allowed on official group channels.

This specific instance seems to have been intended to be interpreted differently than it was and did not need to be brought into the spotlight.

Ask HN: Where can I find decent near-eye displays for less than $200? 
Hey folks! It's my first time here, so take it easy. I'm looking for a near-eye display for a little wearables project. I'd prefer a fairly compact form-factor. I'm planning on only rigging it for one eye. Bent-prism looks especially cool, but I'll take what I can get. I'm not afraid of popping apart cases if that's what I need to do, but I'd like to keep soldering to a minimum. I've got a shoestring college student budget, so cheap is good.

Thanks in advance!
What was that about how most problems in Computer Science can be solved with an additional level of indirection? Maybe the same is true for Insider Trading? Instead of buying options on the stock of a company, use options on the stock of another company that owns options on the 1st company. Perhaps derivatives have gotten so complicated in recent years as a means of hiding insider trading? (Perhaps there are quants with Comp Sci degrees figuring out ways to make detection of insider trades an NP-Complete problem?)
> Why is it necessary for these news to be stored in some central news database

Amusingly it's because of the hedge funds. They want to have a limited list of places to check for news to make sure no one gets there ahead of them.

This is why they were so upset when the Netflix CEO made something public on Facebook -- because they weren't watching his Facebook page for news (but they sure are now!).

The SEC actually has a very limited set of places that you can release financial news because of this.
