The climate change deniers may be costing the US a chance to be a center an enormous future industry, clean tech.

The article says BMW's move is in anticipation of stricter environmental laws in the EU. The situation could give Europe or certain regions there a 'first-mover' advantage, if it hasn't already.

Once the 'Silicon Valley' or valleys of clean tech are established, where all the talent, capital, services and infrastructure are and where business is done over a beer/wine/etc, it's not going to suddenly shift to the US when Americans catch up on climate change issues, especially if Europe offers a large 'single market' for this technology. China could also be building an insurmountable lead.
Surely the "addiction is a disease" mindset is a defensive response to the (especially in America) mindset that addiction is a moral failing. I.e. one crackpot opinion begets another.

The truth about 'addiction' is complex and different for each individual but, given that no one is born an addict, at heart the concept describes how many people have learnt to cope with their individual circumstances. Disease and morality are both inadequate to discuss this.
Reading this the idea of "modelling" from gestalt therapy[1] came to mind. I think it's quite practical to create an internal model of another person, which can be refined over time through observation. Fringe practices like "tulpamancy" involve actually "running" such a construct, and I think, whatever the truth behind the claims of tulpamancers, there is a lot still unknown about this (see also multiple personality, or dissociative identity disorder, and of course "hearing voices" in schizophrenia).

Edit: [1] Actually it is a "neuro-linguistic programming" concept, which makes it a bit less credible. Still, the concept is clear.

There's attractive urban living in the Midwest (and the South) too. Coast = urban kewl stuff, midwest = suburban lame stuff, that's a huge simplification. I'd actually say the opposite. If you desire to own an `urban` home, you have a much better shot at it in the Midwest, than you would have at the coasts. Average dev income will push you to the burbs on the coasts, but not necessarily in the Midwest.

But pay is lower in fly-over country, certainly.
Different philosophy, partly motivated by the consideration that with a package manager the barrier to installing it really low. Personally I prefer to have as little installed as possible in the base system so that I can pick and choose what I want on top. Metapackages that install a large selection of stuff or distros that ship a ton of stuff by default drive me crazy. I don't mind it so much on a Mac as that's kind of part of the whole philosophy of OS X, but Linux (and friends) are in a different niche for me.

I'm sure some desktop distros do ship xclip by default though. Knowing the typical variety of Linux distros I expect there's probably even an Xclipbuntu, dedicated solely to showing off the latest xclip release (the users of which have a decade long feud with Xseldora).
I won't drive out of my way to save a few percentage points on my purchase. This saves me time. I also signed up for google fiber, thinking I would spend less time waiting for wired.com to download their bloated pages.
But the importance of a p-value is showing when it's not the null hypothesis.

The only time you get 95% reproduction is a result that says the null hypothesis is true.

You're entirely right about that specific case.

But this only happens when nothing correlates. (And almost no science has been done, because most things in fact don't correlate.)

A result that disagrees with the null hypothesis at .05 does not imply any particular chance of another result that also disagrees with the null hypothesis at .05

If there is no correlation, then replication will happen 5% of the time. If there is correlation, it will be somewhere over 5%, but no particular value.

When people talk about reproduction, they talk about that chance. It will only be 95% by coincidence.
Has there been any research on the effectiveness of jury instructions? It seems that telling people to discard evidence (in a Bayesian sense) is simply an invalid idea. People have internal biases and you can't make them compensate by telling them to.

Jumping on an unlocked computer is more of an "equal opportunity" thing. Only a handful of people in a company (IT) have the ability to remotely manage employees workstations. That creates an imbalance of power that needs to be respected. Using it for pranks against people who don't have that power isn't really fair.

That said, I don't really find the whole "recursihoffing unlocked laptops" thing all that funny either, but it doesn't bother me as much.

Why is this listed on Hacker News. It does not appear to be related to technology or startups.

My issue with this article is:
This article attempts to paint the individual web cam-ers as people that are hurt. They are people who are attempting to engage in a business that is extremely cut-throat, and that is on low margins. (Also, happens to be "socially unacceptable" in many cultures.. that's another story, but it's used to abuse the reader) Additionally these people cut out larger businesses whom are highly regulated for a few more dollars.

I wish that the article would have reported on the people who did this, some of the problems they faced, and left it at that. I'm tried of seeing stories that paints these people as "we need to fix this ill".
It's a full-time job to keep up with the industry, let alone change it with research. I think a little lag is OK so long as it doesn't teach BAD practice (e.g. thank god academia has moved from CVS to git).

Is it really? Bankrate.com's cost-of-living calculator tells me the equivalent income in San Francisco if you're moving from Columbus, Ohio earning $110K is $213K. That would be an approximate salary of a senior developer. And these are jobs where 40 hrs is the norm, in addition to medical, dental, disability, life insurance, 401k match, and bonus.
>"if you ask people to psychoanalyze themselves, ask them why their brain is doing this; or you ask them to report on mental processes, why did you make this decision versus that one—psychologists find over and over again that basically what we’re doing in those situations is we’re telling stories. We’re making sense of ourselves without having actual access to how our brains are causing those decisions."

This quote is so telling in how little people know about themselves. When you analyze yourself, you're telling a story, not conducting a scientific analysis. Unlike science, stories can be fictional. This is why it's so easy for people to lie to themselves and paint a rational world around what is essentially mob mentality.

It's also why I repeatedly see good, moral people do great evil and be completely unaware of it. They justified their actions to themselves with a story... a fictional story.

Andrew (N8VEM) and I got permission from Steve Ciarcia to scan and post it online, as it's long out of print but still in demand.

I'm sorry but what? Can a union of a blind person and a person with sight communicate "redness" to the blind person such that the both have the exact same representation of red inside their head?

If you have anything on this, I would love to read it.

US treasury interest rates in your terminal
Interesting article, but I am having a hard time understanding how the title connects. And I'm actually not sure what the main thesis here is either - a little-known description of those who end up in porn nowadays? I'm not sure what I was supposed to take away.
The blockade would have been effective, assuming the Allied Nations were able to keep the ships and planes on station. The effect on the Japanese from mines and closing their harbours would have been horrendous.

Note that bombing inflicted far worse damage on Tokyo than Hiroshima. It just took a few hundred planes and a few trips rather than one plane and one trip. The bomb was efficient, but firebombing was just as "spectacular" when the conditions were right. Granted, the bomb sent a horrible and significant message, but there were many examples of the horror of large-scale strategic bombing in WW II.

If the land invasion of Japan was attempted rather than blockade, the casualties would have been almost unimaginable. There would have been no quarter offered or taken and no noncombatants. One estimate had the US Marine Corps dying on the first day or two of invasion to secure the beach (3 divisions each landing). They were already considering tactical nuclear weapons. If the Kamikazes were more successful than anticipated, I imagine the stigma of chemical weapons would be insufficient to prevent their use.

The Allies had to end matters before the home population tired of war. The Japanese knew and planned on this.
I think they've always done it if you're not based in the UK (so if your TV licence isn't directly funding them).
tl;dr XML still sucks, but XML parsing in Go is surprisingly enjoyable.
CS and SD aren't the same subject, though it would be great if CS degrees had a "intro to software development" class required in the first year or two.

It would teach things such things as the SDLC, waterfall/agile, a dvcs, code maintainability, a documentation system, working with others, writing tests, qa, project management, etc, etc.
For MSc graduate, it's correct.

Yes, I know. But telling someone to "chill out" is a jab and superfluous.

People do this kind of thing in online comments all the time, to make the other person look bad and rub in a little extra insult. Any one comment isn't much, of course, but they compound into a degraded discourse, and all of it goes against the civility we try to practice here.
Have you see FiraCode? https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode

I find the idea interesting and would love to see more in this direction. It especially makes sense for languages with more obscure operators that are mimicking traditionally handwritten mathematical symbols.

That being said, I tried using FiraCode for a week and switched back. Some of the conventional common operators have become so ubiquitous and second nature to me that its difficult to adjust (especially the comparison operators). I'm still looking forward to more extended ligature fonts though.
Maybe somehow put the key in the url (via pushState) and then hotlink an offsite <img> logo, grabbing the key via the referer header at the offsite httpd?

Or somehow trigger a DNS lookup with the key as part of the domain, and grab it at the offsite DNS server?

Or maybe something with RTCPeerConnection, wasn't there some drama about how that's leaking IP adresses without showing up in the devtools?
Years ago at my old office we had a G4 tower that no one used. I set up SSH on it so I could use it for long running tasks without slowing down my local machine.

A coworker was on it doing the rare at the time Safari testing - usually only on client request. I sshed into it and ran 'say "Help, I'm stuck in the computer"'. My coworker was very very confused and I was cackling to myself. He still talks about it to this day.
Because many of the topics covered in a typical CS curriculum have direct applicability in industry. For instance, many courses in the area of software engineering make it a goal to try to simulate the "real life" conditions of a software project (e.g. working in a team, having stakeholders with different needs). So it would be hypocritical to then claim to not pay attention to what industry says it needs.

Of course, this should not mean that whatever industry asks for is law - sometimes they simply get it wrong (it is usually not very difficult to realize when), which is exactly the point where universities can help by not educating students to repeat the same mistakes. Something like saving companies from themselves, I guess.
When I talked to my doctor friends, they all mention using this.

I used it when my mom was in the hospital and it was very useful. I was able to get access at the local university library and then export all the useful articles to PDF.

Of course not. He doesn't need some computer science majors. He has a little app which allows you to search your mailbox.[1] Well, actually he doesn't have an app. The site says "Coming next spring". You can "preorder" the app. So he's pre-announced a product to be written by people he hasn't hired yet.

Not really retirement, but 200k in equity payout for a senior engineer isn't exactly rare.

I'd call 200k a "decent enough exit to pad a good nest-egg". It's not fantastic, it's not going to create a nest-egg, but it will "pad" a good nest-egg.

> Why is this listed on Hacker News. It does not appear to be related to technology or startups.

HN is not exclusively about technology or startups. From the Guidelines:

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find
interesting. That includes more than hacking and
startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence,
the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's
intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime,
or sports, unless they're evidence of some
interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls
or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd
cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

The fact that you went on to read the article, and evidently put some thought into analyzing its content, indicates that it at least aroused your intellectual curiosity. Assuming you are a "good hacker", that would be a point of evidence toward the article being on-topic.

Note that for many things, they arguably fall under both on-topic and off-topic based on the guidelines, so could probably go either way.

You're making a distinction that I've never heard anyone make before, and I don't think you're making a convincing argument for it now.
> Tech such as this has been tried on-and-off by various parties since the 80's, with many variations on geometry, working fluid, actuation and tracking.

And if all those folks didn't succeed, isn't that more reason to give Airlight a patent? Before some competitor realizes that Airlight has fixed the thing everyone else couldn't, then shamelessly copies them?
> My experience with ADD is that it's not just "doesn't pay attention to what someone else wants"; it's "I can't pay attention to what I want to pay attention to".

These articles always bring out a bunch of people saying basically "suck it up you loser".

It's really irritating that someone talking about their mental health is dismissed because they're rich.
Your description of the IBM 1401 startup sequence is absolutely right. I'll fill in some details since it's a strange process. There's no operating system at all: pressing the load button on the card reader causes one card to be read into memory and the first instruction executed. The first few cards in a program deck have special loader initialization code. As you say, the first instruction is "write two word marks", making the next two instructions executable. The next few instructions are more "write two word marks" instructions, until there enough word marks in place to run a few other instructions, which clear memory and load the next card.

The cards for the program to be executed have program code on the left half and loader code on the right half. That is, each card has code to move its program code into the right place in memory, add necessary word marks, and then load the next card. This code is running from the reader buffer (locations 1 through 80). The final card jumps to the location in memory to start execution.

TL;DR: Since the IBM 1401 doesn't have an operating system, when loading a program from cards, each card also contains the code to load itself into memory.

And yes, 4K of memory is 4000 characters, not 4096, because it's a decimal machine, not a binary machine.
I'm inclined to recommend against using `ssh-agent`. I suggest using ProxyCommand instead and I, myself, use that probably 50 times a day every day.

I have dozens of servers running Linux and FreeBSD that, naturally, have `sshd` enabled for remote access. Even though (almost) all of my servers have public IP addresses, there are only three of them accessible via SSH from "the world" -- two OpenBSD hosts and one RHEL host.

The two OpenBSD machines are "jumpboxes": their only purpose is to serve as a gateway into the network and to all of the other servers. Instead of SSH'ing into one of them and then SSH'ing out to the actual machine I want to log into, I make heavy use of "ProxyCommand" in my $HOME/.ssh/config so that I can just run, e.g. "ssh mx-out". An SSH connection to one of the jumpboxes is established and, through that, a connection to the actual server is then made. Since I use keys for authentication, I don't have to enter my password or passphrase twice (or even once) and the "magic" is completely transparent to the user once it's initially set up.

The RHEL host (which I've hardened as much as possible) is for web hosting customers to connect to in order to upload/download files into their web space. It is not a web server, itself, but it is an NFS client so that customers don't need to log into the actual web servers themselves.

Seems like a semantic technicality. A disease is a disease. An addiction is an addiction. The benefit in calling it a disease is in getting people to change their perspectives and precognitions about it - to see it as something at least partly out of the victim's control to be treated with compassion.

Can you explain what you mean by the experience of true union? Do you mean perfect communication through words and actions, or some connection on a higher level, perhaps spiritual or drug-induced?

Also, even if, for certain pairs or small groups of people, it is possible to achieve a truly deep level of understanding, in general the principle is still sound and arguably the most important application is to those whose universes are the most foreign to yours.
