In my world, cancer is simply a cell, or group of cells, which lives inside the human body, that the human body treats as part of itself. But these cells are more interested in their own survival than the survival of the body. It's when a group of cells "dissent", so to speak, and start prioritizing themselves over the rest of the cells in the body.

There are programs like this. Not necessarily sharing economy, because chronically homeless need much more than just a place to rest their head. They need critical social care, job training (and placement), often psychiatric help, et cetera. This is the kind of thing that organizations like the Doe Fund here in NYC do.

Unless you're talking about trying to short-circuit the downward spiral and help keep people from becoming chronically homeless.

I've been knocking an idea for a mutual aid organization / app, but haven't really nailed anything down yet.

'Cause the truth is, even if you're employed with good health insurance, quality psychiatric/psychological care is really fucking expensive.
Testing might be less of a common practice for quick shell scripts, but it can be done and there's nothing particularly difficult about it, compared to other languages. Especially with "pure" scripts that don't revolve around system effects... which is the case with other scripting languages too.

As for static typing, agreed, though considering that shell is basically a scriptable FFI, real static typing would probably add a lot of complexity? Attempts at "typed shell" don't seem to go over well, maybe due to "worse is better" dynamics.

While the nomination of George Tsunis as ambassador to Norway shows how little the US administration cares about its representation in Norway, the justification for appointing fundraisers like Tsunis as ambassadors is that there are senior diplomats in the diplomatic corps who actually run the embassy.

If you want to say this is "junior diplomats" doing their job, then what's the point of having an embassy with no senior diplomats in the loop?

Can't we just decouple flash from the browser and sandbox it heavily to play these games? Most of these don't need interaction with the page that they are embedded on. Sure these sites have to shift their profile somewhat, they are already on a sinking ship though.
That's what I did. And dating here is definately easier than (random medium sized American city). Of course, that might just come from being in a large metropolitan city. Silicon Valley might be the same - I've never lived there - but the male/female ratios indicate the odds aren't in my favor.
> Why do women use Tinder when they could be using OkCupid? It's literally 25-28% women and 72-75% men in the Bay Area. These are the numbers I got from scraping OkC profiles that had words in them.

What makes you think that (i)women don't frequently use both, if they're interested in online dating and (ii)the Tinder profiles aren't at least as skewed male-wards?

The simple fact is that men are generally more proactive in looking for dates/hookups and so are more likely to go to the effort of registering for a website to find members of the opposite sex to meet, so basically every dating website not created exclusively for lesbians is majority male. Also, as others have pointed out, Tinder's selling point is that women get to choose which proactive men actually get to talk to them, which saves the rudeness of having to ignore/block lots of men rather keener on the idea of an instant relationship than they are.

Erm, can I use reports only Android <4.4 and Opera Mini as not supporting it, and in both those cases Flash won't work either.

The problem is that they try to fully integrate Quickmatch with the existing system. That means that swiping right on someone in Quickmatch is the same as liking them on their profile page. And as a paying user, I can see who likes me without having to like them back. So the anonymity of showing interest that is not reciprocated is completely lost. If Tinder did this they'd lose most of their users. And frankly, adding this on top of an existing platform as an opt-in is just hopeless - it just exacerbates the problem of too much configuration to get started. Not to mention focus (or even space) in the UI - Tinder works because swiping and chatting are the only two things you can do. This would only ever work as a new app.
I was speaking in general for everyone. I can deal with the issues myself.

It's technically possible to sneak it in on the right.

For any non-English speakers, there's a subtle joke here: really you should say "because of <noun>" or "because <noun verb>" (or any grammatically valid clause), so in this case it ought to be "because of language evolution" or "because language evolves".

The "because <noun>" construct is a fairly recent thing, I think. The Atlantic "goes long" on it here: http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/11/englis...

Also keep in mind they tested all extensions with their default filter lists configuration while it reads like EasyList and EasyPrivacy would be efficient enough. As applying filter rules is basically the main work of those extensions and most extensions can use the same lists, they should have set all to the same lists where possible.

I've always found it hard to grasp why humans place such high value in substances such as diamond and gold. I understand that they are very durable as opposed to other materials, but their inherent value is something i don't quite understand. Diamonds and gold of course have their industrial applications, but apart from that i really just don't get it.

Something also tells me that if this guy wasn't absolutely stinking rich but was just a regular grumpy 70-something, there would be significantly fewer people fawning over his egotistical temperament.

In its centre was what looked like a pale twig from a cherry-blossom tree, scattered with creamy droplets of melting snow—tiny diamond beads pierced with silvery pins, gentle, serene and exquisite. It was like a Japanese painting, and it moved me almost to tears.

Something tells me i would find it very hard to get along with these people. Anyway, to each their own i guess, it just seems sad that people get so caught up in their own bubbles to the exclusion of things "that matter". Here,
i guess, lies the thorny issue: who is to say that there is an absolute measure of "mattering". Personally, i would say it's probably of more importance to work to feed the world's hungry, but i imagine that when one is among an audience who would nonchalantly drop a few hundred thousands on a Shiny Thing, there is bound to be disagreement on that. I admit though that i have no more right than they to decide what constitutes a valid cause, so i am trying to avoid judging. It just seems so, i don't know... wasteful.

Sorry for the late response, I think this comment by babatong has the gist of what I don't like about Discourse : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10131932

Everything is "fluid" and flat (as in hierarchy flat). I like the more traditional hierarchical type of forum.

On top of that, with Discourse, you're never too sure if/when there is a new message and if you didn't miss anything.
Everyone has left this thread so this comes late, but I wish the existence of Sundarlal's report and what it has to say is made more available and accessible.

Understanding does not come by hiding ugly thruths. In India its a common belief (among Hindus) that Hindus have never done anyone any wrong and were mind their own business peacefully an then all shit happened to them. False historical constructs are dangerous. Study of clear and open history backed by grassroots records is super important.

Yeah, but there is one practical application, if we ever conquer the stars: if we send colonists so far away that they eventually cross the boundary of our observable universe, we care a great deal about their continued survival, even though we will never observe it directly.

Other unobservable stuff may or may not be incredibly important. (Though at a first glance, QM interpretation isn't.)
I was using Wuala but they are closing it down later this year, starting from now. They recommend switching to Tresorit, Swiss based with end to end encryption and no keys held on the server (lose your password at your peril). Any recommendations for cloud storage that is secure and has a Linux GUI? Tresorit is not open source either as far as I can tell from the website.
That's a stupid excuse, they should put the flag to flip that bit in the kernel-hacking menu of menuconfig.

Explore Africa
Now, after much experimenting and development, we’re excited to announce the official launch of the Explore Africa project!
It has never been easier for anyone, anywhere, to learn about and share the useful and beautiful things about African countries. And importantly, Explore Africa gives citizens a space to collaboratively share the local African knowledge that is open, free and non-commercial.
What started as an experiment in The Giant of Africa, Nigeria in 2013 has truly become an African project. As of today, Explore Africa is one of Africa’s open knowledge-sharing platform, while we launch Explore Nigeria and Explore Gambia. Additional Explores are being incubated, for launch in 2015 with the help and supports of citizens, in Ghana and Kenya.
We try to build stuff that matters and changes the way people live, work, think, travel, solve problems and make informed decisions. This means keeping things as practical, as useful, and as relevant as possible. But we can’t do it alone. We need your help to understand local requirements, provide solutions, and advocate for our strategies.
We couldn't be more excited about opening up Explore Africa to the entire world today, as we hope that you'll join us! To Explore Africa. ‪#‎ExploreAfrica‬ ‪#‎Exfrica‬
Very fun :-) thank you
That doesn't matter. Women still got to pick who was allowed to send messages to them.
Yes, it's not the best situation but is a lot better than it was before. Originally there were about 10 Rails 1 / 2 applications on a pair of machines running Ubuntu 6 and Ruby 1.8.4, with most services open to the world. These machines were being retired so the apps need to be moved off - a few apps were shutdown as they were no longer used, and the remaining each got their own VMs.

The apps were upgraded where possible but most of them had dependencies that would only run on Ruby 1.8 and have long since been abandoned. We considered rewriting them, but they are only used internally and are most likely going to be shutdown in the next year or so. At least the OS doesn't have any known security issues and is now properly behind a firewall, so that's something.

One of the issues with Ruby 1.8 is that it only compiles against OpenSSL 0.9.x. To compile it from scratch means you need to downgrade that (and a few other deps), which is about as painful as you can imagine. CentOS 5.5 still comes with that and is supported until 2017, where as you would need Ubuntu 8 or lower. I was thinking of creating a LTS version of Ruby 1.8 (a la Rails LTS), but I don't think the need is really there. Businesses who are running Ruby 1.8 have either weighed the risks or simply don't care :/

I guess we're going to debate the merits of statements in a thinly-veiled bit of PR now? There's almost no news about this company until about a month ago (http://www.networkworld.com/article/2955017/security/endpoin...).

They recently hired a new PR company (http://www.mgpr.info/) who's been spamming articles to Reuters on SentinelOne's behalf (https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=site:reuters.com+sentin...), and then reaching out to hacks to write submarine articles (http://paulgraham.com/submarine.html) about the death of anti-virus -- which just happens to be the marketing lede of SentinelOne's endpoint protection product.

Then they landed a big contract with Netflix and got a sucker at Forbes to write some PR like it was news, and now it's been picked up by HN and being discussed as though it had some substance.
How can I netflix unblocking for a specific country
Guys I would like to netflix unblocking for a specific country. Though I am following the below site for this http://www.vpncomparison.org/country/usa. Is this site helpful for unblocking netflix?

Waiting for your reply here.
Something that I found rather interesting but still don't quite understand is the effect of the Uncertainty Principle in a vacuum. Apparently the Uncertainty Principle affects not only particles, but fields as well (which in my mind is possibly due to the mass/energy equivalence?). This manifests as disturbances, which is what causes these virtual particles to "appear" in a vacuum.
Shell scripts are normally based on scraping the output of other commands via regexs. Properly made Python or Ruby scripts are not.

I second that this is pretty annoying. The problem is that Ubuntu's grub.cfg is configured to wait forever until the user manually chooses a new boot option if the last booting failed. However, sometimes a temporary error can happen during the booting process, and this will make the server hang after the next reboot. This is probably not what server users want.

In addition, I think this behavior is not ideal for desktop users either, because (1) spurious errors can also happen in desktop and in that case waiting a few seconds is better than waiting indefinitely, and (2) it is not uncommon to use Wake-on-LAN nowadays.

But I'm not sure this problem is unique to Ubuntu, as Ubuntu shares much of its codebase with Debian. Does anybody know this is also problematic in other distributions?

Why are wanting a LTR and wanting sex on the first date incompatible?
Shell scripts have a lot of implicit dependencies.

They string together other programs with widely differing interfaces. For example BSD sed and GNU sed work very differently, at least when you accidentally use a non-standard option.

Ruby, JavaScript, Perl, Python, Java, C++ all have a stable base vocabulary (core library).

bash doesn't.
Having spent a fair bit of time in Peru and Bolivia, I am 100% convinced that consumers of cocaine, in the form of an illicit street drug, are missing the majority of the experience of consuming the Coca leaf as it's consumed locally. Unfortunately I simply lack the vocabulary describe what exactly is missing and how the experience of chewing the Coca leaf is superior... but I've personally found the difference to be profound.

My experiences traveling through the region have convinced me that attempts to eradicate the coca plant and practice of chewing coca leaves are fundamentally misguided and unethical.

Cocaine is problem primarily in the advanced capitalist economies and it is solely within these nations where those problems can be solved... though it's obvious to anyone who is being intellectually honest that the strategies of the DEA and the drug war are abysmal failures and so must be either substantially reformed or abandoned altogether.

I disagree that OKCupid (and many similar sites) focus on useless statistics. I can tell more about what someone is like by their interests and their writing than by their face. Of course meeting in person is important, but it's also time consuming, and that's better spent on someone you might actually have something in common, than on some random person with a nice face.

TL;DR: It was stressing to have to deal with all the illegal or harmful (for victims) stuff posted on 4chan which people then got angry over that it got removed. Some hackers were looking for his personal information and posting it if they found. The site is also expensive with no profit model. And finally, if something actually did happen to him, there was nobody who could take over. This move put other people in charge. The fappening and gamergate incidents were the straw that broke the camel's back after the most stressful month yet.
> Embrace, extend, extinguish?

Only the 3rd properly applies to Chrome and Flash. Chrome didn't embrace an API they could extend; they shipped a plugin providing an ~ABI of a foreign/closed API then still had to make atomic decisions like this one.

Christopher Poole is a modern day Warhol. Not in the sense that he is an artist himself, but because he has been so important and influential for modern culture. Nearly everything that you identify today as 'internet culture' originated on 4Chan. And as this culture is quickly becoming mainstream culture now.

He needs more recognition for this. And for all the vile hatred on 4Chan, I also know it is a big source of support for a lot of people otherwise left behind by the mainstream
Traditional dating sites can definitely be horrible for women. I think it'd help if you could autoblock anyone you haven't contacted. Or separate between a spam box and one for messages you're actually interested in.
Ok, first of all, the article says that women are forced to look for sex on dating apps, because the ratio of desirable men to desirable women is small.

This is not the case, as there are dating apps where the ratio of desirable men to desirable women is large and where LTR is emphasized compared to instant sex.

Women aren't using these sites/apps.

So either the assumptions about women are wrong, or the argument that women are in this terrible situation where there are not enough educated men on dating sites looking for a LTR and where women are forced to have sex to possibly get to a relationship is incorrect.
Taking Flash away is always a good new for privacy and security :)
Anyway, is not sufficient.

Why would google take a good but not sufficient approach?

IMO because of marketing issues: get some hackers and tech savvy people to evangelize that they are improving their privacy issues. I suppose google doesn't need flash/super cookies, "so lets take them out, we look good, and we still have the same entropy to get to know the user"
The other big problem about having company values is that people might expect you to live up to them. I once took a job at company largely because I really liked their espoused "values" and "mission statement" and I "believed" in the same thing they claimed to believe in. Compared to the last place I worked it all sounded like a massive breath of fresh air.

Anyway didn't take me too long to realize that all those claimed values where just empty words and the new place was exactly like the old place, and that certainly wasn't good for my moral.
The spin in this article is pretty interesting. 4chan has been a cesspool for years. The stuff highlighted in the article, the leaking nude photos of celeb, and harrasing some game developers, is really mild compared to all the nasty stuff that happened before, like someone posting photos of girl they just murdered, or getting scores of people to actually commit suicide, or leaking nude photos of random women, or harassing some new target every other day. The article calls these "the good times", though.

If leaking nudes of celebs and gamergate was really what made moot give up on 4chan, it would be much more interesting to read the longer story, what changed in him throughout the years that made it no longer acceptable for him to be the admin of the place that hasn't really changed during his tenure.

I was referring to the fact that there was no attempt to generalize or say "on average".

The people I was responding to were saying "Women use Tinder for sex" (implying everyone), and "Everyone knows what Tinder is. It's a hookup app." (implying everyone)

My comment was to point out that you can't say things like this without implying that 100% of people feel this way, which is not the case.
