I wish some way existed to prevent clickjacking (e.g. via invisible iframe) without actually banning frames. There are useful applications for framing another site that can't be achieved by any other means, apart from writing a browser extension. And framing a site without making it invisible seems like unfortunate collateral damage.

Ask HN: Moving to Philadelphia
I've been living in the Boston area for 10 years, and have really enjoyed working in the tech scene here but I'm strongly considering a move to the Philly area for family reasons. Can anyone give me any tips or info on Philadelphia? What's the tech scene like? What are the big companies? Where do people live? What do people do for fun?
I've been vaping for over 2 years now. I transitioned for maybe a week or two, then went on a vacation where I deliberately left the cigarettes behind. When I came back I lit up a cigarette and put it out immediately -- it tasted awful in comparison to the e-cigarette and gave me nausea.

I still love the smell of a cigarette but have zero desire to light one up. I'm not sure what would happen if I tried to stop vaping, whether I would go through the nausea/vomiting to start smoking tobacco again. (I know it sounds crazy, but nicotine is a powerful drug.)

I mix my own juice and build coils, and it costs about 80 cents a day instead of the $3 I would pay for my previous half-pack of cigarettes a day.
this resonates with me... I found myself in a series of bad incidents that pushed me towards escaping with alcohol. then due to my compulsive nature, it spun out of control and I ended up in rehab etc and took 2 years to pull back out. when it all started I had run out of money, was extremely lonely (needed therapy but didn't even know how to get it then), and had lost my job etc. it caused me to self-destruct at age 29 because my vision for life suddenly seemed lost to me. now I'm 32 with s great job, sober, stable, and life is great.
CSP does exactly that; you can just ban inline scripts entirely.
You are 100% right, but that's not an issue with academic departments, as the article suggest, that's a feature. Academic research and science are one thing and developing apps is another, very distinct profession.

I'm finishing a PhD in aerospace engineering, but that doesn't mean I'm any good at welding 7075 aluminium in an aircraft shop, nor is this an issue with my department.

>This is the world p-value assumes and is therefore the only one worth considering in relation to my comment.

I'm not sure if that was clear enough. In that world, no one has ever had a hypothesis that was correct. The whole field is useless, measuring things that are wrong and getting the occasional false positive.

You can talk about that world if you want, but it has no connection to reality. It's not p-values that assume that world, it's your misunderstanding of p-values.

>If an experiment is not well-formed then of course you won't see reproduction at the expected rate. This is what I'm referring to when I say that the low reproduction rate points to deep, fundamental flaws in the experiments.

Experiments don't have to have enormous sample sizes to be well-formed. That's the whole point of having a cutoff value.

It's not like an experiment that reproduces 80% of the time disproves the result the rest of the time, it just doesn't quite reach .05 on those trials

>the reproduction rate of a well-formed experiment should very closely track 1 - p

I'm suspicious of this. I don't have time to do the math right now, but an experiment that averages .01 might clear a .05 hurdle far more than 99% of the time, and would definitely be well-formed. And if you set a hurdle at .01 it would only clear it half the time, but it would still be well-formed.
What Our Digital Footprint Says About Us
That's what they taught me in Bavaria during the 80ies. It changes over time as well as (how could it not) from state to state. The tiny Saarland could introduce right to left, just to piss off everybody else (and save hugely on schools, because all parents would find ways to register across the border)

Given the amount of typing that today's children will do I think it's a very good idea to teach them something that stands a chance of not being replaced by something more primitive as soon as they leave school (or much earlier, as in the case of my age group). The days of artfully written letters written on expensive paper won't come back any time soon.
Ask HN: Would a framework for the business model canvas be useful?
Ever since I read this tweet[0] by Naval Ravikant of AngelList:

> Write your next business plan in code.

...I've dreamed of making a framework for the business model side of a small business or startup. Basically, take the business model canvas[1] and encode it into a web framework. Similar to how Rails enforces MVC patterns, this framework would coerce your business logic into the predefined models of the business model canvas.

I'm not sure what the implementation would actually look like, because each section of the canvas can be very unique to a business, but I think it can be done. For example, the "Key Activities" section can be implemented with a cron scheduler of some kind, and you can imagine other code-based implementations for the other sections.

So, I ask those business founders with more experience than I: would a framework like this be useful? Or are the activities of a mid-sized startup too variable for this kind of structure?

If this gets a lot of positive feedback, I'll start to work on it concurrently with a business idea I'm testing now. If anyone is willing to work on it with me, I'm a Ruby/Python/Clojure developer[2].

It should be food for thought as we discuss this article that the author is the son of a famous computer scientist who is a professor of computer science at Yale. I think the nature of a university education and what a university education is for was probably dinner-table conversation at his home as he was growing up.
...and jumping on someone's unlocked computer without authorization is different but OK? right...here's your sign
Java maps its threads to native OS threads one-to-one. So if you execute in a thread in Java then jump to C you'll block that particular thread. Erlang implementas N:M concurrency where N Erlang processes map to M schedulers (a scheduler here is a separate OS thread ). N is usually greater than M. So you might have N=100K processes mapping to M=16 threads. If one of those processes makes a call to a C module it might block large (say 10k) number of other processes from executing.

When content was distributed via physical good, the manufacture served as the "value appraiser" to invest in the cost of manufacture. This surely functioned as the price discovery but not ideal as it acts on behalf of consumers.

When the distribution cost down to zero, the value appropriator has now changed to advertiser or marketing campaign organization, but in online world is mostly viral though mostly still driven by underground campaign, have replaced the physical media manufacture/distributor and become the new price appraiser.
(See my comment below for context, currently undergoing chemo). Just wanted to comment that I'm a huge fan of Genentech. They developed Ritiximab (Rituxin) which I'm currently getting treated with. It's a monoclonal antibody as you mention and it's improved outcomes for my condition (DLBCL Non Hodgkins Lymphoma) by around 15%. It's given in combination with traditional 'CHOP' chemo and is called R-CHOP. It's also insanely expensive - about $5K per dose and I get 6 doses over 18 weeks.

I found my local doc was awesome when I got a second opinion from Mass General and then moved treatment to a major regional center in my local town. They moved very quickly and were cooperative. So didn't have a bad experience there personally, but YMMV.

I think you're missing the point of the contest. This is not about cryptography. The key generation is just an excuse. The fact that you can detect a connection with DevTools is irrelevant.

This is a common misunderstanding. 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".

And yeah, I do think that ADD has some beneficial effects as well. Syphilis can sometimes attack the nervous system in ways that create permanent elevated mood. I don't think that makes syphilis "not a disease".

That's what the medics really do. Get good medics and thrust them, but don't thrust them blindly. Read a lot to be able to understand the medics and the tradeoff they are making. [They are always making tradeoff.] Ask a lot of questions, dumb questions, intelligent questions, lots of questions. [But remember to be polite asking.]

Don't believe everything you read, it's full of snake oil written by crackpots and overhyped press releases written by universities.

I'll start with Wikipedia and MedlinePlus, to get a high level overview.

The interesting part is cities where traffic is bad like Honolulu and Boston are doing massive changes to their infrastructure. It's just the changes are primarily to try to squeeze more cars in. Boston's Big Dig was a non-minor, twenty year, 22 billion dollar project.

Essentially, many places are spending massive amounts of money and looking to do big changes already. It's just these projects almost universally are focused on being an continuation of the existing car-based infrastructure – just with more lanes to fit more cars.

Urban sprawl with existing infrastructure can be a tough one to solve. I hope to see more communities make more innovative choices in the future.

It's your ad preferences. If they can't slot a valuable ad for your position, they go on to remnant networks.

Install something like uBlock or uMatrix (or both) and then put them in permissive mode. You'll see about 48 domains connected in uBlock.

That's a lot of 3rd party domains to deliver content; digging down, about 2 are related to the content, and the remainder are ad networks and social garbage.

All to serve about 20k of text. As many others have noted, there's something really wrong with the web. It's not just their brand, it's everybody's.

There are plenty of sites out there for finding remote work.

Part time, and remote will be harder but not impossible.

There are two big reasons why you don't see more remote and more part time. Training and collaboration.

Lets assume that your talking about programing/engineering and that your a senior developer. You already know how to do your job (write code) but what you don't understand yet is the domain your about to go to work in. There is a fixed cost where your "ramping up", learning about how the business works, the nomenclature used to describe behavior, and functionality. Unless you have been in an industry for a while, this will all be new to you. During your first few weeks/months the company is paying a tax for you to learn, not only their environment but the particulars of what they do.

Once your past that first stage and part of the team, what happens then? If your not present (your day off) and someone needs advice (integration, production support ... ) on something you have built what do they do? Are they going to read through your code (Yes they can, most people don't know how or don't have the patience), are they going to wait or be stuck till you get back? People being "present" at the same time and in the same location makes these sort of issues less likely, it keeps productivity high.

This work does exist. The trick is to be a solid developer AND a domain expert. Your then going to have a set of skills that lets you target specific companies who will need your skill set, and be able to set your terms. At that point however, your not going to be seeking "part time" you going to be charging flat rates per week for much larger sums of money. The pay won't be "steady" but the peeks and valleys will provide you more than your currently asking for.

Gee, what a great idea! In fact, a slightly improved reactor was operating in the other Fukushima plant, and all its reactors were shut down safely after being hit by the same Tsunami.

More modern designs are safer still. For example, there are designs that do not require external power for a shutdown at all.

Hypotheses can never be proven to be correct. I don't want to be in any world where it is believed that a hypothesis is or could be correct.

This is a fundamental tenant of science. All that can be done is to reject hypotheses.

You (along with Gwern) have now claimed that I don't understand p-values, but you present no alternative understanding. The reason, of course, is that when you look at the mathematics behind p-value, it is obvious that it is exactly as I claim.

Edit to address your edit:

>I'm suspicious of this. I don't have time to do the math right now, but an experiment that averages .01 might clear a .05 hurdle far more than 99% of the time, and would definitely be well-formed. And if you set a hurdle at .01 it would only clear it half the time, but it would still be well-formed.

You are right that you need to be careful here about what you are comparing across instances. There will be variability since you are only sampling a distribution (most likely at a very low rate) and not observing the entire distribution (which, for continuous distributions, is impossible).
I have another story of LADWP. About 3-5 years ago, I read in LA Times the story of union members of LADWP filling the LA City Hall Council Meeting demanding pay raise. City was resisting it.

The very next day (or week), power to the LAPD HQ and LA City Hall Building were cut for a few hours (or a day?). No other area of LA had power outage.

I spent a few minutes searching for the 2 stories but couldn't quite find it. But it did happen.
Why is there not a trend to work less instead of taking more money?

I've wondered that myself now that I'm a father of a 2.5 year old. I would love to take a 20% paycut to work 4 days instead of 5. I'd take an even bigger paycut to work 100% remote because I could leave Los Angeles, and live somewhere significantly cheaper, like Colorado or Oregon and still keep reasonable hours. If I lived internationally, things get more complicated with timezones and infrastructure, but the cost of living gets much cheaper compared to salary in the US.

15+ years sober here, mostly through some recovery programs and a lot of AA.

Neither the "disease" model (which has connotations of communicability) nor the AA "allergy" model (there's something wrong with my body) make total sense. Rather than try to fit other terms into a procrustean bed, I just call it addiction. Everyone is different, but there are a lot of commonalities.

Given the amount of denial that is present in most cases of addiction, trying to fit it into other categories can make more room for rationalization and avoidance. "I clearly don't have a disease, I never caught it from anyone," someone might say, or "It's not an allergy, I don't break out in hives." And delay treatment that much longer.

I'm a firm believer in getting whatever help works for you. If that's Rational Recovery, great. If that means an AA meeting every day, great. Just get help. Get it earlier than you think you need it. Tell your boss (s/he probably knows something is up anyway, just not what). Drop in on a meeting [yeah, AA, I know]. Tell a friend. Tell your doctor. Make a call and get into treatment. Do something, because until you do that, nothing is going to change.
