I did something similar once, entirely in hardware, by soldering a normally-open foot pedal switch to the keyboard's controller chip.

In most keyboards, a keypress is registered during the connection of two conductive pads on two separate membranes, each of which contain a trace back to a controller chip. You can take a keyboard apart, look at where the Ctrl key is, then visually follow the traces back to their respective pins on the chip. Soldering a switch to those two pins will register with the keyboard exactly as if that key were pressed.

All I can figure is the game is trying to find better ways to manage resources for these treatments and trials. That or it's training algorithms to identify TB? I'm really not sure how this game helps, perhaps that is by design, though.

*.example.com won't match foo.bar.example.com.

That's a technical limitation of the way name matching works (similar to DNS); not a CloudFlare restriction.

Our free Universal SSL certificate includes a wildcard (so if you sign up example.com you get *.example.com).
What would "meat" look like to you?

Suppose you were to start "a hedge fund with a university attached to it", in order to use the university's non-profit status to minimize paying taxes. What would that look like? Would you set up need blind admission, in order to provide better cover to justify the hedge fund?

The article points out that the non-profit status means that "Princeton received $105,000 in tax benefits per student. Rutgers, New Jersey’s flagship public university, got just $12,300 per student in public funding." and "Among the 60 schools Schneider and Klor de Alva analyzed, private universities with large endowments averaged $41,000 in tax subsidies, compared with $15,300 in direct funding for public flagships, $6,700 for regional state colleges, and $5,100 for community colleges."

Perhaps the extra $90K/year effective subsidy per Princeton student explains why Princeton was one of the cheapest options?

That's interesting, I had not come across CompletableFuture yet, I'll need to dig in more, but the JavaDoc looks promising (if confusing). It sounds like RxJava may also handle the backpressure issue, where you provide threadpools for the execution and handling of an observable.

I haven't played with Guava, but I have used Otto a bit, and at one point wrote my own simple observer framework (which is slightly less work than implementing a Java Observer). As I wrote in the disclaimer, there are lots of ways of doing this. =)
Emacs people...

The trouble is that most people who say this end up doing 6 things that take 200 ms each (with the keyboard) instead of 1 thing that takes 1 second (with the mouse), and feel like they're zooming along in hyperspace. You feel like a leet hacker, but are you really getting anything done more efficiently?

That's not my impression. To me, it seems that the Tea Party is mostly a reaction against Republicans that are not fiscal conservatives.

Yes, these effects turn up in poorer people not having freezers (and so needing to shop more regularly and/or not take advantage of some better value foods); washing machines (using a laundrette is expensive in time and money).

This week I've had to repair my car, computer, television and today I need to fix the boiler ... maintaining a house is hard with low income as things tend to have to wait for funds, and those things have a knock on effect.

Example: our poor neighbour needs roof work, their roof is causing our property to be wet, we have mouldy walls, peeling wallpaper. They don't have funds to get a roofer, we don't have funds to do the work for them (which would be to our benefit) nor to sue them to force them to do the work. Results - health risks, much faster property deterioration including risks of rotting wood and need to redecorate.

Social circles make a big difference too - our kids feel unhappy sometimes because their friends all have more stuff than them (for better or worse that's how they feel); on the flipside we get lots of hand-me-downs meaning we can much more afford to clothe ourselves than we otherwise would.

Right, completely forgot about this. I think CanCon is a good idea in theory, but Netflix could buy all the Little Mosque on the Prairie, Trailer Park Boys, and Corner Gas spin-offs that Canada could possibly produce, and it wouldn't make much of a dent in the amount of content that Netflix could push.

Edit: Others have pointed out Netflix doesn't fall under CRTC guidelines after "internet tax" was threatened.

I suspect it's a bit less compelling in many north american cities (price of fuel, etc.), but savings of a few thousand dollars/ year are certainly possible in some locations.
I agree that the current creative industries would probably go bankrupt. Goodbye to the "summer blockbuster", pop megastars, etc. Is that really such a vital societal good that we need to take civil and criminal action against individuals that threaten these industries?

I disagree entirely that there would be "nothing". Art and entertainment would just look different. The budgets would probably be lower, and the payment and distribution channels would be entirely different. Kickstarter/Patreon vs. Netflix/retail.

Password managers work well for one person using one account. When multiple people are in the picture, everyone has different sets of passwords that are sometimes appropriate to share and sometimes not. Account information for a netflix-like (for lack of a better descriptor) service is something you would want to share. It is consequently a huge nightmare that non-account-tied systems like popcorn time completely bypasses.
I get that some eye scientists can find this problem uninteresting and prefer not to work on it. What I don't get is the need to bury the research when some scientists are interested in getting to the bottom of this eye pain. If this research does lead to new therapies which can reduce or eliminate the eye pain reported by some patients, what will be the excuse of the doctors who tried to bury the research?

As researcher Donald Korb is quoted as saying in the article, "“When I think back about how ignorant I was seven years ago, I’m appalled."
It may be naïve but it hardly matters because copyright does not appear to be going anywhere, just more whack a mole, while anyone who is willing to put in the effort can get whatever they like.

Well, it's like saying people download stuff "from bittorrent." It's like saying you download music from TCP.

How people talk: "Where did you get this music?" "Oh, I got it from bittorrent."

People aren't nuanced enough to know the difference between an indexing service, an application, a protocol, and various implementations or instances of all combinations thereof.
Spiked does have an interesting view of the world, and many people will automatically ignore the publication. So take a pinch of salt to some of the paragraphs - but I think it's an interesting read overall.

The "crisis" is being used as a culture war, I agree and we do use it to show that we have compassion via online media. "here let me RT this photo of a dead child and show that I care". And is has become devoid of the roots of the problem by becoming less political and into something that occurred almost accidentally. I agree with this.

We also do tend to infantalise migrants. They have to be cared and coddled and be treated like children and not the adults with brains, desires, free will and their own opinions.

I disagree with the conclusion of the argument about EU leaders wanting to reduce democracy. That doesn't make sense and smacks of paranoia and the type of viewpoint of Spiked. Overall though it's a good article.

And yes, currently humans are way better than computers in the general case. I'm not disputing that.

ROFL, no, with absolutely no qualification, you flat out said:

We really need to remember that humans are atrocious at driving on average, and doing better than them is a pretty low bar.

I guess what you're saying is that computers are so bad, they still can't get over that "pretty low bar"?

If so, I suppose I agree, though I think you're dramatically underestimating just how capable human beings are.

so simply looking at some scenario where humans do better doesn't tell us anything.

Which is really strange, because that's exactly what everyone does when talking about autonomous vehicles. The discussion always surrounds current trials, where vehicles are allowed to operate in cherrypicked, near-ideal conditions: perfect, southern California climate, with minimal rain, zero snow, and perfect visibility.

So I agree, let's stop looking at just some isolated scenario. Let's focus on the general case... where computers, unfortunately, currently fail, and will likely continue to do so for a very long time (dealing with highly variable conditions likely requires major infrastructure changes to actively support autonomous vehicles, and that ain't happening any time soon).
This is simply not true. The CRTC threatened to add a tax on Netflix and similar services (to "compensate" for them not being subject to the content requirements imposed on traditional broadcasters). They backed off of that, and instead have relaxed the requirements on traditional broadcasters.

Sorry, but you can't blame the shittiness of Canadian Netflix on the CRTC.

Yet another example of regulation that sounds good in theory, actually serving to harm the industry. When canadians pretend to be americans their payments gets taxed in america, and not in canada.

Meanwhile, no uneconomic canadian content is being produced, unlike the hopes of the regulators who think their magic wand of law will change economic reality.

It never does, it only serves to hurt people.
"The budgets would probably be lower,"

This is another way of saying the salaries would be lower and there would be no benefits or permanent career path in the arts. The arts would become a hobby that people do before they get a 'real job' that is able to support them as adults.

What I don't think you understand is that those big-budget shallow pop pieces support the rest of the industry both directly and indirectly. Look at software for an example -- your little open source effort is in fact bankrolled by the open source ecosystem that is subsidized by Facebook, Google, big VC money, etc. The high salaries in tech are held up by the demand that these large houses create. When you cut the top of the pyramid off an industry, the result is recession -- an overall deflation of the rest of the labor market. Look at what happened to even unrelated industrial concerns in Detroit when the big-three auto makers left town. The entire economy of the city collapsed, not just car factories.

I'll give you a concrete example: all the cool synth and instrument gear musicians use to innovate. It's a good example because I know people who work for Moog Music and other firms in those areas. The majority of those firms' revenue comes from larger and deeper pocketed artists and other creative concerns that buy the latest-and-greatest and the big-ticket items. Kill off all that and Moog would go out of business and all the little indie bands would no longer even be able to purchase gear.

Your ability to produce an album or a movie on a Kickstarter budget is in fact subsidized indirectly by way of demand generated by the larger and deeper pocketed side of the industry and the productive economy of scale that it helps create. Industries are ecosystems and the bigger concerns within them are primary producers -- what happens to a forest if you cut down all the trees?

I agree that copyright is in need of some reform, but the radical anti-copyright and 'pirate party' position is just insanely naive and would completely destroy art, music, and literature as viable career paths for anyone. It's the kind of position you encounter from people who have zero understanding of economics and/or are really naive about human nature (a.k.a. have never met a sociopath).
Unless they fit very snugly, I don't think anything would hold up the extra pieces in the middle, especially not well enough to support a train.

Show HN: Recall – visual memory game for iOS
I just miss BBS games like LORD[0] and Trade Wars[1] in their "natural" setting.

Sure, I can play them now, but when dialing in to a BBS meant spending actual money on long distance calls, most people who played those games were pretty serious about it. Similar to how most DWANGO[2] players were also pretty solid and didn't mess around.

Another fond memory: finding a BBS list on one BBS, and then dialing into all of the new ones to see what they had to offer. Was a great way to spend the night while the parents were asleep.

> Does someone have some insight into why Netflix has time and geographic restrictions on content? I can understand, in some cases, publishers not wanting to let their movies or TV out to foreign countries

Sure, co-financing deals happen all the time. Netflix does them a lot with 'exclusive' content in the US that was actually made elsewhere.

For example, a studio in the US and a studio in the UK get together to produce a TV series. They both front up half the budget, meaning they get a full series for half the usual cost. Both studios maintain distribution rights in their respective countries.
I'm not quite as demoralized as the OP author; but I can say that now that I have seen how the sausage is made, I have a lot less respect for the institution and the process. These places are stuffed with lazy, unmotivated (or perhaps demoralized) risk-averse people[1]. Crab mentality? Check. There is also every kind of greedy shameful opportunist charlatan on the campus; they can smell money from a mile away, and they will soak it up like a sponge while they produce nothing (I'm talking mostly about gratuitous mid-level administration). Industry is just as bad, companies will engage in so-called "partnerships" which are mainly a way for the legislature to give tax money to profitable businesses, using colleges to launder it. I'm embarrassed to admit that I have seen it first hand, and could do nothing (nothing reasonable) to stop it. I can also say that it will not help your career if you refuse to participate. I can't wait for some of these people to retire or succumb to entropy, of even better if some of them are jailed. I suppose it is naive to hope that their replacements will be better.

I have a couple of words of advice for the guy though. Don't worry about the jerk who watched breaking bad in class as long as he isn't bothering anyone else. Also don't worry about the ones who sit behind and watch along. It's their prerogative if they want to pay $50 bucks to have a place to check their social media and watch reruns. They're doing a public service, subsidizing the other students' education.

Re: Online Ed. Even though it currently sucks, it's here to stay. It's in beta right now, and it may change a lot before some college actually gets it right, but it isn't going away and that's a good thing. Colleges that are followers, (ie: Blackboard customers) are going to lose big. The winners will be the ones who continue to innovate until they nail it, the rest will be decimated and or become testing centers.

As in every profession, there is a cohort who associate one's ability to find dark trousers and a collared shirt with "professionalism".

Orchestration, a cry for help
Too funny! Both Apple and Microsoft have huge PR teams. Apple's is relentlessly effective at creating product awe; Microsoft's not so much. Both Jobs and Gates lived the lives they wanted and talked to the media as they saw fit. The results speak for themselves.

If you look at billionaires' standing in the course of American history -- going back to John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford -- they always end up with a tangled blend of admiration and loathing. In the end, PR has surprisingly little impact. There's always plenty of achievement to satisfy the fans; plenty of villainy to justify the critics.

It's stored locally, and does not currently sync. I'm actively trying to figure out sync for multiple devices, but at best that'll be months away (if I do it, I want to do it right. I have nightmares about losing people's data).
The main problem with that standard, focusing on copies, is that when a work isn't fixed in a physical medium (like an optical disk), everything is a copy. The internet just copies, into your system memory, onto your storage device.

(When you play a DVD, you copy it into memory. But at that moment you give it to someone else, it's the physical thing.)

This all means that the spirit and the mechanical effect of the laws are different, now that we use the internet for everything.

The TSA has resulted in millions in stolen items, and not caught a single "terrorist". Its procedures are a joke, it is irradiating everyone, or if they opt out, molesting them, which is a crime in all 50 states... not to mention every single TSA search is a violation of USC 18-242.

The existence of this organization proves that both Bush and Obama and the Democrats and Republican parties are corrupt and irrational... and more interested in their own power than in benefiting the country.
