Ask HN: Any methods to detect Safari content blockers, yet?
I'm just curious and I'd like to experiment with the detection of content blocking in iOS 9.
The aim would be showing something like a very small popup like The Guardian does, with a sentence like this: "Looks like you're blocking ads. We're cool with it, but here's how you can support us in other ways".
Has anybody found a way yet? With desktop adblocker that block any js with the word "ads" in the filename it's much easier...

A C based rtos inherits all the difficulties present in C. Ideally Rust is interesting, to me, as an ideal language to write the RTOS itself in. Once you get through the low level details, writing a (simple) schedule system is not hard and would be more flexible due to the better types safety in Rust. Also C is difficult for DSLs, Rust should be better. That's the dream at least.
I found this strange too. The few parties I go to are generally for birthdays and are held at parks or at inexpensive restaurants (kid's birthdays), or at someone's house with cheap snacks (chips, cake, wings, burgers, etc.) if they want to have alcohol.

The notion of guests turning up their noses at your generic beer and non-gourmet appetizers suggests to me that the author needs to hang out with a better class of folks.

>Teen prosecuted as adult for having naked images – of himself

The prosecutor is prosecuting on behalf of the very person who is also supposedly the perpetrator. Do you seriously think our founding fathers intended for "The People" v. Copening to be a replacement for Copening v. Copening?
You are right; they are opposites in this way.

However, they share the thread of being implementations of unsustainable zero tolerance.
I forget which speed reading book it was, but it helped me read a lot faster. Here's some of the key points I remember:

- Broaden your focus. You don't read each letter individually, you recognize the word as a whole. Likewise, you can, with practice, train yourself to focus on more words at a time. Try looking at one word and reading the words on either side, then practice reading half a line of a book at a time, then 1 line at a time. Think of your eyes as sponges soaking up a group of words at a time.

- Don't vocalize the words. If you have trouble with this, read so slowly that your brain gives up reading words "aloud" in your head.

- Focus on the chapter titles, first / last paragraphs, and any key info (e.g. bold sentences). Read those parts several times and really focus on them. This is where most of the important information lies. You will likely forget the rest of the chapter no matter how fast/slow you read it.

- Don't worry if you miss some parts from reading too quickly. Don't go back to re-read anything. Getting the general theme is more important that every single sentence.

- Retention is actually higher if you read faster, because your brain can put the big picture together faster. If you don't believe that, try reading a book 1 sentence a day.

As for memorizing things for school, look into Memory Palaces, Person-Action-Object, and Mnemonics. Visualizing things helps. Associate things you want to memorize with the absurd and unusual to make it stick out. It also helps to have a dirty mind when making associations. Our brains are wired to prioritize sex, so sexual scenarios are more memorable.
This idea of returning things you found does not exist everywhere. I know places where if you found something you would look up and thank the heavens for looking out for you today. You would not think that someone lost something, but rather that someone upstairs brought you a gift.
Growing up in Russia too, I call bullshit. That's just not possible. You learnt Lenin, then you learnt Gagarin.

A better example is the 6809. LDA #$FF takes two bytes and two cycles. LDX #$FFFF takes three bytes and three cycles. "Isn't that crazy?" Sigh.
I don't try to memorize syntax on purpose - it happens automatically when you code a lot in one programming language.

Less of a supply/demand microeconomic reason, more of a willingness-to-pay rationale (i.e. if you are at risk of going to jail, you'll pay ANYTHING to avoid it, and lawyers charge accordingly).
Probably the right answer, but it's like having to harvest the rubber for your tires to take a driving test.
Not really. Most people have pretty inflexible schedules, which dictates when they are home and when they are sleeping, etc. and thus when they are using electricity.
From an employer's perspective, what an employee is paid depends on the total cost of employing that person, which includes the employer's half of the social security and Medicare tax. It's reasonable to state that also as a tax that the employee pays.

From your link:

The current tax rate for Social Security is 6.2% for the employer and 6.2% for the employee, or 12.4% total. The current rate for Medicare is 1.45% for the employer and 1.45% for the employee, or 2.9% total.

How would this have helped? In the event of an AWS outage, you have all-hands of one of the biggest tech companies in the world working to fix your infrastructure. This outage lasted a few hours, wouldn't it take you that long to switch providers anyway? If you don't abdicate responsibility for maintaining the infrastructure, you lose a lot of the operational benefits of using a cloud service...in general, I think it makes a lot more sense to embrace whatever cloud provider you're using (provided you made a good choice) so that you can focus your efforts on your product and not on maintaining infrastructure.
Tereshkova was a forced achievement of the Soviet space program. She was indeed the first woman in space, but the flight went so infamously bad that it prompted Korolev to put in place a ban on any further women cosmonauts - ban that hold while he was alive and then almost some 20 years after.

I imagine there's also a risk:reward calculation. As much as it would suck to plead this out, the penalty is 30 hours of community service and not carrying a phone for a year. The alternative carries a penalty of registering as a sex offender, the legal equivalent of a scarlet letter. That can have serious repercussions on your adult life.

So, the calculus is: swallow some pride and be mildly inconvenienced for a year, or fight for justice and hope you don't ruin your life in the process.

Cheeses, food, and expensive alcohol? Sounds like a gathering I'd attend now that I'm in my 30s...in my 20s it was all bottom-shelf liquor and terrible beer (and pretty much no food unless someone thought they were being classy by buying a shrimp ring)
Two wrongs don't make a right?

You act as though you could apply some simple legal test to this essentially ethical question. I think it's very hard to make an ethical case for sharing photos someone made (with an extremely high likelihood of) not knowing they would be public for entertainment purposes.

Private photos are private photos, even if made by a thief and they don't suddenly become public because the thief accidentally shares them with someone. When I accidentally share photos with someone I sure hope they would tell me about it and not share them with the world.

Because we haven't actively made their life an absurd joke. While there is a lot to be said against internet mobs, it's a pretty mild step to make sure that the individuals involved in these travesties are identified, covered by the press, and made immortal in the internet halls of shame.

Story I expected based on headline and the outraged HN comments: "guy takes nude selfies and is charged with crime."

Actual story "guy is charged with having nude images of underage girlfriend on his phone, prosecutors inflate charges to force settlement by reaching to include his own nude photos".

Still stupid. But way less black and white.
I just look at stuff like this as a reminder that there's a hard road ahead of us if we want the US to be the land of the free again.
I'm one of the guys who can pattern match. But for me this works only for novels and other "light" literature where remembering details of the story is not very important.

If I really want to learn/understand something it's much better to read the text in my head, so I have the opportunity to think more about what I just read. Or I pause after each paragraph.

I'll second this, though I don't believe everyone learns this way. At work and previously at school I write notes all the time, not so I can look at them later, but simply so I can recall them better. Something about writing with pen and paper helps to remember it better in the future.

Ask HN: How to save old stories on HN?
I often bookmark a few HN articles I want to read that I don't have time to read at the time.

When I finally get around to reading them, it may be 30+ days later. I've found that HN doesn't allow old articles to be saved (upvoted).

I can understand they don't want someone going through and up or downvoting old articles; however, the fact that the upvote button doubles as "saved stories" creates a problem for me, as I now want to save that article, but have no way to do so.

So my option is to either bookmark the article, or email it to myself, or something along those lines.

Long ago, I'd use a service such as del.icio.us for saving articles, but no longer have that option.

Anyone else experience the same issue and have a decent solution?
Hey HN! I worked on the "tech surge" to save healthcare.gov, and as many of you have noticed, this report gets everything backwards. A 96-hour training course would not have saved healthcare.gov, and you can't fix bureaucracy with more bureaucracy.

healthcare.gov has also given rise to new initiatives to fix the way the government writes software. Within the government, there is the US Digital Service, 18F, and the Presidential Innovation Fellows:

I aggre, the monk has clearly "chosen" to share them to the writer.

The monk has a number of options:

1. Reset the iPod(which he cant do cause it requires an appleId password),

2. Dont take pictures with the Ipod.

3. Disable icloud sync.(i think one can do that with out authentication)

4. Dont use the Ipod.

5. Use it and share the pictures.

He has clearly "chosen" nr 5.

I know this is controversial but in my mind if you fuck up it is up to you to "fix" it.

Taxes affect the whole market; the landlord's car payments just affect that landlord.

Similar apartments in your area are similarly priced. That's because they're obeying supply and demand. If your landlord's car payments go up and she raises the rent to make up the difference, the similar apartment down the street--owned by someone who's car payments haven't changed--suddenly looks more attractive so you move. So she can't raise the rents like that because the market has no reason to move as a whole. Her car payments don't alter the supply or demand for apartments in your area.

But if the taxes she has to pay go up, they go up for all the landlords in your area. That impacts the cost of providing an apartment and removes apartments that are marginally profitable from the market; in economic terms it's an inward shift in the supply curve. So the price for apartments in your area goes up.

As I described above: "the multiplication operation is performed by modulating the analog input signal going through the floating gate transistor by the charge on the floating gate (weight)." The circuit is the single transistor in this case.

Cellular neural networks were proposed long ago, for example, and they're digital

What is so inherently digital about cellular networks? Can you provide a link to an implementation of a cellular net in digital hardware? How the weights are stored? Where the multiplication happens?

Aren't there lawyers without cost? (German: Pflichtverteidiger - maybe: assigned counsel). How is a 16 year old supposed to pay for a lawyer?
I trick myself into thinking I am inventing the syntax, along with the justifications for the form of the syntax. It is much easier to remember what you have created than remembering something someone else has created.
There are a couple of problems with pinning it down. First, how much "literary license" is the author using to describe the bottle? It might be much more plain and undistinguished than described. Second, it could have been any number of brands, as funky bottles and labels were not uncommon. Hell, even the syrup for our pancakes came in a glass bottle shaped like a woman.

That said, if I had to guess I'd offer two candidates that stand out in my head. First is Farah Fawcett Shampoo. Full color picture of the woman, though the bottle shape was forgettable. Second is Body on Tap: "made with 33% real beer", or something like that. I mention it only because the bottle was cone-shaped ("artistically designed"?), and if the claim is true maybe the beer adds extra loose electrons, I dunno. Or it very well could have been any number of shampoos that showed up briefly, didn't sell, and was yanked so fast even us olde parts who were there don't remember them.

EDIT: or maybe I should read the whole article, as it mentions at the end that it's still sold, which eliminates my two candidates.
> Note also that this "budding free society" was responsible for horrible atrocities against the native population until fairly recent times.

No you haven't, and the hyperbole doesn't help. It's quite possible the specification of all the legislation is actually logically unsolveable since it was created by thousands of different people over the course of decades with very little coordination. When the time comes to build a unified system it's no wonder the job is very very difficult.
I use pinboard.in for probably what you used to use delicious for.

It's a one time fee of about $9 (haven't looked recently).

I'll bookmark an article there, or they also have a read later feature. If the HN discussion is relevant enough to why I bookmarked the article, I'll paste the HN link in to the bookmark note field.

If you pay a small yearly recurring fee to pinboard, then when you bookmark a page, they'll also save the contents of the page, in case the page disappears.
The article could be re-titled "Maybe a slave AI for your brain will make you feel better about your brain being as insignificant as an ant's to AIs." Except for the fact that upbeat titles get more hits.

I use languages which have as little syntax as possible (Lisp family, Clojure+ClojureScript recently), and then I make heavy use of what my editor (Emacs) tells me when I start typing a function name.

Also, I use Dash.app (highly recommended if you're on a Mac).

Basically, I remember very, very little. In fact, the older I get, the less syntax and function names I can remember. This is not something I'm worried about, though — this gets replaced with better intuition and systems thinking.

I can't upvote this enough. Its the same as learning to read or write or play a musical instrument.

You can try to memorize the syntax but that won't give you much understanding on why things are that way leading to brittle knowledge that quickly goes away.

Practice, on the other hand, directly develops the understanding and familiarity with the subject as you get to see hands-on how things work and when you make mistakes you learn why things are the way they are.

I'm pretty sure almost nobody thinks consciously of how to work their mouth muscles in order to talk, they just think of the words. That's what practice gets you.
