What's the source for this?
Not sure why this is being downvoted. It's a reasonable point.
IIRC, all of the "nvram" stuff on a hackintosh actually exists as a flat config file in /Extras read by whatever bootloader you're using.
I don't think so, because it's right after "real need" which is referring to students. If it is as you suggest then it's a badly formed sentence.

Isn't /usr/local?

It did - before now /usr/local was available unprivileged with ownership.

> rather than require a hack

It only needs that now, since requirements to "fit in with OSX" have changed. That's not Homebrew's fault - they need a fast solution. Kudos in my book for responding before it's a problem.

Why does it have to be vegetarian all the way? There are some nutrients (vitamin B12, probably others) available only in animal-source protein.

It used to be that meat was luxury and eaten infrequently (once a week). Going back to a similar schedule would save water/energy without depriving people of necessary nutrients.

Everything in moderation.
Announcing Git-LFS on All VSO Git Repos
It's also pretty much exactly as described. Light, sweet crude is gone and we can't sustain low oil prices (the current dip notwithstanding). Oil costs 5X what it did in the 90s. We are forced to use dirtier, more expensive types of oil. Economies suffer as a result. Peak oil happened as advertised.

Boom. This right here. This will lower the bar-to-entry for smaller publishers, bloggers, websites to ask for support from their users.

How do algorithms run my life?
That's bullshit (about being safe every where unless doing shady business) as an example I was almost abducted while waiting for my bus in the bus terminal.

I know of people missing who's only doing was driving thru a highway to go somewhere else.
This idea that only Bad People doing Bad Things™ are in risk here is dumb.
> People like to just believe that brilliance is only possible at random, and nothing they can do will help, unless they get lucky.

On the other hand, scientists (especially observational scientists) know that there's many many many brilliant scientists in the world, and which one of us actually happens to do the right kind of scan on the right data at the right time can be down to pure, "dumb" luck.
As far as I can tell, skimmers in Germany still copy the (fallback) magnet stripe and PIN, to use those in countries that don't require EMV. It's far easier than trying to break EMV chips.
My impression, and I live near a university, is that few teachers make close to $100k per year and adjuncts make about $4k per class. On the other hand, many administrative positions pay in that range and there are lots of people engaged in administration.
Been using Tonic for a few months now and it's been very useful and incredibly easy to test things out.

Tested out an idea quickly with Twilio, demoed an API in another notebook, and prototyped a new feature from my iPad while on an airplane (that's my favorite part).

It's been really useful for me and now that I can embed it into my blog posts or in the documentation is going to be really helpful for the rest of our team. Awesome work guys!
More like 10 years. UK + Europe rollout of chip+pin/EMV + incentivised liability shift was around 2005/2006, and has reduced card fraud by around 70% in most countries. Contactless/NFC payment facilities have been pretty widespread (at least in the UK) since 2010 or so, and since the last couple of years or so are pretty much ubiquitous.

I suspect that America being so backwards in this respect has a lot to do with the power and influence wielded by corporate lobbyists in congress.
Sentencing Overhaul Proposed in Senate with Bipartisan Backing
There is a standard: http://news.stanford.edu/pr/2015/pr-worms-digest-plastics-09....

This is from RedHat. Not implemented by everyone, but modern OSes (e.g. CoreOS) seem to follow the patterns. CoreOS also do everything in their power to prevent you from mounting /usr as writeable.

Perhaps that doesn't pass your bar for 'real' though since it's not globally implemented ;)
Obnoxious changes ought to be resisted. For me as a sysadmin who doesn't need their hand held, this is just one more annoyance to deal with.
Yeah, p2p is similar to p2p lending, which is not exactly a mutual credit union. The difference is the social factor which means they'll help each other, but also that they'll trust each other.

Material insurance (where you're insuring a certain $ amount) works because people have utility curves that justify it: the utility of losing 1M is much higher than 10 the utility of losing 100k.

So for p2p, 10 people can buy just 5 insurance contracts and distribute the rest of the risk amongst themselves.
It seems to take a couple of extra seconds to process the transaction, compared to a swipe. I'm surprised that this bothers me so much. I might use Apple Pay more often if this doesn't get improved.

Well I feel like an idiot since I absolutely know that but when I was searching I was looking at Unix with no /usr and than went brain dead and thought it was showing /usr as a Linux issue with no standard for /usr. Thank you for correcting me..

Perhaps I'm missing something here, so the browser can check the integrity of the included scripts as such:

<script ... integrity="sha384-...">

How will the browser confirm that the source HTML requesting script isn't modified by the CDN?

Well known CDN services, such as CloudFlare, are known for modifying the HTML -- This is not uncommon.

How is this any better than burning + energy recuperation?
I think both of these things (history snooping, XSS), plus the Dropbox problem of injecting a hash without ever actually having the file, will need to be addressed.
Just took a quick leaf through an issue, really brilliant stuff! Thanks for pointing it out.
Karius | Menlo Park, CA | ONSITE, Full-time | Software (Full Stack)

We are a team of crazy biologists, engineers, data scientists and clinicians on a mission to change forever the way infectious diseases are diagnosed and treated. We face incredibly interesting challenges in software engineering, machine learning and molecular biology, as we push the limits of diagnostics and genomic technologies.

We're hiring software engineers across the board to help us with infrastructure, backend, frontend, and webdev. Join us on the ground-level for this exciting journey to shape our technology, product and company culture.
If you're an engineer who's willing to learn about biological problems, or have experience in next-generation sequencing, feel free to contact me directly: agibiansky@kariusdx.com

Some of the things we’re looking for in people (not all required):

• Comfortable and familiar with both backend and frontend technologies

• Able to glide across the stack as needed

• Algorithms development background and strong understanding of practical implementation issues

• Development experience on mobile, especially iOS

Potential responsibilities:

• Designing and implementing robust and scalable compute infrastructure on top of AWS

• Creating pipelines for analyzing, storing and visualizing complex genomic data.

• Creating robust and beautiful user interfaces to our customers and lab biologists.

We want you to have strong opinions -- backed by proven experience -- on how good systems should be built, as well as the ability and desire to roll up your sleeves and build them yourself. We are a lean, ‘Navy Seal’ team and looking for someone with a similar mentality to join us on our mission. We are looking for someone who is excited by the challenge of conceiving, architecting, and most importantly, implementing the infrastructure we’ll need to enable lightning fast diagnosis pipelines at scale, as well as large scale data analysis on complex genomic data.
Extraneous factors in judicial decisions (2010)
Right, it will never get to the point of an open auction. Then it altogether stops being functional (learning skills & networking) and starts being solely art (aesthetics and marketing). Currently, it's a mixture of the two, with aesthetics pulling ahead rather quickly - is what you learned or who you met in Philosophy 101 $100k more important to you today than it would have been to you 10 years ago?

There is some behind-closed-doors deal making going on, but that has always happened and will always happen.
> figuring out which university is actually the best for you

It's even further complicated by the definition of "best". What is any given student optimizing for: Lifetime earnings? Some vague notion of happiness? Culturally fitting in? Chances of getting an elite job position eventually? Not all of these are tied to economics and prices.
Exactly, people are giving up fundamental security for very little free resources and a tiny, tiny one-off performance improvement. But, what people also don't seem to care about is that these CDN's are actually created to track both users and site traffic as well. No bank uses (or should be using) third party CDN's, but other sites seem to not care.
Collective Health, ( http://collectivehealth.com/ ), San Mateo, CA (Full time, ONSITE only, VISA-depends on your situation.)

We're replacing health insurance with a system that members love. Using our SW, platform and services, an employer can pay doctors directly, saving a ton of money and making the employee experience amazing (with the testimonials to back it up).

The company is well-funded, ~two years old and growing very rapidly with massive sales traction (200x this year). We punch well above our weight-class with experienced founders, ~100 team members (~ one quarter is engineering), and paying customers.

Our tech stack is a mix of Go and Java components with Angular on the front end. We use a custom service bus to tie our SOA together, microservices style. We love Docker, CoreOS, postgres, riak, automated testing, and continuos integration.

As a company, we're strong believers in transparency, trust and balance. As an engineering team, we believe good code is easy to read and should have a short "time to understanding". We expect all of our engineers to continually teach as well as learn. We also believe that everyone should write good code, yet balance that against the need to ship.

We've got a ton of interesting problems to solve around distributed systems, data analytics and predictions, complex data modeling, ultra high-availability, security, privacy and more. We're currently looking for experienced SW engineers up and down the stack, back end, infrastructure, data, dev ops, test, generalist, etc. Our biggest short term needs are AngularJS FE and backend SW engineers in test (you will be writing cluster level end2end tests, not unit tests).

If you are non-technical, but are interested in experiencing a hyper-growth startup, we also are hiring for operations, business development and other roles as well. If you care about such things, we were recently flattered/embarrassed to be highlighted as one of fifty potential next unicorns by the nytimes: http://nyti.ms/1JLKaCT

We're super proud of the company mission, engineering culture and tech stack we've put together and would love a chance to explain it all in detail!
Also, drug buyers are customers. It would seem crazy for a dealer to endanger customers on a regular basis. So, buying drugs in a shady part of town should be (relatively) safer than most activities?
Is rust as complicated as it seems to me? I know ML derived languages well so I'm not a stranger to functional programming. And I'm a pretty competent C programmer, but it seems like Rust is about as complicated as C++, which I find offputting.

Wars are largely for profit and supported by propaganda. To be safe we must fight propaganda and unethical bankers.

Anyone advocating for mass murder forfeits their authority.

Oil and resources in general are still a big issue that could cause conflict. We should conserve and recycle much better. Mandate 1- or 2- passenger lightweight vehicles for individuals. Mandate telecommuting to some degree. Need a massive development push to replace oil-based industrial processes with bio-renewable-based processes.

Also can improve land and energy use. https://runvnc.github.io/tinyvillage
I really didn't think there was that much variety in LEO due to the cost of launching in a retrograde orbit. I thought it'd be mainly prograde plus some normal velocity due to inclination.

From my experience (used Typescript for a few projects for frontend and tried Flow but ran into bugs/missing things) both TS and Flow type system are easy to fool and in the end you are still writing javascript.

I've never heard of Elm or PureScript being used for backends, users would prefer Haskell I presume.
With elm it would require using ports for almost everything, I haven't used PureScript so I can't comment on that.

And as far as ecosystems go, I would prefer using the Python one rather than the Node one.
If you submit a request with Etag: <integrity>, the server can validate with 304, or deny with 4xx/5xx

I think this would also allow the server to "pre-validate" with HTTP2 push.

Developers and everyone else - Barcelona, Spain - Onsite - Fulltime and internship

We're Typeform, a company creating a new type of web forms. Basically, we're trying to do forms on the web more human and more like a human conversation. A picture says more than a thousand words and a website even more! So check out http://typeform.com for our standard project and also http://typeform.io for our API project, where we are also hiring!

We just got a series A funding, one of the largest in Europe! So if you're excited about making the web a better place (duh) and want to do so in a sunny country with a lovely team, don't hesitate to contact me at victor@typeform.com or go to http://typeform.com/jobs to apply directly.

Hope to speak with some smart HNers soon :)
Me, too. Found http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/10/chip-pin-vs-chip-signatur...

"Most card issuing banks and Visa don’t want PINs because the PINs can be stolen and used with the magnetic stripe data on the same cards (that also have a chip card) to withdraw cash from ATM machines. Banks eat the ATM fraud costs. This scenario has happened with the roll-out of chip cards with PIN – in Europe and in Canada."
