What makes it hard is that the "frontend development" space is always rapidly changing.

For instance you can still make sites that are based on static HTML and CSS and that have no Javascript or you can put a few little bits of Javascript in, or you can use a large number of techniques and frameworks to build something that is more like a mobile app than a web page, be it AngularJS or GWT, Enscripten, etc.

First there were the libraries like prototype and JQuery that would smooth over browser incompatibilities, but then the browsers got more compatible. For a long time there was a consensus that a macro language and calculations in CSS would make things worse. Then Blueprint came out and people were excited about that. Then people got sick of all web pages looking the same, and then people realized that the grid was the bad part of Blueprint, it was the other stuff that was good, but then you need a macro languages like LESS, and...

Thus you really have to set some goals for which technologies you want to master, because if you want to master them all you are going to be doing nothing but front-end development for a few years and then you will continuously be scrambling to keep up.
Well, take vaccinations for example. Would you better leave it to the people to decide? I'm sure half won't take them.
EDIT: I do understand the corporate influence, but we could find a way to build unbiased scientific institutions if with collective global will.
Sure, it will eventually decline. But when you see the sharp decline in electricity produced from nuclear power plants, it feels like a missed opportunity to lower CO2 emissions faster.

I'm only looking at this from a greenhouse gases point of view. Maybe German nuclear power plants are particularly unsafe and it's better to wind them down quickly? I doubt it, which is why I lean towards an economical (more so than financial) decision.

Google still takes ads from iYogi. If you call iYogi they will try to scam you, over and over again. This has been going on for years. Has no one complained to Google about this? What about Apple, aren't they concerned about their brand being tarnished over unwitting seniors typing "Apple tech support" into their browsers and running into a tech support scam?

Ask HN: How to convert a WebRTC stream to RTMP?
Hello,

We are developing a streaming web application that needs to broadcast a WebRTC stream to ~5K people.

But we have found that WebRTC has a theoretical limitation of 1000 users per stream. So, alone it will not work for our purpose.

We can either:
A) Implement a solution that can increase WebRTC's number of viewers limitation. Do you know any solution for this?
B) Use a transcoder to transcode WebRTC to RTMP, and then use a service such as UStream to broadcast to the audience. Do you know any WebRTC to RTMP transcoder service?

Thanks
I think it varies person to person and very much like you stated it comes from their naivety.
When the the practical implementation of a law does not align with the meaning of the words in the law, we all lose.

This is doubly so with a proposed law, where the implementation can easily change to reflect what the words do mean.
In the US, the Federal Gov't mostly follows the money. And actually we can leave people's lives up to them to lead. Whether you think their decisions are right or wrong, based on intuition, religion, science, etc., the populace aren't children and the gov't aren't parents. Freedom is the right to be wrong.
I tried it for all of a week in the past. It's the top one I'm looking at moving to, but honestly the reviews that have been done by users of both are lacking on information, so I don't know what I'm giving up.
Homogenization just mixes the fat it into the milk. What do you do with it?
Yes. The closest analogy is a distributed hash join, though it is more general than just equi-joins. In a distributed hash join, there is a hashing stage that reorganizes the data to improve locality and selectivity before the actual join stage. For topological representations, there is information theoretic locality inherent in the sharding organization but the underlying "shape" of two tables may look very different such that there is no direct mapping of records between the two. Fortunately, there is a trivially constructible and very fast transform function on shard definition (which is just a constraint) that allows it to directly map to constraints (shards) in different data models without moving any data. In effect, it is as though the table is already been hash distributed for whatever join you want to run.

The capability of these generalized parallel ad hoc join algorithms where demonstrated on a supercomputer circa 2009.
My knee-jerk reaction was to balk to a 207 digit number system, but after digesting it, I realized that this isn't a terrible idea. 207 is little much, but longer length numbers in an age where everything can be scanned, pasted, mailed, etc. is actually smart.
An interesting discussion: http://www.justinhughes.net/IPSC2009/pdf/Saw-Cheng.pdf

According to that paper, such language isn't new. Australia (Copyright Act 1968), Singapore (Copyright Act 1987), and the US (Copyright Act 1976 as amended by No Electronic Theft Act 1997) provide criminal penalties for prejudicial infringements even though they may not result in financial gain or commercial advantage.

Compare the UK (CDPA 1988) and the EU (IPRED2 2005), which generally exempt non-commercial infringements from criminal liability.
I think Trudeau's response is better since the full, final text of the agreement hasn't been released, and I'm sure Harper isn't sharing it with them.
It's the opposite. The resources being spent on microsecond speed race is a form of a tax imposed on HFT by society. If all big HFT firms spent on getting faster, they don't benefit in expectation, since all the competitors will be equally fast, but society benefits because that spending goes to wider economy outside HFT

Problem is that patents are not used the way they were intended to. A patent was supposed to be licensable so that other companies could still use the said technology if they so wished. But in practice what patents do is lock the market and prevent the exploitation of said technologies until they expire, which in turn slow down innovation significantly.

And don't even get me started on all the "obvious" patents out there, or the one that clearly are no invention because prior art actually exists - but then they take years to be invalidated, if ever. It is just an enormous debt on Society as a whole.

I don't understand why Western Union et al aren't being held accountable, at the very least in the form of a class action lawsuit. It seems that either the money transmitters aren't obeying the "Know Your Customer" laws (are they somehow exempt?), or they are knowingly allowing people to be victims of fraud to increase their profit.

Making it much harder to transfer money anonymously seems both helpful in these cases, and lucrative for lawyers.
Not that surprising tbh, Satiation isn't directly dependent on calories consumed but on various markers such as chewing, pressure on stomach wall and certain chemical responses.

Junkfood short circuits most of these, it's incredibly calorie dense and is easy to eat quickly since it requires little chewing, by the time your body signals satiation you can easily consume 1300 calories or more.

I've been on a calories restriced diet for the last 4 months (1500 or less a day) and I've eaten a few times at McDonalds, I just get a quarter pounder (higher meat to carb ratio, meat increases satiety more than carbs per gram) and a diet coke and then eat is in small bites and chew it thoroughly, by the time I'm done I feel the same satiation as I would have done bolting down a big mac and fries previously.

So far I'm down 45lbs with another 10 or so to go.

You could easily store KeePass database files on a network share. Create one file per access group, for instance. KeePass works pretty well with multiple database files (it has a simple tabbed interface when you do so and you can do things like color code the icons in the tabs). You can use network share permissions to make the database files read-only to particular users and KeePass will do the right thing with read-only files (mark it as read-only in the UI and disallow editing actions).
TL;DR: Market makers put a buy and a sell offer, separated by one or more cents, on every trade; when someone big enough picks one side, they cancel the other side and re-issue new buy and sell offers with new goal-posts.

What do you mean 'so much trouble'? We're constantly getting healthier, living longer lives, hurting each other lessand doing better by just about all metrics. The only thing that seems to be going downhill is our mental health, and I would argue that's simply because we have more diagnosis recorded, rather than those things simply not existing in the past.

Could we be getting better at a faster rate, as a species? Most likely, but it's not like we've halted progress or something.
Congratulations, Gabriel on all the success you've had so far with DDG and Traction. I was an early user of DDG and although I didn't stick around, I truly do admire you for what you stand for and your courage and perseverance to push through it.

I do believe that it is critical that we do have choices. Choices that can free us from a single establishment. So, thank you!
Ask HN: Which password manager do you recommend?
I've been putting off the move to a password manager for far too long now, instead using a base password with a pseudo hash function on the domain name that I evaluate in my head and which determines certain characters in the password. (This means someone would need at least 3 or 4 password leaks for different sites to figure out the hash function, or a hash collision). With today's LastPass news, I'm interested in what password manager you recommend.

I'm particularly interested in ones that work on Linux, and I want to be able to use my YubiKey to secure it (I have a Neo, and two U2F ones on the way from the GitHub special). Obviously, they should also be well-maintained.
Mobile search rules the world
Is it fair to say that anatomically modern humans happened after leaving Africa? Sure some more changes happened; change continued in Africa as well. And the Neanderthal 2-6% is probably not that significant.

Another interpretation is, moving to Northern climates with reduced sunlight resulted in decreased melanin (to ensure sufficient vitamin D) which allowed more ultraviolet damage thus increased mutations (blue eyes, red hair and so on). In this view, Africa retains 'modern human anatomy'; the rest of the world is a sort of Galapagos Bird situation.
It's because of all the 'empty calories'.

> Of course there would. We had drug development before we had patents.

And moreover, there are other ways to protect your invention without using patents - such as trade secrets, manufacturing expertise, exclusive supplier agreements, and of course, ONGOING innovation (instead of inventing one thing and getting a rent out of it for 20 years).
Strange...I do 6-8 mile runs 3 times a week, so I'm by no means a high-mileage runner. I find that I get a high around on around 1/4 of my runs, usually around the 4-5 mile mark.

It starts out with a cool rush of euphoria felt in the head and behind the eyes, which quickly spreads to the extremities and blankets any perpetual pain/discomfort, replacing it with a weightlessness, like every tendon and muscle in your body has been renewed. It's a pure, cool, iron-like high that allows me to cut 30-60 seconds off the next 1-2 miles once it kicks in.

I don't think it's a distance thing - it's more of a pushing yourself to the point where your brain feels the need to intervene. I expect that if I had a disciplined training schedule and ran long distances regularly, my brain would get used to the idea of running and stop getting me high.

I also lift weights 3 times a week, but I never experience a high while deadlifting, bench pressing, running sleds, etc. I'm fairly certain it has to be biking/running where you have no rest in between sets in order for your brain to flip out and turn on whatever chemical switch it is that produces the effect.
What you are talking about are precisely the aggregate benefits to the markets I mentioned, liquidity and easy risk management.

That the markets provide those behaviors is what makes them valuable but the actual trades that make up those aggregates, your selling of shares when you need a car to someone else is zero sum. Either you would make more by holding or you wouldn't.

That something other than that is more important to you indicates that you are in the market for a middle man to bridge that time gap and buy some of the risk from you. Your time horizon is from share purchase to "need money for car", not from share purchase to "optimal selling point". The service you take advantage of when you bridge that gap is provided by the aggregate work of many zero sum interactions between speculative participants like market makers and "investors" like your self.

There are some Android apps that crowd-sources block lists for these types of calls (whenever I google the number they turn-up as known telemarketers) but I don't believe the security model on the iPhone permits intercepting and blocking these calls.

It is already "dead". Of course the existing projects will remain, but create one on a framework you know will not evolve ever again soon doesn't sound like a right move.

Granted given the speed of change in front end whatever you chose will probably disappear in a few years. :/

Usually governments make worse decisions than common folks - in about every area (economics, science, medicine, education). I can hardly think of any area where Governments actually did not divert funds resulting in a bad consequence.

Lessons on living from a kitten in Turkey: warning, not for the faint of heart
That might be partly explained by it, my gym sessions/interval runs don't last more than 30-35 minutes.

But I also do plenty of stuff in mountains - hikes, alpinism, ski touring, climbing etc. These are 3-10 hours activities (apart from short&intense burst while climbing), similar to slow running (sometimes actually pretty intense). These could be classified as some sort of "high", but more in a sense of euphory, joy of being in nature, seeing some amazing places, random meetings with animals etc. But nothing comparable to other "high" states from drugs. Just 2 very different worlds, both amazing but for different reasons.
> Freedom is the right to be wrong.

Exactly, that's why Freedom is to be left alone to individuals so that they can choose for themselves what best fits their lifestyle.

Governments have roles to play, but telling people what to do and not to do at a private level is certainly not one of them.
The whole TPP should be dumped for good. Make sure to put pressure on your representatives. Copyright term increase is enough of a reason. And of course the usual anti-circumvention garbage, which forbids breaking DRM even for non infringing purposes.

> Each Party shall provide that a violation of a measure implementing this paragraph is independent of any infringement that might occur under the Party’s law on copyright and related rights.

(See Article QQ.G.10: {Technological Protection Measures}). Same usual nasty stuff which mirrors DMCA-1201.

The worst part is, that this stuff in TPP will make it much harder to repeal DMCA-1201 or to decrease copyright term in US, since DRM lobby will scream "We can't violate our international obligations!" (of course omitting the fact that they imposed those obligations on everyone without any democratic process). It's really sick that there exists this alternative legislative power which has no oversight and therefore is simply prone to corruption.
> We're constantly getting healthier, living longer lives, hurting each other lessand doing better by just about all metrics.

Totally agree. But are those improvements due to the decisions of central planners?

> What do you mean 'so much trouble'?

Things that come to mind: abysmal outcomes for many in the public school system; skyrocketing prices in healthcare; urban families almost completely destroyed by paternalistic welfare programs; massive suffering and death caused by the warfare state; shredding of the Bill of Rights by the TSA; economic calamity caused by Fed-fueled booms and busts; etc.

Look at the places with the worst outcomes and you will find the most government involvement.
Did Myriad really claim to own the gene itself as their invention? If so, there are a lot of people who'd probably like to sue them for infecting them with that invention.

It seems to me that all Myriad could possibly patent, is a unique detection method for that gene. But that wouldn't stop anyone from using a different detection method.

But what interests me more about this case is that the article expects an Australian court decision to be taken as global jurisprudence. What's the logic behind that? And is that really where we're headed?
> Also, I'm not familiar with the W3C process

Then don't pull random statements out of your ass about it? What are accepted as standards spend most of their life as W3C working drafts. The W3C doesn't finalize a draft until the feature is obsolete, more or less.

WebWorkers, for example, is still a working draft. So is Web Storage.

The only thing that has ever mattered is browser support, not W3C specs.
