Sounds like the average male experience on any dating site or app.
Finding a willing partner to insert a penis into a vagina is infinitely easier.

Finding a good partner that you like and click with and who you'll actually have enjoyable, rewarding sex with is much, much harder.
Twitter has no problems with developers who want to write data into their system. It's developers who want to read data out of it they needed to kill, because the only way to make an ad-based model work was to ensure that only they could determine where people see content from Twitter.

In other words, they turned it into a Roach Motel: data checks in, but it doesn't check out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKhGHxO-woc
I agree. This is the fourth major issue. Firstly they told everyone that they're not going to fully describe updates any more. Then there was the whole telemetry thing. This was closely followed by a test update was pushed out recently as well which caused major administrative panic. Now this.

I'm not sure that firing people is the right approach but this is not acceptable.
Given that a bad Windows update now has the potential to literally render millions of systems inoperable without their users being able to do much about it, one would hope there are processes in place so no such trivial mistake by a single person could actually get as far as the production systems.
Intel is already out of the shrinking PC market. Servers are incredibly popular. Even cloud servers use Intel CPUs, and when people buy more cell phones, companies buy more servers. A strategic foothold for x86 might be out of the question now, even given Intel's deep pockets, but that doesn't mean that they can't manufacture ARMs on their 14nm process, and the investors know this.
Fellow HNers: I think falsestprophet is just trying to call her ugly. Let's not dignify this garbage with further responses.
Sorry for the late response. I'm in Boston, MA. I would definitely advise it in Boston, SF, NYC. Elsewhere, let's just say that I would also use it first, but depending on the market I would move to other resources. It's great for startups but don't go there for jobs at large companies. All in all, I would definitely use it again if I was jobless today.
Woman Starved to Death Trying to Live on Sunlight Alone
I forgot the Museo Nazionale. There are a lot of interesting things in Naples, but many of those things can be seen in other cities. My dislike of Naples is not a preconception, it is a conception borne from experiences I had in the city.

But thank you for the ad hominem that I "clearly haven't spent nearly enough time exploring".
I'm assuming you believe in the passive intercept so this will focus on the 1024-bit prime. It is crackable with the NSA's leaked budget and it fits their mission. If you had the NSA's leaked budget, you could crack this. I could crack this. The budget is not astronomical and it could be cracked by dozens of governments your country doesn't get along with.

That's why it's important to defend against it because even if you trust the NSA, the attack is equally available to Russia / China / North Korea / your country's boogeyman-of-the-day. The whole global internet is under threat along with billions of dollars of eCommerce GDP.
You should be able to verify with wireshark.

I thought I had followed most of the best practices soon after release but this tool identified a whole bunch more.
Not code, but docs, here is what I do:

Start each sentence on a new line (I have a perl script that formats text like this).

The reason is that when you version control the docs it's easier to pick out the diffs if the sentences are boundaries.

It's simple, easy, makes looking at diffs faster.
Right, especially for "advertisers" with three letter acronyms.

Is Apple moving their chip design in-house, or just CPU design? Because the article is about the LTE modem and manufacturing.
I built the content for an entire news app with just Google Sheets: http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/

I imported the list of Congressmembers from Sunlight Foundation (which is itself a spreadsheet [1]...then I wrote a script to pull campaign finance data from OpenSecrets using the unique identifiers in the Sunlight sheet [2]. I believe I used the NYT's Congress API [3] to get term data and votes-with-party percentage...though at the time I hadn't known about how to get the data from www.govtrack.us (which has bulk downloads of bill/vote data via rsync)

Then for the rest of the data (news items that featured a given Congressmember), I just researched manually and entered it in by hand into another sheet. I eventually imported everything into a database to make it a Rails app because that's the only way I knew how to build an app at the time...but the laborious part, the research and data entry, was made possible through the use of a spreadsheet...I didn't have to spend time building an admin interface that, no matter how well designed, would have almost been certainly klunkier than using Google Sheets.

The tradeoff is that you have be disciplined in your data entry process...i.e. unique identifiers have to be spelled consistently, as you don't have the ability to enforce constraints or enumeration (well, not without writing a lot of custom JS to run inside of Google Sheets) the same way you do with databases. This isn't too hard if you're working by yourself and you're proficient with keyboard shortcuts (Cmd-C, Cmd-V, Cmd-Tab, particularly)...but it's not easy to bring other people into the project, ad-hoc.

Today I would most definitely not have moved it to Rails, as it was a relatively small dataset and the app didn't need anything besides static pages. I now do almost all my medium-to-small apps in Middleman, which is a slightly more complicated version of Jekyll (basically, you can execute Erb instead of being restricted to Liquid). Usually I start off with a spreadsheet, but if the dataset is small enough, I'll record the content in YAML.

This doesn't work in a huge number of situations. It just reports failure.
Maybe she just needs fewer friends who are so judgy.

Before I got married, I generally went 2 or 3 years between sexual partners. There wasn't any particular reason. I wanted to have sex during that time, but I didn't want to put the necessary effort in to make such a thing happen. I just didn't care enough.

Much in the same way that I like watching baseball, would like to watch more baseball, but don't have baseball on television at home and don't care enough to get my ass down to the bar to watch any games, even during the playoffs.

It's okay to have sex. It's okay to not have sex.

That said, I've always found that any sort of dissatisfaction in my life has been due to me going to the same, old, wrong wells for where I thought I should find the things I wanted. If you keep doing the same thing while expecting different results... well, we know what that's about. My wife and I eventually got together after I stopped hanging out in bars so much and started making friends with other people who had more going on in their lives than hanging out in bars all the time.

I strongly support fixing the backlog of rape kit testing, and if I thought that's what he meant I wouldn't object. Perhaps he was quoted out of context. What I heard was a very old, very tired, very patriarchal attitude of "join me, fellow men, to protect the women and children!" I am not the kind of feminist who resents a door being held open for her, but this quote rubbed me the wrong way.
> If you try to make an end-run around the law, they're going to go after you ... It's not the prosecutor's or the judge's role to pass political judgement on the law.

They don't have the resources to prosecute more than a minority of violations, and their choices many times are based on politics.
>They say it was a mistake. Do you believe them?

Hanlon's Razor. Which do you consider more likely: someone screwed up (as Microsoft's updates often do) or that Microsoft deliberately started upgrading Windows machines in secret hoping that either nobody would care or that they would be okay with just upgrading a few then stopping and having to make up an excuse to cover it up? It's just absurd.
Apple have switched architectures from 68k to PowerPC32/64 to x86 32/64 to ARM. They're quite capable of switching again. Microsoft have had great trouble getting their developers to change to anything other than x86. Although MSIL gives them a route.

(Remember NT for Alpha?)
You know how people claim Bin Laden won the war on terror by making us give up civil liberties and get into multiple useless wars that cost trillions of dollars?

Facebook won the war on Twitter by making ludicrously large offers through proxy bidders on all of the well-established twitter clients. Twitter reacted by squelching third-party clients.

Twitter has never known how to innovate, but they used to be open enough to let "the crowd" do that for them. Now?
I do not have FB GPS enabled.

As a side note, the fact that Google and Microsoft want people to use long SSID names to output is rather ridiculous. That really needs to be opt-in not not opt-out for any data collection.
The article is about LTE modems. Apple could continue to use their Samsung/TSMC made ARM chips as application processors, alongside an Intel LTE modem.

The article also speculates that it would be a single die or package with an Intel-designed LTE modem and Apple-designed processor.

My impression is that Intel’s fabs don’t do that many chips for other companies, especially compared to someone like Samsung. They have been a fab for Altera even before the acquisition, and I’m sure there are a few other customers like that, but I believe the bulk of what Intel fabs produce is Intel chips, whether it’s x86 CPUs or other stuff (chipsets, wireless, networking, flash, etc).
From the original article [1]:
"If the idea of investigators poking through your DNA freaks you out, both Ancestry.com and 23andMe have options to delete your information with the sites. 23andMe says it will delete information within 30 days upon request."

One may wonder if they treat this policy much like Ashley Madison treated their removal promise.

Not to simplistically vilify an entire city but Naples is a horrible, horrible place.
>I bought a bottle of Larceny bourbon the night before in preparation and had consumed half before he arrived.

Ali Rachel Pearl, you have a drinking problem.

No, seriously: I double-dog dare you, 'Hacker, reading this, to drink half a bottle of bourbon before you reply.
That's the exact stereotype that doesn't fit this woman's story.
People who know they are being watched change their thoughts and behavior either consciously or subconsciously.

If the government had cameras inside your house set to record 24x7 would you act any differently than you do today? Are you breaking any laws inside your home, if not, what are you trying to protect yourself from by refusing access?

Have you ever avoided visiting a website, searching for information on certain subjects, or held back writing something online that you felt strongly about because you were afraid of possible repercussions in the future?

If yes, then that is an example of the government eroding our rights which are protected by the first and fourth amendments. The right to privacy online is just as important as the privacy you enjoy (take for granted?) within your own home.
For giggles, go into these top 100 apps, and see how many actually properly comply with the open source licenses of many of these libraries (IE they reproduce the proper notices, etc).

The thing I wonder about her: She did not had sex for two years, and still wants to continue taking the pill, to be available anytime to men who are to stupid to ask (or to smell), if she has the 3 days when French games are topic.

How much does it actually shut down? It seems like every time we look we're seeing more stuff that MS is collecting.
Perhaps they do, but is it really relevant?

Alcoholism is rampant in our culture, and a lot of people drink to have sex.
Since the publishers won the rights to set their own prices on Amazon, the Kindle version has started to become $2-5 MORE expensive. There's two book groups I'm in right now where the current book they're reading is more expensive for the digital copy than for a brand new paperback. I refuse to pay more. Sometimes I might be willing to pay the same, but NOT more.

In comparison, The Martian was only $2 for the Kindle version because that guy originally posted his book for only a dollar (or something), and I bought it immediately and told everyone I knew about how cheap it was (the book was good enough I'd have been happy to have paid $10 for it, though).
The article has some pretty good details, and while speculative, second sourcing LTE modems would make a lot of sense, no? The comments seem to be missing the SIP[0] aspect of modern electronic device manufacturing which Apple and others are pursuing[1]... it allows for some "strange bedfellows" and would explain a joint TSMC / Intel solution.

Birth control pills can be taken for many reasons other than actual contraception.
I guess one possible reason would be that you could target platforms where Clojure isn't a great fit, like a resource limited Raspberry Pi.
> Sex is infinitely easier for women than it is men.

I think that's very wrong if for no other reason taht if all you want is unqualified sex then you can get a prostitute of which there are many more females than males, so it should by that measure alone be easier for men.
Ugly? She's easily above average in my book.
> I quit drinking because I have a problem with alcohol.
You are right. The reason behind it is that these companies use mitochondrial DNA for their analysis, which is only passed down from mother to child. /s
There are other reasons to take the pill than just contraception. It works by giving you a shot of hormones that prevent you from having a normal fertility cycle. Not having the hassle of periods every month is a big motivator for some people.
I've used 7, 8 and 10 extensively.

Windows 8.1 with Classic Shell's start menu is the sweet spot at the moment if you ask me. It has the explorer and task manager additions that windows 8 brought in, boots faster than 7 and doesn't have as much of the UI replaced. I'm going to be honest and say that if there was a way to get rid of the charms bar and network panel, it'd be perfect.

TBH I'm going to use it until EOL in 2023 and then do something else.
Women want sex just as much as men. And they want it on the same scale as men(some people like to have sex all the time.. some less so). They make up about 50% of the population. If you are having problem finding sex with someone it's not the other genders fault; but your own.
Not that it was a good idea in the first place, but now most should know never to use these services. Too much potential for abuse.
Im definitely not the norm, but I have a modded every piece of equipment I own. if it's a black box, I don't buy it. Very vew people are looking to cash in on this niche, though.
Well I don't do casual sex, so I could be wrong, but I thought the whole point of casual sex was that it was with people you don't like enough to date. If you like them enough to date, why not just date them?
That's illegal in most of the US. (Someone asked a cop if he knew the best places to pick up hookers. He said no, he only knew the best places to get busted for it.)
Personally I hate marking up physical books, so the Kindle with its highlighting feature (that saves your selections on their server and allows exporting to text file) has been a great boon for me, and I prefer Kindle for thoughtful books now.
This argument is actually a result of men's assumption that their preference in sexual partners is reasonable whereas women are irrational/evil for what they like. Both men and women (assuming a reasonable level of attractiveness/social skills) can get laid pretty easily if they're willing to sleep with partners erstwhile considered undesirable, but when certain men consider this question, they assume that "lowering your standards" is reasonable for women but not reasonable for men.
Feel like these in no small part explain why Russians seem to have a disproportionate amount of programmers compared to all other countries outside the US.
I certainly use Excel to maintain a few wiki pages on my work intranet - generating most of it from sheets using VBA. Works pretty well.
If this can somehow preempt experimentation on animals, I'm all for it.
Inaccurate headline.
I think it's fairly common to go two years without having sex. It's just the public hype that makes us think everybody else is having sex all the time.

Doesn't it also curb your desire for sex?
Right, because pushing major updates to hundreds of millions of users, each using different hardware, with different OS versions, different level of customization on that OS and different software installed is SUCH a trivial thing to do. No room for small (repairable) errors that might affect a handful of people under certain circumstances.
I would not mess with Saint Johns wart. It will make you feel happy and cheery; but side effects are brutal. And if you participate in other drugs it might have harsh side effects.
You can have an isomorphic app while still using Clojure on the server. CLJ and CLJS can share code using cljc files.
This statement has very serious implications:

According to a trusted source in the security community, that
email account was somehow compromised in 2013. The source said
the account was full of emailed reports from a keylogging
device ...

If I understand "security community" to mean law enforcement or intelligence agencies, that means they are sharing data from surveillance of private individuals with journalists.

This suggests that assurances about the security of that data and the integrity of their processes are not reliable. Who else is given this data? You may like Krebs and think it's justified, but who decides whose private data is ok to leak? What about your private data?
Awesome! I really like that tune. Hope to see it continue.

I've had in mind an idea to make an open-source album of completely algorithmically generated music using my Python sound synthesis library. Of course I started with the drum parts, got way too deep in trying to make realistic cymbal sounds (which is very hard), and got burnt out. Typical me... Should probably pick that back up!

This article makes some valid points but the devil is usually in the details.
Based on the definition of a 'hero' in this article, it seems to be a non-management level employee.

I would argue the problem is not the 'hero' but the management and the environment surrounding said 'hero'.
The depression doesn't help, but this sounds more like stress. Don't know how much it will help, as I don't suffer from depressin, but occasionally I'll get myself into a rut like that, and I found a few things that help.

Sleep at night. No more late nights, give your brain a rest before bed. Limit your caffeine to the morning - and no naps either. Sleep a full 8 hours, and willingly go to bed early enough that you have an extra hour of leeway in the morning. You'll feel tired until your body adjusts, but it will.

Get some cardio in - go for a run, ride a bike, or swim. Do something to get your heart rate up. Your body will naturally reward you, and will help calm you down mentally. Pay attention to your body, and add more cardio as you can tolerate it.

Keep a day-to-day list of things that you have to accomplish, and update it as part of your morning routine. I would recommend the Bullet Journal method, since that's been working for me. This will help you keep on track and see what you've actually accomplished.

Break down tasks that seem too daunting into smaller portions. Something that may sound simple like deploying an application can be overwhelming until it's broken down into smaller steps. Smaller steps also lead to more frequent wins, which will act as encouragement since you'll get to see progress.

And finally, don't expect to get so many things done per day. Focus on one or two things and work on them. If you add more than that, you'll just compound your stress which will turn into a vicious cycle because you'll constantly feel behind on your work.

Good luck, you're in a spot that plenty of people have been in, including myself, but even if this isn't it, there /is/ a way out.
I'm not sure how you got from "there is greater demand for female prostitutes" to "women have a harder time getting laid".

You still have to like them enough to fuck them.

I (guy here) have had a few hookups where I didn't particularly like the person, and wasn't even that attracted to them, but the opportunity was there and I took it. I don't really regret it, but on the effort-to-reward scale, it was just barely worth it. I probably would have gotten a better value for my time going to see a movie and eating a burger.
Very cogent summary sir! I will bookmark this discussion.
A fun image-processing project marginally related to my learning theory research
I've never been able to understand whether twitter is a service for me to talk back and forth with other people or if I am supposed to just follow famous people. I also wish there was a way to see "whats going on in the world right now" that was more intuitive than trends where I feel as if you need pre-existing inside knowledge to understand why something is trending. Moments is perhaps a step in the right direction but I don't feel like it's exactly what I'm looking for.

I would also be more inclined to use it if I could include a link without having to shorten the URL, aka, let users include a link or photo without counting against 140 characters and also don't make @mentions count against the count. Or retweet titles for that matter. So it would be link + mentions + retweet text + (insert your text here 140 characters or less) It's just too difficult to say anything real and by the time I've messed around with shortening sentences and deleting punctuation to make it fit I'm pissed off and don't end up sending the tweet.

People have said all of these things before and they seem to have no interest in changing so I don't know, it might be too late for me to take a real interest in using Twitter seriously.
I don't know. It hasn't been a problem for anyone I've known.
