This is not about using whatsapp as an SSH client, I presented the whole thing wrong.
My main concern, is, when you have programs that run in the real world, they sometimes break without you even being able to fix the screwups.
I use whatsapp just to remotely run predefined functions, no SSH involved.

I agree that allowing SSH would be a real issue, and better use an SSH client for that purpose.

But then, let me just clarify one thing for the people thinking that "Oh Whatsapp is owned by facebook it's evil". Do you really think that app on your Android device or your iPhone device will be foolproof secure? Both are owned by Google and Apple, there are some drawbacks. But tinkering about what if and what not is not my business. It does the job and if someone really wants to hack me, it's not that SSH app on my phone that will prevent him or her.

Programs break, like humans, this is just a way of giving a quick aspirine shot when I am not in front of my computer, which happens seldomly, but still.

I like the fact that when I wake up, i can message my server "start_tests with some new parameter" and he does the job while I enjoy my coffee. Cronjobs have to be defined beforehand, this is meant to be dynamic.

Don't allow shell access if you don't want.
Route53 is awesome, but yes it is missing at least two things a lot of people crave:

* IPv6 nameservers.
* DNSSec support.
maybe pick an open source project to start fixing bugs?. the challenge* is how many you can fix and get accepted by the maintainers.

*I realize this is not a purely coding oriented challenge. but it seems a worthy one if you're bored and are looking for something challenging do. also, bugs fixed + accepted counts toward resume fodder
Violent crime in America rose dramatically as a result of worsening racial ties after the death of Martin Luther King, a lack of employment and investment in local communities, and an increase in use of heroin and (later) easier to produce drugs like crack.

Increase in the number of robbery and petty crime identically track both the increase in use of and violence associated with drug use. But the war on drugs' main influence on this violence has been to keep the pressure on the drug dealers, increasing risk to sell the product and making it less available, thus driving up prices, increasing competition, and therefore promoting violence between drug dealers, and by drug users in order to afford what they're addicted to.

And all of this leads to increased incarceration, not just from drug charges, but from the increased violence associated with the drug trade, gang warfare, and an unlawful under-society where people do whatever they can to get by.

A flow chart would make it a bit easier to grok, but basically the drug war throws fuel on a fire that was only simmering before.

> That's actually what I love about react apart form using hierarchal components as building blocks.

This is interesting to me - I've become a bit wary of the hierarchy of responsibility as well.

Seems like a lot of it is stemming from the fact that there certainly is a hierarchy within the DOM. (This is one of the reasons I was so excited about GSS, which gives the ability to build a flat dom). But what are the solutions otherwise?

This is one of the most impressive bits of WebGL work I've seen recently - https://ga.me/games/polycraft - a full, playable, and actually very fun cel-shaded game that shows off what WebGL is capable of very nicely.
Whatever floats your boat. If you can leverage existing code then this might be an excellent option. But for the general use case building a simple and/or decent user interface I would say that you probably would be way better of just using QT.

Well they are actually separate modules, and if you look at rollup-babel you'll see the main reason it exists is to speed up builds.

> Using Rollup then using Babel slows down development, because Babel is much quicker dealing with small files than large bundles. But using Babel then Rollup often means you include helpers (e.g. classCallCheck) multiple times.

They are two separate modules that you can plug into whatever build tool you want separately.

But even if they weren't modular, is it that big of a deal? In my opinion what build tools I use means a lot less than where I'm investing my time in what I learn, and all of these JS tools are building to the ES6 standard.

The idea being, that hopefully someday in the http2 + es6 future we won't need all these build tools, but that shouldn't stop us from building experience on them now.
After hours of frustration dealing with webrtc2sip issues when using SSL (and hold & resume, etc), I found out that is possible to "do webrtc" without webrtc2sip (and still use ssl and all the features) by using the latest asterisk ONLY.

Which reminds me, I assume now Microsoft can't collect most if not all of that data through Windows 10 from EU citizens?

I just hope it won't use that "third-party trick", where it routes the data through another EU company first, because that would definitely be illegal under the recent ruling, too, but Microsoft may wrongfully believe it's "grey area", so it might just do that. If it does try to use that trick, and then later it's once again confirmed that what it's been doing is illegal, I hope it's sued for all its worth.

If there is one challenge that Nadella is facing then it is that one: to get a single unified set of goals that Microsoft will strive to achieve. As long as 'the team responsible for the telemetry update' can screw up their long term prospects they're not looking good. Note how the GP writes "I really wanted to believe in the new Microsoft".

And then some out-of-control arm of the company comes along and wrecks that (assuming it really is out-of-control rather than that it is a case of saying one thing and doing another).

Eh, I could see the Commission doing it for protectionist purposes, but why would the highest Court care about that? If it's "protectionist" it's for EU citizens' data, not for economic purposes. I've seen no evidence to the contrary so far.

If anything, it's the Commission that has been much more willing to give the US government and companies "some slack" about collecting all this data. Luckily, the Commission's hands are now tied, and the ruling sets a rather clear roadmap for the minimum requirements of privacy in any sort of new EU law or agreement with the US.
Its a bit tangential, but I would love to know what the core skill sets of some of these engineers were and why they were so valuable. I understand battery chemistry and all of the subtleties associated with them warranting poaching/hiring away/etc., but fundamentally electric vehicles are pretty simple. I am sure there is a bit of 'I don't know what I don't know but at the same time, I have built an electric go cart, and solar powered car in middle school and high school respectively. And that was spec'ing parts, selecting system voltages, wiring design, battery configuration, mechanical selection, chassis design, and physical construction. I would imagine one could hire good engineers from SAE challenges out of the universities quite easily and its just hard to understand where the killer skill set is. Perhaps it is understanding the supplier ecosystem, institutional knowledge to testing and regulatory rigour? Maybe its industrial design talent? Or maybe that within a 1 hour radius of Apple is a limitted supply of non-strictly-software engineers? I would love a bit more insight than the article provided and I am sure someone on HN has a bit of an inside perspective?
Even assuming completely benevolent car drivers (which seems a stretch), i believe that separated bike and car lanes are the only way it should be done. It is unrealistic to expect such different modes of transport (i.e., very fast 2-ton metal boxes vs. completely vulnerable meatbags on frames going 20km/h) to interact well together. If anything gies wrong (again, assume benevolent drivers: the thing going wrong might be oil on the road, a tyre blowout, sleeping driver, etc.) then the cyclist is going to come off second best, every time. This is the main point to keep in mind. Cyclists are vulnerable, and should be kept away from motorised traffic.

(incidentally, i believe the same in the pedestrians vs. cyclists argument: they too should be separated. But i didn't want to get too off-topic)

EDIT: grammar

EDIT 2: Another point: it's not as simple as you are saying, where people should just be more patient if they're in a car behind a bicycle. That may be true, but when a cyclist falls, for example, and a car "rear ends" them, they are going to be dead with a non-zero probability. The other way around (i.e. a car stalls and a cyclist rear ends them -- this has happened to me) then it's again the cyclist who ends up somewhere between just embarrassed and in the hospital.
I am amazed by how close LISP, or at least some dialects, comes to what the OP asks for:

* REPL

* code/data duality

* direct manipulation of the program

* program always running and you edit the VM image, instead of editing sources and starting the program again

* ``[t]he application s user interface and a view of the application s structure
sit side-by-side in front of the developer/user''

* ``[t]here is only one form of the application and there is no translator.''

"enough evidence to promote his model"

I don't know what this is supposed to mean. For Galileo, his observations that Venus had phases, like the Moon, and that Jupiter had its own moons, and more, were enough to convince him that the Copernican theory was more likely to be correct than the geocentric model. We now know that he interpreted the evidence correctly.

Ask HN: Joining a startup, need invention assignment agreement legal advice
(normal account changed for privacy)

I have an offer to join a startup in San Francisco but I have some concerns over their invention assignment agreement with respect to prior work. I think it's mostly mooted by California labor code 2870 but I'm not a lawyer and won't risk it to my understanding of the law. Furthermore I do not live in CA so I can't just ask a local attorney.

In the past I've tried finding lawyers from internet searches and had terrible results and I'm on a bit of a deadline. How can I find a CA attorney with experience in this sort of thing who can review the agreement within a day or two for a reasonable fee? Are there any legal services I can pay for this kind of one-off help? Any other options I'm missing?

Thanks!

I don't know of any online examples, sorry. The problem is that a well-aligned festival voice is not academically interesting, so people generally don't publish it. Festival performs well when it can rely solely on unit selection and has multiple choices of the same phoneme sequence. Once it has to do some guessing on the synthesis, you'll see a drop in quality.

With a small bit of work, you can have festival use an HTS voice directly. I usually use festival to generate my label files, post filter the phoneme timing, synthesize with HTS, then apply a post-filter.
My point was that even if you copy the numpy protocol, you still have huge projects that depend on c-extensions that you wouldn't want to port.

Pandas is one, others include scikit-learn, scikit-image, Astropy, Bioinformatics libraries, stats libraries, etc... which all have heavy C/Cython use and depend to varying degrees on the Python C-api. Porting NumPy barely scratches the surface of scientific python.

What those cyclists do is they are getting extremely good at predicting movement of cars and pedestrians and finding a collision-free path. Bikes (both motor and human powered) are generally much better at evading than at stopping. That "trance" is actually deep, but deliberately unfocused ("sense everything at once" instead of "focus on one thing at a time") concentration.

Ignoring the obvious illegality, this would still be bad for mainly two reasons:

#1 it all breaks down as soon as a pedestrian does something unpredictable (which he of course has every right to do) and

#2 the external behavior gets imitated by people who don't actually have the skill (and who won't know they don't have it before they hit someone)
So companies should be forced at gunpoint to produce on a specific country?
Exactly. To put it in terms of currently legal drugs, it's not illegal to be an alcoholic. You won't be imprisoned for the compulsive use of alcohol, regardless of the framework used to describe it (poor impulse control, chemical imbalance, whatever).

But if you go beat someone up or crash your car while drunk, you're charged with those crimes, whether committed due to your addiction or not. But outside of actual crimes committed against others in society, just being in possession of alcohol or being an addict isn't illegal. Additionally, there are resources for people who want to improve their dealings with alcohol or work out the issues that are causing their problems with it. They can make use of these resources without fear of being arrested because mere possession and use isn't a crime.

I don't claim that habitual use of opiates or amphetamines or whatever is a positive thing but putting someone at risk of criminal penalties and prison because of something that is (at worst) very unhealthy is sort of preposterous when you think about it that way.

That doesn't mean we ought to turn a blind eye to crimes committed under the influence or in search of one's dose but at a minimum, possession and use ought not to be criminal offenses.

Western Digital to acquire SanDisk for $19B
The scene looks very nice albeit I'm not sure what's so spectacular about displaying a single model? I've noticed someone saying in the thread that it's impressive because you can view it on mobile, but why wouldn't you? Modern phones are equipped with hardware better than the one we had over a decade ago, and we had 3D games back then, so displaying a single higher poly model on way better hardware doesn't really amuse me. Besides, I don't really dig the whole idea of WebGL, but the damage's done already.
I don't know about the drug cartels but the prison industry definitely lobbies.
Surface Pro 4 review: The tablet that still doesn’t quite replace your laptop
Just as far as birds go, perhaps putting protective rings around the propellers such as this one[1] might reduce or prevent propeller injuries to the animals.

As far as damage to drones from attacking animals... I have less sympathy :)

The noise might be the most annoying aspect of a drone. Animals tend to have very keen hearing and one of these bad boys hovering in the vicinity is going to be like a super loud and obnoxious leaf blower to a dog, coyote, deer, bear, etc.

But, it's likely that animals will adapt, as the writer pointed out, similarly to how predators and herd animals in Africa have gotten accustomed to eco-tourists in open buses, snapping pictures and shooting videos and chattering excitedly for reasons no animal can discern. Those crazy humans. As long as they don't try to steal my females....

> ... the fast should begin around 5pm ... there is no reason to have big dinners which are ridiculous

Actually there is a very big reason for why your advice is harmful, for me at least, but I suspect that for others as well. At 5pm I'm still at work, which means that whatever meal I'll have will be fast food and not a home cooked meal.

But even more problematic is that dinner is also the perfect opportunity to sit together with your family, as in that moment during the day that can be shared without feeling rushed and if you want to sit together with your wife and kids, anything less than 8pm is not doable, as afternoons are usually unpredictable, as for example that's also the time of day when people go shopping or solve other chores.

The family dinner is a matter of cultural inheritance that we've been forgetting and I'm willing to bet that this trait of modern life is much more harmful than fats, carbohydrates or whatever identified nutritional element is the enemy du-jour.
