> Rationality requires laws of logic--which do not exist in a humanistic, materialistic world.

And how do you suppose that? Materialism doesn't deny the existence of logic; you seem to not really know what materialism is.

> Tell me, can you stub your toe on the law of non-contradiction? No? How does it exist then?

Yea, you don't know what materialism is. I can't stub my toe on hacker news either, nor any website, but they clearly exist and they exist in way perfectly compatible with materialism as does your mind and the thing we call logic. They still all reduce down to patterns of matter in your brain or patterns of electrons in computer chips, it is all physical at the base level. To a materialist, mind is simply what the brain does, it's your operating system just as Windows is what your computer is probably doing. Perfectly compatible with materialism.

Science and logic go hand in hand and scientists are virtually all materialists because so far as anyone can demonstrate with evidence, materialism is the nature of reality.

Yeah, seems like bringing the showroom into your house would be a great way to sell furniture and accessories. Make this a platform for retailers and manufacturers!
Just getting a "floor plan" or empty room is much easier. But yes, it's an active area of research in Computer Vision / Graphics. Later on in the article it says "90% automated" and that things are checked. That'll be good enough to make this cost feasible.

Defense mechanisms: How your way of coping with the world prevents your growth
To be clear: do rich and successful people have more children than poor ones? Someone has any source on that?

Two thoughts on that:

1. They almost certainly have more opportunity for mating. But they may not always take advantage of that opportunity (especially since they may have child-less sex through various birth control measures)

2. It isn't just a question of the number of children, it's also a question of the fitness of their children. If "fit attracts fit" then the most fit females tend to pair up with the most fit males, and their children average out as more fit than others.

But now we're back to the idea that we no longer know exactly what "fit" means in this world. I guess the answer is "it's complicated". But I still don't see any reason in any of that, to think that no evolution occurs.
I like that it sounds like "Mountain Dew", and think it will succeed for this reason.
I've got an idea.

Step 1: Throw some rice in a rice cooker, add water, press button.

Step 2: Cut up 2 sausages, throw it in the microwave for 2 minutes

Step 3: Put one or two cups of frozen vegetables in a bowl, add water, and steam in the microwave for 4mins.

Step 4: Throw the sausages and the vegetables on the rice, add Soy Sauce to taste.

Optional: Feel free to make some eggs on a pan. Should only take 2-3mins. You can add that into the mix of Rice/Sausage/Veggies.

Aaaaand that's dinner!
> interface design has moved foward in huge strides in the last decades, learning from mistakes

Windows's UI has changed little in two decades, and some of the changes have actually made things worse.

Windows 95 was the first and the last Windows version where Microsoft poured millions into making a super-accessible, usable and intuitive user interface based on actual user studies, and it showed.

Windows 98 brought totally-not-product-bundling "web integration" to try and convince the US Government that Internet Explorer was a feature, not a product. This is where the scourge of Active Desktop, HTML Help, the bloated 98+ shell and other things came from. The change in Windows Explorer paradigm might have been good, but it was also a "web integration" change and Microsoft's own research from 95 showed that the 95 model was the most intuitive, so I doubt the change would have helped usability.

ME/2000 (the desktop was the same) changed very little UI-wise. They gave things a nicer coat of paint, though.

XP added the Luna theme and a second column to the start menu. Vista made everything glossy and added search to the start menu. 7 reorganised the taskbar. These were improvements overall.

Windows 8 came along and added an entirely new desktop environment and very poorly connected it to the existing one, creating a frankenstein UI.

Windows 10 now fixes a little of the Windows 8 mess, but it's still a mess. There's several different popup menu styles. There's multiple scroll bar styles.
Situations like Turkey's DST extension reminds me why storing dates in UTC with no further information is not good enough.
Anyone who could create Xen PV VMs could trivially take control of the whole machine including of course all your VMs regardless of type.
"Walgreens should shut down their existing Theranos branded centers or risk getting sued..."

Yes--Yes, I believe that Theranos us a liability too. While I'm here; Wallgreen's refill you clients prescriptions--in a conscious manner!

Vet each store, and make absolutely sure your pharmacists are calling the doctors office and getting an authorization for medication refills. (There seems to be a bit of a problem?)

Furthermore, make sure they are filling out TAR authorizations? I know they are a pain, but a necessity?

If anyone from Wallgreen's reads this; I'm not just nitpicking. Among Doctors and patients your getting a terrible reputation. Again--take the time to refill a prescription properly.

We all want the best for your company, and you don't want to be know as the slacker among Pharmacies? It's not to late to turn it around.
The open source community is not there to provide you with cred and visibility. It's there to so software can be developed in a way that certain people think is the best way to develop software.
I feel like Color gets shit on unnecessarily because they raised a lot of money. The founders had an incredible track record and they actually had a product that a lot of people used 1MM downloads at one point.

I agree that they got too much money for their traction, but it's all Sunday morning quarterbacking.

Same with Clinkle, at first blush it seems like vaporware, but according to some of the insiders they had some hardcore tech that they could never get legally cleared to use.

I think the key thing though is that these companies have something real, but that they can't execute on it at scale.
Your best posture is your next. The most important thing is just to move around and there are plenty of ways to accomplish this now.

I built a fairly complex app in vert.x a few years back. If you don't start with a promises library off the bat, you end up in a callback hell not unlike node.js.

You also realize very quickly how synchronous many of the Java libraries for things like databases, redis, etc are. The ecosystem just isn't built to work like that, but that's not the fault of the vert.x guys.

With "special services" insufficiently defined, this opens up a lot of possibilities. Just today, Deutsche Telekom announced that
"According to our [Deutsche Telekom] ideas, they [startups] pay for it as part of a revenue sharing of a few percent. That would be a fair contribution for the use of infrastructure."

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10472765

With "video conferencing, online gaming, telemedicine automated traffic control and self-steering cars up to integrated production processes in the industry" as examples of users needing to pay, this goes a lot further than what has always been argued for by the commission.
> This point of nerfhammer I think is wrong. If the value of your stock holdings goes down by 2% every year, but keeps the same purchasing power, the only difference to you is that you don't pay any capital gains taxes

The difference is you would be better off holding cash. The stock's value is constant in real terms, the value of cash increases.

On the other hand most cities have at least some "real" bakeries where you can get a nice loaf of bread with proper crumb and flavor.

Most supermarket bread is virtually inedible to folks that have a taste for good bread. Aside from the insane ingredient list, the sickly softness of it and the lack of any decent crust and crumb makes me wonder what market forces influenced industrial bread makers. How can anyone that has tasted a traditional loaf of freshly baked bread stand for that stuff in the supermarket?
Sometime last year I had moved to the Bay Area from Denver and was looking for jobs. After hearing a lot of buzz about Theranos and seeing a recruiter post here (on HN: Who's Hiring) I sent my resume over. Was rejected right off the bat for not having a degree from a top tier school. This after ignoring the fact that I have almost 20 years of experience and have worked on some world class Medical Devices deployed over 150 countries. Granted, I could be a complete idiot, but refusing to look at anything past my degree obtained 2 decades back was a little jarring.

In any case, I do think they are pursuing a worthy goal and we should not lose sight of that fact. Kudos to Holmes for trying. As in any entrepreneur's case there might be a lot of optimism bordering on delusion. If they fail, is it because the problem was too hard to begin with or mismanagement? That is something I'm curious to know.
How is reporting a bug not a contribution? Now, I don't know about this particular bug, but in most cases finding the bug is where the work is. Checking in the fix is trivial.
Oh no, it's much worse than that. On Earth you can generally treat time as being the same speed everywhere. If you start a timer at T1 UTC and run it for a locally observed 60 seconds you can expect the current UTC time to be T1+60 seconds. In space relativistic effects stop being negligible and you might find that UTC time is T1+61 seconds.
I think it's really, really easy to have sex. Like, be young or/and drunk, and it will happen by accident. But the part that's not opinion is that once sex is in play, birth control requires additional energy and resources that positively affect those with less social power.

e: i think i meant to say birth control (evolutionarily) negatively affects those with more social power

Really depends on the network you setup, yes the traffic can be picked over the air but if you secure the network sufficiently and only trusted devices are connected to it is trustworthy.

People will not be easily breaking WPA2, if you rotate your keys, and implement other security measures such as RAPD or .x1 your threat agents change from anyone with a cellphone to very well funded and "armed" adversaries.

It seems attractive to me at first blush. However, with time zones, when you ask your associate on the other side of the world "what time is it there?", the implications of when you can expect communication is almost immediately. Having to ask "when do you get off work" seems a little more cumbersome to figure out all the following details.

But hey, we muddle through the current chaos, I'm sure we can muddle through any other chaos.
Your code does not seem to mention its license anywhere. This makes it impossible to use in most projects. For commercial embedded a BSD-style license seems to be better. For using it in GPL software GPL would work better.
IANAL but without a license and a copyright notice depending on the country the viewer is in it might be even up for grabs for them to put on their own copyright and license.

I can't tell for sure either. Their pages about it, as usual, are heavy on marketing and light on technical details. In one case it looks like they offer a CloudFlare-like service (http://cloudproxy.sucuri.net/features), and then in another case, they offer it as a Wordpress plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/sucuri-cloudproxy-waf/faq/) (and presumably for other platforms too).

Given modern web development trends though, I'm sure they'll be very successful at selling their product without bothering with things like technical details.
Poor people are, in general, treated as if they have less merit.

So they have merit in an absolute sense, but not in a societal opinion sense.
I don't know the answer to that. Perhaps some more research is in order, I imagine that countries and societies that have this actually codified may already have implemented something like this.
There might be. I share your - and many other people's - feeling that the way we're doing it right now is neither sane or sustainable, nor scalable in the long run.

I'm not entirely sure though you such a service would've to be like to be useful.

Coding for the web today feels a bit like 80s-style hacking 8- or 16-bit home computers to make them do things nobody ever thought they were capable of in the beginning.

In the end we've got to make do with what the large browser vendors provide us with and that is very much the core problem. Their priorities don't always align with those of the people creating web-based solutions. Otherwise we'd have stylable <select> boxes for a long time now.

So, while such a service might indeed be an improvement if done correctly, I'm still wondering if it'd solve the right underlying problem or if it'd just be another attempt at hacking around the actual issues.
The OP thought that their attitude might be some kind of test of how he handled himself under pressure.

I play the meta-game, wondering if perhaps this is a test to see how I’ll react when questioned and embarrassed. Even if this wasn’t a test, I was determined to be the most professional in the room and finish with my head held high.
Again, that's not the whole story.

Madoff had an incredibly successful and well run OTC trading platform that was a backbone for NASDAQ. His fraud was done outside of the primary business lines - so it wasn't just straight up selling just himself, he had an auditable track record.
Planks really helped my lower back. 1 minute face down, 1 on each side and 1 face up. If you can't make it to the gym, or you're feeling pressed for time, give it a shot.

Everyone's different of course, and i'm not a doctor, but building up that core strength did a lot for me. I pretty much stole the warmup from reddit's bodyweightfitness https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend... The whole routine is good, but the warmup alone seems like enough to at least maintain my back.

Googling for the word seems to imply that the term is being used in a few different contexts — and it is a real word. I suppose my beef is that Google's re:work and 37S' both deal with the workplace. It's a little too close in context IMO.
Well there aren't any actual communist governments, so there haven't been any totalitarian ones. :P

I agree, somewhat, about using vernacular, but that misses the point.

Simplest way to make this only weakly gameable is to allow bids to be entered that are higher than the current minimum so that you can bid to be the 2nd person to do work. It's still gamble because you can have people bid artificially low in order to intentionally delay work or give someone more time to do things, but it's likely a better system than failure penalties.
I wonder if this was a move by the company, or the departing board members. Perhaps they don't want to have their names associated with the current situation.

It seems like the "strategy" here would be 1.) submit a bid of $3000, and 2.) have a friend submit a bid at $1. The bidding closes, your friend intentionally sandbags the project, then you complete the project at $3k.

Xen is used by security-focused Qubes, which published an analysis of XSA-148, https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-secpack/blob/master/QSBs/qs...:

"The above is a political way of stating the bug is a very critical one. Probably the worst we have seen affecting the Xen hypervisor, ever. Sadly.

Admittedly this is subtle bug, because there is no buggy code that could be spotted immediately ... On the other hand, it is really shocking that such a bug has been lurking in the core of the hypervisor for so many years. In our
opinion the Xen project should rethink their coding guidelines and try to come up with practices and perhaps additional mechanisms that would not let similar flaws to plague the hypervisor ever again (assert-like
mechanisms perhaps?). Otherwise the whole project makes no sense, at least to those who would like to use Xen for security-sensitive work.

Specifically, it worries us that, in the last 7 years (i.e. all the time when the bug was sitting there having a good time) so much engineering and development effort has been put into adding all sorts of new features and whatnots, yet no serious effort to improve Xen security effectively. Because there have been, of course, many more security bugs found in Xen over the last years (as the numbering of this XSA suggests)... the bugs in Xen are being found regularly, and
this is no good news. For a type-1 hypervisor of the age and maturity of Xen, this simply should not be happening. If it does, it suggests the development process is not prioritizing security."
