That's how it actually works. You don't even have to do anything. Just opt-in to temporarily share your location by running a "people in the neighbourhood" scan. "Girls" start writing to you offering "door-to-door full range of services".

I say "girls" because I strongly suspect those are fake accounts run by some agency that will dispatch actual workers to you when you agree for the service. I think so, because otherwise China has a really big evening employment and entertainment problem.

That's the vaccine. You can't prevent your way out of an already-blown epidemic, though. I'm also not sure how common that vaccine is, or for how long it's protective, or if it's fully protective.

EDIT: all of the information I am wondering about is in the wikipedia article I linked. Seems like vaccination isn't widespread in a lot of places, including the US.
The issue is quality of education is not easily quantified and measurable beyond testing. People want to see their tax dollars working but then you have now a system in place to protect both the teachers, the schools, and the tax payers but NOT the actual students.

I've helped a few Charter Schools and religious ones, and while the kids are mostly behaved everyone I've been too they are way behind track academically. I think the actual lack of oversight creates a different problem.
And this is thoroughly discussed in the article. It's a sample of men from Harvard. However, it is a very long, in-depth study.

Just as you can argue that it can, at best, indicate correlation - and only apply to white Harvard men... it's also possible that the lessons learned are applicable to people outside that narrow scope. It's possible. But then it's also possible that the internal opinions, biases and struggles of Vaillant are bleeding into the conclusions as well.

That only works when the "market" has similar desires as your own. Which might be true in, say, Europe with regard to bread but in the US it's hard to find high quality bread at a typical grocery store. I've been learning how to make bread at home for some years and now I'm pretty good at it. I prefer my bread to anything I can find in a store easily and while it does take time, effort, and the initial expense of buying the necessary equipment, I work full time and making bread isn't a huge time impact on my life.

But having worked on a Win32 application for two years, I am glad I will never again have to touch that pile of poo.

At the time it was created, Win32 might have been a nice API, given the underpowered machines it was designed to run on. But compared to building GUIs on a POSIX-ish system using Gtk+, it was an incredible pain.

I can understand why many Windows developers were so happy to embrace .Net; one might like it or dislike it, but it is a huge improvement on Win32. (As for MFC/AFX, I only had the most fleeting contact with it, so I cannot say for sure.)

This is because you're thinking of actual bread and not substances that are engineered to resemble bread. Usually this is done by replacing grains in part or in whole with something else. Much like low-fat milk. Of course, a bread made of whole-wheat flour would be healthier because it contains fiber, besides some minerals that are good for us. But because we are obsessed with numbers related to specific ingredients, the food industry obliged.

> However in Java it isn't that hard anymore to make a Sync Library Async

Not necessarily true. Sure you can create a set of worker threads that take requests, process them synchronously, and hand stuff back but that's going to inflate your thread count and it's nowhere as optimal as writing a library that is async-aware from the first line of code.

On top of that, lots of Java code assumes that you'll be making various sequenced calls from the same thread. You'll find that libraries will randomly corrupt data or return stale reads if they haven't been synchronized properly. Many protocols (ie: Redis) have built-in pipelining that isn't used in sync libraries.

Ask HN: Is there a better way to manage assets and transactions aside from Mint
The problems with Mint are

1/ Any Incoming Checking - Savings transactions are considered as Income
2/ WRT Investments, they sometimes categorize stocks sold as income
3/ I need to tag outgoing money if I am investing in an IRA/investments vehicle otherwise this is categorized as spending

What would be ideal is for a system to categorize

1/ All credit card spending as Spending
2/ Auto-Tag investments as Assets and not Income
3/ Discard Checking-Savings and Savings-Checking transfers as income or hide altogether

Manually, I have been able to hide transactions but it seems excessive, especially with Mint knowing what the source and destination accounts are.

Does anyone at HN have a better idea on how to configure Mint or another software?
Worth mentioning, a major tax credit for US solar installations will expire at the end of 2016.[1] No one knows for sure how this will impact the industry, but before you dump all your money into solar stocks, or quit your day job to start a solar startup, you might want to do some research. The general consensus is that things are going to get pretty crazy over the next year as companies try and get installations done before the tax credit expires. And after that, no one really knows what is going to happen.

With ad blockers, user tracking gets harder and harder, and this sucks when you want to understand the effects of changes on your own website, such as changing user menus, moving content blocks from a position to another, or even to a different page, etc. The value of partnerships with other websites gets harder to evaluate too.

Hosting my websites on Linux environments, I never stopped using server-side generated statistics (based on Apache's access logs) with tools like AWStats. Used together, I feel that client and server-side stats give a much better image of what really happens on my websites.

But in the end, I feel awstats isn't enough, and I'll take a look at other solutions that have been pointed out in these comments. Thanks!

I could go on and on and on... but the point is that kvm (and xen HVM mode) may have performance advantages in some situations, but xen pv mode has consistently had fewer security vulnerabilities, especially if you use something like pv-grub to load untrusted guest kernels (rather than loading those kernels directly in the dom0)

The biggest problem is the qemu drivers; Honestly, I don't know enough about kvm to know if it was possible, but if you could completely remove the device emulation and force the guest to only use paravirtualized drivers, your security under KVM (or Xen HVM) would be much better, mostly because you'd vastly reduce the amount of hypervisor code the guest interacts with.

But the point here is that all systems have problems, and the xen pv mode has had fewer security holes found it it than most other hypervisors, mostly because there's a lot less code that the guest interfaces with.

> Usually this is done by replacing grains in part or in whole with something else. Much like low-fat milk.

Low fat milk is made by just removing fat from whole milk; the milk changes consistency and possibly color because of this. Fat is not a huge component of milk.

There are milk products that replace the fat with some fat-like substitute; for example, a store near me sells something called "fat-free half and half", when half and half should be about 10% fat. But low-fat milk just refers to milk with a large part of the fat removed.
Although humans are diverse in regards to lifestyle preferences - deep down we are one and the same (living the human condition) where love and, its opposite, hate (and all the concomitant superficial beliefs/ identities/ feelings) are common experiences.

Also, the feeling of love (be it romantic or filial or whatever) doesn't last, and is not stable; people who profess that are usually the ones who have arrived at some kind of compromise. Right in this very thread you will find someone who redefined love to be an "act."

Above all, no matter what one's lifestyle preference is - love hurts. So why the reluctance to question love itself? Why the continued investment in boasting the superiority of love (all that sad love songs have a tinge of sanctimony to them)?

Why would you need PV?

It's inferior in basically every way to HVM. CPU performance is worse due to missing protection rings on x86_64, PV drivers for disk and network bring HVM performance to PV for those, SR-IOV for networking makes networking faster, other hardware extension make memory access faster...

THere's very very very very very few workloads that perform better on PV than HVM.

> The overall trajectory of Constitutional protections is to get more broadly interpreted over time

I'm not sure that that's the case, and at least on the issue of the executive powers of the federal government, it's pretty straightforward to argue that the federal powers specifically have increased over time.

For just one example, marijuana prohibition in 1937 was implemented as an 'impossible tax'[0] specifically because it was believed that Congress didn't have the authority to authorize prohibition of possession of a plant within the states[1][2]. The first prosecution was for failing to pay the tax, not "technically" for possession.

Nowadays, the argument that Congress lacks this power seems quaint!

I'd be willing to say that the overall trajectory of Constitutional protections is a mixed bag, but I'm really not convinced that overall the trend is towards increased Constitutional protections, particularly when it comes to protection from the executive arm of the federal government.

[0] for those who don't know: possession was legal only if you had a stamp that demonstrated you'd paid tax on it. The stamps were impossible to get, therefore the product was impossible to possess legally: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marihuana_Tax_Act_of_1937#Oper...

[1] The 18th amendment appears to contradict this reasoning, but it actually serves as an example of this. First, the Marihuana[sic] Tax Act was different from a constitutional amendment (which required the approval of the states). Secondly, even alcohol prohibition was implemented in a similarly back-door way (banning "manufacture, sale, or transportation", but not explicitly possession).

[2] (Yes, Congress is the legislative branch rather than the executive, but the question was whether the executive branch can actually obtain these powers at all)
We should have -O4 meaning "however long it takes" or something.

> ...but even on your own network, you can't trust wifi...

WPA2 Enterprise uses AES for per-client session key generation, and -when you use EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLS- TLS for transportation of client credentials and assurance that both ends of the conversation are who they say they are. [0]

You can make WiFi just as secure as wired Ethernet, it just takes a -surprisingly small- bit of work. :)

If Windows and Mac machines supported EAP-PWD, or (even better) WFA-TLS-UNAUTH [1] even coffeeshop WiFi would be secure from passive attack.

[0] When you use WiFi client and RADIUS server certs, rather than just username and password.

[1] EAP offers a very large array of authentication methods. EAP-PWD authenticates with just a username and password and doesn't muck about with TLS certs. WFA-TLS-UNAUTH uses TLS, but doesn't verify the RADIUS server cert and doesn't require a client cert. Both of these schemes offer substantially less assurance than full-blown EAP-[T]TLS, but they also let you offer encrypted WiFi without hassle.
