Does anyone have an alternative banking solution? We aren't eligible for USAA. I'd love to keep local free ATM withdrawals, and I have no idea how depositing cash works for online only financial services.
I suspect they mean that handing out your password is a security issue. It's not like these sites are new, though, so I don't trust that "security" is the main motivator.
Not incapable. Just not interested. If you have a healthy social life outside of work (ie you're still in touch with old friends, and whenever they move close enough you know it and can rekindle the friendship), why do you need to invest so much in a work-centered social circle?
This is the answer. Lottery is so much of BS. Sort by wage guarantees that person is not kicking out any american and he/she is good enough for the company to paid him that much. But instead of having one big array of all jobs together, having separate arrays base on industry and occupation is better. And the gov can adjust the size of each array base on what kind of talent they need at that time.

BTW, I've heard some indian people submit multiple applications thru multiple companies. It looks like USCIS is not very good at catching it.
It got renamed from JavaScriptNode to ScriptProcessor when it switched from webkitAudioContext to AudioContext, and it seems to be the best-supported way to do it. I don't see why not. But of course IE doesn't support it at all and I don't think iOS Safari does either (it's a big question mark on mozilla.org anyway)
Looks like I'll be moving my 6 year old son to Firefox on his perfectly functional educational model iMac which is stuck on 10.7. Shame, that.
I, for one, believe what you are saying. There have been murmurs for several years that big outfits like Dropbox/Amazon/Google have moved to use some very fancy storage tech.

Just to ponder on the available confirmed info - lets add Samsungs 16TB SSD to a 48 disk 1U rack and times that by 4...

I'd say just with a lot of cash and stuff you can buy now you can pass that order of magnitude pretty easily. If you make your own...I can easily see the densities knocking Blackblaze's pod out of the water.

As for costs, well massive ordering, preferred rates, custom designs and symbiotic relationships with manufacturers, coupled with a software architecture that complements all these hardware gains could conceivably bring costs down to levels unheard of outside of the big cloud service providers.

The conditions and technology available right now make what you are saying within the realms of the 'adjacent possible' if you have enough money to throw at the problem. With the kind of clout Dropbox et al have I can well believe you're getting incredible storage densities but at incredible knock down prices.
Oh yes. The term came from the late Middle Ages when some people with a castle and soldiers were essentially thieves with open power and quasi legal cover. Their primary income was what they took, not taxes from lands they ruled.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robber_baron

The Rhine river hills are covered with the castles of robber barons who took protection money from ships. I had ancestors who lived in Central Europe who lived near enough to a robber baron. From time to time, the baron's men would ride out from their castle and steal everything they could carry from neighboring villages.
If I had to guess, they're using the Gear VR and the next few months to test out their services / infrastructure (such as Oculus Arcade, Oculus Video, Oculus 360 Photos, Oculus Social) before they do a much bigger launch of the highly anticipated Oculus Rift.

(Credit where due: I stole that from Dilbert.)

These students are not actually thinking about what they're saying and doing. They're doing stuff that's somewhat clever tactics, and they're arguing with somewhat-plausible-sounding lines, but they clearly aren't thinking.
If I know I'm going some where with poor 3G/4G coverage and might get lost, I'll install HERE Maps and get the offline maps for the region, but otherwise I like Google, so this will be nice to have a single map app.
I don't think it's overly technical for its intended audience. It's just that it's written for an audience that understands phase, DC-component, main frequency, and what it means for something to be "wrapped in one cycle" around the table.

Let me put it this way.

Is every one of your former employers entitled to free support because they once paid your salary? No, I did not think so.
It's not a pricing issue, it's a time issue. Scaling a production application like Baremetrics isn't a turn-key thing. They can't just up the number of dynos or whatever you're thinking it's like. It takes time, time they decided was better spent servicing paying customers and new trial customers, instead of customers that statistically would never pay them.

I'm not sure what we're disagreeing on, really. The blog post literally has "failure" in the subject. It was an experiment that didn't turn out well, thus they ended it and are now moving on.

It is hugely disappointing to see what, likely, is them getting run into the ground. It almost seems self-serving that Rubin would buy all these companies, who would have been competitors for his new incubator, shackle them to Google and then leave them in the lurch to go do his own thing.

I think people misperceive "security fixes" as a binary thing when it's really a sliding scale. The choice to backport is often not a clearcut decision, and you need to balance the risk of the underlying issue against the potential conflicts with a legacy platform and its dependencies. Otherwise, your security update might cause quite a bit of collateral damage. So, Microsoft is understandably cautious and afaict backports only fixes for major issues.

Of course, that gets complicated when you consider something like Chrome's sandbox, which can depend on system guarantees that Microsoft may consider esoteric or just low-priority. To their credit, Microsoft is responsive when we find these kinds of issues and report them. However, it's not uncommon for the issues to not be considered important enough to backport to legacy OSes (or for the task to just be too arduous). That's why we also tend to focus our work on the most current supported versions, which also offer increasingly better mitigation technologies with each release.
At the crux of it is not allowing self-serve cancellation. I know, boo, hiss, burn us at the stake. ;) We wrote a little bit about that here: https://baremetrics.com/blog/how-we-reduced-churn

It is a bit tiresome to write in this thread, with constant insinuations like "those who control .com control every domain" and "key pinning hasn't been dependent on trust-on-first-use for ages", but which are never spelled out. I'm not sure there are any further insights to gain.

If you'd like, I will name an important domain with a trivial use case: skatteverket.se. It it the agency responsible not only of taxes but of nearly all personal data: marriages, deaths, everything. They have stringent security requirements for this, and to their users their security is infinitely more important than that of, say Facebook for example.

In what way would their adoption of DNSSEC cede control of anything to the NSA, or to anyone?
This is such a bizarre argument to make. An analog synth is typically going to be far more expressive than Pd: most if not all of its settings are immediately available via a physical knob, where with Pd you have to configure a mapping for each parameter--and by default it won't be labelled, so you have to put stickynotes all over the place, and if you change anything, move them all over again. Which you can do! But it's a lot of time spent, which you have to keep on spending as you change your Pd configuration.

But that's bracketing out the issue of the sound. Digital synths just don't sound like analog synths, not yet. (The gap is closing every year, sure.) Modelling the subtle variations of an analog synth is a difficult, processor-intensive task, and there's a qualitative difference between the sound of the best digital emulations and the cheapest analog devices. I use both digital and analog synthesizers, and I find that creating usable sounds is much faster with analog. Which translates into more expressiveness, because it's much more possible to change sounds on the fly.

Not my area of expertise, but isn't it fairly trivial to circumvent an IP address block, (given a willingness to devote some resources to it)?
That is the whole point though. If I don't experience the harm, you'll have to convince me it actually exists. I'll gladly take a deal if I have some reasonable doubt in the harm, or know it won't effect me.
Wrong. OPT and CPT are programs that many typical H1B immigrants are hired through by regular employers throughout the year.

I don't at the moment have time to read the article, but I will note that you do NOT need to have brain damage from the torture in order for it to interfere with recall.

Memory is state dependent. You recall things best when in a similar state to when you usually access that information. Placing someone in an extreme altered state can interfere with memory access of "normal" memories, without brain damage needing to occur.

The degree to which memory is state dependent was really brought home to me when I had a serious medical crisis some years back. The birth of my first child was very difficult and I usually have trouble remembering the details. During my medical crisis, I was in constant extreme pain for 3.5 years. During that time, I was able to remember the birth of that child with tremendous clarity after years of remembering it foggily.

You do not need to cause brain damage to interfere with mental processes like recall.

Are HOA docs public? Could they be scraped from the county recorder's website?

If you were able to tie HOA or other community org bylaws to property addresses, you'd be able to get the data you're looking for.

I have mulled at a startup idea to report AirBnB listings to HOAs that prohibit short term rentals (property compliance), just haven't gone down that road yet.

Ask HN: Are there any auctioning algorithms?
I've been researching into algorithms used by major commercial websites (such as Amazon or eBay) to set prices. As I see there is a lot of auctioning on eBay, I can't help but wonder if some or a majority of these auction are done through algorithms, such as transactions done on the stock market. Is there any material that I can read regarding this and auction theory in general ? It doesn't seem to give a lot of results on google.
I remain impressed that people who were up in arms about the Snowden revelations, or, just yesterday, about NSA stockpiling zero-days, could casually rationalize the largest transfer of control over the Internet to governments in the whole history of the net.

Is this me? I was, and am still, quite concerned about many of Snowden's revelations. I'm not as concerned about "passive" NSA vuln research as e.g. EFF are, although active sabotage of standards and deployed infrastructure has got to stop. I don't intend in this thread to rationalize anything, only to find out more about DNSSEC. For instance, why couldn't DNSSEC be used in addition to other methods such as TLS and DNSCrypt? I appreciate your insight in this area, but it's not clear that DDOS amplification (which, if it could be avoided by anyone, could be avoided by CF with their long experience in packet dropping) is enough of an issue to prevent even trying something like this.

Well...
A few years ago we build a website that had a ranking algorithm somewhat similar to reddit. Upvoting a post would put in your favorites. Many users told us that oftentimes they wanted to upvotes a post without putting it in their favs, so we split the behavior and introduced a new fav button in addition to the upvote button. This worked out remarkably well. People voted more without fear of polluting their favs. The overal ranking of posts worked way better with that.

I don't think that makes sense for twitter though, because "popular tweets" are not really substantial for the platform - and I actually like that about twitter. It's not so much a popularity contest as platforms are.

So, without the need for a strong ranking, I'm not sure if more likes are actually a good outcome. What do we gain from this, other than making it harder to find your (truly) favorite tweets again?
looks like crashplan does support client-side encryption? is that true? does it require a local mirror disk/folder like dropbox does?

Fair. But I've also witnessed this outside of work environments. People are so strongly (and as I say, this isn't bad on its own) tied to past relationships (HS, college) and easily connected to them via FB, Twitter, etc. that they aren't making relationships in their new locations when they move. The latter part is the problem. You're in a new environment. You're working and living with new people. You need to connect to them in some manner, if you remain strangers with those around you (work, neighborhood, etc.), then you will be lonely and unhappily disconnected from people unless you're particularly introverted.
It's funny to see anti-capitalists encouraging employers to pay below market wage.
Of course DNSSEC also protects end clients, because by design the DNS protocol between end clients and servers, and between caching servers and authoritative ones, is the same.

There is a difference between the way TCP/IP works when sites like HowStuffWorks describe it, and the way it works in the real world.

In the real world, when you type a site name into your browser bar, your browser invokes a stub resolver to send a DNS query to a DNS recursive cache server, which is virtually never running on your local machine.

So, however it's supposed to work in theory, in practice there is DNS traffic running between your machine and some server somewhere on the Internet (perhaps very far away on the Internet if you use OpenDNS or Google DNS), and DNSSEC does not protect those queries. They're flying around the network in plaintext protected only by a 16 bit plaintext query ID and somewhat less than 16 bits of entropy in source ports, if you're lucky.

I'm pretty sure I can speak reliably for what that article I linked to claims.

A 3-credit class is 3 hours in the classroom per week, plus additional time outside of class. The amount of additional time spent outside the classroom varies, but it is not time spent in the classroom. 21 divided by 5 is not anywhere close to 8.

In plain English, author overstated time spent in classes by a factor of 2.

The other thing about circuit labs is that it's b2c. It didn't take long time for me as an individual to play with circuitlabs and go "ok, this is cool, I want to use this a bunch, let's type in my credit card".

As a b2b it requires a bunch of extra planning, trials, evaluation, and then mgmt approval. I guess I'm just saying that it's much harder in b2b to see who is taking it seriously and who isn't.

I do not have a good defence as to why I have an accent, but I'll try to clarify my position.

Yes, it is true that you can get rid of an accent, and that you can overcome certain limitations that arise out of the 'state of affairs of the world'. I do not deny this.

Yet, sometimes you need a lot of effort to overcome certain obstacles. Perhaps I am somewhat inefficient with my efforts, and I should try harder. Or at the very least, consider asking for a tutor. In spite of that, I hope that you understand that we do want to blend in, and just like 'fat people', we sometimes lack the tools to appropriately do so.

So, in conclusion, I do not disagree with what you say, but I'll choose to focus on the actual actions that I can take to communicate more effectively. Right now, that means finding coaches that help with pronunciation.
EDIT: This is all wrong: I think USAA checking and other financial services are open to most people now, not just military and relatives of current members. Insurance and perhaps retirement accounts, I think, are all that are still restricted.

This either used to be true and its switched back, or they were discussing it and decided not to implement it. Sorry for the mistake.

Also, yeah, as my sibling reply says, you can't deposit cash easily. I think you can technically mail it, but I would never do that. I used to get paid rent by a roommate in cash, it was a few hundred a month. I'd just pay for my meals and groceries with it instead of depositing it.

"Slow" in the case of a router/mux is entirely relative though. There's been this strange focus on routing speed/allocations, when its the smallest slice of your total request-to-response performance. Martini's router won't make your application noticeably slower than any other.

No, the main purpose of attempting replication is to challenge of the result. "I think you made a mistake, let's try to replicate and show it." And if you fail to replicate, you publish that and show the world that the result shouldn't be believed.

If you successfully replicate, then it has survived the challenge. The more challenges it survives, the more confidence we can have that the result is valid.

That said, we do not try to make replication challenging. We try to present experiments in a way that makes replication as easy as possible to perform. Exactly so that people don't have to take what we said on faith.

The point of the prediction market here is not to replace independent replication with opinion. It is to ensure that the energy that gets spent on replication is more likely to be spent effectively.

Ideally, of course, targeting replication efforts more effectively will increase the value of time spent in attempting replication. This should therefore increase how much effort is spent on replication. Which is exactly the opposite of replacing independent replication with opinion!
