Given more vacations:
Why do you assume that people who work hard already will work even harder?
Why do you assume that people who slack at work will work any harder?

Remember, people compete with each other, so do companies. They're not trying to hit some predetermined level of yearly productivity. If you give vacations to everybody, they'll actually spend some off time, that's that.

This was actually tried. In Russia a full week of vacations was introduced, around the New Year. Did people start working harder? No. Did anything collapse? No.
Everything you need to know about Square's IPO [Datagraphic]
This at first seems frivolous but after considering it I have to side with In-N-Out. Consumers may think this company is an authorized/official delivery service for In-N-Out, and if In-N-Out can't be certain of the quality of the service that's going to possibly reflect badly on them.
Maybe there is somebody who uses GI to do those things, but that is not a standard method and likely a bad idea. For comparing files the standard method is just a diff based on Levenshtein distance, and the standard methods for character recognition are various forms of machine learning (e.g. SVM, NN).
I'm not really a fan of In-N-Out either, but I will admit that their food is not the same as McDonalds. That said, there are plenty of people that use services like Postmates to get McDonalds food, and it works pretty well.
This is a stupid idea, IMHO. Most maps label the Van Ness Ave as "Hwy 101". When tourists come from the south, they'll naturally keep on 101.

If you look at the concept figure, there'll be 2 "lanes" on either side. If you reserve 1 lane for parking, you've reduced Van Ness to 1 lane of road in each direction.... a disaster in the making!

Surface transport is risky anyways: what if there's an injury accident (as happens _all_ the time on roads), and ambulances block the transit bus? Whoops, no more "rapid" in BRT!

The solution is either a subway (expensive), or an overhead line (fugly). Not BRT.
If you bother to compose half a page on a software problem, might as well provide a solution, no?

runCb(){ cb; echo -e '\n\nGo on? (y/n)'; read -sn 1 ans; if [ "$ans" = y ]; then eval "`cb`"; else true; fi; } #cb should output the contents of your clipboard

Or another option would be to switch your terminal to editing mode (v in the normal mode of `set -o vi`), paste it there, and do `:wq` to run it.
Also corporate liberty. Does In-N-Out have the right to refuse to sell to DoorDash couriers?
I don't think that's the case.

The only reason the USA is such a superpower now is because literally everyone else involved had their infrastructure decimated.
The first time I read your post I thought you might be referring to some of the stuff addressed in: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/security/content-secu... with the sha1 hashes for scripts.

There is also the idea of bundling in popular scripts to the browsers themselves. There are a few different discussion threads on StackOverflow about it like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8287607/why-is-jquery-not...
The mobile infrastructure has a hefty upkeep fee, regardless of usage. Many other utilities have monthly base charges just for the connection.

Of course now that people have more than one device the number of "lines" isn't fixed. So it does seem ridiculous that multiple devices means paying multiple upkeeps for the same infrastructure (disregarding the bandwidth used by control messages).

But given the glaring security issues with common cell radio chipsets, having multiple devices directly on the cell network is an antifeature! The same communication can be accomplished with a dedicated hotspot or a phone that tethers for everything else. Data is data - what is the advantage of making yourself more legible to the cell network?

That's besides the point. Apple is still restricting what you do on your laptop by having the underlying system preventing you from creating that yourself. The homebrew issue is just a symptom of the restriction.
What evidence do you have that productivity is elastic in that way? I'm particularly curious how "far out" the effect you're describing goes: is it still elastic enough to cover an extra 3 weeks of vacation per year?
As long as Netflix can appease investors by attracting new membership, they won't need ads. Once membership peaks they will have to start thinking of ways to keep their QER in the black (because investors can only see one single quarter into the future). That's when we have to worry.

Safari does include a search text function. Tap on the search bar and type in your text. Don't hit enter, scroll down to the autosuggest results and it says find on page. Tap that.
Look, anyone that has every been to in-n-out, or any other fresh burger place, knows that the food tastes worse after a few minutes. why would in-n-out want there food delivered, when it will arrive in a poor state. obviously, in-n-out wants their food to be the best. delivered fries and burgers are not that great.
"~McDonald's quality"?? If you mean within an order of magnitude, then I suppose yes. Neither is the French Laundry. For me In-N-Out is clearly superior. In fact, I use them vs McDonalds as an example to show my kids what happens when Wall St. gets in charge of a business. One presumes that a long time ago McDonalds did make food of equal quality to In-n-Out but decades of squeezing out that extra 0.1% of profit margin every month has an effect.
Thanks! It seems that the "integrity" attribute is aimed at preventing XSS. I would totally support that as well. Perhaps the "integrity" attribute can be taken advantage of by browsers automatically for cross-site caching, in addition to its intended purpose of preventing cross-site scripting attacks?
You have the right to request that they conduct a transaction via your agent. They have the right to refuse service to that agent. There is no prior business agreement that states that in-n-out sell to doordash agents, and refusal to do so is within their rights, as delivery person is not a protected class.

That's where a console platform comes in. Instead of being a random smartTV with second rate software built by a hardware manufacturer, it would become a random smartTV with the "Nintendo living room suite" or whatever.

Ask HN: What stack to use for a simple(ish) web-app
I have recently been brought on as a front end developer for a web-app. The app's basic premise is that the user can enter in a bunch of different inputs, then based on that the software crunches some numbers, performs some logic, and gives the user an output in a nice & pretty format. It will also allow the user to view all the historical outputs in a clean sortable way.

The whole stack so far has been built in wordpress, and the backend guy insists it is best to stay that route. I have floated the possibility of a more traditional MVC web framework (rails, node/express, laravel) however they say it's best to stick to wordpress.

Do you think all things considered this is a good strategy? In terms of scale we of course hope we get to the point of having 1000s or 10,000s of active users and will continue to build out new features based on feedback we get.

What would be the pros/cons of each option (wordpress vs MVC web framework) for an idea like this? Thanks so much guys
There actually is a search text feature, it's just not that easy to find. Type the text into the url bar, and then scroll down all the way to the bottom after the auto complete suggestions and it will let you view matches on the page. (really shitty location for it)
I haven't seen speed benchmarks or anything like that, but out of the six browsers on my computer (Chrome, Vivaldi, Waterfox, Firefox, Tor, IE) I'd be using Waterfox if I wasn't so Google-dependent. It's fast, with a good UI, and somewhat less clunky than Firefox. Plus it's less likely than Chrome to be spying on me.

Let's Encrypt is brilliant and the web needs it but the tooling isn't quite there.

For example with haproxy you need the entire chain and private key together, which I have to do manually. As the API is open it's doable - I may even do something myself.

I can't wait until I have something that somebody else or I has written that, once the API is complete, you can stick in a cron job and does the concatenation and reloads haproxy/nginx/whatever. Until then the whole thing is beta.

It's not even the monetary aspect - i'd happily pay for certs, but LE is so on the way to making it a devop as opposed to a finance/ops thing that it needs to be encouraged. Donation incoming...
Prohibition will slowly ebb until it reaches a tipping point, just like it did with alcohol. We've already seen that the deleterious effects of cannabis are minimal. Heck, if I weren't one of the unlucky few on whom it has no effect, I'd probably use it too.
I agree, but that's not relevant to the story here, and is a personal opinion, which is why I think you got voted down.

I'm not sure what you mean by "sanctioned". Trademark law is very specific and this lawsuit is entirely about the logo on the website. I'm not aware of any law that could prevent someone from going to a restaurant, buying food, and delivering it to whomever they wish.

It's really hard to tell just from symptoms whether it is mental or physical. And from your explanation, it sounds like you're saying it was from stress (i.e. mental), but caused physical effects (reduced cortisol, etc). It's well known that stress causes these effects. I'm not sure it's helpful calling it either physical or mental. Psychosomatic is the correct term, but it is widely misunderstood (most people think it means "imaginary"). Perhaps functional is the best term to use.

As for treatment: what exactly is compacted thyroid, and how would it help with cortisol? The low cortisol in chronic stress is central in nature (due to changes in the brain), so how would any of your treatments change your brain?

Bear in mind that psychiatric interventions and have been proven to treat low cortisol, so it could just be the lifestyle changes you made that resulted in improvement.

On one of the Debug[1] podcasts (I can't remember which one now), Don Melton[2] claims the decision to not allow other web rendering engines or Javascript implementations is because they don't know how to allow those and keep iOS secure, and that is the reason behind a lot of limitations enforced in iOS.

Apple is certainly more closed than Microsoft ever was. The difference in perception is likely because Apple has never had a monopoly. There are more Android phones than iOS.

Installer 5,55MB, installed size: 20,6MB. That's not pico, more like mili- or centi- as compared to uTorrent.
For comparison, another open source bit-torrent client Halite (https://github.com/Eoinocal/Halite) weighs at 2,34MB (installer) and 12MB installed.

Installer didn't even ask where I want to install it and did not display any success message, informing about successful installation. Needs more install options for power users. Also portable (zip) version would be a big plus.

More comments more, maybe, because PicoTorrent fails to work in Sandboxie.
Heh, wow. I should turn my brain on. Yeah, those would be good reasons.

IAAL.

This list is not really complete, but you are wrong because doordash doesn't use in-n-out's logo.
They use an imitation logo.

Otherwise, they use only text, which falls under nominative fair use.

The only question is one of "are they suggesting sponsorship or endorsement by the trademark holder".

The answer is "maybe".

But that's easy to solve, put a note at the top that says that deliveries are performed by doordash, and not by the merchant.

Note: This is all just about the logo question. There are other issues like "control over your brand", etc. But they would not be covered by a logo lawsuit ;-)
It's not changing what you copy, rather when you highlight that, it's also selecting text that you can't see because it's been positioned outside of the viewport.
Anyone with more perspective care to provide more details? I thought employees were always able to sell their non-public shares as long as the company consented. So I'm not clear why this bill would be a windfall when compared to the status quo.
TL;DR: First steps to a new type of PUF.

What follows is my definitely-not-expert analysis. I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.

=====
Before
=====

Traditional PUFs are considered "unclonable" because they rely on uncontrollable manufacturing variation. It's not that it's impossible to create a function which gives the same output (so, they're not really unclonable), it's that the function implemented by each chip's PUF is different, and reverse engineering it requires very expensive and invasive physical inspection of minute characteristics of each part of each chip's PUF. So, cloning is very difficult and expensive, and all this work would only get you one chip's clone.

This is usually good enough, because PUFs are (AFAIK) generally used[1] primarily to make each known good chip uniquely identifiable. If the manufacturer has a set of known challenge-response pairs for all chips they've ever made, counterfeiting[2] becomes virtually impossible. The best you can do is clone some authentic chip. If you just make your own chip, the manufacturer's DB doesn't contain your challenge-response pairs and you'll be found out. If you clone a chip, then first you have to buy each chip you wish to clone (so why bother counterfeiting?), then do expensive, invasive reverse engineering, then program your clone, and the end result is a clone of a chip you already have, and which appears to be older than the chip really is, not newer.

=====
Now
=====

This work seems to be the first steps for a smaller, "more unclonable" PUF. Supposedly, their PUF is so dependent on nanoscale properties that the sort of invasive physical investigation you would typically do now almost certainly modifies the function implemented. I think it's not about relying on the uncertainty principle: if it were, then the output of the PUF would not be deterministic, which is not what you want! Oh, and their PUF should be more compact than other PUFs (in terms of bits/μm2).

=====
So what
=====

I'm not really sure why this is in BBC News. PUFs are nothing new. The article touts the potential applications of PUFs, but doesn't explain how this construction is novel. I guess it's just a fluff piece to show their British readers that, "Hey, we're on the cutting edge of technology!"

[1] I suspect PUFs are also used to in Apple's newer iPhones as the "UID": input to a KDF for wrapping crypto keys, but this is pure speculation.

[2] The main kinds of counterfeits I hear people wanting to use PUFs to combat are a) unauthorized spins (the fab just makes more chips and sells them on the side), b) rebranded old chips (pop off a chip from some discarded electronics, sand the surface, print a new serial number, and present it as new), and c) actual counterfeit chips (entirely new designs purporting to implement the same functionality as some other chip).
Offtopic, but what is the CSS trick they are using to handle zoom? I've got JS disabled and when I zoom the page the spammy sidebars vanish. I am not familiar with this and it references 18 CSS files, making it tedious to dig through the source.
You are still missing some of the finer points of the controversy.

The JS issue is more complicated than "just let $browser engine in". One complicating factor is JIT Javascript compilation. My understanding is that Apple applies DEP to unblessed applications on iOS, which precludes apps not so blessed from employing JIT compilation/optimization. And, predictably, only Apple apps are blessed.

So, yes, sometimes things Apple does, it does to suppress competition. Some things it does, it does for security. (There are many other reasons for what it does.)

I know this isn't going to change any minds. But claiming Apple is pulling a Microsoft with Safari for competitive reasons, I believe, is rather missing the point. I mean, I suppose you could say Apple wanted a reason to keep other engines off iOS and so came up with DEP as an excuse, but imputing motives that way isn't a terribly great way to go through life.

And… if you don't like the walled garden, just jailbreak your phone. It isn't that hard. Of course, then you're on your own, but that's what you say to want.
I personally do web stuff in GUI with a mouse (I have vimium chrome extension, but old habits die hard) and select text by multitap: 60% of the time it works all the time. When it does not work I just drag-select and paste to terminal. Seems rather safe, as this does not work on this example.

tripple-tap on both urls give "git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kup/kup.git" (with the exception that the first one contains a newline), and in such cases I am too lazy to reselect and just prepend the url with muscle memory git clone.
I don't think any of the current open-source forks are ready for production.

The oldest one is Postgres-X2 [1] (formerly Postgres-XC), a project sponsored by NTT. It implements fully consistent multimaster replication and partitioning. After many, many years apparently still isn't production-ready, and it seems to have a significant scalability bottleneck that's tied to its design. Another issue is that being a fork, it has to be continually updated from the mainline. It's currently based on 9.3.

Postgres-XL [2] is apparently a merger of Postgres-XC and a different implementation called StormDB that was bought by a small company called TransLattice. (TransLattice also sponsored or acquired an earlier project that went nowhere, Postgres-R.) Unlike XC/X2, they say they aim to contribute changes back to the mainline, and they also claim their distributed query model is superior.

With the commerical support behind it (it's used as the basis of a commercial product), it's possible that this is something that will be usable. Unfortunately, it seems very quiet and not very open-sourcy; most of the development seems to be by just one guy [3], and nobody seems to be using it in production at this point.

The US has major geographical and natural resource advantages that make it a superpower. We fared well after WW2 for a number of reasons, not just because we lost no infrastructure and relatively few soldiers.

Look at Japan, Germany, the UK, and France now. They were devastated (both infrastructure and population-wise) and now they are among the strongest economies in the world, coming in behind the US and China at numbers 3,4,5,6 respectively in terms of nominal GDP.

Just as forest fires burn down old trees and put nutrients back into the soil to spur new growth, so does war force countries to rebuild and rethink.

I'm not advocating for war, but it's a much more defensible thesis in my opinion (large temporary increase in aggregate demand, large permanent decrease in labor supply), much more so than increased vacation time.
So, why doesn't everybody get to decide for themselves? It's pretty obvious that opinions differ, so people should be able to modify some simple setting on where their preferences lie in this respect. "locked down", "open for selected classes of apps", "open" or something like that.
except they presumably pay for their own PR and don't have a monopoly of force, unlike the Gov.
