They're the real deal. If you go to their main store on Valencia you can see where they make the chocolate. It's the big open space that's directly behind the counter you order at. They regularly offer tours where you get a chance to see all of the steps involved. I took one of their tours a few years ago and we were even able to try the unroasted cocoa beans.

Unfortunately, because they buy and process relatively small batches of beans you might not be able to get more of a bar you really enjoy. Even if you see one with the same origin as a bar you've had before it might not be exactly the same since different batches may use different roasting parameters.

I've had good luck offering them a free trial for a couple weeks to a month to see what they think. That way they can tangibly see if it will offer a benefit ahead of time rather than making them pay for something they might not end up using. It is also a good way to see if our personalities mesh as that is probably the most important factor in a good office mate.
I had not known about your product, but a quick look at the walkthrough video was very useful.
Really sorry that it did not work out, the product did come across as being very polished from a UI/workflow perspective. I know this must be a rough time, so chin up, and all the very best for whatever you folks plan to do next.

As the article notes, this is often replacing cases where a 403 error would instead be served.

This is because censorship is almost never global—instead, it's because something about your request (often, your country of origin) forbids you from receiving it.

In that context, 451 makes perfect sense.

In particular, just as the body of a 404 or 403 response can provide information to the client about how to make the request successfully (e.g. "did you mean one of these?" or "you need to log in", respectively), the body of a 451 response could suggest what the client could do to make the request successfully (e.g. "please try again from a less broken jurisdiction or over a more secure path").

Ah, you replied to me just as I found it. I think the README should hint that the code is in the book ;)
I was big into OS dev when Mach was coming around but I was a newbie. I read all the Mach papers with stars in my eyes, it all sounded so good. I wasn't alone in getting drawn in by the research papers.

I went to Sun and learned how a kernel could work and could perform and the allure of Mach, for me, started to wane. Reading the mach code made it worse, especially compared to the Sun code.

All these years later, I remain underwhelmed. Linux has a nicer VM system, performs better, and is more readable. Not Sun level readable by any stretch, but better than my memory of mach (which, to be fair, is in the distant past).

If someone can point to actual real world data that shows Mach to be better performing on the same hardware I'd be interested in seeing that, I tend to think that's not possible.

If you want to see what a real microkernel done right looks like, go look at QNX before they added the POSIX conformance. You have 4-5 people logged into an 80286 doing work. Very, very light weight and well done. They were the only guys that understood what the "micro" in microkernel meant. I remember Dan Hildebrandt telling me that the microkernel easily fit in a 4K instruction cache (it pretty much had to, it didn't do much so you needed some space for whatever it was dispatching).
If that's how you want to interpret it.
Could it perhaps be that there are things people need that can't be bought?

Hacker news is pretty depressing.
I wonder about the applicability of this status code to 'friendly' blocking. In my workplace, as in many others, we have a web proxy that blocks certain requests for security or policy reasons. I would like it if the vendor implemented something like this for its capture page, as it'd make it easier to identify where requests are blocked and why in various logs. In particular, user-agents could tell the user when a request is blocked for this reason, which would be more robust than the HTML message it returns and would make help-desk operations a lot easier - "this thing doesn't work and I get a browser notice about blocking," instead of "this thing doesn't work" and then having to dig through logs.

Just a thought about applications for this beyond the obvious (but less common in the US) state censorship - it can be seen as a technical help for making sure security and policy controls are clearly communicated to machines as well as people, which makes it easier to figure out when those controls are overbroad.
It's not like they give you 100k RSUs automatically each year, but I think the math tends to average out so that that is basically what is happening.

For instance you may get 100k-150k initial allotment and suppose you get promoted in 18-24 months, they will likely give you a refresher of 150k-225k plus whatever bump you got on your salary. It's also important to note that the refreshers don't have the one year cliff of your initial grant, it starts vesting immediately.
I didn't do quite as much research for this one, but here's CDC's "leading causes of death" table for 2013.[1]

#1 for 25-34: unintentional injury with 16,209 deaths.

#2 for 25-34: suicide, 6,348 deaths (but if you don't engage in risky behavior, you wouldn't commit suicide, right?)

#3 for 25-34, homicide, 4,236 deaths - the vast majority of these are _not_ in mass-shooting incidents, of course.

#4 is cancer (3,673 deaths) and #5 is heart disease (3,258 deaths).

By the way, for felony homicides, the majority (69.1%) are perpetrated against a single victim[2].

This was a fantastic post. Granted the high-level view skirts very technical aspects of Tor, this post is perfect for laypeople who hear about "Tor" and ask about it.
Bad advice. And by advice I mean this is an ad.
I think that one was real, actually.
That seems less likely to arise in practice, though. A server should only respect such requests from a jurisdiction that can threaten the server; thus, "we can't serve you this because your jurisdiction forbids it (but ours doesn't)" should almost never arise. The only potentially useful case there seems like "if we didn't remove this, your jurisdiction would block our entire site, eliminating the opportunity for us to tell you what has gone wrong and how to fix it".

"We can't serve you this because our jurisdiction forbids it" seems likely to arise more often.

That said, I also don't think the 4xx/5xx distinction matters as much here as the evocative implication of using 451 specifically.
I have very mixed feelings about this.

This seems like a very weird pricing strategy on the one hand and a very weird charitable strategy on the other.

Frankly, the last thing poor people need is free access to high-end stock trading tools so they can piss away their money on losers and transaction fees.

Hi,

I'm the founder of Tiingo and just saw a huge influx of users! Thank you HN!

I 100% agree with you. The podcasts are there for educational purposes and I try my best to emphasize the limits of quantitative modeling and backtesting. I was a former quant trader and saw experienced people make the same mistakes.

My goal on the site is therefore give tools, but not recommendations. It's the reason I don't associate with brokerages either, I want the data to be unbiased as possible.

My hope is that newcomers and experienced individuals alike come onboard and listen to the podcasts that emphasize just this.

In terms of pricing strategy, I will be enforcing a minimum $1/month floor coming in the next couple weeks.

But either way, people deserve so much better and I'm going to try my best to make sure the tools and information remain intellectually honest.

Don't look for a cofounder. Just start working. The farther along you get, the more prepared you will be for the "opportunity"... if/when a good potential cofounder comes along. Some people call this luck.

I recently used Wine on Ubuntu and was amazed how smoothly it just worked. Download an msi Windows installer and open it just like you would in Windows. The program installs just like on Windows, and runs from its own icon just like in Windows. You hardly need to think about the fact that it's not Windows. Understandably there were a few compatibility problems but having it so well integrated into the UI was a surprise. It's perhaps almost good enough that you don't need to port your Windows application to Linux anymore. Just avoid the broken functionality. As a Windows programmer, I now keep Wine compatibility in mind when deciding to use new features and libraries and will be trying to remove incompatible code.
That is all out west, where water resources are limited and altitude is very, very, very high. You can't grow much at 3000+ meters, even if you had all the water in the world!

I absolutely got tired of eating meat in north Xinjiang since they couldn't grow anything out there.

So here is China's topography. East China is mostly mountains. You can grow things in the occasional valley and plains. Or you can terrace the mountains (done in Japan also). West China is more higher mountains (but not so scrunched together as in east China), and very high plains (Litang is a city in Sichuan at 5000 meters). The occasional agriculture still happens (e.g. central Xinjiang), but its mostly desolate.

At our company back in the time we chose to prioritize Delphi as the development language of choice because of compile times (the alternative competing was C++).

Too bad the Delphi team was not able to find a business model that was able to scale their user base (probably some kind of subscription at the price range of JetBrains subscription was needed). Now are now looking back into C++ (and its much longer compile times).
Others already commented on the whole idea, but I wanted to add:

> I currently have one app in the app store and I'm active in open-source, however I still feel a little too green to start applying yet.

So here's the reality: a lot of people who apply for jobs the first time don't know how to program, they don't know what opensource is, could not create and publish an app to save their lives, and definitely don't have experience collaborating with others. Compared to many people applying for their first programming job, you're overqualified. You can likely find a job that's not at entry level at this point - just present your skills and current OS contributions.

i'll give you a recent anecdote

i was working on a project where i needed to convert linear motion into rotational motion

i was working through some schemes and though functional by design they were failing in the real world scenarios i was building for

frustrated i sat down for a break and doped up on some hn for a bit

this post came up:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10714048

i clicked through and was surprised by how much i enjoyed the lists found within,

so i clicked on the portrait in the corner to learn more about the person putting the lists together

this led me to this page:

http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~hooft101/

an almost goofy early web days personal page of this nobel prize winning physicist

while scrolling though the personal page, clicking on random things and skimming through them, i came across an animation in the 'unpublished works' section

i looked at it for a second and thought.. is that a rotational motion being converted into a linear motion?

i searched for 'Peaucellier–Lipkin linkage' and found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D30iFxhJTQA

and there it was, linear to rotational motion and much more robust than the other efforts i was attempting

i built it and it worked

i've since designed out the need for the conversion but it was an important step along the way in the build

i'd err away from the charge to 'get to work' and suggest one instead: 'enjoy yourself'
Meh, sounds lazy to me!

> I'm not sure who you guys think you're arguing against.

Sometimes I forget that hackernews has a slightly more intelligent user-base. Unfortunately, I participate on reddit as well, and there, political supporters have a slightly naive view of how politics and the government works (that's putting it nicely). Sometimes I confuse the two websites.

> So even in regards to your opinion your only real candidate is Bernie. He's the only one talking about political revolution, which is what would be necessary for real change.

Well, real change means electing the right congressmen. To up-end our current republic, the first-past-the-post system, and to reform campaign finance requires electing senators who would do just that.

If Bernie wins the nomination, he's definitely getting my vote. Unfortunately, that's a near impossibility. And he also said he wouldn't run against Hillary if she wins the nomination. Bernie recognizes the fact that he would damage the party and take votes away from Hillary if he runs as an independent. He's a pragmatic & logical man and understands that a Clinton presidency is orders of magnitude better for our country than a Bush or Trump presidency. It's simply the lesser of all the evils.

And unless you run for office yourself, it's always, always going to be choosing between the "least evil" because no candidate will represent your views 100% unless, again, you run yourself.
CISA was probably the least controversial part of this bill. The real controversy was the budget itself; the bill involves Ryan surrendering the ability to freeze the government with future budget bills until almost after the next election. The GOP has been using that ability on and off for the last 6 years.

In message board land, the fact that the bill was finalized in the middle of the night is evidence that The Man is trying to sneak CISA past us. In reality, nobody in Congress cares about CISA; that's a done deal. It's the budget they're being sneaky about.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that CISA (and a bunch of other random stuff in the budget bill) had been scheduled to go through on the budget bill for weeks.

Side note: Scaleway is very popular for those running Tor relays.

A quick review of current Tor relay nodes reveals at least 44 relays already on Scaleway (most of the exit nodes there seem to have gone away):

http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/index.php?SR=Bandwidth&SO=Desc

Scaleway gives C1 instances unmetered 100mbps connections (for 3 bucks a month!), and a single tor process can push about 50mbps out of the hardware. This means that Scaleway could be pushing a constant 2200mbps of Tor traffic.

Although it's nice they're providing bandwidth to the Tor Project for a fraction of the 95th percentile mbps cost, it isn't financially sustainable (unmetered 100mbps for $3/month is insane) and it doesn't help the diversity of the Tor network.
