Until you understand that anyone can be Hitler, you don't understand.

Have you ever listened to his speeches, man? As in like, really listened?

Go ahead, try it sometime. Claw your soul and your beating heart out through your very eardrums, he will.

His talents in that realm were clearly from another plane. Lots of people (perhaps millions) have wanted to "be" the next Hitler. But in terms of sheer charisma and persuasiveness, they just didn't have the juice.
Your first programming language doesn't have to be a practical language, and it doesn't have to be powerful. Small languages which allow students to master the entirety of the language are a better tool for building confidence and teaching elementary ideas like sequence, variables and iteration. For the first steps of dipping your toes into programming, BASIC is better than Python. An ideal curriculum will expose students to a progression of languages as they outgrow the limits of each environment.
why sell it to the cab companies when you can keep more money from the ride to your self?

Curb (app) tried to do this and it looks like cab companies aren't ready to let go of their control yet.

I agree with mikeash (and the gp) on this one: I'm looking to exchange money for services, not get into some kind of grudge-standoff with a stranger.
Nobody said it was same project and it would be orthogonal to others. My claim is redoing POSIX will likely fail while first doing a Rust runtime for seL4 kernel is much easier and straightforward to use. Essentially, like Nizza security architecture or MILS kernels but with Rust for apps that run directly on microkernel.
I think that's a fair question.
I'd say yes, if done right.
Sounds like the beginning of an urban legend. The truth of the matter is that Facebook engineering is getting bloated just like all other big companies and their apps crash not because they're testing user loyalty but because their code is just shitty.
Speaking for myself here, but it seems like most of the criticism of Uber being "exploitative" comes from people who don't use the service.

Personally, I don't want to be an employee. I already put up with that mess at my day job. I want to click a button on the app when I want to drive, get the person where they're going, sign off, and have no other obligations aside from that.

Simple, fast, and easy. No wonder the government had to intervene.

(Yes, I am slightly bitter.)
Doesn't anyone else think it is odd that all these stories have started to appear in the last few day? It is almost like Google is planning something known within Facebook and Facebook is trying to send Google a message that they have a back up plan. Anytime I read articles with sources who are "off the record" it makes me wonder.
Yes, that part is definitely unacceptable.
I'm Not Dead Yet: The nineteenth-century obsession with premature burial
I've had breadboards like his react to air flow. Those cheap ones especially have such horrible connections that the slightest motion of flimsy part like a resistor or LED wagging in the breeze will cause a significant change in impedance where the leads meet the contacts.

Since this signal is dependent upon the series resistance, the output could vary as a result.
Derp. I meant to say I never had the DVD service. I only ever had streaming! That screwed the entire meaning of my response and it's too late to edit! oops :-\

If I played DFS and I got matched up against pros I would be pretty angry. They make it seem like you are going to be matched up against people just like you, but you aren't. You're matched up against pros, because they submit thousands of lineups so they can maximize their chances of playing against as many non-pros as possible.

It's like going to your weekly office poker game and, after losing, discovering that you're actually playing against pros, not your coworkers. And to make it worse, the pros are doing this in hundreds of games all at the same time!

If you had bothered to read the article, this would have been apparent.
stupid article, sounds like those retarded reptilian conspiracy theorist garbage.

none of those north korean government propaganda relies on racial purity or superiority, not even implicitly, the Juche ideology has nothing to do with race. The divinity of a ruler is, I think, culturally influenced. "Kim on a solar halo" does not imply a sun god.
We need a version using my custom Monokai theme ASAP! ;)
None of us have experience with rump kernels, but I'd be very interested in seeing what is needed to make that work. Right now the drivers we're writing are parameterized over hardware-access with traits. If a rump-ready driver could work in that existing framework, that'd be ideal.
Hmm. Signed up, but not sure if I'll follow through the one free month.

Exactly this. It is downright appalling every time I see someone from a place of privilege declare what's best for the unprivileged. All this vitriol against FreeBasics is exactly that. Until I see a mass of extremely poor indians with no internet access reject FreeBasics because they don't want facebook to have their "data", all this hate is just self-serving bluster in my eyes.

Don't forget, when you use these transitions, that computation is a very small fraction of the animation as it's run once by the CPU. You can think of it as setting a uniform on a shader.

The other reason I like using analytic functions is because:
1) You can easily generate a linearly interpolated point set if you want, I've done it for CSS in stylus (for spring animations that can't be represented by a single bezier).
2) With the right formulation, it's very easy to tweak the shape as it is in this case
3) You can analyze the functions easily
And for the Rust half, that's exactly what's in our roadmap and introduction :) Robigo (the POSIX environment) is a long-term stretch goal so that I can run my own OS on a RISC-V laptop of my own devising and still run traditional UNIX programs like GNU. I think we're in violent agreement.

Counter-point: once in Chicago a n00b Uber driver who didn't speak much English drove onto the bridge that had "Under Construction" signs, construction equipment and those orange barrels all over the place. Only my frantic yelling from the back convinced him to disregard GPS and go "custom route".
> It's a reasonable seeming law, yes, just as the categorical imperative is - but what if your culture says that the more skulls you collect, the better a person you are? It's easy to define a law in isolation from social pressures which defy that law. Take the inquisition - by burning hereticks you saved their souls, and this was therefore good - so do as you would be done by applies, even if it comprises an auto da fé.

I think the point is this--if the skull collector became the source of a skull, or the burner became a heretic, they would probably stop thinking those were "good" practices (due to the suffering and death and such), so those acts wouldn't satisfy the "do as you would be done by" rule. Even when those deemed heretics were part of the culture at the time, it's doubtful they thought "oh well, I guess this is the right thing to do".

Right now, karma on Reddit is worth even less than it is on HN. Comment votes don't count towards your primary score!

That said, it's a weird position. HN is pretty much the same in structure as Reddit, only with (intentionally) worse UI. It doesn't make discussions shit. Yes, the common advice of "try other subreddits" is the key. Many topical subreddits have HN-quality discussions on them, and are frequented by experts in their particular domains. Those subreddits are probably one of the most trustworthy places on the Internet. You just have to check them out instead of judging everything in light of areas meant for the general population.
Can you elaborate? I might have been having problems with PHP for 10 years without even knowing it didn't run!

He actually did state exactly that:

Very sad to see even a medical professional take the tack that "serve and protect" is not the police's task anymore.
Which makes searching for tech jobs in Seattle quite annoying. For many aggregated searches, those thousands of placeholder reqs crowd out anyone else. Indeed, at least has Amazon avoidance syntax e.g. "not company:Amazon".

There's the meta-issue that tech hiring in Seattle seems to be comprised of the big 3 or 4 (GoogAmaSoft) and lots of small potatoes startups, of whom most seem to be doing ad tech.
"China's not one of them"
(Disclosure: one of the authors here)

I don't think CAT can be used to partition kernel and userspace -- I'm not even sure how you'd go about doing that given that you can (and do) have shared pages between them.

That being said, from our experiments, if you're using userspace network and NVMe drivers the context switch and associated cache pollution is not a problem, since it is happening pretty infrequently (primarily just timer interrupts, and those can be turned off, but we haven't needed to).
That's good advice. Find a niche basically.

It don't think it works for every career though. Being good or even being the most skilled at a niche. Musicians and actors, any job that has as much to do with popularity as with skill. Very few make it and the ones that do, don't seem better than most of the ones that dont.

I have been listening to enough open mic nights and small time bar gigs to think so. Its sad really, how many talented musicians there is in this world that never make it. Music that gives you the chills. And then you put on the radio and its an endless stream of crap.

My career advice would be, don't get into anything that requires popularity. Its a cruel world out there.
I once called a taxi (not in US), the operator said it will arrive in 5 minutes. About 20 minutes pass, and I get a call from the operator saying that the driver can't find my street and asks me if I can walk a few minutes to one of the larger, more well known streets.

So after 10 more minutes the driver finally finds me on a street corner and I enter the car - the GPS device (which would have guided him right to my doorstep) is installed but shut down and unused. I ask the driver why he didn't use the GPS, and he manages to tell me with a straight face that he doesn't need it because he knows all the streets in town.

I was literally left speechless for the entire ride.
I’ll just briefly say that I disagree. I believe that my development and education as a programmer was severely hampered by BASIC’s lack of functions, and I would not wish it on anyone else.

Python has many obvious separate levels of learning it. At first, one could learn line-by-line coding, as done in the interactive interpreter, gradually moving into loops. Then, one could spend a long time with functions, dipping deeper and deeper into data types, sequences, recursion, etc. Only after this could one even mention classes and object oriented programming. There is no reason to assume that one would need to learn all of Python all at once.

A good language is also a language which allows its users to grow, not a toy language which teaches its users the futility of ever trying to accomplish anything serious, which is precisely the feeling I got from BASIC.
I think a great documentary that explores this territory (but within the context of Indonesia) is The Act of Killing [1]. It can be hard to watch because it lays bare the banality of "evil". No cackling madmen or volcano fortresses, just ordinary-seeming people who committed mass murder while still believing themselves to be just.

Makes me again wish for a proper Emacs mode for Reddit (and HN; I'm thinking about writing it if I ever get out of current avalanche of commitments).

I've been IRCing from Emacs for many years; most of the people around look at my screen (and tiny font) and have no clue whatsoever about what I am doing. Sometimes the screen shows code, sometimes my notes or contents of a folder, other times an IRC or IM window, and it all looks the same.

> You are being a pedantic jerk

"DH0. Name-calling. This is the lowest form of disagreement"

> Are you against hospitals too? Deaths in hospitals have skyrocketed since they were invented.

"DH1. Ad Hominem."

Good job, you've hit the bottom of the disagreement heirarchy. In my mind my responses are all on the level of DH4 and DH5. If I have failed to do that, please provide specific examples because I strive to disagree well and wish to improve.

> Here are some more reasonable discussions of the issue:

Neither of those are discussions of the issue at hand, which is the number of deaths due to cars. Nowhere, except in replies that attack a strawman argument, was the safety of driving a point of debate. I have even stated elsewhere that I agree that driving has gotten safer (though I do dispute that fatalities per distance is an ideal metric for measuring that since it is also affected by usage patterns in addition to safety).

I have made solid, non-pedantic points about the effect of using different metrics and what types of interventions will show up in those metrics.

If you are talking about traffic safety (say vs air travel or between countries), fatalities per distance is one of several applicable metrics (fatalities per trip being another).

If you are talking about traffic deaths, as a overall source of risk (say vs terrorism) then fatalities per capita is a more correct metric.

This is not a pedantic point, this is a very important point that is key to the discussion that you seem to be avoiding.
The way that story played out is that people hooked on AOL validated the concept and paved the way for broadband and Web as we know it, so not sure how it's illustrative of the issues with Internet.org.

I thought it was utterly obvious that a monopoly should provide and service the local infrastructure. Would you also like free market roads? How about the electrical grid? Water? Sewage? Local infrastructure isn't a fungible commodity. If it were then traffic jams and blackouts wouldn't be a thing. Also, local demand isn't scalable. You only need one road outside your house. Several competing roads would be horribly underutilized on the low end of scale. On the high end you're maybe onto something. Private bridges and freeways may be a decent idea. Private airlines certainly are. But then you're right back to what I'm advocating.

My point was actually that when the inherently monopolistic aspect is factored out the free market can flourish. This is how it works in Europe. Governments provide the "last mile" connectivity. ISPs compete to provide access to the outside world. This competition isn't possible if the local infrastructure is owned by an ISP. They are incentivized to shut down the free market and reap their monopolistic rewards. They lock down their infrastructure. This creates a huge barrier to entry. They can then: Overcharge. Inspire competition. Crush them with their accumulated capital. Overcharge... Anyone attempting to compete is necessarily constructing redundant infrastructure. The "zero government involvement" thing actually hinders the free market here. Our road system enables tremendous free market enterprise. If retailers had to pay a road cartel for the right to do business it would be a disaster. Walmart would take over the roads and overpower anything it cared to which depended on them. Basically what Facebook is trying to do in India.

Their app has been crashing constantly since day 1. On high speed wifi, my newsfeed regularly takes upwards of 10 seconds to load, and the iOS app crashes like a drunk. They do some truly hard things, and coupled with their "move fast and break things" ethos... well they end up with some stability issues. I'm not sure its an issue of bloat though.

Scott says:
1. Become the best at one specific thing.
2. Become very good (top 25%) at two or more things.

You raise a fascinating point. Following Scott's format.
I wonder if a person can:
1. be the very best musician.
2. Be very good at networking (top 25%) or playing at events .

Now my question to you, petke. With those two things, would any person wanting to be a musician be a successful musician?
Hollywood films pretty-much make their money or not in the first few years. Giving them extended copyright is ridiculous.
Yeah, a lot of people have jobs that suck.
I love this advice, and it took me a while to figure out that for me the intersection is Developer Advocacy. Math, software, public speaking, writing, comedy, business = Dev Advocate at a bitcoin company. I'm not great at any of them individually, but good enough at all of them to make a great Developer Advocate. Took a while to convince someone to take a risk on me (I had a technical Biz Dev/PM background prior to my current job) but finally got a company to interview me the right way...they had me present to 20 bitcoin devs about their API as part of the process, and I happily can say I knocked it out of the park. Barring any sudden discovery of me as a stand-up comedian/writer (unlikely at this point) I'm very very happy to make a long, fruitful career of this role.

Anyway, TL;DR: there are always ways to combine software with other skills. The hard part is finding the role that incorporates all of them (whether you invent it as a founder or join someone else).
Can you summarize how is it different from Herbivore, Dissent, Riposte and Vuvuzela? Well, especially Riposte, as it is a system where users post their messages via N servers out of which K servers should be trusted. It seems like Riposte can be easily adopted for this use case. Operators can decide to de-anonymize messages and consensus of any K operators is enough.
Probably but not by Netflix. By doing this to Netflix it ensures their service will be more expensive, or that content will simply disappear and people will get from 10 different website of whoever owns and decides to run their own appstore and media streaming service.
Data source?
A key logger would require both an USB input and output.

However, the idea of a backdoor delivery is interesting. You could e.g. have a switch for the three major platforms (Linux, Win, OS X) wired to GPIO, and then use flaws in USB descriptor parsing (or in drivers) to hijack the machine automatically. Or just have it emulate a disk drive and rely on automounting together with a virtual keyboard to run commands.
