No, jaywalking just means you walked across the road where it wasn't allowed. The road can be empty, with a low speed limit, and enough distance to safely cross without any car getting to you. That's pretty much when I run across the road. I also find intersections are more unpredictable in less-dense, areas than crossing about 20-30 yds away from it. Crash data supports my point about intersections.

So, safety risk is low and I'm a criminal anyway. How to not be a criminal? Stop traffic and reduce others' productivity using the crossing lights. What a choice... So, I just kneel down, keep looking back and forth, wait for traffic to be nonexistent, and then sprint across the road far from intersection. Has benefit of conveying to cops watching that I was playing it careful while saving everyone else a stop. Tested it in front of a few cops with success. :)
Arbitrary requests to localhost aren't permitted, unless the page itself is on localhost. (Just as evil.com can't make arbitrary requests to google.com.) That said, there's a bunch of exceptions. They don't really matter here: the bug reported showed than an exploit was possible with a GET request, and you don't need AJAX to make a GET request. A <script> or an <img> tag is, under the hood, a GET request. Taking the second case (making a GET request through an <img> tag), the response likely won't be an image, so it won't display, but we don't know that until long after the request has executed, so it's too late.

You'd have to restrict where images can come from (people wouldn't be able to use CDNs?), where scripts come from (a lot of sites load jQuery from Google), you couldn't allow JS redirects. You'd have to forbid JS from automatically submitting <forms>. CSS on odd domains. Webfonts. Videos, audio. I'm sure there are things I'm missing.

Back on the AJAX side of things, JS can make GET requests through AJAX. The server has to send back a special header for the script to get the response, but if it doesn't, the request is still executed. (The idea being that, since you can execute GET requests using any of the aforementioned methods, allowing JS to do it isn't going to allow anything new. GET also isn't supposed to have side effects like this buggy endpoint has … GET was an extremely poor choice here.)

More arbitrary requests are permitted, but only under the condition explicitly allows them with what is called a preflight request. (Note that GET isn't the only exception to preflighting, see [1].)

Personally, I won't trust those AV software which are free but claims themselves have FULL function. There is no free lunch in the world. Sometimes, we make jokes on Qihoo 360, we say itself is already a virus. A lot of pop-ups, consuming computing resources. It is very annoying!
Once interviewed with a company writing the web interface for users with these devices.

Them: So as you can see here, we have a user in Florida who had 3 hard brakes and an excess speed reading in the past month.

Me: Interesting.

Them: Ooops. Clicked wrong button. She's going to have reset her password next time she logs in.

Me: That was an actual user?

Them: Yes, that's the live system.

They told me they were popular with drivers looking for a discount with online insurers.
Ghost in the machine: screen contents across reboots in a Macbook Pro Retina
It's probably a combination of things... The medical robotics companies have always raised pretty healthily. The drone companies are seeing a lot of traction, as are some of the consumer robot companies.

But probably the biggest contributing factor: Major companies like Google, Toyota, and Amazon are spending $Billions each year on robotics efforts... and there are surprisingly few robotics startups for them to draw from. VCs are starting to realize that there are probably some real winners out there, and are actually embracing hardware again.
Thanks for the summary. I'd like to add a couple of salient points to it.

1. The insidious nature of the DoJ rules allows the DoJ to target "risky" industries (with no need to pass new laws), such that companies in those industries can't get a bank account, making it hard or impossible for them to do business. This helps the DoJ to push out industries it doesn't like, using the banks to do its dirty work.

2. It's much worse than it sounds, being required to "provide business documentation". Being classified as an MSB would force the account holder to implement an anti-money laundering program that is subject to independent review, and possibly report transactions of a certain range of values. For a personal bank account? This is, frankly, an egregious abuse of the law.

Ahh, I see how there is a potential for abuse in those cases. Here in Fiji, you'd pay for every SMS sent, and (since around 2010) prepaid SIM cards require registration with ID at point of purchase.

PureScript comes to mind. It takes a hybrid approach to handling side effects (such as console IO, AJAX requests, random number generation, etc.).

I'd recommend checking out Phil Freeman's article, which provides a nice overview along with many concrete examples [0]. Unless you've had prior exposure to Haskell, I wouldn't get too hung up on the syntax--but if you're curious, the PureScript learning resources are fantastic; I wish such resources existed when I was trying to learn Haskell! And frankly, these concepts require repeated exposure, practice, and some time to marinate in your brain before their usefulness/power become clear.

It should always be at the "bottom" of the screen. If the "bottom" doesn't match whatever the bottom of your app is, that's likely because the app is configure to only appear in landscape or portrait so it only responds to a large enough position change to trigger a 180-degree flip. Basically, this isn't as simple as it appears because of the potential interactions between app types and what the OS supports.

TL;DR: If you have a landscape only app, trigger the lock before you launch the app and it should stay in place.
I suppose. It's kind of hard to thank them when they blatantly mis-classified my personal bank account as one that needs to implement an anti-money laundering program, though.
Thats cool, your lucky with the z800, most of the other mainframes have "exotic" (aka 3 phase 277/480) power requirements. We had to pull power in our existing computer lab to run our MF. So, while its possible to order most mainframe equipment for single phase 208, it doesn't appear to be the default choice for the kinds of places that buy mainframes.

I settled for hercules at home, hell of a lot easier to manage, and is pretty fast given that its a fairly naive emulator (aka no JIT/tracing/etc). I think if the turbo hercules guys (or someone else) added a decent JIT, and solved the licensing problem IBM would be in a world of hurt. Although, maybe not, the few remaining customers aren't the kind to run their bank/airline/etc on a 10k piece of hardware and an open source emulator. Of course, I've been wondering for a few years what percentage of machines are being sold to development shops to support the limited number of real customers. That is why we purchased ours, to support real customers, not to run any actual work on it. Of course I've also heard that most of the business class machines are sold with tiny capacities, because they are simply hot fail-over targets. The assumption is that if something goes wrong at the primary site, someone calls up IBM and gets them to boost the capacity on the idle machine as the workload is shifting over.
The assets / paper that the Fed were buying in QE2 was pretty much anything banks wanted to throw at them. Though again, the auction element basically meant that less-utterly-grotty-stuff won out over the truly utterly grotty stuff, again, if I'm getting my story straight.

Inflation has to do with money chasing goods. All you've said is that "money wasn't chasing goods". Which gets us to two further questions:

1. Why wasn't that money chasing goods (or real, economically productive, investment opportunitys, by which I specifically exclude financial derivatives or simply "buying" tax sheltering).

2. What is that money chasing?

As I understand, the answers don't do much to make the situation any less bad.
Ask HN: Getting back to the tech industry after a three-year break
Hi HN,

This is going to be long, but please stick with me here..

My wife came to the US to do her MS in EE and graduated in 2011. After graduating, she started working at a company in the Bay Area, which wasn’t e-verified at the time, meaning that she could only work for 1 year on her student visa using OPT. To add to that, they botched her H-1B application, resulting in her employment with them terminating when OPT ended, which was by the end of 2012.

As a result, she was forced to go back to being a student for a year or so, after which we got married and she came back to the US on an H-4 visa. Thanks to the new H-4 EAD rule that was passed in 2015, she was able to obtain an EAD in September via my H-1B visa.

Now, she is legally allowed to work for any employer, but she just hasn’t been able to get any calls from any company that she’s applied to so far (both big companies and startups). All in all, she’s probably applied to 100+ companies over the last 6 months, but she hasn’t received a single call back.

Though she has an EE background through her MS, her work experience was in C++ and Matlab development, and she’s focused on sharpening her Java and Python development skills over the past year or two. She’s mainly been applying to Java and/or Python development positions, or just SW Developer positions in general.

Recently, there was an initiative by Braintree (http://hire.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Careers.aspx?nl=1&k=Job&j=owj61fwG&s=PPpage) that fit her profile to a T, but she received a reject from them as well.

At this point, we’re willing to try anything. Do you have any clues about why it is this hard to find a job? Is it the 3 year break? Her MS is from a decent school, she’s done several research projects and has a year of experience in the industry.. She also has a profile at CodeEval, and plans to continue solving problems there and keep coding every day.

Any advice and/or help will be sincerely appreciated.
Nice, gonna give it a try. Is there anything that the scene builder can do that scripting cant?
What are these 2 dozen other areas? I'm genuinely curious.
I wonder if one way to make better use of this data is to restrict what detail the insurance company can see. For example, you could imagine an arrangement where a third party vendor subject to strict controls gets the raw data and produces summarized scores, for example the frequency of hard brakes. Insurance companies would then only see these summaries, which could be challenged by customers, and can only vary premiums based on the summaries.

This article touched on the fact that additional information these sensors provide is interpreted in a traditional context.

"Early company surveys of people’s interest in usage-based insurance revealed that about 40% of people had a viewpoint that was some variation on “No way in hell.”

followed by

"Progressive concluded Snapshot was overestimating the potential for accidents from midnight to 4 a.m. driving on week nights, and now considers late-night driving to be high-risk only on weekends."

That's why people don't want to tell their insurance company anything more than the minimum. The insurance companies thought driving at night was risky and it wasn't until they had snapshot telling them that just because someone works 3rd shift isn't an inherently higher risk did they not pull their head out of their butt. So now, via snapshot they can offer competitive rates to people on 3rd shift whereas before they'd just have jacked the rates on the few that were unlucky enough to file a claim for something happening in the evening. Um, hooray?

You presumably live under the same regime, yet here you are, breathing and posting. Not at all rushing into gun barrels?

Don't extrapolate yourself to others. I have been in that situation, more than once, and it only ever imbued me with a ferocious will to live.

That's why mailing lists are great.

1. Okay, they don't address this, but that's a marginal advantage, easily outweighed by the advantages of asynchrony and distance agnosticism alone, never mind the benefits of re-use.

2. Mailing lists hit the nail on the head here, because you have the context in the discussion thread.

3. This is a big win for mailing lists with a good search function (such as that provided by Gmail). Sure, it's not as nice as having the information painstakingly organized by a subject matter expert, but as you say, the human effort required to do that organizing is not usually available, and having the information there and searchable is far better than not having it.
Do you enjoy coding? If so, don't worry. Just keep practicing.
Usually true, but where I currently live my neighbor has to bring me my mail about once a week - the post office apparently just decides to put several people's mail in his box, rather than walk around the building to the separate apartment mailboxes.

I also end up with my weekly Science subscription usually arriving in pairs every two weeks. I'm not sure who is to blame for that one.

I experienced this in my Bot Scout troop of all places - people, kids especially, need room to fail. Having a structured environment, having every day planned out with something new and enriching is great and all - but it doesn't give you room to stretch your own brain. You're stuck following someone else's plan. One could argue this is a major failing of our education system.

Reminds me of when Snowden joined Twitter and forgot to turn off email notifications:

https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/649653419620352000
I'm mixed mainly because I feel like their enthusiasm for what the product can do outstrips what it is often used for, and I don't know that what they're pushing actually matches up with what Education users need.

As other users said, I think they're trying to replace the textbook rather than replacing the computer lab. But alot of what we've seen so far shows that students may actually retain info better from a physical book. Also, netbooks with keyboards are probably better for typing &co. than much of the interface (while being quite a bit cheaper).

So it feels more like a shiny, expensive, early adopter/guinea pig program than this revolution in education. OTOH, there is a huge potential upside once the tech matures, and maybe it can't mature without starting somewhere.

I think that's exactly it. The groundwork for "complex" features must already be there in some sense, maybe through mutations or hitchhiking. The last mutation is probably like flipping the on-off boolean. Or maybe something dramatic like a keystone. I.e. the parts alone don't do anything, but you have this magical bit flipped that suddenly turns everything on and gives them significance.

But yeah one bit/mutation does not a feature make. Not without some prior stuff to latch on to, in my opinion.

I don't understand this argument. If you know what parts of your site the deps will effect it should be trivial to update them incrementally and rollback the commit if one unexpectedly breaks your code.

Besides, there's no universal unwritten rule stating that you have to use the bleeding edge version of every dependency.

Keeping all dependencies up-to-date is mostly in the interest of widely used libraries not one-off applications.
To be fair, I've never used a Linux antivirus suite that wasn't a complete piece of garbage. For instance, every single on-access scanner I've ever seen has been so broken and terrible that it gets disabled almost immediately because it impacts the system's ability to function reliably.

Makes me wonder why any of them bother, except for the piles of cash they can make off of unscrupulous rubes in management who demand AV software across the entire environment.
