A properly manufactured and maintained gun of "modern design" (which includes, for example, the 1911 as in that was the year the US Army adopted it), if its control surfaces (safety, trigger) are secured by a proper holster or the like, is pretty much not going to fire as long as you keep it away from a fire or a MRI's very strong magnet.

Still, if your loaded gun is being discovered by the TSA in this fashion, you're violating Rule 2 of gun safety (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Cooper#Firearms_safety) and of course you might not know until it's too late that your gun has a manufacturing flaw, you screwed up maintaining it, and there are no doubt many old guns out there with marginal designs.
Visualization of Elm Signal
Agreed, that wasn't worded well - i'll try to explain. By 'employees in the field' we mean people who work in operations and management roles in the cities we operate in. They work with shoppers in stores and respond to shopper and customer feedback. They have ideas about how to improve our logistics and our apps - and while many ideas will be about user interfaces, many others will relate to how the algorithms operate behind the UIs.
On cannot eat too much starch. Try to eat only potatoes or rice prepared without any oil/butter for couple of weeks with perhaps few vegetables or fruits in addition with any amount of salt or herbs for taste. You learn that it is impossible to overeat as normal appetite controlling signals kicks in and limit the consumed amount. One does not gain weight on such diet and likely even loose some.

Similarly with sugar. Try to drink plain water with sugar (not tee/coffee or anything else that bring own taste). It is just impossible to drink too much of it. In fact for many people such plain water with sugar is a useful trick to limit appetite and loose weight.

So it is not the amount of what is eaten but rather something in food or food composition that makes people overweight.

As regarding exercising consider that doing high-intensity strength training for 15 minutes once per week is often enough to get into shape. So again, it is not the amount but rather the details of the exercise that are important.

I wonder if this was s stunt to get attention on his company? This seems so cartoonish, I mean you could picture wealthy people thinking this way but to me it almost seems too insensitive.

Maybe a publicity stunt that backfired a little.

Superb satire, it reminds me of "Why GNU/Linux Viruses are fairly uncommon".
when I was figuring out password security I did some tests. on my phone (a galaxy s3) I got about a 40x slowdown of pbkdf2 versus an x86 server running a compiled version (C I assume). I suppose running the js version on a server might give a better runtime, but I'd think the point of a js KDF is to run on the client, not the server.

edit: and I'd assume a GPU version would be faster.....
My question was: "What if your users don't trust any of the existing providers on Earth?"

It's hard to make a blanked recommendation like that, even for "only 99%" of websites. Neither you, nor the person building the website, has any insight into who the website's users trust.

Offer OAuth2 as an alternative to passwords: Great move.

Only offer OAuth2 and don't let people create an account: Questionable.
Working in Windows, my biggest issue was "the 64 bit situation", but that has been greatly solved by Microsoft's MSVS for Python (lovely move by Redmond) and the Python Wheels. Now it has truly become `pip install something` or `pip install [wheel file]` for more complex stuff.

That and Cristoph Gohlke[0]'s repository of pre-compiled modules. That guy saved me more than once. Should I ever meet him, I'll sure buy him a beer!

People, forget about the gas being cheap on Venezuela even still after this arise.

That country is with serious problems for years. For instance, citizens need to be on slow and humiliating lines to buy food, that is limited by government. Recently, government also said that the prices of milk increased because people are drinking it too much.
Restricting the sale of guns makes it harder for the average person, but the bad guys will always have a way.
Silicon Valley: Season 3 Tease (HBO)
Correct, that's why I said that it was an assumption. I picked that ETF because I think the underlying assets would do well over the next 30 years, and also because it's relatively cheap to other ETFs because of the under-performance you mentioned. You can substitute any other asset there really that you think would perform better than 3.5%.

I'm just struck by the total lack of compassion towards your fellow humans. Levinas used to say that ethics was recognizing the obligation that we have towards people that are suffering - I just wonder how someone who is not a sociopath can see a suffering person on the street and feel slighted because their view was ruined.
Did you even read the article? They are talking about cases where people are actually trying to hide the guns in their luggage which are on the rise. Sorry, the increase in found guns can't be explained merely by people "forgetting" them. Everyone should be MORE aware of what they are bring to the airport these days. Right?
For those olde enough to remember, this is very much what things were like in the USSR.

I remember not 10 years ago a liberal friend of mine (With a Masters in economics!) supporting Chavez and complaining about Obama not supporting Venezuela.

This is not a liberal paradise.

I have been lucky quite a few times along my career path. However that "luck" was usually the result of identifying a good opportunity, and taking a risk. There are many people "stuck" in their current jobs because they don't see opportunities for what they are, or because they're too afraid to act on them. Fortune favors the bold.
> There are easily many more programmers who work on potentially life-or-death systems than there are lawyers who litigate death-penalty cases in court.

But potentially life-or-death cases are not limited to death penalty cases, they are just the most obvious class of cases that are life-or-death.

There are far greater numbers (and proportion) of lawyers who work on potentially life-and-death work -- not limited to death penalty cases -- than programmers who do so.
Beatport Registers $5.5M Loss in 2015
I wonder how much these numbers are a result of a kind selection bias, i.e. women don't put themselves in situations because of natural disposition/perceived higher risk (this is certainly the case in my experience).
Not to defend breaking the law/rules in any case, but there's a big distinction here.

Uber broke rules in individual cities, facing the choice of (a) not entering a city, or (b) entering the city by breaking rules. Stretching local rules didn't threaten the survival of Uber the company, it just meant they might be shut down in a single city or area.

Zenefits apparently broke rules in such a way that it did threaten the existence of the company. If the news coverage is accurate, insurers could decide or be forced to cut them off as a broker, they could lose their licenses, or have a pile of lawsuits.

> Ha ha! What an American comment! Not only having a gun, but driving your own car to the Airport.

It's not an American-only thing. I live about 20 km from the local international airport. It's 1 hour 20 minutes by train (at daytime), 20 minutes by car. Also, there's less walking if I drive. Which one shall I take? Not a difficult decision.
IMO it's more because of Chinese capital controls: buying an apartment that sits empty for fifteen years is literally the best option they have for turning money today into something valuable when they're old and cannot work.
Do you realize it is perfectly legal to transport a firearm in your luggage?

You just check it at the counter, and they usually put a flag on the case to indicate it has been cleared (to make sure it's unloaded.)

I wonder how many of these are simply pieces where the flag was ripped off via the luggage transport system.
It qualifies for a number of reasons:

-HN also covers stories about the human side of technology

-The story is happening in SF, which is very close to Silicon Valley

-The vitriol being spewed is coming from a member of a tech startup

It's quite appropriate on this forum.
To be a good Hacker, you must first be a good Human Being. We, as a hacker culture, don't want to encourage or harbor terrible behavior like this. But apparently that is what is happening.

You don't have to be SJW to think that tyranny is a bad solution to homelessness.
That's precisely the problem. The govt decides who gets dollars at rate #1 (Bs.10/$) and who gets the other rates. Of course, only govt officials and friends get rate #1.

They establish a company in say, Panama. Their venezuelan company imports food from Panama at rate#1. They claim they imported 1 ton of food, for example, while they only actually bring in half a ton. Or they buy the food at a certain price and they overbill the govt. Expand that to every facet of an economy where EVERYTHING is imported: food, medicine, appliances, cars, tires,etc.

The black market rate is at Bs.1000 per dollar. That's a Bs.990 difference. It's practically a money printing machine! Buy dollars at Bs.10, sell them at Bs.1000, restart the process. Over and over until there's no money left, which is our current situation.
I had an argument with the guy who was charging me for my tires and he only charged me for one and I demanded to pay for the other three. He argued with me for 15 minutes so I gave up and drove home.

I had hiked 2 miles in the bitter cold, after dark and I just want to get home to my family and what am I going to do? Waste more time contacting the stretched thin store manager or call the 800 number so I can pay another $300 over the phone?

You're essentially banning people from flying for possible crimes they might commit.
I'm not an elastic person, but I can shed some light on this: You're holding it wrong. It's not a bug. You have multiple config files in one directory - if you do that, all those files are combined to one, that means that each event gets handed to each of your individual outputs - multiplying the message. See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/command-lin...

The proper, legal way to transport a firearm while flying is in the bag.

Last time I did it (this was before 2001 and the police state hysteria we're in now) all that you had to do was get a little sticker for the bags handle at the check in counter (they asked us to show that the gun was unloaded.)

Not even a big deal.

There is no history of guns leaping up, loading themselves and killing people.
What I found particularly illuminating was this:

'Some investors said Mr. Dalgaard was as instrumental as Mr. Conrad in pushing for steep revenue targets, and that both men’s ambition pointed in the same direction — toward hypergrowth.'

(in fairness, later on, the article says this:

Another person familiar with the board disputed this, saying Mr. Dalgaard, who formerly ran the cloud software company SuccessFactors, was among those asking Mr. Conrad to restrain Zenefits’ growth plans and fix the culture. )

This is the same person that had a glowing profile written about them in the NYT:

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/18/business/lars-dalgaard-bui...

With this beautiful paragraph:
'I learned so many things from my dad, but in particular he taught me about ethics and that there is no easy way to get to your goal. You’ve got to be like Lambeau Field in Green Bay and build for bad weather. That’s basically the only way to achieve any type of success.

But you often see with some companies, particularly start-ups, that they’re telling themselves and others a bit of a story, and not being honest about what the real issues are. Instead of taking all that energy and focusing on the core outcomes, they’re just glazing over it and hoping it will be O.K. There is no such thing as a quick fix.'

There's no way to know what the real truth actually is - but, wow, that's quite a contrast between the two articles.
To play devil's advocate, he's right. He shouldn't have to see the pain, struggle, and despair of homeless - the city government should be providing affordable housing and shelters for the homeless. That it hasn't is a failure of the local government, and should be addressed. Much of the reason that affordable housing is out of reach of many in San Francisco is due to government regulation, not market capitalism. Extremely restrictive construction laws and absurd rent controls distort the housing market, which is driving the expensive home market and massive rents. A large portion of the blame for this situation falls to the government - they wrote the laws, they built this disaster.
Elite: Dangerous is would be close, although orbital mechanics are non-existent, the galaxy is modeled in the correct scale and now you can land on some planets.

The older Elite games (Frontier) actually had more correct orbital mechanics and space flight, and the creator didn't think it was very fun (dogfighting at km/s speeds etc.) so went back to a more arcade like model. I tend to agree, ED is pretty fun, although it has been described as "a mile wide and an inch deep".

It's the same thing. Though "gives me chills" is more common in English. I only knew "frisson" because I speak French, I'm not sure I've ever heard an English speaker use it. (until now)
I am not being ironic, no. I just want the best for our neighbors.
Sorry, if you are as causal with your guns as your shampoo you are NOT qualified to be carrying said guns.
No, people really do think this way. Most of them have just learned not to voice their opinions in places where they will be criticized for it.

Heh, I once carried my late '70s manufacture Gerber Mark I boot knife (http://www.thegerberknives.com/mark.html see bottom) in carry on luggage in the mid-1980s, PEOPLExpress Airlines was in a hurry and didn't want to check baggage on that flight (very streamlined, e.g. you paid by cash or credit card during the flight). I showed it (sheathed) to the guy saying "Uhhh..." and I guess he thought correctly I wasn't going to be a problem and waved me on.
I find interesting the part where PG says that a startup either makes its founders rich either goes down, and basically discards the possibility that it ends up to be just enough to pay its founders a good salary. I think it can be a pretty nice outcome but then again YC must select founders who are very ambitious.
This won't fix popcorn rants. Introducing GNU/Linux only shifts the burden: there is still a risk of kernel panic.

I find it pretty ironic that you are unintentionally echoing the subject of the OP.
>> "Move over Martin Shkreli. You now have competition for the title of America’s most reviled millennial."

That seems unfair. Shkreli made the news for doing things that would have a tangible effect on peoples lives, and doing those things with a smile. Let's compare Shkreli raising the prices on life-saving drugs to the first paragraph of Keller's blog post:

>> "I am writing today, to voice my concern and outrage over the increasing homeless and drug problem that the city is faced with. I’ve been living in SF for over three years, and without a doubt it is the worst it has ever been. Every day, on my way to, and from work, I see people sprawled across the sidewalk, tent cities, human feces, and the faces of addiction. The city is becoming a shanty town… Worst of all, it is unsafe."

It's ridiculous and frankly narcissistic the way that he makes it about him and how it effects his life, to be sure. But, his three personal examples (from just this past weekend!) did a good job of driving home for me how interactions with the homeless are different in SF than they are in my area (northeast).

The guy could use a talking to about punching down but I haven't really heard too many people defending SF's handling of these types of issues either so I can't rip him for trying to bring more attention to the topic.

You mean the original submitted article? Because in that article the person asks IF they locked them down, not WHY. There's still no answer as to why TP-Link thought it necessary to react to a nonexistent rule.
Homeless activists are the most annoying do-gooders of them all.

Let's fight for the right of people, who are mostly struggling with mental illness and addiction to live in the street.

That sure feels noble I guess.

How about making appropriate institutional care available so these folks wouldn't have to sleep in the streets?

In my town, there's an article in the paper today decrying the fact that a local institution is no longer venting waste heat that kept vent grates warm, so people cannot sleep outside.
On the web framework side of things, who is using aiohttp (web) and something like API-Hour? Seems like the performance is really great. Python 3 asyncio.

That was just the election for the National Assembly, which is our congress.

But now that the government lost control of the Assembly, they decided that everything that they decide must be approved by the Supreme Court.

Guess who controls the Supreme Court? Guess who removed and appointed members of the PSUV (govt party) to the Constitutional area of the Supreme Court in December, right after losing the Assembly elections? One clue: it wasn't the opposition.

Not very democratic is it?

I don't want to see homeless people, drug deals, vomiting drunks, or pantless vagrants on my commute to work either. Does that make me heartless?
