The lead company in the article, Practice Fusion, is an electronic medical records service for medical practices. With their system, everything is on Practice Fusion's servers; the local equipment is just a web browser. If the company ceases operation, they can export patient charts in CCDA format (which other medical records services are supposed to accept). But the office records for billing aren't standardized. If they go under, the transition will seriously upset the operations of thousands of medical practitioners.
Didn't you know that these 150 billion animals come from the magic farm where there's no environmental impact and no cruelty?

You don't have to worry; the animal industry is looking after your health and the health of the planet.

Also, it's a well known fact that farm animals, opposed to pets and wild animals, don't feel any pain, and lack basic interests. They're basically cucumbers, so it's totally fine to treat them as property.
I'm curious, does anyone consider subverting a paywall (even if it's as simple as googling the article title in incognito mode) as being akin to media pirating? At least on an ethical level.
That requires looking at every version in-between to know if a version contains breaking changes from the version I'm coming from. With semver I know that if I'm on 13.x and the latest release is 15.x, that there are potentially breaking changes. I also know that if I'm on 13.1, then 13.6 should be compatible. With your scheme, I would have to inspect the 5 versions in between to see what they were tagged with.

I think this mainly affects writing.

True story - I was working on an embedded project. I measured the temperature of the device using a pocket IR thermometer. I noted that it was a bit warm, so a small electric desk fan ( the kind with the square flat pancake induction motor ) was pointed at it - fairly closely.

I ran a FLASH write test and it stopped working altogether.
We unplugged that fan to set up an oscilloscope and presto! it worked again.

"A competitor willing to make it easy for GitHub project maintainers to migrate to their services could actually make use of GitHub APIs and provide an automated migration system."

This is what we did at GitLab, you can import multiple projects with repos, wikis, issues and pull requests in one go.
But we already know they'd lying if they said they can't "do that" now. That's why they aren't saying "we can't do that." The threat to privacy is no different weather Apple complies or not. No precedent would be set, because this isn't different than any other time the FBI has demanded documents about a person from a company.

I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know if a company has to comply when the FBI demands information for a person. But if they do, this shouldn't be seen as any different.

I loved "Remains of the Day" and "Never Let Me Go", but didn't finish "The Buried Giant." The first two aren't fantasy, but IMHO they're much better Ishiguro.

As for "literature-y" fantasy, I'd agree with others here to look at magical realism, e.g. "One Hundred Years of Solitude." But my opinion is probably crap -- some of my fantasy favorites are Tolkien's "Silmarillion" and "Lost Tales," which probably don't qualify as "great literature," but show some amazingly thorough and vivid world-building.

Complying with any request for anything by the FBI costs money and time. There's no difference between that and making a trivial backdoor for one phone.
I noticed a similar phenomenon many years ago in the spelling of Hezbollah. I think Hezbollah is the accepted transliteration into American English, but authors on the far right of the domestic political spectrum distinguished themselves with increasingly distorted spelling. Hizballah being common, but to make it look more like Klingon some wackos started adding apostrophes, as in Hizb'allah. This last version was especially popular on the radically zionist blog Little Green Footballs, and was localized to such an extent that one could recognize people who had fallen into that circle by their use of that spelling.

I think both of these words are dog whistles in American politics, used to subtly signal, as a kind of secret handshake, that the author and the reader are on the same side.

That may be true in the US, and there may be legal ways to get the US government or US banks to exchange old notes for new notes, but good luck outside of the US finding someone who will trade old US currency for something of value today, or tomorrow for that matter.

For instance, I live outside the US and I have roughly $300 in older US $100 bills that was given to me and my wife as a gift for our wedding. No over-the-counter currency exchange or bank will accept the notes. I could probably find someone here to trade me something for the notes, but the effort/hassle is probably not worth it for such a low number of bills.
There is absolutely no denying that GitHub has done a lot of good for the world, but at the same time I feel that because of their true open source foundation GitLab really listens to their community much better. On a related note, many devs are just now discovering that with GitLab you can have unlimited private or public repos hosted at GitLab.com for free. Already a number of prominent projects have made the jump for this reason alone. You can find the nascent but growing list of publicly listed projects here: https://gitlab.com/explore

In the end, strong competition is good for users and projects and the Git ecosystem will only continue to grow and benefit from it; may the friendly rivalry continue.
But then that user would be running Windows 10, which means they get to pay Microsoft for the privilege of having their data harvested and having an advertising ID assigned to their device.

Why any sane individual willingly chooses windows 10 is beyond me.

edit: Can't reply, but turning off the "phone home features" doesn't actually turn them off. It still phones home and you still get assigned an advertising ID. Sure, I could block it at the firewall potentially, but this is about taking an ideological stance.
Perfect. To fix your analogy and make it more accurate, it's more like the safe making company has the ability to make a device that can disable the self destruct capability for a single safe.

If the safe company simply hadn't built in that capability, there would be nothing the FBI could demand of them, because it wouldn't be possible.
I don't have any data, but it might be that Giphy class companies have more or less the same investment share percentage today as they used to before. It's just that the total investment pie grew. There's plenty of useful companies investors put their money in today.

Ask HN: Where are 150k to 200k salary job in Silicon Valley?
I always hear and have read quite a few times that there are thousands of people who earn 150k to 200k salary.
I have 9 years of experience but my salary is 118k per year with 2k as stock options per year. I work in data analytics as tech lead without any direct reports. With $2300 rent in Peninsula it is really really hard to live in Bay area for 2 people.

Is 150k to 200k only paid at google / Facebook / Amazon / Uber?

Where do you find companies hiring managers or directors or tech leads offering such salary ?

I have no network. I tried networking and going to meetup but nothing happened. Even if I go networking way it is going to take longer to find job through that route.

We read Name of the Rose in my 10th grade English class and it was a tome that challenged us all for the couple of weeks that we pored over it. I love that book. I've read it one other time since then and it's amazing the number of layers that continue to appear when you read it a second (and, presumably, a third) time. When you spend so much time dissecting somebody's work, you develop a sort of relationship with them, one that forms easily when you have a teacher that distills a deep appreciation for the work you're knee deep in trying to understand.

Mr. Eco you will be missed.
Me too, unfortunately can't help you there, but this will make your data redundant if you're concerned about data loss.

It's the same reason we have to include '<!DOCTYPE html5>' when we want the browser to use HTML5. It's the same reason XHTML failed and we had to deal with quirks mode for years before HTML5. Backwards compatibility sucks.
The same people are running the company who did then, who were responsible for setting the culture of the company, covering for employees who did unspeakable things (worse than what I've said here), and pretty much instructing employees to lie to customers.

Also, all the people who quit Linode and ran to this coast after I left have kept me very apprised of what working at Linode is like TODAY. I still communicate with your colleagues quite regularly, too.

It is important to reiterate here, as I have before, that I wish Linode no ill will. I'm becoming more comfortable with calling spades spades, but I do not wish Linode to fail. I actually hope a lot of this stuff can be fixed, whatever that entails, but I have a serious gripe with some events that have transpired since 2011, from security to personal. If Linode would start being a little more honest about their gaping security troubles, and not rely upon people like me and Tim who actually know the truth to just shut up about it (I'm getting braver as Tim does, and I appreciate how willing he is to not let PagerDuty be tossed around by Linode's deceit), I'd be a bit happier. We're crossing into knowingly compromising the safety of the Internet, PII, and a number of production infrastructures that still run on Linode in some cases, and I do care about that.

And again, that tone of deceit is set from the top.

Exactly. It's at least to some degree clickbait. Imagine reading an article that goes something like this: "stock market is down since its all time high which lowered a little bit some of the valuations of some startups but it's not a big deal". It's quite likely that a lot fewer people would click on and read that article. That's just how we are wired
Anciently, there was the UNIX. But the UNIX was held close by those who had received it, and the world trembled in darkness, because there was no UNIX to light the way. But then came Linus Torvalds, attempting to discover which of the systems was true, and, as he reviewed the ancient operating systems, discovered wisdom enough to seek the UNIX.

And BEHOLD, as Linus went forth to meditate on which operating system was best, he was visited by the UNIX in a pillar of Code. The UNIX told him that all operating systems had departed from the best way, and informed Linus where he must go to seek a restoration of the true ways of UNIX.

And Linus was led to the side of the hill Codemorah, wherein he discovered golden algorithms and clear glass compilers. And will the clear glass compilers, he translated the golden algorithms into this: the Linux operating system. It is evidence of his prophesional calling, and any who use it can attest the Linus was truly shown the best way, through the Spirit and Power of UNIX.

(I will show myself out now :) )

This is intended behavior, actually! By default, mypy doesn't type check the interior of functions that don't have any type annotations. This lets you slowly introduce types to a large codebase without having to convert everything at once (or even file by file). Adding a type annotation to "bar" will cause mypy to check it:

def foo(n: int):
pass
def bar() -> None:
foo("123")

>> main: note: In function "bar":
>> main:4: error: Argument 1 to "foo" has incompatible type "str"; expected "int"

It's not going to replace GitHub for me, yet. I think Microsoft said it themselves when they started hosting projects on GitHub instead of Codeplex: "GitHub is where the community is."

Sure. I'm just explaining why the bank rewards you for this seemingly pointless procedure, not passing judgment on any of it.
“[Apple] executives […] initially offered to help recover the iPhone's contents by connecting it to the Web from a network that the device had already accessed. That would have backed up the iPhone to iCloud and granted the FBI a way to obtain data without requiring it to crack a password, they said.
[…] The Friday DOJ filing to the court indicated that the county health department, which employed Farook and owned the phone, had remotely reset the password in an attempt to gain information, eliminating the possibility of an auto backup.”

> ...brought me a red herring that wouldn't have helped Greenwald then or laypeople now.

Funny. I addressed this in my previous comment, but I guess you glossed over it:

> 1) It seems reasonable to expect that most journalists possess either an iOS or Android smartphone.

Your snark doesn't enhance the credibility of your objections.

> The requirement was that the NSA not be able to understand the content of those messages for a period of time that covers their activity.

Two things:

1) That's not what you said, though. You said "the NSA didn't get shit", when in fact, they did. In my reply to you, I even addressed the fact that it's possible they got the plaintext of the conversation long after the meeting. [0] Again, your snark doesn't do you credit.

2) Another goal of the NSA is storage of encrypted data for later decryption just in case a decryption method is found and the data is useful. The NSA does far more than just deal with information that has a very brief shelf life.

> Mediocre solutions stop people all the time despite pro's or talented people being able to defeat them.

Does a messaging system that XORs the message and addressing information with a hard-coded value meet your definition of "secure messenger" if its target audience is the everyday US citizen who communicates only to people within the US? Why or why not?

[0] But, in reality, we can't know that NSA wasn't aware of this vulnerability in CryptoCat at the time of the meeting. It's entirely possible that they had access to the plaintext of the conversation shortly after it happened.
Again with the snobbery.

You're the only one here who hasn't produced an argument. In all of your other comments you refuse to explain for reasons that your ideas are too complicated. That's the very definition of snobbery. Refute my points instead of emptily pointing out I'm wrong.
I don't buy that.

Actually with the cost of living and rate of taxation for singles in California it actually is difficult to live off 6 figures. Hollywood talent who actually generate much less wealth than we do get residual income, I live in a studio apartment off 6 figures but my friends who work as hollywood creatives generate far less profit but because of their strong unions are able to buy homes in Los Angeles.
Yeah, from my perspective it's actually getting better, but that may be due to exp increases, and not necessarily just the job market being awesome.

I regularly talk to potential side job people and the amount I can ask for my experience is definitely favorable to my financial status.

Unless the Internet, computers, and electronics are forgone for some alternate form of data storage and retrieval; as long as I stay up to date, I'm pretty much guaranteed a job.

I am moving into "big data", so machine learning, data storage and transfer. It's actually really fun, and it seems to be the direction to take if you want to stay current.

It seems like thinking computers are swiftly replacing human workers in the work force and so it seems like a good plan to be able to program those machines ;)
