Ten seconds seems like quite a long time to submerge your hand in liquid nitrogen without ending up with serious burns. I'm not sure I believe that. Perhaps it was shorter and you were briefly protected by this:

> Dr Alex Valavanis [notes that] liquid nitrogen "does not immediately feel cold". He says the delay in feeling the cold is down to the "Leidenfrost effect" - which happens when a liquid, in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapour layer.

The argument that Win10 is free won't hold for much longer, it's only 'free' if you upgrade from Win7 or 8. It's already being sold retail in stores for a similar price to the old versions. And from later this year, people will have to pay for upgrades too.

On the flipside, you don't "own" your software anyway, you own a license to use it (EULA).

The double-standard probably has something to do with the ability to block most of Google's ads and tracking, or use another search platform if you really want. This is the OS on top of which you'll be using all of your other software (web platforms included), and it's impossible to control what is going on in the background.
I click on LinkedIn every day. I like the news feed, my network provides useful stuff to read that I wouldn't find otherwise.

I have connections that are more appropriate than on Facebook because our relationships are professional social not friend social. I don't want their baby pictures & holiday photos but I do want to hear about their business and comment on their business writing.

I'm still a little confused about how something with a high thermal conductivity improves things. If your glove is at room temperature and you stick your hand in, it will initially feel colder, because of the high thermal conductivity of the graphene, correct? The side of the aerogel inside the glove will also warm more rapidly than if the graphene wasn't there.

When the graphene reaches equilibrium with your warm hand on one side and the cooler aerogel on the other side, it will rapidly balance any changes in equilibrium on either side, and actually make your hand feel cooler faster, if there's a sudden drop in temperature.

So, are you getting thermal conductivity confused with specific heat?
I don't think I'll ever trust the manufacturer. I always need to check for myself. There is a lot of cool stuff I have learned over the years about cars as a result.
I'm not so bearish on LinkedIn.

It serves a few useful purposes:

1 - Before any meeting I look to see if there's something I share in common (person, interest, job, etc) with the other person. This was especially important when I was in Sales.

2 - When I was job hunting, I did a lot of "Look up the job, then see if I knew someone who knew someone at the company" that would've been impossible without it.

3 - I use it for recruiting. The response rate is very low when HR uses it, but as the hiring manager it isn't too bad.

LinkedIn has the highest value users of any service - professionals making good money. If they can figure out good ways to monetize it, they'll blow through their current valuation issues.

How To Get Started With Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP)

http://searchengineland.com/get-started-accelerated-mobile-p...

"More than likely, simply installing the WordPress plugin will not be enough, and you will have to go through and validate all of the pages you’d like to benefit from Accelerated Mobile Pages.

Depending on how your articles are formatted, you may need to make some changes in order to get the AMP pages to validate. The most common problems I personally experienced were with specifying height and width attributes for images and correcting old YouTube embed codes that weren’t using https."
How is there any potential for commercial confusion?
And yet you are responding to a comment using an example where one of the mating pair snaps off their genitals to make it easier to avoid being eaten by the other of the mating pair. Personally, I think that's a bit worse, and reason to prefer being human even considering the hardships that may be encountered due to birth circumstances such as gender and location.

Your points about the hardships of being human depending on birth circumstance are important, and deserve attention in general, but I don't think they're really constructive to the discussion at hand, or at least this little branch of it.
More generally, no member of any group can ever say that the group is wrong, because they're a member of the group.

But stated differently, the flaw becomes apparent: "No member of any group can ever say that the group consensus is wrong, because they are a member of the group." But the one criticizing isn't a member of the group who shares the consensus, and the contradiction evaporates.
> My rights existed prior to the Bill of Rights and the government

"Existed" in what sense!? Are they deducible by pure reason? Were they written on stone tablets?

Seriously though, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence may refer to the idea of natural rights, but in my opinion this is due to the prevailing state of philosophy and political theory at the time, and doesn't bind Americans to forever understand their own rights in terms of "prior" natural rights that are "later" secured by the government.
Yeah granted. But obfuscating the VIN in the HTTP traffic would be easy and would at least help a bit. E.g. the guy that wrote the article would have had to dig a lot deeper to figure out what was happening. It still would have been scoffed at, had anyone figured it out, I agree.

BTW reminds me: Jeep had this clever system whereby the password was generated randomly by the unit. But it used the system time as a seed, and that system time was always the same cos the thing had just been turned on. The rest is history...

Most administrators are lazy. If you write software for thousands or millions of users, sane defaults are a must. I find it useful to keep Saint-Exupéry in mind: "It seems that perfection is attained not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to remove."

Let's look at the first lines of WordPress's default template:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US">
<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">

Why bother with xmlns if it's not well-formed XML anyway?

Why dir and lang if you don't really know what language the content is in? We now have the funny situation that most non-English pages wrongly declare lang="en-US" because W3C evangelists told template authors that lang is really important, rendering the attribute completely useless.

What the heck is profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11" supposed to do?
I haven't really had problems with OS X.

There's the occasional odd package under Linux which remains installed and you need to manually remove it, but nothing unfixable. But I guess that depends more on the underlying OS structure. I'm looking forward to see more widespread usage of Snappy Ubuntu.

Since that is the main way people migrate to Windows 10, I would've expected them to be more careful with it.

Autopilot will still work fine. It may receive periodic data updates, but it doesn't require a connection to operate. All you'd lose would be remote access through the app, further software updates, and any remote diagnostics Tesla might be able to do if you have a problem, assuming you also kept the car off WiFi.
Ask HN: Are there any research journals that are free for computer science?
A lot of the development that has changed the course of our field has been done open source, or has open source counterparts.

I am interested in exploring the academic world of computer science but I don't know of any journals that exist in the spirit of FOSS.

Are there any that exist?
I seem to remember some recent articles about MSFT which detailed how they had really turned things around. They've been missing the boat for years, and finally got their act together. They had a really aggressive goal for getting windows 10 on XYZ millions of devices by June or July this year. And now....this?! This does not fit Satya Nadella's recent narrative. Why would MSFT do this?

It was either the Economist or FT that did a cost/benefit analysis of removing those inserts for their already-subscribed customers copies, and found that it would cost more in lost new subscriptions to remove them.

> Plenty of places offer both "eating out" and "reasonably healthy".

And these fast food places are not those places. If you go to McDonalds or Burger King or Wendy's for healthy, there really is no other way to say it, you are a moron.

You go to those places because you want what they have and it has been very clear for a long time, they are not healthy choices.
They said that about Obama, but he still got shit done. The Repubs can't obstruct forever, and the Dems have learned how to deal with those tactics.

The weird thing out our democracy is, it's getting more democratic, even with pathetic turnout, the public exerts more of an influence on the news cycle, and that drives the political agenda.
{Random advice from the internet}

More schooling will teach more of the sort of things that are taught in school. A job will teach the sort of things that are taught on a job.

If the priority is learning more of the things that are taught in school, get a graduate degree. There is nothing to keep a person from spending time on MOOC's while working. A lot of people do.

Work is not like school, most new grads will learn a lot really fast because the learning is by doing alongside other people with more experience in a culture with a great deal of institutional experience in the thing that is being done.

To put it another way, if there's some really interesting MOOC, take it now.

Good luck.

C++ compilation times are absolutely ridiculous, esp. when compared to something like D which has greater expressiveness in its compile-time features.
Some of those guidelines (avoid style recalculation and use only "GPU-accelerated" animations) are specific to Chrome (and to other browsers of today). Style recalculation is needlessly slow today due to the lack of parallelism and typed CSSOM. And there's no such thing as a "GPU-accelerated" animation, either in the spec or technically: all animations can be run on the GPU with minimal state changes. It's just that browsers found it easiest to only optimize a small subset of cases (in the case of CSS animations, really small--transform and opacity), so as to keep around their legacy, originally-CPU-based, painting infrastructure. It's good that they did that, because it let us get to some degree of graphics acceleration quicker, but we can do so much better.

I'd prefer to just improve the browsers instead of putting the burden on Web authors.
Doesn't the government there (and most companies for that matter) contract IBM for big software projects?

You know the old adage "nobody gets fired for buying IBM".

Don't hold your breath. In private emails Patrick deferred to banks'/processors' judgment on these matters.
Yeah, you are right about the 'junior' part, I shall definitely try looking for such jobs.

In regards to thesis, I did what I thought would be interesting and it was. But essentially it was creating a product to solve real client's problem which I have done in the past as a freelancer. In hindsight, I should have probably chosen something related to these other niches, would have been a perfect opportunity.
This is all about ads. "A goal of the Accelerated Mobile Pages Project is to ensure effective ad monetization on the mobile web while embracing a user-centric approach." It's mostly about optimizing some very inefficient ad delivery systems. If you're just displaying text without ads, you don't need AMP.
Personally I wouldn't be willing to pay for an ad-free version of an OS that you are already paying for.

I like it more than Spotify's. I found the repetition was much higher with Spotify, and never felt that it was "learning" what I liked. I don't know how many Mumford & Sons songs I thumbed down, but it would find progressively more obscure songs from them to slip into my Alt playlists.

Even when Spotify wasn't repeating individual songs, it repeated artists a good deal. This was over a period of six months until I got frustrated and switched to Google Play Music (what a clumsy name this is, though!).

With Google Play Music (GPM?), it throws a lot of different things at me in their generated playlists. I've had great success with the "I'm feeling lucky Radio", as well. I don't want to stop and think about what to listen to during a work day, so it's valuable to me to be able to start it in the morning and just listen in.

GoG is pretty great [1]. Their games are DRM-free and their windows client is super clean - I only wish they would hurry up and release for Linux.

Huh, that's funny. I've had the same kind of relationship with a woman for the last 2 years, though we dated for a relatively (for me) long time after my divorce. She has kept in touch after I moved. Only recently, I think she is finally ready to "move on" so I've backed off 100%.

It's true. Having someone who cares about you with whom you can relieve personal stress is meaningful. She definitely did that for me, and I hope I did that for her.

On the other hand, I wonder if it has always been like this or there is something unique to our current societal configuration causing the need for these synthetic partnerships.
I "hear text" as I read, but I'm not sure how it would affect how I tried handling that paragraph. The "voice" is generally monotonic, but I do glance back to reference words (especially because I didn't notice this was markov text). When I read, I take in entire chunks of words at a time and automatically pull out interesting words for the voice to read. I'm not entirely sure if I can describe what the voice says, but I'll give it a shot after deconstructing the paragraph.

* "During winter" ok

* "and touring the humor" ok

* "poignant observation to Hobbes" ???

* glance back at "humor", then "touring" for more context, whatever

* "as if to created as an outside action" - I didn't even notice "as if to created" was nonsense

* glance back to "observation", "humor", "during" to reconcile this weird construct

* "you can be found him" segfault, brain realizes this is nonsense and refuses to try to parse anymore

* "for examples" one last chunk it seems like I was processing when my brain realized it was nonsense

What was passed on to the internal voice (maybe? the more I think about this the more it seems inaccurate, but that might just be garbage in garbage out. And the fact that I've read this about 5 times so far). :
"During winter, touring humor, poignant observation Hobbes, created outside action - you can be found him for" ... unsure ... "criticized is the thing through Saturday $DATE_HERE$. $PARENT$ first appeared newspaper chapeaux during nature is babysitter characters another"

I do think it's interesting that as I get more confused I start focusing on words that would have been filtered out but at the same time I lose my grasp on the big picture.

This is incredibly anecdotal, but I hope you gain some insight.

Great point. I've always had an issue with those ads on the home screen. One ad that stands out in my memory was a particularly gruesome looking game ad, something about zombies. I thought it was way too dark for the little kids in my house to be seeing, but had no way to turn it off.

That's what the documents say - natural rights codified. If we no longer believe that, we need a new set of documents.

History buff here. For those interested, take a look at the ratification debates. For a lot of people, it wasn't even clear why you'd need a Bill of Rights in the first place. The only reason it was included is to get the states to ratify.

The anti-federalists (those opposed to the new constitution) made all kinds of arguments about the things that would happen. The federal government would take over most of the power. There would be a standing army. Language would be stretched to take the government far beyond the bounds that were initially established.

There are two especially interesting things about this. First, the anti-federalists, like libertarians recently, were considered the tin foil hats of the day. Who could believe such silliness would ever happen here? Yet, like our recent example, they were proven right.

The second thing that's interesting is the depth of conversation and debate that was going on almost 250 years ago. The debaters understood which structural flaws the government might or might not have and were arguing about weaknesses that in some cases took many decades to eventually show up. I seriously wonder if such a well-reasoned and supported by history discussion could happen today.
A huge, huge, cost driver in many of the applications is the fact that they have to integrate with the old systems in numerous ways.

A startup could probably build the basic version of many of these apps no problem, but that's only the tip of the iceberg. When you have to then import millions of customer records, which were not stored in any particular format (they're idiosyncratic with each doctor/office), and then integrate with the COBOL based system vendor 1 uses, and the IBM Mainframe that vendor 2 uses, oh, and those systems were never intended to interconnect with anything and the vendors are years behind schedule as well, and all while you have lawyers breathing down your neck with a 28 inch thick binder with all of the regulations you need to follow written in impenetrable legalese you can see how it can cost billions of dollars.

Your startup guys heads would explode if you asked them to write a formal specification for an interconnection system between their elegant web frameworks and a big blob binary COBOL based record system on an IBM 360 with only hardcopy documentation written by a vendor that went out of business in the 80s. And yes, healthcare systems still run in environments like that for the reasons mentioned above: making a new system is too hard/expensive.

Oh, and the vendor that had the lowest bid for the contract is planning to outsource to some country that doesn't speak English and is 12 hours offset from your local time.
You're right. Amended.
