awesome. thanks for using the service!
This is insane. I have Google/FB test accounts that I use to try out new products. I am now inclined to set up offline mail to make sure that my emails are not readily available to anyone but me. Of course Google still archives my removed emails but I think their policy is to remove them after a certain period. Can someone at Google confirm?
Processing CPU interrupts has overheads. Previously for storage devices you always get one CPU interrupt per I/O operation. If you have many SSDs with some ridiculous IOPS then you spend a lot of CPU handling all those interrupts.

This change means that when the I/O load is high there is no longer one CPU interrupt per I/O operation, instead multiple operations are processed at once, so the CPU has more time to run user space applications to actually do something with all that data.

Maybe he can, but less tech savvy people almost certainly can't.
Postmark is super unreliable for large volume - their servers are down periodically and their email is periodically delayed for hours.

It still does not support multiple admin roles per account.
America Is Wasting So Much Time and Money Defending the Broadband Status Quo
What are you trying to gain?
Having worked on an email client app before, that would definitely be effective. Retrieving and processing a decade worth of email is a huge pain in the ass that takes quite a long time (just retrieving the message bodies from GMail took at least an hour).
Hardly a replacement for Office. They're good to collaborate and work with people over long distances, but when documents grow to not so big sizes, problems begin. I even have problems to load 30 page documents. Word 2016 flies on Windows 8 and 10, and it takes 60-100 MiB of RAM.

Also, there are countless document templates (which plague different work fields) that are utterly incompatible with Google Docs and break all over.
It's particularly dangerous for people who actually use their mother's maiden names.

Some people were born to unknown fathers, and some people deliberately changed their names to their mothers' maiden names later in life.
This question is also misogynist. My mother does not have a "maiden name" she has a "last name", which has always been the same. It's not the 1950s, women don't have to subjugate themselves to their husbands name anymore.

Oh, and gay people exist. Get with the times.
I had to explain what the "greater than" symbol meant to someone at my bank, when they wanted the third character from my mother's maiden name.

They understood it was more secure though.
Online html editor that was made with React
I guess that's pretty good.
Hey Marcell! You nailed it. 80% of the money that consumers pay in the shop goes to the shop, not the mechanics (because of the infrastructure cost). This allows us to pay more and charge less, still have healthy margins.
Ah, might be worth pointing out my earlier proposal[0] in the HN discussion when the Mandrill announcement happened. I was surprised by the response I got, with >300 people leaving their email address. A number of providers emailed me as well, so I'm still planning to send out whatever I get to everyone on Thursday.

OK, fair enough.

As far as misbehavior by publishers on the web with advertising-supported business models goes, however, this particular example is on the mild side; wouldn't you say?

Some sites for example intentionally break the back button (using Javascript) so that non-technical users will spend more time on the site.
Control Groups (cgroups) for the Web?
Colin and 'pbsd are much smarter than me, and learning stuff is actually why I'm so happy to pick fights with them.

I was a blog-arguer before HN, and a Usenet person before blogs, and a BBS person before that, and most of what I've learned in my whole career is traceable somehow to Internet arguments.

I really do think I'm right about RSA, though.
ColorTrek – the most colorful logic puzzle ever
Is "the concept of dread" the same work as "the concept of anxiety" with a different translation of the title, or are they different works?
I had a related issue with this kind of security measures:

I can't remember them after... is your favorite book "ABC" or "A B C"? first car Nissan Fairlady or 350Z?

So what I do is that you take the question, put it on an email with the key, put the key into a password generator [0] that creates the answer with a Master key just you know.

I'm pretty sure filters like this exist because the real world people that are doing the interviewing / filtering aren't good enough / experienced enough / invested enough in interviewing to come up with a better filter.
I don't know, a lot of these things seem to have analogs to human drivers.

I can cause emergency braking on the road outside my house by behaving like I'm about to run into the street while never leaving the sidewalk.

I could get on an overpass and shine a bright spotlight in drivers' eyes at night.

I get what the author is saying, and there will be a continual need to improve self driving cars. Sure there may be different ways to troll them, but I don't think he makes a strong case that they will be particularly more troll-able than humans.
This is a good idea, if you remember to always tell the same lie. Being required to remember which website I told which lie to can only lead to trouble.
As many classical liberals noted, when you take the Law of Equal Liberty to its natural conclusion, it necessarily entails equal rights to the use of the Earth.

However, since exclusive access rights to locations are a practical necessity, all those who are excluded must be given restitution.
No one is calling out Yelp's CEO because we live in a culture that idolizes young, entrepreneurial CEOs like gods.

Steve Jobs can make billions off the backs of underpaid and abused overseas employees and intentionally avoiding paying taxes to the country that helped him succeed.

"Zuck" can run psychological experiments on his users and try to destroy net neutrality in developing countries.

But no one speaks up because they are the people we want to be, and no one wants to think the person they want to be is a bad person.

Instead, it's much easier to hop on the "millennials are entitled" train - largely because GenX (my generation) is so antisocial that any attempt to point out flaws in the system or make improvements is met with mockery, because we don't understand how to actually empathize with people.
Tl;dr The main point of the article seems to be that Slack is a huge time sink that is no more efficient than email.

I have to agree. Slack has a lot of cool features but ultimately I don't have time for socializing during work hours or tracking the endless feeds. Although, in my experience, discussions on Slack do tend to be about work, the long trails of comments from every possible participant are overwhelming. At least with email you can easily limit the number of participants in a conversation.

I had assumed it was mandated that cars in the USA have AM radios so that they could listen to TIS stations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelers'_information_station

I can't find anything that enforces that mandate, though. So I guess there's nothing keeping you from shipping a car radio without AM.

This isn't news, I've done this for decades. I have a fake family that I use for Mom, pet's name, fathers birthplace, etc. But unlike the OP, I only have one fake family to track.

It's not hard to do, just pretend you are an undercover KBG agent. Alternate plan is to just rotate family by one, so Dad moves to Mom, Mom moves to older sibling, etc and the pet rolls to the top (Dad).

I didn't observe the problem but I'm curious -- what property of the Private mode caused your bug, can you share?
Not giving into hysteria is the mark of heroism.
Manchester is a great place to live, but the UK is so London-centric finding interesting non-remote work there was a challenge. The BBC opening a big office there did help though.
Works here on a Retina 15-inch mid-2012 MacBook Pro. You've got to have the antenna real close to the machine (talking 10 cm here), turn the dial pretty much to the end of the AM band and then you can hear the tune through loads of AM static.
I build federated IAM infrastructure at work, and one of the hardest problems we have is informed consent around attribute release. Users don't necessarily understand what they're releasing, developers don't necessarily understand what they're asking for, and there isn't a way to fake attribute release under the user's control (for those cases where you might still want to use a web app but not give it the carte blanche access it's asking for). It gets even more complicated when using social networks as identity providers of last resort. I---along with my employer---am very privacy conscious, so I really, really don't want to ask for any information I don't absolutely have to have.

I try to mitigate this personally by creating multiple Google Accounts, but it isn't foolproof---plus, not every social network lets you do that.
Somewhere out there is the story of the guy who brought his Alto computer and electric guitar to the infamous Computer Club. He set the guitar on the computer and the speaker started playing Mary Had A Little Lamb. He had written a program to set and unset registers at specific frequencies.
Well, then I disagree with wx's approach. Not only is it more inflexible, the qt solution of creating a styled UI that can be adapted to look native, while being portable and not preventing people from customization, seems to be more flexible.

Note also that Wx runs on top of Qt. Why not drop Wx and just use Qt directly?
Just to clarify stupid arguments. The federal police was asking information like ip address from organised crime pages, they use Facebook as other social network pages(In this case actually we are talking about Whatsapp). Don't have ANYTHING TO DO WITH SPY CITIZENS. Like PCC(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primeiro_Comando_da_Capital) has an official facebook page. There is many people in Brazil who stole cellphones, kill people and post on Facebook(Yeh, I know is ridiculous dumb, but people does). Definitely the IP address will help the cops. Please stop to talk about stupid spy conspiracy without understand the "why". They arrested Facebook's VP because they don't know what to do anymore, because Facebook always deny the justice requests. Oh, if you think that they are protecting your data, you are just dumb as a stone, they are just protecting them self.

If you're a US citizen in a Super Tuesday state, please vote or caucus today
I think if I keep this non-partisan, it complies with the HN official guidelines.

I know HN does not like to focus on politics, but it's clear from reading the comments here that people definitely care about the issues at play in this election. There's plenty of lively discussion on this site about issues like income inequality, healthcare, and climate change, just to name a few.

Clearly, HN readers care. I hope you'll care enough to set aside a few minutes to support whichever candidate you agree with the most.

You may not think a single vote matters, but, as evident in Iowa and Nevada, where precinct-level ties were settled with coin flips or a deck of cards, an individual's vote can actually matter. Even if you live in a state where one candidate is the overwhelming favorite, delegates may still be awarded to all of the candidates proportionately. Your vote can help your preferred candidate, whether they get the plurality of the vote or not.

What about receiving these communications using computer without special hardware? Could this interfere with audio, wifi or some other component in away that could be detected by software?

Quite certainly decent bit rates would be out of question, but would it be possible to pass any information between two computers using this?
Join BestReviews in building the next generation product review/recommendation service. Think modern-day ConsumerReports. We are profitable, receive over 3MM uniques/month and are growing fast. Here is some recent press about us: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/patrick-daniel/how-this-harvar...

As designer of BestReviews, you will be guiding the look and feel of our site. You will work alongside a team of writers, researchers, lab techs, testers, and experts in addition to coordinating with a team of marketers and data scientists. Rather than join a team where you work in a tiny subset of the business, your work will have an immediate and direct impact on our site. You will report to the Co-Founders.

Our headquarters and testing lab are in Reno Nevada, but we have an office in the SF Financial District. This role will be SF based. Learn more about us here: http://bestreviews.com/about-us

Your primary objective:

Create an A+ design experience for our users
Establish a cohesive and definitive look and feel throughout the site.
Build a system that scales (we have a lot of product categories to tackle + additional ideas for content creation that will require design assets!)

Please email jobs@bestreviews.com if you are interested.
I am more inclined to say that they are already good enough, and that this was probably the fault of the bus driver, as they tend to be VERY aggressive drivers that play a game of chicken with the cars around them every time they turn.
It's not that simple: it seems that the issue isn't that WhatsApp/Facebook have wilfully disregarded the subpoena, but rather that Brazil isn't happy with their assertions that the information requested doesn't exist. WhatsApp has previously stated publicly that they don't retain any messages once they're delivered; if this is true, it's not strictly that they aren't willing to comply (though this may also be true), it's that they can't comply.
What counts as artificially intelligent? AI and deep learning, explained
I feel like the author of this article is placing altogether too much trust in human intuition and being very selective with their examples of which human qualities are beneficial to safety of the roads.

A self driving car will never distract itself. It can't get drunk. It won't be able to lose it's consciousness or mental acuity as it ages. It has access to huge amounts of real time information from sensors more accurate than any humans intuition ever could be and can act on that data in an instant.

If the only hurdles we have to this becoming a reality are edge cases like the ones listed in this article, then I am very optimistic for the future of self driving cars.
Google I/O 2016
Does Wordpress still not have basic rate limiting on forms?
I’m not sure which is worse, that so many sites require “security” questions (emphasize on quotation marks) or that the questions are frequently paired with asinine password restrictions that prevent the construction of a strong-enough password in the first place.
Misbehavior by publisher is low in this example, yes. On the other hand, "clever trick" ranks extremely high, at least for me personally, and should never be used in my opinion. This may be such because usually the words "clever trick" are used only by articles and ads who are peddling some of the worst frauds possible.
Interesting to know, but... man... they've got some opportunity with PHP hitting a 7.0 and there not being a WP 5.0 released yet.

Upgrading PHP isn't just about using "new features" - WP doesn't even have to use any new stuff, but still require higher versions for security and speed benefits would help move the web forward a lot.
