Suppose I'm AT&T and one of my customers is running a Tor exit node. Do I now have "immunity from investigation, for illegal activities originating from any IP address associated with them"? I can certainly use a router spoof my customer's IP address for any connections I want to use for illegal activity. Then the IP address will trace back to that customer, which is a Tor exit node, and the police can't investigate me.

For that matter, every user of Tor is in the same situation.

But the premise is wrong. The police can investigate you as much as they like, they just can't assume that the traffic coming from that IP address has anything to do with anyone in particular.

You're still going to jail when you buy something with a stolen credit card and have it shipped to your house, regardless of whether you used Tor or operated a Tor exit node or are an ISP and used an IP address assigned to a customer.
The only western country where a degree seems to be an obstacle for getting a work visa as a Software Engineer has been the USA. Unfortunately, I wouldn't really bother getting a visa to anywhere else, so it does kind of come back to bite me at times.

Sure, but I see value in having it structured by the institution. And lectures aren't all you do in school, mind you. You work with peers, you go talk to the professors, you even become friends with them. I used to spend entire evenings in a professor's office just talking about things not even connected to the class I was in. Even the TAs were brilliant people to meet. The combination of all of this is indispensable to me, and I wouldn't have done it any other way.
Yup. I find it strange that this comment is at the very bottom currently.

Anyways, I've been a freelancer right after a somewhat prestigious CS school, and I've never needed to show my degree.

That being said, I did learn some concepts that I doubt I'd have gotten too far into had I not been forced (OS, compilers, AI), which give me the edge when I need to learn more in those subjects in my gigs.

Also, I feel it gave me some confidence in what I do – an ego boost, if you will. Some may not need it, but I always have that degree to fall back on, if need be.

Overall, I don't regret it.

Certainly, and we don't encourage isolation from our engineers. They are free to work further on problems, and often do --- but when the expectation is to work your fill, rather than to work the problem to death, we find our employees excel. Taking the weekend to ignore a problem often leads to a solution on Monday morning.

There needs to be a way to filter out the most successful ones. Such as filtering or sorting by open rate or click through rate. Otherwise you're assuming they're successful just because it's a popular brand which is not always true.
This is the most bizarre thing in the article.

On the other hand, what is the purpose of comparing the default installed packages on the distribution image? I thought there would be some useful performance comparisons, but there's none.

See "Perhaps not any situation that ever has or ever will happen, but I don't think that there is not any situation that ever could happen like that [I.e. I think that it is /possible/ for such a situation to happen.]. And therefore, while it might not have a high priority, I think it is a valid question."

So, yes, I agree, such situations (where, upon looking, one finds no option better than either of the two) would be extremely rare. I still think the question of "If it does happen, what should you do?" is a valid one.
Really? As a consumer, I hate that approach with a passion. I see how it makes sense from a business-perspective, but I think people are "onto it" at this point.

Ask HN: How much does company name matter on a resume?
TLDR: Does the company names matter increase prestige of your resume? For example, does a job at a large corporation like Dell or IBM (obviously not on the level of a unicorn tech company) impart any kind of prestige?

I'm choosing between two internship offers at companies. One of them is Dell, the other is a lesser known but global company who's offer I have already accepted (they pressured me to decide that day so I don't feel too bad about declining). With Dell I'd be a "software intern" and they can't tell me anything more about it. With the second company I would be working on doing Full-Stack development to build (another) IoT product, which seems very interesting to me.

I feel this question is a bit cynical, but I think it is important to have some perspective. At the end of the day, I know it is my decision and it is only for the summer but I just can't see why a brand of company matters, especially if they are not "Google". I can always work full-time for a company doing what I truly enjoy (seems to be full-stack dev).

Of course, this is also an important question for prospective full-time employees.

Gertrude Caton-Thompson recognised that the builders were indigenous Africans, but she characterised the site as the "product of an infantile mind" built by a subjugated society.

There's a huge difference between evidence strong enough to convict someone (it's reasonably held that an IP address is not good enough evidence to charge a person with a crime) and probable cause for a warrant. I'd argue it's more than adequate to get a warrant.

Again, a warrant is only having reasonable suspicion to go look and see if something illegal is going on, it's not a determination of guilt.
I would have never heard of frontapp.com if not for this page. Front looks great!
If you do it correctly it should work. I'm curious if that code is running on a multi core (or even hyperthreaded) CPU.
You might be answering a slightly different question. If there is material omission, the "poisonous fruits of the illegal search" conducted under the fraudulent warrant may be inadmissible in a trial.

But that's separate than whether the intentional omission is itself illegal. Is there any legal consequences for a law enforcement agency to mislead a judge through omission to obtain a search warrant?

Clearly these sort of omissions are happening, especially in the context of parallel construction, and arguably they are technically perjury, but have there been any cases where law enforcement officials have received punishment for this?
Hehe! Thanks for the clarification -- I wondered if everyone was going bananas over at your company! This explains it (:

I have been ripped off by an interstate moving company before so I am aware of the problems. Movers usually figure out some way to extract more money after they take your stuff. I liked the demo site except the differences between the low and high quotes for the different classes of services was wide. Is that based on a common weight and volume comparison? Is there another reason for the gap?

Anker power pins are oriented to only block one socket in a typical up/down arrangement in the older version of the product. So, my 4 port charger from them? Only uses 1 socket, and doesn't block the one above or below it.

Also, their 5 and up port new and old ones don't hang off the plug, they have a short normal power cable.

This is the one I have. Their new version of the product doesn't seem to be oriented that way anymore. So, yeah. Not quite what you were looking for, but they do exist.

The very first paragraph explains in detail that yes, the target audience is Africans.

It is hoped that this book and its companion volume dealing with non-African peoples will be the beginning of a series of simple, readable accounts for Africans of some of the various objects of general interest in the world of to-day. There are many such works published for the use of English and American children. But the native African has a totally different experience of life, and much that is taken for granted by a child of a Northern civilized land needs explanation to one used to tropical uncivilized surroundings. Again, the African knows the essential operations of everyday life in their simplest form, whereas the European knows them disguised by an elaborate industrial system. All this makes books written for English children almost unintelligible to a member of a primitive race.

Why do you call it propaganda, comprehensive propaganda no less, without having seem to have even read it very closely?

People just seem to be having this knee-jerk reaction to it in order to signal their adherence to the modern Regressive dogma.
An IP address is often more than enough to locate a computer. If it's using an ISP which has an account with an address associated with it where that IP has been provisioned, you can locate a site.

No, you can't identify a suspect or a user. But you can say "I detected child porn at this IP address, this IP address is at this house" and that's more than enough reason to search that house.

Simple geolocation APIs, and using a law enforcement request for an account holder's address are two very different things.

The Omphalos hypothesis holds that God made the universe approximately 6000 years ago, but made it look like it was many billions of years older. I don't think it has ever been the majority view among creationists, but some have advocated it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omphalos_hypothesis

I don't think that canonical S-expressions and JSON are really on the same level. JSON enforces much stricter structure or constraints - key value pairs with string keys and a small set of possible value types, numbers, strings, booleans, arrays, you name it. You have to build all of this on top of canonical S-expressions, you get two byte sequences, the display hint and the actual value, and then it's your task to interpret the raw byte sequences. It's also your task to figure out whether a list of pairs represents a map or a list of items with two values. It's definitely a powerful format but in order to be able to use it, you have to first build a lot of additional functionality on top of it. And by the way, this is not a mindless defense of JSON, I prefer to stay away from all things JavaScript as far as I can.

This is a well balanced and fair summary. Of course if you want to go to college for the wrong reason you won't be happy, and of course if you drop out and get a job for the wrong reason, you still won't be happy. It's the [expectation vs. endeavor] that needs to be considered.
Excellent! I occasionally resort to using PTVS (Python Tools for Visual Studio) for debugging c/c++ modules. It's particularly handy when dealing with PyQt.

Development on Windows remains the same horrid nightmare it's always been. Visual Studio and PTVS are top notch, but building dependencies and ensuring all of everything links against the same runtime libs is the worst bullshit ever.

These GDB scripts and tricks do the job, and I can delete my winpydebug VM. I don't care to estimate how many hours I've pissed away keeping that shit up to date. Plus, its image was the most fragmented thing on that ZFS volume, to an absurd extent. Die die die!
There is more too it. I don't "exercise my purchasing power" because I know whether I ride Uber or something else won't make a lick of difference in the grand scheme of things. But I'd be willing to pay more for drivers to make a little more if everyone else also had to do it so there would be a real impact.
This is actually one of the reasons why I and a lot like me advocate not going to school. There aren't enough non-judging peer groups focused on learning. The ones I've tried looked into tend to avoid the uneducated cranks. Having this sort of network will allow those who can't afford it and large sets of immigrants to have access to information they wouldn't normally have. I come from a largely hispanic area where many of those undocumented recently got the chance to get jobs, but they're still not able to get state assisted education and can't go to higher education.

You'd be surprised how many professors you can talk to. I've had some very, very interesting conversations with professors over email, in person and over the phone. All it took was reaching out. A lot of them don't mind talking so long as you show genuine interest and have enough background to back yourself up.
> Beyond that, my own instruments seem "angry" if I don't play them for months on end. They don't like just sitting there. This is, of course, a very animist, non-scientific approach to the issue, but it seems very real to me.

I enjoyed his points. I've often thought of the meaningless of things, but I like how he called them rituals.

“Vanity of vanities!” says the Teacher,

The above is a quote from Ecclesiastes, which, even if you're not religious, is a pretty interesting book, and it seems to sum up pretty much what he is saying.

Fitting enough, shortly after that opening statement in Ecclesiastes this is said.

"What has been—it is what will be;
what has been done—it is what will be done;
there is nothing new under the sun.
There is a thing of which it is said, “Look at this! This is new!”
But it already existed in ages past before us."

You are on a planet flying through space. The day to day is somewhere in space. You look up, you probably see sky.

There are things that will happen in the future. If you always think about living for the future instead of the present, and you don't make it a habit, you'll quickly forget that you're living in a dream.

Your life can be a procession of day jobs, food, media ad infinitum ad nauseam.

We're not far from all the angels, demons, cyber raptures, and myriad of dogmatic ideologies we want to believe in, if we do, and it makes it possible to choose everything about what we choose to do each day. The future is unwritten.
To add to the suppositions: perhaps the author was afraid they may get bitten by their own malware and designed in a weakness as a backdoor in case they lost access to the key server and needed to decrypt their own drive.
Unfortunately Anker / Amazon don't want my Australian dollars. I've got a similar Tronsmart charger I got from Geekbuying (similar enough that I want to send one to Clive for testing). It's even more difficult to get decent USB battery packs here as only DHL will ship them
The funny thing about the wait time that everyone keeps talking about is that, apparently, no one actually cares about waiting.

Tesla piloted their battery swap program over a year ago, where you could swap out your battery for a fully charged one in under 2 minutes. You'd get all your range back faster than you could refuel a gas car.

Want to know what happened? No one used it. Because no one cares about refueling in under 5 minutes if a supercharge station takes 15 - 30 or you can just plug in at home. It's literally not a thing people (in general) care about.

I don't know how to phrase this any other way. NO. ONE. CARES.

Go with what sounds more like the interesting work (plus, it shows you keep your word).

Yes, the company name can have an effect. I worked early on for a major bank (global name), which made other banks more likely to look at and hire me, which made it even more likely major banks would want me, so I worked for lots of them. Got a bit typecast (but, that's where the money was ...).

So after Dell, you'd perhaps give off more of an "enterprise" vibe (and likely have very dull work!).

With the other company, it sounds like you'd be able to show more practical experience, and a less staid choice of company, which could make you more interesting to younger companies.
I know the hashes exist, but they're not used on traffic in transit except in very unusual circumstances.

Only within limits. And those limits are as defined by the audience, not by the author. (Or rather, the author, by setting the verbosity, determines the audience. If you want to reach the New Yorker audience, use lots of words. If you want to reach the average HN reader, not so much.)

Here is my reasoning:

1. I love Polaroid and really want the Impossible Project to succeed in the long term.
2. The film is already expensive so perhaps if they increase the number of potential users they will keep the camera cost down and maybe even lower the price of the film.

Ultimately, the film is so expensive that I see it as a sort of patronage instead of buying film. Otherwise it would feel gross.
