So I can imagine that this was originally a bug. Probably at some point they reached the capacity of things they could physically get out of their warehouse and onto a shipping truck per day, regardless of whether that truck is heading to other trucks or to a plane. So you need to prioritize, every day, the things that must go out overnight to meet the deadline. If you're full and you have things that could be shipped tomorrow, they wait tomorrow. Then tomorrow, or a week later, or whatever, those things are now on the list of stuff that must go out overnight.

Ideally your capacity isn't filled up by the must-be-overnight stuff. But if you're busy for a few days, suddenly a bunch of regular stuff turns into must-be-overnight stuff. And that delays next week's regular stuff, which then turns into must-be-overnight stuff next week. and there's no way to recover from this automatically. You could recover if you manually added more shipping capacity, or if you told customers that ground shipping would take even longer (so you can spend a few days clearing out backlog), or something.

That said given that the current state incentivizes customers to do exactly what you did, I wouldn't want to be the manager who prioritized fixing the bug....
Interesting.

There has been a huge effort in the UK for mobile carriers to add fiber to as many cell towers as possible.

Do people think this would undo this trend? I'm sure that 10gbit would be more than enough to carry the backhaul of 3G+4G with plenty of room to spare?

If reporting about dog food brought revenue they would be reporting about dog food.
They used to have plenty of jobs -- hunting, trapping, preserving meat, making clothes out of animal hides, etc.

To some extent, this should be a cautionary tale about the dangers of a universal basic income: Giving people enough money to prevent them from starving doesn't necessarily allow them to lead more meaningful lives.
not really, fiber is still greatly preferred (For example: it's impossible to do 40Gb by microwave/millimeter wave, but a CWDM 4-channel 4x10GbE passive mux/demux on two strands of singlemode is trivial and very very cheap), or just a pair of 40Gb QSFP 10km reach optics using a single 1550nm wavelength between two routers or metro-E switches. But wireless can reach small cells, rooftops and towers that might be a very costly underground fiber build at $400-900/meter total construction cost to dig up streets in urban cores. It very much depends on the location.
I don't think that is the question being answered by the parent. The question is (imo): why is atheism making people worse off?

There has never, in my life, been a time that the government and the people they work for/represent/are have ever been more adversarial. When you realize government has stopped working for you and are actively treating you like a criminal, you ask who they are working for. It's hard not to land on banks, corporations, and Bernie's "Billionaire Class" - whether that's true or not isn't part of my point.

So it's hard to "trust" in a single direction when the actions that cause distrust are so, so bald-faced. Every conspiracy-sounding theory surrounding surveillance has turned out to be true. And all that worry about being caught has had a net-zero effect. Maybe Let's Encrypt was at least partially a result, but that's about it. So why worry now? Turns out secret courts are just about guaranteed to green-light whatever the hell the NSA wants, so people finding out didn't really turn out as badly as they were worried about.

So "trust us" is about impossible anymore. I don't know if the relationship can be healed, to be honest. Obama was the ideal of our best shot, but that ship sailed like, day 2.

Apply HN: Classary-Trello for Education, Agile Ed
Classary is a Kanban planning and tracking tool for Education, that doubles as a digital learning portfolio.

Schools use an assortment of different educational tools for good reasons. This product puts those tools in one platform. We have developed product similarities that include the best attributes of Trello, Schoology, Edmodo, Remind, PearsonEtextbooks, and (Yeah) even Google, and put them all together.

Designed so parents, teachers and students can make the learning process personal and engaging. We also have focused on empowering PARENT's with knowledge about what their students are learning in school by sharing their student's daily experiences.

The product is designed so that the users never need to leave the cloud-based platform. We focused on keeping it very simple to use. It has a bit of a 'Clever' feel in regards to the user's ability to add/access commonly used tools in the platform. We will amplify the power of the internet in education and make the WebApp accessible from anywhere at anytime.

Fair point and well preempted. Proprietary software can offer some freedom but it does not ensure it will remain, nor does it offer the full 4 freedoms required.

What you say is not technically incorrect, but practically Google, Apple & Microsoft were all secretly in NSA's PRISM. A large corporate entity is subject to state pressure in a different way than a public good. A corporation must profit, new markets must be entered, their regimes placated at the expense of users. Ownership is a single point of failure.

A proper security audit is only possible if one can compile that source with ones own toolchain or get the binary from a source you trust. One must test and make modifications, otherwise the binary only purports to be from exactly that source.

So you must in the end trust the companies, and trust them to release patches promptly, not delay them at the behest of the NSA (as per Snowden).

PGP and SSH are both provably secure. Security is dynamic, FOSS is faster at releasing patches and not removing features while updating security.

If a patch removes an essential feature and security is bundled with it, this is problematic. If you cannot use distributed community modifications then you are often out of luck.

Companies change hands, policies change, you may be secure today but they sell your data tomorrow. Free software forks at disagreements so everyone is happy. Free software cannot be taken from you by law - it is public domain.
You don't even need to do a complicated extension mechanism.

It's actually interesting seeing some of the guesses it makes. For instance:

https://youtu.be/qQSViqdd0tU?t=82

It makes a reasonable effort to distinguish skin from what it presumes is grass, but the grass looks mostly to just be rock. But even then, you can see it distinguish some of the bigger rocks from the rest of the ground in the back by how it colorizes the larger stones near the center of the frame.

Pretty neat. Goes without saying that accuracy might improve further if the neural net can be further trained on videos as opposed to stills (going by the description in the video where it's noted that the video is colorized frame by frame via http://richzhang.github.io/colorization/).

Unrelated: this film seems neat.

For the most part, they don't teach either. They don't teach good communication skills, nor do they teach you to shut up. Typically, students will talk, and get scolded when the teacher doesn't want them to talk. That's not a lesson. It's a power grab.

They don't teach how to ask questions either. They need to.

I know these things because I have had to teach them to every person that I hired. The modern system was suppose to create a smart and dependable work force by teaching students how to study, which is basically how to follow instructions and absorb anything handed to them. Except, that is only a small fraction of most work, and even the studying part they stop doing because it was never fun or important to them, or they never got good at it to begin with. Because, ironically, most schools don't teach you how to study. They just make you study.
NSA's setup isn't simply SS7 though, and it's probably entirely passive at that.[0] They operate on an industrial scale and have every facet down to a science.

Granted, field operatives who carry active cellphones with them while conducting a tail are probably bad at their job to begin with, so you're probably right in that the damage isn't much.

I'm not sure how relevant "regularly" is if you want to replace someones only car (multi-car households are a different story, but also a large limitation of the market). Yes, for most people you could cover 90-98% of their days with 100 km range, but nobody wants to rent a car just because they have a 600+ km trip planned. It still needs to be able to do that distance with not too many charging stops.
I think the dilemma with Haskell typeclasses isn't the "how", that is fairly straightforward especially for lists and maybe.

Instead it is the "why". Groking lens was probably the first time I truly understood why type classes have laws. Unfortunately no one has found an easy path to figuring that out, it takes a long time to truly understand the mechanics of the type classes and a bit longer still to understand why they are useful.

I'd really appreciate some help refining this thought but I believe that for low and middle income earners, the pros of living in a city no longer outweigh the cons.

If you're spending most of your time working to make ends meet then here is how I view the two. These are of course relative to living in a small town, not a completely rural setting.

Pros:

- Large selection of fast food places

- Large selection of stores to buy material junk

- Short travel distances (likely canceled by commute times)

- 24/7 stores

Cons:

- Expensive housing which forces people to rent small apartments or even rooms that prohibit social gatherings.

- Limited or no personal outdoor living area, backyard

- Expensive or non existent parking.

- No sense of community

- Limited exposure to nature and non developed areas

What I'm trying to get at is if you're simply working minimum wage or slightly above you could get the same job in a small town where you don't have to spend money to enjoy simple pleasures and the cost of living is dramatically lower. Sure you have to buy groceries when the store is open, or drive an hour to a larger town when you need a new computer but seriously I could probably list a 1000 benefits to living in a small town where there isn't a war over every morsel of land, you're more free to use your land as you wish, there are fucking trees and grass, and every move you make isn't watched.

Really hoping someone can bounce a few thoughts back on this. The city and province I live in are facing really dark times and I think this is playing a huge factor.

Completely agree with this. It really depends on what kind of job you work in. Most software engineers in the US are probably very satisfied with what they work on. But I've seen many friends in other countries who hate programming, since they work for outsourcing firms that don't allow for much creativity/freedom.

Almost always someone who doesn't understand BGP making a mistake in conjunction with an upstream provider that is incompetent enough to not have prefix filtering in place to avoid putting bad prefixes out into the global routing table. Though, sometimes it certainly is malicious, and impossible to protect against. If someone hijacks your prefix, you basically have to start trying to call all of the upstream networks to see if they can fix it.

Just to be clear, a big chunk of what Snowden's leak revealed actualized a bunch of conspiracy theories. Do you see the disturbing irony of dismissing another conspiracy theory so flippantly? I don't believe it's true, but if it turned out to be, I'd hardly be surprised.
I'm in the middle of reading through The Unix-Haters Handbook and I must say that the arguments against web-as-application-platform (and the attempts to defend it) and are eerily similar to what this book reports about arguments against Unix that were circulated in the 80s and early 90s. Sadly, the fact Unix managed to a) win, and b) fuck up the computing world so badly that people don't even realize how much we've lost doesn't make me hopeful about the future of the web.

Bad stuff seems to win because it's more evolutionarily adapted than well thought out stuff. This happens to hold for programming languages too.

Ask HN: Do you redact some jobs from your resume?
Nowadays I believe the average tenure at a job is of the order of 2 to 3 years. After 15 years in the field, the average dev has 5 to 8 previous jobs on their resume.

I personally would like to be able to customize my resume for each job, highlighting the previous positions that match best the one I'm applying for. But I feel like it would raise questions to see big holes in between each job.

Is there an elegant way to go about it?

If everyone linked the "canonical" version of jquery, then that location would be worth a considerable amount of money to any sort of malicious actor.

"Intrinsic value" is not a term I made up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_theory_of_value

Warren Buffett built his entire BRK empire around this concept.

The word "value" in some academic settings is used as a thing that is contextual and subjective, but in daily conversation, if I said the value of a bag of peanuts was a billion dollars people will think I'm crazy.

Due to that fact alone, one can assume that in typical conversation, employment of the word "value" refers to "intrinsic value" rather than the "subjective value"

Except, you didn't.

None of your previous references make clear what the reference you just added now does which is that the minimization procedures allow for retention and dissemination of __non-foreign intelligence__ information which is evidence of __ordinary crimes__.

I can see in your previous comment where that might have been what you meant but leaving out the keywords I emphasized is cause for confusion.

In any case, arguing over whether or not the content of this statute is "news" is just a distraction.

The EFF is challenging this statute and its application as unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment. Despite the amicus agreeing at least in part, the court decided to uphold the statute and to continue allowing warrantless querying for ordinary crimes.

News or not, this is cause for concern and I applaud the EFF in its efforts to do something about it.

> It's not trivial for a middle-schooler to make an incubator

You don't actually need an incubator. Bacteria won't grow as fast at room temperature, but for the kind of experiment she was doing that should not be a problem.

Nevertheless, it is actually pretty easy to make an incubator. Google for "homemade bacterial incubator" and you'll find many sites offering instructions. A typical design uses an aquarium tank, an incandescent lamp, a dimmer, and a thermometer. This should be well within the capability of any middle schooler.

If the kid is up for doing a little programming, they could even toss in an Arduino and use a dimmer that can be controlled by it and automate keeping the temperature constant.

The rest of the things needed, like Petri dishes, agar, and such are available from Amazon. There are even kits specifically aimed at people who want to grow bacteria for science fair projects.
