It's all about eye contact, real Londoners will go to incredible lengths to avoid any sort of interaction with strangers. When forced to, it'll be overly polite and with a certain mutual derision that's kind of hard to explain. As for correctly identifying someone who doesn't exhibit that behaviour -- all the scottish ones tend to reek of booze, the french people who are around all wield baguettes, the welsh are making weird sounds instead of talking and when you can understand what they're saying it's usually uncomfortably correct things about the other uk rugby teams... The few americans can be deduced by mass... At least, that's how I do it :P
All three of the roasted Dong Ding oolongs I've tried have had that lingering coffee-like rich roasty bitterness — though I'm not a huge coffee drinker, so maybe somebody with more of a taste for coffee would disagree.
This seems a bit... inflexible. I definitely understand the arguments for not breaking builds and for reducing administrative overhead and such, but not every bit of secret data can be revoked like a key/credential can. What if you accidentally include user data, or proprietary business-logic code, or...? (Yes, with proper data hygiene and processes you'd never even come close to doing any of that, but it seems there should still be an escape hatch.)
Anecdotes are anecdotes, IPv6 from Mac to Google has been stable for months here :-/

Apple's happy eyeballs are specifically designed to counteract the present but terrible IPv6 problem. It's difficult to tell if yours is IPv6 or just apples notoriously unreliable wifi.
Distribution. It's what copyrights are about. GPL and open source licenses are all concerned with terms of distribution. App stores and walled gardens are about controlling and charging rent for distribution. It's basically all about trade.

The web for software distribution is free or very near free in a lot of cases.

Your point about browser vendors monetizing their users is valid, but that is unrelated with distribution of software that targets the browser.

I choose Mozilla; I trust them the most of all of the browser vendors and I appreciate how they continue to drive so many web standards forward.
Microsoft had a train wreck with Windows 8. They're on track for another train wreck with Windows 10 that they seem to be actively compounding at every turn by adopting a customer-hostile strategy. They're supposedly shifting towards more cloud- and device-based models as a corporate strategy, but being comprehensively out-competed in both markets on almost all counts by other big tech firms. And their share price has been pretty flaky since it became clear how Windows 10 was actually going to work.

At some point, the hyperbole starts looking like a plausible assessment.
Yes. Do you know if the existing malpractice insurance takes into account whether a doctor follows eg checklists and stuff?

Might not be on an individual level, but perhaps if you work for a hospital that has these procedures, one might pay less?

In order for insurance to transmit the incentives right---and not create a moral hazard at worst---they have to have access to a lot of information.

>Sexual workers are among a very rare breed of "workers" who can make money from doing nothing.

What? If I hire a prostitute, and they do not do anything, I would want my money back. If it prostitution were legal, one could consider suing the prostitute (although, like most scammers, it is probably easier to eat the loss then go after them).

Maybe you are saying that a sex worker could have an arrangement where they get paid for merely being on-call, even if no work comes in for them. However, this is not unique to sex work either. For instance, I have a doctor friend who does online consulting. He has regular hours that he gets paid for, even though often times he does not receive any calls during this time. I assume that there are other industries with simmilar arrangements.
I can only speak for my own city, but the cost of building out new roads and infrastructure for new development is paid for not by property taxes, but by the building permits for the development. They actually just had a city council meeting outlining the expected growth over the next 5 years, its expected cost, and the resulting fees for building various types of residential and commercial development.

So the article is correct, that property taxes do not pay for it all. But that is not the only source of revenue.
Most likely having sex with a prostitute is not your spouse. Also, as someone who was raised Catholic it was very clear. If you're not doing it to procreate you are sinning.

(disclaimer: I do not believe that view)
That frequency change used to be a natural reaction from the generators.

I wonder whether they create that signal artificially with electronics these days, or if it's still a natural consequence of the mechanics of the spinning generators they run in power stations?
As with all headlines that end in a question mark, the answer here is pretty obviously 'no'.

This is one of those issues where intelligent people cannot disagree. If you think prostitution should be illegal, you are stupid. Categorically and unequivocally. There are precisely zero valid arguments in favor of its criminalization.
What is the benefit of Social Media?
Shouldn't the PCIe bus fix that problem?

I would assume the reason why usb converters do not work would be due to the fact that usb uses a host controlled polling system, resulting in discrete timing that can only be as precise as the bus speed.
I hope this will become a parable for applying "data science" without sufficient input from practitioners in the field.
Let's say you sign up for one of these arbitration clauses, and then the doctor chops off the wrong leg because they were smoking crack.

In England there are a bunch of different regulators (Care Quality Commission; British Medical Association; the trust that runs the hospital) and also law for compensation.

Are people saying that you'd have no option but to go through this arbitration system? And that it would all be secret?

(I'm not suggesting the English system is good here - it's often described as terrible if you have a complaint.)

A Bitcoin private key is only 51 characters when expressed in the Base58 format that Bitcoin uses. Here is an example private key expressed in such a format: 5Kb8kLf9zgWQnogidDA76MzPL6TsZZY36hWXMssSzNydYXYB9KF

If I were Satoshi I totally would've committed it to memory. I have more random characters than that memorized for passwords to various accounts.

Or, even easier, have a smaller simple password, and then be able to reconstruct them using an algorithm that your remember, e.g. SHA256(SHA256(SHA256("correct") + "horse battery") + "staple").
This is common.

I was going to write that the answer your question is "no" because your version is unambiguous but then I parsed it a few more times.

One way to remove the ambiguity is to recast your sentence using "must": "You must not smoke". But that version is stilted to most modern English speakers raised outside the UK.

This side-discussion is probably one of the reasons people wish HN had collapsible threads, so after this comment I will refrain from further contributing to it.

(Nice job, btw, on highlighting the ambiguity in a version where the negative is in the predicate.)

How can a unix follow or not follow XDG? It's an application level concern, not a distro or kernel level one.
If you are seeing a lot of unpaid internships from boot camps that is a very negative sign about said boot camps. In our industry (in the US) it is very hard to find a situation where an unpaid internship is not a labor violation.

A boot camp that makes large use of them would be a gigantic red flag to me, both as a hirer and as a potential student.
As much as I completely support freedom of information there is a problem with not respecting the law that seems to be growing...

I might disagree with the law. I might break it intentionally, but I do my due diligence and do it knowingly.

When i get caught I hold up my hands and face the consequences because I entered into that knowingly. I have actually done this irl. This is why I have no respect for this, or for Uber, Aaron Schwartz or this entire ridiculous movement of subversion instead of facing up to the challenge and taking it extremely seriously and tackling it up front and openly with some pride and courage.

I'm glad people are fighting to keep this alive anyway. That imo is part of the right approach, to defeat the law by showing its futility in the face of reality when it is very far into the wrong. But ffs, don't hide from what you have done like some kind of child. Face up to your responsiblity and take it on the chin... and let people be angry about that, because that is an actual, serious wrong.

False.

"In 1968, Pope Paul VI issued his landmark encyclical letter Humanae Vitae (Latin, "Human Life"), which reemphasized the Church’s constant teaching that it is always intrinsically wrong to use contraception to prevent new human beings from coming into existence.

Contraception is "any action which, either in anticipation of the conjugal act [sexual intercourse], or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible" (Humanae Vitae 14). This includes sterilization, condoms and other barrier methods, spermicides, coitus interruptus (withdrawal method), the Pill, and all other such methods."[1]

Well yes it was online in that sense, which was great. But what I meant to point out was that the complete MSDN help library came shipped on two CDs that you could locally install. It was really really good. There was a description, detailed background info, and usually at least a few example code snippets using the function. I was later a astonished at how sparse and useless documentation for many other libraries/languages was compared to that, especially when it came to example usage. Some notable disappointments included e.g. the Java/JDK docs (v1.4) and the early Android docs (v1), which both required looking at the code because the docs were severely lacking (both have improved by now).

I think you can still download the whole MSDN help library for offline use, but I don't believe that nowadays that would be enough for daily work use. Lots of useful info and example use is scattered around blog posts and StackOverflow answers now, instead of being a part of the documentation itself.
The best part of this is you were able to do all that without losing your chess computer.

I miss those days as well. It's a lot easier to repurpose things made out of through-hole mounted 7400 series logic than all the custom surface mounted stuff you see today.

On the flip side, though, back then to make your own boards you had to shell out thousands of dollars for the software and more thousands for a prototype run.
Not an electron, or node developer, but based on my experience: As long as there's a library to do this available for node, it can do all those things, since the node part of the software can talk to the browser part, and the browser part can talk back. So for anything you'd need to have the browser talk to the OS to, if node can do the talking, then the web page running in electron can do it too, via node.
> In other words I don't think profound statements have to be true, and the article says people were judging profundity, not truth. (although this is irrelevant, I don't think the verses I quoted are true.)

I think you are using an unusual definition of "profound", then?

To quote the relevant definition from the oxford dictionary:

"(Of a person or statement) having or showing great knowledge or insight"

I don't exactly think that would be met by "incorrect knowledge" or "false insight"?

Now, there is a "feeling of profundity", which indeed does not depend on truth, but which can be evoked by, for example, statements that (to a particular person) seem profound, but actually aren't, but also just by certain experiences.
I think the timing problems are caused by the USB protocol. A PCI parallel port shouldn't suffer from those problems. (I think they were originally connected over the ISA bus, with the ISA controller connected to the PCI bus once that was introduced.)
Anecdote vs. anecdote. Until manufacturers of non-disposable units start publishing their sales numbers, this is just spinning tires in the mud.
Historically speaking, the moral aversion predated knowing about any danger.
Undefined behaviour allows faster code. It also allows handling of situations that would otherwise have to be defined in some 'awkward' way, such as throwing an exception on out-of-bounds array reads.

Edit: To add to my reply - for example, Java has almost no undefined behaviour. (The single exception AFAIK is some kind of multithreaded data race situation). The cost paid is that e.g. bounds checks must be done (in general) on array accesses, as the behaviour is defined to be an exception thrown in that case. Similarly for null reference dereferences.
Two things:
1. Why not just add client-side certificates to an OAuth-based API?
2. Client certificates do not prevent an attacker from pretending to the be server.

Let's say your API server followed the standard OAuth 2.0 protocol except required client-side certificates? Would that be as secure as TAuth?

If so, then the OAuth 2.0 option has the advantage of being well-supported by existing libraries and well-understood from a security perspective. It's less likely that a previously-unknown issue with OAuth 2.0 will crop up and force everyone to scramble for a fix.

And while client certificates prevent an attacker from forging client requests (i.e. tricking the API server) an attacker can still trick the client. An attacker capable of MITM'ing server-cert-only HTTPS can also trick TAuth clients into sending it's banking API requests the attacker's servers. It can respond to those requests with whatever it wants.

To summon the activation energy to adopt (or switch to) a new, less-popular protocol, I'd expect more security benefits.

Eh, the same argument could be made by Philip Morris or a casino: "The time people spend using our products is a good measure of whether we're delivering value to them."
I never said it was a good idea, but that's why people care about people like Wright walking in and appearing to try to take them for a ride. The response can be completely maladaptive, and cause more harm than good, but that doesn't mean it's completely unreasonable. It's the same reason people get steamed at companies like Theranos.

In this case, it's nuts because everyone agrees on what the standard of evidence is, including him, and he's refused to provide it and acting hurt that people are sceptical. Many people gave him the benefit of the doubt when Gavin et al vouched for him; it's entirely his behavior afterwards that has turned people against him.
Sadly this estimate seems on point. I think the jump in time spent is largely because of Instagram though - there are many who check both daily
Unsurprising. Being vague and mysterious is the hallmark of bullshit.

The fact that some people believe it is more a testament to their naivete than anything else. I pity them... :(
To be fair, (at least in Germany) it was taxed even before it was legalized. To make tax collection easier they even created a simplified procedure (Düsseldorfer Verfahren) which is still in partial use today.

Just because you do something illegal doesn't mean you shouldn't pay taxes. I think there is something similar in the US, where you can "take the fifth" on a tax return. Kansas even taxes illegal drugs and requires dealers to purchase and affix "drug stamps" to them.
That's kind of a cool idea. If it's p2p, it doesn't even need to turn a profit, it can be open source.
It would require a hard fork to increase the data storage for the number field from an int64 to an int128, but doing so would be uncontroversial (way more so than the current debate over the block size). It could be programmed to take effect at a certain block # from several years out, by which point almost everyone would be using a version of the software that would support it.

We're not anywhere close to it mattering yet, though; it's several decades out.
It's planned.

Fix the courts. Arbitration is not a a fair fix. At least if a case has merit and the aggrieved can find an attorney who will take the case on contingency. Attorneys don't take contingency cases that they don't think they can win. That is the best check against frivolous cases.

I work on a non-dogmatic agile team. It works pretty well, but only because we have engaged, technically sophisticated stakeholders. We have a process, but the personal relationships and collaboration are really the meat of it.

I think our process (which is fairly informal) would fall apart if different people tried it.

Unless the US market has suddenly grown an appetite for Nigerian artists, I don't think it does.

Their primary target is Nigerians. Yet, the site's only means of payment is paypal. Paypal won't work for this market as the class of people they are targeting wouldn't have a credit card. Not all debit cards issued in that country works on paypal.

The country's e-commerce is in its infancy. Therefore, trust - especially with their fellow countryman with debit cards is currently low.

>offers users the ability to download music for ₦30 ($0.50)

50 cents is not ₦30. It's ₦99.49 according to Google. At this price, it's hard to see them succeeding because a pirated mp3 disc containing as many songs as the disc can fit is priced at ₦200 and sometimes less.
http://www.nairaland.com/125619/why-buy-pirated-cds-it

Additionally, they aren't really bringing anything new to the table apart from a fee and legality. There are lots of blogs where people can download songs in a single click at high quality and with cover art and some of the tags intact.

I just don't see this working. Even their target wouldn't mind paying ₦100 for a song, most would't be able to buy. If they really want to hit it big, they should solve the payment issue instead.
This should be a wake up call. This site really doesn't deliver anything of value. It doesn't really make you more social and it doesn't really connect you to people in the real world. So basically you spend 16,800 minutes a year on Facebook. That is 11 days of your life lost a year.
Input lag is the mortal sin of UI design, and it's ignored everywhere except on dedicated appliances (touch phone, microwave, fridge). Instant response is not a given. I wish OS designers treated the user as a real-time system with hard deadlines.

I learned code from QBasic and its help because books were in short supply at the library and there was no internet for me.

As much as Xcode or VS or Qt creator are great tools they seriously lack in that regard, as do most modern development environments. QBasic is very easy to learn and easy to use - and trying to solve hard problems with it requires some genuine skill and ability...
There was no previous assumptions there that caused impediment for learning.
This is a pretty terrible article on many levels:

- It says "Chernobyl hints", but there is no information about Chernobyl. The article itself says "We simply do not know" how many people died of cancer due to Chernobyl.

- The Radon spa study is very poor. We already know that going to any type of spa is going to improve your immune system, mainly due to the psychological effects. There was no control group in the experiment, so we have no idea if the radon had any effect.

- We already know that low-level radon exposure increases lung cancer risk.
I totally agree ... Don't waste your time reading this article. And if you ever have the opportunity to write an article yourself, remember one simple thing - if you're going to write several hundred words of content, you should try to tell your target audience something they don't know!
