I remember learning to program with QBasic as well. It was so much fun as a kid. I painstakingly drew out full scenes with line and circle commands for a small text based adventure game. Good times.
Even dev's can't cope. Most apps leak credentials severely. You need integratity verification, obfuscation and whitebox crypto to do this sort of thing securely.

All of that is available in the banking world and is often deployed by people like Irdeto (who I work for) and Arxan etc.
How do you know ? I don't think this statement can be generally until more tests are done. I would expect the result to change vastly mainly depending on the composition of the liquid.

Would be more impressive with a definition of charisma.

So I'll offer one - "charisma" makes voters (who are individually irrelevant) feel like important players the candidate really cares about.

It's simple demagoguery and flattery.

Conversely, when voters feel their craven prejudices are being ignored for rational policy reasons, they feel excluded and marginalised.

The conclusion is that most voters are like children who can be bought by a reassuring pat on the head to make them feel like mommy and daddy love them, and a promise of sweets after.

This is literally why we can't have nice things. Democracy needs adult policies debated rationally by adults.

If most voters can't make decisions in an adult way, they're easy prey for the grinning sharks who end up running things.
Vishal from WedWell here. Really appreciated the input from everyone who commented, and the votes. We're charging forward. Hopefully you'll see us in the next YC round ;)

Overall liked having an open forum for people to give feedback on our idea. We used some of that feedback to evolve the product, we even got some new clients from HN.

Changes for next year? I'd love the final run off to be a bit more like the final four, where you pit one start-up against another until there are only a few standing. Then YC can pick from the cream of the crop.

Thanks again
At many schools, "safe spaces" are designated by clubs sponsored by the university that meet in university-owned space in a building designated for student activities. That seems appropriate. Classrooms, by contrast, should be professional and constructive places where people agree to argument for the purpose of learning.

I work at a university. I hear from, say, a transgender student that math class is tiring because they have a peer who keeps humming "Lola." I can tell that student to stop taking away from class discussion, but I can't create a "safe space" in my math class by magic. I'm glad my student has a place to go to in the student activities center to figure out a response -- I don't want to be the point person on that! I just want to teach math. Students need other places where they can feel welcome and supported, even if people here on HN feel that it's somehow cowardly and unintellectual to want a place where they're normal, because student drop out otherwise -- the stats are clear.
This is a great example of what lobbying is and isn't. There are objectively good reasons to regulate e-cigarettes. And it's undeniable that tobacco companies are much more heavily regulated than e-cigarette companies. But it's also true that what hurts e-cigarette companies helps tobacco companies.
It's a red hot element too, I've never seen a vaping device with anything like good control over more than some basic resistance parameters. Basically you can vape over a cherry red wire, or a dull red wire. IIRC that's well over 800 degrees, which is past "vaping" in any real sense.

If you can cope with OAuth you can definitely manage TAuth. The cert and private key are just opaque things you pass to any HTTP client.
Ever since the Phoenicians invented money, there has only ever been one answer to that question.
edit: food for thought: think about Google and Go. Go is by design simple easy and boring. That's step 1. Now you need hundreds of people to write Go. Step 2: hire H1Bs. You're bored of writing simple code in Go day in day out? Well, we pay you well so get over it and you can't leave anyway even if you wanted. Step 3: programmers as a commodity.
Is that why irdeto.com does not use SSL on their site? Because you're not willing to manage SSL certificates?
I feel a little tingle of excitement seeing my own papers on Sci-Hub. I mean I get that they're trying to index all publications so it's not a "stamp or approval" or anything... but it does mean that people can actually access the knowledge I tried to throw into the world, which was kind of the whole point in doing it.

I'd update my academic website to link my papers to their sci-hub URLs if I didn't think I'd catch a world of flak for it.
As much as I love Stevie, teller.io and this demo: Why not both?

OAuth 2 is not "bad" in general, you just need to consider the implications of using it. If you have an API that allows clients to move customers' money or take out loans, you should take additional steps to defend against MITM attacks. For example using client side certificates :)

That said, TAuth looks really good and tidy. Of course the developer may still lose the private key, so in the end you'll always need to additionally monitor API requests for suspicious behaviour.
The onus is on the scientists. Elsevier does its job. If you were given a golden ring as a gift every day, I bet you would end up opening a jewelry shop as well. Even if scientists want to use alternative open access publishers, it's a game of who blinks first. They won't do it because their colleagues don't.
For the locking feature I'm not sure, but there are alternative DNS networks such as https://www.opennicproject.org
I'm not so sure that IPV6 is the necessarily the bright side of the Internet. Major problems:

1. Even more distributed crawlers than before. You used to need to at least know how to cycle through IPs or get a botnet up and running, now either the domain bans the entire subnet or it does other shitty things like putting up captchas.
2. People thinking obscure IPs in the IPV6 space are secure because "nobody could guess them so I don't need security" when in reality it's already an active attack vector due to the way clocks get adjusted leaking the IP.
3. It used to be that you couldn't just track someone forever because the IPs needed to get recycled. Now until I destroy a device there is a decent chance it can have the same IP for good, even if I run browsers in VMs with adblockers and scrambled browser fingerprints.

Obviously we all like a larger address space, but it's coming with some downsides.
I think that "looks like" is the active ingredient there.
Collective audience amnesia + use of weasel words like "now" + said audience's hard-on for anything encryption-related.
Oh, agree. But "just to chat" is not a legal reason, and the FBI in particular would have a fun time justifying hanging around watching for "furtive movements". That's why the first question out of their mouth when stopped in all those fun youtube videos is "am I being detained". They of course can detain you, but it establishes that it is a detention.
It's all about putting the year on there.
Yes, I think you're right in your conclusions.

As someone with UK and German bank accounts, I prefer the UK banks:

* Free real debit cards you can use online vs crappy card that only works in person

* Free, as long as you're careful not to go overdrawn vs frequently charge per month

* Usually free credit cards if you want one vs annual fee

* No charges for depositing cheques, cash, etc vs fees

* Withdraw money for free from any other UK bank cash machine (ATM) vs lots of fees

* Get paid 5 pounds/month for having a Halifax account!

UK banks are not good if you can't keep a positive balance, but if you're careful with your money they're great. The only issue I've run into UK banks is that they'll use bad exchange rates vs German banks, but they need to make money somewhere.

Hey Jonas! TAuth is simpler than OAuth 2.0 and doesn't suffer the same security issues. So… why use OAuth?
An area that Mandatory Binding Arbitration must be eliminated is elder care. It recently took our family a considerable amount of effort to find a good care either in home or a facility that did not REQUIRE binding arbitration clause plus an NDA for family member who now needs 7/24 care.

This industry hires inexpensive and untrained labor that regularly makes mistakes that injure customers.

The "customers" in many cases have dementia or cognition issues.

Mandatory Binding Arbitration is almost always bad for customers. The game board is tilted against them. Arbitrators must be agreed to by both parties, but companies are the primary repeat customers of arbitrators and will NOT select arbitrators that don't usually and regularly find for them.

Binding Arbitration as currently used should be eliminated as an option in all contracts. It should always exist as an option of the parties, but not be binding at the initiation of any service.

Binding Arbitration is a tool of companies to allow them to NOT be accountable to their customers AND prevent that lack of accountability to made public.

A mandatory binding arbitration clause in any contract presented to you should always be a warning flag that the other side does not intend to be accountable.

Never enter into such contracts if you can avoid them.
Not really, the quality is fine enough. And the other option (that takes up space) is called "Original Quality".

Politicians want you to believe that politicians other than themselves are not real people. It's what I call the "Mister Smith goes to Washington" syndrome. Encouraging cynicism among the electorate makes voters more malleable. Cynics can be trusted to believe or doubt statements which conform to certain biases, regardless of their actual truth, to be swayed by rhetoric, and to vote based on emotion rather than reason. I'm purposely differentiating between cynics and skeptics in this case.

Yet every successful politician by definition is "fake" in the ways that politics requires. As a result, politicians who are successful at a "down to earth, anti-establishment" facade appear more sincere, despite that being a political schtick that goes back to ancient Rome. Politicians who are sincere, but don't present that facade appear fake.

The fact alone that Donald Trump openly rejects appearing "presidential" while running for president should clue you in that there's a game being played. George W. Bush went to Harvard Business School and Yale, came from an elite family, and yet presented himself as a cowboy, like he'd just stumbled into the White House off of the turnip truck. And of course Obama is an example from the other side. He basically ran and won, and got a Nobel Prize, for not being George W. Bush.

If we respected politics as an art, and expected politicians to be experts in their fields like doctors or scientists, and we were engaged in the political process, then politicians would have to prove their worth by the weight and value of their ideas. But, we've been trained to hate politics, despise politicians, and to have no faith in the system. They just have to ring the populist bell and we drool.

Politicians also want you to believe the media is wholly bought by the other party, so that you'll dismiss criticism and attempts at in-depth interviewing as propaganda and 'hit-pieces.' If a Democrat runs, the media is a tool of the right, when a Republican runs, it's a tool of the left. Meanwhile, media companies are in competition, but they're also reporting on the same events, so to differentiate themselves they present biased reporting as unbiased and encourage people to believe that their competition can't be trusted. A belief in the fairness and sincerity of the media would mean less brand loyalty among media consumers.
... Who also happens to be a cryptographer and a programmer (at least according to the subject matter on his blog )..

He also managed to "sweet talk" and convince Gavin Andersen and others that he's for real...

I don't know. I cannot base my conclusion on opinions on what the Internet is saying. The noise level and the emotions are too high to make sense of it.

I've watched his interview, I've listened to what he said.

The man looks like he's serious and angry about everything... he also said that he will refuse any kind of award for it.

Being the inventor of Bitcoin is also a huge burden and risk so it's not easy what this man is going through..

At least in theory, that man can be Satoshi and my intuition tells me that he probably is, there's nothing more to it.
As someone who actually learned programming with JavaScript, back in IE 5 days, I agree. Writing dumb little "guess the number" games or copy-pasting snippets from DynamicDrive.com to study and adapt made it very easy to get started, and that you can upload it to a free host and share the link gives you an extra incentive.

I've since learned a few more languages, and I don't particularly enjoy writing complex JS programs, but I'm very glad it was there when I got started.
In the US, it's more likely for a locality to pay a developer (often in the form of tax credits) to build in its area or to pay a company to move there. The theory is that it'll increase the local tax base and be a net positive, but as you point out there are also externalities and additional burdens borne by existing infrastructure and citizens.
But to stretch my analogy, very few people live in the living room only. Classes, academic activities, sports teams, your dorm where an evangelical pro-lifer is stuck with a girl who already had an abortion in one room and where a gay farmer boy and a sheltered foreign student from Saudi Arabia are in another room -- those are where your ideas and beliefs are challenged!

Weird, Windows 10/8/8.1 have incredibly fast boot times compared to 7, especially if you're on a SSD. The Control Panel is the same as 7 was, the "Settings Panel" is what is new...but it has a search feature. Sounds like to me, maybe you barely tried it; also the "privacy concerns" have been disproven countless times.

Some people were deceived by a con artist named Wright. When he was called on it, he made a bunch of people think he was going to die soon, and made a bunch of other people feel marginally guilty for questioning his authenticity. Now, despite overwhelming evidence of trickery, despite perfect proof of his claims being trivially easy to create, there are still people in this very thread who think he's genuine. And probably will be for years to come, since those who believe him and defended him are emotionally invested in it, and those who disbelieve him will have ceased thinking about this embarrassing debacle a year from now.

Yes, it's a pretty good analogy.
One way to think about Angular is like this: Different modules on your page are broken down into components, which are like "regular" HTML tags except that they have JavaScript functionality attached to them. Your app is a tree of components.

React is great as well, but if you find Angular incomprehensible it's not clear you'll find React much easier.

One major difference between React and Angular is that the Angular community _tends_ to separate their templates from their "controller" code, whereas the React community _tends_ to intermix their templates with code ("PHP" style).

The result is that in Angular you have a few funny characters in your HTML to learn (e.g. `*ngFor="let foo in bar"` for looping) whereas in React you'll use JSX and use JavaScript for loops.

It's pretty clear to me that component-based webapps are here for the long haul. Even if WebComponents ends up being the future, the concepts you learn in using either Angular or React will be more-or-less transferrable.

It seems to me that Angular and React are becoming more similar over time. For typing, Angular uses TypeScript and React uses Flow. For data architecture, both communities are gravitating towards some sort of Flux (redux / ngrx). You can even use JSX in Angular if you want to.

Shameless plug: I've written a book on Angular 2 which talks through, step-by-step, how to understand Angular. The first chapter walks you through your first app and you can get it (for free) here: https://www.ng-book.com/2/
What a difference...
Kind of. Starting from 49, the <keygen> feature needs to be whitelisted per web-site. Client certificates are not anymore imported automatically, only downloaded (user action needed to load into the keystore).

Necroing this, but the proper thing to do is just don't indefinitely jail people without proof of something rather than "requiring" such a showing(you can't really require it since, barring torture/some kind of mind probe, the person can always sit in jail indefinitely and refuse).
Just being a web developer/UX expert - if you are really good at both - is already a pretty defensible position, although perhaps not a very rare one. Leveling up in HCI will help.

Another part to consider for your career strategy: if you can convince your boss that it's in his/her best interest to send you to a course or conference in topic X, that will give you both more knowledge and a semi-official "local expert" status. Once you're recognized as the local expert at X, people will bring all the hard/educational X problems to you, letting you level up quickly.

(This works best if the topic comes up quite often, but not so often that everyone has an opinion. Every web dev has some basic UX skills, but consider e.g. Information Architecture, A/B Testing, etc. - or some kind of clear "needs more-than-basic UX" category. Someone who actually knows his HCI would be in a better place to help you define the latter category, I'm afraid.)
Must be British... "authorisation" ?
California is a unique snowflake when it comes to planning and development. Mostly due to a number of issues:

1) Prop 13 allows commercial property owners to avoid tax reassessment when the property is transferred (they sell the shell company owning the property rather than the property itself so the property doesn't trigger a reassessment) . This means a lot of property owners are paying 80s or 90s levels of property tax rather than the amount they should be paying under current rates thus depriving cities of revenue.

2) NIMBYs. CA and especially the Bay Area is full of people that are supportive of building more infrastructure or housing as long as it isn't built where they live. They fear that any kind of infrastructure (roads, public transit) or new development (affordable housing) will bring "the wrong sort of people" into the area and affect their property prices. Cupertino and other valley cities are notorious for not building enough housing relative to the number of office space for this reason.

3). Environment impact studies. Any proposed development needs one of these and if your plan gets sucked into the detailed version then it can take years or even decades to get the project approved. If people don't approve of your development then generally they get lawyer-ed up and file a review. This will stop most developers cold as nobody wants to spent years and potentially millions dollars in court before they can break ground.

So there you have it. It generally considered to be impossible to get any large infrastructure project built in California in under 20 years. See the high speed rail project. 19 years to deliver a link between two nowhere towns (Merced and Bakersfield). China is positively rolling in the aisle with laughter.

Perhaps this is what should stop. I don't want big corporations determining my culture for me. And if they do, perhaps they should accept being pirated.

Publishers work is not needed, it can be distributed among authors who can do it at a negligible cost.

Typescript isn't Javascript. I gave it a try already,for 2 years, and I used Angular 1 in production, I'm moving to something else like React or Vue.js, both supporting actual Javascript (even JSX isn't necessary). Good luck with your non standard syntax like decorators... Angular 1, despite its internal complexity, was just one file dropped in an html page and you're ready to go. There was nothing that mandated a complete rewrite with breaking APIs at first place. I complained to Igor 3 years ago about it. Well let's see how it goes.
> O(N) describes an algorithm whose performance will grow linearly and in direct proportion to the size of the input data set

Nitpick, but this is technically wrong. There needs to be a "no faster than" somewhere in there. Merge sort is, for example, included in O(2^n) by the actual definition of big O (vs big theta, which is defined as a tight bound). So there exist algorithms that are O(N) that don't grow linearly.

f(x) is O(g(x)) just means there is some constant K such that f(x) <= Kg(x) for all x beyond some value. This has nothing to do with 'worst case performance'.
