I wouldn't really recommend the 1440p versions. I had one shortly, but I did not really found it comfortable to look at. If scaling is disabled text is too tiny, and scaling (probably 125-150%) does not work as good as with higher resolutions. I now have a 28" 4k screen for which a higher scaling factor can be applied and that looks much better (although still worse than a MBP with retina screen). I guess 24" or 27" with 4k would be also good.

I wonder why we are "trademarking" security issue since Heartbleed?
The app store on OSX is among the buggiest pieces of software I've ever used.

- on opening it's very slow to render the first screen

- on clicking, the "updates" tab is extremely slow to display anything.

- clicking to initiate an update often doesn't do anything, and multiple subsequent clicks are required

- once an update is initiated and downloading, the state is often inaccurate on the updates screen

- often after clicking "update all", only some of the updates actually begin. This happens on the IOS app store too.

This is with a fast (120 megabits per second) connection and a top of the line 15" macbook pro.
Also make sure you don't use it for any image formats that are processed by logic with the complexity of a small command-line interpreter. You'll risk a lot of XXE vulns with formats like SVG or MVG. To see some examples of said logic, have a look at 'convert -list delegate', for example.
Slightly off topic, but I wanted to use a password manager and installed Lastpass Premium. Great, except for the fact that it won't update passwords and often times fills in the wrong password despite my verifying that it actually stores the right one. It's completely unreliable. Thankfully, I haven't started resetting all my passwords, but that also makes the password manager useless. After paying for that, I wonder if there is a password manager that actually works and is reliable. I've read great things about many packages, but in almost every case, I've also read great things about Lastpass which is atrocious and was definitely not worth even $12 / year. Needless to say, I don't trust any of those reviews.
It also needs to be said that this is generally not a reasonable reason to pick C over Rust. Memory-safe languages are effective defenses against these flaws.
There are 2129 farmers in Iowa? I have to say that wasn't very clear.

Wait, so you want to blame absolutely everything on climate change, so that people get super scared and do something about it?

That doesn't seem dishonest to you?

For example the story in this article has exactly zero to do with climate change - but I assume you would be happy to blame it on climate change anyway?

> to avoid a whole bunch of extinction and ecosystem collapse

Really? Who is predicting that? Only in the worst case scenarios will that happen, and the data is not trending that way. You are so caught up in your desire to fearmonger-for-change that you have gone a full circle: Now you are trying to prevent a catastrophe you yourself invented.

And that attitude is why society's belief in the reliability of science has never been lower.

Tell the truth. Don't lie to get change.

If you exchange money for an exploit that you know will be used to commit a specific crime, you are an accessory to that crime. The CFAA doesn't have much to do with it.

Selling exploits in general is not that legally risky†. Prosecutors have to prove mens rea at trial, beyond a reasonable doubt. People sell bugs to anonymous marketplaces all the time.

The question isn't whether selling Facebook bugs to the black market is itself illegal. It's whether the DOJ could set up a sting to capitalize on the greed of people who would do that. Yes, they could.

† It's not not legally risky, either, especially in the case of bugs like these, where you've been given permission to attack Facebook's servers only in conjunction with their bounty program --- your civil liability to a website that doesn't run a bounty, if you sold a bug you found in their site and it was used in some way to harm them, could be astronomical.
GDP growth has no strict correlation to stock market returns. Why not? Because corporate profits (eg the S&P 500) can grow far faster than GDP, as they did from 2002-2014.

You should not expect stock market returns to mirror GDP growth. The S&P 500 is not strictly representative of US economic performance, which is precisely why the huge corporations did so well with the cheap dollar and significant global economic expansion while domestic locked companies didn't fair nearly so well.
On the issue of children, non citizens, etc., my personal view of the best way for a UBI to work are:

> What about children? Does a child get the same as an adult?

Maybe; if so, the child's allotment goes to the legal guardian (and, like the guardian's own UBI, is treated as income for tax and other purposes), but you also eliminate child-care related tax deductions and credits.

> What about non-citizens who are in the nation legally? What about non-citizens who are in the nation illegally?

I would lean toward saying citizens and legal permanent residents (green card holders) get UBI. Others do not (note that this includes non-immigrant work visa holders, like H-1Bs), though in the odd case of a non-UBI-eligible (but legally present) parent with a UBI-eligible child, the parent would be eligible to draw the child's UBI, just as a parent with their own UBI eligibility with a UBI-eligible child would.

> What about citizen children of non-citizens who are in the nation illegally?

That's...trickier. My preference would be that the citizen child would get an allotment, but that the guardian would have to normalize status to draw that allotment. The details of that are more for a discussion of immigration policy than UBI policy though.

An even trickier question is non-resident citizens, and particularly non-resident U.S. citizen children of non-resident non-citizens.
Perhaps a silly question, but if address space layout randomization (ASLR) is enabled, should it no protect against buffer overflows?
The exact text of the comic is:

"There is. In year 2015 the CEOs of Monsanto, DuPont Pioneer and John Deere combined made more money than 2,129 Iowa farmers."

Note 'combined'.
> But then, I've never understood why people think putting their template in a different file is somehow separation of concerns.

We can point our UX designer at this separate file and he can understand it, which would not be the case if it's buried in JS?
Cool! That clarifies things a lot - the way I read the article sounded like you rarely asked for reviews.
There isn't even a semblance of editorial separation anymore.

That separation did good things like give people a reasonable expectation that what was presented was more or less unbiased facts. Now more than ever, we don't have that. If one is smart and looking for the truth, you have to cross-check with other sources.

One says you might have had to do that always but, now everything is suspect. I don't mean that conspiratorially, I mean I have to think, "Could someone profit from me thinking this is true?"

For everything. I wouldn't be surprised if someone manipulated the weather reports slightly to raise sales of coats and umbrellas. It'd be so easy and could make a significant difference. "Your Weather Report is brought to you by Burlington Coat Factory"
Yes, there were and will always be amateurs and forums. Plenty of content is produced by people whose job is not to produce content.

Nobody was getting their news from the web in that era though. People still subscribed to print newspapers and magazines.

Content has moved online. Of course revenue had to move online as well (including advertising).
I agree the 80 dollar discount is irrelevant to the Chromebook but...

Yeah that is reasonable. Large companies can probably make a big difference.

Throughput. The single Ethernet port on the Pi only gets somewhere between 30 and 40 megabits. Some smartphones can exceed this on WiFi and higher end Internet connections will definitely exceed this.

That's for a single connection before you even get to NAT/firewalls/IPv6 and VPNs.

Note that I haven't put the Pi3 through its paces yet but the extra CPU and RAM won't completely compensate for the USB/Ethernet limitations.
Honestly I think this is a good list of questions to test out a search engine.

As far as interviewing a DevOps guy, maybe? I consider myself a decent DevOps person out of necessity, but questions like "How to add a new system user without login permissions?" would kind of annoy me, because that's the exact kind of thing I can't remember because I automated it years ago at my current job. I probably add a new user twice a week... from a Fabric script. I couldn't tell you if it's useradd or adduser because my workflow would be to google the exact wording of the question if I actually needed to do it manually for once.
All I know is the mobile browser version of the Google News experience now sucks. All links open internally. No more opening links in other tabs. It's disrupted my habit of opening a tab for all the interesting headlines and then reading, reading, reading.

Sounds like NN is a special case of something more general. I am interested in the field that studies these concepts from the first principles and in a more rigorous and general way. What's that field? Thanks.

The problem with your argument is that basic income isn't anything like a utopia or perfect world -- it's just enough to pay rent and buy food. Basic income for people is much closer to the treatment pet owners are expected to provide for their pets.

> The so-called “drums and trumpet school” of examining battles and generals isn’t the only game in town.

Might be nice if someone propagated this information to Wikipedia. Seemingly on every military-related article there is an attempt to shoehorn the conflict into a neat table listing "belligerents" and "casualties and losses", complete with little flags as if it's an 1800s-style cavalry battle [0]. As far as I can tell, the purpose of these tables is not really about providing an accurate summary of the conflict; it's about providing material so that war nuts can get their rocks off thinking about the violence.

[0] See, for example, the attempt to condense the Troubles into such a table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Troubles
That's competitive price comparing Digital Ocean (5$) or Vultr (5$ for 0.75 GB ram).

There's a lot that fits between automated tests and code review. We have an extensive system of static analysis and code quality bots that run, but there's still a lot of design patterning and higher level functionality that machines (or, at least, our machines) don't always catch.

Obviously, it depends widely on the codebase and the number/quality of engineers working on code, but it's been my experience that a team reviewing each other's code is still something that can't be 100% replaced with automated tests.

>You don't want to be working with someone who can't work with other people.

That describes me pretty well, and those with whom I work love me. They just keep me in my little box, leave me alone and let me do my work. But they are also a grown-up company that doesn't make people wear 27 hats. PMs do their job, Infrastructure does theirs, Client Support does theirs, etc. Not every job has the same requirements as every other job.
And Larry and Sergey gave Sundar Pichai 200 mil. not to jump from Google and Steve gave Tim Cook 400 mil. to stay on. It's their private business how they compensate their executives.
Partially agree. I do happen to think the cartoon raises a very valid point.

But... having known a lot of farmers they are indeed usually quite well off. And many of them are not aweshucks salt of the earth types people often perceive, but rather more like a sort of spoiled generational semi-duke or noble type thing looking down upon the little non-land owning commoners who they often pay very little and sometimes wantonly abuse.

That being said.. what was the guy thinking? He has to know who financially supports the paper. Maybe he was ready to do something else.
paging Barbara Streisand...(yeah its not perfect but its close)

Seriously though, at what point do people in leadership positions really internalize the influence and power of digital social networks. Social networks are not new, the have existed and spread information(and opinions)since the dawn of our species. Online versions in some form have existed since the telegraph/phone/usenet/facebook (take your pick). You cannot control the flow or spread of information, and you have almost no control over the framing it is spread with. This is a story about a cartoonist, for farmers, in Iowa being discussed internationally...

For christ's sake consider alternate points of view before you act in haste. You can find people of all points of view on the internet, but they seem to be united in opposition to schadenfreude and generalized stupidity/hypocrisy/hamfisted-ness under the guise of 'scandal' and knocking others down a peg. Stop feeding the beast.
Maybe the US should do what the EU does and ban such substances the moment there is some proof that they may do harm, and the burden should be on the industry to prove without a doubt that they don't cause harm.

Instead, the US government is trying to do the opposite by repealing such policies in the EU and making them more like in the US where anything is accepted until millions get cancer from it.
Two per site - one for main Q&A, one for its meta.
Agree with jccc... the point wasn't that a single farmer wasn't earning the same amount as 3 corporate CEOs, it was that the 3 CEOs earned more than 2000+ farmers combined.

Furthermore, I think you missed a level of insight about where the earning power is. That land may come with a mortgage and other liens. The trick is scrounging enough money to pay the mortgage every month on that land. Only after a lifetime of paying off the mortgage, does the typical farmer or rancher have enough equity in the land to make it a cash windfall when they sell.

I think the cartoon was commenting on the difficulty of making the farming business model work because of the tiny incoming cash flow from raising crops and being the frontline person working the land.
Having studied the fair tax in a fair bit of depth I can say that it probably would not penalize net spenders. In fact, they would probably be better off. Not only would you have more money to spend, but goods and services would likely cost less. There are numerous reasons for this given in easily accessible sources on the fair tax proposal.
There is no cartoon on this page
They are really completely different ecosystems, each with their own use cases, but off the top of my head:

1. Raspberry Pi boards (and rpi-similars) don't typically break out the ethernet interfaces, and require a USB>Ethernet.

2. Raspberry Pi boards (and rpi-similars) don't typically have onboard wifi, this means you will be putting all of your traffic over USB, which as AC rollout happens you don't have enough bandwidth/latency with USB 2.0

3. Raspberry Pi boards (and rpi-similars) don't typically have multiple ethernet interfaces.

A "Standard" OpenWRT router has between 2 and 5 onboard ethernet interfaces, a small power efficient processor, and between 1 and 6 onboard high power Wifi interfaces.

Now, Monowall/pfsense can be a great route to go, but even then you don't use an Rpi because you want your interfaces hanging off of PCIe instead of USB.
It at least holds for leadership positions in companies. I know at least Tracy Chou has acknowledged the weird position Asians find themselves in here considering they're massively over-represented when you compare U.S. demographics to tech company demographics.

I'm not sure how we measure the end game here as it seems to be more about getting to a point where anyone that wants to work in tech has that opportunity. That likely won't lead to a perfect match between tech demographics and the demographics of their communities but who knows.
No I did not claim this. I wrote that drug and alcohol abuse is affecting more homeless people than others. This is obviously one of the causes why the death rate for homeless people is higher.

But you are obviously not interested in a normal discussion since you just try to read something into my statements to attack me.
Of course, but it might be worth $100-200k if sold to a third party.

Edit: looks like I was wrong!
Companies like Facebook offer rewards as an incentive to get people to report bugs to them rather than to blog posts. The next highest bidder anywhere in the world for bugs like these is &epsilon;.
That's a naive view, and anecdata. Many farmers don't own their land but lease it. They're also subject to the whims of weather and the commodities market... not exactly a steady income.
Sorry, you are right, and I'm also probably wrong, because I remembered the preparation for the recent changes and forgot about the calm times. (And we are technically not in the EU.)
The number actually needed is a bit lower than that (I estimate half a billion), but the general question still stands.

Variable electricity needs already mean we use less electricity at night time [0]. Shift electricity expensive processes preferentially run at night to the day and using 80%/120% seems like a reasonable rough approximation. So we need 4,686,400,000,000 / 365 / 2 * 0.8 ~= 513,5780,822 kwh in the '12 dark hours'

Between current supplies nuclear hydro and wind we account for approximately 30% of electricity generation [1], on the assumption that electricity generation from these is constant, but can't be ramped up during the night, we get about 4,686,400,000,000 / 365 / 2 * 0.3 = 1,925,917,808 kwh. Leaving 3,209,863,014 kwh needed from storage, or 501,541,095 powerwalls.

Totally - I hope no one read it as anything otherwise. There's a wide chasm of "change" that can happen without the spec changing, was my main point.

We run a lot of static analysis on our code, which includes things like `go vet`, `go fmt`, etc. Between point releases, there's no guarantee that those tools aren't changing/adding tests and functionality, which has been one of the bigger sources in our work required to upgrade.

All in all, it really is a painless and usually positive procedure - a ton of those fixes were subtly broken things who's behavior has been clarified. I think of it as a positive thing.
I agree with this. Then there would be no need for a new tax right?
No, it would be worth much less than $10,000 to anyone else.

There is a specific kind of bug that is worth 6 figures on the black market: clientside remote code execution. Somehow, HN has gotten the impression that the going rate for the hardest bugs in the world to reliably weaponize is actually the going rate for all bugs everywhere.
It's interesting to see the stark contrast between the naysayers that don't have information to back their claims (such as comments sibling to yours), and the people who have looked at current tech and made realistic assessments like Oncor and Brattle.

A lot of people are willing to make confident, but very wrong, statements based on out of date information. It serves to protect entrenched interests and stop competition, but I have a feeling that disruption is far closer than anybody is publicly saying.
Why would current owners have to pay more and more in taxes just because Chinese fucks decided to invest their laundered money in real estate here?

Every time you apply for a new card, you get a hard pull. Credit agencies don't like too many hard pulls in a short period of time because it looks reckless to open so many new lines of credit at once.

It's unlikely that opening a new credit card from time to time will do serious damage to your credit. And over the long term, having a lot of credit available can be beneficial to your credit score.
Yes, "atrocious security" is not my reaction to a 15 year old MTA with two DoS and two RCEs.
I see this sort of defense a lot, and I find it interesting.

Some party does something many would find ill-conceived, reprehensible, or in some way greedy. Some other people come out declaring that the action wasn't illegal.

It's interesting to me, because often the legality of the situation isn't even in question (edit: as it is in this article).
Just to be clear however, the Fair Tax and a Flat tax are very different things that would have wildly different consequences to different people.
Yes it does need to be dried to burn well. I have split by hand an awful lot of seasoned eucalyptus and it is hard work and takes real skill. It is even worse here in Australia as due to the native pests the wood contains a lot more knots. You get used to taking a good look at a log and deciding if that is worth splitting or not.

You can cook with it, but you need to let the fire die down and cook on the coals only - that is unless you love the taste of cough drops.

On the topic of building with it even young eucalyptus is OK if you let the timber season while strapped so it doesn’t twist and warp. The only problem is that it become like iron and is impossible to nail. When I was a kid we had a huge supply of seasoned eucalyptus that my brother and I used to build all sorts of things. We had to pre-drill all the nail holes before we could use it. If you did this it was a 100x better structural timber than pine.

I agree. Not to mention that corn farming was not profitable at pre-recession commodity prices and even more so now without government subsidy.

In New Zealand, our main agricultural outputs (dairy and meat cattle) have recently gone into the unprofitable territory and it was only land speculation that kept the farms producing at the current level.
