Generally breakfast comes after a 10-12 hour fast for most people, so I don't think this is the way to think of it.
The article points out research that indicates that brighter lighting doesn't have a measurable effect on either crime or car safety.

Quayctl: Pull to rkt or Docker Over BitTorrent
Actually, that's false. The principles of Toyota are rooted in statistical quality control, passed down by Walter Shewhart and W. Edwards Deming directly to the Japanese after WWII.

Sure, indirectly, Henry Ford made strides in both scientific management (alongside but not directly associated with Taylor), and moreso, respecting his workers. But the holistic management philosophy that Deming pushed forward was as much a revolt against Ford-era factory ideas as it was based in them; similarly, you might say the core values of Agile were initially based on how IBM ran their software development—nothing but a distant relative.
Huge, huge amounts of drug discovery is funded by governments[0] around the world. Pharmaceutical companies step in to fund the trials after the promising results come out. A lot of the trials take place in India under ethically concerning conditions[1].

It seems sad and logical that the botnets of the world will gradually be programmed to loot everything of present or future value.

I have some very non-tech friends who keep an old machine they know is horribly infected around just to play games. Lots of average folks don't have the incentive to fight infection and lots of companies equally don't have a strong incentive stop it.
They don't. So why are so many municipalities installing the white ones, to the detriment of quality of life on residential blocks?
But also a lot of inferior talent flooding the market, and lowered artistic standards since it's impermanent. I predict a ton of shitty tattoos if this takes off.

Meanwhile, my tattoo artist still keeps a huge blade in his drawer from when parlors in NYC were illegal, and prime targets for robberies. To be an artist then required a commitment.

Fasting, while accurate, is kind of deceptive too, since most of those hours are spent asleep. Very few people burn of their previous day's intake by the time they've woken up, or even close to it.
Looked at the HN profile page. It doesn't have contact information, doesn't indicate the Bay area, and there's tangential narrative that is more likely to provide an excuse than a reason to an investor.

Curious about the number of current users and their engagement, retention and growth.

Good luck.

Project Xanadu had something like that. Of course, it is barely working.
Certainly not the whole point. An autonomous vehicle that can drive me around exactly as safely as I can drive myself is a vast improvement over the status quo, in which commuting is a significant waste of my time.
It's time to rethink mandatory password changes
I think that's a good point.
Curious about your current level of expertise in those areas.
Wouldn't the scars show up after laser removal, effectively making laser removal moot?
If you want to get distribution on this you should post it on Medium.com and not from your own website. It'll get more attention.
True, I think a good policy is to eat when you're hungry. Not sure the body was necessarily meant to be constantly processing food all the time anyway.
It's nearly impossible to talk about security in government orgs without extreme bike shedding regarding password length, changes and special characters.

It's not only about security - we have to factor out usability to prevent yellow stickers with "hard passwords".

2FA gives both usability and security and easy detection of dictionary attack against system - it could allow for even deliberately leaking passwords and then monitoring honeypots.
At least in a private industry context - tis is the #1 reason how developers often justify over-engineering. Actually, vast majority of software either never ships or fails to achieve any meaningful use / market leadership (i.e. no one buys it), because the engineering team was too busy future-proofing it. The truth is, your software is most likely to become irrelevant lightning fast (remember the 90s?), and you should consider yourself lucky to incur maintenance debt :)
Deep Learning systems are great at learning one thing really well, given enough data. Humans are able to learn novel things with limited data because we can apply all the other data and learning we've previously done. And that's the barrier to this sort of thing, imho.

There's only a (relatively) small number of training examples in FoldIt, but a Deep Learning system would needs thousands or millions before it would generalize.

Or maybe there's a great new research paper that will break through that limit. It's such an exciting time for the field!

When I was multiday camping and bicycle touring over mountainous terrain, I tried skipping breakfast once (it takes extra time), and it left me strikingly weak.

Very different energy demands from office work.
> Hell, can someone tell me if it's dead simple to install OpenBSD with full disk encryption?

Dead simple. Full disk encryption on OpenBSD is a discipline of softraid(4). One bioctl command during the install will initialize a hard disk with true full disk encryption. When I say true, I mean, no separate un-encrypted /boot partition like LVM on LUKS requires.
If it's 33% of your meals then 33% of your kcal isn't an unreasonable place to start ;)

I'd be surprised to hear that this is common, though. I was actually going to suggest that for this supposed most important meal of the day, the options for breakfast are not very substantial. I have a bowl of cereal (2 x weetabix + semi-skimmed milk) - all of 150kcal. Add a cup of tea and it still won't be past 175kcal. Suppose I have to get up early for whatever reason and treat myself to an extra weetabix to make up for it - 250kcal.

This seems to be enough for me (suggesting that perhaps breakfast's importance is indeed overblown - not that I'd like to go without it), but it's not very much. I ate a slice of quiche for lunch today that was more than that.

I don't disagree with you at all that there's probably not a scheming executive trying to maliciously mine and sell the spice of Arrakis, but it might be instructive to understand why large conglomerates like this might end up in such a position simply as a matter of emergent behavior.

It's a sports startup!

Well, not quite. As he says in the article, the team can't get promoted the way teams do in Europe. So there isn't the possibility of a large financial reward by being "successful" at running the team.

"Drivers will have to undergo fingerprint-based background checks done by the city.."

I would have voted "yes" because of that language. Fingerprint based background checks are great to see if you have a previous criminal record, but many many people have no criminal records up to the moment where they get arrested for the crime they committed.

Also, how much would the background checks have cost? How often? I'm a Paramedic in the state of Texas, and my employer requires me to have a "City of Dallas Ambulance Operator" permit, even though I do not work within the City of Dallas at all. The city has found this whole "background check" process to be a cash cow. I went through a background check for school. i went through another one for my state certification. I went through yet another one for my employer, and now I need to do an annual one for just the City of Dallas. It used to be $17 for a 3 year card, but now it's something like $40/year. Oh, and you're required to show proof of a defensive driving course. Last time I went, they were refusing to accept EVOC (Emergency Vehicle Operators Course, designed for, well, operators of emergency vehicles) and instead requiring the same defensive driving course that people use to get out of a traffic violation.
Oh, and we're in the same boat as taxi drivers, limo drivers, tow truck drivers, etc.... what happens when the next city over decides they want a piece of that pie too? Would I have to get a permit for Dallas, Mesquite, Plano, Garland, Frisco, etc? Why would something like this need to be a city by city issue and not something that the state could handle? It's not like Dallas and Houston running the same fingerprints are going to get different information. (Well, they shouldn't..)

The regulations seem like they're just opening too many doors that they shouldn't.
I am very happy to see startups like this.

Convenience factor from Uber - when ordering taxi i am not sure if it will be in my place in 20 minutes. In Uber i am very sure. Same apply here - task will be made in 48h or not.

I imagine future startups all like these - when user will be starting a chat with AI that will route him for humans or another AI to finish the task.

I was unaware that people trolled for any other reason than amusement. Is there an estimate of how frequently people troll for calculated (e.g. monetary) reasons?

So my take is that she says trolls act as a kind of solvent to the natural bonds of community, and she lists a few frequently used constructions. I suppose the only beneficial use of trolls and trolling is to destroy communities of little worth. If trolls successfully kill even one terrorist cell, can we really call them evil? (And I'm not trying to troll with that question, I'm serious!)

EDIT: I mean "let's blow up a school bus of infidel spawn" type terrorist, not the "I'd rather not repeal the 1st, 4th, and 5th Amendments to feel more secure" type 'terrorist'.

The Post-Recession World Doesn’t Scale
Here is a great, very accessible video where the CTO of MobileEye (which provides some of the components for Tesla's "autopilot") explains his views on the challenges of end-to-end learning for autonomous vehicles, and why it's preferable to decompose the problem instead (still using deep learning for the decomposed modules). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCMXXXmxG-I

I'm inclined to agree, especially because it helps in 1) providing diagnostic information (such as the great driving visualizations shown in the video), and 2) makes it easier to incorporate algorithms and sensors (like with Google's cars) as a redundancy in case the neural network hits a crazy edge case.
Except they haven't even visited the location, according to the article.
Uber and Lyft End Rides in Austin to Protest Fingerprint Background Checks
I was just bringing this up as a possible thing the other day at work. It was always weird to me how marketed breakfast was. The irrational vitriol I received only further convinced me how much breakfast (specifically grains heavy) is due to marketing.
Whoa. I was not expecting that. Welcome! May all of Hacker News learn from your grace.
Thanks for sharing, great tool!!, this boilerplate is a nice way to get started for new project.
I wish some of my clients understood that.

One just ruined all the goodwill they built up with me over the past year (which got them countless free hours, crunch time at short notice, etc.) by stiffing my company of about a grand - literally a few hours' work - on some badly structured justification, the real reason being he felt his colleague was not negotiating hard enough with me and he "showed him".

Now I'm going to stick to the contract hours and probably prioritise other work over theirs; I also changed the payment terms to be upfront to avoid stiffing, and if they want extra hours, guess what, their sticker price went up from their discounted price for longstanding cooperative clients to "market rate". I guess the thousand bucks is visible and the value they lost isn't, so he probably thinks he was very successful.

It bewilders me that someone can be in business for years and not understand that cooperation is a better strategy, but there are a lot out there. I've found the short term cost of cooperating with defectors worth it in the long run, though.
I can tell you working as a federal contractor or employee in an IT department that complex passwords are hard for most people to remember.

We always had to change the password for people who forgot their password to "Password" or some other easy to remember word, and then they are supposed to change it when they log on but more often than not they don't even bother to change it.

So you got administrative accounts to all of the managers because they want access to everything to monitor employees. When those accounts got an easy to guess password then crackers can get in and mess with stuff.

It isn't just people outside the organization, people inside the organization want to crack databases and steal stuff so they can sell it.

I worked for a law firm and some people in the business office had DDOS tools to take out my machine because I was a programmer. I wrote a funtion called SQlFilter that filtered out SQL control codes and tripled up single quotes so they couldn't do an exploit in SQL to drop tables or edit data. I wasn't very popular for writing that function.
I've done the opposite actually. My breakfast is my single largest meal, with every other meal throughout the day being small. For me, my body prefers to have energy throughout the day, and doesn't like having food in my stomach when I sleep. Sometimes I go to bed "hungry" but at least I don't get indigestion or heartburn.
These have been made with 30 seconds exposures. But in dark places like Death Valley the sky looks pretty similar. You can easily see the band of the Milky Way with the naked eye.
A lot of people on the go tend to grab donuts, bagels and the like which can add up to a lot more.

Wasn't TSX only enabled on Xeons to begin with?
> TMSU does not alter your files in any way: they remain unchanged on disk, or on the network, wherever your put them. TMSU maintains its own database and you simply gain an additional view, which you can mount where you like, based upon the tags you set up.

I'm not so sure this is a great design decision. Now your tags are only in your sqlite file, and you'll have to work extra hard to get a copy of the relevant tags when you backup/copy etc.

I think storing tags in extended attributes[x], and possibly a separate utility that maintains and index (hopefully shouldn't be needed just for the tags, but might help with a) exposing file-level tags (like ID3, exif, file-type (magic number) etc), and b) allow for automatic organization based on full text and other content-based indexing.

It appears, on a * nix system, the only major reason to stay away from extended attributes (apart from the limit on size of tag data) is NFS. But samba should (AFAIK) work fine with extended attributes.

As far as I can gather, Gnome Beagle is dead, and Gnome Tracker[t] has taken its place. But it's not crystal clear if Tracker will index tags placed in files' extended attributes or not. If I understand correctly, Tracker's own tagging utility, will only place/edit tags in the Tracker database/index. But the indexers will certainly honour file-level tags for some files.

I don't really use full Desktop environments, but some kind of system with inotify support, and a Xapian or similar back-end (like Tracker), does seem like a good idea. It would certainly be nice to see such a system implemented in Go, but I think an architecture along the lines of Tracker is probably worth keeping: A database daemon, an indexer and a set of query/view tools (I'm not a fan of the centralized tag database, though).

Another alternative to Tracker would be Recoll:

Indeed, the only distros in the Linux world with installers that even come close are Alpine Linux (which is obviously heavily influenced by the OpenBSD installer) and Slackware Linux, coincidentally two of the better Linux distros for those who prefer a more BSD-style approach to managing the OS proper.

Alpine needs a little work in the desktop OS department, and is painfully lacking in a few essential packages for daily computing, but it's come a long way in a short time. Meanwhile, Slackware is due to drop 14.2 on us any day now, and has seen vast improvements over the past few years. Both are worth a look if OpenBSD for some reason doesn't work on one's system.

But having said that, OpenBSD is a cut above any other open source OS when it comes to stability, clean code, and well written, complete, thorough documentation.
I can't figure out what the list of examples is supposed to have in common, beyond "something isn't perfect".
The problem isn't being certain that's what you'll want in a year. Every tattoo parlor, car dealership, and wedding chapel has plenty of people who are certain. The problem is being right.
No. They wouldn't.

You keep trying to equate tax exemption with tax avoidance, and you're still wrong for doing so.

A Church is a community organization, and is exclusively community-funded. Asking not to be taxed on income donated to any community focused org is reasonable in anyone's eyes. I don't think anyone is going to worry about taxation if the org you donate to goes on to fund a terrorist attack or organization.

There is a difference between requesting exemption from taxation on income that is donated to community orgs, because ultimately that money goes back to the community, whether through taxation or philanthropy.

Creating a shell corporation in the Cayman Islands, with an anonymous board of directors based in Switzerland, and dumping all of your liquid assets into said fund, which then purchases all of your non-liquid assets, is clearly tax evasion.

What you seem to fail to comprehend is where the money ends up and why. Whether money is taxed or donated, it goes back to the community, where everyone should give a portion of their income to.
Hiding it, legally or illegally, to keep that money for yourself, is immoral and will hopefully be made illegal.
I dont know why but if I skip breakfast I will 100% get a headache later during the day. Not sure why it's happening...
It's great, isn't it? I also like to get a bit of fiber and complex carbs in, and like you, some caffeine. Nothing huge, just something to keep the stomach remembering what it's supposed to do for the rest of the day. After the first week or so of doing it, I haven't wanted more either, how about you?

Right. I see them a couple times a week, and once in a while, they pass me while I am on my bicycle.

I will admit that once I became aware of a Google car coming up to pass me on my left, and I did a little jink toward it on my bicycle. It reacted conservatively but decisively. It didn't jump into another lane or slam on its breaks. It just quickly gave me some more room and gently passed.

Kind of creepy, but very cool.
UserVoice Security Incident
Totally agree, and also breakfast is the 'easiest' meal to skip as well, along with mooted benefits of extending your overnight fast.
Fair point about UGC; Viv has as good a chance as all the other competitors to make it work. What do you mean by "auto query optimization"?

There is definitely no one routine that works for everyone, and learning what it is that fits you best has to be it. I imagine there is a huge lifestyle factor at play too, not to mention general things like a tendency to some acid reflux.

Let me save you some time. Here's the beef. The rest of the article is prognostication and the names of many famous research institutions.

The team’s obfuscator works by transforming a computer program into what Sahai calls a “multilinear jigsaw puzzle.” Each piece of the program gets obfuscated by mixing in random elements that are carefully chosen so that if you run the garbled program in the intended way, the randomness cancels out and the pieces fit together to compute the correct output. But if you try to do anything else with the program, the randomness makes each individual puzzle piece look meaningless.

This obfuscation scheme is unbreakable, the team showed, provided that a certain newfangled problem about lattices is as hard to solve as the team thinks it is. Time will tell if this assumption is warranted, but the scheme has already resisted several attempts to crack it, and Sahai, Barak and Garg, together with Yael Tauman Kalai of Microsoft Research New England and Omer Paneth of Boston University, have proved that the most natural types of attacks on the system are guaranteed to fail. And the hard lattice problem, though new, is closely related to a family of hard problems that have stood up to testing and are used in practical encryption schemes.
I just stop eating earlier, which accomplishes the same thing for me. If I lived different hours, I'd probably switch up my routine just like you suggest. This all started for me though, because once I got out of my teens I stopped being hungry in the morning. I think we all have to do what works best for us, in the long run in terms of health, but also comfort.
Graph databases. They can handle your big data! Wait... did you say you had gigabytes of data? Multiple gigabytes? Oh dear, you're going to need to scale up to an enterprise cluster. What sort of madman would keep a whole gigabyte of graph data on one poor little computer?

Riak 1.x. Anyone remember Riak Search? Not the one in 2.x that offloads it to Solr (I don't know if that actually works), but the one before that, the one they deprecated before there was anything to replace it with.

Any database that promises that you can solve your problems with MapReduce. The developers do not actually want you to MapReduce inside their database. It will probably stall your database so hard it makes it unavailable. Their sales people made them put it on the feature checklist.
