Still very alpha, specs currently are STM32F446RE (ARM M4), ESP8266 (WiFi, for control from a computer, phone...) and an accelerometer on-board. 9 channel servo control with current sensing, JTAG/USB for programming, i2c and serial interface for talking to it from an arduino, raspberry pi or other microcontroller. We're not expecting to have much GPIO free, and as I said, the firmware it's running is kinda complex, so we're not expecting most people to change it.
Yes, this is exactly why Vox exists. Which is both why Vox is the best place for that article and the place where its core message will go unheard.
Yes I can, my 2008/09 MacPro has had just about every part besides the motherboard upgrading since, and it's still running strong. That's my point about the new "trashcan" ones, and no new MacPro TOWERS replacing them.
I think you make some good points, though I think some of your remarks are a tad too aggressive. Some rebuttal: Your first link is to a trial on ketamine that is currently ongoing, so hasn't reported any results. The second mentions some promise in ketamine for clinical usage, but that doesn't dispute my point that depressants will exacerbate many of the symptoms of clinical depression.

> Given that it's a party drug taken in much-higher-than-clinical doses at raves where people dance for hours on it ...

You can make the same point about alcohol: people routinely ingest large amounts of alcohol and can still engage in lots of physical activity, despite it being a depressant.

Ahh, but we accept the unbounded authority of law to dictate far more than our internet: our property, our freedom, and (unfortunately) our very lives. What reason is there to expect the government not to regulate every other aspect of life with data from the internet? At least Comcast can't do that.

> They say to factor about 1 months of job searching for every $10k of salary you seek, and I have found this to be highly accurate when searching in New York and in Boston -- certainly also true in SF.

What position are you talking about? I have had the opposite experience; in the past decade job hunting in the valley has never taken more than 3 months, and even in the 3 month case it's been because I wanted to slow down the process - the employers wanted to move even faster.

> But in general, this is just false. My experience, at least, and the experience of many tech colleagues I've had, contradicts your claim.

I have had the opposite experience in the bay area. What positions are you looking at? This doesn't sound like the typical experience for any engineers that I'm aware of. Maybe things are very different on the east coast.
I skimmed the article and didn't find the answer. I guess, nothing?
Is node.js really ready for mainstream? I've coded javascript for 10+ years and I sometimes laugh at the state is in right now. There's a reason why we are experiencing javascript fatigue and that's because it's not mature to the point it should be mainstream yet. Recently the language tried to tackle the callback hells with es7 async/await but it's way too hacky and I believe it's got quite a ways to go before the language can be used to develop elegant/pragmatic codes.
The font size slider is incredibly annoying. There should at least be a field to manually input a size as well. Having fonts jump from 8px - 22px with no space between is useless.
Oh, that's just ridiculous. You can't count 27 years of lawsuits in the "real" cost of building a plant, if people actually wanted to. If we were going to start building lots of plants, there's been plenty of proposals to standardize the designs.

How Ursula Franklin made me a technology journalist
Improvement in battery technology is relative. You do not need superlight lithium-something batteries for general energy storage. The only questions for such systems are price per kWh, life-time and somewhat good input/output ratios. But especially the last may become unimportant as energy becomes really abundant. It is the same reason why power2gas may become interesting: only 40% energy efficency are sufficient when you produce 5 time your domestic need in a winter storm.

I do like their fries--though that's about the only thing. To me, McDonalds has better fries than places like In-and-Out but their burgers are far inferior.
If nobody were to step in and instead let Comcast, et al do whatever, the internet would be crap. Pure crap.

We can argue how it got that way, but apparently nobody wants to fix that, so it's a pointless argument to have.
People need to be aware of the distinction between criticizing cultural/sub-cultural mores/ideologies and criticizing individuals. In the US, the two seem to get very often confused.

Individuals are individuals. Sub-cultural mores are products (distortions) of the media. The two are not the same. However, the latter seems to have tremendous power in framing public debate.
In context, I'm pretty sure it was just saying "Unlike computation, bandwidth, and memory size, we haven't seen much improvement in latency, and even if we focused on it, we have a very clear limit we can't get past".

I.e., latency is -always- going to be an issue, for everyone doing anything distributed; it will never go away, or become so small as to effectively be ignorable. You can trim the fat, which can improve the real-world experience of certain things, but it doesn't actually solve, or even simplify, the hard edge cases. It just may make them rarer.
There was a time when if you wanted to transport yourself or your goods across say Europe or China, you needed to hire mercenaries and they would protect your business from bandits on the way.

At various times (Mongols, US Navy vs pirates etc) governments stepped in and provided that protection (for a lesser price) and trade grew.

I'm not too sure how governments can provide protection in the online realm. Perhaps by providing minimal standards of security? (I know the standards exists but enforcing them?)

However, now my iPhone is FBI-resistant, and public keys are fairly easy to share, it seems that secure peer to peer communication is feasible.

So the shape of a more secure, bandit free internet is clearer - hardened mobile devices, and much much stricter standards that are enforced, but it seems an odd new world.
Yes. It's on the about page.

Not just in poor neighborhoods. I worked at one in high school... There were all sorts of regulars who'd stop in, especially in the morning.

> More likely the next stop is Congress.

Well, if by "next" you mean "previous, current, next, and always"; Republicans in the Congress have been pushing to explicitly prohibit FCC Open Internet action since before the 2010 Open Internet Report and Order. The only thing they've gone after more has been the Affordable Care Act.

But that's a different track than the legal challenges, which have been the only place where neutrality opponents have had concrete victories in the past.

Not all characters in the font are displayed. If you look at Open Sans, the description says it has 897 characters, but only 290 are shown.
How much weight does the frame support? Does the weight need to be centrally located? I'm thinking this would be very nice with one of those small touchscreen displays attached to it.
By all accounts the government already has all data from the internet; whether they use it in law enforcement action and whether they regulate ISP's QoS policies are separate matters.
The "bad guys" will remove the regulations and let the existing regional monopolies and duopolies do whatever they want.

It's a lot easier and generates less noise than changing the rules to be openly biased while accomplishing the same thing.

Just look at what cable companies are doing after regulation requiring unencrypted basic cable service was removed. Companies are requiring users to rent a proprietary DTA; when their TVs already support clear QAM, so there is no valid analog spectrum freeing argument.

That deregulation was done by the FCC under different management than it is now (~2012 iirc) and in the declaration all of the commissioners were patting themselves on the back and saying what a huge win it was for consumers.

Now, 4 years later, the government is having to look at regulating set top boxes in general so that consumers can actually have choices, own the equipment in their home, and not be locked to a provider.
Thanks Jayme!

Svetha (CEO & co-founder) came across conditional cash transfers (CCTs) while doing research in effective ways of giving AID in developing countries. CCTs have seen incredible success in Mexico, Brazil, and several other countries.

The current idea was a pivot after trying to fund CCTs through partners in various countries. The focus was to save lives through CCTs. Infant mortality is a big problem and Nigeria accounts for one out of three children born with HIV. That's how the org started doing CCTs for reducing HIV transmission and has now expanded beyond HIV transmission.

Ask HN: What are some good resources and patterns for authentication?
The oauth guide[0] is incomplete and outdated but helpful. Auth0 has a lot of good information and stackoverflow does as well, although a bit balkanized.

Do you have resources or design patterns for authentication that provide a conceptual walkthrough of the components. Not the implementation, but the design & possibly routing diagrams of:

* creating a new user & account routing & login

* confirming email and moving user from temp to verified account

* transactional email & alerting user of sign ins as well as password updates.

* 2fa

Scotch.io has a pretty good guide I looked at a few years ago. It is great for a beginner side project, but most guides seem at that level. Get password, use bcrypt, verify, send token/cookie.

Have we considered crafting an agency as an information infrastructure policy steward, with the explicit intent to prohibit and prosecute any local and state regulations which would harm the proliferation of information infrastructure.

Probably this is not the FCC since its mandate is too broad. But if some such agency had the ability to force municipalities to allow private infrastructure investment, we might start to get the internet we want pretty quickly.

I agree that McDonald's has the best fries in the game.

Although In-N-Out's fries (when ordered plain) are some of the worst. As is custom, Animal Style is the way to go!

Depends a great deal on how you define "superior". McD's has the singular advantage of being generally self-funding.

No, it isn't the profanity we care about, but the baitiness. Titles that stir up drama or controversy aren't a good fit for HN—the discussions are inevitably primed by the titles, and those are the kind of discussions we hope to avoid.

No, they are effectively the same thing.

To get 60fps your video card needs to push out a frame every 16ms.
If say 6ms of this is actual in card processing and 10ms is CPU/API overhead and you add to it another CPU call + system memory access that adds 30-35MS latency you are now operating at ~50ms per frame which means that you can only output 20 frames each second.
Yes, you hotlink the web font files from their servers. Much like their public DNS servers, their public font registry pays them in data.
sounded correct to me. You just misunderstood, undrstandable. "Google Font" is the name of the product. If the title was "Google's fonts redesigned", then I'd agree.
Just the tech giants have the best security people? How about large banks, hedgefunds and other financial services, security contractors/private military and governments?
I've seen it called the "regressive left" in a few places.
> decide it in an international court all parties can agree on

An international court is about to rule on a dispute between the Philippines and China. China has said ahead of time that it will ignore the court's ruling and furthermore, AFAIK, will accept no outside authority. They insist it's only between them and the Philippines - a 'negotiation' that the Chinese can dominate through sheer power and coercion.

> there is no obvious reason why they should switch to a US style expeditionary military with world wide ambitions.

There are many obvious reasons: China has global interests and therefore needs global power, and desires to be the world's dominant power. Regardless of the reasoning, it's already happening:

* China has become highly aggressive and is threatening many of its neighbors and their territories, including Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, India, and South Korea (indirectly via their ally in North Korea). They also threaten the United States and other nations from Europe to Africa to Australia with retaliation if China's wishes aren't complied with.

* China already is building military infrastructure from Djibouti in the Horn of Africa to the Indian Ocean (the 'String of Pearls' bases) to the South China Sea.

* China is building economic infrastructure (which can have as much influence as military) throughout Eurasia (Silk Road), Africa, and even the Americas.
This thread seems like its become a de-facto community center for high horses.
What if things are going well? They're shutting down a remote office that sold to customers they are no longer focused on. They have plenty of money so the headcount reduction is totally unnecessary from financial perspective.

It's difficult now. It wasn't before cable companies bought them all.
It seems bizarre that industries that like low energy prices aren't taking advantage of this. I think that's fertilizer production, aluminum production, bitcoin mining, and I assume a lot of other things.

I assume the reason is that these "negative prices" are just fictions, only available to a few select existing customers, ie artifacts of regulation.

But the article is actually too vague for me to understand what the actual regulatory and political constraints of the situation are.

Building the Internet of Wrongs
IMHO, if Google has scratched your itch, then I think I would find something else that needs to be done.
What are the specifics in regard to peering? It seemed like with Netflix there was some confusion and FUD and it was hard to know the exact facts.

Normally as a business you are required to purchase bandwidth from bandwidth providers. I would assume this would still stand.

What counts as throttling? If an ISP has multiple peering connections with backbone providers are they forced to upgrade their hardware to compensate for all the traffic coming from their peer? If so, what counts as sufficient quality?

If they upgrade some peering connections and not others is that breaking Net Neutrality?

My understanding, not sure if it is correct, was that Netflix had traffic on an Internet backbone and Comcast was selectively throttling traffic within the peering connection based on whether it was Netflix traffic. I can see how that is discriminatory and wrong.

Anyone have more details about how all this works specifically?
I remember showing a new engineer who'd never seen
any Haskell before monads on a whiteboard and he
after I explained monoids and functors and then monads,
he just nodded and said "oh, okay, makes sense".
He wasn't bluffing - he actually internalized the concept
that quickly.

This is amazing.

The trick with teaching Haskell is to start with specifics
and THEN generalize the ideas.

Definitely!

Sorry, I rambled a bit, but tl;dr: Haskell was a mixed
success, brought along some drama, but overall enabled
us to reduce the latency of some critical services by
about 10x. At least while I was at IMVU, teaching people
Haskell was actually not hard. Getting them to care
about Haskell or even want to try it was sometimes VERY
hard, depending on the person.

Please, please, PLEASE turn this into a blog post. Haskell has a lot of great testimonials, but they can't be convincing unless they also show the downsides. For technical topics I think Haskellers do a great job being honest, eg: https://github.com/Gabriel439/post-rfc/blob/master/sotu.md ("Numerical -- immature ... Front End ... immature ... Distributed programming ... immature"). But there aren't a lot of writeups of Haskell being tried in business with mixed results. A writeup saying "a big concern is getting developers onboard" would be hugely reassuring to companies considering Haskell that _do_ have their developers onboard.

Oh yeah, and I 100% agree with slezakattack that Haskell
programmers are not necessarily magical systems designers
or system programmers. They're just like you and me.

Totally. There are some geniuses, but then there are also people like me who use it because my brain isn't big enough to hold a whole program in my head, so I need the types:)
Tsunamis yes. But unfortunatly, quite a few studies have proven that the german nuclear reactors are susceptible to earth quakes, terrorists and floods. With almost no precautions taken, the big energy companies have noone to blame but themself.
Right, It should be obvious, but the market only works if it exists.

Of the tier-1 fastfood joints, I'd rank Wendy's followed by Burger King (always order it "CTO"--cooked to order).

McDonald's burgers have a unique flavor, which I like, but would not be my first choice.

In-n-Out burgers are decent, as is ShakeShack (though their cheese is salty), but my favorite burger is from Five Guys.

McDonald's french fries, however, are the undisputed king of sides.
I wonder if this system can introduce miscounting or double-counting of an item? Maybe that is why the cashier at Aldi moves through items so quickly.
