I did find it very surprising that a16z was getting their stake increased here. They were on the board for years. Whatever happened, happened on their watch. Highly unusual.
Second last paragraph.

>"Rather than glass lenses, the consumer models will rely on water-filled acrylic polymer lenses and will also be able to handle thermal energy generation in addition to solar energy generation."
The older I get, the more I believe that what makes a partner likeable, kind, successful, and attractive is the amount of effort you put into getting to know them and to support them.

When I first met my future wife 35 years ago, she was stunningly beautiful. She worked for a time as an underwear model in fact.

Now her appearance is what is sometimes called "matronly" but she's even more beautiful to me than she was when we were teenagers. And interestingly enough, I'm still learning things about her 35 years later. She is the most fascinating person I know.

Has it always been that way? Nope. Regrettably, there were stretches of years that I neglected to pay attention to her, and it took a toll on us both. In the past five or six years, I have redoubled my efforts to pay attention to the little things, and we're both better off for it, I think.

And to bring it back to the article, she rejected me for a good five years before I really got anywhere with her. Not that I stalked her, but we ran in overlapping social circles and periodically I would try again. I finally figured out a way to gain her trust and interest. (Again, she had no shortage of suitors, so it was kind of like trying to get the New Yorker or Atlantic to publish your piece.)

The rejection never deterred me from trying again when I saw an opening, but I did always change my approach. We ended up in the same college class - again, mere chance, no stalking - and that's when she finally opened up to me a little. Still, it was years later before we married, and we both had other relationships during those years.

Meanwhile, yes, I dated a lot, and was in a couple of "serious" relationships during that time, so there was some quantity over quality there.

I will say that as I've gotten older, were something to happen where I was suddenly single again, the idea of "quality" has changed tremendously from when I was younger. The same is true with my tastes in writing.
And its easier to break into the average house than the average pc.
I actually imagine it does apply to most regular phone calls. Google offers a reverse lookup service in recent versions of Android. It fills in the name of the caller if it's not in your address book.

In all honesty though, you are prompted about whether you want to use this feature.
When you start an article telling me to read an awful book that tries to tell me it's allegorically easy for a company to turn into a dystopian ruler of all, you seem more than a little alarmist. Regardless of the rest of the content.
But how do you avoid from becoming skeptical, like, "Why bother focusing on quality, if it's going to waste anyway. Maybe I should keep throwing shit (quantity) and see which ones stick."? So you end up producing mediocrity and leaning towards luck.

It was never really open.

And even though it uses Linux as kernel, even that doesn't matter.

The API surface that NDK code is allowed to use is so constrained that they could replace the kernel with something else and only OEMs would notice.

And this is why so many people pirate. I pay for these services, and get no notification.

I feel justified as long as it's on one of the services I pay for (Amazon, Netflix, Hulu), since I don't feel like having to remember which damn app to use. Nor can I get me 5yo to grasp it either.

So I use Kodi and a file server. Now my son can choose what he wants to watch, which makes him so happy. He'd much rather get the remote and change it himself than ask us to change it for him.
Wait, so you know you will work after retirement. You get personal enjoyment out of your work. But you don't know what your work will be?

It sounds like you're saying that you want to continue existing and being able to do things after you retire... That is exactly what retirement is. Why do you feel like you need to sound like one of those "go-getting", "I'm-always-working" people who thinks everyone should work 22 hours a day?
Read through that article as well and I have to say it rings scarily true. To use the article's vocabulary, I wish there were more "Finder" roles out there. Most companies have plenty of "Implementor" and "Solver" roles, but nobody's looking for "Finders". Finding the right problem to solve is often the domain of the founders and execs because of course, they are oh-so-smart and always just innately know what the company should be working on!

I consider myself a decent programmer, and I love doing it. I used to program professionally, and still do so at home all the time as a hobby. But I have a hard time imagining myself coming into work and doing it for a living anymore. I got sick of implementing someone else's half-baked ideas and not having even a tiny say about what we're building, who it's for, what the most important features are, where we should spend our time, etc. It was all: Close this ticket. Fix this bug. Implement this feature using this binary tree here and that data structure there with these fields. JUST TYPE IT IN and don't worry if the product will be successful. Most places treat software engineering as data entry. The glorious Product Managers got to do the creative work!

So I moved over to the product management side to get those things and that's great. But it's still not a "Finder" role. You don't have enough time to both find and solve the problem, and you don't have the autonomy to do it right. You're too busy running around talking to 'stakeholders', smoothing over things with marketing, reviewing ad copy, sitting in strategic synergy meetings, battling with the UI designers, and trying to keep sales from selling something you don't have. And, at the end of the day, you still don't have that autonomy or creative control, since there's always someone higher up the food chain who just wants you to do it their way and write them a report about it.

It seems in tech your choice is between being an implementer-monkey and being a sock-puppet.

The whole point of big data is to collect whatever is available and reason about how to use it afterwards. So I guess we can be pretty sure that Google collects as much as they can.

SEEKING WORK - remote, short to medium term projects - zak.wilson@gmail.com

I make software - mostly full-stack web development and HTTP APIs, but I'm adaptable. I have some interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I have minimal experience making Android apps. I can do stuff that's harder than basic CRUD apps. Stuff I know well: Clojure, Ruby (with or without Rails), Python, Django, Javascript, Lua, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SASS, responsive CSS.

Other stuff I've used for something non-trivial at least once: Common Lisp, Scheme, Java, SASS, C, PHP, Haskell, Bash, Perl, MongoDB, Mirah, Android development with Clojure. Yes, I can probably pick up that language or tool you're using that nobody has ever heard of.

> macros

All well and good, but Erlang/beam code is not that fast.

> templates

Ruby's templates are parsed into code that stays in memory, too, so it's not like they're re-parsed each and every time.

> routing

Perhaps clever use of pattern matching helps here. But my point is: someone should dissect these things in a real-world-ish application to see what's actually true.

> concurrency

Yes, but let's be precise. Everyone knows Erlang's concurrency is way better than Ruby's. The claim was 'fast' though. As well as maintainable, which seems curious given that there are no really old Phoenix apps out there.
That's horrid logic. The question of fitness for existence is whether the Constitution is better than its absence.

We are a risk and compliance solution, splicing together data from the deep web with unstructured and semi-structured information to help customers make decisions about the risks posed by their customers and third parties. Our customers are the world’s largest financial institutions, law firms, and consultancies. They use our software to identify and address financial crimes such as fraud, money laundering and

We handle hundreds of terabytes of structured and unstructured data, and as a result our infrastructure is pretty complex - Hadoop, HBase, ElasticSearch, Python, Docker, some Go, etc - and highly automated using Ansible.

- We're looking for devops or systems types to join our small devops team and help us go to the next level in automation and orchestration.

- We're also interested in speaking to engineers with more of a full-stack approach - the team is small and nimble and you can get exposure to frontend, MapReduce, Django, etc - all in one week!

- Finally, we’d also like to hear from expert enterprise sales candidates who have sold complex software to complex organizations.

Email jobs@arachnys.com with a link to your profiles (github, linkedin etc) if you're interested. A founder will read your application and respond within a few days at the latest.

I wouldn't invest (not even my time) in licenses and staff to work over a platform that won't be maintained in the next 5-10 years.
Stability is better for business.
Yes, exactly. The same even more true with grains, where the production of "organic" grain using heirloom varieties is even smaller than it is with vegetables (it's basically a rounding error).

The bulk of seed grain is produced by specialized seed companies who hybridize Cool Variety #1 with Cool Variety #2 and sell the resulting seed which produces Cool Variety #3. The problem is that if you plant Cool Variety #3 seeds, only a minority of them will be Cool Variety #3. This is a real problem.

If you kept growing the seeds for many generations, ruthlessly weeding out anything that didn't exhibit CV #3 traits, you'd eventually get something close to a pure CV #3 strain, but most farmers don't want to do that.

Let's say that CV #1 is resistant to "gray-green rot" (made up names here), while CV #2 is resistant to "early leaf blight". CV #3 is resistant to both, thanks to having one GGR-resistant gene from CV #1 and one ELB-resistant gene from CV #2.

But what happens if you grow CV #3 seeds? The kicker is that genes (usually) come in pairs. You'll get 25% offspring that are resistant to both (what you want), 25% resistant to GGR (but not ELB) 25% resistant to ELB (but not GGR), and 25% resistant to neither. If both GGR and ELB kill the plant, congratulations! You've managed to reduce your crop yield by 75%.

That is why most modern farmers do not save seeds.
I code all kinds of stuff in Java and never use Java EE; JDK8 SE is great and I like some what is planned for JDK 8, it always seemed to me that Java EE was a collection of second- or third- best technologies.
No, neither. My point was that BTC users are gambling. And most of them don't even realize it.

There is no "there" there. Nothing stands behind BTC to back it.

The best thing that can happen is for a widespread public awareness of where BTC falls on the continuum from "highly risky and speculative" to "safe" investments.

I've got an MBA from UC Berkeley's Haas school. My peers know where BTC is on that continuum of "absurdly speculative and risky" to "safe and secure."

My post was to say that it's not appropriate content for HN to hold up such a risky gambling vehicle that BTC is as somehow viable as an investment. An article, which I have flagged, about an ETF based on this dangerously speculative, easily-manipulated modern-day Dutch Tulips, is just not appropriate for HN without massive disclaimers citing

1) its failure to attain acceptance as a medium of exchange
2) the government's effort to shut it down
3) the massive number of scams that have duped people like you who aren't aware of the extremely speculative and risky nature of BTC.

So, serious question, what kind of dating would you consider not using the other person? Isn't any sort of dating just an exchange where both parties hope to have their needs met? This just sounds like benten10 is just acknowledging that is current need is to gain experience dating. There are certainly lots of people out there with this need so I doubt benten10 will have trouble finding people whose needs are compatible with his.

Sure, there are people who don't want to go on "practice" dates, but there is literally no human characteristic that someone out there doesn't want. In the long run I want to have kids, so if I could somehow filter out all the people who won't want to have kids in 5-10 years, I'd do it, but it's not realistically possible to do that. Why is "I want practice dating" different from "I want to have kids"?
Ashampoo WinOptimizer 14.00.02 Crack and Serial Key
A broken blind is more comparable to a server (http, ftp ...) with no authentication/password, maybe just for some directories that should have been protected. Also, wifi with no password.

Exploiting a vulnerability is more like using a bump key or picking the lock on the door. Would it be weird if the cops could pick the locks on your door without a warrant (you know they're all crap locks because hardly anyone knows the difference).
>I would say that since the late 90ies, there hasn't been a single new engine being made. Everything we have now is a development based on KHTML, Gecko, Presto or Trident.

Compared to KHTML, Webkit and Blink were pretty much 5 or more whole new projects on top of it. And even the latest IE is hugely rewritten compared to Trident.
Do you realise those companies regularly cooperate with USA police in similar cases? Why should you be ashamed of your country acting as the sovereign nation it is?

Was our society also sold the idea that dozens of frivolous layers of middle management and bureaucracy would be beneficial for productivity as well? I'm not buying the idea that diversity is the problem here.

I don't think the weight of the glass is the main problem here. (Though obviously plastic will be lighter and easier to transport.)

Where do you mount this contraption? Solar PV is light enough for any roof - otherwise wasted space. You probably have to mount this on the ground unless you want to spend a ton of money reinforcing everything.
These Playpen cases are all deriving their 4th Amendment bypass based on the IP Address = Phone Number analogy[0].

The judge in this case at least seems to understand where the others did not that the IP Address had to be obtained by questionable means.

But decision reads: "The Court notes, however, that perhaps malware is a better description for the program through which the provider of the pornography attempted to conceal its distribution of contraband over the Internet than for the efforts of the Government to uncover the pornography."

The conclusion is that Tor is more malware than the FBI spyware.

I am not entirely dissuaded by govt's logic re expectation of privacy. Most porn/torrent sites do attempt to install spyware/malware. Everyone knows this. Whether the govt should be doing this is another matter entirely.

I am more distressed by the fact that this judge is allowing the FBI to use this tool and not allowing defendant access to its source code in discovery. This is unacceptable.
