I've seen this happen in a couple of industries and have joined two companies at the start of the reorg/turnaround. There is a lot to do as until the pressure is on a lot gets ignored and runs inefficiently.

It's a different kind of challenge but just as fun.
If you want to talk about religious (or any ideological) fundamentalism, that's fine.

But to single out Islam is ignorance and prejudice; clearly you don't really know what you are talking about. These statements are very harmful; it's well known how incredible dangerous religious discrimination is; shouldn't you seriously study the issue (not Internet forums and talking heads, but real scholarship) before you talk about it?

To paint all of Islam and all Muslims as reflecting these accusations is just plain stereotype; it's just unequivocally idiotic, ignorant and wrong; there is nothing redeeming to it, intellectually or otherwise.
First of all, how do you define "untrustworthy"? Usually you delegate that decision to your browser vendor or OS distribution. If you no longer trust them for a specific CA, why trust them for any of the others?

Browsers may rely on the certificate store and trust settings provided by your OS. For example, Firefox always uses their own certificate store, while Chrome relies on the system.

certsimple has this guide on how to remove or distrust certificates in various browsers:

>> This news will come as a welcome relief to anyone who hates having to watch concerts through a sea of smartphone screens

Alright. Tangent before getting on point. I'm someone who hasn't been to a movie theatre in the past 6 years except for Avatar and Inception in 2009/2010. My blood boils every single time I see a cell phone pulled out to check the time, reply to emails or text messages, or "quietly" answer a call "I'm at a movie, I can't talk now, I'll call you later... 2 more minutes of talking". I just can't handle it. I'm not a very angry person, and I've never even been in a fistfight, but I truly have a hard time resisting shouting at these people, or grabbing their phone out of their hands and smashing it.

I will only go to see the best of the best in theatre now; the films that must absolutely be seen on a large IMAX screen with booming bass audio. I cannot handle the situation of cell phones shining in my face in a dark theatre. I fully advocate Faraday cages inside theatre rooms. Make it so that signal works just outside the doors of the theatre, but not within it. Gunmen, fires, and "family emergencies" do not warrant cell phone usage in a theatre. They didn't exist 30 years ago; if you can't go 2 hours without your phone, don't go the theatre.

But fuck this. I've been an iPhone user since the 3G (3G, 4, then 6). If this patent ever becomes integrated, I will give up my ecosystem with my MacBook and iPhone and switch. No way in hell do I accept having my camera locked out in whatever location anybody decides to block it. What a way for police states to deny the recording of government employees breaking the law. I expect I'd think differently were I a concert-goer (clearly I would despise people pulling out their bright phones in a dark concert hall). But this... this is going too far.

Thankfully this patent is already 5-7 years old without being used. Let's hope this is one of those patents that sits around as a piece of intellectual property without ever being used. The potential for abuse is too high.
That's actually a poorly-constucted survey question since a person can be a part of several underrepresented demographics in technology, which makes percentage breakdowns inaccurate.
It literally isn't any different. Satire is satire. Protected in the US.
So you write `el.innerHtml = "<div>stuff</div>";`?

Can't remember the last time I did that. Probably back when I used PHP on my first internship.

Don't you think it's a lot of added overhead rewriting the same over and over? Things like data binding, validation, etc. If you do two projects with vanilla JS you'd end up with a bunch of similar functions for this basic stuff.

They don't like competition.

It depends on the sport. Check the average GPA for any top level university gymnastics team. It needs to be a sport that invokes complex coordination of a wide variety of muscle groups.

The basic idea is that while you are learning to do challenging gymnastic (or other physical) skills, the brain is releasing growth hormones to learn the skill. But they aren't targeted. It's hard to grow the part of the brain that does a cartwheel on a balance beam without also growing the part of the brain that does calculus.
This reminds of having to watch Vikings season 4, doesn't have the quality of a HBO series like GoT but its pretty good.
You, like your sibling respondent, appear to be replying to things I have not said. No suggestion was made for maximizing taxes or overpaying.

Also, I didn't express myself in an insulting way. You've edited this comment a few times now, and it's cool to just stick with the actual topic. I made no insults.
Let's Encrypt had a similar vulnerability late last year.[1] That was successfully exploited in a malware attack. There's also a potential BGP attack.[2]

Validating that a host is on the correct domain is very hard in the presence of attacks. DNS can be spoofed. If there was an easy way to verify domains, CA-issued SSL certs would be unnecessary.

Such an argument didn't help Microsoft in their anticompetition suits.

If "your" store is directly tied to other companies' livelihoods, and design "your" rules deliberately to hamper competition, there can be a strong argument for an anticompetition suit.
> Iran has prosecuted many cases of zina, and enforced public stoning to death of those accused between 2001 and 2010.

Would love to see imprisoned for life or executed the people who justify and/or enforce such laws such as the current Iranian government.

> In contrast to human rights activists, Islamic scholars and Islamist political parties consider 'universal human rights' arguments as imposition of a non-Muslim culture on Muslim people, a disrespect of customary cultural practices and sexual codes that are central to Islam.

I mean to disrespect customary cultural practices and sexual codes central to Islam. I mean to say according to the above interpretation the sexual codes central to Islam have no place in modern society and neither does the enforcement of customary cultural practices as they are repressive and a violation of universal human rights.

I'd be interested in seeing a comparison between Norway and the UK's current EU status. The UK has negotiated so many opt-outs that they must be pretty close.

Most of them are of value? I mean, we buy salt, and esp. sea salt, and most of the other minerals are going to either salable, or at least disposable in some way. You'll even be getting very small amounts of stuff like gold too. (really not much at all, but hey, there's 20 million tons of gold in there)
By that reasoning, the state does not have an innate right or authority to provide or guarantee human rights.

And really, it's human's that guarantee the state's rights, not the other way around. The state is an abstract concept that exists only because humans gave it that right at some point.
I think you may be underestimating the stupidity of some consumers.
I'm asking seriously: what makes that different from flashing the McDonald's logo and implying that McD's endorses it? Or Mad Magazine doing the same, for that matter? Or The Onion "quoting" political figures (eg http://www.theonion.com/blogpost/if-i-could-be-just-complete... which purports to be an op-ed written by Hillary Clinton, complete with byline and photo, with no disclaimer to the contrary).
We are running scans with 64 directions that are 8ish minutes, they look good. I'll have a look when I get into work, because there is obviously a large difference between their sequences and ours. Ours are not product sequences but they aren't anything too radical.
Edit: to step further back, are you aware of anything that these undoubtably better scans offer in a clinical setting? How will they change treatment? We would run DTI occasionally when some surgery is planned and the surgeon wants to avoid a particular tract, but this isn't a common occurance.
I started out from a very young age focused mostly on finding sources of interesting/purposeful work that provide enough wage to afford a comfortable life, but not luxury.

I have not been able to find meaningful/purposeful work in any organization. The life lessons I've learned can basically be summarized as: there is no such thing as purposeful work for which you are paid a wage, and businesses rarely extract meaningful labor out of you. Businesses are rarely punished for being unproductive, and most effort within any organization is spent intensely focused on politics, both internal and external, to ensure the business can create Dutch books and survive any possible outcome without needing to actually be productive.

The closer you get to pure knowledge work, the worse all of these effects become. In my field, machine learning and statistics, it is about as bad as it can possibly be. Because policy is ostensibly supposed to be based on evidence and sound, statistical reasoning, and it's very fashionable right now to try to characterize all aspects of business planning as if they are "data driven", all that it means is that the corporate politicians now hawkishly focus on statistics/machine learning and "science" as the means by which they control politics.

It unequivocally does not mean that businesses are actually shifting to truly be more scientific in their decision making, nor are they less wasteful, less driven by prestige or politics, less hyper-focused on short-term thinking, etc. If anything, firms are worse on all of these dimensions, and waste vast sums of money setting up big data infrastructure than truly does nothing but give glossy data visualization facades that decisions are somehow being made based on hard data.

What it has taught me is somewhat of the inverse of what you say.

I agree that pursuit of material wealth and power is uninteresting and highly unfulfilling. The problem is that pursuit of meaningful work turns out to be even more uninteresting and even more unfulfilling and you simply end up poorer and sounding like a burnt out crank.

You are probably better off (if you can; I unfortunately cannot) sublimating away any desire for creative, autonomous, meaningful, purposeful, or interesting work -- simply delete that from your genome with hardcore unhealthy repression. Then try to amass enough wealth doing horrible, horrible politics as you can to retire early, start your own small business, or something else where you are personally in charge of what you do and where you don't have a need for anyone else to pay you for your labor output.

The one part I will agree with you on is to definitely value relationships. Whether you are burning yourself out chasing the carrot of so-called meaningful work, or you are killing yourself slowly playing political games to get promotions and money, do not allow either toxin to infiltrate your personal life, and really try to slow your brain down and savor the moments you have with family, friends, and loved ones.
It's absolutely anti-competitive when Apple imposes a 30% tax on services which compete with their own services. If Apple imposed 30% equally across the board it would be one thing, but they get 100% (minus credit card fees) of Apple Music subscription money.

Spotify is just calling it unfair now because Apple has just now started to reject their updates on the basis of this rule, even though Spotify didn't change anything related to this in the update in question.
No, your comment quite clearly implies that the corporations should not utilize the tax laws to pay the minimum required amount of taxes. You use words like 'avoid' to imply that it's evasion, but it's 'avoiding' in the same way as someone who 'avoids' taxes by taking a deduction for a dependent.
Isn't viable for whom? The $14 billion transacted through App Store payments to date would suggest that plenty of buyers and sellers have opted in to this market. They must realize that credit card processing isn't the only thing Apple is selling here.
Also, the system update install process will happen while the phone is in use, and only require a reboot after installation is finished. The whole process will be much faster.

Not only that, but Android N will be able to boot all the way to the lock screen before asking for the password, and even support functionality like phone calls, limited notifications, or alarms (so if your phone reboots in the night you'll still get woken up in the morning).
OK, so imagine that middle-manager person stopped dealing with nonsense politics and took on a role in eng or sales or whatever. Would the nonsense politics disappear?
It was called saved stories until recently. I think the elves have been busy in the Hacker News codebase.

As an aside, the spirit of "Show HN" is for things that the submitter has created and which other users can play with or try out.
It’s not as simple as that though.

If Apple provided any other way to put content on the device that you purchased, then maybe Apple can run their own store any way they please. In reality though, you’re not choosing the App Store over other stores; you have to use the App Store. This allows Apple to put itself in the middle of a transaction that arguably it has no business being involved in. If a person wants to do X with the device that he or she purchased (in this case, installing a new version of Spotify), there should be a supported way to do that even if Apple does not want to bless that version in their own store.

the answer is embedded in your question: why do you think it is that Italy and GR are not good markets for BMWs anymore?
As everyone's ability to express self is different, there is certainly a difference how linguistical one's forming thought in own head.

My theory is, more you engaged in inter-person communication, from moment to habit, more you may have thought in the form of language, and more the thoughts are limited by the nature language. Deep thoughts especially those sparked creativity are certainly much beyond language, and difficult to express. Complex concept takes time to communicate is a proof of this.
I interpret this as a rhetorical technique with the following purposes.

- Give the illusion that the interview is raw, unedited, so closer to
truth.

- Elevates the social status of the interviewer, because he's on joking terms with interviewee.
Phones spend most of their lives powered on. You need to be required to enter a similarly good password to unlock it while the phone is running, or disk encryption has accomplished nothing at all.

I'm about halfway through the process as described in an underpaid non-profit position (ie, going remote, setting up automated systems, wasting less time in meetings/emails). Although I'm not now because what I'm working on is analytical and research-dependent, I will be able to outsource parts of my job in the future. A successful business is not a prerequisite. If you give it another read looking for other paths, they are there, they just aren't the flashy "automate your business"
Stereotypes have a basis in reality, but there are myriad exceptions to "meetings = doing nothing." Tim Cook pretty much only goes to meetings.
Isn't this the obvious result, if not an actual goal, of centralization?
I'm thinking you already have a beachhead in Minnesota. But at the time, wasn't Norway a colony of Sweden? Or was it Denmark then? I'm fuzzy on when the switch happened.

In any case, if you do take over, at least then we'll be able to get decent lefse in California.
I remember the last General Biotics submission here on HN, and I though their product sounded interesting. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8456128) But I was waiting for their results on their large randomized trial to be published, which have since been delayed by quite a bit ...
It's not obvious to me. Maybe you could point to some examples?

Acknowledging that the group contains some crazy people is not prejudice, it's just fact, unless one also chooses to ignore similar situations in other groups. I don't see that here.
Perhaps it's a benevolent overlord, and it decided that cancelling all our meetings is the best way to make the world a better place.

Hey, this is a side-project I’ve been working on a few months now.

The problem was that a few months after discovering something cool on the web, I forgot about it and thus couldn’t re-visit it again. In my opinion bookmarks aren’t a great way to organize content and tend to get lost after a while.

So I built this. You can save references to any link, search for books & movies and save them into a “mynamid” - a shape which lets you sort-of prioritize content, but isn’t as strict as a top-list. :)

Would love your feedback on this!

My favorite part about this survey is that for many of the questions there is a majority agreement. Many developers believe that tooling needs to improve or that crates should work with stable features.

I think this is great for the Rust team going forward knowing that they will act on it.
Ok so one answer says it happens regularly and yours say it won't happen.
We responded within 22 minutes of the original complaint and have been in frequent contact with Digital Ocean over the course of the 5 days including a phone call only hours before where they asked us to either remove the content or fill out a counter claim. They redacted the counterclaim request and shut us down 39minutes later followed by 1 hour of radio silence.

5 days had elapsed from the time the original takedown request came in until our network was disabled but there was plenty of correspondence in between and when we had last spoke to Digital Ocean it was still an open issue.

We provide more specifics on timeline here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12010521

How Google Evaluates Links Using the User Signals from Google Chrome Browser

The mathematician Jacques Hadamard carried out an interesting study on this subject and presented his findings in a small book called, "The Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field". Here are a couple of excerpts from it that I found compelling (he's talking about a sort of 'schematic' thinking with something like relationship diagrams, and much of his motivation is the contention that thinking is only done linguistically):

"Indeed, every mathematical research compels me to build such a schema, which is always and must be of a vague character, so as not to be deceptive. I shall give a less elementary example from my first researches (my thesis). I had to consider a sum of an infinite number of terms, intending to valuate its order of magnitude. In that case, there is a group of terms which chances to be predominant, all others having a negligible influence. Now, when I think of that question, I see not the formula itself, but the place it would take if written: a kind of ribbon, which is thicker or darker at the place corresponding to the possibly important terms; or (at other moments), I see something like a formula, but by no means a legible one, as I should see it (being strongly long-sighted) if I had no eye-glasses on, which letters seeming rather more apparent (though still not legible) at the place which is supposed to be the important one."

"About the mathematicians born or resident in America, whom I asked, phenomena are mostly analogous to those which I have noticed in my own case. Practically all of them -- contrary to what occasional inquiries had suggested to Galton as to the man on the street -- avoid not only the use of mental words, but also, just as I do, the mental use of algebraic or any other precise signs; also as in my case, they use vague images."

My experience with thinking in abstract domains matches this perfectly—and I bet it can be trained/taught. I've written more on the subject here, btw: http://westoncb.blogspot.com/2013/01/an-architecture-for-del...
> “Patients have different preferences,” Hecht observes, but “in general, people don’t particularly like enemas.”

This is probably the best argument against a competitor's product that I have heard.
Most of these digital mems microphones take a clock input, so you can synchronize the internal ADCs (normally used for doing stereo).
A component of this that's also nice is that there weren't any real surprises: if you had asked me what needs to improve, I would have said the same thing the survey did overall. So it was really cool/nice to see our suspicions confirmed, and knowing that we are already working on some of this stuff.
As someone still only dreaming of gigabit speeds, I'm having a hard time conceptualizing what that kind of speed can enable. Higher resolution video/VR, sure, but is there more? Is there a game changing use case that opens up when that kind of speed is available everywhere?
> How was this attack carried out? The malvertisers used a technique called “domain shadowing”. Attackers who have gained the ability to create subdomains under a legitimate domain do so, but the created subdomain leads to a server under the control of the attackers. In this particular case, the attackers created ad.{legitimate domain}.com under the legitimate site.

That's quite different. The attackers appear to have had full control of DNS in that case. Being able to control DNS is essentially the definition of domain ownership. Fraudulent issuance would be the smallest problem for a site affected by this. They'd have gotten a certificate from practically any CA issuing DV certificates.

Domain validation is messy and far from perfect, but this vulnerability is just inexcusable.
Power gives right and authority. The only universal definition of state is monopoly over the use of force over any given territory.

I prescribe to the idea that all thought and language is metaphorical. Language and thought do exist separately but also combine in useful ways for all of us. This is why you can think of something but not find the word for it.

But just look at the metaphorical structure of language. Concepts are nothing but our ability to map our modalities in a way that become useful for our biological goals.

George Lakoff has some great books on metaphors. Metaphors we live by is a great book.
