Glider pilots have told me about using the heated air up drafts caused by large mall parking lots as a way to stay elevated. Amazing to think of all the air that is moving around us, and then using it to "bounce" from current to current.
Maybe unmanned drone gliders without any cargo, just some sensors.

Of course, if they're anything like the frigate birds themselves, one of these gliders will eventually collide with a frigate bird.

Then what?

On second thought, just put sensors on some frigate birds and collect the data later, as this scientist is already doing. Sell the data to Google Earth. Split the profits with the birds.
Article V is the part of the Constitution that governs conventions. It is just for recommending amendments that get approved in the usual way. So there really shouldn't be any more concern about it than normal.

It's important to note that Ars was intended to be satirical. However, when it was rediscovered, a lot of the context surrounding it was lost, so people too it seriously... and it became the basis of courtly love and thus modern romance.

Glider pilots have told me about using the heated air up drafts caused by large mall parking lots as a way to stay elevated. Amazing to think of all the air that is moving around us, and then using it to "bounce" from current to current. It would be interesting to create a graph comparing an organism's weight versus passive distance traveled. Ie: a spider has low weight, but only travels 3,000 body lengths with a web as it's sail, versus this bird travels an amazing distance by using up drafts.
At least 20% of the poll respondents were unaware of the cognitive dissonance between their two answers. Or else they believe Britons should have more rights than other EU citizens.

1. Earn sufficient income outside of job.

Yields are plunging because the crisis of 2008 was never solved and the bandaids that were supposed to tide us over to the recovery are wearing off. Economists don't take debt (private debt, in particular) seriously, so they don't know why we aren't recovering like their models say we should be.

Steve Keen just put up a fantastic talk on this:

Until we get the private debt issue resolved (Keen's suggestion is a modern debt jubilee) we can expect to follow japan into the abyss.
Hello kevindeasis,

you'd have to make a pull request to https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome (make sure to read and comply with their contribution guide) since the lists indexed on http://awesome-lists.net are obtained from this repo; once that's done, your lists will be automatically available on awesome-lists.net (after the next index update).

Nice lists you got here. Watch out for these minor problems though:

* https://github.com/kevindeasis/awesome-fullstack

* Agular => Angular
* you should rather use unordered lists IMHO
* I think links on headings won't be indexed as you expect them to be; could you normalize and put the link in an item just as for the other sections ?

* https://github.com/kevindeasis/awesome-ui

* Some formatting problems on **Font Resource** (bullet points unrecognized)
* Heading `###Writing` not recognized
* You should normalize lists and not include wrap list items in paragraphs IMHO

Thanks !
I would think that the first rule of API design is to use it yourself whilst wearing the customers' shoes, and with that approach a large proportion of cases like that would become apparent. Or one could look at some of the longest-standing APIs (WindowS API is one) out there and observe how they evolve it to cope this requirements changes. There's still some chicken-and-egg situation in there but much of the ambiguity can be resolved with the right technique.

The REAL problem is we have all these startup turds churning out ideas faster than they can think about them, and the HN crowd has built an entire ecosystem to facilitate that churn
I think "destroyed" is going to far, they "reset" the measurement. Just because the curb is realigned does not mean it won't pull apart still. Now that it is "fixed" it would be a good time to install a pair of steel reference standards on the two curbs, then measuring the shift would be easier in the future.

This is kind of off topic, but afaik, warrant canaries have never been tested in court.

It seems very unlikely, given the pervasiveness of NSLs that all orgs still using canaries have never received an NSL. Has anyone collected a list of all the companies with canaries?

Two things I noticed when going from employed to self employed is:

1. You gain a lot of time back due to zero travel
2. You can earn less to earn the same as you were when employed. This is true because I removed the transport and time cost.

It's worth keeping in mind these will be reversed if you situation is similar to mine. You'll have much less time available, and your salary will need to be higher than you earned being self employed to achieve the same end-of-month income.

Good luck.

Why is bare metal so "uncool"? I am certain that a lot of companies don't need the flexibility provided by AWS. I can understand that you don't need additional staff by going with the AWS route, but in the end you get a bare vm which is kinda similar to a bare metal server – you have to manage it yourself. Things like RDS isn't good idea anyways, let it be in the startup phase (expensive) or later on (inflexible, etc.)... The only service I could think of which is really helpful is SES, because handling email is very stressful.

And even if you need the flexibility you can still run your predictable stuff on bare metal, while, when the traffic spikes, spin on some cloud servers as you need them. But things like load balancing are always better handled on own servers, where you actually know what the fuck is happening.
Qedcode podcast
I'm always extra-skeptical about devs who choose to use click-baity titles to explain why a widely used piece infrastructure is useless. The merits and demerits of AWS have been discussed in depth by folks with way more experience and knowledge than this author, and in most cases "Never Use Amazon" would be found as a laughable conclusion.

Nevertheless, I hope AWS reads this to get an idea about how they still need to improve their accessibility and image as a company overall. It's completely true that the transparency and accuracy of the "status page" is terrible because no product team wants to admit something went wrong. It's also true that their Premium Support is constantly overwhelmed and often not incredibly useful but still essential for many cases (This basically boils down to them having huge turnover rate, a low number of people who actually have skills to do the high-level support, and having too many ways to "game" the system where customers who spend nearly nothing get away with taking way too much support time and substituting paying actual architects with constant support cases. Increasing cost of support would actually be the best move here.) Regardless, this plays into the narrative that I've always observed. AWS, despite being easy to get going with, is also incredibly easy to mess up. The fact that there is a certification system spanning so many different parts of AWS should go to show the disconnect between how much AWS actually expects you to master before using it, and how much the average dev really wants to learn before jumping in (reading a blog post is not gonna cut it.)
Wow, did you ever pick the wrong (or maybe the perfect) person to push that argument against. I couldn't disagree with you more. People should be discouraged from learning cryptography by building new tools for end-users to encrypt sensitive messages with. They should be encouraged to learn cryptography by actually learning cryptography.

In this case, though, all I'm saying is that if you want to read an ECC software package with a GPG-like interface, there actually already is one that was authored by an expert. Whatever you think about newcomer cryptography, expertise has value.

Probably the best way would be making it self-documenting: installing some sort of plaque or stand describing it and why it is scientifically interesting. Then any work crews sent out to destroy it can see the plaque and exercise some discretion in sending it up channels to ask.

There's also the pesky "refueling" bit. These birds run on fish; I don't think we've really designed effective ICE or fuel cells that run on fish yet.
Also: email from a founder, don't use a "investment banker", or other intermediary.

Don't insist on a phone call or in-person meeting as the next step. If you can't explain it with email, video, etc. to an investor, you'll have a hard time explaining it to customers.

Use bios, Angellist, Crunchbase, etc. to profile investor prospects. Don't email a tech investor a movie pitch, unless you have a very unique connection to that investor.

Don't insist on an NDA (yes, it still happens)

In 2 or 3 years they'll have the network effect locked down. Chat apps rise and fall between generations ICQ -> AOL -> Text -> Snapchat, but it's rare for a similar product to steal a user base in that kind of market.

Chinese regulations blocking a social network are unlikely to change overnight. It was characterized as "protectionism" elsewhere, but Chinese blocks are generally targeted at social networks. They worry less about whether the company is foreign, and more about whether it allows Chinese people to talk with foreigners.

Before you consign folks to a lifetime of punishment, I'd suggest you actually analyze the data and determine if the concept actually yields a benefit, given the objective costs in both dollars spent and lives ruined.

The criminal justice system should be designed to protect the public, and to rehabilitate criminals. It doesn't exist to give you warm fuzzies through the implementation of otherwise ineffective laws that achieve neither of those goals.
I don't understand. If the people of kiribati (pronounced KEE-ree-bas) have an S sound, then it makes sense to romanize their language so that words endings with an S sound end with an S letter... If they have a "ti" sound as well, then by all means keep the T and the I, or even glyph them together...

But english is (more or less) a phonetic language. If you're romanizing a foreign language, and it doesn't come out more or less phonetic, then.... try again. It doesn't cost anything to keep an "s" in the prospective alphabet.
Despite being written in 95 year old slang, I find this surprisingly readable. Especially compared to the original. There's a lot of broken grammar though. I wonder if that was how people actually spoke, or exaggerated for effect.

Qt maintained binary compatibility from 4.0 in 2005 to 4.8 in 2011, and has from 5.0 in 2012 to 5.7 in 2016. Providing a stable platform is not some impossible ideal. It's a real thing that GTK's competition provides.
> Why can't we ask people to give up their identity?

Because that's how they _be_. Even if we created a monotonous people without any identities, different persons with different abilities and interests will diverge from others and cluster with similar individuals, forming various intersecting groups, and lead to a complex system of group and personal identities. (edit, forgot: Such groups bring together diverging dialects, first diverging metaphors, then words, phrases, etc., so on maybe until mutual intelligibility is lost.)

Your XMPP analogy does not hold because XMPP was popular among some tech geeks whereas even my granny who does not understand the concept of video and blushes and hides when changing her clothes when the TV is on gets to use WhatsApp, with help from my mom who thinks her WhatsApp is locked because of the recent encryption thing they introduced and the yellow little message the app displays related thereto.

I don't have long term self employment experience. My guess is that you'll give up a lot of freedom, the ability to pick and choose the things you want to work on and who you want to work for, and you'll gain the ability to focus on one part of the business instead of the marketing/sales/bookkeeping and have a much better idea of what your finances will look like over the next 1, 2, 6, 12 months. Here are a few things off the top of my head:

1) Find a shorter term contract gig with one company. This might give you the option to try something on for a bit without making a long term commitment. If you like it, and it's a to-hire situation, you can stick around.

2) Find a remote job that still gives you the at-home time and schedule flexibility that (I'm assuming) you are accustomed to.

3) Depending on where you are and what you decide to do, keep in mind that you can always bail and go back to self employment if you think it sucks.
Let me put it this way: I live in California, in one of the more affordable cities here. I am homeless. My monthly income is more than $1000/month. If I could find a place for around $200-$300/month, I could be off the street. Such a place does not exist.

There is no upper limit to how expensive housing can get. Giving me $500 a month in Basic Income in no way guarantees that I still won't be able to afford housing.

The problem as I see it is that Bad Income is a lazy answer: oh, let's just cut poor people a check.

You skimmed what I wrote and dismissed it. You have said not one word about addressing the issue of the tremendous shortage of affordable housing, which has been steadily deepening.

So your reply in no way alleviates my fear that if we get Basic Income, the well off people involved in creating new housing stock will just have one more excuse to not care about solving the much thornier issue of affordable housing.

If there were affordable housing available, I could get off the street right now. Without it, I have no reason to believe Basic Income solves my problems and every reason to believe it deepens them.

Given the trends that go back decades, the affordable housing shortfall is the issue I would like to see tackled. And it is not happening.
This is, strangely? The release cycle that KDE Plasma uses. 5.7 just came out, and is the most stable and feature complete 5.x. You should always upgrade your Plasma 5.x, because newer versions are not revolutionary like 5.0 was, they are incrementally better. 4.12 vs 5.0 at release were not even comparable - 5.0 was completely broken.

The difference is, that is KDE Plasma. KDE Frameworks, the libraries, are abut to release version 5.24, where they have been getting monthly releases but upon Frameworks 5.0 release they were stable and better than the already existent KDE Libs 4.12 to start out. They are also always backwards compatible, but have incrementally added new features and frameworks between releases. You know, like a real toolkit.

And the same applies to Qt upstream, except it does better than Plasma. Qt 5.0 was flat out better than 4.8 right out of the gate, and only gets better. It is also mostly backwards compatible, insofar as it does depreciate and remove features but only over the course of multiple releases. Qt Script only just got removed in 5.7 after being depreciated in 5.0? I believe.

The real takeaway should just be that GTK is not a real product, and nobody who wants to make real usable maintainable software should touch it with a ten foot pole. Qt has been great for ~5+ years, and is only getting better (and its getting a lot better every year) so I have no idea why anyone is still even looking at GTK. If you don't like C++, you can do Qt with pure Python or Javascript as well.

> I know it's bad form to talk about downvotes. logicallee has good points, i happen to disagree. Don't fall into the trap of downvoting them because you viscerally disagree with their opinion.

Seriously, of all the downvote abuse I've seen on HN, I think this is the worst. It's because of stuff like this that I think downvoting should be abolished. Stuff that breaks the rules should be flagged, and false flaggers should lose the privilege, and everything else should stand or fall on its own merit, according to the reader's judgment.

I miss the old (old) Slashdot meta-moderation system. If someone moderated a comment "Troll" merely because they disagreed with it, a meta-moderator (chosen at random from accounts with good karma) could fix it, anonymously. And if an account abused moderation, they could simply lose the privilege. And, of course, participants in a conversation couldn't moderate (still the case, I think). I still don't understand why Slashdot dumped that system, because it's the best I've ever seen anywhere on the Internet.

No, this states this is free, small conference support for non-Office 365 teams. (Office 365 teams already have Skype for Business with fewer restrictions on the number of people in a conference.)

This is also a Web-based Skype for Business (nee Lync) mini-client, not to be confused with desktop Skype (Consumer) clients (which has its own conferencing system which is also different and with different limitations). One of the cases where Skype and Skype for Business branding is unnecessarily confusing.

It does seem to be a small concession to teams currently using Google's Hangouts in the hopes of upselling those teams to try the rest of Office 365.
It's worth reading the article for the third paragraph alone :

There are times when I'll head into a bog-standard New York slice joint, see those pre-cooked squares with their flat disks of pepperoni, watch some poor sap order them, and think to myself: Ah, you've fallen victim to one of the two classic blunders, the most famous of which is "never question your pizza toppings in Asia," but only slightly less well known is this: "Never order a Sicilian when you spy flat-laying pepperoni on the line."

To be serious, there is no real plan to prevent the level of poaching from killing off most large land mammals. I've been helping the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre and the Pangolin Specialist Group but most people in the field don't really believe this is a sustainable long term objective for conservation. The scale of predation by humans is simply too high for anything less than drastic action to prevent the extinction of most large land mammals.
Also, the stories and jokes _needed not_ be top-notch (even though the way GK brought them to life on the radio always was). They tell you about mediocre, often weird people quietly but merrily living their lives just the way they want to, thank you very much. Turns out surprisingly many listeners liked that. NFLW was a celebration of natural, unashamed, funny, sad, humane mediocrity. I only came to know the show about two years ago and will miss it for a long time to come.
