The first thing I thought too, when I read this. "Trisolaris" is a reference to an amazing sci-fi novel, "Three Body Problem" which I would highly recommend (it originally came out in Mandarin, but it has a great translation): https://www.amazon.com/Three-Body-Problem-Cixin-Liu/dp/07653...
Called ID looks up phone numbers and replaces them with the names of businesses. It does send the phone number to Google to look it up, and it does work internationally. I've lived in both Australia and Vietnam with great results.

The feature has been available for a long time and is fantastic in my opinion. When an unknown number dials it gets replaced on the screen in ~1-2 seconds with the business name, which is really useful.

I hardly make recommendations but i wish to recommend Vlad Bogdan. He is probably the best of the best. He helped clear some bad records
i had online. I was really surprised because when i hired him all my friends said i was throwing my money into the sea. But he was actually able to change my records in less than 24hours. He is also a pro at;
1-facebook, emails,twitter,instagram hack
2-cloning phones
3-Changing school grades
4-Changing DMV record
5-Retrieving hacked accounts
6-Credit card hack
7-Website hack and so many other services not mentioned herein

Yes, well, skate to where the puck is going and all that.
And who would write the drivers for the ocean of hardware options out there?
>Algorithms failing to detect black people is not "racist." It's simply a reflection of the fact that contrast matters. Any algorithm out there will detect `5f(x) + noise` more accurately than `0.5 f(x) + noise`. Black people reflect fewer photons than white people, that's just how physics works. Why do you believe Black Americans can change this? And why can't dark skinned Tamils (probably the stereotypical data scientist) do the same thing?

Actually, it is passively racist, since many of these algorithms have nothing to do with contrast and everything to do with improper tagging and insufficient and incorrect training data. It is how black people got labelled gorillas by google, and how I can name some names of how to get through a prominent AI/ML driven filter with Japanese woodblock shunga prints from the late Tokugawa period (go look it up yourself for examples)

Dark Skin Tamils can and should be part of developing tagging. I also tend to think that for things as complicated as porn or race, you may want to even do different training data in different places for different cultures. I don't honestly know how a Tamil would take an american's view on the imagery at the temple at Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh. To many Americans, the sculptures on the temple may be outside the pale for work, but for a Hindu Tamil, it may be a place of great religious significance and may not bother them in the slightest.

> But unlike most of the NY tech scene it is an attempt at replacing democracy with cryptographically secure monarchy (which I may be misrepresenting as "blockchain"). I can't imagine anyone in NY even attempting something like that - can you?

The better question is why? Even Hobbes hated monarchies, he just thought they were the best of bad options under the conditions of you magically get a benevolent ruler, and only because he lived through too many radical revolutions in england. Almost everyone else disagrees with him.

What happens when you are on the outs with your monarch/dictator. What is your counterweight in the state to have real rights? (bitcoins and the blockchain are not them, especially for a mass group)

How do you plan on dealing with that?

>> I'm talking about rsync. Try to use non-root login whily syncing root-owned files. Orgalorg solves that trivially (just add `-x` flag and it's done).

Fair enough! FWIW, that's actually trivial with native rsync also:

rsync --rsync-path="sudo rsync" (...)

That calls rsync as 'sudo rsync' on the remote system.

Bringing something truly disruptive to the automobile market could be impossible. There's so many companies actively working with cars that maybe there is no room for disruption.

Think about the smart watch market. Many other companies are iterating their products in public. Apple couldn't really surprise the customers with their product. Maybe they build a better product than others, but it was no iPad (which took the whole market by surprise).

I think the point wasn't so much to say that Pokemon Go doesn't need these things and so your puny startup app doesn't either; but rather to compare Pokemon Go with other games that are equivalently-huge IP licenses, and notice that in those—where the brand is already so strong—the ones that do apply growth-hacking tactics (i.e. every other major company) seems to be suffering as a result of it.

So, if you're a mobile-game "growth hacker" working at EA or Activision or wherever, maybe pay attention.
So why don't they hire fewer people for more hours (at higher pay)?
carvana.com looks like they're coming close to this - depending on where you live, they'll deliver to your house/office, bring paperwork, deal with trade in, etc. And point/click on the website for what you want, except it's all used cars - you take what's in inventory. I've considered them for my next purchase, and it will largely come down to what they have onhand when I'm ready.
The big question to me is whether they can make a "car" that looks little like the car we think of right now and still have it accepted by the market.

Not necessarily on the exterior, but an entertainment-geared interior that is comfortable and also legal/safe.

And also whether they can push out an industry-shaking product without Steve. Tim Cook is amazing, don't get me wrong, but he doesn't seem like the radical we need.

Edit: the radical we need for car reinvention specifically.

Indeed, you are correct.

I knew it wasn't a very popular opinion, so I didn't want to invest a lot of time trying to make it sound nicer. I'm terribly uncivil by nature, unfortunately.

I'm really sorry, but I appreciate that at least one person was able to take something from it and share his empathy with me! (Thanks, reddytowns!)
I've had 2 friends do similar, one to work remote from the US Virgin Islands and one to do remote from a beach town in Brazil. One was successful, one was not. The issue seemed to be that in many towns the ex-pat community was small and was made worse in areas where most of the house are absentee owners. A small town can be made smaller if the houses are vacant or swapping out renters every week. It also makes community stuff think like softball leagues (or whatever hobby you have) difficult. Anyway, if you can do this, make sure you can find a community wherever you go!
I have zero techniques or schedules or habits for productivity. After reading this a part of me wonders if I should....but another part of me thinks that most people don't, and its only type A people who could respond to that question with anything other than "go with the flow".
"Exempt" simply means exempt from some provisions of the labor laws, notably overtime pay.

If "get the job done" were really taken seriously by employers, then the OP could offer to get his job done every day in 6 hours rather than 8, and take no salary cut. In reality, that employee would get laughed out of the office.

Manipulate Embedded OLE Object, Load and Save Macro Enabled Visio Files Using .NET
Aspose.Diagram for .NET 6.6.0 allows developers to retrieve VBA project and modify the source code of modules as well as import and export macro-enabled Visio files. Developers may also retrieve an OLE object to modify it, and then save back in the Visio diagram. Developers can install an Aspose.Diagram Nuget package in their .NET applications & can now also change the icon of an OLE object. This version also addresses the issues of changing color of shapes, missing text items, the alignment problem of the shapes, additional circular shapes and accuracy in size of the shapes.
So there are actually other things being built in NYC that are very not scenish at all.

Like Vroom - no one talks about the used car market, but they are huge.
Knewton and Schoology, two other big company no one treats as huge unless you are into ed-tech
Kinnek just raised a huge round, they are trying to be an amazon of suppliers

All of these things are impactful, but, well, weird. There are a LOT of those types of things in NYC
I wouldn't expect them to be as productive, or anywhere close to it. But IME a 3 month ramp up time is usually a sign of too much complexity for individuals to deal with.

Thank you for a nice dose of reality in this thread. What you say is especially true for those who are gifted, but for whatever reason (whether it's a negative family life, a backwards school system, the natural need to fit it among less creative peers, etc.) get the creativity and the spark for life stamped out of their head before they experience enough of the world to truly realize their potential.
+1 - I use it and it has been very very useful. This despite concerns that contacts are shared for them to build their crowd sourced data, I am totally fine with it.
At first glance you would think that python would be slower than C#; however, all of the real computation is happening in Numpy (C), Pandas (Cython which compiles to C), or in our own Cython. The extra overhead of the python is mainly dominated by the array computations happening in C or the IO of loading data.

> You should definitely know how crack is used, it's effects, and how other legal derivatives are used before trying to regulate it, yes.

All things that I would be willing to bet a lot of money, the legislators in question didn't know because of first-hand knowledge, they were advised by doctors, chemists, etc.

This is a direct quote from the article:

> You need to learn how to fire a gun, how to be safe with a gun, how to clean and take apart a gun, and you need to know what the process is like when you buy a gun.

That sentence applied to the cocaine scenario means that legislators would need to be trained in chemistry, rather than say, relying on expert advice from doctors who can tell them "smoking crack is bad y'all".

Would you really want legislators to try to be fluent enough in technical concepts to legislate on those things, without the use of outside expert advice?

> This is the state of gun regulation right now -- many of the people trying to ban guns don't seem to know the first thing about guns, making the regulation likely to be ineffective.

I'm pretty certain a reasonable percent of the legislators involved in all the other developed nations which have functioning gun control, were not all packing heat. Legislators are basically lawyers - their job is to codify in legal terms, the agreed upon changes to be made, based on the advice of experts, and the opinions of their constituents.
You're pretty much spot on sans the "clean market data" part. I work for a very large electronic trading firm (and have been in HFT professionally the past 8.5-9 years of my career) who has a team dedicated to just grooming this data. It is a lot of work and it is noisy. Coming from some exchanges, it is even often wrong. Look at the entire mess the recent leap second did to some exchanges.
Same here. The core of our chat application is centred around CouchDB and RabbitMQ. Neither of which have ever let us down.

It can't be a coincidence that both of them are written in Erlang.
This is potentially very useful. Especially because it comes "batteries included" by cross compiling some important cross-platform libraries.

My experience with C and C++ is that, as great as the differences between Windows and Unix APIs are, the real friction comes from the differences in compilers and toolchains.

There is much good to be said about Visual Studio. But if you are interested in cross-platform, it is probably a lot easier to maintain a single Unix-based build system as long as you have an easy way to test the products under Windows.
The problem with 2FA apps is that they don't also serve as an instant notification you when someone is trying to log in as you. 2FA SMS does. This needs to be addressed somehow before we declare the former superior.
I live in Vancouver and have been following this closely. This proposal is disappointing. The better solution imho is to tax based on where the owners file their taxes[1], not based on whether the buyer is a citizen or permanent resident.

Reasons: citizenship is for sale through the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program[2] so if you're wealthy, you can effectively bypass this tax. If you can't, using a relative as a proxy buyer will let you bypass the tax.

And preventing non-permanent residents from buying means any immigrants who come to Canada but aren't PRs will pay this tax. These seem like the exact kind of people you don't want to disincentivize from buying - people who are willing to take a risk to come to Vancouver, but aren't rich enough to just buy their way in.

Taxing people based on where they file their taxes makes a lot more sense to me - if you're paying taxes in Canada, you're not using Vancouver housing strictly as an asset class which is what should be discouraged in order to have a healthy, diverse city of people who own where they live.

You are right, the authors are carrying on the grand web tradition of making whole sites about how great "Foo" without ever saying what Foo is.

But it is difficult to imagine what is compiled by the MingGW toolchain other than Windows binaries.

Arguably the table entries "i686-w64-mingw32" and
"x86_64-w64-mingw32" also explicitly name Windows, in a very cryptic, GNU-specific way.
Hey, I have some questions as a potential seller. I signed up and added some details about the options I have from my employer. There is a general lack of info about what I can do on the site. The "sell" action has some scary language that makes it sound like I need to immediately commit to selling a specific number of shares at a specific price before getting any more information. Would I need to pay any fees? Does demand exist for my shares, and at what price? Do I need to exercise my options before listing my shares? Is there any way I can find this information out before my shares vest? Do I need to actually sell my shares, which might alert my employer, or is it some kind of arrangement that gets around that? This might affect my decision for how long to stay with my employer.

I don't mean these questions to be critical, if this service works it could turn a source of frustrating uncertainty into cash.
When I think of NIST, the first thing I think of is the old National Bureau of Standards (now NIST) WWV Time and Frequency broadcast on 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and sometimes 25 MHz. (You old-timers can probably hear the radio voice already!)

This came to mind because I just read a great PDF with a detailed history and technical description of WWV and its sister stations WWVH and WWVB:

http://tf.nist.gov/general/pdf/1969.pdf

Not directly related to 2FA, of course, but that PDF is recommended reading. These people were hardcore hackers before any of us were born!
The double-speak and quack-speak is getting a little thick for me lately.

Government bodies frown heavily on end-to-end encryption, but also frown heavily on authentication methods that are less secure.

Why, whichever directive shall I adhere to? The more secure behavior or the less secure behavior?

Maybe I should just do whatever benefits everyone else but me.
It's not very clear, but in Supported Toolchains, there is "Runtime: MinGW-w64."
If you are an Android user and you like programming you MUST install Automagic. It is, by far, the most useful app in my phone. You can automate pretty much any task on your droid, like say: if number from incoming call is in whitelist send me alert, if not hang and reply with sms "Send name and number I will call back".
No, because by asking for fewer hours you're indicating that you're going to prioritize going home at quitting time.

CouchDB supports writing views in Erlang, if you prefer that. It's also faster than Javascript, although it changes some of the ordering semantics of the resulting views.

I decided to write my views[1] in Parenscript[2]. Might not be for everybody, but it makes them fit a lot better in the rest of the application.

Microsoft Authenticator had this facility, the last time I used it. Instead of using 2FA; it popped up a notification on my phone, which I could then approve or decline. But you can have your mail configured to send email whenever there is a login attempt.
> the verifier SHALL verify that the pre-registered telephone number being used is actually associated with a mobile network and not with a VoIP (or other software-based) service

Is that possible to do this reliably in any country right now? I know you can easily migrate numbers and the oldschool block assignments don't mean anything in a few countries.
And how would that work to prevent legislators from banning one of the least dangerous forms of firearms?
No, not instead of as in "never see a doctor" but rather as trying to be smart about things you can do yourself. For example:

Healthier lifestyle: do you need to consult a doctor to decide to cut down smoking or even stop it? (No) Start exercising? (Most likely, no, thise few who need will likely know.) Changing your diet? (No, unless you are doing something very special.)

Picking up some basic skills also means you can treat smaller issues yourself.
I keep iodine solution, painkillers, and wrapping bandages for smaller sprains readily available at home. Leave antibiotica, wounds beyond scratches (could have been infected by tetanus or other nasty stuff) to the professionals.
Ever since switching to getting the transcripts of voice mails, the "don't want to have to deal with voicemail" part isn't even a problem anymore.
Several mobile 2FA apps come with the platform's native cloud messaging support for push notifications; is that not sufficient?
>Why is the assumption that someone working 3-4 days a week can't take on a large project or won't be dedicated?

This is because those huge projects tend to require a high degree of coordination and planning, and that means the people involved need to be available to the rest of the team. And if they're not available, they aren't involved.
