I'd not call this an over reaction. This part of the story, no matter how true, will be used to smear pot users in the future.

People will look at the original drug as the cause when in reality there are probably many more possible things that could be associated with the cause.

This sort of thing becomes played out after time. "It's not the person's fault! It's that they used this devil plant"
Another option here is municipal fiber. The city or county installs the lines, then offers "dumb pipe" service or leases access to an ISP to offer consumer services. Roads, potable water, sewers, and electricity are offered to many communities through a managed monopoly structure, and are generally affordable. Why not bandwidth?

I have been worried about line-owning ISPs trying to become content providers, because it was obvious that they would try to find ways to privilege their content over non-wire companies like Netflix, Google, Apple, Hulu, Amazon, etc.

But with the net neutrality ruling, it might actually be a good thing. If Verizon doesn't want to be a dumb pipe, then the logical extension is: why own pipes at all?? I could see companies like Comcast or Verizon eventually leasing access on dumb cheap fiber like muni or Google, as a cost-saving measure vs. maintaining their own infrastructure. Comcast already outsources most of their installation and network maintenance to contractors.
The case will be retried so Apple is not out of the woods yet. The judge even says he believes that VirnetX could have successfully won its suit without the references to the previous trial.
Say we did just do <database>/<dataset>. What does the path "http://demo.noms.io/cli-tour/sf-fire-inspections/raw" refer to? Is the database "http://demo.noms.io" and the dataset "cli-tour/sf-fire-inspections/raw"? Is the database "http://demo.noms.io/cli-tour/sf-fire-inspections" and the dataset "raw"?

In our sample data (see https://github.com/attic-labs/noms/blob/master/doc/cli-tour.... for example) we actually have this exact path, and the database is "http://demo.noms.io/cli-tour" and the dataset is "sf-fire-inspections/raw". We need the "::".

Allowing "/" in a dataset name is very convenient (it's common in git branches). Allowing "/" in database names is essential for URLs.
This is not a danger of opiate addiction. It is a danger of an unregulated black market selling improperly marked medicine.

I'm not sure about any studies, only my own observations and attempts at breaking browsers. It depends on how the sandbox is actually constructed, and what information/level of control the attacker is attempting to obtain. But, if we go by "Being able to spawn calc.exe on someone's computer" -- if you simply look at the amount of effort needed to attack a program like Chrome versus Firefox and successfully break out of the sandbox - yes, when done correctly, it adds a good layer of defense in depth.

Chrome for example doesn't even let render processes touch OpenGL. All the rendering and layout logic for the page is computed in a separate process, and draw commands are sent over a IPC pipe instead to a controlled renderer, which actually issues draw commands to the GPU. (If my memory is still correct, anyway). Given the complex layout and rendering engines in browsers, this is good to have - they're almost purely computational logic, so they don't need many capabilities like "Open File" or "Spawn Process". It's sort of a forced realization of real capability based security, like Eros or Capsicum.

Getting outright code execution (calc.exe) is only useful once you also have a way to escape the sandbox, after you've got code execution in the process you exploited. And on (all?) OSs, this is enforced pretty much by the kernel and many other things. So you need a kernel exploit, with a viable triggering mechanism from within the sandbox, on top of the browser exploit if you actually want to break out further.

In contrast, in Firefox, etc, once you've exploited the singular process rendering your page, you have full access to the whole system, at the privilege level of the application. There are no restrictions on what your payload can do, so spawning calc.exe is trivial. This is also why multi-process is a necessary, but not sufficient, part of a sandboxed design. Firefox still has a huge, huge amount of ground to cover to catch up to Chrome, even once it's gone full multi-process.

That said, none of these attacks are impossible, even with Chrome. They only mitigate/ban certain exploit mechanisms as a consequence of design, making things much harder, but fundamentally you can still get by. With a few infoleaks and one or two good bugs, you can take the cake. And, purely by the fact these projects are so large, those things exist. But Chrome has a much higher barrier to full compromise, I'd say, and it had the advantage of being designed that way from the start.

The next step is to do things like enforce very fine-grained control flow integrity over the whole browser, which will help stop code-reuse attacks (e.g. ROP/JOP), thus killing a whole class of exploitation mechanisms outright. grsecurity's RAP work has already been tested on the whole of the Chromium code base, and has excellent performance in general. Hopefully in time something similar can come to a wider audience.
Accepted Papers for the International Conference on Functional Programming
What's funny about this thread is it's almost all people complaining about dev experience, APIs, etc and saying IG is dead...

Meanwhile their customers are very happy and very active. Look at how many snaps you see on your snapchat right now and then go look at how many IG stories have already been posted in the first couple hours.

I'd say that was a successful launch.

Nit picking things, as a developer, i understand... but ultimately what matters is: are customers using it? Right now the answer is, without a doubt, yes.

Thousands (Millions?) are debating deleting their snapchats at this very moment. I know I am.

IG did a great job getting a whole lot of activity back on their app. Congrats to them.
It's harder to tell how long an ebook is than a paper book and harder to know where you are in it from the feeling of how many pages are gripped in each hand. This is a downside of ebooks for me--harder to get an automatic sense of the geography of the book, where I am in it, where interesting things I read were located, where to flip to in order to check something.

But I think there's a silver lining to the length being so hard to see. I suspect it will lead to more authors tailoring their book length to how best to express the content rather than to the market expectations of the physical size of a "book".
No, but it would likely be purchased by a competing carrier or MSO that functions in an identical fashion.
I worked with Alan Kay's VPRI from about 2003-2007 and was fortunate enough to hang out with him in several contexts. He cares most deeply about education and developing higher order thought as a means to becoming better individuals and society. He wanted computers to be a thing children learn from in a very constructive way. He has no ego about himself or his contributions to computer science, but only wishes people would value the thoughtful exploration of learning and building learning environments his research team has worked on.
How common is this question?

Over here in Russia asking how much you make is often considered a taboo, or a bad tone. I've never been or heard about this being asked at the interviews.
How will this affect battery life?

Right now, I use Firefox instead of Chrome on my Linux laptop because Chrome consumes several watts of juice more than Firefox. This adds up to about an hour of extra battery life over a single charge.

I suspect at least part of that is context-switching overhead?
That's SeaMonkey, and paradoxically, it's the old full Mozilla suite pre Phoenix but with current features, and is much faster than Firefox.
You're probably right, but you can't imagine the thrill of using the very early Unix system releases (I was an undergrad when the first Bell-external releases were shipped to my office-mate Geoff Steckel at Harvard): imagine an OS written in a higher-level (non-assembly) language! (Well, Multics existed, of course, but that was wildly byzantine in its complexity, being based on PL/I, which itself was a huge language. ;-)

And imagine a fairly powerful OS which was so simple at heart that you could read the entire source and understand it. (Lyon's samizdat book helped, too.)

For those of us studying systems at the time, it was magical.
That would be a complicated algorithm. Market rates are tricky.
There's also no literature on the subject. So if you need benzos and opiates, there's zero guidance on what's safe. Just "we don't know, we don't measure, don't do it". In other words, abstinence.

Some people take them to increase the nod. Others might have insomnia and don't want to take so much opiates to really sleep.

Edit: And there's obviously some information on this, somewhere because e.g. IV opiate+midazolam is quite a common thing. [In a 3rd world pharmacy, I was actually offered liquid midazolam as a sleep aid when I complained long-lasting benzos were too long-lasting and asked for a medium-duration sleep aid.]
I'll check it out. Thanks! Some of my favorite reading is genre fiction that trims the fat and floats above the rest of the genre. This seems to fit that bill.

I'm also one of the heavy tab users (though even more on the high end: I routinely close hundreds of tabs when I tidy up my browser) and I can wholeheartedly recommend the Tree Style Tab extension [1]. It automatically orders your tabs in a child-parent-relationship in a side-bar on the side of your screen, which is invaluable, when you e.g. search for a product on Amazon and have all of the competing products open in child-tabs below your search parent-tab. For Hackernews, I have the front page as parent tab, the discussion pages as children and all the links in the discussion as grandchildren, which neatly orders each context together.

In this case, probably not. From the article:

> Although it is legally prescribed for pain sufferers, such as those with cancer, almost all of the street-level fentanyl is illicitly produced in places such as China. A kilogram of fentanyl purchased from a lab in China for $3,000 to $5,000 can generate $1.5 million in revenue on the street, according to the DEA.
Do you want to write a novel or do you want to write a good novel? I mean either way it's pretty easy. Just start writing and don't stop. That's kind of the whole NaNoWriMo thing. To write a good novel you just need to write like a dozen shit ones first. Ray Bradbury says ~a million words of bad fiction.
No. Why would that be a remotely rational thing for them to do?

When I use "should" in my earlier post, I don't intend it as an ethical "should". I mean it as a "if everyone acts in a rational way, this should, eventually, be the outcome".

Why would you exclusively support schema inference, rather than also allowing users to manually specify their schemas?

Schema inference is very difficult to do correctly and safely, especially with small initial samples of instances (source: work on https://github.com/snowplow/schema-guru).
I went through a phase in my late teens where I used an old typewriter to record my screeds on life, politics and technology. It was fun to get that rythm going with the keys clattering and the hammers indenting. It made it feel like you were really writing something important (I would italicize but for the phone).

I guess I was a hipster before hipster was a thing. I might have to dig through my files and see if I still have any of it...

I'm not arguing for unionization here, although it does have its advantages; I'm arguing that:

1) Unionization is easier and more effective when defection is difficult (or impossible, as in some German unions) and heavily punished. As soon as defection pays off, it loses its value.

2) The set of high level executives at large corporations is small and cliquish enough that it is a de facto union, since they can convince boards to bid up each other's prices and punish/shun those who offer their services at lower prices.
Actually, to have worked with KiCad (a CAD design tool for integrated circuits). The only thing that make it worthwhile is that it is free (as in $0) whereas the industry standard (Eagle) is worth a TRUCKLOAD of money (many grands per seat).

People have no choice. I'd hardly call that excitement when the competitor is unaffordable to 99% of the audience. It simply cannot die because of it's monopoly (of being the cheap option).

Returns to your productive capital being less than expected is quite different than being jobless. Though that is the worst-case outcome.

Asking about those advancement opportunities up front is very important during the interview stage. Getting it in your contract is even more important.

I agree that the employee takes risks when choosing an employer. I was confused about the scope of upside expectations.
Yep, exactly. I prefer print for books I intend to refer to often. (I use createspace to turn the ebook to print on demand. With Softcover & LaTeX, you can get print-quality PDFs, best of both worlds.)

Focusing on the ebook version first helps you keep the content to the right (best-fitting) length.
I was given an offer like this recently.

The downside was a lower pay now and substantially larger risk of losing my job compared to other places. And developer work here isn't exactly hard to find.

The potential upside was... maybe two years down the line they'd start paying me what other people were willing to pay me now. The guy I negotiated with even tried to make it sound like we were all there on the same terms cos our monthly pay was the same, leaving out that I'd be the only without a share, the other four sharing the company equally... have to say I walked away from that one.
GC I can see a shape of solution for since you can use something like a per-object DVVset to determine the minimum set of unresolved histories required to avoid losing data during conflicts while not unnecessarily ballooning the size of the dataset.

However, the inner-object conflict-resolution problem seems a lot harder to solve given that there's no obvious join-semilattice for arbitrary fields/data. Can you discuss what conflict-resolution strategies you're working on for auto-resolution and/or what metadata you intend to provide to the end-user in the event that you're going to punt resolution to them to handle?

Given this is supposed to be for collaborative workloads, the conflict-resolution issue seems to be a cornerstone. Git handles this by inserting sibling sections into the documents and forcing the end-user to manually deal with fixing problems, which is often fraught with pain and peril, and doesn't seem like a strategy that would work for something that's a database (as opposed to something that's a workflow).
Hacker Dumps Sensitive Patient Data from Ohio Urology Clinics
It seems to me that the viability of this likely depends very heavily on people evading visa rules and/or customs duties.

Even if a good is legal in the country to which it is imported, its often not legal for someone without a particular license to bring it in except for personal use (that will return out of the country with them) or as a gift with restrictions on who the gift is for, etc.; it seems like this is an unlicensed commercial import/export arrangement -- or, put more directly, a smuggling arrangement (and, unless I'm mistaken, not the first of its kind that has been discussed on HN -- or maybe its the same one that has been discussed previously.)
The issue here was not caused by the actual substance. It was caused to due to terrible social and legal attitudes that encourage mislabeled medicines to be sold.

If anything else in our society was mislabeled by a factor of 50, there'd be outrage over the vendor, regulators, etc. But with drugs, it's always "user error".

Opiates are extremely well tolerated, with basically no upper bound on use. They are incredibly cheap, black market aside. There's probably a fair amount of libertarian-leaning people here that see the harm as caused by things other than drugs.

The "toll" it takes on people is almost 100% caused by the legal status. Hence why millions of people in America alone enjoy prescribed opiate usage without dying or having their life spin out of control.

It'd be entirely up to the distributor of the data, so perhaps the answer to your question is "all of the above".

For example, (1) our command line tools use URL-like paths which implies "use this hostname" (to copy-paste into terminal), (2) we have some in-browser visualisations like http://splore.noms.io/?db=http://demo.noms.io/cli-tour which implies more of a "click here" type UI.

> capricious...

I don't see any justification for this.

> The judge presided over a trial during which a previous trial (that was OK to mention) was mentioned too many times? Maybe he should have just stopped that while he was presiding, rather than waiting until later?

'Maybe judges should never make mistakes' sounds like a great plan but you might want a backup plan and one better than accusing them of capriciousness when they do make mistakes.

> It almost looks like he was surprised by the giant size of the verdict, and worried it might focus too much attention on the travesty that is East Texas, so he's looking to get out on a technicality?

It almost looks like he fucked up and Apple's highly paid legal team had him dead to rights and rather than be reversed by a higher court he took the medicine himself.
Chrome took code from Webkit, and Webkit itself is from the Konqueror browser/Kpart from the KDE guys for Linux/Unix.
It's not a secret nor hidden. It's well known and something people want to avoid. Users don't intentionally take a dose dozens of times higher than helpful.

Blaming it on fentanyl is a red herring. The real issue is mislabeling. If people sold heroin instead of codeine or Tylenol, we'd see the same problem.
But Safari uses multiple processes and sandboxes those processes. You keep claiming that there is some difference between it and Chrome but you can't say what it is.

> I think one more hack is stop reading a book you know is not worth the time. It's a hard habit for me, but I've finally realized there are too many great books out there to waste time on ones that aren't. Put the book down, it's OK.

I'm in exactly the same situation and do the same thing. There's nothing that reminds me more of my mortality than looking at my (digital) library of books that I have yet to read. It's obvious now that unless I make it very big I won't ever have the time to read all of them so it's very important that I do not waste time reading books that aren't worth it (technical books are mostly exempted from this though). Like you say it's a hard habit but it's the most efficient thing you can do since time is such a scarce commodity and books are dime a dozen these days.
