I'm no expert, but I'd imagine fully dropping the quotes wouldn't allow you to use the same syntax as a map/dictionary in Javascript, whereby the keys could be [almost] any type, and string keys could contain characters such as - or even : which otherwise would prove ambiguous to a Javascript parser.
Mosquitoes are an essential part of the diet of many species: birds, spiders, toads, small rodents. The assumption is that those species could find replacements, but it is still a major change.

The increasing use of icons and emoji suggests that English will become like Chinese!

(Ever try to look up an icon in a dictionary? This puts paid to the idea that icons are decipherable by people who don't know the language. Copyrighting the icons makes even that infinitely worse, as it prevents standardization.)
I used it as inspiration for my setup. But you also need a bunch of other stuff, like the CA setup and Kubelet cert generation, which are buried in the whole kube-up structure.

If you did all of that you'd still fall way short of what you have been able to do with XML for probably 10 years. XSD defines structure in terms of inheritance, composition, strong types, numerical ranges, enumerations, referential integrity, namespaces.

I included that one as an example of how artists are merging instrumental hip hop back in with Jazz; there's plenty of other styles of Jazz in the list! You're right that a global statement of "couldn't have been made before 2010" for the whole list was a bit over the top.
Why is it bad to use case sensitive alpha plus digits plus two punctuation? The article already uses 62 chars (minus the two punctuation.)

If you encode fewer bits per character, you get a longer key but no more security.)

Raw binary: 16 bytes
Base64: 22 bytes
Base32: 26 bytes
Base16: 32 bytes

The only reason to use base 32 is codes that a human may enter (promo, verification, serial) to remove case and O/0 ambiguities.

The only reason to use base 16 is laziness (some APIs generate this for you.)

API keys are presumably copied from the generation page and pasted into the local app config file.
That only makes sense if you can pay with monopoly money.
I agree that it's a slightly odd way of describing the situation, but it is true that this is a _different_ kind of architecture update than what Intel has done for the past few years, which is worth pointing out to readers. For people who are not up to date on Intel's roadmap, this update is distinct from what has happened before, and therefore anomalous.
The description of what they were proposing sounds like a whole stream of shlock Westerns from the late 80s - the Western equivalent of Harlequin romances, complete with series numbers that reached into triple digits. You used to see whole shelves of these in used book stores.

Took a bit of searching, but stuff like the Trailsman and Longarm series, some of which may still be alive - and with close to 400 books in the series.

I have to agree with jessaustin - this was a con. The fact that they were able to leverage a securities connection into felony charges does not make it venture capital.

Yeah although in this case I meant smaller scale. Something seems to have forcibly woken him up from the standard Silicon Valley dream.
I don't know the history of why design decisions were made in JSON, but one might be the allowance for spaces in keys and mirroring the usage within arrays (where commas and spaces may be used in a string, but shouldn't be confused with a record separator).

Per my other comment, there are a variety of plugins on the editor side that will make JSON look like this (e.g., vim-json ). To write out to JSON from that format, you can obviously just write a plugin (in JS this is one line).

This is such an obvious ploy, it probably has the opposite of the desired effect. Uber would've been better served saying Lyft is worth less than their cash on hand because of burnrate / runway and fierce competition. By establishing a $2B floor in what is clearly a ploy, Uber is actually communicating that they obviously think Lyft is worth far more than $2B. They just helped establish an anchor of more like $6-8B. If you are Lyft or Qatalyst, this is an exceptionally easy case to make.

The only way this is smart is if they're hoping to help pump up Lyft's price as a comp for themselves, or if they hope to drain a buyer of cash/assets by overpaying for Lyft and thereby lessening their competitive resources under that buyer. Both are stretches and silly bets, though.
I am all for such updates, especially when they bring new important features. For some reason people always think it's all about clock speed, performance, etc. It isn't. Kaby Lake new features introduce:

Native USB 3.1 Generation 2 (10 Gbit/s) support (personal favorite)

200 Series chipset (Union Point)

Support for 16 PCI Express 3.0 lanes from CPU, 24 PCI Express 3.0 lanes from PCH (LGA 1151)

Support for Thunderbolt 3

I remember a story about a worm that is extracted using a stick: the worm is presented with the stick, wrap itself around it and you can pull it out.

With the exception of trailing commas, all these things would break the fact that JSON is a subset of JavaScript. Breaking that would cause a lot more problems than it solves. It's just that the minor problems you have to live with seem worse than the major problems you don't.

IMNAL but...

> Keep personal expenses out of your company books.

Is likely the most important advice in this piece. If you only take the compensation you agree with your investors/board to take, and you never pass unrelated expenses back to your entity, you will at least appear to be acting morally.

The second you start commingling funds, is the second you enter a period of extreme risk. Never commingle investor funds with personal funds and avoid spending on things that you 'justify' as a business expense if they benefit you personally in anyway.

I have a feeling we are about to read about more cases like this one. America is in full startup fever right now and people will act immorally when they realize that success is out of their grasp.

Seems like he went behind their backs with something as major as press release when he wasn't even part of the marketing department. There may not be a specific clause in his contract, but this definitely made him a liability as he recalls being called by the person letting him go.

Lesson learned: I don’t think what I did was that wrong

I don't think he learned this lesson.

We have to live with the rules the accreditation boards set. You lose your accreditation and its game over and the whole community suffers from not only the loss of a learning institution, but an employer and social work organization.
The stricter syntax allows JSON to be directly parsed outside of JavaScript in other languages like Python. This is a nice feature and one of the selling points of JSON.
Sorry, I think React was not Client-side framework, it's only "A JAVASCRIPT LIBRARY FOR BUILDING USER INTERFACES" (taken from it's website). As we know, it's like jQuery, few people call it "Javascript Framework", but it's only "Javascript Library". CMIIW, thanks before :))

One thing I don't entirely understand, from the article, is what happened to the system that nerve pathway was initially intended to control.

They "hot-wired" a nerve for bending his elbow - does that mean he has a reduced ability to bend his arm at the elbow, or is it just effectively adding another route from that communication path?

> Do you really think a desktop mail client is where Mozilla should be investing?

Yes! A thousand times Yes! The first paragraph of Mozilla's mission statement[1] reads "Our mission is to ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. An Internet that truly puts people first, where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent"

Email is still a very important and unsolved part of the internet, but Mozilla has dropped the ball and is instead doubling down on IoT and other peripheral projects. I don't see any other email client or email provider in existance that empowers the individuals the way Mozilla could, which is a crying shame.

It comes from the flow of edition: remove the last element of a list (which typically is on its own line), forget about the fact that there is a comma at the end of the previous line.

But both optional commas and optional double-quotes are provided by Hjson <https://hjson.org/>. They do not advocate its use in protocols, however.

NASA does research. It also publishes research. The latter is a subset of the former and we don't know how the subset compares to the superset.

I can access what it has published in 2016 which I couldn't access in 2015.

I'm not aware of, or know, everything an organization with a $20 billion budget this year and roughly 4% of the US GDP during the Cold War ever did and found there's no difference between that and what it published..

My comment was because I assumed that NASA didn't publish all its research before. Considering the size of that knowledge base, is this assumption so stupid and negative to deserve to be downvoted that much?

Read the article before commenting. Seems obvious but it's rare I find in online communities.

The article is SPECIFICALLY about billionaire donations to wealthy universities that have no need for the donations.

I think the 'which is clearer' thing is up to personal choice and experience. And personally, often when I'm programming in one not-Lisp, I'm often bitten by things which would have been explicit in Lisp, and the other way around - sometimes I really wish that different things looked different, as in Perl.
If they solve the self driving problem at the same time, competition wouldn't allow it.

But let's say Ford cracks the problem 18 months before anyone else. Ford could open up its own uber clone--or buy lyft. If I were ford that is what I'd do, since self driving cars may drastically reduce automanifacturing revenue.
Personally I would rather it require trailing commas like Go does, any optional syntax is a step backwards IMHO
This is a good idea. Also browser makers won't feel like they're supporting another format. It's just a modernized version of JSON.

It's much easier to write simply code that compiles in C, and much easier to write complex code that is correct in Rust.
Linux definitely does have to get updates for new chipsets, mostly around power management features. iGPUs also tend to get updated, which needs new drivers. Old kernels will still run, but they will use more power than necessary and not have access to many new features.
Because using certain keys could break your JavaScript (and JSON was designed to be a subset), like

{ delete: "me" }

If you don't want to keep a list of known keywords around, just insisting on quotes is the easier way.

No that's not what I'm getting at. I'm saying the design of secure protocols is best left for smart people. Every time you post on HN, you're using cookie auth, but you don't have to worry about replay attacks because everything runs inside TLS. Any environment that has HMAC libraries also has the libraries one would need to do the right thing.
It's not on every story I read, so there could be something about the types of stories you favor that draws out the dismissers? I wonder how many clusters of users could be found based on which articles they like to click and comment on.
> There is even more incentive for people to not own a car and instead use Uber

Sure, but if every company (think Tesla/Google/Apple/Amazon etc) eventually can build/buy autonomous cars and offer the same service, what competitive advantage would Uber still have? Their current network effect of matching drivers with customers is where most of their value is imho. If that disappears, then I really don't know why we still need Uber.

If I speak into my wearable iEarplug in 2020 and say "Hey Siri, get me a car", would I really care about it being an Uber car?
Most programming languages do not use secure random number generators. As you suggested it is not always wise to use UUIDs for API keys if you are not sure about the nature of the PRNG.

Python for example uses os.urandom for random UUID generation (uuid4), as can be seen in the source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.5/Lib/uuid.py#L603

The standard library guarantees that os.urandom is "[...] suitable for cryptographic use." (https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/os.html#os.urandom)

I'm not sure about other languages, so it might always be a good idea to look it up in the source code.
That's definitely turn off I agree, it says that the reason is if you need want to edit or upload. I agree though that for read-only you shouldn't need to auth. There TOS is are fine though if you read it. Also the person behind this a Google employee so i don't think theres necessarily anything nefarious going on. This is the OSCON talk he gave on the project a while back:

You'll never know if your PRNG is broken if you just assume it's not and don't check. Well, you might find out later, and have a lot of tricky cleanup.

The rule with press is that they never listen.

I've had press get released early despite verbal assurances to the contrary more times than not now.

These people were influencers and bloggers, nothing major.

Most major browsers now support non-eval JSON parsing that it's a moot point - but it still requires it to be valid JSON, also be be usable in javascript out of the box.

JSON has the same thing going for it as the h.264 video codec - it may not be _the_ best/most open/etc. format around, but it is one of the few that is supported out the box by all major browsers and Just Works™ (with it's shortcomings).
Are you sure it wasn't a scam to rip you off? I'm born and raised in Tehran and numerous times I had gone out for dinner passed mid-night, and I simply walked into a restaurant, ordered the food, and ate (assuming the kitchen was still open).

Specially because people in Tehran prefer to have late supper compared to North Americans, it was a lot easier to find food options late at night than say in Toronto where past mid-night the only option is fast-foods.

* nod * I see what you're getting at. We do have a "nootropics sampler pack" on the road map, which would make things more accessible to new users, but that doesn't address all concerns you mention.

As for Amazon... I'd think they're closer to Powder City? The focus on low cost seems to match, anyway. I'm not sure if the your model of priorities of customers applies to literally everyone — we're not trying to capture the entire nootropics market at this point, as that would seem doomed to fail.

Your final advice sounds very much like the lean startup approach — and I will readily admit that we've not been very lean, and that a lean approach would have been better. But yeah, better to gather info now than not at all.

Hi, OP here.

If you're already employed at the company they know what you can do, so it's actually not that hard in many places to reduce hours.

If you're looking for a new job you basically need to:
1. Get the right vibe from the company during initial interviews.
2. Be really desirable as a candidate.
3. Only bring it up after you have an offer and it's clear they really want you.
4. Emphasize how when you work you really work.

And as others said, having a good excuse helps. "I want to spend more time with my child" is mine, and it's true, and why I worked 27 hours/week in the past and 35/hours now.
It wouldn't be JSON then. Give this new thing a new name and move on.
I thought SMAP had a young version, ready to graduate into the real SMAP as the core members slowly got too old, so that the brand could live on, similarly to how Morning Musume are still around as a brand, though none of the original cast is present.
