What's discarded from the donor doesn't really mean much. We don't consider what parts of organ donors' bodies aren't used.
But... the ruling? Illegal state aid?
Definitely didn't assume you were. Because there was so much interest in Rust pre-1.0, there's a lot of outdated material out there, and so it can confuse people. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/14954 specifically was a huuuuge headache for a long time.

This is slowly changing, of course, the farther we get away from 1.0. I still worry about it, though.
There's a problem with upvoting on HN: upvote is also the only saving mechanism available: If I run across some click-baity title, but I don't have time to read it right now I will click upvote, but what I really mean by that is "save for later".

Maybe HN just needs to separate bookmarking and upvoting?
Hehe, I wonder if that will cause a big spike in victims. Slightly related "fun" fact, there's a botnet mining Monero for some time now.
Why Mark Zuckerberg Is in Lagos, Nigeria Now
The burden of the taxes they don't pay winds up on others, who have to make up the difference. What is when you are forced to work for a powerful company that pays you nothing? Extortion, fraud?
US telecom industry is not exactly the best example of non-regulated market. It's not like you can just come and put a new cable network in New York or San Francisco without asking anybody. In fact, Google - if ever there was a company with money and clout - couldn't pull it off in the capital of Silicon Valley, San Jose.

And if you do try to innovate, you get lots of vested interests attacking you on every corner and tons of regulations you have to comply with and some new ones that would be lobbied into law and introduced specially to suppress you. Look how much pushback companies like Airbnb or Uber are getting.
>...or is it just that evolution optimizes to the point of reproduction and then doesn't care about much after successfully handing down genes to the next generation?

I think this is more or less accurate. The optimization wouldn't be just for reproduction but also for the N years of rearing required before offspring are relatively self-sufficient, so reproduction + time to mature seems to be the rough target of evolution.
How is it any different from, say, a makefile?
To be honest I found it amusing. It looks so silly that I can't see it as real.
I deeply sympathize. Things will get better!
All your points are good. As someone who suffered a 6X cost of living increase (but only a 1.5X salary increase) when moving from Flyover, USA to Silicon Valley, I'd love to go back. I hate my 2+ hour (each way) commute. I hate that I can no longer save. I can't stand living in a small space on a tiny lot and paying enormously for it. But you know what I hate more? The feeling that when I need to find my next job, I will have only a handful of local employers to choose from or will have to move to another state to find employment. You always have that hanging over you when you're living in a non tech hub. Here, things suck but at least if you have 10 days you can interview at 10 tech companies all in the same area. That's priceless.
Sorry, C will never live it down.
I can't upvote this enough. In college I used pine for email and created C++ apps in vi. Did learn how to create VB6 applications though. That was right about the time that .net was finally released. Web app development consisted of editing HTML in notepad, so not a very real world like experience.
Someone who has the choice of working in Silicon Valley or elsewhere will probably be above average elsewhere.

Senior software developer salaries in Chicago are 97k on average.

I agree. That was the biggest takeaway for me as well.
ChalkStory is a unique social media app that allows you to record what you draw, but also allows you to pause you recording and continue to draw in order to create animation. It's therefore a mixture of live drawing and flipbook style animation. The editor is designed specifically for story like videos, and allows you to switch between scenes using the 'Clear All' function. Videos have a 90 second limit, and once completed you can save your videos and forward to friends who also use the app. Users are also able to lock their videos, so recipients are unable to save or forward.

I love other social media apps like Snapchat and Instagram, but found I had limited content to share with friends with working in an office all day. That’s when I came up with the idea of ChalkStory, which allows you to have banter with your friends, without being limited by your surroundings.

Any feedback/enhancements regarding the app would be gratefully received and I hope you enjoy.
... HN has added favorites recently ("favorite" link, on the submission/individual comments page) and thus has both. And apparently really needs a more public changelog.
I'm not sure how this can be called "mythbusters" when it doesn't provide evidence for how some optimizations are better than others. Seems likely to produce more myths rather than debunk them.
How so? I'm kinda going through the lead up and fall-out of the Peace of Westphalia right now and would love to know your opinion of Stephenson's work.
The State and Moral Chaos
I don't think this is a huge problem. Yes, long running queries might introduce lag. When this lag hits a threshold of your choosing, PGBackup (or any service that would offer it) would then gladly send out pager alerts.

The same would happen if the WAL could not be retrieved in time (because wal storage full): PGBackup would start a new base_backup and send out pager alerts.
Not really unless you know some inside info. Most probably you refer to Confidential Transactions, which RingCT of Monero was based on. The privacy advantage of RingCT over plain CT is that you can even hide the transaction amounts of IO.
The problem is, if it's a cloud connected car, or an artificially intelligent car, or even just a closed source car... how can you know if your car is going to decide to protect you over someone else?

Well, facebook is "doxing" non-members by virtue of shadow profiles and by encouraging to tag everybody in the pictures. Counterintelligence could be a valid way to keep democratic society.
>really? source on that? What states exactly does that entail?

Is that really that surprising? The Census Bureau defines the midwest to be 12 states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Their accumulated GDP is 3.6 trillion vs California's 2.4 trillion or approximately 50% more(numbers found on wolfram alpha). But then that is 12 against one, not exactly exciting that the Midwest isn't a third world country.

Not sure how CMU and Pittsburgh ended up there though that is Midatlantic not Midwest. Probably just makes the math more favorable.

All other things being equal, if you improve in just one of these dimensions, you are doing it right.

From the photos, it looks like the board is sectional, and you can remove the East in pieces as you reduce the player count. I'm guessing you can play straight Civ and Adv. Civ without any additions with it.

I'm a partisan towards the redesign, probably because I have it (had it made at printplayproductions.) It's really gorgeous and the components are very high quality, and there are no differences in play from the original, other than the errata are fixed. He makes a lot of them, so the turnaround time will probably be negligible. This is how the redesign looks.

vlc -vvv ./file.mp4 --sout "#chromecast{ip=192.168.1.4}"

You can find out the ip of your chromecast with the command "arp -a" and it should list Chromecast as one of the devices if its switched on and on the same wifi

Only works with VLC nightly builds 3.x.x. Also it is not very stable but gets the job done if you don't care about subtitles and scrolling through the video frequently.

THe best option is plex (works for many file formats). Second best option is videostream extension on Chrome (not on chromium). But videostream doesn't support all file formats. They keep updating though.
After more testing, I was incorrect about the voting URLs being capability URLs, because you need to be logged-in to vote. True capability URLs don't this, because merely having the URL entitles you to all the access.

This makes the 'auth' parameter in the voting link a CSRF token [1]. A different site wouldn't be aware of the token, but might be aware of the rest of the URL (Post ID, vote direction). By requiring a large, unguessable token to also be provided along with a vote, a third-party site cannot naively issue CSRF to vote on a particular story on a user's behalf.

"But most importantly this will make USB safer and easier to use by bringing it to the Web."

Buy a USB device.
Plug it into your computer.

Simply click on it. Website is there and ready to use!

Hey, can this be made to work with autoplay enabled? I can scarcely think of anything in the world safer than plugging in a USB device and going to a website automatically!
You guys can be real dicks to people who express slightly alternate opinions.
I imagine the change in things would be that brands would stop paying so much for product placement. Which would wind up with a much more natural movie, instead of the forced placement that is usually as glaring and distracting as a #ad on the screen.
Why the down votes? Does a promise of lower taxes not attract jobs?
More specific than oppression. As obesity and its effects are seen as acutely unhealthy, quality of life for underweight people is sacrificed for the health benefit of the obese. Clearly there is not some cabal of fat dudes stroking their bellies plotting ways to stick it to the skinny man.
Startups need to work smarter, not harder
The option isn't taken away. They can go to the grocery store if they want. That's still an option. There's no cognitive dissonance. As an institution, a university is not required to provide every option to its students. It, similarly, shouldn't bar students from making choices they want to make.

EDIT: And if they make choices that turn them into unsuitable students (poor grades, arrests, whatever), the institution is free to suspend them as appropriate.
I'm outside Philly as well (western suburbs). There are plenty of opportunities. I wouldn't say the pay is as good as other places. When you factor in the cost of living, while certainly less than the bay area, it can be higher than midwest. Also, I've run into very few remote possibilities around here, maybe because it's mostly corporate gigs.
> larger bureaucracy is harder to regulatorily capture

The example of US federal government does not exactly support this point.
got it. are you aware of/did you ever consider using the game engine Phaser? Probably wouldn't have been as fun as making your own game engine, but it does everything you mentioned.
Obviously corporations exist to make money. I'm not saying that. I do say that it is within an organization's interest to communicate authenticity. Not the illusion of authenticity (though that does benefit the bottom line too,) but legitimate authenticity.

When I think of an ad that has someone I trust talking about a product they love or trust even though they were paid to like it, I think of podcast ads. Some of the podcasts I listen to; Hello Internet, Cortex, or ATP; been a fine experiences even with the ads because it didn't feel like a dishonest recommendation. I know they're getting paid to say what they do, and that's perfectly fine with me. Advertisers should move to make experiences like that, with transperancy, so that everyone knows what's going on, knows they're basically ads, but still trust the endorsements.
Why not just order your own clone (without a brain for ethical issues) instead?
Show HN: Appdash, an open-source perf tracing suite
Yes (again). It is sadly still very prevalent in trans/genderqueer/genderfucked communities, but I don't quite see the connection to this abstract human/spambot the grandparent was offended by/referring to.
Yup, likewise I knew a guy who flunked out his sophomore year because he spent all of his time playing Quake 2 on the dorm's LAN. The university offered plenty of classes he could have been spending his time on, and he chose differently. Only so much you can do to save a man from himself.
I just checked and Edge has it. Pretty sure every browser has it.
That's a fair point. I hadn't looked at it that way.
This is almost certainly the "phonebook" hypothesis.

If Lisa has her phone number associated with her Facebook account and either Lisa or the client has the others phone number in their smart phones contacts and the Facebook app installed that relationship can pop up in people you may know. If there aren't good "people you may know" suggestions the ones you get can end up being "people who may be known to people you know".

The reason I think this is because a therapist friend of mind had this exact problem and deleting her cell phone number from her Facebook profile made it stop.

What Lisa (and anyone else with a professional responsibility to protect client privacy) need to do is to stop associating the phone number they give to clients with Facebook or other social media.

There's an even more extreme form of that where people fill the USB sockets with epoxy.
It's a bit confusing, but minio is not a resilient storage. It's just a server, kind of like webdav, but with s3 api and a capability to use multiple filesystem folders with erasure coding.

As for distributed object storages, I would expect them to work great for video editing, since they can saturate any link given enough servers. But not out of the box, you would need a client designed for it, splitting files into chunks in parallel, etc.
As I recall, it's been mining Monero for over 2 years. Reports of it in malware go back to 2014!

I remember going through the Presidential Fitness Challenge, and saying "how am I supposed to just stretch further? It hurts!" If, instead, gym class (at least, by the time one gets to high school) was more about finding ways each person liked to exercise, it would be a much greater force for health. I recently decided I just don't like to run, and I'm not really going to try to force myself to anymore.
A sensible rule would be 98th percentile so 98% of the time every customer can get X bandwidth. This allows for ~10 hours of downtime or congestion a month. They can still over provision, they just can't outright lie.
Or when the corporation buys a luxury car and the CEO leases it to himself for $1/year (this is a very common tax avoidance tactic, as the car is for "an employee" they call that lamborghini murcielago a business expense). There are too many loopholes to fix in my opinion. Why tax earnings as opposed to assets anyway?
> Are they completely legal or is this just a case of they are legal, until a court finds that they actually aren't legal.

To the extent that things are generally legal until they aren't.

The complaints from the US treasury are that the decision goes against pre-existing case law, and so shouldn't be applied retroactively. [1]

A 'power grab' is an adequate description of what's going on; the EU commission is basically forcing member states to redefine their own arm's length principle and their application of it. They would call it 'tax harmonization.'

A couple specific individuals I've known. Both ran 15-20 miles a day. They'd just go for runs most evenings or mornings and run and run. At least every weekday for one, the other I know ran daily. One was a Catholic seminarian (ran in the mornings, no family, obviously). The other was a middle-aged, family man, working as an engineer. He'd run most of his life. Both were African, one Nigerian (the seminarian), I don't recall where the other was from.
Uhhh have you seen the internet data transfer costs for S3? That would become absurdly expensive quickly. Even with a dedicated cross connect.
Honestly, that sounds like a good thing to me. I find SV startup culture to be degenerate, but it does sound nice to have a large amount of job opportunity in tech industries around.

Putting a large tech investment in a region that values conservative workplace culture honestly sounds perfect to me. I like my cube farm :)
How often do you see doctors being hired that are not members of the AMA (or similar professional associations)? Their Code Of Medical Ethics[1] isn't perfect and certainly there individuals that have ignored it for $REASONS, but at least they have created a culture where it is expected that doctors will at least try to avoid unethical behavior.

> only hire them?

I suspect this is the knee-jerk hostility toward unions I was referring to. If a strong union was created that only addressed ethical behavior, how long would Facebook be able to hire from a dwindling pool of non-members? The entire point of a union is that it's a way to put pressure against specific business practices.
Multiple discs, anyone?

If need be, you can always do a zero compression archive that is split into multiple segments, and put each of those on discs. The relevant software should be quite able to handle the disc shuffling.

"It is a future in which my loved ones and all of those who reared and mentored me will be recognized as first-class citizens deserving of the very best America has to offer, not as restive black and brown folk pathologically inclined to violence who should be pacified with low-paying jobs or beaten into docility by more "law and order" policing."

Why do they have low-paying jobs?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_struct...

68% of African-American babies were born to un-wed mothers. This alone makes it extremely difficult to actually get an education and make a living beyond minimum wage.

"recognized as first-class citizens deserving of the very best America has to offer"

Is this a joke? We have an African-American president. You can't get much more 'first-class' than that.

"beaten into docility by more "law and order" policing."

Yes, I would like more law and order and less violence. I don't want to raise my children in a society where they have to worry about getting beat up or robbed because our political correctness wouldn't allow us to arrest criminals.

"Gone would be any chance of sending my and my wife’s children to fully integrated and well-funded public schools without being forced into complicity with the structure of grossly unequal educational opportunities that wears the mask of "school choice.""

At some point, you need to stop blaming the system and start blaming personal choice. I read an article on CNN the other day that explained why the police stop African Americans more often than other races. They make up the majority of people that drive on suspended licenses and/or with unpaid tickets. The police will automatically stop you for this, regardless of the color of your skin.

What we really need to do is find out why this happens. But the truth often times doesn't fit the narrative.

What's sad about this article is that it doesn't account for personal choices and personal responsibility in the black community. There will always be racist people, but to say that the US has anything close to having systemic racism is ridiculous.

This article will only continue the ongoing racial divide in this country...but what more can I expect from VOX??

Want to see systemic racism? Live in Malaysia for a few years.
It's true openness isn't free of side effects. I think a mining company that has exclusive possession over a public resource should be rewarded with the value creation (mining) and not by possession (natural resources). A government should designate the natural resources to public welfare and is ultimately achieved by openness. A resource greedy mining company would rather dispense with transparency in this case.

Regarding the borrower problem. This is a common fear of revealing one weaknesses by openness. I believe society will invent new alternatives to support the new needs. Again, it seems openness is positive overall, despite new challenges it presents.
To be fair, I eat a rather natural diet that includes Vitamin K1 and K2 in it. Anything discussed in this thread should be prefixed with "don't eat junk" as the first step of things to do.
