My journalism law teacher worked at a regional paper and being the food critic was the job where she had the most direct influence on people's lives. If she wrote a positive review, she'd call the restaurant before the paper went to print to advise them to stock up. Negative reviews frequently meant that a place would shut down in the next few months. After one particular negative review, someone shot out her living room window with a shotgun.

I imagine most regional papers today, if they even have a food critic, probably don't wield that much influence what with Yelp. I figure a good review by the NYT will cause a restaurant to skyrocket in popularity. I don't know how busy Dirt Candy was before its 2-star review (it's mentioned in the OP and was the first vegetarian restaurant to get 2-stars in some 10+ years), but I remember it being booked for months. I had to walk by it every night just to check if they had a cancellation to get in before I moved out of New York. But even if the NYT doesn't weigh in, there are so many blogs that cover the food scene in New York that there are plenty of ways to build buzz.

(I still used Yelp to find most gems when I lived in New York though)
I dont consider Cuba as a Zoo, I want them to develop of course.
The main problem is that "opening Cuba" without been carefull will create a really unstable society, few people getting rich really fast, some others becoming extremely poor. The goverment probably wont have regulations on that. You can see that right now in Cuba, people who work in tourism can have access to "international money" and therefore buy almost wathever they want which by the way you can find easily in Cuba, you just need to go to the appropiate place with the money, and legally. This is already creating a quite big divide in the cuban society.

Cubans lacks some products but they are not poor. Poor is the people who beg for money, cannot shower, dont have a shelter and cannot access any health system. When I moved to the US, I was freaking out of how much inequality and poverty I saw.

I dont hate hamburgers and bacon, but I find the world's cuisine so rich that its a pity that certain food take over local just because big chains push markets with $$$. Humburguers it is in fact the king of this, not just because of the big chains but as well because of meat industry which is quite agresive

My recommendation is the same as sparky_z. At a lower price point (~70 for sheets and pillowcases) I had some ELS (but not Pima) that were cool and pretty comfortable; soft, not in a way that strikes you immediately, but in a way that you realize once you've settled in. ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FZ4SQR0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Wk41...) Their marketing language is a bit much for me, but they're still some of the better sheets I've had, and for about half the price of the LL Bean ones. Good for non-primary beds.
This one drives me crazy. Sure, you have to be good and smart and you have to hustle, but you also have to be lucky, and luck is a bigger factor than anyone likes to admit. People who make it big forget the luck aspect and start believing that because it worked, they did everything right. They then go around dispensing questionable advice on the basis of 'it worked for them' while knowing full well that they're a massive outlier.

It's like when old successful people give "life-affirming" advice like "quit your job, follow your dreams, take risks, LIVE!" Which is great advice if you're already financially secure and you know that doing so didn't result (in your case) in you ending up as some peon working in a fast food joint. Never mind the other 99% of people who did the exact same thing and it didn't work out, because who listens to a failure?
A few more tips for arguing on the Internet:

1) Be polite. Nobody wants to listen to or learn from a rude person.

2) Avoid signaling your values, knowledge, or status. Write for the person you are addressing, not other members of your in-group. Proofread your writing and delete anything that does not serve this purpose.

3) Don't value winning more than understanding.
I won't claim any degree of accuracy to my comment but I believe it unfolds as such:

1. If you leave, you can take all of our clients in our highly competitive and commoditized industry.
2. If you leave, you could become a whistle blower for our illegal or unethical activity.

Therefore, you can have a bunch of money.

I had this problem too with GDB on the Odroid UX4 big.LITTLE SoC.

Since GDB is patching the instrution with ptrace to insert a breakpoint for example.

See my blog post about it: https://www.kayaksoft.com/blog/2016/05/11/random-sigill-on-a...

Or the post on the GDB mailling list: https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-11/msg00030.html

Too bad however that the kernel patchset mentionned in a previous post only covers arm64..

So it's still a problem from arm32.

Well I commit relatively frequently and post on twitter/facebook approximately never, so make of that what you will.

More generally I don't see the connection? I'm not making commits to show off my cool code to my colleagues. I'm making commits in case I want to revert specific changes later.

I learn to commit more frequently every time I realise I need to undo something manually because my history is insufficiently granular.

The cited first sage of "goat"-as-common-idiom-for-failure in that article is from 1912.

The acronym dates back to maybe 1992 or thereabouts: http://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2016/07/goat.html

GOAT, the positive acronym, isn't even used in today's sportswriting about basketball (at least without an unpacking explanation). It's more of a slang / online forum term.
Ask HN: Why would a botnet access my server like that?
My website gets a lot of 'traffic' from seemingly random ips, all requesting the same (broken) url. It seems I have been targeted by a botnet, but I don't understand the goal of those requests: they are clearly not trying to attack, and not fast enough to be a DDOS.

I get on average one of those requests every couple of seconds. This has been going on for more than a year now. Any idea what those are?

Here is an example from my log (ip and server name redacted):

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx myserver.com - [13/Sep/2016:06:34:49 +0200] "GET /invalid HTTP/1.1" 403 345 "-" "Mozilla/5.0"

> Hell, just DEFLATE your TIFF and call it a new format

You don't have to call it a new format, TIFF has supported lossless compression for decades now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIFF#TIFF_Compression_Tag

DNG is also based on TIFF, so I can imagine people might use libtiff to read DNG headers.

Long-Secret Stingray Manuals Detail How Police Can Spy on Phones
Windows 10 Mobile has replaced Windows Phone. Much of the practical functionality appears to be incorporated into the Camera app on Windows 10 Mobile.
I don't doubt that you can have a library that provides all those features. All those features can exist for any lossless image format. My point is that as far as comparing image formats goes, the capabilities of the frontend library isn't a useful metric for evaluating the format itself which, in my opinion, can optimize for the following traits:

1. On-disk size

2. Compression/decompression speed

3. Access speed (for use in image analysis algorithms, editing, compositing, etc)

4. GPU friendliness (which operates in warps on small blocks of contiguous pixels in image space)

TIFF doesn't really optimize for any of these (not even #2 since in-memory decompression can be faster than paging uncompressed data from disk)
For what its worth some hotels have been known to intentionally degrade network performance / access to push people to the hotel supplied service. That has included screwing up people trying to stream video into their room via the network rather than buying the PPV movies that the Hotel provides. Either of these failure modes have a good chance of degrading the viewing experience of streaming video sufficiently to make it unusable.

If you are in a hospitality situation you can demand a refund on your Internet charges, or if the Internet is "free" consider asking for a discount on your bill.

That said, power line networking (the author mentioned devolo) is notoriously fraught with challenges. A company I helped start was acquired by the folks who put power line networking on the map (Tut Systems) and their were a lot of interesting interference sources they tried to mitigate. Inductive loads (motors) coming on and off was a big challenge, and places like hotels would have large fans that would circulate air through the common areas or hallways. Fluorescent lights were another noise source.

All in all it was a poor excuse for a network and everyone was amazed they got a megabit per second point to point through it reasonably reliably.

While this is an important skill to have, I've also learned over time that there are certain types of people where it's easier to let them "be right" and accommodate the consequences. I didn't always think this way. In the past, I would say that people are reasonable, it's always possible to figure out what the truth is, especially if I acknowledge the possibility that I am often wrong. But now I realize that some people have a very skewed view of the world around them, either built up from a lifetime of emotional trauma, undesirable upbringing, or something else. edit: it is unfortunate when their own skewed perspective causes self-infliction of additional emotional trauma, it's a very negative and constant feedback loop. And that skewed perspective causes any and all disagreements to be perceived as personal attacks or worse. Every time I feel like I make progress with these people to earn their trust enough to get them to talk with me, it's back to square 1 when a new issue crops up, and then it's once again obviously because the world is out to get them, and there is no possible other explanation.

Eventually, I get to a crossroad: either I accept what these people are saying as right (even when it's wrong and would require some absurd actions on my part), or I navigate to exit that situation so I can minimize my future interactions with those people. If neither are possible, it's perhaps time to find new work. Of course, I'd love to get onto the same page as them. But I think we have to acknowledge that sometimes it's not possible. I say this as someone who believes that he has gotten pretty good at this skill after years of experience.

As would probably be expected, these types of people are lifers at organizations where they have used political means to entrench themselves, and would likely not survive on the open market if they ever needed to look for new employment.
Interesting to think what an autopilot system should do when it is suddenly in the presence of a car accident. I would love to read about frustrations at the NHSTA trying to crash test cars with autopilots that kept swerving just before they hit the test barrier.

> Firewall: I don't think default to no firewall is a problem -- if you want something, you can set it up.

I'm very curious about this one ...

As far as I know, any remote holes without a firewall on a default install would be a ground-breaking, DEFCON-1 level security event to server admins. Complete with CVEs, news coverage on various sites, etc ... right? The only time in history I recall this being a problem was with Windows XP, which led to Blaster and Sasser.

Now I'm absolutely in favor of firewalls, but whenever I spin up a new VPS, there's going to be a window of about 20-30 minutes where I need to get in there, upload my SSH public keys, secure SSHD, tweak my sysctls, write out my pf firewall rules, and then activate them. There are also times when I need to test why a connection is failing, and one of the steps to testing is to turn off the firewall momentarily.

I know that attacks are basically incessant against any server on the net. I see dozens of IPs trying brute-force root login SSH attempts a day against my boxes.

How much danger is there, honestly speaking (not hypothetically), in this window? Would it be worth it to petition VPS providers to allow us to specify our own IP address, and have them enable a default "deny everything except from this one IP" firewall setup on new instances, or is that just total overkill?
Rumor is that 'Lumia' will be replaced with 'Surface' for branding.
> Since Apple screwed up the Open/Save dialogs a couple of updates back, I've actually come to appreciate the Windows open/save browser more by comparison. Being able to manipulate files from within Open/Save is a fairly neat trick, as is the ability to pull in remote files from within Open by pointing to a URI. I still can't exactly love Windows as an OS taken as a whole, but Apple's changes haven't improved things.

Mac OS 10.11 (El Capitan) allows users to manipulate the file system from Open/Save dialogs. Right/ctrl-clicking a file will reveal additional options.

I don't think it's possible to put in an arbitrary URI, but if you have a remotely mounted volume you can navigate to those files.

From my limited understanding, being able to download a file from an arbitrary URI by invoking an Open/Save dialog seems potentially troublesome, but does seem kinda neat in principle.
Play-by-Play: Trying to make it as a sports commentator
I took a course this summer called "Design Thinking," which is about a methodology that emphasizes empathizing with the users of a product or service to improve that product or service. Empathy is an extremely powerful tool for communication between people, which is so fundamental to almost everything we do in life.
I switched cable internet providers because the original one (a large incumbent here in Toronto that rhymes with Ogers) wanted to force me onto their combo wifi/modem (the other large incumbent, rhyming with 'Ell, has the same constraint). I absolutely refuse to use an integrated device from the carrier at this point because I have experienced the crap that they use previously. Give me a piece of equipment that does one thing well, and let me pick the most reliable in-house networking equipment myself.

I don't know if hustle is enough for success, but I don't think people simply mean "working hard at doing all the things that make a company successful." when they use the word. Even though the precise definition is hard to pin down, you can easily spot it during its absence.

There are times when you wish to do something, and you avoid it because it just feels like you might be pushing it a bit. If you still did it anyway - what you did was hustle. In fact, I would say that if you reflect on your life and think of the times when you didn't take that invitation to an event, or that break to go on a vacation, or introduce yourself to a person who you liked, and then realized that the choice you made was too safe, and your choice (lack of hustle) didn't help you all that much long term anyway, you can see its absence quite plainly.

Having said that, I also agree with you on one front. Instead of using the word hustle, if these articles gave an example, and then maybe made a point about why that is hustle, it would read much better.
JS web frameworks benchmark – Round 4
Taking this discussion a step further: in the bullets/deer instance, you'd be more likely to evolve a primary lifeform that looked more like a tree or grass or slime-mold than a deer. That is, it either consists almost entirely of bullet-stopping material (wood), or is so lightweight that bullets don't effectively transfer energy to it (grass), or the structure is entirely decentralised such that a bullet, or even a hail of bullets, cannot disrubt the systemic function of the organism -- it simply absorbs the projectiles and functions around them.

A chlorine adaptation, if possible, would be along similar but chemical lines -- you'd end up with a non-protein based chemistry, or something not affected by chlorine, or which could buffer it to extreme levels.

Differential resistance to bleach at low concentrations might be possible to breed for. That could be interesting. In a similarly horrifying sort of way.

I think the purpose of this is to predict proofs ahead of time. Which could be useful in the management of people. As they say in the intro, given a group of specialists, this algorithm can guess, on a daily basis, which of the things they are working on are more likely to be true, and which are more likely to be false. Before the proof is finished.
Yeah, it's pretty nuts having to study the output of camcontrol and /dev, creating a devfs ruleset, adding that to /etc/rc.conf, adding your CD drive into /etc/fstab, and then tweaking a sysctl, just to burn a CD.

I am hard-pressed to think of the security risks involved in a user being able to burn a CD. Short of some kind of highly-confidential server with no internet access, where you'd probably want the whole machine inside a locked cage anyway.

WRT1900ACS is pretty good with DD-WRT (uptime can be until next firmware update). Linksys also sell special set of antennas, which improve signal range (costly but can be worth it depending on your situation). I think they target it for network enthusiasts, rather than very wide market, so they put some effort into quality there.

> It is amazing to me that people care so much about what other people think; they want to be told what they should and should not like.

This is an amazingly uncharitable read on the reason that food critics exist. How about this version? There are thousands upon thousands of restaurants in NYC. Constantly opening and closing. No human in the world has time to try them all, and going to one that sucks is a wasted opportunity. So having outside sources to turn you on to good places is really valuable. If you find a restaurant critic whose taste you agree with, taking his or her recommendations can drastically improve your ratio of good to bad meals.

It's no different than looking at reviews when going to a movie. If there are 15 movies playing, I'm a fool for reading reviews to help me decide what to watch? I suppose I should just try them all and then decide for myself what I like, rather than "being told what I should and should not like"?
i really enjoy space movies, and i like the nasa missions of history and this excellent Blue Origin project. I wish i had studied orbital physics or something, and work at Blue Origin or the JPL.

I've also seen NVLink on some of the pre-Pascal roadmaps for nVidia's gaming-oriented graphics cards. Since the current generation gaming consoles has HSA, I'm hoping that it gains in popularity and because less niche. Problem is that it'd be a pretty vital component to be nVidia proprietary.
