Stealing money can be robbing, I agree.

But (this is unrelated matter) why is it possible to steal someone's money just by copying several short numbers? We have all kinds of advanced cryptography today but some payment systems still rely on transistor era technologies.

And even worse, companies can track customers using CC numbers. That is wrong too. The shop should not get your name or other unique identifier when you just buy something with a card.
"Hard" is relative. GM is doing it right now, Tesla is doing it next year, so there's no real excuse for other car makers other than them simply not wanting to.

Sure, I couldn't do it. But the difficulty has an upper bound based on a simple existence proof.

I never accepted America as "greatest country in the world" as a literal truth, anymore than I would say my Dad is "the greatest in the world" and expect anyone to believe it.
It's a statement of love, or belonging, or some other sentiment, but some set up its literal interpretation as a strawman and begin wailing on it.
I'm not at all surprised by this. A similar phenomenon exists in many other fields and areas of life. Those who have a solid financial support system are simply more likely to be able to commit themselves more deeply to whatever they focus on.

This has been the case for centuries: the wealthy simply have always had more means to do more things.
Rust is really staring to be seen in the wild now.
In many cases, law enforcement presence is what causes the violence.

Cops in the US are people with guns who have been trained that force is their only tool. The idea that cops will ever decrease violence is deeply misguided.
The part that seems flawed to me is that some racial groups are statistically much less likely to be high income earners. As prices increase tremendously, like you said happened here, you're going to be pushing out these racial groups. It seems like this is an experiment in creating gentrification and displacing disadvantaged minority groups.

I scrolled through the "new" pages quite a bit but didn't saw it. Hence I posted it. I don't know why the dupe catcher failed here.
Why do you need both? Are there use cases for null that are not covered by a (non-nullable) type with present and absent variants?

This is not tower triangulation.

Android searches for access points even when wifi is turned off. If anyone (with GPS enabled) uses that wifi with any google services the bssid will end up in their database. Also if the google car has been nearby it has recorded the presence of the wifi access point at that location [1].

Before you freak out: Apple and Microsoft also use access point information for positioning, although not as successfully.

What recruiters keep contacting you?
I'm a software developer in Toronto, and I keep receiving a lot of pings from recruiters from Amazon. No one else is as active as Amazon, although Bloomberg recruiters showed up quite a bit last year. Microsoft came knocking once that I can remember, and I don't think I've ever received an email from Facebook.

Is this typical? Who's knocking at your door?
Why?

The only thing twitter does better than basically anything is:

Has a giant userbase containing many influential Internet celebrities.

Except for that it is inferior in almost every single way, starting with the ridiculously low character limit, continuing with the spam everyone all the time etc the list goes on.

Hey, even google+ is better in several ways, except for the part about Internet celebrities.
I'm not quite sure what you are disagreeing with, but I assumed your original comment was about parking your car and leaving the AC running while you go shopping or whatever.

As I said, you can do this with a Prius but it's effectively the same as leaving the keys in the ignition as the car needs to be in "READY" mode, which means everything is running (at least on my standard 2010 model - maybe the PHEV model is different) - if you can get it, you can drive away without needing the key. You can also start the AC from the remote, but it cuts out after 3 minutes or when the battery gets low - it doesn't use the engine to recharge it.
Please dont forget that its not just the ones in riot gear either, often the black-block anarchists who start the destruction of property which gives the lea the excuse to kettle/arrest protestors are plain cloths police/contractors acting as agent provocateurs, who then fade into background or even pass through police lines right before the push.

Crowsds are so easily manipulated, its a time old tactic.
Yep I have memories of traveling abroad using the J2ME Google Maps on my Sony Ericsson dumbphone and walking down the street and waiting for it to switch to the next tower just to see if I went in the right direction...
That makes a good point. A lot of software being pushed out is targeted to beginner users and is broken in terms of encouraging users to to continue using it. We've gotten rid of "Advanced" settings and giving a deeper way of using the tool.

I'm not suggesting that we should leave all tools and products completely unusable unless you're a level 20 night elf. However, reward your frequent users.
Gimp is wonderful software. It's really amazing all of the work that's been done with it.

I fully respect all of the work developers have put into open source art creation tools/libraries. Blender, Gimp, InkScape, Krita, G'MIC etc. are incredible pieces of software and if more people spent time to explore, celebrate and contribute to these efforts there is no way any commercial product could keep up.
I'm not terribly familiar with Rust's story on ARM, but I do know there are people working on cross compilation. I'll see if I can hook it up to the CI later today. Certainly, there's nothing in ripgrep itself that should prevent it from working on ARM.
There's inherent tension in group demonstrations. Typically most people want to peacefully protest but you also have an element of anarchists and hooligans who jump on the bandwagon and counterintuitively do more harm than good for a movement (by turning "regular hard working folk" against the movement due to needless violence and destruction).

That said, I agree with OP, if you're posting in a public forum, don't turn around and then say you expect privacy. The internet is a broadcast medium, in this sense, you can't push the genie back in the bottle once you let it out.

So, if you're going to say provocative things which don't broadcast them and then expect only your followers to pay attention.

We're Turning Slums into Communities. New Story (S15) – Software Engineer
People have mentioned different authors across different schools of economic thoughts such as Mankiw, Rothbard, Friedman, Hayek, Smith, Keynes, etc. There's one that's also being mentioned which I particularly would avoid recommending which is Piketty.

Those are the best recommendations.

I would like to give a recommendation that might be a little bit different: 'Why Nations Fail' by Acemoglu.
Is it possible to use mutt and Gmail without enabling lesssecureapps? I know this post deals with some of those issues (gpg keys and whatnot), and Google strongly recommends IMAP/SMTP protocol users switch to OAuth 2.0, etc.
No--one of the reasons it's not a more accessible path is because it pays so poorly. Science funding doesn't follow a normal supply and demand framework; money isn't sent to scientists by customers in exchange for the benefits they provide, but by hopeful non-profit agencies giving as much as they can without expecting tangible return. There's a set pool of money to draw from (and that pool is drying up, as funding for the NIH et al. decreases) which means you can either have a small number of well-paid scientists or lots of poorly paid ones. There are societal benefits to lots of scientists, so we're all trying to be okay with pure research as a path you can only go into if you don't have large debts to repay.
Are you talking about doing this instead of buffering the channel? The reason I buffer it is because I don't want whatever is providing the worker with a message to block while waiting to send to the workers.
If the goal of this post is feedback on use from the Hacker News community, temporarily removing the log-in requirement might make sense so that people can try it out.

Indeed, 'Show HN' is a venue exactly for that purpose and if this project meets the Show HN guidelines, https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html, it might make a good candidate.

On the other hand, if the purpose of the post is mostly sign-ups, then the log-in requirement makes more sense, but it still creates friction for users and it means that the sales are based on telling people how good the product is rather than showing them.

Good luck.
The "scheduled maintenance" message didn't appear until after several minutes of "503 server error" messages.
What is critical to you is not to me, and vice versa. E.g. I have never in my life needed to work with RAW files. I have also never in my life needed to manipulate graphics on Windows.

I understand that is frustrating, but this is one of the challenges of open source - the contributors can make choices without caring about attracting customers.
In the US it's not obvious that an anonymous tip would establish probable cause for a search.
Yahoo customers are advertisers, not people with email accounts. Account holders are just a resource, and in aggregate I'm willing to bet most won't know what this hack means to them, even if they learn about it. What are they chances they lose 30% or more of this resource, users terminating their accounts? The stock price suggests the account holders don't care or have no meaningful recourse.

I work for Head Start 3-5 year old Federal Program to help them catch up with their peers. It is very impressive how far many of the children come. The issue is the tail effect of the students. How long does it last. I blame the school system's non-developmentally appropriate approaches to early education students. Kindergarten is the new 1st grade. Children are sat behind desks and pushed to read and read with speed right away. It really is sad. My daughter in Kindergarten for 10 minutes of recces at the end of the day.

I am surprised nobody talked about Text tool and action recording.

I also use Photoshop CS2 (which Abobe started giving away about 3-4 years ago), and oh boy is its Text tool much more advanced. CS2 was released in 2005 and the latest version of Gimp (2.8.10) still cannot compare :(
From my point of view, working with text is a pain in Gimp :(

Also, action recording - I think it is a highly valuable feature for anyone who processes at least 1 photo a week. It seems now so inefficient to repeat the same 4-5 steps again and again and again.
Promises and some other higher-order programming without generics are not really usable in Go.

unless you work in an industry that deals with fairly private and regulated data, but aren't a huge company with tons and tons of cash to burn. Then you are horrendously screwed.

The hardened security infrastructure is still extremely expensive to implement and maintain. You can't just deal with breaches because the fines (straight from Uncle Sam) can be huge relative to your profits. Even if the fines weren't bad enough at face value, you aren't a huge corporate giant, so customer churn after a bad enough breach is going to be worse than it would be for a bigger/older company. You are also paying large insurance premiums that don't even fully cover the fallout of a potential breach.
Worth noting that the majority of those settings are the pre-built demo environments Unreal provides. This guy is essentially just moving a Mario character inside the existing Unreal tech demos.

Split the night with the other parent (if not a single parent). Gets you ~5-6hrs/night even during the worst of it.

Trade sleep-in days on the weekend.

A combination of luck (definitely) and technique (maybe) can have 'em sleeping through the night in 2-3 months, so it's not necessarily a long-term problem.
Why not make --with-filename default even for e.g. "rg somestring" ? That seems like it could hinder adoption since grep does it and it's useful when piping to other commands.

Is it enabled when you specify a directory (rg somestring .) ?

The Foolish Errand of Time Travel
I read every comment 'Animats writes --- he's probably forgotten more about computing than I'll ever learn --- and while I've disagreed with a lot of things he's said, I've never come across a crypto comment that made me feel he was channeling Wikipedia. I think I'd have noticed.

That aside: comments like this are extremely inappropriate for Hacker News. We don't write comments whose sole purpose is to take down other commenters.

I'd be embarrassed to have written something like this in public. Maybe you were just having a bad night or something.
> I scrolled through the "new" pages quite a bit but didn't saw it.

oh that is kind of strange.
> Although goto fail; had another vibe to it. It was really strangely placed and hardly explainable. Plus it made possible to perform some pretty nasty MiTM attacks over a network.

The goto fail looked very much like a bad code merge. (I actually had a similar issue with a duplicated line when merging changes two days ago.) It's impossible to know without reviewing their full source control history, but it seemed like a plausible mistake to me.
This one certainly resonates:

> It took me decades to realize that technology is a slave to personality. It doesn't matter how good the design, when there are unresolved problems in the organization.

It's not just that a good technology design needs to fit the needs of the organization; even a design that would be a good fit will be hard to deploy if the organization pushes against it.
Totally agree PS has its own UX issues. My personal favorite: different key combinations for the first time you undo and the second time you undo.
Serious suggestion .. start a youtube channel. I do most of my learning that way (and I do have a PhD).
It's good to incentivize companies to look after their employees. This rule doesn't seem to complicate the system very much.
Increased confrontation causes violence. In particular, finding groups who are protesting against previous police violence and provoking them tends to incite violence.
The Alchemy of IoT – OutSystems Experts – Medium
Tell the people who have disappeared into police run black sites like the one we know about in Chicago that, and I bet they would disagree. Interrogation for days without a lawyer sound awfully close to Stasi-esque to me.

As Thomas Drake says, the Stasi would have killed for the surveillance engine regular lea's have at their disposal today.
Your post has touched me deeply and resonated a lot with my own life. Thank you for writing!
i'm pretty sure that's exactly what i said.
Isn't that a good thing though ? More choices, more people will self segregate out.
Why would you need, or indeed want promises in Go?

Doesn't a channel/channel-select fulfill this requirement?

EDIT: the answer seems to be downvote. Okay.
Unleeeeessssss you are a bank.

The costs of intrusions against financial institutions are seldom fully understood by people outside the industry but represent a lot of ongoing costs.
Why couldn't you do that before? Definition files are just ts files, wouldn't tsc be able to find them in node_modules?
Do you mean FDE?

Because an unprivileged account compromise could still get access to your backups in that case.

GPG or TrueCrypt-like would be the way to go there.

> Google learnt from its mistakes with Google+ and is eager to not repeat them

Google has learned nothing from their mistakes.

As evidence their real name policy is still active. Contrast with Twitter where a lot of users have fake names. And yes, you can find hateful users on Twitter and I know of some folks that have been harassed, but the community I'm active in is very professional and civilized and the conversations have a much higher quality than what I've seen on Google+ or YouTube, even with their real names. Guess some people are assholes no matter what.

Also the Google+ API is still read-only. Which means you can only use Google's official tools for posting content. There's no way for example to cross-post on both Twitter and Google+. Apps like TweetDeck aren't possible for Google+.

Oh and Google Reader is still dead.

> Google doesn't want to mess up identity again, so that wouldn't be an issue

I'm sure they don't want to mess it up, but given that they are continuously messing up identity, I'm also sure that it will be an issue.
I'm not surprised, anything that doesn't toe the Musk/Tesla line is usually met with downvotes here (already -3).
I ran an unsuccessful game service for a while, and due to the nature of our product (custom 3D characters) we suspected to receive and did receive an incredible number of hack attempts for a pretty much unknown web service. Expecting the issue, we got a US $20K SonicWall hardware firewall of the class used by banks. Best investment ever. On four separate occasions we had DoS attacks that the SonicWall shrugged off without a sweat. Typically, we'd see 100-300 actual hack attempts per day for this unknown service. To handle this, it takes is being serious, and listening and following your security experts guidance without cutting corners. They are aware security is expensive and have already mentally scaled their recommendations to a balance between what they think you can afford and security you'll need. Go with their recommendation - they are the expert.
There is frugality based on necessity and there is frugality based on considering it a positive character trait. When necessity is dominant, the other kind of frugality rarely happens.

The former quickly breaks down in presence of money, but it is a great enabler for financial risk-taking. ("worst thing that can happen is that I have to go back to ramen", call it scalability of personal finances, if you like).

The latter is quite the opposite, it seeks financial peace of mind and will take stability over opportunity any time. People with this mindset will tend to find the solid, but not stellar pay scale of science rather attractive. Self selection happens.
Wow, that's really unfortunate.

I just built a new PC with SSDs, and switched back to Firefox. Even with 16GB of RAM on an i3-2120, Firefox still hiccups and lags when I open new tabs or try to scroll.

This new issue of it prematurely wearing out my SSDs will just push me to Chrome. Hopefully it doesn't have the same issues.
How well do the assumptions behindd modigliani-miller match what happens in the real world?

I think 'invalidated' is a little strong. Do be aware that within economic models, the map is not the territory.

This one provides a great foundation for how to think about economics before you get into the details. It's a must-read.
GPS for a long time haven't been used as the only source of location, to some extent it can now be considered a "2nd fiddle" to INS since solid state INS sensors are very good these days.
The phone receives location information from wifi and more importantly it gets location messages from cell towers, and it uses dead reckoning[0] using it's INS sensors.
[0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_reckoning

If you want "privacy" turn off the location services, or your phone, if you want privacy don't take your phone with you.

That said this isn't some "conspiracy" Google actually states when you enable background location services that this will be on all the time even when GPS and the wireless network are explicitly disabled, IIRC even in airplane mode the location background service can be operational without violating FCC regulations.
Are you guys getting a tax write off for the charitable donations from the surplus pool? If so, wouldn't that give Lemonade a financial incentive to decline payouts in favor increasing your bottom line and therefore negate the idea of having no stake in paying out legitimate claims?

Maybe, but they are measurable.

Why do you think emotion can't be measured? As another poster mentioned, emotions are (unless you have religious objections) the result of physical processes, which can be observed with sufficient equipment.
I've already moved all my browser profiles to `/tmp` and set up a bootscripts to persist them during boot / shutdown. E.g. for Arch Linux see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/profile-sync-daemon

This is a far superior solution to fiddling with configuration options in each individual product to avoid wearing down your SSD with constant writes. Murphy's law has it such hacks will only be frustrated by next version upgrade.

And no, using Chrome does not help. All browsers that use disk caching or complex state on disk are fundamentally heavy on writes to an SSD. The amount of traffic itself is not even a particularly good measure of SSD wear, since writing a single kilobyte of data on an SSD can not be achieved on HW level without rewriting the whole page, which is generally several megabytes in size. So changing a single byte in a file is no less taxing than a huge 4 MB write.
The Homemade Machine RIM Used to Test Their Pagers
Serious question: Is 12GB a day really going to make a dent in your SSD's lifespan? I was under the impression that, with modern SSDs, you basically didn't have to worry about this stuff.
I'm not sure if brand image is something YouTube gives Google. I honestly don't think the general public knows that YouTube is a part of Google. YouTube seems like its own separate thing to the casual user. It would be interesting to see a poll of the general public.

But the data. The data is key. They have rocked image recognition and video is a huge data source for their ML efforts.
Yeah I think that's totally right, and in that case my argument is Japan has great "bacon" but pretty lousy "pork chops" :)
When you are convicted of a serious pedophilia related crime with irrefutable evidence against you or a confession, the min. sentence should just be execution. The likelihood of re-offending is so high and they have already done monumental damage that it's much better from a Utility point of view to just put that person down.

Sexuality is something you can't re-wire. You don't get to choose your sexual desires and compulsions. You can't "pray the gay away." Some people are asexual and they are attracted to nobody (or thing, if that's what you fancy. No judgements). Similarly, you can't stop a pedophile from being a pedophile. The only difference with pedophiles is that they are wired to cause serious negative Utility, so the negative Utility brought by killing the pedophile will be less than the negative Utility the pedophile brings if they are left alive to continue to commit atrocities.
