In France there are designated spots right in front of the ATM for the fund transfert trucks. It's forbidden for normal cars to park there. I'm not sure about the move, since some fund transfert trucks are unmarked (I don't know the criterion they use to choose between using an armored truck and discreet truck).
I personally like context-controllable summarization http://www.lexcognition.com/summarai/
Why do you ask?
But then you need transfers if the destination is out in the burbs, and that's terrible for door to door transit times.

Underground uber with no stoplights and no pedestrians clogging the intersections, with nice onramps to regular highways and your door to door times will be dramatically lower.
So, most captchas don't seem to pose much of a barrier to bots that need to get round them.

A couple of months ago there was an article on the state of web scraping in 2016: https://goo.gl/eUtkRA. In it, the author easily identified and integrated one of many captcha solvers.

Worst case scenario, there is also crowdsourced mechanical turk style captcha solving as a service: e.g. https://anti-captcha.com.

I guess this raises the question as to whether captchas pose more of a barrier to users than bots, and whether they should be used at all?
This is the one I used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEIkIrYQYYY&list=PLjyuVPBuor...
It seems that they are ignoring pretty much any user feedback. People are complaining everywhere about them polluting the web interface Dropbox Business/Team advertising, even for paying Pro users.

The best you can get is 'I will forward this to the team', but usually there is a wall of silence.

Please Dropbox, fix this, listen to your most valuable asset, paying users!
When reading these compensation threads, I've been curious about this for awhile. In your valuation, are you counting the stock's price at the time of issuance or time of vesting and delivery?

If quoting as of time of delivery, I think it's a bit confusing as it mixes in the capital appreciation or loss of the stock with the employers actual intended total compensation for the year of the award.

For example, let's say you were awarded 400 shares of stock 2 years ago, and 100 shares vest each year. Stock price was $300 two years ago at the time of the award, but now is $600 at the time of this year's vesting.

Would you count the contribution of 100 vesting shares to your total compensation for this year as $60k?

Or, since it was awarded 2 years ago, would you have included the full 400 shares only in your two-years-ago compensation number valued at $120k?
It's not very relevant to the current discussion, but there is a security advantage to requiring a public password vs totally open. For instance, a store could post a sign reading "Welcome to N Guy's Burgers; our WiFi password is 'N'".

You see, if the WiFi network is truly open, then client-to-access point traffic is open and can be sniffed by other clients on the network. But if the network is secured, even trivially as above, then each client's connection to the access point is individually encrypted and cannot be sniffed.

That means, if you needed any password to join the network, you needn't fear the questionable critter with the MBP in the corner (unless he's hacked the store's ISP or upstream from there).
Actually, the data suggests that humans naturally choose safe speeds without posted limits, and usually higher than what posted limits would have been. http://archive.etsc.eu/documents/copy_of_Speed%20Fact%20Shee...

Everyone I've met who drives under the speed limit is a bad driver who doesn't understand traffic dynamics enough to understand when going faster is more expedient and matches traffic patterns. By going too slow, you actually cause a hazard by forcing people to pass you.
Are there any good references online about how to switch from Github-based collaboration to one based on email and patches? I'd like to give it a try and see how it feels.
The amount of times I see a cyclist blast through a stop sign at full speed is about the same as I see a car blatantly run a red light -- maybe once a month. The vast majority of cyclists rolling through stop signs seem to roll through them at about the same pace as cars do.
My US driver's ed specifically instructed (unofficially) that, if the posted limit is over 40mph, feel free to go as much as 10mph over if it matches traffic conditions.
Have read it too, but the question was what's wrong with GPL3 that isn't wrong with GPL2. Am I again the only one to notice? :)

I'll give you folks a hint: the specific quote dleslie responded to says that OpenBSD stuck with GPL2 version of GCC to avoid GPL3.

But, of course, this place being HN, people have attention span of an infant and forget the context by the time they catch something they'd like to respond to :p
People shouldn't be required to wear seatbelts. Of course if they don't they also shouldn't expect the public to pay their medical bills via NHS, Obamacare, or what have you.
TLDR: The lawyer in the viral YouTube video on not talking to the police has written a book on it. Also, due to a Supreme Court ruling, saying that you invoke the 5th amendment can be seen as admitting guilt.
> Vx32 [...] Rather than just validating instructions, it translates each basic block to a modified set of instructions - essentially an x86-to-x86 emulator.

Nice summary, thanks. Reminds of valgrind though.
Yeah, even after nearly two decades of driving and being aware that drivers in the US routinely exceed the speed limit I'm still a bit surprised by it.

Maybe it's because Australians get ticketed more for it, or are more likely to get ticketed for it. Back when I was living in one of the capitals (Adelaide) I recall there being quite a few fixed location speed cameras, red light cameras, and combined speed and red light cameras, plus regular mobile cameras on the arterial routes and often on the secondary routes.

Back when I used to expose myself to free-to-air TV I also remember there being regular advertising campaigns about how driving even 5k/hr faster increases stopping distance significantly. The required stopping distance on dry road at 40k/hr is 26 meters[1] and at 50k/hr is 35 meters.

Maybe we care about each other just a tad more. I don't know.

This reflects the core argument to do this...but the truth is more subtle. Agencies and in house SEM teams are inherently biased to want to spend on brand terms because a) they can attribute more sales to their channel and b) Justify more spend which equals more revenue for most agencies...

I am not discounting the validity of the argument to bid on brand terms and I bid on brand terms for most of my clients...but I always disclose this inherent bias before making a recommendation...

In truth, every brand should test for themselves how it impacts their bottom line and if protecting their brand is worth the spend...

------
The cynical voice in my head thinks that most digital advertising today is really ad tech companies hijacking revenue that brands earned already...and if not for competitors using that same tech, no one really needs it... (i.e. remarketing, custom audiences, branded search, first party data, etc...)

In reality, I actively spend my clients money on these tactics and congratulate myself on the results I generate for them... but in the back of my mind I am waiting for the ad tech bubble to burst and media companies disappearing and being replaced by branded content, content marketing, etc...

Not entirely clear why you are posting this?

It's clear that there is some diversity of opinions on this topic, but we already knew that.

To me, your datapoint shows that Dropbox is right to behave the way they do: in 2011 you thought it was high risk, they have kept with that behavior and yet nothing bad has happened. I'm unsure if that was your intention, but that is how it looks to me.

It is entirely unclear why you think this is particularly risky: If Dropbox can do it, then other malicious programs can too.

Dropbox's behavior creates no additional security risk, but increases the usability of their software.

If there really is a security problem here, then surely that is a problem with the OS, not Dropbox, and it is the OS that should be fixed?
In all fairness both sides seem to have engaged in sleazy behavior throughout the years. To me this whole situation was nothing more than a hizzy fit by Massimo Banzi whose enormous ego won't allow him to see the forest for the trees. Somebody already posted the story of Hernando Barragán so now I'll post some of the strong arm tactics that they (the alleged less sleazy arduino) employ against their partner resellers: http://blog.pimoroni.com/why-we-wont-be-selling-genuino-ardu...
> Is an SUV running a stop sign twice as bad as a compact car running a stop sign?

That's such a willfully stupid response. Compare these:

Bike:Compact:SUV to pelletgun:handgun:rifle

Morever, did you read the first thing that I said? "Before I get all the hate I have to say of course cyclists should obey the laws." Thank you for adding NOTHING to the conversation except for demonstrating the whacked out stupidity that is the core problem here.

Your kind argues that we have to obey the same laws as motorists while forcing us into the gutter. "Separate but equal?"
Unfortunately, Google Drive has quite serious issues for heavy users of file synchronization (the last time I tried it):

* It does not do chunked syncing. Change one bit of a 5GB file, it gets resynced completely.

* You cannot get a list of shared files/folders. You basically need to check sharing per file/folder by hand or write/use a Google Apps script (which is very slow).

* It does not support LAN sync. When I share large directories with colleagues on Dropbox, sync is very quick, because the transfers are just over the local network.

* The last time I tried, the Google Drive client regularly had problems syncing some files when syncing a very large set of files.

(* There is no first-party client for Linux.)

So, take your phone without the Play Store, and get the apps that people in the US or the EU want. You'll find almost none of the apps users want are available without Google Play. And most of them won't even run without Play Services even if you sideload them.

Basically, what Google did gradually over the last few years, is fork Android. The APIs developers are encouraged to build their apps on are all proprietary, to ensure that their apps are also tied to the Google ecosystem.
Thanks for sharing. The music presented is really good.
You also can't come to a good definition of the word "species".

We like to categorize things. Sometimes arbitrarily. What's wrong with that?

I don't see the point of this article.
> "On the other hand, GitHub does not scale to larger projects. He pointed at the Kubernetes project"

It seems according to this, that Github is fine for a project until it scales to such a size as you need an alternative.

So even this is agreeing that small projects should start with Github.

It would be useful to know the lower bound of users/developers at which point you need to switch to a more flexible system like email.
Blender is COMPLETELY customizable. It's open source. Most of the time you can right click on something, and open the source code inside of Blender to update it to what you want. I don't normally do that as I make my own add ons instead.
Man, your Github notifications are mixed into Chat?

Keep in mind Dropbox literally got its start with adding the sync icons in Finder when Apple said it could not be done. The entire company was essentially based on their ability to make a better user experience through a tighter integration with your files then was technically allowed at the time. I'm not saying you have to find that acceptable but it is what it is and its the reason why millions of people have heard of Dropbox and proclaim its joys.

Anyway both things you mention are bugs even if you find them frustrating. The original poster was having issue with the option to turn off the Finder integration but the option was put there so you can control it. The only reason you can't access files with more than fifteen in a folder is clearly due to a bug in the beta.

If you want to say that a company the size of Dropbox should never have bugs of that scale even in their beta, then I would point at several of Apple's broken iOS updates (bricking phones, etc.) or Samsung's recent Galaxy Note 7 fiasco as evidence that much larger companies ship software and hardware that isn't in beta and has undergone much more due diligence with catastrophic bugs.

Anyway I don't use Dropbox really but I felt compelled to comment because I couldn't understand how you could say you expect bugs but don't expect the reported bugs in a beta.
I agree mostly, but I think not the usage of this analogy is the real problem in this specific case. I think the usage here is apt as a figure of speech. However, like you already pointed out, the usage of the word terrorist in general is inflationary and has a strong significance from its literal meaning. The notions compete with each other on this level and for some readers reading those words in this context appear to be like a cheap, sort of unfair stake in the battle(!) for attention.
This is a story from 2014 that, in my opinion, doesn't contribute much today. There has been somewhat of a trend to post negative feedback on StackOverflow, but a) most posts are from 2015 and earlier, and b) many commenters on HN, luckily, do demonstrate an ability to focus on positive aspects.

Trolls (like the serial downvoter from this 2014 post) gon' be trolls. Let's not get into more of the conflict and drama, especially where it concerns bygones; SO also brings many, many good things to the Internet.

Marketers often work with middle man companies to create the ads, you'd be surprised I think if you heard how many times the ad owner never even looks at the results of how it looks to customers.

But also lots of the other reasons posted here are very true too.
I don't know, but I wonder if having so many students here on a visa and hoping to immigrate is one of the main factors. (I'm not against immigration, I'm saying the visa can create a nasty power imbalance against the worker.)

After all, a near-steady-state academic job market is not new these last decades, labor markets should equilibrate unless there's some kind of barrier, grad students are heavily foreign-born https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_born_scientists_and_en..., and many of them hope to immigrate (same source). What changes to the rules would improve the bargaining position of both native and foreign-born workers? (At the expense of employers like this one.)

An alternative factor is people gambling they'll make it big, like musicians and athletes. This must be part of it, though professors aren't rock stars or drug dealers.

"this whole situation was nothing more than a hizzy fit by Massimo Banzi whose enormous ego won't allow him to see the forest for the trees"

I don't see it that way, especially when you consider how the whole trademark issue went down. And then refusing to pay royalties and strong arming Arduino suppliers. This was not a simple personal disagreement, but overtly hostile and aggressive business moves which hurt the community.

To your point, Hernando Barragán has legitimate grievances, but that was not the main problem that was resolved.
There are other fairly common examples without that sort of filtering of applicants.

High school academics and athletics are good places to look. Genetics don't explain how a good coach can turn around a school's athletic program to the point of taking a team to the state championship or how a good teacher can take a population of students with a history of failure and dropping out and turn them into students who score 5's on AP calculus exams.
I did mix up consumer and development, but I think the general point still stands.

I don't think so, especially because you are mixing the two. For an employee that costs $6000 a month, $10 per month per employee that increases productivity significantly is a steal.

If you have a household budget where you can spend $100 per month on luxury goods, you might want to forgo the technical advantages of Dropbox over competitors and opt for a competitor that undercuts Dropbox' pricing.

If you don't advertise on your brand keywords, your competitor will. We spend quiet a lot on our brand keywords to avoid competitor siphoning off our brand traffic.
If patent cases were distributed geographically the way other cases are, then in theory the other circuits would see patent cases become a small fraction of their caseload, which reduces the chance of the feedback-loop problem in any specific circuit.

In reality, probably most cases would end up in the Fifth Circuit because that's the one that gets appeals from the Eastern District of Texas, but that's when you can step in and start pushing to avoid the venue-shopping problem that weighs down East Texas with patent cases.
> Compare these:

Bike:Compact:SUV to pelletgun:handgun:rifle

Like I said, a bicycle is very capable of severely injuring or killing a pedestrian, which is why I group it together with automobiles. I'm not familiar with how powerful pellet guns are, so I don't know how that analogy applies. I suspect they are at least capable of causing severe eye injury, and I would encourage the exact same precautionary behavior with pellet guns as with handguns and rifles (trigger discipline, don't point at people, etc.).

I guess I'm a little confused by what point you're trying to make. If your preface was intended to invalidate everything you wrote after it, then it's my mistake for trying to do the same.
Nah, casinos typically seek monopoly status; but, it is easy to run your own games as well.
The competition (Google, Microsoft) can probably only offer intermediate plans because they subsidize cloud drives with other products (Office, ads, etc.) to do a quick land grab. I am pretty sure that it will be hard to provide 1TB storage for $10 per month with heavy redundancy, proper security, support, etc. So they need to get their margin from people two use significantly less than 1TB.

Also, you are not only paying for storage, but also maintenance of network infrastructure and the client/server software.

I have been using Blender on and off since around 1999. I initially struggled and kept my 3ds Max. After the 2.5 update it has been uphill since then. I now use it as my primary 3d application. (I am mainly an animator but do everything else.)

It's interface, once understood is blazing fast to me. Yes it has caveats. So does every other big 3d package. I prefer some of the ways that Maya does things, and other times the way Blender does things. (I will never go back to the crashing fits of 3ds max, so much lost work.) But in the end it's the same as all the other tools. You just need to keep at it and it will become second nature.

The UI idea of no overlapping windows is probably my favorite feature of Blender's GUI. The ability to split windows and swap them to ANY part of Blender allows you to set it up exactly how you want, plus you can save your workspaces. Set it up once and forget it.

I can agree that some common commands have obscure shortcuts, but EVERYTHING is customizable. I do mean everything. (Side note, not everything is customizable in Python. :*( But most things are.) I have my own tool panel for all of my animation tools, I have custom shortcuts that overwrite some shortcuts that I never use. In the end I'm faster because of it's UI. Most of all I feel like I have a custom studio proprietary software because of how customizable it is, with just a tiny bit of Python knowledge. I don't claim to be a good programmer, but if you can write some html, you can customize Blender till you get what you want. Heck you can even make Popups/overlapping windows with 1 hotkey + mouse gesture.

I may be an advocate of Blender, but I have used just about all 3d packages and can gladly say that I'm happy with my experiences with Blender. (Since 2.5)
My big problem with OneDrive is that it complains about some of my filenames and won't sync them until I change them to meet their requirements. So, I'm only using their free plan until that changes. I only have a few things there right now.
You're right: in a sense, "everything you don't like is a bug". But it still seems important to distinguish "they broke the entire permission model, where I can no longer trust the sandbox boundaries" and "I'm locked out of crucial parts of my system" from "gosh, this is slower/more confusing than I might like".

I'm not sure the beta testers understood they were giving up that level of control by installing Dropbox's new software. The post's author certainly didn't.

True, Dropbox got away with grabbing permissions that apps shouldn't have, and then getting away with it. But it's still IMHO a bit more than a bug to take this attitude of "let's take whatever we can! It's Easier To Ask For Forgiveness..."
If not Dropbox, what solution are others turning to?

I mostly use Resilio Sync besides Dropbox. It works really great: fast syncing, nice user interface, etc. What keeps me from fully switching is that I hit some nasty bugs in the past (e.g. all folders suddenly getting disconnected, etc.).

I recently signed up for Sync.com, due to their prioritisation of security features and they seem like a good company.

I also tried sync.com recently. Unfortunately, the client did not look very native on macOS (poking around revealed a lot of .exe files, so I guess they are using Mono). Besides that sync was quite slow compared to Dropbox.
