This is basically the same idea I had and was about to execute except that the Facebook live API is total garbage and doesn't do what they say it'll do. My idea was to be able to pay strangers 2 stream from a given location for you over Facebook live.

In order to get it working all I needed to live if you had to do was to notify the request or that the except I have started string. But even though they're webhooks API claims that it will watch and respond to the live API Edge, it doesn't. Anyways it's not like the idea was without problems. A marketing person I was talking with ad brought up some fairly, shall we say, creepy use cases that I was not totally comfortable with. So it's not like I didn't have reservations about the idea. I think ultimately it will be borne out that a service like this will exist and probably will work.
The benefits to French GDP are not mainly from the tickets, but from the tourism-related revenue (hotel stays, restaurants, flights, &c).

This is what I do not understand. If you are so troubled by Hilary, then make a stand against her. If you think Trump is worse (I do) then vote against him in a way that counts; vote for Hilary. This is not an election to sit on the sidelines. Make a choice that matters.
This is not really directed at you per say, but to Americans who could vote and are expressing this "do not vote/ vote third party" sentiment. I can only guess that they are Trump supporters hoping a three way split helps them.
I read this with interest as I live on the edge of a rural town where I am building a business that spurs the use of tech and net in rural areas of my 3 state region. We have fiber access but lag in net commerce skills and tech hubs. I was at the PO recently. Mail here is delivered direct to farms but townies must go to the PO. I was told by the PO Master that any large volume mailings would require the sender to drive some 25 miles to the next PO as she could not handle themm She was annoyed that I had received 7 Amazon boxes. They had filled up the small space in her office and I had to cone get them immedistely. This caused me to begin thinking of the clash between growing rural commerce and an unexpected pest..the Post Office! Amazon may provide a partial solution but still pondering how to completely solve.

I have just launched a free Bootstrap theme specifically designed for Startups, small businesses & SaaS applications called StartKit.

It is responsive, fully-AJAX (with smooth page transitions) and has 25+ pages - pretty much everything you need to launch your startup/product website.

You can use the free version for your personal/commercial projects without any attribution. If you want to customize this template, you can take a look at the Premium version ($15) which will give you access to the following -

- Complete, well-organized & modular SCSS code base

- Nunjucks based templating (no need to copy changes across multiple HTML files)

- Modern tooling & workflow (automatically concatenate and minify CSS, JS, HTML + Live preview of your changes)

- Pre-built integrations with Ruby on Rails and Node.js

Again, you do not need to pay for this at all if you don't need the above features. Go ahead, download it for free and use it in your projects!

Also, Gumroad makes it necessary to give an email address before downloading. If you don't want that, you can download the release from my Github repo - https://github.com/authentic-pixels/startkit

Let me know if you guys find it useful!
I've looked into pen testing but felt it was way too much work for little pay, unless you get lucky and are very talented (i.e. already do it full time). I've never considered general testing, which sounds right up my alley. I'll check out your sites. Thanks.

Now I'm not sure whether I'm being too pessimistic or just if we're really very poor in here. hahaha

Actually, doctors usually make a lot of money (at least US$70k/year) here in Brazil if compared to other careers but, unfortunately, it doesn't seems to be the same for speech therapists (most of them won't make more than US$15k/year).

I really like your price anchoring and completely agree with you but, at the same time, I'm also afraid to scare my audience. hahahah

As soon as I have any results about this thing, I'm gonna blog about it and share here!

Thank you very, very much for you help and attention, saluki!
Sure, but where do you draw the line? And how to you prevent politicization? The tit-for-tat with India in the parent is a prime example of who blanket immunity is (probably) required. If a diplomat steps way out of line, you just escort them to the airport and ship them home.

To be fair, and that's not something I'm inclined to often with Thatcher, the two wars were much clearer cut cases than adventures since.

Falklands - British Territory had been invaded at gunpoint. Several histories have commented that in making the Task Force decision the day after invasion, British lives were a key factor. They also commented that she made a point of listening to all views, and continued to do so in the War Cabinet.

Gulf - Kuwait had been invaded at gunpoint, Saddam was setting fire to every oil field he could find, and a large coalition being assembled. she'd resigned before action started, so the war itself was under Major. As was Bosnia.

There's been several commentaries that the successful military operations, and the associated public popularity of a clean, won, war, heavily influenced Blair's adventures. He wanted to be a popular, and successful, war leader and saw the poll advantages. So she was perhaps some influence on Blair buggering up the next 15 years. The Iraq War was plain stupid.

She stayed as PM far too long, and had dozens of other issues mind you. Not least, the poll tax.

I suspect that sex and much personality is irrelevant to running a country, it's the nature of the position that shapes the personality. You can have policy and ideology differences, but if events need a fast or firm response that's what you get. At ministeries there's more room for individual differences.
Does anyone else think the only reason Obama did this is to help preserve US influence in how Saudi Arabia prosecutes the Yemen war/disaster (with US weapons and intelligence)?
I live in Sunset Park, Brooklyn next to the D train (20-30 mins to Manhattan) and I've made $80-95k and live quite comfortably, so if I make it over six figures I'll be more than fine. It's fairly cheap in terms of rent and groceries and I'm near all the fun stuff in Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn. It's not the prettiest part of New York, though, but I like it here.

I don't know what the salary/cost ratio is, but I find it a non-issue. That said, I am 22 and have no children. I agree with another commenter here to said it depends on your lifestyle and hobbies.
When that somebody earns 10k more, he'll pay 3948 CHF of taxes on those 10k => 39.48% marginal tax rate.

Jupyter and matplotlib aren't designed to actually do any calculation (they are just for communicating results) so it doesn't make sense for them to be written in C. Pandas has a ton of pure Python code, but if you dig through the layers of abstraction, all of the core algorithms are implemented in cython or make calls to numpy (which is calling C code).

Bottom line, when you're using an established Python scientific computing library to do numerical calculations, you're calling C (or maybe Fortran) routines.

It's always a bit frustrating to read people say that FP doesn't really have design patterns. Most of the OOP design patterns usually don't apply, but there are definitely design patterns.

The most universal one in functional programming is modelling mutating state. This is solved by placing the state in some container, and then building functions that take a state, and then return an updated state (maybe with a value). You can then build your program by chaining these state modifiers.

So instead of doing

stack = [1, 2, 3]
def pop_stack():
return stack.pop()

final_value = pop_stack()
# stack = [1, 2]

you do

initial_stack = [3]
def pop(s):
return (s[-1], s[:-1])

popped_value, final_stack = pop(initial_stack)
# final_stack = [1, 2]
# initial_stack = [1, 2, 3]

You can then write programs like the following:

def push(s, val):
return ((), s + [val])

def add(s):
x, s1 = pop(s)
y, s2 = pop(s1)
return push(s2, x+y)

This seems sillier in python, but is essential to doing "real work" in immutable languages. Languages like Haskell offer syntactic tools to make the chaining be more natural, in particular.
That's crazy when you can buy a working commodore or whatever for peanuts.
Thats interesting. Would you recommend any learning material for the fraud/anamoly detection using deep learning? Any available datasets one can play with?
Yes, but this counter-argument assumes the two things (pot and murder) are equally bad, or at least, assumes both are bad.

Which is the whole point of the inquiry, we can't start taking it for granted -- whereas for murder, it's a pretty safe bet by now, 3 millennia plus into written human history.
>There is right and wrong, and that is more important than respect for other cultures.

Well you should examine more deeply your concept of "respect", "right" and "wrong".

America for instance punishes bigamy; when I am in America I respect the law. The vast majority of people in other parts of the world frown upon homosexuality and lesbianism. Don't try to bully a path to my accepting your point of view.
I am not making a moral judgement in my argument; what I am simply saying is that Western standards of morality are not the world's standards. Respect other people

These issues have been extensively discussed on other fora. No need to revisit them here. I come to HN for tech discussions.
USB passthrough, good stuff. This is starting to sound very usable for everyday use.
"Last time I checked, Google search had 98% market share in Germany, Android had 78% market share worldwide. I don't see how you can talk about decentralisation given dominance like that."

They're not legislated as the Official Search Engine of the EU. Microsoft too once had 98% market share. As did IBM.

Also, think of China, where Google has no market share. Baidu will grow and bide its time.

"But if one is present, I don't see why handing the power to a government that is (in theory) regularly elected and bound to basic rules of conduct and transparency is worse than handing the same power to a private entity which is bound to nothing except the expectation to grow and benefit their share holders."

If you want to entrench the western world to assume Google is a permanent fixture, you write laws and regulations that make that assumption and turn it into a publicly transparent utility. This is how Theodore Vail turned AT&T into a monopoly for nearly 80 years in the USA. It wasn't necessarily "bad", at least for the first 50 years, it consolidated and standardized service, and provided transparency. But AT&T eventually turned against us by blocking future competition, and it took 15 years of fights to break it up. Plus its "transparency" also developed the presumption of letting the government have access to its data carte blanche to spy on its citizens. Personally, I'd rather not have an organization possibly run by Donald Trump know too much about me.

We could also break them up, or put anti-trust fetters on them, but that requires serious scrutiny before doing, as it might lead to massively unintended consequences.

"Until facebook decides to shut down this api - which is at their sole discretion."

Unlikely, given that API is the only reason anyone pays them money.
this "greedy" perspective is growing more prevalent and tiresome on HN. i would speculate increase is due to increase in younger users not in the real world and international users with different perspective on economics/competition.i'm sure this will get downvoted
Drugs are still illegal and dealers and traffickers are still put in prison. People as user are brought to specific court called "Discussion Panels." Repeated users are given various forms of treatment. Recreation users can also have community service and fines.

Never work in USA though since the Police work with the Healthcare system and so if a offender stops going to treatment at their doctor's office the office calls the Police and the Police give notice to the user. They also give clean needles (could happen in certain states) and crack pipes (never).

There is definitly something there that could help in US but I can't imagine in my lifetime anything even close to this happening across the country. Personally I think we do focus on users more then dealers for police action and I wish we could get to a point where we can stop the neighborhood dealers working in almost every neighborhood in my city.
About time. Just do as Google/Facebook do:

var _script = document.createElement('script');

_script.src = '//blablabla.bla/bla.js';

/* _script.async = '' */

(document.body || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0])
.appendChild(_script);

You could append to the head instead (a la Google Analytics universal snippet) with the async attribute set to '' or 'async' or true or !0 or whatever you fancy.

Works for CSS too, though it'd be better to append your link element to the head despite what Google says.

Handy for asynchronously loading fonts without link rel="preload" which is poorly supported.

You could also do this with a single style element in the body containing your @font-face, but that's a crap idea if you want to use Google Fonts, for instance.

Obviously with CSS, it's worth including a regular link element in a noscript in the head.

There's a liquor store in Washington that was still using C128s for their POS system as recently as a year or so back. They had a couple of spares stashed on the top shelf.
If you are from the EU then you could currently use your right to a resident permit based on right to travel and probably transition to a B based on self-employment before your time was up. But as noted in the article, you could run into trouble since the vote indicated quotas that would somehow reduce residents in that group, while the treaties don't allow such a control. So some kind of odd technicality could develop.

If you are German then no one should have told you there's no possibility of freelancing, but it might make more sense to first take on enough Swiss customers freelancing from Germany, or as a commuter to Basel, etc. I would just recommend being conservative about maintaining a reasonable/stable salary sourced from Switzerland when renewing a residence permit.

If you really mean contractor gigs from abroad, everyone I met doing that actually works permanently for a placement agency, and most of them are not very nice. IMO it is just as easy (or hard) to find a job directly and better.
Yeah, that's completely ridiculous.

I'm currently working with a very (very) large UK-based retailer, with various outlets globally, and I can tell you from first hand experience that their selection process is ruthless. There are no, or at least very few, lamers in the tech team.

And yet, when you look at the systems, and the way things are built, some of it just seems crazy. Only it's not, and for many reasons, of which here are only a couple:

- The business has grown and evolved over time - with significant restructuring occurring either gradually, or more quickly and in a more intentionally managed way; systems have grown and evolved with it, often organically (which is something I see at every company I've worked with).

- Legacy systems that make it really hard to change things, and migrate to newer and better ways of doing things because they're still in production and depended upon by a host of other systems and services.

- The degree of interconnectedness between systems and services is high across the board; this isn't a reflection of bad design, so much as a reflection of the complexity of the business.

In any large organisation these kinds of things are apparent. I would imagine that in a large organisation that has become large very quickly, like Uber, if anything the problems would be magnified.

To say that they have poor engineers is therefore very unfair: these are people who would have needed to ship RIGHT NOW on a regular basis in order to facilitate the growth of the business. That's going to lead to technical compromises along the way, and there's little to be done to avoid it. There's also a difference between being aware of a problem and having time, or it being a priority, to fix it (e.g., iterating and retrieving).
I'm not sure what the alternative is, or what even the problem is? Buying/trading/gifting/sharing shit makes the world go 'round.

That's mostly because those "free drug" zones where zones where people could do the existing, crappy, and still illegal to sell drugs.

For heroin at least, when it's pure and in controlled doses (such that one would get if it was legally prescribed from the state) there are few adverse effects, and nothing of the kind of dire side-effects we see in people using the crappy, mixed, stuff sold in the streets.
Anything with critical timing that runs over a parallel port can be very tricky to get working in a VM. It means running a realtime OS on top of a non-realtime OS, with some abstraction layers added. A C64 is very deterministic in comparison.
Getting the hardware access to work properly (especially for systems as old as this, where I wouldn't be surprised if they do port timings by counting cycles) in a VM would be difficult. Not unsolvable, but for the engineering effort you can buy a lot of old machines as spares. (Or an FPGA-based C64 clone or something)
And I'm sure gay rights advocates in the US appreciated whatever support they got from abroad to get those laws changed.
You probably have very short memory, since when iphone 1 came out, everybody was shocked from how much better it was above anything else, and how different and better the whole experience was. Touch screen, gyroscope, sleek design compared to pen-based ridiculous slow boxy windows CE machines.

I am far from Apple fan boy and never actually owned any of their products, but boy they really brought mobile revolution to this world. It took competition many years to catch up with that, with great help of Google and their Android. Main reason why their share price skyrocketed during that time.

Good that you mention the blowing up of wedding parties by US drones - because by the same law that allows Americans to sue the Saudi's, any victim can now sue the US for damages because of these (often quite uncontrolled) drone attacks.

And not only future drone attacks - also any victim of US armed forces since 2001, as the law goes back in time. So: you got hurt by an American in the past 15 years? Feel free to sue the US...
If you're referring to the current "state of emergency" (état d'urgence) it has been extended multiple times already since nov '15, and allows warrantless searches (perquisition administrative).

You can still do all of those things you're talking about. In most cases you don't even need jQuery anymore and can just use browser APIs.

Why do you argue about something that clearly doesn't interest you? From a so-called professional: It's perfectly fine to continue doing websites the way you do if that works for you and your client. End of story.

Everything else that confuses you is just the world of software getting bigger, Javascript being used in different places, people trying out things and promoting them, good stuff, bad stuff, you know – like the real world. Imagine knowing every aspect (political, economical, social) of a larger city and you would go crazy as well. Breathe and relax.
A "senior" is a someone who provides about 10X in value and earns about 2X in salary :)

More seriously, except for very big and very hierarchical orgs where tenure is overly important, people will tend to give you the senior title when your work is indispensable. To be indispensable you don't need to know by heart this technology or the other - you need to identify what are the things that bring the most value and work hard at delivering them.
It definitely helps, traskjd! You really got me thinking by mentioning the effort necessary to provide support. Initially I thought that the whole service is kind of self-explanatory but we're receiving a flood of questions about the product without even have launched it yet.

Your help was very important. Thank you very, very much! :-D
Because doing all of that while the current system is still working is much easier than trying to do it after the old system has failed.
