In most places it's not a question of throughput, it's a question of allowing those that are really in a hurry to go faster, so it's not like societal normals should change due to this study conclusions.

Have any of the phones actually exploded as in gone bang and ejected stuff outwards quickly. All the examples I've seen seem to have overheated and caught fire. I'm guessing exploded just sounds more dramatic in reporting?
Actually if you gave people acomfortable centralized tool to admit and withhold data and rights to entitys by groups across all devices.. Decentralization would be there
My point with the "but" was that the reason why lawyers advise this is not because police are trying to harm you. It's because in general, people are very bad at law and providing testimony. So maybe I should've clarified that -- the police are not at fault for doubting flawed testimony.

To be fair, police do engage in manipulative tactics in questioning, but that's kinda their job. The job of the person being interrogated is to ask for your lawyer and say nothing else.
That only happens in very specific places at very specific times.
I worked for online advertising platform for a while and I must say it's difficult here to decide who to trust. In case of Google I would way G, but with Facebook... who knows.

It is simply incredible what scammers do to get the money from advertisers (except delivering any value, that is) and what lengths they will go to to get "their" money. Of course G and FB can't reveal their countermeasures, so we must trust them blindly... But I believe Google has no problem distinguishing between legitimate ad shows/clicks (not that I approve of this invasion of privacy, but that's the way it is).

I do understand the risk publishers are taking (it might be someone else making fraudulent clicks which could get them banned), but I don't think there is a better way.

There's no need to jailbreak anything. The code for the client is open source; you merely have to remove the code that obeys the remote request to delete, and rebuild and reinstall.
Honestly, I'm not sure why they went for that style. With the sheer distaste people had for soviet style architecture after '89, they could have picked a number of far better choices than they did. It may have been a cost-cutting option, but iirc the project went way over-budget anyway.
It looked at the original schedule for the UHK and some of the recent updates. It looks like they are a little more than a few months late? I wish them all the best but I don't think they are going to be around long enough to deliver on the "add ons," let alone the long run.

I thought the UHK had a nonstandard keycaps or two?
In China, we have using part of yarn for long, installation speed can be boosted with https://github.com/cnpm .
Doesn't downsampling have the affect of preventing the use of more popular stego apps? Makes me wonder if there's something hidden in 25519. According to recent publications, it's easy to create backdoored primes fashioned to simplify search methods. Although those were for SNFS and DH, there are likely applications for searching the ECDH space.
The Effective Founder – How to Set Up Your Daily Ritual
Same here, I got my CHIP in January from the Kickstarter. However, my VGA adapter that was supposed to arrive in March didn't get here until June, long after I'd lost interest in the platform. Honestly, the RPi3 is a better deal overall, if you consider the value of the respective communities and much broader range of operating system support on the Pi.

I will say this: I wish there was something like the Pocket CHIP for the Pi, without having to build your own from the board up.
That's been a long-standing beef of mine for well over a decade. There are several apparent sources of this.

The GNU project deprecates man in favour of info. This is a category error for numerous reasons. The good news is that the documentation still exists, man can be configured to fall back to 'pinfo' or similar, and projects (Debian are particularly good about this) can schlep the Info format into a manpage.

There's an argument in favour of info: it was a hypertext document format which is, arguably, more powerful than man. On the other hand, it has a format-specific reader (info), there's a far more dominant hypertext document format (HTML), and there are utilities to provide manpages in HTML format and over a local HTML server (dwww:https://packages.debian.org/stable/doc/dwww). GNU should have bailed on this decades ago.

Several projects, notably GNOME (a GNU project) and many Red Hat utilities, lack good / updated / any manpages. This is particularly frustrating. KDE similarly fails frequently to provide manpages.

Again, Debian frequently will create and provide manpages, but they will frequently run behind package development, so new features aren't clearly documented.

Increasingly, standalone packages (say, imagemagick) don't fully document themselves in manpages. Worse are vendor utilities which lack any manpage, a useful --help or -? -h page, or anything else vaguely resembling sane practices.

This is entirely inexcuseable.
Edward Snowden, Bruce Schneier, Matt Green and a few more. I think it's secure because it's been audited, because I trust the experts who say that it is secure, because of http://support.whispersystems.org/hc/en-us/articles/21247776... and because of https://whispersystems.org/bigbrother/
The more people willing to walk the lower that % becomes.

You could probably sway a lot more people to walk instead of stand by pointing out (truthfully) that it's an easy habit to get into to promote fitness.

It would be a good use for spare advertising space not being used to encourage tourists to go see Wicked or Mamma Mia.
I'm sure one day we'll be able to discuss Dwarf Planets without getting weepy eyed for Pluto, right?
It was not a mistake, and it was not america-specific. The "clears its orbit" criterion is exceedingly difficult to measure (it was evidently very hard to apply within the solar system; it's going to be impossible to apply outside it) and leads to absurdities (the same body may or may not be a planet depending on where it happpens to be). The distinction between bodies in hydrostatic equilibrium and smaller bodies is clear, natural and valuable; the distinction between bodies that have cleared their orbit and bodies that have not is none of those things.
Multi-story buildings are harder to design than one-level projects, it doesn't mean there's inherent problem in them. You just have to follow the books and do the math.

Condensation, airflow and thermal exchange issues are dealt with in any construction engineering curriculum, there are ready solutions to most configurations. If you don't follow them the issue is not with flat roof but with your lack of professionalism: moving condensation to the attic isn't a solution (especially since so many upgrade them to inhabited lofts anyway).
Uncovering the OpenWhisk magic: How serverless platforms really work
I get that passing around `locals()` or `globals()` in some IDE isn't a big deal, but I wish the article would mention there's nothing special about the `env` param it expects. AFAIK, you can pass it a dict as to avoid unwanted side-effects.

The docstring for `sqldf` says "This function is meant for backward compatibility only. New users are encouraged to use the PandaSQL class". So I'm not sure why they'd advocate its use, especially if you're going to create a wrapper function anyway.
My point is that if the party calls itself the socialist party then clearly there isn't a big problem with the term "socialist".
Collecting translation keys during TypeScript build
Not quite, because this is based on an actual real-life test.

If people are currently leaving a single spare step when standing, but the people walking have to leave more than one spare step (or because there aren't so many, more than one step is left) then there's spare capacity that's not being used.

NIST has too much influence from the NSA. There needs to be a better standards equivalent where the US doesn't wield so much influence in subverting security protocols. It may be a pipedream considering every Western country wants to be part of the five eyes program.

edit: The most democratic and open platform in the world was made by developers from all across the world vs US made operating systems like Windows and Apple which were basically trojan horses. We need an equivalent for security protocols, and protocols in general.

We can't let US stazi entrenched Silicon Valley and their faux "Startup Scene" destroy the internet as rapidly as they are today.

You could code up something in the deploy hook to select the master node (mostly the first instance in the layer) to run migrations and you could disable the "Run Migrations" when you deploy. I do this for the Rails app in my company.
Its funny about paying for a site. The last site I paid for was a porn site in my 30's.

They provided exactly what I needed, at the time. They didn't irritate me 99c introductory trials.

I was around when everything was free. I wonder if that is my hesitation to pay, I'm cheap, or the content is just not compelling enough?

If I wasen't so prudish, lazy I'd code a WallStreet/Homeclips site? It would have to be done just right.

(I have gotten to used to not putting spaces between words. It used to be a pet peeve, now it's just looks normal.)
WRT NYC, isn't there also that it's one of the very few (if not the only) 24/7 metro system?

London's Night Tube is a very recent thing (August 2016) and only covers a few lines, Madrid Metro closes at 0130 and reopens at 0600, Paris Metro closes at 0115 and reopens at 0530 (with exceptions: 5 lines are open all night on new year's eve and 2 festivals, and since 2007 it closes at 0215 on fridays, saturdays and holiday eves)
Shouldn't the "verbose" option take care of the presence of the status or progress messages? Also, arguably, the error and warning messages are status messages too, so I would say all the status messages, regardless of gravity, belong to the same channel.

One thing which always bugs me about OSX vms is there is still no way of running OpenGL or Metal applications on them. Not even qemu-system-ppc emulates a suitable GPU, even though there are a bunch of emulators for 7th-generation game consoles which have come quite far in emulating gpus with similar style architectures which could probably be adapted.
Quantum Suicide and Quantum Immortality
There'a a on/off switch to share contacts under Wire Settings/Options and it's off by default at installation, (it was at the end of August when I started using the service).

Don't know though if the app asked for permission to access contacts like it should, since I don't have any device with M.

This is from the Privacy whitepaper how they manage the data shared [1] :

> Address books are uploaded to backend servers if users grant client applications
access to their contacts. Each address book entry is first normalized, i.e. phone
numbers are ensured to be in E.164 form. Entries are then hashed (using SHA-
256) and base-64 encoded before being transmitted to the server.
No other information, such as names, addresses, birthdates, notes, etc. are
extracted from the address books.
Address books are checked for changes every 24h by clients and changes are
uploaded again.
Uploaded address books are used to match users on Wire, i.e. to suggest new
contacts and to automatically create connections between users (see section 2.2).
The matching algorithm creates connections between users who have each others
e-mail address or phone number in their address book.

20 years ago, there's less surface area for which you could be grieved on by a bigger corporation.

Insert any other tech company here. Facebook, Twitter, Apple (Radar!)... they only react upon massive public outrage.

Actual user support staffed with humans instead of autobots costs insane amounts of money, and this is why the mentioned companies don't have user support, with an exception for paid add-ons (e.g. ads, Google Apps for Enterprise, Apple Care).
Done right, aging concrete can be very beautiful. It blends with nature, slowly taking up color and texture of natural rock. Unfortunately, the "doing it right" has to happen at the drawing board, where people tend to picture pristine surfaces of perfectly even coloring. There, they are easily tempted to go for those minimalist shapes that exaggerate shinyness when new (that's why people go for that look) as much as raggedness when not. The difference between patina and grit happens before building even starts.

If I had a few man-decades of developer time to burn, without any chance of ever seeing adequate return, my dream software project would be a tool that analyzes architectural model data, simulates aging and creates an "aging forecast" version ready for rendering. This could help architects and clients to avoid badly aging designs if they choose to factor that into their decisions. Or at least it could generally promote the idea that sustainable is not just about day to day energy use but also about long term attractivity .
Can you please add "Import starred repos" from Github, Gitlab and BitBucket?
Having all those under the same roof will be an enormous help!

Also, will it make the full READMEs of the projects searchable? Astral (the one from the comment above) seems to search only in projects' taglines, which is definitely not enough for me...
If a company stonewalls your apparently legal claim for remuneration of services or delivery of product then you should at the very least turn to a collection agency. This case will probably require a lawyer.
This is neat, but why use this over just using Cassandra-based DBs?

That reminds me way too much of my undergrad alma mater, Cleveland State University. Back when I went it was almost entirely made up of drab (maybe Soviet inspired?) concrete block buildings like this from the 60s-70s. We called it "concrete state university". It reflected the depressed look of the rest of early 2000s downtown Cleveland pretty well. A majority commuter school at the time, little attention was paid to campus life.

On the plus side, the campus and the whole area actually looks a lot nicer now. Also, after it's all said and done I have to say I actually got a pretty decent education too (at the very least it was a great deal for the small state school tuition price). Maybe aesthetics aren't everything.

No idea why the hivemind is rejecting this, but yes, absolutely.

Defaults should be sane, non-destructive, intuitive, and suit the common case. People don't change defaults, and actions which can be destructive should not be easy to invoke accidentally. Even (or especially) on a CLI.
Educational App Development Best Practices
One advantage the teaching profession has is that new opportunities are being created daily.
For me, I often can't articles (and subtitles) because my company Web proxy filters the actual article. I can see the discussion in HN. This title is of the highly annoying "why this and that, click me" variety which is generally a turn-off.

Therefore I really appreciate the above TL;DR because it gives me the hint that the actual article is interesting and I should read it when I get to another computer that does not have this filtering proxy.

Ask HN: What bank accepts founders abroad?
I'm living outside the US and I've recently raised $5k from local entrepreneurs and need to get set up. Opening the Deleware C-corp looks fairly painless through Clerky, but they don't offer any guidance on which banks will allow business accounts to be opened with a foreign address.

After a fair amount of searching, the answer seems to be none (except possibly Stripe Atlas, which is limited to those who already have connections). What's the best way to go here? I definitely want to be able to raise funds from US investors down the road.

In this case would it be better to incorporate in another place, such as Hong Kong or BVI?
Ask HN: How do you keep notes?
I've been a paying user of EverNote and OneNote in the past, but the apps on my phone are rather lacklustre at this point.

OrgMode is great when I'm at a desk, but I want something I can use "anywhere".

So... What do you use?

> If they can’t fork it while still using your servers, and you refuse to allow federation, how the FUCK is it open in any way?

What makes you think you have a right to demand federation? Run your own server if you don't like how they're doing it. You have access to the source under a Free Software license https://github.com/WhisperSystems but of course you don't want to actually do any work, you want to complain about what other people do because they don't do it in the exact way you want it done for free.

From the foot of the elevator people walking will reach the top faster. However, navigating from the back of the queue at peak time to the start of the escalator is often time consuming.

It would be interesting what the times were between those navigating the queue and walking up vs during the trial where everyone stands but the queue to the escalator is shorter.
SHA-1 is fine in this context. SHA-1 isn't as collision-resistant as it was once thought to be, but that's not a property that you care about for this use-case.

The same principle applies to checksums that are sometimes published for binaries - many still use MD5 or SHA-1 - and that's fine too, as (second) preimage resistance is what counts here, rather than collision-resistance.

Previously I used actual notebooks for a couple of years, with a dash of Bullet Journalism. But since almost all my work happens on a computer and I also manage people, I couldn't make it as comprehensive and always with me as digital note-keeping can be. I also jot random personal thoughts on Apple Notes.

I don't understand why you'd use flat roofs in canada, doesn't it rain and snow a ton? That sounds like recipe for leaking and collapsing roofs compared to angled ones.

Incidentally, mono-pitched roofs seem oddly rare, people seem to go straight from flat to gabled or hipped, even in relatively temperate places where snow doesn't pile up much and a relatively shallow slope would be more than enough to handle rain and snow.

They could use the colours to indicate walking vs standing preference but instead chose to indicate gender for seemingly no reason.

There should be three classes:

1. Wants to stand
2. Wants to walk
3. Wants to stand but will walk if lack of standing space.

These might be in their simulation but it's not well explained.

But the simulation isn't the main point, there was a real life study!
