You may want to read 'Thermal Physics' by Kittel and Kromer. It is the BIBLE of statistical mechanics and should straighten you out on why a statistical law is just as good as all others. And yes, it goes into great detail about when and how the statistical laws 'emerge', so to speak. Physicists have been 'worried' about what you mention in you comment for about a century and the science is very mature these days. Used copies start at ~$25.

The problem with this view is that there are instances where the 'canonical' pronunciation in one group is the 'noncanonical' pronunciation in another, and vice versa. For example, in British English, 'r' deletion is part of the 'canonical' pronunciation and it's only nonstandard dialects that are rhotic. In American English it's the other way round. So in general, it can't be that features of the pronunciation itself somehow determine whether or not it is canonical.

I doubt you really know what accent you spoke with when you were three or four. As to why you picked up an accent somewhere close to SAE, it's most likely for reasons of prestige.
Circles | London, UK (No remote) | Ruby/Swift/Java/JavaScript/React Native

Circles was founded in 2016 with the belief that when it comes to supporting each other, social networks are the wrong model. Our idea is that an inner circle of trusted people, empowered with tools that enable them to be more effective and connected to the individual’s needs is the best model for long term care. Our first focus is on issues related to mental health.

The full job specs are at https://circles.workable.com, but in brief we're looking for:

- A senior backend engineer to work on our (currently) Rails driven API system, along with the associated operations.

- A senior mobile engineer to work on our React Native front-ends, which also have native code components

- Less senior mobile engineers to work on the React Native/native code front end systems.

As we're small, everyone will probably do a bit of everything, including helping to build our "prompting engine": a real time, privacy centric data analytics platform to give insights to your trusted circle members about your state.

We're a new company, funded, and pretty tech agnostic. We don't believe in below market salaries for startups, so you'll be paid at market rate and still have options for equity. We're also trying to create an environment in line with our product direction: a supportive group of peers trying to do good work without damaging ourselves or others. We do remote and on-site work, but can't really support a totally remote employee, so you'll need to be available in London a few times a week. Alas, we also can't sponsor visas.

If anyone would like more information than the job specs provide, please just ping me directly on adam@circles.care.

The price of providing a basic level of security should be priced into the product!

The question is whether that is all that would be priced in, or whether the insurance industry, given a rich new feeding ground, would charge huge rates for many types of device in case of catastrophic failure.

My car insurance probably costs me several times the value of my car each year, because I am required to have cover for third party losses as well. That remains true even though I've been driving for a long time and never made a claim so far, because in the nature of insurance, they are guarding against the relatively rare possibility of a relatively high payout.

What happens when your $100 office software package now has mandatory insurance in case each installed instance costs the business $200 in lost revenues from downtime after a breach, or $2,000 in average compensation when a vulnerability leads to personal data being illegally disclosed?

> the military is primarily poor and filled with minorities

I haven't found the numbers for economic background prior to joining, but with respect to minorities. The US military is around 75% white. They are underrepresented versus the population as a whole, but still make up a significant chunk of the military.

https://mic.com/articles/59699/one-stat-about-the-u-s-milita...

At least circa 2008, people from lower class (financial) backgrounds were underrepresented versus their middle class and upper class peers in the US military.

====

This doesn't mean that minorities and the poor aren't targeted for enlistment. They almost certainly are, but by the raw numbers, they aren't filling the military.

The hate on cursive seems a peculiar American thing - as is the "it's slower to write" mantra (when you write it correctly your pen moves less vertically - the slower axis - so it's actually significantly faster)

> USB-C is near non-existant

True, though with it being featured in the Google Pixel, I'm certain it'll become more common.
It doesn't seem far-fetched to stumble across this "by accident".

Imagine you're working in IT or InfoSec for the Russian (or any other state/national) government. You see attacks coming in from IP addresses in another country -- maybe they were successful and you're investigating a compromised host. You find these IP addresses in the logs, do some investigating and find the host that attacked you is running a vulnerable version of sendmail (for example). So you compromise the host as well and, once you get in, you find the previously released exploits and such sitting in a user's home directory.

I don't think this scenario is that outlandish.

Well, apart from the whole rest of the internet which is also free, public, and global. And email is only "free" because it's given away by ISPs and advertising companies.

People have been hoping for encrypted email for decades. If it doesn't happen now, when "email server compromise" is a theme of the presidential contest, it's not going to happen. The key management is just too inconvenient.
Heads-up: those Greenhouse short-links don't seem to redirect correctly.

I had to follow the "launching" link to remind myself about what it is. I suppose I assumed such an index already existed but I can't really think of one that has this breadth that focuses on software development libraries.

Semi-related: "AD Management Tool" appears prominently on https://libraries.io/. On first glance it looks like a header and it's describing something for managing advertisements. On second glance it's a header and it's describing the software packages below which relate to Active Directory. On third glance, it's not a header at all -- it's an advertisement for Active Directory software.

If I'm not the only one who found this distracting, I'd recommend a clearer visual indicator for the ads or perhaps a more prominent header text for "by language" / "by license" /etc.
I guess if everyone was taught shorthand like everyone is taught regular writing that might work out.

However, in the current world if you want other people to read your writing either good cursive or good print are your best bets.

If you just want to write for yourself, do whatever you want.
About 1.4 megabytes on average is not that much.

Even so, this one wasn't a particularly sophisticated attack. Even if we could weed out this particular type, many a DoS rely on amplification or asymmetrical computational cost with respect to the size of the request. So if we concluded that 1.4 MB/s of HTTP or DNS or plain TCP were a lot and managed to block these senders, it would be far from a universal solution against DDoS originating from domestic hosts. And there's reason to believe we'll see much larger botnets unless manufacturers of IoT devices start taking security seriously. So tomorrow 0.14 MB/s per home could be plenty.

What cost would this blocking incur? How often would I have to call my ISP because they blocked perfectly legitimate traffic? Unfortunately maybe not that often, because after the first few calls I'd probably figure that they are too big to give a shit about my problems.

I'd theorize that "hearts and minds" along with "brand awareness" as just as big and useful to them as the money itself. More awareness brings in more users, brings in more donors.

Plus, some people just won't give without getting. Which is why PBS continues to do donation drives where they give away Rick Steves books (or whatever it is these days).
Between the wires
You've never been involved in any form of activism, I take it? It's no cult; people who want to work for a political campaign are activists like any other. They are devoted to a cause they believe in, and will happily make personal sacrifices to strengthen that cause.

The activist spirit is alive and well in campaign employees.

Maybe you've volunteered for a charity? Volunteerism is the other half of the equation. Campaign employees are part activist, part "paid volunteer". Anyone who's volunteered for their kids' school, for a neighborhood charity, or for some other cause knows the positive, almost euphoric feeling that comes from volunteering for something that is meaningful to you.

In a time where most of us go to sleep feeling existential dread because we can't do anything to stop the various runaway trains we see in our society/planet/etc, volunteering can provide a feeling that you're actually doing something to make a difference.

That spirit, too, is alive and well in campaign employees.
That used to happen to me weekly or so, but then I switched the majority of my browser workload from Chrome to Safari, and I haven't had that issue in the several months since.

I don't use a lot of tools that embed Chromium, though, so I'm not entirely sure just a browser switch would keep you from hitting memory pressure warnings.
I believe that's only true for small-screen devices or "Windows 10 With Bing" (where the search engine is pre-chosen)

This one has left me with a particularly bad impression since they specifically say they take referrals from HN very seriously.

I don't recall being asked if I found out about them from Hacker News (I did), but they did ask me to provide links to LinkedIn, Twitter, StackOverflow, and GitLab/GitHub profiles.

Here's the grand sum of response so far, I think I've waited as long as is reasonable to share. It's been well over a month. No other contact.

OP here. Sciter looks cool, nice site too. Currently Minoca has support for a basic framebuffer, which we use to display our green terminal. Our biggest obstacle to having a GUI now is the lack of accelerated graphics drivers. We'd like to add them, but it will be a very large undertaking and probably require cooperation from one of the major graphics vendors.
Nope. I'm imagining that NHSTA keeps people safe, and I don't want a car anywhere near me that's controlled by something that the NHSTA hasn't had a chance to even evaluate.
Don't think too hard about it. Just pick a framework/library and make something with it. Once you've learned a few picking up new ones is easy because you'll be familiar with most of the different concepts.

" In the process, he and others created a free operating system, GNU"

He never created Linux or the 'GNU' operating system. Linux uses the GPL/GNU license.

He created https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html

"That’s a nonfree operating system. It tramples your freedom just by being there.” Stallman explains that the operating system he helped birth can be swapped in. “I hope you will escape from Apple’s power.”

I suppose it really depends on your perspective. I just bought a brand-new TV. I don't really need to have the schematics to enjoy it.

The other side is that Stallman has tried to make open source software a law. This would mean that a software developer would be forced, by law, to release their source code.

This is considered freedom?

His ideals would make us all slaves to the big corporations, because they can make money on support, while this doesn't really scale well for a small company or single person.

I love open source, but it has slowly reduced the need to hire expensive developers and many companies can now hire students to hack on open source for much less. Why bother paying a software engineer when the engineers give out their work for free? You can just as easily pay a software mechanic and still get the job done.

Stallman doesn't see or care about this because he is insulated from it. He has a cushy job doing speaking engagements and research for various education institutions. He can pick his nose and eat his hair and still make $250,000+/year.

Money is the only true way to have true freedom, because it allows you to make your own decisions and it reduces the control others have over you. This is the case now and probably will be as long as humans are alive.

We should be empowering developers to make more money and have more control rather than less. This way, they can still make a good living with software and if they choose, release open source software.

The entire idea of the GPL also doesn't really make sense. If a company decides to use your software and not release changes, the original software is still out there for everyone to use and the original owner still has claim to it. The only thing you won't get is the changes, which aren't really yours in the first place.

I'm not voting for him, but Trump is just a troll. He just says shit that turns the media's crank. He's not really a businessman anymore; he's a lazy social media figure. He won't build one mile of his famous wall, he won't do anything to reverse offshoring of jobs, and he isn't going to start stupid wars for no reason. Clinton has already done that last one...

>If you've ever used Remote Desktop / VNC, you know that it just doesn't work

I wrote a DOS VNC client in 1999 for my ThinkPad 720 (to access my Sun workstation at work from home), so my mileage varies. ;-)

We had lower screen resolutions and color depths then, but also slower connections. I've used VNC quite a bit over the years but admittedly, for working from home I used ssh (because it was sufficient and I use vi). FWIW, practicality greatly depends on your type of work. Typing text in an IDE and running the occasional debug session should be no problem due to the way screen updates are transmitted, anything graphics-heavy will be frustrating.

> But other browsers don't.

Microsoft seems to disagree without explicitly stating it, and Google didn't explicitly state this either.

Edit with relevant PR-speak from Microsoft:
"We recommend customers use Windows 10 and the Microsoft Edge browser for the best protection."

It would be interesting to see if Project Zero tested for this in Edge, but since they gave no indication that other browser are vulnerable or not, it's fair to assume they haven't. Heh.
