You're off track. A server sends your browser what it would like you to display. It's not required to be displayed in any sense. Why is not displaying all of it stealing / not ethical? The way advertising is typically constructed gives all of the power to the client.

Not sure why you're getting threats over email for this comment though. I love HN for its comments but sometimes discourse can break down hard for issues people are passionated about.

Greyhound Package Express rates can be good for odd packages (large/heavy/irregular). They don't take it right to your door but that can be worth it depending on the savings.

I used to hear of it being used a lot to ship R/C airplanes cross country. You could disassemble them into a pair of wing assemblies and a fuselage and box them up. UPS/Fedex rates would suck because of the dimensional weight but Greyhound would usually beat them.
You sell the house. You have invested your money well, your property has increased in value. Congratulations! Now pay a bit of taxes to support the people who have not been as fortunate and stop complaining. Your property taxes are actually lower than in other countries by a margin, how can they be a problem, then? Quite frankly I think the notion of actually having to pay taxes has not been there for decades and it just feels tough to get over it once other people stop financig your lifestyle.
> learning how to shift gears on a bicycle.

I presume you're quoting from the caption:

> Jerome Libecki spent more than 300 miles of the bike leg in the wrong gear. He had slipped into the Quintuple Anvil field despite having never competed in a triathlon before.

I am confident that the athlete knew how to shift gears on a bicycle. Check his bio here: https://www.crowdrise.com/WineWomenShoes/fundraiser/jerrylib.... It describes an experienced athlete, and it's entirely possible that in the many running races and biking races, he'd never done a tri.

However, a tri bike or road bike does not have an indication of what gear you're in. You check it at the start and then mentally keep track, or look down between your legs or around your hips - and it's difficult on a modern 10-speed cassette to look behind you and know if you're in 5 or 6.

You're shifting based on perceived effort, which is obviously distorted after a few hours on the bike. So after the race you might look at your cadence and speed records from your bike computer and realize you went faster or slower than you wanted to.

Vahana Project - A³ by Airbus Group | Santa Clara, CA | ONSITE | Full-Time

https://vahana.aero

At Vahana, we are passionate about personal flight. The aircraft we’re building doesn’t need a runway, is self-piloted, and can automatically detect and avoid obstacles and other aircraft. Designed to carry a single passenger or cargo, we’re aiming to make it the first certified passenger aircraft without a pilot. We aim to fly a full-size prototype before the end of 2017, and to have a productizable demonstrator by 2020.

We seek to help enable truly vertical cities by opening up urban airways in a predictable and controlled manner. We believe that full automation will allow us to achieve higher safety by minimizing human error. Our aircraft will follow predetermined flight paths, with only minor deviations if obstacle avoidance is needed. We believe this mode of operation will be compatible with future airspace management systems and will allow more aircraft to share the sky. Full automation also enables us to make our aircraft as small and light as possible, and will significantly reduce manufacturing costs.

We’re always looking for talent and for development partners. If you’d like to be part of the Vahana team, we want to hear from you. Please look at our current openings and reach out to us if you feel you can contribute!

Well, that's not the point. The point is they didn't acknowledge that I submitted anything at all, and didn't acknowledge me after a follow up email a couple weeks later. That is always annoying, but in especially poor taste when you ask the applicant to complete a coding challenge before submission.
The base model 13-inch Macbook Pro was not retina before last week. It was also significantly thicker than the other models, because it had a chassis that was released in 2012. See here: http://www.macrumors.com/2016/10/27/apple-discontinues-non-r...

How do you know you're "delivering 20% of the revenue"?

Edit: Removing my example as it apparently misrepresents my intent. The gist is I think doing 20% of the work is not the same as delivering 20% of the revenue.
No, a non-retina model was sold until last week. It was an older model originally released in 2012. It was different from the retina models it was sold alongside. See here: http://www.macrumors.com/2016/10/27/apple-discontinues-non-r...
I don't know man, I've been more-or-less following this discussion of the last several days, and keep seeing all this "nothing compares to MacOS because... Woo". I work on a fucking mac all day, every day, impatiently waiting to get back home to my Ubuntu desktop. Oh yes, I dislike laptops with their small screens and toy keyboards. I carry this macbook from work back and forth, only to plug it into real peripherals when I actually have to use it. Because no, Photoshop on a coffee shop is not realistic, it's dumb. Also this "Nothing works right, on any of them." Funny, that is what I think of MacOS. I'll restrain from ranting. In short, I absolutely, completely, strongly, disagree with you here.

Take Control of Your Efficiency: Collaborative Performance Management Model
Here is how it happens:

You're applying at a bunch of places, some of them being internal referrals from friends of yours. After a while you notice that all of your job applications are fizzling out, so, frustrated, you start asking for feedback (especially since a friend of yours kept getting rejected for talking about SOA instead of RESTful APIs).

The answers you get aren't helpful, like "we just felt that you weren't a good fit", and in a couple of cases somewhat antagonistic.

Eventually, you hear through the grapevine that you might want to check the references you're using.

So, you get your Significant Other to pose as an employer checking your employment history and references, while they record the calls with an app.

Guess what? One of your references is actually trashing you, saying you were unreliable and a troublemaker. It also turns out that another reference just blows everyone off and never returns calls.

Ta-da! You have a recorded evidence. BIG PROBLEM for the reference that bad-mouthed you.
And it's probably one of the nicer options if/when you finally "get it". But the learning curve is tough.
Another fix is to let you set the value yourself, and treat it as a standing offer to sell (at some premium, maybe.)

If anyone wants to offer me a book deal and reserve, I'd be happy to write it.

The thing I always think when I read articles like this (and this one from the NY Times about Senators & Email [1]) is that they don't use email because they don't have to. They have jobs that come with many assistants & aides who can communicate electornically on their behalf. They started working in these positions before email became the norm for business/professional communication and happen to have had careers that span both eras.

I wonder if these people are the last (or some of the last) people that don't use email to communicate.

Depends on who is asking, what they ask, and for what reason. Though it is generally avoided.

If it is a simple reference check (never minding why a terminating company would be listed as a ref...) then as little information as possible would be given; possibly as small as "so and so no longer works here and that is the limit of what we can disclose with them" in order to avoid a bad reference lawsuit.

If it is an employment verification firm, depending on how rigorous the verification, it may come up by direct questioning and this should be expected by all parties.

Some companies do have strict policies about not disclosing some/all details. I am aware of a few firms, that wether good or bad, have policies against providing any reference, similarly, to avoid any potential lawsuit.

Now, when it comes to unemployment, if an ex-employee files a claim, the gloves will very likely come off. If the company can avoid a claim being made against their account, that is the difference of a lot of money on a recurring basis. So in this sense, reason very much matters.
Mmm, disagree. It's not really the interchange format that's the only useful part of GRPC. (Though protobuf is pretty standardized these days). This was just the context of "I'm a big org standardizing on microservice tradeoffs", so maybe slightly out-of-context
From RFC 7159 section 6. Numbers:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#section-6

Note that when such software is used, numbers that are integers and
are in the range [-(2**53)+1, (2**53)-1] are interoperable in the
sense that implementations will agree exactly on their numeric
values.

You can't depend on interoperable support for 64-bit integers in JSON. Furthermore many JSON libraries convert all numbers to floats, so this problem doesn't affect only JavaScript.

TJSON requires conforming parsers to support the full 64-bit signed and unsigned ranges. This will involve using bignums in JavaScript.

That and to your last point is what I was thinking about. It's harder to "opt out" of a subsistence farming existence than it is to opt out of a society where you have access to time- & resource-saving technology that enables you to multiply your abilities, as well as basic necessities at a price that allows you to have disposable income.

That's one of the gripes I have about some of the faux-sustainability crowd: it's not sustainable if it's predicated on a USD$100,000+ income.

It's useful on slower connections, if you're trying to locate and move to an area of a video that's already loaded, without aimlessly clicking around.

It also sort of acts as a bookmark, to know what you've watched. Sometimes I'll open a long video (1 hour or more), and skip around watching a few parts for 30 seconds here and there. I then realize I want to return to one of the parts I skimmed over, but I have no idea where it was in the timeline. I'll drag the slider around trying to find it again, and sometimes I succeed, and sometimes I give up. With the buffered parts highlighted, I'd at least have a better idea where it was located (or better yet, the timeline could highlight the sections I've viewed).

As a freelancer, I've found lots of work through HN. My most recent posts [0] have gotten a decent amount of attention and I usually get emails for a few days after the posting. I find that most people from HN are my best clients, but a few are people who I have absolutely no interest working for (never reply to emails, low pay, confusing project specifications.) They rarely lie in the middle.

I'd bet that freelancers (or people hiring freelancers) are way more successful than people looking for full-time jobs, because the process of hiring an employee usually involves a lot more people than just one "normal person" typing up a comment on HN - a handful of people will work together with budgeting, interviewing, salary discussions, HR, etc to get a person hired as opposed to a freelancer who can be hired by just one person who says "sounds good, here's the project, let's get started."

History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. Germany was in the same position wrt to the League of Nations after WWI.
Sure, I always pay everybody the same (for a given position). I.e. paying for the job done, not for the needs. Else what do you take into account? "This person has no kids, so needs less cash." "This person has a vacation house; clearly need to cover those expenses". I always prefer local so if I'm hiring remote it's because of some skill I can't find locally. I want them to be a happy, productive employee, not to feel that they are getting a lesser deal.

I also have a "no salary negotiation" rule since I do a lot of negotiating, while most people don't. If I'm hiring two Scala developers, why should one get paid more because they possess better negotiating skills when what I actually need from both of them is good Scala programming skills?

(Not hiring at the moment -- at new company none of us are drawing any pay yet).
Blender's Video Sequence Editor just has a couple of quirks to get past. It is not deeply mysterious.

Like: the VSE viewer and the Image viewer are similar but distinct; that can be confusing. And OpenGL acceleration on a Scene strip shows a 3D model rendition that is not (in general) the same as the rendered output of the Scene.

If you want to get fancy with the compositor + VSE, again there are just a couple of quirks but the learning curve is merely steep, not long.

Mirai is actually based on earlier code: N-World from Nichimen, which was a port of S-Graphics of Symbolics, which was written in the early 1980s.

> SBCL kind of got better over the years though.

If you look at CL Windows applications, they are either written in a custom Common Lisp implementation or Allegro CL / LispWorks.

Free software / open source Lisp has never supported Windows very well. Most of the time the Lisp was running without much integration and very little support for the Microsoft eco-system. Companies tried to target the market of Windows users. Open source / free software Lisp developers were never particular interested in Windows for their own use

> The Ugly: Really expensive, even in the context of past MacBook Pros.

I find this conclusion, and the article's discussion of Apple's current laptop lineup, to be the most interesting part of the article.

In comparison to the 2015 13" MacBook pro, you get some minor hardware updates, a bit of increased thinness, some changes to ports, and the honor of paying an extra $200.

It doesn't seem like a very good value, especially when it's the bottom of the lineup distinguished more by what's missing (touch bar, touchID and extra ports) than what it adds to last year's model.

I was hoping that the marketplace would punish them, but if Schiller's comments about the new MacBook Pro getting more orders than any previous pro model are accurate, it looks like I'm in the minority.

No, that's the silly all-or-nothing thinking I'm talking about. What if you only want to go further once a year?

What's the cost of a one-time 30m wait to refuel instead of a 5m wait? I think it'd be far less than the benefit of no refueling wait the other 364 days of the year.

Also, the cost isn't infinite. If you were, for instance, totally unable to drive the electric car to the ski hill for your vacation you could rent another car, so worst-case you're out like $200 which is far less than you'd save in fuel the rest of the year.

Most people simply get stuck on the costs instead of being able to amortize them across the whole period and weigh them against the benefits.
They have trade secrets and IP to hide, yes.
No hate, they just are marketed falsely and in all honesty they aren't any more secure than any other device as long as you wipe it.

You can install coreboot on other machines, there will still be closed source microcode in the CPU and closed firmware in some of the controllers.

And the hardware is simply out of date, you can get a dell xps 13 with more modern hardware for the same price and in essence the same level of assureance.

It is your job to look through resume's. This is what you are paid to do. You claim to be a hiring manager. It is not my responsibility to convince you to do the job you are paid to do. My resume contains all the information you need to make the determination of whether I am qualified for the job, including "I love writing web apps in Ruby on Rails with a ClojureScript front end" adds nothing to the application but does waste my time.

Of course, and tptacek might even be one of them. But most people don't do this. And if you don't do it yourself, if you rely on someone else who says that they did it, how do you know you can trust them?

This rabbit hole is, of course, as deep as you care to dig it. It's not possible to function without trusting someone. All I'm saying is that if you choose to go down this particular branch of the rabbit hole, it is possible to learn the essentials more expeditiously than reading a 40 page document.

> Designing your own CSPRNG doesn't help you

That depends on what kind of back door it is. If it's just /dev/urandom which is compromised then rolling your own CSPRNG does help. And a backdoored /dev/urandom is not a completely unreasonable threat model. It's a lot easier to hide a backdoor in a CSPRNG than in just about any other part of the system because the I/O behavior of a compromised CSPRNG can be indistinguishable from a reliable one.

But yes, if you're approaching this level of paranoia then switching to an open-source OS is probably more bang for the buck. But even there, are you sure that the code for /dev/urandom has been properly audited?
