Not really sure I like that link. He seems to suggest that capacitors store "energy" instead of charge, which is just as ambiguous really. It's not like there is some sort of energy particle either. Of course what's really happening is that you are creating an electric potential between two plates. It's true that the net charge is the same, but you are moving electrons from one plate and forcing them (doing work) into the other. Then when you remove the battery and have an open circuit, the potential remains because they have no way to move back to the other plate until you close the circuit again. Also, I don't think the water analogies work very well because water does not attract other water in any way, whereas in a capacitor, the electrons attraction to the electron holes in the opposing plate is an essential part of how a capacitor works and explains why the distance between the plates and the surface area are important.
No, I'm not going to let you pretend that we are on opposite sides of a "centralize" versus "decentralize" argument. Find someone else to take the "Google should control the web" side, and debate with them. What you're saying here has nothing to do with what I'm saying.
The problem of suicide isn't so much whether killing oneself is "wrong" or not, or the possible impact of someone's death on their social circle, but that it's extremely unlikely that any boundedly rational agent acting under imperfect information can truly commit to an irreversible choice. The "permanent solution to a transient problem" quip is very much true: way too many who wake after a suicide attempt take it as an opportunity to regret what they've done, and try to turn their lifes around.

Meta-meta; almost every time that I get something to the front page some shameless plugs appear; real question, how do you do it? Do you just browse HN and happen to see it or have a notification somehow set up? I would be really interested on seeing/getting notifications related to my projects (not just for shameless plugs, I've given tips that I think are useful for someone starting something similar as I did).

I did roughly the same thing twelve years ago, with even less security built in (hey, I was young(er)):

https://bookmarklets.arantius.com/password+maker+bookmarklet

I did not market it so heavily. It has the same problems, most importantly rotation. As soon as you want to rotate one site's password the only option is to change the "master" password, but now you need to remember which site uses which master password, and your utility is gone. The random site requirements, as mentioned, is also a big deal.

Can't answer whether to learn R or Julia, but for a more general education on Data Science, this book might be a really good fit for you:

In fact, the same is said in Europe about the absolute uselessness of 200 and 500 euro bills. I have only held a 200 euro bill once, and never a 500, but also thanks to the Schengen area it is trivial to (illegally) being insane amounts of money to Switzerland. This is why the EU was pressuring Switzerland to abolish bank secrecy.

There is always going to be some potential for that. "Take a picture of how you voted or I'll beat you" would work fine even with polling places, although it'd be a little trickier.

The system saves a ton of money and time, and we have record numbers of voters in Oregon this year.

Probably quite the opposite. Local internet business will rely on these restrictions to thrive rather than service, quality and features. They'll be shocked big when the market will open for foreign businesses.
IPSec is one. You would burn two IPv4 to enable IPSec between two machines you control. That's a no brainer with IPv6. It is cumbersome and expensive with IPv4.

And given that most datacentres (outside of cloud services) are IPv6 enabled, this makes sense to secure server to server communications.
Not just wrong but practically impossible.
When raw performance is so important you end up implementing the solution on FPGAs. Switch to Julia does not really matter in such cases.

I think when we use the word "embed", we should really "embed". In other words, for a given comment of id ID, it'd be better to get the table row of class 'athing' and id ID.

An important reason to embed is for visual authenticity. A Tweet is embedded with the styling that goes with it because it's recognizable. Similarly, I can see an HN comment with the styling and instantly know it's from HN.

Besides visual authenticity, another reason to embed is for functionality. You can interact with an embedded tweet. For an HN comment, this assumes the reader to have an HN account, which is not as likely as a user having a twitter account, but considering the audience this might be wrong. This is not the problem, though.. The problem is that an HN comment is not a Tweet. It is not a sound-bite and voting on a comment that was taken out of context (which can be a long thread) is simply stupid, or something only a stupid person would do.

The optimist would say: "someone with a Hacker News account isn't stupid enough to do that; they won't use the embedded comment for that". This makes embedding for functionality useless.

The pessimist would say: only stupid people would do that and there are really stupid people who actually would do that, so why include a functionality that only stupid people would use? This also makes embedding for functionality useless.

So I guess we're left with embedding for visual authenticity only. Or taking a screen shot of the element.

Just to add to your comment, the highest denomination note in India is worth just $1.5USD.

According to the Global Findex by the World Bank [1] 47% of the Indian population doesn't have a bank account. And only 22% of the population have debit cards.

I don't know, this seems too extreme to me. Certainly 500 euro notes or 100 dollar bills are very useful in dark markets, but the Rs 1000 note was just worth $15USD. This may end up being just a temporary recall and they will reissue 500/1000 notes in a couple of years.

They missed out on not including Reddit in the social networks. Reddit seemed like meme-central this election for Sanders and Trump.
Also, there is no way for you to verify how many trades the counter-party has entered into. It is exploitable as it stands, and more opportunities would arise if it became popular (for example, the 'safe state' assumption could be invalidated.)

That is totally awesome, I didn't know you could submit it like that, many actions in HN are protected with custom/per session tokens. I wonder if it'd be violating HN's ToS somehow... I contacted them for asking about some white-hat stuff, so I'll ask them again about adding something like that, but my guessing is if it's properly labeled as yours it'll be okay. Did you happen to contact them/find affirmative language anywhere? (you are not my lawyer and whatever you say is not legal advice, don' worry).
I'm pleased to note that I got them all correct.

I've been programming in C since around 1985. I still see people claiming C is a simple language. It is a simple language only in that it has a relatively small number of syntactic constructs and a relatively small standard library. In practice it isn't simple, although it _is_ massively useful and once you've gotten good at it, through years of trial-and-error, not that difficult to get right. It's those years of learning the pitfalls by study and trial-and-error that are hard.
That's not how it works. They are very well capable of choosing something else and we all know it. They may lack the knowledge to do it - but that is fixable, politicians are not.

The problem with backup & restore in Android was that it didn't work reliably. I know first-hand. If the feature isn't there, people won't rely on it, as they may do when it's there but doesn't work.

The thing with locking issues is that Signal issues get so much noise that the content will drown in it. I dislike not being able to add on-topic comments, too, but I understand how they got where they are.

I just had to vote "provisional" myself (Palm Beach County).

I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of fraud reports against the Florida Board of Elections. We registered almost 2 weeks before our Oct 11 deadline, yet neither my wife nor I were in their system - we received no mail or anything from the BoE.

My vote, I'm absolutely certain now, will be thrown in the trash. Even if it isn't, the election will be over by the time it's "counted".

Think I'm simply spreading FUD? Take a look at the 2004 Florida general election... this state's election board is wholly corrupted.
This is also the problem for other projects, the leaders' unwilling to giveup their position even they are inactive for a very long time and just hoping someone could help rescuing the dead horse.

I agree, this is a good first move to get black money that is stored as cash out and taxed. Some forms that still remain are:

* Gold

* Money funneled into "agricultural income" (which is tax free)

* Large properties in metros that are bought and left empty (which raises rates sky-high for ordinary middle class people trying to buy a house there)

However, this move is brilliant in that it removes cash as an intermediary for these transactions, i.e. if a builder is demanding Rs. 50,00,000 for a house "above the table" + Rs. 30,00,000 cash (which he won't declare), then that extra 30,00,000 becomes useless as of 31 Dec.
And increase since when? What's the baseline?

I would expect most of these searches to increase in frequency on election day, even relative to SuperTuesday or 2012.
I can't find the talk that Stefan Karpinski gave where he said this, but it was something like:

Currency conversions are largely irrelevant to most people's daily life. What matters more is how much you get paid, the cost of house, food, and transportation.

There's a lot of social conventions and what not to work out there, but I doubt any of it would be insurmountable. For overnight charging, a cord that you activate with your phone, with the activation locked to one vehicle, solves many of them.

R is great for producing scientific papers, charts, and doing a vast array of "standard" statistical analyses. I have found python to be much nicer because it's more of a "real" programming language, but the numpy/scipy/pandas stack make it very easy to use for data science and financial analysis also.

There's a (very) quick intro here:

Apple Has Gone Dark with the Release of the MacBook Pro
nowadays C/C++ is mostly something for:

* low-level infrastructure like databases

* desktop applications

* some embedded work

The vast majority of startups isn't doing anything like that, then you have to subtract those that do it using other technologies and there is not much left. And in many cases it's going to be part of a role, not a pure C++ position.

Once they grow more and more companies go into low-level things, but for your typical young start-up it's a waste of resources if it isn't part of the core product.
I have always wanted to become a full time wookworker. The problem has mostly been the fact that programming pays much better, especially if I were to start as an apprentice.

"FEARS OF VOTER INTIMIDATION KEEPING PEOPLE FROM THE POLLS

We’ve had a lot of reports of people worried about going to the polls because of threats of voter intimidation. While the fears are real — and we certainly expect to see one-off issues of attempts at intimidating voters (like the Trump supporters will bull horns in West Palm Beach) — there is no evidence to suggest that an organized campaign to intimidate voters is underway.

Building an enterprise UX team: 5 essential personality types
I remember getting an invite at some point late 2014 or early 2015 and doing a few problems but not submitting as I wasn't serious about interviewing. It's nice that you can see if your solutions passed without any requirement to submit your solutions to Google.

By the way — if you go too long without trying one, you get this:

foobar:~/ tedmiston$ request
Requesting challenge...
Your invitation has expired. Search on to try again later.

Edit - Even Google engineers make errors:

foobar:~/ tedmiston$ status
Error(400): Bad request.

I submitted feedback on it. Seems like most commands fail with 400 if your invitation is expired.
For me, it's less a problem with the database and more a problem with the connection.

Not to mention the fact that I am no longer able to seek professional help for suicidal thoughts. Those, they come unbidden, and I will never be able to be honest or open about it again.

With no MicroSoft the PC industry would be as fragmented as it was in the 80s, with many operating systems and single vendor hardware/sw platforms running on different chipsets. We are down to Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS now, on either ARM or x86. Everything else is very minor.

However network effects would have given to another company the position that MicroSoft enjoyed for some 30 years. It could have been a slower growth or a faster downfall, but somebody would have been there. Not Apple because they are interested only in selling their own hardware. Probably some company out of nowhere, not necessarily on a x86 chip. Then everybody would have started building drivers for the OS of that company and Linux and MacOS would be running on the preferred chip of that OS.

Maybe in an alternate reality Visicalc built their own OS to run their spreasheet on a large screen (by the time standards) 8086 computer and replace MSDOS and Microsoft as the OS and sw company of choice. We'd be talking about VisiOffice and Vindows now :-)

My understanding of the case is different that yours. I don't want to get into a political disagreement so I'll leave it at that.

I think it is unfortunate that Hillary made that statement about SCOTUS, but at the same time it is not unprecedented for SCOTUS to reverse itself. Look at Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education. There are many others as well.

Also, it seems disingenuous to call out Hillary for this and not Donald Trump (and many more republicans) who only want to nominate SCOTUS justices who will strike down Roe v. Wade.

> I believe one of VW, Mercedes Benz and BMW will bankrupt in 5-10 years. None of them have taken EV serious yet

Notwithstanding the somewhat muddy relationship between car brands and their business entities (Wikipedia has a helpful reminder that Volkswagen Group owns Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, SEAT, Škoda, Volkswagen marques; motorcycles under the Ducati brand; and commercial vehicles under the marques MAN, Scania, Neoplan and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles), in defense of VW, people are not currently choosing between a Volkswagen and a Model S/X.

You're right about BMW and Mercedes (with the caveat that their parent Daimler AG owns quite a few brands for various submarkets that are unlikely to stop selling all at the same time) competing in luxury space - Tesla vehicles with their (comparable) lack of maintenance and cost of fueling offers a very attractive deal to luxury sedan and luxury SUV submarkets. BMW, MB, Lexus, Inifiniti, Jaguar and Land Rover would be the main brands competing for that submarket.
Honest question - C or C++? I thought the general language suggested was Python+NumPy along with R.

Thanks!

Well, what makes a journalist good at their job is reporting facts and allowing the reader/viewer to understand as much as possible and formulate a decision.

When journalists are bad at their job they make it very easy to arrive at a particular opinion without really having to understand the issue. This too is the point of PR and of moralistic calls to action... to circumvent rational thought and make someone do something (vote a certain way, buy a certain product, hate a group of people, etc).
Employers, like your phone company and gas company, use your SSN to identify you in their databases because it’s a unique number.
