If I could find a zero day exploit that would give me root, that might get me in, but network accesses are logged too, so even if I found a back door way into the server, I'd still be discovered "Johnny, someone altered binaries on our server yesterday, there were no SSH logins, but your VPN session hit our application server port at the exact time the application daemon crashed. Explain?"

Even though I have server admin rights, I can't touch the network so I can't open an unaudited path to the server.

It's not that the server security will keep me from accessing the data, but it will keep me from accessing it without being discovered.
That is already made clear in a separate bullet point though.
You know, artificial general intelligence or superintelligence, might not happen for the time being being, but narrow intelligence that is good enough and cost efficient enough at specific tasks like driving vehicles, doing different tasks at factories, even waging war... will transform our society. That I think would be more in the scope of this century.

Thank you so much for sharing this. If more people would share then maybe it would help solve the root problem.

It's too easy for many high-performing people to display an image that it's all cake, no stress - even when they're secretly being crushed. Then, other high-performing people see them and think, 'that person does so much and barely breaks a sweat - I've got to pick up my game.' And, then it spreads and spreads until we are all secretly playing the game and slowly killing ourselves.

Not too long ago, I walked away from a potentially large payout. It sucks to think about it. But, I had enough money in the bank, and it just was not worth it. I was the company's hero, the core of the technology, and I was leading many of my younger employees along my same self-destructive path. On the surface I looked invincible and had answers for everyone and could take on every task, but on lunch breaks I was doing shots of whiskey in my car.
Well id need to see the schemes rules but certainly in the UK you can take a pension now and work - or you can defer it and take it later.

Typically you would defer and work at the new job 90% of the people who built out the uk's mobile network did this.

They took redundancy from the GPO /BT got a huge pay off (3 years salary tax free) and 6 extra years on the pension and then worked for the competition.

And a pension is deferred pay not some grace and favour hand out from a feudal lord. And for some DB schemas when you hit the max years it makes sense to take redundancy as you cant build up any more pension.
"Back when I had an ISDN connection, I'd see 5-10 attempts a day (and I would sometimes send emails to the abuse@ address for that IP range). Now I see 5-10 a second and it's pointless to try and stop them at the source."

There is nothing inherently wrong with port scanning and it should not, by default, be considered "abuse".
The difference is, if you announced those plans on a city street, you'd only face government reaction if a citizen reported you or a police officer overhead.

That's different from the federal government having power to eavesdrop on all street corners at all times. The fears over these powers aren't based in a desire to keep the government in the dark, they're a reaction to the massive scope, and the notion that everyone is suspicious all the time.
Did they have the STE title or SDET? When this happened it wasnt like there was 100% automation in place so developers, architects, SDETs, had to pick up the slack. I personally got stuck verifying bug fixes for our components (kernel stuff and supporting user mode services) in various languages I don't speak (particularly fun for left to right languages) just to get the bug count down. That team had something like 20 STEs that got the axe post beta 2.
Great post and I agree with everything, but:

As always, carefully vet someone else's experience against your own reality:

>If you’re not raising money you will accomplish very
>little for your business by meeting with VCs and
>networking.

Unless you are an enterprise software start-up, in which case your first customers may come via introductions by coffee-drinking VCs who may realize that you're solving a real problem for their portfolio companies. [1]

>Building your product and finding product market fit
>is going to yield much higher dividends for your

Unless you're networking with your target audience, in which case going out and talking to real people with real problems actually directly contributes to you finding the product market fit faster.

[1] Good VCs have great reputations for a reason.
If you mean the dictionary definition:

> Those members of a group or political party holding extreme views

Then that's simply a subjective term, as is "extreme". By that definition "fringe" expresses nothing more than your opinion.

Thus, when you say Trump and Lenin were fringe, all you've done is clarify where you stand politically.

My senior year of university I suddenly became unable to click a mouse. Perfectly fine before, and I loved using mice for normal work and things like First Person Shooters.

But suddenly the curling "clicking" movement of my index finger stared causing extreme pain. Still does, to this day, even making that movement in the air. Typing is fine for some reason.

> Scalping is illegal

Source?

From a cursory search, I found absolutely no mention of such a law, and the strictest I found is that, in certain states, it's illegal to resell tickets at the venue site. Not only would it be pretty much impossible to enforce such a law, but it goes against other laws like the first sale doctrine mentioned above.

Introducing the AWS Serverless Application Model
Sarno's program completely cured my RSI. My highly-regarded surgeon was ready to operate for cubital tunnel, which had been getting progressively worse for about 2 years. I was to the point that I would feel pain all the time while typing, and had some tingling/numbness. I was concerned about surgery, so I decided to try some alternatives first, and the stuff from Sarno was amazing. It was scary as hell to just tell myself that the pain wasn't real, and that I wasn't hurting myself, but I figured it was worth a shot.

It's been 10 years since then. I now have zero problems, no special exercises, no ergonomic keyboards, chairs, desks, etc. I also regularly play ARPGs like Diablo 3 and Path of Exile, which make most people with RSI cringe.

I agree that Sarno's framework is not perfect. I'm not sure I buy his explanations as to why it works, but it does work. The key is that there is a huge mental component to RSI (or, at least, to some cases of RSI) that most people don't acknowledge. The monitoring/worrying about damaging yourself does something to those muscles/tendons that builds up over time.

I find Thunderbird unusable unless I turn off indexing. Once I do that I find it compares well to alternatives.

I have standardised on a 13" screen and I remove as much of the Thunderbird interface as I can. I can conceive of a UX redesign making it more useful but it wouldn't look like anything in this article. I don't care how pretty it looks. It is a list of folders, emails and messages not a painting.
I found the README confusing. Basically it appears to compile C -> ELVM IR all in C++ constexpr. Doing this requires preprocessing the input file into a string inside the C++ source file. The result is that ELVM IR is embedded as a string inside the output binary, and running the output binary does nothing but dump this compile-time-computed string.

The issue is those 50,000 descriptions aren't labeled good/bad. Someone had to pick a subset of them and label them, so my guess is they did this for maybe 100 or 200 descriptions.
Hello World!!
This project should not be regarded as Hospital Information System (HIS) but as app for saving some clinical data.
This is not execlusive for GNU Health but for many other open source projects claiming that they provide HIS functionalities. Using the app demo I can confirm at least the following:
-missing the pharmacy module and instead provides very basic stock moves

-missing template designers for patient casesheet,lab and imaging investigations! How can we expect a Dentist or an ENT doctor to use the casesheet and what if a hospital has its own templates!
-missing workflow management for doctor orders,lab and imaging specialities

-missing Doctor module and provides some of its functions over unrelated screens

-missing the billing module and instead a simple and manual interface to ERP invoicing. This is crucial in any HIS in private and also public hospitals and why building upon an ERP framework if not utilising its accounting features!

-missing the inpatient (ward) module-the only thing i found is a (Hospitalised) check box!

-missing the contract management module(services,insurances,pricelists,..)

-missing the Equipment Interfacing for Lab and PACS interface for imaging(in fact lab and imaging modules are missing only investigation orders and results entry found)

-too many reports!!

-missing CSSD,Diet & Nutrition,Food & Baverages,Transfusion Medicine(Blood Bank),Quality Management,Procedure Orders modules.

Well done HIS
That's a cool idea. I was also looking into usb powered switches so everything can run off the hub
I had the problem despite of arm rests. Keeping the hands in a lifted position was the problem, moreover even a slightly bad pose caused my hands to bend downwards to reach the keys, which is also suboptimal. Armrests themselves are not optimal for supporting the arm because the surface area is small and hence the pressure is high.

Cursing Linked to Higher F*#@%$* Intelligence
The quotation in the article is cherry-picked to make Sanders look good. With little research you can see he’s been repeating this claim non-stop without any such disclaimers.

The following is a direct quote from The Nation interview linked in the very same Politifact article:

> ﻿ Do you know what real African-American youth unemployment is? It’s over 50 percent.

The fact is both Trump and Sanders were factually wrong. Their usage of the term “unemployment” was at best misleading.

Politifact is however willing to massage Sen. Sander’s statement to make it only “mostly true,” instead of false, which is a clear example of bias.

There are numerous examples of Politifact asserting editorial control in this manner, skewing the results on the Mostly-True–Mostly-False range of the “truthometer.”
n=50000 of tabular data is a good sample size, and results will likely have a low standard error assuming no systemic bias. (Although it's not "big" data)

n=50000 of text data is different, since there will be less repetition of contextual structures and words (particularly with proper nouns). The fact that the dataset only uses "hundreds" as mentioned in the original post is interesting.

At this point, is there any parser out there that could deal with C++'s grammar?

What you're suggesting is tantamount to throwing out C++'s current syntax, which will never happen, or taking the existing parser and making it even more complicated so that it supports extensions.
I can confirm Czech Republic and Spain as both being pretty straightforward and simple, only because I've lived both places and known people who have gone through the processes. I'd be surprised if it wasn't doable and relatively easy in the majority of EU countries. You'll just have to google the country you're interested in along with "business license" or something similar.

Getting a work visa or immigrating into the United States is so difficult that I think it's hard for Americans to imagine, but it's actually pretty easy to work legally in the EU if you're able to get a decent job (and by that I mean that McDonald's isn't going to be hiring foreign employees and sponsoring visas) or obtain a business license (usually some fee for the application, proof you can perform the job you say you're going to do, and the onus of administrative duties related to taxes, healthcare, etc).

Plus, you can get creative. I was issued a 5 year "EU family member visa" just for having a Czech girlfriend. This gave me all the rights of movement and work that EU citizens enjoy.
A general way to dismiss a lot of this is with the comment "People who got everything wrong about Trump prior to X now tell us...."

A good comment I recently came across is:

Rather, it is the views of those who have to maintain respectability in order to maintain their position that have changed. It is no longer permitted for them to even think the thoughts required to understand what just happened. The Overton Window has become the Overton Bubble.

From https://sydneytrads.com/2016/11/18/alistair-hermann/ which looks at it from the Australian viewpoint (i.e. I can't follow a lot of it ^_^ and haven't really tried to digest it yet).
I guess this is a conspiracy theory...

But I've actually come around to the belief that Snowden has always worked for the CIA. This was a turf war job by the CIA against the NSA that had the bonus effect of striking fear into the world's internet users.

Ed worked for the CIA before NSA and there are some interesting ties between Glen Greenwald and US's sponsored propaganda services.

If you are interested in diving into this pool of mystery, Dave Emory's radio program, this episode for example, is a good start.

Another Sarno cure checking in. I had debilitating "RSI" for two years. Read The Mindbody Connection by Sarno and within just a few days I was feeling much better. Within a couple of weeks I was virtually back to normal. It's been almost two years now since my recovery and I am doing great. I would highly recommend Dr. Sarno's books to anyone with "RSI".
I am thinking of taking one too. Not too sure on what to do with the time though.

I wanna do something focused for that time than a bunch of random small things.

Do you have any recommendations? A nice 4month program would be super nice.

Does your ISP allow you to get your own modem?

I did this recently at home (saves money after owning it for a year, as it's "paid off" then in monthly modem rental fees), and although I have problems with the level of control my ISP has over the modem (there's no configurations or login, you activate it on their network and they control it fully), it's now just a "dumb modem" and does nothing else.
Facebook Must Really Suck At Machine Learning
The user base of Hacker News is strongly informed by, and representative of, a very specific political strain, so it's not terribly surprising to see an article like this, which questions the foundation and value of one of that strain's core tenets, get flagged to oblivion by users.

I don't think it would be reasonable to assume the mods behave in a similar fashion. Were that the case, I can't imagine I, for example, would still be able to post here at all, let alone to do so and be seen by people who don't have showdead turned on in their profiles - I spent all yesterday arguing against gay marriage! I've run into ideologically driven suppression of discourse enough places on the Internet to recognize its absence when I see it.

Instead, I see a genuine commitment on the part of the moderation team to free and reasoned discussion, even when it tends in directions which I can't help but imagine make them uncomfortable. That's something which, especially in times like these, can't be too highly regarded, and it is in large part why I continue to consider participation on Hacker News a worthwhile use of my time.
How One Girl Lost 200lbs in One Year
None. Had it he would have. He didn't because had he lost he'd be fighting on - but as president elect he has to clean house, so expect to see many if not all suits against him and his entities settled imminently. It'll make him look generous, gracious, glorious, statesmanlike and all that jazz, and will probably buy a number of new supporters. No, now is the time that maximal political capital can be yielded - turn those liabilities into assets before they become toxic. I bet the total cost per "PR point" is less than a conventional advertising/PR campaign.

He's going to be wildly popular - I wouldn't be surprised if his second term sees an 80% majority. Read that however you will.
Tech Infrastructure Vendors Have a Wild Ride Ahead
I'm in full-blown burnout mode right now, but it's more related to dissatisfaction with the work I'm doing. I'm fucking sick and tired of building web apps and I want to work in more interesting/technical topics such as computer vision. But the time investment needed to build the background and experience required to be useful working on those kinds of problems seems impossible to manage while working full-time. I'm really at a loss as for what to do. What's worse is that this longing for more meaningful work has begun morphing into a pretty serious case of depression and is impacting my ability to do my job. Anyone ever found themselves in this kind of a situation? What did you do?

After suffering from a severe RSI, involving wrist pain, numb fingers and months of physical therapy. This is what worked for me:

- If you are in pain, stop what you are doing. Be it working, stretching or exercising.

- Keep your wrists straight using a wrist brace, at day and night, until the pain goes away. There are soft braces specific for night use. One for day use that is not invasive is: https://www.amazon.com/BRACE-RCA-Treatment-Support-Regular/d...

- You can test your wrist posture by putting a pencil on your wrist. Your wrist should be straight. I emphasize this because it's one of the most contributing factors to RSI.

- Therapy alternatives include: physical therapy, medication, acupuncture. I did not try the acupuncture personally. Physical therapy was greatly useful, especially the stretches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAKOpnqvttI

- Use the right keyboard. A short keyboard helps your elbows, a mechanical keyboard helps your fingers. Ergonomic keyboards as well as vertical keyboards did not yield results for me. Even when used under the supervision of an ergonomist.

- Exercise does help. Muscles comes in pairs. Typing makes you contract your muscles more than you extend them, creating a muscle imbalance that contributes to carpal tunnel syndrome. These products help: https://www.amazon.com/PROCIRCLE-Finger-Stretcher-Resistance... , and when you need more: https://www.amazon.com/Strengtheners-rehabilitation-Equipmen...

Finally, see this as an investment. To be injured for life will put your career in jeopardy. Invest in your health.

I've found the "Time Out" mac app helpful to force myself to take breaks and stretch/stand/rest-eyes periodically. I disabled the Skip button recently which has been a bit annoying but valuable.

Also, years ago I started using a trackball mouse instead of a normal mouse (or the laptop trackpad which is the worst for my wrist). It has helped a ton.

"Trump, 70, was accused of conning thousands of students, [...], into paying as much as $35,000 [...]"

Any idea how much money a student on average lost? If that number is close to the 35k, receiving a little less than 5k is an utter travesty.
I started having back issues about five years ago. It got so bad that getting out of bed in the morning was a struggle. I was diagnosed with a herniated disc at L4/L5. I tried chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage therapy to no avail. Then I came across one of Sarno's books. I remembered Howard Stern singing his praises years ago on his show, so I decided to at least give it a shot. I was very skeptical, but within the first twenty pages Sarno had described my situation to a tee. I started following his advice and saw immediate results. I was back to running and doing yoga within a few days and a couple weeks later I was back in the gym doing dead lifts. Aside from an occasional flare up during stressful periods, I haven't had any issues since then.

However, I don't agree with Sarno's view that the mind uses pain as a diversion from psychological or emotional issues. I think it uses to pain as a way to get our attention, to let us know that we need to deal with those underlying issues.
