Everything is in general: I might have worked in a pharmacy, but I'm not a pharmacist or a doctor.

But I know a lot of folks will take ibuprofen for 7-10 days at those rates. It is pretty common, and just as common for people to regularly take naproxen a few times a day for chronic pain.

Taking pain killers regularly sounds absurd to you because you don't have that sort of chronic pain. And pain is a funny thing: My mother openly admitted that she would get to a point with migraines where the pain was so bad, the side effects didn't quite seem to matter (She learned to go to the hospital or doctor before then).

More often, however, these pain killers are the very things that makes every day life bearable. Some people it means they can be more active but others it just means they can open doors and grab toilet paper with less pain.

Your method is great for people that have occasional pain or needs: After all, it seems a bit silly to take it for no actual reason. And as far as the folks you know, well, if you are young that is more likely. And if not, it is just something the people you know don't talk about.
Because 802.11 is HARD. The number of companies that build full-featured and modern chips is small, and the barriers to entry are high.

For example, if you want a full-featured chip for building an AP, there's maybe three companies capable of giving you one - Atheros, BCM, and Marvell. And that last only sells to Cisco. So you're stuck between two companies with drivers that are awful in slightly different ways, and only a year into working with one or the other do you discover the firmware bugs.

If you want previous-generation-equivalent chips there are more suppliers available, and some of them probably have decent drivers, but they're uncommon in developed-country markets.
?
Thats a pretty negative/limited view.
Tons of open source projects could benefit from additional roles/resources aside from programmers: project management, graphic design, UI/UX, technical writing, QA engineering.
Additionally, longer-term funding for the main contributors to a project might allow them to elevate a project's status beyond a nights-and-weekends hobby, with likely improvements for code quality/overall quality.
I would argue the opposite. A smaller gov't implies a gov't with less power. Less power means less incentive for lobbyists to influence decisions.
Does that mean VS will support C11 features?
And the 960 Pro is about 10% faster than this SSD.
> So, yeah, go away because that's not contributing to the conversation.

Well, maybe there’s another implication.

Google switching to C# would lead to them neglecting and deprecating the Java ecosystem on Android. That’s gonna be real ugly for app devs, ending up having to rewrite everything.

So, maybe, there is a real contribution in the comment, which you just haven’t seen yet?
Visual Studio "15" = Visual Studio 2017 = VC 15.0
Crystal clear. Why didn't Microsoft bump up VC version to 17 to sort of make VC version follow VS version. Would clear out some confusion going forward.
Send Emails with Rackspace Mailgun Using NativeScript and Angular 2
Works fine for me in the server-side backend apps I've done. Telecom processing, routing/call records. Handled billions of messages a week. Code/debug/etc. on Windows, copy exes to Linux and run it. There's a few discrepancies here and there but overall it was fairly easy.

Um... he's just completed a two day interview over rape allegations and issued statements about it. I doubt that the Ecuadorean embassy, Swedish prosecutors, Assange's legal team and the @Wikileaks Twitter account are working together on this one...
This is a really interesting article. I'm enjoying watching the responses come in.. it appears the only way the poster would be able to choose here is based on who responds first, as there's little qualifying information to make anyone stand out without investing a ton of time researching each lead.

Granted, there hasn't been a lot provided in the request. I just find it fascinating to watch the sales process work out somewhat in the open here.

How would you stand out if you were looking to win this?
"Divided we fall."

And by far, the biggest source of that division has been internal.

If some "nation state" (the catchphrase of the month, apparently) found a crack and applied a bit of leverage -- well, look to yourselves for blame -- and for the solution.

Democrats as well as Republicans. The high side of both parties outsourced, and basically told the dispossessed to "get over it".

Divided we fall.
https://transferwise.com/

I don't know what payers are using but as a payee, I'm pretty happy with transferwise.

Btw, 15-50 bucks is standard for wire transfers. Wire transfers are meant to be used for large amounts of money so those fees are usually considered "nominal".

When a paycheck for 10k comes in i really dont care that someone deducted 15 bucks. Its less than forex.
A one-off hack against old hardware and software that probably cost a ton of money fits with "mostly false" I'd say.

As an American who recently did some driving around the UK: things are different there! The level of attention needed to drive safely in the UK is off the charts compared to the US with all the twisty, narrow roads, one-lane bridges, and limited visibility. I knew that shit was about to get real when I saw my first "Oncoming Traffic in Middle of Road" sign. Touching my phone while driving never entered my mind—that was all outsourced to my wife in the passenger seat.
Here's a link to a real review without the clickbait headline. Or just google for '960 evo review'. All of the results on the front page are better than this article.

>1) The attacks originating from servers owned by Russian companies

This doesn't even hint that there might be Russian involvement. It's utterly irrelevant. Anyone doing something like this will most likely be hosting either in Russia or the Netherlands.

>2) Pseudo-admission/gloating by low-level officials

Low-level officials probably aren't in positions to confirm intelligence operations such as these, and even if they were, such behaviour would hardly be unexpected from an entirely unrelated party.

>3) Wikileaks and Assange's increasingly close relationship with Russia

Would you like to back that up somehow? Not all of us share your security clearance so we can't read the emails between Assange and Putin.

>4) The behavior of the Trump campaign, taking an exceptionally pro-Russian tack. Indeed, the only change they demanded be made to the Republican platform was to take out some anti-Russian commitments.

The pro-Russian tack only stands out if you ignore the rest of their politics... In which case literally anything would stand out, no?

>True, this is all circumstantial

This is all bullshit. There exists significantly better technical evidence of Russian involvement available to the public.
So, where do I get a version fo Visual Studio that’s open source, and works on Linux? And not just the little text editor VS Code, a real IDE?

For most devs, Visual Studio isn’t a realistic option.
New AI Algorithm Taught by Humans Learns Beyond Its Training
You are correct that appeal-to-authority arguments are inherently weak but it doesn't change the fact that his hand-wavy "it's not settled!" argument is even weaker.

To take your remark about doctor's a century earlier, germ theory was met with derision[1] :

> [...] Some doctors, for instance, were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands, feeling that their social status as gentlemen was inconsistent with the idea that their hands could be unclean.

Sometimes prevailing wisdom is discountable but sometimes it's not.

haha was going to say the same thing - kind of a bold title, seeing that Apple has included m.2 ssd's in their laptops now for a year or so, and tons of enthusiasts are already using them.
Which leaked email said that? I didn't see it. I saw the one that cut off Tulsi Gabbard's fundraising for endorsing Bernie Sanders. [1]

I saw the emails between the Clinton campaign and DNC coordinating strategy to "elevate" Donald Trump in a "pied piper" strategy. [2]

It is hard to dismiss that the DNC was a campaign arm of the Clinton campaign. Whether you think that is a big deal or not, the emails do not deserve the dismissive tone you have taken.

The articles establish that the attacks came from Russia. But, I'm also under the impression that Russia is a hot bed for hacks in general, so the assertion that the attacks originated from Russia isn't saying much.

I found the SecureWorks article had excellent detail but even they only had 'moderate confidence' that the attacks were sponsored by the Russian Government.

Regardless, I find it interesting that the rhetoric is that a 'nation state was influencing the election', rather than our own security practices are so weak that our political organizations were infiltrated repeatedly.
Yes, I do think they changed. People come and go and corporate culture changes with them.

> I have lost all trust in them, they have to gain it back and can only prove themselves with actions now

Question: what actual actions could they take that would cause you to change your mind about them?
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I'm not in an way involved with the videos, I just remembered the talk and searched for it for the post. It's just a part of the talks that happened in Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA, November 5-7, 2006. There is more, but it can possibly disappear from the internet in this form if it gets too much attention. Maybe it's better leaving them in the comments.

The ceremony is symbolic, the Iron Ring committee has no real power. There are professional engineering associations with actual power, unrelated to the ring, but software engineers are not usually part of them.

I'm a software dev. with a background in a different engineering discipline and there isn't much reason for me to join an engineering professional association in Canada. Unlike, say, civil, where you have to be licensed to perform some of the duties, nothing in a software engineer position actually requires a license.
The Iron Ring ceremony was one I didn't realize existed until our graduating class of nuclear engineers were told "Oh, by the way, you're all going." This was in The South in the USA.

I love it. I have yet to take the ring off. It's a great way to initiate conversations about ethics and a great way to tangibly emphasize my personal pursuit in being ethical.
How one photographer quit her day job and built a passive income business
hmmm not sure, I'd also like a good resource because mine is not really the "mastering" type resource
I feel you. I'm not a huge fan of the X-T10 if I'm honest (I think it's a decent camera, but not one I would personally get). Fuji is definitely targeting a certain segment and many people may not care for the features that appeal to that segment.

There's something hard to explain about the top X series cameras. In terms of actual "camera stuff", they're comparable to other cameras in their price range for the most part. But there's something transcendent about the products themselves that makes it hard for me to switch. I'll put it this way: I'll take my X100T with me on any trip, no matter how small since it's such a pleasure to use and handle. I wouldn't do that with virtually any other camera. It's definitely a different strokes type of thing, but it's made it so much easier to photograph everyday life and not feel like I'm slogging around a DSLR.
Not only do they not show that, but emails using the official State Department mail servers were in fact hacked by Russia during the same time period. Her mails were very possibly safer on her own server.

Further, Wikileaks didn't leak her State Department emails. The State Department emails we saw were published by the US Government. Wikileaks published hacked emails from the DNC and from John Podesta.
"and lost all of a $110,000 personal loan he’d taken out from PNC Bank."

> do you see the USN giving up its "flagship vessel" without a fight?

No. That's a problem with every change of technological paradigm in military history. Enormous vested interests (companies building ships and components, congresspeople with jobs in their districts, etc.) and people who were born and trained, and are skilled and experienced in the old tech and aren't open to change - like IT companies who can't see the disruption coming. Much of the public will react with outrage; in fact, Congress passed a law setting a minimum number of aircraft carriers.

A general recently said, 'for once, let's make the change before there's a disaster.' We'll see if it's politically possible.

There's a big difference between being a supported first class citizen and having a hacked together ecosystem that Mostly Works™.

After my experience with Mono on past .NET versions, I'm skeptical of any of these "compiles to x" schemes.
First of all, I didn't say anything about what we are "allowed" to discuss here.

I just think we should be honest with ourselves about what we're doing (by "we" I mean America, not HN). I remember what it was like when we were leading up to war with Iraq and all the intimations about Russia of late feel the same way to me. Lots of big accusations that are baseless but sound truthy.

As far as this particular piece of news, I would push back by suggesting that the Democrats blew the election by running a crappy campaign with a charisma-less DC insider that Americans mostly dislike.

Do I then get to accuse the DNC and everyone who pushed for Clinton against her primary opponents of colluding with Russia? I expect not.
Perhaps its evidence that the NSA needs to shift resources from its data collections apparatus to securing our nation's own resources. But, no instead its used as evidence to beat the war drum.
What? Five thirty eight has them at:

HRC: 2,218

BS: 1,833

This includes >700 superdelegates which are not tied to primary contests. Hillary won almost all of these. If this was 100% up to voters (which admittedly is not how this contest works) it would be closer. That said, she certainly influenced those SD to vote for her well in advance.

> and they are genuinely interested in cooperation.

In my opinion, they are not at all interested in cooperation until they port Office and Visual Studio to Linux or open source them.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Still, it'll be a while before they are worth our trust. They fought dirty and hard.
I also think the shift is genuine. The parallels with how IBM evolved from being the Prime Evil in the tech world to a large but relatively benign tech company are interesting.
Wondering if the Live Unit Testing came from the acquisition/integration of the Alive project. Very interesting indeed.

People forget why the electoral college was created. Every state gets 3 votes for free. More votes added based on population. That's by design, because it props up the small states.

The Constitution intentionally gave disproportionate power to small states to prevent the large states from being able to ignore them entirely. That was a condition that the small states demanded for joining the union.

This election worked exactly as it was intended. The small states preferred Trump, and their constitutionally granted power was sufficient to overule the authority of the larger states.
Imho people are just expressing their disagreement. I know downvote is not meant for that, but I think HN is to blame here. If you have two arrows, one up and one down, why is up for agreement while down is not for disagreement, but for "this doesn't add to conversation"? The actions should be opposite, or they should use different icons.

> if you have every intention of maintaining air superiority, they're not obsolete at all.

I don't understand. If the system isn't effective, it doesn't matter what it's intended to do, it's still obsolete. You can also use WWII-era equipment intended to provide air superiority, but it won't help.
I wonder if the zig-zag drawing and the stairs were actually as similar as you remember.

For instance, our sub-conscious tendency when drawing stairs would be to have straight lines at 0 and 90 degrees but a "zig-zag" wouldn't necessarily have that feature. Thus, even though you thought the drawings were the same, there were sufficient detectable differences for the AI to recognize.
Uber has a 'perfect capitalist' system internally, but drivers and clients don't get to participate.

I've noticed at times, that the driver doesn't get a receipt till I'm out of the car... Maybe this is so that we can't discuss the difference in what I pay and what they get?
Google Earth VR’ Launches for Free to Let You Fly Around the World
A concerted attack by a nation state actor is very hard to fend off, even by the likes of Google and the NSA (indeed, there was a hack of the NSA by Russia a couple months ago). That can't be blamed on bad security practices.
Sanders supporter who voted for Trump because of disdain for the Democrats and party corruption. For example, super delegates flipping states for HRC. Donna Brazile's shenanigans, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Wall Street speeches, Clinton Foundation. Trump(and Bernie) created a consciousness/awakening in the country about the how the political system has been captured by the donor class and corporate interests. Hopefully, the Democratic party will purge itself and return to being the peoples party. If not we need a third party direct democracy organization driven by open source software and forums like HN which hold online debates and crowd source the decisions made by politicians.
Microsoft joins Linux Foundation and Google joins .NET foundation. what a day :)
Is this based on 3D model or just 360 photo?

I looked at the online demo, it doesn't appear to be 3D model.

But if it is based on 360 photos, how does it perform the transition between different viewing locations?

Streetmap, for example, can't do very smooth transition.

Mono works really well. But, Mono's not the future. The future is Roslyn, CoreCLR, and CoreFX, basically the compiler, runtime and standard library for .NET applications.

They all work really well on Linux. They're part of the .NET foundation (https://github.com/dotnet).

> The fact that it was a state actor is a red herring. Would it had made any difference if it were an unknown US hacker?

I think it makes a huge difference. The specific parties involved and their intent matters.

Suppose this were a shooting instead of hack. If an unknown US citizen shoots up a mall, it's a headline. If a member of a Foreign military shoots up a US mall, it's an international incident.

Is there any chance that those "actual poor" people were not locals, but some rich college kids?
Or a mic with its own volume control. This probably works but it could require writing code to test in on a phone, this is why:

My PC doesn't have a mic plug and the headphone one is only out, no in. With two mics (internal and USB) I can switch among them by software. I'm pretty sure I could do that with an analogue mic.

I wonder if an app could do the same on a phone, switching from the outside dummy mic to the internal one. You'll definitely notice that if you're calling somebody, but if the app only listens when no other app is using the mic, then it's easy to record audio most of the time.
Personally I would much much more prefer a switch to Kotlin than to C#. And I bet, after the collaboration for android studio, Google and JetBrains are already working on it
