No, just lying about different things. Back then you were absolutely supposed to lie about things like having sex before marriage, where your teenage daughter went for six months just after she started dating that guy and putting on weight, how much you love being a housewife, the attraction you have for your own sex, your interest in non-gender-conforming behaviour, what your creepy uncle did when he babysat you...
The monospace is clearly an offspring of Lucida Typewriter. It is slightly condensed, a touch heavier, and with some obvious code-friendly variations (like a single-storey 'g' and a crossed zero) and a quirky, asymmetric curve inside the bowl of the 'b', 'd', 'g', 'p' and 'q' that I've instantly warmed to.

I'll give it a red hot go and develop in it for a day, but those chunky slab serifs are much busier than the Menlo I've preferred since 2009.
I wonder if this could be combined with some of the (relatively) recent issues w/ LastPass and/or 1Password, where the application and password credentials were accessible via 127.0.0.1 (which is apparently required for the browser extensions to work)?

If so -- assuming the user is logged in to {1Password|LastPass} -- just plug this in to their PC after they walked away from their desk and wait for all of their saved credentials to be stolen!

Android is deeply dependent on a runtime with Java semantics. The only realistic hope for an implementation language other than Java would be a VM language like Scala or Kotlin. Kotlin is a semi-official alternative, since it is supported by the IDE technology provider.

C# is close enough that ART could likely be extended to encompass it. But it would be somewhat more work than supporting an actual JVM language.

BUT the real question is, with modern IDEs, does it matter? How much do you need a prettier and/or more concise language? And if you do, why not Kotlin?
the only reason twitter is still around is because of momentum and because their failure to find a good business model prevents others from coming on to the scene.

they have a false monopoly and I will be glad when they finally go broke and/or are replaced by a better service.
Part of me wishes ReactOS was a basis for TAILS. I like TAILS but a lot more normal non-techies could use it if it was more a more windows friendly transition.
Where does that link support the statement that:

This is PSYOPS not OCO.

Russia's goal was to create the perception that they're meddling in this election, so as to delegitimize the electoral process itself.
If they'll be launching thousands of satellites, I expect the marginal cost of replacing one launch to be lower than what most satellite makers could manage. And then, reliability has a cost of its own.

Have you calculated the optimum?

What's wrong with just sending money from your acct# to their acct# with a reference number/code to identify that transaction as you, other businesses work this way (such as my power and phone bills from diff. companies), but the NZTA for example requires me to use either a credit card (which is fine) or POLi, which is garbage.

"no one can see your bank details" it says on https://www.polipayments.com/security which is a fraudulent claim, yeah the hell you can, its being sent to your server, not my bank, this is crazy. It also says they don't cache anything -- all kinds of criminals claim they're up to no harm. POLi says they're up to no harm, why should I believe them? There is NO EXCUSE for using POLi vs. just paying with your bank, if a business offers POLi and not bank transfer directly or a credit card, i would never even remotely entertain doing business with them. NZTA is not a business though, it's a government agency. You can do it in person though (transfer ownership of a car for example), or by CC, so whatever, I don't understand who would ever use POLi, the naive? Hopefully they go bankrupt in the near future.
Thanks, this is slightly reassuring. I'm honest when I say, I've really worried that I made the wrong decision when I purchased the oculus. Hopefully once my Touch controllers arrive, I'll feel less so.

I remember the "good ol' days" when you could reasonably build a monolithic Linux kernel with support for loadable modules disabled. Just compile in whatever you needed for your hardware and leave out the other 90% that you didn't need.

It was a decent (but not very popular) defense against rootkits and attackers being able to dynamically load kernel modules and would also prevent something like this (unless you had the necessary drivers compiled in).

Is the world so radically different in this regard now? I'm not disagreeing outright, but I still think that lies, misinformation and misrepresentation have been a part of human communications since the dawn of time. Remember the chain e-mails that were oh so popular prior to social networks? And before that, before electronics, there must have been a lot of bullshit that was spread in the written word on paper and before that by word of mouth. The fake news business is largely the same old thing in new wrapping IMO.

With communication enabling faster communication with greater reach, there might be more noise, but is it worse in terms of percentage of communication?
My feedback on Visual Studio for Mac: I created a basic mobile application. I didn't write any code - just started with a new application and clicked run. When I launched it for iOS it worked. When I launched it for Android it crashed immediately. OK...
It would be good to see if that study can be replicated.
Why hardcode the timezone to Asia/Hong_Kong?
Ultimately, all the various *OS functions report to the same senior vice president. However, there still are teams that predominantly do macOS, iOS, etc, and there always have been engineers who worked on multiple platforms. Historically, the barriers have mostly been against porting iOS technology to macOS, but that hasn't been an issue in several years.
Why stop there?

You seem to want not a nation of 50 states, but 50 completely independently sovereign nations which will somehow miraculously also agree to cooperate on the handful of things that you personally feel they should.

This has been tried, and failed, and was replaced with the Constitution we have now.
Why can't Apple make it easier to debug memory management issues?
Nope, insurgents found a way around that a long time ago when convoys started including jammers. Hybrid detonation systems: radio arm the device outside of jamming range, mechanical switch detonated the IED once the vehicle triggers it.
Perhaps the penalty for lying has gone down? Much broader reach, so you can potentially dupe a lot more people, and you can either hide your true identity or you're so removed from the individuals you duped that they can't effectively affect your real reputation. There's gotta be stuff out there on reputation that looks into this.
To elaborate on this further, a competitive market in payments allows for a great diversity in interchange rates for different payment types.[0] This allows competing payment networks (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, etc.) to offer the exact most efficient rate for a transaction, based on their actual costs. Under a regulated system, less risky transactions would be subsidizing more risky transactions, because the rates are capped. Our current system allows a major grocery retailer like Costco to have flat rates at $0.30 per transaction.

Awesome - I moved across to fastmail a couple of days ago. I've been using a custom domain for email for awhile (josephg.com), merged with a gmail account. I'm very happy I set that up because moving to fastmail was a cinch - there's no forwarding to do, just a few DNS records to reconfigure. And with a custom domain I'll have that email address for life, no matter what happens to fastmail.

My gmail account (josephg@) gets a tremendous amount of email for other people. Earlier this year I was getting a lot of marketing trash from a particularly excited group of car dealerships in Illinois. Around the same time youtube suspiciously started advertising new cars to me. Its all way too creepy, and reading articles like this about people's gmail accounts getting locked out I'm very happy to reinforce my digital independence from google.
I agree that the "for profit" bit isn't the problem, it's the sheer size of Google. Everyone who has been paying attention has watched with dismay as Apple and "don't be evil" Google (along with other, smaller, actors) have become increasingly amoral over the last decade. Same goes, of course, for the government.

I don't see any reason to believe that there's anything other to it than sheer size: as a company gets larger, it becomes less driven by humans and more driven by its corporate structure, or whatever.

I use FastMail, and I don't imagine for a second that it would act any more ethically if it were in the same position of market dominance.
Just chiming in to say I also use FastMail and love it. The only thing I wish they did differently is offer SMS 2FA. (Yeah, I know about the downsides. I am a normal person who doesn't need extreme security.)
"famously"? Could you name a few cases? I've heard of this practice in other companies, but never at Apple.
We didn't get this far despite our irrationality, we got this far because of it.
The page itself is set in the proportional version of Go. I found it distracting to read because of the uneven character widths. The majority of the characters (like 'b', 'd', 'f', 'k', 'l', 'o', and 't') are narrow, but some common letters (mainly the 'e' and 'c') are round and wide, with generous space around them. I can't get past the impression that I'm reading paper that wrinkled when it went through the printer. Even the name "Go" has a wide G, awkwardly large space, and narrow "o". Perhaps it's an artifact of the browser rendering, because it's less noticeable on the alphabet sample image.

The monospaced example reminds me of TeX-produced CS papers at first glance. I'll have to give it some time.
The vertical line of the box-drawing characters (U+2502 and etc.) is not long enough.

While you are at it, can you guys complete the APL symbols?
The whistleblower laws allow some degree of anonynimity precisely for the reasons above.

From the article:

"Using an alias, Tyler Shultz contacted New York state’s public-health lab ..."

"... Mr. Shultz began speaking to a Journal reporter as a confidential source."

"... regulatory complaint Mr. Shultz had filed under the alias Colin Ramirez"

The decision to confront the CEO personally was his own, he could've chosen the anonymous path all along.
The PSLV launched 20 satellites in one shot and that vehicle is 15M $ per launch. The double digit million cost of SpaceX's reusable rocket isn't much cheaper than that.

Does someone know what orbit these are being launched into and how heavy they are?
"In a series of studies in 2005 and 2006, researchers at the University of Michigan found that when misinformed people, particularly political partisans, were exposed to corrected facts in news stories, they rarely changed their minds. In fact, they often became even more strongly set in their beliefs. Facts, they found, were not curing misinformation. Like an underpowered antibiotic, facts could actually make misinformation even stronger."

That is messed up. What happened to the remains that were surely in the wreck?

So wrong.
Nope. When you see it then it's not insider anymore since the sources are multiple news websites.

As long as spacex is the cheapest taxi then they will have customers. No one sending something precious into orbit is lacking in the legal department. On top of that I think it's fair to say that spacex and Musk have a fairly "good guy" reputation as far as ip goes.

Moderation may not be the top priority if the idea is good enough. Worry about the UX first, then aesthetic.
Theranos was tied in to higher-ups in both parties. Holmes was doing fundraisers with Chelsea Clinton for Hillary's presidential bid.

So no, it's not the most important adjective.
What whistleblower law?
Thanks I'll look up your firm.

We typically these days prefer market mix models and the like for building definite guidelines on absolute money allocation.

We do run lift studies for operational comparisons and optimizations, but find these techniques unreliable and generally overestimates for any absolute conclusions. We do technically evaluate most new techniques that come to market.
people have different talents and skills that are valued differently over time.
So you need to order new passwords if you're making a lot of online purchases? That seems even more insane, really.
"You don't need to worry about keeping your data anywhere else" is the heart of Google's pitch for all their services, including Gmail, Docs, Drive, and most recently Photos. I mean, the ads for Photos are literally people feeling better knowing that their stuff is safely stored with Google.

It seems reasonable to hold Google responsible for what they say.

> he people affected don’t have access to Gmail, Google Drive, Google Voice, or anything from Google. They don’t have any access to gift cards, bills, travel confirmations, work documents, etc that were saved in their Gmail accounts.

Yikes. That is scary. A large part of my online life is tied to Google. I was even debating getting a Project Fi phone too. Because well it is convenient and cheaper, but it would mean sink everything even deeper into Google.

For fun though, let's imagine if Google or Facebook ran a country. They would control the news you read, the apps you can install, they know where you are at every single instant (via your phone), they know all your secrets (who you talked to, what sites you visit, how often), they know who you know (contacts), Nest thermostat at home even controls how warm or cold you should be. In return you get all the super shiny and new stuff: latest technology, watches which measure your cholesterol, VR games, best email experience, unlimited archiving of your photos, really fast tear-free rendering of web pages. But if you make a wrong step your plug is pulled and you have no recourse. You go to the store to buy something, you just don't exist in the system - no access to you account. Can't travel because it refuses to route you. You can't talk to email or chat to other people because they can't reach you.

Was he "vouching" or just relating what she'd told him? I doubt many investors, young or old, have the medical chops to spot falsified data.
That's why they have an approval process for these features. It would be really terrible if phishing attacks could exploit "track package" or "check-in for flight" buttons.
One thing that's hard to do in safe code is getting two &mut references out of a HashMap at the same time. (If you know the keys are disjoint.) That might matter to some design somewhere?

Ask HN: Scientist missing in Honduras, can anyone help?
Can anyone on Hacker News help with this, or perhaps get in touch with someone who can?

Honduran biologist, Isis Melissa Medina Flores (32), disappeared on November 5th at "Parque Nacional Montaña de Celaque", in Honduras while on a small science/hiking expedition.

The family is hoping to find her well and alive. The family is asking for any kind of help with canines, GPS or satellite imagery and/or rescue equipment/services/drones.

If anyone here knows of someone who can assist them, please get in touch with the family via their FB page (in spanish):

https://www.facebook.com/rescateisismelissa/

If you do not speak spanish, I can serve as a translator, just contact me via henryauget@gmail.com

Much obliged to anyone who can provide ANY kind of help (even if it's a tweet somewhere), or who can get the word out to someone who can. EVERY SECOND COUNTS!
That's the one part of startup culture they got right, apparently.
This reminds me of Java applications that you can immediately tell are Java because of the weird font.

I don't see an advantage over using native system fonts. As far as I know you don't need a license to use fonts installed on the system running the application. Why does the font need to be bundled? The wide spread adoption of this is going to make go programs stick out like a sore thumb.
IF Microsoft makes another run at phones, the should use Tizen with .NET. That would be very much in the spirit of Android. Every Android OEM/ODM would know how to port it, so it might pull along some 3rd party hardware makers. Most importantly it would lose all the complexity of being Windows Everywhere while still running key MS apps.

> You don't always have the right to say what you please and just because you do say it doesn't make your opinion 'valid'. There are plenty of invalid "opinions."

The First Amendment, at least in the US, protects the right of the people to say what they please. It is a very important right, because it prevents that form of power from being concentrated in a small group, and certain topics never being brought up.

You may perceive many opinions as invalid, but you don't know how people arrived at them - from their perspective, they're perfectly valid. This is true for all humans, as we do not possess perfect information. Effectively all of our opinions are invalid. This is not useful, and we're saying other peoples' opinions are valid not because they're 100% factually correct, but as a sign of respect and understanding that information processing is difficult and that we acknowledge that the opinion is reasonable from their end.
You can register a domain for ~$15/yr from a registrar like Gandi, and they will include several email accounts. Anyone who cares about their online presence should do this.

Except that many generations of immigrants have successfully integrated. Besides European immigrants, Asian immigrants on the West Coast have integrated amazingly well. Latinos have also integrated nicely, although it's harder to tell because we have so many fresh immigrants.

Cultural integration is a multigenerational process, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.
Are you serious? Literally right now is the exact reason free speech means neo-nazis should be allowed to spread their message of hate. Someone who supports and is allied with these very neo-nazis and white supremacists is now the head of the United States government.

The reason we have been tolerating neo-nazis for so long is that we've established a principle called free speech, and we've developed a legal theory and a society where Trump cannot use his power to turn the tables and ban discussion of things he finds objectionable: perhaps he'd like to institute a ban on discussing racial justice because he finds it "hateful" and divisive? Perhaps he (or someone in his administration) would like to ban the hateful, hateful folks who advocate legalizing what he would call the murder of unborn children?

Now is the exact moment you should be on your knees thanking all of those assholes who defended the freedom of speech of the neo nazis of every time period against governments who acted with the best intentions, trying to stop hate. Because the hateful ones are now the ones who get to decide what 'hateful' means.
An anonymous whistleblower is likely to be ignored however. I edited my reply to include this most likely option.

Schultz Jr was contacted in LinkedIn by a WSJ reporter, he did not hide his identity because he likely (empirically) realized that his anonymous complaint would be ignored.
It doesn't matter which way the partisan advantage would run (and it most likely wouldn't be to the permanent advantage of one side anyway), if it increased turnout then that would be an unalloyed Good Thing.
"Producing and using the newly discovered oil and gas will also contribute to climate change, ..."

In PBS' bias, supply creates demand. In fact, it will have a neutral effect -- it will merely replace imported oil and gas. (If the gas is venting naturally right now, capping and storing it would have a (miniscule) negative impact on "greenhouse gas").
