The Typewriter Revolution article is a real beauty. It covers a nice history lesson as well as making some good points.

One thing I take offense to is this statement:

> Opening multiple windows on a computer screen doesn't work for back-and-forth cross-referencing of other material during authoring work, both because of slow visual navigation and because of the limited space on the computer screen.

That's a problem that's easily solved with a half decent window manager.

If a post is being pitched as news, then some amount of fact checking needs to take place. Traditional media has been doing that forever and identifying sources of information, since they have to uphold their reputation. I think in this day and age the responsibility falls on Facebook, or whatever is publishing the "news". Facebook could use a standardized and easily recognizable visual language to indicate how "newsworthy" a given post is. Heck we now have an animated language for reactions, why can't we have this?

I would be cautious about outright filtering content without giving user some way to set thresholds. It feels like handing way too much power to the algorithm. I want to make the final (informed) decision on what to read and what to believe.
Scientists Create Battery That Charges in Seconds and Lasts for Days
You got a good long answer, but more simply: An expected level of occasional 40+ hour weeks is often baked into to the salary at a higher level. When I switched to a salaried manager position, my new rate of pay was better than my old hourly, including the overtime I used to work. Now I know the check that will come every two weeks is the same, if I can do my work in under 40 hours nobody cares. It is much better for me to focus on my job and not worry about the exact number of hours I work.
I think he straight up lied, or "rused" as I think they call it, the journalist. I mean, the line >>>Coler says his writers have tried to write fake news for liberals — but they just never take the bait.<<< is as blatant winking and nudging as it can get without spelling it out. In other words "Liberals never take the bait", he told to a liberal as he was taking the bait.
You could say the same thing about fake TV news comedy shows where lots of millenials get their news. It's all over the spectrum. Be careful what you wish for when you want "bad ideas" banned.
No, dude it's his fault and people are angry. This is a huge violation of trust and shouldn't be downplayed like that.
Brigading is a pretty meaningless term when the whole site is build upon linking to other sites. It's pointless to make a distinction between a link to an external site and to reddit itself.

You're effectively saying "[The rule of law] is shit", which as the article notes, might also result in the new Trump administration refusing to defend this administrative action (which would be legitimate unlike the cases where the executive of a government refuses to defend a law passed by the legislature in front of the court system (just to lay out our general pattern of 3-4 branches of government (4 when you count the "administrative state"))).

Or more simply, the ends do not justify the means, even if, as you point out and I agree in principle, the ends in this case are potentially good.

The prospect of Trump in power in what's arguably no longer a republic run under the Rule of Law has gotten a lot of people to reconsider their position on this (and I share a concern, despite or perhaps even more because I voted for him), and I'll close with the classic Man of All Seasons quote:

Roper: So now you'd give the Devil benefit of law!

More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?

Roper: I'd cut down every law in England to do that!

More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you — where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast — man's laws, not God's — and if you cut them down — and you're just the man to do it — d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.

I find the code very useful. I've checked the Core Foundation sources numerous times when I wanted to know how something was implemented. Apple's documentation is sometimes lacking, and it's great when you run into a problem and you can just read the sources.

Unfortunately, CF is always released pretty late (it's "coming soon" for months), and it would be nice if much more was Open Source.

But I'm happy about every bit of code that's public!

The waste is not simply the spent nuclear fuel, but much of the machinery and systems around it, plus the discarded items used daily in the management of a plant (clothes etc).
This low level nuclear waste while 'only' dangerous for 100 to 500 years, is huge - vastly bigger than the 76000 metric tons of spent fuel:

I don't have the tonnage of the low level waste to hand, but it is certainly much larger than the high level waste.
See, this is the kind of dumb crap that isn't news.

Of course they have that data - you have chosen to send it to their website. It would be physically impossible for that website to run if the data could not be read. Obviously, it's preferable if only 'the right people' can read it, but it's much safer to assume that isn't the case.

Extend the Algolia Search Bundle to Multiple Databases
Thank you jerf and sampo for your very helpful comments. This is something that I had on my mind during the implementation but focused primarily on expressiveness.

While the array slicing in Fortran is O(1), the implementation of tail does make a copy. Though a good compiler should be able to replace tail(x) with x(2:), the Fortran standard does not guarantee it to do so. The first step forward that I see would be to replace tail(x) with x(2:) in the internal implementations of fold[lr].

In any case, the time complexity for these functions is definitely something I plan to document soon.
Either that, or they're not very good at writing fake stories for liberals. They might have different triggers that he's unable to find.
Lesser Known Tools We Love at Kiwi.com, Part 1 of 3: CLI
And having been exempt salaried but working in D.C. for a dozen years where so much is done by government accounting rules, it's a total pain in the posterior to make sure your Official worked hours add up to exactly 40. One of the few nice things about working for Lucent in its dreadful calendar year 2001 was that I could just focus on getting the job done

The only time I ever liked doing that was when it was a tool to keep a company owner from cheating the salesmen by charging them too much for the labor we put into building the systems we'd together, almost always, sold to someone (and that company eventually died, you can't keep cheating all your salaried employees and expect to survive, we all walked away with 4-5 figures of bonuses or commissions formally owed to us).
Redgate Coding Challenge winners
Abuses of power happen, and are bad, but changing a comment on an internet forum is about as low down on the scale of seriousness as you can get.

The only real problem I can see is that people (at least, here in the UK) have been charged with crimes relating to something they've posted on reddit. Clearly, that's ridiculous if there can be no expectation of proof of authorship.

Party affiliation is a matter of public record in the US, as are the dates and amounts of donations to political campaigns and action committees.

I haven't heard of any case in which anyone claiming affiliation with the "alt-right" has used any of this information in order to attack anyone. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said on all sides; Brendan Eich's politically motivated ouster from Mozilla, for example, tends to crop up fairly regularly in discussions of such matters, as a good example of the sort of behavior considered entirely apropos and indeed quite virtuous among progressive biens-pensants.
I'm not saying that you're right or wrong, but why do you think that?
Sequoia invested in Skyscanner after their earlier travel metasearch investment, Kayak, had been acquired by Priceline.

I gather they observed that Skyscanner was positioning themselves to become a leader in the areas where Kayak wasn't, particularly in China, and felt that their investment could help Skyscanner win in those markets.

Once again, it looks like Sequoia's judgement has been spot on.

I think it says more about our culture and its value of the imaginary difference and individualism, where in the real world the difference is very limited, than it does about individuals. If you take a different culture, it may hate individuality and difference.

Well, pretty timely to have this today. I'm getting LASIK in less than 24h. Perfect to have second and third thoughts -.-

For anyone in the same situation I recommend to read all the way through the comments. The first ones are incredibly negative, and they keep getting better towards the end.

I've used glasses since forever. And never really worried too much about them. From the aesthetic pov I didn't care at all. Glasses have obviously some inconvenients, not going to list them now, but those never really troubled me. I just woke one day with the idea that I could as well get rid of them because getting new glasses/sunglasses every x years was going to cost more than just LASIK. This reasoning sounds incredibly stupid right now that I have to face the risks.

I got my eyes checked at Barraquer in Barcelona, and it's them who recommended me into it. Apparently, it's here where they developed LASIK, so I guess that's a big relief, not exempt of risk. Feels good that we are on the map for something science related though, so I guess I'm just finding more excuses to feel confident for tomorrow :P

Hopefully I can keep reading HN in the future...
> its just that liberals are ahead of the curve in being skeptical about information on the Net.

The entire raison-d-etre of the "alternative right" websites is that conservative views are being suppressed in the entire leftist-leaning media establishment. If anything, liberals missed the entire ideological wave by pitting their heads in the sand, until it hit came back to bite them.
Then we should be able to detect the transmissions and build other receivers. Or we should be able to block the transmissions, or generate new ones. If this hypothesis were true, it should be very easy to construct tests for it but as far as I am aware nothing is forthcoming.
Facebook pages describing normality seem to reduce STIs in youth
It's kind of interesting, you are the second person recently to tell me that I am espousing Wittgenstein's ideas. I never read the man's works or know much of his philosophy, though I know others.

I would say what we have are beliefs. And we use language to express them and can only legitimately convince each other, ie change someone': beliefs, through exposing a double standard in beliefs. All other methods eg. appeal to emotion could achieve this but are not logically legitimate without the double standard reason for changing beliefs. Knowledge is another word for bias.

From your perspective, do you dispute this?

Sure! It derives from the SDSI/SPKI work of the late 90s, which demonstrated how one can use petnames (i.e., local nicknames) for people, and then refer to a contact's petnames via one's petname for that contact.

So you might refer to a name (mom dad June).

The main advantage of the frequentist approach is that you can do the calculations much more easily. Bayesian statistics is great, but often the calculations are much more difficult because of your distribution of priors. You can make up simplified priors to ease the calculations, but then you run into some of the same problems as frequentist statistics.

Here is a simple example: lets say you flip a coin 10 times and get 8 heads, what is the probability that the coin is not fair? In frequentist statistics you only have to calculate the likelihood of the results for a null hypothesis, and then you use a p-value. While this approach is flawed, at least you can quickly do the calculation and get an approximate answer. In Bayesian statistics you have to specify the prior distribution, and calculate the likelihood of your results under every possible hypothesis. Correctly specifying this prior distribution and calculating the results is quite challenging - especially if you want to use a realistic prior (not just uniform). This is a pretty simple example, you can imagine how much more challenging this becomes in real-world problems. On the other hand, it is true that the frequentist approach doesn't really answer the question asked, so it is misleading (especially if you choose a p-value that isn't specific to the problem). If you choose p-values based on prior knowledge, than the differences between frequentist and bayesian are less extreme.
The fact that this was part of a particularly crazy episode on /r/The_Donald/ should surely at least be taking into account before sentencing is determined.

I live near downtown New York with a beautiful view of the financial district. Most of the towers stay fully illuminated throughout the night every night. Some turn off some floor at times but a majority do not (e.g all floors of the Goldman Sachs building stay constantly brightly illuminated).

What you will end up with is likely something that is LESS secure but now mandated for anything made/sold legally in the US. The rest of world will be free to do better things

You will also end up with mandated Backdoors, weakened encryption, and a variety of other NSA/FBI wish list items that will be included in any "Cyber Security" bill

I have no interest in the US congress regulating IoT devices, that will not be good for liberty, or security
Also I say that the word "exists" is meaningless unless it is relative to a conscious observer.

To illustrate, if I described a parallel world that you would never encounter, never be able to deduce its existence from any observations in this one etc. then in what way are the sentences "it exists" and "it doesn't exist" meaningful?

I think meaning is only relative to some subject who can comprehend it.

I also think morality is relative to someone with a "sense of morality". Absolute morality is like absolute humor. Humor requires a human with a "sense of humor". A humorless person is like a psychopath. They don't share the same phychological responses as others. Some moral value can be widespread just like a joke can be funny to a lot of people.

So I guess I am a relativist...

Schneier point of view is that government involvement will happen and it is better to shape this involvement before the US government is forced to intervene after a large-scale disaster.

> Nothing motivates the U.S. government like fear. Remember 2001? A small-government Republican president created the Department of Homeland Security in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks: a rushed and ill-thought-out decision that we've been trying to fix for more than a decade.

> A fatal IoT disaster will similarly spur our government into action, and it's unlikely to be well-considered and thoughtful action.

> Our choice isn't between government involvement and no government involvement. Our choice is between smarter government involvement and stupider government involvement. We have to start thinking about this now. Regulations are necessary, important and complex ­— and they're coming. We can't afford to ignore these issues until it's too late.

And to top it off, we have no drugs that are both effective and effective for the long term to treat anxiety per se (maybe an anti-depressant will help you think more clearly and not think yourself into anxiety, and there are some semi-wild off label avenues, but...). Also the case for personality disorders, but they sound to me like problems that aren't amenable to medication.

(Whereas we have imperfect but often very effective, even miraculous as my mother observed first hand in her nursing career drug treatments for the other major mental illnesses, depression, bi-polar disorder, and schizophrenia.)
