I did not introduce it out of nowhere it was a reference to the parent comment, which did seem relevant to the thread

It is a sensitive subject I suspect

And I cannot find the original parent comment in the discussion and I look like a total dick with my comment coming out of nowhere.

I will try and understand what moved where and get back to you

Aha:

"""A great example is how very resentful many young white men of college age are that universities are requiring them to take sensitivity courses designed to reduce the instance of campus rape, but strictly speaking men of that age are the overwhelming majority of bad actors in that environment. Statist"""

It is only my memory but I am fairly sure that the above comment said "strictly speaking young white men ..." which what prompted my comment. Maybe I transposed the white in the first part of the paragraph to the final part. Not sure. Please do check, let me know if I was being a fool or not.

Darn I need to md5 hash parent comments I reply to now :-)

Is the argument only about turing machines, or about any non-biological machine we could build? Turing machines don't include for example random generators nor parallelism, but we can build both of those. I'm talking about anything we could build.

I do not believe in something magical (unbuildable) that biological cells or human beings have, so with enough technology we could build something that understands just like the brain does. If the brain can do it, nothing stands in the way of something else doing it. Maybe the brain uses for example some quantum mechanics we don't yet fully understand, but we'll still be able to technically use it once we know how, it won't be magically limited to only human brains.

EDIT: ok if the argument is really only about turing machines and that is what is meant by "program", that should be indicated a bit more clearly imho, because computers are not turing machines (nor is the brain), they're less powerful in one way, yet have more features in other ways :)
Eskil's presentation on how he made an MMO by himself through smart technical choices has been a great inspiration for me for many years.

I knew perfectly well that Ethernet goes up to 1000 megabit/sec and WiFi generally 50-200 megabit/sec, but my reasoning was that the LAN shouldn't matter because my ISP only gives us ~6 megabytes/sec (or ~45 megabit/sec) and as far as I knew, all possible configurations easily saturated that as my laptop and repeater were the only things on WiFi with no interference from neighbors. In performance, you usually focus on the weakest link, and here the weakest link (ISP/Internet) was by far weaker than the other links.

Apparently I was grossly wrong, and I still don't understand why I was wrong and why the changes made such a large difference. Something to do with network protocols and response to packet loss or something, I guess.

Fun fact: the most common spider-related cause of death in Australia is not people being bitten, but a spider hiding in a car's sun visor, people opening said visor while driving and then crashing the car when the spider falls into their lap.

(BTH, this requires only one such fatal crash because nobody in Australia has died from a spider bite since 1979).
I know we've talked on here about Cooking Issues before, but the Pepin Chicken method + Dave Arnold is why I got a Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker, just because I knew I could buy cheap whole chickens, do whatever I want with the parts, throw the carcass in the pressure cooker and make some stock.

I mainly cook for me and my girlfriend, but I usually buy two chickens at a time because I can yield four breasts, four quarters, and ~2 quarts of stock (depending). I typically sous vide the breasts and serve over a salad, roast the quarters, and save the breast skin for this or that (schmaltz, cracklins, etc...). The boss move is roast the quarters over fingerlings potatoes with lemon juice, olive oil, schmaltz, herb, and stock.

That's $16 for meat for 3-5 meals.

Crowdfunding experience

> A House subcommittee once voted to cancel it. Instead, the program was rebooted with a strict spending cap. ... The major change, said Jonathan P. Gardner, the deputy senior project scientist, was to simplify the testing of the telescope.

Ugh, that does not sound encouraging. Organizations love to cut testing and QA. After all, all they do is cost money, cause delays, and 'create' problems. Cutting them is an obvious way to bring a project under budget and on schedule.

Does anyone know what changes were made to testing?

We're going to be unhappy, and the advancement of astronomy delayed a long time, if something goes wrong. I don't see the next President and Congress wanting to raise revenue and spend more on science.
The same thing happened to me. My thoughts: "I don't understand why this bed is shaking. Does this Japanese bed have some sort of massage mode that got triggered somehow? Silly me, if it had a massage mode, I would have noticed electronics somewhere. The people downstairs must be doing something. Ok, back to sleep."
for what it's worth, i think if there continues to be self-proclaimed terrorist attacks on the US, they will definitely start rounding people up.

I'm also not who you asked but I'll jump in anyways.

I'm a network engineer and use pretty much "enterprise" gear across the board at home. A couple of years ago, though, I yanked out my Cisco ASA firewall (connecting my home network to my ISP) and replaced it. I'm now using a (expensive) "RouterMaxx 1106" [0] (PDF) as my home router. It was designed for and shipped with Mikrotik RouterOS but I replaced that with pfSense, initially, and then switched, later, to OpenBSD. It Just Works(TM).

The hardware, for the most part, doesn't matter too much. The software you choose is much more important, in my opinion. Choose something that can be tuned and locked down as needed and, critically, gets updated regularly. I'm a "CLI guy" and quite comfortable with OpenBSD and a terminal so this setup works for me. For those desiring a point-and-click web-based method of administration, pfSense, OpenWRT, and similar may better serve their needs.

n.b.: FWIW, my router doesn't provide Wi-Fi, only (6 x 1000 Mbit) wired Ethernet. I have been using an Aerohive AP330 access point but am currently replacing it with a Ubiquiti Unifi AP AC PRO.

I saw the claim earlier today, that Canada has the richest middle class in the world, which seemed believable.

Can you explain what you mean about bureaucrats? Carbon taxes are the free market solution to this problem, replacing central decision making.

The other members was not happy when they found out that GS applied for patents that could affect R3. My guess is that GS thinks they will make more money on their own when they built up a nice patent portfolio in this space.
The problem is complacently means that when small events happen you're going to suffer comparatively more.

I used to work for a structural engineering firm here in New Zealand, and we had to bring in a whole lot of Australian Engineers to meet the workload of assessing buildings in Christchurch after the Earthquake. They said that engineering in Australia is dull and easy compared to in NZ, which is fine until something happens.

Back in 89 there was a comparatively minor Earthquake in Newcastle which resulted in a disproportionate amount of damage and unfortunate loss of life.

I'd kind of rather be sitting in a base isolated modern NZ building in a large earthquake than a non earthquake sound building in another country in a minor earthquake. Of course if I never have to live through another earthquake I'd be most happy.

Be safe. :)
Man's Best Fiend
My prior is that that race has no influence on behaviour therefore I would assume no difference between rape tendency (indeed any criminal tendency) amount young men of different races.

As in I am surprised that the parent claimed ... err the parent I replied too seems to have vanished and my comment is looking pretty weird

Anyway from memory he raised that young white men had a higher rape stats than any other group - I was surprised by the inclusion of race in that
Yes, annoying to me. It's unsolicited, unwanted email from a stranger, interrupting my concentration several times a day, and often not even intended to be sent to me. This is the very definition of spam -- why would you consider this an acceptable practice?

There's no fool-proof filter for this. I can't safely filter out all email containing certain keywords, even from external email domains. I would get legitimate email containing those words from external domains -- legit candidates, people I met at conferences, etc.

I don't argue that it's good to contact a real person when trying to get a job. But at least take the effort to ensure you're actually emailing the person you intend, not some other person who happens to have the same first name!

Given that the OP applied to nearly three hundred companies, I can absolutely guarantee he just sent these out blindly based on guessing the first name. And seeing as he only got phone screens out of 11% of these companies, one would assume most recipients of these emails view them the same way I do: garbage.
Amen, not every github project turns into a popular OS project.

Ask HN: Themes about whistleblowing
Hello HN!

I have to write a few short articles about tech whistleblowing for a college project an I thought maybe you could help me.

I'm out of ideas for the writings, some of the already mentioned things are:

* Russel Tice - NSA

* GlobaLeaks - a software to set up a whistleblowing website

* Peter Horne - alerted the media about the Lenovo Superfish incident

etc etc...

Can you think of any similar incidents/scandals since 2000?

And please don't even try the Snowden thing...
no. it was confirmed dead.
Spending $20k on your kitchen can be rationalized into the resale value of your house. The wiring less so.
In my case it's a very impressive act of manipulation, since I eat breakfast at home before coming in.

I guess I don't see it your way. The word "manipulative" implies two things: first, that I am a dupe. And second, that there is a malicious intent to trick people into doing something against their interest.

I've been at Pivotal for three years. If the intent is malicious, then it's been executed with such universal and flawless attention to detail across every manager and director I've dealt with that I am simply unable to distinguish it from honesty.

Given that it's indistinguishable, I'm just going to pretend I work for and with honest people, no matter how perfect their conspiracy to be nice to me might be.
This is correct, and is noted in the Wikipedia article's discussion of memory usage[1].

In my case, the worst psychological trauma (because we have to call it what it is) were given by women. Specifically, one at high school and one who was my girlfriend. Society hasn't punished those women, and when I seeked for help, society (my mother, colleagues, friends, psychologists) didn't believe the trauma was that big, they just encouraged me to get over it.

So yes, I agree the bro attitude is what caused society to tell me that. I agree we need to ditch it. But as it stands, society ditches the bro attitude only when a woman is the victim. A man who doesn't want the car that goes with the job isn't a real man, while it's ok for women. Society specifically helps women because they're shy and too unconfident to be promoted as managers, but not men with the same traits.

That's why we need to fix prejudices like "All women are victims", "Women are paid .77 per dollar" or "Women are more clever than men". We need to remove the gender from those sentences. "Weak people are psychologically harmed at home", "Unconfident people aren't promoted despite better skills", "Shy people are paid less than their peers", etc. It's ok if those happen to be 95% women: Let's help people based on their weakness, not based on their gender.

About hate: Well the damage is done, so what you want from me is that I pardon women. It's not time to do it, when most party still propose even more advantages for women without acknowledging male-specific difficulties. As soon as equality for men is a right, I'll forgive what I've been through.

Hey HN, this is something I have been working on for most of this year. It started out as a more fully featured web-based daw that would have lots of different instruments with its own plugin format. I got quite far into the project and built a very modular system so it is easy to create more instruments by just dropping in a js file and a view file for the visuals.

It was taking longer than I thought so I decided to create a V2 of my old Acid Machine app using this code as a base.

It's great to see people talking about it after being hidden away on my laptop for so long. If anyone has any technical questions, I would love to answer them. Also.. I am on the lookout for some freelance work at the moment.
It doesn't make deployment easier, per se. It gives you sane, scalable ways to solve deployment, credentials, logging, autoscaling, infrastructure provisioning, etc etc so you don't have to solve them yourself.

Overall I'd say it doesn't solve anything that was unsolved before, but it solves a common problem in a palatable way.
I apologize for not offering a better translation. I am also neither a native English speaker nor a German lawyer. But I will try to translate/explain as good as possible.

The term 'extradition' may be a bit misleading here. Extradition applies to people who are under arrest or in jail (he is not) and describes the process of transferring people to another country even against their will (which may or may not be the case). As far as I understand the ruling by the Bundesgerichtshof (not the constitutional court in the country, just the highest court in administrative matters) merely says that the NSA special committee of the Bundestag (Federal Parliament) needs to bring forward the request for a hearing of Edward Snowden to the German federal government. From thereon are two possibilities: if the German federal government agrees, they have to allow for a safe transfer. If they don't the case may likely go to the constitutional court.
There was an interesting idea floating around Designer News—Without Steve Jobs nobody can contain Johnny Ive.

Jobs was a champion of the user. Tim Cook's specialty is in logistics, and probably defaults to Ive on many product decisions. In the mean time Ive continues designing beautiful products that focus on beauty and compromise on function.

I doubt that's the case, but I like the theory.

I have several almost-zero-traffic sites running from an Odroid (ARM board) at home. The largest site has only 30k requests in the Apache log for October, but it's a photo gallery, so there's 150GB of pictures behind it. There's also a backup of my desktop, which is another 2TB or so.

I set its ancestor up when I was about 16, using Debian -- and invested a fair amount of time in it, learning a lot.

When I bought it in 2013, the cost of cloud storage for a few years was far greater than the cost of the board + a hard drive, but setting up the obscure hardware took more effort than I expected. Nevertheless, I have no plan to switch to cloud services. I like owning my own stuff, and keeping the flexibility to add whatever service I need on the network at home is very useful. For example, I can SSH into it, and control my fancy central heating system, and a while back I added a UPNP media server, which can stream to a Chromecast.

As noted above, I think the practice of installing a bunch of Babel plugins is the wrong approach to this problem. If you want to avoid parsing markdown in the client, then pre-compile it using one of the million markdown compilers that exist.
Yeah, these are correct thoughts for a serial entrepreneur. With two, assumingly successful, exits he now likely has a net worth somewhere between 2-100M. He could live off his investments/net worth. If his next exit is not a very big one, he will not really gain much. i.e. If he exits for 10M, which could be good for the early employees, he has only made a small fractional increase in net worth, for presumably a ton of work -- he wasted his time. So of course he will want to take big risks. This is probably a big part of why VCs prefer serial entrepreneurs, besides other obvious benefits like experience, they are prepared to shoot for the stars which is how VCs get paid.

Misleading title. There were no "fingerprints deleted without notice"
Reminds me of this quote:

"Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out!"

I saw this suggestion multiple times, but I never seen any "web links" under chrome or firefox, in this article I can't find word "web" anywhere.

I found though something that worked for me, I copied the title of this article, and then clicked on the magnifying glass on top right corner, and after clicking on the article I was able to read it.

Edit: NVM, that only worked once for me.

Anyway I'm not sure it makes sense to post here articles behind a paywall.

The US is the same way, but it's universities the parents are bragging about, not K-12 schools.
I see a major problem at Apple. They are being run by committee. Tim Cook is not a visionary or entrepreneur at heart. He is a logistics guy.

The best run technology companies are run by dictators with a strong technology and product background (Jobs, Elon Musk, Reed Hastings). Let me say it again... Yes dictator. You are never going to get a large group of people to agree on something, if you do it's watered down, compromised, and lacks ambition.
