As you may or may not be aware, decreasing rates of labor participation in the US have pushed many who cannot secure full-time work to seek freelancing gigs in order to avoid starving and/or homelessness.

Saying "they are not in a position to conduct freelancing" doesn't make the problem go away. If it did, US construction, fruit picking, home cleaning and other manual labor industries could be reorganized with a single utterance.

Yeah, we've been working on this for a while, and figured we'd throw it out there after hearing that news :)

A few things that are different: you can see your list of past posts, we store everything in localStorage in the browser, we have Android, iOS, and command-line apps [1], and you can put together a full pseudonymous blog on the web (coming to other clients soon).

Edit: we also run a Tor hidden service [2], which the Android app works with.

When i saw the title, i expected this post to be somebody's 'stoner philosophy' of what conciousness is. But i really like this idea. If true, it means conciousness is naturally emergent as soon as networks can be efficiently trained to represent complex enough functions. And we might not be too far away.

How do you define conciousness? Like the voice in your head? Are you saying that voice is essentially the predicted copy of you I.e. what you predict you would do in the current situation? I think this could explain why we have a concious and unconscious mind, the unconscious is the actual brain, the conscious is just our prediction of what we would do in the current situation.
Consciousness is the searchlight of attention in an AI Mind.

There are two known ways of calculating altitude on Mars: firstly by atmospheric pressure, with an arbitrary value of 6.105mb chosen (based on readings from Voyager). In 2001, a new definition was chosen, based around an ellipsoid (the Areoid) formed by imaginary sphere of the mean radius of the planet.

The effect is that the intended landing site is at an altitude of -250m, and the lowest point on Mars is at an altitude of -8200m.
Part of the reason we're getting conspiracy theories like this is probably that John Podesta conducting satanic ceremonies is kind of plausible. He (or his brother, I forget) is friends with an artist who likes to carry out elaborate ceremonies involving blood and bodily fluids, and helps fund her work (possibly stuff that's less intentionally controversial, though). While that's technically not satanic, the need to qualify the kind of blood magic he's linked to makes it hard to have a sense of what's realistic anymore.
> In the west, engineering doesn't attract those types. In other countries where its the quickest way to make buck? Hell yeah!

This is an excellent counterpoint. You're totally right that in many countries (former communist countries, particularly, as you say), STEM educated elites often were the top officials.

However, it doesn't detract from my point that in this country, we would benefit from more scientists and engineers in government.

> I think we need a bigger guild like organization with a lobby. Not some industry sponsored group either.

This may help us with professional issues, but it likely won't help our system of government.
Ask HN: What's it like coming back to Windows from OS X?
I'm at the point where I'm ready to retire from Apple. I happily switched years ago but recently realized that I'd dived in so hard to the ecosystem that disentangling is going to be really hard. I've learned looked at Linux laptops but it seems like an iffy decision unless I shell out for System76. I've been thinking more lately about coming back to Windows thanks to the Ubuntu integration.

What are your experiences here? Looking to get the experiences and suggestions of other people who've successfully gotten away from Apple.
UNIX Power Tools would be relevant and a great resource even today. When I read the paperback version long ago I was impressed by the book and by what's possible.
Ah! Brilliant, I was looking for this recently but could not find a reason why someone would make this though. Thanks!
Looks cool, I hope it works out for you!

First impressions:
From the sub-pages ("how it works" etc) you should add clearer links to the start page/maybe add a login button on those as well?

You should have some info about who you/your company are if you want people to maybe give you money (maybe that's even legally required)
As a free service we will pretty strictly enforce abuse reports and take action on them. We're using a few methods to profile users based on their github account/ssh key and other factors to block abusers once their identified. Dply servers are blocked from using SMTP ports to prevent spam.

Yes. You can create another server once the first expires but automating this process is not allowed and therefore we do not provide an API.
how will you deal with abuse? scripts to just spin and mine bit coin etc. cool project!
Mozilla have said they will adapt Web Extensions along with consulting add-on developers in order to bring along the maximum number of add-ons.

For me, if DownThemAll isn't one of them, I'll either stay with the last compatible version of firefox or, more likely switch to one of the alternatives that does support it and the others that have become such an integral part of my browsing behaviour.

I've been burned so often by the changes made in recent years, so much so that I have next to zero loyalty to them anymore. And I've been using firefox since the browser was still part of the Mozilla suite.
You did not address my previous post in any way.
Old or complex add-ons are what keep me with firefox. Will switch to qutebrowser¹ and probably chrome as my backup for what the cutie can't handle.

Thanks for the reply. Yea the rails asset pipeline integration seems an issue and Vue hot reload capability is also something I'd want workings seamlessly (not sure if that would be problematuc).

This initial release is designed to test two things.

1.) Our abuse processes. The goal in this area is to both be very strict in preventing abuse while trying to do so with as little inconvenience for legitimate users as possible and

2.) Testing the ROI. Cloud servers are really inexpensive for short periods and we will be testing conversion rates to see if the project can be self-sustaining through the added time model.
"In the last six years, (2010–2015), according to the IFR (International Federation of Robotics), US industry has installed around 135,000 new industrial robots.

Haha. Okay. I would hazard a guess that you haven't worked on real world apps then. Users will do things that you cannot predict. They will break things like never before.

I've written plenty of code that checks out against out test environment, but it'll choke on a weird thing in production. You NEED access to real data if you're going to make any progress in that scenario.

I think you'd have to defend an anti-censorship stance pretty much anywhere that's somewhat "liberal" these days. Never before in my life have I seen so much fussing 24/7 over the availability of other people's words. (Note this is subtly different from fussing over the content of other people's words, which is fine.)
The difficulty with building systems is reflected in the first section...foundations must left as an exercise for the reader. It means getting started is outside the scope of the system and requires traditional localized approaches.

There's no universal foundation. Each one is site specific and requires specific local knowledge. Generally, building one of these systems is going to be harder because it requires the foundation contractor to provide a custom interface to the super-structure (two parallel beams in this case) rather than one of the local norms.

Stepping outside of local norms reduces the available trade base, increases the likelihood of error, and usually increases costs (smaller trade base, increased complexity, increased risk).

To put it another way, getting the foundation built is not only non-trivial, it's the most uncertain portion of the building process (until you dig, you don't know what's buried) and the most critical to producing a sound structure.
With automation, it's very rare (never?) to go from white collar to blue collar. I think you can safely assume that it's white collar.

> Kind of sad to see that computers nowadays still lack what we call common sense. I mean the machine received negative altimeter data but if it had been able to just look around, it could have seen that this data was erroneous. Hell, considering the descent profile was carefully prepared, the computer should also have noticed that it was way too early to reach the ground and should have concluded that something was wrong with the altitude measure.

Well, computer vision is a different issue. Imagine you're a human sealed inside this thing, with no vision from the outside. You reach the point when the parachute's supposed to deploy, you feel something goes wrong - there's a big force, or it's in the wrong direction. Did the parachute rip off? Did it fail? You look at your two altimeters; one says that you're 3.5km up, one says that you're at almost ground level (that it's negative is a red herring I think - the probe knows the readings might be noisy and expects to handle that). What do you do?

Himpmunk uses Skyscanner's API for international flights.
I can see where they're coming from though. Today, developers need to create two versions of their extensions - one that works on Safari, Chrome and Opera (and Edge?) and one specifically for Firefox.

As the market share of Firefox is not that high, maybe extension developers eventually won't be bothered with supporting that extra version, which means Firefox extensions will be less up-to-date and there will be less of them.

That's probably a trade off they have to make, though I imagine they're aware that some add-ons won't work and that users will be annoyed by that.

Options:

1. He directly manipulated the production db (seems like they use Cassandra). Definitely doable for someone with a deep technical background, even if they spent 99% of the the past couple of years working "via other people", rather than writing the code themselves. I could easily imagine him getting database access privileges as a part of the "catching up what's happened since I left" process.

2. Reddit has built easy-to-use, e.g. web based in-house tools for editing comments - without leaving any trace of the fact that they were edited.

I guess there also a third option; that he fudged the truth (err, lied) when confessing: that he asked some developer to do the work for him: presumably while laughing and thinking they were hilarious, and then took the blame for when it was time to confess.)

I think he needs to resign. Such a dumb, irresponsible action. I don't think someone that impulsive and immature should be the the CEO of Reddit. And since he's 33 rather than 23, it's not very likely he'll much more mature within a few years.
He was referring specifically to Android's use of the Linux kernel. He was not calling Android "Linux", though I think doing so would be fair in a general sense.
