Don't think it is a standard, looks like work in progress.

Imho a bit short notice to publish something like that Nov. 30th. Just at the time when they had to start advertising the leap second in NTP (or not advertise it where smearing). Not sure but somehow it sounds in draft-ietf-ntp-bcp-02 that that clients may need attention.

Clients that are connected to leap smearing servers must not apply
the "standard" NTP leap second handling. So if they are using ntpd,
these clients must not have a leap second file loaded, and the
smearing servers must not advertise that a leap second is pending.
Without https MANY places will silently MITM your connection. I remember reading that a major site, I think netflix, was having a low consistent level of page load failures and couldn't figure it out.

When they went to HTTPS all the problems went away, apparently the culprit was code and HTML injected into their pages by

1) wifi hotspots - this is REALLY common, how do you think they redirect you to their login page?

2) content filters like sonicwall - I used to work in an IT consulting shop, these are EVERYWHERE. And they don't just filter, they record every page of every site you visit. Expect any non-residential wifi to be reading all of your non-encrypted traffic.

3) crappy ISP's trying to serve ads

4) bad actors on public wifi - this is common at the airport, meeting halls, and conventions. Even encrypted wifi is vulnerable as long as the attacker is on the same network (if they have wireless isolation off, which most places do for printers).

> The arrogance of thinking that a small handful of elites should "run things" for the stupid commoners dates back

Not sure if you're calling me arrogant or not, by all means I'm all for a new society in which people govern themselves as much as is technologically possible.

I believe that the system of 'elites' has been taken to an extreme globally and is one of the main reasons for the dire state of the whole system, including climate change, pollution, financial bubbles, etc.

What I'm saying though is that the 'old' system is built to perpetuate itself - they have power - military, police, justice...

And they won't give it up for some shiny new ideas, even if it means self-destruction.
The war to continue building New Large-Scale Fossil Fuel Infrastructure continues...we're supposed to spinning this down for the planet to remain habitable...Instead we have tax-payer subsidized security to bring new stuff online. We are insane.
There are few things more destructive than a serious spacecraft crash.
I cancelled my NHL.tv subscription because they subjected me to team/region blackouts despite _literally living in another continent_. Was a total waste of money - it could have been great.
Not sure if that makes sense with the offer that Amazon has. The machines are huge, so either you're pricing a huge amount of options at a very high speed (which you'd probably do in-house with FPGAs that you own), or you'll be much cheaper using a good machine locally. Never found MC sims to be a bottleneck regarding time, but YMMV I guess?
I wish. Flashlights tend to have all sorts of strange UIs, just like television firmware are just exploring the possible ways of being annoying.

None of mine have both a way of getting full power fast /and/ deterministically turning it on on the lowest setting.

(Except for the one that only has 'very bright' and where I first wondered why there is no rebound when I turn it on.)
Regional content is definitely a thing in the UK - with regional ITV franchises and things like BBC Scotland - they do "local" news items in additional to national news and produce local content.
I bought a $360 Thinkpad w520 quad core mostly to see if I could move from linux in VMs to it being a daily driver. That was two weeks ago. I'm amazed at how well it works: this laptop has a nightmare graphics setup (Nvidia Optimus) but it works very well when you pick a card in the bios; the Optimus setup doesn't work very well. On the other hand, it isn't even supported in Windows 10: I tried it anyway, and it keep crashing. Meanwhile, Ubuntu 16.04 is a revelation (I mostly used Linux Mint in the VMs). Fast, very stable, 7 hour battery on integrated graphics, works with one DP monitor (haven't tried two yet, waiting for a docking station to arrive). I use it for development, VMs and RDP, fantastic experience so far. To my amazement, Wine can even run Excel & Word (2010). I have never got Office working in Linux before, this is quite amazing, although ultimately not very useful since it seems to run Windows VMs better than my 2015 i7 mac (which is only dual core), and LibreOffice is almost different software on Linux vs the mac, it's so much better. Ubuntu is really good to use, it's very fast to move around apps and workpaces, great keyboard shortcuts. There are a lot of moving parts but it seems to hang together.
Plus my bluetooth magic trackpad worked. So I'm probably going to get an entrylevel quad-core P50 in the next month or two, and sell the macbook; I think I'll finish ahead, so I'll put the change towards a good Chromebook.
I'm not so optimistic. FitBit's business model is to distinguish price bands by software features like printer manufacturers. Pebble's is to provide the same experience, enhanced by better hardware to everyone. Pebble still do this at a pricepoint near the entry-level FitBits.

I can't imagine FitBit wanting to continue to keep a competitor that would let third parties de-value the premium features with an open SDK.
It sounds like we largely agree. When I speak of arrogance, I'm referring to the advocates for the existing system and especially the "elites" who rule things. Just pointing out that this whole debate has been going on for a very, very long time now.
What kind of additional chart types are you looking for? I'm building a power pivot like desktop tool and find people often would like more variety of chart types besides bar, line, scatters and heatmaps, but I can't determine if it's because of aesthetics or there is analyses they can't perform with standard charts.

I am not surprised that IRS needs to work with coinbase to find tax evaders but a `John Doe summons` ?

Again, I fail to see any legal rational in the court's verdict. This is a bad precedent and I seriously hope Coinbase gets support from other tech giants to take it to Supreme Court. This clearly seems like violation of 4th amendment.

I have no doubt that Gmail will be next.
How to run your startup like Pablo Escobar!
My son will soon be a teenager. He has little interest in watching TV. His default is to go to YouTube and check what's new.

Cable TV was an improvement on over-the-air broadcast networks. It's had a good run, but serves little purpose today, being inferior in all ways to the internet. It's just not worth $70, $100, or $140 a month. Our bills rose and rose until we shut it off completely and permanently - there are limits, and TV executives don't seem to understand that.
> But I have to admit, I’d never thought much about the next analog of hydrogen peroxide. Instead of having two oxygens in there, why not three: HOOOH? Indeed, why not? This is a general principle that can be extended to many other similar situations. Instead of being locked in a self-storage unit with two rabid wolverines, why not three? Instead of having two liters of pyridine poured down your trousers, why not three? And so on – it’s a liberating thought. It’s true that adding more oxygen-oxygen bonds to a compound will eventually liberate the tiles from your floor and your windows from their frames, but that comes with the territory.

Ask HN: How do I learn to use Powerpoint well?
I work a job that uses Powerpoint both for traditional presentations (talk in front of slides) and documentation (here's a 10 slide presentation covering X that you read yourself).

I don't pick the format, I am aware of all the disadvantages, I have read Tufte, Powerpoint is the tool I will be using for this.

I am looking for a method to learn how to use PP quickly (shortcuts, best practices, features to avoid) so I can put things together quickly that look decent. The vast majority of online content on this is extremely basic or focused on presentation skills - I am looking to learn the software. Something like Joel Spolsky's "You Suck At Excel" talk, but for Powerpoint.

Articles, MOOCs, video, whatever will be fine. Thanks.

Release the Game
The new States library is really a new implementation of Effects. It works in pretty much the same way, but emphasising the thing that the Effects library is best at and fixing some of its shortcomings.

There are two main differences at the moment:

- Everything has to be labelled
- There's no 'implicit' lifting of smaller sets of states

The first is annoying for things like Console IO, so I might change that. The second means that we have a much better chance of providing decent error messages, one day.
ptrace() isn't undocumented, it has a fairly long manpage: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/ptrace.2.html

It's certainly pretty hairy, but on the other hand only a handful of programs (debuggers, strace, similar debug type tools) are ever going to need to use it.

I suspect the result would be more like allowing newspaper comment sections to run the world. People don't have the knowledge, responsibility or involvement for this. Engagement will be low, and therefore the system will be taken over by cranks. Local councils already suffer minor versions of this problem.

I'm reminded of the UK's "Police and Crime commissioners", an attempt at getting democratic involvement in policing who get elected on turnouts of 15%.

They already have to make all these decisions for accounts suspended for non-payment (expired CC, etc). This would just add the option for customers that would prefer to be locked out rather than have unexpected charges.

It's in the article. This all happened in one single day, while the train company was still compiling the extra data.
The blue light were brighter - they have a mechanism different from the old LEDs that is much more efficient. I guess the designers just dropped in the blue leds, and voilá, terrible bright lights.

The other colors later followed suit - the brightness you now get with a few mA is amazing when you know the old LEDs.
Another thing to keep in mind is that with everything being immutable you end up with a pure language. Once that happens, the compiler starts being able to perform some really nice rewrites of your code really easily. The problem is that this is all or nothing - unless your language is actually pure you can't do this.

That does not work because most infrastructure needs to be subsidized because it's too expensive for the users of it. A good example is a road up a mountain where only 15 people live. The cost of that road would always be too high for those people.
I've heard (although admittedly never seen in practice) that some places take a long time for this sort of things (running over a cluster of computers overnight). If you could do the same job on a single F1 instance in say an hour then I think that would be compelling! Bearing in mind that simple experiments I did showed an improvement of around 100x for this sort of task over a GPU.
The page has too few information. Do you have any company that is going to "hire" someone? Who will get my email?

Without more information, it looks like subscribing to a recruiter spamming list.
I like the idea of being able to choose where taxes are spent, but maybe not in totality. If people choose for the whole attribution, they'll certainly spend everything in healthcare when them or one of their family member will be sick, then on infrastructure when they'll want to make a road trip, etc. But totally agree that people should have a bigger role to play in governments decisions.

That being said, thinking having a central government is the problem is extreme. Your examples and suggestions simply demonstrate we need more democracy, not less government.

EDIT: yeah, thinking about it twice, it definitely needs to be only a part of the taxes you can choose where to allocate, and thus some kind of administration to decide about the rest. Think about this scenario:

You live in a country where unemployment is high and sickness are low. People will naturally spend most of the budget in reforms allowing for more jobs, because they, or people they know, are unemployed. But there are sick people, with no budget. If the amount sick people pay in tax is enough to heal them, that's ok. Now, imagine it costs more, like, you need expansive medicine to cure a virus. People will still invest in job reforms, until they hear about a big epidemic that threatens them. Only then will they start to allocate taxes to healthcare, which will cost way more because the epidemic will be already there.

With no fixed budgeting failsafe, such a system will naturally create a lot of epidemics, and other problems caused because small problems are not fixed early enough. Also, those who have rare problems are screwed and will fall first, so you'll probably having a less creative and risk taking society.
Because, well, Dutch is kind of a glorified German dialect ;)

Just kidding, but German and Dutch share a close, common "ancestor" language, closer than any other Germanic languages. I used to have a professor at Uni who would always repeat, that a language is a dialect with an army, which kind of hits the spot.
Yes, exactly. And "this code has a mathematical error in it" is often interesting, often non-trivial, and often has probability 1 (and often probability 0).

And these things are exactly the sort of thing that "differ from [trivialities about triangles] only in degree of complexity".

Note that "all triangles have 3 sides" is probably an axiom, but "all triangles have less than 11 sides" is a trivial theorem.
Wii U is an 1.24GHz 3-core PowerPC cpu, with 2GB RAM, dual GPU (one of which is radeon-based), 8GB or 32GB eMMC ROM, SD slot, USB ports, HDMI video out and wifi and bluetooth.

I got mine for $80 (they sell for very cheap without the gamepad).

Considering it has been almost fully hacked, I think it's a good candidate for a cheap AmigaOS platform.

I launched “Circle point” game and I would appreciate to hear your thoughts
Y'all crazier than a rabid squirrel!

To answer the original question: the article is explicitly humorous whike also using the correct language for the topic. It's meant to be "harder to read" as a way to add a layer of wordplay.
I recently worked on "Circle point" a simple and I would say challenging game. The game idea is simple: 1. You have a simple circle that increases and decreases continuously. 2. Whenever your circle is above some point - tap to collect! 3. Don't let points disappear. 4. And don't tap when there is no point on your circle. That's it! I would appreciate any feedback! Thank you!

Are you referring to the divorce or the taxes?

In terms of taxes, if you are hiring all those people, banks and lawyers to deal with it for you, I do wonder what the actual amount of hours it takes for this person to manage things. 3 hours a week? Slightly more or less? I wonder what the return on that time works out to be.

The article also alludes to the fact that most of this stuff seems to be in a legal grey area, like driving over the speed limit or something.

Principal type-schemes for functional programs, Annotated by Eric Lippert
Take journalism. You can purchase digital only for this much money, or you can purchase a digital + paper subscription for some amount more. Maybe even a premium subscription like the New York Times has with the crossword puzzle.

Why can't sports teams do that? Buy paper tickets for individual games for some amount. Buy digital access for individual games for some other amount. Buy digital season passes for another amount. Buy paper ticket season passes, includes digital season passes. Pre-order your digital season pass before the team goes to pre-season training and get a voucher for a free bleachers seat for one of the games. If you have a digital season pass, pay a premium to use an app which lets you decide which camera to watch through, control over rewinds, etc. Pay another premium to get get a version of the game, a week after it happened, with audio commentary tracks from the coaches and players.

It's not that hard, and honestly, they'd probably get even more money from the die-hard fans than they're getting now. The executives are just stuck in the stone age.

Agreed. Don't forget to ship them out of season foods produced through wasteful industrial processes with special oil-linked subsidies, regularly re-clothe them in garments from the other side of the world, and sell them needless nick-knacks from China. Better yet, let's make sure nothing at all lasts so we have to throw it out and buy new ones.

(Non-sarcasm: IMHO government could do many things - tax irreparable goods heavily, subsidize low-transport or low carbon production solutions, add sustainability to national education syllabuses, fund national and international networks of alternate energy transportation systems (starting with trains and boats), reward repairs, and heavily dis-incentivize fiscal middle-men for venture funding.)
I would add not to use LSD alone - have a sober 'trip sitter' with you. If things take a negative turn, they might be able to turn it back around, or at least calm you down and stop you doing anything silly.

>That fact that you can't call it the Jewish lobby is exactly the squeamishness I'm referring to.

There's a pretty good reason for that apprehension. You're asserting that Jewish interests have disproportionate influence in American foreign policy. We know this is a stalking horse for claims of Jewish influence in other circles of society.

At that point, you're not "simply asking questions", you're promoting anti-Semitic propaganda.

The Jewish lobby and the Zionist lobby are two separate things.
what some are passing over is, while its a form of speech in parts of America, it along with the general tone of his article, are all parts of the humor wrapped around a very serious subject.

Chrome has gained hold because too many ignorant developers have recommended it in their circles instead of FF.

Google has used its services to aggressively push people towards Chrome with banners, degraded service etc.

>Fitbit, too, has experienced its own challenges. The company priced its shares at $50 a go when it listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2015, but today it is trading at $8.40. That depression is largely down to less-than-impressive financial results.

It seems like the values atributed to these companies/assets are random numbers.

I can understand that in technology related companies even a strong appreciation (or depreciation) is possible in a short period of time, but there must have been some initial overestimation in these cases.

CTRL-F: Find string in file (ESC to exit search, arrows to navigate)

It's available in a lot of well-used distros: https://pkgs.org/search/kilo but doesn't look like it's in Arch, etc.

Ctrl-x Ctrl-s Save the current file.
Ctrl-x Ctrl-c Quit.

Ctrl-x c Create a new buffer
Ctrl-x n Move to the next buffer.
Ctrl-x p Move to the previous buffer.
Ctrl-x b Select buffer from a list

M-x Evaluate lua at the prompt.
Ctrl-r: Regular expression search.

but the goal would be to have that available in a package manager in a default install, so that after logging into any server where I'm a sudoer, I could:

sudo apt-get install some_package
sudo yum -y install some_package
pacman -S some_package
