I don't. by this point I've got a relatively small personal digital footprint.

Everything I need I can download again, or log back into. working out 2fa was a blessing and a curse. decoupling it from sms has been great but I do rely on a centralized service to store a theoretically encrypted backup. I'm lucky to have a pretty decent memory, so I everything else I just remember.

I guess the part that is the most frustrating is that as a result I don't really save or take many pictures. i don't backup or save any additional contacts. I don't save anything important in messaging applications. Oh, and I can't decrypt pgp communications when I'm out of the country, because like hell I'm bringing that accross the border.

I've had my encounters with law enforcement, I won't ever feel comfortable again. I'll never forget the look on their faces when they look at you like they know something super private and they find it hilarious.

CPUs mining that transaction into the blockchain will be even slower than ASICs (100M hashes/sec vs 1G h/sec). Moreover, a LOT of miners have to do this work and it doesn't clear until the last one does the work.

This is slow. It's not cheap simply because it's done on cheaper HW.
Semver doesn't preclude automating anything, does it?
I built my business by listening to customers. Do I discount a bunch of ideas that come my way? Absolutely.

But over over time you begin to develop a filter that separates really good ideas and mediocre ideas that serve a single or rare use case.

Observing is great if you have the bandwidth, but if you're a one-person-show, listen to your customers, listen to your instinct, and develop features that are going to drive revenue and push you forward.
I find it really depressing to live alone.

>Nurses, housekeepers, and lab techs crammed into a conference room where hospital administrators presented a form and told them to sign. Signing meant agreeing to submit any future employment-related complaints to an arbitrator hired by the hospital and waiving the right to sue in court. Refusing to sign meant they'd be fired.

Can you sue for wrongful termination if you get fired for refusing to sign such a waiver?
Thanks for feedback! Sometimes I have difficulties with english grammar, spanish is my native language.
It really isn't, at all. Media sources owned by companies that sell other products and services are all you need to have your media sources twist stories towards caps on liability. It doesn't matter whether you pay them or they're sponsored - or whether they're giving it away for free without sponsorship.
Well, actually, perhaps not. That's the point. Past a certain size, if you're sleazy and manipulative we're going to control your actions.

But even if, how is that "sure, but you can't legally stop them" a defense? How is it one you feel compelled to make?

Especially because I can technologically stop them. They can block one plugin, and detect one set of blocks, but it's a game we've played many times before and the defense always loses.
That "cost per transaction" chart is misleading. It includes the 25BTC per (roughly) 10 minutes that gets created and is given to the miners.

The actual transaction costs are way under a dollar, and it is, by far, the cheapest way to move the money, it's cheaper than the European SEPA, which is normally 0.9 EUR.
Yes 1M req/sec must but pretty simple, the only time I've seen those numbers were definitely not like "login calls", let me guess advertisement?
a lot of times the further the audience is from the story the more of a condensed version they get. what is front page locally ends up buried in a small available space on the other side of the country.

now getting that blurb in another paper likely requires packaging it in such a way that the word count is acceptable and the text is interesting. sadly as the count goes down the facts fall out.
I'll bite, what do you mean?
> A modern democracy simply won't stand-by while corporations cheat and injure people.

This is essentially a religious belief.
In Canada there are no voting machines for federal elections. You just get a clear ballot and a pencil. The counting is done by several people from different parties simultaneously.

The drawback is that sometimes it can take hours to count the votes.
That limitation is healthy. If versions 1.1 and 1.2 of a class exist and I'm foolish and determined enough to use both in the same process (via multiple classloaders), Java will still ensure that I can't accidentally give a 1.1 instance to a callee expecting a 1.2 instance, or vice versa. Version mismatches at call sites fail quickly and loudly with classloading exceptions.

I think a hell of a lot of NPM packages only appear to work by accident, and over time they'll fail because of sloppiness about this.
>probably who i vote for

Something in the news actually changed who you would vote for?

>where i put my money/investments

Okay, granted.

>whether or not i sold my company 2 years ago

You sold your company because you saw something in the news? And if you didn't watch political news you would still own it? Sorry, but I have hard time imagining how that worked.

>in the next 2 years, it's going to 100% determine where i live.

If you know in advance that something will determine where you live, it's by definition not something you need to watch news for. You can just wait for two years and run a search for the info you need.
well the democrats and republicans agree on this now. I support voter id laws, even india has it.
I've seen it repeated many times that GC has higher latency, but is there a benchmark? Imagine writing a Mac app, once with refcounting, and once with GC, and seeing which one has the longer pause time.

I can think of cases where GC has better latency, like deallocating a huge linked list. That will introduce a higher latency with refcounting and with manual deletion (like C) compared to GC, where the main thread doesn't need to block while traversing the list. Or does such a case not happen much in practice?
Maybe tho OP will appreciate the time someone took to correct their grammar. There was no malicious inclination or abuse behind the post. The corrections didn't include something like "far out your grammar is bad, learn how to write proper English". Now that would have been rude and uncalled for.
I used to work in the real estate development industry. The best returns are almost always made on increases in land value. Who exactly captures that profit can vary a lot. Sometimes it's land speculators who buy land cheaply on the outskirts of growing cities. Other times it's developers who buy a large parcel cheaply and then develop it slowly until by the end it's a much more desirable place for a lot of people and they can sell sell product at premium prices but with a very low land basis cost. More often than not it's property owners - typically REITs for multifamily and office buildings - who benefit from price increases. And they can profit enormously from speculating and trading properties.

In a lot of ways the US real estate market is similar to luxury consumer goods markets. People are willing to pay a big percent of their income to live in SF or NYC because those cities have a strong brand. There's a perception of value that goes above and beyond quantifiable quality of life measures. It's not radically different from how people will pay a premium for an iPhone over an arguably equal or better Android phone. Landowners and homeowners can benefit from owning property in a location that commands a brand premium not unlike shareholders in a company.
why is there like, no contrast on the map? i can barely infer each state's percentage without doing a comparison game to see which color it falls in.
That is the point. It doesn't convey intent. Outside of the "major versions could break." Which is somewhat worthless.

Consider, you are using a library that expose ten objects and functions. It is on version 1.2.8. it upgrades to 1.2.9. What do you do? You take the upgrade. Usually no questions asked.

It upgrades to 1.3.0, but only to add an eleventh function. What do you do? Probably take it, because you don't want to be behind.

It upgrades to 2.0. reason is "things have changed.". However, they kept the same function names. You think you can make the upgrade fine. Because, well they have the same names. However, you can't know, because some body thought it wise to reverse arguments of some functions. Which thankfully, is a compile time fail. What else changed, though?

Consumers may want to use a different version.

Perhaps they want a newer one (bug fix, security fix).

Perhaps they want an older one (since another dependency was tested against an older version of the dep in question).

Semver gives you a way to decide what ranges of versions should be safe to move between in order to satisfy all of those occasionally conflicting requirements.
There's an easy fix for that: allow unprivileged applications to create symbolic links, but by default, only allow applications to access/follow symbolic links owned by 1) the same user that owns the target file, 2) the user the current process runs as, or 3) an administrator. Since people currently can't usefully use symlinks at all except as an adminstrator, that should not introduce any compatibility issues.

Linux has a similar protection mechanism (/proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks), though it only applies to sticky world-writable directories like /tmp.
It's not. I use bitcoin to pay for a few online services, including my hosting. I love it. It would be absolutely awesome if bitcoin succeeded, even if the price remained the same (I know it's mathematically impossible, but still). A currency that no single government/entity can stop or freeze. A currency that no government can dilute. It's kind of like digital gold, except the amount of gold in the universe is practically unlimited.
On the other hand, you may want to set `now` to return a deterministic time value when testing, which the variable allows.

It's normal to live with your parents into your 30s in many countries. Italy, for example. People often wait until they can buy their own house to move out.
In practical terms, are there even many cases where cycles are desirable? The only case I can think of is threads (two threads communicating with each other). Most cycles I have seen even in GC'd languages were bad designs.
Indeed. It would be one thing if he had similar plots of non-crypto-currency market cap. over time, but as far as I can tell this graph is completely unique to bitcoin.
I don't like a single style they offer. 95% of them seem to be those plastic hipster frames which look terrible on my face.
Would you rather see your store of value increase in value or get devalued?

The beauty of Bitcoin is that it behaves like a successful stock, but also as a successful currency.
That article offers low quality evidence, and is in no way concrete unless you have confirmation bias.
As someone holding 0 BTC, 15,400% makes me smack my forehead so hard you can barely understand.

That said, for people with 0 BTC who are licking their lips: "beware, past performance is no guarantee of future results" is a truism in finance. Make sure you understand everything you invest in.
> I have a fool-proof way to do this yourself.
Use a mirror and a ruler. Place the ruler on the mirror and stare with your left eye into that same eye's mirror image, such that the ruler's 0 tick is centered on the pupil. Then, open your right eye and close the left. Stare into your right eye across the ruler and note the millimeters. Flip back to the left eye to make sure you haven't moved from zero.

Damn, that's really clever. How did you come up with that?
Yeah, their interpretation of the data is wrong. 25% of high sachool only educated adults do not live st home. Instead, out of the universe of adult people that live at home 25% are only college educated. A big difference.
Yeah, there's that :)
Alright, time to get this off my chest:

I've been around this culture for a long time. I was on Slashdot, Digg, Reddit, and now HN. I've ascended in NetHack more than 10 times (and beaten a bunch of other Roguelikes as well). I've heard about the Infocom games repeatedly over the years.

I've tried to play Zork several times and I just don't get it. Every single time I end up in the maze of twisty little passages and I give up. What am I supposed to do? I tried dropping various objects as breadcrumbs and mapping the damn thing on graph paper... well, it turns out to be non-Euclidean. WTF is that? Is this tedious, bizarre exercise supposed to be fun? Will somebody help me get it?
Great article, lots of tools I didn't know of. Can you provide more info about where I can get that 2g chip outside the states? Sounds very useful to use a service like that.
Also, can you expand a little bit more about the slack integrations? I can't imagine something more than simple notifications for services like github, but you described it as it "changed your life", so I'm assuming you found ways to automate your daily life with integrations.

Some pretty interesting ideas put out in the discussion. These stood our for me.

- Do products in collections get more upvotes on average?
- What are 2016's tagline trends vs. 2015 and 2014 (e.g., are we seeing less "uber for" and more "AI for")

> Laws like this are silly, horrible, and have no place in a democracy. Even disgusting speech ought to be defended.

I agree. Furthermore, to the best of my knowledge I would guess these cases would not hold up to the scrutiny of the supreme court, if they were ever brought there.

As a non legal expert, my reading has been that the Supreme Court usually has, at least in the past, set a very high bar in ruling against free expression, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoirs_v._Massachusetts

Maybe someone has a more educated opinion than I, though.

I really don't want to see our Bill of Rights torn apart. As one user said here, they have a theory these policies serve a purpose to acclimate us to a new kind of authoritarian government. I have a lot of personal family pride in fighting for civil and human rights, and I am personally troubled by what seems to be an ever-steady march towards 1984, if we're not already there.

> Canada, the UK and NZ (edit: and Australia, where someone was, I believe, jailed for having "Simpsons porn" on his computer) are places that I know have laws like this.

By the way, NZ is particularly outrageous and ridiculous with these laws. What I find particularly bemusing is that while in NZ has they can ban a book for mainstream sexual content with little quarrel, Auckland has a visible prostitution market. I'm not necessarily saying one thing or another about prostitution, but I think it says something about the recklessness with free speech there. Their failed War on Drugs is also outrageous, arguably the highest per-capita WoD programs in the world, and is expanding.
Doesn't look too pretty, ugly in parts. Something strange about it. The ARN business looks very suspicious.

Consistent with the Tim Bray blog article saying the validator's "implementation is kind of gross."

It's important to discuss. There is a lot of stuff out there that screams snakeoil about MCT and coconut oil products, and it can have the effect of both discouraging legit research and duping the dupable.

If there were only a way to test medical hypothesis like hacking on code. Maybe a platform to crowdsource data for experiments then control for factors and double blind it.
I think he means you have to be careful with that kind of bitcoin wealth, especially if you store your bitcoins yourself. All it takes is one criminal to find this out, and there will be all kinds of people trying to get it. It's pretty trivial to break into someone's apartment and torture you till you give up your bitcoins.
Mining doesn't work this way at all. I'm not sure how else to say it.
I really despise those "I received this product at a discount for my honest review" reviews. "Honest review" my ass. Anyone who gets any kind of compensation for their review (even if only in the form of products or discounts) can not be trusted.

To compound the problem, the seller can see the past reviews of prospective reviewers, and pick those who've tended to give positive "honest reviews". This skews the reviewing even further off.

I've never ever seen an "honest review" that the reviewer made of a product they got at a discount that wasn't a positive review. Never.

Amazon's discount review program should be terminated. Only people who've paid full price for their products and have received no compensation of any kind should be allowed to do reviews.

The only universe where large scale fraud is happening but being hidden by Republicans and Democrats is one where third parties are, in fact , getting much more of the vote

Considering the polls (no, the polls weren't that wrong for the election results, the analysis was).... the only way we are in this universe is if all polling organisations are also in on this.

Considering states + cities run elections, this would mean several tens of thousands of people would need to be in on this plot too.

A conspiracy which requires conplicity of tens of thousands of stakeholders seems a bit unlikely.

There's an alternative "many independent conspiracies " view, but smaller conspiracies would be more fragile to single whistleblowers. If one congressman were winning through vote fraud, one person with a bit of evidence would be enough for there to be real coverage (unless the media's in on it, but see prev. paragraph)
You missed my point. I am an engineer. When I was younger I, too, wasted lots of time optimizing the irrelevant. Didn't fix a thing.

The ACA/Obamacare doesn't have a healthcare.gov traffic problem, it has a "it's a piece of shit" problem.

Of course, this is not the purview of engineers working on healthcare.gov. The point there is that we all get excited about building monuments to technology while completely forgetting the problem that had to be solved in the first place.

Someone will invariably say something like "20 million people have insurance now that they didn't have before!" or some other fabricated number. Let me address that now.

First. The President of the United States of America promised ME and my family that we could keep our plan, our doctor and, on top of that, we would save $2,500 a year. No need for a link, it's all over YouTube. He made that promise dozens of times.

I don't care of one or a hundred million people got insurance. The POTUS made a promise to families. If someone in business made such a promise and then reality was exactly opposite, in an unbelievably grotesque way, the smallest lawsuit for breach of contract and fraud would have them curl-up into a fetal position and cry.

Oh, yeah, and the rich part is that they stick the IRS on us. You know, the Gestapo-like, most-feared, we-can-ruin-your-fucking-life agency in the US now has hooks into your healthcare. And this is OK, how?

The POTUS lied to all of us. Period. The fact that there are people with insurance now is irrelevant. My family is playing the equivalent of a home mortgage for health insurance. How could anyone even remotely tolerate this from our elected officials.

Now, to address the "insured".

Most of these people have been shoved into Medicaid. The magic pill that solves it all, right?

I am not going to go into a long explanation. ACH/Obamacare represents the largest theft of personal property in the history of this nation. Why? Here, go learn something:

https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/eligibility/estate-recover...

Short version: These "insured" have signed over their personal assets to the government. All care they receive --by law-- requires reimbursement and the government is REQUIRED by law to recover costs.

Wonderful, isn't it? So many people now have insurance! So many people who have no clue the government just sunk their hooks into their estate. What a country!

I don't particularly like Trump but I hope he shreds Obamacare to little pieces, it is nothing less than the largest criminal act ever perpetrated on the American people.
Technically it would have been in the original C complier written for the original unix by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie, and been compiled in every complier and login utility since the 70s. At this point try finding a complier that doesn't trace is compiling lineage at some point reach back to a complier compiled by a complier that doens't eventually reach back to it may be pretty hard.

California, the most expensive state to live in according to the map that they linked, pokes a big hole in their cost of living argument. It has a lower % of people living with their parents than their national average and approximately the same % as the least expensive state, Iowa.

The 5 most expensive states to live in are 20th, 5th, 3rd, 8th, and 9th in their table. There is a tie for 6th in the linked cost of living ranking and those states are 2nd and 46th in their table. The 5 least expensive states to live in are 21st, 37th, 40th, 30th and 47th. So while cost of living is clearly a factor, it doesn't tell the whole story.
Torture? It's possible but I'd lay long odds that in most cases a targeted phishing or malware attack would be both easier and cheaper — and far less likely to get a serious law-enforcement response. Someone being held captive for money would make the national news and the perpetrators would have a tough time heading for the nearest country without an extradition treaty; “rich guy shouldn't have clicked on that link” might not even make the local news.

Perhaps the most formally specified JSON-addressing dense declarative syntax is JSON Pointer (RFC 6901), but it's very limited: it only has exact index selectors, an end-of-array selector, and an exact object name selector. Still, given how JSON-Patch (RFC 6902) depends on it, it may be worthwhile to pursue a notation that extends it formally.
