Children learn their own forms of manipulative behavior at an early age(e.g. cry to get attention or what you want), but with less logical understanding of their own wants/needs. Put children on the same level, and hold the child to the same moral standard you're trying to hold parents to and they fail completely at it. It's not a matter of the parent manipulating the innocent child, but rather the parent diverting around the child's own manipulative behaviors. Perhaps no one should be manipulative ever, but go ahead and try explaining that to someone with the cognitive and emotional maturity of a 4 year old.

In an adult-adult relationship, the two parties should be equals, with similar cognitive and emotional maturity. They should treat each other as such. This isn't always the case. Even loving seemingly healthy relationships may involve some form of manipulative behavior on both sides.

Transgressions occur all the time, in all relationships, you have you to use judgement to figure out which ones get a pass, and which ones don't.

An Essay on Writing “The Texas Stopwatch System” Screenplay
In 2010 I tried using a pair of FingerTrees, whose elements were strings, to make an in-browser text editor in JavaScript. It was visibly slow on small buffers, much slower than using a plain pair of Strings. It'd have been fine in C++, and I'm really quite surprised how bad it ended up being. Maybe JS is faster now.

Funnily enough, when looking for a job out of college I was asked what data structure I would use for a text editor in a phone screen, and answered, "a pair of finger trees." The next hour was spent trying to explain over the phone what a finger tree was. And then I was asked to pick something as simple as possible, so I answered, "an array." No, not that simple: "A cut buffer. No? How about a linked list... of character arrays of bounded size." I didn't get an onsite.

I don't mean this in a snarky way, but have you ever just left it up to him? How old is your son? I understand your thinking if his skin condition is very serious, but if it's just a matter of him being uncomfortable because he forgot, then that's the type of thing I would be totally hands-off about.
It is actually illogical. If you paid for a program and later do not accept EULA then what have you paid for? I think if you have bought a program you get the right to use it without any EULAs because that's what a purchase is. I hope other countries have more reasonable laws.

Securing the current protocol for credit card transactions is completely hopeless. It is inherently insecure because the "secret" information used to authorize a transaction is not bound to that transaction, and so it's reusable. Even if you were able to secure the system against brute-force attacks like this one, you can never secure against phishing. The only way to fix it is to change the protocol to one that relies on public-key cryptography and secure digital signatures.

No, they stated you may be biased and were eviscerated (which I interpreted to mean your views were throughly disproven). They laid out evidence that they believe points to you being wrong. Their postscript regarding being shameless is a self depreciation that applies to their self promotion, not you.

It's a fairly factual and benign set of comments to my eyes.
I am pretty sure a behaviourist in most cases would say that it is a punishment, and they would encourage you to try and switch $VALUABLE_ITEM for a "higher value object", which might be their favourite toy, a toy that squeaks or maybe even food if they are very foodie.
How many databases out there work with React Native? I think http://lokijs.org does with Forage, and (I work on) https://github.com/amark/gun people have been getting it to work with adapters. The comment below seems to suggest Couchbase Lite does too? What made you guys decide on Pouch for React Native apps?
Yeah fuck REST!!
The article shows a timeline of 40 years - I'd think both those problems tractable in that span of time.

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that more-modern farming methods like no-till leave more silage on the ground, greatly reducing the need for the addition of Ka and P. Bulk stock crops like corn are farmed with methods that are pretty effective at removing only the kernels and leaving the silage.
This was old days of visual source safe, but yeah.
SDR is fun and the way of the future. I'd say we're getting close to a very low cost SDR that also brings together usability and excellent RX/TX and filtering capability. We're not there yet and so my Kenwood TS-2000 and Yaesu 857D and 817ND still kicks the butt of low cost SDR's.

You'll find as you set up the base station your focus quickly moves to antennas. And then you become obsessed with antennas.

Definitely get into amateur satellites. http://amsat.org/status/
Go get a cheap handheld arrow dual band antenna with built-in diplexer to get started. I use macdoppler and also Ham Radio Deluxe's Satellite module. They are Mac and Windows respectively - I use them both for different things. Mostly I use macdoppler to make the doppler corrections automatically on my Yaesu 817ND and I use HRD for my TS-2000.

Also, build yourself a HF monoband dipole antenna tuned to 14.3MHZ and then listen in to the ham band from 14.00 to 14.150 for digital/cw and from 14.150 to 14.300 for voice. It'll cost you about 20 bucks for the coax and a few bucks for the wire. You don't need a balun if you're using low enough power for TX.

If you want to be a bit naughty (this is HN afterall) google around and learn about FLTSATCOM 7 and 8. It's an old US milsat that is basically an open repeater. They're geosynchronous birds that are used for encrypted comms but Brazilian criminal gangs periodically use them for free communication. They build antennas out of spare parts and use down-converters/up-converters to deal with the 250mhz frequency which is outside normal VHF/UHF. With your SDR you can build your own cheap home depot antenna and listen in without a converter. Just do absolutely not broadcast because you'll get arrested - someone already has. You can sometimes pick up used special forces directional portable antennas for a reasonable price on ebay for 250mhz.

I'm a radio amateur, callsign WT1J. If you're into this stuff and find yourself able to TX on HF or satellite, drop me a line and we can set up a schedule.

Mark.
Puzzles me, that nobody has mentioned this yet:

EU states are nation states, US states are not. The EU is not a nation, the US are.

EU states have much more sovereignty than US states written inside laws, but more importantly, through support of their people. This is why there is a Euro crisis and why Brexit happened: The unification of Europe is a beautiful idea and I personally hope it will recover, but while subsets of it were considered as one nation at some point (Austria, Germany etc.) the EU as a whole simply never was and never will be.
In the USA?

Food comes from land worked worked using tractors designed and built by engineers in cities, in many cases harvesting crops geo-engineered by biologists and chemists in cities. And to the extent that one or more of these conditions isn't true, those are often premium products made possible by demand stemming from choosey consumers mostly living in... cities.

Also, as JoeAltmaier observed, very few people employed in rural areas are actually employed in agriculture. Furthermore, many of the subsidies that are provided to rural areas have nothing to do with -- and aren't necessary for -- agriculture.

Regarding water, rural areas contribute equally to water quality problems and in many cases make highly unsustainable use of water resources -- see California for example. Also, urban areas are often near plentiful fresh water sources anyways (see: Chicago).

The fantasy of farming as a self-sufficient profession disconnected from larger economic networks and holding a privileged place among society's disparate roles is one of the most insufferable aspects of rural culture imo.

The article stated that Tesco weren't protecting against distributed card testing because they didn't track failures on the same card across different merchants. Thus I think it would be very plausible.

The people running the scam would choose a specific IIN/BIN known to suffer from this problem.
Thanks for replying, but I don't think that would work (correct me if I'm wrong).

I tried building a scraper that downloads a webpage's HTML, follows all links, and keeps going until it finds at least 3 high-resolution images (using cURL to get their size), but of course it's not feasible.

I can't spider a whole site looking for images, nor download all of them.

Unfortunately I need to find some service that has already indexed the website.
I would say "appalling" is a bit of a strong term for an industry that you're not involved in that doesn't perform a particularly critical function in society. To relay a saying often expressed on set, "We're not curing cancer."

I'll relay another joke from set:

A new Assistant Director comes on to help the second unit on Gone with the Wind. He finds the script supervisor.

AD: How much are we shooting today?

SS: One eighth of a page.

AD: You're kidding! We'll be home in an hour.

SS: I don't think so.

AD: What do you mean? What are we shooting?

SS: Atlanta burns.

The point is that it's an inherently fuzzy process, and heuristics work a lot of the time, but nobody cares about a system that works a lot of the time.

If you design something better, I'll be glad to use it (hell, I'll help you design it), but please don't be so quick to judge. It's a business of edge cases, and it's been built as such.

If it makes you feel any better, a lot of multicam shows and studio shows have switched over to all digital script distribution that's automatically distributed. But there is absolutely no replacement for a paper script for a lot of really compelling reasons.
That's so bizarre. Was he trying to create some kind of official narrative on paper that he had the knowledge and you didn't? Or was he trying to tell you to document less and hide information?

If this fairly nonstandard usage rule is significant enough to reply to someone to correct them on it, shouldn't it be listed in the guidelines?

Ask HN: Why do newsletters not work?
I run a small site to teach people to code (https://enlight.ml).

It has ~600 email subscribers. I usually send an email every week or so linking the user to any new projects which have been posted. These emails are relatively short, however, they don't drive many clicks towards the site. Why is this? Over half of them open the email, but only 8% of the list actually clicks on the links.

I've tried making the subject stand out with emojis and such, but I'm not seeing much of an interest of the site through these emails. On the other hand, however, less than 15 people have unsubscribed from the list since the site launched.

What's an alternative way to spread the word to your users? How do you guys do it?
Perhaps it's because of seeing James Burke's "Connections" when younger, but that series gives you the feeling that advances like the Haber-Bosch process are more or less required for us to continue as a species. This casts our role as that of innovator, and if the innovation stops, then to an extent, so do we.

This causes me to have to work to understand Apocalyptic stories.

The counterexample is the influence of the Mandarins on China, which created a very stable, unchanging culture that lasted for centuries.

It's been at least 30 years since we've known that we need to stop burning fossil fuels. The fact that it has taken this long to actually begin the transition reveals a terrible failure of global political leadership - and the US government is one of the worst culprits.

The cost of solar power dropped as rapidly as it did because governments - in particular the government of Germany, though others followed along with similar programs - chose to heavily subsidize solar panel installations. This stimulated a rapid increase in the level of investment in solar panel technology and in the factories which produce them, which led to a rapid improvement in both power-generation efficiency and manufacturing efficiency; the whole industry scaled up, and now we live in a world where generating electricity via solar is cost-competitive with fossil fuels, with no further need for subsidy.

The fact that "the pipeline will function for the rest of our lives" is exactly why we need to stop building pipelines. We don't have the rest of our lives to wean ourselves off this petroleum addiction. It's not about replacing the pipeline with ships or trains; it's about making petroleum expensive and inconvenient so that non-petroleum-based solutions can become more competitive. We need petroleum to become more expensive, and we need the cost to rise quickly, because that's the only way we're going to stimulate the kind of investment that will enable the kind of scale-up that will let us accomplish the enormous infrastructure reinvestment we should have started working on long ago.

Yes, it sucks for the people of North Dakota that their lifestyles are unsustainable, and it's going to be hard times ahead for them as they figure out other ways to live. It's going to suck much, much more for the many millions of people around the world on the verge of being displaced, impoverished, and probably even killed as a result of the climate change we are creating by continuing to burn petroleum products.

No, it won't happen overnight, but this is not overnight. We've known this for decades. We have already been running down the clock. We can't just magically demand more time, and more time, and more time, while continuing to do things the way our parents and grandparents did them.

If you think we can continue living this way for the rest of our lives, you really don't understand climate change. One way or another, our lives are all on the verge of changing. Do you want to choose how that change happens now, or wait til it is forced on you?
The actual way you do it in reality is to trigger it for a small percentage of high risk transactions.

My company uses Ravelin for this - we feed them lots of data, they do some kind of machine learning, and they feed us back a recommendation.

Depending on what recommendation we receive, we either let the transaction through without 3DS, block it completely, or only allow it with 3DS.
Also, what's up with those connectors on RED? Back on Red One they also had a genius idea to put the camera controls on the back of it!! So you had to dangle your battery to the side or top. It's as if they hadn't seen a movie camera before :)

> And the conventions were obviously not constructed for this purpose; they're relics of long-gone technological limitations

That's true of every single system that evolves organically, including software engineering. Or do you think all the cruft that accrues in every programming language is due to rational design?

The question isn't whether some new convention would be better, it's whether the benefit would outweigh the transition cost of either getting everyone to adopt it all at once or having crossed wires as people use different conventions at the same time.
The top 5 Business Strategies you need to know about
My feeling is that we've conquered poor soil, a pauctiy of trees, bad water, airborne disease and a list of other disasters or near-disasters that would be very long.

If we don't figure a way out of it, then we more or less deserve the outcome. We're simply the most recent apex species. There's no reason to believe we'll stay that way forever.
Ham here. WT1J. I chat with quite a few hams that run the entire age spectrum. Young and old are into SDR. The older hams use everything from super expensive commercial SDR's that come with rack mountable hardware to Ham Radio Deluxe. The younger hams use RTL-SDR and HackRF along with the pricey gear.

It really depends what you're doing. If you're contesting on RF for example, you'll find younger european hams that have HUGE budgets and build enormous multi-band yagi antenna towers and use very expensive SDR's to monitor the whole band and for excellent RX and signal discrimination capability.

Then you've got the SIGINT crowd that hang out at defcon and they'll generally use cheaper SDR's with bleeding edge software.

The HF band ragchew crowd tend to use boat anchors (old ham radios) with big amplifiers up to legal limit (1.5kw) and hang out especially on the lower frequencies like 7mhz, 3mhz and 1.8mhz. (40m, 80m, 160m in ham speak).

But generally once you get into radio you realize it's less about the base station and more about the antenna.
I live in a very poor Asian country where most every parent has never given a single thought to behavior theory or been exposed to the whole parenting industry. It's mostly just feed your kid, let them run around unsupervised with other kids outside, and have the oldest child handle certain responsibilities like getting everybody to school on time. Having worked with kids back in the US and here, the contrast in behavioral problems and social anxiety is so markedly different that it's definitely shaped the way I'll parent my own children. The kids here are much less needy and so much more confident and independent, whereas I can barely spend two minutes around a western kid without getting royally annoyed. My own parents were very hands-off and I plan to be even more so.

HN is a "common law" community. Not everything is written down in a single place; the rules evolve as they're refined and reinterpreted by the mods.

>It's OK, if you look at it as a cow to be milked until a multinational drives you out of business.

That's not a given. There are tons of entrenched companies, from web services to local restaurants, than no multinational managed to drive out of business.

In many cases the multinational had to work with them or buy them to gain a serious share into a particular country.
Fluid borders provides better competition between jurisdictions. A community would have no reason to join a higher taxrate jurisdiction unless they were getting value out of it (e.g. better schools, trains, police, etc.). That's a good thing.

Though I fully acknowledge that I'm ignoring significant issues. e.g. what if NYC drops billions on a new trainline, and then some neighborhoods benefiting from the train line switch away from NYC. Are they still obligated to pay to maintain the train line?

Things like that.
Yes that's about right. For technician's 2 meters and 70cm are by far the most popular. Just tune into a local repeater using a $50 handheld and you can chat all day. You can also use echolink and IRLP to chat world-wide via your local repeater or even connect to a repeater from your smartphone or PC.

From the article:

* the estimated number of job openings ranges from 100,000 to 350,000 (in the US), with as many as 45,000 in California.

* The job shortage is so bad that “The next president should … train 100,000 new cybersecurity practitioners by 2020,” the Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity said

* Cybersecurity can be a high stress job where you can get fired if things go wrong
It's tempting to be cynical about everything on the internet, I know, but I can vouch for Wirecutter's recommendations in 90-95% of cases. They pick decently qualified people for each review and generally go into a lot of detail so it would be difficult for them to recommend something that isn't genuinely good.
Yeah, but rich people can (have the option, not that they necessarily do it) have both ( babysitters, nannies, daycares, money, toys, rewards AND time with their children).

For many poor working people time with their children is a luxury -- but they can't even give them all the other stuff, sometimes not even decent food and shelter, much less an education.

Sometimes it's the companies that dictate standards. FD is notorious slow mover, yet it's 'an industry standard. I worked on one script with another writer. At that stage it was only two of us drafting the idea and I had a need to see what has changed in a script since I sent him my last version and vice versa. I mailed the dev of Fade In if he could just include a diff (yes, our beloved diff) somehow inside of Fade In. A day or two later it was in. I use it now constantly. Same ol' diff we're used to, kind of looks same as on github as well. Red and green lines and all.

This is an industry with lots of resources and a keen eye on new technologies. If you come up with something that optimises anything in workflow, it will come to open hands.
