"I’m afraid that my idea get stolen"

You should find someone trustworthy and share it with them. I've had a few ideas which I think can be turned into huge companies - at first I was afraid to share, and after sharing, first with friends and family, and later with my university's startup office, I realized that no, they aren't interested in stealing your idea (the startup office actually advised the largest startup in the country, and they obviously didn't steal the idea, even though it wasn't too hard to duplicate on paper).

Obviously don't divulge it to people who can become competitors (like people here) before having executed at least a bit.

Nobody will be as enthusiastic as you. Heck, you'll have to explain your idea over and over, and shout it to the four corners of the earth once you want to start selling!

I don't know what the startup scene is in Germany, but if you're in a large city, there are hacker spaces, coworking spaces, meetups, etc. Not knowing anyone shouldn't be a problem, it would be ideal if you can enter a hackathon and establish some rapport and work together.

Speaking from experience, you have to be willing to work hard to make it succeed - my own project is languishing because I don't put in the hours (I work 10 hours a day). But put yourself out there, and validate early. Get it in front of customers.

I hired a freelance programmer and it didn't go all that well due to different expectations of his commitment. It would be great if you can build a crude prototype yourself.
They probably reproduce the phages inside bacteria.
How can I use Signal (on iOS) without giving it access to all of my contacts?

When I've looked, there've been dozens of co-branded products and far fewer classics/free-form sets. Some of the bulk brick buckets have been unavailable when I've shopped for my son locally.

But yes, that Creator line is great. I think the 3-in-1 sets especially are very good. My 3-4 yo son loves those. e.g., https://shop.lego.com/en-AU/Vacation-Getaways-31052

Especially when the 3 options are quite diverse; in this case a campervan, a house and a boat. The campervan is particularly clever.
Interesting - I never drive myself and I feel far more nervous about being in a car than my driver friends. I think there'd be confounding factors about who drives though. Perhaps you want to measure whether people who sometimes drive feel a significantly different level of safety when driving or being driven?
I think "[keyword]" is meant as a placeholder for either "Alexa" or "Hey Google".
Wouldn't a cooperative event loop handle that? You divide CPU time between event handlers, so one event handler can't block others.
>I hurl all this garbage at Google and now I'm better off because....

I'm a more obscure/difficult target for hackers and social engineers.

There is no single IT security solution, and there is no 100% security. But the more layers you have against the many different attack vectors the more secure your identity is. This tool is but one layer.

If you left footprints everywhere you went in meatspace, criminals could use that information to own you.

This is a tool which obfuscates the footprints you leave on the web.
It worked, you found a vulnerability.
> It's entirely possible for a "publicity bubble" to cause all this.

Possible, but also staggeringly unlikely. Occam's Razor suggests it's a shit place to interview, nothing more complicated necessary.
Of course, all of this is true. It makes the life of a developer marginally easier. Unless there are edge cases where Babel and browser-native functionality differs.

Either way, WebRTC and Service Workers would allow us to expose totally new functionality to users. Huge difference.
I'm oft reminded:

Revenue solves everything
Wouldn't that kill the bacteria though?
This is basically what happens in third-party tools. For example if you use 7-Zip on Windows to unzip multiple archives, there is only one progress window and progress bar, and it will display the names of each archive being extracted one after another.
People know they're statistically safe when they go to a scary movie or a haunted house too. Fear is a primal emotion, not weighed to meaningful statistics.

Airline passengers are trapped in a cramped, shaking metal tube 30,000 feet in the air. I'm surprised fear of flying isn't more common.
Watching Amazon reps try to sugar coat everything in this thread is hysterical. I've heard bad things from several people I know who worked there briefly. Good to see this article and confirm I'll never apply there.
This deserves a black bar (IMO)

John Glenn was very influential on me as a student. He gave a talk at my high school about how learning as much as you could prepared you for the unexpected. He certainly put that to the test (as all of the astronauts then and now) do. The stakes are high, the resources limited, and time for a solution is finite. God speed John Glenn.
I hear it runs on maple syrup.
What about on iOS? Couldn't the libraries that are used on iOS do the same?
So? The post is meant for immediate consumption.
Never once in the whole article do you mention what your app actually does.

Maybe that was a marketing ploy to try and get the reader to seek it out on the app store, to find out. If so, it didn't work (on me)
I was wondering two things about ReMarkable:
1. Is there a possibility that ReMarkable (once bought and the feature becomes available) syncs to e.g. Dropbox
2. How large is the current cloud size and is it free of charge (not just like apple that keeps moaning to sell more quota)
I don't know about that. I can usually tell when I'm on a regional. The equipment is different, and the planes smaller. There may be one or two regional airlines that fly major-grade equipment like B737s, but my experience has been that they fly different equipment.
Could you provide something that backs up these claims?
Amazon connections between regions are owned by Amazon. Only last mile traffic would need to go to an Exchange.
Yes, for government entities, but the rest of the comments here are talking about businesses, which are going to be the primary consumers of AWS in Canada. There's probably many more requirements that would be needed to be met for any cloud provider to be used for governments.

I don't believe any provinces have requirements on border crossing, and there's no federal requirement on data sovereignty at all for private corporations.
Um, Bernie? He was quite pro-labor, he just couldn't get enough votes to beat Clinton.

Then again, neither could Trump, but here we are.
Wow that is bad.
It didn't do that after I googled a few images
Porn?

I'm serious. The Porn industry has been leading technical changes and innovations more often than not.
I've read the book, and Kranz definitely says at least once that the phrase "failure is not an option" is a good summary of what the flight controllers believed. Could you perhaps elaborate on what you mean by your comment?
I second the black bar.
I always thought I would be working on crypto or IoT or interesting products that would add something new to the world.

I guess it just was a shock to wake up to world of contractors maintaining legacy applications in JavaEE or PHP.
John Glenn was a true American hero.

He was a U.S. Marine fighter pilot who flew 59 combat missions over the South Pacific during WWII and 63 combat missions during the Korean War. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism or extraordinary achievement six times! In Korea, he got the nickname "magnet ass" because he attracted so much enemy flak on his missions.

Oh yeah, and then he went on to become a test pilot, the first American to orbit the Earth, a five-term U.S. senator, and the oldest man to ever enter space.

If you're ever looking for someone for your kids to look up to, this is the man.
Mike replied to a comment about JWT's on the blog. Figured I'd also add it here for good measure.

Feel free to continue the discussion in the comments section of our blog.[1]

"
JWT's are great. That's why they are used extensively in the OpenID Connect spec. The question is what's in that JWT? What are the claims? How do you know that the JWT that you got back in the response relates to the request you sent (i.e. Connect defines the nonce)? How do you know that the access token has not been modified (i.e. Connect defines the at_hash)? How do you know the code has not been modified (i.e. Connect defines the c_hash). How do you securely send the request? How does your client register and obtain tokens?

So yes, the puck is going towards JWT... but that's like saying the puck is going to JSON/REST... If you are using OAuth2 to authenticate a person, and you are using JWT, then you will have to define a lot of details to do so securely. Instead of making up your own recipe (which you probably don't have the time to do...), leverage the best practices defined by the experts at Google and Microsoft.

I know exactly what you mean. "Half" "of" "my" "searches" "look" "like" "this" "these" "days".

The lesson from this would be: when creating a network protocol, always start the stream or packet with a magic number, in both directions. If the magic number doesn't match, drop the packet or close the connection.

In fact, one could say that these are HTTP's magic numbers: 'HTTP/' for the response, and a few ('GET ', 'HEAD ', 'POST ', 'PUT ', and so on) for the request. IIRC, one trick web servers use to speed up parsing a request is to treat the first four bytes as an integer, and switch on its value to determine the HTTP method.
That's not true. Most conversational platforms do use a separate "trigger word" subsystem which has a much smaller vocabulary and is optimized for the low power, always on scenario. But the trigger words aren't hard coded - for example on the Motorola X series you could (can?) customize the trigger phrase: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/inde...
Did they mention battery life? I can only wonder how much battery life will take a hit with emulation especially when you're trying to make the emulated app as performant as possible.

While I'm all for commercialization. I think a lot of game changing technology takes a while to develop before they can be commercialized.

But google having too much money can be a curse as well. Best innovation comes when you think like a cockroach to survive.
>This deserves a black bar (IMO)

Why would YCombinator give him a black bar? Did he bootstrap a lean startup using microservices in Haskel and basic income while building relationships with angel investors for the next round and ensuring a long runway for a pivot into another market? No? Then Hacker News doesn't care.

This is Investor News. Angel News. Money News. Not Hacker News. Not "give a crap about science". Everyone would rather fellate Elon Musks's half-ass into rockets and electric cars instead of pay tribute to a legitimate American hero.
It's another in a long line of examples underscoring massive inequality, but it's about to be made moot by the 100's to 1000's of gigatons of methane (5 GT in the air right now) from just the ESAS going to push global warming into the +4C to +6C range within a decade. Global famines, wars, mass migrations and so on. If a person today doesn't have a completely self-sufficient, off-the-grid refuge in the far north or south, that person is suicidal or a Christian fundamentalist praying for rain.
Cheap high-powered graphics cards are one prerequisite.

I worked recruiting in the military. I've also done sales outside of the military. Recruiting is basically just high pressure sales. Many recruiters are facing nearly impossible numbers and will do just about anything to get a candidate into the system.
i don't have much in terms of 'accolades'. I'm a student who interned at another big name company. They actually said they would have interviewed me on campus if I hadn't done as well on their online tests and that only some small percent get to skip them. The process was as follows:

1. Amcat assessment. Essentially an online IQ and debugging test. Asked logical based questions that were similar to IQ.

2. Couple hour long "work simulation". Puts you in phony work situations and asks what you'd do. (Hurt your team vs hurt another team vs hurt customer). The work simulation ended with around 3 coding questions, one of which was difficult.

3. 20 minute chat with hiring manager over phone to discuss offer and answer any questions I had.

4. Rejecting their offer.

For the record, they monitored my browser, but nothing else.
Man, in what world is Clear Lake TX out in the middle of nowhere??
VR - virtual reality, isn't really all that interesting outside of gaming/simulation and training. AR - augmented reality, is where the real money-making opportunities lie. Lots of companies have field services/technicians who would benefit greatly from AR. It's not hard to see the transportation and distribution sectors also benefitting. Even healthcare. The upshot of it all being AR is where the action is, not VR.
I'm getting sick of seeing this. Node wasn't intended for compute heavy workloads...ever...at any point...for any reason. This is like the 50th time someone has decided it was appropriate to point it out by generating Fibonacci numbers (among other things).

Go watch the node.js presentation Ryan Dahl gave at JsConf 2009, he addresses this during that speech.

His opinion on the "right way" to do concurrency is a little polarizing, but, quote: "the right way to do concurrency is to use a single thread and have an event loop. this requires that what you 'do' outside of IO waits not take very long".

Black bars are essentially free; I never got the reason to ration them. While Glenn may not have been a part of the hacker community, he's an international icon of science, technology, and space exploration. I would guess a nontrivial number of people here have been positively influenced by John Glenn, and I'm sure every single person here has at least heard of him. I believe a black bar would be appropriate, as this is the only opportunity that we have to honor his passing.
>It was a time in America when the future seemed endless, anything was possible.

Somewhere between "We choose to go to the moon" and "if you see something, say something" we traded all of our hope and optimism for fear and suspicion.

I'm just hoping for hope again.
Now that's "Resource Exhaustion".
There's this place in Atlanta where one makes a 180 turn from one interstate to another. They added flashing lights, paint all over the place, signs. Still, there are so many vehicles going off the road that no grass ever grows there. Here's the Google Street view of the dirt patch, complete with vehicle debris which accumulates almost every day.

In this case SCOTUS invited Congress to revise the formula... twice. Congress couldn't get their act together.

I'm reasonably confident that is why Roberts voted to uphold Obamacare, among other decisions. The justices know that if they strike something down the odds of Congress fixing it are virtually nil, so they try to craft compromise decisions.
Well, why would those capable mid-level engineers, who probably already have decent jobs, want to interview at your company?

I'm not saying this to be snarky. If you don't have a good answer to this, that probably points to your issue. If you have to think a bit to answer that, it's probably also an issue.
It might probably, a Thinkpad workstation, W510.

However I am yet to get an employer or customer, having 4k displays, or allowing more than one external display.
There's been some discussion regarding the merits of using JWT's (JSON Web Tokens) instead of Connect. Mike added some clarification in the form of a comment on the blog.

Why wouldn't it decline if the middle class is shrinking?
They don't: there are different UIs for different screen sizes.

Your data is in the cloud (eg a Word Document in OneDrive on on Azure) and you can access it from a full desktop program on a PC or Mac, from an app on iOS or Android, or via a web browser on any device that has one.

This is a cross-platform vision that works both online and offline (unlike Google) and that ultimately doesn't care which device you use (unlike Apple).
I make plenty use of async requests to get files (images) and make web service calls at the same time. It's a Xamarin mobile application. Mobile apps are sometimes constrained by latency, so having a few requests in flight at once speeds things up.

Performance is not just fewer CPU cycles.

> IIS has many threads available to it, that's my entire point

My web services run on a VM with four cores. That's what I get given, and there's another twenty websites on it. The less overhead my code has the better. Just because it's not 100K TPS doesn't mean there aren't benefits.
That's a meaningless goal without a specific time frame. And of course, the moment you do specify a time frame, you also define the range of what you'll actually do in ways that flatly contradict what you'd do with different timelines.

For example, if you're trying to maximize cash on hand in the very short term, you simply stop paying your bills and declare bankruptcy when creditors attack. But if your goals are further out, this becomes the exact wrong strategy. Whatever your goal may be, you need a time frame to determine what is and isn't a good use of resources in realizing it.

Conversely, anyone who says "maximize shareholder value" without specifying a time frame is either a fool or a grifter. You can imagine how well things go when these types get together and "agree" on something this dangerously unbounded as a fundamental operating principle.
It's pure exhaustion in my case. I can (and did, for a while last year) switch to Signal, but even getting my wife to care enough to bother was more work than I was willing to put in at the time, and she's the one person in the world who's most likely to listen to me. There's basically nobody else in my social circle who'd bother if she won't.
I just searched for "Calcifying Fibrous Tumor", and got exactly what I wanted, the most recent review article on that tumor. What are you looking for?
Recruiters literally don't care about this at all, the only thing they care about is making their numbers. Here's a story: recruiters in our command who failed to get any recruits in a given period were stood in front of the group in their dress blues and had powdered donuts thrown at them for "rolling a zero." Like most beauracratic organizations, failure to meet metrics is treated harshly, making the recruiter's goals less altruistic than you imagine.

Opera's done a lot of work on power consumption and not all of it has as of yet been upstreamed, AFAIK.
It's difficult to interpret this because the paper defines income throughout the text in terms of income quantile (not absolute, COL-adjusted levels).

And oddly, in the FT, they show a significant negative correlation b/t Gini index and life expectancy in the upper quartile, and not the lower quartile (you'd expect the opposite). In the lower quartile, it is p=0.11, r=0.2; i.e., a nonsignificant positive association between income inequality and income quartile. This suggests the effects of income inequality might actually affect LE in different directions for high and low earners. This would explain why they say in the abstract they don't see a LE-Gini correlation for the distribution as a whole.

The story I would spin is that, within one geographic region, a high Gini actually means that rich and poor are living in proximity and sharing social structures. If you have low Gini in a compact region it likely means everyone there is (uniformly) poor.

IOW, they very likely have a correlation b/t Gini and income levels they aren't controlling for. This is why we use multivariate regression with interactions, not just run a Pearson between every pair of variables. The statistics in this article are really bad. JAMA strikes again.
I think that, over time, both paradigms are required. For the quick lookup/command, "ask" is best. For longer interactions, like driving directions, or cooking instructions, etc... a "conversation" makes more sense.
Given that we're at the early stages of conversational UIs, I think the 'ask' case is more helpful, but I'm more excited to see what will evolve through conversations.
I like plain english contracts but I find the casual almost jokey tone of it in some places gives the wrong impression.
