The question is what is valuable about having experiences: is it having experience X in itself, or is it showing off to other people that you have had experience X?

Apparently for many people -- perhaps even most -- showing off that they've had an experience to others is far more important than actually having had it.

For America, not particularly. It is a big deal for smaller countries that would like to retain some degree of food independence, most obviously the United Kingdom.

It could become highly significant due to the growing global population and increasing meat consumption in the developing world. Global meat consumption has quadrupled in the last 50 years; continued growth at that rate is entirely plausible and entirely unsustainable.

Yes, stem cells can travel through the body.

Our adult cells communicate with their immediate neighbors through some pretty complex chemical signalling, and stem cells are receptive to that. It's one of the reasons stem cells are able to cooperatively develop from one single cell into a complex multi-cellular organism. Each stem cell carries the complete blueprints for a human being, it just needs to access and activate them based on the signals from it's neighbors.

In fact, pregnant mothers have been found to have fetal stem cells in their blood stream, which target areas of injury and are thought to be repairing them, even within the brain.
The USB part is the simplest part. U2F uses USB HID for messaging. That's probably less complicated than using the D-Bus interface. And anyhow there's probably already an open source library for U2F USB HID clients. Mozilla will probably use whatever Chrome is using.

The real complexity is in exposing the interfaces through Javascript and orchestrating all the GUI components. In fact, U2F doesn't even require a hardware token. It was designed so browsers could implement everything in software to hasten adoption.
I'm not the parent, but I remember reading good articles - going back to them some time later and finding them deleted. Can't really recall the specifics but I bet they were for esoteric programming languages or something.

http://deletionpedia.org/en/List_of_Issuer_Identification_Nu... that page seems like a decent example though. That seems like a really useful resource if I were looking for that information. I can't figure out why it would have been deleted.
Is there anything like this with 3x3 MIMO wifi and a hi-dpi screen? my 13" macbook pro is great but not sure if I could go backwards on those 2 points right now.
A little touchy, are we?
It doesn't work like that. Lower CPC does not mean lower value. It just means Google pushing into new eco-systems where CPCs are different from desktop search (e.g. mobile, YT, new publishers/partners) and it may take some time to reach equilibrium among the various actors depending on the ROI of the medium for the respective actors.
Email is a social activity. It's not the greatest social activity, but it is more social than programming. I find myself drawn to it partly for this reason.

I don't know exactly what to do with that observation. But I know that the reason I check my email more than once a day is threefold: (1) to feel connected to other people, (2) to feel on top of things (the same urge that drives me to read the news), and (3) to stay out of trouble with work, in case there is some emergency on the website.

If I had a job where all I had to do was check email, and answer them from what was already in my head, that might actually be fulfilling. Or if all I had to do was work on one programming project per week, that would also be great. But email and programming don't mix well.
This. On a more local scale (EU) medical tourism is huge. I know of many family members travelling a short distance to avail of much cheaper dental work abroad. In fact I am surprised this isn't advertised more.
Not an apologist, but a Devil's advocate:

Being trustworthy means fulfilling the expectations of the party that is reliant on us, and which are based on what we promise. Currently, the CA system promises very little, with the general idea being that your data is safe from thieves and scammers; certainly not that your communications are safe from law enforcement. Therefore, they are mostly trustworthy.

If you start telling people that you can say which CAs are free from interference from intelligence agencies and other top-level snoopers, you're making a much stronger promise, and therefore any flaws in your assessment are much more dangerous.
Very disappointing to see this flagged. I thought better of HN.
Yes, exactly!

The solution is simple (but not necessarily easy): turn off ALL notifications and badges and vibrations, except for the actual telephone function (i.e. when people call you synchronously, a traditional phone call.) Disable all the rest entirely. No blinking, no vibrating, no numeric badges with little numbers quietly ticking up and up in the corner.

Then tell all your important friends and relatives and co-workers to just call you on the phone, a real traditional synchronous phone call, if something truly important happens.
I expect WebAssembly to handle this.
I wasn't as hard up as you, but I definitely relate to being on the lower end of the economic scale as well as having parents who were not able to give me any guidance at all WRT a path through college. I think it's hard to understand what "networking" even is if you don't have someone who you can emulate.
It's a mating strategy. If a girl has acquired a capable mate, then the other females only stand to benefit by successfully undermining that relationship. Upon doing so, the capable mate chances to be distributed across the girl's social network are significantly increased, thus, increasing collective survival.
Off the top of my head ...

Many applications use toolkits that are unable / unwilling to scale. Arduino IDE is a good example - lots of bugs filed about it, some fixes ostensibly out there, but I've spent hours with no success -- the UI is unreadably tiny on my 3yo 3200x1800 laptop.

You can tweak your desktop (I use KDE) and many (but not all) other applications to scale up, but as soon as you plug in a monitor with different characteristics (I frequently plug into a 22" 1600x1200 LCD) things are going to look horrendous on at least one of your screens.

If you fix those two, I'll come up with some more. :)
Your comment is really misleading. Urmson is not the main target that the title is referring to.
So non-solicitation agreements are valid in CA? I know that non-compete's are not (to be clear, as I understand it, this means that Anderson is completely free to start a competitor to Tesla, but it does not in any way allow him to use any resources of Tesla in the formation and operations of said competitor), and had sort of just assumed that non-solicitation agreements fell into the same category.

EDIT: other comments have clarified - the crux of the poaching issue in this case is that he was actively soliciting Tesla employees for his competitor while employed by Tesla. That's a far more specific scenario than trying to enforce a non-solicitation agreement after leaving the company.
I first interviewed with Amazon two years ago, and I got no offer. It was a good experience but it just felt (both to me and to the hiring manager) that I interviewed with the wrong team. One month later, a different business held another recruiting event in the city where I lived then, which would have been a much better match, but whatever.

Since then I've been contacted from time to time. I initiated the process with a team coming to Berlin in December. I should've known better and asked them right away about other teams coming in town later :) My mistake.
Anyway the first message I got was slightly inaccurate about the job location, but I decided to give it a try. I took their automated online assignment (no, not the infamous proctor.io one they give to interns/entry-levels), did well (it was reasonable), then had a call with the technical recruiter and was left to set the interview date with the recruiting event coordinator.

A couple days later, not one, but two managers from AWS contact me on LinkedIn to tell me about an upcoming recruiting event in Berlin. I reply to the first one, tell him upfront I started the process with another business team already, but that AWS would be a better match (given the job location, and I'm not going to lie, AWS are the cool kids and I like their products). He says there's no problem, I can cancel my interviews with the other team, and just transfer the process to the AWS recruiting event. So I tried to do that.

The recruiting event is going on as we speak, I believe. I'm still waiting for the AWS technical recruiter to get in touch. I reminded the manager 3 times and eventually gave up. Sorry Amazon, I'm not that desperate. I'm not a fan of companies that have a generic interviewing process, no matter the team you're applying for. I think it makes sense that each business team is running its own recruiting pipeline. But come on, you can do a better job than that.
Saints were also often essentially an analog to modern superheroes. They didn't need to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom. They didn't need to bathe yet always smelled like roses. They performed miracles and other superhuman feats. They were also abstinent, which is something people at the time viewed as no more possible for a normal person than going without food and water entirely was.

And, of course, they were much closer to actually being people than abstract concepts like the Vices and Virtues, which I think puts them a bit closer to 'superhero' than the characters in this medieval comic book. Still, a very neat historic work!
Bidding War on H-1B Visas?
Yeah, that's mostly my reaction too.

OTOH, there's no reason that sort of email can't be generated from a list of templates either.

My favorite was when a recruiter obliquely referenced something I'd once tweeted complaining about recruiter spam.
> Sure, object references can be null. Get over it, that's like CS 101 stuff right there. What do you think happens if you use an undefined variable in Python or Javascript?

I think you missed the part where he's comparing against statically typed languages like Rust and Swift. He's not arguing against static typing. He's arguing that Java is both more verbose and less type-safe than languages like Rust and Swift, which both prevent null, and have type inference.

> Get over it

Why get over it when you can just use a language that doesn't let null leak into every reference?
This is (part of) what I was trying to convey. Thanks for putting it into better words than I could!
Yeah, my job is java on the backend, JS on the frontend, though it's ExtJS which is neither hip nor good.
There's a crucial distinction between "would be" and "was". You'd be correct if the sentence used "would be", but "was" is very definite.
My problem is I don't have much control over it. If you're interviewing me, and I'm doing exceptionally well, it most likely means I do not care if you offer me a job or not.

This of course means that I've only held jobs I wasn't particularly interested in. Well, at least at the time I interviewed for them -- some have turned out better than expected :)
Got it, that's helpful. So basically, you can't prevent a former employee from hiring your employees, but you can limit the extent to which the former employee can proactively recruit your employees, so long as the terms of the agreement are limited and well defined?

And the answer is the alternatives all suck because they are filled with people asking rubbish questions. If you want a community of people ready to help you, maybe consider putting in enough effort to make them helping you easier.
That's because the effects are hard... in general, I find it much easier than trying to fiddle with ffmpeg or similar.

I tend to rip most things with one of two configs I have.. one for br/1080p, another for DVD, and I have a tweaked DVD for bad content (Think Babylon 5)... It took a while to find settings I generally like. I've also taken to letting things run for h.265, since I'm pretty concerned about the space on my nas.

If you aren't trying to match YIFY on your sizes, then you can get away with being a bit more loose on your configs.
Are we not going to talk about the fact that they are on abc.xyz? I think it's hilarious.
Wait, is there a legal concept of "duty of loyalty" outside of fiduciary relationships? That's the first I've heard the term in that context. Or did Anderson have a fiduciary relationship with Tesla?
Equally Immigrant
How do we recreate or find a society of people who have technology, but are not obsessed with pre-remembering things? People who still enjoy where they actually are, rather than trying to edit and document everything for posterity as it happens?

Could there be special device-free venues -- bars, coffeshops, and so on where people go there to actually talk with people around them, where headphones and tiny screens are not allowed?

How do we fix this?
Is anyone here sharing code with react-native and react? I was looking @ https://github.com/este/este but when trying to run the iOS app, ran into a bunch of roadblocks. It is compelling, though.

I don't get TV ads either. What is the effectiveness of it?
It's not quite what you're looking for but I've been working on Tracket [0] for quite some time now.

The best way I can describe it is a mix between google news and the wayback machine. It aggregates top stories from the major news sites and groups the articles and photos together if they're related. It also creates a timeline so you can go back in time to see what the top news stories were for a given day.

I wonder why they used a Spanish TLD.
I agree with the above.

However, from my experience in CAD, Wikipedia's notability and importance ratings are strongly skewed towards open-source and against commercial systems.

High-importance:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:FreeCAD

Low-importance:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:SolidWorks

No disrespect meant to the FreeCAD folks, but that is definitely back-to-front! The article on Solidworks lists 165,000 companies using the product as of 2013. How is that low-importance?

The skew tends to be even worse against enterprise class systems.

Sure, but this could have just been an experiment in automation. They wouldn't necessarily release a device like this to the market, but it could be a prototype they learn from.
Ah, there it is. Not made as clear as it could be by TechCrunch. Even in the most generous reading of anti-non-solicitation agreement law would probably uphold a restriction on doing it while employed.
> I am surprised you don't use ioeventfd though!

We do in some cases, for both networking and storage. Since our devices are (mostly) VIRTIO (of pre-1.0 vintage), we're using it for OUTs into BAR0 (which again of course get their own VMEXIT and don't require emulation).

By and large we try to elide the exits entirely if we can, naturally, although in today's GCE production environment serialized request/response type workloads will see exits on every packet. Streaming workloads fare better, as we do make use of EVENT_IDX and aggressively trying to find more work before advancing the used.avail_idx field.

Show HN: "npm install server@1" design taking place
From the research, what I took away was that you should just 'be awesome' at whatever you want to be 'awesome' at, work on those things, and not really care who 'wants' you. Like, all those students that did get in would have still gone and done the things that they wanted to do. They were that passionate. That, I think, is the 'better life' path. And since the original article that stated this HN thread was focused on people that are trying to have a better life, I think it has a lot to say. Instead of trying to kill your personality and passion and trying to be yet another perfect little gingerbread-man so you have a chance at the slot-machine that is college admissions, encourage your passions and grit and personality and live a life you want to live, have that better life now and do what you want to be doing. The 'typical' kid should go be passionate and love something and not give a damn about getting into Stanford. How to find that passion or that thing? I have no idea and am still searching myself. But I'd think that path of searching is a lot better than being yet another perfect applicant.

From my experience in the bay area, unless you're very politically active and connected you're not going to get appointed to the planning commission. Nor should you, if you have not been intimately involved with all the community stakeholders for a long time. Also, it's a hard thankless job.
I find it odd that you mention the web-framework as the interesting feature of a music recommendation / discovery system.

Surely, the interesting thing ought to be where you get the data and how you create recommendations.

Anyway, on Safari 9.1.1 nothing works: If you start typing in the search bar too early it doesn't search. The search icon is not clickable, ever (have to use enter). Clicking on a song takes you to a blank page, clicking the play icon does nothing, reloading pages doesn't work (takes you back to the front when it does manage to reload)
"DOES" are 'John/Jane Does". These are placeholders for potential defendants unnamed at filing of the lawsuit, but who may be added to the named defendant list later.
A non-compete is a different agreement than a non-solicitation agreement. The former is categorically unenforceable in California. The latter is much more of a gray area and dependent on circumstances.
Fantastic work! Thank you for sharing. Do you guys see pressure from commercial users to offer one-time payment instead of subscriptions?

Disturbingly, it includes people who haven't been proven guilty of a crime. I'm all for deporting convicted criminals, but this executive order says that you can be deported if you're accused of a crime. That's messed up. With the reality that there's a non trivial amount of law enforcement officers that charge people for things they are not guilty of, there's going to be innocent, law abiding immigrants that are kicked out.
I don't find any of it funny actually.
We fucked up here, and I apologize. Many thanks to robbiet480 for writing a script to help clean it up.

We've just pushed new client and server versions to cleanup hooks when the last admin user logs out.

New downloads will be the latest version, and current users can update now using the Ship -> Check for Updates menu option. After that, you can logout using Ship -> Account -> Logout. If you used the app earlier and want to be sure all hooks are cleared out, you can log back in once more and then logout again to trigger the removal.

There is also updated documentation here: https://www.realartists.com/docs/2.0/uninstall.html

So about hooks - Hooks are added so that Ship is alerted when new repos are created, issues/labels/milestones/comments are added/modified/deleted, issue templates change, etc. The user experience without hooks is acceptable, but not great. Presumably if you're using Ship, you want it to show the most up to date information.

We disclose when you authorize Ship that you're granting repository and organization webhook permissions. This appears to be insufficient notice. We'll think about that next.

If anyone is still having trouble or needs personalized help, we're reachable at support@realartists.com.

Since many/most Lisp macros implement syntax, there can be a lot of syntax in Lisp, too. The parsing of the syntax is distributed over the macro definitions, sometimes with some help of the general macro mechanism.

See for example the syntax which is implemented by macros like LOOP or ITERATE. The LOOP syntax is documented in the ANSI CL spec...

Super worried about section 10, b:

When the WH press secretary openly lies about something trivially proveable as "yup, not as many people were on the mall his year than in 2009 or on the women's March", how can anyone really trust stuff coming from the Trump administration?

These days I feel it' more about the commitment and professionalism that goes with the effort to pass this test. In that most other countries cabbies are a lower skilled, often new immigrant job. This comes with certain problems from taking you on the long route intentionally or not, to theft and rape (note: I understand this is completely the minority bad apples). With black cabs you had non of this concern. It was a great service that bucked the usual taxi driver complaints you see everywhere else in the world.
