Show HN: A really little API exposing Scotland's blood stocks, by blood type
I'm not into guys but I got hit on by a guy with a pretty good pick-up line which I would probably use if I were gay. I was standing at the finish line of a race and a guy standing next to me said, "There's a lot of cute guys here, huh?" At first I started to respond, "I... guess..." and then I realized he was hitting on me. Pretty smooth way to ferret out whether a guy is open to other guys.
You could invest the money you spent in your bunker into helping avoid needing a bunker. Elon Musk wants interplanetary redundancy, which to some degree, increases the chance that we die here, for whatever money goes into leaving, could have went into protecting what we have.

I'm ok with a chance of being extincted if it increases the chance I don't have to rot and die a slow death like so many of my forefathers. Screw redundancy, save this planet.
Ah, makes sense, I should probably have explicitly set a small font size but completely forgot about the possibility of that issue.
What do you mean, exactly?
All I want so say that while targeted attacks are the most difficult to defend against (well, by definition), it is the medium-sophistication-level attacks that cause the most damage (in my experience), just because of their volume.
It's not some state-of-the-art APT malware, it's bundles of RATs + generic backdoors/keyloggers packed in SFX archives, that are usually quickly detected by most AVs (provided that AV bases are regularly updated).
Of all the places to mine Bitcoin, why Venezuela? Is the electricity subsidized enough to justify all the other headaches associates with running an operation out of there?

With the instability of their currency I can understand why someone would want to use or buy bitcoin, but why mine there?

> According to many sources, that are well presented in the Cowspiracy documentary (among others) it is shown that a vegetarian diet, and specially a vegan diet, is A LOT less awful then an omni diet both environmentally, ethically and considering health impact.

Just a quick note: The "Cowspiracy" movie unfortunately presents its case by cherry picking scientific evidence and presenting much higher numbers than what is reasonable. Wikipedia has something about it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowspiracy#Criticism

I recently saw that movie. Basically what the movie maker did was taking the highest number he could find and repeating it over and over again.

This is unfortunate, because the overall message is still very much true: Meat production causes a lot of greenhouse gas emissions and cutting them is a great opportunity. And NGOs are very reluctant to talk about it.
A LMGTFY link is juvenile, full stop. It's not appropriate in any response. Condescension (which is what links to that site are) does not make a substantive comment.

Electron apps can work great. I have noticed a general bias against all Electron apps and I think it is because of how poorly Atom performed when it was first released. Virtual Studio Code, and RStudio are shinning examples of a good Electron App.

Do you have any evidence for these claims? What's the concrete mechanism that allows AVs to observe and react to threats earlier than Google? (Since you allow up to 1 week of reaction time, I'll assume that you're not referring to heuristic detection methods.)
Awesome!

"The order was likely from U.S. carmaker Tesla and the cancellation was purely motivated by “political reasons,” German business magazine WirtschaftsWoche, a sister publication of Handelsblatt, claimed, without citing sources."

Basically hearsay.

Maybe it was Faraday Future and they simply don't have the money after the botched CES show? Wouldn't be the first order cancellation from FF.
The reason why initial bots are not successful because they were not better than apps out there and even worst when it comes to complete time to do the same thing.

So IMO, we all must have understood by now, that we were trying to fit wrong use case in chatbots, chatbots are mostly handy when it comes to interacting with user like google search does when next step is not known to a person, they just dig deep, and check out more possibilities and so on.

That's not what this post is about (why people shouldn't eat meat). It's about the claim that vegetarian diets are better for the environment, which they are, but not to the extent that they'll solve our sustainable agriculture challenges. Please take your soapboxing to a place where it's on topic.

> I'll be honest, I think Trump is going to cost universities, labs, and businesses a lot of very smart people

This is absolutely terrible for the OP, but is there really a shortage of smart and skilled people? Given the low pay for many scientific positions and notoriously awful conditions for postgrads and the like working in labs, I have my doubts. Maybe the upside is that with the tap of smart people turned down a little, conditions will improve for the people who are left.
Yeah, but you can do that with plain-old qemu. It's a mystery to me why more places don't do this.
Being "just" a team changes internal politics a lot. You can have engineers re-assigned to other projects easily, you have to fight over internal resources, etc. Maybe it's not a problem at Facebook, but in many companies becoming just another team is the death knell for acquisitions.

The author has missed the key point: He is trying to find someone who operates like him, from a different gender. I'm all for gender-equality but the different genders operate differently.

Once you grasp that and accept that women do no operate, think and behave like male; your success with them will sky rocket.

However, most of the users of internet were not ipv6 ready until very recently. It is a simply supply and demand question, where nobody wanted to invest in ipv6 infra first. Replacing networking gear for supporting ipv6 is very pricey operation too. I remember having pretty bad issues of having a dual stack in software. One example is when the python resolver library defaulted to ipv6 resolution first for a domain name, and the nxdomain to the AAAA request invalidated the name cache on the servers. When we changed this behaviour to default to ipv4 we saved an insane amount of CPU time. There are lots of issues like this one in a cloud environment, most people are never going to face this though.
Funny, but he does not need to go through 3493 dates to meet one of his 18,726 viable bachelorettes. Its probably in the double digits.

I think Google internally uses ipv6 for desktop computers though. I thought they are going to be faster with ipv6 rollout given how much they are investing into SDNs.
Thanks for the answers! Gigabit Ethernet sounds very interesting indeed, so does more RAM! And, yes, competition is always good to stir things up a little.

(Even though my home network is stuck in the dark ages and has a 100MBit switch only. I know GBE switches are dirt cheap, but this one has been with me for ~13 years now and has survived me losing consciousness and dropping my head on it, so I really want to find out how long it'll last.)
>The "similar size" ship dropped from 333 crew to 221 crew.

The ratio of enlisted to officers on a specific ship class can be misleading because there will always be a certain number of positions on any warship which will require officers: 1 commanding officer, 1 executive officer, 1 chief engineer, 2 or more other department heads, etc. In effect, there is a "floor" on the wardroom size.

For an example going the other direction, U.S. aircraft carriers have a total ship's company of around 3,200, with about 80 of those being officers, for a 40:1 ratio.
TLDR: He's looking for someone who's two standard deviations above the median in beauty, one standard deviation above the median in intelligence, and is trying to find this mythical unicorn by going on one blind date every week.

Or whoever swipes right (left? I don't know) on Tinder, or whoever emails you on dating websites.

I don't use conversational bots. I find it stupidity to talk with a computer pretending that it is human. By the other hand, bots with commands (like !do-something or /do-something) I think works very well, since always (like the 90s in IRC). Just like a terminal, which is very productive (an UX very common among software developers but not common users).
The article is excellent and I recommend it to anyone playing games on a PC.

I also love my Steam Controller. The software was a little and miss but less and less by the day. For example I had sometimes problems autoloading my configs, now I don't even have to play attention to it. It just works. My mind was blown when I configured the Steam controller to work as a Dolphin (Wii Emulator) controller: super accurate pointer controls through the trackpad. I mapped the motion controls to only work while holding the left hand pad; no more missed motions. I didn't like certain button mappings, so I switched them around: perfect. I wanted to use my PS3 controller instead and it worked out of the box with nearly the same config.

Endless possibilities for tinkering, but also (almost every time) works out of the box: just like good PC experience should be.

Tangentially related, to the fans of Fidel Castro: there's an interesting line of thinking that Cubans became healthy not because of Cuba's phenomenal health care system, but because they had to simplify their diet considerably in the wake of the Soviet Union's implosion. They had to eat homegrown veggies because they had no other choice.
What 'running gags'? I've been to cons in Europe in the late 1990's where people would openly say they were from special departments of the police or intelligence services, and that they were there to recruit, learn about what's going on in the scene and to keep tabs on groups and 'scene' dynamics. This has been common practice and knowledge for 15+ years. I don't even see what's surprising about it.
I might suggest clarifying where you stand on this, as right now it's ambiguous as to whether you are for or against these actions.
I'm a PC guy these days but I still use my launch Xbox 360 controller long after the 360 it came with died (mainly for platformers and GTA). I'm not a hardcore gamer by any means but it certainly saw a lot of Halo 3 and Burnout action and is still going strong today. I've looked at the Steam controllers and while they look great, I can't really justify the purchase as I don't think it would be enough of an upgrade for my occasional usage.
I am not sure this is a good example. I really like to have 1 IP / server, or maximum two when it has to live in two networks.

Not OP but the general complaint is that we shouldn't switch from a cheap energy source (coal) to expensive renewables which are relatively untested at scale if the human impact of climate change is minimal or already past the point of no return. I don't personally believe this but this is a not unreasonable argument I have heard.
What is Cloud Native and why should I care?
Open source drivers will be the only way to ensure that. All these fruit clones look great on paper, then you realise you're stuck on an ancient closed source kernel if you want to use the hardware for 3D or video or sometimes even at all.

Release drivers, update images. That's all the Pi Foundation has done to ensure they're the best.
It could be an extra level of security if they ran in userspace or in-between. But they usually have enormous permissions to operate and doesn't really count as a whole new layer.
They have been quietly deprioritizing the Oculus brand for a while now. They did a whole series of pop up stores before Christmas at various airports, trying to demo Gear VR. No mention of Oculus or Samsumg, 100% Facebook branding.

Too many engineers get caught up with the minor details of the syntax of a language and ignore the business implications of using an untested technology.

My job as a lead is to help scale my team, properly architect the application as well as reducing any risk / uncertainty while delivering new features to the platform.

The syntax doesn't save that much time in my personal experience. The actual amount of words that's typed might be less.. it can be cleaner than Java but if my team is spending a higher amount of time debugging Kotlin issues relative to working with the Java codebase then we've got a problem.

That's a... surprisingly snarky / unhelpful remark with no counter to my statement.
51% of CO2 emissions is just a number that was repeated.

there's also dead oceans by 2048 which is the most pessimistic estimate.

but some numbers are fine.

the amount of land that is used for livestock is incomparable. water pollution, dead ocean zones, all caused by animal agriculture.

the amount of environmental destruction and pollution is incomparable. more than 90% of destroyed Amazon rainforest was for the sole reason of raising more livestock.

yeah, CO2 equivalent footprint might not be 51% but the oil industry does less environmental damage than animal agriculture. highest CO2 footprint isn't even cars and transport but heating and cooling.

Being able to live without NAT, and give all the countries that run out of ipv4 addresses the same status most western countries enjoy, aka having enough IP addresses for every user (or even your IoT devices, or anything in your household requiring internet access). I am not arguing it is a good thing or bad thing though.
The ultimate and sadening conclusion of course is that if i were working in a government getting 170k parking ticket letters I would probably think about making a chatbot or AI to scanread/reject them. However I'm sure I would be rebuffed by some law saying its unfair to dismiss based on applications, so instead I have to spend extra taxpayer money to have a human evaluate each case.
Yeah, I agree with using it at work.

I'd be lying if I said that ensuring the box for a date was "green" on my GitHub contribution graph hasn't motivated me to get some shit done that i've been putting off, or hitting a star milestone on a project hasn't motivated me to pick it back up and check off some of the TODOs i've been ignoring.

It might be stupid, it might be "pointless", but it works for me. And while every single one can be gamed or "hacked", if you are working with someone that can't help but cheat a game like this, how can you trust them to actually do any work?

As for getbadges.io, that's a bit too "gamey" for me. I'm looking for a more "professional" kind of profile or badge or card that displays this information, the cheesy little "defeat the monster by closing issues!" turns me off more than motivates me. But slap a different UI on that and I really feel it would do wonders for me!

Uh, yes you can. Couple weeks ago I reset my Windows 10 MSI laptop to a clean state using nothing but Windows itself. Somewhere in Windows 10 restore options there's an option to format your HD and install only Windows and nothing else. You don't need a DVD nor a USB drive. A click of a button and off you go.
No, I don't think so and if it does, please tell me which browser does it so I can keep away from it, because that defeats the purpose of TLS.

AVs generally run with complete permissions, and can do everything up to and including injecting their own code inside your browser's running process. Providing them with an API doesn't weaken the security, it just reduces the chances they'll screw the browser up.
Maybe, but remember that people used to laugh about the capacities of the FBI (and to some extent the NSA) before the Snowden leaks...

Besides, high level statements like that (that make the main stream media) aren't meant to be factually correct or framed considering all nuances. It's political maneuvering. People don't always mean literally what they say; part of social intelligence is understanding this, and being able to read between the lines. I wish I had learned about this 2 decades ago. I guess us computer types aren't predisposed to have this come natural to us.
Not sure why you were downvoted so much. China can be very hard to integrate with moving from the US. I had several coworkers there for year-long projects and a couple of them were miserable the entire time because the culture was too different for them (smog didn't bother them because they were indoors with good air filtration).
I think it entirely depends on the timescale. I like to imagine a distant future where all food production is automated. Staples, vegetables, and fruits (and fresh water) would be available to everyone for free. People wouldn't eat meat because of the environment. People wouldn't grow up eating meat, so eating a cow would be just as repulsive as eating a cat or a dog. It wouldn't even be a temptation.

> They’re so large, astronauts can see entire sections of the planet turn brown and die every Spring as farmers nuke the soil’s native biology to make way for the artificially imposed order of the grain field.

I don't know what to make of "artificially imposed order of the grain field." People have been artificially imposing order on the earth for thousands of years. Granted, it's on a much bigger scale today. Still, how do you propose feeding the earth without any artificial order?

In this future world, all of the machinery will run on solar and wind power. We will grow genetically modified crops so that we only need to use a small amount of pesticides and fertilizers. And just like all plants, these crops will absorb a lot of carbon dioxide and release a lot of oxygen.

I mean, even if this is still bad for the environment, would there even be any room for improvement? The only thing I can think of is somehow reducing the human population. That's a prickly subject.

And we're going to really have to think about all of this before we defeat aging.
