It's certainly a polarizing show! I think S1 was lifted considerably by the presence of Vincent D'Onofrio as the Kingpin, who acted as a focal point of Daredevil's efforts. But S2 had no such character.

The Punisher was an attempt at a similarly complex figure, but it failed miserably, particularly because, for all of the Daredevil group's shenanigans, we know he's a protagonist, not a classic bad guy. The central dilemma that the series tried to elevate to a theme was Daredevil's non-lethal approach vs. the Punisher's lethal one, which makes for weak TV indeed. Especially since all of Daredevil's enemies were ineffectual McGuffins that only existed to be mowed down.

It was also bogged down by the fact that the character (or his portrayal, at least) was humourless, dour and unpleasant, adding to the existing roster of humourless, dour and unpleasant characters (including Daredevil himself, who must be one of the most boring superheroes of all time, as portrayed by the show). Karen Page could have contributed some heart to the proceedings, but as in S1 her role was merely being constantly on the verge of tears in every single scene.

Oh, and the ninjas. Apparently the comic is all about ninjas, but still. Ninjas, really?

In the end, I felt the show only come alive around Foggy, especially when he was being a brilliant lawyer. I'd personally like to see Daredevil replaced with a courtroom comedy/drama around Foggy Nelson.
Was it Java that did not deliver improvement, or was it the team? :)
At the end of the day, assuming someone has to know about scammers in order to stop then, there's only two ways to make it happen:

One model is that the authorities get all the info from Western Union and then do the filtering on their side. Then you need to trust the authorities to have all transaction data and use it responsibly. This is the model for, say, license plate reader data.

Another model is that filtering happens at Western Union's end, and only suspicious transaction data get reported.

I infinitely prefer the latter model, even if my bank ends up doing outsourced police work on the side, because at least it's my bank that has the data and not the cops.
the restrictions aren't on the green areas. The city can keep all of our parks and nature and be fine. The restriction are on the building heights and number of units on vast areas of the city that are already developed.

For example, the west portala Sherwood Forest area is essentially a suburb within the city. There are huge lots that are 5000 sq ft when next door neighborhoods you have 1600sq ft lots with 2-3 units. Essentially you have suburb neighborhoods right next to others that have 10x the density.

A developer would love to buy units in those areas and convert to duplexes but is literally impossible to do this.

So again, it's not a question of preserving our parks but a question of preserving our suburbs within the city so rich people get to live in a suburb within the city and watch their property prices skyrocket instead of allowing the city to expand and accommodate the middle class.
TL;TR:
So the likely reason that time travelers from the future aren't visiting our period is (other than time travel perhaps being physically impossible) that we're just not that interesting, and we're not really that large. It's only temporal-centric egotism that makes us believe otherwise.

Interesting answer nonetheless. Reminds me of numerous scams of people traveling from the future, including faking of very old photographs with people wearing modern Prada glasses..
You have purchased 10-15 brand new cars without having to deal with a middleman who is only there to take his cut?

If so, I'm guessing you are not from a region of the world where dealerships are given special protections against competition and actively prevent the sale of vehicles the way the consumer wants to buy them.
I find the lectures from Jeremy Howard [1] very helpful. He points out what seems to work and what doesn't and explains things very well. I'm up to lecture 4 and enjoyed them all.

I also like Andrej Karpathy's thorough explanation for backprop in his Lecture 4 cs231n video. The links to the videos are removed from the course page [2] for some reason, just google "cs231n video" and you will find the youtube links. The page on CNN is pretty good.

"The only thing that stopped keeping up are salary increases."

While I agree with you on the whole "tech blame game", the quoted statement makes no sense. Of course housing prices mirrored salary increases previously. That's a natural phenomenon. As you know, this is a supply issue being mistaken by the rebellious barista set as a demand issue.
We bought a house recently here in Scotland and we must have looked at 20 houses before choosing the one we bought - all occupied houses had garages and not one was being used to house a car - they were mostly full of random junk.

Amusingly one house that wasn't currently occupied did have a car in its garage - a rather shiny and unused looking Lamborghini.

We ended up buying a house without a garage as we really don't need to collect more junk and our cars do fine outside. Only thing I did check was that it would be feasible to install a electrical charging point so I can finally look at getting an electric car!

[Edit: As expected of a British male of a certain age I am rather looking forward to finally owning my own shed and possibly a greenhouse].
Well, when I did it, I was the tester, and the user, and the coder, and I switched back and forth frequently - maybe in five minute increments. But I thought differently when wearing each of those hats. I could see the difference between ways of thinking in the design of the code.

> But this gets quickly out of hand if your project is meant to do anything more complicated than being a simple CRUD layer...

I've done things a lot more complicated than a simple CRUD layer. TDD held up just fine.

> I've seen cases when people blindly following the test->code->refactor cycle created tests that themselves were isomorphic to the algorithm they were implementing...

Well, blindly following any methodology is likely to get you in trouble, one way or another. The problem is blindly following, not that they're following TDD.

That said, I did TDD, and now I don't. It worked well for me, I loved the kind of code that came out of it, and I still don't do it any more.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Uber shown an unwillingness to follow regulations that it finds inconvenient?

The solution seems like a combinations of regulation, increased enforcement, and heavy penalties.
If you go with the pop-sci idea that intervening in the past changes the future, then we are just on the timeline in which time travel never occurred in our recorded past, by definition. It's not that people from the future _don't_ time travel to our period, it's that each time they do travel to our period, a timeline branches off that we don't have access to.

We _might_ be on a timeline in which some time travelers appear some time in the future, but maybe not.

It's sort of like the question 'why did life arise on Earth and nowhere else that we are aware of?' - the only reason we can ask the question is because we are the result of exactly the factors that would produce a consciousness that _could_ ask that question.

> Percent of Americans who have been victims of credit card fraud--10%

0.1% seems very low. I suspect that companies wouldn't even bother with compliance departments if it were actually that low.

Interviews with Ebay execs suggest rates closer to the 3-5% range, and it takes a lot of work to keep it that low.

30% is probably high. But probably not by a huge amount.

Luxury trends filter by design. The greats are told to do something by a client, and the lesser firms copy the greats because their clients want to live like the people that the greats design for.

Edward Bernays has a great piece on this in Crystallizing Public Opinion in the explanation of how getting high end architects to include music rooms in their designs leads lesser architects to copy them and everything they do to stay current, so when the average Joe walks into the hardware store and sees a piano (another Bernays innovation), they think of getting a musical instrument in their music room in their new house, and they think the idea is their own, except for the case that the subtle nudges to spark that idea have all been carefully planned and out in place.

Ask HN: How do I get myself on track with studying?
Perhaps this isn't the best place to ask this question, but I'm not sure where else to turn.

I'm a first year undergrand Electrical Engineering and Computing student in a top-20 university in the UK. My first term has passed and mock exams show that I am barely passing what I have been taught so far, if even that.

I think the reason is that I simply do not put hours in. But I find it hard to make the mental connect between "hours" and "success". I find it hard to motivate myself. Usually I just want to work on hobby projects (related more to programming than my course) or gaming.

Perhaps one of the reasons is beacuse I initially applied to do Compsci, but I didn't make the cut, so I was offered E&CE instead, which I accepted.

My main issue is that there isn't much indication as to what I ought to be doing. At school I was given homework and textbooks, past papers etc. and I could work my way through them. Now I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing, and beacuse it's not prescribed (and not checked) I'm left in the dark. The university is very sparse of past papers, too.

So I would like to ask,

1. What methods do you use to motivate yourself to study?

2. What methods to organise study and discover what needs to be studied?

3. What does studying for this topic, which is part knowledge (memorisation of certain facts, like the factors of an ideal op-amp, what a prime implicant is, how p-type and n-type works, semiconductor physics, finite state machines etc.) and part applied mathematics (integration, solving circuits, bode plots and all the usual Calc stuff etc.)?

And if anyone has experience with Electronic Engineering at university undergrad level, what would you recommend for this field of study? For example I don't understand (complex impedance) phasors. The textbook I use doesn't have a way which I can understand, and I find it hard to find time to discuss with my lecturers about this, because the pedagogy seems so impersonal.

Thank you for taking the time to read my question.

My problem with HBO GO is that it apparently requires you to have a cable subscription that includes HBO.

Fortunately they finally came to their senses and now offer HBO "Now", which is a separate, online-only, offering that doesn't require cable.

It's possible Ms Belotti and her team didn't realise they were working with an emulator. Mainframes being what they are, the programmers were probably never in the same room as the machines they were progamming, and it does take a bit of digging to figure out that the architecture you see before your eyes is emulated on another machine (like in "The Story of Mel").

Still, even the blog post you link to doesn't make it absolutely clear that java was running on an emulated s/370. It says that the decision was made to emulate the older architecutre rather than rewrite the old programs, but then it goes on to say "These are still operational". Does it mean the old programs? Or the old machines? It's hard to say.

As to how unlikely it is to see a very old machine still in use, instead of one made in more recent times, last year I talked to an engineer who claimed he had seen a PDP still in operation in some transport company if memory serves.

Fun fact: in the Flanders we had a show called "Basta" in which they had fun with a Nigerian scammer.

The person at the local Western Union actually warned them that it was a scam. I'm not sure if all of them would actually try to stop people from wiring money. In the end it's company police to wire the money if the client wants it tho.

This nails it in my opinion. Too often I see people assume that programming/coding is somehow science based. It's not really, it's an art and you need to be a creative person to be good at it. The science comes later (sometimes never for some).
But individuals and businesses aren't the justice system. (Something in which both sides can take comfort.)

I know firsthand that some retail businesses have found much better ROI by just presuming fraud (guilt, if you want to call it that) about certain countries (Nigeria and Romania frequently wind up on that list), and working to establish bona fides if someone from one of the banned locales contacts them directly to try to work out a purchase.

Which in one sense does sound horrible, but I'd imagine most personal eBay sellers would seek similar bona fides if the iPhone they're selling is purchased by someone reportedly from, say, Nigeria. It's hard to fault the risk mitigation instincts that humans have practiced for their entire history.

The reason these retailers developed the policies they did is because they were manually reviewing orders and very, very few–if any–were legitimate. Visits to the street markets in said countries turned up table after table full of highly discounted, almost certainly stolen goods. That's hard to ignore when setting corporate policy.

I'm not sure what the answer is, as one quickly gets into things like societal contracts, because we all pay some collective cost for the bad actors in our society, and at some point bear a non-zero degree of responsibility for not being either willing or capable of constraining those bad actors.

Bryan and the Joyent team were very accommodating and understanding. The White House is an amazing place to work (even now), but it's not a system that understands conference talks very well. Wish we could have a video, but it was a heavy lift just getting the bureaucracy okay with the idea that I was going to talk about information that was already public, without naming agencies or projects and without going into detail beyond what was in a user manual and that this was not a security risk.
That lifestyle as a teacher is probably only desirable or realistic for the young.
