Facebook is testing a feature that alerts you if someone is impersonating your account: http://mashable.com/2016/03/22/facebook-impersonation-alert/
Thanks for working on this. I like some of the stuff in Python 3, but I don't see any compelling reason to switch to it; I'd much rather see the vast majority of features in 3 moved back to a 2 series interpreter. That most of the features can be moved back is, in itself, an important statement on whether 3 was necessary at all.
Because, not very secretly, supercars are horrible daily drivers. It's a different use case.

pretty sure they don't know what hacker news is.

Thanks for this concise answer. If this were Stack Overflow, you'd get checkmark!
The Toyota GT86, Mazda MX5, and Nissan 370Z are examples of that. However, looking at how many models were discontinued (Honda S2000, Toyota Supra, Toyota Celica, Mazda RX8), maybe the market opportunity is not as big.
Not sure how admiring a man who made billions of dollars, build some fantastic property, became president of the United States, is a pretty good golf player, etc. is depressing. The man has achieved more than 99.99999% of people will ever achieve.
Exactly. I'd pay to try many more apps if I could refund the crap. The best would be a 1 hour free trial. If I don't uninstall after one hour, bill me. If I do uninstall, don't. Apps could cost 10x what they do now if that was possible because I'd see the value, rather than gambling like today.
A recent example I saw was a friend of mine on Facebook, who posted a snapshot from an MSNBC program. It was an attack on Rex Tillerson, in the form of a bar graph of profit potential for ExxonMobil by country.

The countries seemed pretty random (that well known oil giant Germany was in there) but at the top was Russia with a bar far far larger than any other country on the chart. The graph was an obvious attempt to continue the theme of "Trump administration is owned by Russia". The problem was that the numbers next to each bar weren't labelled: the graph was totally lacking in context.

I did some googling and found that the graph appeared to be measuring profit potential in millions of acres of drilling rights. Thus it was comparing an acre of frozen Arctic ocean with an acre of Germany as if they were the same thing. There are industry standard ways to compare oil fields. I've never once seen oil fields measured in this way because it ignores extraction costs, but sure, if you want to imply that Russia will be wildly more profitable than anywhere else on earth then that's one way to do it. But it's an abuse of statistics.

I pointed this out to the friend in question who simply said that she had a policy of not taking part in political debates on Facebook.
Because at the end of the day the Ferrari (or Porsche or Lamborghini) design is not a very comfortable or practical design for day to day use. The (two) people I know who own Porsche sports cars also own a second car.
Opps, I did say something about file format being owned but that's not what I meant.

And if nobody can own a file format, please explain Adobe's patent on the PSD or DNG formats themselves (owning the specification = owning the format.)
Capitalism is going away, no matter what, once we have massive unemployment due to automation.
You think people are just going to accept starvation? Shit will get real, real fast.

A better way to look at UBI is that it's not about giving poor people money.
Its about keeping the fabric of society together and preventing revolutions.
I usually respond to this question with a question of my own:

"Are you asking this question because you don't have faith in your own ability to interview and value employees or because you are trying to lowball me?"
Agreed, my main reason for not switching to Go fulltime is numpy and scipy. I was recently pointed at https://github.com/gonum which has a subset of the functionality of numpy and scipy.

Well, you could tell the story of someone you knew who had such and such experience...
Do you remember the Pontiac Fiero?

Nice looking car (for the time), underperformed, had a habit of catching on fire.
Of course they can. They can report the unemployment rate as "percentage of the population physically capable of working who do not", and then provide other terms to refer to "people who are looking for a job but can't find one", maybe call it the jobseekers rate or something.
The difference is that the roll of a die is random, but the outcome of an election gets more deterministic as it approaches. Election prediction is figuring out what people have already decided they are going to do.
So if the supply of low paid labor drops, and the demand rises, the value of low paid labor increases. The reason those jobs have been filled with low paid labor is the workers had no other choice.

In this situation they'd end up well rewarded for their work, and those workers with more spending power has traditionally been great for the economy.

Lot's of things have completely changed how society works, why shouldn't society change?
This is actually not a bad study.

First, the bad stuff:

- Only 50 participants (they waffle about power, but its unconvincing)
- Over analysis of such a small dataset (they report testing lots of issues, and they presumably did a bunch more tests).

On the good side:

- They showed a 1pt improvement on a good measure of intelligence (raven's matrices), as a result of a differing recruitment strategy (scroll through the paper, there's a half-page image showing these).
- All of the experimenters were blind to both study purpose and condition (which is sadly rare in psychology).
- This is a really interesting effect. It would be one thing if it were a social measure, but raven's matrices are an IQ test.

This would seem to support the notions around malleable intelligence (Carol Dweck et al), and is an interesting experimental effect.

That being said, the sample size was really small, and I probably won't believe this until I see it replicated a few times (though I've seen similar placebo effects on IQ tests before in past research, which I always thought sounded more like stereotype threat).
How is giving a 30% chance of winning to the person who won "the wrong result"? Do you think that anything over 50% odds means a guaranteed win or something?
I think in the first place you have to be very clear about what it is you want to achieve in your career or your relationships, and more importantly why.

Why you want what you want and why you won´t settle for anything else.

Once you have that cristal clear you just got to know that failure is not final nor definite, but rather an opportunity to try again.
That seems like a fair criticism. But at the same time, as long as they don't pretend that the numbers say more than they do, I don't see a big problem with them.
Umm, you realize that the crazy housing bubble of the 1970s is what got us Prop 13, right? 1980 in San Francisco was quite the crazy time (I think someone had linked to a great nytimes article from that period on HN in the last year or so).
Very little of what you said is reality.

> They, and everyone else, receive $12k per year.

You didn't read the article. The only people who receive net $12k per year are those who have zero income. Everyone else receives net <$12k per year, because some of their income is taxed in order to finance basic income.

> The poor (and those just above them on the economic ladder) will spend all of that on basic needs: food, housing, clothing, transportation.

Incorrect. Who are you to dictate to people how to spend that money? "All" is not the amount they will spend, and "basic needs" is not the only thing they will spend it on. They will save some of it. And they will spend some (maybe close to all) of that money on paying off debt. There is $747 billion in credit card debt, $1.14 trillion in auto loans, and $1.28 trillion in student loads. And some of it will go to everything else: alcohol, video games, travel, etc.

And by the way, how many Big Macs do you think people want to buy? How many houses do you think they want to buy? How many trips do you think they want to take?

> That's $12 Billion more now competing for a fixed amount of goods.

Definitely not $12 Billion, as I have demonstrated above. And there is no such thing as a "fixed amount of goods" in economics.

Of course prices will change. But they will change in healthy ways. The idea that there's some sort of feedback loop present here that causes basic income to cancel out its own effects is completely unfounded.
From my casual browsing, I think that aside from a prettier UI it does a subset of what Monit can do at the moment and Service Canary seems to be based more around network changes than system-local changes. The messaging of Service Canary is not as comprehensive of a monitoring solution as Monit and implies that this kind of monitoring needs a distinct solution although Monit can probably do all of these things (file change detection, network event notification, etc.). Most monitoring systems are based around threshold ranges of measured values. Service Canary, like Monit, seems to be more oriented around event-based monitoring closer to what is done in logging infrastructures similar to an ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) or Sumologic based stack that will aggregate event / log data and derive numerical values that you can then alert upon.

Monit is able to at least react to an event with a response, I don't really see much about event reactions for Service Canary.
Thanks, I know what it is and I am up to my arse in people who believe this has value despite having actual _validated learning_ that overwhelmingly points to the opposite.

It turns out that when you fuck around with your customers and tell them that you have a product, only to have them find out that you have fuck-all and you are cobbling it together as they wait, your customers lose faith in you and think you are a douchebag.

And rightly so. Because pretending isn't doing.

Eric Ries has done untold damage to the tech and the business world. He is successful at one thing and one thing only: writing and marketing a book.

Generous people call his book a post-fact rationalization of success, but that would be overstating it grossly. Because he didn't have any success to rationalize post-fact.

It makes me angry that people think this horseshit has anything to do with creating value. Doing stuff and knowing how to do stuff has value. Yanking people around with smoke and mirrors does not. It mostly ends up wasting time and time is the one resource you can't get back.
A better idea is making minimum wage match the poverty line. We already habe UBI for seniors and tbe disabled, and it works great.
The basic function and use of both purses are basically indistinguishable - the customer's needs are the same in both products.

Sporty-looking cars that are low-to-mid priced really can't afford to handle like a sports car, since it is likely to be someone's main car - or back up when a car is in the shop. The expensive car is likely to be difficult to handle, especially in city driving and on the snow/ice. In addition, some of the cars perform poorly in city landscapes with potholes and speed bumps. If you've the money for the high-end car, those thigns are likely less of an issue.

In other words, the customer's needs are different with the cars. Now, I'm not an expert, but I don't think you can get the same sort of look/feel while still making it a practical enough car for the lower end market.

Please refrain from certain political posts here when the person you're responding to merely linked videos to technical ways of defending yourself.
Campaigns often conduct private polling that they pay for, why should this be illegal? I don't see anything wrong in that email - all it means is that they wanted to get more resolution for certain demographics, I think.
Wow, are you self-righteous and judgemental!

I am a fan of Winston Churchill the war-time Prime Minister that stood up to Hitler and helped save Britain and Europe from the Nazis. There is no shame in that. Does that mean I agree with everyone of his personal views? No of course not.

Where do you get off passing judgement, being the moral police, and projecting onto others like that?

Paraphrasing and attributing a quote to a specific individual are two entirely different things. Paraphrasing is approximating the quote, not who said it. It sounds like you might not understand what paraphrase means.

This is a discussion on Hacker News where discourse often unfolds in different and tangential directions.

I even stated my intention was not to nitpick but that I thought it was interesting as its such an oft-citied and well-known quote with its own uncertain history(provided in the link)
Did you see the Factor language?
For me, some of the things are:

* purpose - if I am up to something meaningful, that carries me through dips

* team - I don't like letting people down, so having a team I care about matters

* habits - things like my Sunday run to the ocean keep my life going automatically, meaning setbacks feel less like catastrophes

* friends - everybody has failures; friends support me through mine and tell me about theirs, which helps with perspective

* seeing feelings as transient - a meditation practice has helped me recognize that feelings come and go, and to breathe through them
High rent and home prices in SF have in recent history been driven by the finance industry, not tech. This trend has been ongoing since the mid 1980s. Articles and popular sentiment calling out the tech industry divert attention away from the true causes of this inflation on the demand side. On the supply side, of course SF has failed dramatically due to Nimbyism and the powerful entrenched interests of the landed gentry and real estate industries who work to keep housing supply limited.

As a SF resident since 2010 with a now 3 year old (Pac Heights pre-kid, Outer Richmond post), we are most likely to leave the city before he starts kindergarten. Although our preference would be to stay, the major factors are 1) home prices and 2) the school situation. We are renting at what would now be considered a reasonable rate, but our building has recently changed hands and the new owner's modus operandi is to Ellis or OMI as soon as our protected status is ended this summer. While we could afford to buy in the city, we would not be able to simultaneously budget for private schools. The public school system is in our opinion, far too much risk. Yes there are good schools, but even the best have crowd control problems for simple demographic reasons. Fully one third of SF school children attend private schools, and among the remaining two thirds there is an unfortunately sizable constituent whose family backgrounds are not as committed to education as we are. While we chafe at the insular homogeneity of the suburbs, we are also not so blind as to place our son in a school where significant resources must be expended on crowd control at the expense of quality education.

It's a tough bind to be in. Just yesterday I attended the grand opening ceremony for Alamo school's playground where supervisor Mark Farrell and Sandra Lee Fewer were both highly encouraging for families to stay in the Richmond. I don't doubt their sincerity and I do believe they are doing everything in their power to make the city more family friendly. But my household simply does not have the resouces to compete with all-cash offers from overseas investors or investment bankers. It will be sad to bid farewell to this city, but education for my son is far more important to me.
This is right.

Business is a suffering contest. Life ends in death.

There are beautiful things in both, but more times than not, despite all signals and urges to stop or give up, you must will yourself to keep moving your feet.

Those few who do give themselves the best chance to overcome adversity.
It is, thanks for looking it up!
We've been using etckeeper (/etc is a git repo so you can track changes) plus an after-commit hook to post to a chatbot.

We alert on uncommitted changes after one hour via nagios and track authors with GIT_COMMITTER_* env variables.

This is deployed to about 6000 machines. Works well.
As I have American ex-pat friends living in Paris with a young child, I can tell you that the main difference is support from society.

Replicating socialized daycare on your own is massively inefficient (often one or two children max per caretaker) and really challenging financially. Instead of paying for child care over the course of say 10-12 years, many countries in Europe effectively spread that out over your entire working life (40 or so years) via taxation. Clearly the American way needs to get someone a Child-Care Bond or Annuity or something...
I didn't claim that Buffet is unskilled either. He was always well qualified to do his job. But his success doesn't necessarily say much about his ability.
Well the old story I've heard is you don't buy on Ferrari, you buy two. One for the shop, one to drive.
If you don't persevere you achieve nothing. That fact alone is often enough to keep me going.
Aren't these conflicting ideas? To me a big advantage of dynamic type systems is that specifying behaviour and specifying what parts of the behaviour are statically computed are separate tasks.
What's the difference, from an economic standpoint? The original poster is saying that some people want cheese and other people need cheese, therefore the people who need cheese will not get what they don't need?

There's something absurd in this argument. No one's going to double their cheese consumption, just because they got money "they don't need", and no one is going to starve because the price of cheese went up.

But also, whatever problem we think we are debating here, it exists with or without basic income.
These are too many to be priority projects. Does the FSF have the resources to actually be involved in the development of these projects?
Because the US is considered a democratic nation, and therefore held to an higher standard, at least in mostly-Western communities. It's a sign of respect.
You say that like it'd be a bad thing.

The Wiki statement that Europe has banned antibiotics for growth promotion since 2006 may be true legally, but not in practice.

In fact, Denmark has used antibiotics to prevent infections in pig farming[1] up until at least the summer of 2016[2]. As such, some farms have 88% of their pig population infected with MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)[3], and over 10,000 Danes have been infected with pig-MRSA.[4]

You Draw It: What Got Better or Worse During Obama’s Presidency (interactive)
The real problem starts with the idea/wording of "one / two income family". It trivializes the issue and is likely rooted in the dated "housewife" concept that forces people into a permanent role, dependence, and general lack of choice, a social structure that really needs reform (and has been to a great extent in many countries).

Why can't parents work (earn) and take care of their kids at the same time? Why assign a (permanent) role of stay-at-home-parent to essentially half of the adults (with children) risking unnecessarily trapping them in roles and financial state that's unfair.
HN isn't one person, so I think you can blame the varied reactions on the origin and perspective of the article that the comment thread is hanging on, the relative quality of the arguments made in the particular comment being upvoted or downvoted, and the state of activity of particular groups either supporting or opposing TPP at that moment. The opposition nominally won at the point where Clinton renounced her support while Trump was an unstoppable juggernaut. After this final blow, the thread is largely centrist mourning and a bit of Trump-boosting because of his follow-through on a universally (in the US) popular promise.
From past experience, and the reason I browse with some fairly aggressive security settings (not the OP): I'm worried I could acquire a nasty rootkit-level virus.

I'm worried about that because I used to browse with no Noscript/similar, and then I got a infected by a rootkit, which I traced back to a new site I'd visited.

Since I didn't enjoy having to nuke my entire computer environment from orbit, I now have a rather locked-down browser.

I'd say that preventing potential employers from asking questions about salary while allowing applicants to ask whatever they want is creating, not removing, assymmetry. In both cases, parties are free to refuse to answer questions.

One could argue that the potential employer is in a position of power and should therefore be constrained but I don't see that as the case at all these days, at least not in the tech industry.
