It's not about using the controller without Steam. It's possible already to some degree. See https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller

It's about these new APIs. If they'll be tied to Steam, and games will use them, then controller will be useless when those games will be distributed through GOG and other non Steam stores.
The almost-ubiquitous Blackhawk SERPA retention holsters are a big contributor to this. The button you have to press to release the weapon from its holster makes it all too easy to hit the trigger before you intend to.
Trump is Impeached?
For a sidearm that you're going to leave in its holster until you intend to use it, the holster's retention mechanism sort of takes the place of a rifle's manual safety.
From the article:

> Could be... could be... but it’s unclear... could be... if...if... he could--- It is unclear... could be... could...

So, we don't if Trump keep his old device, but we will pretend he keep his old device.
But it is not manual curation, at least not officially. That's why the algorithm is so (in)famous, because it's an algorithm.
Someday this will be a reality.
I was running a crawler the other day on one of my PCs from a console app. Then suddenly the antivirus discovers that a page is infected, terminates the connection and wrecks havoc to the app which stays hung there for hours and I'm unable to terminate or even kill it from Task Manager. I had to restart the PC for the task to be forcefully killed. Thanks but no thanks. I uninstalled the damn thing the next day. How the fuck did antivirus software became too intrusive?
I love how you assert that with such confidence, as though you actually know what you are talking about!
A recent Windows 10 Update (I don't remember which) brought in periodic notifications from Windows Defender. They're not big bright green checkmarks, but it's a step in the right direction.

Sig Sauer handguns sold in the US are all manufactured in New Hampshire, largely to avoid import restrictions.
I've done some kernel and Linux on Amlogic and Rockchip. This is the number one issue to me. For instance the ODROID C2 with non standard Linux kernel 3.14....

Even on Android you're stuck with old kernels and versions because SoC providers only ship binary blobs for old kernels (and sometimes old forked kernels)
The US military can sometimes get their weapons cheaper, if there are a lot of foreign buyers to share the cost in various ways.

If Lockheed is successful and able to fund itself well, fund new weapons programs, the military is happier for obvious reasons. Not to mention the crossover between the public and private spheres when it comes to careers.

In any language with mandatory variable declaration the code wouldn't even compile. And any decent IDE would even flag this while writing the code.
Ask HN: Cyber security professionals, would you use a new job / contract board?
I am considering the feasibility of launching a new job exchange similar to Expert360 or Airtasker (eg short jobs, recommendations driven) but for cyber security professionals only. There doesn't seem to be a lot on the market currently / exclusively, but with an industry growing exponentially , there has to be demand.

This is a question for you cyber security professionals out there - if such a site existed, would you use it?
I heard that Trump has given NOAA 100 days to justify their existence, or face heavy cuts. Does anyone know the details?

Here is the closest article I could find: http://www.salon.com/2016/11/23/politicizing-climate-change-...
this is so true. simple fact in face of all those years of propaganda against iran.

by no means are they some altruistic peace lovers, but considering other countries in the region, US could get much more if they would be allies since technically there are no obstacles (apart from 1979 US embassy issue, but nobody got killed, all released eventually... worse things happen, ie Behgazi and nobody cares if it serves some agenda).

If you go there nowadays, all the signs are in 2 languages - Farsi and English. Everybody speaks at least a bit English. Compared to say France :)

Hang in there man! Last year I was in your situation, being at the receiving end of a divorce with 3 young kids. You are currently in the darkest place, I know. Sometimes everything looks black. Your ego sank through the bottom. But it will get lighter soon, don't give up hope. Although it might seem that there is no future, there certainly is, and it is brighter than anything you can imagine right now.

More people will help you than you think. Friends, family, colleagues. Try to find a friend that went through more or less the same situation, getting dumped by the one he/she loved.

> today it’s the polyphenols and carotenoids that seem all-important

What a joke, the only thing that's known for sure about "polyphenols" (and practically all non-vitamin "antioxidants", that was the previous hype) is that a healthy human body rapidly excretes them, as well it should.

The rest is hype, speculation, and the everlasting quest for the next "superfood"..

Carotenoids, okay, anything that's in egg yolks gets my stamp of approval. Of course the much-loved beta-carotin is drastically useless and pales in comparison to any source of (nonsynthetic) preformed Vitamin A from non-carnivore sources.. (and who the heck eats carnivores!)
Michael Abrash, and Palmer Luckey should move to Texas where Carmack is and co-found an Oculus successor. They could raise $500 million easily based on their recent $2 billion exit, or however much they would need. They could probably also hire away the very best people who wouldn't want to work at Facebook given the choice.

Carmack probably doesn't give a shit about Palmer's political tom foolery. All three of these guys don't get the respect they deserve because they not born rich and didn't attend fancy schools like Zuck and this guy.

Those douches claims to fame are creating knock offs of Friendster and iOS.

Palmer Luckey made consumer VR happen. Carmack/Abrash made internet FPS worlds happen. They weren't copying anyone.

Iribe is not needed, nor are any of the other douches that jumped on the bandwagon. Free the visionaries. Shit, they could fund it themselves with that Facebook cash.
Still not as many as Russia did during the same time period. Stalin alone blows that total right out of the water. Mao and the Khmer Rouge are right behind him.

None of this takes away from the morally questionable actions of the US. But saying the US is responsible for the most innocent civilian casualties in the last half century is not true.
Sure, I wouldn't recommend that solution if you have to delete single nodes a lot. But it is quite convenient if you don't need to do that.
Ah yes, that is a bit stupid, I just wanted an example of a traceback :)

So how does the -i parameter know to look in a local file or on github for the public key? Does it look for a ".pub" in the filename? Feels clunky to me.
Function keys are still just keys, there is nothing special about them. If anything, the problems are caused precisely because of people thinking like you, thinking that some input is somehow very special when it really isn't. That's how we got where we are.

Yes, I focused on buttons only, because that is the lowest bar (and we've yet to cross that).

Yes, I am fully aware that there are other kinds of inputs. We've had "analog" inputs for decades. Sliders, joysticks, sensors, etcetra. There is nothing difficult about them. All we need is a driver to understand the inputs, optionally identify them with a name, symbol, intended purpose or default function and other metadata, and export through an API that allows applications to easily map things to arbitrary inputs. And allow the user to filter inputs at a lower level; for example, if he finds that input device 6 has a nice input 17 that takes values in the range [0 to 255] that he'd like to treat as a binary input that reads high in [0 to 126] range and otherwise low, that should again be possible and very easy to do as long as the underlying API is sane.

Rumble and force feedback, keyboard leds, gpios in output mode, etc. are outputs, which could be exposed through a similar, arbitrarily mappable mechanism.

We've had all these for decades, and we've yet to cross the lowest bar of making all simple buttons bindable everywhere through a uniform API.

It is not hard, nobody just wants to do it (at a low level, USB HID comes surprisingly close! But then it has its struggles, what with the default keyboard mode that requires a bitfield for modifiers and bytes for other scancodes), and in the name of compatibility, we just keep piling hacks on top of legacy. And my mouse's thumb buttons are still useless most of the time.
Have you actually tired Defender and tested it out against Kaspersky? Nobody is telling you to rely on just Office's security features; Defender is a full fledged AV product built into Windows. I believe it and System Center Endpoint Protection are essentially the same product, and in fact, in Windows 10 Defender just applies SCEP policies instead of installing a new program.
It sucks that you cannot reset your Windows to MS-Vendor settings.

For example if you get some Acer laptop and reset it using windows built-in functionality it'll still reset it with all the bloatware - including AV.

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, Mosaddeq had scant respect for democratic norms - look into how he conducted his parliamentary votes.
According to the Brookings Institution memo on the Emoluments Clause[1]:

> if Mr. Trump enters office in what would obviously constitute a knowing and indeed intentional violation of the Emoluments Clause and then declines to cure that violation during his tenure, Congress would be well within its rights to impeach him for engaging in “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

So, it is conceivable that he could be removed within the next four years if he loses the support of Congress.

>What I think is even more stupid though is how the left is trying to compare Trump to Hitler

Right, you're going to get those comparisons if you praise China for the Tiananmen Square massacre, praise dictators like Kim Jong Un and Putin, suggest a national registry for everyone of a particular religion, suggest banning people from entering based on their religion(which is what he initially said, before tracking back after criticism), develop a culture of anti-intellectualism, frequently boast about IQ and genes, and deny statements you made when there is undeniable proof that you made them.

Let's not forget the only major politician to bring up Nazi comparisons- Trump, when he compared US intelligence to Nazi Germany.

>we wants to give greater access to the press of diverging viewpoints

The only new "news" outlet he wants to give access to is breitbart, a site which has had headlines like "Would you rather your daughter have Cancer or Feminism" and "Gay rights have made us dumber, it's time to get back in the close". These are not diverging viewpoints. These are the only piles of rubbish that actually support Trump, which is why he is more comfortable with them than the New York Times. What left leaning news outlet has he given more precedence to?

> He wants the average citizen to have greater access to firearms which is our final defense against a tyrannical government, while the left have been fighting to take away peoples 2nd amendments rights

I'm not sure how background checks take away the right to own guns, nobody on any side can take away the people's right to own guns without a judiciary decision. The only way a politician can take away the guns of citizens is by pushing forward something unconstitutional like Stop and Frisk, which Trump supports.

In the age of nuclear weapons, guns are not useful in overthrowing a tyrannical government. Nothing is, but what comes closest are modes of unsupervised communication to organise people. Of course, Trump is a supporter of mass surveillance.

>He wants to de-regulated the economy by quote "75%"

I'm not sure what you mean, but the biggest problem with the economy today is the unparalleled levels of inequality. Trump of course wants to drastically cut taxes for the rich.

It's understandable to dislike Obama or Clinton. I don't like a lot of their policies either. But Trump carries over everything that is bad about them and adds a whole lot more. He is not a reasonable alternative.
A combination of classes shared regardless of academic performance along with opportunities for students to be challenged up to their level would be a good start. In my day to day career and personal life I am not intellectually challenged at all times, I think it's valuable if school emulates this experience. I think it's important that students don't get placed in echo chambers where they begin to think that everyone thinks or performs like they do.

Like I said, I don't know how it would work but I don't think segregated schools are the solution, that's a step too far that eliminates opportunities for students of differing academic achievement to find common ground and teach each other something.

All students should be challenged up to their potential, having two options isn't fine grained enough. What do you do about the kids that are bored even in the "gifted" programs?
ArangoDB is very suitable for you. It's a multi-model database (key-value, document, graph).

Your data size is not big and can very fast handled on one machine.
the only thing that matters for weight (barring some serious disorders) is the balance of energy. eat excessive calories and your body stores it as fat. eat too little and your body burns fat for energy. regarding carbs: they make about 50 pct of the average persons caloric intake and they really aren't filling (atleast simple carbs). so cutting them out usually means getting rid of s major source of calories and usually replacing it with something more filling.

lowering fats would work as well since itd lower overall calories.
Very good insights, thank you! It may seem like too much for a one man project, but perhaps if I do my part people will follow suit? I'll keep you posted on how it turns out!
I also want to raise an alarm about a current AV practice, not mentioned in the article:

AV products like Bitdefender will MITM
your HTTPS connections by installing their
own root certificates, by default and
without warnings

In the name of "security", this undermines the very purpose of what HTTPS is about, knowingly endangering their users.

And consider that I, a highly technical and security conscious software developer, only noticed it because I saw green icons appearing in my search results and then noticed that Google's SSL certificate is now a fake. And I only noticed it because I know how this shit works and those green icons seemed suspicious.

And yes, I'm using the word "fake", because I doubt that companies like Bitdefender have to pass the same certifications as a certificate authority or that they have any deals whatsoever with Google. And it's a serious vulnerability, because their certificate can get stolen and used by malicious software, not to mention you now have to trust a third-party with all of your secure connections, which includes your Google searches exposing your most secret desires, your Facebook and Slack chats, your bank account, everything. A third-party that does not have the scrutiny of your open-source web browser.

That's just preposterous and these products only survive because users are gullible and technically illiterate.

This - minus the Microsoft part - is what I have been preaching for many years, even back in the late nineties, before pulling myself together and decamping for Linuxland.

But users insist. I have probably never convinced anyone to go without the AV, at least not on a permanent basis.

The best I can do is usually to set up som ClamWin and a daily or weekly scan for everybody's peace of mind.
If you go keto/atkins/etc for a while you get sick of meat. At least I have. It becomes tedious to eat and my portion sizes have dropped. I end up eating more vegetables than I ever did before, and take more pleasure from them.

Well, you can't say that Japan is anti-intellectualism at least.
> American government, which itself is responsible for the deaths of most innocent civilians over the last century

Oh geez. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler, Mussolini, Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, broadly the Empire of Japan, among others would like a word with you.

> Starting with dropping the atomic bomb in Hiroshima

An entirely appropriate act to stop a rampaging war machine that had slaughtered millions in a war of conquest in east Asia, and joined with the Axis powers in declaring war on the United States etc. Dramatically more Japanese would have died, had the US simply invaded instead of using nuclear weapons. More importantly, far more Americans would have died in the process of trying to stop the aggressor: Japan.

> toppling Saddam Hussein

The US lost thousands of soldiers, and a trillion dollars, trying to keep the Iraqis from killing each other in a civil war after making the mistake of removing Saddam. You're obviously being intentionally disingenuous about what actually happened: the Iraqi factions declared war on each other, the extreme majority of all civilian deaths were Iraqis killing each other.

> funding Mujhadeen on Afghanistan

Something that didn't kill nearly as many civilians as the vast Soviet genocide / invasion it was meant to interrupt.
You're absolutely right! To integrate the more serious data, I would have to partner with some of the medical and insurance organizations. I'm going to take it one step at a time, and see where that gets me!
Looking at the "comments" buttons, it feels like this is just reposting highly voted stuff from a number of controversial sub-Reddits? Salaciously presented news is not necessarily "fake". Lots of real stories here, including facts like "Dow Hits 20,000 For First Time in History".
It would be a good use of IPFS to mirror this data into that network.
I can generalise diets pretty easy. Eat less calories than you burn and loose weight. Eat whatever you want if you can abide by this rule you will loose the weight. But to be healthy. Well you have to eat healthy to be healthy. And that means getting all the fat, carbs and protein your body needs. And what your body needs I agree you can't generalise.
> except for fairly straightforward things like "eat vitamin C or you will get scurvy".

Even that's a myth, funnily enough. You don't need ascorbic acid per se, you just need.. ascorbate. With the acid we can synthesize the ascorbate our cells can work with. But we can also eat it directly pre-formed by other herbivores, contained in medium-rare meats or not-cremated-for-hours livers, or soft-boiled egg yolks etc.
i disagree. it really isn't hard to follow what science says. problem is there is a lot of money to be made peddling bullshit. it's a lot like finance where 99 pct of stuff out there is garbage but there does exist fundamental guiding principles that exist as fact.
Because Hollywood movies are not generally based in, you know, reality. They're meant to be flashy and futuristic because that is what the audience expects in sci-fi movies. Real life isn't flashy and futuristic, though, and there's a lot of requirements to the suits which aren't super exciting.

So, yknow, good thing it's not a toy but a functional piece of clothing that's supposed to help astronauts do their job.
For each of the 3 tests the training sets were classified with a biopsy, images were randomly seleced then blurry images were filtered out by a separate dermatologist. The ratios Benign:Malignant were 70:65, 97:33, and 40:71 respectively.

These close-to-even ratios make for a more powerful test of classification. I would assume that these test samples have biopsy data means that some dermatologist thought that they might be malignant (unnecessary medical operations are unethical). This might lead to some bias towards samples that are difficult for humans to diagnose.

Separating these into binary classifications of specific tumor types makes it easier to classify than out of every possible tumor type (as a dermatologist does).

Still the claims this paper makes are very promising. A lot of the training data was classified by dermatologists, not biopsy. Using more biopsy data could lead to even better classification, as well as improvements to the model.
