The investors should get an automatic tax benefit for releasing the IP into the public domain. There are great companies that you've never heard of that die every day and nothing ever happens to their IP. It's a massive economic waste.
When I saw this in the HN feed, my first thought was "I should see if I got that email"
globstar is on by default now so this will work.
I don't mind getting such emails. Every now on then there's a free happy hour invitation in them. I try to attend as many as I can. Usually they are good opportunities to see what companies in town are up to (and of course free beer and snacks). Some manager at the happy hour ends up asking me 'Why are you looking for a change?' to which I reply 'I am not. Your company invited me so I came. Now it is up to you to convince me to interview for your company'.
If they use their data centers to imprison detractors, that also sounds illegal. It doesn't make data centers sketchy on their own, though.

True, but prosecution at the levels we're talking about is as much a political exercise as a legal one.

Wikipedia's background is weak, but Northern Securities Co. v. United States in 1903 [1], one of the first major anti-trust prosecutions, was equally novel by the fact that the US government was choosing to prosecute it at all.

The Sherman Anti-Trust Act (1890) had been on the books for better than a decade. Under a unified government, applicability is rarely as much of a question as enforcement.

When I was using bitdefender, this was the first setting I disabled after installing it. Bitdefender also has a slew of other issues, including BSODing after installation.
Yes, and for programming as well. Should be easy to test.
Mine was more procedural - store each line in a hash as you visit it, and only print lines you haven't already visited. awk is awesome ;-)

awk '!h[$0] {h[$0]=1; print}' faces.txt
You're one of the first developers I've talked to that actually implemented feature-licenses (modules, add-ons, etc.). That's something I'd love to know more about. How do you handle toggling features within the codebase? I'd imagine that you'd handle it kind of like you would with feature flags?
This addresses probably my number one pain point jumping between React - React Native apps. Looking forward to trying it out!
We can make plastic parts at the same volumes but without the mold startup cost (that is how we are cost competitive). Because we don't need to machine a mold out of aluminum, we can get started immediately from your digital file.

Because we work from digital files, we can do a lot of other fun things like customize every object to be slightly different! It's all about zero spin-up cost and time!
Thank you! Actually I did. However I wanted to try out new technologies and since I haven't used React Native, I decided to try it out. I really like doing things from scratch, the whole networking and the bare bones. I could probably buy cheaper ready solutions, but electronics/software are some of my hobbies.
Peek Launcher is and Android home screen app we rethought from the ground up. Instead of searching for an app in your drawer Peek Launcher tries to understand your current context and automatically suggests the right app.

It would be great if you could try the app (it's free) and give us some feedback!
I'd say it's far better strategically to make sure swift on iOS is the official mainstream way of developping an app ( which isn't the case yet) before you start to advocate using it on a totally new territory.

How much credibility would you have if you were to say to backend developpers " swift is such a great language, you'll love coding with it on the server side", and they hear that iOS still can't include the stdlib because the language is still not stable enough ? I've tried, and the answer is none.
Lawn mowers are already safe enough to operate in nothing but your underwear while drinking a beer. I know this because I've seen people do it.

I'd call that safe enough to operate unsupervised in an enclosed yard.
Surprised https://standardnotes.org/ hasn't been mentioned. It popped up on HN a week or so ago and I've been using it ever since. Very simple, elegant solution with a focus on longevity. It's exactly what I was looking for.
Does anyone know if it is meta-stable, or is that just where the research is heading?
I think it is applicable to "programs as proofs" (i.e. the opposite direction, which Wadler also makes), but more as an analogy. Once you say programs are proofs, then you reduce programs to logic, while computation is a natural (as well as mathematical) phenomenon that exists outside of any formalism.
I have some similar experiences myself. I take modafinil for narcolepsy.

A 200mg dose makes me really sleepy. A 50-100mg dose makes me more alert, especially with a small amount of caffeine. A larger amount of caffeine with 50-100mg makes me sleepy again.

How did you get the sequencing done? I know I've been tested for the gene associated with cataplexy (HLA-DQB1*0602 I think), but not sure about the others you mentioned.
Perhaps the term "stunt" made my comment sound negative. That was not my intention.
I have to say I find it both incongruous and disturbing that one of the architect's of the new administration's transition is simultaneously buying himself an escape pod in case things don't work out at the day job. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence, in either him or his erstwhile employer.
I've searched a lot for such a package, most are five years old and doesn't work. Best I could find was the x11 package, but most examples doesn't work. And if you go with a wrapper you could as well use Electron or nw.js witch I'm using atm.
You were downvoted, but yes it is and if you want to use this analogy for dating then this is the most important point in your parent comment:

>Sure if companies were contacting me with better jobs that I currently have or jobs that I'm a shoe-in for (ie. they've done their research on me and they want ME not just someone who has certain keywords on their LinkedIn profile) then I'd be super happy

is exactly right. (The following is from the perspective of a woman, though I'm not one.) If a better man you're more interested in and who really is a match for you and interested in you, does the same same thing it is not creepy anymore. You can take this analogy very far. Whether you're bothering a girl or she's happy to hear from you depends on how great you are, not what exactly you do to reach out to her. You can really learn a lot from the parent comment, and your insight shouldn't be downvoted.
Recruiters are salespeople. Treat them as such.

Spark already does this. It classifies emails into "personal", "newsletters" and a few others — it will only notify you of personal emails.
Is there any specific reason that you went with public/private keys as opposed to user accounts w/ associated license keys? Then again, maybe your app is primarily used while offline so you may need to do it that way.
Why are you referring to IBM ?
Some of my team have fought this battle and lost. If you don't respond, you get a tap on the shoulder which is even more distracting. Unfortunately, the number of people who find this annoying are in the minority, so it is what it is. If it's the worst thing I have to deal with at work, I'll live.

I would rather have the various tools, command lines, and settings used than the pirated content. Insert obligatory "why not both?" here but seems like the secret sauce is closely-guarded IP (is this irony?).
Monopolies in cable are extremely rare (across the US). More importantly, the internet is adding more competition every month. A law across the board is a terrible idea because of this.
From what I read so far it looks like while you can obtain US citizenship while holding another one already, it is strictly prohibited to get new citizenship without renouncing US one. If this is correct, does it mean Peter is not US citizen anymore?

My basic understanding of this matter is this: never co-operate with the intelligence community.

Shit on these people and burn their identities whenever you can because they're not your friends. You might even be able to limit the future career opportunities of a younger intelligence officer who's approached you by not only telling your friends, but informing the entire internet.

These people may be a necessary extension of diplomacy, but history shows that it's likely toxic for any individual to be ensnared as an asset in any kind work for this sector of the government, foreign or domestic.

There are enough 'useful idiots' who will fall for this, you don't need to be one of them. Unless you're an actual employee of an intelligence agency or a contractor, these people will fuck you over in a heartbeat.

Anyone unfamiliar with this line of business could do worse than to read any old basic textbook on intelligence and counter-intelligence work (such as 'Thwarting Enemies at Home and Abroad', linked below. There's a good audiobook version on Audible).

Training in this business is based on cultivating anti-social behavior in susceptible individuals. Just as you don't want any garden variety sociopaths in your life, you don't want to deal with people who've been trained to fuck with you.

I've been keeping a simple text-file journal since 2010: one file per day, simple file naming conventions and directory structure (~/Journal/2017/2017-01-26.txt and such). I use it to track food intolerances and health issues mostly, though also record the names of books as I finish reading them, movies I see, and significant life events. I've got a handful of scripts to help me do things like grep through ranges of dates, and search for items with simple tags so I can, for instance, easily find when I last ate a particular food. It is simple and works for me, so I have never invested the time or effort to make something more structured, though I might write a few more tools to help with the structure I do have,at some point.
You're just trolling this guy. Science knowledge is not transferable. I cannot make a rocket scientist do high energy particle physics research. If there is no demand for rocket scientist then his wage would be low.

How hard is that to understand?
So he helps sets up the scenario for role-reversal Atlas Shrugged and then goes off to his own Galt's Gulch anyway?

What a hero.
Actually, this is on top on my to-do list. I've been thinking about it for some time. Currently I'm planning to do it via motor and a reductor with ~1:1000 rate. The other issue is to find a cheap way to connect all radiators without putting cables everywhere. I'm open for suggestions :)
I agree with you on it being a painpoint.

Is this a web router as well? I think they hinted at that, but it was a little unclear to me. Also, is it really true that react native apps have routing that is too complex for a URI? I can't think of a reason why that is immediately true.
An interesting example of serendipity. Did the research done on horses help directly in developing solutions for humans?
It's interesting to compare it to an encoding like base65536 [1].

From that respect, alphabinary feels less like an encoding and more like steganography, especially given how low efficiency the encoding is overall. Given that steganography of a sort seems at least partially an intended goal, that's not necessarily a criticism here, just an interesting observation.

If my goal were just to make sure I can encode binary things in a tweet, the current best bet appears to be base65536 (with the dream of Unicode filling out enough to support a good base131072), but alphabinary seems like an interesting idea to keep in mind for possible steganographic uses where one might want to make it less obvious any encoding was used at all.

Yea, Amazon's the most spammy of any known company, but the one that really blows me away is Apple. They occasionally send me recruiter spam at my work email. The work email that they got from its team membership in my employer's iOS developer account. That's pretty brazen.
Google has announced an effort to move all CAs to Certificate Transparency, here is a Threatpost piece on the topic - https://threatpost.com/google-to-make-certificate-transparen....

They will already log their public certificates to CT and this will continue given their push for CT.
It seems this is getting enough traction that the Parliament has officially asked the Immigration Dept why Thiel got his citizenship even if he didn't spend enough time over there. It will be interesting to watch what precedence this situation's popularity will set - was this his money (not a bribe just the fact he is somewhat celebrity) or other requirements that me and you can fulfill.
I've been mostly fine with my method because every 4 Pomodoro I take a long 30 minute break. Also, not every 5 minute sessions results in messages I need to read and respond to, so those are essentially breaks.
Could someone familiar with these kinds of arrangements please explain why the commission rate would drop so precipitously when quota is exceeded above 250% for a given customer?

It's either one or the other. A culturally enlightened electorate is largely immune to populism.
Sadly no Kindle / digital format available. I did find that the online version run through pdfcreator (printer driver) and then through k2pdfopt produced something surprisingly readable on smartphones.

that much money could make a serious difference

To what, things you care more about? You could make the same argument about anything. It would be one thing if you were critiquing the administrators of Wikipedia deciding to allocate resources to this - since they are answerable to a variety of stakeholders - but when you critique someone for choosing to donate to alleviate a specific problem then I fail to see how that's any of your business.
This is just a thinly veiled partisan attack.

I don't agree with all of Thiel's actions or beliefs but he's getting singled out for being different. Anyone with billions of dollars is gonna be able to pack up and sit high and tidy in case of disaster. Someone with homes spread across several states or countries and the money to buy their own security and healthcare has the same opportunities and and no reason to be loyal to any given state, anyway, but we are not
forming online lynch mobs to get them.

It's a horrific thing when Iranian PhD students might be banned from the country (yes) but fuck Thiel for being a citizen of the world. Huh?
if you're going to down vote, please respond with why
I have no problems not checking my email. Email has become the dumping ground for emphemera. Clingy bullshit from companies you have bought stuff from, people who whine, automated emails from so many different places despite adding new filters every week.

Want my attention? A handwritten note is actually the best way nowadays. Because I only check my work email once or twice per day, and I only check my personal email every two days or so.
Well... taste is subjective, so yes, yes it does.

Basically, their flavor packs taste better to me than actual orange juice, something about the acidity I think is quite appealing to me.
I didn't make a claim if they were trustworthy. Google has leveraged their properties to force people to trust them with the rest of the internet, regardless of if you think they are trustworthy or not.
Create .gitignore files for your project
Any news on android development using swift ? The android folder in the swift.org project has always intrigued me.
I actually did a test myself with pot a while back, also playing against a computer, my thinking there was that it would provide the most consistent opponent skill level. I tried varying amounts. I saw a fairly significant improvement with small doses, less than what someone would use for entertainment purposes, an amount just before what could be called a high. I think it may increase concentration at the right dosage level.
US simply doesn't recognize any other citizenships but it doesn't care what other passports you hold.
3% is a normal daily up and down for GOOG. In the past 15 minutes, it's regained 1/3rd of that loss in after-hours trading. The share price is still basically sitting at its all-time high. Your comment is potentially misleading, confusingly worded, and it's unclear what point you were trying to make. Some combination of those things should explain any downvotes.
There was an interview on Fresh Air with the guy who wrote the story about the ultra-wealthy survivalists, and one guy he talked to. He was a VC, but I don't remember his name. He said, "With all the money you're spending on being prepared to run away, how much have you spent trying to prevent the collapse you fear? How much have you given to your local homeless shelter?"

I feel that's very relevant. Peter Thiel clearly has more than enough money to help stop whatever he's afraid of happening in the US, and he has the connections to other people with money that can help as well. Yet, here he is, trying to run away instead of doing the right thing.
one morning coffee and 3 PM coffee!!
I don't think anyone disagrees with that. The question is at which point the embryo becomes enough of a human where its needs outweigh the needs of the parents.
From what I hear, Amazon and AWS have totally different cultures (AWS being much better)
React Navigation: Create shared elements transition
If you are responding to the emails and are looking for a practical way to (politely) express your frustration, consider CCing every Amazon recruiter who has contacted you on your "no thanks" emails to new Amazon recruiters. It may get a message across when your recruiter receives a response that they can see addressed to 20+ of their coworkers which begins "As I have expressed to your colleagues, [...]".
yup! the documentation uses react-navigation: https://github.com/react-community/react-navigation/blob/mas...
Inevitably, you will miss a bunch of days in a row. Then what? #1 changes quickly from a positive to a negative pressure producer.

My preference most of the time is to optimize for discontinuity since it is usually inevitable and I want to minimize negative pressure producers. "Being in the flow" is great for productivity and all but I'd rather not count on it or optimize for it. Instead:

#1 When exiting a work session, I write on a Post-it note the next immediate steps/chunks/steps in order of priority. I usually also write down the next theoretical milestone/goal these steps are part. Sometimes I'll even write down the tentative 2nd milestone.

Note that this is separate from my Github-based task tracking and kanban board. That system is for when I'm in the flow and can have reasonable expectations of continuity (and when working with others).

This technique minimizes "spinning up". Instead of having to mentally conceptualize the project and all its tasks to start working, I just start working and let the full scope of the project flow into my brain as I progress.

If I enter flow state as a result, great. If I don't, no biggie — something gets done and I'm off to the next thing in life. #2 and #3 fit right in here. Rinse and repeat.

Disclaimer: I like colored Post-it notes.
My point was that it's the flavor packs that make it taste better, not the deoxygenation.

Deoxygenation alone, without the flavor packs, make it taste worse.
No, I don't think that is correct. The US is silent on dual citizenship but I believe that it's only if you pledge your allegiance to another country (e.g. to defend that country in a war) that you are deemed by the US to have revoked your citizenship. I'm guessing that didn't happen in Thiel's case.

EDIT: to address your edit - you need to look at the wording of the relevant INA section which includes "with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality". That's the key part, you have to have the intent to abandon your US citizenship. I know plenty of US-born people who hold dual citizenship so it is definitely possible.
The $99B Idea
This manufactured outrage is ridiculous. Diversification in terms of citizenship is vital when you are a very high net worth individual, everybody does it.

The only thing that Thiel does different from others is to actually take second citizenship in a civilized country instead of just going to some tax haven in the carribean or malta/cyprus where you can pay for citizenship.
