It's pretty rude to ask every visitor to a free report to hand over contact details. What are you planning to do with all those contact details?

I can only think of plans that range from annoying to malicious. None that are good.

Don't normalize rude behavior. Conditionally free is not free.
I don't disagree in general, but Oracle is a tech company and technology has a particular function in our society that wasn't invented by MBAs.

The role of technology is to drive productivity growth, which is ultimately the only thing that improves living standards (or at least has the potential to do so).

A pizza sold in 1987 is just as useful as a pizza sold in 2017 measured by its nutritional value. But the same is not true of technologies from 1987.
At no point does the OP say a friend made millions.

There was the mention of an unrelated mobile app guru who had made millions from mobile apps.

But that was simply to point out the irony, that even THAT guy, thoguht it was better to build a SaaS app than a mobile app.
Which in the context of a strike, isn't possible. The purpose of these kind of labor actions is to force a clarification about with whom one holds solidarity, in this case refugees and immigrants.

Breaking the strike is breaking the strike. They did not hold with refugees and immigrants, even after the taxi drivers explicitly asked them to do so. Everything else is just trying to mitigate damage to the point where people forget/engage in apologetics to obfuscate the choice they made.
Get some free PR by condemning the EO while actually offering support to Trump administration by removing pressure by nullifying the strike.

Now that's being a hypocrite on a grand grand scale.
They're helping their own workers. While a good thing, the rest of ther message is complete PR and sending ubers to JFK undermines the strikes, because it's such an easy way for them to make a profit.
If you learn how to break features down into small chunks, you can commit to master near-daily while still doing git flow.

It is significantly easier to hit buy it now than it is to construct a functional temperature controlled oven.

People who want to DIY often modify toaster ovens, but I haven't heard of anyone construction their own heating chamber as you've described.

Note that portability is a concern for me, since I move often.
> Should nothing be done according to you?

Not sure if you're aware of this but America has a Department of Homeland Security as well as USCIS, both funded to the tune of billions of dollars to provide screening of the immigration process. There is a lot more than "nothing" that has been done to regulate immigration before Trump's executive order.
Agreed. This is a tech forum and this doesn't belong here, just like whatever Googles CEO had for breakfast doesn't belong here.
That's pretty much a Linux installation pretending to be an app. I'd see it as a workaround not a solution.

The underlying problem with android, as touched on in the article, is that your hardware vendor is the administrator of your phone.

Security on Android relies in the idea that who ever built the OS signs it, and any changes to system libraries, with a secret key. That's a lot of control. Couple that with lack of root and its not your phone.

Termux is like saying... 'I wish I owned my flat so I could remodell it how I want "
"it is possible to redecorated your rented flat if you only put plasterboard over the walls"

Will solve thier problem, doesn't fix the insidious loss of power over our computerised lives these platforms (Android, Web applications) lead to.
That's not what Leninism means tho (it's not "smash the state" as Bannon says, it's about having a vanguard party and control of political power by the working class).
My point isn't whether this particular protest is "good" or "bad". Even knowing relatively little about this protest, I think that I would likely agree with the protesters. My issue is that I don't see any reason why Uber should be obligated to stop service just because there is a protest going on. A lot of people in this thread seem to feel that having a protest entitles you to ruin other peoples' day and anyone who helps the people you are screwing is a bad guy. I see no good argument that supports that mentality.
>No product is going to cure people of anything and certainly no commercial company has that kind of capability.

And so of course we should not try to build software that takes vulnerability into account? Just because you cannot cure something doesn't mean you cannot help.

I applaud Monzo for this effort, they continue to prove that moving to them was a good choice.
Your comment is nothing but alarmist rhetoric. I mean, each sentence is specifically engineered to be as negative-sounding as you can make it. People don't usually do that, even with actual dictators.

> being powered by

Donald Trump needs a supernatural explanation, presumably because you think he's incompetent. At the least, you're saying he can't do what he's doing by himself.

> conspiracy theorist Steve Bannon

The term "conspiracy theory" is supposed to discredit him. But, if he has trouble telling truth from reality, why is he enabling Donald Trump? People who make mistakes interpreting data lose elections.

> board member of Cambridge Analytica, an analytics firm that used psychological profiling to cynically exploit the American electorate.

It's called "marketing", and everyone here does it. Nothing wrong with it. Again, how's a "conspiracy theorist" going to exploit psychological profiling? They're supposed to see patterns where none exist, which means whatever analytics they're doing would be ineffective.

> This is an existential threat to the American public and to the world

You haven't actually described anything that could be an "existential threat". Examples include: Nuclear war, a large asteroid, an incurable highly contagious disease, etc. You can only call him an "existential threat" if you believe America and the world will literally stop existing in 4-8 years.

You did say it right after a comment about being appointed to a "national security" position. I imagine many people on HN get triggered by the phrase "national security", getting flashbacks to George Bush and the Patriot Act. If you think politicians have been abusing the term "national security" to push their bad policies, you should welcome the position being effectively removed from the President's advisory.

Nothing you've presented is really bad, so I'm not really sure how to respond to the facts. People might be interested in Stefan Molyneux's "The Untruth about Steve Bannon" video[1], though. He's not as bad as people are making him out to be.

HN is not the place to post politics. There are plenty of other sites.
And it is unacceptable. The US presidency and US intelligence community cannot be wielded as a blunt political instrument.
All protests should be relegated to government sanctioned free speech zones /s
I do not think I missed the subtextual meaning at all. I explicitly drew attention to the misuse of the term in my last paragraph.

The textual meaning is in my opinion more important, and more often than not completely lost on people. The term 'signalling' is a bit of biology/economics terminology and people aren't very familiar with it. The idea of cost-based credibility isn't expressed within the term, but must be learned beforehand. So they just say 'virtue signalling' because it sounds clever and it remains opaque to them...
This is a bizarre and inflammatory conspiracy theory in itself.

A politician using an analytics firm that uses psychological profiling...welcome to the 20th century.
Unfortunately can audit and do audit are very different things. I'd agree absolutely FOSS has a higher possible level of trust than a proprietary solution, however in practice I don't think it's necessarily the case.

To take one example with a propietary solution with code from a single company, it is possible for a level of background checking to be done on all contributors. With a FOSS solution, that's just not possible, so you get risks like what if one of the contributors is being paid by a nation state who would like to place a specific bug/vulnerability into a codebase.

Of course in practice the world is much muddier than that as pretty much all propietary software vendors make ample use of code they did not write, and in many cases on open source code that they don't really controle the provenance of.

Personally I'd say the idea of having a high level of trust in any larg'ish software stack is very dubious these days given the likely incentives of various groups to compromise them.
Well, if other ride-share companies follow suit, Trump supporters will soon have no other choices through which to make a political statement.
I like how you're saying that Bannon is giving conspiracy theorists a bad name :)

(And Snowden is more accurately called a 'whistleblower' or maybe, if you want to get creative, a 'conspiracy practitioner'
This is not about how much money they can make.

This is about showing their support to the government, their allies.

> Every Trump supporter I know is embarrassed by the travel ban. So this doesn't quite effect "half of the country".

I'm going to guess that your anecdata set size is relatively small.
I'm in that same boat with both exploit and performance concerns. I'm trying ClamAV right now. For auditing and hardening I used Lynis. Any other tools you recommend? I need an external scanning tool.
Freedom of assembly is a hell of a thing.
>Also, I wouldn't be surprised if a reasonable bit of the exploration everyone did was motivated by the fact that they were "hacking" the platform :P

Nor would I. Even at the age of 8, before I was really able to understand the code, there was a thrill to it, in a cracking-open-the-toy kind of way.

And it helps that Smalltalk does exploration better than just about any other language/environment. You can just open up any Smalltalk app and extend/take it apart using the same tools the developers did to build it.

>There seems to be a sad lack of excellent online communities nowadays; I've long looked for sites to complement HN, but without success.

Lainchan (a sort-of cyberpunk/whatever chan) is quite popular with some of the people who are here on HN. It's a very different atmosphere, but it does emphasize actual good discussion. And it's got a containment board for politics, which always helps.

At the very least, their magazine (https://lainzine.neocities.org) is worth looking at, if not for the generally interesting articles, than for the outright strangeness of a lot of it.
By pissing off half the country?
In most professions, there's a feeling of unity. Taxi companies and drivers will either stand with striking drivers, or be respectful enough to not disrupt their action.

Then comes Uber, the vulture that swoops in all in the name of disrupting the market. They're allowed to do it, sure. Whether it's morally right is another thing.
> Instead you should do the most good, and
> talk loudly about it.

That I'm 100% onboard with.
There are ridesharing apps that integrate with local taxi fleets, too! I heard of Curb and Flywheel, which I'm going to try out soon.
I'd really like to see some guides for using rust incrementally in a large C or C++ codebase.

* What are some good ways to deal with a lot of C macros and C/C++ header files in general.

* What is a good build strategy for integrating with a big, say, cmake build system?

* How to choose APIs, other than always using the lowest common denominator (C) for everything? Put another way, how do you choose which parts to write in rust first so that you don't end up with rust code that looks like it's translated from C?

* How to work with other memory allocation strategies, like a region allocator (like postgres memory contexts)?
What moral obligation?
Benchmark like this are not useful if they are not real world. It means you should show minified and gzipped size, the same long signature in webpack will be heavily compressed. Also the TypeScript usage will lead to better optimizations with a TypeScript loader in Webpack.

Yes. The US signed the Berne Convention. Signatories to the convention must recognize Moral Rights. In practice the US's protection of moral rights are much weaker than other countries. There is VARA for statues, paintings, and certain photographs. For everything else the US just says, "no we totally protect moral rights under already existing laws. Believe us."[1]

So.....Trump is a genius? No one ever thought of doing this before?

I'm thinking she is over-reacting.
I'd be curious to know of that's true. Japan has it everywhere and by everywhere I mean porn manga in every convenience store in the country of which about 3% depicts acts with children. Does Japan have a higher rate of real incidents? I have no idea. If we take violent media normalizes violence afaik we find the opposite. Violent media is up, actual violence is down.
Thats not likely to get it removed.
The Closure Compiler with ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATION is a great tool, and I wish more projects used it. However, when I tried it on my own projects I found that it is a relative pain in the arse to export absolutely everything that you don't want the compiler to remove or rename: this might be why it didn't gain a lot of traction.
By choosing the right half to piss off.
Tesla was selling something which is marketed as being able to handle freeway driving under good weather conditions. It can't be trusted to do even that right. The "rams into vehicle stopped at left of roadway" feature is unacceptable. That's an expected possibility on a freeway. Users would legitimately expect auto-braking to activate for that.
The question asked wasn't whether the Civil Rights protesters shouldn't have inconvenienced people. It's whether a company should force its workers to join a protest.
His comment is rhetorically partisan, but you haven't come close to establishing with evidence that it's "alarmist". I'd direct your attention to Eliot Cohen's essay in The Atlantic from this morning:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/01/a-clari...

Cohen is no liberal; he cofounded PNAC and served as a deputy under Rice in the Bush administration. And his take on Trump's last week is even more urgent than the parent comment's.

It is in fact not normal at all for the President's "chief strategist" --- an informal, non-confirmable role, created to house someone who stood a decent chance of washing out of Senate confirmation --- to replace the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Secretary of Energy, and the Director of National Intelligence on the NSC PC.

Someone watching this unfold dispassionately might be forgiven for coming to the conclusion that Bannon is there because he doesn't trust Trump alone in a room by himself with a bunch of actual adults; Trump is, as has been reported for over a decade, famously impressionable.
A portfolio you can start by building whatever it is you would like to offer as a contracting service. Something that displays almost like a demo for what you could be hired to do while freelancing. More important than a portfolio though is references and quotes. Start doing work in your network for cheap and for a quote and reference at the end of the work. When you start building this you will not only build up a network of hopefully happy customers but also a portfolio of work you have been paid to do. The other option is to do 1099 work for someone or a company that has the contracts already for you to work on remotely.
I'm not an EE on our team, so I can't be sure, but I do know it happens. I don't know what they do to keep quality up. Even if they do fail, they're cheap enough that its not a problem to replace the whole sensor. There are also fail-safes so that nothing mission critical can happen if a few things go down.
Yes. You've realized the point of a strike. You may also notice that they usually don't happen too often because the goal is to make you realize that either their current situation isn't livable anymore, or because there's a message to be spread. Do it too often and people turn against the protesters.

It lasted one hour. Get over it. Social change doesn't happen without inconvenience.
You seemed to have missed the point. They are free to assemble, but I see no reason why it is wrong for someone else to help the people getting screwed by a protest.
I think instead of commending Lyft for what could be seen as marketing (they also did not stand in solidarity with the JFK strike, we should be discussing ways that ride-sharing technology can be used to support unionized drivers. I admittedly don't know much about the details, but apps like Curb http://gocurb.com/ at least claim to be working with licensed cabbies. I'd love more information on alternatives to the big ride-sharing apps that are more overtly focused on workers rights, instead of calling a fleet of contractors "disruptive."

I don't think it's ruined it at all. I think naive people just like living in a bubble and deplore the truth.
Which two poster children?

Trunk Based Development is also "all work in feature branches that live for less than a day or two". One small difference to Github-flow though: https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/alternative-branching-mode...
I think you're overstating the enormity of building a SaaS. "Support, billing, failed charges, churn, and thousands of other things" are easily managed when there is 1 customer. 2 customers is a little more difficult. 3 even moreso. But most SaaS founders I know of would agree that in the early stages, the "I am not sure if this is actually going to work" stages, managing things that become a headache at scale is actually quite manageable.

You don't start with 1,000 clients thankfully. You start with 0. And then 1. And so on and so forth.
I think the difference is that the article is saying that truly "great" programmers come with experience. Experience you can't have at 15.

Which is something I can get behind.

The 15 year old programmer can most DEFINITELY be a "prodigy" and will without hesitation have a leg up on most people - including the fact that (s)he will get the experience "sooner" than most. At 25, (s)he will have a decade of experience. At 37, I'm coming up on 6ish years of experience as a programmer (Late bloomer and what not).

That doesn't change the fact that being a "prodigy" doesn't give the breathe and depths of experience that comes with... well... time and age.
Just wanted to say, you and the team are an inspiration. The CLJS community's work goes a long way toward making web applications - dare I say it - reliable - and fun to code too.

Congrats on this great release. We're all looking forward to what comes next!
> TBH, if Zero Hedge accurately reported that the loss of wages was due to the executives who authorized the R&D for this system half of their readers would immediately denounce the site as Communist propaganda.

Not sure I understand; your argument is that automation is the result of sinister executive R&D?
I sell something similar but charge at least a hundred times more per project / site. You should really promote this as the "local" (country based) solution and raise prices. For £75 you will only get annoying cheapskates.
Indeed, it will be a difficult problem to fix. For starters, being tougher on industrial waste will help. Incentivizing the production of biodegradable materials. Funding research into understanding the full impacts of microplastics upon our food chain. Funding research into how best to clean up our oceans, and practical clean-up efforts. (See http://www.dailypress.com/news/science/dp-nws--pruitt-bay-ab... as an example).

I hate hate hate talking about politics. But I'm starting to realize that for big issues like this, it's impossible to have a meaningful conversation without getting into government policy.
I'm disappointed to see this on the front page. I followed John Robb years ago when he had an unusual perspective about the rise of non-state actors and asymmetric disruption in global politics. He had subject matter expertise and an unmotivated point of view. He has since relegated himself to partisan punditry in support of Donald Trump. It's baffling and disheartening.

> I just don't think a president with an opposition congress can be expected to do much.

Perhaps not through legislation, but all of the 'pure bad' things I mentioned -- with the exception of the deficit and lack of entitlement reform -- can be blamed primarily on Obama. Even interest rates/QE, as he appointed a Fed chairwoman who maintained the same policies and met with Obama quite frequently.

> I think a surveillance society is 100% inevitable.

I agree, but I don't think it's a good thing or that it makes the politicians who enable it any less bad -- it's just inevitable that the kind of people who run governments will like it.
Good. now someone apply NLP2Code to the paper, so that we can download the source code of NLP2Code( or at least the app ).

vanilla zeromq is a pretty bad choice for any database. zmq explicitly makes no guarantees about reliable delivery, so losing random inserts or queries here or there would be considered acceptable.

subscribers also lose the first few messages the publisher sends, unless you make sure you start the subscriber first. The publisher will make no indication of which messages are lost and which ones have actually been sent to someone:

http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all#Getting-the-Message-Out

I would suggest building something on top of request-reply instead: it's actually possible to get build reliable delivery on that.
