aaah got it.
Lets look at the numbers
I hope you will agree with me that
Number of businesses that get started>> Number of business in hot sector>>number of businesses that get angel investments> number of businesses that raise VC

If we are being bombarded by tech news and most of the press releases are tech startups raising capital in SV or other valley like places, then the "so many entreprenuers raise VC " idea gets traction

Also the process to get private capital and the dumb money at a high ( albeit cooling off a bit)
oh. You may be onto something. I am pretty sure USB is boot option 2, but if not it would be my disc drive- but I can make that work too. It's a Lenova (maybe acer) laptop with some wierd tool it seems to open it up. I can try to figure it out though. I just want to use it as an inhome server so it dont need to look pretty.

This is wrong. You absolutely must use an ad blocker or noscript extension if you intend to browse the web securely.
If it doesn't have to be written by Dick, the canonical work would be Stanislaw Lem's The futurological Congress
I've never seen Stallman speak, but that sounds like a similar situation to this anecdote from Nottingham in the 80s:

It's a somewhat tedious story but it's all about the freedom to control your own hardware.
They established that many applications are not POSIX-compliant. They did not establish that modern applications are not POSIX-compliant.
I've found WSJ to be a very good paper, especially for geopolitics and finance.

NYT and WaPo's political slant is almost becoming unreadable for someone who's moderate and disinterested in either US party. I can't speak for WaPo but I've been reading NYT for a decade now and their total abandonment of any attempt at political neutrality was disheartening this past year.

My only problem with WSJ is it's very expensive compared to NYT. About 3-4x as expensive as a Canadian. So I've been using WaPo recently, they're slightly better than NYT but only slightly. Probably going to go full WSJ soon.
how is buying a quality hardware component for a few K throwing "money at the problem" vs paying thousands a month for a very subpar product?
This is something I hear a lot, but the evidence of collapse and disintegration, imho, doesn't really bear itself out. Rather then there being more unrest, social media and the media is amplifying unrest wherever it offers, whereas in the past , generations ago, such unrest would have gone unreported http://greyenlightenment.com/why-isnt-there-more-civil-unres...

When WW2 ended, America, Britain, an Russia were on top...Britain's position has fallen, but China and Japan are now 2 and 3 but America is still solidly #1. As shown by Pinker, the evidence since WW2 suggests more peace (the Long Peace)and less conflict, not more.

Trump's rise to power is more symbolic of national angst than in terms of substantive change in policy. I predict there will be some disappointment by former Trump voters who think that Trump is going to be this huge reformer.
The web is one of the great stories of backwards compatibility along with Microsoft's herculean efforts on DOS/Windows over the years.
"Not because I want to support journalism (though I do), but because having a whole newspaper to flip through every day is so much more productive and efficient than getting dribs and drabs through Twitter and free news sites"

I agree with this.

I would like to suggest that you extend this discovery from "daily" iterations with, as you suggest, WaPo/NYT/FT to "weekly" iterations with the London Review of Books[1]. Or the New Yorker. Both are very, very good.

Personally, I prefer reading LRB physically (with scotch) and the Kindle delivery of the New Yorker which I read with meals eaten out.

[1] LRB is about 1/3 editorial/commentary/journal and about 2/3 actual book reviews. The editorial/commentary is a very different flavor from any other media source I know of an is very interesting and refreshing. It's also quite progressive and left leaning which is interesting to me because I am not (so much).
it's unclear if you do not realize thousands of people make their living full-time as promoters on social media. They literally pay rent with money that was paid to them proportionate to their retweets. Or if this was hyperbole to underscore your disagreement with a freemium business model
For embedded code, I'd recommend that all application code should be compiled with the `--deny unsafe-code` option. Then the compiler will stop you.
A separate module for the I/O code providing is the only place where one should use `unsafe`. Extra care must be taken here, in code review and in testing.
I don't like that definition, it's basically a dystopian definition of dystopia. If you believe that you live in a good place and that others are bad, totalitarian states, you wouldn't consider yours to be dystopian, somewhat ignoring that people living in other states might think the exact same thing about your state.

Think of where these dystopias come from, what is the purpose of creating a dystopian rule. In these terms it's easy to make parallels with any modern state.
The guide doesn't say not to install an ad blocker, but I dispute that claim nonetheless. Ad blockers are fine, and probably add marginally to security, but I don't think they a necessity --- if you're using Chrome/Chromium.

If I was using Firefox or IE, I would agree with you. But step one here is not to be using un-hardened browsers.
Not so much wrong as missing a line to install a script blocker that's neither spurious, unknown nor unnecessary. In general, the warning against extension is good.
Geez...I wasn't aware I was even writing a news article at all.

And to be fair, Carnival did buy Disney cruises, though things have changed in the years since.
Consider the meanings of "must use", "spurious", "unknown" and "unnecessary".
Indeed, I can have a function like this:

get_data_from_stack(parent_pointer, num_levels);

this function just recurses, decrementing num_levels until it hits zero, and chasing the parent pointers. With that, I have random access all over the stack.

Of course, C is ultimately a finite state machine because pointers have a fixed width. "sizeof pointer" is a constant expression. The absolute number of objects which can be addressed is finite. In an abstract program which doesn't use sizeof on pointers or work with their internal representation in any way, we can relax this model to allow an unlimited space; we just understand that we can have as many stack frames as we want and that somehow, the & operator in any one of them produces unique pointers.
Procrastination involves constantly telling yourself that you'll start the important thing, right after this one short little other thing.

So the thing we're fighting is also self-deceivement, and that doesn't make it easy to beat.
They really should have been more vocal in announcing its release. I find that a lot of people still believe the only available options are ad-supported.

I had only discovered it when I wanted to resubscribe for other reasons; I probably would have done it earlier if I had known the option was available.
+1 for replication slots. Just remember to remove the slot if you decommission a server; otherwise storage on the master will grow forever.

innobackupex works fine locally on the server, streaming out to netcat or ssh on the remote side. Nothing wild like read only NFS required. It also copies all binlogs. Mydumper is pretty old at this point and doesn't do most of the things innobackupex can. I wouldn't recommend it.
Ask HN: Start with startup on 'trial basis'?
A startup wants to pay me 20% of my current Market rate, and 1-2% equity, but wants me to start on a 'trial basis' ?

Is this common outside SV?
Which points something out about historical quackery: a lot of people knew it was nonsense even when it was new.
Ask HN: Best consumer EEG hardware and software?
What's the best consumer level EEG hardware and software available that you're aware of? Looking for something that's preprocessed and provides a clean, least noisy signal. Don't have a hard budget in mind but was hoping to spend less than $1500
Um, what about the Elaboration Likelihood Model? It's about persuasion and it contends that there are two ways it happens: through a rational evaluation of the material, or based on the credibility of the source (and other social cues).

Now, sometimes you might come to believe something through repetition, but it's possible to verify things (some of the time) and you shouldn't just claim that repetition is the only route.
So - how do you rate partisan editors in geopolitical conflicts? The Irish Troubles, Russian Federation and especially Israel-Palestine come to mind. Especially the Israeli side was very successful in casting a very favourable light on its position, and it took great effort to rein them in a little. Would the pro-Israel faction be called abusive under the present metrics?
Go work for CERN, become a member of the personel and then meet these strict requirements: http://nic.cern/registration-policy/ , shouldn't be too hard ;)

It is not that they cost much more then regular js devs, it is that their skills fluctuate and it is hard to figure out who has them.

In a way, that is a problem with whole js ecosystem, but here is especially pronounced.
Back in summer 2006 between semesters, I worked at a Microsoft call center for Hotmail plus/premium (people/companies who paid premium account, and some ISP rebranded Hotmail accounts).

We had full access to billing, we also had full access to people's accounts.
We could look at emails, look at deleted items weeks after del (restore in rare circumstances).

The thing is we didnt mess around. The tools to do this are heavily logged and audited.

There was an incident of guy looking into his gf account.

Within a week the guy was repramanded and let go.
"those platforms were designed with the express purpose"

They were designed with the purpose of giving users a way to get things done that was profitable to the company. The first part along with lock-in techniques are why most of the desktop market is Windows with a large chunk of the server market. That means the kind of portability that matters to people wanting to maximize benefit to users or profits to the company better include a Windows version. There are portability alternatives to POSIX that allow that usually with other benefits on top of it. Far from moot...
Of the books I've read by Dick, I would say "Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said" is probably the most dystopic.
I didn't stop at Slate and CNN; they (along with Bloomberg View) were just my only "magazine" format daily reads. Obviously, I read important stories on NYT or WaPo.

But the point isn't that you can read the "important" stuff with a free pageviews. The point is that you can click your bookmark bar link for WaPo and just browse the whole site, which is an entirely different experience than just reading a couple stories from them over the course of the week in the process of drilling into a story that's trending on other sites.
I think this article pretty much sums up how I feel about the Washington Post:

Ask HN: If you could move anywhere for a tech job, where would you go?
I live in Toronto, Canada and work as a Software Engineer for a medium-sized startup. Overall I like it here; but I am in my mid-twenties and since I don't really have anything tying me to Toronto (I just rent an apartment and don't own much furniture or a car) I often find myself wondering/fantasizing about other places I could move to for work.

I hear Colorado and Texas are good spots for software engineers, and places in Europe sound nice as well. I worked a contract in South Korea and had a good time there but can't see myself living in Asia long term.

If you could move anywhere for a tech job, where would you go?
It would most likely result in people simply avoiding the next shopping center/strip mall/whatever because it's such a hassle to go there. Just as I rarely go to downtown areas today where parking is a hassle.
On average in what city?
Do you want to oay average?
How will you test their skills?

Well, ads are currently placed through a micropayment system. And there's no reason that customers would need to make individual decisions, any more than advertisers do.
Libertarians still support the existence of the state (even if it’s a hollow shell of what most nation-states are now). Seeing the very existence of the state as being dystopian is anarchist.

Sure, that would be great, but as a result of leaving, I have been blacklisted by HR from ever returning. And the one guy that tried to bring me back in a year ago met in the lobby of his building and then walked me out to the marsh behind the GooglePlex before saying a word to me.

I then asked if I could use said technology for which I am a recognized expert, he said no, and that was the end of that.

I have been tempted to print myself a "Bad Cultural Fit - Google HR" T-shirt in response, but I have better things to do.
While iOS devices are generally more secure, its been proven that Apple has been a part of the various NSA programs (X-Keyscore, PRISM, etc).

Chromebooks are made by Google, who is also a known partner ni these programs.

It all comes down to who you trust, and recommending that Journalists use iOS Devices and Chromebooks made by Apple and Google who are known snoopers is a bad bet if the thing you're trying to avoid is the US Government.

Also, bluetooth keyboards are trivial to listen in on. Not a great recommendation.

This article is short but bogus.
In Canada, specifically BC if you fail to pay monthly medical premiums you have no health insurance either they sell your account to collections and you have to pay cash for any doctor visit. Since private health is not available you're screwed and have to either leave the province to get health insurance again or continue paying cash.

There's always loopholes in socialized medicine usually only affecting the poor.
That's literally the dictionary definition of the term. If you don't like it, you should make up a new word, or explain convincingly why we should change it, and what to, which you aren't really doing.

> If you believe that you live in a good place and that others are bad, totalitarian states, you wouldn't consider yours to be dystopian, somewhat ignoring that people living in other states might think the exact same thing about your state.

My believing something is something doesn't make it so. Other people not believing something doesn't make so. That any society might look like a dystopia to someone doesn't make said society a dystopia, because "making parallels" isn't the same as proving something to be true. There are many parallels between humans and chimpanzees, but they're not the same species.

And you haven't answered my major question: If all modern states are dystopias under your definition, what exactly does a non-dystopian society look like, and how do we know? How is the term useful if you just define it as covering everything?
>Do you need high available, flexible and dynamic key/value store for coordination, notification, feature flagging and more?

Doesn't exactly evoke confidence. Are they being explicit that the free tier won't have availability. Is there an SLA or even an estimate?
But you don't choose between HTML tables and CSS tables - they are independent concerns, HTML is semantics, CSS is presentation. HTML table elements just have display:table as the default style (in the default browser style sheet). You can override this in a style sheet as with any other style. And conversely, you can apply display:table to any element regardless of HTML semantics.

It is true older browsers had partially hardcoded presentation so you couldn't always override the default CSS of certain elements (table elments and form controls were especially notorious for hardcoded presentation). But I believe this is not an issue in modern browsers.
What about the businesses themselves in these malls/centers...would they survive the transition? In can't be just the design of the mall that is considered, but the entire area around the mall....everything should work together.
There are keyboards that force AES-128 and don't fall back IIRC microsoft makes some.

A USB keyboard is almost certainly easier to secure though.
Google is awesome if you can avoid the allocation problem, I agree. I was not given such options.
90 percent up to out of pocket max. My out of pocket max has always been between 1k and 5k per year. So if I need 1 million dollar cancer treatment, I don't pay 100k. I pay 5k.

So no I cannot go bankrupt with health insurance in the US.
To give you an example, at JSapp.me we can develop a react native MVP app (includes real time social, geoloc, messaging, push notif) for $5000 within 3 weeks.
> That being said, those are politicians (not military leaders). Both of them have something to lose and a worldview that is antithetical to recent changes (Biden vs the Trump election, Araud vs Brexit). As of a year ago neither of those people would have predicted current events. Why should we believe they now know something we don't?

Military leaders are great tacticians, but that doesn't mean they know anything about the power structures of the world. Politicians on the other hand have to develop a keen sense for where things are headed [politically]. And don't forget, war is the ultimate expression of politics.

> There will always be wars and rumors of war.

Right, and we won't be able to predict when the next one will be or how it will start. What we can say though is that things are getting unstable. The current system is bleeding. Now that it has shown weakness it will be challenged by groups hoping to fill a [potential] power vacuum.
Yeah, I use SOCKS5 over SSH all the time, although I didn't follow that particular guide. I am also not an expert but after making sure DNS requests were tunneled, I wasn't able to see any cleartext at all using Wireshark.

It is not a Tor replacement or anything. I think it should be effective at simple things like: masking personal browsing at work[0], masking browsing habits from your ISP.

[0] Obviously if you use a company computer, you could be keylogged/monitored in other ways. Use your judgement.
Imagine there is a technology that could copy tangible goods such as cars. Now somebody makes a copy of your car. Your car was not stolen but you may not be happy with the fact that somebody now also has a copy of your personal belongings like a smartphone that was inside the car.

This is where copyright law comes into play which only allows copying the car only under your rules. If somebody doesn't follow the rules that doesn't mean they stole your car but it still means they should receive some form of punishment to prevent future copyright infringement.
So... Windows 8 UI was a good idea?
"The Wall St. Journal is the single highest quality news source I'm aware of."

I prefer the NYT and think the reporting is better and broader - especially with regard to the fluffier sections like Sunday Styles, the Magazine, the Book Review and so on ... if I had to pick a single news source I think the A section of NYT would be my choice.

However, I have to say that I enjoy reading the Financial Times more because of their practice of condensing a story into a single page without a fold and without a jump to another page. They explore the story in more depth deeper in the paper, but you can read the front page headline column from start to finish without unfolding and page turning.

Also, the NYT has this habit of vastly over-backgrounding quotes ... a ten word quote will have 2-3 inches of comma-delimited background and qualifications and it just breaks the story and is hard to read.
If you're using malloc on boot only, you can almost always replace that with a static data declaration, which usually gets put in the same space the heap would otherwise use. It's better because the compiler can drop malloc, saving you some flash space, and static analysis tools can see how much RAM you're using (and if something is clearly going to blow up).
The opportunity for off-by-one errors is at the other end of the pipe, when you grab data from that same buffer and munch it in the application. Depending on how unlucky you are, that ends up involving crap like CRs and LFs and totally sane protocols that include the header length in the byte count for some packets, but not for other packets.

It's probably not the best of examples, but the mistakes pop up the same way as for dynamically-allocated buffers -- you pick the wrong offset or count up to the wrong limit, and it doesn't make much of a difference if the buffer was statically allocated or not.
>In terms of standards and tabular data, doing it with a table is probably more correct

I haven't tested it, but I assume you could fake the semantic part of a "CSS table" with something like `role=grid`
I'll quote from your last reference:

As I have tried to show, those issues, whilst important and interesting in themselves, have little to do with recursion as this concept has been understood within mathematical logic, the connotation Chomsky has always employed, it seems. As such, there is a bit of a disconnect between what Chomsky is talking about when talking about recursion and what other linguists are talking about when talking about recursion. As a result, rather incompatible claims are being put forward in the literature; indeed, to defend that what is universal in linguistics is the recursively-defined operations of a computational system (clearly Chomsky's take) is very different from the claim that all languages must exhibit self-embedded sentences if recursion is to be accepted as such a central concept (Everett is probably the most prominent example of this line of thought).

Like I say- that paper basically claims that Chomsky's version of recursion in language has changed very little if at all, and that Everett is grossly misrepresenting it (or its consistency).

I would add: willfully so.
