Somehow this historical wikipedia quote about profits relationship to beauty and trendiness smells appropriate:

"The Roman historian Suetonius reports that when Vespasian's son Titus complained about the disgusting nature of the tax, his father held up a gold coin and asked whether he felt offended by its smell (sciscitans num odore offenderetur). When Titus said "No", Vespasian replied, "Yet it comes from urine" (Atqui ex lotio est)."

I'd like to add treesheets (http://strlen.com/treesheets/) to the list: it's an offline tree based editor so it naturally has an infinite number of levels of details you want it to have. The format is a (custom) single file so it's easy to backup and share. While all data is in a tree, it is possible to display it as a grid. I'm not using it currently because I don't really need it, but it's the first one on my to-try list.

The process of connecting to public wifi is risk. Most public wifi networks have a landing page that you have to click through before proceeding/granting you access. That page could have a malicious script.

Last year after a trip in Germany, my older iPhone had a random password saved in Safari settings. On top of that, every time I tried to delete the password, it would reappear when I went back (iCloud sync was off, etc.). I don't remember browsing anything out of the ordinary, but did connect to a bunch of public wifi spots. Here's to hoping it was just a really persistent ad-tracking method.
No, I don't have an opinion on your weirdly anti-Islam point, but your way of arguing it is disingenuous and unconvincing and it sounds like you have to resort to cherry-picking and touting up obscure sources to support it, so it's probably false.

I just chimed in to criticize the way you argued, in hopes that it would go away. When you said "look here's a guy with a Phd", pretending like his expertise was relevant, and then someone said that his PhD wasn't in a relevant field, you played dumb and wrote "Yes, that's correct. Not sure what your point is.", as though you couldn't perceive that citing someone as an expert when they're not makes you sound obviously uncredible.

"I would like to say "Grow up, dude", but that would be impolite." I'm not sure what would lead you to think it's somehow more polite to talk about saying something like that than actually saying, but, it's definitely not. You don't sound mature for pretending to exercise restraint.

Some other things I'd like to know, partly from being unfamiliar with the data that would otherwise be here. How far back did the existing data go? Was there anything similar between the Bush and Obama administrations? It sounds like you might be familiar with the data that's usually there. Providing this additional context would be really helpful.

I find this fascinating. There are a few ideas that are at play. One is the march of progress seeking to automate everything. The rationale of automation is to improve productivity. But what happens when everything is automatic? I don't see a corollary being played out at the moment. There are a small number of people reaping the benefits, and huge swathes of the population being marginalised and disenfranchised as a result.

The second idea that interests me is this idea of very high technology. It is built upon layer after layer of very clever tech year after year that I wonder how long it would take to start again from scratch if some disaster rendered a large part of one of these layers unusable.

For instance, if you were on a desert island, could you (would you want to?) build some piece of tech? An electric generator would be useful, perhaps. How long would it take to build? You'd need knowledge, raw materials, plant, fuel etc. It's not an easy solve. And that's way down the tech stack before you start talking about AIs. I suppose what I'm saying is, that the AI layer is based upon such high tech, that is inherently fragile, because it is so hard to do.
While hunger pangs may be unpleasant from time to time, I personally have found myself to be at my happiest and most at peace with life when I am consistently losing weight.

I have also cut alcohol consumption completely out of my life, unless I am celebrating something. This makes me far, far less likely to not care about my weight and my health, and I have no feelings of regret when I am hungry.

But pleasure is easy and ice cream tastes good. Balance is everything.

Android still lacks behind in regards of disk encryption. See this in-depth article that was posted on HN a while ago:

Also the parent post was talking about usage, not availability of encryption. So while recent Android versions most certainly offer encryption, it might not be enabled. iOS encrypted by default, as it should be.
Good point. I wonder how effective it would be to drop calorie intake past the age of say 60 years. That way one gets to enjoy a regular calorie intake for most of their life and then sacrifice it in favor of longevity. Hopefully more research on this topic surfaces in the coming years!
Mega Museum – A Merchants first app
Words from a Merchant:

Okay, so we are new here, and at first glance we want to show you something, but we want you to find it. Sound strange right ? ..thats because it is.

The guise of our intention is not only within our namesake but to capture and captivate for all hackers alike. Its your nature to uncover and reveal. We are just showing you its, surface.

A little while ago we released our first product 'Mega Museum' onto the google play store and also onto iOS. Its FREE with in-apps, big whoop most apps are, we are no different.

What makes us different however is our riddles and content not advertised or mentioned, on its surface you will find a game. Within you will continue to find more. Only a few will ever find it all.

Some will be distracted by its cuteness, its real world accolades, its information leaked onto the internet.

But will you find what we hope you to find ?

Good luck explorer..

Erm okay sorry about that, that had nothing to do with our game or any future content or games in general.. eh Hi ! we are The Merchant Team, and we would just like to just post about our cute pixel indie game called 'MEGA MUSEUM' its current state offers quite a fun free experience and we currently have over 60,000 installs and over 1,100 reviews, we have our own Reddit and have a strong following over on r/incremental_games, if you enjoy incremental relaxing games, give it a try, and ignore that message above !!

We are two indie developers with beards, constantly working and updating and improving on this cute little pixel game !

Unity2D and newgrounds.com have both featured this "adorable" game !

we welcome feedback and hope you enjoy what we offer !
I don't think of it this way. Instead consider that the modern abundance of every type of food is very different from the environment in which our bodies evolved. Our natural/hard-wired cravings are actually harmful in the modern environment. It's less about being hungry and more about being satisfied with considerably less. Anecdotally I can tell you I absolutely feel better when I eat less than when I eat to satisfy whatever craving I might have.
The article states:

"Tickets are incorrectly priced, which incentivizes scalping
If there's a reliably profitable secondary market for tickets, that means tickets are being priced too inexpensively by the artist."

This is a refrain that is put forth time and time again but people who's business is reselling tickets in the secondary market. The blame is somehow shifted to the artists.

Touring and tour routing are incredibly difficult logistical operations. A touring act has so many variables that they have to consider when they put tickets on sale - availability of venues for dates that coincide with their tour routing, release date of an album their supporting, time of year in which their touring, gauging the current demand, possible competing shows the same night with similar a fan base. The local promoters need lead time to promote the show.

If it was a single show in single place then yes they could exploit dynamic pricing and maximize the price of each individual ticket, much like an airline does. This is not the reality though and as such there may end up being some inefficiencies created inadvertently. This however is not same thing as what is stated here - "the artists are the ones that created this by mis-pricing their tickets." Pricing tickets is a compromise between all of those things I mentioned above. I don't think that necessarily means its someone else's for the taking however.

How to Keep Your Hiring Pipeline Full of SDRs with These Top Sales Traits
A useful perspective for me has been that C, A, and P are spectra rather than all-or-nothing. A system may bend a bit on availability when some of its replicas are partitioned, because there are fewer servers that can respond at all, smaller aggregate queue depth etc... It has been said that consistency was specified rather poorly in Brewer's original paper, and we've since seen work that dives into the consistency spectrum. Peter Balis's "HAT not CAP" paper is an often-cited example of such work. Aphyr again comes through with a summary of some of these ideas in https://aphyr.com/posts/313-strong-consistency-models .

We know that we can't have 100% harvest and 100% yield in the presence of partitions. We can play with different things though to shape the curve of these things as conditions worsen, however
>Interesting but is it worth living being hungry all the time?

For most people hunger is a mind set, and eating is a habit.
Subscribing to mega newspapers to save journalism and democracy is like buying Coca-Cola daily to save farmers.
>Interesting but is it worth living being hungry all the time?

A lot of people that do it say they don't really have a problem. They eat a large volume of food with a high nutrient-calorie ratio. Or some people only eat within certain time ranges which they say makes it easy to lower calories without getting extra hungry.

Also people they say they feel physically and mentally great when they eat a super healthy and calorie restricted so a little hunger is a mild tradeoff.
Short answer: no.

Long answer: no, because:

For $reasons I accidentally ended up on a calorie controlled diet, something around 1600-1800 a day. This persisted for too long.

Basically I felt like I was on the edge of a cold all the time. Anything activity like cycling was utterly draining. The world was very dull and grey indeed.

Now, I suspect that what they are talking about here is diet and calorie control (I wasn't eating rice). I doubt it was as extreme as what 1800 kcals a day is for a 6ft3 male.

Now, there were other factors that may or may not have contributed to the feeling of utter "urgh" however, I don't see how its fun to like on a calorie controlled diet, unless you grew up with it.
This is so fast. Amazing.

Now it's lazy and selfish to not take every ounce of surplus you can out of a market?

Some folks just want to lay back and enjoy life. If I were Craig I'd sit on that goldmine for the rest of my life - most likely it will finance a very decent lifestyle until the day he dies.

Why bother with the stress of expanding and doing what everyone else is doing? I'm completely convinced that strategy makes for miserable people. The happiest folks I've met in my life are those who own the "lifestyle businesses" everyone on HN enjoys deriding so much.

Isn't Craig living the hacker's dream? A reasonably useful service that provides value to customer, that once built you don't have to put much effort into maintaining or improving - because it works. Then you spend the rest of your free time on the beach.

You also get the nice side benefit that most guys like this tend to provide relatively low-stress long-term jobs employees can build a balanced life around.
This just an assertion, or do you have backing data? I'm genuinely curious, as eating is hella fun for me, typically.
>But pleasure is easy and ice cream tastes good. Balance is everything.

That's why calorie restriction is a thing of beauty; eat what you want within the bounds of a caloric limit.

Personally, I eat very light all week (sub 1500 calories), then splurge on the weekend.
If you want to be really secure, just never use the internet.
Update: I realize the featured example is not the most optimal Quicksort implementation. I doesn't even handle duplicates. Indeed this variant was chosen primarely because of its aesthetics.

While I'd like to keep the mission of this project to "illustrating the basic mechanics of algorithms as elegantly as possible", I realize this can be a) annoying for people who understand the specifics in depth, and b) not enough (or confusing) for people just picking this up. Which is why I'm thinking of creating an info page for each algorithm to:

- Outline the limitations of the featured version
- List a number of possible improvements (e.g. pivot strategies)
- Link to external resources for complete examples & docs

USPS is quite remarkable given their costs. Based on the volume of mail handled there are many horror stories, but their actual error rates are very good.

if every major source is untrustworthy, if it's all a chain of lies all the
way down, how does anyone know anything?

That's exactly the sort of thinking that modern autocracies (like Russia, China, Egypt, etc.) use to keep their populations pliant. They know that people see government propaganda for what it is. However, they also know that merely knowing that what the government is telling you is propaganda isn't enough to serve as a basis for popular resistance to the government. Therefore, the authorities do their best to muddy the waters, ensuring that every news source, no matter how rigorous and well-researched is tarred with the "bias" or "fake news" brush. What happens then is that people, by and large, just give up and remain content to hunker down and get on with their steadily worsening day-to-day lives, without paying attention to the large scale abuses that they're subjected to.

It worries me immensely that we're seeing this pattern in the United States.
That was actually the early advice for how to use Redux, but experience has shown that leads to less than optimal performance. In fact, benchmarks show that _more_ connected components usually leads to better perf, as the cost of notifying more subscribers is less than the cost of more wasted re-renders.

You are likely to get used to it. Try to get up to 3-day fasting on electrolyte water only, one day more at a time. Usually the first day is the worst, then you can fast and even do intense sport normally for a few days (this should also kick start your immunity if you weren't too weak already). Or try to take a restricted ketonic diet for 2-3 months, with one day per week permitting eating whatever you like - you can drop 20-40lbs of fat easily, reducing the amount of "garbage" your body stores in the belly fat (which is created by your body when it can't get rid of some dangerous metabolic products immediately).
Signed up to pose two questions :-

1/ I legitimately do not know a lot of my usernames and passwords. I sign up with a unique email that includes the name of the site (I'm not particularly religious about the format of this and usually end up checking previous email to figure it out). Passwords are saved in Chrome and I mostly don't remember them. I'm sure I am not unique. Where would one stand with this scenario?

2/ Wherever I can, I use a U2F device as a second factor. Could one be compelled to provide this along with the passwords (providing I can remember them)? Where would one stand if the key was unavailable - i.e. lost/left at home? Assuming they have a PC nearby for checking your social media accounts, I'd very much doubt it had it's USB ports enabled so, even if I did provide it, I would suggest they probably couldn't use it. Is there any documented precedent for how this is handled?

To balanced it a bit, a lot of developers isolate themselves willingly against anything that is not obvious to involve coding immediately and throwing up their hands in despair - even if the work does involve coding a bit later on.
