I subscribed to Chris' newsletter as I hope to hear more about the challenges involved in his endeavor. Starting a small ISP has been a vision of mine since my first after-school job at a ISP helpdesk 15 years ago. I'd really love to be involved in running a community ISP in an underserved area, so I'm interested in reading about the technical and regulatory challenges especially.

@froztbyte I'd be doubly interested in a writeup of your experience, have you blogged anywhere?
I understand that the change must have been simple. The problem with this kind of one time per application task is the developers often forget about how the script worked since it is not being revisited once it got working. So while porting one is forced to understand the whole script(i.e the conventions of systemd, initV or upstart e.t.c) which is not much work, but compared to the third party tool like "pm2 <generate_script_whatever>" it is atleast 10 times the work.

No. Read the spec. There is no deadline for atomics to be visible. What is true is that some operations have happens-before ordering, and if a store happens-before a load, the load will see the result of the store.
Thank you for your answer and the beautiful photographs.
It's far from that simple. You should realize that the US Government does not answer directly to its citizens. This is not a corruption of the design, this is part of the design itself. The US is not a direct democracy, we are a representative democracy. We have very little control over the daily actions of our politicians, only the broad ideas they stand for.

I'm willing to bet that no one voted for President Obama specifically because he wanted to use drones to kill suspected terrorists without attempting to arrest them first. He came up with that idea on his own. Saying the US citizens are involved with that decision is, again, wrong and offensive.

A Back-Channel Plan for Ukraine and Russia, Courtesy of Trump Associates

A week before Michael T. Flynn resigned as national security adviser, a sealed proposal was hand-delivered to his office, outlining a way for President Trump to lift sanctions against Russia.

Mr. Flynn is gone, having been caught lying about his own discussion of sanctions with the Russian ambassador. But the proposal, a peace plan for Ukraine and Russia, remains, along with those pushing it: Michael D. Cohen, the president’s personal lawyer, who delivered the document; Felix H. Sater, a business associate who helped Mr. Trump scout deals in Russia; and a Ukrainian lawmaker trying to rise in a political opposition movement shaped in part by Mr. Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort.

At a time when Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia, and the people connected to him, are under heightened scrutiny — with investigations by American intelligence agencies, the F.B.I. and Congress — some of his associates remain willing and eager to wade into Russia-related efforts behind the scenes.

Mr. Trump has confounded Democrats and Republicans alike with his repeated praise for the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, and his desire to forge an American-Russian alliance. While there is nothing illegal about such unofficial efforts, a proposal that seems to tip toward Russian interests may set off alarms. ...

AMD Ryzen™ Processors

AMD 7th Generation A-series/Athlon™ Processors

4 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 2400/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory

That seems pretty clear to me that there's AM4 Ryzen and also there will be an AM4 A-series and an AM4 Athlon line. AMD has said repeatedly that AM4 is going to be the one socket for all their new chips from the server through to mobile. Look for the Opteron (or its replacement if the new server chips get a name change), the A series, the Athlon series, and Ryzen all to use the same socket but offer different memory and PCI configurations based on both the chipset and the CPU/APU.
You're forgetting about Congress. Laws don't go away when a new president is elected. If civil servants can point to a law then that says they have to do something then the president can't directly override it. (Though there are workarounds.)

Executive orders are limited by what's allowed by the law. There has been some boundary-pushing but some changes require an act of Congress.
Unfortunately this is the kind of garbage claims people make to try and sway others into going against "the establishment" or in this case "medical orthodoxy". It is how they get people to go along with claims with limited or zero scientific support. Just attack doctors as the enemy, claim they are lying for profit, or hiding some cure, and then peddle some fanciful claim of their own. Its great that people are researching the affects of fasting and all these bits, but none of these fringe diets/theories has come out yet as a surefire way to do health and wellness. If the claims seem unbelievable, they probably are.

Of course you are more likely to survive cancer now than in the 50's. There is not a credible person that would claim otherwise... "credible" being the proper claim. Look at any cancer survival rate and you'll see improvement. That whole statement makes me question every word he/she wrote because it is just so false. At this point his/her words need serious references for proof.

Ask HN: What Happened to DHH's Uber Post?
DHH wrote a blog post on Medium that is critical of Uber and YCombinator. The link was posted to Hacker News and received enough upvotes to get to the #2 spot.

The article sharply dropped in position (off the front page) at around the time west coast work day began.

As far as I can tell, nothing in the article violates the 'Hacker News Guidelines'.

Is there an technical explanation of why this would happen related to the algorithm? Has YCombinator offered an explanation of why something like this would happen in the past?

This article makes a major point that a lot of comments seem to be missing.

She's criticizing how people get pigeonholed -- not just early in their careers but early in childhood -- as being "math people" or "physics people" or "humanities people". And that those categories and labels limit people who in fact are capable of learning and enjoying STEM subjects.

It's like how there's an unspoken rule in some corners of the tech industry that someone who first picked up programming later than high school can never be a "real programmer". Which is bullshit and does both individuals and the industry a major disservice.

Your mental model of eating-as-a-bucket is broken, but you're not to be blamed since everyone thinks that and it's the official advice from most (all?) governments.

The calories-in-calories-out (CICO) model is true in a thermodynamics sense but it's like saying that Bill Gates got rich because he followed the money-in-money-out system. It doesn't really help us explain anything about Bill Gates. Or another, more damning, problem is this: We say a child gets taller because of hormones but they get fat because of calories. If you think about it for a while you'll figure out something is deeply wrong with the model.

This is a deep subject with a lot to say but I'd start with 'Why We Get Fat' by Gary Taubes. Then read his other books, then read Dr Fung.

But to answer you first point directly: What I'm saying is that people thinking they are eating healthy and actually eating healthy are two different things. Usually they think they are but aren't in reality, and fasting can help in a long list of ways detailed in Dr. Fungs book on fasting (and many other places too, his is just a good book). You can also find people on /r/fasting on reddit with a lot more detail.
Trump won with around 60 million votes in a country that has a population of around 340m people. Legally he may have the authority to do what he wants but he still has to work within a system of people who did not vote for him and who does not share his strong policies. I see this as a feature, not a bug. There's a saying that if you people don't earn a fair wage they'll find a way to pay themselves. I think a principal is at work here.
That's exactly what Trump wants. He wants to be a primary source of information however inaccurate or incorrect, but lets be honest of "the media" because its a very wide spectrum that includes the likes of the NYTimes, WSJ, as well as Breitbart and the Daily Caller.

It wasn't long ago that many Trump supporters were reading articles likes this "Obama drops the pretense - He aims for confiscation of private arms, not ‘control’ of guns" (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/oct/5/editorial-oba...)

Exactly. Given the risks, there should be some evidence. Perhaps it's not getting released at this stage to strengthen her legal position.

It is popular in the USA right now to silence rational, evidence based discussions. Now more than ever it is of vital importance that we stick to values of relying on open dialogue, reason, and facts. If these values only apply when they are convenient and comfortable for you then they aren't your values, but instead a rhetorical tool you abuse.

As a community of above-average intelligence and reason, I am disappointed to see hacker news commenters abuse their power to silence requests for evidence. If you approach things objectively you must always seek evidence. In this case the evidence shared thus far is character-based. That doesn't obviate the need or prevent the ability to have a rational, logical discussion about evidence.

Please, go ahead and silence this post as well. Show me how badly you deserve your current political situation and fractured nation. If this community behaves this way, I don't have much hope for the world.

If you've got an HA setup you should probably be doing this monthly anyway just to verify that it actually works. The adage that an untested backup isn't a backup at all applies to backup internet connections as well.
There seems to be a lot of different fasting protocols these days.

What works for me is to only eat between 3pm-8pm.... and here is the big one I only get to eat if I have worked out that day!!!! (usually right before. obviously the workout has to be before you eat or else you might not follow through). Incidentally but not intentionally this sort of mimics what happens in the wild for animals (not really humans because homo sapiens have been able to store foods since the beginning of the species).

I lost 30 pounds doing this. I decided to stop because I had a son recently so it was difficult to workout. So now I just do the 12pm-8pm lean gains method.
Sure, for digital surveillance I get this concern. But when we're talking about identifying that "on holiday, subject X spent some of that cash he withdrew on a burner phone at a random supermarket he visited, not just on ice cream and beer", then you really need significant HUMINT resources.
yes. But for that we must be aware of the historical context.

You're comparing apples and oranges here. If you work in government (and I'm in no way convinced most of these rogue accounts actually do), then the Trump administration can absolutely "disappear" your job if they trace the account back to you.

The dangers of using a real name account are very different for private citizens than they are for government employees. This is in no way specific to Trump.
If you lose your government job you also lose access to the insider information.

I'm suddenly reminded of the Zippo scene from Four Rooms.

I don't smoke cigarettes anymore, but I did for many years. I'd lost my old Zippo and bought myself a new one (straight from the company) about a decade ago. After daily-use, then sitting in a box for three years, and now using it a few times a year while camping, it works perfectly and looks practically new.
The key word is counter-culture. The GOP may have the majority in federal government seats, but the majority of mainstream American media, and the overall position of the Overton window in general, is left of center at the moment. The cultural aspects of politics change slowly over time, and not overnight with a vote, as the status of the formal offices do.
It would be nice to believe that all these reported events are exceptional, and to an extent they are atypical, but it is indicative of a fairly broken work culture that such things happen.

Until recently, I'd only ever read accounts of bad things like this happening at certain conferences, and not seen anything first hand. A few months back, one of the female staff on our team changed their github picture. When mentioning this in conversation, it turned out that random people (not physically at work, but github users who did not know any of us in person) were harassing/propositioning her solely due to that image. What sort of screwed up person does that?! People should be able to do their jobs without dealing with crap like that.

Ain't that the truth. Mine is around here... somewhere. I periodically find it while cleaning up, put it on my desk, and then inevitably lose it before I need it again.

Also, I find that mine accumulates a blob of ink on the tip after a period of inactivity that needs to be wiped off before use.
I really like the Breville Smart Oven series. I've owned several, but I currently have the Smart Oven Pro and use it more than our actual oven. It heats up quickly, cooks very evenly, and the UI is straightforward. My only problem with it is that the UI frequently suffers from button bounce. Often, when I press the start button to turn the oven on, the bounce causes it to turn right back off again. And it can be occasionally difficult to dial in precise times due to similar issues with the knobs. Breville needs to learn how to properly debounce their hardware buttons--many of their products suffer from this. Overall, I'm really happy with it though.
Although the title seems more appropriate for a ponderous meditation on a great mystery, the article is pretty concise and does cover the case for a specific mechanism. I think the HTML title ("A reason why cancer is less common in women") is better.

Joe Biden is good friends with Chris Dodd[1] who is (was?) the president of the MPAA[2]. Kim Dotcom had this to say previously[3]:

"Best friend of MPAA's Chris Dodd > Joe Biden. Former lawyer of Joe Biden > US Attorney Neil MacBride. Connect the Dodds"

So it seems that a former Senator turned lobbyist used his connection to the former US vice president to pull strings and convince the NZ government that Dotcom deserved a Pablo Escobar style raid on his home.

It's always funny seeing this articles where they do 'frequentist' analysis wrong then decide Bayesian is the winner.

Yes you can use prior evidence.
Yes you have to be careful of multiple comparisons.
Yes you have to account for reproducibility.

Oh and Bayesian has p-values too.

>Did I say intent in my reply? Did I even imply it anywhere?

You did not, which is why I brought it up. What you said was that people should not be responsible for breaking laws they were not aware of in countries they don't live in. Which is true and I agree with that, but Kim knew full well what he was doing. Intent is 90% of the law, and Kim knew exactly what he was doing. He fully intended to break US law to the detriment of US corporations for the benefit of US citizens.

>[that's assuming non-citizens] know and understand the laws of every other country in the world

is exactly what you said. There's no assumption needed here. You don't have to assume Kim knew the laws of other countries. He knew. Intent is a very important factor here, which is why I brought it up. It was something missing from your argument.
This is a very interesting comment for someone like me who has little knowledge of statistics. The stack exchange answer shows how stupid Bayesians can be, and the XKCD shows how stupid Frequentists can be.

Yet I find this particular criticism of Bayesians not fully convincing. The Bayesian approach is to take the existing knowledge (where the phone was often list in the past) with new knowledge (where the beeping is coming from) to come up with probabilities (where to look for the new phone). This seems to me to be the correct approach in general, it's just that in the case of the phone the new knowledge almost entirely outweighs the existing knowledge.
I thought so too.

Except it's not - for 200/20 at those prices the GP must be talking about a Virgin Media line, and they run their own cables.

This abstract at this link the journal:

"Evidence for photosensitised hydrogen production from water in the absence of precious metals, redox-mediators and co-catalysts"

http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2017/cp/c6cp07...

has more detail than the article in terms of the process.

"The water-soluble zinc porphyrin complex Zn(TPPS)4− with TPPS = tetrakis-(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin surprisingly was found to produce significant amounts of hydrogen from aqueous sulfite or amine solutions under visible-light exposure without requiring any other components such as electron relays or additional proton reduction catalysts. Although the production rates and total amounts of chemically stored fuel obtained under these conditions are still much too low to be relevant for practical applications"

Very exciting if the efficiency can be improved & the process scaled up. I wonder how low is low though -- don't have access to the article.
