Hi there,

We may've ran into each other online (I'm 29). I've played CS:S and CS:GO competitively and minor professionally, mostly under the team MM3 (Message Mode 3). I can't stress the importance of video games (especially on my industry skills). Typing skills, debugging, communication, economics, strategy, critical thinking, most of this on-the-fly decision making. It's been an immense help.

I now play RocketLeague Competitively at the higher ranks and always wonder if I'm wasting time trying to reach that final high tier. (already made GE in CS:GO/15 LANS). But I'm seeing it start to affect my personal life. I can't stop, and I don't want to stop.

Just some anecdotal experience, figure it may be interesting.

At the end of the day, Travis is a war-time CEO who is always going to be fighting things that keep his company from being as successful as it can be. This may sound good, but people like this are why we have laws. They need regulation. Look back 150 years if you doubt that.
Generally, "flatten" means the first of those two orders, but I see that the problem as given doesn't disambiguate those. If an interviewer wants to only accept one of those, he should clarify.

Incidentally, the first of those is preorder and postorder traversal of the list-of-lists (inorder only exists for binary trees), while the second is none of those. I would describe that difference as depth-first (first) vs breadth-first (second).

I had a whole discussion in another thread about this:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13716581

I learned a lot from it. One thing is that this property is true of any Merkle-Damgård-type hash if the hash internal state is the same size as the hash digest. This is true of SHA-1 and of several other famous and widely-used hashes, but not true of every hash, including some of the most recent designs like several SHA-3 candidates and SHA-3 itself. In a hash without this property, you can have a collision condition H(X)=H(Y) (and len(X)=len(Y)) yet typically H(X+a)≠H(Y+a).

Edit: len(X)=len(Y) is also necessary because Merkle-Damgård hashes encode the message length into internal padding, so if you happened to have two colliding inputs that were different lengths, they will generally not produce a collision when the same string is added to each.

"who goes to ebay before just buying the item from Amazon"

My mom and dad. This is not tongue in cheek, it is my personal experience. I see many older people that still buy from eBay. They are a bit uncomfortable with the web already, but they got into buying some things on eBay, now they are used to it and they don't want to "learn something new".

I think eBay is a declining platform, but that cow still has a lot of milk left in it.
Cloudflare and FastMail: Your info is safe
Am 43. Grew up playing games. Not planning on stopping any time soon. Went through the 'I should be doing something better with my time' phase briefly, about ten years ago. Realized it was anxiety driven, not rational. Having fun is an intrinsic part of being human, and cannot be skipped without genuine mental health consequences.
Somewhat relatedly, when my daughter was younger she picked off one of the solidified tendrils that flows down the side of a candle and called it a wack. Obviously candles are made of wacks.
"Massive" is overselling it, unless there's a large body of evidence that I missed (which, given my preoccupation with Trump, would not be impossible).
Fair enough. "All" was a poor choice of words. I would be the last (more hyperbole) person to tell anyone how to live their life.

Also, I failed to mention why I replied to the parent post: the mention of moderation. I think if you are listening to how you're feeling, you can (one can) tell when a life strategy isn't working. The important things in life will make their demands known.

1. I'm not honestly sure what 1pass looks like. If it saves local versus cloud and is somewhat open source then I don't have a problem with using these apps (LastPass breach was pretty bad when it happened). For me personally I just don't need them. Every single phone I've owned in the past has required the bare minimum in software for my battery to last as long as possible even with custom Roms. Every app counted. Only recently have I been able to enjoy my phone all day with tons of apps. (LG V20)

2. Of course a company like Apple has some of the most secure practices. What it doesn't give them though is the power to completely ignore zero days and attack white, gray or black hats for disclosure. Plenty of other companies are guilty but not one as big as Apple. I'm all for prosecution when hacks are used to cause damage and or steal company secrets. Beyond that point the closed ecosystems + closed hardware that's built to be hard to repair is a security nightmare waiting to happen. (Oh yea it did. They called it the fappening). They also do everything possible to shut down jailbreaking (Didn't they hire one of them eventually?). And even going further beyond that, they share your info with the government. Under gag order or not it doesn't matter. Yes I know all companies have to in order to operate stateside but the fact is it's not hacker friendly. I also am aware of the fact that the majority of the industry has been working on making this situation better. (Project zero, Netflix just came out with something as well).

3. Yup. I guess I meant in a more practical sense like personally identifiable info. Being completely honest not everybody cares for security, even most of the time they aren't even aware of what it is or how much is actually out there. This point I made will never happen unless somebody is completely devoted to being private and wants to be.

4. I'm actually still working on that. I don't have a 100% sure method yet. I've emailed plenty of them and I got mostly no response but a few did delete some stuff.

Something I haven't tried is to simply get Google to remove the listings from their search. Doesn't sound hard but knowing Google will be next to impossible.

I have thought about using legal action against the data brokers but I haven't looked into it yet. I'm assuming there are cases out there somewhere that were successful that I can find.

Based on what data?
As other people explained, and just to summarize, this service is a way of reusing Google's specific collision (as a prefix to new collisions), and isn't a way of making arbitrary colliding files or file formats. You can't, for example, use this to make something other than PDFs that collide; for that, you'll have to redo a computation on the scale of Google's!
Ask HN: Working at a startup vs. working at an established company?
I just wanted to re-ignite this discussion now that we're coming off of a high in the startup ecosystem. It'll be interesting to see how people's opinions have changed over the past couple of years.

Personally, I've seen the fervor cool down considerably and I see a lot of peers gravitating towards the more established companies. Even in the public tech markets a lot of the money is seemingly going to the FB/Goog/AMZNs of the world.

I'm not arguing that there aren't cases where postponing restarting until there is lower load doesn't miss out on some people, I'm arguing that this shows a less respect for the user and is a poor experience. It does not feel like my machine, contrary to great-great grandparent. No other system I own forces restarts, and they all seem much more secure.

Its definitely the time zone not persisting. I've navigated through seas of menus to change it to no avail.

To me, "nested list structure" means list-of-lists, which implies a certain natural tree representation, where all elements in a list are siblings.

But maybe I've just been poisoned by Lisp, which tries to use lists as the elusive generic simple data structure.

This - and also before GDS, each of the different government departments had their own stack, their own design standards, and their own verification systems. This would even apply to the hundreds of different local authorities. GDS has done an amazing job cleaning up the mess, and open sourcing a lot of it, within a government culture that is very resistant to change.
VDSL2 is great for the areas where most of the customers are already close enough to benefit. But outside of urban areas, you're still proposing almost the same degree of disruption to the neighborhood as a full fiber deployment. Instead of digging up the road and my yard and putting new cables into my house, you're now merely digging up the road and putting new boxes in every fifth yard. And all to offer downstream service that is almost as fast as what the DOCSIS provider currently delivers, and upstream capacity that most customers won't see much benefit from.

The dedicated last hop bandwidth of DSL sounds nice, but in practice the shared nature of DOCSIS usually isn't a problem and when it is the solution is no more expensive or invasive than what DSL requires up front for every neighborhood.
I'll often see a similar pattern: I'll post something which disagrees with the common wisdom here on HN, it'll get a flurry of downvotes, then over time it'll get more upvotes. I figure that it's probably just the result of a few folks who are HN addicts, and that over time more reasonable heads prevail.

Sometimes I think Google launches products and expects them to succeed by sheer luck. No marketing at all. Maybe they've been primed by the search engine, which sold itself by being vastly superior to anything available at the time.

Wow, thank you for this response. An author responding to a comment on their article seems rare in my eyes. Do you think this kind of commentary should happen on the TC website instead of a third party site? Do you think Facebook comments are conducive to constructive commentary on your articles?
Same, 1807. I got hung up on the first one since I didn't know we could click links.
December 2012: Several journalists reported that MSNBC hosts were meeting privately with President Obama to discuss the impending “fiscal cliff” fight.
May 2013: NPR’s Ari Shapiro reported that President Obama was meeting privately with “lefty columnists,” but hastened to add that there was “nothing nefarious” about it.
November 2013: President Obama met again with liberal journalists, as Obamacare struggled with the failure of healthcare.gov and other problems.
March 2015: Politico’s media reporter, Hadas Gold, reported that “a group of journalists and columnists,” all on the left, met privately with President Obama, but the White House refused to say “who else was at the meeting or what was discussed.”

As I mentioned in my original comment, I'm sure there are circumstances different from my own that are much more challenging.

I can only speak to the experience coming from the UK (and I confess to assuming that the experience from Canada is comparable), and that's where I find surprise: people from the UK who presumably went through the same experience as me often claim that it's impossible to navigate without a lawyer. That's just not true.

Your original claim was:

> immigrants dominate the statistics of violence against women

Let's see what "dominate" means [1]:

to be predominant in

And further, predominant [2]:

being most frequent or common

There is simply nothing to discuss here. Your original claim was wrong, even using your own statistics. (Of course, you may have tried to say or you meant that immigrants are over represented, which would be correct. But you did not say that. Thus you are the one to be corrected.)

> Generating some workable source images is trivial

Everything is trivial if you know how to do it off the top of your head. Generating white noise samples is trivial. UV-mapping a texture to a mesh is trivial. Soldering resisters to a PCB is trivial. Generating an ARM toolchain with Yocto Project is trivial.

Is it a crime that I didn't feel like researching a bunch of CLI tools I've never heard of to try to use an app I was only mildly curious about?
Well, at least they released an HD version on Steam.
In fish, you do (foo) instead of $(foo), and to do rev search you just type something and press up. To save a function, do funcsave name.

It did take me a little while to get used to fish (psub was another thing that took some googling to find) but I don't think I would go back to zsh now.
>But it should be possible to take that [being a man] into account statistically.

So why not take being an immigrant "into account statistically"?

It seems like the anti-PC folk have some things they think we should be PC about and take into account (like being a man) while being an immigrant is fair game. It doesn't make any sense to blame crime on one demographic factor, and ignore the others.

Its a matter of anti-PC folk selectively ignoring evidence that doesn't fit their worldview.

I'm surprised to learn that people with real security concerns are using Cloudflare. I put it in front of my blog, but I would never use it in front of something that has sensitive data. I just don't get how companies like Zendesk could be so stupid. I barely blame Cloudflare. If you think terminating SSL with a CDN is a good idea you get what you deserve.
Pretty much. Everybody else pays for their bandwidth. Only Comcast has the market power to demand payment for access to their customers.
Drivers are able to do this because they can't be rated if the trip is canceled.

Passengers should never cancel accepted trips. That's what I explain to my passengers when they complain about other drivers doing this.

I never cancel my trips if the passenger is ready to go (some are too drunk or otherwise unable). Drivers who cherry pick can still be reported, but that's a manual process.

The leading cause for driver deactivation is excessive cancel rate. For that reason, the passenger should insist that driver cancel the trip.

I run into this when I call the passenger to confirm that they indeed wanted to order Plus service and that they are willing to wait 15-20 minutes for me to get there. They often think I am calling to cancel, but I never ask the destination since that's at least unethical and possibly illegal.
No? We make sure that pairs of vCPUs (hypertwins) stay together. If you'd like, you can offline your threads in the guest for a fairly similar outcome. Some of us regret that we sell an n1-standard-1 and the shared core machine types, but it's pretty nice to have a $5/month VM price point for those that want it. Most folks doing serious numerical computing end up using much larger VMs, and always crossing NUMA nodes (which is a much larger impact).

SHA1 has been deprecated for a while. It certainly wasn't considered "secure" on the day the attack was announced. For example CAs have been moving away from SHA1 signatures for a few years.
Just putting it out there for the next person who sees this :-)

F# 4.0 is not really out of date. The language is fairly fixed now--apart from fixing buggy behaviour actually.

Part of it is that the general ML syntax is pretty timeless--all ML books share this advantage. As for F# specifically, all the headline functionality--type providers, quotations etc.--has been there for a while. I expect books covering 4.0 to be remarkably future-proof.

If you got two different messages to get into the same internal state with SHA-3, the same thing would apply, wouldn't it? Would that be a length extension attack on SHA-3?

This is really a terminology question. I had a clear understanding of "length extension attacks" but it seems on this comment page people are using something else now. I've been looking over crypto.stackexchance and twitter to see if I missed the memo but this looks like a new usage.
The liver dumps some glucose in the morning (partly to wake you up). You're also somewhat insulin resistant in the morning. I take 3-4 units just to stay level until lunch, when insulin starts working again.
As the day progresses, I feel like the body becomes saturated with insulin, and everything is more predictable.
I try not to eat after 8-9pm. Pretty similar to the eight hour diet: you eat between noon and 8pm.

I wouldn't call all of Wirecutter high quality reviews. Some are high quality, most are medium, and some are low.

If you read a lot of their reviews you'll find many times they act as a meta review, basing the majority of their opinions on other reviews they read online. That's not high quality.

Almost all of their reviews give too much weight to price. When you say something mid range is the best without a price qualifier it's bordering on dishonest. Many of the things they call best are not the best, they're what they consider the best in the low to medium price range.
It's not even that I don't have time, I just have so many other things I want to do, explore and learn that it just doesn't seem attractive any more.
Vertebrae are among the cheapest parts of a dinosaur. Spinosaurus isn't an especially rare dinosaur. Morocco, where they sourced this, sells dinosaur bone by the crate-load (literally). It's also a hotbed of fakes and mediocre pieces fixed up to look nicer than they are, so DO NOT buy anything from Morocco unless you know exactly WTF you are doing. This piece was destined to be sold to a dupe at a huge mark-up for use as a paperweight anyway. No great loss.

Mosasaur is an impressive but common fossil in Kansas. You can offer a museum there a complete skull for free and unless it's remarkable for some reason they'll turn you down (or take it and sell it if they're shady, I guess). Complete skeletons aren't uncommon in private collections. Probably one of the easier impressive-looking ancient predators to acquire to hang over the entryway in your secret lair if you're a budget-consious supervillain. A hunk of jaw not connected to a larger find is a trash-tier item among Kansan collectors.

I'm guessing the story's similar for most of the other things on there (I don't know much about the rest).

[EDIT] I hadn't noticed how many of these things are fossils on my first look, so I guess I do know about more of them.

Broken Megalodon teeth are also so common that you couldn't give them away to a collector or museum—they have little to no value except for impressing kids or use in an art project (so, like this). That's not to say it doesn't cost money to get one, but they're not remotely rare. A large, whole (including ROOT and TIP!) one with intact, finely-detailed serration? That's another matter, but that's not what this is.

Broken dire wolf jaw, not that rare or scientifically valuable. Dunno about the Ankylosaur pieces but judging from the rest, probably not rare.

Don't know much about giant sloth fossils, but claws in general tend to be among the rarest single pieces of any given megafauna. Wouldn't be surprised if that cost them more than any of the other animal fossils to acquire. Still, unlikely it's anything a museum would care to have.

Jurassic tree: common enough you can buy really big, polished slices of it for under $100 if you know where to go. Unimproved, large hunks for less. My great-grandma had a an ~20lb piece eroding away in her rock garden, and she didn't even live near where you can pick it up off the ground and wasn't really into fossil collecting.

Crinoid: another Moroccan piece so this was going on the suckers' shelf at a touristy rock & fossil shop anyway. Not sure about this particular variety, but there are thousands of segments of these in the rocks outside my kids' school, and probably tens of thousands more in the creek next to it, all eroding away.

Mind, I don't mean to knock this product, just noting that destroying these fossils wasn't any kind of blow to science or global heritage or anything.
