It was the rain and the humidity. Auckland seems to get more rain than much of the north island in the winter. Coupled with very few living situations having central heating and poor insulation; it can really wear on you. Hamilton was becoming very appealing from a weather and cost of living standpoint(it's also just nice down there too).

Constant weather is a bummer, but the cold and snow doesn't really bother me. As long as I can control the environment of my home without going broke from space heaters and dehumidifiers.

I have a very nuanced opinion of the life style :)I do miss the road trips and coffee. You're right about the opportunities; I may end up back in NZ some day when that's less of a concern.
> US govt (a proxy for US community) cares for US citizens and US citizens

On paper. But it seems like over decades it's become "US govt supporting businesses" which is ok as long as business leaders are somewhat altruistic, which is clearly not the case.
> 3) after a review of tens of thousands of pages of leaked data from search engine caches, we have found a large number of instances of leaked internal Cloudflare headers and customer cookies, but we have not found any instances of passwords, credit card numbers, or health records; and

Downplaying how bad it was that customer cookie's were leaked is what I found particularly egregious in the original response. A session cookie is almost as bad as a password leak. Usually it'll let you everything except change your password (as most sites require your current one as an extra validation).
Are you suggesting to get a Gmail account, turn on the setting that makes Twitter email you notifications, mark tweets as spam in Gmail, and then use Google's spam detection as an existence proof of a solution if it's successful?
1.3m pages served with "Extra" data is miniscule considering the number of actual pages served. Ideally you'd have no pages served but when you've got a bugproof technology the world will be your oyster.
EDIT: 'looked' -> 'locked'
That does not seem like a great way to test for accuracy. ed: as described.

I can predict Hawaii's temperatures out 20 years based on historical data much better than Chicago's. So some adjustment for area variability should be accounted for. People also care a lot more based on how off the temperatures are. So, being off by 5 degrees every day is better than being off by 1 degree for 4 days then 20 for the 5th.

I assume there is some adjustments for this stuff?
The video helps, since the watch face shown on the web page has only 2.5 braille characters to each side of the divider line. I was wondering how that could possibly work, but in the video, there are 18 dots, or three full characters, to each side of the line.
It's one of the big differences between the lisp and ml types of functional languages I would say. Other than the parentheses that is of course :)

I've never been comfortable doing big projects - multiple files, more than a few hundred lines of code - in a dynamically typed language. It's the same reason were seeing the big uptake of typescript. Statically typed languages give us so many superpowers when we need to do refactoring or any changes at all to an existing codebase. Just changing a function name in a dynamically typed language can be hell. Rearranging the parameter order is even worse, cause you have such trouble finding all of the function uses and where you need to update. With statically typed languages you get editor support for simple stuff like this and it becomes automatic and a push of a button almost.
Geckoboard | Back-end/Front-End Developers | London, UK | VISA, ON SITE (but some WFH is not a problem)

Thousands of businesses use Geckoboard to build TV Dashboards that help drive growth and focus teams, by taking the complexity out of connecting their data and understanding it at a glance. Some of our customers include Airbnb, Slack, Netflix and Skyscanner.

We have a lot of interesting, creative work ahead and are looking for curious problem solvers to reimagine how our customers get their data into Geckoboard. You'll be joining a friendly team with great people in an environment with empowered developers, flexible working conditions, and a focus on skill development.

We are heavy users of Go on the back-end, alongside some Ruby services. On the front-end, we've been using React (and, more recently, Redux) for 2+ years, but a lot of us have learned it on the job so you don't need professional experience with it.

If you share our interest in distributed systems, databases, and data visualisation, we have plenty of fun problems for you to work on :)

Here are all our job listings:

* Back-end: https://www.geckoboard.com/careers/#op-155708-backend-develo...
* Front-end: https://www.geckoboard.com/careers/#op-26828-front-end-devel...
* Product Designer: https://www.geckoboard.com/careers/#op-155693-product-design...
It seems to me that the absolute number is what's relevant, not how it compares to the total amount of traffic. That's 1.2 million potential data leaks. That's it "out of a bazillion" doesn't change it.
Maybe this is all a build up to April 1st.
Given that they're apparently so desperate that they're resorting to this ridiculous tactic ("come interview in NZ and we'll pay for the trip for you!", something that used to be totally standard here in the US and still probably is for long-distance candidates), you'd think they'd wise up and raise their salaries to attract and retain people.
That is one utterly adorable genocidal robot. Any chance of a little octopus monster riding around inside ;-)?
"500.000 new Members last month!!1" (I just totally made that up)

I suspect its the same as facebooks "2 Billion Users" - its just good for PR to have huge numbers. If you look too closely you might even lose Members in a Month, and we all know "growth" is very important..
SSO is important for enterprise.. but github presents a challenge where devs usually have pre-existing personal accounts which are added to company github accounts, rather than the company account being used.

In what sense? If you want to use Hangouts but not Chrome, just install Chrome for the sole purpose of using Hangouts and use Firefox for everything else. Think of it as a heavyweight application that you only use one feature of.
Not sure if there is, but if you click the Battery Info... button, it shows a popup with a field called Battery failure in addition to the normal OSX battery status.
I'm guessing they use something like Gaussian noise with a width approx. equal to the uncertainty in the initial conditions.

You're undermining your own argument, that Latvian is especially difficult to translate abstract texts into.
So every website that uses cloudflare should ask their users to change all of their passwords, credit card numbers, and SSN's?

This leak is being downplayed by webmasters because it's so incredibly bad that there's no way of handling it. The credentials of practically any internet user could have been leaked. The only "safe" way to handle this is to give everyone in the US new credit cards and SSN's and to reset accounts and security questions for every user on a site with cloudflare

No, that would be bad. A criterion that's both subjective and elevates pedantry over writing - "this thing is totally not about bananafish!"

Clickbait title. Should read "Moral outrage more likely when scapegoat present"
Christchurch winters are rough because it is pretty humid there and most people don't have central heating. It isn't so cold temperature wise but It feels more cold in general than other places I have lived in The Rockies.
I'm interested in learning more about the Adventure Fellowship role. However, the link appears to be broken.
I disagree. The idea that headlines serve only informative purposes is rather bizarr. Ever since people wrote words on things, they were an entire literary genre for themselves.

Nowadays, people decry anything that isn't a completely literal summary of the article as "clickbait", ignoring decades of history and hundreds of masterpieces.

in this case, the actual "event" is not mentioned in the first few paragraphs. This is clearly a literary choice made by the author, and changing the headline would defeat his intentions and be somewhat lacking respect.

Here are some historic examples, and The Atlantic's humorous efforts at de-phantasizing them (from https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/08/famou...):

– "Frank Sinatra has a Cold"

(Frank Sinatra Is a Complicated Person (and Unfortunately Our Reporter Did Not Get to Speak to Him))

– "Ford to City: Drop Dead"

(Ford to New York City: Drop Dead (but He Only Means That Figuratively, As He Intends to Veto Any Bail-Out for New York City’s Municipal Budget))

– "Death of an Innocent"

(A Young Man Hiked Into the Alaska Wilderness and Died Under Somewhat Mysterious Circumstances, and Also His Ordeal Raises Larger Questions About American Culture)

– "Pearls Before Breakfast"

(Most Commuters Didn’t Even Notice When a Violin-Playing Prodigy Masqueraded as a Street Performer)

– "Headless Body in Topless Bar"
yeah, and they have a more visible border now as well. The purple colour of the "Merged" icon also looks different to me.
This reminds me of a comment by Douglas Adams in which he pointed out the absurdity of regular clocks/watches going out of fashion at about the same time as pie charts became insanely popular (since a traditional watch works more or less exactly like a pie chart).

While this is just a funny thing to notice, it really shows that both technical product design and fashion often depend more on a "look what we can do now!" factor than actual practicality.

Luckily, there are more and more product designers who recognize that minimalism is often the better principle to base their work on.
As ceo of Faveeo a startup active in this space since 2012, I've ben thinking a lot about these issues; and the main problems of twitter are also what motivated me to launch several products since the inception of our own company.

I'll try to post my 2c here :

1) I think there is a paradox on twitter, which is that the more you follow people (the more you use and invest yourself in the tool; the harder it gets to use and to extract value from.

The thing is; for more people it's already hard enough to actually take the time to find the right people to follow (and to actually find them, curate your followings, etc) butthe end result if often times am overload of information which begs the question : how can a app that rewards engagement with negative outcomes can succeed in the long run?

The concept of twitter is just awesome and they invented a whole new medium; but I'm quetionning the concept of following people one by one.

One thing we built at Faveeo is called Horizons, and it enables to show the system some examples of people you like and trust; and our tool will automatically uncover and follow the best links posted and shared by those users.

We call it uncovering and following a trusted network at scale and we're having quite a success with it especially with people who want to tap into twitter without spending their life managing their twitter experience.

Twitter is absolutely full of great content, it's too hard to find.

Twitter could do a massive consumer facing app enabling people to follow topics and trusted bundles of it's own users AND surfacing their best links and content and I'm quite sure it would reach up to a billion users as more and more people are looking for content outside of their own bubble...

Also, twitter should care much more about the content of the links people share; then ONLY caring about the tweets themselves, which to be fair they do with media inserts now.

Happy to discuss this and have a look at http://horizons.social to try our twitter network discovery approach. (self promotion but for once there is a topic I'm actually an expert on :))

About:
Generalist Programmer, Data Scientist

7+ years of programming/data analysis/linux systems administration. I do mostly freelance projects and remote work these days.
In that spirit, I wanted to mention a similar project I have been working on for past few weeks:

https://firstdevjob.com

It's specifically aimed at helping people find their very first dev job (mainly for people who are trying to transition into tech). Right now there are three parts that help with different aspects of the process:

- jobs: jobs for junior positions(through AngelList, HN etc.)

- posts: knowledge in the form of articles. (from learning to code to interview prep)

- stories: interviews of people who have successfully made the career switch to development

If you are a developer who is looking for his first(or maybe 2nd?) developer job, I would love to have your feedback!

Some customers want to play those games. They're not necessarily the same customers. It's not proof they could bring their entire customer base with them.

Those games are made for touch screens. Super Mario Run is proof that no one will ever crack the on-screen joystick problem - Nintendo knew they would not be able to make a good game that way. The end result is certainly fun, but can in no way compete with the experience of a traditional Mario game.

And people will not buy add on controllers for smart phones. Not even for Nintendo.

This reminds me of the arguments a decade ago that Apple should stop making hardware and just license OS X to PC manufacturers. We never would have had good trackpads or mic jacks that can use the clicker on iPhone headphones or all the other bits of integrated hardware and software on Macs.

Nintendo is much like Apple in that they design their hardware features to compliment the games they want to make.
It's almost as if self-reinforcing feedback loops are all over society these days. Being at the top makes it that much easier to stay at the top and crush everything else. Internet companies are just one small slice of this trend.
I'm surprised that the one thing you couldn't replace was Chromecast. I like Chromecast, but I got the impression that Roku and the Amazon stick were pretty similar. Is there a particular feature of Chromecast that you find hard to replace?

Also, I'm not sure that switching from YouTube's provided client to a third party YouTube client counts as divorcing yourself from Google.
The problem for US tech workers is that Eastern Europe is already ahead and India and China are catching up.

Writing a web app can be done by anyone in the world. Writing a driver and understanding intricacies of an operating system, fewer. Creating and implementing new algorithms? Well...

Sucks to be them. US somehow killed its huge research advantage enjoyed by years of successful brain drain from all over the world.

"was as easy as growing good quality marijuana!

Growing your own MJ and have it taste like it does when you by from a pro, is a feat though. When you curate cannabis the right way, the flavors of cheese, berry, fruit, pine or other, comes through.

I think botanists or people who can read and have a habit of, you know, Google up on stuff, will do pretty good at growing their own stuff.

Why Big Cig is dodging this must purely be because of potential bad-will. I bet they feel like I do whenever I raise my voice on a cannabis-related topic at work: will this give me cred or back-lash like a MF?
This isn't news. It's an essay.
WhatsApp implemented a custom keyboard on their android app so users could send apple designed emoji. The question here is on how are they allowed to use the emoji designs by Apple, not about Unicode or, as I've seen answered on other places, how they got the assets.
Hummm, lobbying implies influencing Law to me.

Spreading knowledge isn't blocking science if done with scientists and people with conflicts if interests (unlike grabbing public projects or impeding legal change in your favor).
I had the best effect managing pain with high CBD low THC strains - meaning strains with over 7% CBD and one percent or less THC. If you vaped or smoked them, I am surprised that they made you stoned - all the pain-free people who have tried it with me have complained that they didn't feel anything at all. For me, the pain relief is so profound and quick acting that I can pinpoint the second it starts to have an effect.

Eating cannabis has very different effects to smoking it, due to liver metabolism. I am not sure what it does to CBD, but the psychoactive metabolite of THC does not have the same effects. Eating cannabis is more than just a different delivery method - it's essentially a different drug entirely.

Unfortunately, while I found CBD strains most effective for pain, I personally have not been able to tolerate them - they cause me memory problems that I have not found any mention of in the literature, not anyone else who experiences them.

It's important to note that, unlike opioids, cannabis doesn't make the sensation of pain less strong, it makes it less urgent.

This means that if you won't necessarily feel a direct effect on the pain, but that its subsequent effects aren't as strong - the pain is not as exhausting, distracting, or debilitating.
