Yes, I am definitely considering just using plain Javascript. I just have a fear of maintaining plain Javascript applications - the hacks just seem to build up.

Then again, maybe I should just put the time in to make a well architecture and maintainable plain vanilla Javascript application. I'm definitely a fan of minimalism.
Is there a good option for encrypted cloud storage that this can access? Unless you want whoever scanning your stuff and seeing your collection of anime...
That's something I'm wondering about too.

In a professional setting is the time better spent practicing refactoring katas and going actual development techniques to make code better vs playing a game.

I think using it in a CS101 or learn to program class would work well.
I don't see how a number cribbed from a comparison of "work day length" (NOT total hours worked!) across the entire US workforce (and thus not correcting for the fact that women and men have different career statistics) says anything about whether women in the tech industry covered by this glassdoor study work more or less hours than their coworkers.

What you did is go out through the whole world of statistics to find one value that kinda/sorta "fixes" this inconvenient finding in the direction you want. That's just baldly ridiculous cherry picking, and you should be ashamed.
Well, about 10 different googlers have hinted at it on HN threads and elsewhere over the last fortnight.
>when the president in power has insinuated the assassination of his opponents, encouraged his supporters to engage in violence, been spinning outlandish lies about the former president wiretapping him, etc, well I call that fascism ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Consider looking up the definition, because the definition of fascism is not "having a leader who makes dumb statements".

Nor is this word a label for "a politician who makes you feel really bad emotions".

It means a certain type of government policy.
I booked a few AirBnB's in Southeast Asia and it's usually a sketchy experience. A lot of the locally owned hotels contract out to sketchy dealers in Australia or China who handle the bookings for them. I think it's technically against the TOS but that doesn't hold much weight around there.
Riot seems quite similar to Vue, and at half the size is pretty appealing. Have you used it in production before?
Yeah it can do all the follow/tracking/orbiting automatically. And also follow the controller signal as well (the others rely on image processing.)

The only things it is missing are waterproofing and throwing it up in the air to take off.
> Fortunately for Trump his henchpeople were smart enough

Not so much that — we have ample evidence to the contrary — but more conventional media outlets like the NYT, WaPo, CNN and so on are more than happy to publish unredacted leaks themselves, if they embarrass Trump. Wikileaks is whom you bring your story to when nobody else will publish it.

As a 2+ year user of Firebase, this is long overdue. I built my own cloud function infrastructure using their Java SDK and Digital Ocean and I couldn't have built my app (ProBooks.com) without it. It's good to see Cloud Functions moving from Alpha to Beta!
If you're looking at it literally, where 9 out of 10 startups fail and the majority of founders are first timers, then it wouldn't be so far-fetched.

I don't think there is any data to back this up and using induction is fair here.

However, if we're labeling "CEOs" as CEOs who are also in-charge of large (100M Cap) companies, than we would need some formal data.
Having spent a few years in KW, I have a feeling it might be difficult to convince people to move there.

PS - I love (perversely) that this is a low-rated question. Read a good business history and you'll find that unconscious traits, prejudices, assumptions, etc are what kill; far more often than, say, "market conditions."

We live rather coddled lives in this corner of the world. Most of us don't, as young adults, know what it is to be serious about anything. Nothing truly bad has happened to us, or even threatened to happen, so how could we know what human beings who are deadly serious look like? Unconsciously, we expect someone to come along and wipe our nose for us. Which ain't business-like.
For years I've wished to see an implementation of the basic feature set of Org and Remember, et al., as a javascript/node app that could be re-packaged as an outlook plugin, browser extension, or electron app, etc., ...for those of us non-pro-programmer/hobbyist types who really want to use emacs and org to do mere mortal stuff but don't need to live in a code editor/IDE like the pros.
At your link, we hear Comey say: "We did not develop any evidence that the Trump campaign or the current RNC was successfully hacked."

I probably am naive, but at least I'm not so naive as to hear anything from Comey other than CYA over his own "election-affecting" but now-forgotten Clintonian email releases.
The atoms are manipulated by a scanning tunneling microscope [1], which allows you to both image and manipulate single atoms, as shown in the movie "A Boy and His Atom" [2], also made by IBM. You can make sure there's only one by just taking an image at a resolution high enough to see single atoms.

This is fundamentally a scanning technique. A very sharp tip, down to a few atoms at the point, sometimes capped with a single carbon nanotube, is scanned across the surface of whatever sample you have, which for a measurement like this, must be almost atomically flat. A bias is applied between the sample and the tip, and quantum tunnelling can allow for electrons to move between the sample and the tip. This current can then be measured, and correlated with sample height or electronic properties of the sample. If you scanning step size is less than that of the size of an atom, you can then image single atoms by detecting the change in current due to a different species of atom, or due to the change in height between your flat surface and tip when an atom is sticking out of the top of the surface.

To manipulate the atoms, the tip is moved close enough to an adatom that it begins to form a weak bond with the tip. The tip then can move and essentially drag the adatom with it to wherever the researchers want. [3]

I think the founders AirBnb and Uber are afraid to transition to being legit companies. The lack of IPO is just a part of it.
Yes, but you get healthcare and being non-white isn't illegal, so that helps.

Also - not really? The highest federal tax bracket in Canada is 33%. The highest in the states is 39%. The highest provincial rate in BC is 12% and that's about the same as California. I'm sure there's a lot of variation depending on an individual's situation, but you're really deluding yourself if you think American taxes are low, for the shit deal you guys get.

I haven't. They won't allow me to enter, because of my nationality, ever. Please tell me more about how Dubai is like SF except with more relaxed visa laws. I certainly will never be able to experience it myself, since only SF will let me in, so I'll have to rely on your stories for comparison.
The book Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software by Charles Petzold is pretty fun for kids. You can play along with almost everything in it if you buy some (cheap) hardware. Very "hands on" explanations.

Actual racists are perfectly happy to be called racists and will self-identify as such. The people who feel bad when you call them racists are the people who aren't actually racist. The discussion around racism isn't about whether racism is good or bad, and it hasn't been for decades. The discussion is around what exactly constitutes racism, and there are a whole lot of people out there ready to label all manner of innocuous behavior as racist.
Honestly, so what? Something got built that wasn't the x-millionth rails app/clone and it made it into production. That's a good thing. Your comment seems to advocate never try anything new.
52% income tax is only on income > 67K euros, below that it is tiered with the next level down being 40%.

The wealth tax is subject to an exemption of the first 25K.

Also important: there is no capital gains tax and healthcare costs are ~100 euros / month no matter what you earn.

This makes a lot of sense. If investors can get a real feel for who they're investing in rather than a lot of marketing/canned pizzaz, I think they'll make consistently better decisions and founders will get a much clearer understanding of where they fall short.

Not to say that showing a proof of concept should be ditched entirely, but making a marketing pitch is not always the same as having a good idea.
Useful numbers, but in a discussion about what could happen, ultimately less informative than they seem. The U.S. can drastically reduce the citizenships they award, and China can start awarding permanent residencies or citizenship. That is one aspect of what China capitalizing on this might mean. China has shown itself willing to change to achieve what it wants.

What "hacks" do you expect from using plain JavaScript? The biggest hack in plain JS is usually in my experience creating HTML elements dynamically based on data. That's where Handlebars would come in.
>It's entirely possible that either they failed to break in

Comey disputes that in the linked article.

>or that they failed to get any significant information.

Or maybe it is possible that they got more significant information and it was never leaked because it is more valuable as blackmail material. Neither of us know which one of those theories is right.

What we do know is that both sides were hacked, probably by the Russians, and data from only one side was released. By wide consensus those releases were timed in order to maximize the damage they did to Clinton. That is exactly the type of action you would expect from someone motivated by politics.

So yes, if someone takes 10 years off to raise children or to go yachting around the world or to help sick children, they will probably not command the same salary that their (otherwise identical) co-worker who stayed in the field for those 10 years would command, because they likely won't be capable of "equal work". Anyone doing anything else would be systematically overpaying their workers, and are likely to be out-competed by companies paying market wages.

I'm confused by your patronizing tone. You seem to think I don't know that this is common practice.

See, the point of the prior post was: I disagree with this premise. The question should be, "How well does this person do the job" not "how well does this person match my preconceptions about how an expert in this job should look." This is especially the case in the world of software and software products, where we're notoriously bad at identifying talent and educating people.

Anyone who's designed tech interviews with a high technical standard can tell you that years worked is at best a weak signal.
I think the killer was really the very low projected price of the pre-order, even today nobody makes a drone that does what Lily was supposed to do for less than $999.

Trump spent his campaign talking about banning Muslims. Rudy Giuliani is on record saying that the original order happened because Trump asked him to implement the "Muslim ban" legally. Personally, I'm willing to believe the people involved when they state their goals and motivations, and I don't think that quoting administration insiders is reasonably described as "inflammatory."

Describing them as "insane" I'll grant you. But it doesn't matter whether or not they really are: a lot of people think they're insane, and that drives how people make plans. Trump might be the sanest person on the planet and might be ironclad in never doing any sort of visa ban again, and what I described would still be accurate as to why people might not want to make plans to interview with YC in the US.
Excited to see this, but holy shit is it unclear what expected costs could be. It seems like it might be on the cheap/affordable side of things, but it's not obvious. I almost prefer to just use Compose.io because at least the pricing is clear.
maybe you don't mean it, but the way you speak sounds very judgemental and not-in-my-backyardy.
Goog-411 predates that quite a bit an dis arguably more Googley. Launching a free 411 service (at a time when you usually paid per minute for that) and using it to improve your voice recognition algorithms.

It was essentially "OK Google" for dumb phones.

For anyone not familiar, 411 (in the US at least) was the directory service number. You could call it to get things like what time a restaurant was open until. Directions to the airport. Etc.

Mathematics is also mysticism. 1 is arbitrary. The senses can never perceive 1. So it is self-contained. There is no time without perception, and no perception without division. Consciousness perpetuates itself, but it has no reach outside its self-generated paradigm. Time is created by the witness, and the witness is time. It's a circle the mind cannot escape. If there is such a thing as a quantum computer, the mind cannot comprehend its output. Your hashes won't be broken.
Do..you have a point?
I don't think that's true - many companies have stricter policies about this or simply block it via technical means. No outside emails with attachments or links for example, screening phone calls and strict training.

You don't see leaks from 3-letter agencies because someone phished them - while it's definitely possible to contact them.

You can do a lot with training - simply frequently attempting phishing on your own employees can do a lot.
Software already exists to indentify common PII like credit card numbers and social security numbers (need it for HIPAA requirements) and besides probably any freshman programmer could build a simple regex to find simple PII.

I've recently been diagnosed with type 2 (a few months ago), and have noticed significant benefit from a low carb diet, just as you state. I'm curious if you've looked into intermittent fasting as a method of trying to reverse type 2 as well.

The general gist is that it gives your pancreas some "time off" from having to manage blood sugar increases due to daily ingestion of food, hopefully allowing it some time to "heal". I've started this and have noticed a small bit of improvement in my blood glucose levels, both on the fasting day and for a few days on the non-fasting days. I've been fasting one day in six.

I'm skeptical of this actually "reversing" the disease, but it does seem to help my numbers, as well as helping me lose a small amount of weight. It also reacquaints me with hunger, and makes it easier on the non-fasting days not to succumb to non-hunger related eating cues, at least in my experience.

Stuxnet and Bluetooth vulns, merely sitting on someone's hard drive, not deployed against a target, not being executed, are absolutely inert and are of no harm to anyone under any circumstance conceivable.

Criminalizing the use and transmission of some kinds of information makes sense. I've yet to hear a convincing argument why mere possession should be criminalized, especially given the incentive it induces in otherwise law-abiding people to hide, rather than report. Browse the wrong web page, and you are immediately guilty, the actions you take afterward to hide it or not the difference in how the rest of your life ends.

That is not an action that a normal person should ever have to take.
(Cloud Functions for Firebase PM here)

We’ve been developing this product for years, and we’ve had it in private alpha testing for well over a year, so we’re incredibly excited to finally take the wrappings off and let all of you try it.

Firebase has always focused on empowering you all to build extraordinary experiences for your users, without needing to worry about building common infrastructure. While we’ve made big strides towards this vision in the past, we always had one big hole: trusted code execution. Today, we’re completing the story with Cloud Functions for Firebase so that you can easily run server-side code in response to events from your Firebase app.

We think you’re going to love it, and we can’t wait to see what you build with it!
I know it's not normally a good idea to comment about voting and comment position, but there are a lot of people talking about this issue on HN and this comment is one of the few written by someone directly engaged with these issues. If Dan says he hasn't heard anything from any security team he's familiar with, that's not dispositive, but given how connected Dan is, it's certainly a real data point.

I say this because it would make sense to vote a comment like this down if it was just a random opinion. I agree: "don't trust Assange" is kind of a banal sentiment (I share it, but I wouldn't claim it was interesting enough to showcase). But that's not all Dan is saying.

(I haven't heard anything either but, I mean, I've only known about this for about 3 minutes now).

He uses the terms "old" and "current" to describe the hacks. The "old" RNC was hacked. The "current" RNC was not. We have no idea what those terms mean or why the data collected from the "old" RNC wasn't leaked.
Thanks for the compliment, I didn't realize it would turn out so long. I think I ought to start writing more often.

I joke about the interview process existing to inflate the ego of the interviewer, but it isn't that far off. Everyone wants to be Google so they have to "act like Google". Meanwhile Google stopped doing that five years ago, but they're not going to tell you that.

I don't know what happened at that Kaggle interview and I'm not going to single out the people or the culture there because it really could have happened anywhere. Maybe I could ascribe some of it to having so many people coming from academia, since we (the PhD and post-doc dropouts) tend to have such enormous chips on our shoulders. But it's just our interview culture in general, so much unconscious bias.

I really would love for interviewers to look at your resume, say "well you've been gainfully employed doing this for 5 years, let's delve into your soft skills and see if you are actually a communication / working fit for this particular team" instead of just trying to see if you meet some arbitrary algorithmic bar and hope that correlates with job success.
