Not exactly. The majority of local news organizations don't have the resources to investigate and report on all the events happening throughout the world and so the international wire services like AP and Reuters fill this gap. However, this means the majority of national/international stories being reported by the downstream local newspapers and media outlets throughout the nation/world come from just a few big upstream sources, like AP and Reuters. A criticism of this model is regardless of how impartial the content of the upstream stories may be, the wire services effectively select what stories get reported -- what gets attention vs what gets omitted -- out of the sea of millions of possible stories happening throughout the world each day. This puts them in position to control our window to the world -- to influence what we do and don't see -- what we're made aware of -- and thus they are in position to shape the world's perspective.
If you can make a large enough game of life simulation in hardware that runs at the precise speed to make the clock accurate, I'd buy it in an instant. As in, it can run any pattern you want, but running exactly that pattern results in an accurate digital clock. You'll of course need a few buttons to program in a new pattern and to set the pattern to a specific time.
Ask HN: Is Facebook reading our conversations?
Today I was chatting with a friend about printing some business cards, later we were talking about coding and he asked me about this Perl module named "Moo".

A couple of hours later my friend gets an ad titled:

> I am working on a larger .NET web application in my day job... and it requires things like.. Typescript + typings files, Webpack/Gulp/Grunt/etc. and therefore Node.js and NPM, NuGet, .NET Framework, onion architecture, front-end framework (Angular, or React, or..), Entity Framework, multiple databases, web services/web API, ASP.NET MVC.. I mean, it's just crazy if you step back and think about it.

All long as all the tools and pipelines work flawlessly it's painless.

As soon as something goes wrong, if you are not a specialist or have a deep understanding of the inner-working of all these it actually hinders productivity.

What if Webpack doesn't work as expected because you mis-configured it? what if there is a bug in AngularJS and you're not capable of fixing it yourself? What if Entity framework doesn't support a specific use case/feature of your DB?

While in a professional environment implementing the domain is already a lot of work and people want the rest to be coded fast by using ready-made solutions, each new component, framework should be carefully vetted, adding a new framework or library shouldn't become a reflex.
My solution is not to connect a monitor to my dev-machine and use ssh/tmux to do most things. It also makes work-from-home easy, as I can loginto my devbox from anywhere. But then it depends on what type of work you are doing, and how you are testing it.
I do complete side projects, but I don't complete more than I complete. Often it's because trying to balance multiple projects when each is using multiple frameworks in different ways becomes a massive headache, things get paused and then canned because now there's newer buzz-word frameworks to use!
The answer would be no, but we have no objections to equines of any color.
This is a bit like

$ echo 'Hello World!'

which if, you think about it, requires a kernel, multitasking, driver independence on various level, many drivers, memory management, possible resource accounting, binary api, dynamic linker, interpreter, etc, etc, etc.

All (or at least most) of this seems overkill if you just want to print out 'hello world'. But it makes total sense if you want to do a little more complex stuff.

#notallbots?
I live next door to a rich heroin junkie. She has no job. What's left of her family has basically cut her off. She can afford all of the care in the world, but chooses heroin over treatment instead. Why? Heroin don't care.

The city of San Francisco took her dog away (twice) and declared her place a health hazard for a while, but ultimately it never forced her to get treatment and is tacitly approving of her heroin use. She hasn't paid her property taxes in years and the police come out about once a month, but the US has no ASBO laws so it's catch and release in hippie dippie SF.

She's got the money for the dope, and heroin don't care.

PS> She got the dog back both times.

Almost all of your questions come down to relationships, so the answer from WhitneyLand is important, but I'll be specific:

>> How do I identify that a company might be in need...?

By having connections and a solid reputation, they may actually start coming to you. For now talk to people you know to see if they have a need you can fill.

>> Should I partner up with firms like ours? ....

Yes. But they will need to know your reputation before they are willing to do so. So it's connections again.

>>Should I hire a salesperson?

Probably not. You will be your own best salesperson and will start with your own network.

You should have a base awareness of the tools that your team is using. It's the same for product managers, which is why some of the best product managers come from engineering backgrounds.

Do you have to be as good as your team members at their skills? No, of course not.

Going to be hard to justify hours, timelines and other managerial duties to the people that you report too as a manager if you don't know if your team is working efficiently.

Just my two cents.
Side projects are natural places for programmers to get lost in this kind of bike-shedding/yak-shaving/etc., since they're not under the same kind of "this needs to ship on Tuesday or I lose my job" pressure that work projects are.

"My passion for chocolate did not really begin until I was fourteen or fifteen years old..."

Bit of a background. Dahl going to school in the 30's got the chance to taste all these chocolates (Sweets/lollies) as a tester for Cadbury resulting in a sweet tooth. [0] These stories are told in "Boy" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

Interesting facts: Dahl got the cane for putting a dead mouse in a jar of gobstoppers while at Cathedral School, Llandaff. Credited with creating the word, ^Gremlin^. [1] Dahl collected the silver foil wrappers of chocolate he had for lunch, rolled them into a ball [2] that sat on his desk, the writing shed at Gypsy House. Sharpened pencils at the side, board across his knees and feet on his mothers old suitcase. [3]

Nowhere in the article is the a ^reason^ why Cadbury developed so many classics in this period. There seems to be a fair bit of innovation working out how to get Cadbury chocolates lighter, and no Thatcher didn't have a hand in this. [4]

Shoelace Knots – How to Tie Your Shoes
We had such dwellings once. The were declared illegal.
Coincidentally I recently began a new project involving a user-facing PHP app, and even though I have enough ES6 + webpack + react blablabla experience (and some angular, but I didn't particularly enjoy it), I decided to just go with good old synchronous requests. It makes things easier and, in this case, development time is key.

I'm proficient with most of the tools in designer's toolbox, but when design is not my responsibility within team, I've found a neat and clean division of labour between frontend and design - designer's output to fronted implementor is not done if said implementor needs to run any of the tools of the designer.

Before you jump to conclusion of how responsibility-avoidant I may be in frontend role, let me note that as frontend guy I make it explicitly my job to fully explain limitations as well as opportunities of the medium and give full specifications of the output needed. This way very few iterations are needed to maximize both creativity and efficiency of the output.
That, and NetFlow (or similar) records. While that's just "metadata"-level stuff it can basically reveal a lot about anyone's daily habits.

If a network really wants to dig into the traffic, L7 protocol analyzers (plain HTTP requests, SNI from TLS handshakes, etc) can be quite close (not exactly, but given some statistical tricks - very close) to what someone may see standing behind one's shoulder.

And I've heard some ISPs are really into the foul game, and were caught injecting their own JS into non-authenticated traffic. That was to inject some warnings or ads or whatever (I've read that, like, an year ago and forgot the details), but it could also be spyware^W telemetry, diagnostics and analytics service.
Good call. Decided to do the same.

I'm Canadian. White. Blonde. I'm often mistaken for a soldier. After possibly hundreds of trips in and out of the US spanning four decades, last month the guy at YVR asked me "what religion are you?" That was strange. I didn't have a ready answer and I'm someone who always has a ready answer for boarder guards. I actually said "Well, when my grandfather died we had a ceremony at a church. Is that enough?"

Have you ever been arrested? No.
Have you ever been finger printed? Yes.
Have you ever been to the middle east? Yes.
Are you carrying food? No.
What religion are you? .... wtf did that become a thing?
Not even conflicting orders. I thought it was explicitly stated (towards the end of the book, maybe? It's been years since I read it) that HAL had been ordered by mission command to ensure the success of the mission at the expense of the crew if necessary. As crew members started acting suboptimally, HAL realised they were already jeopardizing the mission just by being fallible humans, and started to fix the problem. An example of the law of unintended consequences, maybe, but not a malfunction.

"if each coin is worth 1/10th its cost, nobody will mint them"

No. What will happen is as the miners with the highest mining costs drop out of the network, the difficulty target will decrease and decrease... until people stop dropping out of the network.

No, again the difficulty target would adjust to regulate the rate of coin rewards.

Hedge funds are much more heterogenous than investment banks. Some of them are very disciplined, other ones are overgrown family offices.

I know someone who worked at a famous hedge fund in Connecticut whose name starts with B and ends with R. He told me they hire a lot of superstars and put them to work doing things that leave them feeling underemployed even if overpaid. He left. Like many places the dominant analysis tool is Excel and lately they have gotten into desktop virtualization so that employees can't walk off with laptops full of valuable data.

Other ones are more tech focused, I had a guy from Renassiance jump on me at a vendor conference circa 2005 because I asked a question about "distributed main memory databases"

Outside of finance I am a huge fan of the startup scene in NYC.
The Internet Is Fundamentally Flawed
So many people not getting the joke here. This article is a send-off of the idea that PHP is "just easy" anymore, but frankly, misses its shot.

Of course it's complex when you introduce complexity. So is anything by definition. If you don't want to do complex things, you're fine. But if you want to have a database, have a framework abstract away the truly dangerous and boring shit, use a modern, type-safe version of Javascript, write CSS in something approaching a maintainable fashion, and deliver a responsive, reactive site, you'll have to do something like this, regardless of language.

Also, the author neglected to set up database migrations, to say nothing of a Dockerfile.

I live in Michigan and have friends in Muskegon. The town is on Lake Michigan and gets what we call lake effect snow. So winter is more brutal and probably at least a month longer than what we experience inland.

The Life and Times of Zero-Day Vulnerabilities and Their Exploits
I don't miss having to manually add includes and update dependencies with FTP. I don't miss htmlspecialchars or mysql_real_escape_string, I don't miss running everything in the webroot, I don't miss having to switch contexts between PHP, HTML, Javascript and CSS all mixed in one file.

The good old days kind of weren't that good. The simplicity of bare PHP was great for cowboying up sites in a hurry, but it's not a system that handles complexity well.
I don't have a solution, but my point was that not all addicts are victims. For some, it's a conscious decision about choosing heroin over life (insert Trainspotting ending here).

Unless the US adopts some sort of ASBO laws, there's not much you can do about forced treatment for someone who doesn't choose treatment.

Also, you could substitute heroin here with any other equally damaging substance like alcohol and the situation wouldn't change.

Have you read the article?

"Those two venues, as it happens, were not in Austin nor part of the band’s South by Southwest agenda. In addition to the Seattle KEXP radio promotional performance mentioned in the Facebook statement, Soviet Soviet also had booked three other shows en route to Austin: one in Seattle and two in Southern California.

Archived web pages for those events indeed show that shows in Seattle, at Kremwerk, and in Los Angeles, at Echoplex, carried cover charges of $10 to $13. (A show in Long Beach, Calif., was advertised as a free event.)"

So it looks like at the time of the incident at least there seemed to be some sort of payment collected for shows which was sufficient to deny entry.
