Well, it seems obvious that if you want scalable, redundant, no downtime infrastructure, it will cost more than non-redundant, non-scalable infrastructure.

While it was obviously a good trade off for this company, it seems silly to then extrapolate that all companies would benefit by getting rid of redundancy and scalability.
Slow can certainly be a negative signal, I agree (though if the content is mostly just HTML and CSS without much media then speed only means so much).

But depending on the topic, "stale" may not mean much about quality at all. I've had a FAQ site about Tolkien's books online for at least 15 years now, and as it turns out he hasn't been publishing much lately (being dead and all). So apart from minor updates every few years when his son or other researchers publish new information from his drafts and notes, the site has been largely static for a decade or more. It's very good at its intended purpose, and it's hard to imagine what I could do to provide a steady stream of new content to indicate "freshness" without fundamentally changing the nature of the site.

I imagine that the same is true of a lot of sites out there, on a lot of topics that are far removed from the "breaking news" world.

Same here. No way I am paying those ridiculous resale prices. This was something I really wanted, it is baffling they released it -- then didn't produce a ton more when they realized the demand.

A friend of mine built a pi based emulator, I played around with it the other day -- it was actually very nice. The controllers he used in the setup were bluetooth (8bit brand?).

Hang on.

Trump's claim is not "GCHQ spied on me" - I agree this is the kind of thing that spy agencies do.

Trump's claim is "GCHQ spied on me not for the UK gov, but for Obama".

It's ridiculous to think GCHQ did this.
I've had a lot of success recently forcing myself to do something "boring" in the morning, while I still have willpower remaining, avoiding high-stimulation activities (internet/apps/junk news etc.) until later.

After getting better at beating procrastination, the main problem has been is the feeling that my brain is totally dead and "heavy" after working on mentally-taxing things for hours - napping seems to help with this, but I can't always just nap whenever I want.

It's certainly unintended use of a mobile API, but it's not hacking; it's reverse engineering. HMAC is used for client integrity verification as a signing algorithm; it's not used for generating hashes or ciphertexts of confidential user data. Furthermore, even if it were, it's operating on data that we are sending to the server in the first place. We aren't actually breaking encryption or cracking hashes for confidential user data, we are choosing to manually sign messages to the server using the same methodology as the application itself. Cryptographically speaking there is a very large difference in utility here. The only actual encryption present is the TLS, but both you and the server ultimately see the data.

Reverse engineering occupies a much more ethically and legally grey area than outright hacking because you are fundamentally taking software in your possession and modifying it. There are strong arguments that people should have the right to do this. If can lead to hacking, and it's useful for security research, but it is not in of itself an attack on the application's security (you could make a case that it is an attack on the application's trust model, however).

Now, if the developers relied on the privacy of the API as a form of implicit authorization (i.e. by forging requests from the client I can retrieve another user's data using an insecure direct object reference on a username paramater), and I proceed to do that - yes, that's hacking. You're accessing confidential data in an unauthorized manner, just as you would be if an insecure direct object reference were present on the website. The developers made a mistake in conflating client validation with user authorization, but you've still passed a boundary there.

It is arguable that this is unethical or at least amoral, but if all you're doing is scraping publicly available data using the public mobile API, it is at least legally defensible until the other party sends you a C&D for using their API in an unauthorized manner (so long as you haven't agreed to a TOS by using the mobile API, which really depends on whether and how prominently they have a browserwrap in place). I think the spirit of your point is that someone probably just shouldn't be using an API if they're not authorized to do so, but it's a very important legal and technical distinction to make here that you aren't hacking by reversing the embedded HMAC process.
No, the plot of Sneakers is at the end the NSA thinks they're the only ones who can break the CIA's encryption but really the only one who can do it is Robert Redford!

Postscript: Redford of course then goes ahead and basically announces it to the NSA by stealing all the Republican party's money (and someone else - can't remember) and donating it to causes like Greenpeace and Amnesty International.

Can you explain more why it would indicate a lack of social awareness? If I am interviewing at a company, I want to know the kind of people I'm going to be working with/for. If the person who does all of the technical interviews lacks technical ability, then what does that say about the people he/she hired? If they think a solution to a whiteboard problem is essential, how can they judge a particularly creative solution if they don't have intense technical experience above an beyond the people they are interviewing?

I do not feel guilty for playing games because I play them on Steam for Linux or on Steam for Windows over Wine using free and open source Mesa driver for Radeon. I report any bugs encountered to fd.o Bugzilla [1], and sometimes do benchmarks. It feels like a combination of the usual gameplay, QA (bug finding and benchmarking), FOSS activism, and a celebration of having a working FOSS driver, all of which I really enjoy.

Because nobody ever faced risk short selling. That big market crash that was part of the worst recession in 60 years had nothing to do with short selling. Long Term Captial Management totally came out of that just fine. Bear Sterns is alive today and doing swell.

Almost all slave rebellions

Interestingly most slave rebellions were not about the abolition of slavery as an institution but about flipping the slave/slaveholder role.

An interesting recent example of this phenomenon is the religion Rastafarianism where the notion of paradise is a state of affairs where whites are slaves to blacks.

Success in the sense of formal liberation of slaves and abolition of slavery, yes, very much. Success in the sense of creating a viable society? Hmmm ...
>But the front line workers are kind of disconnected from the design and functionality of the EMR.

We have front line personnel complaining to us all the time that the EMR is slow and unwieldy and suggest features to bypass the features that the EMR has built. These are applications that block the UI thread for nearly every database or long-running call, a veritable sin these days.

Most apps would come from people who have worked directly with the EMRs before, so it's rare to have one thing that talks to all of them but not impossible. If there is a perfect example of institutional knowledge, EMRs would be it. As a developer, you'd be focusing your marketing on people who already have that solution and position it as an addon. Independent products are difficult to do because interop barely exists and that interop standards that do (like HL7) have very little constraints or an escape hatch to add whatever you like.

The reason you have to take this parasitic marketing stance is due to the massive effect that EMRs have on every day workflow. Many decisions for buying software are made in light of how it works with the EMR if it's relevant to patient care. EMR choice is akin to operating system choice for the hospital or practice.

And there could well be a tight connection between the front line workers and the EMR developers, but it wouldn't matter because long-term contracts prevent any threat of either side losing their jobs soon.

Close, but slightly backward. The saturation temperature (dewpoint) is lower at lower pressures. So the lower pressure air reduces the saturation point. The air is not being cooled by the wings. If the sat. point is close to the current air temperature, water vapor will condense.

Similar phenomenon to boiling water at high elevations. Walking up the mountain isn't heating the water, but the boiling point drops as air pressure drops.

None taken. To be clear, we do provide enterprise support for ext4 and XFS as well (which a lot of people use for the reasons you mentioned). In my experience, btrfs still has some growing pains (especially when it comes to quotas, which will cause your machine to lag quite a bit when doing a balance) but is definitely serviceable as a daily driver (though for long-term storage I use XFS).
If you went through a proxy, they almost certainly did.
In college I had no work experience and wasn't going to a good enough school to work where I wanted based on my education alone. I spent two years making games in college, and it was extremely worthwhile. It played a big role in getting my dream job straight out of school, and made me a far better developer than I would have been otherwise. In my experience, it can get you pretty far.

Having impressive side projects puts you ahead of the majority of applicants at most places.

When an application you have legally installed on your own computer is communicating with the outside world, it seems a fundamental right to inspect the exchanged data to check that it is not leaking personal information. If the data is encrypted or obfuscated, this could make us suspicious (why hiding if there is nothing to hide ?) and gives additional motivation to audit the security.

Once the api is reverse engineered, we might be tempted to improve the usability of the application by adding some features (scraping all data). If this hurts the server (huge resource consumption), this becomes unethical and may become illegal.

Ask HN: Starting a business with family, how do I protect our relationship?
My wife and I are starting a franchise business with my brother-in-law and his wife. Our relationship is awesome, and we get along great. While we are all excited about the business, we are concerned about the risks that money can introduce to a relationship. The biggest risk being we don't want anyone to harbor resentment toward someone else for varying levels of effort towards the business. Currently we are both equal share partners and the initiation of the business.

We discussed various solutions to this. One was to track hourly contributions towards the business, and divvy up the proceeds based off level of effort at the end of the fiscal year. The challenge with this approach is that some contributions are more significant than others. You could argue that developing a social media campaign over two hours would be significantly more valuable than cleaning the shop over four hours as an example. Therefore if we were to go this path, we would need to assign some weighting to each activity and it seems to get overly complex very quickly.

Another was to create a RACI chart, mapping out all the core functions of the business, and indicating who would be responsible, and accountable for each major action. The RACI chart would not dictate an allocation of money based on the level of effort, but would aim to hold those accountable for equal contributions to the business.

Neither one of these ideas seem great to me, and so I'm curious what other thoughts people have. The two examples above our mechanisms to comanage the business, our intent is to develop the most appropriate mechanism and codify it in an operating agreement that would be binding.

Thanks
fundamental attribution error is a fancy way to tell someone they are self projecting, so why didn't you just say that? also you might have had disadvantages in life so you may be seeing as everyone else being disadvantaged to, the very thing you identified hes thinking with.

The reality is people are taking advantage of the generosity we have in our society and people who grow up comfortably will never know how to see someone below their standard of living as a leech but instead as oppressed. Redistributing wealth more and more creates less opportunity for the free market to lift people out of poverty.

same here in Germany on windows this morning.. also had to disable QUIC.

Funnily I switched to Microsoft Edge for a short while, but have once again realized why its unusable. After about 1-2 minutes using it, the entire browser became unresponsive for about 60 seconds. Afterwards I couldnt press sign-in on YouTube because an invisible IFrame from the OneNote Web Clipper Extension was overlaying it. Nobody seems to be testing those either :)
I love the game. However, my recommendation would be to get a Wii U instead. Far cheaper, and the Wii U has at least a half-dozen other games that should interest you. The Switch has one good game and maybe one or two more on the horizon and costs at least $100 more.

A.K.A. an emotionally engaging story, which would be very hard to do without some sequence of narrative. A complete sandbox is an endless timesink - if I'm building something freeform I'd rather do it using a medium which provides lasting value - art, 3D modeling, programming or such. But these are just personal preferences, I'm not claiming any objective value of one over the other (narrative v.s. sandbox).
No, @FLUX-YOU has it right. Google Health was only ever intended as a patient portal (PHR) and was a direct competitor to Microsoft HealthVault. Google never added any EMR features. In fact after the initial release they never added any features at all; they just lost interest in it and shut it down.
In a previous life we used LDA (together with some other techniques) to find clusters of similar Android applications (based on their descriptions). We then looked for apps within a cluster that used vastly different permission-gated APIs to identify malware and grayware. It worked pretty well.

But switching might not be that easy. When you have kids in schools, your wife helps at a local X , and your parents depend on health care provided by the corp, it could be virtually impossible for a person to switch.
As others have explained, it's definitely possible to construct those data structures in Rust and use them from a crate. But you can't just flip a switch to get the standard library collections to work that way.

You could probably get pretty far by copy pasting the standard library containers you're interested in and replace Box with something like OffsetBox which uses indices into your memmap arena instead of pointers to any addressable memory. Of course, implementing OffsetBox is an exercise for the reader. :)

You would probably have to write some unsafe code to get it to work. But it's not a blocker for a project.

Banks create new money by lending. Most lending is issued against real estate. People who "invest" in holding the same piece of land to accrue the effort of others do not have 400K. They "borrow" it from the bank (the bank creates it).

Go to your bank and tell them you want to borrow 400k to invest in indexes.
