This is a particularly dramatic methane release, but methane is being released regularly in the high latitudes. I visit Alaska in the summertime and I see methane releases in many locations -- for example (taken from my kayak):

It's important to say the only reason you can see this outgassing is because the source is underwater. The entire landscape is releasing methane this way, but without any clear signs.
Better save it for anti aging supplements first. Easier to build climate resistant infrastructure here than on Mars.

I actually agree that Uber should be itemizing and charging GST in their fares. But I think that's a separate issue to whether or not drivers are considered employees (and I think the law and precedent is actually on Uber's side there, for better or worse). Regardless, as they're providing a service in Canada they should be charging GST.

I agree - I only use Soundcloud for listening back to radio shows (Specifically Rinse FM. I figured that since I listen to them so often, I could save money by paying for Soundcloud Go rather than paying more for extra mobile data.

The mobile app needs a lot of work, but the saving songs and offline playback (presumably these were the latest things developed on the app) are the slickest and most refined parts of the app.
Imo the contractor designation should be limited to people who have pricing power for their work. Uber drivers have none.

people need to make money for the content they produce

No, not really; people just need to make a living somehow. It's convenient when that can happen as a result of creative activity, but the vast majority of people producing content do so because they want to, not because they are getting paid for it.
"Set up webpack and babel" shouldn't just be a step, it should be something you learn: You need to understand why you need Webpack, why you need babel, what problems they solve, the reason they're now part of your toolchain.

It doesn't take long to understand that, and that's not to say C-R-A isn't useful, but I personally find it to be a gap if I have these massive tools as part of my pipeline and don't understand why and how they're separate from the rest of my libraries.

I didn't assume Christianity or Judaism on your part. Though, it's less likely for a Jew to mistake sacrifice (for atonement) to forgoing things to be able to do other things.

But "sacrificing things" to work harder is still not the context of either.

I don't really understand the reason for your reply.
Philip K Dick was once asked 'what is reality'. He replied 'reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away'.

The problem with beliefs that don't reflect reality are that unlike the lies, the reality you don't believe in can still hurt you. Whatever you think about the true nature of reality, it's a good idea for our politics to include a recognition of the things that can hurt us regardless of our beliefs in them.

why do they keep saying "factory fresh"? Is the CIA at the factory doing the install on every phone that comes off the line? If they install it later on a per target basis then what does "factory fresh" mean? After a few weeks is it no longer possible to install the software?

You're misinterpretating me. Some people already live in jurisdictions to which Netflix permits distribution of their favorite show. Those people can decide to pay for access or not.

It's also true that some people don't live in such places. But that doesn't matter. You said that DRM serves no purpose. For some it may not. But for some people it does.
Maybe not capture, but you can write to the pins at least that quickly. I've seen projects that use the gpio of a raspberry pi to drive an FM transmitter at 100MHz.

1Password seems to put saving to their cloud front and center but you can still choose to not save your passwords on their servers and use your own methods.

> At least if someone dies taking this stuff, we learn a lot.

We'd learn a lot more if they were being monitored as they took the stuff, though. And yet it's still considered unethical to run human trials without preceding animal trials, even when the alternative is people off doing those same trials to themselves without your assistance.

We understand this problem in other domains—that's why "safe injection sites" for drug-addicts exist. So why has pharmaceutical research not cottoned on and begun offering "safe self-experimentation sites", complete with medical researchers + monitoring equipment to capture data, and nurses to help with bad reactions?
I wish there was a way to search for "miracle cure" articles from 5 or 10 or 15 (or 100) years ago, then find out what actually happened to them.

[citation needed, in the form of actual benchmarks]

The thing is that list fusion and whatnot is all just there to get around the handicap that was placed there in the first place by the language paradigm. So you start by insisting on shooting yourself in the foot, then put lots of armor on your boot so the bullet hopefully bounces off.

I assume by "vectors" you mean arrays ... there is no case in which this can be faster than arrays, because in the limit, if the list fusion system works perfectly, it is just making an array. A thing can't be faster than itself.
That may be the case. I was only replying to "that cache of zero days and all those DLLs aren't for mass surveillance" from your comment, again, due to the fact that zero days cannot be reasonably used for mass surveillance as it would drastically shorten their lifetime.
It seems likely that some are doing this. But I doubt that they want publicity ;)
Yeah, any new machine instance has to join the Swarm (and its equivalent in kubernetes-speak). But that can be decoupled from kubernetes or docker swarm mode.

As for image management, it would depend on how you would like to propagate new images. With a private docker registry, you could potentially point each new instance to the registry and take care of propagating new images. I favor this approach since it keeps everything separate and easier to manage.
Late stage investors evidently think they're pot committed.
Something like tracing JIT within limited window of instructions could be the solution. Agreed that dynamism must be part of the solution for real data. Whether it's done on JIT or HW, there needs to be some feedback mechanism, ie. Perf Monitoring Unit on Intel X86.

Agreed.
It is just a question of willingness to learn.

Chrome extensions are just another interface to a web app. They're easy to reproduce by another hacker, but most people won't bother reverse-engineering an extension just to get it for free. You'll probably sell product to people who don't know how to do that, anyway.

If you're concerned about it, then just make sure the IP doesn't live entirely in the extension itself with a simple third-party authentication & payment system.

There are more than a few companies set up like this already. SalesLoft started as a paid Chrome extension!

There's quite a few societies where old people live great active lives up until the day they die and take care of themselves. They're healthier. So shouldn't we try to be healthier and less reliant on the young people too?

Granted stronger social bonds has often been linked to better health so maybe a bit more relying on each other is a good thing.
Good point. There will also be an optimal efficiency speed and power level for a given internal combustion engine, which is more likely to be achievable in hybrid cars where the engine powers a generator and is therefore decoupled from providing direct power to the transmission.
You can get a Let's Encrypt certificate manually; you don't have to automate it. There are a few options, including https://gethttpsforfree.com/ by 'diafygi, which involves running some openssl commands and pasting public keys and signatures into the web form (which in turn send API requests to Let's Encrypt). Or you can find or build a client yourself.

The only hard part is you'll have to find a way to prove ownership other than email ownership. But if these are public-facing web servers, implementing a response for the HTTP challenge shouldn't be hard, and as the website points out, you can configure all your servers to send an HTTP redirect for the challenge to some other single URL, which you can configure manually. https://letsencrypt.org/docs/integration-guide/#picking-a-ch...

This process is significantly less painful, especially on renewals, than the traditional certificate renewal process. If you're already planning on spending an hour of someone's time a year to request a renewal, pay for it, click a link in an email, etc., plan on spending 10 minute of someone's time every two months, instead. (And an hour is optimistic based on my experience.)

Your public and private keys don't change, since these are renewals. You're just updating the certificates themselves. And certificates are public data (they're sent in their entirety when you make an HTTPS connection), so you can just put them in a git repo or an S3 bucket or whatever else is convenient for your deploy process.

A thought experiment. You have a program that costs $5. You collect that $5 at the door. In order to get to your program, participants must walk down a corridor. In that corridor there are people who will, at gunpoint, take all the money, except $2, from ethnic group A, but not ethnic group B. There is no way to ask for the money later.

You can do nothing about the gunmen in the corridor. You cannot move. Its a thought experiment.

Do you:

a) Say the cost is $5. Because to do otherwise would be racist. No people from group A can take your course.

b) Say that the cost is $5, unless you are from ethnic group A, in which case the cost is $2. Everyone who shows up can take your course. Because to do otherwise would fail to acknowledge the inherent racism of the larger system.

In the US, the larger system is demonstrably racist. People who should have $5 have $2. People who should have 4.0s have 2.0s.

This will backfire on Google in the same way that the "But they ask algorithms questions in their interviews" will backfire on Google: they'll attract smart people who can do the job.

But I guess from the perspective of an investor, you can either wait and try to spend money hiring lawyers to sue a broke company for a judgement they won't be able to pay you anyways, or you can take more shares in the .001% chance that they'll somehow rise from the ashes and you'll get some non-zero payout.
I also wonder what impact having a US-based VPN provider vs. an EU one makes with regards to jurisdiction, privacy laws, etc.

You don't _need_ those to learn React. Yes, you probably should use them for a production app, but you don't need them _just_ to learn React. (And it's still possible to use React in prod without Webpack and Babel. We're adding a couple new features to an existing ES5/Backbone app which still uses Require.js, so no Webpack or Babel there. We don't get to use JSX syntax, but the react-hyperscript-helpers lib keeps things reasonably readable.)

CRA serves three primary purposes: it allows React learners to set up an environment without having to learn Webpack and Babel first; it allows experienced React devs to spin up a project without having to do all the configuration work (or copy and paste it from somewhere); and it also provides a common starting point for instructions and tutorials. For example, my recent blog post on using the Cesium.js 3D globe library with Webpack and React ( http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/03/declarative-earth-p...) was able to start by just saying "Create a CRA project, eject, and modify these two config values".

So yes, knowing what all the tools are used for and how to configure them is a good thing. But that should NOT be a barrier or prerequisite for someone who just wants to learn how to use React.
Although some people think of the trackpad as an evolution and the next, better, version of the trackpoint, this is not a universal opinion.

This is really a matter of preference / workflow.

Well, not just instruction profiling, but profiling of effects and tracing of all reads/writes. Very, very expensive.
I turned into a morning person in my mid 20's when I started hiking a lot. I wanted to do a lot of local hikes so I'd get up at 4:30 and drive hike for a few hours to be in work around 10ish.

The key is get up early every day.. yes even the weekends. In order to get up.. drink a lot of water before bed. This will force you not to hit the snooze button too long.

Have a goal to do in the morning also. Get outside, clean the house, or write some code. Don't just sit there and watch TV.

I'm at the point where I naturally wake up at 6am at the latest even if I don't set an alarm.

The best advice is go to bed early.

> It can be tricky to push back against hyperbole comparing AGW to some of those later-stage events without being mistaken for someone who doesn't care about AGW at all.

Yeah, the thing is, that your list roughly translates to:

- Not a big deal
- Many of us are dead
- Most of us are dead
- Almost of us are dead and everything is fucked
- Remaining list items aren't even worth considering

Hyperbole is never good, but it's important to realize that anything above "Not a big deal" means at least a serious degradation of life quality for everyone on the planet.

So maybe let's rewrite the list to show how your and mine lives will look like:

- Everything is much more expensive, no more extravagant meals
- European refugee crisis, except you're the refugee
- Like the above, except everyone wants to shoot you
- The Walking Dead, just without the zombies
- Everyone dies
ASK HN: How to Hire for Remote Work, Full-Time vs. Contract?
We have about 10 US-based team members working for us as contractors, sending them 1099. The team is all remote, located in different parts of USA. We grow fast and need to make sure we do not break any law. We wanted to start hiring full time, but heard about nightmares of hiring when team is spread through different states.

How companies approach this issue? Is it possible to have people working 160+/hrs per month as contractors? How hard / beneficial is to hire full-time? Do we need dedicated HR/lawyer, or using a solution like gusto is enough?

What is the real cost of hiring an employee?
If a base salary is $5k, how much will go for taxes?
Do we need to provide an insurance?
What about overtime? We cannot afford to pay 1.5 rate, we rather offer some bonuses.
Can we state in the agreement we can fire anytime without providing a reason?
Can you recommend some solid, not crazy expensive law/HR firm?

Thanks,
Cool yup that's how it all first started, a single page and trying to use JS to capture content editable.

I guess pretty unlikely as WASM has been designed to be a generic engine which is embeddable in other contexts than Javascript as well. You can already import JS functions into WASM code, I guess the biggest hurdle for JS interop is that WASM only knows about ints and floats, but not arbitrary JS objects.
