As an ex-F1 Strategist without the data that I'm used to when watching races, I find this incredibly frustrating. The FIA is the source of any data that teams have about their competitors and this could very easily be forwarded on to the broadcasters. Given that the ownership of F1 has changed recently, there is a chance that this will be opened up at some point in the future.

FWIW, I think that if broadcasters do manage to get their hands on the live timing in a numerical format (rather than on a TV screen) you could see them extracting more interesting stuff than the teams do themselves!
Well, there's a draft to specify semantics of a torrent-of-torrents and incremental updates http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0049.html

Well given that it was considered a surprising and highly non-trivial result when it came out less than thirty years ago, I'll say that it's obvious only in the sense that all statements that have been proven are obvious after the fact.

And yes, I worded that ambiguously. Let me rephrase, to see if I got it correct: Pick any finite axiomatization. Then there is a concrete f(x) that we can write down in about 200 pages, for which finiteness of the solution set is not decidable.

The fact that there are diphantine equations for which finiteness is undecidable is really surprising to start with to me.

Is this like a built-in equivalent of Skeleton and similar frameworks? It's kinda cool the way it brings CSS closer to frameworks like iOS', which has built-in UI components like collection views and such that can be extended to build interfaces easily.

The VA hospital example is an interesting one. I was at a town hall with Lindsey Graham where he used it as an argument against universal public healthcare. And clearly, no one wants universal public healthcare to be like the VA system -- where there are a limited number of understaffed government-run hospitals, and you get no choice as to your doctors.

But the interesting thing is that absolutely no one is proposing that; what's being proposed is Medicare-for-all, where you get your choice of providers (pretty much any existing provider), and you pay the government for low-overhead insurance through your taxes.

It's kind of a really obvious rhetorical bait and switch, but it seems to resonate with people.

No, not really. If it's a prominent tech company like Microsoft or Google, sure. If it's an IT department at a retailer or finance firm, then you don't really know. They may hire consultants for everything, they may cut budgets and squeeze hours, they may keep tech out of upper management. I work at a design & tech agency and we do some high-end stuff, but I can already see the direction shifting away from tech and onto design from when I started.

Some unsolicited advice:

1. I am not interested in jobs that focus on JavaScript, but I'd never say "No JavaScript".

2. when people ask for your CV, post a link (or if you're concerned about privacy, solicit requests via PM/email).

3. Your integrity, sillyness and attire are mostly immaterial to the job hunt. It's most appropriate for folks to make this kind of assessment during an in-person interview.

4. what is all this "nothing will come of it" business? If you think you can't get hired as a result of an HN post, I think you're sorely mistaken. Capitalize on these fifteen minutes. You've created some original, interesting content.
The traffic you're getting to your site won't last, so strike while the iron is hot.

You make it sound like speech hasn't always been a contest; nothing about the freedom from government censorship implies anything else either. All you get with "free speech", is the notion that the government can't thumb the scales with their immense power and influence (having the ability to create and enforce laws).

The problem does have a way to solve itself, but that probably involves the model we see here on HN, which admittedly is preferable to the model of a locale such as Reddit. That said, each platform is going to want to address the problem on a faster timeline, because the problem directly hits their bottom line.
You're right; it's a poor example. I wanted to illustrate the principle in general, and had to go with the situation we already had. My point is that in the general case the seller arbitrarily deciding to refund does not constitute an automatic settlement.

Some sellers may attempt to adjust the contracts to make this true. Depending on your jurisdiction and the nature of the sale, this may or may not actually change the contract. AFAIK, we have yet to see a clause of "I'll sell you this IoT device for a one-off payment of $X and I can arbitrarily decide to stop it working as long as I pay you $X and nothing more" succeed in court.

Well that's the problem you see. You and me agree on that, but plenty people won't. And plenty people won't agree that you can mention gay sex, the coran or a political statement either.

And they are sure to be right, as much as we are sure we are right.

That's the problem with freedom of speech.

One of the solution is to allow:

- anything that is legal geographically
- anything that is not followed by destructive actions IRL
- or both

And even that is hard and very imperfect.

Morality is always arbitrary, it's impossible to draw a perfect line in the sand.

Which is why systems life freenet are both a fantastic place (you got everything man, even the craziest informations) and a terrible curse (you got everything man, even a 10 years old getting raped).

The web-of-moderator is an elegant solution to this problem. You don't draw one line in the sand, you draw many and let people choose a line.

This doesn't solve the moral or legal issue, but it does solve the "i'm offended" issue. Which is more that what we could do up until here.
I very much agree. I was hoping Espresso would be a framework for allowing GCP user applications to leverage Google's SDN, rather than just allow Google to offer their own services using this technology. I hope that's the next step.

For example, it would be cool if it were possible to move shared-client/server-secret checking (eg. for an HTTP API) out to the edge of Google's network, such that a DDoS attack with invalid packets (secrets) never even reach the application VM/cluster. DDoS attacks, which force applications offline (by making the app scale up to an unsustainable cost level), could be prevented this way.
I think it's the seemingly random colors more so than the grid itself that makes it a bit unpleasant to look at.
Bittorrent supports more peer sources than just trackers, DHT being the most important one among the others.
> experience a higher price when demand is increasing?

the economic utilitarian in me says that this is the correct behaviour - a higher demand should induce a higher price, followed by higher supply/production. But this can only happen when there's open, free competition.

On the other hand, essential goods should not be subject to laws of the market - but instead made available at a steady, low rate, even at the cost of the rich subsidising for the poor. Water, food, shelter should be cheap for everyone!
Absolutely. I loved Atul Gawande's book The Checklist Manifesto, about how to transfer safety lessons from aviation to the medical industry. Airplane accidents are somewhat more visible than individual deaths in hospitals, so the focus is clearly there, but I'm sure more people die of mistakes in hospitals than in airplanes.

C++ Coding Time Lapse (i3wm and vim workflow)
If you even think in terms of "firing" B2C customers, you will eventually fail. "The customer is always right" isn't some kind of service-minded epithet with goodness and wholesomeness in mind, no; it's a loud warning! The customer can make or break you, can cause you to spend disproportionate resources to undo what they can do to you. The customer can, with a Yelp or Tripadvisor review, a lawsuit or a blog post, undermine your entire carefully marketed existence.

If you seriously put your pride on a pedestal next to all of that, you just shouldn't be dealing with B2C in the first place; you will be a menace to your organization.
If folks tend to use some higher level abstraction (isn't that what SASS and LESS are?) maybe it makes sense to provide a new way to encode the information in CSS. Similar to how WASM is supposed to be easier to parse than JavaScript, right?

While DRS may seem artificial, it may pay to re-watch Alonso's race in Abu Dhabi in 2010 where he was stuck behind a much slower car for what seemed like the entire race.

With the heavy reliance on aerodynamics and the issues with a car losing downforce in the wake of the one in front, you can view is as compensation for that effect and (if you stretch your imagination somewhat) closer to the pre-aero days of racing.

Since DRS has been introduced however, the number of overtakes in each race is steadily decreasing, so you may see a more radical solution in years to come. I personally would like to see wing-aero substantially reduced and grip / tyre size increased to compensate, but the massive investments in tech and people and aero's tendency to make the whole process mean-reverting make it a strongly vested interest for the top teams.

In a sense, the US states are supposed to work this way. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis described them as "[Laboratories of Democracy][0]". For example, the health care system governor Romney instituted in Massachusetts (Romneycare) was moderately successful, and was adapted to nationwide use as the ACA (Obamacare).

However, you can never really control for differences between the states, which means weak predictive value, and it's easy to argue about results. And given that the policies we're talking about are inherently political, facts and evidence don't necessarily contribute to policymaking.

The original title is clearer: "No, Republicans didn't just strip away your Internet privacy rights".

The leading "No," makes it clear that it's denying that Republicans took away rights; without it, the "just" suggests it's saying Republicans did more than "just" take away privacy rights.

The underlying problem is, of course, the English language. "just" can mean either "immediately prior" (just now) or "merely" (just a friend).
I think there is a lot of value to what is said here with regard to external expectation. Use the people around you to ask after your side project to make sure you don't stall. If having a recurring bill for a node on EC2 is enough to keep you going then that is good enough.

The other thing I recommend is clock your time and be honest with yourself. It helps you know you actually spent 2 hours working on something and also has a constant action to keep progress going forward. You still need to rest so this has to be part of your clock.

Sometimes it does show serious topics that are or have been pretty seriously researched. It'd is quite easy to filter out the entertainment or worthless talks in fact: See if math or diagrams are used.

Some talks are pie in the sky idea talks, essentially fuel for hypotheses. Filtered by talking about a serious subject but not showing math or diagrams.

And finally there are stories. Spotted by a typically "human" talk and "social" topic. Not useful.

Can I have a two-node cluster of PostgreSQL machines where a failure in the first results in failing over to the second automatically? It's okay if I have to run something manual on the first just to bring that back up to speed and act as the new secondary.

How do you support arbitrary dimensions in a tabular database system without massively blowing up the number of tables, the number of columns, or number of sparse rows?

This kind of problem is really an OLAP cube problem, yet you're throwing an OLTP solution at it.

What are you doing differently that will make this attempt successful?

I don't know about Australia, but in most European countries I know, it is quiet easy to lose social security. Things like going back to school, taking on part time or freelance work, trying to start a company, traveling abroad for too long, working for charity etc. can all lead you losing your social security. It also requires you to invest a fair amount of time jumping trough seemingly administrative pointless hoops, where any misstep can again lead to you losing money. So the problem is not so much that it takes away the will to try as it actively discourages the will to try. Since UBI would be unconditional and you cannot lose it shouldn't have any of those perverse incentive problems.
It might work (though I'm not completely sure) if you specify a hash in the img-src directive of the CSP header: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Co...

Another option would be to just use a subresource-integrity protected script to check the hash of a downloaded image/video before displaying it.

Unionizing sucessfully or causing Uber and Lyft to leave the market seems great by me, both Uber drivers I know here in Seattle hate the gig, as Uber essentially needs them to be idle ~40% of the time to keep pickup times below 10min on average. Combined with both of them leasing cars through Uber (which I told one of 'em not to), its a real nightmare caused by Uber.

If this causes Uber and Lyft to leave town as they don't want to allow any room for drivers to organize, allowing the multitude of other ridesharing apps (which don't take anywhere near a 30% to 45% cut) to take their place like what happened in Austin would be fine for Seattle.

Depends on whether you count opportunity costs under 'inconvenient' or 'expensive', I guess. If you have to take time off work to travel to a doctor, wait for an appointment, etc, that's all costs.
Nice game!

This made me uncomfortable though (about CSS grid, not about the game):

grid-area: row start / column start / row end / column end;

So you have to put the rows (Y axis coordinates) first and columns (X axis coordinates) second, i.e. the opposite of how it's done in every other situation - i.e. draw_rect(start_x, start_y, end_x, end_y)

(1, 1, 3, 4) in every other language would draw a box 2 wide and 3 high, but in css grid it selects an area 3 wide and 2 high.

Also the fact it uses 'row' and 'column' to describe the gridlines rather than the actual rows and columns irked me.

I'm sure I'll get over it!
Some customers are a net negative, or even deliberately abusive. "Firing customers" simply means chosing to not do business with them any more. It doesn't imply that the customer didn't get what they paid for.

That said, there seems to be this attitude among some tech companies that they can do whatever they want, and treat customers/users like crap, regardless of regulations, or just what is usual and customary. I think it's a side-effect of people who have no prior business background getting a ton of investor money (i.e. not earning it from business with customers).
I think it could work for remote work, especially for folks with families, but I don't see millennials moving there.
