I lately started thinking about a calendar system and a bit experimenting.

Mainly I want a continuous calendar. Just a table of weeks. My thought is to tie calendar with e-mail (what a novel idea) and todo list. I would like to enter new events just writing down with some kind of simple language and auto-completion. I feel that most calendars have too much friction comparing to paper calendar.

Todos should jump to the next day until they are done or deadline is met.

I would like to tie it with e-mail so I could pin the e-mail to specific day or to a todo item as described in previous paragraph. It would be a calendar first and e-mail second.

I wanted at first have it running as a server on a tablet that I would stick to the fridge. It would only need a thin proxy, but thanks to Let's Encrypt it would run with end to end encryption. Also running SMTP server on a tablet. But it is a bit too complicated to do at first.

According to this article:

http://www.bennybottema.com/2010/08/08/how-ubuntus-broken-bl...

the guilt is both in Ubuntu (which updated the bluez version and broke things which were previously working) and the bluez programmer[s], which are described as "cowboy coders".

I personally believe both are accurate accusations.

I wonder if Ubuntu felt pressured for some reason[s] to upgrade to v5 (eg. support for v4 was going to cease), or if it was just "upgrading for the sake of upgrading". I have the suspect it's been the latter, since it's not that v4 had insufficient features or that the BT protocol would change in the meanwhile - not to mention that they actually did the exact same thing long ago when moving to v4.

Those who in high productivity sectors make more than enough to warrant working instead of staying at home. My wife is in this category. And you need to think of this more than a simple one year ROI.

Leaving the workforce for 5-7 years (or more) can shave hundreds of thousands or millions off of lifetime earnings. You are talking about leaving the workforce in prime of your career and not getting experience and promotions for several years. My daughter is 2.5, and my wife has been promoted twice since she was born. Leaving the workforce from the ages of 30 to 37 could be fairly catastrophic to one's lifetime earnings.

We live in the Washington, DC area, with the highest childcare costs in the U.S., and the long-term financial impact of her not working would be staggering, even if working versus not working was a complete push while we had pre-school age kids.

There are reasons why a spouse may want to stay at home to raise kids, but rarely does it make long-term financial sense.
"just as easily" is not exactly true. Sure mom can pump and leave breastmilk (an inconvenience, some might say!), but there is at least one good reason that moms are moms, at least for the first year. Hard to argue with biology.

>Security cameras don't tend to be aimed at the sky

True, but this is the HQ of the most expensive, most technologically advanced military ever to exist.

>What other cameras do you expect to have recorded video?

Cameras every couple feet along the exterior of the pentagon. Cameras on every light pole in the lawn. Cameras on the fences. On buildings facing the pentagon. ...

There may even be a live satellite video of the event. Or surveillance planes monitoring the area.
You can't leak what you don't have.
Oil price stabilization? War in the area seems to have caused the opposite effect for the better part of the last 2 decades.
You'd see way more evidence than what they have provided. There is basically no video footage of the plane hitting the pentagon. That's very strange considering the building is stacked full of cameras--or so you would assume.

That building wasn't hit by a plane. At the very least we would have crystal clear videos of it happening. What I think it was is this: the false flag planners got a little overzealous and didn't pull the Pentagon attack off as well (no proper videos, planes in plain plain sight) so they have resolved to downplaying it. Now they're back showing photos to convince people that need very little evidence to believe something. You can just tell by the way they have 2 photos of a serial number and an american airlines logo. Of course it could be real, but don't tell me you can't imagine top players saying: "Make sure you put these clearly branded items in a few photos." If a plane really hit, what I expect to see is a all the plain parts that are there put back together in a chalk layout like a murder scene. I expect to see piles and piles of those pieces of metal with serial numbers on it. The problem can only be that they just don't have it. And not cuz every single piece but precisely one with a serial number on it was destroyed. If they have a piece with a serial number on it, that means they should have 100 pieces of the same metal type without the serial number on it.

We have a prototype at Nylas which is pretty awesome, but haven't had the time to really finish it. (Focus is important!)

Actually, while the title is a little off-the-mark, the article clarifies that they determine the desire for "gender equality" from surveys which ask about it directly. The surveys they use do not ask "Would you prefer a stay-at-home-wife?". Instead, they ask if the respondents agree that "It is much better for everyone involved if the man is the achiever outside the home and the woman takes care of the home and family.". Clearly the latter sentence is a value judgement that does not support gender equality (because if they had supported gender equality, they would disagree since having a stay-at-home dad and working mom should be equivalent to the situation described).
I guess I'm in this category.

It's funny to see how many educated people on HN expect to see something like "Russia / FSB / etc" hacking tools or documents leaks or whatever. Probably it's due to looking at how three letter agencies operate in first world countries someone would expect that you actually need that many people to steal some emails or get hands over company database.

It's obviously that no matter how big NSA conspiracy is every dollar spent, every meeting occur, every decision made all have to be controlled and documented. And any 3rd party company working for agency must have official contract, must report taxes and sometimes can even sell all the same tools for other governments. So it's thousand people participate at every single step.

In world of paranoid and corrupt ex-KGB mafia nothing like that required. All you need is just few experts and enough of money. Russia have plenty of online criminals: carders, illegal pharmacy and drug dealers, owners of credit card processings used for fraud, money laundering payment systems, botnet owners, spyware developers and most of them are controlled by state or somewhat under special agency protection racket.

Need 0-day exploit? Rootkit? Spyware? Any unique tools? Anything can is there for money! DDoS attack or a lot of proxy servers at any location needed? Plenty of services there and agencies obviously know owners. No documentation or reporting needed since corrupt government agencies are closely tied to those criminals for years.

So the same attacks that would involve at least few hundred of people in usual US three letter agency would likely require to just few dozens in Russia. What's more important no one would ever tell the difference between this activity and usual agency behaviour that related to usual corruption schemes.

So if you seriously think there is Russian government behind some attacks then shouldn't expect any leaks about that. If there is something important for Kremlin they wouldn't mind to dump money on it, but there will be very few people aware of it and of course there will never be any documents or other traces since they would be done as any other attack against commercial company or opposition politician.
Look at all the people complaining that wikileaks is anti-western and/or foriegn supported/agents with no proof of this whatsoever.

No, a hypothesis was asserted, and quickly disproven by data. Without stronger data, the rest of these responses are called "backpedaling", no matter how positive your language might sound.
If you read the articles published in the media they often contain phrases like "according to WikiLeaks" or "Wikileaks said". That is because Wikileaks gives summaries and comments. For a taste of how they mislead journalists, you can follow the wikileaks twitter account.
Perhaps because it has become harder for families to afford so it is now seen as a luxury? And people want luxuries...

Stability. Better QA, not having my family and friends see another "$x had an issue" every time they boot into their accounts and being embarrassed that I recommended Ubuntu to them.

Seriously, I use gentoo, and my gf uses GNOME Ubuntu, and she has issues with the same services that I don't have a single issue with. Forget about multitouch or external monitors, no one other than fanboys and enthusiasts use that. Provide a stable experience first then move the boundary.

Whenever this comes up, I like to ask what people would expect could be revealed about Trump that would materially change anything. The Clinton campaign raked him over the coals to the point that deluded people now think wearing a vagina-shaped hat is some manner of effective protest. It seems pretty likely that any leaks about Trump would be boring in comparison to how he appears in the public eye in the first place.

Thread: The 100 Greatest Lies in Physics
sure, but here her voice is at the top of a widely read internet forum, and there's a polite conversation going on about it. This seems like a win for the internet. I can't stress enough that I respect the pain of public personalities in the age of the internet, to the extent that they suffer harassing emails, fake police calls, stalking, and lord only knows what else. That's not what the conversation is about though (those aren't examples of 'trolling on the internet' those are examples of illegal harassment).

The internet is and continues to grow as a powerful tool for people who want to learn, converse, share ideas, entertain themselves, build things, etc. The idea that 'the trolls have won' seems misplaced and strange.

What would be the purpose of putting up so many cameras? Why would Congress vote to spend so much money on it? The place has guards with eyes, why would you need a ton of cameras too?

In any case, you can get pretty close to the place without any special permission. Various public roads go right past it, and there's a busy Metro station and bus terminal right outside the front door. I've been past there a lot and don't recall ever seeing this hypothetical mass of cameras on it.

The idea that the Pentagon is super-important and therefore must have had a ton of high-quality cameras surrounding it is common, but appears to be based on no real-world evidence. If they were real, surely somebody would have posted a diagram and said, "this security camera, circled in red, should have captured video of AA77."

> There may even be a live satellite video of the event. Or surveillance planes monitoring the area.

This is absurd speculation. The US doesn't have live satellite coverage of the entire planet today, and certainly didn't in 2001. They wouldn't waste scarce resources surveilling the middle of a large American city. As for surveillance planes, people notice those when they're around, and as far as I know nobody has ever said they saw one on the morning of 9/11.

Nobody anticipated this kind of attack. You will find massive surveillance systems geared toward detecting attacks they did expect. There are gigantic radar installations and fleets of satellites whose sole purpose is to detect incoming nuclear missiles, for example. But nobody thought of watching for a rogue airliner.
they are both forms of disinformation, and usually organized by interested parties as focused media campaigns, so therefore not just disinformation but outright propaganda.

fake news is a subset of disinformation.
That's true. Immense referral opportunities for both for major/mainstream brands and the growing ones.And many brands have a host of products targeting black women's hair.

Re incanter I fully agree - it also works for all my use cases (well, if something is missing and you know what you want, you can usually write it on your own using stuff incanter does have, did this eg for Logistic Regression) but I think it has so much potential.

For some time I expected a Java lib to appear but whatever came was always forcibly distributed (Spark, Mahout) and/or you had to first instantiate an AnnotatedDistributionParameterFactory which instantly makes me want to puke. So there we go, incanter is not maintained but probably the best you can get on the JVM :-/
As a working mom with a stay-at-home husband, I don't love the wording of the question. There's no way to tell which respondents think women shouldn't work, and which ones simply value the work of stay-at-home parents. I know they've asked the same question with the same wording for decades, but I'd still like to see what results they got with a gender-neutral statement like "It is much better for everyone involved if one spouse works outside the home and the other takes care of the home and family."

- DESCRIPTION: The cloud team is responsible for making machines available to cloud users, including making vagrant boxes. The problem is this team refuses to follow standards. For example, vagrant boxes should have the main user named "vagrant" but instead forces the user to be named "ubuntu"- and there's been a ticket open about this that's been open for a year now[1]. There have also been network bugs[2] that have been ignored for almost as long.

There is an entire class of employment in healthcare called "per diem", and everyone who touches a patient can work per diem: doctor to therapy assistant. Probably stems from an admittedly patriarchal system wherein nurses often marry doctors, and suddenly find themselves with healthcare benefits for life, then deciding they don't want to work full time.

If a woman is only staying at home for the first year of an infant's life, I really wouldn't call that a "Stay-at-home-wife". That's more of an extended maternity leave. I've always seen "Stay-at-home" wife/mom used to describe women who choose to stay home long-term, usually in place of a full-time career.
Why would they release that video? What would they have to gain other than giving away the locations of their security cameras?

Why would you expect crystal clear videos of it happening?

https://nokiamuseum.info/category/launching-year/2001/

There is an example of the types of phones around in 2001. So we're not going to have third party video. We're going to have shitty thirdparty security cameras(which we received footage from) or the pentagons own security cameras which they aren't going to release the footage from.

You're also ignoring all the eye witnesses.
