That works for the ISS, maybe a DC would just be bigger in scale.

There is also the link problem: if the space DC is geostationary, it will be quite far making for a longer round-trip time (RTT) and latency. If it's closer, it needs a lot of radio stations on earth to keep the space DC connected. And each radio station is roughtly the investment of a real DC on Earth.

Most of developers use Swagger wrong.
But this is the right approach: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-node/

Swagger is a contract. From contract you can generate documentation, client, input/output data validation, mock responses, integration tests, and something else, I'm sure.

If you start development from swagger — you can get everything in sync. That way you can't forget to update documentation, validation rules, tests, or whatever you generate from swagger. That way you can do work once! No work multiplication!

It makes development So Much Easier!

Falsified credentials are surprisingly common. I encounter them frequently when trying to staff various positions and have even come across them a half dozen times among co-workers during my career. The reasons for the falsification are quite varied as well, but I've typically encountered them among people going for senior positions for some reason.

I think you already know this but: laws, like life, are unfair (well, Judicial Laws. Only the laws of nature are truly impartial).
I think what "spam" means to most of us is automated mail that we don't want to see. I remember in the days before gmail I saw people set up auto-responders with captcha-like replies. Even that tiny extra validation step was too much friction. So I guess the people who will find this useful are those that are getting too much mail that an actual human is spending to time to write? Definitely not for me, I could see a business mail, HR/recruiting or something similar but you will probably lose them all unfortunately as soon as they see "bitcoin".
I'm always baffled by the naivity of people when deciding on company names. The challenge is not to spend dollars on finding a new name that is as cool as possible, but the challenge is to find a name:

- that is not used in that context anywhere else, therefore

- free of potential legal liability towards other brands, and

- for which you can build up a brand over time.

How come otherwise competent engineers end up with these kinds of suboptimal startup/project names over and over again?

For Powwow you have other companies, all domains are taken, and you will have to fight wikipedia to rank for this term in any top spot. Same with otto, the car company. Otto is popular first name, name of one of the largest European pre-amazon retailers, etc.

Such a waste of money and time to start with a second-hand brand.

(sorry if this comes across as snarky, I really like the project.)
Space should be a much lower priority than climate change. There's not as much excitement or fun in it, but it's about a million times more pressing.

You can build the app, and to make it functional you could request your own API key, so I think it satisfies the label. Requesting API keys as a regular end user isn't anywhere near being realistic though, so that's not an option for distribution.

To me it sounds like you are saying no, an employer cannot compel you to give them your personal information, but that they can terminate your employment if you refuse to hand it over

is that what you meant? I think 08-15's concern was more along the lines of an employer having the ability to demand someone to give up their personal information without their consent.
I've faced the same dilemma and ended up stuck in Android bc of one single app: Whatsapp. A phone is (still) mostly a communications tool and 99,99% of my contacts use Whatsapp as the primary tool to chat/call/share. So, unless I want to be an e-hermit I need a phone that runs Whatsapp.

(For a little while, there was an unofficial Whatsapp API which I used to bridge chats to my Firefox OS ZTE)
From your own source, the government _made_ about 2 billion off of the BofA bailout. This includes the 2 billion write-off of TARP funds they gave to the home mortgage group.

Not defending BofA, just saying your source material doesn't make the point you think it does.

Thanks for the hint, will look into it. My current tablet is an old Huawei (Mediapad T1 10/T1-A21L). It was part of a promo action and does what I want (I mainly use it was PDF reader), but Android 4.2 gets old and security doesn't get better, so maybe time for an upgrade and this time something LineageOS supports.
>Heck, drunk cycling is only slightly better than drunk driving because you're less likely to run someone over (but might still cause an accident when a driver has to do something dangerous to avoid you).

Drunk cyclists killed 1 person between 2007-2011 in Poland. Drunk pedestrians killed 3 persons. http://ibikekrakow.com/2012/03/28/ile-osob-zabili-pijani-row...

Drunk drivers killed hundreds.

50% of people caught for DUI are riding bicycles. And until recently, they were getting exactly the same prison sentences as drunk truck drivers. Almost half of people imprisoned for DUI were riding bicycles.

I think drunk cycling is completely harmless, and should be legal. If someone is too drunk, he can't keep balance on bicycle anymore and problem automatically fixes itself.

There is a lot of moral panic about drunk driving, but at BAC under 0.5 permille (vast majority of people caught) it's completely harmless or even safer than riding sober. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/WHO_BAC_... Only truly drunk people in cars should be punished.
It's not at all difficult to record a telephone conversation with a Yelp representative.

I was at Radio Shack just yesterday looking for a way to do this. They didn't have a solution. Also, it's illegal where I am unless I advertise it.

So if I were to get a call right now from somebody and needed to record it I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
ptpython is also nice: https://github.com/jonathanslenders/ptpython
Due to the nature of how they must be enforced these crimes are defined vaguely and arbitrarily in relation to actual risk to safety.

Assault, a common violent crime, doesn't actually require the person charged to have caused harm - no intent to cause physical injury needs to exist, and no physical injury needs to result - simply proving that one caused "apprehension of imminent contact" in the victim satisfies the legal definition of assault. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/assault

Driving offenses are also arbitrarily coded for easy enforcement - speed isn't as closely related to risk as following distance. If you exceed 80 mph in VA then that's considered reckless driving (a jailable offense), while no minimum following distance is enforced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reckless_driving#Virginia

Let's file this one under "duh"

It's not ride-hailing apps themselves. Has nothing to do with the fact that it's someone else's car or that you use an app instead of a phone number to order it.

It's the fact that you can get home now for $10 only waiting 5 minutes from the time you decided you want to leave.... compared to paying $60 and waiting an hour.

I recommend Elements of Statistical Learning, free @ https://statweb.stanford.edu/~tibs/ElemStatLearn/

This book covers everything from simple regression and classification from the statistical side to things like gradient boosted decision trees and the like on the ML side with enough math to make sure you understand what's actually going on.

I should note, it doesn't touch deep learning, which is what I suspect most people interested in 'machine learning' without any background in stats want to learn about these days.

A Thank-You Note to the Hacker News Community from Ubuntu
My immediate thought was Cobalt/Croquet. It's nice to see that they mention it, but only as "an ambitious project"; then go on to propose their own (part of) an ambitious project ;)

There are some really compelling things to like about Cobalt; not least the fact it incorporates a load of existing protocols (XMPP for chat, VNC for accessing "traditional" applications, etc.).

Unfortunately, its use of Smalltalk (which probably helped it reach so high so quickly) seems to be holding it back from more contributors and adoption. There are Javascript ports which have seen some limited usage, but they appear to be more constrained. Perhaps bootstrapping Squeak on WebAssembly would help, and maybe offering a layer of JS scriptability on top?

Whilst I wish Matrix the best of luck with their efforts, it would be equally great to see their protocols/ecosystems integrated into existing systems too :)
The concept of Life Imitating Art isn't exactly about trying to make parts of Star Trek a reality, but I think it still applies here. Bezos probably would have been obsessed with space without Star Trek, but it still seems possible that it influenced him.

I'm going out on a limb, but based on this alone, I rank the Star Trek franchise as one of the most influential bodies of fiction ever created. I think of it as a catalyst, rather than a cause, but still.

This article suggests Musk is a big fan of Star Trek as well: https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/09/without-star-trek-th...

(Forgive the click-bait title, it doesn't reflect my view.)
I don't drive drunk, it's not worth the risk; BUT millions of people drive drunk every day and 99.999% get home safely so in their minds it seems safe enough.

It's not as if the instant your BAC goes over .08 you are driving like bumper cars.
Disclaimer: I know very little about any of this, and am just commenting because I was surprised by one of the places listed. That place listed, I work for its 'sister' credit union, State Employees' Credit Union (NC)

It looks like the list items are there for different reasons, not all because they're big lenders who got bailed out. I clicked on Greater Kinston Credit Union[1]. Its reason for being on there is the 'Community Development Capital Initiative'[2].

Excerpt from [2]: 'designed to provide cheap financing to Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI): banks, thrifts or credit unions that operate in markets underserved by traditional financial institutions. The idea was that the banks would then lend that money to small businesses in their areas.'

That one sounds pretty benign (i.e. it's not "bailing out Too Big To Fail companies for crappy practices"--GKCU is a small credit union), so I think the list you posted is more nuanced than crappy Too Big To Fail bailout companies.

There are plenty of people who question whether agrarian civilization was a smart move.
Yep, this happens all the time. I think it's even legal in some states, as long as you are not over the BAC limit.
I have had a similar issue before just call office controller currency. They are pretty good about getting on the banks.
And you need to curate a fistful of routing rules to ensure your streaming traffic doesn't go down the VPN (no VPN provider wants your 20Mbit of Downton Abbey season 5 and you want that traffic to hit the CDN node down the street).

You used Otto as an example. It was acquired by Uber for $680M. Doesn't that mean company names might be less important than you think?

I purchased powwowjs.com (js because it's a javascript embedded app) for $40 after spending 15 minutes thinking about a name I liked. I'd rather spend my time and money building a product that is not yet validated. If the name needs to change, that's totally fine and a lot less time consuming than my current task at hand.

As someone who has to deal with Jenkins a lot and extensively uses Pipelines with Jenkins and has used BO since early betas, I really really like Blue Ocean.

The UX and UI is by far my least favorite thing in Jenkins, so for basic usage Blue Ocean is miles ahead, even though it doesn't nearly have the feature parity of the old UI. That said, I cannot wait for Blue Ocean to grow and get better.

As other people have pointed out, it's largely a byproduct of our development patterns, and it's also somewhat regional. Where I grew up, it was pretty common for people have driven drunk before they ever reached drinking age.
This doesn't solve the problem, when asking for an alternative to Android. My issue with Android isn't just Google and privacy, but the fact that Android is pretty notoriously insecure at this point.

I've been carrying Windows but Microsoft just effectively announced end of life for the last two phones on my carrier.
>I appreciate the tech very much, but the visions of "Millions of people working in space"? I have no desire to be a part of that but I do wonder what they'll be working on?

Infrastructure, warehouses, and a rescue network mostly likely. Getting fuel reserves and supplies into particular places, making ranger stations, and maintaining all of that.

It's also not impossible that some mega rich people decide to fund private projects that only have a slim chance of making a profit. Most of them will fail, but they'll still need workers while it's ongoing, and that still means you're giving knowledge to humanity when those workers figure stuff out and train others.

>And "Living on Mars". No thanks, I'll pass on that too.

That's fine. It seems rough because it is (understatement of the year). But there's always going to be a subset of the population who just want to get out and explore and colonize. The risk is not for everyone, because yes, sometimes you go exploring and die for a stupid reason completely out of your control.

Besides, we really don't have any full-time Martian marketing agencies to influence everyone's perceptions of life on mars. So of course it seems terrible. :)
Ask HN: When to stop testing?
I realize the answer is "when expected benefits are less than expected costs", but am interested to hear how people estimate these two things.

I started off thinking I'd aim for 100% coverage, but have realized that after a certain point (~80%) I wasn't finding any more bugs in the code I'd written. New bugs instead came from code I hadn't written (e.g., cases I hadn't considered).

Yeah, the ACCC are great here. They could always do more but it seems like they're one of the most active parts of our government.

Cycling while intoxicated can also get you a DUI, though in practice it's probably rare.

Yes, questions do come up about choosing a VPN service. And it's hard to get reliable information. Although /r/VPN is relatively useless, at least it points people to https://thatoneprivacysite.net/ which summarizes lots of information about VPNs, and has generally good advice.

In my opinion, people tend to expect too much from VPNs, and then worry too much. VPNs don't provide anonymity. There's no way for users to know what they log. But if ISP tracking is the threat, pretty much any of the major privacy-centric VPN services is probably OK. The short list, in my opinion, is AirVPN, BolehVPN, IVPN, Mullvad and PIA. Not HMA, for sure.

I'm not sure what the deal with your alarm and lights would be. But I'm guessing that it's a firewall rule that blocks LAN access when the VPN is connected. About torrents, do you really mean "slowest protocol"? I would have thought that torrents would like the fastest protocols, with the least encryption load (such as BF-CBC).

Switching on and off, and keeping track of that, is problematic. Banks etc don't like VPNs, and neither does Netflix. But if ISP tracking is the threat, a few leaks won't matter much.
> As soon as you develop technology to escape the boundary of the planet, there’s an argument that civilization will also develop computers and nuclear fusion and fission. Then the question is, can it grow up? Can it become a full-grown, mature adult without killing itself?

That's FUD, citus doesn't "drop half of sql". Anything that can be resolved to a single node works exactly like normal postgres, and the main multinode things you want (e.g. aggregations) work transparently. The actual limitations are usually easy to work around.
