> What made you leave?
Missing friends and family, very hard to reach with 12hours difference even by phone. Requires lots of coordination.

Very isolated - very little "new" jobs, conferences(Scala) etc... all in respect to EU (where there are hundreds of scala positions etc.).

I was on very good salary (100kNZD++ dollars / year), life was very very comfortable. Besides huge purchases buying house or like that which I couldn't do I found it very hard to spend over half my salary (never cooking, eating twice a day out). I was living alone in AKL renting all the time.

Weather is very nice, but sun is very very strong, so you require sunscreen 100% of time.

> Did you miss european culture ( or sports on TV or anything like that)?

Yes. I'm not sure how to put it, as I'm not native English speaker, but I hope noone will get offended by following. Also this may wildly differ outside of AKL. There are lots of ethnicities, which is fine, but I am single and I am most attracted to single type, so the pool for me to find girlfriend from is much much smaller (I'd say about 20-30%). While people are very very friendly there, the nightlife in Auckland is pretty bad (was much better in Wellington when I flew there once).

> How did you deal with the time difference between Europe and NZ? When I was in NZ on vacation I missed being able to watch the stuff that I am used to on TV in the evening, due to the twelve hour time difference to Europe. I dont think I could ever switch from soccer to cricket.

I don't watch TV so I didn't miss it, and they occasionally had NHL live games on, which is great, since I couldn't watch it in EU since lots of them were at crazy times. They are huge for cricket and rugby, which I given some try but I did not enjoy it as much.

All in all, I do not regret going there and it's awesome country, but my take on it is, if you have a family, it's the ideal place to move into. Schools are great, it's very safe country, people are mostly happy, and salary of programmer's is very very decent. If you're single, and move there on your own, you're gonna have it a bit tougher, but lots of that depends on you.
Windows users have a problem. The suggested solution of copying the URL into Notepad to reveal the true 'punycode' address does not work. Both Notepad and Wordpad render the 'punycode' as it appears in the address bar. Similarly for copying and pasting the URL in place, at least on firefox. A Chrome user commented that it did reveal the fake address.

The Scite text editor did reveal the difference:
http://www.ebswift.com/scite-text-editor-installer.html

Does it work on any others?

Edit: I am incorrect. Windows and notepad are not the problem. It seems to be a peculiarity of the particular browser I am using, Cyberfox 52.0.4, which is converting the punycode as it is copied.

Edit: It looks like my Anti-virus, Avast is doing the conversion. I tested this on browsers with and without the Avast plugin, and the conversion only occurs on the browsers with the plugin.
apparently the original concept was tailored for this use-case: "Dediddo is the minimal sales tool for non-sales people: founders, entrepreneurs, marketers, fundraisers.
Easy, obvious organizer for your sales contacts and to-dos.
You will have peace of mind while managing your contacts and improve your performance. Perform better on your sales."
The opening paragraph is marketting speak so it doesn't out and out say anything anti-capitalist, but the logical inference does try and target those that worry about multinational corporations.

"A decentralized alternative to commercial platforms, it avoids the risks of a single company monopolizing your communication. Pick a server that you trust"

It's offering an alternative to commercial platforms, trying to imply that you wanted that. It's implying that you are at risk and at the mercy of a monopoly.

Ultimately it will fail, playing on people's fears backfires. Always play to your strengths.

It's hard for new entrants because Facebook is being responsive to its users. This isn't sustainable over the long term, people at the top will change and priority will shift to short term fiscal returns.
On the other hand, how long do you expect them to support a product past its "use by" date?
Having had the pleasure of eating at the Wolseley I highly recommend their breakfast, the pancakes with camaralised bananas was amazing.
Affliate link and content sales capitalizing on trendy animosity. Hard to say if the story actually happened or it's more of a tall tale to make money.
They officially researched and responded to what was going to be a fucking hyped out insane event at most major organizations on easter weekend. The fuck you goes to you, it's not the 90s anymore, Microsoft well and truly have their shit together.
That last paragraph. The Android model would be very attractive for cars, even for Apple. On smartphones, that model suffers from the hardware being all too indistinguishable. Glass rectangles with or without rounded corners, maybe a button here and there. Car manufacturers by contrast have a century of experience with making mechanical differences count, on top of the same UI everywhere.

For Apple and Google, the case is clear: if they want to defend their incredibly valuable gatekeeper position for local search (the market formerly known as the yellow pages) they need to provide the UI for the car or else they lose much of that gatekeeping. The question is, will any car manufacturers be willing to play, or are they all trying to succeed where Nokia failed?
At many points in its evolution, Twitter's logo was very cartoonish [1]. Third party companies often seized on this to make the bird even more of a character on their websites.

People would also often reference the bird, because of the connection that birds "tweet".

I can't say if they used the bird extensively in their documentation and backend tools, but that's where it's more likely to have been playfully included since their frontend was always pretty simple and to the point.

Fwiw, all the major apps which have Chromecast support on Android also have it on iOS as well.
Can we somehow see comments that are removed?

If not, are there any plans to be transparent about which speech is removed from HN? I would rather a lock subthread type functionality rather than full on deletion.

On reddit I find myself drawn to the bottom of comments sections often, in order to see the dissent and/or anger and the prevailing responses, whereas here I've noticed more lately of removals and bans all the way at the bottom.
And you are correct. Only the Centurion has any social signaling power (real, at least).

Any other Amex? It's just a credit card, who gives a shit.
Because we have self driving elevators, self driving trains (the DLR), driverless busses (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/03/worlds-first-driv...)

and shortly self driving Volvos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q00jIBhkq4

None of those have human level AI. There's a lot you can do in the real world without that.

It's interesting that Volvo seems, rather than out AIing their competitors to have gone to town on the sensors with several radars, cameras and lidar.
Agreed. For a comparison - https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
Apple is good at UX and design. A L5 Self-driving car implies no UX at all, and most people won't care of the design if Self-driving cabs become a commodity. Apple is not about logistics.

So, Apple's opportunity will be L2-L3.
The rules on homoglyph domain registration need to be tightened up and enforced.[1] As usual, ICANN is soft on making registrars obey rules. That's where the blame lies.

Critical Code Execution Bug on Linux Silently Fixed – Root Level
I agree with your conclusion, but I think your analysis is dead wrong. I don't think Apple would have problems manufacturing cars at scale. They have virtually unlimited money to aquire people with the know how, and to invest in factories. And they have lots of experience with manufacturing already. Sure, cars are different from consumer electronics, but not in any insurmountable way.

The real reason I think Apple would pull the plug on it's car project, is if they believe we are about to move to a transportation as a service world. Ride sharing and self driving cars are trends that point in that direction. Apple is a (consumer) product company. Their internal structure is set up to make the best consumer products and sell them directly to consumers. They are not set up to be a services company. Being a (successful) services company is to some extent antithetical to being a successful product company. Apple knows this.

United explicitly broke FAA rules, in both incidents in the last week.

Both were already seated, when someone more important to them arrived (too late).
Both of them violated not any of the FAA rules by denying to leave the plane or change seats.
Non-sense. Full-on AI is completely another level compared to self driving cars.
It is like saying that we'll have full blown image recognition before pong.
'I’m Rich, but I Understand the Frustrations People Have'
Not meeting industry standards, with respect to cars, is illegal.

Mis-using vehicles while operating on the road is illegal.

Cars are far more tightly regulated both for end-users and for manufacturers.

I doubt GP's claim is correct, but that article is terrible. Those counts are any contributors to repos in an org, not number of contributors from those orgs. And you can see the immediate problem with using orgs when you see both Google and Angular are in the top 10.
Yes, but most NAT routers consumers use act as a firewall too (i.e. they block ingress traffic that is not related to a connection that was initiated from inside)
I pity Dale when NSA reads the article. Telling everyone that you have the whole snowden material? Mate, that's irresposible and stupid
Scaling that model from single-PCB consumer electronics to cars might be difficult then.
Best way to connect 2 bluetooth headsets to each other? RasPi as gateway?
I have 2 pairs of Bose QC35 bluetooth headsets. I'd like them to be able to talk to each other. In theory, it feels like it should be as simple as getting a RasPi, 2 bluetooth dongles (or use onboard + 1 dongle) so both can pair to the RasPi at once, then with some software making the line-in from one go to the headphones of another, and vice versa.

I've spent a while googling but can't find any reference to anyone having done this. Not with a RasPi, not with anything. There's a few proprietary "bluetooth intercom" systems for motorbikes etc, but I want to do this myself.

Has anyone done anything like this, or have any ideas? Which language/libraries would be best to write an app that "marries" both bluetooth connections? I'm very new to non-web programming so I have no idea where to start.
"It is very significant as it effectively puts cyber weapons in the hands of anyone who downloads it. A number of these attacks appear to be 0-day exploits which have no patch and work completely from a remote network perspective."

MS Windows on a network was never really secure. These hacked will makes old Windows based machines toxic. Pretty sure not all, if any of the historic releases will be patched.

Why not have the browser handle this?
I agree with both your points.
Mostly on the political level; it was considered suspect by serious cryptographers essentially as soon as it was introduced.
Yeah, figured that already.
Their logo is a curious mashup.

Tag-line "the future in motion".

Logo character: a horse.

Really?

It's as if they wanted to present themselves both as an old and respectable company (hence the horse, and name), and yet still modern enough to define the future.

The mashup though is so clumsily done it makes me believe the company is either a very early stage startup, or an utter scam.
Think of it this way: there's only a certain amount of productive hours available to people for side programming, and either you spend a majority contributing to open source/building prototypes/learning new technologies/getting your hands dirty; or you spend a majority of the time solving artificial problems to get a leg up on programming interviews. It's a catch-22 if ever there was one.
Neither Notepad nor Wordpad have any mechanism for converting punycode on the fly -- the copy and paste executes correctly on my box and displays as https://xn--e1awd7f.com/ in both Notepad and Wordpad. You must be somehow copypasting the post-converted url.
REI usually has fantastic gear good enough to not have to seek out specialty stores. Just one example: I got a better, rugged water bottle (7 gal) for less that the cost of the crappy (3 gal) one offered by the local water store. If you needed an ultracompact sleeping-bag and tent for protesting in North Dakota winters, REI probably carries it. Or climbing gear. Or a titanium spork.
It means the US goverment can farm out spying on American citizens to friendly foreign agencies then claim to have no involvment in it. Brilliant. Sounds like "rendition"

Will Tech-Driven Deflation Export Japan’s Economic Woes to the World?
Are you kidding me? Tesla? Tesla owns one factory, which they bought used from Toyota. They have yet to demonstrate the ability to manufacture at anything approaching the scale of other, more affordable car brands. Catching up to Tesla's ability to produce cars will not be the problem if Apple decides to enter that market.

Windows 7 released in 2009, and MS will keep issuing security patches until 2020. They also responded to this on Friday/Saturday of Easter weekend.

There's not a whole lot you can blame MS for here, except for the bugs existing in the first place (which is all but inevitable given the size of the codebase and the amount of scrutiny under which various groups put it).
Was looking for same a couple of months ago and the latest 2017 Wordpress theme just came in handy for my own self-hosted blog at http://www.nukepep.com . I understand it is different from building it yourself but, in this case, the solution was just good enough to me and deal done. No fancy widgets, no comments, just pagination and short text posts.
Yup. More mental "shortcuts" that seek magic "signals" to avoid both evidence and pragmatic interviewing effort testing both business problem-solving critical thinking and cultural fit. There are no shortcuts. Furthermore, "competitive" programming has little to do with the real world, and it's more about showing off and ego inflation.

Ideas for personal projects that include ComputerVision/ML/AI and FPGA
Hi everyone I am a senior undergrad with decent experinece in low level programming, math , FPGA prototyping. I want to expand my skillset and it looks like the field of AI and ML specific hardware is one of great growth. Any pointers to projects relating to the above fields that I can implement on my own and learn a lot.
Complete and working. I haven't tested the load for real, but judging by the performance numbers it should be able to handle 100k connections fine with 2 beefy backend servers. (40% of one of my laptop's cores handles 15k connections with 400 edits per second. So about 8 cores should handle 100k users no sweat.) The bottleneck is fanout, so until kafka starts hitting subscribe limits it should scale linearly with frontend servers. (And kafka is a long way from hitting that limit because I've added write coalescing.)

I'll post a writeup about it all once I've eaten some real food and had a rest. But for now, enjoy!
Garbage Collection: in-depth handbook
Mac Pro represent may be 1% of Mac Sales, and in terms of volume it is likely to be a rounding error for Apple.

If this assumption is correct, I wonder why Apple doesn't make a high price but also high value machine. Aiming at Prosumers, Pro Gamers ( If they are still on Mac ) and Professionals. With starting price of $1299. The lowest config could have been done with AMD Zen 2 and non ECC Memory. And Scale up all the way to 32 Core Zen and 256GB ECC Memory. It fix the developer's need for a "Desktop" Machine to program the iPhone, or Web Development. And the years' of cry for just "Mac". And Something clearly the Mac mini shouldn't be aiming at.

I still believe there is at least another 5 - 10 years of life in Mac before we sunset it, and unless Apple will be moving to ARM Mac ( which i doubt they will ), there is no better time to bring some of these people into the Apple's ecosystem. Whether it is iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Hey, Did anyone get any views on founder or demo video?

Also will they interview all possible international candidates through skype first?
Why would they? The immediate concern is whether or not the exploits are still a risk, not determining the origin. Any future use of them is likely to be groups other than NSA at this point anyway.

If/when Microsoft do call out the NSA, I imagine it'll a) be filtered through their press/PR teams and b) be after they've had time to verify the source (it seem overwhelmingly likely to be NSA-originated, but I'd guess MS will do their own investigation and not just take it at face value).
I tried it again with the same result. From the same Copy/Paste, Notepad showed https://www.epic.com but Scite showed https://www.????.com/. This demonstrates that I have not copypasted the post-converted URL. Interestingly, pasting the fake address into HN comment box showed https://www.xn--e1awd7f.com/

Could it be that notepad now delegates the handling of Unicode to the OS. I tested the above on the latest official release, Windows 10 Creators Update.
I keep reading your response and it does not refute what OP is saying.
Please, what Dan and Scott are trying to do is promote civility. It's a hard and thankless job. It's your choice to make it harder or easier for them.

They agreed with you that the comment you were replying to was inappropriate; they just wanted you to be civil in pointing that out. If you look at their comment feeds, that's what they consistently and tirelessly do, regardless of the topic or ideology at hand.

I point out irony

... but you did it in a personally pointed and uncivil way. That's what matters here.

ridiculing every single college graduate

The comment was overheated and crass, but it didn't actually say that.

Why was his comment not detached

It was a root comment. Root comments can't get detached. But the comment is ranked low in the thread.

I think you and Scott need to re-evaluate your heavy-handed rules

From the guidelines and Dang and Scott's comment feeds, the rules are simple and reasonable: be civil. Even in response to incivility.

They seem perfectly happy for people to call out bad behaviour in others - hey it saves them from having to do it.

But they hate it when users go tit-for-tat and create a cascade of incivility, as it diminishes the community for everyone and makes their job harder.

They're even happy getting suggestions from the community, but again, be civil about it. Attacking them as being partly responsible for all the ills in tech culture is a bit much, given their long history of relentlessly and earnestly working to curtail incivility and bigotry in all its forms on this site.

But hey you got it right with this follow up comment:

maybe you shouldn't diminish every single person other than yourself...

That's very well said :)

But in all seriousness, you're getting outraged and taking things personally when it would just make things better for everyone if you could be a bit reflective and say "OK guys, fair cop, I'll try to do better next time".
