I see your point. However, these are the lawyers of the party that sold their consumers the license to play the game. Remember, you don't actually own the game. You own a license to play the game on the medium you purchased. If the company that sold you the license also says that copying the game to a different medium and playing it there is not part of the original license, they kind of are allowed to say that.

Note: I'm not saying I like it! I'm just saying it is the way it is.

>AThe more I read about the Romans' organizational structure and logistics the more impressed I am, they somehow look like an alien species.

Yep, sometimes I wonder what society would look like today if the (western) Roman empire had never collapsed, and they had somehow been able to correct its fatal flaws in time. Europe basically did nothing for 1000 years.
I forget where I heard or read this but for something like millions of years wood and other plant materials was not broken down by anything at all as there were no animals to eat away at them.
Twitter, Facebook, Kik, Snapchat. Much easier for teens to organize en masse this way than texting, and afaik no American teen uses WhatsApp.
Yeah agreed. This react dev seems incredibly petty and even worse makes it seem like they just won't take community feedback.

I've never used React (but have considered it) and this post just really turns me off from even bothering.
How? Gut feel? The laws we have today are inadequate to bringing cases, and we have a Constitutional prohibition on ex post facto laws.
This is why I didn't and never will trust 3rd parties products/services getting accessed to my inbox and reading my emails wholesale in order to mine data or provide value.

Paribus is another of such services that I am aware that require you open your inbox access to them (the pull model).

There is nothing wrong with reading your emails with your explicit consent but I believe a push model like TripIt/Kayak's previous push model (send email receipts to trips@tripit/kayak.com) is a safer way to avoid privacy being violated and abused.
I don't use this forum with the intent to spread such persistent truths as that gay acts are gravely sinful or that human life possesses inherent dignity (something that popped up a few times as well). However, I do and will proclaim and defend truth provided I see a need. I hope to do this to the benefit of any readers, not simply to counter. To this end, and because of the importance, I hope never to let myself be pressured into desisting regardless of how unpopular it may become to resist.

There is no parole in the federal system. 27 years will mean almost 27 years (maybe something closer to 23 if everything breaks Seleznev's way in prison).

A bacteria making an enzyme that allows it to gain nutrition from plastic would certainly be an interesting problem for humanity. I cannot say if it would be doomsday level or a minor inconvenience, but neither can easily be disregarded because there is no precedent.

Wood is not a good example because nature has had nearly a billion years to figure out an efficient way to reclaim the energy in wood and the closest it got is slow fungal process. This is why when we make wood structures we paint them or treat the wood with fungicides.

This guy is a scumbag and a criminal but he defrauded banks and card networks, and those banks and networks attempted to pass that liability onto their customers. It's an important distinction.

It's not a flaw, but you certainly are making it sound like a requirement.

To be fair, I haven't had a single case of fraudulent withdrawals happen to me. But I'm curious why would a credit card transaction be more protected? It's the same purchase 'in obligation', isn't it? My checking account balance is way smaller compared to much larger credit card limits, so there is less risk in absolute terms.

I get it. I just think Gruber is a hypocrite. Wasn't long ago he was invited to an Apple meeting so he could then write a blog post shilling for them.

The boundaries broken are not comparable, but I just don't feel that Gruber has any moral high ground to stand on because of his affiliation with members in the industry.

In addition, it's not like we haven't seen this act before with company CEO's. This sort of thing happens all of the time, and in every industry. He's a smart guy, but his post seems overly-reactionary.

I am less bothered by the CEO's comment than by their monetization strategy, but then again, I don't really see the need for the product in the first place.
Fabrice Bellward is 45, John Carmack is 46. Michael Abrash is probably in his mid-50's. Rob Pike, Guido Von Rossum, and Larry Wall are all still programming and they're in their 60's.

I think it's safe to say you won't magically lose your programming ability as you get older.
Or perhaps they are less likely to create an account.
But sadly not uncommon. If you have a lot of money you can induce people who want or need money to act against their better judgement. It works even better if you have some way of threatening their lifestyle and is standard trade craft for intelligence agencies trying to develop assets.
In what sense? The law does not much care how poorly the banks and card networks secured or underwrote their services; it cares mostly about the person who had the intent to defraud and harm people, and then carried that intent to fruition.

It's better for the environment to bury wood unburnt. Burning it will release carbon back into the atmosphere. Burying the tree will re-sequester the carbon.

As for grinding it, that's a question of whether the space saved by grinding up the wood is worth it versus just digging/finding a bigger hole.
I have been volunteering on and off for some years in shelters, local ONG active in environmental field.

I can't say it helped me grow personally but it sets me apart in some conversation. It's more like a badge of honour or some cheap way to get recognition from my peers and others. Quite sad but that's not why I entered volunteering anyway :).
Are they required to work there, what's stopping them from finding a new job?
In the general case, this a big pain point for me. Having to wade through tons of shallow subjective "Well I like it" disguised as objective technical points can be very fustrating, especially when trying to learn something new and unfamiliar, such as my next major language or framework to learn or use.

Using the hype of yesterday to vaccinate against hyperitis of tomorrow? That sounds like meme-medicine.
I think the key problem was the hype train and the lack of product-oriented/technical leadership.

remembered them doing very well on campus last two years of college. They had on campus reps to hand out "schwag"; probably not very fun to scale. The obvious bullying was the problem. If they had found some way to solve that and snuck their way back into high schools...

then again, kids can be so cruel.
How does jurisdiction work in a case like this? He presumably never set foot in the US so how does the law claim jurisdiction for the crime? If someone uses telephones to defraud US citizens in a similar way, ie remotely, do the same jurisdiction rules apply? How about selling fraudulent goods in the US shipped in from abroad?

I didn't mean it as a source of commentary on the matter. I meant it as a statement on the legality of making copies from the company that sold the licenses for playing the games to the general public.
This "you have no rights but what we decide you have" view of ownership is what Nintendo would like you to think, but it's untrue in varying degrees depending on jurisdiction.

Listen, it can be horrible and wonderful at the same time.
I think for certain roles it absolutely is a requirement. If a web or backend software developer insisted that they refused to use Stack Overflow I don't think they'd make a good employee. It sounds like they're letting ideological hangups and tradition override practicality.

It's nice someone cares about performance in modern websites. Shame about the BBC being no better than any other clickbait website as far as news goes. Truly, my licence fee well spent.

I never understood that. Surely, since you're already paid for you could just report the news and not bother with clickbait since you're not getting paid for the clicks?
I try not to kill flies, no. The only exception is for multiple flies that won't go away. Ditto for ants.

That said, doing it for science at least has a justification.
I don't think it was meant that the government should lock it away, but rather that people using such toxins for legitimate purposes should take basic precautions.

Mmm... not sure about apps specifically built with CRA. I do have a list of a few selected interesting-looking apps built with Redux (and React) in my Redux ecosystem catalog [0] . Haven't updated that section in a while, though, and it's definitely not comprehensive, but there's a useful variety of apps to look at.

I personally am using Semantic-UI-React [1] in a work project, as well as in the sample app for my "Practical Redux" tutorial series [2] [3]. I also frequently recommend a tutorial series called "Building a Simple CRUD App with React + Redux" [4] as another "real-world" tutorial/example. That tutorial doesn't use CRA, but my "Practical Redux" sample app does.

Absolutely! This is a great mindset. Many successful people advise this. One example is Tony Robbins. Any ideas on what prevents more people from trying it out?
> we don't think size in raw lines of code is the most important metric in the code

I've read this claim from FB before (Pete Hunt I think). It's not possible to overstate my disagreement.

I guess if you want to say, 'people in general can't program, but they can plumb things together, and once they learn the conventions the boilerplate becomes transparent', I wouldn't argue. But you haven't said it, and it's not a direction I think is so great for software.

In the future we want one-line applications, right? "Siri, create a calendar app with conflict resolution for the local Owl's club." Not four pages of "Siri, open angle-bracket props colon..."[1]

Re. Vue, I'm sorry I mentioned it. I don't have a horse in the race. However if I did I would definitely have taken the time to try Vue by now. And likewise Guarini, if this is really his first time trying React, has not done basic due diligence by waiting this long.

We can't improve as a field unless we compare results. That TodoMVC is the only benchmark that even exists is unfortunate.

ConceptNet Numberbatch 17.04: better, less-stereotyped word vectors
Letter to Sacramento Autonomous Vehicle Regulators (CA DMV)
Here is a weird example of where I'm going to be the one saying this sentence is too long, while lots of HN people will be saying this is finally(!) an example of someone who actually deserves a harsh sentence.

Not because Seleznev merits any sympathy. He does not. Moreover, he's part of a class of people who I think deserve the very least amount of empathy in our public policy (people with ability and opportunities who weren't forced by circumstance into crime, but pursued it out of vanity and avarice).

Rather, the problem is that 27 years doesn't accomplish anything that 5 years wouldn't. Presuming that the result of this conviction is that the USG can effectively claw back much of the proceeds of the crimes, then 5 years would presumably have the same retributive and deterrent effects.

Our sentences are too long across the board.

Optane menory is a really nice solution for write-back caches to slow HDDs (e.g. ZFS Slog, bcache, ...). Or a cache for often-requested HDD blocks which didn't fit anymore to RAM (ZFS L2ARC).
> Personally (and I realize this goes against a lot of the HN values here), I'd like to see some form of reduced benefit paid out if people are already earning income.

We do that without complicating benefit calculation by way of income taxes. It might be desirable to redirect the additional income tax resulting from that policy back into the OAS trust fund rather than the general fund, though.

I want to agree with this, but I'm not certain how I would act if I knew my options where a) continue weaponisation research or b) get shot in the face.
Online credit card fraud is paid for by merchant sellers...not banks or credit card companies. The banks and CC companies make money from the fraud, assuming the charge back fees they levy exceed their internal costs. At least in the US.
As xoa pointed out, it's very well suited for use as a persistent cache.
isnt this all just an artifact of the exploding popularity being in the 90's?
Very interesting. So it seems like a craft/vehicle such as this can get away with flying in congested areas because of it's maneuverability. What's more, we have a helipad on my building at ground level! And we happen to be on the water! I wonder if I could actually pull this off at some point in the future where I fly over the water and land directly on the helipad. Would need a place to keep the craft, though.
It's still a weight problem. Gas engines and generators are heavy. You also have to add a capacitor system to handle spikes in demand for sudden maneuvers or stabilization jumps in electric demands.

Increasing the weight increases the engine & prop size, which increases your energy needs.

EDIT: From the few multirotors with a gas engine that I've seen, the right combination of weight - maneuverability sweet spot appears to be around the 750mm size - around 2 feet in diameter. They also tend to have good flight times, but still in the sub-one hour range. Again due to weight.
Let's hope you never find out.
Actually, with my locks, the weakest would be someone getting a key. Second weakest would be either the $400 bolt cutters, or very noisy actions with angle grinders.

(There's also the forced/destructive vs. covert vs. surreptitious entry issue. Someone entering without leaving a trace and without making a sound is far more concerning than someone breaking out an angle grinder and grinding away for 5 minutes on video with an alarm going off.)

Maybe? I'm not sufficiently familiar with either one to state that they would be appropriate. I haven't progressed beyond "Hello world" in both. If they support manual memory management and pointers (I seem to remember Go having pointers and Rust being a C/C++ replacement should have them) they may be decent candidates also.
Unfortunately, you just described most of the tech blog posts posted on HN/elsewhere. It's a very big problem :-(
That's an interesting way to read it.

To me it says more along the lines of: we know that media gets a lot of marketing through word of mouth, which affiliate links promote, but for apps, they usually spread though being useful, so we don't think we'll loose a lot of money but cutting off the "word of mouth" marketing channel for apps.

Lol, I totally called this.
I agree with this, with a caveat. Some banks will allow you to create a 'prefunded' debit card, where you add funds to it and those are the only funds it has available. It has no overdraft, it has no ability to acquire any funds other than those allocated. Those cards are quite useful for risky places because you can use them and then burn them after you're back in safety. (just withdraw the final balance and destroy the card)

Oddly, the first experience I had with fraudulent card withdrawals was when the cards were compromised in the self checkout line of the Sunnyvale Safeway store. The self checkout stations had internal skimmers installed at some point.
In California, where this took place, we're allowed to have 30 round magazines for a few more months. Even if he only had 10 round magazines, reloading really doesn't take that long (even with a bullet button)
The Chief Justice of the Canadian Supreme Court agrees with you regarding the "sending a message" sentiment. But the other eight justices disagreed. Personally I think it's unsupportable too.

For example the first guy to commit that crime gets the full "sending a message" sentence but the following violators just get the standard "proportional justice" sentence? Not sure King Solomon would go for that.
Higher end key systems generally involve "code cutting" for making good duplicates, not merely copying.
Well, some insects represent a genuine threat to food supplies and the spread of disease.

I don't really follow where you're going with the dog example. What kind of comparison is that supposed to be?

Edit to add: Even ants produce antibiotics that they groom on to their bodies to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungus on themselves and inside their nests. So I'm going to continue to swat flies and not lose any sleep over it.

I'm sorry this is the impression my post has left for you. Could you clarify which parts you see as petty so I could further work on them?

I thought it was important to clarify the factual mistakes (such as the misconception about React rewrite), as these tend to keep spreading once they're mentioned in a few articles.

But I see now that I might have chosen the wrong venue and format to address them, as framing it as a response makes it seem personal. That wasn't my intention.
There was interesting segment on NPR discussing paper recycling. Most of our paper comes from tree farms and because of the lack of demand of paper these tree farms are converting to farming other crops which are lot less environmentally and wildlife friendly.
If I say you are legally obligated to give me $100 if you read my comments, and link to the comment where I said it as proof that you're obligated, will you believe you're obligated to give me $100? I own the copyright on my writings, after all.

Copyright holders are not gods. The idea that their word is gospel is patently false. And in the specific case of Nintendo, they are even less reliable then most in terms of accurately communicating your rights to you. Nintendo have very little respect for copyright law as it actually exists, and instead try to assert whatever rights they wish they had and hope nobody fights them on it.
If I understand correctly, the idea is they're dissolving the plastic into different chemicals which presumably don't have the toxic qualities that make plastic so concerning.
Putting aside the question of what reality the 13% statistic in this survey might be representative of... When one looks at how much this industry has grown since today's 40 year-olds entered the job market, my surprise at the 13% number is at how high it is, not how low.

@everyone - If you cannot help, I dont need your sarcasm.

@smt88 - well said and every entrepreneur knows this goal. However in order to make a sustainable business, it needs initial capital and marketing investment to be able to reach a critical mass. Without that, the product will not have enough usage to go beyond its current state.

I did not apply to YC for investment, it was for the network they brought with them. They could connect me with growth hackers who can get the marketing done with smaller budget. Their mentorship would have been beneficial to take the business to next level.

I can get loan from the bank, but that does not mean its valuable.
