The point is that these are "back of the envelope" calculations.

Fermi was known for asking questions like "how many gold balls git into a suitcase". The point isn't to get a perfect answer. The point is to get a reasonable answer.

In this case, the point is to answer the OP question in laymans terms. Using not much more than reasonable assumptions, and grade 5 math.

Or, you can bike shed over details.
> Unless I really have to now, I'm avoiding Uber and driving myself to the airport. Uber has proven they don't care about passenger safety, and only care about profits.

You do that. Me and the tens of thousands other riders will continue to use Uber for airport trips despite owning a car. I just wanted to counter your antecdote with mine.
I'm from Boston, and I think it's most common to ask in distance, and answer in time. "How far is it?" "20 minutes." I'm a map geek and often answer in distance, which often prompts, "And about how far is that? Like 20 minutes?"
It's more secure, easier to audit, removes a hard dependency on ngrok, gives you a static IP that never changes and you get more flexibility (plus you can share the same box amongst all your dev team if you wanted - you'd just assign different port combos to each team member). In terms of maintenance, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade in a daily cron job is largely all you'd ever need...

Agree none of that may be worth it in your case. Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with ngrok in certain circumstances. The above is just an alternative approach with different trade-offs/benefits.
Can someone more familiar with embedded design explain a bit more on this? Can this really turn cheap motors into industrial level motors suitable for hobbyists?
I don't have an answer to that, but I have seen - and worked with - several codebases which work fine when compiled with -g, but will crash (in good cases) or behave irrationally (in bad cases) without.

The crashing ones at least are easy. Somewhere a list or variable-argument array is missing the NULL terminator...
I guess we should take a time and make a clearer terminology. The developer is the one who develops things. The coder/programmer is the one who writes code. There was a time when both terms were synonyms, but nowdays it is not true.
That's the french political spectrum, it's historical. To be honest very few people know what she would actually do if she got elected, even amongst her militants. She's a populist first and foremost.
I use the -subdomain argument for this available in the Pro version and it works perfectly.

No, only TV and radio. Internet and newspaper can say what they want. A lot of misunderstanding (or downright lies) about french laws and politics in this thread, take everything with a grain of salt.

I know the whole movement that got Trump elected started from this but at that time it was as far as I know not called alt-right (because I remember the thread on 4chan were they actually made it up).

Yes, the division between groups (pro/anti) created while gamergate was going on were about the same. On one side people calling for social justice on the other side the people that in a way are against social justice + the ones that did not want to choose a side.

At the beginning gamergate was just about ethics in journalism (mostly in gaming).

It's a design decision. Of course it could have been red or green but those colours simply don't look as good together with silver / metallic grey.
Snap! - I thought of this book immediately when I started reading that article. The sheer engineering innovation to salvage those huge quantities of steel is not dissimilar to the ingenuity shown towards the end of the book. Different materials, similar challenges to bring to the surface...

And you probably have one at the office, or you surely do at your hosting service or ... But if you really don't then a VPS with unlimited data is cheaper than ngrok basic plan - and a lot more useful.
Brushless motors are more expensive. There are open source drivers such as simonk and blheli and they are pretty popular in drone DIY world.
If giving people private offices was much cheaper you'd never in a million years see a company accept the increased cost of an open office just because "it's good for collaboration".

Were this testable, I'd absolutely take the other side of this bet. (Some) managers get too much satisfaction out of seeing their "doers" lined up and visibly working. And/or believe that watching one another makes people work harder. Open offices would happen, even at a premium.

Edit: actually, it kind-of is testable. If office costs were the biggest factor in how workers were deployed, we'd see far more remote work.

You can put people in boxes that stack on top of each other and then say "Our beautiful stacked-box office promotes a culture of deep thinking and solitude where you can re-gain your focus and stay away from constant distractions.".

Please tell me when you open one of these, I might be after a job!
The whole reason why I VPN into a box is that it has a static and publicly accessible IP address. Interesting that all the other alternatives proposed basically do the same thing. Point to an URL you control, and proxy traffic to where you want.

Other than that, this seems like a great mashup between Markdown and Vim. I'm leaning towards the Markdown side of things, but can definitely see myself overwriting new tab page with this tool and using it regularly, especially since it stores the data locally by default.

ownCloud / Nextcloud sync would definitely be the feature that would make me use this tool all the time.
Why it’s safer to store data in the cloud
Witness intimidation. If the journalist worked just a little harder he would have found the DA or judge obtained something from someone as a bribe. The vast majority of the time, punishing the victim results in the desired outcome and the defendant gets away with it.

Someone has enough power to use "the system" to destroy my life because I saw something, of course I'll testify that sure I was there but I was scared so I didn't get a good look. I have a spouse and kids and not enough life insurance.

Its pretty funny the discussion here in general is not about casual corruption which is almost certainly the problem but instead is wandering into weird ranting about how bad it is or surely its all Trumps fault...
> I'm surprised actually, I doubt brigading hacker news is going to have a lot of weight in the outcome of the french election...

It's about all they have left :)

There's a law in France saying that media can't discuss campaign anymore two days from election, the idea being that debate time is over and it's now time for each citizen to take a step back from the heat of the campaign and calmly decide what they think is the best for the country (this is obviously something that doesn't work as well now we have internet). So far right activists only have foreign discussion threads as a mean to spread.
Which it completely is, if you want to design a modern engine.

If you want to have an engine with 60s power, weight and fuel economy, then sure you don't need to know the science behind it. Just throw some parts together, and you'll get something that works.

That's is exactly how I used it too: develop locally, but expose it to a payment provider's webhook call through ngrok. It's very convenient, and has the added advantage that you can replay the webhook call without going through the entire process at the payment provider.
In the United States where Google and Facebook are based, internships are restricted to students. Everywhere, internships can provide a professional network that is useful throughout a person's career. The article describes the author's window of opportunity prior to conscription.

In the large it suggests aspects of Google's and Facebook's corporate cultures that may limit the opportunities of candidates from less normative backgrounds.

It is unfortunate that the author views the outcome as their failure despite Google and Facebook more or less pre-ordaining the outcome.
Software plays a big role in making this more efficient at a huge scale. Point-of-sale / inventory / logistics systems enable the supply chain to make better use of all this free choice.
Most of the french political landscape isn't anti-russian to begin with. Hollande stance on Russia was an exception. As for whether the Russians did it or not, there is absolutely no proof of it.
All of them did care about their job equally. To care - is to do your best, to be passionate is to do more than you can.
As far as I know that term was made up a short time after alt-right (luckily it did not get as popular):

You're saying that as if blogs and corporate websites weren't a humongous proportion of the internet.

And no, there's some pretty big, modern sites like Mailchimp which run on PHP.

There's literally no reason to use Node if you already have an effective backend with PHP because Node doesn't really bring anything new on the table, but it does bring along its own class of issues.
The title of this submission makes it sound like a selling-fridges-to-eskimos scam product - you need to read quite a bit to find out what's it actually about and that it solves (or simplifies) an actual use-case.

I think a better comparision is with DynDNS services: It sets up a public host connected to your own machine - but unlike DynDNS, the host doesn't point to your machine's IP directly. Instead, requests are routed through a proxy/tunnel, so your machine can be kept behind a firewall and is only available through the public host.

(I figure, the proxy allows for some more neat tricks, such as restricting ports/urls/etc or holding requests open while your machine changes IPs.)
Judging by my kids and their friends, teens and younger are not using Facebook apps, they are using Snapchat.
Most of the time I find that the lib's github's README.md contains the introduction and overview that I want to understand how the library works. Unfortunately it's not in the docs themselves, but I hear that the Rust team is working on improving that.

See for instance the "image" crate docs: https://docs.rs/image/0.13.0/image/

A simple API doc, I don't know where to start. But then if I go to the repo I find a nice intro with some example code: https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/image/blob/master/README...
Well that's certainly an interesting example - that website uses the word "car" in every instance except the domain name.

I think as a usage it's regarded as vaguely old fashioned and twee.

For comparison here's https://www.mobiles.co.uk/ - again, in every instance the noun is either "phone" or the fully qualified "mobile phone".
Gamergate was never about ethics in journalism(games reviews being journalism is a whole other thing, but, cmon). It was about being mad because you were undersexed and lonely, and someone offering you a way to channel that desperation into misogyny and a false feeling of control* and community*.
In China, the most important layer of the mobile software stack is WeChat, not the operating system.

If true, then the next "killer app" is already here. Connie Chan's 2015 article lays out a very convincing case for this claim (http://a16z.com/2015/08/06/wechat-china-mobile-first/). WeChat, or something like it, will soon spread to other markets. Surely, Apple executives understand this and are busy working on an Apple equivalent.

If you're proposing SSH tunnels as an alternative, where am I SSHing to? I need a publicly accessible remote box. So I'll need to set that up, then set up an SSH tunnel. Or, install a CLI tool and learn one command.

Haha I wish I was just crazy. I agree that it sounds unlikely. I also understand the temptation you express: to live in a world where the simplest and most easy-to-live-with answer is the right one: Ian Murdock "just snapped and went crazy." Snowden "just snapped and turned against his nation." "Poor minorities resort to violence to solve problems, employed upper-middle class don't ever engage that sort of thing." We don't like to live with uncomfortable truths. Unfortunately for me, I never did anything of such significance to humanity as those two--so reasonable and inquisitive minds will be relatively unlikely to look at my situation in detail.

Anyways there's a lot more to the story. I had a pretty bad reputation due to getting made a scapegoat for some things that werent my fault. I stood my ground which blew up in my face as multiple higher-ups doubled down. So I quit and their response was to close to doubled my salary, gave me a promotion, an apology, and lots of nice perks like use of a company apartment, expenses paid, etc, and asked I please just forget it ever happened. It's a long story and I could have made my life a lot easier if I just kept my head low, blended in and shut up.

Most of the ships are final resting places for the crew that went down with them. You don't disturb them for personal economic gain. Just like you don't steal a 100 year old stone from a graveyard.
Well sure, but eventually you'd get kicked out of the house and have to go outside, away from TV. Now TV is in your pocket, wherever you go. They can kick today's kids out of the house, they go to the nearest spot out of sight and....watch ads all day.

From what I saw, "alt-right" had existed for a whole in blogs and webzines, but it really became popular during the Republican primaries.

The Trump and (early on) Carson supporters needed a term to distinguish themselves from the established Republican base, consisting largely of neocons and evangelicals, with their rather different ideological concerns. "Alt-right" offered the vaguely young/edgy and sans-culottesque character they needed.

The Great Salt Lake's Mercury Mystery
Random advice from the internet:

Get a full time job and build your professional network and learn from more experienced people and gain experience within a business. Doing what you are doing now is not growing. And since you will be doing less than you are doing now because you will not be in school, it might even be the opposite of growing.

Keep in mind, zero hour contracts have a low net present value. 6/hrs per day should be discounted by the probability that the contract is gone in two months...perhaps without warning and perhaps without final payment.

And companies that contract with students often
replace graduating students with current students
because their practice is Using Student Contractors.

Finally, it makes sense to look at employment opportunities beyond your partner in the current contract. That may vastly increase your professional network, opportunities to learn, and your diversity of business experience.

Good luck.
People use them because that's what everyone else uses. With a social network, that's kind of the point.

And for whatever reason, most people don't care that much about the things you listed as big dangers.
1. The argument for constant overproduction, and non-availability of a real free market is called: starvation. If to many farmers give up, and speculants on futures can hold grain back, people starve. Has happened several times.
One could argue, that this has positive outcomes as well- ideologues are less energetic on a purely capitalistic diet.
PS: Because there is always a counter example that markets could work- here is one:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Norton

2. That example is one of a working market yes. But as you can see in medicine for rare diseases, no, not everybody gets a chance to buy what they need. In a pure free market, you have to pray for a rich person to get the same exotic sickness as you, to get help.

3. Yes, but the result of those wrong micro-judgments, piles via insurance upon society. Or its getting paid by having horrendous security payments, to keep those struck with the avalanche of their bad decisions, becoming poor from taking whats yours (The US approach).

4. Invisible effects, which i stated a nice example and you in intellectual dishonesty submitted, include very small accumulating negative effects or negative effects on the allmende, which come back later.

5. No, the food czar can be gambled too. I heard from some colleagues how in factory bakery's, when the health inspector arrives, clothing is adjusted and other violating points are "fixed" for the time of the inspection.
But there is room for improvement there.
In a free market, if all bakers just agree on the lowest common level of product, they churn out health bomb after health bomb and nothing happens to them. At which point i presume you would point to the jurisdiction of the nightwatch state- which by virtue of the free market could be bribed out of existence.

My perfect ideal is not very perfect, its just a acknowledge that there must be machinery that reigns in corroding elements, while leaving the positive aspects of the market largely intact.

I will leave you with the nice results a free market has created, and which you will hail as a great opportunity to sell health apps and bypass surgery.

Bitrise is a Continuous Integration and Delivery platform focusing on mobile development. We help developers to automate their every-day tasks so they can go back to building great apps and have more time for their ideas. We'd like to create an ecosystem for software developers which they can use to build, test and distribute their apps in a way that it feels natural and fun. We take being open very seriously and we love to automate everything!

We'll soon update our jobs site ( https://www.bitrise.io/job ), looking for right now:

- Web Dev (both front & backend positions, Senior & Junior too)

- Tooling: work on our open source tools which make Bitrise awesome ( https://www.bitrise.io/cli )

- Developer Experience (DX) Engineer

- Infra Engineer

And a lot more.
If you're interested in working for a YC company in Europe, feel free to ping us, there's always a place for great devs in our team ;)
If you translate them to commands for a FPS (e.g. Quake), one would be strafing in one direction and the other is firing continuously while spinning in a circle. Both seem apt.

i hate sites that autoplay video, especially if there's audio involved. How difficult is it to make it only play when the play button is pressed?
This is silly.

The problem with creating "rock bottom prices" is it only works when one company has a monopoly over something. Even so, usually there is a reason why a company has a high price. A lot of the time people under-estimate what it really costs to offer a service, and as such think that the prices are not justified.

But hey, what do I know, give it a go and see what happens. I think you'll have a good time.
This is true, but in the same way as this:

"Anyone can be physically fit. Everything you need to know about diet and exercise is freely available."

In education as in fitness it often helps to have a guiding hand.
It reminds me more of Anathem, where ruins of cities dot the landscape and are consumed by rolling factories when economic conditions dictate.
If many were to change to email based auth the chances of any leaked (accidentally sent, tricked into forwarding etc) email containing sensitive info would go up significantly. E.g. any mail from medium.com has a very high probability of containing login info.

Second, increased roi makes mail servers more of a target.
I agree. I think it would be best to legalize this sort of salvage operation. It's kind of cool that anyone can make this sort of operation pay. More power to them.

One issue that does deserve some attention is what should be done to any human remains in the wrecks. But if the salvage operations themselves were legal, so the recovery operations didn't have to operate on the sly, it should be possible to get them to obey minimal standards of decency.

The governments that owns the vessels should also get a cut.
I'm on a cell phone, so I'll be brief, but can add more detail later. I've been doing motor drivers and embedded work (software and electronics) for robotics for a while, and did work on motor driver ICs before that, so this is kind of my wheelhouse!
Briefly: I can tell you that the electronics and software are only a few parts of the overall equation here.

Yes, this does look like (from the demo video results), a decent driver design, however quality of the motor DOES matter, and will eventually become a limiting factor if you are lookig for high precision or high power, as you start to run into things like torque digging, motor heating, etc. There are also little things in the driver design that can bite you if you aren't careful, but I'd need to look at the schematics to comment.

I'm not trying to crap on the project or designer. There was clearly some thought and care put into this! I just don't want people to expect magic, or to think that the only difference between an industrial servo and a hobbyist motor is the electronics. That said, you can get VERY far with good electronics and control software!

A hobbyist project will probably do just fine with something like this (or a motor driver reference design from the chip manufacturers), and by the time they run into limits of those designs and hobbyist motors, they'll probably have a pretty good idea of where they need to go as a next step!

I'll take a closer look at this design later, and update if anyone is interested.
Eh, we loot people's tombs and put their grave goods in museums all the time. It's essentially the entire business model of the field of archaeology.

The only difference is the amount of time that has passed.
