Intel patches remote hijacking vulnerability that lurked in chips for 7 years
I think they may be benefiting from the fitness device trend in a somewhat unexpected way: everyone is getting used to wearing an ugly-looking wrist device, or seeing them on other people, so the fashion barrier is not as steep as it was a couple of years ago. My original thought about the watch was that it was going to need to get smaller and a lot better-looking before it really caught on, but maybe not...
$999 would be fine if it had Windows 10 Pro onboard. Then you're talking about a full Macbook Air competitor.

But once you notice Windows 10 S, then the price is unusual. I bet the hardware team is disappointed by that decision for this machine. It doesn't make sense.

And free updates until 2018 doesn't help tbh.
And yet, if you're not really planning on selling the techniques you find on the open market could you save yourself a lot of time by ignoring the FDA?

Second hand experience. My father owned and operated a small tv + ISP (cable when I was young, Internet by the time I was in middle school), and my uncle still operates his. Both have or had ~50k subscribers. My father sold his system to Comcast and worked for them for a while before quitting, frustrated by inefficiencies and dissatisfied customers, and his experience is the reason my Uncle is holding out from selling.

That may have been true 50 years ago, but it wasn't true 80 years ago, and I have my doubts about before that. Unfortunately I haven't known too many people old enough to have been keen observers of eating habits a century ago...
This comment proves the entire point of the post. The Gnosis token is currently trading at more than 3x what it sold for during the pre-sale. It has gained in value A LOT, and people don't even realize that Gnosis is a success story. The price hasn't been cut at all.

The originally advertised $300M valuation included the dev tokens. The $100M you reference does not. To compare to the dev tokens, check this chart (putting the current full valuation at $960M):

What do you mean? Browsers do serialise the actual DOM.

I know this because I once saved a JS-heavy page and when I loaded it back into the browser, I discovered the JS-generated menus were already present in the source and were re-generated by the JS each time the page loaded.
People can handle it better or worse, but honestly I think it's just a hard situation with no perfect answers. You're basically proposing adding process to manage the velocity of change.

A common situation, for example – some small bug is assigned to a less productive member of the team. The fast developer has to touch that area of the code for some other (often more critical) change. The fast developer sees the bug and just fixes it, or perhaps invalidates the need for that bug fix. Now the less productive member has their work undone. Claiming territory would slow down the fast developer, and also is demotivating for people who are motivated by increased code and product quality and want to bring that attitude to every bit of code they touch. You can run a smallish team with widespread improvements if you are in a situation where turnaround is fast. We're not going to run into too many conflicts if each of us finish our work and get it merged on a daily basis. But then you have that one person who takes a week on a change, and it doesn't go so well. Unless you put them in some codebase ghetto, where changes won't conflict because no one actually cares about the output.

How do you manage multiple kinds of vehicles on the road? Speed limits? Minimum speeds? Passing lanes? Semaphores? There's no one right answer, and all the answers are wrong from some perspective.

Even their main windows OS has/had virtualization disabled IIRC without getting their business pro or whatever edition (it's been more than a few years). It was simply a matter of trying to get you to pay more for cool stuff.

Well, I didn't.
As an engineer working in silicon valley, I have definitely seen a lower bar for female engineers interviews because companies are trying to catch up on the gender divide in their company.
You can land a job almost everywhere with almost no knowledge if you are a jr female developer, which is not true for men.
It is also true that there is a bias in the industry, but I don't think this approach is helping at all, if nothing people think women deserve it even less...
I believe men and women are equal in terms of capabilities and skills, but giving away jobs to a minority (women in this case) isn't the right way to make them gain the respect they deserve or block/control the bias against them.
Last call for passenger RikNieu! x86/x64 Inyel CPUs can run Ubuntu.

Also, after you upgrade it to Windows Pro free until end of 2017, $50 afterwards) you can run Ubuntu in a VM, or natively using the miracle that is WSL.

So 3 ways this can run Ubuntu, each with it's own cost/benefit balance.

Butterick’s Practical Typography recommends a body-text size of 15–25 pixels.

To be fair, all code bases tend to be horrifying legacy systems if you wait long enough, and "long enough" is pretty much always shorter than the amount of time you'd want the system to still be in use.
HN has collapsable threads and uses tables for layout, which aren't exactly efficient markdown, so makes the opposite point you're trying to make.

Namely, even with bloody awful markdown, HN still delivers 1000 comments in 1/4 of the bytes.

Another interesting idea, as almost everyone doesn't actually comment, wouldn't it make more sense to load the editor javascript dynamically? As far as I know, the silent majority read comments but never reply. In fact, I vaguely remember Jeff even having a blog post that most people never participate, they just consume (could be wrong!).

Also, I haven't kept up with it, but mobile browsers used to have fairly aggressive cache invalidation to save space on the phone, so serving big chunks of JavaScript in the hope it might get reused one day wasn't actually a great idea.
Google Drive is only free for three years? That's news to me. I'm quite certain I've been a user for 4+ years (since its release).

I don't own a Chromebook though. Maybe that would change things.
How does that make for a reliable exam? In the real world you use the internet all the time. The exam should be about your skills, and using information sources like the internet should be one of them. It's not like you can 'download' a perfect answer to a programming exam online, and if you can, then you deserve a medal because you'll be able to build applications faster than everyone else.

My father was born in China in 1940 and he refuses to eat raw food like sushi. He isn't particularly hygenic when it comes to food preparation​ (defrosts meat in the sink, flies are not a huge concern) but cooks everything well done.
WhatsApp launched at a time when SMS was a paid feature in Europe. It's pretty rare to have such a massive virality in your product. Not only is there a large network effect, your competitor is also charging a large amount compared to your free and superior product.
Oh I understand the style, I just think it's backwards. The whole point of CSS is to move the styling out of the markup, and this obviously fails atrociously in that regard.

Each class is one CSS property, where it would be literally less verbose to just inline them. It's exactly the same thing as doing style="prop: value; prop: value;" since to change a given area of text from grey to black you'd have to edit every single element the same way.
C'mon, just let users change the text size. The web is there for the viewers, not the transmitters!

And yes, if my pressing command-+ fucks up your display that's your problem and makes me far more likely to close the tab.
The big original reason patents came into existence was to reduce the number of trade secrets - an obvious block to progress; by ensuring that more inventions would enter the public domain (which was once rare and much tech was lost as a result, or very local.) See the history of forceps. Secondarily, as with copyright, you are rewarding the task of creativity. So, can you extend this first principle to software? Only if the software could operate in "a cloud" far from the user and therefore never be reverse engineered... which, oops, is exactly where we are. If there are no software patents, don't think that will mean that everyone gets to use the newest and greatest algorithms, it's more likely to mean that they will remain very private property that nobody else can build on top of. That situation could take us back centuries.
The data here is only for large companies. I happen to know what a couple of medium-sized quantitative trading firms (Jane Street and DE Shaw) pay interns, and it's meaningfully higher (10–12k/month), although it might even out if you consider the housing allowance Facebook et al provide.
Because it's usually the drug consumer him/herself who decides what to buy and consume - and given that most of the drug sellers apparently don't cut their products with weird stuff from rat dung to lead, fentanyl or other stuff that sometimes causes dozens of ODs (fentanyl-contaminated heroin batches are well known for this, and a plague for ERs because the victims always come in a bunch) one might argue that clean, vetted drugs via TOR/Silk Road are better for society than if the users would hit the streets. Also, drugs bought on the streets directly finance the street mafia and contribute to gang violence, as well as negative reputation for the "dealer city quarters". Internet drug shopping kills off this part of the chain totally.

Child porn is just ... inexcusable no matter how you think about it. Fine, if some porn stars make themselves look young, okay, but that's consenting adult performers. Abusing Toddlers and children for porn is not just violent in itself, it literally creates wrecks.
I believe that Lincoln Labs was intentionally setup separately because MIT pledged not to do any weapons/defense related research. We have something similar with Georgia Tech and GTRI, but probably not for the same reason.
"everyone is right, and everyone is wrong" -- I know you didn't mean it literally as contradiction but probably expressing moral relativism - which could be a very difficult claim to support.

There certainly are objective 'right way' and grand plans of actions. As for the plans of action, they are almost never economical thus ignored.
> GUNS, ATVs, tractors, snowmobiles, boats, bikes, GUNS, hunting and fishing gear, GUNS

I'm curious why the emphasis on guns... Have you looked at the relative prices of these "toys"? You can buy a helluva an arsenal for the price of one ATV or tractor or snowmobile or boat or motorcycle. Shooting shit is actually one of the cheaper recreational pastimes in rural areas, especially now that the run on .22 LR ammunition is pretty much over.
It's all manual memory management in the FFI layer, driven by the semantics of the type expressions. The type expression syntax is compiled to a tree of objects. Those objects are walked before and after a FFI call to do the right actions related to memory management, encoding and decoding. Any temporary buffers needed by FFI are cleaned up by it. The Lisp objects going in and out are stock Lisp objects without any special memory management related to FFI.
I suspect it was because the author thought the key used to connect could uniquely identify that browser, or that keys are somehow reused across sites?

> The things that makes TOR useful for people avoiding prosecution also makes it useful for people involved in malicious and criminal activities ... Everything from spam and network attacks to trafficking people and contraband.

> Although the Tor Project could promote options to restrict these malicious actions, they choose to do nothing. Seriously: if a TOR hidden service offers hard-core drugs or human trafficking or fake IDs, then they should be shut down.

I hope I can convince some folks here to be skeptical of this kind of thinking.

Think about it: If the Tor project came up with some clever way to take down bad hidden services, then what would be stopping a government from forcing them to take down legitimate hidden services too? And meanwhile, the criminals would move on to some other Tor-like service, and keep doing their thing.

In short, you're not going to stop criminals, who will always find a way to keep doing what they're doing. You will, on the other hand, impede the free speech of honest users.

The Tor project should focus on making it impossible for hidden services to be taken down--even by the Tor project itself! And they do :)
I do not believe this statement to be true.

The privacy notice provided by Google for their G Suite for Education is available here: https://gsuite.google.com/terms/education_privacy.html

It clearly states "Google does not serve ads in the Core Services or use personal information collected in the Core Services for advertising purposes."

Is the evidence that indicates this is not true? Is this in relation to non-core services that school administrators may opt into?

This little bookmarklet [1] takes care of those fixed position items nicely:

javascript: (function%20()%20{var%20i,elements=document.querySelectorAll('body%20*');%20for%20(i=0;i<elements.length;i++)%20{if%20(getComputedStyle(elements[i]).position==='fixed'%20||%20getComputedStyle(elements[i]).position==='sticky')%20{elements[i].parentNode.removeChild(elements[i]);}}})();

Anything on the page styled as position: fixed or position: sticky is deleted. Cleans those things right up.

putting a max-width of ~100 characters on your article text increases the readability considerably. it's not just to leave space for advertising.
Beef and pork are significantly worse than seafood in terms of environmental impact. There's nothing to celebrate in the sources of American protein.

If America was as hungry for seafood as East Asia, fisheries would have depleted enough to create frighteningly high prices long ago, and we'd probably have a thriving aquaculture industry today.
Agreed, and it sounds like the federal government is doing its job and monitoring this stuff to minimize abuse.

Its not clear how harassing wildlife living on the edge of survival is better than caring for animals, and taking pictures in return.

Exactly. CentOS has Fedora, Debian has sid/ubuntu/derivatives, Slackware has -current. If you don't require a stable platform (and most developers don't) then you're welcome to join people on the unstable side of things, making the next stable side of things.
The problem would solve itself, at least on mobile, if every browser implemented text reflow after zoom, like Opera does. Firefox reader mode has a different purpose but can be used as a workaround, but only when it finds the text content and only for that.

With text reflow users can zoom to the font size they read best and the designer doesn't have to try guessing the right one.

Control + pretty much solves the problem on desktop.
Alright. One distinction though is that vanilla IO monad has no logical constraint on consumption. You could technically thread a resource through a function many times and Haskell wouldn't complain. (This is blurry but I had something clear in mind, someone at a Haskeel meetup showed how to enforce constraints on monads through some kind of Phantom Type trick)

You're right; encapsulation doesn't mean mutable state; it means combining code and data (making a capsule).

Lisp list aren't ... whatever you call those stateful collection things that you can mutate with a list.add(42) type code that people are used to in a lot of scripting languages nowadays. That will trip up people who are used to that sort of thing.
