It's brigading, not censorship. Nasty, but it can be mitigated- that's what Wikipedia editors are for.
The middle class in America average about $50k in household income ($25k each).

Regardless of income, by definition, the middle class should always average out to basically break even unless we are in periods of rapid growth. This should happen because their willingness to pay for food and shelter is determined by what they make and eventually prices will catch up to income if income doesnt grow.

I imagine the concept I describe can better be explained by an economist.
You're again overestimating costs. A perfectly capable 3D printer can easily be had for under $500 and serves many more purposes than just fabbing PCBs. Many, many places (including libraries now) have 3D printers available for use at low cost. A mini mill capable of milling a PCB is harder to come by and also not useful for much more than basic engraving.
FCC Please retain Title 2 protection, uphold net neutrality. You work for us now, Pai, not for Verizon. We the people need full, fair access and yes--regulated.
Just a few reasons that come to mind:

- They'd be yet another distraction

- Who pays for the resources (space, nutrition, time)

- What if you don't work in an office

- Work environment might not be a great place for a kid
Backend almost always get's more respect and pay. There is simply a much greater depth and breadth of knowledge required, business processes, databases, queues, concurrency, security, deployments, the list goes on and more often than not includes a fair share of front end knowledge as well.

IME when you need someone to analyze user requirements and build an efficient UI it falls to the backend guys as well, because sorting out requirements is also part of our job. More often than not the front end devs I've worked with have been focused on making things pretty, making sure all the fonts match and the colors look nice rather than focus on true usability, often this is all they're empowered to do, they industry (sadly) makes little distinction between UX and UI.

Of course these are gross generalizations and I've seen exceptions to all the above points.
What about Improvers? Not a word about us? You can innovate while maintaining.
Even more funny: There are individuals out there trying to help others. HN's top replies are sarcastic and critical. Hope the poor devs don't see this thread today. If so, thanks so much for the awesome technology!
Is Facebook down?
That should be easy to study. Both Judaism and Islam don't know the concept of original sin, that's a Christian idea. Judaism holds that humans have capacity to do good and evil, and that everyone has a choice. Islam teaches that humans are fundamentally good and have an innate capacity to follow the will of God. Someone must already have looked at how schizophrenia manifests itself in devout Jews and Muslims.
SourceTree is pretty much unusable on my laptop, because every time it does anything the antimalware service springs into life and uses up anything from 20%-80% of the CPU power available. I've had it take 30 seconds to revert 1 line. It's stupid.

I was very much prepared to blame Atlassian for this, but maybe I need to start thinking about blaming Microsoft instead, because it sounds like they've made a few bad decisions here.

(Still, if my options are this, or POSIX, I'll take this, thanks. Dear Antimalware Service Executable, please, take all of my CPUs; whatever SourceTree is doing, I can surely wait. Also, please feel free to continue to run fucking Javascript as administrator... I don't mind. It's a small price to pay if it means I don't have to think about EINTR or CLOEXEC.)
Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a go. I really want to like Swype, but the inconsistent behavior is beginning to break the deal.
Did this affect Handbrake installs that were checking for updates or only newly downloaded installs?
Yes in BNE.AU
The negative comments don't make any sense. It's hard for me to understand why a bunch of people who clearly don't understand the domain complain how more informed parties invest their money.

I use Grammarly daily. The subscription is cheap compared to hiring a proofreader, which I used to do. The market for ESL speakers is huge, and native speakers, too, can often benefit from improving their writing.
This works even if your ISP is blocking wikipedia.org.
Wired is not the only source, search google for "Fire Phone eye tracking". E.g. https://www.cnet.com/news/amazon-fire-phone-features/ , C-Net is not good too? As for the Head Tracking SDK - sure, it's obviously is tracking the whole face position, it's easier than to track eyes so it's hard to imagine they would not have had it if they already had eye tracking.
Neutrality does not mean anything should be authorized... international law should allow ISP to submit to judiciary surveillance of individuals if those a suspected of serious crimes, terrorism, pedophilia, black hat hacking, psychological operations/fake news. I don't think because policemen can stop me in the street it is a violation of my freedom.
Moreover the article is extremely vague and use argumentum ad populum to push its case while remaining quite unclear on what is really planned: "His goal is clear: to overturn the 2015 order and create an Internet that’s more centralized."
My thoughts exactly. I think people don't realize that MUDs can have much more extensive interfaces than just "Adventure> " prompts, and that they have for a very very long time!
I couldn't say, but would be interested to find out. As far as CU's are concerned, I'll admit that I'm speaking anecdotally.

Obviously each CU is different, and I can't really speak to the specific terms that each one offers, but overall they seem to be more attractive than the terms offered by the large chain banks and the payday lender style banks that originated the style of debit cards discussed in the article.
I think the two things Elm lacks the most right now are some form of polymorphism and some way to make parts of an Elm application manage their local state.

At the moment there's only an internal API for the latter, and it's pretty ugly. I think what would be good for Elm would be to spin up a few separate Elm processes and provide an easy interface to make them communicate, sort of like in Erlang. You can do this using ports and binding them together with js right now, but it's kind of ugly.
not sure why this is downvoted - Intel was ranked #1 in at least one major VC rankings list for like 3 years in a row (2012-2015ish). not sure how they have done recently but for a while they were def at the top.
ISPs should be like utilities; regulated, not unfettered. Leaving ISP control entirely to mega companies such as your former boss, Pai, will give them undue influence and strip we regular folks of our rights to equal and fair net access. Come on--you know this is true.
I think regarding native interface elements, the original commenter is asking regarding React Native components that are native to IOS or Android.
You've never tried to work around small children, have you? I work from home and let me tell you, if our nanny has a day off it's absolutely impossible for me to get anything done beyond a couple of emails if I'm lucky.
It always depends on the vulnerability, but most major organizations are able to patch critical issues in less than 24 hours. That's the result of improving continuous integration and release engineering pipelines to the extreme.

The real issue is getting 100% of users to download and apply the patches. We haven't solved that one yet.
If real-time monitoring is running, try adding exceptions for your source and build outputs. It prevents antimalware from watching changes in those folders which can really slow down a build or sync.
Yes. In Manila, Philipines
Exclude C:\Git or whatever. I thought MS were fixing the high CPU usage and disk thrashing in the Creators Update, but evidently not.
Idle speculation -- perhaps they run it in the sandbox to see if it appears to be malicious? I mean, it's kind of like doing crash-tests with live passengers instead of dummies, but I could maybe see somebody deciding this was a good idea.
+1 My 2006 17" MBP is still used daily (Ironically I'm writing this on an XPS 15 running Fedora 25)
If industry people feel that way they should be told that their activities can cause a lot of harmful side effects that also need to be taken into account. There is a lot of history that shows that if business can do whatever they want they'll end up destroying the environment quickly and harm people.
My credit union has a $5 minimum savings balance. That is it. No monthly fees, but it does have an overdraft fee. It is going to be exceedingly hard to find any bank that doesn't have overdraft fees - that is where a lot of their revenue comes from.
Most businesses don't require innovation at all. McDonald's, for example, didn't invent the hamburger, but it has grown large because of its ability to grow while maintaining high standards.

McDonalds and its competitors have been continually innovating on the details of how to provider hamburgers and chips to customers quickly and cheaply.
Yeah, Japan was my first thought when I read that. You can't tell me with a straight face that they don't maintain everything to within an inch of its life.
Of course.

Both my wife and I have taken our kid to our respective offices and it was fine. She just sat there drawing and playing on her tablet. This was when she was 6-7 years old.

Not all kids are brats.
Yes - I've posted this twice but keeps getting flagged. Something fishy here.
Another reasoning for joining a credit union — being able to deposit and withdraw from any nearby credit union whether it's your own or not for no fee.
I'm curious to hear your rationale for preferring Windows over POSIX. It's interesting to draw that comparision and conclude that Windows is better (most arguments favor the UI/UX, the large body of software, or the hardware support - not APIs/standards).
> you can overdraft debit cards

Not always, my debit cards have always had the overdraft facility turned off. If there's no money in the account then the transaction doesn't go through.
Some additional information may help in the duty vs prudence debate. It's true that IPFS gateways can be blocked. But as noted, anyone can create gateways, IPFS works in partitioned networks, and content can be shared via sneakernet. Content can also be shared among otherwise partitioned networks by any node that bridges them.

For example, it's easy to create nodes on both the open Internet and the private Tor OnionCat IPv6 /48. That should work for any overlay network. And once nodes on such partitioned networks pin content, outside connections are irrelevant. Burst sharing is also possible. Using MPTCP with OnionCat, one can reach 50 Mbps via Tor.[0,1]

Not to be too pointed about it, but you don't have kids, do you?
Why is it hard to get a bank account? There is no risk to the bank from a low income person having an account, worst case for them is it's empty.
This is the most likely reason. Moving it to a lower privilege amount was just either missed, or is still on someone's Todo.
I wouldn't say it's hard, Wells Fargo has free checking for anyone with over $500/mo in direct deposits or makes 10+ debit card transactions per month. Even someone making part-time minimum wage can probably make the debit card requirements without an issue.

Every credit union in my area offers free draft accounts as well, just put the $25-100 member balance into savings and you're done.

Anyone with ideas on how they came to this conclusion? Yes, I read the linked document but felt that the index assessment didn't really reflect that google (Natalie?) seems to have found this "in the wild".

Rest of the day spending time with my wife, PC gaming, learning Python.

Actually right now trying to get transferred to FSU for BS in Electrical engineering.
After that see two options: Personal start-up research while in college or:
Get in Nvidia, Intel, AMD companies. Very interested in processing of Germanium substrates and modern electronics building.
anyone who opposes the united states world domination now is a 'pirate'. or a 'terrorist'.

anyone.
I'm really surprised here. When I worked on Windows we used the STRIDE model and had to do formal threat model analysis for every component. The reviews I was in was in for win 8 took a full day. A TMA should have immediately showed that a security boundary was needed.
Track joins mess with that sort of thing. They serve two purposes: 1) to insulate between sections of the aformentioned short-across-rails signalling system, 2) to allow for the thermal expansion/contraction of track due to temperature. Even without 1, you still need 2 and that will interfere with sending any signal down the track.

The problem is that detecting that serves no purpose, and you need to detect past those joins for it to serve a use.
this story has been told many times.

it's total bullshit. as are most of the stories glorifying the victors of history.
Facebook.com website is down on mobile and desktop
Yep, if it weren't for Fastmail I'd still be hosting my own e-mail and just quietly cursing the existence of Gmail. Now I get to have high significant other acceptance factor and curse the existence of Gmail.
I've always been a bit wary of doing that, as I've seen infected EXEs committed to version control a number of times because of it :(

What I have done - well, what I think I have done! - the UI is appalling - is added SourceTree.exe and git.exe as exclusions. My intention here is that the antimalware service won't then monitor their activity while they're doing stuff, but will still check working copies when it does a routine scan... but sadly this didn't seem to make any difference at all, literally none whatsoever, and SourceTree continued to be what I can only describe as "slow as fuck" - if you'll forgive the technical jargon.

The odd thing is, though, which just occurred to me like literally right now, it might actually be safer to add the folder exclusion after all! Because then there's zero risk of the Javascript interpreter springing into action :-|

What a time to be alive!

(But I still stand by everything I said about POSIX.)

Ask HN: Why has GNU Octave not succeeded over Matlab as GNU R did over S-Plus?
https://www.walmartmoneycard.com/account/legal-info-page?pro...

As I said, there are a variety of cards on offer, from a variety of sources, but they all seem to fall within the same range cost-wise, even if the fees are structured differently.

It's as if we are arguing about cars, and you want to debate whether the pinto in question had power-windows or not, while ignoring the fact that it will explode in a routine accident.
You are right, different doesn't mean more or less expressive. I was merely going on my experience being a Greek and English speaker, and a Latin student -- there are concepts that simply do not translate over to English, and I have not encountered this hurdle when translating from English to Greek.
Keep Net Neutrality!
I've downvoted you because I feel the tone of this comment has upended what could have been a constructive, well-thought conversation and turned it into somewhat of a shouting match.

Ignoring your tone, it seems to me that you're drawing a false comparison (however to be clear, this isn't the reason why I'm downvoting). Chris's comment recognizes the importance of critical mass of adoption in network effects. He's pointing out that at this stage in its development, censoring governments would have no need to strong-arm IPFS. Simply blocking their domain is much lower profile and as such, much lower risk.

In this scenario there's no point at which "being docile" or "being strong" comes into play. If you think otherwise, then I'd argue that you may be mistaking the primary goal of the effort in question to be an open protest, rather than providing residents of Turkey access to censored information. I think you'd agree that the primary goal is for IPFS to give the people of Turkey Wikipedia, and while it might be nice if they also gave the Turkish government a big bold middle finger in the process, that's not in service of their primary goal.

If you accept that premise, then I'm not sure how you can take this idle musing from Chris and construe it to be evidence of how he'd behave when being legally strong-armed by a government while at the helm of KeyBase. The situation upon which that conclusion would be predicated just simply isn't represented in his original comment.

Finally I'd argue that if this is of critical concern to you, then why are you trusting a third party with your key storage in the first place?
Ask HN: Does H1B visa salary data include RSUs?
When companies submit H1B data to the US Department of Labor, are they including RSUs in the annual salary number?
No, they did not claim it before that year.
The DNC did suppress Sanders and showed massive bias towards Clinton, the email leaks showed it. Clinton's campaign got debate questions early. They got preferential treatment in the media. Then when Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC chair at the time, was kicked out because the collusion became public knowledge, the Clinton campaign _immediately_ hired her. If there wasn't massive collusion, then there was at very least an image problem, which Clinton did nothing to help by hiring the very person forced to resign.

Also, the message sent by the two were not identical at all. Sure, if you tallied them all up and compared them by existence they would be very similar, but the difference was in the focus. Sanders' campaign focused on socioeconomic inequality which would have resonated more in rural America, while Clinton's campaign focused more on social issues, which matters more in the urban centers where the economy is less of an issue.

Eh, maybe, maybe not. Language is powerful. Replaced the "pissed off" descriptor in that sentence with "shafted" or "fucked over" and it dramatically shifts the narrative.

There is probably a distribution here that matters - without maintenance there is no foundation for innovation, without innovation there is no motivation to maintain - man wants to produce and consume newer ideas, materials, tools, items etc.

There's a great piece in the Lapham's quarterly about maintaining NYC's infrastructure and how without any maintenance, NYC would be replaced by forest cover within 200 years. Can't find it right now but it is a great read trust me.

If GP values adoption as the path to censorship resistance - then maybe their product will include backdoors to "stay compliant".

For example, when you receive a NSL - do you pull a Lavabit and close shop, or do you backdoor your users?

And while we're here. Cjbprime, do you have any NSL's? And what's your policy on warrant canaries?

PepsiCo and Coca Cola control about 75% of the carbonated beverages market in the US. Dr Pepper Snapple Group (a separate company entirely, Pepsi doesn't make a Dr-type soda) has about 17%. The rest is a whole mass of specialty and local producers.

Interestingly, you will find Dr Pepper in most quick service restaurants despite their exclusive contracts. Those contracts are not with a particular brand, but with a particular distributor. Dr Pepper has cross-distribution contracts with a bunch of major distributors so they get to ride along.
