So what Xu has done is the equivalent of a kid from the boxing club going and beating up the chess club.

The part you're missing is that this whole thing kicked off because kids from the chess club where going around claiming that chess was a better basis for fighting than boxing.
Compared to today, I'd say life was indeed unpleasant. Just being free of Polio makes a gigantic difference.

The opportunities I have for travel, education, healthcare, access to arts, and other experiences are far greater than my ancestors had. The opportunities my daughters have are so much greater than even my grandmother had. I wouldn't give any of it up.
Why would it be necessary to prove that? Even the article asserts that this is a continuing trend that predates this administration.
Arrogance? Or matter-of-factness from sparring and testing the skills on a daily basis? I can see how it's hard to tell the difference.

Do you train?
Your premise -- that [facts] are necessary to avoiding failure -- is false. What dictionary are you reading that defines a fact as being something necessary to avoid failure?
Pilot friend told me we know exactly how we could make airliners ~twice as fuel-efficient by making the fuselage a more aerodynamic shape than a flat cylinder. But no-one wants to have to build each seat row in a slightly different shape.

before I had kids I spent maybe 5-10 hours a week on random side projects and freelancing, since I had twins they are my full-time job and my full-time job became kind of side project
I have to second this. Toggl is fantastic not just for freelance time management, but for managing time spent on any project. It has a lot of features that you'd just expect to be there, like when the browser icon changes whether you're on the clock or off the clock, or how you can just click 'play' on a previously logged task to resume the timer for that task.
There are other countries to live and trade.
I don't necessarily think that either—pistols can be a lot harder to use in combat than people think, such as when your opponent can close and grapple before you can draw.

Sports and games are organized by their rules, and combat sports are no different. No one should think that sumo is good combat training—the loser is the first to step outside the ring or touch the ground with any part of their body other than the foot. But it is a great sport that requires very specialized training, with some exceptions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takanoyama_Shuntar%C5%8D

But this means that, if practitioners claim that these are skills that can increase one's personal safety, it's important to test these conditions and assumptions. MMA fighters specialize to win MMA-style fights...but what about outside of those assumptions?
You'd never heard of supercomputing legend Seymour Cray?! I find that really hard to believe.
That completely depends on where you pull the arbitrary lines for the made-up probabilities.
The referee is supposed to stop the fight when one of the fighters becomes unable to defend himself.
Distance aside, you don't even have a semblance of simultaneity with multiple reference frames, so not even theoretically possible.

The article doesn't have to be correct about the definition, it's about how Illinois regulations define it.
The system may not be aware of something like boarding groups, especially since every airline does them differently.

It's entirely possible that the "check" is "is this boarding pass checksum valid.", especially given the stories of boarding wrong flights - it doesn't even flash red for "this is not the right pass for this flight".
Why not just use TOTP if you want 2FA?
You should use whichever lets you work easiest.

I have a few keybindings on my keyboard because it makes my life easier but others have different keybindings.

I use a Poker2 or Poker3 and I make the Win key Fn and I switch Capslock and F12 and my terminal is pulled up with F12 (meaning I can hit Capslock to get my terminal)
Love this idea. I hope it can grow.

Just played around with the demo, one think I would change is to make it work as a single page to make it instant, it feels kind of slow.
A couple of years ago a colleague built this for H264/5: http://www.argondesign.com/products/argon-streams-hevc/

It's not just a fuzzer, it guarantees to hit every part of the spec (subject to what "profile" you're implementing). It's not free, it's a product for sale to implementers of HEVC for verification purposes.

About 5 hours a week on https://getelapse.com, chunked into 20 minute slots like lunch breaks or downtime at home between family stuff. The only way I'm able to make forward progress is by being super strict about CI+CD.

It's actually doing a good job of forcing me to code really well, because if you've only got 20 minutes to get a thing done, you can't have much cognitive overhead or switching costs.
NPR's Planet Money did a podcast on a a town in Wisconsin that reduced health care costs by having conversations with patients about death. It's worth a listen for an inexpensive solution to a costly problem: http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2016/10/05/496751771/episo...

FWIW, Amadeus has been working for years and years on a migration away from IBM mainframes. The project took hundreds of man-years and it's nearing completion very soon (I mean, maybe this or next year, that's "very soon" in the GDS scale).

But as you can imagine, migrating legacy systems to new hardware with the spec "it should work as the old system" is not the most sexy job and not the easiest to recruit great programmers for.

(I work for Amadeus, but on unrelated projects - though I have friends who worked on the migration).

Not a bad thing to put on a gravestone.
I was forced to have this conversation early as I was not married until recently, and my then girlfriend and I signed power of attorney for each other. It is really worth the time and discomfort to talk about this with your spouse and loved ones. If you really want to be prepared , volunteer at hospice, or at least talk to someone who does.
Often, you're more-or-less getting the content surrounding the ads from the ads, albeit indirectly.

My local gas station upgraded its pumps recently to allow it to play video ads on the screen used to do the credit card transaction. I don't doubt it's partially the reason that gas station is still operational when similar non-franchises vendors in town have gone under.
If they're searching information, they really need to be putting multi-minute delays on all cross-border internet communications while they search the content.

Yes. Refreshing my memory from the link you gave, it seems like the Neptune searchers would have benefited decisively from image-differencing and all-inclusive source databases -- like the ones that are now automated. Because, during their search for Neptune, they observed it twice without noticing it:

"Only after the discovery of Neptune had been announced in Paris and Berlin did it become apparent that Neptune had been observed on August 8 and August 12 but because Challis lacked an up-to-date star-map, it was not recognized as a planet."

> Despite a popular misconception, doctors don’t die much differently: Physicians use hospice care and die in hospitals at rates similar to everyone else.

I don't suppose the New York Times thinks articles like http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/20/your-money/how-doctors-die... played any part in creating this "popular misconception"?
The headline is misleading. According to the information in the article itself most of the complaints can be solved by properly training staff to use existing tech as it was designed.

One of main complaints of the article - that airline staff doesn't get passed enough information about a passenger's disability, so, for example, deaf people get met at the gate with a wheelchair, seems to be a direct result of using inappropriate, or non-standard, SSR codes. If a deaf/hard-of-hearing person is travelling, the appropriate code, (DEAF), should be used, not HI or MAAS, (if the systems allow for multiple codes, "DEAF MAAS" would be appropriate).

According to the article these SSR codes are industry standards and are entrenched in airline systems worldwide. If they were used properly, and if staff were properly trained to understand and act on them, this problem would largely be solved. This is a training & execution problem, not a technology problem.

A second complaint, that information is not passed to disabled customers quickly, (for example, hard-of-hearing passengers can't hear announcements at the airport or on the plane), is also mostly solvable by using the tech that is installed in airports today. For example: "Visual paging — when an audio page is posted in text form on screens — is becoming very easy, but it’s not yet ubiquitous." Why is it not ubiquitous? Haven't most airports, at least in wealthy countries, got some sort of a screen up at each gate that has the Flight #, departure time, weather at the destination, and all that? If announcements aren't going up there too that seems to be laziness or lack of training on behalf of the gate staff, or laziness or lack of concern in whoever makes decisions about how the software that runs those screens works.

For in-flight announcements it's harder, especially now that seat-back displays are being removed from aircraft in favour of handheld devices. It probably comes down to a flight attendant making sure that a disabled person gets told what's going on, (because he or she saw the appropriate SSR code on the passenger manifest).

The final complaint, in-flight entertainment, is ridiculous. Why isn't everything that's available on TV, (closed-captioning, described video, and whatever else I'm not aware of), available on in-flight entertainment? The tech exists, it looks like it just hasn't been installed, or has been installed but isn't activated, on aircraft. This should not even be a problem and I don't understand why it is.

Edit: To clarify, I'm not disabled, and haven't experienced these problems myself. This comment is based purely on the problems as described in the linked article.
I have always had the opinion you lose privacy when you leave your house

Privacy is not black and white.

There is a world of difference between someone seeing you for a moment as they pass you in the street and forgetting you a moment later, and automated systems that permanently record everything, analyse it, correlate it with other data sets, make it searchable, and ultimately make automated decisions or provide information that will be used by others to make judgements about the affected individuals, all without the knowledge or consent of those individuals and therefore without any sort of reciprocity.

The idea that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place dates from a time when you could also expect to pass through town in relative anonymity, go about your business without anyone but your neighbours and acquaintances being any the wiser, and would probably change those neighbours and acquaintances from time to time anyway so the only people who really knew much about you would be your chosen long-time friends and colleagues. I think it's safe to say that that boat sailed a while ago, and maybe what privacy means and how much of it we should expect or protect aren't the same in the 21st century.

This is why exceptional cases require exceptional responses, especially when a human that is going to get fatigued is involved.

Don't just beep the same way every scan beeps, make a different noise. Show a large red "STOP" sign on the screen along with the problem.

When you need to alert a human to an event that only happens once in every few hundred cases, you can't be subtle.
Yeah true, I suppose there is rounding error. Is this something that has actually happened to you, or are you saying it's a problem in theory? I'd be hard pressed to come up with a real-world use case for 10 of the same color being comped. For this to be a problem, the visible elements being comped would have to be exactly the same color, without any gradient or noise at all...

Even if it did happen, the error is bounded - with 10 layers of the same color, the maximum error in any channel is 5, and the average error is 2.5. It's pretty hard to say it would be wildly and noticeably different to most people even with 8 bit color channels, but I certainly have met some film directors and CG supervisors who were very color sensitive. It would be literally invisible in anything higher than 8 bits.

I'm curious -- why do you say the rounded colors would tend toward gray? Rounding error can happen in both directions, so I would expect rounding errors to cause a uniformly distributed error -- some colors would get slightly more saturated, some less, some of them would shift hue, and some would be unaffected.

You lost me on the edges part & aliasing. Rounding errors will not be visible as fringes, so if you're seeing fringes, you have some other problem... perhaps failure to pre-multiply! ;) Tell me more about stacking shapes and getting fringes. Is this stacking 10 of the same shape in the same place, or at the edge crossings of different shapes? What kind of fringes are you seeing?

Anyway, I've never witnessed a case in 20 years of film & game production where rounding errors caused a visible, detectable problem, but I'd love to know if there real cases where it's an issue!

Most boys think of themselves as attractive and this is stable?

Is this statement true for most of you?

I was a fat kid (and fat young adult) and always thought I was unattractive. Even though it may not have affected me as much as it would had I been a girl, it remains prominent in my self image
Yes and yes! Mitigations like these are completely impossible to go through if you do not have a really good amount of money lying around (and that you'll never have it back), and even individuals (not only big corps) are subject to trolls. I remember a guy posting videos explaining how he was being sued for infringement because he downloaded something from the app store which was an infringement within his state (I don't remember exactly which one, but my guess is Texas).

Really hope these new tech companies can "disrupt" this kind of practice, but they do have to get together and agree on some sort of action. Newegg and cloudflare fighting back is great, but if facebook, Netflix, Apple, Microsoft & co join the cause, I'm sure trolls will have a good reason to, well, not troll.
> What happened to the Content-Encoding: gzip header though?

> I still don’t know where the Content-Encoding: gzip header went! Did Cloudflare remove it? Did my webhost stop serving it for some reason? I have no idea! Anyway, my site seems to work again (I think/hope?) and I thought this was kind of a fun excursion into HTTP headers.

I would presume that Cloudflare's HTTP client doesn't send an 'Accept-encoding: gzip' header, and , likely, they don't support caching the 'Content-encoding:' header. I would expect this because Cloudflare's purpose is to optimize your traffic as much as possible, so to do that, they want to negotiate the least optimized content from your upstream server. Requesting unoptimized content from upstream will minimize your server's performance utilization at the coat of increased traffic utilization. However, that small increase in traffic utilization is offset by Cloudflare's content caching. Also, when Cloudflare makes that initial request due to a cache miss, there's a downstream user expecting that content. If Cloudflare wants to minimize the time of that request, as they want to do for all requests, so if they get gzipped content, then they need to decompress, store the content in cache, and, if 'accept-encoding:gzip' is present, then re-gzip the content. They are trying to minimize that turn around by not having to decompress content which the author's rewrite rules, essentially, broke the HTTProtocol contract.

I'm sure it's incredibly rare to encounter one, but this very issue is expected behavior for HTTP/1.0 clients as they don't support gzip.
With certain instruments (voice, strings, and trombones, namely; valve/rotor brass instruments with finger-actuated tuning slides can pull this off, too, depending on the arrangement), just intonation should work for nearly all chord progressions, since the instrument is not constrained to particular pitches and thus can freely move around to adjust for each chord in quick succession.

Ask HN: Seek Work to Pay College Fees
Hi,
I am an 18 year old. I am learning front-end web development and so far I've learnt HTML, CSS and JavaScript with some other libraries/ frameworks. I want to become full stack web developer. Currently learning PHP.
And I want to gain some experience doing some real work. I will be doing my Bachelor from Computer Science this year so I want
to earn some money for my college fees. But I'm not asking for money. I know that I don't have experience. Nobody will give work to me.
So I just want some experience right now and want to build my portfolio, then I'll start freelancing.

I would be very thankful if any of you could use me as an employee for yourself. Or I could help
you in some way or the other in this field so I can hone up my skills and learn from you. I will not ask for a single penny
as I know that I'm not in the position to earn. I just want to work for you for free, if possible.

Thanks.
This is something djbdns excelled at in it's initial implementation. DJB, always impressive. These vulnerabilities don't seem all that hard to fix. This also points out why DNSSec is so important IMO. I know many don't see as much value in it, but it can be very useful for defending against inauthentic records. It's a big reason why I've been working on TRust-DNS.

On a separate note; I'd love feedback on these areas of my code if anyone would care to... In TRust-DNS, at least to my best ability, I implemented them in these two locations:

randomized port (UDP only): https://github.com/bluejekyll/trust-dns/blob/master/client/s...

randomized msg id (TCP & UDP): https://github.com/bluejekyll/trust-dns/blob/master/client/s...
As far as I can figure, if your phone is powered off and requires a passcode to run, the only thing they can do is confiscate your device. They cannot bar a US citizen from entry into the country - even if you have no passport or identification, they can only fine you for entering without it.

If they confiscate your device I'm not sure how long they can keep it off the top of my head, but I would operate under the assumption that you're not getting it back. There are legal remedies for this sort of warrantless seizure, but I'm guessing that there's a mechanism through which they could charge the phone itself with a crime in order to circumvent the Fourth Amendment, a'la asset forfeiture.

And, as for this:

>Instead, we actually rely a lot on the Zestimate and Redfin's estimate to figure out what the "real" value of the house is

Let me give you a lesson from econ 101 - the 'real' value of something is whatever someone else is willing to pay for it. If multiple people are willing to pay more than Zillow or Redfin estimate, then the 'real' value is higher.
That's at the heart of it - is examining a person in public with automated tools, unethical? Just saying it is, isn't a compelling argument.

The FBI can use automated tools for surveillance - which doesn't speak to ethics directly but indirectly, as we hope ethics drove those rules.

I can sit in my private store and observer people out the window all day, even take notes. That's not unethical; that's a sociological experiment or some such, and done millions of times a day.

It may be jarring or creepy to imagine an advertisement is sizing me up. Again, ethics is more than 'does it make people uncomfortable'.
This is funny. Google used to have clusters in Virginia. Not in Ashburn, but close, in a colo facility. You wanted to use them if you cared about latency to e.g. Philly, NYC and Boston. Then they were turned down because of all the capacity that was brought up on the East Coast in its own facilities.
We have to drastically reduce air travel to cope with global warming and excess CO2. It's pretty unethical to fly more than a few times a year. CO2 injected into the upper atmosphere causes 2-3x warming vs ground level CO2 emissions.
On the other hand, being jealous of your rights is almost a requirement for citizenship :)
A lot of things are technologically feasible, and in many cases can't realistically be prevented ahead of time, yet are still considered socially unacceptable or even made illegal. Just because we can do something, that doesn't mean we should. This principle has never been more relevant than in the use of technology.
I designed the HOCON format.

Here is my take on the why not JSON / why not YAML questions: https://blog.ometer.com/2015/09/07/json-like-config-a-spectr...

Short answer is "UX"

There's also a historical reason, Play Framework and Akka had both invented ad hoc formats, HOCON replaced both. The ad hoc formats added things like includes and substitutions but in regex-hack type of ways. So HOCON was cleaning those older parsers up with a single actually-documented format.
You'd need to give up on consistency, because there is no such thing when the time of communication is long compared to interval of events. In the long run, ACID is dead.
