Technically each and every advertising agency that creates a profile on you, gives you a cookie and stores your IP address is in violation of the law. (IP addresses count as PII, Personally Identifiable Information).

Letting customer support people push a button that says "This person appears to have an actual bug" that reports it to a specialized customer support team with some technical knowledge to be able to report it.

These customer support people talk to people like this all day. They can know when an issue is an actual bug.
I know a lot of teachers, and I've never met one who was even aware of, much less in support of, the "prussian model." I have kids in school, and consequently know lots of kids. I've never noticed that the ones who are more successful in school, are more authoritarian.

The "prussian model" strikes me as an urban legend.

You could get a used Model S for a little more than a new Model 3. The autopilot won't be as good, but it will have better performance and free supercharging. Plus it's already available.
Yarn does not run a mirror of the registry. registry.yarnpkg.com is a pass-through domain to the npm registry. It allows them to collect stats about yarn usage but is not a mirror.

You don't put an FPGA in a device you're going to sell 200M+ of. The cost per unit would be way higher than an asic, and your just going to come out with a better version next year anyway so why bother?

I foresee it as similar to their M series co-processors - the first one was pretty basic, and more sensors and jobs have been given to the newer ones each year.

Easy68k. I have hated that program with passion during the computer architecture course.

Didn't know how and why, but various conditional jumps used to plain fail. Conditions were met, but the jmp/je/jne/jz would not be executed.

That being said... The m68k... I was saddened to discover thst coldfire mcus had been discontinued, it would have been nice to play with an m68k-based board.
Bike lanes have always been controversial. MIT professor John Forrester has long argued that it is better for people to think that "a bicycle is a vehicle".

Bicyclists often have a fear that somebody is going to hit them from behind, but earlier studies show that the majority of accidents happen around intersections: if bikes are segregated from traffic, often cyclists are invisible at intersections and get hit.

More recent studies in the U.S. south, however, show that bicyclists are more likely to be hit from behind than previous studies -- but that might just be southern culture...
>IP addresses count as PII, Personally Identifiable Information.

One way hashed (that can't be rainbow tabled) are not however PII afaik however, so it's quite easy to turn an IP address into a "net location ID" or something similar that can't be tracked back to a physical IP for analytics.
Thanks.

I still think tgis project has a huge potential.
mmm people with sandybridge still chugging along. I'd say pentium 4 is now near EOL. Core 2 is still pretty good. I'd say only big addition was AVX/AVX2 on sandybridge/haswell which gave us YMM registers.

The original iPhone launched almost exactly 10 years ago. It had a 412MHz single-core processor, 128MB of RAM, a 320x480 screen, 2G data and no GPS.

Will anyone want to use an iPhone 7 or a Galaxy S8 in 2027?
My kids had a similar experience at their public school. One possible variable to consider is that the school is in a neighborhood with a high percentage of educated parents, who are pretty vocal in their demands. A lot of kids get bumped up by a grade, or put in mixed grade classes -- often in response to discipline problems in the classroom.

This is one of the times I can say for sure that I know what I'm saying. A mix of improbable circumstances.

The funny thing about the link you share is that the two comments that offer the real answer are the least voted.

They explain why actions were called in rem (a demand related to possesions as opposed to in personam) and that real estate is refered to goods that you can't move, as opposed to furniture. Actually in Spanish real estate is "inmueble" while furniture is "mueble".
You could simply enumerate all 32 bits and end up with each and every IP reversed so that trick doesn't really hold water.

No need for rainbow tables, the search space is small enough to brute force.
(Thanks partly to Node) V8 works on Power (LE & BE, Linux & AIX), I'm pretty sure it works on MIPS (https://github.com/v8/v8/tree/master/src/mips64), and you can even get in on z/OS (https://developer.ibm.com/node/sdk/ztp/)!

Not sure about Chromium support on those platforms, but V8 support is pretty impressive.
Wow, they have up-to-date images for the previous version of LineageOS for the Google Nexus, even.

Has anyone tried it on such an old phone? Is it dog-slow?
The guy who ran the exact test OP is referring to specifically states that it handles two-bit errors in a sub-optimal manner.

Sure, you don't have to hard fault. Just like regular memory controllers don't fail on any bit-errors. But it's ideal, when dealing with critical data.
Ask HN: How do I market to Software Development Shops?

Yes it is slow at least on the nexus I tried it on. It may have been improved since then.
If there was a cost-effective way to quickly "tune-up" said original iPhone up to current specs, would such a method be profitable?
Macbooks will already run Linux, sometimes with some difficulty but usually not much more than a 'how-to' or a readme is required to get most stuff working. Brand new laptops of any brand find themselves stripped of their default install and turned into Linux machines.
We all know that the law of car-driving-assholes means that any bike lane that a car is capable of entering, will be entered by a car = risk of death/injury.
The only way for bike lanes to be a safe method is to introduce barriers so cars CAN NOT ENTER AT ALL.
Sadly there are so many roads that are too narrow for these bike lanes to exist as well as allow two way traffic as well as parking that I think the only way is to create one way roads from the old 2 way roads and have a segregated bike lane use up one car space, with barriers to cars, and parking one one side only.
They have created trial bike lane on bloor street in Toronto, with only one parking lane (which alternates from side to side.) Bloor still has 2 way car traffic.

I think one way is the way. Then with self driving cars(cab like, but lots cheaper) reducing the numbers of cars will help.

Being a delivery-only restaurant isn't trying to "play the Amazon game" - it's trying to be a restaurant that only delivers.

OP is right here that the substitute good for Sprig was ordering delivery from a restaurant. Typically when you think about ordering delivery, you instantly start thinking about your favorites, meaning this industry is hard to scale because it requires building trust.

Weed and alcohol may have monopolistic characteristics brought on by strict licensing requirements, but people typically don't consume these on a daily basis so the lower delivery quantities negate the higher margins.

It's not as simple, even in incognito mode you're tracked by your ISP. So in the end incognito doesn't really do anything but superficially hiding your data on your drive.
When my kids were starting school, I looked up Common Core. At the time, some of the states had published their standards. My impression was that the standards seemed remarkably "normal" if I may use that word. It was pretty much the same subject matter that I learned in school as a kid.
That's a little disingenuous of them. Every petition I've ever seen in the US required not only a name but an address as well, specifically for this purpose.
I suspect that minority of responses will be "Get orf moi laaaand!"
Yes, it does. It'll correct 1-bit errors and report 2-bit errors. It just doesn't fault on 2-bit errors, as is expected.
How often do you bike in these protected bike lanes?

My city has them and I intentionally avoid roads with them. It's more dangerous because every intersection the protection is broken for the turning lane and let me tell you, cars do not check for you before jumping in to that turning lane. It's terrifying.
An earthquake would open up new ground that is currently prohibitively expensive by regulation (the 'social' part of the problem ) to allow enough housing to be built to reduce cost significantly.
I don't know if you count it as an old phone but I use it on a Samsung SIII (Wikipedia says that launched 2012) and it's snappy as heck.

The current images are nightlies so I have encountered a few bugs. Previously was running CyanogenMod 13 on a stable image and that was fine (but the CyanogenMod company folded so it wasn't going to get security updates). Looking forward to a stable release of Lineage.

Have you seen Mozilla's "test pilot" collection of addons? They're experimenting with adding vertical tabs into Firefox: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/

> while Intel's elaborate addressing modes introduced with the 386 are producing code size and cache efficiency benefits to this very day.

At the expense of orthogonality, which I think is a great feature for a CPU to have and which the 68K (and 6809 and 6800) had in spades.
Honestly if you're concerned about that you should just stop using facebook.
I took a hobby related class at the local community college last year and one of the first things the professor had us do was take a quiz to determine our "learning style". For the rest of the semester, she deferred to each person's results when giving personal attention. I had long been aware that learning styles aren't backed up by any real evidence and can even be detrimental, but I figured I'd rather just deal with it than look like the old fogey in the class who thinks he knows everything trying to make the teacher look bad.

At any rate, this kind of junk is alive and well at least where I live.
The Southern culture of hitting people with your car? I don't really get the logic that you're implying accidents will go up if there are bike lanes. Bike lanes should increase visibility of bikes overall, especially if they are more common around the city.

Enumeration through 32 bits of bcrypt doesn't sound that feasible to me.

The best devs I know dont have portfolio pieces. They tend to work on problems that the people employing them pay a lot of money to prevent being public.

So for me portfolios are for junior devs & graduate students looking to leave academia. Therefore, I look for things that are uncommon in those environments, engineering over theory, documentation & tests over novelty.

Note: if I were hiring for a researcher the above would not be true.
Nothing will change until the law cracks down on this. The people who work on these systems are smart enough to comprehend the wider consequences, but they do it anyway because money. Without significant external pressure, there will always be a long line of engineers willing to dial their cognitive dissonance up to 11 and build software that is clearly unethical in exchange for a fat paycheck.
Ask HN: Insurance for single-member LLC
Hi All

I have a single-member LLC through which I do software R&D work. A new contract requires that I hold "Commercial General Liability" and "Professional Liability" insurance. Was wondering if anyone on here had any particular recommendations/experience about particular insurance providers.
There are a bunch and they seem indistinguishable to my untrained eye.

Related and more general question: how do you go about finding good professional services? (eg accountant, lawyer, ...) Presumably most common answer is "social network" but I'm a little lacking in that dep't at the moment.

A quirky article about free access to a paywall, but false claims that Sam Biddle is actually a journalist
It seems like the article claims it's unlikely that you could outrun the wind-borne fallout.
That is why you back off from the bleeding edge after endurance testing it.

I have not done overclocking for quite a while, but general strategy was:

0. Get the right hardware - some hardware oveclocks better.

1. Depending on what you overclock come up with a short stress test. This would be GPU/CPU/RAM/PSU testing.

2. One component at a time. Identify top voltage/temp you are willing to tolerate. Overlock in steps of 5-10% nominal frequency. When the stress test fails increase the voltage by 5-10% until you reach the voltage limit. Once you get all of the data look at the frequency voltage curve and pick a voltage point (generally lower is better), back off a step or two from the frequency that passed and run an endurance test.

3. Run all components at the same time and stress test the entire system. The caveats here are to look out for power and temperature issues. I.E. make sure nothing get too hot (this includes the motherboard power regulators!) or voltage rails drop out of spec.

4. Slightly back off from the setup that passed 3 and you should be good to go for long term usage.

TL-DR: Overclock one component at a time come up with frequency/max temp/required voltage chart and don't try to run the hardware on the bleeding edge.

edit: list spacing...
The article lists a bunch of companies in the space going down.

Thinking of the demand side, would a company rolled up into one, being able to claim a large slice of this nascent market for itself, have been able to survive and grow?
You would think, but every material I've seen or been taught about learning styles is that hands on is separate from kinesthetic learning. Kinesthetic really is like dancing, hand movements, and other physical mnemonics.

Learning styles™ really are that dumb.
Facebook is the new NSA inside the flesh of a social media site. And that's scary.
It should be interesting to see how a prevalence of stronger-than-human go bots will influence the next generation of players. Magnus Carlsen relies on Chess bots extensively for analysis and preparation (though not really as opponents since they're too good), how much stronger than Ke Jie is now will be the Go player of the future who comes of age using such tools? And for the existing pros already, will we soon see a large divide in those who embrace using such tools (and studying their games with each other / good humans as has already been done with the Master series) and those who dislike them?
I remember submitting an early preview F# bug directly to dev email which I got together with compiler crash message related to some obscure attribute handling situation. I remember being very surprised that I could do it, and more so when I got a response! That was the first time I realized there are people like me behind this faceless Microsoft machine.

Funny, wildly different times, I don't think github was even popular (existed?) back then.
I am appalled at the attempt by Chipotle to downplay the scope and scale of the incident. The sentence which reads, " Not all locations were involved, and the specific time frames vary by location", is a blatant attempt to deflate the significance of the problem. This public disclosure should have been more direct, and disclose in plain language the number of stores affected. Chipotle should explain the full impact in plain language: "2,249 out of X,XXX Chipotle restaurants were compromised."

All my favourite teachers had one thing in common: passion. They liked their subject and they liked teaching it.

I don't necessarily disagree with the post or the people behind what's being reported, but telling teachers how to teach seems like you're going to pick away at them, and with it their passion for their job.
I think the benefit of this is that you must think at your own successes and wonder how much is because you are really good at that and can't possibly fail, and how much of that is because you got insanely lucky.
Not to excuse Microsoft here, but it's in a giant button marked "Feedback". Come on.
The other factor is if the phone doesn't have a user-replaceable battery then it has a short self-life regardless of the software situation. Batteries don't last.
The challenge for the official is to sort the signatures easily to identify their constituents. Not so easy without zip+4 data (5-digit zip not always accurate on election districts).
But they are tracking and spying on their users and using strong arming tactics to keep the "Chrome" branding. Firefox has been faster and uses less resources for a good while now and Opera is at least offering Mobile mode to say power while on battery (Even though it's powered by the Blink engine).

An what Chrome is giving out is "Tier1" search results only fed to their browser (Thus search results are more accurate using Chrome.... and now Google Earth is "Chrome Only" which uses WebGL and the latest tests show Firefox is still over 3x as fast with WebGL content then Chrome.

Electron is HORRIBLE, enabling people to write apps in Javascript while using all your PC"s resources is insane. "Etcher" a program written in electron who's sole purpose is simply an "ISO USB Writer" comes with a payload of 180mb's on disk and over 200MB's of RAM and runs like an old dog with cancer... along with the other electron apps. This could have been written with something we had for decades with little overhead and small payload, it's called Python...
Why is "phone interface" buried down at the end of the page under "future goals"?

I mean, if a project wanted to put a "10 year life-cycle" on an IoT blender by porting Gnu/Linux to it, you'd think the first order of business would be writing a Gnu/Linux program to, you know, blend things. Getting 10+ years of running performant Weston demos would be a very distant 2nd to that.
Isn't Google doing the same thing to people who email Gmail users?
There are enough people around the world, who can not even afford a smartphone but would like to have one if they could.

It had Wi-Fi already, you could write messages make phone calls, play some casual games, read e-books, listen to music.

So they probably would be happy to have the original iPhone today, but with software and an open source software eco-system that allows it to still function like the day it came out.

Assuming, we had reverse engineered all drivers, we could even improve it and give it state of the art cryptography for messaging and phone calls.
I had no idea of that requirement, kills the whole point indeed :(

I love Android Pay. If a place accepts it, I 100% use it over a card. It's near instantaneous, it's more secure (the merchant isn't getting my real card data), it's easy for me to audit, and it means I don't need my wallet when I go to the store.
I pay for the WSJ. They write quality articles and I like to know that I'm helping their staff put food on the table.
In the UK, you should really treat overtaking a bike as you would a car. This just doesn't happen in reality. I pretty much got bulldozed off the road only two days back. I'm not a fan so much of bike lanes, but do prefer wider roads.
I'm more excited for the dedicated chip that performs real time hot dog detection!
Why is it "not right"? Can't I be as paranoid as I want when it comes to what I install on my machine? Of course the OP has no obligation to fix this, but I think the parent was just pointing out a legitimate barrier that is worth considering.
Yes, they do. I still have to take time out of my day to audit the cards, challenge the payments, and then cancel the cards and get new ones, and update billpay everywhere else.

How hard is this to understand?
If saving battery life is your goal then run Safari, nothing can touch it. Although Opera does now have a mobile energy saving mode you should check out.
