Amazon? Spotify? Square? Grubhub? Robinhood? And probably lots more. You can have respect for people and laws and still succeed.
This seems like exactly the sort of thing they won't have the dedication to support for very long. $5k for this thing is quite risky in that sense.

edit: Oh, it's actually over $6k if you want the rolling stand, which you will.
Detail worth knowing: under the EU warranty the first year is covered by the manufacturer, the second by the reseller. If you buy a MacBook outside an Apple Store, after the first year you're supposed to bring it back to the place you bought it. There is even a difference between ordering it online through apple.com and buying it at the brick and mortar Apple Store as those are legally not the same. In practice though I have never had a problem having it fixed on the spot at an Apple Store but this is mostly because Apple cares about their customers.
If article 5 is invoked and the US doesn't do anything then NATO is gone.

After that US influence in the region is going to be pretty much gone.

EU plotitians are going to be much more open to Russian world views since they will not gamble their security on US internal politics.

The exact same thing happened in the Middle East under the previous administration moving Russia from a loud but mostly sidelined actor to the main stage.
sighs wistfully I still remember the first day I was able to exit vim without looking it up. It's right up there with that one time I wrote a function that compiled and worked on the first try.

Good times.
When 90% of the people around you are all wearing some shade of blue jeans, its a bit the same as everybody driving around in cars in some shade of grey (which they do at least in Belgium).

That is, it's just really boring. Colour is one of the few things we've got to express ourselves, so it's a shame we don't use it more.
My point was that neither AI group shared any play history at all, even when Kasparov asked specifically for it. If the AI is so good, what do they have to hide?

Lee Sedol won a game too, so perhaps if he had had similar level of play history as it had for him, he could have discovered and exploited its weaknesses.
I mostly use Facebook to look at the recent submissions in the Deep Learning group. I mostly come to HN for SV gossip, and to stroke my ego.

Perhaps instead of trying to see the differences, you should look for similarities. For example, how addictive is the site?
This is a good point. But same goes for other sensors in cars. I always wondered how annoying AF ultra-sonic sensors are for dogs. It looks like most ultrasonic sensors are out of range for dogs, but the ultrasonics for sure mess with bats. I wonder how bat populations will be affected when all of these ultrasonic sensors mess with their ability to hunt.
I <3 Codewars. This tool is what really helped the concept of functional program stick for me because the most elegant and simple solutions were invariably written in the declarative style. This made me envious and I studied them religiously. Slowly but surely my confidence in FP grew with each challenge. Recently I began reading SICP and programming all of the exercises in Scheme, a dialect of Lisp. It all just fell into place like the last corner of a solved Rubik's Cube. I owe it all to Codewars!
The fall of reading books has probably not been as dramatic as many people think: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/10/19/slightly-few.... I know modern society gets a lot of grief because everyone on the train and bus has their nose buried in their phones, but from what I see is there are still a lot of people reading print books, and even flipping through broadsheets.

> Plagued by the realities threatening many retail stores, Sears also faces a unique problem: Lampert. Many of its troubles can be traced to an organizational model the chairman implemented five years ago, an idea he has said will save the company. Lampert runs Sears like a hedge fund portfolio, with dozens of autonomous businesses competing for his attention and money. An outspoken advocate of free-market economics and fan of the novelist Ayn Rand, he created the model because he expected the invisible hand of the market to drive better results. If the company’s leaders were told to act selfishly, he argued, they would run their divisions in a rational manner, boosting overall performance.

No, they lost because their military power wasn't sufficient to impose their view of "rights" onto those they were fighting.

Again, we all likely agree that there is a moral imperative in play here that slavery should not be tolerated. And had the South won, I'm sure the guy being whipped against a post would be super comforted by us sitting around talking about his universal human rights. He could think about them to take his mind off the lashings.

I'm not arguing that rights have no conceptual existence. I'm arguing that conceptual existence isn't the existence that really matters. It's all lovely for me to say that anyone has the right to draw whatever cartoons they want, but there are 30 million people in Saudi Arabia who would rightly call me an idiot. The actual existence of the right is not some airy concept that I just get to define because it pleases me. It's a very practical thing that affects people's daily lives, and I don't get to declare otherwise just because it suits me.
Google has an amazing list of discontinued products:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_products#Discon...

I'm not saying it's terrible to buy Google products, but maybe wait until it's a success first. There is very little reason to risk being an early adopter of a Google product.

The recent Google Home (not a cheap product) advertising snafu is another recent red flag for buying any Google product.

Edit: Parent originally commented about 'getting over Google Reader being discontinued'.
Fun exercise. Thanks for sharing.

I'd suggest fine-tuning the question about hashes. My first impression from reading the code, specifically the name user_submitted_hash, was that we were looking at some sort of client-server system where the hash was being calculated remotely and then submitted instead of the original credentials, and that this was a question about not trusting the client. Even without that, in a client-server system the attack you give as the mostly likely wouldn't make much sense given randomness in network latency, so the misunderstanding about the context still breaks the question. Maybe a little more context about how this hypothetical function would be used would help here?

In terms of the presentation here, if you want to show the answers immediately for each question, you might also like to provide some sort of confirmation button. It's frustratingly easy to hit the answer next to the one you intended, particularly on mobile devices. If you're also keeping statistics based on earlier attempts by other people, this is probably distorting your numbers as well.
Microsoft's version has apparently been selling like hotcakes, so i guess it is a type of collaboration that people really do.
Server backups are pretty easy to test in this era of virtualization. (I know, not everyone does it, but at least in principle it's pretty straightforward to mount a duplicate VM and test one's backed-up data. Good way to test config management systems as well.)

But how does one test restoring personal data? I'm guessing that most people, like me, don't buy duplicate laptops just to be a platform for testing their data restoration protocols.
I see the author recently (1-month ago) re-implemented the Lilly language in C (It seems to have originally been written in Rust. In effect this is a completely new project based on learning from an older very similar project. Making a such a fundamental switch in the implementation technology is likely to have a negative impact on on bug count and stability that the author refers to. (Netscape went out business because they tried to re-write their browser in Java.) The solution here is for the author to realize that this is a new project and treat it as such and not worry about the state of bug count/stability too much. He probably just needs to soldier on to complete the project to their satisfaction.
I can attest that you are not the only one. Don't know python either, Nor should you need too.

I tried to use it on top of my Ubuntu install to manage dependencies, and the very first thing I wanted to do didn't work. I wanted to set up Java so I could run Clojure, and the version of Java they build can't make any https requests. There was also a subtext of "you should just build everything in Guix; don't use leiningen or maven". It was pretty disappointing. I hope they can get things to work better; it would be fantastic to have a declaration of all the things I want to install on my computer.

Ask HN: Why did Snap IPO?
Seems like they could've raised from the private markets if they'd wanted to.
I don't believe missing the value of new technology can be relegated to "societies of the past."

Personal computers and the internet both had really slow starts, for two really big examples.

I'm sure there are technologies sitting around right now with vast potential that our society doesn't value.
I don't think its weird. I went from jeans to khakis and now I'm back to jeans. I do think the production process changed and newer jeans seem cheaper and itchy. Weirdly, when I went back to jeans I switched from Levis to Wranglers and some of those seem decent and some really suck.

I would love to hear your feedback on the new Surface Pen features. Keep up the great work!
Uber's work place shenanigans have been a open secret for a while now. People either didn't believe the rumors or thought it wouldn't effect them in their role. Most people didn't care about the rumors because of the Stock packages they gave out. Now that IPO's has been delayed again, all the bad press, massive losses, IP theft, Uber F'ynees, etc people don't think it's guaranteed pay day that it used to be perceived as. A lot of my peers have been contacted by Uber recruiters lately, half of them straight up said no, the other half ignored their linked messages.
Water does absorb infrared well but it's not because it has lower energy. Infrared is absorbed well due to the spectrum of vibrational transitions. Ultraviolet is also absorbed well, due to electronic transitions. There is a "window" in the visible light that is not absorbed well by many transitions.
> All the Levi's I tried seemed weirdly high-waisted

This is surprising to me. Most contemporary Levi's I've tried seem quite low-waisted, so I'm forced to buy vintage for a more traditional high-waisted fit.
For what it's worth, we run our interviews in the language of the engineer's choosing (including clojure), and get people jobs at Clojure and Haskel and C++ companies. We went with Python for this (toy) quiz because it's the most common language we see among applicants. I tried to add comments to explain anything python specific, and make the question about the underlying logic. But it seems it's still easier for Python folks.

They can ask for logins for the vaults they see on your device. But those vaults are the ones you've marked "travel-safe", so you're accepting the risk of these being breached by invasive governmental searches.

However, non-travel-safe vaults a) won't show up on your devices, so they can't ask for what they don't know the existence of, and more importantly b) there is no evidence on the device of "hidden" vaults, or that you're in travel mode, so they doubly don't know the existence of those vaults.
I swear it feels like the next story we are going to hear out of Uber is how Travis had to discreetly dispose of a rhino carcass by dumping it in the bay...
In the 3rd question, if you give the wrong answer, it says Java is pass-by-reference as well, though IIRC it is always pass-by-value. Also JS passes primitives by val as well if I'm not mistaken.

> first scale vertically (buy better machine)

With tools like message queues and Docker making it so easy to scale horizontally you don't even have to go vertically.

We just won an industry award at work for a multi billion data point spatial analysis project that was all done with Python scripts + Docker on EC2 and PostgreSQL/PostGIS on RDS. A consultant was working in parallel with Hadoop etc and we kept up just fine. Use what works not what is "best".

Edit: A dumbed down version of the Python/Docker piece for anyone interested (https://medium.com/@mbaker/horizontally-scaling-gis-python-a...). It's really easy to scale horizontally with Docker...
I heard they are less touristy on Slovak side.

I have written hundred+ line awk programs. For stream text editing it is excellent at what it does and it's install base is huge. Rarely do I encounter a *nix machine without it on there.
What I find interesting is how is this localized to one area? Is it an error in NYC tax law calculations or something? Seems that they are talking about the base fare calculations and you would think those would be somewhat general across several areas. Even if they run multiple algorithms some other city must be running something similar with the same error?
Any subscription-based 1Password can be accessed from the web. Couldn't they just demand those credentials?

Do you truly believe that being really good at CS will magically make you a skilled programmer?

Are they not different skill sets? One is a practical skill, the other an academic one.

I've met "programmers" who had depth of theoretical knowledge but couldn't code their way out of a paper bag.

I've watched online lectures where Doctors of Computer Science lecture about OO but clearly have no understanding of what works and what doesn't.

I will concede that being good at CS will give programmers an advantage in solving problems in a subset of domains.

I suspect I could add the word small to advantage and subset and that statement would still be true.
Something that works well for a desktop with a large monitor, keyboard and mouse doesn't necessarily work well for a tablet with a relatively small touchscreen and vise versa.

> My point is that just because something has a steep learning curve, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad design.

It does if the app is aimed at companies with high turnover where said learning curve poses a continual problem for users.
> I've literally NEVER seen actual ML work done in either language at either of the 2 companies (both big 4)

I work at one of the big 4 right now and almost all the serious ML is done in C++ and Java. Python is purely used during exploratory phases and even that is being phased out. Most of the other things I said aren't even controversial so I'm just going to ignore you from now on. Enjoy thinking Python and Go are well designed languages.
Yes, google discontinues products. Sometimes they're even products I like, and it makes me angry. But reading this thread on every single discussion about any google product is getting tiresome.

At $200 you can buy Outlier pants (or Mission Workshop, no experience with those though). At $400 you can buy freaking Arc'teryx Veilance pants. That's way too much for something that is just cotton (and not even etaProof or anything interesting).
Save time switching branches with this Git trick
It seems like most of what I read in first half could be done with an app for seller, an app for buyer, a traditional database, and regular currency. There's already ticketing software in existence that people actually use. Improving it in ways described in article without blockchains should get more take up. Even logging for verification, popular with blockchains, can be done with a signed, hash chain + 3rd-party, trusted timestamping.
Unrecognized right is still a right, just a breached one. That's why the whole concept of breach exists that is separate from enforcement.

Distinction you posit is in fact between a priviledge and a right. Priviledges are bestowed by a form of governance, rights exist regardless.
Perfect is the enemy of good. My Fitbit counts steps, but it isn't all that accurate from an absolute standpoint. Still, I find the day-to-day variances interesting.

Same goes for blood glucose monitoring. I'd like to see if I can find correlations between my mood, productivity, sleep, fasting, etc... and my blood glucose levels. Like step tracking, the absolute number doesn't matter.

Cook has already said that blood glucose measuring would be useful for people before they have diabetes. That's what makes me think it isn't necessarily a medical device they are building. At least not for version 1.

The last article is one of the things that would be super interesting for me to see. How do blood glucose levels change when I drink a diet soda vs water, for example.
Seems like you could spin up a side project business that has a simple solution to their problem but charges enough to soak up their whole budget. Everybody is happy!
How is the web interface handled? Essentially, where do you turn this on and off? Wouldn't it become standard ptotocol to just demand web credentials for 1Password? This feature is only for subscription based 1Password accounts, so it would seem to me it would just be easiest to delete the app and re-download after crossing?
Has it always been that way though? I remember when they first launched in SF, and I remember drivers being pretty excited about how much they were making driving. I remember talking to some folks who also drove taxi, mentioning that Uber paid them substantially more.
Fascinating indeed, thanks for sharing it
Yes, I got that inpression in the moment watching game 4 last year: "We will never see this again." It remains to be proven empirically but that's why we're here.
Shameless pitch:

Google BigQuery has a 10GB free storage tier and a 1TB per month query tier.

If your data is small enough, you get a fully managed "serverless" analytics database for very little, potentially free.

Google is more hesitant to stop something once they retrieve income from something. Google Apps (now suite) even has customer service that you can call.
I think we're arguing at cross purposes because you're talking about legal rights while I'm talking about the philosophical concept. Even if my rights are universally denied, I can still assert their existence, and insist on exercising them, as long as I'm willing to pay the price of fines, incarceration, or life - and there are many examples of this in history.

For context, I also hold the position that while being incarcerated obviously limits your physical liberty and maybe others, true liberty is a a state of mind; if you both take responsibility for acting on your authority and consider your incarceration unjust, your psychic liberty is intact and can't be mechanically confiscated from you. This might seem like a meaningless distinction, but the consciousness of one's fundamental freedom is what sustains many political prisoners, and conversely what authoritarians most fear and work to suppress.

How to Quit a Job
One of the things I see in your comment that marks you as more senior is you didn't say "push it out" on the fix but "see how / why it didn't work, trying again". Just because you wrote code doesn't mean it needs to go out, just because a systems isn't to your brain's pattern doesn't mean it needs to be gutted and aligned with your brain immediately upon encounter.
Wouldn't an alternative "destroy everything" password be a good idea also ?

Would work like this : When forced to enter / give the password to your vault, you enter/give this one, and everything the vault contains is wiped out before the vault is unlocked.
Lack of understanding of string escaping.

- Trying to remove/escape "bad" characters on input or thinking that only "user" input needs escaping. This means anything that slips past the filtering can do unlimited damage. Any "special" characters get lost or mangled in uncontrollable ways. The right way is to escape data on output.

- Thinking "escaping" is one universal thing that can be done in advance. This leads to HTML-escaped text in email subjects, SQL-escaped strings in HTML, etc.

- Forgetting that nested contexts require multiple levels of escaping (e.g. an URL argument in string in JS in an HTML script tag requires URL-escaping followed by JS string escaping followed by HTML-script escaping).

- Voodoo escaping such as `sprintf(buf, "cmd '%s'", arg)`

Judging by other people's comments, this would be a good quiz if it was written in their favorite language.

The quiz doesn't seem too hard to port (ha, I've heard "it won't be hard to write" before). I think that a good approach might be to let the user see the code in multiple languages via tabs or an interactive select element, like the MSDN docs do.
