Absolutely agree. It's funny, first time my boss brought up upping my title my response was "it really doesn't make a difference, but sure that's fine."

Because of my lackadaisical response it never got changed. Couple months later my boss's boss brought it up because they needed it for some form and she asked if I wanted an even higher title than what I was offered initially. I said "sure."

I don't expect much from it, but every stupid signal helps next time I'm job searching.
> move away from the prng included in openssl because it could have bug, could be used wrong, (...) and instead directly use the OS methods of generating randomness.

This could phrased as: move away from a prng that could have bugs, could be used wrong and instead use a different prng that could have bugs and could be used wrong. And each platform would use a different prng.

Put this way, it's not really enticing.
what if you just don't use social media?
No one is talking about giving developing countries a pass until their GDP per capitas are on par with developed nations..

Even with business as usual emissions, China's per capita GDP will maybe be half of what the US's will be in 35 years. I doubt climate mitigation policies would chip away at much of that difference.
Everything is naturally radiactive to some degree, so it will emit some radiation, but ideally at or lower than background levels.
I contacted Kasich in an effort to add Ohio.
Here's a video which contains an argument that the accord is largely pointless, because China isn't just going to stick its head in the sand and go back to a pre-industrial economy tomorrow: https://youtu.be/QOFhpoDY0As

James Hansen, a former NASA climate scientist, previously described the paris accord as "a fraud". He's describing this from the perspective of knowing it's not enough to do anything significant, and incredibly expensive. [0]

Anyone here know a good alternative of chrome based on V8? I personally still can't bring myself back to FF due to V8.
Taxing fossil fuels would speed up the process, but the writing is on the wall when it comes to fossil fuels as a whole. You know when Exxon Mobil and other big players are starting to get into the alternative energy business the tide is turning.
Not every modem can be marked as a metered connection. I'm using one such modem right now. And Windows decides at whim to ignore metered connection settings.
Would be nice if HN gave the ability to delete your account for people who need that option.
What's "good"? If security doesn't matter, for your application, random(3) might do just fine.

One simple way to generate a deterministic RNG is to run a hash or a cipher (encrypting an all zeroes block, or a secret) in counter mode. MD5 of some application secret and a counter might suffice for you (it will be plenty fast).
Absolutely unbelievable. It is just unconscionable to require handing over this sort of information. How do we stop this madness?

Watch while China reciprocates and see how much US business travelers like that.
What if I don't remember what accounts I have? There are so many accounts with so many aliases, I don't even remember defunct accounts.

Also, does email count as social media?

I have talked to other people who found CGI Peter Cushing convincing but I did not. I'm confident I would have picked him out as CGI even if I hadn't recognized him as a long-dead actor. (Same for CGI young Carrie Fisher.)

(Still impressive, though, and I expect the uncanny valley to be bridged within the next five, maybe ten years.)
Why do you visit so many countries?
People won't include the social media accounts they don't want to call attention to.

Net effect:
Not safer as a whole, but we'll see how deep the social network surveillance actually goes and how good the pseudo-anonymous attribution algorithms really are.
Why would she even want to continue working there?

Because she's not independently wealthy. And she's perfectly aware of the negative impact on prospective employers' willingness to hire here -- until and unless she's fully vindicated, at the end.
ZALORA | Site Reliability Engineer | Singapore | ONSITE, REMOTE, VISA

The DevOps team at ZALORA is looking for an additional member.

Automation and availability will be your main goals. You will use Nix/NixOS to glue together a stack of Go, MySQL, PHP, RabbitMQ, Solr and more.

A code review is the deciding factor. You either send in an existing project, or implement our coding task. After that we'll have a call and optionally meet to sort out other details.

Apply at http://jobs.zalora.com/apply/lOd9Ir. I personally reply to all applications.
...So, if I told you the number of deaths per year due to car assembly accidents, you'd call it not useful, because car crashes cause way more deaths?

To be clear, my suggestion would be to google "category error".
These Windows 10 laptops are using a Snapdragon 835, which is a smartphone chip that has just started appearing in smartphones. It's just a bonus business for Qualcomm.

Whether they take off or not will depend on many factors besides LTE. Those include size, weight, battery life, performance, Win32 compatibility, marketing, advertising, availability and price.
Some people, when confronted with a networking problem, think "I know, I'll make my own protocol." Now they have two problems.

How would one define "Capital" in this case? What does this mean?
Actually not the worst per-capita, but I'm sure you have some way to explain Qatar, Australia, or any other country inconveniently higher on the list.

And this is pollution:

Spinning something out is not the same as throwing it away.

Chrome is already 'non profit' because it does not cost money to the end user.
Surfing even more. And much safer.

It's the water temperature and the noise of the waves, which cool you down.
She talked to the press when her allegations were found to be unmerited.

When the company "said" they were unmerited, that is.
What about anonymous social media like 4chan? Would they settle for a list of post URLs?
There are a lot of coal plants that constantly emit a lot of waste into the atmosphere. Nuclear events are, thankfully, quite rare and have been largely contained.

Plus, as bad as radioactive incidents can be, they don't affect the climate. Once the radiation dies down or is mitigated through clean-up efforts there will be no lasting impact on the world. In other words, with the right insurance policy you can recover from a disaster.

Hiroshima and Nagasakia were both deliberately targeted by nuclear weapons and are still inhabited. Cleaning up the mess can be expensive, but it's not impossible.

Cleaning up the mess made by a coal plant is basically impossible, the effects are too far reaching.
I'm no fan of Telsa but I feel like any large company with a decent PR team would be a little anxious with an employee suing you and talking publicly about it.

It's their job to make the company look good so it would seem logical they would want to try and get this water under the bridge.

If they thought it was valid, it seems the PR team would push for settlement without admitting wrongdoing but if they really do believe she is out on a limb, firing her does seems like the go to option and let it go to court to try and clear the charge.
I can easily wrap my cell phone in a Faraday cage that I'm pretty sure can't be penetrated by a malicious (or just nosey) baseband processor on the phone.

It's harder to drive a car when it's wrapped in tinfoil.
The experience I had using pinboard was very similar to what I have using Chrome and Firefox Bookmakers. As I said, I still have saved pages I used in 1996, I have never had an experience of losing everything. So, the only advantage would be the rankings and the tags trends.
What would be the rationale for doing so?

Should we also exclude the half of the US population that uses the least carbon emissions?

I'm not saying that we shouldn't exclude them - these aren't rhetorical questions. I'm just trying to understand your reasoning.
Comments like this have negative value.
"It might require the extreme measure of taxing so much you take wealth from the rich to fund whatever recovery measures you are taking."

Punishing capitalists for creating wealth is just stupid. Let's say you live in country X, and country X does this. Generally there are sufficient ways for wealthy people to avoid being taxed at 102%.

However, in the case where they would in fact have to pay such ridiculous tax rates, they would either: 1) stop working and investing and just live off of their capital, to be exempt from the tax (not great for the local economy + because what's the point / why would I risk my money?); or 2) leave (even worse).

Personally I'm not a believer in that wealthy people will easily relocate when taxes are raised, but in this case, I do believe they would. There's a certain cutoff point where it just gets unacceptable and it becomes a no brainer.
In 10 years regardless of this agreement flyover country will have more renewable energy jobs than manufacturing jobs lol. Iowa, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Nebraska, North Dakota and Kansas generate 25% of their total energy from just Wind and Texas leads the country in total renewables just from Wind. Yes Texas produces more renewable energy than California. And crazy part, this was almost 90% accomplished in the last 6 years only.

These states will turn blue if federal policies harm them. Farms barely surviving put 5 wind turbines on their land and make 50k a year for 30 years. Counties with nothing going for them happen to have the best Wind in the world.
His speeches (posted on his blog) are great too.
The most important reason I continue to use Pinboard is that it's the only service I'm confident won't be acquired and shut down within a week with no warning or no data export. (based on Maciej and his talks, blog posts, etc.)

The rest of the services mentioned in this thread? Who knows?
I think this was more to point out that for those who like the functional aspects of Scala's type system with respect to Java's, but don't like being hamstrung by the need for Java compatibility, Rust has the goods. I didn't read it as espousing static types for FP a priori.
".... and discourage international students and scientists from coming to the United States."

Not just students and scientists - it will discourage everyone from coming to the United States, as if it wasn't unappealing already.

Tourists will go elsewhere. It's good for tourism in other countries.

Important to remember though that these Trump decisions are the will of the people - democracy in action.
Sometimes on say, /r/rust, they get questions from people wondering how to "do OOP" with Rust, by which they tend to mean "traditional", inheritance-style OOP. This leads to Rustaceans having to explain "no, that's not exactly how it works here". I'm not sure that's what GP is talking about, and I can't think of a time when I saw someone really aggressively dissociate from OOP, but it's easy for me to believe that some people might take it too far.
That's looking purely at CO2. Not energy.

I share the OP's sense that this syntax is non-obvious. Could you parse what it means to "capture a value match by reference"?

Agree with all the commentary here but man that is some amazing growth. I haven't reviewed the S1 yet but I'd love to see their churn numbers. Great growth on a leaky bucket isn't good.
Climate scientist here.

I'd love to see more companies and private businesses help solve the climate problems.

However (and this is all just my experience and opinion so YMMV), on an economic level private corporations and businesses are focused on maximizing profit and minimizing costs, whereas public and government projects focus on maximizing benefit and minimizing costs. Not saying corporations are unethical but there could be times when solutions and research interests could conflict with profits or income generation. A public research institute is supposed to provide a "disconnect" between the need for income generation and research so that your results are really focusing on maximizing public benefit.
Good question! That's what immigration will be suspicious about....

$35 per show per season seems very fair to me. I currently pay about $100 per month for cable, Netflix and HBO. We watch far fewer than 36 shows so we're currently paying more than $35 per.
I was a Canadian Permanent Resident and now a Canadian citizen and I needed to provide the last five years travel history more than a few times. I knew this and I kept a Google Sheet with the info from the moment I landed in Canada. Turned out that was not enough: the citizenship application required the list of countries visited in the last five years even before landing in Canada. Doh! I could scrape it together, though because I applied at like 4.5 years in. But 15 years? That is pretty near impossible to put together.

This neglects to account for all the wealth owned by the government.
Twitter is an endless bag of potato chips for the mind. However, it's within our nature to seek the path of least resistance, and munch on snack food to keep busy.

> I'm frustrated and spiteful because I'm an environmentalist

Hard to believe.

> Folks here in DC/MD/VA in contrast profess to believe that this terrible thing is going to happen, but they're not willing to actually do anything that will solve it. Who exactly are the crazy ones?

Classic conservative argument. "I know you all are fake, despite not really knowing you all. This proposal isn't going to work, and I won't show you my alternative plan, but I know what to do. Listen to me! Don't try anything aspirational regarding the environment or civil rights. You'll fail and that will hurt me!"
There's nothing to stop any company from making its own laptops with ARM processors, designing them to run Linux, and pre-installing Linux. You could do it yourself. Maybe this is your chance to become rich and famous.

Social media handles

> The Trump administration has rolled out a new questionnaire for U.S. visa applicants worldwide that asks for social media handles for the last five years and biographical information going back 15 years.

Including social media handles is quite different than what the title implies with "accounts"

Edit: Yay the post title was fixed!
The difference is that there was a focused effort to cleanup after those disasters. Coal plants dump tons of ash into the environment on a daily basis with only lax regulation. Coal ash is intentionally not regulated as toxic waste due to politics rather as simply solid waste.

Thus it builds up in our ground water and atmosphere with no warnings and little community notification.
This appears not to apply to all applicants. From here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/05/04/2017-08...

I prefer the original title, "fuck Facebook"
It also might not be possible to build the system more sensitive. Took them, what, 30 years or so, to get to this sensitivity.

"How dare Facebook provide limited internet to the developing world instead of nothing at all..."

Agreed. The intent and likely outcome of that was pretty evil.

You may be fine with Facebook controlling the flow of information. I'm not. I don't live in the developing world but am delighted to see efforts to that end stifled (where it has happened).

Other than that, as a social network, I don't have a hard issue with Facebook. I'm sure it's fine for lots of people. Friends and family use it and seem to get something out of it. It's not my type of thing so never had an account but I don't perceive it as evil.

I guess I perceive Facebook something like a used car salesman or owner of a dive bar in a bad neighborhood or a porn aggregator. A little shady, probably not to be intrinsically trusted and not the kind of thing I want to be around, but not necessarily evil.
Ah, see, but this is where the communication breakdown emerges.

Most people do not intuitively consider a body suspended in space as a constituency of atoms, with subatomic particles operating in static, yet relativistic motion about a nucleus of protons and the like, subject to such curvatures.

This is where the fundamental shift in teaching the conceptual principles of gravitation and motion need to occur.

Whether it's intuitive or not, one needs to lift away from the concept of the stone moving from point A to point B, and instead, think in terms of a collective glob of photons and other particles being subjected to the same warping of paths that affects the paths of photons, when they transit too close to the sun's gravity well.
You've picked one single response that you don't like. Please read the rest in this thread, and then find a better source because there's no reason to think HN commenters are particularly expert in this area.
Sure we can get into the details of it if you like, my point was just that it's not a trivial cost. It saves you the effort of shopping.

If you shop for groceries once a week, and make, say, 10 meals at home for an average of $4 each, then you're paying Blue Apron $60. It takes me about an hour to go shopping, but I live near the grocery store and enjoy being able to pick things out. Others might be in a different situation and be willing to pay a hefty fee to not bother.
Please read before replying. I have at no point said "These people, they're the problem, and the best way to fight the problem of this group of moderate polluters is for the US to renege on its commitments to fight climate change." or anything that even implies that.

All that matters is getting the biggest reduction as possible in global emissions. We enter into these agreements as entire countries. Any agreement that gives the world's biggest polluter a free pass to keep polluting is useless. If China cuts their pollution in half, the world wins more than if the next 3 top polluters cut their pollution in half.

Try some dispassionate analysis of your own and you will arrive at the same conclusions as me.
This demonstrates that there is justice in the world. I love it.

Been using Pinboard since the strange pricing model. It is the only "cloud" service I use, and ever since I wrote some little utilities for searching the automated backup I keep from the command line, I actually mainly use the service because there are tools for easily adding to the store from the browser and an Iphone app.

In general, Pinboard is my idea of how a successful, solid internet service business looks. Find a niche, occupy it well enough that people want to give you money, and continually make it better for the users. (That last bit is important - Google used to be good for me as a user, but they've "improved" to the point that I don't want them in my life.)
Microsoft has already shown Photoshop running in the emulation and it boots OK. Don't know how much load it will carry but it will run.
Does that have anything to do with transaction settlement or just pure lag?

I can understand an async mode of updates being partially behind but two days seems excessively laggy without a business reason for it.
