That's the way this stuff works, and why it's so hard to fight. Racism, sexism, homophobia, the list goes on. The reason is that bigotry isn't conscious, it's subconscious.
Especially informative was the side comment on what an atomic bomb really sounds like to those on the ground observing from a distance. Forget the media representations (shocker, right?). The all-encompassing, blinding light of the sun part in fictional portrayals is mostly realistic. The sound however, is completely different, and I've never heard a fictional one like it [1], with its higher-toned sharp bang preceding the growling aftermath that is also higher-toned than I expected based upon conditioned memory from entertainment media.

It's like most entertainment media portrayals of drowning: not useful, not actionable, not educational, and not informative; would be more enriching if the entertainment industry reversed that predilection.

That's what OP said.
Actually, I don't think they state that is the only way they find content. I've had plenty of sites with obscure domain names for development and they always seem to find their way on to Google some how.

I imagine in addition to public URLs they also use URLs entered into Chrome (which isn't that public) and since they host DNS they probably crawl domain names requested through them too.

Legally I'm not sure what they stand on to do that but they're big enough now so I guess they don't worry too much about that nowadays.

Did you ever engage a lawyer to review your option documentation?
I went the whole nine yards on that project. I had white (black font) for my own machine, green for development, blue for integration test, yellow for system test, and red for production.

I liked the green / white text theme the most with blue being my second favorite to write code in so those got the ones I would use the most. I was never a lover of the old amber terminals and red is just plain painful to write on. I guess the more pain your terminal causes you, the more dangerous the environment.
The difficulty in this approach is that you have an extremely large number of classes. Each printer is its own class. Typically, as the number of classes goes up, accuracy goes done. That isn't to say it isn't possible, but it would require a lot of custom hacks to any learning algorithm.

Also to convince anyone that it works, you would need to test it out on an extremely large number of printers, including ones of the same model. In practice that could be expensive.

Don't make cold brew that often but I have fine results with filling a french press with coarsely ground coffee, room temperature water and sticking it in my fridge for 18-24 hours.

When it's done I just use the metal filter in the french press to filter it, but this is all assuming you're OK with a tiny bit of sediment at the bottom of your cup.
There's no strawman at all. You stated:

>" Many of the backbones I am intimate with are among the largest in the world and yet have no trouble avoiding congestion through correct provisioning."

I noticed you didn't answer the question about which backbones you are intimately familiar with.
If they are among the largest in the world then they are likely public networks all of which experience congestion at various points.
Hence why I said "value" and not value.
I don't agree. I don't think many black female CEOs could have gotten away with having no real business plan for so long.

Not everything need to be a research or evidence to be compelling. It is just some new thought, some new possibilities, that I find interesting.

>only evidence is that 'rockets are hard' basically, and that the Russians didn't do it..

Well, basically the idea is that if a company can do it without any technological breakthrough, then what is limiting others(Russians?) in the same field? Do these other competitors are not smart enough they couldn't see the possibility, but the average HN or reedit user can see? Just questions..

>30 years of progress

This imply that there is a steady rate of progress.

>The assertion that 'almost nobody outside the USA' will use SpaceX seems odd given that their next launch is for a company from Bulgaria.

The assertion is that "almost"..May be the authors point is that It cannot expect a major income from outside...The next launch is from Bulgaria does not contradict it..I mean, if you are really impartial..
Like half of this was talking about how the male was not letting the female asking the question (the male sounds like a bad interviewer for sure), and the other half was about how everyone 'literally applauded' what the author did. Sadly none of it was about the woman who was not allowed to speak or what she said... I get the point, the rest of the audience didn't say anything, but on the other hand 'literally shaking' is maybe not a reasonable response to someone being (probably inadvertently) rude, really no matter why the person is being rude.

I don't know how to write this without sounding like I in any way would defend sexism in any form, I mean maybe I should show I'm not sexist by piling on the male on stage and breaking out the pitch-fork or something.

> wasn't granular enough to actually block the things I wanted to without breaking sites

I don't understand the criticism: it's no less granular than NoScript. If considering only the dynamic filtering panel[1], it can be argued it's more granular given that one can block inline-script tags only, and also one can block/allow on a per-site basis.

Static and dynamic URL filtering of course allows you to filter on a per-URL basis.

What you have described leads me to think that you want to execute malware in a live cloud environment where you do not have a host/guest advantage and trust to man-in-the-middle attacks on live traffic.

I was channeling Dale Carnegie so as to not completely discourage someone. I can see that this was the wrong approach.

Have you tried Cuckoo Sandbox?
Additionally, if you can find a caf and a decaf version of the same coffee, you can brew half-caf coffee.

The data might be stored encrypted, but Apple seems to have access to the encryption keys.
I've read that they need to be able to decrypt data to be able to comply with government requests.

Here's a little mystery for HN. Have you seen the fictional BBC
segment someone produced about an escalating conflict between Russia
and NATO?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VZ3LGfSMhA

It made the rounds on HN a couple months ago:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14101405

It's the only piece of fiction that has made me feel deathly ill in
quite the same way Threads did.

The video is incredible. It's one of the best pieces of realistic
fiction I've ever seen.

But how was it made? Who made it? And why? I counted at least 10
professional-quality actors with convincing, in-character costumes.
See this timestamp: https://youtu.be/2VZ3LGfSMhA?t=1053

The uploader of the video is "Ben Marking", only 8k subscribers, and
no online presence. They left a comment:
http://i.imgur.com/MJVh31d.png Other than that, no one's taking
credit.

So why make it? It's wonderful art, but is there anything more to it?

Whoever's behind this has also uploaded nine revisions since last
year: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA9r2NNlWMitk1hhR7yj8SA/vid...
including a Canadian and Australian version.
Plus the fact JIRA has extensions such as JIRA Agile, and Portfolio which is really means its becoming a project management tool.

> "you can do immutable/functional programming with regular ol' Python"

One cannot easily and safely do functional programming in Python due it's imperative semantics. For example variables are captured as mutable references and even a list comprehension will mutate its bindings.

If you want to do serious functional programming, use Clojure, Haskell and/or OCaml.

Edit: to the downvoters, it's about using the right tool for the job.
This isn’t my unique thought, I read it somewhere on the internet at some point where it was put much more eloquently, but it makes sense intuitively: The idea is that if you do enough start-ups, one (or if you’re lucky, more) of them will “hit.” I’ve been to a few rodeos at this point in my career. I’ve had one minor hit, and one big hit. It certainly worked better for me than if I’d worked for just cash. YMMV, but I will say not all start-ups are created equal. Sniff out the finances and product viability as much as you can before you join. I like the lottery ticket analogy because it’s true that you’re gambling a bit, I don’t like the analogy because the odds are nowhere even close to the same.
That's a really naive response because it assumes the product is already in people's hands. Distribution is one of the biggest challenges that startups face. Also you can't create something that people love with an MVP for every idea. The original iPhone took $2b to develop. Think they could have made something people love with $10m? Probably not. Some problems are hard, and if you're bootstrapping with an MVP you need to iterate toward product market fit which means you need feedback which comes back to distribution.
(BTW, I found your comments interesting, even as I laughed at how often you were making them. Thanks for contributing, and sorry for getting us both flagged (for IMHO the goofiest possible reason).)
Indeed. The difference between an experienced person a naive one is not that the experienced person doesn't make mistakes, but that they fully expect to make mistakes so they take precautions to mitigate their effects, take measures to prevent them, and minimize doing work that is mistake-prone.
Or that non-assertive women are treated well and non-assertive men are treated poorly. Men have to learn to be assertive to be treated as well as women.

You can see this dynamic in the dating world where non-assertive men are the losers of the game.

The thing is, a lot of sexists may be doing it for the reaction from the target - with no reaction, the sexist doesn't get that 'thrill' that they would otherwise get. If the reward is consistently denied, the behaviour may (may) go away.

It's a fair question in that a student's inability to give an example of an equation that has no solution indicates that we aren't really teaching students what an equation is/means. If one can't instantly give an example of an equation with no solution then they don't really understand what an equation is. Which means something is wrong with our teaching.
I said this elsewhere[1], but its not immediately obvious that you can identify printers via machine learning. Classification gets really difficult when you have millions or billions of classes. Accuracy tends to fall off a cliff.

What would be the motivation behind fabricating a story like this?

I see posts of this nature all the time on r/csquestions. This one just happened to go viral.
I think that's more a matter of what the organizers think is best commercially than a signal that baseball is special. Like many other games, it allows people in a wide range of capabilities to play a game that is enjoyable to watch. That would probably be different if not for rule changes. For example, requiring wooden bats at top level likely was necessary to prevent offense from overpowering defense.

(That may be a somewhat generic pattern. In both tennis and table tennis, rules were adjusted when players started hitting the ball too hard. Similarly, in javelin throwing, the javelin was changed a few times to prevent players from throwing it out of the stadium)
The antagonist was a huge disappointment for me.

Spoiler: In the original the antagonist is basically the singularity, a new form of life born from code. In the remake? Oh, her ex boyfriend.
But is it because of discrimination directly on race/sex or discrimination based on networks or something else, and is the actual factor involved what most people think of when we talk about “bro culture”?
Yeah, the way they neglect their infrastructure is an incredible load of shit. If you have phone service (real phone service; a voip service like the one AT&T tries to push with Uverse is basically unregulated) on the same line and it's experiencing problems however, you can get the FCC involved if they refuse to fix it.
Oh. Well that's true, but I think the point is more like you end up implementing some significant subset of that, except with homespun code that isn't tested as well.

I feel like at least a phone call to a bank would be in order at that point. If it's that simple, surely some sort of mutually agreeable loan could be worked out.

Employees should have ownership over the responsibilities of their jobs, anything more is just altruism.

When a company or overly aggressive recruiter tries to sell me options, that aren't worth anything yet, like it's a billion dollar lottery ticket, that's a big Red flag for me. It says something about the culture of the company.
Has Jim Holt or World Science Festival commented officially after the fact? I would have thought this would be a priority by both parties. I don't see anything, but perhaps i'm just missing it.

About 20% between 2012 and 2014 [1], I actually believe it was much more earlier when few used VMs for production. That meant that a virus could assume that if it were executing in a VM context they were being monitored and altered their behavior to either play nice or distract.

Nowadays a VM target could be just as valuable as any other.

Of course, but remember that you're not being asked simply to fly a plane in a common way or to test some conventional device.

You're being asked to fly into a radioactive mushroom cloud to test if you get harmed or not.

And you're probably not even being asked but ordered, you don't have too much choice.

I'm a hobby coffee roaster and anytime I have an off batch (by espresso or pour over standards), I add it to my cold brew bean bin and get very good results. Can't really distinguish the bean beyond the degree of roast, and mixing the beans achieves some consistency. The only times this has failed me was exploring the very darkest or lightest roasts.

Those 75 data points are not independent observations, because the windows overlap so much. Remember that using "year" as the granularity is arbitrary anyway; if we had daily, hourly or by-the-minute data going back to 1913, then we could have more "data points" but we would not have any better insight or statistical significance into the original question.

My point is that having 100 years of investment data is much more like having 4 data points than it is like having 75 or 75 *12 (if you cut the years into months). Even though you literally have 75 data points, they are pretty close to a copy-paste of each other; not statistically independent.

Depending on the site, even just reading may be problematic. Imagine a webapp where all data is requested and sent as small JSON updates. This is faster and it's less data than full page copies, and can be more targeted to that user.

To build this feature for the tiny fraction of non-JS users, you're looking at duplicating all of this functionality on the server. This greatly increases dev time and complexity of the codebase. It means moving from an entirely API-driven platform to one where your server needs to understand the app logic as well.

Like it or hate it, Javascript is a web standard. You know that websites will break if you disable CSS -- the expectation should be the same for disabling Javascript.
Nonsense. By your statement, the reason it disproportionately impacts women is not because of some rudimentary, fundamental reason but rather because they fail to react the same way the men did and speak up. That lies 100% on the women.

In fact what YOU wrote is actually sexist, since it suggests that the corrective action would be to act differently toward her, but not the men. Perhaps you might merely argue that he should not behave that way to anyone simply because of the disproportionate impact. But even if that's the case, you are still saying that women are incapable of speaking up for themselves the way the men did to gain their voice back from the moderator. How is either of those scenarios not sexist on your part?

I always figured one of the drivers for this was that the NSA basically mandated that this feature to be built into any printers it would buy (or let be bought). The power of the federal/DOD purse is a thing.
