>They'll take the jobs if you pay well enough.

Taking a job and doing it with sufficient attention/quality/skills/etc. are two different things. No money would make most of Americans working 110F strawberry field for any prolonged period of time. Even $1M/day - most would just quit after a week with cool $7M (at least i'd :)

Of course, the immigration system making illegals pretty much slaves is just a shame for a civilized society and has to be replaced with more humane system. We should value and respect people doing such hard and undesirable jobs. Practically it means at least minimum wage and all the labor laws irrespective of status (one of the effects otherwise is just breeding predatory employers and that drugs the society back and lower). And of course the minimum wage in US should already be 2x-3x what it is now (the current minimum wage in US is another shame for a civilized society)

AFFILIATE MARKETING: WORKING AND TIPS TO BECOME a AFFILIATE MARKETER
"Shared source" seems to originate from Microsoft, from the time period before it embraced OSS proper. At least the first time I've seen it in any context was the "shared source CLI", which was released under the look-but-do-not-touch license as a reference implementation to back the ECMA CLI and C# standards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Source_Common_Language_...

That said, it's a surprisingly good term, because it's so accurate - the source is shared with you, but there isn't much you can do with it other than look at it.
I had the impression they were like sparrows in that they swarm all over food sources and are in particular a scourge for backyard birding because they'll kill off the birds you actually want to see (and consume a ton of seed while they're at it).
But in that situation, if the data is mine, I should be able to access it. If they are hiding the data from me so as to not affect my potential relationship with another person, then that is even more ridiculous of a reason to hide the data.
I get the sentiment, but from TFA:

> the parent comment claiming they broke some kind of monopoly is just incorrect.

Are you saying taxis are not a monopoly? Or are you saying ride sharing apps did not break the taxi monopoly? If taxis were a monopoly, and if we are not using taxis now because of ride sharing apps, then it would seem ride sharing apps broke a monopoly.
The other thing is these business offload their costs onto the rest of us. While they enjoy using their illegal immigrant labor, the rest of the taxpayers and I have to pay for their schools, medical expenses, criminal costs, and all the other negative externalities they impose on us. This and islamic extremism will be what destroys the left in this country.

> It's still unclear to me how exactly Uber obstructed the investigation but maybe my reading comprehension is lacking.

Im terrible with dates so stuff like this slips by me ALL the time!

- Monday, December 5th, 2016, the crime

- Uber tells police that they "don't have a record of a trip..."

- March 3rd, 2017. first court date

- April 9th, uber amends statement to the police. We do have records but won't share due to privacy...

You know, telling the driver that they are a matter of a police investigation and that they would be sharing data with them (aka cooperating) would have given uber a leg to stand on. Uber saying "We gave all the info to the police, it is out of our hands, we don't control our contractors" goes a long way in court. Lying, changing your story, tends not to.
that is utter garbage of course

5000 years is a long time. Cultures rise and fall, people come and go, wars/famines/etc. Think about how much things changed in the US in a few decades. There was a time when we used to eat horse meat and there was a time when the idea of eating raw fish would have been viewed as horrific.

I doubt we'll ever find a definitive reason due to the paucity of historical records from that time. But it probably is a mix of change in fads, wars, cultural shift, etc.

Note that you don't owe the company any loyalty (apart from what could be
reasonably expected from a professional), so if the project fails without you,
it's not (and shouldn't be) your problem. If it succeeds, they won't share
profits from it with you. Also, you already sort of want to go elsewhere, and
you even have an offer you want to take, so you have quite solid plans.

What I would do is to explain to the current company your plans and the fact
that you would consider staying, but for a substantial raise, and then let the
company decide whether to try to keep you.

You bring up many valid points.

I won’t say much about crypto at this point other than we plan on having FIPS-140-2 certified crypto in the near future.

Yes, we are using a new protocol, but I don’t agree that it needs to be a full IETF standard. We are working within the standard IP 99 protocol. A protocol is just another piece of code, just like any other part of a systems code base. It just happens that this code talks to code on another machine. Should IETF or others review all code before using? Has all the code you use been so reviewed?

We don’t know if there is a protocol error in the definition of our stuff. If we did, we would fix it. What we did is a careful analysis and design of a highly constrained solution that was then carefully implemented and tested. That’s about as good as a human constructed machine can be built. If errors are found as the protocol is used, we will fix them, provided they are revealed to us. That’s the problem with cybersecurity, you never really know.

You need a peer review of a protocol. OK, but I ask again, does all your code need such a review before you will use it? Or are you singling out network protocols? BTW we are considering making this an open standard for the language and the wireline protocol, but we need to see how this plays out first.

Respectfully, I stand behind my statement that a system can’t be proven secure. I understand that there is a lot of good work going on in provably correct systems using formal methods. And I think that they will help greatly in making systems more correct, but they will never ultimately prove correctness in the mathematical sense. Take the Erlang code, how do you know it’s design is correct? That is, maybe it does exactly the wrong thing. Or that the code testing the Erlang code is correct?

Black box testing is the place to start. Then progressively lighting the testing, from gray to white box is usually recommended. Yes, testing is not perfect, but has defendable arguments about its correctness. Hence, the movement to use test-driven development.

Yes, there is a chance that our product will get hacked. But, that is not the issue. The issue is: will that take more effort, time, money, and resources to do than for what is being used today? We think the answer is yes.

Whether a protocol, or any code, is published or not, it is still vulnerable to being hacked and that hack being kept confidential. The effect is the same.

MQTT is a good example. The payload can be anything, including malware, as in the example where a client gets compromised. Our protocol is highly restricted so that secretly passing malware in a message is highly unlikely.

Again, respectfully, I stand by the statement that security is based on trust. Proof has to be believed to be useful, so you have to trust the source of the proof, and who provides it.

Overall, we believe that our product is simpler and less error prone to configure, and less vulnerable to exploits then assembling all the technologies that have been mentioned here. We are providing just one piece of a cybersecurity framework that only covers controls network communications, as part of an overall cybersecurity plan.

Sepsis now dominates the hospital ICU. It is what kills most AIDS patients too. Antibiotic resistance is driving costs.
The ICU is now 40% of US hospital budgets.
This is bankrupting state and federal budgets.

Is there a D IDE with good code completion and refactoring support? Last time I tried it, all that I've seen were pretty bad at it - handling the simple stuff fine, but breaking down on more complicated stuff, metaprogramming especially (kinda like most C++ IDEs did 8 years ago or so).
That's right, it isn't black and white. There isn't one knob to turn. If you read the visa regulations, it looks perfectly fine. But "body shops" game the system. Because, short of litigating every job description, there is no visibility by regulators into job requirements and whether applicants meet those requirements, H1-B has hijacked for the purpose of wage suppression.

There's also no bright line between the generally bad actors and the good guys. Even R&D-oriented high tech companies that often use H1-B for the intended purpose of importing otherwise unobtainable talent also use H1-B (and other methods like anti-poaching agreements) for wage suppression.

Reform needs to be flexible and enforced by financial incentives, like auctioning visas at a high reserve. It does not need to be cheap for employers.
Maybe, it is very likely that NYC rides need to be propped up with incentives by ridesharing companies. We won't know the economics until somebody tries to IPO or shutters their company.
The Marketing Guy already has access to hundreds of fonts with thousands of variations, I fail to see how this will make a difference.
For me, it's the opposite actually. "We have a monolithic php thing" seems to signal "We made an MVP, found traction, and have been too busy to start from scratch". In contrast, "We have ultramodern microservices" is depressingly often code for "there's no real business here, so we have all the time in the world to polish the tech".

With the former using "old, boring" tools, as they have been battle-proven time and again, and the latter using $dailyhype, as that's the thing that looks best on your CV right now.

I guess this comes down to personal preferences, and whether you value the tech environment, or the business environment. I'd rather do unexciting work in a profitable company, than exciting work in a company with a writing on the wall.
I've always had to !g for programming I wish there was a !code option that would improve searching for code / programming related searches or something?

> What a wonderful way to add massive complexity to font rendering while delivering spectacularly little value.

I'll attempt to explain the value, because I don't think this demo is doing a good job of showing that. parametric and variable fonts might seem like "pointless sugar," but it's the combination of mostly two things that make this a huge deal: responsive typography for better legibility, and reducing the number and size of font files served over the web.

let's say I have four font files being used on my website -- regular, bold, italic, bold italic. let's say that's 50k per file, so 200k for four network requests. with a variable font, it's maybe ~70k for a single request. that's a huge improvement, but it's not even all that these fonts offer.

responsive typography (adjusting for the right font weight and characteristics depending on the size of the display) is very important for legibility.[1] The slick ultrathin fonts that look good on a 27" 5k display are unreadable on a smaller display. fonts optimized for body text look terrible when used at large sizes, hence the existence of "display" typefaces. there is so much bloat in having tons of different files for this, when the libraries that interpolate fonts in font creation software[2] can be used on the fly instead of during a compilation step.

font rendering is cheap, sending fonts over the wire is not -- so when you frame this new font tech as something that is just as much about speeding up the web as it is about speeding up the design process, it's a little less pointless.

> If a word has two definitions that have opposite meanings, then the word literally doesn't have any meaning at all.

First, this is wrong; many words have multiple meanings some of which are diametrically opposed; they still have meaning, though it may take awareness of context to interpret the correct meaning.

Second, its irrelevant; the different meanings of “literally” are not opposites, though the figurative use (which does not, contrary to some descriptions, mean same as “figuratively”) is often presented incorrectly in a manner which suggests that. The figurative meaning is a qualitative intensifier applied to another figurative description which the speaker expects is clearly figurative from context, not a description which communicated that that use is figurative rather than literal.
I'm not sure why you seem to deny the possibility that capitalists are concerned with future profits as well as past ones. You say their reason was not lack of profit, based I guess on the fact that they haven't suffered any major setback beyond their normal lack of profitability in the past couple of quarters. That's an oddly restrictive definition.

Capitalism is about future profits, by definition. I can't invest money in Apple in 1997. I have to invest it today, and my only concern is what happens after that investment. The Uber boarding kicking him out is entirely a capitalist reason. They've invested money, and his presence will (they believe at least) negatively affect the return on that investment going forward.
Ron Paul Liberty Report-Security or Surveillance? The Edward Snowden Interview
TL;DR: wheat beer ("weiss beer" in German) was already made in China 5.000 years ago.
Two diametrically opposed quotes from the article:

"Employers find the H-2B program expensive and bureaucratic, and tend to reserve it for hard-to-fill jobs that are critical to expanding operations." (American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy, 2011)*

vs.

"In the Pentagoet’s case, that’s meant six women from Jamaica (about a fifth of the total staff) who work in housekeeping and in the kitchen."

Are housekeeping and kitchen jobs hard to fill, critical to expanding operations, and worth significant investment? I'm just confused about H1-B in general and what it's supposed to do. Bring high-skilled workers? Provide cheap, seasonal labor? Both?

*Paraphrased for readability. Original quote hedges the conclusion.
Thank you for the kind words. It is interesting that everyone has a slightly different set of requirements for apps like these.

Maybe it is my unwillingness to learn how to work with different apps. For a time I was happy with WalletApp but at a certain point they migrated Categories and sync stopped working properly and there were discrepancies between my and my partner's lists. Also, lots of functionality I wasn't using.
Measure Job Satisfaction Instead of Software Engineering Productivity
To butcher an LWN quote, "there are potentially millions of buggy programs, but only one kernel". It's a measure to prevent a class of exploit, rather than depending on people writing safe C code (which I believe decades of software engineering have proven we are collectively incapable of doing).

If they are correct it looks like a badly designed ICO and a badly behaved miner are the causes of the crash.

A couple of points....

If this was a mature market, like say the US equity markets,

- mostly likely some trades would be busted and

- if this was indeed caused by a market participant behaving badly, they would be punished and possibly have their access pulled.

Assuming the above is correct, how do you police miners in a distributed market with no central authority?
Yes, but the packet replay protection is due to the sequence number of the packet that happens after the session is established.

BTW, our technology uses pre-shared keys.
According to HN commenters in China, Didi understood that government employees needed a standard voucher so Didi made its generation automatic in the app. UberChina apparently never did.

It was used as an example to illustrate that Didi did the little things that remove friction for its customers. Didi also recruited drivers in smaller cities; its coverage was superior to UberChina's.

No we didn't. Exaggeration is a normal part of language, and every strong-sounding word will be "misused" for effect sometimes. "This heat is killing me", "I'm in love with this ice cream", "I swear to god...", etc. It's almost always clear which version of "literally" someone is using, and I suspect the exaggerated usage is as old as the word itself.
It could eventually be an option I guess, but it would require anyway to recompile all code.

As always in such cases, to validate binary libraries, they need some kind of metadata to indicate they are safe libraries (aka they only use of @safe or @thrusted code).

.NET does this with MSIL metadata, Modula-3 does it directly on the module definition section, for example.
This is very good advice. And learn the basics of JS before you learn ES6. ES6 is mostly just shorter ways of writing things you already could with ES5.

yup, the vast majority of these unregulated ICO's are borderline fraud and stand only to hurt the ecosystem which they're trying to enrich. I expect there will be a heavy correction towards the end of 2017.
I wish they would have evaluated the effect of dynamic pricing. That is, showing different prices to different visitors for the same product. Perhaps not enough online retailers employ the practice, although it seems to be an important tool for retailers like Amazon[0].
