How often are browsers affected by 0-day exploits these days?

I they are not, wouldn't using web-applications and keeping your system up to date solve the whole issue?
It's Independence Day weekend. They're giving the writers a break, while republishing old stuff to keep the content flowing.
Akin to Windows SmartScreen and stuff, I expect Microsoft to offer the whitelist as a service. Obviously, they wouldn't want to cause extra headaches in getting Microsoft Office and the like to have access to your documents.
This is a reasonable question. I'm not an expert by any means, but the difference appears to be that with a pre-order, you have some right to own something in the future, and an expectation of delivery. If delivery is not received, you might expect a refund.

When you buy a new coin you get the right to use that coin in some future micro-economy. What rights and expectations go along with that purchase? What if the micro-economy doesn't value the coin the way you originally thought? What if it never materializes?

Both pre-orders and ICOs can be scams. The difference with ICOs appears to be an added layer of misdirection that could perhaps enable more successful scams.
Yup. I can't even imagine how cheap, efficient and reliable electric motors will become after the kind of engineering effort applied to ICEs is applied to them.
The problem I've had as an employer on Angellist is that the posting has a clear 4+ years experience requirement and I'm inundated with fresh coding boot camp grads. It's gotten to the point that I don't even check it anymore as I am yet to receive a quality candidate after hundreds of "interesteds".
Living on the beach is overrated + I really hated my time in south east asia.

A lack of intellectually curious locals + too much 3rd world bs to deal with.

I'm rather poor in an overpriced first world city with a good community than rich in a 3rd world country, but that's just me.
SmartThings | Software Engineer | NYC | ONSITE | INTERNS, Full-Time | https://www.smartthings.com/

SmartThings is a consumer IoT platform company, owned by Samsung.

I work with a small team in Manhattan (out of a Samsung accelerator/incubator office) on home video camera integration, and we're looking for some sharp engineers to join the team. We work with Python, C, Go, gstreamer, web services, mobile apps, networking protocols, and video formats ... but you really don't have to know all those things, just one or two to start. What you really need is curiosity and a strong ability for self-directed learning.

Contact me to get the process started, or with any questions: pierce.lopez@smartthings.com

SmartThings' main engineering offices are in Minneapolis and Mountain View, and they're hiring there as well: https://www.smartthings.com/careers

Also the motivation is to make an opensource IDE that's not managed by one company in particular like vscode&microsoft or atom&github...

The end goal is to have something that has its governance managed by a fondation and that multiple entities can contribute to.

Don't let the byline fool you, this is a rerun from [2012].
Alpha is the error rate of the binary significance test if at all. Not related to any of the observations.

However, since p is a loglikelihood ratio, it is related to the observation and null themselves.
To get actual likelihood you need to exponentiate, know the degrees of freedom and know one of the actual likelihoods. (Typically null is easier to come by as the other side is assumed to be null+treatment.) This exact likelihood is of course tiny. Which is why inequality is supposed to be used.

The process is not valid if any of the test's assumptions is violated in a big way.

Other than this, all the points are true.
Curious as to where you'd consider moving to. Nearly everywhere has educational standards. It occurs to me that Saudi Arabia might not for foreign nationals, but that would be a heavy dose of irony.
> it's been decided that it's in the best interests of society that you don't do that job.

Remember that what has been decided, and what is actually the case, are not always the same. That's why people advocate for changing the law. OP thinks the law is too restrictive; saying "well that's what the law is" is not much of a reply.

SEEKING WORK - Harvest, AL USA, REMOTE preferred.

PhD in quantum optics, 10+ years with Python.

Over the past two years I have had the pleasure of working as a remote contractor to help stand up two different Python/Django products. In both cases, I became the primary developer in terms of the volume of contributed code. Both products became multi-million dollar commercial successes as we built them.

I'm now working full time on my own project, a machine learning-based math education app built on Postgres/Python3/Django/React. This will likely be a long term project and I'd like to lengthen my runway and get a little extra interaction and entertainment by adding up to 20 hours of contracting per week.

My rate is $100 per hour. Contact me using my gmail account. My gmail username is dhbradshaw.
Version badge for your GitHub project
No, the parent is wrong. Maybe on Github Forth interpreters dominate as people's pet projects but there's a good chunk or niche of the embedded industry writing real Forth code every day for new things, not just legacy support. But their code usually isn't on Github. It's a great language for bare metal programming and quite readable, unlike BF which is intentionally unreadable. Forth was designed for low level really (edit: though I remembered there's this if you want an idea of the philosophy http://thinking-forth.sourceforge.net/), I think it's less suitable for higher level general purpose programming just for its untyped nature alone.

https://www.forth.com/embedded/#Annotated_example_source_cod... contains a version of the canonical washing machine program.

You can then look at the definitions for 'WASH' and 'SPIN' and 'RINSE' and so on until you get down to what IO bits you're turning on or reading when and for how long.
The "calories in/out" line also ignores that the "calories out" part varies extremely. For example, my mother has two bum knees from a lifetime of sports activity that now prevent her from engaging in most strenuous activity, and an under-active thyroid. She's also post-menopausal, so her overall metabolism is super low. She literally cannot lose weight on anything more than 1500 calories per day.

"It's just a matter of willpower"--as one of my sibling commentors so thickly puts it--is theoretically true, it's just that a lot more willpower is required out of some people than others.

> So if you don't use everything, your resulting Jar will be smaller

I'll admit that I'm not super well-versed in Java packaging, but I kinda assume that typical jars do not include any bits from standard library, so modularizing standard library wouldn't have any impact on jar size. I'd imagine that the effect would be instead visible for self-contained distributions, like e.g. docker containers.
"Annual reduction of 17 million metric tons of CO2, which is, based on the central estimate of the social cost of carbon, "equivalent to an annual global benefit of $700 million."
Annual reductions of "10,000, 10,300, and 1,200 metric tons of SO2, NOx, and PM2.5, respectively ... which provide annual domestic air quality benefits of $890 million."
Annual water "withdrawal and consumption savings of 294 billion gallons (0.8% of power sector total) and 7.6 billion gallons (0.5% or power sector total), respectively, with much of those savings located in drought-impacted California."
It's worth keeping in mind that the somewhat clinical phrase "domestic air quality benefits" is another way of describing fewer kids having asthma attacks, fewer adults missing workdays, and fewer people dying of respiratory and circulatory ailments.

It's also worth keeping in mind that none of these social benefits are priced into the cost of solar; it is not compensated for its "positive externalities." If it were, it would knock almost 5 cents a kilowatt-hour off the price, which would mean the Sunshot cost target was already achieved."
Can you show in real code, what you mean? From the text you wrote, I cannot grok it.
> a YouGov poll this month found that nearly two thirds of American adults would personally be willing to try MDMA, Ketamine, or Psilocybin if it was proven safe to treat a condition they have.

This seems very dubious. I find it hard to believe 3/4 of the population has an interest in any intoxicating substance let alone that trio. Do 3/4 of American adults know what these substances are and how they work, let alone what they do?

Now try to imagine 3/4 of the general population on a high dose of psilocybin experiencing ego loss and the related 6 hour mental colonic of tossing every possible skeleton out of their brains closet.
You've got the right idea. Hyperledger and R3's Corda [1] are where it's at for distributed ledgers (fast and cheap, as you say). Blockchains add censorship resistance and that's their primary feature, not a weakness as you state. You can put in ledger entries and know that no one will arrest/kill you for it, and because anyone in theory can be a transaction validator, all ledger entries get validated. This means the tech is not useless but it's a whole different market. Hyperledger and Corda are to make the existing financial networks more efficient. The blockchain is a new financial network for censorship resistant transactions (think activism, capital flight, buying drugs, scamming people, political donations, etc.).

I follow a simple principle: keep a seriously great work ethic, and don't sweat what you don't know.

Trust me when I say most "innovation" -- aka the stuff you might not understand right away -- is really just a re-hashing or re-packaging of something that's been done before.

Getting "up to speed and being current" doesn't require first-mover advantage. Use your work ethic to learn something when you need.

It would be interesting to know why you think that. IIRC, I talked about "if you are a victim of sexual harassment" and carefully avoided gendering that part. As best I could, I framed it as "Currently, men are primarily the ones in positions of power and we currently have a climate that is actively vilifying men in general and I would like to not see us keep going down that road." Given that I am advocating we not go down a route of witch hunts actively looking for men to accuse, I don't see how I could have written that part without gendering it at all.

So specifics as to why it sounds that way to you (or anyone who felt it sounded that way) would help me improve my writing.

Thanks for commenting.
From these comments it looks like HN is now behind the times. HN crowd seems totally ignorant of crypto space, economics, and where it's going
Could be worse, like a circulating recipe how to completely remove VSS by removing system files related to shadow copy services, or something like that.

This is cool. But I also feel, this would be so much better if I can add multiple text elements so that I can compare different fonts as well.
I imagine Office, VS etc are too big to "port" to Appstore model. Also people still use these applications in Windows 7 and so that would mean having two parallel versions of the same app and release features and support for both.

I don't know how you did it. Every bank I went to asked me for 2 official ID documents (which I didn't have).

Getting a social security number was not particularly hard

Having no credit history was a pain in the ass.

DMV was annoying.

That my wife could not work on my visa was a problem.

The green card process was long and painful. Showing your genitals to a doctor to get a residency card was an unexpected and unpleasant part of the process.
False argument between gambling vs. investment. It's more of a continuum of risk. Gambling is seen as high risk, and long term investments are seen as low risk.

There's a huge area in between, and where you place a particular activity on the continuum is largely a judgement call.

Heh. Have I told you about my Sillycoin ICO? Wait, don't go...

I realized that pg has some bitcoins, so it's a stretch to say he's just gambling and not investing. But Bitcoin and Ethereum seem to attract huge numbers of get-rich-quick people that try to convince others the flip is real investing.

Using Haskell is more painful than any type bugs it might help fix, no thanks. One can write correct code without a type system to guarantee it for them, we're fine doing this rather than dealing with said pain in the ass type system. Haskell is not my idea of a good programming language, it's not what I want from a programming language, it's not conducive to how I want to program. It's an esoteric language for a reason, few people like it and it'll likely remain that way.

Only about one in a hundred planetary systems would be properly aligned to be detected by Kepler. The purpose of Kepler is to gather statistics on the frequency of occurrence of different kinds of planets.

2700 confirmed planets out of 145k monitored stars indicates that planets are very common, around most stars, since there are an estimated 270,000 planets of similar type in that sample that just have inconveniently aligned orbits.

Similarly, 30 confirmed near-Earth mass planets translates to 3000 per 145k stars (nearly 2%!), and thus literally billions in our galaxy alone.

Facebook | Solutions Engineer | Menlo Park, NYC, Paris, Dublin, Dubai, Tel Aviv, Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong | Onsite

Solutions Engineers at Facebook spend roughly half their time working with product engineering teams and writing production code. The other half of their time is spent working directly with partners to develop and execute their Facebook technology strategy.

We find that this setup is great for engineers that want to spend more time on the business side of things or have more people interaction while still being hands on with code.

This allows large advertisers to work directly with people at Facebook that have a knowledge of the ads codebase, and Solutions Engineers can implement great suggestions made by partners.

More about the role is available at https://www.facebook.com/careers/life/solutions-engineering-... .

Yup. They do this often, sometimes citing non-existing policy, sometimes not. I doubt the author will get access back, but you never know. As far as I can tell, he has zero recourse against Amazon. The lesson should be not to use Amazon's services for anything critical like running a business or sites with users without being aware of this risk. The risk is not Amazon-specific at all, although it is higher with Amazon than with most providers as they have been closing accounts at will for well over a decade and don't seem to be on any path to slow down or stop.
