wow "14 other competitors in the umbrella-sharing industry"

So how do the others do it?

I could only imagine some simple number lock unlockable when you scan a QR and pay a deposite, but I don't know how return could work. Maybe it could be verified by someone else unlocking it from the same place you claimed to have left it? And if nobody ever unlocks it, because you just took it home, it flags you as a thief after 3 times?

Or slightly snowbally: you pay 5 dollars to get an umbrella with a number lock and only get it back when someone else rents it again. This way you have to make sure to put it where it gets used.

Ah, dedicated stations of course work, but take away some of the organic simple nature http://umbracity.com/

edit: one with number locks: (I wonder how the return works) https://www.shanghaiexpat.com/news/umbrella-sharing-comes-sh...
For music, the place for discussion OF music (rather than about making music) is /r/letstalkmusic, which is actually one of the highest quality discussion subs I know of. It's got a relatively slow but incredibly high quality stream of discussions, of all aspects of music history, various bands, philosophy and psychology surrounding music, etc.

For music discovery, /r/listentothis is alright (although it has declined greatly since becoming a default). /r/listentous is sometimes much better and sometimes much worse, by the nature of the sub (elected recommenders). The real best places for discovery are the genre-specific subs however, i.e. /r/metal, /r/futurebeats, etc.
I'd be wary of moving the crypto into the OS, because OS upgrades are few and far between. Browsers are easier to upgrade, as we know from the rather aggressive auto-upgrade cycles of Chrome and Firefox, whereas if you have bad and/or now-known-to-be-insecure crypto in the OS, well, you're stuck with it for the foreseeable future. People are still running Windows XP.

My 2015 macbook pro will hit 150% CPU on basic SVG animation via CSS properties (like rotating an SVG element by setting `transform: rotate(90deg);`) even when using the best practices described in the article.

This means long, slow CSS animation absolutely kills browser performance. Independent of your opinions on animation in the browser, is there a less CPU-intensive way to do SVG animation?
A unikernel is running a single process in a single address space. So yes, if you compromise the app you compromise the whole system but the whole system is the app.
> they could have bought Instagram, What's App, SnapChat (if you don't think these are news networks then you've not been paying attention).

They aren't news networks. They are social networks that carry news. That's the main problem news organisations face - news is no longer an individual destination for users, it's something they pick up with other content. Any news organisation that bought Instagram would never have been able to execute on it, because its strength was always in social connections, not in delivering news.

People rightly criticise news companies for their "outdated business models", but I'm yet to see anyone propose a modern business model that would actually work. When the bulk of traffic comes from Google and Facebook (I don't realistically see how anyone could have stopped this from happening) you're stuck chasing clicks no matter what. Subscriptions help you earn money, but they drastically cut back your reach.

I don't have any particularly good answers myself, but I really, really don't like the world we live in today where clickability is the primary metric of success - it leads to overhyped outrage and outright fiction being posted to people's walls every day. And FB and Google sit on top of it all earning more and more money. They have no incentive to change anything.

A successful and free press is in every citizen's interest, but today's business environment makes it all but impossible to succeed.
What are your thoughts on newer recurrent architectures like the DNC (or its predecessor, the neural Turing machine)? While the demonstrated results with DNCs so far are pretty limited, it seems that they embody a push towards allowing a neural network to actually "think" over multiple steps: storing complex information, formulating a plan, and acting on that plan.
Tell me, how do you do mutual recursion in a single-pass define-before-use compiler?

Launch HN: Guilded (YC S17) – Power-Ups for Gaming Teams
Sparse Travelling Salesman Problem
Stripe strikes global partnerships with Alipay and WeChat Pay
Hi HN! I'm Eli, the founder of Guilded (http://www.guilded.gg), part of YC's Summer '17 batch. Guilded helps online gaming teams recruit, improve, and compete.

I've been a gamer my whole life, and I made Guilded because I was tired of using clunky website builders, random recruiting forums, and Google Calendar/Docs to manage my teams. I thought it was kind of crazy that in a world where hundreds of millions of people play team-based online games, it's still hard to find the right people to play with, still difficult to collaborate on strategies and organize your team's schedule, and still hard to find the right competition for your team. Players are stuck with whatever tools the developer was able to fit into the game (often none) or whatever forums and game-specific and platform-specific tools have come along.

Guilded launched recently and is still in beta, but over the last two months, it's become the most popular recruiting platform on the web for Overwatch teams, and has picked up a lot of traction in some MMO communities as well.

I'd love to hear your thoughts/feedback/questions!
Who pays? Goog & fb?

Study Finds Temperature Adjustments Account for Nearly All of the Warming
It is a broken system but community colleges are made for people like this. It doesn't take 40k in student loans, it takes 2.5k in funds over 2 years which you can piece together at a minimum wage job or if you really need to take out as a loan. Then you've got an associate degree and half of a bachelor.

How expensive is community in Cali?

It does seem the system isn't made to inform people of their options.
Well, I don't know anything of the quality of hn, but if you are interested in analytics we could kick off one.
You are missing the point, all things equal of course people will want the vastly more expensive luxury product. That has nothing to do with how good Tesla is at making things. Regardless of the appeal of the Model S, Toyota is much better at making cars in volume than Tesla.

Similarly, I'd rather have a McLaren than Tesla (or Toyota), but that doesn't speak anything about the talents of either firm at mass producing cars.
In any kind of user-facing support role, not trusting the user's account of what happened is rule #1.

You're right.

I think I'll make the game for now, polish it, etc. I'll make the LLC if I'm ever ready to release. If I make any money at all, then I'll trademark.

Game mechanics might not be able to be protected, but I'm worried that wouldn't stop some other major game company from bringing me to court to try. If a game is similar enough to an existing game, they could have a case.

like the hoax of recent satellite observations being remapped upward to show increased heat lead by a member who has no expertise in the area? it was predicted many years ago that even those who were in the field would be forced to change their numbers to be in agreement, instead someone else stepped in and did so.

hoax or fraud, some of what both sides qualifies. the trouble is there is so much money at stake that it corrupts research.
Keyword here is "automated". Quoting, "In the end, the Verve design, implementation, and verification described in this paper took just 9 person-months, spread between two people". This is considerably less than, say, seL4, which took 20 person-years(!). Well, seL4 is larger than Verve, but still.
Isn't there some GNU tool that can automatically generate invoices and cheques?
This is a huge screwup on the part of the people who run the 'root' of .IO, and their entire operation should be severely scrutinized by ICANN.

In my opinion almost all of the 'weird' TLDs which are country codes that are actually operated by a third party commercial service are 95% spam and junk registrations. .TV is a good example.

Technical screwups aside, the existence of .IO and the fact that it "belongs" to the UK government is morally questionable, since the entire country code only exists because the British and American militaries forcibly removed the original inhabitants of islands such as Diego Garcia so that they could use the area as naval and air force bases.

If I had been able to successfully register these names and get live traffic going to a BIND9 instance, my first instinct would not be to alert the company through its first tier customer support levels, but to immediately post a summary of the problem to ARIN, RIPE, APNIC and ICANN mailing lists. This would get the issue in front of people who immediately understand how serious the problem is, and hopefully one of them would be able to contact the principals of .IO directly.
My phone contract costs me 25 pounds a month for an iPhone 6s (new at the time). With an older iPhone, that would have been closer to 15 a month. (Which incidentally is the sim only price of the plan I'm on).

Regarding vehicles. There's almost certainly a bias there. I'm on foot at the moment, and looking at the main road in front of me, the majority of the vehicles are 6-8 years old small to medium care, with a more modern saloon being more common than an SUV.

However many people rely on cars, and unless you're clued in it's easy to overbuy. If my car broke down today and i needdd it to get to work, my options are (broadly) buy an 800 pound banger, buy a 3-5k 5-6 year old vehicle or buy a new vehicle. If I have. O money, then buying an 800 pound banger isn't an option. I don't know where I'd go to get a loan for less than a thousand pounds, other than a payday loan company, or possibly a credit card. Meanwhile, I can walk into my bank ask for 5000 pounds for a car loan and leave with the cash in my account, with no deposit, no security. Funnily enough when you look at the repayments of one of those loans, they come out at near identical to a PCP (or PCH, not sure which) lease agreement on a brand new car, probably a model or two better than the one I could buy with a loan.
This is not true at all for most forms of cryptography. Hash functions and symmetric cryptography are just shown to be resistant against all known attacks. For public-key cryptography there are sometimes security reductions to computational problems that are thought to be hard, but even schemes like RSA do not have such a security proof.

In the old days they used to say "First babies can arrive whenever they want, the second baby better take nine months". Which is to say they knew unmarried people would have sex, but any girl that got herself pregnant was expected to marry the father before the baby was born and stay married.

This has been going on for years. I can't find the particular listing anymore, but I once went searching Amazon for an EnOcean (wireless protocol) motion sensor and found a phone case with a photo of a motion sensor on it.

Presumably most of these are never purchased, but they generate thousands of listings and print them on demand if one ever gets an order.

cali community college is around 500-600/semester in tuition. you can get the tuition waived completely if youre from an economically disadvantaged background.
There are other companies like Google that first require you to set it up over SMS before they allow you to add a security token.
You can already buy that service, there are probably dozens of startups that exist or have tried and failed and some established names in certain areas. It might even be a perk in some housing complexes. I think Google even offered/offers it as a work perk.

Let those who want a service pay for one, and those who don't not. Let's have a mixed free economy, not a centrally planned one with a bias.

I had to RMA 3 Nexus 6Ps. I'm not sure if it was bad luck or the 6P just had a bad build quality. The first one the backwards facing mic died causing it to be the world's most expensive text messaging device. The second had a battery issue that caused it to be a brick for about 2 days (this happened over New Years too). The third, bootloop.

The process is relatively painless, with the notable exception being the 2nd time my Nexus shat the bed. It is unreasonable to tell a person "You have to live without a phone for a week." when they rely on UBER/Lyft for work. I had to buy a $100 burner Android. I'm sort of hoping I have a problem with my Pixel. I accidentally chipped the screen at the gym, and it bothers me slightly.

It's a UI around the Mapnik raster map rendering engine and the CartoCSS styling language. The idea is that you write your stylesheets and see the map's appearance change accordingly. It was originally developed by Mapbox, but they've since moved to vector rendering.

In both cars and people I would ask the same thing: is there a 25-35000 miles option too ? Too low is worse, and 20 is a sure indicator of big problems. So is 200,000.

Look for a project that holds your interest and that has bugs which seem within your reach to fix or it has missing functionality which you would use (and be willing to implement). If you're not looking for a coding role try to lend a hand with what skills you currently are trying to build.

One project that I'm currently maintaining first caught my interest when I tried to connect a MIDI piano up to a Linux system and I found several of the open source options had issues compiling. At that point I submitted fixes to get it working to my satisfaction and I have continued to help improve upon it since then.
"No system calls"

Yeah, they're direct function calls now. How exactly is that more secure? The author's right that many traditional exploit paths are gone, but only because they've been replaced by even easier ones.

I saw a commercial for this on Bloomberg TV today. It's the first time I've heard of it and though the idea is interesting, the website and descriptions it provides makes me wonder if it is a viable company.

The proposition they make in the commercial is that there is no need to launch satellites when every airplane can carry a wireless node.
At some stage we'll hit a tipping point where most posting traffic across the internet is created by bots. Already we're reading bot curated news, looking at bot analysed kitten pictures, and now bot created products.

1) Yep, and you'll be locked up if you murder someone. Someone with dementia or frontal syndrome after a stroke or tertiary syphilis may become paranoid enough to cause/contribute to violence, but we don't lock people up based on diagnosis.

Nobody is locked up simply because they are diagnosed with a "mental illness" which is what you apparently want people to believe - you edited your parent comment, where you claimed that a diagnosis of schizophrenia was grounds for 5150. It's not.

2) No, there is no opinion about "good or bad" in diagnosing mental illness. The almost ubiquitous criteria is significant impairment - which almost always is an impairment the patient themselves identify (not someone else) and are seeking help for.
Well, if the issue is the exact definition of "homeless" you're perhaps right.

But the real problem here is that a significant number of CC students don't have a stable home life and this WILL cause serious obstacles for the completion of any academic program.

Very few people are actually "live-on-the-street" homeless, but housing insecurity starts having negative impact long before they're literally on the street.
I was thinking for a bachelor's degree, and in that instance at the community colleges + cheap state school you're looking around $10-20k for tuition plus ~four years of living costs (assuming full-time). You could do it for less, but there's no question it's a lot if you're making minimum wage.
When a company says, "we can't find enough good developers." To me that is a huge red flag and makes me look for a few things.

One it might say they have so much tech debt they need an army of programmers to maintain it. willing to bet good programmers stiff this out quick.

Second they are doing recruiting all wrong and/or have some senior guy that asks some dumb riddles and if people get it wrong or mess under stress they don't offer a job to them. I have been to so many job interviews like this in my career, where they have a programmer on staff with a huge ego and it shows in the interview. I never even entrain an offer if I meet anyone like this at all.

Third, which was cover heavily in comments here is salary and benefits. It isn't always salary either. I have take less money for more vacation time and other great benefits. I like to look at the big picture, not just the salary, as long as the total package is within the average.

Last and I think the most important is company culture. I think you can have all the others correct but if this isn't working great you will just keep losing people. It only takes one bad apple at the company for this to drive people away. This is the hardest to see and fix, especially if it starts from the top management.
Couldn't you just use letsencrypt to create arbitrary SSL certs for the io domains you now own? Then https isn't going to help you much.

I doubt those two people have actually taken truly meaningful steps, unless they're powerful politicians, business leaders, or high up in a relevant regulatory agency.

This is the root of the problem: the actions of most individuals don't matter no matter what they are. Let's say I switch entirely to renewable energy, stop eating meat, buy local food, and do every other thing possible to reduce my footprint. Great, now I've added, what, an extra half a second to the time we have before catastrophe? It just doesn't matter.

Everyone working together is what makes a difference, of course, but that's hard. It's not just a matter of convincing everyone to act individually.

Though translateZ() or translate3d() will still be needed by some browsers as a fallback, the will-change property is the future. What this does is that it promotes the elements to another layer, so the browser doesn’t have to consider the layout render or painting.

> Every time I ask, people come and say but... but... international transfers! and I point it out that for that transfer the sender needs to buy bitcoins, transfer and the receiver needs to sell them because there is no legal, useful application of it :) And this is untenable, you can't have the receiver go through hoops to receive money.

In my experience designing these things, 1-2 hours only provides enough time for very simple assignments, which aren't enough to actually inform the reviewer much at all about you as an individual.

It's hard to get one at 4 hours, but that provides just enough to really see something while still being respectful of candidates' time.

Of course, this is entirely dependant on the type of programming that you're hiring for!
