This happened to us in mid May 2017 coming back from Germany to Philadelphia. Lock step herded in snake lined queue, camera kiosks posted as confused passengers deciphered touch screen directives to scan their passports and stand for a photo. Each machine had what appeared to be cat5 cable and power routed to the wall. After what appeared to be a cheap thermal printout of your mug shot, passengers were instructed to take it to a human agent for further processing. The most interesting aspect of this was the big sign of NO cameras or smartphones allowed despite it being quite easy to see passport information from adjacent stations. I assumed this was the new National ID effort to put an end to any enemies of the State. After all this, there was the CBP agricultural inspection and a security check all this from direct debarcation. Basically you are trapped and there is no way of escape from these processings. Welcome to the new State.
I use the standard keepass 2 client on my windoes machines, and keepass2android on my phone. Clients only access the file via ssh to my server at home so it doesn't require storing the database on other machines.
I'm an artist who makes math and physics visualization sculptures, I LOVE taking notes on 18"x24" drawing paper with a combination of colored pencil, fountain pen, and gel pen. For long derivations rather than notes/sketches, I prefer 11"x14" drawing paper in two columns because I think it's more comfortable to work with, but it still gives me that bird's-eye view of everything I want if I go back and color code stuff. A lot of my work is done in regular size sketchbooks, though.

Tell HN: I want to teach you finance. In 30 mins. For free
(Title is meant in honor of DevBootCamp, I figured I would put this up and see if there is any interest.)

Working on a fintech idea? Thinking about actively investing some of your savings for fun? Want a free phone consult?

I am a CFA/CAIA business school/MFin grad who has worked across roles in central banking, investment banking, a >$10bn hedge fund and a fintech startup with some free time coming up.

I've always thought it would be cool if people with different skills could just exchange them in a free phone or skype call. No strings, huge upside value if the advice helps solve a near term problem. For me, I just want to talk to software engineers and founders to see what is interesting.

What do you think?

Anecdotal but this has happened in a startup I was in called artwork evolution. We were hit with a lawsuit that asked us to fork over for adding a link to the App Store requesting a review. We ignored them and ended up disbanding before they brought us to court, but the letters were real and they were very scary.

It's not surprising that Trump rails against the mainstream media when it's becoming increasingly obvious that the news is written to rile people up and get clicks. The news is like professional wrestling - there are heroes, villains, story arcs, winners, losers, and the more you understand a topic the more you realize the press gets it completely wrong. But maybe it's always been this way, and I wasn't as aware before.
Anyone interested in machine learning for audio (or any other signals) should keep a close eye on tf.contrib.signal. I just checked in some code to do efficient framing, windowing and overlap-add. In a day or so I'll be checking in an STFT and inverse STFT with GPU and gradient support, so you can make an STFT part of learning (not just an input pre-processing step). Please file bugs / feature requests and feel free to CC me (also rryan on github).

I don't really get this attitude, what's wrong with reverse engineering?

I would really like to get opportunity to work with reverse engineering microchips using some reasonably good tools, and I really have zero reason to do it except that I think it would be super-fun!
You can also bet a pretty penny that the first thought that pops into my mind when I see 14nm and 3D X-ray in the same sentence is: That would be awesome to reverse engineer some chips with! Not that I have the skills, not the time.

Figuring out how things work is just fascinating to bothe me, and a lot of other people. Doing it (nostly) without the plans is the only way it can be that real, and fun challenge for me. It's similar in character and as subversive as solving crosswords, or riddles at it's core. Since we don't go about complaining about people solving crosswords, why do reverse engineering always get so much flak?

It's almost literally the engineer version of crosswords or sudokus.
That might be due to some some high IQ folk deciding it was more profitable for them to delay removing lead from paint and gasoline.

The brain damage they caused with lead not only lowers IQ but increases compulsiveness and correlates with crime when the exposed child reaches the peak years for criminal behaviour.

The question then arises whether the criminality is the fault of the poisoner or the poisoned.

You should pump that website up a bit and make sure to name drop people who use it, though I appreciate your humility in that way.

Anyway, awesome work
If that were a complete accounting of the variables then yes, that is what I would be saying. That is not a complete accounting of the variables though.

It is harmful to the public interest to allow a company to use its monopoly status as leverage to monopolize other markets. Facebook is competing for image messaging in the same sense that Lance Armstrong was competing in the tour de france.

Monopoly is the degenerate case of capitalism, and this kind of behavior by monopolies is how the degeneracy reproduces.
Ask HN: What was your acquisition/acquihire/golden handcuffs offer?
There's been a lot of of great threads on salary/compensation, but there's very little info on startups that got acquired/acquihired, especially CEOs, CTOs, and other key individuals.

A friend of a friend apparently got acquihired by Google and was getting $500k/yr in stock on top of base, which must have been at least $200k if not $300k.

I'm sure the following info will be very helpful for many of us in the same position:

- Acquisition size ($)

- Equity % + payout

- State of startup (fundraising, failing or not, # of years, team size, etc.)

- Role in startup

- New role in acquiring company

- Did the acquiring company keep your product?

- Acquiring company (if you can say)

- Compensation package (base, signing bonus, annual bonus, stock, other special benefits, etc.)

- Handcuffs (vesting, clawback, performance-based earn out, etc.)

- Did you negotiate your golden handcuffs? If so, please explain.
The interviewer's clarification of context (in Chinese) http://www.open.com.hk/content.php?id=44#.WWoeRjcRWrw

The interviewer says “colonial” is an expression and sarcasm. It’s Liu’s writing style. It’s said to him as he’s Liu’s editor and long time friend, so he understood what Liu meant. Liu did explain what he meant in an article sent to him in 2007.

Some excerpts:

1. “由此可見，劉曉波的意思是要在中國實行英國在香港推行的資本主義政策，起碼需要三百年，才會變得和香港一樣好。他並不是
要中國再去當誰的殖民地”
Liu meant China can benefit from westernisation like HK, he didn’t meant for it to be really
colonised.

2. “為甚麼搞「一國兩制，港人治港」？皆出於此：香港人認為殖民地好過共產專制...”
How to view colonisation is a debated issue in HK, Liu pick it up as he just arrived there.

3. “曉波從北京發來一篇〈我與開放雜誌結緣十九年〉稿子。文中主動談起八八年那次訪問，寫道... 他說，一句「三百年殖民地」
的即興回答，成為中共迫害他的「典型證據」，但他不會為自己辯解，「特別是民族主義佔據話語制高點的今日中國，
我更不想收回這句話。」... 他用一句話來解釋那犯眾怒的「三百年殖民地」之說。即「中國的現代化需要經過長期的西化過
程方能實現。」”
He sent me an article mentioned the 88’ interview. He said the prompt answer has been used as
an accusation against him. Yet as China’s nationalism is now the highest moral, he will not
take it back. In the article he explained “300 years’ colonisation”, as “China’s modernisation
needs a long process as westernisation.”

4. “劉曉波被稱為「黑馬」，那放言無忌、一針見血的表達方式，已成為他的標誌… ”
Liu is an abrupt literature critic. Sarcasm is his writing style.

As a native Chinese, I think Mr. Liu is a rare hero in China. I didn’t think or hear much people was still fighting for democracy in Mainland, since the 89’ Tiananmen crackdown. For it’s risking your job, freedom and putting your family in danger. Not until I heard of Mr. Liu and his persistent work. It’s so sad most of my countrymen don’t even have an access to know who he was and what he really did. Due to the censorship in Mainland, you can’t find any concrete facts about what he did on the internet. Most people searched to know him from “baike”［1］，Chinese equivalent of wikipedia. It only mentions his “colonial” comment, offers no facts about his pro-democracy work. I’ve heard college professor who doesn’t know how to use VPN to visit internet outside China asks “Who is Liu Xiaobo? What did he do except making the ‘colonial’ comment?” No wonder some of the hatred towards him. Yet his relentless effort kindled a fire in those who still wish for democracy in China. Just hope his work will be known to ordinary Chinese other than the ‘colonial’ comment in the future. He will be judged fairly and get the respect he deserves from fellow countrymen.

No, I'm saying that if they're going to fight for anything in their government, it's not going to be this first.
Synchrotron lightsources are a dime a dozen. For real power, you want a free electron laser. The Linac Coherent Light Source at SLAC (right in Silicon Valley's back yard) pumps out an X-ray beam with about 750,000 times as many photons per second, and in pulses that are about 200 times faster.

There are about as many styles as individuals if you go in Harajuku, so not sure if it makes sense to try to classify them at all in the end. It's changing constantly too, and while there are always trends there is a strong chaotic element to it.

Links to comments where I've shilled for them? I generally try to refrain on commenting on Uber except occasionally to add simple factual corrections, such as the one about Salle Yoo being promoted to CLO.

What I am happy to comment on however is disclosing which of the commenters critical of Uber are critical because they have an undisclosed conflict of interest, such as yourself.
Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for your thoughtful and informative comment. I think we agree to a large extent. The intent of my reference to one of the aspects of the effort to dethrone the standing societal order in France was not to imply that it was the only component of these efforts.

I feel we don't have the necessary insight into the mindset of the society at that point in time. It seems perfectly unremarkable that a subset of society of that time would find the standing order, the role of the Church, and the monarchy as stumbling blocks to personal and collective ambitions. It seems equally unremarkable that the connected members of this subset would work together to do something about it! So yes, the path to the revolution may have begun as a comedy of errors, but at some point very organized and ideologically coherent forces assumed controlling interest in the unfolding of the events. It was an organized affair, without a question.

For some its hard because they want to help somehow but don't understand the structure. If you can get to the point of creating a patch in the right format someone needs to accept the pull request. The barrier is too high for most so most work on there own stuff and publish to github.
Can someone explain how this can affect to projects using react, as in a part of a product of a company or personal projects? Thanks

I found this [1]:

> FB is not interested in pursuing the more draconian possibilities of the BSD+patents license. If that is true, there is actually very little difference between BSD+patents and the Apache license. As such, relicensing should make little if any pragmatic difference to Facebook.

So what happens if Facebook doesn't change the license and in the future changes its mind?

I really look forward to using this. It would be a great help to mobile users if uneeded options, e.g., 'header', could be made to disappear to save screen real estate.
I wasn't trying to belittle the complexity or versatility of audio software at all. For brevity's sake I didn't mention other input/output formats, because my point isn't that the domain is limited to "stereo" or "audio", but merely that it is a specialized domain.

> Ignoring evidence in front of your face

Do you have an example of a complex UI built entirely with Reaktor?

By the way it looks incredible, I've owned an old version for years but never tried it. Is it really that much better than SuperCollider once you get into experimental stuff? I'm really surprised to hear that it goes all-in on the interface and doesn't have any "write code mode" unlike like most graphical programming environments. Users are asking for that, of course:

The other side of the story - US and NATO tried to overthrow the Turkish president, and turn Turkey into Syria, 2 times in a row just recently. They also attempted to start a war between Turkey and Russia just before these attempts.

Now that this has all failed, and Turkey is aligning with Russia geo-politically, this does need to be taken into consideration when talking about propaganda and what really is happening.

I really have no idea why react is so popular with such a silly license.

I agree with this move.

There are plenty of OSS projects out there without patent thing attached to its license so no reason to use react.

More strangely, not everyone can open a pull request. I can understand not everyone being able to merge but not being able to request a merge? Is say your team was better than what I witnessed even when they didn't have version control.

I agree. In the standard Racket IDE you get automatically the initial

line, and in some variants for students the equivalent line is hidden. So I had to try a few times until I realized I forgot to add this line. https://tio.run/##K0pMzk4t@a@ck5iXrlAE4Sh5pObk5CuE5xelKP3/Dw...

Another improvement could be to show the debug output automatically. I didn't understand the problem until I read the error message.
>(HINT: It doesn't, look up the LSE's study about it)

Hint, besides a brief stint in the 60s-early 70s, the LSE has for many decades be an establishment institution. It's not going to rock any boats with its research. It's like expecting the bankers to be critical of the banking system. Using immigration to bring cheap labour in has been going on since at least the industrial revolution.

What can they really do at the state level? I believe patents are a federal issue. I'm not sure what a state law can do about a patent troll trying to enforce "their" federally granted patent rights.
Facebook relicensed RocksDB to dual Apache and GPLv2 3 hours ago: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/2589
Regardless of how exactly it's presented on any specific occasion, it is unfortunately very clear that several prominent first world political leaders now believe either that they can have their cake and eat it when it comes to encryption and online security or that enough voters are ignorant enough to believe that even if the politicians know it to be untrue. Either way, this is not a healthy situation, and either way, it reflects very poorly on the political leaders in question.
In the discussion they say RocksDB will be relicensed under dual license Apache 2 and GPL 2.

There's already an issue [0] asking them to consider doing something similar for react, and Dan Abramov said he'd route the request internally on the next work day.

I can't imagine they'd keep the existing license without harming their community image. But even if they keep the license, many applications should be able to easily migrate to preact [1] and preact-compat, which provides a react-compatible API.

Hopefully they relicense the project. It seems like it's the first thing that gets brought up each time react gets mentioned.

I dunno. It's part of their identity. It's just different.

It may be uncomfortable for foreigners to know how to navigate the different aspects of their society, but it's theirs and when I'm there, I adjust to them, while keeping my own. It's a balance and for me it depends on how much time you want to spend over there and in what manner.

If you're on assignment for a year or two, sure, make friends with other ex-pats, make superficial friendships with the locals. But if you're going to stay a while, forget the ex-pats, get engrossed in the local culture and adapt to it, make local friends, learn the language and culture. Not saying go native, if you were to have children there, that would be for them to do (as much as they can fit-in), but don't stick out like a sore thumb out of spite.
Interesting perspective, but I don't think it makes sense to take sides politically in this argument.

All media is sadly going this way, the argument could also be made that link bait titles are partly responsible for Trump's popularity. ALL media is sadly going this way. If you think Fox or Drudge or whatever are above these sad tactics, look closer.

I'd like to ask the bigger question of, how do we fight/protect agains this?
I've worked on-site in my own private office, in cubicle farms, in open office plans, and (most recently) 100% from home... I vastly prefer my current situation. Subjectively, I feel more productive, though that's almost impossible to verify objectively. Here are my "must haves" to be successful working from home:

- A private office, especially if you have others in the house

- Being "away at the office" (e.g. uninterruptible) in the eyes of your family during work hours

- Healthy social outlets

- The ability to focus by turning off slack/phone/email for chunks of time without suspicion

- Not being the only (or one of a minority of) remote worker(s)

- A self-motivating, disciplined personality

- Good communication skills, and regular upward communication (e.g. showing/telling your boss what you did)
