ICO Problems: Double-Check Where You Are Sending Your Money To
Kotlin is pretty much a startup thing still.

Maybe now with Google's seal of approval more customers will be willing to sign off contracts delivered in Kotlin.
One important point is that Labview is proprietary and expensive and Python is free both as in beer as well as in freedom. Many people already know Python, so supporting Python on embedded systems opens up a whole new field for tinkerers.

I feel that more options for embedded development are always better than fewer options. Personally I'd prefer Rust or Ada over Python, but other people like dynamic languages better.
I was surprised to hear this, since there's already a rail line from DC to NYC. But maybe that's why they're so receptive, and 30 minutes is a whole lot better than 3 hours. I hope this succeeds, I'd love to see some lines between cities without rail connections.

Bocadillos seemed popular (in Pamplona) - are those not typically eating during lunch, or are they just created for foreigners to eat in the street?

The 1Password situation is complicated, and is a lot less sketchy than Bray's summary would lead you to believe. 1Password has not in fact phased out their native applications or required people to use 1Password.com to store passwords (it would be insane for them to do so).

There are four issues that I'm currently aware of with 1Password:

1. They've converted from flat to subscription pricing.

2. They're pushing people to a 1Password-managed cloud sync system instead of the a la carte sync they were doing before.

3. They're promoting cloud vaults and hiding local vaults, and the Windows version of 1Password has apparently never used local vaults.

4. Now that they have 1Password.com, first-time enrollment in 1Password requires you to interact, once, with 1Password.com.

Of these, only (4) is a serious security concern. Their last release further eliminated the native app's dependency on 1Password.com. I'm confident they'll get all the way towards decoupling them, but I'm not them, so grain of salt.

I have no relationship with 1Password other than as a happy customer and as someone who does research in the field they work in. Having said that: I strongly recommend that you be very careful about what password manager you choose to use. The wrong password manager can be drastically less secure than no password manager. I recommend 1Password, and there's currently no other commercial password manager that I recommend. I'm sorry I can't go into more detail than that. :(
What dietary changes did you make to get rid of your acne? I've experimented with a few things and have had relatively good success, but a purely dietary method seems healthier.

I don't really notice much fat being burned on a keto diet without regular exercise.
I cannot say enough good things about TDD, but YMMV. I also don't stick to it always... it's just that when I take the time to, my code clearly ends up better. I would imagine it's even MORE beneficial in code that deals with a money...
How can you talk about 1Password but not KeePass?
So you work in your free time. :)
At our company we use keepass2 with a db file synced by dropbox.
Works nicely. Keepass can save all sorts of stuff alongside passwords (like credentials, api-tokens...) and there is an app too (for android at least).
Might get a bit clunky if lots of people change a lot of stuff all the time but for us it is not a problem.
Unless you already have a good rapport with the person, I wouldn't suggest intervening right away. You should get to know them a little more first.

Once you know them, as someone else in the thread suggested, be positive and offer to help. "I see you're doing X. There's a great blog post/paper/etc about that! I'll send it to you." If they come to you for advice, don't tell them what to do to solve the problem. Ask them questions that might lead them to finding the answer themselves. People feel better when they feel they were able to come to a solution, even if you guided them.

And if you're ever not sure, remember this: these people are your colleagues, not your friends. They're adults and they have to be responsible for themselves. Be friendly to them, but don't treat them the same as a friend. Friendship is more intimate and you aren't "forced" to be around your friends when the relationship isn't going well. You have to work with your colleagues everyday whether you like it or not.

That being said, it's been hit-or-miss with this approach for me at work. Sometimes you just have to tolerate a coworker's behavior even if you aren't happy with it.
Depends on how much value you get from jit-compiling vs static compiling. It's possible that a jitted language would be faster after a warm-up.
see my other reply.

but in general, without proper architecture, any project will become a mess in any language. this isn't special to labview. all of my systems and code in labview are extremely extensible and maintenance. why? i pay attention to design and architecture and use labview's OOP functionality. people regular comment how great it is that i can add full features in mere minutes, including UI behavior, and they are regularly surprised by the end result i have with labview. is that possible in other languages? yes. but labview's dataflow makes it very easy to reason about local changes.

Black market operators are unlikely to be willing to take this risk for the sake of their customers, but political activists/dissidents might for the sake of their audience.
The vast majority of fiat currency are 1s and 0s stored on computers, the only difference being:

1) Bitcoin is tracked by a global, immutable ledger, whereas you have no idea what kind of potentially krufty, in-house software your bank is tracking your money with.

2) There is a finite number of Bitcoins that can ever exist, whereas 100 trillion new units of your fiat could be created at the push of a button.
"who is saying that?"

"The conventional thinking, held by the large proportion of the many researchers and clinicians I’ve interviewed over the years, is that obesity is caused by caloric excess."
"The minority position in this field — one that Dr. Ludwig holds, as do I after years of reporting — is that obesity is actually a hormonal regulatory disorder, and the hormone that dominates this process is insulin."

5 or so paragraphs in. Waffling and innuendo about how it's really not about calories, while when you look deeper, it is - but they never acknowledge it as such because if they would, WTF would be so special about it?

"second goes further and explores difference between sources of calories and why it's wrong to say that caloric number is all you need to care about."

Caloric number is all you need to care about. It's just easier to control when your blood sugar levels don't swing all over the place.

Caloric intake is like the first oscillation on a 1D Perlin noise function; cutting back specific foods (not 'sources of calories', but specific compounds that have a certain effect on the body) are a second oscillation, transposed on the first one. So you can cut back all the carbs you want, if you don't get your daily energy intake below your energy expenditure, you'll never lose weight. There are other ways of losing weight too, that would work for everybody, but they're mentally hard(er). You can lose weight by eating a McD hamburger and small portion of fries each day, as long as you don't eat anything else (actually, after those two, you still have a 1000 cal budget left, which you could expend on another two portions of fries, or pure sugar if you'd like, and you'd still loose weight).

"you really should read up on ketogenic diet before criticizing it."

I'm not critizing the low carbs diet itself; it's well-known that cutting back on carbs is a relatively easy way to loose weight. When I used to fight and had to cut weight, it was standard advise to the point that it was obvious to everybody who'd spend any time in the gym, even those who had been doing it since the '80s at least. What I'm critizing is these shysters who peddle this sort of 'advise' as something or somehow magical or more than a trick to make it easier to get you calorie intake down. Because that's all it is. A good trick, sure, but still just a way to get your calorie intake down.
I didn't mean the shape but the label. But still, I didn't even realize "sqround" is a word. Thanks!

Most people don't think about the value of the dollar or the conveniences of modern banking because it's become such a transparent part of our daily lives. That would very obviously change if it went away.

I also lament the "rapid centralization of wealth" but fail to see how Bitcoin or your worldview in general (as the opposite of a "Statist", I'm assuming) would do anything except accelerate this process.

Most people don't hate modern banking. Most people also don't pay fees to access their own money, except ATM fees (which are often reimbursed). This is a problem with banks anyway, aka the free market, not fiat. If banks are "too abstract for [most people] to think about" I don't see how they could figure out managing bitcoin, and would likely defer to private banking institutions for Bitcoin as well. Hell, they people already do store Bitcoin wallets in centralized systems, with often hilariously poor results.

Pro tip: when your arguments are to literally start questioning reality, you've lost. However it is refreshing to see a libertarian actually admit the sort of mental gymnastics their worldview requires.

Also, judging by the wild fluctuations in transactions day-to-day, I'm assuming this is all trading volume. I remember when a few legitimate businesses started accepting Bitcoin (Newegg, and uh.. that one taco place?) and I'm not seeing any real correlation where it should matter.
That is a valid criticism, then.
Lol. Their site has an invalid certificate, according to Chrome.
It's also confused with the sources of malleability, listing DSA sign and DER encoding (which you note it calls asn.1) as the only sources; unfortunately there are a dozen of them... and as we came up with workaround with some, we'd find more. This is why are complete fix was needed rather than a series of hacks.
According to article this version of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) seems to be more a matter of a natural mutation that happens in older cattle. IE: similar to the way humans can spontaneously generate Alzheimer's Disease with no family history. Also being atypical its much rarer to be transmitted. Good news. I wish that did more testing like this.

Why a Toaster Is a Design Triumph
Thank you, dumbneurologist for the reality check, and thank you HN commenters for being the most down-to-earth no-bullshit community I've ever found. The breadth of expertise of commenters checking bait articles at the door makes HN an extremely refreshing and clear-headed place to consume news.

Everyone has their faults and I'm not saying that HN never gets caught up in hype sometimes, but this is the best place to be for a level-headed thoughtful takes on things, and you usually do it while retaining a general optimistic attitude.

So thank you.
How does that reduce the violence? Now the buyers have to go to the streets to get their drugs.

Prohibition doesn't work. It creates much more violence than it solves.

It's a gambler's currency.

It's a gambler's {x} could be understood to mean, "prioritizing the desires of players of games of chance." A casino that has many rigged games (beyond the tuning of the odds in favor of the house) wouldn't be considered to be a "gambler's." If you're saying that buying bitcoin is "a gamble," then this may be true, contingent on how much information you're operating on. I'd say that things are happening to Bitcoin, and the more information one has on these things, the more you can narrow down what will happen to the forks.
The first thing that appeared upon clicking the link, for me, was a full-screen overlay ad asking me to subscribe to Backchannel. Unreadable indeed.
Siesta is just a fun word to say, and all the gringos know what it means, and it sounds like a lovely way to spend a day, so that's probably why the myth is perpetuated over and over. It's just a fun conversational nugget, coupled with a bit of cultural ignorance!
I can't think of any Bitcoin discussing venue where it hasn't been posted, please feel free to post it to more.
How to make more sales by getting over your call reluctance
Yes, this is a great post. I've known many in the keto community who have a dismissive attitude towards the calories in calories out mentality. Too often they simply say "CICO is nonsense!" without explaining what they really mean.

Sometimes science literate ppl think these ketoers just don't understand the 2nd law of thermodynamics, but that's not the point. Its true that the 2nd law determines weight loss, but changing your hormonal response is how you really achieve a healthy lifestyle.
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is truly random. One thing we can do is to over approximate. For example, let CURRENT_TIMESTAMP be a symbolic variable, which essentially can be any value. If we still can prove the equivalence, then the equivalence is sound. But there might be some false negative.

ROWNUM is interesting. You can actually declare ROWNUM as an extra attribute of the table and then assert it is a key (We will add support of key constraints very soon). Then many cases will be covered.
That's why I left the Ruby ecosystem and went to Elixir. I noticed that my coding style was getting more and more functional (just naturally... but I was also probably influenced by Rich Hickey's "Are We There Yet?" talk, and by Gary Bernhardt's "Boundaries" talk) and soon realized that functional nirvana was essentially unachievable in Ruby as long as I depended on a vast library of gems all of which were procedural/OO.

Leaped and haven't looked back yet. Great stuff.
Because he's specifically talking about web based password managers.

> $130k doesn't sound unreasonable for a delivery of a baby

While I'm accustomed to hearing this kind of thing from the USA, know that for citizens of any other developed country, that is an absolutely absurd amount, to the tune of 10x or 20x the proper cost.

I've recently had friends in both Japan and Australia, hardly countries with poor healthcare, give birth and in both cases the cost was around USD$5k. That's private, by the way - public would have been free (ie covered by the system paid for by the 2% medicare levy in the case of Australia).
Sure, but that's like someone who programs genetic assays saying you have to learn a lot of molecular biology to program. In the last 5 years I've been working, I've done a bunch of linear algebra for cryptanalysis. But in the 18 years preceding that, zilch.
Yes. It can only be answered experimentally, but the Square Law still applies, with constants to account for reaction time and friction. The point is that someone who has studied Algebra would be able to recognize a polynomial in the data and could match the data to a reasonable function just by taking measurements.

That is the power of Algebra, and it is something that all adults should possess.
Note to other readers: The comment in question only used the term "statist", this poster just implied the usage of the 4chan ad hominems for increased effect.

Yes, everyone is NYC is paying $3000/mo in rent...of course we are. Don't move here. It's terrible.

Let's keep that fiction alive so that those of us who have 2-3 roommates and take a 30 minute subway trip each morning can keep our great....$3000/mo rents....to ourselves.
When you tried it before, was it low-carb and high fat? Or high protein? The high fat versions were new to me a few years ago.
I switched to T-Mobile but I had to switch back because of reception issues. Their service is horrible if you live in a big apartment complex.

I hope they improve. Their unlimited data plan overseas is probably the biggest perk in the industry.
I'm going to go on a bit of a curve here, and say take a walk -- the motion helps me think better and I think there have been studies to that effect.
I'm like you - an introvert who likes being alone, just not all the time. And sometimes I just feel like hanging out with some new friends. I think meeting people isn't the primary problem, though - I just don't put in the effort to stay in touch with the people I do meet because most of the time I don't crave outside company or conversation. So when I do feel like being social, the connection is just not there - that is on me.

I recently joined a hiking group on Meetup.com and it looks promising. Being out in nature with other people who enjoy being out in nature, being active, seems like a good way to meet new people in a more relaxed setting (that is, not a loud bar or work event). Then the onus will be on me to stay in touch with at least a couple of them, but even if I don't there will always be the next hike where we could catch up.
I totally missed this switch by AgileBits. Does anyone know how to ensure that the data file continues to be synced to Dropbox or iCloud, not AgileBits? (Looking into my configuration, it would appear that AgileBits has silently moved my data from iCloud to the AgileBits cloud.)

EDIT: Found: https://support.1password.com/sync-with-dropbox/
Spaniard; can confirm. 3 hour breaks are simply mandatory for small shops. In the south of the country during summer there is literally no way you can go out until... 19 or so if you don't want to die. So if shops closed then, there would be no business.

1password should just release a paid (subscription even) self-hosted version. They already have the domain bit in their apps, I can't imagine it being too much effort to work with any host.
That's what I use as well. Only thing missing I guess is a mobile workflow, though there are some options.
I don't think he read the article, just the title.
Possibly there are laws related to entrapment? Allowing new user signups on a police controlled website might cross the line, where allowing existing users to finish their deals might not?
Work and growth opportunities, the promise of being paid out if it succeeds. At a startup you can play with the latest hot technologies and if the startup is growing fast enough you can accelerate your career into positions faster than a large corporation.
Ribeye steaks, pork, chicken, and other fatty meats are also delicious! One does not need to be an ascetic in order to give up carbs :)

The internet was around well before 1994.
I mentioned Star Trek precisely because it stretched the limits of believability. Usually I'm pretty skeptical but, yknow what? Sometimes I want to be amazed. I feel a little silly that I took this article for granted, but I sure wish I lived in a world where I could take most articles for granted.
As I understand it, this could be solved much better by having people live closer to where they work. Better zoning laws are a better solution than more transportation capacity.
Last I saw, on windows you cannot use 6.0 client without a 1Password.com account, and even then it can only read local vaults.

If you want to edit entries or delete you have to use 4.x, which did not seem to support OTP.

They have made no commitment for bringing windows support for local vaults to feature parity with the mac client.
Is it possible to use the 1Password "family" or "team" accounts with Dropbox or iCloud storage?
I agree with the tactic of being willing to help them. Yet there needs to be a frank discussion in that it is made clear they are not meeting expectations. Then you can move on to how you can help them improve.
It sounded ridiculous the first time I heard it but trains actually have right of way over cars/pedestrians... I wonder if those rights transfer if you could buy up an old train line?[0] (Of course, a HyperLoop isn't as easy to just drive over like train tracks, but if the tracks are already there, it's actually the towns/taxpayers that are responsible for the cost of building a safe crossing for cars/people.)

[0] The wiki article is pretty thin on details but it sounds like they do me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-of-way_(transportation)
Plus a lot of the train stations are owned by quasi-governmental agencies like the port authority.

Traveling 1 mile under the hudson would involve deals with at least 6 entities: the states of NY and NJ, the port authority, the federal government via amtrak, and the city government of NYC and whichever municipality on the NJ side.
I work from home, and free-time is not something I have, but it's an illusion that plagues me, like an evil force begging me to step away from work and play with the dog, take a nap, or read hckrnews.
I don't think they'd build the whole or even the majority underground --it's super costly and trench and cover tunneling still needs access to ground level.
How to Manipulate the Bitcoin Market
True. It sounds like the site was mostly dealing in drugs, which for small time dealers I feel is a waste of time to prosecute... But the problem is that larger organized criminals often get their funds to do worse things from the drug market.
Look further then. These comments are abundant, and they aren't intelligent discourse so much as celebrating failures in crypto and mocking its supporters.

It's really not hard to cut carbs, it's just a habit and exercise in minimal self control like almost anything else in life. Eat more meat and more vegetables, it's really that simple.

If you can't manage that because you love rice or pasta or bread, at least replace processed and refined carbs with whole grains and you'll be much better off.

And don't eat sweets or sugars, which are garbage. Have fruit or high quality dark chocolate if you want something sweet or indulgent.

These things are not just details. Things like scope, mutability, and operator precedence are core language design decisions.
