Co-founder of Moonlight here - thanks for the mention. It costs nothing to contractors, and you set your own rate when you want to work on projects. Definitely recommend that OP signs up.

Fun story: The contractor who wrote the code for the Moonlight blog was in a similar position as OP. Hit a deer with his car, and insurance didn't cover it. Needed extra money quickly. He signed up for Moonlight and did a project in a weekend to pay for the damage.
> If the truth isn't on your side, attack the very concept of truth.

I'll remember this line. I'll also add that the purpose of "fake news" is not to make one take one side over another: it's to inhibit one's ability to discern between the sides.

Fake News aims to cloud the debate, because that's the only way one side can win; if the people who can object and stop it are unable to tell up from down, and more meaningfully, right from wrong.

Dan Luu has a list of programming blogs you might like: https://danluu.com/programming-blogs/. The rest of his blog is good too!

a few of my favorite blogs:

- http://blog.acolyer.org for fantastic daily summaries of CS papers.

- http://stephaniehurlburt.com/blog/ -- she has a business creating a new compression algorithm and I love reading about it

- https://rachelbythebay.com/w/ is pure gold for weird debugging stories

- https://accidentallyquadratic.tumblr.com/ is always a fun read

- http://wingolog.org/ on building compilers

- http://composition.al/blog -- Lindsey Kuper on her programming languages research

- aphyr's blog on distributed systems, of course

- https://charity.wtf/

- http://www.pgbovine.net/writings.htm -- Philip Guo is a CS professor whose blog on his experiences in academia I really like

- http://whilefalse.blogspot.com by Camille Fournier, mostly on engineering management

- http://larahogan.me/blog/ by Lara Hogan, on engineering management

Also I think this comment from Dan's blog (https://danluu.com/about/) is very true and important:

> I view that as a sign there’s a desperate shortage of understandable explanation of technical topics. There’s nothing here that most of my co-workers don’t know (with the exception of maybe three or four posts where I propose novel ideas). It’s just that they don’t blog and I do. I’m not going to try to convince you to start writing a blog, since that has to be something you want to do, but I will point out that there’s a large gap that’s waiting to be filled by your knowledge. When I started writing this blog, I figured almost no one would ever read it; sure Joel Spolsky and Steve Yegge created widely read blogs, but that was back when almost no one was blogging. Now that there are millions of blogs, there’s just no way to start a new blog and get noticed. Turns out that’s not true.

I really think there is a shortage of understandable explanations of technical topics, and I see new people writing great posts clarifying complicated technical topics all the time. And I find people really do notice/appreciate it. So if you're excited about blogging, maybe do it :)
There is a safety issue though. I can't tell you how many times I've almost been killed by an electric bicycle while living in Beijing. You can't here them coming at all.

I don't disagree with the point that the article significantly overstates the facts. But calorie restriction has been extensively studied in many species, not just rodents. I don't think there's much evidence to say that there's no benefit if you start late, even in rodents; just that the earlier the better, and how much better depends on the species. There's some recent evidence that suggests the opposite (starting too early has no additional benefit) in primates,

Comparative analysis reveals that eating less beneficial in
adult and older primates but is not beneficial for younger
animals. This is a major departure from prior studies in
rodents, where starting at an earlier age is better in
achieving the benefits of a low-calorie diet.

Also, I think once the conversation turns to specifics like autophagy or especially hand-wavy stuff like "regenerating the immune system" (as in the topic article), the hard facts are already in the rearview mirror.
No, they won't report it. They're obsessed with Russian conspiracy theories ATM.

No, we do not have any national health exchange. That was proposed by the Republicans instead of the original Obamacare bill but was rejected.

wrong. I was asking about a specific procedure that I made an appointment for. They gave me a form -- after I got to the office -- which said I agreed to pay any amount they decided to charge. When I asked for clarification, they refused to quote me a price.
You should check the neuromorphic community, really interesting work/people. They go from analog electronics to diehard neuroscience. I loved their Telluride summer school.

> shouldn't the goal be to build a system that enables the emergence of these weird tricks without involving human design

It depends on your goals - if your goal is to build a system that can perform smart actions (e.g. build/simulate something comparable to a brain), then that's not required (it may happen to be useful, or not); if your goal is to build a system that can create and build systems that can perform smart actions (e.g. build/simulate something comparable to the evolution process of an intelligent species) then it should.

If there was a jailbreak available, yes. But there hasn't been a publicly available untethered jailbreak since March of 2016, and there has never been an untethered jailbreak of iOS 10.

The only jailbreak for iOS 10 was semi-teathered and only made public after Apple had patched the vulnerabilities. In order for this to work as malware the user would have to open the malicious app every time their phone restarts. Not only that, every time the they open the app their phone would appear to be out of storage and then promptly crash to the boot screen. It would be a bit of a hard sell.

Basically, I've built this simple project to see if there was any commercial interest in building rest apis using mock data, and I am almost certain that the answer is no - which is fine by me, i'm waiting for the next idea.. :)

Edit: By the way, besides simple SEO with google, I haven't bothered doing any marketing at all with this project, because I'm being mostly lazy, also because if the idea was any good, it should (hopefully) had success initially, and also because I suck at marketing..

Are Design Patterns really so out of fashion with the youth of today that nobody here mentions Design Patterns as their answer?

Because it is mine, for better or worse. It took me from understanding OO to understanding how to build large systems with OO, writing maintainable code and using proper encapsulation. A much deeper work than Code Complete (though the latter is worth reading too).

I have used functional languages as well (ML, Lisp; not Haskell yet though I think I get what monads are; plus I write a lot of Python, C++, JS in functional style) but I have yet to use them for any project as big. I hope I get the chance to one day. But for now Design Patterns gets my vote.
Thanks. The Web MIDI API is really fun to play with.

But the number of people needed to fulfill certain tasks will continually drop as we develop more robots and more AI. A whole logistics chain that used to keep a million people employed, may only need 1000 people to keep the system going.

> A robot cannot solve a human's medical crisis. Only a human can.

Most of what doctors do is pretty routine and we already have AIs that best them at it; we have bigger issues with getting people to trust these systems than to actually build them. The result will then mean that instead of an army of doctors doing basic diagnoses and occasionally hearing a hard problem, we will need a handful of doctors working on hard problems. This is what automation does: it doesn't fully replace all of a thing, but it drastically reduces the number of people needed. I mean, to take all of your other examples: maybe you are right that an AI can't design a video game from start to end, but the insanely large number of people who work on a video game are people doing extremely boring tasks of modelling and motion capture. Imagine making a movie where you just have a writer, a director, a costume artist, and a set designer, and every other role is replaced by a computer.
I promise to not get bored and to add more value to it soon;) Or to find a way to automate the maintenance while adding more value :)
Why not? And hammocks themselves can be anchored with teared energy absorber like used in via ferrata mountain climbing — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_ferrata#Energy_absorber . This will make the construction much safer than a single two-point seatbelt.

The massive difference is that Kite is using manipulative, dishonest tactics.

When I sign up for a service like Code Climate it's very clear that I am giving them access to some of my code. I also have easy control over what code they can see. They are honest and upfront about what they are doing and why.

Kite has been trying to hide what they are doing, with the goal of tricking developers into doing things they otherwise wouldn't. They're taking advantage of the huge amount of trust in the open source community. Kite must know that abusing this trust has a high chance of hurting the community, but they don't seem to care, as long as they can make a quick buck or two for themselves.

A lot of people here really cherish that trust and goodwill among strangers in the open source world, and are understandably pretty pissed when someone comes along and messes with it.

The bottom line though is being honest and upfront with developers. I suspect Kite could have been a bit more forward about what they were doing and the developer community would have reacted with much less outrage.
You may appreciate https://github.com/Andy753421/mkinit though it is written in mk (from Plan 9) rather than Make.
For commuters with reasonable commutes of less than an hour each way, EVs make perfect sense. People living in the boonies commuting 2 hours each way...no way. I only use my car occasionally (a tank of gas a month) walking to work instead, so I'm not the ideal target for an EV.
Bitcoin, hands down.

SegWit will activate soon and after that we'll get things like lightning with super fast / cheap transactions and no more waiting for transactions to get confirmed.

I think we'll see a lot more mainstream use after LN and the price will either skyrocket or stabilize as a result.
Yesterday's discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14829936
I looked this up a while ago, and tire noise accounts for 94% of noise over 60 MPH.
The obvious caveat: this is quite far away from my field of expertise. Doubly so, because I'm not an expert in neural net ML and neither in cognitive science. So take this with spoonful of salt. But anyhow, I don't like the word "imagine" here. It seems suggest cognitive capabilities that their model probably does not have.

As far as I do understand the papers, their model builds (in unsupervised fashion which sounds very cool) an internal simulation of the agent's environment and runs it to evaluate different actions, so I can see why they'd call it imagination / planning, because that's the obvious inspiration for the model and so it sort of fits. But in common parlance, "imagination" [1] also means something that relatively conscious agents do, often with originality, and it does not seem that their models are yet that advanced.

I'm tempted to compare the choice of terminology to DeepDream, which is not exactly a replication of the mental states associated with human sleep, either.

That is the energy it takes to create the gas (and not the energy to extract and move around).

Again, my EV goes the same distance as the average fuel economy for the same amount of energy.

ICE double dip.. plus more.
Income inequality is far greater in the Facebook/Google/Mozilla types of places. Rural areas have much less variability.

When hackers grow older, and decide they don't want noise and 4-story apartments nearby, then yes, the peaceful do have an impact. They don't feel it because they donate to EFF and recycle and have a "Nuclear-Free Zone" sign at the entrance to their town.

But the root of Bay Area inequality is housing, full stop.

I took a ride share from the airport a couple of months ago. The driver lives better than I do. He lives in Sacramento and drives all weekend. He then comes back to his 4 bedroom house in a rural suburb. His children attend a decent school. There is low crime in his town.

Other states have other problems, perhaps due to national policies. But the Bay Area's problems are almost all of it's own making.

The worst off are the locals who can't move back to their Midwestern towns as the newcomers can. Their entire support structure is in the Bay Area. So their only option is to move to Antioch or Tracy to accept a 2 hour commute for a $15/hr job.

You're right that there will be unrest, but it won't be in Alabama, nor will it be in Fresno. It'll be where the nice hackers live.

Apparently so; sad.
It isn't paranoia when the entire history of the "free market" demonstrates that... (not all, but a far to high proportion of) these entities pretty much will screw over everyone and everything they can, in exchange an extra buck or too -- unless very rigorously constrained from doing otherwise.

Or that is to say, "regulated".
Why don't we have smart routers doing this? I wish my router could tell me "the fastest connection I have observed this month is 10mbps". Basically doing a non stop speed test. Im sure I could set it up myself, but I'd like an easy to use package.

Nice; Mie scrattering; I was explaining creeping waves with someone recently; cool stuff. I have not done too much with RCS or large structures. I'm mostly RF/Microwave circuits and antennas, though as I move into mmWave, electrically large antennas (both arrays and reflectors) will be come an issue.

Does your code handle lossy dielectrics?

Anyway to instantiate near-field excitation sources on large structures? That's one nice thing about CST; save the near field results from an FEM antenna simulation and instantiate them into a TLM simulation on a large structure.

A a side note, we had a new near field chamber installed, and the guy from Orbit/FR used to run several test ranges. Got on the topic of antenna standards (there really are not any, even standard gain horns). He developed some cylinder standards for scattering. They ship them around the world to verify ranges.
Right, which increases revenue for the medical establishment, while also helping some people (and harming others) in the process. For me to consider the Democrats as the true party of the people rather than a tool of corporations, I'd want to see the cost side of health care addressed as well. My question is: was it?

I don't think you need a $500 buy in. Most register for less than a dollar, so maybe a fee in the $20-50 range? You won't discourage everyone but the number of domains squatted will be a fraction of the current number (something like 80% of the new TLD domains registered are for squatting)

The amount people can pay to get a business domain off of a squatter won't increase (since this is all artificial anyway) but you cut into the profit margin of maintaining millions of registrations pretty quickly.
Kansas City, and it's nearly infinite suburbs, would be incredibly comfortable at 75k. Could easily afford a nice home in one of the bustling urban neighborhoods, or a 2,000+ sq ft. in the burbs, or something with a few acres out in the country but near an interstate for commuting.
That's not what the communism analogy is referring to. The point is within a company there aren't generally entities that compete among themselves in a market economy for resources. Instead, there is a command economy with the CEO and other high executives making decisions as to the allocation of resources much as how resources were allocated in the Soviet Union. In fascism there were numerous corporations that competed with each other as in any capitalist system with the exception that the dictator could have the CEOs imprisoned or killed if they didn't like them, of course.
Thank you for your feedback! More resources and education material for developers will be coming very soon.

The default policy we provide is report-only. When we started we provided a very strict policy, but it broke too many apps. It was a major turn down for a lot of adopters. We are constantly evolving and are currently working on a feature that automatically generates tailored (stricter) policies depending on the reports we receive.
In a downtown area the speeds are likely not high, and the traffic is likely stop and go, with lots of opportunity for revving engines as drivers jam the accelerator down from a dead stop. My previous apartment had a busy highway on one side, and a busy street with a stop light right before an onramp to said highway. The furious acceleration of cars going from a stop to highway speeds as fast as they can was much worse than the monotonous general highway whooshing sounds.
Batteries are almost 100% recyclable. Also, with the Volt at least, zero failures of the battery systems:

I second this. I read this book in my teens after I had taught myself programming and just been hacking away for a little while. It had never occurred to me to even think about the issues this book was discussing. It really made me think about and appreciate design quality in software.
Yep. Any sort of particle & wave interaction; klystrons, TWT, magnetrons, etc. with nonlinear and thermal effects rolled in. Nasty problems.
> that title is noxious

What was the original title?
The Little Lisper by Dan Friedman. It is probably 30 years out of publication but I pulled it off of my shelf the other day, reread it, and the next day I noticed that my code had improved. It is a quick read, nothing earth shattering, but you will be amazed by what you have forgotten.
At least on major boulevards around my home and office, where speed limits range from 30 to 40 miles per hour (~64km/h), engine noise is dramatically more significant than tire or wind noise. These major boulevards with three to four lanes per direction are conduits for rigs, buses, and utility trucks with large diesel engines. As a pedestrian, when these things roar by, all I hear is engine noise. Grinding, roaring engine noise. Yes, they have tires, and yes, there must be some wind noise, but right down there at street level, it's all drowned out by the engine.

I agree with the grandparent, if we see these larger vehicles go electric in my lifetime, I will be very happy at the reduction in noise.
The bill goes to the government, who gets its funding from the people. This in no way stops any systemic over-billing that may be occuring.

Ask HN: Help Need startup-friendly patent attorney to respond to office action
HN hive mind - can you point me to patent attorneys that are startup-friendly? I'm building a startup in the security space and things are headed in the right direction, with good customer interest. I filed a patent app for the novel aspects of my technology, and now the patent office has responded. I now need a patent attorney to help me navigate and respond to the office action, potentially by narrowing a claim or two.

Can you recommend a startup-friendly patent attorney?
