As the article states, "Immediately after the arrest of the administrators, these servers and their corresponding infrastructure were seized and an exact copy of the market place was transferred to Dutch servers".

A dead man's switch can't wipe the server and all backups, imaging the machine is the first thing one does (before e.g. attempting to log in); the only thing that may vary if you dump the machine with or without turning it off, e.g. getting a memory image by direct hardware access of a live system or imaging disks (and possibly RAM as well, the chips can be read if they're cooled and re-inserted quickly) after cutting the power.

This Safarik guy sounds like a real piece of shit. Absolutely zero remorse for telling a tall tale in front of a judge and jury which led to a man spending 11 years in prison for something he didn't do.

> “Like other killers I’ve known, he’s also arrogant and narcissistic — fatal traits that led to his demise,” Safarik says. “This was all his doing…. Ultimately, he was responsible for it.”

I only see arrogance and narcissism coming from one person in the story told, and it wasn't from Jennings.
How'd we get to windmills? Panels don't make noise or belch local pollution, and actually reduce the heat load of the surface.
I think it's time to admit that REST is at best a hack as front-end devs don't want to deal with implementing RPC in the browser, even when building complex desktop replacement apps.

A formal spec will not fix the flawed notion that any/all protocol msgs can be mapped to what are essentially CRUD HTTP verbs, or that the underlying HTTP protocol was fundamentally designed for serving hypertext documents and accepting occasional form data.
So you don't think we should prohibit anything? Should we just let people buy fentanyl by the kilogram without any repercussions? Sure, we should reform drug laws so that user's are not punished as significantly, but completely removing prohibition of drugs I think is pretty counterproductive, considering how the US already has a major opioid problem. Prohibition will obviously reduce drug use to some degree, so it's just a matter of balancing the costs and benefits.

But also it should be m = (4/3)πr³ρ because the volume of the sphere is (4/3)πr³, not πr³.

>The carrots take up quite a bit of space in your stomach, and I would wager their GI is far below breads/etc., so I would expect that I'd run out of space in my stomach before their GI became something to worry about.

You're on the right track, but what you mean is not the GI of carrots is low, but the glycemic load. For blood sugar and diet considerations, the GL is at least as important as the GI

I run latest angular, works pretty good. We even got some support from google angular team itself - it's amazing.

Not fan of angular or any other framework in particular but this gets the job done so far. If only they finish angular universal faster..
Well, this is the basis for religion.

I am an atheist, scientist (physics) and I used to actively discourage people from religion (which is pure quackery).

This until I realized that religion helps people who do not want to otherwise think about the world around them. One of the people I managed to move away from religion and change his beliefs ended up deeply depressive. Another one was deeply unhappy with the change. I lost these two friends.

So, while I profoundly belive that people who do science must be atheists (otherwise they have some mental disorders, trying to combine fire and ice), I do not think anymore that everyone is a good candidate for enlightenment. The hope you get from religion vs. the hope you do not have in science (in the religious sense) must be carefully weighted.
> the "import rlp" cheat.

Ah, I knew someone was going to get me on that. They actually give you the encode function in the specification. It's pretty straightforward and if I was to write it, would end up the same, so I decided to just import the library. But I agree it does go against the "from scratch" title a little bit.

Totally agree.

That factor should be 4/3 rather than 3/4. When you differentiate it, you need to get 4πr² for the surface area.

There's no confusion. I've pointed out that protecting consumers from immutable fraud via insurance premiums, as you propose, is much costlier than having a trusted intermediary police and reverse fraud. You have pointed to no errors in my assumptions or logic.

You simply believe that we "should" not trust intermediaries, which is fine, but you must accept the consequence that consumer protections will be weaker and/or costlier to implement. This is why Bitcoin was for the most part never more attractive to consumers than cards.

The problem with Ember is that finding developers is a lot harder so nobody will use it. I'm not saying it's bad, but if I would start a company now and had to do a SPA (hopefully not) it would definitely be either React or Angular just because finding developers would be easier.
Subscribers. Creators can mark their posts as free, as I have done here, but if posts are not marked free you have to subscribe to view them.

Unless you're a seed user (first 1000 people who sign up), then you don't have to subscribe to view non-free posts.
Because many phenomena aren't in fact representations of arbitrary random variables.

Take word distribution in any human language for instance. Word frequencies follow a Zipf distribution because it decreases entropy and hence is more efficient.
So this is tricky.

The way custom DSTs work in Rust is super annoying at the moment, but slightly less annoying for generics.

You are free to define a custom DST that is like:

struct Foo {
header: u32,
flexible: [SomeType]
}

However, there is no way to construct this type. The most you can do is calculate field offsets and write a ton of unsafe code.

If the type was instead

struct Foo<T: ?Sized> {
header: u32,
flexible: T
}

you would be able to construct a `&Foo<[SomeType]>` from a `&Foo<[SomeType; N]>` via DST coercions.

This only works if you know the size of the array at compile time.

For a runtime sized thing you have to implement a bespoke vector-like thing. You can find an example of that code in https://github.com/servo/servo/blob/e19fefcb474ea6593a684a1c... where we have a generic "HeaderWithSlice<H, [T]>" type which can be heap allocated as a header followed by the flexible DST [T].

This could be improved. The HeaderWithSlice thing could probably be a useful crate for implementing completely-heap-allocated vectors (where the len/cap are on the heap) or shared reference counted types with flexible members. We haven't really split it out as a crate because we don't actually ever mutate it so the amount of code we need is significantly less (but it's not as useful as it could be).

So yeah, flexible array members can be implemented in Rust, but it's a lot of hacky work. It's an equivalent amount of work and unsafety to write a custom Index impl on a repr(C) type with a zero-length array at the end. The DST doesn't actually get you much here.
It depends on how deep they can tunnel.

This could just as well argue against the government doing anything at all — policing, running a military, prosecuting fraudsters, running the post office — and yet most people view those institutions as at least a conditional good and would not be happier if the government never did these things.

Similarly, if my wife were a murderer, she could easily kill me in my sleep, but this doesn't mean I'm against the general idea of sharing a bedroom with my wife — it just means that marrying a crazy person is bad.
> Facebook makes a lot of money on the parade of bullshit that they enable and propagate.

How about punishing people publishing fake bullshit?

Facebook is about as responsible here as e.g. Hacker News, except here the audience is a bit more able to detect lies in articles. But all the bullshit you see on Facebook is created neither by FB, nor by its users. The bullshit is created by news websites and magazines. How about punishing journalists and editors for a change?

I feel like we need to be talking about this more. For all the hullabaloo concerning password strength and encryption key length, MANY of our secret key entry methods would be quite easily defeated by a common webcam and a pair of human eyeballs.

That's kind of scary! It's not about to make me stop using passwords, but it is going to make me stop and think before I log into anything in a coffee shop.
It's not arbitrary random variables, it is independent additive variables which leads you to gaussian distributions frequently.
> Google is a company that believes that their superior technology validates itself.

This is a good point. I bet the team that made glass looks at what a technical achievement Glass is and rate the project as a complete success. I don't know how many millions they spent to get the form factor so small but I really would be surprised if anyone caught any flack for it.
Who is spreading "fake bullshit" though? Both sides say the other is fake. The idea is no one now knows what is real or fake, or indeed no one even cares about what's real or fake. The idea is to make what is fake or real irrelevant so that those who control the levers of power can continue doing so. Information is no longer power, information is a threat.
I always want to make a dent in the universe. Now students are learning about my startup ;-)
This is another good point. A lot of people with... somewhat strange views (especially conspiracy theorists) are already super paranoid that the government is trying to shut them up.

Try and punish them for 'lying', and well you just strengthern their cause for the people who follow them. Turn them into a sort of martyr for their followers.

Probably not a good idea in a world where "the elite want to shut down criticism to bring back a one world order" is something people actually believe in some circles.
Not very helpful. I wasn't asking you to theorize on how AgileBits could change 1Password in the future to do that. Rather, I was expressing skepticism that events happened as you described (e.g. that 1Password just arbitrarily decided to convert local vaults to cloud vaults without any instruction from you).

In theory yes, and if you only aim your site at flagship smart phone owners.

In my experience in Latin America with 50-150$ Android phones, very few developers/managers in the "western world" actually care about their SPAs performance and in about 9/10 cases the simple backend rendered sites provide a better experience for me.

edit: Of course there also plenty of devs that add a ton of inperformant js to their backend rendered sites, destroying the experience.
Ask HN: How do I submit a page that has been updated?
I tried to submit a link to a page that has previously been discussed here on HN, because the content of the page contains an interesting update. No matter how I tried to submit it (appending a bogus query string, and a couple other tricks), the posting screen just said "invalid/expired link". I'm guessing my tricks didn't work because whatever fetches the page content uses the `rel="canonical"` tag value to normalize the URI.

Anyway, what's the deal with this rule? Pages change over time, how come they can't be resubmitted? The page in question, as well as the HN discussion, are over a year old, for what it's worth.

A local backup can be a lot quicker due to transfer times. From the local backup I'd then do an offsite. You can try to use snapshots with your NAS to just restore the most recent data from remote, too.
You can do that, but those local vaults aren't part of the team/family.

Yep, and that's also something a lot of people tend not to consider when talking about free speech and censorship. What happens when the 'other side' takes power? Or if an actual tyrant takes control of the government?

Python's a very dynamic language; a lot of things are inherently determined at run-time. You could build a less-dynamic language (and enforce type annotations and all that), but then that's hard to call "Python", right? At least we'd be free of things like this:

#Scans the module for methods starting with "do_", and puts their names in a list
available_actions = [ method[3:].lower() for method in dir(this_module) if callable(getattr(this_module, method)) and method[:3] == 'do_' ]

professional etherem devs haven't even gotten to the point where they can write correct contracts themselves. but the concept is pretty simple.

a "smart contract" is a script that runs on a blockchain to execute terms and manage funds.

the problem is that the tools that you use to make these are basically garbage. you don't write fin-tech in what amounts to javascript y'know?
This reads like someone consciously decided "Hey, let's build the ultimate poster boy for bad statistical studies!".

1. Sample bias: "Why just study WEIRD [1] subjects? Let's do male Harvard graduates!" (Yes, half the study included inner city men, and one eighth of the duration featured women. It's still super heavily biased towards Harvard men.)

2. Correlation is not causation: "Hmm, health is correlated with relationship satisfaction. Could there be a common cause for both? Or maybe people like to hang out with healthier peers? No, the clear conclusion is that working on your relationships magically makes you healthier."

3. Inconsistent data collection: "Those '30s nincompoops were measuring skulls and handwriting. We'll stop doing that and take MRIs instead. But it's still the same study!"

I can definitely endorse Enpass as a great product. I never used to believe in password managers but the past year has made a believer of me.

It's more that in-browser JS changes all the time and is basically never audited, nor can it be pinned and prevented from changing. It'd be downright trivial and unnoticeable to change it to capture your password rather than to behave as advertised.

Compare that with the app. Sure it has an updater, but you can use it offline. Don't trust it in day-to-day affairs? Block network access. You can reliably not trust it, and trust that it hasn't exposed your password behind your back (minus on-disk, but that's a risk either way, and it's more audit-able / third parties can build against the format to verify it independently).

I'm pretty excited for this. Overleaf is awesome! I've used it for a few years and have over 50 projects on my dashboard, but I checked out sharelatex a few months ago and was pretty impressed by some of their features. I didn't feel like switching because I feel a bit invested in overleaf with the number of projects, so I didn't investigate further. I hope that this can merge the best features of both programs and make latex more accessible than ever.

Side question for the overleaf team: do you have any plans to make overleaf truly ios compatible? Yes, I know I can open it in the browser just fine (and kudos for that!), but when it takes 3 taps for every backslash or brace I need, it really doesn't work to do much more than minor modifications to existing documents. There really needs to be an easier way of typing the punctuation needed.
Yes, I would caution anyone who reads my post from drawing a 1:1 correlation with their life. That has strictly been my experience and even as such, I of course can't be 100% sure about the origins of my current situation. It's a bit of a chicken/egg situation.

Yes, right now I struggle to find fulfillment in my work. But did that develop because of solitude which induced depression or did the lack of fulfillment develop naturally and cause the depression itself? It's difficult to say for sure, even as the person experiencing it.

I can only speak to what I know of myself and my situation.
I was a developer for ~3 years before I started WFH, and never felt like this. The product I worked on then, wasn't any more interesting than the current one. It's true though that the first few years of work carried with them a novelty and enjoyment that was bound to fade. But I think my happiness then was more than just that. Even off days felt successful if I was interacting with the team.

> Some people are very happy with solitude and there's no hard rule that it affects everyone the same.

Definitely agree. We're all different, and some people surely do thrive in this kind of environment. Interestingly, I would have told you I was one of those people. I'm naturally an introvert so this lifestyle was very comfortable at the outset. Too much of a good thing though...
Where is the divide illustrated? I see a spectrum across the population with no clear dividing lines.
I can make small edits on my phone, and more importantly reread it to find errors. If I think of something at work, I can open in a tab. I can send my current draft to someone so they can add feedback inline. I can make changes based on their feedback, and don't have to resend them anything. Informal reviewers don't have to keep track of versions of my document, going to the url is always the most recent.

Even more importantly, setting up and maintaining a latex installation may not be a lot of time, but if you don't have much time, it becomes a bigger fraction of it. It's a big activation energy to get over if you don't have a lot of energy.

If you are writing papers regularly, then you may find it worth it, or easy to invest in your own setup. If you aren't, it is a lot to manage.
If you never plan on selling to him again, and because you don't actually have anything.
This kinda blows my mind.

What happens if they do quality control on both mass and radius?

I imagine the reason why, in your example it is the radius rather than the mass that is normal, is due to what QA is focused on.
