The hole in this system is that there is still no good mechanism for verification, at least in my eyes. What is to stop a tamperer from creating UUIDs not associated with a citizen? That's why I would consider tying to a person quite publicly.

At the same time, perhaps such a system reduces the surface area for bad actors. Now, perhaps, just the registry/database of UUIDs is a primary target.
Pick a reporter from any outlet and manually perform the analysis that you've suggested and I think you'll see that it is not easily computational. Even basic taxonomy of "kinds of stories" is not well implemented on a service such as Google News.

Given that the name is censored, I think that's probably referring to his supposed co-conspirator whose name is censored throughout the document.
You don't have to modify, and I never do except to improve readability (read: eliminate or reduce horizontal scrollbars). It's not unusual to see a good contributor add an answer to an old question that uses newer syntax or version features. "The accepted answer is quite old but this question is the top result for 'javascript arrays' (e.g.), so this is how you do it in ES6."
Ok, I'll ask Thomas Pornin myself.

Fiction is a petri dish for all of those ideas you're consuming in non-fiction books.

Have you ever had an idea that you thought could change the world? Write a short story about it. When you are really forced to create different viewpoints in your head, put those viewpoints into characters, and then have those characters come into conflict with one another, you're subjecting your idea to scrutiny that costs nothing more than a few bytes in word processor and a few hours of time.

In that way, I think a lot of non-fiction is time wasted. I think more non-fiction writers should be fiction writers.
You already have experience with Objective-C and Swift, that's probably enough to transition into a developer role. I'd say next step is writing a CV and look for companies that hire.
Maybe it's the alliteration.
If you struggle to get diverse voices inside your field, maybe you should read from diverse voices outside your field. I understand it is hard and I also gravitate towards comfortable reading, usually meaning from people that look like me. This is the problem. Start being accountable to yourself about it.

I'd agree that the changes you describe are taking place, but I'm not convinced it's all a bad thing.

There absolutely are negative aspects to these changes, but I think there's also a lot of good aspects to them as well. Instead of viewing these changes as good or bad, I guess I generally see them as "just different". Additionally, I think a lot of the bad sides to these issues seem to be ones that already existed to one degree or another, and hopefully this will increase our ability to fix them.

> The shitty parts of human behavior are being exploited by tech companies for obscene profits with no governance of their actions.

I absolutely agree with this though, and think that we should be doing a much better job here.
I'm not Marissa's biggest fan (and have made a few comments here against her), but the spinoff was not her first choice. In fact, there was an original plan that would have spun off Alibaba and a small part of Yahoo (Yahoo Small Business, I think) and kept the core business going. Activist investors weren't very receiving of that idea though.

Source: I was at Yahoo back then.
No experience but I heard about Dr Sarno and the book from Howard Stern, who swears by him.

Here's a recent segment from the Howard Stern show if you want to hear a bit

The ratchet is a the simplest universal physical mechanism that seems to fall out of physics into chemistry and biology all the time.

eyes are a bit more subtle. It would be really interesting to know the specific trajectories of evolution that led to the formation of sensitive pigments (probably the earliest vision systems), through the development of lenses, etc.
Yes, and all the more enjoyable knowing I can fit more reading in at such a clip.

I've also noticed that the ability to comprehend spoken words can be trained; I started off at 1.25x speed and have gradually built up to 2x. Now when I listen to audio at 1x, it is just so slo-o-o-w. Anecdata, but I don't think my comprehension or enjoyment have gone down as I increase speed.
Yes. We've arrived at a place where engineers/devs are now first-class citizens in a company. They are also founders and remain as CEO much longer. These are all good things.

But those things shouldn't (and needn't) come at the expense of not doing real sales.

If you look at recent successful B2B tech companies (I'm talking IPOs or true unicorns), you'll likely find most of them had a strong sales focus early on. Notable exceptions would be very dev-focused products such as GitHub & Twilio.
Since the cover of the book shows a nicely muscled back I searched the book for squat, deadlift or barbell and found nothing. I'm not sure how you're going to get from back pain to that back without solid exercise. However, I can tell you from personal experience that a solid diet of squats, deadlifts and barbell rows has pretty much solved any back pain problems I ever had with the exception of soreness after lifting. My posture is significantly better. And I don't have that back. Yet.

As a novice to the cryptocurrency world I assumed that bitcoin was the only the only one available. I am surprised by how many are available. After reading the article I am interested in investing in these alternative forms of currency as another hat in my portfolio. Now with this beginning knowledge I will expand on it to make an informed decision on which suits my needs the best.
I get that, it's just a pain to upload the same file multiple times to send it to more than one person :/
After reading this, it appears that Ripple is probably not a good investment at this time; if another company that offers the similar product has already surpassed it in popularity, it kind of looks like Ripple might be the MySpace product that fizzled when facebook took off. Sounds like the money to made has already been had. I'm more interested in the Goldman product.
I'd love a good HN summer fiction reading list, particularly with a sci-fi focus
It's worse than that, because your basis is not anywhere near $0 unless you're Evan and his bros. If you're an engineer who has worked there for 2-3 years you are probably getting near (or already below) your strike.

That said, if you're an insider still, you probably feel it's going to get better, so you hold. You're used to shares being illiquid and it's easy to continue seeing them as such. Plus, you get some bonus cash with follow-on RSU grants that are certainly being doled out.
pfft.

I used to talk to this guy on a malware dev IRC on a daily basis, he started a blog "TouchMyMalware" which eventually evolved into Malwaretech.

> This is effectively saying that investigative journalists shouldn't get too political in unpopular causes, lest they have their livelihood taken away from them. This is a suppression of free speech (not legally ofc) on a platform that syndicates political news and opinions.

1) You are arguing now that journalists should have legal immunity.

> Patreon had no liability in this situation. Patreon doesn't support the sale of software, and software as speech is a much murkier area than... actual, literal speech.

2) She was taking actions that physically prevented other people from taking actions. That isn't literal speech and is much further from speech than software is.

> This is taking a political stance; anyone on either side of rescue missions for refugees is funding something that is likely to cause loss of life. One is just politically en vogue.

3) No. This is you attempting to frame outrageous criminal acts as "politics".
> Unable to read the article linked, but this is Classic Uber and the reason that capitalism needs more regulations. Cars catch fire? Oopsies!

You CLEARLY didn't read the article. Uber reached out to the authorities and other automative experts about this recall. There was NO objection from authorities.

Everyone is so quick to jump on Uber about literally anything. They've done a lot of terrible shit, but it doesn't seem like what they did here was so terrible. Sure, maybe they should've taken greater precautions, but after reaching out to authorities and experts, what would you have them do, pull these cars off the roads? The headline would have read "Uber takes away cars from driver depriving them of income".

From Uber in a recent response:

As soon as we learned of a Honda Vezel from the Lion City Rental fleet catching fire, we took swift action to fix the problem, in close coordination with Singapore’s Land Transport Authority as well as technical experts. But we acknowledge we could have done more—and we have done so. We’ve introduced robust protocols and hired three dedicated experts in-house at LCR whose sole job is to ensure we are fully responsive to safety recalls. Since the beginning of the year, we’ve proactively responded to six vehicle recalls and will continue to do so to protect the safety of everyone who uses Uber.
If they run out of cash they are bust. I wonder how much the big car companies will pay for them if they get close to the edge?
No pun intended, but it would have been a pretty good pun, had I noticed it before.

It's weird that they're closing Documentation, because my experience is that SO doesn't actually want to be a Q&A site, it wants to be a crowdsourced documentation site disguised as a Q&A site for some reason. They'll close legitimate questions because they're not broadly applicable, which isn't really how Q&A works.
I found it really enjoyable and rather funny. I really liked the attention to detail as well, e.g. replicating last 5 searches in order to stay stealthy. I imagine that lots of effort went into the hacking exercise and the write-up. Nicely done.
In the longer term tesla only needs to survive long enough until autonomous fleets can take over.

Musk's masterplan "Enable your car to make money for you when you aren't using it" seems like a feint, considering that individual car ownership might go the way of the dodo, outside the luxury segment.

Then again, if residential solar and utility installations can coexist so maybe can different autonomous car utilization models.
Because you're almost certainly not qualified to make that determination.
This sums up my feelings as someone who made a reservation as well. Every article I read about the Model 3 seems detached from reality, as if all 500,000 reservation holders have already bought something already.

As long as they can communicate

Funny thing with the police, in the 60s there was flooding and they couldn't coordinate a response, so radio amateurs had to step in and provide comms. Those enthusiasts are still around under the codename RAYNET. The police eventually got their act together and invested in a system called TETRA which is self-contained and independent of any other infrastructure so they would never be caught with their pants down again.

Now they've ditched TETRA to save money and they just run over the 4G network like anyone else...
launching to employees is critical. they all already have non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreements. if they launched to real customers they would either have to force them to sign, which would be a PR nightmare, or suffer the negative blowback from a product that is not ready.

Just like all technology: wait for the independent tests and reviews before making judgements.
It's an oddly uninformative document. It says that they believe he created the Kronos malware but gives absolutely no clue why they think that. All the other overt acts listed appear to have been carried out by his unnamed alleged co-conspirator alone. What makes this particularly bizarre is that he was begging on Twitter for a sample of the malware in question at around the same time: https://twitter.com/MalwareTechBlog/status/48837379416825446...
You can't make a type that must be used exactly once, but you can often express that requirement in some other way. One technique is to require that some top-level function returns a value of the terminal type; then you can't accidentally abandon a computation part-way through. Here's a silly example:

Yes, with all the gamification, many of them can't quit. What the problem is that kids don't have much money to pay for anything. So, if you make a product for kids, make sure it is something their parents will pay for. Snapchat is not one of them.

What on earth is money laundering if not disguising the origin of lots and lots of physical cash? As always, a lot of this has its origins in drug trade.

Money laundering is disguising the origin in general, which is of course the point of mixing. It's not some kind of theoretical bitcoin boner exercise, it's intended so you can maybe at a later date withdraw some bitcoins without the party providing the cash (and the feds) immediately making the connection to the crime.
It's an npm package for use with node.js. I don't think it will work in a browser as-is. It's funny, but my initial assumption these days is that it will be exposed via npm and work in node and/or browser via bundling.
that's unfortunate. I'm curious about the possibility of some other entity (cities, counties, local groups) taking control over the systems and providing cheap or free service. ham radio groups might be good at that.

We do this a lot. CCD image sensors are inherently more suited to astrophotography, but so much development has been put into CMOS that it is catching up to (and may surpass) CCD. A single widespread technology, with more applications & development effort, surpasses a better but more niche technology.

It's an interesting phenomenon. In the case of batteries, I wonder if we fully account for all the costs though. Lead-acid, for example, is a very sustainable (long-lasting, highly recyclable) battery technology that is inherently suitable, but if the full mining/recycling/disposal costs of lithium-ion are not priced in, the market won't account for this.
So, I have nothing against what you've listed here, this is great stuff. What I find interesting for me personally is that it never once crosses my mind who the author is or what their skin color is or anything like that when I'm looking at a book. I just have no idea (and perhaps no interest really, unless it's something I'm REALLY into).

Anyway, it's cool that you're listing these. I'm particularly interested in The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs.
It's... not saying that at all. There is a difference between speech and action. There is a difference between risking your own life for a cause and endangering a political opponent's life for your cause.

From the FAQ:

>Is this a drop-in replacement for ls? No — exa has, in my opinion, much saner defaults than ls, so while the available command-line options are similar, they are not exactly the same. Most of the common options will work consistently, though. For example, exa prints human-readable file sizes by default (when would you not want that?) so ls -h no longer applies.

It should be a vowel sound similar to the English words "thought", "dawn", "fall", and "straw", except nasalized. So "pawn" is probably closer than "poon". (If any one of those have a different vowel sound than the others in your dialect, use the more popular version.)

Reducing the size by ~95% in exchange for a 0.001% error rate seems like a pretty nice tradeoff to be able to make for some uses.

The nature of the data means it can never really be "perfect" anyway (there are certainly some password breaches that exist but aren't included in the list), so massively reducing the resources required in exchange for a bit of artificial error seems pretty reasonable to me.

But it is easier to cool by 4 degrees than heating 40.
You're reading it like this:

> GW is [...] a [..] measurement as the amount of energy it stores.

Which doesn't parse. If the text read "of" instead of "as", I might agree with you. As it stands, it doesn't correctly parse either way. Given the full context of the statement, the more likely original intention was that:

> GW is [...] just a[s] valid and important [a] measurement as the amount of energy it stores.
Right but with more colors (e.g. you can get small files to have their file size be in green and large files have their filesize in yellow - the scale of color tells you how big a file is) and the summary from git-diff --stat is nicely fitted into a single, small column.

Certainly not life changing, but after using it for a while, I can tell you that every time I'm on a machine that doesn't have exa, I feel so frustrated ls doesn't give me everything exa has. I often end up downloading exa on any machine that doesn't have it
