For those curious about what channels are likely available where you live, there are some excellent web-based tools at http://www.tvfool.com to help answer that.

You can give your address or coordinates and the height above ground of your proposed antenna, and they will calculate based on the location and height of your local station's antennas and the terrain between you and them how good your signal should be.

They will give you maps and tables showing this and showing what directions you need to aim your antenna for each channel.
Yeah, that kind of conclusion makes more sense as opposed to "If the events wouldn't have played out as they did, X would have happened". No one really cares, except to know that it would have been bad, which is why there is an investigation to begin with.

Ugh. And I'm closing the tab. Appreciate the effort with humor, but you really should concentrate on being able to write something that's informative and enjoyable to read, and THEN try your hand at making your writing funny. The first sentence/paragraph needs to be a hook to get people interested, not some meta jokey blurb that doesn't have anything to do with anything.
I see the most recent question answered 5 minutes ago (https://stackoverflow.com/search?tab=newest&q=mongoose%20).
Part of it is described in the Frama-C blog (http://blog.frama-c.com/index.php?post/2017/03/07/A-simple-E...). It actually presents a tutorial on the EVA plug-in (former Value Analysis) with Monocypher as a case study.

Note that this is the initial stage of using Frama-C. The next step would probably include writing some specifications for functional behavior (in ACSL), and then using the WP plug-in (based on weakest precondition calculus) to prove those specifications, providing much stronger guarantees.

A few Frama-C case studies are on Github (https://github.com/Frama-C/open-source-case-studies), including an old release of Monocypher, but they constitute mostly a initial parametrization of the EVA plug-in. Most advanced users of Frama-C apply it on industrial code that is not available, but academic users regularly publish papers with case studies (searching "frama-c" on Google Scholar gives good results).
I saw this presentation twice, and everytime is better. I love it.
"One moral of the above story is, of course, that we must be very careful when we give advice to younger people: sometimes they follow it!"

It is a class issue. Learning typical things in a new language one doesn't know is very difficult, so it requires more effort and potentially additional tutoring help. Wealthy families have the time and resources to deal with a heavier academic work load, but less wealthy families don't.

In practice the French immersion programs have become a sort of private school within the public system where rich people try to put their kids in it to try to give them an edge over anyone else.

A main issue is that there's seems to not be enough French teachers to expand the French immersion program to make it more accessible to everyone.
Having an http option makes it better for those on restrictive work networks--I'm downloading the file because I want to experiment with it, but I certainly wouldn't want a call from Networking asking why I'm torrenting stuff.
As nhpatt notes you're not actually calling obj.method here, you're passing it as an argument, which will be called at a later time.

Looking at a possible implementation of setTimeout makes it clearer:

function setTimeout(func, delay) {
// wait for the delay to complete..
func();
}

Here you can see that when the function is called there's nothing to the left of it.
Why wouldn't recycling be an option? Chances are that, if large batteries become commonplace, it will be cheaper to mine lithium from used batteries than to do so from the earth because they will have very high lithium content.

Also, covering 1/3 of daily use seems low to me. It wouldn't get one through a few windless winter days with dense cloud cover, for example.
I suspect the most common comment on HN would be asking what Splinder plans to offer to differentiate itself from Where White People Meet, the startup in that space that got media attention last year.
re networking vs security-critical code

Anything that accepts data from potentially-malicious sources is security-critical if it's itself privileged or produces data/events that go to something else privileged. Such analysis is usually used to determine the "Trusted Computing Base" (TCB) of a system that encompasses everything that might be used to break the security policy. All people who do real, security engineering keep it in mind, minimize it, strengthen it, and document what's left.

Here's an example from high-assurance field of what that looks like where they prototype an architecture for VPN's that minimizes TCB of key components:

https://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/mikrosina/dach2005.pdf

Far as qualifying the TCB, the seL4 team's What is Proved and What is Assumed is a great illustration of keeping it real about the security claims:

https://sel4.systems/Info/FAQ/proof.pml

Also shows their TCB is a lot bigger than their tiny kernel. Fortunately, there's been high-assurance developments to solve most of those things. I've seen robust, networking stacks but don't think they're high-assurance yet. If they're complex and done in C, here be dragons.
Till recently there were few options to really be able to use bitcoins and Ethereum for transactions.

Solving Imaginary Scaling Issues (at Scale)
If we still paid for software like we did 15 years ago, we'd probably have a perfect solution by now. Instead we have a bunch of "free" options that all want to harvest our data.
Yeah, that makes sense. The share class example was a stupid one, but perhaps then it would work with a spin-off company? Although as you say, no one would probably do it, if nothing else because of the probable backlash of PR. Although it does make for an interesting thought experiment.
Whether Tesla survives or not, these billions are some of the best spent money on the planet in the last 50 years.

What are the accumulated losses so far? $5-10B? Even if Tesla were to spend another $50B and go bankrupt, I would still maintain it's great.

What Tesla has achieved is so important in the long run for the environment, for ending the strategic dependence on oil dictatorships, and for renewing the belief in technology. And the cars are really nice too.

Speculating, as some do, that the EV revolution would end with a Tesla bankruptcy is silly, not just because Google and Apple (and probably other companies) would be more than happy to take over before or after a bankruptcy, but also because consumers and the the auto industry have now been shown where to go. None of us can unlearn what Tesla has taught us. There is no way back now. Tesla has already won.
Gross margins are significantly higher than that (maybe below Tesla's 25%, but they sell many cars cheaper than the model S).
This is a different argument and one already addressed by OP:

> For example in Sweden, which is doing it's best to increase gender equality, sex differences between men and women maximized http://jamda.ub.gu.se/bitstream/1/833/1/scb_eng_2014.pdf

Should we disregard either sex’s happiness in relentless pursuit of outcome equality?

I am using nginx now on top of centos for one site but the reverse proxy for example not using that.

> An organization which _always_ values data-driven decision making over expertise-driven decision making is always going to fall prey to this myopia.

This is a huge and under-appreciated concern. It's disturbing how often success is measured by optimizing a single metric, and how resistant people can be to recognizing issues with this approach.

A goal like "improve clickthrough rates" is easy to measure, but without some human insight it's all too easy to achieve it at the cost of overall success. Did you decrease time-on-page? Maybe your visitors feel mislead. Did you decrease conversion rate? Maybe your new visitors don't actually want your product. And so on, indefinitely, including lots of side effects you might not have convenient statistics for.

I have a depressing sensation that at least half of corporate data science consists of abusing Goodhart's Law - finding a useful metric and then naively optimizing for it until it's no longer representative of business success.

For buisness file sharing it has been solved dozens of times. The problem is that the solution tends to turn file sharing into a managment problem.

>Given that both are public schools open to all

In the first few years of your education, yes they are open to all. However, once a child has gone through several years of french immersion, they have the ability to choose between continuing in french, or dropping into english. A child who has done only english has a similar option, but it will require considerable extra work on their part to switch to french. So a public french immersion high school cannot be considered open to all.

>care enough about their kids' education (specifically knowledge of French)

Not specifically. Certain public schools can be more well funded, or specialize in different areas than others. A school which has a french immersion program might also have a heavier focus on academics than other schools. Once it gains a better reputation, it might become attractive even to those who aren't interested in having a better education. A french immersion program is a way of limiting such peoples access to these schools.
"We would instead learn to pay admiring attention to those who had accepted with a reasonable show of dignity and grace that the natural price of long-term togetherness is a decline in the quality and frequency of sexual contact – and that this is, in a great many cases, a price very much worth paying."

Because for many, when one is bored with their current partner, passionate sex is just an affair away.

> it's inevitable that we also learn to control our own evolution.

The problem here is the pronoun "we" and "our". It isn't "we" who are going to control evolution. It is a select group of wealthy elites.

Also, just because china and russia might do it doesn't mean that we necessarily should do it. After all, the pioneers of illegal human experimentation was the US and britain but most of the world didn't follow along.

I agree with you that genetic engineering ( controlled evolution? ) is inevitable. But that doesn't mean we should ignore the ethical concerns and other such pitfalls.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say nobody implemented Argon2 because of the aforementioned rule when it's also been pointed out in this thread the vast number of times that people have rolled their own crypto libraries. That would suggest to me that there are other factors at play with your example. Possibly due to the relatively young age of that specific KDF, or perhaps it's lesser known compared to many of the others? I don't really know enough about Argon2 to make any specific comments there but in the more general sense it has been proven on here already that many people do make hobby projects of rolling their own libraries.

I agree with my whole heart. I think we have a moral imperative to develop electronic transportation, sooner rather than later. We think about the future much too little.

Ever since we decide to concentrate farming and transport most food to mouths, we've relied on oil as a life-support system for 7.5+ billion people. There is no going back to pre-oil without a lot of those people dying, and oil will eventually be too pricey to extract. We should think harder about post-oil.

Ask HN: Should I buy a boat and live off the grid?
The situation is as follows:

I live in Stockholm but my current lease will run out at the end of August. Now it is entirely possible for me to get a new apartement. But a thought has lodged in my brain that I can not get rid of. I want to buy a boat, find a slip here in Stockholm and live on the boat for the foreseeable future. I'm sure I could handle the practicalities of it. On the pro side is the fact that I want to try to live on a boat (quite small sailboat in this case) and "off the grid". Sure it's a bit romanticised, but isn't your youth the time to make mistakes?

On the con side I'm worried my social life will suffer, I might lose friends. Can't invite people home. People don't want to date a hobo living on a boat?

So my questions is: How severe is the stigma around living on a boat? Does anyone have experience of living in a way that's looked down upon by the rest of society?

Ask HN: Is There a Service to Test Your Own Online Security?
Recently, I've seen quite a few warnings about data breaches, social engineering and people getting their accounts compromised in general. It's pretty scary stuff, and the comments about how most people would be affected by it kind of terrifies me.

However, at the same I also feel I wouldn't be affected due to my security practices. These include using a different randomly generated password for every site, not clicking links from any email or social media message I didn't set off myself (like from a lost password process) and generally being cautious about fake login pages and phishing.

However, I acknowledge I don't really know this. I mean yeah I haven't had any accounts hacked so far, but I really don't know whether that's due to skill, luck or simply not being targeted by anyone at the moment.

So is there a way I can put this to the test? Like a service where you sign up and they see whether they can hijack your accounts with various social engineering tactics?

Ideally with the guarantee that the service wouldn't try and hack your accounts afterwards or wouldn't sell your personal data to the highest bidder on some dark web marketplace.
