About twenty years ago, I bought a new Qik 40 tape drive from the bargain bin at a big box office supply store. I felt I had an analogous use case...backing up all my personal and business and hobby data in case I needed it one day. The best most productive use I ever got out of it was moving a bunch of software and data from the office to my home computer. In those days the practical easy alternative was primarily 3.5" floppy disks, so a tape that could hold 60mb was pretty damn attractive. The full picture is that I also copied all my personal data onto tape twice, just in case. A year or two later, I bought a Zip drive so I could exchange data with clients. I copied "just in case" personal data onto Zip disks because it was more convenient than the tape. A couple of years later, I got a laptop with a CDRW and it filled a similar role. Then a desktop with a DVDRW.

About a year ago, I was going through some boxes at my parents house. There was a box of 5.25 DS disks holding backups of my important data. The only copy. Like all the Qic 40 tapes and Zip disks and most of the CD's and DVD's, they wound up in the trash.

For me, backing up personal stuff onto some technology has been mostly an exercise in spending time and money deleting it. I guess the practical heuristic is that if I can live with it being offline, I will live if I delete it. And the moral of the story is that deleting it sooner rather than later is cheaper.

Tape is a great technology when it makes money. It is a lousy consumer technology. Ebay shows me one "qic 40 drive." It's only twenty years later.

Yes. Coinbase calls BTC transfers withdrawals, and it screwed me over a lot when I found that out.
As linked elsewhere in this thread: https://medium.com/@Alexoppenheimer/you-pick-the-valuation-i...

Private valuations combine "assessing value" with "striking a deal". I don't think it makes much sense to treat them as real numbers when it's possible for people to say things like "we don't want a down round later, value us at 20% less than that".
For a start, the image that thibran posted could be fixed. It isn't consistent about whether the bordered rectangles represent represent onFoo() calls or the state after their calls.

The page it comes from says « the colored ovals are major states the Activity can be in ».

There should be a coloured oval for the (rather common) state where the Activity is the background after onStop(), and the two arrows coming out of onStop() should come out of that oval.

I'm super-excited to see this. I really hope it works out. Thanks for doing it.

Honestly I find how this country treats those with a felony record absolutely disgusting. The "Are you a convicted felon?" is a scarlet letter that never seems to disappear. While this might've originally been well-intentioned, IMHO it perpetuates criminality as I suspect what other choices do a lot of former felons have?

There was (is?) a campaign in Massachussetts to retroactively pardon a felony conviction for Mark Wahlberg. Apparently this makes it difficult to, say, get liquor licenses and so forth.

Personally I"m 100% against a commutation for the rich and famous. What we should be doing is freeing people from this stigma, particularly when the crime was a long time ago, especially nonviolent and likely not relevant to your job.

FYI Mark Wahlberg's felony conviction was violent and pretty egregious actually as it was IIRC a racially-motivated attack on a Vietnamese man.

Ask HN: How to leave Linkedin?
Once I joined Linkedin, but I find their service and many e-mail messages disrespectful, deceptive, distracting,
insulting, and infuriating.

At their Web site I tried to cancel my membership or at least stop their e-mail messages, but I saw no way to cancel; I couldn't log on using any of the three old passwords I have for them; and to stop the e-mail messages giving them only my e-mail address I went through several of their captchas with no success and gave up.

At their Web site I could see no other way to contact them. So, at the SEC site Edgar I looked up their mailing address and phone number and called them. All I could get was just a recording that gave their FAX number. I wrote them a letter and tried to send via FAX, but their FAX line seems permanently busy. So, I printed a letter and will send it USPS.

Somehow I suspect that the letter will be ignored.

Is it nearly impossible to get Linkedin to cease and desist? Is there a way?

Exactly this. White collar crime is typically punishable by a fraction of one's winnings -- if it is even stopped at all.

As someone who broke a whole lot of laws in his late teens and got off pretty easy for all of it, I wholeheartedly agree. They could have thrown the book at me but they didn't. Also, it helps if you don't confess to anything and hire a good attorney even if you end up taking a plea.

Let's face it, America sucks in a ton of ways and the biggest crooks are bankers and people in finance--they stole billions and got away with it over and over again. So nothing else quite compares except maybe whatever goes on with the CIA and drugs.
In a past job I was responsible for hiring a few warehouse workers, and in one case I was actually relieved to find that the applicant was on probation for a drug charge, and was required to submit to weekly urine tests. Basically the state was paying to guarantee that this worker was staying clean, and so I was pretty confident about hiring him. I wonder if other employers would be interested in that kind of info as well.
Well... The team member who contacted me told me he had got Krita on his arch laptop and loved it. And since it's impossible to attach strings to something like Krita...

I have to admit, two weeks ago I (and Irina, who does the artist interviews on krita.org) got some very insistent mails from some company that promised a 20k/month income if only we'd embed their hidden tor node software in Krita. I deleted those mails, of course, but not having heard of Private Internet Access before, I initially thought they were related!

But no, not at all. And, yes -- I have to admit, do live under a stone, in a cave. I spend so much time on Krita that large parts of the world pass me by. To me, a VPN is an ssh connection...
My rule is simple. At the point where my mind snaps in half because I've been hearing those surprise egg videos for far too long as background noise, "toy video" time is over, and it's time to choose another genre. I assist by selecting a new vector (robots! rockets! ponies! kid cooking videos!) and give the iPad back.
That's hilariously expensive... Never mind Pi-Hole on an actual RPi, I can set up my own VPS running Pi-Hole for half that. Is the effort of setting up Pi-Hole on my own really worth a premium of $4/month?
That assumes you are aware of every file format ever and can also spare the resources to search through every file. Otherwise, the inside of a large compressed file has about as much entropy as an encrypted one.
State and federal governments do not get as much tax revenue either because these people are not earning at their full potential. So basically, it hurts everyone involved as well as society as a whole.

Is there a decent future for business schools?

Yes, as long as you understand their purpose. They exist as a form of class signalling. [0] Many of the older forms of nepotism/cronyism have been made illegal. Racial and IQ discrimination are also illegal. Therefore, business schools and law schools fill the gap. They exist to tell an employer that the applicant is either a member of their class or an ally.

> why would I be buying something like a cooking pan (as someone mentioned) online

I don't know if similar applies to the US, but at least in the UK you get stronger protections when buying online (because you can't inspect the item before hand). If I buy stuff in person, then find it is not suitable for what I need, I might be stuck with it depending on the store (assuming it is as described and not faulty). If I buy it online, I can just send it back (possibly paying postage costs, but most places offer free returns).

For instance I've got a external hard drive on its way back to Amazon because, after testing, found that the performance isn't up to snuff. Had I purchased it in person, I may not have been able to return after use (because the packaging doesn't make any claims regarding performance, it'd be difficult to claim it is faulty/not as described).

> Well, if you look at the design goals of WebAssembly [1], you'll see very different high-level goals. Sure, there is some intersection, but not nearly as much as you seem to believe.

Yes. Because it's not tied into a single programming language

> Now, there are very good reasons to not ship bytecode (e.g. because once you standardize the bytecode on which your VM runs, you're dead in the water and your VM stops evolving). The binary AST was carefully designed to avoid this issue.

Oh. Right. Because binary AST is not something that will be standardized on, and once you're set on a particular version of the AST, you're not dead in the water?

Oh. Wait. Let me quote the proposal:

--- quote ---

The grammar provides the set of all possible node kinds and their ordered properties, which we expect to be monotonically growing. However, not all vendors will support all nodes at any given time.

... parsing a correctly formatted file fails if a parser encounters a feature that the engine does not implement

--- end quote ---

Same problems

> Indeed, as written in the proposal, there is no guarantee that sending bytecode would be any faster to transmit/parse/start. Moreover, experiments suggest that it wouldn't.

Let me quote the WebAssemply READMEs

--- quote ---

Wasm bytecode is designed to be encoded in a size- and load-time-efficient binary format. WebAssembly aims to execute at native speed by taking advantage of common hardware capabilities available on a wide range of platforms.

The kind of binary format being considered for WebAssembly can be natively decoded much faster than JavaScript can be parsed (experiments show more than 20× faster). On mobile, large compiled codes can easily take 20–40 seconds just to parse, so native decoding (especially when combined with other techniques like streaming for better-than-gzip compression) is critical to providing a good cold-load user experience.

This presents an interesting dilemma here for an ex-con. Most people can eventually get their records expunged after they're out for a while, at which point we as a society demand that they start responding "no" to the questions about having a criminal record during the interview process. It's dishonest but it's how the legal system works.

If you're an ex-con who will eventually get his record expunged, is there any risk to participating in a job board like this? I'm guessing it is pretty small, and the advantages presented by the site will be worth it. Still, it's ironic that eventually users will probably be in a position (after expungement) where it is not in their interest to use the site anymore. I wonder if, when this site is successful, it will eventually want to team up with a more conventional job site to move some of those users over. Just a thought.

He joined in 2013.. this story broke in oct 2015 in the wsj. And he resigned in December (along with other boards he was on) to join the trump admin.

So there's an open question about when he knew about this fraud. But clearly he didn't have a problem staying on even after it became public knowledge.

And there's also this:

In 2012, for instance, Holmes began talking to the Department of Defense about using Theranos’s technology on the battlefield in Afghanistan. But specialists at the D.O.D. soon uncovered that the technology wasn’t entirely accurate, and that it had not been vetted by the Food and Drug Administration. When the department notified the F.D.A. that something was amiss, according to The Washington Post, Holmes contacted Marine general James Mattis, who had initiated the pilot program. He immediately e-mailed his colleagues about moving the project forward. Mattis was later added to the company board when he retired from the service. (Mattis says he never tried to interfere with the F.D.A. but rather was “interested in rapidly having the company’s technologies tested legally and ethically.”)

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/09/elizabeth-holmes-the...

So he was told by the DOD that it didn't work after he initiated a pilot program for Theranos.. and continued to push it internally.

Are you driving for Uber/Lyft?

No you can't.

The data you can't read is not only encrypted data. Most unencrypted data will be data you can't read, due to there being absurd amounts of file formats and protocols. How do you intend to be able to validate that the content of all, say, CAD and 3D model files is not malicious? How will you deal with new codecs? New network protocols?

Encrypted data is, unless the protocol is severely broken, almost indistinguishable from random data, which without context and knowledge of all file formats and protocols in the world, is indistinguishable from most real, unencrypted data. And not only that, you can hide information in almost any data type. Encrypted content can be hidden in a perfectly normal looking picture or video just fine. Look up steganography.

Encrypted communication cannot be detected in any sane manner.

If you're an American, there are huge parts of the country where lacking a car is infeasible.

But for the sake of argument, let's say you shutter your car. You can spend a ton of time walking to, and waiting on, public buses, time you can't use to study for a degree, or be with your kids. Maybe you rely on a friend's car, but then you miss out on last-minute shift opportunities, and your friend's transport problems become your problems, too, so if they're sick, you miss a shift and risk getting fired.

You're so out-of-touch, I'm surprised you didn't just say "Let them Uber to work, then."

They don't need to store everything. All that's needed is the list of addresses and balances (UTXOs), and the last few blocks. A hash chain of 10 years of 10 minute blocks is only a few MB, so it should be something we can distribute reliably. UTXOs are a couple GB but will grow.
