It's covered by the guideline that says "Be civil". Insinuating that someone else is a shill (i.e. lying for money) is deeply uncivil.

It's impossible to make a list of all proscribed behaviors and if we tried, people would take it as a license to do anything not on the list. So that's not the way it works.

As for whether the 'don't insinuate astroturfing/shillage' bit is enforced, try scrolling through https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&prefix=true&page=0&dateR... and you'll find dozens if not hundreds of cases. Actually I've posted so many of these that my body rejects writing them and I have to trick myself into doing it.
A better prediction: There's going to be a bunch of random movement that causes random fluctuations in holdings of various people.

If it serves as consolation, the Ninth Circuit already has an YouTube channel[1], of which I'm a frequent viewer. For some good back-and-forth, I recommend watching hearings with Judge Kozinski.

Thanks! Isn't this something a currency should fundamentally prevent? I don't know of any real-world currency that can be used twice.
Yes you can - bitcoin held prior to the fork is valid on both chains. And yes it is still going up. An alternative scaling solution (to the big blocks proposed by the 'new' fork) Segwit will be going ahead - aiding the scalability of 'old' Bitcoin fork, which may explain some/all of the price rise. Along with the uncertainty reduction post fork.

'New' and 'old' here are somewhat arbitrary/controversial ways of thinking of the fork. Proponents of Bitcoin cash might argue having no limit was closer to Satoshi's original intention - the block limit was originally added in as a temporary measure.
Lots of politics going on around that.
I never really understood the distaste for it, or how it’s non-obvious. It seems like the people I’ve talked to object to the punctuation-based syntax more than the semantics, because it exactly mirrors conditional statements, even when nested. (Well, except in PHP, but that’s a bug in the grammar.)

if (a) { b } else if (c) { d } else { e }
a ? b : c ? d : e

if (a) { b } else { if (c) { d } else { e } }
a ? b : ( c ? d : e )

The question mark goes after the thing you’re asking about, like in English. The colon to separate the true and false branches is totally arbitrary, I grant you. I’d prefer to have the if…else notation available as an expression, but the statement-expression distinction hasn’t quite died yet.

Personally, I don’t care for Python’s version with the condition and true branch swapped, because I read it like invalid Forth, expecting “condition IF true-branch ELSE false-branch THEN”. :P

Well, they're converting IP to money. The fact that their device is delivering adrenaline is almost irrelevant. Except for the dose sensitivity and life/death context, which make it a perfect setup. Price gouging is also an issue for asthma inhalers, for the same reason.
I'm here just to say I appreciate the irony of an economist calling someone a "BS vendor"
It's not being used twice though on any individual fork. Plus the value would have to split for any fork.
What happens if you hack your cable and get free service, then are found out?
I was using the terms of the user guide. Building and Distributing Applications. Which is first an scheme object file, which you can start with `petite myapp.so`.
So the exe is either chez or petit which loads the scheme object files.

Unlike Allegro or Lispworks or clisp or Corman Lisp single exe's.
Oh, you can do great stuff with them. For example you can train them on Q&A for technical questions, using Databases like Stackoverflow and a NN.
I feel the article is not quite fair in its coverage of Hackers. Sure, the movie gets many things absurdly wrong, but it also depicts social engineering (calling a security guard and tricking him into telling the hacker a modem's phone number), dumpster diving in hopes of finding interesting documents and guessing passwords. These could be straight from Kevin Mitnick's memoirs, Ghost in the Wires (which came out years later). I think the movie might actually get more things right than it gets wrong.
I first met Martin over a skype call and he was very humble—his identity online is just a brand.

2 years later, I stumbled into him again and asked him for advice on affording a cancer drug for a relative. He helped me find the charities and also introduced me to a contact at the pharma company.

The internet prefers headlines over reality.
Why not use Lua, Squirrel or JavaScript as game programming language? Many game engines use one of these languages, especially Lua is very very popular in this niche, and LuaJIT is sooo fast. Also Java is used in several game engines. C# (Mono) was only used in Unity as one of three languages (one being JavaScript/Actionscript). What other well known game engines that are used for triple-A games use C#? We all know the troubles of Mono that meant for Unity for many years, they had to fork an old version due to draconic license changes - Mono was a bad choice for Unity. As triple-A games are developed for Windows7+ and PlayStation4 (and less often also macOS, Linux, XboxOne, Switch) usually cross platform languages like Lua, Javs, JavaScript or Squirrel are used.

We are talking about the game scripting language, the game engine is always coded in C++ for triple-A games, with only a handful outliers. It's different for indies. We all know how the "Managed DirectX" and the incompatibile successor XNA turned out, the C# DirectX community is dead, end of life and last supported on the old XBox360, dead like Silverlight https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_XNA .
The pharmaceutical industry spends heavily on lobbyists. Only AARP has much of a chance countering them.
>I'm not saying that having access to the raw data will be absolutely bad. I'm saying that bad things will happen because people will intentionally misinterpret it.

People already do.

My larger point was that role modeling making the law more publically accessible is a long term good because of the societal pressures it creates over time. Hypothetical bad actors in the short term are a constant but inane critique of just about any novel idea or approach.
You understand that the vast majority of jobs in Silicon Valley are not start ups. Google, Apple, Facebook -- these aren't start ups, and people aren't working 20 hour days there.

Moreover it's just not the case that someone can be productive for 20 hours a day for any extended period of time. Maybe you can do that for a few days, max, but then your productivity plummets and you'd be better off working 8 hours. This notion that 20 year olds have amazing concentration ability, rather than just poor time management, is believed only by 20 somethings with poor time management skills.
I'd have to disagree. Black mirror is gradually being shown to be fact.
It's more like if someone created a new currency and gave each owner of an existing currency (say, the dollar) an equivalent nominal amount of the new notes.
You can’t just conflate exploit research and trojan creation with some hand waving. They are two very different things - not just different words.
I think you argument...especially [1] is reasonable and fair. My response would be that much of that non-trivial burden seems largely created by the system, in an evolutionary biology sense they are defenses that have become defects, not inherent defects. This should seem like an opportunity for constructive reform...whether that is me being overly principled and idealistic is TBD.
If you read the indictment then you’d know he was arrested for selling the trojan and conspiracy, not for writing it.
Some other ways I measure the "techiness" of a company; how much of the payroll is spent on engineers and if they're using software to replace value typically provided by people.
Bitcoin Cash is a separate project and currency from Bitcoin. You can't pay someone who is expecting Bitcoin by sending Bitcoin Cash to them or vice-versa.

Bitcoin's code is open source and the balances of all addresses are public, so anyone could create a fork (a new separate currency based on it, optionally starting with the same balances).
Devil's Advocate on that: if you pursue something out of envy, it's very unlikely you're going to enjoy it nearly as much as anticipated, after acquisition.

There's a difference between pursuing what you want independent of particular concern for what others have, and pursuing something because someone else has it. The end result upon acquisition is entirely different. It's similar to fame or prestige in that sense, which are given to you by other people's often fleeting opinions, and are frequently torturous accordingly to the extent one cares about such.
Yeah ideally ancestors would be a `connection`/`edge` with filters:

}

Given his life style at Vegas and that he didn't even attend the conference, just went there for partying and meetups, the "chills" are different to the "chills" one would assume from reading the headline.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4762608/Marcus-Hutch...

They just caught another criminal hacker who was stupid and earned a lot of money from his Kronos hacks. The one chill is how stupid was he? Lamborghini? The second chill is how naive have I been when reading about the lone hacker fixing WannaCry and saving the world from his mom's house bedroom?

It's not clear that he would consider that a mistake
Why not red? I mean, how do you know there wasn't one?
So, let's suppose you don't create getters or setters, because all that function does is get/set the value.

Six months later, you discover that you, in fact, do need to do something besides getting/setting the value.

If you created a getter/setter, you could just change its code. If you, instead, had raw access to the field, you now need to update every single instance of client code that called your getter/setter.

Most of the time, your compiler/VM can optimize the getter/setter call away, and a bunch of trivial get/set logic isn't exactly the worst source of cognitive overhead.
Not at all saying that it's not the kick in the pants the governments of the world need. In fact it's probably exactly what they need. I think it's absolutely insane that in today's world we can't freely exchange currency world wide without being charged exorbitant fees.

I think the first stable government that promises this to the world (probably at first via country to country agreements) is going to see their value spike (in relative terms). Not exactly sure where this would ultimately leave Bitcoin...

Ask HN: India tech industry, discrimination to ones without tier1 college degree
Why the Indian tech industry is so ignoring and stereotyped towards people without a degree from tier1 college? It has become impossible these days to even get a SE or developer role interview if you don't have a tier 1 college degree in India. More and more job postings these days specifically mention tier1 college degree as a requirement. Its seems no matter what the degree matters the most because there are many instances I personally know of people with tier 1 degrees getting an interview than another guy even of the other guy has way better open source contribution and projects. Why is such high level of discrimination prevalent in Indian tech industry?
Right, but presumably a reasonably large merchant would find that they need to accept both though, right? And now you would have more purchasing power with them which feels a bit weird, since the old Bitcoin and the new Bitcoin would not have the same purchasing power...
In my project I use "env GOPATH=$PWD go ..." in the makefile, that way it all goes in the current directory. There's probably some good reason this is a bad idea, but go is kinda funky anyway so I make up my own best practices :-)

East Asian countries, Japan included, see ethnic and cultural homogeneity as a good and desirable thing (and are quite openly racist and xenophobic as a result).

OP is making a joke -- if you want to call Romain Britain ethnically diverse, you might as well call Japan ethnically diverse. The term becomes meaningless.
What if those people or organisations have a lot of repositories and they want to use a naming convention that reflects that maybe, just maybe, only a subset of their code is written in Go?

I recognise that you don't speak for the entire Go community, but frankly this kind of over-prescriptive preference presented as the only possible way forward is oddly common in what often seems more like a church than a programming language ecosystem.

Go is just a tool, like any other. If I happen to use git for versioning that's my choice, and I (and everybody else) can and should name and arrange repositories as is convenient.

There is no "in Go" to be had here; merely "in my project as makes sense for me".
But segwit isn't active yet is it? Is it likely to go ahead?
True but only to a point. Apple's scale gives them a price advantage from suppliers, which increases their relative margins.

Also note that not all parts that seem comparable are. For some parts like LCD panels that have more variance in quality, Apple has deals with suppliers to get the best panels while Dell and others have to buy the ones that don't hit quite as stringent QC.

Both of these are why looking at margins alone doesn't give you a complete picture.
Here in Ontario, it seems the government doesn't think too kindly of modifying smoke detectors[0], not sure about CO detectors. I suspect that wiring directly to the beeper is grey or black in many places. I guess you could do it if it's a redundant detector.

That doesn't quite add up to me. After all, we extract energy from heating differentials all the time in the form of windmills. This really just seems like a scheme for channeling what is basically the same air circulation. The argument being that ground-warmed air doesn't typically rise in a straight line, and so by preventing lateral convection, you'll get a much faster flow up the chimney.

The use of it for wind energy is less interesting to me, though, than the idea of getting hot air radiating further from the surface of the Earth. If that is indeed significant in how the greenhouse effect works, that alone seems worth considering.

Oh, very cool, thanks for posting. I had actually written a really basic cracker and started seeing if I could figure out how many of them belonged to shorter passwords, but you're doing a much, much better job of it than I am (I was just brute-force generating short passwords, no wordlists or anything).

Are you planning to make a blog post or anything "final" with the info you find out, or will you just keep updating those gists?
Just to advocate for the devil here, I think some advice is predicated on a shared model, between the giver and the taker, of how things work. If you don’t buy the model, then you probably won’t deeply understand or agree with the arguments that would get you from the model to the thesis.

While that's true, I've also read years and years of stories about how virtually every PC maker other than Apple is dancing on a razor's edge due to paper-thin margins. Dozens of manufacturers in the last two decades have gone under, been bought out or left the market; PC laptops used to be (and may still be, in some cases) crapped up with bloatware and festooned with stickers because each sticker you have to peel off and each bit of software you don't want is necessary extra revenue; the survivors like HP and Dell seem to bring in more profit through enterprise-level service contracts than hardware. And in the smartphone business, there have been quarters where Apple and Samsung together are making more than 100% of the profits because everyone else lost money.

...so, it at least seems plausible to me that Apple may be setting the prices for their PCs and "post-PC" products more correctly than most of their competitors. Even if that's true, the Apple Tax could still be a thing -- but the premium may be magnified by the "lose money on every unit and make it up in volume" tactic so many PC makers seem to have had through the 2000s.

Let's say you want to query Wikipedia for village descriptions, and get a map of matched villages from openstreetmap. Would it be a use case where GraphQL could help?
Then it would need a "translation" layer for both systems. And joins between datasets would be based (for example) on the couple "country+postalCode".
Is it a possible use case of GraphQL?
Hm. I guess it depends on your definition of mainstream.

In the front end space, functional programming is taking off, I think. Could be wrong, but React + Redux + immutablejs is a popular and very functional approach to UI.

Elixir appears to be on the same trajectory as Rails in it's early days. Anectodally, I know a lot of Rails devs and shops that are now primarily Elixir.

Most mainstream languages have adopted functional styles and best practices. Higher order functions, a general acknowledgement of the benefits of immutability, etc.

Fp may not be mainstream, whatever that means, but it's more popular than I can ever remember it being.

Here's the relevant treaty: http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/resources/archives/four/ftla... .

Not one mention of God.

TREATY WITH THE OTTAWA, ETC., 1821 - http://www.kansasheritage.org/PBP/books/treaties/t_1821.html . No mention of God, outside of a "in the year of our Lord".

Treaty With The Osage, 1825 - https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Treaty_With_The_Osage,_1825 only mentions "in the year of our Lord" and doesn't otherwise mention God.

Fort Bridger Treaty of 1868 - https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Fort_Bridger_Treaty_of_1868 has three "year of our Lord"s but otherwise no mention of God.

Moving now toward treaties with European nations:

Jay's Treaty (1794, with Britain) - https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Jay%27s_Treaty mentions God once, in a parenthetical note "If at any Time a Rupture should take place (which God forbid) between His Majesty and the United States ..." Otherwise, no mention of God.

Pinckney's_Treaty (1795, with Spain) - https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Pinckney%27s_Treaty again has no mention of God.

Treaty of Tripoli (1786) - https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tripoli doesn't call on God. This is the one which (in the English text ratified by the US Senate) famously says "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries." It is therefore unlikely to call on God as a witness.

Louisiana Purchase Treaty (1803, France) - https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Louisiana_Purchase_Treaty . No mention of God.

Where do you get your idea that treaties traditionally call on God as a witness?

EDIT: I looked for non-US treaties, but couldn't find the text for the Treaty of Aix-La-Chapelle or the Treaty of Åbo, which were the first I looked for. I then chose British treaties:

Treaty of Seville ("between the Crowns of Great Britain, France, and Spain, concluded at Seville on the 9th of November, N. S. 1729") - https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Seville . That one has "In the Name of the most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, three distinct Persons, and one only true God." and is made between "THEIR most Serene Majesties the King of Great Britain, the most Christian King, and the Catholic King". Otherwise, no mention of God as a witness to ensure the peace.

The closest I found was in the Treaty of Utrecht (1713) - https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Peace_and_Friendship_Treaty_o... has many references to God, including "But if (which God forbid) the disputes which are composed should at any time be renewed between their said Royal Majesties". The text "God forbid" was also used in two clauses regarding what happens should a royal not having children in the line of succession, so even this isn't quite the same as a "witness that treaties will be kept sacrosanct".
This has no bearing on TFA, but it was my impression that the physics of tornadoes and dust devils were actually known to be pretty different. Also the mechanism you describe doesn't sound like any of the proposals I've heard of. Do you have a digestible source for that? I'm just really curious about tornado formation.
> I think it's absolutely insane that in today's world we can't freely exchange currency world wide without being charged exorbitant fees.

So true. Where I am now the best option for sending / receiving money to the US is either a 50$ wire transfer, or Western Union gouging you to death. Even Paypal is not available here, and the ATM fees add up. It definitely hurts the people of poorer countries immensely to have a middleman in between all international payments. I imagine the typical case is people sending money back home to family members.
A possible trajectory that might eventually meet your prediction is the "e-residency" of Estonia [0]. Estonia is busy creating a kind of "digital citizenship" program which is pretty clearly aimed at attracting innovators and startups. If you haven't looked into it, it's worth a few minutes of your time just as an interesting thing happening.
