> We've tried setting strict time limits and rules for when he can watch them.. but it's not helping. The only thing left to do is purely ban it. But the cat is out of the bag and he took a huge dump.

How are you setting limits? Verbally?

Just enforce the time constraints through the router. Tell the kid you can only watch youtbe/netflix for 40 minutes or whatever at a specific time. Set the mac address filtering and rules on the router, and ta-da!
It's possible. Like I said, I'm sure they A/B tested the shit out of this... I just don't know why this keeps happening. Your hypothesis is as good as any right now!
Well, above all, you value experience.

Seriously, the degree to which age discrimination is an accepted reality in tech today is a great failing, and one that has enormous hidden costs over time.

Sadly I know a number of extremely talented older engineers who have been discarded like trash only to be constantly rejected in their search for new employment, until some of them just give up. It's remarkably ignorant and short-sighted of employers who practice this kind of discrimination.
I recommend Tiny Core Linux and neverware. Neverware might not work on your laptop though because support isn't always very good. I have run TCL on desktops with MBs of ram.
That most prisoners are serving for merely drug offenses is a myth. A huge percent have drugs on the list of crimes they were convicted for, but almost all of them have a violent crime on there as well. Mass incarceration is due to high rates of violent crime and strong punishments for them, not drug enforcement.

Not to mention that their website was pretty much constantly down during the recent period of Ethereum volatility. Whenever Ethereum price started to move (which is exactly the moment when people want to sell/buy) they would go tits up. And not just for a minute or two, but hours.
This happens to me all the time, as well. I read a lot, and I buy a book on my Kindle and two days later get a promo email with the same book in it. I imagine their emails are just less sophisticated and target tens of thousands of customers per batch, rather than sending individuals perfectly tailored emails... Still, you're right. It's annoying.
I'm thinking some people are misunderstanding the point of my statement and assuming things.
Seconding HtDP. I have gotten lots of mileage from that one.
Like I said, I'm positive they A/B test the crap out of it, so I'm sure it brings in more conversions... but that is sooo counter-intuitive, I'm not sure what the rationale is.
Intersystems Cache ObjectScript and Ensemble! The language is battle tested (~60 years old) and no need to worry about setting up database connections because the language has a persistence built in!

The Ensemble integration engine has adapters for almost any web protocol you can imagine and make it a breeze to create microservices.
I expect most DEFCON people would gladly accept the inconvenience of a smaller choice of flights, if it removed the possibility of being detained while ensuring the conference is still well-attended. You can't realistically move DEFCON too far, and the other options (Mexico, Caribbeans...) are not exactly a step forward in terms of liberal rule of law.

I think the main problem will always be people who can't (or won't) cross the US border at all, no matter how easy it is. I expect this number is significant among the DEFCON crowd. Still, at some point, the organisers will have to consider whether keeping those types around is worth putting all their non-US guests at risk of draconian imprisonment.
Potentially!

I wasn't insinuating pocketing cash.

I was insinuating tax avoidance methods. Which are completely legal and how every small business stays afloat. (Write offs, SEP IRA, Depreciation, company car, office space, etc.)
I'm assuming they meant deleting the <div class="video-player"> or <video> HTML element itself.
As I understood it, they'd have to MITM both Keybase.io and every single one of the websites where a given user verifies their identity (and then there's certificate pinning which I would assume the Keybase client would know about and respect, but then again if your download of the client was compromised ..). Not impossible, but there's a lot of logistics to get right.

Also, they'd have to do it as you sign up. Once your profile is active and you've followed people and their signatures are cached on your local computer, the root CAs are no longer the single point of failure and MITM'ing becomes impractical.

That said, if a state, especially the one you're in, targets you personally, you're going to have a bad time.
Didn't you guys write an OS X rootkit back in the day?

Although I can see the line between that and this, I find it worringly thin. Throw in a leaked IRC log joking about using it for criminal purposes and an overzealous prosecutor, and you'd probably be done.

Not to mention, it's idiotic to spend resources on prosecuting this guy. His life is effectively over, as he can now only ever use his skills for illegitimate work. Nobody will hire him. Since he was no longer an active accessory to crime and had already spent several years focused on legitimate work, society was far better off allowing him to continue on that path. He probably even more than made up for it by enabling hospitals to treat patients with the wannacry thing.

Instead, we have thrown all that away so some prosecutor can put a notch on his belt and brag about taking down something insignificant because he couldn't get anybody that really mattered. Who, by the way, has a long line of other sellers and is still looting bank accounts.
To properly measure that you'd have to be constantly trying to use the phone (and power network) that entire time though no? I.e. Your random sample is not representative of when the service was actually available?

India’s Government Wants to Ban Self-Driving Cars to Save Jobs

Glad to see him involved. I think he's earned enough credibility with moving forward battery and electric car technologies so that all can benefit. The current batch of hyperloop startups don't seem all that promising and a potential bunch of patent hoarders.
No, that's not true. The aviation community's welcoming attitude goes way back before the government started to regulate it. I'd say it's because aviation began as a homebrew activity whereas cryptography was born in the military and academia.
Block scripts at one level or another. On that particular page, it goes assets.bwbx.io -> cdn.gotraffic.net -> imasdk.googleapis.com which introduces some XHR from hopx.cedexis.com and (a subdomain of) akamaihd.net, and the video plays.

> What do you base this on?

Experience?

One does not get 'proficient' in a week in any given language. One can build up a program in a new language in a week, but that does not mean proficiency. It takes between many months and a few year to become proficient in a language: it is the outcome of a process of exploration, trials, mistakes, discoveries of better or more adapted ways, finding out the shortcomings an learning to work around them, picking a right balance between ease to write and ease to read, ease to write and performance...
By having them work on one of humanity's most important exploration projects ever. I get the impression that a lot of these folks are big picture types and that it would take a lot more than a pay raise to drag them away from their life's work.
Amazing if they can manage to get this level of quality without requiring very special lighting conditions.
Low-Code: Can It Speed Up DevOps, Agile?
This is especially relevant if you're running in the cloud.

We've recently run into slow performance with gettimeofday on Xen systems, such as EC2 (see: https://blog.packagecloud.io/eng/2017/03/08/system-calls-are...) This hits particularly hard if you're running instrumented code. Switching the clocksource from xen to tsc seems to help and we're still evaluating the ramifications of doing so (various sources including the above seem to suggest that tsc is unsafe and prone to clock skew, but others suggest that it's ok on more modern processors.)
The impression I get from googling it is that it is, in fact, a separate entity from Elon's other venture, or rather as separate as an Elon company can be.

Python vs. Node.js: Which Is Better for Your Project
It says 50x , but i am assuming even a 10x improvement in efficiency with the already crazy increases in speed would be great, hopefully with a way to recoup the investment in 20-30 years.

Also was wondering whether above ground system is cheaper outside cities than tunneling but i guess they feel that tunneling is cheaper if they get the purported 10x gains they want there
So there's a performance bug in Java's currentTimeMillis() implementation on Linux, where it uses gettimeofday() instead of clock_gettime() with a coarse timer (even the TSC method is ~3x slower or worse than the coarse timer, which has sufficient precision for currentTimeMillis()). Is there a bug filed for this? It seems to warrant one.
Think through the 3% bit a little bit. Do you think that the banks charge 3% because their settlement software is that much less efficient than a blockchain?

Of course not. You're paying for customer service, marketing, fraud protection & settlement, and a host of other things with that 3%. It's not 3% because that's what it costs to run a computer to figure out payment processing, it's 3% because that's what the banks can charge to run their business. In effect most people pay 2% or less because of credit card points, so really it's just a forced discount on retailers. Again, because the banks can.

> Depending on your threat model it could be totally okay not to know who you are visiting. "Random" example: if you are using a search engine to discover new hidden services, you can't know their names in advance anyway…

That's all technically true, but I doubt even HN readers really understand what that means. So let's compare...

If you open up a Google Chromebook and discover new sites by going to the default page which is a search engine also owned by Google, who a) because of the sorry state of CAs has implemented its own open source tool to watch the set of known certificates for any funny business that would signal a break somewhere in all that overly-complicated brittle technology, and b) is Google's bread and butter such that if they started mapping site titles/descriptions (which you've probably heard of out of band) to different URLs would lose their stranglehold on the industry, not to mention such an attempt would be reported widely in the news media... you can't know their names in advance anyway.

vs. an expanded version of the original:

If you are discovering new services via a new search engine released from an entity you've never heard of that maps page titles/descriptions of hidden services you've never heard of to human unreadable strings on an anonymity overlay for which phishing scams, covert site takeovers, and drive-by malware attacks don't make the front page of most news media... you can't know their names in advance anyway.

I tried colemack for a little while, and was able get to up to a slowish but bearable speed (I think around 65wpm iirc) for English sentences. And it definitely felt better and was tempting to keep going.

But I ran into a few things thay ultimately made me give it up.

Oke was emacs shortcuts — it turns out I mostly don’thave these memorized as letters, but just locations. So then trying to translate from location to querty to colemack was pretty brutal.

The other big problem is you’re instantly less efficient using anyone elses computer.

And a final one was programs that chose shortcuts thoughtfully for qwerty suddenly had really randomly chosen shortcuts.

I do kind of want to give it another shot though....
One of the reasons I never continued on to do an Honours degree is because the University would have retained the copyright in my work, and the rights to license it commercially. I thought it was outrageous as well. But that was over 15 years ago, so maybe the situation has changed since.

How to Create an Insider Incident Response Plan
I don't think it's quite the same.

She could have been living a double life and not been an assassin. They aren't synonymous. People live double lives where they have multiple families, or other things. A double life isn't only reserved for assasins, so the clarification is actually quite important.

The author was explaining that he just found out that his girlfriend was living an alternative life in addition to the one he knew. Then he clarifies, what the "double life" was, it was as an assassin.
I skimmed, but I couldn't find anything that indicates that a civil party can execute the warrant. To be clear, is not interesting that a court can order the forfeiture of property; it's interesting that a civil plaintiff can execute the order.
Its definitely about how the compounding of two taxes is a lot.

If you live in a country that doesnt have a tax treaty with the us for example, for every 100 dollars, you could potentially have to pay 35 in the US, and then of the 65 left, 22.75 more to the home country, for a whooping total of 57.75% tax rate.
Anecdote but for some reason when I signed up to Minder (actually is a Muslim Tinder) when I was drunk, for some reason it thought I was a woman (probably because also drunk at previous date I'd selected female pronouns on Facebook), so in an interesting turn of events, the Muslim dating app was suggesting I date men.
The Boring Company is a separate project from Hyperloop anyway. The plan is to have tunnel networks underground with sleds for cars, not vacuum tubes.
I don't like working with clojure.

Its basically modern perl. I've worked with both professionally, and the outstanding point with both has been:

- programmers try to be clever in their code, write one giant file full of complicated specialized 'beautiful' code, forget everything they know about breaking big tasks into simple small ones.

- code is a nightmare to maintain for non-author

- non-authors working on code results in adhoc mess of styles

Play with, sure. Learn a few things and watch the videos, absolutely. Rich is a really thoughtful talker. I actually quite enjoyed clojure before I had to collaborate on a code base.

...but goodness me. I cannot strongly enough recommend against using it professionally.

If what she said about killing the first person was correct, she felt remorse. She had a conscious, she just forced herself to ignore it until killing stopped bothering her.

Historical genocides, and massacres show that either there are a lot more latent sociopaths out there than we ever dreamed of, or normal people can become desensitized to killing.
Do you think it's OK for Amazon and other companies to do this in a more "corporate" sense?

Why is it OK for the big guy but not the little guy just because they have good legal/financial resources? For some small businesses in this country, it's the only way to stay competitive to big enterprise. See: Little pizza shop versus large franchise.

I'm talking about the spirit of the whole thing, not the law.

To be completely honest, most business will tell you this revolves around the criminal amount the card processors take from them in processing fees.
It sounds like something very few people would actually use. Why? Because everyone is busy and preoccupied with their own jobs. Sales VPs are busy trying to chase leads. Executives are busy managing their own product/employees, etc. Networking is one of those things people say they want to do more of, but in reality nobody finds the time to do so.
It's really an outdated concern anyway since most AIs run in realtime and are fed data direct from clickstreams / other realtime pipelines. It's unclear what a 'biased' data source means.
Shorthand: You can borrow 50%.

You can't put $10K into the account, buy $10K in shares, and borrow $10K in cash (leaving 0 net equity in the account).

Your scenario where you can borrow 100% of the value applies only if you apply that 100% to further shares (meaning you buy 2x as many shares and have a margin balance of 100% of your original equity but 50% of the shares' value).

That means you can buy $20K worth of stock using $10K of cash.

I'm super skeptical about Hyperloop and I was vehemently opposed to "wasting" tax money to build it but I'm pretty happy that he's giving it a try for real, obviously he believes in the project. Hopefully he'll prove naysayers like me wrong and we'll get a kickass futuristic mode of transportation out of it.

At least it puts to rest the conspiracy theory that he came up with the Hyperloop concept only to undermine the current bullet train projects .

I only hope that if it doesn't pan out it won't hurt his other ventures too much, but I suppose he knows what he's doing.
>Either you allow free speech or you don't,

If we reduce free speech to a binary yes/no, then almost no where has free speech because everywhere has limits on what it will allow. They might have as free of speech as legally possible. They may even allow some illegal content (stuff that is technically illegal but three letter agencies won't spend time hunting you down for hosting). But if we have it as a binary option, then no where has free speech.

Also, to somewhat contradict what I just said, most places don't even have 'as allowed to the maximum extent of the law' free speech. A really good test, would a website support nude non-pornographic images that aren't illegal (at least by federal US statute) but which most everyone will assume are illegal at first glance? I'm willing to bet they won't.

The biggest difference is the editor integration. Scala, like most languages has a REPL that's basically a toy you use on the side. Clojure REPL is tightly integrated into your workflow.

I did a talk last year where I illustrate it starting around 15 minute mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nItR5rwP4mY

I'm not aware of any non-Lisp languages that provide anything close to that.

The REPL driven workflow directly addresses the problem you're describing as well. When I'm working with Clojure, I never write a lot of code before running it. Each time I write a function, I run it and see exactly what it's doing. This means that I never have to keep a lot of context in my head.

Let's say I need to pull some data from the database, massage it, and return it to the client. I would write the function to read the data, run it to see what shape of the data I get. Then, I would write the function that consumes that data and transforms it. Again, I'd run it and see that I have the data I want, and so on. At each step of the process I only need to consider the last step and the next.

Also, Spec and Schema are commonly used in libraries to provide the description of the data at the API level. This is where I really care what the shape of the data is, as opposed to typing every single function I write.

The difference is in the editor integration. When you work with Lisp, your editor is connected to the running instance of the application. You have shortcuts to reload any symbol in the application at runtime directly from the editor.
