Not really. I can have fiber that's not utilized (Frontier) or cable with awful data caps and poor upload speeds (Comcast). Nearby there are a lot more options but since I'm in between two cities, I kinda get screwed. Good news though, Frontier will sell me gigabit for the low price of 299 if I'll take only 100mbps upload.
You should, boats are rad. In my experience it won't be as cheap as you think - but it is still awesome!
No shit. Hackers who didn't see that one coming would be wise to consider alternative hobbies.
> I never came across a fent addict

At least here in upstate New York, there aren't really 'fent addicts'. There are opioid addicts in general, but even the hardcore users are generally seeking heroin, not fentanyl.

People are _really_ scared of fentanyl...
Hey all!

I just returned from traveling for 7 months. I met so many people who were amazed about what I was doing (working while traveling). They literally had no idea that remote work and digital nomadism was a thing. When they found out from me though, they wanted it. This excited me that they were amped about the idea, but I had no scalable way to show everyone how to get a remote job.

So when I got back home I wrote down everything I knew about getting a remote job. I looked for the commonalities in the approaches I used to get three remote jobs in my career. The end result was a 7-day email course: http://robertgibb.me/free-remote-job-course/. I'm not selling anything here. I just chose email as a format because Mailchimp is free (for a while) and each lesson takes about a day to complete, especially if you already have a busy schedule. I felt that sending time-based emails would help keep people on track.

However, if you don't want to get the lessons dripped to you via email, you can check out all 7 lessons in this public Google Folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6BahD3pAp2ySURBSGlD...

I don't care how this information gets out there, I just know it needs to get out there. There are people who are on the brink of major depressions and breakdowns because of their shitty cubicle jobs. (I used to be one of them.) I wish someone would have sent me actionable information like this when I was fed up with my office job years ago.

I'm amazed and slightly confused at the idea that the act of writing a piece of software can in and of itself be illegal.

Do the laws require distribution or showing of intent to harm or simply writing malware?

Is there any precedent to democracies jailing a person over reducing to writing an idea or algorithm?
Interesting! Got a link for this? I haven't been able to find anything yet. Edit: don't tell me I missed the sarcasm!

Texas is a lot more than just Houston. Further, you want around 30-45% and AC only removes excess humity not 100% humidity. Also, it's summer and the second number that really matters so by comparison:

July:
San Antonio	44 (ok)
Houston	55 (+10)
Fort Worth	42 (ok)
vs.
Orlando	64 (+19)
New Orleans	66 (+21)

PS: Your AC lower air temp below your target room temp, and extracts water because that air is limited to 100% humidity. The air is then heated by your house which is how relative humidity drops. Aka they don't extract anything at 20% humidity and they extract everything over some % that varies based on outside temp.

>it would be a mistake to assume that others in the same position would do the same because you feel they should. They don't and they probably won't.

I don't assume that.

Decent human beings is a bit broad, but I do think they're engaging in an unethical action, yes.

>Holding HN to some kind of imaginary standard when it comes to discussing public companies is both unproductive and likely will not illuminate but will merely give the illusion that if someone does not disclose their position that they don't have any. After all, who will verify what anybody writes?

I don't expect to illuminate it and I don't think the community would fall for the illusion you think that it would any more than it already does. Perhaps the root disagreement comes down to doing what you can when you can even if the effect is only a small one, which is kind of what I'm doing here.

>full disclosure: I hold about 2 billion worth of Tesla stock...

I don't know whether you do or not (EDIT: do or do not disclose that is, for clarification) but I think if you post about Tesla without disclosing that holding, that's unethical. Whether it's against the rules or not.

Writing even this software wouldn’t have been illegal. It’s mentioned in the indictment as a concrete act in furtherance of a conspiracy, part of the technical abstraction of prosecuting a conspiracy in US law.

What is illegal is stealing from banks, and conspiring to steal from banks—and so they’ll show communication, an illegal agreement, and concrete acts in support of the conspiracy. If they weren’t pretty sure they could persuade a jury of those, they wouldn’t have gotten this far.

There are also some devices it’s illegal to build—bombs, for example, and other devices whose only or nearly-only purpose is illegal. Some software is included there, including software whose only purpose is illegal wiretapping.

That makes it legal to write and exchange proofs of concept for vulnerabilities, but you have to be really careful not to make the PoC too pointy.
More than half of the energy consumed in Texas is for industrial use, according to the EIA, while residential use—which in terms of sheer BTUs is the most in the nation, even as our per capita usage is relatively low—accounts for just over 13 percent.
Say what you will about Coinbase, but I really appreciate their willingness to adapt and respond to customer feedback.

I personally didn't want to take on the risk of creating a paper wallet and having to move my small amount of BTC from my Coinbase vault, so this is great news for me.

I've always wondered why we don't just put restrictions on hand guns, but leave rifles fairly unrestricted.

It seems like the majority of problems gun control advocates have with firearms is because of hand guns, which are small enough to be easily concealed by people that shouldn't have them in places they shouldn't have them. It also seems like the majority of the practical arguments that control rights advocates have center around the utility of firearms. And if you're making a case for firearms as a check on the government and military, you really want rifles over hand guns anyway.

If the major problems with guns are that they are easy to conceal and transport surreptitiously to locations they should not be, focusing on those attributes makes sense.
That's very interesting, and makes sense.
The author could change the name to pls (pretty ls). Still easy, confortable and differentiates it from ls, while maintaining proximity.
That's correct. If you had one btc before the fork, you now have one btc and one bch.

I wonder what implications this has to the global economy. If we continue to fork will there be a global hyperinflation?
I've heard of opposition to those signs for businesses and public areas, with an argument that carrying a gun in public is a civil right. I've never heard of any serious opposition for forcing guns on personal property, like homes. I'm sure some wingnuts are out there on the ultra-libertarian fringe, but I've yet to meet one in real life.

For my part I see the signs as useful. If I see a "gun free" sign on a business that just tells me to spend my money elsewhere if possible.
That's technically true, but the Patreon CEO has claimed that they're committed to free speech, which is false if they're going to kick out screaming lunatics who are protected under the definition of free speech. If so they shouldn't get credit for it.
Closures in JS are basically objects that have only one public property (called apply).

Modern JITs are good at optimizing static objects (provided props are never added or deleted and the types never change). There is still (from what I remember) a small performance increase to normal objects, but it only becomes significant if you are creating hundreds or thousands of them.

I'd say that in typical cases though that closures should be faster because devs tend to use them in ways that are easier to optimize (Closures don't ever add/remove properties and types are much more likely to stay the same).

This is an excellent example where phrase-based statistical machine translation is troublesome; the language model score of "his wife" is going to be dramatically larger "her wife" in any world where there are a lot more hereto married people. Neural MT should have a much better shot at getting it.
pi is superior in this respect: If you plug tau into euler's magic formula (e^(tau * i) == 1) it's mostly confusing, but if you plug pi in, (e ^ (pi * i) == -1), it's profound.

Huh?

Youtube is big media? It's only in recent history that Youtube is exercising power to decide what stays and what doesn't, even if it meets the youtube content policy. This is political opinion enforced by youtube.

Given Google is a public company, taking one side or another in a political discussion may not be in their interest, it would be their right of first amendment to change the sites they own as they wish, but it dilutes the usefulness and trustworthiness of their product in the eyes of the customers, and the stock holders may not like it that way. The employees have fiduciary duty to not impose their political views on their product.

I am asking these companies as a fan of their platform that they keep it neutral.

I am not selling any dogfood. I am asking dogfood companies to sell it to all dog owners, don't discriminate if they have a poodle or a pit bull.
Fentanyl is nothing compared to carfentanil - some 100x stronger, which is 10,000x stronger than morphine, gram for gram.

So much so that first responders are suffering serious overdose from inhaling bags of it accidently.

More crazy was the fact it's for sale on the darknet markets for as little as $150/gram. Worldwide legal use is about 50g a year.

This is what prohibition does - inctentivizes strength per unit mass. It's much easier to import 1g of carfentanil than 10kg of heroin. And I think it will just get worse and worse.
Hasn't this existed for a while now? I've been trading sensitive data with a friend using kbfs for what I think has been a year now.
That's not how deep learning works as I understand. Training and testing a NN on CBR would give you, at best, a NN with weights that was really good at recognizing parts of the CBR. Would you be inspecting the arrangement of weights and netowork? Would you look at other data trying to find hidden instances of parts of CBR? In pop music or old paintings?!

Or, maybe you could expand on what you mean by learn and understand in this instance.

Only if you believe BTC would've been at that same value without the fork.
There is a good chance that what people prefer does not correlate with what works best. People plan for their lives, the company plans for efficient work. This isn't uncharted territory, and I have never heard of any study claiming 12 hour shifts are more productive / safer / less error prone.
By that point BTC would most likely go down in value. The more people who use BCC, the more likely it is to overtake BTC. If less people use BTC, there won't be enough demand for it to maintain its current price.
Uh okay. I will say what I will. They could have held this position from the beginning if they had any foresight at all. How hard would it have been to say something like: 'We do not plan to support Bitcoincash given the impact on operations, security, and value uncertainty. If you want complete freedom with your Bitcoincash, take out your Bitcoin. Otherwise, we may add support in the future, but the timeline will be based on our determination of risk to our systems and effort required.'
Speed of Government << speed of business << speed of BitCoin forks

"viable alternative" seems pretty subjective.

CoinBase is a pretty damn big cryptocurrency exchange and it's based in the US and complies with US law. Mt Gox (an exchange that ceased operating a few years ago) was based in Japan and got pwned, causing the first large Bitcoin bubble burst. BTC-e just went down the same day Greek police arrested the alleged MtGox hacker, who reportedly had ties to BTC-e.

Choose your exchange carefully.

BMW already have a fully electric car out, the i3. It costs ~$50k and has a range of, what, 120mi?

We'll have to wait and see if the fully electric Mini is going to be any better.

But we can look at the hybrid Mini Countryman S E, cleverly getting AWD from putting the electric motor on one set of wheels and ICE on the other set. Great idea. Except... it gets 27mpg. Terrible. The only excuse I can see is that it's a "performance hybrid", i.e. they weren't trying to be particularly fuel efficient.

Volvo currently sells only big cars that get bad gas mileage even in the hybrid versions.

I'm not holding my breath for any of these companies to save the planet.
While that's good to know, it's not me you should be telling this to now, it's this guy a few days ago: https://twitter.com/DMDeck16/status/889156464891371520 https://twitter.com/DMDeck16/status/890188665389010945
It isn't. However those arguments are against PUBLIC gun free zones, with an extension to businesses; and there is a debate to be had there that will probably need a supreme court case to decide. However I've yet to hear anyone say that you should be allowed to carry a gun into someone else's home against their will. In fact most gun owners would say you'd be well within your rights to shoot an armed intruder on your property.

It's directly analogous to my previous example. It is illegal for businesses to deny service on the basis of skin color. It isn't, however, illegal for a private residence to do so.
I'd argue you should start your career and keep it at small companies unlike Asana but hey, that's just me.
I love censorship! Without moderation once a site gets big enough it devolves into the least common denominator - spam, shit posts, abuse, and trolling. See YouTube comments for one example.

This site itself is highly censored (in the form of rules and moderation) so you aren't even upholding your own ideals by commenting here.
> There is no risk involved in HFT frontrunning.

False. If there were no risk, it would be illegal, and your'e still tossing out that incorrect term without explanation as to what you mean by it since you clearly can't mean the illegal practice of front-running that we've already agreed they aren't doing.

> There is however an investment cost for having lower latency connections than others.

Not relevant.

> There are no guesses.

False.

> And not sure how what I'm claiming is wrong.

Because it's simply not true. Once again, you've ignored my question, you still cant' explain what HFT's are doing wrong, my guess is because you don't actually know what you're criticizing so you toss out flash boy hyperbole like front-running without actually being able to explain what you mean.

> This has been the entire reason why IEX exists.

The IEX exists as a reaction to traders who were displaced by HFT creating a desire for an exchange that doesn't allow it; it in no way proves HFT is doing anything wrong. It's nothing more than marketing capitalizing on fear to establish a new exchange, perfectly legal, but it doesn't make the irrational fear against HFT legitimate.
Hah agreed. I bet it wouldn't pass DD tho. SEC was not stoked about the way they booked revenue considering the % that went right out the door to coupon vendors.

Your mistake is that you've brought reason to a gunfight. The NRA's response would be to say that banning handguns is a slippery slope to taking all the guns.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Lisp.

I'd recommend to you to install Portacle (the Portable Common Lisp Environment), this allows you to code in Lisp straight away.

As for tutorials, "Practical Common Lisp" (free online book) is fun, modern, and excellent for introducing you to most CL concepts, including of course use of let, let*, etc.
You guys are acting like it's such a big deal to steno it into a word document by base26-ing it into sentences as initialisms using markov chains. Facebook sends my 14 megabyte word files no problem (to transfer a 700 kb wav file). I mean sure it was easier on me or my recipients when I could just dump the base64 in there. And when it started rejecting that, adding the markov chains as initialisms was no walk in the park, you have to let your recipient know how to get it back out again (basically a perl one-liner). But at least there's lots of Gutenberg ebooks to train on and really it's just not that big of a deal. Anyone can do it in an hour or two in pretty much any language, just follow tutorials. Then just tell your recipients what to do and they'll jump through whatever hoops you want. I mean how else am I going to send a 700 kilobyte wav file? FedEx a custom-pressed CD under my own label?

So really Facebook is pretty reasonable.
Good to see this change, but I wish people wouldn't go down this road to begin with.

Speaking as someone who sits in industry now, I have found it almost impossible to successfully conclude negotiations between not-very-interested academics who don't really understand how licensing works (and the staff who supposedly help them) and a big, paranoid company.

When you put some rando commercial license or complicated terms on your (likely tax-payer funded) data or software, what it essentially requires from big companies is a extremely expensive legal review to see what we would be signing up for. This review might be considerably more expensive than the amount being asked for the data/software. What's more, if a small company signs up for this, and ever wants to be acquired by a big company, the review may not happen (small companies and startups are usually more relaxed about this stuff) but will have to take place during acquisition.

Bonus points for when the academics or their representatives wander away mid-discussion.

As a final bonus, I have seen our commercial competitors in this area just essentially fund university researchers to do thinly veiled advertising by accessing the same dataset for an "academic" paper. Meanwhile I sit on my hands respecting "the latter and spirit" of the law.
Ford was once quoted as saying that if he had asked his customers what they wanted they would have asked for a faster horse. So, no. Does not work in every case.

Yeah, a while ago I was trying to send some money to them but I wasn't able to validate my address because I had an apartment number but their form didn't include a space for an apartment number so I got a "non-matching address" error. I even contacted their support but they weren't helpful. I'm probably better off.
> I don't know whether you do or not (EDIT: do or do not disclose that is, for clarification) but I think if you post about Tesla without disclosing that holding, that's unethical.

Why do you think that?

Disclosing whether or not someone holds a position in a stock they are discussing is unethical in a professional setting, but this is not a professional setting.

Disclosure is a courtesy, not an obligation, and might not be truthful whether positive or negative and therefore should not be assigned any value.
