I'm really on the same page with you expect for 4. The property manager does give important value which is close to "managing human resources". He might get, disproportionally, higher pay than what he should but that might have to do with your target population.

(ie: if you are renting a cheap house, you'll need for of "managing human resources" than for an expensive one. Even though you are getting less for the deal).
They have a dedicated account for borg/attic: http://rsync.net/products/attic.html

There's also restic, which works similarly, but has native support for cloud storage: https://restic.github.io/ - sadly it's claims of being efficient are rather undermined by the continued lack of compression support.
Maths textbooks contain real mathematics and are aimed at mathematicians or mathematics students.

This is about a blockchain, and is presented using Haskell and over-the-top Haskell pseudo-category-theory.. it just doesn't compute for me.
Of course... but for many people, in Project Euler the goal is not just to get a solution, it's to create a beautiful and/or efficient solution. This is why reading the comments and finding other people's solutions after solving a problem is usually as fulfilling as solving it, or even more.
Only online transactions(CNP) where you ship the product to address other than card's billing address. If the merchant uses 3D secure for online transactions, issuer is fully liable for fraud. For card present transactions, issuer is fully liable for chip based transactions. Merchants only bear risk if its a stripe or a manually keyed in transaction.

High cost of for credit card transactions is because merchant pays for the 60 day interest free loan on the money that the bank is giving the consumer to make the purchase. Debit network transactions are a lot lower, 0.5% for durbin amendment cards(90% of cards out there).
.. maybe do some research before a major transaction? Transactions are complicated. Selling a home is probably worth researching. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=fees+involved+in+selling+a+house

Article said that the inorganic core was 14 atoms. The graphic showed a much larger organic molecule wrapped around the core.

It is unclear whether 0.5 nm refers to the inorganic core or the entire molecular complex.

It is also possible that the organic molecule changes geometry to open or close the conductive channel, so it could have variable diameter.
So they are assholes if they don't want to spend company resources allowing you to check your personal email while at work? Yeah, you've worked for a "different sort", the kind that waste money it seems.

I think it depends a lot on the field and where you work, and how you define "success".

I used to think the way you're describing until I got where I am and saw just how dysfunctional the system is in my field--the corruption and sheer luck. It gets worse the higher up you go.

I think there's also problem with these types of discussions because of survivorship bias, which is rampant in contemporary society. That is, the experience of individuals who either benefit from, or who are shielded from, these types of problems, aren't aware of them, and therefore have a different view. This isn't to imply that if you don't agree, you're corrupt, but I think some individuals by virtue of certain attributes aren't aware of the problems that ensue--notice that the OP included charisma in the list, which isn't an ethical problem among the charismatic necessarily but is one that creates ethical problems for those who are not.

I guess what I'm saying is that I appreciate your encouragement, but you have to keep in mind that things worked out for you. If they didn't, you might be offering a different explanation.

I think we tell ourselves that meritocracy works because the alternative is much darker and harder for us to wrestle with, because it invokes a feeling of moral obligation to do something to fix it.

In my field as I go up, what I see are people succeeding on the basis of popularity, which is not necessarily the same as contributions. For some, this is because of outright corruption. For others it's because of something many would consider ethically problematic, even if unintentional. In still other cases I think there's just basically luck, in the sense that they applied for jobs at the right time and where they ended up just happened to be exactly the right fit, which was not what happened to others who then languished.

I have very close friends who I would consider as successful as they possibly could be in their field, but not once would I ever say they are really deserving of that success more than many others. My convictions over time have only hardened, because I've seen their reversals switch due to natural experiments of sorts, where they are repositioned for reasons outside their control.

Maybe someday I will end up seeing things as you're suggesting, and I'm just in a dark period of my life, but the way it seems to me, it's like a curtain was lifted and there is a very sinister wizard behind it.
The company I work for uses Google extensively. Simple stuff like Google Admin is abominably slow, and important things we need like Google Groups are, to be frank, rubbish.

Google Docs is OK, but Google Sheets is abysmal for any serious amount of data. It seems very hard to have Google listen to our concerns.
It's funny how these things linger on, quietly being used because they mostly just work and don't cause the people using them any real problems. I think Daring Fireball and Kottke.org both still use Movable Type, which, having just checked on their web site, does definitely still exist and appears to have been quite regularly updated until at least 2014 (the releases for the last few years appear mostly to be bugfixes and security updates). Movable Type was the hot thing in self-hosted blogging circles in the early 2000s and predates WordPress by a good few years.
If you think that's all it takes to satisfy the definition of a Ponzi scheme, you're incorrect. That would even be an oversimplification for a Pyramid scheme.

I'm not sure why this has to be corrected for every crypto thread on HN. We get it, someone has to comment on every crypto post "Ponzi scheme," "tulips," or the like (regardless on whether or not such a generic comment is especially relevant to the thread) but simply calling it a "scam" gets the unoriginal point across without making you seem so misinformed.

I find it ironic that because men are wary because of sexual discrimination _laws_, the solution proposed is to pass more _laws_.

In the article, there is a direct quote from the person being interviewed. "If they only do things with people of the same sex, that is discrimination."

Maybe your wife/gf is really jealous and you'd prefer not to walk into that minefield. This article is proposing more regulations to solve a problem that was caused by legislation to begin with.
Agreed.

It's just the argument that gets made for filtering, is we'd rather just filter it all instead of trying to understand what should and should not be filtered.

I don't fear libertarians, I just find them juvenile and annoying. Stop projecting. My point about re-reading my comment was that you were accusing me of the very thing that I said people other than libertarians care about.

This is why I find libertarians fucking annoying, because they just wholesale declare the world to be other than it is. No, they're not a bogeyman, but they do spend a lot of time derailing politics, like when Rand Paul describes government provided universal healthcare as literal slavery of doctors. Yes, the two major parties in the US are fucked, but libertarianism is not the only alternative.

Also, you're a child for revenge-downmodding. When all my comments in time range go down by a point except the ones that specifically you can't downmod, it's stupidly obvious it's you.
> The company is not raising cash with this IPO.

...there isn't an IPO, which is the whole point of the article, and these comment threads.

i think in the context of the comment i was replying to, it was fairly clear i was explaining what an IPO is normally for.
No, I created Code Cartoons in my spare time. After I worked at Mozilla for a while, I pitched the idea of me making Code Cartoons explaining the things we were developing in Emerging Technologies. My (current) boss was super into the idea.

AV will make those people who are not internet+security literate more vulnerable. There have been vulnerabilities found in all major anti-viruses, some of them were really bad. You're better off not using an antivirus. See for example: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/06/lates...

Staying up to date on your updates is the best advice you can give.
The STR for that bug are in comment 3, but I can try to get something better when I'm back home (on my phone now).

We get significant speed ups from parallelism and such on big doms over all during page load, but we also get speedups from dynamic change handling implementing smarter invalidation than Gecko, which basically restyles the whole subtree / every sibling if it finds a relevant combinator affected by a change.

WebKit does much better than Gecko for class and other attribute changes, at least for descendants, where you go down with the relevant selectors. Stylo's system is relatively similar, but doing selector matching ltr, and handling the same way state and id changes.

You can see components/style/invalidation/element in the servo repo for the relevant code in that regard.
LOL for what? I mean the technical answer is yes, it's pretty easy to sue for whatever you want.

Tada! That's very close to what I had in mind. The only difference: you can fizz on 4924, buzz on 4210, none on 34cb, then always \n. Also, you have 3 ops to calculate the rotation, and that can be replaced by (0x8001 * x) >> 1 (for uint16_t x), but with tweaking of the masks because it's rotating right.

Congrats!
I use Microsoft's own "Windows Defender" combined with Malware Bytes to catch any PUPs.

While I'm a very careful user, this combination, to the best of my knowledge, has kept me safe. (MalwareBytes caught a piece of commercial software that I paid $59 for -- a Blu-Ray player -- that tried to install a browser add-on that would have presented alternate advertising.)

TechCrunch's top 7 picks of this group of 50:

Pyka, PullRequest, Zendar, Gopher, Modular Science, Escher Reality, Forever Labs.

With the exception of Gopher, I think that's a solid list. I just can't get excited about another company putting apps on top of email, though. Maybe it's just me.

All the others seem to have at least a potential path to strong growth that's pretty obvious.
In Animal Farm, the source of tyranny was not equality, on the contrary; it was the failure of the masses to sustain the idea and to prevent the leaders from violating it. Orwell was still a believer in socialist equality, just not in the Bolsheviks or Stalinism.

> First off, nobody has ever said you should "invent some random meaning" for anything.

Well, yes, you have. The definition of an error in this context is that there is no meaning for the given syntax specified in the standard. If you interpret the document anyway, you are assigning it some meaning. As that meaning does not come from the standard, you have simply invented it.

> The existence of an error in one section of a document shouldn't have any impact on the rest of the document, and so there's no reason why the error should prevent rendering the rest of the document.

1. You have it all backwards. Whether something is a "section" is part of the semantics that are specified by the standard. When your document does not comply to the standard, the standard does not assign any semantics to it, and as such it also does not specify what a section is in your non-complying document. The moment you talk about "sections" in your non-HTML document, say, you have already started inventing semantics.

Also, even if we assume that we somehow can magically identify "sections" anyway: How do you justify the assumption that sections do not have any impact on one another? For one, if you take HTML, in particular when CSS is involved, you absolutely easily can have very global effects using rather local constructs, can't you? But also: What if the human-language content has cross-references between sections? How do you ensure that the meaning of the human-readable content is conveyed correctly when somehow processing a "broken section"? What if the result is that you leave out an important warning regarding the following instructions in an attempt to help the user?

Really, how is that any different from a compiler replacing functions with errors with a No-Op?

2. What is the actual advantage? You say it is obvious, but it's not to me, which is why I asked. What is the advantage of just displaying something, even if the standard does not assign it any meaning, over aborting with an error?

I think there is a perspective that has been overlooked in these comments. It is that the "professors' unprofessional programs" are probably very understandable to someone who deeply understands the science/engineering concepts the programs represent. Especially, if you get some history about what was developed first and what order features were added, the spaghetti starts to become much more understandable. Of course, after passing through the hands of multiple grad students the code should probably be refactored, but how many of you recode a big framework just because it isn't perfect for your situation.
Anyone have another suggestion for a pair of wifi speakers that can be assigned to Left/Right to get stereo and can be network streamed to and have another device on the network with a line-in?

I was about to buy 2 Play1's and a Connect to do a stereo install in a room where I don't want to run speaker cable. I had researched wackier home-built solutions and was going to give up and go for the Sonos. Now I'm once again considering wackier home-built stuff like 3 raspberry pi's attached to line-in and two dumb powered speakers.
Recommendation: Travel for snow related trips (snowboarding/skiing) would largely depend on average snowpack on a mountain at that time of year, which is directly related to the amount of snowfall in that location as well as the temperature (does it get cold enough for artificial snow making). Build the right tool for planning snow trips and it should be easy to monetize.
Nice!

Anything one line is prone to being misinterpreted. IMO, people who're still learning shouldn't be bombarded with a million different things, so one liners work for them. People who're experienced, realize the intent of that one liner and will easily know enough to know when it applies.
> In Europe the most likely response to such a minimal accident would be two parties getting out of their car, assessing the damage - if any - filling out a form and getting on with their day after taking some pictures and shaking hands.

I've been in 3 (minor) accidents in the U.S., and they've all basically ended that way.

- I rear-ended a pickup truck. He had his back gate down, and didn't suffer any damage. He shrugged and drove off.

- A private security patrol car rear-ended me. We took pictures of each other's license and insurance. I filed a claim with my insurance, and their insurance paid the claim.

- A semi/lorry made an illegal turn and hit me. The driver wasn't afraid of a lawsuit, but that he'd lose points on his driver's license and have it revoked. We traded license+insurance information and left.

25 years ago, my mother was in 2 major accidents within a month (neither were her fault). She still suffers from those injuries, but she never filed suit.

I'd have to say that "the most likely response" in the U.S. is probably similar to that in Europe, but the best case is no better in the US, and the worst case is much worse.

Browsers seem to be converging.

It's quite obvious that they will all implement next JS standards, with some experiments here and there.

They will add API access to more hardware like VR helmets, controllers, maybe even USB devices (which would be great for web hardware based security, like 2FA).

Probably voice control and typing (like on Android).

Probably automatic translation (not just by Google).

Built-in free VPN (limited obviously) and TOR would be nice.

It was certainly an interesting argument :)

I suspect that the thinking is that it's efficient in the sense that you don't have the wrong regulation.
ie. in the sense that wrong regulation is extremely expensive.

And if people was always employing an optimal strategy, then litigation would rarely be needed as the outcome would be predictable. But I guess people aren't optimal :)
Well, no, actually the view is not defensible, because it insists on the arbitrary resolution being an implementation of a standard, which it isn't.

The view formulated in a non-misleading way is simply "if the standard does not specify semantics, I can as a matter of fact just use my own proprietary interpretation instead". Which is trivially true, but also completely useless if your goal is interoperability, while, if you don't care about interoperability, why care about the standard in the first place?
