I don't think there is clear cut answer to that question.

It may depend on the company in question. For Google that supplies 78% of all search results it is probably dangerous to allow them to decide what to favor and what to censor.

For a smaller service provider like Cloudflare, I am not so sure.

It will be interesting to see how it would go down in court.

I am not a lawyer or legal expert by any means, but if the courts decided that business have to serve the public, for example forcing a baker to bake a wedding cake for a gay wedding, I can see a court forcing Cloudflare to host content they don't want to host.

Now the interpretation of the law today would not support that because minority opinion holders are not a protected class, but the court extends its power all the time and I could see this leap being made, although it is unlikely.

All in all interesting stuff to ponder.
We'd probably use the current facilities. I suppose we could also try for Hawaii or Puerto Rico. The land grab is also an option, given the likely political climate if it reaches this point.

My understanding is that closer to the equator is better, with some caveats.
The total eclipse of July 11, 1991 was seen in Mexico which is part of North America.
The US government uses self powering locks where the user turning the dial provides the power for operation.

See http://www.kaba-mas.com/kaba-brand/products/906098/x-10.html for an example of one.
There isn't going to be one single solution, but reducing incoming sunlight by a small percentage (1-2%) could be a cost effective part of a multi-layer approach.
We do have more activists, it's just that the US has a tendency towards political dualism, so reporting and dialogue tends to frame the narrative in terms of two opposing forces, "Nazis vs. Antifa", "Left vs Right", "Blue vs. Red" etc.
do you work with smaller companies?
I call it that, too, in the very comment you've replied to: "Skipping breakfast was easiest for me".

The faddish name makes it easy to google for research on the topic. You can, of course, call it whatever you like. I'm not advocating anything, I'm just sharing what I'm doing.

That said, the name does have useful meaning and context. "Fasting" hints at the metabolic response you're trying to achieve with the practice, in a way that maybe saying "skip breakfast" doesn't. And, the word "fasting" has thousands of years of history, which can also be mined for information; it's even part of the word, "breakfast".

"Skip breakfast" leaves room for "but, I had a donut at the 10AM meeting".
The Nine Surefire Ways to Fail at Anything
First total solar eclipse visible in the contiguous U.S. since 1979. Not first over North America if Mexico is in North America. Mexico in 1991.
Let me get a native crossplatform airdrop on android and I would consider switching back

I never want to plug in an iOS device. But, after you accept the iTunes thing if did plug it in as mass storage, you'll see that you can move arbitrary files to the app that can open them. Do you really want the extra storage or is there another particular use case you want that requires it as a mounted drive?
"Normal" social interactions establish a negative reward for certain people, myself included. If you have never been fat, ugly, some form of minority, or female, you might not have a good frame of reference for asymmetric social encounters. Perhaps people around you treat you with a higher default level of courtesy. I'm sure your games are more fun when you aren't always picked last for teams, and are not abandoned the instant you start winning.

Most of the time, in the US, a "normal" conversation consists of one or more people employing impolite tactics such as interruption, overtalking, and non sequitur to crowd me out of the conversation entirely. In short, most people have no interest in what I have to say, but somehow expect me to listen to them anyway.

While on a device, I can at least finish my paragraph without being interrupted. It doesn't matter so much if no one bothers to read it, so long as I am not prevented from saying it in the first place, which is the modal situation for a synchronous voice conversation. I eagerly anticipate a world where it is no longer possible to take one look at me and dismissively decide that I am not worthy to add to a conversation. Unattractive and unpopular people can have interesting ideas, too.

Sometimes I'm the schlemiel, but mostly I'm the schlimazel. I'm the type of person that gets insulted out in public, for no particular reason, and no one bothers to call out the bad behavior. Because I guess that person is just cooler than I am, and that's the way of the world. If you want to run with a casino metaphor, imagine a slot machine that not only never pays out, but also punches you in the face every time you push the play button. That's me whenever I step out of my bubble. That little black rectangle doesn't make the slot machine actually pay out, but it does stop me from getting punched in the face, which is nice, comparatively speaking.

Regular humans can be pretty awful. I try not to be bitter about it, but it's difficult whenever people declaim how great and fun their life is, because it just reinforces that the terrible people are often selectively rude--to me, specifically--and not uniformly horrible to everyone.
When you build them on earth, you aren't using "a factory", you're using a supply chain with thousands of factories and millions of people. A factory that can go from regolith all the way to spacecraft is still very speculative.

As for 2 billion tons of rocket fuel, it's not trivial but it's something less than 5% of one year's current CO2 emissions, and we're talking about spreading it out over a couple decades.
UTRUST – Revolutionary Payment Platform (Pre-ICO: Monday, 28th of August)
apparently HN does not agree with us and are patriotic Americans or something, I dunno!
The abject denial of left-wing violence in the media and the correlating hysteria about right wing violence is disturbing and is obviously fueling the false sense of self-righteousness that is driving that very violence. Anyone with a shred of integrity denounces ALL violence, even if the perpetrators share your ideology.

To help burst anyone's delusions, here's just a few recent left-wing violent incidents off the top of my head.

Thanks for your feedback!

link.fish is not about extracting a "part" of the website (in the sense of an image what I guess Safari does), it is really about the information (data). The idea is to make all web-information easily usable for everybody. So depending on what you bookmark different information should get extracted. So if you look for example for an apartment and bookmark one, it will get bedrooms, bathrooms, rent, image, location and so on.
There are currently two main problems I want to solve. First bookmark managers do only display the title of the page and some kind of image and not what people actually want to see. And the second, that each website lives in its own world and the data from one page can not be used together with another one. Simple example. I go on vacation and want to display my room from Airbnb on a map with the sights I want to visit from Wikipedia or Lonely Planet and the restaurants from Yelp. Currently, that is totally impossible unless you have a lot of time and a CS degree.

The .fish domain is a thing which I get very different responses to. Some people really love it and some people not so much. One day I really have to look into that some more (when I have time and money). Right now the most important thing was that it is rememberable, short and cheap.

Depends on what part you mean is not new. Bookmarking for sure is not. ;-) The combination with the data extraction should be because did not find it anywhere else and that is why I created it. However totally agree on the rest! Will do that once I got some more feedback from users and I have money to pay somebody.

With the video agree. That was actually exactly the idea to seem needy and state something obvious. Should make a quite boring video a little bit funnier and different but did obviously not work that well ;-)

Yes is sadly always way more work than expected. So good luck on your project & launch. Thanks again for your help!
I am pretty sure that means production editor messed up or someone else in your department got your copy.
You can't shutdown a website twice, so I'll give them that, but there's bound to be more than one dimension of reasons for censorship and more than this one occurance, which I guess was found "Volksverhetzung".
This is bang on target. I just did this.

That is the whole slippery slope of plausible deniability. An engineer doesn't know every nuance of the law but some people had to actively know they were breaking the law. Those people should be punished, regardless of their level.

I'm in favor on increased whistle blower programs. There were lots of people who knew what was going at Enron and VW and others. If companies are morally bankrupt and think of profits at all costs, we should reward the grunts who can expose it.
I would argue that he should have known that it is highly likely that any code would end up being used, despite how much they're told it's "for research" or a "prototype".
VW engineer jailed for emissions scandal
Not internally, but at least in the US you see lots of attempts to cut budgets of government programs. Even a modest budget cut could have a big impact on the level and quality of service of a government health system.
"The nuance I'm interested in is whether a person in this situation would reasonably assume they would lose their job, or promotion opportunities, etc, if they didn't do the illegal task as asked. And if so, does that create a civil liability?"

If so, then the expected response would be for that person to whistleblow and/or establish an EEOC complaint or lawsuit for perceived retaliation. Going along with wrongdoing when there's no immediate danger to his life or even arguably livelihood (as a high-ranking engineering exec, he could probably find another gig easily) isn't a defensible position.
Nice find! :) However, WR only publicizes websites that were once loaded through extension. If you have a new website and if it wasn't opened on WhatRuns before, this lookup won't do the trick.
Wouldn't earth based reflection be a lot simpler? E.g artificial clouds/ice/etc to reflect sunlight off the planet?
This is interesting. I work for a Swiss company with an office in SV. We often joke about our European employees and their work-life balance.

Well, I ended up working with a team in Switzerland and holy crap, they work hard! Emails coming in at all hours of the night, meetings that go well past dinner time.

I didn't notice any difference in work life balance. Our office has the same vacation policy as HQ, so even that was the same.
Only 20% of patients get this and for them, there's the sustained/extended release version - Metformin ER, or Glucophage SR/XR.
That's awful. You should negotiate that out of the contract or at least limit it.
Hi Peter,

Indian Citizen here. I have a startup incorporated via Stripe Atlas. If it reaches $1 Million in annual revenue, can I qualify for EB5 green card?

Or if I have around $500K in revenue and raise $250K from investors, does that help with EB5?
The reasons Amazon is dangerous in every consumer industry dealing with physical goods are the same. Logistics and a multi billion dollar war chest. Amazons logistics solutions are unparalleled. If Amazon can make Whole Food more efficient shipping goods and gain even a single percentage point in profits that's huge. And the billions they have to play with means they can afford to be more aggressive in pursuing market share, and riskier in pursuing additional revenue streams. If you're subsisting on 1.5% margins you literally can't afford to bet on something new and it not pay off.
This is true, but people still took issue with it because (as far as I can tell) they believe anything that happens to end up effectively along racial lines is racist regardless of intent. This is also orthogonal to the question, which is whether businesses should be allowed to choose their customers.
Many of the Gelman-style default "objective" priors aren't so hard to interpret as "I am skeptical that this parameter is non-zero".
Except in western Europe towards the end of July. It's closer to 85%. Brutal.
We just tried to replicate this issue but failed. It's working fine on our end. Can you share the URL in question so that we can take a look? Thanks!
Yes, we do this; it seems to be both the correct solution, and one which works effectively in practice -- use email properly.

Auto responders generally send their messages to the mail Sender. That seems correct to me. We send automated mail from robot@, with a Reply-to of support@ -- because that's logically what's happening.

All of bounces just end up back at the robot, and IMO that's where they belong (and potentially can even be dealt with automatically). The vast majority of out-of-office do that too. And humans end up emailing support.

The name 'robot' was chosen to gently imply to the user a few things.
This is a great idea guys; I have faith that the team behind this project will execute perfectly and this will revolutionize the industry.
This is nothing new from Alaska Air. I congratulate them for this! In fact this happened near Hawaii https://blog.alaskaair.com/alaska-airlines/news/eclipse-flig... in 2015.
> I feel like critiques of CoCs and other related documents and processes coming from a white male are often interpreted as hostile.

At what point do we stop ignoring this inconvenient truth?
I agree, but I think it's best to just have an email address right at the top of the email for a customer to reply to, or use the reply-to headers.
And if we solve this problem, then maybe we'll still have a technological civilization in 100,000 years to solve that one.
It's not always this though - I worked support in the past and have seen the annoyingness that two auto-reply systems from different ticketing systems can become. Customer emails us and they get our auto response, which triggers an auto response from their system, which triggers the pre-First Time Response response from ours, which triggers a new ticket from them since the pre-First Time Response response doesn't pull the ticket number from their system's subject line, which in turn triggers another response from this, all the while we're getting spammed with update emails and the case log is bogged down with non-sense. This repeats several times until one side intervenes to ensure their system's automated rules don't catch the support emails for this case.

I understand why we have the no-reply and auto-reply emails, and it makes a lot of sense in many ways, but there's also a very large blind spot where two systems don't realize they're talking to each other and not to humans; the system does exactly what it should be, it's just not what we want it to be doing.
We started with extension as developers/designers found it especially handy for a quick look-up while working on their projects. Not to worry though - we're working on something for the web as well! ️
> Most parties in the west trace their lineage back to parties that elected the NSDAP in power in the can hope of keeping Hitler in check.

No other parties "elected the NSDAP into power", the President Hindenburg appointed Hitler as chancellor. Who then went on to illegalize all other parties.
Not worth it in what regard?
I always thought this would be great area to have open source teaching materials. So many teachers are writing their own materials, would be great to coordinate and combine.
I wouldn't recommend Icarus Verilog, it's not a very good simulator. You're much better off downloading either the free Altera/IntelFPGA copy of Modelsim or using the free version of Xilinx's Vivado.

The DE10 Nano is a great board though, huge FPGA that can hold big designs and the HPS gives you a lot of extra capabilities.
I disagree. Calling it the 'Great American Eclipse' is fair because it crossed over the entire country coast to coast making it accessible to just about every major population center by car. It was also only visible in America.

That's pretty neat.
Will CBP give TN applicants a hard time if they are a part-owner with less than a majority share in the company?
Yes, your comment is correct but also tautological. A protected class is essentially defined as those categories by which businesses are not allowed to choose customers. It would be just as reasonable to include political beliefs as well as e.g. religious beliefs.
Why would you be unwilling to hire someone who's demonstrated that they're an ethical person?
Basically you start with people you interact with naturally and move outward from there. Schoolmates, co-workers, ex-co-workers. Present at events if you can create an opportunity to do so. Blog. And so forth.

It actually seems as if it's much easier today. At my first job in the tech industry, which I had for a long time, there were fewer opportunities to talk about what I was doing outside the company. (Although my next two jobs still came directly from people I met at that company.)
It's a short, accurate description of where it happened....
So would you say this eclipse was specifically a great opportunity for Americans to see it?
I don't understand, GNU is not Unix, Unix is not open source, OSX is a +/- closed source of a fork of BSD. How using a Mac supports Free sowtware or even open source?

But it has a PR open to bolster its "VALUES.md" file, as well as an issue for the most important subject of a logo.

There is no doubt that this fork is future of server-side JS.
Comparing with Wappalyzer and BuiltWith, here's why we think we have something different (and maybe better):

1. WhatRuns detects fonts, Wordpress plugins and themes (tens of thousands of them).

2. Ability to follow sites (and know what techs websites started using/ditched).

3. Very lightweight compared to our counterparts, and arguably better UI ;)

4. More accurate data. BuiltWith can be very inaccurate as you might've already noticed. Wappalyzer is fairly accurate, but limited in technologies. WhatRuns is trying to be the best of both worlds.
I remember a quote from a US geo-engineer to the effect of "half of my job is not to come up with geo-engineering solutions that will be used, but to show people that plan B is soooo extreme that they start taking plan A much more seriously"

Noted! :) We'll look into this right away.
eh. don't worry about me. your vote is positive and so you're doing fine. maybe i am lonely and angry. i didn't want to be critical really. just trying to provide some closure, since you asked...

Alaska is a great airline. I fly about 70k miles per year on them and am very rarely disappointed.
I remember when this erupted first; VW management immediately started talking about "rogue engineers" adding such a functionality and promised punishing them. There was uproar over it here on HN if you look back.
This is exactly what is needed for cryptos, some kind of Paypal on blockchain :)
So in the last month:

Science says nothing about women and men and how preferences may affect work.

Science says everything about right wingers being fearful chicken littles.
Absolutely. I've gotten in a few threads of apple fans insisting that $10-30 for a game is ridiculous because they once played angry birds for over an hour. Mobile games are almost always terrible just for three simple fact that touch screens really don't work for a lot of kinda of games. The DS line is cheaper, more durable and longer lived than your average mobile device anyway.

Though, Nintendo has been experimenting with IAP and F2P stuff, which I just try to avoid.
LiveOverflow: Don't trust time
How does one go about learning IC design to begin with? I only have the vaguest notion of what all these terms mean to begin with. Is it analogous to teaching yourself to code, or is it fundamentally different/harder?
Every collection can get exported as HTML bookmark file (the same Chrome uses) but that will only contain URLs, titles and tags.
It is also possible to export all the URLs with all saved data as JSON or CSV. There is sadly no way yet to export the website snapshots (which are PNG). But that will also be possible in the future.
In July 2014, the United States Environmental Protection Agency stated that the practice was illegal, as it violated the Clean Air Act which prohibits the manufacturing, sale, and installation "of a part for a motor vehicle that bypasses, defeats, or renders inoperative any emission control device [and] prohibits anyone from tampering with an emission control device on a motor vehicle by removing it or making it inoperable prior to or after the sale or delivery to the buyer."

Just reading through his response takes quite a while, and at the end you're left either accepting his interpretation and explanation, or you need to probably wade through some multiple of that content in disparate other sources to get the other side.

Given the types of complaints and their subjective nature in some instances, I imagine you're probably looking at something close to 4-5 hours at least to get enough context to form an objective opinion of your own on this situation if you aren't coming into it with that background knowledge already. I'm not willing to invest that.
"I'm not diabetic; I take it for biohacking reasons."

Did you just say to your doctor, "Hey, doc, I'm trying to live forever here, can you hook me up with some metformin?"

I often wonder about this, when it comes to folks using drugs for off-label purposes. I know there are doctors that are amenable to prescribing things like anti-depressants on patient request, but a diabetic drug seems a harder sell.
Airline pilot discipline was also probably pretty good fifty years ago yet the accident rate has dropped as the tech has improved.
For most people, it's typically difficult to accomplish great things without mentorship and support. Which, in turn, typically require a network of some kind, whether it be family, teachers and classmates, or professional contacts.
My Top 10 Picks from YC S17
This is a good strategy and one my teams are more closely moving towards. We're using Jenkins + Docker Swarm. If Jenkins receives a web hook that there is a new stable version tag, it builds the container, pushes it to the register and instructs the swarm to drain connections and do a rolling update of the container. In this regard, configuration management only becomes important for the swarm cluster nodes. E.g., managing our users and ssh keys and building up the nodes. We are using Terraform and Chef to create and manage our swarm cluster nodes and Jenkins+Docker swarm for everything else.
I'm not an expert, but it seems within the realm of possibility. Despite what hackernews thinks, the forkers have a somewhat reasonable argument, in that Vagg did violate the Code of Conduct (because it is extreme), and the committee voted to ignore it (because he's a valuable contributor). Morality aside, it calls the system into question if someone can violate established rules and get away with it because the judges disagree with the rules.

Also, several members of their ruling committee left to make the fork. So it's not just a bunch of randoms, and they might be able to make some meaningful progress on their own.
