> I wonder if a future extension to ICS/NIMS could be, how to plug in these unconventional resources where professional manpower is insufficient. Develop a 2-minute briefing, a point of contact for unconventional resources to report to, a simplified structure & communication network. The most important concepts are pretty simple, and the first responder doesn't need to know that much about it.

Great idea, but unfortunately when it gets officialized, the lawyers and the bureaucrats get involved and start talking about liability and ways to insert themselves into the situation to profit from it and things quickly gain the complexity of joining the original organization, so it ultimately fails. Maybe I'm too cynical here.

On a meta note, I really like the design on the OP's site. The interactive SVG circles is a nice touch, and trying to color them all in with my pointer was almost as satisfying as popping bubble wrap.
> ... seems to have taken a step backward with mobile apps, and replaced with an endless need for vendor lock in. It's great for business, but as a user, it feels really restrictive. As a developer, it's not great either.

But isn't using a web app that stores its data to a remote server and handles upgrades a method of vendor (in this case developer) lock in? As a user you are 100% reliant on the developer, both for your data but also in their mercy when it comes to upgrades (imagine developers changing how their UI works to a way you dislike - my aunt every now and then calls me because something went wrong but what really went wrong was Google making slight changes to Gmail or the Google home page that confused her - or, even worse, starting to require more resources than your computer can handle but you cannot do something as simple - with native apps - as to just keep using the older version).
The Coast Guard is not the pacifist organization you seem to imagine it to be. They also combat smuggling, illegal migration, and terrorism. Also, they can be called to provide defense of the maritime borders of the United States. It is every bit of a military organization as the Army or Navy, even if not as well respected.
You seem to not like the result of the study and making non-arguments to try to discredit it.
Seems to want to use Fira Code for some reason. I'd expect it to let the user choose which font should be used but, if not, at least don't require one with those ridiculous ligatures.
> if (!globals.hideUrgencyMessage && SH.mbox.justSoldEvent && urgencyMessageListings && urgencyMessageListings.length) {

Have you considered that SH.mbox.justSoldEvent might be noting that there were recent sales, and while they weren't just sold as the page was loaded, the system may actually indicate that sales are happening and to be aware that the listings may not persist in the current state for long?

As of right now, SH.mbox.justSoldEvent is undefined for me, but they may have specifically disabled the system (or only use it if there are sales but not too many). Looking at the seller's interface on SH for this, the last three transactions happened within 10 minutes of when I loaded the sales data, and each were for a pair. Looking at the sales data I can see that the two you had shown to you were consecutive transactions at 2017-09-11T17:45:40.000Z and 2017-09-11T17:38:55.000Z, which I'm willing to bet were the two most recent sales when you loaded the page.

If that's what's going on, it's not only for SH's benefit. This also signals to buyers what's selling right now, and what migh be sold soon in case you are eyeing a particular listing but are holding off for some reason. If similar things have sold recently, maybe that set won't still be there if you wait a few minutes. This isn't necessarily simulated demand, but real demand, the same as if you were in a store and watching a particular item fly off the shelves. If the stock is depleted, you might not be able to get one, so knowing people are buying them might influence whether you feel secure in waiting for a bit or not.

(For what it's worth, I do not work for nor have ever worked for StubHub, but I do work in the event ticketing industry so are familiar with them and how to use them).
Yes, so the public can spontaneously make their own fully autonomous infrastructure free of financial and political interests. Oh wait. yeah that will never happen.
Seriously? I rarely see these deeply enmeshed financial firms get fined into bankruptcy, since they've effectively reached "too big to fail". Kind of optimistic to call that the "best case" scenario.
My Journey with the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 So Far
If that's true. Then it would encourage a prospective suitor to hack them. Wait for the fallout and then buy in. Certainly it's much cheaper to hire a hacker(s) then pay full price, correct?
I agree with you. I came close to doing that a few years back. I still hold on to that product idea, because I still think it's great. I took 6 weeks off and told myself I'd work on the project for a while, full time.

I got so much done, but honestly, probably not the right work. I wrote a ton of code, got the site up and running, and started working on the real nuts and bolts that would make the thing great. Hit a snag, and realized that I had no income, no partner, no publicity, and 6 digits of student loans to pay back. Golden Handcuffs, as it were.

I probably should have started with gauging interest, finding some help, and maybe looking for potential investors. But I'm a software engineer....coder's gonna code. I didn't know how to do any of that other stuff, but I can sure as hell write a program.

I'll probably buckle down on my next idea. Or the one after that. But one of these will go well.
I just wish an Apple ID wasn't required for everything. Especially one that requires giving them my full name, phone, and physical address.

I understand that it would be needed for purchase apps, but just to download a free one?
The latest thought on this from the Elm community is that dead code elimination should be done after compilation[1] and that this should be easy[2].

I don't think the OP's main point was about file size optimization though. Elm's killer "optimization" is to remove the mutable parts of JavaScript and add a strong type system that can prevent practically all runtime errors. To achieve that goal the source language is significantly different than the target language.

It looks like lots of big name sites don't use them. Why do some companies feel they need it, while letting internet giants such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc. get away without it?
Yeah, I think one of the plastic containers of arugula was $.50 cheaper. But it's the organic one, so it depends on whether you normally buy that kind.

> The user should be the one controlling the list of trusted CAs and servers, not a third party such as ad-supported company or organization distributing a web browser.

No, they really shouldn't. Security is a ridiculously complex arena, and the amount of knowledge you need to make an intelligent setup on this is considerable. For tech-heads, fine, but the vast majority of people are not tech-heads.

If you switched over to this model, we'd end up in the bad old days of Windows XP, where untrained people would advise untrained people to 'just install this package and everything works!' and half the time they'd be installing malware. The right way to do this is 'sensible defaults, that the user can adjust'.

Doesn't seem low enough to me, at least not low enough to warrant the risk. It has hit a lower price in a 1yr term... Just saying I've been burned with that kind of thinking, sometimes it's best to wait for the anger to settle out and buy into the curve up then try to guess the bottom.

There's incentive (as it's their job, or is said to be). What there isn't is a downside if they don't.
"The opposite pattern held for genes related to immunity -- friends tended to be less similar at those parts of the genome."

It would have been more accurate to title this article "Friends Are Genetically Similar in Some Ways and Different in Others" but I guess that would not have been as edgy.

EDIT: The overall trend reported is that friends are more genetically similar than would be expected, as pointed out by user Real_S. Good title, after all.
As the article mentions, The CORE Project seems to cover a lot of material. I wonder if this means it won't fit well into a traditional college semester, and thus it not being used in college classes too frequently.

The main website of The CORE Project does mention a bunch of colleges using it. This points to the fact that colleges are willing to adopt it, but not necessarily to the fact that many colleges will be willing to adopt it.

When colleges do choose to adopt it, I wonder if they'll just pick and choose material that covers more traditional curriculums as opposed to the more modern topics this book covers. If so, the mission of the project will really take a punch.
An Apple computer. To run Mac software. That's what you probably meant.
Huh. I get that the monkey doesn't own the copyright, US law seems pretty straightforward there. But I don't see how that means that the photographer does own it, since neither is he the creator of the photo; yet the article talks about him benefiting from the funds when it's sold.

Anyone know what's up with that?
This is cool, but I'm curious what makes this superior to just using javascript in a browser? Could still use the same input syntax. Bonus points for having a graphic that could easily scale up if someone right clicks to open it specifically.
yep.

not in a badly effected area, but definitely there was flooding nearby. most of my friends/family/etc (irrespective of area) had power/phone/etc throughout, even those with flood damage. Which is not to say the flood damage was exaggerated however.

I personally only had a power outage for 4h only after the electric company blew some equipment trying to restore service for others.. (again not in a bad area)

we are pretty sprawly and most power lines, etc are above ground except in the very center of town. not sure if that helped or not, but perhaps worth mentioning - but as for trees falling etc, this storm had very low wind, etc for those in the HTX area (same def not true for those who experienced the actual hurricane)
Why does the webserver need access to All of the Datas? Store the data separately, and create use-tokens for webservers to access data once users have authenticated.

The webservers should be treated as if they're potentially compromised, not given arbitrary access to a database...

People do have the liberty to express their views in the sense that they have no trouble from the law with what they've said online. They do not lose their right to vote because of it. That's freedom of speech.

However, being censored by an organization is something that's very healthy for any organization of a decent size. It helps to keep the mission and culture of the organization consistent with what it's designed for. In reddits case, it decided that it would not harbor hate speech because it didn't want to make its culture include that. This is very similar to a group of friends not inviting you to drinks after you repeatedly said that you think genocide is a good solution.

It's censorship! Which, if done by the government, can be bad. But it's something that we all do when we want to change the culture of our group. It is very puzzling to me that so many smart people on hacker news do not understand why it's beneficial.

Understood. Just wish they would both get on board with it.
Also, there are patents available for deterministic models based off of neurophysiological response data obtained from various sensors (primarily heart/pulse, galvanic capacitance of the skin, body temperature).

One model mentioned in the patent uses Nigel Osborne's INRM (Innate Neuro-physiological Response to Music) paradigm to make predictions.
Slater's argument, from what I read, was that he did enough to the photo to own the copyright.

Looking for the court documents, in any case.
New PII regulations sure. Fined directly into bankruptcy? Yeah, ok. Just look to BP, Volvo, or any of the now-dozens of companies responsible for massive data breaches in the last few years.
The only viable path forward now is to dissolve these three agencies and reform how we manage identity and credit in the United States. It might take a few years, but shareholders and employees of these three companies should start making other plans if they haven't wisely started to already.
Climate Change Innovation Lab Startup
Fellaws,
I have done 8 months of field research work on climate change and I intend to start a climate change innovation lab. We will spin-off's ideas that have potential for commercialization as a separate entity.

My field research include talking to over 400- 600 folks in agriculture, insurance, health care , etc.
The specific spin-off idea I want to commercialize is climate variability impact son targeted population health and I have a climate change scientist on board

I am looking to put together a team for the innovation lab, if interested please let me know. I can share more details I had worked

Seems quite evironmentally unfriendly to subside out of season food solely to appease picky customers.

Eating local in-season food should be promoted by market mechanisms.
Common misconception. They actually do need your approval, it's just that that approval is buried in the mountains of legalese you sign whenever you sign up for a bank account, credit card or loan.

Some of the fundamentals have changed, or at least been added to - nowadays some radios are actually software defined radios, but their owners might not even know it because the SDR and an embedded computer are built into one chassis, with physical front panel controls.
You're right. Americans should discard Turkish and Chinese CAs in favour of one homed in the heart of their tech capital in Silicon Valley. Clearly those foreign ones are shysters and not to be trusted like a locally-built, trustworthy business!

Oh, what's that? Symantec is an American company, headquartered in Mountain View, CA?
Additionally, just think how much money software developers could save if they paid $25 an hour for someone to sleep with their wife!

Esitmating 1 hour a week, and an average salary of $50, that's an extra $25 per week, or $1300 a year!
I think the contrast between our replies is illustrative of why there's so little liquidity in small businesses.

Mine was basically "In strictly financial terms, you're nuts to sell for $85-100K." Yours was "As a buyer, you're nuts to buy for more than "$85-100K." What's going on economically is that transaction costs will eat up most of any surplus for a business worth < $1M, and so both statements are true.

In practice, the small business owners I know usually just milk their business into the ground. They treat it like an annuity that generates $X of additional income, and if it ceases to become profitable or worth the trouble, they just shut it down.

I've read the first eight chapters and it is excellent. It's up to date with current empirical developments (Intro texts have hardly changed since Alfred Marshall) and has a much broader scope. Overall it's much more in tune with the real world.
I did think that might be the case. However, after deleting the IDs multiple times, the same sold tickets kept popping up, even minutes later (didn't time it exactly, but it was a while).

So, why don't the sold tickets follow the sorting rules, they are inserted at the top. And why is it limited just to 2 of these unsorted previously sold items at the top and not just mark them in their place on the list if they have since sold. It seems pretty clear to me that it was designed to create a sense of urgency to the user. Another user on reddit also reported that they saw items that did not match their filters at all but were somehow inserted on their list.

I am 100% open to the fact that poking around for 20 min or so might not lead me to a complete understanding of their system, but the intent of this code seemed pretty clear to me and I was able to continually able to bring up already sold tickets.

A pain? It's by far the most painless of all the payment platforms I've used. I can request a withdrawal at 9am and have it in my account by 1pm. I've never seen that level of service on any other app.
I guess these terms are subjective qualifiers, but by any standard of evidence for the existence of historical figures, the evidence is comparatively better than most.

As to timeframe:
A lot of key written evidence of Jesus was authored within a century of his life, which comparatively is "pretty good" as far as these things go. Much written evidence of historical events or people that we have wasn't contemporary to the subject in question either, but authored by historians, sometimes far later than a century. By that standard, the contemporaneousness is "pretty good".

As to Sources:
In addition to the synoptic gospels, you also have non-Christian, non-sympathetic sources such as Tacitus referring to the Crucifixion of Jesus by Pontius Pilate. Or Josephus. This represents a variation of disconnected sources (not informed by each other), that by any standard is comparatively better than most.

So the quality of the evidence is built upon not only the _quantity_ of accounts, but the variation of sources, and the general agreement of even basic facts (existence, death). This quality is better evidence than we have of many historical figures that we assume to be real. And as another comment pointed out, the simplest explanation is that this doesn't represent a grand conspiracy of disconnected ancients.

Vogt like Mcgregor knows he'll get beat down but also knows he'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

Vogt is a charlatan. Most in the industry in Michigan or SF know that his characterization of accomplishments to date is false. The intended audience of this sideshow is presumably Wall St.

Normally the pronouncements of yet another American Silicon Valley type (white male huckster) startup founder are unnoteworthy. However in this case his podium and platform for reproducing silicon valley (ethics, chauvinism, racism) exists due to a taxpayer financed bailout. Interestingly that toothless loan was made possible by America's 1st Black president thereby reminding us that the devil in America takes many forms.

So there it is. In America in 2017 under the guise of technological advancement we have people subsidizing their own disenfranchisement.

And if you thought GM had enough still they ask for more tax breaks from California. GM turned a deaf ear to a legistlator's request for demographics of their engineering workforce.
