Real estate transactions in india are one of the largest areas where tax cheating and black money goes in to. It's not surprising the sector was hit. I'm not sure if it's a bad thing.
I agree that having an unrelated background doesn't entirely disqualify a person from a position, but when the consequences of failure are high and more money is at stake, then selection should be much more stringent. She probably would be a great fit for that position at 99% of the companies in the country, but with Equifax's position and data, someone with a more extensive background in security would be preferable.
I haven't encountered this, but it'd be great if you could report it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

Who knows, the fix might make it in time for the actual release.
This is so simple but sounds really promising. Many thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a shot.

This is wonderful advice. I've been using the same concept for the last month or so. When I get home from work I walk the dogs and then sit down and commit to putting in a little work on whatever personal project I'm working on. More often than not my 15 minute commitment turns into an hour or more of progress.
Are electric scooters and other small electric vehicles such as balancing boards or the Qingbu pocket scooter (a ripoff of the Walkcar?) legal in the US?
They seem to be getting cheap now (saw the Xiaomi M365 for less than $330). Unfortunately in Germany you may not yet use them on public roads and sidewalks.

I can see them having an advantage over bikes (and cars) because you can just fold them up and carry them with you into a cab, the subway, your office or your home.

Yes, thankfully there's a nightly build[1].

Until there's a stable/signed release you have to allow unsigned extensions; set `xpinstall.signatures.required` to false.

To hide the default tab bar I needed to put the following in ~/.mozilla/firefox/xyz123-profile-here/chrome/userChrome.css

#TabsToolbar > * {

}

Some features, like autohide, aren't available with the new web extensions model, but otherwise works the same as pre-57 versions of TST.

I'm not sure we can blame an entire industry because of one sociopath.
it still is a very viable currency and transaction processing system, I would even argue the best right now for gambling, Bitcoin Cash, a fork of the original Bitcoin, the settlements are even faster, mainstream users can still use normal debit and credit cards, but the settlements will happen behind the scenes with bank-to-bank transfers or bitcoin transfers, its already happening on a small scale

I had the same problem from time to time when a Google search result page was open. Closing it made everything normal again. It'd be interesting to know if that was only me or if others have the same problem.
That’s just what I heard. If it’s true, there’s probabaly a garbage collection job running that eventually deletes the blobs.
Streetcar tracks are definitely a challenge in the city. Probably the root cause of ~1/3 of my friends reported crashes (unabashed anecdata). I ride on fatter tires than I would like in order to avoid getting stuck in em. Certain intersections are just a total mess of tracks (Queen/King/Roncesvalles for example), so I just go to pedestrian mode and walk my bike across the crosswalk there.

So yeah, it's definitely top of mind if you're riding on those streets, but there are things you can do to mitigate risk down to a level that's acceptable for me. For the record I live in Toronto, drive to work, all other trips are on my bike unless there's snow on the ground.
> For those that don't remember how tar works, the arguments are reversed compared to, say, cp.

Tar doesn't have positional file arguments; you use the 'f' flag to specify an archive file. You might be thinking of zip or some similar archiver in the DOS heritage.
Companies that take this sort of thing seriously ALSO have breaches occur. They just do a better job of mitigating them, and messaging them.
On Linux you can configure the combinations that the compose key accepts.
The paragraph above that is relevant as well. Vulkan is only on Linux and Windows, DX12 is on Windows, Metal is on Mac and iOS. They'd have to have multiple renderers written for different APIs to cover all the platforms that they support.
It seems we're confounding the original question, then. My point more succinctly was, if you use only a select number of methods from jQuery, it would not be hard to emulate the syntax using modern JS methods and wrapping them in a small bit of logic in a much smaller file size than including jQuery itself. If size is an issue -- for some, it is. Current JS has made up for a lot of what jQuery originally was intended to fulfill (and again, most likely because of jQuery). And if it's just a syntactic reference, it's really easy to employ the same standard throughout your app with a pretty simple helper class.

edit: I extended the above example to include some of the methods you mentioned, just for kicks. The append() function was the most difficult, but only because I had to figure out how to grab the child function's selector argument. I just had to bind the initial argument to the object in the constructor. It was a fun little challenge. I'm likely missing some functionality of it, but I was going for quick and dirty implementation as simply as I could make it.

> The thing about the NoSQL trend is that it's still very valid in some areas. Even big and slow companies have some project or supplier that uses a software with a NoSQL service in it.

This is a good point and I didn't do a good job of acknowledging it in my prior comment. There are use cases for NoSQL, but to me it's a tool for a narrower set of circumstances. My default is relational, unless I have a clear idea of why that isn't the right fit.
Equifax has existed since 1899. It's in an oligopoly business that is completely unassailable, for better or worse. It would be fine with or without Richard Smith, who has been CEO for the last 11 years. He will have made something like a minimum of ~$145 million over that time. (If you factor in the value of his options since the grants it's more like $300 million) It's unconscionable. Entrepreneurial reward for managerial duty. People give hedge fund managers a hard time but at least those guys founded their companies and built them up...it's these hired-hand CEO's that are the real problem.

In a previous discussion on HN, a pretty convincing argument was made that all the government needs to do is legislate any loss of information that includes a SSN is an automatic $100 penalty per SSN. Companies will need to buy insurance to cover this and the insurers will take care of the rest.
Another nice way of saying the "AI" we bandying about is not truly AI. Just trained machines to blindly do one thing very well.
I love the built-in widgets for date/time. It would be great if every browser had built-in widgets like this for all form fields (including complex ones) and styling became options vs mandatory.

Similar results here, Firefox is the slowest one:

- Safari Technology Preview: ~80

- Vivaldi Beta: ~72

- Firefox Beta: ~57

- Firefox Nightly: ~54
I agree that seeing Equifax go bankrupt over this would be great. But do you honestly believe your data will be safe?
All that time you spent hardening your architecture makes it safer, but not 100% safe. If it's hacked because of one mistake that one person made, would it be right to hold you criminally responsible?

I'm really looking forward to the proper release of Godot 3! Want to use it to get my kids into game writing, but have been holding off because Godot 2 has a custom scripting language which will be going away and I don't want to invest in that. Any idea when 3.0 ships?
That looks weird. Have you filed a bug?

Also, just in case, have you tried without extensions? Because that looks like something that a misbehaving WebExtension could easily do.
Not off-topic at all! I actually have a (very productive) friend who ends every day by making a list of the three things he's going to start the next day working on. That way he doesn't waste time in the morning switching back and forth between a dozen tasks, completing none of them.

Coming from a post-Soviet period, I am surprised a bit that this doesn't happen more often. Company owners would be killed seemingly without much worry if they crossed anyone powerful.

I was doing homework one night and felt the house shake, I thought it was an earthquake. It turns out a bomb went off in a 5 story apartment building nearby. Someone was trying to kill a banker so they left a bomb by their door.
I wonder if MacOS just isn't that much of a priority for Firefox? Popular but heavy sites like Facebook perform quite poorly relative to Chrome on my (admittedly quite old) early 2013 MBP, but the difference seems to vanish under Linux or Windows.

I'd love to switch to Firefox, I'm not that keen to be running a browser made by a gargantuan advertising agency.
That's not true, the legacy extensions kept working w/ the project quantum stuff until mozilla broke completely unrelated stuff. E.g. Greasemonkey only broke because they renamed (not removed) a few things.
Yes. I am using a throwaway exactly because of this close scrutiny like yours. Examples: I've known racists who are amazing engineers. The fact that they were awful racists didn't demean their engineering ability. That's why for some of my posts I prefer being anonymous. People like you would probably try and demean me because they disagree with me on something.

I am flawed like everybody else and I'll be the first to admit my own prejudices -- even if I am not ready to overcome them at the moment (which is a sad reality for most of us).

But the amount of nitpick and prejudice I am observing periodically on HN is alarming and I feel the need to call it out here and there.

You can take it as an insult or you can try and extract something from the criticism that can enrich you. It's your choice.

Also please note that I am not defending Apple per se. But I expect better criticisms on HN compared to what is rampant right here in this thread.

Me too. I felt numb with shock for a while after upgrading to 55.0 :D

Downgraded to 54.0 as fast as I could.
compared to Firefox 52 and Chrome, it's a big improvement.

And Safari isn't available on Ubuntu or Windows, so it scores a 0 on those platforms ;)

That's not true in places that have good bike infrastructure. E.g. Belgium, the Netherlands or Denmark get plenty of rain. That doesn't stop bicyclists at all. Cold and snow doesn't stop most people either. You just wear a couple of extra layers and go a bit slower if it's slippery.

Back at the time when Deep Blue won chess match against Kasparov everyone in the media said about superior intelligence of Deep Blue.

While I at that time clearly realized that IBM just built brute-force "bulldozer" which can look for 200 million positions per second. Even with that power it had only a slight advantage over Kasparov who can look at only a handful of positions per second.

Now, we have another generation of "intelligent" machines based on deep learning but I see this as just upgraded version of brute-force "bulldozers". Now, it takes hundreds of millions of samples to infer the rules which human can infer from only a thousand or even less samples.

So I would call truly intelligent machine which can learn to play chess or go looking/playing only to a few thousands examples and calculating only a few moves ahead and not more than a few moves per second. Obviously that machine would beat human intelligence completely.

Although, such machine still may not have self-consciousness with qualia but this yet another big challenge.
My understanding is her past roles included security work at HP, First Data, and Sun Trust. Equifax doesn't appear to have wandered into an orchestra practice and said "anyone wanna help run security?"

Yeah, she fucked up. No, it wasn't because of her college major.
TBH, i'm also confused, but i didnt invest more than 2 minutes looking at it. The menu changes the location to all sides which is a bit confusing. I also added some drop's, gave it a context, now they are gone?

It seems that the application is trying to help a lot, with video and the help pages etc. Which is good, but also a sign that its not very intuitive.
As someone that jumped ship from how slow Chrome has gotten and went to Nightly /w Stylo and (CPU threads - 1) e10s processes enabled about 2 monthsish ago...

Holy damn Firefox is actually fast.

Fair comparison, both having Pocket, uBlock, Evernote, OneNote, Pushbullet, and Bitwarden; neither of them having an extension the other doesn't. Above described Firefox Nightly config vs Chrome Dev.

Test machines are a workstation with a i7-4771 @ 3.9ghz, 32GB DDR3-2133, Radeon 7970 with a trio of 1080p screens (a very fast modern machine from the Haswell era) and a laptop with a i5-32120M, 8GB of DDR3-1600, Intel HD4000 iGPU feeding a 13" 2560x1600 @ 200% hidpi (an Ivy Bridge era MBPr 13" Late 2012). Both machines run Win10.

Both machines have less real world wait on Firefox than Chrome, and the interface has less latency between when I do something and it even begins processing the request. Also, under a ton of windows and tabs, Firefox seems to use less RAM and the speed gap seems to widen.

I don't care about about artificial benchmarks, btw, they never seem to measure what actually makes browsers slower for humans.

Edit: Even though I just said I don't care about benchmarks, using Speedometer 2.0-r2216: On the workstation: Firefox 58.0a1 2017-09-26 64bit 61.18 vs Chrome 63.0.3217.0 dev 64-bit 51.67; on the laptop, same versions: Firefox 28.58 vs Chrome 26.74

So, arguably, flat out benchmarkable performance is the same, with Firefox just slightly edging ahead (18% and 6% faster). It isn't enough to explain how fast Firefox feels now.

Edit 2: And now with Edge 40.15063.0.0/EdgeHTML 15.15063: Workstation, 46.72; Laptop 21.37. Firefox is 34% and 31% faster, Chrome is 25% and 11% faster.
It's cool. It's creative. It's different. Things that do not often top you're typical Hacker Newsie's values list, but - hey - if making software's a means to an end I never understood why anyone would write code themselves anyways.

You created something, and that's rad. Yeah, if you're trying to sell out you're doing it wrong, but sometimes I wish I had marked up my soul a little higher back in the day.

Wait a second, so your solution is a digital shared bus? With a need to look stuff up in a separate RAM block? Do you realize that this is pretty much the worst thing from an energy efficiency standpoint?

I've looked at the NeuroGrid link. It's still not clear to me why they want to use spikes. Some parts of their design decisions (e.g. AER bus) are forced by the need to deal with spikes, and it feels like their hardware architecture would be simpler and more efficient if they didn't. Is the only reason "biological plausibility"?

Ultimately, what we want is hardware that can do what my 250 Watts 1080Ti card does (e.g. reach high classification accuracy on ImageNet) but faster and using less less power. Spikes don't seem like the best approach to achieve that.

I kinda enjoy the build quality of Berlin's shared bikes. "Heavy" is usually attributed to cheap materials, but for these bikes, it's a result of the requirements of their typical usage. I've heard prices of around $4000 quoted for these bike, meaning most of their components are better than almost all other bikes on the road.

They seem indestructible, and, once moving, can roll forever without slowing down. Yes, because of their high weight. But also because they're well-maintained and have low losses in components such as bearings and gears.

The weight is obviously far too high, and I wouldn't buy anything with these characteristics for personal use. But it's fun once in a while Used to be even better when they had suspensions that basically allowed you to take the curbs without slowing down.
The way it is being achieved is disgraceful.

Open Mesh S8 Cloud-Managed Switch: An In-Depth Analysis
The major purpose of class actions is as a deterrent for the company. If I cause $10 in harm to a 10 million people, it's not financially viable for them each to sue me, but someone should still be motivated to go after me civilly for that.

Why do lawyers get so much? In the above hypothetical scenario,

- No plaintiff is going to be adequately motivated to sue, so the lawyer has to have incentive.

- No plaintiff has an incentive to pay a lawyer, so he or she has to operate on a contingency basis. This is a significant risk.

- Finding and organizing a large number of plaintiffs (some percent of 10 million), and suing a large corporation, is an expensive process.

- The cost of the suit is incurred before the payoff, which may be years later given the appeal process.

I agree that class actions are often inappropriately used, but that lawyers make much more than the individual plaintiffs is not a priori a bad thing.
