Just want to add my thanks to the growing list. Kind of surprising that they didn't follow the best practices for abbreviations and have "SoC (System on a Chip)" at the first instance of the abbreviation.
I’ve read some of Newton’s letters while doing research at the Royal Society archives. He definitely comes off as severely deficient in social skills just from the random sampling I looked at - I think one was complaining about his land lady offering him food. Granted, it’s impossible to know many things “for sure” in history but “Newton had a difficult personality” is a pretty good bet, based on those letters and the bios I’ve read.

Another fun fact from the letters - Newton invited the con artist George Psalmanazar over for lunch at some point circa 1703. Psalmanazar claimed to be a Taiwanese prince but had long blonde hair and a faint French accent. Unclear if Newton was taken in, but Halley was able to stump him with an astronomy-based question. Sounds like something from the Baroque Cycle but it all really happened.

> And to be honest, I think human sacrifice is literally what we believe in. When something goes wrong, we require someone to feel pain. The more permanent that pain, the better. This goes beyond crime.

I don't think it's about human sacrifice. Rather, I think it's about imposing enough of a punishment to deter other people from committing the crime. Presumably people committed the crime knowingly, being aware of the fact that the punishment may go in such a direction.
Which one did you think would be best for a first year language?

I was taught Pascal first, then C++. Pascal really helped with learning the basics. I think jumping right into C++ or Java would have been confusing.
You could have just used sed for that?
> our clients frequently do not have access to their DNS

How could they not have access to a service that they pay for?

It sounds like you have a human problem on your hands, not a technical one. I would think about how to get an updated SPF into their DNS. If the boss said "just make it work" then to me that means to call the clients and hand hold them through figuring out who hosts their DNS records and how to open a support ticket or reset their self-service web portal login password, or whatever else the client needs to do to get those records in there.

SPF is very easy to configure and will improve your deliverability significantly. After you configure SPF, mail servers will acknowledge your servers as a valid sender for your client domain. It will no longer be spoofing. The only difference between spoofing and not spoofing is domain validation.

DKIM is not tied to an IP address but the 2 extra steps of complexity involved with DKIM have allowed for SPF to be the dominant domain verification method for sending email.
Sure. You'd have to be pretty lucky to find a wild salmon in a sushi place - and if you did it'd probably be twice the price.

A somewhat recent development in packing fish is automated cutting and vacuum packing - alive to wrapped in less than 30 (or so) seconds.

This is afaik also being done on factory ships, with fish like cod. Still rather new (a few years?) and expensive - but a great way to treat fish. Many of the advantages of flash freezing without the down sides.
Measure the market. If there is bleed and you can market/reach paying customers/convert etc., go after them, assuming costs to ROI math works out and you aren't over leveraged in case of loss.
Yeah, I haven't tried them out yet, but I'm a big fan of SES (for transactional emails).

Hardware instructions for AES and GHASH make AES-GCM faster than ChaCha20-Poly1305.

Apparently the most popular cipher mode used in TLS is AES-GCM and has seen a lot of attention, including its inclusion in the linux kernel[1]. OTOH, ChaCha20-Poly1305 is used for mobile, for example by Google[2].

Ask HN: Pursue Acquisition as Stealth Startup?
We are a small startup in stealth mode. We are in talks with signing up our first customers but it is slow. I notice that some startups (ie. Periscope) have been acquired pre-launch. How did this happen? One of our advisors is very close with the CEO of a major tech company and has mentioned that our product is right in line with the CEO's pet interests. He’s offered to put us in touch with the CEO. Wondering if this is a good idea and would like to hear from anyone who got acquired like this. How did it happen? How much were you offered? How do we know if it's an acquihire or a real acquisition? How long did they offer you to vest? How did you protect yourself from getting ripped off by the huge company when you don’t have any market share? Just wondering if this is something we should pursue.
A Guardian article https://www.theguardian.com/business/nils-pratley-on-finance... says:

> Arch-rival Airbus has swooped from the wings to grab majority control of the C-Series and proclaim that the 300% tariffs can be side-stepped via the simple remedy of conducting the final assembly of planes destined for US customers in Alabama.

So, how much of a final assembly counts as final assembly? I remember a story of how Chinese shirtmakers circumvented tariffs against Made in China shirts: they sent the body of the shirt and sleeves to Hong Kong, workers in Hong Kong sewed the sleeves onto the shirt, slap "Made in Hong Kong" on it, and problem solved...

Apparently I'm not the one asking this question: http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-airbus-bombard...

> "There is a legal question of how much of the parts and components and value-added needs to actually happen in the U.S. for tariffs to no longer apply," said Chad Bown, a senior fellow with the Peterson Institute for International Economics. "You can't just fly an airplane to Alabama and say it's made in America."
Curious where you draw your morals from...
Yep! This 100%! Ebay is trash now. What was fun was finding some thing you wanted (like vibram shoes) and bidding against other people on them and possibly sniping an awesome deal. Instead it's now like "Well I can buy these now... for regular price.. just like anywhere else.."

Can any of the recent protest violence that's taken place be comparable to the events in 1968? Today's movements are vocal but still a pale shadow of those in the '60s. Whatever you can say about the U.S. branch of the Antifa, they're not nearly as violent as the Weathermen Underground, Symbionese Liberation Army, etc.

Labelling the modern movements as uniquely scary requires a selective memory of history.
Thank you!

First, I did not think the MBP was that heavy. But you are absolutely correct. I put it on my scale and it comes in a bit over 4.5 lbs. (I'm attributing the extra weight to the stickers.) So that does make the SB2 faster, better screen, and longer battery life. Could be an expensive realization :-).

I was recalling the article in ars where they were talking about the LTE version [1], which is missing the i7. I suspect I'm the only one who wants a laptop with a decent LTE radio that can take advantage of the increased area to offer something which can pull in even weak LTE signals and work at something resembling full speed. I guess we have to wait for Intel to do some sort of Centrino type deal with an LTE modem manufacturer before we see something like that.

This argument is repeated ad nauseam and a bit of thinking on distribution and magnitude of risk will show you why it is nonsense in this context.
I've run into this first hand. I needed an X-ray but only 1 of the 3 Urgent Care centers had the machine. I went back the next day to that UCC and the X-ray technician was out.
I had a similar experience: Pascal in high school, then switched to C by the time university rolled around (mostly because of it being a Unix environment). The big difference is that I did see Pascal as a serious language.

I almost laughed at a friend who decided to implement C in a compiler course. Having a preference for programming in a language is one thing. Trying to implement it is quite another. He should have realized that. We both had two page grammar that defined Pascal from our high school days.
Since there is also a WiFi hub, engaging wirelessly is evidently also something “you are supposed to do”, and presumably moreso than physical interaction as the number of supported simultaneous physical interactors is much lower than the supported simultaneous wireless connections.

Ah, thanks for the reply Tony. This would indeed prevent the problem I described. Kinda curious about the downvotes, since tptacek's original comment suggested nothing like CHAIN or STREAM, but on crypto HN you gotta roll with the punches.
This is a great point too! It has, admittedly, always been difficult to use ebay to find the best prices because people refused to use categories properly. Trying to find the cheapest iphone 6 was like 60 pages of stupid cases and danglers!

One of the worst aspects of "conversational racism", the kind of racism which manifests itself in talking about attitudes and expression of opinions, is "but they're one of the good ones": "Oh, I don't like members of group Y, they're all crooks, but I like that person. They're one of the good ones."

It's so bad because it makes it impossible to refute blanket assertions by pointing to specific examples. The usual understanding of "the exception that proves the rule" (not any of the sensical interpretations of that saying, but the usual understanding of it) is a broader example of this: I have a blanket assertion, you disprove it by pointing to a contradictory example, and my belief in that blanket assertion gets stronger, as opposed to weaker, due to that thought-terminating cliche.

I think this is not fair. It really depends on what you are looking for.

You really do not get speciality items from Amazon. For example old photographic gear.
Couldn't agree more, when the article said "Starting and tearing down millions of heavy processes a day would create undue churn on other infrastructure" I just thought, yes, I best you'd struggle to create an architecture so monolithic in Erlang or Elixir. Just one of the many benefits of course... add on the the number of process you can create on one machine while maintaining throughput...
Investments generally have some reasonable “safety“ of principal, which typically means they’re based on something with an intrinsic value. A stock gives you a claim to future profits, a loan/bond: legal claim on underlying collateral, and currencies back in the day: gold.

Investments are a bet that intrinsic value will increase.

Speculations are a bet about beliefs and psychology of future buyers.

Right now, bitcoin is purely speculative.

If it becomes sufficiently pervasive, it will enter the territory of most fiat currencies that have left the gold standard. With sufficient volume, liquidity, and traders, arbitrageurs will make it tightly track some asset/assets with intrinsic value.

There are several problems:

- It is more than just posts on social media. The databases cover "sensitive medical data" and "financial details" and much more.

- The oversight body was not informed that this data was being shared with foreign governments, law enforcement and industry partners.

- There is no oversight on the sharing of this data with these partners, and no legal penalties for misuse of the data.

- There is no requirement that partner agencies have similar safeguards with respect to processing the data that the UK agencies already have in place.

Just because it hasn't been frozen doesn't mean that it is fresh either. Consider the number of smoked fish options (such as smoked salmon) -- the fish can be shipped refrigerated after smoking, and can last quite a while.
What’s more remarkable to me is that people happily offer up this data on themselves, and what worries me is what intelligence agencies do to spy on people who care enough not to broadcast their every movement, meal, and stray thought.
In Italy, it's actually mandated by law that raw fish needs to get frozen at least for a very short time before being served, as a precaution against anisakis.

> 1) there are now an infinite number of URLs for every one of your pages that may end up separately stored on various services (mitigated for only some kinds of service if you redirect to correct)

No need to redirect, that's what canonical links are for:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Link_types

I don't disagree in that I mostly dislike URL slugs, too. Except for some hub pages ("photos", "blog", etc.), a numerical ID is more than enough. But the combination of ordering and display modes and filtering can still amount to a huge number of combinations, so canonical links are still needed - to have as many options for the user as possible and allow them all to be bookmarked, but also give search engines a hint on what minor permutations they can ignore safely.

I wish search engines would completely ignore words in the URL. If it's not in the page (or the "metadata" of actual content on pages linking to it, and so on), screw the URL. If it is in the page (and the URL), you don't need the URL. As long as they are incentivized, we'll have fugly URL schemes.
