> people standing on they chairs when taking pictures instead of enjoying the food

Haha! I suspect it might have something to do with the relaxed culture of the Southern California beach cities. I've never seen anyone standing on chairs taking photos. Around here, that would probably create mirth and laughter among the other people at the restaurant. It's fine if you want to do that, but it's not a common behavior.

I have seen a few people take photos of their plates (while seated), but even that is pretty uncommon. Most people around here are just interested in chatting with the other people at their table. But if you want to take photos of your food, have fun!
As a yankee that moved to the south for a while before retreating to Seattle, I can say that my reaction would vary based on the local culture. There are areas where it seems EVERYONE is a pastor and enough of them are preachy and/or judgmental enough that, yeah, it's a conversation killer. The constant barrage can also make you hypersensitive. I didn't much care until after a few years of living there, but by the time I left the constant "have a blessed day!", the bumper stickers, the billboards, the email signatures (even from state govt employees), most any personal local story in person, in writing, or in news...I mentally flinch if something gets near the topic even though I used to not have much reaction at all.

I imagine 'doctor for souls' is intended to show humor and approachability, but as you say, it would not work that way for me.
I create Profile's that are mapped 1-to-1 to django.contrib.auth.models.User all the time to hold additional fields. I consider that the "orthodox" approach that Django encourages.

I've even implemented "case-insensitive username" a time or two, but done it by overriding some logic in the login view rather than modifying the user model.

Hey everyone,

After helping hundreds of companies with PR and having talked to thousands of founders, the most common thing we hear is: "I'm not sure how to get started with PR" or "I'll think about it in a few months when we're ready to launch." So for hack week, we brainstormed around this idea of "how to get started", and one of the projects we built is a super simple, low commitment and low effort way to get started with PR. Just tell us a little a bit about your company in 30 seconds, and voila, we try to find the most relevant journalists for what you're working on, and let you subscribe to a weekly digest to stay on top of news about your industry, competitors, etc.

Whether you're working at a company, starting a company, or just thinking about starting something, we hope this can help! It's still a very rough v0.1. Feedback, bug reports, etc are would be SUPER APPRECIATED! Thanks so much!

A few different things going into generate the list of 5 journalists that we think are relevant to your company, including a simple machine learned topic model. Happy to give more details if anyone's interested. Some of the results could definitely use some heavy tweaking— feedback is super appreciated!
For an alternative view on who is to blame:

A lot of the problem is their lack of autonomy. They are dependent on the federal government yet don't have the power of a US state. It's not so much corruption as desperation that drove them to this point.

As a child, I played this game quite often with my babysitter - an older woman who for close to a decade was essentially a third grandmother.

Our paths cross every five or ten years when I'm visiting back home - she's in her 90s now - and we still fondly remember playing this game together.

I encourage everyone play these games with their children - there's something about the interaction of the players that creates warm, lasting memories for everyone involved.
I strongly don't favor impeachment for this, not by a long-shot (and ironically, for a lot of the same reasons that I don't like Donald Trump), but you can find the information that you're seeking about his duties here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Two_of_the_United_Stat...

As to the subtext of your question...

It's worth keeping in mind that impeachment is a political act, not a neutral act taken by judges who are impartial, and that as a result there's a lot of leeway when it comes to determining what is and is not impeachable.

From Wikipedia, I think this is an interesting and relevant note:

> Opinions differed, however, as to the reasons Congress should be able to initiate an impeachment. Initial drafts listed only treason and bribery, but George Mason favored impeachment for "maladministration" (incompetence). James Madison argued that impeachment should only be for criminal behavior, arguing that a maladministration standard would effectively mean that the President would serve at the pleasure of the Senate. Thus the delegates adopted a compromise version allowing impeachment for "treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors."

It's intentionally vague and inherently a political issue, where if Congress impeaches for a bad reason and overturns will of the people, those in Congress can be removed from office in the next election. It's not reviewable by the courts and literally anything is impeachable if Congress says it's impeachable.
I worked in dumb phone standards 12 years ago (GlobalPlatform) and it was actually in the standards to tell the user "you are in the secure zone". Well, OEMS in the western world were not really willing to implement it, funny it comes back now.

>I haven't read of a public transit system where the fares covered the costs of building and operating it. I have read that MTA (NYC), BART(SF), Amtrak[1], NJTransit, and other US ones definitely are in the red year after year.

In all of those cases, the fares plus gain in property values far exceed their costs. Indeed, every one of those authorities realizes that it would be net money loser on the sales/property/business taxes generated if they could stop paying maintenance and shut down the transit systems for free.

It's a condition that can largely be controlled through medication, but based on my wife's experience it's a condition that has a horrible tendency to rear it's ugly head without notice and for seemingly no apparent reason so I'm not sure I'd generalize it as being "treatable" for everyone.

AV use other methods, except for signatures, for example running code in the sandbox or heuristics. If the malware was not obfuscated then it could be detected even without signatures.

Running an engineering house and dealing with emission/immunity issues all the time. Also have a small precompliance capability in house. This is a very good summary to the topic! I really like the pointers to the pitfails like "notice the vertical ground plane next to the LISN".

One thing to remember: if you see external EMC measures (shielding fingers, extra ferrites, copper tape, line filters) on the final product you can be sure the development has been too agile and regulatory compliance an aferthought. Happens way too often.

One thing with precompliance in the office environment to keep in mind. The "magic environmental noise substraction" on EMI receivers does not work that well if noise is stronger than the signal. Just pure statistics at play.
The APL lineage is generally extremely clever in the micro but completely normal levels of clever in the macro.

However, I found the programs being discussed in the J discussion lists completely impenetrable.

I would argue that (a big) part of the issue is that proponents often overstate the readability of such code. My usual experience from the J mailing list is that people "read" code by looking at the prose description of what it does, puzzling through how they would do that themselves, and then looking for common structure between the original code and their own reimplementation. It's a good learning experience as far as solving that particular problem is concerned (as there's often more than one way to do it), though it definitely runs counter to the meme that comments and meaningful names are superfluous. The other usual excuse that "the alphabet just isn't the one you're familiar with" isn't really true of mailing list regulars.

As to the debt (not the natural disaster): Let's be clear, Puerto Rico is a wealthy place. It's richer than Spain. It's $72 billion debt is from overly generous public benefits. It's basically Illinois or Detroit. The Federal Government isn't bailing those places out either, because unlike TARP (which we recovered with a slight profit), we'd never get that money back.
It's a little light on specs, but the price point is amazing for getting the broader community excited about VR.
ack still shines when I have a unique application to highlight one or more regex expressions in a log file because of its unique `--passthru` option, AND support of PCRE regex.

So I can have regex like 'abc\K(def)(?=ghi)'. That will highlight ONLY 'def' in the text but only if that string is preceeded by 'abc' and 'ghi' follows.

- ripgrep cannot do that as it does not support PCRE

ag support --passthrough, but I haven't yet felt the need to try that as ack --passthru has been baked into my workflow and aliases for ages.

I use ripgrep (rg) otherwise by default.

The point is that everybody is a different niche. If you start this attitude that feature X is uncommon and not worth the effort, then you do that for a thousand feature X's, eventually you make a product for no one and since you can't predict what niche feature X will suddenly become more important later, the future doesn't happen on your platform.

I have talked to far too many people at MS who have exactly this dismissive attitude about every single feature.
pretty cool suggestions, even though it suggests one of my own projects.
This makes VR way way way more attractive to me - accessible and affordable. If VR will break through this seems like the product to do it.

The trouble with VR so far isn’t VR itself, because Vr is actually pretty cool, but the trouble is that it’s a giant pain to get into, both cost and set up and so on, it’s not currently reasonable to buy vr . This product seems like it could change that. Seems like a big deal to me.
In my opinion, I don't think cities should be partnered completely with one company. We may be closer to a dystopian future than we think..
Let's not overlook the context in which those bad policies took place, as if PR had been having a wild party while the mainland sobbed over its departure from the path of fiscal rectitude. Also, let's not forget that the citizens who live there have little input into the financial administration of the territory. You shouldn't need a degree in finance to assess candidates at election time, nor does voting for a particular candidate provide voters with anything resembling direct fiscal control.

I've seen some interesting rules-based design games that are more process-based art than games. One of the co-creators of Paper JS [http://paperjs.org/] is a member of this group of artists.

Some are based on 3-4 participants https://www.conditionaldesign.org/

Some work with an arbitrary number of participants, e.g. visitors adhering stickers to art gallery walls and floor (see "red fungus"): https://web.archive.org/web/20100829051147/http://poly-luna....
Thanks. There is however:

"Investigators did determine that, armed with the knowledge that Kaspersky’s software provided of what files were suspected on the contractor’s PC, hackers working for Russia homed in on the machine and obtained a large amount of information, said the people familiar with the matter."

But that sounds very implausible, which entry would "the hackers" use? Note that nobody claims that Kaspersky did that "obtaining" that way (by hacking). But it appears to me that Kaspersky software simply first detected suspicious files and then also send them to the servers, which is what the software of most antivirus vendors does. And then the "hackers" story was invented to make it more dramatic. That better fits with the story of the NSA trojan files found on Kaspersky servers by the Israeli, as they hacked Kaspersky.
There's existing tech out there that does a reasonable job.

Name a single product you'd feel comfortable drop-shipping to a non-techy relative that is geographically distant, confident that they can get it working and won't be disappointed when they do.

There's been an article posted not once, but twice to HN in the last two days about someone returning their Apple Watch because it won't currently stream music, despite the fact that Apple specifically says, "coming soon". And the article's author pays for the developer program, and should know better than most. But as I understand your argument, you're saying there exist products today that actually live up to the hype so well that Joe Normal won't be disappointed. What you call "reasonable job", I call "tech preview" with regards to the current state and it's level of usefulness for average folks.

Ask HN: Homomorphic encryption, differential privacy – who does it best?
I've been digging into ways to better analyze sensitive data -- and I've started to see a few companies who are making great strides in this area (e.g., Duality Technologies). I've also heard that places like Google are developing hardware-signed custom homomorphic encryption that's relatively high performance.

Any tips on who is doing the best homomorphic encryption, differential privacy, secure multi-party computation (or other techniques) that are relatively high performance?

You usually need credit to rent a car.

I'm guessing that at the prices the parent listed, the person isn't buying a $70k luxury car for $1000+ a month, but has bad credit and can't put any money down on the car so they're going to radically overspend. I'm really hoping that it's a late model Honda or Toyota that will go 300,000 miles and not something that was salvaged.
Okay...so I'm going to go waaaay out on a limb in hopes not of starting a flame war, but of starting a deep discussion...hopefully?

This article says in effect "young men can make poor investment brokers due to their testosterone levels affecting their decisions, we should fix that" and nobody bats an eye (5 points after 21 hours of being posted to HN)

If I said something similar like "young women can make poor tech executives due to their estrogen levels affecting their decisions, we should fix that" I would be banned in a New York minute* for being a sexist and so on.

*not that I believe that, just pointing out the perceived double-standard here

Edit: change the position of investment brokers/tech executives to X and Y as you see fit, I'm not trying to compare the two positions, only the general principle.
Nope. I actually was expecting to read about a lack of housing for displaced Amazonians due to deforestation.
[video] One hacker way: rational alternative of Agile (2016)
Which is a step backwards compared to bittorrent, since that can also provide decentralized hole punching, bootstrapping and peer discovery and not just the bulk data transfer. Plus being implemented at the TCP/UDP level allows more fine-grained control over the data flow, making it more friendly towards the network.
I learned when writing bash scripts for cygwin under Windows that Windows doesn't support copy-on-write fork()'s. This means that any new process is extremely expensive to fork, because it copies the memory from the process it was forking from, even if it doesn't need it.

As a result, I did as much as I could using only bash internals, and very rarely did I use pipes, because they always fork()'d a bash subshell in addition to whatever the process was.

In about 7k lines of bash script written to completely automate the iterative development of two games with a shared game engine featuring dockerized server containers, I was able to avoid using sed in almost all of it. When I did use it (pretty sure only two places), it was basically for mass substitution of variables inside of text files, and the multi-line syntax worked very nicely for this, as I could form the sed line with a loop over all the variables I wanted to replace.

It turns out for most bash scripts, you can do the most common sed substitutions using bash's rich variable substitution expressions. For instance, you see in a lot of bash scripts calling commands like "dirname" and "basename" to get the directory and filename of paths. There's a much faster way to do this in bash:

path=/tmp/my/path/to/stuff.txt
dir="${path%/*}"
file="${path##*/}"
other="${path/stuff/other}"

That dir line means "delete the shortest string that matches /* from the end of the string". That file line means "delete the longest string matching */ from the start of the string." That other line means "replace the word stuff with the word other in this string".
Whenever they apologize for the system being slow, or difficult for them to use, I say "Yeah, you know we program them that way on purpose, as retribution for how we were treated in high school."
