Googling your reps by zip code is also helpful (direct lines).

Call them and let them know you want legislation passed to guarantee title ii (2) net neutrality. Title 2 is the "internet as a utility" provision.

Title 2 is important because opponents are claiming they are for "net neutrality" too. Title 2 is the "treat it like a utility" neutrality that has been in place since 2015.

If you're making less than $75k you may want to mention that you don't want your taxes to go up while you're at it.
Interesting peek behind the veil, localization goes far beyond simple translation but that's not immediately obvious to most, unless they're playing a poorly localized game!

I don't have much else to to add except to say that Odyssey is a fantastic game and you should buy it. I'm a PC gamer and have no nostalgia goggles for any Nintendo property except Pokémon - I don't even like platformers! - but that game is a joy to play. The section where the song in TFA played was particularly stand out.
First region is top secret. So technically data in the existing region could be moved to the new region, but not vice versa.

Well, yeah. People don't just participate in schemes without getting "paid" for it.

Ask HN: How do you handle large files in Git Repos under development?
Our development team is facing this issue right now; we need to include some larger binaries (pip and debian install files) with our Github repo. They're not likely to change much over the coming years, but necessary since we run our updates offline, and need the packages to be easily accessible for testing and development. To test and release, right now we're simply able to click the green "Download Zip" on Github. So we're balancing two issues: Putting the binaries right in Github will eventually make the repo bloated. And putting them aside and packaging them means that we have to take an extra step for testing, and that someone will eventually forget this or screw it up.

Anyone have any experience with this? We've looked at the following:

1. Submodules - This seems almost perfect, but requires some change in developer behavior. We are used to downloading a test zip package for offline testing from the Github website.
2. Batch/Bash File Packaging - Writing batch files that will automatically package up the larger files with the Github repo before we use in testing or release.
3. LFS - Git Large File Storage - We haven't really looked at the pros and cons here much. Any experience?
Have you considered doing manual memory management in GC language?

Create your own memory pool and use your own new() and free() functions just like with C/C++. When you free() memory it goes back to the object pool and is recycled.
All four of those factors are prime in the new number ring, giving 6 a dual existence

Those factors are irreducibles, but they aren't primes, which is the reason why the uniqueness of factorization fails.

A nonzero non unit element of a ring is called prime if p|ab implies p|a or p|b.

A nonzero non unit element of a ring is called irreducible if p=ab implies that a is a unit or b is a unit (invertible element).

Primes are irreducibles in an integral domain, but the converse is true in unique factorization domains and Z[√-5] is not one.
> First, he withheld the amount of capital gains, so everyone who initially responded naturally assumed it was under $500k, which is true of 99.9% of transactions. That was very misleading information to omit.
Secondly, he complained about broker fees, but it isn't required to sell a house using a broker by any stretch. Just do FSBO if you think the 3% cut (probably less) isn't worth it. And 3% isn't much at all when your already expensive house just went up over 100% in value. Facile and disingenuous.

There's nothing misleading about that. He didn't mislead you. You misled you.

> Pretending that he and his wife are "trapped" in his house and "can't afford to sell" makes it sound like a horrific and dire situation. Which is completely misleading, he and his wife are quite wealthy and could do anything they wanted. They are pretty much the opposite of "trapped."

You don't really understand money, it seems like. The fact that you have equity in the home you live in doesn't mean you can "do anything you want". I already explained why this is so.

> They bought their house for something like $600k and now it's probably worth $1.3M. They pay 20% taxes on the $200k, so $40k and they lose 3% if they use a broker. That's another $40k, so $80k total. Let's make it an even $100k. So they have $1.2M to throw around, subtract $500k to pay off the existing mortgage, that's $700k free and clear.
$700k is a hell of a down-payment, even in the ritziest areas of Marin. Buy whatever you want.

700k is indeed a great down payment. But you have no idea what their income stream is like. If they aren't making a large income, they won't be able to afford their mortgage payments if they need to buy a house in an expensive area like SF. What he means by 'trapped' is that they have theoretically made all this money, but the money is of no actual use to them. And he is completely correct.

> I own a restaurant in norcal and have an employee whose room share / rental house burned in the recent fires. He goes to SRJC, doesn't have any family in the area, had no rental insurance, makes $12 an hour and no savings.
THAT's a dire situation, and considering I know people in situations like that, OP's framing of his (extremely cushy) situation as "I can't afford X!" is pretty disgusting to me.

Gee, it does indeed sound dire. Maybe you should pay your employees more rather than yelling at people on the internet for being insensitive about money? Seems you're in a position to actually do something about that situation. But you won't. And there's a very good reason you won't: because it's bad business. The economics don't make sense for you to do that. Just like the economics of the OP's situation don't make him wealthy. Absolute values are irrelevant, it's the equilibrium that matters.

And secondly, making silly statements like "THATS NOT DIRE THIS IS DIRE" is absurd. Almost everyone posting here lives in a first world country. There are infinitely 'more dire' situations out there than any of us are in, and playing this childish 'no true scotsman' game is a waste of time.
How do we verify they USD exists? Trust them? In their terms they state that there's no guarantee that they're redeemable for USD. The whole debate depends on whether the USD exists or not.

Certainly you won't believe it does without some strong verification right?
Most days, I use my phone in ultra power saving mode. Only whatsapp, sms, phone, and the internet browser is available. And the battery life is phenomenal. 10% literally gives me 24 hour standby time. Oh and I can whitelist maps if I need to. My only issue is uber, which is accessible only in normal mode and has no alternative when I need a cab.
What helped me a lot was being rigorous in changing notifications so I only get alerts for important things. The defaults are really stupid, I really don’t care that “X posted a video” - why is it important and why does it need my attention NOW?

I always have my phone on silent, and the only time it even vibrates is when I receive a phone call. IM notifications are displayed on the screen, but as it doesn’t make a noise or vibrate I might not find out until a few hours later. For group chats I usually set them to muted, so I need to purposely go in and see what’s going on.

For most other apps I usually have notifications disabled, and some I have a badge count displayed - one day I will probably get around to sorting out those 2382 unread emails, but I’ve learned to ignore the 101 unlistened podcasts.

Are articles that pull cheap punches & empty-headed loudmouths on Twitter a good metric for what's actually popular, though?
I 100% agree with you how risky it is and how hard to prove this is for bfx. It's very dangerous and there is a lot of money on the line (not just the tethers themselves, USDT reaches for and beyond bfx).

However I don't think it's obvious that this thing will implode, based on the information we have we can only speculate. Pointing to screenshots about being unable to withtdraw tethers is a red herring and has nothing to do with whether tether will implode.
JWICS/SIPR/NSAnet/etc. are air gapped in that terminals are not allowed to be dual homed to any other network or to each other.
Interesting point. I'm not really seeing the bottleneck with respect to defense sustainment though.

In terms of critical defense: L-3, Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, and Elbit (Israel) are a few major players off the top of my head that cater to domestic weapon system displays.

In terms of consumer displays: Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are allies. Humoring a doomsday isolation scenario with consideration towards America's disposable first-world couch potato culture, there's probably enough TVs/monitors in existing circulation throughout the country to sustain even the most improbably protracted conflict, let alone used surplus being auctioned off by the pallet for pennies on the dollar. Might even resuscitate a dead repair trade and create a few meaningful jobs too. Of course, this all assumes the government doesn't acknowledge a supply deficiency and fails to seed the capability need.

Don't get me wrong. I agree that the status quo of domestic technology production isn't exactly a self-lubricating wheel and leaves much to be desired...but it's not exactly dead in the water either.
Can you explain why that was convincing to you?

Tether announcement on their own website mentions their Taiwan banks have frozen all international wire transfer since April 18: https://tether.to/announcement/

Tether has printed $600 million worth of tokens since, so either:
1) Local Taiwanese have deposited $600 million to buy Bitcoins through domestic wires, OR
2) Tether is lying and printing tokens out of thin air.

Place your bets gentlemen.
I'm having a senior moment here, but wasn't it common to include space in instruction-space and initialized data space, designed to permit binary patching by jump table to (currently) un-used pre-assigned regions?

I thought I'd even seen reference to support in compilers to pre-assign such spaces.

If (for instance) this is a product acquired from outside the Redmond campus, run successfully unpatched since B.C. and now needing work, it might actually be more effective to do what they did instead of reverse-compiling code, re-implementing, the whole shebang.

Security nightmare? Sure. Unsafe? depends. NASA pay old-timers the big bucks to keep things working out in space, which probably involves processes which aren't morally far removed from this.
The point is that Sinclair is very pro-Trump, to the point that all affiliates nationwide are forced to run pro-Trump editorial content while CNN publishes things Trump doesn't like.
Contrary to the tone of the article, I wish more of the small and very-likely-security-related patches would come in the form of "actual patches" like this --- and also distributed as actual diffs instead of whole-file-replacements, since this greatly improves the user experience; those of you who have experienced Windows Update taking tens of minutes to download and apply updates may be disappointed and irritated to realise that even if the actual changes are tiny, as in this case, applying the update involves downloading the entire file again. If there are 10 updates which affect a total of 5 KB in a 20MB file, for each one that's installed, you end up redownloading the whole thing, or 200MB of bandwidth used (wasted) to make 5KB of changes. It's not even smart enough to jump to and download just the latest version of all the selected updates.

Another advantage of the small and localised changes, besides rapid and efficient application (and reversion), is the ability to do it to all in-memory copies of the file in addition to the one on disk, eliminating the need to reboot.

A company like Microsoft that has solid and complex software development and security practices in place would never deem manually binary editing as acceptable.

Perhaps what we need is better tooling to make this process easier, and I guess in general a more "bidirectional" view of binaries vs. source --- small changes in source should correspond to proportionally small changes in binaries, and also proportionally small updates for end-users.

The current "binaries are sacred and shall only be the outputs of long and complex build processes" attitude is neither efficient nor optimal from the perspective of the end-user experience, or even developers sometimes --- for example, changing a one-letter typo in a string constant and testing the change should not involve hours of compilation, deployment, and installation, but be closer to the minutes it would take to do it in a hex editor.

I posted more on this topic recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15729874
Their infrastructure is meant to all be HA from memory, and unless you're doing stupid things like caddy did[1] small windows of downtime shouldn't cause much issue for ongoing operations anyway - you will likely be starting to attempt renewing certs weeks before they expire.

the reports you're referring to are very docile to say the least.

"Otherwise, the team of international experts found no evidence for any increases in the incidence of leukemia and cancer among affected residents."

Except that according to official numbers Belarus, which after the explosion was right down the wind from it, has overall 1.5 times higher cancer rates than Russia or Ukraine have (Russia and Ukraine have the same rate) with some cancer rates being 2x-3x in the Gomel and Mogilev region - the regions right next to the Chernobyl. Such cancer picture is a new development compare to pre-Chernobyl years.

>It would be interesting to know if those "unusual cancers" were in some part a result of radionuclide exposure from Chernobyl or the result of other factors.

Anybody is welcome to suggest such "other factors" which would explain the overall rate increase after Chernobyl with the distribution of rate so that it clearly increases in the regions closer to Chernobyl, while these factors must also be Belarus specific compare to Russia and Ukraine.
Just because tether predates the big USD wire problems does not mean it's creation was unrelated. One of the biggest risk any exchange has is compliance, specifically with the US regulators (and banks).

Even if BFX did not know this before they build their exchange, this most likely became clear from day 1. Tether is a great hedge against this (politics aside).

Could you address anything that you think is "factually incorrect"?
Tether patch invalidates the root transaction, so child transactions don't matter. Check it out on Github.
There are no four classical states of matter. Nor, relatedly, would plasma have been observable to a medieval person. What parallel?
Because a docker machine spawns with the nginx executable - and because of letsencrypt is unable to start.

Docker services are not long running processes on a base OS. The entire OS is pretty much freshly created when you spawn a container. This gets to be an issue with letsencrypt.

What we do is take a 3 year certificate and bake it into docker build. So we only have to mess with it very infrequently. I can shutdown and scale my nginx containers (meaning - spawn new ones). Since the certificate is baked into the VM, it works seamlessly.

Unless the address in question was an Exchange deposit address. In that case hacker has purchased $30mm worth of Bitcoins in a matter of hours and moved them out immediately without needing to move Tether anywhere.
> without much justification.

Well, they've never proved it. Just a literal: "Hey, we promise we have the money."

So, can't really say; it's basically a Schrödinger's cat to everyone on the outside. We will only know when it booms — or busts.

This is not an attack for a random mistake. This is an attack for the core competence. Which is part of you, personally. So yeah, still feels justified.
Why are you singling out Bitcoin though? All cryptocurrencies are affected by this.
You're absolutely right. I'm not saying they're solvent. There just isn't any evidence that they aren't.
Exactly. Same multi-national garbage you allude to is routinely regurgitated on evening news in US, Canada, and Japan - all the same message typically (anti-freedom, anti-free speech, anti-health, pro-state, pro-military, pro-pharma). I've never been subjected to evening news from much elsewhere but I imagine the mainstream news of any 'colony' of the Queen and/or US empire tows the line much the same way.

But, you know - we're hackers so we are figuring out the solutions and working to implement them. For every meaningless social ego boosting app startup there is a real entrepreneur building something that will fight against this decadence and help civilization move forward into the brighter more prosperous era we deserve.
The root of the issue is human greed

I think the difference is that RT is literally registered as a foreign agent now, so everything they produce is actual propaganda in some form.

It doesn't mean that it is all fake news -- actually, the most dangerous articles are somewhat true but intentionally misleading or sensationalizing some component of a true story that helps Russia's cause.
The post I was responding to claimed Tether was specifically created to address Bitfinex's wire issues. That is false. It may be that they created it to address theoretical, speculative wire issues that they might someday encounter in the future, but there is no evidence to support that hypothesis. Secondly, there is plenty of reason to create something like Tether independently of any wire issues (specifically: to normalize prices between exchanges).

I agree it's not problematic by itself, but together with the other allegations (including plenty I haven't listed) and it starts to paint a picture that they do not have USD to back up every single one of their Tethers.
Interesting project, not clear on the model for commercialization if any. Here in China we are looking at seasonality as a potential differentiator for our own food offering - http://infinite-food.com/

I think there are a few challenges with offering this as a commercial service. Firstly, the data. You stated you have a USDA data feed, that's great but is going to come away limited by its sources and I'd hazard a guess is largely going to be picking up sources that are the larger and more established versus smaller, more organic/seasonal farmers.

Second, the idea of locality. Right now I am typing this in Hong Kong and I can tell you basically nothing is produced here. So the locality model is 100% out of the question for many high density urban centers (which increasingly are where most people in the world live, usually in Asia).

Another issue from a conceptual standpoint is the high distance a lot of food travels in the US. Because of this reason the locality model is going to break down and the majority of the more established, larger-scale retail operators are sourcing in bulk from reliable supplies at distance rather than nearby vendors. What good is telling someone there are great local vegetables if they can't find them to buy them? Also, a half-price shipment may just have arrived from Honduras or Mexico.

Finally there is the reality of hydroponics. A great deal of some crops (eg. tomatoes, leafy greens, all baby greens) are produced in artificial growth conditions which are generally not seasonal or have exceptionally extended seasons.

If I were you I would think about the matches between data sources, potential demand and commercialization and see if you can't get in to the distribution ecosystem somehow (eg. 'supply chain transparecy') in more innovative places like Detroit where (according to media) a lot of this sort of thing is breaking down right now and there are probably good options for partnerships and cheap scaling.

Lots of people are trying to apply blockchain to agtech but the value add seems weak to me. If you went at the same space with a centralized model and a significant, customer-driven value add (short term/last minute deals for restaurants as per the recently fast growing and relatively new segment of hotels/travel, etc.) I do think this could have legs. But it seems there's a long way to go in finding and validating a model.

One way to look at it would be to have price and/or consumption data as your value add, another would be deal making, another would be qualitative assessment and supply chain transparency (some form of auditing/tracking). Another perspective to look at it from would be the players: restaurateurs, caterers, individual consumers, supermarket chains, farmers markets, etc. Many startups (eg. last mile food delivery) have done well partnering with restaurateurs who ware always under pressure and looking for an edge and immediate cashflow. There's surely opportunities in there, find them!

Just my 2c.
