I concur. Also regarding: ACPI, there often is an auxiliary microcontroller used to do power management and keyboard interfacing called "embedded controller" (sometimes there's also a mysterious ASIC, part numbers for them include Rohm BU77700KVT Toshiba TB62D515FG,TB62501F) that lives on some SMBus and with which the ACPI implementation, running on the main processor, talks with.
Well, they don't steal their clients' money through abuse of their own terms of service, so that's one thing. Mainly, though, it's because they have a fairly simple API, compared to PayPal, which makes their service easier to integrate into others.

I had the exact opposite reaction; I was wondering how in the world they could be functional with that amount of noise going into their minds. To each his own, of course, but I cannot fathom how they could possibly be consuming that amount of spoken word and still focusing on tasks at hand.
"umatrix" is terrific at exposing this kind of mischief, immediately upon your loading a new page -- as long as the logger has not been integrated into the main site's scripting.
Using a Fitbit here. I didn't buy it for the phone notifications but found it felt useful to focus. The real killer is not the calls but the other apps - email, shopping, Samsung.

How does taxing the rich matter ? The 0.1% on top you can't tax. Just won't work. And to boot, won't matter in the budget.

Then the 0.1% - 1% doesn't matter if you tax them, since they mostly (>50%) get money from taxpayers in the first place. I mean, I love the rightist "make money go round" argument, but what's the point. Obviously these people will simply demand more money from the government and judging by past performance doing that, they will succeed at this.

I don't know what the solution is, but outright increasing taxes will make the problem worse.
Yes, they can borrow against it.

In the crypto space the lending facilities are just getting started, SALT, the central bank of Mauritus and others will also provide fiat liquidity for cryptocurrency collateral.

The accident was acknowledged by Soviet news on April 28th, two days after it took place. While they were slow to provide details there was no public denial - they initially denied anything was wrong in response to private inquiries by Swedish diplomats since elevated radiation levels were measured in Sweden. This is an ABC news report from the time which also shows the Soviet announcement.

They spent their resources on the military because the whole capitalist world wanted to crush them. If they hadn't armed themselves to the teeth the western armies would have rolled right through after the end of WWII and later.

I don't know anything from painting and never thought about painting or buying paintings so I don't really have any context. Is the main antagonism against this phenomenon that:

a- It's not local?
b- It's not one of a kind / unique?
c- It's of lower artistic production quality?
d- There's deceit?

From my rough uncultured perspective, if I ever somehow thought I wanted to decorate my home and went out to buy something, only (c) has any real meaning I'd think.

In other words, is it ok if I'm eating a banana from somewhere that can grow banana en masse rather than a banana grown in my backyard?

If not, are people mainly objecting to the fact that the mass produced bananas are inferior (and this is true more often than not) or is it because of other reasons.
For what it's worth, shortly after the ICO Vitalik told me he owned less than 2% of ETH. There were more hands in that pie than people realize.
Got it, thanks. Wow, that is an aggressive approach. IMO watching the players get back in formation, etc. is at least a little bit interesting in part because watching that process helps you predict what is going to happen after the snap.
There are full fledged wall street trade desks that handle buys and sells in large amounts using same day wires, they would get ethereum and he would get USD, and "the market" would never know.

1.1 billion would take a few days, but it would be shopped around to other firms that want to buy that much without moving the market.

eh same as any asset class really.
The cheap fix would be to drop some Jersey barriers and shut off the exit altogether. Looking at the highway configuration in the area (particularly the fact that I-670 is just a few blocks to the south and has equal access to the area), the traffic implications of closing off the exit wouldn't be too bad. Particularly since people driving too fast is a sign that the utilization is low enough that people can drive too fast.

Loans against their stock, the company selling bonds. But after cryptocurrency enters the traditional financial system (eg ETH futures), I'm sure he will be able to get loans against it without a problem.
The FCC loosened media ownership rules (a complete ban on owning a newspaper and TV/radio station in the same market) that have no counterpart in most EU countries. The DOJ sued to block a merger that would get intense antitrust scrutiny in most EU countries. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.
Absolutely... market depth wouldn’t come close to supporting selling that much ETH without dropping the price. Markets would also react quickly on the news that the balances in his wallets were changing significantly.

Saying he isn’t a billionaire because of that is sort of a double standard though. Most billionaires don’t have billions in liquid cash, they almost all have illiquid property, stocks, bonds, etc. Selling off some of these assets would cause a very similar effect, and often they can’t easily be sold at all.
> The required number of schools days has decreased, but the required number of instructional hours has remained the same.

That doesn't really help someone who is expected to work 5 days a week.

> Blaming a short week on Republicans is just silly.

Why? Gov. Brownback, a Republican, instituted the tax cuts which created the budget shortfall that prevented the state government from properly funding schools.

"Kansas enacted sweeping cuts to income taxes in 2012 and 2013 championed by Gov. Sam Brownback that have reduced the amount of available resources to comply with a court order. Lawmakers could be forced to reconsider the tax measures, which Kansas and other Republican-run states have pushed as a means to stimulate their economies." [1]

They didn't reconsider those tax measures, and instead doubled down on them, making things worse.

"Wichita, which serves more than 51,000 students, is facing cost increases of about $23 million next year with no increase in state funding." [2]

And then 4-day schools became a thing. You're right that Kansas is highly ranked, but we'll see how long that lasts as teachers continue to flee the state [3]. California and other blue states have education problems, but let's be clear: Kansas' problems seem to directly stem from Republican governance in the state.

Also, you rip on California a bunch in your post, but let's remember, California has twice as many students (lower ed.) as the entire population of Kansas (6M vs 3M). California has its own problems, but I think those problems are very different than those faced in Kansas (maybe not in kind, but definitely in degree).

I still don't see your point or what this has to do with founders not being justified in spending their wealth. What is the "startup model"? Corporations and equity have been around for a long time, there's nothing special about silicon valley other than some cultural differences.

How do you know what my personal take is? Was that meant to be an ad hominem slight? I'm stating that "get rich together" isn't some formal or even commonly accepted concept of any business (for anyone not a founder). Equity is a common way to share wealth and motivation but that has nothing to do with the founders being owners and owners gaining wealth through their ownership - but that makes me greedy because you think that owners shouldn't spend their money because someone somewhere (in the same company) doesn't have as much?

You can have exactly what you want by starting a company and giving everyone (including employees and investors) equal shares so why not do that?
Why on earth is it only a third? What value do the other providers offer? (other than EV I mean, but most uses don't require that).
It requires an Enterprise Support Agreement to ask that kind of questions to the IIS / Azure Web App product team and I do not have that.

That may have been what they said to the Western media. It does not necessarily match what they said to their own government run TV channels and newspapers.
i fully support mindfulness and meditation as tools with real potential benefit, but the literature on clinical effectiveness leaves a lot to be desired. see a good overview of this issue here by one of the leaders in mindfulness research: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26436311

overall, the body of literature on therapeutic benefits of mindfulness to date does not refute the hypothesis that mindfulness is "pseudoscience" (though it doesn't confirm this hypothesis either). there has been a surge in publications related to therapeutic applications of mindfulness in recent years, and nearly all of them are small, single-center, uncontrolled studies. as far as i know, there has only been one large, well designed randomized controlled clinical study of mindfulness based interventions (don't recall the paper, but it is in the grossman et al 2003 meta analysis), but that study did not include a positive control. a more recent study (similar in size and design, but including a positive control), failed to show a therapeutic benefit for mindfulness based intervention vs the control (study is jmg williams et al 2014 in journal of consulting and clinical psychiatry). so there are two high quality studies on clinical benefits of mindfulness interventions, one is positive and one is not

with respect to the less well designed (and more numerous) recently published clinical studies of mindfulness, the results are almost always positive. with small poorly controlled studies, this is always a red flag. one of the markers of "science" vs "pseudoscience" is the definition of the limitations of an intervention. if something seems too good to be true, it probably is

dont mean to rant or be a wet blanket. i personally believe mindfulness has great clinical potential, but to convince the medical community (and payers) of this, the field needs to focus on quality vs quantity of evidence
If all you need is basic domain validation, which is the case for pretty much any site that just wants encryption and doesn't need real identity validation, Let's Encrypt is good enough. Add their tools for quickly generating and updating certs (so long as you're not using IIS) and it's no surprise that they're leading now.
We should all be working a four-day week. Here’s why
Because some people/businesses are afraid of free things, and others would prefer to not have their certs rotate every 90 days (even if it's done automatically).
Maybe because they use time skew to correct for leap seconds and don't want everybody to get it for free?

Let's Encrypt doesn't directly produce any client software. ACME clients are built by our community and the community builds what they feel like building. If something hasn't been done yet, or isn't where you want it to be, that reflects community priorities, not our politics.

We'd love to work more closely with Microsoft. We've been talking with Microsoft and various Microsoft community members about building great support for IIS since before Let's Encrypt launched.
> I plan ....

I would recommend you to write these plans in a notebook (real notebook with pen/pencil). Write all of your plans, whenever you plan.
The problem with software solutions is that once you reschedule, its history is lost.

I have such a book which has now almost run out of pages. Once a week I read them. Most of them are not yet done. But it makes me feel good, and helps me prioritize better than software solutions.

I (almost) met Patrick Collison at a conference a month ago where he gave a talk. He seemed extremely smart and interesting and I had no idea he was rich and famous. So after he gives his talk, I stand in line to get his phone number to see if we could meet up sometime so that I could pick his brain. While I was in line to talk to him, I mentioned to the guy next to me "Man that guy sure is interesting", and he said "Yeah, most billionaires are pretty smart".

I was floored that Patrick was a billionaire, and then got super nervous and exited the line.
Not talking about the government, I am aware of that, talking about the culture and values.
Agreed. Paying someone money for a bag of random bits is criminal.
Note also this was very close to May holidays (May 1st etc.) when people customary go out, with kids, some go camping, etc. Kiev - a city with population over 2 millions - is 90 km from Chernobyl, and nobody there knew what's going on for a while. I'm not even sure there's any statistics of what health effects this produced. And of course when it was known there was no proper information on dealing with radioactive contaminations, mostly everybody would go by wildest rumors and home remedies. No tools for measuring radioactivity either anywhere to be bought, people made their own eventually. Etc., etc.
Oh gosh those are the worst. And they never look good on your phone, so you have to get your laptop out (or tablet if you have one).

If it's not a pointless blog/article header, then the ingredients and method are split up across "tabs". So that now, when it says "melt the butter and whisk in half the flour", you need to flick back and forward multiple times for each step to remember what to do and how much to add.
Not trying to start a Slashdot-class flame war or anything, but why are you on a platform that is so... belligerent to being on a network? Microsoft has been dead to me in the datacenter for at least ten years, for reasons far beyond the peanut-gallery "hur hur M$ $ucks!" There's oodles of options, many of which are far simpler to manage than a Microsoft stack, with commercial support available. I'm genuinely curious, what's keeping you there?
OTC markets would probably price his assets at a much lower value than current trade price because of the volume and reaction from the markets. Public would know because the only way to safely trade ETH without letting Vitalk continue to have access is via a transaction, which is publicly accessible. I don’t know if his wallet addresses are publicly known, but a $3.5 billion transfer wouldn’t go unnoticed. Markets would almost certainly react negatively to him liquidating.

That said OTC price of everything could still be over $1 billion.
It starts bearing the question though: Is one CA being over a third of the market a good thing?

"It requires an Enterprise Support Agreement to ask that kind of questions to the IIS / Azure Web App product team and I do not have that."

Sounds like you're running the wrong web server for your needs, then. Every OSS web server has several methods for getting LE certificates implemented mostly by volunteers (my company implemented it in Virtualmin, both the OSS projects and commercial products, within a couple days of it being available, maybe even during the beta I don't recall exactly, and we're just a couple of developers), and you don't have to have an enterprise contract to make suggestions.

Hi HN, I built form.ac because I hate filling in paper forms (especially if I'm expected to scan and email them somewhere) also it is the basis of a service we provide concrete companies.

The key differences between form.ac and all the other pdf filling solutions out there are:
You can photo and fill a paper form;
I've focused on speed of filling - no frills just the tools to get the job done;
It works well on tablets (not so good on phones);
You can add photos, draw on forms and sign forms with your own signature.

I'm really looking forward to your comments - good and bad. Thanks!
The biggest shocker is anyone actually believes in "free will" anymore. Although, the desire to limit a particular stimuli's influence over our actions seems valid.

In a way, the hyperbolic title seems to be an prime example of its own thesis..
It's not about where people want to work, but what is the atmosphere and the vision. All the "straight white males" moved to the silicon valley and created the tech revolution. Infrastructure was left to second rate governmental entities with their quotas and affirmative actions which led to Detroitisation of America.
Hexiwear: IOT and Wearables Development Platform
No this model is dead. They pay $x0/month for unlimited everything (with X gigs of high speed data) and then another $20 or $30 a month for the equipment lease or installment plan. The 2 year contract is dead, and we got something worse to replace it.
I recently have been working on moving a chunk of our infrastructure to a fully automated deployment. It consists of several micro services on various subdomains within 3 top level domains.

For the dev and staging environments, I used a sub-domain prefix: app1.staging.example.com, downloads.staging.examplecdn.com, etc. There's a script that looks through the deployed systems in it's environment and configures the proxy server appropriately -- including running certbot if needed to get certificates.

I used let's encrypt initially so we could actually test real SSL without the hassle of new certificates, especially when we wanted to deploy a new environment. It worked so well we just left it in when we deployed to production.

The cost of certificates is nothing compared to the effort to get someone to put it on the company card, renew it (and answer questions about what it is a year from now, yes we still need it), manage the private key, etc. Let's Encrypt is better in every way.

More stringent validation methods won't help with the ever-present possibility of private key compromise. So long as that's a real possibility and revocation is broken (which it clearly is), longer certificate lifetimes are a liability. Renewal needs to be automated so you don't care how often you have to renew.

Let's Encrypt will sign your ECC keys now, but we'll sign with our RSA keys. We'll likely have our own ECC trust chain some time next year.
For anyone interested in diving deeper into this topic, I highly recommend the book "The World Beyond Your Head: On Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction" by Matthew Crawford.

Has anyone demonstrated that charter schools actually have better processes? Last time I read up on this, it was a pretty hotly debated topic. If I recall correctly, the big anti-charter argument was that charter schools' improved outcomes were almost entirely explained by some combination of more school days, higher funding, and increased ability to kick out problematic students (e.g. no requirements to handle remedial or special education students, expedited expulsion processes because students are only being "expelled" back to the regular school, etc.).
