There is a Visual version of tinnitus that goes by the name Visual Snow[1].

I developed both at the same time. The visual snow was maddening and tinnitus is unpleasant. There is apparently a link between the two and seems both are mostly noise artifacts of the visual and auditory systems of the brain. It makes sense that these systems would have some innate noise in the signals.

Eventually I was desensitized to the new baseline noise levels. Kinda like Exit signs at movie theaters, You don't notice until someone points it out.

That means every day I'm a new customer and get $20 off my first ride of $22. One day, they'll wise up and stop making such silly deals.

The behavior described here is extremely selfish and amoral. It amounts to gaming the system. Additionally, the cost of exploiting a loophole such as this will be passed on to other customers before the company stops offering a losing deal. Those customers will not be reimbursed when the offer is rescinded.

The antisocial behavior of the company would not excuse the antisocial behavior of a user acting in this way.

“Are Traps Gay?” is a satirical debate within otaku and alt-right online communities, attempting to determine if being attracted to a crossdressing man is an indication of homosexuality. This debate is often discussed alongside the discussions of anime and futanari character design. On February 21st, 2015, Redditor NyaaFlame posted a thread entitled “Why Liking Traps Isn’t Gay” to the /r/anime subreddit. Later that year, on July 31st, 2015 YouTuber king rad uploaded a video in which alt-right leader Milo Yiannopoulos" “Is it gay to like traps?”[1] Yiannopoulos appears to be hearing the term for the first time. On August 10, 2015, he uploaded a video to YouTube entitled “Judge Milo Decides: Are Traps Gay?” The video receives more than 74,900 views.
Yes sort of. Basically I think people become hyper aware of it, then the hyper awareness may subside and perhaps come back later.
Not really true, there are legitimate use cases for bitcoin. E.g. Cross Border payments, settlement between untrusted parties in a low amount of time, Transaction Settlement Layer etc.

Not saying there aren't a lot of dodgy transactions going on, or that the legitimate use cases will take off, but ignoring the practical use cases is misleading.
Hold up. The US is not “facing war crimes charges in international courts.” That’s a very dangerous mischaracterization of what’s actually happening, and you can’t just type things like that.

A year ago, Bensouda made some noise and said her administration at ICC wanted to investigate Afghanistan. (They’ve been looking at it informally for eleven years. They’ve been investigating Darfur since 2005; how’s that going?) Now, she has made more noise and requested formal authorization to investigate. She doesn’t have it yet. This seems like a pedantic point but is actually extremely important, otherwise we could say President Trump is facing obstruction of justice charges. He isn’t. They’re looking for them, and they don’t exist yet. Big difference.

https://www.icc-cpi.int/Pages/item.aspx?name=171120-otp-stat...

It’s certainly possible, though I consider it extremely unlikely given the political situation and resources of ICC, that charges will surface in the future. That said, ICC does not charge nations. It charges individuals. Long ago, we had our own debate on this under Gonzales regarding the applicability of the Geneva Conventions to unlawful combatants, which is how multiple administrations (and nations) have considered detained terrorists. The Hague is late to the party.

Worth noting that Bensouda is looking to investigate the “Situation in Afghanistan” (that’s a quote) as a whole, lumped us in with the Taliban and Afghani forces, and hedged our alleged crimes to 2003-2004, a courtesy she did not extend to other parties. I think it’s safe to say we all know what that’s about.
For about two years I was the lone emacs user in a .NET shop where all the other developers used Visual Studio.

not OP, but yes.

most people that cite vi-vs-emacs diatribes these days have never actually even used "real" vi -

vim has just about all the "bloat" of emacs but without the real extensibility/programmability..

and just about any emacs session will likely be an order of magnitude smaller than any ide, while on the topic of bloat.

Good, it's important to judge a company of 10k people on one person's story. That's usually a great strategy.

I'm not defending uber, but this kind of attitude is exactly what got Trump elected. You can't generalize and demonize entities based on one person's view.
If you write a small pre-processor (simple to do) you can store your emacs configuration file in a markdown file - allowing you to document all the settings neatly.

As I was reading this piece I was imagining that is what the author had done, as it is what I did too:

I don't understand people in this thread defending Apple when AOSP is clearly more open. Yes, Apple has done well so far, but at the end of the day what are you going to trust? A talking head, or the actual code running on your device? It smells of rationalization for anyone to say that it would not be in Apple's interest to collect personal information.
Consumer services aren't really the point being made upthread, it's employers looking for supervised labor who can tolerate some spread in skills.

But you can do this too: call up the elite contractors who you can't schedule because they're "too busy" and give them a big number upfront. "I need my carpets replaced, I figure this will be $30k, does that sound right?". They'll be there.

But you have to do the work to know what the right wages are. Employers already know this stuff, obviously.
You can't say anything approaching positive about Trump. You will be down voted. The vehement supporters of freedom of speech doesn't support this. Well, the irony.
Genuine question: To what extent is it a second factor if you e.g. have both your password manager and your TOTP secrets on the same device?
Something about this is sitting right with me.

I know Joe (the ousted CISO). I’ve known him for almost 15 years, and worked with him professionally in the past.

This is not like him. He was the most ethical lawyer I ever met. Everything was by the book. He cares about privacy. He cares about users. He’s prosecuted the worst of the worst.

Something here isn’t right.
I wonder if he actually believes it's flat. It sounds to me like he might be just trying to get funding. These kinds of stunts are obviously his passion, but he repeatedly had trouble funding them. It's very convenient that his conversion just happened to get him the funding he spent years looking for. Playing the fool to fund his dream would be a clever marketing trick.

I have no evidence that he's not sincere, but I'm not convinced either.

Setting aside the flat Earth craziness, "amateur astronaut" is about the most badass hobby on the planet.
If you have the means to manage offshore funds, you'd want it in BTC so you can stash it somewhere outside China. If you're an ordinary Chinese dude, you'd want it in Yuan since that's the only thing you can spend.
If you like light on dark, why not turn on reader mode? It has a light on dark scheme.
If fact checking were a thing CNN wouldn't have been used as an example of "left-leaning" media. CNN is fairly mainstream, which isn't to say their reporting lately isn't garbage.

The reputable polar opposites are Fox News and MSNBC with everyone else somewhere in the middle. You can legitimately tell that someone listens to conservative media if they consider CNN left wing.

This is the general problem. You've got good, honest people who already have biases and the echo chamber is so loud if you're not vociferously fighting side X you're obviously side Y.

I highly agree that most news nowadays has become clickbait focused in an effort to both drive revenue and stir up loyalty by making people pick sides.

the online tutorial (not nearly so animated)

but that said, emacs practically is a video game.

I suggest developing a lisp habit, this will just about force you to learn some emacs and from there you will get over the learning curve.
Except that by definition his role is to serve the greater good of the population, not special interest groups. The FCC is a government agency, not a private corporation in which case your argument might apply. Their entire mission is provide reliable, fair, reasonably-priced access to all forms of communication, including broadband. Their own mission statement for broadband states "Regulatory policies must promote technological neutrality". How sadly corrupt our government must be if an entire agency can't fulfill its own basic mission because of ridiculous nonsense like this.
The fact that you're learning about design patterns, architecture, and even (ugh, ok they still have their value, but hardly) algorithms, means that you'll be a great asset to a company.

Don't undervalue yourself. Many devs I've encountered without any formal training have no interest in learning design patterns, good architecture, and (ugh) algorithms...but not only do you know that the value is in learning these concepts, you are actually taking the next step and learning them. If you steer the interview in a direction of design patterns and algorithms, and showcase that you have knowledge on it, you'll stand out.
Do you manually kill all browser processes? It's certainly plausible that there's a zombie process around so any singleton-thing that does cleanup on last process exit never got a chance to run.
And I'd encourage any hiring manager to ask some pointed questions of anybody who has Uber on their resume. Maybe they're a good or naive person who just happened to end up in a bad place. But maybe they're willing to turn a blind eye to discrimination, harassment, or lawbreaking.

If your password manager is your 2fa is that still 2fa?
ido-mode is pretty well known. ido-vertical-mode is less well known but very useful.
Why do you bother? If 1Password is generating your passwords, you're getting virtually no additional security from TOTP by having 1Password manage your TOTP secrets.
You’re going to need to take a step back and examine the situation before you apply any more of that reason.

AirBnb had to fight a very similar path and the only bad press I can remember about them was that tone deaf/ offensive political marketing campaign they had.
Pepe is an ancient 4chan meme too, but it has a very different specific meaning now.

If you think it was a witty remark and not unsolicited, you should consider going back to 4chan, where you'll find a lot more stuff like that which appeals to you, and where you won't be so inconveniently expected to treat other people with decency and respect.
eBay is a shadow of what it could have been, and so I really can’t compliment her on her tenure there. She was on a rocket ship and took it to the moon instead of to mars. HP on the other hand was as tough as a gig as Yahoo. I don’t know how you turn around a company like that. HP is a zombie company living off of its legacy.

My opinion is that information about you should belong to you. Other entities should not be allowed to keep or trade information about individuals without paying them directly.

200x Growth [DuckDuckGo]
I watched a documentary on Horseshoe Crabs recently where the researchers were clearly very attached to their specimens talking about their personalities like they were nephews/nieces. I think they are a more bizarre thing than a lobster, but I'd never before thought giant seabugs could be cute. They are definitely cute.

That said, I'll put a lobster in a pot without hesitation. I like to put a cigarette in their claws beforehand like a last smoke before a firing squad. I appreciate their sacrifice for my butter drenched enjoyment.
Minor tangent: I think your links into the curl repo may have rotted in the past 7 months, so they're not pointing at the lines you intended them to. For comments like this that are likely to be cited far in the future, I recommend using a link at a specific tree rather than just HEAD. So this:

https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/8aee8a6a2d/lib/vtls/vtls.c#L94

and not this:

https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/lib/vtls/vtls.c#L94

There are many things to consider when choosing a license. It is all very personal to what rights you want to grant and what risks you are willing to accept.

There is a nice tool I came across that can help you assess which license makes most sense for your open core free version. https://choosealicense.com/about/

As for commercial terms for the paid product, I would recommend seeking a legal resource to assist with those because you will want to make sure you are adequately protected. It is not as easy to simply copy someone else’s commercial terms because every product has differing risks, and every product owner has differing risk tolerances. A small investment in a legal resource upfront is significantly less expensive than hiring an attorney on the back end, once a problem arises.

There are other ways to prevent bricking. For that you don't need an updatable and extensible OS with Ring0-invisible access to network and hardware. And even if bricking were possible, so it is with many other computers, so what?

I have yet to hear a good reason for the ME that makes it possible to argue that it is not for backdooring of and having power over all x86 machines.
For me, feature switches make things easier because they decouple pushing out code from making a feature live. If you're working on a new feature, you put it behind a switch that both client and server check. If the client is ahead of the server (or vice versa) it doesn't matter.

You don't want a lot of half-baked stuff hanging around, so you should definitely limit WIP and be aggressive about removing switches once you're sure you won't be switching something off. Without that, it could indeed be nightmareish. But branching can also get nightmareish. Either way, the trick is to minimize complexity.
> The rest of it, like the XSS filter, is poorly-written misfeatures, or stuff that’s available in about:config.

NoScript classic has a lot of functionality that helps you keep sites usable when scripts are blocked, or to help you stay secure when you have to allow some scripts. Some of the latter features are protections that will occasionally get in the way of sites that are fucked up in non-malicious ways, but that doesn't make them misfeatures. In my experience, the only XSS filter false positive has been Wolfram Alpha, and I've only encountered the clickjacking protection with advertisements that are getting in the way of the content I'm trying to interact with.

Yes, this is the key issue, but it is broadly ignored.

In the old days you needed to walk into a bank with photo-ID and talk to a teller to open an account, let alone get credit.

The big banks have saved money by closing many branches.

These days, you can get a credit card online easily, no face-to-face interaction involved. Hackers pretending to be you can do it as easily.
She may be smart and a great communicator, but eBay was a rocket ship and is a shadow of what it could have been and there was no turn around story at HP.

Factors in deciding a startup vertical
What factors should I consider when deciding which niche/vertical would be optimal for me to explore for inefficiencies/ pain points/startup ideas?

I’d been flirting with the idea of beginning to search for inefficiencies to exploit in a few different markets that pique my interest.

I have no "ideas" as of yet, just a handful of "niches" I'm interested in and am beginning to learn more about.

If I want to optimize my chances of startup success (users, $$, etc.), which factors should I consider most important when choosing which niche would be best to explore at the most granular level?

So far, I'm hearing:

- Verticals I'm passionate about
- Verticals that are rapidly growing
- Verticals that require Subject Matter Expertise I possess.
- Verticals that are not attractive/sexy (ex. dating apps) and therefore are overlooked

... Though I'm sure there must be other factors to consider.

Are there (m)any other important factors to consider?

Certainly, for now and a while to come.
About 4 years ago I was listening to a podcast. One host was explaining to the other that he had tinnitus, and what that meant. I still remember how shocked I was when I heard the tinnitus host was in the minority of the population. Never knew what tinnitus was, but had assumed everyone heard a low buzzing noise. I always thought a low buzzing noise was what silence meant.
Yes, MotoG3 2015. Best phone I've had so far, all around. $200 is not exactly dirt cheap, but it comes out to $100 a year so far. There is no way an iPhone is going to last me 10 years to match that cost per unit time.

The pisser about it, is Motorola, like so many other companies, abandoned it for major updates. It does ostensibly still get major security updates, but...
I’ve been a daily vim user for the past 10 or so years and used it casually before that. Anytime I tried to use emacs I missed the modal aspects of vim and my wrists didn’t like the focus around ctrl in emacs.

I recently gave spacemacs a try and it’s been my daily editor for the past few months. There is a lot to learn, but spacemacs solves the main pain points I had with off the shelf emacs and I’ve found it to be very productive for me.
I'm sure Net Neutrality would protect the internet as well as the Patriot Act protects our national security.

Thanks but no thanks. I'm glad this is getting repealed. This stinks of a trojan horse for more government control of the internet that would ultimately lead to censorship. I'll take my chances with Comcast et. al. rather than hand things over to the mother of all monopolies we call the government, especially with the anti-free speech forces in play today.

The things Ajit Pai says [1] make much more sense to me than the hysteria coming from Net Neutrality proponents.

there is a published study showing that loud rock music cures type one diabetes in mice, along with 400-500 other therapies, none of which work in humans. There are two main vendors for these diabetic mice; for some reason, mice from one vendor develop diabetes at a different rate and certain kinds of studies work better in them. "Everything" cures cancer in mice. Skilled animal researchers can manipulate most mouse studies to skew results in their favor. But it is the best we have in many cases...
