> Over 20 schools and homes
> Homes I'm about 10 now
> Schools I'm at about 100

Is no one going to reference the typo in that admission?

Isn't it possible he meant to say 10 schools?
There's plenty of competently-written trash to choose from, though. Most of the better genre fic falls in that category, and there's no shortage of it.

Incidentally, I think it's fair to describe The Last Jedi's polarizing effect as having very different causes from something like RP1.
How does that help 1000 visitors to a blog read the blog easier? Not every site is an app, and the apps we do build we already have invested in VanillaJS framework. Do you think React will outlast the VanillaJS framework? (http://vanilla-js.com/)

(edit: this is partly a joke comment, fyi)
the concept seems cool but the creator doesn’t inspire much hope to me
Also C) what they propose would be illegal under the regulatory regime of at least one jurisdiction the bank operates in, and that’s the only reason the bank hasn’t already done it

could imagine someone from outside the industry identifying the problems they solve, purely from their customer perspective

That’s a fair point

Whole Foods is a high end grocery store and Target is a retail store?
> How qualified and experienced do I need to be in order to be able to legitimately and completely distrust the climate change 'experts'? Because I feel like I've earned that right.

Well, distrust of experts is the fuel that powers the anti-vaccination trend, the fluoride scare, etc. There are large hordes of soccer moms out there who feel the same as you do - that they are more qualified than the experts to make decisions on vaccination schedules.

But let's get back on the main topic. The answer to your question, of course, is - you are entitled to distrust experts when you are an expert yourself. Not a semi-dilettante, not someone who has dabbled in related fields, not someone who made coffee for the actual experts.
amazon is sears done right

sears should have been amazon
I understand what you're getting at but it's not that easy: it is not a clear-cut decision when it happens to your family.

Usually, old folks develop an ever growing list of aliments which add up over time, usually one serious medical crisis every few months to a year until their number is called.

Moreover, many of aliments of old folks aren't "terminal". You can't take your octogenarian mother to the hospice, for instance, because she broke a hip, had a stroke, got sepsis from a UTI, or suffered a venous ulcer that put her in a wheelchair (all those happened to my mother in a span of 2 years).

Also, "dementia" (not to be confused with Alzheimer's) is a side-effect of something else rather than a condition in itself. A simple infection is enough for an elderly person to develop dementia to the point where she does not know where she is. Even a pain-killer regimen requires careful management to keep the patient on a knife-edge between lucidity and la-la-land.

The group leaders were pushed things too far for me to accept as legitimate but not far enough to produce the results needed. We were aware of others that pushed things even further and they got to continue working. This adds a selection criteria bias to those still doing the research which has me trusting them even less. And this was before ClimateGate which made the shenanigans done by other groups public.

> Create a new single payer healthcare system that is completely separate from anything existing now.

We don't have to create some new system from scratch. Medicare already exists, and it's extremely efficient[0]. Medicare-for-everyone is arguably the best path forward to a national healthcare system.

How to think about running PostgreSQL on Kubernetes – a detail oriented view
I admire the authors optimism but this is just another wishy washy article that someone seems to to have thought up while sitting on the toilet.

Her main points are, while AI will put people out of jobs "big data" can help match people who lots jobs with all the unfilled positions we have (like picking fruits in a field or bathroom cleaning or something like that).

AI can help "tutor" our kids so teaching can be tailored to each child/person without lobbing us into classrooms with the same curriculum

and lastly, it will help distribute welfare services efficiently (or something)

Founders Fund: $3,000,000,000

Invested capital at risk: $20,000,000 (the 'hundreds of millions' is based on how much that investment has appreciated)

I think a more appropriate "first rule" would be don't freak out and over-analyze a risk that represents 1% of your portfolio.
Every little opportunity to murder someone that isn't patrolled by armed guards isn't a "vulnerability", for most sane people this is not something that would cross their minds. The solution for the few outliers isn't to live in underground concrete bunkers.

"Big box stores like Target are failing because their business model can't compete."

most retail sales are made at big box stores. amazon probably wants some of that, yeah?
> Given that our government has proven incapable of subsidizing healthcare in a way that promotes a combination of efficiency and effectiveness

Massive unsupported assertion. Medicare is very efficient.
I don't have to use the most popular framework, but that is a consideration, but if I am going to use something that is less popular and as foundational as a framework, it has to be either somewhat popular or from a company with a pedigree.

Nomad is nowhere near as popular as Kubernetes, but Consul has been around for awhile as has Hashicorp's dev ops tools (Vagrant, Packer, and Terraform) and are all reasonable popular. You can tell people for everything except Nomad - go watch a PluralSight video.
> This makes more sense than above, but MAC addresses can be spoofed or even just used as a proxy, so you would need to be careful that the information you're uniquely storing against the MAC address is intended to be unique. Most use cases that immediately springs to my mind wouldn't follow his unique rule but I'm sure there will some examples that do.

As one example, there was a bug in one version of CyanogenMOD that caused many phones to broadcast the same MAC, even when connected to Wifi. In some cases, this would cause different devices to kick each other off of a connection. See e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/help/2x-lg-g3...
I have hope that Bitcoin's scaling issues will be solved eventually, though as we've seen it's going to be a slow, arduous process to get consensus among the various factions.

If and when they are solved, the incredible hashing power of the network plus the massive amount of Bitcoin software and support should restore its reputation as the premier cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin was pretty balanced in the beginning, then money took over. Lets hope we can one day disentangle the technology from its potential for speculation.
I would really like to see a discussion how different police forces in different countries would handle this. My guess is that German police would first stay outside and look at the situation. I doubt they would go straight in. The American attitude of going straight in seems in line with high speed chases. I think in most countries these would be viewed as too dangerous.

Does anybody anything about strategies of different police forces?
why's that?
Wars on poverty often become wars on poor people. I was there when Clinton reduced max coverage to 2 years. It was a sentence of lifetime poverty for people who had no option, and that was strongly enhanced by the "human glue".
i want this just to see how the company cultures would clash...
Although few of the changes made to airport security since 9/11 would have hindered those terrorists. Theoretically the box cutters should have already been stopped by the X-Ray and that hasn't significantly changed. The only substantial difference is that now we lock the door to the cockpit, something we should have been doing since the 80s when airline hijackings were common.
I used to agree with that, but at the current price levels I would say that if this is the source of value, then it is absolutely and incredibly overvalued. In addition, the PoW is centralized (for the most part) within a few massive mining operations. A 51% attack isn't an impossible notion.

I know many would disagree with this, but while Bitcoin was the first of its kind, and it absolutely cleared the way for all the subsequent coins, its quickly becoming unusable. And that's not even considering the massive volatility of it. Such volatility implies that proper volumes aren't there to support its value. With that in mind, and also the notion of an aging technology, I think investing in it is not a good idea.
> criticizing climate change models within the scientific community was my job for over a year and a half

So you had a long and glorious career spanning more than 18 months, that makes you feel entitled to criticize those who studied the field for decades and are actually making a living therein.
Small claims doesn't get you anything if there's nothing to claim. Sure I could get chairs but I could also just go back to work and make the money back.
hmm, it is a war on poverty, not on the poor.
> ....and then they show me there vim/emacs editor containing like a thousand plugins - like this isn't bloated.

Why do you assume that the end result of adding "a thousand plugins" to VIm is bloat, or even becoming as bloated as Visual Studio? Have you ever compared the result in terms of memory footprint and responsiveness? I mean, vim packed with "a thousand plugins" can be easily used on a low end/ealry 2010's netbook while a vanilla installation of MSVS requires a beefy workstation just to run.
Stylist for the Stars 2 2018 PC Mac Game Full Free Download Highly Compressed
Interesting idea. You got pretty hand-wavey on your analysis. You didn't include advertising costs or whatever Amazon takes as a listing fee. What happened with the R&D and Licenses/Certifications costs in your final summation?
It was and is a reality for many people and was my very frustrating reality for quite a while. The concept of "client-side only" code that does anything more significant than animations (such as, say, modals) breaks down if you want deep linking, and deep linking requires full data reloading on every action, because how can you be sure the data is all there if you don't load it, and once you're reloading your entire state tree on every action you're already slower (not just in data transfer but in code execution) than the "traditional" client-server pattern, and if you have a UX team and any timeline pressure at all, you've already written yourself into several corners for UI bells and whistles, which unfortunately affect the server side as well now, not to mention being at least a major version out of date on several NPM libraries, and just another rewrite away from clean architecture, and so on...
Bamboo is sheer madness. Used it almost once an hour for 3 years and it felt like I was back to square one each time. I could never really learn the UI.
Which cryptos are you looking at that are better than bitcoin in dealing with the scaling and transaction cost issues? I'm watching BitShares pretty closely.
Obamacare complicated health care because it was designed to preserve the existing system of insurance companies, employer-provided insurance, and patchwork regulations. So, of course, it introduced more patchwork regulations, along with subsidies to the existing players.

A single-payer system (Canadian style) would greatly simplify the health care system, largely by cutting out the insurance-company layer for most people. A British NHS-style system would arguably be even simpler, but is even more of a political non-starter in the US.
I agree - have yet to see the benefit of using a framework that aren't at least 2 years. Never do client work using newly released frameworks (if that isn't specified as a must by the client). The result will come back to bite you sooner or later.

I like the idea of universal code, maybe Sapper will be the solution that comes out winning. I'll let the community be the judges and hop on the train a year later if that's the case.

5 Amazing Android Apps for Android Developers and Designers
This is definitely big. There are already tons of reputed investors from Silicon Valley and otherwise who started to invest heavily in Cryptocurrencies.

But bitcoin will end up being a just a store of value(like Gold) instead of an medium of exchange. What I also wonder is, apart from store of value and medium of exchange there's hardly any need for Cryptocurrencies. If two of them solve each of the above problems, why do we need 1000's of alt coins?
Costco would be almost 3 times the cost, using market cap as a basis.
Telegram shuts down channel calling for violent Iranian anti-government protests
Jesus, that is some money right there.

Always boggles my mind when something in the value of billions is compared to millions.

20 million is .6% of 3 billion. The math is simple and straightforward but the real world metaphor as applied to cash actually blows my mind.
I'll just leave this here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarium_Capital
IMO all war ever produces is more war. Nobody that's fighting the war on poverty, because if they win, they won't have a job. Terrorism, hunger, poverty, whatever, you name it, when we start a war against it you only make more.

As the police become more miltarized, using this militarization against itself is a very strange bug in the system.

The innocent people caught in the middle are living proof of the seriousness of the flaw.

Like in software though, this bug will likely be haphazardly fixed, rather then fixing the underlying problem: the militarization of our police force.
It's not as simple.

Some networks use other hashing methods, so just comparing hash to hash is pointless - if anything, you could compare instructions per second, not hashes per second.

Then, for certain hash methods, GPUs/FPGAs/ASICS give no speedup, so even if there are far fever instructions per second, they would be just as expensive to attack.

Also, there are POS/DPOS, and other proof of sth networks, where it's not really about hashes, but about other resources - again, cost of attack would be a better metric here, not hashes.

But most importantly - after a certain point, a network attack is so unlikely that additional security matters much less than other system properties, like speed, ability to execute smart contracts efficiently, or the ecosystem of startups around it.
I think pretty much everyone will agree that it's a problem. Where we disagree is your minimization of the role of the murderer.
> I would like to see this swatter executed

Swatting is an abhorrent practice but if a society does execute people (and I don't think that they ever should) you absolutely do not execute them for swatting.
I would say you are wrong. I have used both and the experience was always worse compared to that of competitors, despite their advantage of

a) deep hardware integration
b) deep platform integration (so much, that it feels like effort is required to not use the services).

I guess it depends on what your bar is for “better than terrible”, but when I look at the richest company in tech that also happens to own the entire stack in play, then “better than terrible” is not remotely good enough.
totally, for some reason my mind just goes towards the possible negative interpretation
From the perspective of the state, I believe that you are absolutely right.

However, the divergence of the interests of the state from those of the planet and its people are quickly becoming more visible.

My sense is that, in order to do away with warfare generally (and SWAT teams specifically), we'll need to deprecate the state in favor of more compassionate approaches to, inter alia, emergency response.
I would have escalated my complaints up the chain of command if HR didn’t take action. Sounds like someone was trying to scam company from within, and may have had assistance from someone in HR.

Fishing for Hackers 2 – Kubernetes Boogaloo
SWAT teams don't seem to take into account that this situation is highly confusing, especially for innocent people. Following orders may be difficult for most people. A while ago I got T-boned at an intersection. I wasn't injured but clearly very confused. When a cop asked for my driver's license I gave him my credit card several times and simply couldn't process what he was saying. I can imagine if guys with guns broke into my house at night screaming I would also not be able to behave correctly.
For the curious, the repo is here: https://github.com/clemahieu/raiblocks

Looking at the commit stats, it looks like almost all the work so far is by clemahieu. It'll be interesting to see if his codebase is solid enough to allow more contributors to easily hop in.

I thought their wiki page listing potential attacks was also pretty interesting: https://github.com/clemahieu/raiblocks/wiki/Attacks
This is a "3D display" in the same sense that a curved monitor is a "3D display" because it exists in three-dimensional space. The actual image being displayed is two-dimensional (ignoring the red-blue anaglyph gimmick).

I think it would be more accurate to just call this a transparent heads-up display.
Love the comments on here. I posted this article not because I agree with the article's take, but because I wanted to see what the HN community thinks of the article (and the topic). I haven't been disappointed!
Works on desktop just fine. For example Pentium G3258 integrated GPU forwarding fullhd over VGA rendered on ancient Nvidia 7900GS (old, but still 2-4x faster than integrated intel). Overhead was ~10-30% compared to direct monitor connection to nvidia card.
Bitcoin has about half the volatility of its cryptocurrency peers.
