> Railway mania was enormously profitable for Britain, although many railroad stockholders did not do as well.

You could say the same about the investors who funded the city-to-city fiber network in the US in the 1990s.

In both cases, the investors left us with a legacy of useful infrastructure.

I'm trying to figure out what legacy the cryptocurrency boom will leave us. Buildings full of rapidly obsolescing ASICs and GPUs in remote corners of the world?
The "authenticate" bit isn't really material here. GPG keys are, at their heart, just asymmetric private keys (most typically RSA these days, but there are plenty of other options). The authenticate/sign/certify bits are flags that client tools use to know which key to pick, they aren't enforced anywhere.

The reason your auth key is used for auth and signing key is used for signing is just because most GPG tools are helpful.

It's also worth noting that an ssh agent using agent forwarding exposes use of all the keys it knows about, not just the one used for the initial connection. So if you SSH to 1.2.3.4 with "-A", that host has the ability to poke your agent and ask for any keys it's got loaded up.

The "presumably they are smart" bit is also rather concerning. Being smart is generally not protection against mistakes. This isn't to say that gpg-agent allows malicious action, but we should start from a presumption that bugs exist, rather than just assume they don't.
Hey if you like stories like this, then you'd love my podcast. https://darknetdiaries.com.
I'm using a Thinkpad T430, at the moment. I can live with the chicklets, although the surface on these is a touch too slippery for me -- my fingers too easily find the edges of the keys, upon occasion.

However, the frustrating part is that some keys occasionally fail to register. Left shift being one of them; some of my ampersands turn into sevens (and, it just dropped the n in "into") -- particularly frustrating when I mean to background a command.

The "God we all miss them", "real" keyboard on my W520 does not exhibit this.

This T430 does have the backlit keyboard; I understand it's from the parts supplier (I forget which, offhand) that tends to have more "wobble" in their keys. That may be part of it.

People focus SO much on the internals of these machines. For fuck's sake, start by putting good keyboards and displays in them. I don't care how fast it runs, if it's a pain to use and its ergonomics slow me down.

I don't mind "cheaper", "thinner", "cooler" (style), whatever laptop designs. I DO mind the trend towards that being the only thing I can buy.

I don't have a T25, yet, but I may. And I hope there's a T26 or whatever they call it, and so on.

(And then, I'll dream about an open BIOS and a machine that is really mine, in terms of its computational functionality.)
In the EU they have to write these things upfront in big letters. I doubt this is legal..

You should file a complaint with you consumer protection agency.
And ask you bank to cancel the payment, just call it fraud.

I know, it's easy to feel like you were being stupid. But they are intentionally preying in you, it's not by accident, it's by design. That IMO makes it fraud, fight back.
Huge CES 2018 Turn Out – Wireless Charging Indicates Growth
I did interpret it as a solution proposal in order to address a specific issue: The effectiveness of voluntary activism to address shared-resource problems(specifically).

Of course people should do good things, but in some cases this can lead to a false sense of security ("I'm doing the Right Thing and spreading the good word. Next issue, please!")

Where I live, we used to have signs inside the buses that read "Wait until the buss has left the station to cross the road". This was an effort to prevent accidents, but had no measurable effect other than to take the problem of the agenda for public transport officials.

With shared resource-problems, voluntary action can lead to a prisoners dilemma, where you can get ahead by _not_ doing the right thing, even though everyone is individually better off by doing the right thing.
Everyone and everything dies in the end. It's fairly common among religions to presume that fate is inexorable and already written, with free-will being only an illusion working towards the predestined plan of god(s).
Also, having your resume as an example, these comments can probably be applied to others with similar questions.
Which is exactly the point of fire drills, to teach people to leave the building calmly.
North Korea is really the only viable country that we'd be hit by nuclear weapons from, and they have no way of "pummeling" NYC.
I guess you are American then right? I'm not sure how a life of private transportation would be possible otherwise...because that doesn't happen in the rest of the world.
You need to write a convincing and enthusiastic email (cover letter). Highlight things from your resume which are most relevant for that job. Do you have a github account? List it and push some code, anything you have, even exercises and toy projects. In your resume's experience section write in more detail about what exactly you did. Did you use redux with react? What TDD software or tools? Which parts did you actually code, the login page, the whole UI, or something else? What have you learned? Which Java framework did you use amd so on.
Sounds like 2 things are getting confused.

Think of Ethereum as a very slow decentralized computer. People make mistakes building applications all the time, but this doesn't necessarily mean the underlying language, or for a better comparison, the compiler is at fault. Problems with the underlying language can cause problems with applications, obviously. Programmer error =/= language/compiler error, while both can occur.

People have been talking about the Parity hack like it's Ethereum's fault. Imo that's as absurd as blaming C for your program crashing to your coding error.

Your post, while you are confusing two types of errors, isn't completely off. Solidity does need improving. Any language has to pick tradeoffs, and evolves over time as it becomes apparent what the system's needs are. But Ethereum and Solidity aren't to blame for most of the ETH-based apps that rushed to market without an appropriate level of QA and review, cut corners, made mistakes, and caused catastrophic problems for their users like the Parity bug... this should be ringing bells, folks.
Well done mate - you are the first person to mention this here. It was also only briefly mentioned in the article.

Yes, hibernation does work well and it requires swap. Personally, I set a swap partition equal to RAM + 512MB on systems that I want to hibernate on.

Linux also supports swap files and this might be handy:

If I'm in a car, I'd like to not brake-accelerate-brake-accelerate but rather move in a constant tempo. If I'm a pedestrian, I'd like a car-less safe environment to walk.
I have a keyboard that uses those. They're definitely not "silent".
How well does it work in a sunny day?
What was your favorite product at CES ?
These are great. Another thing my eye doctor suggested is to practice the 20-20-20 habit. Every 20 minutes, shift your gaze to something 20 ft away for 20 seconds. I'm usually able to feel my eyes releasing tension after about 15 seconds.
Do they? If they do business in the EU they are within reach, are they not?
wtf 3500 calories a day. are you a professional athlete? I'm a grown man and that many calories would have me take two pounds a week (assuming stability at 2500 cal and 3500 cals extra per pound)
I would argue mining is much lower risk but has much lower potential for reward.

After paying off the card (<=4 months of mining) all earnings from mining can be converted to USD for example on a monthly basis. The odds of even 1/10th of major coins switching to PoS in the near future is very low.

I completely agree that just owning coins has way more upside and I suspect you'll do very well! But I prefer the asymetrical mining returns - I have lots of upside and almost zero downside versus extreme upside and extreme downside (crash in coin prices, hacks, regulation, etc.) from owning coins. But to each their own!
Not surprising. Airbnb (and similar services) will lead to such abuse.
Probably like the rest of the world is a quite big place, you know. I wouldn't

"In no way am I a financial advisor or an expert in this field"

Yeah... No shit
> With tinkering, syrup scientists at Japan’s Hayashibara chemistry company finally figured out a novel enzymatic method to make it on the cheap from starch. The method brought costs down to just $3 per kilogram. By 2000—just before the rise of C. diff.—the company got approval from the US Food and Drug Administration to use it as an additive in food. Approval for use in Europe came the following year. Manufacturers started pouring trehalose into a variety of foods, from pasta to ground beef to ice creams.
Not missing. In paragraphs 5 and 6, the article explains how, just before c. diff infections started to get more common, a new method for producing it that dropped the price by over 99% was developed.
That simply means you are more likely to stick to the grocery list :)
Analyzing Minard's Visualization of Napoleon's 1812 March
I wish there was more evidence that they used them. Far too often their software seems to assume a superb connection.

Personal "favourite" is their Newsstand - it will ditch cached stories whilst out and about because it briefly got a connection on the Underground, only for the content to not download (precisely because you're on flakey Tube WiFi) and boom the best use case for that software is ruined!
Yes, but also relative? A dog has somewhat 15-20 years of lifetime.
Wow. nmap is not listed.
There used to be something called a "Californian stop" that was a partial stop rather than a full stop, but after living in LA for a year, I never saw it happen.
But I and many others are following them, to the fullest extent.

"Bitcoin" doesn't skirt these regulations, people do. I agree that it's a problem that some exchanges don't follow KYC laws, but it's not a law that they must report every person's earnings to the IRS. Coinbase is following all the required laws, and asking them to go above and beyond what is needed "or else" you won't get help is mafia level tactics. And I'd love for you to give me a list of exchanges that take USD and don't follow KYC laws (I'll save you some time, there aren't any with any significant amount of users, because they all get shut down).

And none of this has anything to do with Bitcoin, it has to do with Stellar. A cryptocurrency that is ironically very KYC friendly as you don't use multiple addresses, and all transactions are public. It's magnitudes easier to track Stellar than it ever would be cash. (Or do you feel the same way that someone that had cash robbed from their house shouldn't bother contacting police because they were skirting the law?)

Not to mention that tons of criminals use the internet, and there are a nearly unlimited number of illegal websites and "companies" which are doing bad things online.

Does that mean we shouldn't expect any kind of law to protect us on the internet?

Many car drivers routinely break traffic laws whole driving, does that mean that we shouldn't expect any kind of police help for car drivers?

You are assuming that some of the people here are breaking the law because unrelated companies aren't going above and beyond the required laws, then saying that none of the affected people should receive help because of it.
Failed? I'm laughing all the way to the bank. I've heard naysayers like you since 2012. Sour fucking grapes, mate.
You missed his point. Of course skiing isn't the only sport, but if you love skiing, why snowboard?

Of course meat isn't the only food, but it's delicious and a great source of protein. Sure antibiotics are bad for the system as a whole, but why not go after that instead of boycotting altogether?
Ah. Well, then I don't think we have anything to discuss; you're either introducing a non-sequitur, or you're shitting on someone who is taking personal responsibility for their actions.

And yes, a person who eats less meat eats less meat, which is another way to say that you're introducing a non-sequitur about something which is nothing like your bus example.
I was hoping to see some discussion about market-making bots or arbitrage bots, which I know for a fact can make money. Can these kinds of prediction bots actually beat random chance? I assumed price fluctuations mostly followed a random walk.
Live a story worth telling
1) Everybody in the hiring process knows that people are _super_ selective about who they choose to use as references. When checking them it's fantastically unusual to get anything less than a completely glowing almost certainly pre-arranged set of answers.

2) Everybody in the hiring process knows that candidates mostly cannot put their current manager and often even cow orkers down as references, due to the sensitivity/privacy of the job seeking process.

3) If you've made extraordinary claims in your resume or the interview - those will be checked probably both with your given references, and possibly with random ex-colleagues the recruiter or hiring manager will discover from LinkedIn, Googling you, or asking their own network of contacts to suggest names of people who might have worked with you. This is lots more relevant the more senior the role is - if you're going for a C level role, you should 100% expect board members to be reaching out several levels deep in their networks to find out more about you.

I'd suggest going for Senior SDE roles as your second job might trigger #3 there. While giving contact details for your direct reports will help - I'd consider checking your LinkedIn and social media profiles, and your top page or two of google search results, and ask yourself what the people revealed _there_ will say about you if a recruiter calls up...

(I've seen this from all sides: I've had recruiters cold-call me to ask about ex colleagues, I've had friends/acquaintances get in touch asking about people they're considering hiring and if I know them or know any of the people they've given as references, I've Google/LinkedIn stalked candidates I've considered hiring, and I've asked my network of friends/acquaintances if they know anything about people who've claimed to work with them or at places they work...)
> With the staggering drop in the cost of renewables and grid-battery storage I just don't see how nuclear has a bright future in any regard.

Exactly. Nuclear plants are done, at least for the next 50 years.

People don't want nuclear plants, whatever the reason. I can see the case for continued nuke research, but the negative PR and scare factor is pretty insurmountable.

The coal industry had decades to invest in technology to make clean coal happen, and decided margins were more important.

Fracking will be the next victim, as more communities start to ban it and understanding of the negatives grows.

Same with hydro, at least in the US. We're only starting to understand the long-term effects of large dams.

I know there are tradeoffs with solar and wind. The eco cost of solar isn't zero from a production standpoint. There are downsides to living directly under a wind turbine. But the decreased cost and increased adoption of solar and wind give me hope that we have a chance at staving off cataclysmic climate change.
No, I got his point.

Of the people who ski, some would be happy to substitute another winter sport if skiing became less desirable (more expensive or less fashionable). Some would substitute non-winter sports (e.g. go to the California coast instead of Tahoe.)

That's the 'substitute goods' that I mentioned.

If you really love skiing, you're still a part of that economic theory, you're just the inelastic part. You might still substitute something else if skiing became 10x more expensive.
`0 === false` is maybe the only thing that I actually hate about javascript. Mutability, I understand and thus can deal with it. Scope, no biggie. But resolving a number to false, when all other numbers resolve to true? Inexplicable.

EDIT: `!0`
I think one the most impactful parts of the regulation is getting your landlord's ok. God knows how many people were doing AirBnB knowing either their landlord would not be ok with it or their lease strictly forbidding it.
Unproductive, how?

Also, this isn't a javascript problem; this is a problem of trying to be too clever and not understanding implicit conversion, which happens in many languages.
I have 7 Google home minis, 2 Chromecast Audios, 3 Chromecasts. Everything has worked fine up until a month or so ago. I've been using Chromecast since its initial launch and have never had these issues until now.

Google severely broke something recently, that's for sure. We had a Christmas party and I gave up playing music because it kept dropping off every few minutes. It seems like it has improved the past few weeks, but still pretty shoddy.
US market here... Citi card. For many reasons, I loathe Citi and would like to drop using them, but I keep this card for this one feature.
No, antibiotics make animals like chickens and pigs (and humans) actually grow much faster and bigger.
I understand "optimally" to emphasize concision and clarity.

Profanity is either seeking to evoke an emotional response, or basically just "very" as DoreenMichelle says.

As such, profanity is semantically a really poor intensifier.

While a listener declares Crocker's rules in order to optimize communication by saying "I won't take offense," a speaker can optimize communication by clearly stating what is wrong, rather than just "This is !#$%&, you !$_&!"
The scary part is that it takes highly involved HackerNews readers to possibly understand what's happening. Most regular folk are going to just think, Wi-Fi got flaky again.
Good point on the 20-20-20 rule. There's an add-on for Firefox which I use for this below [1]. It launches a (rather invasive) fullscreen popup reminder every 20 minutes. Far from perfect, but better than using a loud timer or relying on your distracted brain!

Count me among the believers in running w/ swap. Here's all it takes to provide Linux with a little swap space:

fallocate -l 8G /swapfile
chmod 0600 /swapfile
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile

Add an entry in /etc/fstab & you're done. "This little trick" made all the difference on a compute cluster I managed, where each node contained 96G of RAM. It's much more pleasant to monitor swap usage than the OOMKiller and related kernel parameters.
The most significant points (that weren't discussed ad nauseam in previous discussions over the last few years) from the article:

"About 2,000 people listed their homes but never rented to tourists." The percentage is artificially skewed by the effects of eliminating stale listings, and the real effect attributable to regulation is less significant than the headline suggests.

"San Francisco charges a $250 registration fee plus a $90 business registration fee for all hosts." This is a scarier prospect for AirBnB and other companies. If $340 is really enough to scare off a significant percentage of people, how much are these hosts making?
Very few people on this thread read and understood the article. The point isn't working with data sets larger than RAM. The point is making better use of the RAM you do have by taking pages you'll almost never touch and spilling them to disk so that there's more room in RAM for pages you will touch.

Banning swap is like making self-storage companies illegal and forcing everyone to hold all possessions in their homes. Sure, you'd be able to get to grandma's half broken kitschy dog coaster that you can't bring yourself to throw away, but you'd also be harder to harder to fit and find your own stuff, the stuff you need all the time.

If you find yourself driving to and from the self storage place every day, you probably need a bigger home. But self storage is plenty useful even if you almost never visit it.
I love EU consumer protection efforts...

There are so many shady business practices, and I love it when the EU fights back :)
This isn't a javascript problem. They were trying to be too clever and test whether a value was set in the same statement where that value was used for a comparison.

The non-truthiness of 0 is something present in many languages.
Ah, I see how the wording can be confusing. I'll edit the post for clarification I'm not a contractor. I'm a full time SDE.

By "true" job, I meant to imply I've had short-term jobs, like SDE internships, during college. I suppose I could use references from those positions. However, I wouldn't want to as they were quite a while back and my personality and skillset and responsibility has grown substantially since then.

Anyways, my main concern was not including any sort of manager in my pool of references. Ideally, I'd just want to use current peers. They know me well and have a lot to say. I'm afraid anyone 5+ years back whom I only worked for 3 months would barely remember me.
"Also as far as i can tell "cha" is far more common than "char" in the British Isles."

No, it isn't. "Char" is always the spelling I have encountered here (in 47 years).
The most striking difference to me as an operator was that the Series 370 console was more than just the terminal/screen. You had switches and lights right out of a sci-fi movie, right down to rotary dials to set the address of the boot device.

With its successor, the 303x, the console was a glorified terminal. (My favorite command there was quiesce[0], where you could bring activity to an orderly freeze without ruining programs in process. I half-expected to hear it sing "Daisy, Daisy" in slowing decrescendo.)

A call to action on a public forum might not mean much on it's own, but it's still advertising the idea.
It's not super uncommon. I've done it before - mostly when in a contracting position. I've also had direct reports that trusted me enough to give me as a reference - mostly when I'd been encouraging them to jump into career advances that I'd been unable to provide for them where we were.

But yeah, it;s 100% understandable and acceptable to not want to give any current employer references. (Which is a bit tricky for the OP, who's only got relevant professional experience with their current employer...)
The trouble with this shit isn’t those commands that work, but those that don’t, and buggy packages in buggy distros.
Yes, Krypton also works over bluetooth (currently implemented on Mac and iOS/android).
Finite Field Arithmetic: Turbo Egyptians
This document was published in 1997. I know it's anecdotal, but I've always felt that staring at a cathode ray tube was decidedly more fatiguing than staring at a flat panel. Is it just me or is there some sense to this?
A big difference is that humans in concentration camps generally don’t get antibiotics, not for disease or for accelerated growth, and their bodies are generally not used as food.

Also, animals kept not in high concentrations have often been given antibiotics since the 50s. It’s not all about supporting concentration.

I understand that animals suffer in mass farming conditions—which is why I don’t buy mass produced meat or eggs or milk—but concentration camps are for people. You cans say animals are just like people, and I may even agree with you mostly, but to me and most people they’re not entirely like people. I understand if they are to you.
