It's cut out from something bigger... I just thought the css grid part was interesting. Wanted to share if anyone else found it helpful (similar problem, idea starter, etc). It's not meant to be anything more than what it is.

I am new to react, so if you had any pointers to make my code less terrible, I'd honestly appreciate the pro-tips.

Thanks (to everyone) for checking out the link.
My gut tells me the job market is worst for junior devs in SoCal. Junior level openings aren't growing nearly as fast as the number of students trying to break into the workforce. A total of 0 of my friends at USC who were CS grads stayed in LA.
I always assumed DRM would eventually factor into this. I’ve only ever read about it in the context of media, but I’m assuming there’s ways to use it creatively for fingerprinting and blocking scraping as well. Do you have any links with insights into that?
Sorry about that. Put it back in the post under the list.
I wonder, what is the realistic chance of being caught and penalized for doing this anyway? Maybe it’d be worth it; maybe some folks are already doing this.
This again? It's eerily similar to https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/7452324 (sorry for the mobile link). Only one other comment mentions the bug from 2015 that surprise, crashes the phone in the same way. It looks like this person just worked around the patch to cause it again.
No idea, maybe dang could undupe it? It also fell from the frontpage due to the tag.
Yes. The idea here is to make you dependent on OCR (you also have to find where is the information as the page design changes) and to waste a lot of your server resources making it very costly to scrape.
I have been badly taught Java at university (not sure if the course sucked, or I did, but I am a blunder) and have just found myself drawn into the JS world. I really enjoy the concepts of OO, but I feel like my knowledge is very shallow.

Is it good if I rebuild my foundation on JS? I feel like JS is a bit, uh, messy.
You hit fun new issues like - how do you transfer assets when somebody is dead? No private keys, no hope.
Personal anecdote, but I wonder if my experience as a junior officer in the Navy helped with this. The last comments in the piece are that intelligent leaders should 1) seek creative metaphors and 2) speak charismatically. Coming to the fleet from a bachelor's in physics, I knew I was reasonably intelligent, but also that there were some people much smarter than me (at least my battered ego assured me of that).

So, walking aboard a frigate with sort of an academic's self-awareness and certainty that the world is an uncertain place, I had to lead a division of sailors who would do things that just left me dumbfounded. "Why would you attempt to drive through the closed base gate?" "Why would you test the 440V circuit with your fingers?" "Why would you go in the engine room without hearing protection?" "Do you realize you installed all the valves backward?" "Where did you meet this woman? No, she can't come on the ship!"

Then you have to get these folks to do work. They're not lazy, but trying motivate them with the bigger picture could be challenging. Metaphor came to hand more and more. And you sort of settle in. You're not intellectually challenged, and repetition and comfort bring confidence, which makes charismatic patterns of speech easier.

When I went to grad school, I found myself using these same patterns of speech to get things done. And I still do. It's always poor form to toot your own horn, but the last few years, I have to say, I've realized more and more, having a hard science degree and early leadership experience are an extremely valuable combination. I have no idea how I'd be doing what I do now without that.
I once worked at a company where the dress code required collared shirts, but the dress code stated that any company-branded items were exempt from the policy. The company had branded T-shirts to give to customers as loyalty rewards/promo items, so we bunch of us pooled together on a batch order. Cost about $2 a shirt and was dress code compliant, which was great for those of us who commuted by motorcycle!
I can deny that Google doing something that happens to serve its specific interests, and that Google may without gainsay or penalty discontinue doing at any instant it should so please, qualifies as a common good. I can deny that all day!

JS is run within c/c++ js engine that can be modified to return you whatever fake results. You can't prevent that. As always, any lock is cheaper to defeat than create.
Which is sad, and shows the reality of climate change.

In Joburg we've had a few "100 year" floods in a year, so much water pouring down that we're forgetting that we had a drought last year.

I’m going to ask for your source. Not because I doubt you, but because I wonder what other interesting depreciations exist. I never knew a fence had a 5 year tax lifetime.
(I'm very much no expert) Thanks. So it seems you don't read that particular quote as endorsing unregulated markets in the face of state interference. It sounded like you did, thus my surprise.

Also, people in the 18th C from the same trade having a meeting, is so far from what we imagine by "unregulated markets" that..well, two things could scarcely be more different.

edit: Oh, you added your snarky first sentence. That's not an improvement.
Even if, for some reason, the flagship OS isn't polished enough on launch, there are other OS options that are. I'd argue that, from what I've seen, Ubuntu Touch is already good enough, and thanks to the UBports team it's still under development.
it's an entirely pointless arms race, where the scraper always wins, because web browsers are just a piece of software saying the right things at the right time over TCP.
The only deterrent to scraping is the cost of running a web browser to interact using a real javascript stack, so for some really lame spammy uses of scrapers (the most common) headless browsers are often not cost effective.
Your comment is ignorant of both the past and future trajectories of the voting populations for both Texas and North Carolina. NC has only become "far right" since 2010. Prior to that it's legislature was controlled by democrats since 1990. Increases in hispanic and latino populations within Texas could turn it blue within the next 20 years.

It is very short sighted thinking to think this won't change.
Yeah I doubt this is anything novel in the purely mathematical realm. It sounds like what's patented is a practical design for doing this on a chip.

Not sure if you were taught a different method, but I envision this being similar to counting "significant digits" in scientific notation, and it sounds like that's very similar to the approach he took. I wonder if that explains there statements about tracking to the last "digit". They obviously can't do that for irrational number, so maybe they mean the last "significant" digit as far as the underlying floating point implementation is concerned.
Even prominent libertarian economists like Russ Roberts are in favor of some regulation. There are definitely those with more radical positions, but rarely very mainstream.
I'm just glad the Bay Area isn't on that list.
Yes, there are kids who will make it and kids who won't. Our current system throws out whole neighborhoods of kids regardless of where they fall on that spectrum.

The thing about real estate on that scale is, to not get ripped off you have to time it carefully.

It probably would cost amazon less to buy 10 potential properties and resell 9 of them, than to announce their intentions and then attempt to buy their chosen property.

In Atlanta, we already learned that lesson by announcing the BeltLine (mixed use alternative transit development corridor around the city) before acquiring any of the land. A decade later, after court battles involving the city purchasing land via the Board of Education in order to prevent further price gouging, we still don't have all the land needed, and only ~10% of the project is completed.

The desal plants need to be kept running (at least ticking over), otherwise it deteriorates to the point where large parts need to be replaced/fixed again where needed, afaik.

I may be wrong that the Gold Coast one is mothballed, but there were also issues about how it was funded, which means it's facing funding problems now when the drought is gone.
GP said, "cannot function." How did cellphones work before they came with GPS?
It's presented as "This is a non-zero net job thing!" without questioning it. This is a problem. Are the taxpayers squandering say $20 million for creating a minimum wage part-time, 2 week gig? Well let's not limit the opportunity here! Let's waste those 20 million dollars! We're just losing 99.9985% of our principle. What a great investment!

A bad policy fundamentally limits the number of jobs in the long run because by then you've already spent the money poorly, in a way that didn't lead to many jobs at all.

If you could "create X jobs" one way and that would lead to "X*3" jobs later on, wouldn't you want that instead of something that creates "X/4 jobs" in a temporary environment and leads to "create 0 jobs" later on?

If that's the only thing you care about; not the environment, type of job, structure of the work, sustainability of the practice, actual pay, health, culture, well-being of society, if it's only the total quantity of jobs, then it's still a wasteful squandering of resources because you can get "more created jobs" for less money many other ways.

We have to do better than just saying "ok" to every bad deal that comes along.
I found this project the other day after doing a deep dive into the 0x project. This is a cool project and I am impressed with the level of thought and detail gone into planning this protocol. I have a question about governance. The 0x project essentially plans to set up a DAO that will promote/depricate old/new versions of their protocol, and stakeholders will have a say using the 0x protocol token. How do you plan to implement governance? Through some sort of token model similar to 0x? Thanks!
How did they establish that leaders with iq over 120 are not objectively worse, not just in the eyes of their followers?

I think it's common intuition that you need some degree of stupidity to sometimes make a prompt decision when more intelligent person would rather wait for more data to make better (but possibly harmfully late decission).

If there's a yes or no decission to be made you already have 50% chance of success as a leader even if you are no smarter than a cointoss. Smart leader might take too long to try to improve the odds or to verify that you can't improve them. Slightly dumber leader can decide faster "it's too hard, let's go with my gut feeling".

Maybe 120 is perfect for recognizing that often more thinking doesn't matter but at the same time recognizing instances when thinking pays off.
Ya, I don't mean in private conversations. In corporate media.
Similarly (and also featured in a Hofstadter book), there's the short story "The Riddle of the Universe and Its Solution" by Christopher Cherniak. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Riddle_of_the_Universe_and...

I don't think anyone ever intended for text rendering to be a "sufficiently powerful formal system" like second-order logic, number theory, or like Hofstadter says the human brain is. I would hope that, in the absence of bugs, rendering text X on computer system Y would be a plain old computable function.

All You Need to Know about Google Speed Update: Mobile Speed as a Ranking Signal
For example, in San Francisco the bus costs $2.50 to $2.75 depending on how you pay. If two people want to go somewhere, thats at least $5.

Instead I can get door to door service with Lyft for between $3.90 and $4.10 for the first person and an additional $0.90 for the second person. This means I typically come out slightly ahead with Lyft with two people and its way more convenient.

Its great... for now. Who knows how long it will last at these prices?

Very fair point, although I didn't imply that it might break this year. Whenever it breaks though, I hope the usage remains low, just in case such an event reccurs.
This is a neat solution, but why is OVMF required (according to the guide)?
That test actually wouldn't work:

> navigator.webdriver
true
> Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(navigator, 'webdriver')
undefined

As you say though, it's a cat and mouse game and you could always override the behavior of getOwnPropertyDescriptor() if it were used in a test.

Back when i was majoring in ECE at UIUC, we got to play around with Fab labs :). Yeah you'd pretty much need a advanced degree in EE or Physics to be a semi-conductor engineer I'd reckon.
> Not wrong, per se, but a super-technical HN reader was not the target of Dropbox, and I feel like it's the same situation here.

Even for highly technical users, "pay someone else to do something trivial for me, because they do it well" is still a huge draw.
AS an entry level description, it's enough.
Silicon Valley doesn't oppress the underclass, what a load of melodramatic nonsense. Most Silicon Valley companies have nothing to do with the underclass, and when they do it's usually in the form of making things like movies, TV shows and music more affordable (think Spotify and Netflix among others).

Harsh words; but very true that the developers don't realize the chromium is open-source.. maybe they should just jump to the new drm extension, atleast that will challenge the dedicated scrapers.

Bribes aren't de facto dishonest — their existence is, but using the only system available to e.g. get out of Germany isn't — and the type of person who falls for Nigerian 419 scams likely doesn't think the whole thing through.
Thanks, that was a really interesting read!
enough of what?
You think small governments (states, or cities being 'small') having autonomy over how they tax themselves is a bad thing?

There are more than two situations, or you're over-simplifying the effect of a massive company like Amazon moving to a city.

A 'tax cut' does not mean they are contributing $0 to the local economy. I would guess (I'm not a city planner or anything like that) the overall economic impact of such a move vastly offsets any tax breaks offered (even if that means there are less taxes being given directly to those governing bodies).
I wonder how many people spouting the greatness of this urban lifestyle rent as compared to own their homes.
There is a ton of money being spent on vehicle infrastructure as well. People complain about empty buses, but we must consider that cars with a single occupant are only operating at 20%-25% capacity. Also think about all the land zoning for large backyards, and how often they are void of kids or people. Shared community parks and trails are probably a better use of space.

The minimum education level for the group I work in is a STEM bachelor's degree. The mode is probably a STEM masters with 5-10 years of experience. And, within the "small" group, everyone is a STEM PhD, MD, or both. We use a lot of metaphors, partially because some of the stuff we're talking about doesn't have a name yet, and we are still trying to figure out what the important properties are.
iPhones and Apple have demonstrated that privacy is a top concern for their users.

Google and their Pixel devices, not so much.
This is pretty broad criticism, but you are at least right that there is no sound principle on which to protect a website from "automated" interaction.
Our time based windowing has been implemented yet, so the answer would be: not at this time. It is however on our roadmap.
Do any of them implement the full standard game, including mob AI, the Nether, and the End? It seems like most of them are targeting the easy creative/peaceful mode subset. I'm just a sucker for the full standard game.
I think the point being made is that a once-off amount for the hardware might be way less than what they get to make over those 2 years that you use the device (at least in aggregate as not everyone will buy a Pixel)
Yeah I think ultimately NYC still has the most usable transit network. I am not sure the details of the award without searching but they had it plastered up inside the buses when I was there. It probably gets good user ratings because its been improving as opposed to NYC which is overwhelmed with riders and maintenance. I did notice Denver had a lot of buses compared to most places in America, but it is still a car culture after all.
You should just confine yourself to whatever built before 70-s.

After that you have huge cities' outskirts packed with 9 to 17 storey apartment buildings with some greens between them, but no other amenities. Everything is far apart and (these days) packed with cars. There's public transport but roads are wide and far between, so going to bus stop is painful. A lot of cold winds too.

More central districts with ~5 story buildings are ok. Guess what, they're going to bulldoze those in Moscow, replace with aforementioned.
Before/after comparison with nearest neighbour “interpolation”. Lol!
Well, 1-2% gdp growth is not real if you are a Chinese and see through your own eyes. Every year I feel people around me spend way more and buy way more than last year, even in small cities. China is a bit weird that I have to say there are many aspects that you cannot understand from books or "experts".

Actually we also don't really care the faked data. If you can feel the growth, it should be fine. US's economy growth rate is 2~3% and I can barely feel it, it's nowhere close to the rapid growth I felt in China.

hmm, for middle class numbers and ability to spend, check iphone/galaxy S sale numbers.

Edit: I would really recommend you visiting China and I can guarantee you can see something interesting there.
I knew there was no NEO version, but I hadn't realised they'd stopped selling the CEO (given, AFAIK, they're still taking CEO orders for the other family members).
Choosing a believable alteration is just as important as detecting a browser. For price scrapping even 3% changes to prices can do a lot of damage and is much harder to detect than completely bogus data.

I can't speak to their quality as I haven't tried it yet. I have used Resin.io quite a bit and it's great if it fits your use case (and the pricing model makes sense for you).
On the one hand, that's how I feel about literally everything about myself. There is something wrong with my entire body. I do only use it because I have no better choice. To quote Eliezer Yudkowsky, "I'm sure Einstein was very smart for a human. I'm sure a General Systems Vehicle would think that was very cute of him." Like I said, I'm all aboard the transhumanism train.

On the other hand, you're right that most people don't have that intuition and that "prosthesis" may not be effective communication. This particular issue disadvantages me compared to other humans and solutions to it help me recover basic functionality, but you're right that this technology is good enough that a run-of-the-mill human can benefit from it too. They just don't benefit as much as I do. So, hm, maybe I should switch to augmentative language over assistive. I'll think about it.
Top 5 Trends in JavaScript Development
It indeed sounds like a normal small tow!

From my perspective, we have bitter few of them. For me and many others, walkability is fundamental. It's fine if others don't agree. Our segment of the market is woefully underserved though, and we can see that in the fact that walkable neighorhoods and towns are always almost more expensive than areas that require car-dependency. I also think that price-differential is because of the constrained supply of walkable towns because collectively we prioritize speedy car travel at the expense of everything else.
Doe v. Mattis – Challenge to Detention of American by U.S. Military Abroad
There's some level of bonding with the food, booze, and HOPEFUL talk about what you learned at the conference or how you might apply it to what you're working on.

And because you're on a trip, there is less distraction from dog, family, costs.
I think that there will be more conferences about mixed technologies, such as PolyConf (before: RuPy) - these days people want to broaden their knowledge behind known technologies and see how others work.
Much of what you've written here has also been the story of my life. My natural way of speaking is to choose precise words from a big vocabulary. I've been chided about this on several occasions. I definitely get a much better response when I use small words and simple, common analogies. That's easy enough to do in writing, but doing it live is very hard. I have to slow my thinking down and pause to come up with simple phrasing. Of course, other people perceive big words as trying too hard, and small words as natural.

As for the rest: yeah I don't get no respect neither.

I get "Invalid email address" for my email so they are applying some sort of aggressive filtering on their email acceptance anyways which IMO is a really bad sign they are building an email list they want to profit from.
