This is silly.

The DNI takes an oath to keep state secrets a secret. He then takes an oath to tell the truth to Congress in an open session, which is itself an oxymoron when discussing a huge bulk of the national intelligence apparatus because we demand so much secrecy around every damn thing. How do you have an open session and not pretty much immediately invite some sort oath violation? It's the dumbest fucking thing in the first place but we like to play pretend to be open while simultaneously having metric f tons of state secrets.

There's a very long list of people who have appeared before Congress and lied under oath, and not referred for undeniable perjury charges. And they do not have the president of the United States giving them a defacto pass by saying Clapper was caught between a rock and a hard place. There is no f'n goddamn way Clapper was ever going to be charged with perjury. It's the dumbest line of logic, you need to go backwards in time to have this argument. It has nothing to do with Clapper. Go point a finger at people like Cheney and Feinstein if you want to whine about the massively neurotic security state.

And the idea you're going to find out jack shit about what's going on at CIA or NSA by charging Clapper with perjury is pure stupidity. If you want to know what happens at NSA and CIA, you need a society, in large numbers, who aren't paranoid and servile, and won't elect paranoid and servile representatives, who then accept the creation of a paranoid control freak surveillance state. We have what we have as a reflection of who we are, in particular those who do not participate. That's exactly how you get this kind of result.

"If you write it they will come" (paraphrased.) This used to work and it CAN work but it is incredibly rare. An amazing article that isn't shared can languish no matter how good it is.

At least a bit of marketing - eg. at least post it to a few social networks, can go a long way.

I always look at it as: the better the quality of the article the less hard you have to work at marketing.
I work contract. I work 9-5 and I get as much done as I can. If that means missing a client deadline, it means missing a deadline. They should have planned ahead, and it’s simply not my problem. If that means losing a client, I’ll have another one tomorrow. I won’t, however, be able to repair damage to my personal life or relationships if I constantly allow my schedule to be dictated by clients - been there, done that, burned out, never again. I’m simply not desperate enough for money to work as a slave, and I’m not foolish enough to act as though I am.
“Sign up to see more” is something we have removed for a large percent of our users (including all US users) and is something we are expanding as fast as we can while still allowing for growing a core user base in countries where it is relatively small. It’s a decision that’s complex and not my call but we hear the feedback loud and clear. To my knowledge in no country do we show the overlay immediately after clicking through on a Google search result. If you have a counter example please send it to me and I will share with the relevant internal team. ~Best
As far as I know, the consortium who originally created and backed OpenSocial is pretty much dead. That doesn't necessarily mean the standard is "dead dead" though. Some products still implement it and there are still products coming out that will support it. I can say this because we're working on one of those products at Fogbeam Labs.

Sadly the open-source reference implementation, Apache Shindig, fell into a state of inactivity to the point that the ASF project was moved to the Attick, but the code is still available and can be forked anytime.

Likewise for the standard itself... if people are interested in this sort of thing, a group can always create a new version of the standard, or - depending on copyright / license / blah - create a successor standard.

If anyone reading this is interested in either Shindig or the OpenSocial spec, or both, feel free to drop me a line at prhodes@fogbeam.com. I'd love to keep in touch with anybody still interested in / working on stuff in this area.

Edit: just found this:

Looks like anything current going on with OpenSocial is here now.

This sounds great in theory, and in companies that I personally own I am able to achieve this level of control (mostly). However in my experience on the battlefield you rarely have the luxury of this level of absolute control.
This article has the same conclusion I came to...use Medium to syndicate[0] content, not originate content.

Medium is still very useful to get content to readers that would otherwise not visit your website.

Articles I wrote that were picked up by a "publisher" on Medium get way more views than anything on my own domain.

To put some real numbers on it, one article I wrote this month got 92 hits on my personal website[1] but 429 hits on hackernoon[2].

That makes me motivated to write because people will actually read it :)

I understand what you are saying and I agree with it too. What you are worried about, is what happens in the short term. But, in the long term, as the technology matures, this is what should be happening. It will become an easy to use black-box which works for almost 99.99% of the cases and gracefully handles the remaining cases. You will no longer need PhDs to use the black-box, only to develop them.
For e.g., look at numerical analyses toolboxes, like automatic integrator. Even if you do not understand the underlying system of differential equations, the libraries just work or throw a nice legible error. They encapsulate a ton of ugliness inside, but that is all right as long as the solutions are predictable.
Lightroom is slow as fuck in my experience. Just bought a new laptop with a top of the line i7 CPU, SSD, 32GB RAM, 1050 GPU, etc. and it tears through video editing, solidworks CAD work, etc.

But even still LR lags constantly working with a small collection of photos from my M4/3 camera. Like I can't scroll through a collection without it hanging.

I assume this is caused by poor GPU utilization, but it's very frustrating whatever the cause.
My experience has been the complete opposite. I'm grossly underpaid and I know for a fact that my manager is fighting for me to stay here.

The company (HR and upper management) and myself (I should not have accepted such a low starting salary) are solely to blame.

This sums up a lot of my problems with fitness trackers in general. I know some people who have started to be more active since getting one, to beneficial health effect but I'm very skeptical of their use for most people.

Apple Health already had the ability to view medical record documents, using the CDA standard. I think this is a huge step in the right direction for the Health app.

Here's a question for HN people: what do you use to manage your medical records on Android?
From the article [emphasis mine]:

> On top of that, the amount of views a given article would get ultimately weren’t that impressive. At least not much/any more than our own blog (given we’d already built up a nice readership).

That's a crucial point made as a side remark. They had already done the hard work of building audience for their own hosted blog, to the level of getting around 10k views on posts already. So, this was about the author hoping for even bigger numbers and perhaps visibility to new audience. Which apparently didn't happen to any significant level.
You are right in that it's not a bribe. It's a common industry practice to offer "discount" or "rebates" for volume customers, or those with longer contract duration.

Qualcomm did not specifically created a "plan" to discourage potential customers from choosing competitors. It was Apple who proposed the rebate deal with exclusivity and Qualcomm acquiesced to Apple's demand. Then Apple started parading around telling regulators that they were FORCED into that agreement. In hindsight, it was Qualcomm's contract lawyers' oversight to have let that big one slip. Qualcomm has been under regulators' radar for decades, but they might have felt it was ok to let that one in since it was their own customer Apple, not Qualcomm, demanding that exclusivity.

Your understanding of the situation is a bit skewed: (1) yes, Qualcomm is a leading wireless inventors and owns the largest wireless patent portfolio (2) even if you don't use Qualcomm chips, you have to pay Qualcomm licensing fees. You are allowed to challenge their FRAND licensing practices and, for almost a full decade, Apple has done this every time their contract is up for renewal with Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung and pretty much every wireless patent holders WITHOUT any evidence that there is a breach of FRAND. (3) Qualcomm's rate is higher because the share and importance of their IPs and, again, because Apple is a huge volume customer. Apple was never in rush to get the latest and greatest tech.

I think by the time you built up that dell system to match the custom rig, it will be much more expensive. ECC has no benefit here (for anyone really). And while you get more cores and cache with Xeon, the 6 core overclocked i7 with double the clock speed would surely outperform except in the most parallel of processing applications.

As for picking all the perfect components that work together, there are myriad of people and places online crowdsourcing and benchmarking the perfect configurations. I doubt Dell is putting much thought and testing into their configs beyond reliability and cost.
It doesn't. For some reason, which only the CoreAudio team could explain, it is necessary to use a kernel extension to capture system audio on macOS. Kernel extensions are not allowed in the Mac App Store (and rightly so), so having it just work is unfortunately not possible.

That being said, I could easily add a feature to record any other input device on the system, and then you can install the Soundflower kernel extension (or one of Rogue Amoeba's other excellent utilities) to create a loopback audio input device.

I always watch short video game replays with the audio off or on gfycat or whatever where there is no audio anyway, and for capturing bug reports or whatever I don't need audio either, so I didn't feel like I was missing much without audio for myself.

All that said, if the CoreAudio team would come to their senses and provide a userland API for doing system audio capture, I would definitely be on that.
You might like Gene Wolfe, especially The Book of the New Sun and the Latro series [1].

The Book of the New Sun is technically sci-fi, but in fantasy trappings, set in a future world in which the sun is slowly dying out, and humankind has mostly lost their knowledge of technology. It's dense, filled with sly little narrative puzzles that are left for readers to deconstruct, and it's beautifully written in a mannered, intentionally archaic style.

The Latro series, starting with Soldier of the Mist, is a historical fantasy about a Roman soldier who suffers from retrograde amnesia, so he must continuously write down what happened the day before. (It came out decades before the movie Memento.)

Maybe I was just unlucky but every programming teacher I had in high school was utterly incompetent. I scored very low on the AP Computer Science test and almost backed out of my major in college -- the only reason I didn't was because a professor told me I was better off forgetting everything I had learned about programming in high school.

I just don't see how they would be able to hire a significant number of knowledgable instructors at a teacher's wage. I worry that this could do more harm than good by advancing programming's reputation as an arcane art not suitable for mere mortals.
The article is based on data that includes, among other points, that the individual manager accounts for 70% of the variance in employee engagement, and that 50% of Americans had left their job because of the individual manager. If you want to argue that the individual managers are not important and the bad effects come from higher up, you'd have to show some counter evidence to these points. (I am personally about to leave a job because of my individual manager, so I'm inclined to believe the article and study pretty easily).

FWIW I agree with pretty much all of those points. Great to point out things like line length and container size.

APT does not (or did not when I last checked) protect you from replay attacks:

Even the newest CPUs have those bugs (well, AMD doesn't have meltdown iirc). That said, I think the old 47xx cpus have aged extremely well. Running a 4790K myself, and will probably hold out for 2nd or 3rd gen Ryzen (unless Intel has something competitive in price/performance). The latest CPUs only do much better for many-core chores, and I just don't do enough of it to spend $2k+ on a new setup (migrating some bits) over keeping what I have for a 10-20% boost in performance.

In a mature liquid market, like exist for major US equities for example, you'd go long bitcoin and short bitcoin cash. Your broker would calculate the margin ratio on the total position and so you wouldn't get a margin call just because the bitcoin cash part went up, so long as bitcoin went up even more. There'd likely be some sort of carry cost.

But bitcoin, and especially bitcoin cash, doesn't have a mature liquid market, so this really isn't possible in any sort of off the shelf way. If you wanted to put at least a few hundred million into the position maybe you could get an investment bank interested. But even then they might not want to touch bitcoin cash.

"But, just because the valuation went down, doesn't mean it's the management's fault."

Yes, it does. The justification for the extremely high salaries and bonuses that execs get is because they are the ones who are "taking risks" and "are responsible for the company." Here, they are literally being rewarded for failure, and at the expense of people who were actually doing work.

Any app that manages to insert itself into the middle of that transaction is going to redefine the food industry. That's why everyone is so hot for delivery right now. Even though the short term game has horrible unit economics, delivery is a natural choke point by which you can own the customer relationship.

Which is precisely why no restaurant worth its salt limits itself to a single delivery app...Delivery is an add-on value for restaurants. People who assume it's just about the food fundamentally misunderstand why people go to restaurants in the first place.
My interpretation is that they meant something like "last resort" there.

Since this is income-qualified, it's not a UBI, it's a classic means-tested benefit coupled with a lottery (since not everyone in the target jurisdiction and income level will get it.) Now, if the population is identified at the start of the demonstration and no further income testing is done, it may provide some indication (though no definitive answers) of behavioral impacts of UBI on recipients who start in particular economic conditions, but it's not very much like a UBI in general.
It's more about what's possible with "short interest" and falsely reporting "shares short" that can give the perception that there is more supply than there really is thereby inhibiting buyers and increasing sell pressure. It's a form of high level manipulation that occurs in the traditional markets everyday. How this kind of manipulation translates to crypto is up for grabs, but some form of it is coming I can guarantee you that. Source, me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13844765
What do you feel about custom "publications" that happen to use Medium? For example, hackernoon.com and codeburst.io are pretty popular around here and they just take Medium articles they find and add them to their publication.
Whenever people suggest that 21st-century content (namely that distributed through TV, but also in books) is somehow uniquely lascivious, I know they have not read any popular late-medieval or Renaissance literature. Anyone who has read Boccaccio's Decameron or even parts of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, such as the Miller's Tale, is purged of any imagined celibate medieval period.
