Well, here is the patch with a relevant test: https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/215474/diff/3#index_header

Seems to create an iFrame, sets the source to "chrome://global/content/win.xul", then creates a div (with a NS) inside it and sets the content to:

<a onclick="foo()" href="javascript:foo"><script>bar()<\/script>Meh.</a><a href="http://foo/"></a>

The expected results is the div contents is:

<a>Meh.</a><a href="http://foo/"></a>
Well, that's a 'stimulating' site. It seems to be channeling the 1980s UK paper the Sunday Sport[1] (famous for its "World War 2 Bomber Found on the Moon" headline).

My favourite line so far is: "He has been banned from every farm in Britain". I can't imagine what it looks like without an ad blocker.

I guess I'll have to throw away my MA in Philosophy then.

If you read closely, you'll see that I didn't criticize philosophy, only the tendency of philosophers to make empirical statements about the practical value of their discipline without the empirical proof to back it up.
You don't need OutputDebugString on because you can always tap the write syscall on stdout from gdb.

And I don't really know what IsDebuggerPresent gets you.

You're really focusing on features, rather than use cases.
If you google "non-mechanical laser beam steering" you can find some interesting work being researched (I don't think anything is commercially available, though).
Yep. Turns out you can write better code faster when you aren't drooling on your keyboard or buzzed on fifteen espressos.

The problems come when people compare real engineering work with programming. I studied mechanical engineering. Real engineering is a very, very old art, and 99% of what you do is plugging numbers and adding margins, and physical constraints mostly dictate what you can do. Programming is mostly navigating blind in an infinite sea of possibility, and the only constraints are time and space. It's much more by-feel than real engineering, and I expect it to be that way for another half-millennium at least.

All that is to say, you can push a real engineer harder and get ok results still. A programmer will just die under the whip.
He's back, he's got a new game, and he's not giving it to you yet. Works for me.
The people buying USDT are people trading cryptocurrency. There are many exchanges (probably most) that don't deal with USD, so USDT or other Tether varieties are the only way to execute trades that approximate trading fiat currencies for pure cryptocurrencies.

I think you may not realize how large the market has become. The top 6 biggest exchanges are currently trading more than $10 billion worth of cryptocurrencies daily, and there are many more that trade $100s of millions daily.

If that volume is sustained (it reached a peak recently with the price spike), it would put the annual trading volume well into the trillions, perhaps around $5 trillion.

100 million USDT per week seems pretty reasonable (if not small) to support that kind of activity.

"Saying I have 10K followers is not a lie or misrepresentation of any facts, even if you bought half of them. "

Sure it is, it's omission of a material fact. You know the person is trying to get through to real people. You know the number of actual people who are followers is smaller than the real number (through your intentional act of buying them), and you know this is material to the person you are talking to. If they suffer legal injury, congrats, you committed fraud.

This is pretty basic stuff. The kind of logic parsing you are attempting is not how the law works.

"Companies need to do their research and ask the right
questions before they part with their money..."

While generally true, it's irrelevant here. This is a thing you would definitely have a duty to disclose (for a ton of reasons). This would make it ripe for a misrepresentation-type fraud claim.

Love it. I think there's plenty of room for innovation in this space. I'm currently in the process of porting a ~700 line bash script (I didn't write it) to Python. Although longterm I think this will be much better for the project, there are still tradeoffs. There are some things that are just so easy to express in shell language, like composing transformations via pipes. Sure, python can do it, but it feels clunky in comparison to me. I would love to see a language like python (including package ecosystem) written with shell use as a first-class citizen.

By PR, are you referring to the media publicizing this for dramatic effect, or Strava implementing social features? There are lots of shady ways companies try to go viral, but given how much individuals clearly want to share this data, I'm not sure blaming Strava for facilitating that sharing is very fair or accurate.
bash is good enough for launching commands and short scripts. When you want to manipulate data that may contain special characters or write not trivial algorithms, it becomes insane. I think it is a feature. It indicates that bash is not the good tool for that. bash, sed, awk are excellent tools. I know all the basic stuff about them and I know when it becomes tricky. When it becomes tricky, I switch to python or perl.
How are you so comfortable that the idea that information should just be shared willy-nilly?

That no human has to step in and check and maybe sometimes go, hmm, that's actually not a good idea to do that.

Computers are super-stupid, literal automatons being allowed to do whatever because Silicon Valley makes more money if it doesn't have to curate anything.

Normal humans expect computers to be a bit like humans. Have some common sense. Not have a god view. Forget stuff that happened 5 years ago, or at least be pretty hazy about it. Definitely not remember stuff from 20 years ago. Not, and this is totally crazy I know, record every voice search you've ever done in some creepy vault somewhere where it's used to sell you shit. Not be able to track you every movement from the time you leave your work, to when you go sleep with your bit-on-the-side, to where you go buy your drugs, to when you go back to your boyfriend.

We know they're not. Normal people don't, or at least haven't really thought the consequences through.

I find your view more disturbing and odd than your in-law's.

> The US didn’t make special economic areas, they just arose organically.

True enough. I just don't think Shenzhen is special enough as an economic zone to make a difference in the US. Somewhere like Nevada is probably ahead of Shenzhen in terms of economic freedom. There is an even more special zone in Shenzhen called the Futian Free Trade Zone which might be special even in relation to the US. But I am not sure that it has much impact overall.

> There are big differences between a command and control economy (China) and a more liberal one where things just happen (or don’t).

Right. That is partly why I don't think Shenzhen, while certainly interesting in itself, offers that many lessons for the west. Unless you are happy with "wait until the rust belt is desperate, then expand Seattle by 10x with government backed capital, make workers live in dorms".

I guess one way to look at it is that Shenzhen is the rust belt. The big coastal cities in the US is more trade centers, like Hong Kong. Before the information age people had to be close to the factories. When manufacturing moved to China the rich became free to move to the coastal trade centers instead. Predictably those trade centers aren't developing much, because the workers aren't part of that migration.

> We are reminded of that in whenever it rains all he roads flood or freezing my butt off in southern china in winter because indoor heating is too luxurious.

That is true of Europe too though. Up north there is district heating and double glazed windows with argon in between, while down south they run the pipes on the outside of the buildings in some places. Paris flooded a few days ago. Granted that is an old city.

I do think there is something to be said about the standard of living in the US. As much as public infrastructure might be "not as good as the good parts of e.g. China", private infrastructure is certainly of a high economic standard. It might very well be that people in the US have to change the way they live, which seems to have been developed for good times, to be competitive.
I used to play computer games in my late teens (quake 3 particularly) and even though I have fond memories, I don’t think I bonded as much over it. In retrospect I value more real life adventures (going on trips, nights out, general mischief). In the end there are ‘avatars’ performing antics that cause real emotions, but being in your body, in the world does not compare. Perhaps we simply belong to different generations (I’m 38 btw).
I read the original announcement and also this analysis. Is it decided that Amazon will “own” the healthcare provider? As far as I can tell this is still a joint effort by several companies with the same philosophy on how to solve the problem. Presumably if other large companies were aligned they could create their own joint partnerships or discuss the possibility of joining this one.
> HQ2 is going to have employees who will have to live in that city, and it is in their best interests to have well-funded public services.

Wrong! Amazon paying or not paying taxes would have a small impact on the rest of the city. They are better off saving these billions.

Of course, I consider Amazon's approach borderline illegal. It should be banned, period. For Amazon, and for any other company in the US.
yeah sorry if that wasn't clear
I don't doubt it happens with other electronics manufacturing, and negotiating with multiple vendors is a good negotiating tactic, my comments are purely directed at the console business.

If you look at the average lifetime of a (successful) console, you're looking at between 5 to 10 years. Within that time, multiple revisions take place, often to replace peripheral components to reduce costs, but in the case of the longest living consoles they will often get a design refresh, including a redesign of the CPU / GPU. I can think of only one example in recent memory where a console switched manufacturers for these core components during its lifetime (that example being the GPU for the Xbox 360, which switched from AMD to IBM). In the case of the Xbox 360, IBM were already manufacturing the CPU, and the redesign combined the CPU and GPU into a single SoC. Aside from that one example, there haven't (to my knowledge) been any other examples of companies switching manufacturers for their core components mid cycle. Contrast this with the PC business, where OEMs will frequently swap between motherboard/CPU/GPU manufacturers, and you'd have to wonder what makes the dynamics in the console market different.
Ask HN: Do you send infrequent personal update emails?
In light of declining social media use, and our general reliance on passive communication over the past decade, I'm wondering if people here have a regular habit of writing to distant friends to stay in touch, catch up, and share more personal things with each other than any of the social platforms encourage.

My best friend from grad school wrote to me the other day. He lives in London. I live in SV. It'd been 5 years since we last met in person and/or talked via email. He had quit all social media years ago. I was ecstatic to hear from him, and I found our dialogue to be much more meaningful, personal, and in depth than a FB wall post or even messenger.

Engagement numbers are averaged across Q4 2017, I assume. Zuck announced the news feed algorithm changes in mid-January 2018. Now, they were likely A/B testing it for part of the past quarter, but it seems quite likely that these changes were not 100% live for all of North America for the entirety of the past quarter.

Therefore, speculatively, engagement in Q4 was likely flat or declining across NA already. What is more uncertain is the order of operations here. Did they publicly announce these changes in advance of the earnings report to get ahead of bad numbers?

Not a strava employee, but under https://www.strava.com/settings/privacy There is a setting to disable your activity data from being incorporated into the heatmaps, which I would assume (hopefully) is retroactive at some point - not sure how frequently those maps are regenerated
It's 2018 and people are still using the word "retarded" as if it's not just as derogatory to people with intellectual/mental disabilities as the n-word is to black people.
Strava overtly markets itself as a social network. It doesn't open with, "use me - I'm an app to help you track your workout plan", it opens with, "use me - I'll share your workouts with your friends." The sharing of data is the primary feature and it's right there in the title of their website. If you use the app and think sharing is an anti-pattern, I'm concerned about your presence near nuclear weapons for reasons other than privacy.

Yeah thats what I meant -- but "trust but verify" -- how verify?
You're changing the subject. The fact that it is possible to have a discussion (whether empirical or not) about the nature of evidence or of what constitutes a fact, and even that this might be a very fruitful thing to discuss, does not suddenly make a statement like "philosophy improves critical thinking" true and beyond questioning.
Posting on Facebook, right now, is like updating your resume (like LinkedIn) for personal life. It just feels too "public". Sure, you can tweak your social network into different privacy levels. But, that just doesn't feel intuitive or effortless.
The exclusivity factor which initially propelled the network is simply not there. At the peak of the facebook madness, you had a need to post whenever anything happened. Now, its just the big ticket items.

I think people login more due to habit than to post personal updates. I doubt the current college going kids even login at all. Today, you update facebook only on special occasions like marriage, birth of a child, graduation or when people go out to visit places etc. Previously, like 7 to 8 years back, people used to post very personal things, knowing that only their friends are on the network. It definitely, felt safe. It Again, maybe my gen aged a bit during the last 8 years, I don't know.
If anyone posts anything too personal right now, it feels like a violation of social norms. Like crying in public with everyone watching.

No matter how many tweaks Facebook makes to their Newsfeed, I doubt quality engagement from what I saw 7 to 8 years back will return.

People just shifted to mobile apps like Whatsapp and have different social groups there. This feels very natural and organic. You have a few small groups of maybe 10 to 15 people max per group who all know you intimately and maybe a couple of larger groups with 50 plus members. This usually an alumni group of some kind.
Even the larger groups get tiring if there are too updates and many frequently opt out after a tiff.

I just feel the era of publicly sharing personal information on web based social networks is over. If there is somekind of a decentralized privacy oriented mobile app that has the same functionality as whatsapp and it gets widely adopted, then it might be game over for the big companies in the social networking space.
Even though Whatsapp is owned by facebook. It feels very safe and personal to share updates.
Updates are effectively public because once they're collected by a third-party and / or shared with anyone, it's now out of your control. But my understanding (in which I'm not certain) is that the controversy is the heatmap feature, and that your name wouldn't show up in this proof-of-concept attack unless you had opted into that specific feature.
Not all churches require monogamy, but I will use that as an example. This remains a global problem irrespective of how it affects you: institutionalized monogamy did prevent, or at least limit, the STD epidemic. That's one objective problem off the top of my head, there are other subjective problems.

That's not to say that institutionalized religion didn't have problems, it had many, we simply now have to find other ways to solve the problems that it did.
Just because it isn’t kitschy and filled with over-the-top praise of the Dear Leader doesn’t mean it isn’t orchestrated. I think it is a mistake to believe the DPRK isn’t capable of producing sophisticated social media like this.
@chubot: There is one use-case I come across every once in a while:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/356100/how-to-wait-in-ba...

So whenever you want to do things in parallel there is probably a limit to the number of processes you would like to execute in parallel (e.g. the famous compiler limit formula: number of CPU cores +1). It would be great if Oil could support such a use-case out of the box, as easy parallelism without the ability to artificially limit the number of parallel executions is often useless.

To be perfectly fair, human beings can't pick up on sarcasm reliably: or at the very least it seems to be cultural/contextual.

Australians/brits consistently bemoan the inability of Americans to understand deadpan and sarcasm.

And I'm even reminded of one of my European friends (from Austria) bemoaning conversations with Germans along the lines of:

Austrian: "could you be any more condescending!?"
German: "yes I could be more condescending."...blank stare.
dragonwriter was talking about the limitations of a numerically "representative picture" to tell a history, not about "absolutes," whatever that means. I thought it was pretty clear.

This shouldn't even be an argument, since history over-represents minorities all the time. It's not a mystery as to why. Trade and war have a couple of things in common. They feature prominently in histories because they are a catalyst for change, and they are practiced as often as not by "minorities" - ethnic, religious, racial, etc.

Tell a history well (or poorly) or try to make some kind of historical point and it is likely you are going to be talking about minorities. Over-representing them, to be sure. Taleb knows all this, and his recommendations regarding written histories have been pretty good. Regarding this thing, he was just being a combative douche. (or he has some other goofy racial agenda, as some have speculated... who knows)

Trigger warning!
late 15c., "make slow or slower," from French retarder "restrain, hold (someone) back, keep (someone from doing something); come to a stop" (13c.) or directly from Latin retardare "make slow, delay, keep back, hinder" (see retardation). Related: Retarded; retarding.

The noun is recorded from 1788 in the sense "retardation, delay;" from 1970 in offensive meaning "retarded person," originally American English, with accent on first syllable.

It is completely fair to interpret this ID law as retarded in the first sense.
And yet here we are. Hundreds of large porn sites in the US, requiring zero real verification.

Age verification was never adopted by most of the major US porn sites. I was a teenager at the time, I never once had to age verify or provide a CC to use any of the large sites. The only thing most of those sites have ever required - if anything at all - going back to the 1990s, is a click or equivalent indicating you're over 18. Beyond that there were dozens of large US porn forums back then, facilitating downloading, none of which required age verification at any point either.
The article makes the point that the companies have complementary business competencies that could help them deliver a better healthcare experience (tech, logistics and customer service at amazon; reinsurance at berkshire; capital at JPM), but there is another advantage to these three companies working together: scale.

amazon and berkshire are in the top 10 employers, and JPM is in the top 25. while most of the talk around improving healthcare cost / quality in the US centers around technology, value based care, etc, the real economics, and company's strategies, are largely driven by scale. this collaboration is a way to immediately get a strong negotiating position in any discussion and to provide a sizable test bed for various initiatives
> an IDE based on the language it was written in

I recommend Emacs. Maybe not as a daily driver (it's a matter of preference), but for the experience. I recommend at least a month with it, make sure to write some original Lisp code for your customisations. (You WILL end up customizing it, the defaults are crap.)

> or a window manager

I recommend Awesome. The core is in C, but that's basically the low-level stuff, the actual WM is written in Lua. If you'd start with an empty init file, you'd have a moderately sized side-project on your hands to put something usable together. But if you'd start from the stock rc, there's a world of endless tweaking and customisation waiting for you...

Watch out, both Emacs and Awesome are rabbit holes.
