Then I will argue your initial response is a non-sequitur to my initial comment - it's not a question of whether of whether or not we "can" or "cannot" diminish one's role in something - we certainly can. But, we're a competitive species. I think it has been an important characteristic in our evolution. In the alternate reality where people don't take overstated credit for success, in whatever form, Haber and all the other scientists who probably grew up reading of the great scientists who came before them that they wanted to emulate may have been tribal village raiders (I'm exaggerating, very slightly). Frankly, any form of desire to see somebody else's limelight revoked likely stems from their own competitivity and insecurity.
They should be faster, but I doubt it.
This is so cool, what are some great uses for this?
Do you have a screenshot? I don't feel like enabling JS for that site. Moreover, a screenshot would keep your argument understandable for readers who might encounter your comment in a year or later, when that site changed their layout or perhaps doesn't exist anymore.
The interview is clearly about a book; I assume they focused on the story around the writing of the book, rather than recapitulating the contents of the book. If you want to know what is done badly, and how to improve, I imagine the best thing would be to read the book.
All ads are disruptive, as they are designed to draw your attention. If you can ignore an ad it did not serve the purpose it was created for. Does it mean Chrome blocks all ads now? Don't hold your breath.
On average my returns have been in the double digits and much better than the market 20%, even with back to back losing years - for some reason I am losing money at the bottom of the market cycles, when the market starts to rebound...

I find it easier to have those kind of returns with small account (less than 5M/10M lets say), more than this and you are starting to move the market when placing trades, so it is much harder and cannot be back tested properly...
Ask HN: Which text editor do you use, and why?
I love looking at the street views with the little shops and taverns. Its an interesting reminder of the times when there wasn't an Amazon or Costco or a myriad number of cookie cutter bars and restaurants. Of course, these are the places that drove them out of business for good, if not for better.

This is an option, except for the fact that the tech lead is beholden to the same timelines and pressures from management as everyone else.
One thing that drives me nuts is how these embedded systems always want to use goddamn BusyBox instead of full fat Bash and userland. There's just enough stuff removed from BusyBox to break scripts and generally make life annoying. And for what, to save 20MB of space on your 16GB device?
I've bought and worked through "Get programming with F#"[1] and liked it. It isn't finished yet (it's still in Manning's early access program), and it skips a lot of more in-depth topics, but it was good in helping me to get going without any previous experience in ML-style languages.

Edit: Also, I'd guess "F# for Fun and Profit"[2] technically counts, too. It's a really great resource for starting out with F# - Scott Wlaschin also has posted a few talks on specific subjects that he tackles with F#. I really liked his talk on "Railway oriented Programming", for example. It's also a good start to look at practical examples of monads :)

The Channel Tunnel is covered by the Sangatte Protocol (1991) and the Additional Protocol to the Sangatte Protocol (2000), which together enforce pre-boarding immigration controls. (For comparison, the Treaty of Le Touquet introduced them for cross-Channel ferries in 2003.)

Ultimately British politics has driven all of this: it's much easier, legally, to refuse someone without documentation at the UK border control in France (or Belgium, or in the future Holland) than it is when they claim asylum upon arrival in the UK.
I think it's more of a winner takes all phenomenon in the Conan case. Usain Bolt makes millions because he's a tenth of a second (or less!) faster than many other people.

Those other people - with the exception of maybe Justin Gatlan - make a far more modest salary. It's less than a 1% difference in performance that leads to orders of magnitudes differences in outcomes.

Just a heads up, we tried to enable H2 with haproxy 1.8.3 last week and had to roll it back because of a Firefox bug. I believe it's this one, which doesn't seem to be getting much attention: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1427256
Sort of, if you have the $$$ and the damages are worth chasing in reality you would take them to court. Demonstrating that everyone else is routinely breaking the TOS, and that the company knew about it, would be a very strong piece of evidence in your case

That's why it is so infuriating when people respond to any criticism with "well just stop doing business with them!" That's fine until it isn't.

We have exactly one hospital in town. We have exactly one ambulance company in town. We have two medi-vac helicopter providers but you don't get to pick. We have one garbage company (Waste Management) that you're legally required to use in a residential property. One power/gas utility. One water utility.

All of those are private companies, but I have zero ability to switch. There's no competition. They're completely monopolistic either through regulation or naturally. If this is healthy capitalism I'd hate to see unhealthy.

Garbage pickup is particularly galling. It used to be public, government employees, with no profit motive. You had a complaint process. For ideological or "campaign contribution" reasons politicians gave it away to Waste Management, complaints are now handled by nobody, and fees climb year upon year.
Employees of a temp agency are not customers, even though the agency takes XY% of 'their' pay.

If you do enough mental gymnastics to argue that they are... Well, then the word has lost all meaning.
It's not retroactive if you know about it ahead of time. It would be known when the contract is made that the money would by law have to be returned in the event the patent is invalidated.

The consequence would obviously be that all the licensees of a patent that has any chance of being invalid would subsequently try to get it invalidated so they can get their money back, but isn't that the intended result?
We use alpine as a base for production containers because it makes pulling the image a lot faster. A typical image might be 10-20MB vs. 60-100+MB if based on ubuntu.
Interesting bit is the 280 characters of test data you can include, enough for a small amount of JSON.

While I agree with you that humans cannot simply be labeled as good or bad (there‘s also a nice Solschenizyn-quote at the end of the article) your argument has one flaw: He not only invented chlorine gas he actively pushed for its use against the opinion of German generals.

The question stands how many people would‘ve not only disocered this deadly weapon but also were so enthusiastic about its use (see also: some quotes of him in the article)
I agree on the reductionist part, it's never that simple. But, in his case it was his conscious decision to use the gas as a chemical weapon, the case of which was unprecedented. Sure anyone else would have come up with the idea sooner or later, but he has set the precedent so that anyone after him now can use it, as the Allies actually did, in all this "but they also did it, now we want too!" sentiment. His bad judgement caused not only good things, but disregarding the possible consequences also cause much much worse things. It's actually simple, imho.
And yet I still use email because I am no longer inundated with spam thanks to the likes of Google and Microsoft. Without them I'd have given up on email altogether.

Toptal as a freelancer for full or part-time I find better, even if it comes with all sorts of other issues like their opaque refund policy. There's other freelancer sites around too that are similar, usually posting on remote job boards like remoteok, weworkremotely, jobspresso ect. Surprisingly making a post on your local Craigslist you want contract, P/T work pans out too if some local company decides to contract you but I wouldn't work for individuals there since you'll likely not get paid. There's also here, the monthly freelancer for hire post.
This is unrelated to any previous demo/work Accenture has shown. (I work on this @ MSFT)
I'm going to go on a totally off topic tangent, but this kind of makes me wonder why no-name comics aren't pursued more aggressively for TV. How many people are actually watching Conan because of name recognition, or the amount of money they're spending on production costs? It seems like a relatively unknown person with a smaller budget could outdo the competition just by actually being funny. Maybe I'm just too grumpy, but I really don't enjoy most of this segment at this point. Colbert in particular has been disappointing because I was a fan of what he did on Comedy Central.
Honestly, I am the same way. Any project that users gerrit for some reasons takes 10x+ time to merge issues or communicate, and the usability is terrible.

I now just avoid it whenever possible, usually forking my own thing, and just doing what I need.

For "light reading" on this subject, try _Working Effectively With Legacy Code_ by Michael Feathers. We used it to very good effect at my last company.
You're asking for something impossible. Software patents exactly analagous to Benson, Flook and Diehr are de-facto allowed. Software is such a broad and fast-moving field that you can't expect any patent office to be able to fairly judge novelty and non-obviousness.

If there's any hope for the patent office it involves an act of congress explicitly making software non-statutory material for patents.
Commonwealth is the only big bank, is what I got from the article. ING is definitely live.

Although, I've still not actually figured out how to pay. It's telling me I can receive. I just can't pay (with CommBank). Friends on ING in the same boat.
It is too bad that these companies can't charge some high rate for dealing with problems in person at an office. I would sure love to have the option to have no password reset available on my gmail account with the option of going to an office and paying $50 to reset it. Or $50 to figure out why my Google account got banned and the option to get it re-instated. I guess such a system is bad for PR, "Look, Google screws up and makes you pay to fix it.", but for me this would be a really nice system. I really don't like how I can reset my brokerage account password without meeting someone in person and verifying my identity.
There's no real answer since the term "propagate" can mean one of several things. For example are we propagating the session ID from the server to client or client to server? And in both cases there are several answers which apply.

PHP Dev or not, that question is too vague to be answerable. You'd have to ask additional questions just to understand the question itself.
Very severe price swings. Since supply is decreasing, the demand for bitcoin well whip the price all over the place. Fiat currencies can keep a stable price by liquidity injection (they can also drive it to zero that way too).

Bitcoin over corrects by not allowing any new coins to come into existence. Imagine the day there is only a single bitcoin left. Regardless of how small you can split it, massive deflation.

Currencies with a fixed or decreasing supply are a disaster.

In spite of needing something like this a few weeks ago, I wonder what the role of such reduced distributions actually are these days.

In my mind the primary value is learning. The smaller the system the more likely I can understand how all the parts interact. Once a basic understanding is achieved you can start layering in more and still keep up.

Once you get a bit past that it's easy to create recovery media and other interesting boot tools.

I'm sure others can think of more but that's the first thing that I think of when I think of LFS, Tiny and to a lesser extent distros like Slackware that still tend to keep things relatively simple.
Good point. I tried to use PyTorch’s cross_entropy function but I got this error: "multi-target not supported".
In my experience, the best scientists are not motivated by money, at least not beyond enough to provide a comfortable lifestyle. For me it's much more important to work on interesting problems in a good team. Also, startups can provide an exhilarating feeling of 'anything is possible' which you rarely get at a large corporation.
A whole lot of people study vaccination, and have been for 109 years. Everything is up for dispute from specifics to generalities, from medical studies to policy ones. Yours is a minority position. But, it has advocates. They just haven't convinced the majority.

The Gates Foundation is trying to influence indian policy and practice, and other places. This is based on the idea that immunization (also diet, sanitation, and deworming) significantly lowers childhood mortality, especially in areas of high prevalence.

You're implying this is all a big mistake (or conspiracy). Immunization is dangerous, and hurts more than it helps. I don't know of any convincing studies that have reached this conclusion. Certainly not the the policy level. The closest I've seen to a reliable refutation is at the individual level, in low prevelance places.
OK. Outbrain and Taboola are pretty disruptive to my sanity and peace of mind. I wonder if we can get them blocked.

I created a new twitter account and a few days lates it's banned. I haven't even had a chance to follow/tweet or do anything.
It's absurd that there isn't an option in Venmo to reject all transactions from people who aren't friends. If someone's Venmo profile is public I could send them money with the note "Drugs deal to fund terrorist activities." and there is nothing they could do to stop it. Might be a good way to mess with someone you don't like, especially if they carry a balance on Venmo.
This has been going on for years. Back in the mid 80's when I was going to college I knew a lot of people had come back to get their masters are even change fields because they couldn't find jobs. Employers wanted 2-3 years minimum experience and the new grads lamented how were they supposed to get said experience? My first job I worked FREE for the first 3 months at a startup (they didn't have the money to make a payroll anyway). Ultimately that launched my career and got me past the 2-3 years experience issue. This was back in the 80's!

There's a certain irony in this. By putting restrictions on kids (no screens, digital downtime, etc), we expect them to become self-driven. This is a great idea in theory, but it also seems pretty likely that a kid will go to their friends house to watch Youtube videos, when I would just as soon have them (and their friends, if necessary) at my house doing that where at least I have some sense of what they are watching.
I am curious to discover more about such scenarios. My understanding was that they generally use American Arbitrator's Association and do not have a say on what kind of arbitrator gets assigned to them.

None of this is true. ING Group owns ING. And, as far as I know, ING has never had ATMs in Australia.

As more software is adding support for HTTP/2 server push, I hope they'll start supporting a higher-level, implementation-agnostic, declarative way of specifying resources to push, which operates at a layer higher than server config directives.

It's very similar, it's just that the metrics are not so easily measured. A top tier employee might accept the job only if their salary is 2x what a lower tier worker might accept. Now you have to balance out what you think the difference in likelihood between these two workers finding a "breakthrough" is, if what is a breakthrough worth to your business.
I run a mailserver with bogofilter, which, with a few months of training, is surprisingly effective. Before that, dspam was also very effective. Spamhaus makes a decent effort on providing blacklists.
I don't see what google and M$ is bringing to the table, apart from pain for indie (still validly configured with DMARC, DKIM, SPF) mailservers.
Papers are published in journal/conference proceedings/etc. that will have the date of the issue ("Transactions for the International Symposium on Computational Yak Shaving 2018"). The paper might have been written in 2017, but published in 2018, which means that when it gets cited it will be as "ABC et al., 2018".

Papers without a date are usually preprints, or published independently (e.g. on the author's website) while expecting actual publication at some point.
If not forced to by some external entity, why would they ever do that? It's not in their best interests for any sense of the word.
Centralized sources have the same problem though. Almost every job on upwork is posted with a requirement of a job score of 90+. You can only get a job score by completing something on their platform and getting a positive review.

OP said he did a project for $10, which for most freelancers is maybe 5 minutes of work at their standard rate. If you're going to work for free, might as well do it in your own circle and build out from there.
I find it tough to get my kids to socialize more without scheduling them especially on weekends. Daycare is good because they exercise and run wild. But weekends are hard because the kids are just not out there anymore, so you have to coordinate with other parents.

Too many or too few?
Meanwhile, Google still hasn't added a way disable auto-playing videos (regardless of whether a video is muted) in Chrome.

Safari has easy options to set both a default and per-site preferences (https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/stop-autoplay-videos-...), including a "Never Auto-Play" choice. Despite years of user complaints and a fairly clear resolution to them, Chrome either watered-down their fix or solved the wrong problem entirely.

Celebrities are their own brand. They have followings that are big (some bigger than others). That is the difference between them and no-names. Celebrities often have proven talent. Conan has decades of bankable funniness as a writer and entertainer - it's not a given any no-name can be that good or reliable.

As a Tunisian (ahla w sehla), I agree completely with this statement. It's good to see Cloudflare getting closer to tech hubs such as Lebanon. Let's hope this will convince other large companies to set up shop (directly or indirectly) in the region.

A VPN provides a secure tunnel, so it prevents your data from being sniffed on the insecure WiFi in your local coffee shop, and up every hop to the terminating server. So you can prevent an ISP and friendly neighborhood hacker from seeing your requests. However, the terminating server can see EVERYTHING.

So if you want a VPN, use https://github.com/trailofbits/algo or https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand.

Algo is my favorite, but both are pretty effective in my opinion.

This worked for me in middle school when I had to memorize German-language poems while not knowing German. It was rather magical how I could go to sleep unable to regurgitate the words and have no problem the next morning. These days I don't have many opportunities to test my rote memory abilities, thankfully.
Facebook bought Onavo. Facebook owns Onavo. They are not a random VPN app. They are a Facebook property.

They are touting the VPN as being protection, when in actuality they are using it to gather data on the users that use the VPN.

I do not understand your comments in light of these facts. If one trusts Facebook, then using Onavo isn't a concern for them, but they should be aware just because it's a VPN it doesn't imply any kind of privacy or protection, and should be aware that Facebook's marketing/use of Onavo is shady.

If one already does not trust Facebook, then it should be clear to stay away from Onavo, whether found randomly, through an app store, or advertised by Facebook.
