Children, totally - I lived in Alsace for about six months as a kid, and was repeatedly warned not to touch any weird looking objects in woods, fields, etc., not that it stopped me from ferreting around in old bunkers.

I've never seen it done, but I did meet a farmer with an impressive array of ordnance stacked in his grange, some of which he sold, the rest of which he said he burned in a deep hole. Sure, single data point, but he definitely held the "this is what we do" attitude. This would've been '93.

One 2017 PeerJ study estimated that Sci-Hub owned $268,000 in unspent bitcoin as of August 2017. (Though Elbakyan has publicly disagreed with that estimate, she hasn’t said how much she owns in bitcoin. She claims the exact amount is confidential.)

The same people that say "all lives matter" would be saying "You're undermining our cops therefore putting them in danger. You're literally getting cops killed."

The reason why the "all lives matter" people exist isn't because they're honestly misinterpreting the "black lives matter" message. They're dishonestly misinterpreting it. If you worded it differently they would find a different way to dishonestly misinterpret it.

The demo didn't show up for me (Brave v.0.20.29) until I started to scroll down, and it was not obvious to me that I could do so until I read this comment and wondered.

I did a month at Roam Bali last year and it was super common for folks to show up for a couple weeks, meet people around the place, and then all rent a bungalow somewhere nearby instead of staying at Roam for the rest of their journey. They're really going to have to do something to encourage people to stick around if they want to avoid that happening (lower rates? better community?)

It was a good experience overall but if I were ever back in Ubud I'd go out on my own now that I know the area a bit better instead of paying Roam rates for the package deal.

In doing this, you are no longer an owner, thus no longer have a vested interest in limiting housing.

You profit from this, but at the expense of your neighbors. Imagine the opposite scenario where all over your neighbors do this, but you're the single hold out. Would your home be worth more, less, or the same with twice (or more) the number of people living on the block? Obviously, we don't really know, but the holdout is likely fearful that their property value would go down dramatically.

You can see why people who have $1,000,000 mortgages don't want to see the value of their house fall to reasonable levels, because they'd be the ones taking the six-figure bath.

I somehow created a Reddit account without an email address in order to comment on something about 8 years ago.

Eventually, I decided to comment on something else but forgot the password.

I was unable to reset the password without an email address.

So I never commented on Reddit again...I don't want a username that isn't styfle :)
About how to use SELinux to ensure that a process with certain PID is running the intended executable and that it hasn't been tampered by the user (i.e. a rogue app running with user perms).
I've been attempting to get building permits for a small personal residence in a So Cal coastal town for nearly 3 years. The experience dealing with the city has felt very adversarial. The sense I have is that the city and most neighbors don't want new construction, and in that spirit put up as many roadblocks, opposition and red tape as possible to slow you down, and in many cases stop you through attrition. I've seen many try for years and give up including one project that has been ongoing for over 10 years.

The first major hurdle is obtaining approval from a Design Review Board consisting of 5 elected board members who subjectively determine if the project is "neighborhood compatible". Even while complying with all zoning requirement for setbacks, building height and envelope, lot coverage, environmental impact, etc, and not requesting any variances, most projects stall here, some for years. The board convenes monthly and invites public participation and comments, and if there is opposition either from board members, or neighbors, you're in a very long and arduous process in getting approval. Common complaints are mass and scale, incompatible architecture, view blockage, noise pollution, excessive glazing, color choices, and the list goes on.

When/if you get through design review, you're then off to coastal commission and building and safety for more review and approvals, and eventually building permits if you make it through it all. The entire process will take many years, and potentially 10s or 100s of thousands in expenses before you even break ground. This is for a single residence - I can only imagine the hurdles and expense for a multi-unit project. So I understand and agree with the state attempting to legislate a reduction on the restrictions and roadblocks that local municipalities impose on residential construction.
I was purposely being vague because I wanted to give people a good excuse to flaunt any repo they feel needs saving

Also that project looks awesome. I think I'll show it to my Audio Engineer buddy. It could be good motivation for me to work on it!
Same here. I love music and good sound, but I don't go down the audiophile optimization rabbit-hole – for many reasons, but mostly because one quickly gets to the point of diminishing returns.

I was surprised by the HomePod. It's much smaller than I had imagined, and sounds much better. I think I might get another one when the Airplay 2 update comes out.
The problem is that in politics you get called Isolationist as soon as you suggest sometime a little out of the 'allowed opinion' stream. Many so called 'isolations' are not against building a bunker around the US and doing nothing.

The United Nations for example can easily be engaged in even if you are against most US foreign policy.

> about solely looking after your own interests rather than a more global view

This 'global view' was basically about building a global order that the US could control. I was just another view about what in Americas best interest by a different group of elites.

Your parents likely aren't experts and your you want to make efficient use of your time consulting withstand pediatrician on details, so getting good, expert-written books to cover as much of the general space as possible is a perfectly reasonable strategy.

The problem, of course, is finding those books.
There is no mandate to increase density. The change is to allow density where it is presently illegal.
The story isn't completely specific on the chain of events, i.e. the sending of the screenshot on his personal laptop may have been done in addition to using GChat at work. But if he indeed was using his personal laptop at work (as many contractors do, though I can't speak for what it's like at Facebook), how is screen-recording software simpler than a proxy server? Aren't proxy servers used by corporate IT to screen incoming/outgoing traffic for possible malware?
I can see that you're facing challenges that put you in an untenable situation. And no, I haven't seen any place in California that has any sort of public services and employment prospects and housing where you own the house and land for under $100K.
You must not be aware of how many millions of men and women have parents that are at best divorced, at worst completely absent or even unknown. And no, pediatricians can't fill that gap.
Then maybe we should put more resources to study other approaches and higher-level concepts, like statistical learning research done by Vladimir Vapnik.

> because it will be a false accusation trumped up by state actors.

Not to mention the other glaring hole in some of this, those that believe it was a plot, a smear.

Really? A state attempts to destroy someone's character and credibility and the best they can manage in their set-up of him is "may have had 'sleepy sex' with someone while lying about a condom"?

Not much of a smear. Politicians are accused of far worse every day in the US and many times it barely affects their career, if at all.

I realize people like to joke that governments/security/intelligence services are "bozos", but I've never had any patience for the "it was all a smear to destroy him".

The Library of Alexandria, the greatest library in antiquity, which by some estimates contained half a million scrolls, was destroyed.

The Catholic Church was responsible for the destruction of many writings they found to be somehow objectionable.

Almost all the great authors we know of from the ancient world had writings that were lost, and for some authors all we have are legends of how great their work was. Those are the ones I'd most be interested to find.
If anyone is interested in general MIME validation, not specifically email addresses, I wrote @ronomon/mime:

https://github.com/ronomon/mime

The source code has comments from the various RFCs inline. It's not just a question of reading and knowing the RFCs but also of interpreting them and balancing them.

The decoder will throw detailed exceptions which are designed to pinpoint where the message went wrong, and which RFCs were broken by the message.

It also does just-in-time decoding, and decodes only the properties you access. This is much more efficient if you only need a header or two to reject spam quickly as part of a front line defense.

Above all, most of the methods are extensively fuzz-tested against independent reference implementations.
May I ask where you ended up? If you're uncomfortable sharing the city, state would be fine. But: Where are the walkable cities in the US?

I (coming from Europe) travelled on the East and West coast and both times was astounded by how much US living relies on having a car. I'm myself pretty anti-car-ownership by now, but I think this is much easier to do in European cities.

What value does your system provide by limiting addresses to 100 characters and the given regex.

Why not just allow any input and validate the address by attempting to send to it. It's really the only way to tell if its a real address.

A loud minority of people already fight transit and successfully prevent it or water it down. The type of people who fight transit also fight housing.

Time series data is hard, especially without lots of training examples.

Consider looking into traditional forecasting methods as a baseline. AR(I)MA based approaches with seasonality might actually be fine for you.

However, it all changes if there are structural breaks in your dataset. Look into Rob Hyndman's free online book (https://otexts.org/fpp2/) for an excellent introduction into timeseries forecasting.
It's also not using the AMD-style interposer but Intel's EMIB which they claim is much cheaper.

Might be a bug. Let me try it on Brave.
Not really.

In a usual quassel (irc bouncer that can, optionally, store logs in SQLite) setup, you’ll have between 1 and 10 writers, constantly writing hundreds of IRC messages a second to SQLite, while you’ll also have readers that need to respond with low latency for queries loading hundredthousands of messages, including those that were just written.

The result is that SQLite gets so slow that the writers queue up so much work that the IRC connection times out.

SQLite is absolutely useless for multiple writers.
That's all fine, but except in pretty specific circumstances you're going to have valid reasons to want multiple accounts for a single email address. Kind of a crazy scale issue, but one example is wanting your AWS Account to be separate from your Amazon Retail account, even though they use the same underlying account store it's a good idea to use separate accounts even if they're tied to the same email.
Cloud TPU product manager here.

The TOS you are quoting only refers to the information you provide in the survey. Here are the Google Cloud TOS: https://cloud.google.com/terms/ if you're interested in what Cloud does with customers data.

Your training data and models are secure.
The poor would never be able to afford food at the Gelson’s in those areas.
I examined a whole load of DNS Records (automatically) to check for this problem under DigitalOcean and Vultr a couple of months ago, but for "stray" name-servers rather than poorly assigned A records. There are more vulnerable domains than you might think.
Regardless of the TOS saying that or not (I haven't read them), I can think of at least two reasons why your statement doesn't hold:

1) AI startups usually don't have a lot of value to potential acquirers based on their data, but based on other things (e.g., talent, customers, business model, platform, brand). That's like saying you shouldn't use AWS because Amazon can just steal and commercialize all your data.

2) There are other companies than Google that acquire startups

Having said that, I highly doubt that Google can just use all the training data to on GCloud to launch their own products with that. They can surely look at it and maybe do stuff with them internally, but I am pretty sure that they can't use them commercially.
At least where I live, Hungary, torrenting was decriminalized some years ago as long as someone isn't doing it for profit. It's still illegal but they stopped going after end users. The biggest private tracker has 770k users atm with an exceptional 1452% seed to leech ratio. Basically almost everyone (ie daily internet users) is using it in the country.

Also they introduced a "blank media" tax on everything (CD, DVD, SSD, HDD, USB flash drive etc.) as a compensation for the presumed losses.
I'm a bit surprised as well, but I've also recently realized how few songs actually benefit from having stereo mixes, given they're almost all added in post processing. It matters even less for a room-wide speaker, when the listener is not at a fixed point.

That said, stereo can matter, but only when the recording itself was done in stereo. Proper stereoscopic recording is pretty cool to listen to with headphones.

All my opinion, of course.

Ask HN: Technical skills versus people skills
I'm a mediocre Javascript developer without a CS degree. The typical imposter who probably doesn't deserve to be in this industry at all.

I've recently been working with some really good freelancers and the gulf between me and them is embarrassingly obvious.

Frankly I can't imagine ever being as productive as them, or able to think architecturally the way they can. I feel like I'm wasting everyone's time by even being on the team. These guys spend more time reviewing one of my shitty pull requests than they would spend writing it themselves.

But one has to pay the bills somehow, and I've got 30+ years of work ahead of me. I've started thinking about moving sideways into some kind of product owner / scrum master role. The problem is I have quite poor people skills as well. I'm quite shy and have no leadership experience.

Has anyone else been in this situation, and how did you get out of it? Did you focus on becoming a better programmer, or did you manage to improve your people skills? Or did you quit the software industry altogether?
Just wondering, when a new tool like this comes out, how can one be sure that it doesn't contain any malicious code? Would love to try it for work, but am a bit concerned about this, at least until it gets vetted more.
