The bacon thing is maybe a good example of Hamming's Closed Door Paradox:

I noticed the following facts about people who work
with the door open or the door closed. I notice that
if you have the door to your office closed, you get
more work done today and tomorrow, and you are more
productive than most. But 10 years later somehow you
don't know quite know what problems are worth working
on; all the hard work you do is sort of tangential in
importance. He who works with the door open gets all
kinds of interruptions, but he also occasionally gets
clues as to what the world is and what might be
important. Now I cannot prove the cause and effect
sequence because you might say, ``The closed door is
symbolic of a closed mind.'' I don't know. But I can
say there is a pretty good correlation between those
who work with the doors open and those who ultimately
do important things, although people who work with
doors closed often work harder. Somehow they seem to
work on slightly the wrong thing - not much, but
enough that they miss fame.

In this case, as it turns out, bacon does give you cancer. The relative risk of high "processed meat" consumption is in the neighborhood of 20%, i.e. RR of 1.2, for colorectal and lung cancers. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16991129/

In the US, there are about 200k deaths per year from these two cancers, out of 2.7 million total deaths. So your chances of dying of one of these two cancers is about 7.4%, if you live in a place somewhat like the US. And that increases to about 8.9% if you eat a lot of processed meat.

It seems to me like a 1.5% chance of dodging a death by cancer, and thus living an extra 5–20 years, is worth a single disrupted morning.

Massive oversimplification, but still... In a world where clicks are driven by upvotes and retweets and shares and so forth... Gaining early attention is vital.
I mean, I know that. I get it.

My point is: if we can think so far outside the box as to imagine a world where the matter around us literally moves to achieve our will, can't we also imagine a world where this precept no longer holds?

WordPress works very well with high loads if you use proper caching (via WP Super Cache, for instance) so the database doesn’t get hit for every page hit.

You don’t need containers or in fact anything fancy for that.

With WordPress in particular containers make some maintenance and scalability issues more difficult to deal with.

I would like to see the more detailed telemetry that the car gathered at the time.

For a human driving the car, the dash cam together with personal testimony would probably put the issue to rest; although the fact that the pedestrian was in the roadway before they entered the lane looks very suspicious because a human likely would have seen them because of headlights on an open road even if not illuminated by streetlights. Nonetheless, the dash cam shows what it shows, and human sense and memory is fragile.

Not so for a self-driving car -- the memory is not fragile, and should be preserved. If it is not preserved and there is no remaining copy of the car's telemetry at the time, that in itself is a detail that can point towards gross negligence on the part of Uber. If it is preserved, the question becomes, would a "reasonable person/software" have acted based on what was shown there, and that goes towards whether there is negligence or recklessness. But we (or at least, investigators) need to see that telemetry to make that decision.
Actually people quickly got bored with item collection with wide availability of duped items and gold(with exception of some variant gameplay groups which played legit), the game actual attraction was its randomness(dungeon layout/content) and challenge to complete levels at higher difficulties.
Items and gold were central to Diablo2, which is exactly the "pinata simulator" you describe.
In general, Diablo could be completed with trash items or(with sorcerer, even nothing worn).

Another thing to watch out for is leaking IPv6 connections. Depending on your configuration your VPN may not set the IPv6 default gateway.
If I take on a $1m debt through an LLC, pocket the $1m, and have the LLC default, courts will see through that.

The happy medium would be a good 401(k) or 403(b) plan with employer matching contributions which defaults to a low-fee target date mutual fund with options for low-fee equity and debt index funds. Many employers already offer something like that.
I use Nuzzel to track things shared by multiple people that I follow on various platforms such as Twitter that are trending over a given timeframe.

Great if you are interested in getting news from a niche area - let's say you follow 10 high profile VR people on twitter, and then half of them post an article about some VR thing, I'll see that on Nuzzel, and I won't have to scroll through Twitter and mentally cluster/count to know about the hot new thing in VR that VR people are talking about.

Microsoft to monitor/ban offensive content from users
The US has a concept of incorporated territories versus unincorporated territories, with the difference being whether or not the constitution is meant to fully apply (It's effectively a legalistic distinction between "state-to-be" and "colony"). The only remaining incorporated territory is the uninhabited Palmyra Atoll (created by removing it from Hawaii when Hawaii became a state).

Since unincorporated territories are not meant to be thought of as the United States proper, provisions like birthright citizenship don't apply. I don't think all of the relevant claims have been litigated before the Supreme Court. Since the Insular Cases in the early 20th century, the Supreme Court has slowly walked back some of the distinctions. In addition, Congress has expressly granted many rights (such as citizenship, not mere nationality) to Puerto Rico, which is the substantial portion of the territories.

Facebook:

* Groups: My primary use of Facebook. I'm involved with several local and special interest groups.

* Messenger: It's better than SMS.

* Videos: The video system is really good, and I've subscribed to several channels. Mostly industry, intellectual, and educational channels.

* Walls: When I ask myself "I wounder what that person I fell out of touch with 2 years ago is up to" this is where I go.

* Events: If I feel the need to go out and get some R&R but I don't have any plans I check this for things to do.

LinkedIn: Early in my career I created a LinkedIn page. I've received several job offers from it over the years, and even accepted two. I keep it up, and use it as a reference to build my resume. If I'm considering switching offices I flip that switch to get a feel for the current local labor market and how it matches with my skill set.

IRC: Classics never die.

Special interest webforms: Another place to meet people with similar hobbies.

Discord: This is starting to take over IRC in several communities I am involved in. It's Slack for fun things instead of work things. I watch about a dozen topics in a half dozen "servers".

People opposed to statehood boycotted the referendum, leading to a 23% voter turnout rate (one that usually hovers around 80%). That figure isn't really representative of the will of the Puerto Rican people.
Profitability (or the possibility of profitability) is absolutely a measure of whether something can be relied on. And if it can't possibly be profitable, then it means there is likely a non-obvious revenue stream or funding source, which means a ulterior motive.

So yeah, if a service can't be profitable, it can't be trusted.
The theory I've seen the most is that the LIDAR probably did detect her just fine, but Uber's software failed to act on the data.
Makes total sense -- if they aren't making money on the service they sell they will naturally have to do something else to keep the lights / servers on.
I use google photos to share with family without ever touching Google+. I have a shared "family" album with everyone invited to it. Any time I have new photos to share, I add them to that album and everyone gets a notification to check it out. Also, my significant other and I have our entire photo libraries shared with each other.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your categories, but why would a server care about the distinction between "static" and "client side dynamic"?

If you want to educate yourself more, you could register for some courses on edX.org or coursera.org. Both sites offer downloading of lectures and course materials. I did that for awhile until I got a more reliable 3g connection. I love my train commute and strive to make it at least 30% productive, the other 70% is watching Netflix, other just general web surfing, sometimes it approaches 50%. Either way I enjoy the time to explore new content, whether it be educational or pure entertainment.

Clickbait? Its not "VPN providers" its "VPN provider software", I never even thought of using their software, most just give you the credentials for OpenVPN/IPSEC/PPTP or similar. Also if anonymity is of "real" concern you should never use a system that knows your real IP address in the first place. Instead create the vpn tunnel on a separate host system and run something like Tails in a VM (or better yet separate physical hardware).
This is exactly the kind of mis-handling of situations that invites regulation.
Agreed, although we already have a significant amount of petroleum based products in modern (US, anyway) homes: insulation (more and more styrofoam), sealing wraps, glues over fasteners, flooring, and plumbing. Your basic plywood by weight is a large part resins already, although no idea the makeup.

Maybe automation will make more "organic" building materials more affordable or feasible.
Write a demo. As in the demoscene thing.

More to the point, try programming just for the fun and art of it -- like that 80-year-old lady who paints with her Amiga. You can start off with a framework like Processing if you do not wish to get into making raw OpenGL calls and the like. If it comes from your own vision and imagination, it's meaningful to you.

I dunno. Did you specifically want to do Web programming?
That's fair, and I understand that pain.

You have probably the cheapest insurance in the US. Realistically, that number is going to be double and that's for state minimum coverage for a low risk driver. At that point, you're self insuring quite a bit and you should add that in.

As others have noted, your repairs probably don't even cover basic maintenance like battery, oil changes, or fluids.

You don't have registration/sales tax in your value of the car.

Do you ever pay for parking or a car wash?

You should probably also add in any taxi or Uber/Lyft rides you already take to get a total transportation cost.
If Docker's blog was their core product, I would probably be more likely to agree. The truth is, they don't get ROI from engineering their blog to anticipate or quickly respond to all the traffic of a major announcement, because those are few and far between. The level of complexity is moot because the benefits will only outweigh a very small cost.

They build container tech. That doesn't mean they will benefit from engineering the best solution for everything they do.

Yes, transpilers are source-to-source compilers. However bundlers aren't transpilers.

Yeah. Reading code is definitely an underrated skill. I always think that Linus Torvals' secret is his ability to read code quickly and comprehend it on a deep level.

I am pretty good at reviewing single blocks of code but if you dump a complex system on me I struggle to comprehend it in depth within reasonable time.
Meet VR Pioneer Jaron Lanier *within* VR – April 3, 4pm PST
Ask HN: Have you ever been adversely affected by your content being taken down?
I'm part of a team at the University of Colorado, Boulder doing a research study about content takedowns -- we'd love to schedule a time to talk with you about your experiences in losing ownership and the ability to share your content freely. Ultimately, we hope to use this knowledge to better understand the impact of content takedowns and copyright policy and therefore design better platforms.

If you agree to be in the study, you will participate in an interview with a researcher which
should last between 30 and 90 minutes and will be conducted either in person or remotely via voice or video chat according to your preferences.

Feel free to email me at krdh0184@colorado.edu if you're interested :)

Does the GDPR actually express a right to account deletion? My understanding is that it expresses only a right to erasure in a limited set of circumstances. Given that comments are public, I think it may be possible to deny the right to erasure on the archival exception.

However, upvotes are currently private, and cannot be removed after some length of time. I wonder if this would mean they should be made removable (or at least the record of them in a user's account).
I don't use VPNs. For me, the more alarming information here is that SOCKS and Tor proxies are also leaking IP addresses.
If a SOCKS proxy is configured in browser, isn't it the browser's responsibility to ensure all outgoing traffic - including WebRTC - goes via the proxy? Are these browser bugs?

Update: Can confirm Firefox Quantum with SOCKS proxy leaks the address. Oh dear!

Update 2: I didn't realize this is how WebRTC actually works. FF even has an entire page for tweaking this stuff https://wiki.mozilla.org/Media/WebRTC/Privacy. I hate it when features like these, which atleast in my case go mostly unused, have such critical weaknesses by design and it's not announced anywhere with a big red danger sign.

Yes, and it's a perfectly fair argument.

Content hosting sites are supposed to host content. That's what they do. If a site doesn't work under unusual but not outrageous conditions, it's fundamentally broken and not fit for purpose.

The industry should be much less tolerant of excuses for tools and systems that perform poorly under load. It's had a couple of decades to get this right now. How is it acceptable that this is even a problem?

> consistent with the way Bannon thinks which is certainly a few steps ahead of most people on the left and the right in terms of psychology. ... He realized early on that BELL HOOKS was on to something

Could you elaborate on this more? I noticed Chris Wylie make a passing reference to this in the initial whistleblowing article from The Guardian this month, where he was quoted as saying that Bannon "was the only straight white male I've ever had a conversation with about intersectional feminist theory, and he immediately grasped its relevance to young conservative men." But I haven't seen this discussed or fleshed out anywhere else, and this connection between Bannon and intersectionality in his scheming way of thinking really intrigues me. I'd really like to hear anything else you know about this.
> Am I the only person that has a healthy relationship with social media?

You are confusing a propaganda campaign against social media with actual news. Also keep in mind that the author of the Op-Ed was pushing a book he was writing.

Billions of people have a healthy relationship with social media. Just like billions of people have a healthy relationship with alcohol, food, working out, tv, sports, cars, etc. But it's funny how every day we are bombarded by the news media on social media ( ironically enough ) about how evil facebook and social media is.

OP's post is from November 2016. Why do you think it was posted on HN? Billions of dollars being spent on "cambridge analytics" style firms to put pressure on facebook, google and social media in general. So expect to see a lot of social media bashing as the elites try to reign in social media.

That's all it is. Once zuckerburg bends the knee like most social media entities have, the media and the will back off. Just like they did with reddit and google/youtube.

> Psychological manipulation is a type of social influence that aims to change the behavior or perception of others through abusive, deceptive, or underhanded tactics.[1] By advancing the interests of the manipulator, often at another's expense, such methods could be considered exploitative, abusive, devious, and deceptive.

> Social influence is not necessarily negative. For example, doctors can try to persuade patients to change unhealthy habits. Social influence is generally perceived to be harmless when it respects the right of the influenced to accept or reject it, and is not unduly coercive. Depending on the context and motivations, social influence may constitute underhanded manipulation.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_manipulation

I would say that persuasion based on facts is perfectly fine. It’s the deceit that was particularly troublesome last election. And by using targeted social media campaigns derived/aided by private data and possibly behavioural and psychological profiles, people were easily manipulated for the purpose of another nation state. The foreign influence aspect is a real challenge for democracy and sovereignty
