No it most certainly isn't, if this is just but one step in a growing trend with bipartisan support, which it is.

We need a president who will pledge to appoint Justices that will respect the rights granted by the 4th amendment so we can roll back all of the unconstitutional and authoritarian legislation/structures that have been created in blatant violation of it. Stopping this one rule is immaterial. As we've seen, if legislation that is unpopular with people but popular with politicians fails to pass, then politicians will simply try to pass the legislation/enact the policy later when nobody's looking. The problem isn't isolated to a single act, it's a pattern that needs to be fixed.
I disagree, that page is way too crowded. I wanted to click off immediately. It still took me a minute to figure out what the offer was because of all the other stuff on the page.

That is the beauty of airbnb's landing page, you get a sense right off the bat of exactly what it is they are selling.
Implicitly, they're asking, "How will you make us more money than other people who are applying for this position."
This is such a stupid explanation. Do people really think the government is going to go "You're a terrorist, but we can't deport you for that. But look here, you checked this form wrong.."
The breach notice indicates that hashed passwords were compromised but doesn't mention whether a salt was used when computing the hashes.

Use of a salt makes all the difference, guarding against the use of rainbow tables to look up precomputed hashes of common passwords.
Well or just vague at least.
I don't know about temporary card numbers, which afaik don't exist where I live but : the data-industrial complex indexes people by credit card numbers so given the number you can get a full profile. Income, etc.

It makes you wonder why humans are so much more special than every other species. In only a few hundred thousand years we evolved far beyond a threshold that no species has managed to achieve in the years, and for some, eons of evolution proceeding.
What is the definition of a landing page?
It's mind-blowing to what degree the country has been on a downward spiral for the last decade or so.

I'm really not convinced people already understand just how hard it will be to reinstall sane dynamics and politics.
Well, for starters, we have 2 political parties that dominate most elections. Everyone is told that if they don't like what those parties stand for they need to hold their nose and vote for the one of the two that they dislike less, lest the worse one win.

My personal favorite (to draw attention to) contributing factors are:

- Plurality voting (the possibility of third parties 'splitting the vote' helping otherwise generally unpopular candidate winning)

- Money money money money money. There's not much to stop someone with lots of it from influencing elections by e.g. running attack ads against the person they don't want to win. We talk a big talk about the voters having power, but when most people don't have the time or energy after spending it all making money for the guy who's going to run those ads, they're not going to be well informed.

And there's no incentive for this system to change on its own. Our politicians and the people/corporate entities who pay for them care more about staying in power than they do about 'freedom' or 'democracy' or their constituents' general well being. Our best hope is that people will come to realize that the problem is systemic and start demanding systemic change.
Is there something specific about their local laws that make it so appealing?
We had one of the sockets on one of those fail. Never figured a real reason for it, just one day all the sudden with the computer on there was a big snap, the cooler fell off and the CPU cooked itself. Was well outside any kind of warranty but it was certainly a unique failure.
...and a majority of that personal junk probably could be given away or thrown out without the owners noticing.

The 'dirty little secret' of the personal storage industry is that a majority of customers never, ever access their stored junk -- yes, never. Their stuff just sits there, unused, in an enclosure in some warehouse, while the service provider collects fees month after month.

I say this based on my own and certain friends' past experiences with personal storage services over the years.

I've been working on this for a product launch we are trying to do and have had the problem you are talking about.

The problem is that explaining that without ending up mired in detail is much harder than people give it credit. I've found it very useful to actually write out the list of what I am trying to convey and look at it constantly while doing design work.

Also splitting out the work - the first forays have been what I realized was actually development work that I was hiding behind design. During design I put away the dev environment and just work with sketches.
which is the obvious alternative
Same with employers: if you don’t move around every 2-3 years, they get used to you and divert a part of raises and bonuses to the more uncertain targets. So I always urge people (including my own reports) to look around every now and then, and move to where the grass might be greener.
I seem to remember a solo republican filibustering about drone strikes, continuing to do so about FISA and also fighting the appointment of a CIA Director that not only found torture acceptable but ran a black site. Ron Wyden's the only Democrat that's been there every step of the way.

Is this going to effect them trying to shift workers from the S line to the 3 assembly line? Or is this just a matter of maintenance services doing the replacement?

At the very least, this is the last kind of news they need, for sales, PR, and internal morale.
I just fully belly laughed my way through that. So good
Really? I think the opposite. The first gate should be the hardest to he through, especially if you get a visa that is a guaranteed path to citizenship like an H1B (H1B to Green Card to Citizen).

Looks very promising! We've looked at Cockroach for a particular project, and we've been concerned that performance wasn't good enough.

Cockroach performance seems to scale linearly, but single-connection performance, especially for small transactions, seems rather dismal. Some casual stress testing against a 3-node cluster on Kubernetes showed that small transactions modifying a single row could take as much as 7-8 seconds, where Postgres would take just a few milliseconds.

The documentation recommends that you batch as many updates as possible, but obviously that doesn't work for low-latency applications like web frontends that need to be able to do small, fine-grained modifications.
Usually when you screw enough people you have to remain paranoid. There is a reason countries like USA, France, and Uk are always targeted whereas countries like Denmark, Canada, Norway, and so on are never in the news despite being easier to get in, same philosophy, and more wealthy.
Why does this need to be a public blockchain? Just make it a permissioned industry chain with access from each of its members. Someone lied, well they signed it, go talk to them, you have immutable proof now. Or smart contract style, someone lied? Send the items back and escrow won't release your money as proof of return it could be signed by the courier and the original sender.
Hah, that brings back some memories. Configuring IRQs just right for that ISA Sound Blaster to work (after fiddling with drivers, as well)
I started a long reply earlier and decided to turn in into a blog post instead. Part of what I touched on is that a lot of homeless people pay for storage and, in recent years, I have talked to a lot of people online whose finances are in the toilet and they are paying for storage, often in another state, while they live with parents or whatever and don't make enough money to support themselves.

Years ago, I took a college class on homelessness. It suggested that homeless people pay for storage in order to hold onto hope that they will shortly be back in housing and will need that furniture. But the reality is that it often just eats into their limited funds for covering current living expenses and trying to problem solve.

I did not pay for storage while homeless. I put my limited resources into taking care of myself in the present, improving things and building a future.

Holding on to stuff like you "might need it someday" is rooted in a poverty mentality. Those mental models help keep people poor. In many cases, you could have handily replaced it for less than you spent to store it for years, especially if you had also sold those items you stuck in storage.

Tldr: I generally agree that storage is often about the death of the American dream. The hell of it is that it often serves as an obstacle to personal rebirth.
I'm aware of the ongoing work to enable multicore parallelism in OCaml. It's the reason why I mentioned OCaml in my comment. My comment was rhetoric. My apologies if it was not clear.

That said, I don't see the link between the work done on OCaml multicore parallelism and Go "being too opinionated"...

If I follow you, Go people, unlike OCaml people, are "too opinionated", and don't "carefully investigate existing code" and don't "elaborate modern and efficient code". Do you realize how arrogant (and a bit ridiculous) this sounds?
What do you think commits are?

git commit -m -S “just having my 4th Oreo milkshake haha”
Any example anywhere of using context for current authenticated user?
Whether or not those fears are well-founded is beside the point. I know that components will undergo a safe thermal shutdown. I know that power cables mostly can't go anywhere they shouldn't go. And I still get anxiety around it, even as a person who doesn't get much anxiety. Expecting a nontechnical novice to feel comfortable doing these things is asking a lot.

Plus, there's still a lot that actually can go wrong. Crappy PSUs and built up static electricity have killed uncountable motherboards and GPUs. Misconfiguring your BIOS can actually kill your components, sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly.
Sure, as far as money is concerned - what about data collection and management, though? Isn't that what we were talking about?
willing to work for less money could be one reason.

besides equal skills could be bringing a valuable experience (eg: Knows the <Country> market better than a national)
Got any more Huffington Post "web based surveys" to educate me on the merits of conservative ideology? That was so enthralling...

I find it hilarious how often US Democrats want to use the lowest common denominator, with their half-baked grasp of politics, economics, science, history, etc, to define their party's credibility (and to be clear I'm far from either American democrat or republican). As if the intelligence of the entire voting base (or whom either group decided to convince to vote for them) defines the merits of the ideology behind 0.0001% of the population who reside in congress, senate, and the white house.

Personally I'd rather seek out the intellectuals from either side (for ex: [1]), but also ideas from outside the two main left/right groups, and also from historical ideologies... and then decide what is best for society from that. And from there try to influence particular parties to adhere to the most rational and ideal ideas.

If /r/politics is any indication, the more people you have the dumber the conversations gets. It went from "somewhat annoying political tribalism" on Reddit to completely unbearable inane echo-chamber debates as it scaled up to millions of people. And these same people STILL think they are superior to 24/7 news media talking heads, which is the channel which most influences the wider population.

Is this the means from which we should determine the merits of particular political ideologies?

But by all means, let the opinions of the lowest common denominator, web surveys, and shamelessly biased 'news' websites like Huffington Post be your guiding voice on what's best. I'd personally rather not...

I love these guys! The Festo robotics group was one of the sponsors for our Battlebot back in the early naughts and unlike the other sponsors who were only concerned with how their logo would look on TV the Festo folks really got into the technical aspects of our designs. They went so far as to modify one of their pan head cylinder designs so that it would fit under the 'wedge' of our robot and allow us to throw another robot out of the ring. Sadly Battlebots had died before we really had a chance to try something like that out.

I particularly like the gait work they have done with the rolling spider robot. Legged robots are good for really rough terrain and crap for efficiently going long distances. It is a good compromise.
People are so numb to these data breaches, companies will soon report such breaches just for the free press they get.
Got a new project today. Wasted so much time until I figured there’s tabs and spaces mixed in there.
I have a feeling 4-5 months from now we will be hearing about their post-mortem and the mistakes that were made from a legal perspective.
When you see that the props have changed, what do you do? (You said you do "something".)

If you are updating the state of that component, that's exactly what the new getDerivedStateFromProps is designed for.

If you are doing something else (esp. fetching other data or some other side effect), componentDidUpdate is likely the best place (it receives prevProps as an argument, so you can compare old and new).
I recently built a Skylake PC and the CPU doesn't have any pins on it - just pads. The motherboard has springy contacts that the CPU rests against.

You still have to clamp it down worryingly hard, but it doesn't go crunch anymore, and I think it's probably quite hard to damage the contacts.
The fix will be done at local service centers. So I don't see how this will affect production at Nevada and Fremont.
2 exercises to understand Robot Operating System (ROS) without writing any code
Yeah, though from what I understand this benchmark is measuring both transactional read and write performance rather than just join performance.

Transactional writes are likely the slowest thing since they need to talk to all replicas.
Let's keep the discussion on that thread – I just responded there.
Most of the projects I've worked on have had making money as a root motivation.

"By doing X, Y and Z you'll make more money", with evidence and a reasonable plan, is a decent argument. I've made these pitches as a leaf node in large companies and it's generally gone over well.

It's the answers like "I will empower your organization to..." or "We'll leverage synergy and..." that you should avoid.

I imagine the "make money" pitch will sound bad to a research group, or a governmental or quasi-governmental organization. But for many other places, assuming you're not blowing smoke, it seems pretty reasonable.
Man trusting paper more at this point is the most backward thing I've heard. You really want us to keep using paper for all contracts, needing to be on site to sign documents, sending documents through fax, making physical backups... when all of it can be done digitally?
I loved this, best book on assembly ever written.
There is a large amount of r&d being put into BFT-style proof of stake for Ethereum, it’s always been part of the roadmap. Much work still needs to be done beyond the test net, but so far no fundamental showstoppers have been found. There is also constant collaboration between the researchers and developers of major projects to move the entire field forward.

It’s still early days, unfortunately the hype got far ahead of the tech but progress is being made everyday. I think the same of VR/AR.

One nice thing about having a President with 50%+ disapproval [1] is all the things that got swept under the rug, previously, can now be made alarming. This might be an unintended way the system clears detritus and scope creep.

The purpose of componentWillReceiveProps was to update state in response to props changes. (This is also the purpose of getDerivedStateFromProps.)

What you're describing sounds more like you're updating something external (e.g. your Redux store). This isn't what the lifecycle is meant for, and you'd be better off using componentDidUpdate instead.
It's More Than 1 Cent to Make a Penny – To Confuse Cost, Value and Worth
TiDB looks promising, but it doesn't have serializable transactions at all, which makes it something of an apples-to-oranges comparison at the moment when it comes to OLTP.

TiDB has a weird kind of variation on "read committed" where you get phantom reads (though they're not called that in the documentation, which is actually ambiguous on this point). This is a problem for apps that expect consistency.
It has stars and accounts, so there is a social aspect
It's broken for me too, on Chrome and a 2017 MBP
Certainly there are things that can easily trip up an occasional PC builder.

One of the things I always do these days is look up the memory compatibility for the motherboard I've selected, and then only buy off of that list. There are so many variations in just DDR4 2400 memory, and matching up all the parameters (timing, latency, etc.) is a hassle.
Worth noting is that Aristotle locates the source of Zeno's paradoxes in the failure to distinguish between actuality and potentiality. Achilles does not need to actually cover an infinite number of lengths. A finite length is not actually an infinite number of lengths until we cut that length into an infinite number of lengths, which, of course, is impossible. So until you actually divide the length, the length is merely capable of being divided into an infinite number of lengths, even though it is impossible to perform that division to completion.
I would never ask a candidate this, and I'd never dignify it with a response.
> The affected information included usernames, email addresses, and hashed passwords - the majority with the hashing function called bcrypt used to secure passwords.

If they're using bcrypt, then they're using salts since salts are built in to bcrypt.
I just put a threadripper build together and was surprised with an extremely difficult and finicky foxconn socket.

Takes a while for my monitor to wake up and was sure I had killed it on first boot with the stream of cryptic messages from the motherboard, but it was fine.
That was for AMDs, and I believe by the time of Pentium 4, even Athlons had thermal safeties. I remember quick testing (see if it powers on) Pentium 3s, Celerons and P4s without the heatsink - they even managed to boot Windows before shutting down lol. Same for GPUs.
Ask HN: April Thread for Companies Seeking Entry Level CS Grads?
Every month HN has a Thread where companies post job openings. This month of April can HN have a separate thread for companies seeking Entry level CS grads with and without experience? This distinction would make it easier on students who are looking for full time / internships and F1 students.

There are many students who have some good experiences and contributions to Open source projects but are not CS grads. They have problems with interviews and it is a bit discouraging. Such a thread might be helpful along with any suggestions the community might have.
I've crossed the US/Canadian border probably a dozen times in the last 3 years and have never been asked about this, or asked to see my phone. The Canadians seemed much more concerned about guns and drugs/alcohol. It was actually worse coming back into the US than getting into Canada (I am a US citizen with passport for comparison purposes).
No need to scrape Open Food Facts, they kindly offer a download of the whole database as csv, rdf or mongodb dump: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/data

Ugh. I'm at the tail end of doing immigration visas for my wife and daughter, and it's taken a year to get here. The process is already somewhat stressful as it is. Adding bullshit like social media to the already long list of things you have to report makes my blood boil. Glad we'll be done before this ever gets approved.
I'd also add that in general we suggest there to be one source of truth for any data. For any particular data, you could put it in Redux -or- in local state, but there is rarely a need to keep it in both.

Manually copying things from Redux into local state from `componentWillReceiveProps` (or even with new `getDerivedStateFromProps`) seems unnecessary to me. There are exceptions like rare cases where you want to have a “draft” of some state that can later be “reverted”. But in general you wouldn't want to “sync” state from one source to another.
Any free MyFitnessPal alternatives with an open API for retrieving diet/exercise activity?
I doubt anyone on HN is close enough, it's in Ibiraki Japan - a little far for most of the people on here. (Note most of my experience is in Australia btw)
You're not supposed to pick a CPU from the full list. Use the filters on the left to narrow it down.
You don't really have a choice, though. If you want to do business with most people, you're going to be doing it in inflationary currencies.
