The people that would really benefit the most from this are people who would use it a lot on the same airline (read: business travelers milking those FF miles), i.e., the people to be most noticeable for the airline and the people with the most to lose from being discovered.

They're not that worried about regular folks doing it once or twice a year.
This is not true of me. Even on the micro scale, I'm much better than I was at 24. I write far fewer bugs. And I write code that communicates intent much better.

This seems to a problem with the spec then. Its about the customer. Amoung the customers are

- the consumer - who buys the product
- the product - who buys from the manufacturer
- the manufacturer

If the manufacturer wants to only implement a subsect of the full spec, they should be allowed to do that. This has additional be benefits with regard to minimizing the resources used.

Granted, its a cool spec with great potential and i enjoy seeing it in action with regard to sbcs. But the manufacturer is also a customer. If it doesn't work for them then there probably needs to be some changes
Ask HN: How can felons find programming jobs?
I've been unemployed for 12 months, went to jail 7 months ago for 2 months, applied for dozens of jobs per week for the past 5 months straight, and almost every single one of them has turned me down because I have a felony.

I've tried not disclosing it, disclosing it early, disclosing it in the middle of the interview process, and disclosing it at the end when they make me an offer. They all turn me down.

Half of them are judgmental turn-downs - they won't return my call and never get back to me, because they think poorly of me.

Half are policy - Goldman Sachs made me an offer last month, but withdrew it this morning due to their policy against hiring felons.

I only have enough money to last us through April, and that's literally because our local parish gave us a $1,000 check out of nowhere, which adds to what's left over from our tax return.

I'm a hard worker with a wife and 5 kids to support. I just need a job, but nobody will hire me due to my background. Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated. Especially any pointers on where to actually find a job.

Because I'm still on probation, I can't move out of state and can either work remote or local (greater Chicago area). Most of the jobs out here require 3+ years in C# which I don't have and don't feel comfortable lying about either.

For more background, the felony is from flashing someone (while drunk) who was just under 17 years old. This was the second offense (the other was years ago). They are inexcusable and disgusting offenses, but they are permanently on my background.

EDIT #1: my crime was in 4 local major newspapers, and all 4 online news articles show up when you google my name, so hiding my background is not really a possibility here. About 4 months ago, a small local software firm, which would have been an amazing job, said "I know you said you're looking for 70k, but we'd like to offer you 75k", and I asked them to give me a few days to think it over, which he was happy to do. Then they never responded to my calls after that, presumably because they found out about this.

EDIT #2: I am no longer able to reply to anyone here, since HN now says "slow down, you're posting too fast" when I try, so, um, sorry if I don't reply to you before that resets (probably tomorrow).
I've been wondering why so many of them are popping up in the city core where I am, instead of more far-flung light industrial areas where they typically existed.

The construction costs $/sqft must be a fraction of commercial building for Class A office or housing.
Awesome! Can you add a license to the Git Repo? Thanks!
The Internet Archive capture of that page should have working embeds now: https://web.archive.org/web/20170317183900/http://www.thever...

They take a little while to load once you click on them; it's dozens and dozens of files.

The data for the embeds may still exist on Lytro's CDN, if you know the UUID for the image, and could be rescued and rehosted. After they shut their hosting service down last year, I crawled every embed the Internet Archive had, and downloaded the additional JSON and JPEG assets necessary to restore the embeds. https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Lytro
Basically the finance industry is trying to shoehorn their legacy business systems into blockchain, which of course will not make any advantage obvious other than finding out it is much more difficult to reimplement what is already working with a different system. My view on this is that blockchain ought to find a very specific problem (e.g. trust as a service) that cannot be achieve with existing technology.

I just called up my ISP and got them to renew the $20/month discount for the 4th year since getting the service. I have to go to the retention department each time, but this time I didn't even have to threaten to switch.

Doing this will all of your bills can easily save you hundreds of dollars a year, but it's socially awkward and kind of a pain in the butt (especially if you actually have to switch providers), so most people don't bother. Companies know this and capitalize on it.

Blockchain solves transfer of value really well, took years for it to prove that it works. What has the other projects proven?
> In 2008, approximately 7,300 participants made Fedwire funds transfers

To be a Fedwire participant you have to be a Federal Reserve member, i.e. a bank. Consumers arrange Fedwires through their banks. When I send a wire, I'm not a Fedwire participant--my bank is. If you have a U.S. dollar bank account, you have access to the international Fedwire system.
A lot of the "kiosk people" have more power than you'd expect. Sometimes it's just a matter of finding the one who has bothered to explore the system, or goading them into it.
Cooking helped us to fuel our large brains. May we turn it around and ask: for a given diet and brain size, is the adaptive value of curiosity/creativity to save on calories? Not just by improving our plans, tools and behaviours but by making thinking itself more efficient (in terms of simple wattage).
I think blockchain is like 3D movies. It is intriguing enough to put the foot on the door of public imagination so people with vested interests have a crack to keep pushing their agenda through.
did you not see spacex send a tesla roadster soaring past Mars about a month ago?

Comparing Mars One to SpaceX is basically like comparing a hobbyist rocketry forum to an actual rocket manufacturer.
The killing of the YouTube editor strikes me as a significant snub to Chromebook users. Can Google not see a browser-based video editor as useful? I could see a browser-based video editor as a core app in either Google Classroom or G Suite. I strongly believe the best alternative to YouTube video editor would be a browser-based video editing tool.

Popularising an idea isn't accomplished 100% by the first person who tries. I love the Mars Direct plan and I even travelled to see Zubrin at a Mars Society convention, but the man is absolutely shit at PR.

There's definitely some bad with MarsOne, maybe it's mostly bad. But saying it's all bad is simplistic and ignorant of how public awareness is raised.
From, uh, 2013.

And the book, Catching Fire, mentioned in the article and from which most of the info is gleaned is from 2010. The scholar in the article, Richard Wrangham, wrote the book.

Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari doesn't push the domestication of fire as far back as 1.8 million years as Wrangham does but it does note that the chimpanzee brain uses 6% of the body's energy at rest, while according to the article "A human body at rest devotes roughly one-fifth of its energy to the brain". The hypothesis is that only cooking could have provided this boost. Shorter gut, bigger brain. It's a fascinating conjecture. The question is, did we develop sophisticated language before domesticating fire or vice-versa. Perhaps the synthesised creation myths of all the world's cultures and religions could provide a clue?
The dock is cool but I wish they'd release like a "travel" version which could be just like a cable.

The piratebay had a list of most popular keywords directly linking to illegal content. Also their very name _pirate_bay made them a target for bad intent. OpenBazaar doesn't link to or has anything in its name offering or encouraging illegal content. I used to work for isohunt by the way who got shut down by the MPAA and it was because of these details that they lost. If OpenBazaar never links to anything illegal and does not host hashes or any other data of anything illegal, then they'll be fine. Another point is that OpenBazaar is at least so far not profiting from anything illegal such as showing ads on pages featuring illegal content, that was a big point against bittorrent search engines.

It's junk if you don't know what it is. My sister's mother-in-law spends about $1000/mo on storage units in 6 cities. They were a military family and moved frequently.

The problem is that they don't remember what is in the storage units, and the cost of traveling across the country to go through a closet is steep and of questionable value. So she is stuck in a cycle of paying for things that she may or may not need. My understanding is that many people are in similar circumstances.
You're probably referring to a strong 3rd party intermediary as the aggregate of our financial system when you refer to its regulatory power here, but that it reads like the bank itself has regulatory power is the critique of money provided by Bitcoin in a nutshell. Regulatory capture IS the problem of scalability with our monetary system. Bitcoin exists to prove this.

Charging affluent people more would be handing your affluent customers to your competitor. I don't think shareholders would be appreciative
I disagree with 1, because the real controller in any cryptocurrency is the software users of the coin are running. You could have trillions in mining hardware but that doesn't matter a bit if a popular implementation changes the mining algorithm to no longer work on your hardware and the userbase starts using that hard fork.

Its the problem that the advocates for larger blocksizes in BTC ran into. So long as the ecosystem itself was predominantly going to stay on the bitcoin core implementation, the advocates for change couldn't force it. Eventually they just hard forked into BCH, while the more popular original chain keeps on going.

That also means that nothing is really decentralized unless you can cause sea change amongst all participants in a cryptocurrency - if you disagree with what the most common implementation is doing, you can't do squat about it, and commit access is never decentralized or democratized. Theres always someone with the master key to the repo. And we have seen plenty of evidence that once established unseating a popular implementation of any crypto is nigh-impossible, regardless of what the developers do.

I think Snapchat and users have opposite views on what the UI should be:

Snapchat want to show the maximum of sponsored contents to the users (BTW it took me a week to stop swiping right by reflex after the update) and users just want to send pics to theirs friends.

I know that my usage of Snapchat is anecdotal. If anyone has data on the percentage of users that voluntary look at sponsored content, I'm interested.

But one of the biggest selling points of Bitcoin itself was mathematically limited supply. A new cryptocurrency appearing every day fundamentally undermines the value proposition.

Blockchain may have value as a decentralized ledger in other areas, but “lots of blockchain based currencies” aren’t really one of them since it’s self-sabotaging.
On the other hand, this method might be a good way to 'pay' for using a service instead of ads, so long as it's opt-in and the user knows about it.
What really is unnerving about this? Ambition, craving financial success, and gasp-horror 'entrepreneurship' may be beneath the kind of people who end up writing staff columns for the New Yorker, but there's nothing inherently wrong with it.

Dare I say it, “I have to remind myself that I can’t overdo it, so I’ll do my posts, and then turn off my phone for the night and just be isolated.” might be good advice for the author, who from her Twitter seems to be a fully paid-up member of 'lol trying to adult' Twitter.

I'm talking about serpix. When I asked him "if you don't thik that algorithm questions should be asked, then what should?" he replied with a list of pointless questions.

Then you said "it's really hard bit that's being criticized here, not the algorithm bit."

No, it's the algorithm bit that serpix was originally criticizing, as evidenced by the fact that when he replied to me he didn't include algorithm questions from the list of things that he would ask.

That's why I put the word creative in there. If you ran the segmentation one way and ran some ads and then uploaded some data into Facebook and ran the same ads, you could infer what effect your added data had when combined with Facebook's data, possibly to the individual level if the person interacted with the ads/converted to a paying customer.

I don't have a specific use case because its not my industry, but Facebook's approach seems to be to give people tools they know can be misused in creative ways but then frown sternly if they get misused, so it wouldn't be out of character.
I see ads in Windows 10 Enterprise. Microsoft has conceded to turning Windows into the OS equivalent to browser add-on malware.

I’ve tried both of them. Camtasia is a downloadable software whereas Hippo Video is an online video editing tool.

A wooden plank works great for me. I was using an onion as well once in a while. Or try both.

Try searching "wooden grill scrapers" on Amazon for example. Or if you don't like Amazon there are some other sites that sell those. I got mine from Canada, made from cedar and in addition to scraping the grill adds a tiny bit of cedar aroma.

No, "ordinary" negligence justifies a charge of vehicular manslaughter, which has lesser penalties than plain manslaughter.

Even then, it seems like many states require "gross" negligence, like speeding or intoxication to charge with a crime. Someone who simply "didn't see the pedestrian" but was otherwise following the law will likely not be charged with a crime. They'll get sued, of course.

Usually city core real estate is controlled by a small cartel of owners. They usually cover their carrying costs with parking, as the class-B office space is worthless from a revenue perspective in most places.

If it's a small/mid-sized city, sometimes these property guys get squeezed enough by periodic nuking of people at the local Bank of America/etc office that they actually need to do something with the property. Storage is great because it fits with commercial zoning has overhead similar to parking.
