The "party with a difference" and the self procliamed "transparent" party has reduced funding for RTI by 1/4th and almost all RTIs are rejected due to flimsy reasons.
This is true. I think the key is to find something that you really want to build. This is easier to do as a kid, because a lot more of simple things are exciting.
Exactly. This has happened to a friend. They were able to find my friend's name from Truecaller. Soon they started getting fake calls to get her account number or aadhar number. If my friend's aadhar data had been leaked (as has for thousands other), they were done for. Once your aadhar number gets leaked it gets leaked forever. There is no provision for the government to issue a new one and which is a fundamental flaw in the system.

Personally I found that Pandas was more easy to use than R, especially you can use the rest of python ecosystem for say interfacing with databases and data format conversations.
> But TV has a lot more money and will bleed out much slower.

As someone who's working in the field, would you say that would be a similar tragedy to the demise of newspapers? I have the impression that TV in general in the US (and not just local) is no force for good at best, and a propaganda and pacification machine at worst. Then again I never watched much TV and never lived in the US.
the problem would be that the miracle cure would be patented so others won't be able to work on it to bring the price down.
Lol when the media did their job for once after 2014, reporting on norav Modi

The govt intelligently stifled free speech by making good on the death of a film star. Tada! Nobody reports on Nirav Modi anymore

Also, the judge who found Salamn as guilty was transferred a day after he pronounced the statement and the other judge, presumably close to BJP gave Salman bail. 80other judgea are transferred

But does the media report on it? No
I use gandi as well for all my domains (about 100). But ever since they switched to the new v5 platform. I've been getting very inconsistent problems. I had to migrate all the domains to the new platform, but every so often I find some domains that haven't been migrated. All on the same account with different handles, which makes it hard to find the ones that haven't been migrated
WP7 and WP8 did not have it, but WM10 did.
+1 for the Dev env. I think one of the reasons I've stuck with WP this long is that I can quickly build apps for it using c#, or html/js.
I can see that people on HN blame other countries easily without any real evidence...
Sadly this book is probably of limited use because it doesn't appear to cover getting BLE (Bluetooth low energy) to work with Android and iOS.

Using BLE according to the standards is relatively simple if you have control over both ends of the communication link. Unfortunately in most cases you have a BLE device that you wish to talk to a smartphone or tablet. In this case you have no control over one end of the link because that is controlled by the smartphone chipset and the OS (Android or iOS). Getting BLE to work well and consistently across a range of smartphones and tablets is tricky because the API has changed between OS versions, with Android becoming more focused on preserving battery life rather than offering developers a way to make BLE work in the precise way they want. In addition chipset differences means even with the same version of the OS you get different behaviours especially when multiple BLE devices are involved.

Lots of the nice stuff in the standards flat out doesn't work with iOS and Android. Out of band pairing (except NFC pairing on Android) doesn't work meaning in most cases you have to revert to insecure pairing methods because your BLE device has no user interface.
No the market in it purest form is designed to allocate resources. However the market isn't pure & personal data shouldn't be considered first as a resource. At least you can take comfort in the knowledge that the GDPR is coming into force this year for any company doing business in the EU..
The current PM wants to use Adhar to turn India into 1984 Ocenia. No wonder he is shoving adhar down everyone's throats

I’m not the person you’re asking, but I was born in the early seventies and found 2001 to be incredibly boring when I finally saw it for the first time. Which was on the big screen, in my teens.
i suggest (as someone who still knows nothing about electronics) that oscilloscopes are a "must have." cathode-ray-tube style from ebay are more affordable.

That's not humanizing, it's slang. When describing some network operations non-technically, one might say that device A "talks to" device B
There are already standard protocols and data formats for transferring patient charts between providers within seconds. The standards actually work pretty well now and are supported by most major EMR applications. But many providers still haven't fully configured those features or linked their systems to existing nationwide health information exchange networks.
All kinds of other problems follow from not verifying the emails, for both the person who owns the email account and the person owning the Netflix account. In addition to this kind of targeted attack:

- When these accounts were active, I'd keep getting email from Netflix that I could not stop receiving.

- In the first two cases, I could have done a password reset on the accounts and just started using them. The original owner would have to continue paying for it, since they'd have no way to disassociate the CC from the account.

- In the third case the user didn't get the account back at all after forgetting their password (maybe no recovery phone number?). They lost all their viewing history and probably also ended up paying Netflix for service they had no way of using.

From a technical perspective, this email handling is total garbage. The only persons winning are on growth hacker scumbags who get to write slides every quarter about how they lose no customers in the email verification part of the signup funnel.
For some reason on Firefox mobile as soon as I load this page I get a drop down at the top with my search history.
Ironically, the patent licensing machinations have probably hastened Windows Phone's demise. IIRC at the time MS was making _billions_ (or at least hundreds of millions) off Android, more than Google itself. At some point MS execs must have thought, "why the hell do we need a phone that can't run Youtube"? It took some time for WP to die, but die it did, and I'm pretty sure it would not have died if succeeding in the mobile market was the only way to make money on mobile for MS. They would have poured billions into it, and it would take off. With the patents letting them suck the massive teat of Android they really had no skin in the game.

I worked at Google at the time, and I joked that if Apple were to go out of business and iPhones became unavailable, I'd have to go with a Windows phone. It was only partly a joke. WP had the consistency that Android never did, and never will have, and it had fluid, polished user experience even on the very low end.
Of course Adhar is good

But the shoving it diwn everyone's throats is a clear form of transforming this democracy into autocracy

Adhar is connected to your phone and internet and accounts. So if I make an anti PM statement, suddenly my bank account is frozen, electricity connection is gone (connected to adhar), my frying pan is connected to adhar so if I cook Poha, PM's sycophants can turn it into upma.

No tech is bad by its own right, the implementation is good or bad

And as far as 2014 implementation goes, adhar is bad
Interesting admit the freezes / reloads. I bought a 950XL that would restart constantly, at least once a day. A few weeks later i bought a 950 instead, for the smaller form factor. The 950 has zero issues. It has never once frozen or restarted. My point is, it's not Windows 10 mobile that caused that issue. You might have had a bad battery or device

I'm not sure if it's a film to watch with friends, at least not at home. It's a very visceral film, which needs close attention. Like the new Blade Runner, there are long periods without dialogue, slowly planning shots, and a lot of purposefully left out explanation of what is happening.

There's a whole universe in there. It's best watched alone in the dark.

I recently decided to ditch Gmail because I don't trust Google any more than Facebook. One nice side effect of this is that now that I'm using my own domain, all company signups can be to me@spam.domain.com, which is much harder to filter well.

Maybe it is no ones life dream to do it, but sometimes you just find a job and it happens to be something 'random' like this.

If someone asked me to work on this and gave me a huge salary, though, I'd gladly jump on it.
Um, you're a millionaire. Why don't you put up the money? Someone is paying for it. This is literally an ultra-wealthy person complaining that someone else won't pay for her friend's million dollar medical treatment.

It's fine if you want to argue for single payer healthcare. But where do you get off berating a non-charitable institution about covering their costs? They have their longevity to think about. If they simply gave everyone infinite treatment for free they wouldn't exist anymore.
Didn’t they have a commercial lease? Seems odd that they can just be kicked out because ownership of the building changed. Unless commercial leases work differently there than they do here (Australia)?

There is also BigBash [0] that converts an Sql statement to a bash one-liner (using sed, grep, awk,...) which can then run to execute the query.

You'd think majority people of at HH can do basic objective research and look beyond the FUD, but it seems not. Well, let me give you some facts, over the last two years Meteor added support for:

- Out of the box dynamic import https://blog.meteor.com/dynamic-imports-in-meteor-1-5-c61304...

- Importing NPM packages

- React, Vue, and Angular as view layers

- Latest release of Node JS: https://blog.meteor.com/announcing-meteor-1-6-abf30f29e2c6

- Galaxy hosting just for Meteor apps, but you can also deploy anywhere using MUP: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mup

- SSR: https://blog.meteor.com/meteor-platform-is-still-alive-5f642...

- Infinite out of the box reactive scaling using RedisOplog: https://github.com/cult-of-coders/redis-oplog

- Innovative data fetching using Grapher: https://github.com/cult-of-coders/grapher

- Ability to start minimal apps without DDP or Blaze (here meteor is just used as build tool)

- Many popular and active open source packages such as vulcan js and rocket chat, and commercially successful business Qualia with 32 million funding
https://www.housingwire.com/articles/42710-qualia-raises-33-...

- Being taught at universities https://blog.meteor.com/teaching-software-engineering-with-m...

There has been major FUD since 2015 when Meteor pivoted out of Blaze (original view layer which has been open sourced) to open up to the rest of the ecosystem and some folks were not happy with that so they wrote few articles which shaped a lot of the FUD we read about here. It's a fact that today Meteor is way more flexible, you can use it as a full-stack, back end or build tool only, and you can pick which area of the stack you'd like to leverage.

It's very active and still, by the far, the most started Node JS framework on Github, it's very mature and stable and growing everyday.
> b) SW Tech company solution is quick instant insurance signup with government or charity guarantee for some percentage of bill. The rest of the bill is dumped into CoveredCA or something else. And the patient is enrolled for 1 year after the fact and must pay premiums. ? There are probably better solutions.

CoveredCA kinda sorta does this already where if you get pulled into the system via a catastrophic diagnosis they will kick in and help spread the cost. However, I think that the hospital still winds up eating some chunk of the cost as well. The problem is that a doctor has to kick the process off and none of the doctors associated with the hospitals were going to do this.
First, a disclaimer that I'm the author of the e-book listed.

Yes, I agree that getting BLE to work with smartphones is not an easy task. The APIs are ever-changing and evolving and differ across different devices as well. In the end, though, they must adhere to the official specification and provide an interface to the underlying protocol.

There are many embedded developers that are looking to learn the protocol and don't know where to start (myself included, especially when I first starting learning the technology). The specification is quite overwhelming and there is a lack of resources that cover both theory and implementation together.

The book is targeted at embedded developers with the goal to help them learn the basics of the technology by guiding them through various exercises and examples. There are also many new use cases popping up where an embedded platform is used on both ends making the task easier (compared to pairing with a smartphone app).
I think people who are looking for data poisoning solution should install AdNauseam, immediately.

Another data point: I used to buy servers in Hetzner's auction by the dozens per month. It's very common that the servers will crash and need new HDDs or RAM. I never had a problem with support, but soon learned to treat those servers like cattle: if one is broken, return it and grab a new one.

They are worth it even if you have trouble, though. Just make sure you have a backup plan.

You are defending the position that we should let someone die because they don't have enough money to pay for medical treatment.

Are you really sure you want to go there?

Now, if you want to argue I would argue that why is this CEO letting a "friend" go without healthcare when CoveredCA has platinum plans at about $7000/year for an individual?

So, you’re just using the Pwned Passwords API?

Is there any actual value that you’re adding here?
Yes and maybe.

A lot of the BLE5 spec like 2Mbps transfers is negotiated, and Apple specifically has an interest in always choosing the fastest reliable speed or biggest MTU.

SO YES, you are currently at the mercy of Apple and Android to support BLE5 which iirc only iPhone 8/X do for Apple - and yes, it’s confused that to be a “BLE5” device you don’t even need to use all BLE5 features - but it’ll get there.

I’m shipping a BLE5 device soon, it’ll be 99% BLE 4.2 features, it’ll update as available.
This sort of reaction isn't specific to HN, unfortunately (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/08/08/ameri...) or even America (http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-43385677). It's a vulnerability in human tribal psychology that other folks have been exploiting for political purposes for centuries.

Even though the bug report is thousands of years old now, there's still no patch available. Some people think this means the maintainer has abandoned the project.
Please don't be fooled.

By you? :P Given the lack of real info all the rest is in my opinion belief. Or, at most, a semi-educated guess. So whether I believe you on this topic or any other opinion, I'd be fooled no matter what. Just saying 'I don't know' seems the easy and most correct way out here, for now.
Seriously? If you dont have enough knowledge to add value dont jump in.

Educate yourself.

Please don't use recovery Q&A.

As a user, I cannot trust that a website gets the recovery flow right. Some websites will allow you to bypass email and password if you know the answer to the question. Because of that, I cannot put in the real answer, as that would be a massive security risk.

So I usually put in some random garbage, which means it's essentially a second password. Well, if I lost my first password, chances are good that I lost the second password as well.

So please, don't do security questions. Just send a password reset link by email.

If you're worried about stuff like payment info stored in the account, just ask me to re-enter those details after I changed my password.
Back when I lived down there I'd go out to Mike's like once a month (lived over in Alameda, short bike ride).

Iran's gov, not it's people. The US faction in power in 1953 disposed Mossadegh, allowing a worse power structure to take hold. Pretty standard order out of chaos thing.

Because we had insanely good crash reporting and we root caused every crash report we got in that had more than half a dozen hits in the wild.

Hardware was at fault. Turns out suppliers push the truth a bit here and there about their chips, what is supposed to be an identical part # isn't always identical, parts from different manufacturers that are supposed to be interchangeable aren't, and technical manuals aren't always the best.

We had (what we thought was) rigorous memory testing in place at the factory, but under certain extreme conditions there was a 100% reproducible flip of a few bits in RAM. It was almost always the same bits, thankfully, that made it possible to track down!
I believe the title is clickbatey. The article clearly states that only 2% of affected devices were in Iran, while the Lion's share was in the US. Could someone fix this?

It's called being the new superpower on the block. Welcome to the party of relentless, global, 24/7 criticism, China. It's going to get dramatically worse with each passing year and every action taken (no matter what that is).

If they're already violently annexing territory 4x the size of Texas from half a dozen neighboring nations, imagine what they'll be doing with a $20 trillion economy and $500+ billion in military spending in about a decade. Who's going to restrain their behavior then? My guess is: nobody.
