I don’t think they mean literally SV the place. It’s like how “Wall Street” is used as a stand-in for the high finance industry in the US.
From what I understand "bioplastic" is just "plastic" made from non-petroleum sources. "Biodegradable" or "compostable" plastic is just microplastic particles held together with cellulose. Neither of these necessarily sound better for putting in my body.

That's a great point.

I need the protection. We don't need to go and start creating huge regulatory bodies around various industries, pitting one against the other. Make it so my information can't be captured -- or it can't be shared. Or make it so that keeping any information of mine past 30 days is a felony.

Then no matter who the businesses are, people can sue them and owners can go to jail.

Instead of trying to figure out exactly where the tech is right now, and how things might change? Bullshit. Protect me. With enough protections, the rest of it will work itself out.

So are you telling me that you can continue to enter wrong passwords while the phone is under a lockout period? And doing that will continue to extend the lockout period?

If so, that is an overlooked implementation bug. Apple should fix that.

You should not be able to extend the lockout period while the phone is locked out.
What troubles me about the Irvine case, is that it sounds like every other "concerned" group across the country when it comes to homelessness. No to tents, no to shelters in the neighborhood, no to homeless sleeping on the benches, etc. Everyone, it seems, wants the problem to go some place else, but no community, particularly in Silicon Valley, has stood up (to my knowledge and please correct me if I'm wrong here) that the homeless people of a community are PART of that community, and the community should embrace them, and integrate them.

Perhaps I'm overly optimistic...
Or a quote from The Life Aquatic: "Never mind how I found out. I'm a scientist."
I wouldn't say that they're "sad" about it but they clearly seem to put the effort to remove it, it's possible to find some pirated content (movies, music, TV footage etc...) but it's definitely a lot more difficult than any other streaming site I'm aware of. Go to a website like dailymotion if you want to see a "mind boggling" amount of pirated content (and even then, it's relatively tame compared to even smaller streaming sites).

It's a clearly a consequence of Youtube being owned by a tech giant and having such a high profile, all the right holders are willing to tell their lawyers to pull the trigger if they find their content hosted illegally on Youtube. It's probably easier and cheaper for Google to be proactive about it than dealing with the probably tremendous amount of complaints that would be generated if they waited for right holders to make a move.
I don't know much about the job market, I was talking about the internet in general. Too many applications are locked black boxes and reverse engineering them basically keeps them alive after their demise. However, not a lot of people actually put in the effort to reverse engineer this stuff, so keep up the good work for this stuff!
Do you have any idea how Circle works? I guess nobody knows it's blockchain-based because it's instant and has no fees, which doesn't sound like a blockchain. Are they just making a loss and swallowing all the risk (covering fees and transfering real cash before any blockchain confirmations) or is something else going on?
>Altering a single shot gun to use any form of Magazine or Clip is vastly more challenging than manufacturing a Magazine or Clip.

Requirements: usage of hand drill and screwing on 3D printed adapter. Only parts of a firearm that cannot be easily manufactured or endlessly modified in some random garage are the barrel and the chamber.

>As to 3 shots, a revolver that can't be rapidly reloaded is the kind of compromise that's worth talking about.

There are currently no revolver rifles manufactured. So it would be very bad deal for hunters.

Then there are revolver speed loaders and half moon clips. Those things are bloody miraculous. The difference between those and magazines is so small that some cops still use revolvers.

Have you looked at the statistics of how many people die in mass shootings and how many people die in single shootings? Also do you know how many shots is fired in average gunfight in US?

>Personally I don't think the full vs semi auto is generally a useful distinction because you quickly run out of ammunition in either case

We agree on this. I have shot full auto AK-47 and I could probably take out 6 people with single magazine while firing full auto because you easily waste about 5 rounds with every burst. Switch to semi auto and I could probably take out 25 people with that same magazine. Switching between targets usually takes equal amount of time regardless are you firing semi or full auto.
Follow your own argument. The government has spent its entire history, from 1801 (president John Adams) til today, persecuting people for suspicion of disagreement with the government.

Offhand, probably not.

First, because the amyloid hypothesis is specifically about Alzheimer's-type dementia, while alcohol appears to raise the risk of other dementia outcomes as well.

Second, alcohol appears to be a much larger risk factor than other serious sleep-deprivation or sleep-disruption situations from military service to insomnia, suggesting that it's acting by some other mechanism.

Obviously this is a hard answer since we don't actually know what causes dementia - at present, we can't even distinguish "sleep deprivation causes amyloid plaques which cause Alzheimer's" from "Alzheimer's causes sleep deprivation which causes amyloid plaques". But I think there's at minimum good evidence that sleep issues aren't the primary mechanism for alcohol to cause dementia.

Not all next-gen endpoint solutions do this. An endpoint application execution control can be much simpler.

1. Choose an existing trust list (over 1000 apps/dlls etc trusted) or build your own in a few minutes.

2. Install file filter driver - as soon as driver is installed on endpoint, instant protection, no scanning of drives, folders etc needed.

3. User runs a trusted app - intercepted at kernel, fingerprinted and matched allowed to run. Imperceptible to user.

4. Malware tries to execute - intercepted at kernel, check to see if on trust list, not on trust list - blocked.

5. Need to add a new trusted application? One click, no rules to amend, no whitelists to push to endpoints. All endpoints inherit new app trust and app can execute across global enterprise.

I'm not saying saving 10% is bad. It may be good enough to retire depending on when you start out. But it won't take you out of the middle class.

For most developers in my city, 10% means saving $7-10K a year.
I've been contemplating bringing my DE C corp into the Stripe Atlas umbrella. Is it possible to do so and BYOBA (bring your own bank account)?
OK, time to blow some karma. This is one of those “only on HN” posts. Seriously? “I have $500k income and $2M savings but I’m still not happy!”

Here’s some blunt feedback: get some perspective.

You can do pretty much whatever you want with that kind of coin. If you milked that job for a decade or so, you could retire in opulent luxury almost anywhere in the world. Hell, you could retire now and live modestly in a low cost area. Most people in the world couldn’t imagine having that kind of opportunity. I’d trade places with you in a heartbeat and so would 99% of the people reading this.

Stick with that $500k job that makes your feelings sad, and wipe away your tears with $100 bills. Sheesh!
I find the topic of insomnia fascinating because it's so alien to me. In the Stephen King's book "Insomnia", the main character explains that you being sleepy and tired can actually be uncorrelated. It's like saying that you can't drink water when you are thirsty.

It's so weird.
Thanks - those types of tips were exactly what I was looking for. I've had an idea for a webapp brewing on the side but wasn't sure how best to jump in, and also the main things to look out for when learning something new.
Yes, protects, it doesn't require them to. Facebook and its likes volunteering to destroy personal data on request really doesn't have anything to do with the first amendment at all.

Edit: come to think of it I'm not even sure it protects them, but again, it certainly doesn't require them to store or transmit anything.
You're correct in sentiment. But one can't git push to Linux master without having the patch reviewed and merged by a maintainer.
I remember the switch to CD was huge.

1995 I got Lands of Lore (the LoL of our time, hehe) from my uncle in a box of 5-10 floppy disks.

1997 I got one CD with about 20-30 games like WarCraft, Doom, Command&Conquer etc.

It was orders of maginitude bigger than what I was used to and only a few times smaller than my 2GB HDD at that time.

I only got that feeling again with my USB3 drive I bought 3 years ago that was 128GB big.

On the other hand it took a bunch of years till I could get my hands on a used CD burner, because they were so expensive and only a few kids at school could copies, most of them taking around $10 for a copy.

>The group noted that while fossil fuel plants still worked for short periods to complement the electricity supply, those were fully compensated by other periods of greater renewable production.

Portugal produced enough renewable energy in a month to cover their electrical demand for that month if the demand had been at convenient times. They also produced energy in non-renewable ways to meet short-term electrical demand within that month.
Can we please lump the data leaks of Equifax and the like in with the need for these new laws that shift user data from something companies are mining to something they are protecting and disclosing?
Yeah, I've quietly / privately worried about this as well. One watt lasers are easy to get. Though I think you're looking at way more than $500 for anything reliable. Thankfully there are international agreements against using these weapons on the battlefield.
It wasn't me that was shifting the burden of proof!

I don't think this is actually a contrarian view: "magic is fading, and the Elves cannot live in a non-magical, mechanical world; thus they leave for the West."

I think if you leap straight from old JS to ES6 it might leave you with some weird gaps, especially with regard to why some things got to be the way they are. A book I found very good on this score was:

What does it mean to be "blockchain-powered"? Your funding comes from tricking investors into thinking adding blockchain to every aspect of life is the future?
That’s one position, and you should strenuously fight to see it represented in Congress. By the same token you should accept that it’s almost certainly not going to work out that way, but it might be possible to reach a compromise with your points as central tenants. The argument that regulation should focus on areas where individual protections could fail, and the bulk of legislation should address privacy and data protection is a good idea.

Having said that, try to avoid phrases like, “the rest will work itself out,” which will turn off virtuallly everyone who doesn’t think exactly like you. Remember that this is now an issue the public at large is very interested in, and shape your words for public consumption.

Techdirt really doesn't live up to its name. When that site isn't actively avoiding major stories that make Silicon Valley megacorps look bad, they're busily defending the Surveillance Valley business model outright.

The "ISPs are bad, therefore Silicon Valley should be allowed to continue running roughshod over users' privacy" narrative is really idiotic. It tries to present this as a situation where we have a choice of either regulating ISPs, or regulating privacy-invading Silicon Valley surveillance corporations, but not both.

Edit: I just read the full article, and yes maybe my assumption wasn't charitable. That said, I had just got done reading this article where Mike Masnick encourages us to continue giving the benefit of the doubt to someone who has repeatedly violated trust for more than a decade, which left me assuming it would just be more of the same.

Fingerprints are usernames, not passwords (2013): http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2013/10/fingerprints-are-user...

edit: The original headline before being changed, "Web standard brings password-free sign-ins to virtually any site", and contained a paragraph espousing fingerprints in place of passwords.
The author never mentions this. The wording (purposefully or not) makes it seem like the upper 20% is purposefully racist and knowingly holding down the lower class.

From a conservation of mass standpoint, synthesizing methane would be better for the climate. The stored fuel represents temporarily sequestered carbon. The exhaust, whether the engine runs rich or lean, only represents carbon that was in the atmosphere before the Sabatier reaction was run. However, the total size of the launch vehicle market renders these speculations superfluous, for now.
>Reductio ad absurdum: a hitman's job is not to be concerned with the well-being of their targets, but to serve the paying client. This doesn't make killing people for money not evil, because the business model is inherently unethical.

There should be a Latin phrase for absurd analogies. The obvious difference between your scenario and the Facebook one is that the victim is an unwilling participant.

>Facebook is not non-evil for collecting user data to target their customers' ads. I think the entire foundation for their business is unethical.

On this you will find a reasonable split between those who agree and those who don't. It is not obvious that it is unethical.

Personally, I have no problem with them using the data to serve targeted ads. If I were to broaden it out, I do have ethical concerns about merely collecting that much data on a person and saving it. But my concerns are for use cases much worse than advertising.

But afaict, Android apps in Chrome OS need not be artificially blown up to full screen. They can run in a windowed mode, in an optimal size.

However, I don't see any technical challenges in supporting Electron apps as well, other than constraints in RAM, performance and security of the Electron platform.

If you retired with a family and have 38k and got $28.5k after tax. Do you know how much health insurance costs for a family? Property tax on a property that's $600k is not going to be cheap either.

> I think the entire foundation for their business is unethical.

Then much of modern business is unethical. What facebook is doing isn't very different from what newspapers do, what tv networks do and what much of tech does.

What do you think ABC, NBC, CBS, etc does? What do you think nytimes, washingtonpost, npr, etc does? What do you think google/youtube does? Even NPR sells "ads" to their corporate sponsors for "donations".

> for the data collecting they have pioneered and continue to do.

You are giving facebook far too much credit. They didn't pioneer anything. They are just the best at it. The business model that facebook excels in certainly predates its existence ( google did it before facebook ) and on a broader scale, predates facebook by decades.

The point should be that facebook should be forced to simply state what they are doing and collecting to each new user and the user should decide whether they want to use facebook's services or not.

Can someone fix the title please? It uses X-Plane in the singular 'X-Plane construction begins' rather than the title from the article which is more clear about this being the newest among many explains over the years.

I was thinking of the case where the encoding is being done by a centralized 'broadcaster', as opposed to individual users streaming from their own machines; for the latter case I agree with you.
ISPs are planning to get into the data game. They aim to have laws that limit SV type startups, rather than increase their future liability.
Thanks that's great :D I discovered JQuery a while back and it's been fun to use at work for simple dashboards - i.e. Build Status Page / Tests etc, but I figured that trying to keep track of all the DOM changes in a larger project would be a bit of a pain, so excited to learn some new stuff and the 'proper' way to do things.
About CD burners, I remember sharing one with a friend from the same building I was living, by encasing it on an external SCSI box. 4x speed, no less! It took me a while to realize that walking around on my room whilst burning a CD produced corrupted copies.

Yeah but there are only so many places where you can build a dam. And also the usual equation renewable = safe for the environment and humans doesn't quite work: as many other commenters have pointed out dams are very bad for the environment, and they sometimes kill a bunch of people too.

I think the problem is the roll back of net neutrality for ISPs and at the same time calling for regulation on content providers. It doesn't seem like these interests are protecting the citizens.

Anyhow, I do agree we should be protecting peoples right to privacy and unfettered access to the internet.
