Measure items using iphone camera and paper pattern
Hi Guys and Gals,
I have written a little iphone app (metoc) to measure things on the floor and vertical heights using just iphone camera. You need a printed paper pattern on the floor to give scale. Not as fancy as the VR apps, but works with still photos. Accuracy typically within 10th inch near the pattern and around 1-2 % further away (but not too far). Website is metoc.xyz
My mother in law is already paranoid, warning us not to talk about certain topics with her. Scary stuff.

I should point out that my MIL is a completely apolitical person who worked in the Chinese government for her entire career, spending most of that time just helping poor people, without a shred of corruption. She has nothing to worry about, doesn't care about politics, and even she's paranoid about this.

I was really angry about this, until I read that the disks had Microsoft and Dell logos.
As was pointed out elsewhere in this thread before your comment, you're also not allowed (as a refurbisher) to install a fresh copy of Windows without this media. The refurbishers are legally required to buy this $25 CD from Microsoft. So even though the $25 contains a new license, if they can buy it from this guy for $0.25, he is taking that $25 away from Microsoft.
God, I hope this never comes true.

Email is not the right medium for this. Stick to blogs and webpages for this instead.
Or Promise.all/Promise.reject for that matter.
samm we are indeed making all components that are not core gitlab services optional. You will be able to turn them off with a simple `prometheus.enabled=false`.

Thanks for giving the charts a try in alpha/beta, please pass along any feedback. We'd love to get it!
There is apparently a big divide between people who subvocalize when they read and those who don't. Those who don't tend to read much faster than those who do which is why speedreading techniques tend to focus on eliminated subvocalization. The problem is that people who subvocalize tend to need to do so in order to understand the text.

The bulk of those in Uganda are unbanked. Everyone here uses WhatsApp. Something like this would be a great way for me to pay contractors and domestic staff who right now only take cash.
I've had the dubious privilege of being around many college students, and in that experience the fact that they say something is true about markets or academia has very little relationship to whether it is actually true.
Google add ons is a poor excuse for extending Gmails functionality.

I tried to create a basic app a few months ago and it is extremely limited and feels very much beta.

An example: extending compose functionality in any way is impossible.

Add ons are limited to when the user opens an email, that's pretty much it. Try for yourself and see.
That's the thing, it doesn't. HTTP2 Push is one of the big "open field" of HTTP2, and to know whether a document needs to be pushed will rely on good heuristics and black magic.

There is however a small standard that's emerging, pioneered by h2o, called casper (https://h2o.examp1e.net/configure/http2_directives.html#http...). The idea is that all resources ever sent to the client are stored in a probabilistic data structure in a cookie. On every request the structure is sent back to the server, which can then check whether the resource has good chances to be already known by the browser.

By the way there are some benchmarks done by h2o's author here: http://blog.kazuhooku.com/2015/10/performance-of-http2-push-.... The conclusion is all yours.

These are all modern economies, most of which operate immigration-friendly regimes. Sweden, Netherlands, Switzerland, Iceland, Denmark, Norway and Finland are all signed up to freedom of movement, which doesn't discriminate on the basis of religion, ethnicity or place of birth, provided you are a citizen in the EEA or Switzerland, or if you are married to such a citizen.

Anyway, the point is not that diversity cultivates happiness (no simple answer to that), the point is that some people believe in keeping communities homogeneous and argue that this promotes happiness. That happiness boost is nowhere to be seen when looking at real world examples.
Oh man, that hurts to read. That's some wishful thinking there. I'm currently helping a division of the Air Force replace a legacy flash application that they've spent years trying to keep going.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 3.2.36 Full Crack License for Mac
Your misunderstanding what DNS(SEC) does.

DNS resolves myetherwallet.com to 1.2.3.4. This is valid & signed. Your browser does a request to 1.2.3.4. Attacker need not interfere with DNS.

Thanks to the BGP leak the attacker controls 1.2.3.4. The request is still going to him.

This is misleading. They are not expanding it which is different from ending it. The headline also leaves an implication that they have a reason for it. They have no results from the experiment that I can see (for good reason, they are still collecting data, nobody sane believes that the experiment ran long enough to prove anything about if it is a good idea or not)
Was about to go searching for this, thank you for the link!
I’m wondering if some promise/future systems already provide a similar guarantee. The main useful property of the nursery system is that a function’s signature indicates whether that function leaves a background task running. If you can guarantee that promises/futures are dropped if they go out of scope, then you get a similar guarantee. Similarly, if you have a system where promises don’t actual run their background parts unless someone is waiting for them, then there are no leaky background tasks.

It's quite weird for Steven Spielberg. I thought he isn't one of those backwards thinking legacy execs. I guess he is.

All of this has nothing to do with evaluating art, but it's simply a jerk reaction of legacy distribution business to innovative disruption. Film directors should know better.
Judges do not actually think about maximizing federal tax revenues when making their decisions. There might be something else that is going on to result in that, but judges have absolutely no incentives in that direction.
I'd suggest changing the title to "Show HN: Metoc, Measure items using iPhone camera and paper pattern" and making this story link to "http://metoc.xyz" instead of listing this introduction. That might allow your project to get a little more attention.

Cool stuff!
Quebec Writers Group Calls for an End to Copyright Exceptions
The issue with the AoE is the lack of practice problems and references when questions arise. For instance it's MOS and BJT parts glaze over how multi-stage amplifiers chain together and how the choice of one can effect the later (e.g. how your buffer effects source-follower).

Theory is good, but seeing how the implementation works is just as important and the AoE can glance over that because it's a sort of book of everything.

In short, it's a great reference manual and I have to sasy it's my favourite thing to start any question I have with, but for a beginner they need something that allows them to practice not just read about it.

Interesting. This is the single feature I hate most about gmail. It keept misclassifying important emails and I missed deadlines for taxes, payments, etc. I ended up having to read "All-mail" to avoid missing stuff.
Immigrants do put pressure on housing and health services though. As well as directly causing job losses by dumping wages.

Of course, a magical policy may have stopped those issues. But taking in a lot of immigrants and not changing policies accordingly is what causes havoc.

After using Redux for a while, I realized that I was creating a lot of boilerplate to essentially (1) update an immutable store and (2) pass that store's state to (a)sync callbacks that execute in serial before and after the store was updated.

This lead me to the creation of DotStore (https://github.com/invrs/dot-store#readme), along with extensions to use it with React [1] and the filesystem [2].

"Dot prop" strings have proved to be an elegant solution to detect which props changed on the store. Usually this means doing a regex match in `shouldComponentUpdate`. We almost never use React's state anymore.

I've heard it is good, though I don't think it was available at the time I was using the Mozart. What I did have was "Orange maps":

This was OK when it worked, but it had a habit of freezing the phone and requiring a reboot. Also, it would refuse to start if there was no mobile signal, so I would frequently have to drive a few miles from my destination (I always seemed to end up somewhere with no signal) before I could start navigating home.
I don't recall agreeing to a license when downloading restore images?

Presumably customers not receiving a restore image can now reclaim $299 from Microsoft as that is judged the value of the disc that was not included with their license purchase. Or indeed send back the install disc for at least a 50% refund.

Just think how much money MS would make buying back install discs for $150. /s (yes, that's right, at least -$150 per disc).

Crazy. That judge needs firing, or the person who put them in charge of this case does.
This isn't about whether you agree or disagree with KDW. It's about the cowardly smearing he endured and the fact that Jeff Goldberg, the so called "editor-in-chief" of The Atlantic, is not really the editor-in-chief at all, his staffers and the Twitter mob are.

People are forgetting that KDW did NOT apply to work at The Atlantic, he did NOT actively set about getting a job there, he was contacted and recruited by The Atlantic, by the so called "editor-in-chief", they WANTED him there and extended him an offer.

His comments and views about abortion were public; he didn't mince words or attempt to conceal or walk back his comments. Knowing all this, the Atlantic extended him an offer, and then dumped him when the twitter mob went berserk.

They smeared KDW, they gave into the mob, they acted like cowards, and they should be shamed for publicly ridiculed by by sides of the political aisle for their behavior.
When you add in queues for passing things back and forth between the async functions, I think this boils down to an Actor model. The nursery would be equivalent to supervisors in Erlang.
I think the opposite, redux-form for example is an over engineered way to handle forms. And not let me talk about react-router-redux.

This is actually my problem with redux - developers tend to put everything in the store.
Sounds straight out of Black Mirror
Unfortunately this is an area where copyright law is not up to date with regards to installation media for software with built-in DRM regimes.

The value of Windows installation media is the cost of the disk it is burned to + the time it takes to burn unless there's an associated license (or a crack bundled that would let you bypass activation, which got laughably easy post-Windows 8 because of the new SLIC activation scheme).

Unfortunately, copyright law doesn't care - the copies were made, and the copies were distributed, unless the license explicitly allowed such copying Lundgren was in the wrong in the eyes of the law. Ironically, the same thing applies to the Windows 8/10 installation media you can download directly from the Microsoft website - though you can get it for absolutely free the license still prohibits distribution.
When technology becomes eco-friendly with a new travel companion
Hi everyone,

My name is Leo. I am Product Manager at Maison Z Paris, a parisian startup incubated at Station F, world's biggest incubator, within the Fashion Tech program.
We are specialized in high-tech devices, born for travellers. Our difference is to adopt an ethical and durable approach for our first creation, EvaZion.
EvaZion is the easiest way to transform your travel experience! The first multifunctional powerbank lighter, born for travellers! It is tiny and eco-friendly!
The lighter is removable and transportable by plane.
It is also equipped with a fake money detector and a torch light.
It uses only noble and natural materials such as an innovative textile made up from pineapple leather, and French Sycamore wood, from sustainably managed forests.
An important thing to say is that we use only cruelty free materials.
It is designed and crafted in Paris by renowned craftsmen, to ensure their rare know-how is passed down from generation to generation.
We hope to raise awareness at our scale and that a growing number of people will be sensitive to our values and our societal commitments.

We aim through our approach to meet the growing consumer needs for a better product traceability, as well as for purchasing products which bear meaning and enhance values that are dear to them. A product must be today a reflection of someone's personality, commitments, beliefs and values.

Thus, I started this discussion so as to be able to share our points of view about new technology trends, especially for making it greener and more respectful of the natural ecosystems. I would be glad to get feedbacks about our brand DNA, values and our creation EvaZion.
As a startup, we are seeking to improve ourselves everyday and to meet the public expectations for new innovative products.

I wish you all a great day,

Leo

> you can have a business model that is ethically and morally wrong without getting into jail

Rule of law. You go to jail for breaking the law, not for being unethical or immoral. Societies which forget this distinction fall fast. (Legislation, turning morals and ethics into laws, is the intermediating process your complaint more properly addresses.)
Just because the feature isn't valuable for your personal use case doesn't mean it isn't valuable. I share my location several times a week. It's especially useful in areas where street addresses don't follow a logical order (or are nonexistent altogether).

I want to be able to share my location with Google so that they can share it with one of my contacts. I then want Google to discard that information. I don't want them to share it with other parties unless I consent specifically to each instance. My consent should be informed (a lot of problems would be solved if we just held businesses to higher standards in terms of disclosing their business practices).

I'm even OK with certain exceptions that are consistent with principles that Western civilization is built on. For example if Google retains that information for a period of time solely for the purpose of complying with a lawful search by the police, for which a warrant was obtained based on a reasonable and specific suspicion, I'm OK with that.

We don't need to throw the baby out with the bath water.
> I only see his nursery as being useful when you really want your async tasks to complete before the function in which they were dispatched returns. That's far from covering every use case of concurrency!

His section "There is an escape" answers this criticism: "The nursery object also gives us an escape hatch. What if you really do need to write a function that spawns a background task, where the background task outlives the function itself? Easy: pass the function a nursery object."

He goes on to explain a bit more, but one of his points is what really ties this abstraction back into the goto discussion: "Since nursery objects have to be passed around explicitly, you can immediately identify which functions violate normal flow control by looking at their call sites, so local reasoning is still possible."

> A lot of the value of concurrency is in background operations. These simply can't be tied to the duration of a function call on the dispatch thread.

I think they can: applications with background threads would have an outer-level nursery at whatever "main" is for them, and that nursery would be passed into whatever function needs to spawn a background thread.

Fuck you US Government is more like it.

Oh, and the assholes that vote these idiots into office over and over again. I don't care if it's Pelosi/Boxer or Inhofe/Cruz, they all are pieces of shit.
When people talk about religious tolerance in the US as an issue, they usually are referring to letting white evangelicals get their way politically and culturally. For instance, I know many people who feel their religious liberty was infringed when gay marriage was legalized, but also voted for a guy who called for the "complete and total shutdown of Muslims entering the US".

It's not about religious liberty as a concept or ideal. It's about I win You lose.
Yeah, forget that phony "Credit Lock" that Experian has been peddling. Stick with the "Credit Freeze".

Good point. If they really asked what they want (it wasn't an XY question), I don't think "don't do that because it is bad" should be accepted as an answer, since it isn't, and it doesn't help.

It is the OP which decides what it the accepted answer though, but the community should not upvote unhelpful answers.
> This is just intolerance, aka bigotry, with extra steps.

Here we have the classic case of interpreting a definition so loose that it gets useless. Everyone is intolerant of something. I'm intolerant of murderers, so by that textbook definition I'm a bigot, but then everyone would be a bigot and we end up with a synonym for "human" - Is that helpful in a discussion?
That can be fixed.
This seems to be a great balance between helping new banks get off the ground while keeping a tight oversight regime in place. For an interesting example of what happens when you deregulate your banking sector too much: I remember doing research on the Ukranian banking sector about 10 years ago, there were over 900 banks in operation. Many of them seemed to be oligarchs setting up banks and leveraging their capital to lend their own/their friend's corporation a ton of money. The borrower would then simply default on the loan and the bank would go bankrupt...

Facebook is a monopoly? That’s absurd. Google also isn’t a monopoly. A monopoly doesn’t mean “big with lots of users and few competitors.” A monopoly is when a company is the exclusive provider of a service or a trade.

Bing, Duck Duck Go, Fastmail, Protonmail, iCloud, Vimeo

Twitter, Ello, Signal, 500px

It isn’t like Google and Facebook control access to steel thus making it impossible to build a new product.

So yes, you can just not use the service. I don’t use Facebook, Insta or What’s App anymore. No big deal for me at all; I just asked actual friends on Facebook for their email addresses. I share photos with iPhoto shared galleries, I use iMessage or Signal, I use Twitter.

Suggesting that we are obligated to accept terms and conditions is nonsense.
no, in this case, the attackers controlled the IP address of the DNS server, not of 1.2.3.4 (the actual web server)

The article is missing the forest for the trees. Hollywood isn't snubbing Netflix (in my opinion, anyways). Hollywood is all about the cinema and the theatrical release. It is a completely different experience streaming a movie at home than going to see it in the theatre.

Netflix makes movies to keep people subscribed. Hollywood makes movies to get people to the cinema. On the surface, it looks like they're in the same business, but the products are engineered differently for different purposes. It makes sense to keep these in separate buckets; they are rated by different metrics.
Yes, exactly. The RFC I linked to specifically refers to Authenticated Denial in the Security Considerations section.
That's not how it works. You don't have to be Steven Spielberg to dislike some Hollywood movie. How is this fallacies called?

But I burn through the handful of Netflix shows I really like in a day or two, and then spend months in between them hoping they bring Futurama back.
> there were 28,000 discs with Microsoft and Dell logos which can be used to to install functioning Microsoft software

I thought those discs could only “install functioning Microsoft software” if provided with a valid license key, a key Lundgren didn’t provide nor purport to provide. The “$25 infringement amount” seems like a bad comparison since those disks include a license key. Lundgren’s did not.
