My argument was against it being an obvious default.

The notion of real border control is barely 100 years old.
> there was a team inside Toys 'R' Us that was trying to clone Amazon's e-commerce success

If we flipped roles, with the team inside Toys 'R' Us trying to control costs before the PE firms came in and tried to make Amazon competitor, it would sound equally damning.
I believe it's called XProtect. It checks files with known virus signatures.
My approach as well, except I don't deal with offline HDD, I keep all my photos in Google Photos, offline docs in Google Drive.

Unless you are a professional film editor or photographer there is no need for RAW images (and even then, it's arguable), which is the main space sucker. The $10 a month to have Google manage it all for me is totally worth it.
I would not have noticed, if a couple a days ago I wouldn't find VLC on the stick anymore.
I don't think it's unfair to say that the proponents of a technology that does not yet exist have the burden to prove that it's superior to the technology that does exist and work today. "Imagine if you could fork Amazon" is not a reasonable premise.
That's not at all how selling a house works. When the price of your home changes, you pocket or lose the entire difference when you sell it. Your loan amount doesn't change with the housing market.

>We used to have to contend with dishonest people editing context out

Any reporter relying on unnamed sources is selectively editing context out, whether complicity or not. It's the price you pay for access.
"Open banking" won't do the work for you. The work of paying attention to your finances and keeping your spending under control. HoneyMoney tries to help with that.
That's the same problem I have with a lot of hobby projects I think of doing. There's always a cheaper or more time efficient way to do things.
I'm surprised this article does not mention Max Schrems, who requested all data Facebook had on him in 2011:

> He later made a request under the European "right to access" provision for the company's records on him and received a CD containing over 1,200 pages of data, which he published at europe-v-facebook.org with personal information redacted.

(See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Schrems.)
Of course it could happen.

But we've had open source alternatives for many of these things for many years, and no company has gone to support any of them.

There's no company backing mastodon, and very little support for similar tools.

Of course it could happen. But it's not happening.
Well, you seem to forget that China is a communist country currently lead by someone sworn for life. See how the political landscape changed for Hong Kong to understand what kind of influence it may have in Europe.
Conflict management - engineers inevitably have conflicts on ideas, sometimes feeling very strongly about the solution. One skill I expect from a tech lead/manager is the ability to facilitate/foster the tough conversations for resolving these conflicts, and making sure all viewpoints felt heard & satisfied over the process.
reminds me I often enjoy virustotal as a serious check for some files.
So, you (and the author of this article) are complaining both about the people lending money losing out, and also complaining that Bain et al spent too much money paying the loans back?
Keyframe is only half creepy. The left eye was the one filled in by the algorithm. The right eye is filled in similarly a few seconds later. For human faces it seems to substitute very generic replacements of features (and take no more cue from the surrounding photo than: eye shaped thing should go here, chin shaped thing should go here, brown hair should go here, etc. The video is definitely worth watching. For human faces it seems to take less cue from surroundings than inanimate scenes. Although it probably just seems that way because we are so sensitive to peculiarities in images of the face.

Edit: it's somewhere between a surrounding texture fill and a semantic / context based reconstruction. Texture fill would produce blank skin for an eye. Ideal reconstruction would take into account appropriate wrinkles, symmetry, expected bone structure. It works better for still life / scenes than for faces.
The hottest time of day is 3:00 PM and, due to heat-lag, the hottest time of day _inside_ a house is a little bit after that. Since I set the thermostat higher while I'm gone during the day, this means the house can be roasting by the time I return and require 3-4 hours of AC for it to get more manageable.

And no, our washing and drying can not be done on a weekend. We have 3 kids and if we waited for a weekend to do our laundry then that is the only thing we'd be doing all Saturday long.
It's a PITA, but it works and it's a universal standard (in Germany, that is).

I'll take that over a proprietary API or an untrusted 3rd party wrapper.

$2.3k/year in reinvested dividends.

$18.5k contribution + $10.5k employee match + $2.3k dividends. The dividends are like an additional 7% bump in contribution.
Please try to track the context of an argument. You're ignoring the part where simias was responding to a post which stated that blockchain is "totally accurate [and] reliable", which is in complete contradiction to your view that it's GIGO.

There's no need to divest entirely, assuming a reasonable portion (say, no more than 3-5%) of total holdings is in company stock. That said, I have heard someone in my company say they refuse to invest in tech stocks at all, because they're concerned about a sector-wide downturn taking out both their job and their investment gains. I think that's a bit of an extreme position, but I understand where it's coming from.
One point that is often lost on the discussions of fake video/"deepfake" is that this development won't only make it easier to fool people into believing something that's made up, but it might also make people more distrustful of things which are actually true.

When it's been spread out enough that anything can be doctored to an indistinguishable extent, everything becomes deniable by those being caught, and the skepticism explosion is going to raise the bar for investigative journalism / actual evidence to standards high enough that few will have the resources to produce them.
I, too, was expecting instructions on how to control dreams. It's something I can do with varying success when I become aware that I'm dreaming, and I was hoping that this might help me improve the chances of becoming aware that I was dreaming.
Best Buy hit by [24]7.ai data breach, too
There's a rule against excessive negativity but respectful, constructive criticism is an important role that HN plays here. Here's a feature that wades into what is arguably browser vendor territory, rethinking the way that hyperlinks work.[1] Is it a good pattern we should adopt throughout the web?

Does its on-by-defaut nature disrupt the reading experience? Does summarizing linked content have problems? What about mobile (now approx. half of traffic and growing)?

I see a few comments using the word "hate" but for the most part the negative ones are just critical, with supporting points. I think a fundamental design pattern like this is worth some scrutiny alongside the support.

[1] Case in point: Safari implemented a feature similar to this a few years ago. It works generally across all sites, uses reserved gestures (3D Touch on mobile, 3-finger-tap on desktop) to gives users full control, and sidesteps the whole summarization problem by using more screen real estate to just show a bigger preview.
Poorly performing companies going out of business in order for new, better companies to flourish is a necessary step for the creation of a healthy job market.
Wikipedia says the Vestas V164, with upgrades, is the largest at 9MW.

As someone else said GE has a 12MW in development, and I swear I've heard announcements about 10MW and 11MW prototypes.

"Headlines are still set by hand."

I now understand where the word "typesetting" comes from.
I think it's funny you were immediately downvoted for this. It betrays this crowd as a population that largely hasn't experienced the kind of the politely-expressed but openly hateful things that are passed off as challenging. Or how quickly people berate groups as delicate because they meet for the purposes of not feeling like shit for a few hours.
This particular company was strategic as it served as a competitive counterbalance to discounters and online stores.

The impact of the death of ToysRUs will be significant to the toy industry as a whole, as Walmart/Target only devote a couple of hundred linear feet to toys, and Amazon has killed the little shops that powered the long tail.
Hope this catches on. Now have a pixel 2 XL which I love but still carry an iPhone mostly for iMessages.
Because the Constitution doesn't mention race. It merely states that a non-free individual was counted as 3/5 of a free individual for purposes of the population census, which was used to determine proportionate representation in Congress. Native Americans were excluded from the census entirely if they weren't tax paying residents of a state.
It's like saying that because windows are transparent, it is ok to stare into people's living rooms. It's not - irrespective of transparency or lack of curtains.

Nope. When you enter someone else’s place of business, you have no expectation of privacy. These websites belong to private entities. So it’s more like saying that because you voluntarily walked into my store, it’s ok for me to observe your behavior while you’re there. Which, of course, is completely logical and acceptable to most people.

Don’t want me to track your behavior while you’re in my store? There’s a very simple, 100% effective solution for that: don’t enter my store. Because if you do enter, you have no right to complain that I’m observing you.
add up all their expenses on all their 10k's and you have a baseline starting point.
Fascinating. I have a keen interest in Shamanism and more patience for "woo-woo" here than most. Navigating your dream state is a mighty Shamanic concept. It is one of two Shamanic practices that people here will entertain. The other is the idea of the memory castle.

New technological approaches like this will help us peel back the veil of the tangible, 'ordinary' realities of which we are comfortable. The world will be a much more funky and weird place once we realize there are non-ordinaries realities that we can explore, too.
Until now I never knew that there was a name for "hypnagogia". For most of my life, I was never able to remember this period of sleep, but over the last few years that has changed (not intentionally, so I don't know what changed in my body to cause the difference). I've developed some level of awareness during it and can wake myself up from it, then remember at least some of it. If you've never experienced it, it's like every part of your brain is talking to every other part of your brain, and you have many bizarre connections of thoughts happening in parallel. It's different than a normal dream, where it seems there is only one "thread" running at a time.
> Surely you don't run 2 loads through your washer and dryer _EVERY_ day, do you?

No, but I need to be able to _any_ day, and honestly for us doing 2 loads a day happens very often - it's not an edge case for us. If you're befuddled as to how that is possible, join the club.

As for shifting our day's schedule around electricity rates, good luck bringing that idea up with my wife.
Yeah, I ran their free trial and had a good experience. I did the same kind of tests you did, but I still don't feel comfortable with it. It's just too slick. That mixed with the fact that their entire team is Russian nationals... I dunno. Too sketchy.
Unlike flask and OP's solution sanic seems to have a saner API without global request object.
The article, beginning with the title, makes it seem as if "vulture capitalists" were benefiting by feasting on Toys R Us. In reality, they lost a big pile of money by buying a company for $1.3B, which eventually became ~worthless via bankruptcy. They made a bet which failed, and paid the price for it, so I don't see any purpose in kicking them while they're down. I'm not sure how much money the creditors lost, but they knew exactly what they were getting themselves into, so it's hard to have much sympathy for them.

Presumably, these "vulture capitalists" could only afford to make such a bet, because they had historically succeeded more often than they failed. If you're going to deride Bain/KKR as being bad for the economy, because of this failure, you should also have the intellectual consistency to compliment them for their successes in previous leveraged buyouts.
Ask HN: What are the smartest people you know working on?
I've been afraid of this for years.

I guarantee you that there exist (or will exist) highly profitable consultancies which specialize in faking evidence. Just think about how easy it would be to launder a million here, a million there, disguised as legal fees in some of these large cases.

We're approaching the limits of the traditional legal system with human juries. I don't how to solve this in the long term. I'll speculate that the solution will involve blockchains and a new, more minimal, totally decentralized legal system.

Got any links to articles to walk through getting this set up?
Any system sufficiently complex to replace programming is indistinguishable from a poorly written and designed programming language. It's the same broken thought process that leads to business rules engines which themselves always end up being maintained by a specialized programming team. You can't magic away the skills and requirements that necessitate a programmer, you can merely make the programmers job easier or harder.
As far as I'm concerned, anything not open source is a virus.
For the past 200 years at least most people's existence has gradually become dependent on longer, complex and fragile supply chains. The recent experience in Puerto Rico is a pretty stark example of what can happen when this complex infrastructure breaks down. Food security, power security, medical security and transportation security can all disappear in pretty short order.

Much of the speculation regarding the human near future presumes this trend will continue but perhaps it's about to reverse. In particular, solar panels and battery powered machines (with storage) might reduce this supply "separation anxiety" quite a lot.

Producing and using electric power locally will clearly negate the long fossil fuel and electric transmission infrastructures.

Electric machines (including cars, planes etc) are also much more reliable and require much less maintenance than their internal combustion cousins.

So imagine you're in your home and hurricane Maria strikes but once it's gone you feel confident your fridge, car, plane (vtol), water pump and internet will continue to work for at least six months without problem. It's much different daily context that what almost everyone lives with these days, excepting those who live on sailboats.
It's not uncommon for outside temperatures in Texas to stay above 80F (27C) until midnight during the summer months. The modern homes there are designed to stay sealed, rather than open windows for ventilation at night. Running AC every ~45 minutes until morning is considered the norm.
> they are saying they are working on it but they haven’t delivered in 3 years

The CommandLine blog is a fascinating read of Microsoft's progress over the last three years:

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/

They've delivered a lot (much of it WSL-driven now that Linux apps run inside it more often), even if they haven't added your particular wishlist items.

For revamping a part of Windows that had almost died on the vine, they seem to be doing a fascinating job, over the last few years, even within Windows' strong mandate to maintain backward compatibility at all costs.
Do you buy toys? Amazon is almost always the most expensive retailer.
As I recall, it's about a suitcase. Every word begins with K, which is a common letter in Hungarian. The second link you give has images of many translations, including the Hungarian one. I'll see if I can get my friend to send me a literal translation.
Until this weekend, the weather in OR has unvariably been: rain. It'll probably be back to that by the end of the week.

I once considered doing a project similar to this one, using an esp8266, but decided against it since it would be too depressing.
You're missing facts that change the whole picture.

Cloud services are required to use Google services & devices. G had to choose between giving China everything or withdrawing from the market.

Cloud services are an add-on to Apple's products. The iPhone is still useful without enabling anything from iCloud. Cloud services are optional with the iPhone.
Ownership is recorded publicly at the Land Registry. This table was a list of vacant properties and their owners, which is potentially far more sensitive.
I don't consider 20% as having all the eggs in one basket. I sold it all at $80 years ago, thinking it was too high (it was at $20 when I started in mid 90's). I'd be up several $100k if I had not sold it.
I feel like framing your first sentence and put it a place where I can see/show it everyday !
Eh, your "not as dumb as you think" is unnecessarily hostile. Also, nobody except you was calling people dumb, it's some weird rhetoric.

But I will say that I regularly help people including my parents who are tricked by those fake download-button ads. I'm not calling them dumb -- you were in your own premise. But that's one avenue for people to install malware on their computer.

"Don't worry about it, people don't get tricked!" is just false.
Just to clarify: under Brandenburg v. Ohio (395 U.S. 444 (1969)), such speech can be punished (by the government) only if it is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action"; abstract advocacy of illegal violence is protected speech.
A good trick is to set the scopes persistence to infinity and leave the thing running over the weekend.

HoneyMoney is built on Rails too, btw.

Envelopes are used for splitting money by purpose: for planned expenses, for unplanned expenses, for goals, for funds.

No, it's not double accounting internally.
There's some data available from the Land Registry[0] but the data leaked seems to include the addresses of people who own vacant property (so a different address to the property itself), which I would not expect to be freely available.

Back when I was a kid in the late 90's I followed the emerging .COM boom and stock market avidly. I kept a virtual stock portfolio of companies I'd invest in if I could. General Magic was in there. Like many promising companies at the time though, it didn't survive the crash, so my stock pick turned out not so good (good thing I was only playing pretend). Nice to see they weren't completely forgotten though.
How to Dress Like a Billionaire
I agree with this wholeheartedly.

As an engineering candidate, how do I display these traits?

As an interviewer, how can I test for these traits?
I'm curious, what were the worst parts about that experience? Was it the limitations of what was possible on those platforms, or were things possible but just too unwieldy? Can you imagine a scenario in which it didn't suck?
Bitcoin seems to me to be the least scummy of all these new distributed ledger ideas. What kind of use cases for a blockchain do you see as better/more useful/less scummy than currencies?
So far my corporate Mac antivirus has only blocked iOS apps that I personally built and it completely breaks the iOS simulator. It has caused me hours of headache and it regularly locks up my machine to the point that I have to restart it almost daily.

All of the things you mentioned can be stopped using far less intrusive methods than an always on, always scanning, antivirus.

The usual excuse given for requiring an antivirus is PCI compliance.
No you can’t. Unless you want to chat with yourself. These things only work if everyone is using them without extra effort. That’s the point.
The Software Heritage archive
I’ve worked for a company that had a significant need for developers (18% growth per week sustained over three years). Most of the needs were not addressed by product team because no one had to time to notice them. So, some of the guys decided to use no-code tools to set up processes: Google Docs, Zappier, IFTTT were popular, connected haphazardly to the Reporting tools -- up to a point where half of the process complexity was hidden in those areas that the CTO had no idea existed.

Was it good, scalable, usable? Not really, it was a heart-stopping inconsistent mess, but it held while the company was hiring. It gave to the newly hired product managers patterns to follow, experience in which processes to follow, impact estimates of what needed to be prioritised.

I’ll readily agree that the circumstances were exceptional, and the communication with the product teams could have been more helpful, but the no-code approach provided prototyping. I can imagine a tech lead push back on some requests by asking project managers to implement some options with no-code tools and come back with more insights, before committing developper time.
TOY shares had fallen from $40 to the low teens by 2004. By announcing a sale of the toy business, the stock rebounded and ultimately the sale to private equity closed at $26.75 per share. That Board knew they had a declining asset on their hands and sold out, at a large premium, rather than watching their equity slowly decline over the next decade.

Anyone who despises private equity should be celebrating this story, in this case, KKR/Bain/Vornado were the suckers in the deal, they bought the rotten apple and suffered massive losses because of it.

I picked up one of those aliexpress "Saleae logic analyzers" a while back. It's obviously a knock-off, but it works really well, though I've never tried to use it at its advertised max supported frequency (2MHz), most of the stuff I do is < 1MHz.
Any good tutorial? why are they not in the store?
Also silly unfalsifiable argument without any external reference frame. It might well be that the universe is ultimately incompatible with sentient life, just incidentally appears as such in the current timeframe.

The simpler version of it is "God's will".

Quote from the article:

> “Employees need to think very carefully about investing their own money beyond 10% in company stock,” said Corey Rosen, founder of the National Center for Employee Ownership, a nonprofit that works with companies. “If you are looking at retirement, then diversification is a good thing.”

The whole article seems to be "People trusted GE stock way too much; it went down and they lost massively". This is another reason to be informed and proactive about the basics of finances and where your money really is. Perhaps I sound too harsh, but I simply fail to understand how all these people thought that holding 6 figure amounts in a single stock was a good idea? I just do not get it... wouldn't any financial planner have recommended diversification?
> I'll speculate that the solution will involve blockchains and a new, more minimal, totally decentralized legal system.
