Same thing here. Maybe because I read literature more than poetry growing up, but it's all in the story for me. Poetic writing "gets in the way" of the story for me.

I've been punched in the gut by a story but yea, not a thing from a poem. Not ever. Maybe a good monologue in a movie, sure, but not because of the poetry of it, just the acting.
Um, no. The updated Go logo is a refresh of the original Go logo when the language was first introduced.

SSNs are sequential; the numbers adjacent to your own are valid. Surely you cannot bypass data privacy requirements by applying a trivial and reversible transportation like +/- 1, so knowledge of your own social security number would be illegal under your logic.

It doesn’t make sense to think of SSNs as stolen identities unless the thief knows the names associated with them.

Haha, I feel the EXACT same way about modern art! My instinctual reaction is just like I said - "am I the only one who is noticing the emperor is naked?" But experience has tempered my arrogance so I want to work a couple more years on "getting" giant white canvases splattered randomly with paint before I just dismiss it all forever.
When I was in college in the mid-80s, my mom already had many years of experience as an HR professional. I never forgot the rules-of-thumb that she taught me:

90% of all successful placements come from people who have personal contacts with the hiring manager or somewhere else at the place doing the hiring.

90% of the remainder (9% of the total) come from headhunting firms that are actively looking for candidates to fill a particular special position.

The final 1% comes from placement advertisements and job search facilities.

And this from the lady who ran the job search facility for the University of Oklahoma (at Norman), called the “Job Location Program”. It covered every single staff and faculty position that was being hired for across the entire University.

So far as I can tell, the job placement situation hasn’t really changed much in the 30 or so years since.

So, you have to ask yourself, where do you want to spend your time and money? Do you want to spend it all in the area with only 1% placement success, or do you want to spend it somewhere else that might have a higher probability of getting you something?
It's definitely because of the Referer header. It has only happened to me when I am linked to a tweet from somewhere else and refreshing always solves the problem. I think Twitter wants you to download their app instead of using your phone's web browser.
I get that you say onion is fine for you, but it's amazing how non-obvious and common the actual culprit could be, whatever it is in your case: I have a relative who has, through trial and error, determined that tomatoes, onions, and garlic are among his migraine triggers - but shallots are fine despite being quite similar to onions. Bodies are weird. :)
I wonder what you have to do to become a target for such a network? I have not seen such behaviour online myself, in fact scam problems have been minimal and only once have I seen a gross picture in the customer service tickets. This was probably deserved though...

At order time I create a Google Map of the delivery address and this shows on checkout success. It also shows in the admin side with a live Google Map. If Google can get the address right then the postman probably can is the thinking.

This reduces delivery problems immensely as anything that cannot be shown on a map goes on automatic hold.

Money wasted on delivering the wrong products to people, e.g. after they have managed to cancel their order, plus the costs of back room accounting/customer service is a far bigger cost than fraud.

In your experience did you have savings to be made in your operation in shipping/customer service, to optimise that before tightening up on fraud prevention?

Or do you sell expensive items in a low-ish volume where a single fraud wipes out all of your profits rather than just cost $20 or so?
Still today, surely? If you go to a normal pharmacy in Germany you will find a lot of "homeopathic" medicines as well as various herbal remedies with about the same quality of evidence as "traditional Chinese medicine".
Thanks for posting those references.

There are clearly at least a few different problems going on here in NPR and the general workflow of top-tier journalism today. If you can publish a story, you shouldn't just be able to retract it willy nilly. If you can retract anything you publish, then what's the point of having standards for publication in the first place?

If my knowledge of history is correct, slaves in the US had to right to sue, unless they were sueing to claim that they were not actually slaves; since, until the court decided the suit, it was possible that they were not actually slaves, and so they had to be given the right to be heard in court.

If I recall correctly, when Google Plus was new and people were excited about it, a whole bunch of companies flocked to the site to set up accounts for their businesses. But Google hadn't launched the "business account" functionality yet, so they banned them all.

I guess Google Plus and Friendster are good examples of how that mindset works out.
Kinda annoying, but not surprising. VMs and bytecode formats make simplifying assumptions based on the languages they expect to be hosted on top of them, and that usually means "Something with control flow like C."

Creative uses of computed jumps, messing with the stack, dynamic codegen, all sorts of weird things your new language might do to efficiently implement some new control or data structure aren't likely to be possible.

At least in the short term nobody is going to be too upset. Today if something needs to wring all the power available from your CPU it isn't reasonable to put it on the web. That will continue to be true. WASM is the wise 80% solution, not a toy for ASM hackers and people messing around with weird prototype programming languages.

Hate to be that guy, but I’d imagine this is closer to the original meaning if the term. Mechanical parts required to perform under pressure are much older than servers. :)

Sentence structure could have been better -- I think the Internet a net positive for innovation, but in this particular regard (aggregating great minds to get concentrated breakthroughs, and being recognized for those breakthroughs), it is dampened.
Yea I agree. Another example is the network scanning app Fing. They revoked the ability for apps to do things like MAC address discovery with iOS 11 which makes WOL a lot harder to use.

Ask HN: Helping People in Africa, Am I Being Scammed?
Hello HN,

I have been approached by someone on LinkedIn claiming to be an engineer from Africa wanting help in the form of participation in a program I manage. While I am generally happy to “Help,” this person is located in Nigeria which immediately raises several red flags for me. I talked to them on the phone for 30 minutes out of courtesy and felt that they did not have the depth of skill or knowledge in the area they claimed to be an expert in and also made some exaggerated seeming claims about traveling to China to market the products they had built.

The information they did communicate was nothing that couldn’t be googled and their depth of understanding for an engineer was not in line with what I normally have experienced. A few somewhat deeper questions made it clear that they did not possess the true grounding of an industry professional.

I am concerned this is nothing more than a scam.

Having said that, the charitable side of me feels perhaps this person might really want to improve their skills and change, and is perhaps misguided about the level of training and skill required to be a professional engineer.

What would you do? I have noticed that this person seems to have convinced several other companies to endorse them in some form or another despite not seeming to have real credentials. It is my feeling that they are building up a profile for themselves using gullible yet helpful Westerners to generate their facade.

My other question: Let’s say I really did choose to “help” them, what good can I possibly do for someone in their position all the way around the world.

Leaning towards ignoring them.
Isn’t that basically the definition of anarchy?
> police acts as hired thugs in the US too

Yes, in this case.

> if you are wealthy enough to be able to afford it.

They won't take money, if that's what you're saying.

If they think they can get credit for an easy prosecution for a big crime without too much due-diligence, I don't see why they should care if the accuser is wealthy.
>2. A functioning transit system will attract more ridership and a bus lane is scalable in exactly the way you pointed out.

If transit planners actually took increased ridership as a reason to increase service, that might be relevant. As it stands, the revenue from crush-loaded commuter routes in my area is spent on any and all political priorities (concessions to labor, subsidized fares for favored groups, running highly frequent empty buses where no one wants them) other than the popular routes themselves.
"He was responsible for the boxy look of the ZX80 and ZX81 and the Bauhaus-inspired appearance of the Spectrum."

I'm a bit too young and outside the UK to have had any personal experience with the Sinclair Spectrum computers, but I do love watching YouTube videos about old PCs and technology - Ashens, Techmoan, and LGR are my favourites. And I've always that specifically the design of the ZX Spectrum was great.

I'm an instant photography fan thinking of getting a digital one to complement my traditional instant camera, and I really wish the Polaroid Z2300 (which I briefly owned) had better functionality as I love the design - the black one almost looks like a a ZX Spectrum in camera form. The Snap Touch, which I intend to buy, is close, but more rounded. I'm not sure whether there was any design influence or if the timeline on that would even make sense, but the point is that some elements of that design can even look good today - specifically I notice the angled corners and high-contract rainbow on black colouring:

Resistance to remote work is very entrenched in my country (Australia). I suspect it's because competent management is very scarce here.
Because nobody could conceivably impersonate a business and cause all sorts of legal and PR issues.
Great to see most of the HN comments here wasting their time freaking out about too many brown babies living in the world. (Filter it through whatever level of indirection you like, that's fundamentally the core of these freakouts.)

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see if these results hold up, because these are very outsized effects at very low cost compared to many other disease interventions. Also, it'll be interesting to see how much this is due to body weight versus other effects. Antibiotics are routinely used in livestock for weight gain not for disease control, it may be that weight gain gives a significant survival advantage for other conditions, such as enteric diseases, independent of their antibacterial effects. In any event, this has the promise to become an important tool in reduction of child mortality in developing countries and that will have a tremendous number of positive follow-on results (in addition to the lives saved, of course).
Perhaps we should go back to Usenet and IRC?
I'll be interested to read about the first WASM vulnerabilities that are revealed.
Not to sound glib or cynical, but if the incredibly limited scale of human development in Northwest Australia is a crucial break in the migration chain of these birds, it seems pretty hard to imagine enough tenderness and care could be exercised to save them.

Furthermore, aside from Australia, where along this path will you find anyone who will care enough about this cause to do something?
Ironically another example of the “thought-stopping soundbite”.

Yup, hacking on emacs is my procrastination method of choice. It is enough a part of my daily life that I can convince myself that writing a function to generate org mode links from epub files will genuinely make me more productive down the line.
Ok, since we have authorial authority for it, we'll put that in the title above.
New Windows 10 Features
Right, right. Agree. I think the right comparison is running on Linux vs running on BEAM VM. Linux became popular, among other reasons, because it allowed for strongly isolated processes. Those can crash, stop and that's fine. Other processes of other users don't even care or notice. Erlang VM solved the same problem for an application environment - millions of lightweight processes and run, individually crash restart because they are isolated.

To extend the analogy: running with threads that share memory between themselves is a bit like running on a Windows 3.1 machine - were if the calculator is broken it can crash and overwrite the memory used by the word processor
What’s funny is we call it fraud here and put the person in jail. In China they don’t call that same act fraud, but they do claim that harming a company’s reputation is a crime.

I agree with you that our legal system states he broke the law, but the same may be true of the story in China. The state always justifies its behavior with the law, but that doesn’t make it justice.
> I could manipulate the data file in ArcGIS or QGIS, two enormously powerful pieces of cartography software. For anyone looking to get into amateur cartography, I strongly recommend GQIS. It works on a Mac (which ArcGIS doesn’t) and its cost (zero dollars!) outweighs its bugginess.

Of course it is, but I think you already know that.
I find it helpful to write an ordered list of my to-dos on a piece of paper. Then I plot them on a chart below - usually I do effort for the x axis and urgency for the y axis. Then I chart a path for myself by drawing arrows from one item to the next. I start with the easiest things so that I can knock off the low-hanging fruit and gain momentum.

I find it helpful to decide what order to do everything ahead of time, because then in the moment when I don't know what to do, I just look at the chart and get a clear answer.

The graphing process also helps me evaluate my to-dos more rationally instead of going off of vague feelings. Often I find that a task that feels really difficult actually won't take very much time. That helps me buckle down and do it, since I know I can get it over with quickly.

Making the graph also helps me let go of things that aren't actually important or urgent. I can put them at the tail end of my path and not worry about whether I'm able to get to them or not. It helps me stay disciplined and not fill up my time with them just because they feel easier than the important stuff.
As someone who uses LXDE daily for the past 9 years, and who has a gaming Windows setup, I can tell wholeheartedly that the only thing worse than visual polish of Windows is the GNOME3 and Unity DE's. I also had on couple occasions the misfortune of using OSX, and god it was absolutely horrid. As in, Windows level of bad.

The greater the pain inflicted on undesirables, the more that ICE pleases its key constituency. If the law is applied unfairly, if the law is broken, that only serves to enhance ICE's reputation as an organization willing to get the job done no matter what it takes, a la Charles Bronson in Death Wish.
Meh. A short-lived fork addressing issues being addressed in mainstream redis in a way that is probably more consistent with the codebase.

I think it's an interesting piece of work, no doubt. But I'd never adopt something like this in Real Life. Given the gorgeous state of the codebase, I trust the current stewardship of the project to make the right calls. This sounds more personal than technical.
I only worked for one company where I billed hours against CLINs, but I still had to track hours everywhere.

From playing around with https://mbebenita.github.io/WasmExplorer/ : it seems like any function you ever take the address of gets stored in the table, and wasm just passes the index in that table around. And if you do things like cast an integer to a function pointer, you actually just cast it to an index in the table.

C is high-level enough that IIRC it doesn't guarantee that arbitrary addresses can successfully be used as function pointers; the only valid function pointers are results of addresses of functions, or (possibly) values that have been cast from and then to them. Which is enough for wasm.

Try compiling this (to wat, which is an S-expression format that otherwise resembles the assembly in this article): https://wasdk.github.io/WasmFiddle/?5zbjb

IMHO you probably have to make poetry in order to get it and to adequately value a poem. Even then, what you allow yourself to see in a poem is very much determined by what you think could have been done with words when the author wrote that poem.
If fraud is such a problem for stores would it make sense to offer a discount for payment methods like bitcoin that don’t allow chargebacks? This could reduce the cost of doing business by gaurenteeing payment.
The Bill of Rights isn’t just for citizens, most of it (including the 6th amendment) applies to anyone on American soul.
I get that I can exclude results, but it’s a little like “you’re holding it wrong”. On mobile it’s prticularly horrible. Maybe this is exactly what a clipboard manager is for.
On this note, does anyone know how does Stripe Radar stack against fraud protection.
Huh? This is a far cry from equivalent.

Aleynikov did download Goldman-owned files and basically got off at the Federal level because his case sort of fell into the cracks of the law. This kind of case now IS criminal and is covered by the "Theft of trade secrets clarification act of 2012". He also was not given his Miranda rights in a timely fashion and so this, quite correctly, suppressed a bunch of evidence.

I am, by no means, defending the government's conduct in the Aleynikov case. The conduct of the New York Attorney General was especially egregious and was almost certainly driven by being buddies with Goldman.

However, the equivalent would be the police showing up and arresting Aleynikov simply because he published a blog post calling Goldman a "den of thieves" and they lost a contract because of it.

And, if I'm being honest, most people would not approve of what Aleynikov did. Only those of us who work with code and find most corporate claims around it in courts of law quite non-sensical would find Aleynikov a sympathetic defendant.
What kind of phone? Is this landline or cell phone?

Headsets that work well for one type of phone will rarely (if ever) work well for the other.

List of buzzwords
> And well, Trump has certainly been preoccupied with NK for a while. Again, I can at least see saying "well he made it worse" by his actions and comments but I don't see saying he has nothing to do with it.

Just because Trump has talked about NK doesn't necessarily equate to him being the cause of actions that a country takes. Look at the history of NK/US relations ... there are decades of threats and sanctions against NK, none of them have had any real effect. Every now and then, NK makes overtures about denuclearisation and/or peace treaty, but eventually reverses course. In every case, they have done it on their schedule and on their terms.

So Trumps threats are really just another in a long string of US theats against NK. And Trump has less credibility than other presidents given he is well known to lie and bluster. So there is no evidence that NK would feel more threatened by Trump than previous Presidents.

What is different is China. China is in ascendency, particularly in the Pacific where it is blatantly trying to exert its influence everywhere in the Pacific. And NK can't survive without China's support and trade. So one scenario is China hoping to evict the US from the Korean Peninsular (as one of the conditions of NK/SK peace treaty/nuclear disarmament). NK is the puppet to make this happen.

That is far more likely the cause of NK actions than Trump. China is what makes today's scenario different from the previous similar situations.

My main point is that I see nothing different from the US side than what has happened in the past. So hence my statement that I doubt that Trump/US played much of a part in NK actions today. What the underlying driver is I can't be certain, although China is my bet.
That's not true at all. You don't have to be a "hyper expert" to get tired of standard chess or to enjoy trying new games. I am not a even a regular expert at chess and I enjoy a few chess variants from time to time.
No, it’s the things you’re “ignoring” which keep it on the ground. A solar electric thruster provides less thrust than the surface weight of the spacecraft it is pushing, but it is nevertheless able to push a probe to escape velocity and beyond over months or years of continuous thrust.
