The amount of data on the screen, depending on where you experienced it, is also configurable by the IT department. One of the tasks that I have at my job is to make the data on the screen as concise as possible.

I am not sure when you last interacted with Epic but it has come a very long way in the last 8 years in the realm of personalization, macros, mobile access, and alerting (you can subscribe to results and be notified on your phone or watch when it returns as one example).

My goal with the providers I work with is to provide minimum scrolling, limited clicks, and easy ordering, all while being as workflow agnostic as possible through personalization of the user experience.

As to the need for faxing and scanning, the VA benefits from being completely uniform and, frankly, socialized in its data. The non governmental hospital system consists of millions of data sinks (data centers, file rooms, etc) and all of them are owned and controlled by different entities. The fact that even the level of data that can be requested and accessed instantly between health care providers exists as it does today is impressive.
With all due respect, I do not want to be fracking tracked when I'm at an event. And loaded in a database somewhere. I can maybe be persuaded for event organizer use if it's truly anonymous--though given the difficulty of truly anonymizing I'm uncomfortable.

The existence of such data has huge security/privacy implications given that people meet at shows to discuss all sorts of things that aren't on the radar.

Maybe opt-in? I certainly wouldn't.

>but if I can implement faster than Rust in a language that would also have similar safety properties then I'd rather do that, even if it meant somewhat slower runtime performance.

Why? Does this really make sense? You write it once, it runs a multitude of times. Why is the extra 30 minutes (maybe) to implement in Rust worth more than the extra CPU cycles over countless runs? It's going to be less error prone and faster.
There are lots of things you can do that aren't performance bound: web pages focused on content, 2D games, simple forms.

Not sure the bible is a good source for astronomy. But your quote does not say anything about "uncountable stars". I don't know the context but it could simply be read as:

> Your fields will produce lots of seeds, as many as stars (a few thousand) ... or as many as grains of sand (millions).

Nowhere does it say those numbers are equal. Or maybe it means:

> You'll get lots of children (seeds?), as many as stars (9000), or as many as grains of sand (millions, eventually).

Is there an actual quote that says there are uncountable stars?

Ask HN: Is Keybase a reasonable solution for storing private keys/recovery words
I know the safest option is to not store anything online, but considering the probability of losing physical documents, I'm willing to the make the risk/reward tradeoff.

Keybase looks like an attractive option for encrypted cloud file storage. It is end to end encrypted and looks to be a security first platform. What are the attack vectors here? I like that only trusted devices can issue keys to new devices (meaning that even if my Keybase account password is compromised, the hacker still needs physical or remote control of one of my devices to grant file access on their computer).

Physical access is a problem, so a stolen laptop + knowledge of my password could screw me, but I use a lock screen, keep Keybase logged out at all times, have encrypted HDD, etc.

On top of that, I could also encrypt a .dmg file with another password and store that.

Opinions appreciated.
I'm a little confused.

Setting aside the legal/ethical underpinnings..

Is the issue here that people are worried that an SA can revoke a cert or that it will be harder for the layperson to get to this particular site?
If that's your takeaway then I think there isn't much point starting a debate with you but on the off chance that that is what you are looking for:

(1) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=823615 and many others besides, some of them well before SpaceX was even officially on the books.

(2) Jeff Bezos is not a 'little player', he goes out of his way to invite comparison (in a positive sense) between SpaceX and Blue Origin.

(3) I'm super happy that SpaceX exists and I sincerely hope that Blue Origin will shape up and starts to put stuff in orbit rather than to play the 'space tourism' angle. It seems rather frivolous to start off with manned space flight when you normally speaking cut your teeth - and derisk your design - using many useful unmanned launches until you get it all to work reliably and safely. Going 'up and down' does not seem all that impressive, even though of course it is plenty complicated but it is all relative to what others are doing.

(4) I can't stand hype. And to me Blue Origin is hyping for all it is worth. For now they're Armadillo Space on steroids time will tell how they will fare. Until then these test flights test stuff that matters but not nearly at the level that Blue Origin makes it out to be.

Finally, to avoid stepping on sensitive toes: nothing in this comment is meant as disparaging to employees of Blue Origin, SpaceX, Rocket Lab, ULA, Ariane Space or any other group of people that are working to get mass of this planet, the more the merrier regardless of how much a project works out or not I wished I was younger and had more of a physics background so I could contribute. So I'm relegated to watching this development and it is the most excited I've been since I was 4 years old and saw the first man on the moon. I don't think I've missed a launch in the last year or two.
Ask HN: Which NAICS code do you use to classify your SaaS?
Hey SaaS owners out there, which NAICS code do you use to classify your SaaS? I've always struggled to select a proper code in the North American Industry Classification System for a standard SaaS web app.

Classification starting point:

http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p3VD.pl?Function=getVD&TVD=118464

Codes I've found to be somewhat in the right ballpark:

I can’t imagine this belief has changed much of anything.

First of all, as you point out, even if it were a legal standard, the lack of timeframe makes it is such a flimsy concept as to be totally unenforceable. Cut R&D spending? The money could be better allocated elsewhere. Increased R&D spending? Increasing long term share holder value by creating new revenue streams.

Even if we assume every board member is a slave to profit making on a short timeframe with no concern for the environment or human life, I can’t think of any issue before a board that would not have strong, profit oriented arguments on both sides. Buying solar panels? Screw the environment, that was just to reduce reliance on fluctuating local emergy prices. Cutting ties with your sweatshop? Just want to avoid the bad PR. And on and on.

The idea that company board members would be acting in a more environmentally friendly and humane way, except that they think they have to operate under some vague legal standard just doesn’t make sense. Unlike the Internet, board members likely get their legal advice from lawyers.

The answer is far simpler. Board members that act without regard for the environment and human life do so because they have none. Let’s not pretend they would all be Like Mother Theresa but got duped by Internet rumors.

I’m not saying it applies, here, but there also is a psychological aspect to chess annotations. Annotators may mark a move as good even if they think or even know better moves against optimal play exist. It isn’t fair to expect human chess players to play optimally.

Rust: Traits Deep Dive, Part I
To clarify this a bit, webassembly modules declare external functions they'd like to call. When you instantiate the module, you hook JS functions up to those names. So, you can "call arbitrary JS" in the sense that there's no restrictions on what JS is in those functions, but you can't "call arbitrary JS" in the sense that the module has to list up-front what it'd like to call and it's the instantiator's job to provide those things or decide to not instantiate.

Sure, I’ve read Iverson’s paper. I think the notation is perhaps what enabled him to come up with what I feel is the important thing: the semantics. I care a lot about function-level programming, tacit programming, implicit iteration, and dimension-agnostic code; I don’t really care for APL/J notation specifically, and not because of the funny character set or terseness, but because it’s not compositional. Changing the symbols out for words wouldn’t help much with that; I just think it would make it more popular.
This is interesting, but I'm not sure if I'd stay at a company that refused me root access to my own machine. A culture where such a lack of trust exists is not one that sounds attractive to me.

I like this book, but I have some reservations for using it for interview practice. There is no discussion on implementation of some of the algorithms, which may be relevant in an interview (e.g. if you're not allowed to use std::sort).

There are also a lot of topics where there's a brief overview of the algorithm, but no code - e.g. the geometry section is interesting and has some useful ideas, but no implementation. This gets worse as the algorithms get more complicated, and some quite difficult topics get a cursory glance.

For the general categories of problems that you find on e.g. LeetCode or Intervewbit, this book is really useful. It's a good, practical, companion to a proper algorithms textbook.

Perhaps most irritating - if using this for prep - is that there are virtually no case studies, and the case studies that are in there assume a lot of code which isn't in the book (either boilerplate or assistance functions). This book would be incredibly valuable if each chapter had a list of example problems (solved or unsolved) to see how things are applied.

Isn't the answer far simpler? In a global economy, companies that operate at global scale - Amazon, Toyota, Samsung - will see outsized profits when compared to local only businesses. The vast majority of such companies are located/headquartered/listed in/in/on US bases, leading to a two speed growth rate.

Google makes > 50% of its revenue outside the USA. Here is Apples's percentage: https://www.statista.com/statistics/263435/non-us-share-of-a...

Apple employs 123,000 people, 80,000 in the USA (best stats I could find). Google employs 80,000, and AFAIK over 50% are US based.

So what we have are companies with a growth rate far in excess of US GDP as they create wealth from the world, with the majority going to US based employees and shareholders. Doesn't it just make sense that this leads to inequality? Those that work at global scale - and the locales that house such employees (READ: Bay Area) will have outsized results vs US centric businesses and locales.
Didn't it seem like the capsule speed suddenly dropped from ~18MPH to 0MPH at landing? I was under the impression there would be a short burn smoothing that transition, it did not appear to be the case to me.

Also, the whole commercial advertisement format of the launch is far too contrived. Hearing the host describe the capsule window as gorgeous cheapens the entire thing, it's like I'm watching home shopping network.
Congrats Blue Origin Team! That was nicely done. I am always amazed when something so complicated is made to look "easy."

With Virgin Galactic getting back into test flights after losing Spaceship 2, the possibility that non-astronauts might be making suborbital flights seems so much closer.

I share the suggestion with other commentators here that using metric units might be more useful, even if your target audience (the tourists that fly) might not understand them, is a good one. Even if they don't understand them, tourists will recognize when something looks "Just like NASA does it" and that will instill confidence.

The dynamic range on the BE-3 is particularly impressive. I don't believe anyone else's restartable rocket engine has a similar range of operation.

> I’ve been in parts of the country where there’s complete blackness in the new moon. I didn’t stop to count the stars, but it looked much more like the second picture than the first one. The Milky Way is astonishingly vivid and the stars are endless.

I just got back from Exuma Island in the Bahamas. This is a decently remote island without much light pollution. It was by far the best star-gazing I've ever experienced. I've backpacked in Big Bend, Yosemite, and Yellowstone (and less notable areas), Exuma takes the cake for looking at the heavens.

I say all of this because the picture on the left seems much more representative of the _best star-gazing conditions I've ever witnessed_. The Milky Way was big and beautiful; It caused my S.O. and I to sit outside for 1.5 hours just staring. But it still looked more like the first picture.

Maybe you were mis-remembering, or maybe your vision is just better for these sorts of things. Either way, I want to know where you were to see the second picture.
Awesome idea for a satire site, and this appears to be well intended. However it did bring an interesting thought to mind: somebody could easily create a site like this for the express purpose of building retargeting audiences in a given niche. Post something likely to go viral in tech circles, for example, then throw retargeting pixels from FB, Google, etc on there. Notice that the URL posted to HN had a tracking parameter attached to it (“?HackerNews”). I didn’t bother to look at the code on the site, but I noticed that Adblock Plus blocked 4 elements on the page, so maybe they’re already doing this. Even just with the YouTube-based promo video embedded on the page, you can retarget people that watched the video.

The S&P 500 is rebalanced periodically, meaning companies are removed and added. That makes it not a good assessment of the hypothesis, one needs to find something that is pinned to the S&P 500 one year, then tracks the same 500 companies over a given period of time, including those that drop out and excluding those that grow to be included in the time period of interest.
I thought the same thing when Node.js started to become popular: why would anybody go through the trouble to set up an environment to run single-threaded, interpreted applications on a server when we already had C/Java/.NET/etc?

It turns out people like to use the languages/environments they already know.
Fair enough, but there are cases where allowing that while also meeting the web of regulatory requirements that beset some industries is difficult if not practically impossible.
Companies that mismanage their long term prospects fail in the long term. It's self-correcting. If you're worried about investing in a company that sacrifices the long term for short term gain, don't invest in companies less than 5 years old.

According to the author's Linkedin [0] he's "Lead OpenShift Architect at Barclays"

I get the security risks and the fear of malicious insiders at a company such as this. But having expensive, fairly high level employees work around not having root access on their own machines strikes me as odd. The guy does docker for a living and can't run docker on his own machine.

Also, recall that he has physical access to said machine (I hope) so if he really was a malicious insider, he could already pretty much own it. Then again, maybe he doesn't.

The only bad thing there was having a consultant break a rule (they're allowed to watch the team's games, they're allowed to make suggestions to the coaching staff, but they're not allowed to make suggestions to the coaching staff based on what they saw during the games). That's one of those minor secondary violations on par with how it was ok to give a student-athlete a bagel, but a bagel with cream cheese is an impermissible benefit. The most important differentiator for coach vs consultant is whether or not they interact with players, which didn't happen.

There's pretty minimal evidence that Pete Carroll knew about Reggie Bush's improper benefits. The NCAA just admitted last week that their main piece of evidence against the coaching staff (a one minute phone call) was "factually incorrect". Their report misrepresented when the call occurred and who made the call. The connection to the coaching staff was already tenuous at best, and I think the ongoing Todd McNair trial is only going to reinforce that.

Both, I think. The certificate has clearly been revoked.[0] If Sci-Hub requested that, no problem. But if some third party did it, that's clearly a vulnerability.

And yes, the impact is that many people lose access. Or need to access via HTTP instead of HTTPS. Which exposes information about what they access. Unless the use the Tor onion site, which is maybe beyond most people's skills.
