No, Google. Just no.
A very good point about the hypocrisy of the American system. Campaign contributions do look very much like bribery.
Exactly. I can't believe how many upvotes anecdata gets on HN so regularly these days.
Note that Dropbear will read urandom upon each incoming connection so that should be mitigated in many circumstances. (Hopefully some systems are using the delayed hostkey generation option too)
Are you claiming that the court actually understood what he'd done? That's not what I get from the article.

Edit: See the top comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16921634 The court clearly didn't understand that he was providing restore disks, which would not work unless the user already had a license key.
This would happen if supply of workforce would be higher than the demand. Why would a company fire someone when even with immigration demand is not met?
But isn't that the problem? When we see the news media blasting articles about internal disputes most Googlers hadn't heard of, that could mean the internal culture is secretly toxic and the employees are too brainwashed to notice.

Or it could mean that people are selectively leaking a misleading picture of the company.
Sorry for being unclear by my use of stable pool. I meant to say that the pool was stable in the sense that it was healthy and sustainable for people despite market fluctuations.
Even in PhDs there are people who slip through the cracks.

I knew a PhD who in a postdoc would routinely plagerize work (lifted verbatim from other papers, passed off as own work). I would be shocked if they didn’t do this to some degree in their thesis too.

This was from a relatively good university in the UK.

Anecdote: I remember in a scientific writing class in college, the professor told us that we should always give credit when citing someone. I asked her if that was just a good practice and courtesy, or an actual moral obligation. She just repeated herself "you should always give credit" and didn't seem to understand my question.
Christ!
20 years ago I'd have believed that a government funded or non-profit search engine would show honest results. Now I would just assume the results would be determined by political and legal pressures.

A for profit company at least faces the fear that people will just switch to an alternative.
Amazing link, thanks!
At the time scales considered, world population/market size is more or less constant.

That means exponential growth (a reasonable guess at what the curve looks like, initially) has to plateau, eventually.

I envision it slightly differently:

10 years seems reasonable, however, some exception might be added, specifically scientific articles should be limited to 3 years max.

Copyrights may be licensed, but not transferred.

Copyright should not be up for extension and should immediately go to the public domain after the initial 10 years.

For works that are continuous, copyright is valid for 5 years from the last major update.
Not sure if this advice varies between different countries - but here you get several ticks per season if you are out in nature. If you find the tick soon enough it's normally low risk. If you see anything unusual around the bit (blushing, especially the ring kind, fever, pain etc) you go see a doctor. Otherwise you don't.

Where I live the worry is TBE and Lyme, and people tend to take vaccination shots against TBE. Lyme is terrible but normally only causes chronic problems if undiscovered/untreated. My 6yo has had dozens of ticks, (a handful every season) and had antibiotics for the first time after a bite already when he was 3. We check him after he has been out, and every now and then we find 1 or 2.
Most interesting but of this article is the thought process behind her career choices: I don’t want a huge education debt, I don’t want to compete with the herd, I’m ok with getting lots of attention and recording videos of myself.
We will still track you, but now we will give you a better control over what we have tracked! Without tracking and learning about user's preferences FB seem to feel like an empty store!
Agreed. Schwab is rolling out a similar product called Eno, but this seems much nicer and avoids bank lock-in.
I'm sure Amazon will be ok. They'll probably have enough money even with the loss to run the servers for that site I think.

You ignore the many times that financial pressure has worked. The best example is Iran and the Iran deal.

It Is Time to Teach My Child Coding: Advice and Recommendations
Extrajudicial killings aren't made legal by a half-assed Phil 101 utilitarianism argument.

They are still in violation of human rights, international law, in some cases laws protecting American citizens.

The argument you are espousing is the same one that justified the use of torture and the suspension of habeas corpus without anything to show for it.
Why not do both? Learn your amazing life lessons outside of school and couple them with learning everything you can inside school. Why limit yourself? Why go out of your way to diminish your own value? It doesn’t make sense.

That’s how people end up in lives of mediocrity and servitude- they make self-destructive life choices that they rationalize by wrapping them up in some sort of bogus heroic narrative that they literally only came with to make them feel less bad about themselves. There’s nothing wrong with failure, right up until someone decides to not learn from their failures, and enshrines them instead because it’s a lot less work and it feels better. I’ve been there and it sucks. There is no pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.
This hurts to see. Poor C64.
I'm not seeing your argument here.

Let's think about the power of labor for a minute. I think we can both agree that it's heavily contingent on its replaceability. When workers are difficult to replace they are naturally valued more highly. Doctors don't earn huge paychecks because there's some enormous value placed on their work, but rather because there are few doctors relative to demand and so each doctor has a very low level of replaceability. It's the same thing for jobs like athlete or actor. These workers become irreplaceable which gives them a tremendous amount of negotiating leverage.

Even unions can easily be seen in the same framework. Unions work to treat a large number of employees as a single force whose entire source of power and leverage comes from the fact that that 'single' force is less replaceable. This is also why unions in fields where workers are easily replaceable generally don't work (without some sort of third party protection or more underhanded tactics) as they are unable to sufficiently reduce their level of replaceability.

And I think we can also both agree that free migration would massively increase the replaceability of nearly all workers. I'm completely open to your idea, but I'm not seeing the logic!
What are some of these unexpected behaviors associated with using POST when you're meant to use GET?
It's a long, hard way from a research prototype to something that works on a machine different from the author's laptop. It's unclear whether paying researchers to build actual products makes sense. If there is a clear market for the application, there is always the possibility to start a spin-off company.
Why doesn't the device simply block until it has collected sufficient randomness?
It's a different aspect of the same. Your attention to ads or the ads themselves are the product. In the end if it sells it doesn't really matter what you call it.

> Can anyone explain the idea there

The idea is that something being offensive is inherently subjective. If you claim being offended, you are offended. Offending people - at least people that Google management is inclined to listen to - is a no-no. Consequently, if you want to veto a speaker, you just need to proclaim your offense. There's no proof required because there's no proof possible - there's no objective test for being offended, only your feelings, of which you are the only judge. As soon as you decided to proclaim your veto, that's it, the deed is done.

Why people at Google decided to veto PETA speaker - who knows. But there's no point in digging deeper than that and trying to find logic in it - there's no logic in this setup.

> People will just start objecting to any talks.

That'd work if the decision were impartial. But an anonymous "employee working on Talks at Google" doesn't have to be impartial.
You could have said the same thing about XUL.
It says that the mounts do not require you to drill or cut the C64 case, so, it will be fine :)
The OP is pedentically referring to the original Roman use of the word, which mean to kill/remove a tenth.

Nobody uses the word in that way anymore, but some people want to show how clever they are, so they bring it up.

Hello HN folks,

Again and again, as a personal work, I try to find the best minimal foundations for a language. Beside lambdatalk and its “non standard” regexp based implementation, I explore with lambdacode a standard AST based implementation.

Am I on the good lambda-calculus way?

This is why any centralised service is doomed. Hint: federation.

It's a bidding war. Someone already bid 249.99 for "his.app". Next step up is 499.99. If you buy her.app for 249.99, then both will cost 499.99.
I saw a review that mentioned Oculus discouraged using it while it was plugged in, so even on a flight with outlets you wouldnt be able to watch 2 movies on a 4 hour flight with it.
One of the point of the article is that C is relatively high level by your definition.

Basically it says that the C abstract machine has very little in common with most existing processor.

moreover it makes the point that in the last decades of research for CPUs the focus was "make C go fast" wich ultimately cause meltdown.
These are great, thanks for sharing.

No. The intent might have been to move Reader users to G+, but they did not perform an EEE to accomplish it.
I agree that the police and justice system in the US feels slow, ineffective, and biased, but I think that trying to fix it so that everyone can depend on it is the opposite of helplessness.
I began to understand lambda-calculus with this introduction from Raoul Rojas. But I was lost when he explains recursion via the Y-combinator. In fact I think that recursion is best understood when lambdas are introduced to bring a bit of lazyness in an by default eager evaluation. The (if bool one two) control structure is not so easy to understand under the cap.
Sounds fair. Why restrict yourself to US then. You should go to Venezuela, which according to you, you have an equal right to go to.
xbird | Principal Engineer, Machine Learning | Berlin, Germany | ONSITE, VISA, FULL-TIME | http://xbird.io

We are a medical AI company.

Every minute, 8 people die from a preventable disease. We use the latest know-how in data science and machine learning to save lives. Our technology captures data streams from the built-in sensors of smartphones and wearables, and analyzes these to detect critical health events before they occur.

We are hiring a Principal Engineer, Machine Learning to help us build the intelligence behind our systems. You will play a leading role in every part of our machine learning lifecycle: from the initial research to the production-level implementation, from discussing long-term goals to making post-release micro-improvements. You take full ownership of core projects of our company. You also coach and lead other machine learning engineers at xbird.

We are looking for someone that has experience in both backend engineering (Python) and machine learning. The combination is key to us, because you will have to deploy your knowledge outside of the lab. This includes building a reliable, scalable, and secure data processing infrastructure.

To learn more or apply, please visit http://www.xbird.io/jobs/ . If you have any questions, feel free to ask me directly (<markus@xbird.io>).

Programming jobs don't get much better than that. I guess you could program the Voyager probe for NASA, which is even older. Programming missiles would be fun too; I've heard that memory leaks are accepted because it will be set free upon impact. Medical implants and spy equipment are probably fun too, with 8-bit CPUs being likely.

This kind of stuff sure beats web and phone app programming to sell ads, cause addiction, and scoop up people's lifestyles.
How does one map an existing locally-similar pseudorandom pattern like the galaxy image onto a torus, Klein Bottle, or other closed shape? I know that with a generated pattern (e.g. Perlin noise) you automatically get that by taking the value of the noise function at the surface coordinates, but I have no clue about using existing planar images.

When the device blocks, the application can always do a non-blocking read to determine if data is available.
Signal propagation times still put a size limit, then you have optical attenuation to deal with in tiny fibres, requiring amplification. Edit: apparently heater too for tuning stability. Not especially power saving then.

The main gain is that you can put components further away if latency is not a concern and can use parallel buses due to no interference.
So the tech is most suited to replace long range busses like PCIe.
I don't think it's all that popular yet, most 360 content I see is 4K and anything better than that is fairly rare. I do agree it's needed but especially for mobile VR storage requirements are also an issue that keeps people from releasing at better quality.
We don't have oppressive regimes in the West (where Amazon is based) because capitalism encourages freedom and economic prosperity. A company not helping you doesn't mean they're against you. AWS does not want a customer breaking their terms of service, especially when it affects all of their other paying clients.

What does that have to do with other nations and their laws? The censoring issue here is in a foreign state and not caused by capitalism but a lack of it. AWS is not international police so you should focus on government if you want to see political changes.
PICO-8 (and I assume, TIC-80 as well) are actually great for prototyping bigger game development projects - specifically due to its harsh constraints, which force a limited scope and sharp focus on the design.

I'm actually in the process of making SlipWays, a fast-paced 4X game for PC that started as a PICO-8 prototype (https://krajzeg.itch.io/slipways). A major reason for the tight game design of the game were the tight confines on the console.
