Are you using Ubiquity HW? If not, why?

They are cheap as hell and awesome.

Actually - what you should do, is have a customer pay a fee of $100 to connect to the system - and take that $100 and buy another mesh was with each customer on boarding.

Yes, they pay interest + will (hopefully) repay capital at the expiration date.
The idea is solid, but I think you need to do some of domain weighting until you get users. For example, I tried searching "League of Legends", and I got nothing but a whole page of links to various hacking websites and gold sellers (which makes no sense in the context of the game), all of them at zero votes. This is pretty discouraging, and I don't think it makes much sense to make the first 10 or 20 people to search for a topic sort through (and vote on) the entire Internet worth of keyword related links until things are in some semblance of order.
City as Character
Guys seriously.. Nobody is going to read a link titled "About the security content of Security Update 2018-001".

People need some kind of pointer about _why_ they might want to read a security update statement.

Granted the original title should have included Tencent's name too.
”how do you ramp up car manufacturing from 2500 to 5000 to 10,000 per week and reduce CapEx at the same time.”

That could be possible if the production line for the larger production rates is mostly done, and all that’s needed is fine-tuning robots, training personnel, and starting to run the factory 24/7.

While there's a few gotchas, rolling your own JSON parser isn't necessarily a ton of work.

Or perhaps a proposal could be written to give numbers emitted by JSON.parse a "raw" property, so they could be decoded using BigInt?
Personally, I agree.

That said, for any retailer already selling on Amazon the risk is minimal. That is, they are already living with this and (I presume) don't care.
Well just for comparison, I have Notepad++ running right now with 4 medium-sized files open in it, and memory usage is still comfortably under 5 megs.

No problem. I bet CTOs would love “we had a 30% reduction in defect rate” or data like that, for sure, it’s just so hard to collect...
Isn't that true of most CxOs? I've always read CxO as “the corporate officer who is the chief of x” (well, with a special case for CEOs who are the chief of everything rather than the chief of executive.)

The last three paragraphs of the section "Why use Rust?" should address that - basically, they have experience with solving this problem by writing parts of the code in C, they are not fans of that experience, and Rust is a compelling better C (and there are specific reasons they don't think C++ is compelling).

Are you asking in comparison to some other language? The most obvious other languages in the "compelling better C" niche I think are Ada, D, and Go; Ada and D (I think, I do not know them well) don't have as good of a standard library or outside development community, and Go is less suited to Rust to replacing portions of a process. Go would be a reasonable choice were one writing a VCS from scratch today.

Wow, that is a tragic, terrifying story. I hope the mother can find some peace. It's good work she's doing.

One thing not discussed yet:

That's probably really quite difficult to do, actually. :/
There was a ShowHN (can't find it) about an API that pre-qualifies email addresses. I think it just checked if the email syntax is valid (see related discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16799976), if the domain really exists and if the domain is a known burner domain (I use this list https://github.com/wesbos/burner-email-providers/).

Personally I can't use such an external service (in Europe) because with GDPR regulation sending a third-party a list of email addresses without user consent is better avoided.
It's just a label that everyone understands.
Both Tcl and Perl are dead languages walking these days, and it's Python that's displaced them. It absolutely competes in that market.
When did, “A few keyboard warriors Tweeted,” become “Stirs furor” exactly? This is a non-story, and the few people aware of it will have forgotten about it in a week. It’s not even compelling as nontroversies go, because it has no substance, it’s just some people who were offended out of a few hundred million.
Reports on what the twattersphere is outraged about at this current moment doesn't belong on HN IMHO.
Its no good. Right after you make that valuable thing your competitors steal it and murder you.

> But she is too sensitivity, if you don't like him just unmatch. No need to cause someone to lose his job.

Um no. Plenty of cause to make him lose his job.

> This culture of political correctness is getting too over the top.

This has absolutely nothing to do with political correctness but everything to do with violating the trust of the users of the company that you work for in the worst possible way.

> And people are getting tire over it, which may explain why we have people like Trump on power.

I'm not sure what Trump has to do with it but if you see Trump as helping people to 'get over it' than I think you're a bit mis-informed. If anything Trump is showing people that if you ignore this sort of thing it can grow to very ugly proportions.
> The main thing holding us back is scaling up the number of installs.

So the main thing holding you back is time, money, resources, access, customers, and logistics?
It doesn't surprise me that those languages are favourites for that age bracket (18,24). Python C/C++, JavaScript and Java seem to be what's taught (or assumed) in most CS degrees. You have to take into account that only small group of students in that age bracket would venture off and extend themselves. Most are content with knowing just the "standard" languages.
Congrats! Where does the data come from?
Correction: it's using Node, not JavaScriptCore. (I think that makes it even more useful, and it should still be far more performant)
That's a very good observation. They should have caught this internally long before an outsider pointed it out to them.

This is worrisome, especially given the comment upthread about how a large portion of Facebook's security is inward facing.
> The majority of their work is coming from volunteers.

> the difference is that people and companies donate their time/money because they want the project to succeed.

And that volunteering time and energy are probably valuable then, especially if they can do the work of a real ISP.

I think one real question to ask though is what is actually more efficient—donating volunteer time and energy to a nonprofit, or donating money and having that nonprofit hire professionals instead?

GP doesn't sound like he is saying a volunteer mesh network literally cannot work, just pointing out that a network is inherently expensive to run, whether it is 'fully accounted for' on a payroll, or merely hidden in the cost of 'free' volunteering effort. It's an open question of whether asking for people's time or their money is better in the long run. Capitalism tends to suppose the latter.

>Working for less than minimum wage is against the law.

No, it's not. You can absolutely set up a proprietorship, and sell labor, such that the pre-tax proceeds per hour of labor are less than the minimum. That is legal. It's just not legal for an "employer" to be the payer of that income, hence begging the original question.

That's my whole point: why does this distinction exist?

It's pretty trivial to defend any tiny part of the system in isolation. The problem is to explain why you have this employer-contractor boundary. That needs more (as justified in my original comment) than "I don't want workers to be oppressed" or "I don't like businesses shunting costs onto the public".
Yeah, I just figured that a pro-anonymity, pro-startup, pro-charity, anti-monopoly, anti-comcast community would see this as a win on all fronts.

At least that was my read on this community.
Those are only bytecode. It helps a little but you still have to load the file from the filesystem and run it on import.
Thanks for pointing that out, I commented with a correction.
Actually even 80K to 160k is kind of underselling it. Once you add Amazon/Google/Facebook RSUs the total comp can become outrageous. Then you add a working spouse or partner.

> If those risks don’t pan out...I'm not that upset.

But see, now you have introduced an "us vs them" mentality to this discussion with homeowners on one side and non-homeowners on the other. If I, a homeowner with 800K mortgage, is going to face people like you who want to act in a way that will reduce the price of my home below 800K thus wiping out my equity in my home and saddling me with an underwater mortgage, then I am going to fight tooth and nail against any new housing.

Figuring out how to add new housing without affecting the value of existing homes would go a long way towards getting buy-in from existing homeowners.

5 % is quite a lot of misdiagnosed babies if this is implemented as a mass screening activity, 2-3 times higher than than what the internet seems to think is the actual ASD incidence, and I imagine that that number includes a lot of "highly functional" ASD cases

What should a parent do when this happens? It will be only perhaps 20-30% risk that the baby actually do have ASD and not just a false positive.

I imagine that ASD "prevention" is mostly behavioural training [I have no idea at all actually] - but how much time and effort would that take? What are the consequences for healthy babies? I imagine that most people would spend a lot of effort on anything that could help in cases like this.

It's a bit problematic since it's not possible to know until after a couple of years if it's was a false positive or not. It might turn out that a lot (or most) of all successful recoveries was in fact "false positives".
Fantastic list!

Rebalance vs. HODL: A Technical Analysis
You wrote: Python was a great Unix-y language is not equivalent to "Python only ran on Unix and never supported Windows at all",

Let me elaborate further. I recall that Mark Hammond at one of the Python conferences around 2000 said that Python was the language with the best support for Windows outside of the languages developed at Redmond. Hammond did much of the heavy work in making that happen.

I didn't mean to sneak in a dishonest argument.

I am under the genuine impression that Python worked well for Windows, with the narrow Unicode build that matched the UCS2 encoding that Windows used, and was comparable to the experience of developing under Python for Unix.

Similarly, I thought the native Mac support under, say, OS 9, was also well supported, and matched the Mac environment.

I'm not saying that there weren't problems, and I agree that that web development is one of the places where those problems came up.

Rather, I'm saying that I think the native Unix, native Windows, and native Mac support were roughly comparable, such that I don't think it's right to say that there was a really strong bias towards Unix.
We bypass traditional ISPs by connecting directly at an internet exchange point (DE-CIX IXP) and peering with other networks. This is basically how the internet is formed, by networks peering with each other. We don't need this ISP layer.
I am some of those things, and I want that fact to be utterly ignored in a professional context.

Someone who is unintentionally unkind will receive a quiet word better than a hundred codes of conduct. That's how you change hearts and minds.
I don't see how that's connected. Honestly. I just see a guy throwing his toys out the pram because somebody is being explicitly discriminatory.

It's ridiculous because real, damaging discrimination is rarely explicit, almost never public, and almost always far more significant than being excluded from a mentorship program.
Well, first, you have to believe that the EEG's predictor model is accurate and trustworthy.

You have to trust those prescribing it, which, if you don't trust the advice of a doctor with a needle, would you trust them with a brain scan that labels your child defective, before they can even talk?

Some people (those who might consider skipping vaccinations) might avoid such an exam entirely, and choose to wait until their child is age 10 or 15, to decide whether they have some sort of problem with their social skills, or worse.
> city politics safeguards the value of these risky bets by homeowners

Mainly because homeowners are more engaged in the city politics? If renters or would-be homeowners were more engaged, this would have been a totally different situation.

I agree. My big issue with Jupiter is that it tries to replace the command line instead of augmenting it. I want a web app that is a full fledged Linux command line plus some API's for visualizing information, don't think that exists yet. I just cannot work in any environment that doesn't support VIM + tmux + linux command line utilities.
I was debating if I should mention the book, and was worried someone else would.

Of all the negotiation books I've read, it is the best book at explaining the psychological aspects of negotiation. However, the tone and ego of the author is incredibly off putting - especially his continual bashing of the other well known books that are used in MBA curricula. He often makes claims about those books that aren't true and ridicules them (the straws are thick in the book). And then over 80% of what he does advocate is also in those books he criticizes. I usually don't mention the book because I worry that people will read it and have a biased view against all the other good books out there.

As for his "phrasing hacks" - some are great, some less so. I think this is a product of his background - he was an FBI negotiator and most of his negotiations are one-off. He is not going to interact with his counterparts once the negotiation is complete, so he is not aware of the long term consequences. Finding clever ways of asking "How can I do that?" works in the short run, but will often damage relations in the long run - people do wisen up to it. These days I have to deal with someone who keeps asking what the author would call "calibrated questions", like "Yes, but how will I know X?". I'm at the point where I just respond with "Yes that's a good question. How will you know X?". And likewise to all the other questions.

Some of the calibrated questions are really effective. Others are not. I suspect because most of his interactions are one-off, he cannot distinguish.

One of the books I read (Bargaining For Advantage) formalizes this a little: You have two axes and 4 quadrants. One axis is: How much you care about the outcome. The other is: How important is the relationship to you?

The toughest is when both are important. The quadrant where you care about the outcome but not the relationship is easier, but can be challenging too (examples are divorce and negotiating the price in a market). When the relationship is important but the outcome isn't, the advice is to focus on making the other person happy - this can also be the perspective of an employer who wants to hire a good candidate - if the candidate asked for an average salary or less, give him an above average salary. For the final quadrant where neither is important, society usually has protocols that people just follow so that time isn't wasted on negotiating trivialities.

But I agree - there is good stuff in the book. And of all the ones I've read, it is the most "down-to-earth" in terms of putting what you learn into practice.
My use case for something like this is to scan family videos to index people to scenes/events/locations.

If I could process my catalog of videos (~30 hours) for a reasonably small amount of cash it would save me hours of mucking about with ML/OpenCV, etc... though I'd miss the learning experience.
Mostly because on all mainstream OSes you see today, C is the lowest-common-denominator ABI that a lot of the code is written in, and for historical reasons C does not require or expect any extra information. Thus, it's not standard.

Which is why some systems have tried to add their own layer of extra metadata, such as Windows COM and GTK's gobject(introspection). I don't know how these systems store their metadata, but ELF at least is flexible enough that you should be able to store your metadata in extra sections of the SO.

However, (and I'm just speculating here, hopefully more informed people will correct me) there's also a risk that part of the tool ecosystem doesn't know what to do with the in-ELF metadata and accidentally removes it: "strip" comes to mind, the tool that removes extra symbols and debugging information from binaries and libraries.
Oh! Actually, I'm paging through "Rust in production at Figma" (https://blog.figma.com/rust-in-production-at-figma-e10a0ec31...) and I think this is closer to what I would expect in a "paper" - while acknowledging that am predisposed toward thinking "graphs and data" when I think of a paper, I do think these kinds of blog posts have more of an impact (and seem more true to the idea of a "paper") on me than the current Rust whitepapers.

That said, I will happily concede that I have no idea who the target audience is for the whitepapers and probably don't know the accepted industry definition of a whitepaper. However, I'm very happy to see Rust flourish either way.
Computer hacker who stole data from hundreds of top companies facing jail
While I don't care about people's race, skin colour, sexual orientation, 'gender', religion, political affiliation, book preference or shoe size...

...I most emphatically do care about them not bringing up any of these characteristics in any context where they see fit. Just like a country with freedom of religion should support freedom from religion the same goes for freedom from politics, 'gender' issues, race discussions, political diatribe et al. There are laws against discrimination on many - but not all - of these issues which can be used to get those who insist on breaking them back in line or out of the context. If these laws are insufficient there are channels to discuss these issues and ways to get them amended.

In simple terms I think we - as in the society which I was born and raised in (in the Netherlands) and currently live in (Sweden) - have gone a long way in eradicating discrimination on many of the mentioned grounds and marginalising those who insist on violating relevant laws. Both Sweden and the Netherlands belong to the most egalitarian and open societies in the world where 'diversity' has been a mantra for many decades. Things were starting to look good, hardly anyone cared about whether the teacher at school had a different skin colour or shared her bed with a same-sex partner or prayed to whatever deity of choice. And then...

...and then...

And then identity politics suddenly raised its ugly head, driven by people who insist they 'represent' 'marginalised minorities' - without asking those supposedly marginalised minorities whether they felt the need to be represented in any way - and starting calling anyone who did not abide by their 'demands' all sorts of things - racist, xenophobe, misogynist, white cis-gender male expletive_deleted, etcetera.

What the said they wanted to do was 'end discrimination and further diversity'. What they are doing is building enclaves and segregating the population among all those characteristics which our societies previously tried to make irrelevant.

All those labels they try to stick on their opponents reflect back on what they themselves are: they are the racists by trying to split the population along (real or imaginary) 'racial' lines. They are the xenophobes by loudly denouncing anyone who does not kowtow to their all demands. They are the enemies of diversity by inciting strive between 'racialised' groups.
In my experience, "script" is usually well-correlated with "a bit of inefficiency is okay." There's a reason that, say, many UNIX commands that could be implemented as scripts (true, false, yes) are actually implemented as binaries. There's a reason that most commercial UNIXes/clones (Solaris, macOS, Ubuntu, RHEL, etc.) switched from a script-based startup mechanism to a C-program-based one.

I certainly write and continue to write Python scripts where even an extra half second won't matter. It's doing some manipulation of data where the cost of what it's doing is dominated by loading the data (e.g., grabbing it from some web service), and even if the script is small and quick, it's not so small and quick that I'll notice 50-100 ms being shaved off of it.

Use cases where CPython continues to make sense to me are non-CGI web applications and things like Ansible, where load time isn't sensitive to milliseconds and runtime performance is pretty good. (Although if you believe the PyPy folks, perhaps everything that's PyPy-compatible should be running on PyPy.)
They already do it. Credit Card companies like MasterCard and AmEx have been selling data to advertisers for at least 8 years now. That plus all the data you can extrapolate from other sources can give anyone an accurate picture of your consumption habits.
