Every time agriculture-heavy states crack down on illegal immigration, crops rot on the vine because nobody else wants those jobs, even in periods of high unemployment. Here's the story from Georgia, there are identical ones from the Southwest as well:

Your choice is not between illegal immigrants and working-class citizens getting that work, it's been illegal immigrants getting the work and nobody doing it.
China is perhaps not the best example. Given their one child policy that was in place for a long time, and the fact the fertility rate there is still well below that of the US, the relative size of the pool for soldiers will shrink faster than in the US.
IMO an image is much less important than CSS, since most of the time without the CSS framework loading the page is not usable. Also progressive JPEGs make a big difference for the effect of loading time if you have a large splash image or background image.
>Raising the overall level of education in this country should be a much larger goal that it seems to be.

I envision a day where everyone enjoys the "right" to a PhD. We will be very smart then, won't we?

You only have one life. Not having children means not living it fully (though it's mighty convenient). All the money in the world won't change that and it won't matter when you're gone anyway.
>the price those crops are sold at will rise until such time as the next Eli Whitney, who is probably an HN reader, invents a machine to harvest them cheaper.

Sure, and who cares about the people who can't afford food in the meantime while we wait for the new Eli Whitney? You are proposing fixing one problem by creating numerous more problems.
The idea that a population must expand in perpetuity is an idea that is obviously flawed to apply to any finite nation.
Given the oncoming tide of automation, it seems doubly flawed.

It should be acceptable for any population to ebb and flow, as changes in internal and external forces occur. Deciding to import warm bodies because your economic ponzi appears to require it seems like short term thinking. It would be better if the ponzi itself was addressed and the population allowed to ebb for awhile.

People are easy to attract to your country when you really need them ... unless you've managed to make that country undesirable.
I really don't care if I'm talking to a person or a robot. Anonymous social interactions that are required to achieve an unrelated goal are a waste of time. I truly believe that my time is not worth talking to a human to set up an appointment that could have been set up in much less time if I could interact with a computer instead, nor is that worth anyone else's time.

In many cases, I'm never going to see the person I'm talking to. We won't discuss anything other than the details of the appointment I want to schedule. For all intents and purposes they are no different than a computer to me.

I understand why people would want to keep meaningful anonymous social interactions, like conversing with strangers on a bus (or on the internet!), around but I fail to see why anyone cares if we get rid of meaningless ones.
Apple also faked their "entire internet" iPhone demo in their 2008 keynote. At the time, if you visited the National Geographic website without Flash installed, you'd be shown a hero banner stating "this presentation requires Flash" with a large download button. Jobs' demo had the banner, but the Flash message was edited out.

I don't understand either how this got to the top of hn. I recently spent a weekend on the peninsula of Nordstrand and didn't even realize this was there... and it's nothing special in that area really. E.g. Sylt is connected to the mainland via a car train which I found much more exciting when I was younger (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autozugverkehr_Nieb%C3%BCll%E2...) [german]
They’re just terrible jobs people who aren’t desperate wouldn’t do.

If you don’t believe me, go clean a slaughterhouse one night, or pick strawberries in the hot sun for a day.

Edit: Automate these jobs.
Was this able to be done programmatically? Like POST a set of numbers and get back their location data.

Wonder how long this was open for any bad actors to exploit.
No, they usually give the name of the restaurant. People giving their name is less common.
.localhost is the loopback IP on most resolvers, though.
You can extort someone by threatening to reveal something, even if revealing that would not be criminal in and of itself.

I feel that the distinction here is mainly that the information is already published -- they're not threatening any action if there's no payment.

If they contacted people before posting their mugshots and demanded payment to not publish, then it would be cut and dry.

I do believe you've hit the nail on the head with that question. Or, in this case, the rail.
If it's like Tinder, you'll accumulate a mile long list of "matches", and maybe talk to .5% of them. Of those, you might actually spend a night with one or two.

Is it possible to do this in discord? I think it would be much more successful than phpbb.
It's good that there is at least a way to do it, but it's still absurd that showing a page from a server in a LAN on a browser in the same LAN now requires third-party services on the internet and incurs running costs.

(* yes, you could simply tolerate the insecurity warning if you're ok with not using more recent JS/CSS features. I imagine though the warnings will become more obnoxious and the amount of features you can't use will grow.)

(* yes, you can install your own root CA cert. For admin pages, this is even a reasonable thing to do - however, you'll need to do it on any machine that is expected to open your page. So say goodbye to raspberry pi media experiments or kiosk systems.)
Funnier still because Craigslist themselves have filed multiple lawsuits against such mapping sites (e.g. PadMapper) for scraping their site for listings.
All equally ignored. Moreover, as the original comment points out the Browser doesn't care about any of it. A typical web site involves dozens, even hundreds of resources each of which might have involved a separate connection, separate certificate. Images, scripts, style, and of course dynamic content. But the EV display summarises just one, the one for the original document fetch.

A site you're looking at with an EV cert you're happy with might have an image that's supposed to say "Sorry, we're closed for maintenance" with the site's logo. But bad guys, who have a DV cert have substituted "Welcome, please use our new login system". They've also replaced the cool live map and fancy animated carousel below that with their "new" login form. So the site has the EV visuals, but bad guys who broke only DV can subvert it almost totally.

Blockchain is a brilliant and revolutionary technology. Is cryptocurrency the killer app? Maybe, but in any case it's financing the development of decentralized projects which may solve difficult problems in the realm of self organizing machines, artificial intelligence, mesh networks, trustless systems, transparency, etc.

It gets old seeing educated people on HN trying to frame anything-cryptocurrency in the most negative light possible without productive discussion, most often out of jealousy and bitterness about not partaking in the profits enjoyed by those who saw potential earlier and bought some.
> What have you done today?

Considerably more real work than I usually do...

A full third of the front page as I look right now is nytimes, bloomberg, wsj, theguardian, and other fairly junk mainstream news sites. Must be a slow day for the bloggers and people actually writing about technology.
Puh-lease...
Early stage is just not very well suited for dispersed ownership. The investors need to do a lot of work to dig up and verify the information and this only makes sense if they have big stakes in the company. This is a general problem with crowdfunding (https://medium.com/@zby/proof-of-work-8d8265def194). Then there are specific problems with ICOs - which have no legal meaning and give no guarantee to the investors at all.
I'll tweak this recommendation and say that I'd probably not ask outright "how'd it go" to the final interviewer (they may not really know at this point anyway). Instead, I might look to say something to the effect of:

"I'm always looking for ways to improve, and I've found in my career that interviews are a great way to expose oneself to new growth opportunities. If you, or anyone on the team, has some feedback based on the interview, regardless of whether or not I get the position, I'd love to hear it."

This has the added benefit of showing a few things:

[1] You're committed to growing and improving.
[2] You're open to feedback.
[3] You're showing you'd value their team's opinion, which signals your own interest in the team.

Mind you, a lot of companies won't want to share any information for legal reasons. Not much you can do about that, but it never hurts to ask.
feels to me like you do not want children bad enough... there are infertile couples out there who have to pay quite a lot of money to get to the position where you are now (I assume you both guys are fertile) [0]

Apart from the examples in the article, I am also judging from my own experience and I personally reached the point where the money simply does not matter compared to the possibility of being a parent.

Once again we have a 'lucky sperm' event. Have no idea of the 1000's of others that were called jokers or derided that went nowhere. And by the way business back in the 70's was like that. You had to have a certain degree of respectability to get noticed and be able to get what you needed. I speak from experience having been there. And Jobs was weird so what. Weird becomes genius after success and money. Then it's brilliance.
Employing immigrants in unskilled labor is a good thing if we're on the cusp of an automation revolution. Immigrants are not citizens - these are employable people who invested in traveling to America because we pay more for their skills. They go home when the market becomes unfavorable.

California has never been "straddled" with unemployable farm workers over winter...
I think this is a pretty significant improvement, personally. The stuff I've been recently interacting with/working on is now right at the top of the page, and the repository list seems to highly prioritize original repos, rather than wasting a lot of space showing my "forks" which are just those automatically created when I'm making pull requests.
And with each new generation of security features, we get bigger, better, more in-your-face "safer-web indicators", a veritable Lensman Arms Race of iconography.
Deoptimization is actually really hard to implement if you have an ahead of time compiler like Cannoli. You need to get all the stuff that is living in machine registers or in the C stack and then convert them back to whatever representation your generic interpreter uses.

I think this is actually one of the things that most get in the way if you want to use traditional AOT compiler technology (like gcc or LLVM) to implement a JIT. In state of the art JIT compilers this part is always a nest of highly complex and nonportable assembly language.
I couldn't bring myself to pay $479 for a keyboard and then have to relearn how to type after spending close to forty years typing with one hand on a regular QWERTY keyboard. Last time I checked, I can type at about 50 wpm but since most of my typing is coding, as long as my typing speed can keep up with my thinking speed (with autocomplete), it's not the bottleneck.

This is my favorite keyboard:

I can reach from the Q to the P with one hand and can touch type on it.
The Chinese immigrated to the US at a similar time as the Irish and Italians. The more than 3 million Chinese living in the US today seem plenty well integrated and I don’t think China and America are particular close in terms of culture.
What workers are you thinking of that have a pension besides certain federal/state/municipal employees.

The average or median worker in the United States cannot depend on a pension, it is impractical for the vast majority of Americans to consider what we commonly think of as retirement and stopping work.

It works, but not too much more to say. Azure Portal UI completely blows GCP and AWS out of the water.
JIT'ers tend to be aggressive and disregard language semantics. As far as I know, the java hotspot compiler goes ahead and inlines implementations of calls on generic interfaces, as long as a couple of hundred calls to into the same implementation method. For large methods, it might not inline, but it'll remove the conditional jump based on the type with a direct jump.

That's obviously wrong, examples to show that are trivial. But that's why the direct call also contains a trap to check the type to perform de-optimization if the assertion appears to be wrong. But a simple 'assert type byte sequence is a known value' is still faster than a dynamic jump. A lot faster.
Depending on the road, the purpose of the speed limit might be fuel conservation rather than safety. 55 mph was imposed in the 1970s to mitigate the oil crisis; it was not driven by safety concerns. Current consensus is that posting speed limits is neither a useful nor effective tool for promoting road safety. Instead, engineers focus on the physical characteristics of the roadway to modulate the speed at which drivers will feel comfortable.

Reminder that Duplex explicitly uses Concatenative Text-to-Speech - i.e. they record humans saying phrases, and just play those soundbites back where appropriate. Sort of like a chess AI storing a dictionary of opening moves.
I've read a few! Horrifying, terrible for the soul and well-being.
Chargebacks protect users from fraudsters, which is exactly what the featured article is saying is a major problem in the cryptocurrency space. Millions of people getting scammed with no legal recourse is a problem. Retailers dealing with chargebacks less so... I've never heard of the "Merchants are thinking of no longer selling anything due to chargebacks" problem.
That's only one-side of the story. It is actually a very accurate contact model. The problem is that it's also computationally expensive and therefore we reduce the stiffness of objects to make it faster. It's basically a trade-off between the accuracy and speed.
In gaming engines you have speed and it looks good, but then it's impossible to generalize for real-life applications (because the contact is inaccurate).
> The majority of the people favor a vague description of NN in the form of "do you want to access sites for free".

Please point to all the polls or surveys that framed the question this way.

> The majority of the people has no opinion about the specific NN regulations being discussed since they don't have a slightest idea what these regulations are and how they work and what exactly changed in 2015 and 2018.

And the same can be said for our elected representatives who, on the whole, are just as technologically illiterate as these other citizens you seem to disdain so much.

> You "explained" that everybody who has technical knowledge would support NN

Really? Please quote the exact text where I made that claim.

Furthermore, that explanation is completely immaterial to the point I was responding to, which was about your claim of randomized bill voting. I suggest you reread this thread.

Yes skepticism is healthy, and I'm wrong to assume ops abilities.

It seems obvious that dapps can decentralize supplier/consumer relationships, removing the 30% that perhaps ops job relies on.
Yes, that's exactly what I ended up doing - I had a little script that took a phone number and spat out a Google Maps page.
The note to Bob says Jobs, "Wants it for nothing." Rose probably thought "you must be joking." hence, the joker epithet.

This is what I did (as far as a job goes). While southern California is still really expensive by national standards, the cost of living is half that of the bay area while the pay isn't that much less.
Populations can grow geometrically at any time. What matters to a particular "branch" is that it remains a cohesive and clearly demarcated appendage while it weathers hostile conditions. Grafting on another branch is what ensures its demise as a distinct entity.
> and provide any additional context

Any context at all would be appreciated. The Krebs article mentions almost no context whatsoever about the bug except that you found an unauthenticated API.

Can you give some details about the API?

• Did you need to exploit SS7 flaws?

• Did you reuse some kind of nonce or session auth token, or was there no security whatsoever?

• Did it take phone numbers, hashes of phone numbers, bulk queries, etc.?

• Can we see example output data that you collected from the API?

• Did you notice the API endpoint in the devtools network tab, or did you have to dig much deeper?

You should do a write-up on the issue you found.
If you think taking money for products via credit cards is difficult or expensive, you've got some surprises should you try to sell via cryptocurrencies.

Security is a huge deal. Want to get hacked? Tell people you accept bitcoin payments. Put an interface on your website. Remember to bolt your server down to the floor with big long bolts. And the backup server. And the other backup. And all the little thumbdrives. Cash is far easier to secure.

Think credit cards are difficult, try negotiating with a customer wanting a refund in bitcoins. Exactly how much bitcoin do they get today in exchange for a purchase made last week?

Nobody outside onionland handles commercially-significant crypto transactions. There are reasons.
Seems improbable, but I really wish Apple would get into the carrier business.
Related: Bitcoin is [x] distributed [x] secure but NOT [] fast. It is a global clock that self-adjusts to tick roughly every 10 minutes, and that tick is used to extend an immutable ledger by adding verified transactions to it. The tick-time is chosen to allow for global propagation to happen. Incidentally this global clock can be used for other things than sending money, such as cryptographically tying something in the real world to a point in time.
Absolutely, however, you will need to construct a muscle model for horses. The human model is a result of decades of research, MRIs etc.
A better reason not to fear the singularity is because it a science fiction concept that's connections to the real world are tenuous at best.

Anyways, I think the fear most people have is either that the AI would be far better at doing these bad things to humans than humans are (which you allude to in your comment), or they always envision themselves on the "good guys" side in human vs human conflict and don't have that comfort when it comes to AI vs human conflict.

Those fears seem valid to me if you believe in the underlying premise.
If you live in a place where said labor is plentiful (California, Florida, etc), this is a problem in so much as that job which went to someone who will work for less. For certain parts of the country, that is a viable occupation.

But that doesn't mean these jobs are in any way desirable.

In another instance, I see people who complain about Amazon's cashierless stores taking away jobs that people could do, but they don't seem to have an answer about how this situation could free those people up to do some other, potentially less menial job.
Congrats to Bo an for making TOP TEN list of rising stars in the field of AI
You are assuming every ticket purchased by MoviePass (potentially at a negotiated discount) would have been purchased at full price by the customer. This is not the case, MoviePass definitely increases the number of tickets sold. Would a theater prefer an empty seat and zero revenue, or, say a $6 ticket and a few bucks on popcorn? They already do this for matinees.
...but then isn't that true for everybody?

If this is indeed extortion on the basis that it is demanding money under threat of harm to reputation, then isn't it equally true when the state does it? That was the original point above.
Birth rates work like compound interest. Even they are marginally higher it can mean they will grow at much rapid rate in next 20 years. Also what matters truly for a nation is working age population. New hires for Google in 20 years will represent far less whites. (If blacks and hispanics do not take to STEM in large numbers the total pool of candidates will be so less)

Programs that apparently target wealth inequality such as subsidising fathering bastard children have actually hurt minority women as they tend to have more and more fatherless children who eventually end up in the world of abuse, drugs and crime.
