Have never been this hated by my husband who nearly killed me just because i wanted to lay my hand on his Samsung phone and i was treated like i was a small kid i endured for too long but i could not take it any longer then i was informed of a hacker who saves relations by hacking into cell phones without physical access to there phones and after contacting him mehn i got results of what my husband has been hiding on his phone i got to read all his whats-app messages, text messages and most especially his deleted text messages then i knew what had been going on with him lately i found out my husband is a BIG CHEAT but am happy that i found a helper please you all should feel free to contact this hacker (BLACKHATTHACKER@TUTA.IO) he was the hacker that helped me hack into my spouse phone and i must confess this hacker is fast and easy going you all would love his hacking skills.

Well, it depends on your exact bike and commute. A large-bore naked bike plus several places on the commute which allow spirited up to highway speeds combine to a pretty good back workout. I guess a slow commute in purely suburban / urban traffic on a supersports or a scooter wouldn't be as useful though.

I mean, that's the whole distinction between Marxism and Leninsim, right? The idea of a vanguard party that facilitates the transition to communism? I can't imagine that Lenin would look at Stalinist USSR, and say "oh yeah, we've actually transitioned to communism now".

I think we still have a long way to come in regards to handling private keys. In my efforts to get my family/friends informed on cryptocurrency it amazes me how difficult these things are.

I think that is why Coinbase has been so successful. If my mom wants to hold some bitcoin, I'm sending her to coinbase. She can't be trusted with her own private keys.

I'm interested to read more on the multi-sig escrow services you mentioned though. Do you have any recommended reading material on the matter? Thanks.
I assume people start their cars to warm the cabin. I expect there are much more efficient ways to warm the cabin than using excess heat from an internal combustion engine under the hood. Perhaps the solution is to provide a way to warm the cabin (including seats and steering wheel) very rapidly when the car starts, or provide a way to warm the cabin without starting the engine.

The latter solution requires an energy source. Perhaps a hybrid car's batteries are it - not an option until recently, but hybrids are now relatively common - and the energy could be used efficiently: Ambient air heaters, of course; plus heaters directly in seats and steering wheel to warm them more efficiently than the ambient air would; plus of course sensors to shut down heaters when things are sufficiently warm.

OT: Did the NY Times change their layout recently? For the first time, IMHO, it's gone from functional to appealing.
Your concerns are realistic. Whether or not you have depression is entirely orthogonal to whether you are facing real and valid obstacles in your life. Please don’t take my comment as invalidating your feelings or difficulties. Depression has a lot more to do with the mental resources you can bring to bear in dealing with those difficulties.

From what you say, I believe you saw a talk therapist (often a psychologist or licensed therapist) rather than a medical doctor (psychiatrist). I strongly suggest you see a medical doctor. No competent psychiatrist will tell you that you’re beyond help. There are a slew of medications, cognitive therapies, and other interventions available. It’s a process to find out which combination may help you, but it’s rare to find someone that can’t achieve some level of relief.

Also, I thought I read your whole piece, but I guess I blanked on that passage. Sorry.
Ideally tests should not require preparation, thats where the issue is.
If you're already using react/redux, there's one really nice pattern to make eventsourcing easy to implement. I learned it from the boardgame.io google project[1].

Basically redux is more or less already doing eventsourcing on the client. You have actions("events") that tells your global state what the next state should be, and replaying the history of all actions will deterministically get you to your current state. The only thing you need to do is persist that history of actions in your state also (which is already commonly done for implementing undo and time-travel).

Then all that is left is to make your server use these same events too! This means whenever you save to the server, rather than doing GraphQL/REST-style per resource updates, you just sync any unsaved redux actions from the client. The server will save these actions and optionally replay them to get a snapshot of current state (or don't - that's just an optimization. The queue of actions is the first class citizen now).

Afterwards realtime collaboration, undo/time-traveling, history/audit logging, etc all come for free.

This is a really nice way to unify event shape design that is consistent on client and server.

[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15946425 or https://github.com/google/boardgame.io.

(I am making it sound a little simpler than it is. There's a lot of details to get right with state design, tagging actions as relevant to be persisted, multiplayer conflict resolution, app versioning issues, event queue compaction, serverside permissions validation, etc. But to get a prototype up and running quickly what I said above will work. Boardgame.io didn't worry about those details but it's still a nice codebase to study)
That was already addressed, in the parent comment's quote

I'm not an expert, but I'm not a trend-follower either. I've been anti-Facebook from early days. It was obvious from the beginning that they were far more of an attack on the open internet than Google.

It was Google Plus that pushed Facebook to even acknowledge and support at all the idea that people had different personas in different contexts and wanted to relate to and share with different people in different ways.

Google has long offered far more actual control and transparency than Facebook. Google offers products that should exist at least, such as web searching to state the obvious. Facebook-style social media shouldn't exist — they want to be an AOL-type walled-garden.

My opinions have nothing to do with the media, and I'm not apologizing for Google or Amazon's real problems.

I don't want to get into defending Apple (their direction with iOS years ago was the final straw that drove me to move to GNU/Linux full time). I could go on about why I now still feel MS is worse though.

Overall, you speculate a lot about how my judgments are probably superficial. What I'll admit is that they ARE general impressions, not a detailed analysis. But my concerns are not johnny-come-lately scapegoating or unthoughtful.

> some sort of moral high-ground

GNU has the moral high ground here, not even Linux has that.

To be clear, I'm not even saying Facebook is useless. It has some value and has captured a ton of value (which is why it makes sense for people to use it to get the value they've captured). On that note, consider that Facebook does far more to destroy the long-term archival value of the internet than Google.

There aren't comparable complaints like this: https://daringfireball.net/2017/06/fuck_facebook for Google or the other companies, even though they have their own serious issues.

I'm highly critical of them all.

The title posted here makes no sense at all. It's not the original and it has nothing to do with the article. The moderators should really change it as it implies somehow that the high cost of drugs is the fault of the American people, not the horrible patent laws that we have no control over or the actual drug companies exploiting ill people for mass profits.
I love HN sometimes. A long thread of nutritional bro science getting basic physiology wildly wrong, literally leading off with the comment “don’t listen to what those doctors tell you”? All kosher.

"Yesterday we discussed how Robinhood had raised $363 million in new funding at a $5.6 billion post-money valuation. All of that was primary capital, but we've since learned from multiple sources that there also was a secondary transaction whereby Robinhood's co-founders and some early employees cashed out just north of $100 million."

the most notable part of this for me is that instead of working on their main business, they are veering off in an unrelated direction just because it's potentially lucrative. Does it mean they've given up on storage as a business to go after?

As someone who hasn't used Java since the early 2000s, I am surprised that it took them this long to get some features that I have taken for granted for many many years elsewhere. What surprises me even more is that there are Java islanders treating this update as something to be proud of. Can someone enlighten me as to why this language is still popular? I get that there is legacy software that uses it, and therefore a demand. But what is the appeal otherwise?
I'm running a fairly large mining farm. This article is spot on.

Another point that isn't discussed is that the software solutions to manage large numbers of Pi/Beaglebone class machines is non-existent.

Because of the fast time to market, these machines are unstable... parts burn out all the time, they go offline randomly, a bad PSU can make a machine reboot every 10 minutes (making doing anything with it difficult), etc. Never mind, just keeping track of where an individual machine is in a data center (needle in a haystack).

There is a couple commercial and open source offerings, but the majority of them were built for when farms were only a handful of machines. Scaling to thousands of machines across different data centers has a lot of the same scaling issues I'd have running the same number of EC2 instances.

If you look on Github, you can see that most public development in the mining community stopped around 2014-2015 and hasn't picked up again. Even the largest pools have taken things closed source.

I find it amazing that literally billions of dollars is flowing through this stuff. If it wasn't for math being so factual, I'd really question it all because it is all barely held together with heat sink grease.
A valuation is defined as an estimation of value. It's not a guarantee, it's not a sale contract, but does that make it rainbows and unicorns? Well, about as much as any other estimation around a highly complex and mostly unique construct, I would say.

It's certainly the first step towards a possible sale.
My particular use case might have been kind of weird, but -- I was working on a HTTPS client and I wanted to hit a local HTTPS server for some of the tests in the client.
I don't honestly believe "we'll just end up paying janitors more" actually works out.

You pay teachers more, you pay policemen more, and your taxes go up. You start paying all the waitresses more, the supermarket workers more, the janitors more, your cost of living just goes up.

Wage isn't really an absolute, it's a ratio to the cost of living. So in response to all their food getting more expensive, their taxes going up, etc, you end up paying all your darling tech/finance workers more. Then you're right back where you started. You've solved absolutely nothing, you've just embiggened some numbers.

I think this is actually a stronger argument for sealing the garage off from the house, detached if possible. There are any number of bad things being stored in many garages that make it useful to seal your garage well away from the house.
You really haven’t engaged with my last comment, you’re just continuing your previous comment. Your doubling down on your attempt to compare harassing a black shoplifter and people’s initial replies to the GP is quite telling.
I think you’re purposely looking for something to disagree with on this issue so that you can count some sort of moral victory.

I said I wouldn’t respond, but you wrote this:

> I think you owe the poster an apology, not dismissive instructions to "chill".

So for the record, no, I absolutely and without qualification* do not apologize, and yes, you and the GP need to step back as I have said and reevaluate objectively. The GP’s post clarifies that he is not a sex tourist. But as others have pointed out, his original post makes that suspicion entirely reasonable. Please don’t expect further replies from me, I haven’t gained anything from this conversation and I don’t think you have either.

EDIT: I will allow the qualification that this is obviously a painful subject to discuss, and ideally we could avoid pain like this altogether. But whatever bizarre viewpoint you are arguing is not one that will lead to less pain for those in loving relationships involving people from those countries, and it is not one which will help with the very real problem of sex tourism. If I see a post like the GP’s again, I will reply the same way (note I was not even replying to him, but rather explaining why people replied they way they did).

It is hard to foresee the consequences of a paradigm shift.

"A much discussed topic is the IP address. The GDPR states that IP addresses should be considered personal data as it enters the scope of ‘online identifiers’. Of course, in the case of a dynamic IP address – which is changed every time a person connects to a network – there has been some legitimate debate going on as to whether it can truly lead to the identification of a person or not. The conclusion is that the GDPR does consider it as such. The logic behind this decision is relatively simple. The internet service provider (ISP) has a record of the temporary dynamic IP address and knows to whom it has been assigned. A website provider has a record of the web pages accessed by a dynamic IP address (but no other data that would lead to the identification of the person). If the two pieces information would be combined, the website provider could find the identity of the person behind a certain dynamic IP address. However, the chances of this happening are small, as the ISP has to meet certain legal obligations before it can hand the data to a website provider. The conclusion is, all IP addresses should be treated as personal data, in order to be GDPR compliant."

PII or not PII it is still covered by GDPR.
Neither does your suggestion of predefined formats. May want to flesh that out a bit if you had something different in mind.
I don't have any expectation they complete the task. That's not really the point, so time-bounding it isn't something I worry about. The point is that they're able to engage and contribute in some way: insightful feedback, mentoring, reintegrative learning, productive collaboration, etc. depending on the shape of role that's being hired for.

The tasks can be writing docs, writing requirements, writing property-based tests, writing CLI tools for developer ergonomics, formally modelling and verifying a scheduler, designing a DSL for safety-constraints or characterizing the electrical interfaces of a car's steering system. It's not entirely material what the tasks are. There will be opportunities in any of those to get good indicators of the important factors.

FWIW, the purported consistency of evaluating people using the same contrived task is fairly unlikely to be actually consistent, and even if it were, the value of what you can actually meaningfully derive from it is still deeply questionable all the same. As a result the reality is more likely that those situations are producing negative net benefit.
It's more about the ratios than the example frequencies I provided. That's more apparent if you play an instrument with an exposed string and a finger-board but still true if it's hidden under e.g., the hood of a piano. The definition of consonance versus dissonance is basically whether or not the ratio is simple. The overtone/undertone series from which the various scales are derived is also one only one logical step away. One step past that gets you to diatonic harmony which leads to harmonic progression/retrogression which makes up the bulk of my theory text book and the real gist that I was getting at.

If you can provide a better overview or point out how it's anything more than a bunch of terms/shorthand for sonic patterns, I'd love to be informed.
The idea of advertising is also to create interest where there is none. If you all of a sudden see an ad about those other topics your aren't super interested yet, maybe you will become. That's the idea of manipulation and marketing.

Just so I'm not misunderstanding you....so, any thing (I'm looking for examples of specific beliefs or policy goals that are motivated by Nationalism but passed off as patriotism) any politician in Israel believes is Nationalist, but presented(?) as patriotic? What does this look like in action?

Or have I misunderstood?
I wonder how many "parts" of the Internet are simply going to be inaccessible over the course of the year to individuals residing within the EU as websites take a rudimentary "block all EU traffic" approach as a first swing at preventing their services from being offered to EU residents.
This article is lazy, superficial mockery. (So, it's totally on-brand for the modern Salon.)

* Knocks Vinge as having "lacked the business savvy to fully exploit the market potential of his ideas" – as if he'd tried, and failed, instead of just been a successful professor & award-winning SF author. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernor_Vinge)

* Sneers at Kurzweil as if he's one-act Singularity huckster – when in fact his notoriety stems from a long, successful career as a inventor/technologist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Kurzweil). The exponentialism is an important part of his later writing & speaking, and perhaps a motivating/unifying theme for his other work and overall optimism, but hardly the whole Kurzweil.

A funny thing about Kurzweil is despite the far-out nature of his projections & predictions & prescriptions, in his tone and presentation, he's still really understated – a mild-mannered professor making interesting observations.

If there's even an outside chance he's right, he (or someone else) would be justified with a far more emphatic, 'evangelical', alarm-raising presentation. "Big changes are coming, we'd better get ready!"
I've just recently learned about the usefulness of PV, here is an excellent quick demonstration:

The case for points over time estimates as I understand it, is that humans are not necessarily good at estimating in terms of time. We are good at estimating complexity in reference to other similar things. You can estimate that a new task is more/less/the same complexity as a similar task performed in the past more accurately than how long it will take.

After a while of doing this (as a group, not individually), you can get a velocity that starts to give you a good historical estimate of how long it takes to complete a given point, and use that to have realistic commitments for your work.

Note that one team cannot be compared to another because each group will estimate differently, with one group maybe estimating more conservatively, so their points and velocities will seem bigger and more productive than other groups. This is the reason why management should not use velocity as a performance indicator.

Since you need a history of estimating to get the velocity to accurately plan, this system is unreliable if the team is constantly switching out teammates. At my company we switch up the teams pretty often, so pointing doesn't really work well for us in this case.

Yep, that's my rule even with properly-running engines: The car won't start until the garage door is open.

If I could hack up some sort of ignition interlock such that an Arduino or Pi could broadcast a killswitch signal while the garage door is closed, I could more effectively enforce that rule.
