How to PREVENT TOXIC LEADERSHIP IN TECH STARTUPS
Currently, Bitcoin has been operating fine for almost a decade and with a massive bounty for anyone that can break its system.

Technically you can still build a lot with Bitcoin's limited scripting language. The lightning network being one.
I have to disagree. A phishing scam from "billing.foo.com" would be much harder to spot than one from "user-content.foo.com/billing". Especially if the user has free reign over the style + content.

If the user is going to be able to design + style the pages any way they want, having something in the URL to indicate it's still user content is important.
If you're actually curious, I'd suggest leaving off the slam next time.
2G and 3G networks are shutting down globally
It's also important that these notifications are sent to an address that is permanently assigned to a role, e.g. noc@company.com, rather than to any particular person, e.g. steve@company.com. Steve might not be there the next time those domains come up for renewal.

The same rule applies to any email address that you use to purchase and renew domains and other critical services. If renewal emails are being sent to someone who doesn't work there anymore, something is very wrong.
Yes, that would be a way of describing it. I don’t know what I felt, and I can’t say there weren’t physical signs and just a rush of emotion being mistaken as something spiritual, but it seemed to happen out of the blue and my brother who was there later asked me tentatively if something weird had happened to me too. In my dogmatic past I’ve mentally dismissed other people’s stories like this as improbable or exaggerated or superstitious. But it was unmistakably strong and I’ve lost my surety.
On the Laptop (Macbook Pro) speakers at the midpoint I consistently hear Yanny.
Upon reading a comment below, I decided to try earphones, in which case, my midpoint became Laurel.

How do you get these contracts accepted? According to https://curiosity-driven.org/bitcoin-contracts :

> Transactions containing non-standard scripts like these will not be relied through the Bitcoin network but if they are included in a block they will be accepted by the standard client.
> it would have been easy to find some other donor

If I recall correctly they had been trying to grow a cell line for years. Her cancer had a specificity that made it possible.
In my personal anecdotal experience, Amazon is quite good at extending Prime for another month (so basically only a few dollars) or refunding "sane" shipping charges. They are just about incapable of admitting that they messed up, though, and will promise you just about anything only to turn around and say "no, we can't do that" if it is anything that would actually cost them.
It is also who dies. Five American dying in Iraq is a tragedy worth reporting, a few hundred dying in American bombing is not so much.

Media is controlled (either directly or due to false sense of patriotism) or biased. Probably both.
Find a solid proof-of-work system for sharing signed data in this manner and you will change the world. Especially if you can re-combine the shared model with the local model.

At what point can we just stop and consider that maybe women are just choosing not to do physics & maths for some non-biased related reason?
Not particularly surprising, as the BIOT's only residents are the US and UK military, since the UK deported the 1500 Chagossians in the 70s.
Maybe not everyone - I think there are some people who already have fuzzy boundaries and for whom boundary-dissolving compounds are not the best medicine.

But yes, most people. :-)
Having run a very large enterprise channel in the past, I'm a big fan of powering new businesses this way. Good luck
I had that happen to me once. The Amazon rep told me the item was being transferred to a warehouse near me before being shipped out "2 day shipping". That sounds like 7 day shipping to me.
As long as fuel prices don't jump, right? What a crazy business.
That’s oddly specific, I am sure you have 100x better way to harvest passwords. Like run a free proxy server.
If there is a guaranteed delivery date, they have to honor it.

This was a couple of years ago - I ordered replacement computer parts to get a failed laptop up and running for a critical timeline. The parts didn’t arrive so I had to search for them and over pay locally. Amazon issued a full refund and told me to keep the parts since they were already in transit.

Not sure if the story would be the same if the items were not sold by Amazon directly, but instead via the marketplace.

I feel like this comment right here is what everyone who has taken psychedelics (and had a positive experience) want to say. But nobody does because they don't wanna seem "crazy" or strange. As someone who never even touched alcohol until 18 or so, I never ever thought I'd be the one saying the entire world needs to try LSD

Is going no-code really help in cutting the cost of hiring IT staffs?
Have come across this benefit of no-code in most of the websites that adopting no-code have cut the cost of hiring staffs for IT department. But is this really true? I don't think that this is having any effect on reducing the cost spent. Can any subject matter experts throw some light on this?
Jesus. My brain is being all messed with today.
Git is not the same in this case. Since git branches are just refs, I can do whatever commits or other changes I want and then assign a branch name. With hg every commit you make must first be done on the branch you want. This, when understood fully, can allow git to be much more flexible when manipulating the tree.

How to Ensure a Smooth Migration to SAP S/4 HANA

For a very long time, DNS simply has not been an identified risk for most corporations. In the risk analysis they make, DNS is not on the map at all, even though it may be a single point of complete collapse for them. Thus we see extremely large corporations depending on a single DNS provider, using a registrar that are more interested in profit rather than resilience against attacks, no DNSSEC. Etc etc. This is slowly changing. What is. Not changing fast enough is the ability to run more than one DNS provider, giving you yet another spof.
10 years sounds a bit inflexible for me. Things can get a little weird if you switch registrars but you have more than 9 years left on your domain so you can't get a full additional year.

I do try to maintain a margin of at least 3 years on important personal and business domains, though.

Less than 37 months left = immediate attention required.

All I have to say to that is that regardless of how you feel about them the US picked Trump and the UK picked Brexit. These were both events that demonstrated that elite opinion was so cloistered the rubes started throwing molotovs at the political system, in some cases just for the cheap laugh in the voting booth.

Yes, the UK absolutely needs additional dissent.
AI could smoothen your interactions with mobile service providers
I think it most likely has to do with catering to the PH audience and what they may like. HN, DN, and other sites work the same way, most of the time your product/content has to cater to that audience's interests. It can also depend on when you posted, since new products go live on the homepage after midnight.

What Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin looks for in entrepreneurs
This is an interesting discussion, as I’ve recently run into problems with transferring a domain from domain.com to google domains.

I’ve heard good things about google domains in the past and the price seemed right (never had a problem with domain.com, but they charge separately for domain privacy) and now I’m stuck in Vonnegut-like situation. They locked my account because apparently the record that was transferred in doesn’t exactly match my uploaded govt ID. I can’t/won’t change my legal name, and the account is locked so I can’t fix the record. The phone support was sympathetic but said I had to go through email, which I’m pretty sure is an AI. This has been going on for a month now, and I’m pretty sure I’m never going to get this resolved.

I haven’t seen any discussion or experiences people have with AWS route 53. Is that a valid option? Seems reasonable and has privacy included.
The problem with relying on auto-renew is that, sooner or later, your credit card will expire (or the employee who was in charge of the domain will be gone) and the renewal will fail. The account needs maintenance one way or another.
It's been building with every school shooting, public gun violence, and high tension political gathering. The conversation takes place at the local level, often at the specific school itself, the specific campus, stadium and shopping district. You see, many of these places are private, so they can do what ever they want to a large degree; and many of the public spaces are patrolled by private security companies, who use the most cost effective method to cover large areas. The police are the end of the line as far as deploying facial recognition.
Nevermind that - what animal abuse? r4unwud, I didn't see any animal abuse mentioned in the article.

Show HN: Access Google Voice from the menu bar of your mac
There used to be apps that let you access google voice from the menu bar, but they no longer exist or I couldn't find anything in the market so I created a simple website wrapper for google voice. You can check it out at voicenotifies.com. It allows you to quickly glance at the menu bar and see how many messages, missed calls and voicemails you have, you can also reply to messages. Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements. I hope you find it useful. P.S. It's a mac app, if there is a lot of interest, I'll create a windows version. Thanks

He also writes, “Anyone can do whatever they want with our code, for free.” The MIT license does allow one to do almost whatever one wants (e.g., sell a product based on a closed-source fork), so his statement may be consistent. Or it’s possible that he is actually disclaiming all copyright in the code. Or maybe he’s implying that he won’t go after license violators.

So, I guess I agree that his intent could be more clearly stated.
I think a lot of data engineers and transcoding folks would have similar reports. But you’re right; the problem with DevOps is the reach of their usefulness. If your whole company is built on code, your DevOps team will always be overworked and under appreciated.
You mean wherever there is llvm? It's a large subset, but it is still a subset.
>Well, it sounds like you went from being an atheist to an agnostic. That certainly is a more rational and less dogmatic position to take, based on what we know.

I'm not sure why this argument shows so often (and it's not even limited to religion), but it's an incredibly bad one. The positions here are not a ternary matter. The options are not limited to 100% one way, 100% the other, or right in the middle.

The 'most rational' position lies somewhere in that continuum. When converting to the usual trinary labels, one extreme or the other may end up being the most rational position. The center is not automatically best.

> I was a staunch atheist before psychedelics, now the notion of a purely material universe seems naive.

Continuing to try to avoid the religion topic directly, I'd caution you against reading too much into your trips, which your excerpt oddly points out as well. Our brains are rather questionable devices for perceiving the world as it really is even when they are functioning properly. There is no reason to believe intentionally screwing with it's functioning would somehow increase it's ability to perceive the world truthfully.

I can see potential value in using trips to improve lateral thinking, and perhaps even for insight into yourself, but in terms of exposing hidden secrets of the universe... There's no rational basis for that, and the most likely explanation seems to be the combination of the intentional misfiring and the usual imperfect operation of our brains.
MarsVR Project – A Virtual Reality Experience to Support Mars Exploration
The Mars Society, the world’s largest space advocacy group dedicated to the human exploration and settlement of the planet Mars, is building a new open-source virtual reality platform called MarsVR, which will be used for serious research to support the goal of sending humans to the Red Planet.

The MarsVR program will be a unique multi-phase effort designed to pioneer the emerging field of CrowdExploration, which we define as the partnership between the first astronauts on Mars and VR experts and enthusiasts back on Earth. The Mars Society aims to develop a special VR platform to assist with the initial human exploration of Martian landing sites.

Phase 1 of the MarsVR program will focus on designing training simulations for the Mars Society’s Mars Desert Research Station in Utah, providing direct assistance in preparing MDRS crew members for their analog research and testing. Since every moment at MDRS is valuable, just like actual astronauts working in space, the Mars Society wants its crew members to make the most of their time “on Mars.” We will also open-source the key elements of the platform so that the general public can freely make use of it to experience human Mars exploration.

As part of the new MarsVR initiative, the Mars Society plans to build a high-resolution simulation of the entire MDRS habitat, both inside and out. To complete the experience, Mars Society staff will scan a one-square mile capture of the Mars-like terrain around MDRS using the latest photogrammetry techniques.

From the article:

> Developers regularly show up on Github, rage at us for something like not supporting Postgres - and then we say "ok so are you going to write and maintain Postgres support for Ghost?" and they say "of course not, I don't have time for that!" - and then occasionally they'll go on Twitter and tell all their followers to give us hell. As if organising a mob and shouting louder is the best way to get a bunch of people writing free code to do what you want.

Another 'fun' implication of this are the increasingly large number of sites that try to obtain your phone number either through SMS messages during account setup, two factor authentication, or any other number of ways. The accounts you have on those sites link directly to your physical presence. Taking it one small step further, any accounts on other sites you have linked to those accounts are similarly effected. Taking it one step even your dynamic IP address at any given moment can end up working as a physical identifier.

The amount of information the NSA has on people is going to be phenomenal. It'd be interesting to be able to glimpse the data just to see how much we all give away. Here's to hoping we never once ever end up putting a 'bad' person in high office because the amount of targeted damage somebody could do with this information is just staggering to even consider.

Aldous Huxley, dying of terminal cancer, took LSD on his deathbed, and died while on his final trip (it was planned that way), although a relatively low dose of 100ug.

It seems to me like it would be a good way to go, a good way to conquer the fear of the unknown after you die.

In a related experience, once when I was on a bender, I took 3 tabs of lsd, along with a whole plethora of other substances. I actually thought I was dead for a while, and strangely enough, I felt OK about it. I saw some pretty weird shit on that trip, it was the most mindblowing experience of my life, and not one I'm about to repeat in a hurry, it honestly wasn't that fun. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is not an instruction manual.

But then I sobered up. I really think that Hunter S Thompson was right: it's all bullshit. You're not connecting to another plane of existence or getting in touch with your ancestors. You're just fucked on drugs. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not spiritual.

He really nailed it in Fear and Loathing:

> All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours, too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped to create...a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody-or at least some force-is tending the Light at the end of the tunnel.

The "powers that be" are the collective owners of the franchises at the local mall, putting pressure on the mall security contractor. The "powers that be" are the loss prevention departments at every major retailer. They are also the security at every sports stadium, college campus, and local school district who are strapped for cash, looking to cover large areas in as cost effective a manner as possible. If you are looking for some over arching authority that says "yes we do" or "no we don't" as a society, I think the active adoption of FR by all these smaller private players is and is the end of the discussion.

XUL is still alive but XBL is at least going away now. XUL will probably eventually go away too.
The Google Play Music and YouTube Music teams were merged about a year ago, and have been working on producing a single app that can serve both userbases since then. I assume this announcement means they’ve finished that work. (Source: I was on the team at the time, but I’ve been gone for a while at this point.)
For me, just casually dropping in to subreddits from a web search, I recoil at the suggestion of signing-up and slogging through curating and filtering until I achieve Reddit Nirvana. Life is too short.

Particularly when other topic-focused communities already exist i.e. what problem are subreddits solving?

And to invert that to the whole set, what problem is Reddit solving? I think they've asked themselves that and the response is this new UX which has the non-answer 'don't know, but let's keep eyeballs on our site and away from Facebook'.
One metric I'd love to see is the comparison between use of the link to visit the old site from the new site as opposed to the link to the new site from the old
