Not that I'm for journals, but those heavy hitters typically have their own brand in that of Google or Microsoft etc. Without an external 'brand' of Nature the importance of working for the recognised companies when submitting your research papers goes up.
Right. When you ask "how could we support deletion of nodes", am I right to assume you mean "how could we reclaim memory of deleted nodes"?

Conventionally, a free list would be used, though admittedly that sacrifices locality which was one of the original motivating factors. To the extent that deletion is a significant component of the workload, then yeah, this doesn't help.
Hold on, you cut the title short.

It'd end with a comma, then "and they posted my entire medical record, bills, insurance info, home address, etc"
If I could force everyone on HN to read one comment today, it'd be this one.
I agree with your first sentence and think your second sentence is incredibly optimistic. There are extremely few GOP candidates running in 2018 midterms who have explicitly run away from Trump - the incumbents that were outspoken against Trump decided not to run again or cannot run again.
While we are on the topic, why are we supporting IEEE? They have so many valuable as well as historical papers behind their paywall. I'm IEEE member and want to find out what can I do about this.
No, an IP on its own is not PHI. IPs must be removed when de-identifying PHI, which is not the same at all as claiming IPs are themselves PHI.

To clarify: Namibia had negative DST in (southern hemisphere) winter. They had UTC+1 in the winter (April to September) and UTC+2 in the summer. Now they're UTC+2 year-round, aligned with South Africa. The reason seems to be historical - if you're on year-round UTC+2, and you want to be on UTC+1 in winter/UTC+2 in summer, it's easier to say "we're setting the clocks back an hour in winter" than to say "we're setting the clocks back an hour year-round... and then forward an hour in summer."
Like all other shortcuts for judging a book this one has plenty of issues. However I like that it disentangles a few of those issues. Instead of judging a book by the author, cover, title and then the first page you can focus in on just one of those heuristics.

Also if you can control yourself and avoid revealing the author/title of books you don't like you won't bias yourself when you get recommendations from friends!

Article summary from its penultimate paragraph:

> Rips are a complex, dynamic hazard and the multitude of variables—swimming ability, current strength, circulation, wave size—make the threat nearly impossible to solve with one-size-fits-all advice. No single “escape strategy” is appropriate all the time, the group now says, and lifeguards in Australia currently recommend combining the advice from both MacMahan’s circulation concept and traditionalists like Brewster. If you’re not a strong swimmer, stay afloat and signal for help; if you can swim, consider paddling parallel to the beach toward breaking waves—though be mindful of the potential circulating current. “All responses,” the group concedes, “have their pitfalls.”
They may know exactly how to build something and what they need, but as I understand it they would not get full documentation about the island itself. What resources are where and what the composition of ore exactly is. So they have to develop an understanding of resources they have and that requires a laboratory and sensitive equipment.

Either way I think that lots of machinery has to be supervised 24/7 and they can work only 12h a day per rules so they would probably be left with only 10 simultaneously active workers. With 10 workers I would say it's just impossible.
"Cuba" is not declaring intent to violate the law, and investigating such a case seems like a poor use of law enforcement resources, since a) there are many legal transactions describable as "Cuba", and b) it depends on the violators being overt about their lawbreaking.

The payer could very well be referring to drinks at the Cuba Libre bar, or tickets for the Cuba Gooding Jr. movie/show.
Ask HN: How do you vet that they take security seriously?
The term "We take security seriously" has almost become a joke. Every corporation or company throws it around. Recently on a vulnerability disclosure, a megacorp stated that very line but then proceeded to hide critical details and handle things poorly.

What is the sniff test for you when deciding if a company actually does in fact take security seriously?

Also, what companies are more progressive and are actively pushing security as a differentiator? I seem to remember a company recently that not only had 3rd party code audits performed but they even disclosed details of what the auditor found. I cannot however recall the name.

Thanks

Journal reviewing is oversold in my opinion. Just like Wikipedia became a better encyclopedia than traditional encyclopedias, I don't see why open-access approaches can't be at least as efficient at truth-seeking and consesus-building than traditional journals.

I think calling people was probably part of her job.
Indeed it simplifies software, but it also makes life much easier for humans trying to coordinate communication across timezones.

There's probably some research somewhere estimating the cost to business (or loss of revenue) from mistakes in doing timezone conversions. In the simplest case, if you have a business call with someone halfway around the world, and one of you has recently gone into or out of daylight savings time, then there's a good chance the call will not happen when it should. Or perhaps you were supposed to be watching a political debate online at a given time so you could provide instant advice and feedback to advisors present in the debate, but you missed it because you didn't realize they had left DST a week before your location does.

I could go on and on with examples of the human cost to keeping the current system.
Nah. The user, judging by a quick perusal of account activity and her website, appears to be rather serious about her whole robot+person identity. She took great offense a few minutes ago when I visited the thread and a person had commented about her trolling.
Well, if it happens to one patient, how likely is it that this is common practice?

Also, she started the sentence with "I suspect", which is very different from a plain accusation.

Right? And that that 37 second offset will change from year to year?

Thanks for your feedback.

You are right that generating PDFs from HTML and Web Technologies is nothing new. Most existing PHP and node libs sadly don't provide great rendering once you have a document that consists of modern CSS and HTML or modern image formats such as SVG.

Puppeteer would indeed provide the same rendering quality but then you're responsible for the maintenance of the running instances. I'm hoping to make my user's life easier by taking this task out of their hands.

It is a cultural/generational thing. Millenials don't think twice about this. They are shocked that anyone would care. Non-millennials are shocked that anyone would share their financials publicly. We're all shocked at each other's behavior.
It all depends on what you want your constant to be.

If your constant is "the worst-case time it takes to swap in the memory from my disk", and your dataset is guaranteed to fit in local disk then memory access is in fact O(1). With a really bad constant. But in practice people care about how much better than that you can do...

Now technically the "guaranteed to fit in local disk" assumption means you're really no considering asymptotic behavior. But then the question is what one really means by asymptotic behavior in this case. What do you consider your "memory access" latency to be once your dataset is too big for the sum total of all existing storage media?
Hmm...hadn't thought about this but...same and same.

How would we know that they are truly random?

I have vague memories of reading about this kind of dark pattern when I first heard about loot boxes, but I failed to google any references now so maybe my memories are diluted with imagination.

But why wouldn't it happen? How would the public find out? Tipping the scales just a little bit, at the right times, for the right victims, could be very effective at "increasing engagement". The whole thing would even be a/b-testable, so any internal arguments against would be futile. (You'd want to keep the "a" implementation around anyways, in case you need to present source to someone who should not see how the sausage is made)

In countries with significant amounts of legal leaves (e.g. most of europe), tuesdays and thursdays are also very nice as "burning" a single leave day provides for a 4 days weekend (and 3 days week). French even has an expression for this: "faire le pont" (bridging between holiday and weekend).

It doesn't seem like the blame should fall on Facebook here, but rather the companies using Facebook's tools to age discriminate (assuming there is even blame to place at all).

Age-based targeting can be applied across their entire platform, not just for job postings, and it can be applied in either direction (i.e. companies can also create ads targeting only people over the age of 40).

> In the amended complaint, CWA alleged that Facebook encourages advertisers to exclude some job-seekers by providing both age filters and regularly updated data on how ads perform among different age groups.

IMO, this complaint achieves the opposite of what they want it to achieve. It suggests that the age-related metrics that Facebook offers are a) explicitly defined by the individual advertiser and b) are used to objectively determine the ad's effectiveness rather than to unjustly discriminate.

You're right, the most common use case would be that a client sends HTML instead of an URL to the endpoint. This way a PDF can be created of data that's not publicly exposed on the internet (think invoices, contracts, etc.)

Probably not. Definitely not any proactive monitoring. A small website could get away with waiting for users to report posts, and then following up with manual inspection.
In that scenario, you would have to have 100 accounts. It is possible to get licensed to do that (i inquired about it for an app i wanted to expand www.r3vl.com) but those music API services require a 6 digit sum of $$$ for commitment... so i moved on

quick edit, if those 100 speakers were simply ONLY broadcasting, you could get licensed as a radio, but if you want the ability to have others select songs, it is pricey

Everytime something like this comes up I feel compelled to remind everyone that in most cases I know of (NSF and NIH funded research) US taxpayer funded research must be made freely available. See https://publicaccess.nih.gov/ and https://www.research.gov/research-portal/appmanager/base/des... .

Don't get me wrong, I think the current publishing model is archiac, exploitative, and needs to change, but this whole "taxpayer funded research should be freely available argument" seems to me to oversimplify the issue and ignore the facts.

The biggest concern I would have with this is that patents exist in large part to fund very long development times, refining ideas (such as Xerox.) All in advance of production and therefore licensing or revenues from licensing. If you can interest anyone. In the case of Xerox, innumerable companies turned the invention down. A predecessor company of Xerox was willing to heavily knowing the returns would be spectacular if they were right.

To work, the market created would have to avoid collusion (which is rife now and extremely hard to detect or prosecute) and taxes could not be confiscatory (which would be extremely tempting - it's already the case that the filing fee tax is so high that poor people can't afford to patent their ideas, those ideas are given to the first company to copy the idea, swear it's theirs, and file. This may be the major source of economic inequality in the U.S. now.)

Interesting article, and I believe I have a better translation: "Today, my mom died." It sounds better than just "mom" and seems to express the right level of closeness.

OTOH I think it's often appropriate to keep "mamma" in Italian movies and texts because it carries a huge amount of connotations, which "maman" doesn't.

It's pretty common to have a script post to your account on your behalf in an automated or semi-automated way, if you're a programmer. (It's pretty common to do this on twitter too, but twitter has no interest in marking bots.)

If an account has both automated and organic posts, that account is both human and robot.

I have distilled HF out of powdered fluorspar and sulfuric acid in a home lab, from a lead tube I rolled out of sheet. I was borrowing steps described in an industrial chemistry encyclopedia from the 1860s. (All I did with it was conclusively etch/dissolve the glass receiving vessel. I didn’t have a proper receiver made of lead or paraffin-coated glass.)

This sort of thing is admittedly quite hazardous. But if you look at older chemistry publications, you might be surprised what is possible with relatively crude equipment.

I seriously doubt that my mom would have been willing to work in the fields for any amount of money.

Heck, I wouldn't. Once you have a comfortable lifestyle, the marginal value of a dollar goes down.

After the kids get 4-5 they are in school during the day and you have the same schedule for the holidays and the summer.

My mom not only went back to work part time for the school board, she voluntarily took a pay cut from what they were willing to offer her so she could work more hours helping at risk kids without interfering with her pension.

She could have easily worked at a college, made more money and received her full pension

The main thing that strikes me is that the assumption if we do not allow these so called "entrepreneurs" in then we would have lost out on the "half" of >$1B companies founded by them.

I have been thinking a lot lately that we are trying to solve class of XY Problem.

Universal time is in part about trying to order events in a strict order. Probelm is, nobody observed that order. Later we infer things about the system based on this chronology but it’s completely fictitious and we have to stretch our brains to explain the state of the system.

The Java Memory Model, and subsequently several other languages, agreed on “happens before” semantics. We don’t care what order certain things occurred in as long as these key events happen in the right order. Because those events cause the other events or are caused by them. Some transactional models have a flavor of this as well. This write happened based on a decision made by observing all of the transactions up to N, which may or may not result in a rollback because N+1 overwrote a read value.

I can’t help thinking that our logs should show something like “customer saw their balance was $102.75 and withdrew $100, and on another server a payment for $55 was honored around the same time, which is why they are now overdrawn”. The two events were independent, and maybe we should remember them the way the distributed system experienced them.

Or maybe that’s even harder to reason about than the fiction we use now...
