Why would you want the tech to be standardized?

There should be some sensible kind of road test, but it'd be a terrible outcome for regulators to specify exactly how the technology should work for a given model year.
I didn't say "ads have never been a thing". I'm saying they are no longer viable. Sort of like horse-draw buggies were no longer viable after the arrival of the automobile.
With skiing in the east an industry in rough shape since it doesn't snow anymore, and agriculture in a slow death spiral, Vermont is trying to embrace it's potential as a bedroom community for NYC and Boston.

Burlington is a cool little city and the countryside is beautiful as well. If they can use a small program like this to stimulate some cadre of "pioneers", they'll get alot of value, and perhaps some improved outlooks for underutilized former IBM people.
Go uses less CPU and is less crashy, both of which are nice in a dashboard.

It also seems like more generic modules may handle the use cases you'd want a DSL for.

For instance, there's already a text module; if a similar module can listen to a FIFO or even listen on a socket, you can just throw whatever you need into it from any language that can write to a filehandle.

If it can handle ANSI escapes, most commands that can write to a terminal would work with it. So `{clear; ls --color=always} > /whatever/fifo` or `> /dev/tcp/whatever/1234` could stick to my dashboard.

I think companies that don’t have some statement of corporate ethics are going to find themselves starved for talent while the ones who do eat their lunch. I’m seeing it happen across the professional services industry; the big 4 are consistently outperformed by smaller shops that bring a more diverse team.

The “don’t be evil” pledges are a big part of why people feel safe at those companies. Millennials and especially the generation after them need to be involved with institutions that reflect their values. They are more than willing to go create them if they don’t exist.

I do not need an algorithm or even to think when I’m in a dangerous situation. My mind will react and I will assess the situation afterwards. Millions of years of experience has trained life. I can see the same traits in my dogs.
I (try to) block all throwaway mail providers, but give users the possibility to delete the mail after confirming the account. Then I keep a salted hash of the mail address for 6 month to deny another sign up. Only reason being spam protection.
I think its a good system. We should set something similar up.
honestly $10000 is not a lot of money these days to make someone move to a different state. Make it $50,000-100,000 in tax credits and people will consider. They have to be more aggressive with their offer in order to have any decent amount of response.

$10000 does not even buy you a decent cheap car.
You did that. I didn't specify any type of blog. Blogs are more often than not about self marketing.

Any why don't you want to answer the second part?
Then have the office in the city and allow remote work as an option, best of both?

I've done both, a lot for those smart young people you mention, often lack hobbies, and those ones are extremely boring. I'd rather remote in from a mountain town where I can ski, mountain bike and hike than suffer year round with decreased QoL of a city.
I don't think that analogy works well, because if there was a dependency in standards that led to this outcome, would it not be better to break the dependency going forward, or to have avoided it in the first place?

And not having an ISO C standard for sign-magnitude machines (which is not a necessary consequence of the proposed change, it is just the worst case, depending on how ISO chose to deal with the consequences for such machines) does not necessarily force an end to actual C support for them.
The recent tax changes cap that at $10k, which is a problem for high-income people in blue states.
I don’t think we can say that the AI winter is coming without these large funding rounds.
I'll come over to your computer and explain the same concepts in ten minutes that would take me an hour or two to write up and format in a manner that I would want to display publicly.

That’s right, but multiplied by the number of people who read it…?
That's a good argument and I hope you're right.
Aside from the nasty eugenics overtones of this concept, it's flawed from the perspective of how warped the reward system of America's brand of capitalism is. All of our forms of measuring merit are deeply distorted. We pour advantages upon those who have already benefited from previous advantage and then congratulate ourselves for our foresight in identifying how deserving they are when they continue to flourish. The result is a lot of mediocrity elevated and "unrecognized" talent squandered. Scare quotes, because the interlocking circles of privilege and protectionism are how our system is designed to work. We are a deeply elitist society mascarading as a humble, objective meritocracy. No one with advantages actually wants fair competition.

It's definitely a strange phrase in some ways. But I would say that the way the wording makes sense if you consider 'near' to be an adjective to 'miss' and that 'near' in this case means 'close' and not something else like 'approximate'.

Haha :D do not worry you take a look at the network tab of the webmaster tools of your browser, and there is nothing weird recorded by the server
Interesting read, I didn't know anything about that. It seems like all would be solved if they put even a tiny bit of effort into vetting uploads. What type of educational site allows most any upload to make it through? They're approach seems to be reactive as compared to other sites being proactive, another red flag.
Presumably complying with the import tax is a PITA. Import/export usually is. Certainly it's more work than adding a redirect.

There may also be some organizational lines being crossed; I can imagine the American site team doesn't really want to deal with Australian tax issues.
That sounds accurate that most money making strategies are based off simple logic and observations. Seems people are blindly impressed by ML and convolutional neural networks, even if they do not yield any impressive results.

I built system to determine which fundamental or technical factors have the most influence over a stock price. It required a fair amount of manual tinkering and sample runs to eliminate variance. The system itself is not that complex but it works. When I have demo'd it in a interview usually the interviewers are not that impressed... they are expecting that the system must be very complicated to have any results.
So I'm gonna be honest: I don't have much time or patience for "but webpack is complex" complaints. Webpack is complex, sure. It has many moving parts. It is not complicated, and that means its complexity is more or less "remember a few nouns". Each of the parts those nouns encapsulate is simple and obvious with straightforward inputs and outputs. The interactions may not always be so straightforward--but, in practice, they are. I am comfortable asserting that you shouldn't be surprised by anything webpack or gulp or whatever does. If you are, you haven't internalized what you're working on to a sufficient degree. Because it is just. not. that. big. a. deal.

"Just get things done" when the way you're doing so is less clear, less testable, and less reliable is not, to me, the hallmark of a developer I would trust with anything I cared about.
It’s now capped at $10k with last years tax law change

>Huh? Newport Beach is the busiest port in the world. Cross-Pacific trade dwarfs cross-Atlantic trade.

Huh? Newport Beach? If you mean the Port of Los Angeles, which is next to Long Beach, but is actually in San Pedro, you're not even close. It's not even the busiest in America.

Measured by tonnage: Busiest port in the world is Ningbo-Zhoushan, China. Busiest American port is South Louisiana (#14 worldwide).[0]

Measured by containers: Busiest port in the world is Shanghai, China. Busiest American port is Los Angeles (#17 worldwide).[1]

Not (as much, see below) anymore. That was specifically removed by the recent tax overhaul

The more cynical view is that this was done on purpose to harm blue states that tend to have higher state income taxes
I keep on wondering if the Social Credit system is just for parallel reconstruction of events or not (or maybe both).

For the first one they are doing object classification & identification in realtime.

The second one is identifying crowds using a heatmap.
This is strange. Sometimes it happens when another software like Skype is using the webcam
They do, to the extent required by ANSI C++14, ANSI C++17 upgraded the requirements to C11.

They are pretty open the future of systems programming on Windows is C++ and .NET Native.

For C devs, they have helped clang to work on Windows and there is WSL for UNIX like software.

Just like they have improved Visual Studio integration with clang and gcc.

As for Visual C++, the name says it all.

> notoriously high-tax state
Some societies think that it is wise to spend on some things such as education (see https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2015/06/02/the-...). Others think that lowering taxes at whatever cost is better. The former fits with my thinking, which is why I like it here.

It's a little more nuanced than that, and not necessarily an either/or as you have described it. More than likely in my experience, the people who think lowering taxes is good think so because they view the government as an inefficient, third-party spender and believe the money could be better spent more wisely elsewhere. While Vermont does rank high in K-12 (4th), it is ranked 36th in higher education. Vermont is also the 2nd least populated state in the country, so it remains to be seen how scale will impact the education system there.
Sadly enough, I've actually had lesser luck contacting local businesses in the UK as a customer, than contacting larger ones.
We’re the cryptographers who wrote it allowed to leave the country?
- Vast prison population
- Declining life expectancy
- Horrific traffic

These 3 at least are a very american-centric view of things. In our good old Europe (excluding UK) things are way better.

Now, some things on your list are universal :/…
I think it was a sarcastic reference, which is why they chose such a strong word.
Agreed.

And income is one thing. Should those taxes add value, the actual difference in effective buying power, or ability to save may be marginal.
It doesn't seem like it's supposed to offset taxes, but rather to ease the financial burden of moving.

There are more reasons other than taxation to consider moving. When I moved countries, I didn't even consider taxation when I moved. I make enough money that I'm comfortable, a couple of grand here and there isn't going to upset me. When I moved, it was for lifestyle reasons, which I think is the only sensible reason to move. If you're moving to Vermont to work remotely as an attempt at saving/earning more money, you're going to have a miserable time.
200 people is a very small sample size, and since you all work in the same office, it's likely you all have similar backgrounds and experiences. In short, probably not representative enough of the total population (on top of being a small sample size).

One can manually assemble a text-only url by taking the long number at the end of a standard url and using it as the sId parameter in the text-only link.

Apart from that, I've found no way of getting text-only links to articles that don't happen to be linked from the frontpage.
People are attracted to that lifestyle, unfortunately Vermont is missing a few pieces of the puzzle. Tons of people are moving to Denver and the surrounding cities where you get access to nature with the upside of still being close to major city.
You can deduct it but that doesn’t reduce federal taxes by that amount. If you’re in the 25% federal tax bracket, being able to deduct that 8% state tax effectively turns it into 6% additional tax which is still a lot if you weren’t paying it before.

Edit: others pointed out that this deduction is now capped, which I didn’t realize.
Do you try with Safari ? And is it up to date ? We tried with safari, Ipad pro and Iphone X and it worked. It can only work with safari 11.2 at least and Chrome for IOS does not implement mediastream API yet (so no webcam) because it is based on a Safari Webview.
If you have an app which uses the camera opened at the same time it may not work too.
I'm puzzled why "Proven"s comment is dead? What they wrote seems accurate. There is no reason why this comment should be downvoted, and certainly no reason why the comment should be dead. This is what they wrote:

Simply speaking they actually make more products people like to use.

Google essentially has just one, and it’s based on diminishing user privacy to the maximum extent possible.

MS collects user data but so do Ubuntu and CentOS... not to the extent Google and FB do it.

That is absolutely true. Microsoft has a huge range of products. It produced three of the most profitable products in history:

Microsoft Windows

Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft Office

For awhile, circa 2005-2015, there was some thought that Microsoft's products were going to be replaced by online equivalents, and was a contributing factor that held down Microsoft's stock at that time. But it is now clear that Microsoft's products are going to survive. Partly, Microsoft has adapted to the online world, and partly, large enterprises are more comfortable with Microsoft's model, rather than Google or Zoho or Wufoo or any other online replacements.

Microsoft Excel remains the default lingua franca of business. Google Docs and Spreadsheets has not replaced Office.

And SQL Server continues to have a huge number of fans, even in a world full of very good open source databases.
Kind of interesting to see Microsoft & Amazon 'passing by' Google lately, considering how much more earning power they have than either of them.

Even if Amazon didn't spend a dime on R&D the most they could've earned on operating income is ~$26B, if Microsoft zeroed out their R&D they could've had about ~$35B.

Meanwhile, if Google decided to go full-profit last year they would've had on the order of $42B.
I dont really understand this. The race for hosting VMs/Containers is a great short term opportunity but there is no long term differentiation to be had. I suspect in 10-20 years Azure wont make much money . Meanwhile Windows and Office are still popular but not as compelling as they used to be. Xbox? I'm not sure why Microsoft is so popular with investors.
Why should Amazon care? Because Amazon is a large advertiser?
Essentially because ICANN says so. ICANN requires the registrars to maintain accurate contact info, and also to publish the contact info on port 43. In addition they allow registrars to offer proxy registration service, which does has additional requirements for the registrar (see the whois primer linked in this thread).

HOWEVER, due to the GDPR, ICANN's "Temporary Solution" to the GDPR changes a lot of these requirements. One of the changes is that the requirement to make the contact info publicly available via whois has been removed. Registrars now are only required to show the state+country of the registrant, as well as some anonymized way to contact the domain owner (e.g.: via an anonymous email, or, via a web form).

For transfers of domain names between registrars, this also means the gaining registrar no longer is required to email you asking for authorization to transfer the domain (because the gaining registrar does not have access to the email addresses any longer). ICANN is working on a replacement for whois called RDDS which has tiered, authenticated access, as well as an accredidation process for people that need access to the real contact info such as law enforcement. However, they haven't worked out all of the details on this yet.

ICANN has also said regsitrars are not required to distinguish between an EU customer or a non EU customer when applying this rule.

So essentially, ICANN's temporary solution to the GDPR makes a lot of the reasons for "Whois Guard" or proxy registrations less useful.

Ask HN: Work project for a political party I despise, should I resign?
As the title states, my team is supposed to start a project for a prominent political party in my country which I despise.
What's more, if the project is successful, it might even boost the party's credibility in the public eye.

Should I resign over this if the project actually goes through?
Can you provide any details as to what you define as good, and how this system reflects that?
Hey by the way the link in the readme to the documentation is broken. It points here https://docs.rs/geo/0.9.1/geo/
OP made the assertion, they've got the burden of providing data in support of it. I'm just explaining that the data he did offer doesn't support his conclusion.

Wealth in Colorado, Minnesota, etc., comes from the same place as anywhere else. The U.S. is a rich country with lots of productive industries. Tech is actually a pretty small portion of that (5-6% of GDP, 3% of employment). E.g. Target is based in Minnesota, and has double the revenues of Facebook.
No one bet anything. Bad title Sharen...

Just the usual media outlet reporting about rich people.

Make sure you click on the link though. Clicks=more articles about cryptocurrency. I started doing this on CNBC and they became the leader in mainstream cryptonews despite all of their articles being anti-btc to begin.

I did a big getUserMedia wrapper, the standard is very badly implemented. There is problems with firefox and Android which had to be solved too. That's why we have included the video capture into the library (but it is still possible to provide a custom <video> element too)
I got a first generation ROG Swift 1440p 144hz G-Sync monitor about 4 years ago. It had been constantly sold out in the US from every retailer. So I found one on UK Amazon. Sure, it took a little longer to get here, but I think it got here in 3-4 vs 1-2. Since it came with the British power plug, I had to get a different cable, but other than that, it was fine.

I don't understand the issue as long as you're paying for the shipping.
I maintain my own set of modern internet acronyms for it. Speaking of which, I need to merge a pull request for that.
Are you intending to add anything to the discussion or was your comment accidentally not contributing anything?
Could you tell us more about your assistant program?
No, I probably wasn't very clear in the original post. More like a video chat service with billing built-in. Code Mentor allows you to have a video chat with somebody and it handles the payment depending on how long you were talking. I'm looking for a generic version of this (that isn't particularly geared toward coding/programming)
Amazon Neptune Generally Available – AWS News Blog
You are simultaneously missing the point of the article, and serving the point of the article.

The fact that CEOs have politics and PR to worry about is implied. The purpose of the article is that the majority of the CEOs took the time to respond to a small list of ideas from one of their (likely menial) shareholders. The author is highlighting that this there is a correlation between the type of person willing to do this, and a successful CEO. They are making time for the people below them, given the high level aspect of their day to day. They care about the core of their business and the small people that make the whole.

Its obvious that you would be one of the CEOs who didn't respond, and you will be missing out on that 8.97% ;)
thank you for this advice.
You missed the part that given how things turned out, thanks to Project Centennial, there is an ongoing process to bring store containers to whole user space, MSIX.

So regardless of Win32 or UWP, everything will eventually be sandboxed.

Windows 7 is the new XP.
I hear you. At the same time, the particular project they're doing is an implementation of an open standard, to provide an alternative and prevent monoculture, so seems good to me. I'm not involved in the container space, so I can't speak to the quality, but that's what it looks like from here.
Researchers:stakeholders need to address impact of spyware
> The more cynical view is that this was done on purpose to harm blue states that tend to have higher state income taxes

this could very well be true, but it does seem unfair in the first place to be able to deduct state income tax. it's great that some states have decided to increase their income taxes to offer more services to their citizens, but why should tax payers in other states have to subsidize them without receiving any benefit?
Ask HN: Delete a U.S. FB Account While in Europe
As an American, you are not protected under GDPR. Yet apparently, if you live in Europe, you are, regardless of nationality. What distinguishes how FB should behave if an American abroad deletes their FB account vs an American at home? And would waiting until a Europe trip to delete your account make any difference? (presumably because you'd be doing it from a European network, similar to an American abroad?)
Despite that, UK life expectancy (81.2 years) is higher than California (80.8 years). Not that the UK scores especially highly on this measure - plenty of countries do better.
