This is one of those "bad for everyone" decisions.
Reading the theranos story, what’s going on in the political spectrum today, watching the steps people seem to have taken to get where they are to influence the society and then seemingly failing at it, I am always reminded of the documentary “Enron, the smartest guys in the room”. It’s such a simple idea that likely one thing led to another and they have climbed a ladder to defraud investors and tried to cause public harm. Those first steps were maybe of good intentions or maybe of bad ones. But somewhere along the way, they clearly created a bubble of their own where they assured themselves that it’s ok what they are doing. Never lose the outside reference point. Never.
One trick I came up with recently: I found myself needing to add up a column of numbers, but there were so many that I started losing precision to awk's use of floats for all numbers. I wound up augmenting with `dc`[0] - something like (borrowing your example, and working from memory):

awk '
BEGIN { print "0" }
$4 > 3 { print $3"+p" }
' | dc

It does not take SHA1 hashes.
They address that paper specifically here:

"GQN uses analysis-by-synthesis to perform “inverse graphics,” but unlike existing methods (42), which require problem-specific engineering in the design of their generators, GQN learns this behavior by itself and in a generally applicable manner. However, the resulting representations are no longer directly interpretable by humans."

Exactly, except there is no long term because the following administration will undo all of what the current one has done.
Sociatel pressure usually comes after (and very much influenced) biological manifestations.
It seems like a typical SV case of "fake it til you make it", except instead of risking a down website or burned investor, they risked harm and death of patients.

She clearly had some knowledge and strategy about the technology and likely fully intended for it to be successful, but responded to delays and difficulties with deception rather than just admitting it was harder than they expected.

"If we just get over this hurdle, we'll revolutionize medical testing and become legends." Not unlike Ponzi schemes which start out as legitimate investment ventures, do very poorly, and then just make up the return numbers. Martin Shkreli arguably pulled that fraud off "successfully" and actually got over the hurdle, but of course it came back to bite him.
Underrated comment of the century.
It was perhaps a bit sensationally presented, but the other commenter hits on an unfortunate truth: too often, inability to communicate is treated as noncompliance, and the standard response to perceived noncompliance is violence.

For example, in Oklahoma City last year, police shot and killed a deaf man, despite being told he was deaf, because he wasn't able to hear what they were yelling to him:

Note that you can put conditions before the braces, so you can also express the example

awk '{if ($(NF-2) == "200") {print $0}}' logs.txt

as

awk '$(NF-2) == "200" { print $0 }' logs.txt

IMO, this style scans easier for most of the grep-ish use cases.

She convinced her chemical engineering professor to be an advisor early on.

But the project she sold him on was based on her idea for some kind of wearable. From reading interviews I got the idea that he was more impressed with the wireless, wearable aspect (technologies he didn't have experience with presumably).
I've heard this a lot since around 2012/13 when I first became aware of C9, and even gave it a go. Granted it was and is impressive as a technical achievement, but I really don't see the use case at all, other than as something to use as a quick fix embedded by a repo host.

My laptop is a tool I use every single day and have with me almost all of the time. I do not need internet connectivity to remain productive, which is a huge boon to me when travelling. An IDE that requires constant, reliable connectivity to work is therefore of little use to me.
Trumps steel and aluminum tariff before this has hurt my industry. Half of our vendors went up between 3 to 5% on finished good prices.
We bought raw stainless steel as well for custom fab work and every vendor, imported or not imported, raised prices at 25 to 30%. Even though the policy is not in effect ?yet.

It only affected US manufacturers and left chinese finished good imports unaffected

From the link: "The lone dot that ends a format can also prematurely end a mail message passing through a misconfigured Internet mailer (and based on experience, such misconfiguration is the rule, not the exception). So when sending format code through mail, you should indent it so that the format-ending dot is not on the left margin; this will prevent SMTP cutoff."

If you're of a certain age and read that and grimace as you immediately understand why this would happen, it does rather put into perspective the misery of dealing with, say, Webpack configuration.
I have a lot of sympathy for you, because I know that decent people are railroaded by federal prosecutors every day. That's not what's going on here. Prosecutors are attacking wealthy interests, not just defending them. (Since this is primarily a dispute among investors, wealthy interests are in opposition. Prosecutors have to choose a side, and they always choose the one farther up the pyramid.)

It's actually pretty unlikely that Holmes and Balwani will lose all of their fancy properties, because that sort of scene also upsets the plutocrats. They'll just have to give back most of the millions they've squirreled away.

As I recall, it used to be officially called Yellow Pages in SunOS, but there was a dispute with British Telecom which owned the trademark on Yellow Pages, so Sun changed its name.

Wikipedia has (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Information_Service) the same story I remember, though doesn't give a source for it:

> Because British Telecom PLC owned the name "Yellow Pages" as a registered trademark in the United Kingdom for its paper-based, commercial telephone directory, Sun changed the name of its system to NIS, though all the commands and functions still start with "yp".
I understood that it originally stood for "yellow pages" because it is a directory service, but that the phone company asserted their trademark on the term.
"Will"? "If"?

If Homes and Balwani had confined their predations to the general public, they'd still be free and wealthy. It's only because they also swindled some plutocrats that they're going to have to return most of their plunder.
I maintain a library that talks to the Have I Been Pwned password database, which uses a 5-hexadecimal-digit prefix of the SHA1 hash.

Someone filed a PR asking to add a cache for HIBP's responses, and I did some quick math and came up with ~1200 as a birthday-paradox number for the first five digits of a SHA1 hex digest (assuming uniform/random distribution of hex digits).

This seems like a very cynical comment to me, and I find it strange that no one has tried to rebut this yet. I always found it refreshing that Hacker News tried to resist this kind of thinking. Is that spirit fading?
This could happen with any online service people rely on. For maps and directions, at least at some places, decent offline solutions exist and not relying on availability of a third party service and a good internet connection is helpful (and is probably better for privacy).

Doing this for enough services also might be a way to lower energy consumption (?) and mobile bills.
That’s something I hadn’t really considered. The link could very well be that simple.
A woman doesn't have that possibility, so enabling that also encourages discrimination.
I'm on the 1-2 hour limit camp. As much as I know a lot of people find whiteboard tests awkward, or don't like coding tests with short time limits, I actually prefer them over take-home coding challenges. If a company requires that I do one of those before the interview proper, I usually give them a pass.

With short live coding tests in person, Once it's done, it's done. I do not like to finish an interview, and still having to think about putting more time aside to do additional "work" for them in the form of a take-home test requiring an arbitrary length of time. The fact that they happen outside the office, outside of the worry of the company's time constraints, makes these sorts of tests more prone to exploitation. Self-contained interviews in a short time limit are my personal preference.

There is a Github page that is a compilation of companies that do not use whiteboard tests for their candidates. I'd like to find out if a similar list exists for companies that don't give their candidates take-home tests.
My favorite: "dd" the "copy and convert" command, but "cc" was already taken by the C compiler.
Is this really surprising? We cannot have meritocracy and a system where some people will go missing for a year at a time (and perhaps come back with completely different motivations). There is a fundamental mismatch, and as much as some people want to frame careers as lifestyle and entitlement, the primary purpose is to get things done and produce value. The situation is even more stark for smaller companies, many of which would be bankrupt if they lose one employee for a year.

The unintended and inevitable consequence of trying to legislate something as massive as this away is it promotes what I call wankerism. Where by the more law abiding individuals are put at a further disadvantage as they try to follow onerous laws, whilst the people who are happy to skirt and bend them will do so and get ahead. After all there is almost never going to be a smoking gun and to the extent than you can tighten the rules against laying off pregnant women, then it moves on to hiring discrimination against women of a certain age range and effecting even more people, where its practically impossible to prove discrimination.

Maybe the government and increased maternity pay is part of the solution, but no formula is going to capture the career costs and simultaneously be fair to the lower paid. Maybe it is the responsibility of the parents to make it right between them, in as much as that is practical and in as much as they believe in operating like that.

Americans have been told that globalization was the key to prosperity. And yes, today we have wondrous cheap smartphones and all manner of goods made overseas.

But if you ever visit the Rust Belt, you'll quickly realize that entire local and regional economies have been shattered by the decline of US manufacturing and haven't yet recovered.

Donald Trump won the election in part by recognizing and promising to address this economic problem. This move is an attempt to do exactly that: Fix things by reversing the free trade policies that got us into this mess.

Almost everyone here seems united in saying that this attempt by Trump to cure our economic problems will only make the situation worse.

If you were the PoTuS, you want to help the Rust Belt become economically viable again, and you have both houses of Congress and the American people behind you, what would you do?

Bashing Trump's solution is all well and good, but what's the alternative? Do nothing and let the American heartland's economy rot for another 30 years?

Interesting, wonder if this can substitute for a blood test, my mum often complained that blood tests (using needles) were hard for my grandma because her arteries/veins aren't easily spottable and bring a lot of hassle to an old lady.
The ruling addresses that on pages 9-11. The court noted that in a pretty similar case (the same google translate error), a different did apply the good-faith exception.

But the court distinguished this case from the other based on several factors. This cop didn't ask in english or point to the trunk. And the cop admitted he had other options other than google translate.

It's a close call. I think it probably should apply, but I see the other side.

if true, this helps explain why you have a hard time finding an IT related job.

if true, this insight may help you find a job by selectively applying for IT work at civil right-ish places (EFF, small civil right-ish law firms, etc ...) as they may be less prone to discriminate on your past "offences", with the upshot that you might feel more at home in such a job than elsewhere?
IOpipe v1.6.0 Released: Monitor, Observe, Trace and Profile AWS Lambda Functions
If I'm being super honest, I never would have started my first company (A Funded Startup, that had very significant revenue for 3-4 years) if I didn't have IBS.

Once the company grew to the size that we needed a real office, my need to exit was at least partially influenced by IBS as well.

I could have gotten a job in a lot of different places, but I couldn't handle the workplace environment because I needed to use the restroom more than 10 times per day. I also had accidents where I would need to change my pants at least once a week, and always carried spare clothes in my backpack. I still keep that habit, even though I've largely conquered the disease. It's a weird PSD I kind of have.

Even today, I'd probably accept a 20% pay reduction for if a company would give me a private restroom connected to my office.

I've been in a couple of those trials.

They make it very clear that the drug has already been tested extensively and also do fairly extensive testing on you to make sure your vitals are within the "normal" range.

I got a very clear impression that they're not throwing pills at the wall to see which one sticks.

I'm also working at a startup that's had three names and just as many products, funded by a VC who's just going to start another one with most of the same people whether this one works or not.

It doesn't matter one bit if this startup fails. The drug was pretty clearly indicated to work by the time a person swallowed a pill.

Different worlds.
I tend to post this whenever an awk discussion pops up, but at least for me, the reason I didn't learn awk earlier is that the gnu man page for awk is quite offputting. I spent ten years thinking "awk is too complicated for my weak mind." Then I stumbled on the man page of the plan9 implementation of awk and I learned the language in fifteen minutes - if even that.

Sure, the gnu version is more powerful, but the plan9/original awk implementation handles most cases I run into, and I can now look up the gnu extras when I need them.

Basic static website content authoring without a compiler or framework
I actually agree with you here to some extent. Women that are happy to be a co-wife of (or in a triad with) a man I think are, generally speaking, better off. You're certainly right that there are a lot of single women over 30; though in some respects I think they got the worse deal in life. They reached peak mating potential at around 25-29, and lowering standards is so much more difficult than raising them.

Though in some respects you're setting up a bit of a false dichotomy. It isn't that women can get these great guys now with no downside. The reality on the ground looks a lot more like women that want a single, longterm partner who is fully faithful to them find that the very attractive poly men that they date never want to settle down. They want to continue to be open to other relationships. I'm not sure if women really win in this hypothetical future. Most of the high status poly men I know end up with a hot young girlfriend and an appropriately aged wife and tension builds as time goes on.

I want to make it clear that none of what I'm saying is firmly grounded in a clear understanding of the truth. I'm trying to express the muddy way I understand things without assuming too much. I'm sure I'm missing part of this, though I'm not sure which part.
> Everyone else could not break out REM sleep and deep sleep.

As someone who has worked with the engineers who implemented this on another product, anything except for the most broadly defined categories is exaggerating.

We worked with multiple sleep labs to do controlled sleep studies on people. The way one of those sleep studies worked was a bunch of doctors looked over all the charts of data that had been gathered, and then voted on what type of sleep the subject was getting at different points in time!

Give the same data set to a different set of doctors and you'll get a similar, but somewhat different, result from their analysis.

With that in mind, it is not possible for a consumer grade wrist worn device to give absolute results.

With just an accelerometer, you can get very broad categories, that are easily confused with someone sitting very still while watching the entire LOTR trilogy.

Add in a HR sensor and you can get some slightly better data.

Now not to say these results aren't good enough to be actionable. You'll notice differences in the graphs for making healthy lifestyle changes, heck I was able to see a before/after change on my data by skipping the after dinner gin and tonic, so existing consumer sensors can detect stuff. But anyone claiming whole lot of granularity is over stating their results.

(Unless the state of the art has vastly moved forward in... oh 2 years or so, but given how messy all the sleep studies I saw were, I doubt it!)
Trump is in trouble now.

EDIT: It is suspected that Michael Cohen, being a long time Trump friend and personal lawyer, is familiar with Trump's money laundering. If Michael Cohen believes he's at risk of being sent to jail for many years, he might collaborate with the FBI.
Why Books Are the Length They Are
The article isn't actually specific on this. They mention death threats but don't quote any. (I'm betting Mr Filardi didn't keep a scrapbook of death threats, and with his facebook account gone the record is gone too.) Given the number of people involved in the tendency of people social media presume they are immune from consequences, I feel really confident that dozens of people made comments that went over the line and would be clear prosecution cases.

But if we as a society wanted to we could have a lawyer comb through all the comments sent to people that are victims of online mobs and pick out the ones that constitute real prosecutable things.
I may be totally off track here, but I am thinking that the <xmp> tag is only used for the parser to identify which theme the author wants to use? I am assuming that the end HTML just strips out the xmp tag and inserts the relevant bootstrap CSS/JS links in there to match the theme, so the actual xmp tag is never passed across to the browser?
Care to explain your reason for thinking that?

Hey there. I'm the developer who made the POC. My original idea came after watching non-technical people try to make changes to the readme. They would have to ask for a lot of help to get the terminal open or use a GUI. When really all they wanted to do was make a quick change.

The idea is that there's a lot of different users using git and I want to make it accessible for everyone.

Full disclosure, I work for the company behind this tool. We've had the same problem with URLs in the past and so built https://gurn.io it lets us map URLs to keywords / phrases so you can add "side project dev" and "side project prod".
