Agreed. And the ideal language to build a backend interpreter for bpmn - I am doing so - is elixir imho (a language to build build massively scalable soft real-time systems with requirements on high availability, see f.e ds.cs.ut.ee/courses/course-files/To303nis%20Pool%20.pdf

I see "runners" on Craigslist all the time for around $1500, I'd say that's the bottom dollar for something that you can probably drive for a year without serious mechanical failures. However, used is always a gamble (at any cost) so if you're buying cheap, make sure parts are cheap too. Just because you can get a 2000s+ BMW for $3k doesn't mean you should!
Assessment of Head Collision Events During the 2014 FIFA World Cup
Whenever you think you might be getting too carried away with your UX design, it’s best to assume users are arriving to your website or application pissed off with no patience for bullshit, and nothing will calm them until they do exactly what they wanted to do and leave, and the more movies and fancy animations and loading you throw in between them and their goal the more pissed off you’re going to make them. Is that the UX you’re going for?
Ask HN: What skills does a senior Node/React full-stack developer need to have?
I'm learning full-stack webdev, and I feel like I'm getting pretty good at it, but since I'm doing it on my own and without any industry experience, I'd really love to hear some advice/guidance on what it takes to be a senior dev, so I would know which knowledge gaps do I need to fill.

If you can share a list of skills, or point me to some awesome portfolios/resumes I can use as an example to strive for, that would be amazing.
Fair point on signed vs encrypted, I was simply pointing out that the ordinary civilian GPS isn't all there is.

And while that L1 GPS signal has had selective availability turned off, that can always be turned back on again. Plus, using the military parts of L2 GPS in combination with L1 do give a higher accuracy than civilian GPS units can achieve.

What could an advertiser good to track with key logging? Password to their... CNN account??
Not quite. Yes they control the social media channels, but check any other crypto sub and you'll find some of the same articles and information. For what it's worth, I think forks are great because they allow people to try new things. However, Roger Ver and the Bitcoin Cash community have clearly taken steps to mislead the public into thinking that the original Bitcoin is "Bitcoin Core", and that Bitcoin Cash is "Bitcoin". When an outsider comes in and tries to buy "Bitcoin", but is misled into buying Bitcoin Cash, that's a genuine problem. Here is one example: https://www.wetalkcoins.com/news/quotbitcoin-cashquot-faces-...
That seems like a very nice experience! You'll have to manage your personality to not come off as know-it-all type of guy. The best I can tell you is to try to understand each one of the developers as a person with feelings and explain everything with love. That never fails.

There's nothing stopping companies providing extra private healthcare on top of government provided universal healthcare. It's very common in the UK.
I've customized Linux for touchpads on a couple laptops now (note: Macbooks are terrible choices for using linux on, using Thinkpad/Dell XPS is 100x easier driver wise). The current drivers support about 90% of what Macbook's can do in my experience. As the OP said in the article, it's "good enough", just not perfect.

The last 10% of any implementation is where the most difficulty lies. I'm happy to see the author not just accepting good enough, as Desktop Linux has really been evolving past that point in recent years to be a legitimate contender for daily/progressional use. Gnome and other desktop software has come a long way.
Maybe you conveniently forget that there was no such proof and that is why the "procuring murder" charge was dropped by the prosecution.

> Of the six murder indictments trumpeted by the U.S. government in the days following Ulbricht’s Oct. 2013 arrest, five have fallen off the table and the sixth sits untouched in a separate indictment (legalese for an unproven allegation) that was purposefully left out of the upcoming trial.

> Prosecutor Serrin Turner used the murder-for-hire allegations to get the judge to deny bail. Now, Turner isn’t even going to charge Ulbricht with the murders.

> Why have six of the most important accusations been left as yet uncharged?

> “Maybe you don’t have that proof,” criminal defense attorney Jay Leiderman told the Daily Dot. “Maybe the proof isn’t as good as you thought it was.”

> There are a couple of other possibilities that deserve mention. First, there may be informants out there that the prosecution doesn’t want to expose, that they want to use for other cases, so they’re willing to leave half a dozen murders uncharged in order to protect him. Second, they may have determined that a relevant informant is unreliable and can’t be used in trial.

> Either way, the murder accusations are buried and uncharged.

He was judged (but not charged) on these allegations:

>The charge of procuring murder was removed from the indictment[31] although the evidence was factored into Ulbricht's sentence.

There is no one way, every team has been different (for me), it what technique you use depends on context.
They key themes that stand out for me are

1. Limiting Work in Progress (focus on delivering one thing at a time), creates slack time, to learn new practices and start writing tests.

2. Focus on learning, don't expect everything to fall in place pretty good ( it took us about 3 months to even to get to a good starting point)

3. Pair and help them out.
I'm pretty sure I've seen somewhere a JS implementation of an enigma cracker...
I feel like it's a bit disingenuous to talk about this in the context of 1) paying MSRP and 2) buying new.

He even mentions the second point, then goes on to completely ignore it:

- Never buy new.
- Just buy something 2-3 years old after it comes off someone else’s lease.

A quick look on Kelley Blue Book says that $51,790 Ford Expedition drops to $24,925 after 3 years and 55,000 miles. Using the same parameters for the loan comes out to payments of $418 per month.

That's still a chunk, but it doesn't have quite the same shock value as the brand-new MSRP prices presented...

Now, $418/mo is still a far cry from the $165/mo you can get out of a lowend, 3-year-old Kia Rio, for sure. I drive something similar now. But the article still kind of rubs me the wrong way...
"In my eyes, FriendlyChemist is a liability and I wouldn't mind if he was executed, but then you'd be out your $700k."

"I understand, and that is great news about Xin [being kidnapped]. If I understand the situation, he is the one responsible for your loss."

"I would like to put a bounty on his head if it's not too much trouble for you. What would be an adequate amount to motivate you to find him? Necessities like this do happen from time to time for a person in my position."

"It doesn't have to be clean, and I don't think there are any funds to be retrieved"

"Don't want to be a pain here, but the price seems high. Not long ago, I had a clean hit done for $80k."

"I've only ever commissioned the one other hit, so I'm still learning this market."

"Excellent work."

So deserving of clemency...
I visited USTC several years ago, (2014) and in this time they have basically doubled the number of qubits they can entangle, so this is a great step forward. At around ~100 qubits quantum computing becomes very useful, so maybe we won't have to wait too long.
A password to an individual's CNN account could easily be their same login to their bank or other more important account.

> We declare "healthcare" to be a public, common good and completely socialize it. Like roads and fire departments.

1. Lots of places have private roads without much trouble. France's autoroutes are perhaps the most famous example.

2. Many of the world's most successful universal healthcare systems are run at least partially privately. The first point of contact one has with the NHS, for example, is through a general practitioner via medical practice, all of whom are private businesses (free at the point of use).

I don't see why you think a hodgepodge of private and public, as exists in many places already, would be such a problem; I totally fail to see how making everything completely private would be a better solution than that. You'd end up with horrendous lemon-dropping.
> There's a huge difference in return to investors between skilled data scientists doing one-offs, and an engine that does the work on its own

This is kind of the crux, right? If the investors believe that there is a future roadmap to essentially automate what the team is doing ... That's one thing. If they are investing today because the CEO is saying "Look! It's automated!", then that's pretty much on them.

That said, these investors have literally millions of dollars to complete due diligence, and if they miss on something like that, it's on them. Investors are putting so much money into these companies on "demos" and without really looking under the hood. So if they complete their due dilligence, their essentially saying "we are investing in your current product and our current understanding of it". I don't think there's going to be a fraud lawsuit here.

Theranos was changing the output data that the investors saw, not just saying "we do blood tests better!". That was straight up fraud because the data reviewed in due diligence was false.

Quantum Mechanics and Law of Attraction

> you can treat yourself to a $5 coffee every goddamn day (who does that!? even on weekends?!).

It's not a $5 daily coffee, it's 2 or 3 $2 coffees. 2 reasonably priced coffees isn't so insane if your workplace doesn't have a machine and won't let you donate one.

> One final thought: often the people who say this have zero experience with actually living close to the poverty line. A cheap, unhealthy, delicious indulgence on the daily can make living with less feel much more palatable - or at least, suck less hard.

THIS. I spent five years in poverty. Sometimes actually, sometimes just above the line. Always worried about making rent.

Eschewing a twice-weekly visit to the coffee shop is a LOT easier, psychologically, when it's not "my only reprieve from eating shitty food in a shitty apartment and still worrying about how we'll pay the grocery bills and rent".

And I had the benefiting of knowing that the situation was temporary and it could all be over the moment I decided I had had enough. And a great parental safety net that saved me from the credit card debt treadmill more than once. I can't imagine how bleak things are existing like that with no safety and knowing you don't have an out.
I think this is an unwinnable position. Software projects are multi-faceted and you’ve taken on the role as the savior- it’s not just lack of tests bringing this team down.

I wish you luck but don’t beat yourself up if this doesn’t work out. This sounds like you’re setup to fail.
My experience as a developer tells me that this was somebody trying to test something in production, while forgetting to de-list the book sku first.

Nah, travel insurance is to cover emergency medical expenses abroad. Long term care is taken care of by your local insurance or government system.
That last part of that sentence has a missing citation. Do you have a source for that?
If you log into a computer or access a door with a card, you can give that card to someone holding you at gunpoint. A hand, not so much.
Ah yes, I hear the trailer parks in East Palo Alto are lovely this time of year.
I've been saying this for years. That discount card you use at the grocery store tells your insurance company how much bacon you eat.
From my (limited) experience with UK undergrad courses, it's more that stat mech and thermo were taught, but stat mech has been dropped/made optional. It's somewhat understandable, because a lot of interesting things have happening in other areas, e.g. quantum mechanics, astrophysics, etc. and the length of a degree hasn't changed. It's just one of those ironies that stat mech may have been ahead of it's time, and with cheap computing power it becomes interesting again (see molecular dynamics).

Still, when i took stat mech largely by accident (i enjoyed that lecturer), it felt like a lot of things came together which i had previously just accepted in thermo, and other fields, too (e.g. early quantum mechanics, from what basis did they start). Hence my opinion to why it's underrated (you also hear very little of it in text books - it's just not "cool").
My guess would be to see what people are typing but not submitting, along with what they're searching for, commenting, etc.
I may just be ignorant of the way the law works but a search warrant would give the police the right to search the phone but why does this mean he has to turn over the password?

After doing a bit of research I found this which would seem to apply

> the government could not compel Spencer to state the password itself, whether orally or in writing. [FN1: See Doe v. United States, 487 U.S. 201, 210 n.9 (1988) (stating in dicta that compelling someone to reveal the combination to his wall safe is testimonial for purposes of the Fifth Amendment);

It seems like a previous case set precedent that a password cannot be compelled to be revealed either orally or in writing. I'm not American so i may be wrong but it seems like he should not be going to jail...
Given the context of this thread - what would be a travel insurer for a UK resident that digital nomads of HN would actually recommend? Not necessarily the cheapest, just the most reliable one.
Impressive all and all, even more for being written in (grokkable!) C. Nice work.

A recent-ish book that talks a little about this (surprised the article did not mention QuintilesIMS):

Isn't it just like doing optimization without profiling?
> I mean, the most significant part of "health insurance reform" was to penalize people if they choose to opt out of patronizing these private companies.

Citation needed for excess profits. As I understand it, now that that requirement has been removed, most companies have dropped out of the Obamacare-market. That seems to me like they were previously only making near the bare minimum that made it worth their while.
> It doesn't become meaningless to the person who ascribes meaning to the original that Da Vinci put together.

It does if that person understands physics. If you can make an atomically perfect copy, then insisting on "the original" is just as silly as insisting on having "the original" of a digital image.

> You can't just arbitrarily claim something universally lacks meaning like that.

I am not "just claiming" it. I have cited an extensive argument in support of that position:

http://blog.rongarret.info/2015/02/31-flavors-of-ontology.ht...

Yes, is it unintuitive. But there are a lot of unintuitive things in physics that are nonetheless true.
> read the fine print

People should be able to expect that insurance is as advertised, and there's no "not really" in the fine print. UK courts are much less accepting of such things than the US. The infamous case is PPI misselling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_protection_insurance
Do you deserve to be in prison for life for dealing drugs, which is a non-violent crime, when rapists get 5.8 years on average?
Apparently in spite of that they still used that evidence in determining his sentencing. I am not a lawyer, but as I understand it it would be the difference between getting pulled over with a lot of drugs vs getting pulled over with a lot of drugs and a lot of guns that you legally own: Even if you only get charged and convicted of the drug possession the case with the trunk full of guns will in all likelihood experience harsher sentencing.
I couldn't give you a list of examples off the top of my head, but I do know that people are aware of this problem and one of the more prominent solutions is to attach a start-up accelerator to the university.

The example I know of is the Innovation Deport in Birmingham, AL (my hometown) being attached to the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The university does a lot of medical research and from what I hear, the Innovation Depot is trying to establish itself as the go-to place for professors to take their patents and provide business/engineering/manufacturing expertise.

Semi-on topic: people with blue-sky ideas are often asked "if the idea was so good, why hasn't anyone commercialized/done this before?" which often inhibits further inquiry.

But the fact is, an idea's current feasibility may be a function of its present constraints. Opportunities open up when constraints change [1]. This is why it can be useful to revisit old ideas and test them against the current environment.

I quoted someone who was intimately involved in the trial saying there was ample and unambiguous evidence. Your theory on why those charges were not included is one of a number of possible explanations. Another possible explanation was that they felt they had enough to nail him sufficiently on the other charges, and didn't want to bother to prove unnecessary additional offenses.

My impression is that cooperations these days facilitates a lot of practical research to attain an eventual patent and reap the benefits of the scientists' achievements.

It isn't research, but I was at a party the other day and this women who works at a record company specialising in classical music said that an classical music app with high quality recordings didn't exist.
The answer is no for me as well, but my bigger concerns are:

1. What is the chip made of? I don't want some manufactured object with plastics etc in my body.

2. What if a better chip comes out later? Or what if you leave the company that chipped you? Even if you can have it removed, you're committing to having a scar, right?
This is true. The biggest risk with buying is that there could be a recession in the near future and you will be unemployed.

Travel insurance is only for emergency coverage while traveling. You absolutely can't purchase travel insurance for $100 and use it to fly abroad to get non-emergency surgery.
I would like to see a similar analysis applied to living and working in Silicon Valley or San Francisco, as opposed to some metro area in the Midwest. I have a hunch that given two similar people, one in each place, with similar careers, financial habits, consumer habits, etc., the one in the Midwest will be able to retire sooner and more comfortably than the one in SV/SF.
