I believe the natural end of a totally free market will be a world where wealth and power is concentrated in only a few hands. It will be very similar to the middle ages. Just replace nobility with capitalists.
You can but that list is garbage. They just pulled a list off of Amazon so they can spam their affiliate links. Without a hands on review it's hard to know if they're any good.
I would agree about some books. But anything relating to technology should be kept. Already it is difficult to get copies of, for example, the Smalltalk-80 books. Technology reference books, and books that teach technology to people are books that should be kept, because they serve as some of the few documents that show that these things _did indeed exist_. Who, in a couple of generations, will be left to remember the BBSes, the features of Word Perfect, etc. Without this history we will be left to reinvent the wheel constantly.
Engagement is not nearly the same. There are 1.5 billion WhatsApp users, but how many would actually convert. I'd find it hard to see numbers higher than the low single digits.
Teach Coding to Students in the Bay Area and NYC with ScriptEd
Hi! I work with ScriptEd (www.scripted.org)! We run programs in NYC, Oakland, and San Francisco, and are looking for volunteers to teach web development to youth attending under resourced schools. Can you help us find volunteers in the Bay Area? Application is here: scripted.org/volunteer/. For more info watch this video bit.ly/scriptedvideo or e-mail info@scripted.org.

Hi @Deferpanic, do you consider newly graduated phd?
This is something we're striving hard to do at the startup I'm involved with (end-to-end resources for learning machine learning, with just high school math background assumed).

In our Data Scientist Track (https://www.dataquest.io/path/data-scientist?), I specifically focused on teaching K-nearest neighbors first b/c it has minimal math but you can still teach ML concepts like cross-validation, and then I wrote Linear Algebra and Calculus courses before diving into Linear Regression.

>Signal - Featureless

Come now. Signal has group chats, document sharing, built-in GIF searching (GIPHY), disappearing messages, encrypted calling (video and/or voice), oh and the most important feature: text messaging.
markets are often irrational.
U2F is superior to TOTP because it's much harder to phish, and phishing is one of the two most serious attack vectors most teams face (the other being email attachments). Everyone that does U2F seriously also does TOTP, and doing both is the best option.

But yes, TOTP is a good start; the minimum that every serious team should have for its own personnel now.
In my company they have started to call people "resources" :)

>You're right that Android is a big one. De-Googled Android is possible but it isn't a great experience. I've been desperate for a "true" Linux phone for years.

I switched to iPhone about six months ago, after having used Android since it was invented. In both cases you're trusting a large corporation, but Apple's business model is more direct - sell products and services directly to customers while protecting their privacy, vs Google's "the user is the product" approach. Apple seems the lesser of two evils in this regard.

I do know that, as a non-native English speaker, I've always appreciated having English subtitles for English-speaking films. It helps immensely if you miss a word, there's a little too much mumbling, or whatever. One of the best (in both ways) examples being the movie Snatch.

Value creation is not a zero-sum game. A cooperative selling the same products and services as, say, Amazon might not make the same profit. Coherent vision and leadership can contribute a lot to the value creation process.
I read about a Canadian thief, who was exceptionally good (can't remember his name now). He stole some priceless stuff, and just kept them in his basement. He did it for the thrill (one of the details I remember - he parachuted into a heavily guarded museum). He only got caught because of his arrogance.

Not saying these guys are thrill seekers, but apparently there are people who do it just for "fun" and don't care about selling their loot.

It seems you are confusing (conflating?) web pages with web app.

>...constructing elaborate html pages on the server side and pushing it out and letting some basic extra js stuff augment it.

I will take server side rendered webpage up against a fancy js spewed template any day of the week. In every metric possible the server side render wins.

Load speed, SEO, accessibility, file size, time to paint, time to render, time to interactivity. Not a single point goes towards the js rendered web page, period.

In fact, it has almost every conceivable downside, including the obvious, it requires javascript.

I develop webapps for a living, and I hate using them for browsing content, they suck for that. Vue.js/React/Angular for web apps all the way, for web pages/content, server side hands React its behind.
One of the reasons why I prefer insecurity indicators over security indicators is that the user doesn't have to know which parts of the UI are trusted to distinguish secure from insecure sites.

(Another important reason is that an encrypted site is not necessarily secure, so the security indicator can be taken as more of an endorsement of the site than intended)
That's true. Both Flow and TypeScript generally uses structural typing, but flow also has nominal typing for classes.
Bill Gates for example, does extensive research with many experts in the field trying to pinpoint actual barriers or issues that real people experience prior to coming up with problem and solution scenarios. My statement takes nothing away from that, rather, it is a good starting point to have this inside knowledge at the core to tackle real world issues effectively.
>go leave the artefacts in the woods some where and then give the authorities the GPS coordinates.

Or don't. Who's going to stop you after you get the money? You still have the jewels you can still sell them, or put them in your own private collection.

That's why police don't usually comply with criminal demands for ransom; criminals don't obey the law in the first place, why would they be expected to hold up their end of a deal?
Pay what though? $1 a year? $10 a year? $100?

They have to find a way to justify the $19 billion purchase price. Almost all charging schemes are only going to get certain fraction of people to convert, and they need to be finding ways to reach similar $20 per user revenue numbers like the Facebook main app has in the US.
The distinction you're drawing here isn't meaningful. Outside of securing an application's database, a TOTP key has no value anyways. If you have a persistent attacker who quietly owns your database, no 2FA is doing anything for you; the attacker can log in whenever they want anyways. Once the database is compromised, you invalidate all the TOTP secrets, and they become worthless.
I have a P20 Pro. I quite like it and I even came from the pixel. It's mostly stock but with a bunch of useful features added.

I re-implemented it in C and for some reason O_APPEND is set on stdout by default.

But aside from that it works just as the Rust version.

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define BUF_SIZE 16384

static void unset_flag(int fd, int flag) {
int flags = fcntl(fd, F_GETFL, 0);
flags &= ~flags;
fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, flags);
}

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
int pipefd[2];
pipe(pipefd);

unset_flag(STDOUT_FILENO, O_APPEND);

for (int i = 1; i < argc; ++i) {
int fd = strcmp(argv[i], "-") ? open(argv[i], O_RDONLY) : STDIN_FILENO;
if (fd < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s: No such file or directory\n", argv[i]);
exit(1);
}

while (splice(fd, NULL, pipefd[1], NULL, BUF_SIZE, 0))
splice(pipefd[0], NULL, STDOUT_FILENO, NULL, BUF_SIZE, 0);

close(fd);
}

return 0;
}

WTFPL if anyone cares.
That's true. On the other hand, the "work your way up from the mailroom" model is somewhat predicated on an employment model where people may stay with the same employer for decades--or at least an extended period.

Pranav from Twilio here. You're right — businesses can contact users first, provided they only use message templates pre-approved by WhatsApp.The article gets that wrong. The messages MMT or BMS have sent you so far should be according to these templates. Also, businesses can not send unsolicited messages though - users have to opt-in to receiving messages from them. You probably did that when you gave them your WhatsApp number after buying a ticket or a flight.
Any self hosted alternative is better, eg. I get 'grep', Sieve, no false positive spams and missed actually important mail.
Interesting story, but comes off as self-obsessed and a little bit not credible as a result of comments like these:

"...to what they called the cloud,"

"Placing a thumbs-up icon on a message to show that you liked it felt like something which could catch on"

"My favorite was maps from StreetLight that gave you turn-by-turn directions. Oh my God. That felt like an app everyone would love"

I don't agree there. Classics should be kept - stuff like the Dragon book (compiler theory), Refactoring, Knuth's Art of Computer Programming series, etc. But frankly, most books about our industry are trash - throwaway material that will be as obsolete as buggy whips, in a lot less time. But the good books never become obsolete.

> BMO Capital Markets analyst Tim Long estimates that Apple accounted for 103.6% of smartphone industry operating profits in the third quarter. Its share is over 100% because other vendors lost money in the business, resulting in Apple having more smartphone profit than the industry netted overall. In the year-earlier period, Apple grabbed 90% of smartphone profits, Long said in a research report Thursday.

Django REST framework (1) gives you the best of django + a RESTful API really, and is just another `pip install` and a few lines added to settings file.

You still have some of the same performance issues as with any ORM - but it makes setting up a Django based RESTful API fairly trivial.

Some things I like about DRF:

- viewsets which allow RESTful read + CRUD ops on an existing django model.

- easy to set up different serializers for a model view: flat, nested with child relations etc.

- auto generated API docs in the browsable format of your choosing.

I think there is an important distinction to be made.

Censorship that is meant to block all criticism of the current rulers to keep them in power forever is unlike all other kinds of censorship because it is self-referential and self-reinforcing.

If a government censors, say, sites that distribute pirated movies or sites that glamorise suicide, I can still protest against that ban or campaign to get a different government elected.

But if a government censors both those sites and my criticism of the ban, then that is a wholly different kind of censorship.

Making that distinction is not hypocrisy.

Reinforcement Learning Summer School (RLSS 2017) Notes
University of Pennsylvania | Philadelphia, PA | ONSITE | https://www.waytohealth.org/

Way to Health is a patient engagement and research platform which has been used to power over 100 research studies and clinical programs improving the health of our patients. As just one example, the Heart Safe Motherhood program uses our platform to text postpartum mothers about their blood pressure for 10 days, allowing us to catch mothers at risk for preeclampsia long before they would otherwise show up in an ambulance.

As we scale from research to clinical and commercial use, the Software Developers on our team play a critical role in extending and supporting the platform - designing and building new features to enable novel patient engagement strategies, improving the user interface for our patients and providers, and troubleshooting issues affecting our users.

This position requires strong technical ability to design and build web applications and APIs, clear communication with team members and users to deeply understand user needs, and creativity to solve issues and meet requirements while paying off rather than accruing technical debt.

Bachelors degree and minimum 3 years experience in web development required. We use mostly PHP and Vue.js so experience in either of those is a plus, but we will consider candidates with experience in other backend or frontend frameworks. An interest in medicine, research, and/or patient engagement is always great - we are an excited and engaged team who loves what we do and the impact that we can make.

Email me at [my HN username]@waytohealth.org with your resume or any questions - I'm happy to chat.

The money shot: "The distinction between manipulation and non-manipulative influence depends on whether the influencer is trying to get someone to make some sort of mistake in what he thinks, feels, doubts or pays attention to."

I have stricter criteria, personally. If I am to persuade someone then according to my moral compass I have to respect their epistemic process, and participate in it in a way they would endorse. This is much harder to do than just being sincere and believing you're right / not trying to cause a mistake.

Because forgetting about it was exactly what I was suggesting? Those straw men burn real nice, don't they.
How many of their current users would actually be paying $1 a year? Over the long term how many more? Most of these products want to be free. If I'm paying $1 a year to WhatsApp and see my friend using a different app without being charged for it, I feel like I'm getting screwed. I find it hard to think of WhatsApp truly being a long term product with that business model.

Two, claiming encouraging more ads on your platform is "squeezing locked in users for every dime possible" is only half of the equation. Have you ever talked to a business that relies on Facebook and Instagram ads? They're enormously grateful they exist. Without them hundreds of thousands of businesses would not be possible. That shouldn't be thrown aside as worthless.

I've done the LED mod to an SXGA+ BOEHYDIS HV121P01-10* display. The results were mediocre at best. Color temp was off, LED pattern visible at the bottom edge, non-uniform brightness.

It's really disappointing there are still no modern 4:3 panels suitable for swapping into an X62.
