Emails don't need CDNs. They don't need images. They can be sent directly from one computer to the other.

There isn't a large infrastructure set up for email because it's so damn efficient that a 1990s era computer can serve as an email server for thousands of people.

Every organization can host its own email programs: servers, clients, spam filters, etc. Most businesses and companies still host their own email.
Interesting. Anecdotally, I've heard of many tech companies that are from that area, which seems to confirm what you say.
lua is much easier to execute and much easier to sandbox than JS.
Nicely done! Thanks for being so responsive!
You could also use MQTT, which is a lightweight messaging protocol intended for embedded devices.
Steam in-home steaming sounds right up your alley…
Can I use it to stream the display to another system, but continue using the mouse and keyboard from the gaming PC?

I want to see my PC game on my Mac, but my gaming PC has way better input devices for gaming. (My gaming PC is near my Mac...it is just that the way my desktop is arranged the PC monitor is in a place that is not good for long term viewing, but I can easily put the PC mouse and keyboard in front of the iMac).

Also, it wasn't quite clear from your site. Does this only work with games that you have to specifically include support for, or is it more general?
Just write an interpreter. Any compiler worth its salt will translate that interpreter into a JIT. ;)
Well, that depends. It's easy to lock your front wheel for a split-second on gravel without falling---you just need to keep your balance while the wheel is locked. If there's a certain amount of kinetic friction front wheel drive could even make it possible to recover after balance is lost.

AWD (electric front drive + pedaling) is actually quite common among hobbyists in areas that often have snow (say, Scandinavia). It's as useful as it is for cars.
Location: Russia.

Remote: Yes (possible, but not preferred).

Willing to relocate: Yes.

Technologies: Ruby, Rails, Python, Docker.

> I seemed kind of cool but doesn't do much you can't do with webpages and javascript. Its scripting language seemed much easier to do some things with than javascript though.

In our current developer culture we tend to view things less holistically and more in terms of this-or-that language or system. Hypercard (which was composed of both the visual system and Hypertalk) was one holistic system that fit extremely well with personal computing of the early to mid 90s (which is why recreations of Hypercard on today's machine miss the point).

This was a completely different view of personal computing, one that sought to reduce the chasm between "developer/programmer" and "user". Hypercard allowed authoring in the computing medium, and did so by permitting users take advantage of what was new about computing as opposed to other older media. In fact, they were called "authors" and there were thousand of them — most of them weren't professional programmers.

There is a lot that hypercard could do that the modern web cannot. I cannot copy and paste a button — retaining all of its internal functionality in a different context — from one web page to my own (at least not without a lot of trouble). This was the de facto way to get started in Hypercard.

Hypertalk is another interesting part of bridging the divide. It is difficult for entrenched programmers to reckon with because it's more like natural English and (unlike most programming languages) is easier to read than it is to write. But for regular people it makes sense.

Final point: everything good about computing is about metaphors. Hypercard had one of the best metaphors since spreadsheets: the concept of stacks, cards, and objects on cards. That's all there was and it was easy to understand how these pieces interact. The web does not have anything like this for its "authors" because it is inherently unfriendly to them.
Make it $250M.... $200M... $700M... $3M... GONE :P With the crypto market cap down 70% since January (and general interest with it) they better hurry. Even entrenched players in the crypto space are moving into traditional assets. Makes me wonder if they're not just trying to move money out of the mainland.
Discernible stages in taking a solo startup from beta to GA
A video, apparently with no transcript. More specifically, a video lasting over an hour and three-quarters. Even at double speed I'm not going to watch that, and I'm not sure who would.

Anyone care to watch the whole thing and provide some bullet points? I relax into long-form texts, but long-form video is something I just can't bring myself to watch.
To cause grief for a CA you don't much like?

I'm taking issue with the idea of checking CAA records against CT logs after the fact as a means of verifying CA compliance with CAA.
If somehow the private key of a root CA gets leaked, will that make all devices vulnerable?

Also what is stopping a government from getting access to these private keys?
I think the idea was good, it's just too bad so many apps (many by Google) went the lazy path of leaving the icon as-is and adding a white background layer.

Also note that they're only circular on Pixel.
Ah, this is where it gets interesting.

I suspect the author of the (wonderful) book linked above would suggest that 100% of the pictures would be recognizable as a _picture of a tree_ -- a form which we all learn by age 5 but which does not actually correspond to a physical tree much, if at all.
That has nothing to do with someone's browsing history...

Seems like you just have an issue with CloudFlare, and will keep changing the subject.
I interpreted the post to mean Paypal is the poster's preferred choice for using as a credit card processing gateway. Merchants can sign up with Paypal to handle all card transactions, and buyers don't need a Paypal account to use it. From the buyer's perspective, this is just an ordinary credit card transaction, it just shows up as being directed through Paypal as a middleman. The convenience is when buyers do have a Paypal account, then they no longer have to re-enter CC# details even on sites they've never purchased from as long as they support Paypal-processed credit-card payments.

FWIW I take the same option, because it does feel nice to buy from a website without typing credit card information into some ad-hoc javascript form they came up with.

Note that this is not the same thing as making a payment from a Paypal account.
Train them better. There’s nothing inherent about these studies’ results. Doctors are well-educated human beings and are capable of correcting for their subconscious biases.
Not a surprise with what the media has been doing. They've done it for every (R) President, but it gets worse every time. They protested Reagan, worried he was going to start a nuclear war with Soviet Russia. Worried he was going to take away rights from women. Worried what he was going to do in Central America. They called Bush 43 worse then Bin Laden, the worlds greatest terrorist. Hollywood commissioned movies like Fahrenheit 9/11 to try and conflate national tragedies with certain political views. Now with Trump, you have straight out suppression of certain viewpoints, implicit acceptance of violence against those in power, implicit acceptance of 'acceptable' racism, and constant ratcheting up of rhetoric by those who lost.
I remember what Jon Stewart said on the Daily Show in 2012, to Republicans. "You LOST, it's SUPPOSED to taste like a shit sandwich!"
Sounds like DVD-RW...
Apple will most likely catch whatever you have in mind. If not, they will certainly pull your developer agreement once they figure it out.
Apart from the obvious acting of Alex Jones, i put post-Trump CNN on the same level as Infowars. Jones definitely puts out less hysteria than CNN if you monitor both youtube channels.
>>Fewer guns === fewer shootings. Axiomatic.

No way is that axiomatic: What room would you rather be in:

100 people in a room, each with a gun. One person is Hitler.

100 people in a room, only one person has a gun and it's Hitler.

What your theory is missing is that often the intent of the person with a gun matters much more than the gun itself.
You cannot really predict this because you don't know when a weakness in a cypher is discovered. Yes it might never happen but it might also happen three days from now. Any piece of software that involves cryptography must be able to change the used primitives quickly in case they are compromised.

Where do you have the information about how Wireguard would handle such a transition from? Looking at https://www.wireguard.com/protocol/ I can see no protocol version or other means to distinguish between an old and new version of the protocol. Also this would introduce additional configuration and a negotiation step which seems to run counter to the motivation of the project.

Not preparing for for this inevitability seems foolish which leads me to believe that this was not an oversight but a deliberate design decision by the creators of Wireguard.
PayPal (linked to my credit card as well) is #2 for me. Most of the time I use instant transfer services (there are quite a lot of them in Poland, integrated with most banks in the region). My favourite one is Blik (founded mainly by the biggest Polish bank PKO BP, but also supported by most of the others): you start a session, generate a one-time 6-digit code in your bank's mobile application, enter that on the payment site, confirm transfer information on your phone and it's done. I also use it to withdraw cash from ATMs and on some occasions have used it to help my friends pay in emergency situations (they've just called me, I've given them a code, they've entered that, I've confirmed et voila).
Thanks for doing the legwork on this.

It's still a dumb warning, but at least it's being applied in the dumbest way possible.
We don't claim to be the cheapest on all products yet - there's some bizdev work to do before we can say that.
I think these giant corporations are effectively quasi-government organizations. Just like the large banks have spent large amounts of money lobbying and have populated influential positions in the treasury for years. These corporations like Google are doing a similar thing in technology [0].

At the risk of detracting from the admittedly cool technology: Yay, yet another freaking terms of service that's 8 miles long and includes a mandatory, binding arbitration clause.

I'm getting so sick of these. It's to the point now where I actively seek out companies based in the European Union or Canada since those countries' laws don't permit such shenanigans.

(Also, at the risk of sounding bitter or hostile, if someone's about to reply to me and say "well, everybody's doing it" or "the lawyers make us," save it. If you're an executive in your company, you can make the choice to not have one of these and you didn't. I genuinely don't care if you personally don't like it.)
Isn't zcash and monero based on similar principles?
I rode the lefty for years. Its a great bike. Though, you can actually feel the fact that its slightly less structurally sound than a traditional fork.

But I loved it.
just a total guess on my part, but they are basically inserting themselves in between a game and a stream.

the product might also be targeted to be acquired by any of the market players, but i can't see anyone outside of twitch and mixer (being a microsoft product) would be interested.

maybe they will have access to their own set of gaming stream content, which allows them to be an streaming platform in general, which would allow them to be a competitor to twitch/mixer.

also... "selling" access streamers (i.e. the streamers are the content and advertisers/publishers can reach them through rainway), so more of a complementary product to the streaming sites.

there's also the alternative of having premium services on a subscription model. most likely idea here would be some sort of premium model that bumps you higher up in content discovery somehow, or just free games.
Yes; nothing.
I won't get the answer to that question, it seems, because their site doesn't work properly on mobile...
The theaters have access to lots of data on their moviegoers, especially through their rewards programs. Way more than what MoviePass has. If the data showed that MoviePass members were more likely to buy concessions to the extent that it affected the bottom line in a material way, right now we would all be feting MoviePass for its daring-do and forward thinking as it announces yet another theater partnership, instead of discussing its impending demise.
Yes, but the availability is not set when you open the app, it isn't set until you check-in, which you can't do until you get to theatre.

If you live a 20-minute drive from the theatre... You open the app at home, see your movie listed, then drive there. It is quite possible that by the time you get there MP has decided you can't watch that movie anymore.

There's no way to work around this and it makes the service basically unusable.
I'm not buying it. Famine was a constant and very real threat throughout history until around 1800 in the US. There was no defense against disease. No medical care. No dental care. Get an injury leaving you unable to work? You died.

If people in those days had less anxiety, it hardly meant they had less adversity and risk. It likely meant they accepted lower expectations of what life was about.
What wish would you ask a math genie to grant?

I just tested this (I think):

I opened a link from fb messenger in chrome. The back button is still there, and clicking it returned me to messenger. So yes I believe so.

Reading the thesis / synopsis of this book, I feel I live on a different planet than Pinker. Not sure how this would make anyone struggling with the bottom of the Maslow hierarchy feel better ...
Considering that's more than a cab costs in some European countries, driver included, I would say we aren't talking about commodity tech, but a highly profitable initial phase.
Ask HN: Does it help or hurt an AI startup to publish research papers?
Curious to know what you think and especially if you can provide an example from experience.
Well, diagnosis relies on hard data and empathy. It is a personal observation of mine (male) that women have general higher empathy.

For medicine in particular, female biology forces you to experience symptoms and treatments earlier, more often (male teenagers do not experience menstruation and OB/GYN visits, to spell it out).

I can absolutely see how this shapes behavior.

A lot of patients complain about western medicines inhuman conveyor belt methods, which plays into this. Diagnosis practices in TCM are wondrous in comparison (male and female!).
Coincidentally, the signing key for their RPM has been changed a few days ago and they recommend you reinstall from a direct download instead.

Note: I'm just a backend dev, but I've been looking into data engineering a bit recently so I'm not terribly experienced. Happy to be corrected

Problem here is they are using a system designed for the typical webapp use-case (OLTP). It's optimized to find a particular row or rows and then maybe update them with low latency.

ETL tools are more optimized towards this sort of bulk data processing (OLAP) where we want to scan all the rows for a particular column and run some sort of analysis.

A simple optimization some databases make for this is to orient the data so that each whole column is stored together rather than storing each row together. This makes it much quicker to run queries over an entire column or two in a table.

Generally modern ETL is optimized towards working with LARGE amounts of data so there are many tools that are optimized for this.

EleGiggle Hackernews got Jebaited! Let's see how triggered male nerds duke it out with social justice cucks. I guess sctb and dang will have a busy day. In my humble opininon, this article should have never reached the front page because it is a recipe for conflict and community infighting.
To be charitable: colloquially, "we do not" can mean "it is against our principles or practice to do so." E.g. "we do not put our customers' safety at risk" implies "and we will continue to do so in the future," not "but that may change at any time."
Fair Enough....
It seems to me that it's more likely you're one of those people behind spamming Freenode.
Seeing comments here of people who want mobile-like or web-like features in Thunderbird, I feel old school, but daaamn, 11? That's 6+ years of piled remote vulnerabilities. Clearly Thunderbird is not to your liking and you should try other clients.
For a desktop - if you're running Linux (or maybe FreeBSD?) - then the POWER9 based Talos workstations seem like a reasonable alternative:

Pricy, but they don't have the ME/PSP problem.
There's no shortage of people today trying to tell everyone else how to live, and trying to enforce it.
I want to add: plant based diets are associated with something like a 10% (or more) decrease in overall cancer risk, which doesn't seem like a lot, BUT the average life time risk to DIE because of cancer is 1:5, so really fucking high.
My point was that it sounds like you lost because you didn't even try to fight them, which is what their strategy was relying on.

I can't comment on the other cases or why they were ongoing, but the only cases I know where Facebook didn't fold immediately when challenged by legal counsel were ones were the startups were actually trying to ride on Facebook's trademarked coattails and naming their product/using colors/fonts/etc similar to Facebook so as to trick consumers into thinking their product was affiliated in some way with facebook. Those are fights that Facebook won't back down on, nor should they.

You're correct, but for clarity for those playing along at home: that's just another variant of a cross-signed root. It's not an actual root CA in the sense that I was using it (self-signed): that is still always pointless.
Is the goal to be bought out by Google? Plenty of whispers that they're interested in providing this sort of service.
> Nobody with real problems gives a damn about density or the environment.

I think there is a lot of evidence which contradicts this line of reasoning. Being in nature has a relaxing effect. Even just this past week

Although, I would agree that many people are alienated from the biosphere and don't realize how it may help them feel better,
Really? Are the audit results or an announcement about them public?
It's like a WoW addon. They should make the entire UI scriptable and create an addon store.
I'm with you. Google writes it like they're trying to exploit the user. Apple writes it like they're working to help the user. They're both working toward the same goal, but it definitely speaks to how they're designing Android (for the app ecosystem, not the user).
US media has more important issues to cover than major banking scandals.
Oh my god. This is so dumb that I'm almost compelled to frame it and put it on a wall.

Let me know when you decide to join us in the real world, with real problems, where the statement "fewer guns === fewer shootings" is in fact axiomatic.

I am confident that it is, if for no other reason than the way you choose to "disprove" it is by asking me to imagine a room with 100 people and Hitler in it. Like, if that's the best you got...it's a fucking axiom, my dude.

Be better.
Man I’ve literally never encountered this
> Little I knew this is actually a test that psychologists use to demonstrate how our brain sometimes tricks us into thinking we know something even though we don’t.

This seems like a leap, or at least an oversimplification of what the author is referring to in psychology. I’m convinced that my attempt to draw a bicycle would be quite terrible, but I’m also convinced that I would be able to look at my drawing and judge it as terrible.
>Maybe I’m biased cus the cops where I live routinely send people to the icu or coroner for just being in the vicinity of a cop

In western countries with civilized police and legal systems this is not tolerated.

At least AMD has consistent AVX performance over prolonged periods of time. Intel starts throttling and downclocking so hard because of heat output that if you are doing any type of mixed workload, its better to skip the AVX instructions since the rest of the workload will suffer due to the extreme performance degradation.
I don't know if you are asking for how to actually develop the applications or how to build the business that includes an application but my go to for startup advice is Steve Blank (https://steveblank.com/). His stuff is easy to understand and helps me work through some of the difficult problems of creating a company from scratch.

That sounds pretty cool
Unfortunately, with how Google/Facebook works, if someone else posts or sends a message to me regarding a life happening, it still tells Goog/Book my data. If I have a profile on those sites, the data is added to my account. If I don't have an account, then its added to my ghost profile.

I can't get away from any of the major data collectors while living in the US. I couldn't even get away from the data collectors living in Europe - I have so many friends here in the US. Their communications aren't subject to the GDPR.
It seems like there’s a dark joke to be had here about US infrastructure.
I have mixed feelings about this. I fear it will actually make Jones' brand of demagoguery and crackpot theories more appealing and sexy. The best thing to do might be to let far-right conspiracy theory propaganda die in the mainstream, since the mainstream is where things go to die.
No reason given.
