Whenever I read an article on a random website and it says "google.com" in the url instead of the actual website url, I want to scream at the screen. How on earth can that be a good idea?
I use org-page (https://github.com/kelvinh/org-page) to write my blog. It has a pretty cool workflow if you are into git, and integrates well with github pages.

The project seems to be dead (or stable!?), but I keep using it because I made some small tweaks to the default theme, which resulted in a clean looking website.

Maybe I'll switch to vanilla org-mode for static website generation in the future since I seem to always be in the mood to remove dependencies from my emacs config these days.
I really think a hybrid solution is the best option.

You vote electronically on a machine and it prints a paper vote.

You verify the paper vote is what you entered and then place it in the ballot box.

The machine can give an "unverified" counts in real-time to tally up results.

The votes can be verified later on using the manual method of counting paper votes. These can be cross-checked with what the machine has said.
My team -- and I'm sure a number of other teams -- are looking into different approaches of implementing a "Proof of Retrievability".
What we need is a cost-effective way for a data owner to verify that their data would be available intact should they need it. And that's where we want to tie our incentive policy for storage nodes owners. And yes, a storage owner does not need to know whose data that is, or which other nodes are storing replicas for the same data.
If anyone's reading the first of those two, make sure to go straight to the last chapter or epilogue or whatever it was. IIRC, it's basically a talk turned into a chapter for the layman. This might only be the in the more recent edition(s).
If TS does not stick around, it's very trivial to remove the types and put it back in plain JS, that's why even in the worst case scenario TS will not be a technical debt.
Yes. o-blog.

> But my money is not on the line.

Well, I tend to think in context of a debit card, but covering your ears and screaming "zero fraud liability" doesn't solve everything.

You're still incurring costs and hassle getting your account detangled after a fraud, and the trouble for getting the cards reissued. The bank itself is going to have to deal with the costs of insurance and payments it was unable to recover. Eventually, somehow we're paying for that in higher fees or worse rates.

It also tends to undermine the fundamental legitimacy of the bank. Remember when banks tended to be big free-standing buildings with huge visible vaults? The message was "we're keeping your money safe." Not "we don't keep it safe, but we have really awesome insurance when we inevitably mess it uo!"
To be fair, I dont read physical mail from Comcast either. I'm constantly flooded with junkmail from them.
Thank you. I'm one for thinking the Republicans are crooked but the headline claim borders on tinfoil-wearing conspiracy.
I think that you can create standalone executables and load those with lambda. I think they need to be statically linked.
Not that useful as there’s a shift towards agile and scrum.

I can't help but wonder what it would take to develop a legitimate artificial pancreas that fits the standards precisely. Would animal testing even be that useful or required given precedent of other insulin pumps?

I suppose being able to adapt to a wide range of pancreas removed animal sizes and life-states could help to show some adaptability but I'm uncertain of how much that would help humans since diverse curve fitting may not be a good thing. Since for instance for humans protein is bad for the kidneys at too high of a percentage even if say cats wouldn't have problems with it.

I'm curious what the back of the envelope budget sizes, time tables, and liabilities would be for organic pancreases as opposed to an official approved smart insulin pump pancreases.
Wow, this is a fascinating answer. Thanks for sharing.
Odesk and upwork is the same website. They rebranded.
I agree 100%. So instead of saying “The web needs to be good! We need to spend time (money) on this!” Say “I ran an A/B test and the top of our funnel had an X% higher conversion rate when the page loaded in less than Xms. Here are my ideas for what analytics to cut to get us under that number. It’ll take some work but our funnel will improve and there’s an added benefit because all execs will view a unified report, which will ensure that all future business decisions are made with one standard set of metrics. This is win win win!”
It does but that setup runs into limits on throughput of individual servers, and doesn't have the same drain/fill/failover capabilities discussed in the article.

To be clear, the HAProxy+vrrp+dns is often a better solution, but this describes an interesting design for a load balancing system that can handle many orders of magnitude more traffic and have maintenance without breaking established connections (one of it's core design features)
I'd expected better from NYC. They are again trying to put back "Medallion" culture back in so that only powerful few can operate taxi business and essentially are licenced to exploit drivers from 3rd world. The city should have seen its taxi system as shameful arrangement where rich people created laws to get license for what was a slave market for all purpose and intent. People like Michael Cohen had exploited this system to make 10s of millions of dollars from the sweat of taxi drivers for practically zero effort. There are no reason to artificially limit the number of taxis. The demand and supply are far more efficient and desirable than politicians.

No bad experiences so far with Revolut, but will admit the customer support is pretty terrible. I had to enquire to the CS team about the top-up limit and ended up getting all of my answers from forums instead of the CS team.
Western culture is not the only culture that has racism or issues with racism.

I've been called chink by an old grizzled Mexican-American (I think?, not sure).

Various Asian cultures have been accused of having racist views. Even against other Asian cultures, like Japanese against Chinese or Chinese against Japanese...
In my mind, if you are working in a official government role and you knowingly destroy evidence of a potential crime, you are already guilty. It doesn't matter if there was actually a crime that was concealed by doing that, the public has a right to transparency and to have a thorough investigation conducted to determine if there was a crime, and you wrongfully deprived them of that.

It doesn't matter if there is some law requiring you to destroy that evidence, because there are also laws requiring that you not destroy evidence of crimes.
I believe all of these stories; I just don't understand why people expect or believe taxi drivers and Uber drivers are fundamentally different people with different incentives.
Along with what others have noted, there is also risk associated with insulin therapy from hypoglycemia (low blood sugars). Low blood sugars can be deadly for type I diabetics, killing as many as 1 in 10[1]. This is at least one of the factors leading to insulin being a tool of last resort, and in fact, insulin is prescribed to type II diabetics with especially strong insulin resistance.

Yes, sometimes buying makes sense, but sometimes renting makes sense as well.

> The address exposure vulnerability is really, really bad

I have the President of the United States' address. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Oh no! I done dox'd him!

Exposing information about someone that is largely already public is somewhat bad, but it's not "really, really bad". And it's certainly not worse than exposing the last 4 of their SSN.

There are many ways to dox people. If you have a specific target, you probably know their name; if not, you can phish it, and any other information you want. If you have their IP, you know their ISP. With their name and their ISP, and maybe some extra info gleaned from various sources like social media, you can get pretty much anything you want. Account access, phone numbers, billing information, socials, etc. With their phone number you can take over their phone, and then all their SMS-linked accounts.

Is this scary? Yes. Did I need to slowly extract their home address using a vendor's web form and their IP? No.

The last 4 of the social is much worse. It makes all of this incredibly easy and gives access to much more sensitive information, like medical records, payroll, government service information, etc.

Years back I used to work for a company that built 8051 clones. It was possible to prevent the microprocessor from reading the flash memory because the 8051 has a separate program memory and data memory space.
In around 2002, my father and I owned a computer assembly and repair business in a small town about 200 miles away from London, UK.

Why would Microsoft run a computer assembly and repair company into the ground, especially in 2002?

That’s pretty hard to believe without there being more to the story.

A fume hood that keeps splatters in and vents a lot would work. I think it's just unavoidable that frying vaporizes/aerosolizes particles, so your options are either vent the contaminated air, or don't fry.
Simplest way? grep.

You've got one entity to search per line, let's presume (if not, pre-process once to a new big file so that you do).

You want to find all entities that have propertyName = "Foo". So run "grep 'Foo' file" and put the result into your actual parsing/processing. You just removed some percentage of your data before the difficult parsing even began. Need to search on multiple fields?

cat input | grep 'Foo' | grep 'Bar' | actualProcessing

Another way to think about Craigslist listings is that those are the prices that buyers haven't paid. (The inexpensive apartments fill quickly while the overpriced ones can stay on the market forever.) So listings will skew higher than actual purchase prices.

(And as your edit suggests, Seattle is much larger than a 1 mile radius from the center of 98101.)
Cert pinning. EOL.
The thing with LDS is that it's more of an organization with a strong (aka oppressive? or too powerful) leadership at top. Every adult has to go on a 'mission' for a full year?

On the flip side, there is no such distinct leadership/requirements in most other Christian organizations. Pretty much anyone call self a Christian.

Maybe Catholics are similar to LDS but I'm not too familiar with them.
If it is anything like the situation in Pennsylvania I can see two causes - politics and representation of the rural and further-suburban disapproving of services 'just for the city' and the current road taxes alone being insufficient. Free while great for adoption also has a bad revenue curve in the more people who adopt it the less money they make in addition to increased operation costs/decreased quality from more crowding of the system. And then there are issues with metrics and success or failure. If public transit makes the road only need repaired every ten years instead of every notice its benefits may not be accounted properly or in a really bad case not even realized if they have roads on fixed repair timetables and only accelerate them if they clearly need repair ahead of schedule.
WhatsApp Flaw Lets Users Modify Group Chats to Spread Fake News
LA’s metro rail is definitely dirtier than the MBTA, and while you’re right that LA faces more challenges with homeless people, there is still a meaningful presence of homelessness on the MBTA, combined with the fact that it’s a much larger rail network in terms of track and ridership and that it has to operate even during horrible winter conditions, I’d say there is a marked step up from LA metro rail to the MBTA in overall quality.

I’ve lived in both downtown LA and Cambridge, and it’s really difficult to conduct life in LA relying primarily on local rail options. Whereas in metro Boston, it’s much easier to live car-free than to own a car. The subway and commuter rail are just a superior way to get around 99% of the time. I mean, it’s not the same degree of car-obsolescence as New York, but it’s much closer to New York in that regard than it is to the situation in LA.
Given things like this: "The default configuration is defined during compilation" [1] and the fact that you'd think 'timedatectl status' would tell you the NTP server you're supposedly trying to sync to (spoiler alert: it doesn't), I'm unsurprised of any further atrocities committed by systemd.

> If what you are describing were anything like reality, the battle for Civil Rights would have been over a hundred years ago and we wouldn't be having this discussion, at least with respect to discrimination in mortgage loans and other financial instruments.

Jim Crow laws were enforced until 1965. They existed in the lifetimes of part of the current generation of would-be homeowners, and that is one thing you can't lay at the feet of the banks.

> All it takes is a cursory glance at almost any mass migration in the US to show why that amplifying effect doesn't exist: when the [x]% finally get the money to move in, everyone else usually moves because of prejudice, driving the value of the neighborhood down and the [x]% into bankruptcy or financial destitution. I can even name a few towns in California where this has happened in my lifetime.

The events you're describing should have the opposite effect. The first family to move in is obviously screwed, but screwed in a long-term sense where they lose the value they paid for their home which only happens in some decades when they want to sell it. Until then their mortgage payment is the same one they budgeted for to begin with. And all the racist white people who are leaving are in the same boat, but right away -- they want to leave but no one will buy their house for what it was worth last year.

Meanwhile there is suddenly a whole neighborhood where housing prices have plummeted and a bunch of white people who would otherwise come in and bid the prices back up are opting out. Doesn't that just make it easier for other black people to buy those homes for a discounted price?

But yeah, you should definitely do your own load testing. GKE or Flex are probably better choices if you need more control.

All the major social networks seem to end up like this at some point. They start out small, users really dig it and use it a lot, then the company experiences massive growth and begins to optimize around metrics, then the user/community experience slowly goes to shit.

Companies like Facebook endlessly proliferate they are all about “connecting people”, but what’s the point of even having people run it when “connecting people” really means just using algorithms to spoon feed bullshit to people so the company can count it as “engagement time” and report it back to their board on the quarterly conference call.

Digital social interaction isn’t a free public good centered around people as long as it’s privitized for the purpose of profit, and it’s also something the government can’t be trusted with providing either.

Honestly, I don’t think we have figured out a good solution or channel for social communication yet. I’m not trying to be a tinfoil hat wearer alluding to blockchain or p2p as the answer because who’s to say it is the answer. We can only use our current frustrations to push us to keep innovating further towards a solution that’s more natural and compelling to use.

Sometimes I long back to the days of AIM, because while it seems pretty feature poor compared to services today, it did the job that I needed it to do, which was provide an easy avenue to stay in touch with current friends and easily start conversations with new people. Simplicity is taken for granted in the world today, and even though we are in the “Web 3” age we shouldn’t just throw experiences and social channels from earlier days of the internet out the window for the sake of illusionary progress. Shit, I even meet people who are still passionate about Usenet, despite it being older than me. That’s damn powerful to see people care about the communities they were/are a part of and remember stories of building friendships and social interactions on the internet some decades later. These are things that seem lost today in a landscape focused on striving towards hitting target numbers.
I've found all the possible configurations by case-by-case analysis. I don't know whether my approach would be considered elegant by the author, but it wasn't exhausting (while being exhaustive).

My cases (or, rather, considerations) were:

1)Three points can form either an equilateral triangle, or an isosceles one;

2)The fourth point must lie on the perpendicular bisector of one of the edges of that triangle;

3)The fourth point may on one of the two sides of that edge.

Given the constraints, that doesn't leave too many cases to consider.

But I, too, wonder what other approaches to the problem there are.

Forgive the shameless self-promotion, but we at Seed offer a customer facing API for read-only transaction data. We would happily build out more API features, but we've seen very little demand, despite the frequent HN threads about bank APIs.

We are a business focused bank, but we support sole proprietors and freelancers as well.

API docs are here: http://docs.seed.co/v1.0.0/docs

p.s. We are working on Android I promise please don't yell at us (again).
I'd assume that two basic things required for such an endeavour are A. to actually have the money you want to give out and B. to have the trust of the community.

Since they admit that they don't have the money, and neither their website nor the less than honest comment by the "founder" (of what? for now, a website) inspire any trust, it seems like this whole thing can safely be ignored.

You're long-term cache is a fantasy.

I use incognito/private browsing mode everywhere I go, and dump my browser state nearly every 5 minutes, by exiting the process at the OS level, to trash cookies and history.

The cache rarely survives more than three clicks deep, and often only on trusted properties like Wikipedia, at that. So, maybe that would chop 124K down to 44K, saving 80K total, which is still reasonable, in aggregate across millions of users and billions of hits, but this degree of pessimism isn't the peak of avoidant behavior. Even if it's the minimum return, it needs to be accounted for as a potential norm.
Management consultant here; this is literally what I do probably 50% of the time. Our buyer has a strategy they want to implement, so they hire us to help them sell it to their boss. Usually we improve them of course; but our buyers can generally handle this stuff on their own -- their bosses don't trust them, and want someone else on the hook.

Trusting subordinates who are incentivized to fudge the numbers is very difficult. Most people won't outright lie to their boss to get ahead, but they will make a bad business proposition look good to the point they genuinely believe it themselves. Leadership is hard.

The "other side" consists of:

- a select few with good reasons to avoid their address being widely known. Because stalkers etc.

- All those infsec bros with their "attack vectors" and their "threat landscape". They'll scream "security by obscurity" when you're using an unlisted URL to share holiday photos, but get really miffed if someone finds out where they live, or where they go running.
I developed the ox-hugo[1] Emacs package, which allows exporting multiple posts (even the website structural pages like Home page, About page, etc.) from a single Org file.

So here's the elevator pitch:

- ox-hugo is an Emacs package that exports from Org mode to Markdown format that's compatible with Hugo (https://gohugo.io) / Blackfriday + automagically converts natural* Org metadata to TOML/YAML front-matter.

- To understand what I mean by "natural" Org metadata, see this table[2].

- ox-hugo works with Hugo. I let each tool to do what they are best at:

(i) Org mode deals with the rich markup (Org macros, INCLUDE, TOC, keywords, Org Babel, NoWeb, property/tag inheritance, etc.) and Emacs/Elisp processing, and

(ii) Hugo deals with all the "Web stuff" in super-fast fashion (roughly 500 pages in less than a second [depends on your theme efficiency too]): Markdown->HTML conversion, generation of list pages, taxonomy pages, RSS/Atom/JF2/.. feeds, minification, cache busting, page generation using JSON/TOML/.. data, etc.

- I prefer having most of the posts be exported from a single Org file (my blog[6] source[3]). So ox-hugo definitely supports that. It also supports the conventional flow of exporting each Org file to a single post too (I use that style too, for my "notes" posts).

- The ox-hugo doc site[1] is dog-fooded by ox-hugo itself. Here's the single Org file[4] that holds the content for the entire site.

--> Here are few Real World Examples[5] of people using ox-hugo + Hugo.
