I actually don't want to advocate a specific map software right now, as we are likely to switch between multiple systems until we find one we like.

OpenStreetMaps ( https://www.openstreetmap.org ) is the data source for most other mapping systems though.

Suffice to say, I am setting it up so that it can be more easily replaced if need be.

Redis Labs was originally using AGPL for their software before they switched to the Commons Clause. It seens companies had no issue using and selling the software. The issue was they didn't want other people to commercialize their software, which is perfectly fine by Free Software supporters.
I'm sure the sale of marijuana for use in the study would probably run afoul of the good old commerce clause that lets the federal government regulate sale of just about everything.
Just as with video piracy, the civil disobedience to support the market is a necessary risk that supporters must be willing to make.

How can you tell it is Teamsite?
What opportunities in online apps does this create? Restaurant loyalty programs, daily special updates, custom food kit delivery...
I think at some places it starts off as the "no asshole rule", but then as you start hiring more people like the rest of the team, that will lead to actual discrimination. If you have a team of early 30 somethings, they may not want a young 20 something or an older 40 something on the team because, well, they're not like the other team members. And it's not always explicitly "we don't want 40 somethings". It is simply implicit in the way you hire. But implicit or explicit, it's still wrong.

85% at least seems fairly reasonable. Your main losses will be in the motor/generator, and that sort of roundtrip efficiency is doable there. Hydro will be a bit worse as you'll also suffer from turbine losses, but the coupling between a motor and a concrete block will be nearly 100% efficient.
Computer systems are only useful because they can run application programs. "Systems programming," therefore, is one that aims to improve the utility of the computer, as opposed to "application programming" which solves concrete problems posed by users.

Basically, lifting and lowering cement is a poor battery.
$5270 seems possible. It's 2 techies in a nice two bedroom where a one bedroom is $3-4k. You might get 4 people in there. I've noticed that 1 bedrooms typically price at over half of the equivalent two bedroom rent.

How to write about eating insects:

Claim that eating insects is a big thing in Asia, Africa, and various indigenous cultures.
Mention seafood.
Talk about some new insect farming and processing ventures.

Point out that they are rich in protein.
Point out that they're cheap to raise.
Make a quip about how we're already eating insects because tiny minuscule bits end up in processed foods.

This is super game/group dependent. For example if I'm playing with a 5 stack I'll have open mic on volume cutoff. We're casually chatting pre-game and ptt is not useful there, then dota starts and I cannot manage the additional load of regularly using ptt key whilst playing so I'll end up talking way less and it's bad

On the other hand in a 250 man fleet in Eve Online - you'd best believe everyone with open mic is getting banned from the server.

Besides code I'd also wish for accompanying code reviews and deep dives, like Fabien does for game engines, though for smaller things the code is usually just fine to just dive in and explore.

17 years after 9/11, my question is:
we never had any other event comparable to the twin towers attack because of the extreme security measures we took after that?
Or is it a false causality? Can we even establish causality between the enhanced security and the lack of large-scale airplane attacks/hijackings?
A naive question, but how hard would it be to generate original music from a natural language search instead of just returning matching tracks?
I guess I have a crappy brain, then, because it just makes me paranoid and depressed.
It's a short lived kind of happiness because you quickly adjust to the new norm. This puts you on a treadmill of having to constantly upgrade, which does make advertisers happy.

There might be other forms of longer lasting happiness that don't require needing to continuously upgrade one's life.

Domestic U.S.? No one checks passports. International? Probably. Scanning a boarding pass takes very little time, so I don't see this as a big benefit to travelers.
This actually seems like the more ecological design, as the concrete used for weight here would be less than the amount used for a dam, and you wouldn't also have to pervert the flow of a river in order to build it. Besides, one time costs are trivial compared to running costs of industrial processes in terms of the environment, especially in terms of power production.
I wrote about non secure contact pages of various banks in Australia back in 2014 [1] and sent them all private messages. Didn't hear back from a single one saying they were working on it. Haven't checked lately to see how or if they changed.

Marijuana is defined as a schedule one drug by the DEA, meaning they believe it has no accepted medical value and should not be studied. Being in possession of or trying to purchase this drug for a medical study would therefore be illegal. Publishing the results would be admitting you performed a federal crime and you would be arrested. Additionally, human studies require approval by an on site or third party institutional review board prior to initiation to validate that they are ethical. It is unlikely that an IRB would approve such a study because it would be viewed as unethical and it would shift some liability to the university.

Its possible to perform studies with illegal drugs that are not schedule one however. For example, cocaine is schedule 2, and I helped work on a study where we purchased cocaine legally from Sigma and administered it to animals to study something which actually had nothing to do with the stimulant effects of the drug.

>I am rational in my thinking and approach.

Your post on this topic, two notches down questioning a Rice University professor: "I know a lot of professors who have plagiarised to obtain PhDs. So I would never accept a professor's word to technical details."

I will safely ignore your frivolous replies. You are anything but rational.
I tend to come down on your side of the craft vs. engineering debate, but then I disagree with basically your entire argument for it :)

You list three distinguishing features of an engineering discipline. The first and third swap cause and effect; a field doesn't become engineering because once it requires licensure and years of study. Surely you wouldn't agree that a successful campaign to require those things for software developers would bestow the status of engineering upon the work.

Your second point seems closer to the truth, but I'm not so sure it's true. If someone comes to a civil engineering firm and says, "design us a road between this city and that city", that is often a unique challenge because the terrain between those two cities is likely unique, maybe it requires a big bridge or a tunnel, which will be akin to but not identical to other bridges and tunnels you've built before.
Whenever I see messages of this kind, there is some doubt light that turns on in my head. Wondering if it’s possible I missed something, but I always have to conclude that, no, there isn’t anything wrong with my thought process.

They really are just that clueless...
>You're right, we should be totally OK with a company that makes profit off of us using 10 year old outdated security techniques - we wouldn't want to be rude.

Nowhere did the person you're replying to even hint at, suggest or in any way imply this. He/she just said that shaming people into doing whatever the $good_thing_of_the_day is is a case of assuming the ends justifies the means and that's kind of ethically murky.

I don't have a problem with putting a bank on blast for bad security. Security is part of their core value proposition. That's why most people don't hide their savings under their mattress.

There are quite a few online retailers that offer same-day deliver if you pay for it, through Best or other couriers other than PostNord (or traditional post couriers).

From the top of my head I've bought in Elgiganten, Webhallen, Caliroots and SNS with those.

Also, it's quite easy if you live in Stockholm to pay online and pick it up in person, I do that quite often with Webhallen as I have a store close to my office and also to my apartment.

Never felt the need for same-day on anything though, it's just a small convenience to quench my delivery anxiety for stuff I'd really like to have right now but waiting a day or two (I don't even recall any delivery taking longer than that) is completely ok.
Perfect customer retention is not their goal. If selling 100 for $70 gives $7000 in revenue and selling 70 for $100 gives $7000 in revenue and the inverse relationship is linear, they should sell 85 for $85 and get $7225 in revenue.

They have created solid economies of scale that others can't match. Together with the massive amount of customer data they are in a position where they can optimize their prices and respond and react in almost real time to get optimal customer retention.

The long term goal is dynamic pricing for the perfect price discrimination (personal pricing). Detect when the customer is tired or stressed and show higher prices. Detect price conscious customers and show them lower prices. Maybe Alexa can trained detect the mood from the tone of voice and exploit that.
Shouldn't be an issue.

Of course it was. The surface area of browser tech is just so large. We need a subset of html+css and a browser that only renders that with a really simple implementation (plus side, low bandwidth and terminal friendly). Not a full browser with features conditionally disabled. I haven't put enough thought into client-side scriptability so I'd punt on it for now, but I did put thought into other parts the other day [0]. Many onion services don't want all the features of the modern web anyways. The TBB can still exist for users of full sites of course.

This is why I've been unhappy to see Bezos gaining steam. As his other products become more successful, you can expect a lot more of this.

Alexa is not your friend, Alexa is a tool to make Amazon money. Amazon's move into media is not an effort to improve the media system, it's a recognition that there's a lot of money to be made by controlling the media that people consume. Same thing with the fire phone, it wasn't an attempt to make a better phone, it's an attempt to gain access to all of that juicy information that Google gets from Android.

Bezos is out to make an empire, everything else comes second.
I'd say there's many many counter examples to this. For example Brexit, Climate Change, Trump 'making American Great Again' etc etc etc

Nobody seems to care. I guess its because, without that spending, America would be a third-world country by now.

EDIT: you can't discuss America's illegal wars from the perspective of the innocent victims. This will get you downvotes - nobody likes to think of their military as anything less than 100% honourable and invulnerable to such error. Nobody wants to know about the maimed kids and utterly evil destruction of civilisation at the hands of America's Thug Warrior Class... You can't discuss America's illegal wars from the perspective of the cost to Americans - nobody likes to think what those $Trillions could have done, to improve American society - and there is much it could have done (e.g. Healthcare, Skid Row, colony on Mars, etc.). So, how can we get Americans to see the idiocy of their military-industrial-pharmaceutical-complex? What methods, perhaps extreme, might gain their decadent attention to the issue of their out of control state? One wonders ..
Ask HN: Returning to university as an experienced developer
Hi HN,

For the past three years, I've been working as a Web Applications Developer (LAMP stack). Although having dropped our after attending one year of Computer Science in 2009 I was able to attain this position without a degree.

I'm not fully satisfied by the rate at which I'm currently learning and I feel I could be doing a lot more for my career/personal development. I now have the opportunity to attend an online Level 8 Certificate in Software Development in university based on my industry experience (cert equates to half an BSc Hons here in Ireland [1]). The cert is a year long with the option to stay on for a second year to obtain a BSc Honors. The entire course is very cheap as it's part of an upskilling initiative so money is not an issue here.

I've thought long and hard about this opportunity but the same question keeps arising -- Do I really need it? I'd love to progress my career, particularly into AppSec. A degree will give me validation and recognition in what I currently do and I have no doubt I'd learn something by completing a full degree; however, could this time be better spent within the industry in a more challenging role?

There is another certificate offered at the same institution which is broader but I'd find it a lot more interesting [2], and though it would mean a lot more time/difficulty in attaining the BSc Hons, I feel it would offer a lot more experience that I could use in a professional capacity.

I'd be grateful if anyone could share any similar experiences or any advice that may help me progress.

5 Crucial Mobile Advertising Mistakes to Avoid
Uhh, yeah, it wasn’t such a bad choice 20 years ago. I had no idea they were still using it lol. Interwoven we called it back then.
Brazil absolutely was a Baron country for most of its life (except they were more commonly called Colonels or Captains). Starting on the 16th century the Portuguese kingdom would distribute land for agrarian usage, and the Barons not only owned the land but its ownership was also hereditary. An intricate taxation system was developed that stimulated lang aggregation and so not long after you'd find many of these land owner families owned immense tracts of land - larger than cities or states, and became very rich.

As centuries passed, this system of power persisted, and there is still very very old money in Brazil. Many of these families would give tracts of land away for poor people in exchange of political support, and so they grew into the national political scene. Numerous past presidents came from these families (such as Sarney and Collor).

In short: Brazil has a longstanding colonial culture that persists even though its population might not be aware of it. All its symptoms are still there, including distrust in political entities, assertion of political power by intimidation or populism, archaic taxation systems, and a general sense of powerlessness to change things.
Wouldn't the counterweight only balance (a guess) an empty elevator? Therefore any added weight would be useful for energy recapture?

I realize there may be some over compensation in play, but unless the counter weight's weight is actual adjusted for each load, there should be something to work with.

I agree the headline needs simplification, but think this goes to far.

Original headline:

Suggested headline:

The headline as submitted:

My objections are the headline as submitted is un-grammatical and also simplifies inaccurately way more than necessary for this audience (and anyone who would be interested in the actual article)
So for a regular investor (not day trader or "scalper"), this means they potentially losing some change due to potentially poorer fill prices. TD Ameritrade charges $6.95 per stock trade. If you trade very few stocks at once, it actually might be more beneficial to use RH even with knowledge of worse fills.

On the other hand, if someone trades 1000+ of shares at once, they might have a better deal from "traditional" brokerages.

I personally just playing with the stock market in RH app with a very small amount at stake. And as a result, my orders are of 1-10 shares at most. At this level, I actually don't mind my orders being routed to HFTs if this is what takes to make RH free to trade.
Isn't that what the current system is all about?
