The headline could have been rewritten as:

"Four companies that nobody trusts want to manage your identity across websites and apps."

Seriously from the T mobile data breaches affecting millions[1], to Verizon's injecting of X-UIDH headers[2], to AT&Ts work with the NSA[3] to the selling of location data by all four mentioned in the article, there is absolutely nothing trusty-worth about any of these companies. It's like cognitive dissonance. Maybe they could include credit monitoring by the 3 completely untrustworthy credit reporting agencies and the service would be feature complete in its' absurdity.

That's a wonderful endeavor and I would gladly try to "convince" people I know to pledge money in it.

Monetary incentives are important for open source maintainers, as they cannot always afford the time to work on their projects.

yup. basically near insta-verified rewards and verification. The issue mentioned below of someone botting can be solved by having "oracles" or trusted advisors with a score to maintain.

That's probably only hold true for (Western) tourists. And I don't think it is fair to compare on that. Tokyo (and Japan in general) rail system can be really intimidating but that's just because its sheer size, but once you know your way around it, it's gotta be among the best rail system in the world.
Hold up - can you give more detail? I saw a bus on the 101 almost exactly like that a few weeks ago.
They're going to be back under a new business name for sure. They're tied into local politics and protected. My friend was a repo man and towed cars, and said lincoln was way worse about vehicles than even his owner's sleazy operation
Mostly, yes.

But "wavefunction collapse" is an ill-defined, non mathematical concept that will not stand the test of bigger and bigger quantum systems. See my more elaborate comment above.
Lidar gives you high precision depth, so you can tell whether or not the car is parked or in the lane.
Finding out who owns the debt is harder. Figuring out who will be pulled in to help unwind the debt in a large-scale default scenario is well nigh impossible, because there seems to be a real risk of the losses being socalised to someone. Mentioning that the Cyprus bail-in [1] could happen anywhere makes me feel like a conspiricy theory; except it happened and there is no reason it couldn't happen elsewhere.

$100,000 sounds like a lot until you do the figures on what a responsible person needs to save if they don't want to wear the risk of the social welfare system comes under sustained attack while they are trying to retire. That sort of possibility is ugly, but you'd be mad not to acknowledge it as a potential threat.

I suppose the ultimate point is that when debt becomes unpayable, someone has to wear the losses of assets suddenly ceasing to exist. Anyone with meaningful savings is at risk in a big system-wide events because even if you understand the situation very well the rules can change in a crisis, making it very hard to control risk.

The numbers are bigger now, wages aren't that much better, savings are as low as ever. If 2008 was bad, the next one could be worse in terms of wiping out wealth. Scary time to be facing retirement.

I still trust T-Mobile more than the other two, despite the breach. AT&T and Verizon are NSA toadies. Maybe I’m näive but it doesn’t seem like T-Mobile is so much in bed with the fed. NSA surveillance is a constant breach, no?

We regularly have the fire department roll up in front of my house to investigate a reported gas leak. One time it scared the crap out of me as I went to let the dog out and there were men on my deck. As it turns out they were from the FD and checking out my grill

At some point I saw a map of all of those mini-leaks which are known and not worth fixing and sure enough one is right in front of my house
Have you tried using google maps? In my experience, it works great for Tokyo transit options.
Yeah but it's not a city either, it's just a loose collection of neighboring suburbs.
No prob. Also, I'd love to read your thoughts on my longer reply above.
Just allowing a towing companies to "patrol" would seem to invite bad choices.

After some rounds of bad towing companies / behavior Minneapolis passed some city ordinances that limited towing. There still are bad actors but a lot of the easier methods they can use are gone now.
Not having a car is freedom. I’m 35 and have never driven and hopefully never will. Can’t imagine having another expense and hassle to deal with.

I have a nice bicycle, live near work, and can get to the beach or mountains fairly easily by either bike or mass transit.
It's just ignorance of what it takes to be a global company that has a huge operations presence in many locales.
Cheaper than the company hosting dealing with tons of lawsuits unfortunately.
that sounds as if the entire world revolved around europe.
Why would you bother taking a trip that involved leaving your entire species hundreds of thousands, even millions of years behind you? It would be energetically expensive, and the civilization that launched it couldn’t expect to care or remember by the time it arrived. That might work for a small group of pioneers willing to go into the blackness, but it’s not the basis for a galactic civilization.
I really loved magicka wizard wars, it was such a shame when it was shut down.
It's not for performance reasons actually, in fact it is already sending every single mouse move to the server because there is a certain spell (Acolyte Beam) that tries to follow your cursor and needs this information.

I did some user testing with following the cursor at all times and people didn't seem to like it. I think the difference between this and agar.io is its quite common to want to be aiming and moving in two different directions, so the mouse click gives more control.

On this topic, one interesting thing which came up in testing was how important it was for the Acolyte to "move through the spells". Initially movement was a spell, and so if you cast another spell, it would stop movement. The game was very stuttered. When I separated out the code for movement from spellcasting, the Acolytes started moving fluidly and the game was much better :).

As for the servers - there are three servers - in Australia, US and EU - so you're playing local. I'm from New Zealand, and US lag was unbearable for the reaction time required for this game. Google Cloud Platform is awesome in that it automatically connects you to your closest server :).
OK, but does the copyright for a score or an arrangement apply to just the thing itself (as in a file or printout) or also to music performed using that score or arrangement?
IMO the bigger issue was the massive, government-funded suburbanization of America. Food trucks work best in a scenario where people need to walk to get food, and driving to another food establishment; when everyone with money is leaving the big city and spreading out over miles and miles, this business model with small/no seating doesn't really work. This business model never really died in, say, New York, where there has always been enough constant foot traffic.

Postwar, people were also much more about modernity and convenience. The drive thru is new, modern and sanitary, and you can drive right up; the food truck is for the poors, is in the dirty city, and you need to find a parking space. But today suburbs are culturally deadening and cities are the hip place to be. We've had a flight back to the cities for a while; this coincides with more food truck uptake.
Not an expert, so someone who is (I'm sure we have several on HN, hopefully one will reach this point), please jump in...

But life as we know it requires small but essential smatterings of "heavier" elements like potassium, iron, calcium, etc. Seems like we may need one or more cycles of stars forming and dispersing these elements into the interstellar medium to then form a solar system with enough of these elements to have life "as we know it." (Not to mention having a rocky planet for the life to live on.)
Why?

Just fly a plane over during the day and done.

There's a lot of (currently unsolvable) problems for your idea that is already literally solved and already available for free to anyone.

PS If you are interested in making what you say possible DARPA are running the "Subterranean Challenge" for $2 million which would be a very simplified version of what you suggest.

If it's possible is a different story -

This happened in Lexington Massachusetts a few years back.
It was over pressurization of the gas system as suspected. Any little leaks get magnified.

To protect the bankers?
I don't call the gas company, I call the fire department. They tend to take paper trails a lot more seriously.
IKEA targets home delivery by electric vehicle in five major cities by 2020
Yeah, I'm on a Mac and it's unplayable with Firefox. Firefox works fine on Windows though, weirdly enough. I've made all the performance improvements I can think of and it's still really slow. I don't know how to fix it, if I could I would!
Sorry, I was being too brief.

Basically, the equations of quantum Physics are fixed, but there are many ways to "interpret" or give meaning to them. The classical one, called Copenhagen, asserts a "wavefunction collapse" that would happen on ill-defined conditions, and is problematic as we find experimentally larger and larger quantum systems.

Another interpretation, Many Worlds (or its more mathematically rigorous form, Decoherence) does not introduce any new concept other than the basic quantum physics equations and has no problem with large systems. In fact, under the Decoherence / Many World interpretation, the entire universe is a single quantum system that has been evolving according to the wave functions since the beginning of time.

I've written more about it above.
Yeah, but at least with a fine you can contest prior to paying. If a car is seized most people don’t have the luxury of being car less for the length of the appeals process.
Could go either way. U.S. infrastructure is terrible and getting worse, which is why the country is collapsing. but (IIRC) natural gas hookups aren't one of the issues that that report emphasizes.

If one building exploded due to a leak then clearly that points to decaying infrastructure, but if dozens of houses explode due to overpressure then that seems more ambiguous.
Even though it May not seem logical, the point is that interstellar travel without FTL speed is feasible.
That's distinguishable, I think. In your example, I gather that the band sold rights to a piece, and not just to a particular score or arrangement of the piece.
All of NYC except Far Rockaway and parts of Staten Island are within 15 miles of midtown, as well as the densest part of NJ including Newark, Jersey City, and Hoboken. And also the three large airports in the region (JFK, LGA, and EWR). I rarely travel more than a couple miles on a daily basis.

My point being, distance is relative to the density of the city. When the city is dense you don't need to travel long distances, so comparing travel time per distance straight across isn't a relevant comparison. But you're still off anyway; the average subway speed is 17 mph, and LIRR/MetroNorth are considerably faster since they make fewer stops.
This isn't a legal takedown notice though, it's facebook's own system to keep the record producers happy. They can do this with impunity because facebook/google's system is designed to help them takedown without having to go through legal notices, which i suspect would have to be filed by a human atleast.
They are not forcing anything. In a free market you are free not to buy their product, and they should be free to offer it with the terms they like. But freedom is a scarce resource these days.
I am not posing a question. I am suggesting he look into the subject. The word "semantics" doesn't hold much meaning for many people, they understand the word "meaning" better. I could have dived straight in and suggested that he look at "denotational semantics", but I considered that just a little too much to start him off with.

By the way, how much are you doing on Katadhin these day?

Love lisp in small pieces! Beautiful book. Also enjoyed Essentials of Programming Languages by Friedman and Wand -- very SICPish into to programming language implementation in that it weaves together this narrative with uniting underlying themes rather than bombarding the reader with seemingly disparate concepts and leaving it an exercise to unite them as many "classic" texts in this discipline do
That came up in a recent thread about this issue. As I recall, someone claimed that expert listeners can tell what score was used.
What _I'm_ saying is that you're free to write your own high performance in memory data store without any bothersome whimsy-related maintenance burden.

Antirez has already written his one, in which he's chosen to include whimsy.

Your objections to him doing that seem... I dunno. Pointless? None of your business? Overly entitled? Not quite sure exactly, but since you didn't pay him to write it for you, objections from you on what he should or shouldn't include in the thing he's allowing you to use for free seem to be at the very least impolite...

While you're happy to burden Antirez with "increasing responsibility" placed on his shoulders in the name of "the profession", you seem to be fairly quiet on one of the fundamental aspects of "profession", which has always implied "getting paid for it". Being part of a profession fundamentally implies "imposing cost on others" for your work. How much money have you offered (or would you be prepared to offer) to Antirez or Redis Labs for a version of redis _without_ whimsy? I'm sure at least Redis Labs have someone in their sales team who'd be happy to negotiate an appropriately professionally priced and supported license for that.

The very name of this command seems to be a perfectly reasonable response to your complaint that this piece of free-as-in-beer as well as free-as-in-freedom software is somehow "imposing costs on you" - LOLWUT?
Sure, here you go.

LOL SCADA? You haven’t been involved with infrastructure in MASS have you?

Let’s put it this way: it wouldn’t surprise me, especially in Lawrence, if some of the gas mains were still made out of wood. Before you scoff, NYC replaced the last wood gas main that they knew of 25 years ago, but they still occasionally find wooden pipe in their systems.

The best way I’ve heard the gas infrastructure described is “antiquated ... if it was aged, it could be updated and replaced, but it’s so antiquated all that can be done is patchwork because there’s no time to do anything but.”
Crafting interpreters is a great place to start! Takes you from basically nothing to implementing a whole language surprisingly quickly.

> a "simple" language like SQL, Markdown

If you're happy to consider Markdown a language (which it is, just not a programming language), you could also consider a (subset of) XML parser, or JSON parser. It's a nice place to start, because it's very small scope, a subset of PL (parsing), and the completed thing is actually usable and useful.

Plus, it gets you a step on the path to a programming language - arguably, the fundamental step.

I recommend a recursive descent parser, and this dragon compiler book (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_Compiler_Desig... Your local uni library has it.). An early chapter gives a complete calculator (arithmetic parser), in very simple and clear C code.

NB the most recent dragon book uses horrific over-complex architecture-astronaut, design-patterns OO java code. OOP has its place, but not like this. Not like this.
Functional consciousness
By chanting AUM, lowering vibrations of the physical body .. I have hacked "myself" from identifying with the brain consciousness, now feeling heart consciousness of the blood flow. I can "access" myself in real time as a branch but it has no “negative emotions” it is not identified with the sense perceptions. Yes senses are all in use serving just pure love, blood flows, one is truly happy and starts to heal. All love. It is functional like a lisp tree or a haskell diamond, enhances the whole body, eyes begin to open up, self healing starts, need for food lowers until one merges with the wind. Then no food if needed. I have watched a foggy lake that was vibrating in green tones mixing with the sky and when I close my eyes it is all radiant sunlight inside..It truly is a non discriminatory way of being, diluting time. I was in the park for hours yet it felt like few moments only, the remainder was interacting with nature. I open my mouth and a bee goes in and leaves a part of her. The way she entered my mouth was so pure, it felt like bliss. one Accepts it, yes, then the insects came on my skin sharing love for a tree. I take my shirt off and share a breath with the wind, the vibration of the body was low, I can feel the currents on my skin and decode that into a pattern in real time.. that pattern is love..
every manifestation has consciousness generated by thought patterns that get addicted in the physical dimension..there is disturbance in my real life because I have to switch to a faster timeline.
That sounds like HTTPS would be an usability improvement, but not necessarily a security improvement.
Interesting. So what does happen with dueling takedown requests? Do first movers always have the advantage?
The existence of cars and airplanes (even horses) is a similar trade-off. Some people have to die for us to even have them.

Ultimately the faster we bring driverless cars to fruition, the fewer people will die, simply because it's inevitable that they will quickly exceed the safety of humans.

Then we will have turned automobile safety into an engineering problem. It was partially that before, we could package the victim better to improve their survivability, but now we can modify the driver ... every driver.
This is super cool! Networked games are a special kind of challenging to pull off, and I'm always really impressed by people who manage to pull these kinds of projects off at any level of polish. Any plans for further development?
I dunno. Tents have a better form factor, but cars provide better weather isolation, durability, and physical security.

They are much more expensive though.

This is playing nonstop on all local news channels in the Boston area, and the footage is terrifying. One house just blew up, and then residents across a wide area said they heard hissing in their home and fires broke out in 70 of them. A news helicopter circled one of them for 40 minutes before firefighters could reach it, there were just too many other fires and not enough local resources. One of the towns (Andover or North Andover) had 38 fires in all, including 18 burning at one time.

They have a good "mutual aid" system here and fire apparatus from the neighboring communities including New Hampshire and all over the Boston area eventually flooded in to these three cities (Lawrence, Andover, North Andover) to help.

Someone mentioned there have been incidents like this before in Lexington, Mass. The news also mentioned another incident in Danvers more than 10 years ago but that wasn't natural gas, it was improperly stored chemicals: http://archive.boston.com/news/specials/local/danvers_explos...

ETA: An 18 year old died - he was sitting in a car in a driveway next to the house that exploded, and a chimney fell on the vehicle.
Hopefully the fine will teach them a lesson?
