That number was calculated as of 8PM Friday. It doesn't include the impact of this news.
I think the info is fine for HN, what bothers me more is that this article is just a link to https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/9/28/17914308/k... which has more detail.
For me, it's in the top right corner of every issue.
Facebook uses it, internally, for code/image deploys/updates.
I have never seen a private practice that couldn't handle cash payments such as credit cards and, well, cash. They may not be set up to handle Stripe or Google Wallet, but they may be and not even know it. I have a friend who's father, an internal medicine doc in North Carolina, has actually taken farm animals in payment.
Completely off-topic: I always feel a pang of nostalgia when I see mention of "Dawn". It was the one and only launch I have ever seen (2007), and it still gives me goosebumps.

For anyone thinking about maybe going to see any kind of launch, do yourself a favor - GO!
No! The ending code broke and exited. I had to revert to old school style by following her into the living room and getting down on one knee.
I'm always objective focused with my team...

1. we breakdown issues/bugs into 2 - 4 hour increments where we write test(s) to replicate. Then share with team. Hopefully there can be a fix in that time, else create a new issue.

2. we breakdown new tasks into 2 - 4 hour increments with a new function(ality) + necessary tests

Then we spend ~1 hour a day doing code reviews. Some days I can get through multiple issues, some days it's just 1. In either case, we can assume 5 - 8 tasks / issues a week are completed. How everyone does it is up to them; so that's how you decide how much work you need to do.

Unfortunately, estimating can be poor for these tasks, but that's why we time box it and require a team notification for any issues (plus tests). It works relatively well, and everyone checks for open PRs or code reviews between each task -- so blockers don't occur.

I recommend trying something like that.
In case it's not obvious, the book in the photo at the top of the article is NOT the St. Cuthbert Gospel. (You don't hold a thousand-year-old book in your bare hand.)

The actual book (scans) can be seen through the link at the bottom, of the article: http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/FullDisplay.aspx?ref=Add_MS_890...

The calligraphy is really beautiful.

Edit: Well, shut my mouth. I guess I was wrong.

But the calligraphy really is beautiful. And that cover is insanely well-preserved.

Sorry for the noise.

Sweeping stuff under the rug helps in the short term but not the long term in my opinion. Compassionately responding to an abusive Email (even just saying, "I can understand why you were so angry...") might be the very response that person needs to dissipate their anger or re-evaluate how they communicate with people and that helps everyone they interact with after you. Sure, things can get messy too and some discussions are easier offline, but I think there's merit to completing conversations even if they're difficult.
Why do people still run gopher servers? To keep some content/discussion open to only a self-selected community?

Well, I for one thought it meant the first ever torrent is still going. Why wouldn't people assume 'world's oldest torrent' means just that?! And 'the world's oldest running torrent is still running' is like 'world's oldest living human is still alive' - of course they are.
Ah yea, mostly, just frustrated that they just keep creepin on all of us. No means no, ya know?
He did not design Falcon.
I don't know the real reason but for myself, I actually uninstalled Spotify after I found out about the P2P feature. There was a noticeable lag when I would play online console games and had Spotify open on a PC or laptop. It was never really an advertised feature and it kind of pissed me off that they would do that without a clear notification. Took me a bit to troubleshoot as well. I'm sure it was in the user agreement but come on, who reads that.
We don't have enough mandated holidays.

1.) There should be at least one federal holiday that constructs a three-day weekend each month. I think ideally, any new such holidays should grant the Friday, rather than Monday, as the holiday day - Friday is traditionally the day of dumping problems on someone else, and ruining their weekend. Ruining a three-day weekend in this fashion is especially egregious, and, at least temporarily, the Friday switchup should help to confuse the problem-dumpers.

2.) The informal Thanksgiving and Christmas-New Years week holidays should be formalized - these are already de facto periods of minimal productivity, they might as well be de jure, and we can just focus on being happy/miserable with our families during this period.

3.) In similar fashion, the entire 4th of July week should be declared a holiday, if for no other reason than to resolve issues of confusion on proper conduct when the 4th falls upon inconvenient days like Wednesday, as occurred this year. A week of vacation during the period when there is actually the potential of usable daylight and pleasant weather would have significant mental health implications.

4.) How the freak is voting day not a national holiday already?!?
> It’s foolish to say that just because a data structure superficially satisfies some API (like being passable to min), that it “ought to have” some behavior that the author wants.

I disagree. There is also a concept of "principle of least surprise". To take an extreme example, let's say you wrote a standard library where push!(array, item) actually takes the array and deletes it. Would it be foolish to say this is bad design because it shouldn't "ought" to have some behavior, it's up to the user to know what's going on under the hood?
And from that I can track down your social media accounts, perhaps your forum accounts, you most likely have the same username/identifier for all forums, correct? Now I know everything about you.

Also important to emphasise that once you know someone's user/email you can cross reference against leaked database dumps to reveal passwords. They might have changed them since on X website but may not on other sites.
there's no other tool at the same price-to-features ratio that Bitbucket gives.

The included Bitbucket Pipelines is also very very cool. at 30 developers, you pay a 1$ per month cost. Gitlab is at 4$ minimum.
There's a reason hearsay isn't accepted in courts because of its unreliability. But this doesn't strike me as potentially true at all. No university I know of would not take intentional academic fraud seriously. Even the mere mention of it would result in a serious investigation at minimum. It is the most alarming of accusations, and if it were found to be true, would utterly and permanently destroy a career.
This project, and others like it, strike me as an extraordinary waste of time.

Think of how remarkable it would be if Chimpanzees in captivity began to speak. This would mean chimpanzees have the language capacity but, in every observed chimp, it simply never occurred to them to use it?

It’s about as likely as finding a flightless bird somewhere and teaching it to fly.
It doesn't really have a proof of anything in there - just some empirical observations and heavy hand-waving.
But that was where Netscape, a commercial company, and others wanted to take the web. The original idea of the web was to share simple marked up documents, not applications. The image tag was even hotly debated when it was first introduced.

As for figuring out how to turn the web into an app platform, Netscape and Sun might have gotten farther in the 90s if it wasn't for Microsoft. There used to be a saying in the 2000s that MS held back technology for a decade.

>They found it extremely profitable, with no need to smuggle the product across the increasingly militarized U.S. border, and with a much broader market than illegal drugs. “Everybody needs gasoline,” El Polkas says. “You’re always going to have customers. Especially when it’s cheap.”
Last few years have been incredibly rough for the industry, after the amazing growth with social games and mobile games. Will be interesting to see what the industry looks like 3-5 years from now...
I can understand much more being a fan of Elon than a fan of a sports professional. One could say Elon is changing the world, or at least trying to, and is trying to accomplish dreams (going to Mars for example).
I still have the option to use old gmail thankfully.

They did the same thing to YouTube, however there is a nice Chrome extension to force the old version.
I'm remote and have been prone to workaholism in the past. Here are my techniques:

- I do track my progress on key long term objectives. If I'm getting behind I need to know, and burn the candle at both ends until I catch up. This should be rare.

- I try to set a daily goal or two of stuff to get done to make sure I stay focused on something productive and don't get distracted with yak-shaving or non-work.

- I stop hourly-ish and assess what I've achieved in the last hour. Sometimes I'm just not getting anything done and I'm better off calling it a day to get some real rest and diversion.
How is this even validated or profitable? Companies ask me for various information all the time and I usually just make it up or use an old #, old zip code, etc. Once they have the data, then how do they make money?
Niels Bohr’s Argument for the Irreducibility of Biology to Physics (1994)
This was my first impression too. Tim and a certain contingency have always wanted that stuff to take off, but the benefits have never been clear enough to make it happen. It's an easy concept to overengineer. The Web took off because it was simple. Anyone could author a rich document in HTML and share it just by sticking it in a folder and passing around the link. The Web now gets harder by the day, so history just might repeat itself sooner or later.

I think Solid needs to start with cleaning up their communications as the whole thing is hard to understand.
I am a pretty big fan of Elon, I’ll explain how I think about it. To me, it’s not about being a CEO, it is about rooting for a visionary. I want Elon, and his missions via various business ventures, to succeed. The success of an actor, athlete, etc will have zero inpact on me personally. Some of the things Elon and team are trying to accomplish, could materially change my life, as well as many others. It feels much more real, more connected to me. Yes, maybe his methods/antics are silly at times, but he’s human, and trying really difficult things that may improve the world (subjectively). Why wouldn’t you want to be a fan of the things he is doing?

Can you write a simple script using native messaging to launch the current URL in mpv? The api looks much too complicated for me to figure it out myself.
I have a very similar experience. Switched to using Nightly with DDG, and I'm in IT so I search quite frequently. The browser is super fast, and container tabs are amazing. I'm able to find nearly everything I need, and only use Google as a last resort.

I like being able to contribute to a good project (by using Nightly I believe you submit some telemetry, a small contribution).
Legalizing alcohol after Prohibition greatly reduced the scope of organized crime. Drive by shootings disappeared (only to reappear following the rise of the War on Drugs).

A while back, Canada drastically raised the prices of cigarettes, and drive by shootings started up between the cigarette smugglers. It went away after quickly lowering the price again.

Drive by shootings also appeared during WW2 with gas rationing, and went away when rationing was ended.

Slow/frustrating UIs can be one of the biggest barriers to productivity.

At Monolist (https://monolist.co), we’re building a streamlined task experience that integrates deeply with Jira (and Confluence) Cloud specifically so you don’t have to deal with these painful UIs.
Direct primary care used to be the only model; this in living memory. Insurance started out as disaster only care, and then bureaucratic creep took it from there. Now we have a system where nobody can practically tell you the cost of a service until after you’ve committed to pay for it. Beating a system with that level of information inefficiency by 95% isn’t even surprising.
But that is not what the parent comment to yours was arguing. He wasn't asking for the maximum available penalty, he was just saying that, in essence, justice should be blind, and criminal penalties should not be lessened based on the wealth or power of the convicted.

Using your own example, he was basically saying that if someone with "a tiny startup with $100k" was guilty of the same crime, he should face the same penalties as Musk.
> You can learn that from a book.

And I did read it from a book, when someone from University introduced me to the book and explained it to me in short firstly so I can grasp it more easily on my own.

I'd never pick a book about B trees on my own (booooring, let's learn LatestFramework.js).

My University professors were mostly a complete disaster but at least the materials we had were good enough. Who wanted to learn had access to knowledge, and for motivation -- at least the grades.

I can't see myself on my own even finding a book about theory and then going through it for 4 months, getting into nitty gritty details just for the kick of it.

There's no obvious benefit at the time of learning it. By the time you can see the benefit on your own, it could be too late.
What's preventing me from feeding them garbage? (other then my university affiliation?)
"If an institution has lower number of incidents than population average than it's rather ridiculous to claim that it has an "institutional problem" with those incidents.
And I assure you, HR people in any big corporation would laugh at those numbers."

That might only suggest that other institutions have larger problems.

> When the end of the day approaches, start finishing up whatever you were working on, and mentally prepare for what you'll be doing the next day. Then forget everything until tomorrow morning.

Be prepared to either let go of whatever plans you have made, or to stash them in actionable form in longer-term storage for a rainy day, in the event that you start work the next morning and are thrust into reactive triage mode. It can be immensely frustrating if you are anticipating and have expended mental energy planning tasks A, B and C, and attempt to juggle completing them with surprise Sev 1 priority tasks X, Y and Z.
Can I see a source for the last bit, where police where lining up to use phone decryption tech? I don't doubt it, I just want sources so I can use this that fact in future arguments.
That's cute while it's a small experiment in faraway countries. Now imagine being unable to rent an apartment without running an app that tracks your calls and location 24/7. I don't know what "Chinese" has to do with the absurdity of this Panopticon.
The shares would lose value via dilution or via a new $20 million debt, this is just an easy way to get the cash on hand.
It often frustrates me that this is true at universities that have business schools.

I can take an 8-week summer course on polishing my NSF CAREER proposal - I'd kill to be able to do the same for basic management skills (including hiring).
I don’t think the point of the comment is at all related to what Musk has or has not done, nor his value as CEO. The point was that after a public censure of a CEO and company, the subsequent Chairman would be expected to work towards preventing a similar situation and would have the authority/mandate to do so.

Edit: use Musk’s name.

Exactly the consumption part. Perhaps I don't understand Rust library, and there's another stuff to do it right.

In C# Enumerable.Range and .Select (e.g. .map) internally create an immutable instance, that implements IEnumerable<T>, that describes what will have to be returned.

Then .Min internally takes IEnumerable<T>, calls its .GetEnumerator, that actually returns something, that can be consumed once and has a mutable state, and finds the minimum by actually consuming that iterator (all internally).
Watch how quick those unmetered connections become metered once this takes off :P Companies doing the distribution value control, this would be quite difficult to administer. People put up with flakiness only because they're getting something they shouldn't be, or because it's free anyways. Once people start paying, it becomes a very different set of expectations.

Put on your product hat: as Netflix, you want to control every aspect of the experience to ensure its absolutely seamless. When you outsource distribution to a huge set of third parties that becomes much harder to achieve.

Yeah I don't see the need for a fragmentation, as they abandoned Windows RT. IMO, the Win32 Office apps already are very much touch-friendly.

And hey MS, why your OneNote is going a totally different way alone? MS killed Win32 OneNote in Office 2019. I love Win32 OneNote so much as it has more features and more stable.

They are suspending the UWP versions. But Office is imho already fairly touch friendly if you turn "touch mode" on, in which all buttons, toolbars and menus become a little bigger. It is not that they don't want touch support (they do, thinking of the Surface family), they just don't want to invest in two parallel version of which one is mature and the other will always be lagging behind. And the customer will probably not see the difference, maybe even get confused.
I don't like the way he seems to connect the science to the political spectrum. I think it would be the thinking of the left that we need to improve the environment especially for the disadvantaged (including those disadvantaged for genetic reasons) in order to improve society as a whole. Then he mentions how it was "dangerous" to publish his research, feeding the victim complex of those whose thinking doesn't line up with what he considers to be the left apparantly. Whoever claims that raw, uncivilized human nature bolsters equality can't be thinking straight.

I think it was a good point, that we have come a long way to equalizing the environment and that leaves a big part of the differences to genetics. I would say that is very high praise to the achievements we already made and shows that we are on the right way. I would guess that the same study made in a more unequal society would have different results.

I don't think so.
