I actually bought a license a lot of years ago because I had been using it for many more years already, always clicking that nag screen away, and some day I realized that I would be totally hosed on Windows if there was no WinRAR because it really is the only compression tool that packs good format support with a bearable user interface.

7-zip is okay on the format side since they added some of the newer high-efficiency compression algos, but the UI still sucks compared to WinRAR.

Another reason has to do with memory access and cache invalidation, when working with sparse matrices the entire graph structure is laid out in a contiguous block of memory which is ideal for CPU caching, unlike adjacency list where you have lots for small allocations scattered all over the memory space, this makes a huge difference when traversing the graph.

Not in the EU if you have to buy something expensive with tax money. Because the Public Procurement directive says you

* are required to hold a public tender

* Before you start, you create a list of criteria, with a weight for each of them.

* 50% of the weight goes to price.

* Once the process starts, common sense is treated as being bribed.

Turns out it is very easy to be 50% cheaper than anybody else if you are not required to have a working product.
I hope you don’t mind, but praying for you and your treatment going forward.
Personally, I start with ensuring I know the correct "(product name)" I want. I start with going to Wirecutter if they do reviews of a given category of products, or otherwise trawl through domain-specific subreddits.

My understanding are as the follows.

If you have a hardware wallet.
You will pass the intent message (sending money, swap, etc) to Trezor. Trezor holds your private key. Signs the message with your private key.
Hands the payload back to the client to be broadcasted to the network.
This way your private key stays in the hardware wallet, and protected from a compromised computer.

If you use metamask instead. The private key here resides in the browser or your computer rather.
I am unsure exactly where the signing happens but it will have to happen within the domain of your computer (at metamask or js) because that is where the key is. Gets back payload to be broadcasted.

Copy pasting private key (totally not recommended) is for cases where say you dont have a metamask or a hardware wallet. The signing is done probably using the js library included by the widget to obtain payload for broadcast.

Nothing should be passed on to a server.
Only the signed message needs broadcasting into the ethereum network for the transaction to be included into a block.

Hey Larry $$
It's scattered. Recently ~6 month old Velvia and Provia were selling for half price at one of the big NY retail outlets. Film Photography Project frequently has stuff thats expired. eBay has a lot, but it sells for way too much.

The death of film (and Kodak) is oversold though. There is still quite a variety available new, and Kodak Alaris still makes a bunch of their classics including TriX and TMAX100 and 400. TMAX P3200 and Ektachrome was just rereleased. Ilford has a lot of B&W films, Maco is manufacturing Rollei, Agfa, and other films. Foma, Adox are still making great films. Fuji has, sadly been scaling back, but they still make slide film and color negative film (and lots of instant film.)

Very few film cameras are made, mostly because there is a glut of used cameras that can be bought cheap, few manufacturers could compete (and volume would be very low.)

My hope is that at least for the foreseeable future, the film market has stabilized into something sustainable, since I love the film process and that's all I shoot.

Ask HN: Issues between the founding team, technical co-founder wants to leave
So I handle business, I have technical and a designer co-founder. We are a design and tech servicing agency. We have been operational since almost a year and have bootstrapped close to 20 lacs till now. There have been massive issues between the team with the technical co-founder growing increasingly frustrated by the team members and also the servicing model. He is more interested in building products and considers himself way smarter than me and the designer ( which he probably is). It has reached a point of no-repair according to me with losing trust in the team members and working on other personal stuff besides the agency.

How do you approach this kind of a scenario? Do you pay him off and let him go? As a company, we are massively dependent on him because of the service and some clients have come because of him and not the agency. We stand to lose a good amount of business. Secondly, the company is registered in his name because of some legal issues. What are the options other than letting him go?

I don't think reconciliation is an option because it really looks like a point of no repair. No trust, Always questioning the other co-founders, having a feeling that I am not good for anything at my job, personal priorities have shifted. It ends up being days where we just work and not talk the entire day. Extremely toxic environment.

> But the relevant part of that dynamic is that the price increases. The problem isn't that oil becomes unavailable, it's that your consumers have to pay more for it and the money goes to other countries you don't really want to enrich.

Perhaps. But I remember there being very high oil prices (way over $100 per barrel) not that long ago. And there were actually less sanctions on oil countries during the time of such high oil prices.

So I'd question whether the market price discovery works for oil prices very well. It could as well be manipulated by OPEC cartel. I have read articles about Saudis lowering oil price by increasing output because they wanted to put pressure on US shale oil companies to put them out of business.

Oil price has been slowly creeping up again so perhaps the cartel has decided to increase the price.

I am a seller and have to scan daily for competitors pulling this trick. From communication with seller support, it appears that Amazon is on the way to stop reviews from one variation to propagate to all product in the "family" as a way to stop it, but when it happens - who knows. More pressure from both sellers and customers should push Amazon towards it.
The author describes what he purports to be a simple, universal language for literally all content. Everything, he says, can be described and explained in terms of "role, states, attributes, relations, and actions."

> Does your web app use chemistry ring formulas or math equations or anything else from any other subject you can think of? So, you can definitely describe all those symbols and formulas to your friend, so your friend can understand those, right? Thus, you should be able to express those in accessibility concepts as well. You may want to practice on your own to see how it goes.

But why those five concepts in particular? Philosophers have been attempting to identify a set of universal groups for human concepts since the ancient Greeks, (it's called "ontology") and I see no reason to think that the author happens to have solved this problem.

For example, what's the difference between a state and an attribute? Is an action a relation between the subject and its object? If an object can change roles, is that a state change? Or is it a change in the relation of the object to its role? Is a role change just an action?

All of the author's proposed accessibility concepts mush together when you think about them critically.

In contrast, WAI-ARIA, taking the problem of taxonomy seriously, did not attempt to define five core accessibility concepts and apply them to all of human experience. They have a zillion different roles, developed more or less organically, to address specific UI use cases.

ARIA's complexity isn't just an unfortunate fact of history; this is literally the best that humanity can do. We can't simplify the world into five kinds of concepts, and it's not worth trying.
Although he was never tried, the sheer number of witnesses detailing his systematic rape of young girls, murder of opponents and starvation of civilians for example, lends a lot of credibility to him being very much tyrannical.

A few summaries:

"Victims and witnesses state in the documentary that Gadhafi would choose his targets on visits to schools or colleges, patting on the head those who caught his eye.

His security officials would then take the victim to one of several specially designed suites of rooms, where they would be abused and raped by the dictator. In one such suite at Tripoli University, there is a fully-equipped gynecological examination room, where victims were tested for sexually transmitted diseases before being sexually abused.

"Some were only 14," recalled one teacher at a Tripoli school. "They would simply take the girl they wanted. They had no conscience, no morals, not an iota of mercy, even though she was a mere child."

Some of the girls were held for years, while others were dumped with appalling injuries."

"The women would first be raped by the dictator then passed on, like used objects, to one of his sons and eventually to high-ranking officials for more abuse," said Benghazi-based psychologist Seham Sergewa, who interviewed victims for the International Criminal Court.

"Gaddafi had a harem of women kept in the basement of his residence, in little rooms or apartments. These women, obligated to appear before him in their underwear, could be called at any time of day or night. They were raped, beaten, subjected to the worst kinds of sexual humiliation. For Gaddafi, rape was a weapon … a way of dominating others -- women, obviously, because it was easy, but also men, by possessing their wives and daughters."

Yes but it is continuation of a long trend that goes back decades and many presidencies. The Obama and Iran deal was a deviation from standard US policy of "Iran bad, Saudis good". So I'm just saying Trump has basically returned to normal US policy on this front, it's not some extreme change of direction.
As a result I never trust five star reviews. I only trusts reviews that has some critism.

What other vulnerabilities did this backwards-incompatible Apache change cause? Probably many people rely on .htaccess, for example to disable access to non-public files or disable php execution on a DIY CMS file sharing area.

Sounds like the risk from this is not widely known. Probably the correct solution for Apache would have been to detect presence of now-ignored .htaccess files and signal an error.

Dual numbers are magic. They are somewhat obscure but very powerful e.g for reasoning about dynamically evolving systems. They are like complex numbers but instead of i^2=-1 you have epsilon such that epsilon^=0. Shit gets real from then on.

Dual number functions give you the value at the function as well as the derivative at that point. Very cool.

The decision was made years ago.

Back then, if you wanted to use a stable ZFS in production, OpenSolaris derivatives (Illumos, SmartOS, OmniOS) seemed the best choice. And amongst these choices, SmartOS, which basically is a sort of Hypervisor (it just boots into a simple, bare OS from USB stick, then you provision your virtual hosts), was the most matching for a server task. That was even before OmniOS existed.

Also, back then, there were no containers, or they were just in their early phase. Solaris had "Zones". Since this is a home-server, I wanted to run different virtual servers on one machine in my living room. Perfect match.

And while Linux has caught up in many regards, I still find it attractive, that so many features are part of the original design, rather than stuff put on top of it, aftermarket. It's just a much more cleaner experience.

I'm not going to make a snap judgment based on one article but his last line:

>Prudential could be forced to start liquidating its assets at fire-sale prices, which could set off a chain reaction in the rest of the financial markets and even the economy as a whole.

Makes me question that. He gets through all of his scenario without once mentioning the Orderly Liquidation Authority, which despite the Dodd-Frank rollback is still in the toolbox, and is this is basically exactly what it was made for. So to be blunt, imo best case he's made a critical error of omission, unintentional or otherwise.

And this is not to say it's a sure thing. It's the government. It would be far from perfect, it would be far from clean, but most everyone involved is on the same page in terms of what we don't want happening, which is more than I can say about most things.

Of all the things that the crisis taught us and we have in fact learned from, is that failure of a large financial institution is terrible; an uncontrolled liquidation of a failed financial institution is way worse.

SVPT – Next Generation devices for biofeedback in PT(Article 2 in series)
What? The first article is literally titled "Is Criticism Of Billionaire Elizabeth Holmes Sexist? Yes & No", implying at the least that some criticism is sexist.

The next article:

> While Holmes doesn’t go so far as to label it sexism, her message is clear: The story would have played out differently if she were a man.

The next article:

> "Elizabeth Holmes is a great example of maybe why the women are so frustrated. She is a woman entrepreneur who built a fabulous company, did great things for consumers and she got attacked,"

Every linked article says or implies that Holmes wouldn't have been criticised as harshly if she were a man. Which is pure whataboutism, especially given her fraud risked lived by being pushed into clinical settings when the she and the company knew that their claims were bunk.

Hello HN!

This is the 2nd article in series discussing our companion device platform for physical therapists. Please take a look and let us know what you think!
The article mentions it, but this is very similar to the setup in the Honda Accord Hybrids. Many spec sheets list them as "CVT" or "e-CVT" but those are all wrong -- there's no normal or CVT transmission at all. Instead the car is motivated by an electric motor that can close a clutch plate (in the Koenigsegg it's a hydraulic system probably to handle the greater HP and torque) and engage the ICE engine. When the ICE isn't being used to help out the electric motor it runs basically whenever it wants to and charges the batteries.

MacOS works very well. And if you don’t like Apple hardware, so do many Linux distributions (Ubuntu is very popular and easy to get support for), and even FreeBSD and OpenBSD if you are willing to put in more time.

Most people are better served by NOT windows. Using Win10 without a specific program that isn’t available for macOS/Linux is bordering on masochism.

Yah, that's the error I ran into. Creating function wrappers to send messages works well for client api's. However, it doesn't help verify that you've implemented the `handle_cast` properly or dealing with messages from other places. Normally it's not to big of an issue.
Swift for Tensorflow adds language-level support for Tensorflow to Swift. It does start in the fork, but the ultimate goal is for all changes to be merged upstream.

> The event did occur. I saw the source with my own eyes.

You didn't say so, and, even now, you're only implicitly saying there was a GPL violation. The details are important, in order to further understanding.

> The point that you keep on ignoring is that the OP said "companies have to contribute back".

I'm pretty sure I'm not ignoring it, because it didn't happen. That's likely the source of my confusion. You've certainly said so repeatedly, but I'm missing where anyone else in the conversation has said so (hence my thinking it's a strawman).

> One of my points is that they don't even do it though they legally should.

This does sound like you are, again, saying there are circumstances where contributing "back" is legally required, which is the assertion that prompted my own original response. I don't believe those circumstances ever exist. The only obligation is providing (contributing) source code forward. Only when "forward" is the public at large does that end up being, as a side effect, "back".

> The point is that people will abuse goodwill and pretending that it doesn't happen is naive.

I doubt anyone here is actually naive enough to believe it never happens, but there may be a belief that it's rare or exceptional. Without large-sample-size evidence, this can be short-circuited to the usual cynicism vs. "people are basically good" argument.
Capterra Review: Make $200 Monthly from Capterra

There are several Sears kit homes near me. They succeeded because they offered value. I don't know about the coasts but the homes were very popular in the Midwest.

So popular that close to eighty years after they were last available it is very common to mention a property is a Sears home in real estate ads.

Amazon may have sped up their demise but Sears lost track of offering their customers value decades ago.

The principle I am arguing for is that people should be able to do whatever they want with property that they own.

Apple is different in this respect in that if you try to do something with the phone that you bought, whether it be repairing it against their wishes, jailbreaking it, or whatever, they'll sue you.

These matters have come up multiple times in the courts, and this is what Apple does.

The only reason why they aren't sueing customers today for jailbreaking is because they lost that court battle. But the intention is there.

I don't want them to have the ability to sue anyone ever for doing something to property that the customer already owns, because that's how property rights should work.

Other companies generally do not sue you for modifying hardware that you bought.
