I'm rather impressed with Proton.

I was using wine quite obsessively well over a decade ago, wine tricks, fiddling with settings for one game, change them for another. Proton removed all of that for me.

I'm not at the forefront of gaming, though i have a nice card, CPU and a heap of RAM (Perks of the job.

Skyrim is my jam lately, I'm spending an insane amount of time in game at ultra settings. Played some Batman - Arkham Asylum, also a windows game, both run well. I'm happy!
Funnily enough, nobody sues IBM when their product is an obscenely expensive barely functional mount of manure

Even more funny, those who propose the acquisitions of said tools are not held responsible when things go south for their complete inadequacy for their job.
How did you arrive at this number? Based on my calculations, it will take 50 years of saving 20% of take-home into an inflation-offsetting account to be able to retire. It's assumed a house is purchased separately. If the fabled 8% YoY over and above inflation isn't available at retirement, the final amount lasts about ~20 years.
It looks as a circle only from one direction.

I imagine it as a spiral.

Imaginary number adds 2nd dimension, and exponential growth adds 3rd dimension.
Well yeah, because that would be revealing their secrets - if they're using off-the-shelf products then it's too easy. They want to first lock down the patents and rights on this so they can make money off of it.

Which is fair of course, they put the effort in.
This piece is to Debussy what Liebestraume No. 3 is to Franz Liszt: it's simultaneously the cloying, overplayed hit that distracts from the rest of the oeuvre, while also being the masterpiece that serious music people love to pooh-pooh.

I agree with the "painfully beautiful" characterization. I must avert my ears. I'd rather listen to any other Debussy piece – I never tire of Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum for some reason – but only because I can't bear its perfection.
Hey folks, this is my new project. You might possibly remember me from creating Cobbler and Ansible.

The article assumes you know the topology of the secret. This is a completely unrealistic assumption for TOTP.

There's nothing in the article that makes it an actual realistic attack. Also nothing that makes it usable against Google authenticator, which is in the title just to attract clicks.

Waste of 5 minutes and disappointed with upvotes. I rely on HN to send me to quality content. Please don't trick me like that.
On the other hand, cars have been around for quite a long time and a significant amount of licensed drivers have also been unable to learn how to drive without making other people feel uncomfortable. Betting that we could somehow fix these problems by urging people to be courteous when we haven't yet gotten road-users in general to even respect the law seems like a stretch.
This is the story Gab likes to tell, but is anyone actually considering it critically? Twitter is full of out-and-proud white nationalists. Its AUP restricts violent and harassing hate speech, going out of its way to refine the definition to targeted harassment. Richard Spencer has an active Twitter account. For that matter, so does Gab itself, which until recently was also an out-and-proud white nationalist account. Gab has a blue checkmark!

What seems to have happened with Gab is that its founder got kicked out of YC for harassing batch-mates, got some publicity for that, and decided to use it to capitalize on the "alt-right". Is there any indication anywhere that Torba is doing anything more interesting than trying to sell neo-Nazis a monorail?
I can imagine still keeping Windows around for gaming, it really depends on the person but Linux is really becoming a nice alternative.

Myself, I chucked Windows 10 a couple of months ago before the SteamPlay news (which was a really nice cherry on top). But it was easy for me since I'm not quite the gamer anymore that I used to be.
None of those are really credible, and "90% certain" doesn't really fit with the level of knowledge you're describing about the other supposed cases.
Maybe if you count the webapp programmer as the operator. For something like 2FA the end user doesn't pick the secret.
Urban legend.

Windows is already full of version APIs that lie to old programs.

It could also format the name differently. And people like to quote broken java code, but old java would just say "Windows NT (unknown)".

As a technical issue, it was small and easily avoided.

It was a marketing decision.
Where does that mention the 1st Amendment or a guarantee of the 1st Amendment when it doesn't relate to government? It doesn't. When people say "free speech" don't assume they are only talking about the 1st Amendment. Free speech is a civic ideal, not just a government one.

Ya. Unsupported hardware is unsupported. If it doesn't work then it doesn't, but consistently works or doesn't over time. Dual booting is randomly inconsistent. One of the OS's gets an update, or does something to a drive partition, and suddenly all the other OSs on the drive stop working.
There is a very good reason (pressure) these kind of contracts are unenforceable in most of the world. That would work both ways.

The only fully correct term, as used in our laws and in numerous Supreme Court rulings, is "illegal alien". Shortening that to "aliens" causes confusion with legal aliens (people legitimately here with a valid visa, etc.) and of course with fictional creatures from space.

Without the power to permit people to exist within an area or not, one can not have any sort of social aid. Several billion people would show up to claim it.
I am confused. How is "security that does not depend on any 'difficulty' conjectures / information theoretically perfect" not of practical utility?
Have you investigated what was missing to get the game running in Wine? In the case of one of my favorite games (Worms Armageddon), I was able to fix the remaining issues in Wine with a few simple patches (though, to be fair, I was fortunate to have access to the game's source code...)
The minimum allowed (and the common default) is 16 bytes of ASCII text, not 10.
You don't need Proton without Steam (since it has various Steam specific stuff), but yes, you can.

See here for example: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/adamhms_linux_wine_wrapper...

However, you can simply use upstream Wine with add-ons like dxvk[1] (which is used in Proton).

Using esync[2] (also utilized by Proton) requires special branch of Wine, since it's not going to be upstreamed and it's not as simple as installing dll overrides.

IME, the naive solution to hierarchical classification - building a classifier for each level of the hierarchy - gets me to ~85% accuracy, compared to ~75% accuracy using a "global" classifier.
This still sounds to me like it might be a process issue around code review rather than code review actually being the problem. What else would you be doing on the same problem post-PR if you didn’t have to wait for code review?
this is all true, but there's also so much good stuff. babies & bathwater & all that.
I used to live in the country, and had to re-assess my assumptions when we had a several day power outage due to a blizzard. We had propane at the old farmhouse, but with no power to run the furnace/blower, I could only run the range (and a small portable propane heater with some spare tanks). There was no power for the well either. After that, every time the power would go out, Wife or I would immediately fill up the bathtub with all the water that was in the pressure tanks. We looked into solar, but the power spikes needed to start a well pump (or furnace fan) can be pretty high, and need quite a bit of amperage to get going.
The paper says:
Metformin, Psora-4, Rapamycin, Rifampicin, and Allantoin.

I don't recommend humans just take this cocktail. I imagine the paper combinatorially tried a ton of different chemicals and this set happened to work well.

In humans: Metfomrin has been used on human studies of life extension. Rapamycin is an immunosupressant in humans. Rifamycin is an antibiotic. Allantoin and Psora-4 are not recognized by the FDA as common human medications.

Seems like a common thread for the human-medication subset is anti-inflammation.
They don't have that info the day of a plane crash -- it requires the airline to release the list of victims, and then the families to release any photos on request, which is what you sometimes see several days later when a news org takes the time to collect the photos and stories. But that doesn't happen with all mass casualty incidents. Not just because it's resource-intensive, but because the news cycle moves so fast. We've just learned the names/ages of the 11 killed in the Pittsburgh shooting. How many people remember any of the names of the people who died 3 weeks ago in what was the U.S. worst transportation accident in a decade?

Same-day and day-after coverage is typically when most people are most focused on any given tragedy, and images are often what stays in people's memories. A photo of disaster workers picking up pieces of metal doesn't convey much of the human tragedy at all.
So yeah, with respect to your distinction of "ML research" and "applied ML". "NO."

Interesting. I don't see anything in the story above that supports that position. There's nothing about the scenario you described that would be affected by having, or not having, a Phd in CS. If anything, as somebody else pointed out, this is more of question of philosophy or ethics.

It's also a pretty niche example, which is not representative of the kinds of things that ML can be used for. If you want somebody who work on pricing optimization or a recommender system for your e-commerce site, you really don't need somebody who's doing cutting edge ML research.
I'll grant you that the media representations are bad. I've never met a real live prepper, only ever seen them on TV, and I guess the ones they interview on TV are the ones who make the best TV.

You're right the basics are boring, but it's the basics you'll spend 24/7 trying to obtain long after your weapons and ammo have gone rusty. And if you think you'll be making your own ammo, I'd say no-one at all will have the luxury of that kind of engineering time when they're trying to get the ground to grow enough food to eat.
I know some of these words.
I think the EU understands perfectly fine. It is the Internet that doesn't understand how copyright works. Most countries don't have comprehensive fair use. Copyright rules and e.g. quotation rights are fairly 'weak' exceptions. Various people and organization, like Lawrence Lessig and the Pirate Party, have advocated for reform. Companies like Google and Facebook have instead basically made it their business to abuse copyright, which especially online most people seem happy with. Unfortunately reality tends to catch up with you and 2018 is turning out to be the year when grace period on how to operate the Internet is running out.
I've only worked at one large company (EA), but they were ok with side businesses as long as it wasn't competing with their core business of gaming. IIRC you could even promote it internally. This was about 9 years ago.

For game related things you could list them as existing inventions when joining. So you can carve out exceptions. Which is common with game companies.
The npm project moved their issues from github [1] to discourse [2]. I briefly tried to find my open issue [3] in the new discourse search and couldn't. That is one way to garden.

That's certainly annoying, but please don't start a new thread with a shallow dismissal. It leads to lousy discussion, and this article has a lot more interesting stuff in it than that.

The guideline that asks "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize" applies to articles as well.

It's not particularly complicated, just extremely fragile.

Only the Legacy VirtualBox paravirtualisation interface provides all of the BIOS interrupts and glue code that the Windows 98 installer requires. The Sound Blaster 16 audio card will work out of the box in Windows 98, but VirtualBox itself has trouble copying the virtual audio out onto the host, playing only 3 seconds of the audio at a time and skipping a little; eventually it crashes. So, use the ICH AC97 audio card instead, but then you need to find drivers for it.

As for the VGA adapter, that used to work out of the box (once you installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions), but the additions' support for Windows 98 was dropped a long time ago, so that's no longer an option either.

Put simply, you need the Legacy interface to run the installer, SciTech Display Doctor for the VGA card (which is now free), and Realtek AC97 Win9x audio drivers (which you can find very easily).

Then it all just works... for now.
What drugs specifically are in the "cocktail"?

I could not access the paywalled paper. Gratefully fanzhang answered my question below:

fanzhang:>The paper says: Metformin, Psora-4, Rapamycin, Rifampicin, and Allantoin.

Here's a 2017 article w/o paywall which identified the five drugs above and also the best combinations (for worms) at that time:

"Rapamycin,rifampicin, Psora-4 cocktail doubles lifespan":

https://alivebynature.com/rapamycinrifampicin-psora-4-cockta...

The article states that the most successful one(at that time) was rapamycin + rifampicin + allantoin, resulting in a doubling of mean lifespan.
Sure? The article addresses this: the RFC says it's the minimum, but apparently most clients will allow less, and sometimes (allegedly) servers produce less. I'm not sure I understand your comment: it's still responsive to GP's question.
Since there have been large crackdowns on these sites, violence and seething has ticked up across the globe, and the "far right" has taken control of more governments (and I'm not talking about Trump, I'm talking about Europe/South America where there are open threats of violence and anti-Semitism.) I am just saying that perhaps driving these people underground where they can't be monitored is not the best approach.

I would argue that it is possible that cracking down on public platforms them gives them a platform in and of itself that once did not exist. It's similar to a Streisand effect. People become even -more- radicalized because they feel "oppressed." It sort of reminds me of how the ATF raid on Waco unwittingly played into their cult's idea of the apocalypse and has since bred people like McVeigh.

THAT is the slippery slope.
How Fred Perry Polos Came to Symbolize Hate
The French monarchy had to be dragged into the war, it was public opinion that, swayed by public campaigns from leading American figures, pushed for intervention: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_in_the_American_Revolut...

Much of that same public opinion would then go on to power the French revolution a few years later. Lafayette famously wrote the "Déclaration des droits de l'homme" with Thomas Jefferson's help. Both revolutions had common ideological grounds - Enlightenment and democracy.
Where does that say it isn't true?

I'm glad to see this post, and I'm glad front-end developers are starting to rebel against the nuttiness of what has happened in their corner of the web.

I declared myself out a while ago. It took some digging in of the heels and a bit of a short term career hit, but I no longer do much web development. I do data work, I guess they call it "data engineering" now, lots of pipeline stuff. My background was in math and operations research, and I do calculation as well as data pipelines, so it works out nicely. I really had to start refusing to do javascript, though.

I'd still do full stack (which means I handle simple frontend stuff but pass it onto someone more talented if it needs to be more elaborate) if we used Rails or something like it. That, I don't mind, and if I had to do it all myself due to it being a personal project, I'd happily keep things relatively simple in rails. If I needed something more specialized for data analysis, I'd probably write it as a service in python.

Til then, I love that ostensibly Polish expression "Not my circus, not my monkey". Front end developers are going through framework churn unseen since the MVC days of 2005. You do what you do, folks, have at it, knock yourselves out.

One thing, though - no, I'm not going to start writing data analysis code in Javascript so we can keep things consistent with the front end.
Torba saying that Nazi Twitter existed to protect free speech sounds remarkably like confederates saying the Civil War was about states' rights. In a very broad sense true, but dodging the question of what those rights were being used _for_. Sadly for Torba, he can't force people to take his nazi money if they don't want to.
WoW seems like a terrible example for this, in light of their announcement of WoW Classic remastered. A remaster is a pretty solid way of saying "we haven't abandoned the game".

There's thousands of abandoned MMORPGs and you pick the one that's getting remastered? :)

Honestly my post was mostly a joke, but I don't think mandating a rationale is a good idea, and I give a rationale for ~85% of my downvotes. Probably a third of those don't deserve rationale--I'm responding to someone who is pretty overtly trolling or otherwise trying to incent a flamewar. Beyond that, I will occassionally not leave an explanation because

1. I don't have time to type out an appropriately nuanced comment, and an un-nuanced comment is hardly better qualified than a driveby downvote.

2. No matter the quality of my explanatory comment, it will only be a target for partisan downvoters. I don't care much for my karma, but I do care for my time and I don't want to waste it so trolls can give my view an air of illegitimacy.

Besides, while it is annoying to be downvoted anonymously, no one owes me an explanation. It's a courtesy at best, and any attempt to regulate it will be defeated by insincere feedback.
I downvoted you because linking and showing a few sentences does not mean a company's business is to "abuse copyright."
I guess one should reserve whatever connotation that comes with the word "prepper" until after hearing about the event for which this person is preparing. Preparing for many natural disasters (earthquake, tornado, hurricane) is very sensible for people who live in said areas. Some man made situations (infrastructure failures, fires, etc.) as well.

I don't know if it's a case of euphemism treadmill. The older term, "survivalist" doesn't seem to have the same negative connotation (but does have the different connotation of focusing more on survival in nature rather than survivng disasters in society).

Ask HN: I'm creating a startup financing directory, looking for suggestions
I thought it would be good to build a simple and useful site that can help founders find the right resources to fund their startup. Hopefully FundingLinx.com will become one of the first sites you look at when you are trying to find startup funding, but I'm looking to add new resources, and therefore I thought HN must be the ideal place to ask :)

Any suggestions are welcome! Anything startup grant, government loan, accelerator or incubator related.

It's reaching the level for me where I am sitting at my desk right now, I am supposed to be writing code for a huge corporation, and I'm just thinking to myself - what's the point? The world is literally going down the drain and there's few hundred people around me producing entertainment content - it almost feels like a joke, like we should stand up and walk out. I feel like few years ago maybe it wasn't great, but at least it felt like it was getting better, slowly. Now it's the exact opposite - I wouldn't be surprised if all of this lead to another world war, or a huge genocide against a minority somewhere.

Anyone has any ideas on how to deal with how depressing the world is around us? And then - how do we help(without getting killed/landing in jail)?
