I've actually had success with simply emailing a company stating the issue and politely stating my frustrations with their phone menu. Always be polite with CSRs obviously as a decent human being.

On a side note I wish the phrase "our menu options have recently changed" would go away. no they haven't, and no there is not a higher than normal call volume.

Just firing off an email is worth attempting, one time I actually used the phrase "give me a holler" and got a call back the next morning. The problem was immediately taken care of.

Button mashing used to work but now the systems aggressively hang up on you. And I have no idea why I am prompted to enter account details just to be asked for the same info, apparently the systems are capable of playing ads every 15 seconds, but can't transfer info.
We went through this in the early days of movie theaters. Laws were passed forcing separation as you are mentioning. Its a shame we to revisit this over and over again each time technology changes slightly.
> Getting that for everybody would pretty much require paving America with supermarkets.

Have you considered that other countries exist, do not look like American suburbs, but also do not consist of 100% end-to-end supermarkets with the odd park or hospital thrown in?
It is the easiest way to share your crypto wallet address with your near and dear ones for accepting crypto payments, and it also comes with lots of features like cash back for every payment received and many more.
Chrome supports U2F and that is basically a client cert based ID. But yes, the browser should be able to manage identities on a per domain basis.

Ask HN: How do you onboard remote employees?
I'm starting to think about future recruitment for my (still small) company, as well as possible future product ideas.

For those of you who are 100% remote, I'd be interested to hear what your onboarding process looks like.

I'm aware of platforms like CodePair / etc for the recruitment process, but I'm more interested in hearing about best practice for signing up a a new employee (i.e. offer/contract/pension/payroll/etc), onboarding (creating e-mail/accounts/keys/etc) then getting them performing at 100% as quickly as possible (getting familiar with features/codebase/customers/etc).

So far I've done most of this all manually, which is fine when someone is sitting next to me (though sub-optimal). I don't think that's going to fly for a remote employee.

Why, given that these are, in the context of a strict mostly-functional language, basically an unnecessary function wrapping. ;)
There's nothing about <keygen> specifically that requires a central signing authority. You could just as well generate a public/private pair, feed the website your public key, and sign challenges with the privkey to log in.
Nationalism is a glorified tribalism which causes war, death by the millions but in return provides a mechanism of competition which improves/pushes human race forward. What a monstrous dichotomy!

TPA3116 can do about double the power of the TA2024 in the TP31 at about the same distortion.

The TPA3250 from the article, and the TPA3251/TPA3255 that have higher power from the same range are in a different class to those IMO, with much less distortion, and are just ridiculous value for money.
That shouldn't be super hard. I don't think there is much assembly in either. And C can be compiled to RISC-V already.

My only experience porting node was to a specialized ARM system a while ago, so ARM support may have been already built in or things may have changed.

edit: as people have commented, there indeed is a fair amount of arch specific stuff for reference the mips directory https://github.com/v8/v8/tree/master/src/mips64
What I think would be ideal is that for a visible stretch of road in the middle of it there should be the street name. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it not and I haven't found any logical reason why it appears and goes (in my to be fair limited use).
I am not sure why people hate the US so much. Almost always, we never hear something positive about the US despite of the evidence. Is it fancy to hate the US these days?
I wish our HashiConf videos were up but they won't be up for another week or so. But the major theme for our Terraform announcements was "listening & reacting." We've been spending a lot of time with users/customers and listening to their feedback and we wanted to show that we're committed to that. Without going into the whole thing, a couple highlights are Terraform 0.12 and our commitment to collaboration for everyone. Both linked below. Hopefully these help a lot but we're definitely trying to make it easier to use across the board!

Terraform 0.12: https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/terraform-0-1-2-preview It is in alpha right now (we've shipped 2 alpha releases over 2 weeks) and we're burning down bugs to get that out as quickly as possible.

To most of my family in the Philippines, from children to elders, they only started using the internet heavily when Facebook was available (cell phones and decent data coverage were big enablers of that though).

Facebook provides clear utility to a society that has had no decent online method of replicating their group/communal way of sharing experiences before. Do they _need_ to share their experiences or communicate through Facebook? No, but it’s an obvious extension of what they’ve already been doing.

FWIW the issues I see with Facebook here in the west—fake news and divisive nonsense specifically—are exacerbated there, so definitely a double-edged sword.
The thing that's important when running a business is making money. Having happy repeat customers is one way to do this, but there are many others. Having unhappy customers and crushing the competition is another. Having a steady stream of new customers is another (see also, MLM schemes). Selling a product where customers cannot meaningfully evaluate quality is another (see also, Facebook video marketing).

If you don't like it, help the rest of us figure out a sustainable alternative to capitalism.

As someone who basically feels that they "get" Alan Kay(although some talks have repeated content admittedly) this sounds like the response I'd give. He isn't in the business of peddling specific answers, but in encouraging Socratic questioning, and that leads to a pattern of thinking that avoids honing on a linear resolution process of slot A- goes-in-tab B. (Bret Victor goes much closer to doing this with the gee-whiz flashiness and gives off a kind of regurgitated-Engelbartisms vibe in the process, which is why I don't find him very exciting)

Hi, would you share a benchmark for your database? Doing billion taxi benchmark is an option I think. Kdb's billion taxi benchmark[1] says that Kdb is the fastest among the databases that only work with cpu. You could also talk about Mark Litwintschik.

The other fun bit is the “encryption” of web sockets (outside of tls, etc).

Basically (hand waving here) a websocket connection starts with a 64 bit (or 128, I really can’t remember anymore) value, and then essentially just xors that over all subsequent data.

This isn’t needed for security of the user or the server. It’s because so many middleware boxes are so poorly build that you could make them crash and/or get code execution if you had sufficient control over enough of the right payload bytes. Java applets exposed the exact same problem, so given they existed a decade before websockets and yet the middleware boxes were still broken enough that this nonsense was required in the websocket spec should tell you everything you need to know.
The balance they are striking is that they are collecting trip information, but anonymizing it by only sending segments of a given trip and not the whole thing (as well as by not associating trip data with the user).
Congrats on the round and this weekend. :)

We're going to be getting deep into multi-cloud (via acquisition), so your thesis on the topic was interesting to read.

I remember reading that original post all those years back and have built with all of your tools, so it'll be a thrill to dig into using Hashicorp as we do this. :)

Okay, you're merely arguing semantics with me on evolution. You can call it adaptation or a catalyst for evolution, whatever word you want, but it's still evolution. When applying the theory of evolution to humans, you can't use such a simple definition because we have technology. Additionally, our minds are powerful enough to decide to do things that will cause physiological changes beyond those that one might say would have been caused by natural selection. And how do our minds evolve? Thought, experience, brain processes that we have yet to understand fully which are also directly linked/affected with the rest of our bodies. The evolution of our collective consciousness and knowledge base is the where the real evolution is occurring.

Honestly have no idea what you're saying about teeth anymore, your whole point was that our teeth prove we are meant to have omnivorous diets, which I was arguing against because our teeth are relics just like our nails, they do not matter anymore, so I still don't know how your point stands. They are merely links to our past evolution and what we used to eat 100's of thousands of years ago, long before we discovered cooking which some have linked to a spike in our evolution to our current status.

You literally said "Coincidentally, vegetarians have a higher rate of cavities than the population at large." Cavities are tooth decay btw...not sure why you think they are two different things.

Sorry, but they really don't, and the study you're pushing trying to claim that shit was done on isolated indigenous populations which has nothing to do with vegetarians in the rest of the world who are able to get K2 from plenty of non meat foods like cheese or eggs. More than likely, those isolated tribes are vegan more-so than vegetarian without access to milk-based products or soy beans. Also you get K2 from your gut as well.

One of my buddies took about a business credit card with great airline miles features before entering college. He had the money to pay for college due to his employment during school, so he paid for tuition, rent, etc all with the card and paid it off at the end of every month and racked up a hell of a lot of airline miles. He took many, many trips to Asia (from California) on the miles he got. I kinda wish I did the same...
The one good thing Trump is doing is ranging economic war against China. Better this than true military war.

The problem is, is it too late? - if it is, we should worry about the future of a free man kind. China I believe is in fact worse than any of Orwells imaginations because their technology is far superior.
Absolutely, yes. I refuse 1) because loyalty programs are generally designed to increase income rather than save customers money, and 2) I loathe the way the airline programs play to snobbery.

I tend toward cattle class seats to avoid being on the wrong side of the class system, even though my knees complain.

V8 has a JIT, which is always going to require work to port to a new architecture. But the new-ish TurboFan backend is supposed to have the architecture-dependent parts relatively well factored out[1], so it's not as hard as it might be.

There are so many other ways to present what you are presenting that writing the idea off seems silly. With some tweaking I think that idea could work -- if the text were in a faint gray, for example, so that it wasn't so contrasting. Probably want to do away with the bright red dots, too. Subtlety...

v8 is a JIT compiler. It emits instructions for specific architectures. So even if it's not written in assembly, it has some very architecture specific parts in it.

I order from Ubereats constantly – at least once a day, sometimes two or even three – and this is my number one issue.

For some reason Uber thinks it's appropriate to assign multiple deliveries to a single driver even when those deliveries are in the complete opposite direction to one another. Doesn't make any sense at all.

Thanks for your input, wingerlang! I completely agree, these kind of shirts do exist and there's definitely a market for them. But Wikishirts literally offers 5.7 million unique shirts, an unmatched degree of specialization that, I think, makes the shirt very personal.
Affordable RISC-V systems will only happen if they reach a comparable level of mass production as proprietary systems. What you will more likely see for now is a gradual increase in the number of components on GPUs, HDDs etc which use RISC-V instead of ARM or something else. The ISA is only a part of the cost equation.

If you have a natural way to charge money, I would be surprised to see ads work better than that. IAP may work even better though, but I can see how that might be more work to add than you'd be willing to put in if it isn't making much money anymore.

What I'd be most curious about is why were people discovering your app before, why did that change?
In the spring maybe. For much of the year it's brown because it's desert, nonnative grassland, or city. Big chunks are forest, especially in the north, but brown is still dominant.

History proves otherwise. Technology crammed people into cities, which was terrible until it allowed us to create better infrastructure to cope with the density. Technology made London air unbreathable until it gave rise to cleaner sources of energy which we could place further away from people. Technology often times makes things worse, and then helps us fix the problems that arise. And the net result is longer, healthier lives for the vast majority of people on the planet. So I say "keep going"!
That's not only about Middleboxes (which mostly act up to L4). Most likely it's more about preventing JS from attacking arbitrary servers (e.g. broken mail servers, file servers, etc) that might have an open TCP port. The "encryption" at least prevents JS attacks from being deterministic.
To circle back on this, I found that I have a bit of bad interaction between some overrides of the CSS I did and the "htmlization" of my buffers to make the output.

Regardless, did a quick rerun with a theme that should have been a bit more compatible. Will have to see about fully fixing up the general export some time. Again, thanks for the feedback!

Good question. Ultimately, in fMRI we are looking for changes in the local ratio of oxygenated to deoxygenated blood. As neurons begin firing in a brain region more oxygen-rich blood is dumped in by the circulatory system. If the salmon really was responding to the pictures there would need to be blood flow for these changes to be detectable using fMRI. Since the salmon had been prepared by the supermarket there was nothing to circulate blood around.

Twitter’s Problem Isn’t the Like Button
This is a pretty amateurish site. The Contacts link just gives a 500 error, and the Careers link, once you actually find it, gives you all the careers in random order rather than automatically sorting by city or even country.
The aggregation system you’re using is pretty good, but it still sometimes misses and groups stories together that are not related.

For myself, I’d actually like to see the ability to customize the news sources — maybe bring in some sources you’re not already using, and leave out some that you are. I like the way that partial.press does this, at least for the news sources they do use.

TrustED – Blockchain-Based Project Will Ease the Credential Verification
TrustED is revolutionizing the academic credential verification process by leveraging blockchain technology. The scalable blockchain-based platform is putting the trust back into education and recruitment by enabling educational institutions to both store and authenticate grades, credentials, or certificates for employers.

TrustED is built on the premise that both students and employers deserve better in a digital age. With TrustED, students, educational and training can upload their accreditation to the platform themselves and get verified to help employers migrate away from the lengthy, expensive and manual verification processes. By leveraging blockchain technology TrustED offers the ability verify academic credentials secure and instantly. The platform open beta starts November 15th and full-scale release planned for Q3 2019.

The credentials issued by verified institutions will be cryptographically secured and stored on TrustED’s distributed network. Additionally, credential holders will also be allowed to upload their credentials to the platform, but these credentials will remain unverified until validated by the respective credential issuer. Credential holders and graduates will be able to create an account on the platform and have access to their verified credentials at all times, while having complete control over the distribution of these credentials within the system. Those looking to verify credentials of an individual can do so in a matter of minutes by creating an account on the platform and requesting the same on the platform. The verification process on TrustED will initially remain free, however, will change to a payment model once the mainnet launches as per the current roadmap.
Sure, but brown areas on the map marks different types of areas, so they obviously can't use brown. Imagine how much of the world would look in the winter, it would just be a completely white map.
