Bookmarks into a string are one such example of the need for this. No need to O(n) iterate over the string again when the bookmarking logic has already done so.

Computed indicies into strings are a no-go but that is far from the only use case.

> is it okay for doctors to lie about placebo treatments if it actually helps?

Well, if it actually helps, is it a lie? A placebo is something intended to have no therapeutic value, generally for the purpose of testing another treatment. Arguably if you intend something to be the treatment then it isn't a placebo. :)
I didn't vote on your comment, but would opine that it fit the downvote-attracting heuristic of "how freaking stupid we are" + pseudo-thoughtful symbolic algebra + inchoate nerdrage.
> Weary of long days earning minimum wage, he quit his job in a pizzeria in June. He wants new employment but won’t take a gig he’ll hate. So for now, the Pittsburgh native and father to young children is living with his mother and training to become an emergency medical technician, hoping to get on the ladder toward a better life.

Perplexing? The opening of this article gives a pretty straightforward answer: people in that demographic aren't buying the narrative that a minimum-wage job will necessarily come with growth opportunities. So instead of getting pigeon-holed, they are trying to jump into a career with better growth opportunities. Sometimes that requires leaving immediate money on the table.
I doubt the "MacBook Escape" (13" non-touchbar) will be revved, because it will either be met by the air or an eventual revved MacBook focusing on ultraportable demographics.

That doesn't compute for me - at least not in an urban environment. You're safest on the street where there are the most people; and criminals aren't going to try to break into a building if there's an audience. High foot traffic leads to safe cities. Cul-de-sacs discourage foot traffic.

This effect could easily be counteracted by paying attention to polls and voter registration numbers. If you're in a competitive area, sure, go ahead and vote. But if the numbers are clearly lopsided, as they are in places like California and New York, Republicans are free to vote, their vote just won't do anything except waste their time.
I feel like a huge number of people have completely forgotten about what they learned in high school history like the corrupt bargain, the guilded age, westward expansion or really any number of other absurd things that have happened in this country, or similar events that have happened in other countries. Those weren't just stories and they weren't just things that you needed to know for the test and then forget about, we teach them in high school for a reason.
I disagree. The original intent for ICO's was (and is) honorable, as is crowd funding. We have to get out of this mindset that ICO's are inherently fraudulent. The early days of the internet were rife with scams and fraud (and it still is). That doesn't make the internet 'a way to figure out how to rip people off'.

The big banks would love everyone to think ICO's are wild west country, just as the early days of open source were laughed out of the room as crazy give aways of ip. Look were we are now with Oracle 'openworld' a few years later...

It was really to fund research and development of open-source cryptographic protocols which are usually out of the VCs radars.

The mechanism used was itself a revolutionary development, fungible digital tokens (ERC20). There are new protocols for fundraising that are designed to give token holders more control over the disbursement of rewards to the development teams but the wider market still needs a good cleanup imho.
> Imagine a restaurant that could see you operating an illegal handgun market out of the corner booth and just decided that was fine as long as you tipped your server alright

Imagine a better analogy because telecom service providers have nothing to do with restaurants (or almost any other type of businesses, regulated utilities are pretty different!). It's more akin to a power company cutting off power to someone who they accuse of using the power that they paid for to make counterfeit handbags. It's quite possibly true, but as a regulated utility it should not be up to them to decide. As long as their services are being paid for they should not get to cut people off.

If AT&T was actually concerned with their network being abused they would go after spammers and robocallers, not someone who downloaded an HBO show. This is one of the concerns of telecoms being media companies.

TBH I feel like integration and UI tests can be combined at this point. Writing a bunch of tests to only check UI elements feels like a waste to me. I don't mean to go full on BDD where every step is spec'd out, but I've done it by interacting with elements and validating data with the API.

While I can't speak for Hacker News as a whole and I'm going to talk about clicks and not purchases strictly, I am willing to talk about developers more generally who frequently say things like "advertising doesn't work on me". Collectively, they are mistaken and it does work on them.

I work on advertising at Read the Docs and when we were first added to the main ad blocker lists our revenue went down. We were 100% pay per click at that time and our revenue went down by the same percentage as the number of ad impressions went down. Looking at it statistically, developers who run ad blockers still click on ads at the same rate as those that don't as long as they actually see the ad.

It's not a failure to launch so much as it is a reasonable choice to refuse a path that is not appealing to them. While I chose to marry and have children I in no way presume that my choice to do so is correct for all; it is entirely reasonable for others to choose differently than I.

Why should the individuals in question follow traditional paths, when there's ample adequate satisfaction and happiness to be found in life paths that carry less personal responsibility and financial burden? If having children and a life-partner does not out weigh the relevant stressors, in their subjective assessment, then I see no reason why they'd choose as I have.

Try giving it some more text to work with, with 3 sentences everything is average even with profanity.
It has everything to do with the story because it shows that most copyright claims are done in absolute bad faith and consumers are given no real tools to defend themselves.

Right now for the majority of people who get a DMCA, there is nothing they can do. There is no functional appeals process, there is no office in charge of handling bad DMCAs. Shy of actually going to court with a lawyer and attempting a suit, if a company files a bogus DMCA then you are boned.

That is an abortion of free speech and property rights, and the Swartz case is a perfect example of that. Most of the papers Swartz obtained were supposed to belong to the public, and yet he was sued into oblivion for DOING NOTHING ILLEGAL. He had no counterclaim short of going to full court with lawyers, something entirely out of his grasp and reach, and because he felt he had no alternatives to having his life ruined, he committed suicide.

It's not a farcical tragedy, it's a flipping shame for the human race.

It's called an active emanation attack. Passive attacks interpret the electromagnetic signals that electronic devices naturally emanate. They try to reconstruct what the original information was. The active attacks work by doing the equivalent how you see trees at night with a flashlight: they hit the target with a signal, it is affected by what's there, it bounces back, and you get a distorted version of whatever that was. EMSEC standards, esp TEMPEST shielding, were invented to mitigate as much of that as possible. Although it's classified, there's been a number of sites talking about public and some declassified info.

I don't have the link to old site everyone in hacking community used. Here's one provider that describes it nicely plus illustrates what the products look like. They used to be way bulkier.

http://sst.ws/what-is-tempest.php

Some more links. Elovici's lab is at the forefront of new attacks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuval_Elovici

Here's the quote that first taught me about the risk you described:

"A STU-III is a highly sophisticated digital device; however, they suffer from a particular nasty vulnerability to strong RF signals that if not properly addressed can cause the accidental disclosure of classified information, and recovery of the keys by an eavesdropper. While the unit itself is well shielded, the power line feeding the unit may not have a clean ground (thus negating the shielding)... The best way to deal with this is to never have a cellular telephone or pager on your person when using a STU, or within a radius of at least thirty feet (in any direction) from an operational STU (even with a good ground). If the STU is being used in a SCIF or secure facility a cell phone is supposed to be an excluded item, but it is simply amazing how many government people (who know better) forget to turn off their phone before entering controlled areas and thus cause classified materials to be compromised."

These are also another piece of evidence for two claims I often make: mainstream security folks don't produce devices that are actually secure; NSA/DOD are opponents of securing American infrastructure. On the first, high-assurance security and NSA certifications for TS/SCI demanded EMSEC since they were known attacks, esp by US and Russia. Mainstream ignored them mostly for "secure" products with only a handful trying to do something.

The second claim is from fact that security agencies misled U.S. companies and individuals about these risks specifically so they could use the attacks on them if needed. Although I don't recall if current, they also refused to sell TEMPEST-certified systems outside Defense in the past. So, NSA and pals were known to keep us vulnerable on purpose long before Snowden leaks. I've been griping about and trying to raise awareness of it for some time. Examples:

Absolutely correct. It's called Münchhausen Syndrome. What "helps" these patients isn't the placebo, it's the attention. (And it "helps" them in the same sense in which the next fix "helps" the junkie.)

I have reason to trust that device more than your phone. Your phone is exposed to malware over the internet 24x7 and is basically known to be vulnerable based on history.

I had a founder that was so cheap he only hired the most entry level engineers for all aspects his projects and it was always a disaster. At this point it is obvious that approach is actually more expensive and usually failed him. Once the company accidentally became a success he was forced to hire real engineers that rewrote everything from the ground up at the last second and barely met customer scaling goals.
Receiving attributions doesn't pay the bills.
Purely my perspective but... There is a psychic toll to doing a job that really feels beneath you. If you're raised in a culture where all the men in your class didn't have to get an education after high school and were able to support a family on manual or trade work and then you try to follow in their footsteps and fall flat on your face straight into minimum wage service work that's a burden those men carry. And then they apply for 100 jobs through indeed or linkedin and maybe get no calls back or only called back from similarly shitty jobs. They have low prospects so dating is harder. They have a lot of pain so it's easier to justify doing drugs. It's a classic downward cycle but worse it's something we, as professionals, have created. The utilitarian logic backing open trade and frenzied automation widely spread their marginal benefits but closely concentrate their heavy costs. These are those costs come to light.

Standing out can do altruistic good if you really have nothing assailable (everyone has something to hide but returns diminish rapidly with their image). Surveying someone and finding heinous crimes makes them look justified. Surveiling and finding minor lawn violations and jaywalking makes them look like wasteful totalitarian bueracrats.

The more people using secure approaches the less suspicious it is to be secure. Especially if there is a sensationalist justification - fight dirty in turn and use their weapons of fear as a pretext against them.

Which reminds me of resistance to a minor driver tagging law in New Jersey. Parents were outright defying it and refusing to pay for the stickers and just covering the fine in full if it came up. Technically the risk of pedophiles tracking them is negligible statistically but there are many valid civil rights perspective complaints it helps get people on board when they would otherwise roll their eyes at the complaints of teenagers a priori.

The hole is the 500k or so men who aren't working now (in the 25-34 year old demographic) who were working before the recession (well, the calculated amount based on percentage of that demographic who were working pre-recession versus who are working now). While other demographics (35-44 yo men and women, 25-34 yo women) have recovered (or done better) than pre-recession rates. And given the overall low unemployment figures, the question is why does this demographic seem to be missing out on the recovery?
I learned geography in school. It was horribly done.

In elementary school, pick a country from a region and memorize trivia about it, then watch interminable presentations from classmates about their chosen country within the region.

In highschool, it was primarily "how to read a municipal topographical map" as if that provides any meaningful context. And lots of stuff about how the region was shaped geologically.

Very little real context about how the larger world works. Also nothing about municipal civics and planning.
