I like everything.

Well, almost everything: The "View raw message" feature exposes way too much information about your contributors - including their email, smtp client, ip, and a bunch of other things. I understand and appreciate the usefulness, but as a contributor I don't usually expect my details to become that public.
that's hyperbolic. freedom of the press while aggressively taunting/sovereign citizen-ing the most overpowered executive power in the world, maybe
Likewise, you don't ever explore the entire state space when you perform quantum computation. As it happens, most states are inaccessible. As shown by Poulin et al. in Physical Review Letters, 106, 170501 (2011), you can only ever explore a very small fraction of quantum states in polynomial time.

Edit: tezthenerd has said pretty much the same thing below. I just included the reference in case you'd like a formal proof.
It's uniquely HN to condescend by using another website as an insult.
The thing that annoys me the most about this are websites that render a blank white page, but when you check the page source you realise the content is right there, but hidden by default and then unhidden through JavaScript. It boggles the mind.
This is like something a stoned frat boy would come up with as their first attempt at a mission statement.
That also invokes negative connotations of analog computing that occur because of it's problems in the old days.

On another note: There is also a sense of analog quantum computing when you use bosonic modes instead of qubits.
I've been looking for exactly a consultancy like this. Thanks for sharing.

Feel free to contact me directly, I've got some business for you.
I did something slightly similar to this for class project years ago. I think my project was called "Object Removal Detection in a Retail Environment".

I wasn't trying to detect which item was removed, just that an item was removed, so it was a good bit simpler. I was using Matlab to analyze with old school computer vision algorithms to analyze the video (this was before deep learning was common).

It mostly worked--it could highlight when an item was removed from a shelf, but it wasn't useful enough for much other than maybe helping security to manually review tapes for evidence of shoplifting.
I would be genuinely surprised if the current administration decided to prosecute one of their most useful Russian agents.
>So what? Their medical degree obvious isn't qualifying them to be a doctor in the new country.

I never understood this, even while in the medical industry myself. Perhaps this might be a little true for an immigrant from Venezuela with a medical degree. But for an immigrant from England, Why not?
I see no reason Amazon would want to acquire them: Amazon is a few years ahead in their technology and already has the logistics back-end and branding.
The database is the easiest part in a lamp setup provided you are not using postgres.

If you are using something like digitalocean they have a one click lamp install. It couldn't be easier.
My friend was contracted to do some marketing for Frito-Lay and according to the team that hired them, Frito Lay's mission was to capture the 30% of non-prepackaged food eaten by Americans.

Their public mission statement is a bit more innocuous: At Frito-Lay, delighting our consumers is job No. 1. To us, that means putting consumers first in every decision we make - from the quality and care that goes into making our snacks to the ways in which we give back to the community and care for our environment.
What was illegal about releasing campaign emails that were given to them?
News organizations wouldn't drop all the emails at once. Previous enormous leaks have been handled by ICIJ members with great care, going for years of investigations, careful verifications, and publishing only pertinent stories.
That would probably be the Mac Mini when it switches to ARM, and it would probably start at $500 at the very least.
Not directly related to SA being back, but since spam combat stories and approaches are shared here: I used to run SA with postfix, but it was quite a memory hog, occasionally leading to OOM killer raging. Half a year ago I've disabled it and revised regular postfix (+ postscreen) settings, consulting a couple of helpful articles [1,2], and didn't get any "real" spam (i.e., not counting Bitbucket) since.

Likely the incoming spam varies for different people and their mailboxes, but tweaking those standard settings can be surprisingly efficient.

The IP is the IP of your mail server, which is a lot less private (you can derive that just by doing a DNS lookup on your hostname). The email address is explicitly exposed, your email is not private in git repos either, and it's important that people are able to get in touch with you. It's a mailing list!

I'm glad that you like everything else :)
If true, this suggests that previous articles about assange being 'practically free to go', and 'just staying in the embassy for attention' were misinformed.
Wow. thats even slower than the old 110 buad acoustic couplers in college!

I feel like I'm having a math stroke.

The posterior probability of p being less than 3/N for Beta(1, N+1) should be integral(Beta(1, N+1), 0, 3/N), right?

That trends toward zero, so I must be wrong, but I can't for the life of me remember why.

EDIT: Ah! I was accidentally using Beta instead of the PDF for Beta.
Yes, I can only imagine the shitstorm that went down yesterday.

They should have called it the Mark and Sheryl rebuttle as this piece was really only about them. Digging a deeper hole, which is what I took from this, would seem to indicate that there are stronger calls for a leadership change than anyone suspects.
That does not match my experience (but n=1 and all).

In my case, the result of the sleep study where I didn't really sleep was, "hmm ... it looks like you might have insomnia." (No kidding). No drugs were offered -- or forced -- during the study.
A credible news organization would have tons of fact checkers and editors to make sure the relevant facts made it in to any article they wrote. They wouldn't, blindly, release tons of unedited emails, including some that were doctored to make the DNC and the Clinton Campaign look bad.

Doesn't need to be state-sponsored (and most news organization aren't "state-sponsored" ... unlike RT, for example) to be credible.

Matt Taibbi in collaboration with Chomsky is writing a sequel to Manufacturing Consent, discussing history and the media environment since its publication. I'm not suggesting he is an heir, only that interested readers might check out.
I think for Musk, Mars is more than just a milestone, but he’s able to be realistic enough that he knows that he SpaceX needs to focus on the rockets for now.

I'm sorry, but comparing just the gross pay between EU and US is superficial at best.

(Taking Germany as an example, single, no kids) If you're offered say 100k in Germany - due to heavy tax-burden and social security costs - you will get less than 60k net. But what is hidden from your paycheck is that the company has to double your social security. So in reality you're getting paid 115k.

If you make more than 250k, that means you get an extra slap on the wrist: "wealthy tax" means every € you make above 250k gets taxed at an excessive 45%. Which is why at that kind of pay employees seek out different kinds of compensation schemes. And because of these schemes those people often aren't count in the employment statistics and thus lower the average pay.

On the plus side: From what I hear from European expats in the US, a lot of your high pay gets eaten by having to pay private enterprises for things that are provided by the government in Europe (getting a degree, good schools or kindergartens, healthcare, using the courts/legal system etc).
And on top of that, WikiLeaks solicited the Trump campaign for a few pages of Trump's tax return with the explicit intent making WikieLeaks seem more non-partisan so as to make the emails inflict more harm.
When it was done with the intent of influencing the 2016 election, that tends to fall under conspiracy and espionage ... especially when it comes from a former adversarial government.
Folks, one of the devs — artavazdm — has commented below and has stated:

"It's only free during beta. Although we haven't decided on the exact monetization strategy yet."
This is awesome thanks.
"I took over a Perl project where every SQL call was an exec to a java program which would make the query."

and

"Oh, and at the same time, none of this was in source control."

Owwww, that's painful! 12 people spaghetti Perl that did its DB lookups via Java and non of it in source control?

Owwww, owwww, owwww....
Hmm i made a golang project to test https://git.sr.ht/~ata/demo/tree/master/main.go and first thing I noticed was that ~ in my package name. I wonder if that’s valid golang?
Yes, they are a news organization. Covering the election is what a news organization should do, and it's hard to argue the Clinton emails weren't newsworthy.

>They have been to be a known tool for the Russian government, even going as far as creating a show for Julian Assange on the state-backed RT TV Network

This is untrue. There is nothing suggesting that Wikileaks has knowingly coordinated with Russia. And that TV show was indepently produced by Assange, with RT buying some ofthe distribution rights.
Interesting that you would worry about repeats. Most people would interpret "randomly read 20 pages" as "choose 20 from n" not "take 20 rand(n)".
> If the sight of math makes you squeamish, you might want to stop reading now.

Sigh…another article normalizing the concept that math is something it’s OK to be uncomfortable about…
It doesn’t mean grads are excited about working at Facebook, it means they accept an offer for the sake of common sense.

This will most likely work to Facebooks disadvantage long term however; Facebooks workforce can’t only be motivated by money.

There was certainly a time that people would’ve took way less money to be part of FB because they believed in the product and mission, which is now a joke.
Why would a "credible" news organization have released them?

They weren't released to show evidence of any particular wrongdoing, nor did they show any illegal activity. They were simply dumped in order to fuel the fire of the impression of wrongdoing, and in hopes that some smoking gun or salacious material could be found to use against her politically.
yes, I think this is because defense contractors want (or feel obligated) to be like DoD which is in the unique position of being able to prevent its 'employees' from quitting.
But there was an election around the corner, they can't be bothered with any of that.
Tulsa wants your tax income.
If Tulsa can make it attractive, and a person's cost of living is reduced some people may take them up on the offer. Since many remote works choose where to live, a paid opportunity to move could be an ideal situation.

Tulsa has made an offer, that you aren't interested does not mean Tulsa is desperate.
It's been a real treat to watch Russia wag the dog over the last fifteen years as they've over-inflated nascent or waning American institutions to produce one final product of political capitulation (e.g. The Tea Party, NRA, Libertarian Party, Green Party, and most recently, the Republican Party)
Why is that better than releasing all the emails at once?

Why do they get to decide what's "pertinent"?
Well, Mailman 3 with HyperKitty looks more like some web forums. But Mailman 2 is quite dated...
Well, you’re the one measuring each three times. So this should always be the case?
It surprises me to learn that there are wildfires on the surface of the Earth that get hotter than a rocket nose-cone experiencing re-entry.
Fair enough, that does make sense. It's hard to understand how much the game has changed until you watch an older game from the 80's, it's a different flow entirely.

On an unrelated note, I am lucky to have some very cherished memories of sneaking down after bedtime and being welcomed onto my father's lap to watch Wayne Gretzky and the Oilers play. Sports can have a bad rap in tech communities, but I'll never forget the feeling of excitement (and warmth) watching those games in the dark.
Long shot: You need to be prosecuted, otherwise you cannot be pardoned.
So then was it illegal when msnbc aired the infamous Trump video saying “grab them by the p...”? That was clearly meant to influence the election...
"Break things" like democracy, I guess.
Intentions and prior knowledge matter in a situation like this. It would be wise to see what information the prosecutors have before declaring the death of free press.
I never thought it would happen. He always seemed to stay a few steps ahead and he has plenty of of supporters and many countries that are hostile the US were willing to grant him asylum. I'm not sure how this would work. He would have to be kidnapped or given up.
Slight correction: we use btrfs for the disk image backing the user's crostini state only. The rest of Chrome OS, and the crostini VM rootfs, still use ext4.
No I mean strictly less willing to do hard labor. The social safety nets in America may not be great, but most people would prefer to deal with that rather than do back breaking labor. And if you are not in that situation, you would rather do a different job that would pay equivalently. It used to be that your options were do what you had to or starve. Not starving is a good motivator.
If Facebook hadn't succeeded another, similar network would have

Some of the emails were altered by Russia for the purpose of spreading misinformation. Russia used Wikileaks to lend credibility to the conspiracy theories they were sowing in the run-up to the election.

NY Time has a great 3-part video series about Russia's history of spreading fake news. Each video is about 15 minutes but it's well worth the watch.
Covering news is much different than exposing the private communications of a political party.
N'ah. To check for yourself, watch CNN and Fox News side by side to see the range of freedom that the press has.
Golang doesn’t have a problem with it, but I would have to rename src/git.sr.ht/ata src/git.sr.ht/~ata a ~ in the filename which linux doesn’t like
I would argue you don't have to be a successful company founder to avoid leading a boring life.

There's a simpler reality: if you are really smart, there is less of a need to take the kind of risks and invest the kind of effort involved in a founding a company in order to achieve the lifestyle you want.
@soared pointed out that Vermont is also offering $10,000 to move and work remotely.

I can see this remaining a quiet movement. If it's successful I can see states competing for people the same way they compete for tourism (or on the last page of the travel brochure: "You came, you saw. Want $10,000 and are willing to relocate? Call XXX")
You're making the assumption that all smart students would want to go and make money (if smart is even a good proxy for skills among college grads).

Some are motivated by other considerations, such as impact of work and work/life balance.
Which emails were doctored? I hadn't heard about that. My understanding is that the "doctoring" done by Wikileaks consisted of selectively releasing information obtained from Democratic sources while concealing similar information related to the Republican side ( https://www.wired.com/2017/01/russia-hacked-older-republican... ).

If true, that's the point at which Assange and Wikileaks departed from the path of legitimate journalism.
Well, exactly; it's easy to take the moral highground when, well... it's easy. When there's a real choice at hand most people do what's best for them.
Wikileaks believed at the time that Clinton was ready to send a drone to get rid of Assange. Between due process and a drone attack, I take due process any day.
> I think the interesting thing is that the users aren't the customers in these examples.

There is an exchange for value between Google (FB, etc.) and consumers; the fact that it's an in-kind exchange rather than money doesn't prevent anti-trust analysis from being applied.

There's also the possibility of monopoly in some advertising segment, sure.
Interesting. In the same vein, video game companies have a negative compensating differential. Lots of kids want to grow up to program video games, so they don't have to pay them as much under worse work environments.
Since when does the constitution require journalists publish information in a manner agreeable to you? Hell, there was a court case years ago that decided news can knowingly publish falsehoods.
Soros is the largest single donor on the left and so tends to symbolise such donors to his right wing opponents.
I mean, you can do it, it’ll work but looks weird.
Even in stone/brick houses, they normally still have wooden roof beams. Typically embers set things like guttering and dry leaves in guttering on fire, and that then spreads through vents in the rafters into the rest of the building.

A fire suppression water spray to keep the roof wet would probably save most brick buildings. Most fires burn out within half an hour or so, so one wouldn't even need too big a supply of water.
If they are a news organization, they do a terrible job of reporting the news. They are a black box repository for leaked data. They were once a great resource for info hackers and leakers to push their data, like back in 2008/2009. But that was before news organizations started using their own secure drop servers for sources. Once WikiLeaks sources started to not go to them, they started to look for other benefactors and sources. They found it in the Russian Government.
There are hardly any news organizations anymore, given the events and media financial climate of the last few years.

There are no true scotsmen either.
Yea but nobody remembers those.
It seems like this process would have applications beyond the kitchen, eh?
Hahaha me too! Since getting married and because of the kind of mental support I got, I quadrupeled my income, travelled the world, got two kids, got boat licensed (together with wife), got ham radio licensed, got a degree, taking flying lessons now (together with wife), start Krav Maga soon (together with wife), start riding motorcycles (together, of course), train playing the piano again, lost 15 kilos (despite the cooking we do), learned a new language (fluent now).
And it is really attributable to this strong relationship. Because I get an A/B-test once a year, when my wife visits her home country for some weeks: I get the lazy guy I was before, not achieving much, despite having lots of time.
What marriage brings to me is the very long-term view. As far as I can see, I know with whom I will be together and we make plans. I meam, how can you raise even kids without being quite sure that you stick together? Marriage is the very official promise that you try your really best. It is not needed if you feel uncomfortable with it. But for me, very personally, I feel it really helps.
what's the best cross-platform solution of that bunch?
I really really loved Fieldbook. I’m sad to see them shutdown.

I’m pretty sure I’m gonna end up quitting my job and building a better Fieldbook next year.

AirTable is nice and they have an insane amount of funding now but their interface leaves a lot to be desired.
Wikileaks didn't cover the election. Wikileaks released private emails with the intent of damaging one specific candidate.

>and it's hard to argue the Clinton emails weren't newsworthy.

That the emails were released was newsworthy, but I would argue that nothing in the emails themselves was particularly newsworthy.

Financial relocation incentives don't appear to be anything new, but the alternatives never seemed to ring any bells for me. Hard to pin down precisely, but I think part of it was the fact that a lot of them were asking you to settle down in what might as well be the frontier in terms of urban density and amenities, or maybe the city in question was a burnt-out husk of its former self (a different kind of frontier almost), or maybe the incentive wasn't so much cash as much as loan assistance or some other thing that doesn't sound as sexy.

Looking at the website, pretty obvious that they're not asking me to settle in a small town or a burnt-out husk of a city. Despite my biases against Oklahoma, I get the sense that this is a pretty exciting place to be. On top of that, the incentives actually seem very practical. It's cash, plain and simple.

I like it, if you couldn't already tell.
Sounds like a good idea, but I wouldn't market with this 'smiling faces' name as I have never seen nor heard of the concept and it took you five paragraphs to explain what it means :)
Even if that’s true — it’s not, no emails have been shown to be fake — it’s not illegal to publish false information.
Build Better Teams
Setting aside whether I think it's likely Assange is a Russian agent, it wouldn't surprise me to see an agent of a nation thrown under the bus for political reasons or to support a narrative. For an example, see Valerie Plame.

Fun fact, as I was looking this up to make sure I had the right people and names, wikipedia helpfully informed me that "The scandal led to a criminal investigation; no one was charged for the leak itself. Scooter Libby was convicted of lying to investigators. His prison sentence was ultimately commuted by President Bush, and he was pardoned by President Trump in 2018." More fuel for the conspiracy minded, I guess. ;)
Pshh I was accidentally turning down Facebook job offers by getting ghosted after expressing my initial ethical reservations to recruiters back in 2012 before it was even cool
Not quite, but that is orders of magnitude less likely in Japan, and even less likely during the time this man was 25.

Following the normal path he’d have been slaving away at a large corporation.
In my experience, there's no shortage of people who have no moral issue working for Facebook and other similar companies.
First, that was the Washington Post that released the tape, and second, that is more for the fitness of the candidate (at the time). Third, and more importantly, it was obtained legally, without having to break in to a server to get it.
IRA Troll Factory Employee Sent by Russia Appears to Violate Election Laws
No, it is not. It may have been preffered if some of the less relevant emails were not shared, it's also unclear who should make the call of what is "relevant" and either way their release was news.
This is the first I’ve heard about the released emails not being completely authentic. Do you have any more reading on this matter?
FB is the MS windows of the social media world.

1999,MS Windows was de facto, but everyone hated it. Linux/Unix/MacOS was for the cool kids.

But all business folk loved MS, still do, from shareholders to 401k holders.

FB is no different.
Again sarcasm as a way to convey a legitimate point is downvoted on HN so I'll translate: I would be surprised if he was prosecuted harshly given his important role in the election of the current president of the US.

(Edit: to be clear, I personally dislike seeing all these jokes about russian agents re: the 2016 election. There was clearly meddling but its beginning to bother me that a vocal strain of vocal American liberals seem to believe that the main reason why trump is president is because someone broke some rules. People like Assange aren't pawns of some dark and evil power: they are themselves bad actors and should be treated as such.)
