How exactly does blockchain help here? It would allow you to enter a read-only entry that you interviewed a subject and they said XXX, but how would it verify that this is a truthful entry?
Also Windows and System Center. It’s very painful for Microsoft shops as many applications really need standalone SQL.

With our scaled up SCCM environment, SQL alone increased licensing cost by a very significant factor, as you need to license SQL Enterprise when you exceed the core limits of the gratis SQL Standard license.
Please don't post links to paywalls.
> Please don't say "using a different vulnerability that allows us to execute arbitrary code".

Sorry, but I'm going there anyway. Imagine two different exploits. One is a remote code execution exploit and the other is a privilege escalation exploit.

Let's say your application has an exploit an attacker then manages to obtain a reverse shell (imagemagick, xml parsing, etc all have had multiple such exploits over the years). If you're running things correctly, that reverse shell is not privileged. It's the apache user or something. Not a good situation to be in, they can do a lot of damage, but at least some things are safe. They don't have root.

Now the attacker finds that you have X11 installed. It's an old version that was installed by default. It happens to have a root privilege escalation exploit via fonts. Now the attacker has root.

That's what I mean by surface area. Thinking in terms of "have we been compromised" isn't sufficient. Being able to contain the attack is important, and dead code lying around factors into how well you can contain it.
I think you mean rate, not rank. In any case this is silly. The correct strategy is outlined here.

Wat? Are you arguing that all imprisonment is 'slavery' since it entails physically constraining prisoners? With that definition any institution that 'physically constrains' people is slavery, including public schools which prohibit students from leaving during school hours. Those students are physically constrained from leaving the premises, for example. In many cases there's even a cop to enforce it.

You mentioned Colorado, and I implied Colorado and others that have followed suit, in my earlier comment which I assumed that you read before you wrote this reply.

Your #1 source does not mention the text you attributed to it. And it's an opinion piece. It mentions that the inmates who volunteer to work do so for low wages. Well, they could also choose not to work on those programs. What proof do you have that they were coerced (I'm actually not arguing against it, but looking to correct my opinion if necessary).

In any case, states do things that the federal government does not agree with all the time (legal weed, for one). It's a crucial feature of our system of government.
They require a recent Linus kernel for crostini for some virtualization feature and vendors ship some Chromebooks with old kernels without that feature.
It's really cheap and really rugged. I didn't think I'd like the tablet/tent modes, but I actually do find them convenient and do them a lot.

Really I needed a device exclusively for light browsing and writing - and what I got was actually more powerful than I realized; they snuck a full laptop into what used to be an internet appliance.
Everything can be easily faked. So what? Screenshots have the benefit of being easy to capture, store and share.

Websites are very unreliable in this regard. They can be edited on the fly, are hard to store and are even easier to fake. Any archive or caching site can be purged of captured content. It's much harder to suppress an image once it's been passed around.

I've published it on npmjs for anyone interested in trying it out. Note: Still not 100% finished, so some features may not work.
Our support page mentions where you can ask questions https://firebase.google.com/support/ Slack is good and the firebase-talk Google Group is a great resource, as there are Googlers monitoring. Glad you're enjoying Firebase.
I didn't make any claim about life. I just wanted to challenge the statement about the universe being finite. I also agree with the other commenter that I'm not sure we can even be sure the mass is finite, but also happy to be enlightened.
What I don't get is why they don't "just" try genuinely cleaning up their act. Why not be rich, stable and wholesome; why reach for filthy rich and filthy? Unbridled greed, and wanting to be so good one cannot admit any wrongdoing, can easily wrap around to being more self-destructive than selfish.
I've had the same experience, but my complaint is that the services I'm going to them for don't require the services of a doctor at all. Most of the time, I am just going to get a prescription for something that I know I need, that for idiotic reasons I'm not allowed to just buy off the shelf.

Most of the time, I don't need Dr House. I need a warm body with a prescription pad. Occasionally a tailor, if I've sliced myself up.
Come on, not all their revenue. Facebook has been taking the ugly easy way forward for way too long. How many of these messy features were rolled out after Facebook already built its userbase on the strength of features people actually want? If a TV show or some other media platform switched around on us to the extent Facebook has, we'd have stopped engaging long ago.

I would wager that the primary reason the majority of people are on Facebook (unlike Twitter and Instagram) is still the original reason: to be connected to people they already know. Facebook wants to leverage and interrupt that as far as possible, as far as we will allow.
Pretty sure I was asked that question in an Amazon interview.

I think the difference is "Seattle" vs "Seattle area."

Google says that Seattle has a population of ~725k. Let's say that half of them are working. 725k * 50% * 15% ~= 54k.

54k Amazon employees in the city limits sounds at least in the ballpark.
The 'subset' of students is middle-school and older who are eligible for busing. If you're in elementary school or in walking distance, the school won't buy you a pass. It's opt-in and busing is the default, but from 6th grade on most kids take the T.

I don't think driving your kids to school in Boston is unreasonable. Some school buses were chronically late, delivering kids to school up to an hour after the start of the first class.

It may surprise you to learn that Boston is not Seattle. For example, the public schools here are the ones with antivaxxers and diseases you learned about playing Oregon Trail.
Sounds like an excellent target for an X prize. Say one that would reveal one set of data for submissions to match, and not reveal another similar set. The "theory/formulation/algorithm" with the best match for the second set, wins.

Obviously any kind of University contact would be valuable for your kind of quest; do you have any skills you can offer to help professors in the area? So that you could establish yourself a bit before trying to sell your idea? That requires a fair investment in time, I know, but I think that's what you're up against since so does evaluating theoretical ideas "just on spec."

I don't mean to contradict the previous comment, re familiarizing yourself with a journal's style, but that's a bit like teaching yourself Spanish without ever having anyone check your work. So there, too, an insider who can act as a first reader is invaluable.

I wish you luck, the professionalization of the academy is part of why innovation is now slowing IMHO.
16gb seems to be the current max ram. Only way to get 32 gb in Chromebooks would be to take one of the rare beefy 32gb laptops and run one of the private chromeos distributions.
No, branches break down badly when you have many experiments. You end up with a bunch of incompatible versions of the system that you need to merge together later which can be a huge mess (depending on the size of the changes).

By all means, branches are great for super-prototypey early code, but once you know that you want to keep the ability to run the experiment around, guard it with a flag and merge it into mainline to avoid nightmare merges later!
Health care is a good example of some of the problems of the current debt-based economy. Charles Hugh Smith mentions insulin as an example.
No. You want people who are able to pass the STEP exams, complete an ACGME residency, and become Board Certified to end up becoming doctors. That is the only metric we should be using and, as it stands, there are significantly more people capable of overcoming those hurdles than the US currently allows the opportunity.

Because FB's outward behaviour and actions don't seem to reflect your statements

I have been coding on a ThinkPad t460p with an i7, a 1GB SSD, and 32GB Ram for the past two years. I loaded it with Ubuntu Gnome and most everything I use it for just works. I also opted for the larger battery so I can easily go 4-7 hours unplugged, depending on usage. I got the matte 4K screen and all these maxed out specs for around $1800 new.

ThinkPad quality isn't what it used to be, but if you just want a solid, no-frills, easily upgraded Linux laptop, the thinkpad t-series and x-series laptops are still the best option out there, in my opinion.
You already got some comments that cover UI. I'd give you a different perspective on the UX.

One thing is UI - "drawing" apps and web sites, a completely different area is the UX. You should have been dealing with UX while doing software development - writing frameworks, creating classes, etc, or during day to day life - dealing with invalid door push/pull handles, hard to use phone apps, etc.

Just start paying more attentions to details and areas that are not as efficient as they can be.
@Amazon will soon give Alexa a 'rudimentary form of emotional awareness,' making her able to hear your whispers & frustrations. She will also be capable of listening for trouble such as breaking glass or a smoke alarm when you’re not home: “We’re going beyond recognizing words."

Just curious. I don't have TV so I don't have commercials, but are they like, advertising on TV or something, or is it more like, they fly into whatever city isn't using them, order up a bunch of cab rides, and tell the driver to work for them?
I have to admit that I once fell for the probiotics advertising while I was sick with a digestive problem. The probiotics I took made everything worse and they made my thoughts muddy and confused, which meant I continued to take them, like an idiot. I think I'm still suffering from exacerbated digestive issues due to probiotics and I wish I could reverse their effects now.
Deliberative Polling
thats the irony here... so much of this thread just reminds of of windows XP
The problem is how hard it has become to make native apps on all platforms. Too much work and they never look and feel the same either.

Electron is fine, and webapps can be very fast, but that takes proper coding with a focus on performance and UX. Many companies just don't care.
​Best Practice CIS Amazon Web Services Foundations Security Requirements
Interesting. Facility fees are being rejected by insurance companies or in the worst case passed along to the consumer which a lot of people are angry about. It might be worth writing to the CMS about or even the President. The Executive has expressed interest in more competition in the market. However, insurance companies should also be interested in paying a higher reimbursement rate minus the facility fee too since they'd have to pay that in the outpatient hospital scheme too (if they don't balk that is...)
Yes, security and integration. You can have secure crostini shells that can't infect your main os yet share UI and files. You can integrate data by copying files, cut and paste too, but it's light weight like docker. You can at the same time use the secure chromeos.
It’s likely the commenter would like the used market to be flooded with supply, driving prices down in order to buy cheap and still have a budget for the kung fu grip gpu.

A lot more function in Wine than in Windows 10.
So you think there is some special Google spying of what you type in bash in chromeos? Ain't happening
You should expect EMR integration but I do know that it has not happened in many places where the local clinic carries the major group name but the EMRs are separate.. It's actually a shame. This is relevant to the Children's hospitals and clinics in Minnesota for example.

Even in the dynamic case, you can still use an possibly malloced array and verify the index is valid, which is a nice improvement over leaving function pointers lying around in the vicinity of buffers.

At one point th high res assets were nearly half of the download, so they put them at the end. If you logged in early you couldn’t run straight to the end game content and some things were not as pretty as they could be. I think some other games have started copying this pattern.
They mention that these pages were created for every combination of “connect service X to service Y”, which matches twhat people are actually looking for, so I would argue this is a great use of 25K landing pages that are adding value and being rewarded by google for doing so.
Using a switch requires that you statically determine and list every target. Implementing your own jump table let's you build it at runtime.
They have a declared support plan and follow it. I do wish they'd support crostini on my 2015 pixelbook but it has the old Linux on it.

I can spend several hours building and deploying something with AWS Lambda and API Gateway or 15 minutes in Zapier and it just works.

If you are talking about market efficiency one of the main components of it (which is really often overlooked) is access to accurate information to be able to judge the quality of products. It hurts consumers when they do things like this and consumers also can't do anything about it unless they know about it (which is the whole point of the article that you are dismissing).
> Its harder to invest in meaningful job creation when you are spending inordinate amounts of money keeping Walmarts employees fed and housed.

If the Walmart disappears, you don't end up with former Walmart employees with middle class jobs, you end up with former Walmart employees who are now unemployed, require even more government assistance, and have to spend more for staples along with everyone else in town.

Government subsidizing low wage workers is how redistribution of wealth works. That's its mechanism of operation. The rich pay taxes and the government gives the money to lower income people. It would be great if we could just stop having lower income people so we wouldn't need to subsidize them anymore, but where does that money come from? When the answer is higher unemployment and higher prices for other lower income customers, how is it better for the money to come from them instead of wealthier taxpayers?
Journalists rely on phone calls and interviews, and on their reputation that they didn't fake the phone calls and interviews. This isn't all that different for academics. If they interview someone themselves then they'll cite it as "personal communication".

On Wikipedia, you can't do that, but that's because everything we do is as anonymous editors with no reputation.

The whole thing runs on trust. It has to bottom out on people making observations in the real world, so betrayal is always possible. Trustless knowledge gathering is a fantasy for crypto-enthusiasts.
Any or almost any recent Intel based Chromebook with recent kernel does crostini.

"GATES: Before I sit down to code something, most of the instructions have already run through my head. It’s not all laid out perfectly, and I do find myself making changes, but all the good ideas have occurred to me before I actually write the program. And if there is a bug in the thing, I feel pretty bad, because if there’s one bug, it says your mental simulation is imperfect. And once your mental simulation is imperfect, there might be thousands of bugs in the program. I really hate it when I watch some people program and I don’t see them thinking."

"INTERVIEWER: Does accumulating experience through the years necessarily make programming easier?
GATES: No. I think after the first three or four years, it’s pretty cast in concrete whether you’re a good programmer or not. ... There’s no one at Microsoft who was just kind of mediocre for a couple of years, and then just out of the blue started optimizing everything in sight. I can talk to somebody about a program that he’s written and know right away whether he’s really a good programmer. If he’s really good, he’ll have everything at the tip of his tongue. ... To this day, I can go to the blackboard and write out huge slabs of source code from the Microsoft BASIC that I wrote ten years ago."

Calif. Man Pleads Guilty in Fatal Swatting Case, Faces 20+ Years in Prison
I think the reason many are both emotionally and logically concerned about this is that see it in the broader context of the growing wealth inequality and life inequality in America.

In principle, having the wealthy rely on their own firefighters, water supply, police force, education system, or medical system should not reduce the quality of said service to the rest of the people, but in practice, it always seems to.

Whenever there is a widespread social problem, its best to solve it for everyone. If the 0.01% are drinking from the same water supply and relying on the same firefighters that we are, it is in their best interest to maintain a high quality of service. Once they have a way to solve that problem for themselves, they are less likely to support using their taxes to improve and maintain these services.

Ask HN: Good software to draw floorplans for a renovation project?
Basically we have an apartment with naked rooms and need to decide how to fit in cupboards, whitegoods and furniture. Ideal would be something that lets us draw and move features at scale.

There seems to be a lot of software out there that does this, but most of it looks quite clunky and it is hard to tell whether it is actually any good.

Mac support would be great and I'm happy to pay for it.

IFTTT created a product (and a closed one at that, being dismissive of developers wanting to give them free labor to create integrations). Zapier created a platform and actively courted developers wanting to add integrations.
It is fantastic. I pay for Zapier and sometimes I end up on these pages when searching simply because I was unaware of a new integration. The pages do a fantastic job of showing people a solution they are searching for.
This is 100% accurate.

In fact, given the timeline, I’d be surprised if either Luvoir or HabEx, as currently envisioned, actually flies. There is a lot of technical innovation that will happen between now and then, even if the Decadal recommends one or the other.
