> Failure of an operation does not mean the ideas behind it were incorrect.

Who's talking about failure?

> the analysis was correct but the execution botched

Are you willing to say this about all items on this page from 1951 - 1975? I haven't looked at it in-depth, but here's literally the first thing I scrolled onto, Bolivia 1971

> The U.S. government supported the 1971 coup led by General Hugo Banzer that toppled President Juan José Torres of Bolivia. Torres had displeased Washington by convening an "Asamblea del Pueblo" (People's Assembly or Popular Assembly), in which representatives of specific proletarian sectors of society were represented (miners, unionized teachers, students, peasants), and more generally by leading the country in what was perceived as a left wing direction. Banzer hatched a bloody military uprising starting on August 18, 1971 that succeeded in taking the reigns of power by August 22, 1971. After Banzer took power, the U.S. provided extensive military and other aid to the Banzer dictatorship as Banzer cracked down on freedom of speech and dissent, tortured thousands, "disappeared" and murdered hundreds, and closed labor unions and the universities. Torres, who had fled Bolivia, was kidnapped and assassinated in 1976 as part of Operation Condor, the US-supported campaign of political repression and state terrorism by South American right-wing dictators.

Yes, that doesn't invalidate everything he writes, of course. It just means he leaves all the stuff out that a person capable of being complicit in such things cannot be able to do, so it should absolutely be taken with a huge grain of salt, like dating advice from someone who might be a highly intelligent and charming sociopath.

"Botched execution", that's like saying a robbery was just the attempt to give a person a hug gone wrong. Yeah, maybe they didn't want to end up shooting the whole family including the children and a bunch of bystanders, maybe they "just" wanted to kill the father, knock the mother out, and run away with the purse. That's the "mistakes" they're making, it's a very vulgar euphemism in light of what it describes.
Because why not? Not everything is a business and if you believe Tor as a right of privacy in the digital age and you wish to make it available to everyone, why not?

Censorship comes in many forms, and technological literacy in the form of running a LAMP Stack and knowing how to modify apache is slim in the world, php/mysql, forget about it.

6.5K pages is not a lot of data, especially for interactive and probably non-rich dynamic pages. Consider it as a geocities in the 90's.

What probably happen was there was an jail escape that enabled a live shell and that person killed it. From who knows whom -

As for running a tor site, the most suspicious thing about it is being a tor exit node.

> Letting old C devs pass on their wisdom to new C devs. C has a lot of pitfalls but also has a lot of neat tricks.

On this topic, does anyone know any good blogs along these lines? I'd love to read some practical day to day stuff from people that have been working in C for decades, usually all I see from places like HN are weird compiler incompatibilities and rare exceptions that I never have to deal with.

Most of my experience comes from toy projects and horrible decades old code I deal with at work. The former is great for trying out ideas but I don't learn how they scale (human wise) on larger longer projects and the later is more a lesson in what not to do.
>In Washington, for example, the lender can use a simplified process (that gets used over 99% of the time) for a foreclosure that makes it non-recourse.

Yes it’s the difference between judicial and nonjudicial foreclosure.

But reworded: In Washington 100% of Banks can go for deficiency judgements after judicial foreclosure, but the banks have so much data they make the strategic choice of waiving that right in 99% of cases by going the nonjudicial route and foregoing the potential of the deficiency judgement. Further, in 1% of cases the bank has data that suggests the borrower has assets, income or even potential future income/assets that make the added time/cost of judicial foreclosure worthwhile.

In general it makes sense a defiency judgement isn’t worth the paper it’s written on...or he borrower wouldn’t have been foreclosed but in that 1% of (Washington cases) banks see people with income/assets who can pay trying to get out from an underwater property.

iOS 10.3.3 has been jailbroken untethered
The jailbreak currently doesn't support substrate, but it still works somewhat decently.
Yes, but there hasn't been anything open source since the release of the device in 2016. There were a lot of people starting DIY Pokemon GO plus device, but all of them were stumped by the certification protocol.

Now we can build a clone using anything that supports emulating a BLE peripheral (Pi Zero W, ESP32, etc)
At the app level, I'd say it's about responsiveness not latency. Instagram had a post a while back about how they cheat a bit to make their app feel responsive even if actual latency was high.

From this perspective one could say this article puts too much focus into the raw numbers, how many ms to a response. As techies, we like that: cheating is cheating. Numbers are important. But really we need to look harder, how can we make users perceive that things are better than the raw numbers.
Probably works in mathematics and other theoretical sciences. If the way you use your funding depends on the particulars of what you're doing, then you're probably screwed.
I think you're confusing Google's ad-tech platform (DFP and such) with Google's actual primary business as a publisher. Google's ad-tech business competes with other ad-tech platforms and provides services for other publishers to monetize their inventory. This is a relatively small part of their overall business that they could live without and Google the publisher doesn't need any of that to stay massively profitable. Google's own inventory would certainly be more valuable in a world where Google's ad-tech platform could not effectively help monetize other publishers' inventory.
Did you even look at that page in the 2 minutes between that comment and yours? That there might be more of that doesn't exactly refute the point.
This paper starts out really oddly.

1. Adrien Chen is a piece of work. He was enabled through Gawker to publically dox a private individual. (Yes, ViolentAcres did moderate scuzzy subs.. but that's an issue for the admins if they want that there or not) Adrian's actions had real-world consequences for the person he decided to go after. He also rubbed salt in the wounds when he did it.

2. His quote about how the moderators represent the community again is completely unjustified. This guy is a yellow journalist, and his statements have no merit.

3. Calling Moderating "Emotional Labor" is such a patronizing tone. It's community maintenance. (I'm pretty sure that dang wouldn't consider cleaning up and managing hn as something he does to make people feel better).
Kinda random, but it is interesting how they are including a public key in a javascript file.
I don't think he deserved to die. He sounds like he was a decent and loving person, and I'm sure he will be missed; I do not celebrate his death. But when you do the equivalent of sticking your hand in a box marked "DANGER LETHAL VOLTAGE", I do think you bear some culpability for your own death.

Practically the only thing we know about the Sentinelese is that they kill anyone who comes near them, no exceptions. He tried to make friends with them because he believed God told him to. Either his god is a giggling psychopath or he was delusional. I don't see a middle ground in this particular case.
Not on Github... at least for now : )
If I give somebody $10 for a sandwich, I didn't lose the money. I traded it for something more valuable. If I spend 8 hours at work and get paid a day's wage, I didn't lose the time; I traded it for something more valuable. Value was created.

When two parties make a bet, though, one of them loses and one of them wins. The losing side doesn't say, "That's great because I now have this cup of coffee I value more." They just write it off as a loss.

When I worked for prop trading firms, in every trade we did one side of a trade won and the other lost. In working for real businesses, both sides of a trade mostly walk away winners. Hopefully this difference is clear to you; it's that distinction I was pointing at.

If you're trying to make some sort of narrow point about my use of the colloquial phrases "made money" and "lost money", I grant that I was indeed being colloquial. Strictly speaking, we also didn't actually make money; I am told only the Federal Reserve gets to make new dollars.
There was some discussion of it on the "C conferences" thread a couple of hours ago. Steve Labnik posted some links to discussions around it's use at EA etc.

Personally I think it's a bit early for Rust to displace the incumbents there, but if any modern language has a chance, it's probably Rust IMHO. Consider one of the largest and most popular game engines right now (UE4), that's a huge codebase and rewriting it in Rust at this point doesn't make a lot of financial sense, even if it could technically be done.

It seems to making some inroads in the embedded space from what I can tell too, but rustc will need to have a wide range of architectures supported before it can replace C/C++ there too.
How are the situations remotely analogous?

Lorette Lynch was being paid market rate to do skilled work by a transparent business, not a shadowy millionaire to do .. what exactly did Whittaker do to justify his pay?
Poor choice of headline for the original article given 'replicated' indicates success. This was an intensive attempt to replicate but 14 of the 28 did not replicate.

That is a 50 percent failure rate inspite of using over 186 researchers in 60 labs worldwide. The widely reported 2012 study could not replicate nearly 100 of 100 studies. And in this case if this kind of comprehensive effort can't replicate half the studies it raises serious questions about the original studies and adds more fuel to the reproducibility crisis.

Given studies are routinely used to justify and implement policies [1], and taken seriously as points of authority it's not just academic.

There needs to be much larger discussion on the use of studies to direct policy that impact real lives, and the level of oversight, additional replication and other credibility building measures that need to be considered.

Larger ad dependent publishers have to push out click bait because smaller publishers push it out. If larger publishers would not do clickbait if smaller publishers do, they go out of business, because smaller ones steal the share of money.

And I am in the opposite position. I can’t hear a voice in any noisy environment, even when everyone else seems to hear it fine. So I went to do some test and was told by the doctor that my hearing was absolutely fine, that it has to do with the ability of my brain to process sounds...

However I must say, the Renovo Aerowood is a good looking piece of wood.
Australia had the USA's model, and to a certain degree, still has. But it used to be that if you wanted a reasonable amount of data (back in the days where 2 up to 8GB was "reasonable"), you'd be best off to get one of the expensive phones on a plan (say $80-100/mo).

But these days, those expensive plans have 20-30GB a month, whereas I'm still only using the data I was back then, and you can get plans for $20/mo for 4-6GB. So I've now gone to buying the phone outright and getting a cheap plan, and save a ton of $.

I suspect a lot of people are still under the mentality that they need the amount of data included in the more expensive plans, without ever checking that to be the case.

Of course, if you're streaming YouTube/Netflix/music at the high bandwidth rates and not even doing the bare minimum to pull down that data while on WiFi, all bets are off.
Most of the CIA records have been released over the years, and any major operations have entered the public record by now. Dulles was also very keen to brag about his successes and intent to bury his failures.

The fact is that the CIA in that period was absolutely inept. It failed to build any significant intelligence networks in either the Soviet Union or China, mispredicted critical events such as China's entrance into the Korean War, and squandered thousands of lives by attempting to parachute them into Eastern Europe, China, or North Korea to meet up with fictitious resistance forces. The CIA itself and its intelligence sources were routinely comprised by the Soviets and fed false information to the President.

The two "successful" operations of the era (Iran and Guatemala) replaced democratically elected leaders with brutal authoritarian regimes, and both of them barely succeeded though an embarrassing comedy of errors.

For a historical example I’m pretty sure Disney did this with purchasing land in Orlando before they announced they would build Disney World there. They even used fake names. Given in that case the company itself was doing the purchasing in secret so that seems a bit less shady.
You are mistaken. Judaism, at least, does not proselytize. Some branches actively discourage converts, and a few refuse to acknowledge that conversion is even possible for the Gentile-born.

The UK hasn't "now adopted" that model. It has existed in european countries for basically forever, it just wasn't/isn't the only choice, and less popular.

it's not sarcasm. 4GB is a pathetic amount of ram for a new computer in 2018. the last computer I had with 4GB of ram was a laptop I bought in the late '00s. a 2x4GB kit of DDR4 for a laptop costs about $50 on newegg right now.

the kids should be glad to have any computer a relative will buy for them, but it's probably wasteful to purchase such an underprovisioned machine for an adult who will actually take care of it.
Sounds like there's a few of us in the same boat, where our priority is the photo+video quality.

Coming from a previous life as a pro-photographer who has since sold all his gear, I almost always default to the "telephoto" lens (which is really a 'normal' lens in old-school photographer speak ;) ) on the 6+, 7 and now X, and am still astonished at the quality that you can get out of a smartphone.

The HDR on the photos+video of the newest models is very tempting... but I can wait out the year and either get one 2nd hand or whatever model replaces it.

I use all those nav assistance features too (offline topo maps yay!).

When you don't allow exemptions from rent control, you get something like the Bronx in the 1970s, where landlords set fire to their own buildings to collect insurance money rather than rent them out. [1] There's always an exemption - if you don't provide a legal one, people will find an undetectable illegal one.

Being nice and kind and understanding and sympathetic with tenants will rapidly drive you into financial ruin.

I’ve owned multiple units for over a decade and it’s definitely given me a different view on the trustworthiness of the average individual. A surprising number of people lie, steal, and cheat without any apparent hesitation or remorse, regardless of how well you’ve treated them.

The only thing that works is being fair but firm. Stay detached and professional and enforce the contract you both agreed to. If you give people much leeway, at least half the time it’ll be worse next month or the month after. Downward spiral and pretty soon you’re out thousands of dollars.

I think ‘jank’ would refer to the same thing, as soon as it lasts longer than a few frames.

E.g. the program runs consistently otherwise, but somehow freezes for 0.5s every minute or so.
I think you flipped my comment around. I’m saying that the number one defining requirement of model reproducibility tooling is that it does force version control / code review.

It should force the concept of “running an experiment” to be just another instance of a deployment. Any part of running an experiment that happens outside of the scope of that, such as with “mlflow run ...” for example, is immediately violating the most basic property of the whole thing (I guess unless “mlflow run ...” is hacked to perform actual production deployments of all types of programs).
Mostly due to the less diverse nature of the communities I guess. Because C is older and used a lot more low-level you get a lot more strange C versions and C users.

Most of the C developers/users are going to be interested in their topic, which is often already having a conference of their own. Think Linux Kernel Plumbers conference which is just about the kernel, and since practically all of it is written in C that's where you'd find all the people you'd want to meet on your C-topic.

There would be no point in going to a conference that is about using win32 and C when you are not using win32 as virtually nothing (besides the basics, but those basics aren't why you'd attend a conference) ports to your own environment.

Because C++ has a lot of extras that can be used in a variety of cases that cross platforms and APIs all the same, and because it has a different development and dispersion ecosystem, you'd get more of a C++ oriented conference without the information being non-portable.
Yes, it was in jest. The result of "true --version" is actually quite extent, bringing licensing and authorship information and a short explanation of the GPL.
How and where you establish your first legal entity (be it a corporation, limited liability company, etc.) in order to do business is not necessarily such an important decision.

Of course, there will be tax, accounting and administrative implications. Also, in some structures and some legal systems, giving equity as compensation to employees is not that easy or could have unexpected consequences.

Unless you have investors lined up, or expect to grow exceptionally fast, you usually have plenty of time to change the legal entity under which you operate. Furthermore, as you grow, it is not unlikely that you will have legal entities in multiple countries, using different legal structures. For example, a Delaware Corporation in the US, if you are doing a lot of business in California, you will need a California legal entity as well (iirc), maybe an Ltd in the UK and one in another EU country. Basically, you should probably have a local legal entity in every country where you will have employees.

It's probably a good idea to get a lawyer to help you out. You should be able to find one wherever you wish to start your business who specializes in doing just that.

I hope this helps.
I don't disagree. But the MTR is able to do that in China because they already make money in Hong Kong.

No North American transit operator makes money, so they have no way to buy up land in the first place.
Yes they have. I have had it for over a year. People don't want to subscribe for $10 a month or something but surely they can pay 20 cents for an article. Otherwise we are going to have junk news forever with auto playing videos and ads.
