There are many reasons someone could be angry. Someone might be impatient, low on sleep, frustrated they other person is being offensive. its as if one was debating flat earth theory and the other person was making ad hominem attacks, denying facts, picking at technicalities of your argument instead of the meat of your point (never say always or never because someone will find a single instance of that thing happening or not happening and suddenly they have side stepped the whole line of argument).

On the other hand if you are handling a skilled debater, and they have snuck in some false premises that have led you down a road to agreeing that abortion is objectively wrong and shouldn't be legal, that may make someone upset. It could just be that the person is upset because they feel strongly about their stance but they aren't sure where down the line of the argument they went off track. OR someone could actually be inconsistent with their thinking and when they are shown that they are wrong, they get upset.

It can't possibly just be that when you are angry you are probably are wrong, unless you only get angry when you are wrong.
Will be interesting if Uber or Lyft will postpone IPO in favor or buying one of them. Cant imagine it's possible to acquire one of them and still IPO in near future - but who knows. Exciting to see scooters and bikes get nice adoption! Changing the form factor to be more like a mini car (with at least a seat) would be neat, scooters just dont feel that safe.
Being able to install a good habit and replace a bad habit is really the "ultimate" brain hack.
On forming a habit:
Basically you start with a very small habit that doesn't take a whole lot of willpower to do and consistently do it...like do 1 sit up, and do it EVERY DAY.
I like how this idea is outlined in mini habits.
https://minihabits.com/about-mini-habits/
Once you have a habit formed, it's AUTOMATIC and you don't have to think of it anymore.
When you learn to CHAIN related habits together, even small ones, the changes are LIFECHANGING.
Making big complicated techniques for managing yourself is just plain tiring and your working against your own human nature.
Keep it small and simple and you will see significant changes over a short period of time.
You hit the nail on the head there. Blacklists just don't work for users. They work for providers, but only for CYA. Users need tools to help them find good useful things.

This brings my morning routine to mind, which I explicitly designed to combat this feed poisoning that everyone is enduring. I literally hit the wikipedia random button every morning before I get out of bed. It's hooked into my morning alarm. I don't check feeds in the morning because I want to let my mind explore without someone influencing my focus, which helps me be more creative later in the day.
Stand up scooters feel so unstable. Why not just add a seat and allow a seated scooter that’s foldable. The problem with last mile transport is that the laws in many countries need electric bikes to have peddles and peddle assistance. Just let people have a certain power and max speed and they will drop the car and replace it with a powered scooter. Aka, China.
I have friends in London and commuter towns buying scooters for their own use- despite knowing that they can’t ride them legally. There are none for hire here. When are they arriving?
I did that for a few years, although your job sounds a bit more stressful than mine was most of the time. I never got paid extra, but the job had some nice perks.

I am way happier now that I don't have to carry my laptop with me 24/7 and worry about taking it out while on a date or running off to find a hallway or corner to sit in and do work during the middle of a movie or concert. Sometimes I'd even get an emergency phone call during my commute and have to pull off the freeway to work.
Why not? Because I’m paid for 40 hours, and I work 40 hours. Why aren’t mechanics pulled in at 2am to perform warranty work, if they originally fixed the car? Same reason, that would be ridiculous.

Where does the responsibility end? At me doing the best job possible under the circumstances, all that could be expected of a human being.

most tftpd (note: not ftpd or sftpd) were really not intended to be exposed to the traffic of a public internet connection. They're for stuff like serving an image to a voip phone that is booting on a LAN with tftp parameters to go and get a .xml provisioning file.

Off-topic - does your company have any presence in Australia?
Because people derive value from the service. It's faster than walking, more convenient than an Uber, and doesn't require a car.

Let's leave the "get off my lawn" comments off HN.
>>Saudi Arabia paid $55 million last year for its use

They are going to ask questions after the Saudis splashing $55m? As if they needed to ask questions. It's known why Russia, China, SA, UAE, Sudan and the likes want these programs
Secrid wallets prevent this attack, and are quite popular here in the Netherlands (where almost all bank cards are NFC enabled). Funny enough they are more popular for their form factor, than the NFC shielding that was their core feature.
Not a lot, actually. Einstein (and a few other people before him) did pretty much all there was to it.

Interestingly I just noticed Lime-branded Fiat cars in Seattle for the first time yesterday. Looks like they're taking on Car2Go and ReachNow.

Looks like it launched a couple weeks ago:
https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/bik...
Why are cars allowed to litter the public roads and park all over the place, taking up a massive amount of space with mostly empty seats and driven around less than 10% of the time?
But again the question is:

1. Is this the case in existing Chinese search engines?

2. If yes, Do you have evidence to suggest that Google's Chinese search engine would be any more harmful than said existing search engines in China?

If these points cannot be proven, then it does not seem intellectually honest to claim that Dragonfly is making China a worse place. To say that it fails to make China a better place, sure that makes sense. But to say that it makes it worse necessitates proving that the status quo in China without Google is better than a China with Google. Most commenters in this thread aren't actually outlining the impact of the product iself, choosing instead to criticize the fact that Google isn't signalling American or Western values as much as they want . I'd be opposed to Google entering China if the majority of Chinese were opposed to it, but this does not seem to be the case. It seems patrimonial on my part to think that I'm better equipped to judge how a society on the other side of the world functions than the people that actually live there. No doubt some Chinese oppose censorship, but the majority seem to accept it or even support it as a necessary means to ensure social stability.

And how many of those are defined in terms of the underlying C ABI?

For example, WinRT - used by Windows/UWP - can be expressed entirely in terms of C structs and function pointers.
What does a "pro-ana" group gain from attracting new members ? Seems to me the dynamics are very different from a cult, where members are asked for money/work, and to bring new followers.

This is mostly just teens discovering fetishes and sharing them to feel better about it.
They covered my city with them recently and I'm yet to see anyone use them for actual transportation. I tried Bird out over the Thanksgiving holiday with my parents for fun. The app was a bit complicated but overall were pretty fun. Riding the scooter felt a bit dangerous and I wouldn't be able to bring anything back from a store on a scooter, so I'm not sure when I would use one. Also you can't ride them at night, so they're in no way an uber replacement.
Also my city is meeting tomorrow to discuss banning them. The writing seems to be on the wall for all these scooter startups. If anyone knows a good vehicle for shorting these companies, let me know ;)
> - You are an "at will" employee. The employment relationship may be ended at any time, by any party, for any reason, or no reason at all. There are no notice requirements, and any and all obligations of one party to the other are severed at the moment of separation.

When I made my comment, I was trying to get a handle on just why Americans don't think of these as contracts, and the quoted bit is why I think. An employment contract, to an American, means, for whatever reason, probably because that's how Europeans do it, that the company can't just fire you.

The fact that should the agreement ever turn up in court, it's contract law that will be used to adjudicate it, just doesn't register. Probably because lawsuits are so far away from the American consciousness, something only big companies with huge budgets do with each other. Or ambulance chasers or other such grifters.
People like you are never highlighted by people who want to ignore climate change. It's much more convenient to point at the hypocrites and see them as representative.
I think it's disturbing what happened to Khashoggi...but I don't understand what the U.S. or the West is supposed to do about it. We can't go to war over some guy who wasn't even our citizen, killed in Turkey, by a foreign government. I hate to say it, but don't things like this happen all the time in certain countries?
Markforged | Full-Stack Software Engineer (or frontend/backend) | Boston, MA | Onsite | Full-time or college intern | $100K+ and equity

We broke ground in 2014 with the world's first continuous carbon fiber 3D printer, and last year with the world's first sub-$100K metal printer. Our products are impeccably engineered and customers love us for it — our $70K printer has an NPS score of 85.

We have < 10 software engineers and are looking for a few more.

Our software stack:

* Webapp - Express.js / AWS backend, AngularJS / WebGL frontend, Electron for optional desktop client, all sanely-linted CoffeeScript

* Computational geometry engine for part slicing - Written from scratch in CoffeeScript and C++. Runs on EC2, in-browser, or on desktop client

* Printer touchscreen application - Node Webkit / AngularJS + Python -> migrating to Electron / VueJS + Python, all on top of a custom Debian image on a BeagleBone

* Printer firmware - embedded C on a custom board

Our team is all super full-stack. We generally distribute software tasks based on individual interest. As our nth software engineer, you will have tons of project ownership. Your ideas will influence the company's direction. You will do interdisciplinary work on physical systems and learn from best-of-the-best engineers across MatSci, Mech-E, EE, and SW, mostly MIT grads.

To succeed here, you need to be a quick learner and have a passion for software engineering. You don't need prior experience with 3D printing or our software stack, you can pick up those skills on the job.

You can email me directly jstrauss@ or apply online
> especially for those of us who have certain kinks, Tumblr to this day has been the only place to ever exist where women could safely express their sexuality.

Long before tumblr there were the alt.sex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt.sex) newsgroups. There have always been dedicated sites for just about any kink since the web existed plus meta ones like fetlife.
Why can’t you use your skills for something that actually makes the world a better place and delivers real value?
There are multiple neural network models which looks like they are aiming to do the same thing. I wonder deepmind won just because of computation power and expertise in training the neural networks or they come up with much better and different model than other participants.
It's not littering since local statues have rules about parking. FYI, in some areas, parking is illegal, and in most areas leaving your car in a spot for too long will allow the city to tow it.

Since the majority of places don't have statues for scooters, the default actually is littering, it's no different than dumping anything else on the sidewalk.
Sounds like he discovered the Rowhammer exploit?
Can somebody explain how was it possible to get whatsapp messages when it applies E2E encryption?

Did they have physical access to the devices? Was it all remote? Is it even feasible on an individual level and what would be the alternative(Signal? Telegram?)?
Can you imagine being a software engineer and being okay with getting rich by developing technology to out dissidents and have them murdered by some of the most oppressive governments on earth? Like, that's what you choose to spend your time on.
Presumably this would be classes in whatever sense the ABI would define them. Which could be defined in such a way that they can be mapped straightforwardly to Rust structs and traits.
Well there were and still are many things I don't like about myself and I tried to change myself over time.
I'll get shit from doctors on HN for saying this, but there are some chronic disease conditions that are so unimaginably painful that patients will go to any lengths to ease the pain, including -- if they're unable to obtain legal drugs for pain -- buying drugs off the street.

Older doctors are aware of this. But younger doctors have been taught recently at med school that opiates must only be used for acute, post-surgical pain. So an increasing number of chronic pain patients are being cut off from licit avenues, and turning to the far more dangerous street drugs.
To drag in new members in order to normalize their own behavior. The more people do it the more normal you feel.

Lots of cults are like that, not all of them have money or labor as their prime motivators.
My guess is that Lime and Bird's latest investors don't actually believe in these insane valuations. Instead, they see these companies as a safe place to park their money due to the limited downside provided by liquid preference terms.
> Every single one of your points ... presupposes that the reader knows what a pointer is and how it works.

Pardon my mistake; I made these points under the belief that I'm in a debate about how to teach pointers to a beginner audience, not that I'm addressing that audience itself.
Some people are strong willed, some people are followers. Some people are deep thinkers, others are quick wits. Some people plan, and some only live in the moment. Everyone has different tools they use to navigate the world.
I can agree in general, but, for now, disabling a firefox --install maliciousaddon.xpi and firefox --setconfig keyyoudontwant=valueyoudontlike is enough barrier to stop a majority of bad actors. None of us want users to click yes through install screens, having toolbars and spyware installed for the average user, but that has been the reality of those APIs thus far.

Perhaps a more fine-grained permission model is needed for cross-application changes, but I can't think of anybody actively working on it in an OS.

I like doing this too, but man, it can be really hard to follow old math and physics literature. Newton’s explanation of the laws of motion, which doesn’t use anything resembling modern notation or terminology, was extremely difficult for me to follow. You won’t find any “F=ma” in there.

Maxwell’s laws of electricity and magnetism are even harder. Today, “Maxwell’s Laws” refers to four equations, each quite brief. In his original paper, though, they are a system of 20 simultaneous equations with 20 variables with a dizzying amount of bookkeeping to keep track of x- y- and z- dimensions, because the curl and divergence operators hadn’t really been invented yet.
Arms embargoes, economic sanctions and travel restrictions I think would all be on the table as responses.
Read Seneca if you liked Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. He's better than both, imo.

Apache PDFBox 2.0.13 released
It's not a "get off my lawn" comment. Regulations about these scooters don't exist in the large majority of places- meaning the default local regulations about illegal dumping apply. Whether people derive value from it or not is not important to local laws.

These scooter companies are operating in a grey area; that's a fact. Please don't quickly dismiss discussion about this issue, especially in such an ignorant manner.
There's nothing about COM or WinRT that is inherently unportable across platforms. It's just a standard ABI, that can be expressed in C at that - so any platform that has a C ABI can have either of those implemented. It's just that never really bothered.

GObject is a good example of a truly cross-platform ABI like that.
Curious: What kind of preference is normal at this stage?
It seems to me that people tend to lend disproportionate focus to hypocrisy when it comes to climate change. Leading by example is a good thing but it's not the most important thing. The most important thing is always to find the most impactful change.
As someone who works in merging differential equations and machine learning, I have found this kind of work essential for what I do. Pervasive AD that allows merging neural networks and diffeq solvers is allowing us to explore all of kinds of new models and new problems. Sure it doesn't impact vanilla machine learning all that much (though Zygote.jl does allow for a lot of optimizations that wouldn't be possible with tracing-based AD), but it definitely opens up a new wave of AI possibilities.

Apache ServiceComb Java-Chassis Version 1.1.0 Released
This year I was falsely accused of stealing a girl's phone while in line for a dance club.

A gaggle of probably-too-young girls started screaming about losing their phone, then they turned to me, who's alone in line, and loudly accuse me of stealing it. I screamed back at them and called them dumb, earning eyeballs from everyone around. After about a minute one of them finds their phone and they all just pretend like nothing happened.

In an alternate universe, I was assaulted by the jocks in line who believe women first without evidence.
This is a logical step to get physx used by AI researchers.
Still a multiple of my sell price.
Murdering dissidents while they are in other countries doesn't happen all of the time, no. That's why it's news.
It is difficult to demonstrate your readiness when you've never been allowed to use it. Access + monitoring and support is a better strategy than hiding technology from your kid. Unless you are Amish, your kids are going to get dropped into the deep end.
