Hum. The things is it's probably breaking other features and other plugins then. Try Sublime one once. It's like night and day. Everything works as if you were in single cursor mode.
In my experience, contracting has been a leading indicator with both contraction and expansion. Contractors get cut before full-time, but when things are still shaky later, contractors get brought on first before the company is willing to increase full-time headcount.
The bond market, and international stock market are less correlated with US large cap stocks. Historically though you are still better off investing in the S&P 500 or similar, it is virtually impossible to know what the market will start falling and when to sell, or when it is at the bottom and to start buying again. Time in market beats timing the market.
I worked a long time in that space and I can confirm that they are typically the first to go, because 1) it's very easy to let them go, 2) they're usually also much more expensive than your everyday line staff
Completely unhinged rant by someone who thinks they're knowledgeable but is rather ignorant of the history of nations.
Not necessarily.

It's pretty easy to have a network that's not very big that always has someone at the airport, or always is available for trips that stay within a specific neighborhood, or can always be arranged with a little more advance notice, or whatever.

And the relevant part of pointing this out is that as long as that's true, which is forever, then these large companies will never be able to extract monopoly pricing.

As soon as they start gouging customers people will immediately flood in to siphon off the lowest hanging fruit or easiest segments of their customer base.

That dynamic will never go away, it's not at all clear what the point of all this buying of market share is, given that it will never be truly defendable.
My SaaS uses Puppeteer for website monitoring. Shameless plug: https://checklyhq.com/product/transaction-monitoring/

It's been quite difficult to get it right, with Puppeteer being young etc. but it chugs along nicely now at around 10k-15k runs per day spread over 4 regions.
Sidecar beat both Lyft and Uber with people using their own cars. It launched in September 2011.

Rhapsody! I have the box and CD installer somewhere. It was 100% NeXT with the classic Mac OS gui chrome bitmaps. A vertiginous uncanny valley.
So they brute force an account (a not insignificant effort and the attacker now sees your password of "fuzzykittytoes". What are they going to do with that information?

Target a bank with it? They can't bruteforce a 14 character password for the bank over the internet. What trivial method would you use to get into your bank account, if you didn't reuse that password?
The ARM1 did not have any atomic operation. You only need those if you have more than one processor. It also lacked the multiply and multiply-accumulate instructions, as stated above. These took multiple cycles, which is not very RISC-like. That is also true of the load multiple and store multiple instructions of the ARM2 (I don't remember if the ARM1 had them). The ARM2 also added the coprocessor interface.
Dictionaries are not written by physicists.
It's not about whether there's a point. Their functionality is close enough that it's entirely a matter of preference.

hi, author here, and thanks.

I have a straightforward answer. Build incredible PWAs that users will miss out on on iOS, because it has partial support at best. You'd still serve 80% of the market.

I'll admit its a theoretical answer, as most commercial organization would not risk losing out on iOS users. They're not the biggest group of users, yet some of the most valuable groups of users, commercially speaking.
I've found that autocomplete is pretty janky. It often doesn't work or is incomplete. Have you been having better luck?
Lots and lots and lots of dual-income lawyers and consultants. This is one of the areas where, on average, women have their first child at a very late age[1]. Lobbying across a wide array of industries but also defense contractors and such. I was actually just looking at median home sizes/prices[2] in that area for June of this year. I live in Arlington, bought a house earlier this year and discovered $425k is pretty much the bottom of the non-condo market, we only saw about 1 go up per month and everything closed immediately.

Linux was started in 1991, so it really belongs in the BeOS era. But Linux isn't an apples-to-apples comparison. It's success followed the rise of the internet, and the resulting huge demand for a free server OS. No commercial vendors were providing that.

The other OS's you mentioned are all Desktop OS's, and that market was already buttoned up by the 90s, as it largely still is today. They were up against much steeper odds.

Their statement:

https://fastmail.blog/2018/09/10/access-and-assistance-bill/

Which drives home the point a lot of people are forgetting: it was never secure to begin with, unless you were going to the effort of encrypting all your own emails client-side before sending, and only communicating with others who did the same. Fastmail was never an end-to-end encrypted service, so they already could have been served orders from a government to hand over data, and if that government had jurisdiction and the orders were properly formed for that jurisdiction, they would've had to comply.

So as bad as this bill is, it doesn't really change things for Fastmail.
If it were my money, I’d be all in with stocks that have exposure to China trade war fears. When the current strife passes, they’ll rocket back up. I tend to buy the fear and sell the joy (if I sell at all.) But that’s just me.
> I think the issue is that most of the underage content is self published, and not coming from other parts of the web.

That actually doesn't matter; it's straightforward to find the networks of people sharing underage content. It is very rare that someone will only be sharing fresh, self-published content which is never shared or reposted by anyone else who also shares content in the ICMEC database at any point.

If you're analyzing content in a sheer vacuum, yes, this would be a problem, but you're not - you're analyzing content which is spread across a social network, and you're looking for networks which are intentionally seeking out and sharing this material. It is a much more straightforward problem than most people realize; it just requires the right staffing and resources (ie, problems which are directly solved by money).

> This makes checking against the ICMEC database worthless, as the content is brand new and has never been online before.

On the contrary; that's the exact mechanism by which the ICMEC database gets expanded.

This is why even the DOJ opposed SESTA and FOSTA - websites that are used by sex workers are also great places to find and rescue victims of sex trafficking. Most sex workers aren't trafficking victims, but a large number of trafficking victims are listed on those sites as well. It was one of the primary ways that the DOJ would rescue victims and prosecute traffickers. With those sites gone, traffickers have gone underground, and it's much more difficult to find them.
It's very close to an unhinged rant.

IBM's windows replacement wasn't so bad in my very limited usage of it. (I used it as the only scanner drivers we had for a scanner at IBM was for a OS/2 warp machine...)

I created an internal application for our company to use that is essentially a directory of staff members. I do most my development in Chrome but the bulk of the users are on iOS (Safari). I always find little nuances that I need to tweak for things to be "just right" on Safari. One example is that in all other browsers (including Safari Desktop) a <input type="search"> will show a little clear button ("X") at the end of the input. Some bug removed it from iOS Safari and we're still waiting for them to resolve the issue. It was reported in 2016 and was acknowledged by Apple [1]...

Damn I forgot people did such long road trips, I felt guilty of going to the train station. That said you don't go skiing from London every morning..
I switched from IntelliJ IDEA to VSCode for a massive legacy Java/Wildfly project. It started as an experiment, I figured I'd be back to IntelliJ within a week. I'm still using VSCode after a couple months now and I don't see a reason to go back to IntelliJ.

It starts and runs well, and has plugins for anything I might need. The day I run into something there isn't a plugin for, it's awesome to know that I could just make one to suit my need.

As far as negatives, VSCode has times where it gets hung up and intellisense is borked for a couple minutes, but I can usually just ignore the red squigglies until it catches up. I also don't yet feel as fast as I did in IntelliJ, IntelliJ has some really great keyboard shortcuts and I could jump around and work very quickly because of it. I'm hopeful this gap will close as I continue to learn and remember keyboard shortcuts in VSCode.
It's striking how many academics admit (usually anonymously, online) to using Sci-Hub for content they do have legitimate access to. Sci-Hub appears to be pretty much flawless at looking up articles across all publishers by ID or even title, and quickly returning the right thing if it's available.

The systems provided by publishers are, um, not. They're at the usual quality of bad corporate software, but more strikingly their anti-piracy changes have only served to make the gap worse. There are anti-crawler features which freeze access to entire universities when a hidden link is followed. There are view-in-app and download-disabled restrictions, often associated with no-searchable-text. (Which are especially idiotic, of course, because you can't actually restrict access to static content once you serve it. Using screenshots and OCR is irritating, but not hard to apply.) And in the worst cases, there's "available on request" via a library or some other human-interaction delivery mechanism. Which actually would limit bulk piracy, but only by crippling access altogether.

Every time I've tried to get a background in a topic or write about it, there's been a step where I check a dozen papers and discard 80% of them as being irrelevant for my purpose (or simply bad). Assuming that's common, it's hard to imagine how silos with custom access mechanisms can endure against a single, searchable repository at any price.
those laws (actually policies, I think) are meant to keep homes and other property from burning, not to encourage forest growth. wildfire suppression is rarely practiced in true wilderness areas in the US
The compulsion in both cases is exactly the same - pay union dues/sign non-compete, or find a new job.
Have You Heard of Evidence Based Scheduling?
Well it should be faster than storing a cryptographically secure hash. If hashing the data is too fast, an attacker could just brute force all of the passwords.
Very cool. I'd have liked a section concerning 3D Medical Image Segmentation/Classification.
I realize we're discussing this on HN but developers are a small microcosm of the communities being listed. Sure, there's examples that might combat the generality of my statement...but let's not be pedantic when that wasn't the subject to begin with.

I can work remotely with a very basic internet connection. So can others. And you can be a successful developer (in your country, let alone your county) without working remotely.
Maybe I am ignorant, but how does a trade war affect cannabis stocks? Is there some China connection I am missing?
Props to DeepMind for an impressive result. And for fixing the unfair conditions from the previous match where they “crushed” a Stockfish that was severely handicapped due to time control and no opening books. Note that Stockfish score was significantly improved this time around.

That said, can someone please explain what the logic is for DeepMind only releasing 20 games out of a 1000 game match? That is a relatively outstanding degree of cherry picking results.

As a former chess prodigy and software engineer, I want to believe these results but they would be much more credible if DeepMind open sourced the games.

I don’t see how that would expose any valuable proprietary IP, but I’m a total machine learning noob so maybe I’m missing something.
How easy is it to target a play-store update? I doubt google allows binaries to be targeted to individuals, so you'd need to push the update to a rather large set, and have the update only activate for the target.

That isnt very covert.
2) Lyft focuses on profitable higher income markets like the US and Canada so they can have a higher margin and not get into pricing wars

This, I think, is more important than many people realize.

When I was driving for Uber and Lyft (for about eight months, two years ago), Lyft had an entirely different clientele.

Uber was for the poors, the frat boys, and the average Joe Lunchbucket. Lyft was a decidedly better class of passenger, paid more per mile, the people tipped more and more often, and the passengers were 953% less likely to throw up in your car.

Drivers on their way to an Uber pickup would drop the fare if a Lyft opportunity came in.

Lyft doesn't capitalize on this perception that it is "better" than Uber, but my sense of the situation from talking to dozens of drivers and hundreds of passengers is that both the drivers and the passengers knew it.

Lyft could really differentiate itself in the market, if it decided to go this route (so to speak). The same way that Apple positions itself as a premium brand.

DNA Zoo – Genomics data for 50 mammals
Use a master passphrase instead of a password. Make it quite long, and personal, so that you won't forget it easily. The longer you make it, the more "obvious" (to yourself) can you make it sound, without compromising its security. Something like "It was a sunny afternoon the day I met my lovely puppy Rocket". Just use your own words, and the chances of anyone guessing it will be lower than those of brute forcing it.

If you want to also have a shorter password for daily use, save it in a separate database protected with that long passphrase.
You can do options, futures, short individual stocks, or even buy ETFs that take an inverse position.

As someone else said, if you have to ask this question it's something to be cautious about doing. But, you have to start somewhere so good luck.
What does an exponent really mean? (2018)
Ultimately yes, as a contractor your continued employment in financially difficult times is going to be a hard sell. Of course, you could always take a permanent position for a time if that would give you more of a sense of security. Or, you could fall back on the additional savings you've been able to make as a contractor, that higher rem being the benefit of the hedge you were making in the first place.

That said, I've seen companies shed permies over contractors in difficult times, because if you form the view that said difficult times will stick around for a while, the permies look worse as aliability/drain on your projections than having contractors which, although they are higher cost, can be shed trivially. Depends on location though, areas with stronger protections against letting go of permanent employees are the ones where organisations see those same permies as more of a long-term liability. In right-to-work states, for example, it's just as easy to shed either group.

That would assume everybody can interpret the information correctly and make an unemotional decision regarding their investments. In reality, everyone wants the party to go on indefinitely.
> You know that you can run and host websites from outside of US, right?

The liability that FOSTA and SESTA impose is very "contagious" - it applies not just to the people running the website (e.g. Tumblr) but can extend to anyone that does business with them as well, if that business is deemed necessary enough to the core function of the site.

It'd be very difficult to run any sort of sex-positive blogging platform at scale without, at some point, doing business with someone who has enough of a presence in the US to be exposed to liability under FOSTA and SESTA.

Even Cloudflare had to terminate the account used by Switter, a Mastodon instance for sex workers, because of FOSTA.

"Re: the topic, the author shows clear bias toward Firefox"

Yes, the article literally says I am biased towards Firefox success. You didn't discover a secret plot or anything.

No, the one shipped to user's home screens wins. Even crappy ones.

If it would mean perfect, there would not be a level above it. I do agree the statement isn't as clever as I planned it to be.
I bet that the entity that sells iPhones here in Oz is different to Apple inc. and has absolutely no leverage to do anything in software.

They are more susceptible to economic conditions in a single country

Taking Lyft to be a single-purpose undiversified company, isn't the opposite true? I'm no economist nor MBA, but aside from cashflow wouldn't a smaller company be more resilient to conditions due to lower resource demands?

every point of marketshare they get is a zero-sum game against Uber

Is this...true? First, because there's more than two players in the industry, and second because there can be more demand than cars among all of them.
Buy Lyft now, profit later when Uber buys them out.

That is, is using pgp still allowed? How about something signal-like that is self-hosted / federated?
I'm not, but its one of the things I track. A mixture of unemployment, yield curve us2y10y spread, deal activity are all things I look for to signal the end of a cycle. Tomorrow's job report will be interesting, but given all the other indicators I still think we're looking at a sideways to up market next year. Caveat being the risk of a recession elsewhere in the world and the contagion effect.
