Personal anecdote: Worked for a startup for 14 months a couple of years ago. The pay was on the low range with promises for the future. The perks: they offered $10 for lunch on Seamless and one unlimited metro-card per month. And $20 for dinner if we stayed after 8:30pm IIRC. The implicit untold cost was that we were not supposed to leave the office during lunch since it would be delivered there. In order to get edible food I had to put 10 myself since it would not meet the minimum for delivery and the ones that did were trash. In no time did I realize that we were paying for the lunch ourselves by working the other half hour of the lunch break. The 8:30 dinner was obvious what it was:)

Cart food was an option that I started taking after a while. Food was the same and I would de-tense during the break. GC sponsored employees did not dare do that.

When new clients were visiting the office (once in a while) we were supposed to become animated and chatty, draw diagrams and seem deeply involved with some problem; in a few instances 3 remote contractors that were doing design work for us were asked to come to the office to make it look as if the company is larger than it seems. They were thinking of buying a Foosball table and play during those visits to impress potential customers. I left before they they got it.

From a technical perspective I found this story compelling, so I tried out a simple hack to see if it were "possible".

Using an attiny85 uC, a couple resistors, a cap, and a couple diodes I had laying around, I was able to wire up a two terminal "device" that pretty much acts like a 5k pull up resistor on a I2C line.... But when you pass data through the signal line (SDA) wire it can read and modify it. It is crude and very limited, but it works (only at lower I2C data rates in this case, but hey, it's a cheap hack).

A nation state adversary could trivially miniaturize this to the size and form of an SMT resistor, and use a much more capable uC in the process.

Im not saying that this substantiates the Bloomberg story in any way.

Just saying it's a great (black hat) idea, and it works.

It would surprise me a little if this weren't used in the wild by somebody.

Like many early adopters, I too had a bunch of failed Vertex 2 drives and sometimes observed similar things. I think this might be because the drive lost some updates to its FTL about where it wrote new data, which could plausibly lead to both new files vanishing and changes to existing ones being apparently undone.

Those gods are not so mysterious, are they.
>Maybe I'm just extremely cynical, but you don't feel those are somehow gamed?

I think the reviews for products are gamed but I don't think the seller feedback ratings are.

I used to sell used books as a Amazon marketplace seller and I once sold a book that was damaged and put that condition in the description. The buyer bought and gave me 1 star rating for it and described the damage that I already put in the description. The buyer just didn't bother to read the description before he bought it. I couldn't get Amazon to remove that unfair rating.

If there's a way to game the seller feedback in a sustainable way across thousands of ratings, I'd like to know how. Sure, sellers could offer refunds to bribe customers to change their seller rating from 1 star to 5 stars (not sure if that's even possible) but eventually, the seller will run out of money with that scheme. On the other hand, product reviews are easier to hack.

>> One of the super secret missions they used to sell the shuttle program was capture

No. That is the easier-to-swallow purpose. The logistics of capturing an enemy sat, one that might defend itself by changing orbit, are ridiculous.

What shuttle could do was bring friendly sats back. Why? Well it would have to be something that you couldn't let burn up in the atmosphere but neverthless needed to come home. Shuttle could have serviced space-based nuclear weaponry, the one type of friendly sat that couldn't be destroyed in the atmosphere or sent into a disposal orbit.

A fleet of nuclear-tipped reentry vehicles in orbit would have required constant up-and-down servicing. Russia saw the US biulding a vehicle capable of servicing such a fleet. Fearing a capability gap, Russia developed Buran. But when various treaties and understandings mooted space-nuke concepts, Buran lost its purpose and was parked. Shuttle continued.

Other aspects of shuttle also came from never-flew military missions. Those giant wings were to permit a polar-orbit overflight of russia with return to the launch center, a cross-range capability. It didn't need such massive wings.

So Guile, Lush, Lua, Tcl would be the other likely candidates. I do use Python but more as a remote control over C.
You are ascribing motives that don't exist. It's not double speak, if you're referring to 1984: it's just that "turning down" is the converse of "turning up". That's a fairly simple and straightforward explanation, no matter how unfortunate it turns out to be. Most of the time, it's used when an internal service moves: it turns up in X and turns down in Y. I'm not sure what your motives are, but I know that you're off mark here.
I think it's more like $100/month base, but still infinitely more expensive than any other provider :(
Most importantly, never assemble an array from drives that took the same shipping path i.e. came out of the same parcel.
You shoudn't have any downtime. Copy your current DNS records for your transferring domain(s) and input them at the destination Registrar, then initiate the transfer, and done. It is surprisingly easy.

The only edge case to check is if you are using non-standard or less common DNS record types (ALIAS, CAA) then first confirm with the destination Registrar that they support the record types you need.

Or if you want to keep things really simple, switch to a third-party DNS host before transferring and use the same name-server settings.

And yes, paying the target Registrar should extend your registration time. For example, say you bought a domain last year and paid to register it for five years (so four years remain). Now you transfer it to Gandi.net and pay their transfer fee. You used up one year originally, transferred, and it's yours for five years again. Your unused years at the outgoing Registrar 'roll over' to the new one.
My son would love to learn about this.
I went to a live taping for a popular talk show host and was surprised to see how much they prodded the audience into cheering at the correct times for the hosts's jokes. I always knew that some of it was fake, but they really, really worked hard to make sure the audience applauded at the right time and for the correct length of time.

It left a sour taste in my mouth because I genuinely think the audience would have cheered for most or all of it anyhow, but knowing how it was forced really ruined it for me.

It fits 100% in what he's saying. The API grants the developer of the application access to the account history of whoever's logged in. This in no way establishes they are selling anything to any third-parties.
There are lists that can block these popups, if that's really your main concern. Still, I think saying that they're the bigger problem than the pervasive tracking they try to protect their users against, including only casual users, is a bit much.
There are host-managed SMR drives, which share a number of characteristics with flash storage.

Introduction to Rosserial_arduino: Connecting Arduino to ROS

We rely on bash.

Each machine that's spun up is built from scratch via one command-line call. The first half of the process interacts with each hosting API (we rely on DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr primarily), to build a clean slate machine with all of the packages and libraries that we expect.

The second half of the process runs the actual build process, building the instance step-by-step on top of the clean slate, blissfully unaware of which hosting provider it lives on.

This model allows us to be portable and avoid vendor-lock in, and a cross-provider infrastructure lets us gracefully handle system failures while keeping costs down.
In my case I found I was already starting to write Ruby in a very functional way (PORO which is like POJO, only setting properties at object instantiation, focusing on data expressed in built-in classes instead of custom classes, etc.) and that seemed to ease the transition quite a bit.

I've found that "immutability all the way down" has eliminated an entire class of bugs related to unexpected mutation, deadlocking/concurrency issues, etc.
This has also been my experience. I think a meta here is that the vast majority of cab drivers don't, and can't, own their cab. Medallion cabs, for instance, are sold based on bids and have gone for upwards of $2 million and as "low" as around $500k. And in some places they have government granted monopolies meaning playing this game is the only way to drive a cab.

So most drivers rent their taxi, often by the day. And since fares are front-loaded (you earn a lot more picking up 100 people for 5 miles, than 1 person for 500 miles) it creates an incentive for taxi drivers to go crazy. Granted that same pressure is ostensibly there for Uber drivers, but I think it's different when your car is your car rather than a temporary asset you just dropped a fair chunk of change to rent for a single day.

Somehow transportation, world wide, always ends up in these sort of scummy monopolistic rackets.
Can one of you please clarify what does it mean "free" in this context?

If I want my API to alternatively use ASN.1/DER instead of HTTP for encoding/decoding its traffic, are there are any licensing / copyright dangers in doing so?
The addon was abandoned by its author because Mozilla was making major changes to the addon API at the time. Extensions used to have carte blanche to change the browser, which was a security risk, not to mention it made threading/parallelizing the browser hard. The new extension API removed a lot of that freedom. After the API change, it wasn't possible (and might still not be) to develop a useful tab groups addon with the new API, so the author ceased development.

I can't imagine Mozilla crippling the addon API to the point where it can't grab data off an RSS feed and display it.
Most new mice, yes. I use an original Logitech MouseMan 3-button mouse with no scroll-wheel. I realize I'm an outlier, but no mouse has ever come close in terms of comfort for me - so I continue to use it, and life has been just fine until the advent of the Overlay Scroll Bar.

I realize the benefits of the Overlay Scroll Bar to the majority of users who have scroll-wheels. But it sure would be nice if there was an easy way to revert back to the Normal Scroll Bar ("Classic" scroll bar?). You know, the wide bar that scrolls down exactly one page-length if you click outside of the bar? I've spent plenty of time Googling and in "about:config" and exporting environment variables like GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0 to no avail.
“Not that widely used" is an incredibly elastic term. When you axe twenty "5% features" your worst case is offending 100% of your users.

I have used Firefox since the early 2000s, and it has been frustrating to see performance get worse even as my hardware gets better. I realize that this is mainly the fault of bloated websites, but I can also see that Chrome and Safari are faster than Firefox.

I recently switched to Brave Developer Edition [1], which now supports Chrome extensions (which I need for work/pleasure). It runs circles around Firefox and Chrome, and maintains my privacy better.

Previously it was a tradeoff of getting speed (Chrome) or maintaining privacy (Firefox). For me, Brave does better on both counts, and now that it supports extensions I'm completely sold.

Is there a company, equivalent (or larger) in size to InVision, that is an example of a remote work org.? $100M ARR isn't anything to scoff at, but I'm not sure InVision's success (so far) puts the nail in the coffin to the idea of a non-remote work org.

I think I liked the more triangle shaped tabs as well, but w/r/t Firefox, there was a recent release (couple of months ago?) where the tab-bar was all kinds of jacked up. Maybe it was just a short-lived bug or something... what it was, it looks a lot better now.
Yep, things were better in the good old days.
In that sense control flow only exists as the relation between other things, so it makes sense for it to be denoted that way. If a line with no code on it is indented in the forest and nobody hears it, does the line execute?

We used to call this "critical thinking"
I largely agree, but I think people generally underestimate the abstractive power of (typesafe) Go and overestimate the cost of its abstractions.

Generally Go's abstractions are based on dynamic dispatch (virtual function calls) which are quite cheap and are the basis for most other languages' abstractions. There are languages like Rust and C++ which offer zero-cost abstractions and generally beat Go in performance and abstraction power, but lose in other ways. If you're comparing Go to Java, C#, Haskell, OCaml, Python, JS, and Ruby, Go performs on par or better.

As far as abstractive power, Go does quite well, although there is still some _boilerplate_ (for loops and closures); however, this is generally not where your bugs come from (certainly not your troublesome bugs) and boilerplate is consistent by definition. I think the biggest reason Go's lack of generics irks people is because they want _terse_ code, because terseness is the most obvious (but least useful) kind of DRYness. The next biggest reason is more legitimate--getting a lot of typesafe abstractive power out of Go requires a different bag of tricks (and a different way of thinking about abstraction) than languages with generics.

I know my experience is anecdotal. So is yours. Just shared what I've observed 30+ times now.
The new API browser.menus.overrideContext is announced with documentation links pointing to blogs, including a personal blog page with unrelated Japanese texts and anime pictures. The official documentation (MDN) has no reference to the new features. Even the API features from FF63 (august 2018) are only have a draft of documentation (e.g. Menus.getTargetElement). Documentation is important, even more for an API. I think this pattern is worrying.
For me, the problem is with how search is being gamed with content marketing.

Lately I cant manage to find any good articles using search - I very often do subsearch on hackernews to see discussions
Yea that was for Fedora-specific builds, in 65 it's now enabled for the general Linux release on their site.
Yes, that's a very good point.

In-depth interviews, early story tip-offs, and 'approved' leaks with accurate content aren't just a way to distribute information and build connections with reporters, they're a way to cultivate dependence. If 95% of unverified content is accurate, a reporter who can't get pithy 'official' quotes or advance warning on stories will consistently produce worse output than those who can.

It seems like a few particularly famous publications can push back because they're too big to shut out, though their individual reporters often still fold. (e.g. the NYT on Iraqi WMDs.) And there's a bit of room for dedicated 'dissenting' sources like The Intercept and CounterSpin, because they can curate a reputation as leak recipients and then fill out the rest of their schedule with media analysis instead of breaking news. But overall, first-line sources seem to be very effectively trapped by this pattern.

Looks like this task focused on binary sentiment analysis (positive or negative movie reviews) - have you tried this on something with a broader potential output space?

I would argue the opposite. You have less stuff to help you display your clunkiness and lack of ability.

It's like Mona Lisa vs. HN front page.

I tried it, it’s exactly what I’m looking for. But I’m only on mobile (iPhone) and while it works, based on the comments from others it seems a lot of features are not in the mobile version.

Personally, I would only use a tool like this on my phone. And I’d want it to be a native app, not a web app (I predominantly have terrible reception).

I like he note pad, but I’d also like the ability to stash lines, verses, choruses, etc and then rearrange them very simply. This is effectively what I do with the standard notes app for iPhone. When it’s reasonaly cemented I write it up in a very similar notation you’re using and put it into google drive, with offline enabled.

I use the motive app, and mic, to record a demo. And then start polishing it via GarageBand.

All of which can and is done via mobile only.

I’ll follow where this development goes, it’s definitely a tool I’m looking for.
