From your posts, it’s clear that the founders and c level are either checked out, or out of their depth. Seems to be more the first one. Maybe the founders already had a nice payday, or were rich beforehand. No solution unless they’re fired or step down.
I posit that the administrations themselves are causing an increase in these "real needs" through constant coddling of young adults. Kind of like a doctor that keeps giving you bad advice so you keep coming back with your "real needs."
when we were talking about the internet competing with newspapers back in the day.. What we see now isn't what we wanted. It's still mostly the same entities in control. In a sense, the internet lost.
I was going to mentioned Scenic...
The only dependency Scenic needs is OpenGL driver.
I was never able to build Erlang's wx app on my Ubuntu laptop, but with Scenic it just works out of the box.

IMO Tk's canvas widget can be relatively easily ported to Scenic as both based on retained mode graphics, only in Scenic each item on the canvas will be represented by a gen_server.
Presumably there's a "breakout" burr on the outside surface of the metal which indicates that the drill bit emerged through that surface.
It's a stream based cipher, so you'll get the same amount of blips as you'd get with normal bit damage. Difference is probably that you can get a whole missing frame as a blip instead of just missing pixels, because the stream key operates on frames instead of single pixels.
Exposing Floating Point
Idk. If the corporations cared so much they would be pushing a conservative message down our throats all day and trying to get more of their people elected in government

This is literally what happens every day in 2019 America. I invite you to spend five minutes learning about the American Legislative Exchange Council, how ALEC writes state-level legislation, the Republican project "REDMAP", and how they all fit together.

Here's one story: https://billmoyers.com/story/alec-koch-industries-gerrymande...

If they wanted “lower taxes” to be the biggest issues they have all the power to make it happen.

You really don't follow politics, do you?
Its interesting that nobody does a SHOW HN on their rootkits on Hackernews

Instead third party stuff like this comes very occassionally

The name is a misnomer
What I meant was that this hypothetical civilisation supposedly flourished in a particular environment. If their actions altered that environment radically enough to wipe them out, AND wipe out all traces of their existence, then that would be an interesting idea to consider
If either party would start concentrating on free speech issues, they'd have my attention.

But these days, once you get past the five-second sound bites and the rhetoric, there is very little difference between what Republicans and Democrats actually do.
Hmmm, looking at the post from u/voltagex_, I'd suggest changing the URL to https://media.ccc.de/v/35c3-9561-first_sednit_uefi_rootkit_u..., and changing the title to "First Sednit UEFI Rootkit Unveiled".

The original URL (https://threatpost.com/uefi-rootkit-sednit/140420/) looks like a short writeup, but I'm not sure if it adds any new content. And given the tendency to link back directly to source, it's probably worth a change.
Just wait until they deprecate Objective-C :(
>Is there a way for people to learn to be good negotiators?

Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss is the best book on negotiation I’ve ever read, and it’s also pretty entertaining. I negotiate a lot at work, and that book helped me quite a bit. The negotiation style he advocates, aside from being effective, is also very personable. Which is great if you don’t have the stomach for the (less effective) sleazy and aggressive styles.
Self-actualized, high-value, "expert" labor (surgeon, physicist, business owner), requires a person willing to work hard, relatively abstract motivations (prestige, memory of a loved one, etc), with a potentially unlimited ability to delay gratification.

Self-actualized, high-value, "skilled" labor (nurse, programmer), requires a person willing to work, motivations are varied, some requirement to delay gratification, but not limitless.

Weakly-actualized, minimal-value, minimally-skilled labor (bar tender, data entry "content" producer), requires minimal willingness to work ("just keep a roof over my head, please"), motivations are varied in direction and caliber, minimal requirement to delay gratification (but may paradoxically suffer severe lack of gratification relative to the surgeon by age 50)

Weakly-actualized, low-value, minimally skilled labor (Guatamalan mountain family growing what they eat, contributing minimally if at all to external society): requires minimal motivation (external motivation to survive is entirely sufficient), gratification isn't even an issue. Ref (1)

De-humanizing, moderate-value, unskilled labor (Guatamalan working in a concrete plant in Mount Pleasant, Iowa). Requires tremendous motivation to get to Mount Pleasant, gratification is highly delayed (scrap by, send all money home, hope it gets there). You can imagine how these immigrants' children become doctors and business owners. Ref (1)

My apologies for those who suffer in the "bullshit job" economy. Maybe at some point you'll be the director of a PR firm or something. I would point out though that if you want a "strong storyline" to your life, there are options. Moving to Guatamala being one of them.

A lot of high-profile ones do, but "most" is probably not true. There are a lot of very quiet, very angry billionaires out there.
One perspective is that while the job you were doing wasn't particularly fulfilling or exciting, it was just a summer job, not a career. The interesting and demanding part is the bit in the middle you weren't trusted with; that part requires a lot of training and expertise, if not an engineering degree and many years of experience.

If you put yourself in the position of this not being a summer job, but a real job, then it would likely not be a career either. It would be a stepping stone to working on areas with more responsibility, allowing you to pick up expertise with the full operation of the production line. You would have to have zero ambition to do it for your entire life, and I've not seen many people who did; there's always progression and more responsibility even for those who don't have a good education, but do have a desire to improve themselves and show they are capable.

I used to work in a brewery, as an analytical chemist, but this also involved some time on the bottling and canning lines taking samples and calibrating the equipment, so I did see a lot of what went on, from the depalletisers loading the empty cans and bottles onto the conveyors, to the fillers, pasteurisers, labellers and the packaging and warehousing. They did employ a number of temporary workers to do some of the simpler stuff, like what you were doing. But since each line was several million pounds worth of state of the art German engineering, the people operating and maintaining it were well compensated for their expertise. If you'd stayed, then you could have worked your way up the ladder to do that, perhaps including part time study for an engineering degree or industry-specific qualifications.

A lot of industries like this do have good prospects for career progression. But they do require time to be served at the bottom before working up the ladder. And even the bosses have to do the menial stuff when required from time to time; I've seen the production site manager doing your job when they were caught short-handed. One of the great things about this environment is that you have everyone working across a whole site in synchrony to make the whole process work; and on the site I worked at, it was a great place to work.
Not the OP, but: lots of sigils. Dozens of macros.

It's a huge language.
Its good that none of the suspects could leave the station, due to the hostile weather outside- assemble them all in the salon, if you would be so kind. Yes, include the maid, the butler and the gardener.
By the simple powers of deduction, we shall corner the culprit.

First, applying force to the station, by escaping air, should register as a slight change in vector to the instruments. So we can deduct the exact time the vector occurred first.

Now at the time of the incident we had the following personal on station.

Anne McClain
Commander Oleg Kononenko
David Saint-Jacques

We shall find the culprit, my dear Watson, it is only a matter of time.
> So is your position that all copyright should be eliminated? Or, that censorship is good but only for a limited amount of time? Or...?

I just stated a logical fact.

Understanding the interference rules of ZFC does not enable you to prove the Riemann hypothesis.

Understanding the standard model does not enable you to build a transmutation engine.

Understanding that copyright is censorship does not enable you to come up with a visionary plan what the best political steps are to handle this truth.

---

But I personally think that it would at least be a small step into the right direction if people would internalize that free speech and copyright are contradictory to each other.
Ah, interesting video! Now I've got something to watch/listen to while I'm on the bus today.
Don't confuse copyright with trademarks.

Mickey Mouse is still trademarked. The movies and books are copyrighted.

Also where have you been for the last hundred years where knock-off Disney everything has been the norm?
This site is great. It's clean, easy to read, and looks professional.

It's hard for me to evaluate how useful this would be to my workflow without seeing the API, and it looks like I have to actually run the app to do that. It might be worth putting a copy on the website.
And if you like good Hacker News discussion threads, then please stop spamming us with your podcast.
As an iOS developer, I feel the same. To quote Steve Jobs:

“This is a field where one does not write a principia, which holds up for two hundred years. This is not a field where one paints a painting that will be looked at for centuries, or builds a church that will be admired and looked at in astonishment for centuries. No. This is a field where one does one’s work and in ten years it’s obsolete, and really will not be usable within ten or twenty years.”
Not every sample, just samples over a particular length.
Well sure, you can set up your own servers but no-one else will know about them and you won't be part of the "the DNS system" as such.
Okay that's pretty sweet actually. I write a lot of legacy-compatible code, so I'm kinda behind on Py3. Maybe that's my 2019 project.
Where are the arrests of the employers?

Until that happens, this is all a charade.
I feel compelled to mention: The actual crime in identity theft is fraud, and you are not the victim. E.g. a bank gave a loan to the wrong person. They lost money. But they call it 'identity theft' to move the damage to you.
Ask yourself, does the world really need more Superman?
Tell that to Google, which presented a report at Linux Kernel Summit 2018, where 68% from Linux kernel CVEs are caused by C's memory corruption features, and has been pushing for the Kernel Self Preservation Project on Linux.

The videos are freely available.

As for hating C's lack of safety features, it goes back to the earlier 80's from Algol/Pascal/Modula-2/Ada side.

So no, it isn't something new, just now the always on Internet and IoT adoption are making it relatively easier to prove our point.
Ask HN: Are OrFox/Orbot really secure on Android?
When running Panopticlick tests using Orbot & Orfox on Android, the results are not as strong as when using Tails - the browser fingerprinting test shows as "partial protection" when using Orfox rather than "protected" when using Tails. My question is - can the Orbot/Orfox/Droid combo really be secure when the it could be argued that the endpoint (my phone) is compromised by definition of it being an unrooted Android? Thanks in advance.
This seems ironic, coming from a platform which profits from emotional contagions and degrades mental health.
Well, it allows people to make Mickey Mouse stories. Conceivably, some of them might be good, at least by some standard of goodness.
Imagine if the heirs to the Brothers Grimm were still collecting checks on their stories. Imagine if Shakespeare was still copyrighted and you had to pay the man each time you put on a play or taught the material in class.
The One Issue the Left and Right Can Agree On: Monopolies
Another example is the success of DVCS like Git in open-source development (despite GitHub / Gitlab being dominant hosts).
I spent so many hours playing Wintermaul back in the day.
When I worked in design, I was always a fan of clean, modern, Swiss inspired design. But, that was mostly print (magazine ads, direct mailers, etc). When I moved into GUI design (early 00's), I went overboard on beveled, 3D, overly ornate designs. As did many people.

"Flat" design was a natural response to the endless bevels. Which, was also taken to an extreme. iOS 7 was, imo, the worst representation of this. The icons, the palette, and especially the entirely-too-thin font weights were all awful.

I think a flat base design, with dimension added in appropriate areas is a happy medium for GUI's. I'm still on MacOs 10.12.6, which I think represents this pretty well. As does the the Material Design widgets. Even if I think they're a little boring stock.
It can do it, but what's easy in Maya is kind of clunky in Blender.

Maya does a few things that are great that Blender should totally steal, and one of them is having really easy driven keys.
MySQL isn't Y2K38 ready
And they’ll be able to do the same with Steamboat Willie when it arrives in PD. What’s the difference?
I've never once in my life been able to give real informed consent to a physician, because I've never had one able to inform me quantitatively of the risks and benefits of accepting or refusing treatment. So like, I assume, everyone else I pretty much just have to take what the doctor says on blind faith. Since the vast majority of physicians are good people who actually want to help their patients, I'm not entirely uncomfortable with this, but it's still troubling given how many people die every year as a result of interventions or complications thereof.
I have to admit that I did not have emacs in mind. With 1.6M lines and 934 contributors we can consider it a sizeable project. https://www.openhub.net/p/emacs

Now, unsuitable does not mean impossible. It is just harder than with other languages. Which means you will hit a complexity ceiling earlier.

Also, Emacs is just a text editor and platform for anything. Java with Eclipse has eclipsed (hihi) it. Why hasn't the Emacs community made it into a real IDE with refactoring for example? They certainly have been challenged often enough. Why have multiple companies built new IDEs from scratch instead of building on Emacs?
Estimating the chance of Supreme Court turnover, how likely?
Funny you should call this out: As an undergrad I got to choose between a prob & statistics path and a complex math / advance calc path. I took the complex math path. However, I was required to take a semester on engineering methods that touched on statistics, but that was part of one semester. As a grad student, I went down the numerical methods path for parallel computing. Not as many classes as undergrad, but still.

College: RPI. Graduation year: '91.

Transmission's native Windows port is relatively recent. There was technically an unofficial "qt" port before that one, but it was outdated and never felt great. Transmission was designed as a Mac-first program, and it really shows.
“Baby, It’s Cold Outside” and the Rise of Islamic Fundamentalism
These arrests are not criminal charges and no government agency is pursuing criminal charges even if Congress has codified some possible ones

Therefore, it is unlikely this higher bar or use of public resources will be pursued and thats the reason why

Launching and Scaling Data Science Careers
We should consider one other party: your credit card provider.

I've always believed that they should be the ones providing subscription management, because scummy "hope they forget to cancel!" business practices exist offline too, so Apple could never become the central place for managing all of your subscriptions.
> they wasted no time plugging the hole with epoxy and gauze. [from article]

>Sealed with epoxy and resin [from photo caption]

I'm kindof confused, was it resin-impregnated gauze?

I'm also curious: If the hole was in a more-critical location, like one of the station's modules, would that be the repair process? Or would they be doing welding in space?
Not really. It was most likely done on the ground.
I didn't know about that. Is the license legally required to be hired for all programming jobs, or just for jobs related to specific fields and government?
In practice, the key to avoiding logic errors tends to be well-considered interface design.

Not all languages are necessarily equally susceptible to logic errors, though, and C is rather middling in that regard.
Not "all" small towns are racist. Saying so is just ignorant.

I also think of all the values small towns have these aren't the forefront.
Sam Smith – Fire on Fire
This is a semi-serious suggestion as I am just a techie without enough background in the legal and political side of things, but it has always struck me that cities like Detroit and Buffalo struggle while they border the area that is the economic engine of Canada.

Could something along the lines of the schengen agreement be feasible between Canada and US border regions, making it easier for people and capital to flow between them? Not hard to imagine someone in Toronto trying their luck to start something up in Buffalo or Detroit where their costs would be a fraction of that in Toronto, but still allow them to remain close to home. People from those border cities that want to find better work in Toronto could do so more easily rather than having to move further away within the US. It would seem like a win-win for both sides.
>In that case, why do we have ~200 nations instead of a single world government?

The correct starting question is "why do we have 200 nations, instead of millions of individuals and families living autonomously?" and the answer is: human beings are basically tribal people, and military conquest.

And then the answer to your question about why 200 is that military conquest never got any farther before the atom bomb eliminated direct warfare between major nations.
Show HN: Productivity app for uninterrupted focus and automated reports
Hi everyone,

I've been involved in co-developing Clearminute as a side project for some time now. Today we finally released it on ProductHunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/clearminute

Clearminute is an app for productivity that starts off as an automated time tracking app. Our focus in the future will shift more and more in direction of gamification and rewarding of highly productive intensive work sessions. This is in contrast to existing apps that frequently optimize for the number of working hours per day.

The underlying believe is that an intense working session followed by quality time-off for relaxation is more productive than long working hours intertwined with distraction from emails, meetings, etc.

More on that topic: https://www.clearminute.com/blog/posts/uninterrupted-focus

Let me know if you have any questions or thoughts!

And have a great start in 2019!
I had assumed by everyone. As an American software engineer, I don't consider software engineering to be engineering because we don't have a professional body or licensing or standards. I didn't know Canada was any different.
Thank you for this!!
I don’t know what to say about that. I figured there were a multitude of opinions in Quora forums.
Wall Street Journal says there were a record number of Shareholder lawsuits in 2017 for reasons including disappointing earnings. Nearly 10% of traded companies faced one that year. It kind of seems like “a thing.”

If you’ve never seen rouge as misspelling of rogue, you haven’t read enough intertubes. Beyond that, I guess we won’t know until drmix intervenes - although now he’d say “of course!” it was voluntary ;)
Yes, that option was what I was talking about and it doesn't work on my work and home PCs.

Free speech doesn't make sense if you aren't a democracy. Public speech the government officially disagrees with is incitement of rebellion. In a democracy, there isn't this existential threat to the country. Given that you are a dictatorship, regulating speech to avoid insurrection is morally right.

> And the consensus seems to be "No."

Consensus is completely irrelevant when answering a moral question, unless it instrumentally affects the moral calculus.
I know sweden is known for it's great work life balance, but I know of a co-worker who had a very different experience. he joined a start up and had to work extremely long hours 60-80 hours, people working weekends, much like it's done in the US. In theorey it's illegal, but what are you going to do? Things got so bad at that company, he needed to leave. You can't assume all companies are the same in Sweden.
This is the approach I (try, and try and try and try) to take with my kids (6,4,2). I repeatedly tell them I will never be mad at them for mistakes, but they have to help fix them- whatever that may be. I also tell them I will get mad if they do it on purpose and/or I’ve instructed them not to do said thing that caused whatever issue. I try very hard to be explicit with instruction. Saying “be careful” doesn’t mean a whole lot, but saying “pour the water slowly and with two hands” can lead to a good result. Or “don’t jump off the couch because [insert reasons]”.

Frankly, they’re young and even when they’ve done something on purpose or are being bratty I try to coach them up again, sometimes I lose it and get mad- but I never use derision or name calling.

Losing it is usually just “Why? WHY?! Why did you just pull the step stool out and use the Christmas tree as a punching bag after I told you to stay back because it will fall over?!”

I use my logic brain to try and rationalize myself into a calm state, “well you told them to be careful with the jug of water, you didn’t say don’t pour it all over the dining room table”.

Man, they find some awesome ways to make a disaster sometimes...
Ok, 4.
I'm a bit skeptical of the median income being lower than rural areas. I could see median income relative to cost of living being lower, but median income by itself being lower would be shocking. Do you have a source on that?
That would be very hard to remove evidence.
How? It's still censorship.
Is the law really from 1743? I mean, it can make sense, but I would find it interesting if the law was really that old

Copyright claims that result in reduced access to media are censorship.
