In the intended use case, the lack of kernel-level caching can be a performance win. A database can do a better job of caching than the kernel can because it has a clearer picture of the expected access patterns. O_DIRECT in this kind of application makes a lot of sense.
Presumably a combination of name and email address is enough for "marketing" purposes for Marriott.

Less nefariously*, I did a bit of digging and in the UK, hotels are required to record an ID for aliens (ironically, there is no central ID system in the UK, which I assume is why it's for aliens only). If the liability is on the hotel in case of incorrect information, it makes sense they would require the most common form of internationally recognized ID (a passport).Italy has a similar system introduced in the 30's by the fascist govt at the time for keeping track of who was where when. If I were an international business,it would make sense to me to comply with the regulations everywhere rather than try selectively enforce it.

(Nefarious-ness of Marriott. Not necessarily a comment on trusting the people who came up with the law in the first place)
Yet. That we know of.
> "Just because she's Vietnamese and not white"

How can you say "just because"? Several other reasons were plainly listed?
There is sufficient evidence for both, and there is probably good reason to split them out (body and mind) and see them as different things that also work combined (body + mind). In this you might compare something like kambo to ayahuasca and ibogaine. They have many similar effects but have different ways of getting there (some more physical some more spiritual ,Kambo is probably not going to help with your childhood abuse, but it may help your high blood pressure, ayahuasca may help you process your childhood abuse and as a result lower your blood pressure.) If you look at something like 2cb vs lsd, lsd is found to be considerably more productive/creative than 2cb at subthreshold doses, but people often experience a much better "therapy trip" on high dose 2cb.

That's more or less why it's a pretty heated race to get a reliable solid state LIDAR. I think within a couple years we will have sub $2500 LIDAR units.
It's a semantic point. There are companies that have created business models that are based on open source software and the open source development model in various ways. But open source, by itself, is not a business model. [ADDED: Any more than "proprietary software" is a business model.]
It does have issues when it comes to getting users to do something they don't want to do, but it is more than good enough to communicate with users about something they actively want to do.

I have no interest in the former.
From the I'm-going-to-take-millions-in-VC-money-and-build-a-billion-dollar-unicorn perspective Open-Source will never make sense. I propose that it is the investment model that is flawed. Open-Source has many benefits that have nothing to do with making investors rich.
Noise is the other issue. I found a nice fanless switch, but my server was noisy for years until I got serious about fans and switched everything to 4-pin Noctuas with PWM set at 50%.
Ask HN: How does the US Gov shutdown affect your co?
I'm curious if the government shut down has had any effect on your businesses? If so, how do you handle it? Is this something you planned for?
I'm not certain - are you using orthographic or perspective rendering of the generated fields? I only ask because it seemed like the "source box" (I don't know what to call it - just something I saw as a wireframe in the Lorenz demo) seemed orthographic.

If so - it'd be nice to be able to switch between the two using the parameter controls or something; I understand why on a tool like this you'd want the orthographic view, but from an aesthetic perspective, having the perspective view would be nice to look at.

I'm not the audience, though, for this kind of tool - I barely understand what's being done (the math is way above my pay grade, but the simulation and visualization code is neat to see in action, and I could imagine potential artistic rendering uses for the tool).

EDIT: Looking at the code, it seems like you set up the camera to be in perspective mode - so I don't know why that "source box" thing I saw appears to be orthographic? Regardless, having both modes available might be useful (and maybe - on thinking about it - some kind of "bounding box" labeled grid on three sides?)...
Wow, I didn’t think about that - it applies to EU citizens even when not in the EU. And for a few types of business you have to have physical presence where you operate (hotels is one) so the EU can always force Marriott to pay up or extort the money from their business in the EU.
Why I Keep an ‘Accomplishments / Good Stuff’ List
I have found Dark Sky is great in populated areas (NYC, Denver, Houston), but Wunderground seems to do better outside of the metros (Lower Hudson River Valley, Catskills, Adirondacks -- you can probably tell where I live and work, now).
Oh, the current USB situation is much, much better. You can a) throw the "power-only" cables into the trash immediately and forget about them, b) look at the USB-A plug and the number of pins and see if it's USB 3.0 or 2.0. After that, assuming your cables aren't junk, you're fine: if you can plug it in, you can expect things to work.
> End of the day, these companies are either overcollecting for convenience or doing a poor job of collecting information for compliance purposes.

Or both. Overxollecting makes sense at a global level (all systems the same everywhere), but even if they only collect what they need they're clearly not treating it correctly
Will they be penalized? Was Equifax ever penalized?

The cost to them so far is some bad PR which will probably blow over. Especially for companies like Marriott and Equifax which have near monopolies (Marriott owns several smaller chains like Starwood and Ritz Carlton), this probably won't affect their customer loyalty. Particularly when it's safe to assume that the other chains are probably not doing a better job.

Marriott currently has no incentive to spend money to do a good security audit.

They had incentive to do their recent migration of loyalty programs, since Starwood's program was notably generous.
You're right, I was working on an edit to address the problem while you wrote your comment :)
I always laugh when I see advice in posts like these as it assumes an altruistic working environment. In most of the companies I've worked at in the SF Bay Area, how a manager behaves in an organization is based on how his manager behaves. It is all top-down all the way from the CEO. If your CEO is an asshole, your 4th-level manager down the line will most likely be one too.
nothing starts for me. what are you using?
There is a lot of temporary email services constantly popping into the Internet every month. Some of them are open-sourced so one can make own quick disposable email or forwarding service with cheap domain. "Resistance Is Futile" - no way any exclusion list can keep up to cover them.
They're currently admitting to losing passport #s, but what else - like credit card info which they aren't supposed to keep in any case - might have been compromised?

I wouldn't let someone's knucklehead comment dissuade you from supporting something that would do a huge amount of good for people here in America.
I never argued the effectiveness of misleading business practices towards generating revenue or conversions. I feel that design can be misleading and user-antagonistic while still being the most effective solution for monetization. It is up to the creator/organization to make that decision, and that decision can be both financially effective and amoral/"scummy" at the same time. I cannot make that decision for the creator/organization, but I also feel no need to default to defending user-antagonistic practices just because "they work".
I'm confused. Are you suggesting that Fortran is a good environment for game development?

IIRC, California posts the annual disengagement reports at the end of January. It’ll be interesting to see if Tesla filed one for 2018. They didn’t report any miles driven in 2017. In 2016, they reported a small number of miles, maybe the number needed to record their FSD demo that they have on the Autopilot page.

Interesting because to me, LIDAR is an absolute necessity. Startups use cameras (+ radar) only because it's technically and financially "easier" than other technology. I don't know of any company with Level 3 and above self driving capabilities not using LIDAR (though I would love to be proved wrong because that would be awesome to see)
That's not what the GPL is about at all. No (OSI-approved) open source license has the distinction that you draw and one that did wouldn't be approved. (And it wouldn't be an open source license in the eyes of the Free Software Foundation either.)

Ask HN: Open source tax calculator?
I want to create a budget application for my own personal use cases. I'd like to be able to calculate both withholding and end of the year taxes. Are there any open source libraries that would help me do this? I'd prefer python or C++, but would work with any language.

If that's what you were talking about in the first place, fair enough and my apologies.
I have used their services once and it seems like the biggest issue is that remote therapy probably isn't as beneficial as being in-person. The prices are high for what you get and good luck trying to figure out how to make a claim to your insurance with them.

I googled the author, Patrick J. LoPresti, trying to know more about him and what he is up to. I haven't looked deeply, but I found this easter egg on the game Wasteland 2 [1]:

1992 M.I.T. Class Ring
Description
2 city skylines are etched along the edges of this gold ring.
The face features a busy beaver. The name "Patrick J. LoPresti"
is engraved in script on the interior.

I wonder if it's a tribute because of his joke.

Companies saddle their mobile web experience with excessive animations, gobs of dynamic elements, screen-hogging navigation bars/sharing buttons/overlays, poorly-implemented infinite scrolling, etc, etc... and then they conclude that mobile web sites are bad and native apps are good.

People have forgotten that you can build a website that isn't a user-hostile SPA train-wreck.
> That is kind of deal breaker for me, when talking about 1+ ton metal box moving me around I will take "slow to market but not blind" instead.

The way Elon Musk tells it, they put it into production once it was safer per mile than human drivers. Which seems like a legitimate point.

You use something when it's better than what you would have to use in the alternative, not when it's 100% perfect with no possibility of ever making a mistake under any circumstances. Which is probably not even actually possible to do.

The problem is if human drivers kill more than 30,000 people in a year, it's not news, because it's been that way forever. But one autonomous car kills one person and it's the top story.
Asserts considered harmful (or GMP spills its sensitive information)
Dewayne Johnson's account is horrible in this way, despite being a super likable person: he's being essentially used by Under Armor to promote them, despite that company having shady ties to things like trophy hunting, which The Rock surely isn't aligned with. I find it curious how good folks get coopted by crappy corps.
Here are some rules of thumb that have helped me design strategies and tactics for my clients:

1) The already mentioned "what" and "how" distinction

2) Phrase the strategy as an already-completed state of being, that is false now but will be true when met

3) Each strategy can have only ONE supporting tactic (which can be a verby action statement)

4) Each tactic can have 2:n multiple sub-strategies.

5) A sub-strategy can support multiple tactics.

You end up with a DAG.

In engineering in particular, the biggest impediment is that technicians tend to describe tactics when trying to describe strategies. I'm often asking, "Yes, but what objective does that meet?" or some such in response. And sometimes their answer is circular - the objective that it meets is that it eliminates the absence of their favored solution. Some people honestly never understand past that point. You have to pick your battles.

Athough localstorage exists, I'd be very hesitant to store anything important/permanent there. So your no server web app will be pretty limited.

I do all the writing first thing when I sit down in the morning. Before I talk to anyone. I use a dot journal, kind of like a graph paper moleskin, but a dot grid. Date the left page and time. Do feelings. I’ll also note the weather, if it’s a special day or holiday and if people are around, who. Then I review the last few pages and I start musing. On the right page I title “<project name> todo:” and start making the list. As I roll over previous day unfinished tasks I x them out on previous day and see if they need to be reworded or broken out. Completed tasks get a check. The body of the left page is free space. Sometimes I’ll write out a conflict I am trying to process. Sometimes just list house chores. Sometimes I draw out process flow or network layouts. I try to empty my head of all the things I’m juggling so that before I say a word at “work” I am a clean slate without too much wonder.

I check things off and add new things during the day, but it’s usually not a lot of tasking unless there’s a crisis. A year in, crisis seems to be pretty rare now. No one else I work with does anything similar. It does frequently appear that I am ahead of risk by weeks before other people start clocking it. In the beginning the lists were all catch-up, and now they are sometimes about things coming in the next quarter.

I’ve been work journaling for years but I made this effort to formalize and structure at the beginning of the last year when moving into a startup with a lot of internal problems and some huge lifts. Jira was a lie and accountability was missing on all sides. I knew I wouldn’t survive without building my own consensus on truth.

I also did tutorials on architect handwriting to improve my clarity. It sounds silly, but my scribbles would vary a lot and now that structure really helps the process.

I think it’s had a net positive in all aspects of my life. It’s my favorite part of the day.
Out of curiosity, have they tried macro-dosing to be ineffective?

I have very little faith in main stream psychiatric care to provide anything other than blunt palliative options (often with lethal conseuences).
This isn't how asymmetric encryption works - government would store public keys, users would manage their own private keys +/- passphrases. If there was a breach at central storage, the only thing that could possibly be taken would be the public keys which by definition are useless for anything other than verifying a signed message or encrypting a message to the holder of the private key.
Time intensive is the point. You can amortize the effort over multiple job applications so it is OK. If you can be the person who is doing something creative rather than watching TV then that can help you win.

I wouldn't get hung up on any particular application. I've seen cases where I overprepared for an interview and wound up being rejected because of my gender or other stupid reasons.

Privacy.com offers an easy way to spin up virtual cards. Keep in mind your bank (and cc processor, and/or the merchant) probably sells your transaction history, etc. to Google and other big data perverts.
In 1991-92 I was doing Unix programming by accessing the host using a terminal emulator on a 80286 PC with MS-DOS. I usually edited my code using vi, but when I compiled and got errors, I would correct minor errors using ed because it didn't erase the error message from the screen. I could quickly go to the line number specified in the error message and make the change. When I got upgraded to an X-Terminal with 19" screen, I changed to running vi or emacs in one window and compiling in another. I have never used ed again except for nostalgic fun. It's like working a puzzle to figure how to make the edits you need with the minimum number of ed commands. I never did use ed on a teletype, but that is where it would really shine.
Gosh, I wish that game had been popular enough to fund continued development. (Last time I checked in on it, it looked like it had stalled out.) I remember following the developer on Twitter and they had SO MANY good ideas. I bought the game and found it very fun, but:
- It felt like a 1.0, and really made me want a 2.0
- The difficulty ramped way too quickly. It started out as "Sir, you are being hunted.", but every time I played, after about 15 minutes, it seemed to ramp up to "SIR, YOU ARE BEING HUNTED!!!!!"
- Imagine the multiplayer possibilities. Like, if there were different teams being hunted. Some players are on your team, and some are your adversaries. Like imagine PUBG in this universe, but instead of a plasma wall closing in, there are ever increasing numbers of hunter robots spawning near the edge of a dwindling circle.
IGN unfiltered did a 3-part interview (IGN Unfiltered #17) with him as well that is worth viewing. Ryan McCafferty is a decent interviewer who shows a genuine love of the products and does his research:

Ah, that page reminded me ("[Edbrowse] was originally written for blind users") of my blind friend from high school who used ed (if connected to unix remotely) or the similar DOS program, EDLIN (to edit locally). This was around 1992. He had a laptop with a fancy add on card and BIOS which would do text to speech of whatever was in the video cards text-mode character buffers. He could have it read character by character if needed. (He wrote most of the C code for a programming competition we were in. He never indented though...)
>The point is, money doesn't have intrinsic value. You can't eat money or use it to plow a field, nor can money babysit your children. It's just a token we've all agreed to accept in exchange for giving up things that do have intrinsic value.

We are social animals, and our standing within the tribe is most certainly a resource to be extracted and utilized. How you utilize it is a different discussion, but influence and respect are undeniably parts of our software as human beings. Money is not a token we trade for things that have intrinsic value. We would have traded for these things before money was a thing, under a system of social credit. Everyone knows who's dependable and who sucks in the tribe, since you see and work with them everyday. Now that we're bigger than 200 tribe members, we need an abstraction to determine this: money.

The author comes to this conclusion about 4/5 of the way down:

>The money you've earned represents value you've contributed to society.

I agree with the author throughout most of the article until this thought:

>The point is, money spent on consumption is toxic — value-destroying.

It's like, yeah, if I eat my cake then of course I can't have it too, but I needed the calories, and the tribe is better off that I had the energy and means to be productive. The whole of section V is just weird to me. It would be like saying 'metabolism is toxic'. I mean, I guess it can be? There are waste products, and there's also energy. It's just a nonsensical conclusion that we get to in an otherwise well-written article.

>But as long as we're soul-searching, let's not forget to examine our spending habits as well.

Yeah, 100% agree. Thought-provoking read overall.
It's going strong enough to justify someone publishing a book on it [1] just last year.

I think you're purposefully ignoring the other issues that the writer has illustrated quite well in the article.

I was going to spend time citing points but you should be well aware of them by this point and I'd rather get back to work.
Valve wasn't "doing it right". What they did was deeply immoral and if there was any justice in this world many Valve employees would be rotting in prison. They knew their system was promoting gambling to children and they thought that was great. Valve is a despicable company.
> No PWA competes with a native experience.

Sure they do. Consider Reddit's website (well, before the atrocious UX updates the past few months) vs. their mobile app. It work(s)/(ed) perfectly fine.

There's literally no reason to use their native app (well, other than their ridiculous, atrocious, never-ending prompts on their mobile website to use their native app).
Given that they have EU customers I imagine that yes, they’ll be penalised.
You mean like your bank account number, which is constantly typed into online forms of all sorts of websites. Or your credit card number, which you probably say verbally into the phone to pay your bills?

Truth is, lots of extremely sensitive data exists in insecure states all the time.
It's not a struggle to not drink (other than potential social impacts).

The problem is that once you start you have a set of well-worn reward pathways in your brain that want more of it.

A true cure would need to look at neuroplastic, genetic, and environmental factors that lead to an addiction response. But what's the point when you can just not drink, which is unhealthy anyway.
