The US Economy is losing points, fast.

You will feel this shutdown. You haven't yet because macroeconomics and bureaucracy happen on scales longer than a month.

You'll feel it in the missing percentage gains this year for your investment portfolio (or its complete annihilation if the contraction turns into a depression).

You'll feel it later this year when you try to sort some federal paperwork and it takes them 3 weeks longer than normal because everyone at the department is a brand new employee, or they never managed to recover headcount because nobody wants to work for the Fed anymore.

You'll feel it when you head to Joshua Tree and it's missing a couple more trees than it should be, and they haven't yet managed to scrub off all the spraypaint.

Give it time. You'll feel the pain.
It must be nice to have an employer who is OK with your neither confirming nor denying your job responsibilities.
I use Navicat, and I'm very pleased with it.
Don't let its size intimidate you. Introduction to Algorithms is quite approachable and its chapters are pretty well self-contained.

I can have an unpaid TSA agent at the airport though, so I guess everything is fine.
And more importantly startpage.com is a European service while DDG is an American service. It's extremely important for us in HN community to keep promoting European services regardless of product considerations because anything American is by definition toxic and should not exist.
What you've been reading has been a gross mischaracterization on the issues. Less than one half of one percent of border patrol agents surveyed by the Senate Homeland Security committee want a wall (1), and that's because a wall won't change the situation. It is well known that the overwhelming majority of illegal immigrants arrived by legal means through a port of entry and overstayed their visa. It is also well known that immigrant populations in the united states commit less crime per capita than native born populations. The whole idea of the wall has been around since Mexico declared independence from Spain, and has long been rooted in racism and fear, not fact or data (2)

The TSA has operated overseas before, but probably not in these countries.

If they see a country isn't up to their standard, I think they either show up to implement it for flights headed to the US or at least consult with the nation.
>but when it was issued and when it "expires" absolutely do not.

Of course it does. A certificate is more than a key. It's an attestation that the signer verified that the subject was the one receiving the key. Without expiration dates, I only need to control the domain for a short period of time to get a certificate that says I am that domain forever.
An employee who has low tolerance for the massive randomness/unfairness in the world probably would get sick of most companies pretty quickly.

Another way to look at it that they're a ... human being, attempting to come to terms with a truly toxic and dehumanizing system.

In response to which my gut instinct is not to defend the system, as would appear to be yours. But to recognize, as the original author does, that the system truly is fucked.

And if we're to maintain our health and sanity -- at some point one has to simply decide to "just say no", and start looking for and building an alternative.
Can't edit but wanted to ask if my downvoters had anything to say? IMO calling something "indica" or "sativa" or "hybrid" is one-dimensional when trying to describe any of the (vast number of) possible subjective effects. (I'm suggesting that a little nuance goes a long ways)

Maybe the downvotes were for something else - honestly curious!
It's mostly true but there are definitely counterpoints. The late Senator John McCain is an example. He was the only reason the Affordable Care Act still stands, since it was his vote and his vote alone that rejected the attempt to wipe it out last year or the year before.
I prefer TablePlus personally, DBeaver just feels clunky in comparison.

It seems starkly short-sighted to infer that institutions like the EPA may not be "essential" when the anecdote you're replying to shows that they're stockpiling waste fuel. I would think such an act is dangerous in several respects.

I think that the original commenter is trying to say is that it's possible that their jobs won't be done if their shop has to close. They're already being impacted: their work time is being wasted. That makes the business less profitable and eventually this could affect everyone that works there.

Some of the jobs that "need to exist" are not people who work for the government.
Not committing to a Google product because one feels it will likely be killed is also okay. We’re all okay!

Wellll, the DSP I used to work on had 24-bit bytes. When we saved a data structure onto the SD card (that had 8-bit bytes) we had to decide what endianness to write the byte in. :-)
I'm also disappointed by progressives who don't acknowledge the role of the legislative branch in all of this, starting with Paul Ryan endorsing Trump back in June 2016.
Last check, 56% blame Trump, 36% blame Democrats. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-14/trump-too...
Strange, last I checked there isn’t a bill on the President’s desk. The shutdown has now cost more than Trump wanted to spend on border security to begin with.

If it wasn’t clear that everyone here is just playing politics, it should have been after Nancy’s letter to Donald about the SOTU.

But your last paragraph says it all. If you believe, without any evidence, that the President of the United States is a foreign agent, talk about it on /r/politics please.

Same, it's magic. Works perfectly.

Only annoying part, UptimeRobot spits out some warnings, "Your certificate is set to expire soon..." but thanks to auto-renew I don't have to do anything about it.
Congress can end the shutdown tomorrow, if 2/3rds of the House & Senate are willing to vote on a spending bill. The executive branch is unnecessary.

This is just not true. For example, some bugs are so rare that you can't hope to reproduce them by just looking at "a live running instance". In this case, print debugging can be the only practical way to go.
Do someone have a dataset about how do behave micro/radio waves when they interact with matter ?
Good question.

Government waste is frustrating as hell to me as a taxpayer. I believe, however, in spending money to protect our quality of life in the long term.

For instance:

If the EPA and all environmental legislation ceased to exist tomorrow, you wouldn’t be able to tell in a month, or even a year.

author of the post here! happy to answer any questions
Thank you for all your comments (across many threads) that are helping to destigmatize these issues. ADD/ADHD and stimulant treatment is an especially loaded one. A lot of peoples' personal experience with stimulants is, "oh yeah I took Adderall during finals in college and went on a giddy cleaning spree--no way we should medicate our kids with meth". Every person's physiologic response to stimulants is unique--and as you say, some people (like me) really and truly need them to function and be themselves.

That being said, I can relate to the sentiment that stamping a red ADD on a kid's forehead, loading their bloodstream with amphetamines, and sending them back to the same mismatched school environment (with little/no other plan of action) is not a recipe for success. It wasn't for me, anyways.

Perhaps my hindsight is a little distorted, but I think a more personalized and interactive educational experience would have been the single most effective way for me to blossom educationally (and consequently emotionally). My drive to learn has always been there, but the differences based on environment, subject matter, and social setting were extremely stark. I outright failed some classes and almost got kicked out of school. At the same time in other HS classes (e.g. computer programming, web design, project-based business mgmt. class), I went above and beyond. I bought a C++ game programming as a 12-year old (and I built my own computer, with a friend)--the ambition was there, but that book is still sitting on my shelf unread. No one identified that interest as something that needed adult encouragement, so my adolescent passion for programming died on the vine.

To what extent to you (or others) study this sort of thing (i.e. personalized education for ADHD kids)? In particular, I'm intrigued by the potential of things like intelligent tutoring systems, experiential education, explorable/interactive explanations (AR/VR?), biofeedback/BCI, and so on. Are you and others bullish or bearish on these sorts of technological solutions to ADHD?
I really appreciate the time you took to put together that solid response! Definitely learned a lot. It makes a lot more sense now for why USPS is facing the $3.5M judgement since they were made aware of the license issue and continued with printing/distribution.
It's more like: There are so many candidates with impostor syndrome. I don't want to hire another turkey.

So, I will come up with a little problem which is something related to the work they'd be doing - like, a real thing they would have done if they where hired a month ago. (hmm, I wonder how they would have fixed jira-123)

I'm not looking for "the answer" - I'm actually hoping they don't know it (if they do, great: here's another...), but.. do they have what it takes to solve a problem? How much hand-holding would they need? Am I able to have a technical discussion with them? Even, where are they on the passive<->arrogant scale?

This, among other questions, will answer "How can this person help the team ship working software that solves the problem of our customer?"

Job history and qualifications don't tell me this.

If a candidate feels they're too important or experienced to do this, then by all means walk away.

Challenges to Philip Rosedale's “VR Could End Smartphones” Argument
For any social network to work you’d need most of your connections to get onboard the same thing, whether it’s Facebook or anything else. It’s easy for some people to start emailing their friends but it’s hard to imagine that the general public start doing the same thing, and without that, the alternative won’t go very far.

In fact I’d find it much more annoying than Facebook if I start receiving such emails from friends.
Kinda a weird speed for an alien artifact too

It is a weird speed for a probe that has been recently launched to be going. It is the speed you'd expect "junk" that has been floating in speed for long time to be going, getting slingshotted from star to star until it's speed adds up to the average of the wide area it's in.

Of course, does being bounced from star to star mean the thing was built for that or is it just something could happen at random.

Awesome. Can't wait for the Amazon hosted version.
I think it's interesting to think about this in the context of term limits.

Athenian offices were strictly term-limited, except for the position of general. People apparently felt that having military experience in that role was more valuable than the benefit of term limits would make up for, and it's hard to blame them for that.

But the general, able to serve for life, the only island of stability in the government, accumulated all the political power. This mostly defeated the purpose of having term limits on any office.

American presidents are term-limited, but American political parties aren't, and policy -- in terms of the solutions, but also in terms of the questions that get asked -- is set by the parties. I think this is more than just a coincidence.

On the other hand, Senators and Congressmen are not term-limited, but they don't seem to accumulate much in the way of political power.
> On the flip side, if Apple isn't crushing everybody else, it's because they misunderstood typical users and thought they wanted a tiny phone on the wrist, rather than a watch.

I think Apple didn't really have a strong focus in their original vision for Apple Watch, and threw stuff on the wall to see what would stick; the same was true for users who expected an iPhone on their wrist. However, it quickly became clear what Apple Watch was good for and what it didn't do well, so, recognizing that, Apple Watch has started selling quite well.

Key words being "seem to," which is due solely to a marketing construction. They make devices that you can't (realistically) develop for without giving your credit card or bank information. When the iPhone was released, you couldn't even use the device at all without an iTunes account with payment information.
I use jet brains Datagrip as well. It is great (for PostgreSQL) but the big issue is, it cannot connect MySQL database in utf8mb4 encoding. The issue is there for years. Dbeaver is great, there is no such issue to connect utf8mb4 MySQL!
Actually, from a photography aspect, that's more of a bug than a feature because it's creating weird artifacts when photographing a strong IR source.
First you'd have to prove that it was, in fact, the nacho cheese that it was claimed to be. I am betting lots of companies would be happy to toss random chemical solvents without any environmental oversight into whatever tanks they thought could hold it. Witness the Silicon Valley superfund disaster, for one.

Swoole looks exactly like some node.js code. The problem is that node has promises and async await while swoole/php has only callbacks right? No other mechanism..

That makes node a lot nicer to do async.

Whilst I'm sure you're right, I can't think of a single instance where a compromised private key was used to impersonate a website through MiTM.

2+ year expiry on certificates has been pretty commonplace until LetsEncrypt's 90 day policy.

It's absolutely possible that this could occur, but practically, the difference between a correctly issued but expired cert and a non-expired one is minor.
They key difference (should be the key metric) is exactly how badly the dissenting minority gets treated. By that measure, California is at the "not too bad, but shows some disturbing trends" stage.
Same here, it's hard to beat. And with the addition of MongoDB support, it's really a complete tool for my team.
Certificate expiry is intended to address things like:

* If at some point in the certificate's life it was leaked, but you didn't notice and so didn't get it revoked.

* If there are old certs kicking around and you're not sure of the details. e.g. previous owners of the domain, previous sysadmin who was careless with their recordkeeping, and suchlike.

* If a certificate has been revoked, but CRL distribution isn't as good as we'd like so people don't know about it.

* If certificate issuance rules have updated/tightened, e.g. SHA1 Deprecation.

* Limits the ability of CAs to back-date certificates to get around rule tightening (which they shouldn't be doing anyway, of course, but might hope to do undetected)

All of these are slow-moving security issues, so you're no more at risk the day after the cert expires than you were the day before. And hopefully not many sysadmins have problems like lost certificates, which makes the protection cert expiry offers seem redundant.
eDNA is one of the more creepy things you can think of in a dystopian future e.g. you can engineer humans to require a specific synthetic amino acid that doesn’t appear in nature this is essentially a potential biological DRM.

While applying it to humans directly is unlikely applying it to be some sort of DRM for drugs to prevent generics from working is quite a realistic possibility.
I would say this is very much NOT the case for the Democrats. The Democrats have at least two factions (Bernie/AOC/etc vs. the established Democrats) that really don't agree with each other on a number of issues.

The Republicans are far more unified. It is both their strength and their weakness.
My favourite part is that some of these sites are effectively blocked by chrome due to HSTS (e.g. manufacturing.gov), which renders them unusable for most.
When the notAfter date rolls around, the CA is no longer obligated to include the certificate in CRLs (or OCSP responses). Effectively, when a certificate is expired, it is no longer possible to detect whether or not it was revoked.

Expired certificates must therefore be treated with at least the same alarm as revoked certificates, which is the most severe status condition you can return (as it could mean "we believe someone else to have access to the private key").
Bumper stickers and flags?

Those were two of the things that were mentioned.
This "print debugging is bad" idea never made sense. Debugging is largely an effort to understand what's going on inside a program - having the program "talk back" to you via prints can be a great way to do this.

Sometimes, print debugging is the only practical way to fix a bug. For example, very rare bugs which can only be reproduced by running many instances of the code for a long time, or situations where attaching a debugger is not feasible (as in live services).
On the plus side, in the US they generally don't shackle you in view of the jury, it takes a unanimous vote to convict, and the prosecution can't drop surprise evidence at the last second.

I'll take those over tea.
I think their point was that the ticking time bomb is only caused by regulations, which they can no longer comply with. The situation would be better for them if they could just get the oil recycled from their typical tank, but they need approval for that, so they are falling back to using drums in the parking lot.

I doubt any of us trust companies to do the right thing most of the time, but I think we all agree some regulations are dumb, and a loss for everyone except the people whose jobs depend on them.

For clarity, I have no idea if the tank inspection is a dumb regulation. And I realize without the regulations, they'd probably be dumping the oil behind the shop somewhere which we obviously don't want.

My dad did the same with Magic: The Gathering. It actually would've worked okay (though still probably not as good as investing in an S&P 500 index fund), except that he died, my mom knew nothing about M:tG (or negotiating, for that matter), and she took the first lowball offer from a card dealer she ran across. He made a nice 80% profit off of them, at least.

On the plus side, I had a lot of fun showing off & playing with my dad's "investment" as a teenager.

Thats cool. I wanted to do something similar with ESP-8266 to track visitors in a tourist attraction I worked for. But as it turned out it was illegal by law because a law forbids to track people through "electromagnetism". As it turned out it the reason for the law was to not make it possible to track people in their apartments by registering wherever they where watching TV and similar stuff.

We never wanted to track an individual person and would have hashed the MAC, nor did we want to get any data from them (phone brand or whatever). We wanted to be sure to not have more than 1000 people in the building (another law) and for security reasons we did not have turnstiles at the exit.

At the end we had to use cameras that counted heads...

> To what extent does the mostly single party state of California influence the world economy?

California is not a “mostly single party state” other than in the sense that any state with a current legislative majority party is.

The California Republican Party, sure, has done a horrible job keeping voters over the last decade, following the national party on its rightward march faster than voters on the state were willing to support. But they aren't systematic excluded by government in the manner of a single-party state, and while they are a weak minority in state government, much government in the state is done at the local level, and Republicans still dominate local government in substantial swathes of the state. And, unlike in a single-party state, there are no structural barriers to the state Republican Party becoming more competitive if it chooses to actually try, rather than hewing to the orthodoxy of a national party far out of line with California voters.
As a Canadian, I would have absolutely no problem saying the word 'beaver' at work.

You are unique in that respect then in my experience. I don’t do this in interviews and afaik have never seen this kind of bias against people who study for interviews. It doesn’t make sense to me to discount people who prepared.
