Honestly, I'm a bit surprised that people on HN downvote literally anything that is neutral on Trump. "Orange man bad" is an epidemic that affects even the smart people.
Lets just say that it's a formality that I hope never gets put to the test :-|
He has no access to banking apps. I have a lot of oversight because he uses an e-mail account on a domain I own and he never did much with online banking, so I've been able to take those things over pretty easily. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you have access to someone's e-mail account. And, failing that, a durable power of attorney cuts to the chase right quick.

The harder problem is that we haven't taken his wallet and credit cards away... yet. I have threshold notifications set up on his cards, so I get a heads up on purchases over a certain amount. I'd like to find a way to block him from buying junk $39.95 dietary supplements by crippling his web browser some way.
This doesn't apply to any game yet, and may never. I would like to build it into my game. ARK at least used to have some sort of contest with large cash prizes, but I don't know the details.
Just a heads up on the site itself -- the height/width/clipping of your .header-background is glitching in Chrome for me so everything in the content body is blurry. Looks nice when i disable that element!
I am ready to believe that hygienic macros would have been difficult, but just using lisp macros should have been straightforward. Tbh, I think that templates were an adhoc, amateurish design decision.
People voting in such a referendum should still have the option to say "given these two leave options (and not, say, the fantasy one presented by Boris Johnson), I've realised they both suck and I'd prefer to just remain after all."

Having it as a ranked ballot with runoff allows the further refinement of distinguishing between options like:

- I'd like a soft Brexit, and if I can't have that, I'd prefer a hard Brexit over remaining.

- I'd really like to remain, but if I can't have that I'd rather a soft Brexit.

- I'd really like to remain, and I have no second choice.
I couldn't help but notice that by that logic auto insurance is a bad idea. Not only you have to be right that you get into an accident. But also you have to get into that accident before contract expires.

Would he pay premium for the options? - Sure. But that buys something. Limiting the loss vs shorting for example. Besides shorting isn't exactly free either.
PuTTYgen, being a Windows application, assumes that a mouse is connected and prompts the user to move the mouse to generate entropy during key creation.

By comparison, ssh-keygen documents the SSH_USE_STRONG_RNG environment variable -- but then recommends against its use (!) since it can cause key generation "to be blocked until enough entropy is available".
Part (b) of the same section adds this nugget:

> (b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the transmission in interstate or foreign commerce of information for use in news reporting of sporting events or contests, or for the transmission of information assisting in the placing of bets or wagers on a sporting event or contest from a State or foreign country where betting on that sporting event or contest is legal into a State or foreign country in which such betting is legal.

So if it is legal in your state to you to have casual betting (which is often the case, for example New York State excludes "casual" bookmaking [1]) and it is legal in the other state to have casual betting, then there's likely no conflict with the Federal law.

[1] https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/225.00, General Definitions, 9. "Bookmaking" means advancing gambling activity by unlawfully accepting bets from members of the public as a business, rather than in a casual or personal fashion, upon the outcomes of future contingent events.
The difference to me as a consumer is that Booking has commoditized its customer support to an infuriatingly low quality. Admittedly I don't use Air BnB often but I will go miles out of the way (literally and figuratively) to avoid dealing with their systems requiring "travel insurance" for what used to be simple customer service requests.
Have you seen the size of our vehicles? Of course! ;)
Anybody that has made even the slightest attempt to follow events knows that May tried alternative attempts to get a deal (including a framework signed off by all the Brexiters in her Cabinet) and the EU repeatedly rejected them.

Anybody that has a solid grasp of the facts knows that the issue is not that the EU "offered the UK nothing" but that the Irish government will veto any agreement which implies the creation of a customs border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and May's critics are equally adamant that the UK, including NI, must have a different customs regime from the ROI. It's not an issue of give and take, it's a matter of mutually incompatible red lines.
In some ways they are, like retail. The British Airports Authority used to be listed on the LSE as a retail stock, because Duty-Free Shopping (an afterthought in most US international airports) was such a big proportion of their revenues.
It seems like the second referendum will also fail if it still includes the "allow brown people into your country" part of being an EU member.
Great man-splaining of how synthesis works.

Pink Trombone has no phoneme mapping, you'd have to code all that by hand, and that's exactly what my original question was.
The city is actually unlikely to be affected significantly. Large banks already have subsidiaries in the EU or are in the process of setting them up. They will move a limited number of people (as few as they can get away with). A lot of the 1 trillion number will be back-to-back to the UK.

The impact on trading goods I think will also be limited. Past the initial logistical disruption, EU tariffs aren't massive outside of a few products, and this is nothing that cannot be offset with a weaker pound.

I think where a hard Brexit will hurt the most is small service companies, which aren't large enough to have operations within the EU, and which won't be able to cover the EU from the UK.
I would think that outsourcing this to Amazon and Azure for redundant copies would be a sufficient start. AWS S3 and Azure Blob Storage would go a long way. Structured directories, document metadata complements and having hot indexes for said metadata in a database would be a very good start.

A lot of this type of work is already being/been done.
Are you sitting at the pump the whole time?

A macro is a metal-level abstraction. So proper macros require proper metaprogramming support. And, I would argue, the other way around.
Founding and running a company is a lifetime chance, to take that I personally would want to be as productive as possible to make it a success. Traveling all the time is everything but being focused on the company. So yes, you will lose focus, you will lose time, you will be tired if you switch places all the time. You are not sleeping in your own bed, there are several factors that will make it less productive.

Yes, you will see the world, meet new people and have a great time, but you can have all of that if your company is a success as well, and make it 10x more fun. Having remote employees is fine, since you want to attract the talent pool from around the globe etc etc. but traveling as a founder, I don't know.
If we had even 1 honest meta-analysis for every 10 trials like this, well, we'd know more than we do now. Small trials with inconsistent/poor designs are the bane of medical science.

That said, I drink dark roast so this study must be true.
Lithuania and Russia are good candidates. Especially if the US ends up leaving NATO as Trumps parting gift to Putin.
> A "no deal" outcome, which is clearly bad, is still the best thing brexiters can actually deliver.

It could go much much worse than just "bad".

The UK imports a lot of food from EU neighbors. In case of a hard Brexit, this will just ... stop. The question is whether all supermarkets can immediately redo their supply chains. That is not likely. Especially since the UK will loose all trade agreements with the non-EU countries as well. Because they had been made by the EU with the UK participating.

Our western societies are very efficient but also very fragile. If supermarkets can no longer fill up their shelves, people go hungry fast. If supermarkets can only fill 80% of shelves, people panic and start hoarding food. Those who are too late to the party go hungry. With enough people hungry for a few days, society collapses.

Like ... corpses in the streets.

We know what happened when the Soviet Union went down and shelves went empty. This scenario would end a lot worse for the UK. The Soviets had massive redundancies, inefficiencies and fallbacks that could be exploited. Such as people growing potatoes in their Dachas.

See the material by Dmitry Orlov on how the "soviet scenario" would play out in a western country:

Update:

What do you think "chaos at the border" means?
Everybody will try to get as much stuff over the border as possible. Everybody will work together. The EU, the UK, the US, everybody. With the best intentions. But this could still go very very bad.

Every truck, train and ship has to get the papers checked where they could just drive through before. But there are not enough qualified officers to actually check all the papers.

So goods will come in at a trickle.
Even with the best intentions.

This the UK governments own statement. Chaos at the border for six months:

> Britain’s government has revised its worst-case Brexit scenario estimates for chaos at the country’s borders, which it now expects to last for six months rather than six weeks, the political editor of The Sun newspaper said.

Yes, the union of the constituent nations of the United Kingdom: England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The union between England and Wales dates back to 1536, Scotland became part of the Union in 1707 (Scotland, England and Wales comprising Great Britain), and Northern Ireland (1922). There was a union with all 32 counties of Ireland in 1801.
The article about the CSI effect says it's believed to work both ways. Jurors expect more forensic evidence but put more faith in it.
It's easy to make nice-sounding speeches when you're not accountable for delivering any results.
That's the time it takes to visit the convenience store. Relevant in some circumstances, but if you're not already in need of a break you only visit the pump and even five minutes is oddly slow. And the article and company site specifically say the time to fill the tank, not to visit a gas station. So they're blatantly lying.

Both contain tannins. I am not suggesting that these are the cause of the benefits observed in the study.
TWLO, SHOP, etc are all growing at >50% 10 years in. It's very likely and common, especially in b2b SaaS where it's challenging to capture all of a fragmented market and/or you have a case where you can continually upsell with more product over time.
If Apple could see a way to make money out of your data they would do it without blinking. The only reason they went with the privacy angle was that they failed when they tried to build their own ad network.
Thank you for Unity! I was really sad when Canonical dropped it - it's taken a lot of hate over the years, but I have yet to find a desktop manager I like better... (And I'm still using it.)
Appreciate the heads up, thank you! We'll look into this.

> When you say "had more quality content", do you mean that some content was removed ?

Yes, once Netflix proved that streaming was commercially viable, they rapidly got competition bidding for exclusive streaming licenses and then content owners pulling content for their own exclusive streaming services.

So, yes, a lot of content was lost and more is being lost. OTOH, they've ramped up exclusive acquisitions and content development.
Sounds like you're not asking precisely the question that you want the answer to.
Captivating Light Effects for LIFX Tile and Z Strip and Hue
Well the language scp uses for selecting files is turing complete and relies on state unavailable to the client therefore it is impossible in the general case for the client to check whether a given file sent by the server was actually requested by itself. That's the langsec failure here. The "correct" (in any case more sane) approach would be to use a stateless, easily recognizable language for specifying files (e.g. something that reduces to REs).
You're just rephrasing it. How about:

I'm betting State Farm $12 a month my apartment will burn down before I die or move out.

Apple shared all their iCloud user data (messages, pics, docs, etc.) and keys with the Chinese government last year. [1] Apple even updated their TOS forcing Chinese users to agree to it or drop service. [2]

What im not sure about is Airbnb's moat. They have a great brand name and all, but their service is very limited: 15% is a very large cut to take on these transactions. What prevents another company from doing the same at 12% and costing 50% to operate?
That's the real answer -- take his cards away. But it's just not time yet. I wonder if there's a card that can't be used online? Hey, dad, your new credit card came in.

I've already learned that one of the realities of being the dementia victim's business manager is that you have to lie to them convincingly. It's for their own good, but it feels wrong anyway.
More than half of all illegal immigrants overstay Visas (and arrive by airplane). Annual apprehensions at the border are down by like 80% since the mid-2000s - and not for lack of trying.

Climate change has caused famine and strife for humans in the past. It's one of the more common reasons for civilizational decline. Sure, this round of climate change is worse. But our ability to fend for ourselves is better.
It's actually hilariously (if that's the word...) possible now that we'll have a People's Vote and May's government will have to deliver a Remain result.
You're very spot on! DCFs are just one more way to triangulate. However, I think they can be very telling around where value drivers are, what what assumptions have to be in order to get to certain outcomes. It's definitely more useful than "SaaS companies trade at 7x forward revenues" as a DCF can help you capture the idiosyncrasies of your investment.
Except they don’t send it over the internet and it never leaves the device
Are there polls or other evidence supporting that?
This is exactly right. I was at two companies in Florida who were "agile" and it was extremely pathetic. Daily standups, marching orders, insane requirements and deadlines, overly long meetings, tons of PMs and 0 automated/QA testing. In fact, they were hiring more QA personnel and project managers at both companies and keeping the dev count the same. So yeah... This is typical stuff.
If regulations went up, Id bet more on airbnb: they will hurt competition a lot more than it will hurt them. They will drive regulations.

Do you see Google, Facebook etc being hurt by the regulations put in place in the last 10 years?
Handicapped spaces are reserved for cars/drivers with handicap placards. If all of the spots in the lot are full except for the handicap spots, then you need to find parking in the street or another lot.
Yes, "Community-adjusted EBITDA" is a nonsense metric. That said, it is not EBITDA, and given that WeWork is still private, I don't see any reason to believe the average person has had their conception of EBITDA irreparably damaged by it (or even impacted at all).
I understand that. I was responding to:

> May's deal permanently blocks the UK from ever fully leaving the EU without the EU's permission
It's a pretty sad state of affairs. Makes it nearly impossible to have any sort of honest conversation about politics, and definitely has a chilling effect. I debated even making the comment because I knew it would draw down votes.
Watch how air pollution moves across Europe
Beer contains tannins also. Not that I need any extra excuse..
I'm a bit uncomfortable with how much DDG's marketing is focused on trashing their competition. They deliberately obfuscate privacy issues to strengthen their narrative. Sure duckduckgo is a good company right now, but that's only because they're small. I doubt they'll stay that way when they capture a significant market share.
Then what does this sentence mean?

> May's deal permanently blocks the UK from ever fully leaving the EU without the EU's permission
Like the conservatives, they are divided between remainers and brexiters. Which is why it is a political mess. Now the conservative party being in power, these divisions are showing wide open. But you have a similar division within Labour.
What I find pretty amazing about this theft and the theft from the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum in Boston is that the pieces stolen can't be resold on the open market. Whomever is paying for these thefts, can only sell to discreet private buyers (who then can't display them openly without risking being caught). The economics of it are fascinating. A collector is paying someone to steal artwork, which then becomes an illiquid asset with significant legal liability. And the main benefit of these artworks is being able to display it to your guests, which now adds more legal liability when someone recognizes it. Who's behind these? Mob bosses? International millionaires? The 1% in the US?
Democracy means accepting that the voting public has no idea what makes good policy, but that they should determine policy anyway.
Absolutely true and it works. For example, my Tesla S (2014) very accurately predicts mileage going from Los Altos to Tahoe (up hill, have to recharge on the way) and from Tahoe to Los Altos (down hill, can barely make it back without charging).
Have fun with the updates then...
> A company's "need" to collect metrics is their problem, not mine.

When it's couched in how to deliver software updated, it becomes your problem as well. That's a transaction, and they want to charge more for it now. You can decide it's too costly, as you indicate here, but it's not like they're giving nothing in return.

I think it's important to note the goals of those involved. In this case, it's the people that put together a free product for us to use and also supply free timely software updates looking for more information on who is using what so they can do a better job at delivering that free stuff to us.

And in this case, it's not adding tracking where it doesn't exist, it's making it better for the specific cases that are useful to them and that impact users the least (an accounting of software configurations). They already track through IP address, but that's inaccurate to a much larger degree for the information they want (but somewhat less so for the personal information you likely want to protect). Adding an additional system that allows better tracking of the useful information without increasing the personally identifying features of IP based tracking (which still exists) is laudable, in my eyes.
Interesting.

Dan Carlin has a series on his podcast discussing the background of the war in Asia in 1937-1945 (https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-62-supern...). One of his major points about the Japanese government at the time was that the military held allegiance to the emperor, who couldn't or didn't actually do anything, rather than the civilian government. As a result, the military could do essentially anything it wanted.

That didn't end well.

Angora, mutation-based coverage guided fuzzer was open sourced
There are reasons to draw a line in the sand, to say that even attempting to do some things is contrary to a strong norm that we will defend even if you promise that you're not using it for anything malicious, something which is hard to police.

Taking a strong stand against tracking and, therefore, in favor of privacy is perfectly reasonable for people who use Linux in part due to our hatred of the deep tracking closed-source OSes do.
Some RNG's use the time of the day in milliseconds as seed, I guess those are easy to brute force. I guess it's all about the size of the seed and it's randomness!?
Their social network and brand recognition is their moat for now. Hosts and guests trust Airbnb. An upstart will have overcome a lot of momentum to take on Airbnb in the broad market.

Research paper about Angora was published here: http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~hchen/paper/chen2018angora.pdf
Although many folks have raised the "not Gettier" objection, I would propose that the premise of applying the test to debugging is wrong. Debugging means that your assumptions were already faulty: otherwise the system would not have bugs.

That is, the act of programming means working on an unfinished thought, something that can reflect some beliefs but compromises on being an exactly true expression of them. And so the weight of philosophical reasoning should appear at design time. What occurs after that is a discovery phase in which you learn all the ways in which your reasoning was fallacious - both bugs and feature decisions.
Problem is: many labour MPs are from hard-brexit districts. Same thing for conservative MPs.

In fact, the problem is that the electoral map of the UK is more hard-brexit than the popular vote, while the MPs from hard-brexit districts are mostly remainers. Remainer MPs from hard-brexit districts have contradictory and irreconcilable motivations: they want the UK to remain in the EU, but they want to remain MPs. If at the end of the day the UK does not exit the EU, those MPs will lose their seats -- that's a lose-lose for them. If the UK manages to exit the EU, those MPs have a fighting chance to be reelected.

So right now Parliament wants to rescind the Article 50 invocation, but can't bring itself to say so. The best they can do without massive upheaval in the next general election is to either order a second referendum, or request a delay in exiting. And those two options only if a) the Speaker allows them (he has been allowing remainer motions that the parliamentarian has ruled out of order, so the Speaker might indeed continue to do so), b) the PM accedes or c) Parliament impeaches her. (c) hasn't happened in centuries, and (b) might not happen (but I wouldn't hazard a prediction). A successful vote of no confidence would not work: first there would have to be a new general election and a new government, which might not yield a remain result (the electoral map is hard for brexit).

Hope that makes the situation clearer, but! I am not a subject of the crown, so take this with a lot of salt.
