Ok, but if you toss lit matches at a petrol station, it doesn't much matter what your reasoning was. The important thing is the effect.
What's actually wrong with reCAPTCHA is that google has convinced so many sites all over the web to require it to use them, and all that free labor is going to just improve Google's machine learning programs.
> "I don't understand the desire to store timestamp information into a UUID"

One reason is to be able provide sortability with respect to what is often a surrogate key attribute, as listed in the introduction:

> "It borrows core ideas from the ubiquitous UUID standard, adding time-based ordering and more friendly representation formats."

You can find additional motivations in the "Time is on our side" section:

https://segment.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-the-uuid/#time-i...

> "In Cassandra, TimeUUIDs are sortable by timestamp, quite useful when needing to roughly order by time."

While you may not agree with the the reasons, I think they are understandable.
That seems like a really bad definition.
So to me it made some sense. Putting it in my own terms, he argues knowledge workers are _by default_ overloaded and they use distractions as a necessary form of relief from the pressure - the distractions aren't the problem, they're a symptom. Right now we're too focused on tools and strategies to make us "more efficient", block distractions and promote collaboration. Instead we should focus on reducing the mental drain of knowledge work (e.g. the need for endless multi-tasking and alt-tabbing), find ways for positive mental relaxation (here I guess implied is NOT drugs or alcohol) and support getting "back on track" e.g. if you finish the day half way through fixing a bug, when you start next day, it's not just your IDE but also say your browser with all the Stack Overflow tabs and such you had open, related to the bug, all together in a "session" that makes it as easy as possible to pick up where you left off.

So in summary I guess he's saying in the search for solutions to burnt out knowledge workers we're focused too much on symptoms like distractions.
I’m from Stoke-on-Trent. The Wedgwood factory is about a 30 minute walk from where I grew up. There’s a big statue of him outside our railway station. This is the first I’m hearing that Darwin was his grandson. I’m amazed that I didn’t know, and so far no-one I’ve asked knew either. Crazy.
Since you want to produce documents (notebooks and notes) I would use a doucment format for storage, that allows for light and shallow relations: XML with XQuery on the backend (eXistDB or BaseX, I can recommend BaseX). REST and websockets are a welcome addition, these XML database/XQuery processors can satisfy. They can convert to many JSON formats, which then you may consume on the client side.

As for the client side: I tend not to think about that too much, since it is often quicker and easier to create your own DOM manipulation than learning any of these, highly opinionated, frameworks. I like to use jQuery, because of the huge community, the large number of plugins and since many other frameworks try to stay compatible.

At some point the ADA will come into play. Google has to realize that... don't they?
You only need to visit a busy Manhattan street corner during commuting times to immediately realize how inapplicable those calculations are. They’ll be hundreds, if not thousands, of people waiting to cross but they only get the light 25% of the time. The rest of the time and most of the space is devoted to a tiny number of people in cars each taking up a huge amount of space and time per person.

What would the charge per car have to be to cross that street corner to possibly equal out all the time being wasted by all those pedestrians (times their hourly rate) waiting for those cars? I have to imagine it would be in the thousands of dollars per intersection or more.

There aren’t very many people in the world whose time is so valuable that it outweighs hundreds of other people’s, especially given that a random person trying to get to work in Manhattan him or herself is likely to be decently productive on average.
Sorry if that sounded like I was saying "primitive". I was not meaning to. The relevant fact is that it takes a lot of money, proportional to the size of the country, to have good environmental, health, and safety regulations, and enforce them. A very large country such as India, which does have many technologically savvy people, can have nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, and a space program for far less money than it takes to make all your manufacturing not cut corners in E,H,&S regulations.
Labour is tradeable. You should be able to sell your labour with the same freedom others have to sell their goods.

AVENGERS 4 ENDGAME NEW TRAILER OUT 2019
The point is that they are individuals and one size fits all is doomed to failure. Any findings will be coarse and easy to confuse cause and effect. Just because children active in sports and music programs may be healthier and happier doesn't mean forcing the kid into both will improve things - by all means expose the kids to it, encourage them and let them pursue it but forcing a square peg into a round hole is good for no one.

There were worries that powerlines were harming children because children with homes near power lines had worse performance in schools. Analysis found that the mechanism for the "harm" was lowered property values - parents who lived near powerlines considered unsightly had fewer resources and it reflected in their children's academic performance.

A pure statistical approach on an individual level is like trying to have a full term baby in one month. Trying to actually raise children involves small N numbers with divergent starting states and control is impossible. You won't raise your second child in the same environment as the first - the year is different, you are different and there is the addition of an older sibling.

You can figure out great harms and benefits but anything else is shrouded in enough noise that attempting it at that level is practically superstition.
That one probably also has something to do with getting letters from MAFIAA if you torrent but not if you use streaming sites.
Yeah probably US is most racially diverse
Sure, maybe, but one fact doesn't really relate to the other. The fact remains that they just spent $10B on share buybacks, and they are now laying off thousands and closing a few factories because they want to save $6B.

Even if they waited a few more years, the optics are just really bad. Not that optics seem to matter like they used to, most companies just shamelessly do this now.
Water is heavy, and almost none of the water used in the world is used for human consumption. It will never make more economic sense to ship water long distances than to move the economic activities that require it to the source of the water. This is leaving aside the subject of aqueducts, but there's really only so long you can make an aqueduct, and most countries border countries in roughly similar economic situations. Siphoning water from "poorer countries" via aqueducts is not going to be a thing.
Try another study until you get the result you want?
Notice all the emphasis on how the Mac would benefit from being $1500, significantly cheaper than many other machines of the era, even Apple //.

Macintosh instead debuted at $2495 — considered by many in hindsight a big mistake. The much more usable version with 512k(vs 128k) was north of $3000. This is all in 1980s dollars, too.

(IIRC the launch of Mac coincided with a spike in RAM prices.)
I just wanted you to know you are not alone in trying and feeling like you haven't succeeded. At the end of the day I've tried to realize that the things I have pursued and will continue to pursue will hopefully have some intrinsic value to them that allows me to be ok with the failure. Most likely you have to push harder when marketing and selling. At least that is what I tell myself with the current project that I am working on.
Along with U2F, see also Authy and Keybase. Each asks for an account ID, then uses a prior authenticated device to assert that the new device is OK to authenticate. Keybase definitely uses a genuine PKI to make this happen. Authy might not -- it's hard to tell from the app's outward behavior.

Upside is the convenience of not needing the original account passphrase to add new devices. Depending on your threat model, demanding a passphrase to add a new device might not add anything to the security.

Downside (I imagine) is that people can misplace their passphrases for a long time, thereby allowing the account to grow in value, but not realize it until they've lost or destroyed their last authenticated device. Then they're screwed because they no longer have any way to get back in.
A major source of PFAS contamination is military bases. There are hundreds of U.S. Air Force and Navy installations with fire and crash training sites, where they literally dump thousands of gallons of PFAS-laden fire fighting foam on the ground during exercises. A combination of brain-dead military leadership and intensive lobbying by DuPont, Chemours, and others. The Intercept has done some excellent reporting on this issue:

In my experience it’s unwarranted assumptions about data formats (e.g. usernames aren’t numbers) and not checking the specs.

Also, putting off coding for corner cases, and then forgetting to.

I’ve been guilty of doing both.
> My understanding is that the decision basically said "broadband is providing both telecommunication and information services, so it's acceptable to classify is information service"

I don't see why these are mutually exclusive. If they are both, shouldn't they be subject to both sets of rules? Or perhaps they should be required to separate them.
Arguably, private keys should not ever leave the device on which they were generated.
oh god no. no! NO! NO!
> embedding anything but randomness into your UUID is a bad idea that you will pay for in the future

It's not that simple. Depending on your case there could be plenty of reasons to avoid randomness altogether. Randomness doesn't guarantee uniqueness within the system, randomness is slow, randomness gives you false sense of security that you could accidentally rely on, etc.

Urban water usage is a rounding error compared to industrial and agricultural water usage. It will always make more economic sense to move water to cities than to move cities to water. The same is not true for agriculture and industry, and the two topics don't belong in the same discussion.
Historically China has been ahead of the West by centuries if not millennia! It has taken me a lot of reading about the Opium Wars and what went on before to come to this conclusion. We in the West are but cultural infants with a lot to learn. Really.

Regarding those phones you speak of, they might have been designed in Silicon Valley but 'anyone' can design a phone, making one is a lot harder. It is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration really. We would be kind of stuck at the making bit without the hard work and ingenuity of folks in China. Apple and co went there to get products made not just because of cheaper labour but because China can do such things.

The more one learns about China the more one rejects Trumpist 'they steal our IP' arguments and the more one respects Chinese history, culture and hard working attitudes. Nope, China is not perfect and not for everyone, they have a lot of problems but they also have a quite aggressive Western media that always wants to do them down with so much whataboutism, e.g. 'human rights' which is so rich considering that the US locks up so many millions of people.

> Beijing has been developing a nationwide facial recognition system using surveillance cameras capable of identifying any person, anywhere, around the clock within seconds.

So before all the privacy activists are up in arms, this is pretty incredible and it looks like they're getting pretty close to eliminating all violent crime. I think that's an incredible achievement if they can pull it off. In an even broader historical context, individualism and capitalism have had their run for 100+ years, maybe this is the rise of a new ideological movement.

Watch "Person of Interest" show
the second generation Prius 2004-2009 has a dashboard instrument cluster flaw where the capacitors go bad after a number of years and it stops working.

this is well known in the prius chat boards.

Toyota also knew about it, but instead of making it a safety recall, they put out a service bulletin: T-SB-0172-09 Combination Meter - Intermittent Display

If you search the web for that you will find a ton of hits.

The solution is to replace the entire instrument cluster circuit board. If you have a replacement board, It's relatively easy, maybe an hour of work if you are handy, and there is no soldering unless you have no replacement and want to replace the bad capacitor yourself, and maybe a transistor. You will probably break your A/C vents in the process because they are made of a type of plastic that becomes extremely brittle with age.

There is a guy in Texas, Texas Hybrid Batteries, who will sell you a refurbished dash circuit board for $150 if you mail him yours. Buying a new one is a bit spendy and may require going through a dealer depending on laws, since the odometer is part of the assembly and has to be 'flashed' to what your vehicle was before the swap. However on cars of this age the odometer is often up to about 200,000 miles and exempt from a lot of the odometer laws.
Why is this insightful comment being downvoted? I suppose Bird allocates a budget for vote manipulation on aggregator sites, unless random people are actually autonomously doing that work for free. I’m not sure which would be more depressing.
is there any projects that influenced this project? Just curious as googling some of your code turns up in other projects.
Meanwhile in San Francisco we are stuck with two unknown companies, a very low amount of scooters, no scooters in the evening (after 9pm I think?), and you can't ride one if you don't have a driver license.

For a tech-pole, it is quite a backward city.
To add to this is the fact that we also have plenty of evidence that industry will do the wrong thing. Lead additives to gasoline is a common example but the story of Diethylstilbestrol (more commonly known as DES) is so much worse.

10 million or more fetuses exposed over 30 years with results ranging from fatal aggressive cancers in young children to birth defects. DES still shows effects two full generations later - in the grandchildren.

During the time DES was in use it was often defended using the “But women have estrogen already and this is exactly the same so obviously it’s fine” sorts of dismissals.

And now, here and again I encounter people dismissing concerns about BPA or PFOA and other endocrine disrupters with hand waving about how if there was really a problem we would have seen it and reacted to it by now so - the reasoning goes - obviously there is not a problem or, if there is one, it’s minor. And then I think of DES.

Hi, asterius main dev here. Garbage collection support is near; we're working actively on it, and after a few regressions are fixed it'll be available on master.

It'll be a copying GC, with builtin support to automatically free unused JavaScript references in the Haskell heap. It's also possible to plug in more fancy gc algorithms later (e.g. generational, or concurrent ones with read barriers).

I remember many years ago I was sent a keylogger. I reversed it, found it was configured to upload keylogs to an FTP server on a free webhost, and promptly replaced the existing contents of it with as many copies of The Bible as would fit in the few MB of space available.
I think you were just a little unlucky and hit a post with a few words and phrases you don't know.

Scofflaw is a pretty old word, and being a combination of scoff and law many people could work out its meaning.

Take someone to the cleaners is a fairly common idiom.

Juicers seems to be slang related to the people who charge up the scooters, but again, juice + er is a pattern many people can pick up on.
I mean that's the thing, China is going to implement it, we get to see what happens, and I don't think there's much we can do to stop it. I'm interested in seeing how historians look at this period of human history since it will theoretically be so objectively (? maybe? At least plentifully.) documented.
Since "dog" is the male version of "bitch", it could be effectively the same insult.

The best assumption for a random mysterious word is an insult, especially when used as name for you. If you don't know what "kike" or "tard" means and you assume it is an insult, you wouldn't be wrong.
Juicers is a lime only term afaik (it referd to someone who charges lime scooters) and the rest are reasonably common Australian expressions (maybe scofflaw is a little less common).
emac I tried as well, and then power reseted it too :D
A bit of a nitpick here but I think "Light weight drugs in small doses are less bad: 90s vs now." has a [citation needed]. In my (anecdotal, personal) experience, a heavy weight, sporadically used drug is much more effective than a light weight ones, especially for mental issues.

My heuristic for this is the following:

1. All psychic drugs have a main effect + side effect.

2. The benefit comes from changing your baseline mental "loops". This can happen slowly, or quickly, but requires something to be different. [citation needed]

3. Main effects can be, when taken to excess, if not necessarily _fun_, then certainly _different_, or new.

4. The industry is averse to their drugs being fun, because it leads to "abuse". So they only sell drugs where the main effect is small.

5. This means that most psychic drugs provoke a small change to baseline mental state, and (proportionally) large changes to everything else. So you feel a _little_ better, maybe, and very constipated/sleepless/irritated/whatever.

6. The ideal treatment would actually be super powerful drugs, like psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, or LSD, taken very sporadically and in controlled (but not clinical) settings. Of course, this will never happen because of point (4).
“AI may quickly point out a corrupt official, but it is not very good at explaining the process it has gone through to reach such a conclusion,” the researcher said. “Although it gets it right in most cases, you need a human to work closely with it.”

And that's the crux of the issue with AI being used in any law enforcement situation.

If we allow decisions and conclusions being drawn by the AI without a clear explanation of how it got there, we're just creating a monster that will advise -maybe replace- the judgment of law enforcement professionals who won't have the means to question these decisions.

Catching corrupt officials is a laudable goal anywhere and I'd like to see it applied to highlight potential irregularities that may require a second look but the danger here is that an unprovable AI be used to make claims or start being used as sufficient evidence to ruin people's lives.
Since nothing a government does is a crime, by definition, then by consolidating all crimes, violent and otherwise, to the government then we have eliminated all evil! Brilliant!
The easiest way would simply be for their website to template out a .mobileconfig. It’s just xml, it’d be relatively painless, even more so than trying to fill in the settings yourself.

I live in Paris with an arguably good public transport system in place and Lime scooters were quite popular this summer. This is only anecdotally ofc, but you see a lot of people using them. There are not as many Bird scooters yet though.

Where I see the niche is medium distances were the metro is not a fast solution but if scooters are ubiquitously available for these situations, I see value in them.

And yeah, Tourists seem to love them.
This is an option at many financial institutions and often required above a certain level of transaction, but retail customers don't hear about it quite so often because it's in the general category of "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."

The magic word is Medallion Signature Guarantee and the mechanism is, basically, "Bank of America is satisfied that we were talking to Bob when we affixed this medallion on this paper and if we were wrong we're good for $500k."

The most likely place one is likely to run into this (assuming a typical-for-HN sort of life plan) is if you accumulate a substantial amount of money in your retirement account and then try to transfer it to a different brokerage.
If there is one thing the Chinese government is known for, it is objectively documenting everything it does and making such records available to all.
> Florida expects to be given access to the water resources of Georgia, (even though the Army Corps of Engineers has been clear that Georgia needs the resources for things like navigation and, crucially, flood control.)

My dumb model says that adding a large drain to Georgia's water system (aqueducts to Florida) is a pretty strong flood control in itself. How does this damage Georgia's flood control capacity?
