I think the risk/reward ratio is skewed here.

That said if I had Type 1 diabetes and the skills I absolutely would do it.

Given the amazing things open source software and hardware folks have done and that you can manufacture small run electronics easier than ever it seems like a healthy underground is likely to emerge.

I'm in favour of the FDA and organisations generally (otherwise we are back to snake oil again) but it has massive issues with technology, they simply can't move fast enough to keep up.

I think a pro-tem solution is a law allowing a patient to waive all rights to sue in return for been able to use a device.

That way technology would get into the hands of the people who need it, the FDA would have a better understanding of what is going on and oversight and small manufacturers can enter the market.

Drug trials to an extent already have such legal frameworks present otherwise we wouldn't be able to perform the trials.
I suspect it is backed by experience.
I was also in the gifted program and the thing that helped me the most was getting involved in youth sports like little league, rec basketball, and soccer. It allowed me to be friends with both the smart kids and athletic kids. I can't stress enough how important youth sports are for kids
One could replace 'Huawei' with 'Cisco' in this article and everyone would just nod and sigh. The political spin on it is concerning.
Yeah, Bloomberg themselves list Nokia and Ericsson as the next largest actors on the market after Huawei in an infographic, and I don't think those count as US companies so I'm not sure what that comment was about.

> a lot of the "SJW" stuff that riles people up is to say that a protected class or minority should be allowed to exist

I have tested this several time on HN, face to face and other places. I do this by suggesting that it should be made in to a generic law.

For example, when Muslim clothing is debated in the news someone from the "SJW" political side will eventually state that people should be free to decide what they wear. By forbidding burqa at work or public places, they say we deny that minority to exist. I bring up that I know a nudist who would very much like the freedom to decide what they wear, and who very much is denied to exist as a nudist at work and public places.

By turning what is advocated into a generic law that give everyone the same freedom, suddenly the interest from SJW drops.
> What's the SEO required to get your personal page to be the first result on a search engine?

Is this really an issue?

Someone looking for you personally either for professional or personal reasons already knows who you are so probably already has the relevant URL: from your CV or application form/letter, on a business card, from an email footer, because you've posted links on social media where they are linked to or otherwise follow you, from your profiles on online forums, by deriving it from your email address, ...

Someone looking for the sort of content you are publishing (if it isn't personal journal/diary/blog/etc. style content) will be searching for terms relevant to that and not your name, or those terms plus your name if you are well known in the field. Any SEO should be targetted at that content, not your name.

Before asking "how would someone find me by searching for my name?", first consider "why would anyone feel the need to find me by searching for my name?". It is most likely not a problem you actually need to solve.

> your presence on social media sites, an about page of a project, ... ... will rank first and ahead of any personal website

Because those things are most likely what people are actually looking for. Remember: search engines are focused on giving the searchers what they want, not sending them to where you want them to go.

Where you have control of the content (you might on a project page, you will on your social media accounts), solve that problem by having links to your personal page in a prominent place. If someone doesn't click the extra time then they really weren't wanting to find you hard enough!

Now imagine your boss would grade you on how well you can recite a particular co-worker's GoT interpretation, and cut your paycheck if you get too many things wrong - or if you dared to say you disagree with that interpretation.

This is how humanities in school feel. Being told some arbitrary interpretation is the truth, being forced to learn it, and being tested on it.
I mean at a higher level: their algorithms and analog designs licensed to the US, not the source code.
Pretty obvious how the EU will deal with it. I once read the official statement of the German government that there is no way the US is spying on us while walking past dozens of huge radomes on a US base close to ESA hq.

I read the news when it was discovered that our intelligence service regularly updated NSA selectors to spy on internet users and never looked into what they were updating. Suddenly they "found out" that the US wasn't looking as much for terrorists but more for industrial secrets. Ups, who would've thought.

I don't want to spied on by the Chinese government but it doesn't matter much when I'm 100% spied on by at least the USA and the UK.
What to Use Ethereum For – Vitalik Buterin
Sure. But the accepted norms for buying second hand aircraft versus second hand motorcycles are quite different as well, which is why it makes no sense to say that the buyer should not have driven the motorcycle. The accepted norm for cars and motorcycles is that you pay the seller and you drive them home, not that you inspect the detailed maintenance log or do an on-site teardown. Likely the seller was aware that this bike had problems and simply did not tell the buyer, something that is close to fraud, and on top of that this placed the buyer in a potentially dangerous situation, especially on a new bike.

When I buy cars I do a pretty thorough inspection and an extended test drive. Even so I once ended up with a car on which the clutch pedal would not return once every few hundred strokes or so, something that by chance did not happen even once in a pretty long test drive.
If Notch's 'comments and opinions' do not reflect Mojang or Microsoft, they should be the bigger person and let him attend.
I was skeptical about "boycotting" China and Huawei for a long time; just thought that they make cheap phones, and innovative tech, so why not.

I changed 180 degrees when I started learning about the growing Chinese influence, how politically corrupt they are, and the excessive violence and human rights violations exercised against minorities.

China is growing its economic dominance very quickly. They are gaining many growing Asian and African countries under their belts (pun intended with the belt & road initiative [1])

These poor counties don't really have a say when offered china's generous offers, but we do.

It is going to be expensive, just like trying to fix climate change is: We have to be willing to pay to fix our mistakes (or other people in our society, if we want better future for our [grand]kids.
But we will only be paying the price of our mistakes: depending that much on sweatshops, factory workers who are paid next to nothing, and collaborating with an authoritarian regime that clearly opposed our values for the longest time.

> France has as well, as they said that all suppliers will be treated equally and subject to the same security tests.

This is the bit that gets me. I simply don't believe you would approve a supplier with a question mark over them without running it past GCHQ/MI5/MI6 ect..... Presumably Germany and France did the same thing with their security services.

It leaves me wondering if the US know something their 3 closest allies don't or if their position is purely economic/ideological.
I really liked the episode but I can understand people's issues with the plot.

Sense of danger. - Imo one of the things that Martin did right was keep you on your toes. No one saw the red wedding coming. You were not allowed to have a favourite character as three episodes later they would probably meet a very gruesome end. Lately (and especially in this episode) seems the Hollywood approach took over. The hero was triumfant in the beginning, had a lapse of heart, he was helped to stand again, just to save the day at the literally last couple of seconds.
Yes, right after posting I realized I wasn't directly on the topic. I hope it brings some value to discussion anyway.
Could an incentive like this be counterintuitive by promoting faster/sloppier work? Just because a developer commits frequently does not evaluate the quality of work, thus punishing developers working more complicated and thought out features.
Netflix show 13 Reasons Why associated with 28.9% rise in suicide rates in youth
‘Gender Balance in Computing’ Research Project Launch
Full title that HN wouldn't allow:

The Netflix show "13 Reasons Why" was associated with a 28.9% increase in suicide rates among U.S. youth ages 10-17 in the month (April 2017) following the shows release, after accounting for ongoing trends in suicide rates, according to a study.
Paolo Bacigalupi is a good writer with a creative take on world building. Both The Windup Girl and The Water Knife (on topic for this thread) are good reads. His short stories collected in Pump Six and Other Stories are worth digging into as well if you like his novels. He goes into the potential effects of widespread gene modification and excessive patent protection of crops as well.
I was in a similar situation. My elementary school recommended to my parent that I skip a grade and join the [GRADE+1] cohort, which would remove me from my (already small) group of friends. This ended up happening over my strong, for a 10 year old, objection. In the first quarter I deliberately engineered my grades to be all C’s (was previously a straight A kid) which triggered school admin to reverse the decision. I consider this my first “achievement unlocked” moment.
I too stripped away my online presence a few years ago. I even went ahead further and deleted all my accounts I don't use, aren't privacy-oriented, etc. I now have a spreadsheet of the very few accounts I have for specific products and services. To that extent, I rarely sign up for anything new these days and or use a lot of applications and services.

I also say nay to having an online presence. I prefer silent, out-of-sight, deep work. On the other hand, I do support having a blog to journal and or log about anything you'd like, public or private. If public, I suggest to not use your real name, etc, but an unusual name like a 8-bit binary number.

Not having an online presence is free-ing. Having an online presence feels like you're a brand and are subjugated to update. Cal Newport might have talked about something along these above things in his latest book, "Digital Minimalism".
That'd take ages to implement and billions of dollars. Doesn't seem realistic

The giant spikes of varying styles are the most readable, but also the most intriguing and inviting. So, you have to figure on a few realities.

First: With tectonic activity and geologic timescales, you’ll see possibly the entire continent migrate to a new climate, before full turnover. This could mean glaciation, mountain ranges, canyons and river or dense jungle. How it looks now, it might not look in one million years, at all. If there’s wildlife, no one will care about signage if the wildlife is healthy.

Second: Archeological expeditions will try to explore the architecture, and some will die, before they figure it out. So, with explorers in mind, the spikes are a good landmark to raise general awareness that this unnatural structure exists, but, realistically, one has to expect attrition before any interested party gains full understanding, and thus a means of wayfinding that produces a sort of conceptual mummy’s curse should be engineered with an entrance.

Third: There’s no consideration for intelligent animals of different sizes or scale in proportion to non-human bodies. From crustaceans and mollusks, to dancing bees, to talking dogs or socially regimented elephants and woolly mammoths that communicate with infrasound. What about those guys? Space aliens, you can bet will be fine, but nascent intelligent life that erupts in the wake of an extinct human civilization might need a clue as well...

What do you suggest we do? I'm asking in good faith; I think the worries of the influence of the CPC in the world are valid, but China can't simply be boycotted like any small country, and it's also not clear to me those boycotts (Cuba, Iran, etc) really effect change.
The asymmetry of three things is essentially what secures of a lot of cryptography:

1. multiplying two large prime numbers together (easy)
2. Factoring the result without knowledge of those primes (extremely difficult)
3. Factoring the result with knowledge of one of the primes (easy)

Those properties are essentially what make up the foundation of a lot of public key crypto.

For this puzzle, knowing the factorisation of n allowed a shortcut to quickly generate the puzzle, but without that factorisation it required squaring numbers 79,685,186,856,218 times sequentially so parallelism isn't a help.

The actual code to generate the puzzle was in the original puzzle description at https://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/lcs35-puzzle-description... .

? PDF works fine for searching.

It depends on the document, a pdf page could be:

1) Text

2) An image of text

3) Lines/Curves that happen to be in the shape of letters/text

If it's text it perfectly searchable. If it's one of the others the creator has to also OCR it and add the text behind the image or in front but invisible (no stroke or fill).

It would be nice if they compare Huaweii to other vendors. I am quite sure Erricson and Nokia had some backdoors/critical vulnerabilities as well. It is quite common if the policies are poor and they skip some penetration tests. I don't think anyone would make such silly backdoors on purpose (like unsecured telnet connection).

> Often UUIDs are used as keys to things...

IMO most data in DBs has a natural key. Why add a fake key? If it's to enforce uniqueness then that uniquness is spurious because it's a GUID which has no meaning to the data to which it's attached eg. you could have the same row 10000000 times but falsely uniquified with a different GUID.

Only exceptions I've encountered to my 'natural key' claim are addresses, which are a sod to canonicalise (in fact, seemingly impossible, I'd welcome any pointers).

Also UUIDs are bloody big keys, so fattening up tables and impairing disk/memory bandwidth. This matters if you have gazillion-row DBs, surely? I dealt with a near-billion row DB and shaving a few bytes off a row would matter to us bigly.

For the sake of argument I'll assert that you should never use UUIDs as keys, but please feel free point out where I'm wrong.

> This is because the inserts are going to happen all over the place, and the way tables are stored definitely prefers appends.

This is opposite to my understanding in that an append to a table causes insertion hotspot which can be bottlenecks for insertion-heavy work. If it's inserting at random places there's no hotspot. I suppose updates scattered all over the btree could cause much more random disk activity though, do you mean that?

> So a common word of wisdom is to have an auto-increment primary key, and the uuid indexed! Ugh what a work around.

Oh god no! Quite agree.

[stuff about ULIDs] I'd really like to understand what you're doing overall. It just sounds just wrong, though I'm sure that's down to me not understanding your use case.
It seems that this might indeed be the case. After writing the comment I’ve had a look through the (obsolete) Ruby code base of the project that somebody linked, and it doesn’t actually perform (what I’d call) text mining as far as I can see. Instead it parses the court documents, which seems to be a mostly structured format. No natural language processing.

All coworking spaces I have been to have wanted me to make an appointment, and one did not even let me into the office (which was ridiculous). Maybe this is something which varies by country.

I got 3 months hot-desk for free at a local Wework. I tried it and stayed 2 hours and an half. I never went back.

The chairs were uncomfortable, the place was loud and overall the work environment was worse than a starbucks (starbucks is for me the minimum acceptable level of a coffee shop to work in).

I get that it might make sense for companies sharing a desk, but it definitely doesn't make sense for someone like me who works remotely from home, especially not for the $600/month they ask for in HK. If they had comfortable chairs and monitors I could sometimes connect to when needed, it might make sense.

The thing is though with audio or video chat you can visit with your colleagues and office banter all that you (both) want even though you are remote.

Or you can do text chat in Slack about work or whatever interests you. Or interact in a 3D or VR office space. Or play video games if you want. Or meet up at a real life coffee shop.

You just have to get the other people to do it deliberately rather than everyone being automatically forced to do it by constant required physical proximity.
My best response was to correct, time released dosing of melatonin at the same time every day. It’s important to do all of the life changes needed - lights off or dim, warm light, very dim phone, reminders for the melatonin at the same time every day, etc.
You haave to install the runner on the target, then you can use exec, plus a switch to allow it to run as root. The key is it has to be configured on the target device _first_.

Then you have a root shell on your target device (I leave the "should" as an exercise for the user )

By default it includes pretty much everything anyone uses. Imagine installing the most popular 90% of PyPI or CPAN, and that probably gets the idea across. Without documentation (online is usually easier) and support for umpteen languages, it's less than half that amount of space. Even better, most of it is platform independent, so can be shared between operating systems; I use the Linux installer in WSL and tell it to install the Windows binaries, and it takes barely any more space but can be used transparently from either OS.
