Did it last weekend, 1200ft increase in elevation. Pack a sandwich to eat or grab one on the go. I hike often and hit the gym 4+ days a week so I might be moving faster than average. My lunch stop is usually 10-15 min.

Either way, if you start the hike before 9am in the North Bay you'll beat the traffic rush out of the city. You could spend an extra couple hours if you wanted. As long as you head back before 2pm you'll beat the re-entry rush into the city.
Slavery was a democrat policy. Fact. And I'm not a Republican--they are too liberal and too soft. I've always been opposed to slavery. Just because some prisons and policies have been wrong doesn't mean prison labor is wrong.

Just because I'm a traditionalist doesn't in the slightest equal support for slavery. I'm a traditionalist in that I'm a strict constructionist as regards the Constitution, natural marriage (man/woman), pro-military/pro-conscription (or equal civil service), low-tax, small government.

I'm OK with your thoughts, opinions, and ideas. They don't offend me. I'm not a snowflake, soft, or easily offended. I thrive in challenging environments, but I loathe how others cannot accept my opinion when I accept theirs. I work with all manner of people, and I disagree with most of them, but I never get bent out of shape over the fact that some of them voice things that I find disheartening or abjectly stupid. I just smile and let them go about their merry way.
Hey,

I'm the ZDNet reporter who wrote the story.

What in God's green earth are you talking about?

The article says the hacker's server is rented from an Iranian company. And yes, despite your ignorant claims, the IP address is the C2 server.

What imagined propaganda are you talking about?
It is. It took my father ~20 years of working in an English-speaking country to be consistent with his usage of that article.
The Against Hate Subreddit orchestrated similar false-flag attacks last year and successfully shut down many other subreddits.

During 2016 on Facebook, similar spamming tactics were used to shut down many pages promoting Bernie Sanders.

If it really were something orchestrated by users of T_D, then why would they report it to reddit? It's more likely that outside forces had a hand in this.

React for the most part is about producing HTML (the DOM/VDOM part) and a "little JS" (eventhandlers/interaction/updates). Any single react element is pretty easily expressed in simple JS, the thing that react and other frameworks do is to tie a few hundred/thousand of them together, which is what is hard.

The resulting HTML that it outputs should still be readable and semantic though.
You know how google search results can get really useless just a few pages in? And it says it found something crazy like 880,000 results? Imagine randomizing that.

For many reasons. First, because they can, and nobody will ever have a chance to know about it. It's not like people are going to whistleblow: from the comments of many Googlers here I understood they (or a reasonably large number of them) really don't see tracking as ethically wrong. That's of course very good for their mental health, but less so for the privacy of most Internet users.

Ask HN: Advice for husband struggling with 2-career marriage?
I'm 40 and am a full-time software engineer.

My wife started working as a therapist, then found a career in sales and quickly moved up to a Director-level role leading a sales team. She's proud of her success and does a pretty good job juggling that and family life.

We have two young kids.

I realized I have an issue with my wife's job, feeling like it takes priority over our family. I feel I sacrifice small things regularly to allow her extra freedom for her job. I feel she budgets a disproportionate amount of energy and focus on her job, ignoring or putting off family-related duties or obligations that have a negative effect on the entire family.

When I think about my wife and her career, I'm proud of her success and I don't think I have any issue with her earning more than me or having a "better title." But I seem to have some issue with feeling less important than her job because I get annoyed when I feel that way. She tells me I'm unsupportive of her because I'm jealous of her success, but I just feel like I'm fighting for some respect for myself and I worry about a slippery slope of further sacrifice.

When we started dating, my side gigs got in the way of our dating lifestyle -- meaning it wasn't totally acceptable for me to spend hours on nights and weekends doing contract work. The income was not necessary, so I slowly let it fade away. It was never something I felt actively bitter about, but no doubt it was a sacrifice I made to have more time for her. It comes up now because when she needs extra support for her job, it's at my expense, and if I give her grief for that, I'm being unsupportive.

I'm realizing that what I'm dealing with might be a somewhat recent phenomenon, but also probably fairly common these days. I really do want my wife to be successful and happy, but I also don't want to be required to live with this feeling of sacrifice. I'm trying to figure out if my feelings are rational or irrational.

They're prisoners. Society has already devalued them.
Noms (versioned, forkable, syncable database) maintenance status (abandoned?)
There is far more violent rhetoric from the left than the right for the first time in my life. Regardless, your comment is extremely naive because violent rhetoric will always be present in any political party. If only 1 in 10,000 are nut jobs then we have thousands of crazies in both political parties and in any other group or ideology that represents a large population.
I've had the noms repo open in a tab for a few weeks so that I could read up on it when I have time. I was looking at it today and noticed a new statement in the readme. I figured I would post since I think noms was launched (and heavily discussed) here.

Literally, it says no one is working on it for now, but in the context of their acquisition by Salesforce in early 2018, this sounds a lot like an abandonment notice. Hopefully @aboodman will see this and make a clearer statement?

The noms.io domain no longer leads to a site (or redirects to the github repo), but it looks like Salesforce holds the domain through at least Aug 22 2020.

I like the paper towel because I then have something to cleanly open the door with too.
I think the reason for writer’s block is when the complexity of the plot of the story (or the architecture if the software you’re writing, or...) becomes too great. To write another page it’s not enough to just come up with some new ideas. Whatever you write must simultaneously satisfy the existing strands of the story, obeying their internal logic while tying it all together. If the writer has a strong philosophical core to their work, then this could halt output all together rather than just for one individual story (because their whole output is really a continual development of their philosophy).

We need to ban all steaks!

Why?

Because my baby keeps finding steaks and choking on them!

Shouldn't you just...take responsibility for your baby and keep it away from steak? Plenty of people eat steaks and they're fine.

No! You don't get it because you don't have kids.

Edit: Seriously though, I do understand, and if I were a parent I too would probably try to deflect my responsibilities onto the rest of society. Parenting is hard, and it's much easier to try to control the whole world than to control the little people you're personally responsible for. It's an easy impulse to indulge, and history is full of examples of this. I don't blame you.
The problem with this reasoning is that it assumes “financial success” is the one and only form of success. A common mentality, indeed so common that to even suggest that you are okay with being financially unsuccessful (if it means you can achieve some other form of success) is usually met with blank stares.

A search engine is more like putting the books in a paper schredder and writing the book title on every piece, then ordering the pices by whatever words you can find on it, putting all pieces that has the word "hacker" on it in the same box. Where as the problem becomes how you sort the pieces. Want to find a book about "hacking"? This box has all the shreds that has the word "hacker" on it, you can find the book title on the back of the piece. Second problem becomes how relevant the word is to the book.

I'd add to that list the fact that the US already imprisons more people that any other nation.

Unintended acceleration flaw in Toyota models around 2005 to 2011, due to firmware bugs: http://www.safetyresearch.net/blog/articles/toyota-unintende...

Great for USA customers. They were made whole.

I personally was driving a 2011 Toyota minivan in Thailand in 2013 when I suffered this firmware bug. Toyota refused to consider it was anything other than driver fault. I was only going 5kph when it happened so no damage, but damn scary as hell. No recall in that country, and unless dealers did a covert firmware upgrade during maintenance, the flaw still exists in similar model years.
I really like Hardkernel's Odroid boards. They have a big catalog for many use cases and are a lot more performant than the Pi but less open hardware/driver wise and lack on board WiFi/BT. But as others have said, there are A LOT of similar boards. If you want something very small, the NanoPi boards look nice but I have never tried one of them.
There'd be a feedback loop problem, but are DNS query logs a potential source of ranking/priority?

Over time the domains that users genuinely organically visit (potentially geo-localized based on client location) should rise in query volume.

Caveats would include DNS record cache times, lookups from robots/automated services, and no doubt a multitude of inconsistent client behavior oddities.

A similar approach could arguably be applied even at a network connection log level.
If there is far more violent rhetoric coming from the left, then you would expect to see the rise of said nutjobs committing murder and what not.

Yet curiously, we've seen the rise of mass murders and hate come from the far right. How does that work with the idea that the left is somehow more violent than the right? Why is it okay for the right to normalize violence?
I agree it's better in some ways than the desktop programs ("apps") situation
Exactly. I've returned products due to firmware problems in the past, although they were not security related. In one case I was asked to give a written description of the problem before I got a refund. The other store returned the money without questions. It's not really any different from a product that broke under warranty in my experience.
Magnetism doesn't use a cross product; it uses a wedge product[0]. It generalizes perfectly well to 2d, you just have <<xy>> instead of <<xy,xz,yz>>, just like you have <x,y> instead of <x,y,z>.

Edit: the reason 2d doesn't have a cross product is because you can no longer misinterpret a bivector <<xy,xz,yz>> as a (1-)vector <yz,xz,xy> by confusing each basis bivector with the basis vector[1] orthogonal to it.

0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_product

1: Actually one of the two (positive or negative) possible basis vectors; this is why cross products have a right-hand-rule versus left-hand-rule ambiguity.

> sometimes kids have reasons for what they say or do

Raising two kids I've come to think that this is almost always the case. The reasons may be based on misunderstandings but they are logically coherent in the context. A lot of times they may have a hard time explaining it, especially when an adult loses their temper because they decide the thing is just a folly.

In my kids' school they are not allowed to wear shoes indoors, but my son refused to take his off and wouldn't explain why to the teachers. It drove them mad, and we got phone-calls and emails telling us this had to stop that he must obey the same rules as the rest of the kids! We spoke to him (without reproach) and slowly we realize that he knows his shoes are expensive (because they are pronation) and it turns out that someone had hidden them before. After we explain to the teachers he is allowed to keep is shoes by his desk as long as they are not on his feet. Problem solved.

It's an average of less than 1 per day in a very busy subreddit. That is an impossible standard to meet. It would be trivial for a false flag operation to post that often, and there clearly is a motive for that.

Meanwhile, as rhegart commented below, far worse is permitted in other subreddits. The bias is clear as could be.

A note on this, for anybody who's curious. USB-C is actually its own specification, so it's not part of the USB 3.0 series of specs. Presumably it won't be part of the USB 4.0 spec either.

There are rational people on all "sides". Rational people may come to disagree with each other if they have different information available to them, or if they simply have different priorities.

Anybody who thinks all of their opponents are irrational, by virtue of being their opponent, are themselves irrational in that respect. However that says nothing about the political distribution of this particular cognitive bias. I have made no claims concerning that.
