I honestly think the fault here is not technical, it's ISPs.

Between the RIAA/MPAA breathing down their necks about piracy, and the realization they could make a mint charging inflated "business rates" than letting you do what you wanted with your own damn internet connection, shit got locked up tight so fast no one even noticed.

It's not NAT that's why my ISP is blocking half the protocols on the Internet. Why every ISP I've had for the last decade has blocked outgoing HTTP. Why I'd need to us a fucking VPN tunnel just to get SSH to my home computer. It's greed.

It's the forgotten front of the net neutrality fight, and it's gone almost entirely ignored. We don't have the right to our own outgoing traffic anymore, and this has been the case for far longer than IP allocation has been an issue.

"fail pretty spectacularly" ???

That's a failure of a spectacularly stupid way of framing the question. More a case of "One of the many things we'll look for is signs of current life on Mars" rather than "Our mission is to boldly find life on Mars. Don't care about anything else"

How is it failure to ask the question, then be able to answer it? It just is. It's as interesting to know as if there was life on Mars in the past. It's not, however a failure by any stretch of the imagination.
Thanx, I guess the title could use a "per what time unit" addition.
Careful tho. If you don't show up at enough meetings and subtly tell everyone all about your own accomplishments and diminish those of others, people will ask, what does he/she do again? And you'll be put on the next RIF.
I left that space (writing code to drive biotech instruments) because, frankly, engineers were viewed -- and treated -- as cost centers to be minimized. Software companies ime tend to view software engineers as sources of competitive advantage.
I don’t know how successful you are, but I definitely have failed more than enough times to not need to taste it anymore for the rest of my life.
Google found a source[0] that says around 57%. The link here is describing a solar panel as the heat source, but the technical report I found implies it usually uses waste heat from other industrial processes.

Not just companies, but individuals on a massive scale.

In California, 41% of carbon emissions are from transportation, the largest single source.

(IMHO we need to also legalize car-free living in addition to just a carbon tax; it's not much use to tax emissions unless we allow mixed use density and transit, and most cities do not allow that to be built anywhere. )
Isn't it a foregone conclusion that we'll bring some microbes over sooner or later? Don't we have lots that can thrive in that atmosphere, there's sunlight, etc. It just takes a few cells, why should we assume there will be 0 cells in all of Mars, even as we constantly send stuff there?
Well done, Linux as a gaming platform will be dead.
That’s true, it’s easier if you don’t have to do any cross browser testing.

But I still find the debugging very weird. The fact that the VM is stopped on a different line of code than I’m looking at seems to always introduce small little confusions. Have you never had that experience?

It’s possible I’m just overdue to try the tools again. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences.
This is indeed one perspective to have on it, but unfortunately we cannot control what others think. Saying that you'll look for life will lead people to expect you to, for better or worse.

Monoids and Basic Group Theory
Today I do backend work mainly in Linux environments and occasionally some Android, but I still remember my first internship doing Windows Phone development.

It was amazing. The lockstep integration with Visual Studio was head and shoulders above Android and iOS, even to this day. They did JavaScript for native dev via WinJS well before React Native was a thing. I found the tile-based UI refreshingly different and visually appealing. I'm not sure that the world would be better off with Microsoft as a major player in the smartphone space but they definitely created a great operating system.
That is how this particular set of incentive bonuses work. If every marginal dollar you spend on a meeting reduces the amount you get on your bonus, then by definition you are spending money on the meeting out of pocket.

You dont need to diminish others to prove your own. That is the key to a healthy org. I give a lot of praise to engineers when it is due, and tend to insist on taking things where i think its dull work (i personally feel sad punting on dull work, and try not to do it), so it works both ways. By skipping good chunk of meetings, i spare more time to eng, and hands on help.
Because you get public support, and hence funding, as long as you search for life. Not sure that anyone at those organizations cares about that question, it looks more like an obsession of the public and the media.
News on findings such as these assert my belief that the UFO sightings on Earth incl. the recent F18 videos have nothing to do with Aliens, because if it were; why spend Billions to get excited on 'Puff of Gas' on the neighbor planet.

I highly doubt this.
"...AND SUFFERED A DEVASTATING DATA BREACH"
Even the title fails to acknowledge that WE suffered from their breach.

They took our most personal financial information without our permission, made money from it and completely failed to protect it. These A-#&@# should have gone to jail.

The fact that people can say something as stupid as "they did nothing illegal" and possibly be correct is exactly why we need privacy laws.
The thread triggered the overheated discussion detector, formerly known as the flamewar detector, which is software that kicks in when a discussion seems to be generating more heat than light. We monitor those software penalties pretty closely, and turn them off in cases where the thread was just happily active. I don't think this discussion meets that bar, though. Diet threads are surprisingly prone to repetitiveness and anger, as are threads about GMOs, and this one alas combines the two.

> Could this be censorship requested by investors, related to YCombinator? Does this sometimes happen?

No. YC wouldn't ask us to do something that stupid. The trust of this community is approximately 100% of the value that HN has for YC. Neither YC partners nor we on the HN side would ever jeopardize that.
There's a trade-off between convenience and privacy. Identity verification will be a nightmare without a universal unique identifier (of which the US SSN is not because it isn't compulsory) because cross-comparing other personal info is too complex.

Although I know having a unique compulsory personal identity number (as many countries in the world have done) will have these so-called "privacy advocates" in the U.S. screaming at the top of their lungs. So either deal with it or leave it.

In a perfect world, with nice roadmaps and planning and easy negotiations, yes Microsoft will develop hooks for you.

In the world where you have two months to get some ridiculous feature out because your competitor announced they’re doing it, it helps to just have the source code and throw engineers at the problem.

Samsung was embroiled in a very bitter IP dispute with Apple, in which it was found to have violated Apple's patents, essentially copying the design of the iPhone, and ordered to pay over a half a billion dollars.

Yet American companies aren't banned from doing business with Samsung, nor should they be.

Sky Credit Solution Helped Me
Everyone, please listen up!!! I have a good income but I had a terrible FICO as a result of some late payments and evictions, this made it impossible for me to afford certain things so I needed my credit fixed. I read about SKY CREDIT SOLUTION on various review sites through google, I texted them via (620) 399 6316, and they increased my score to 795, they also added some positive tradelines to my profile. I’m glad that finally there is a way to beat the system. Email them via SKYCREDITSOLUTION247@GMAIL.COM. They are definitely the answers to our prayers. Don’t just sit there take action today!!!
I thought common knowledge. Some old lens used radioactive elements. But I was under the impression the glass protect quite a bit of it.
I think it's actually exactly the opposite.

We don't have the ability to definitively detect or not detect life on Mars. So if we send a machine with the goal of detecting life and it doesn't, well maybe it's there we just didn't detect it.

So it's better to pretend that we can't actually detect while actually sending detectors.
GPS satellites need to be absurdly precise to work: they need to account for both kinds of relativity and literally carry atomic clocks to make sure that they can provide consistent time. Most bodies are more or less spherical enough for the shell theorem to be a very good approximation.
I was more thinking of a shared workstation setting, which i am sure doesnt rrally exists

Laptops are not ideal work machines for most swes. At the very least they need a large screen, and more functional keyboard, and at that point you might as well give them a full workstation.
Not a real particular reason, that's just because go was the language I knew the best and I was enthusiastic because no one has built a real chatbot in Go
Seriously. ngrok is underpriced - I would pay double the ask without even flinching. I can't even count how many times it has actively aided in me getting paid.
You can only carry a certain amount of instruments at a time, so you want to start off broad, then send incrementally more specific detectors as you identify things that are interesting. An 'is this definitely life?' experiment will probably not be sent until we have some very good likely candidates and the mission will probably be to get samples back off planet and into to a earth or LEO lab (depending on paranoia) where in depth experiments can be put together in person without the brutal restrictions on equipment that come with extra terrestrial rovers.
They're called through os.system.

Say that you have a website that relies on downloading content from URLs supplied by users. A user can send a "specially constructed" URL ("anything;commandgoeshere") and run any command they'd like on your server.
Wrong question: It's not a competition.

There are cases when you have some complicated json and just want to search for stuff. Then you use grep + gron.

There are cases when you want a complete json processing tool. Then you use jq.

You can probably simulate each approach with the other approach, but the code needed to this is just too tedious to write. So you use whatever tool fits your use case.
That's not always as absurd as it sounds. Particularly talented people can do it. The case of Seymour Cray, admittedly an outlier on the talent side, comes to mind. He was basically a senior team lead from the moment he got his first job, and that was in 1951.

NAT is definitively not a security layer and was never intended as such. You can get better security with a simple stateful ingress firewall (block packets not associated with an established/related connection) which is what most people think of for security with NAT.

The only slight benefit it has imparted is the privacy benefit of hiding multiple devices behind a single address, but they can usually be individually profile anyway.
Building new transmission lines are mostly a political problem, not a technical nor economic one.

Nobody wants to allow anything to change near them anymore. The chances of new transmission are extremely slim no matter the economic or environmental benefits because of the process that has been enacted over the past decades.
Chinese have a good grasp of add-on innovation. Give a base product and they'll pad it with all manner of features to make it a very marketable product. Look at DJI's action camera's, drones, etc. I'm not even going to touch on the age old conflict in combating apparel clones in China town.

I have a feeling its going to be very difficult to cage this kind of innovation unless there is a recurrent policy in place to periodically ban the import of a wide range of Chinese products.

On the other hand there are lots of super smart Chinese students in top tier colleges who also make salient contribution to research work that benefits us in one way or the other.

The bigger question is how do we resolve both markets to mutually benefit from sunken R&D as opposed to how we starve consumers because of slow paced tinkering refinements when the other party can speed the product to market.

Case in point: Lit Motors
Simply put: The risk of ending up generally unwanted and unable to get back up after your current gig goes south, or you have to take a leave due to an illness or other life obligations, rises dramatically over the years due to systemic ageism in our industry.
Coincidentally, happen to be in Kerala on a work related trip.

Does they react if you tell them you have been assaulted, which is more common than sexual assault and where men are significant more often victim than women?

Does it react if you tell it that you been robbed, something which men also is suffer more from than women?

"Help siri, I have been shot!". More men again, more common than rape, surely a device designed for men would react?

I would suggest a different narrative. The reason they react to hearth attack and suicide but not murder, rape, assault and sexual assault has nothing to do with gender. The idea of having a doctor AI in the phone is a ancient one with a long documented history in AI research. Not so much with a police in the phone.

The gender argument would make sense if the assistant only knew about prostate cancer but had no idea about breast cancer.
Honestly I think the adoption of TLS has more to do with free certificates from LetsEncrypt and CloudFlare than the Snowden leaks.

As much as I'd like to think people were concerned about the privacy of their communications... I don't think most of the masses actually care about security or avoid conveniences based on threats to their privacy...

He completely failed to understand, or even mention, the internet as it was then developing. Before we got shanghaied by adtech, and "social".

His small vision of the information highway was a world full of Encarta CDs and Micrsoft Windows services that you'd subscribe to.

The main memory of the book though is "oh boy, what a boring read". Some achievement at a time when computing was firmly in its most exciting period, before it became a commodity.
In Japan, virtually all full time employees get a salary and a bonus as part of their compensation. As stated in the article, the bonus is often as much as the salary. Japanese employees usually get bonuses either once, twice or three times a year on a regular schedule. Usually the bonuses are essentially fixed, although you don't officially know what they are until you get paid them. They are fixed enough that if there is a big change, it is usually a big surprise. The system is different for each company, but often salary is based on seniority/position and bonuses are based on how well your department performed -- though some companies also do bonuses based on seniority/position. Again, different companies do things slightly differently, but it's not uncommon to use this system so that everyone knows exactly what salary they should receive based on their seniority/position, but then the company can adjust it arbitrarily based on how happy they are with you.
Why is it that some people think that scientists are all lying about their motives for money? Scientists tend, on the whole, to be fairly bright. Hightly technical people who have money as their objective, are generally not working at the sharp end of highly speculative research. I know one of the UK experts on glide characteristics of hypersonic vehicles, he refuses to work military but sometimes gets consulted by NASA on aerodynamic assisted slingshot concepts. He makes a living as a driving instructor.
The problem with that work is that it’s “legacy.” Lower paying, less interesting technology, more subject to mass layoffs. It’s basically just like being “streamed” in school.
A way to apply this to a startup today is to have a budget for each team (or even individual) that they can spend on fun activities (office beer, team bonding night out, or whatever other activity, something people look forward to) and have each meeting or conference room use cost money from that budget.

I think very quickly unnecessary meetings will start to disappear.

China is way ahead in long distance power transmission.[1] Some of the ultra-high voltage DC technology comes from ABB, so it's available from non-China sources. This isn't technically that hard. It's a land acquisition problem where some little landowner on the route can block the project.

Maybe forget trying to get to Texas and go east to Illinois, and feed Chicago and points east.

I've heard before that "NAT is not intended as security", but isn't the effect still the same, that an external device can't connect to a device behind NAT without explicit configuration allowing it?
Because even if life exists, we do not yet know where to look for it, or what we would be looking for. The surface is bombarded by UV and radiation, so very unlikely. Should we look in cliff shadows? Near ice deposits? The bottoms of craters? Near the equator where it is warmer? Or near the poles where there might be water? We could look a long time without ever learning whether or not life exists.

Instead, we look for things associated with life. Methane can be produced by life, so let's see where it's coming from first and then worry about whether we can send a probe there. Maybe look for organic molecules, then try to see if there is a trail to life. Try to figure out where on Mars liquid water exists, since that is a prerequisite for life as we know it.

And in the meantime, there's plenty of basic science to be done. Geology teaches us about what Mars was like a long time ago. That too can give us a hint towards whether life was possible, and where. Understanding the atmosphere and its routine seasonal swings helps us understand the environment so that later, when looking for life, we don't get excited and confuse a weather phenomena with evidence of life.

Lastly, physics of our probes dictates where we can send them. For our best, heaviest probes, we don't have room on the rocket for a lot of fuel to slow down. So sites need to have low elevation to give parachutes a chance to slow us down. If we want the probe to be powered by solar, we need to be near the equator. Even if not powered by solar, we probably want to avoid being near the poles where winter can last a whole Earth year.
Wave Function Collapse Algorithm
I started hearing about age discrimination from others, IIRC, when I was in my late 20s, and blissfully unaffected.

The first time I recall hearing it, a colleague (very plugged into the dotcom startup scene) was at a big event where one of the more reputable FAANGs happened to have employees doing recruiting. Colleague saw a group of the employees hanging out and chatting, and was appalled by how they were just ripping on one of the people who had talked with them, because he was "old". I got the impression like of a clique of popular high school kids, mocking another student who was "ugly" or "poor", for having the audacity to ask out one of them. I recall being surprised, and thinking badly of them for acting that way, and I don't think I'd heard of that kind of age discrimination in software before.

I was aware of a positive "whiz kid" boost people could get, by being skilled ahead of their years, but not a negative bias towards people in 30s and 40s. (The majority of my work at that point had been at a technical software engineering company, where the developers in their 40s tended to be well-regarded.)
