Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway. —Tanenbaum, Andrew S. (1989). Computer Networks. New Jersey: Prentice-Hall. p. 57. ISBN 0-13-166836-6.
The idea was accepted quickly, the rest of the debate was on its spelling and scope.
Propaganda in general is an attempt to influence how you should judge something or feel about something instead of letting you make your own judgements and feelings. It's not that complicated, movies and tv shows always have lots of propaganda in them, some of it is accidental, cultural, but mostly it's a top down effort.

Albert of CyberSpyGuru is the best in the business of fixing credit, second to none…He got rid of all my negative listings and eviction on my credit at a reasonable price. Thanks to him I am gladly living with an excellent score of 810, now as i speak he has also helped over Three of my friends clear their Mortgage and boost their Fico scores , I cant imagine what my life would have been If I had not met him. And for those interested in his services. CYBERSPYGURU AT Gmail {Dot} com.
Compared to other megacities, Tokyo has a low cost of living, and has a huge and effective public transport system.
It's really disappointing that people could get so worked up, over what is essentially deciding which color to paint the shed, that they chase off the project founder. I wonder if there is any way for open source communities to effectively promote the "take a step back and remember what really matters in life" approach to conflict resolution.
Linux handles random in weird ways. Once I migrated from Manjaro to Arch just to learn a bit more about Linux in general. Boot was extremely slow on Arch, but the same setup was ok on Manjaro.

Thing was you need the Haveged daemon to generate entropy, something that should come within the kernel itself.

would love to schedule a call with you to see if there is any pro-bono help I could do. I've thought about a couple creative solutions w.r.t to donation psychology, and have actually pitched ideas similar to Wren before at events. I do full stack web dev and have a couple of ideas for visualizations/UX that may help increase donation/referral behavior

Hi, I'm Marcus from Little Bird.

>> Makernet

I believe they were only doing pad printing/silk printing.

>> The problem with _all_ of these solutions is that these coatings do not work in a reflow oven.

PCBs can be printed on before population with parts (although not always required depending on the design).

We bake our PCBs, specifically in reflow ovens. We adjust our colours so that they match the target colour after heating cycle completes.

>> The solution I've found is pad printing

We looked into pad printing, but it was too limiting in terms of setup time and graphics.

It also lacked the ability to for mass customisation of products.
I'm by no means an outstandingly organised person (ask my ex-partner), yet I find it pitifully easy to pop a date in my calendar reminding me to cancel a trial, and then do it.

Is there really money to be made building services to automate things that don't remotely need automating? Maybe I should jump on it.
Well tell it the fictional character in the story, I wasn't making any assertions on what's right or wrong.
Nope. As I just said, even going the police state route _wont work_. Your premise, that we can make the environment more predicable to make pre-programmed cars easier to program is wrong. That would be attacking the tiny minority of the real world problem. I'm entirely comfortable with that prediction. You disagree, that's fine. I suspect we will both be around to see.

If you want to instead talk about making it safer for human drivers, fine, that's a different subject.
Filebase is not decentralized.

Filebase uses a decentralized service on the backend, but the service itself is centralized. If Filebase shuts off their servers, you lose all your data.

As an analogy, email is decentralized but Gmail is not.
Yes it just fills me with appreciation for what I've taken for granted

Agreed. My program had 9 different tracks you could focus on [0] with many of his titles having their own dedicated track.

>Dominance isn't required for antitrust to apply.

Abuse of dominance is literally the title for the entire relevant subheading of law in the relevant jurisdiction: http://ec.europa.eu/competition/consumers/what_en.html

Abuse of dominance isn't the entirety of competition law, but it sure as balls is the catch-all theory under which this is being pursued. See:

http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-19-4291_en.htm

>If proven, the practices under investigation may breach EU competition rules on anticompetitive agreements between companies (Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU)) and/or on the abuse of a dominant position (Articles 102 TFEU).
In 2003, when I went through this headache, I wasn't even aware of Python. Might have barely made 2.0 at that time.
Pluralsight stung me after the free first 10 days too. I was wary, and even after carefully reading the conditions I didn't think the first payment was automatic.
I had never heard of DoNotPay. Sounds like a really helpful and useful service -- there's a lot of things it does (check out the app).

I lived below the poverty line in college (didn't have loan/grant money; instead I worked 2 days/wk to pay for tuition, rent, gas, and food). The kinds of services they offer would have been so helpful to me back then.
I cut my teeth on 2.2-2.4 and remember getting my hand slapped when 2.4 landed and I used a decorator for the first time.

It was to allow only certain HTTP verbs on a controller function. A pattern adopted by most Python web frameworks today.

I hope my answer didn't come off as ignorant to the COTAP story - I'm sorry if it did.

Thanks for sharing the backstory on Cool Effect. Their effort on marketing to me also reflect the type of marketing that don't work. After spending 5 years at the growth team of Airbnb I'm more convinced than ever that marketing have to have strong ROI that can be measured. If it does, it's an excellent way of growing something. And because of Google and Facebook's dominance, more and more this is becoming one of the very few ways to go really big. I know Wren isn't spending money on marketing yet but having a foundation where that is possible is a great chance to make a really big impact.

I totally agree that educating the rest of the country and policy etc are the top priorities but at the same time you have millions of individuals who want to take individual action but don't know exactly what to do. Both you and Wren seems like great options for them to be involved.
> The Free Trial Card is a virtual credit card you can use to sign up for free trials of any service anonymously, instead of using your real credit card. When the free trial period ends, the card automatically declines to be charged, thus ending your free trial. You don’t have to remember to cancel anything.

That’s not how it works. Just because they can’t bill your card does not mean you’re not on the hook. Anybody that’s forgotten about a gym membership on a expired card knows this first hand. Only reason they won’t go after you is that the LTV and PR isn’t worth it. If it is, they will.

> As he sees it, companies that require you to put in a credit card in order to sign up for a free trial are engaging in deceptive practices.

There’s nothing deceptive about it if the price is disclosed. Far from it. On the sell side it also has the advantage of filtering out people who cannot or would not pay for the service early on.
It's deceptively comfortable :) You can very quickly find yourself dehydrated and in a bad state.
Sure, the source they're referencing, with a plaintext torrent, is here: https://hashes.org/leaks.php?id=515 which was last updated yesterday.

However, this shouldn't be alarming.

1) Attackers already have the plaintext password of these hashes. That's why they're in HIBP's repository in the first place.

2) You should already assume most sites/apps don't have proper security hygiene. Password re-use is what will get you. If you wish to warn your users if they're reusing a password, then HIBP's API should already do well for that.

3) You have truly astronomical odds of generating the same password as one in a leaked database should yours contain enough bits of entropy. Remember that GPU's are making millions of guesses per second in the first place when cracking passwords, and significantly slower if the hashing algorithm protects against GPU attacks.
Microservices are almost completely opposed to agile development. They require a strong architecture before implementation and are much harder to reconfigure regardless of versioning. The running system is also hard to manage.
Twist on the Rats vs. Poisoned Wine Question
You have a 4 different vials of weak poisons. You get to decide how much of each vial to feed each rat. Each poison is a different strength and some poisons interact with each other to be more deadly than they wouldve been independently. You don't know the strength/interaction ahead of time.

You can't just choose to not drink any poison at all because you get paid $$ the more poison that your able to drink without dying, some poisons are worth more $$ to drink than others.

How do approach using rats to figure out the ratio of poisons that maximizes the total amount of poison that you'll be paid to drink but without going too far and dying?

Boards sold on makeymakey.com (since moving away from the US based SparkFun Electronics Inc for production) are made in China, are no longer open-source, lack the gold finish PCB (now silver), moved from AVR to PIC, and no longer Arduino compatible.

So who is making fake makey makeys?

[Edit]

It should be noted that the ShakeUp has a gyroscope, accelerometer and temperature sensor and has way more alligator inputs than product sold on makeymakey.com .

It is also made in Australia whilst being half the price of the competition...
Dicardy is your Digital Personal/Business Card, the modern and easiest way for people to exchange their information, stay connected and up-to-date with each other's information forever. You don’t have to spend money, carry and print so many business/personal cards anymore. You don’t have to ask your friends for any of their social medias’ accounts, for their emails or for their phone numbers anymore. You don’t have to send messages to all of your friends anymore telling them that you will change your phone number or that you have changed any of your social media accounts. Why ? Simply, because Dicardy will take care of all of these for you.
Dicardy aims to connect everyone together forever. as we meet a lot of people daily, it’s hard to keep track and stay up-to-date with our friends/connections’ information (social media accounts, new phone numbers, emails …etc.) especially with the tremendous amount of social media platforms that are increasing day by day. Using Dicardy you will have a section in your profile to add all of your social media accounts and your basic information, or any other custom details that you want to share , send connection requests to your friends, add your friend into categories and specify what each category can see of your information, you could show different information for different categories, allowing you to customise your information according to your needs and manage your privacy the way you want, Dicardy allows you to have full control over your information.

Dicardy is encouraging and helping the world to GO GREEN, According to this article: “27 million business cards are printed daily, resulting into around 10 Billion business cards printed annually and of the 10 billion cards printed each year, 8 billion will be tossed within a week”. These are billions of papers and dollars wasted on printing cards that most of them get thrown away, lost or their information are out of date
Makernet was a little cagey about their process, but my samples show shading in the color. They were using a full-color process where any (or all) colors could be produced in a single pass.

You are right that pad/silk printing would be too limiting if your goal would be to print anything. The goal of pad printing is just to put _a_ color on a board, and then modify your design to that (or two colors, with the tide pod). There are definite tradeoffs. Good work.

PL/I as a Tool for System Programming (1969)
The working class should not be solely responsible for combating climate change. But at the same time, Amazon (and all corporations) are responsible to their shareholders, i.e. to give them a return on their investment. It's the shareholder/investment class that has power to change how companies operate to benefit the planet, but that could potentially lower profits and give competitors an advantage.
See other replies. Guido was for the operator.
I thought the guys who made Makey Makey made it open source and released the files for anyone to make and contribute back to.
Communal ownership has proved to be questionable.

But they do work without issue, until you start stressing the CPU. In the majority of normal workloads, you don't run into thermal throttling, especially if not using the official case.

Also, if you have the official case and want to do this mod - for a few bucks more than the cost of two "pi fans" (which run $8 on Amazon), you can get a well designed case with heat sinks and a fan.

I see very little reason to actually do this mod versus buying a properly designed case besides the urge to tinker.
Let's not equivocate the man with the most power to do something with a random HN commenter who nearly has the least power to do something.
If you want to normalize hate, I can't stop you but I certainly won't stop being critical of racist shit I see posted here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I will try to play it more safe in the future.

Also the novelty of my comment was the connection to minstrel cartoons which is adjacent to the topic of animation. Not many people know this. It's not like I am just making random shit up.
No, you might be thinking about something like Electron. There are WASM VM’s for many platforms and they are very simple and do not involve a web browser. Whether they have a good common ui library is of course a different question, but one that will be resolved in due course.
I regularly do net installs of debian with virtio net and disk. I think this used to be true but it isn't anymore.

Edit: looks like this is supported to at least back to debian lenny, released in 2009.
Adopt strict GTD task stacks available for others to see:

- Current task(s)

- Immediate next queue (priority adjustments, new items can be added by boss)

- Deferred items

- Delegated items

- Medium-term items

- Long-term items

Some task app(s) can help with this. If you want people to know you're working on real stuff, ask for a big cheap monitor and cheap tiny PC/RPi to present your "dashboard."

To handle the OP's exact example:

X: current task

Y: proposed new task

"Do you want X done first, or do you want me to pause X and switch to Y?"

No. Many people want to live somewhere they can get decent Internet connectivity and public services, and probably also some job they can survive off of.

Neither are present in many rural areas and the amount of investment needed especially for infra to catch up is enormous - too much for governments facing a tax competition to rock bottom.

No because there's still the vast majority that doesn't know services like this exist and will still cough up their actual card number to watch Netflix/HBO/whatever because "it's convenient"
Exactly same thing happened to me in India for some UN Child related initiative (they claimed). Ultimately they wanted a credit card for subscribing and I didn't have they. I was wondering why the fuss about Credit card but now I got it that it's for forgetful auto renewals.

`Meetup.com` did that to me once too. Seems companies are fine with this just to renew subscription because who bothers to get it cancelled.
In practice, GPS receivers are typically accurate to no more than 3-4 meters under good conditions (open sky, no obstacles), so even in Australia the difference between WGS-84 and a datum locked to the plate isn't enough to matter for navigation. Specialized equipment can use GPS to produce more accurate measurements, to the point where these things matter, particularly in Australia which as far as I know is moving fastest relative to WGS-84.

An extinction level event asteroid is pretty much a matter of when not if. We probably don't need to go to space to survive, but space is a great research area to develop life sustaining technology, skills and knowledge that could be put into practice on earth to survive the many years it might take for humans to survive that ELE.
My experience as SaaS provider is those who use virtual credit cards "for free trials of any service anonymously" also use fake names and anonymous email providers like 10minutemail.
Wrong in both counts. The largest US cities are among the cheapest large cities in the developed world: https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4758/38890153315_bb29ac1b6c_b.....

Houston and Dallas are 20-25 minutes less: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/....

Not sure if I agree with you regarding the agile part. If each team owns their "micro-service", then they can have their own "sprints".
Great plan. Ban one of the few businesses willing to operate in these areas. Where I am from people lament the “food desert” that exists in certain parts of town, and ignore the complete glut of new establishments that pop up elsewhere. How is it possible that it is more than economically productive to try and fail multiple times in one area, but not even try in another.
Hm, seems this post would have been more actionable a couple days ago :-)
They will cancel majority of the purchases. However, if you were smart, you'd have chosen 1 day shipping and have received the item.

Me? I was not smart and did not select 1 day shipping so it looks like my order will most likely be canceled once Amazon deals with this...
I don't know how to distinguish that from

"You won't believe who's giving a way a repo

#2 will shock you"
The deal (price mistake?) was only available for like 1 hr around 10 or 11 pm PST Monday night...but enough time for hundreds of mistaken orders.
That's a valid risk, but then why single out prepaid cards for this given the rampancy of credit card fraud and theft?

Edit:

An interesting answer elsewhere in the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20465459
This is clearly false. Subsidizing the conversion of the the entire world to clean energy does more good than burning an ounce of coal does harm.

Conversely, planting one tree is insufficient to buy an SUV guilt-free.

There’s inherently a crossover point somewhere.
I like the comment suggesting articles like that being banned. That lens has been one of my dreams for years now for birding. Though 800mm is kinda ridiculous and probably impossible to hand hold.

I did nearly get lucky like this some years back when Walmart $100 gift cards were on sale for $10. All my orders were cancelled. It seems like several of these Amazon orders have been delivered.
They designed a new system and made the time fields too short? Again? The ephemeris only has day of the week? No long timestamp? That's embarrassing.
seeing as we evolved from animals that don't appear to experience guilt about eating other animals, I find it implausible that feeling guilt is the original state and not a pro-social trait that evolved much much later as we started forming societies.
I see them. Two possibilities?

One, your bank doesn't show the full ACH details. This is what it looks like for me at my credit union: ACH Debit PINBOARD - PRIVACYCOM - 7/12/2019 - $25

Two, maybe you enabled the "private payments" setting on your account, which omits the merchant data?
> Much as I find the hype around self-driving cars brain-dead, in this case, the car's AI was not at fault. Even if it could have made the decision to stop in time, the agency to act upon this decision was removed from it.

The agency to react was removed because its reactions are crap. If the AI is braking due to false positives all the time, and the the only way to fix it is to disable its ability to react, then I would say that indeed, it is the car’s AI at fault, albeit indirectly.
