That article seems rather tendentious. It claims that 'Jeff Glickman and the State Dept. photo analysts looked at the image and asked, “What does the thing on the reef look like?” They concluded, “It looks like Electra landing gear wreckage.”' but, as told in the article, the only candidate they considered for “what does the thing on the reef look like?” was, in fact, the wreckage of an Electra landing gear, damaged, and adjusted until it was possible to say that the image was "consistent with Lockheed Electra landing gear components" (at least they did not attempt to sharpen the image, on account of the risk of "introducing information that isn’t really there.") (Update: after seeing several other zooms of the object, I get the impression that the one chosen for this article did undergo some form of processing.)

AFAIK, "consistent with" merely means that the hypothesis cannot be ruled out, but that does not seem to be a high bar when the image is very small and blurred.

So what else might they have considered as a candidate for the object? How about anything that might of been swept off the nearby wreck by nearly eight years of storms to start with, not to mention tree stumps, pieces of coral and other natural detritus that storms regularly move around? There seems to be a lot of confirmation bias here.
It doesn't have to be a large "percentage of total content". It just has to be the content that matters to most users...
The big thing is getting coverage. Especially coverage that isn't just matter-of-fact style reporting. If you can help with the press this is always a high-impact activity.

Ah, that definitely changes the calculation completely.

The constitution protects your rights with the government, not your college.
Yeah, a lot of high-value secure systems run Linux and GNU. Web services, government systems, the vast majority (edit: it's now all) of the TOP500 supercomputers etc. I suspect at least part of it is that these systems get much more targeted attacks because of their high value, whereas viruses are to an extent un-targeted shotgun attacks. I suspect the economics of virus writing dictate that most of the effort is put towards the most popular platform, i.e. Windows.

There's this course in pluralsight that talks about two orgs that promote scrum. The other one seems to be giving out the wrong ideas. I think it's this one (copied from wikipedia):

In 2002, Schwaber with others founded the Scrum
Alliance[18] and set up the Certified Scrum accreditation
series. Schwaber left the Scrum Alliance in late 2009 and
founded Scrum.org which oversees the parallel Professional
Scrum accreditation series.[19]

I think it was Scrum Alliance that's giving out ideas like Burndown chart is required in scrum.
Well said. Anxiety is sometimes a signal that there's an underlying imbalance in your life. Just like you start tearing up when you feel sad. Crying isn't bad in that scenario.

Anxiety works similarly. You gotta start asking yourself, why am I feeling anxious? Where could my life be out of balance?
It's always fascinating to watch modern individuals rediscover wisdom that is centuries old, whenever modern people rediscover vices that are centuries old.

That is an answer. Everyone has a finite amount of time available to them. Trying to influence the Hong Kong situation from overseas may very well be a net-negative (the aforementioned exploitable "Westerners fomenting civil unrest" angle), or a net-neutral effect at best (assuming China just ignores all the gweilo[2] making noise and everyone proceeds under their own agency to resolve their internal problems).

In either of those possible cases, you can maximize your contribution to global well-being by....focusing on a problem elsewhere, likely one closer to home.

Tumblr had a wealth of self-produced and curated adult content for and by gender and sexual minorities, with meaningful discussion. No, I don't think the internet has enough of that.
That's actually a good fit. Bravo. I expect Automattic understands the space infinitely better than Verizon.
There was a Model 3 owner at the last apartment I lived in. The buildings had garages for some apartments, and he had one. But the management wouldn't let him hire an electrician to wire up a 240V charger. So he left the interior garage door open and ran a cable to the clothes dryer outlet instead.
Similarly, men often don't have the emotional support structures that women do.

Speaking anecdotally, women confide in their friends much more readily and about more serious topics - the kind of topic that men might take 4 drinks to get up the nerve to address. Men aren't "allowed" to be emotionally vulnerable around anyone except their most trusted confidantes, which often ends up being their girlfriend or wife. And if it's not something you feel like you can discuss with her, then it gets bottled up without an outlet.
20:1 from 3000 meters gives you 60 km to line up and land, that's not as bad as a shuttle but not nearly as good as an actual glider. Personally I'd love to be on the ground in that situation.

You can't just land a 787 on a bit of farmland. BTW if you have to deadstick a commercial plane then the 787 is probably the best, it has the best glide ratio of all commercial planes in service today. But I'd hate for that to be put to the test.
This is a really important question and needs addressing. Unless I missed something, it appears the title was changed solely to remove the fact that the beekeepers were black, which is the entire point of the column. If true, this is... well, embarrassingly racist.

How do you decide which one needs to change its name? There's no objective measure for which is 'larger'.

The vast majority of consumers are not going to lookup an FDIC number, and even if they did, it is still not optimal since banks regularly merge which would cause confusion.
Newer Office 365 client builds are installing it by default. Worse, they didn't move away from the per-user installation. Instead they just took the brain-damaged route of force-installing it inside each user's profile when they logon.

Password Managers are the new goto for obtaining all passwords and web browser zero days make it very easy to lift and then use for a variety of purposes.

I have an answer. If you don't like it, don't ask for it. You help more Hong Kong not meddling a situation that doesn't concern you. As an example, the "arab spring" did no good to no arab country/population and a lot of people "helped" that to happen. Which brought us ISIS, a problem for all the world. Not help something like that happen again is a great help to Hong Kong.

Non-violence only works with violence waiting in the wings. Talking with MLK is way more palatable when the other option is saying, "we are willing to pay the price of freedom and that price is death (for both of us)."
Sir I’m so touch by the psychology and the empathy you use to explain what I tumbled at explaining... I’ll never have those speaking skills as I’m slightly autistic and socially awkward, but when I make a two or three millions (depending on valuation) with my startups, but I’m less than no-one in a (nerd) company, I know people are using my weakness.

World is wild ok, but diversity is just a way to exclude people who can’t defend themselves.
That is a nonsensical comparison. Shuttle's glide ratio was 4.5:1 - barely better than a brick
Similar situation. I kept going to the doctors for a while, but they insist everything is fine.

I’ve got anxiety in general, but also some more specific health anxiety from a history of being obese. I’ve fixed the issue now, but the statistical reason to believe that _this time_ there’s actually something wrong doesn’t help the anxiety.

I spend a lot of time convincing myself that yes, I can in fact breathe right now, and no, I’m not actively dying of a heart attack. Very stressful situation
"Don't be nervous and insecure" is exactly the message that tells men they aren't allowed to be anxious. What is insecurity except fear that your self will be judged and rejected? To "just be yourself" without being "nervous and insecure" means projecting confidence and hiding any anxiety that your self will be judged and rejected.

I.e., if you have any anxiety, hide it, deal with it internally, because showing it isn't acceptable behavior for a man.

Edit/P.S.: Now, I don't think you're 100% wrong; I think you just accidentally highlighted how difficult this is. There are different ways of expressing anxiety, and they aren't all equally off-putting. There can also be nuance in what kinds of feelings are appropriate to show to strangers versus friends and intimate partners. But it's a plain fact that many people judge men for hiding anxiety without honestly examining their own responses to it. Many people do exactly what you do, stigmatizing the appearance of anxiety on one hand while judging people for hiding it on the other.
I once had a page that prevented pasting, but last pass's password generator still worked. So I put in a long password using that, but when I clicked to register it came up with a blank error message. Turns out they had a 16 character limit that was only enforced when you typed in the box, so I had to count the number of letters they allowed me to type and then let lastpass generate a password of that length. Infuriating.
Sorry couldn’t respond due to fault segmentation.

Ask HN: Asking for letter of intent before free trial?
We are doing some pre-sales with enterprise clients. Part of the process is to give the client a 7-day free trial so they can play with our product.

My question is: should I ask the client to sign a LOI (to simplify things, using a Google form) before the 7-day free trial?

Asking for a LOI can test the level of interest but might delay or even kill the trial deal, since some of our clients are big names in the game. Not asking for it seems like giving away free product...

Would love to get advice from founders who are also selling to enterprise.
People who had nudes on their tumblr weren't on tumblr just for nudes. It was just great to have a place you could stash everything you liked, kinks included.

Not everyone is being hostile. I think you've been beat up on this thread, but I wasn't being aggressive to you. I quite clearly stated that you use the search page on the landing site to find stuff locally. The original post was specifically about not getting results in search engines, and that's what I was attempting to support.

For me, I've never even heard of the website in question. Why would I, as it's not a field of interest for me. However, if I were to search for it, it would be a search engine result, not a search field on some website I have never knew existed.
You could even replace every command I run with a malware version simply by altering the $PATH in ~/.bashrc. If you manage to replace, say, apt-get with a malware version, you'll get admin permissions every time I run `sudo apt-get ...`.
I've forgotten which movie now, but there's a big scene in a blockbuster where they destroy a building for real. The studio made a deal with the town to take a dilapidated building, destroy it, then build the town a new building to replace it.

When I used to watch the Walking Dead I kept thinking there was a missed opportunity to do something similar in Detroit with any post-apocalyptic show and some abandoned neighborhoods. Even razing the properties afterward and paying for disposal would be an improvement in safety.
Indeed, letting players try to scam each other seems slightly less evil than scamming the players directly.
Yeah a CDN works ok but is it really necessary to have a few small giant companies in charge of distributing our information when we all have computers that can connect directly?

Then when you are talking about media heavy web applications, that's a totally different use case than just sharing a blog post or whatever. So why are they all mixed together and treated like the same thing? I think we should separate them more and create systems that are designed from the start for purpose with current decentralization technologies. Rather than keeping bloated systems that evolved over time just out of tradition.
I don't have a ready reference, but my recollection is:

1. she wasn't a master of the airplane, having crashed it on takeoff before due to overloading

2. she had a history of overruling her navigator and being wrong

3. she tried to find a tiny island at the limit of the airplane's range in a time when navigation wasn't that accurate

4. did not have proper training on the radio and direction finder equipment

5. flew into a headwind and kept going

6. proper technique at the time was to fly towards the centerline between Howland and another island, doubling the likelihood of one being in visual range. She did not do this.

This was at a time when such an attempt would be very, very unforgiving of mistakes. I don't think there's much of a mystery. (WW2 saw a lot of airplanes disappear over the Pacific with no trace.)

Lindbergh would have had a very hard time missing Europe. His biggest problems were fatigue, icing, and headwinds. I think Lingbergh took a much more calculated risk. His predecessors disappeared without a trace.

Operating a manual car is as much as a life skill as operating a manual loom. It'll be relegated to specialist hobby eventually. Some things are destined to be replaced by fully automatic systems, for the gain of productivity and convenience. An auto-loom can do the work of many, many people, so using a manual loom is now a craft show and museum pastime.

To those that don't know, Povey is something of a giant in Speech Recognition. It's hard to find a recent ASR paper that doesn't cite him. So while his behavior is reprehensible he's probably not wrong that someone will hire him anyway.
Heh, yeah. The 'apartment living on a bike' hypothesis is really at odds with itself in this sense, I feel.

If you own and live in a place long term then you can slowly bring materials to it, build up furniture, etc, it all works and makes sense.

But really this all seems to be based on hyper-specialism. The moving company is the only one allowed to use the roads. You've no space for tools or materials, so no DIY, get the joiners in. And so on and so forth.

Personally I find that really depressing. You may as well just plug yourself into the wall and turn on VR.

With a dividend, you get an amount of income, X, and you get to keep the stock and sell it in the future for even more money, Y. Yes, you get taxed on it both times. But you get two payments of income: X and Y, both taxed at capital gains rates.

With a buyback, you might get X income. But in order to get you X gains the company needs to pay Z (current share price), which is always more expensive than paying a dividend (generally for dividend paying companies, a share trades for 10x-100x the amount the dividend would be for). So the company either pays 100x or it buys back less stock, rewarded fewer investors. Additionally, any shareholder that participates in the buyback is now closed off from getting income Y for any stock sold back. Alternatively, if you don't participate in the buyback, you must hope the company maintains or grows its share price, or else your gains fall below X and you're no longer deferring tax, you're just losing money.

(IOW, for the same amount of cash, a buyback is several times less efficient at returning gains to investors as a dividends. And this means that rather than increasing the price per share, buybacks frequently have the opposite effect, or no effect, because the company also has significantly less cash on hand after the buyback.

Then why do companies love buybacks? Executives love buybacks because it lets them exchange their equity compensation out-of-schedule. This is the primary driving force behind the rise of buybacks. The reason they open buybacks to the public is to avoid running afoul of SEC insider trader regulations.)

>Is the AMP cache any different from any other CDN caching assets

I'm not an expert but Google AMP is not a simple CDN cache. The Google-owned servers also proxies API calls to whitelisted urls like approved ad networks and Google Analytics. (Expand all the triangles in the list: https://amp.dev/support/faq/platform-and-vendor-partners/)

A cache service like Cloudflare CDN doesn't do that. (Although there's an example of somebody trying Cloudflare's new "Workers" functionality to proxy an api call on the server side instead of the browser side: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/google-analytics-proxy-wo...)

For publishers that use ad networks, Google's AMP is a different value proposition from a typical CDN. Because Google's AMP has a different technical architecture, it solves a different problem than a CDN.

Yes, Cloudflare could conceivably add more functionality to their service to proxy ad network api calls like Google AMP but it wouldn't buy them as much of a speed boost because Cloudflare doesn't own/control the "google.com" domain that serves search results. It's "www.google.com" that has Google's trusted javascript code to preload AMP data that is executed on the user's web browser.

I've actually rooted an Asus router owned by a relative, this was about 5 years back so it's hopefully fixed now. Noticed some strange behavior after a mistype and tried something like `whoami` (not exactly) and got root back so tried a reverse she'll with NC which worked perfectly. Googled it afterwards and found a ton of similar flaws on other home routers.
Tried to do some kind of responsible disclosure but never got a reply or saw a fix then I forgot about it.

I wonder if it has even been towed/impounded?
The disregard is universal. Those people who disregard bicyclists and pedestrians are also disregarding drivers. A lot of it is ignorance and incompetence. And it works both ways. Pedestrians and bicyclists (most of whom are also drivers) equally have disregard for others. It’s just that usually they’re only going to hurt themselves or inconvenience someone.

Just in the past two days I’ve seen:

A driver turn make an unprotected left through traffic going straight in the other direction and through pedestrians in the crosswalk.

A bicyclist skip a stop sign and turn left in front my car. (It’s rare I see a bicyclist stop for stop signs at all.)

A pedestrian standing on the corner pointed at an angle towards the intersection giving no indication to any of the traffic if he was intending to cross and in what direction.

A driver run a red light full seconds after it was red.

A driver stop in the middle of the road for no apparent reason. (Uber/Lyft drivers frequently do this even when they could pull out and in easily.)

A driver pass someone in the turning lane while skipping a stop sign and then doing about 2x the speed limit.

A bicyclist give a driver the finger when the driver was making a legal right on green and the bicyclist was trying to pass on the right.
