IMO just because it's open source doesn't mean it's safe.

I would trust a closed source project that has been thoroughly and extensively vetted by a third-party auditor I trust far more than an open source project that has no audit for me to reference.

As I am not a professional security auditor, my ability to understand the minutiae of developer decisions (intentional and unintentional) in some multi-million-LOC project is basically a limit approaching zero. My looking at the source code to give myself a false sense of security would only increase my risk, IMO.

It's like a restaurant tells you "yeah we have a clean kitchen, you can go take a quick look yourself!" and it's like, do you know to check that water and disinfectant buckets can't be within x feet of each other? To temp every fridge and warmer to ensure no danger zones? To monitor glove usage and hair net usage? And a thousand other things?

Being open source basically means that a nice auditor could do some audit work for free to help the community, but that's about it from my perspective.

Unless some of you are actively code reviewing the entirety of Chromium prior to launching any build of it ???
Interesting to see the intermediate nose shape as it evolved from ape to human.
Yeah, that's one reason I use brave. The parent was suggesting that they wanted to do something like this without Brave, but I don't know of a real competitor.
How does this compare to t-digest?

Well beyond suggesting that, as stated in other threads, as the criminals get smarter they will simply leave the phone at home and yes, innocent people that have a digital footprint near (and when) the crime will be caught instead. Once the police have identified a potential fall guy and they are black, or an immigrant or some other disadvantage, we'll see eyewitnesses come forward to "help" the police officer.
Why shouldn't we hear what nationalists have to say? Who gets to decide what is a conspiracy theory? They're not all as simply false as flat earth. Keto in the low-fat 90s would have been a conspiracy theory and a culture of censorship would have killed it.

We need many groups of people believing different things and civilly arguing for what's correct. We don't need de-platforming or cancelling - that can only lead to groupthink and groupthink is incredibly dangerous: see the housing crisis or the Nazis.
I'm not arguing the veracity of his claims - just that his claims aren't new to the company. After all its imperative that the company is marketed as a "health" solution in order to recruit and skirt regulations, so I wouldn't automatically believe they are acting "morally"; Internally they might believe they need as many teens hooked as possible.
The mean, inclusive of subspecialty surgeons, is somewhere around 375k. The minimum is not 400.

But if it will make you feel any better, the same argument holds for pediatrics residents, who will go on to make an average of about 135 after their decade-plus of training and loans.
What would be the difference over Brave then?
It isn't silly. How about I don't trust either one of them?

Brave is (and you are) saying I should trust Brave because they're going to rip out Google's tracking and insert their own instead. No thank you. I'll stick with Firefox and whatever chicanery Mozilla is up to.
This is a good point, but it does put them in a temporarily highly exploitable position. In some sense they are being paid later in their career for the work they are doing now, and so have lots of incentive to put up with bad behavior. I see this as similar to "lottery ticket" fields like entertainment.
Why does it no longer exist?
That's certainly a part of the irony in how much they'd prefer to hire white collar SV labor than blue collar labor anywhere else. For the average salary of just one PhD in "data sciences" in SV cost of living you could often hire an entire floor of a call/support/service center in some Midwest state. (Though few of those consider labor an asset either, that's a more systemic problem in how the current zeitgeist of capitalism views the entire labor market, unfortunately.)
I'm a consultant. If my client disallowed me to work on other projects, they shouldn't be my client for long. Or, if they want those hours, they're free to pay me for them what someone else will.
Disclosure: Got a preview of this product, my opinions only.

> You ask for writing and descriptions on why a model was chosen, why features matters - are you grading this automatically? That would be a feat.

Grading is apparently not automatic, which is good as I am not a fan of the Kaggle approach in this demo.

> The task is waaay to easy (even if you do believe there is a market for identifying people who can predict well)

You'd be very surprised about how candidates can respond to these types of questions!

> Python is overly limited. Why not SQL or R?

The full product allows Python, R, and Julia, with popular packages preinstalled for Python/R.
10x is not at all an exaggeration. The cheapest iPhone is $750, and there are dozens of Android phones that cost less than $75. Not good ones, but millions of people do buy them, and for those people Google is effectively a monopoly.
Marijuana is a plant that is very easy to grow, has few negative long-term side effects, has several medicinal properties, and its ban and subsequent enforcement existed to disenfranchise anti-war folks and minorities. Additionally its ban helped gangs in South and Mezoamerica make a lot of money by selling it in the US.

Cigarettes have few positive side effects and heavily contributes to the #1 preventable disease in the US: cardiovascular disease. AFAIK there are no outright bans on nicotine or tobacco products. However, the places you may consume them in public are shrinking (and often the same restrictions are placed on marijuana). Also the kind of products that are attractive to kids are being targeted (again, AFAIK companies are not allowed to market marijuana - or alcohol - to children).

It seems to me that tobacco used to be much more prevalent but is being re-categorized from "acceptable everywhere" into the same group as alcohol. And marijuana is being re-categorized from Schedule 1 to the same category as alcohol.
$5 that Uber is doing this to avoid regulation AND can use voodoo on their backend to surpress the effective daily wage paid to drivers by spacing out pickup requests.
It would probably be obvious if there was always a ship over the cables.
My (family) health insurance is more than that. If you're paying for all of your own health insurance, it can easily be a lot more.
Syscoin platform: something is cooking
It's not just about effort.

Doctors work hard, and so does my barista making my coffee. But let's be honest: they shouldn't be paid the same simply because they both work hard.
That's interesting and also essentially nullifies Brave's credibility as some kind of privacy browser. Either they are ignorantly unaware or they are complicit in supporting wikipedia, one of the many digital organizations that have in the last years gone full on dystopian censorship thought police, even if it is not apparent to the casual observer.

Case in point beyond just their close relationship and integration into censorious and authoritarian Google and Youtube, look for a link to the official government report on the definitely not muslim Bataclan attack in Paris, which details the gruesome slaughter, torture, disfigurement, dismemberment, and torment the attackers perpetrated upon their victims; which was all of course withheld from the public until it was forced into the light by the court case. You will not find a link to the report in spite of it being out for many months now, and you will be unsuccessful at adding a link to the report, let alone highlighting the brutal descriptions from the several hundred pages long report, somewhere in the wikipedia page.

It's full on censorship, and the most pernicious and nefarious and sick part of this digital censorship is that deletion, shadow banning, banning, or simply colluding across organizations to erase someone's digital personality and identity goes basically unnoticed by the general public that is none the wiser that someone was ushered off to the digital gulag or digital mass grave ... pooof ... that comment, information, person is gone, with not trace and no accountability or transparency.
You Can’t Trust Apps Today – and How to Fix It
Personalized RNA vaccines mobilize specific therapeutic immunity against cancer
To be precise, it was 289 million on July 1st 2018, and 248 million on July 9th 2019. It was 239 million on August 24. Yes, the numbers are huge. Any product that has this many users would be considered a major success, but the trend is still troubling.
I've been considering taking up studies in medicinal chemistry. And it seems that job offers in that field often mention PhD as at least desirable, sometimes mandatory.
That's true, but you have to calculate the gain from some cost basis. It shouldn't be 0.
Ask HN: Will Quantum Computing Break Bitcoin?
Agreed. I don't want to see hosts challenging their guests' ideas. I appreciate Sean Carrol's physics podcasts for exactly the same reason: he doesn't always agree with his guest's interpretation of quantum mechanics or understanding of consciousness, but he does not argue with them - he helps them present their best case.

If you want to see guests arguing with their hosts, well that's a form of entertainment you can get on cable.
Why should it be the manager who gets moved and not the subordinate? The manager is almost by definition more important to the company, and it's a consensual relationship that both agreed to and both knew the rules.

Blakeley is claiming her career was damaged here, but what does she think should have happened? That Drummond's career was damaged instead? If you accept the principle people shouldn't report directly to their love partners, one of them has to change job and it's entirely reasonable to assume that the one lower on the rungs has less impact from moving (on everyone else). The alternative is to fire both if they have a relationship even if there's nothing wrong with their work or the relationship itself, which would be extreme and cruel.

This looks a lot like a repeat of the Rubin affair. Colleagues in a happy relationship. Relationship goes wrong, woman tries to drag Google corporate into it, presumably to gain some sort of advantage. It's not really any of their business.

it's a pretty big leap to go from "discreet device" to "designed for teens". have you seen people using old-school vapes with the huge battery pack and dense clouds? I'd argue that adults are more interested in avoiding that image than teens.
Did you factor in depreciation as well? I would imagine that the additional miles on the vehicle would cause pretty significant depreciation, and would shorten the life of the vehicle, requiring you to buy a new one sooner if you are planning on keeping it until it dies.
Unix in the Browser (WASM)
Maybe it's less about the quality of your code for this and more about how you do on: estimating your time, hitting your schedule, collaborating metrics (response time, ticket closing, etc.)?
Thank you for the feedback!

- We are not automatically grading it. We have learned that in the past that trying to automatically grade candidates on such challenges biases their approach, which breaks the point of a good data science challenge.

- that's good to know. we are not really focusing on the final outcome but how creatively a candidate can go about the problem. the dataset allows for some good amount of creativity.

- Ah. can you elaborate what you mean by overly limited? We do support R.

The bizarre, desperate life of NYC’s most notorious party crasher
That would be an interesting thought experiment. What if a country did say there's no tax on cryptocurrencies, would it be a net benefit for them or not?

On the plus side a lot of (rich) crypto investors would presumably help the country because they would have a lot of money to spend. On the negative side they might lose out on valuable tax income.
Large multinational. They own everything I do even in spare time according to contract. I don't care and would fight in court if a problem arises with a future project - no time for projects now anyway. Contract is probably invalid in terms of these clauses in DK.
I mean, it's technically parseable, since otherwise perl (the program) wouldn't be able to function. However, to parse it requires - as that article demonstrates - a preexisting knowledge of what certain words mean, and those meanings are dependent on context. That's easy for perl, since it already has to know what "whatever" means in order to compile/execute it, but is - if not impossible - than prohibitively difficult for something like a syntax highlighter or other tool meant to parse Perl without executing it per se.

Perl is, in this regard, very similar to natural language, which should be entirely unsurprising given that Larry Wall comes from a linguistics background and explicitly designed Perl to borrow various characteristics from natural languages.

From what I understand, though, Perl6's grammar has significantly fewer of these sorts of parsing complexities ("fixing" them was one of the design goals, IIRC).
> Weak people are afraid of ideas

And weak guests advocating weak ideas are afraid of hosts who will challenge them. So I guess Rogan's show is the ideal venue for them.
I’ve kept a beard since my late teens, and frankly it never occurred to me that some men may not be able to grow one. This has me curious. Do you mean it literally doesn’t grow, as in you don’t even need to shave - or just that it looks thin or uneven when you let it grow?
Noted. We have to add more details as to why kmdr cli today doesn't pull from your system.

The biggest obstacle for doing that is parsing manpages. Kmdr uses explainshell.com's parser for extracting options from manpages, but the parser fails to detect many options and subcommands' options. Kmdr's repository of definitions extends past man page parsing thanks to human verification and additions that help us to explain commands with subcommands, e.g. docker, kubectl, docker, git, npm, yarn, pip, etc..
I don't use that feature unless the infraction is very major (like the guy who swerved into incoming traffic while texting). The reason being is I don't want to look like I'm complaining for the sake of complaining or trying to get free rides/Uber credit.
But Uber's opponents seem to be arguing that $21/hr is too low, and it'd give drivers a worse deal than passing the law. If that's true, passing the law will kill Uber's competition even more effectively.
This should not just mean working from home. Maybe companies could become distributed. Like entire teams getting space from where they like instead of sitting at corporate campus.

Team working with large client? Why not get short term office close by.
I am led to believe that the turnover for Uber, Lyft, etc. is pretty high. I think a lot of people, after doing it for a few months, realize that after the cost of burning up their car is taken into account it's not making them much.

So, why don't they choose not to offer their services to Uber? Well, I think they mostly do, eventually.

Once VC money is no longer subsidizing rideshare businesses, I'm not convinced that they will stay in existence in any form whatsoever.
This and the Uber 'proposal' coming on the same day! Does the 2019 corporate playbook say cover your ass because regulations are coming or something like that?
Do you have a source to back that claim? I can't find anything that states "full time" equals "living wage". Only referring to the minimum number of hours an employee has to work from receive benefits "part time" employees typically don't get, like paid time off or health insurance.

Additionally the Fair Labor Standards Act (for US anyway) does not give any formal definition of "full time" work, and is up to the employer. Only that covered nonexempt workers working more than 40 hours are entitled to overtime.

It's fine to disagree, but at least provide some sort of substance to your argument...
I am so curious as to what a fully blind person would find most enjoyable about legos.

Does the texture or shape hold special meaning?

I imagine hoding a model car in your hands is like "zooming out" for a blind person, enabling a contextual perspective that they cant get when interacting with the real world thing.

I imagine that scaling up to a whole new understanding of the world. Imagine the first lego set of the space shuttle a blind space enthusiast builds, and the immense set of knowledge that they cant otherwise get.

What a great idea to make this easier for them!
Oh they exist, but they're not heralded by the "keepers of culture" because those institutions and people are all subservient to the powers that be.
I run my node.js apps with PM2 and it supports logging out of the box. It probably won't scale very well, but for a single server app to run side projects it's perfect.
Easy for me to WFH as I have no distractions. I work at one of those large companies that implemented the "open office" design a few years ago and its very distracting, lots of noise and its hard to focus.
... but... might as well just have them sit there and hand you the next piece. Hrmmm, oh well it's a start.
Protecting Elections from Social Media Manipulation
Would it be possible to fork Brave and change it to use US Tether, Libra or some other stable coin?

Even better: fork it, create your own cryptocurrency like BAT, make ICO and become a millionaire!

There is no reason everybody to use BAT.
1. potato chips aren't addictive.

Doesn't this just extend the ability to purchase $700 motherboards to independent repair shops? Even if just replacing a cap would do?

Will Apple exclude stores that do this type of repair from this program?

What I'd really wanted to see, and not sure why it's still not a thing, is some standardized laptop that would allow upgrading it's core SoC. Latest Pis are quite capable for basic tasks and will only get more powerful.
POWER belongs to a niche. It's in the very profitable scale-up segment, above the x86 space, where x86s don't reach without some custom chipsets. The high end "reasonable" x86 boxes compete with the low end POWER machines and, from then on, almost nothing competes with them (it's a narrowing niche, I must add, and Oracle doesn't seem very interested in it). If IBM wants POWER to expand, it must do so down towards Intel and AMD.

IIRC, the time Sierra and Summit got designed, POWER offered interconnects faster than anything available on x86, which was important to keep the GPUs in those systems busy. Different HPC systems have different needs and with the latest Xeon Scalable and AMD Rome that advantage may have evaporated a bit - and I'm not surprised IBM didn't win or even propose. Let's see what OpenCAPI and OMI bring to the table and if, with the good experiences with the Talos desktops as proof that the software ecosystem is there some foundry gets interested in something that could compete with lower end Xeon in the embedded space.
You might be talking about long beards taking some effort to maintain but keeping some 5-15 mm stubble is pretty convenient and fast with an electric trimmer and changeable blades.
This was how Paula Broadwell was identified as part of her affair with Gen. Petraeus.

Essentially, they cross referenced list of hotel guests at three different hotels on three different dates and she was the only one at all three.

I suspect it's all just PR trying to get ahead of the administration diddling with thoughts of breaking up all the tech cartels.

Yeah it's a shame they have significantly slowed down updates to it. To me it sort of felt half done since you could sort of have tabs if you opened links. But it's a solid browser hope to see it continue.

Unhealthy != addictive.
Tobacco and alcohol are addictive, but none of your other examples are. I'd love to have a separate convo about regulating alcohol in a different way than we currently do - more in some ways, less in others.
It's just a hobby, like being "into" craft beer, whiskey, or PC gaming. Those aren't healthy in excess either, and it is annoying when someone only wants to talk about their one interest, but overall it isn't really hurting anyone else. It's a bit of a red herring to bring that up when Juul is by far the lowest-effort vaping method - you wouldn't have to know how to build a coil or mix VG/PG to use one.
I mean, he makes a living out of repairing Apple products even though he's not certified. He might have an innate bias against them for whatever reason, but as someone who is interested in tech but not an Apple user the stuff he says about Apple makes sense to me and doesn't seem biased in order to make them look bad.
> Assuming you've installed "Perl 6" (well, Rakudo)

That's the problem.
I think the argument is that one set of roles is highly skilled and requires a lot of education & investment in money & time to get to a $40-50k "apprenticeship" -- the other set of roles is not.

Getting paid equally for both of those positions, regardless of future expectations, indicates that something might be off.
FYI, only requests made with the XHR/Fetch APIs in Electron apps show up in the console. Insomnia (I am the maintainer) uses libcurl to send requests, which do not appear in the console. The NodeJS http/https APIs also do not.
Isn't this a blatant constitutional violation? Maybe while they are at it they can search through everyone's house as they "might be there".

Granted the fusion center already have access to this information - alot of times they have to make it official to be admissible in court. So there might be something foul in play here(besides the blatant 4th amendment violation).
Minor nit, but as a blind person who does various types of crafting (woodworking, most recently) I do care how things look. If I was building a lego set for fun only, I may not, care, but I wouldn't say it is "obvious" that I wouldn't.

Anyhow, only noted because I encounter that sentiment often enough to call it out. "You're blind, so obviously you don't care if you get the garrish hot purple cell phone, if you've got the laptop with the cracked screen, ..." :P
Hey! It looks awesome!

I'm a die-hard YNAB person and evangelist. The being said, I have bank accounts in two currencies and it's REALLY tough to balance that. Would you say there's a fit between the YNAB philosophy and the flow you created?
I don't follow, is this a "perfect is the enemy of the good" situation where they think the minimum wage should be higher and are opposing a half-step toward that?

For political reasons that can make sense, it's hard to push for a minimum wage bump right after a different one, but I am unaware of other cab companies advocating for a higher minimum wage prior to this.
This from the same company that hasnt turned a profit..
