Last one sounds the most promising, if clients (rather than base stations) can be uniquely identified, and often enough to be practical. I know that base stations send a beacon out x times per second, but phones probably don't.
How to program easily to build an Forex Indicators

I think pretty much anyone who writes TS is well aware of the dangers of any. However, I think it is a necessary convenience since TS does not use nominative typing.
If passed this would immediately give all California schools a big recruiting advantage. Other states would need to follow suit. It would also set an interesting precedent if California unanimously resolved this issue that's been discussed for years. Like emissions regulations before and the GDPR like law coming in 2020... one could argue California is setting much the legislative agenda for the country.

Find Latest Jobs from Twitter

You say it searches the latest jobs advertised on Twitter, but you also advertise job postings for $149. Why wouldn't someone just post their job on Twitter if your service is going to pick it up anyway?

Yes according to Einstein we on a smooth fabric of spacetime that curves in the presence of these 3D objects...but Quantum Mechanics isn't such a smooth universe as you scale downward.
This is not a quick fake site. Too much went into it. Also, their social media profiles go back to Oct. 2017. If it's a fake company (and that seems likely), they are playing the long con.

Their "address," 30 Wall Street, is for a virtual office business center, Capstone Executive Offices. https://liquidspace.com/US/NY/new-york/your-wall-street-offi...

In any case, this announcement seems to be a vaporware pump-and-dump scheme for a bitcoin accelerator: https://www.facebook.com/TreadwellStanton

The timing of their first Facebook post is within 6 months of when they supposedly broke SHA256, so that definitely says long con.
Not to mention that, if we're not the world police, then someone else will be, so we may as well be, since we're the best suited for the job.
Does any company use quantum-resistant encryption in practice?
I wonder when companies will just stop starting up in CA. It seems like they could just operate in another state and everything would be fine. You'd find plenty of programmers in a place like the NC research triangle.
Point stands. "Emergencies are a terrible time for an upsell" is not something I thought would be controversial, but building systems in which one has to have permission to communicate in an emergency is a recipe for people dying.
To my mind, these questions come from a part of the Internet's architecture - text isn't generally signed or strongly attributed, and if it were, we don't really have a solid global identity infrastructure - hence a lot of worrying and hand wringing.

You're way overthinking this. Any website with an SSL cert is a "channel" and if it doesn't publish AI generated text, then people can go there to get pure human generated nonsense instead of machine generated nonsense. No new infrastructures are required: in fact we already have many such websites, like newspapers or blogs.

Also, really, listen to yourself. "Infoterrorist"? What is an infoterrorist? You're making up meaningless new words on the fly to try and create a general sense of unease in your reader. Indeed you're trying to make people fear speech, which could itself be described as alt-left propaganda. Does it matter? No not really. You're just a guy posting on the internet, as am I. Spambots have existed since the start of the internet. The content is what matters, not where it came from.
It needs to be far easier and far more common to fire judges for bad behaviors.
I don't understand why the term ride-sharing is even used when talking about Uber and Lyft. Has anyone ever gone with a driver who wasn't just driving an unlicensed cab? Or is it referring to multiple riders sharing one car?
Ok, slightly offtopic and rant, but:

My main problem with Bitcoin, etc. is: it is just too complicated.
I mean, I did study CS and do have some knowledge about math and cryptography and I followed Bitcoin from the beginning with curiosity - and I still only have a vague understanding of it all. Now sure, I could invest some days and really study it and things would probably look different. But if it is hard for me, how hard is it for the common person?!

I believe the base of a new money-system should be simple, for (allmost) everyone to understand. Because yes, the current mainstream fiat money banking system ... is not simple at all, either.
But if it is so complicated, only some people can understand it, than there is way too much room for fraud ...
A Paranoid Tech Bro, a Homemade Nuclear Bunker, and a Shocking Death
As an exhibit, I have collected a large-ish library of the exact topics you mention, and I'd say it is becoming hard to manage. Nothing beats books for long term storage of information though, so I still indulge couple of titles per year, but hold the books I buy to increasingly higher standards.
Wet noodles?
There are various tiers of leaders, each of which gets their own subset of authority. Perhaps the President and Congress gets their own bunkers, but I sincerely doubt mayor X in Y town in Ohio is getting flown out to a mountainside retreat.

Coincidentally with the increase in military equipment being sold to local police departments these days, said mayors will have some firepower to work with if they ever do decide to convince their townspeople to go rogue and play for keeps.

> Real justification: Extraterritoriality is a thing you get to do when you're an empire.

This is exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction, which is not the same thing as (though also not unrelated to) extraterritoriality.

And everyone gets to do it, it has nothing to do with being an empire (actual extraterritoriality beyond what is normal for, e.g., diplomats might, but this isn't that.)

The article is full of conventional thinking that extrapolates directly from current trends.

Most likely the critical IT need in the Next World War will be bioinformatics to identify pathogens being used in biowarfare and to design, produce and distribute vaccines, drugs, and other countermeasures. The second IT need will be to enable society to function without the movement of or physical contact between people in order to limit contagion.

The next great war will likely be a long drawn out low intensity conflict (think proxy war with a lot of direct cyber war on the side) that manages to stay under the threshold for opening a can of nuclear whoop-ass. Big powers aren't gonna get in an over the table shooting war if they can avoid it for fear of the other opening that can. I dunno if that kind of situation meets your definition of "great" though.

Edit: The comment I'm replying to changed substantially since I replied.
Right, if they can't pay back funding, they haven't made any profit yet.
I don't get why Trump gets slammed by the media for talking to Kim Yong and walking back on Iran, or even trying to set up meetings with Taliban this month. Just because he's negociating doesn't mean negociating in itself is wrong, so I find that peculiar.
> I just do a full code search for 'def method_name` and it usually brings up the function I need.

Not in Rails. Too much metaprogramming-generated never-defined stuff going on. Often makes diving into inherited Rails codebases pretty unpleasant. Especially if they don't have a solid test suite, which IME most in the wild do not (not Rails' fault, that's true of most code ecosystems).

Well, that is certainly a valid position to take, and I am not unsympathetic.

But my parent comment was responding to the question of whether this specific behaviour is illegal. Your take touches on whether the entire industry—with or without a few leasebacks and trademark deals—is morally repugnant.
Same here. But wasn't there a statement (on Uber?) on a previous thread her jokingly talking about cash flow after funding?

That being said I know more than one manufacturing company from experience that gave shit about cash flow. Result, so, have been predictable.
As an European I am happy over this. It feels like companies like Microsoft, Google, Facebook etc only really care about what the US Government has to say and it's good that the EU show these companies clearly that they have to play nice if they are going to exist in the European market.

Ask HN: What career guidance / training do you expect as a senior?
Curious to learn what learning opportunities or training you expect if you're already very senior in your role ?

Or do you just focus on finding mentors or participating in the right projects ?
Sounds like an interesting plan.
Wow, those pictures are poignant. Looking at their faces, I can almost feel the pit in my stomach I felt for much of that day.
There are 8 positions, top-left, top, top-right, right, bottom-right, and so on.

Each position can have an aug equipped so the left side could have 3.

If you mean like stacked, I suppose you could add extra dom elements inside and augment each layer as you wish to.

There isn't a way built in to put multiple different augs in a given position/slot.

If you have anything even as crude as an MS Paint mockup so I can better see what you mean, I'd be happy to take a look and consider it or let you know if it's possible as-is!
Face recognition, bad people and bad data
It’s possible but unlikely. The most likely reason is just bad code.

I’ve seen trading web ui that were as fast as native TT going back lots of years.

The most likely reason is that the ui designers do not understand the problem domain & therefore underemphasized refresh latency for something else.
I agree, but I had to find this out the hard way as I was a junior back then just rolling with it. I didn't outsource IT but had to live with it.
It's not an argument as much as it's just how it is for the past few decades. They are like 7th in the world in GDP or something.
Yes, the power will go out and in a matter of just a few days we will be overthrowing our leadership. Lol.
I thought this was supposed to be good for uber and lyft since it would choke out any smaller companies with less cash to burn in contrast to uber/lyft who have deep pockets.
That too - people think of the oil being in the "north", but it's not, if you look at the map, it's only a 3rd of the way north of the US/Canada border.
not enough appreciation for rising marginal costs of innovation. it's easy to see in biotech and pharmaceuticals (same number of innovations costing more and more). it will eventually happen in every other narrowly scoped field.

Probably equal parts map protection distorting things as you get nearer to the poles and the effect of the ocean moderating the climate in Alaska.
So you counter their conventional thinking that extrapolates from 2019 trends with conventional thinking extrapolating from 1989 trends. A bit unconventional but sure.
Now Uber and Lyft will force a ballot measure, as they promised and we will probably learn that Sacramento is out of step with the average voter in California.

It's quite a scary one, drone swarms that outmatch humans by a huge degree might cause the losing side to surrender before a human life is lost, but they could also massacre the losing sides, satellites and communications of all sides are also likely go, then of course there's still nuclear armageddon
Cool project - I can see this working for smaller companies that have lower budgets. Lots of people ask around on Twitter for devs so this could be good for smaller companies/devs looking for contractors etc
I remember CNN being down for part of the morning, then coming back up with a stripped-down version. This was before CDNs—those servers were sitting in a rack somewhere, probably a few (or few dozen) web servers and a reverse proxy serving requests for the entire world.

I also remember trying to load the WTC website, and it not responding. IIRC, it was hosted in the basement of one of the WTC towers.
Well, NSA used to have the best and brightest until Snowden. Now NSA can't get the best and brightest because they are conscientious objectors.

Firefox’s Test Pilot Program Returns
I think one huge reason for not allowing other browser engines is because to get performant javascript, a JIT javascript engine is necessary, which in turn requires access to mark memory pages executable after being writable, which is a code entitlement that Apple will never ever hand out to third party developers (because it allows bypassing app store review and is also a huge liability security-wise).

If third party apps had access to map dynamic memory as executable, we would see thousands of third party "appstores" or "emulator/piracy launchers" that could simply download random unvetted executables from the internet, perhaps hidden in inconspicuous decoy "flashlight apps".

If they allowed third party browser engines without JIT, everyone would install Chrome and then complain that iOS benchmarks incredibly bad compared to Android.
The lava is pouring into the deeper cold water and causing it to rise. At least that’s how I read it.

I'm a little surprised that the multipage demo doesn't have a working print stylesheet. Granted, most of these resumes won't be printed out but I think they're minimal enough where they would look great printed out. A few well placed page-breaks [1] would fix it right up.

Like "Spangular" — and then got Adam Sandler to endorse it.
I haven't read the bill, how does it effect other companies that have traditionally used sub contractors? Like for example, General Contractors? This bill is being touted as a poison pill to harm Uber and Lyft, but based on the articles I have read about it, it sounds more like a bomb with a much larger blast radius.
Would it be better to use the css border-image property? If you don't want to use images I guess you could embed svg in it. That should give you around 98% of all browser users according to caniuse.
From the bill:

> a person providing labor or services for remuneration shall be considered an employee rather than an independent contractor unless the hiring entity demonstrates that the person is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, the person performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business, and the person is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation or business.

Under these conditions, what position would qualify as a contractor?

The first clause

> free from control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work

seems awfully broad. If I contract someone to clean my house, I would hope I have some control and direction of the person in connection to them cleaning my house. Or am I reading this wrong.

The second clause

> the person performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business

means I can't contract out work that I normally do? So if I'm a cleaner, I can't contract out other cleaners if I'm swamped.

The third clause

> person is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation or business

I don't really know what that means

Can someone shed some light on the text?

That's a pretty foolish assumption. Look at the long view, innovation typically comes in fits and spurts, no predicting when the next will start or the current one will fade away.
Ironically this seems a good case of gelman amnesia. If you think he's wrong on climate (a MAJOR thing to be wrong about), why would you trust his opinion on subjects where you know less?

I didn't link the article, I just reply to the comment asking what was wrong. But he's very much wrong and that nature article doesn't support him. He said CO2 did not lead to a rise in temperature. That article says there was a lower than expected rise in temperature - it's still rose!

He said co2 has no significant impact on temperature which is definitely not what that paper is saying. They refer to co2 as anthropogenic forcing.

I always looked at negative cash flow as default dead, regardless of profitability. Long term survival is at risk when you run out of cash to pay invoices, profits or not. All that needs to happen is financing, either by banks or investors, to stop.
Nah, you are just paranoid. Nobody is taking anyone down because you don't matter anymore. Interesting stuff is happening on the Asian continent. Like the Roman Empire you are just falling, slowly, but steadily and nobody will give a shit. Just like France, UK, etc.
Its very telling of our inability to attribute positives to someone who holds an alternative political ideology. We need to be able to compliment one another somehow if we are ever to bridge the ever increasing gap between political parties.
It's unfortunate that now every piece of data about us is being used in some way other than what we would naturally expect. Though we also seem to expect free applications and websites...

As they do that, NC will become what CA is today.

It's pretty clear that NC has become a different state already compared to the one that used to send Jesse Helms to the Senate not too long ago, just as CA changed from the home state of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan to what it is today.

>should be targeted instead of other companies that are more conservatively aligned.

They shouldn't be targeted to the exclusion of others based on political alignment, but neither should the not-googles be targeted to the exclusion of google based on google's politics.

> Would I be a bad person for saying I'm sad about this because I want to work at Google and I don't like seeing their future threatened?

You're not a bad person for rooting for a company or wanting to work there. I'd just say you're incredibly naive for having a such an attachment to brand. And you're setting yourself to have some of your most productive years chewed up by a company (not even necessarily google) that can take advantage of your dedication with no additional compensation beyond trowing some creature comforts at you.
Corporations are slowly integrating this technology and sell these off as features on newer generation phones like face recognition or finger print unlocking without the average Joe not knowing the potential threat it might pose.
I would agree. The doctors I know do very well and the surgeons or radiologists usually are multimillionaires. Maybe their schooling is tough but the payoff is huge and it’s a stable career.
