I don't think there's any evidence of Greenwald publishing leaks provided by russian officials. Unless you go with the "Snowden is a russian asset" line which I find lacks credibility. Especially given how often it's been used. Lately Hilary is accusing Deomcrat candidates of it, which is, well, exactly in keeping with her character. An observation that is less controversial now than it used to be.

Never heard of towerload before, but wow, that article is comically terrible. Don't believe me? Here's a tweet from nobody making the same claim without evidence.

The arc digitial article (deliberately?) conflates all those idiots running around yelling "The President is a Russian spy!" and saying that is idiotic with not wanting Mueller's report at all as if those idiots were necessary for Mueller to perform his investigation and write a report.

So yeah, making the claim against Greewald. I'm going with "Not Fair" if that's the best evidence there is.

I've seen no credible evidence that Assange worked with russia fwiw (but the NYT article making the accusation had the silliest diagram I've ever seen in lieu of evidence - so silly it looked deliberately so - as a covert protest perhaps..? ymmv incompetence is the usual go to). If I saw some evidence I might well change my mind on that but I'm just not willing to see russians pulling strings without evidence. I believed WMD claims and I hope I learned /something/ from that error.

Quoting the actual content of Mueller's report. Yeah, I'm ok with that when reporting on it myself. Pointing out that Trump can be a horrible person and awful president without being a russian spy and that constant accusations of it are silly, counterproductive, a massive distraction from the duty of the fourth estate and just need to stop now so we can analyse reality is from the competent journalist playbook rather than a russian conspiracy IMHO.

The claim against Woodward has more legs because he gets top secret leaks and there's no investigation, there's no prosecution, there's no outrage and the stories he writes based on the leaks are anything but embarassing to the government. So I guess all that is at least consistent with what Greenwald is saying. I mean an article that embarasses the government based on leaks with woodward as author - that would be inconsistent and you'd have to address that to keep making the case at least. (well it's 1 this way and 5 the other or something - but I haven't seen the 1).

If I wanted to make a criticism of Glenn in the original context it is that he will use whatever you give him for maximum political impact in support of his political views (but will do so with integrity, eg Snowden is a republican and went to Glenn because of his integrity, also Barton Gelmann and deliberately avoided the NYT for burying stories which should have sent alarm bells ringing loud there, I wonder if it did). Is that political impact according to Glenn what you want? But I guess if what you want released embarasses the government, Woodward hasn't got much form since Watergate..?
What headline was that? Obviously we're not removing Hong Kong from Blizzard titles because of some sinister agenda. If we were, we suck at it: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

I hope HN readers have gotten smart enough to notice how when commenters make grandiose claims like this about manipulation, they never provide links. That's because the facts never support the grandiose claim.

Curious to see what the real reason might have been, I skimmed through the last 30 or so titles with Blizzard in them and didn't find one we'd edited in this way, or even at all. Perhaps I missed it. But whatever we did with any such title, it would have been because of the site guideline: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."
Yeah, Linus is up among the greats. Linux and Git are huge.

Pike, Thompson and Ritchie are in the same league. Not many others, maybe none.

A level below that, people like Gavin King. He invented Hibernate and Seam, not too shabby. (But not like Linux.)

A level below that, the rest of us mortals. I know quite a few one-hit authors (they're good) and some maintenance wizard, but it's nothing like inventing multiple super-hits. Hats off to Linus.
A utopia was originally the exploration of what life would be like if a philosophy was taken to the extreme. In that sense, one man's utopia is another man's personal hell.

For example in the utopic vision of anarchy, there are no authorities and everyone must find their own path in the world. The flip side of having no decisions made for you is that you must make all of your own decisions. Or in democracy, since anyone and everyone has the exact same power over decisions, all the really important decisions are made in the most mediocre way possible. In Capitalism, we have the specter of individuals being ground into raw resources and then spit out when they reach their useful lifespan.

So if their intent is to build a utopia of their own making, that's definitionally evil because it admits no dissenting opinion in the matter of how we live our lives.
Awesome to see more competitors for elasticsearch. Added to the list: https://gist.github.com/manigandham/58320ddb24fed654b57b4ba2...
The Americans did the heavy lifting, as usual.
Behind a paywall. Unfortunately I don't pay people/organisations to tell me what their opinion is. They can very well keep it to themselves.
They say it's AI but it seems like just a hash map to me.
If it was easy, advertisers would be doing it already.
Google is highly motivated to keep your data fire-walled from advertisers.
Depends on where you buy it. If the place didn't have a problem with criminals using burner phones, you would not have ID requirement otherwise they will make a copy of your ID before activating your pre-paid phone.

Different places have different problems enabled through different technologies or goods, therefore different regulations. The place is huge and devided to about 200 parcels all with different approach of handling issues, check it out here: https://www.google.com/maps
And if I were your parent, I'd seriously look into moving you to a less abusive school.
How's that different from just writing `async`, without `eval`?

i.e. if the string's static `eval` isn't doing anything?
You've misinterpreted you finding git to be difficult as everyone finding it difficult, leading to an argument based on git being difficult that will never be compelling to those who didn't find learning git to be difficult. I'm one of them - I don't have any CS training - and so are the interns and new starters who use it without complaint in my workplace.

If you are forced into using it to everything but still haven't taken the steps necessary for understanding it, why is that my problem?
> Compounded with psuedonyms, it's hard for any AI to determine who's chatting who

Just so you know, they don’t use the AI to determine who is who, just the context of the text. They know exactly who is who despite pseudonyms because of device IDs and tracking cookies and all the rest. The “who is who” is the easy part.
In this context, I'd be encouraging my children to do this (and certainly take the blame for them); false positives ftw! It'd be a great, teachable moment where I can discuss many sociological, technological, and ethical issues at once. On top of that I can teach them a thing or two about opsec.

The school is really at a loss here for retribution: in many instance the students are required to use the school's equipment for completing assignments and projects. So the worst they can really do is "restrict" usage -- but that isn't really any different than what they already do. So it's a bit of a headache for me and the kid(s)? A small price to pay for demonstrating the hilarious shortcomings of implementing a technological solution to a purely human problem -- one that requires specially trained humans to fix.

(Of course I'd make sure the kid(s) give me their blessing before messing with the school)

On another note: I have extensive experience working for school districts. This is absolutely a CYA attempt with no foresight into what the outcome of this terrible experiment will be. These solutions tend to be hacked together, easy to circumvent, and poorly implemented. While I have no direct experience with the product mentioned, I do have experience with school-focused solutions. We had to pay the extra money for purely commercial solutions to get anything that was worth the money.
I don't feel it is right to describe it as "turns a website into an API", rather "gives scraped data through an API".

"Turn website into an API", for me, evokes the image that I can automate (say) placing an order in Amazon as an API, or paying my bills automatically. It includes scraping, of course, but requires a lot more (mechanize/twill/selenium/phantom/etc power).

There was a company called Orsus that did exactly that. Last I heard about them it was the year 2000.
Instead of rescuing the oppressed people, European troops had tea with the genocidaires and then evacuated, leaving people to be slaughtered.

And the moment the US dragged NATO into intervening? What did Europeans do? Immediate protests denouncing US fascism, US militarism, books not bombs, you name it.
The presence and centralization of the data makes it a very juicy target for all kinds of evil people.
Intentional or not, that's precisely what will happen.
I use spaced repetition for learning Japanese vocabulary, but the idea should work for remembering new words/definitions for anything. A few friends studying med use Anki for definitions and revising images (what infection is typical of this image?)
>Aren't they in a way the Mozarts of their time?

Absolutely not. Avro Part and György Ligeti are the Mozarts of their time. And they were very, very far from being Mozart.

I expect and demand that drugs which people tout as some amazing breakthrough in human consciousness demonstrate something beyond "I thought it was cool." If something you can buy for $4 in pill form really creates higher states of consciousness, and the words "higher states of consciousness" actually means something, you'd expect there to be 1000 Mozarts by now, rather than ... dipshits saying Iron Butterfly's drum solo is, like, totally cool man.
No, Android has no built-in support.

And if you break your camera, you can't use QR-codes. Happened to me with Whatsapp Web.

Like I said, QR-codes are awful at usability and have extreme pitfalls. Shortlinks are quick, fast and concise and they take much less space.

Also, shortlinks does not mean "cryptic urls". For example slush.org/L01 is much, much better and faster than some QR-code, it's wayyyy more accessible and also more shareable. You can also tell about it to people with just words that they can easily remember.
One cannot begin to count the number of murdering sprees ("invasions," "sacks," "pillages") in the history of civilization that very much prompted early societies to legislate against murder.
Imagine if someone discovers a flaw in the qrcode library and manage to execute an arbitrary command once read? It's already too late, the device already read the code.

It's the same kind of issue that's possible with any kind of viewer (Adobe Reader, Flash Player, etc)

Once the file or data string is read, it's already game over, and both the QR code and PDF, SWF, etc aren't human-readable.
It's pretty debatable to call the common honey bee 'invasive' but I do still see them around. They might actually belong to someone. I don't know how far from home a bee can get, but several farms outside of town produce local honey. Feral honey bees are still kicking around though and seem to have adapted. There are even people tracking them to try and study how they've managed without treatments. I haven't seen a colony to report though, just one or two flying around from time to time.

> I'm more and more certain much of this is the result of post-modernism. God is dead. We can no longer expect the fear of hell or desire for heaven to keep us in line, so the state must become the omniscient god watching over us.

I wish more people would see our police state through that lens, because hell and heaven never kept people in line and the state will do no better. It's all just metric-driven management... in the long-run, nothing really keeps the masses in line.
I just tried, and yes, it is important to match the correct host with the ip address. The server uses the Host HTTP header to find the right virtual host and send the right SSL certificate. A wrong match seems to break the site.

But your assumption is right, I believe all these hosts are otherwise identical mirrors of Sci-Hub.

And if your phone is broken? Or you want to share the resulting location? Do you share the QR-code? How about if your phone is charging somewhere else? Please.

QR codes are awful and have huge issues and pitfalls.
Which countries achieved economic growth? And why does it matter?
Wow. I am getting down voted for saying this?
Neither do German (What you Americans call Jewish) or Russian/Ukrainian names sound English yet they are by far the biggest majority of your country way ahead of the Anglos. More likely than not a European American has its roots somewhere in Central or Eastern Europe.
In fairness, it's not a crazy question - mushrooms contain a lot of undigestable and fermentable carbs (raffinose, chitin) that can affect ...passage...in some people, and cause flatulence in others. Westerners outside of central Europe tend not to eat meat-replacement-sized portions of mushrooms and are probably more familiar with the digestive dynamics of meat.
You could simply replace "Facebook" with "the Internet", or just "electronic communication networks". If our reaction to every new technological advance is either 1) "let's wait until society is ready for it", or 2) "this should be strictly controlled by the government", we'd still be banging rocks together to make fire.

Zuckerberg is certainly ill-equipped for this. So is every other person on the planet, but at least Zuckerberg has enormous financial and public relations incentives to figure it out. I do not envy his job.
Furthermore, if you're forced to use it, it's because you need it to interact with others' versions of the repo, in which case branching matters.
Of course they don't have data. None of this creeping Orwellian shit is ever justified with real, meaningful data because that's not how the people who support it think, nor do the people selling it care.
Many European countries have banned the use of neonicotinoids, but in the U.S. the EPA has ignored the evidence and has turned a blind eye to the science. As a result the environmental damages in the United States continue to grow each year.

Here's an interesting study:

HN is not the place where I expect such clickbait articles.

The domestic workers market in many gulf countries resembles slavery in some sense and has been in existence for a long time. Instagram might be one of the tools that is being used by these people just like I am pretty sure they use airlines, roads, telephones and postal services.
Should I be worried about the branding? Or the fact this behemoth of a company is buying it's way into every corner of my life. Close your eyes and imagine a few drones trying to see everything you do in your apartment. That's what it is. This ain't the internet I ordered :-(
Referring to relativity and linking to Einstein's personal web page are surely two different things, no?
One thing you have to be careful in EEG studies that transmit single bits is that EEG is very suspectible to muscle artifacts.

From:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK390358/

“

Physiological artifacts may include cardiac, pulse, respiratory, sweat, glossokinetic, eye movement (blink, lateral rectus spikes from lateral eye movement), and muscle and movement artifacts.

“

You may not actually reading the brain of the sender, but rather that the sender moves their eyes or their jaws or gets excited and increases their heart rate when transmitting the information.
Bring back Vine, Twitter!

Why was it shuttered? It seemed like such a short-sighted move. Vine had such cachet and was fun to use & create on it. RIP
One thing we recently started looking at is outbound traffic, i.e. links that people click within our website/app. We're going to publish some results (and joint forces) soon, but I wanted to share here because I feel outbound links are something usually ignored. Yet they can contribute to a significant part of the total Internet traffic.

So, upgrading outbound links from http to https (where possible) can be another way to contribute to achieving 100% of the web traffic encrypted.
It's naive and misinformed to think that only European honey bees suffer from it.
Many European countries have banned the Neonics, but in the US there's a significant resistance to it.
In a corporatist system of government, corporate censorship is state censorship. When there's no meaningful space between corporate power and government power, it doesn't make much difference whether the guy silencing your dissent is Mark Zuckerberg or William Barr. America most definitely has such a system.

And when independent candidates run for office and can't get their message out for being shadow banned, and the corporatist candidates are always the number one trending subject, you'll be there to finger wag for not bothering to set up their own world-class content distribution system first.
> Otherwise, why is no other app experiencing this issue if it was done "according to the docs".

Well, like you say, it's not common to use shortcut keys without modifiers right? So it doesn't seem that surprising to me that nobody noticed the regression.
I like this! Actually, I share things to the "Favorites" chat in Telegram (not sure what it's called in English) to get pictures around and it's convenient, sounds like you've got a similar setup.
Funny story.. back in 2000 a new boss starts at UK govt agency with student focus. This is around University entrance time. He wants to stamp some authority and show he knows better than the last boss. To add some context he was a Londoner in Scotland who obviously knew better than the great unwashed north of the border.
Pretty much the first thing he does is look at the flagged words list on incoming emails.
Why he felt this level of micromanaging would endear him to his Scottish team is lost to time.
Anyway, he snorted and with a smirk berated the admin team for leaving out "cunt" and told them to add it in. The admin team, said nothing and did what they were told and waited....
Over the weekend over 10000 emails were flagged and had to be manually read by the small admin team, who were used to a small amount every week.
Our London friend handed his notice in within 6 months :)
I totally understand that IRC has issues, but there's really nothing that beats just being able to hit '/j #channel' on freenode and it's probably there and my client works how I expect it to.

The fragmentation pretty much excludes me from switching away. It's completely impractical to maintain notifications / check new messages / reasonably understand the interface of 5+ different clients (on multiple machines too!), so the theoretical benefit of using a new platform doesn't exist.

There's what - Gitter, Slack, Discord, Mattermost, Matrix? I'm sure there are more.

How do people actually manage this? Do people really have 5 of these clients open, or do they just arbitrarily pick one? Slack, when I've used it, has been a 'per organization' thing, can you have multiple orgs open at once or do you need a tab for each of those?

I just find the whole thing bonkers. IRC wasn't an arbitrary choice ten years ago, it was a defacto standard.
> as in, Google didn't buy you just for the team

Or for the data ... even better profiles of people, including people who tried avoiding giving Google that data. Probably time for such users to send GDPR notices (If EU citizens)
Anything that makes SSH authentication secure and easy to use is a win for me and many others!

Just wondering, is there an NFC-based U2F key out there? Would really like being able to use that with my phone as well if an app can support it.
I saw this come up in a playlist of clips about programming. I was so confused, especially because I had thought I was watching a user curated list, until I saw that.
The fundamental problem is that as a group we write too much code, building dozens of approximately equivalent stacks and ecosystems instead of compromising on few things of much higher quality that require a little customization
This vague generalization of men is exactly the issue. "Why haven't you gotten a job yet, you should be a risk-taker". Men aren't a monolith, and this exact thinking boxes people in.
Eleos Technologies | Remote (US only) | Full time

Eleos Technologies is a growing 8-year-old company building communication software for truck drivers and field workers.

We’re helping a diverse mix of customers—from mom and pop operations to household names—improve how they communicate with their employees by tackling information overload, reducing phone calls, and eliminating obsolete technologies.

We're looking to grow our mobile team, which maintains our native iOS and Android apps. These apps are used by thousands of big-rig and small truck drivers, day and night, every day. We've got two mobile engineers who have experience with both platforms, and we're looking to keep that flexibility and mindset as we grow.

The apps do some unique things, including assisting drivers to plan their trips, find stopovers, manage their electronic duty log, and more—there's a lot more than just CRUD and chat features to go around.

As a remote team, we're super lucky to have some great folks who use the ability to work from home to spend more time with their kids, help volunteer at a school, or otherwise be more fulfilled than they would be working from an office. You could join us!

If that sounds fun and rewarding to you, the full description and info about applying are over here: https://jobs.lever.co/eleostech/e09301bb-0e4e-4ccd-8d5f-e185...
