I'm very sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing.
> While the root cause of this issue is still outside of Shopify, we have implemented a solution which has successfully restored connectivity for the majority of stores from the affected ISPs.

Looks like the issue was the ISPs, not Shopify. I wonder if other sites were also affected.
Can you go into actual development issue? Was it the QT or were you trying to run a Linux binary.
The way I look at it, Bitcoin is a historical experiment happening during our lifetimes and mid-May (the time of halving) will be a very interesting milestone in that experiment.

It could go up or down, but either way, it will be interesting to watch.
Wow neat. I've been using yubico-pam module for a while now, to enforce hardware auth for SSH _without clientside config_ (yubikeys can send a OTP by acting as a keyboard).

U2F support would achieve this without the extra server PAM config unique to yubico and remove reliance on a separate auth server - not to mention remove reliance on these particular type of keys that support their OTP which are pricey.
That's a great list, and thank you for including works in Spanish. Do you have more recommendations? I've been neglecting my Spanish reading and losing it little by little.

there is, he admits it and wants to fix. He is not going to be happier if we tell him that he should just be happy with what he have. He wants to have a healthy/happy romantic relationship with someone and he deserves it, and it is not a problem to have to work to fix it.

I had the same problem in the past and as a hacker I made a plan to fix it. I can tell you that it worked really well and I barely recognize myself from 5 years ago. But this change wasn't easy and was related to lots of areas in my life: friends, family, fitness, nutrition, work, interests in life. More than wanting to date someone, I invested in becoming someone people want to date.

If they did everything they needed to, how are they negligent? I don't understand. The negligence so far has specifically been because poor maintenance triggered fires.

The power shut-offs are in response to the past fires, which were caused by poorly maintained lines.
The problem is consistently fixed by an edit to grub.conf to invoke ntldr explicitly. It's a fairly well documented issue: https://askubuntu.com/questions/725290/grub-windows-10-doesn...

Of course it's still possible that on my particular configuration it's actually Windows doing something dumb that makes grub.conf changes necessary. However, it's (1) well documented for years, (2) an issue that the Linux (distro) installer creates, and (3) an issue that still gets recreated on every update that mysteriously reverts my grub.conf changes, so Windows gets the benefit of the doubt and Linux doesn't.

That's been my experience in general with desktop Linux: I have never experienced a Linux distro where I didn't have to get into the weeds to fix up a clean install, even when Linux is the only OS on the system.
I haven't looked at this particular implementation, but I think we really need something like this. As for the "no risk of your voice being muffled" part... You can't guarantee such a thing in any country, and it's not exactly a desirable attribute for such a commenting system either (in my opinion!).

Note: I've often thought about creating a system like this, and I recall having seen similar things in the past. In my opinion, to make such a system useful for a large number of people:

- You need moderation (upvote/downvote _might_ be enough)
- Who wants to use a system that is full of troll comments?
- Who wants to use a system that is full of comments advocating genocide?
- Who wants to use a system that is full of spam and scammers?
- It would be really cool if you could attach comments to a specific part of the page
- You probably need a bunch of useful comments in easy-to-see places to make people want to use this system
- In order to make people want to use this, it would obviously be best to have this integrated in browsers right from the start, but that's an obviously impossible goal at first (though you could maybe get deals with some of the really small browsers)
- An API that allows websites to display the comments attached to the current page (and add new comments) would be very useful
- If this system takes off, it has to be pretty scalable
One of my blind friends told me there's some evidence that since braille is a form of literacy, people who were blind from birth and never learned braille also never developed some critical brain functions, so they're seriously limited in what kinds of jobs they can do. So if that's true, then even if you don't use braille much, learning it still helped you.

As for me, I'm partially sighted, so I learned to read print; I just need it larger and/or need to get up close to read it. So I can't contribute any first-hand knowledge or opinions on this topic.
Okay? That's the same statement to me. It's just a comparison.

The most Hackernews comment I've ever read is someone getting defensive about the distinction.

I read this long essay, "Germany Must Lead or Leave", by Soros himself, seven years ago when it first came out:

My memory of such isn't perfect, and I won't reread all dozen-ish pages for the sake of an HN comment, but I remember it covering some of the issues of Eurozone integration, and seems very topical given this thread is about Soros.

Except that Backcountry.com is suing companies far outside their space, like coffee producers.

And Walmart should be able to sell “Walmart Backcountry Skis” because backcountry skis are a subtype of skis like alpine skis or cross country skis. Backcountry.com did not create the friggin product space or popularize the term “backcountry.” It’s a generic blanket term that refers to an entire range of activities.
thanks, I think we are in agreeance.
I more mean if any big corp is offering “unlimited,” it’s a good indication of some version of a ripoff / unfair terms of use.

Consumers should stop accepting that as the status quo.

My ISP (Sonic.net) offers "unlimited internet", and they deliver, they have no bandwidth or download caps at all.

It’s worse than you think. They recently shipped Xcode 11.2, which is required to build on iOS 13.2.

By default, ALL builds built with Xcode 11.2 that use (common basic feature) runtime crash on iOS < 13.2. Yep. Every very soon.

So if you happened to update your test device and ship with ios 13.2/11.2 Xcode ~40% of your users will crash on launch.

Oh and it also broke all 3rd party lib loading, dead code stripping strips ALL 3rd party lib code... so you will bad_access on launch if you use SPM and leave dead code stripping on (default)

So you need to reinstall a parallel Xcode 11.1 to ship today. But 11.1 can’t install to iOS 13.2, so god help you if you updated your only test device to 13.2.

Oh, and this persisted to live despite the initial bug report on oct 3rd. In 5 years this is the worst I’ve ever seen
the author mentioned, john mcphee, is my favorite nonfiction author, and i couldn't recommend him more highly. i was disappointed to see that the now surely out of print place de la concorde suisse was not easily available on the usual ebook resources, but he's an author worth paying for.

another excellent book of his that would likely line up well with hn-adjacent interests is the curve of binding energy, written in the early 90s about a physicist's concern with the risk of nuclear proliferation among nonstate actors:

I mean XCode has been a terrible experience for a lot of devs (C++ in particular) for years. I completely avoid it, when you need it for a build just invoke it from the command line. Some of the other stuff is tricky to set up outside the UI so you need it, but other than that, XCode is not worth the hassle imo.

Real shame too. I've talked about this with some of their tools team I went to school with. I don't know what's in the water in Cupertino but I don't think Apple devs are getting the same experience out of XCode as their actual users.
Bugs in the software come from bugs in the process. They are showing their process in their inaction.

If their stuff was generally sound except for this, they would have shut down margin trading until the bug is fixed.
Embarrassing and really bad, also the state could have a unit test, Nevada has one for all of its gambling games so there is precedent of a state granting a license based on that arbitrary higher threshold
Chris Sacca (legendary VC) exploited a similar bug in his early days.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Sacca#Stocks_and_Fenwick...

> Sacca used his student loans to start a company during law school, and when the venture proved unsuccessful he used the remaining funds to start trading on the stock market. By leveraging trades for significant amounts (discovering a flaw in the software of online trading brokers in 1998)[18] he managed to turn $10–20 thousand dollars into $12 million by 2000.[19] Eventually, when the market crashed, Sacca found himself in debt with a four million dollar negative balance.[18] He negotiated to have it reduced to $2.125 million[17] and had repaid it by February 2005.[18]
The key point here should be that the safety driver was on their phone and not looking at the road
Amazing. They observe fractional frequency changes of around 4.1E-17. Thanks for sharing the links!
It certainly can (and did) make most food locally, it's just that it has to be different food - you eat what you can make from locally produced ingredient and don't eat what you can't. The type of food we eat has changed a lot, and the expectation to have "ethnic" food with products grown on another continent, or to have the same vegetables available year-round instead of them being seasonal - that's a relatively recent thing.
Hmmm... I found this and it just needs an email address:

It is stupid though. It says:

I first came across the notion of orthogonality for programming languages in Algol 68.

Perhaps it's easiest to give examples of what it's not. At first in C you could only assign scalars; to assign a struct or union you had to call memcpy() or something like it. Eventually you could assign aggregates, but you still can't assign arrays unless you hide them in structs. It took a while before you could pass or return an aggregate.

Exceptions of that sort are non-orthogonalities.
Support for TRIM in ZFS, UFS (kernel), or fsck (userspace) has been in place for years, but there was no easy way to tell “TRIM all this whole device now”.
Well you are talking about EU budget. If you look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_of_the_European_Union#E... its clear that both Greece and Portugal receive higher contributions then Czech republic. Also I am not sure what structural disadvantages you are looking at. Look at Slovakia that is in Eurozone and benefited massively.
Black market has immense operation expenses. It won't be able to undercut a legal market, even very heavily taxed, but still free.

It's more profitable to just start a legal operation instead.

OTOH countries where a particular drug is illegal will feel a significant pressure if in a large neighboring country the same substance is legal. This.hopefully would provide both an example and an incentive to at least decriminalize the substance, too.

TLDR; Clickbait headline. This is a fairly common practice. T-Mobile has filed and enforces a color mark, a type of trademark, as do many other corporations, for a specific shade of pink known as RAL 4010.
There is no advantage. Their only edge was $0 commissions. They're definitely going out of business. Robinhood is going to be a legendary example of how first-mover advantage doesn't work.
That is a frustrating truth.

At least you maintained separate email addresses so compromises are sort of firewalled.
> “Although we’ve seen no evidence of abuse, we will ask them to delete any member data they may have retained and we will conduct audits to confirm that it has been deleted,” the company said in the blog post.

I wonder how these "audits" are done? Force the individuals into a legal agreement through threat of a larger action?
Finally someone said it. Thank you.

Back testing however is possible. You could collect all recorded data from all driverless orgs, and require any new deploy be run over it. Plus a simulation.

For example, creating a standards body that collected this data and certified and release could be done by industry.

There’s a small shrine where the accident happened. I pass it daily on my commute. It should be much larger.
Sure. It's a before and after where the after is both easier to write and more correct.
I'm gonna go ahead and just disagree with every premise in your comment. "Backcountry skis" are a thing, independent of any brand. This is like if I started a knife company and called it Pocket(TM). I wouldn't want WalMart to start selling "pocket knives", or else I might lose my trademark, huh.

Did you mean "conjectures"? Theorems need to be provable by definition, don't they?
And this shows in lots of places, from gaming (Linux is nowhere, meanwhile the most popular console runs FreeBSD) to enterprise routers (Juniper) or NAS (NetApp).
I agree, I’m dreading the question mark in my codebase. Everyone is just going to start throwing it everywhere and you’ll never be able to reason about what exists and what doesn’t.

If something is null or undefined, you should deal with it in one place, the correct place. And downstream code should be able to assume all data exists.
The thing with walkability is that it changes the frequency of shopping. If going to buy food requires me to drive to a supermarket, I'm going to want to buy enough stuff to do that rarely and that will be more bags than I'd like to carry. However, as I'm usually buying food by entering one of the multiple stores that's on my way when walking home from work, I do that almost every day, and then it's just a few items.

Do people keep A. cerana in Hong Kong in a domesticated fashion? The impression I had was that they were much less attractive than A. mellifera because their hives are much smaller, they swarm more easily, and they produce less honey. Also, since you can purchase strains of A. mellifera that have been bred for good temperament, I wonder how A. cerana compares in that department.
I love the idea of bivariate color scales, but is it just me or they are hard to read?
Anecdotally, I've had a yoga ball going on 4 years, though I only sit on them occasionally. I've never heard of one popping, failure on the other hand, can be a bouncing or tripping issue, also sliding off of the front. Though I wouldn't call these catastrophic.
So amusing that in place of real process and systems they point to a vague mission statement.

Can’t say I haven’t seen this kind of lazy management before.
I find it more interesting that some people expect the British not to use British English. It's not a choice, we just adhere to how the language was created. Apart from the US, British spelling differences are mostly followed by other countries where English is the main language too. It would be strange if an Englishman chose to use US spelling.
Of course they were. Almost no one is capable of staying totally focused on a task they have no input in and is incredibly unstimulating. Even if they were looking at the road their thoughts would be "Oh, someone is crossing the road. The car will slow down for this. Oh shit it didn't and now its too late"

The car either drives itself with no user input required at all or it needs constant user input.
Would you mind linking to that? Thanks

‘Jaywalkers’ is such an offensive concept. ‘People trying to cross a road.’ Someone told me you can actually be ticketed for crossing a road in the US? In the UK it is always the fault of the car driver if they hit a pedestrian as pedestrians are more vulnerable (code rule 204, but doesn’t apply to motorways.)
I'd imagine so, because stuff like `if let` doesn't work.
Self-driving car companies really need to perform more testing outside of "car culture" areas. Jaywalking is super common in Chicago. This vehicle would probably rack up a vehicular homicide charge within 30 minutes here.
There are no details in this article but I can't imagine building a car that does not have a prediction system that constantly updates the car's belief about where other objects in the environment are going to be every few milliseconds. Calling it "Was not programmed to detect jaywalkers" makes it sound like it was the victim's fault only. If the car couldn't detect humans and other moving objects and plan its course accordingly it was a a dumb waypoint follower programmed to look at traffic lights only. It could have run into something or someone else if traffic light detection didn't work correctly even once.
Because that's working out so well with internet providers, with somewhere around half the country having only one choice of provider?
But the Tesla pickup was announced to have 300,000 lb towing capacity and 400-500 miles of range.
I was a young (kindergarten and first grade) navy brat when the wall came down. I remember the sheer sense of joy and relief that the Cold War was ending. My community basically existed to support the nuclear forces of the United States and the knowledge that it had suddenly gotten a lot less likely that we’d all die in a nuclear fireball was clearly liberating.
An elliptical orbit would require the perigee to be even closer to the earth further increasing drag.

It is possible for small fragments to potentially be moved to higher orbits (with counter balancing mass being moved lower) But the conservation of momentum prevents the vast majority of fragments from suffering this fate.

Baring exceptionally bad luck a collision in LEO would usually decrease the time before the orbit decays. Remember a debris field has more surface area than an intact satellite.

Pretty much this. How could one whale pump so much money into the market?

It was a societal thing more so than an individual person. People were speculating like crazy to the point where you had grandmas giving investment advice on this new thing called 'bitcoin' for their grandkids to get rich from.

Tether's in the spotlight right now and journos will have a nice round of clickbait articles to keep the interest going. Reason will prevail!
On a ski trip I took in 2017, I was in line to buy a lift ticket one cold December morning. I remember overhearing the winter bros (the ones that usually talk about gnar and their steezy tricks) talking about installing Coinbase and buying Bitcoin.

I wouldn't underestimate the amount of retail investors that speculated on Bitcoin during that time. It was on major news networks in America, but also on national networks outside the U.S. My uncles and aunts were calling me asking how to buy Bitcoin outside the USA. The FOMO was real back then. Did Tether play a part in the grand pump? I'm sure it did, but I imagine it was more of a catalyst, and not the primary driver as the original study suggested.
