I would argue it's an Amazon referral engine framing itself as a book review site. They have optimized for purchases and not for reader happiness / quality.

A competing site that is focused on surfacing books that the reader likes, with links to more than just a single purchase point would likely gain enough traction to be useful.

I imagine that scraping a user's GoodReads profile every now and again with authorization would also allow the user to update status in their Kindle / eReader while still populating another site, which would be interesting.

Lovely. Feature request... two sliders for X/Y offset, to solve the issue where path of a river and height data don't match after changing height scale with overlay opacity under 100 (e.g. see https://imgur.com/a/ipm1ixb )
Pretty cool!

After tweaking a little bit of settings (reducing height settings to low), get a very interesting graphics for Asia+Europe - quite a few majestic mountain ranges there.

I can get done through UDPR, but it is very expensive for me at the moment. Let's see if I get any other feasible options.
Because they're already truncated.

SHA-384 is SHA-512 with a different IV (which doesn't affect LEAs) truncated to 384 bits (which gives you 128 bits of resistance against LEAs).

SHA-224 is the same story but with SHA-256 instead (and only 32 bits of LEA resistance).

"This was not even remotely close to being poor..."
Digression here: This reminds me of Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, based around a genius that predicts events and cultural paths based on a mathematical formulas for aggregated human psychology. It led me to imagine a world where societies can not only be influenced, but their actions predicted, and a system that would emerge that capitalizes on alphas in this environment much like the stock market. This would almost act as a solution to this problem we currently have, if many agents were predicting and acting on these alphas so that the alphas that do exist are very small. After all, most of the problems we currently experience are due to this potential (alphas, in my analogy) being so large and profitable.
> The distinction between /dev/random and /dev/urandom makes it appear that /dev/urandom is inferior and /dev/random is the "true" random number generator but that isn't the case. They are equally good since they both wait for an initial amount of entropy and receive additional entropy from the OS even after boot.

I was under the impression that urandom does not wait for initial entropy on Linux. Am I mistaken/has this changed?
> Not everyone is interested, plain and simple.

"Not many people can read and write, plain and simple" was a true statement for much of the planet not that long ago. I wonder what changed between then and now, was it just a run of good luck, or was the change somehow man-made.
Vegan Mac Cheese sauce is perhaps the simplistic thing to make - soak cashews overnight in fridge, drain water, add fresh water, blends, add nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, garlic, and a lemon. Heat and serve.
Just two weeks before the first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, the target for the second bomb wasn't going to be Nagasaki's industrial zone but instead Kyoto, a city of immense cultural value.

Henry Stimson, the U.S. Secretary of War, had visited Kyoto several times including his honeymoon. He lobbied directly with the President to save Kyoto.

"The military didn't want it removed so it kept putting Kyoto back on the list until late July but Stimson went directly to President Truman."

Iran has many sites as important as Kyoto. I'm 99.9% sure there's nobody in the Trump administration who went to Iran for their honeymoon, however...
I prefer to focus on the virtues that bring happiness and joy to my life while I'm alive. Money is one of those things. I don't care about what people will say at my funeral because I won't be there. If being brave and honest makes you happy and brings joy to your life then go for it. If the challenges of becoming a billionaire is what makes you feel alive, then go for it.
Why not? Animal welfare is a primary reason why some people don't eat meat. Making them braindead should alleviate the concern for those people, but I have a feeling that the same people would be against it.
Cheap homes in the Bay Area have terrible schools. You’ll need to factor in private school if you go that route. That’s $25k per kid per year.
A bunch of companies took hold of a distributed system of information and centralized it under their control.

Now those companies are claiming they cannot control disinformation, adversial content and whatnot because they have too much content. At the same time they are saying they would be the best in place to currate and control it because of market dynamics.

I'm not advocating for a total ban of content unless it's "government" approved.

But what's the difference between a government setting the rules and a corporation deciding the rules? We can vote out a government, but we can't vote out a corporation.

This isn't new and we've dealt with this in the past. The technology is different but the tactics are the same.
Number 1 issue here is parents allowing a 1 year old to watch online content instead of interacting with the world and playing with them.

> It’s time to open the floodgates. Time for men to give up emulating the stone-faced heroes of action movies and be more like the emotive heroes of Homer, like the weeping kings, saints and statesmen of thousands of years of human history.

I fully support the premise, but it clearly ignores the reality. A man has to first be convinced that the environment around him will not reject him for crying, before expecting him to be vulnerable in such an unfamiliar way.

Will a crying man be deemed as someone unsuitable for being the emotional pillar in a relationship ?

Will a crying man be seen as someone who can't deal with crisis ?

Will a crying man be seen to be a child ?

No matter how much we tell someone it is alright, they won't believe it to be true until the environment shows it to be so. People talk about toxic masculinity as though it is a problem created only by men. But, the idea of it pervades throughout society. Affecting children, women and men alike. Men can't be the only ones battling it.

A comment pointed towards Khamenei crying at Soleimani's funeral as a sign towards encouraging men to cry. However, I only see it as an example for the contrary. Crying for men carries a weight, that implies that it must be reserved for an occasion special enough to warrant it. Had men crying at the death of their closest friend been customary, then Khamenei's voice cracking at the funeral would have never been reported as a special observation.
I'm in North America and have never heard ‘in shambles’, without ‘a’. If I did, I'd probably take it as uneducated sociolect.

Yikes! I just interviewed at Zume Seattle less than 3 months ago and they had over 100 head count open with plans for an office move that doubled the space. Wasn't the right place for myself at the time and I seemed to have dodged a bullet. Seems they banked a little to hard on their relationship with SoftBank and the promise of future funding.
We might have a problem because scientists spend too much time just giving the information and not on working on the 'manipulation' side of it. For example, take any news site dedicated to scientific news and look at how much even they will twist the facts to make it easier to digest and more interesting.

Scientist: Chemical XYZ seen to reduce growth rate of cancer ABC cultured in a petri dish compared to control group. Around 10% reduction average, p < .01, see table 4. Not statistically significantly better than chemical MNO which was also being tested. Further research needed.

Science News: Chemical XYZ helps fight cancer ABC.

Normal News: Does <something that contains chemical XYZ> cure cancer?

If scientists were better at manipulating education to be engaging to the public they wouldn't lose out as often to those pushing fake (or at least far more questionable) information.
Thanks this is a good idea will give it a shot.

ThinLTO was written by people responsible for peak optimization of very large programs at Google. I honestly can’t call it “fast” but it’s a lot faster than GCC LTO. You normally only peak-optimize your release builds so it’s not like developers are sitting there counting the seconds.
So lets see if I get this right. SpaceX tells when and where it's satellites will be orbit, yet somehow the ability to filter they out does not exist?

How do they handle the THOUSANDS of objects already orbiting Earth then?

Second, is it not time to start thinking of space based telescopes, and even what you can do with orbiting scopes pointed to the same area of the sky?

There's a few reasons. Oftentimes the milk cooker is refilled/restocked from a walk-in cooler behind it accessible only to employees, and it would obviously be difficult to put this anywhere other than the back wall. I suspect it's also easier to run the utilities for freezers and coolers around the perimeter of the store and then down a few aisles.
Probably not. There's a more practical reason in most big stores: the shelves where the dairy items are displayed are the front wall of a refrigerated room. This way the product can be placed directly from behind, and never taken out of the cold.

And in a store where the cases are stocked from the front, they need to be up against some wall so that they have access to electrical outlets (and maybe drainage for the compressors, depending on the nature of the case).
This makes sense to me. Thanks for the insight!
What a diatribe! Unfortunately (and I mentioned this irony in my previous comment), your last paragraph undermines all of the previous.

> Barring some legislated community standard that does so, the only truly effective way to keep your neighbors from screwing up your lifestyle is by effectively not having any. Move to the center of your own square mile.

Can you not see that the above is essentially saying, "Either create community standards where you live, or (wait for it...) live somewhere else!"? Your argument boils down to "YOU live somewhere else!"
No, a more correct article would say: Finlands Prime minister discussed a 4 day week several years ago, before she was prime minister but hasnt mentioned it as part of any political program since she became prime minister.
In the United States, the dairy industry is heavily subsidized, there was a brouhaha early in the Trump administration about USA versus Canada dairy subsidies prior to the NAFTA trade deal being replaced. The cost to consumers in the USA should be higher without subsidies but who knows what all the consequences would be since this has been going on for so long.

I've been buying Horizon whole milk for awhile because the cheap milk gallons taste watered down. The price difference is large (~$5 vs ~$2.50), but the milk tastes way better.
This can really apply to almost everything though, since if I understand you, it seems to be about progress in the face impermanence. The history of science is basically a constant process of things kind of working, then breaking. But overall it goes forward and things are better off for it. In contrast, I find it kind of inspiring.
Is it just me to see a bigger problem here - what the fuck is wrong with people to let their tiny innocent offspring just watch some fucking dumb TV?

Is this the best they can do as parents? I mean, we all know just dumb sitting on couch and passively consuming whatever goes in TV ain't healthy mentally (and physically), and they ingrain this approach in their kids since very young age?

Parenting ain't easy, never was and probably never will be, but damn invest some proper human time in it, don't just offload raising of your kids to some stupid website which lives off ads. This is best invested time of your life.

I have a 2-week newborn, and damn he ain't getting close to TV/phone/tablets till much much later, and even that in limited manner.
In theory.. But in practice, when men are trying to acquire more resources for other marginalised men e.g shelters for male victims of domestic abuse, who is lobbying against them? Feminists.

AMD is cooperating closely with Chinese firms and has them to thank in part for its resurgence in the desktop die space.

I wouldn't be surprised if these partnerships lead to more AMD PC's from small OEM's in the near future, perhaps only for the Chinese market.

Chinese home-grown fabrication is also at parity with AMD Bulldozer, and likely to accelerate with acquisitions of European chipmaker technology.

Notably meanwhile China has effectively blocked Qualcomm from making similar moves purportedly on antitrust grounds.

depends on the paste, but safe to say 10 years is probably beyond the duty cycle. its $10 for a tube of arctic silver (I went with Arctic's organic, non conductive one I forget the name) that you can use for 10 or more applications. it takes 5 minutes to replace the thermal paste on a cpu.

remember intel cpus will simply throttle themselves at high temps, so replacing the paste will allow heat dissipation across all the cores (as I witnessed first hand)

A defined benefit plan is (nominally) funded by the employer with little or no input from the employee at time of investment or distribution.

A 401k is funded by the employee, with the employee managing contribution level, fund investment, and eventually distributions.

They're only the same, if by same you mean "retirement plans". The details are substantially different.
There's a bit of "get you coming and going" here.

If the NSA -- and other state / state-like actors -- are omnipotent, and can always find you through your email, etc, you either have to stop what you're doing or be willing to deal with being caught or exposed.

If they aren't all-powerful, but people stop using email to communicate and stop carrying out their business because of the belief they are, that also serves the same purpose as catching or exposing the people in question -- it stops their activities.

This reminds me of the idea behind WikiLeaks -- not just to expose the leaked documents, but to make it so costly to carry on secret communications and operations that people stop trying.
>My brother and I were from a normal middle class background but both went to fancy private schools.

One person's "worsening their condition" is another person's self-medication.

Sure, you can ask them what they need, but the nice thing about cash if they can use it to buy whatever they need, that's what cash is for. And have the dignity to decide for themselves what it is, not have to tell you and get it approved like you're their teacher or boss.

I mean, are you spending some of YOUR money on alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes? Then you can afford to give someone cash without needing to worry about whether they might do the same, and whether that's good for them or not.

I dunno, I guess my conception of manliness is different because I think what makes "manly weeping" different from conventional weeping is precisely that emotion has so moved a man as to make social consequences irrelevant.
The effect of the expansion of the universe on bound systems is far to small to be observed. Two objects 1 meter apart would move at a speed of 10^-17 m/s. Utterly unobservable. But we know space is expanding by looking at things that are super far away from us and that are not bound.

You as an individual can stop using a corporation's products way more easily than you as an individual can vote out a government. My personal success with voting out governments is zero, but my success in boycotting corporations is pretty high.

It's not, but it might take more work than reading a few HN comments.
Agreed. I'm not very emotional. I've nearly cried once in my adult life and that was at a funeral for someone close. I don't think I'm missing much but I'm sure people will contend I don't know what I'm missing, oh well.

Reddit is a very bad place to go for a picture resembling "reality for normal people". The format of the website is very conducive to people trying to one-up each other with their conformance to whatever things are popular at the time and that gets divorced from reality really quickly.

From my own 4 years' experience, I echo what zenpaul said, and would add:

* Understand who your client is, and stop and check in if they change. I once had a manager at a client company change mid-project, and the politics (and sense of trust) completely reversed -- in retrospect, I should have insisted that we start the relationship over, clarify expectations, etc.

* It's not always a good idea to agree to disagree. I estimated one sub-project would take 3 weeks, and a client insisted it should take more like one; we decided to proceed, it took 3 weeks, and the client was unhappy. Looking back, I think we should have more seriously considered dropping the project if we couldn't agree on expectations. This can be proposed gently and respectfully: if you don't think that plan is worth it, I'm happy to do my best to help you find someone else.
you mean intel system76, right ? Yeah, they are worth looking into now since they ship with coreboot.
As stated, they are talking about "modern security software".
