APK Get Token from URL
Hi,

I have an application on my android phone. There is a browser inside the application. It writes token to the URL with the Post method. SAMPLE;

the token is refreshing every hour. How can I get token from the APK? I need to get the token code regularly.

Sorry for my English.
If you have a mechanism for making the patent freely available to Canadians only that's fine.

But if the taxpayers who funded the research have to license the technology to use it, that's just robbery.
Most of the conventional wisdom about SaaS is spread by (marketing departments of) the SaaS companies themselves, who have noticed that the lifetime value of a customer is higher if they pay you every month (ideally with some form of lock-in) than if they pay you once for a program they can keep using without extra payments.

If the customer is a startup themselves and therefore has a very short expected lifespan, this does not necessarily matter because the lower upfront cost enables cheaper experimentation and pivoting. If you are in a business with product/market fit that has been around for some time already, the lowest possible upfront cost is much less of an issue compared to the total cost of ownership and the risk of a critical dependency disappearing. SaaS startups do poorly on both of those metrics.
I can concede that it may depend on the precise formal system you are using, but I think you can easily imagine a logic where a predicate ∈ takes two variables (x, y) of any kind and returns "true" iff y is a set and x is in y. In a well-founded system where numbers are ur-elements ∈(5, 5) would be well-formed and equal to "false" as every other expression of the form ∈(x, x).

In this vein I would consider "5 smells insanity" nonsencial in the colloquial sense and at the same time false.

The big tech companies’ only advantage is that they can manufacture more complex tech. Their goal is to move what users want towards things that are hard to build, not necessarily what users would naturally want.

This is truly brilliant and an example of using your core competency to compete better. Wal-Mart made it where they are today by vastly improving logistics. Headquarters knew when one tube of toothpaste left a store before Amazon even sold toothpaste. I think this idea could keep Wal-Mart in the game for a long time.
I agree that their only goal is to maximize profits. I think they’re missing the opportunity to be a unifying force in a highly divided country. Targeted, unmoderated attack ads do not have a positive unifying effect.

> The cancer death rate has not budged that much in 40 years. Survivability has extended, absolutely, and that is worth something, but not more than a few years. Compared to AIDS, a disease also without a real cure but that has extended survivability by decades this is unacceptable.

Ignoring the fact that cancer is a much harder problem than HIV, extending survivability is how the cancer death rate changes. Everyone who doesn't die by other causes would eventually get cancer because DNA replication can only happen so many times before accumulated replication errors trigger it. In a sense, curing HIV means more people will die of cancer (other things equal).

Also, cancer is not one thing. You have a particular type (like NSCLC), but also your particular genetic mutations may be unique or nearly so, affecting different combinations of oncogenes and tumor suppressors in different ways. This makes it extremely difficult to treat. Even broadly useful approaches like cancer immunology work better for some than others.

Just as someone who got on the Ruby bandwagon back in the mid 00's there was definitely a feel of Ruby being a "Japanese import language" and at the time for myself, comparing Matz and van Rossom the latter felt like a little bit more of a scientist/engineer than the former who seemed very humanity focused.

Also I think the mantra of "developer happiness is the #1 goal of ruby" kind of makes ruby seem a bit more fanciful and flowery than python.

These are just my personal anecdotes, though, I am assuming that most people (myself included) start eyeing seemingly superficial things like the attitude of the language author when a lot of other qualities of the language are similar.
Thanks for sharing this story! I just finished reading it and it's a good reminder that we live together and depend on each other's help and support.
I don’t really like the admin interfaces or CLIs of either AWS or Azure. I’ve had an easier time with Azure than AWS for my personal projects, but maybe that’s just from being used to the Microsoft way.

I’m not sure why they are so much harder to use than the smaller services like heroku or digital ocean. You’d think the big guys would have the best and easiest services, but they sure don’t.

If people dropped out a while ago, then it matters for history of genre and past gender imbalance. It matters for the dispute on whether culture inside genre could have influenced gender ratio - or whether girls simply can't appreciate sci-fi due to their nature.

It matters because it influenced what people in gendre think about what is cool and what is wrong. It matters for us to understand how past culture really functioned, because past is used as argument today.

It matters because it shows how much of 1950 nostalgia is pure bullshit.

The full Bachs biography and Marlowe biographies are interesting too. At least for those of us interested in history beyond "cool stories".

How to Speak [video]
This analysis has quite a few assumptions in it, for example the carbon-tax might (and should) not come "alone" and many of the things stated can be tamed increasing social spending, subsidizing basic needs etc.
With the net effect that something like flight travel and secondary needs are going to be more expensive, while keeping the primary one at current cost-levels.

Politics should (and often does) play a game of weights and counter-weights in economical terms to steer the society.

So yes just introducing a heavy carbon-tax is not the right solution, and I also think that long term is useless: as an example, I live in Europe where the cost of fuel is significantly higher than in the US, but traffic and fuel usage is comparable. Most likely it was lower than US in the past, but society tend to catch up anyway.

I think that something like the idea in the article is a good solution because it is not just a mere reduction, but could make carbon sequestration (via plants) useful to produce food, therefore fixing a present problem and as a byproduct also reducing a future problem.

I still think that Carbon tax is needed, but it should come in a very well thought-out packet of reforms.
I think that another issue with VLIW as a general purpose ISA is that for it to be worthwhile the compiler has to have deep understanding of the underlying implementation (deep enough to always generate hazard-free code) such that the CPU does not have to contain any scheduling logic. This is the case for most embedded/DSP VLIW architectures. The issue with that is that there cannot reasonably be any kind of backward compatibility on the machine code level.
To be fair, I mostly don't fault git for failing to optimize that far, even if there are alternatives that do. That's far enough outside the core use case for myself and those I know that I'd be willing to sacrifice it for other, more important considerations.

But I'm totally willing to fault git for failing to optimize enough to handle the manual commit cadence of source game assets though. Because that's not just a tertiary use case - frequently for coworkers it's their primary use case. The end result is I mostly only use git for personal hobby stuff, where it's a secondary use case and my assets are sufficiently small as to not cause problems.
Author here. Not so long ago, I decided to learn how to make extensions for browsers. I had no concrete idea about what kind of extensions to do. Therefore, I wanted to know which extensions are in demand among users, but could not find any resources with analytics for the extensions.

Former Ethereum Foundation Specialist Virgil Griffith Formally Charged
> When it launched in 2001...the idea that a massive array of cheap x86 processors will outperform enterprise-class servers simply hadn't occurred to most people yet

The idea was certainly around in the early-to-mid 1980s, when some former Intel engineers founded Sequent.

The Balance 8000, released in 1984, supported up to 12 processors on dual-CPU boards, while the Balance 21000, released in 1986, supported up to 30.

I interviewed the founder, Casey Powell, and he was explicit about multiple Intel microprocessors replacing large systems. He was targeting minicomputers at the time, of course, but we all anticipated that bigger sets of more powerful CPUs would eventually surpass even the biggest "big iron".

Powell was a great guy. However, his company got taken over by IBM. In the end, he didn't get to change the world.

Throughput credits, you're right, my bad.

The agents were in ECS with no persistent storage, so that wasn't the problem. I was just running the Jenkins master off of EFS, for the persistent configuration storage.

And I don't think it's the latency that's killing EFS usage, it's the throughput. While the credits were there, everything went smoothly, once the credits ran out, the base throughput was fit for IO meant for the 90s.

From GDPR Article 3:

> 2. This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union, where the processing activities are related to:
> (a) the offering of goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the Union; or
> (b) the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the Union.

This makes perfect sense from the perspective of some old politician: It's like shooting someone over the country border. It fails to address the fact that unlike in physical space, on the internet it's not that obvious to see where someone is connecting from (in fact, it's impossible to really say with complete accuracy)

But in my opinion, it's not the wrong choice to assume that, if you're operating on a scale where you can spy on your users and sell their data, you'd be capable of figuring out whether they're in the EU. And, honestly, it's not hard. There's third party software that you can just embed in your website and it automatically generates the cookie warning and even blocks cookies until you've accepted it.
It is, though that limitation is essentially ignored by the NSA.
Something others haven't mentioned might help along the way: see if you can get an office-type job at a construction company while you are self-learning and/or going to school. It could even be volunteering where you currently work to help out with any IT stuff.

You already know a lot more about construction than others like processes, procedures, etc. and in an office setting you will likely run into IT related work that needs to get done. It may not be building websites but it might lead to that ... lots of web applications are just a few steps beyond someone's Excel/Access contraption.

I would have been extremely negative on this Lenovo machine if it didn’t have the keyboard docking solution that it does have. I have to admit that it’s clever and practical.

What the machine needs is a way for the fully folded out display to stand itself up at a comfortable viewing angle.

One thing I’m concerned about is the hardware-first mentality that OEMs have taken to foldable designs. The whole experience needs to make its advantages and use case more plainly obvious. To that end, you can tell by the demo video that Windows isn’t customized nearly enough to make this a pleasant experience.

Windows still isn’t a touch experience that I’ve seen anyone use in the wild because the bulk of its utility is with legacy style Windows applications that demand precise cursor movement and keyboard shortcuts. Every single person I’ve seen using a Surface Pro at coffee shops has been using it in “laptop mode.”

To this end, this device should be answering the question of “Why should I buy this over a cheaper XPS 13 or MacBook Air that fits in my backpack just fine?” With this computer’s minuscule keyboard and touchpad along with a digital drawing experience that can’t be any good I’m just not sure who this product is meant to appeal to.

Products like this ask the question “What hardware can we build?” But the correct question is “How do we make something that people will love to use and want to own?”

Foldable devices are in danger of being the 3D or curved TV of the 2020s. I think the most likely outcome will be us sitting here in five years wondering why anyone thought that foldable devices were a good idea.
Wooooosh...

Really?

Some professors have “hard money” jobs where the university covers most/all of their salary; startup packages that are meant to help you get a grant are pretty common, as are fellowships or TAships for students.

However, I don’t think most universities cover much of the actual research expenses.

As for the patent, most places offer a split with the inventor, and may not patent everything; they have a right of first refusal though.
I'm not sure off the top of my head, but you could try asking administrators at a few schools nearby. They might say on their website.
If you can find stable remote work that you enjoy that's surely something to consider. If you are flexible on where you can live you can really skew the relative compensation in your favor. I think for most situations you'll find the decrease in pay is more than compensated for by the decreased cost of living compared to the left coast.
So what you're saying is, they need 2FA for their 2FA
Exactly, legibility is an explanation for why such practices are adopted. They kill morale and productivity yet they must be optimizing for something or else nobody would do them. That something is legibility.

From a social psychology-perspective, I think we are far more fragile than you suggest here, but I'm not in team "make facebook responsible for the moderation of political speech", and I don't want to derail the conversation.

That being said: while HN's audience likes to think of itself as less gullible than the average internet-user, there is no escape from social proof et al.; see the prevalence of the appendix "/s" -- on the internet, no one knows if you're serious, and whenever you contribute to political topics, it's probably wiser to play it safe (instead of going for the luls), because someone will get it wrong.

And, looking at brexit or the last U.S. election, i'd have thought it became more than clear that we need to refine "our game"; you were not part of an "american interference conspiracy", but you did interfere, take from that what you will

* (disclaimer) for people who have the time and money to actually go through with a lawsuit.

* (disclaimer) cops almost never get convicted so it can be a fruitless, expensive waste of money and years of time.

We had to waste a lot of money and years of our time just to get an offense stricken from my mom's record: a sociopathic dick of a cop in a rural area made up trumped up charges to place on my mom in an escalation with a local school district. Compensation? Haha, good joke! We were lucky to have the money to fight the charges, but that cop received no punishment. Furthermore, my parents run their own business so they had no problem with the amount of time needed.

Lawsuits may as well not exist for a large portion of the population.

Yes carbon tax would be a good thing, but it has to be part of a balanced tax-intervention, and the benefit is a slow down on the collision path, but we need something to reverse the direction, and carbon tax is not it, is just buying additional time to figure out a real solution.

(I also wrote down a more articulated answer to what I thing about carbon-tax)
It’s a bad laptop because you need a separate keyboard to use it (typing on screen is hard). So it fails at the both usage you listed.
When I see charities that employ people in expensive locations I don't feel like my money is actually having any impact. Remember the 80000 hours advice? Make a boatload of money and spend it on charity? That doesn't work when working an additional 40 hours of overtime a week results in someone else getting a 20 hour per week position at a charity because they earn twice as much as you. Why not just do the 20 hours yourself at that point? Save money for a year. Be a volunteer for 6 months. Except people won't do that. So nothing gets done in the end and since the charity probably wastes the money anyway you don't even have to feel bad.
It's scary how lost I feel anywhere when I don't have my phone on me (in the sense of: how will I get where I need to go) even when I'm in a place where I speak the language and can read the signs.

Whats interesting is that according to the Bible humans lived from several hundred years to ~1000 years.

Show HN: Acute – In-app widget to collect and analyze feedback (getacute.io)
Hey guys,

I've recently launched Acute (https://getacute.io), a service for collecting in-app feedback, analyzing it based on user data, and prioritizing it based on RICE factors.

Acute offers an in-app widget that you can install with two lines of code, is customizable, and captures the feedback's user metadata (creation date, mrr, plan) so you can segment and analyze your feedback.

I am looking for any feedback you might have regarding the service. Anything from landing page, value proposition, features, design to the overall concept.

Would you find this useful? What are the reasons you wouldn't use the service? Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated, no matter how negative.

Thanks a lot guys!
