With this kind of analysis I can make the wearing of a t-shirt, jeans and trainers all about the penis too.

If you’re obsessed with how clothes represent genitals and sexuality, you’re going to find all clothes represent genitals and sexuality to some degree. Why that collar around the neck? Why that hoodie concealing the precise shape of the torso? Why the bright white of those Jordan Airs?

I wear a tie occasionally, with a three piece suit, because if I don’t, I can’t get access to the nice bits of the racecourses I visit across the UK (when such things were of course allowed).

Wearing a tie today is not about penises, it’s not about power, it’s about conformity. It’s about not standing out, merging into the crowd, becoming a little more anonymous. Walk around the City of London on a busy workday (except in 2020), and the men merge into one, hardly distinguishable in their uniforms.

The tie looks like a penis the way a trouser leg does. It embodies power the way a hoodie does. Women wear them in some contexts (restaurant waitresses, front of house staff in theatres, etc.), and not to show off their non-existent penis.

[edit:] As an aside it also serves a practical purpose of hiding the button line of a shirt, and if you miss your mouth when eating your lunch it is easily replaceable. Despite the detractor’s wails it is not an entirely useless piece of cloth if you’re eating soup in a formal setting [/edit]

People mostly wear them because it’s expected of them and to conform, and this article while having all the hallmarks of an intelligent and thoughtful piece is just a love letter to the author’s internal anxieties. If you share those anxieties, perhaps talk to a therapist.
Worst mouse I ever tried. But at least they learned for it and current Magic Mouse is a delight to use (on macOS).
Given that article has whole paragraph of speculation how power is expressed in feudal vs bureaucratic society, outside of genitals, which is consistent for each period, you ignoring that context is unfair.

The sorta serious bulk of article is about men who aspire to be powerful and little bit about women who aspire the same, so yeah, different periods go aboit it differently.

The article explains salted hashes, reversing salted hashes and the benefit of using bcrypt very well.
I sure hope so. With all the back and forth with Spotify/Epic/etc. vs. Apple, I've always wondered why at least some app that are not games (dependent on native code for performance) don't invest in/publicize their PWAs. Spotify has a semi-functional PWA.
It would seem so:

Some excellent points on the challenges of a manager. I would think that managing the people side of things can be hard as well, unless its a matrix organization.

As an engineer I agree that "time spent in a role" does not say anything about the quality of an employee.

That combined with the mindset of someone who clocks in the hours, adds up to a person that can be hard to work with.
At least if your own mindset is that you want to be good at what you are doing.

An example of that is a manual task that is holding the team back, but nobody is really pursuing how to get rid of that task or automating it.

Anyways, many good points and it definitely sounds like you are one of the great managers out there.
It's possible that we may have been able to find some in Central and South America, if they weren't squeezed by the war on drugs on one end, and state-actor-sponsored regime changes on the other.

But one does reap what one sows.
Well, the hoodie serves the dual function of representing the clitoral hood, as well as the foreskin of the penis. It's the first truly gender neutral uniform, and I for one would like to see it in the workplace more often.
As most of Bezos' fortune is in Amazon stock, this money is not exactly sleeping.
You don't need to change your face.

Your face is only authenticating you to your device because that's what you chose. If you don't want that (e.g. your identical twin sister loves pranking you) you can just use a different authenticator. The remote web site deliberately has no idea your face was involved, it just knows your identity was verified on its behalf by the hardware storing your private key.
There were multiple prominent politicians with serious wealth tax proposals running in the 2020 Democratic Party primary. If you want implementation details I would suggest that you read their proposals.

As for an "argument" it's really no different than any other political position in that it boils down mainly to what you personally value.

I've observed at least two distinct value systems which can both lead to supporting a wealth tax.

1) Maybe you believe in helping the marginalized and creating a more equitable society. Perhaps you believe it is insane and obscene that multi-millionaires and billionaires walk past tent cities of homeless people every day in the streets of San Francisco. Maybe you care about the well-being of other people and recognize that what is good for them is usually good for yourself.

2) Or maybe you believe that tax policy should optimize efficiency as a facilitator of economic growth. You recognize that the diminishing marginal utility of wealth and the runaway inequality in America presents a problem of inadequate aggregate demand and threatens the entire economy. Maybe you've done the math and realize that the US government must raise revenues to have any hope of staving off an eventual sovereign debt crisis.

From what I've seen, the people opposed to a wealth tax usually believe something else.
WebRTC requires DTLS (the UDP version of TLS) for the media streams; it doesn't even allow unencrypted.

The signaling for call setup / maintenance / teardown can be whatever, though. It looks like this uses socket.io with HTTPS long-polling. So you need a publicly-addressable IP (or a proxy service like ngrok) in order to host this yourself.

Assuming you host it yourself, all clients should have encrypted signaling with your server, and encrypted voice/video packets between each other. If someone else hosts it for you, they can see your signaling traffic, but -- unless they change the code to forward the media stream elsewhere in order to MitM it -- your media should still be encrypted.

However, this does make use of public STUN servers to help with NAT/firewall hole punching, which will leak your IP addresses and possibly make it so an adversary can figure out the IPs of the people who were talking to each other, based on the timing of connections. There are also public TURN servers listed which will act as media relays if the NAT traversal fails. Usually the TURN servers are dumb packet forwarders and won't terminate the DTLS sessions, so that should be fine, but I don't remember how the protocol works well enough (it's been a good 7 years since I was knee-deep in this stuff) to say that for certain.
Bingo. The world is more polarized now, and PG’s classic essays would get the same treatment if published today.

Those who don’t have a knee-jerk reaction to the politics they seem to imply, aren’t as loud as those who have to disagree.
That's what the doc told me, too.
I'm trying to keep out of this fight, but how are you planning on just stashing one hunk without staging?

Show HN: The First Incognito Mode-Based Platform for CVs
Didn't you notice that the link in the post itself goes to the same website? :p The skins from the museum are hosted on and implemented on Webamp.
There's a lot more runway, in a novel, to establish style and voice - both for the authors and for the translators. Monday Begins on Saturday begins:

"Я приближался к месту моего назначения. Вокруг меня, прижимаясь к самой дороге, зеленел лес, изредка уступая место полянам, поросшим желтой осокою."

Pretty much ez-mode compared to this opener, in the Gooseberries (Крыжовник) someone brought up upthread:

"Еще с раннего утра всё небо обложили дождевые тучи; было тихо, не жарко и скучно, как бывает в серые пасмурные дни, когда над полем давно уже нависли тучи, ждешь дождя, а его нет."

Two different translators' takes:

"The whole sky had been overcast with rain-clouds from early morning; it was a still day, not hot, but heavy, as it is in grey dull weather when the clouds have been hanging over the country for a long while, when one expects rain and it does not come."

and

"From early morning the sky had been overcast with clouds; the day was still, cool, and wearisome, as usual on grey, dull days when the clouds hang low over the fields and it looks like rain, which never comes."

The struggle is real!
Hi everyone. I'll like to introduce you to KwickBox. Its my latest project (currently in version 1.3)

Thanks - I just ordered the Midnight Manager based on this . I sometimes miss the philips screwdriver and bottle opener. I will give the Signature Lite to my wife :-).
That's talking about the HDL, not the software.
I didn't want to say that, but for a long time I already have a feeling that there are users here in the HN community whose sole purpose is to deny any kind of criticism against China or putting it in a bad light. Almost like paid trolls, I would say. I expect lots of this kind of comments in this thread too.
Okay, so I got the page to load (in a previous comment, I said it would not load). This guy is doing nothing correctly, and his code is an absolute mess. He's not using pandas except for displaying data and reading a CSV and his code is unnecessarily ugly and verbose. You really shouldn't be using very many loops at all when doing quant research. And he capitalizes all variable names, but whatever I guess.

He's using raw price data (not sure if Yahoo split and dividend adjusts, so that might be another problem), not log returns. Also as lalaland1125 pointed out, he's literally splitting his data into training and testing randomly, not keeping contiguous time-series. This makes no sense, and no quant researcher would ever do this.

Because of these problems, his results are completely and totally invalid and readers should completely ignore this article.

Looking at his linkedin, he has no experience in finance, as I expected. You can't just take over your textbook ML models and apply them to finance. It doesn't work like that.

I've seen a lot of these ML stock market witchcraft kind of medium posts lately and I hope they're making money off of medium, because they definitely aren't developing successful strategies.

Edit: I wasn't going to mention this, but I run a no bullshit quantitative finance blog: https://cryptm.org/

I keep it mathematically rigorous and honest. Some of it is original research, but most of it is backtesting/analysis of well known academic research.

Edit2: Take a look at this code:

while x < (len(data)):
if x < (len(data)-5):
if ((close_prices[x+1] + close_prices[x+2] + close_prices[x+3] + close_prices[x+4] + close_prices[x+5])/5) > close_prices[x]:
Five_Day_Obs.append(1)
else:
Five_Day_Obs.append(0)
else:

Not so sure about 'modern short story'. I was reading his collected short stories and they're all sketches rather than stories. Very few have an actual story. More like paintings of certain situations.
The takeaway for me is unfortunately:

* Never publish open source or anything else under your real name, if you can avoid it.

* There is no legal security in the US and personally, I find it too risky to do business there.
I think this is why I abandoned a hobby project. I could not figure out why it crashed!
Is this propaganda? Yes, production is shifting to Taiwan and other countries from China. No, it won’t happen overnight, it’ll only happen when it needs to. And China may still grow overall, but companies are leaving too and eventually the trend could overtake the growth.

They look nice, but OH GODNESS they are awful to use! And I’m not talking about the buttons, but the general ergonomics. My main issue is that the shape doesn’t embrace the hand at all which becomes painful quickly if used every day.
Population Pyramid estimates the 2100 population of China to be 1.06B which is 45% higher than the 732M figure estimated by Lancet.

1B feels like a lot more realistic estimate than 750M.
Can you please describe what “local first” is, and the implications of it in regards to a separate app?
huh, interesting. I’m sure there’s a use to this extra layer of “obscurity” after the sibling comment.
You can replace it - just pull it out. I use it very rarely if I need to sign something or fill out a short form (it’s not very comfortable) and I don’t have a regular pen nearby. So I am on the original pen and it still works (just tried).
Quite the contrary; if you host this yourself, remove the TURN server list, and host your own STUN server, it's much more secure than pretty much any of the third-party-hosted services out there. Assuming you trust your browser, that is.

Obviously I haven't audited the code, but it's pretty small, and wouldn't be hard to thoroughly audit.

It's surprisingly light on dependencies, just pulling in express as the webapp server, and socket.io for the call signaling. Personally I'd probably roll my own signaling over websocket to avoid that dependency (socket.io is an awful protocol, though for generally understandable reasons), but that would likely more than double the amount of code the author would've had to write.
I thought WebRTC was the coolest thing since sliced bread until I ran into the whole TURN and STUN thing. I feel catfished.
As of 2019 Mexico had about the same per capita GDP as China, and Brazil was only slightly behind. Brazil was ahead of both but the past 5 years have been rough. See https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?location...

China does have faster growth. Only time will tell if that continues.
I worked in non-it but programming-is-useful roles until age 35. Now I’m a sw developer. I don’t particularly recommend for or against as it’s a personal choice after all. But feasible, yes absolutely.
No mention of 5.8 in the comments yet... winamp.com

Is this really the original team? Or a clever scam?
It's not even that. Well, it is, but it's two separate things: you need a publicly-addressable server to host this code, for all the peers to connect to in order to discover each other and exchange session information. You could also host this locally and use something like ngrok to provide the publicly-addressable endpoint.

The NAT hole punching is done by the STUN servers listed in script.js. They appear to be public third-party STUN servers, so that could be a vector for a malicious actor. There are also third-party TURN servers listed, which will relay media in the case that NAT traversal fails. That should be ok too, but could also be another attack vector.
Yes but then again (i consider this their trolling of diy) google forces you to set up reverse resolve regardless of dkim. They effectively lock out (or should I say, spam out) anyone that doesnt have ISP preparing to do that and it complicates migration to another ISP. And prevents you running multiple domain mail server on single ip. It is true, that reverse resolve generally in EU isnt such a problem, but it does make issues for USA users.
how do i get paid shilling china?
Remember when the US government successfully formed a partenrship agreement with 13 countries called the TPP that would have been a strong counter to China's growing influence but Trump threw it in the trash as soon as he got into office. Making us weaker just for political purposes.
Did Gnome get back the lawsuit costs?

The article reads like they just agreed to stop trolling.
> That a government cannot infringe on these “inalienable rights” does not in itself guarantee that any of the economic actors within do not yield power that yanks these rights from its individuals.

The government is there as proactive guarantor of those rights, not just passively not itself infringe. This is explicitly stated in the Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men"

> A free market does not grant any special freedom for individuals, not life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness.

It does not "grant", as rights are inalienable, but a condition for a free market is those rights are guaranteed.

For example, "either his brains or his signature would be on the contract" is not a free market transaction. So are all forms of slavery.
But it's still used nonetheless (even if less than with IPv4).
I'm a big fan of rotating keys monthly just to force automation. Maybe that's the answer?
The issue brought up by the author are real, but I think many aren't necessarily inherent to remote work but are due to society and norms not having adapted to it yet. I've run a remote team for years and quite explicitly encourage socialization, develop new hires and thier connections, and encourage boundaries (mostly by telling people to stop working at 530p). We have few of the problems that are often claimed to be endemic in remote, because we have actively worked to build a culture that avoids them.

Even at a wider, multi-group level, we are able to address issues of innovation and serendipity by creating time and space for them. One of the best tricks is encouraging lots of small presentations on non-work or semi-work topics followed by lots of open ended conversation. People show up by mutual interest outside of their project based work and talk. I run a book club roughly themed to application development and every session I meet new people from across the org and exchange ideas. Some of these contacts have resulted in valuable insights for later projects. Volunteer projects and hackathons can serve a similar purpose.

These are just examples and we are hardly perfect, but I if the projections of an massive increase in WFH bear out at all, you'll see culture adapt to it as well- people will get better at socializing on screen, feel more free to ping with questions, and will find these alternate avenues to collaborate. I'm less confident that society outside of work will adapt as well, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a long term increase in young people continue to live with extended family or social clubs.
And that is a clear direction sign towards being a better team member.
The comments are curiously defensive of China and opposed to the West, as they always are when China is the topic.

And only China.

Hmm.
Don’t buy things from China. Vote with your wallet. I’ve personally done this for the past year or two. At least to the extent that it is possible. Would love to see a USA made mobile phone though.
"it’s about conformity."

You just nailed it.
Those are not specific to WebRTC though. They are needed protocols if you want a chance to traverse NATs. They're used by WebRTC and other VOIP stacks too.
Economies boom and bust. This has nothing to do with fiat currency, and is a heck of lot better then the alternative where shopkeepers and employees are made poorer due to economic prosperity because they don't adjust their prices fast enough.
Good running technique and concentrate on your breathing.
You are just going to state something that is blatantly false without any evidence or references? The nature of 51% attacks is pretty well known among the cryptocurrency community, and it's not hard to understand the technical aspects of it. You can't rewrite history because you don't have the private keys to the wallets you want to steal coins from. It's impossible. You can only affect transactions around the time of the attack.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Weaknesses#Attacker_has_a_lot_of_...

https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/658/what-can-an-...

"An attacker that controls more than 50% of the network's computing power can, for the time that he is in control, exclude and modify the ordering of transactions. This allows him to:

* Reverse transactions that he sends while he's in control
Prevent some or all transactions from gaining any confirmations

* Prevent some or all other generators from getting any generations

The attacker can't:

* Reverse other people's transactions

* Prevent transactions from being sent at all (they'll show as 0/unconfirmed)

* Change the number of coins generated per block

* Create coins out of thin air

* Send coins that never belonged to him"

No doubt that the US administration wants this.

But given how 2020 has unfolded. If I were a business owner and I had the option of building a factory in say India or China; then China surely has proven more stable.

Of course could I place the factory in Spain or Japan for the same cost, I would do so. But that has always been the case.
SAKs are the best example for an exercise in restraint. Buy one with too many features and you won't carry it everywhere with you, buy one with too little and you'll cover too few situations where it could be useful.

Buying a new one is for me a very calming experience as I get to contemplate how I spent the last few years and how my life over the coming years is going to change.
Thanks! Yes, they are random GUID-like values and are short lived (2-4hrs). Had a need to store them for a reason and decided to only add pepper to hash considering they are unique and short lived anyway.
A first rate presentation on this topic is 'The emergent multiverse' by David Wallace. There's a detailed review in http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/10940/1/Wallace_review_final...

In the book, Wallace quotes an interchange between Paul Davies and David Deutsch. <Davies> "So the parallel universes are cheap on assumptions but expensive on universes?" <Deutsch> "Exactly right. In physics we always try to make things cheap on assumptions." & Wallace re-quotes 'I do not know how to refute an incredulous stare'.
Not sure about Debian, but stock FreeBSD boots just fine.
I've met programmers who didn't understand functions. Pretty well everything was one giant code block. He also didn't understand the need for compiler warnings and switched them all off.

Come to think of it, I refactored some code from a guy who didn't understand procs. He just cut & pasted code 'snippets' (a snippet being about a screenful) a couple of hundred times.

I find it difficult to understand such people.

At the company I work for everyone gets a MagicMouse. The pattern is that after 2-3 months of usage everyone gives up and switches to one of those Logitech MX mouses - so did I. MagicMouse is so goddamn uncomfortable to use if you ever touched a good comfortable mouse. It is now resting in the back of my shelf.
