I have a spare domain pin.io. If anyone has good usage for it please let me know at marcin.mieszek@gmail.com.
"The application has been received. Now awaiting payment authorization."

That didn't take long.
Yup. Read an article the other day that police cars in some US cities drives around continously scanning license plates with topmounted cameras. Given Moore's law, I suppose they will sooner or later have the computanional power to be able to expand that to realtime facial scanning too.
What would be a better way to handle this situation?

(edit) I'm not saying that this is the best option. The government is tasked with ensuring public safety and this is an issue with major public safety repercussions. They cannot just sit and watch this unfold, and what this guy said is basically the most obvious way of dealing with the situation.

See the problem?
We had 40-hrs work week rule from day 1 (well, nobody followed it in the beginning though). Now we have 50 people on board and it is really important to maintain a good balance to keep energy. So we have 4 working days and 1 day (Friday) dedicated to learning and personal projects. We have no overtimes for years. It is an incredibly rare event.
You don't have to kill someone in line of sight with it to argue that a technology is a vital military asset. Nor has it to be its sole purpose.

PPS: I'm not saying encryption should regulated by the government.
Not entirely accurate.

That all happened after hipsters squatting these domains cried Google a whaaambulance over not getting the search-rank they felt they "deserved".

Something else made these utterly pointless domains popular before that, but what that was, I don't know.
There is the old saying that "talent skips a generation". It is much an observation on parenting styles as anything. This "tiger" moniker just refers to extremely pushy (read "abusive") parents. Their reward will be producing children who grow up hating them.
Ew. Those domains look so shady that if I received emails from them, I'm pretty sure they would instantly be classified as spam.
gandi.net. $40/year (not cheap, but cheaper than most).
So "eventually consistent" networks are A+P, but compromise on C? I guess that for many applications it's good enough.
Seems like a lot of replies have leapt straight to the sociopath/psychopath answer. And they may be right, but it's not as likely as depression.

Here's an acid test that may help you work it out: Studies have been done where people were told they would be given a painful electric shock. This was then administered. They were told a few minutes later that they were about to receive another shock.

Normal people would react to the knowledge - as soon as they were told "We're gonna shock you" their heart rate increased, etc. Psycopaths registered no change until the shock was actually administered.

So: If you knew something was about to inflict real pain on you, would you tense up? If yes, you're most likely depressed.

I've been through the "No feelings at all" type of depression myself - weirdest part was when my dog died, and I sobbed my eyes out but didn't actually feel any emotion at all on the inside.

I had to go through the black hole of abject misery and out the other side before I got my feelings back. Hopefully you can find an easier way!

Don't underestimate the benefits you can get by just talking to somebody about it.
A QR code can store 2,953 bytes. If you were just encoding compressed vertex data it might be enough (depending on the complexity of the model - I haven't seen it myself).

Reconciling themselves to the inevitable, perhaps? That is too much to expect from any government, however.
Why we’ve failed at the Lean Principles building a Live Tweet App so far.
But that's not the same. Printing a 3D gun is relatively easy: download the design, print it, and that's it (more or less). With an improvised firearm, you have to search the design, get the materials, build it, and unless you're experienced the gun probably won't work.

For me, it's like saying "we should not control gunpowder sales because you can make gunpowder at home". Silly example, I know, but you get my point.
> So either I misunderstand your comment, or you're a libertarian nutcase(1) trying to hijack this thread.

Nope, you didn't misunderstand. You're just a controlling jackass.

See? I can call people names too.

Why don't you try using your head and make a cogent argument for restricting an individual's right to create and distribute CAD files, hmm?
Based on my experience, the hilarious thing about NLP is that it is easy for humans to generate easy to parse sentences like "Facebook acquires Instagram.", but if you are trying to parse a naturally flowing conversion, you rarely get easy examples like that. There is so much context in our conversations.
> It's now quite obvious to me (that's all I want to claim) that this period in human history is having a profoundly formative effect on the progress of the species and, should we collectively survive the immense challenges currently facing us, will be a subject of special interest to future historians.

This stood out to me as one of the most beautiful things I've read on hacker news to date, and I completely agree. Thank you!
Very short names are useful for link shortening. There are good reasons to pick names out of the "gTLDified" ccTLDs for that. IO isn't even a real country, so it's a better choice for ccTLD abuse than something totally stupid like LY.
Are you saying he's dumb for wanting to restrict gun fabrication , or dumb for thinking that legislation will work when the information is already on the net?
Elaborate, please. In practical terms.

I was going for "being an introvert" too, unless you forgot to add "I torture random animals for the sake of it" or "I like to take advantage of people" in your description. In any case, I'm always surprised by the amount of people on the internet who are willing to label a random stranger a psychopath based on a single paragraph of text.

Standard disclaimer applies: Please don't take your medical advice from the internet.

Even though this is really sad from IT point of view, I kind of like that there are people who always forces IT to be better and better.
PS: I personally think that human made systems will never be absolute secure anyway.
Lots of unsubstantiated assertions including the paranoid belief that r/atheism is hate speech. Why not go back to Fox and Disney, the real world must be an uncomfortable place for you.
A simple spray-on fix (‘Take this pill daily for the next two weeks and everything will be fabulous’) is indeed likely an oversimplification. However, we are making progress treating cancer, HIV and hundreds of other diseases and bodily malfunctions, and I see little reason to be that pessimistic about treating psychological malfunctions. Just recall how far medicine got in the last 100 years and how much faster research moves forward nowadays than it did during most of that time. Sure, there won’t be an easy treatment any time soon, but I’m sure that there will be an effective treatment.

And even if you think that nanomachines reprogramming the brain are absolutely necessary to treat depression, I can assure you that people work on that, too.

I'm surprised it's not 1080p or similar quality yet. That technology is so cheap these days; I'm sure it'll be a few more years before all security cams are recording in HD as the norm.
Surely you can appreciate that most of the world considers the American obsession with guns absurd :)

Most countries have strict gun laws and the people are fine with that. Banning 3D gun models is still stupid though, especially in a country with such high gun availability.
EDIT: Formatting is a bit whacked. I have two consecutive frames of a sonar image (same size) as the input, you will have to exchange those parts but I ran it fine. There are more parameters in the "DEFAULT_PARAMS" dict as I copied this from a much larger program. I work in greyscale so that might actually be a problem for genralization.

Many great open-source projects were build over evenings with just 2 or 3 hours per day.

Also it depends on type of work. Most people could work on CRUD websites for 16 hours a day. But some work require laser sharp concentration and drain daily energy in half hour.

And working tired is about as smart as driving drunk. What could possibly happen? :-)
Inner demons most likely.

Whatever it takes to build world class companies out of nothing, luck and timing is only one small part. The rest is what makes people like Jobs unhappy, or perhaps discontent for most of their lives.

One assumes the demons inside Allen and Woz quietened down and stop driving them on.

This of course sounds great till you look at Bill Gates and ask does be look any more unhappy than me? No he looks a lot happier

Bang goes that theory
There is some chance that these guys will be killed by guns of their own design. Possibly a cool attempt to get the Darwin award.
"I will ensure we stamp out and remove those things that we can't detect that can be made with off-the-shelf goods."

Uh huh.
Because people vote for them. People like politicians that say words like "common sense measures" and "ensure public safety" while taking away rights and freedoms. Who needs those rights and freedoms anyway? Think of the children!

If you think Bay Area people smarter in this regard that any other people, you have to only look up what politicians are doing with budgets, local regulations, pensions, public welfare, public transportation, etc. around Bay Area and you'd see that knowing tech is not the only area politicians are failing.
LinkedIn leaks privacy information through their "also viewed" section.

Applied to a new job and started working there, after a few months I decided to look up my managers LinkedIn profile, only to notice that on his page the "also viewed" section showed employees from my older company and family. So yeah, so now I know he was trying to figure out more about me through LinkedIn.
The depressed brain isn't a machine that broke that just needs a replacement part. The brain is a machine that in the course of its operation changes the way its made. Depression is a dark anti-pattern in which the brain begins to disassemble itself. What you think changes your brain and changes in your brain affect what you think.

The only way to "fix" it is to build again what is lost. Can a drug help? Sometimes, but building is long and hard. A depressed brain is like a house thats been neglected for 20 years. It needs lengthy remodeling, not a new paint job.

Right. I'm saying that I don't think laymen think about the analog hole; they just see that feature and assume that it actually does disappear.

Nope, my iPhone has told me when another iPhone user has saved a screenshot before. Unsure about Android/iPhone.
I think you forget that the payment systems are designed to tolerate failure and still work. For instance, you may be able to use your credit card at a store even if their phone line or internet connection breaks down.

So it's possible to scam the system, but the banks probably figure that they would lose more money in lost transaction fees by implementing a 100% secure, ACID-compliant 2-phase commit payment protocol, than by keeping the current best effort authorization + batch processing system in place.
For what? The application? The underlying OS? The vhdl for the CPU? What do you want to distrust first?
It is not. Nobody was threatened with this, nobody will ever be threatened with this. This thing is un-concealable and unusable as a real-life weapon in any public safety scenario. If you think anybody with this prototype can threaten public safety you are badly mistaken.

The idea that any time anything new happens the government should jump in and prohibit it until it is proven safe is exactly why politicians like this thrive. Instead, people should use their brains and let the government intervene only when actual threat is there, not theoretical lets-cover-our-asses invented threat is touted by politicians.

An important difference between a military operation and a surgical operation is that the patient is not tied down.

Have you noticed how in this scenarios the good guys always win?
I think the question to some extent is about the stage you sign an NDA. While it's perfectly normal to sign an NDA when you start a contract, I wouldn't sign one before initial conversations unless I strongly trusted the client, because without knowing the scope of the project you have _no idea_ what's going to be covered by the NDA and it may include things that cause you significant problems down the line.
I am sorry to say, but in this case, at least some people I know would refuse not because it's "old", but because it's PHP. They would joke about rather using COBOL than PHP, indeed.

(I count among them, and yes, I do remember enough to somehow get by in ISPF on IBM mainframe ;))
This is seriously great and very intuitive to use. Two small improvements : it would be great to be able to change brushes (at least size). The workaround is zoom/draw/unzoom which is a bit awkward. The second thing is to add an example on the landing page. I didn't take the time to try it on a picture of mine until I read the comments (and saw screenshots) here. HTH, keep up the good work!
What makes this different from the default yeoman webapp generator?
You don't, you find programmers who want to work with that technology instead. It's much easier to find someone who's goals align with your own rather than trying to convince someone that their goals are wrong.
The "Liberator" instructions describe printing the frame of the gun first and epoxying 6oz of steel inside it to make it detectable by a walk-through metal detector, to be compliant with The Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988. Once this part is complete, the rest of the firearm can be manufactured without violating that particular law.
China shopping, shopping in China，What to buy, where to buy

I'm guessing that one can carry it through the airport security easily enough. It's not that it's printed, it's the fact that it's printed in plastic.
I'm desperately trying to think of a way that will make this not sound like I'm hating on you, but there are other smart people in this world. While I respect PG immeasurably I really do hope HN hasn't gotten to a point where we can think enough to put into words that the CEO of one of the biggest web corporations has essentially based their new strategic plan off of the back of one of PG's essays!

I mean come on, MM has plenty of her own credentials, she was in at the ground floor of one of the greatest businesses of our generation (arguably) learning from her experiences and the people around her for over 10 years at what must have been one of the greatest rides.

But you know what, you might well be entirely correct, it just took me by surprise that the top comment wasn't about how great this new strategy of Yahoo's is (which I immediately thought) and how they're possibly starting to step into a new spotlight... but was instead about how the blueprint for this multi-billion dollar corporations new master plan was one of PG's essays.

I mean, don't get me wrong... I think the cult of PG would be a great one, we could get futuristic robes and .../sarcasm

Like I say, no hate intended. This is the top comment, someone had to say it
This also shows in how quick you can iterate. The "REPL time" in mechanical engineering has decreased a lot with CAD software but it's still insanely long compared to software development.

I used to work in a lab with a researcher who designed complex mechanical systems with lots of rotating parts made from rare and expensive materials. Everytime he needed even the slightest modification he had to wait for at least three months to have a new part machined.
You realize you just described the same process twice, only in different terms to appeal to different emotions?

It's not like 3d-printed gun does not require design, does not need materials, does not require assembly and is guaranteed to work.

And yes, controlling sale of basic chemicals on the premise that this somehow prevents criminals from using them for their nefarious goals is silly. The US government does it right now with drugs and it is failing spectacularly, only guys they make trouble to are amateur chemists that have nothing to do with drugs. Same will happen with guns.

25:17 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come
forth out of Egypt; 25:18 How he met thee by the way, and smote the
hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou
wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.

25:19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee

thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt

The first example includes cost of labour. The second example doesn't.

Two people playing with that cluster for a couple of hours cost more than $45.

Still, the author is right that when building physical products sometimes things are a lot more expensive than you think they're going to be because you're following some strict protocol.
Yeah, also when the suspect is taken into the police car, they ensure he doesn't bump his head on the roof, I've seen it. Doesn't change the fact he's taken into custody, though.
They also added VR mode if you opt into the SteamPipe beta.

I was amazed that nag.io was still available. I snatched it!
Have you been to any US airport recently? These guys grab my freaking nuts and touch me in places that usually only myself and my wife are allowed to access. And you say it'd be easy to get through them a piece of a size of a large brick without them noticing? Do you know what mayhem an explosive of a similar volume could create? Something does not add up here with your theory.
There seems to be a lot of assumption that the govt is somehow misunderstanding technology or the internet. I doubt they expect to prevent the distribution of those files, or that they even care about the printed gun - as others have said, it's not really anything new as there are existing ways to make one.

What they probably do care about is Cody Wilson trying to build up some sort of cult around 3d weapon printing. He's spent quite a bit of effort trying to provoke the government and prove he can't be stopped. Seems he was wrong.
Your front door has penetrated the sanctity of your home, and it's no longer a safe haven from the nasty harsh outside world because you leave it open all the time.

Internet doesn't penetrate anything. It's not like I plug my network cable in and my screen gets flooded with things I don't want to see or hear. It just displays a small popup saying "You're now connected".

Internet can actually be controlled much better than other technologies. Try stopping prank callers or abusive text messages. In your e-mail client it is just adding one simple rule and they all end up in my junk box.
Looks like my weekend is set, then.
That's great, assuming your kid is actually smart. What if he isn't? If he can pretend to be smart (and all the other things Ivy League schools look for), then his path through life will be much easier by going to a prestigious school.
The thing that interests me most about this is the potential for changing configuration on-the-fly to deal internal or external network conditions, or simply from additional information extracted from the metrics.

I don't know of any other realtime web service that has this capability.
You don't have to understand the design of the printed gun. You don't need to search materials apart from the big block of plastic to print and the percutor needle. The difficulty level is completely different.

And I didn't say that I'm for controlled sale of basic chemicals. I said that the idea of not controlling 3d-printer gun designs because "you can also make your gun at home" is silly.
> I was shocked, for example, when I learned that a certain social network gives universal profile access to employees as a perk. That would not happen at Google. If you looked at your high-school ex-girlfriend's email, you'd be fired immediately (and deserve it).

I worked for a social network that gave universal profile access for every employee, even a specific admin function to log in as any user, but it was never treated as a perk, but a tool to fix errors in their profiles and such. There was no explicit rule about using it for snooping and there was indeed a fair amount of it (more impersonal, "look at the (possibly private) photo of this user" than "let's see how's doing my ex-girlfriend"); however, the shadier uses of the tool were definitely not encouraged and I think someone got into trouble for doing things he wasn't supposed to. After all, they weren't stupid, they kept a log of such accesses.
It's pretty easy...stop caring about success!
So it's less stupid than something utterly stupid. Great.

And then people choose to base the core identity of their company/service on that. Needless to say, I wish them greatness.
