Facebook has since updated its design, and the padding is better balanced. My account got upgraded to the new design a month or so back. I assume they are rolling it out slowly.
The First Year …
There was a story here on HN about a dev who spent a week 'blind' to test his website accessibility. A few blind developers showed up in the thread, maybe try to contact them. (I tried to find the thread but couldn't, will update this if I do)

The problem is that this is happening everywhere, not just the US. Everything outside the main cities is becoming more and more worthless.

That will switch when oil becomes cheap again. Of course, that may never happen.
In Chinese traditional culture, to write poems or paint on places or buildings or something, is some kinda, honor(?). And more famous persons's writing or painting, more famous the place to be. Then, the words or paints became important components of the place. It looks not shame, or bad but some behavior of culture.

Even one place is known by few people or none, or landscape is not attracting, if some well-known person defaced, then it will be well-known and be attracting.

Chinese belief in that nature and culture should be harmony. Later travelers come to see not only how beautiful the place, but also the marks left by whom, and how the words and paintings effected people to evaluate the place.

Now, people think to do so is damage the place.. It's bad, people who did that will be punished.

My point is, anything illegal, should be punished or maybe then discussed. If not, should be discussed.
Yes, and this is a huge reason why older adults with families are more reluctant to do startups, compared to fresh-out-of-college 20-somethings who might not think they even need health insurance.

If you're willing to grant that "chug a Soylent" is as effective a solution as "learn a new dish", and is vastly preferable if learning to prepare and repeatedly preparing a new dish doesn't intrinsically interest me, I have no problem with that.
can you give a link to the walker mechanic you talked about? i've never played caesar 3, and googling didn't really turn up (with my 5 seconds of googling...)
Sending pictures to the police is not the same as disabling the whole system on the suspicion of illegal access. Especially that copyright trolls' opinion of which information belongs to them may be very different from anyone else's, to which we have seen a lot of evidence. So I wouldn't want to have my comp locked up because some media company decided it absolutely needs to install rootkit on my machine to watch some legit movie I paid for and later that rootkit thinks I've downloaded some files to which they hold copyright. I appreciate that they would like this power very much - as they probably would like the power to conduct searches without a warrant or imprison and fine people on mere suspicion, without tiresome process of trial. That would indeed make punishing criminals and fighting crime much easier. The only thing that prevents it is that people have rights, and I'd very much like to keep them, even if it inconveniences some companies a little. I'm not living for their convenience and at their pleasure, so they'd have to find some other ways to protect their interests.
i find it unlikely that an opensource game would have similar production value as a game funded by money.
Enjoyable read, but I question the bit near the end claiming that salts wouldn't help much against this kind of attack.

From my understanding, per-user salting does substantially slow down this kind of attack because it forces you to calculate a different hash for each user/plaintext combination rather than hashing a suspected plaintext once and comparing the hash against the whole list. What it doesn't slow down is the brute-force cracking of a single targeted hash.

Am I missing something there, or is the article wrong?
That's silly. If the 5th amendment isn't needed here then it is simply overkill. You still have the right to not incriminate oneself. They only way you are correct is if they offered a waiver of immunity for any confessed crimes. This is how they can compel you to speak in front of grand juries. For certain crimes, school officials are required to report them to the police.

This is a perfectly reasonable explanation that is often overlooked by designers. This also happens to be why I don't particularly love design anymore. What looks right and what converts the best are two different animals, and I don't like purposely creating ugly shit with my name on it.
I wish they had titled it... Game of Clones!
Food is generally sold on taste. The old basics of salt, fat and sugar are still going to be what keeps peopl coming back.

But marketing-wise, soylent has already proved itself very successful. It's invented a niche that didn't exist and converted consumers to having a "need" of which they were previously unaware.

That said, I suspect it'll be a niche market. What's more likely is that soylent will be added to other products. Milkshakes ... with soylent! Steak diane ... with soylent!

The classic example is how many obese people discount the calories of "healthy" foods. "Those fruit smoothies don't count, they're healthy". It's a substitution heuristic.
It comes down to manners, something that seem to be lacking all over the world. I've had to prompt parents to stop their kids from touching (more like pawing) artwork in museums and crawling all over historical sites, and the parents look at me like I'm an alien. It's all about them and their precious little snowflake, rather than appreciating the art or history.

You can see it in the parents' apologia for their son's atrocious behavior, focused on how their son is a "good student" which has nothing to do with anything.

>>They also confessed that they had not been watching their son while on tour in Egypt

How long did it take him to carve the characters. Was he really unsupervised that long???

Keep in mind also this kid and his family are very fortunate to be able to travel overseas and see these priceless treasures, especially considering how poor most of his countrymen still are.
> Where's the creativity?!
i suspect its poured into the indie scene. If i had an idea that's really original/innovative, i would try to expoit it commercially, and not make an open source project. These open source projects are there for other reason other than commercial, and therefore, unlikely to have the type of innovative ideas you seek.
It is interesting is that an early study on the health impact of activity compared bus drivers and bus conductors, who also differ in sitting/standing:

Yes, definitely not Vancouver. Any house here is $1M starting even if it's small and crappy. An apartment with 700 square feet or so will set you back $400k.

On top of that, there isn't really a tech scene here. Many small startups, but mostly ones you don't really hear about. A few large companies are here, but with fairly small offices.
True. I hope crowdfunding will help change that.

This is often a result of designers failing to step outside their "designer window", if you will, and step into the users' shoes. It's possible to make something look right and translate that into conversions if you have enough of an outside perspective.

That said, it's pretty easy to get too involved in your own work to notice a bigger picture so breaks to step back are highly recommended.
A lot of people (have and will) scoff at the idea 3 whole pixels? And I agree it does seem trivial, and will those 3 pixels really change the way users interact and make users happier? Who knows. I know as a designer it does indeed look better when it's visually balanced, but all that aside, I am a huge fan of craftsmanship and attention to detail in ones craft. More so with crafts made by hand (wood, metal, glass) but also it translates over into design and programming.

As a designer I want to put love and attention into all my designs and I want each one to be better than the last as to always be improving. Those three pixels may not mean much to you, or most, but it's those types of things that when you pull out the magnifying glass or really admire a piece of art, that really matter. A lot of times I fail personally at making sure each detail is right, but I would hope that someone could one day look at my work and say he really paid attention to the details and he wasn't just rushing or not caring about the projects he did.

So I think it's less of wow is this really worth all the fuss over 3 pixels but more of a testament to how Facebook values the details in design. Sure Facebook has design that's decently pleasing to the eyes, but you have to wonder why this went unnoticed. If it was me coding the feed, I would've caught it and fixed but I wonder whoever was doing the coding actually stopped to think about it or tried to fix it and got shot down or whatever reason it could have been. It could've been an honest mistake, or a purposeful one, or just someone trying to meet a deadline.

To send a note out to everyone for a thought to think about, really try to put some sort of personal attention to the details when you're working. Whether it's programing or designing, you may not think opening up your code editor and finding the right line in the CSS to fix those 3 pixels is worth it, but someone one day might see that and have to wonder why and if you care about the quality of your work and the image your putting on your brand, I would take it personally to make sure it was perfect. I think this goes a long way with moving up and getting noticed. Anyone could skip it and it's not the end of the world, but finding people that care enough to put such attention and detail in their work to make sure everything is perfect are the kinds of people that are worth having on your team.
Nobody dings developers for generating random numbers because they're "doing crypto".
Got a nice digital piano, started playing vigorously on it. All problems went away.
The reason I'm arguing is that, clearly, I don't think that soylent is a better choice than learning a new dish.
> You still have the right to not incriminate oneself.

No, you have the right not to testify information that would incriminate you in a proceeding. It's a narrower right than you're making it out to be.
I think the reason the movies make it look "very measured and deliberate" is that the operators are the best of the best. They're so good in fact, that they never make mistakes.

Of course, this ignores that the point of a movie is to distill actual events down to their essence to convey an emotion, which isn't really what "click[ing] about a lot until we get what we want" is about.

TL;DR: smoothness is a property of movies, not a failing of humans or our software. I like the BladeRunner interface though.
While I'm sure the survey was (probably) administered with the best of intentions, it was poorly anonymized and thus both risky and completely invalid.

there must be some sort of proceeding of a disciplinary nature.

Well, if a student tells school officials he's been breaking the law, that could trigger a "proceeding of a disciplinary nature", couldn't it? I believe there is case law on this sort of thing.
Wow, "The National Bureau of Asian Research", really?

If guys using vanilla hardware get that kind of success in 1 hour with MD5, you only need to increase hardware and the time required to see it's still completely doable for other hash functions.

One of the reasons that NYC and its suburbs have a higher cost of living than upstate New York is because they have higher county taxes. They have higher county taxes because each county has to pay for it's own Medicaid. The larger counties have more poor people in them. New York State is notorious for having horribly inefficient Medicaid system.

Also, just because the U.S birth rate is declining doesn't mean that it will eventually have a negative growth rate. The U.S population is still growing, but just not as rapidly.

There are countries that are experiencing negative growth rates right now; Russia is one of them.
Per the CSS, the margin of the status text element is 5px on the top and bottom.

The margin on the "Like/Comment/Share" and Comment boxes is also 5px total. (Comment box is margin 1px, padding 4px)

Maybe it's symmetry of a different sort?
Taxes in Upstate NY are going to be high. But keep in mind that central and western NY are depressing places. The place peakedin the 50's with industrial, rilroad and defense industries that are long gone. The city of Buffalo demolishes 2 houses a day. It was a city of 600,000, now down to 250,000.

A nice $50k house in Schenectady, NY (former industrial city 3 hours from NYC) has $5000/year taxes. The house is worth 10x the Jamestown house because of the proximity to state government (150k jobs).

If you want to live in the country, lots of cheap houses in rural towns <2 hours from NYC.
The teacher was absolutely correct to warn these kids, and it's absurd that the district would to try to punish him over it. No good things can come from answering questions like this on a personally identifiable survey. The school even stated that the intent was to identify and help at-risk students - meaning the information was going to be reviewed, discussed by and disclosed to staff, put in the students' files, and acted upon. There is absolutely nothing that would stop this survey from making it to college admissions offices, law enforcement, parents, etc.

The fact that the district wouldn't have instructed all teachers to notify students of the potential ramifications of answering such questions is a big problem. If any of the data later has a negative impact on someone's child, the district may have some legal liability. This teacher should actually be rewarded potentially shielding the district from a lawsuit.
It's happening to me too. Every day something looks broken (read different). The Facebook logo was not centered before the graph search for a couple of days, the height of the chat box was changed and same goes for the padding.
All I hope for them is to remove (or shift) the video chat button. I've had lots of accidental clicks on it.

Right next to the hashed passwords. The point of salting isn't to add an additional level of secrecy, it's just to prevent the reuse of hashing work for attacking other users.

A difficult proposition when you considered that millions of dollars are poured into proprietary games. Open-source games do not make any significant money, and therefore can not afford to pay artists to spend a lot of time on their product.
He has a point that many interface designers will appreciate and others rankle at as nit-picking.

But I was struck by the irony of this particular observation being made via a blog that uses a body typeface with ever-so-slightly but definitely too-narrow tracking (letter spacing). Or maybe the kerning data is off. I would have it loosening by about 1/200em overall, with the most noticeable improvement becoming apparent on adjacent vertical strokes.

EDIT: the samples of this face, "Oxygen", that I see at the creator's site (Vernon Adams) don't suffer from the same issue so perhaps something has gone awry in the conversion to WOFF.

Use of the privilege is not based on the type of proceeding (ie, it applies to more than just criminal cases), but upon the nature of the statement or admission and the exposure that would invite. Precedent has shown self-incrimination is enforceable in non-disciplinary public school "proceedings".

If the students were "coerced" or "compelled" to take a survey that may self-incriminate them, then it could probably be shown the privilege did apply.
Show HN: Increase ye WPM with TMS
"In this study, the effect of the transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on the continuous voluntary movement of the finger was investigated. We measured the trajectory of the thumb tip and electromyogram (EMG) of the hand and forearm muscles after the TMS of the primary motor cortex area (M1) during continuous voluntary rotation of the thumb. The results showed that the velocity of the thumb tip was accelerated right after the TMS followed by the deceleration. It was indicated that enhance and suppression of the muscle activity by the TMS resulted in the change of the finger velocity in the voluntary movement."

You have come across various blog postings cataloging experiment involving the insertion of magnets under the skin of the fingers, for enhanced magnetic touch. Body hacking abounds.

We're all waiting for tDCS, etc. But watch: http://www.lenoxhilltms.com/

And I had to double take during that introductory video when they discussed verifying proper placement of magnets over the prefrontal cortex, regarding their thumb test.

I'm in vim and on http://typing.tk. Call TMS quackery all you want if you want. Of course this is anecdotal, but I have no conceptual framework to describe this other than "cog hacking."

With hardware store magnets. Even now my teeth and jaws tingle. All of the side effects of TMS, and +2 Dexterity.

I wonder how one teaches people who don't know better.

In India, there is a place called hampi which is near a village called hospet. It is one of the worlds most ancient and spectacular ruins. There is also literally pigs and sewer everywhere.

For a more popular example take taj mahal. Agra is dirty like hell and words cannot describe the sanitation situation there. The taj mahal doesn't need help to look awesome but with a background of a stinking river and a filthy city, it looks like a diamond in shit.

Actually why tourist places. Are you guys aware that Indian railways encourages defecating in the open? Yes sir visit any train station in India and you will see fresh human faeces on the tracks. All toilets of the train open up straight into the ground.

All this to say that in countries like India people cannot take care of their own land forget other people s land.
Are these daft? "Cognition was the first to go [after going off soylent]. Patience shortened, attention dulled, curiosity waned. Socializing was more taxing, my inbox more foreboding. The physical effects took another few days. It was harder to wake up, the gym seemed much less inviting, and I gained a few pounds."

The efficiency is just one benefit of quite a few, many significant.

Isn't it strange to say that it was then legal when the law is US only and is about export, not about what happens once it is exported?
In the code mode, you can change the saturation with the mousewheel. For some reason, it changes the lightness in scheme mode. I'm not sure if it's intentional or a bug.
I'm not a lawyer but I suspect locking somebody's computer up does violate the laws, as it is an unauthorized access to a computer system and a property damage.

>>> that's as crazy as it gets.

Not really. If you read recommendations on page 81, it does not explicitly endorses, but consistently hints at the law as inadequate in areas where it prohibits discussed offensive techniques. See "second" and "finally" parts where it does not explicitly says the mentioned tactics should be allowed but again strongly hints the changes in the law should be made, and implies allowing such methods are those changes.
Well, then these types of comments are coming from both the East and the West, and it would be unfair to say that the comments from the West stem from a desire to hate a "faceless other" while the ones from the East are more legitimate somehow. The overboard comments from both sides are uncalled for.
It's always tricky to adjust the padding/margin values because you need to take into account each case in which these 3 added pixels will have an impact. Maybe the style applied to this particular box is shared with other elements or maybe this box is used in other contexts where 3 pixels more will look odd. And I guess that for a website as dense as Facebook, it's easy to try to adjust something while breaking something else.

On a side note, whenever I set the margins of adjacent elements, I take some time to wonder if I'll put a margin-bottom on the 1st element or a margin-top on the 2nd one, or put both margin-top and bottom on the middle element and none on the 1st and 3rd. My rule of thumb ends up being the following one: use only one margin (top or bottom) on all adjacent elements, because some of them might disappear on some pages, so I need to provide some kind of flexibility in order to maintain a decent spacing for each and every scenario.
The school is also trying to teach students a valuable civics lesson: your rights are minimal and the principle function of the state is the furtherance of the careers of the bureaucrats who compose the state. Anything that inconveniences them will be met with all the power they can muster.

If that's about the nutritional content of Soylent specifically, I misunderstood and agree with you, pending further evidence, because I want something I can be sure is healthy. Since that's precisely the same thing the G^nP you originally responded to said, I hope you can understand why I thought your critique was intended to engage with the concept of meal replacement in general.

But if that is the case, the reason I'm having trouble with your metaphor is I don't see how it doesn't make it abundantly clear to you that what we're arguing about is just a difference of taste between us.
Unfortunately in the general case that's not information PyPI will know.
How to hire good people instead of nice people
But doesn't this render the process useless? If an attacker gets access to the hashes, he also gets access to the salts.

If both hashes and salts were isolated, I suppose it would be much more secure, although maybe too slow.
