Yeah, that's pretty much how it works. The frontend is anything that supports PostgreSQL as a database. Right now we use Tableau but we also used to have a custom WebUI on top of this service, it was very functional-inspired.

I believe they can be used in isolation, because by suppressing/slowing the oxidative metabolism of synaptic neurotransmitters, they can be used to compensate for low baseline levels by extending their active lifespan.

The main reason they're not used is that better & more selective releasing agent/reuptake inhibitors exist, and MAOIs have potentially fatal interactions with a huge variety of different substances (including some cheeses, if memory serves)

We're definitely in agreement that MAOIs have a strong effect on the (heightened) levels of synaptic neurotransmitters (released by some nicotinic upstream signalling), giving a synergistic effect.
Yes, I am fine with random people coming into my apartment building into other people's apartments, so long as they don't get a key to my apartment.
Its possible I've missed something? I don't have time to read all the papers you cite, but from titles/abstracts they all appear to be talking about the effects of MAOIs. If there are separate substances in play I've somehow managed to read your article and completely miss any mention of them.
One of the best ways to get people to support optional typing in dynamic languages is to make sure their tools can read those types and provide metadata.

Program verification is cool, but enabling "intellisense" on a hash is even cooler.
"Corey Ladd had prior drug convictions and his sentencing mentioned him as a "multiple offender,""

Slightly OT, but this article is a good example of why I respect Al Jazeera. The first section of the second sentence spells out exactly what the first objection to the headline might be, it doesn't try to bury this somewhere deep down in the article. Normally this sort of article would get lots of "This is so misleading" comments which do a disservice to the point.

The relationship is that they are taking an underutilized resource (trucks) and increasing utilization through their network much like Uber is filling cars.

The current "our business model" section in the letter is confusing and I think the letter should be more up front about what their value proposition is. I had to read their "nosotros" page to figure it out:

More than 25% of trucks in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina travel empty every week leaving behind potential profits of $4.5B dollars. Our technology puts people with cargo in contact with transporters, so the transporter never travels empty,...

It appears they are filling empty trucks which I find similar to "empty leg flights" which are sold by private jet operators.

I'm confused. This petition talks about cross-domain fonts, but it links to http://bugzil.la/475891 which has nothing to do with cross-domain issues. (It's about using different fonts for different Unicode characters.) Did you mean to link to http://bugzil.la/604421 instead?

Note that IE also applies same-origin restrictions to web fonts, and in fact this is required by the CSS Fonts standard [1], although this has been a somewhat contentious part of the spec [2]. The Blink team has discussed implementing this part of the spec too; Google's Tab Atkins believes that any new resource linking mechanism added to the web platform should be subject to same-origin restrictions by default [3] because this gives the platform better security characteristics.

The publisher of a web font can enable cross-origin use in all browsers by sending CORS headers [4].

as a supporting piece of anec-data I worked for an education startup in the uk - and we had to support IE 6 (six) as upwards of 50% of our userbase of high schools had locked in contracts with suppliers like RIM (not blackberry) and could not upgrade without incurring costs - which meant it did not happen.
Ugh. I read Aljazeera English fairly regularly a year ago, before Aljazeera America existed. I appreciated the solid-yet-concise reporting, the fact that there was little enough news that I could kind of read it all, and the fact that it wasn't as America-centric as I'm used to (nice change of perspective).

And now that they're trying to break into the US market, I see a page filled with tweets? I really hope that they don't think adopting CNN's "we'll just read a ton of tweets on air" strategy (which is what finally lead me to swear off CNN entirely) is how to win the US market. I was looking forward to them providing something a little more serious, kind of like NPR.

This thread made me nostalgic.

I live in Brazil. I remember when I went to the local university in order to grab a 40+ diskette copy of slackware. A few months later I subscribed to a CDROM compilation (can't recall the name, something like imagemagic) that would mail me a 6 CD case containing many of the early distros every couple months - back in the day downloading it was too expensive (things improved a lot but telecommunications here are still very expensive compared to EUA).
It absolutely solves the problem. Unfortunately, the problem is how to make sure the prison and police industry is well-funded by tax dollars.

I've worked in Infosec for over 4 years and have been on both sides of the interview process. I have only a few high level pointers.

1. If you are passionate, show it. If you want to work in the security industry you have to really nerd out on this stuff and not treat it like a day job that "pays the bills".

2. Don't BS about technical answers. If you don't know the answer to something, that is OK. A good interviewer would rather you walk them through the steps you would take to find the answer than completely make one up. Big no-no.

3. I don't know what position you are applying for but you should be expected to know some basics about attack vectors, defenses, security strategies, and general computing. Brush up on your scripting skills while you are at it. Python is my language of choice. Bash scripting is also highly desired.

4. Don't regurgitate a list of tools you know. Pick a few that you have used and explain how you used them..anyone can run an Nmap scan but what do the results mean?

5. Be friendly and approachable. This goes with any job interview but just a reminder.

6. Don't stress it too much. It's impossible to anticipate every little detail of every question that will be asked. Be yourself and most of all, be curious.

Hope this helps! Feel free to PM me with specifics and GOOD LUCK! Hope too see ya at the next con.

Exactly. It gives you a lot of control over the smoking experience, where the prepackaged ones don't. I was a heavy smoker and enjoyed really bad (cheap) cigarettes; with the eGO cig you can really create a terrible smoking setup if you so desire, which is exactly what I needed quit :)
Never smoked, but for people who have smoked and quit- Would short term stimulant usage (eg Adderall) for a few weeks have helped quit smoking?

It seems possible that stimulant medication could prevent common symptoms like weight gain, problems concentrating, and help ignore physical cravings for the first two or three weeks of quitting smoking.

Edit: sorry, somewhat off-topic.
There are plenty of companies in the space. A quick browse on AngelList can give you a good idea of what's out there.

It would be great if they could fix their customer service, and their false level 2 account verification status, that still flags the information you provide as false. That status is what makes it 'instant', but you cannot even achieve it with valid info.

Then they have the audacity to send you the same email signed by different support staff members. Coinbase is garbage and it's only running because they're the only competitors who have not burned their house down. I'm waiting for improvement, or a valid competitor so I can be on to the next one.
My answer is Customer Validation. This is essentially what a Landing Page does, but I prefer a more personal approach. Before I begin building something I personally pitch at least 30 potential customers (excluding my network of friends/peers), and then follow up with a few questions. Consumer facing ideas are usually easier for me to validate than Enterprise or Business facing ideas, simply because it's easier to round up Consumers. What I'm basically doing is getting a feel for how people react to the idea (positive / negative). The follow up questions help me determine if I missed something and/or how valuable the idea might be. A successful validation usually results in positive feedback that I can document. A very successful validation results in actual customers, or people willing to pay for it on the spot (which HAS happened). This is something I continue to do while the Product is being built, and even after the Product is released.

There's no fundamental reason this has to be the case, of course; if the developer wanted to, they could use stick input as position rather than velocity. Conceptually, this is no different than using a high resolution trackball.

There's actually a really nifty app, whose name escapes me at the moment, that does this for virtually any linux program (not just python).

It was a wrapper that calls your program, figures out the actual runtime dependencies and essentially creates an image of the all necessary components and bundles it up.

Perhaps the shortest SF story worth reading...

There's also some other "big scale" SF like Greg Egan's Diaspora or Olaf Stapledon's Star Maker that might qualify. Egan's book ends up with the main character having run through trillions of AI simulations in new universes, including higher dimensional ones.

Stapledon's book is the story of the entire universe combining into one intelligence to attempt to contact God. The book was written long before computers, so it might not qualify as AI.

Aljazeera America is decidedly not Aljazeera English, but rather an intentionally dumbed down news station to "fit into the US cable news market." I love journalism, Al Jazeera is fantastic compared to most of the garbage consumed in the US, but what is happening is truly a tragedy.

A one paragraph description of a story with a Storify embed of a bunch of random reactions is also not journalism (unless the tweets have something interesting, unique or important to say).

You're totally wrong. For one thing, PHP coerces WAY too much for any type system to be effective. That's just plain duck typing.

> Are you okay if 50% of the units in your apartment and apartments across the city were used for this purpose?

Yes. I fundamentally don't want a gated community.

> Are you fine with the rent increase you will incur because of the demand for units from folks who want to make a profit and can afford to pay much higher rent than someone like you?

I'm not convinced your premise is correct. But I'll roll with the punches.
Oh right, a hash map. That would be very cool, and probably feasible to implement.
MiCarga cofounder here.

Thanks for the feedback, and from a first read of what we do, yes. You are spot on.

We believe we can make use of a severely underutilized pool of resources (empty trucks) in developing countries, some of it as a result of a huge industry that has transformed very quickly to adjust to the organic growth, as well as to other factors like free trade agreements that have escalated the need for transportation companies to be much more competitive in a global landscape.

The same challenges apply to the cargo generators, which have relayed on excel sheets or custom tools to manage their logistics, but that are constantly struggling to find the right solution to manage their specific needs.

I won't bore you with details, but logistics is much more than just putting cargo on a truck (think of security, insurance, satellite tracking, etc...), and we are integrating several services to simplify this for our customers.

As another HNer kindly pointed out to me, the rule requiring the filing of a Form D 15 days before any general solicitation is, at this point, still just a proposal.

But based on what we're seeing here, it does appear that at least some of the companies already engaging in general solicitation don't even know that they'll need to file a Form D if they're successful in raising funds.

I managed to totally miss the claim that Typed Clojure uses ideas from PHP :/ I'm pretty sure there is no relation.
You crunch data on the backend in C. Output the results in HTML. Sounds good to me. We all use PHP, Ruby, or Python for the back end. I see nothing wrong with using C if you're good at it - well written C is faster.
Is there a difference between the two? I assumed that without the "with", the file would still be closed once the loop was exited (and thus the reference to the file is dropped), but I'm open to the possibility that I'm mistaken.
Maybe C++ written against other compilers... I never had any problems working on (large-ish, not huge) C++ code bases written against g++ (and making good use of definitively C++ features like templates).

>This allows compiling if statements and similar without requiring branching. Intended to increase performance, it must have been causing more trouble than it was worth, as ARM64 eliminates conditional execution.

Probably because so many projects use Thumb (the default for iOS projects in XCode, for example) which doesn't include most instructions for conditional execution. From what I can tell, it also sounds like compilers weren't making very effective use of those instructions anyway.

Also, these were originally meant to compensate for a lack of branch prediction, which as I understand it, has changed drastically in recent years.
