One suspects that sometimes it's the PR people doing their thing, but that's a dangerous path to walk. If you just got caught with your pants down over a security flaw, following up by demonstrating both that you didn't really understand what was going on even after the flaw was discovered and that you were willing to try to cover it up is strikes two and three in one neat package.
This was actually the "book" that my Discrete Math class used. It is nice because it is straight to the point but also often seems to skip some important explanations or further discussion on some topics.

I would say it is a good reference guide but definitely needs to be used in conjunction with other texts.
False, the meaning of the like button has historically changed over time. It had nothing to do with brands and advertising when it launched.
And? He was paraphrasing what he'd like to see, not drafting legislation verbatim.
No, there's just not that many true instances of the is_a relationship outside of shapes. Reuse is often better achieved via composition rather than complex up-and-then-down-again virtual call chains.
I signed up for a new number with Obivoice (unrelated to ObiHai), reconfigured my Obi to use Obivoice, then setup Google Voice to forward to the new number. Obivoice had a special if you signed up for two years of service for $60.

Obi also just announced Anveo as their preferred provider to replace Google Voice.

I really don't understand what Google's plan for GV is. I wish they'd just charge for it already.
Yes, she intends to put the information of Eu citizens under Eu citizen's spy agencies.

That's what we call sovvereignity. And that is the problem with the NSA.
Using a web proxy is going to trigger even more alarms, not fewer.
This is the huge problem. I've worked in offices with people who were obsessed with pulling 12 hour days, and it soon became an expectation. Even 10 hour days.

I work 8 hour days and get all my shit done, everything. If I worked 10 hour days, I'd probably get a little more done at the beginning but then my productivity would plummet and then I'd just become resentful of it.
Neat AI approach to play it. When this first blew up 5 or so days ago I threw together a simple javascript bookmarklet that played the game at: http://www.mrspeaker.net/dev/game/flappy/

It's really poorly formatted and has unused code in it but it was fun to automate and watch. http://pastebin.com/yTmdWgfC

To use it just install the bookmarklet, click on it and then start the game. Press space to make it die.
Having one characteristic of a police state marginally met in a single instance does not mean sufficient characteristics are met most of the time.

I can guarantee you, living in San Francisco and having lived in actual police states, the US is not a police state and you do a disservice to those in Egypt or North Korea by suggesting so
In California the highest marginal total income tax rate is 56.7%. While this is for incomes over a million dollars, if you make around $100,000, you face a marginal tax rate of 52.6%.

I'm sure there are places with even higher marginal taxes but these don't seem low.

BTW - What is really fucked up is the way very poor people face the very highest marginal tax rates due to means testing of various programs (often over 100%) but that's another story.
AWS is never the cheapest option. AWS is great when you're quickly scaling up and down, but the flexibility comes at a (high) cost.

For backups, you're dealing with a relatively consistent or predictable amount of data. Buy the appropriate dedicated server for your needs.
My "goto" for shell scripts is http://echoip.org/, though I recently setup my own such script as well. It's a one-liner in PHP, though having some json output alternatives would be useful as well.
If most of you 60hrs/weekers would work just 6hrs/week, the world would hardly notice. And some people need to be paid more to work less, so they can inflict less damage. It is sad to see so many proud slaves in this industry.
Exactly. I keep adding interesting people, some famous and some not famous, and it makes my feed that much more worthwhile. That said, I don't go there every day, more like every few days when I'm bored or want to post something of my own.

And kudos on the huge following. I have a couple hundred followers and I'm following a couple hundred people at this point.

Well, how does it look when Merkel is talking about the internet.

Germany has a project called DE-Mail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De-Mail

It's a kind of E-Mail service to improve Data-Protection and get legally binding electronic communication. So far so good.

But how is this done, and what are the impacts.
At first E-Mail got a price tag.
Second, there is no End-To-End-Encryption.
Third, you're legally bound if they say this mail arrived, no matter if you even noticed or read.
4th there are public companies involved, able to read high sensitive data sent by DE-Mail, because there is no End-to-End communication. This companies are also able, but not allowed, to send legally binding mails in your name. How could you prove, you didn't sent?

This is the context, when German politicians talk about the internet. They have no clue.
This is a very good course to take as an intro to advanced mathematics. There is also usually an Intro to Adv Math in most undergrad programs. I've taken both at the same time, and they have lots of overlap. I've found both to be TREMENDOUSLY helpful in approaching proof laden courses like analysis and abstract algebra. It really helped me understand things I had problems with in linear algebra--which I dropped out of because I didn't take discrete or intro to adv math.

Highly recommend anyone interested in higher maths to take this class.
Rosen's number theory book was pretty good, maybe it's just you? Shit takes a lot of work.
While there is free healthcare in Poland, 65% of people go private and also the life expectancy in Poland is 4 years less than the UK.
Kickstarter Website Hacked – Customer Data Compromised
I do the same with btrfs. I actually tried bup first, but had a series of problems (see mailing list) and switched to btrfs snapshots. My main disk is also btrfs so I send incremental snapshots ("btrfs send -p"; faster than rsync and I can keep using the machine without making the backed-up state inconsistent), but the rsync method is fine for other source file systems.
It does seem inelegant that I can't seem to avoid having two sessions: Persona's and whatever I have for my site. I'm not sure how the two ought to be combined, or even if the Persona session is necessary. I guess maybe Persona can just confirm the email association whenever the site requires it and just stay out of the loop otherwise.
It doesn't need to exclude UK membership. It needs to allow all traffic between points elsewhere in Europe to bypass UK networks, and ideally to allow all traffic from other places in Europe to elsewhere to bypass the UK.

And contracts are not forever.

Yes, a thousand times!

A title exists in a context. The context of the original medium is completely different than a list of articles on HN. For instance, people who subscribe to an author's blog typically know the author's voice and typical subject matter, whereas people who see a title in a long list of possibly interesting content pieces do not have that context, so the original title does not communicate to those what the author was intending to communicate.

There must be a better solution than blindly reverting every title.
The language people use (general statement rather than directed at you specifically) is almost like talking to an addict. If people just stopped giving them data it would almost totally stop the flow to Facebook specific to them. Yes people post images with me in them occasionally, but that is about it. I haven't even had one of the requests to join in years.
This is it, folks. The clock is ticking.

I just hope than when they finally get around to "garbage-collecting" the human species, that they at least give us the option of a dignified cremation (in exchange for an appropriate payment in either resources or knowledge transfer).
Have you considered submitting the usernames (email addresses) to Have I Been Pwned? https://haveibeenpwned.com/
So was the actual utility from all those "$10 items" zero? I've spent more than $1400 on "needless" food in a year but I feel as if I've gotten a fair amount of value from it. I'm sure I would not trade all those meals for half of the price of a great laptop.

Anyways, I think Comcast is getting at that they throw in Internet or TV for "free" with triple-play combos, so you literally aren't saving anything. In some cases, you actually pay more (for a limited time?) to decline services.
Punishment is lack of progress; the longer they are stuck more people will want to progress, and those who oppose it will be a minority.

They almost made it over the "bridge" a couple of times, they were two steps away from a safe location once.
Its even easier to fool yourself into thinking you can't handle things that actually can handle.

I don't know if that's true or not. It's probably too vague to be even true or false.

But it also seems like a dangerous sort of symmetry to invoke because the consequences of going beyond your capacities tend to be a lot worse than the consequences of not quite reaching them. I recall you as fitness person from other discussion - what's worse, not stretching as much as your tendons allow or stretching more than your tendons allow?

In the case of work, as noted by the people here mentioning studies, most people can push themselves for short periods. But that pushing is definitely going involving learning to ignore tiredness and such. But you take that skill and use it ignore your constant tiredness, you can get to a really bad place after a while.

In other words, I disagree with any contention that a person's body provides a magic signal that distinguishes between "hard but you can handle it" and "too much for you, you must stop or suffer bad consequences". The degree to which people do harm themselves today shows this.
scriptSig (the second part of the script) contains the signature - it can't sign itself, but you can add other opcodes to it and that allows malleability.
holy shit you sound like a crack addict

(only with flappy bird) - they say it's addictive but you're taking this to another level. "Man I need to do a Lego Mindstorms robot with a webcam and stylus and OpenCV - I've gotten to 194 but I NEED more. I need to take the human element out of this equation...."
They might all make a fraction of their income, but wouldn't it still be a lot even without government? I keep thinking about medical doctors: if licensing laws wouldn't exist, wouldn't they still be in high demand and scarce? For an analogy, we can look at the market for programmers, which is practically unregulated: because of high demand and naturally restricted supply (it takes talent and education to become a good programmer), they command a high salary (assuming that the labor market for programmers right now is a free one, which I think is mostly the case). Wouldn't a doctor working in a free market also make a six figures salary?
Note to Kickstarter: It is not good UX to ask for the new password, and then the old password.

That is at least debatable. It might be a good idea to warn users that this will happen, if it's not immediately obvious from the form layout, but reauthenticating at the end of a lengthy or multi-step process is often a sensible precaution. Every system I use where security really matters (transferring significant amounts of money to another party from my bank account, filing statutory tax returns, etc.) does this.

(This isn't to say that a process for resetting a password that required the old one three different times would be sensible. But I don't accept your general-looking claim that it's bad UX to ask for the old password after the new one.)
So when I have a problem with Amazon, I now contact a third party to sort out my billing? Or when I dispute something with Hulu, my Netflix account breaks?

Anyways, I don't think I've ever received a "bill" from any of them. My CC gets charged and that's that. As far as that goes, a central service already exists: Amazon Payments, PayPal, etc.
This is nice but not quite right, it only works when overwriting the constructor. Every object in Javascript as a constructor property defined

var a = {}; a.constructor
// display function Object() { [native code] }

Therefore the test on `properties.constructor` doesn't work to extend objects without overwriting the constructor e.g.

var MyString = augment(String, {});
var myString = new MyString;
myString
// display Object {}
myString.length
// display undefined

To solve this you need to test if the constructor is not the default one i.e.

var obj = {};
var child = properties && properties.constructor && properties.constructor !== obj.constructor ? properties.constructor : function() {
return parent.apply(this, arguments);
};

Now you can extend objects without providing a new constructor:

var MyString = augment(String, {});
var myString = new MyString;
myString
// display child {constructor: function}
myString.length
// display 0

Nice little utility other than that.
> What is extremely false? This was said at British parliament. To quote Cameron: "people had to dring from flower vase, not to die of thirst". There are thousands of deaths because of basic neglect.

That is not a direct quote, as I said there are flaws with the NHS but I dispute that there are thousands of deaths because of basic neglect. Feel free to provide data to backup your claims.

> As for my personal experience. I only wanted rentgen to see if my hand is broken. I could not just 'walk in' and buy a service, I would had to go through GP referral than booking specialist appointment and finally week latter have xray.

> The Emergency Room is used by everyone who needs prescription for flu, so I had to wait 6 hours in bloody line full of coughing people. I should have probably just walk in front of the hospital and call myself ambulance from parking lot.

You went to accident and emergency at a busy time and were treated based on the severity/priority of your injury/illness. I'm sorry you couldn't just buy your way to the front of the queue but that is a feature of the NHS.

> The healtcare is not free, as visitor from other EU country, my insurance company has to pay. Also local cresidents pay higher taxes. Sure there is no lawyer overhead, but that will only impress someone from US.

That is why I said 'free at the point of use'

> As for waiting for non-essential operations, you probably meant non-life threating. Some procedures solve crippling pain, but are rated non-essential.

No I meant non-essential, how fast you are treated is based on how urgently you need treatment.

> And on top of that you can not choose hospital where you will go. Some hospitals are better, some are really bad. Obviously the elite lives in areas with better hospitals.

Actually yes you can choose where you go. Of course some hospitals are better than others, that is true in every country in the world.

> The story about baby was in national Slovak news, and forced embassy to step in. I am too lazy to look for english translation, but there are other similar cases. The time line in this case is this:

Once again I would like to see some proof that this story ever happened.

> Embassy even recommends to avoid giving birth in UK, since you could say something stupid, which would be held against you.

Really, which embassy? Please point me to where they recommend that you avoid giving birth in the UK.

You obviously have an issue with the NHS and I am more than happy to admit it is far from perfect however I would appreciate if you're going to criticise it you do so based on facts not fairy stories.
Don't load up on too many classes. Seriously, nobody will be impressed.

Do make sure you get a good GPA. Find an internship at all cost and go to job fair.

Major in the right subject. This is very important. I made this mistake and it was too late to undo.

Don't drive drunk.

Seriously, don't take too many classes and brag about it like some of my friends. Nobody cares. The only reason when it would be acceptable is money issues.

Download all your books on libgen. Those cutthroat book publisher won't get a penny from me.

Get the easy professor and explore the subject on your own and drop into the hard professor's lecture so you can learn more. Don't let your ego get in the way. GPA and internship, just remember. Be smart about exams and pay attention to what might be on there. Again don't let your ego get in the way or you'll be destroyed in upper science and engineering classes.

Make good friends, it doesn't matter if they're not well connected.

Last but not least, be careful of women. I know friends who were on the brink of suicide because their gf cheated. This is not the place to give dating advice but I will just say, be careful of who you love or like.

My social skills got much better because of college and parties. In high school, I was basically a shut-in that spend all day reading about chemistry.

If there is one thing that I regret, it's that it took me too long to learn to be social like normal people. Basically not until junior year.

Normal people don't usually talk about deeply technical subjects and it's best not to show off or avoid hanging out with them, just because.

There are no version numbers in those benchmarks, nor any way to reproduce them. So take them with a few grains of salt.

In particular, how old was the version of git they were testing with? Were they using SSDs?
No, Facebook didn't crush Upworthy's traffic
To me as long as you have only a few physical cables, or a few places to put the cables that are difficult to get to, buried in the ground, companies are going to take advantage of that, because you just don't have a lot of options. Its just not an option for most groups who would want to compete to get into that market.

For it to not suck I think the physical circumstances have to change. Maybe there will be some kind of tech breakthrough with wireless technology. Or maybe we will change the laws so that everyone has the right to lay down a cable along any public road or freeway as long as it doesn't pose a significant threat to traffic.

But seems like its hard to make a law that creates a fair and democratic situation when you have limited access to such a critical resource in fairly specific places in under the street.

I mean, if there is already a place for fiber under the street, and you really need another line or whatever they call them, you can't dig another trench or whatever in the street. You have to put it with the other ones, in which case you are at the mercy of whoever controls access to that place where the lines go. If there really isn't a need for a new fiber line, then whoever controls the existing ones has a lot of power.

Just seems like the fact that there is a specific place these lines go, and a big expense and regulation, is what is causing the issues with pricing. If this were someone's brain being wired up like this, by a heavily regulated and monopolized cable industry, that person would be retarded.

I say we invent a glue or something that will attach a fiber strand to the street, a pole, or the side of a building, and declare open season. Just put them all over the place. Like a spider web, but on the street.

LOL. Sounds crazy, but I think it might actually be workable if we keep it in a thin layer on the ground. And pretty much anything would be better than having our balls kept in a vice like this by a handful of giant companies and governments.
My experience has been CS professors teach Discrete Math poorly.

Had to take a mostly equivalent class (Intro. to Abstract Math) for my Math degree as well, and the professor explained the same concepts clearer and everyone seemed to come out with a good understanding.
I was about to change my password, when I saw "delete my account" was on the same page.

On the one hand, that's a gutsy and convenient UI.

However, I immediately chose to delete my account.
In contrast with early labor movements the modern IT workforce seems to be quite happy with 60-80hrs and reacts aggressively to suggestions that 40hrs is better for them. I guess capital has learned a thing or two about managing the workforce. Don't give them money, give them more hours and JavaScript book to read before bed. Marx would shave his beard if he saw that.
UK media very often use Europe this way as well. It is as least as common to talk about the UK vs Europe as it is to talk about Europe and including the UK in that.

(So also be wary about that when interpreting comments - if they're paraphrased in UK media, this can easily creep in)
If I save someone a million dollars and they give me $10k,
just to pick a random example, it doesn't matter how "skilled" I am. I created a whole ton of value that's easily measured in dollars (in this case), and I take home a piece of it. You could say I must be skilled at something; making money, if nothing else.

As long as an individual can own a company or part of a company (capitalism), and given that companies regularly create a huge amount of value out of thin air, some individuals will be entitled to a fraction of the value created. It's that simple.
I would move to SE asia. That much money will last you 2yrs there, holed up in a hotel room with your own room service. 2 years is plenty of time to code.
Time to get LaunchKey (https://launchkey.com). Seriously, any Kickstarter employee wants to talk about integration and protecting users contact us. LaunchKey is password-less multi-factor authentication. These user data breaches don't have to include the password hysteria and weaknesses.

The specifics don't matter. Comcast has a goose that lays golden eggs and they will extract as much money from it as possible. There is nothing to "realize".
> e.g. suppose you are living in NYC and earning well. Then you pay %35 federal (or is it %39 yet), + 8% state + 5% city on income, for a total of %48 income taxes.

If you lived in Austin Texas you'd avoid that 8% state tax and 5% city tax.

Most major (and minor) US cities do not have an income tax. And a few states don't even have an Income tax (Texas, Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming). You could probably include Tennesse And New Hampshire in there too as they only require tax on dividends.

The reason why NYC and NY State can get away with charging those tax rates is that there's a sizable contingent of people who can't imagine living (or working) anywhere else other than NYC (it's a hell of a city). When you have a captive tax base like that it's in the state's rational best interest to jack the rates up as high as possible.

My advice: Vote with your feet.
React Community Round-up #16: Intros and tutorials
This is very useful and nicely put together. Well done! An easy iframe embed link on the playback page would be nice (pro feature?). Also, being able to target a window using the spacebar (like the native screenshot app) would be useful, as would full screen recording (at the moment if I go to the top left of the screen with the intention of dragging the selection box over the whole screen, the menubar gets in the way). Finally, I noticed that the progress percentage goes backwards sometimes (41% ... 42% ... 43% ... 41% ... 44%)
Glad I wasn't the only one that thought that.
