The point is that with a db which hits the disk, the different execution times will generally look like rounding errors.
I read this as a programmer getting an intern (assistant). Like that idea, hey someone making 120-150k or more - that's not that crazy. Someone to research for you etc..
All Applinks is doing on Android is using the package name you specify in the metadata.

There's really not a lot going on here. Webpage scheme that you can parse to build an intent from. This couldn't be more than 50 lines of code. It would be less if they decided to use a custom URI scheme like "applinks://example.com?packagename=example.com" instead of parsing every webpage you go to looking for the applinks headers.
the comparison is with the 'threat level', not the idea itself
The company I work at (Veracross) has them for everyone - engineers and account managers. Myself and a few other engineers opted out for social reasons and instead work in a nice corner office with big windows. This works especially well while on-boarding people and working with interns.
As you can see in my other comments the basic things it lacks are a worldwide history of acceptance as currency (going back millennia in the case of gold) as well as uniqueness (the non-existence of equivalent substitutes). Whatever the technical characteristics of bitcoin, an alt coin can have the same technical characteristics. So we are riding a thin uniqueness, in terms of level of acceptance, that is not going to be driven deeper due to limits on adoption as a currency. (That I mention elsewhere.)

The uniqueness is a special lock-in for gold, and as gold becomes inconvenient due to price or scarcity, you can't just transfer it to Pt (platinum) or Ag (silver) in 10 minutes times however many confirmations you need. Gold has several layers of stickiness or lock-in, including historical and technical/physical.

Not so for bitcoin. It has self-limiting on adoption (due to the lack of anyone minting it by fiat, and its low total numbers), but moving away from it takes just minutes.

The most interesting chart is seeing the fall of bitcoin market cap against the rise of all other alt coins market cap - and to see if that is on the fall or on the rise.

Especially when things aren't denominated in BTC, but it is just used transiently, really, any other currency with a spot price will do just as well. There is no reason to believe bitcoin will have any greater use as a currency in the future than it does now. And unlike gold, it has no historical lock-in as a long-term store of value. No one is "stuck" with it, it is easy to verify transfer, and it is a totally liquid market (even at 3 AM on bank holidays) that is not held up by any printed prices or industrial uses.

It doesn't even have basic exchange mechanisms such as halting trading. The spot price of Bitcoin can collapse overnight. Unlike gold, there is just anything holding it up long-term.

It's a bit like pokemon cards, beanie babies, or pogs. Sure it can have value for a while, but as it doesn't see adoption as a currency, has no alternative or basic uses (less than these three examples in fact), and is very easy to move away from - there is no reason to suppose this will not happen. Bitcoin for a while was the only currency with its particular properties. But that is far from true anymore.
encfs uses the same questionable encryption techniques that motivated the creation of XTS in the first place. It's structured almost like full-disk encryption at the file level. I think the same's true of ecryptfs.
I'm wondering if tptacek is proposing that an attacker who can modify the TrueCrypt image on Dropbox can get either private key disclosure or remote code execution. (Actually, either of these here is likely to lead to the other.)

This seems definitely achievable under some applications of FDE and some assumptions about the state of attacker's knowledge, but I don't know if those assumptions are valid in the particular case of TrueCrypt on Dropbox.
Are you arguing that it's wrong for the President's security team to be given special privileges under the law?
Do you know about the new CrossRef API? It might be of use. e.g. http://api.crossref.org/works/10.5555/12345678

You can check the Registration Agency with CrossRef to see who's responsible for it:

http://doi.crossref.org/ra/10.1073/pnas.1324197111

In this case, it is CrossRef. So this should work: http://api.crossref.org/works/10.1073/pnas.1324197111

It doesn't. I'll see if I can find out what's wrong.

If you have any questions you can email labs@crossref.org

The article is not very good.

At the time (1943) the war was already lost for Germany(not for Japan). The US had entered the world fresh after watching people in Europe kill themselves for more than 2 years, and US industry was just too powerful for a country that was already weakened by two years of war.

US at the time was the biggest saver in the world, and one of the leaders in industry production, while not in weaponry, change to weapon manufacturing is easy when you have industry.

You can compare it with China today, while the US products were not as good as the Germans, they learned fast and they could simply outproduce them. For every good quality German tank, they could manufacture 10 not as good but who cares, American tanks, same with planes.

Another important thing is that after two years of war and more planes on the air that today, supplies became scarce, specially for Germans, so they had to get by with less quality components out of necessity.

Again, this is very normal in any war, at the start uniforms, and vehicles are new, morale is high, not so after years of seeing your country, your family, your friends destroyed.
Yep. I believe the bigger promise libraries (bluebird et al) implement mechanisms similar to asap internally iirc.

My point was that violating the A+ spec instead of getting into the whole rabbit hole of timer clamps is not as unreasonable as one might think, and that doing so doesn't incur delays in any of those scenarios.
When I worked at SAIC and Leidos, I had my own office. It was nice to be able to close my door and focus.
> What about resources like housing? It sounds to me as if housing in SF has run out? Build lots of skyscrapers everywhere? Then what about sunlight in your apartment?

I think in a tradeoff of "There's literally no more room for anybody to live," and "I have to go outside to get sunlight," I'd choose the latter.
>Fact by who?

By me. I've talked to people and they've changed their minds. Sorry, should've made that explicit.

>What about recording the rest of the macro and running both of them one after the other?

Because sometimes you only think of it later.

>Also as somebody already pointed out, vim already has plugin(s) for multiple cursor support and they work exactly as they should. I'm not arguing against multiple cursors, I'm just saying that they don't really bring anything new.

As I mentioned to them, I used that plugin, and while it's awesome and I totally love the author for making it, it just isn't as good. See my other comment for details.

And again, I really disagree that they don't bring anything new. That's like saying that WYSIWYG text editors don't bring everything new over systems like Latex. Can you do everything in both systems? Yes. Is it sometimes easier to just select text and hit "ctrl+b"? Yes. Is it always better? No. But it's good to have both options, as sometimes one crushes the other.

Again, I love vim, and I definitely use some of the very methods you've mentioned. But I'm not here to sell you anything, I don't earn anything by convincing you to at least give multiple cursors a shot, except knowing that if you're dismissing them without having tried them then you're missing out and that makes me sad.
You're doing it wrong, apparently. Humans are not meant to swallow corn whole. Cook, chew. Eat popcorn, corn-on-the-cob, tortilla chips, corn-flakes.

That's quite the condescending comment.

The 'ethical' part is likely referring to using visitors' browsers/CPUs to do your compute work without getting consent.

Parent post also mentioned the bandwidth usage is high so you're not only using the CPU but using up a visitor's bandwidth (many of whom have low monthly limits).
Sorry, in JavaScript.

At Thinkful, we're experimenting with different methods & resources, but wanted some feedback from the more experienced developers here.
I don't think that's weird. We have an open office setup where I work and everyone bounces ideas off each other in the open room environment, and comments on conversations that they have valuable input on. We also have empty offices all around that anyone can go sit in to do work when they want. I find myself doing about 80% in the open office and 20% in the private one
No reason not to do things in a vim-like way with multiple cursors. In fact, they're literally just an extension of the block-mode concept, except that it's just better because it allows you to do a superset of things.
If you've not taken it before, be extremely careful with Lariam, it has been well-established to cause numerous kinds of really unpleasant psychological side-effects in some people. Even got an FDA Black Box warning for it[1] recently.

I have personal experience of taking it for ~4 months as directed and suffering from extremely vivid hallucinations and extreme insomnia. I also managed to contract Malaria whilst taking it, twice.

Anecdote, pinch of salt, etc. But do some research yourself, ask your doctor, and definitely think twice.

(The other nice thing about Malarone is that it's also good for treating an actual infection, as well as for prophylaxis, assuming wherever you're travelling isn't resistant to it. And it's just gone generic, in the UK at least, and also worldwide, I think?))

I actually don't, but that's mainly to make my battery last. I get what you're saying though.
It's also, from what I understand, generally considered "bunk" by people who know the field.
To summarize, the contract was entirely enforceable

That's not a very fair summary. They didn't succeed in arguing that they could drop an account and keep the money without justifying it, which was the point here.

Mr. Greenspan suffered further losses to bring and defend on appeal a fruitless case.

His losses appear to have been about $40 of court fees and whatever he valued his time at, for a suit over about $700-800 in withheld revenues. Presumably the time was by far the more significant cost.

Isn't that rather the point he was trying to make, though? The whole case could have been avoided, saving everyone time and money, if Google had just answered a simple question in the first place. Fighting these cases, even if they win a Pyrrhic victory every time, is not a sustainable strategy.
This, unfortunately, is an all too common issue. My perspective is from that of a compensation consultant that has worked with a lot of private companies and start-ups (among others)

First you must address WHY your base pay is so far below market.

Next you must address the concept of the phantom stock and what it's true potential can be over whatever term they have offered (is it just for the upcoming year...is it forever?)

Next you need to understand what potential ownership would even offer. Is there any possibility of an exit/lquidity event in the foreseeable future? If not, cash probably makes more sense, unless the company offers a well-funded cash out potential or buy-back plan.

"Low-balling" base pay is pretty common. Many company find it hard to make significant pay increases to get pay in line for key employees. If you clearly explain your situation they may reconsider and offer something more useful

You may want to consider getting some professional help. I would recommend talking to Mary Russell (mary@stockoptioncounsel.com). I work with the corporate side of these equations. Mary works with the individuals. She may be able to help put together an argument that convinces the right people.

Sadly, sometimes walking away is the best option. I would recommend that you first make sure your other possibilities are exhausted.
Nope, I haven't. I'm just getting started with all this, so I've got a lot to explore and learn... :-)
"few groups that get more irrational hate than vegans"

This, like most stereotypes, is built around a core of experience, and then expounded. With a lot of vegans, its often not that they're wrong about what they say, its how they convey it. This came up today in another HN discussion on smoking as well. Its ok for them to not like things, just don't be a jerk about it.

On topic, while I agree that we may very well all die, this can also be looked at in a different perspective. When the antibiotic in question was first introduced, it had effectively a 5/5 chance of working. After ten years, it then had a 4/5 chance of working. Like most power laws, in maybe 10-20 years, it will have a 3/5 chance of working, ect... with a decay rate that slows with time.

Like all evolution, antibiotic resistance is driven primarily by the rate of survival and reproduction in the population. If resistance against AntibioticA is a strong predictor of survival (like when its newly introduced, and highly effective), then lots of bacteria will develop the immunity. As it gets used less, due to limited effectiveness, then it will become less of a predictor, and less bacteria will multiply with that as a trait.

Its not like evolution is "free" either. Often times, if an organism becomes heavily specialized in fending off one threat, then they leave themselves open to invasive species or perpendicular threats. I firmly believe that we have intelligence (I really do) and that while natural evolution is powerful, we already have many of the tools necessary to understand, and adapt along with it. We just need to be able to understand why they're changing, how they're changing, and how we can exploit that process for our gain.
Honestly I think it would be the opposite; Bitcoin would be yet another way that the developed world has screwed over the developing world, once malicious actors realize that perfectly good wallet.dats exist on the cellphones of people who think that having sex with virgins cures AIDS.
I just quit my job today because we have 12 developers in a TINY room, worst atmosphere. I can't work to my full potential unless I work in near absolute silence. Private offices would be a god send.

Comment hating on Facebook gets upvote? Stop the presses.

Maybe I'm misreading you, but it sounds like you believe that upvotes on HN allow you to infer something meaningful about what real, normal people believe. Don't make that mistake. You'll be in for a rude awakening if you do.
Pseudonymous is the term you're looking for, I think. An identity that's not tied to your real-world identity.
With the title 'Web Fundamentals', from Google there might be something good there to learn. Butm three points:

(1) "Multi-screen" is not in my Funk and Wagnalls and, thus, has a specialized meaning, is a 'term', and needs at least a definition and likely also motivation, explanation, and examples. So, the author of this course on writing Web sites doesn't know how to write.

(2) He says that the course will end with a 'landing page'. I don't really know what the heck that is. Once again he is long on obscure terminology and short on definitions.

Apparently he likes his own jargon. Bummer.

(3) His page has a black background with faint type that is nearly impossible to read. In addition he has some 'swaths' of light across the text making the page next to impossible to read. Maybe if I 'selected' the text from the page or got the HTML and extracted the text I could read it, but what he has is not good.

Bummer.

How I Removed Email From My Life
As a tangent on this, we're in a coworking space in London that has a dedicated "quiet floor" and actively furnished the place to reduce noise levels. The floor has fewer desks, padded dividers, sound baffles around the room, and is laid out well.

It's in London, and it's here: http://www.huckletree.com/

We chose this after finding that in our existing coworking space, that the company that moved in to the other side of our desk cluster spent the majority of their time on the phone and were loud about it.

Some are less temporary than others.

Bleach, for example. Autoclaves. Magma.
Is it really though? I think it depends on accessibility.

Every week I dry 40 minutes round-trip to a grocery store that specializes in raw foods (vegetables, fruits, cheeses, etc) and get enough food for about $60 to feed myself and my friend for the full week.

Those prices just aren't available to someone without a vehicle and those in the city are probably paying more for less (for instance, the Shaw's across the street from me in Boston sells lettuce for 2.50 and I pay 98 cents for organic outside the city).
"This may only show that you grok VimScript way of thinking, not Vim way of thinking."

True enough that it doesn't prove anything.

"You need not re-record a macro, a macro is stored in a register. Just edit the register, and you're good to go with you new, (supposedly) improved macro."

I know. And if you think this process is easier, faster, or saves keystrokes over using multiple cursors, then I think you're wrong.

"In Vim, you edit in Normal mode, and insert in insert mode. Multiple cursors is a means of moving editing into insert mode, and thus in spite of the Vim way."

No no no! That's the beauty of using multiple cursors in vim. You can have (potentially) multiple cursors in Normal Mode, and use all the normal vim commands. That's what makes it so sad that it doesn't have multiple cursors, because if you can merge the power of multiple cursors with the power of vim, you get something amazing.

Imagine having the following:

<pre>

<div>some text</div>
<div>Some other text</div>
<div>Third</div>

</pre>

Then imagine you want to, for some reason, copy-paste the contents of the different divs into (say) another buffer.

With multiple cursors, you can select the three lines, use the vim commands to yank the text object that's in between the divs (yit), and then paste it elsewhere. This is not possible in Sublime Text, since it has no way of saying "select text between divs". Or even, doesn't have vim's "f" command so one could jump to the "<" character opening the second div.
>the network's security has no correlation to the amount of hashing power involved. (There's no 51% attack on Ripple)

I think you are misunderstanding what the majority of users consider "security". Typically it involves a situation where someone else can't arbitrarily change the rules on a whim or influence the outcome of transactions on a one-off basis.

I'd also like to point out this account is used almost exclusively to promote ripple here on HN while rarely disclosing that the owner, Phil Rapoport, is currently involved with Ripple (the corporation) and has been since 2011 [1]

That looks like the definition of a symmetric stream cipher, not OTP. You're missing the part where the OTP keystream has to be truly random. The output of a block cipher in CTR mode is not truly random.
Yep. If you charge ~$x/h as a freelancer you're probably taking home a similar amount to someone making $xK/year once you hit your stride and have a lot of contacts coming to you with work (which can take years to build up).

I'll throw Seattle at the top of the list. Why?

1. The job climate here is ridiculous for developers. Just today, I had a tech recruiter tell me that they were diversifying into designers, etc. because the market is so tight.

2. In addition to many jobs, there are lots of interesting and sexy companies to work for...big to small, consumer and b2b, and so on.

3. Quality of life

4. Cost of living

The main drawback here is that we don't have a huge VC community like SF, NYC and BOS. So, if you're gonna do a startup, be prepared to travel to raise money.
