Are we reading the same article because I feel like they are making that argument. Payday loans maybe a bad deal but they aren't inherently scams. At any rate if these are scams then why aren't they being addressed through the courts instead of via this extrajudicial method?
In my normal car, if I run out of gas and get stranded, I can at least listen to the radio for several hours while I wait for help. Do electric cars reserve any power for the radio when they run out of drive power?
The Type Cover doesn't, however it does have a neat trick where it seems to be able to sense your fingers nearby and activate the backlight. I always wondered what method it uses to do that and how hackable it is.
So you're talking out of your ass and that's the best evidence you've got? Because the person you're replying to apparently has some first-hand experience (which I've also seen but to a much lesser degree) and I'm sure as hell thankful that there's even a modicum of regulation in the food industry.
Way to not give any details about the vulnerability...
Great idea. Unfortunately the price to get there is still pretty steep. Can I get my pocket cube to orbit for $8k-10k? Without large efforts to organize a bigger payload? I doubt.
I'm collecting little stories like these to show my kids as they hit their teens.

Everyone does a few dumb things while they are teenagers. A frighteningly large number of teens (esp. here in France) start smoking. Choose something else, please!

It'd probably be better to get pregnant; we'll be here to help you stay in school etc., and having a kid can be quite a difficult commitment for a few years, but gradually gets easier. It will make some things harder in your life, but it won't generally shut many doors.

Starting smoking is a lifelong commitment that will never have a positive payoff beyond "hey a little buzz", has a decent chance of a fucking horrible cost (hello, young people with cancer) if you have the wrong genes, and relatively-horrible costs even if you don't (having a lower quality of life when you're old and dying younger, yes, but also the financial cost is staggering -- the cost of the cigarettes is just a bit of it; you'll pay more for health/homeowners/car/life insurance, everything you own and might re-sell will have lower value, if you start a fire like one of the hundreds of thousands of other smokers who do in any given year, you'll pay for that, etc.).

Or you may quit, and live the possibly-quite-unpleasant life of an addict who has quit their addiction. See above; it can suck intensely, and you will crumble, you will choose "worse life with" vs. "worse life without" and construct flimsy rationalizations around it, but the only winning move is not to play.

I lost two grandparents early to smoking-related illness/cancers, and I have a once-smoking friend who got lung cancer when she was 20, though she's still alive, so I can make sure they won't have any illusions about "the bad outcomes only happen to other people".

[huh, this didn't start as a rant, but it sure is one now.]
I suspect a lot of people will be unable to read it if they use HTTPS everywhere: the 4chan blog does not support https and the EFF is currently in a ruleset freeze so they cannot reflect that until the next stable version is out.
Simply mentioning PR and P Quadtrees tipped me off since that class is the only time I've ever heard of those data structures mentioned. Then I checked out your website and saw you went to UMD. Case closed, haha.
I'm wondering why the URL redirects to "/accounts/3lycc/timeline_activity" - specifically the "3lycc" part?

First I thought that the OP had submitted a link to his personal analytics page, but entering just analytics.twitter.com in the browser redirects to this page. Does anybody know what 3lycc means?
Exactly my initial point. It is really worthwhile to treat code and binary data differently, and the tools don't exist to make it not-so-painful.

To answer a couple of levels up, it's not bad practice because it isn't useful... there are many circumstances where having big binary blobs versioned and associated with code. It is bad practice because the tools are all written _for_ code and can get nasty when filled with binaries.

So there's a problem and a solution, but nobody seems to have put together the right magic yet.
I feel like "industry" doesn't really want functional style programming to take over. Languages like OCaml provide really great speed while having also utilizing a relatively high abstraction level, while Lisp may not have as much speed but it takes your brain on a journey to another dimension.

However, in practice, people seem to just want "C with Lambdas" languages like Go.
Rubbish. IPv4 NAT is not a security feature.
In California, the anti-prostitution laws apparently have a loophole that is exploited by pornographers.

I am told that in California it is illegal for someone to pay to receive sexual acts. However, it is legal to pay people to engage in sexual acts with each other as long as the person making the payment doesn't participate.
Interesting service. Attacking the problem by trying to optimize within the constraints of the current system.

It's a problem you wish you could eliminate instead of just trying to optimize around.

> ll this misinformation is a version of the Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt tactic that’s been recognized as a marketing tool in other contexts.

This reminds me of computer security. With the recent exponential growth of vulnerabilities and backdoors, people are talking about moving to more secure languages like Haskell and Rust, installing airgaps, etc. But when you think about it, why does it matter? Look how "vulnerable" credit cards are, every time you use with a new vendor, you increase the risk that one of those vendors will take all your money. But this never actual is a problem in practice because the credit card company actually knows you in person, and if they see that any suspicious behaviour happened, they will just revert the transaction.

With the advent of the third wave of computing, the cloud, the Internet of Things, and whatnot, I think everything will just become a pseudo-intelligent big ball of semantics. Take the web for example. Nobody actually knows what a web browser should do. They just know that when you use a well battle tested browser, it will probably work on most sites, and usually wont be more than slightly degraded even on the sites it doesn't work well on. These days protocols are evolving more into, just say what you want, and the machines will figure it out through their vast pools of information. This same kind of thing will make security issues irrelevant, because the Internet of Things will just know who you are (by various means obtained by their evolution), and you'll never have to worry about an actual attacker doing damage to you.
That's definitely lower than Chrome.

That's probably the most insightful view going - I was simply thinking of him as yet another construction guy. But add that to his story / marketing / brand and ... I will pay extra for the proof of a guy willing to be painstaking to achieve excellence.

I would have reached the mouse and rotated the stupid picture in fraction of the time, not even having the need to remember application-specific gestures.
One possibility here is that many would pay for porn with stolen credit cards. Thus making business that sell porn high risk to banks?

That said from the other comments on here it does sound like there could be more to it.
you forgot being lectured about taking risks (or wasting my life on making better advertising) by assholes who've already made theirs and never have to worry about how they're ever going to afford to buy in the bay area, raise a family, pay for college, etc. It's easy to take a risk on a job when you don't need the money...
Tumblr only recently added SSL support, which is likely the reason Moot hasn't implemented it yet.

That said, I(unfortunately) doubt that HTTPS-everywhere is being utilized by that many people.
Cable cars also have the benefit of (effectively) regenerative braking. when your loaded car is going down hill, you're adding energy to the system to help pull another car up. ski lifts too, for that matter.
But that's not the thing. The argument is that labeling something "GMO" gives NO information about whether it's safe. You cannot use this label to err on the side of safety, because the same argument can be used for food labeled as "GMO-free": this also gives NO information about its safety. What side would you err on in this case?
Using the tracpad on an Macbook Pro, I don't usually find myself clicking, but mostly using gestures such as tapping. Even two finger tapping is recognized. I don't see why one of the crazy gestures this cool thing can recognize couldn't represent what we currently think of left click and another for right.
My point is that asking colleagues you trust is not enough to conclude that nothing of this sort happened. Maybe your colleagues weren't aware of what was going on?

A third party audit would probably be a better option. But I am sure Google knows how to handle these cases better.

In terms of "sportsman who is so far ahead of his peers that it's almost impossible to explain how", then yes, I think Bradman fits the bill!
I'm a little confused by your app/product. You say every person experiences a product differently, so how can you catch the essence of that experience in a tweet? While I agree that the current state of reviews, bites. I think filtering for content and context is key..
I was very excited to see that there was a "Juggling" category on Grantland.

I was very disappointed when it turns out this was the only entry.
Could you use the expression in context?

If you're saying e.g., "I got this pdf offline", I would argue your usage is incorrect and that saying, "I downloaded this pdf","got it online", or some variant would be more accurate.

That is, unless you would consider, 'got it offline' to be an idiomatic expression for 'downloaded/retrieved-from-the-internet' in whatever region you're from. ~
The article scuttles the basic issues like

1. How credible is the bio safety of GM products. Why is the consumer not having the choice to know if a product uses GM ingredients?

2. What is the level of pesticide residues in food we eat? What are the harmful effects? For example, many organo chlorides are known to be persistent pollutants and can cause severe damage to nervous and endocrine systems and can even affect fetuses.

3. Why there is no transparency of information regarding toxicity of chemicals found in food?
I use my VirtualPostMail address for just about everything (except the DMV, homeowners/auto insurance, and voter registration) and haven't had any problems so far. Now that I think about it, my health insurance doesn't know my real address. I should probably fix that...

It does help that my virtual address is in the same state as my real address, so things that depend on states work correctly. Without that, I'd probably have to give my real address to more places and encounter more confusion.

The most annoying thing in general is having to fill in separate billing and shipping addresses whenever I buy something online, because of course my billing address is the virtual address. I've had a couple of stores require a phone call to complete an order with separate billing/shipping addresses.
Someone should set up a bet about what point in time more than 50% of MITM attempts with revoked (& Heartbleed-snarfed) certs will be caught by default configured browsers. "Never?"

This and lack of PFS are much bigger catastrophes than
the OpenSSL debacle in itself.

(PFS: supported by TLS but disabled by almost everyone so all your old traffic is decryptable with heartbled cert).

there is pretty much no one who has dominated a sport the way bradman dominated cricket, i think. consider - he has the highest lifetime test batting average of all time, at 99.94. which doesn't perhaps sound that impressive, out of context, until you see that the next three people in the record books have averages of 60.97, 60.83 and 60.73. he was more than 50% better than the second-best test batsman around.
I always wanted this to exist. But ofcouse, never had the hardware skills to make one.

I have the same feeling as you about the IR thing. makes me if they are only BETWEEN keys, wouldn't the make the sensing in accurate?

My HP laptop's mouse buttons are actually part of the trackpad itself. That is to sya, you can even move your finger over them and it still functions as if you are using the track pad. so, couldn't we extend this to the entire keyboard? It's just a really cool concept to having them merged as one. It wouldn't disrupt you each time u have to use the mouse. You can just do it right on the keyboard with moving you hands all the way to the mouse or keypad!

This article's pretty much useless.
There certainly is some money in juggling. The article mentioned 50k starting salary at cirque du soleil. But maybe working in concrete lets him spend more time with his family for roughly the same amount of money (or more).
I just got a letter in the post from my bank in Sweden about this. Maybe there is a deadline somewhere, or just a coincidence.

well yes, most of us tap instead of clicking. question is, how would it differentiate a "tap" from a "keypress" if trackpad and keyboard are in the same place?
What about Vova Galchenko? (One of the other jugglers mentioned in the article - the one Anthony inadvertently got into a "competition" with).

As far as putting on a show and performing with poise, Gatto easily wins. In at least some specific areas like clubs, Vova seems to rival him though. He is really consistent and has demonstrated he can perform pretty well too. Here's a direct link to Vova's video [0]. This is probably one of my favorite juggling videos to watch.

Incidentally, I believe Vova has moved on as well- he got a degree in Computer Science and is doing software development these days. His sister Olga has also gone on into engineering.

> We need empirical definition of what constitutes "high risk" is

Average CC fraud rate is 0.04% of credit card transactions. A 'high' rate would be greater than 0.1%.

The site categories that are listed frequently have fraud rates of 1% or higher, they are way above average. Webcam site fraud rates are at least 1%, if you counted attempts you could multiply that by an order of magnitude.

Further, what isn't fraud on the webcam sites is often money laundering. As much as I hate to admit it, but the DOJ are right to be wary of them (not that I agree with shutting down sites or porn star bank accounts carte blanche).

Webcamming is a very easy way to launder money, and it happens. A lot.
And if they get cancer a few years later or die then we know that we shouldn't trust the certificate they used. Great!
Temperature conversions are a little goofy because they are nonlinear. Google's 100F to C is:

You want: tempC

I am guessing its configurable (like inverted camera in games) So, that should end this debate right now.

Btw, two finger scrolling on trackpads is usually opposite of what works on the phone too, and people have no trouble with that either

But ignore that, as i said, it must be configurable. No sense on debating on each others preferences
The story was just fine with respect to the guidelines. The thread, unfortunately (and predictably), was not. I share your frustration about that, but I also understand why many users flagged the story—not because it's uninteresting or unimportant, but because HN, or rather a small subset of HN users, can't manage to discuss it without a flamewar.
I use VirtualPostMail. I'm on the cheapest plan, $10/month, plus an average of maybe $5 for forwarding certain things. I don't get much mail, though.
Thanks for the excellent suggestions. My local transit agency doesn't have a reputation for complexity, but I'll do some research.

Yes, a startup would certainly offer the complexity I'm after. I'm not pursuing insurmountable complexity in its own right. I feel we should be doing programming at a vastly higher level of abstraction.

Maybe I ought to shift to Haskell development, or spin higher level of abstraction into a venture of its own. Thanks again.
You know when toddlers try to put a round peg in a square hole? that's how it feels using functional programming in a turing-machine-like CPU. It just don't fit.
You don't have to choose between what's inside and what's mounted in. You can mark persistent directories (directories that should live longer than any given instance) as volumes with "dockercrun -v". Docker will arrange for them to live separately from the rest of the container filesystem. Then you can share volumes between containers with "docker run --volumes-from"

This is a case of a performer aging and not being able to understand a new medium. Gatto asks if posting videos on youtube will get him another job. He never considers that it can be a job.
Pretending for a moment you couldn't see without a label that these technologies are contained somewhere: What would be the problem of labeling a product as containing a computer? Or a "wireless telegraphy" machine?
If you want to make an informed decision you need information. And if someone starts to hide that information I get a bit suspicious.

you could do some other gesture, like raising two fingers? We are trained to tap now, but people can figure out different gestures like pinch to zoom so I don't think the clicking has to necessarily be a tapping gesture
Of course I'm biased but I consider it a significant regression in your usage of Docker to build images from a vagrantfile instead of a Dockerfile.

I'm curious why you feel Docker doesn't offer separation of respinsibilities? In my experience the opposite is true, and a recurring theme in why people switch from Vagrant to Docker.
Are you has any plans about GitlabCI hosting?
Just make sure you still use Dockerfiles. Otherwise you'll be missing a big part of Docker's features.
So your objection is that some federal agency is interfering by telling people what they can and can't call 'food' and sell as such - and your solution is to replace that with a system of marks and branding that helps consumers identify 'good food'. Hmm. So who's going to stop me, in this libertarian utopia of yours, from sticking a 'spam' label with a 'consumer reports approved 100% certified' logo on it on tins of rancid horsemeat and selling those? You've got rid of the FDA, and now we're going to rely on the USPTO to enforce trademark law as a way to assure consumer safety?

Or if you're consistent, then you presumably abolished the USPTO as well, and now we're back to hiring our own personal food tasters...

As for amazon reviews, I'm reminded of the XKCD argument: an ebay seller can ship a live bobcat in place of the expected product one time in ten and still get 90% positive feedback...

If you have an urge to work in python, I would strongly recommend Scrapy. You could also use Beautiful Soup if you wanted. BS would be a little harder to use but is very useful.
Yup, came here to say this.
Dockerfiles are designed to give you all the primitives you need to compose arbitrarily complex build processes, and no more.

A Dockerfile is not a replacement for your favorite build script: it's a reliable foundation for defining, unambiguously, in which context to run your script. The Dockerfile's defining feature is that it has no implicit dependency: it only needs a working Docker install. Unlike your favorite build script, which may require "python" (but which version exactly?), ssh (but which build exactly?), gcc ( but...), openssl ( but...) and so on.
Yeah, this is why I'd bet a lot on Go's success. The nice thing is that once you get "C with lambdas" most of the FP abstractions can be brought in.

...what "industry" doesn't like is "deep thinking" in general and anything else that can make programmers less replaceable and interchangeable. The fun thing will be when they'll realize that this is exactly what FP can bring :) ...less side-effects means less time for a programmer to "load a codebase-part into his working memory" and start working productively on a new project he's never seen before.

And as a programmer too I tend to like languages that make me replaceable: it's always fun to be able to jump from one project to another and be able to quickly "load it in your mind". Paradoxically, both "retarded OOP" languages like Java, "retarded dynamic" languages like Javascript and "fundamentalist" languages like Haskell give you this. Anything in between, like Ruby or Lisp, forces you to first to load someone else's pseudo-DSL into your mind before being able to start doing productive work on a new project. Dunno about "hybrids" like Scala though... maybe they are a solution, maybe not.

EDIT: 'more' -> 'less' in first sentence, sorry... dunno who upvoted before the edit as the message gets kind of reversed :)
