Religion is a cult, at least by the dictionary I am using. I don't really understand the entire religion/church environment, but of the few churches I have visited (I'm not religious) I was never asked to 'check in'; they keep no database of their attendees.
You're trying to police ideas and behaviors that offend you.

You don't have the right to do that. That's unacceptable.

Police your own, instead.
You can Google for academic literature. I provided some pretty comprehensive citations in my last post.

Or you can just ignore the world around you and not be troubled by the problems minorities are facing.

Hey, did you know that the unemployment rate is higher for blacks than whites? Does citing that statistic also make me a bigot? Does it make you feel better to ignore that problem too?
They get paid for another month, or maybe a few, until the advertiser sees that their ads now cost more than the revenue they bring in, as the fake/purchased clicks don't ever buy the company's products or services. At that point logic dictates that they cancel their ads with Google. Google would have earned that bit of money either way, but now they've lost all the future revenues from that business.

If you dig into almost any AdWords account and make a custom report that includes the "invalid clicks" column, you'll see that they already don't charge advertisers for a very large percentage of ad clicks. I have an "invalid activity" credit in my billing statement just about every month, which is an automatic refund for potentially fraudulent clicks that weren't detected immediately. You don't generally have to ask for the refunds, it's in their best interest to cancel those clicks and keep advertisers' ROI positive so they continue paying in future months.

It does not tell us that all the downvoters believe ageism not to be an issue.
I like the idea of knowing relative line numbers, but I have been unwilling to relinqish seeing absolute ones due to how prevalent it is to see them -- diffs, linting errors, and stack traces often include line numbers, and I find it really helpful to be able to easily find that. Go-to-line is supremely useful, but I also find the visual reminder helpful as well.
Someone sufficiently poor probably doesn't have the funds to start a startup period.
You might strike lucky and get funding from YC but how likely is that to cover everything? Including getting to the stage of securing the funding (like travel expenses, time to build a prototype etc). Also amongst poorer families there is a greater expectation that children will contribute back to the family pot at an earlier age.

I agree that it sucks to be poor, but I don't know how much startup funding can fix that.
I used to use this, but I found that a lot of the convenience of modal editing comes from the ability to compose commands. I took the time to learn Vim keybindings; now I use evil-mode and I like it a lot better than god-mode.

Loved the project. I do not think he is really showing his technical prowess here or the know-how of creating a responsive design. The idea is to help fine lost places in those photos. And that can only happen if one reaches a lot of people. HN is a good diverse group to do that.

Also, it really feels incredible to see how places have evolved over the times even when you have never really been to the place. Sometimes waiting isn't that bad. :)
If it was simple html, it never would have made it to HN, thus not achieving as much reach. Over-engineering, or brialliant marketing?
Yes I have done so.
2 tips:

- Limit the demands on your time and thinking capacity, to maximize the opportunity. I've found that my most creative ideas come when I have absolutely nothing else to think/worry about. In my personal case, I achieved this by travelling slowly. A change of scenery, without the demands of moving a lot.

- Place a firm limit on the time you take for this. It does not matter whether it is 2 months or 2 years. This is to limit the risk of non-decision. If everything is possible, what do you choose ? It's OK to not know or not be certain, but when that firm limit comes around, choose one. Action is better than thinking after a little while.

Good Luck !

It's what every company thrives to have, regardless of the economic system. Capitalism's key innovation over its predecessor, mercantilism, was to recognize that allowing them to happen is generally detrimental to society as a whole.
Horrible cause? Bad for society? Terrible argument. From many perspectives, a lot of software could be deemed "bad for society" (i.e. "Facebook wastes time," "Google finds objectionable content," "Twitter encourages shallowness," ...).

Yet we build those and use them because, for the most part, they can be used for good. Just like churches.
>You didn't have to click on the link.

I don't have to come to this website for that matter. The reason I do is because of the focus on technology news. If that is going to change, then I will leave and go elsewhere. I already find myself checking datatau before hn these days, because the content is so much more focused/relevant/better.

>Also, your categorization of "global warming warriors" seems a bit senseless, as if there are not regular folks on HN who happen to also be interested in climate change.

Then they can go to a climate change news site. Is it too much to ask that the submissions to a tech news site be on topic? Given my down votes, I guess it is. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
I'd like an answer to this as well. Openstack installation guides recommend it for HA.

pender has done an amazing job with Brogue. Without a doubt it's the best roguelike out there today. It doesn't have the same scale as crawl, but I think this is more of a strength than anything else. Slogging through 51 levels in a normal length game or upwards of 100 in extended is just exhausting. I joke that every time crawl gets better, we do it by cribbing something from Brogue.

Two features that come to mind are summoning mechanics and axes. Previously summoned monsters would stick around after a summoner died. This encouraged players to just run away if too many summons dropped. Instead, brogue pops all the summoned creatures as soon as you kill the summoner. This raises interesting tactical possibilities: Do I expend items to kill a summoner? Do I try to separate a summoner from other monsters?
Sure, but then aren't those first few years of pain the price of admission to a cushy bonus and a free Christmas?
I realize that you're joking, but... vim is a better less than less is, in almost all cases, for viewing code, because you get syntax highlighting.

I'm not a vim user, but I use it to replace less because syntax highlighting is the bee's knees: (you may need to change `vim74` to whatever it is on your system.)

alias less='/usr/share/vim/vim74/macros/less.sh'

You can then do things like:

less Makefile +400

which pairs very nicely with `grep -n`.
I returned a pair of QueitComforts and purchased a pair of Beats Bluetooth for airline travel because the Beats had better audio response for the music I like and they were wireless. The QuietComforts had the superior noise cancelling.

It almost seems like patent law needs to apply proportionally to the crossover in market share between two products. Bose and Beats operate within the same industry but I wouldn't consider their product offerings to completely overlap.

The outliers offer the consumer more choice and if the patent holder is not in that space, are they being damaged?
It is (or was?) also fairly normal for British snooker and darts players to place an 'insurance bet', by betting on themselves losing a game (http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/144899/Steve-Dav...)

Say that the difference between winning and losing a final is £50k, and the bookmakers pay out even on a bet that you lose. If you bet £20k on you losing, you change a "nothing if I lose, £50k if I win" game into a "£20k if I lose, £30k if I win" game.

Some players prefer such a game. Placing that bet might even increase their chance of winning, as part of the stress gets removed from the game (you're playing for £10k, not for £50k)
As a rule of thumb, when you find yourself telling the other person what their argument is, you're generally involved in a strawman.

> Yes, realistically you can only add at most ~30 bits of security to a password.

This sentence makes no sense to me. tptacek, correct me if I'm wrong, but Im pretty sure you can increase w to be as large as you want (i.e. the keyspace is large enough that youll be waiting years for a singular hash to finish before you wrap the whole keyspace). The only problem is that you force legitimate users to wait as well.

Let make up an extreme example to illustrate, you set w so that a hash takes 1 years - 1 day to compute on the clients machine. Also, they change passwords every year. (Yes, this is absurd because it means that the client can only work one day a year). Now, lets assume that he uses one of five-hundred passwords. If the attacker has 100x the compute power of the client, he will only have a 20% chance of getting the correct password. And that is with only roughly 9 bits of entropy.
But ed also displays code. I think you're looking for some way of editing code without displaying it on the screen at all.
Beautiful site and photos
Haha this thread is starting to sound like polygamy.

Airbnb Occupancy Rates are catching up with Hotels
I've read all your comments on this thread. I'm still unclear on why you think the problem of stretching a low-entropy secret into the high-entropy secret needed for strong cryptography is somehow different from the problem of safely storing a password so that disclosure of the authenticator doesn't directly compromise the password.

At this point, given the content on this thread, it seems that it's been explained clearly enough why salted SHAx is inadequate to that task. Do you still not understand why that is?

Until Windows finally got plugged into the Internet and the weak LANMAN hash became relevant to hackers, nobody used "rainbow tables" to break passwords (classic Unix crypt passwords aren't particularly vulnerable to them, since they're salted). But --- and this is crucial --- everyone cracked Unix password files. All of the original password cracking tools, from Crack through JtR, were designed to quickly crack salted hashes.

I know you got a lot of downvotes, but made me chuckle with the part about everyone just loving ruby CMSs. :)

Honestly though, I think it's a combination of a few things. First, Christians (and other religious people) are used to being bashed on HN and other similar sites, so I'm sure they (which includes me) would find it cool to see a positive post on religion and upvote it. Second, I'm sure some non-religious people thought it was a good piece of software and good work. And third, I'm sure some non-religious people felt good about themselves for upvoting this (as you mentioned in your comment).
Take anything 'pbsd writes to the bank. The problem here is that adding enough cost to add significantly more difficulty than that to a password quickly takes you to places where the real-world cost is infeasible.

(He's not arguing against using KDF-like constructions to store password authenticators).
I admire the effort that went into this. As anyone who ever tried creating a font knows, it's really tough putting it all together.

It's not _that_ bad at 12pt, but all that's wrong with the font really shows with smaller sizes. Stroke weights are inconsistent, eyes too small. The font was meant to be "clear, pragmatic and very readable". Right now, it's none of these.

Technical problems can be solved, and the font will look good to some. I don't like it, but that's just a matter of taste. Layman's opinion on aesthetics can only have statistical value (and it's questionable if professional's opinion should be valued more).

What really bothers me is pretentiousness of the first paragraph. Basically, "everything was meant to be great, so it is". That - along with a todo that says nothing about fixing flaws, but dreams of having cyrillic, greek, unicode - is the biggest problem of all.

Fixing that first would go a long way toward making this a newsworthy item and a font to keep an eye on.
The beef if Bose headphone don't sound good.

where Bose headphones are best at noise cancelling and bad at sound quality; or you can try to compare for yourself the frequency response or distortion [1] against a Sony MDR v6 for instance, which retails at 100$ and represent pretty well average quality headphones I think.

Recently, we found that in San Francisco, Airbnb is close to matching hotels in terms of occupancy rates (Airbnb occupancy locally last week was 87%). Therefore, we wanted to examine whether this figure represents an anomaly or a trend.

TL;DR: we think its possible mature Airbnb markets will begin to match local hotel occupancy rates sooner rather than later.
Ummm wow...that logic.
I wish Rust people (like Steve here) would stop saying that there's no new research in Rust. It's just totally 100% not true. Large parts of the Rust type system involve awesome new ideas. Additionally, as I said once to dherman, language design is _always_ research -- putting things together in a new way is basically all research is.
Sorry but this is not very impressive.

> Language is the serialization format for abstract concepts.

For you maybe, but some people work with images only and most people use a mix of language and images. Autistic people tend to work exclusively with images, or exclusively with words. Some also use music or numbers. You don't need to speak any audible language to invent or understand things. Your own internal language is enough. You'll just be so isolated that you're unlikely to be understood by the masses, that's all.

You are attempting to refute what was said by replacing it with a different argument. What you are touching on is what should happen as a result of theft and/or damage to property. I was pointing out that OPs original statement could be equally valid when reversed.
thanks for the upvote, to whomever upvoted...
My point is that what constitutes "late" is a function of the speed of traffic.

If you define "late" as "the latest point at which you can safely merge without causing negative traffic reactions (e.g. by forcing someone to brake)" then zipper/late merging is better than "moving over as soon as you can", even in light traffic.
I agree that "race to the bottom" is often abused when all that is really at issue is competition. However, it is applicable when it's undermining ability to deal with externalities. When the pressure is "who makes their air unbreathable fastest", calling it a "race to the bottom" seems perfectly appropriate and like something we want to avoid.
> To clarify, I absolutely to not condone any interactions whatsoever to do with pedophilia... but come on, people, let's not be blind here to the existence of people with full self control, ethical behavior, and private thoughts and desires.

This is excellent news. Two weeks ago I looked into flynn and the various repos had very little activity compared to deis so I went with that for now.

Edit: I posted this just FYI. I thought it'd be useful to know. Perhaps this is a consequence of splitting the project across a large number of repos, where some of them don't get many commits.
Since you asked:

I have liability-only car insurance (and high limits at that) but not collision/comprehensive, as I can readily write a check for a replacement car. (My car is worth about $5K; my wife's car about $7K.)

I have home insurance as I'm required by my mortgage to have it, but also because losing the house would be lifestyle-changing.

I don't insure risks that wouldn't be lifestyle-changing (unless legally mandated). I'd wager that $650 for a round of drinks isn't lifestyle changing for most golfers.

This insurance makes extended warranty plans for electronics a positively great deal in comparison...

Here's an example. On the easy end, I've got a visualization running on top a simple k-means clustering. Clustering with any meaningful dataset kills my window.

How safe does this street "look" to a Human?

NOT

How safe is this street?

Very important distinction - I would suggest changing the name of the project to "PerceivedStreetScore".

What is now needed is actually part 2 of this project - one that pull records from City/County/Federal crime stats, overlays them with a Map and then actually produces a "ActualCrimeScore" for each of these highlighted streets.

Then compare the two scores and write an (excellent) definitive paper titled "Factors that influence Human perceptions of safety - Lessons for City Planners"

It's an arbitrary distinction, but I wouldn't consider an area "very cheap" until it was significantly below the nation average.

According to http://www.payscale.com/ cost of living in Austin Texas is 7% cheaper than the national average. I would consider that cheap, but not very cheap.

payscale just happened to be the first site that came up but its number seem a little less extreme than the ones you gave:

cost of living relative to SF:
Phoenix: -41%
Miami: -34%
Anchorage: -23%
Dallas: -41%
New York: +38%
Knoxville: -45%

I doubt you could hire the same quality of developer in Miami for half the cost (especially including benefits).

I don't mean to sound argumentative. "very cheap" is an arbitrary distinction and I have no idea if the cost of living number you gave are more or less accurate than the ones I found. There are many places with good developers and significantly lower cost of living than the bay area.
Back at the start of April, a friend and I started building our first ever game - a word game called Hexiled for iOS. Quentin's "regular" work is building transit apps and I run a two-man web development business.

We soft launched about a week ago and got a little bump from Apple yesterday. The game is free and ad-supported but with an IAP to remove the ads and get a few bonus features.

I woke up this morning and we're #1 in the UK for free word games, #2 in Australia and #4 in the US. There are hundreds of new games being started every minute. It's been a pretty exciting process so far.

I'll be online for a while if anyone has questions. We have a series of blog posts in progress about the experience too - more on that later.
> but I do feel that a sexually repressed person who cannot release their sexual urges is more likely to rape someone than a person who regularly has sex/relationships/etc, regardless of sexual preference.

Agreed. Sadly, society (like many in this thread) would rather create an environment where people like that cannot get help. Rather, they must stay repressed, stay isolated, and further the likely hood of uncontrollable behavior.

Rehabilitation is something most don't want to discuss these days. God help those who lose the genetic lottery.
