The more positions are elected, the more power the majority have to impose upon minorities.

It is well known that pure democracy does not invariably promote liberal society, which is why the Founders of the US Constitution specifically rejected majoritarianism.
I've only done meth a few times. It made me a little more edgy than caffeine. I've used cocaine WAY more times, and of course, the effect is different there as well.

While I personally get a feeling of euphoria from cocaine, but not meth or caffeine, I understand that sometimes it can be useful to group things that are different but similar together to better understand them.
It set off the ring detector. It looks like a false positive to me, so we'll turn that off.

We also changed the title (from "If you use Paypal, you should know they aren't sending IPNs") to make it more neutral.
The benchmarks on that website are bogus. For example, he uses the gtkperf benchmark to draw the conclusion that the Banana Pi has a better GPU that the Raspberry Pi, but gtkperf doesn't even run on the GPU on the Raspberry Pi, and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't on the Banana Pi either.
That's not a sane limitation at all. Why would such a limitation be in a protocol designed in 2014?

Your comment as it stands isn't particularly useful. Specifics would improve it greatly.
You could offer something of value in exchange.

For example I could offer an ebook coughshameless plugcough:

https://leanpub.com/ideas_are_a_dime_a_dozen

And then have people send me Stellars to user id '007' rather than pay through the website.

The book is free to download but you get the idea.

I also don't have a Facebook account but providing something of value is my strategy.
Presumably people can or will be able to set up an RSS feed for items they're looking for (like a couch, bed, TV, etc.), and the truck company will standardize on terms to make it easy to see.

50% isn't that bad (or a whole lot) when a lot of the items won't be going for much anyway.

I'd see an upsell existing where you could pay $5 or $10 (or $1/lb) to extend the auction by, say, 24hrs.

The biggest problem I see is with a lot of leases ending at the change of the calendar month, there will be a surplus of items at the end of the month (as people have to leave), and a lot of demand at the beginning of the month (as people move in).
Live links would also be nice, though it defeats somehow the original purpose of shunning the browser.

Merriam Webster defines `pure democracy` as "democracy in which the power is exercised directly by the people rather than through representatives".

As you can see, electing representatives is not the same as pure democracy.

Vulnerable Application – How to let them know?
I've found that a site is extremely vulnerable, to a point where i was able to look into the database.

that website collects payments as part of their product and now they have thousands of credit card numbers, expiration, cvv stored in the database. also they store users email addresses and passwords in plain text.

how do you let them know without getting in any kind of trouble or them knowing who you are?

i fear for the people who have their credit cards and information stored there and if this falls into the wrong hands it can leads to a disaster.

i am talking about 40K credit card numbers 34K+ are not expired.
The U.S. fertility rate is 1.880. We are only experiencing a population increase currently because our total population was so much lower 80 years ago.

Our fertility rate went below 2.0 in 1994, so we'll see noticeable natural decreases in population in the second half of the century unless life expectancy increases by more than 20 years.

And from the other point of view, I've sent reasonable offers (based on local market rates) to sellers that "Had to have it gone by the end of the month!", gotten a "No way, I paid $X for this new just 12 months ago!" only to see it relisted the next month.

This system makes that "Get it gone now!" constraint real.

I often wonder why so many people like Fight Club so much (seriously). I mean, a bunch of my friends think it's the greatest thing, and repeat some of the cra..., I mean, some of the lines all the time (not really, but anything annoying that gets repeated starts to look like it's all of the time). All that fascist streak doesn't even get noticed, and I get confused looks when I mention it. Weird.
Not sure if the website has been changed since you made this comment, but at the moment the "How it works" section contains everything that was in that comment.
We are not suffering an overpopulation problem and we are far far from one world wide, so much land is locked up by governments and not used that we can continue growing for a long time, combine that with the incredible waste of food the occurs, if not water, we just need to change our management.

The water issues the West face are because of decades of mismanagement by the Bureau of Reclamation and at state levels has distorted water usage. The amount of farm land in California that only exists because of inordinately cheap water has resulted in too many water intensive farms not sucking dry the water table.

The fix is simple but not popular, start charging for water what it costs to deliver there. Building dams and supporting infrastructure to deliver water is not cheap, nor is their maintenance. So charge appropriate amounts for it.

Yeah, some farms are going to revert back to grasslands and maybe even forest over the long term. The farms themselves will simply move to where water is more readily available and cheaper. That is how things should work, but the government distorted this with water that was so cheap it encouraged the problem that exist.
Anyway, once it's done, anything good you do later is a net positive.

It's not like one can change the past.

I would say that while there can be legitimate email addresses with multiple digits, and fraudulent email addresses with no digits, neither of these facts precludes the possibility of a correlation.
The problem is that a function is a thing. A string is a different thing. Imagine if arrays were represented as comma delimited strings, and you had a function isArray to check if a string has the right format to represent an array. That would be ridiculous right? An array should be its own type. The same goes for functions. Representing functions as string names is just as crazy as representing arrays as comma delimited strings.

Though who am I kidding, PHP is also confused between numbers and arrays and strings, so I guess at least it's consistent that the language is thoroughly crazy.
Well, the main design is that people will use this for real-world currencies. If people are interested in starting to issue fake ones with arbitrary names, it's probably worth raising with the developers! They're hanging around in #stellar-dev, and I'm sure would love feedback :).
Only only 'you can', it is being done by thousands of companies across the world every second. (not these properties directly, just building a statistical model of fraudulent users and comparing transactions to that model to flag potentially fraudulent transactions - in wire transfers, online purchases, credit card use, ...)
Thats funny when I ran a team of developers responsible for integrating Legacy projects that went as far back as VMS control systems we managed to make it work with limited problems.

That's not accurate.

The 'tyranny of the majority' issue is not really one that concerned the founders of the U.S. as much as people think, particularly not while they were drafting the Constitution.

They were more worried that if you give everyone the right to vote, they would rationally vote in their own best interests in the short term, choosing to seize all property held by the landowners.

I also don't know that it's all that "well known that pure democracy does not invariably promote liberal society." There weren't then and aren't now many examples of pure democracy. Hell, at the time there weren't all that many examples of Republics.
There's also plenty of water available in the US West if there wasn't so much water-intensive agriculture in arid regions (Yuma, Imperial Valley, etc), which uses 80% of the river.
i believe a lot of the scientific community used to call them "dewars" (i've seen the name used in old sf stories). not sure if that still prevails anywhere.
If you could get indistinguishable results, studios would have done it to many of their movies already.
I haven't been to a movie theather for the past 4 years or so (kids), so I don't know what it's like now, but back then you could definitely tell. Film was still superior and if they could simulate it I'm pretty sure they would.
It's my understanding that Microsoft's complaint is that the US Government isn't bothering going through the proper international channels setup through treaty arrangements in order to retrieve this data, and is instead relying entirely on domestic procedures.

PagerDuty (YC S10) Raises 27.2M
Because, in general, they can trigger layout/reflow, so they can't run on the compositor. For example, changing things like "top" on an absolutely positioned box can trigger reflow of the contents inside, because of the way CSS works (for example, if "bottom" is set, then the height changes, which can affect the size of things with percentage heights, which can cause floats to be repositioned, etc. etc.)

In traditional browser engines it's even worse because layout runs on the main thread, which is also shared with your JavaScript, so painting ends up transitively blocked waiting for your scripts to finish. That is not the case in Servo (disclaimer: I work on Servo), but making layout run off the main thread is hard for many reasons—some inherent to the problem, some historical in the design of current engines—so all current browsers run JS and layout together.
I'll use this as an opportunity to give a shout out for my new favorite password manager: pass [0]

It uses gpg to encrypt passwords that are then stored locally, but can be synced using Dropbox, rsync, unison, etc. It is a command line program, so it doesn't have things like browser integration, but on a mac, a little Automator magic alleviates most of that pain. Besides, after trying 1password, lastpass, and a few others, the browser integration was usually a source of frustration instead of convenience.

For my setup, I have a keyboard combo mapped to an Automator action that gets the current URL from Safari, passes it to a shell script that strips out the hostname, then uses pass to copy the password to the clipboard for 45 seconds. Then, I use another script to have a notification pop up with my username in case I've forgotten it. So I press "cmd+\", then a second later I have my password in the clipboard and my username showing on a temporary desktop notification.

I'm also using pass to store bank credentials, software keys, and other things. I also have it set up to use a different gpg key to keep a journal. It has turned out to be a very versatile and reliable piece of software.

As you most probably know there are several stakeholders in business purchasing decision, which stakeholder you were talking to will be the key to figuring out how to answer this objection? And what is your value proposition.

A potential response may be "Then why are you not hiring more people to update spreadsheet." Another response may be "How accurate do you think more people will be with updating a spreadsheet compared to a automated process." Another one could be "How important is accuracy to you?"

It all comes down to whom you were talking to, what is your value proposition, what is in it for the business you are selling to, and what is in it for the stakeholder you are talking to.

Dose and scale of usage are kind of important factors here...

If people are chewing coca leaves is that really very different from caffeine? No, probably not. So then...what if they are doing very small amounts of cocaine or amphetamines? Is that very different from caffeine?

I'm guessing most of the problem with drugs actually comes very simply from the abuse of drugs.

Yea, current electric cars don't really solve the problem as batteries are prone to fire. If we want underground vehicles, we need wire connected electric.

If you've ever sat down and looked at Paypal's APIs properly, for instance with a view towards a proper risk analysis and/or from-scratch integration, then this should not surprise you. I did this for the first time perhaps ten years ago, and here's what I found.

Firstly, the degree of marketing bullshit that you have to push through just to get to the truth of the APIs is staggering.

Secondly, they perform backflips to avoid telling the truth about their integration options, which is to say that they're all fundamentally insecure for real time digital goods and services unless you implement IPN plus polling plus duplicate detection / additional round-trip validation calls, ie. you can't trust an IPN notification. The degree of complexity (order state tracking, IPN state tracking and duplicate detection, retry support, running your own IPN-receiving server) and latency requested here of client businesses is immense.

Thirdly, their idea of international support is pathetic. It seems that they've basically duplicated their entire business process to other countries, translated it, and then assumed that everyone in that country requires only one human language in all of their interactions: documentation, support, emails, etc.

Finally, as is widely known throughout the industry they have a shocking reputation for the arbitrary suspension and seizure of accounts and assets, with little to no recourse for those affected.

I am not surprised that Stripe has taken off. Unfortunately, that's still lipstick on a pig: fundamentally, the settlement, risk, transparency and government interaction model of credit card networks means they are unsuitable for an increasingly large volume of business around the world.

Quips aside, I regret nearly every thing I did that derived from the fanatical faith I held for my first quarter century, apart from finding my wife. I missed out on so much of life because of my devotion, and if I'm a mocker or a fool now, it's only because I have so few minutes in this place and regret having wasted so much of it on religion.

A voting ring is when you submit something, and then tell a few dozen of your "friends" to vote for your submissions (and you agree to do the same for them). HN has heuristics which detect this sort of behavior, and penalizes the ranking of an article that looks like it's being voted up by a voting ring.

(Disclaimer: I haven't read the HN code, and have no idea how they actually detect such things.)

Considering that photons have a force, I wonder if the force of the photos hitting a craft propelled by an EmDrive would be able to approach a star. The craft with an EmDrive would likely need solar panels to sustain the EmDrive which would increase the craft's surface area to encounter more photons and other energy particles.

Fair enough. https://github.com/blblack/gdnsd <- I take it.

The reason Route53 excited me is it has failover, healthchecks, etc. built in in a way I can sleep through things failing without anything breaking.

I don't actually use 2 million DNS queries / month, yet. But if I implemented DNS-based failover and shortened the TTL from the 12 hours I have now to something like 5 minutes? Ya, that'd clear 2 million pretty quickly. ;)
I've encountered advocates of DE consumption previously. No real sense of whether it's legit or bogus, though there seems to be some plausibility. I'd have to look into other sources. Wheaton's credibility based on his other statements isn't great, and dosing and/or specific indications would be useful.

It is helpful to realize that in a pre-industrial society, parasites were very common among humans (and still are in less developed nations), including many introduced via food. Whether or not DE could combat that is arguable, but a regular intake might be argued if you're subject to parasites in your food supply. I'm more in favor of alternatives such as cooking.
