My poker project, what do you think?
Hi guys, what do you think about my poker project, stakerise.com
I find the current staking forums so old-fashioned, complicated and ugly that I'd like to simplify contact and having direct transactions between players and backers. Please sign up if you are interested and we will notify you when ready. If you don't like this idea please tell me why if you don't mind, thanks.
The transmission power of your phone is adjusted based on how well your phone can talk to the cell tower. The harder you make it for the phone, the harder it tries. That translates into a sizzling hot phone in your pocket that has a battery life of one hour.
This looks rather useful. It even seems to be working with a remote server!
However from the issues it seems like this plugin is not being actively maintained :/
>>>The first ones are pretty safe since you know when they're in use and the notification is mostly unbypassable.

Well, no - i was pretty impressed when i read the writeup of a few researchers who where able to circumvent even the LEDs that are dongled into a current path.

I only keep three machines with them, but two are in NYC2. For the July 24th outage they issued a combined 4¢ SLA credit for claimed two hours downtime. For this much worse problem? Nada. I suspect that DO is prioritizing refunds for more lucrative customers and if you're not spending enough you're not going to get anything. I may need to look into moving some stuff over to Ramnode if they've got a NYC location now (Wall Street clients).
> I'm confused. Maybe you posted the wrong link?

No, you're just confused. You mentioned the two statements in that link, but you have only described one. The other statement you referred to is from my original comment.
But a whole lot of scientists (including psychologists) consider the subconscious total bullshit.

One factor that makes Methane not quite as bad as it could be, is it has an atmospheric half-life around 10% of CO2's

So if a lot of Methane does get released into the atmosphere, in a couple of decades most of it will have broken down and disappeared.
Guess I'll stick to wordpress, sounds easier than making an app :)

I used the Altera DE1 in my college EE class a few years ago and am interested in getting back into writing VHDL to help learn more about reverse engineering on a hardware level.

Should I go ahead and get the DE1-SoC since I already have experience with Quartus II or should I go for one of the Spartans (which I know nothing about). If I go with Altera is a DE2 worth the investment (it's 2x the price)?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't seem like responsible disclosure.

The other fact that one of the examples was in 1964 - Singapore only became an independent country in 1965 - probably didn't help either.

It looks interesting, however, I think that a lot of boards in this realm would be better off in starting to go beyond the AVR platform for their ardus. Chips like the Freescale MK20 are about the same price as the atmega328, have had the arduino framework ported to them, and have capabilities like acting as a USB host. The AVR was, and for certain needs still is, a compelling platform, but at the same time, it is starting to severely date itself.

> The earlier comment describes how certain attempts to justify what happened in a particular situation end up exhibiting similar traits.

Here's what that comment said: "A non-technical person will not consider that any different. After all, said automated process was created and deployed by Google engineers, so it's still Google engineers browsing through people's private photos."

But this thread is full of people saying that comparing hashes is not anything like engineers looking at your photos, and most of those people do not have ASDisorders, thus claiming only a person with autism would claim such is wrong.

Great way to hold a constructive discussion.
If the official Twitter app wasn't so bad I would use it. Twitters problem for me is how hard it is to browse its content. Its website has the same problem. I think they need to look more in to how people want to use their service. I'm sure its different for different kind of users. Eg some one following celebrities vs some one folllowing businessses vs some one following politics

>The fact that you had to go back to the 60s to find a similar incident helps the GP's point, not yours.

Not especially. Those riots were huge, vastly influential in the country's history and, according to the GP, non-existent.

They are the reason why the government hyperfocused on "racial harmony" ever since.

>And do you have any supporting evidence for your claim that migrant labourers are any worse off in SG than they would be elsewhere

Are you saying that because they would be killed by horrendously unsafe working conditions in Qatar that they should consider themselves lucky?

>I had believed they were pretty well treated.

No, they are explicitly third class citizens - kept in dormitories, bussed around on the back of trucks, banned from public places when their appearances there becomes 'unsightly'.

They are only treated well compared to Middle Eastern hellholes like Dubai, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

>Wonder how long it would have taken in India.

This is disturbingly similar to the rhetoric made during segregation in 1950s America: "the blacks have it better here than they would back home in Africa. Shut up.".

Ask HN: Anyone tried open-sourcing Business Development?
I built a site for my friend called ReferTutor (http://www.refertutor.com). He is a full-time teacher and part-time tutor himself but can't seem to find time in between his work and family commitments to build the business.

So that got me curious. Has anyone successfully put the Website out there and let whoever can build the business side share revenues if they successfully build the business side? Rather than taking chances and wasting time hoping for a business co-founder who can finally make the sales side work, perhaps open-sourcing a business partner might work?
If your are looking for code to break a C compiler, you can try my tool Quest https://github.com/lindig/quest. It tries to to generate code that shows that a C compiler handles parameter passing wrong. I usually run it in a loop, like here on Mac OS X 10.9.4 witch gcc:

:quest $ gcc --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1

:quest $ while true; do

> gcc -O2 -o foo foo.c
> ./foo || break
> echo -n .
> done

Assertion failed: (b32 == b43), function callee_b0f, file foo.c, line 128.

This means the tool found C code where parameter passing is not compiled properly. It took about 10 seconds to find this. The test case is pretty small:

:quest $ wc foo.c

The generated code that where the assertion checks that parameters are received correctly looks like this:

FTFY
Generally sensible, but a few things seem already fixed.

The duplicate argument thing already generates a warning (I wish warnings were enabled by default though):

# let f x x = x;;
Warning 27: unused variable x.
val f : 'a -> 'b -> 'b = <fun>

"Values of type string and bytestring are not mutable." In 4.02, strings can be made immutable (it's optional currently, to avoid breaking existing code).

Camlp4 is already on the way out, being replaced by Extension Points.

Rather than adding checked exceptions, I'd rather just see more use of variants in the standard library (3rd-party libraries mainly do this already). I don't see why checked exceptions should be faster - maybe this is just a compiler optimisation problem?
Troubadr, I have not downvoted you, but this being HN, I can tell you from experience that the tone of writing here is as important as your logic/idea. Your comments in this thread, although not fundamentally wrong or incongruous, appear to the readers as off-hand, drive-by commenting that one could get away with on Reddit or some random blog's comment thread. I would be very surprised if you put forth your ideas and arguments in a more lucid, fleshed-out manner and still face the same unpleasant downvoting.

Isn't that "differentiation"?
With due respect, "I had to turn on my VPN to read this article and post this comment" is overstating. I understand that you may feel like you should only read/post with the aid of a VPN : However, having lived in the US for quite a while before arriving in SG, I think you're overestimating the reality of American's Freedom of Speech (for non-US persons). Both of us are foreign nationals w.r.t. the USA NSA. So they're legally free (under US law, as I understand it) to monitor, store and correlate all our communications (particularly since we're meeting at an end-point in the USA).

Except that generations differ from each other in both behaviour and values. Moreover cultures differ from each other in both behavior and values.

When you make a test on American 18-20 years old, you may be learning something universal about humans or you may be learning something special about products of current American educational system. Perception and social behavior of current American 18-20 may seem universal to someone who is American 18-20 or close to them, but not necessary when you come from different culture.

Many of those studies try to measure how much you are influenced by something you read/heard ten minutes ago, how much likely you are to cooperate/compete in some special situation etc. Are you claiming that these reactions are necessary universal?

I strongly recommend Cypress PSoC3 and PSoC5 if your budget is tight and you want to achieve the blazing fast speed of FPGA within a tight budget. I implemented Wavelet Transform with de-noising scheme, a classifier model to match against that Wavelet Transform, and a RMS machine, all in hardware, all in that small PSoC3 chip. Magic.
I thought this was a good Cliff's notes style summary of MinHash. Thanks for posting it, Matt.

It looks like your intro paragraph has some people here on HN convinced that you hate math... might want to change that.

Of course the Ullman chapter is also pretty readable, and if you have the patience for 50-some pages, there's a lot more detail and rigor there.
A person can strongly want drugs to be legalised, and still be concerned about potential problems from drugs.

It's possible that cannabis has a causative connection to some psychotic illnesses. It seems reasonable that cannabis can trigger underlying illness, or exacerbate existing illness. So while I am strongly in favour of legalising drugs I am still concerned about possible harms from cannabis.

Researching this is difficult. Partly because cannabis is illegal and thus recruiting subjects is fraught with ethical difficulties, but also because we need very many years to research. EDIT: 1996 isn't even 20 years ago.
Some trivia: Bravo, the first WYSIWYG word processor, was developed by Butler Lampson and Charles Simonyi at PARC. Simonyi left PARC in 1981 to join Microsoft and led the Word and Excel projects.
There are various interests in play, but what prompted the movement was the idea that ISPs were going to start billing websites to provide unrestricted access to their customers and invert the web. That idea was nearly universally condemned online and the first few people who came up to name a movement contrary to that called it net neutrality and started trying to come up with principles to fit what had horrified so many people.

So the basic idea behind it is that ISPs shouldn't be able to indirectly charge content providers by threatening to block or restrict their content when it's requested by the ISPs customers. In other words, ISPs have no legitimate business meddling with other peoples' businesses, but different people have different ideas about what it is or isn't now.
You can sure model pretty much anything without knowing internal variables and complexities of the system. In fact that's the entire premise of the field learning from data. Of course you need good quality data and in sufficient quantity.

Your model will almost never be perfect but you can evaluate confidence intervals by using part of the past data (training set) and making prediction for events that is not included in that data (test set) and find out how good is your model. This process is scattered with land mines. People frequently end up overfitting or do not take in to account variability trends or power laws or possible "black swans". So all such models you want to take with grain of salt in any case.

For this particular case, I don't think we have enough data yet to make predictions with significant confidence. From past epidemics in same region, it will very likely that this will end without getting out of control. One of the big deal about current strain is that it doesn't manifest symptoms until 1-3 weeks which gives plenty of time for virus to spread.

One should never discount the power of power law. We are safe only until tipping point is not researched. I think that tipping point is about 10,000 infected people in a city. If this happens, it would take extreme measures to prevent spread (something like completely isolating entire countries). But by that time, virus might have already escaped elsewhere.

I think it's a question of defaults. The null hypothesis is that it won't lead to blight, violence, and widespread addiction for the same reason that most other stuff doesn't. Those fears, as the article puts it, are imaginary (though they were shrilly predicted by legalization's opponents). In other words, the bar here isn't "good evidence that legalization isn't harmful to society" but rather, "a lack of good evidence that it isn't".

You can see from this chart[0] that the item disappeared down the rankings at pretty much exactly the same time you said that. So if you didn't kill the item, did you apply a penalty? Doing anything that takes the item off the front page - especially when it's already off the "newest" page - is pretty much equivalent to killing it.
