Why we can’t wage war on drugs
I know I read an article about 2 years ago saying that more was being made. Now I have to find it.

EDIT Got it! http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n1303/20pu238/#.U9qX5fldX... The date is six before the other story.

"For the first time in 25 years, the United States is producing plutonium fuel to power spacecraft on missions beyond Earth, replenishing a dwindling stockpile to supply NASA's next Mars rover and other proposed probes."
Mailjet security incident (July 30th, 2014)
This was a great read. You know what fraudsters search for ? Vulnerable PHP web sites and sites with anonymous logins. Its kind of amazing. I would imagine that if you could take all of these signals and geo-track them back to the originating IP you would be able to illuminate fraud tolerant ISPs[1], and fraud schemes and targets. Sure its a big data problem but it seems imminently tractable if local vendors provide fraud detection data to central source.

[1] You could notify ISPs of their hosting fraudlent traffic and if they continue to host it ...
Perhaps I'm wrong but I feel you've either (1) missed the point or (2) haven't actually looked at the references. Everything is written in a high-level language and the VM is an artefact produced as a result of the process (you don't debug on the VM, you debug the code that generated it).
It's insane how massive the financial aid discrepency is between a family with kids aged 18+20 (expected contribution = 50% each) vs a family with kids aged 18+22 (expected contribution = 100% each)
It has 100GB+ of image files and handles pretty heavy traffic volume from web crawlers alone because it has something like 5 million pages covering 2 million or so data items. I need a hefty MySQL instance to back it because

(i) I need to have fast response time for the site to be usable
(ii) The database is horribly bloated (maybe 80% of the table mass doesn't have to be there)
(iii) The physical instance of the database isn't as optimized as it could be

An optimized system would cost a lot less to run. It's plausible that better monetization could make the site break even now, but if I could lower the cost per image by a 3x-10x factor I might be able to put more images in (there are another 50 million or so I can grab) and maybe drive up traffic but really I haven't done it because I've been pursuing other deals that have better expectation values.

Also from an ops perspective it is a wooden round, I only have to make an editorial change once a week and something goes wrong with it technologically less than once in six months. In theory I could delete a bunch of database columns and the system might keep cruising, but it might come crashing down and cost $1000's in billable time to make right.
The other thing that got me very curious is how did a monk develop heart disease. I mean he must have been very very active and probably eating healthy.
>Habit #2: Fraudsters Are Night Owls

Are they using local time? Or is there a chance that they are not accounting for the fact that most of the fraudsters are foreign and in a different time zone?
It seems worth pointing out that the last 75% of the text you quote amounts to saying "we couldn't document these risks, but we'd like to warn you about them anyway". The first part links mold to (1) symptoms you'll recognize if you have them, in healthy people, and (2) asthma, in people with asthma. This is not a strong case for environmental mold being dangerous.
Why?

EDIT:

There is openly aggressive moderation going on, which is well-documented.

If you want these changes, you need to better articulate why they are a good idea, and what they'd improve. Democracy for its own sake is bullshit.
Awesome app, really clean and simple!
We used the Stanford NLP library with their training data set which is considered to be one of the better ones. I did notice false negatives as well but it can definitely be trained to be more accurate.

And Stripe got their USD 3M loan repaid in 2% of the pre-mined stellars, valuating the whole pre-mined lot at USD 150M. How did they arrive at this number?
The +Pool has been one of my favorite projects to follow. When I think about the most compelling kickstarter marketing efforts, it always springs to mind. I'm always encouraged to hear about their progress. It's hard to believe just how filthy the East River is. :(
Wow those are three highly politicized choices. I'd like to say they balance each other out, but Roemer is really an R, and acted like one when he was a D in LA. When Bush's Ethics Czar is the moderate of the bunch there are issues.

I have to say that while I know it's difficult to find people qualified for such a job who don't have huge political ties, it's disappointing to see such heavily biased people be on a committee to make decisions like that.
Yep, for sure. The goal is to get stellars into the hands of as many people as possible, and so moving beyond just FB is definitely a priority. (If you want, I'd be happy to send you a few stellar to play with in the meanwhile.)
From what I've seen, it looks like it's not quite working. As far as I can tell, it takes a range of numbers, picks something random in between, and calls it a day. Most of those themes that I saw make me want to hire a designer because they look like something I could do myself (and I am awful at design).

I think the issue is that your machine learning doesn't seem to know what goes together and what doesn't. It may focus in on a small subset, but then it mixes and matches elements that don't go together. Like it's not seeing the whole picture, more it's taking certain elements from 'good pages' and jumbling them all up. If it randomly produces a good design, how are you sure that it's not an exact copy of one of the training designs?

I know some phd's here in the states... it's not much better. Seriously.

Lots of back scratching that goes on behind closed doors and lots of bogus papers that re-use old results or "recombine" old data in order to get funding for an actual project... really a lot of hogwash and bad science.

Nothing directly to cause fraud where I am tho. Tho I'm sure some publications are better about that than others.
Why of course? Since when has the existence/linking of an FB account to some other service been the only way to get more free Stellars? And who said, a Stellar has a real value other than being pre-mined bits and bytes?
OK, early memories are commonly not retained, but parent specifically claimed they're not formed, which is ludicrous. Ask a speaking child what happened last week and they'll tell you. Show a non-speaking infant something with a result they should be able to predict, and they'll be surprised if that result doesn't happen.

Memories from your 30s are also commonly not retained, but I don't hear anyone saying 35-year-olds can't form memories.
That's why they said it's only one of many signals one should look for, and not to block transactions on that symptom alone.
Summer's a Time to Relax. Except Hardly Anyone Does
A friend and I in our early teens would purchase games for our C64 computers. This was a time before store return policies prevented getting your money back. The games were always on 5-1/4" floppies. We would attempt to crack the copy protection via purchased cracking software, or our own cobbled-together scripts. We wanted a copy for ourselves. This would usually work, and we would then return the game, with some lame excuse like "we bought the wrong one".

Sometimes, we couldn't crack the game. As a last resort, we would gently peel the game sticker off the store floppy, and glue it on an blank floppy. We would go back to the store, and say "uhh...this game doesn't work". They would give us our money back - rarely with any resistance.

We would then walk to the game section and pick out another game.

Muahahah.

I'm not a psychologist, so I won't comment on the _why_, but veterans have an extremely high suicide rate. http://www.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pressrelease.cfm?id=2427 (the PDF link has the data)

> Of the 147,763 suicides reported in 21 states, 27,062 (18.3%)
> were identified as having history of U.S. military service
> on death certificates

This article has some discussion on how this data is hard to collect: http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/21/us/22-veteran-suicides-a-day/

From that article:

> A recent analysis by News21, an investigative multimedia
> program for journalism students, found that the annual
> suicide rate among veterans is about 30 for every 100,000
> of the population, compared with the civilian rate of 14 per

I'd expect that after a war, you have a new population of people in this particular high-risk group...
Combining =index() and =match() seems to be less computationally intensive than =vlookup() -- give it a shot.

I've had entire days spent copying formulas down 5000 rows (x20-50 cols), copy, paste-values, and repeat. Can't wait to try this out, just signed up for the beta.

Another thought -- as someone who runs windows on a VM on my mac almost purely for excel purposes, this could enable me to go 100% mac. The biggest downfall to mac's excel seems to be a computation engine that's far behind the windows version.
Spam handling is all about weights. Attachment? I won't block you for that, but I'll give you a point. Valid domain? I won't accept you for that, but I'll subtract a half point.

Then at the end you throw the message away if the sum total of the points passes some threshold "X"

Counting digits in an envelope sender would just be one more metric.

I do some blacklisting, but 99% of the time blacklisting on one fuzzy metric is seen as extremely bad practice in mail.

What if we had online courses where the best educators in the world created interactive training material. Schools still exist and students are required to come to classes where they go through the training material. The staff simply enforces discipline. Students can mail in questions to elite people in the field and use college simply as a networking arena.
I think a lot of it is that Adobe's UIs have gotten so relentlessly fucked-up. They have their own cross-platform UI toolkit that always feels just a little wrong. And they keep on making things worse; the latest release of AI, for instance, has a truly horrible new font dropdown menu due to their desire to integrate a 'buy fonts on Typekit' button into what once worked quickly and elegantly.

This is a pretty interesting move. Google has started offering domain names [1] in beta, but with my experience with their support I don't plan on using it.

Pricing is a big part of domains for me and AWS pricing seems a bit high to me. I'm also not sure on if whois privacy is offered or included? If it was then the domain price would be fine. I noticed a Route53 zone is included, but is it included in the price or costs additional? I had a domain with low traffic and it was $6/year just for DNS hosted zone so if it was included in the domain price I would probably move all of my domains, though whois privacy is still a big concern.

For the past few years I've been moving to Hover ($15) and then lately Badger ($10) as it is cheaper, but they both have whois privacy bundled in with the domain price as I think it is an important service. I previously worked on and maintained a domain registrar so these hit pretty close to home, but I'm still not really happy with any solution. It seems Amazon's model of getting pricing lower didn't really come through with this new offering just comparing to the current market.

Could hosted email be the next big thing AWS introduces? With as many people who are frustrated by lack of good options (Google Apps) it could be an interesting next stage for AWS (App Hosting, Domain Registrations, and Email Hosting), then I don't know what will happen to traditional hosting providers, but I think they will be trying to figure out how to stay relevant.

A while ago I really wanted to build a bot farm, not to do anything particular malicious (farm reddit upvotes and push content to the front page).

Now this post feels like its encouraging me too.
Disclaimer: I have no stats to back this up, at all. Just been in the game awhile.

The entry level commerce space (shopify, opencart, woocommerce, etc) always feels overcrowded, but few things really nail it.

Opencart is the only truly free service that's a contender, and it's terrible. Granted - ecommerce, especially security, is very difficult, and asking for that in a free product is lofty.

If you can build a commerce platform that's as low-investment as opencart (read: free) with the UX quality of shopify, and just let it into the wild, you can make an absolute killing by owning the plugin and template market associated.
FWIW, Peter Landin sowed the seeds in "Mechanical Evaluation of Expressions" in 1964 in his description of recursive discriminated union for lists:

A list is either null
or else has a head (h)
and a tail (t) which is a list.

Rod Burstall picked up on this in "Proving Properties of Progams by Structural Induction" (1968) in an extension to Landin's ISWIM that used pattern matching on these. If you look closely the pattern matching was present in his if-then-else syntax, but he changed it to the more convenient "case".
Ask HN: What do you think of the current state of professional networking?
My trust in HN has dropped significantly since this censorship became so comprehensive.
So it's specifically the separation of the check and the action? I totally agree this is undesirable; I understood "boolean blindness" to be closer to "bare primitive types lack meaning", specialized to Bool.

“But Macnamara and her colleagues found that practice explained 12 percent in mastering skills in various fields, from music, sports and games to education and professions. The importance of practice in various areas was: 26 percent for games, 21 percent for music, 18 percent for sports, 4 percent for education and less than 1 percent for other professions.”

This is just stupid. Suppose I take a test to see how many pairs of three digit numbers I can multiply correctly in one minute. Then I practice multiplying three digit numbers for one hour twice a day for two weeks. Then I take the test again. How much will I improve? 100%, 200%, 1,000%? How close will I be to having “mastered” the skill of multiplying three digit numbers? Is 28 hours enough? Maybe I am just not able to master a skill that is so difficult to master. Let’s suppose I’ve got the right stuff and I am able to master this particular skill. Now convince me that practice explains only 12 percent of my success!

In Ballard there are two. I'm specifically talking about Leary between Market and the 15th Ave overpass, but Market itself is quite the same way east of 15th.

Even in the case of normal 2 lane roads, drivers here still act like pedestrians do not have the right to cross anywhere but a crosswalk (and some don't even respect the crosswalk), and it only gets worse with 3 and 4 lane roads because that is where the drivers tend to drive significantly over the speed limit.

And yes, I do consider it reasonable to expect cars to stop for pedestrians in all scenarios where pedestrians have the right of way. A 5 block detour to cross the street can add another 15 minutes to your quick trip...what would happen if the situation were reversed? Can you imagine the outrage that would happen if cars had to drive 15 minutes out of their way? Slowing down for 5 seconds to let someone walk across the street is a miniscule inconvenience in comparison.
You're wrong. Elliott didn't give Argentina anything that it wants returned. The company just waited for the moment to buy bonds for almost nothing from the real creditors with the bet "if we get it on court, we win big, if we lose, we lose a little."

From the same article:

"Legal filings indicate that the face value of its Argentine government bonds was around $170 million, but the firm most likely acquired many of them for much less than that. Elliott and other investors are now seeking more than $1.5 billion, which includes years of unpaid interest."

Elliott just blackmails Argentina to extract many times more than it would otherwise be reasonable (without the blackmail condition).

heh, yeah I mean I'm on the top floor so I don't hear anyone walking around but I do feel bad for the people under me when I drop things. Maybe brooklyn is a different beast, I have friends that live in queens that are shocked when they come to parties in brooklyn that we don't get noise complaints (we are subsequently shocked that they are shocked). Perhaps the loudness of my neighborhood drowns out the sounds of my neighbors?
Off-topic, but why do traditional print companies always stubbornly insist on ignoring the fundamental differences between print and web media?

Getting consumer ISPs to respond to obvious abuse cases (DDOS attacks) is very difficult. Getting them to respond to fraud (which they'd have to investigate more then looking at a bandwidth graph) seems impossible.

Now throw a language barrier on top, and it's even more difficult.

Hell, getting accurate abuse contact information is a project all by itself.

I think we mostly agree.

I would note that when I'm dealing with tagged unions in C, as soon as the operation gets at all complicated (more than maybe 3 lines?) I try to pass it off to another function operating on the internal value which restores safety outside the boilerplate. I agree that support for a true tagged union is ideal, though. (Actually, this might make a good attribute in GCC...)
Move fast, this one will blow over quick: Ebola supplies/starter kits, either self-assembled (highest effort, high margin) or just stacks of amazon products with referrals (low effort, low margin).
