The only difference between science and screwing around is writing it down.

You can be trained as an archivist. You can get a Masters and a PhD in archival practice. There are industry-standard procedures and codes of ethics. There's a very specific understanding of what is important to save, how to save it, and how to document its context and its provenance.

That's why the Internet Archive requires a certain fidelity of capture (WARCs) that a screenshot service or a citation tool don't provide.

That's also why they are legally a library. Libraries have particular copyright exemptions for preservation. A typical person doesn't. But you generally have the right to make backups for your own use, and so you can also donate those backups.

It's like if you were a famous person, and you bought a newspaper and a book, and when you died your personal effects were donated to your alma mater who put on a big exhibit of your life and times, that newspaper (your backup of the original that lives in the hard drives of the publisher) and that book (your backup of the original that some author wrote) are there, too. No-one's conferring any rights to the content; the publisher still owns the newspaper, and the author still owns the book, but that was your copy that is now available for everyone to see.

I wouldn't write off the shuttle so quickly. It flew 100+ missions, brought up the Hubble and helped fix it, brought up parts of the ISS, etc. Sure it didn't get past low earth orbit but it did a lot of great stuff.
I'm not sure I understand this. Just because I buy/sell a domain in 2014, that doesn't give me the right to retroactively change what was there in 2007.

Would like to hear more about the basis for such a policy, whose only use case seems like censorship of the past, which Archive is clearly not aligned with.

Every article about Uber, Lyft, and electric vehicles ends up with the majority of the comments saying something along the lines of, "This is stupid because it doesn't fit my situation."

For what is usually such an open-minded group of individuals it seems as if personal transportation is the topic where that open-mindedness doesn't extend.

(Though that might be true for the population as a whole--gas prices is a legitimate political issue.)
Can somebody give me some recommendations on how to do this with encryption? I am fine sshing into my server and putting in a password after reboot.
We didn't have computers to do static analysis or form-finding. Construction with new materials was necessarily conservative.

Concrete (or cement in this case) is hardly a new material. The method of assembly is, and the fact remains that this tech has the potential to do amazing things. I'm not sure what this Disney recreation is trying demonstrate.

Now that the difficult challenge of getting the device working has been met, I hope the inventor will tackle more...for instance, how does the device actually create an enclosure.
I missed the livestreams due to opposite timezones. Are there archives of the videos? Can't seem to find the button on hitbox.
This is one of those classic internet stories. I assume originally from Usenet. Laughed when I read it 10 years ago on Slashdot, and again today.

Here's looking at you, ten-years-from-now tech website that will be sharing this with a whole new group of faces!
The bit about selling her soul seemed a bit contrived. They don't have to be the applicants' stories, but they don't have to be the ghostwriter's story either -- once it's no longer a true story for the applicant, whether it's your story or total fiction seems irrelevant.

The part about interviewing the applicants made me wonder whether there is any fact checking of essays, or whether there will be in the future. The story about being poor and having your clothes stolen from a laundromat is a real tearjerker, but if the admissions officer knows that you're the child of China's 99th richest business magnate, I doubt it would help.
The big question then is how do they make out in real life afterwards compared to their honest brothers & sisters who also entered those same colleges and compared to those that didn't make the cut because of them.

At a guess, they'll do better in life than the ones that didn't make it but not as good as the ones that were honest and made it but I have zero proof for that. It's just that they will get some of the benefits from these colleges but not all of them while the group that didn't make it gets none.
"If your app doesn’t offer much functionality or content, or only applies to a small niche market, it may not be approved."

This reason is a bit vague. Shouldn't "Yo" (and other clones) be rejected under this criteria? If not, what's the boundary then?
Ask HN: How much of a visual learner are you?
Hi HN,

I've found that it's difficult for me to process spoken words and translate them into concepts I understand. When asked a question about anything remotely non-trivial, I often struggle with understanding the content of the question until I write the spoken words down. Further, I have a much greater shot at quickly processing and retaining the content if I draw or utilize a visual. I can retain visual concepts for years, while non-visual concepts fade away much sooner.

If a presentation or discussion is accompanied by visuals, I still have trouble. I believe this to be because much of the content, in these contexts, is still verbal. The visuals are used to assist with, rather than fully replace, the spoken word.

My current conclusion is that I am much more of a purely visual learner than most. Does any of the above ring true for others?

If it does, how have you optimized for this learning style?

If not, how does your learning style differ from this?
IMO with a consultant, you aren't passing someone else's work off as your own, which is the truly dishonest part.

Soliciting help, even if it is for pay, is not against the rules to my memory. I know I had friends and family read my essays.
> People have been building on top of the axiomatic foundation that you outlined for decades. This is old news.

Yup, essentially since Kolmogorov's 1933 paper.

The axiomatic approach I gave is just what is used in Breiman's Probability, as published by SIAM. It's a super nicely written book. I have never seen his book on statistics.
Thanks for the thorough description. Could we simplify this by replacing the beacons with a sticker that says "if found email DS7-4BD-62A@lostfound.org" and the rest of the flow begin through email? Much lower barriers with almost all of the same results.

Glad that everyone seems to agree with me!

The problem with these setups is that: 'There Are Many Ways To Do It'(tm), and: 'You Really Need To Test For Your Use-Case'(tm). I need to read and understand everything to decide what's best in my case. And then you need to write a lot of scripts, do a lot of time-consuming testing, and document everything.

Most of Europe has created a society based on this principle, that our society is better for all of us if we accept that a minimum standard of health care and education is essentially available to all. It isn't without its problems, but by and large it works well, and creates decent social mobility.

I am not sure why this is directed towards China. There are certainly more Americans paying Americans to write their essays every semester.

EDIT: Oh Fucking ??, guys what is up with the downvotes? This is just idiotic.
If you disagree, voice it. It's ok, perhaps I am mistaken, enlighten me. But downvoting without giving a comment is like telling me I am wrong without giving me a direction.
"You wouldn't laugh at someone who was going the wrong direction if you could correct them, would you?"
Lord!
Now as far as the this article, paying for someone to write essays is not particular to China. I did this for some people. IN. THE. US. People do this for others in other countries. The article could have still held its value without the Chinese part. It sounds condescending.
The thing that impresses me the most about the shuttle is that it was designed in the mid 60's, built in the 70's/80's, and flew 100+ missions to space over ~30 years. I have a car that was built in the mid-80's and barely trust driving it a few thousand miles a year without it breaking down. I can't imagine what it took to keep the shuttles flying to space for so long without more major accidents.

PR isn't done on a piece basis unless it's really low rent, in which case it's not worth however little you spend. Normally there's a retainer of some sort into the considerable thousands of dollars. A typical press release including working with the client on messaging and getting supporting quotes, etc. probably costs into the thousands.
Not really. Or, maybe not at all. But I am 49 and also had a medical crisis that involved taking a whole bunch of meds. So my memory is not what it used to be.

Not a bad idea. We would typically use _onClick for any component handler methods, so the _ would distinguish it. We have an internal transform that mangles anything in a module starting with _ so that it cannot be accessed outside.

I think that economics leads to a different view on greed and selfishness, that the author should try to understand rather than talk down to us and force us out of our bad thinking patterns with re-education.

According to economics, all people are selfish (or self-interested if you prefer an less loaded term). How then can we make the world better when we are only interested in ourselves?

First, economics shows that in many cases, all individuals working for their own interests works as well as if everyone cared only about the common good. This is the first and second welfare theorems of economics.

Second, to the extend that we are altruistic, we should focus that altruism in an efficient way. For example, giving to someone slightly less wealthy than yourself is less efficient than giving to someone a lot less wealthy than yourself. And altruism exists not just in giving money, but also donating time and effort to maintaining the social institutions that benefit all of us. Given my experience with economists, they may actually be more altruistic when measured this way. And a rational person might choose to engage in the latter kind of altruism, while giving zero dollars to charity, since they already "give" money through the tax system.

Finally, given all of the above, economists tend to allow themselves the freedom not to feel altruistic. From a utilitarian perspective, what is needed is not so much more altruism, but more efficient use of people's existing altruistic feelings.
> even flawless logical derivation cannot produce any useful information about the world.

This is the analytic-synthetic dichotomy that derives from Kant's false theory of concepts and I reject it. I won't argue the point as my comments are for the Aristotelians in the audience not the Kantians.
Absolutely! It is really hard to write idiomatic code your first time through with a framework. No need to feel silly at all. No way I would have spotted these things if I hadn't been using React every day for the past year or so!
Ask HN: Advice on structuring and pricing my work
A few months ago I graduated from school and took a marketing job at a technology company. Hired primarily to build out paid media efforts, I've pretty much become the owner of all technical marketing stuffz due to previous programming experience and ongoing miscommunications with our development team.

In the process I've gained a number of marketable skills such as A/B testing, tag management, marketing automation systems, user tracking/analytics, and conversion optimization, etc. Through unsolicited referrals I've received several clients for moonlighting work. These started out small and easy enough to price, such as auditing the existing PPC accounts for local businesses, building out a few landing pages, or implementing a drip marketing system. But the jobs I've been getting recently are a lot less straightforward and require a combination of SEM consulting, business coaching, and minor development work to implement everything.

I really like where my projects have been heading lately, but I'm running into an issue pricing and structuring my services. For pure PPC work, I'd charge a flat-fee for an initial account audit or keyword research and then an ongoing percentage of spend for maintenance and optimization. With CPA targets to protect the client, this has been really successful and resulted in a realized hourly rate of ~$100. This doesn't fit for my more recent projects, so I've used that hourly rate to come up with project-based pricing with a detailed SOW.

This has killed my consulting work. Several commented on my age and experience not being in line with my rates, but existing PPC clients seeking additional work had no hesitation about the value of my work before they were aware of what it translated to per-hour. Is what I'm charging unreasonable? Is there a way to hide my hourly rate, or a title I can market my services under that can help justify it?
I imagine this guideline is probably just used as a barrier to apps with no real functionality, to stop people submitting "Hello World" apps and the like.
> 'Concrete' implies the use of gravel.

Really? Concrete to me implies a mix of cement and aggregates, and he's using sand as the aggregate.

You raise an interesting point: Cement is the expensive part and you lower cost by using bigger aggregates.

A mostly cement house is, environmentally, pretty horrific.

Indeed. TinyScheme being a single file of C code hides this fact at a first glance. I didn't want to diminish Lua, which I find quite good too (I wish LuaJIT was usable on iOS), but I was really looking forward to dive into Lisp.
When all you have is the ability to construct solutions, but no knowledge of solutions that came before you, you'll spend your life inventing wheels.
I was speaking to the author (Tatsuo Ishii) around the reliability of PGPool-II when you did not have complete control over your SQL, he made it clear that if you cannot control what kinds of SQL is and isn't run from the application you and I quote "I will suggest you avoid pgpool-II.", He also noted that "Pgpool-II does not handle multi statements query very well" so pretty much count yourself out of using PGPool if you're using any multi-statement queries which is at least in our case a great deal of our SQL.
Yeah, you're right ;)
> they'll do better in life than the ones that didn't make it but not as good as the ones that were honest and made it

If this is true, then less-than-deserving children will have successfully used their parents' wealth to artificially improve their station in life. Which means that our higher education system is helping to perpetuate class divides (even though it claims to be greatly interested in not doing so).
We ran our development server cluster from my basement on that type of 100 Mbps for a few years. It works.
Yo was rejected. The other (bigger?) problem with the approval process having guidelines like this is that you can just play CSR roulette and keep submitting it until you find somebody that approves it, which is, I suspect, what the Yo people did in the mysteriously-light-on-detail "fought it", given that there's no substantive way to fight App Store rejections.

Sure, you have to increment the version number, but you don't have to make any real substantive change.

What were the consequences for education? The court said that rich kids and poor kids must have equal education, and rich californians decided to take their kids' education private to avoid paying toneducate poor kids. It exposed the selfishness of wealthy folk, but didn't make anyone's education worse
I do, because I have managed to not do one single thing that I wrote. Some I knew were half-truths when I wrote them, some I had to give up because my interests changed between applying and starting MS (which is an almost one-year gap, in the final year of your undergrad), and I changed specializations.
Yup, we don't need fast floating point - this just acting as an RMQ provider for some analog sensors.

What we do need are boards with much better manufacturing QA/QC than Raspberry Pi. After the nth time the USB 5V falls out, or the SD reader loses contact, you rapidly realize they're not targeted towards a production environment. As inexpensive and powerful as possible is a great goal, but you invariably lose some reliability ("pick two").

Most people who live in society disagree with you. Are you a hermit?
Segregation never went away. I grew up in Fairfax County, VA, in the 1990's. While in theory desegregation occurred in 1964, I can't remember a single black student in any of my classes until 8th grade.

It's not just local policy. Society itself is racist at a pretty fundamental level. The government made de jure segregation illegal, but all that happened was an exodus from the racially mixed cities into racially segregated suburbs. When people can't achieve segregation by moving to a particular zip code, they look for other ways to do so. Check out the city-data.com forums sometime: http://www.city-data.com/forum/#u-s-forums. You'll quickly run across the codewords ("ghetto" or "urban").

When peoples' kids are involved, the pretense of tolerance evaporates and everyone just wants to avoid sending ended up in a predominantly black or hispanic school district. Why else would student racial demographics be featured prominently, in graphical form, on the front page of each school profile in the DC public school system (http://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/Barnard+Elementary+School) and Chicago (http://cps.edu/Schools/Find_a_school/Pages/findaschool.aspx)?
Bringing up parts to the ISS doesn't count. It's done even less for science than the Shuttle. :-)

Richard Feynman expressed great scepticism about the Shuttle, and its scientific value. In his books he writes how he never came across a single scientific paper that referenced it -- check out the chapter titled "Committing Suicide" of "What do you care what other people think?".
I've got some external hard drives that I rotate in and store off-site but still nearby (down the street) for some data. I also have constant online backups running to various locations/services (Linode, AWS, CrashPlan, Dreamhost, some private services). I don't backup everything, only the irreplacable personal data (so, I'm not backing up Wikipedia dumps); at current count, at most 6TiB of the data is irreplacable.
While the college consultants certainly increased the number of such students, such students have always existed, at least in the past couple of decades.

I myself can't say that 100% of my extracurricular activities were free from wanting to look good for college applications. My GPA was definitely boosted by my somewhat misplaced desire to get into the best university I could possibly get into, rather than through a pure passion for learning. I totally kissed a teacher's butt in one class because 20% of the grade in that class was "participation", and was entirely based on how much said teacher liked you (she was subsequently let go -- private school). I sold my soul in order to get an A in that class.

And I'm definitely not an isolated case.
Completely defeated by the interface. I have no idea if my scrolling had any effect on the position of anything, or how and why anything was playing, stopping, or advancing.
Freedom is not a rhetorical device as you charge. It is an important social principle with a specific meaning and how we understand social issues. By your method the fundamental principles of physics like causality or conservation of energy, etc. would be "mere" rhetorical tricks not means of understanding the world.
> The big question then is how do they make out in real life afterwards

I'm amazed this question is being asked. It's obvious that bullshitters do well.
Legacy admissions (which is alive and well at my alma mater) definitely helps to perpetuate this as well.
Well, your car cost a few thousand dollars. The shuttle cost a lot more. :-) I don't think it's a fair comparison.
I've got some external hard drives that I rotate in and store off-site but still nearby (down the street) for some data.

I don't backup everything, only the irreplacable personal data (so, I'm not backing up Wikipedia dumps); at current count, at most 6TiB of the data is irreplacable. I also prioritize, so even out of that data, the absolute most important data is backed up more often, to more locations, and the less important data is backed up to fewer locations.
