Facebook is for narcissistic people to post made up stories about their daily life to gain social acceptance, because they have no real friends.

After multiple "how to make friends" posts in HN, this has become more and more obvious.

Nowadays I value my real friends more and more.
No doubt. That could be a whole article by itself.

I track a lot of metrics and keep a custom dashboard that I can look at any time to see how things are going long-term/short-term/real-time.
It's important to also note that they have killed four of the main illustrators of the paper. It will be very hard for them to overcome that.

However, the others french papers are trying to help the redaction, so maybe Charlie will live.

If you are hysteric about things like these then just don't use your own IP. Supposedly it's not difficult to buy a VPS with bitcoin. And really, pumping money into such businesses is a greater contribution to enduring internet anonymity than running Freenet.
There are a number of different antibiotic class currently in development (in clinical trials already). This certainly isn't the "end of a drought".

I think the idea behind that is it would prevent further resistance building against existing drugs.
In fairness, I think the main reason rum is considered a mixing component is because it's been that way for 200-something years. You'd have to go back to the Age of Sail to find an era when rum was widely considered a standalone drink. (And even then, it was often watered down or mixed with something.)

The global rum market is dominated by a handful of huge beverage companies, all of whom have historically marketed their rum as a mixer. The two forces working to counter this image are the small-batch importers and the internet rum-aficionado community. In time, they may prove successful.

I will say this much, at least: there has never been a wider selection of great rum so readily available in the United States in my lifetime. Anyone whose opinion of rum has been colored by the paint thinner that Bacardi puts out should consider a bottle of Diplomatico, or aged Flor de Cana. The prices and quality go up from there, but for my money, those are some very good and very approachable sipping rums.
Sorry your experience was bad. All I can suggest is that other bootcamps may be better than GA?

At Hack Reactor, the instructors never shied away from CS fundamentals. For example, less than two weeks into the course, my partner and I wrote an N-Queens Solver in Javascript, using bitwise logic. We even got it to work in multiple threads using Web Workers. We wrote about it here: http://dsernst.com/2014/12/22/nqueens/

I'm loving my experience so far, and couldn't recommend it more highly.

Well what if those decades were your childhood?

That's unfortunate, but luckily a lot of the damage that we do to our bodies can be reversed. No matter where you are, you're almost certainly better off if you start eating right, exercising, etc., today.

As others have said, seek medical advice if you think it's necessary. If your health is so bad that you think you aren't capable of working out and what-not, get a medical professional involved if possible.

And consider that "working out" doesn't necessarily mean going to a gym, wearing weird clothes, doing crazy contortions, lifting weights, etc. I can be as simple as walking 30 minutes around your neighborhood.

The sentence is pretty clear:

Not sure what you are construing.

The Earthport deal is much bigger anyway because it is addressing an area for which there is no existing infrastructure, international payments.
Great story! I'm also extremely curious as to how it started to gain traction.

I'm wondering if it has to do with where the site appeared in search results. For example if Google changed their algorithm or if perhaps your web host somehow changed something?

Do you remember when it started to gain traction?
NSA does what the do because lawmakers told them to and gave them the money -- you cannot separate these two sides of the problem.

There are many ways to break SSL, the easiest, cheapest and most in tune with the present progression towards police-states is to legislate key-escrow.

If this actually did get to market, it wouldn't be used broadly. Doctors and hospital already follow antibiotic stewardship policies that would limit drugs like this last-line uses.
This is cool because once you realise that you can break habits, you realise you can also form them too.

Habits are about frequency and ritual. Thus I can use the same process to start good habits that make me a better more effective person.

Yes. If it takes 30 years for this drug to become resistant, but 5 or 10 for other antibiotics... then a sound strategy is to use the long-lasting drug, and save the drugs with a shorter lifespan as second, or third tier. This will slow the development of resistance, so they will last longer, and we'll have a broader range of working antibiotics at any given time. Which means more infections successfully treated, and more lives saved. Win!

The Juan Cole article is easily the best thing I've read so far, but I still don't think HN would produce any useful discussion about it.

> Send one communication saying "your bot is clearly throwing up false positives; take action to investigate & remediate, ceasing all bot usage until implemented". Now they're aware / can't claim lack of knowledge.

Yes, they can. The fact that someone made that claim about the reliability of the process doesn't mean that the person sending the notice knew that any particular notice was in fact false at the time they sent it, even notices made after the claim of unreliability.

It is possible that if it can be proven that the recipient read the complaint, and failed to investigate it because they believed it was likely to be correct (or if, even without such a notice, they knew of the unreliability of the process and failed to investigate the facts of particular notices and just blindly relied on the process), and that decision was motivated by a desire to avoid discovering that the information was false, then they might be considered to have constructive knowledge, but that's a far cry from "a notice was sent claiming that the process was unreliable, so any error resulting from that process automatically will be found to be 'knowing'."
I haven't, at all. I assume you mean putting together consulting pages like this? Interesting idea.
Great, another over-30 holding forth on what the "real problem" with teens is. It's really not that different from how people act in person. If you say something in a group conversation and get no reaction, maybe change the subject.
"but to get people's approval for what they are posting"

The business reason for multi-billion dollar social media companies is for brands and celebrities to get "likes". The only social sites that don't operate that way, are one dude in his basement sites, not billion dollar sites, where all the useful content is anyway.

Anyway, that business reason is going to rub off on all the participants. IBM isn't going to post everything, they're going to post likable stuff. No surprise IBMs followers have similar habits.
Yes I noticed they got flagged and I guessed HN wanted to avoid that kind of stories here.

It's not "as relevant" as an article explaining the story, the wikipedia page, ...
That's kind of the perverse incentive here, right?

To recoup your costs, you need to sell as much as possible--but in doing so, you render your own product obsolete due to continuing counter-evolution by the target species.
From my point of view manipulative doesn't speak to whose interest the manipulation is in, but rather to the fact that the manipulator is trying to bypass the autonomy of the target - getting them to do what the manipulator wants without consciously being brought to assent to the reasons behind it.

It can therefore be used with good intentions, and may often result in good outcomes if done by an effective manipulator for those good reasons but according to my moral system it is never an ethical way to act, and is likely to ultimately corrode relationships.

I don't use the 'Sony Digital Paper System' but I wish I did! If you've got a spare $1k it might do the trick.

Not that I've had the chance to try it out but the concept seems great, especially for people aged 50+ IMO.

Very good points, and I agree wholeheartedly that the confluence of "good enough" AI, mass data on social interactions, and ubiquitous networked sensors+cpus means that we are rapidly entering a sort of intense feedback system with ourselves that calls into question the very meaning of being human, and that it could be a threat to freedom. ;-)

It is definitely neither cynicism nor wish-fulfillment that makes me think the future system (assuming we don't simply destroy ourselves or degenerate into some N. Korean nightmare) has to be totalistic, and that it will be humane.

I think it has to be "total" in the sense that in order to apply and enforce whatever policy we have, including policy around who gets to access and use surveillance data, somebody somewhere has to be looking at all the data and searching for violations.

Flipping it over, I don't see how any government can say to its people "Hey, we know for sure that no one is spying on you. (Except us.)" without spying on everyone to make sure.

So I don't see how we can avoid the technology forcing the "political, economic or societal forces" to adapt, rather than the other way around. At best most people would be content with some privacy-protecting measures that other people would simply find ways to circumvent, and since the circumventors have greater ability to act without the contented people even knowing about it, how would you stop them?

Effectively the U.S. agencies and their allies are already merging into one large "trustworthy" (for some measure of trust, for some subset of humans) information processing system.

Now, if we accept that somebody is going to have the panopticon the immediate concern becomes the nature of our rulers. I think the future cyber-totalitarian regime will be humane, but only because I have hope that humans are intrinsically good.

I have no hope that we can roll back or even curb the capabilities of our technology but I feel confident that we can enshrine and effect our highest values within the system we are so vigorously constructing.

I always thought that a something like this was how the computers on Star Trek worked.

"Computer! Run a level five diagnostic of the starboard nacelles!" bloop bloop bloop...

The foley artists did a pretty terrific job of using sound to differentiate between heavy computation, success, and failure etc. Makes me kinda wish my computer could play a minor third instead of just plopping up a dialog box when things go wrong.
Fair, but probably true for predominantly all articles posted on HackerNews. Especially in the startup culture, I feel it's pretty much assumed.
It will be featured it the advertising photos. Frayed USB cables sparking next to compressed hydrogen. It will work a little like the subliminal death messages in the Marlborro cigarette ads, which were also very cool.
> If the content at the URLs is NOT owned by Wicked, than they are claiming to represent the owner of the content at those locations, when they are in fact not.

No, there are two separate claims:

1) that the person represents the owner of a particular copyrighted work, and

2) that particular hosted content violates the copyright on the particular copyrighted work.

Only the first of those is under penalty of perjury. If the particular identified copyrighted work is owned by the party represented, then even if the particular identified hosted content doesn't violate the copyright of the identified work, there is no perjury issue (there may be a knowing false claim of infringement issue, but that requires proving that the person sending the notice knew that the identified hosted content did not infringe.)
> If HTTP/2.0 had done this right

Is "right" in your opinion keeping SSL/TLS optional as it is today? Don't we already have the same concerns (legal obligation to MITM HTTPS connections)?

> no mechanism was provided for such legally mandated M-I-T-M

Maybe this is what you meant by doing it "right". How would this look? I'm having trouble imagining how such a mechanism could be securely built into HTTP.
I wonder if I'd have a Facebook if I was a teenager today.

It's hard enough not having one now, and even though I was never one to give in to social pressure, I wonder if it would be simply unbearable.

because this is not just about freedom of speech, it is about freedom of religion, the freedom to live your life as you so choose in any shape or form that does not negatively impact others.

these people do not believe in any self determination.
You are welcome to that opinion, take it up with your lawmakers, vote based on it, or run for office yourself to make it reality.

Just don't think you will make such proxies disappear with technical means -- in particular not where they are mandated by law.

I fully agree with you when we're talking about people trying to make money by modifying 3rd party traffic.

But I leave it to the relevant legislatures (and their electorates!) to decide with respect to libraries, schools, prisons, financial traders, spies, police offices and so on.

With respect to HTTP/2 there were two choices:

1) Try to use the protocol to force a particular political agenda through.

2) Make the protocol such that people behind manipulating proxies have notice that this is so, and leave the question of which proxies whould be there to the political systems.

Implementing policy with protocols or standardisation has never worked and it won't work this time either.

At the end of the day: IETF has no army, NSA is part of one.

Interesting quote and a good article by Michael Hastings (before his mysterious death) for those interested in the controversial subject of drone strikes. Thanks for the link!

Given the use of the quote in the article to cast the CIA as dismissive of Constitutionality and of fundamental human rights would you say that you diverge from Hastings in your understanding (i.e. the CIA are 'right'?). I might be: I'm much more upset at the death of 76 children and 29 adult bystanders accidentally (?) killed while trying to target Ayman al Zawahiri (who is still reportedly at large) or in general the estimated 28:1 ratio of untargetted causualties to successful targets (themselves suspect in international law). Then again, even while Anwar al-Awlaki was no cupcake if his case were applied as a standard of justice in America any true sense or illusion of justice in the legal system we have would be lost.
My point is not "NYC doesn't need them". It's "terrorism isn't much of an argument for them". Bank robberies and hostage situations are far more likely situations to need such a thing.

Thank you very much for your Huptime project! It has now become an indispensable tool in my sysadmin arsenal.
Yes, and to be slightly pedantic here, that's not a color display. That's a monochromatic display with the e-ink particles colored red instead of black. Of course they could mix this up with other colored segments, but in the end you don't get anything close to an RGB display made out of electrophoretic particles.

But I'm sure "Color E-Ink!" makes a much more clickable headline.
Great, but I'm not so embarrassed and afraid of what others think that I need to remove it from the world less I become embarrassed (and thus less cool).

Young people now are way too concerned at impressing others and that is nothing new, but now they are able to do it 24/7 and it is an issue. They are not living their lives but have their phones shoved in their face every second vs actually interacting with others.

I am enjoying a few resturants etc enforcing a no phone policy, I wish it would become more prevalent in places where you are supposed to socially interact, with actual, real people in front of you.
To be fair he did say these were all just anecdotes. He just phrased the descriptions in a way that seems "matter of fact" and everyone seems to be taking that and running with it.

For example, as someone else in here mentioned, this is more like "A North American Teenager's View of Social Media".

I bet he hasn't even heard of QQ, which has over 1 billion users. His lack of understanding of WhatsApp says a lot because as someone else mentioned WhatsApp has the least penetration in North America, but everywhere else it's the lifeblood of online social interactions.

Otherwise it feels like talking to a wall.
Antibiotic resistance has a fitness penalty. If we switch to this new antibiotic for long enough, bacteria may lose their resistance to our current antibiotics.

I'm assuming their suggestion is to use this drug for the next 30 years, and by the time bacteria become resistant to it we can start using our old antibiotics again.

Wouldn't the ideal approach be to have projections change as you scroll and zoom around a map? Zooming into the corner of a conical map means that directions get all skewed. At high enough zoom levels, you want the directional fidelity of mercator (or maybe a polar projection from the current focus point).

It wasn't easy to mitigate: re-writes were needed because of the private apis. We ended up doing a lot of optimization to prevent a pet project from costing us too much money, which before the price increase stayed well under the charging threshold. The pricing incident was the only thing on my mind about Google's cloud because we left Google since then. I'm sure things are different now, but then I got too many other things to do before taking a serious look at ditching aws for google.
I'm a muslim and I found most of cartoons by Charlie Hebdo funny, however the cartoon about the prophet didn't upset me at all but was not funny. It did however trigger something: this is how people actually see this religion, a bomb on a prophet's head. The reality is what makes something funny or not.

Should this be the end of making funny of anything or raising questions/ideas, no. However a journalist's job is not to upset people but to cross the line then come back and bring some people with him/her: convince.

All my condolences to those affected by this tragedy from Ottawa, Canada.
These attacks are likely to promote freedoms of speech and to slow down people calling for restrictions.

My position used to be one of asking people to consider whether the value of printing a shitty cartoon is worth causing deep offence to very many people. The murders have changed my position to supporting -with caution- the printing of these cartoons.
