Ask HN: Is there a way to save the comment thread from an HN post?
There are some posts where the resulting conversation in the comments are at least as good (if not better!) than the post content.

I'd like to save those off. What's the best way to do that, short of a copy/paste?
WSJ's table lists the valuation date to be June 1, 2013. The Quartz article is from Nov 2014. So you do the math.
Not true with mdadm. Yes, your unreadable single byte will translate into a corrupted file somewhere, but I've recovered plenty of mdadm RAID5 and RAID6 arrays that had lost one or both extra drives and suffered from UREs on the remaining disks. Love good software RAID!

No, that is one use for Monads. A Monad is just something that has a bind (>>=) function and a return function.

First, you are not alone. I also "hit the wall" when the discussion turned to functors, monoids, and monads. Now, let me be the token heretic here. I took an online Haskell course where the instructor said, "Now that you have learned about monads, please don't write yet another monad tutorial!" Perhaps the reason that there are so many tutorials about them is because the really are NOT easy to grasp.
Free markets don't really exist. Market information and capital is highly siloed and almost exclusively used for advantage by market incumbents.
More accurately, constitutional republics make up a set that overlaps the set of democratic governments. A Constitutional republic could have a nondemocratic constitution, so that set is not a subset of democratic governments. The US is, in constitutional form, all of: a federal republic, a democratic republic, and a representative democracy.

Something you can start doing right now: exercise and take non-computer breaks. Even 30 minutes of walking around will sharpen your focus. 20 minutes on an elliptical will be even better. There's ample clinical evidence on how exercise is really helpful with focus and mood.

Then, importantly: don't just "talk your doctor into giving you ADD drugs". Go find a good psychiatrist, or at least, a psychiatrist who will give you a proper ADHD assessment and with whom you can work on medication if needed. ADHD assessment takes at least few hours and is far more than just self-reported symptoms and history-based. It typically includes objective attention/executive processing tests and also evaluates you for any other possible conditions.

Do you have any anxiety issues? That can very well contribute.

Ideally, they would be also able to refer you to a psychologist or coach who would help you figure out what you want and teach you some valuable skills you could use to help yourself. Psychologist can really give you a higher-level picture of what the hell is going on.

Basically, go get help. Worst case, you'll learn something, and best case, you'll learn a lot and be happier and more productive.

It is simply a lack of economic growth. China has had high economic growth rates, usually over 8% a year, since 1979, when it liberalized its economy.

SideProjects Are How You Train for a Startup
According to various reports, this Superfish adware uses the same certificate across Lenovo computers. It should be easy to grab the private key out of the proxy binaries. And then... all these computers are vulnerable to arbitrary HTTPS man-in-the-middle attacks. Uh oh.
You're assuming that the proxy is on the laptops, no?
Huh. Looks like it's for scripts/Configure, which doesn't exist in the 2.6 series? Was this an older version of `make config`?

There are certainly a lot of people in `git log --author=microsoft.com` (and in MAINTAINERS), for Hyper-V guest drivers and the like.
We'd be remiss not to mention the Erlang counterpart...

http://learnyousomeerlang.com/
This is much worse than just installing adware. They install a web proxy which MITMs all web connections, including HTTPS by means of a pre-installed trusted root certificate.

The root certificate is the same across all installs, and the private key is present on the machine (necessarily, to operate the proxy):
https://twitter.com/fugueish/status/568258997578371072

Someone will extract the private key in the next few hours, and then HTTPS will be basically completely broken for all Lenovo users -- anyone will be able to spoof any site to them.

Uninstalling the app does NOT remove the certificate: https://twitter.com/metsfan/status/568265468173107200

On the bright side, Firefox does not use the system certificates (it has its own list) and Chrome will no doubt push an update to block the certificate promptly.

Dokku didn't - and still does not - do anything re: firewalls. Thats up to the server administrator to handle. For instance, you might choose to have this on a VPC in AWS, in which case you wouldn't need much of a firewall. Or if you're using this on Digital Ocean where there aren't Security Groups, it would be up to you to setup ipfw or iptables.

As far as magic, I'm not sure what you are getting at. The entire source is there for you to look at, and is actually quite readable. I don't write bash all day, but it was quite easy for me to jump in as a maintainer of dokku.
I highly recommend "You could have invented Monads", it helped me a lot. I also recommend the Haskell Wikibook:

Well, the other possibility is that Superfish is routing and MITMing all traffic through its own servers, which is arguably worse.

First, your premise is invalid, because your definition of a free market is wrong.

The concept of a free market does not require perfectly equal distribution of knowledge or capital, such that in the absence of that said free market ceases.

"Free market" != perfectly equal distribution of resources.

Second, your premise is invalid because it rests on the notion that both capital and information are static quantities, when in fact they can be created and accumulated by new entrants very easily, and historically this is exactly what occurs.

If you were right, the silo would act to vigorously prevent new entrants. The exact opposite proved to be true under Capitalism in the US: the US became the greatest business / startup creation engine in history precisely due to its original highly free market orientation.
Anyway to see if that certificate is on a Lenovo computer? Anyway to remove it? I bought a Lenovo laptop recently, and I was appalled at the amount of crapware that was installed. It's a wonderful laptop at a great price, just too bad about the software.
How ironic. I have the same question, but in reverse!
Sortof. For one if it could be done it would only work for that particular fight. Even that is highly unlikely though.

For one consider that music at least in terms how we (culturally, or biologically) are predisposed to listening to it: must keep time, you can change from 4/4 to 5/4 in the next section, but not arbitrarily (if you want it to sound like what people are inclined to call music at least).

(i.e. the drum-pad as a controller video someone linked in one of the responses, which is totally non-musical - is a good example).

Of course in a live-fighting game you don't care about structured timing, only about relative timing as to what your opponent is doing. Perhaps you could run a game through an emulator that enforced actions into particular time-blocks. Anyways I think it's very difficult, even to get something satisfactory rhythmically, not to mention tonality and a second piano.

My point is that "should" is redundant with "want" in a materialist viewpoint. It only makes sense to talk about "should" separately from desire if they're not necessarily the same. Is this not tautological? You need some other set of axioms describing some goal other than want-satisfaction and an assertion that it's true for everyone before you can meaningfully call it "morality", a system containing "should". Otherwise it is, as you put it, an ungrounded symbol.

In other words, a moral system needs to answer the question "why should I give a #$@*?". Why not let the world burn if i feel like it? Why not just that part over there that's only being used by people I don't like and don't depend on? Your Kant quote is a succinct statement of the commands of most moral systems, but doesn't answer the real question. If there's nothing more to the universe then we can see, only matter in odd configurations, I don't see how it can be answered.

P.S. I'm not sure what you meant by "real desires", but it bears mentioning that there exist people and other beings whose real desires are purely destructive, to others and themselves; self interest in the usual sense (survival and comfort) is not necessarily relevant. Think about people we class as "mentally ill" (which really just means outlier, since our "healthy" baseline is just the average). If you didn't mean to imply that no one has a "real desire" in some sense to do "evil" things like destroy all life on earth, then you can probably ignore this part, but it had to be said
Agreed. Unfortunately, today's globalized world is very unlike a small town. So, a lot of crooks can scam a whole bunch of people before they are blacklisted as such.

Are people still doing Myers-Briggs?[1] I had a job interview for a CTO job for a large multinational once, and when I got to the final 3 candidates round, had to take one of these. I had a very good idea what they were looking for, and aced it. The lady doing the testing told me I was a perfect match and would advise as such. I let her know these tests are easily fooled, something she seriously disagreed with. So I did a few more for her, getting every result she asked for nearly perfectly. She started babbling about this being impossible, and it being unique etc. I told her I am just good at bullshitting people. Oh, and I was offered the job (declined it in the end).

Consider this: you mentioned a history of depression. Depression doesn't have to be at the level of a major depression to affect your functioning. And moderate chronic depression will certainly affect your focus. I hope I'm wrong, but you should really go and talk to a good psychiatrist/psychologist and see what kind of help you can get and whatever else you might be dealing with. And don't imagine that it means that you're fucked up in some kind of way: last year 13% of Canadians sought services of mental health professionals. That doesn't include those that aren't getting help for their conditions.

There's currently no meaningful distinction between the two domains. mozilla.org is the standard domain for all mozilla sites (developer.mozilla.org, addons.mozilla.org, or, in this case, blog.mozilla.org). I think we maybe use mozilla.com for a handful of internal things.

The corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the non-profit, so the .org domain isn't necessarily a misrepresentation, either.
I am guessing the Lenovo machines that are bought from the Microsoft Store are free of this, because of the Signature PC program, might be worth the extra cost if any and the trip there to get a crapware free machine.
That has always been true. ~130 years ago, crooks went from small town to small town selling snake oil cures - and they had to promptly leave in a hurry, they were almost always run out of town by their horrible reputations.

It doesn't guarantee perfect or instant protection, it drastically increases the odds of eventual consequences. The reason for that is, human knowledge (eg about someone's reputation) isn't acquired or shared instantly, it's a process requiring time. It's a 95% good enough premise, but not a 100% guarantee. Historically it works incredibly well over time.

The modern examples at a large scale are plentiful as well. Costco for example has a tremendous reputation, and I would argue it has substantially aided it in, essentially, besting Sam's Club. Costco proved you can defeat even the largest of incumbent in the market by doing things better for customers and employees.
Remaining questions: Does the superfish proxy itself check the certificate of the site it's connecting to? One would hope, but that's also a pretty easy thing to screw up.

If it does, does it trust its own cert? Probably (certainly?), but if not, that would leave one in the curious (perverse?) position of being safer by using the proxy. superfish can mitm your connection, but nobody else with the key could.
Would have to re-write/re-flash the firmware as well.
On your profile page, do you see a link "saved comments"? Those are links that you upvoted. So if you upvote the head of a chain of interesting comments, you should find those links under "saved comments".
We're making a beautiful, high-end frame to order and delivering it within a week. Of course there are cheaper alternatives/materials, but you can easily tell the difference and oftentimes cheap frames will literally fall apart within a few years.

Just found this: Spy agencies ban Lenovo PCs on security concerns (27th July 2013) - http://www.afr.com/p/technology/spy_agencies_ban_lenovo_pcs_...

I'm surprised that this is just now news. I received complaints from people participating in our beta trial (http://sketchtogether.com) from as early as October 22nd, 2014 that our website was broken, and it was because of Superfish being installed on their lenovo laptops. When they uninstalled Superfish, our webpage started working again.

Superfish injected a line of code that referenced "sf_main.jsp" from a remote site into all webpages (including ours) that interfered with our code. Here's a pastebin of the sf_main.jsp javascript file it linked to: http://pastebin.com/bZFkfRd5 (I assume the linked code is not copyrighted, if it is, please let me know and I can take it down).
Please point to the authoritative definition of "free market" so that I may appropriately rebut you.
That makes sense, but unfortunately the Pyret page says nothing to indicate that arithmetic is done in the rational field.

For the record, 1.0 compares equal to (1.0 / 3) * 3 in IEEE 754 32-bit floating point arithmetic. You may want to consider a more compelling example, ie

float x = 1.0;
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
x += 1.0 / 10;
}
x == 1.0 // False
What is it that the firmware can achieve? Is the firmware capable hijacking data, communicating with the NIC and transmitting data? Or is it somehow injecting harmful code? I feel like I'm missing something here.
Well, I dunno. In one case Superfish can see all your data and store it on their servers, in the other case _anyone on the internet_ can spoof any site (as soon as someone extracts the key). Either way is pretty bad.

But proxying all traffic from all Lenovo laptop owners through a third-party server without someone immediately noticing a problem is just not feasible, so I think we can assume that's not what they're doing.

Your strategy works only if you have a clean copy of the OS or you buy one (since the thread is about Lenovo I assume you are talking about Windows). Typically, a new PC doesn't come anymore with a copy of the OS, but with a hidden recovery partition that will basically let you do a factory reset (meaning all the crap will show up again).
