Their method of measuring copyright infringement is very sketchy. They can only measure public links, so they miss the majority of the data stored. I don't trust their algorithm either, given the ridiculous amount of false positives in automated DMCA requests. They don't give their results for non-"copylockers" like Dropbox.

Mega claims in their blog post that 99.7% of the files they are hosting are smaller than 20 MB. That almost all of those are copyright infringing is not plausible.
Ask HN: Legality of freelancing on the side?
I'm considering doing some freelance work on the side for the last company I worked for, in addition to my full time job as a software engineer. The companies are in different fields and, as I am in CA, I don't think it would violate my main employer's IP agreement to do some limited work on the side not using any company computers or equipment. However, I'm not totally sure what to watch legally. In particular:

1. Are there any particular legal issues I should look out for? (e.g., contract provisions or something)
2. Should I ask permission from my current company?
3. Any examples of contracts that do not require full assignment of IP? (i.e., I want to limit assignment of inventions to just the code / ideas I deliver to the company directly)
What worries me is if Facebook has or hasn't studied how someone might react to what they may see as being informed upon? They might actually wind up pushing someone over the edge. Looking at that interface I can see that this feature could be abused: A bully use this as a way to threaten someone.

And on larger level there's something worrying about Facebook holding that data over your lifetime. What if on a future date Facebook shares that information at some future point with potential employers or law enforcement officials? Or what if Facebook is hacked and this data is put into the public.

Before we get speed cameras, I would rather have:

* always use blinker when turning / change lanes cameras
* turn your lights on:
* 30 minutes from dusk / dawn
* when it's raining
cameras
* bikers without safety lights cameras
* runners without reflective gear yet running in the
road at night cameras
* hand-held cellphone while driving and not stopped
cameras
* tailgating cameras

Speeding is the least of my worries about the road.
Your logic makes sense, but there's something special about visual imagery - the way the images go directly into our brains without being filtered through our imaginations - that gives it true power.

When I was a kid, I read a lot of horror. Mostly Stephen King, and Clive Barker, which were far more than my 8-year-old self should have been reading, but for the most part, I could handle it, just fine. (Stephen King's It was really the only book that scared me beyond the moments I was reading). On the other hand, the violent films I saw (Aliens, Robocop, etc) proved much harder to shake off. Remember the end of Robocop where they guy gets toxic waste dumped all over him, and his flesh starts dripping off? I spent weeks trying to get that image out of my head. Hell, even the end of Raiders, or the Ceti Eels from Wrath of Khan disturbed me far more than anything I read.

As an adult, I watched Devils Rejects - a truly great film that I cannot recommend to anyone because of how disturbing I found some of the imagery in that.

Or, to take a real life example - plenty of us are fine with reading accounts of terrorist beheadings but purposefully avoid watching the videos of the events.
I don't know why anyone should believe comment sections are authentic. In my mind they are propaganda ground zero.
For the love of god don't spread that nonsense. Ditto blocks do NOT protect against a drive failure. If you lose a drive you will lose all of your data. It is intended as a belt and suspenders function and was put in place knowing as we get larger and larger drives with higher and higher error rates, RAID alone will likely not guarantee your data is protected.

It's kind of like skill-matching in games...however, I think that all of the comments need to be made available to everyone, although the order of presentation my be altered by the skill-matching algorithm.

The idea that content should willfully, and secretly, be withheld from users is a bit frightening and I reject it.
Too true. This quote from the article reinforces that "Despite the rhetoric I internalized from the newspapers back home about why we were in Afghanistan, I ended up fighting for different reasons once I got on the ground — a mix of loyalty to my Marines, habit and the urge to survive."

It's that rhetoric, created by almost everyone BUT soldiers, that sends them to war. And, especially in nationalistic countries where soldiering is viewed as some kind of heroism, no doubt leads to poor decisions once they arrive and face the reality of the situation.

movie ratings for all practical purposes carry the force of law even here in the US

?! Is this some leftover trauma from not being allowed in to an R-rated film when you where 13? The only people who are constrained by ratings are producers, and then only in the sense that producers push for an R rating (thereby pushing the envelope of what's acceptable for an 'R') because many theater chains refuse to show NC-17 movies for commercial reasons.
well, HN is a pretty good example.
Maybe on a dedicated discussion platform like HN, but so many times the comments section of a major news outfit read like a YouTube commentator's stupider, meaner little brother.
I'm far from a libertarian. I think moderation is a good thing, I just think we need to recognize that it creates bubbles in and of itself. If you want a more concrete reddit example, /r/lgbt and /r/ainbow would provide a concrete example. Moderation provides the tone for a community unless it remains totally unmoderated.
I think it is important and useful to expose those views to the outside world. How can those views be addressed, and progress made, if they remain largely invisible?
What are some of the "old to you" examples?
I'm proud of Gilmour: he's come a long way since he couldn't get Linux to install, ever. I also salute his ideological purity. The world needs more of this, otherwise, we'd all be suffering from "smart quotes", and "byte order marks" and _NSAKEY.
The fact that I can count on opinions like this countering propaganda is exactly what makes comment sections valuable.
Those are medallion numbers or TLC license numbers, but not drivers license numbers. They can't be used for identity theft.
Ask HN: “Are you a good programmer?” – is it a pointless question?
I ask people during interview if they think they are a good programmer. If they say "yes", then I go on to ask them why they think they are a good programmer - what is it that makes them a good programmer.

I have found that people are usually quite candid and usually do have some sense of where they fit in the hierarchy of programming skills. Some people give the honest answer that they think they are good, but not top level. Others say "yes I am, but there is always more to learn". Others go into some fairly detailed explanation of why they think they are a good programmer. One of the responses that I find most meaningful is when people say that they are the "go to" person on the development team - all the other programmers come to them with their questions.

Is it a valuable question to ask during a job interview or do you think every programmer thinks they are great?
Not when you just want to say five words to someone. It is certainly not anyone's primary means of electronic communication.
That video seemed incredibly prescient. A lot of the features in the video are a couple years off from mass adoption, and maybe it's a bit more geared towards the 90s mindset, but there's a current day equivalent to most of the functionality.
Everyone who thinks making places for civil discussion is doable has never tried to do it. It's an amount of effort that is usually uneconomical.
Right. I meant that Haskell has a whole lot of other weird syntax to consider, that make it hard to read compared to Python. It's use of indentation is not one of the problems.
Interesting thoughts and it's always good to hear from those who've recovered, hopefully yours was full?

I'm always open to differing views, so would be interested in any recent papers pointing to a psychosomatic cause, especially as this seems to be an area active research is moving away from.

I completely agree the mind/body need to be treated more as a single entity, but the researchers and clinicians I've been engaged with are most certainly looking at this in a non Cartesian way. Nb these are not general practice doctors.

Again, I'm comp sci rather than medical, so my experiences are anecdotal but a good many of the CFS patients I've known have not been under chronic stress with the often exception of CFS seemingly being triggered by a viral infection such as glandular fever. I can't comment on whether cortisol levels remain high.

Fundamentally there is so much we don't understand about what may in fact be a group of illnesses, hence why people's personal stories seem to fall into two or three conflicting camps.

We need more data to go on, which is why I've a side project looking to address this which will hopefully lead to more areas of research.
> The thing I don't like about the parental support argument is that I don't see it offering any avenues for improvement.

It actually does. Namely, you need to improve parental situations in order to improve the child's situation. A better societal support structure for the parents means that their kids will do better in school, because the parents will have the time, space, and motivation to provide the necessary support.

It's something of a circular argument (which is not exactly rare in societal problems like this), and it may arguably be non-optimal, but it's a valid avenue for improvement.
On your app website or store page, mention about the bugs and let people know that you are aware with that. This will give impression that you're still care about the app and hear users' feedback. Also share about your time problem to buy more time before you can fix it.
You can if you are given $20 million over 10 years... like in the question he was responding to.
I edited my reply to vacri since your comment was posted which better explains my thinking on the subject so I don't want to be redundant but a funny thing happened.

I was looking for the the some of the articles and videos I saw that had pissed me off because their titles implied optical illusions explain this phenomena with science so I could explain that my "because science" comment wasn't meant to be dismissive or refute proven scientific theories but was based more on the fact that they were "proving" things with untested hypotheses with regard to this scenario, and as I started watching one of the videos, the dress appeared black and blue to me. And I realized I was watching the video on my phone vs the laptop I had previously used. Unlike my laptop, my phone's screen dims based on ambient light and lower levels were bringing out different hues in the image. My laptop also has auto color temperature adjustment based on the time of day which was affecting my perception.

Based on different screens I could see the exact same image side by side looking both black and blue and white and gold and realized there may be exogenous variables not included in the explanations that had previously upset me.

In my original comment to the article, I was reacting to the fact that people were trying to explain how why people were incorrectly interpreting the black and blue dress as white and gold because their mind is playing tricks on them based on optical illusions which generally work the opposite way.

Like you, I saw white and gold, I have been tested as having perfect color vision, know that fashion designers commonly rip styles off and given the contextual lighting, the image looked like it could have been of a knock-off in tiajuana and I didn't like that the only evidence that the dress is black and blue were the claims and evidence presented by a satirical musician submitting content on a blog representing another woman and a company with an identical dress who stands to profit quite a bit from this publicity this has generated and as honest Abe said, you can't believe everything on the internet.

But after seeing the image side by side looking differently on different screens, I am at peace with dressgate and think everyone is right about the two sets of colors seen, though I still think other explanations like solarization, the dress actually being white and gold but photographed to capture a blue hue, or screen discrepency should not be dismissed because optical illusions are a real thing and disagree with one hypothesis being advertised to summarily explain such a contentious phenomena because there is proven evidence to make that one idea plausible.
Did you mean to have a comma in between "teachers" and "and"? I'm having trouble interpreting your comment.
You're forgetting about the hookers in that sum.

Ask HN: Is being known for having domain expertise important for entrepreneurs?
I recently had was in an event for budding entrepreneurs. Mostly are still new to entrepreneurship.

As investors look into the team composition in terms of what the team could bring to the game, is it important for the founding team members to establish some rapport as experts/well versed in their own domains?

Just to clarify, you don't have to be called an 'artist' to create art.

I qualify the code that ran the machine carrying humans to the moon as gloriously beautiful art - in it's own flawed way.

I consider my personal programming projects as art. I try to build beautiful and functional 'things' that at the end I can stand back and admire.

You can qualify much as art, but you can qualify a lot more as crap art. A lot of stuff is dismissed as 'not art' because it is completely stupid and rubbish. For example, that moronic screaming lady - or those once-popular paintings of meticulously detailed cans with labels. Ah, so many hundreds of thousands spent and now completely worthless as the wool is lifted.
Are there any resources on how to properly format raw data t make it most useful for display on a map? I'm hoping to do a crime map for my city and haven't quite found a good place to start.
No. No no no no no. Ask someone what their strengths are as a programmer. Don't ask them whether they are a good programmer.

Let's say I asked you: "Are you a good person?"

Well, compared to who? Compared to Mother Theresa? Probably not. But compared to the average person on the street? Probably.

If I asked you that question, I'd learn more about who you compared yourself to than whether you are a good person.

(Also, if I asked Mother Theresa that question, she'd probably have compared herself to Jesus and said 'No.')
Admin control panel this is not. I was expecting, as were others (at least, I'd gather from the downvotes) that this would be something more along the lines of activeadmin or rails_admin.

Scaffolding is introduced in the first few chapters of RailsTutorial, and it's painless to do basic authentication.

That's why I was so confused. I thought there was more to this.
Adapted relativity.
It would be interesting to know your background? Are you a recruiter, sales, account person, human resources or CTO?

I would probably say that I'm great...

I don't disagree that moderation can set the tone for a community. I'm just arguing that's not the case on Hacker News. This site has a very strong focus on technology and startups. Any specific niche will create a bubble.

It's also worth keeping in mind that /r/ainbow was created as an alternative after the mess that /r/lgbt became. /r/games from /r/gaming is a similar example. As much as a change in moderation was a focus, it was also a different audience that moved over to the new subs.
Fundraise Your Ideas with &#8216;Designbook&#8217;
Six no's! That's a strongly held opinion.

I don't really see the open ended nature of the question as being a problem. In fact that's kind of the idea - get people talking about what it means to be a good programmer, what makes a good programmer, why it is that they think they are a good programmer.

A good programmer probably should be able to have an effective discussion on the topic should they not?
Inconvenient Message Detection: A way to hide communication metadata
Yeah, I don't know why general news outlets have comment sections, they're universally awful. They should go back to Letters (Emails) to the Editor, but that would mean they'd have to pay someone to field the emails.
> I have little doubt as to the particular types of views that the author would want moderators to enforce.

This is another argument for removing comments: implementing any form of moderation opens you to criticism that you're not doing it fairly, favoring certain viewpoints or users over others.
It's also signalling. Higher salary both means the company can afford it (i.e. is stronger, healthier, a safer long term bet) and that the position is valued (as the company is willing to invest more in it).

Rebuilding Chile's Constitución: how a 'dead city' was brought back to life
Big news. Sent the price for a big jolt! https://cryptowat.ch/bitfinex/btcusd/30min
I watched the first half of War Games (1983) with my 6 and 8 year old boys tonight, and they were both totally into it. The movie holds up incredibly well, especially the back-and-forth of Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy choosing targets to attack as the officers in NORAD are running around panicked.

I can perhaps imagine showing Aliens to my sons when they're 11, but it seems overly aggressive to show their friends, without getting explicit agreement from their parents first.
Enitrely this.

The first time I saw Aliens - it was one of the strange TV edits that included the sentry guns, but lacked the other salient bits - holy fuck, it immediately gave me the sense of "this is what films should aspire to."

Roughly seventeen years later, I always experience the same thrill that I did the first time I saw it.

On an unrelated but personal note, which I feel appropriate given the subject matter: it took me YEARS to figure out what the fuck was wrong with my memory, because that strange cut that had the sentry guns (CBS edit, I believe?) was not readily available until the director's cut came out on DVD - I was not fortunate enough (keks) to own a Laserdisc player, so I spent a good number of my formative years thinking I was insane for insisting that "ALIENS HAS SENTRY GUNS! IT'S BAD-ASS!"

Further unrelated note, because I'm that much of nerd, and couldn't afford it, but went nuts anyhow: I purchased a $4,100 replica of the M41A pulse rifle built by Phil Steinschneider, and while I no longer have it - wow. What an amazing piece of film history, even if to only have a meticulously researched, almost exact replica of an item that defined a good chunk of my existence.

TL;DR: Aliens is the greatest film ever, and I hope every future generation (and those that show it to them) have the same enthusiasm that OP and I do for the film. Masterpiece.
"you can't blame soldiers for using lethal force against a perceived lethal threat."

Did you realise how that phrase is incredibly dangerously close to this other one:

"You can't blame a Government for preventively imprison or kill someone because some of its bureaucrat has perceived threat" ?

You bliss the first one and you have nothing left to contain the other one from happening

Unless you are a believer of the capability to self-refrain of an ever expanding Government.
