Seems like a solution in search of a problem. Finding email addresses is not hard. It's pretty easy to guess the corporate email address of anybody working for a US based company. Simply use Google to figure out the corporate pattern for email, and apply to the person you want to reach. When in doubt, simply guessing variants of the usual patterns will usually work within 5 minutes. There are also tools like jigsaw.com and LinkedIn.

No. London is suffering from foreign investors buying freshly listed properties solely in order to squat on them. Currently, the value is pretty much guaranteed to rise so they're actually fairly good investments for the buyers.

I think the more typical downtown vacancy problem is better characterized by 'Someone' in the comment above.
Canadians also rejected the UK style totalitarian blanket surveillance and internet filters so not sure what 'freedoms' they are missing out on compared to the UK. All those same kinds of gov interference and regulations in airspace and dairy exist in the UK too, and every other country.

You and I had similar difficulty yesterday vis-a-vis arbitrary downvoting. I was referring to a comment made at me regarding how HN comments are for correcting people who are wrong, and accompanying that is downvotes. Except for when "correction" has nothing to do with the downvote, or none is offered.

It doesn't matter. The conversation at HN is toxic. I've bitched enough. I was just reaching out for commiseration.
I often wonder if football could be played without pads like rugby. And yes I do think the damage done to linemen can be attributed to helmets because when you have a helmet you have a false sense of security that you can smash your head into another person or another person's helmet without injury. I suspect without helmets players would make active attempts to keep their heads out of harms way as much as possible.

That's not completely accurate about HTTP/1.0. It's true that HTTP/1.1 requires "Host:" (a compliant server MUST reject any request from a 1.1 client that lacks that header). However, HTTP/1.0 clients had been sending "Host:" headers for years before the 1.1 standard came out.

It's still possible to use a 1.0 client today if you don't want to handle other client-side requirements of 1.1 like chunked transfer-encoding. Likewise, embedded devices can speak 1.0 only without any problem.

I have red-green colour blindness, and I tried prototype contact lenses that claimed to do this about 15 years ago.

Did they work? I don't know! Everything certainly looked different and a lot more vivid.

I guess I would have had to use them for a long time and 'retrain my brain' before I got any benefit.

They were quite expensive, and I just didn't like it - I might have been seeing as a normally sighted person, but I just didn't know what the colours were that I was looking at, so I decided not to use them.

Google Memorial: the small museum of projects abandoned by Google
This is a wonderful blog, highlighting some of the strengths of good fortune and good practice in academic research. The author sought out other disciplines and ideas and was rewarded for them, and isn't afraid to cross the mythical qualitative-quantitative method lines.

Method is what you learn in PhD school if you do it right. Not following the one methods of a narrow advisor, although that's useful to grok politically as well, but to search out other forms and frames and ways of looking at the phenomena that you wish to examine.

There is still a lot of dogma over methodology in schools, even in supposedly interdisciplinary ones like communication schools. The wisest of the academics transcend the political lines of epistemology and examine for themselves what makes sense or not, and end up discovering awesome new things. I'm so glad this one is on her way to more fascinating and unusual insights!

(I suspect the complex helmets and padding are actually the cause of brutality and concussions in football because the players use the padding as a weapon and as justification to go to physical extremes they would not dare try without their armor)

I suspect that helmets and padding are the reason we don't see more deaths at all levels of play.

> But, yeah, they did avoid the obnoxious ads (at first)

I think that's debatable, perhaps it wasn't as bad as MySpace at the time, but the facebook I joined in 2008 was fairly obnoxious with advertisers using profile pictures of the users left and right; the thought of it becoming a company the size of Google never crossed my mind back then. In retrospect I think they were very lucky not to lose their userbase and traction to a better service when the advertising and application spam got unbearable.

"There are several options. One option is to work around the hardware limitations in software, displaying something like

Tied to domains, but you still have a good point. Try getting a cert for "foo.myhouse.lan" (and that ignores complications of coordinating hostnames of embedded device ahead of time).

On a manged corporate intranet, Active Directory can push out a new CA and your computer trust whatever certs the local IT department wants to cook up, but it breaks down with a BYOD office or SOHO lan.

I manage a few intranet websites, this encryption requirement basically kills any interest I had in experimenting with HTTP/2 which was already miniscule. I'm not seeing the use case for HTTP/2 unless you're already all-https or in the Top N websites and want to slim down bandwidth use.

There's a long history of abusing words or phrases with positive connotations in order to achieve something else (often the exact opposite).

Not always true, for example FileZilla installer (at least some of them) is bundled with adware:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=88499507
Exactly. Worse, it trains users to ignore cert warnings.

I don't have any problems with the campaigns to make the public internet HTTPS-only. However, for software inside an intranet, or software that just wants to expose an interface on http://127.0.0.1:*someport* non-SSL is the better default.

If people want to protect their intranet that's great, but it means that they have to go through the work of buying a cert, since only they know the hostname it will be exposed as. That's a poor initial-install experience.

Thought Experiment: How working from home might change the world (a little bit)
Yes, that's the thing. At the current point it is usable (barely) as an APL/javascript REPL, but there are several corners that are very rough, not counting unhandled data structures and such. Every time I have some spare time with some clear mind I work a little on it, so it's not stalled, but has been going for quite a few months already without much improvement.

As for your question, data goes back to the "server" (there's go code interacting with the APL interpreter and sanitising inputs and outputs, converting to JSON, etc) but this is expected to be used as a local service (using a port not listening to the outside world), so no, no arbitrary code execution failsafes (if I were to deploy it in some real, server-ed way I'd isolate interpreters via sessions in the go 'middle' layer).

The problem is the culture of freeware and shareware is so engrained that it was impossible for them to truly get their app store online. As a result, even people writing good software have to compete with free software that's embedded with spyware/adware, and the average user has no idea. So they're given an option of something "completely free" that does what they want, or something they may have to pay $5 or $10 for. The choice for them is easy, because they don't know any better.

I would assume an ALGOL variant.

Given that this was in '78 (which is quite late in ALGOL's lifetime), it's possibly the "P" referred to the P-porting kit for Pascal[1]?

That's speculation of course, but the ALGOL name variations generally did mean something.

I wonder why software startup related conferences are usually not as productive as consumer trade shows. From my own experience the former is likely to be a total waste of time with no outcome for your startup, whereas in electronics-related shows you will definitely meet some new suppliers, retailers, investors (and of course your competitors too). You almost always leave a consumer electronics show with something. Just curious, why is this?

I have a different opinion✢: I think it's a clever service, maybe not one of the most useful, but it's a clear vision and it goes straight to the point.

There are a lot of cases where finding an email is an easy task, as easy as flasname@company.com, but I expect this service to shine when it's hard to guess an email address, so let's see what it could do.

Why wouldn't you want to see HTTP/2 used without TLS?

If you are not logged in or sending sensitive information you don't need TLS but could still benefit from HTTP/2.
> if you could combine a streaming TV service with Netflix-like penetration using FB login and FB ad targeting, I'd wager you could make more in ad revenue using only a small fraction of airtime than traditional TV. IE 10 second "preroll" ads, unobtrusive banner ads (on pause, buffer, etc) with FB's targeting would earn more per viewer than traditional TV's.

It's coming. The next wave in advertising will be ad targeting based on addressable set top boxes, which basically means targeted video ads on TV. Advertisers will be able to do things like "make sure each household sees my ad five times" to avoid cases where people who watch lots of TV see it twenty times and people who don't watch much only see it once. With addressable STB's + microtargeting there will be a whole new set of companies for which it will be profitable to advertise on TV. Right now the long tail of niche companies has no chance of profitably advertising on TV because their target only makes up a very, very, very small percentage of an individual program (think about a company advertising Bitcoin ASIC's for example). But if they get addressability + microtargeting right then they can make sure that only households which are interested in Bitcoin ASIC's see the ads.

Exactly! As I stated in the other thread off this comment, I wonder what American football would look like without padding like rugby.
Your copy mentions "more operating systems in the future." Does that include OSX? When?
People who are actively using their property would not pay the vacant retail property tax.
While not as bad as American Football, rugby is still pretty bad - my son plays rugby at U16 level and the level of injuries you see are pretty striking - broken bones aren't exactly uncommon.

Still rugby is a great game and he loves it and I love watching him play.

[Scrums are the really scary bit of rugby as of the risks to players necks - fortunately he is a No 8. not a prop!].
Football was pretty brutal in the leather-helmet day. There was a series of deaths in college games that led schools and the government to consider abolishing it, and ended in reforms (no "flying wedge" was one). Even after that, football was hard on the body, and a lot of players lived out their post-football days in steady pain. I believe that a major reason that we are noticing the brain problems now is that American men are living longer than they did fifty years ago. A man who is grouchy and eccentric in his fifties and dies of a heart attack at sixty isn't much noticed. But it is hard not to notice a guy who progresses in his sixties from eccentricity to dementia, and lives another twenty years a fog.
Just one more remotely exploitable bug? That's nothing.

It's no surprise we are seeing fewer kids playing at the K-12 level as parents just don't want to take the risk. I don't blame them. Wouldn't want my son doing it either. Who wants to push their child on career path where there are good odds you retire in your 30's with brain damage?

Increasingly I am thinking that football is one of those things that people a hundred years in the future are going to think we were totally crazy for ever popularizing, sort of like how today we think gladiator fights were horribly barbaric. I don't know that better equipment and rule changes can solve everything.

Interesting to read that djb is in favor of automatic exception handling rather than explicitly checking return codes:

"Fortunately, programming languages can—and in some
cases do—offer more powerful exception-handling facilities, aborting clearly defined subprograms and in some cases automatically handling error reports. In those languages I would be able to write

stralloc_cats(&dtline,"\n")

or simply

dtline += "\n"

without going to extra effort to check for errors. The reduced code volume would eliminate bugs; for example, the bug “if ipme_init() returned -1, qmail-remote would continue” (fixed in qmail 0.92) would not have had a chance to occur."

Contrast this with the explicit error handling promoted by Go (and used in djb's software due to lack of exception handling in C).

For that to work, you need to enumerate either the acceptable failures (network timeouts) or the unacceptable failures (logic error).

However, for idempotent actions, why does it matter what caused the exception? The worst that happens is you waste 3x the resources, and the benefit is you avoid false negatives from overspecifying your unacceptable failures.

You seem to be falling in the "they dress for men" fallacy that was addressed in the article: maybe they dress in cute pink dresses just to send a big FUCK YOU. Maybe they're not sending any signals and you're using that as an excuse for the different treatment you do.

But the real problem is that the situations you are talking about do not happen when meeting a complete stranger at random in the street; the encounter happens in a tech conference or at work, where you can expect people to be there because of their skills and interests.

Would you ever expect any male to be present in a tech conf not because he's interested in the technology but because he's accompanying someone ? Why is it normal to expect it for females ?

The problem is absolutely not in how women dress/behave/talk/present, it's how the other persons (including other women!) expect something different simply because of their gender.
Isn't getting added to the Dow a sign that a company has "jumped the shark?"
I doubt it's most of them, but it's been the "trendy" thing to do for about a decade now. I've pretty constantly seen GIS--and specifically ArcGIS--coming up in all kinds of conference papers over the years and everyone always acts like it's a really novel idea. "You mean, novel since last year when the same thing was presented? Yeah, okay."

In other words, there are people who are doing good work, but a lot of fields are more about gaining a protected position than they are about doing good work.

Yes, Facebook Groups for iOS is built in React Native. Unfortunately, it is quite slow.
