According to the Justice Department itself:

"Last fall, there were about 64,000 people on the no-fly list, according to the government. Typically, less than 5 percent of those on the list are Americans. The list fluctuates in size."

That's at least 3,000 American -citizens-. Many of those on the list are legal permanent residents, many more than citizens (as immigrants).

in-flight infotainment? Let's start with Alaska [2]

digital billboards? Given the number of snarky pics on the internet of billboards rebooting, etc, are you really gonna even try to go there?

Windows has a lot of play in the embedded world too. Yeah, certain areas not as much as others, but it definitely is out there.

I'm with you on Dr.Taylor and the PyCon guy, but IMO, Brad Wardell is clearly an example of someone who created a hostile work environment for women, even if he doesn't fit the dictionary definition of sexist. The sexual harassment lawsuit and his counter-suit were both settled out of court, but reading the e-mail exchanges between himself and his employee shows that Wardell was nothing short of a creep.
> The need for the GNU project is as great now as it was in the 1980s.

The need for F/OSS operating systems (kernel and related tools) is as great as it was in the 1980s.

The significance of the GNU project in meeting that need is less than it was in the 1980s.

If you like other people controlling your computer/data and only being able to work with their permission, then no, I guess you don't need free software.

Market share on desktops might be low, though I don't actually care. I care that when microsoft or apple decide you can't install software outside of their app stores, when they decide you can only use DRM enabled video players, etc, that there's somewhere to turn.
Edward was related to nearly every other European monarch and came to be known as the "uncle of Europe".[37] Kaiser Wilhelm II was his nephew; Tsar Nicholas II was his nephew-by-marriage; Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain, Crown Princess Margaret of Sweden, Crown Princess Marie of Romania, Crown Princess Sophia of Greece, and Empress Alexandra of Russia were his nieces; Haakon VII of Norway was both his nephew by marriage and his son-in-law; Frederick VIII of Denmark and George I of Greece were his brothers-in-law; Albert I of Belgium, Ferdinand of Bulgaria, and Charles I and Manuel II of Portugal were his second cousins. Edward doted on his grandchildren, and indulged them, to the consternation of their governesses.[82] However, there was one relation whom Edward did not like: Wilhelm II. Edward's difficult relationship with his nephew exacerbated the tensions between Germany and Britain.

The rocket is, at the very least, a thin pressurized tube full of kerosene vapor and oxygen, and probably some decent amount of liquid kerosene and liquid oxygen. Crack it open and it's gonna make a pretty good flash. But as rocket explosions go, that wasn't very big. Get to YouTube if you want to see some real rocket explosions.
Absolutely agree. Your phrasing is much better.
You have to deal with real physics and the real physical world - turbulence, friction, lag, wind, waves, none of which are predictable.
If you want to see the non-rent-seeking version of a local marketplace, look at Craigslist. Their service is completely free to most participants.

Craigslist has a lot of things going for it, but the "rent seekers" are able to create other advantages that Craigslist can't. They can staff people to bring businesses onboard, get everyone's metadata formatted in the right way, take business photos, handle payment disputes, etc., that they wouldn't have the resources to do without charging a fee on the transaction.

For some, Craigslist is better, for others, the Thumbtack experience is better.
auto-antonym[0] is a word that means both one thing, and something else that is the opposite of that. This dictionary[1] (second result on google) has definition one meaning the opposite of definition two, thus the word is an auto-antonym.

Say what you will about Nestle, but they seem to be the only people trying to make a decent cup of coffee easy to serve.

Update: thanks for the downvote. I will stop attempting to show you how the expectations you have for a cheap, carefree coffee machine are unreasonable unless you make some compromises or invent it yourself. It is an unsolved problem, but I get the message. I am not welcome to burst your bubble with the real cost of things.
There's this one. Anandtech is still pretty good. Umm...
> the package includes 3 attendee tickets, plus a complimentary exhibition stand

This is the kind of wording that drives me insane. If I'm paying for a thing, then anything that comes with that thing is by definition NOT complimentary.
I'll be there as well.. Hope we have a good time! Vegas for 3 days with hotel included isn't a bad deal..
It's pretty darn easy to integrate, too; I used it for a toy project, and it was really quite pleasant!
Awesome.

Between this, OpenBSD, Haiku/BeOS, Linux and DragonflyBSD are my fav in term of news and interesting things to read. The dude from DragonflyBSD was over at Slashdot talking about batchprocess vs msg passing pro, con, when to use it.
A law that prohibits slavery was just the first - and now after thinking about it a very good - analogy for the situation at hand. A better one is welcome :)

I wasn't advertising any political goals. I just thought that the idea behind the GPL wasn't understood and wanted to make it clearer.
Now we need someone to combine these two to give us a picture the whole parameter space. Wouldn't a 3d graph by awesome here? Premature death rate on the Z axis, minutes of weekly exercise and percentage that is beyond a given intensity threshold on the X and Y? You could then compare that to the same thing, except using average intensity as the metric instead of amount of time spent over a threshold.

450 minutes per week was optimal when it was mostly light exercise, and intense exercise is more beneficial, with diminishing returns after 30 minutes per week. But if you do a higher percentage of intense exercise, does the optimal time per week decrease? (Or maybe even increase as you get beyond a certain fitness threshold! Although I somewhat doubt that.)
YES! Agreed 100%. Biggest irritation in my life with regard to doing anything with Javascript is when some library talks about some miracle function, then the example is like:

miracleFunction() {
alert("It works!")
}

ARGH. Give me an example of what the body of miracle function should look like!
GNU has always been a political movement, software is just a means to an end. Both GNU and the FSF are irrelevant and the free software world would be better without them.
Unless I want to break out the kettle to heat the water, I heat the water in my cup and then pour into the press. My coffee cups pour like shit, leaking steaming hot water about. Plus if my ceramic coffee cup isn't pre-heated this way, the resulting coffee is luke-warm.
Cheese from the same proteins as milk, but from genetically modified yeast
Eh, I spent a few months carefully experimenting with Aeropress methods, and while I got good results, I never got anything that I liked as much as what I get from my French press, which I also find less fiddly (e.g. with the French press, I find that small variations in both time and temperature have less of a negative impact). I still use the Aeropress every once in a while when I'm feeling bored (I always use the inverted method), but I'm never thrilled with the results.

Edit: I forgot to mention, I totally get that some people like the fiddlyness, the experimental aspect, etc. I completely respect that, and am that way about a lot of things myself (some far sillier than coffee). Coffee just doesn't happen to be one of them, so that aspect of the Aeropress is not a plus for me.
You don't think pressure matters when plunging? I've speculated that a faster plunge might extract more solutes from the coffee grinds due to greater liquid penetration into the coffee grounds from higher pressure.

I don't think it's a topic we need to tiptoe around. This is one of the few places where it should be normal to write about it casually. Describing it as 'deteriorating mental health' makes it sound like something to be ashamed of. Like burning out means you've gone bonkers. That attitude probably deters many founders from wanting to talk about it.
Wow. Thanks for bringing back visions of the 1990s.

These arguments were tiresome then; they are boring now.

You are conflating GNU, GPL and LGPL.

The GNU system may never be as successful as you think. But portions like The GNU Compiler Collection (gcc, go, etc.) and GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) and thinks like GNU Emacs are the standard which others are measured against.

Second the "absolutely awful" licenses; being under the GPL has certainly hindered Linux adoption. And Samba. And ...

The GPL and LGPL are amongst the, if not the, most successful software licences in history. What's more they are one of the few that has resulted in more freedom.

Things such as Netgear's WRT-54G are classic examples of where these "awful licences" have changed the world for the better.
To be a little bit pedantic: in NLP terms, this is a sequence labeling problem, not parsing. "Parsing" is normally only used for methods that can handle CFGs or similar nested structures. This tool just seems to be breaking up a string into a linear sequence of labeled segments.

I don't mean that as a criticism of the project itself, though. The demos alone are pretty cool, and the framework looks incredibly useful.
Neither of those implement a type where you can enumerate the values exhaustively.

Ask HN: What book or media resource would you recommend on team management?
Hi.

I'm currently like a "team lead" (not officially yet) and I am very young. Part of my daily duty is work closely with my supervisor, manage our JIRA queue, and handle requests coming from business and developers (I work as a DevOps). I am now considered "escalation" in my team so I can spend more time on management and other major engineering efforts underway. I absolutely love what I do: the kind of opportunity I am given (judging by my title and experience) blows people's mind.

I don't think I am terrible at being the person doing management work. That being said, I am beginning to feel the pain to

1) having a good oversight with what people are working on, and keeping track of their progress (we use Jira, but still doesn't yield the best result I hope)

2) prevent my team from being overloaded (i.e. prioritize tickets)

3) maintain a good level of autonomy in my team

I just proposed to have a daily stand-up, and we will start that next week (it worked quite well with my previous team).

What lessons did you learn when you first start to manage a team? Are there any book or media resource that have helped you become a better manager? The rest of my small team are distributed, remote workers.

Thank you!
"Code" by Charles Petzold is another book I'd recommend for this sort of thing. I usually keep a few copies on hand to give out to folks that show a genuine interest in learning more about code and how computers really work.
Uber for wake up calls? What is the world coming to?
I always wonder to what degree this kind of study might invert causality: that is, people who are subclinically "ill" may be less likely to exercise in the first place because it is harder or less pleasant for them. Someone with, for example, undiagnosed but significant cardiovascular disease (unfortunately very common: in many cases the first sign anyone recognizes as concerning is a heart attack) is likely to have some degree of decreased exercise tolerance and discomfort at longer durations and intensities -- and thus will be less likely to meet the recommendations.

I have a very fine stainless steel mesh strainer for my aeropress (replacing the little paper discs). Using it, I'm able to let the coffee steep for 45+ seconds, gaining the benefit of the inverted method without needing to mess around with inversion.

That said, I still prefer well-executed pourover (once I got the hang of my pourover method) to aeropress coffee but I think that's more of a personal preference thing. Nowadays I travel with the aeropress (and a nice travel grinder that fits inside) and do pourover at home.
One occasionally hears that hereditary monarchy is superior to democracy because the monarchs must consider the effects of their decisions on their descendents.
Technically true, but not useful. The same is true for, say, choosing a real number uniformly at random on the interval [0,1), but nobody thinks twice about treating that as a well-defined sampling problem.
I didn't hurt this guy because he offended me, I hurt him because he denied reality. Someone who can look at something and say "This does not exist, because I will it not so" is clearly delusional and needs a jolt of physical sensation to get back to reality.

That said, I tend to take things extremely literally when agitated. He might have meant "You're unimportant, this might as well not exist".
If you have static analysis then it makes sense to use types instead of strings. If you don't have static analysis then there isn't much motivation which is why you see strings everywhere in unanalyzed JavaScript.
Better no internet than facebook? Sounds cynic.
Very good for India that they finally realized what facebook plans to do, which is have all the next Billion people coming online having free access to its site and therefore increase its revenue on Ads and other means. Its absolutely unacceptable any government sign up on this, this defeats the entire idea of internet being open to everyone. Last week Mr. Zuckerberg met with the Brazilian President to announce that he intends to bring this to a number of places in Brazil, and the dumb idiot(Brazilian President) was all proud to be announcing that she is making another American billionaire even more billionaire by delegating the work that should be done by her government. I really hope that this "partnership" of them won't last too long, otherwise facebook will have even more leverage and power, than they already have, over anyone who wants to build products that may compete with their apps for consumer's time.
The way I consider it quite similar is that the freedom to own slaves isn't a real freedom, neither is the freedom to use my code to restrict other people's freedom in computing.
I also consider myself a backend developer but have written a non-trivial amount of ReactJS code. It is really a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend next time you find yourself having to do something on the front end, use React.
Is there a reason you couldn't have things on the side of the landing pad that "grab" onto it and secure it?

It could be as simple as a huge ring of cable that just closes around the top of the rocket, then pulls it tight on all sides- like the guidelines on a tower to keep it stable.

Maybe they don't want to do that because they think they can do it without it?
I was excited about the link when I thought it was from NASA.gov

While Maemo was Debian in a mobile device, Mer/Sailfish at
this point is as close to that as Android is.

Which is truly tragic. I'm not sure if many have experience using Maemo5 (especially the community build) but it represents the apex of phone operating systems in my opinion. Nothing is as pleasant to use, and to think that devices it was built for max out at 256MB of memory.

This is why the Neo900 is so interesting and needed because for the first time, we could get modern hardware in the n900's perfect case, with the community Maemo OS. I just wish it was easier to develop for that operating system >_<
Well it's a good point. 2 min is probably still too low.

Indeed. Just look at Blue Origin. They've well funded, they've got tons of high caliber engineers (rocket scientists even), they've been "bending metal" and building real hardware for years, and they've had pretty good designs, but they're far behind SpaceX in terms of progress. While SpaceX was launching rockets, earning dollars, and doing R&D with launch vehicle leftovers Blue Origin was still mired in the midst of building an orbital launcher.

This is a good example of both "worse is better" and the MVP concept. The Falcon 9 is not the best design for a reusable launcher that one could put together, I could list easily half a dozen optimizations that would lead to a vastly superior reusable vehicle, for example. But by going the expendable mode first route, and building a dead simple vehicle (2 stage LOX/Kerosene, a 60+ year old design) they've been able to iterate, do full-scale testing, and earn income. Income is the life blood of any operation, so being able to bring in profits early made it easier for SpaceX to invest in rocket R&D. And by using the expendable -> reusable route they're able to gain a lot of confidence in the behavior of their rocket as well as get multi-million dollar test vehicles to play with, all financed by their customers.
Studies like these always make me think how little we know about human body. I wonder when are we going to stop doing these kind of studies and learn from human body as purely engineering system. By simulating it at a molecular level and understanding it that way.

Where are the chips that mimic cells and help create complete simulation of a trillion+ cell system? We need Elon Musk of human body :)

Is been around for ages and is part of the kernel.

NSA has a dual mission of protecting national security information and also collecting intelligence. This was developed as part of the former.

It's not like they have direct commit to the kernel or something, the code is reviewed.

If they were to inject something sneaky or nefarious, they wouldn't do it in their own name and so publicly.

Not a lawyer, but is "could" the threshold here? Because Google "could" behave badly, but isn't yet (presumably, or it "could" would not be the word used), it gets punished?

Pretty inspiring after all this time that the problem is not so much getting stuff up, but landing it successfully. I kind of feel like this is where we should have been in the 70s.
This is a thorny topic. The trouble is that when a large number of people take a drug, rare but horrific side effects may manifest. How do you factor this in to deciding an appropriate level of regulation? Is it fair that we permit easily accessible experimentation with psychoactive or nootropic substances, when someone downs a few too many, has a psychotic episode and drowns his children? Or has a fatal allergic reaction? Or drives their car off a bridge because they have been awake for 96 hours taking one of these products? That may sound outlandish, but eventually something like this will happen to someone if enough people take it.

So I don't know if you can just couch it in terms of personal freedoms... it seems a bit more complicated than that. I don't know what the answer is, but pretty sure it isn't just 'Let people do whatever they want.' At least with heroin and cocaine people have some idea about the risks, even if they decide to ignore them...
Exactly what I was thinking. Also a lot of comments here seem to be upset at "yet another JS framework". T3 is actually pretty nice from what I've seen so far and does follow best practices.
As mentioned, it's control system lag, which led to over-correction oscillations. This is very straightforward to deal with.
Sometimes doing things in this way can demonstrate time complexity in a very real way.

On a computer a bubble sort of a large list might take a few milliseconds. Do it with strips of paper and you're immediately thinking there's obviously a better way.
