I've been wondering about that to. I think the lawyers from top schools can lateral into other fields easily. The lawyers I know all do something else besides law. One teaches. One rents out bedrooms in his home. One barely scrapes by waiting for the phone to ring, and hoping the person will accept $400/hr.? One got a real estate brokers license.(you don't need any prior experience if you passed the bar.)

I think it will just take time for the profession to realize they will probally not make what other generations made.

I do think there's a huge need for reasonably priced lawyers. Something between Nolo Press and $400 hr.? Some areas of law are pretty straight foreword. If a person without many assets(expensive home--mainly), and just has unsecured debt; a straight chapter 7 is something a lawyer could guarantee.(As long as the client is completely honest?) I'm surprised more don't advertise in that light--instead of hiding their work in mystery.

To any lawyer who tries to scare a client into paying whatever--the climate has changed. We know a little more than we did before the Internet, and Nolo. At least in civil matters.

Hi,

I used graphite and now I'm using influxdb, in the other hand kibana+logstash+ES.

With statsd and influxdb you can measure all the events in a database, it's pretty easy and you have statsd libraries in some languages. I measure all the events in my products, from response timings, database queries, logins, sign-ups, calls, all go to statsd.

Logs are good to debug, but if you want to measure all events in your platform, statsd+influxdb+grafana are your best friends, and your manages will be happy with that ;-)

A few weeks ago I gave a talk about this, you can see the slides here + a few examples+ deploy in docker:

Why, even though time-consuming, startups need to blog
His points are mostly true, at least for some people, but I think we should go deeper than that. There are people who hate reading tech books and prefer to get the information in concise/shorter way through internet/SO. I am one of them, I have tried reading different software engineering books(widely recommended ones), but I just can't get into them. And yet I can easily digest an article about specific issue I have, try it out and if it works the article goes into my Pocket so I can check it again in the future, if something similar happens.

But give me a good fantasy novel, I will devour it. Wheel Of time (13 x 700 pages) was completed in 3 months. Chronicles of Amber? Done. ~60 books of Pratchett, a lot of them multiple times? Done. Tolkien? Done. There were countless of times, where I couldn't sleep before finishing a book, staying up to 4-5 am, when I usually go to sleep around 23-24:00. That's why I feel it is really hard to start a book, when you don't know what type of books you like. Some people enjoy fantasy/sci-fi/romance/action/prose and many more. Maybe something non-fiction? And I feel that schools should somehow help students discover their favourite authors and their favourite ganres.

Good article, but he could have given his point in one/third of the content length and it wouldn't have lost anything.

You have the right to your own feelings, and I agree that the title may be off putting. The audience for the article is rust core contributors and rust fans, and they're a very informal bunch. If rusters are like similar communities I know, talking about poop makes a blog post more likely to spread.

EDIT: I do not want to argue with Dewey2, so I'm putting this here: the women in the rust community that feel uncomfortable when they are addressed as "guys" have every right to feel that way, and I commend the rust community on making that stand.

Oh boy, yet another JavaScript framework. Colored me unimpressed; angular, backbone, ember, angular 2.0, react, etc. I feel like they're just reinventing the same wheel with a different spin. I wish people would actually spend their time creating a really revolutionary "framework" instead, better yet a programming environment, which would redefine how we write web programs.

I'm envisioning a way to create software, where while having a conversation with another person, we could collaboratively draw some shapes on the screen, connect them, then my program comes to life, evolves, scales up, scales down, etc.

I believe programming should not be an endeavor accessible only to those adept at manipulating text files. Telling computers what to do should be for everyone.

That's NOT what adverse selection is.

It's absolutely an adverse selection problem - insurance companies, as you say, can't necessarily price based on your existing health condition (not only because of regulations, but also because of asymmetrical information which is too costly, if not impossible to obtain).

As a result, healthy people will choose not to purchase health insurance, since due to the adverse selection problem, there doesn't exist a mutually beneficial transaction for both parties (insurance policies have to price for the average due to the lack of health data, which is economically disadvantageous for the healthy to take). And thus begins the adverse selection death spiral[1]

To add to that, it's not really even that impressive - no ES6, lots of technologies that are not in the current "hype" and so on.

That said - having frameworks emerge from the community rather than dictated is a good thing, it helps create a healthy ecosystem. Whenever a new "fad" takes over we actually _do_ learn something.

I agree, the way of thinking about these tools is faulty.

I see this a lot in environments I've worked in, where the NIST 800-53 and DISA STIGs are the order of the day. Nearly all admins and auditors both immeditally jump to the list of checks, and start going down the list. It can be manually, or with an assessment tool, but for every instance where the value in bit position "X" doesn't match what's in the book, it's a "finding, and must be changed".

I think tools like these are useful, but they're almost always used in the wrong way. I tell my admins that these tools aren't to assess the risk to a system (which is far more complicated a measurement than a single checklist) but an awareness tool. The lists are to make you aware of services and entries you're exposing in the system. They're not inherently vulnerabilities if they're part of a well-conceived service who's proper operation and potential risks have been accounted for. When I read output from these, I think "Hey, this says I'm running HTTP without encryption. These are the potential implications of this decision. Is this the functionality I intended?" If so, document (if it isn't already) and move on. If it's not intended (oops, I wanted this to be HTTPS only!) then I know I have a configuration issue.

I'm aggravated when I get some laundry list of "findings" and being told they need to be reduced to 0. Simply smashing the "remediate all" button is going to leave them with a broken system. It's a hard fight trying to explain that they were never intended for this.

Working from home – 5 tips to stay sane
I always have to Google it. http://stackify.com/errors-log-management/ Dunno why it's not more discoverable. Maybe they're doing tests, because it's underpriced IMO. I've not found any service like them - maybe New Relic but that's 10x the price, last I checked. Azure has something they're pushing in their UI, too, but a brief look made it seem nontrivial to implement.

Apart from that, Stackify is $15/server/mo for the server monitoring and app metrics, IIRC.

Good cops should insist on body cameras. A good cop has nothing to lose and everything to gain.

False accusations go both ways - police are accused of acting improperly and criminals are (obviously) accused of acting improperly.

A good cop should never act improperly but may be accused of it, and they'd want evidence that it isn't the case.
Have you tried Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu/)? It sounds similar to what you're describing. If you have any ideas on a better way to do this, maybe you should build it - there's a lot of interest in "accessible programming".

I think the changes are inherent to interactivity and the infinite volume of the internet. These change everything. Once you can respond, you are a part of the fray and your thinking changes.

When you read an interesting nonfiction book today, you can also check wikipedia, listen to podcasts, watch the author giving a Ted talk and jump into the infinite sea of informal online commentary.

IE, reading on HN is not reading in the sense that reading some book in 1991 was. It's being in a conversation, for better and worse. Your mind is operating in a different context.

I also think that writing is adapting more slowly than reading. Many nonfiction books I find interesting are 250-400 pages when they could be under 100 and just as effective. I think that's some side effect of paperback books published by the publishing industry, the medium and its economic ecosystem.

In any case, if you want to maintain reading of that kind as a habit or pursuit, you need to create an environment for it. Have a reading room in your house, go to a cafe or park or your garden and read there. Set and setting. You also need to be somewhat honest about what you like and how. Are you so engrossed that you read for 3hrs when you meant to read for 30min? Are you doing something that you need to discipline yourself into doing?

Actually the article says that people are also killed by exploding truck tires which are around 100 psi and further states that SCUBA tanks are pressurized at up to 3000 psi.
All of those scenarios can happen with ubitiquos CCTV, and whether or not it is released is entirely up to the owner of the camera.
The arbitrary example is a good one though, because it nicely illustrates why a bug in a website just isn't worth a whole lot to sell. No matter what the issue, from a PayPal account issue to a Facebook privacy bypass, the ops teams are monitoring for this kinda thing and will shut it down quick.

Do you have first hand knowledge of selling such an exploit?
I think there has been a huge gap between what the music industry wants and what the customer wants.

Music industry = "higher payments, contracts per artist / music studio and higher quality music for higher payment"

Customer = "One service ( or multiple), with all music, "good-enough" quality ( except for some people who would go higher premium), normal price ( max. 10 $ / month)"

Problem: There should be a more direct approach and excluding the Music Industry would be priority one ( eg. What Apple does and Tidal), higher payout for the artist at least.

Artist should realize that his income is actually concerts and gigs ( popular => high prices)... Radio / Streaming is part of marketing ( mentality change)

Streaming services could include a higher income with an offline shop ( fan art, vinyl plates, t-shirts, etc..), but i don't think none of them realizes that.

One issue with phones in emerging markets is that they are very storage constrained -- the cheaper models often sell with as little as 2GB of storage. On Android, you can add more storage with SD cards, but some apps (Facebook & Chrome, iirc?) cannot be moved to the SD Card. People with limited storage often have to be quite brutal in triaging their installed apps list. Maybe Flipkart has data that shows that users often install their app, but I think a few quarters of anemic mobile user growth will help them change their mind.
Funny.

But the problem here is complex and hard to solve. Cycles and memory leaks are nigh impossible to solve completely without sacrificing on that altar ability to create custom data structures or no-GC by default. Which was non-starter for Rust.

For me, it is because there is an expectation that my data will pass through the telecom. Not only is it expected, but as the end user I have little choice in the matter. If Eve wanted to inspect my traffic, that is a one-stop shop.

Flywheel ends up masquerading some of that traffic, so if for no other reason, it is atypical. I also perceive that it would be in Google's best interest not to abuse that privilege since advertisements are how they make their money. If they abuse that privilege, consumers will go elsewhere and they will lose their market advantage.

You only need but look at the cookie tracking the telecoms are doing right now to see that their oligopoly gives them little incentive to respect consumer's privacy.

I have a neodymium finger implant and a NFC implant in each hand. Several of my friends in Orlando and the Valley have similar setups.

I do explosions with liquid nitrogen almost daily at my job as a science demonstrator. We've had one accident where a bottle exploded in the hands of a college of mine. He got a good scar up his arm, but nothing deadly. He had to get sewn, but that was about it.

Most often though, if you fill up the bottle with too much nitrogen, it won't explode. It'll just freeze up and slowly disperse through whatever cracks are present. If it didn't explode over night, it probably wouldn't have at all.

I suspect it might have started to fizzle due to air leaving the bag, or due to a small leak, which is pretty harmless. Nitrogen explosions of half-litre bottles are very large, and can shake the ground 20-30m away. I can test it later today if time permits and upload a video, but overall, it would've been much clearer if it went off.

Edit: to people saying the cap is the weak point: 9/10 times it's the bottom that gives in first.

Always baffles me how HN crowd can at the same time revere Lean/Agile mindset, and at the same time despise the same principles applied to the tools ecosystem. To me it's obvious that to make progress of any kind multiple attempts are needed. Naturally only few of all those experiments will survive, the thing is nobody knows which ones.
We've got pretty good exposure and even some small investment through WebSummit, both directly and indirectly (people that saw us there and then met us somewhere else).
