Ask HN: UK SIM card
I'm headed to the London in July for my honeymoon. My fiancé has a U.S. Verizon iPhone 6 and I have a Verizon iPhone 6 plus. We're looking at all the different plans to get a local SIM card for emergencies and if we get seperated. I'm hoping to get some expert advice on the plans/providers. And I've read both phones support the UK gsm network but I'm hoping that someone can confirm. Thanks!

Amazon clearly knows that it is not the beauty of html behind the page that will make this initiative successful OR cause it to fail . At the end of the day, these images are used to get the message across and its Just doing that . That's what it is.. Nothing beyond it.
Interesting video clip of it going around and around. As NASA points out these have been pretty reliable so the occasional failure isn't a big deal, but the the unstated issue is that these things are in an orbital plane to intercept the ISS, which one doesn't want to do if you don't have control given the MIR experience. Presumably they will be able to either permanently abort it through a de-orbit burn or find another way to keep it out of the way.

A 20% move is huge for any stock (most don't move that much in a year!), and it's certainly far outside the norm for TWTR[1].

Lenin was genuine. He did things out of perceived neccesity that many are critical of in hindsight, but few historians would argue Lenin wasn't actively trying to improve the lives of men. Many around the world have much respect for the man. This is a way that people honor him. The only reason to seriously object would be if it somehow went against his wishes.
Yeah, it wasn't transformative like a bolt of lightning. And I didn't instantly become one of those people who freaks out about all the parenting advice, things that might choke a baby, statistically insignificant ways of dying. I was easy-going before, still am.

You may lose finite things like time, but not your identity. Parenthood only uncovers more of it.

I disagree. I think that it would incentivise repeat visitors -- commenters on Reddit, for example, or regulars on a forum.

Blendle's model is better for pure consumption, not for interaction.

For a former landlord, I left a one-star review on yelp and also gave them a piece of my mind over the phone. They're maybe the largest property manager in my city and would significantly limit my ability to rent.

I also left a one star review, created a mock twitter account, and berated the staff of a local, crooked towing company run by former police officers.

At a financial company, I reported my co-worker to the authorities due to a sensitive new project, his erratic behavior, and his public history of financial crimes somehow unknown to my superiors/HR.

At another job, I told my boss I hated my job just about every week for a few months (in so many words). Then I quit. Maybe that should have burned a bridge but he seemed happy that I basically was giving him a heads up, and I also delivered the project I was on before leaving.
The reality of terrorist WMDs is one incident, ever. That was the Aum cult's sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway. That's it.

That was a hell of an effort to achieve a result that a) could easily have been exceeded by a small, simple low-explosive IED; b) Ended up having the opposite effect of the goal of terroism - it highlighted how difficult and relatively ineffective WMDs are.
Cool thing is, they take their metric for success from you.

But you sound like you're measuring success by your role in the workplace. I'll bet they care a lot more about your role as a father.

There is absolutely something transformative about being purified by fire (trials), which sorts helps sort out your priorities.
> Of course, the fees would be split across the publishers proportional to the time or number of articles I read from each.

This has been tried several times without success (Kachingle, Contenture, Readability), possibly because it was all being done on the open web or through proxies, for too little money.

The main problem is that tracking visits on the open web is unreliable with the current approaches.

Blendle arrived after tablets were common, so they can use the proxy model, and they're not doing it on subscription so they don't need to establish a viable minimum monthly amount in the mind of consumers. On the other hand they face the taxi fare problem, which subscription schemes don't.

I started work on my own approach in 2008 and so became waylaid by the tracking problem; I have a patent pending but it's possible I simply moved too late.

On the other hand, my design works for the open web, for mobile, for apps, for games, for music, basically for anything without first needing the protection and support of a walled garden like an app talking to a de facto proxy server.
>Personally I find the increasing emphasis on work as a way to derive personal satisfaction troubling. It looks like a subtle trap to me. A way to convince people to forgo time with their family, hobbies, side ventures and anything else you might possibly derive happiness from in favor of just working more and trying to convince yourself that that is enough.

Extremely well put. This entire concept has troubled me for a long time and you've really nailed it pointing out that we're increasingly advising people to get their joy in life from their work instead of the literally MILLIONS of other things they can enjoy. Thanks for that.
While you may not feel privileged because you had to make hard sacrifices, not everyone is in a position to make the sacrifices you made.

But even then, your anecdote only speaks for yourself. There are many people who are indeed privileged by exceptional class or talent and who don't even need to suffer through the sacrifices that you did. Doors have been swung open for them their whole live, while others (like yourself) have to open those same doors with a crowbar, and others still (like the OP's 8/10) will never even get to see the door.

Yes, when you unmount a backend, all the data is deleted. Vault mostly behaves like a filesystem, but not in this scenario. The raw data is not preserved. If you want to preserve the raw data, you can remount (move the mount point).

We didn't finish it for 0.1, but we already built in secret enumeration into the core. We plan to expose this at some point. If you want to unmount and preserve your secrets, you can always enumerate them and back them up elsewhere (unencrypted). This isn't yet available.

Quite amazing for the time, and still very useful. It's frugal with batteries, too.

Discussion from a few hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9453722
I don't think that's a very fair statement. Some people are just "doers" and get off on working all the time. Some people also understand that you don't owe your life to your company (unless it is your own company) which means you make sure they don't take over every waking hour.

I guess maybe the issue is in the definition of what a "regular job" is... Over the past 15 years I've always worked at what I would call regular jobs, full-time jobs at large companies where people build careers. Many of these jobs included an on-call rotation. Until our first child came into the picture I was able to, and did, work on various other projects outside of work with the hopes of one of them making it big. None of them did but that work put me in a place where within the last couple of years I have been able to essentially pick my job and work at my desired pay. Now that our child is a bit older I've also gone back to working on smaller projects outside of my daily work schedule.

There's some overlap between the two, of course. Personally, I frequent both. I self-censor here in a way that I won't on reddit, if for no other reason than to help curate the better SNR.

The psychology is a little different, here. Since there's no equivalent of user-created and moderated subreddits, it's hard to associate the same feelings of identity and ownership. As a result, ironic on account of the smaller userbase, I tend to think of Hacker News as a more public space than reddit. Hacker News is more impersonal and sterile, but in a good way. Reddit is the equivalent of bullshitting with the neighbors over a few beers and a barbecue.

Both are good. It's hard to speak of my time here in terms of a migration, or switch from, reddit.

Exactly - given an average of 500+ friends and years of being active daily or weekly for a large chunk of that time, the probability that you've at least witnessed an embarrassing incident is many orders of magnitude greater than just having done it yourself.

I really believe there's a high level of wariness among the general FB user population that no amount of marketing or changes in authorization policy can fix. It's a level of trust that's irretrievable.

Absolute pitch (the proper name) is a spectrum. I have it myself, but my abilities pale in comparison to some others. While I have no problem identifying single notes and smaller chords, others can immediately name 10+ note chords. There's also the question of range: I'm hopeless at the extremes of the piano while others have no problem.

Many musicians are able to memorize the tuning note A440, for instance, which suggests absolute pitch is not simply a boolean property of our brains but rather an ability that can vary (and be improved) like relative pitch.

That being said, I do think those perfect pitch courses you see on Amazon are mostly snake oil.

Here's a beautiful quote that expresses this profound change, and the sense that its consequences are to be accepted rather than resisted:

"Let's say gravity suddenly shifted a little making everyone a little bit lighter. It would likely make the news circuit for a while and make movers and other professional lifters particularly happy.

But after the scientists had explained again and again why it happened and all the potential story lines had been exhausted by newspapers and television pundits, religious zealots and idle conversationalists (“How about that gravity?”), we would accept it, perhaps with a individual joy all our own.

Which is to say, even though a slight shift in gravity on Earth literally changes everything on our home planet, after awhile we’d adjust. Occasionally we might think back to the days before gravity changed with wonder and even nostalgia, but we’d know that everything being lighter is just better on one of those annoyingly and truistically difficult-to-communicate levels and continue with the practice of everyday life, with appropriate changes to this new state of lightness.

Parenting for me is something like this."

This is really, really cool for packaging apps up for distribution to non-lisp nerds. Requiring people to install Quicklisp to load an app isn't the end of the world but still a chore for people who don't live in a REPL.

I'm really happy with how much progress Common Lisp has made since I started programming in it (around 4-5 years now I think). Implementations have all kind of agreed on the lowest common denominator of essential non-standard features: FFI, threading, sockets, etc.

It's still kind of a fringe language, but as a user, I am happy it's making so much progress.

Thanks for the work on Quicklisp, Zach =].

It'd be nice to just let me get the name, which is what people expect. They sort of expect identity to include their name, but not their friend list, which is another one of those 'basic' things that you can't not have access to.

So... FB makes all this stuff overtly available, companies abuse it, people get pissed off and now the swing to 'anonymous'... Just let me get a name (and... maybe an email if they allow it). Google got this much better, but have their own issues.

It's hard to imagine, given your characterization of him, that Lenin would support this at all.

I think people who wish to honor the dead will do so regardless of whether there is a mummy or memory to honor. I think the preservation and display of Lenin, at the time, was a political stunt for political goals. I think they continue to do it today because for everyone involved, it's just something they've always done. There's no real purpose for it at this point.

How to Learn a New Code Base
It's pretty amazing to see how many new secrets tools for DevOps and cloud have suddenly materialized in the last few weeks. At Conjur, we have been in production in this space for almost two years. If you're wondering how to stack up these different tools against each other, here are a few facts about our solution:

* At Conjur, we care deeply about three things : (1) the overall user experience for developers, operations, and security personnel (2) the security of our code (3) high availability

* Conjur implements full-featured role-based access control for both "carbon" (people) and "silicon" (VMs, servers, containers, and other code)

* Conjur solves not just secrets management, but also SSH access management and software-defined firewall (granular access control for microservices)

* The Conjur core services are not open source, but our cryptography is (https://github.com/conjurinc/slosilo), as are many of our client libraries and connectors (for example: https://github.com/conjurinc/api-ruby, https://github.com/conjur-cookbooks/conjur). And Conjur cryptography has been audited by a respected 3rd party.

* Conjur features packaged integrations with Chef (https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/conjur), Puppet (https://forge.puppetlabs.com/conjur/conjur), Docker (http://developer.conjur.net/product_demo/secrets.html), Heroku (https://github.com/conjurinc/heroku-buildpack-conjur), AWS and more. New integrations are easy to build using the Conjur HTTPS and LDAPS APIs (http://developer.conjur.net/reference/services)

We have also gone to great lengths to make it easy to try Conjur yourself, with automatically provisioned, self-service demo appliances featuring the Conjur server and client, Docker and Git:

Same here, one of your competitors ;) What are you doing with the Graph API 2.X in your app? You can only get the birthdays for friends who also use that same app (a very small share, generally, if you aren't as big as Facebook) and you need an extra permission even for those users' birthdays, right? Well, as you said, there is no solution. Having the dates from the contacts is nice, but not nearly as effective as all the Facebook friend data.

Using an instance id or MAC address as a secret 2nd factor seems surprising to me. This is what banks are asking for? It's nice that there are two factors to the authentication, but neither one seems to be securely random.
In 1921, Lenin had his soldiers steal nearly all the grain produced on peasant farms, then distributed it amongst his soldiers and cronies while five million people died of starvation: https://www.google.com/search?q=soviet+famine+of+1921&source...

When America donated enough grain to relieve the famine, Lenin deliberately prevented it from reaching the starving rural peasants.

Lenin, by the way, purchased no fewer than nine Rolls-Royce cars during his brief reign.

I'll give you that he was genuine. So was Hitler.
> The NES doesn't support flexible bit depths, but a similar principle allows a simple kind of "compression" when storing compressed graphics data in ROM: for a monochrome font, you wouldn't need to store the upper bitplane, and you'd just zero it out when loading the font.

Why Some Men Pretend to Work 80-Hour Weeks
Mnemonics is totally how it works for me. I can hear songs in my head in tune. Through learning to play guitar, I've memorized songs for each note, by the first chord of each song.

C: Like a Rolling Stone, Bob Dylan

C#: Say it Aint So, Weezer

E: Melissa, Allman Brothers

F: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Nirvana

F#: Foxy Lady, Jimi Hendrix

G: Santa Monica, Everclear

G#: Brain Stew, Greenday

The only part I'm not completely convinced is a learned skill is being able to internalize the song in the first place.
