Ask HN: Anyone moved to EU for work? started a company?
People who got a blue card, moved around a bit in the EU or settled in one country, became a citizen etc - especially in the last few years, how has the experience been? How easy (or hard) is it to freelance, start a company etc compared to the US?
“I’m Not Dead Yet” Musings on Original Content
Yes. It is also a huge violation of privacy and will encourage people not to get help. The "Target flyer - My Daughter is Pregnant" scenario could happen to a person looking for help and make their situation worse or untenable.
Color me astonished that a brand new account named POWERfan is vigorously defending IBM in a online discussion forum.
Honest question - what examples are there of literature that can only be obtained on the dark web? Perhaps I'm closeted but I'm unaware of such books.

For example right now I'm reading a sci-fi book that remains unpublished in Russia, but it's available in the west. Or the other day had a browse of "steal this book".

Genuinely curious.
Not a walkthrough or guide, but I setup a boiletplate [0] that covers all your bases for development, production, and testing environments.

I wrote about it a bit here [1].

Unfortunately... It does kind of assume you're familiar with CommonJS and a bit of the ecosystem.

This is why I switched to Wealthfront.

I inherited an actively managed Morgan Stanley portfolio which has fees around 2-3% annually. I initially looked at managing everything myself, but didn't want to have to worry about all the finer points of managing one's own account. I may be losing the additional half of a percent, but in my mind, I am gaining far more.
Ask HN: What to do if your open source project becomes famous?
If your open source project becomes famous could you earn a living out of it? Do you know any examples of a project that became famous or most used and is hiring a team of devs to work on it.
Awesome thanks.
I figured that you didn't actually need to view the full orbit and needed just a few points but for things so far away I thought that it would look practically stationary. Didn't even consider atmosphere...or that there were other factors. Of all the stuff that can be learned it probably isn't high on the list anyways.
In order for benefits of React to outweigh the costs you need to have a web application with complex data flow. jQuery is proven to work and there is no problem with it in anything less.

At the point where you actually need React you also need to understand software engineer or you're going to get a mess no matter what the framework is.
I'd like to see also the list ordered by rate. I made a small extract:

City Acc. Pop. Rate
Cambridge 1313 128515 1.022
Brighton 588 163000 0.361
Oxford 551 171380 0.322
Bath 231 88859 0.260
[...]
Edinburgh 801 782000 0.102
London 9291 9787426 0.095
Glasgow 558 589900 0.095
[...]

Cambridge is a clear outlier. Do you have any explanation? Too many students? More prone to report the location?
It looks like we're talking about these new AWS features whether we want to or not..
This is the debate about Full/Responsible/Non-Disclosure. With Full Disclosure, users, admins and pirates alike get the same information at the same time, meaning that you, user might be able to protect yourself (add a line to your WAF filter, add a block on your FW, etc.).

On the other hand, I note that proprietary software is flawed with tons of 0 day (I'm thinking about Flash lately), whereas the self-proclaimed most security-oriented open-source projects only have a tiny number of unsafe code (I'm thinking about OpenBSD "Only 2 remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!")

My full-time job involves Angular, and I have to agree. I tried React briefly, and it was much easier because I didn't have to deal with understanding how the internals worked.
My UVC bulbs deployed in a FL home water treatment system pipe out UV in the region of 253.7nm. An ophthalmologist friend pointed out that unfiltered long term exposure to these wavelengths first catalyzes conjunctivitis (pink eye) then conditions go down hill from there. It's suggested that you don't stare directly at sources of this purplish color for any protracted periods.
Because they can't change their recommendations without admitting they were wrong, and governments generally can't do that. Or, at least, the speed with which they can change their recommendations is sharply bounded by ensuring they never quite have to admit fault. Admitting you were wrong is basically begging to have your funding cut, your reputation trashed, your influence removed, your job cut. The closest thing a government can do to admitting being wrong is if they can say a previous government was wrong, but now we're right. But for these administrative posts there's never a clear turnover for that to occur.

Public policy adds the additional problem that if they admit they were wrong about what was possibly the single clearest message the government has sent the US public in the last 50 years, "Fat is bad for you!", the public will very likely and entirely rationally start asking very pointy questions about how such volume could be combined with such error, and what else being communicated with such volume and confidence today may also be wrong.

The government has a ton of moral capital tied up in fat being bad for you, so it has to be bad for you. It has to be bad. It just has to.

As an individual, you may find it profitable to consider whether this is the sort of incentive structure that produces an authority you want to bet your life on. Considering whether there are similar issues where the government may have gotten stuck on a particular answer and now can not change its mind pretty much regardless of what facts come in left as an exercise for the reader.
Amazon going into Github's and Gitlab's space. I wonder how they will react to this and how this might affect them.
Haha, that's awesome. Our teacher told us each school had a different game, and ours was some lame math puzzle. I found out how to get on the district-wide network (back in DOS days) and access the moonbase sim game at a neighboring school. Eventually he instituted a policy of "no games unless you write them yourselves", which likewise prompted me to code up pong, light cycles, and breakout, all in turbo pascal. Good memories! I don't know if he was intentionally trying to inspire me to a career in programming, but that's what happened.
I started my career with a Turbo C complier, a PostScript printer, and a government database written in FoxBase. I learned a lot of PostScript programming in order to generate the report we needed. I later got NeXTSTEP 3.3 which made interacting with PostScript a true joy.

I have often thought a NeWS-like server would be a fine replacement for a lot of web stuff.

In my experience a letter or even just an email from a lawyer does wonders here. Dunno why.
Those numbers look quite a bit too high on the British side - apparently devs with "three years of experience will make an average of $77,508 (£50,540)" and I don't think I've ever seen jobs advertised at that level for less than 5/7 years experience in London, especially for permanent roles rather than contract.

I could buy a PS4 and use it for the rest of my life

If you're amazingly lucky. In actuality, you've got to replace it (or have it repaired, which is usually almost as expensive) every few years because it wears out.

And you've got to continue paying for electricity to run it all that time. And the TV (and replacements/repairs for it) to play it on. And the electricity to run the TV. And a payment for the dwelling in which it's housed. (Which you can buy outright… but even if you do, the payments for upkeep and the taxes to keep roads/etc coming to it end up being of a similar order…) Etc, etc.

In practice, unless we lived under a radically different system (far more different than [state] capitalism with/without a guaranteed minimum income, or communism), we pretty much have to have a system in which everyone can afford to continue making regular payments on many if not most of the expensive things they use.
The people that wrote the EU cookie law should be forced to use a browser that deletes cookies when it closes. That way the pointlessness of the law should become obvious to them.

When my co-workers and I read the first version of the Danish version, we read two different things. I'm sure I read the law as it was intended, and the others found all the loop holes.

The sheer amount of tracking stuff injected into some sites are ridicules, 5, 8 15 or more different ad, tracking and retargeting services and all they have to do is say "Hey, we use cookies". That great, I bet you can tell me what half of them does or where they come from. Because that's another issue, you sign up for "sales tracking" with one company and you add their Javascript snippet AND BOOM, they side load three other services.

The sad part is that users don't even get better service, they just get more ads.
The Ultimate Trip
And yet when I say that the government doesn't like fat because it makes people healthy (less dependent on the government) and faster thinkers (less likely to blindly trust the government) people downvote me.

Impact of obesity on the brain, memory and intelligence:

"But as scientists are learning more about the critical role white matter plays in cognition, new research suggests that obesity may target white matter integrity, leading to a decline in human cognitive performance."

Ironically, I skimmed through this, looking for a key sentence in every paragraph. Didn't find much of value.

People need to learn to condense their point, ideally down to one small paragraph or sentence. For instance,

"Without any data to back it up, I have a suspicion that people's reading skills are suffering because they are used to being flooded with writing in the digital world, and so they don't read everything from top to bottom."

I have another opinion, which is this:

People are now reading more than ever (and writing). Thirty years ago, the same types of people wouldn't be reading anything at all, and spend several hours a day in front of a TV. And they wouldn't be writing text messages, but rather using the telephone.

The reason people are non-linearly scanning text is not because they are managing their time poorly. They are managing their time well in the face of poorly organized, information-sparse rambling.

Most writing out there competing for your attention doesn't deserve it, and in writing that does deserve your attention, there are actually only small "hot spots" which do, not everything.

Non-linear reading isn't a degradation in reading skill; it is a valuable skill in it own right. Schools even teach this to kids: how to skim through text to get the gist of the content so that you can focus on what is relevant. (And they taught this before the "digital age".) You need this skill to get through university. When you're doing research, there are just too many books and papers to sit there going word by word.

So, skim on, friends! And raise a big TL;DR middle finger to ramblers (like what I'm becoming here with this comment).

Why not?
React has a significant learning curve and a different model from regular DOM. It has a significant cost over something like jQuery especially when you already know jQuery.

jQuery works just fine at small enough scale. Once you out-scale jQuery you will have problems that won't be solved just by using a different view library - you need to understand software engineering - which is why everyone who actually uses reacts also uses things like Flux, etc.

My point is jQuery works for what it's used, getting people to switch to React seems like a fad because "the cool kids are doing it".
Amazon seriously need to hire some good UI designers. They produce great stuff but it all looks like it was designed by developers in 1980.
There is plenty of charlatanism in the world of technical analysis, just as there is in the world of fundamental analysis. But you're missing a key point: "technical analysis" is not monolithic. There isn't a single set of rules and indicators, all applied the same way over the same time periods. Most investors (and traders) lose money because of lack of discipline, poor money management, etc. This is true whether technical analysis is used or not.

Instead of creating a straw man argument, let's discuss something simple: trend lines. And let's discuss the most fundamental truth about trend lines: it is absolutely impossible for the current trend to reverse without key trend lines being broken.

Don't take my word for it. Pull up a chart of the S&P 500. The bull market that ended in late 2007 was easily identified by the breaking of long-term trend lines. And the bear market that ended in 2009 was easily identified by the breaking of trend lines as well. Just by use of trend lines alone (and no other technical indicators) you could have identified key turning points in the market.

How you act upon this information, if at all, is your choice. But that has nothing to do with technical analysis. That's investment/trading strategy.
Thanks. I was eagerly waiting for this :)
Alternate chains aren't a broken input issue; it's an issue where not all clients have the same CAs; so if you need to chain to an old 1024-bit root to take care of really old clients, newer clients without 1024-bit roots should be able to validate still. Older versions of openssl need to keep the 1024-bit root around, because the only validate the full chain provided by the server.

Will Our Understanding of Math Deteriorate Over Time?
As an anecdote, I've had some money in both Wealthfront and Betterment for the past 2 years. Both seem to be performing about the same, though betterment has better (but still very lacking) metrics on performance. They both show you what your money has done, but since I didn't deposit into both of them exactly the same amounts at exactly the same time every time, I can't compare them. Betterment at least shows some basic metrics about the time-weighted return over given periods in addition to your actual return, though you can't put in custom time windows. And of course, neither show you total fees you've paid in a time period.

The time-weighted rate of return on my betterment allocation of 80% stocks/ 20% bonds is -0.9% in the past 12 months and 12.6% total since May 2013 when I opened it.

By comparison the Vanguard 500 fund VFINX is up 3.8% in the past 12 months and 22.6% since May 2013 and looks like it has a 0.17% fee. So, it definitely does seem better than Betterment in every way. Meanwhile the S&P is up 4.6% in the past 12 months and up 23.8% since May 2013. Betterment and Wealthfront are very exposed to foreign markets, which somewhat ironically have been doing worse than the S&P for basically the whole time these services have existed yet they seem to be growing fast.
I'm not against all saturated fats, actually short and medium chain fatty acids are incredibly beneficial for health. The issue is more with longer chain fatty acids, particularly palmitic acid (which is the fatty acid your body synthesizes to dispose of excess carbohydrates).

I am definitely not against carbs in general, though sugars containing fructose are definitely a bad choice in terms of general health. In my opinion, carbs are healthier than fats as long as you can dispose of them quickly; elevated blood glucose is a real problem though. For people who are sedentary and have poor insulin sensitivity, mono- and poly- unsaturated fats will generally be a better choice in terms of overall health.
Same here.

I think if it was not for the convoluted Revlog [1] format (which makes it impossible to do a clean-room reimplementation of Mercurial Core), we could see a bit more of adoption by having third-party libraries to interface with Hg repositories. It _might_ have been one of the reasons Git, not Mercurial, was added to TFS [2].

"it was a binary, so no one could just compare the old code to the new and figure out exactly what the problem was and launch an attack"

Sorry but this is plain false, people doing vulnerability research for closed source software do compare the binaries to understand the patch.
Greece has already had quite a bit of debt relief, it just did not seem to make much of a difference. And as long as they don't have an IRS with teeth and are willing to go after the black money parked in .ch the current situation will likely remain.

It's a structural Greek problem, not a German one.
Because fat has 9 calories / gram, carbohydrates have 5 and water has zero. So while a tint of olive oil in your salad might have some theoretical health benefits if you are skinny, replacing those deep fried chips with baked chips has immediate benefits if you are overweight - you will probably eat the same quantity anyway but half the calories.

Fat makes you fat without a proportional decrease in your appetite, it's as simple as that.
I think you're incorrect and remembering performance that never existed based on shortcomings you glossed over at the time because you have that all too human bias of believing that things were better when you were younger.

> What is perhaps more interesting, though, is whether Twitter ought to pursue an algorithmic feed

When Twitter imposes a default algo driven timeline, instead of realizing that most of us power users are there because we want a raw reverse-chronological feed of our choosing, I will probably leave Twitter - or let it become a zombie account as my Facebook profile is today.
Correlation does not imply causation my friend. Carbs do not imply obesity, neither does fat. Only excess calories (of any macronutrient, including protein) will lead to bodyweight storage, and eventually obesity.
You have HTML people? This raises a question I've had for a while about the "full stack" term. I come from the asp.net world, where I have never dealt with the concept of "full stack", simply because there has never been an alternative. From day one in the 90s I've been expected to do everything from html to sql. Is "full stack" primarily a non-Microsoft matter? If not, what proportion of Ms devs have HTML people, js people, etc. vs "full stack"?

What? Did Greece just emerge from the largest military conflict on the planet utterly destroyed? Or did they more or less mismanage their eco? Not collecting taxes and generous retirements (hair dressing considered hazardous as mining thus eligible for early retirement, for example) is not comparable to emerging battered and destroyed from the bloodiest conflict in history.

And it's not as if their debt hasn't been restructured.
If there is a private benefit that can be realized then it will incentivize people to write more code, making more tools and solutions available to everyone, even if for a fee.
