i would totally pay a few dollars a month for an ad free experience on twitter

So glad that when they realized they made a mistake they immediately came out and said exactly what happened, and the detailed steps they are taking to fix it. Nothing but respect for them.

Haha in complete contrast to what Yahoo prob would have done. (Given that Yahoo is a much larger company with more legal and bureaucracy so they may be unable to do this. but still, 3 yrs???)

see above comments, but it is just as likley he was a sex traffiker who picked up women at the homeless shelter

the fbi/nsa does a similar program where they supply a large number of tor exit nodes

This is kinda like learning CS theory - kinda useful to keep in mind for other things, but never actually used. ie -> set theory, Finite automata, Turing machines etc...

with the way things are going, they just need to wait a few more months to get a even better deal.

no matter how good you are, if someone (NSA) got their hands on your hardware at the source there is not much you can do.

The best programmers are always learning new languages, programs, frameworks etc. Avg programers get good at 1 thing and stay with it.

The real difference is that the first group is training their brain how to learn and adapt quickly - that is the skill that will keep them employed long past the days of simply writing code.

Writing python or C is not the skill. The skill is how quickly can you deal with a new problem you have never seen before.

In case you are looking for the important information, it seems to be MD5 hash without salt.

I think this is sum of the parts different than the whole.

I was just pointing out that cruel has a very negative connotation ie - inhuman, barbaric, sadistic, evil, abominable etc. Applying it in the previous use case seemed excessive and implied a more radical tone than I believe the author (as he mentioned) wanted.

> cruel

def: willfully causing pain or suffering to others, feeling no concern about it.

Shaming is undesirable, but I wouldn't say publicly knowing how you rank compared to others would constitute "cruel". Its really how the world works - in sports you see exact stats of how your do, publicly traded companies/CEOs are meticulously analysed publicly on how they perform etc. etc.

There does need to be a balance btwn hypercompetiton, and "everyone gets a trophy" mentality. I feel like the US has swung far to one side and china the other. Best would be some where in the middle. Maybe have a live list of the top 10-15% of student scores.

I am a parent, and don't want to hurt my daughter, but at the same time a little pain and suffering makes you stronger.

So I know this was posted a bit ago, but I feel like this would be kinda funny to mess with. 1 - Can it detect covering the camera? If so does different color coverings allow it to procede? If not I would put a funny video on my phone and hook that in front of the video.

You could always just see how it is contacting your webcam and then just change the stream of data to some other source that is not hte webcam

Mic -> maybe mess around with how it is contacting your mic and (ports? idk) and load some really annoying music to pipe through to it.

Physical Locaiton -> do laptops have built in GPS or is it just off your ip address? if so could you just use VPN? Have it come from like some random place.

> There simply isn't enough work to go around.

Dissagree. Technolgy works best when augmented with humans, however the training needed for ppl (ie truck drivers) may take longer to retool their minds then they have life left. So there may be a generation gap in jobs. Also consider space as the final frontier. How much work will be needed to build fleets of ships to colonize space and all that entails?

I was worried you where going to say it took the plane offline

The art of not giving a fuck link was actually pretty good read

Also may give the false impression that you are becoming smarter though contact with constant flow of info

I think all SM has good and bad parts. It's all addictive to some degree or another or it wouldn't be widely used. I think the addiction in hn is not the articles but the comments

Twitter really depends on who you follow. I don't follow friends, but thought leaders I respect. I get r of the best ideas and all my news from there

Pandora has a successful 3$ month ad free program

I would absolutely pay for a twitter account. to remove ads but also support a viable path to stay independent and functional. Twitter does a huge amount of good in the world, and are important for freedom of ideas in many countries

Other side of the coin is that law makers who have held up self driving cars and govt not funding enough grants is to blame

When fb starts getting into the business of censorship, it's time there monopoly is investigated.

"knowing" someone is a murderer is actually quite difficult with all the recent discoveries of "junk science" that have historically been used to prove guilt.

so sad. im glad that in the age of the internet stories like this can come out and reach many people. I just hope that the next generation of leaders who grew up on the internet exposed to many differing ideas will have the courage/determination to find real solustions fix problems like this.

Both DeBeers recommend links are getting 404.

From the wiki article. Never heard about a eq score before.

Mean EQ for mammals is around 1, with carnivorans, cetaceans and primates above 1, and insectivores and herbivores below. This reflects two major trends. One is that brain matter is extremely costly in terms of energy needed to sustain it.[19] Animals which live on relatively nutrient poor diets (plants, insects) have relatively little energy to spare for a large brain, while animals living from energy-rich food (meat, fish, fruit) can grow larger brains. The other factor is the brain power needed to catch food. Carnivores generally need to find and kill their prey, which presumably requires more cognitive power than browsing or grazing.[20][21] The brain size of a wolf is about 30% larger than a similarily sized domestic dog, again reflecting different needs in their respective way of life.[22]

why not just add a "spam flag" on all posts and let the users clean it up? Or something like a downvote.

HAHA

  When he took off the headset, there was a single tear in   his eye, and he was smiling... “We’d like to fund you”

   cancel every unconstitutional executive action,

memorandum and order issued by President Obama.

I think we need some claification on what is "constitutional"
