Commercial companies making a profit.
You have said absolutely nothing in your post, on your site or in your subReddit. Can you explain in simple terms what your system is, how I as an individual will interact with it and what benefits it will produce?

The review system is really insane. I remember working in the SBT division on the AAPT group as an SDET and constantly being taken back by how archaic most of the practices were there. Which I can only imagine were in place because everyone was afraid to rock the boat too much or take a chance on something and come up short for their annual performance review.

On a similar vein there is just a mountain of half ass'd internal tools that only exist because someone had to mark off a checklist item on their review commitments but never bothered to maintain. Which would be fine except whenever you have to tackle a project if there's an internal solution it will always be favored over the open source or license-able alternatives.

I'd constantly get flak for asking questions of senior management like why don't we have unit test coverage, why doesn't our system allow for any sort of dependency injection, why don't we have continuous integration, why are we using this shitty internal browser test bed instead of selenium and selenium grid, etc. I spent a lot of time working on pushing modern standards around testing test code, designing reusable testing frameworks, leveraging continuous delivery etc. and to be honest it hurt my career trajectory quite a bit over what just following marching orders and writing crap code and commitment items would have done.

You should consider yourself lucky for being in the entertainment division however. That group seems a lot more progressive than most of the other divisions. The developer quality seems to be better as well. I was really horrified at the low level of competency of about 60% of my coworkers.
Org-mode has an exporter for latex and making new skeletons for its export is fairly straight forward. I am liking it a lot and have changed to that over writing tex by hand nowadays.
The application clearly states that it sends an opt-out notification anonymously after opt-out. I think they're doing better than most in terms of transparency. Is there room for improvement? Sure. But I don't think attacking people who are already doing pretty well compared to the field is the best use of anyone's time.

This is just picking on an open-source team which already has shown themselves to take user feedback about privacy seriously. If you are so suspect of third parties that any device or application sending any network traffic without previous authorization is of serious concern to you, there's a lot more important and impactful products to voice concern about. Like pretty much any other part of Microsoft.

cottage cheese is typically high in casein, not whey protein. You can buy casein protein powder just like whey, but it is not as easy to mix. My preferred casein alternative is greek yogurt. Oikos makes a high protein one that has 15g of protein. In this study you can see the effects of both whey and casein protein intake -> https://sci-hub.tw/10.1159/000012817. Protip: Eat your greek yogurt or cottage cheese just before bed as it takes upwards of 8 hours for your system to digest casein (2 for whey), helping provide your body with additional protein during sleep.

I could go on but just an interesting side thought: people who design these should get a special title - Meta PM? Seems like you have to meet a very high bar of minimum stuff “everyone” has, at about the same price, while still having some degree of Jobs-ian stubbornness because you will NEVER satisfy everyone
I used it to MVP a site that didn’t gain traction so never achieved “high volume”; single process with multiple readers and single writer. My tests showed it beat Postgres by a large margin on mixed workload (reads and writes 50/50). The use case was “single db per account/user”. I’d use it again.
This season, watching family members struggle with new devices, it struck me that even if empowered tech enhancers don't have poor vision (or other suboptimal abilities), they should at least identify with the struggles of their parents and people they know, and this will increasingly be reflected as cohorts grows older. My dad has always been involved in technology and he eagerly explores new features, but he's very often tripped up by poor usability choices. But in general with open competition things have been getting startlingly better each month.

Worth mentioning Lasik doesn't help here, it only helps with far vision, it can actually make near vision worse because it can cause other visual aberrations.
I would say less erratic. Same initial, but Monads and Category theory are much more watered down.
I'm currently reading "Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results" and have to say it's could work for me. I've battled with starting/stopping side projects. This book presents an interesting argument in that willpower and making "stupid simple" tasks that you do every day (his example is one pushup) is the key to building a habit since repetition is what is necessary to build a true habit.

We don't use it at work so I can't say I've done anything at scale, but I was very happy with it making this internal-ish website for work http://heyzaphackday.com/hackdays

I don't think I had a single 5xx or 404 when developing it, and last I checked 1 500 error in production. I know it's a small site, but it's still pretty unlikely that I'd make a small Rails site without typoing something/misremembering a SQL column name/making a bad assumption about e.g. always getting a value from a cookie.
My impression is that most of those who badmouth PHP never bothered to find out what has changed since 4.x days.
OP's video doesn't really have anything to do with drones as such, just loads an mp4 of drone footage. The fact that it's drone footage is completely incidental.

But lots of people are doing real computer vision and object tracking on drones and robots, and have been doing for years.

I really wish iFixit would do a formal root cause analysis every so often. As an electrical engineer running a small manufacturing operation, I'm always very interested in the failure rates and root causes that much higher volume products see.

Lead free solder melts somewhere in the 200C-300C range. The solder we use melts at 230 degrees, and we reflow our PCBs in a Vapor Phase Soldering oven, which precisely limits the PCB temperature to 230C. Reflowing a PCB multiple times risks solder paste flux exhaustion, and also risks parts on the bottom side of the PCB falling off. Also, some parts are rated only for a very limited time at these temperatures, even when they are not running. Cooking these parts multiple times results in a dramatic reduction in lifespan.

It wouldn't surprise me if Apple did an x-ray inspection of every BGA part on every device they produce. This isn't common practice in the manufacturing lines that I know about, but I know that it's done in some cases. This would help catch cracks or other defects that would result in a reduced lifespan of the device, as well as detect show stopper issues.

There are a lot of other things that can fail on a PCB due to heat long before the solder will melt on a BGA pin. My guess that this was a mechanical failure inside the PCB. Either a through hole failure (such as a via disconnecting from a PCB trace, since the PCB is undoubtedly a very high layer count producing many fragile connections to long copper vias, which would expand vertically and in radius during temperature cycles) or an inner layer connection defect due to PCB or copper expansion. In either case, cycling the temperature by a large amount could temporarily fix the problem by creating a good enough connection for operation.

The bottom line is higher operating temperature always hurts mean time between failure. This is well studied, and many manufacturers will include plots of the operating temperature vs MTBF. Even though the laptop is working now, all of the components have been exposed to additional extreme additional thermal stress. Everything in the laptop is now much closer to failure. I don't expect the laptop will last much longer.

I'm not familiar with the guts of a MacBook Pro, but if there was a larger than normal gap between the chips and their heat sinks, then this would definitely explain the higher than normal system temperature. Even if the heat sink compound was able to bridge the gap with minimal air bubbles, it's still a pretty poor thermal conductor. This may have been a manufacturing defect that Apple could check for in the future. (Although I would hope they already run the devices for some length of time in their final enclosures while monitoring component temperatures)
I agree with all this. However, HTTPS works today at least somewhat, and nothing else does, at all.

If you want to work on a spec to make cacheable, signed hypertext documents, I will be totally down for helping. But no such spec exists today.

You make 10K a year at a yard sell or selling pot, you owe the IRS money on that income. Just because you're less likely to get caught doesn't make it any less illegal.

Probably the closest "real world" example would be a flea market. Those large flea markets are the google, and the vendors are the independent folks putting ads on their sites. You sell $10k worth of goods at a flea market, you bet your ass that market will have the mechanisms in place to ensure that the IRS knows.

It's the same thing here.

They have a lot of good, basic information explained well.
Pretty cool, but it assumes that many options are independent when they may not be...

If I "reduce military to pre-Iraq war size" and "reduce the number of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to 30,000," can I really save the sum of $49 billion and $169 billion, or am I counting some reductions twice?

If I increase the medicare age to 70 and cap medicare growth, can I really save the sum of $104 billion and $562 billion?

Even assuming the revenues from taxes takes into account reduced economic activity / moving investments outside of the USA, etc., are there effects from combining them that would further reduce revenue?
You can get a free consultation from just about any tax professional. They would have noticed your mistake within a few minutes of talking to you.

The IRS usually takes 3 years to find a mistake like yours. It sounds like you've been filing wrong since 2005. The penalties suck but you got to keep that extra 15% for a really long time.

Most importantly, you have a really long time(6-12 months) from your initial notice from the IRS, before they start trying to collect. You couldn't pay right now even if you had the money, that was my experience anyways. I received a different letter from them, months later, and was finally able to pay.

Everyone knows you don't mess with the IRS. I don't get how you did this wrong for 6 years, never researched it, asked someone, or talked to an accountant. My gut tells me you probably knew what you were doing.

Even if it turns out that the new parsing algorithm doesn't shine in all situations, I think it is nevertheless a welcome development. Compiler and interpreter makers can use this algorithm for those grammars and languages where it actually outperforms Yacc.
> who says they'd want to filter them out completely?

Presumably if they are costing the company money and providing no benefit as you originally said, then they would. But, suppose they don't. What point are you trying to make here?

> [a bunch of stuff about speed laws]

I thought we were talking about an app that allows the reporting of unsafe driving. What do your views on the appropriateness of our speeding laws have to do with it?
Damn, I wish I had the money to make Yahoo an offer. I worked on a service in 2005 that was suppose to compete with del.icio.us, but our service never got off the ground. I've always admired the basic idea of del.icio.us, and I think there are a million interesting things that could be done with that site. Surely if Yahoo is shutting it down, they'd also be willing to sell it cheap? I wonder how cheap?
Sounds as if he wants German...
To save time, the gist of it:

1) Author emails Steve Jobs about algorithm to improve Appstore's discover-ability problem.
2) Steve replies.
3) Author gets strung along by a semi cooperating engineer. 4) A month and a few emails later, he is told: we are not interested.

- At some point the engineer casually mentions that if he (the Author) incorporated, Apple could acquire him (i.e. hire him).
Learn something else??
In which case, let he who has never said he'll do something by a certain date and then forgotten to do it cast the first stone. It ain't me.
If you can be understood as you intended, your communication was effective and therefore "correct" on the most basic level. Beyond that, until there's a formal grammar for English, it's up to YOU to try to conform your language usage for some desired effect (e.g. to appear educated).

I am not a lawyer or legal expert, and to my knowledge rot13 hasn't been tested in the courts. DeCSS has though, and the code is 434 bytes, or you can brute force a key in seconds on a modern system (per Wikipedia). That was litigated, interestingly, and some people may remember 2600 got sued over it.
Can someone explain what the rocket was trying to do? Was it trying to correct itself to land vertically thrusters-first? I also don't understand how it got in that particular trajectory either from this vine.
Just because your eyes passed over the letters doesn't mean you read it. You went in with preconceived notions of what it was going to say and you came out without those preconceptions changed. Reading requires that you actually spend time trying to understand what someone is saying.

I admit it's not entirely clear what the author's point is, but that doesn't mean you get to fill in your own and pretend like the author said it.

I'm pretty skeptical of a lot of feminism, but there's nothing particularly outrageous being said here.
Won't change a thing. All it will take is the good old standby of "disorderly conduct" to determine that a crime has been committed as justification for a seizure. Look at a cop the wrong way and your cash is as good as gone.

Is the opinion that one day humans will "figure out" ecology and reintroduce a bunch of extinct animals out of a need to "repair" what we have done, the opinion of a 12 year old? Because it sounds like it.
datawalke can go nuclear and threaten to drop a dime on the IRS (and the state come to think of it). The boss may think he's being smart by using Simon Legree as his role model but it's set him up for some really severe real world retribution, very possibly including personal bankruptcy (see my earliest reply in this topic for details: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1446428).
> So I learned HTML, CSS

IMO if you don't do HTML/CSS, you aren't a web designer.

> For example, I live the concept of ranking a page higher based on how other sites link to it (ie Google's Pagerank), and would enjoy conceptualizing further improvements,

You don't know the details to understand it isn't as easy as you think. If you think you can conceptually do further improvements, I would really like you to try that. You will get a better picture.

To give you an analogy, I can say that many users are on slow networks and are irritated when their download freezes mid way and they have to do it again. So, it would make sense to have a download implementation in which the user can pause/resume download at will. I can pause a download today, come back tomorrow, resume it and it just works. What more, since I already have some part of the file, I can switch off my system, switch it on, resume the download and still be able to get only remaining chunks.

I can say I conceptually solved a problem but practically, all I did was whine, some wishful thinking and showed my ignorance.

> For a web application, the code might make the entire thing operate, but it never affects the user the way the design or interface does.

You are totally misguided here. I would have a lot to say here but I am afraid you won't be able to relate with it. I am making this assumption because had you been familiar with what it takes to run any significant web app, you won't have made this statement.

I would just like to point out that Google services has minimal interfaces and the users are happy, surely it isn't because of the interface.

Right, so they're doing fine now - and they will be doing fine for the near future.

But no product lines last forever - even Windows is bleeding market share, and upgrade rates are dropping like a brick. It seems a lot of people are happy with Win7 (or even WinXP) and not moving.

This strikes me as a Blackberry situation - market leader by a mile, but attempts to modernize and develop the Next Big Thing have all failed. They have enormous momentum and can coast for a long time - but what happens after? RIM failed to react to changing markets due to iPhone/Android, and arrogantly threw around their (momentum-based) sales numbers. Then those dried up.
That is where this famous quote was cribbed from?

" I divide my officers into four classes; the clever, the lazy, the industrious, and the stupid. Most often two of these qualities come together. The officers who are clever and industrious are fitted for the highest staff appointments. Those who are stupid and lazy make up around 90% of every army in the world, and they can be used for routine work. The man who is clever and lazy however is for the very highest command; he has the temperament and nerves to deal with all situations. But whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace and must be removed immediately!"

Whether artificial neural nets can approximate ODE's and whether neural networks in nature actually do this is not clear. Biology citations please.

I can't believe no one is commenting on this.
So you gave them two offers and they chose the cheaper one? Of course they did.

Here's what you should do. Find more prospective users. Tell them that you're considering $50/year and $100/year (Btw, these would sound cheaper if they were $5/mo and $10/mo, plus it wouldn't require as much of a commitment.) and ask which they prefer.

If they all say that they wouldn't pay for either, you know that $50/year is actually too expensive. If they say that they prefer $50/year and that $100/year is too expensive, you know that $50/year is probably ok.

Then again, remember that your users will lie to you about what they want and what they're willing to pay for. So you don't really know until they're actually paying for it.

I question the relevancy of that article from Forbes regarding Windows Phone. It is written by a Contributor, so it is basically an editorial piece. The sentence "Nokia becomes a low-end smartphone-maker" strikes me as particularly weird, as Nokia was always a low-end phone maker.

While their sales are down in the US, they are on a (very slow) rise almost everywhere else. In Latin America, WP is now ranked 2nd (http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/22/windows-phone-snags-second-...).

WP is definitely not a widely successful platform, but it is not yet a total failure, and given some more attention from Microsoft, it may yet succeed in being relevant.
