> They still let the Ayatollah Tweet.

Presumably, while Don, Jr. did the same thing when making the same complaint, you mean “Iran’s Supreme Leader”, which is a unique position. There are a large number of Ayatollahs (and even several Grand Ayatollahs, including Supreme Leader Khamenei).
AFAIK no Indian court has complained about VPN access to twitter accounts. The parent seems to be right, there seems to be an overreaction by Twitter to an issue under consideration, not even completed. Twitter might have, as you said, just said that it is easier to suspend the account rather than bothering with geo-based blocking.
That sucks, I really liked using Pidgin/Adium with Facebook chat.

What's the incentive for a driver not to mark that they have allergies? You're essentially just giving them a checkbox "I don't want to deal with people who have service animals"
Though it starts out feeling a little dismissive, I think your comment does a good job of explaining the problem we have now is not limited to the mico level, but that it's a macro level problem.

Now it's time to start talking about how we're going to fix that problem you have so rightly pointed out.

It's clear the rules need to change, and it's clear we need to claw back the gargantuan power we gave over to mega-corps.
I have also not received any information about a pay increase, not even adjusting for cost of inflation. I'd suppose that this is one of those times where a job change would be appropriate, right?

Not every feature is launched everywhere. If they want to test out a new feature they probably pick a single market and try it out there I'd bet.

> I think they should do it, but it probably doesn't come up often enough to be worth it.

That's the thing, it's not worth it to the people that are not affected by these situations. To those that are, it's life changing. Which is part of the reason ADA appears to side so heavily with those with disabilities. A tiny inconvenience to a driver means a blind person can make it to work on time. The driver should of course be compensated for their time and any cleanup required should also be covered - that's a no brainer.

Totally understand the fear of dogs or allergies, but people systematically abuse those situations which further reduces ease of access for those with real disabilities. Emotional support animals on planes for example - plenty of people need them but a lot of others just used it to get their animal on the plane.
I've been aware of PFAS contaminants in water supplies but had no idea it's found in dental floss too. Thanks for the info.. What is the FDA doing? But then again, having worked in the federal workforce. I am not really surprised.

That would ruin half the reason to own a media empire! All the big news sources are in bed with many corporations special interests, and political lobbies . The only time they have to disclose anything is if they're talking about the buying and selling of stock.

I believe this is very interesting, even perhaps the way of the future for SaaS business apps.

Consumers and small businesses are more easy going about having their info hosted elsewhere. But medium to large businesses, maybe because of the competitive nature of the activity and the huge amount of resources at their disposal, are more wary of having their data stored where it's "out of their control".

Although many businesses have adopted "the cloud" for certain activities i believe most computation is still done in-house, even if there are some disadvantages to it. A platform that enables them to keep the information to themselves while taking advantage of better infrastructure providers would certainly accelerate the adoption of "cloud" technologies for new applications.

There still remains the problem of legacy systems, which through virtualization will be more easily transported to a "cloud" provider.

So let's see what happens, good luck on your enadeavor.
> You mean I can't automatically embed HFJ faces, right? If I painstakingly Photoshop my hedlines, I can use Archer for that, right?

Yes on both counts.

> Also, when implying that font-face has dealbreaking rendering quality issues, are you referring to their performance for setting body copy, or do you think it flat out doesn't work for display type either?

Depends on the typeface, or more specifically on whether it was explicitly tested and "optimized" for @font-face use, which typically refers to generating hinting info needed to make the font render decently on non-Apple platforms. For example, Museo will render great in all browsers, while something like Avenir will look bloody awful in smaller sizes in FF (not that it is available for online use to begin with). This narrows down the list of usable @font-face typefaces quite a bit, it also complicates testing and what not.
Indeed. Right now I only have pidgin, evolution, transmission, two nautilus windows, a telnet client and firefox (with three tabs) running. It's completely unnecessary and I should be forced to never have more than one running at a time.
Agreed. I'm currently in your same position, only a few years ahead (in my second year of grad school, currently). When I try to explain math research to people, I too am left with strange looks.

I think most people honestly think that mathematicians sit around and multiply larger and larger numbers together.

Part of the problem of explaining the true nature of mathematical research is one of language. For example, I study Lie algebras and representations. People ask me "What are Lie algebras?" and pretty much the only definition I can give that is understandable is "Lie Algebras are a kind of algebraic structure that is useful in many fields of science, including quantum physics." This is an answer many people understand (on the surface), but it really doesn't say anything.

What's worse, most of the time, when we justify or explain our research, it is by connecting it to fields that the person may be more used to (astronomy, biology, physics, economics, etc.). But for those of us in pure math, we really do not think about these fields in our day-to-day work. That is, I study Lie algebras because of their beautiful structure and the interesting combinatorics behind them, not because they are useful in some other field.

So a better answer to the question "What are Lie algebras?" would be something like "Lie algebras are vector spaces with additional algebraic structure that gives rise to beautiful and deep combinatorics. They occur naturally as certain sets of square matrices, and are a kind of generalization of the ideas of symmetry." However, this is mostly unintelligible to most people who haven't taken some mathematics beyond calculus, and I find that it sounds condescending to a lot of people, which turns them off from listening to any more explanation.

What I've taken to saying lately in response to a question along the lines of "What do you do in math research?" is something like "Mathematicians create new knowledge from existing knowledge. They take things that the human race already knows, and using only logic, they deduce new things. This allows them to find fascinating relationships all throughout the world."

I find this response to be pretty good. It's mostly accurate, it's mildly interesting, and best of all, it's short.
Start off with Heroku. It's free to get started with just 1 dyno, and you don't need to worry about VPS administration or installing Passenger/Nginx/Capistrano. Another benefit, since you will be handling user uploads, is that you can use Amazon S3, since Heroku runs on Amazon's platform. (see http://docs.heroku.com/s3)

You can always move parts of your app off Heroku if you start to outgrow it.
Thanks all for the feedback, but I still prefer to not sell to the government. You may be right that it is less scary than it looks, hence a lost opportunity, but I prefer to never deal with them as a customer.
The CAIB set up a dramatic recreation of the incident in which it used a nitrogen gun to fire a piece of foam at ~500mph at a test panel. NASA was not happy with the idea of the experiment feeling it was a waste of time. There were audible gasps from the crowd of engineers when the foam punched a head-sized hole in the panel. Bingo.

Yes, experience should bring improvement in all areas. Not uniform improvement, but improvement to some degree. Expect that over time you will gain significantly in some areas.

Another point is that teams are ideally made of people with complimentary skills and mindsets. Try to be the best "you" instead of trying to be as good a "Jim" as your coworker Jim. Bring something to the table that Jim isn't so good at. Even if Jim is awesome, there's probably something that you can do better. Even if it's a "soft" skill like ferreting out hidden requirements or something.

> but if you have a couple of people living in San Francisco, you burn through it very quickly.

Sweden is known to buckle under foreign pressure.

Perhaps threats are unnecessary.

It would also be possible to bring back the red dot, on high-voted comments. Perhaps the dot can be made bigger as the vote count increases. That would act as a pretty effective must-read signal, I think, without compromising any of the goals of hiding upvote count.
You've hit upon the answer yourself: it can't be a preference because hiding the vote count is intended to have a corrective effect on the voting and commenting behavior of the community at large.

If anyone could switch their vote count on, the majority would -- including myself -- to the detriment of us all.

Don't need it.

e: I can code all night if I have to, and caffeine can totally help with that. I just don't need it to sleep deprive myself.
Lately I've been drinking an energy drink that contains:

- Caffeine

- Dimethylaminoethanol (shown to increase vigilance and alertness as well as improve mood)

- Methylhexanamine (stimulant)

- 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP, mood enhancer)

- Yohimbine (stimulant)

- Vitamin B12 (minor deficiency can cause fatigue, depression, and poor memory)

- Potassium citrate (not sure what it's for, Wikipedia says it prevents burning when you pee)

It seems to work for me better than regular coffee or energy drinks, but I probably wouldn't recommend it if you are on medication or have a heart condition, it's pretty intense at first.

So they get fired, then what? They get hired by another company for more money because now they have experience. That's what I mean about not being punished.

At least in Arizona where the top end is 75MPH, speed limits on highways seem reasonable for the environment. There are plenty of opportunities to go careening off the side of a mountain or into oncoming traffic because a ¼ mile earlier nothing would suggest that the natural momentum from the grade of the mountain road was excessive for the upcoming switchback.

So they could set up some arbitrary obstacles to slow people down prior to the natural contour of the terrain, or, you know, throw up a sign which indicates a safe speed for the upcoming section of highway.

I've been told this a couple times. I doubt I'd thrive in that world though, unless I was selling something I actually gave a damn about.

IDK, is guile a scheme? guile is it's own thing, but it's definitely a scheme. What about racket? Racket has a whole bunch of stuff that mit-scheme doesn't. But it's still kind of in the scheme family. That's the parallel I was drawing. That and the statement that Hickey made in his History of Clojure that Clojurescript _was_ clojure, not some kind of spinoff.

I'm certainly not detracting from Janet and Fennel, but they _are_ quite close to clojure proper. There is a clear lineage.

>while the average worker can be anywhere in their career including eventually being a CEO one day

From the article:

> our indifference lies in a distinctly American cultural optimism. At the core of the American Dream is the belief that anyone who works hard can move up economically regardless of his or her social circumstances.

Aside from the factual error in the notion that there's more social mobility in the US than other countries, there is a difference between "anyone can become CEO" and "everyone will become CEO". If antebellum southern plantations had been structured such that one of the slaves might occasionally become the owner, it would not make it acceptable.
There simply aren't enough cyclists to be a voting block so it's a chicken and egg problem. People aren't going to cycle because it's dangerous because there aren't enough people to vote in change for cyclists. It just goes around in circles.
The trouble is that due to COPPA and probably similar laws in other countries, there are huge legal headaches involved in offering any kind of online account to under-13s - especially one which is shared with a whole bunch of third parties like Google Play Games is every time you log into a game. So I can't imagine Google changing that any time soon. Even just offering content that under-13s might plausibly set up adult accounts to access exposes them to fairly substantial legal risk.
This is great, and replicates a feature I really like about PRISM: the ability to step through your model's transitions to see that they do what you think they do (and are enabled when you think they are). I notice in the screenshots the next states are labeled Child 1-N, wonder whether there will be an update to map those children to the names of the actions taken in the spec (although that feature would probably require interpreting the spec itself instead of just the dotfile).

We also finally have a TLA+ state visualizer! One of the really neat ideas included with Runway (RIP, F in the chat, etc.). You write the visualizations in D3 I guess?

You probably won't believe me, but I went from being a directionless loser to going to med school and becoming a successful doctor after an epiphany during an LSD trip. I also invested a 5 figure sum into bitcoin when it was $3 a coin and am now a multimillionaire.

I'm not even going to justify any of the other silly stuff you said with a response.
You're probably right; spec conformance is a problem. What should be done about it? If the spec itself isn't all that bad, then we should try to improve implementations. Maybe tools can be developed to help detect implementation flaws. Or if the letter of the spec is the problem, but the protocol/framework itself is good, then why not rewrite an alternative spec, similar to what was done recently for HTTP/1.1?
"Say what? The companies already know how much they're paying everyone else. The only one who doesn't know is you."

I'm talking about company A knowing all of the salaries of company B and C.

Here is a link I found talking about Swedish salaries (2012):

http://lostinstockholm.com/2012/01/10/average-salaries-in-sw...

Most salaries for all occupations across the board are almost the same. I believe this is one of the results of public tax/salary information.

"Because you can make a convincing argument that you're worth 20% more."

Like I said, if everything is public, it won't matter. If I see that all of my competitors are paying 20% less (which won't be difficult to aggregate with everything public..a search engine for employers will popup in no time) I know that even if the potential employee goes somewhere else, they won't get a higher wage. Why would I pay them any more?

On an Individual basis, I can also figure out exactly what you were paid at your last job (instead of guess work/relying on what you are asking). If you were paid $50K at your last job, why am I going to pay you $70K?

"The powerful already have those tools. This is about giving those same tools to the less powerful as well."

I'm not complaining coz I'd do the same if I was in YC. HN is just like TechCrunch in that YC startups 'unfairly' get more exposure than non-YC ones. Building unfair advantages is essential to startup success.
