it's a spin class you can do from home. Plenty of people already pay high prices for spin classes, and it adds the convenience of being able to participate from home. It makes sense that it would be popular, especially among the middle class demographic spin classes are usually aimed at.
A good XMPP solution for non-techs is quicksy.im (which is based on the very solid Android Client 'Conversations').

However, while I use XMPP on a daily basis, we have one big issue: There is no good iOS client. So far I have tested ChatSecure, Monal and Siskin, which all support OMEMO end-2-end encryption, but none comes even close to the quality you would expect. ChatSecure seems to be the most mature, but its development seems to have stalled and it has issues like not resuming the connection when the server changes the certificate (pretty often with letsencrypt) until the user confirms the new certificate (if the certificate is valid doesn't matter).

So I think XMPP is the right solution to the problem (being federated and an IETF standard), but the eco system is in need of developers who are willing to bring quality to the clients for all platforms.
They shot one, hosed them all down with tear gas and OC to the point of a police officer needing medical attention for too much OC exposure, and 3 other protestors are dead for unlisted causes.

If that had happened when protestors burned down a police station, destroyed miles of shops, threw molotov cocktails at a federal courthouse or any of the other riots in the past few months, there would be half of our politicians shouting to end all policing.
I have to say: I don't know, but royalties may be also paid by upstream suppliers, as there are patents on specific chemicals. There's a chance these chemicals are made e.g. in Japan.
Good point. I should have mentioned monetization is not an issue. In other words, if what we aim to build were in an app store it would be free anyway.

Basically I'm asking whether HTML5 will be mature enough both in terms of functionality and browser market share in around 6 months time.
I think it's an April fool joke- This article is atleast couple of years old.

What advantage is this providing except job security for developers that have to port working HTTP/1.1 systems to HTTP/2&3 and WebSockets?

Have you used HTTP/1.1 comet-stream? I recommend you look at this sites source before you commit further: http://fuse.rupy.se
Tumblr didn’t die, it was killed. Not intentionally but by idiocy.
Why do I feel like devs themselves are trying to kill Firefox. Previously hiding close all tabs functionality and now this...

I don't really understand what sort of demographic all they trying to look for? Clearly they see little value in supporting power users...
Signal is still an improvement over other non-federated messengers in that it's open-source, so you actually can try to improve the situation, although it's notoriously difficult. As an example of more platform support: https://github.com/signalapp/ringrtc/pull/12

signal-cli is an example of a 3rd party client which is tolerated for now: https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli

The main problem right now is that they don't have enough developers to take care of everything, but it's not specific to centralized services (no developer == no code). If you care about it, you can develop your own client using their library (à la signal-cli).

Regarding your last paragraph: I could probably list 20 features I'd like to see in Signal. That doesn't mean I want somebody implementing them with no guarantee about how securely they are implemented. One of the main goals of Signal is to provide guarantees against dragnet surveillance, and that constraint takes precedence.
I think your comment came off poorly because just imagine what the author would feel reading it?
(I’m not the author)

All his problems are because he is 15 and he should wait and it’ll be fine eventually, just ignore everything? Everyone already tells him that and it clearly distresses him and you say the same. I don’t think it’s all that kind
I think most politically minded people consider FB to be an unethical company. On top of dwindling user numbers, FB might be on its way out if they truly think people will be okay with this.
It's basically the same as a bank run, where you ask for your money back but it's not actually there. But it's leveraged because it's stock not money and the stock is comtroled by a cartel; you cants make some to settle your debt.
This is apparently a bit of a myth. There was some knowledge of safe versus unsafe water. “Clean” water supplies weren’t uncommon and alcohol wasn’t a common substitute for clean drinking water.

That said, the beer was often weak and watered down so any mention of chronic use should be tempered by the strength of the drink.
It's a distinction without a difference when that distinction is merely to include less detail. I don't consider doc-driven implementation to imply waterfall, though. It's just as close to BDD.
It seems more like a Canadian convention to me.
Alright, thanks. I'll give Clojure a shot at some point.
I've played around with lisp a tiny bit in the context of reading SCIP, but that's about it.
a way to support users directly. some version of what Brave does.
Dairy, legumes like beans and lentils, and protein supplements like whey powder will take care of your protein needs.

It's a bit harder for vegans, but still doable. Look up Clarence Kennedy, the vegan Irish weightlifter.
Thanks for the link, that is interesting. Of course, there were no startups willing to eschew traditional hiring practices back then.
OP here: I'm a big fan of Analog Devices' work, and recommend them to our students as a reference for what a good datasheet should look like.

I'm perpetually on the lookout for other great datasheets, hence the Ask HN.
Looooove it!
There are Debian (https://packages.debian.org/sid/admin/lnav) and Ubuntu (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/admin/lnav) packages available from other maintainers. I use the RPM at my day-job, so I use OBS for that. I've not spent time to setup OBS to build DEBs. I'll look into it, though.
There is nothing that runs on one Mac that doesn't run on all the others. Apple's device classes are getting confusing, but at least everything in a category has access to the full ecosystem (either iOS or OS X).
Microsoft has taken a leaf out of Apple's book and simplified product lines and names, and are up front about availability and configurations. Other PC and laptop manufacturers seem to go out of their way to make things as confusing for the consumer as possible. I was briefly contemplating getting the Asus Zenbook UX305 but it is available in different configurations in (different) global markets, with the European market seemingly getting a very raw deal in terms of RAM and SSD size. As always it is unclear where I should buy them (obligatory nonfunctioning map with resellers on their website) and when they are available. They also have way too many different models available. I swear I will never buy anything again from manufacturers that do this.
Yes, it's totally legal, depending on the state you live in (I think there are regulations in, e.g. California, about some questions).

There is no compulsion to answer, however.
Shipping noise can travel much further underwater than through the air. If the effect being shown is real then I wouldn't be shocked if sound were the culprit.
Isn't this what fonera was(is) trying to achieve for some years now? http://corp.fon.com/us/this-is-fon/ .

Anyway, in my home country (europe), with a fiber optic connection plan (80ch tv+net+phone) for about 40€/month you also get 3G connectivity included. In the US I pay ~$35 for 10Mbps rcn internet only.

I used to have my european wifi router open but since everyone in the neighborhood has wifi and the really cheap 3g connectivity is ubiquitous, I ended up setting up wpa.
Neither do I.

While we all need our times off, a team needs to mesh well enough to be able to eat with each other at least a few times a week. If that can't happen, there's something profoundly wrong with the team.

If "Joe" doesn't ever want to eat with the team, I would prefer not to work with "Joe", given the choice. I'd like to work with humans, not with "Joe who doesn't want to talk about anything but work".

Well, that's how I feel. Others may differ.
Yes, Joel is COMPLETELY unaware of the differences between introverts and extroverts. Except for the fact that he is an introvert and runs two companies filled with a substantial percentage of introverts.

The reason that lunch here works so well is because the people we hire are fun and enjoyable people (even the introverts) so you don't have to pretend to like the other people at the lunch table, you actually do.
As someone who works on software for jailbroken phones, I just want to make it clear that jailbreaking and piracy are not the same thing.

Yes, jailbreaking makes piracy possible, but Cydia has multiple warnings about adding the repositories required for piracy. In fact, our best statistics show less than half of all the jailbroken devices have pirated an app.

I agree with your points, but I don't want people to misunderstand the point of jailbreaking: jailbreaking is about controlling your own device and doing things the App Store doesn't even conceptually allow.

One reason I used wmii instead of the default is because the default stunk. Unity is raising the bar on the default desktop now; I'll definitely give it another look.

So was the German Z3 not the first digital computer? Or were the Germans ahead of the Allies technologically in this case?
Well, 8888-8888-8888-8888 is a dog whistle! Do not underestimate the power of numerology!
Sure but could you come up with an example in which organized crime from gangs (theft, robbery, gun and knife violence, drugs, etc.) are less serious than bike theft?
So, what does this map tell us? Where bikes are being used, bikes will be stolen. The higher the proportion of expensive bikes, the more thefts. Unfortunately one of the facts of life, but do we really need a map for that?
Don't think so. It's telling me there's an issue with the binary's signature. (I'm using a macbook air M1, so maybe it works fine with x86)

In any case I guess it'll get fixed eventually.
> I don't think that Godel showed that there were statements that can't be proven in any system.

He definitely didn't, since we know of systems that are capable of proving any statement. It's sufficient for the system to be internally inconsistent.

Outside of that, we'd need to be a little more clear about what we mean by "there are statements that can't be proven in any system". I would bet that it is not the case that there is a single special statement with a fixed meaning which all consistent systems are incapable of proving. In the general case, I would expect that a statement, taken by itself, would constitute a consistent (if uninteresting) system. That system would be easily able to prove its only axiom.

In my mind, the incompleteness theorem says that a consistent system of "sufficient power" cannot prove its own consistency. We could reify that into a statement that looks like "This system is consistent"; that's what I'm trying to rule out above by referring to "a statement with a fixed meaning". "This system" would refer to different things within different systems.

Wikipedia says this:

> The first incompleteness theorem states that no consistent system of axioms whose theorems can be listed by an effective procedure (i.e., an algorithm) is capable of proving all truths about the arithmetic of natural numbers.

> For any such consistent formal system, there will always be statements about natural numbers that are true, but that are unprovable within the system.

> The second incompleteness theorem, an extension of the first, shows that the system cannot demonstrate its own consistency.

This allows for a single statement (say, a result about the natural numbers) that no sufficiently powerful consistent system can prove, but it doesn't require it. The sets of true-but-unprovable statements might be disjoint between two particular systems.
Bike theft on the surface is also one of the easiest crimes to catch thieves.

Simply buy a fleet of bikes, fit trackers and motion alarms to each, somewhere hard to detect like inside the tyres, then park them around the city secured by shitty locks in areas covered by CCTV, and then as soon as any bike moves more than a few feet, go arrest the person moving it.

Considering in a city of 10 Million people, there are probably only 100 who actively walk around with bolt cutters, it should be a simple case of finding every thief.

Once you've found the thieves, the harder task is making them stop stealing bikes. Encourage courts to hand out "get drug free or go to prison" sentences. Offer new identities in new cities to people who have picked friends they regret...
Also go outside.
As with other Office applications, if internet originated document contains VBA code, Excel opens it in read-only mode with disabled code execution and displays warning.

> I am sure it was useful to allow Excel to manipulate other Office programs

Your understanding is backwards. Other Office programs are not special, Excel can manipulate absolutely anything as VBA has a complete access to full Win32 API, that Outlook.Application is a COM object that can be accessed by any other Windows application including VBScript and PowerShell in about the same way.
And as a Hindu (the aforementioned theology in this discussion) I will point out that yoga is not a stand alone exercise or something that needs to entertain you in order for you to continue to practice it, but rather part of a whole discipline of preparing your body in order to sit down and meditate for long periods of time.

And this is the exact reason that these practices should not be divorced from their theological fundamentals in the way that White Abrahamics practice it.

And this is also why you as an Indian should not be happy to let the whole be stripped into parts and sold for money and commoditized down to an entertainment or sport that you are "bored" by.
Depends on your perspective, doesn't it?
Also re-reading I think I misunderstood half of your question.

For us personally we cannot get anywhere close to similar ROI from other platforms like Snap that attempt to be FB let alone contextual targeting.

It probably works better for app instal ads but otherwise it's.

The cookie based ecosystem also doesn't add a ton of value, some studies say between 5-15%.

It's Facebook and Amazon and Google's 1P data that don't rely on cookies.
Quite the same happened to me once : after a day immerged in the zone, I had dreams where I had computer-programming "powers" like cloning things, extending what I could do by "creating" extensions to my body, jumping much higher because I could modify the logics of my environment... all this in a very similar reasoning than when you create code. That dream was an amazing experience!
I have a degree in Molecular Biology but I've switched careers very specifically because of what is described in this article: you roll a die, it shows the wrong number and now your whole career is in jeopardy.

I just decided that it was not worth putting in years of 80 hour weeks into a system where at some point you can just "disappear" due to reasons very much out of your control.

Just writing these paragraphs reminds me how f****** broken academia is.
Thats true but the license users agree to usually says they grant the platform full rights. Users still retain their rights but you would have to contact every reddit user for their permission individually.
Very nice.

A pair of red cherries if you can make pac-man chomp though!
> I imagine a statically typed Python dialect would only have an extra 15 or so lines

Actually you can have a statically typed Python if you want. Have a look at http://docs.cython.org/src/quickstart/cythonize.html

All type declarations are optional. It compiles modules to versions completely interoperable with the rest of Python code. They're importable, behave as you'd expect, etc.
If you have a centralized version control system such as Clearcase or SVN, it's not such a grief to have binaries in VCS, whereas its kind of a problem for git & co.

Google has a legendarily awesome centralized version control system.
This article summarizes the epitome of my experience as an Apple developer. I'm 17 years old and a developer on the app store. The App Store feels opaque and like a black box where I submit builds with little to no feedback or control. I get paid when Apple decides, and could be eradicated from the App Store at a moment's notice.

I realized early on that being featured by Apple was unlikely, and have adopted a sustainable pricing model (a term I was unfamiliar with before reading this piece) to fund my development. I'm certain that by charging $14.99, I stay out of the bottom 47% of developers that make less than $100 a month from the app store. I do not rely on the app store for anything. From visibility to app discovery, I feel that Apple has failed me. When I get support emails, I cannot even refund a single paying user, which means I have to send $14.99 back to the user using PayPal and eat Apple's $4.50 fee for that transaction. It's immensely frustrating and a main reason why I allow users to sign up concurrently on my website using a card (Stripe).

Every part of developing for Apple leads me to this conclusion: I do not matter. My app does not matter.
Marketing attribution is the bane of most marketers' existence, if only because it's never good enough.

No matter which service you're using, you're always going to find funnel use-cases that the service can't track, can't calculate, etc. It's the double edged sword of using an open web.

Your best bet is to sit down, figure out what your channel KPIs are, and then try to do 85% attribution with your different activities. Going for 100%, with GA or any other tool, is just going to drive you mad.
A welfare state is reducing some people's economic security to add to other people's economic security. There is no way that can produce a net increase in entrepreneurship. Plus, a welfare state adds more regulations that block private enterprise in various areas and make it more difficult. Moreover, a welfare state hurts economic growth overall, also dragging down the total amount of entrepreneurship.

>Technical expertise of Mark Karpeles, CEO of Mtgox, as a leader in network security, systems development, and cryptocurrency.

Clearly.

>Mark is a young technopreneur with more than 15 years experience ins oftware development, network administration and entrepreneurship. Mark is well-versed in multiple programming languages, has a strong background in network security, and is well-known in the tech community.

That last part is certainly true now.
Very good article. Been doing most of my web development in the .NET area, starting with ASP.NET and the strict XHTML, I've picked up the habit to always write the /> variant, so it's nice to read about which one to use in the HTML5 age :)
Nice write-up!
I have never thought about shrinking the closing tags to </>, if it were supported it would shrink large HTML-pages quite nicely.
Has there been a proposal at W3C to use that kind of a format back in the good old days of HTML 1.0?
If they can produce logs of every single transaction they've ever done, including moving coins to the cold wallet, then anyone who wants to could examine the blockchain and match up transaction times and addresses with MtGox's claims. If they tried to claim ownership of someone else's wallet, that person could easily disprove their claim by signing an address with the corresponding private key.

No matter how thorough the audit, it wouldn't be enough to convince every last user of the system. But it only has to convince enough people that the few remaining holdouts are forced to either follow suit or create a fork.
If they're taking over Paypal accounts or stealing credit card numbers, it can be as simple as buying a lot of capacity at the various VPN provider. We know from the attack on Tor that they had many thousands of google compute instances, and the same may be true on the many, many other providers.
Oh hey, sorry I didn't see this earlier!

+1 for associative memory

+1 for morning purges, very powerful stuff

+10 for constraints! Absolutely.

+1 for self-dating

+1 for unstructured play

+1 to extreme-hunting (I'm reminded of a book by Tina Sellig talking about entrepreneurship- don't try to look for good ideas, because you constrain your thinking. Try to look for extreme ideas, crazy ideas, intentionally-bad ideas. Then flip them around, invert them, etc).

re: "we all change many states daily"- great point. I guess I was thinking about specific subsets of state change- like when we experience a sharp or dramatic change, or if we make a wilful change while holding something in our minds. I'm sure I'm being rather sketchy and messy about this, but you know how it is.

Thanks for the thoughtful response! I really appreciate it.
> And where do these people go to protest for their rights and fight for what were theirs?

They go to their own government, which is the entity that is supposed to protect them and operate in their interest.
If that’s not possible because their government is too much $adjective, that’s on them, not on the US. Peoples have the right to self-determine.

The US are “responsible” in the sense that they have played a role in causing certain eventual outcomes, but are obviously not “responsible” in the sense they should do something about those outcomes. They pursue their own foreign policy agenda, like all other nation-states do. Then the targets of that agenda have the opportunity to respond as they see fit, taking into account the relevant implications and welfare of their own citizens.

Even more so, causing significant disruption to Huawei and putting the Chinese govt in a tight spot very likely was the goal of the entire thing in the first place.
Are the US evil because of this? Maybe. However that’s just how foreign policy strategies work. To think otherwise is just naif, or preposterous.
aren't landing fees charged for all pax landing including those who will transfer.
It only finds lower fares on some routes, not all of them.
Let me improve that analogy.

Subway update their pricing such that a footlong sells for $5 and a six inch sub costs $7. Looking at those prices, you purchase a footlong sandwich. Should Subway be allowed to demand $2 from you if they see you discarding half of the sandwich?

Which might, in some jurisdictions, open the website operators to claims of tortious interference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortious_interference) if they can prove that the site operator knew about the contractual term and incited people to breach it.

Hopefully a term requiring someone to take a flight is unenforceable (if such a term even exists) - so that might give them a defence even if such a term exists.
