They also always made money, didn't sell console at a loss. Even a "failing" n64 or GameCube was net positive for Nintendo from day 1, and every year until end of service. They weren't a company in need of help.

And if they joined, Microsoft is not the company that would have let them drop everything for the Wii (strange to say after the fact given kinect and stuff, but those were followers of a known success move), or again for the switch
Hi,
thanks for the feedback!

We thought about putting some "example fixes/configurations" into the blogpost, but then abandoned the idea, because there are a lot of different DNS servers out there.

Only covering a few didn't seem useful to us.

So thank you for giving an example configuration for BIND :)
Thanks a lot for the nuggets! I'll definitely go after those meetups. As for appsworld congress, do you mean apps-world.net?

siliconmilkroundabout.com - woohoo, that's fairly close, thanks!

I'm definitely interested in meeting up! Can't find you email on your profile though.

You are awesome :)
This is all well and good until you start doing anything with address sensitive replies. For example a VoIP call would need some way of anchoring the packets to a specific connection for the duration of the call (some kind of session pinning would be ideal).

I like the idea but I wonder how it performs on many use cases (like Skype or online gaming).
I believe this only increases apparent bandwidth for applications which may open multiple connections at the same time, like web browsing and BitTorrent.
You would be less likely to get an antibiotic-resistant infection in the future, because an understanding of evolution is necessary to understand how massive application of antibiotics can lead to more resistant bacteria in the future.

You would be more likely to survive a pandemic in the future because there would be more public support for research into how diseases evolve.

There would be less racial strife because more people would understand that the differences we see in people lie on a continuous genetic spectrum, not broken up in distinct "races."
That would be an interesting thought. He would or rather it would be infinitely more rational than any politician in the world.
National sovereignty is unpopular these days, on both sides of the aisle. Liberals started it decades ago with their love of international criminal tribunals and increased UN power, and now the conservatives are getting in on the act. The underlying premise of both movements is that your pet issue is more important than the sovereign right of nations to have domestic processes free from foreign influence.
That little affair will surely have affected any valuation. It was just the shove I needed to move to pinboard. Let's start a conspiracy theory that it was a co-ordinated effort by some other bookmarking service to capture delicious users.
What/Where is his/her game?
Sounds like you've picked the single hardest thing to bootstrap. Games are the hardest software products to make successful. Mmos are the hardest type of game to make successful. It will be hard.

For some reason this George carlin quote springs to mind:

"have you ever tried to start a path? It's hard. You have to hold down the grass by yourself for a while."
That's a really small cost, however. Bandwidth is stupid cheap.
The killer app for both platforms is the web. This is fairly obvious if you remember the original iPhone had few apps and was widely considered a poor phone (or cameraphone).

The iPod was the third leg of the original announcement but it's hard to see that as a killer app when an iPod was available stand alone.

I'be never heard exclusive be a necessary feature of a killer app before this. It's more like a console fanboy bragging point and for technically comparable platforms it often seems driven by kickbacks from the platform owner. Even then it's usually just time limited exclusivity.
its worth exactly $0 unless you have customers paying for it right now.
Thinking about it, I'll concede that it is an ideology. One I'm proud to hold and I think is very tech friendly and progressive. I'll restate it: I think tech should be tech. I don't want privacy tools to contain censorship mechanisms because I believe in free speech.
I can't +1 this enough.
The best thing about this new bogeyman is almost always unidentifiable or next to impossible to conclusively identify. It's like a virtual enemy that can never be completely stopped which means a new arms race of sorts. The theme I think I'm seeing more of though is government floating ideas like a need for intervention and Internet kill switches, etc.
I don't think this is anything other than a public condemnation of the people who use anonymity to harass people.

>This declaration is not the last word, but a beginning: We will not tolerate harassment of our people. We are working within our community to devise ways to concretely support people who suffer from online harassment; this statement is part of that discussion. We hope it will contribute to the larger public conversation about online harassment and we encourage other organizations to sign on to it or write one of their own.

Key word is "declaration". I don't think this will effect the tor technology in any way.
You honestly can't see how the remark "obviously there's marijuana in the air" might be considered bad journalism?

Observing that there's the smell of marijuana in the air is journalism, though you'd have to balance that against the relative importance of other observations he could have made within the same time frame. It's a entirely different thing to express the view that "obviously" the protests involve a lot of marijuana and push - intentionally or otherwise - the particular view that one should expect protests against alleged police brutality to be under the influence of drugs [especially with all those poor black people around?]. As the original article strongly hinted, that was probably a slip rather than an attempt to push a particular agenda... maybe he even actually meant the smell was readily detectable rather than inevitable at that sort of protest. He's far from likely to have wanted to imply anything about the inevitability of a certain demographic behaving a certain way. It's bad journalism to make those kind of insinuations for intentional effect, rank bad journalism to do it without an agenda to push or even awareness of what might be implied.
My perspective is as follows [1]:

First, write a song and shoot a quick video about the desire to treat your fans with respect, and upload it ASAP to YouTube.

Once the "MUST DO" deadline comes up, kick that serfdom YouTube contract to the curb and don't look back.

Set up shop on VIMEO or DailyMotion, monetize as able.

Lastly, talk to deadmau5 about the Pros/Cons of setting up a self-directed distribtuion platform.

[1] Proud to be independent, distributed and listened to worldwide, and even if that only means I've made $14 in income from my music in the past two years, the music reaching people is my goal. DistroKid is my friend. YouTube is just another RIAA platform these days to me, and while I'm on there, the moment I apparently get big enough for them to care and try to shoot the hostages, I'll pick up shop and leave. YMMV.
But their ECM offering is basically Dropbox++ rather than Opentext/Hyland/Alfresco/etc. They don't have nearly the feature set of the big guys, and there aren't many enterprises particularly interested in ECM (the "M" part) who would take Box seriously. They might as a simple cloud storage platform, but only if they need something like that and haven't already got something similar from Google or Microsoft.

(I'm writing this as the person responsible for ECM & Google Apps at a large enterprise. We looked at Box and were non-plused.)
That doesn't bother me. You could make a similar argument about some aspect of nearly every piece of open source software. Web design isn't special. What about C# vs Mono, Matlab vs Octave, Unix vs GNU/Linux, etc.?

(Just to be clear... directly copying assets and code is not cool.)
Ok. But it hasn't always been, according kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andrewgodwin/schema-migr...) 1.6 is mentioned, and "1.7 at latest". Considering 1.6 isn't out, I was hoping for it!
Well, can you make $50-$100/hour by keeping bees? :P
really cool, song changes when someone else joins tho?
As if "clever enough" is all it takes.
The title of that PDF should be changed from "The Danger of Ebooks" to "The Danger of DRM Ebooks".
Yes if you send your traffic unsecured over the wire, it's trivial to modify it. Which is why cryp.sr, and any other good host-proof app, uses SSL, which is designed to counter exactly that type of threat.

I'll admit up-front that I have only a cursory knowledge of security topics, but it was my understanding that SSL prevents the traffic from being read, but not from being modified. Am I incorrect in this belief?
D'oh!

But in colloquial Chinese, do they reflect the same zoological classifications that we have in the West? Maybe they just have a generic "bug" or something. This is one of the things that's very easy to assume, but not doesn't really have any strong intrinsic logic to support, much like recent conversations here about color perception.

Also, why do we always orient maps with the North pointing up or away from us, and reference those maps based on that assumed orientation? Why not have East pointing up?
Does this mean that you view Unicode as perfect and encompassing of all the characters currently in use in the world?

It's been great here... there are about 120+ people working here in Emeryville, 200 worldwide. The company is now a part of Sony, but Sony is very hands off. It still feels like a growing startup and things are still very 'loose' (in a good way). Motivated people will have no problem finding interesting extra things to do.

Feel free to get in touch with me if you want any more details:

Japanese people living in the US are no doubt perfectly comfortable writing their name out in Latin characters for the benefit of the barbarians they live with.
Yeah, I wonder too what he means by that. There are plenty of websites which track and don't use any Flash. What sort of tracking is he speaking of?
> You can't design a driver for a card without knowing everything about the card

Strongly disagree with that statement, though I sincerely wish it were true. My company manufactures hardware and does not provide a reference driver for any OS. We provide binary blobs and textual "guidelines".

For our hardware, driver authors operate without knowing any details beyond the interface.
> Why do they need the Chrome-only filesystem API so much?

Some initial investigation at Mozilla suggests it's to detect whether you're in Chrome's Incognito mode.
I think a rough definition might be something like "datasets big enough to cause problems with standard tools on standard hardware" - i.e. where you need to change your tools to get things done.

Still pretty vague but it captures what I think many people are getting at.
I did read the letter and his position is extreme: the BBC captured it accurately.

Anytime you write a letter to Congress that includes the phrase "must be mandated" -- as Blackberry's CEO did -- it's abundantly clear you're asking for a new law.

Now, I admit the question of whether or not this particular proposed law is extreme or not is a judgment call, but forcing programmers (at gunpoint?) to develop for other platforms seems a bit extreme to me. Also not a recipe for very good code. :)
The website they built is called ITA Matrix (http://matrix.itasoftware.com) and it's still available today even after Google acquired them. It's the most powerful flight search engine out there.
CTRL+Space "ful" <enter> ("Toogle full screen")

Admittedly, that's not too user friendly
Oh, and I forgot: I checked out your Twitter account. You should really consider putting that on private. The stuff about slavery and whatnot, although agreeable in some circles, may not sit right in the circles you want to impress. And yes, people do check.

Hide all social media you own unless it has to do with code and it's clean. No one really needs to know about your atheism and your thoughts on the caveats of modern society. Despite being unable to deny someone of employment based on such opinions, people do. All someone would have to do with you is say "he doesn't qualify because of his level of education," when all they really mean is, "I hate people with his political/religious views."

Take your job search as seriously as possible.
What’s so powerful for me is that my old company’s “brand” is exactly this style
>>Wow, this is happening on December 11th? That seems rather abrupt.

Just in time for Christmas, image wanting to look back over your deceased father tweets on the holiday only to discover Twitter black-holed them for you...

it never cease to amaze how incompetent management is at Large corporations, it seems the bigger a company gets more incompetent is management becomes
tl;dr

The FDA will review on priority if the clinical trial (details here -> https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03866174) succeeds.

For people outside of the US (like me) who don't know what "Breakthrough Therapy" is : "Breakthrough therapy is a United States Food and Drug Administration designation that expedites drug development that was created by Congress under Section 902 of the 9 July 2012 Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act. he FDA's "breakthrough therapy" designation is not intended to imply that a drug is actually a "breakthrough" or that there is high-quality evidence of treatment efficacy for a particular condition; rather, it allows the FDA to grant priority review to drug candidates if preliminary clinical trials indicate that the therapy may offer substantial treatment advantages over existing options for patients with serious or life-threatening diseases" [1]

I used AlternativeTo to find alternatives to product hunt, and it came up as the top suggestion:

Not according to that article. Sounds like he is using a charity to backdoor fund his own private investments in to the research.

> “From generations of practitioners and researchers before us, we have received knowledge about these substances, their risks, and ways to use them constructively,” reads the statement. “In turn, we accept the call to use that knowledge for the common good and to share freely whatever related knowledge we may discover or develop.”

> It has been signed by 104 individual scientists, scholars, and practitioners, 21 research and service organizations, including MAPS, Heffter, Usona, and 12 psychedelic societies and integration circles. Compass has not signed.

Given Thiel's track record I think it's not very likely he is doing this for a "freedom of choice" but more as "Opportunity to get richer".
When you buy a house with an HOA, you agree that the HOA can say what you can and can’t do to your house. When you buy a property in California, you are agreeing to follow the laws regarding public property. Maybe not explicitly, but they’re laws nonetheless.
>I'm sorry if you bought some flim flam mans marketing spin but I only ever look at the tech.

What made you think I believed any bullshit, or that I'm evangelizing? What company did I endorse? And the links prove you're evangelizing Namecoin as a "properly decentralised domain name project", but it's actually a complete failure, which you conveniently neglected to mention. Your statements are the exact opposite of the truth. Speak for youself, and stop projecting.

You claimed that Namecoin was "properly decentralised" and "uses blockchain to control ownership of domains and zone edits in a more secure way". Yeah, all 28 domains in use. You're the one evangelizing a spectacular failure.
That's not really the case, it just seems that way because of your local environment.

Of the 1.3 million software developer jobs in the US maybe a few percent at most are in Ruby, and most of those are concentrated in a handful of locations.

PHP and C# usage is much higher and distributed across the US.
The thing, auto-censureship should fit in, as well as the code a-n-d hardware life-lines, including how to reproduce the workflow outside of corporate claws.
Does that only work with digital assets and ip or is it extended to ownership of physical items?
Note the talk of Bitcoin's being deflationary refers to the technology, not the exchange rate.
I highly doubt it's incompetence - they're trying to perhaps single-handedly prevent a crash by everyone rushing to sell at once, to block people's impulse decision to sell for long enough to help further subside a crash. Coinbase's behaviour is highly suspect and perhaps should warrant investigation into purposeful manipulation - whether there are laws that currently exist that would cover this case or not doesn't mean there shouldn't be.
Musk made 85% of his wealth this year, so he hasn't really had time to cash anything out yet.
Exactly. No one I know cares about privacy nor another app for other reasons. Whatever is popular they will use. Family members are already used to Whatsapp. It is nearly impossible to switch them to something else now.
That's assuming he's still alive.

If he isn't, it means there will only ever be 20M bitcoins.
Coinbase pro has limit orders.
> You do not know these people.

Sure I do. I know exactly who these people are. Yes, there is a spectrum of Trump support among them, and it's entirely your choice to try to weasel around the point here all you want, but at the end of the day, these people have willing supported (and many are continuing to support) a would-be nationalist, fascist dictator.

There's simply no excuse for that, and I personally will not simply forgive and forget.
I don't think resources are the problem. You can decentralize TSA jobs. San Francisco area just needs to monitor one airport or three bay area airports. So, I think decentralization is the key and saying that US has too many airports is not an excuse.
Canvas drawing is still horribly slow, especially vector draws.

Personally, I see the CTO's job as being the one to advocate pristine, perfect code at the expense of business objectives. The reason is simple: if they don't, nobody else will. Of course the business side of the organization is always going to be pushing for more features at the expense of code quality. Why? Well, they're not the ones who will take the blame for code sucking.

If you give in to them too many times and end up with buggy code where trivial changes take a month, but has all the features that are needed where do you think the blame will fall? I can guarantee you it isn't going to be the business side.

The goal shouldn't be for the CTO to be the business side's technical henchman. It should be to look after the technical side of things. If a rewrite is the best decision technically (without considering the business), then that's what the CTO should advocate, but they need to be willing to work with the business side to find a solution that works for both sides.
If it makes sense for Google to invest in Android "so that people will spend more time searching for stuff online" it sure as hell makes sense for Facebook to create a chat client so that people will spend more time using Facebook to chat.
The real futureme is a great service. I'm someone who likes the idea of a journal, but doesn't have the tenacity to actually keep one. Instead, I use futureme once a year around new years to email myself. I recap how the year went, what I accomplished and what goals are still unrealized and then I send it to myself one year into the future. I've been doing this since 2005 (received my first email in 2006) and am always anxious to get the emails and read have that one-way conversation with my younger self.

I also use it to email friends and family in the future on birthdays or other events, though to a lesser extent. I sincerely hope they stay in business for years to come.
UPDATE at midnight: the view-scraped-page part of the architecture was meant as a helper function. Being frontpaged on HackerNews obviously crashed it. The two examples have been moved to static files served by nginx. Sorry for any inconvenience.

The technology behind it seems to have made it into Google Docs (real time collaborative editing). There are plenty of people using Google Docs.
May I suggest you instead model your inflector's algorithm after Lingua::EN::Inflect? ( http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Lingua::EN::Inflect ) It handles tons of cases better than Rails's inflector does.

Damian Conway (Lingua::EN::Inflect's author) also wrote a paper about algorithmic English pluralization that actually takes a linguistic approach to all of this: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~damian/papers/HTML/Plurals.ht...

The hard part about an inflector as part of something like a framework is that it's hard to add special cases later when you need corrections, because you risk breaking the existing incorrectly pluralized or singularized names people have for things. It's much easier to get it as right as possible as soon as possible.
I use sendgrid to send reliable transactional emails from self-hosted scripts.

I also use sendgrid to route all emails for my clients domains at my hosting server.

There are number of competing services but I am happy so far (and been for 2+ years)
Just 72 hours ago Prime deliveries were still on March 23. About 48 hours that changed to Match 26. Now it's April 21. Could this because of staffing issues in warehouses? I also wonder how AMZN ticker will do tomorrow based this news given many people were betting on it for strong performance.
I still think there is plenty of demand for web developers.

If you have time on your hands and know some basic programming then might I suggest learning some web technologies. Even if you can't land a job quickly you can make some income being an indie hacker too (though you may need to learn at least a few marketing skills and SEO)
4% report themselves as gay/lesbian while 19% as bisexual. I don't believe any of this. Is claiming to be bisexual a new fashion trend or something? Assuming it is a fashion trend, I don't understand where the trend came from; most 4chan users are male, men tend to be homophobic and if a man is bisexual then he also sleeps with other men. This doesn't make sense.
Not equality of people, equality of paths. In an FPS the shotgun and the rocket launcher shouldn't be equal or there's no need for both.

imho the thing to do is take OPs suggestion, Paradox should make gay-marriage possible but have people refer to it in variable ways. Some egalitarian societies can call it marriage, others sodomy, etc. And then add other cross-cultural restrictions too, where civilizations may not recognize bi-religious or bi-racial marriages for various reasons.

In other words don't minimize the issue, lean into it in a CK way, deeply and unsettlingly.
How so? When I consider how to build it on top of an existing smart contact platform you'd have to have a whole extra, nonstandard layer for key rotation and you'd miss out on privacy guarentees. If we assume their goal of privacy and sub 10s finality I can't see how they could have done it on an existing cryptocurrency.

What they've done is essentially take Monero as a base, remove mining and use Stellar Consensus then solve any new privacy issues that arise.
