He's explicitly not arguing from your perspective. If you had the choice of running a railway monopoly then you'd be crazy to throw that opportunity to price gouge customers away too.

He's saying we shouldn't celebrate such acts as free-market capitalism since they don't provide the benefits to society that free-market capitalism does.
What do you use to make this interface ?
Here's the thread if anyone is interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7539143
Can you elaborate on your latter point? Why is that considered an incorrect architectural decision?
This is a very interesting (though not new) hypothesis. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21303428 is the usual citation.

Neither paper has data how much of your dietary behavior is microbe related, which is a shame. Here's the data I have from developing a pseudo-FMT probiotic:

During initial beta testing, I found myself snacking less and forgetting to eat. The forgetting to eat bit was extremely abnormal, as I'm usually very regular about meal times. I also found myself eating breakfast for the first time since starting at college.

These and the experiences of my co-founder were sufficiently interesting that we added questions to our pilot study, where 72% of participants reported a reduction in food cravings and mild weight loss.

So the effect is much bigger than you might imagine. Here's a customer describing his rather extreme subjective experience:

"I started a total fast on Monday, and for the first 3 days only consumed water or green tea (and your probiotic), and today I only had BCAAs and a plain salad with vinegar, and so far this has been by far the easiest fast I've ever done. I haven't even gotten to the point where I feel physically hungry yet, and even my psychological desire for food is much weaker than it has been in past fasts."

If anyone here is interested in a longer discussion of health related microbiome research, http://www.generalbiotics.com/science (which my co-founder wrote) provides a fairly through overview.
It seems to me the more different input devices, the better, because one can quickly switch the input device when it becomes too repetitive. I’m currently experimenting with a vertical mouse (Anchor), a handheld trackball (IMAGE), a handheld touchpad (Perixx), a vertical keyboard (Kinesis Freestyle2), an ergonomic keyboard (Kinesis Advantage), a sitting/standing desk (IKEA) and a sitting ball. The most effective changes seem to be the vertical keyboard, the remote trackball, the new desk and a couple of streching exercises I started doing. While the Advantage does relieve the pinkies in Emacs, it still feels inferior to the vertical Freestyle2 because the forearms are still in a twisted pose. I think I tend to overly cramp my hands and fingers so that I’m experiencing RSI even without overly long working hours.
Combine this with what we learned from Pixar about smoothing surfaces and it appears that Pixar has adapted the Bezier curve to 3D.

I'm always a little geeked-out by unification like this. :D
.. because the artistic intent master race has chosen 4:3 over a big, clear picture. I blew through a bunch of episodes last night, and it was way easier for me to watch in HD and widescreen than 4:3. Guess I'm a knuckle dragger!

There is a pervasive idea in the article that the entire financial-political loop system is rotten, rusty, zombified, unproductive, stagnant, indifferent, overall totally useless. Yes, that makes a good case for a total reboot of the global financial system.
Yes it still sucks.

What worked for me was finding a doctor who specializes in treatment resistant depression, rather than a regular psychiatrist - they will be comfortable and open to prescribing many more 'difficult' medications such as strong MAOIs, transcranial stimulation, and ketamine.
Is that quite right? My impression is that it has been half-true, with part of the middle class doing better than ever and rising, while the other part did poorly & lost out. A bifurcation of the middle class.

Which was not unexpected, globalization always has losers. But we've failed to help them out.
Is it a good idea to take any of these - alcohol, Marijuana, LSD, mushrooms - with antidepressants? That is, if you're on medication, should you stay away from all recreational drug use?
Counterpoint: the amount of psilocybin in a mushroom can vary by 5x, even of the same strain, depending on growing conditions and time of harvest.

On the other hand, if you buy 250mg of powdered psilocin or psilocybin from a reputable vendor, you know exactly how much you are getting.
Sounds mild for a wook. Normally their tolerance is so shot they will eat a strip and be unphased.
> Does anyone else have a love hate relationship with tmux?

Absolutely. Just today I logged in on some server and started a tmux session to learn that copypasting with mouse didn't work. After googling how to solve this I noticed that scrollback with mousehweel also didn't work. Then I remembered that I did solve that some time ago but never was satisfied with it because the scroll speed/differential was so low.
Because people don't usually don't on their toes? It's easier to bring your hands into view than your feet.
That's still only evidence of correlation, not causation.
> A good idea would be to develop a simple vector graphics exchange format that is desigend to be easily processed by machines. As minimal in features as possible. Maybe JSON-based, definitely not XML-based.

Just for the note, there is such format already and it is quite popular actually, see: https://lottiefiles.com/

Lottie files are JSONs produced by Bodymovin plugin for Adobe After Effects.

These are primarily for short vector animations but lotties work OK for static images too.
The One True Date Format is YYYYMMDD, which has the bonus feature of sorting correctly -- I'll have to wait until December 2nd to get the palindrome 20211202.

As I said below, one reason they might run a transmission is so that they constantly run the engine in the most energy efficient zone (which might vary by up to 30%), giving them a longer battery life. There are other factors to consider about whether this is justified, however, like the losses introduced in the transmission.

Whether the drivers are trained to take advantage of this is another story.
I'm not that familiar with Lyft, but Uber doesn't doesn't seem accountable to actual users. Did they issue an apology for their "Rides of Glory" article where they mapped potential one night stands?
For example, here in civil law countries, there's commonly no "copyright" as such; there's Moral Rights (which protect stuff like attribution) and Economic Rights. Therefore, there's no implication that abolishing Economic Rights like restricting others from copying must also abolish attribution rights

You're correct that moral and property rights are distinct in many civil law countries, but both are under the umbrella of copyright and, as far as I know, there are no countries that enforce moral rights but not property rights. I'm aware that there are countries that do the reverse: acknowledge property rights but not moral rights. Which countries' legal systems do you have in mind?

And that applies to the GPL as well - I can defend the right to prevent others from using your code in closed binaries, without having to defend the wider right of prevent any copying at all. (Though in my particular case, I wouldn't mind losing copyleft if copyright was to be abolished)

According to the idea that we should not respect property rights (and, like you say, only respect attribution / moral rights), this would allow the company to re-license GPL code under an MIT license, then use the newly MIT-licensed code in ways that were unintended according to the original author (i.e. inclusion in non-GPLed code). Like you mention, this could be in the form of closed-source binaries, which of course could be reverse engineered legally, because of no property rights, but, really, this system seems terrible to me.

While I love open source software and acknowledge that copyright can be abused, I can't see the benefit of a system that permits you to take the work of someone else, ignoring their conditions, then modify and re-distribute it as if it were under something similar to an MIT license -- respecting only attribution.
Google Product Manager here. I get on the bus about 8:30 and start working. In Mountain View (where meetings commence) by 10a. Usually pretty solid w/ meetings from 10-4. Get on a 4 or 4:30 bus and work again (email, etc) until I get off at 5:30 or 6.

Probably 2-3 days a week I put in an hour (or two, rarely 3) after the kids are in bed.
Yea, I absolutely want to make the spec a schema once we get further along. We would have done it from the beginning but it makes discussing the spec a lot harder since it raises the bar from "I understand JSON syntax" to "I understand JSON and JSON Schema". In any case I am a huge JSON schema fan, we use it in a number of APIs to make client bindings code generated. For example: https://github.com/coreos/fleet/blob/master/schema/v1.json

Update: Sorry, I thought you were taking a look at the appc spec, would appreciate your feedback on appc too.
I look at the "maker" movement (a term that's been co-opted enough to rub me the wrong way) as being a reaction to the consumer culture that came before it. I grew up in an environment where "homemade" was equivalent to "couldn't afford to buy it" which meant "poor" and all of the negative stigma that carries.

I love that the idea of being a "maker" pushes against that and carries the ethos that something doesn't have to be a manufactured product from a brand name company to have real value.

But, of course, like any movement, it can be taken too far and over time the label becomes a caricature of itself. (See also: "hack".) I agree with her that focusing too much on "making stuff" does devalue people whose passion is more about taking care of people and things.

That's something I think the "DIY" movement before "makers" had a more nuanced perspective. The "DI" part was more open to interpretation. Fixing a broken toaster, conducting your own wedding ceremony, and crashing on couches while touring with your band instead of hiring a tour company are all "DIY" but don't seem to fit in the current definition of a "maker".
I get that too. Here's the cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:d8CrZiI...
Thanks! I recommend using the repositories or the automated builds or compiling from source, as opposed to the tar.gz binary builds linked directly from the README, as those are somewhat badly out of date now. (I probably should update them at some point.)
I don’t like Facebook, and I think the way it abuses its position is awful, but I don’t understand the position of the news industry or the judiciary supporting the industry.

If I were to stand on a corner and tell people what was on the menu and the daily special of a cafe down the block, I cannot think of a situation where that cafe would think they were owed money for my doing this.

I understand that Facebook and Google have a powerful market position, but I don’t see that as part of the argument.
Wouldn't this technology simply displace the pollution, and its effects, from the atmosphere onto the ocean floor?

In an effort to save the planet, this could kill it by destroying what life we have at the ocean floor.
You can have a company with many offices, and every employee in an office all the time, but no one office designated as the HQ.

That doesn't mean that 'this time is different' is wrong. Unfortunately without true oracles, only time will tell.
No reason. I tried it out one day many years ago and never looked back. Do use gmail inboxes for some throwaway stuff though.
Do you get any spam webmentions? Do you do anything to prevent spam?
In New York, utilities trim branches a few feet from lines periodically.

They do this because they have service quality standards set by the public service commission, and it’s cheaper to trim and maintain rights of way than to be fined or denied rate increases for electricity delivery. (Electric supply is based on variable market rates)
It's less a case of dishonesty than it is that airports (the usual place for car rentals) are a bit out of the way and often have uncompetitive fuel prices.
This is odd. Both Salesforce and their acquirees have been pretty vocal and open about their previous acquisitions. What's so different this time?
If you can't do it properly...
Because national foreign literacy programs work well, and are notorious for raising public awareness of current political issues.
Maybe they should be more transparent upfront about the sale, no? Seems a bad way to handle a sale with your current users.
Well, as far as a legacy, its one that I would be proud of. All too many politicians leave their constituents worse off for having elected them. If a politician or policymaker makes life better, but not as much better as they promised, I still consider that a job well done.
Could you please add the IP or the provider of the client performing the tests? It seems that you are using servers hosted with OVH, this makes the OVH results better because your tests are within the provider network.
That reminds me of thing I heard many years ago: "And now look at Czech Post, it's obviously more reliable than internet. They can deliver letters with unbounded latency, letters could be delivered out of order, letters can get lost, but no mater what they do they are not able to deliver one letter twice"

On the other hand, after few years on various logistics-related projects, I would not be too surprised if there is some postal service or carrier that is actually able to somehow physically duplicate one shipment and deliver it twice :)
Hm, I stand corrected!

Though I have two thoughts on that:

1. It wouldn't add very much complexity to implement random IV's. You can send it with the ciphertext, or in the generated URL. In my own project, I use btoa(JSON.stringify({ key: generatedKey, iv: randomIv })) and reverse the operation when the URL is accessed:

const fragmentData = window.location.hash.substr(1);
const keyParameters = JSON.parse(atob(fragmentData));
const key = HexMix.hexToUint8(keyParameters.key);
const iv = HexMix.hexToUint8(keyParameters.iv);

Edit: I'm also converting the key/iv to hexadecimal. Don't remember why, but that's not necessary lol.

Edit #2: Ah-ha, and now I've learned something else from the Excalidraw team; I can skip my hex/uint & base64 conversions if I export the key as jwk.

2. There are a _lot_ of tutorials out there that incorrectly reuse the key with a fixed IV. I was more concerned about this being yet another tutorial that someone blindly follows and ends up reusing the key regardless.
Similar boat. A 2k screen like the X1 Carbon would have been a good compromise on screen quality and battery life.
didn't see minhash and/or LSH in the list of existing work. As someone not too familiar with the field. Are they not relevant?
That's why they are starting with a trial, and not a full scale roll out. Other countries are using this combination of drug, and it's not because they're huge fans of Trump, I can assure you. We also have literally millions of devices out there capable of detecting arrhythmia - they're called Apple Watch.
I'm not sure what your point is. As I explained, I am biased towards physics, if anything. And I acknowledged that each field has had societally impactful advances, I never claimed chemistry was the sole driver. Surely you're not arguing that physics, chemistry, and biology have all had exactly equally-sized impacts on society over the 20th century? What a surprising coincidence that would be!

If you think one could come up with similar lists, by all means, please do. I actually did mention the impact of nuclear energy (I called it "the atomic age" to include nuclear weapons as well), but surely you wouldn't claim that has had as large an impact on society as petroleum alone, which powers most of our electricity, internal combustion engines that made modern trade and supply chains possible, and is the raw material for the hundreds of pieces of plastic in the very room you're sitting in?
No, developers don't like React because of an infrastructure supported by Facebook. React is entirely selfhostable, and only as secure as your own dev environment. Built as an open sourced tool, with major contributions from thousands outside of FB.

You can't compare the two and their safety anf 'favor among developers', devs also fought against FB by having them change their licensing bc FB made the horrendous decision to essentially own any and all projects developed on it.

Devs don't trust facebook, such as no one should.
I had to venture out Friday in NYC and parks and streets were filled with people. Lines to get cocktails going down the street. Basketball games. No one wearing masks. For the first time since it started I started to be worried about my family and myself.

I think "Stay In Your Home" or "Stay the Fk Home" are needed as daily SMS messages and voicemails.
It's important to note that there is a difference between "making crap" and "spending inordinate effort to preclude bugs from my software". The idea is that you write the best code you can as quickly as you reasonably can and provide the degree of quality that suits your economic situation. You will make mistakes, learn from them, and then the next iteration will be fast and incrementally better. In theory if not in practice, this will make you a better developer (better code and fewer bugs) more quickly than if you were to spend lots of time perfecting each project, never mind the value that is generated from the additional features that you've shipped (which you otherwise wouldn't have shipped if you were spending time scrutinizing your code for bugs).
>The real concern would be if the outbreak were to suddenly sideline huge amounts of truck drivers / pilots / etc

I'm counting on some disruption. Even during isolation these people are basically walking infection vectors because of the nature of their jobs - loading/unloading (touching and breathing on) goods carried across the country. And I doubt we currently have the PPE for them...
I don't like Zuckerberg but I agree with this action. Trump is inciting violence and Facebook is not obliged to be an accomplice.
His commentary on election fraud is seen as fueling the riot. Paraphrasing, the video comes across as: "you should go home. You're special and I love you. This is a fraudulent, illegitimate election and america is being stolen from you"

It's like people who start sentences with "no offense, but"
His speech condone their actions at first and then asks them to be calm and go home. You can't have it both ways.
The Peloton, as I understand, doesn't dynamically adjust its resistance.

On a $4K machine? The $800 NordicTrack rower we bought automatically adjusts resistance with their iFit programs. So people were just paying for an exercise bike with a big LCD screen? I'm astounded that they stayed in business long enough to release a second version that fixes this. VC money can fix that problem, but I'm also astounded that anyone actually bought one.
We know that the build and release infrastructure for SolarWinds was compromised to distribute malware signed with their keys. What we don't know is who or what was responsible. In the sense that JetBrains is in the supply chain and that supply chain was ultimately compromised, the threat is absolutely credible.

Other credible threats include every human who touched or has the ability to touch the configuration of their Team City pipelines.

However, the Times journalists should get some facts straight before flinging libel around. There are millions of JetBrains users for a wide variety of products. They're implicating all these products, and that doesn't seem to be appropriate. Breaking a text editor or IDE to introduce this class of attack seems unlikely, and much more prone to discovery.

Personally, everything about this smells like an inside job (or gross incompetence).
Your use of "spec" here is a weasel word to make your point. There are many kinds of specs. The spec here is "users need a physical copy", the organization was intending to solve it by using the services of another business and a bunch of other expensive and complicated stuff that I was considering as categorically different from software.
This really reminds me of Antony's "Friends, romans, countrymen..." speech that is ostensibly peaceful and respectful but is actually riling up the crowd.
It may sound weird but I believe you have to thank Trump for this. Finally some good things come out of his mandate.
We use Real Time Bookkeeping as our hosting provider - it allows us to use the Full Desktop version of QuickBooks instead of the limited edition that QuickBooks Online is. They are reliable and can be used with many different browsers. www.realtimebookkeeping.com
unless their costs are radically different from mine, (and if anything, their automation is better, so their costs should be lower) the small instances are quite profitable.
FYI, I tried to respond to your email but it bounced, hope you read this comment!
Ah, I thought you meant pattern as in a "design pattern". I suppose that makes sense. The difficult part is knowing what patterns to name, how to name them, and what to apply them to.
Yes, I've been contacted a few times through hnhackers.com and this spreadsheet.
Find mentors - start by surrounding yourself with smart people who write lots of code and smart people who run businesses of their own. Write lots of code, ship/push often. Repeat.
You have the right to receive a share, as soon as it is available in the market. They have 2 days to fullfil your account, or they issue a "fail to deliver".

Naked shorts are allowed to market-makers, because if when you buy there's no counterpart but it's reasonably expected, you receive this "right to a real share" to be filled with a real share as soon as the market-market can buy a real one. You'll never notice however. This mechanism works like oil in an engine and is almost neutral to the market dynamics, and they receive a fee to keep the engine oiled.

The problem is when market-makers abuse this ability, and shorting nakedly too much sends wrong signals to the market, pushing it down and self-fullfilling the profecy. In the same way that pump-and-dump is illegal, this works in reverse (short-and-distort).
I find I'm significantly slower with a trackpad so I'm still using a mouse, but one thing I have been considering is grabbing a trackpad and putting it to the left of the keyboard (as a right-hander) and using it for general scrolling and pointing, then using a mouse on the right for when more accurate mousing is required.

That'd mostly solve the mouse being too far away issue if I were to use the Microsoft Surface Ergo. Do you have any issues with the trackpad that you haven't had with a mouse in the past?

My other option would be just to give up and get an apple keyboard. When you were using it, did you miss the keyboard being split - any RSI or comfort issues?
the pleasure was all mine!
