Yes I agree, that is what I use now, in fact I have an additional layer: the static CMS generates JSON that in turn is fed to an front end MVC to render the pages. Assets are uploaded to AWS so I can use/reuse them. I am also serving sites directly from AWS S3 so there is no server to deal with at all. Everything dynamic can be done with SAAS/PAAS (comments, email, form collection, etc). Any static CMS that you recommend? I am using a (very limited) house blend for now, I call it Statico ;)
The gloves aren't on, sorry if it came across that way.

I just think as start-ups we shouldn't single out large investments as unreasonable until/unless they are proven so.

With the odds stacked against us already, it may be in our best interest to not be the naysayers of our own industry.
Dropbox has bandwidth limits on /Public URLs, particularly low for free accounts. This wholly circumvents that, and I suspect that's the real reason Arash asked for a takedown, not so much the loose association with piracy.
The programming language informs the core tech stack, so the programming language is more like the tool box, than the tool itself.
I guess I’ll sell the NFT and keep the car as a cheap alternative to making car payments.
I think it's fair to say that this is an "ancient problem." The ancients only had a compass and straightedge, but they were asking a general question, "can you square the circle?"

They weren't asking "can you square the circle using only these two tools currently known to us?"
This is a pretty silly argument. I'm not opining on whether or not prosecutions are coercive; I'm certain they are. But a lower conviction rate would be a bad thing: it would mean the DOJ was bringing more cases they weren't certain they would win, and even exoneration comes with immense costs to the accused.
It's not possible. Not this year.

And fearmongering like this - "We have to keep trying, otherwise it'll be regulated out of existence and we'll have to wait generations" is absolutely uncalled for.

It's being regulated because people like Musk value their cars, sorry, "asset class" more than they do about the risks that they are taking.
I think I made it clear up the chain that I don't doubt folks will get it wrong.
Banach-Tarski doesn't work in 2-dimensional space; there isn't a finite collection of subsets of the plane which can be assembled to make both one disc of radius one and two discs of radius one.

I believe that Banach-Tarski would make it much easier to disect a sphere and make a cube.
That sounds impossible, wouldn't people be able to see that the account didn't have those coins in 2010?
Why limit to something that relates to the medical field? Just focus on programming as a career.
Undesirable and surprising, yes, but incorrect? The manual clearly describes the behaviour and AFAIK, there wasn't a fortran standard yet.

I guess the reordering was done to simplify later compiler passes, in particular the common subexpression elimination one.
This sounds intuitively true to me. I assume the reason it was downvoted was because someone thought it was terrible advice. I'd appreciate hearing the counterargument.
A lot of these issues seem to happen with crowdfunding or huge spikes of sales like Minecraft.
For those who don't know what Faye is, its a PubSub server built on top of the Bayeux/Comet protocol. http://faye.jcoglan.com/

Right now only supporting websocket transport but have plans to add long polling support soon too. Just refactored the library so this would be easier to do now
And there we have it. Security needs stability, stability decreases on a daily basis. We can't have that traditional kind of security. We need to move on to a more proactive way of thinking.
Those things are a means to an end, the company doesn't exist to hold people's money. Banks do, since they loan out money at a fractional reserve. Coinbase makes money by btc going through them. Of course they have to hold bitcoin and of course it is more advantageous to hold some USD so people can trade instantly.

The original post was about them being like a bank, which is not true in the context of their business model.
Agreed - to quote the French Revolution, "an overabundance of zeal."
FWIW I have written a very, very small /sbin/init replacement for docker containers. It runs one script on startup and another on shutdown, supplied by the container author: https://github.com/jre/dinit

Wait, how does that work? Looking at the malicious javascript code issuing ajax requests to github, it doen't seem github's response is evaluated. Is this alert even displayed?

If that is the case, why not do something even more radical in the response like changing the targeted urls ? They could replace them by baidu urls for example, effectively transforming a DDoS against github into a DDoS against baidu (not saying baidu is the author of the attack here, but that would certainly have an impact on the traffic being monitored by the GFW).
I disagree, for without ideas there would be no executions. while they might have low value, they do in fact have a value of some type.
> "The other fix would be to use an email address that can't be guessed from the blog address. In other words, the email address is the password."

You'd still be sending your password in the clear, possibly through other peoples mail servers. Not great security.
I disagree. I think HN is rabid about privacy and "owning your data", but by and large, most people just don't care.
Great theme! Nice to have it!

He's done a bunch of little stuff, but the big things promised during the campaign have systematically failed, and several the exact opposite direction.

So, sure, let's see if the career politician honors his commitments. I'm not holding my breath.
ClojureDocs are also interlinked and I think in an even more interesting way - any other vars that appears in the Clojure core source are linked to. A great way to understand how the core of Clojure is interconnected.

Racket's docs are good but it could use more styling. You've done a good job w/ that with Atomo.
That didn't even occur to me, that you'd find the term problematic. I just interpreted as colorful language.

I find the denominator of the entire US[1] to be somewhat misleading, as I said. More importantly, however, I found the emphasis to be on the working for someone else, not the magnitude of the salary.

Perhaps even more importantly, the high annual salary may translate to a low hourly rate, especially with a long commute and on-call duty. For some, this may be such a substantial reduction in quality of life, that the salary is low enough to resemble a legume.

[1]Do all US workers in the above denominator include self-employed contractors?
Incidentally, if you have any top SSH tips, please do post them here so that the next time any questions about SSH come up we can refer to a HN post.
It probably has something to do with what the Angry Bird developers blogged about the other day - fragmentation. They are having to make a 'lighter' version of the game for many of the Android phones. The iPhone is susceptible to a similar problem with the 3G/GS/4 out there currently, but seemed a lot easier to support than what the rovio guys have said about Android.
Of all the people to have a cult of personality, PG is a pretty decent choice.
Meebo. It is the only IM app on the iPhone that I've found that is worth anything.

Part of the reason why it works so well is that it does not maintain an active connection on the phone. Most IM apps fail as soon as the phone loses its connection for even a moment.

Meebo keeps you as logged in on their servers, and then sends push notifications to your phone when you receive messages. The result is that you don't go "offline" when you experience any phone connection hiccups.

Try it if you haven't. I use Google Talk and Yahoo IM on my iPhone all the time.
Multiplication and division are o(log n) operations.
Nobody ever talks about the PC market being fragmented

Really? I think it's common to consider the PC market to be fragmented, especially when it comes to complex software like games.
Go wherever you're going to learn the most. And if you think you're going to be working at startups when you get out of school, go work for a big company for a summer. There are things to learn everywhere, even if they are "what not to do" kinds of things.
It's not a matter of specificity, it's a matter of inaccuracy.
Thanks so much for the feedback! Yeah, Dave's interview still blows my mind when I read it. Guy is a trooper!
I think for the hard sciences and engineering we should be creating more research jobs in the private industry for PhD's. We have no shortage of problems that need to be solved and discoveries to be made.

Private industry needs to be incentivised to do more long-term R&D.
Maybe I'm really lucky, but I'm still in school and I've worked for several startups. Being in a start-up city (Austin) definitely helps. And I would go to tech events and ask if anyone is looking for an intern. That's probably the best (i.e. easiest) way. And know the technologies they use (hardly any students know rails), because startups don't have time to train you.
It appears that you can also delete it by doing a "Clear Data" for the location service in Settings application list.
Thanks for being so candid. I'm sure this is going to help a lot of the interviewees in the coming days.
I've seen people at booths at marathon expos use these to sign people up for mailing lists on the spot. I've also seen the street marketers for non-profits use these to sign people up for whatever they were promoting.
Nice job.

I went into Applications on my phone and did a "Clear Data" for the location service, and now the app crashes on startup. I assume this is because the file has been deleted.
This story has been around for a couple years I think.
The point is that it's really cool that some developer took the time to clean up part of the internet that is largely orthogonal to his life.

That's respectable, right?

If he put this in a blog post instead of a Reddit comment, would you still be complaining?
I didn't say it works 100% of time. (See my other comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8832776) and I did say that I wasn't sure if that was a joke or not from the offset (text isn't always easy to judge sarcasm)

So basically what you are saying is you down voted me because you misread my post (and frankly, even if I did categorically state what you thought I said, I still think your reason would have been somewhat petty)

This is why people shouldn't down vote without leaving a reply first. :)
The odometry region is a danger zone for exactly the same problem described in the article: big pointy rocks that don't move - at all - can get stuck in the holes, and suddenly rover is stuck on that big pointy rock.

Whats needed, in my humble opinion, is variant chevron patterns which distribute the puncture load evenly across the contact surface .. seems that the chevron itself is a big pointy thing, and when it gets close to another big pointy thing - i.e. Mars itself - then the tearing happens. This is sort of a 'duh', though, I have to say .. perhaps the Mars rovers should be tested in places like the Kimberly region of North-western Australia, a wild and hostile landscape where - essentially - massive piles of steely/iron ore rock and associated minerals have been practically welded into place onto the planet across the wide, hostile, Mars-like region .. I've punctured many a wheel there myself, dang it, in that part of the world.

Anyway, the wheel design and its problems/lessons-learned is indeed fascinating. This article was a real blast for this remotely-operated robot fan.
Once you've got the data out of the console using methods I've outlined in other posts, getting the data to something like WU can be pretty simple. One fellow, working from some of the stuff I figured out, did it with a simple LUA script and an ancient WRT-54G router.

Indeed, having a recent valid backup turns the cryptolocker variety of virus quite ineffective, you only lose some time to restore vs files you can't replace.

But how is this related to the internet or the cloud in any way? Putting backups into the cloud is a terrible idea and transferring large data collection over a residential Internet connection makes little sense.
Backups for home users became a possibility with the advent of cheap storage, first burners and cheap blank discs and now with large hard drives and flash media.

But the issue at hands here is that with the democratization of the personal computer most users lacks the skills to make their own backups and even among technical people it's not until we got bitten by data loss that we start to take backups seriously.
Yes, sadly the last time I've tested, OpenBSD was actually the best of the BSD's when it came to power management... And I'm not even a big laptop user, but I've gotten so used to suspending systems instead of shutting them down…
> I get a lot more value from the output of Spotify's owners than I get from billions of musicians.

I bet you don't. Since without the musicians there's no music, and without Spotify there's Apple Music, CD's, Napster, and so on and so forth.

The degree to which people attempt to ignore the value of recorded music from a financial standpoint always bothers me. It's one of the most enduring and useful things that makes people happy in the history of civilization. It's important to nearly all people in all cultures on earth, and unites and inspires us.

The largest peaceful gatherings of human beings that have ever happened, and ever happen, are people getting together to hear music performed.

So I disagree. I think you aren't actually allocating the value of music creation vs music distribution correctly,
Sadly, armchair authoritarians often clamor for escalating punitive force on non-violent, non-criminal, peaceful protestors even when it's completely unnecessary and increases danger of physical harm for all involved.
Funny, all I remember is the hot mess everyone was producing before Laravel.
Evolutionary phycologist Malcolm Potts explains this phenomenon as an evolutionary adaptation developed in some species of primates. In particular, we share this behavior, "the war instinct" with our close relative chimpanzee. The behavior is the following: identify your "ingroup", the social group where you live, and then attack an "outgroup", a competing social group. This is an evolutionary-beneficial behavior because it allows a group to gain additional resources: land and females. According to this theory human predisposition for war is innate rather than cultural.

If you are interesting in learning more about this theory, here's the book:

I haven't had confidence in most elections in a long time. Nothing seems worse about this election than, say, Ohio in 2004, but I like the idea of adopting a system where there is much more thorough verifiability and ease of auditing.
Can we agree on a number then?
"Let's have trial by combat." -Rudy 'America's Mayor' Giuliani to a crowd filled with far right pro-Trump militias like Oath Keepers, hours before the Republican coup attempt in D.C.
This really isn’t true.

My (logged out) YouTube feed has mostly cooking shows, programming videos, stuff about crafts and watchmaking etc, because those are mostly what I like to watch.

I’m also interested in guns. The moment I watch a gun video, I immediately get shown Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, and The Blaze instead of all the cooking videos etc.

And yet none of the gun videos I watch are remotely political. They are exclusively about sports and history, and don’t even talk about gun politics, let alone politics in general.

Well, we're comparing reality, the case of a lost election, (thousands of protestors without broad support) to a counterfactual, the case of an impeachment (a million protestors? support from every Republican?).
After he instigated his constituents? Seems to me he's only covering for his ass. Trump is a master gas-lighter, his statements are contradictory with each-other (when he does make any sense) and has so many of them, he jumps around topics and he talks and talks and talks. He's really tiring person to listen to. I bet his supporters don't really understand anything anyway.
The various companies use such coins as a way to do the same thing as shares in a company. In fact, shares are just a pyramid scheme too, if you assume there is no obligation from the company to pay dividends or such.

The difference between coins and shares is such that shares can only legally be owned by a very very small number of people that are licensed to. You can ask them to buy and give you a certificate, but you yourself probably are not one of the few that can own stock. (series 7 in https://www.investopedia.com/articles/financialcareers/07/se...)

On the contrary, coins like these can be bought and sold by anyone. And this makes the balance very different. Should you see the company do stupid things, you can sell your coins in a very short time for nearly no cost and without asking for permission or waiting for banking-hours. Noteworthy is that you can sell them to anyone on the Internet.

Naturally, such companies (and there are quite a lot doing this today) pay out dividends as well. Typically to coin-holders addresses they arrange an air-drop. So simply you own 1000 and they pay 10 extra to that address.

Other strategies are buy-backs when the company is profitable which are meant to make the price go up because there is more demand than supply.

As you can see, there are quite a lot of similarities to stocks, and certainly also differences.
It also doesn't mean they always use their fact checkers... or that they do their jobs effectively.
I'm not a huge advocate of freemium and I would not suggest lowering the price, however you may want to extend the free trial period a little longer.

Thanks for the positive feedback :) Regarding the free trial, I'm kinda hesitant, as if you can't decide after 10 days, will another 10 really make that much of a difference? That said - I accept I could be wrong ;) How long do you think would be fair?
I would personally use this over Groupon. Especially if it integrates well with all the current Google services I use. I'm sure Groupon is a bit uneasy about this one.
Do freelancers sites bring enough jobs/money to work on it full time and make a living?

I guess it depends on where you live, but for here in Poland, sure :)

And whilst freelancing can be somewhat of a lonely business, I found it very satisfying :)
There's a lot of other tests that reviewers have to do, depending on their audience. Video editing (Adobe Premier), 3d Modeling (Blender), a few video games across genres (maybe an Adventure Game (Tomb Raider), a FPS like Overwatch, a strategy game like Total War, and a simulation game like City Skylines), and a few other workloads (audio, programmer, CAD, HPC, etc. etc.).

So there's that, but also the time to write these reviews. And finally, you're trying to out-compete everyone and release the review before everyone else so that your website gets more traffic.

One thing to be aware of when buying one used that I just had to go through is that you can't really get them serviced if anything breaks.

Herman Miller gives a 10 year warranty that they'll fix the chair if something happens to it.

I bought mine about 8 years ago from a co-worker who acquired twenty of them in a dot-bomb auction. It's been awesome, but a few days ago the piece holding the armrest to the back broke, so now I only have one arm-rest.

If I had bought it from a retailer, HM will fix it for free. Even so, 8 years of having it prop me up and this is the first issue I've ever had with it, so I still recommend it.
Great game, I enjoyed this game a lot with my dad when I was a child.

USA now is basically France of early-mid-19th century.

My clumsy prognosis, USA will more or less repeat the route towards the French style liberal state, possibly, with few Napoleons along the way. And if it wouldn't, then it may well end up Weimarized.

You are missing one of the great untold truths of engineering: non-technical people can be just as brilliantly intelligent.

They just don't speak your language or have your experience.

You do not particularly need to dumb it down. You do need to think about which things they actually need to know, and provide some backstory that helps them contextualise it.

Get good at this and your life will be enormously better. Keep this attitude and you will find your world shrinking.

While explicitly high-fallout weapons have been made, most of the more powerful bombs are less dirty, both because fusion boosting is inherently so, and because the maximum destruction radius is a different function of altitude than fallout, so destroying a city is incompatible with poisoning it.
The comment (currently) above this one is a pretty good explanation (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31059618): if there's anything in your memories which will help you escape the imminent death situation, then you might survive.
