Note that this is absolutely bullshit. If you combine Edge and Edge legacy into one product, we see less than a factor of 2.

Edit: additionally note the conspicuous absence of internet explorer from this list which has been likewise EOLed. The total market share held by Chrome Safari and Firefox over this time has remained constant, and they had to get those 4% from somewhere, my guess is IE.
An even more obvious answer is he doesn't want his employees or his competitors to be able to monitor his private conversations which they would be able to do if he were to use most commercial messaging systems.
If it helps any, you can see my hypocrisy from 7 years ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7418525

I’m a total hypocrite about this, but as many have pointed out, I can easily be an edge case. But if you read my comment from 7 years ago, you can see roughly the level of justification I was using and denial I was in.

But not everyone is me, and it’s possible in the process of accepting I’m not particularly special, that I’ve begun thinking we are all in fact the same and will go down the same path with this stuff.

I’ve talked in length in this thread mainly because it’s been a defining thing in my life. I know how it started, ended and have thought carefully about every juncture where things could have been changed (tapering down, etc).
Fair enough, but the point I'm making is less about self identification/labelling of belief, but rather the basis of those beliefs. For example: A diagnosis of autism is more than a statement about a persons beliefs; and there is no such thing as being diagnosed as a Christian, or a Republican.

AFAIK clinical diagnoses are a somewhat "physical", or phycological description (whatever the difference there is), of a persons neurology that is more than just belief, or even personality. Pathology seems to be less environmental, and affect a persons mental abilities to a greater degree than "belief".

Consequently, I wouldn't argue what a person says they believe; but then I also wouldn't consider those beliefs inherent, or non-consensual either.
Because we know the absurd amount of guns that surrounds us at any given time, and are acutely aware of how flimsy hunting and personal protection are as excuses for the intent behind the ownership of small arsenals.
As a small business owner, there are a LOT of hateful people out there that would gladly do harm if they had more skills - thankfully they are also incompetent.

But I appreciate your point.
No, no more than any other "reward based system" triggers that response.

This question assumes people who play a lot of hours of Factorio are somehow more likely to drive innovation than a person who plays hours and hours of Call of Duty.
Principled? Maybe, but at the same time, consider that if you anger Google, that's literally 90% of your funding gone overnight and the platform by which you publish your principles won't exist anymore because it went bankrupt. It doesn't make sense to promote principles that bite the hand that feeds you, if that hand is the difference between you even existing or not.

In which case, if you make your "principled" stance and bite Google's hand enough that Google drops the funding... great, you made headlines for a day, but it didn't really accomplish anything and have made the situation worse for everyone by making WebKit the only rendering engine left standing. Great job for principles.

A few differences that seem pretty big:
* after-the-fact tracking and analysis vs a sorta in-progress playbook for trying to score
* not sharing personal information, and not coming off nearly as judgmental in commenting on individual people—especially in the "not sending it to someone you're interested in and seeing" category, jeeze
* sarcasm and jokes are a pretty well-established way of treading on could-be-creepy ground in a less off-putting way

Even the Jezebel post itself, with its tracking down and interviewing people in the spreadsheet, is more creepy than this blog post...
> Jingoistic pejoratives are better left to Reddit

That was really uncalled for (imho), besides there is nothing jingoistic in that comment above yours. What is it? Some kind of feeling of intellectual superiority? What if someone tells you that even HN is just another huge circle jerk? Well, it can be an opinion, or not.

> Bitcoin is a protocol, not a philosophy.

That was the very point of Bitcoin (or rather say "crypto-currencies" from a holistic pov) which you seemed to have missed in its entirety.
What's the motivation for the twins to hold so much bitcoin? They're already taking on a lot of risk with their BTC business investments. Is it just to show faith in themselves and the coin? Or are they so confident that it makes sense to them? Personally I'd want to diversify.
On a side note, did anything change on youtube itself or am I being A/B guinea pigged?

I use to be able to watch youtube videos without any youtube app just using /embed/<video-id> on a browser or mpv.

Now it seems every link is broken unless you go through there data hoarding app? (On android not desktop)
What can a "Team Inbox" do that a distribution/mailing list can't? ( <- no snark, genuine question, I'm sure there are things that I don't see here)
Hi Mark. My name is Jørgen Veisdal, I wrote the essay. I’d love to interview your dad for a book project I am doing. Any chance he might be available for something like that?
Nearly all his documentaries appear to be available to watch here https://thoughtmaybe.com/by/adam-curtis/

They are truly excellent. It's really worth going back to some of the early and mid career films. E.g. The Mayfair Set and the ever relevant The Century of the Self.
> You drank after work with the folks you worked with (in west this is a no no for many good reasons)

In the West, this is a conventional thing that many people expect.
You're right I completely missed that this is a Lua a script part, I was sure it's the Ruby code... (shame on me, shows how much I can't recognize Ruby code...)
The first (or proto) C compiler was written in B†[1] (called NB, or New B). This is the first C compiler written in C.

† Or maybe some variant of BCPL -- I'm not exactly sure how functionally different the two were.

That's not enough, you should include a cache layer which key is the neighbor memory state of length 2k (give or take) and the instruction pointer. You can then simulate at most k instructions at once when hit, a steady improvement over non-cached verseion!
Yeah it's great for Spanish. But I found that knowing (and using) native layout is more valuable to me because when I need to type on someone else's keyboard I'm not lost and can still touch type. If you never need to do this US international is indeed superior layout.

Trying to remember more than two layouts becomes confusing very fast. AZERTY and QWERZ are the two worst ones, fortunately I never need to use those.

Try sharing only a single display of your multi monitor setup on X11. Try sharing a screen at all on Wayland ;)

E: Realised "sharing" would be ambiguous - I mean screen sharing on video calls, etc.

So in your opinion they should invest more in petty crimes rather than serious crimes?
Likewise, I work for a small but international company, and am the only Esperantist here. With only ~100 employees, though, we speak ~20 languages (myself: en-us natively and eo with frequent mistakes and vortara uzado, plus a working knowledge of advanced classical la and basic es-mx).

Mi havis trovita ke Twitter estas bona ejo legi kaj lerni Esperanton kaj interrilati kun aliaj Esperantisoj.
Well, choosing the National Science Foundation as their first target for cutting isn't likely to improve their standing here: scientists identify 55% as Democrats, 32% independents, 6% Republicans (http://people-press.org/report/528/).
"Clearly a popular topic" is it that you have change your tone in the second phase of the experiment. It looks a lot like human now.
Erm, what is wrong with your country?

Non American here - one of my country's favorite discussion topics is figuring out how to hack our (somewhat broken) national governance system/national culture into working well.

One of the ways to do that is to get fewer people into the consulting jobs which steal our brightest and best because of better pay and resulting prestige. Now obviously to do this you need to significantly up the budget for any and all science so that people make a wage which:

a) they can live comfortably on
b) point to so that their clan/community doesn't constantly tell them - "what a waste of your life, make sure your kids don't do that."

That would have immense trickle down effects and huge repercussions for our development. Civilizational transitions/evolutions have more to do with the introduction of technology (fire, agriculture, the stirrup, medicine, writing, the press) than any other agent (I'm guessing mother nature comes close).

So how is this stuff being discussed when "innovation" is supposedly meant to save the economy? How do you guys plan to handle this? Ignore-let it blow over/give them what they want-let them deal with the fallout/???

May I suggest that this is being done for political mileage, that the politicians are smart and understand how the game is played and that this is going to get them votes.

May I further suggest that this be made to blow up in their faces? Since not losing votes<<<<<<<<<<< getting votes?

I don't agree - as soon as you need to make more than one fold in a bit of steel, then pressing becomes cheaper in volume.

People fold prototypes because the press dies are expensive to make, but when made, a press can fold all the edges at once.

Even cheap washing machines are all pressed steel.
Every release of GitLab is not newsworthy. Let interested parties sign up for email notifications.
I am glad you said it. Right now, the setup is so opinionated that it's limited and suffers from the mile wide and inch deep problem. In particular, they are still behind the Jenkins default setup in terms of standardized xunit output parsing, tracking and visualizing test trends over time - and since they have all the git topology information at their disposal there are amazing possibilities there and its a real shame. They are light years away from large scale project management capabilities of JIRA + plugins and I wish they would improve the core source control + build pipeline experience before tackling that space.
Windows 10 includes one with clipboard history now.
Flak? You mean, respect from people who were around for a few years (or decades) and saw the sexy new thing change from under them in incompatible ways?

I've seen some reprieve towards MS for their new things not being nice enough, but never for their old thing continuing to work mostly without a hitch.
U.S. v. Leon (1984) disagrees with you.

Added a "good faith" exception to the 4th amendment.

Meaning that, if the police were acting on a warrant they believe they obtained correctly, the evidence they collected usually is admissible.

In this case, both they and the judge thought disabling an unknown tracking device was probable cause to search for the device. During that search, the police found drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Windows 10 has a clipboard manager with clipboard history now. It's largely just an awareness issue at this point.
I'm worried about being on the road with these. If they are as indestructable as suggested/demonstrated, it seems like everyone else on the road becomes the crumple zone for both vehicles. Perhaps the anti-dent is different from crumple zone considerations, but definitely a bit intimidating to share the road with.

And does it only come in one color (stainless)?
Shameless plug: I ended up writing a full blog post about the topic, and included more detail and some links to the Locale plugins that I use.

Sweet! Fixed. The typo was only in the visible link, but good catch. (I should probably just register newbslur since I type it so damn much.)
A better example would be paying for something with cash. You're taking money, and giving it to someone else(presumably in exchange for a good or service).

The point is that you're moving your currency(BTC, USD) from you to another party without any intermediary interfering with the transaction. If you mail $1 to someone, that's effectively the same thing as paying them with 1 BTC.

EDIT: I think the people who are saying that Bitcoin cannot have banks are conflating payment processors with banks. A bank is a place where you go to put your money, and they use that money to make loans, which gets them more money through payments on loan interest. They incentivize this behavior(giving them money) by giving out interest on the amount in the accounts.

Payment processors are companies(i.e. Visa, MasterCard, etc.) that let you take your money from an account, and give it to someone else. Banks may offer these in the form of checking accounts, but that is not their intended purpose. These, I agree, are definitely not needed with the Bitcoin system, because that's what the entire protocol handles.
Also, there are some new developments using aerogel for touch sensitivity.

I think that makes a lot of sense - relationships build loyalty and trust (as long as they are positive in nature). Buying something and never interacting with the producer doesn't build much of a relationship - it's merely a transaction.
When you work for someone else you don't get to make the rules. The quicker people realize that, the better off they will be.
Yes, I wrote on the assumption we aren't going to establish causation, so I was begging your question.
It's not "getting hacked a lot". What you are talking about is probably just the take-down of a few hidden services with poor operational security.
I like this format. Looking forward to seeing more of it.
I try to teach my kids two lessons around money. One, don't spend all of your money. Save some of it. Basically get in the habit of having some amount of money without feeling the need to spend it. Two, when you do have an amount of money that you're not spending, invest it with broad diversification. That lesson is obviously are more complex one that comes later, but it's a likewise important piece. Both to avoid the money inflating away, but also to avoid conflating the ideas of investment and speculation.
I have a facebook account, but I don't use it anymore.

I hate to see how awesome other people's life seems. I can't stop but get envious and disappointed. Yet, I kept coming back for more. I had the unhealthy compulsion to keep scrolling through the happy stuff, while feeling bad for my "mundane" living.

I stopped using facebook. I feel much better.
It made me feel sad. FOMO and all that. At the end of the day, I just didn't like who I was after using it. I'm a happier person without it.
I won't start worrying until it can build other Lego factories.
You could do that, including figuring out your NAT/Firewall, how to proxy through apache to your app and have to worry about security. Or, you could just do this:

show 3100

I dunno, I'm a busy dude and my time isn't free. So I'd rather pay $5 a month to have someone figure this out for me and let me spend time leveraging it to build cool stuff of my own.
I saw this a while ago on some CSS gallery. This looks amazing! I would strongly recommend getting some live help on the website to help get more users on there.

I see good potential but this is already a pretty crowded space with freshbooks and ballparkapp being my two favorites.
The part I like the most is that first paragraph, none of whats listed is what the companies do. New Relic - app monitoring. Stack exchange - Online communities. Dot cloud - app deployment.
When I saw this article, I briefly thought that the editorial board of the Chronicle of Higher Education had taken over Nature. Depressing articles of this sort are published in there on a regular basis.
I got this too and also ignored it.
I tend to maintain a neutral opinion and use additional input to come to an absolute conclusion.
Hi. Person assigned WebMIDI for Firefox here. Hoping to get it happening in the next couple of months. We really need this is more browsers to push the spec to standard, it's been in Chrome Canary/flagged forever just waiting for more support.

blogspot, wordpress, tumblr, posterous

You can get a free account on all these. There's also blogsome and livejournal, but not as good as the above.
You are going to make a lot of mistakes, some painful, others interesting. Happy hacking!
I'm sure from a reporter perspective it doesn't appear like there's much of a technical side to what appears to be a wordpress blog with cats on it.
Well, this would be true if the burglar wasn't worried about the police showing up. But if he thinks the police are going to be there in 5 mins, and he hasn't already cased the place real good, he is probably going to have a hard time stealing the good stuff. If the fog is thick enough he won't be able to read labels.

As far as being on camera, having a HD video at the entrance of the store (that records as the thief enters) is better than a lot of low quality video of robbing. So you could make up for the fog affecting the recording of the theft.

That said, if he cases the place well enough, and knows how long it takes for the police to show up, the fog may not prevent the thief from getting away with expensive items.
Summary: SELinux executes untrusted input without sanitization

"The setroubleshootd daemon which runs as root, activated by its DBUS activation file when sedispatch was forwarding its AVC denial message, straight passes the pathname to a shell without further sanitization."
The blog post is only three years old, and the problems it brings up are basic language problems. Has the language really changed that much in three years? And if so, wouldn't that leave all the existing projects out in the cold?

Serious question. I don't know the PHP community at all.
That makes much more sense then. At that moment the newsletters were a good way to distribute the links even if the author of the newsletter didn't necessarily agree with everything behind every link (like the PGP claim).

To get the better idea of the time, remember that Google didn't exist then.
While the word "school" makes me shiver, "hacker" exactly cancels it. And I read it as "school, made by/for hackers". So pretty much self-explanatory; at least for potential applicants and mentors.

(Speaking as a foreigner) I do understand that immigration office will be suspicious (as it sounds for them as a "terrorist camp"), but well, it can be done on tourist visa AND its official name can different (e.g. "programmer school"... or even "recurse center").

"Recurse center" sounds totally generic and vague ("curse center"? "recluse center"? is it some sort of holidays or rehab?).

Of course, everything can be rebranded, but I wouldn't call an instant rapport "the biggest mistake".

Yes, working from home is great. It is a luxury. Working at your own pace is also nice.

But working "on the Internet" means you're also comparing yourself to the best, brightest, and driven. Then it seems like you're achieving maybe 10% of what you seemingly could be, because you're setting your own goals based on what you see out there.

It's like getting stuck in traffic. You can point out that I'm sitting in climate-controlled car, listening to a podcast, drinking coffee, having a better time than 99% of humans throughout history. It's true. I know it's true. And I'm still frustrated that I can't go faster, and I rock in my seat every time I move ahead a little as if trying to propel the car forward. It's irrational, that's the point, no amount of explaining will make it go away.
I've heard Emacs referred to as a Lisp run-time that happens to implement a text editor within it. You can reprogram it within itself without stopping to parse, recompile, or reload any code. This is pretty normal for Lisp-based applications.

One interesting library I've come across is skewer-mode. It depends on a package that implements an asynchronous web server to inject some handy javascript into your browser that opens up a two-way channel with Emacs. I just have to add the href to load the script in my file and then I can open up a javascript REPL in emacs and load code into my browser without refreshing or anything.

I've heard of projects that let you programmatically embed and control webkit instances.

I publish books from emacs.

It's a handy programming environment and not merely a single-purpose application.
So you've read ten articles this month from a publication which you don't think is worth paying for?

Actually it just means that he clicked on 10 links that sounded interesting. He may not have actually read them.
Interesting enough to check into Erlang. Even though most of us won't approach the load Whatsapp has to handle, it is very useful to understand how to pack more work into smaller hw footprints for any size business.
The title is strange; this seems to be describing dual cameras, not just dual lenses.

One important advantage I'd expect but not listed: an increase in effective dynamic range (the ability to capture more range in shadows and highlights in the same photo [1]) may be possible if there's a sensible way to interpolate data from the 3x and base focal length cameras (which seems to be the case, if the low-light claims are to be believed).
