IMHO, he is shooting a bow that's too light for hunting or fighting. I'd say he shoots below 30 pounds, which works for what he does, but nothing else.
hm, in the video Todd Combs mentioned listening to Buffett say to do this in 2001. Its likely you start seeing massive benefits of this within 5 years. So overall at least 20 years ago, but most likely started much earlier.

Cuz it's wavender. Duh.
Did Google render and cache all tiles on some interval? Otherwise, server load may affect speed if expired tiles are re-rendered.
Will WebSockets also be supported for all customers?
Amusing that it has a more useful port than the new Macbook.
I'd definitely consider using a Chromebook if the offline functionality works. My understanding from people I know working at Google is that the offline Docs and Gmail experience is pretty sub-par at the moment.

I guess if you pop out their SSD for a larger one it'd make a decent BSD netbook. Bitrig[0] is slowly but surely getting better.

Per other articles I've seen on HN, the biggest problem now is bosses think "But you're just not in the office enough -- we need you to do office politics and be friendly." It's easier to feel like you're running a successful company if you show up at an office daily, perhaps?
We do a pretty relaxed version of it; it's fun. It doesn't feel like micromanagement to me.

If I need to do something that doesn't have a task in the backlog, I just add one and then click "start" in Sprintly. No big deal. It's basically a shared to-do list, and I'm a to-do list kind of guy.

I like the daily stand up meetings. Specifically the emphasis on the fact that it shouldn't be more than 15 minutes in length.

You have my sympathies though. I can certainly see how some companies would implement Scrum in a way that is really anal-retentive and gets in the way.
that ROM is not stable. It has many bugs along with random reboots.
1) They easily could have raised all the capital they needed

2) They're already a successful company
Without making a conscious brand based decision, i found myself owning lots of Panasonic electronics in the the 90s. Walkmans, CD Walkmans, headphones, TVs, Car Stereos.

They all seemed to me to beat the Sony equivalents, in execution if not in innovation.
I saw someone with this issue on HN the other day. Though I've never had that myself, you can apparently pull down to refresh the contact list within Signal after tapping the "write new message" (white pen on blue background) icon.
> There are no sources of information that are credible with more than 45-55% of US Gen pop

I completely agree

I also agree that John Oliver has a liberal bias! What I don't think, however, is that his bias is required by his business model.

(Curiously, as we discuss the daily show hosts, my very conservative parents both really like Trevor Noah. However, I don't think comedy central is to be our information salvation)
I’ve changed my profile photo to a photo of Signal next to its logo along with a short message asking people to contact me on that medium. That way Facebook gets dirty data (an incorrect profile photo). I recon that people pay more attention to profile photos than status messages too.

Then to win whatever argument they fire at me I reply with something like “Thanks for your insight Dave but I’m not asking you to quit WhatsApp. I’m just asking you to use Signal for our group chat and to keep in touch with me. You are welcome to use WhatsApp to keep in touch with others. I’ve done my research, I know what they are doing at a technical level and have decided to stop using WhatsApp.” A statement like this opens up very few avenues for argument because you are not directly accusing the other person of being ignorant. So they will not usually feel the need to defend themselves. You are merely informing them of your preference. They may feel the need to remind you of their argument and the best way to reply to that is to paraphrase their argument accurately even if you don’t agree with it. I know it’s mean and manipulative but arguing about privacy is just a waste of time IMO. Some people get it, some just don’t. Leave it be.
Racism must affect all skin colors equally before you will call it widespread? Interesting.

Perhaps the problem is people like you who are so convinced of the infallibility of Higher Education that you assume there must be some illogical reason for criticizing it. So we have to keep hammering the point.

Or perhaps it's that many of us realize traditional higher education is no longer working. After suffering through endless interviews with college graduates that only have basic math skills despite graduating from a good university with a 4.0 it has become clear there's a huge problem here.

(For the record I'm a college graduate and a huge supporter of accredited new media Universities like Western Governors University)

No, you're rewriting it by omitting the relevant clause. The race discrimination is one of the clauses that can invoke it, not the only one.

Let me quote it with line breaks for readability:

"Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, "

So, anyone who dies this.

"or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, "

Or who does this based on race, residency....

"shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both"

Shall be punished.

You can invoke the law by doing the first set of things, or by doing the second set of things.

It is an OR clause, meaning if A OR B are true, then the penalties apply. IF there were an AND on race, it would be the way you read it.
There is no law prohibiting private currency.

You are taking fear as a sign of shyness, which is a romantic view of what it really is. Fear results out of a subjective mismatch of your own perceived skills vs. the task ahead.

If in doubt (fear), you should probably spend more time and resources working on your skill set and finding out how (and if) you can be up to the task.

While "Just go for it" will certainly do if you know the guy personally and you're convinced that all he need is encouragement, generally stated (like in this thread) it is bad advice lacking both facts and perspective.
I understand that people want to be safer and everything, but what actual damage would happen from someone stealing your HN account? It has no actual value, it's not linked to anything of value, and any networking that consists of more than "shoot me an email at..." should consist over actual email.

Just don't see any real point in it
Actually, the whole point of AWS is to have options for using hardware that you don't own. They don't offer any magic "all your stuff in one package, guaranteed to work all the time" service. So yes, you do still need to think about your hardware infrastructure. You just don't have to own it.

And Amazon does have all their stuff available in multiple regions. It's up to you to use it though.
This sounds as if they are doing users a favor:

We manage the encryption keys on our users’ behalf.

To be completely clear to users, they should instead write:

We hold the decryption keys and can decrypt your data if compelled to do so. If you don't want us to be able to decrypt your data, encrypt it yourself with GPG or OpenSSL before sending your data to our site.

Edit: Spelling & clarity.
You still haven't explained what it is you expect them to do.

In reality.

Knowing that they have millions of customers, and that they have invested years of work into their current infrastructure.

So, playing devil's advocate for the moment --- and taking the above facts into account --- what, precisely, would you do in their position?
It's because being direct is not the same as being an immense prick.

Most people (including Linus at times, credibility does not make you immune) confuse that issue.
They said almost exactly that. "If you want to be completely secure, use a program such as TrueCrypt to create an encrypted drive within your Dropbox."
> Part of the problem is that "well written code" is unbelievably subjective.

I'd recommend you check out Code Complete if you haven't read it. It is an excellent intro into best practices although its about 1000 pages and a bit dated. As it turns out, we as an industry do have an understanding of what makes code better, and it turns out, its mostly not very controversial - push complexity as low as it can go, simpler interfaces tend to be better, argument pass through causes errors, functions longer than 80 lines are associated with higher error counts, optimize code for human comprehension later (~70% of the effort that goes into code is maintaining it) etc etc.
Had no idea about starboard.gg. This is incredibly cool. Gonna play with it more.
So this "visibility map" is a little bit like Netfrastructure/Falcon in-memory versioning, then? I see.
> There is one other thing you could be referring to that the online materials can't give you, namely in person instruction and feedback

It's the labs and the projects. Especially for engineering degrees, a good part of learning comes from shipping projects. I think it's where "everyone doing MOOC" falls short.
I fully expected you to have linked to this: https://xkcd.com/1425/
> To try to tame that volatility problem, Marlinspike and Goldbard say they imagine adding a feature in the future that will automatically exchange users' payments in dollars or another more stable currency for MobileCoin only when they make a payment, and then exchange it back on the recipient's side—though it's not yet clear if those trades could be made without leaving a trail that might identify the user.

This would have to involve KYC or harsh limits.
Yeah, I got about a hundred of them for $5 total when my Radioshack went under. Very jellybean.
While I understand your gut reaction, the fact that those words are unknown to you does not imply that they cover complicated concepts. It's just a new word, nothing more. it has nothing to do with .

Monad is just a way to establish a (type verified) set of rules for a sequence of functions. This set of rules can be -for example- about the management of return value of these functions : executing the next function if we get a result, returning immediately if we have an error.

What is powerful with Monads, is their genericity. They can be applied to many different contexts, and still provide the same type safety.

You're likely already building very limited/specific monads without knowing it.
Plus an approximately 0% chance of hiring anybody who currently has their own private office, unless you have something really special to offer (considerably above-market compensation or prestige or a position on a remarkably interesting project).
Smooth Streaming is certainly a great piece of technology, and thanks to the guys at Code Shop, it now works on several devices and using nginx, Apache and lighttpd: http://smoothstreaming.code-shop.com/trac
Actually, this is one valid point against these ads, that I could agree with. I guess this must be solvable.
That's a fantastic app, but it seems to report that we need to eat about 1000 calories/day (both for me and my family members) more than other calculators... Any idea why?
Funny to think how 'document based' the web was back then. The concept of webapps must have been completely foreign. I'll bet he really hates URL shorteners.

Interestingly, the examples he gave of good URIs (e.g., http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/1998/nsf9814/nsf9814.htm) are still working 12 years later, while the bad ones are broken (e.g., http://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/pubsys/browser/odbrowse.pl).
Good point. So the discussed aspect depends on the country you're in. In Germany, the WiFi operator is held responsible for everything coming from his IP address. This resulted in some very ridiculous court cases in which 70 year old people are accused of downloading music and movies via BitTorrent.
I never meant to imply that cheap gas must be a good thing.

I just didn't see the supposedly necessary connection between expensive oil exports and expensive domestic gas prices.
I hope this is Google beginning to ban Notification ads.
Engineers often focus on problems they can see. If they were at CERN they would not see India's problems, they would be a world away. Cool things like this are doubly useful in places where there is great need, as they attract bright people like lightbulbs attract moths.
An afternoon to write, and then a year or more to work out all the bugs & corner-cases, write the documentation, and convince everyone to switch.

Writing the code is rarely the hard part. There's a whole ecosystem around libraries and languages that takes time to build.
HN is very important, but it is also greatly neglected. I'm not sure if the goal is not to compete with some of the startups or if Paul Graham has some future plans about it. Unfortunately, due to loyalty, people keep sticking in here even if better alternatives pop up from time to time. Some of those being Lobsters [0] and Monocle [1].

>across five studies, we vary specific elicitors of disgust, showing that the relations between political orientation and disgust sensitivity depend on the specific set of elicitors used. We also show that disgust sensitivity is not associated with political orientation when measured with an elicitor-unspecific scale. Taken together, our findings suggest that the differences between conservatives and liberals in disgust sensitivity are context dependent rather than a stable personality difference. Broader theoretical implications are discussed.
The reason companies are paying people less when they move is because they are declaring a pay cut to their staff and the staff are saying "oh, okay".

If a customer started paying me less than our previously agreed rate, I would stop working for them, and find a different customer.

Employment is no different. Don't get screwed every single time your employer tries to screw you.
>>That sounds violently American.

It really doesn't. There are people all over the world who feel the same as the person you're replying to. The feeling has nothing to do whether the city has a "top public transit network" as you put it or a third world always broke transit network.
Do they mean procedurally generated perhaps? Even so, I'm not sure that rnd() * MAX_HEIGHT * RANDOM_SIGN qualifies as procedural.
It'd be nice if I could turn my old Squeezebox Boom into a client for this thing.
And millions of customers stormed shops? Which is the rationale that is provided for carriers taking months to approve updates for everyone but Apple.
On the other hand, this makes for uncomfortable reading (was posted to r/bitcoin earlier today): http://pastebin.com/ufNLW7xZ
I agree. There are talks of a private supersonic aircraft. So logically sub orbital private fleet will exist.

The rest always gets the bad end of the stick. But it will happen in a few generations. That and Mars.
The bazaar seems to have permanent and crippling ADHD and seems mostly dedicated to reinventing wheels. (There are exceptions, but maybe not as many as we'd all like.)

The cathedral is a centralised bureaucratic black hole.

This is another example where O'Reilly's attempts at social engineering have gone horribly wrong. Neither model is ideal, and both are somewhat wrong.

I'm surprised how little computer science is about project psychology, and how little effort has gone into defining the dynamics of successful and innovative developer teams.

There are a few heuristics that seem to work reliably - use a small number of the smartest people you can find, get them to peer review the design before anyone starts coding, and continue peer review as they work - but almost nothing (at least not much I've been able to find) about how to make innovative magic happen reliably.

Point is books like the C & B are story-telling designed to pander to a certain audience, not empirically tested science.

More of the latter and less of the former might do some useful things.
Not sure why you're giving up. The fundamental problem with your website is that it has (by now) been done to death. You aren't going to get away from that particular problem with this:

_It’s a new site that will allow you to keep all of your day to day information online, so you can access it anywhere._

Just some honest advice here, coz' I'd hate to see somebody spend months and months to do something so unspecific and, well, done-to-death.

Did you notice that news.yc became reasonably popular almost the second that it started? Well, Paul Graham has a built-in audience, and that's how it happened. reddit is popular for a similar reason: Both pg and Joel Spolsky gave it some promotion. So, you know, you can't expect a similar trajectory.
I would highly recommend against using this tool, as it is against Facebook's Terms of Service

I would phrase the facts a little differently. I would say that if you use this tool, FB may choose to discontinue your service, while not making a personal recommendation either way.

Quite honestly, if FB chooses to "kick me off" for taking action to reduce my dependency on their service... No great loss. My business will not fail. My kids will still love me in the morning. And my friends will email me as they always have.

Ultimately, I view the threat of kicking me off FB as roughly equivalent to a cable company telling me that if I don't take a particular bundle of services, they won't do business with me any more. Well, ok, you win, let's not do business any more.
I'm sure David A. Wheeler gets Lisp - probably more than most of us. The creators of alternate syntax proposals almost always do, but they're usually not the intended market for their own proposals. Alternate syntax proposals are almost always written by Lisp proponents who want to make Lisp more accessible to others.

In the article, Wheeler says the goal is to "provide a better notation that others can read". To quote pg: "Historically, languages designed for other people to use have been bad"[0]. I've found that to be true with most alternate syntax proposals I've read, including this one. I do not find it as readable as the original Scheme, nor is it as readable as Python.

An interesting project that is developing an updated version of this idea is Metamath: http://us.metamath.org/index.html
Well from the perspective of a programmer that doesn't know lisp, and has been put off in the past due to its syntax: I find this dialect much more appealing.

Nested round brackets are pretty horrible to read / parse.

Whether it destroys the essence of what lisp is all about is another matter, but I suspect it doesn't at all.
Maybe it would even be possible to reproduce these webpages using HTML.
It's very important for us all, i dare to say its even more important for people doing creative work (which in my opinion includes programming).

One thing people must pay attention when they get stuff is that it doesn't help you if you get something that do not fit your body's ergonomics needs. Just because an HelloWorld chair helped someone to relief his back pain doesn't mean it will work for you.
hmm, if i were a MotoGP rider I would so be getting a cat right now.
I think the PC succeeded because of the massive demand in business for a reliable, cheaper alternative.

The thing about the markets these days is that a tablet and a phone are very different from an office computer. They're much more personal. They're also cheaper to start with, so people might just be willing to pay for quality in ways that small/medium/large-sized businesses wouldn't for PCs.

But all of this is sort of thinking relativistically in terms of the desktop/tablet/phone space. However, there are too many paths out there these days for things to proceed slowly, linearly and predictably.

That's the one huge advantage that Linux has over all of this. It attracts people who are in left field who are going to change the entire paradigm. Maybe the future is 3D CSS transforms. Maybe it's Apple. But maybe it's a completely different dialogue. All it takes is one or two misguided people on HN, e.g.
The editorial is definitely written that way. It doesn't exactly reflect what is in the FTC document, though.
If this means FiveThirtyEight goes behind a NYT paywall in the next six months or so, it may not be great for anyone other than the principals of 538.
Sounds low to me. And the agreement not to monopolize sounds flimsy. But I'm sure the class action legal firms did just fine.
My progression was TI-84 -> C64 -> Amiga OS -> Linux. I never had to choose between whatever microsoft or apple were trying to pedal at any given point in time, they both always struck me as bad choices by comparison.
Bill Gates wrote to John Scully to license the MAC OS to third-party manufacturers. Scully refused. Steve Jobs wasn't around when the first mistake was made.

Regardless, the opening paragraphs of the source document make it clear that these are NOT formal policy recommendations.
Straight out of the source document -- "Nonetheless, a compulsory license places an effective tax on certain conduct."

A tax by any other name is still a tax -- and if these ideas are enacted there would be an effective "news aggregrator" tax.

The last SpaceX didn't just return from a suborbital flight, it returned after successfully completing its mission to boost the upper stages on their way to the ISS (where they eventually arrived without issue). As long at the booster was going to come crashing down into the ocean anyway, they decided to use it to test their experimental landing capabilities, and came remarkably close to an unexpected success.
