It depends on how things are implemented. WoT isn't implicitly just a vote based system. If it's actually a web then there is a requirement of a trust connection (or route) between you and the content, and that's much harder to game.

Rust is the most unreadable language that I've tried. I really wanted to like it but everything is just so ugly and unnecessarily complicated. The turbofish reflects that.
I think for EV’s the traffic impact isn’t that valid - you need to aim for around 100km/h for greatest efficiency (watt/km), and then there’s the charging of the batteries - usually an hour or two with fast charging.
The culture of company is much more than its CEO though. And it's the culture of Boeing that changed from an engineering culture to a profit-driven culture. This shift is pretty well-documented. It occurred with Boeing’s reverse takeover of McDonnell Douglas in the late 1990s. This new direction was in no small part the influence of McDonnell Douglas CEO Harry Stonecipher. The following are good reads on what exactly happened:

Sorry, but alternate CPU designs were never outperforming x86 by an "order of magnitude", especially not at a lower clock speed. That is a complete exaggeration. I was around during that time period and can find nothing that supports this. The Alpha was fast, yes, but you're talking 2 to 3x best case with floating point compared to a 2 to 3x cheaper Intel system. I did find some old benchmarks: http://macspeedzone.com/archive/4.0/WinvsMacSPECint.html

UltraSPARC was not very competitive. Those machines were very, very expensive and you didn't get much bang for the buck. They weren't even that fast. The later chips had tons of threads but single threaded performance was pretty bad...

Many advice here will be from people who are not aware of the Asian culture, hope you don't get too depressed by their responses. The truth is that your environment does matter! Just read this article: http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/06/can-indonesias-ciputra-prov...

If you need an environment for motivation, consider relocating. Singapore is a nice option.

Another option is to go work for a startup, and after some more experience you will have a better network with other entrepreneurs and startup minded people.

I believe there are some startup groups in kuala lumpur too, try to hang out there.

Good luck
Apple hates hackers. Didn't the missing Esc key clue you in?
Lets start investing in our kids across the board.

State and federal funding for schools is inadequate. Wealthy areas invest additional money in education to bring the quality up to acceptable. Poorer areas cannot do so. Its an injustice that children from less affluent areas cannot get a good education in a public school, cannot have the same educational opportunities as students from more affluent areas.

Inequality in education is one of our most pressing problems, and yet nobody talks about it because it doesn't effect the affluent.
We were looking to rewrite our WordPress site as a static site last year in the hopes of reducing dev and hosting costs. Our prelim research led us to Hugo but our discussion [1] with them, including a founder of Netlify, led us to sticking with WordPress since we have over 2M posts and can get 1,000+ new posts a day which would lead to a overly-complicated build process and delay publishing posts.

It's not specialised at all. The theory was to make a generic jet that could do any mission and therefore achieve economies of scale for parts etc. But it turns out that trying to be all things to all men means compromises that make no one happy. Compare two existing jets, the F16 and the A10 for example. They have one mission each and they do it well - but you couldn't send one to do the others mission.

The VTOL capability is also needed for aircraft carriers.
true I was talking more about doing tech/scientific programing as a discipline - I started as an associate professional what's some times called a professional apprentice though at the time if you had called me or my pears apprentices we would have told you where to go in no uncertain terms

I recall I was considered a bit flash because I used Mixed Case in my Hollerith statements for input prompts.
I'd always prefer having a system that use analogous signals for simple things when it's possible, instead of a full software approach. Hard, thick wires and big components are more resilient and work for a long time.

Of course there are task where software will be necessary and will add features, for there are simple things that should not always be digital.
Can't we just go back to building pyramids? There must be some scheme that siphons off as much excess capital as possible so we can happily remain serfs and doesn't provoke arguments. The Egyptians managed to build pyramids for many, many, many decades. They are tried and tested unlike these new fangled war planes things.
I think you're incorrect. An attacker could simply change the code on your server to make the form submit to a malicious location. The user would never know there was an attack going on.

The entire point of SAQ A-EP is to cover the edge case that was letting people use offsite, iframe, and js checkouts. It puts the web server that is doing the hosting of the site in general into PCI scope.

No teenager uses discord as their only social app. It is a supplementary chat app for gaming, chatting with friends and anime. Most are on Instagram or twitter, very few on Facebook.
I love his work. His "webtorrent" is also great. I always wondered if anyone is using it on their website to lower the cost of distributing large files.
At this point I feel like instagram is only popular because there is a generation who can't/won't read anymore.

Found the manager. This is just more developer hate drivel. Yes, if you think managers are more valuable, then obviously you are going to say engineering work is "incredibly limited" and manager activities are "orders of magnitude more impactful" Listen, no amount of ass kissing and brown nosing is going to solve actual tech problems.
That's why I mentioned the Invidious project which is a YouTube frontend. Also solving the ReCaptcha is for most of us not an insurmountable task, it's definitely worth the cost if you want some real privacy.

IE6 doesn't fall back and produces a Javascript error (I'm at work and GhettoBrowser is our 'standard'). Works great in Chrome of course.
Looks pretty good.

Two points that I'd not follow.

Diet: Eating grains. Gluten is pretty much evil for everyone, including non-Celiacs. Google for "paleo diet" or "gluten autoimmune" to get a sense of gluten's impact.
Also check out the "Save my Life" HN thread for more info about gluten-free/paleo.
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1399450

Exercise: Cardio, long slow distance is pretty much useless. High intensity intervals, 200m, 400m repeats will have a much bigger impact.
If you really love endurance, check out http://crossfitendurance.com/ and google for "tabata intervals"
And getting value out of it was the best thing that could have happened. However, the incendiary responses and the personal e-mails come with the territory of having a blog, submitting it to aggregators only increases that. HN or not, this is the internet - and everything that comes with it.

A worst case scenario is you got no responses. At least this way you know people are reading what you write, and actually care enough to say anything to you at all. This, as my boss always says, is a "happiness problem."
Yea great article. I also had a simliar misconception.
Hey, have there ever been discussions about a making a truly native client? not a web wrapper?

imo a fast native client, that doesn't look like a sad slack clone (which teams currently does) would put you streets ahead of the entire field.

I know it means increasing code complexity.

but by golly would it be nice to have a truly nice client.

Css-in-JS
Pros:

- Enforce only local styles
- Developer productivity
- Better theming support
- Better support for dynamic styles
- Easier to consume packages
- Typesafe styles

Cons:

- Worse runtime performance
- Bigger bundle size
- Fragmentation of ecosystem
- Idiosyncratic additions to css

It depend on your project. For small and medium sized projects I would recommend CSS-in-js. For large and performance-sensitive css-modules would be better.
Suspended animation with low body temperatures is very common. I've undergone it myself for several hours. But it's very difficult, expensive and takes a lot of resources.

I venture to say that 'easy' suspended animation (as shown in sci-fi movies) is one of those things that will be unobtainable for long-term use for quite a long time in the foreseeable future.
Also it needs to hijack the back stack, so when you try to back out it asks if you really really really want to leave.
This seems pretty plausible considering Hangouts, aka Talk 2, is being shut down the same month. So weird that presumably they glommed their print service on top of chat.
I read the GP's "from the perspective of investment" more like a sort of "corporations, despite being made of humans, are inhuman paperclip-maximizers" attitude. You can't convince a corporation to "do what's right", because caring about "what's right" requires a human definition of "right"†, and corporations don't have that, instead having other conceptual preferences in its place, that you have to appeal to instead.

You can't convince a paperclip-maximizer to preserve human life because "it's right"; you have to convince it that doing so will somehow get it more paperclips. You can't convince an investment firm to stay out of China because "it's right"; you have to convince it that doing so will somehow make it more money.

You may come out way ahead if non-local expenses are a large portion of your budget. Everybody else loses.

I'm out of the bay area, at a government contractor, with an interesting job. I can afford a huge family, currently with 14 people in the household supported on one income. Life is just easier where the houses are affordable.

I don't know what you'd consider an interesting job or what you'd qualify for, but how seriously have you looked? People can have a bias that stops them: if you allow that the interesting jobs exist, then you have to seriously consider them and ultimately act by moving, but that is a lot to think about and a lot of bother, so therefore there aren't any interesting jobs elsewhere.
Whoever created this document clearly believes the TSA should be conducting general warrantless searches. It's either that or whoever wrote it believes scuba training manuals or prepaid phone minutes have some relevance to transportation security.
> Sometimes caring about other people's feelings (especially in the short term) can lead to duplicitous, decietful, dihonest, fraudulent, counterproductive or wasteful behaviors.

I think this is a lie that liars tell themselves. When you say you are lying to spare someone else's feelings -- what you really care about is your own feelings, protecting yourself from having to deal with their reaction to the truth.

I think it's lying and lack of concern for the truth that actually lead to counterproductive and wasteful behaviors. Have you ever worked somewhere where nobody trusts each other and nobody tells the truth about what's going on? I think many of us have. How's that situation for productivity?

Neither the OP nor anyone else is asking Linus to lie about anything.
I see them less as an equivalent to yelp and more as a way of providing instant feedback to business owners. It seems more a feedback system than a review site. I haven't had the chance to try it out though so this is based purely on what I've read about them.
I think pg meant the literal sense. Unscrupulous VCs will waste an entrepreneur's time by never saying no just in case the situation changes, but statistically hardly ever give a definitive yes.
one problem we recently faced was we run Xen on remote servers.

We found out that our 3 year old storage hardware had some firmware conflict with Xen (or something like that)

took 2 weeks to diagnose + a plane trip out to fix, even then we weren't sure we got it.

after this, we moved to Rackspace.. there is no way that a sys admin running one rack of equipment is in the same position as Rackspace to diagnose and fix these types of issues.

i imagine if Rackspace/Amazon had this type of problem, they would:
1. Have 24 hour manned data centers
2. Have the input of a team of 20 engineers working on the problem
3. Have a Dell/IBM/HP engineer at the data center within the hour
4. Have lots of spares - no calling in new hardware

Having been a (part time) sys admin for years, the worst problems are those that are hardware related and are difficult to diagnose.

(The other advantages of Cloud, e.g. scalability etc are well documented. But i think my ideal setup would be dedicated, non virtualized databases with Cloud front ends)
I agree. I'm a huge fan of Google. I honestly don't even expect them to support their 'free' products like Gmail with 1 on 1 customer service. I frankly wouldn't either.

But when Google has your actual cash as in the case of Google checkout, and you can't even get a decent reply from them? That really shakes my faith in them as a company.
False dichotomy. What's happening now is that the barriers to both fields are being lowered, and the youth coming up today has the opportunity to become adept at both from an early age.

Granted, both fields require different thought processes and it's rare if not impossible to be truly great in both, but that's not what a startup needs. A startup needs a decent idea, fast execution, and hustle at all levels. Two things that factor very little into developing traction are stunning design and impeccable engineering. You want something that works and looks decent, but it's more important to move quickly and achieve product-market fit.
When I find a technical book that I want to buy, the first thing I do is search to see if it's available as a download. I'm happy to pay - I just don't see any need to own a physical book that consists primarily of extremely tangential technical knowledge. I have tons of outdated technical ballast (e.g. "The SQL 2000 Bible", "The IIS 5.0 Pocket Guide") gathering mold in boxes in my basement already.
Or from a slightly different perspective, "strongly encouraging the developers at Dropbox to focus _now_ on security/privacy issues that ought to have been dealt with before pushing their existing code live". Doesn't seem to deserve the label "worst crime" when described like that.
Actually, it is already illegal for cable companies to not provide a-la carte channels, the problem is they have a workaround which is that to get them, you have to order basic service, and then they charge ridiculous amounts for the individual channels.
Since it hasn't been a topic in the press for those 20 years, I think that actually supports the idea that this is a fad. Fads are mostly disconnected from the slow progression of science. (I don't mean that makes it wrong, of course.)
> There is no sane person in the world that believes that a torrent site's primary purpose is for legal downloads.

You cannot say that. That's absurd. There are tons of torrent sites with legal content, and whose primary purpose is the sharing of legal content. For example http://www.clearbits.net.

> Tis only a matter of time before laws start getting passed, ISPs are forced to monitor and people start getting cut-off/fined.

Bypassing whatever ISPs put in place will likely still be easier than purchasing, especially given that pirated content typically has a higher quality than paid content. It's a double-whammy: paying for DVDs or CDs forces you to see ads (occasionally telling you not to pirate!), in some cases download DRMed, locked content, and usually at a lower bitrate than the pirated options.

Not only is it easier to pirate, but you usually end up with a higher-quality and less annoying product.

Edit: The solution to all of this is for the content distributors to realize and understand the situation. If they put all the high-quality content online and provide direct, fast downloads (without treating me like a criminal!) then the world will change and most people will buy content...I think.
There was a time when people thought the primary purpose of an mp3 player was to play pirated music, would you claim that an article about a new mp3 player was "advocating piracy"?

Stating that a piece of software exists is hardly "advocating" using it for illegal purposes. Most of the usage of torrents probably is copyright-infringing downloads, but that's not its only purpose and that doesn't mean a journalist can't talk about it.
agreed, i don't think the combined likes of samsung, ibm, toshiba, sony, amd, etc have more superior fabs than intel.
I think github is a "de facto" collaboration site, but the process is different... You start working on something you find interesting, and if others feel the same way, they might contribute.
> and autogenic training combined with autosuggesty actually helped me reach previously inconceivable levels of performance.

You keep using that word 'inconceivable', I don't think you understand what it means ;)

Why was it inconceivable that you could achieve such levels of performance if you then actually went about and achieved them ?
I think the reason is that internet is full of trolls and if you don't put significant effort into making community / collaboration clean and vibrant then the collaboration site is destined to fail.

For example, compare Quora and Yahoo! Answers. I don't thing Quora is successful because they have very good UI (it does not hurt), I think they are successful becasue they are very serious about making they site clean and without trolls. On other hand, Yahoo! Answers is 'troll heaven'.
And the blog post by the documentation author:

The simple, text-based UI is refreshing. Reminds me of a cleaner-looking Utopia (the game).
I think a lot of that problem disappears when you start using separate receive addresses with each transaction. Yes, that can become a bit of a pain, but it's more than doable.

From what I remember, the default of the GUI, at least, is to generate you a new receive address as soon as you receive something on your current address. That should remove a lot of the problems of tracking net worth.
> I'm sure the relative silence has a lot to do with it but the car absolutely feels faster. It's difficult to explain, you've got to drive it to understand.

See my earlier post in this thread with a series
wound electric motor has infinite torque at stall (not
yet rotating). So, standing still or moving slowly,
an electric car, with a lot of power, can feel like
it has instant, effortless, and amazing acceleration
compared with an internal combustion engine that
has to use gears and a clutch or torque converter.

> fuel economy, maintenance, reliability,

Yup, a Tesla could have some advantages especially
since its engine really has only one
moving part, the armature of the electric motor,
or two for the D model. That's a long way from
the number of parts in an internal combustion
engine with camshaft, push rods, rocker arms,
valve springs, valves, pistons,
connecting rods, ....

But, for a Tesla, there's a chance
that in time the battery will need to be
replaced.

Long ago a Ford executive said, "You
build me a good battery, and I will
build you a good electric car.". Apparently
Tesla has made a lot of progress on the
battery, but it remains an issue,
for cost, weight, charging time,
and lifetime.

But, no joke, an engine with just one
moving part, and no transmission,
has one heck of an advantage in
maintenance and reliability.
I disagree. It's a REPL, but a REPL is not always a CLI.

(Frankly, most REPLs are smarter than shells. I go to irb way more than I do bash, these days.)
While I was in my college I used to sleep for only 5-6 hours a day, which was okay in college. Once I started working I got severe back pain due to less rest to the body. Sometimes it was difficult to walk also.

After consulting a doctor, I started sleeping for at least 7-8 hours everyday and also changed my eating habits. I don't get back pain anymore. I did not have the slightest clue that less sleep could cause back pain.

Getting enough sleep is very important stay healthy and be productive.
I've implemented this. It isn't too bad up to a certain point. You have to be a bit careful about your filesystem/layout of files, lots of filesystems don't particularly like it when you have a few hundred million files in one directory.

I like how unpretentious the example is. Your site really says you don't need to be a master designer to tighten up your stuff, make it easier to decipher and get a better result.

It also says that design is a part of everything.
I wish this show hadn't been cancelled.

Given the popularity of it, I can't help but wonder if this is one of the many reasons why (aka, they pissed off too many of the big powerful folks).
