Yes, technically there are some edge cases where you can write things differently (apart from what you mentioned, one is, for example, writing the UTC time zone by Z vs +00:00 and another is adding additional precision to the date), but for the end user it's basically the same. Let's not ruin the illusion here :)
It's time to come clean, I love you ISO8601 and I always have. You complete me.
FBA coin? XRP and XLM are the oldest and most well known. But there are probably dozens more by now.
> The only workable solutions I've found are that the more focused a board on a select number of topics, the easier it is to effectively moderate in a humane manner,

In my special case, we have a very heterogeneous audience because we are not mono thematical. It is quite problematic if you have people coming together who have widely different expectations.

> and that it is impossible to rules-lawyer your way to success.

I agree. Never do this. The rules will always be used against you, regardless of how detailed they are. And discussions about rules take up so much time. Keep them short and concise but also make clear that they are not set in stone. You will need leeway anyway.

> In the end, you have to spend significant brain-time evaluating behavior on a case-by-base basis, and be willing to ban, listen, and revise in equal measures. It's hard work, and generally unappreciated.

The "significant brain-time" is a problem. You are outnumbered and then fighthing and debunking bullshit takes much more time than producing it (the Trump tactic).

For my case, I came to the conclusion that being nice 80% of the time is good enough. Save the 20% evilness for the notorious cases and you can cut down a lot of mod time. Educating newbies is a different matter but for regulars, I started to warn them one time and afterwards I start temporarily banning in a fibonacci like manner for every subsequent temporary bann. Most get it then or even leave before I have to perma-bann them.
That's also the only time (full) European dates make sense, when writing them on the right hand side of a ledger page so that the exterior of the ledger / book is indexed with the largest components on the edge of the page.

US dates only make sense if you don't care about the year and are writing on the left most side of a page; that might make sense if ink or paper is at a premium.
If you look at a large number of historical maps, you’ll notice that each mapmaker / each country had their own errors (sometimes trivial spelling mistakes, or pairs of cities with the labels swapped, other times comically wrong coastlines or even stuff like California-as-an-island) which persisted for centuries after corrections had been made in maps from other makers. If you compare the errors you can figure out pretty easily which previous map “lineage” was used as the basis for any particular map.
> In most American states the customer is entitled, by law, to the lowest advertised or marked price. The store must honor that price.

Advertised by whom? If you mean advertised by the very store in which the customer is trying to purchase the good, that makes a lot of sense (in view of consumer protection /truth in advertising).

However, the previous comment was about the MSRP - the manufacturer suggested retail price. While that's not an average per se, neither is it a mandatory limit. As the name suggests, it's a suggestion.
yes I am using chromium-vaapi thanks.

[edit] I am about to try Arch Linux (or Manjaro) with Xfce to get Chromium-vaapi working

You could just use an AMD GPU on Linux. They've had (more than) competitive open source drivers for a few years now, and they play well with all the modern Linux desktop protocols.
Laws should not protect people from themself (education should do that instead). It can protect people and animals and trees from some bad stuff some people are doing (e.g. fireworks, as message 21620305 mentions), while trying to not be so restrictive. I think even mentally ill people should not be protected from themself (unless the condition is temporary).
It's worse than that... WM's that people care about will be ported/rewritten (I know I will probably do one). But the "wm" now needs to have much more infrastructure functionality which doesn't really need to be different.
Even KDE was only able to gain support for EGLStreams after an NVidia developer Erik Kurzinger contributed the necessary changes to Kwin.
GP wants to do self study and only a few months, I'm not aware of a better resource for that purpose.
I thought this was common knowledge. You could always use Word and Excel on Skydrive (now Onedrive).
It's not that difficult to get CMake to build a static binary.

SET(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES ".a")
SET(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARIES OFF)
SET(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-static")

The bigger problems with building a static binary on Linux are that:
1. Most Linux distros don't install static versions of libraries. You can't link in a static library dependency that doesn't exist.
2. glibc can't "really" be linked statically because of the way it's designed. See here for the gory details: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/1998-12/msg00083.html

Naturally, you have problems #1 and #2 with autotools or any other build system as well, since they aren't CMake problems.
Sure, I'm reading between the lines a little here. But they deliberately restructured skype to be less secure and more expensive. Unless your opinion of MS's competence is really THAT low, it seems reasonable to conclude that they were compelled to make the change.

What lead you to use Mongo for userdata/metrics and Postgres for words? Are there specific features of each that you're using? I'm new to both, so just trying to learn which use cases prefer one over the other...
The problem for amazon that strong competition is appearing. Walmart is starting to take ecommerce seriously. And growth is declining(maybe they are related ?) .

And i don't think this is exactly overnight. Prime, and amazon's customer service are good examples of amazon trying to build a "love" brand.

To some extent it could be a desperate move by bezos - because what if in the future people will prefer to do their ecommerce via phones ?
Some companies use an intermediary, like Trinet [1]. You write them a check every pay period, and they disburse the funds to your scattered employees for a small fee without you having to handle the logistics of it.

That is pretty shady of Ford. They were one of the few American car companies I kind of respected. Not anymore.

As a small aside, for anyone interested in this, The Imitation game was in my opinion fantastic, though I assume anyone here would already have seen it, or have plans to.
Read your own comment.

You're basically saying that laser cutting and CNC stitching - operations performed by robots based on files uploaded by computers - are done better in China than here.

That's like someone in China saying that we are better at standing. People on both sides of the ocean probably do just fine at both. ;)
Gotta love the co-founder reviewing the service as a happy customer:

I have been very pleased with my own work. I syndicated my startup by hand and got over 50 reviews, mentions, tweets, and backlinks. I got a few hundred visitors and a handful of signups. But it took me awhile and it was godawful boring. I wish I had met the Magical MoFo earlier! My fingers would be less withered and my hair less grey.
All left hand, and my Caps Lock is mapped to Ctrl. Life-changing.
First off, when you install an application on Android it tells you every permission that an app asks for, i.e.:

Location
Data
Contacts
Etc

As a developer of mobile apps and a user of both flurry and AdMob, I send them a both user's "data" in order to find out the general location of the user, as well as the OS they are running and the device they own. This isn't "selling" their data, it's giving it to these analytics platforms so we can view our audience and therefore allow us to better serve our users/customers.

The same hoopla can be brought up about Google Analytics and AdWords. This isn't a new phenomenon, and it isn't a big deal.
I know it's not "at a glance" if it requires a key combo, but you can hide and show the dock with Cmd-option-d.

If you're also just wanting to see what's running, Cmd-Tab like you were going to switch apps, but don't cycle it, it shows the running app list.

Great article, worth repeating/re-reading every now and again.
Rockstar is not. Their output is quality because they are willing to spend five years on a single game, because they have the money to, and they are perfectly willing to make people redo their work a hundred times until it is acceptable.

From everything I've heard from somewhere in the range of 5 friends who are ex-rockstar, from almost all their studios (I've known people from North, Vancouver, San Diego, and Toronto), most of their games could have been done in half the time given some proper management and organization.

Really, it's a company where if you want to go home on a weekend the top guy will literally scream at you about being a pussy.

My favorite story was from Rockstar Vancouver, where one of the suits from the main office flew out to oversee their work. He came in on July 1st. On arrival to the studio, he called a meeting with all the leads who were there, and proceeded to yell at them about how few people were at the office, which culminated in "What do you think this is? A fucking holiday?"

Well, July 1st is Canada Day (basically the same as the US's July 4th in terms of import). Guy was lucky anyone was in the office at all.

But just one of many stories that highlight the sheer incompetence and malice with which Rockstar runs their companies.
That's what I was trying to say in my comment.
The operators told them so.

Why do you think every heavy app had this limit? Skype over 3g? Forget. Itunes is just another victim.

Why do you think only months after att cut out the option of a unlimited data plan everyone is announcing data heavy stuff? Android even has voip now.

Expect that limit to go away next ios update.
This is brilliant, thank you for the link. I think you just saved my N1 from an early retirement. I may wait until 2.3 comes down the pipe (soon? please Google?) then do it then. I would hate to see it mess up the OS upgrade. Thank you again.
Timely question, thanks for the write-up. I wish there were reminders like this every month because I've been reflecting on how true Amy Hoy's observation is, that HN fellates intellectual superiority.

I don't believe such acts promote health.

Some inspiring programmers actually work very hard keeping scientific:

I grow their numbers by calling them out whenever I can.
1) Ask people to comment. This is simple and stupidly effective for a few seconds of work. (As always, A/B test if you don't believe me.)

2) Engineer it such that the experience of commenting fills a need for people. People use comments to be validated, to mark out tribes, to cast other people out of tribes, to get questions answered, to form relationships, to blow off steam, to demonstrate expertise, etc etc. Figure out what motivates the users, then figure out how giving them what they want advances your interests.

3) Consider carefully whether getting twice as many blog comments as you do currently would improve your life in any way.
The Linux only site would consist purely of guys sporting long hair and trench coats. Getting some girls in there would be tricky.

Are gamers actually eager for a new Starcraft game? It's been my experience that Starcraft players are eager for a new Starcraft game.
>I love that you see being a Mac user as on the same level as those other, ahem, subcultures.

I don't. I've been using OS X as my primary OS since 2005. The point is, there's a "dating site" for everything as evidenced at the ads I saw the last time I poked at one. Christians. Cheating moms. Busty Russians. I wouldn't be surprised if some sites simply register all sorts of keyword combinations.
Homeopathy takes the body as a whole instead of independently working parts (hearts, lungs, brain etc.). You cannot prescribe correct homeopathy medicine for headache, for example, without taking into account all the mental and physical symptoms.

Though I am not going to start another controversial thread (about homeopathy), I just wonder why the mainstream medical science does not looks at human malfunctioning as a whole system. In other words why there are so many organ/tissues/functions specialists?

May be (with main stream medical science) we are on wrong path and have made things so complicated that it has impossible to consider the whole human body in one shot in any particular disease. Though we fully know that analyzing/treating the parts in a complex system won't take us too far.
Worse. Similar job in a not so prestigious company. I would also take a cut (not now, I just can't earn less) to get a more interesting job. But that wasn't the case.
"Founded in 2008, nHealth was built around a high deductible insurance plan model that utilized health savings accounts and kept costs down making consumers more involved in their healthcare decisions."

Demand-side reforms don't work particularly well, because health care is the only market system where supply drives demand (people don't buy health care services like they buy cell phones; doctors prescribe it because the information asymmetry is too great for it to be a consumer-based decision). Just ask Singapore.

http://www.healthbeatblog.org/2008/07/health-care-in.html

So while nHealth's model might work amongst the young and healthy -- a very desirable demographic -- it doesn't scale very well, and they'd be powerless against the inexorable health care inflation (13%/yr last I checked), even as core CPI is at 1% or less. Right now, the only thing that even comes close to the health care inflation is education inflation.
As I'm pretty sure there is no "human rights legislation" that states that indiscriminate capturing of private video streams is bad unless you only capture an image every 5 minutes, it's likely that technical restrictions are the only reason for the intermittancy - they even say how nice it would be if they could capture everything. Oddly, the primary sources we've been shown don't mention any human rights justification.
Engineers who work for technology companies are in the extreme minority. The average engineer works for a non-technology company doing work that management views as an expense, not a revenue generator, coding up features that sales people who make twice as much as them promised to a client months ago.
Those pesky Germans. Always up to something sneaky.
I run into similar problems. Seems to happen when I disconnect and then reconnect to a different network.
GH is shooting its own foot here. The fact this is the first issue discussed before Atom has even been made public makes me think we'll see a lot of backlash. Eventually GH will cave in and release it under proper license, so why upset everyone in the first place?
Some of GH's appeal relies in its image as a dev-friendly, "cool" company.

Now, as for Atom, they don't need to worry about forking when its opensourced, as GH's branding and integration with the present GH functionality will likely to deter most from using forks.
Facial recognition technology, combined with every camera on earth.

They are laying the foundations for a 24/7 ubiquitous and always-on surveillance and tracking system.

The ultimately goal might be to use very little resources (humans, drones, etc) yet achieve a near-omnipotent level of power and influence.

If they are able to conflate many such methods and systems into one sense of intelligence, then their ability to target their resources effectively is increased significantly.

Their priority isn't necessarily "you" as an individual, but it's "everyone" so they can make sure nothing slips through their net.
Wait, low bandwidth? Of all the complaints about Google Fiber I've heard (none of which are compelling at all, especially when the alternative is the status quo that literally no consumer enjoys), YouTube speed has never come up. Isn't the big perk of fiber instant video? Or am I misinformed?
Now that the king of rage bait is gone will we will see engagement and revenue drop?

Or has that slack been taken up by Bitcoin?
To me personally this speaks well for the personal integrity of Tim, and the tech industry at large. As an urban New Yorker when he came out I was personally shocked by the negative comments (or maybe just stupid comments) that I'd read online in the comments section of high profile business publications. What disappointed me wasn't the comments from socially backwards nations, but from my fellow Americans. Or maybe it wasn't shock, but extreme disappointment.

I wish leaders in other industries would speak out, and show some leadership...
Check out Hacker Brain (link in bio) for pre-collapsed threads.
100 data writes, assuming they're to different files and/or large enough to fill a slice, means 500 disk writes (5 disk writes per slice).

The 500 disk writes are parallelized over 5 disks so they only take the time taken for 100 writes (500 / 5).

So the IOPs is the same as a single disk.

HOWEVER, bandwidth is 4x. The above assumes that seek time dominates. If your writes are multiple slices in length, they will be written 4x faster because the amount of data per disk is divided across the disks. If you're reading and writing large contiguous files, then you do get a big I/O boost from raidz.
People aren't in uproar simply over 'airport security screenings.' They are in uproar over certain practices that they believe greatly infringe upon their rights. The majority of individuals, myself included, feel that we shouldn't have to make a choice between being touched inappropriately by a stranger or allowing a stranger in a back room somewhere to look at our genitalia to travel by plane.

You're probably correct that there should be greater public outcry over civilian casualties in war, but that doesn't mean we can't rally against privacy-invading things like full body scanners.
I would say Haskell. You might not find it directly useful in practice, but it will strengthen your mind like nothing else on your list.
It's the engineering mindset at work: reduction to extremes can give you a good idea of whether or not something has a discrete solution or if it is multi-valued. In this case it seems to me that it is likely to be multi-valued but only in non-real-world scenarios and for all intent and purposes you might as well treat it as discrete: torture == bad.
Wouldn't something like pyjs (http://pyjs.org) solve all of the author's concerns, while still teaching Python?

Come to think of it, perhaps I was thinking that since most folks would rather have/trust a credit card, an additional path is just that, somewhat redundant.
Hey HN,

I'm Stan, Co-Founder of Simvoly and this week we launched our first Lifetime deal that we promote on our own. Before I continue, in Simvoly we are building a different type of a platform combining funnels, websites, and e-commerce with a 100% white label program (meaning that anyone can promote their own version of the platform).

Why we decided to run a Lifetime deal to promote our new Funnel Academy to change how businesses are selling or generating leads online. The idea is not to appeal to the Lifetime deal community because they are really hard to upsell and a lifetime deal is not great for growth.

First, we created this super easy flow with a funnel on our platform. The landing page explained the platform well and make it super simple to capture one of the 3 deals. Yes, we released 3 lifetime deals and surprisingly for us, not the middle one but the top (10 funnel deal) is our best-seller.

We decided to target people who are already paying for other funnel or page builders to help them make a quick jump and test our product. We know that one they try it, they will most likely convert to us as we are superior to the competition.

Ways to promote you may ask? We, of course, targeted LTD groups as a jump-starting community but we also made it SUPER simple to share the deal with others and earn 35% affiliate for every customer. We got people sharing in all sorts of groups and websites to create a viral effect. We are also doing remarketing in google and facebook + more ads in facebook focused on entrepreneurs, funnel communities and similar.

The deal is still running (until Cyber Monday) if you want to check it out.

To summarize, it is so much better to run your own lifetime deal to promote a new release to an existing audience and finding new customers similar to what you have because you know who you are targeting. You know that they can bring value and the LTD is just a way to attract attention and noise around your product. Platforms like Appsumo and similar are great for just starting companies to find best testers and get some traction but for a growing company - do your own promos and targeting.
Hi sidlls, thanks for your attention!

If I understand you correctly, by saying "the redis integration should be reconsidered", you means the [RedisClient](https://godoc.org/github.com/RussellLuo/slidingwindow#RedisC...) interface is [go-redis](https://github.com/go-redis/redis) specific, is that right?
Makes sense -- in-house NIH is generally better for a few key things (ex: integration) and ultimately worse for most. Good luck!
Computer Science curriculum was never intended to produce competent software developers. You're complaining about the wrong problem.
Could you please be specific about which part of the reasoning given in the article you think is not solid?

The company insists that it does not want to be in the position of judging what is true and false, with its head of communications, Nick Clegg, saying that it was not an “appropriate role for us to referee political debates and prevent a politician’s speech from reaching its audience and being subject to public debate and scrutiny”.
I disagree. The reason it doesn't work is because:

- there are so many different standards that terminal emulators adhere to that it makes it practically impossible to write anything that works reliably

- and you need backwards compatibility which means you can't easily break away and create a new CLI framework designed to progress CLIs into the next century.

The fact that ncurses and other terminal UIs have been so prevalent demonstrates that "visual distraction" is sometimes beneficial in a terminal. So much so that some people's tmux sessions could be mistaken for tiling window managers. But unfortunately the terminal is still ostensibly the same 1960s protocol.
For everyone doing all the hand-wringing about Facebook, doesn't existing media (newspapers, TV, cable, etc) already NOT "fact check" ads run on their networks?
Big chunks of OSX are written in C++ (namely, the IOKit) and it seems to have pretty successfully exposes a UNIX-like interface.
