My setup:

- Server in France (kimsufi). Why? They have a 3-strikes sort-of behavior when it comes to pirating. If a lawyer is contacting them and find a torrent on your server, they send you an email with: "Make sure nobody hacked into your system and change your passwords"

- I installed transmission cli on the server

- domain to use https and a different port to access a web interface to add torrent links

- Add WebDav over HTTPs on the server to access my movies

- I use Infuse Pro on my AppleTV and add the WebDav folder to it

Now I can download movies from my phone on the way home from work, come home and open the Apple TV and stream it directly from my server, without having to download it.
Half baked idea for broadening the U.S. comics market.

There is some familiarity with manga in the U.S. I've seen tankobon format translations in Barnes and Noble and public libraries. But there's not the same association with super heroes for books in that format.

So create new works of English language sequential art, but publish them in tankobon format. You could market them to whatever market segment you like, without the superheroes-for-adolescent-males stereotype. You could connect with the existing manga fans first (many of whom already want to prove "Comic books aren't just for teenage boys!"), then broaden out from there.

Has anyone already tried this?
This is why Apple requires you to fax you CC number and name for additional verification if you live in some countries. I still wait for verification.
Just went searching on the internet for a vim demo video and found this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNAXa0W4OFg

Also, if you have a Mac (or most versions of Linux) you can also access an instant tutorial by typing "vimtutor" at the terminal.
Any experiences with Bjoern's Django compatibility?
The people are much more pragmatic than the project sounds; they are thinking about how much autonomy is even possible, realistically. Maritime laws are seemingly one of the simplest issues out there.
If I tried this at a local Starbucks, I'd be interrupting college girls trying to do their homework. Hmm, maybe it would be a good way to ask them out on a date... oh, until they find out I don't have an entrepenurial brother. Then I'd just look like a creep.
This just makes my brain hurt. The actual cost of the technology involved is significantly less than the selling price.

While brand and marketing adds some value, I fail to see how it adds a 700%+ uptick in price.
I'm not sure what you expect. According to what you've written, the options are:

1. Write thousands of words of text in an HN comment

2. Be accused of failing to mention one of the dozen livestreaming apps?
I am sorry to say this but it seems in case the developer is doing more harm to the "callbacks are good" and node.js crowd than he is helping.

He thinks he is advocating but stuff he is saying is embarrassing and it will become one of those things everyone links to it in ridicule and says "here is what to expect from using this project". Kind of like Rhyan Dalh famous "Node.js has linear speedup over multiple cores for web servers."

The writing style (Oh wait, I know. It's because they're Doing it Wrong) doesn't help it either. That kind of style to be credible has to come from the likes of Linus Torvalds and has to be backed up by serious experience or good solid proof.
I had the opposite feeing so I went back and combed through. Imho it is 12 US crimes vs. 9 non-crimes. Sometimes I had a bit of trouble deciding whether it can be constituted a crime or not. Here's my list of decisions (a = crime, b = non-crime):
a b a a a b a b a b b b a b a a a a b b a
"If Steve were still around..." has been said so many times that it's a cliche. Steve shipped lots of crap [quantifiable crap, even]; I'm sure Apple will continue to ship lots of crap in the future. Doesn't mean they're doomed or even that quality has gone down.
"The Dip", referenced in this article, is something I've had a lot of people recommend to me, yet (seemingly) goes 100% against the "fail fast" mentality also espoused by many others. Any thoughts on how/if these are reconciled?
My experience from a few years ago: Loved it but it only worked when I stuck to the schedule. Work, commute and family made that impossible so I only lasted 2 weeks.

I was talking more in terms of unit value of Bitcoins. I think a lot of people invest in Bitcoins like they invest in stocks. As of today Bitcoin price is $122.10 but it used to be much lower. The more people start using Bitcoins the more valuable it will be, and the early adopters will benefit from it, which incentivizes them to hold onto their Bitcoins instead of letting them go once they have benefited short-term. It's important that the early adopters see the long term value otherwise it will be like a draining bucket.
Where is the mention of his business? I don't have any clue what he is actually trying to build.

If there is no business, this article should be titled "I'm 23 and Fucking Terrified of Hard Work."
I think they're all things that the public should know. Unless it's crucial to national security these should not be hidden from the public. We should know what our employees are doing on our behalf. I think that is what whistleblowing is all about. It doesn't have to be a specific crime, just a revelation of behaviour that was previously being kept secret for unjust reason.
Yes, but if I could replace the replicas and let them refill one at a time, then replace the masters, I could do a rolling conversion.

But replication from MongoDB to TokuDB does not work.
I'm trying, but not succeeding, to imagine a non-fiction situation where a corporation has any business advantage in owning and/or controlling an ICBM. Can you expand on your comment? What would a corporation do with this, other than to perhaps implement same day delivery of packages around the globe?
Somewhat OT, but I've come to think that the rails routing system is one of the weakest parts of the framework. It can be both obscure and precious at times, and I've never found the two-way map maintained for link generation worth the abstraction costs.

Something closer to sinatra, where routes are more explicit, but with a bit more high-level functionality would be easier for me to deal with.
Yes I expect the primary reason for SUV's in the city and among the well to do is safety in an accident. The bigger and higher car wins almost all the time. So now it's an arms race. Maybe smaller cars need a huge air bag under the front bumper.
So... Boeing and Lockheed?
If coal has that effect, then it is a plus for coal. But there are other sources of power that do have that effect: any form of stored energy, nuclear, geothermal, etc... Also note that you can pair energy storage with renewables. It may even spur technological development in these areas.

Also the carbon tax taxes unclean energy. Dirty coal would have to pay that tax.
Because you get a $10,000 electricity bill?
It'd be an honor to collaborate with them :)
You can initiate effective first strikes with submarines, but they provide no counter to MAD. They're not anti-MAD in any sense -- destruction would still be mutual.

And one of the most assured scenarios of destruction is enemy submarines striking back, even if the other legs of nuclear forces are successfully taken out.

Submarines are the hardest to take out, so they are the most pro-MAD.
That's an interesting point actually.

For one, I suspect that ERCOT wouldn't allow a new company with this model access to the grid immediately, at least until this blows over a bit.

But regarding "thousands in debts"; I'm curious how that will be handled. It seems that these are debts to Griddy, but Griddy no longer exists, apparently for non-payment, which implies that ERCOT does not expect to be paid. Do these customers now owe this debt to ERCOT directly?
But on net, people _would_ be better off having taken the savings from Griddy and stuck it in the bank. Consumers aren't losing money overall in the Griddy model -- it's just happening at once.

The other providers can only survive (assuming they do) by having overcharged for years.
This seems to be the source: https://www.puc.texas.gov/51617WinterERCOTOrder.pdf

> ERCOT has informed the Commission that energy prices across the system are clearing at less than $9,000, which is the current system-wide offer cap pursuant to 16 TAC §25.505(g)(6)(B)... The Commission believes this outcome is inconsistent with the fundamental design of the ERCOT market... the market price for the energy needed to serve that load should... be at its highest.

It’s not exactly plain English, but the Public Utilities Commission is pretty clearly telling ERCOT that they should ignore the current clearing rates and raise prices until there’s enough power or they hit the $9,000 ceiling, whichever comes first.

How do you know that your text editors aren't compiled to hide the payload when examining this compiler, thus perpetuating the hidenness?
Good thing phones are embedded into us and can't simply be left at home.

Joking aside, and I suppose privacy concerns aside, this measure is better than nothing and is also less draconian than the physical enforcement by police that was seen in mainland China.
Thanks for the response. By the way, I integrated readability in to my site as an alternative to "print page" option. I have to have ads, I hate the fact that I do, at least I give readers the option to read in a less cluttered way.
This flies in the face of the research Dan Pink has been popularizing about the utility of extrinsic rewards in motivating behaviour.
Comparaison made on municipality size is flawed in general, because the boundaries of a specific jurisdiction depends on political circumstances, not on urban growth. Take San Francisco: it has only 800k inhabitants for 8M in the Bay Area, 10%. Whereas San Antonio TX has 1.4M. Is it bigger? Well, San Antonio metro has only 2.3M. What matters is the size of the metro area, because metro areas are a measure of job markets, not political contingencies.
Wow, I'm not familiar with this film studio, but this is a terrible move on their part. I don't go to the movies much anyway, but I'm gonna try to avoid paying for any of their films, and I urge everyone who cares about an open internet to do the same.
The exemption is to the DMCA's anti-circumvention clause, not to copyright protection itself. Those exemptions allow you to break DRM in certain circumstances -- they don't grant you any extra rights to copy/distribute/perform works you don't have rights to.
IAAL (this is not legal advice), and I think you're correct about Federal preemption.
The only difference between a monster cable and a generic cable is the marketing.
Do you have plans to try to scale nationally? How many doggy daycares exist in the US?

Do you think this type of software would extend into similar markets well? Maybe vets, or actual child daycare?
I am surprised to hear that your placing less importance on technical indicators. I have been going under the assumption that those should be my main focus for input as they can be easily calculated and translated into simple number inputs.

My thought process is that the more indicators i can feed in with some history the higher the possibility that unique patterns are discovered. I originally thought that sentiment and news would be to complex to break down into a simple input for the network. I want to include them but i was going to place allot less emphasis on them.

Are you simply breaking down sentiment as good vs bad by analyzing text or are you doing something more complex?

I am sorry to be asking so many questions, but i have literally just started working on this for less then a week and I find your success very interesting. At this stage i am treating this as a long experiment.
A lawyer could make quite a bundle by taking these lawsuits on commission, ambulance chasing / patent troll style.

After securing power of attorney from actual owner, mail form letters requesting immediate withdrawal of dmca and payment of a "small settlement" for the damages caused by it.

Heck, maybe the EFF could get a bunch of junior lawyers on this, it would likely pay by itself.
I would argue Kindles benefit the consumer in that they're also enjoyable reading experiences. You can carry a library's worth of books in your backpack on a device with a wonderful screen.
Indeed, talented, and fully energetic young people should throw themselves immediately into the startup arena, before they've developed any real skills and particularly life skills, bargaining savvy, etc.

That way the financial system in the form of VCs can extract maximum benefit for minimum expenditure.
Agreed. Without any 'core values' and a 'mission statement' I have to focus on dumb things like working hard and making the customers happy.
Also, the time I would have spent making crap up for my annual performance review, I wasted by learning a new programming language.
Yeah, I really feel stifled by the lack of 5 layers of management and me doing my job.
Does anyone have any examples they could share? (not just screenshots) The tool looks really cool, and I love how it runs out of Firefox, but I'm having trouble seeing what/how it could be used.
Another one I find quite useful is iotop:

Very handy to quickly see what process is causing that disk thrashing, for example.
Good Content - and free!
Excellent, thanks. I will check out those companies that you mention.

As you say I think all bank website desginers must have gone to the same college and been taught by a flawed professer.

I think the biggest challenge for banks is to provide the enormous amounts of information that they hold on us in a clearer way. People get lost at the moment, as soon as banks can deliver information in a more straight forward way the sooner they will convert the traditionalists who insist on doing things at the branch. I am convinced people still feel they have to bank in a branch because the internet solution that banks have provided is just not good enough.
Think about how much transcendent joy occurs every day on this planet. Think about how much beauty there is, how much to see, how much to experience. Every single moment is incredible, a (for lack of a better word) miracle defying the odds that we arose, gained intelligence, and lived long enough to think about it.

It's all a matter of perspective. (and no, I didn't downvote you)
No idea, just reminded myself similar "big news" dated couple of years back and the name of guy leading it ... Ian Frazer and that's how I found that paper
because the use case is very different from an IM, for example a video game.

what will you see if you open it in Element?
Looks like me-bit-byte
But yeah, phonetically they pretty much suck
The chess computer story you’re half remembering sounds a lot like Kasparov playing against deep blue. I can’t find a link right now but somewhere on the internet there is an article where Kasparov describes the match in his own words and its really quite beautiful.
Mmm, so in order to use this I both need to send them the data, and to pay actual money. So they're essentially getting my data for free, and on top of that they get paid each time I want to use the model they've trained with my data.

Either I'm missing something or this business model makes too much sense for them and too little for me.
HxD is pretty good in windows but I have had a few minor issues with it. I’ve been trying to get an image of a floppy disk to a analyze but unfortunately loading it from HxD seems to cut some of the data off. I verified this by transferring some files from the original device via xmodem to a PC and noticed the end of the last file was cut off in the floppy disk image. I’ve tried a couple other hex editors with various permissions issues dumping a disk for some reason. Any idea for something that can dump this disk so I can analyze it in a hex editor?
do you have any ideas?
So glad I met you, :)

> decoder to make better code generation choices

Understand what you are saying, but there are lots of layers between the decoder and code generation and resulting uops. But if we are sending a compressed instruction stream, why not go up a level of abstraction send the IR, MIR, HLIR, s-expression, then s-expression with types, effects. Ok I am just gonna send the latex of the paper. ;)

speaking of round tripping the s-expr syntax

My impression is that most of this stuff is bought by shallow people to show off their wealth to other people. Meanwhile, many others waste a significant portion of their income on them. These gullible people buy overpriced clothes simply to keep up because, through very skilful marketing, this ordinary apparel is held up as something that you should desire or be impressed by.

In the end though, it’s just money that flows from an invested individual’s income to feed a disinterested hedge fund’s balance sheet. It is pretty cringe, and sad on a large scale imo.
I get where you're coming from, but you have to remember how hated Microsoft was 20 year ago, and remember that Zuck is already doing charitable work.
Thats a pretty low bar too set. in a informal context, native speakers will forgive most other grammatical mistakes as well.
Sure, but an abundance of tests wont fix that.
That was truly amazing fluid motion at the end of your video! with a couple of tweaks to hide the looping I can see this being used everywhere.
This is a great document on how the tiles were made: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=19810003644

We included fragments of a flown Shuttle tile in our Fourth Edition collection. The material is crazy difficult to work with. It powders under pressure. You obviously can't use a hot wire to cut it either (ha, ha).
The outermost part dissipates heat quickly to the air which lowers it's temperature (the temperature of the outermost part, that is).

In regular materials, the heat flows quickly from the center, so the temperature of the outer layer cannot drop significantly in such a short amount of time.

But this material conducts heat so poorly that this doesn't happen, so the outer layer stays cool.
You miss the point. If I am some huge player who decides to produce tablets, how does that make me at war with someone else producing computers?
Or are those producing utensils at war with Victorinox?
So who is actively trying to hurt "general computing" devices? And by this I mean not "producing limited computing devices" but active and deliberate actions against general computing.
Or shall we all close our eyes and pretend that many of those general computing devices never saw general computing in their lives? Some are glorified typewriters, some are facebook and email devices, some are game machines.
Where does this tunnel vision that anyone working with something with CPU inside should be interested in general computing?
Same here, I remember how fresh it felt by bringing GC to the masses and providing a more consistent experience across platforms than C or C++ were capable of, with their compiler specific behaviours, extensions and catching up with the ongoing standardization efforts.
You have to give credit to Texas for sticking to their guns with George Strait.
Okay, maybe I'm being a bit harsh - but I did find the sea change in opinion a bit difficult to comprehend.

Some people might _need_ to eat animal derived products to function - but that should still be able to be compatible with a desire to ascribe to vegan ideals. When a person chooses involve politics in dietary choice, pragmatism should still be able to operate. Fundamentalism at any level is a bit wrong.

I don't see why the alternative - of becoming a fully fledged carnivore - was taken when there was an intermediate step.
Linode has a 99.99% uptime guarantee, which amounts to 43 minutes and 12 seconds offline in a 30 day month. While I don't have a Linode in Freemont, their status page appears to indicate, at minimum, 1 hour of downtime. As repayment for the inconvenience, users get the lost time added to their balance.
Ah, nice to hear! So is it possible to get more than one domain at this price? And are renewals going to stay at $5/year for sure? Thanks MT for the special!
They are only vintage because I can't afford new ones
A good trick is to listen to the water boiling. At around 180°F the water starts bubbling and dancing, gets a bit agitated and might make a resonant sound in your kettle. I suggest using a thermometer and getting to know how the water sounds at different temperatures.

Best place to buy tea: http://uptontea.com/ Top notch quality, and they put out a really good paper catalog describing all their hundreds of teas quarterly.
I don't have that type of respect for the cashier at Starbucks, although I don't have "disrespect" for him/her either, if you can put that way.

But come on, I'm friendly to them and that's what counts.

How can a "the customer is always right" mindset work, if the customer says "sir"?

"A cup of cappuccino, sir"

"Yes sir"

"How long will it take, sir?"

"2 minutes, sir"

"Excellent, my good sir. I shall be awaiting my delicious cup of coffee, my liege."

Never heard this :-)
Grass-fed meat is often worse for the environment. See e.g. http://blogs.reuters.com/environment/2010/04/08/grass-fed-be...

In any case, consider an analogy: suppose you wanted to end human slavery. Would supporting "sustainable" slavery end it more quickly, or not supporting any slavery at all?

I realize that slavery is not the moral equivalent of eating meat, but in terms of the effectiveness of boycotts, they are pretty similar. I can't really imagine a way in which the boycott to buy only "sustainably" slave-made goods would hasten the end of slavery more quickly.
For those in the US Den's Tea offers great Japanese teas. http://www.denstea.com
Definitely I agree. But some clients will pay more for proximity such as monitoring or DNS providers. Chicago(350 Cermak) and NY are an example because of the financial trading markets. Clients pay "through the nose" for a colo spot there because every millisecond counts. If XYZ Trading Company sets up in the suburbs of Chicago, that 5milliseconds makes a huge difference.

But you are definitely right that most people don't need that kind of silliness.

I came from North Carolina where Google and Apple saw the lower power/employee costs as a reason to open datacenters. In the western part of the state is a beautiful city called Asheville which was never known as a network hub. But because of the geographic location halfway between Atlanta and DC a company(uberbandwidth.com/netriplex) decided to create a datacenter there. Lower costs...but the only way IN and OUT of their network was a backhaul through Atlanta or through DC. If one of those backhaul lines go down they've basically lost their single selling point.
If you look at this hypothetical case without prejudice, the only difference with your photo appearing on a news site, in someone's post on social media, as a picture on some forum or just being uploaded to image sharing service is for-profit nature of the usage.
I think it probably has something more to do with this: http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2009/02/24/122-moleskine-not...
I imagine that our current immigration policies would be sufficient to prevent this. There are probably a large number of people who would want to become citizens solely for our health care or existing safety net.
I think a lot of people pick it up from reading Starship Troopers. I know I did.
Bureaucrats need jobs, too.
I call bullshit. One BILLION unique users? Just a quick scrub on Google gives a bunch of sources saying that the total number of people on the Internet worldwide is between 1.4 and 2 billion. So AddThis is (or has been) used by up to 50% of ALL Internet users?! I don't think so.
