And in many Asian countries they bow. Maybe that's one reason countries like South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore were able to slow down the spread so quickly.
you can estimate the answer by looking at historical data.

there is more data going back 100 years.
How much of the extremely old mean death age do you think is caused by burdened hospitals turning away certain age groups. If it gets bad enough hospitals here in the US will create rules to turn away people over a certain age.

Those labs paid for by federal money?
Passwordless is great until it's not. You tend to need to be on same device / browser as your email for it to work seamlessly. It also adds mental debt, in that many multiple actions are required to proceed (personally find myself with irrational logout fear thanks to this).

Appreciate it seems like it answers all the questions but I think, in the end, it talks more to the developer than the user.

I say this as a major proponent of smarter 'dumb' auth, an earliesh adopter with passwordless, plus having run it as the primary login mechanism on a site with 25-150 new signups / day for nearly three years.

Looking forward to more widespread adoption/availabilty of webauthn, embedded (consumer) security features, etc.
I'm not talking about cases, I'm talking about deaths.

There could plausibly be 10x more cases than reported.

But it's much harder to under-report deaths. And those are low.
> We always include a backup code in the email you can manually paste in.

It's going to help me with any of that. Can't access backup code if email is closed. Won't prevent bot from stealing the account. Won't help me with sharing the account, I'm not going to give the backup code to the person every time they need to login.

> Do you need to login to things repeatedly? I mean, sure your bank... but what else do you log out of?

Banks. Stuff for which you have several accounts on the same service (I have 11 email accounts, 4 github accounts, 3 HN accounts, 3 reddit accounts). A lot of people have at least 2 fb accounts, one official and one personal, and most of them don't know about browser containers.

> You and I use a password manager... but are they mainstream? My parents sure dont

No, and I expect they will never be. Auth is not a solve problem.

But email links are not the solution. At best, one login option, and a good way to start off.

Password auth should always be offered. It's the most neutral, balanced, resilient, privacy friendly, interoperable stuff we have for now.
I’m with the author: I only carry paper maps on through hikes. Batteries are heavy and peering into a small device gives you no real conception of what Where you are or what’s ahead.
I'm ambivalent about unikernels.

On the one hand, I applaud the effort to simplify the software stack and promote the use of a safe language all the way down.

On the other hand, I wonder if running lots of small OS kernels on a hypervisor is the best way to do this. Might it be better to simply run each application as a process on a conventional OS kernel, perhaps with containers for isolation? This post from Brendan Gregg argues pretty convincingly that virtualization imposes a substantial performance penalty:

http://dtrace.org/blogs/brendan/2013/01/11/virtualization-pe...

I understand that a key premise of the unikernel approach is that the millions of lines of C code in a conventional OS kernel like Linux are a problem. But in any real Xen deployment I'm aware of, Linux is running in dom0 anyway. So why not take Xen out of the picture and run each application as a process in a container on Linux, using raw sockets so you can still implement the TCP/IP stack in OCaml? For deployments on Amazon, I guess the unikernel approach has the advantage that you're running on top of Xen anyway, so you're eliminating a layer. But for running on one's own servers or an ARM-based device like the Cubieboard2, it seems to me that Xen is just complicating things.

I guess one benefit of Mirage's use of the OCaml module system is that we can experiment with multiple deployment approaches and use whichever one works best in practice. So there's nothing stopping me from running a Mirage application on Linux with raw sockets rather than as a Xen unikernel.
More than likely that developer checked it in IE9 after seeing the great front-end design, and does not primarily browse the web in IE9 (what sane person would?)

Edit: he commented below saying it was IE11 with the IE9 emulation enabled.
Yes, the problem is that complex systems are complex "sideways" as well (i.e. in all dimensions). Sorry, but that's the nature of non-linear dynamics. They defy quantitative study.

That's not to say that it isn't interesting or worthwhile to come up with comparative analysis to explain, say, the "European Miracle", but it can never have the same definitiveness as Newton's laws.
Predictions can be sideways as well as forward. If one gives an explanatory account of some phenomenon, the existential claims made as part of that explanation should in general have implications for other parts of the same place and time, so by asking if those implications are plausibly supported by what we know of that place and time is a way of testing the idea that "phenomenon X is explained by Y" while still being in a position where it is impossible to make predictions about the future, or other places and times.
SSR for frontend libraries was the queue for the current cycle to me. The description was "...and then some smart people figured out you could render the code on the server first!" So here we are, rendering UI components with server side languages again. But this time, it's Javascript!

One thing I never saw coming was that frontend technology would eventually take backend developers jobs, and that backend developers would be replaced by a mix of frontend devs and human AWS configurators.
USADA is the definition of a third party is it not? He was banned from ALL sports, not just cycling. So it would be like Twitch banning you from YouTube as well.
>What’s sad is that he had to exit Apple and found a company. Maybe to sell it back to Apple in the future.

I don't understand why this is sad? This is just a negotiating tactic.
Because it can’t actually be predicted or they would do just that.
I would bet as countries start to realize how important their data is, there will be more localized iCloud instances.

Russia recently passed a law that all gadgets sold in Russia would need Russian developed software. I really wonder how that will affect Apple.
That's the title of the story, but the Slate metadata has "Cory Doctorow on Reclaiming Technologies of Oppression" as og:title and twitter:title. The conclusion is that Slate prefers the longer title be shown in links to the story.
How did you read 'hate' into that? Genuinely curious.

As an aside, I recently feel at odds with the language many people are using. The mere word 'hate' seems to have grown weird political connotations, while is suddenly okay to hate 'hate'. Is this not fostering the very emotion you revile, under twisted pretense? I remember 'love thy enemy' to have been the twist of the knife in peaceful protest, not sinking to their level with 'justified hate'. It feels hollow. If we want a change, we need to reach out first. /rant
I'm a strong proponent of decentralised planning of society and subsidised costs of local infrastructure to facilitate car free lifestyles.

Part of the current mess is almost certainly due to the low cost of transportation and society pushing the cost onto future generations, but people literally can't live car free in some areas of the world right now and you need to pony up the dough to fix infrastructure etc. first before people can give up their cars.

Otherwise you exacerbate an ongoing socioeconomic divide between the rich and the poor.

Hence, people overestimate how easy it is for others to live car free.
What would be sad is if he was unable to take the financial risk of leaving Apple. The whole point of capitalism is encouraging experimentation with limited liability companies, that falls apart if you try to experiment inside another company. The magic of our economy is in the connections between companies, inside individual companies it's just boring old dictatorships.
So did you give up all worldly goods to live in a monastery and live on the charity of others or do you work for a company that seeks to make money?

Stephens Media is essentially sharecropping their IP. They get a cut of the profits if Righthaven's lawsuits succeed, whereas if the suits fail it's Righthaven that bears the legal costs.

I disagree - The more people work with something, the more it can be refined. If you read through the Issues page on Github for Backbone, there are 100s of comments, suggestions and bug fixes, all helping to improve the code and make a better framework.

By introducing a too-similar competitor, (in general, not necessarily Spine) you risk fragmenting the above, which leads to many okay projects, not one great projects.
Thanks!

It'd be nice if there was something between obscure mutterings and the compiler internal docs though, doncha think? :-)
I don't understand how you can consider being self-employed and supporting yourself, your family, and two employes for 9 years a failure. If anything I think working for 'the man' for 9 years and having no sense of ownership is more of a failure.
In the case of the article, its not even that, its reblogging. Though I don't see that as any different as the blog explosion 10 years ago.

If you want to look at ruining a generation, look at subcultures wrecked by crack, heroin and AIDS. Tumblr is pretty harmless.
totally agree. I think as a business person you will gain a ton of respect from a potential technical co-founder if you actually took the time to seriously learn how to code yourself.

Even if your code is terrible, it shows a lot about your character.

Vice versa applies too :)
That's exactly what it is.

From what I can tell, Netscape Navigator supported HTTP 1.1 from version 2.0 and up AND Navigator version 4.x ran on Windows 3.1. I wonder if there was a problem getting that version to run on their emulator.
I actually had a similar idea recently but assumed it must have already been part of the protocol. Obviously it wasn't, and truly good ideas are never unique, so kudos to this guy for doing the work and coming up with a functional algorithm.

One question I have is how this would perform in an incredibly congested area like an apartment building. The author only modeled out 2-way conflict; I have no idea how this algorithm would react if placed in a situation with 15 competing Wi-Fi access points.

Overall a good, nerdy read - this is the kind of shit I keep coming to HN for.

This is cool. One more note along the lines of creating interfaces for more languages--it might be useful to create a client/server architecture so an AI application written in any language could interface. Still, this is something I would like to experiment with as a C++ programmer.

ooh boy, trickle down immigration!

Really though they do take jobs. It just depends on where you are in the job world how affected you are. Where I am we end up with a lot of people from India, a lot because some of the contract companies we use are owned by immigrants, now naturalized, or the like. Still they are displacing a good number of natural born. I am all for their immigration, they bring good skills and a great work ethic which is lost on a lot of people born here.

Looking south of the border, the damage here is that low skilled low pay jobs will get filled likely by those who come to work. Whether they displace natural born citizens is another thing, the difference is the later likely qualifies for more assistance programs and have been on them to the point of dependance.

Make no excuse though, the push for integration of the large influx from Mexico and Central America is business oriented. They want these people as they are coming to work jobs many already here turn their noses up at. That some will become dependent on the government makes both parties salivate, that they cause concern to people of both parties doesn't hurt either
In the US, at least, "Achmed" is a commonly-used colloquial name to disparagingly describe an Arab, similar to "Leroy" for a black person. An example: "I wish Achmed over there would climb down from his camel and fetch me a Slurpee". So some might take offense to its use.
I'll probably write up a more substantive post on open source business models at some point. We follow a fairly traditional model with training, consulting, and support being primary offerrings. If you look under products and services at http://10gen.com you will see pricing, etc.

In terms of best-practices, the first hurdle is to get your product used and demonstrating value. To do this you have to listen to your users and help them out to demonstrate that value (which is why the whole team is on our mailing list and IRC channel all the time). Generally when it comes to someone purchasing services from us, they have already tried out the product and may even have it in production. This is vastly different from a lot of closed source software where you end up in a long sales cycle just trying to convince customers to use it.

For databases, the training-consulting-support model works well. For other products, some other model may be more appropriate. We've also talked (both internally and externally) about closed-source addons/tools/features. Additionally there are potential revenue streams from hosted /cloud offerrings.
There doesn't need to be one for it to be racist. pnathan seemed to be saying that either it wasn't racist, or it didn't matter that it was racist, because there was a point.

My is that whether or not that's true is immaterial (and demonstrably false): the person created this fictional Honest Achmed -- a play on the stereotype of Arabs as untrustworthy in business dealings. He further went on to capitalize on a number of other stereotypes about Arabs as he presented his completed app.

If I wrote the same thing, but from the perspective of the fictional Jim I mentioned above, I don't think you would have any question about how racist it was. If I littered my post with a bunch of stereotypes about black Americans, don't you think that would be racist?
That list is OOOLD. Please refrain from posting stuff that's 2 years old.
You can't do the <object> <verb> thing. I agree though, the "death" of Quiksilver for me was when Apple introduced Spotlight in 10.5. 90% of what I used QS for was opening files, folders and apps.
<shameless plug for a job>

I know im a bit late to the game.

I have been looking for a telecommuting job for the past 6 months with no such luck. I am a solid programmer and I get the job done. I hobby code at home and have an awesome work ethic. I have several years experience and have been everything for GIS software to coding directly on the GPU.

I have worked on all three types of mobile devices for my current job, and have a pretty intense background of C#.

If anyone has a job that they would love to fill with a telecommuter. Please look my direction.

> You can't quickly compute 47*36 without being able to reel off "six times seven is forty-two, seven times three is twenty-one, four times six is twenty-four, four times three is twelve", can you?

My mental process for solving your example equation was to reduce it to 50x36-3x36 which is IMHO a much simpler process.

I don't know where I learned that process (probably from my dad), but simplifying the values to easily calculated approximate values and then adjusting that value for more precision seems to make much more sense than what was taught to me in school. It also caused a lot of frustration between myself and my teachers who demanded that all of the micro steps be written out instead of making what seemed to me as logical jumps.

Edit: formatting
Spotlight opens files, does math, and gives definitions. Quicksilver does everything. It's based on an object/action system where you pick an object and do something to/with it.

There are all sorts of actions, from relaunching apps, deleting, emailing, or moving files, running scripts (I use get ip frequently), reading text, etc. It also gives fast access to some non-file things, like address book cards (right arrow to drill in to contact information, which let's you make new emails).

There are addons for a lot of things like bookmarks for various browsers, mouse gesture triggers, Cyberduck bookmarks, etc. It's fantastic if you prefer a keyboard over mousing.
I thought nonlocality was the obvious answer to "no hidden variables" but instead so many prefer to hidden multiverses instead. ;-)

'"legislature" should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between church and State.' Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson had to deal with the settlers of the America being of a mix of religions, Catholic, Puritan, Quaker and others. And also he was aware that declaring one faith official and persecuting the others had caused problems in Europe. This had a lot to do with bringing in the separation of church and state. And with preventing the government prohibiting freedom of religion.

Wait a tick, how does consul fit into the "Unix philosophy" (which is asinine, bullshit, and wrongheaded, in whatever order you please, but set that aside) but Zookeeper doesn't? Your description of running Consul problem-free but being stricken with issues with Zookeeper is foreign to me, but okay, anecdotes, but this is bonkers, man. Consul being a DNS server and a K/V store and a health checker is so not-Unix-philosophy it should hurt you physically to say that.

I mean, Consul is fine for what it does. I've used both, whatever. But if you're going to have something that does a bunch of things, I'd much rather have the one that supports the primitives to do what somebody needs, rather than trying to do it all itself.

I speak as someone "on the spectrum" and the father of a boy "on the spectrum" - it's not a sweeping generalization, it's a matter of how the brain differences affect the "theory of self" in the "autistic mind", to turn a phrase.

Awesome, I have been looking for a service like this for a few weeks. I want to use it to track code coverage and complexity metrics.
Actually we often take leading "Why" out of titles here, so we'll do so above. It's a form of bait, as anyone who's read the first chapter of Cialdini's "Influence" knows. (I think it's the first chapter; the one that quotes a study that turned out to hinge on the word "because".)

But that said, please don't post comments of pure grumpiness. It just makes this a sour place.

Agreed, the solutions are complex and multigenerational, and require a significant change from our traditional governing to get started.
They sit in the background and pop up alerts in your native OS notification center. They can start up automatically when you login. You can't accidentally close them when shutting down a browser.

> The thing that I don’t get from the Western culture is what is the point of parenting?

Childcare in US is particularly shocking to any non-American, but it's a natural result of the rugged sort of capitalism combined with a threadbare social safety net.

> I was shocked to learn that 9 month babies are sent to day-cares.

9 months is actually on the older side, in the US. Daycares frequently enroll infants younger than a month. Maternity leave is ridiculously short in the US (IIRC, 3-weeks is mandated by the law, this includes pre- & post-partum). Some companies have started to go above and beyond, and even dropping the non-birthing parter a bone by giving them a few days :). Additionally, I don't think any person taking maternity leave is entitled to their full salary, and beyond 3 weeks, they are entitled to $0, which combined with at-will employment means you have to be get back to work ASAP. Childbirth itself is a very expensive endeavor - thousands of dollars for a vaginal birth with no complications, and tens of thousands for a cesarean.
