The audience for delicious is quite different to the audience that provides the most eyeballs and clicks that power the actual revenue generation at Yahoo.

So pissing off delicious users won't have any serious financial repercussions. And since it seems plainly evident that Yahoo are now hunkering down in pure survival mode with soccer-mom content plays, it's unlikely Yahoo will need the support of early adopters for the rest of it's shortened lifespan.

Delicious users are mostly using the eco-system of tools rather than the website itself, so there's not much to be gained by splattering it with ads. The only time I see the delicious site these days is when there's a link in my inbox from a contact - and that's edge case for the vast majority of delicious users.
The JVM is rather heavy weight and typically slow to start even when you do have enough resources to run it. That rules out edge computing. Graal AOT compilation is more similar but not a general purpose thing currently as it only works with tools and languages optimized for that.

I say this as a Kotlin/Java developer. I know and love the jvm but it's just not a lightweight option suitable for edge computing or serverless computing (it works but the jvm startup overhead + binary size is annoying).
Like it or not, I believe that the "expectation of privacy" argument has been settled in courts. The answer is that if you're in public, you have no expectation of privacy. People have dashcams, cameras pointing out the front of their homes and businesses, and people may be recording random TikTok videos with you in the background.

Police definitely have zero "expectation of privacy" when out on the job and it's a fairly well established legal fact. Additionally, this information was available at the time they decided to become police officers.

IANAL.
I think skip crawling the internet and do just the "personal search engine" thing, and then merge with bing-api or something.

Otherwise, have you really thought how'd you do distributed crawler & storage/cpu/ram/bandwidth for it ?

What will you be using for search-engine ?
It's present in OpenGL ES 1.x, but your point still stands.
I actually submitted a version of this yesterday, but then deleted it, because it didn't seem relevant to Hacker News. Problem is, there are so many models in String Theory, I don't think this negative result will be a significant detriment for stringy researchers. From what I know, string theory is more of a framework than a concrete theory.

From TFA:

Contrary to some reports, this result doesn't mean the death of string theory, only the particular flavor that predicted black holes at these energies...
In some, especially Europpean, countries such thing exist, and it's called tax. Besides paying taxes, there's no additional fees for attending university.

Hate to bash Stanford, but as a current master's student in CS, I've found their financial aid to be horrendous. The only real options are RAships and TAships. I don't consider these to be "aid packages" because they entail a tremendous amount of work. My current employer matched what was going to be offered by the TAship with less hours overall.

EDIT: Just for kicks, here are some emails here that demonstrate the reality of Stanford financial aid at the master's level.

Last quarter:

Nov. 17th: Hold on registration due to account balance...
Nov. 18th: This is a friendly reminder that you have unpaid charges on your account...

This quarter:

Feb. 16th: Your Stanford student account has been placed on hold* due to an outstanding balance...
Feb. 17th: This is a friendly reminder that you have unpaid charges on your account...
Mar. 18th: Student Account Notice...
Today: We are sorry to inform you that you are not currently eligible to participate in the StanfordCardPlan...due to financial hold.
[PAYS $5,000 of tuition]

This cycle has gone on for the past year now. For some context, I take two classes per quarter and live on-campus (on-campus housing is the cheapest you can get in Palo Alto). My total tuition + housing is $15,562 per quarter.
I built my freelancing career on "stealing" software engineering jobs. Does that count as working class poor black unskilled too?

The thing is, immigrants are "taking" all jobs. Not just the low level ones. I even know a bunch of people who immigrated to the US to steal the coveted job of "startup founder" and "CEO". Theoretically speaking, one more funded immigrant means one less funded true-blooded american. Whatever that might be since the US is a nation of immigrants anyway.
A lot of if not most famous comedians tour all over the world. The country of one's origin doesn't seem to matter much as long as you speak a language your audience understands.

I remember seeing Eddie Izzard in Slovenia. The fact that he's from the UK, not from Slovenia, did not seem to detract one bit from his famous Darth Vader joke.

Russel Crowe is also a great example of a comedian that's pretty well known in the US, but who is in fact from the UK.

The point of rails is that when there is something "you could always do" you find a way never to do it.
You can't start at the transistor level. You'd have to learn about circuit theory first. Besides, the math involved with transistors (even in large-signal analysis) is too disconnected from code to be starting there.

It's like saying, "To learn to be a manager, start at the neural level." It's the emergent behaviour that you're really interested in.
Not in my mind.

Doing the right thing is a solid way to run your life.

As I believe you know, single-purpose accounts are not allowed on HN and certainly not for political/national flamewar. I've banned this account.

I understand the frustrations of trying to represent a minority view in a large internet forum. But you can't do it this way. It breaks the site guidelines and it only feeds the cheap and lazy fantasies ("bots, spies, and astroturfers") that internet users indulge in when they see things they don't like on divisive topics.

Is the Arduino fast enough to do similar?
I totally agree with what he's saying. At the beginning of this year, I weighed 236 pounds (6'1") and felt terrible about how I'd let my body get so out of shape. So, I made a commitment (mostly with myself, but let everyone else know) that I wouldn't eat out at restaurants (one of my favorite things to do - I'm a big foodie) until I got under 200 lbs. That was the only commitment - all of the details, as in what to eat, how to work out, etc. I figured I'd optimize as time went on because I wanted to go out to eat again.

It's been 4 months and I'm at 203 now - so I've lost about 2 pounds a week (while gaining a bunch of muscle too), and am closing in on my (initial...) goal of 200 lbs. Going to have a bit of a celebration, and then set another one for 180 and some type of cardiovascular measurement / achievement. This has been one of the best things I've done in my life so far.
Does the builder require a HTML5 browser or does it output HTML/CSS that requires a HTML5 browser? I'm guessing the former, but that wasn't clear to me from the homepage and I'm not sure you want more text there to describe/confuse the user... Actually, I might even leave that off. Your number one goal is to get them to click the button. The more committed they are, the more they'll stick with it and maybe download chrome just to use your product.
Usernames can be very valuable though. If it's a story about Delicious, I'd like to see joshu's comments. If it's about Google search, I'll be looking for Matt Cuts.

I do like the first idea though. It would be a loose indicator of quality without giving too much away.
Its so pleasant to find such resources spreading throughout the community. Perl is one language which could've died easily given its undeserved write-only reputation, but its thriving and making some very cool new stuff while steadily negating the argument of being line-noise (Dancer comes to mind as an excellent project to both read and use).

While Modern Perl and Perl Best Practices seem to be now the defacto texts to follow in this field, I highly suggest to also supplement your learning of good Perl by reading Perl Medic by Peter Scott. While its main purpose is how to maintain a legacy codebase, its an absolute gem when it comes to what type of Perl code you should be churning out.
I don't see how transparently replicated storage could be implemented without sharing something.

China is a country that has 1.35B people in it. I guarantee you that 99.9% of those people had nothing to do with this attack. Can we stop using "China" and be more specific? It feels like it's blaming innocent people and possibly an entire innocent country.

Chinese attackers? The Chinese government? People outside China who hacked Chinese internet infrastructure? At this point can we even be certain who specifically is to blame?
I completely understand where you're coming from. I've had a coworker like that before and it can be a real downer to be around someone who just seems like nothing is ever quite good enough.

I guess I was trying to give the person the benefit of the doubt and not assume that he's like that on the job. Maybe he is. But he also might just be picky about where he works but great once he's made a decision. I guess I don't see the point of worrying about which way it is because it doesn't matter -- his point is only to list red flags about companies that he's built from experience, and I see value in sharing that with others.
In regards to student loans, here is a lesson from J.P. Getty: "If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem."

Well they aren't the equivalent in term of revenues but Twitter, Facebook and Youtube (also banned in China after having been allowed at the beginning) are all as well known as Google to the average user...

Apart from that, Google's revenue doesn't give them any leverage on the Chinese government, mostly because they wouldn't ever back down on censoring as it would mean losing face...
I agree that renting is incredibly popular, but I worry about Chegg's success. I see more and more students (I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Science) just "obtain" a PDF of the book and skip buying new/used or trying a rental service. The ones who still want dead tree buy copies from India for significantly less than the rental price, with the only difference some text on the cover.
Yeah I don't know enough myself. I wonder if you could use drag change on one and rpm change on the other, maybe balance out in terms of lift.

But yeah maybe those pointy things are just weights/for aerodynamics.
I'm not sure long timelines are a requirement. Finding product-market fit seems the aim and having components that facilitate quickly iterating makes sense--especially if the designers and developers can independently iterate in parallel (which is incidentally easily achieved with the right experience and management--and frankly the prior expertise is the time specific benefit). Startups as much or more than any group fail so I don't think anyone has found a formula otherwise the failure rate wouldn't be as high. If the staff can take the design system and leverage it for the next job that doesn't seem as poorly considered as many startup's direction. They did after all get hired to design something so if that system takes less and less time and becomes increasingly effective it might become their own automated side thing.
I had thought that maybe this type of a joke plays on the fact that russian allows for flexibility in the sentence structure, which if you were to translate word for word, would yield the joke.

I'd also like a citation for this. If anything, doctors emigrate from (third world) countries without socialised medicine to CANZUK nations, Germany etc.

Also anecdata, but I have family that are dual Australian-US citizens living in the US, with top of the line private healthcare over there. When my great aunt required dialysis, they came back to Australia because the free system was better than what was on offer in the States.

Apparently they'd pack patients over there into these rooms with vast arrays of machines, literally over a dozen to a room, and then bill the insurance company for thousands.
If new CPU makers are expected to update all existing compilers, wouldn't the counterpoint be that new compiler writers are expected to support all existing CPUs?
I am a lowly JS dev so forgive my ignorance but what exactly would it be parsed to? Assembly doesn’t have a concept of objects/hash tables, does it?
Sadly it’s internal.

I’ve found the xarray docs to be fairly comprehensive, and GitHub issues/stackoverflow fill the gaps.
Very interesting. It would have been really cool if you could drag&drop the "globe" around in realtime (i.e. shift things so Australia was at the center, or Canada, or wherever.
That's smaller than I remembered. Still, over 5% of your space is wasted on it after installing XCode on a 128GB.
Absolutely not.

You don’t expect a programmer to work in the software industry part time and then work somewhere totally different. Human beings improve their skills in fields with more practice and experience. Politics is a career: there are people who are good at it and we should most certainly expect them to work on it full time. It’s not like there’s any shortage of problems to solve.
Down. I'm actually working on this problem as of now :)
> AFAIK you cannot be sent to prison for not paying property taxes in the USA.

However, you can lose your property if you don't pay property taxes. (If you're late, the interest can be significant AND it gets treated like property tax for the purpose of "lose your property".)

Moreover, the "lose your property" process pretty much guarantees that you'll lose much of the equity that you had in said property.
I assume you’ve seen John Carmack’s square root hack? What a beaut
No offence but discussing the most recent/interesting paper you have read shouldn't be a tricky question.
How bad is the barrier to entry though on the software side really? It's my understanding that Micros/Aloha (Radiant Systems) own 50-80% of the restaurant industry. If you hit that percentage with just two integrations it's really not that bad right?
A self confessed "crackpot theory" but I wonder if his hunch connects in with the, I believe, demonstrated findings that sleep deprivation can temporarily enhance creativity and reduce depression in some subjects.

(I've seen quite a few items on this over the years but for the sake of actually having a citation for once, here's the first thing I Googled ;-) http://www.medhelp.org/user_journals/show/49769/How-Lack-of-... )
It also doesn't hurt that every user's repositories are "backed up" to localhost.

Sounds like the biggest impact was on non-github-users trying to read source or documentation on other people's projects moreso than actual users.
Sure, but of all the arguments for native-apps, seamless integration with camera taking functionality is a worthy one.

To build something that integrates with the camera requires platform-specific solution (says a disgruntled but understanding Android user who can't use Path yet either)
Ad Hoc is a real destination. Most places aren't owned by Keller. OPEN controls the segment a level or two down from that. It's a reasonably popular discovery mechanism for the $25 entree world. http://www.quantcast.com/opentable.com

Lots of people hit it first.
You can get a nice TLD for a reasonable price.

And engineers are a heck of a lot more expensive than a catchy TLD.
I think it can be simpler than that. It's just about how products are made for China. Honeywell has an amazing success story in China, and I got to hear their top Asia executive this year at the APCAC 2010 Conference in Beijing, organized by the China chapter of the American Chamber of Commerce. He noted that China proved that Honeywell couldn't just waltz in with their products, localize a bit, and succeed. When they tried that approach, they got decimated by numerous copycats because Honeywell products were too expensive and too feature-rich for what China needed. He said Honeywell's Chinese copycat competitors often said, "Honeywell created the market and the demand, but we had to provide the supply."

So Honeywell changed tactics and set up R&D centres in China to deeply understand why Chinese companies were buying imitation products instead of Honeywell products, and then create products that were better suited for the Chinese market. They got a lot more intimate knowledge of the market and for the first time were making major global product design decisions outside of the USA. Then with their new R&D centres, they were able to make better products at an acceptable price point to the Chinese. They dominated. Today, only a few of those copycat competitors remain and are considered a real threat by Honeywell, whereas in the past, there were almost a hundred of them.

The approach was so successful, it became Honeywell's blueprint for how they want to enter all emerging markets from now on. His main point is that you can't expect an emerging market to lap up western products just because they're western. You need a hardcore local presence doing hardcore local product development, because the market needs will often be unique. Fascinating story. He's writing a book about everything he learned, and I'm definitely buying it when it gets released. I'd put the guy's name down, but I can't remember his name off-hand; have it at home in an APCAC 2010 program somewhere.

No doubt local presence helps with guanxi and all that, but I do bet you that as the Chinese economy and market gets more and more sophisticated, guanxi will matter less and less compared to product and service quality.
That is interesting indeed. Here's a couple of articles on what got him in there: http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/09/ex-marine-gets-16... and http://www.leatherneck.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35215

I'd have posted it on the site, but unfortunately it doesn't allow anonymous comments or easy sign up (have to come up with a email address and a password and then validate it, bah, I prefer the reddit/HN username+password only design anything beyond that is too much bother).
It cuts both ways - when 5GHz was new, there were lots of client devices that didn't support the DFS channels at all (even if as stations they don't need to do DFS).

So still today AP vendors are cautious to use them because of the potential for support calls from people with older mobile devices that "don't show the AP at all".
My bet is understanding the fundamental principles. Like building an airbus plane or starship requires fundamental understanding of aerodynamic principles, chemistry, materials and physics.

DNNs will definitely not get us there in their current form.
Not personal experience, but I've been listening to Teaching Python podcast [0]

They talk about setting up the environment, making it exciting for the kids to come and play, creating expectations, letting kids figure out instead of always answering every question, etc.

The short time does not matter that much, really. The biggest problems are IRROPS and what happens then. Here managing expectations, I feel, matters most.

My biggest beef with European companies were some of them insisting on not allowing two bags onboard even for money. By now this has simply disappeared and everyone allows a large and a small bag as they should. I think Transavia might have been the last.
I'm less interested in "can" than "do". The 2008 financial crisis, for example. Anthony Mozillo, just to pick one representative miscreant, was one of the most severely treated. His penalty? To pay back a portion of his gains.
The thing about lesser known but cool places is that part of what makes them cool is the lack of overtourism. Then by visiting you are potentially becoming part of the problem. Anyways, I'd like to visit Svalbard at some point. Sounds like a slightly surreal but beautiful place to visit

I have some ~50 TB total in a NAS, all WD drives. I bought some 3 & 4 TB WD Red drives around 2014, and they have all been going 24/7 with absolutely no problems at all.

I recently needed to expand (to the point I am at now) and bought & shucked 14 TB WDs, so I'm curious to see whether there will be any long term difference in terms of reliability between the "official" red drives and the shucked whitelabel drives.
Reminds me of the guy who used to own a video rental place and would fire his employees before they had worked there long enough to accrue benefits.
I came here to say this too ^.

I remember hearing research about these in 2012. I went to school right next to the Air Force Research Laboratory which controls a $2B+ budget, and there were research projects around biomimicry, etc. As your link shows, miniature drones that look like birds and mimic actual bird movements definitely exist.

IIRC, there has been similar research devoted to small burrowing ground animals as well.

How prevalent these are in the wild, and where and what they are used for is a whole other topic, but their existence is crystal clear. I wonder how many people outside of engineering fields actually know about this vs think it is some sort of science fiction.
I suppose it depends a lot on how much the organisation values creativity and the passion involved in making features like that. I’ve tried it several times and a lot of the time I or my team that worked on it has been met with apathy and “what’s the point of that” a lot.
I've installed a few extensions directly from git. Certainly another barrier, but not the worst. Can also consider that something like FB Purity hasn't been taken down.
I had such jobs for four years. Because of low-pay (low-pay due to low-skill), because of odd-schedules, there is no way to get out, without some external help. Basically, people keep these shitty jobs as they need to pay rent, and rent needs that job.

In 2001, I was making $8 per hr in Cali, worked there for 1.5 years, jumped to another sh!tty job that paid $12 per hr in 2003, stayed there for 3.5 years. Then a friend I met online offered a way out: a guarantee job with some training.

Yes, when you work in sh1tty jobs, even $2 per hr more means a lot.
