Their site, and therefore they can do anything they want with it, but real name policies are like a bur under my saddle. I would never comment on a site that required me to give my identity beyond the ones I expose by choice (and all the ones I expose without, IP etc).
Well, then you should be as sad as me about the Ubuntu Edge funding failure.
I'm sure that this change will mean that HuffPo's comment section will live up to the high quality established by articles such as "Lady Gaga nude video" and "Amanda Bynes tweets something crazy."
I would expect something between slightly higher levels of radiation in fish (which might sum up if you eat it and might "surprisingly" lead to cancer) and an apocalyptic disaster that affects every creature on earth if TEPCO fucks up anything with the large number of fuel rods, which are still stored at Fukushima.
Please don't do this here. It breaks the site guidelines.

I have tried the iPad version. Its frustrating. It actually drops out of full screen mode if the commercials are in a different resolution to the show. Oh, yeah, commercials. So now where are my XBox, Wii and PS3 versions?
Through one source or other, the system needs to have more bandwidth for processing more papers in a better way then is possible with current system. I am trying to think where does that extra bandwidth come from. As I see, there are 2 sources.

One, as you pointed out from the article, is that existing reviewers put in more time and energy in the system to gain reputation.

Another possibility is that since anyone can come in and start reviewing, people actually on the periphery of the system or outside the system might be able to add more bandwidth. For example, a student in India is no longer limited to review mostly for Indian conferences. He can dig around, find good papers from anywhere and give them more publicity. He can start as a feeder for more established REs and in time gain enough reputation to branch off on his own. I think this may be the major source of extra bandwidth that the system is able to harness.
This scheme would break down as soon as you need to use the password not only through your browser, but also through say SSH, sudo, or Thunderbird. Also, just use a random password + your built-in password manager for the browser with a master password. No yelling into the voids of the internet required.
> with some sort of visual, non-spoofable indication by the browser, such as the titlebar blinking green or some such thing

Then I'd put some secure password box 500 pixels above the top of the page to make the titlebar blink green, and then make the input box the user is typing in be a normal one.

Instead make the text box blink green and I'd fake that with javascript. In fact, anything that shows up on the page and you can fake it with images and javascript. Or flash. Or a canvas tag.

Sure, the people who really know what they're doing could view the page source or confirm through other methods that this is the real password box -- but those guys are already using passwords better than "password123". I'm not saying it's impossible, but you have to realize how difficult it is to get the average user to recognize 'this is a real secure password box' versus 'this is a fake one that looks real.'
There's already solution to phishing, remembering passwords and whatever else. Only three words: client X.509 certificates.

Well, if Google'll fix Chromium to play nice with them.
How about the Glif? http://www.theglif.com/ - They were a Kickstarter project and the actual prototype was made on a 3d printer. The costs to pirate one don't quite make sense yet (I'm pretty certain that even with markup it will be cheaper to buy one from them than print your own currently), but the threat is clearly there.

I also wonder about things like: if you downloaded a file to print your own Glif, but tweaked it for your android phone and made it a different color you're starting to get a transformative work out of the thing.

Maybe the future is mixed atoms and bits (like when you buy a BluRay and it also has a "digital copy" on it for use on your PMP). Maybe when you buy a Glif they'll email you the plan to print your own that you can tweak up.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I can't see how in the world you could possibly know any of what you said. The human brain doesn't (as far as we know) seem to use backpropagation. Everything else is wide, wide open.
use rsync it only uploads the diff (delta-transfer algorithm)

This I am able to do. How can I help?

I've contributed in very small ways previously (getting libdav1d into Handbrake[1], designing the dav1d logo[2]). Would love to be able to offer my time in a domain I'm skilled in.

Dude, never accept a four hour a day commute. Go somewhere else. Take less pay. Go to "flyover" country. Anything but a 4 hour commute.

When you regain 3+ of those hours, your mental atrophy will subside.

Also, if you are (or were) as brilliant as you say, then just go to grad school. You don't really need an undergrad degree!
The article generally is quite useful, but some wordings are a bit strange for a Lisp programmer.

Interpreter: in the Lisp world a Lisp interpreter is an evaluator, which actually uses Lisp source code. Often people think that evaluation must be interpreter based. But that's not necessary. Some evaluators are compiler-based, but the compiler is able to incrementally create executable code - even machine code - for almost any Lisp form - even in-memory.

Dynamic binding. In a Lisp context the ability to select methods from a generic functions based on the runtime classes of the arguments is called Dynamic Dispatch. Dynamic Binding in Lisp is unrelated and is concerned with how values get bound to variables.
Google has basically given up on their image search product. For that matter, their main search product is getting product long in the tooth. It's in the position Microsoft was in during the old days of IE6. Yandex is a good option. Bing is another. I usually prefix my google searches with a domain these days. Instead of merely subtracting a domain, I fix it to a domain I know is good.

Google's IE6 search product needs its corresponding Firefox to give it a kick in the shorts.
I actually wasn’t aware of this. I was wondering why there wasn’t a better alternative, but it seems there are environmentally friendly paints more durable than what is in use in Montreal.

It’s just more expensive.

I don’t really understand how that can be the blocker in a city with strong economic activity, high income taxes, high fuel taxes, and high property taxes (>4% in our downtown core on non-residential properties).
Except: "Bear in mind that the total dollar amount of money flowing into seed deals barely declined".

That is a questionable definition of "popping" a bubble.

The article does go on to admit that it's just selectively illustrating the number of deals, not the amount invested in seed deals, which is actually still the same in aggregate, and then wishy-washily says it's up to you to interpret this yourself etc. But since most people don't read too far past the dramatic chart and the headline, I think it would be fair to say this smacks of click-baity sensationalism.
>An example, when I zoom in to a webpage it takes a second to respond and then it zooms with a jerky motion.

I just sat here trying to reproduce that on any normal web page and couldn't, on my Nexus One. No matter where I go I get perfectly smooth zooming synchronous while I'm pinching, no kind of lag or delay whatsoever. The only place I got anything remotely like lag was by turning Flash on and going to a flash heavy web site. I can't imagine that the Nexus S is worse than the Nexus One.

Are you sure you were really using a Nexus S?
If you look at it from the point of view of charities, they might prefer getting a lump sum donation in big amounts rather than a lot of small contributions. First it is less of a hassle. Second, knowing that they have this certain big amount with them, will help them aim for more ambitious causes and plan better.

And don't worry about salaries in India. I can tell you that most of the people whom Google or similar companies can pay here, are already well paid and have sufficient disposable incomes for contributing to charities if they so wish.
That would have been awesome - the potential to dynamically understand trending topics, see how people are sharing and pushing links, understand personal preferences tied to accounts - so much potential.
I'm not sure why WSJ thought these old arguments deserved attention.

I've never used puppet before, but in an EC2 context, I'm puzzled about why one would want to use on-the-fly configuration instead of fully setting up AMIs to serve specific roles.

At first blush, future-proofing against lower-level AMI changes and maintaining instance role flexibility don't seem like a good tradeoff against increased startup time in most cases.
I use vagrant every day, it's really a must-have for a complex stack.

I've heard of them, let me try them out.
I do agility training with my dog (hoops, ramps, tunnels, etc) because it's fun for both of us. We get to go out and do an activity that strengthens our bond, and for me it's a different kind of mental exertion than I get day-to-day.

One of the most fascinating parts of the sport, to me, is how much of the training is "people training" vs "dog training". At the start, there's some pretty simple dog training, e.g. if you walk over the ramp, you get a treat. That quickly turns into teaching the human how to use their body language to steer the running dog; when the dog ends up in the wrong place in the field it's, I'd say 90% of the time, the human's fault.

Anyway, on to the point of this. Me and my dog are getting to pretty good at this, and we're currently focusing on distance work; basically, me being able to run the show from half-way across the field instead of running right next to her. She has me trained so well to get closer to her. If she feels like I'm too far away, she'll steer towards me instead of going straight, and then my natural reaction is to walk towards her to help push her back on course. Unless I'm very very focused on what I'm doing, I'll end up right beside her again, even if we start 30 or 40ft away.
In which video, I looked at both on that page - http://news.microsoft.com/windows10story/ - and neither had a holo product demo at that time mark.

As fun as that was to read, I would never apply.

The type of person who is attracted to this position will be a very unique person, to say the least.
There is one more major flaw to convertible notes for founders: how do you value market price for vested shares when a cofounder is leaving? See this ASK HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8926028

I'm in deep trouble because of this and wish I'd known better...
I commented on one of your issues about all-day events; it's interesting what a hack supporting them is.
instead of ordering from Amazon or UberEats all the time, why don't you go speak to an owner of a store downtown and say this to them.

It's disgusting the absolute privileged bubble so many on HN live in.
The Real Book, often considered the Real Inaccurate Book.
You are right.

This should be a 25 billion dollar fine.

For a business entity this is the only thing that will motivate them to try harder in the future.

Not to mention “resume driven development”. Recruiters love cloud experience.
Most of those shady databases are data collectors. Sometimes I see those on domain wide reports for names even if the user never actually had that email address. Sometimes it's just a guess.

Ex: You might see joe@mycompany.com in the report for those db, even though Joe Smith only ever had joe.smith@mycompany.com.

And sometimes its legit scum collection. Some of the spam you get is just verify what email addresses work and what don't. If it doesn't bounce, you know you got a valid email address. Works for a lot of businesses (but not if you've got a personal catchall)
1998 was a bit early, but I could easily have imagined it any time after 2000. I'm frankly surprised it has taken this long.

You used the word creepy to describe the wikifeet site, which might lead people to think that you are motivated by prudish reasons.

From a legal consent perspective are you also opposed to google image search for the same reasons, that google did not get consent to redisplay the resulting images? What about pictures of public personas in news articles where consent was not given? Could I prevent my friends from posting unflattering pictures of me? What if I google images of feet to get off on? Maybe consent should apply to audio and written information, so people are not quoted out of context?

The legalities around consent seem to get complicated, and conflict with other legal precedent. Also you might have a hard time convincing other people of the harm in feet pics, and that might be the first thing you need to do to get a law passed against it.
Sleep might not be hibernate. If it's just standby some device (Mouse, ethernet ...) might wake it instantly.
I think this is pretty cool and a great idea. One thing that I ran into within a couple minutes is that there are several entries that don't have enough context. It will just say something like "is there an app?".
In California, at least, students are eligible for subsidized ($20/month) LTE hotspots. Apparently it is provided by Sprint as part of an agreement they made when they leased spectrum that had previously been set aside for educational use. These could and should been made free for low-income families.

Citation needed. If anything, it's the opposite, it scales up very linearly.
Google absolutely needs to fix their trust problem, but it is also completely wrong to compare support between their paid GCP customers vs their mostly free Android app developers.
Fwiw, I recently called Google customer support to fix a billing problem and was pleasantly surprised that I talked to a real human quickly, AND they were able to resolve my problem and issue a refund. So maybe they are improving on that end too.
Dreamweaver and FrontPage both had very nascent/early ideas towards Content Management, they weren't "just" WYSIWYG tools towards the end. Given how much work goes into making static site generators WYSIWYG when building content (such as tools like Netlify CMS), the "ideal" is probably somewhere in the middle.

Had PHP hosting not got so cheap so quickly and subsequently early PHP CMSes become so common, it's possible there was an alternate universe where Dreamweaver or FrontPage continued to evolve into really interesting static site generating Content Management Systems.
Uh, actually, they espouse GOP positions for money. They state that they are libertarians, yes, we know that. That doesn't mean that they don't support a lot of the exact same things that the GOP establishment does.
So toss in an `if` to check whether the /sys/ directories exist!
Sounds like trauma bonding. I'd leave yesterday unless there is a bad market.
What about the Arduino USB connection? I don't know if it sounds interesting enough to you but I suspect they would be open to it.
The problem is that the code looks correct for anyone coming from C, C++, Java, D, Javascript, etc., but produces unexpected results.
enough comments on NAME, hope they got it. I wish they could get someother useful suggestions.
The actual blog post title is:

I don't think the indentation is a big deal. It's just a surface detail that people new to the language tend to bitch about, like all of those parens in Lisp, ; vs . in Erlang, indexing from 1 in Lua, + vs +. in OCaml, etc. Once you're using the language idiomatically, it isn't a big deal. Good semantics beat good syntax any day.
Please make sure you give the example a close read, as it surprises even experienced Go programmers. Both examples look similar to code in the likes of C, C++, Java, and so on, _except_ the semantics gets radically changed depending on one line feed, which is very unlike those languages. I hope this clarifies things.
The problem can also happen on the other end of the wire, on the adapter end.

All of these HN comments are defending shouting "Fire!" falsely in a theater under the guise of it being a slippery slope before all speech is lost. I have lost a lot of respect for these slippery slope arguments because they are easy to make and ignore the obvious problem which is that some speech shouldn't be tolerated... Especially intolerant or harmful speech.
Dude they shot and killed a black kid for holding a toy gun. What the hell are you smoking if you think the only reason the white militia got through was that they were armed? The cops let them in and were taking selfie’s with them FFS
The constant false equivalence here. That some random, unnamed people ought to be held to the same standard as the President of the United States.
No, it is not the same. Signal is a registered 501.3(c) non-profit with a public board and cannot just decide to sell themselves and your metadata at some future point. Signal is also making ongoing improvements to protocols and apps to limit the amount of metadata that must be collected or that can be usefully held.

The Cybertruck started pulling first. I wonder what would happen if the F150 started first, and had the Cybertruck moving before it started to pull itself. I wonder if this is an example where they had the order right...
I think the main distinction is that there's only one HTML document that ever gets loaded during the course of your usage of the app. In other words, you never have to navigate anywhere else.

Or are you making the point that anything that doesn't function this way isn't really a web application?
The way I read it, this new type of messaging will only replace a part of why you use email, the part where you communicate with friends.

The other part will remain unchanged, and email would eventually become much more like snail mail is today -- a formal medium for communicating important notices, like bills or legal actions.

The new Facebook messaging system would sort of merge all of your communications to/from friends over email/IM/SMS into one type of much more informal communication.
What's really nice about web development (especially mobile) these days is we're quickly reaching a threshold where dropping all support for IE is becoming a very real possibility.

Anything Microsoft does to accelerate their own obsolescence should be encouraged.
Good point, but why are they doing it then?
It doesn't help that the rocketship looks a bit like a slice of pizza.
I was thinking this exact thing earlier today. Someone sent me a link to a Youtube video that wanted me to sign in to see risky content. I signed in with my Google account, which apparently wasn't enough, because I had to also have a Youtube account to link it to. I already have a Youtube account so I entered that info, but apparently it was already linked to a different Google account. So I clicked on the 'create Youtube account' link and was sent to an absolutely massive signup form which doubtless required some sort of email confirmation and my mother's maiden name. At that point I just said 'Fuck it, I don't want to see that video that badly' and left.
I've had an @gmail.com account for many years now. At some point, though, I realized that if Google went all Skynet on us, I would lose control of my incoming e-mail account. So, I used Google Apps to create an @maxcantor.net account, and forwarded it to my main gmail account.

This has led to confusion.

Since my @gmail.com account has always been my "primary" account, I use it for Google Talk. I use it on my Android phone. I use it to get into Hacker News. It's my primary OpenID account.

Obviously, this means that 90% of my friends & family send e-mails to both accounts, because (unsurprisingly) no one can remember which one is the "right" one. Of course, the punchline is that neither is "right," because they both end up in the same inbox.

In my darker moments, I have dreamt of phasing out my @gmail.com account entirely, using the @maxcantor.net account for logins, for Google Talk, for OpenID, etc. However, the tenebrous depths of Google's "account" architecture are both mysterious and sinister to me. Will I lose 5 years of e-mail history? Will a non-gmail account lead to unexpected behavior with Google talk or OpenID or any of the other billion places I use my Google account? Will Google Apps go the way of Buzz & Wave the day after I make the transition, forcing me to either put up my own mail servers @maxcantor.net or switch right back to @gmail.com? My heart is filled with terror, comrades. I see the path of simplicity before me, but it is beset on all sides by the bloodletting hellhounds of You Get What You Pay For.
"I feel scared about that, everything you said(later will come audio and video) in a very specific context and frame, like 10 years ago, could be used against you by other people."

It seems you don't have a girlfriend... ;-)

Having dispatched of that softie: IMHO, too much history is a bad thing. Sometimes one _needs_ to forget stuff from the past before one can move on.

A prime example of too much history is the Middle East, more specifically, Israel-Palestine.
This kind of thing actually keeps me from using a lot of Google services. I had accounts on a couple before Google Accounts was around, or at least became mandatory. I was never a Gmail user, so when I was forced to create Google accounts, I'd sometimes use different e-mails having forgotten which I used before. Now I have to go through a login/logout cycle multiple times to find out which Google accounts will log me in to which site.
Hey, awesome proposal. I just voted on the sample questions. They were all good examples IMO.
