He made it look like a media badge but the actual media took very high resolution photos of him where you could fairly easily read it

It's some kind of wild foolishness here. The guy participated in what's likely legally somewhere in the neighborhood of insurrection and then he stood there as international media was snapping photos and he didn't think to hide his giant nametag...

I'm sure most who ended up inside were just "following the crowd" and didn't actually plan to be there or murder anyone so it's probably not an "insurrection" in how I would personally define it, (as in, some planned execution of a coordinated intent to seize control of the government), but yeah, probably not the legal waters anyone wants to be swimming in.

In the history books, usually a failed coup is followed by either lining the plotters up against the wall without trial and shooting them or a public execution. It's no good

If I was there I'd be assuming that there'd be a whole slew of undisclosed trackers everywhere in that building - RFID readers picking up my credit cards, BTLE and WIFI sniffers picking up my phone, a cell phone interceptor recording my IMEI, facial detection and tracking, etc ... simply dripping in spy devices. I also wouldn't be surprised if they had some special artillery room with military grade weapons. It seems horrendously dumb to enter that building following a mob.

There's a fair bit of evidence to support the hypothesis that these weren't the brightest people.
The HDD market will it disappear for a very long time - decades away. Remarkably, with energy assist technologies, write density improvements will actually accelerate over the coming decade.

I respect anyone who asks for data, actually. I just respect them more if they ask for data from everybody, not just me.

(Also, it's nice if what they ask for can be answered with unequivocal objective data, which I'm sure you'll agree isn't the case with cscurmudgeon's request.)
Will be interesting to see this project down the line. Erlang is a great platform to scale up scientific data analysis. This need is only growing because of the LSST and other big data generating tools

I've been using the Google DNS server for a while now - so Github worked just fine for me. However, gists went down for a couple of days.

Gists, pastebin and imgur are still down for me every once in a while. Refreshing it ~4-5 times seems to make it work. This seems to suggest there's something more than just DNS at play here.
Not sure why you're getting downvotes. Even as someone who develops with Cocoa, the chocolately drink was my first thought too.
It is somewhat telling how certain people on HN all of the sudden start defending Moore...

Not by cracking Enigma?

No, not by cracking Enigma.

Enigma didn't result in 750,000 casualties and 900 Aircraft losses. Stalingrad did.

Enigma didn't result in the loss of the Sixth Army. Stalingrad did.

Enigma didn't change the scenario from Germany controlling all of Europe and its resources to playing defense from two sides. Stalingrad did.

For all the bravery and blood shed by the red army, their winter is the thing that changed the outcome of the battle. The winter forced a halt in the German advance, allowed the Russians to regroup and was the number one casualty producer
for the nazi's.

I don't undervalue the contribution code breaking made to that war, but there was only one turning point, and it came , very clearly, in Russia.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
This should almost be one of his points. (I agree with his enumerated points.)
Figuring out what you want from blogging or writing or anything really is half
the battle.

That's a great point. Half (or more) of the blog posts I write are actually more of me "thinking out loud" than anything. So they're full of stuff that you would normally look at and say "well that's rubbish." Well, it is rubbish if the goal is well-written prose designed to convey a message with some particular aesthetic sense. But if the goal is "give me an avenue to think through this problem, while potentially communicating something of value to somebody thinking about the same things, and maybe elicit a comment that helps my thinking" then what I write is (more or less) adequate.
it all comes down to cost benefit analysis most of the time.
Ed, do you feel this same principle applies to all business software, not just enterprise software (ie- large companies)?
In other countries they clean and refill beer bottles. When you get a Corona in Mexico you can tell the same bottle has been used many times before. I guess we Americans are just too good to be drinking out of a beer bottle that has been used before?

I always got jobs through tips from friends, I don't like recruiters and such to be honest.

I always feel they don't care for my jobhappyness, while friends won't advice a bad job (or at least not on purpose).
Ha, I've renamed my degree in computer information systems to a degree in: How Not To Build Software.
Every company is a risk, there's no guarantee of anything happening.

Like it or not, when a team of people knows exactly what their multinational company would find valuable, and observes that the company isn't choosing to build that thing itself (often for internal political reasons the insiders are privy to), it's an extremely viable strategy to leave, build the thing yourself, and sell it back to the company 2-3 years later, and make yourself a big chunk of change in the process.

In fact, I'd say it's a much more guaranteed route to success than betting on an IPO. Because unless there's a drastic change in the political winds at the company, as long as you can execute on the product development, it's a reasonably sure bet.
Disclaimer: I work for Amazon but not for Go.

Not sure about data on time saved, but I average 2-5 minutes on each trip to the Go store in Seattle.

As for removing retail jobs, Amazon does hire a ton of people for every store to restock, answer questions, prepare deli foods, etc. So the jobs are likely moving to different parts of the store.

Also, I’m not sure what the official goals of Go are, but I always thought it was to remove friction during checkout. Not to save costs on cashier jobs.
FYI Telegram uses dubious encryption and lies about their business (for ex calling themselves a nonprofit when they aren't) and is run by a Russian oligarch who started spending on democracy-related causes after a falling out with Putin. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15281788 for example.

WhatsApp's encryption protocol (Axolotl) comes from the open source secure messaging app Signal. If you can't get people to use Signal, WhatsApp is at least much better than Telegram or Facebook messenger.
You can change your DoH resolver, so you could setup a raspberry pi as a DoH server theoretically, and still keep the benefits of a PiHole.
Mozilla is making CloudFlare the default but they aren't forcing it, you can use another server.
Conductors not enforcing laws is mostly a manner of safety and liability. Conductors are not trained police officers, so them trying to enforce laws will probably end up poorly for them, most likely severely injured or killed. And then Caltrain would have to deal with an injured/dead employee and also whatever the perpetrator was doing in the first place.

Requiring police training for a conductor position would probably just make the job impossible to hire for.
Maybe it wouldn't be shut down by police unions but what about lawmakers and politicians? So you believe that an app known to be enabling and protecting protests on the level of what's happening in Hong Kong, with regular destruction of property, molotovs, knives to police, etc. would be allowed to stay on the app store? Hong Kong protests seem like a lot more activity than "petitioning the government", closer to revolution i think. I'm not sure even twitter would stay up. I feel like it would take lots of lawyers on your side. Maybe, I guess i'm not convinced yet.
As Warren Buffet said, “the world can stay irrational much longer than you can stay solvent”. This is the world we live in.
My theory is that this is due to the natural series of harmonics — sound tells you a ton about any physical object that emits it — so any oranism that lives in a sound transmitting medium profits from interpreting it and dividing it into different emotional responses. This is why a deep bass hit can feel dangerous, or exciting while a scraping metal sound can feel plainly wrong, because there is no harmony at all and this isn’t how anything is meant to sound at all.

So depending on what is dangerous or useful to a species it should develop different preferences.
I think the Wall Street Journal (because of NewsCorp/Fox/Murdoch) would not give space to a pro-ObamaCare message on its article.

It makes sense for larger organizations where you might not be able to interact with the person who drew the diagram. A formalized diagram is less ambiguous than a more informal one.
Usually when people announce a product and give you little else but a future feature list, I'm sceptical.

Not with Zed, though.
I'm having trouble parsing the question.

When you say "investors", do you mean "potential investors we are currently courting", or "shareholders"?

If you mean "shareholders", the answer is "no". If they have a seat on the Board, then they are entitled to board-level information, but this wouldn't generally involve unfiltered access to your task list.

If you mean "potential investors", then the next question is: "as a one-time thing, or on an ongoing basis?" If you mean "on an ongoing basis", the answer is "no"-- there's no reason to give someone on the outside this kind of information regularly. If, however, you mean "as a one-time thing", then the answer could be "yes", as it might be a good way to give the investors a better view of what you are trying to achieve, and where you are in the process.
That Wikipedia graphic looks a lot better than the Spiegel one. Well, maybe we're complaining on a high level. That doesn't change anything about the ridiculous stops mentioned in the article.
Very cool! What kind of revenues are you seeing?

Wasn’t the ability to run Windows apps one of the reasons OS/2 failed? If you had to support both you just wrote a windows app.
This seems to be the opposite. You only see it when transferring titanic amounts of data over a pristine connection. If your network had congestion you wouldn't trigger this bug.

But this also explains a bit why rsync is "hard on networks". Most bulk data transfers end up with breaks in the data that give more breathing room to other protocols. Not rsync, it tries as hard as it can to keep the pipe full 100% of the time, making it hard for other TCP slow starters to get a foothold.
Maybe people here are annoyed at google (and other big tech companies) for their recent (and not so recent) actions, and just don't care about stuff like this? Imagine if any other group of people, who continually screw other people over and have enough money to get away with it, came together and made something like this. Imagine they continued to not address any of the things people are upset at them for not addressing, and instead just said, "but look, we did an art."

I can only speak for myself, but I strongly believe I'm not alone in my refusal to look past google's bad actions because they made something neat. I'd much rather they start providing real customer support for their products and stop trying to ruin the open internet.

Can you explain what you mean by this? I have heard people deny there is a liberal bias in these things, and I have heard people say that these things indeed have a liberal bias, but only because "reality tends to have a liberal bias". But I have never heard anyone actually claim it's biased the other way. I know it's off topic, but I am just so curious. It feels like that Slate Star Codex piece about people subjected to the same things coming to exact opposite conclusions, with each person being totally clueless about how the other person could disagree. (I cannot remember what he called it.)
Oh well. The could've (should've?) used the layout of _bstr_t instead.
I was turned down for a job I was fully qualified for due to not having enough contacts on linked in.

The hiring manager said he wanted a candidate with greater linked presence.

Actual scope of the job was fully orthogonal to linked in
Nope, nope nope
> I really wish it worked that way; but agriculture still has a number of scarce resources (namely land and water) that will require the adoption of productivity-increasing tools to boost the productivity of a given plot of land or to increase efficiency of water use.

What you say is not incompatible with my assertion. Labor is a productivity-increasing tool. If you weed and prune your yield goes up. If you water (but not too much) yield goes up. If you remove pests, yield goes up. Etc. Those are all labor-intensive, so if it's cheaper to use a machine or chemical to do it, you do. And in fact robots are likely to be able to individually water plants more efficiently than either a human or a standard irrigation system. Which people will do if it is cheaper than current irrigation (flood, or drip primarily today, depending on crop and conditions).

Sure, I believe fertilizers will still be needed and some other chemicals as well. But many of these pesticides and herbicides have "unfortunate" side effects (e.g. destruction of the rhizome) which also reduce productivity so avoiding them has a double benefit.

And note that there is some evidence that artificial fertilization and overwatering may be reducing the nutritional value of grasses (think of it as "the same number of nutrients divided by a larger amount of plant matter". The mechanism, if real, is more complex, but that's an analogy).

‡ I don't mean productivity in the macroeconomic definition of "economic output per labor hour" but in the sense you used it: "economic output per unit area"
I think this type of discussion is much better suited for personal environments. Strike this discussion up at the next HN Meetup in your area, or with your co-workers when you go out for drinks after work. Anonymous discussion of such topics on a news collection website will neither change minds nor produce any constructive debate.
Many JSON parsers has flags to enable comment parsing (and someone went ahead and made a "standard" called JWCC that seems to be more or less what these parsers accept)

I think that is a good tradeoff, JSON being strict for data interop with the possibility of enabling comments for those cases where people use it for configuration (and specifying it as JWCC)
Oh wow!!!!!!!
Bitcoin has no inherent value, it is a string of characters.

At least with gold, you can hire artists to create amazing interior design works of art.

The outer electrons in the gold atom are moving at relativistic speeds, and you have to account for this to predict its chemical qualities; namely, its unique ability to resist oxidation at room temperature (copper turns green).

BTC Will work as a store of value so long as there are a stream of other people who also believe it is a store of value.

If everyone tries to exit on the same week or month the value goes to zero.

Large banking institutes who purchased billions of dollars in bitcoin will be incentivized to simply hold, or else they would have to admit to their shareholders they paid billions of dollars for a string of characters.

One event that would be a ‘black swan’ for bitcoin would be a North Korean hack on coinbase. If you disrupt trust in a mainstream bitcoin bank, people would flee.
This is also a problem with Hacker News imo, it's just a lot less obvious. Most HN comments are not worth their weight because the system rewards power posters who know how to post over people who are concise, successful and busy.

I'd argue upvote systems in general dominate the world of tech discussion to the degree that some of these reddit mechanisms end up driving aspects of the industry.
I agree - Reddit is a broad enough userbase that any one characterisation is incomplete. If you choose your communities, Reddit is still an excellent place.
When you say that Satoshi predicted that Bitcoin would be run by large datacenters, are you referring to the mining? Or the nodes? Anyways, I'd like to see this actual post you're referencing (look at https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/). I've read a lot of his posts and never seen this mentioned. It also seems very anti-Bitcoin.

I'm not saying that every home user needs to run a full node though.
Is that also how you’d say it? If verbally asked what tomorrow is would you say “twenty seven February” or “twenty seventh February” or “twenty seventh of February”? Americans normally would say “February twenty seventh”.
Yup I also use M1 Finance. I have my main portfolio that contains multiple sub portfolios. Works great, but the only thing I can’t do there is share it with my friends. I guess that’s the only novel part of Enombic? Although I used Motif Investing in the past to share my portfolio with friends, but they didn’t have free trading.
> Apple will confidently sell you a $5000 desktop machine with just their trackpad, because it is that good.

I mean... Apple will also "confidently" sell you four little castor wheels for 700 quid[0]. I'm not sure we should view their eagerness to take money off you as a sign of how great they are.

Ixquick.com is another search engine which keeps no record of ip addresses and uses ssl. It also serves as a proxy so that you can view webpages through ixquick by clicking on a "proxy" link under each search result.
Availability is a security concern. Not as important as confidentiality and integrity, perhaps, but still within the security remit.

Well with SpaceX I was thinking more of the WhatsApp comparison. WhatsApp sold for $19 billion.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are asking.
Generally, I like to think about bounce rate as a measure of quality.

If your pages contain good quality content and your traffic is coming from targeted (good quality) sources, your bounce rates will decrease. On average if you increase the content and quality traffic of your website, the bounce rates will naturally decrease.

For this reason, I've often thought that Google should rename Bounce Rate to something a little less erroneous involving the word "quality".
Why should it matter what the people want or need? There is power to be had and campaign-contributions to be made.
It's similar to development and development management. They require different skills - being a good developer doesn't mean you'll be a good development manager and vice versa.

Similarly being a journalist (which is about research and writing) is very different to being an editor (which is about organisation and the commercial side of things).

That said, her level of knowledge seems insufficient for either role. The basics of copyright law would seem to be a pre-requisite for anything involving writing these days.
That's all well and good, but meaningless. Who cares? A few other people that you do. My service is useless for people without an internet connection.

So, instead of just trying to point out problems, maybe you could point out a solution? As cool as dropbox is, it doesn't come close to solving the same problems.

I don't know. I think I'd take your post more seriously if it was something more than complaining and actually contributed some thought to the conversation.
As a designer and a newcomer to the bay and valley I find this thread incredibly refreshing. I came to the bay to do exactly the kind of design described here: larger picture problem solving, going beyond what something looks like to connect aesthetics and communications more meaningfully with core functionality and belief.

But so far I've found that virtually no part of process of starting and running a company currently allows for this ki d of design thinking. There is only ever a design budget for what amounts to a fresh coat of paint, way after all the meaningful design decisions have been made.

How can design become a more meaningful part of the process?
Really like the game, have you considered doing a write up on how you developed it? I think there is a lot of people out there that would be interested in developing a game, especially with this level of polish.
Actually QWERTY was created to slow typists down. Back in ye olde days, when typewriters were still around, there was the problem where people who typed to fast would jam the typewriters. Thus, QWERTY was invented to slow people down so the typewriters wouldn't jam. Then, when computers came along, everybody knew QWERTY, so they continued using it.
There is no single code or project that I could name. Not because there are no open source codes or projects that weren't worth reading, because there are thousands of them. I couldn't name any, because people are different, and what one finds good and worthy code, the other finds rubbish - thus, there can be no single project that would make every reader happy.

On the other hand, if you look at the question in a different way, you could say that the code (be it open source or not) every programmer must read before his end, is his own. As one looks at his life in one's deathbed, so should a programmer look at his code.
I think Andengine is lacking a bit in the documentation department. You might be better off working through some of the sample applications provided.
Libgdx is also another option you might want to consider.
"I/O has been done wrong for the last 30 years,” he said, referring to the fact that Node.js allows servers to react to specific events."

This statement shows how hype-oriented this team is. Node.js hasn't invented anything new. On top of that, it reimplemented 30 year old concepts badly.

I don't want to start a language war, but a simple comparison of Erlang (which is 20 years old) and Node.js will send this point home:

Even if RSA really is sufficiently novel (note that it had already been discovered by a secret service four years before publication), is that really worth a 20-year monopoly?
