I don't believe anybody accused the OP of antisemitism. What I see is, "It raises an antisemitism caution flag whether the speaker intended to or not." That's manifestly not an accusation. Do you see something different?
If you hit it big, you’ll spend on their platform for a long time. You don’t have to explicitly promise anything because you’ve built everything around their platform for months/years.
It would have to be a legitimately RAM heavy workload though... running out of RAM due to leaving applications open (or browser tabs open), might result in swapping out those to disk until they are used again. But the level of swapping required to generate this much write usage would essentially be using the disk as RAM, as in the running program doesn't have enough RAM, either due to needing more than physically available or due to buggy memory management.
Breyer was a prominent copyright law scholar before he became a judge. Between that, and the fact that he hasn't gotten many opportunities to write majority opinions in his 27 years on the court, and the fact that he's likely about to retire in a few months, giving him the opinion was the obvious and collegial thing for Roberts to do.

I'm biased, but I don't think the technical elements of this case were challenging to an intelligent layman. I think most people smart enough to become judges can understand the concept of an interface that is independent from an implementation, which is all this case really required, along with quantitative estimates of the amount of code involved. So I doubt that he needed clerks to understand any of it.
The first pull quote merely demonstrates the Guardian relating America to other countries, and while their criticism may be fair or unfair, calling it "Anti-Americanism" makes me feel like the author is playing identity politics. It smacks of a refusal to be honest about America's failures in service of playing the side-taking game.
You can read on their blog. They use custom software with Reed-Solomon* erasure coding, similar to RAID but distributed between different disks, servers and racks. Their EC library is on Github (Java). The most enjoyable posts are the ones describing how they built their pods and architecture.
Re 2 & 4: All signs here (pop 200k city) are in German. Only some very rare exceptions are in English (and other languages as well), like Corona behavior signs. The only English I normally see is the atrocious Denglisch (Portmanteau of Deutsch (German) and English) like "Back Factory" (Baking factory…) or single words like "sale".
I wonder, isn't tape backup ripe for disruption? The drives are crazy expensive, while tapes are very affordable.
> Textualists are trying to ignore the fact that there's a difference between intent and implementation.

I would say that they are not so much trying to ignore the fact as acknowledging the fact but taking the position that it the court's role to interpret the implementation, not to guess at the intent.
You should read deep work. It's had a profound impact on how I consume social media.

Behaviors related to smartphones, email, social media etc should be evaluated by their holistic impact on our life In the same way we do with alcohol, drug use, and other addictive behaviors.

The effect it's had on my state of mind is profoundly positive. I don't even hear notifications anymore and I am far more productive.
Betting against 3 isn't just rolling dice. In a sense, betting against 3 is betting against YC itself (albeit a slightly weaker version, with the variance in startup, it will probably takes a few batches in aggregate to make a strong bet).

From Sam's point of view, 3) is probably the safest one. Likewise, 1) seems to be the most risky one.
This headline is definitely one for @justsaysinmice.
It gets interesting if you start people on the anti-viral medication before infecting them. That should make the disease very mild. There might not be anybody who gets severe illness.
Typically, in a functional language, values are immutable.
So if you cons to a list, you create a new value that has the current list as its tail. Since all lists are immutable, they can be shared and there's no need for a deep copy.

Python is not a functional programming language....

Yeah, I think people are confusing terms here. I'm not sure what the global trend is but this is an interesting article:

Or you can denormalize the relationships and commit a single document atomically.

Document-based DBs are not RDBMSs, and consequently you can't (or rather, shouldn't) just apply your traditional database design methodology to it.

> You are thinking a TON of steps ahead. You have nothing. Ideas are cheap.

Agreed.

> The most basic market research you need to do is to identify the size of the market you're attacking. Put a real number on that somehow. It may be guesswork, but do some serious digging.

I will try. For now, I don't see much traction in Asian sub-continent in selling or buying things online. I will try to do some research and convert it to real numbers. I have been researching people's horror stories about selling/buying things online. The primary reason generally boils down to late payments from the payment gateways. I am considering acting as a payment gateway to have the clients out of the inconvenience loop.

The other reason is people don't have much faith here in Asian sub-continent in buying goods online. That is changing and I hope to tap into it.

> Based on where your competitors fit in, you may decide that you can't compete on price

The current plan is to compete primarily on price. Of course, that implies that the services are at par with the competitor.

> Then you want to figure out how much your competitors are making: estimate their costs, their profit margins, etc.

I have done some cost analysis based on my server costs and how much I am going to charge. I am hosting on Google App Engine and I am calculating the server costs based on that. We are developing without salary so the dev costs are zero. I am planning to compete on price.

> Maybe they haven't ever heard of Shopify? Or maybe they don't trust Shopify to handle their setup?

Both of the reasons are true for the demographics I have digged into.

> You mentioned you're quitting your job in 2 months to do this full time. Why?

Technically, I already have resigned. But the legal notice period is 2 months.

> Do you have a ton of cash that you can do that? When do you expect to break even? How long can you survive on no salary? What are your expenses?

I am bootstrapping. For 2 months, I would be working nights to build it. After that, I would be looking for some freelance work to sustain me. I have a miniature services profile http://defiance.in and I know a couple of people who can use my services. That's not a priority. The work division would be 70(product)-30(services).

Nah, it's good to see a varied response(mostly negative). Keeps me on track.

We have two sofas facing one-another with a table in-between, window to one side of the table.

In houses here in Norway living rooms are often divided into 2 or 3 sections, where there is a dining area, a sofa(s) & chairs around a table area and a TV 'corner' with what I believe Americans call a 'lazy-boy' (a reclining, swivel chair?) pointing at a TV. In our house we don't have the TV area because computers have replaced the TV but this is considered very poor by some people who think watching on anything smaller than 50" is like washing dishes in a filthy stream.
Reading this reminds me of the "Mistakes Were Made" This American Life podcast [1]. It's amazing how much we've learned in the last 50 years & how far we have to go in order to get to what we've seen in movies [2]

The actual name of the book is 'The Dead Mountaineer's Inn.' What is it with American journalists that they feel it's OK to just change the titles of things to make a snappy headline? I've never seen this behavior in any other country's media. I find it incredibly disrespectful.
Don't know why you are being downvoted, that is a huge amount of the motivation behind openbsds innovations.
The Federal government generally stays away from general police duties, because most of the laws typically enforced by the police are state laws. When the Feds operate police forces, it is scoped to a specific institution or place. The VA, GSA, US Mint, etc operation police forces oriented towards federal property.

I think it makes sense for railroads to have police, as the crimes that affect them are multi-jurisdictional by nature and specific to the railroad. Colleges are similar in many ways... US Marshalls + pinkertons provided security to railroads in the 19th century. Professional police alleviate many of the abuses that inevitably happen with security people.

I get a little uncomfortable with private police not tied to an institution. When I was in vacation in South Carolina, the resort rent-a-cops were sworn officers... that sounds like a way to cover up crime to me.
Well, we know part of the truth. We have to work on the details, but are hopefully getting gradually more correct. At the same time, if the predictions are right, acting is good. If the predictions are not right, acting is at least not bad, and many of the proposed ideas are still good. If you're sceptical, bring your arguments and help us refine our knowledge. (Google first, most points have been adressed extensively by many people.)

(e.g. 'Don't burn oil but save it for better uses' is good in a world with finite oil reserves. 'Don't treat the land badly and keep forests' is good for water management and erosion.)

That could be what Elsevier & friends are guilty of, but I'd like to see a chain of reasoning that makes it obvious.
> sunday is 7

My understanding is that all days except Sunday "week-day" (星期日) are numbered. Monday is (星期一) "week-one". So there is still some room for ambiguity left if you allow for counting from 0.
Then that key can no longer be used. The solution to this resulting in being permanently locked out is to have more than n+1 redundancy in hardware, and ideally meatware too.

> Whereas if you abuse YAML (or JSON or XML or whatever) to create a limited and hard/impossible-to-extend DSL, you still have much more control over what can and cannot be executed by the config engine, even if the DSL happens to accidentally become Turing complete. You can embed limited shell commands in the DSL as an escape hatch, but make it difficult enough that you really have to try to make a mess.

The article actually mentions Dhall as a solution. This engineering problem has been resolved.

Why we choose to adore tech celebrities always suprise me.

"He was not aware" makes me laugh. That information was out in the open and widely published when he didn't know.

You've called it a war, which is just an analogy, but aren't actual wars sometimes good for the economy in certain ways, like generating economic activity? Is there a chance that could apply here?

Though maybe the work of fighting a medical war is more narrow and specialized than the work of fighting a literal war. For example, you cannot institute of draft and make people into doctors in time to fight this. Whereas with an actual war you can stick people on the front lines with a few months of training or put them to work in a factory.

> B, C, D, E were completely generic and interchangeable.

I was under the impression that it went

Accumulator

Base

Counter

Data

I'm not sure about the D or E registers, but I am sure I remember using B as the base address register for arrays, and using C as the counter register for loops and such because the others couldn't be used that way.

It's been a while. Am I misremembering?
There is a somewhat equivalent to that for batteries: Coulomb’s law [1]. The energy contained in a battery increases exponentially the closer the anode and cathode are to each other.

Due to this, scale and other reasons, we’ve seen batteries become 15-20% cheaper year over year [2] for at least the last two decades.

I don't think Stross is actually saying that such terrorist attacks are feasible or likely - just that the culture of TSA and the slightest possibility of such acts will make inevitable the kind of security theater that's driving the wealthy away from regular first-class.
I shouldn't comment on a dumb article, but this is pretty much original content free. It is a summary of other articles with a link bait title.
Again, one of the biggest problems I had was when I didn't add enough things to the job description, people didn't apply. I think people are just conditioned to look for lists of skills. The entire job hunt is currently a mess in this business.

I did, and still do, have to "weed out" a lot of the horrible candidates. A lot of people can talk up their skills and brag through an interview and you have to be quite careful.

If I can help you further in finding your first gig, I would be glad to. Feel free to kick me an email at my HN username at that giant Google owned email service ;) you'll find something great! Keep your chin up and you'll make it.
It's funny that copyright holders restrict people to legally watch their content and then complain that their content is being pirated.
I completely disagree about Backbone. Sure, what Backbone does can be understood in about an hour, but since it isn't very opinionated and since it doesn't do very much for you, you end up having to figure out every single codebase you step into. Yes, Ember is annoying when it isn't working. I once spend four days (!!) tracking down why something wasn't working when I was first learning Ember, but I can look at any Ember code base and understand it in under an hour whereas with Backbone and Angular I see people implementing their own (often broken) patterns and solutions.

There was 1 coordinated attack where the hijackers did not want hostages. If I am a passenger on a hijacked plane, my guess would be that they are in it for the ransom.
The proprietary part thing is also very strange. It's unlikely (I think) that they will be able to keep others out of the market anyway, but it's also a very weird idea that you could buy a bike but then have to pay a subscription otherwise you can't use it. Maybe the pricing model will make this more straightforward somehow, but Chinese four-strokes are very cheap now, so it's difficult to imagine how this might be price competitive.
Geolocating the IP and comparing it to IP's assigned to ISP's isn't that hard, then it's simply just blocking non US registered accounts with a US IP address which is not assigned to a general commercial or residential address spaces of US ISP's.
There might be some issues with people using netflix from within very large corporations that own entire IP blocks and are effectively their own ISP but that's quite a negligible amount of users to begin with.

But before people some how blame the US again i have a feeling this is actually powered by non US actors. US firms have no reason to block it, the problem comes when the rights for the content that Netflix streams in the US belong to other entities elsewhere, especially of those entities licensed the content to other competing services.
If LoveFilme(Amazon Instant Video these days), NOW, or any other streaming services bought the rights exclusive rights for shows or movies in the UK the last thing they would want is for people to be able to stream them from Netflix using a VPN or a proxy..
I've got a crazy guess here: I bet they're working on more ways to show ads.

What about when they accidently release private information because the information was at some point in the software. I'd rather a single backup system like time machine than every application reinventing the wheel with all the bugs that entails.
Having worked as a delivery guy, I always find it weird that everyone points to this "shut-in economy" as representing some sort of classism. You can do deliveries for Amazon or drive for Uber while also utilizing these services yourself. It'd depend a lot on tips (techies don't tip well so this might be a problem in San Francisco), but it's not like you're stuck on one side of the fence here.
Gotta love Arch for being cutting-edge on the packages, too. And AUR... man, what a great distro. I probably spend something like 5 minutes a week maintaining it, and 99% of that time is updating packages.

The aspect of "time" relates to productivity. I consider this a motivational tool using game-ification and social media. The reason I love interval training for running and getting into shape is that it gives me a tangible sense of progression. When I am able, I can move on to the next tier of my running program, which is tougher than the former. "Accessible", "Tangible progress", "Mobility", "Social", "Motivitational".

I wouldn't equate doing the FitFu exercises with working out in the gym. Sure, if you do the same exercises there, but I assume that working out in the gym is more intense. The exercises don't strike me as cardio- nor weight/strength-heavy.

You could promote it as a Wii Fit for iOS or a mobile version at that. Break down what makes Wii Fit entertaining and popular (to those who do) and try to apply it to your product.
Agreed - I like that. Thanks. That also solve the problem of not being able to use italic to highlight the "fu" in plain-text cases.
Thanks for the memories, Thomas (I think).

I remember that drug post from a few years ago. If was about an English PhD who posted that he needed drugs to cope and I really ripped into him. I wasn't upset so much that he "smoked to relax" but that it ended up here, where it could have easily been misunderstood by someone impressionable (and young). I got shredded by my fellow hn'ers that day. Amazing that you remembered it.

You're right, I won't work with anyone whose ethics I suspect. Pretty simple, I think.

For the record, I'm certainly not a saint. Once you get to know me irl (hopefully that will come about some day), you'll see. It's just that I have never found any substitute for pristine business ethics, and I occasionally point that out here. The feedback, both kinds, is usually quick and predictable.

I'm not disappointed, just concerned, that's all.
My understanding that part of the arguments center around the idea of a reasonable expectation of privacy. You're not protected by the fourth amendment for public communications, for example.

While most people probably do expect that their emails are private, it's not necessarily a fair assumption. Email is by default completely unencrypted. (even if you are communicating with your mail server sercurly, it is likely that when your message is sent to a different server it is unencrypted.) You can make the argument that such open communication does not carry a reasonable expectation of privacy when anyone on the network could read it so easily. (Let alone people using open wifi to connect to an unsecured mail server where anyone on the network could read anything -- firesheep)

This is further complicated by the fact that we most of us hand over our emails to be stored by third parties (a very different practice from entrusting the postal service with a sealed envelope) who don't necessarily have the same legal protection to maintain the privacy of your communication as you do.

I'm glad that the courts see email as protected, but I recognize that there are legal arguments to be made for the opposite case.
I didn't hear anything about it, but that would be even worse... I got an email from them as well, but don't remember ever registering in there (and my email is not in the data dump).
