I just found this reading through your comment history, so +1 from me. :)
From my experience I learned that there only 2 ways we can consistently make profits in stock markets.

1. Front running
2. Insider trading
I didn't want to complicate the poll. If HN is not your primary source of news, then it is a "no". If you don't have a "primary" source, then it is a "no".
I should have also mentioned that the Linode API supports what you're describing: http://www.linode.com/api/
Ai doesn’t interpret human emotions if it uses classical logic. It’s just a bias min/maxing machine.
One day we will get it. I believe the intention is to support full destructuring but it is hard to get a feature added to the standard. Sometimes functionality is cut just to increase the probability that it will be voted in.

For example lambdas were added in C++11, but generic lambdas were cut out and only added in C++14.
I don't understand how you could arrive at that reading. It seems clear to me that GP is worried about the erosion of free speech norms on HN, and isn't claiming anything like what you suggest.
The MVC and ORM revolutions are the counter-argument to this.

Rails/Django, then ASP.Net MVC/Laravel/whatever Java was was a massive step forward. If you didn't use it, you were hamstringing yourself. People switched to Rails in droves.

As were using ORMs. You'll still get people quibble about this, but never having to go through the tedium of updating 101+ SQL statements when you add a column in a pain you young'uns will never know...

JQuery was actually another example. Cross browser Ajax statements were annoying, plus just manually adding individual HTML nodes in HTML was laborious.
I have first hand experience this ,as I was recently diagnosed with reactive hypoglycaemia[1]. The recommended treatment was eating protein and vegetables before carbohydrates, along with daily 12 hour fasting, and within week my symptoms were gone. It's apparently an intestinal issue, where it over-reacts to the presence of carbs when the stomach is empty, and is fairly common in people who have had bariatric surgery.

I think part of the reason Feynman got as far as he did--apart from his unusual innate talents--was his skepticism of formality.

Measure theory will tell you exactly when this result is true, but it is possible to grok the result with only a basic understanding of differentiation and integration. Feynman called this "the Babylonian approach" to mathematics.

F(t) = integral(a,b) f(t, x) dx
~ sum(i) f(t, xi) * Dx

F'(t) ~ (F(t+Dt) - F(t)) / Dt
= integral(a,b) f(t+Dt, x)-f(t, x) dx/Dt
~ sum(i) (f(t+Dt, xi) - f(t, xi))/Dt Dx
~ sum(i) f'(t, xi) Dx
~ integral(a, b) f'(t, x) dx
The powerpc switchover was similar. What was sort of annoying was that they retired it rather quickly.

maybe that's there way of saying "enough's enough" to lagging developers, but I kind of like Microsoft's model better -- you can still manage to get really old stuff running. That's a better way to get people on a newer OS.
> It is the party's choice for its English language representation.

Maybe you should have led with that?
I don't think that these are equivalent. This issue is similar to saying that every conversation will be recorded by default, unless you opt out of a recording beforehand.
It’s so many steps of association too. A blog is in a community that another writer was writing about when a prominent investor who is powerful yet notoriously controversial in a particular industry said bad things, therefore that industry and the blog are... well you know ;)
It also doesn't use self-modifying code. In words of the author:

>This is like telling the waiter that you don’t eat poultry but eggs are okay, and then they bring you an egg, but that egg hatches into a chicken right after they bring it to you. Come on. [...] While self-modifying code is a powerful technique, it makes this problem "too easy;" I want to explore what programs can be written natively in the printable subset of X86.

I’m a software developer living in Brussels, Belgium. I’ve been working professionally on software development since 2007. The tech stacks I've been working the most with are Java and Python related but I'm more interested in Python nowadays. I've been doing lots of backend lately, in big and small companies. My frontend skills are a bit rusty but I can get up to speed quickly.

I'm interested in ethical job positions that help to build communities and add value to society.
Queen / Kaiser Chief / Pink Floyd / REM / other “soft rock”

Although Clubhouse rambling is good too
My first role as a software developer was writing an elaborate chatbot that worked as a document retrieval and recommendation system that would conversationally collect the prerequisites to running SQL scripts. Many months in we added shortcuts to the system that essentially turned it into drop down menus for users who didn't want to talk to a chatty personality to get work done.

I loved ChatScript and filling templates with data retrieved through fact-triples tho, hope I get to work with it again someday.
There's a reason consumer debt is worth pennies on the dollar. The average legal obligation to pay Griddy's receiver $5000 will probably end up collecting somewhere between $500 and $50 after collection costs.

Anyhow the point is that Griddy's creditors are also taking a haircut.
Dare to elaborate how you manage these GC issues (example code, howtos, etc.)? Thx
Same here when I went from Bangalore to Houston. Amazing seamless experience.
Since we give manufacturers an artificial monopoly over the ability to provide those parts, schematics, tools, and software, it seems reasonable that we might give them some responsibilities along with that privilege.

It's less about forcing manufacturers to do something, and more about saying to them, "if we give you permission to take away other people's rights and make it a felony for other people to build businesses around flashing firmware on your tractors without your permission, then in return you have to give people better avenues for repair."

Copyright and DRM laws create artificial monopolies that we grant companies because (for better or worse) we've decided that market intervention into creative industries and granting people limited legal monopolies over ideas is sometimes in the best interest of the market/society. But copyright is a privilege that we grant companies for pragmatic reasons, it's not a constitutional right or a natural property right. Copyright is a market intervention by the government, and it's fine for that intervention to come with caveats and conditions.
They're on OTC (over the counter) markets, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTC_Markets_Group

This isn't NYSE or NASDAQ. Not all retail brokerages support OTC markets although it's become much more common in the past year or two. Even then it's usually partial support. Here's the instrument list https://www.otcmarkets.com/corporate-services/company-direct...

They've been generally discouraged (and thus not supported) for retail investors due to their complexity and risks, similar to derivatives and futures, which are still quite exotic to find in retail brokerages

You can also get foreign stocks over the counter (select by country from the link above). There's an ADR 30 similar to the DJIA index. You've likely heard of many of them https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTCM_QX_ADR_30_Index . You can say, invest in Lenovo or Fujitsu via OTC. It's not everything, but it's the ones people are generally interested in.

It's exotic because if Lenovo doesn't move but say the Yuan does, then your dollar value does too. Also there's different fee schedules often for foreign investors (that's you here), etc. The complexity tries to be smoothed out by the brokerages (firstrade has offered otc since 2010, recommended if you want to give OTC a try* ) but it's not as simple as buying a bit of General Motors

And lastly, some, like Taiwan Liposome Company (TLC), get traded on NASDAQ using ADR schemes (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/adr.asp)

* - shameless signup referral for a free stock: https://share.firstrade.com/CHRISTOPHVR08 ... If you were going to try it anyways, might as well
That make sense as a mission but that announcement alone will have the opposite effect. The last few weeks proved a lot of people that the game is rigged against retail investors. The is not what is needed to restore confidence, and stop the move to crypto.
hateOfMS != hateOfFB

MS "just" used it's behavior to ensure it was the dominate OS, and made some hardware products to boot. They had some questionable telemetry stuff going on, and with the latest OS joined the slimey ad stuff after everyone else had already paved that particular road to hell for them.

FB is much much creepier in all of the information they gather about people without them being aware of it. Not just what/who they follow, but they have insights into their user's financial/spending info, health/medical, and plenty of other stuff that is just too damn much. And they way the implemented it so that they follow you around to gather that info without you even coming close to using their site.

In my opinion, it's just not even the same sport let alone ballpark.
The Hollywood guilds were fine with Hollywood accounting for decades. It was individual actors and directors and producers that filed the lawsuits that made Hollywood accounting too much of a risk for the big studios.

And more importantly, unlike Hollywood talent, game developers and anime animators as a group have never been entitled to a share of the profits of the products they helped create.

Hi,

I've been building The Global Computer Employer Index at:

http://www.warplife.com/jobs/computer/

This is distinctly different from a job board in that I don't list individual job openings, rather I link to the "Careers" or "Jobs" section at each employer's own website. There is no charge for a listing in my index, nor will there ever be.

It is still in its infancy, as I've been working out ways to automate the collection of links. I have some good ideas in mind but have not yet implemented them.

Keep up the good work!
Specifically...?
There is corporate "ethos" and "greed is good" etc... But what I find disturbing is that these wankers (corporate and government) are stupid/greedy enough to fuck over honeybees.

The same honeybees that are providing us with 1 in 3 meals every single friggin day! Maybe big-pharma is confident that it can feed the humanity - but I see it as an incredibly shortsighted strategy that WILL cause us our lives - before global warming or nukes - since we're apparently trying extremely hard to exterminate the little critters.
Here's a direct link to some demos, as the book progresses you'll get better eye candy: http://biilly.github.com/doodle-js/doc/demos/making_things_m...
'"Those cops knew they were going to be recorded." is the response you'd get.'

But what about the privacy of the suspects that the COPS voiceover reminds us are 'innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.'

Did they have any say in a film crew marching in after the police, filming the inside of their house and whatever interactions occur for broadcast? This seems like a far greater violation of privacy that the recording of public officials doing official business in public locations.
What does that even mean in non-education-theory-speak?
Isn't this a better conversation for email?
So....let's just discard with web security altogether.
> Time in web applications is not used looking up array lengths - it's used in IO, layout, and DOM manipulation.

Unless you're implementing a cross-browser stable sorting algorithm for manipulating tables 50,000 rows long or longer (that was exactly my most recent project). Don't say "it should be done on the server" because that statement is true only as long as everybody keeps writing bad Javascript.
Maybe that's about employee theft.
No it should be 24.0159254 old-hours, so that the orbital period is an integral number of earth rotations. Assuming you want to waste your mad-scientist powers on silly bureaucratic nonsense, and not on, say, spinning the earth fast enough to lower surface gravity (leap tall buildings in a single bound to get to Starbucks).
It's easily a much greater risk to spend money on recruiting, hiring, training, and paying taxes and benefits for full-time employees than it is to make a comparatively small investment to build new products built around your company.
I have no doubt I would win the bet.

Awesome. I love betting at ∞:1 odds. I wager $ε.
The process is always the same

1. Launch platform that supports user generated content
2. Close eyes, let any content go
3. Manually take down selective content (porn, racist material, etc)
4. Support official DMCA channels
5. Increase speed and volume of take downs for select material
6. Provide automatic detection and takedown of MPAA/RIAA material

You only have to fulfill the requirement of each sequential bullet point after you get substantially large. If you stay small and unprofitable you don't have to worry about it. The more profitable become the more you have to worry about it.

Honestly that seems pretty reasonable to me. Some cases, such as sports highlights, are annoying. But for the most part it's fine. No, you can't make millions of dollars off of someone else's content. I'm ok with that. YouTube feels like it's in a pretty good spot imo. If someone wants to compete with YouTube then they're gonna have to play by the same rules. That's not too bad.
> There are many things to be worried about in the world, however I do not think we need to be overly fearful of the concept of producing a portable lamp close to the location where we want to then use it.

It's precisely the kind of thing we need to be fearful of if spreading manufacturing becomes a trend but spreading environmental and labor standards does not.
Real-time games are "okay" if the game has the tech built in to the sound engine and does audio processing in a way that takes into account the position of your speakers (on head, surround, etc).

Problem is, I rarely meet a game that does (I think maybe I own one or two, but I can't remember which ones, which tells you what sort of impact those games made on me).

Being able to already have positional queues on a per sound basis is much different than downmixing 5.1. The technology isn't useless when all I want to do is watch a movie and be able to enjoy it with headphones without garbled audio.

Like I said above, you can downmix left, center, and right, and throw in a little sub, and get a stereo/headphone mix, but positional cues provided by surrounds are gone, and you can't just mix those in normally, the mix gets too confused.
>Would not remote control robots decrease the number of firefighters necessary?

Perhaps, but I think the loss of situation awareness would be a big problem to overcome (certainly not insurmountable, just the first challenge I see).

I absolutely agree that this is the direction things are headed, I just think the timescale is a little optimistic.
Deringing (removing 'noise' around text and similar shapes in jpeg-compressed images) is awesome only in itself.

Hopefully this will find its way into image authoring tools.
That's the strangest way to show a histogram I've ever seen. Sort of cumulative in both directions at the same time.
He is definitely more qualified than most parents. Like are the teachers. And actually most likely this state (not country) level officer is a career teacher who is no longer teaching.

And yes, they are doing their share of stupid things. But that is the 1% everyone does wrong
Considerably worse than the masterful original. I guess it is satire of the earlier (and also worse) "improvements"?

If you use these high contrast colors, you will break it for users on good displays. That means potential investors, people on iPhones, people on expensive samsung phones.

Those are the people you usually want as customers. And you're making your website painful for them. That's a decision you can make, but don't be surprised if you'll fail with that attitude.

First, that article is about smartphones. Second, even on smartphones, logical or physical, pixels are not related to text, they are related to the screen resolution.

Square removes cap on how much you can accept?
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/square/id335393788?mt=8
I can't seem to find any other validation of this other than the update log on iTunes. I noticed that the squareup.com website removed the area that said I had a $100 cap. Can anyone else confirm this? There's no blog post that I can find, and the support documentation is dated and still talks about caps.

-----------------

What's New In Version 1.2
- Never lose a sale: no caps on how much you can accept.
- iOS 4 support.
- Improved experience for contacting Square support.
- Cash tendered field is now pre-filled with the expected amount.
- User feedback when swiping too slow or too fast.
- User feedback when swiping an expired card.
- Excluding tax from a transaction is now accurately reflected in the receipt.
- Fixed a crash affecting iOS 4 users with core location disabled.

The French Shuffle – Touch XL
http://frenchshuffle.wordpress.com/touch-xl/
Touch XL is our new, ten-minute mix series, which urges musicians to push the bounds of creativity, by putting together an eclectic array of tunes. One might ask “how does it motivate a musician to showcase their talents in an original way?” Well, for starters, the ten minute time constraint encourages artists to go with the flow and play out music that inspires them. Performers, like Madeon and M4SONIC, are especially good at this, building sensational atmospheres in a matter of minutes. Think you’re up for the challenge?

I've started a community site and podcast for distributed teams
http://wideteams.com
Hi HN! For the past few years I've been working in geographically dispersed software development teams. I noticed that there didn't seem to be a site specifically dedicated to discussing the challenges, benefits, and best practices unique to remote teamwork. So I decided to build it.

In keeping with the community intentions of the site, there are going to be lots of guest posters sharing their experiences with remote work. I've also been recording interviews with members of remote teams about how they work, and posting them in the form of a podcast.

I figure that there are probably a good number of you either working remotely or considering it. So, since I'm trying to build a community site, I'd like to invite you to check it out and let me know what you think. I hope if you like it you'll stick around and contribute.

Thanks for your time!
