Judged for driving the WRONG type of pickup. Ford Raptors are quite popular with techy car folks cause they're "performance vehicles" so it indicates you aren't the wrong kind of person.

Also the older the truck, the more OK it is (ironic considering older trucks are horrible on gas mileage) because then its a quirky hipster thing.

Suppose thats kind of the point you're making though, they're building a pickup that has indicators that its OK for "classy" people to drive.
Even if inflation is a problem, there is no chance it is even close to the biggest. Climate change? War? Starvation? Malaria?

Naw, my libertarian utopia is more important.

Further, btc is currently inflating faster than usd and will continue to inflate for a century.
I get what you're saying, but you seem to just be criticising element, not matrix. All of these are temporary problems which can be overcome with more time to hone the user experience.

I would love to see another company come along and make another matrix-based chat app to compete with element, hopefully that would result in them both getting better much quicker.
I didn't spot that! Thanks! That's a bit better.
Firefox has had tabs since it was in beta (and called Phoenix); It's the reason I started using it back then (~2002)
Agreed to an extent. Even outside RHEL, you have yum for RPM-based distros, Aptitude for deb-based distros, pacman for Arch, etc.

You need to start with the same base operating system, and you need to make sure that you pull in the same versions of packages in case there are backwards-incompatible bugs, or version bumps such that the dynamically-loaded library is no longer detected (hence the common albeit dangerous workaround of "add a symlink").

(If you're using rpm directly, then you need to bundle the actual packages that you're installing, or point to specific packages that you're confident won't change. And at that point, what's the difference between your approach and Docker?)

The challenge that I believe Docker solves (or, at least, attempts to) is environment reproducibility: without it, you have dependency hell.
You know what you get when buying an iPhone. Your argument stems from you believing you know more about the preferences of the average consumer than himself. Why should Apple be forced to offer a specific product? Don't like it, don't buy it. There are plenty of alternatives out there.
Moments of recognition reading this. A couple of weeks ago at virtual FOSDEM I was trying to work out how to join the FOSDEM chatrooms using the Android app formerly known as Riot.im (now Element.io). And I couldn't work it out - I gave up completely. I'm an actual programmer and heavy IRC user!
I think the most interesting design space is around not requiring normalisation. After all, if you have a normal form, you can probably represent it with sum and product types. Cubical Agda gives you this ability but it's really hard to use (as you might expect from one of the first attempts to create the functionality).
XMPP has omemo for encryption which is support by default by both major severs and every client i've tried -- especially the ones that aim for user-freindlyness likes conversations
Nearly all of the "bad cops" stories in the media, like nearly all stories in the media whatsoever, are toxoplasma:

https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/17/the-toxoplasma-of-rage...

If there is no case to be made in defending a cop, nobody wants to make it. But then it isn't a story, because it's only a story if it's a controversy.

That creates the impression that many people are defending all of these bad cops in the clear cases, when they're really only defending them in the controversial cases.
Is Sim City really closer to real life than GTA? I am no more the near-omnipotent mayor of a new town than I am a crook for hire with a penchant for running over ISKCon members.
Physical presence means the host nation also collects the tax revenue. It also means that those workers consume products in that nation. An immigrant will go to movies, buy food, go shopping, and pay taxes in the nation he immigrated to instead of the one he came from.
I think you're confusing race and financial ability. I never lived there before 2008. Before that I lived in / around Detroit.
What separates heathcare from a food is you know how hungry you are you have no idea what blood tests should be done. And the person ordering blood tests has no incentive to hold back as they make more money the more they do and can be suied if there to passive.

Was that before or after Petraeus's mail was hacked by the FBI? Maybe he was in the market for encrypted email...
A token stream that preserves token identities. Say you have a token stream of [t0, t1] and add a new token t2 between t0 and t1 to get [t0, t2, t1]. What you want is to be able to identify t0 and t1 in the new stream as being the same tokens as in the old stream. If you simply re-lex to get new tokens, that won't happen, and if you use character offsets as your token identities, t1 in the new and old stream will have different identities.

Incremental lexing is pretty easy: just convert the tokens around the damage back into text, re-lex that text, and then work from front and back of the new partial stream to replace new tokens with old existing tokens if their lexical categories match (e.g. an old identifier's text can be updated with a new identifier's contents, but that is ok because parsing only depends on the fact that the token is an identifier). You might not win any performance awards, but those reused old tokens make very good keys into various data structures for incremental parsing, incremental type checking, and even incremental re-execution (if you are into live programming).
Note that by default tinyproxy logs all the URLs it accesses, which may not be what you want.
Nice catch...the suit was against Honda. I must have subconsciously invoked Prius as a matter of bias (not in a negative capacity, simply as the dominate hybrid in my mind subjectively)
The current 11th Panchen Lama, Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, was recognized by the 14th Dalai Lama on 14 May 1995. Three days later, the 6 year old Panchen Lama was kidnapped by the Chinese government and his family was taken into custody. The Chinese government instead named Gyaltsen Norbu as the 11th Panchen Lama. Their nomination has been widely rejected by Buddhists in Tibet and abroad, while governments have called for information about and the release of the Panchen Lama. Gedhun Choekyi Nyima has never been publicly seen since 1995.[10][11]

>Respect What Came Before

When I was junior, I didn't respect much what came before...As I got experiences, I understood this need. I respect what came before, often people are surprised when I take that line.

The only problem is when people continue to do shit (even when hand carried through everything) and still have Pikachu faces when things go wrong, well these people and projects don't deserve respect.

You're describing sex, not gender, if you want to go back to basic science. All throughout history many people fulfilled the social role associated with the opposite sex despite having different chromosomes from the norm.
Misleading title. Theoretically, sure 'powerful' could mean those who are 'powerful' in the knowledge of how to do this - but i do not believe that is what the title was trying to do.

Anyone can do this, and have done this.

What these companies offer is the legwork, the right contacts at sites, and potential templates that make communication sound like it comes from solicitors/lawyers.

A lot of countries nationalised these services since they're essential. Nothing stops the US from doing the same.
This is the level of pedantry I can truly appreciate as a software engineer :)
You miss the point. The most obvious explanation for the author's experience is that it was unpleasant because, rather than in spite of the various parties' inability to handle the situation. They were fumbling over what to do rather than lusting for power, and if anything half the problem was down to nobody having enough authority to insist that no further questions were necessary.

Of course, that's only an interpretation, and it's possible the individuals involved gain visceral thrills from asking questions about being "somewhat religious" or "very religious" and laughing as their fellow henchmen misunderstand the concept of venture capital, and only the last vestiges of American law prevented them from responding to his request for a drink by waterboarding him. It's possible they asked ignorant questions about Hinduism and then called their crack Hindi-speaking agent as part of a cunning plan to deter non-Christians from ever flying again. It's just.... I'm sure the concept of Hanlon's razor has come up on HN a few times before?
>For example, irrational numbers—those that cannot be written as fractions— almost surely have no pattern in the numbers that appear after the decimal point. Therefore, most irrational numbers are complex objects, because they can be reproduced only by writing out the actual sequence.

That's false. Pi is irrational, but there's many short algorithms to calculate it's digits.

I read the headline wrong and came here to find out how mutton is magnetic at all.
"Tech workers have it great. What would a union even accomplish?"

Stuff like this is exactly what unions would accomplish if they became more standard in the industry. The Google union is a couple months old and is already successfully defending their members from violations of labor laws. How many others are there who are working in unsafe conditions and/or illegally fired for "security reasons" and have no one to speak out on their behalf?
These are all fair points reasonably made.
Discussion of salary and (iirc) discussion of working conditions are strongly protected in the US. Anyone know how universal that is?
Until Twitch is a public service owned by the government this is all perfectly legal and fine. There are other platforms if you want to be "bad" (in Twitch's estimation) and post your opinion. They don't owe anyone a platform.
Is the solution better software or smarter managers? I mean, you know that enterprise software sucks, but do the people who pay for it know that it sucks? How would you tackle that problem?
Perhaps some of the disagreements in working style are due to shifts in the R community? Ripley has been an active member of the Bell Labs S, and later GNU R, communities for about 20-25 years, over which period the user/contributor composition has shifted considerably, which might produce different shared norms/expectations and different friction points. 20 years ago the community was much more exclusively comprised of computationally oriented PhD statisticians, among other differences.
Yeah, that was my reaction to a lot of the discussion on this article. Firebase Realtime DB has been one of the most amazing pieces of software I've used. I don't have to worry about the connection details at all, I just have this data store that feels like a local DB except it's "magically" synced with the server, and any other users of the DB "magically" get updates when I change it.

Refreshing to read post that highlights how abundant, irrelevant[1] and clickbaity[2] these how-I-got-a-zillion-insta-sales-and-signups "growth hacking" posts are.

[1]Usually zero potential application for any other situation

[2]Worse than exaggerated, such titles are usually fabricated in that the story is opposite, e.g. got-X-users-in-2-days turns out to be activation of emails already collected over a span of a up to a year before launch.
A very in-depth post!

But why are you worried about driving into a Lamborghini and not the fact it would mean you've had a car accident and you could be dead?

This to me is where our perceived realities differ with real life.

Spending the money on defensive driving and/or car safety makes much more sense, but we can only see the future where the accident happens (And we survive) not all the accidents we can stop.

I have no idea about your girlfriends father and what happened but I'd prefer to spent money on not dieing than paying for what happens if I do.
I also worked with a Big 4 accounting firm and they used this method exclusively.

Thats their share of the total car market. Given that their portfolio only consists of one model, it's probably better to look at their specific segment: Luxury and Sports.

In that segment, they had a 12% market share YTD.
If anyone wants to discourage bright hackers from working at the NSA, make it creepy to their potential love interests: publish stories at popular sites with titles like, "Is your NSA girlfriend/boyfriend reading your Facebook messages?"
I think you misread the op's post -- the suggestion was, "would you work with them again." If they're lousy the answer is obviously no.
If the key must the same length as the message, and must be different for every message, I guess we can't really call that encryption. May as well communicate the complete message by which ever way the secret key was communicated.
You may have found a calling. I hope you consider expanding the scope of your activities beyond your wife's friends. What would make it worth your while?

Impressive work everyone!
Correct, that doesn't change the arguments that were being pushed around as defence why Chrome isn't IE.
I've used Linux mostly on IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads and Dell Latitudes. Overall I've had great success. Drivers work, suspend and hibernation work, plugging in monitors just works, wifi works, and battery life is decent enough.

My current benchmark for laptop integration is a Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 that my previous employer bought me with Windows 10. It had a high-DPI screen and there were so many bugs it wasn't even funny. The touchpad was horrible to use. Connecting and disconnecting external monitors was a fun adventure not unlike playing roulette to see if the big presentation you're about to make will ever show on the projector.

Overall, I'd say my Windows and Linux experiences on laptops has been about equal in terms of frustration and annoyance. I haven't had a Mac since like 2007 when I got rid of my G4 PowerBook which was probably the most polished laptop I've ever used in terms of hardware/software just working-ness.

Windows 10 is a mess. It makes Linux on a laptop much easier to bear :)
Gödel showed that a consistent, recursively enumerable axiomatic system capable of producing the standard model of natural numbers will have statements in which that statement is true in some models but not in other models.
Rest in peace. 99 isn't a bad age to go, what a life he had.
But do you care about how they disproved it? Or do you care about the outcome? The process is interesting, can provide useful information, and a good process is the only way forward we have, etc., but it's not the point of science. What good is the process if the outcome is bad?

This may be a linguistic thing, though. Perhaps we read that phrase in a different way. But to me, it very much echoes "it's about the journey, not the destination".
The fashion industry is responsible for 10 per cent of annual global carbon emissions. Which is 4 times that of all aviation.

1. Find harmless/odourless/cheap chemical with some nitro groups or otherwise molecular shifty character.

2. Refill electronic air-freshener dispenser with said liquid.

Fair enough. They should have done feature detection, not user agent sniffing. I just don’t think that’s that big of a deal.
If I'd be a person whose wifi data was collected I'd be much more concerned about regulators having it then google.
I'd really prefer for google to just erase all traces of it.
This needs to be broadcast to the entire internet population. It's incredible how widespread (and instantly reached for) the term and its conventionally spelled sibling have become.
There seem to be a lot of people here that apparently missed the point, so I am going to repeat the comment I added to the OP blog:

He didn't say that 'sending lots of emails' makes you an entrepreneur - he said that is one thing that he has to do as an entrepreneur that he wasn't expecting. There was another post, I think about a year ago on HN, where a founder pointed out that he ended up cleaning the company's toilets until they could afford to hire a janitor. There are all kinds of jobs that need to be done for a business to function that many people don't realize beforehand.
Here's the world's worst opinion on movie making: here's the world's worst idea for a movie: Titanic.

Can anybody name even a single, solitary reason--even one--why the story of the Titanic could be considered anything other than a fantastic idea for a movie? The only thing I can come up with is "It's been done (successfully) too many times already", but that actually disproves the general assertion. I mean--it's up there with WWII and James Bond as far as great movie ideas go, and yet, he says "worst"? Bizarre.
Wow, some of those are actually valid passports and not just samples or jokes.

This argument applies equally to programming languages, and Zig seemed to go OK?

There is some plausible verilog code on that page and schematics. It looks like Brad got a core design running in simulation - no evidence of synthesis or IO (yet?).

>why should you lose the right to do something because someone has filed a piece of paper?

Point of fact: not all intellectual property (eg. most copyright protection) requires filing. That said:

You lose the right to do something that you were unable to do before because you lacked the knowledge, as it's intellectual property, to perform the work/invention in question. You are effectively immediately in no worse a situation.

The person who has, by the "sweat of their brow", laboured to enlarge the realm of knowledge is rewarded with a limited monopoly to encourage others to progress the domain of knowledge. This then creates both an enlargement of the public domain of knowledge, after the applied limits expire, and a motivation to enlarge that pool of knowledge to all.

IMO the basic premise of intellectual property (as I expound above) is sound and arguably moral.

The current implementations that follow on and have been corrupted by decades of lobbying by high profile, heavyweight corporations are greatly lacking in the respects which afford this premise it's moral standing - namely that the creators themselves are often relatively ill-rewarded and that the public domain is not receiving it's benefit (the payment in return for the monopoly we, the public, grant).

This is not news. Nobody gives a crap. Move along, everyone.
The thing that bothers me more is how many of these MOOCS require you to sign up to be able to watch the lectures. Sometime I would just like to watch some of the lectures and not have to bother with assignments and quizzes.
They do rely upon the API calls, but their spam elimination requires full web pages, not just what you get from an API call.
Don't ideas take that stuff into account? Ie. isn't the market and the ability to build and sell the product part of the idea? I can't imagine an example where it isn't. Like how could you make the following statement concrete: "I have an idea for a startup but don't know who would want it and don't know how it could be built or sold". Granted, you could say things like, "time travel", but those clearly aren't startup ideas. To me, for it to be considered a startup idea, it must at least try to address these things.

If not then let me be clear that I intend for that to be part of the discussion. After all, when you break down the question of "how do you build a successful startup", those are things that have to be addressed.
A fantastic book I'm reading at the moment on the parallel history of tech and psychedelic experimentation is:

What the Dormouse Said: How the Sixties Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry
Without getting too specific, a family farm like ours is definitely not worth $2mil, and outright selling it wouldn't cover me + siblings going to Stanford. But the key is that it's enough to borrow against -- Stanford just wants you to be physically able to pay, even if that means exorbitant loans, and they'll generally offer you enough grants to get you to the point where loans can cover the rest.

Even this 125k threshold assumes a 5k student contribution and doesn't cover the mandatory 15k in room + board for incoming freshmen. It's great PR, though, and still, props to them.
I think leaving a store because you forgot your wallet is an edge case that only an extremely small percentage of bounces would relate to. I agree pop-ups are annoying, but I think its important to remember that HN users aren't necessarily the customers every business out there is targeting.
