First sentence:

The short answer is…no.

Thanks for saving me the trouble of reading the rest of the article.
I have an html5 slideshow-esque site almost done I was going to call "slippycomics." Now I feel I have to change the name since it has nothing to do with that guy.
Clearly the author has never read "The Human Stain" by Philip Roth.
At first, I thought that, too.

But having seen the way wave works[1], plus the more real-time nature of Waving, I would actually think that instant messaging notifications would align more closely with Wave's goals. One gets XMPP (Jabber) notification for free, and I would bet a Euro that wiring an XMPP server to AIM or (other) is not overwhelmingly hard.

Start a blog full of misinformation about the tech industry. You'll get so much click through from people trying to burn you that profit is inevitable.
Thanks. This is what I was looking for.
It require root access on the client, on the server it only needs ssh and python >= 2.3
are you suggesting that all the herbs and whatever the chinese use have been tested for all the known diseases?
Yeah, Burma, but really there are lots of other. IMO the rule is quite simple - if the tld is under control of a nic in a country having problem with freedom per western standards, better not to depend on it. However bit.ly somehow manages to successfully work regardless the theoretical risk.
So if the Nazis had instead used the Holy Cross as their symbol, everyone (in the west) would be OK with banning it from churches and all forms of public display?
I speak English as a second language and I was convinced that "small people" is a synonym for "ordinary people" until I read this article.

The German expression "Der kleine Mann" means "ordinary man" (in the context of an ordinary man against a big company or the government), but the word "klein" literally translates to "small"/"little".
The former employer is suing the employee for attempting to recruit it's employees by connecting to and communicating with them on LinkedIn.

The article seems to be concerned with the first part of this - does connecting to someone on a social media site constitute recruitment?

This seems to completely miss the meat of the lawsuit buried on the second page of the article:

The TEKsystems complaint lists a specific example of a LinkedIn communication where Hammernik appears to be inviting a employee of the firm to join her new company.
Oh, I wasn't saying that explosives were the right way. I'm just trying to show that I'm at least thinking about the problem a little rather than asking a dumb question. :P Thanks for the information.
I think the "newness" of it all could be alleviated simply by posting traffic officers at both intersections for the first month or so of usage. People are always more alert when they see a cop a round and they will be there on the spot if any issues arise.
I was really hoping for an i3. What is the deal with Apple and old CPUs?
Wow, fascinating, thanks. 2004 for the civil war widow is remarkable!
I believe the link has been updated since I posted my comment. At the time, it took my iPad to the YouTube front page.
Mike Tyson may be the exception to this rule.
The link was non-functional when I tried it, at least on my iPad. It works fine now.
You know no one is disallowing you from using whichever tools and methods you want, right? Just as people are welcome to write assembler code, you are allowed to go back to oldschool photography. There is a reason, however, people generally will move on to more convenient things.
> That data size fits easily in memory, and without doubt on a single system. From that point you only need some degree of parallelism to maximize the performance. That being said when its 35TB of data, the answer starts to change.

Not at all, because data is being streamed. It could just as easily be 35TB and only use a few MB of RAM.
What, you cannot imagine an advanced but cruel civilisation?
> The shell is just not suitable for extremely robust programs.

Absolute statements like this are usually wrong. This one does not escape the rule. When Linux distros init is mostly bash scripting, there is very little need to further prove that robust systems can be written in bash scripting without the language fighting the developer.
I'm not sure I accept that tolerance is too hard to teach, therefore we should allow people to avoid other cultures. I think many small issues is preferable to a few large ones, in this case.
Pretty much everything has an expiry date because the manufacturer has guaranteed its still effective up to that date. Doing that requires time and money. This doesn't mean the masks doesn't work after the expiry date (although it might be less effective) simply that the performance isn't guaranteed and most likely hasn't been tested sufficiently.
"The swans in the viral posts regularly appear in the canals of Burano, a small island in the greater Venice metropolitan area, where the photos were taken. The “Venetian” dolphins were filmed at a port in Sardinia, in the Mediterranean Sea, hundreds of miles away. No one has figured out where the drunken elephant photos came from, but a Chinese news report debunked the viral posts: While elephants did recently come through a village in Yunnan Province, China, their presence isn’t out of the norm, they aren’t the elephants in the viral photos, and they didn’t get drunk and pass out in a tea field."

Neither does any of the rest of it, honestly. Tattoos decay. It won't matter that you got tooth implants. Your pacemaker won't matter, it'll be recycled or trashed. Most of us will just be forgotten. And that's all OK.

But things like that can mean that while you were alive, you were happier.
It's my impression that at this point in time, eroding trust in a targeted way is very easy, and there's plenty of people doing it, out of partisanship, greed, or even plain stupidity. The collective "we" have allowed trust in genuine experts to be low and brittle.

So, it makes sense for experts to put little value in trying to preserve it, when trying to balance the value of other courses of action. It sucks, but in their shoes I would do the same.
What do you have in your food forest so far? When my dad lived with us he always kept a veggie garden, I'm thinking of trying to bring something like that back.
Still according to factcheck.org, with links to contemporaneous news articles indicates that all trump admin budgets are higher than the last obama one (fy17).

Doing some more analysis it seem that the figures you posted include emergency funding the cdc received for things like zika. These are not part of the standard budget. For example in fy16, they include retained funds for swine flu which expired. If you remove these you as the trends reported in the news.
Looks like we've found the solution to global warning.

All it took was a government mandate that folks who can and should be working from home do so.

Hopefully we all have the common sense to continue this long term, mother earth deserves a break
That's based upon normal metabolism and if you calorie reduce your metabolisim will also slow down, you also need vitamins to help the body work and some will be need to break down fat into energy.

Vitamins and minerals are not something you can reduce without effect/impact. So do factor that into any calorie reduction.

This and body fat only goes so far and as a metric is often flawed in measurement as any rugby or certain sports physics can attest. This is large muscle mass often mess's up those scale calculations and with that, many a fit muscular person will fall into the obese box as muscle weighs more than fat.

Also it's not just fat that gets broken down into energy, muscle is affected as well.

As everything it is a fine balance.

Given all that, eating normal alternate days is a safer approach for many.
Why is there an assumption that the inflammation comes from anything other than the mind state of depression itself?
Really? This is getting toward a deeper link? I don't know about that.
Money, and in the end, politics. The Shuttle, as implemented, was not really what NASA wanted, but they needed to make design compromises to support certain use cases the Air Force told they need, including launching spy satellites to polar orbits and potentially capturing enemy satellites and bringing them down in one piece. The compromises were made but the Air Force had changed their mind in the meantime and those use cases were never actualized.
Awesome, thanks already for putting some time on it. You will easily find my email if you need help playing with pgloader internals and stuff.
The story of Olivetti is another sad story of great business created by visionary people like Adriano Olivetti, and destroyed by the same old ignorant people that run the country.

When Olivetti was in financial troubles, a task force of government people and people from other industries (FIAT, cited in the video at "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYB2oBc1BpA", linked in another post) gathered together not to help Olivetti, but just to sell it.

They just did not understand what they were dealing with.
We don't expect it, and yet that's exactly what they do.

The fact that it's illegal to give my friend a sandwich in some cities sickens me.

http://www.infowars.com/feeding-the-homeless-banned-in-major...

Edit: I realize making feeding homeless illegal and outright killing them is different -- But the tragedy of these laws is palpable. Those that vote for them either grossly misunderstand the issue, or would simply do whatever they can to get rid of homeless, or both.
Major difference between public market valuations vs private market valuations.

Particularly, liquidation preference & anti dilution.
My wife and I used DoorDash pretty extensively when we first moved to the bay area, we were living out of a hotel for a few weeks.

It was interesting how our reactions to the site differed. I was just happy to have a one-stop list of delivery restaurants with no phone calls, no complicated payment info, etc.

Her reaction was "There's no pictures! I just want someone to tell me what I want to eat!"

Now, whenever I go to their homepage I see a huge missed opportunity to sell advertising. As sites like DoorDash become well-known hubs for the logistics services they provide, I wonder if they will take advantage of the huge set of eyeballs landing on their homepage with open wallets. And for a restaurant, a well-done DoorDash campaign could be more effective than Facebook/TV/radio marketing.

I do see myself stuck with a bit of a paralysis of choice when I land on their homepage. Sure, there's 50 restaurants near me that I can order from, but all I really know is that I'm hungry right now. Some help choosing would be nice.
I share your opinion, but I would have passed on a Twitter seed round so what do I know.

What would really be interesting is to understand why so many smart and experienced people have the exact opposite opinion.
'Most' of us were not born 'in any given month'. That doesn't mean we weren't born 'at all'. Inaccurate headline.
I'd probably rethink the "heart" thing. Watching hearts flutter over a flaming collapsed building doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies.
Could someone who knows about these things, compare Z3 with the Google or-tools? (https://code.google.com/p/or-tools/)

Pro's/Con's of the two?
One of React's selling points is that it uses a virtual DOM to minimize the amount of manipulations it does to the real DOM - http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/reconciliation.html.

The virtual DOM is an implementation detail (riot could re-render everything on each change), but it's what makes React fast, and good for handling big apps.

I don't think you can call a lib "react-like" if it doesn't have something like the virtual dom diff. You could say it has react-like syntax, maybe.

That said, I have been following riot for a while and I always liked its minimalistic approach. Maybe I will give it another look now that it is 2.0

EDIT: I somehow missed the big subtitle which says "Virtual DOM" on the website. It clearly states that Riot has something similar to React's. I can't explain know how I managed to not see it. Thanks to everyone who called me out.
The irony is that in this case, the phrase: "It works perfect on my PC" was not said by the developer rather by his client.
We contacted leaders in our industry that we knew personally from networking, and asked them to beta it. We had a new product that hadn't been seen before in our industry, directed specifically and precisely for their needs, and we proved that they would save money immediately. So, we piqued their interest and got them to invest their time in the beta.

Other people we contacted were active people in the active industry forums. This helped get the word out by way of trust.

Zimbra 6 supports remote wipe too.

I wouldn't want it here with the reason being "so we can have an argument about the merits of net neutrality." I would hope that there would be something concrete, interesting, or new about the arguments presented in the essay, or that some recent current events applied to make it worth noting, and then it would be nice to discuss the interesting new thing.

That may have been true for the first TSA post about backscatter scanners and pat-downs, for example. But it wasn't true for most of the next hundred.
Let's see, they had an N of 12. Not statistically viable for logging what carrier performs better where. This is most clearly visible in the express packaging differences between FedEx and USPS which uses FedEx and they even mentioned it in their article. Bet it was fun doing/writing about it though.
The curious thing about the demand for bytecode in browsers is that there doesn't seem to be a practical reason to do it. Bytecode doesn't seem to bring better performance, as flash doesn't outperform javascript. And web developers don't seem to want to use other languages, given that aside from GWT (almost) nobody cross-compiles from another language. Javascript-to-javascript compilation (closure compiler) is more popular than cross-language compilation.

It's more likely at this point that the server-side world will standardize on javascript than that the browser will gain a method for supporting other languages natively.
Is this why Saturday + Sunday is commonly known as the Weekend?
It was mostly a joke, I've just gotten tired of the "I has [blank]" and 1337-speak.
> Furthermore, short of magic, there is no way to send a relevant subset of the crowd sourced data to an iPhone without first knowing both the location of the iPhone and its unique identity.

If you consider recording the id of the cell tower the phone is connected to magic..
The difference is that MooTools and Prototype modify the built in Function. Because of this, old versions of MooTools, and Prototype don't play nice with current browsers. This a a big reason jQuery won the war. function() {}.bind() is more convenient and cleaner, but $.proxy() will work regardless of whether Microsoft incorrectly implements a built in bind in their latest browser.
The reason that a larger number of hardware startups have recently appeared is quite simple - these are mostly actually software companies. Modern hardware that a startup might produce - IoT stuff, small computers etc - are essentially bare-minimum hardware wrappers around black-box chips.

The complexity of developing hardware is driven by the number of discrete components used. Every additional resistor is a resistor which can be fitted wrong. Every additional analogue circuit built using discrete components is a huge risk. To build cheap hardware, you avoid all that as much as possible by building PCBs which just wire up highly functional ICs.

In essence your hardware company then becomes a software company.

CPI does not cover either house prices (it covers rents, and imputed rends for home owners) or employer-paid/government-paid healthcare (it covers out-of-pocket expenses and add-on insurance only).

If you are interested in house prices, look for the Case/Shiller phouse price index, if you are interested in health care costs, look for the PPI components of drugs, hospital services, medical devices etc.

To counter your implied assertion - no, CPI is not being manipulated, but house price/CPI ratio has risen because mortgage rates are low, and medical care costs as a whole have risen mainly because of (a) proportionately more fat and old people, (b) agency problems in the health insurance model (overprescription/overtreatment out of defensiveness even if it is not cost effective).
Don't use SPAs, switch back to traditional server side rendering.
I was looking at the various APIs the project sources for data and was wondering does Bloomberg aggregate data sources from other vendors or does Bloomberg produce it's own market data for their terminals?
Correct. People who hold more equity have more control. This is easily seen in small businesses on the Balance Sheet with only one or two owners, you can quickly determine who put more money into the business, assuming no investors.

This becomes more complex as you go from small business to startup with investors to a larger business, but the principles remain the same.

Nobody starts a business to have others dictate to them what to do with their business, and to be told whose interests they should really be serving. I’m not sure why you would expect that to change just because the company in question is valued at over a trillion.
Haha, hi Vlad and thanks for the kind words!
In US, one could argue Apple has a monopolistic position on Smartphone. Today, the iPhone has 66% market share in the United States, 75% of U.S. App Store revenues, and over 80% of time spent on the mobile internet.
It's the Pareto principle: A small portion of the market is where most of the money is.
I've read it can be that high, but the $40k amount, I believe is an average.
Can you provide a source for this...?

The Wired article covering this has a note clarifying that both Moxie and Signal own no MobileCoins, and that he's been a paid advisor to the project.

>Signal's choice of MobileCoin is no surprise for anyone watching the cryptocurrency's development since it launched in late 2017. Marlinspike has served as a paid technical adviser for the project since its inception, and he's worked with Goldbard to design MobileCoin's mechanics with a possible future integration into apps like Signal in mind. (Marlinspike notes, however, that neither he nor Signal own any MobileCoins.)

Dotted notecards.

Dotted stationary is a good tradeoff-between guidelines for writing and free space for drawing.
When I checked her bio, the first thing that I thought was, "damn this person is extremely privileged".
Are these kinds of people just completely blind to just how privileged they are compared to normal folk?
Point taken.

I always recommend and use the specific ISO8601 format

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ

(or drop the ".sss" if not needed), and be 100% consistent about it.

But you are right, I shouldn't refer to this as "use ISO8601" because it is only one of the numeous possible formats described by that spec.
Iiiiinteresting. Thanks for the heads up, I'll file an Issue and check it out.
Sort of, yes. I dunno how many "strong atheists" there really are. The distinction itself seems borne out of a misconception.

I think the "not skiing"-style example is very illustrative of the actual mental model atheists have, and importantly works relatively well in most languages to explain the concept of lack of belief which the "opponent" — someone espousing a belief — has a hard time understanding.

So most atheists don't really insist that a god cannot possibly exist, merely that one doesn't according to available evidence, and as such can and should be ignored. Exactly in the same way I do not take into account leprechauns when making decisions, they are a non-factor.

Edit: mind, I do agree there are some quite argumentative and belligerent atheists.
So the requires statement just helps the class enforce certain operations?

Like for instance, the class Button would need to implement the void Start(); function?
I've been working 4d/week for 4 years for a small Belgian company. I'm a software engineer.

I've never got any complain from my manager, employer or colleagues about it.

I'm usually taking my day off on Friday. All my colleagues know it, so we will try to schedule meetings for which I'm required on other days. If that's not possible (it only happens a few times per year), I'm flexible enough to take my time off some other day.

I might be 90% as productive compared to when I was when working full-time. This difference is probably too low to be noticeable by anybody else in the team.

My gross got reduced by 20%. But considering the way taxation works in Belgium, I'm only getting about 10% less on my bank account. I also got promoted to a senior role since then, which entirely offset the difference anyway.

While it has been working extremely well for me (I spent the additional free time doing physical activities and launching my personal project [1]), it might be harder/impossible to get into higher positions (team leader, project manager...) while working part-time.

I'm sure you think that; would you be prepared to explain why? I have read the article.
Which sport?
> Matrix/Element is the platform less likely to pull something like this

Agree, I've been using Matrix/Element, and it's a bit slower/buggy but seems like it'll be around for longer.
IMHO if Rust had a "proper" way to transpile to C, then a "C-style subset" of Rust would be a perfect library-implementation language and something like Wuff wouldn't be needed.
I hope that at some point Google starts pruning away closed SO questions from its index. That will give the user a better search experience.
Enstore is running on Django, right? Did you run into any gae specific issues?
Actually, I've been kind of doing that in the past couple of weeks: I'm working on a project for which I don't really need the net (except for reference/doc sometimes) but I get distracted with Facebook, Twitter, HN, back to Facebook…

So, instead of Starbucks, I started to go to our building's TV room where I can't get Internet access. It helps a lot. In case I really need to look up something, I still have my iPhone, but EDGE speed is a good deterrent.
I did not know about this.

It would be a nice thing to add to 'Learning Python' (unless I missed it), and to some web Python howtos. It gets the point across.
So if they're already blocked off, why is it a legal requirement for US companies to block them?
"routing links through this service will eventually contribute to the metrics behind our Promoted Tweets platform and provide an important quality signal for our Resonance algorithm"

So this is Twitter's Digg bar: they want to wrap and trace every link that goes in a Tweet? So much for all those custom bit.ly domains. So much for bit.ly.

These guys are going crass quick. @alex's decision to quit is less and less surprising.
I find the timing hilarious. Will Safari's Readability clone also block iAds? Can we get an add-on to block out annoying iAds in app store apps? Somehow I doubt it.
The second to the wall will be people who think Wikipedia artices are worth killing for.
So I guess the issue isn't that people on HN sometimes make emptily argumentative comment - but that people on HN vote them up.
Do you count the UK or just EU countries? London still has top class developer jobs going, but I assume it's much harder to get in nowadays.
