I'm not sure if YouTube is autokilled, or it's marked as "easier to kill". There are a lot of off topic YouTube post.

I searched and I think that the submitted video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5LEEoskiaM . I think it's on topic and I hope the moderators revive the submission.
I would like to know too, as we are thinking of relocating to Bay Area from Seattle.
tl;dr: there's a reason most startups prefer javascript to smalltalk.

Which is a quality of a fundamentally broken organizational system

No, it's a quality of a robust organizational system. Let's take a program that parses html as an example. What would you think of an html parser that only works well with high quality, strictly structured html and breaks under poorly formatted html? You would call it a fragile, broken system. But a parser that deals equally well with low quality html would be a well thought out, robust system. And here's the key to the point I was making: the robust system could be relied upon to do its job consistently even under less than ideal conditions.

A system that requires exceptional engineers to maintain it is a huge source of risk for any company. If your current exceptional engineer leaves for whatever reason, you have to find another one. If the reason your engineer left is your company is suddenly facing insolvency thanks to a nasty patent dispute, all you may be able to afford to hire is a college grad to maintain what you've already got.
I'm always perplexed at how annoyed the dev community gets at recruiters. Sure, it's weird when they don't put forth an effort, but come on, you're getting unsolicited job offers multiple times a week! We're EXTREMELY lucky that our industry is flourishing right now. So many people have been unemployed for months (years) and they can't so much as get a phone-call.

Take the recruitment as flattery. If you're not interested, delete it and move on. Better yet, forward it to someone who might be interested.
You can't stop existing Bitcoin users from trading amongst themselves, but it can be made very impractical to acquire Bitcoin with money.

The government can easily isolate Bitcoin exchanges (and any other entity it chooses) from the USD banking infrastructure. Put them on the OFAC list (or similar) and they won't be able to get bank accounts, accept wire/ACH transfers, work with credit cards, or use any other money transmitting service.

Transfers of paper cash in person would be the only option, and a campaign of well-publicized Bitcoin-for-cash sting operations could easily make this too risky for most people.

ASICs are, well, application-specific. It's not exactly easy to fabricate hardware in secret, and there are no excuses to hide behind when you've got a warehouse full of Bitcoin mining rigs.
I can't believe noone linked this so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uoM5kfZIQ0&hd=1
Stash may not be the cash cow that JIRA is but it seems to make more money than Bitbucket does. My assessment of Atlassian's approach to Bitbucket is based on me observing them handling tickets for it (stonewalling for years), and other users' observations on the difference in the way they handled BB vs Stash. The silence from Atlassian on some years-old Bitbucket tickets is deafening...

Let me just drop this here: https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issue/8436/not-all-github-... shows that Atlassian can't even be bothered to make it easy for people to migrate to Bitbucket, their repo import tool cannot handle the pagination the github.com API does. They can't be bothered to let people paying to Github pay them instead. My guess is: they don't care about your $5 (or whatever puny amount it is) payment for private Bitbucket repos, they care more about the $XX,000 they get from every Stash license sold. And mentions on Bitbucket tickets make it look like Stash is quite popular in some corporate circles.

NB: GHE may be superior in every way, but does it integrate with JIRA as well as Stash does? What if you've already invested in JIRA and want to add a repository management platform? (Also, don't underestimate the portion of the market "terrified of the cloud".)
Presumably, that rating scales has higher numbers meaning less succinctness? Because otherwise the order of the numbers (much less there relative values) doesn't make any sense, even though that's kind of the opposite of what you'd expect of a "succinctness level".
beautiful writing David.
What I see reads like an advertisement for a security company. It was not informative.

Schools are already one of the safest places for a child to be. Violent crime in schools, like violent crime in general, has been decreasing over the last few decades.
That's a cool idea. It would also be cool to see this kind of thing more often at cafés or restaurants. I'm introverted, but I also like meeting people and would often prefer a decent conversation to eating or hanging out alone. I assume plenty of others are the same, but the threat of awkwardness/rejection keeps people from striking something up. This seems like a nice low key way to get around that.

I did some backpacking in Europe on my own several years ago, and one of the better experiences was a hostel in Prague that provided cheap home cooked meals in a dining room with big group tables. Made it really easy to meet people and was the time when everyone made plans for the day/night, so I always had the option of attaching to a group if I wanted to. I was only there for a week, but the group of travelers there at that time actually became fairly close knit, and I'm certain it was primarily due to the group meals.
Hey, I appreciate you +1'd my comment but it's better not to do that. The ideal on HN is for every comment to be worth reading. If you want to draw attention to a worthy comment and are frustrated the votes are hidden, just contribute something to the discussion. The subthread will grow and more readers will notice the comment and your reply to it.
The best place I ever worked at was small: ~7 people.

We ate together every day. Every day of the week, it was someone's duty to make lunch. I mean that, make it. You started an hour before lunch, went to the kitchen and made a meal. Generally a full hot meal. We got every variety you could think of - people enjoyed the time out creating someting different, something else for their co-workers to enjoy, and it Worked.

We got to sit outside, in the garden, next to the pool, and eat lunch (and yes, there was beer). And if it was Friday, well. Then we started a fire, and had some more beer. And there may have been instruments. And our respective children running about.

Not bad for a bespoke dev company. Not bad at all.

To address some of the other points raised in the comments -

No-one was forced to be there, if they wanted to go out for lunch they could. Few did, and rarely. More important than an individual's 'desire to associate' is whether they fit in. If they don't, they likely don't belong on that team. Ditto for if they can't communicate honestly (positively or negatively) about/with peers/managers.
Letting in everyone who wants to come is not pure upside, it can be incredibly disruptive if not managed.

That said, we should be putting a lot more effort into letting the cream of the crop settle without any hassle. International students at top engineering/science schools should have the red carpet rolled out for them. If they're good enough to get into MIT or Caltech, or a school like IIT abroad, they should be actively courted.
Wow, that is friggin awesome! I just lost a while exploring my Twitterverse. Well done.
There are 16 official moderators on the #haskell channel, as well. I apologize (as one of those moderators) if the OP has had a bad experience: with so many people in the channel, not everyone gets exactly what they need, however, we do try very very hard to be friendly.

The principles of the channel require this, http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/IRC_channel#Principles -- if an op has treated you unfairly, please let us know, and we can correct the situation.
I'm in Vancouver, so know OF this firm.

Perhaps they could recommend someone in your area.
Hmm, I actually hoped for Clojure on Node.js (don't get me wrong, Scheme is beautiful and this seems to be quite a capable implementation but Clojure is way more practical) but hmm, I hope this gets popular.
I can't find the original article unfortunately, but I can provide a bunch of information that supports that claim:

* Well, meat is no a large (or any) part of the diet of people in many of the poorer parts of the world.

* Animal sources, are the only real sources of vitamin B12 (though yeast is an animal source, so this doesn't necessarily mean 'mammals' or 'fish').

* Feces contains B12[1][2]

* B12 is water soluble.

* In parts of the world where the water is 'untreated,' it is contaminated with feces to some amount. Obviously, the more people and animals that use the water source, the more this is true.

[1] http://www.beyondveg.com/billings-t/comp-anat/comp-anat-7c.s...

[2] http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/parenting/detail?entry_i...

There was a single article that made that claim, but I can't find it right now. All I can provide...

-- later --

I found this: http://books.google.com/books?id=CF2INI0O6l0C&pg=PA209&#...

Not the original source that I read, but states:

Vitamin B12 is not found in vegetables: it is available,
however, from faecally contaminated water, and this source
is important in the poorest vegetarian societies.

So if you went to such a society and decontaminated their water supply, you would end up with a population suffering from B12 deficiency.
Not always, that is only used to sort comments at the same level. Often a root comment may have had 2 or 3 points and a counter argument contained some useful insight and would be upvoted to 30+
Skim reading would allow me to spot this comment contains something worth reading...
To be fair, the Denver/Boulder area has a ridiculous number of semi-pro cyclists, and commuting on your race bike is a convenient way to cram training miles into a busy schedule. (but they do look silly, regardless)
Anecdotal, subjective reports. Real rigorous; I can see why someone should find this convincing.
also Openshift.

But clearly, unlimited "limited" Free cloud hosting will be over in a few years.

hobbyist devs and students really need to prepare for this.
This is the reason I haven't really been excited about a surface yet. It's really too bulky to be used as a tablet for prolonged periods of time and the keyboard/stand is not really that comfortable to be used as a laptop for prolonged periods of time.

Full windows also just means 'legacy apps', which have no touch support nor scaling. Sure you can connect this to a monitor and use it with a standard mouse/kb combo but at that point what is the real advantage of the Surface itself?
The fact that someone is rich does not mean he took anything from you, no matter how poor you are. Statements like "If poor people knew how rich rich people are, there would be riots in the streets" are not only stupid but also dangerous.
But iPads and Android tablets don't have a UI that practically requires the precision of a trackpad. Obviously you don't have to use the Desktop on your Surface 3, but Microsoft is clearly pushing that as a core feature.
Cool, I've added it to the list of financial DSL resources at http://dslfin.org/resources.html

What application domain are you working in that you know all the currencies at compile-time?
This is very interesting. On a tangential note about Shkreli. I took a break and I remembered in the Facebook senate hearing a senator said to Zuck, "Who elected you to make decisions about what stays on the internet and what doesn't?" . This is tangentially related in the matters of Shkreli. Why it would be ethical for Shkreli to take this "moral burden" of doing the right thing and invest in innovation by essentially indirectly taking money from taxpayers? I am using the word ethical because the US government doesn't think price gouging illegal. He is nobody's champion and surely he is not elected. It is a very interesting idea.

I guess for decisions about pharma research like this having an elected body or representation of an elected body is a good thing.
This sort of coordination is exactly what free markets do. There's no conspiracy or coordination other than that. You may as well imply that there was some sort of coordination between every marketing department releasing an ad saying "In these uncertain times..." last March.

The coup failed, the dust settled, Biden will be inaugurated, and most importantly, the Democrats took control of the Senate for the next two years. Ajit Pai announced that he's dropping his plan to creatively reinterpret Section 230 because he won't get the rulemaking done in time. The consensus of the country and the world is that the far right has crossed a line, and there is significant public sentiment against the platforms that enabled them. It is suddenly no longer net profitable to keep them around. Every platform independently came to the same conclusion at the same time because they saw the same facts.
Burning all your alt accounts to evade a forums ban is basically the 90s internet.
Another variant is by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the most intolerant win.

why? twitter isn't the government, nothing is stopping anyone's free speech.
I didn't get around to actually doing something nice, but rather than leave things hanging I dumped my docker-compose file + some notes (that might be mostly useless) here: https://controlc.com/fbe73ad3. When I move it to a different machine, as this was originally just out of curiosity until it worked so well, I'll make sure to write something more usable up.

It's been ~6 weeks since I set it up and it's been working since the first time without any modifications, so I honestly forget some of what I did. The general flow is: configure the bridges (config.yaml), integrate them with Synapse (registration.yaml), add your Matrix user, then configure the bridge users.
Welcome to the next chapter in our globally connected "society".

He has been using the platform for a long time and spreading all kinds of misinformation but Twitter did not take any action against him in the past. The platforms are available for anyone to behave in a civil manner and not cause unrest in the country.
Yes it would be unjustified. Election officials and workers would not risk their personal livelihood and jail time just to see their candidate maybe win. And if they would I believe they wouldn't have stopped at just the president, but would have given House Democrats more seats. Then again this is all based on your delusional demonization of poll workers and election officials with no basis in reality. It honestly sounds like you've never voted in person or even volunteered to work at a polling center.
Well, good riddance to Trump.

But the only thing I'm really worried about, is that his most extreme followers will feel even more marginalized - which could make the echo chambers even more dangerous.

I don't think these actions are as much coordinated, as they simply are a cascade of reactions. But from the outside, especially to those living in a bubble, it certainly would look like a surgical strike on Trump and his followers.

That alone, could absolutely elevate the "deep state conspiracy" psychosis to even more dangerous heights.

How long until some of the nutjobs actually start using their pipebombs and IED's?
Erich Fromm came to mind as well. The same ideas and themes also appear in the books of Hermann Hesse.
Yeah the synced "official ecosystem" was one of Vue's advantages over React but the Vue3 transition has weakened that.

First vue-router and vuex were not ready when vue3 was released.

Now Evan You says in this very submission that Pinia is the new store library? I thought that it was destined to be vuex v5 or vuex v5's starting point, after the not-so-great v4. Very confusing. (I didn't even know about Pinia until last week actually, when looking about progress on vuex getters caching).

I'm not even sold on the Composition API. It makes sense when I read the doc but basically never when I'm in my actual projects.
Because service animals are protected under the ADA. If folks could unilaterally reject working around service animals, we'd put the folks most at need at a significant detriment.

If you work in a customer facing capacity, you should be prepared to encounter service animals, full stop.
> the wikipedia page of that name [1] contains zero actual successful examples of it working.

I will also point out that this page does not contain the letters "Novell" anywhere within it.
Then they shouldn't be in the rideshare business. Or any job that requires direct contact with customers.

If you work in retail you don't have the choice to avoid someone with a service dog either. It's just easier to ask your coworker to take over for you.
> less people died due to Mao's atrocities in China than due to regular old poverty in India, despite them starting at the same spot

What is the source of that?

Note also that China had deaths both from poverty and Mao dictatorship.
Those are '20-foot equivalent Containers' so more like half that. But then you have to factor in the loading time, unloading time, space needed, cost, etc.

I see it kind of like a station wagon full of tapes, versus a fast internet pipe. The station wagon can possibly move more, but has much, much more latency. (and that analogy doesn't account for the time to load/unload the tapes onto the computer systems)
I have to say, I prefer the illustrations in that Soviet version to the illustrated western version based on that cartoon movie. Smaug actually looks like a dragon, instead of a giant cat...
I think Mr O'Reilly is largely incorrect. He is espousing a tech utopian vision. Underlying that idea is that politics is redundant. That is born out of the (not wholly unjustified) frustration around the failure of politics in the west.

So what is politics replaced with? Some other system/s - computer networks, AI, 'the market'.

The appeal there is that they seem apolitical. They are not - they have baked in political ideas. Moreover they allow people with power to take political actions and can credibly that they are not political.

In essence they move people further away from having some say in issues that can significantly affect their lives. They lose power. They lose it directly - they have less say, and indirectly in that their arguments are harder against a supposedly apolitical non human entity.

Moreover the default of any such system is to maintain stability. Which in general gives most benefit to people who are already satisfied by the status quo. Tech people quite like the status quo right now.

Lastly and most importantly such systems have no vision of the future. That requires people.

The end result is a stasis, and increasing frustration from the people who aren't benefiting.

Much of this is covered well by the documentary 'All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace', which is now available on Amazon Prime.
How would you engage with his claim, that minimum wages don't actually guarantee wages - they just give employers this choice:

Pay minimum living wage
Don't hire someone

True minimum wage implementations like EITC [0] would get what we both want here!

Free hiring at the market price for employers, so they can hire very unskilled people at low wages, for them to gain experience (i.e. hiring homeless guys to pick up cans, which is currently so unprofitable that nobody does it)
The government makes up the living wage gap with effectively a "negative income tax" for low wage workers.

This satisfies us both, and fulfills the true vision of a "living wage" in ways that don't lock unskilled people out of the labor force.

In what way, exactly, am I compromising my security by entering random phone numbers into that input box?

Best case scenario, they link a phone number to my IP address which is dynamic. They can narrow my IP address down to the the general area, but phone number area codes already accomplish that.

People seem to forget that we used to have things called PHONE BOOKS which had people's addresses and phone numbers publicly available...
Not necessarily - think Waze GPS. That was pretty unique and innovative. Traffic data + crowd sourced real-time inputs let Waze uniquely route your path.

Imagine a Tesla cuts your average commute from 30 to 10 minutes, while you AFK and enjoy your coffee, vs the Ford vehicles that can let you AFK and enjoy your coffee, but you're still getting there 30 minutes on average. These kinds of "fringe" innovations are going to explode I think and even if they aren't innovative, they will help differentiate.
It was a pleasure learning from Aaron during YC. Perhaps best of all was his uncanny ability to take some pieced together ideas that founders had but which didn't make any sense and re-structure them into the most compelling and eloquent pitches I've ever heard. Can't wait to see how you apply yourself next!
And going back to Switzerland, I was at a festival a few years back which was almost cancelled due to potent protesting by several neighboring towns since the main sport-shooting range was at the same location as the festival's HQ. Thankfully the organizer was able to talk the mayor out of it. We later heard that a neighboring town was able to accommodate the sudden influx.

I've heard from friends there is a similar passion in many towns in Germany and Austria. I would venture a guess that outside many European cities shooting for sport is much more commonplace.
Order is significant, but you can also technically batch the results for a tournament (or a stage of a tournament) to mitigate this: you assume that within your batch the underlying 'skill' of every player does not change - so you calculate the overall shift for each player but do not apply this total shift until you've calculated it for all matches.
How is darklang related to dynamicland? I only found https://darklang.com/
It has to be. I'm assuming they used this internally until now.
There are no rocks in fields that have been cultivated for generations. Well, deep in the soil there are, but you won't find fungi down there.
Same question - what is PSL?

My best guess at the moment is Public Suffix List.
I love it. Some of these solutions are things I looked into during the early days of Android, before Google had cemented hegemony on so many things. Namely, Subsonic and K-9 Mail were some early contenders that I remember, although both quite clunky at that point (Subsonic very much had the patina of a one good developer, but no UI specialist, team).
Well one thing they also do is that pretty much any desired image is taken multiple times/multiple exposures, and multiple offset positions in close succession to remove exactly such artifacts. The images are then stacked, etc.

So this allows removal of effects that do not correlate with what is physically should be in the image, but is an artifact of the sensor, image system, etc:

-- sensor artifacts: dead pixels, flat field irregularity, pixel response variations, electronic noise

-- imaging system issues: optical problems, lens/mirror defects

-- and then exactly what's being discussed here: cosmic rays, transient objects (satellite tracks!)
