What's stopping people from scripting up clickspam? People already do this to competitors. Imagine what they'd do if there was direct profit.

And what's stopping advertisers from noticing this fundamental flaw?
I don't see the price point working. While I'm sorely tempted to shell out $300 for Adobe Lightroom, I am unwilling to use a service that charges me by the image. A subscription model might be more palatable to users.

Some cursory searching turned up FocusMagic, which operates as a Photoshop plugin or stand-alone and is billed at $45.

Edit: Sorry, I forgot to say that some of your examples are really impressive. Especially the goalie shot.

Users of the up-and-coming search site DuckDuckGo know that the site is unique because it doesn’t track history, contains less spam, features a cute bow tie-wearing duck, and provides zero-click information that immediately pops up under the search box.

Do not underestimate the bow tie-wearing duck feature. I'm sure Bing and Yahoo knockoffs are around the corner.
Interesting negotiations considering the insanely high amount of leverage Twitter has.

This is why I've stopped believing in giving to on-the-door charity pleas, or give-some-money-to-X-before-you-check-your-goods-out-at-the-checkout. It seems much better to properly research one or a handful of organizations and give to those, than to give to organizations you have hardly heard of because of the immediate social pressure.
Yawn... this is a company that has raised millions. They can do their own lobbying.
They look similar. I'd like to be proven wrong and GitHub make Sublime a more maintained and transparent project, but it's doubtful.
I hope if something like this gets passed, there will be a massive protest, not just in the streets, but everyone starting to use Tor, TextSecure and other such apps they are most worried about.
If (and I haven't been interested enough in Nim to investigate) it is indeed compiled to C and then compiled down to platform specific code, unless they are implementing functions differently, nested functions are not a standard part of C; they are a compiler extension (which GCC supports).

Not necessarily a problem, but unless implemented as something other than nested functions in C, there may be some portability issues. Worth investigating.
Isn't that what we are all expected to do? Apply our expertise and experience to the world to make it a better place. This man is obsessed with fungi. Can't blame him for trying to find novel uses for his obsession. But he isn't going to hand you a bag of mushrooms if there isn't data to back up the claim it will heal your bones.

He may suffer from hammer syndrome but he backs up his claims with experimental data. His bee research is fairly new. His research into human medicinal mushrooms has been reinforced by multiple studies around the world.
you mean for literally every piece of video taken everywhere..
Really like the simplicity of the testing integrated with it
Great - namesilo pricing has been added.
I don't agree here. This social network is a tool for one method of communication. It doesn't need to be a platform for all types of communication. By trying to excel at everything, it would do nothing particularly well.

You choose the right tool for the job. If a friend is in critical care at the hospital with life threatening injuries, do you really think "slow social" is the appropriate service to use? That's just being silly. As the name suggests, this service is designed for the opposite type of communication. It's like complaining that Sharpie markers should make thinner lines because sometimes you need to write complex notes. Or, that Ferrari should modify their cars because sometimes you need to tow a boat.
Opened this on my iPhone and it started running at 60 FPS with on screen controls and everything. Holy.

Brilliant.
They are two totally different services. Mailchimp lets you compose campaign emails. Whereas Sendgrid send transactional emails. Mandrill is Mailchimp's service for transactional emails.
oh ok, i only assumed cause I can't downvote yet haha
The term "OS virtualisation" is just fine here -- it refers to the support required to virtualise an operating system, which conventionally means the device driver, scheduler and memory interfaces. Providing such a layer lets any reinterpretation of "OS" still run above it.

Container-based technologies are far more nebulous in their definition, since it covers individual operating system concepts that don't quite migrate across distributions. FreeBSD jails, Solaris zones, LXC, MacOS X app sandboxes are all container-based virtualisation, but differ greatly in their details and specific interfaces.
Could you give some info on where to keep up with the latest on deep learning for the quasi-layman (I've got a bachelors in CS)?
Can anybody point me to the papers where scientists have actually "reverse engineered (...) regions of the brain" or present "highly detailed mathematical models of (...) neurons"?

As far as I know, research in those directions is nowhere near as sophisticated as Kurzweil tries to make us believe. The mathematical models for neurons I've seen may reproduce some firing statistics, but they are not at all suitable for actually modelling behavior of a system in response to a stimulus.
"this" can be collected in the body of a method, if the last reference dies before the method returns. It is treated no differently from the explicit method parameters.
It was pretty fun re-playing Space Trader in Classic on an HP TouchPad.

And now I'm searching for that Windows port: http://ticc.uvt.nl/~pspronck/spacetrader/STFrames.html .
> Yes, that seems to be the consensus, although I don't share it.

I know, you said:

>> There is an argument that the rationing/prioritization scheme that is currently in use is inherently unjust, and that no one is entitled to faster vaccination than anyone else.

I'm curious what that argument is.
Lol wish I had any jetsetters in my social circles. I would probably have a lot more money.

Anyways, how I did it was have a pre existing condition and act like a scalper. Appointments get taken within seconds of opening up, I assume many are writing their own bots.

I wrote something to notify me when a slot opened up and clicked links many times over a period of a week until a managed to get a spot.

I am in group 1B which is getting vaccinated here so I didn't feel it was unethical.

If you don't have a pre existing conditions that raises your risk (and you're rich) I suppose you could look up the US territories and zip codes with highest adminstration rates and travel there. Some are approaching 35% so they will be opening general doses for anyone soon
> Evil things have always been the primary driver of technology.

A big example is the space program. It came out of the desire to develop rockets that could reliably deliver nuclear bombs to kill millions of people in a matter of minutes.
Id like to see how this number has changed since 2016. Has the march toward media company consolidation increased during the Trump period?
I know people who are in their 30s with no pre existing conditions who have already been vaccinated because:

* they work for a hospital system (in IT)
* they work at a university (doing research)
* their family member has a pre existing condition (but somehow that family member is not the only one to get a vaccine)

In addition to this, smokers and those /who have already recovered from covid/ are lined up to get first /and second/ doses before I get a single dose. I think it's fair to think of the system the politicians have decided on as flawed; to use your rhetoric, it literally ends lives to waste 2 doses on those who have already recovered from the illness. If gp wishes to apply his own sense of rationality to the process, I don't blame him.
Hundreds of millions of people would pay 5x the current price to get the vaccine faster. I feel like the policy of governments getting a monopoly on vaccine distribution is stopping companies in competing for speed of vaccine production and building more factories.
It's been distressing watching people being shamed for taking too much or the wrong type of precautions.

A general rule for good Linux support (not just Ubuntu) is to avoid Broadcom wifi. Get Intel wifi, and Intel graphics. Or, as you say, something that is Ubuntu certified.
I wonder if this will turn into the "Do Not Call" list situation, which advertisers seem to download and use as their "Call List" because it's just so easy and accessible.

Confirm your email is valid, and then add it to the list of "continue to spam" accounts.

This my experience also. In Norway if you want to log in to your bank you need a friggin Java Applet. With all the security issues with the Java applet this year, maintaining the Java installation became really painful for my grandfather.

So I suggested Ubuntu with Unity, configured for automatic updating of software in background. I first gave him a new computer with a fresh installation, so he could try it for a few weeks first. Surprisingly it went very well (I usually have a few minor problems myself). He learned to use Unity within just a few minutes. He could use it with the Norwegian language(as he don't know english), and it worked great with increased DPI for less strain on his eyes.

Now it's been a few months, and he has not complained once! In fact, he tells me only good things about it! About how much faster it is, how much easier it is to read and how much easier it is to use the computer now.

While Unity is not a very useful desktop environment for myself, it is certainly great for people who mostly need easy access to a few applications.
"Don't know what all the fuss is about", "good enough for me" may mean that you have low standards as much as it might mean other people are faffing about needlessly. Perhaps your friends are just being polite and laugh at your cheapskate ways when you're not there.
Twitter is not exactly a forum for well-considered insightful comments. A "fail" twitter is not that significant - more on the order of a wtf exclamation, which I emit many times when trying any new program.

That said, as a guy that likes to get bug reports (better than NOT getting them and really failing), it helps to have ANY details, not "it doesn't work" but "on the Score page, hitting Profile does nothing" kind of thing.
I'm not sure why people marked this down, I thought it was pretty funny :)
Unicorn and thin are both written in ruby with the core being the ragel HTTP parser which was first implemented in mongrel. Thin took that ragel parser and added eventmachine to the mix which made it much faster the mongrel. Unicorn went a step further by leveraging the kernel in such a way that things got even faster. Macournoyer, creator of thin was working on thin-turbo, a rewrite of the thin backend in C but stopped a while back. Passenger I guess because its nginx or apache module has to be C but their focus was never performance, more ease of deployment. Passenger 3 will have performance improvements and they've got benchmarks here http://blog.phusion.nl/2010/06/10/the-road-to-passenger-3-te... but I'm thinking mongrel2 will one up it.
Even though you're getting a different reaction, I wouldn't take it to heart.

One of the reasons for my move was that it aligned what made me happy, helping others, and making a living all in one. If that's the same for you moving from side projects to your main projects, more power to you!

Out of curiosity, what part of the country are you in?
Straight from the horse's mouth (http://blog.mongodb.org/post/103832439/the-agpl):

"To say this another way: if you modify the core database source code, the goal is that you have to contribute those modifications back to the community.

Note however that it is NOT required that applications using mongo be published. The copyleft applies only to the mongod and mongos database programs. This is why Mongo DB drivers are all licensed under an Apache license. You application, even though it talks to the database, is a separate program and “work”."
The most important factor to success is hard work. It applies to starting companies as much as it applies to getting into college. You can apply to Stanford and MIT with perfect grades and a perfect SAT score, and they'll still reject you! There are more people with perfect SAT scores than there are admission spots. To trim down the pool, the college has to look outside of schoolwork. That's where the extracurriculars come into play. In most cases, whether you have something to write on that list is determined by how hard-working you are, not by how smart you are. And once they see that you spent your time doing something great outside of school, the admissions people will forgive your less-than-stellar grades. An added benefit to the school that comes from choosing hard-working people over bookworms is that once the students graduate, the hard working people will go on to build great businesses and ... wait for it ... donate to the school!

Spend a few minutes putting yourself in the admission officer's spot and think about how you'd choose the next round of students.

Personally, I recommend focusing on your perseverance first, social smarts second, and book smarts third.

PS: I guarantee you that girl on the news getting fished out of the Indian Ocean right now will be attending Stanford when she turns 18.
It is that they delegated the operation of the rig to Transocean without doing adequate due diligence.
Freebies work, no denying it. Doesn't matter if its a pen, a keychain, a white paper download.

They're probably interested in your product - they Googled it after all, thats why they ended up there - but they have a dozen similar pages to quickly review. So no, interest doesn't mean they want to give you their email.
Hah, I haven't gotten that response yet. But I agree they most likely mean well. Unless Uncle Bob is a pain in the ass to work for :)
pretty interesting. How does the shopify integration work?
The consumer antenna I consider the most difficult part that could make or break any of these projects. OneWeb claims to have been making the most progress on this front in terms of cost. SpaceX has publicly announced there's would not be cost effective for most end users.
We covered the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, the muckrakers, and Roosevelt's war against trusts, but I don't ever recall hearing the name Eugene Debs, or say the Haymarket massacre.
Indiegogo and kickstarter?
I'm working on a web app to track bike fit: http://app.mybike.fit

I like to tinker with my fit to dial things in, but there are so many potential dimensions to tweak that it's easy to "get lost."

Long-term I envision it as version control for bike fit where you can make a change, test it, add some notes, and then decide whether or not to commit the change to your new baseline fit.

At this point, though, I've only implemented the input forms and a historical record.
yep, when programming had the status of academic or engineering discipline it was done in the offices, when it got down to "technical associate/stuff" it moved into cubicles, now it is just a blue collar job of the 21st century and thus it is done on an open factory floor.
I do know of at least one: Microsoft's NuGet now supports C++ packages.

Something tells me that isn't the answer folks are looking for.
In most open office environments where I worked, it was either quiet like in a "Library" or there were meeting-rooms where you just could go and isolate yourself.
Comparing Java's off heap allocation to golangs (or the CLRs) structs is pretty misleading isn't it? I mean there are all kinds of things you can do off heap to reduce gc, but the other platforms make it easy.
I think it's fascinating how wildly differing peoples' experiences are with this. I find system package managers nice for system administrators and applications, but for development, every one I've used is far less convenient than a purpose-built package ecosystem.
When Twitter banned the sitting POTUS, I learned from HN commenters that they are private business and can do whatever they want (TM)
One of the actual bullshit things about ADHD is that I often can't focus even on things I do like. Absolutely nothing convenient about that.
Everyone goes through this. You’re right. That’s why we have fairly common language for the experience. It’s human to feel all of these symptoms to some extent at some times. The differences are that the experience is debilitating for people with ADHD, much more frequent or omnipresent, and actually leads to substance abuse when untreated.

We’re not justifying anything. We want to be more well. Proper diagnosis, treatment and recognition helps with that.
Why not build their own internal system? They'll end up hiring SAP devs anyway, why not make use of the existing talent?
Yeah, what GitHub is doing by including the checksum is reinventing JWT, with HS256 precisely. They could also make it easy to grep (see other comment) by having the payload always start with the same prefix - if it starts with `{"gh":"` the jwt will contain `.eyJnaCI6I`

The subject doesn't need to be a user ID, and it sounds like they don't want that. It could be a session ID.
I don't get it either...

Yep - but from what I've seen in kids diagnosed as ADHD it's not really close, my nephew got diagnosed but realistically I can see myself being way worse at his age and still coming out functional without medication.
This makes me want to try this app.
What you're looking for is the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, not the PATRIOT Act for limiting tort liability for vaccine manufacturers. Which is pretty much a precondition for doing business developing vaccines to address emergency vaccines.

Presumably you are a start-up minded person. Would you do business if someone said "We need you to implement some very complex code, rush it into production on our timetable, and if there's a hiccup, your users will sue you into oblivion."
How's the cost of living compare to NYC or SF?
Hey this is really strange. My user agent was not set (I thought but it was a different issue) and so I googled other solutions besides System.setProperty("http.agent", ""); and so I stumbeled over this entry. Nothing related to your finding :)

Then I posted it on twitter and yesterday on hackernews. That's why I thought that it was my finding. Sorry :)
Wow, that's a browser bug? Thanks. (And yes, Chrome 80552)
That would be appropriate advice for a large slice of the population, so I don't see the problem there.
Could be possible to write these extensions as bash plugin libraries -- I've long thought about adding such features this way, but haven't had the time or pressure enough to really need it yet.
I have a friend who's been getting into it. As he tells me prices and how much can be made per day with various video cards, versus dedicated mining ASIC's, I do quick mental calculations. It seems like all of the options seem to be market priced at a payback around 8-10 months. Given the current mining furor, I'm doubting that consumer-grade equipment will be very profitable in another year. If you already had the hardware for Bitcoin, you're probably cleaning up on Etherium, but to start now? You're really only going to make money once the next currency catches on. I don't know. Maybe this is only a fiction I tell myself to avoid feelings of missing out on something fun and interesting, and potentially profitable.
Actually, in developing countries there is a lot of money to be made by optimizing fruit picking and pruning afterwards.

Mango farms are a pretty good example. Old farmers have grown their trees very tall and let the fruit grow as big as possible. It is very difficult for pickers to harvest the fruit. If you train the pickers to prune the trees and ensure a consistent size you can often plant more trees, have each tree bear more but smaller fruit with superior yield.

Because of the decreased height fruit pickers can harvest more fruit per shift and the risk of fruit falling to the ground and only being used in food processinng is minimized. Overall it's a net gain for poor farmers and fruit pickers in Africa and consumers benefit from a greater availability mangos.

These techniques are very common in developed countries though.
The announcement was written for Reddit’s customers (VC and ad providers), not their users, so this makes total sense.
Quite a bit of Chinese investment though, no? Different thing entirely but may be of interest to some.
Good summary. And it’s common for apps that might not otherwise have a URL handler to have one for things like authentication callbacks from login with Facebook, emails from the app, etc.
Ultimately, the CEO should take responsibility for everything. Finger pointing is not a leadership skill.
Thank you, that was the thing I was looking for.
That's not an HSA then - that's a 'cafeteria plan' thing I bet. HSA is your own account via an HSA-capable banking institution. It's basically just another IRA, but you can pay for medical expenses from it with no penalties.

The 'cafeteria plans', IMO, are a bit of a joke, specifically because of the 'use it or lose it' clause, which forces people to waste money or buy stuff they don't need.

I did have one HR person tell me once that they'd cut you a check back for the diff if it wasn't spent, but then it counts as 'taxable income' and this was said with some degree of gravity, as if that was some type of 'ultimate sin' - having taxable income! I'd rather keep the 70% of my money rather than spending it on something vaguely 'medical' that I do not need, thank you.
What is a mainstream Arab?
The black swan strikes again and we all know how and why only after it happens.

Except of course this should not have been a black swan to BP and regulators.
Images suggesting oral sex, hand jobs, and anal sex... I would ban it too.
You mean combining vector and raster layers in one image? Krita does that -- has been doing that since 2006. It's not perfect, but it's there...
The big question is ... How much did Yahoo get for the company ?
This is incredible. I think Google is doing a great job of transitioning from a startup to a big company. They have so many things like this, 20% time, and letting tech guys focus on tech and still get promotions. I feel like they are trying to make themselves the Mecca for brilliant technologists. If you aren't a startup with an "us" against the world mentality, you have to add compelling reasons to attract talent.
As someone who uses Instagram mostly on their phone but would rather use it on my laptop more, this looks pretty promising. Good job!
StartSSL's free cert don't support wildcards and the revocation of a cert is $25 per, which can be a problem (it was during Heartbleed).

I understand they also have a pretty bad interface and terrible customer service.
I'd been thinking about this for several years, but now I'm even more convinced: somebody will develop an all-vegetarian quick serve restaurant at national scale soon.
