>It’s natural that Americans should have a weird and dissonant relationship with luxury products.

The only thing that's natural is writers and journalists grasping at straws to find poignant things to say about perceived controversies.

Nobody really cares.
Come on, that's like saying brakes don't work because if you don't press them then your car doesn't stop.

Of course if you're concerned about this you'd make sure every page is current int he cache.
Campus police may have similar (or the same) training as state police[1], apparently.

Yeah, but at least most other browser vendors merely distort the truth; here Microsoft purports to do an HTML5 feature comparison, and they don't even get around to mentioning <canvas>! That's flat-out lying about what it means to be an HTML5 Web browser.

Sigh... part of me really hoped that IE 9 would finally give Windows a standards-compliant built in Web client. But perhaps something about the culture surrounding the IE team is so fundamentally broken that we'll never see such a thing short of a major Microsoft reorganization.
With Lyme, if you take antibiotics (presumably Augmentin or something that will target the bacteria) you will get a Herxheimer reaction that will basically put you through a severe series of reactions such as joint pain, migraines, and other flu-like symptoms.

Provided the OP was on antibiotics that targeted Lymes, I'm skeptical he has it because the effects would have been profound. (Ie, he would have been in major suffering soon after starting the antibiotics.)

That said, there are a few relevant questions in regards to this:

1) What antibiotic was the OP put on in response to the Lymes diagnosis? If it was not a one that the disease is sensitive to, then he may have it and it simply was not being affected by treatment.

2) If he was taking a Lyme-sensitive antibiotic, what were the effects? Did he feel worse when taking it? If so, this might be an indicator he in fact has Lymes, since it can take months or years of suffering through treatment to cleanse the body of the bacteria, which will fight back throughout.

3) Was the OP diagnosed through a Western Blot test? A Western Blot test is the best way to be sure of the presence of Lyme. Other tests are less effective and have higher false positive/negative rates.

I'm not a doctor, but have friends and family with advanced cases of Lymes who have gone through years of suffering due to not catching it early. I hope for the OP's sake he doesn't have it, because treating it will be a long and painful process due to the long time it's had to embed itself into his nervous system.
I don't really see how that follows from my logic. I was just pointing out how sticking a camera on every police officer might have downsides in some cases. On the other hand, the upsides might quite likely outweigh it.

I suppose another objection is that police officers would then have a whole new responsibility: they'd have to constantly worry about aiming their camera in the right direction. That means that a policeman who should be trying to, say, break up a fight will instead be concentrating on making sure he has his camera pointed at the fight.
The submitted title is pretty much linkbait for "Mark Zuckerberg sweats under lights during interview, gives company line on privacy"

Which seems to be nowhere near as exciting as either the HN submitter or the liveblogger ("could this be his Nixon moment?") think.

I believe via HTTP headers. Sometimes (or maybe by default?) PHP installs will add something PHP-specific to the Server: line. I remember having to go in and disable that at one point...
It's possible (albeit slowly and indirectly) if you have enough energy to spawn, because dead cells always drop 25 energy. (They take 50 energy from their creator and start with 25 energy, so spawning doesn't create extra.)
Tested negative for Syphilis.
We checked the extensions, the "Server:" option in the header and the "X-Powered-by" option. We tried our best:)
I thought I could remember reading somewhere that passports weren't used that much during Victorian times - this article seems to explain why:

http://www.wanderlust.co.uk/magazine/articles/destinations/a...

Apparently rail travel made the whole process of issuing and checking passports a bit of a pain so most countries just gave up - they didn't become common again until 1914.
Okay, you've done the trick, now what's the reveal? How do you readily detect someone who has started their shell without TTY allocation?
My experiences were similar. I had several interviews with Apple:

1) Several phone interviews for an internship. They don't do fly outs for internships, if I remember correctly. I never finished this process because I took another position before the interviews were complete.

2) Phone interviews and fly out for a position about 1 year ago. The team had good things to say about me, but it wasn't a good fit for either myself or that team. I was referred to another part of Apple, where I started over.

3) Phone interviews and fly out for a different position just one week after #2. In a spat of horrible luck, I lost my contact lens at the hotel that morning. I decided that a makeshift eyepatch wouldn't look good, but having only 1 contact lens in gave me a splitting headache. As I struggled more than I should have, I felt them grow more cold. I was kindly told that the interviews were over about 3/4 of the way through.

Similar to jaysonelliot, I didn't sign an NDA and didn't leave the interview room except for lunch.

A few notable things about my interviews:

I was asked to code over the phone. That's much harder than white board coding, in my opinion. It was something fairly easy, though (atoi in c, or something like that).

I felt like I was judged on my Apple culture. When I revealed that I didn't know Objective C, that didn't seem to matter to much, but when I revealed that I didn't own an iPhone or a Mac, I did feel that my answers weren't what they were hoping.

The questions were very broad. Because I come from both a hardware and a software background, I was asked about everything from basic power dissipation to more traditional CS topics.

Honestly, I felt a much more happy and welcome atmosphere at Microsoft, which surprised me. It was kind of the opposite of the consumer perspectives of those companies.
I have three computers running OS X. Currently Dropbox eats around 33% CPU on all of these modern machines. Am I the only one experiencing these problems?
Yes. Does it negate the bad attitude of the OP's presentation (no)? An attitude that you seem to share?
Sometime in the last year, ArsTechnica picked up a really good artist for their article art. There are times I'll read articles there just to see the images this person creates. I get a laugh out of them pretty frequently.
Yes: gene therapy has been used investigationally since the 90s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_therapy). It has a bad tendency to kill human patients or cause cancer, but it's very widespread in research. For example, optogenetics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optogenetics) uses lentivirii to insert DNA into specific classes of neurons to get them to express a protein.
Even without Flash installed, my Safari often locks (beachballs) for a few seconds when I'm working with a bunch of tabs, particularly when closing one.

Flash is weird. I don't particularly like it for usability/security reasons, yet I haven't experienced this dire OS X performance that others always talk of.
I'm confused by this... C++ puts up all sorts of roadblocks to doing OOP the way it was envisioned so OOP is bad? I'm not a giant OOP fanboy and have many issues with it but arguing that your languages broken version of a design strategy is an indictment of that strategy just seems weird. I'm looking forward to the article about how functional programming sucks with python examples.
The technology behind twitter is trivial in the abstract. At scale it's decidedly non-trivial. See also: paypal.
Regardless of how big Facebook gets. If users continue to blindly accept the terms of use when they sign up, they will continue to agree to this type of censorship. FB is a private site that you elect to join and you accept their rules by doing so. The public at large should be outraged but nobody cares.
I'd like to see some code and a blog post for this! This is far more interesting to me than the iOS update :)
Or you could just watch Lie To Me and learn to interpret microexpressions :)

The formula doesn't address a (common?) case: people joining an early stage startup sometimes (often?) accept lower pay than they could get somewhere else in exchange for equity.

Given that the formula for number of shares is based on annual salary, you're double-screwed in that case: not only you get paid less but you also get less shares because of that.

Or am I mistaken in my assumption that early stage startups pay less than stable, successful companies like Google, Yahoo or Cisco and attract people mainly with a promise of shares that some day might be worth a lot?
It's hardly a new paradigm, it's just a place with a lot of software that you'd otherwise have to write from scratch. It's merely software development catching up with everything else.

The ftc acts as if the content creator is in control: He can choose to monetize his website through YouTube or not. In practice YouTube is a defacto monopoly for these kinds of websites.

Now the creators ask YouTube: please give us an option to have channels that are free of under 13 viewers. It is not my target demographic, and while your own analytics tell me there are a few of those watching, I do not want them here. Either block them or if they show up just comply with COPA and don't track them, OK?

But then YouTube goes: no can do. We either track everyone or no-one, your choice, and BTW n the latter case, we will decimate your revenue. But you are as always free to leave for some other webhost. LOL! Hey, and BTW, if you do indicate that your channel is not directed at kids, you are hereby informed that it is 100% you that is on the line, not us, if the FTC decides otherwise as we do nothing with all that analytics we have to turn away the kids from your doorstep.

So content creators are left up shit creeck without a paddle.

Neil Armstrong equates the moon and tv :

It's a interesting question about vaccines, but the title is backwards. Seatbelts are much more effective than airbags.
I've heard of these types of statistical analyses before, but they always sounded a bit suspicious to me. Have they been verified on known datasets? i.e., if I used your fathers techniques on your comment history, would it find that it was authored by a single person, or would it think there was a committee of you?
There's a pretty obvious false dichotomy between "rejection of the existence of differences in cognitive abilities" and assumption that such differences are as shallow as a single factor called g stably related to scores on a collection of pattern recognition tests.

Hi dbett,

You're not supposed to post hiring posts here on Hacker News except as part of the monthly "Who is Hiring?" thread. The most recent one was

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25989764

(Y Combinator-sponsored companies get a special exemption for this where they can sometimes post job listings outside of the normal article submission process.)

You should wait for the March 2021 thread and then submit this item as a comment on that thread. (You can also still put it in the February 2021 thread, but of course fewer people will be checking that at this point.)

Edit: I actually can't find this rule in the site guidelines, but I'm pretty sure it's a real rule or at least a widespread consensus here.
The current limited CP/M license was granted in 2001 by a company which no longer exists [0]. Whatever their reasons for only granting those limited rights at the time, the current copyright holders may be willing to grant broader rights. But, I imagine working out who the current copyright holders are may be difficult, and they may not even know that they have rights that they legally could grant, or have any good understanding of what the rights are about.

According to [1], ownership of CP/M was transferred to DeviceLogics aka DR-DOS Inc along with DR-DOS. But DeviceLogics appears to have gone out of business, so it isn't clear who currently owns the CP/M copyrights.

> Why aren't people banding together and complain about it in an organized manner?

Because the notion of collective organizing has been completely eroded and squeezed out of modern society at every level and replaced with "consumer choice". Is this supposed to be a difficult question or a rhetorical one? I'm not being factitious, that's the actual answer and it's very easy to observe if you look around. (If you check your watch I'm sure it's only a matter of time until someone here literally replies telling you to get a new ISP, in fact.)

That said, even beyond the need for collective organizing of regulation for cases like ISPs, it's been like a decade since Firesheep made waves over the internet because it turns out just being able to snoop passwords at Starbucks was in fact, not good, and actually was quite bad. So it's not like ISPs are the only unscrupulous actors out there, and unless you want to get into the realms of "This software is illegal to possess" (normally a pretty hot-button topic here) then someone has to deal, in this case. The whole pathway between a user and their destination is, by design, insecure; combine that with the fact the internet is practically a wild west, and you have a somewhat different problem.

Making system administrators adopt TLS en masse was probably the right course of action anyway, all things considered, and happens to help neutralize an array of problems here, even if you regulated ISPs and punished them excessively for hijinks like content manipulation (which I would wholeheartedly love to see, honestly.)

(The other histrionics about "simplicity" of HTTP/2 or text vs binary whatever are all masturbatory red herrings IMO so I'm just ignoring them)
> (1) Fed policy as well as (2) economic growth and corporate profits (or lack thereof).
The argument is that (2) is an inevitability of the market, whereas (1) is political.

The market is influenced by politics more than you might expect, and, conversely, the Fed’s actions are less political that you think.
I certainly see what you're saying, and it's great to expose yourself to both side of the argument, but I don't agree that you should go against your gut feeling.

Otherwise you put yourself at high risk doing stupid shit just because it is majority consensus du jour.
Not bad, but I still prefer the “HackerWeb” version when on mobile (http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/).

This looks very interesting. Are you a UK resident?
Well, I'm going to be starting on a project involving Arduino and pretty LEDs soon. Being able to do do stuff like

when version == A
const numLeds = 10
type LedArray = array[LedState, numLeds]

And then have the number of Leds and the size of the array being passed around typechecked and having all of this done at compile time seems really interesting and useful. And it seems easy to just allocate everything statically or on the stack and then turn off the garbage collector.
Some things I found lacking:

1. Your background image previews on my "Hover Zoom" chrome extension (opens in overlay like a link to a image [1]).

2. Your star display breaks on my second monitor (19" 1280x1024) at 100% Zoom in Chrome and every setting above that[2] This is in my opinion not acceptable.

3. In "Preview Mode" you can not add anything, but you can still remove parts. Is this intended?

4. Speaking of preview mode... it is not obvious what it does. If you are looking at the button when you click it you don't automatically realize what it does.

That is all for now. Good luck.

How quickly do you need society to collapse anyway? Just because it hasn't collapsed yet doesn't mean it isn't collapsing. Wouldn't disturbing trends precede this collapse, like time magazine's report on millenials[0] or the abysmal state of technical writing?

> I've seen a lot of Windows installs use up more than 64 GB

Windows installs themselves or with other software installed? The latter makes sense but I've never seen anywhere close in the former. 32GB would be a bad idea but 64GB I think is fine for the majority of people.
My first thoughts as well. All the marketing images of the product have the screen connected to the keyboard but the keyboard isn't included.
> you could create an addon that disables all of the preferences you dislike.

That's a good idea. Another option is to patch the code to remove the new features, unless Mozilla has taken steps to deter unbundling.
I think the battery situation could be fine. I have a wireless mouse that boasts 3 year battery life. Since a 'dash' would only ever need to switch on and send a quick signal when pushed (which for detergent might be 50 times a year?) I imagine it could live for years (say a few hundred pushes) on a single cell.
Varies by state and a lot is illegal (age, race, marital status), but in this specific case they're talking about clearance questions which are different (getting a secret/top secret clearance). For these questions basically anything goes.
You're of course correct; the term shocking here is pure rhetoric. It would be shocking only if probing for a solution actually caused the device to electrically feedback, which would then be both literally and figuratively shocking :P (I've ruled this out so far, I hope.)
Also keep in mind that the NYC subway has nearly 300 more stations than the MTR. Very hard to compare systems because of factors like that.
The link about Go with quotes by Rob Pike lets me think that maybe Abc.xyz made Go like they did because they wanted to be able to have some sort of AI generate code eventually.
No. This is not Hollywood, and A320 is not a UAV. There's no option "hack into the thing and fly it from the back seat" (do I need to explain, here on HN, why a lack of remote control is also a Good Thing? "I've got the same combination on my luggage!")

If I recall correctly, the Open Fund doesn't take single founders.
Agree, a bit of a quick sales pitch on the front page so people know what it is and stick around.. looks nice and clean though, well done.
Yet another review leaves out network requirements.

How about testing it with a wimpy 1mbps... and maybe with someone also sharing that for Skype? ...that's my use case for gaming :)

Sucks that no one can talk about that. And that I have to install windows just to try it out
Yeah, too bad the application deadline for Techstars NY was closed couple of hours ago. I suggested Openfund because it's also based in Greece, but it's Pan European.
Modern safety features certainly help, but ultimately physics is still physics.

There can also be serious problems when modern vehicles have collisions with older vehicles that don't have those safety features, for similar reasons.
In order to build iOS apps, you need to run XCode on MacOSX. The latest releases of XCode have been so unstable that I wonder how much longer before developers finally get discouraged to develop for Apple Hardware.
