Absolutely. Originally, everyone wanted subreddits to be like tags, myself included. But overtime I've realized how awesome subreddits are (even though it is a pain to have multiple subreddits covering the same topic). But now that I've subscribed to some wonderful subreddits, I love my personal reddit experience (/r/doctorwho, /r/askscience, /r/linguistics, /r/skeptic).

Everyone talks about having a personalized experience on the internet, from Netflix & Amazon's recommendations to customized dashboards but nobody has got it right except for Reddit. When I go to reddit.com homepage, I only see what I want and if I don't like a subreddit, I remove it from my list. I don't ever feel like reddit is going down the hill or that the olden days were better. It really is a community of communities.
Not sure what to believe here but we do know that the NSA and authorities do need to have access to data for security. If there are systems that aren't apt to putting in backdoors or trapdoors then they treat you like Phil Zimmerman in the 90's by dropping the DOJ on you: http://www.philzimmermann.com/EN/faq/index.html + http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Zimmermann or at least that was the MO at that time.

But the DOJ and US Customs dropped the case against Zimmerman in '96. Obviously they would need to go with a new plan of attack after that method failed for intercepting messages in algorithms and software that is closed or running new algorithms like PGP. Backdoors and trapdoors in software that wraps crypto algorithms is one prong in that attack. The NSA neither confirms nor denies trapdoors, backdoors, etc but DOES employ some of the top cryptographers in the world.

In 2000, the U.S. government lifted the export controls on strong crypto, so (pure speculation) other methods to intercept communications were/are needed. The alleged event here happened in 2000/2001 which might fit with a new MO.
Are you sure you want to own your MacBook for 3 years?

I owned my white, 1st-generation MacBook for 5 years. To be fair, I wasn't coding then, so I might take your advice for this new laptop.
The examples used are, but these sorts of user exploitation in the name of 'innovation' and 'branding' smell exactly the same as in years past. They illustrate a complete lack of empathy (and subsequently, taste) on the part of the developers, piss off users, and generally drive the perception of the platform down over the long run.

Printer drivers seem to be nothing more than a sick in-joke as to who can make the biggest, most useless pieces of software.
Instapaper has an API. There are at least five third-party Instapaper clients for Android available in the Marketplace. http://www.quora.com/Whats-the-best-client-for-Instapaper-on...
Sounds like it was the primary reason you had low sales. Without similar placement in the Android Market, you really can't claim that one market was more successful than the other purely on its own merits.
It just so happens I was listening to some beautiful 1970s space music when I read this (Tangerine Dream, if you're interested).

The dreams of exploration we had from the time of the first man in space through the 1980s were so wonderful and optimistic. I grew up reading OMNI and Discover, watching Carl Sagan on television and playing with toy Space Shuttles.

When the Voyager left earth, we believed that man would walk on Mars by the end of the millennium, and that first contact was just around the corner. It was unthinkable that, in 2011, we would be seeing the end of the Space Shuttle with nothing to replace it and the suspension of SETI.

I hope that moments of wonder like Voyager leaving the solar system, still functioning, will light our collective spirit and inspire us to remember why we wanted to reach for the stars in the first place.
From memory, the probes will shut down their functioning gradually as they run out of power. Also if they stop receiving messages from earth they will keep doing science according to some preprogrammed procedure and beam the results back. Go humans!
In my personal experience, if you approach someone and tell them about what you are doing, you'll be able to gauge their interest level. If they are interested, it all starts from there.

I wrote about it in more detail on my blog:

At the time you never touched a command line or a compiler? You keep replying to but you haven't gotten anywhere near a point.

> As of the existing solutions being lacking, don't wait for Google, produce it, and sell it on the store.

You can't even build it -- the store is now restrictive enough that an honest to goodness compiler that produces runnable executables is impossible. That's the whole point.

We can't even make Turbo Pascal for Android.

The funny thing there are plenty of existing solutions that work just fine right now but Google keeps tightening the screws.

Apples huge success with developers on Mac OS definitely resulted from it's Unix abilities. WSL on Windows is Microsoft's direct response to that. You might hate Unix but denying its utility is futile.
I am specifically referring to the virus, which I hoped was obvious. To avoid confusion with the disease SARS, the WHO sometimes refers to SARS-CoV-2 as "the COVID-19 virus" in public health communications. And from there it’s entered the popular press.

But yes, the disease was named COVID-19 thus the overlap, and current confusion over the viruses name.
This is super impressive!! Those generated images are quite accurate and realistic. Here are some of my thoughts and explanation about how they do use discrete vocabulary to describe an image.

Really cool project! Could you add a metric for tracking weight? Right now there isn't an easy way to enter large numbers, the scales are all 1-5.
It's inevitable that medical care in some way is tied to personal wealth. Some treatments are so expensive and/or niche that public programs likely wouldn't cover them. Such treatments will probably always exist. (And if they didn't, then that could he a problem by itself.)

But at least basic modern healthcare (things that existed ~20 years ago) should be provided as (mostly) free to the patient. We need people to not worry about going to the doctor - there should be minimal paperwork and cost. More people going to healthcare earlier would hopefully pay off through better preventative care.
All of it already exists with the JVM.
Yes and no. It's true that immutable servers work around the flaws in puppet et al.

However, nix still still really useful even when you have immutable servers. Once the components of an app are described as nix packages you have a lot of flexibility in working with them:

• deploy to a local sandbox for development
• deploy to virtualbox instances for end-to-end testing
• deploy to cloud instances for testing or production

..all from the same package descriptions. I've found it really valuable to have a precisely-defined and exactly reproducible environment for my code, whether in development, testing or production.
Cool. I still don't know of a good website that does this well (RT comes close, except some of their filters are broken).

For some constructive feedback, after using it for a few min, my thoughts were that this would only become useful to me if I had these additional filters:

1. Filter by how recent a movie is (e.g. I may not be in the mood for a sci-fi movie from 1950).

2. Filter by rating (e.g. best RT rating).

3. Exclude certain genres (e.g. not in the mood for Crime).
There's no need to believe or disbelieve. Vilhjalmur Stefansson and Karsen Anderson showed back around 1930 that it wasn't a special adaptation of the Inuit people. They and their fellow explorers of European descent were healthy on a diet of fish and meat. Stefansson spent 9 years of 11 years of Arctic exploration living on a meat diet.

As that possibility was widely disbelieved, the two of them spent a year on that diet in New York, with observers. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilhjalmur_Stefansson#Low-carbo... and the medical publication at http://www.jbc.org/content/87/3/651.full.pdf .

Others since then have done the same. Here's someone who's been on a meat diet for 5 years. http://www.vice.com/read/this-guy-has-eaten-nothing-but-raw-... .

On iOS they ask for contacts access, and you can deny.
I don't see why, the money ends up in the same bag.
In addition to that, you probably don't get into contact with fake contacts very often... it is just a smoke mirror to make the users think that they have privacy...
> I refer to remote copying and ensuring proper permissions of a single file. And deleting in case. How more basic could it possibly be?

Loads! There's a lot of work to do here, maybe it's not work you're interested in - that's ok - but there is definitely work to do. Are you familiar with things like Yunohost, Sandstorm, and the like? This is a nascent field, in app terms it's barely at untar-configure-make-install relative to an app-store one tap install.

> The permissions may be embarrassing and peculiar for Microsofters, but adding other tooling doesn't simplify.

I've had the experience of running a hosting control panel used by a couple of thousand users (organisations) and I can absolutely tell you that tooling does simplify things for users. It doesn't even have to be that good, every incremental step we made got more users using more things. Things they easily could have done themselves (they had SSH, Postgres, MySQL, Perl, PHP, etc).

I'm not worried about folks not learning UNIX system admin skills. I am worried that one of the proprietary service stacks (in which I include local ones like Synology's App Center) will become a defacto platform in the same way proprietary OSes have won on the desktop and mobile. Fortunately they're not much good at the minute, but it's a blue ocean for them if they get better first.

And to be clear, I'm not advocating that users should not have to learn anything. I don't know where the bar will end up, but I think it'll be far away from chmod, one way or another.
You can still block those blobs, as they too are loaded by URL.

I'm not exactly defending monkeypatching. It's better than nothing, and if used judiciously it doesn't have to be especially dangerous. All the rope you need and all that...

And, what you're describing is very cool on its own merits.

What I want to know is whether this will get you out of the same messes that monkeypatching can. If it will, but in a more controlled way, then that's really awesome.
Yes, but adding W2 income to your tax forms is pretty easy and insulates you from all the tax and legal implications of running your own blog for a small income. Whereas adding a Schedule C for 1099 income exposes you to all those risks, taxes and complexity. It sounds like the guy who wrote the original blog post didn't really discuss this with his tax and legal advisors because his mistake was easily avoided if he had properly claimed the income.
Metafilter is a great site, I go there often and think every highly of it- but it is at least one order of magnitude smaller than reddit.
Clarification (since I can't edit my comment anymore):

Businesses should foot the cost of job training to prevent supply/demand mismatches where thousands of people spend 4+ years preparing for a job they never get hired for.

Why? A business is much more in tune with market demand than students following the flavor of the year and end up being edged out by 0.1 GPA or being the 101th person in a market that can only sustain 50 new workers a year etc...
I think expecting gifted kids to be successful, and putting a bunch of effort into such, is a mismatch.

It's pretty well known that perseverance (perhaps being a jerk too) is much more important than high IQ for becoming rich and powerful.

High IQ is much better for coming up with deep ideas, being creative, etc. Not characteristics that necessarily correspond with our standard definition of success.
I agree with that, with so many users there are bound to be some of everything. The best you can do is call it out and downvote it.
I think in aggregate, it helps. And it's hard to not be anonymous when you can be put on a black list.

It's not like you're converting anecdotes to data in the typical sense. It's more that it illustrates the kind of abuse that can happen, and why people are so concerned.

In some ways, it beats harping on ideals of privacy when you're dealing with organizations who are concerned with nothing but pure pragmatism. You can draw connections from these incidents to the ideals to show that these aren't isolated incidents, but a pattern that emerges when we ignore some ideals to pursue others.

It's similar to the "bad apples" excuse applied to other disciplines -- yeah, you can say that a majority of police officers or investment bankers aren't total douchebags, but enough are that you have to look into why and what you should do about the problem. And the only way that happens is by pointing out particular incidents as they happen, over and over and over again.
Yeah, and otherwise eschewing standard definitions of success if it doesn't fit my interests.
i think it's probably due to the fact that you get as much out of YC as you put into it. If you need help they'll give it to you...they have those kinds of connections.

So the only thing it comes down to is money, and it's pointless to complain about that when you just flamed out and the equity is worth 0.

And if you are a success, you attribute a large part of it to the connections you got through YC.

I have to agree. The parent seems to be basing his comment on some form of logic or reason, neither of which seem to be prevalent in government dealings. Not recognizing the burden of 1099ing every entity that I do $600 of business with shows how disconnected the author of this particular bill is from small-businesses. The good news is, there ARE a few politicians who have seen the error in this bill and are attempting to do something about it.

As a small-business owner myself, I can sympathize with the OP about having to get all businessy with his website. Being a small-business and "doing it right" can be a lot of work. You either do the work yourself, or you pay someone to do it. There are plenty of ways to go wrong if you're not on top of it.
I'm not really sure this is revolutionary or even "news" when high school wrestling coaches have been telling kids to sleep with their bedroom windows open to cut a couple pounds for decades?

I agree. I was just pointing out that there is a portion of the HN readership that tends to use the strictly economic definition (rightly or wrongly). Also, the meaning has shifted over time.

As used in the early 1900s - I realize the term was coined even earlier than that - it referred to what today we'd likely call upper-middle-class (or if you're a fan of Engles, the bourgeoisie). White-collar, professional, well-educated, but not rich/powerful/nobility. It excluded almost the entirety of the working-class (even those who, by income, were well above poverty).

More recently, usage in the US has trended towards anybody above poverty but not quite rich (and choose your own definition of rich to suit your point). Which itself includes a massive span of incomes and lifestyles.
I've come to think this is something that I'll do earlier rather than later on projects moving forward. The last few projects I've worked on have put this off "until we get bigger", which inevitably ends up affecting agility and the types of migrations you're willing to do and when you're willing to release them. As complex as the approach is, I think I'd rather bite it off early in future projects.

Or, use postgres!
How do you "own" something that everyone else can consume and replicate? Owning a physical item implies a degree of control over it. Owning a public digital item doesn't seem to grant any kind of control.

I feel like this is a classic case of "tree falls in a forest, does anyone hear it?" where the confusion relies on the word "hear" being used in two ways (objective sound waves travelling through air, vs subjective perception). Is the word "own" being used in two ways here?
Maybe you haven't been to Radio Shack in a long time, but the new hotness is the Apple IIe.

Not sure if you're talking about the kernel (which I've heard very good things about and has been ported to run on WP smartphones with as little as 256mb ram and crappy processors) or specifically just the windows layer on top of it but I don't know of any desktop class OS that runs on smartphones.

OSX doesnt. OSX doesnt even run on tablets (not that it can't, idk)

Ubuntu cant run on smartphones either. The edge was the most powerful smartphone ever envisioned just to be able to run ubuntu well.

I don't see how not being able to run a desktop OS on a smartphone is a criticism. When it comes to tablets windows actually runs quite well on the surface RT which isn't all that impressive hardware wise. Sure it might not be able to run intensive apps but that's mainly the fault of the app makers, not windows.

> I'm 17 years old and a developer on the app store

Then you probably committed fraud when creating your Developer account. Apple requires you to certify that you are at least 18 years old in order to join the developer program. So does every other means of receiving USD payment on the internet (Paypal, Stripe, BTC exchanges, etc). I hesitate to say it's impossible, but the system is set up in such a way that if you are an Internet entrepreneur under the age of 18 you are probably breaking the law.

I've never heard of Apple doing this, but PayPal is known to freeze accounts it discovers are held by minors and walk away with their money. You probably don't want to advertise the fact that you're 17.
Not sure they are counting money that is coming from wall street(banks, mutual funds, pension funds, etc) that is in FOMO state and is actually making VCs less relevant in later stage investing.

It's worth remembering that the company behind Riot are a 3rd party provider delivering components to host websites. These websites already have jquery/angular/whatever in their own payload, and Moot won't be the only resource they are pulling into their page.

In that context, you can see why reducing size is given such a priority. I can assure you, tags that don't take such measures can have a catastrophic affect on your site's performance.

Obesity rates started soaring only in the later 20th century. I'm suspicious of explanations for recent and rapid upward obesity trends that cite our evolutionary history from before the Neolithic Revolution. Human genetics did not undergo a massive shift in the last couple of generations. We did not just recently transition away from nomadic hunting lifestyles either.

No single factor seems to line up with increasing obesity rates well enough to be blamed as The Cause. I think it may be a combination of small nudges that form strongly obesity-promoting environments.
Your analogy is perfect... for showing why this is wrong.

The "shooting back" solution just ends up with a bunch of people injured (likely including random bystanders). The better solution is to get the shooting to stop entirely.

We don't need to find a new interpretation of copyright law to attack the cop, we need to remove the dysfunctional copyright system that started this. Or in your metaphor, I want no-one to get shot rather than wanting to shoot back.
