We posted about infostripe to the overnight/overseas HN crowd last week. After implementing many of the suggestions and comments I thought I would resubmit it to the day crowd to see what you thought of it in it's current form.

Also check out actual examples:

Gavin didn't do a very good job explaining things in that one, unfortunately. I recently found the Omega Tau podcast covering Bitcoin, and he does much, much better: http://omegataupodcast.net/2011/03/59-bitcoin-a-digital-dece...
About 25k BTC trade daily on MtGox, and that is thought to represent roughly 1/3 of USD-BTC FX transactions daily.

Keep in mind thats BTC-USD trades, not "notional value spent".

Apparent largest transaction was 400k bitcoins: http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=1346.0

It would be difficult to transact 100k BTC with one counterparty, but could be reasonably accomplished in a few days via electronic exchanges (mtgox).
Fair enough. Changed
You can have multiple projects open in IntelliJ. When you open a second project, it prompts to open it in a "New Window" or "This Window". The confirm dialog has a "remember" option, which you can reset under Prefences -> General -> "Confirm window to open project in".

IntelliJ can also download Maven sources + javadocs automatically via Preferences -> Maven -> Importing -> "Automatically download". Otherwise, you can download manually by selecting the Maven Projects tab and clicking the download icon. Opening a Maven project with IntelliJ is really easy: just open the pom.xml and it will automatically create the IDE project.
ITERATE is an excellent gateway-drug to LOOP.

I sometimes joke my programming language is LOOP instead of CL: http://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/bc91w/on_the_8th_da...
Isn't this like saying that AI is impossible?
Amen. I'm going to pass this article around to doubting colleagues of mine.

TDD saves my (and Forrst's) ass on probably a daily basis. The most recent debacle with our rather complicated post formatting library (which involves Markdown, autolinking emails, usernames, URLs [but ignoring all content in pre or code blocks, and not double-linking URLs in href or src attributes], XSS cleaning/sanitization, and tag rebalancing), would have likely been 1000x worse without a comprehensive test suite. There's just no way to test every possible case manually.
I think it should read 'pay 100K to the court', which you get back.
People in the US lost respect for police officers when they became bullies. Either they're giving law-abiding citizens tickets or they are killing and injuring suspects in their custody. Yes, I know, it's not all cops. But, there are too many of these stories in the news. Young people, especially those that hang out on reddit, will definitely have the sense that cops are just bad.

I live in Oakland, CA. Lots of crime here, but the beat cops spend most of their time generating revenue and hassling people unlikely to be dangerous (to them). It is pretty pathetic.

EDIT: an example (from the 80's)

I was in a bad part of Oakland one day, driving down a one-way street (2 lanes). A couple of blocks in front of me was a cop waving everyone on the street over to the side. Each one of us (20+ people) got a ticket. Mine was for "straddling the lanes", even though I protested that I was changing lanes because I saw him standing in my lane. I realized that he was just making something up.

I contested the ticket and he didn't show up. He knew he had no leg to stand on.

How many of the people in that poor neighborhood did that? How many just ignored the ticket and were later arrested on a bench warrant? Really pathetic. That's the day I lost respect for them. (And, this happened in the early 80's.)
>When it comes to bad areas in large cities nearly every city has at least one such area. [...] This is not something made up or in the minds of white people.

I think neilk is aware of that. I took his point to be that it is surprising that Americans accept this as a normal fact of life.
This video sums up (in a beautiful way), what I would like to say about such initiatives.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpAMbpQ8J7g
I had my car broken into in the US, and I knew who did it. It was a friend of a friend (hey, my friends weren't the best back in high school) and they bragged about it. The cops wouldn't take prints when they investigated. When I called up the officer in question after finding out who did it, they said "sorry, we don't aggressively pursue theft".

So, your experience in Brazil isn't foreign to Americans. Not all police are created equal, and in a place as big and culturally diverse as the US, you'll get some good ones and some bad ones.
They're easier to use.
Anyone know of screencasts with keystrokes (I don't know how) that would reveal that mastery?
I stand corrected, it sounds like the ~55% figure is "Coca-Cola" products as in Original, Diet, Diet Caffeine Free, Zero, Diet with lemon, etc. I wonder if the 78% figure is from Coca-Cola 'company' drinks, like Sprite, Fanta, etc and the remaining 22% is subsidiary sales like Vitamin Water (Energy Brands subsidiary), etc.
The difference between something like DupDetector and someone like MrOhHai on Reddit is that DupDetector was polite and was more like "here's the earlier discussion" as opposed to "you should not have posted this".
The payment model is @joshu's idea
OAuth will be up soon. Imported Delicious data will be hosted as is. Yes, backing up Delicious is not the only thing that Favbot does but Delicious data will be made available separately too.
The difference is, Favbot will let you use your Delicious bookmarks online (in addition to its other features).
When I started ML, I used to get seriously annoyed when I'd try to compile something and it'd just say "type clash".

Now I have mellowed. Also, annotating the types explicitly in the case of a type clash can be instructive as it usually reveals that you didn't write the function you thought you'd wrote...

The "tag" is an mbuf tag. Mbuf tags aren't packet data; think of them like per-packet session state, so that different layers of the stack (the network drivers, any driver required to handle crypto goo done on the card, the original IP code, and the IPSEC decapsulation and handling code) can talk to each other without hand-coding a million disgusting callbacks throughout the kernel.

In this code, "mtag" is the tag matching PACKET_TAG_IPSEC_IN_CRYPTO_DONE, which the lower-level drivers use to tell the IPSEC code that the NIC already did verification. If the tag isn't there, then you want to do the verification in software, which is what the fixed code does and the broken code didn't do.

While it's a great demo, I always blanche at the "Mother of all demos" title.

Ivan Sutherland in 1962 is what I think of when I hear that phrase: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOZqRJzE8xg
I don't understand what you're getting at. Why do new "protocols" need to be folded into the web?

The web can't ever be as well-managed and patched as Linux is. The web doesn't have a pre-defined scope. It's more like a transport layer for content and other services. And I'd like to see it stay that way; companies will compete and innovate way faster than any small standards committee or group of maintainers will.
and Safari would open up AirPlay to all manner of h.264 streams with a huge variety of encoding variations.

That can't possibly make a difference unless the Apple TV decoder is limited in comparison to the iPad/iPhone/Touch decoder. And I doubt that is the case.
Open source isn't about entitlement. It's about making core building blocks of software available to all because everyone shares an interest in those core pieces, and it's cheaper/faster/better to work together on shared code that doesn't contribute to market differentiation than mucking around trying to build an maintain a bunch of secret, closed-source code that everyone is going to need anyway. Open source frees up resources to solve more interesting problems.

Editing text isn't a particularly interesting problem: the best models for it were developed decades ago, and the main innovations since were fonts and color themes. Text editors are a prime candidate for open sourcing, and most good ones are, including huge IDEs like Eclipse, Netbeans and IntelliJ. To say nothing of Emacs, Vi(m), nano, mg, TextMate, LightTable, Brackets, Notepad++, Kate, GEdit and dozens of other sophisticated, open-source text editors.

Expecting GitHub (of all companies) to err on the side of closing up the source for a text editor (of all products) seems strange.
me too – I think my email address is there
My point wasn’t that fewer than possible should be tested, my point was that given the constraints (staff, equipment, time) it’s best to test people that it makes a difference for, such as those who must be in contact with people - in healthcare.

If you could test everyone with symptoms (or everyone full stop) then go for it. That’s not possible though.
Yes. That reason is: a lack of vision and creativity.
Are there any other links to guides for young developers starting out in the industry?
pihole is a short term solution; it is the wrong long term one - it only works as these holes exist. blocking needs to be done in the browser, or your computer to be done more securely
Indeed they do now! I do wish some of the MMO encounters I deal with had these practice modes so we could practice the difficult parts of encounters without needing to do multi-minute preludes every wipe.
Is it related to screen sharing? They allow sharing a specific window. Without knowing about other processes you may not share the window. You have to specifically allow it in System Preference on Mac though.

They're in the uncanny valley.

My pancreas doesn't work, so your anecdotal evidence trumps what I thought to be true.
Having been bullied by a bigger company in the past, I feel really bad for Modista founders.

My best wishes to Arlo and AJ. What comes around goes around, the valley is a small place and these things don't go unnoticed.
That defeats the entire point of having people vote who know what they're talking about.

I watch my karma on reddit and HN very closely. It is very rare that I get reflexively downvoted as a result of initial voting, and when it does happen, I mention it and clarify my post and almost always see it even back out.
If you look at my original comment, you'll see I used the example of a conversation with only two participants as an example. In this situation, you don't even have the rough social proof of the comment order.

Ordering is flawed even alone, because it has certain biases in comment age as well. I've seen new comments with no votes shown above other, very highly voted comments.

I should mention that I'm not necessarily campaigning to bring back the vote counts, nor do I necessarily want them back (for reasons you describe well), but I do think they did have value, and we need a way to bring back that value while minimizing the bias. I'm not sure how to do that, but I do really like the "upvote, downvote, or abstain" concept mentioned in another comment on this submission, wherein the votes are hidden until you perform one of the listed actions. You can still view the votes, but you can't influence them after you know what they are.
That's the problem, Facebook and other virtual monopolies don't care because they don't have to.

> You are in debt to them for such a great service, they never forced you to become so dependent.

No. I'm not in debt to them.

My ad views and clicks cancel the debt for the provided service. And my patronage further adds to push that balance in my favor.

In a way, you can say that Facebook and Google are in my debt.

> "It's not fair! Facebook has a responsibility to its users! I demand them to do such and such!"

There is a difference between a startup, a small-to-medium size business, and a monopoly.

Once you become a monopoly the rules change, since by definition you are the only option there is. Understand that we are not dealing with a business that cornered some niche. That's not a monopoly. What we are dealing with are businesses that are involved with billions of lives. They do have a responsibility, yet they accept none. It's a clear case of indifference, lack of understanding, and perhaps ego at the top of these orgs.
When vote counts where active, this effect caused many instances where an excellent comment was found greyed out at the bottom of the page until a few smart HN folks with high karma voted it back up.

Why would the people need "high karma" to vote it back up? I ask this as someone with high karma. "showdead" is an option available to anyone, isn't it? I don't know the answer but I've always had it turned on at least.
Bad idea. That doesn't help skimming for info, which is the main poster's problem - you have to read the comment before you decide to find out if it's upvoted. And once you've done that, you've already committed the time. Sound nice, but it's not practical.
Wow... I traded Jeff a DefCon '93 shirt for one of my ToneLoc shirts back in the day. It's good to see them appoint someone qualified.
Annoying is the wrong word - had HN had the feature to edit/update I would :)

I do think the person who takes the title of CEO is risking more, and than deserves credit. They have their name in the public, and reputation on the line more than anyone else in the company (and, ideally should be up at 3 am as well, either fixing servers, or cold-emailing PR firms, or working on investment decks, blah blah blah). Greater risk deserves greater upside - while it's just a rule of thumb, I think Dan's post is a good starting point for the conversation on how to recognize that.
I guess the main difference is that in the US (as far as I understand) there is no official workers representation outside of unions, thus some characteristics of workers' representatives are done by the union in the US (you get represented even if you did not vote for them).

Much like the role of the party and State organs in one-party state vs many parties democracies. In the former the roles are much more muddied between the two.
Welcome to Cyberpunk: Nevada.
Isn't that the same story like with Uber & Co? Anybody remembering the pictures of giant piles of bicycles at the end

Maybe this isn’t an insightful or clever take either, but this article reads like the first chapter origin story in a book about corporations become de facto government like WALL-E or Bladerunner.

On one hand, will be interesting to see if private entities can run government better than public ones, and if so then the road to there may just be a matter of time as lobbying, voters voting with their feet and money, and public messaging takes hold.
"least to most likely to find magic"

Thanks. That's an amazing superlative to have. :-) Hehe.
TL;DR : Start taking notes about what you read if you want to actually remember a bit of it. Here you go.
I really went deep into k8s. But as an engineer building services and features. I mostly dont care about the lower level platform. I just want to deploy code and services. The whole sysops / devops part should "just work".

I really like "Google Cloud Run" in this sense. Just deploy your Dockerfile.. And you're done.

A single yaml file. Limited configuration. Scaling just works. No cluster management.

I just want to build a great product.
> a simple view counter on the backend (ie a log analyzer) is enough for that.

I can't do that on Github Pages.

Cloudflare Analytics gives me a tad more information than raw page views—for instance, I can see what sites people came from. But there's zero individual user tracking.
You don't have to track users to make money. It's just a way of making more money hence its occurring.

DuckDuckGo makes a business not tracking users and I believe made over 1.2 million last year based on its donations.
You can give up too much equity or control, which will make the company unattractive to future potential investors.
I'm not sure which specific time period you're referring to with respect to Microsoft, but I've worked for several companies who had paid for Microsoft support contracts, as of the mid-90s, and Microsoft support was always phenomenal, most especially SQL Server support.
How did it go?

Did the free-tier just drop from 750 to ~350 dyno-hours/month? Does no custom domains mean no DNS redirects?

This blog post reminds me of individuals who will only drink high quality naturally purified twice-filtered water from the mountains of Switzerland.
I keep mine on the bottom and hidden, it works fine. Average pointer travel distance to the bottom is always less than one of the sides in any standard resoution, so you can "fling" the mouse to the bottom quicker (just like the menubar). I also use OSX on a laptop the most, where moving my hand on an imaginary Y-axis of the touchpad is more natural for me than the X axis, which requires more arm movement since my fingers can't curl left and right.

I'm probably not the average Mac user, but for me, the dock is more of a status bar for me to see download progress, which apps are still running, etc, so it doesn't matter what maximizes screen space. I don't use it to store icons to launch apps (Spotlight instead), and when first logging in it only contains the Finder, Trash and Downloads folder.
If I went to install Angry Birds on my Android phone and Android stated that it required access to my contacts lists, I would abort the install... Do you get any information like that when installing apps on the iPhone or do you have to trust that Apple makes a good decision for you? I'm not sure how the iPhone permissions stuff works, or if that level of granularity exists at all...?
Flagged; while this could be technically of interest to hackers, it's much more likely to cause flamewars and religion discussions.

The only way vertical farming becomes reasonable is with cheap energy, and high food costs.

Cattle actually come close to this because they don't need sunlight to grow so you can have multi story feed fed cattle farms. However, it's still cheaper to use more land than to build multi story cattle farms.

An upvote wasn't enough.
Your WBC count is low. Your body probably can't fight off infections very well. You also have elevated IgA. Have you seen a hematology-oncology doctor?

It could be that you have some sort of infection that is hard to identify or treat.

Chronic inflammation can cause a low white count - you have symptoms of inflammation and should have inflammatory markers checked such as CRP, homocysteine, and ESR. Even if it turns out that you have an untreatable infection, maybe avoiding inflammatory foods would help manage your symptoms.
Agree, I'd like to see a massive failure as well.
I can understand that interacting with the REPL inside an emacs session might be better than what you can get in vim (haven't tried either yet - I just use a separate REPL session). But is there anything particular about emacs the editor that makes it particularly good for editing lisp code? For example, the text object selection in vim (:help object-select) has been great for interacting with paired () [], auto-indenting blocks, etc.
Excellent point, because my first thought was: what on earth is he saying to people to have them ACTUALLY say what they are saying????

I've been in business for 10 years for myself, and I have always told people I run my own business and nobody has EVER said something about me trying to find a job or being unemployed. Ever.

It must be a vibe he puts off, or the way he describes what he's doing. Maybe he's wishy washy in what he says he's doing, or doesn't speak with confidence.
I've recently moved to NYC for the summer to work at an internship and I'm surprised at just how many places here take cash only. For the first time in years i'm walking around with cash in my pockets, whereas back home my wallet is always empty except for my credit cards. It isn't just small towns but big cities as well. I will agree that visa is easier for the consumer, but I won't avoid shopping/eating somewhere that takes only cash.

My point was, and my apologies for not having stated it clearly, that a swift kick to the knee is a good option for untalented fighters looking to end things quickly with a minimal effort, minimal talent requirement, and doesn't really subject the kicker to much danger.

That said, I wholly agree with the "don't get in fights" mantra, however, there truly are times where it's unavoidable, no matter how much I wish it weren't.
