I always thought that the stereotype arises (at least for the direction engineer -> business guy) from the fact that the engineers perceive themselves as doing (or being able to do) intellectually demanding work and the business people as not doing (and not being able to do) the same. And yet it's the business guys who run the companies and tell the engineers what to do (in a sense). So it boils down to a fairness issue based on the engineers' central value: intelligence and intellect. It's the same kind of perception that makes you feel like the top of the class kids in high school go into engineering and the bottom of the class kids go into economics. Or that the engineers are the ones who work so hard to make a product while the business guys get all the fame by merely talking about it.

I remember my A.I. professor complaining that the economics students would never make it through a CS class, yet they will be the ones who end up with a big car and the beautiful girls.

I think this attitude is over-generalizing (and a bit bitter, too, perhaps). It's easy to be a bad business guy, as it is easy to be a bad engineer. But it's not so simple to be successful, at either profession - just that they're vastly different types of professions. And for every engineer who complains, there's nothing stopping them from going into economics, too.

(P.S.: Sorry for the many parentheses...)
I don't know. I could imagine really stupid spam filters looking for strings matching /http:\/\/.*\.(com|net|org)/ or something. Of course that's no one else's fault but the filter.
I've noticed our grocery bill (now we are both working) has gone from $70p/w to $130p/w in the last year.
That corpus was frequently used some time ago for performing automatic speaker recognition tests/system evaluations.
Today, however, there are more challenging corpora, like those provided by NIST for its bi-annual speaker recognition evaluations (http://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/mig/sre10.cfm). These provide more mismatch conditions which require more advanced channel compensation mechanisms.
> it "just" meant losing historical links.

Note that this in a bad idea in general, not just for URL shorteners but also for your personal website and even more for a project or company webseite.

There is a classic article by Tim Berners-Lee on that topic, written in 1998:

"Cool URIs don't change" (http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI)
1. It's easy to name a ruling on a statute that was then revised--this is not that uncommon. Try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ledbetter_v._Goodyear_Tire_%26_.... The Court's ruling hewed close to the text of Title VII, but Congress didn't like the outcome, so it changed the law.

2. The Federal Arbitration Act was originally enacted in 1925 (and has been amended and interpreted quite a bit over the years, obviously). Today's Congress is not composed of the same representatives who passed the act, nor does its view of arbitration necessarily reflect the view of those who enacted it originally.

3. This is not a cut-and-dried liberal vs. conservative issue. There are complicated issues of preemption of state laws by the FAA, and what constitutes "unconscionability" in an arbitration agreement--which has been in the Court quite a bit lately (see Rent-a-Center v. Jackson from last term).
I enjoyed the challenge of finding out what the graphs mean, just by reading numbers and city names. I think the salaries are in the blue bar graphs, separated per years of experience and per city?
Apparently Apple really should have called it the iWatch.
<quote>Burglargard looks pretty cool. But I'd definitely have to re-evaluate fire exits before I installed, the last thing I'd want is for the entire family to burn to death because I was trying to save a few thousand dollars in property which is insured and replaceable.</quote>

If your fire exit strategy currently relies on the ability to break a window, you've already failed at fire safety. You need to be able to OPEN a fire exit in an emergency, not MAKE one...
But, but, love + Lua is just beautiful. I've only messed around with it some, but it is really a thing of beauty.

Haxe is one of my biggest current interests, and Snokit + Luxe is looking better every day.
See my comment elsewhere on this thread, about techniques for limiting garbage in Go. I'm far from proving that this is sufficient for avoiding significant GC pauses, but I'm tentatively hopeful. I'll post more as I get more data on large scenes.

I did play with Rust a bit, and I do find a lot to like there. Unfortunately, I quickly found myself dealing with an overwhelming explosion of type parameters (both of the garden variety, and the 'lifetime' variety). Some of this may have been my own naïveté in the language, and some bad library design (the graphics library I was using ended up forcing me to pollute nearly every type with three or for type parameters). But that, coupled with my own Go experience, a slow-ish (though better than C++) compiler, and no better debugging support than Go, led me to stick with the latter for the time being.
I use n, but this would still try and delete everything it could - n doesn't chroot / contain/ zone / docker / rocket anything AFAIK.
Worth mentioning that taking that advice led him to implementing the Boost regex engine
Coinbase is insured against hacking, internal theft, and accidental loss in an amount that covers maximum value of bitcoin we hold in online storage at any given time.

When marketers advertise in bad faith, you could end up with a bad product. In this case, however, you could end up losing your money.

Unless you have multisig control over your coins, do not put large sums into this exchange unless you want to lose your money.

98% of customer bitcoin is stored entirely offline.

This means the vast majority of users don't have multisig control over their coins, since multisig-protected coins can't be put into offline storage.

Let's recap Coinbase's technical problems over the years:

Here's someone who sent $35k to Coinbase and never received coins until they made a big deal about it on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6929705

Here's someone with the same story, but $10k instead of $35k: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6933360

Here's Coinbase leaking emails and full names: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7507493

Here's a Coinbase engineer saying "there are a few lingering issues" in response to transactions being delayed for days (sometimes over a week) and BTC not being able to be withdrawn: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5427985

And now they're trying to pretend like your coins are completely safe. They're not. If Coinbase becomes insolvent and goes bankrupt, you won't get your coins back. It happened to Mt. Gox, it sucked for me, and if it happens to Coinbase it's going to suck for you.

Don't put more than a few bucks into this, or whatever you're comfortable with losing.
I suspect the concerns about how large a trust might grow are just camouflage for the people trying to get at the money early.

None of the trusts ever actually grew to be that significant when compared to the wealth of some living persons and dynasties -- the Rockefellers and the Kochs and the Waltons. The set of people terribly concerned about the undo political influence of those running a perpetual trust seems disjoint from the people concerned about the undo political influence of the living rich.
It's the first licensed (as money-transmitter) exchange. The first non-licensed was Gox I guess. And Kraken is European I think.
This is very true. Fighting Excel is like waging the Drug War. You can make what appear to be gains while still losing.

I’m still not understanding the advantages of JWT over cookies for user facing auth.

I do see use cases for JWT for machine-to-machine auth though.
Gig Economy + Economies of Scale + Open Source make cooperatives something that makes a lot of sense economically. It takes a lot of organization effort though, and I don't know who could be the leader on that movement (unions would make sense, but I don't think they're entrepreneurial enough for it).
Do you have a pointer to where do you get that children under seven have bad retention? Or is it a personal observation? (this is not a "citation needed", i'm genuinely interested as I look into spaced repetition from time to time).
This actually is a great present for someone. „Look, I give you a tree in Senegal and you can watch its growing process.“
I have a hard time believing that V8 doesn't do profiling / de-optimizations ... as these are crucial parts for optimizing runtime dispatch or boxing/unboxing of primitives.

I know that V8 doesn't do tracing compiling, but still, it should at least have inline caches.
Additional bridges not only increase the cost of the interchange, but also its size. To allow for a 5 m vertical clearance for the bridge, you will also need approach and exit ramps. If your maximum allowed design slope is 5%, you will need 100 m ramps at each side of the bridge, increasing the size of the interchange by 200 m.
We haven't had a chance to fully test on the mac. But to get the capture dialog to work, try the following:

Enabling Accessibility API

1. Open System Preferences dialog

2. In opened dialog open "Universal Access" settings

3. In the "Universal Access" settings dialog check the "Enable access for assistive devices" option

And then restart the browser and iorad.com

Definitely let me know if this helped the issue and if you are experiencing anything else. You can contact me at spatel iorad.com.
+1 for wishing you had a name in ASCII only. :-/ My last name is Schröder, which some systems can't handle, some systems transcribe to Schroeder, some systems make it Schroder, and some systems handle perfectly. I'm always slightly nervous when booking flight tickets abroad, because there's always some mismatch between what's in my passport, what's in the booking, and what's on my credit card, etc.
My wife an I, when deciding name for our son, immediately skipped all names with "ä", which is quite common in Finnish names.
+1 for DTA

If DTA can't find the link to the content for some reason (it happened to me on youtube a while ago), you can use an addon like LiveHTTPHeaders to sniff HTTP requests and figure out the link for the video.

edit: I forgot to mention that DTA will lag the entire browser like hell and kill your battery, so only use it when plugged in. This happens on Windows + Linux, and idk about OSX.

I really don't understand why FTDs are allowed. Seems like they just add systemic risk in order to enable shorts to manipulate the market more easily. Can't think of a reason why that is desirable unless the goal is to fleece retail investors.

Why not just force the BD to buy at market price to ensure delivery?
> we should stop making arguments based on the false assumption that they are making plenty of money and can shoulder additional costs.

Then we should start accusing them of "dumping" and prosecute accordingly.

Being able to drown all the small players because you have the connections to raise a Gigabuck of VC cash isn't something we should condone.
Are you saying that the Chinese government is subsidizing the entire semiconductor industry to drive US companies out of business?
Personally I'd rather have the larger number of people. If one fan decides to stop being 1/1000 of my income it's a much smaller worry than if 1/100 of my income walks away.

Whales are nice to have but any financial model that includes them is gonna end up focusing on pleasing them. With a broader fan base I mostly need to worry about doing creative work that pleases me.

(I am an artist, and Patreon is a big chunk of how my finances work; this is based on my personal experience of how much stress I feel when a low-level patron leaves vs. a high-level one. Someone else will always show up to replace the low-level ones, not so much with the high-level ones.)
Your comment resonates with me. From our rural house in Ontario there are no other APs visible. None, but our own. I've even started disabling encryption just because I can. But we struggle to get even basic internet connectivity. Interesting that on both ends of the spectrum there are issues.
Minimal you say? How about a simple collection of cli tools to interact with Maildirs!

If you're a CLI junkie like me, I think you'll like mblaze[0]. It's written by one of the maintainers of Void Linux, Lea Neukirchen, FWIW.

Sure. They can. Assuming that they're not reliant on the power grid to back them up when their solar or wind isn't generating so well.

But, even assuming ideal self-sufficient power generation, their Bitcoin are useless unless the rest of the blockchain participants confirm them.

Which requires an interconnected system of networks. An Internet, one could say.

And guess what? the infrastructure to run a national computer network, never mind an international one, also relies on the rule of law and the authority of nation states to provide continuous service.
I moved out of California in 1998 and thankfully didn't have to see the demise of one of my favorite things. I have so many happy memories of shopping at Fry's, it was an experience and a destination (what other retailers have that going for them??)
The fact that you think GP called you narcissistic or a jerk really explains why it's futile to argue with you. You seem to have misread everything about the post you're responding to, including the complete agreement on what an ad hominem is.
Interesting! I stand corrected. Thanks.
I don't listen to billions of musicians: I listen to hundreds of musicians. I don't go to concerts or see live music performed.

Spotify's owners have made it easy for me to listen to those hundreds I like. I don't get any value at all from the creation of those billions I don't listen to. I get daily value from the creation of Spotify's owners.
I'd *like* to do it early in the morning. But laziness sets in faster than me.
It's fine if we were indifferent, but we're doing the opposite of hand holding - we are actively misleading and moving users away from general computing by forcing them into locked down apps and websites.
In terms of quantifiable skills that your typical recruiter will be interested in, not much. In terms of everything else, absolutely. I also had much more fun in my 20s this way than I probably would have had otherwise, at the expense of entering my 30s broke.
Why would peer to peer cash a la Monero die as long as you can make a connection with TLS though? You probably refer to the uninformed retail investor hype more than anything else.
Personally, I have a hard time with moderation, and doing things gradually. I'm very much all or nothing, so it's easier for me to say "no caffeine in any circumstance!" than "okay just a little caffeine each day", because at that point it's easy to convince myself "well half a cup was fine, so just a sip more won't really make a difference."
I don't get why you need a class or video at all

Spin classes are just HIIT over a 30-60 minute window.

Throw on some tunes and move your ass. If you're not sweaty or tired by the time you're done you did it wrong

Tada.
That would be my exact use-case for a service like this: monitoring a domain I have pointing at localhost (and not only for expiry, but also for revocation). At least currently the demo check fails on trying on trying to establish a connection[0], although a valid certificate definitely exists[1].

Does this video series actually sell any blenders?
DHS should really be focusing resources on domestic terrorism rather than shutting down a few websites. If even one American civilian dies because DHS was busy shutting down blogs instead of shutting down a terrorist group ho will they feel then? Obviously they won't care like usual but still.
I think we're perhaps talking about two different things.

There's a big difference between the massive chunk of valuable 700Mhz spectrum that the FCC auctioned off in 2008 (with much fanfare), and the recent decision to formally allow unlicensed use of the "white spaces" between existing licensed frequencies.
Now blend the cloud!!!!
I think every company is like this, which is what's depressing. Solid and reliable software is not in demand, and where it is, it's assumed that process (not creativity) is what gets it.

It's OK, though, because I can write solid software faster than other people can write shitty software :)
I noticed that counts show up sometime, and sometimes it doesn't. Since this is not consistent behavior, I assumed this is a bug.

I'd be curious to know why this changes.. I am trying to find out the most common news source on HN based on comments.
Android has a significant share in consumer wireless internet. Linux has rounding error in consumer wired internet.
Cocoa supposed to be good for the brain as well. Think I'll pound a few mocha's and see if I can increase my kill:death ratio on call of duty.
Chrome and Android are both a huge success. Google takes a long-term view which doesn't require every product to immediately pay for itself, which is very smart. The long term value of owning these platforms is immense.

Also, your notion that "Wave was not a risk" is similarly mistaken. The opportunity cost of having a large team of smart people working for several years is enormous.
I'm building GridBeams (http://www.gridbeam.com/) in my garage. I've wanted to play with them for years.

Seemed like a good time and I needed something to get me off the computer and away from constantly looking at all of the news.

The first few I made were a little ugly and off. Now they are getting nicer and I'm faster. I've got 4 8 footers done. I'll start cutting them up and building some small things today.

I'm going to use some with my daughter to prototype the inside of van she's converting to travel and live in.
> But when manager is like "can you create a couple slides about...." total deer in the headlights.

I'm just like that. But I received wisdom from a friend that helped me a lot. The following "three" rules:

RULE 1. No bullet lists

RULE 2. No bullet lists

RULE 3. At least one meaningful image per slide, covering more than 50% of its surface

Then, you explain your subject like you would to a friend in a bar, keeping the slides as useful side material.
Yep; you’re right. And Metal isn’t the only goal. Preventing people from going off the reservation is the goal. I can see both sides; there are both upsides and downsides for both Apple and their customers. Either way, at this point, Apple’s strategy is clear and widely known. It sucks you can’t use eGPU with Mac, and I’d still be primarily using a Mac if you could, but it’s no longer an available choice. As consumers, the only option now is to vote with our pocketbooks.
DDG is still bad for

* Languages other than English

* Regional search

not everybody is living in the USA. DDG simply does not work good enough in a global world!
Are you sure about that? Bits have mass.
The goal isn't to get rid of files so much as filing cabinets and folders. I think we are still a long way from that.
Craig Matthews, cited and pictured in the article, is my son-in-law's father. He's told this story a few times in my presence and I've always got the chills. What this article doesn't mention is that when he grabbed the floating cable, the size of a man's arm, with the grappling hook, the two vessels were both riding up-and-down on monster waves. So first, they had to synch both up to even make the grab possible. To hear him tell it, it was a totally hair-raising experience. His peers now know him as "The guy who tied THAT KNOT on THAT DAY." It may be the most famous "Bowline" knot ever after that write-up.
A while back I documented the steps necessary to encrypt GMail using Thunderbird on Windows. Does anyone have a working list of instructions for encrypting e-mail that are significantly simpler?

http://davidjarvis.ca/encryption/

In other words, how can the number of steps to achieve desktop e-mail encryption be reduced to the point where the majority of users can accomplish this task autonomously--and what are those steps?

Happy New Year!
Youku and tudou are virtually a mirror of youtube. Not to mention new entrants like bilibili. I would say the Chinese video scene is much more wild and crazy than outside of China.
Safety is probably quite deeply ingrained in the Swedish culture - so much that, for many years, Volvo's slogan was "drive safely".
If it makes you feel any better these sort of games go on whenever cross discipline research occurs. It is all about controlling the research undertaken by the student.
Why Verizon Don't Have the iPhone: http://money.cnn.com/2010/05/28/technology/verizon_iphone/in...

New standards are coming in next year. Makes little sense for Apple to make a CDMA phone now.
I don't think you understand how things work down here.

- The current government will build this at a cost to the taxpayer of (say) $300m.
- The next government will sell it for $100m to raise some cash and create an effective monopoly owned by one party with a verbal contract not to screw everyone over, at least not initially.
- The government after that, under pressure due to the relentless screwing of NZers by the monopoly company, will buy back the network for $600m.
- The new state-owned company will hire consultants for $50m to design a new logo. The logo will resemble a puppy shitting on a Rolex.
- Due to ineffective management, the company will be split up into chunks and sold for a fraction of the original cost. The chunks will immediately merge into a monopoly.
Froyo is already much faster.
People may have strong feelings on the subject (iPhone vs Android). This may lead to upvoting based on title instead of content.

When this happens, I usually flag the article.
This happens on practically all social networks. Had I been told in advance that it would be submitted for a Hacker News crowd, I would have made some changes. :)
Hmmm perhaps that should be:

Scientists reverse Fragile X syndrome in a mouse model.
For those who want to see a naive extension in action, I did a quick version of Helvetireader to the Safari extension format. It's trivial, but it also is a good template for further injection projects:

http://kirindave.tumblr.com/post/675464589/safari-5-port-of-...

My big question is: will these make it to the iPad version of Safari?
Agreed on this comment 100%.

I think Android is going to have more handsets, manufacturers, carriers, and eventually users. Their products are going to continually improve. The recent past has shown momentum on the innovation side that is lapping iPhone, I believe. I don't think iPhone is going to open up at quite a rate.
Here's a small change you can make to engage users:

Tell them benefits not features. Users will like that more. Make all the bullet points speak for how awesome your product is!
I think you mean http://plasticsurgeonopener.com/
We're pushing city request now so that it works.
Your question intrigued me, so I ran a quick script against the current Hackage database (the list of packages you download from Hackage when you run `cabal update`). Here are my results:

BSD3: 2159 (72.38%)
GPL: 345 (11.57%)
LGPL: 117 (3.92%)
OtherLicense: 107 (3.59%)
PublicDomain: 85 (2.85%)
MIT: 67 (2.25%)
GPL-3: 64 (2.15%)
LGPL-2.1: 16 (0.54%)
GPL-2: 12 (0.4%)
LGPL-3: 8 (0.27%)
BSD4: 3 (0.1%)

Two libraries didn't list their license in their .cabal file. One of these is (from looking at their license file) available under a simple permissive license; the other doesn't make it clear.
Am I the only one who doesn't get this whole deal phenomenon? Maybe it's because I am in a small town or something, but I do not get it at all.
