I think Fred's point was that it's an entirely new market opening up. As you say, a middle-class value-conscious market. It will be a huge market, so businesses need to get out in front of it. But replicatorblog's point (as I understand it) is that iOS will still own the high-end of that market, and that segment is worth more $$$ than its number's suggest. If you're in control of the high-end, you can exert undue influence on consumer mind-share and developers. That matters for something.

Anyway, IMO this is not an iOS-vs-Android issue. New markets are going to open up, Android will be there. iOS will still be a cash-cow. Win-win, everybody celebrate (except Microsoft)
If Balsam accepted donations, I'd be sending him $25 right now, hopefully joined by 10 million other people.
In Auastralia the plan I've just moved to (http://www.tpg.com.au/mobile/plans.html) gives me enough calls, text and data for $15 a month without any lock in.

I've been looking into US contracts in preperation for a move and was shocked at the rates people are willing to pay.
If I'm infringing someone's copyright by typing "big breasts" then half the internet owes them money.
I hadn't seen this before, but on your main site, because you start talking about HTML5 so early (and the first headline says HTML5), I thought the site was a tutorial about the benefits of HTML5.

In my opinion I think you should reorder your site so that the first headline and blurb explain that Radi is a Mac Application for producting HTML5 compatible vector animations. The stuff about HTML5 can probably be below the fold.

Just use UUIDs and be done with it. I'll give you a $1 if you ever see a collision ;-)
Probably not an American Film studio.
Let me turn this question around a little. I'm a manager of a software development department. I have a coder who works best at night. I got upset with him for falling asleep at his desk. Not once, but many times. He tells me "I'm up all night working".

To make this situation worse, our office is very over-crowded. It's hard for me to see how anyone gets anything done.

But, we have meetings the devs need to be at. Project scoping, standups with the stakeholders, etc. Plus, major architecture decisions are made in person. So, we have a pretty strict "work from home only twice per week" rule.

How do I let this developer work when he is at his best, without excluding him from critical decisions? And, how do I encourage him to work at his best, without encouraging the lower-performing members to see it as an opportunity to slack off?
They don't have an absolute duty to maximize returns. But if they're taking deliberate and material actions that go against shareholder interests, they are required to publicly disclose that.

For example there are non-profit corporations, and of course that's perfectly legal, but they're not allowed to masquerade as if they aren't. The key test for securities fraud is advance and public disclosure.

It's funny you bring up the party example, because that's exactly what Tyco did. And it resulted in a $3 billion securities fraud payout.

(opinion) Allowing incitement as free speech only makes sense if you can/will hold them accountable for the results of their speech instead. It's either/or, but not neither/nor.

If I say to you, "please shoot john smith", and you do - I should either be held responsible for saying thus, or accomplice in the result. I can't imagine anyone would claim I was without fault or responsibility. To my mind, free-speech maximalism should hold me innocent of saying it, but has no bearing on my being accomplice to the result.
"The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent". This is nothing new.

I love Tesla but when even Musk himself looks at the stock price and tweets "LOL, stonks", you know something must be off.
Like gab.ai and Parler? LOL.
Yeah i didn't mean to imply that the bubble assertion was false, merely point out that a ton of people also think it's a bubble (and have for years), and so far have paid a huge price for that bet.
I am really really curious, who are selling the Bitcoins? If you see the price these days, the conventional wisdom is to HODL, but lo and behold, there are sellers. Who are these people? How did they get so many Bitcoins and why are they selling?
I made a longer post below (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2452958) that explains it all a bit better, but for poker players, their balances on poker sites serve both as checking accounts (in many ways) and as their capital. That's like asking why a corporation's value is tied up in its stock. A poker player's account balance is his livelihood.

You can sit at some tables with $100K. It's very easy to 4-table. Moreover, it's very easy to have a 10-buy-in swing. This means that at a bare minimum, a legitimate player has at least 15 buy-ins on any given site, and he damned well better have another 15-25 somewhere else (cash, other sites, etc.) if he doesn't want to risk blowing his entire bankroll (going "busto").

The players with these kinds of balances are part of a very tight-knit community that is largely centered around 2+2. FullTilt and PokerStars both have representatives that post there. It is basically to the poker world what Hacker News is to the tech world. If even one player's money was seized for an undisclosed reason, the major sites (which make money hand-over-fist daily from rake) would lose a lot of faith, and their entire business model centers on their customers' good faith.

There were a few people cheating before on UltimateBet and AbsolutePoker. Thanks to the aforementioned community reconciling various players' hand databases (each hand can be logged), they were caught and both of those sites lost a ton of business.
Hire dyndns and don't worry about it again.
I'm unconvinced that the "client pays legal fees" clause is really a sure thing. All the client has to do is make the argument on some other basis, and suddenly it's not a collections issue but a dispute over something else in the contract. In most states, each side will pay their own legal freight in such civil complaints.
outright purchase is much less important than who can win a long legal battle. Don't sue someone who has more cash on hand than your net worth. it's dumb, especially when there's a lot of gray area around what specific license is on a particular song.
One important note that isn't mentioned here. From what I understand, major/towered airports often have crews working the ground at night (due to the low traffic), towing planes, etc, and communicating with the tower over their own frequencies. Not expecting an unmanned tower themselves, they could easily try to "wing it" as best as they could to get their job done.

Sure pilots can avoid each other on the normal control frequencies, but the situation on the ground could be unexpectedly dangerous to ground crew/vehicles, especially in a night landing.
>Why is this at the top of HN?

Because a bunch of people voted it up because it's relevant and useful to a bunch of people even though it's been on HN before. Can you believe it?
The "easy" thing to do is to download it to your computer and sync it through iTunes.

As far as 3rd party audiobook player solutions, no idea. Maybe there's one that can download it, or maybe they're all tied in to their own audiobook stores. That seems to be the trend these days :(
2006? That's the last obvious change I see in WayBack Machine (addition of the blue side buttons).
The best satire is totally believable. He got me for a second too. I could totally picture the responsive web site and About Us page complete with a picture of the guy’s dog captioned Chief Bark Officer.
Firefox 55 has all of those features! I just never updated.

Sure, these extensions and workarounds are dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love well behaved web browsers.
If you implement webmention spec then the URL and page that mention you have to have a link on the page back to the post they are mentioning. This filters out a lot of spam. There's a more complicated anti-spam system that isn't fully implemented yet.

I personally run a catch-all for POSTs on my webmention endpoint so I can do pingback and arbitrary stuff with it too. In terms of spam, yeah, old trackback/pingback spammers are still doing their thing. I get a dozen or so a day. It's easy to filter most out by looking for any triplicate or greater POSTs but that requires doing batch processing.

Overall I think webmention would fall to spam if it became popular but right now it's a wonderful time. This applies to all systems open enough to be useful. It's the natural lifecycle.
Carmen San Diego was able to steal the Statue of Liberty...

...but seriously, how many places do you think in a city you can store a car? How do you recognize said stolen car? How long would it take to verify the vin numbers? It sounds like something you'd need Hercules or Sherlock Holmes for.
Just don't pronounce it "six"

As far as I understood doctors, in march there was no guidelines for the disease. It was considered as a respiratory disease.

Later on, it was requalified as a vascular disease, scientists looked at cytokines / interleukin (I AM A ELECTRONIC ENGINEER, please correct me doctors).

Now, there is some systematic treatments earlier (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2770275), so yes, far fewer patients needs an invasive ventilator.

And that is great.
Out of curiosity, what do you use to communicate with friends / distant family members when you have to?

Most of my WhatsApp use has been to stay in touch with friends / families. Planning trips is almost impossible without WhatsApp for me and my groups.

Participating in traffic all comes down to being as predictable as possible, I think.
>I think you are confusing right learning opinions with outright racism, anti-Semitism and calling for violence against various minority groups.

I'm not. For example, I was banned like a week ago from a sub for arguing that it's not obviously selfish/evil for someone to travel during COVID if one is allowed to do so. It was on a travel-related subreddit where there were no rules to this effect, but a mod felt that this sort of attitude was tantamount to advocating manslaughter.

Most subs will not have "no conservatives allowed" rules but the enforcement patterns often will not follow the rules.
Unfortunately, people in Brazil don't want to use SMS anymore. They replaced it by WhatsApp because well, they can show their happy life in Stories, see if someone is online, if they saw the message or are answering it... Really bad
For those of you looking to get this going here's a tip: At the moment there is a bug in Crouton where you need to put "wixi" first in the list of targets when building a new chroot to get the extension to bind correctly.

Is there any study comparing observant Mormons vs. a similar population showing better health?

There are studies comparing longevity at least.
http://www.scientificintegrityinstitute.org/prevmed2008lifes...

active Mormons from age 25 (Anderson, 1999). Males had a life expectancy of 84.1 years, which was 9.8 years greater than that of 1989–1991 U.S. white males. Females had a life expectancy of 86.1 years, which was 5.6 years greater than that of 1989–1991 U.S. white females
Off-topic, but I found the example conversation a bit jarring. You know how in advertising photos people are incredibly excited to be eating salad, yet real life is nothing like that? The conversation in the screenshot sounds like made-up copy to me, yet it is ostensibly a real chat between the author and an acquaintance. So I am left to wonder: are actual people really that giddy about trivialities in real life? Are they on drugs all the times? Or am I just an old curmudgeon?
Having dealt with a wide range of great to a-hole scientists, I think you're subtly onto something here.

Great scientists propagate through having a strong lineage. They effectively train, nurture, and then spin out more great scientists. The a-holes drive their progeny away from science. They effectively kill their own future. The great scientists end up promoting and extending their work through their academic children and grandchildren. I've seen both patterns up close and personally.

The big difference with investors is where academic progeny are closely related, usually in one field, investors are challenged by investing in closely aligned companies, given the many conflicts of interest. That's not to say an investor can't have a sector bias. But even companies close to one another are unlikely to benefit from each other.
The first screenshot displayed to the user in Play Store depends upon the platform that you are using to view the Play Store entry. Check out within your Play Store app on Android phone and it would display a screenshot with red sky. For tablets and desktops I chose the blue one to be displayed first.
This reminds me of The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing[1], in a funny way (bear with me).

In pricing, if you have features in common with other vendors then those features are commodities and basically valueless. But the features you have that no one else has - those make you priceless.

For example, S3's uptime record makes it a different product than e.g., DreamObjects, even though they are API compatible.

Similarly, while VCs are all providing the ultimate commodity product (dumb money), its the features which no one else has that make investors like Ron Conway priceless. There's plenty of other VCs, but they are not substitute products for Ronco.

Finally, the way to find these unique, priceless features is to look for extremes:

- Cloud hosting with not just 99.99% uptime, but 100% uptime
- Email inboxes with not just a lot of storage, but *unlimited* storage
- Photos developed not just faster, but *instantly*
- A VC with not just a great track record of doing the right thing, but a *perfect* record

And as a consumer, these are the companies you want to do business with: the Rackspaces, the Ron Conways, and the Stripes of this world.

[1] If you read one business book this year, make it The Strategy and Tactics of Pricing. If you don't think a book on pricing can change your life, you haven't read this book. Protip: get an older edition and save a ton of dough.
For the curious, this will eventually integrate with Visual Studio.
Honestly if iMessage could just auto-detect a POI and clicking that would take me to Yelp, it would be perfect. I don't need any more functionality in iMessage.
I understand that the payment services are PCI compliant. But on a literal reading of the actual PCI DSS 3 documentation, specifically who is covered by the new A-EP case, that doesn't appear to help unless the entire "shopping" part of the site is also hosted by a merchant or third party service that is PCI compliant.

Otherwise, the merchant still appears to come into scope, because at some point they must redirect their customer to the externally hosted payment pages or load the externally hosted checkout system from the merchant's site, one way or another.

So basically, it looks like anyone who has any sort of shopping site they run themselves (as opposed to hosting entirely on a third party marketplace site) but who uses Stripe, PayPal, a hosted card payment page offered by their bank, or literally any other third party card payment system, will fall into scope and be required to operate and audit the entire relevant part of their web site according to the PCI DSS 3 rules. But that is obviously far beyond the reasonable capabilities of most merchants who might find themselves in that position, either technically or commercially.

Edit: In short, when you wrote:

Sites remotely hosting js are definitely an attack vector that PCI hasn't yet decided to put in scope.

I haven't yet found anything that says why such a site doesn't fall into scope now just like everyone else. Indeed, the new rules seem to be clearly aimed at such sites as I read them.

You can also --- actually, should always --- say "Great, I think we're in the ballpark. I'll need a day or two to consider."

The first number offered by an employer (for the benefit of the grandparent commenter) is --- practically always --- their floor. They expect some fraction of candidates to make a higher ask, and they can't predict which candidates those are, so there's a safety margin built into the first offer. Any number inside that margin is, for the purposes and incentives of the hiring manager, the same as the floor, so there is no reason ever to accept it.

"We're in the ballpark" is a convenient way of saying "no" that sounds a whole lot like "yes". It comes in handy all over the place!

"I'll need a day or two two consider" allows you to take the negotiation offline. If you're more comfortable, for instance, making a counteroffer via email than on the phone, "I'll need a day" accomplishes that for you (a good hiring manager is going to get you right back on the phone when you make that email counter, though). Since every piece of job hunting advice ever written suggests that candidates ask for a day to consider, every sane hiring manager (a) expects you to ask and (b) will happily concede.
That stance has only become mainstream since the enlightenment. Before then, people thought God was clearly active in everyday life. After all, who else could visit droughts on lands that didn't worship him enough? Or send plagues to towns of the unfaithful? Or destroy false churches and temples with earthquakes and lightning? As late as the 1700's, people were advised to stay away from churches during thunderstorms so as to avoid divine retribution.

This isn't just historical fact. The Bible itself contains multiple instances of people successfully testing Yahweh's existence. In fact, one of the earliest documentations of a scientific experiment is the story of Elijah and the priests of Baal.[1] In it, Elijah and the priests both try to set fire to piles of wood by praying to their gods. Elijah makes it more challenging for himself by having his pile soaked with water. The 450 priests of Baal are unable to summon fire for their dry pile, but Yahweh lights Elijah's water-soaked pile. This being the old testament, Elijah has all the priests of Baal killed afterwards.

Why the change in views today? It's not that complicated. Religions have been forced to change in response to challenges from science. The reason people say God is unmeasurable today is because we tried to measure him and found nothing.

Amusing aside: Whenever I see anybody mention a "dashboard" in business, I'm reminded of the kiddie toy for long car trips, that has a brightly colored steering wheel, several interesting levers and knobs, a mirror, etc. The idea is that the tykes can pretend that they're driving.
have an upvote from me too.

But I think what people might be doing is driving this comment to the bottom because actual debates on religious beliefs usually go badly on internet forums in general. Without collapsible comments, such things have a tendency to blow up a thread.

I've heard that it was considered extremely impolite to discuss politics or religion in public in the 1800's. I wish that were a little more true today.

This user stalked me from a previous comment chain. Essentially they are bought into critical theory and I'm bought into systems theory so we're talking past each other.

It's kind of amusing given we're presumably after the same thing (reducing power differentials) but by different means.
Notice how the things we are able to speak most concretely about are the things which are most remote from most people’s experience?

Memory shares a property with holograms or with lenses/mirrors. If you draw a spot with a marker on one and looks at/through it, you don’t see the spot rather you see a slight loss of image quality across the image.

If you wipe out a bit of brain your memories degrade a bit. Somehow the encoding of memory is holographic.

We just need a different set of mathematical skills/tools to understand this property. From the point of view of traditional scientists it’s not something they know how to tackle.

Personally I think we should look at the brain (and DNA) with a signal processing lens. How data is encoded in the brain is something engineers could answer. Neural networks too are analog computers and spike signals are encoded with a variety of modulation schemes. If we understand those we don’t need to model neutrons the way we do (which is very inefficient, using floating point etc.) but by custom single-transistor analog circuits. That might help advance computation in general...once we understand how the brain is doing it.
Sorry for the slow reply, finished my last final of my undergraduate career!

We are in Oregon - I just moved up to Portland and Zack is in Eugene. There are a decent amount of great climbing, though alot of the cool stuff is out of reach unless you are comfortable leading trad.
From all the game engines I've seen in the last years, Bevy looks the most promising.

The API looks very clean and the development speed is outstanding for an open-source product.

After reading that Rust now plays in the C/C++ league I'm really excited about Bevy.
I'm Homeschooling my kids because schools are inefficient and I owe most of what I use to make a living by participating in open source communities. The post-internet homeschool movement presently is a bit like the free software or homebrew computer movement of the 1980s, just getting started and accessible to the privileged, but we're all building a future where all can participate and finding the right approach.

Children should be free to explore, learn, play, and be productive in things that matter to them.
I'm sorry, your "original" question doesn't seem to exist in your previous comments, so hard for me to answer it...

You get people to adopt technology or paradigms by explaining the benefits and drawbacks of adopting that set of technology/paradigm and then discussing it together with your team/s. Not sure why it would be different for Statecharts compared to any other paradigm?

What process is too hard for you now exactly, to describe states or something? You're already doing this implicitly when you write UI code with state. Statecharts only changes it from being implicit to being explicit. If you're having a hard time actually naming your states, you can use tools like https://sketch.systems/ to explore what you're building with a simple DSL, then implement it properly in the programming language of your choice.
Maybe this site is the best place to ask. There are two major things we could use help with:

- the games do not run particularly well on the raspberry pi (any version really) and I have a feeling it's at least partially due to the OpenGL layer. We could really use someone with how to optimize OpenGL (especially on the pi).

- physics have always been wonky beyond 30fps. I think someone with a good knowledge of game physics could really help us here.
