The claim that Google has significant and durable market power in the search engine market doesn't hold up even by the FTC definition you quote here. There's plenty of competition, and the switching cost for consumers is literally nothing. They clearly aren't able (or aren't trying) to exclude competitors, since all of their competitors I can think of are still in business (Bing, Baidu, Yahoo, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, Brave, probably more...), and they clearly don't have the ability to raise prices (can you imagine how instantly Google Search would be consigned to irrelevance if they tried to charge users for searches?). This isn't a market that's in the grips of a monopolist limiting competition, this is an extremely competitive market, so competitive that the cost to the end-user has been driven down to literally nothing. It's not quite the most competitive market that exists, since the market for credit cards is so competitive that credit card providers actually pay users to use their credit cards, but it's close, and Brave has been testing those waters in the search engine market recently.
That'd make it less realistic
Interesting thing is for most people it seems to be important to have available a big selection of apps. That has been for years the excuse of why windows phones are not more popular.
I suspect the multiplayer took a lot of inspiration from Thievery:UT, a total conversion / mod for Unreal Tournament that offers a multiplayer game inspired by the game Thief.

One of the developers for Splinter Cell, in his spare time, helped out with the project and probably benefitted tremendously from all the multiplayer testing and balancing we did.

At some point he asked all the team members for our real names and put us in some of the communications documents/emails in the actual game. It's really odd to see my name pop up in GameFAQs walkthroughs and such, and perhaps a bit depressing to know that it's what 'my name' is most famous for. But mostly fun.

I never played the SC multiplayer, but Thievery:UT has been some of the most fun I've ever had multiplayer, more than all the UT, Quake, Age Of Empires, and whatnot.
I'd recommend using Edge.js for that:

Part of what inspired me to dig these up today was the spamwall.
Thanks for remembering and mentioning us. We don't have as huge a marketing budget as the other folks, so I'm going to shamelessly piggy back on your comment here.

We also do Scala, Kotlin, Clojure etc. and we are OSS as well (we started out as OSS). You can build unlimited apps without paying us a dime. You can also compile the entire compiler plus Eclipse/Idea/Maven/Gradle integration yourself so you aren't locked in.

We expose all iOS APIs and have a custom bridge besides JNI to make binding and subclassing of Objective-C APIs and C APIs as seamless as JNA or p/invoke, but without performance overhead. We use LLVM to compile JVM bytecode to native code directly, so performance is excellent and on par with Objective-C.

At this point you can write apps for iOS and Android, using the native UI APIs, and share business logic between them and your backend, if that's also JVM based. I personally think that using native UI APIs is best. However, for CRUD or enterprise apps you may not care about shininess, which is why our next focus will be on a cross-platform UI toolkit for Android and iOS.

You do have to pay for debugging support, interface builder integration and SLAs/hotfixing. We hope that's a fair way of supporting our OSS work.

Now I feel dirty...

The funniest one is an auto correct bug. If you make a text area that is limited to n characters, and auto correct changes the word you are typing to be n + 1 characters Safari completely crashes. I learned this one several times filling out a very long web form and just gave up and moved to Chrome.
Early adopters to the blockchain and crypto market will position themselves favorably in ten years.
No, he will not. Doing the literal minimum does not make you a patriot, and history will be lukewarm to him at best.

“He didn’t follow through with the coup” is the best he can hope for.
I still fail to see how switching from fully E2E encrypted WhatsApp to most-of-the-time NOT E2E encrypted Telegram is an improvement.
It's not impossible. If you live off your income then you've already been excluded from purchasing a house. This is what happens when wealth inequality becomes very extreme.
my birthday is at the end of the month, during a processing of a document for my US visa 10+ years ago, I was dealing with 2 different sites, one accomodating my local date formatting, and one fixed for the US standard. I was puzzled that I had been made 2 years younger when verifying my data, turned out my birth date of month was now month number 24+ of the year, pushing my birth ahead, and my birtb month had become my birth date of month.
"Jaw-dropping" is definitely a term I'd use to describe some of her more infamous tweets and blog posts, too.
I think the issue is all the strings that must be grepped for and replaced in the scripts prior to installation.
Really? WCF? Really, you're sticking up for WCF?
Oh, yeah. She would never leave me over something like that, but I definitely got the look. If it was a matter of money, I know she would totally understand. But in her mind and essentially every girl I've ever met, it's a diamond they want. Even if it's a small one, it's symbolic.
I am incredibly thrilled to see you move the workshop in this direction. Also incredibly happy to see you team up with the PoC||GTFO crew to help shake things up. Academic publishing is in really bad need of it.

I am less excited however, that with these goals you decided to have the workshop so close to CCC Camp. I assume that was USENIX scheduling, but kinda rough for people going to CCC Camp to go to WOOT too.

Edit: I originally thought this was during CCC Camp and freaked out. My calendar was wrong, sorry about that.
Highly recommend "Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway". Great book on why Japanese navy was doomed to lose at Midway.
Why don't you find a way to work Node into your side project? If you modularize what you build in node nicely, you can break it out into its own repo and post it. :)

Also, I personally take advantage of failed side projects from the past by open sourcing them. Really helps in interviews!
and I don't think it needs a new set of flags since it, for me, does the right thing with -f currently.
Definitely seconding that recommendation. It is fantastic how uncomfortable it makes me feel; I usually don't get too many emotions from media.
Proud user of Dropbox, lot of people around me using it as well, even received 50gb of storage with my S3. I guess I know what it does, but thinking about Business version - anyone here with any cons? Especially in terms of sharing stuff in/out of the company?
The number one reason IE fell out of favor was extensions. Firefox introducing extensions revolutionized the browser experience, and MS sat with the head in the sand for FARRRR too long. That combined with the repeated spyware targeted at IE, and it quickly got a reputation as being slow (as a result of the spyware, I personally never had an issue with IE speed out of the box), insecure, and with fewer features to boot.

I seem to recall at least early on, IE also refused to implement tabs, which were vital to a power user. I can't even imagine going back to having a window per website... ugh, the bad old days.
>However, I was wrong - the Java/Dalvik as a first class is actually better, Google got the possibility to be CPU-architecture independent.

Just about anything would have been better than Java. I'm not a big fan of C#, but CLR would have been better. Even JavaScript would have been better. But an intermediate VM language (like the LLVM intermediate representation) would have been the best option, if CPU architecture targeting were the concern.

I do games, primarily. And writing games in Java (which is what Google tells you to do -- though they finally gave in to pressure and added the NDK) just sucks, because you have to ship the JDK when shipping on every other platform -- or you need to write your game twice.

So pretty much every major game uses C/C++ despite it being the ugly stepchild of Android. Google set up the dev environment so that you can add as many target architectures as you want, making your APK "fat", or alternately shipping various APKs with different architectures in them and letting the store pick the appropriate version. Which works, but is ugly.

C and C++ have been CPU-architecture-independent for a long time, and if they DIDN'T want to force the multi-binary approach, using LLVM to build to an intermediate language and compiling for each platform would have been an even better fix.

Intel and MIPS are not first-class citizens, by the way, because the NDK exists, and many developers still only ship ARM binaries. And while other platforms ship with ARM emulators, they're buggy: An app I'm currently working on just fails on MIPS, and there are few enough people with MIPS devices that the client decided to just not support MIPS (our build process uses libraries that aren't build using the Android.mk system, so I can't just add "mips" to the platform list).
Fair enough, but my point was that for things where you'd benefit from a mechanic walking you through a task, you'll probably need some specialty tools to do the job.

Also, apologies for my brusqueness.
You can make pretty much the same argument for Chatroulette (yeah, yeah, minus the oh, but audio allows us to multi-task). I am surprised Ben Thompson of all people thinks the necessity to be live is a plus. Async consumption (sitting on the potty, commute, smoke break, in bed scrolling yourself to sleep) is where your tiktoks and snaps and grams get consumed. The other thing that makes me willing to wager this goes the Chatroulette and Google Plus way is the male skew. I'd also like to coin a neologism for the inevitable narcisstic bloviation that will come to flood Clubhouse -- micdics
You could just take "Show HN" out of the title. (Email the mods if it's too late to edit.)
After some thinking, I've got a theory: Deaths lag behind the infections by say 4 weeks. If the infections are falling after a peak, deaths are still rising or plateauing for 4 weeks. That means the ratio deaths/infections will produce a peak that lags the infection peak by 4 weeks, because the divisor is getting smaller while the dividend is still rising. Now if you look at the numbers for Israel, there is a plateau in the CFR for the last few weeks, it looks quite flat. However, e.g. Germany or Austria do have a pronounced peak there. The UK slightly less so.

So I would argue that we do see the CFR being lower than the peak we would expect without working vaccinations.
He never works - he plays with intense and persevering concentration.... if only I could do that...
I guess you somehow missed the film "Mirror" (1975). It's my favorite of his works. It is only 1h47m, has a female main character, and I don't feel like it's trying to teach morals. Oh, and it has stunning visuals and cinematography. The fire scene, the interiors, the colors... Now I have to re-watch.
I would generally agree with you when talking about things like running a k8s/k3s cluster for hosting your weblog on your Raspi. With Nomad it's different though, setup on a single server is basically a 10-line systemd service definition and then you can start submitting Nomad jobs to it that are equally easy to write. You get things like cron jobs (which is more complex with systemd), parametrised jobs with multiple parameters (not possible with systemd), restart policies (easy to mess those up with systemd) and a really polished admin UI which allows to start/stop/restart jobs and sh-ing into running jobs / containers. And all for the overhead of a single systemd service.
StatOil is a state owned oil company. Australia could have created a state owned mining company, if that had really been a problem. I guess it preferred not to.

And in Roman formations they were used in much the same way later and earlier combatants used spears: tightly locked ranks of shields, with the sword as a thrusting weapon.
When Jason Calacanis interviewed him at Launch Fest in March, Jason suggested David could & should be Ballmer's successor, ASAP. David politely dismissed the idea, but it seemed to me that the notion wasn't completely foreign to him or that he wouldn't be interested in such a thing.
I don't think it follows. Obsession about a niche topic + good social sense = you're not likely to mention it during random conversations with regular people.

Another worthwhile blog post sullied by an over-sensationalized headline, from the author of How to Change the World.

Let's be honest, this is triage to save the life of people dying on the streets. And frankly, I find that to be a far more galvanizing rallying cry than making homelessness history.
On the other hand, the "full reserve" is handy when you need to return a rental with a "full" tank of gas.
Interesting, although it's not clear what's wrong with using Redis. I would store the object id's in a list, and each object as a hash. I'm not familiar with the Ruby client for Redis, but in python, storing objects to a hash is trivial.
umm haha? of course why do i need a land line?

NOW..... Where the hell did i leave that damn abacus ..
If it were novel research, the author would have been an idiot to blog it instead of publishing it in some peer-reviewed journal. No one claimed that it was novel. I thought it was interesting, that's why I submitted it to HN.
I would also like a + or - search for that.
Have you ever talked to him?
A couple of comments.

1. It is not immediately obvious to someone visiting the website for the first time what the + and - icons do. Seasoned users might notice something different, click on it and realize, but it would be nice to advertise your new feature.

2. When choosing flexibility, almost always I click on a date that is most suitable to me and from there on would like to navigate to more flexible dates. If I choose a date x and would like to search flights on x-1, x, and x+1, I would have to change the date to x-1 and then choose +2 or choose x+1 and then choose -2. That might be slightly inconvenient, but not much. It would be nice to allow you to choose days ahead and behind independently. That way I choose a date, realize I could be flexible and maybe choose +2 days and -1 days (or whatever).
Sure, setting false expectations will obviously do yourself a disservice. Not quite sure what your comment means with regards to building buzz and doing pre-launch marketing?
Except that there's far less reason for Sparrow to advertise itself like that.
Interesting, I hadn't considered that angle. Are all W|A results public domain?
However, many like WordPerfect were just doing dumb business decisions that led them out of business.

Have you actually worked in an environment like that? In my experience, hoteling as the only option is deeply unpleasant. People like to have a single place to go. They like to have a desk they can personalize. They like to have a place they can leave their stuff overnight.

If you only provide hoteling, I think the majority of people will just claim a desk as theirs, and you effectively have no hoteling at all.
yes, that's me
Interesting point of view. I started coding 7 years after you (started real young, too) and I'm pretty sure the reason I picked up coding was because it was so easy to just get "hello world" running in GWBasic (and then Turbo Pascal).
That would be coal; oil adds the property that they vanish completely (from the user's perspective anyway) when they're flat, so you've got zero disposal issues.
Web development isn't broken - its just difficult to do. Which is why you have to know all this stuff to do it well.

Modern Property development is broken. First I need to have a registered architect design a building, then I need to purchase the land, then get government approval, then deal with contractors and bank financing. I just want to choose a spot in a city and then start building my dream building. This is 2011 and this is the best we can do?

</sarcastic example>
Truth be told, the only cross-platform GUI solution I found that works was, well, HTML. All the more reasons to make web development better.

Edit: I initially wrote "GUI framework".
Very good tips.
I know. That bothers me too, to think that we'd have all these computers churning bitcoins instead of computing gene-folding and whatnot.

However, you could argue that mining for gold or diamonds is even worse. You ruin the land with strip mining, you get "conflict diamonds" responsible for a lot of human suffering and at the end of the day you just have more precious useless metal that you store in a vault.
The name is rather unfortunate, but the project is quite interesting. I had no idea Vuze, which used to be Azureus, had re-packaged itself as an abstracted DHT provider.

I'm disappointed the author chose to tightly couple their implementation to Vuze. What if an operator wanted to use the system on a private network of machines? Why not implement the functionality using a Kademlia library instead?

Finally, I'm extremely disappointed at the lack of openness in this paper, and indeed in all papers on Systems We Make. The lack of reproducibility in computational sciences is a current problem and I'd like to see more researchers attempt to be more open about sharing not only their code but also their setup. i.e.

http://www.reproducibleresearch.org/

"An article about computational science in a scientific publication is not the scholarship itself, it is merely advertising of the scholarship. The actual scholarship is the complete software development environment and the complete set of instructions which generated the figures." --D. Donoho

Although I agree that a research paper, if it included all the minutae required to reproduce the results on a new system, would be far to verbose, it's time researcers woke up and realised what the "scientific" part of "scientific research" means. In my mind, the bare minimum of detail would be:

- all the source code and build environment tools on a easy-to-access repository, e.g. GitHub.
- all raw data numbers available in CSV files.
- all source code used to generate pictorial graphs as the source code to R scripts, or your favourite stats package.

This isn't rocket science. If you need more help figuring this out consider reading:

Icannn is a corrupt organization as anyone inside knows.
I believe the answer is yes. I'm thinking about the Homebrew Computer Club, the framers of the Constitution, and the musicians who developed modern jazz. It sounds odd, but the Constitution was written by a bunch of rich guys who happened to share a passion for learning about history and politics. When one of their kids got in trouble, the only advice they could come up with was to read yet another old book in Latin.

Jazz was commercially viable for a time, maybe into the 1950s, but then the musicians had to adopt a model of playing boring commercial music, and teaching music to kids for a living, while pushing the boundaries of jazz in living rooms and academic music departments.
If you’re working with a lot of data you probably want to pipe it into head anyway, initially, so

<file head -n50 | whatever

Can be the starting command. When you no longer need the head there, just get rid of “head |”.

Although I agree that the pointing out of “useless cat” is usually not particularly useful or constructive.
Have to wonder if this campaign is just going to increase its value further.

Is .org really a valid way to verify legitimacy of a non-governmental organization? Should we be looking for another solution here or is this the right hill to die on?
No it is not. If someone is playing 14 hours of a game that is not even giving a lot of money (not even to any 1%, which is the initial situation mentioned before DOTA was big), then obviously they are not doing that for the money.
While it doesn't make things predictable unless you can predict central banker's whims, this is no conspiracy theory. It's a fairly accurate description of mainstream Keynesian macroeconomics. I might tone it down by saying bad recession happens when central banks accidentally overdo their inflation control but sometimes it doesn't seem so accidental, and more a question of incompetence.

Like when central bankers refused to use negative interest rates even though the natural rate was clearly plunging into the negative. In 2009 their own Taylor rule models put the correct rate at negative 4% (https://www.brookings.edu/blog/ben-bernanke/2015/04/28/the-t...). Central banks kept interest rates very high at zero.
So take a standard car which is $40.000 without taxes.

Not in Denmark because of the tax

You seem to be contradicting yourself :)

Actually I did have a dig around after my comment and I'm surprised just how much people are spending on their cars. The median wage in the UK isn't much higher than the median new car price.
> there are some heuristics you can use to guess whether an obsession might be one that matters. For example, it's more promising if you're creating something, rather than just consuming something someone else creates. It's more promising if something you're interested in is difficult, especially if it's more difficult for other people than it is for you. And the obsessions of talented people are more likely to be promising. When talented people become interested in random things, they're not truly random.

You can be very rigorous in trying to understand some topic, such that you won’t be satisfied until you understand it from first principles. Since so few people do this, it can lead to new discoveries.

Probably smart enough to have gotten his bitcoin out of Mt. Gox ages ago.
I would agree - but does that mean I need to buy a NetFlix box, a cable TV box, an Amazon box, a YouTube box, a Vimeo box etc.?

Or, do I run one box that magically supports them all? Apart from DailyMotion who've decided they want me to buy their special adapter....
Oops: http://d.pr/Chjg (I'm working with EnvyLabs right now to fix the hole).
I find audiobooks okay only for nonfiction. Having to follow the plot and imagery of fiction while I'm doing something else is a bit too much for me and I frequently lose focus and have to rewind.
Yeah, this sounds like a bug; I'm pretty sure that should be GPU accelerated.
Yep. I prefer the driving rule, "Don't be nice, be predictable."

That is, don't deliberately be mean, but don't extend any courtesy where doing so would come at the cost of being predictable.
No. In my country (Mexico) that's not practical.
GOOD.

More concerts is a good thing, direct sales to the customer, direct profit for the venue and artist, more exposure.

Relying on one channel for revenue is a disastrous rolling of the dice. I'm not here to apologize for people who willfully engage in subverting the purchasing process to get music they want, but I'm also not going to show sympathy for an industry that wants to remain rigid and inflexible with a changing marketplace either.
