Yeah, but the rest of us don't have to put up with legions of people excitedly explaining about how idle devices are great and everyone else should idle more devices.

Bitcoin consuming massive amounts of electricity is bad. Idle devices consuming massive amounts of electricity is also bad.
I thought the same until I tried a good L2 system. ACC and LKA are pure value adds. Lower the number of moments where your focus snaps back in as you are meandering out of the lane or creeping up on the person in front of you.
Can you point me to the part that is closed? Last time I looked, there were just a bunch of weights.
In those examples it's the statement that's offensive, not the individual words used to express it. If I'm having an argument with someone and they imply I'm mentally deficient, it doesn't matter what words they use to say that; the statement itself is inherently offensive.

Here however it's not the statement people are objecting to (most even seem to agree with that part), but one particular word that was used in expressing that statement. That's a different thing entirely, and it's what I mean here when I talk about a _word_ being offensive.
Having people drive til they qualify is a sign you have a housing crisis. Give me the name of some cities where home prices have tracked inflation in the last decade. Even better, tell me how Cleveland's suburbs have a land use regime that's any better than California?

It’s almost universally a very bad sign if managers are significantly contributing code. I agree with you that occasional bug fixes or small tweaks would be fine, but anything beyond that and it means the manager is taking time away from support and setting others up for success, which is way harder and requires much more vigilance.

A manager should not be making tactical implementation decisions - they should trust their team to make those decisions, and offer higher level architecture & product guidance about the problems worth solving, the context and the constraints. Managers should be somewhat like 1/3 principle engineer, 1/3 product manager and 1/3 personnel / recruitment / rewards manager.

The absolute worst is when a company very openly embraces “team lead” or “player coach” roles, which are essentially an unspecified dumping ground of any arbitrary, flailing responsibility from any domain, with no clarity and with unrealistic expectations of “wearing many hats” and getting no staffing or team growth yet still being expected to deliver high project throughput and still somehow manage personnel issues, compensation, team building and so on.

“Team lead” is a bad cop out by senior leaders who are too weak to defend org structures they designed. They want to have their cake (take credit for constant reorgs) and eat it too (drop in to any part of a reorg that’s not succeeding and arbitrarily redefine a team lead role to mean whatever they want it to mean at that moment, for political convenience).

Even though it might be fun to still do coding, your life as a manager is so much better if you refuse anything like “team lead.” Don’t do it. Only accept roles with super explicit clarity that your job is to be a manager, not an implementer, and require a company culture that really backs this up and affirms it.
That the founders were flawed as human beings, is not an argument against limited government or more broadly the ideals that comprise the US Constitution.
You absolutely can apply that kind of logic to everyday decisions. It's called risk-benefit analysis.
i'm in Dallas, power has been stable so far but i made sure i got ye'olde generator out, checked the oil, and got plenty of gas. My house is really old and the cold just slowly creeps in. By Tuesday i bet i can't get it over 60 inside.

All of my furnaces run on gas at least but if the power goes they'll probably turn off. I have a little bit of firewood for the fireplace but not enough to heat the whole house that's for sure.

i was contemplating just basically evacuating wife and kids to San Antonio or something but the whole state is under a winter storm warning.
> As journalists, we all view this as a horrifying assault on the public’s right to know, and on our own status as brave defenders of the public good. And that is all true, for what it’s worth. But this is about power. We need to take some back, lest the rich and powerful run away from one of the last forces restraining them.

I don't want the same arrogant, self-unaware journalist that pushes pernicious narratives to the public and doxxes people for blogging to come and tell me how rich people are evil and their newspaper is a defender of the public good.

Just look in the mirror for a moment and realize that you are the problem.

Yes, you are right. These tips are mainly for short-term productivity.

I've also summarized "The Now Habit", which is probably the best book on procrastination that I'm aware of:

Note that in most of those cases, the side that you attribute the most lobbying to is the side that is trying to reverse current law. The pro lifers are trying to reverse the current pro choice laws. The oil industry is trying to get rid of environmental regulation.

Under the article's thesis, we'd expect most of the lobbying to be from the supporters of the current laws, trying to strengthen them.
> These studies do not seem to be able to explain why the console DRM is not reducing sales.

How do you know it doesn't? I don't think you have any easy way to measure that. As I said before, console sales numbers relate to the way the market shifted. They can as well be even higher if not for DRM.

> Which is something I expected because the whole premise seems very unnatural to me.

The premise is very natural. Reduced usability means crippled product (in some way). Crippled product means some users will more likely to avoid it. Pretty straightforward and iron logic no DRM proponent can deny. But they don't function according to common sense, or as I already said they use DRM not for anything related to sales, but for completely different reasons.

> while there are some people who infringe just because it's free, there are also people who infringe just because it's somewhat cheaper.

And of course there are those who break DRM for sport just because they like breaking it. I.e. if not for DRM they wouldn't even have paid attention. A clear example when DRM boosts piracy directly.

> The later category is converted to paying customers with the DRM.

Not at all. The later category stays a non paying customer, since why should they buy the same thing with DRM when pirates offer them it without it? I.e. without crippled usability? The only thing that can convince them to become paying customers is the same product offered without DRM by legitimate source. That's because that DRM is always broken.
That's an absolutely excellent story. I can recommend it to anyone on this site.
> If this article is correct, Apple didn't include JSON functionality in Cocoa until 2011, that's 9 years after the public website and 5 years after inclusion in major web services.

JSON was added to Ruby stdlib in 1.9.2, released in August 2010. Available as a gem for years prior. Ruby was probably slow because YAML was the anointed format, and JSON isn't distinctly better than YAML.

JSON was added to Python modules in 2.6, which was released in October 2008. Likely available as an egg prior, but I don't remember.

There were Objective-C libraries for JSON well before 2011 too. The first one I remember using was in June or so of 2009.

So, I half agree with you. It might be hard to remember nowadays, but JSON wasn't universally seen as a Good Thing initially. It came with a lot of JavaScript baggage, which in some circles hung around for a loong time.

But Apple was definitely late to the JSON party, and it was disappointing at the time.

Again, you did no such thing:

An investigation can be initiated, and can proceed, without any testimony whatsoever from the accused.

Which coerced testimony are you attempting to refer to? The cops show up and ask you about your tax return, and you say "". Either they continue to investigate you or they don't, but you have not been coerced into saying anything at all.

If you're in the US, Home Depot sells 1" wide VHB in small rolls for about $20. It's branded as Scotch Mount Extreme (or similar).

The tape industry has an interesting structure. Companies like Bron and 3M create giant webs of tape and put them on very wide rolls. These rolls are sold wholesale to "converters" which are companies that slice up the rolls into smaller rolls and different shapes for different applications. Most converters will work with you to make a custom roll of tape - some will even package it for retail - but a company like 3M has no interest in selling you 20 feet of VHB when they can sell 20,000sf to a company that will package and distribute.

I love tape and I'm glad to see this post here.
>He says he is using mostly power supply modules which will have some thought already put into EMI suppression.

He is not. MAX776 are controllers, and older ones at that. These require some skill to apply effectively. I wouldn't do it this way, I'd look at the LMR36xxx series (and friends, you'd want the 60V switches here) sync bucks for this. Hot loop on die = goodbye EMI!

There you go, someone did the analysis. For top 1%, salary makes up the same fraction of income as capital gains.

” This fraction declines and for the top 1 percent (those making $783,000 or more), their income is about equally split between capital and labor income.”

I’d bet if you looked at those in the top 1% but under $1M range the vast majority of income is salary.

And yet no serious research is being put into hard AI. Just like five years ago. Or ten. Or twenty.

My childhood passed in reading circa-computer books of 60s, 70s, 80s, where full, general AI seemed to be just around the corner. Obviously this problem is far harder than it seemed to be.

But the (almost universal) lack of trying is extremely disheartening.
So we develop iOS Applications (objective-c) with a supporting backend web architecture (Node.js/PHP + MongoDB/MySQL or Parse) if necessary. We can indeed deal with web-service integration given the service has an existing API.
Alpari offered leverage up to 500x. Craziness.

I mostly agree with your skepticism on USDT driving BTC price, but I disagree with this:

> There is, however, a good proof that they do: Tether has held the 1:1 beg pretty well recently.

All this proves is that they have something in reserve, not that it is 1:1 backed. Most modern banking operates on a fractional reserve system, but when I take cash out of my bank account I get a cash dollar 1:1 with what they debit my account; they don’t prorate it for the amount of reserve they have.
> This can all be used from their web-app

Video chat and screen sharing is not supported on their web app, and they push you to download their (electron) app for those features.
The UN doesn't recognize the annexation of Crimea, so that's probably why.
> It is important to mention that USDT is still liquid despite the lack of USD on/off-ramps.

USDT is only liquid BECAUSE there is no redemption mechanism (or at least not one that has ever been demonstrated). If Tether came and said "sure we'll redeem these fully backed Tethers for USD 24/7/365" you would quickly find yourself with a liquidity crisis.
I'm so happy for you!

There's a company that is not public but working in this space, I cannot recall it's name. They use NLP to diagnose patient condition by ingesting raw information/text from medical books/papers. You describe how you feel and any other information that you have in an article, and it gives out possible conditions and prescription.

AFAIK, they still recommended that you go to the doctor, but you could use it as an extra to check the diagnosis yourself.

But their point was they have all the data coming out in new papers, and the system studies it constantly and is always kept up.
Over a million scientists and doctors decline to make that call.
> How did you build push notifications (especially on mobile) with a single codebase? Do you use something like OneSignal?

The single codebase for the client. We do have a server/API, which manages push notifications.
You will be shocked how many paraphrasing enthusiasts will not finish their implementations, if the first steps require additional expertise / investment.

Google should definitely resolve this problem on their side, but language models got huge and complex. It's hard to tell (especially with their scale) if a website if composed from paraphrased content of 20 other websites.

I'm kinda shocked how successful those "doorway pages" are at reaching the top and how long they live there.

ARM also addressed code density with Thumb, which required licensing Super-H IP.

>>> For... hmm... backdoors to data?

Backdoors has a lovely side effect, in that they are backdoors. They can be used to take control over devices, as in. That they can also be used for data transfer is a side effect of the active attack called "implanting an backdoor".

But okey, if all those are just snooping and not active attacks, let just assume that PRC gained the information to attack github by snooping. DONE. It is now just snooping as per your definition.

> A DDOS attack on github.

>> except, the PRC just used information, information which was indeed gained from--wait for it--snooping!

In computer security, we have terms to distinguish this. Its called passive and active attacks. PRC and NSA both perform active attacks on other nations infrastructure, businesses, governments and military. The purpose: To gain political, economic and military benefits.
Did they? It's in their 'opinions' section; it's an op-ed. The headline is "Tim Cook: Pro-discrimination ‘religious freedom’ laws are dangerous".

I honestly don't know how a newspaper can make it more clear that something is the opinion of an individual person.

If this is an appeal from authority, then so is every op-ed written by every powerful or popular person ever.
This. And well, usually you work with other people. I've been in a few projects, also "enterprise"-level ones and I'm really amazed how fucked up the way people treat source code management can be.

IBM needs an up-to-date web-scale ontology (Blekko has it) for Watson, it used Freebase (et al) which is closing down on March 31, 2015 (largest open collaborative knowledge base): http://www.freebase.com , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebase

Freebase was acquired by Google in 2010 and powers their internal Google Knowledge Graph. Microsoft bought Powerset (company) in 2008.

Freebase has 2,751,614,700 facts, Wikidata has 13,788,746 facts. Wikidata may import some data of Freebase, but due its stricter guidelines (notability guideline...) many facts of minor will be lost/never migrated. A Freebase dump won't age well, in a lot of cases up-to-date facts from the real world are required.

Maybe some community project can rescue the Freebase community project before it is too late?

@downvotes: ?
Thanks for the detailed reply!

I have to say I'm wary of big frameworks like this that insert themselves as a kind of monolithic control structure for everything.

My ideal setup is always one where I pick and mix the best modules for the job, and where I can write some interface glue to let my apps slot into the system, as opposed to writing my apps for a specific API (as tends to be the case with, say, Hadoop, and which of course would tie the whole platform to that API, making it hard to migrate to something else).

Sounds like Mesos is pretty modular and open in that respect?
Ok the search should be better now!
Ah, that makes things clearer - thanks.

> What I'd like to know is how you can guarantee that all garbage is eventually collected in a system like this.

Me too. If you can't guarantee that, it seems that when you unmap a page of virtual memory, you'd have to make sure never to use that page again. You'd also have to keep around your table of "mappings from old pointers to new pointers" forever, just in case you encounter a lingering bad pointer and need to correct it.

Semi-related question: So how many submissions is HN getting each day these days?

If you can reliably determine a pirate, maybe you could add some ads to your app conditionally on that. I've heard CTRs are way better in Cydia apps when the developer asks for support (than in App Store).
The sad thing is all JavaBeans needed was named arguments to the constructor rather than relying on setter names. It's a lot more complicated for every class to let instances be created in a mostly-uninitialized state, relying on a bunch of setter calls in an unspecified order to make the instance actually usable. For one thing, there's no language-supported way to make a setter mandatory, you can't do any better than blowing up at runtime if it wasn't called.

> HN folks may not like to hear it, but in general your "average" Linux user makes the absolute worst software customer: they can get tons of stuff for free so there is a high bar when it comes to willingness to pay for non-free software, they have very high demands about how software should work, and they are most likely to run customer configurations on different combinations of hardware, making bugs more likely, and they are usually quickest to switch if something better comes along.

My charitable interpretation is that the average (voluntary) Linux user is a Pro user - but the average Mac/Windows users are consumers. What this means to the author is they probably shouldn't attempt selling consumer-type applications on Linux (which you noted have plenty of competing free apps). The additional challenge is that application distribution on Linux is seamless - your competition is one "apt get" command away, unlike Windows/Mac OS.

Author - you probably have to write specialized/pro software to get reasonable traction on Linux targeted at a specific niche. It may be difficult to achieve this as a solo developer, as it will demand a lot of your time to get the required depth; but you can always start small.
