I didn't stop reading. What does "win a war" mean if you only consider initial combat? To that end, let's ignore the last 14 years and declare that the US won the "War on Terror" during the first 6 days carpet bombing of Tora Bora.
Hmm I didn't know that Joyent maintained their own packages for non-SmartOS platforms. The OS X packages seem to be limited to 32-bit versions and even though you didn't mention this I noticed their Linux packages seem to lag behind pkgsrc upstream. What is the advantage of using their packages over the OS X and Linux ones offered by NetBSD? https://www.pkgsrc.org/#platforms
I think he's referring to this:

I don't think this works. You don't have to encompass everything about the universe in your mind. You can just comprehend a formula that allows you in principle to calculate any part of it that you need.

Think of a fractal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set
All of those are illegal in the US. And living there, you really, really, REALLY want to avoid the criminal justice system. Especially if you have anxiety/depression, which will trigger that system's "abnormal" profiling.
good point. Oh wait, no, that's total bullshit.

So, firstly, Postgres takes responsibility for contributions. The fact that someone has submitted a patch or PR is no guarantee that it has been accepted.

Secondly, they combine all those contributors to release specific versions with specific features. I can trust that someone at postgres has reviewed all those contributions to ensure they make the grade and included them in the release for a reason.

Thirdly, Postgres as an institution takes responsibility for the code it releases. If I find something messed up in a postgres release, and report it to postgres, they will take responsibility for that and manage the rest of it.

None of this is true for NPM.
>”Would you like to check for updates?”
> The obvious similarities are that, now as then, a U.S. president faces the threat of impeachment against the backdrop of a strong economy and surging stock market. Even “Friends” is still popular today, just as it was then.

What? I guess "Friends" mention was intended as a joke here, but it surely does not look funny considering previous sentence.

They can write such articles every year:

- stocks are surging and there are wildfires in California, just like 20 years ago

- market is down today and Schwarzenegger is making new Terminator, just like 30 years ago
Great question! While empiric treatment for most patients presenting with acute uncomplicated UTIs is appropriate, recent studies (happy to share these) have shown that 30-50% of the time these patients are being overtreated. Our test result + patient’s symptoms increases the diagnostic accuracy significantly and can help reduce the misuse of antibiotics. With the growing threat of antibiotic resistance, we believe having a cheap and accessible screening test like ours can make a big difference in the care of this common problem.
Something I wrote previously:

I worked for a company who had "Mobile First!" in their top 4 or 5 "product statements". We had two mobile devs. Both employed for < 6 months, one of which was basically fresh out of university.
How cheap can it be made locally? When you consider that try and take in mind comparative advantage.

I understand that price doesn't take externalities into effect. That said price is the best way we have to allocate resources - it conveys that information better then any other tool we have. If price indicates to people that toothbrushes should be made in China and shipped to the U.S. then I tend to think that's probably the most efficient way to do it.
I have a friend who most certainly is not but thinks he is going to be. Every market lives and dies on the bigger sucker existing.
Having worked at Facebook before, it's definitely the first.

People and especially execs at Facebook are incredibly out of touch with how their product is perceived.

I also know that the actual perception of Facebook in Europe is even worse than in the US, due to higher importance of privacy.

They think everyone loves them and would hate to see them go, to the point where they might pressure their governments, when in reality most Europeans hate Facebook and would love to see them gone. The amount of hubris and ego-driven miscalculation is insane.
America is all clowns now.
>Assuming a 15% net margin for Tesla

Your model assumes a profit margin 3-4x the most profitable auto companies in the world? You do realize Tesla's best ever profit margin was less than 2%, and that didn't come from selling cars, right?

>Essentially, the back of my envelope says long buyers today will need to hold for 4 years to see a profit based on some semblance of fundamentals.

A profit how, by selling their shares to other people? Why would those people buy at that valuation?
I loved Simple for a long time -- I was one of the "beta" customers -- but I switched away from them over a year ago. I'd already been annoyed with them over something seemingly trivial; I go by my middle name and last name, not first and last, and want my credit/debit card to match that, reading "Middle Last". Everyone else allows me to do this and Simple did allow that... until we all had to migrate our accounts from Simple's original "banking partner" to BBVA. At that point they changed my name and refused to change it back after multiple go-rounds (which ended with a rep telling me "sure, we can do this, just fill this out," filling said thing out, and being told "we can't do that").

As with some other mentions here, though, it was killing the ability to have Simple send checks to payees that did it for me. I'd been waiting for years to have Simple be able to accept ebills (e.g., receive a bill from a creditor that specifies an amount to pay and paying that, rather than just paying a fixed amount every period), and they never did; instead they regressed.

But here's the thing: while I'd left Bank of America because Simple's app and design was so much better, I'd never closed my BoA account for the simple (ha!) reason that they could accept ebills and pay them out of my Simple account. This always left me with the niggling feeling that while Simple was better at technology and customer service, BoA was better at... well... banking. And when I checked out BoA after getting fed up with Simple, well, their app was still ugly and had bad UX design, but the functionality had mostly caught up with Simple. It even has goals built into it, if I want them. (I don't, and never cared about Simple's equivalent, so I can't compare the functionality.)

And while there are "bank things" I only do once in a blue moon -- deposit at an ATM, get a cashier's check -- it turns out it's nice to have a bank that, well, does those things. I know there are other banks (and credit unions) that do them, too, and I'm not suggesting BoA is particularly good (or bad) in this regard.

Simple was a promising idea, but I think they made a serious mistake by letting themselves be bought out by BBVA. And while I'd love to see someone else try again, I'm going to be a lot more reticent to move to a new bank just because it gives me a terrific mobile app experience next time around. Simple was a great technology company, but at the end of the day, I just don't think they were that great a bank.
"And if meat was a significant part of our diets, cholesterol and atherosclerosis wouldn't be problems like they are now."

You're basing your argument on the assumption that cholesterol problems are caused by intake ofsaturated fat and jumping to a conclusion based on that assumption.

The assumption you're making is being pitted against a growing amount of evidence that cholesterol problems are caused by modern over-consumption of carbohydrates. The most basic form of evidence for this argument is that 75% of our cholesterol is manufactured by our own body as opposed to being caused by dietary intake.
Just what we need, Apple making the term "cloud" mainstream as if it wasn't already overused.
Obviously a joke, but awesome.

"The programmer has a huge advantage now because he has delayed his competition by convincing them to learn an unfamiliar skill before breaking ground."

Love it.
This is an excellent suggestion. It's good enough that I used the company time machine to port it back to our iteration planning two weeks ago. Sadly our UI engineer is picky and he hasn't been satisfied with any of the five prototypes he wrote during last week.

So, that makes it two of us who are eagerly waiting for the ability to rotate work planes.. :-)
I've mentioned it before, but anyone serious about this type of thing should get familiar with quinoa. It might be more expensive than rice, but it also contains a balanced set of essential amino acids - which is pretty rare for a plant. Most meals that call for rice can generally use quinoa instead, and you'll be much better off.
No, reducing piracy actually means nothing to studios. What they care about is making money. If piracy disappeared tomorrow but revenues did not go up, that is a worst-case scenario for the studios. They actually like having an scapegoat for their flagging sales, especially when it's illegal and opens up the opportunity for legal recompense.

The truth is that the content companies are willing to play ball with Netflix because they make money, but they are also scared of Netflix's market power and the fact that they make much less per unit than they do from cable or DVD sales. The fact is Netflix is already capable of slashing someone's cable bill by 90%, and the effect on DVD/Bluray sales is potentially even more dramatic for certain consumers.
I thought it was pretty obvious - the financial structure of the recording industry is such that the recording industry is allowed to (legally!) rip off artists that make less than a certain amount of money. So the recording industry ensures that virtually all artists make less than that amount of money.
I see no examples in that article of laws restricting nonbinary people from participating in public life, and somewhat the opposite (recognition of nonbinary as a protected characteristic under anti-discrimination laws).
Reminds me of this video: https://youtu.be/1jSTMkXqz8o

All I'll say is that I'm glad he didn't drag Picard into this, or else it would have gotten ugly.
>Known to cause eye diseases in humans

... when taken in massive doses as a skin-tanning supplement. As far as I know, there's no evidence whatsoever of side-effects in humans when eaten in the quantities typical to those involved in produce like salmon/eggs.
Public education is a baseline. Literacy, civics, a bit of math and biology are things that can help no matter what vocation people end up with.

Without it folks might end up pigeonholed into whatever their family does or a narrow selection of trades within the local community.
Rule 34 likely applies. I'm not going to google it to confirm though.
> I find it a bit odd that Doctorow talks about the technology of oppression yet lately he's been using his own substantial voice to claim people who don't think Epstein killed himself are "conspiracy theorists"

He is completely correct here. I mean, just look up the definition of "conspiracy theory"[1] - It is literally what people claim (Epstein didn't kill himself, i.e. he was killed as a result of some secret or covered up plot).

You may be taking offence because "conspiracy theorist" has negative connotations (eg black helicopters, chemtrails, 9/11 inside job, jfk shooter, deep state, illuminati...). But there are conspiracy theories that pen out to be true in the long run - NSA surveillance revelations post-Snowden certainly fulfill many conspiracy theories of a decade ago.

All that said, I don't particularly care about Epstein. Your entire post just attacks the messenger for a single view you disagree with, rather than the content at hand. You don't have to agree with a person all the time or none of the time, there are options in between.

I posted my link in a comment below and people seem to be taking advantage of it, though nobody has replied with their own as I was expecting others to. The upside to the bonus is that it makes the game a little more interesting and realistic; some investors simply have more than others and they will affect how the game is played by others (hopefully bringing in more players than making people think that unfair means not fun).
But really, how could Amazon enforce it? Do warehouse laborers update Linkedin with their temp jobs? Does somebody besides the IRS maintain a database of current jobs?
Is it possible we could use enough sand collected from the seabed to offset this sea rise?

Even current levels of seabed mining are considered deeply problematic for the oceans' ecosystems (already under heavy attack from overfishing, ship traffic, waste dispersal, and species transportation). And any effort that would make a dent in rising sea levels would be orders of magnitude greater.

My honest belief is that learning is always worth the cost. If you're only going for a certificate/degree then it may bring little value. Being able to learn and fully grasp the subject matter and socializing with like-minded folks will always be worth the cost. How much a person is willing to spend greatly depends on the person's financial situation. Going into $200k+ debt may or may not be worth it for everyone.

I've spent hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars for a course that I thought was very beneficial to me, and I'll gladly do it again as I find useful things to learn.
I suspect it's one factor--in addition to the fact that unlimited, like free, sounds really good in marketing copy to most people. As a data point, I think it took me something like 3 months to do my initial 1.3TB or so backup to Backblaze. So somewhere in the few TB range is probably going to be the practical maximum for most consumers.
Yeah, I only snipped the head because it's boring.
Seconded. I tried to dig up info on this a few times but found zilch.
I never heard of this company. How did they get that data?
I have fond memories of using Turtle in primary school. It had much more of a positive impact on me than re-typing code from a book into my Amstrad CPC-6128!
The Dogs of War by Frederick Forsyth I assume...I've got and read the book, but not seen the film.
I know of a small business in upstate NY that gets 80% of their sales from FB ads. Without FB, this business which also has a retail store, would certainly be having a lot more of a rough time. And they are not an isolated story. I know of at least 5 other small businesses that similarly generate from 25% to 70% of sales via FB. It's given these small businesses a way to compete against bigger competitors.
I wonder if Apple is weary of what is about to happen:

1) Try to destroy all ad platforms
2) Build their own ad platform

Big company behavior is so predictable... oh humans
> APIs are great.. i want an app to be able to list all the apps installed.

That a big No. List of apps uniquely identifies the device and the user. Is this api available??
Sure, but until apple makes an official way to provide binary dynamic libraries on demand without breaking the app store rules, which would probably be delivered through something like binary on demand resources, the big game players cant do it either. Whatever official version apple makes will probably update in the background better too, since they have full OS control, unlike ad hoc apps.
That part sounds similar to a microphone echo, wonder if it is because the training data was contaminated with echoing samples.
Ha! No doubt. Seems I'm violating several of their rules.
Obviously your life is more interesting than you think given that so many people eagerly want to track it.
Because isolated anecdotes aren't necessarily the same thing as "medicine".
> Tesla has a ~30% short interest, which contributes to the ridiculous volatility of the stock.

Are you sure that this is the direction of cause and effect?
Personally I think this would have worked better for me if it were a 'Show HN:' type post rather than a blogvertisement.

That said, look at www.42Floors.com, clean, crisp, right to the point. Better yet hope they don't open a London branch :-). As an exemplar for an online experience tailored to a particular demographic (small space seekers, ie startups) they hit a lot of the right pain points. Sort by neighborhood? check, space constraints? Check, it goes on but I'm not here to advertise them, I'm just comparing notes.

If you're catering to startups, and it looks like you are, then the 'office space' problem is probably the CEO or VP Ops' "other" job. Their needs change from seed, to series A, to series B+. How do you transition them into 'bigger' space and hand over the reigns to dedicated facilities person in the company? Do you co-ordinate other services? Janitorial, snacks services, 'fix it' type services? How about vetting/rating landlords, another useful service for the startup founder. If you want to be the "AppStore of Space" you need to consider that the person using your service really doesn't want to make it their life's work, and at the same time doesn't want to look stupid for picking "this space."
Not yet, but eventually it will be. The battery pack cases could be SLS assembled (laser sintered) to exacting specifications. Pack disassembly could be automated. Not quite sure on raw material->cell construction though. I'll have to research that process and see if FANUC robotics has anything that would fit the bill for that sort of work
Ahhh, man, awesome stuff. I totally relate to what you said about not learning from books, but learning from when you actually experienced some of the problems that were outlined in the books.

I went through similar learnings with running my own business. I had read a bunch of stuff about entrepreneurship, etc., but it wasn't until I screwed up for myself that the lessons really crystallized (and really internalized for me).

Web programmer or not, your advice was very helpful, so thanks again :)
Sorry, I should have been more specific; but I was referring to the libraries available on Planet.

It looks like the new Planet that you guys just shipped doesn't have all the legacy mzscheme packages that used to seem to be the majority of packages. I don't know if that was intentional, but if not, I think that it's a nice tangential benefit.

I just remember every time I'd search for something on Planet, most of the results I'd get back were for old scheme libraries.

I know it's annoying as a developer to hear a vague criticism like "there's less useful libraries" without being able to provide a list of concrete items; but I'm going to annoy you by not being able to come up with anything specific right now. Sorry ;)

I will say though, I think Marketplace looks really neat, and I'm looking forward to testing it out for some things internally.
To be pedantic - you might be looking for "price discrimination" instead of perfectly elastic.

I used to believe that when I was younger.

Now that I'm older, I'm understanding of people optimizing pay and intellectual challenges. At the end of the day, people have to optimize for their own interests because the world sure as hell doesn't care about your or my sacrifice. Even my best friend who took a job at a non-for-profit for many years helping those in need eventually joined BigCo to be able to afford things in life.
Seconding NextDNS, it’s well worth the price for the features and privacy. And not having to administer a piHole, which was always slightly unstable for me.
For better or worse, when you get to a certain size you absolutely NEED that level of bureaucracy. You can't get 120,000 full time employees plus probably another 100,000 contractors to work together without establishing a clear hierarchy that everyone inside it understands. A smaller company can have different approaches because they will have a dense network of employee relationships, and can work together off of those relationships. However, at six figure employee scale by necessity you will end up with a very very sparse matrix of employee relationships, so you have to have something else to get results.
Fun fact about PeerJS, you'll need a server in order to use it (look into STUN/TURN/ICE for more info). The maintainer seems to be hosting one default instance that goes down from time to time. https://github.com/peers/peerjs/issues/671 https://github.com/peers/peerjs/issues/693

If you're looking to do "pure" P2P in the browser, we're not there yet as we cannot accept incoming connections without something in between right now.
This sounds right. WhatsApp and Facebook both have access to contacts so information flows between them through this channel

And the reason is that you have to stand out from other candidates. If enough candidates do know algorithms on the whiteboard, then they can set the bar that high.

Although it's unlikely any end users will install Chrome Frame that are unable to just install Chrome, I think intranet developers could drive its adoption.

Here's the pitch: "We could build this new intranet app for $100,000 if we roll out Chrome Frame to the users, or for $200,000 if we need to support vanilla IE6."
To me, the refresh rate makes a much bigger difference than the resolution. Most people I know look at me like I'm crazy when I say "I don't really care for HD"
Yeah, I know what sarcasm is. Famously known as being difficult to communicate on the Internet. You might want to read up on that.

It's only obvious this is sarcasm after reading the last line of the OP. Without that context, it's indistinguishable from the petty complaints around here. Therefore, misdirected anger remains. Rargh.

I also don't think the OP is making a petty complaint (even if it probably got upvoted for petty reasons), as the representation IS potentially misleading, despite there being good reasons for it.
