Agreed, but this one seems to be the perfect fit with google places and checkout. It's not great to see a Goliath taking on smaller competitors, but the truth is that Groupon hasn't innovated much since it launched.

Wouldn't wearing these reduce the perceived intensity of the screen quite a bit?
Agreed, it was nice to see you speaking in terms of months, and not days-or hours.

1997 is actually later than I would've thought.
- What were your successes this year?

Left a job which was nice, but not creating something. Launched http://imeveryone.com, got a couple of hundred thousand visitors in the first month, HN, TechCrunch, TechFluff coverage and a whole bunch of help from people who liked my idea.

- What did you learn?

MongoDB, Javascript programming and lots about PR.

- What do you hope to achieve next year?

Get more PR, specifically a major women's magazine. Fix my advertising system. Become revenue positive.
I've founded my first startup (mobile+multiplayer) in Vienna, Austria, got the first iterations out of the door, it got acquired and a month ago I've moved to the US (with my dog). Best year so far :-) I learned a lot about networks, TCP, scaling, nosql, ec2.
I'm not sure I get how this can be the case. The volume that some people listen to music in ear buds is pretty shocking.

They contend that hearing loss might be cumulative and delayed, and therefore surface as the participants age.

Better turn down my headphones anyway.

I fit only about half of the things he describes, but that half is so spot-on it sounds like he's been stalking me.
Arguably compilation time of your test code is even more important! You don't want to be kept waiting for feedback in a TDD cycle. I agree that compilation time can be a limiting factor of the header-only approach (actually link time may be the killer). But it's generally easier to give a header-only library support for libs than the other way around. I plan to keep header-only as the default way of using CATCH.
I have the same feeling - it seems like such a (comparatively) low-effort way of generating income. However, I am always put off by the fact that we are probably too late to catch this boat - can you imagine how many other people listened to that interview and are now researching affiliate programs for eBooks?

It is an interesting idea though, and one that I will throw a few hours at once my startup is a little closer to complete.
A big part of me got over my past failures and just moved on. For me this is big and has allowed me to successfully take on new clients and explore the larger world of a freelance web dev. I learned that it's not about the perceived failure or success in anyone's perspective but my own. We're human beings; very flawed (at best) creatures and our communication breakdowns happen, but it's not about those breakdowns. Rather, what we do with them afterward.

Oh yeah, and I climbed a mountain this year. Next year I'm going to climb two.
It's funny you should post that link to my blog. Back when I posted that, 1 year ago, we were 1 year into the startup, that meant we were in the "Wanted. Men for hazardous journey... Honor and recognition in the event of success" phase. Since then, I'm learning about the middle "Low wages. Bitter cold. Long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful" part.

Anyways, it's my one week off, so I should get back to not reading HN.

Lawsuit is fully justified. Their reputation was (needlessly) destroyed. I don't think you could ever get a Dominion machine approved in the current political climate for the foreseeable future. They'll likely need a rebrand to survive.
Except for the ADL, essentially a pro-Israel lobbying group, marked as "reliable".
As someone who's lived in both SF and BK, I agree.

One other point I'd like to add that makes BK more 'human scale' compared to SF is the speed at which cars travel. BK traffic (for the most part) moves significantly slower than SF traffic. There aren't as many uninterrupted stretches of road in BK where motorists can speed up to 50 mph. This makes BK (and Manhattan where traffic moves significantly slower than both) a safer place to walk and bike. Furthermore, the hilly topography of SF creates unique blind spots that the flat expanse of simply NYC doesn't have.
What you're claiming just isn't true. You've been lied to. See the link below.

And don't take my word for it either. Look at the court documents yourself, then make up your own mind.

And what % of economic, scientific, and cultural output is that 10% responsible for?
I don’t ignore the “massive shift” to new tech because I know for a fact how much legacy hardware still exists.

New tech changes, ISPs and telcos aren’t actually built on new tech, they add new tech, but there is a lot of 25 year old hardware around that only gets phased out when the people that know how to run it start retiring.
So it seems like it helps measure desire too.

Is that so bad?
As I read about OP's awakening as he talked to some of the Techstars mentors, I kept thinking, "Haven't I heard this somewhere before?"

Then I realized that I got many of the same feelings from reading the book _Do More Faster_ by Techstars founders David Cohen and Brad Feld. This is a collection of essays by Techstars mentors and founders sharing their experiences. I imagine that OP could have gotten a lot of perspective if he had read this book first. Many others would, too. The book is excellent.

I already shared some of my favorite quotes from that book here:

I'd love to see a similar book by YCombinator mentors and founders. What a treat that would be.
Hey, we have cool things in the Midwest, too!
If "iOS" is at the start of a title, HN will autocap the first letter to I, thus IOS, which probably accounts for the confusion.
On the subject of try() chaining, there's always Ick, which implements (among other things) a kind of Maybe monad for Ruby. This acts as a self-propagating nil guard, so you're able to write things like:

maybe(Person.find("geoff")) { |person| person.manager.authority_level.permissions }

without worrying about chaining things yourself. I've not used it in production code yet, as I haven't really had a chance to do due diligence on it - be interested to hear if anyone else has used it in anger...

I probably should have prefaced my post stating that any post that talks about diet and/or nutrition on Hacker News ends up turning into geeks arguing about proper diet and nutrition and telling others what is and is not healthy.

Which by reading this submission seems to stay true to past submissions.

Wow thick-headed much? Thanks for sharing, made me laugh.

Kotlin never appealed to backend developers (based on job ads, new open-source projects in the domain). Data pipelines, concurrency and streaming are becoming more and more part of what a backend dev should know. Instead, I've noticed that Scala is used in many systems where Java historically was less ergonomic for the task. Spark, Delta, Deequ, Scio, Finagle, Flink, Kafka, the Typelevel & ZIO ecosystems, Akka are some of the examples. Using Kotlin as a sugary interface to Spring Boot? Maybe for some that would be an incentive.
The LRU cache is flawed as it never discards items and will eventually overflow.
Given that Apple's changes have riled up Facebook like nothing else (not even regulations such as the GDPR), it's not that far-fetched to believe that Apple has more leverage here and Google may choose to tread very carefully.
Agreed and I think what consumers should do is vote with their wallets and attention:

- Cancel NYT subscriptions

- Subscribe to independent journalists and writers on Substack or via other means

- Flag NYT articles
Alternatively you can study physics and then you don't need to worry about these tiny details.

I took a course on "mathematical methods in physics" which covered some complex analysis, and my math friends where shocked at how non-rigorous we were going through the theorems. Luckily for physicists these techniques tends to be valid because functions from the real world are well-behaved. For me personally it was so fun with a course where we did advanced mathematics for "practical" problems.
I don't think any of these language efforts went anywhere near the support Kotlin now has in Spring. Doesn't mean it will not fail, but it is already further than any other..
Sure. And you don't have to be a Trumpist to want to make America great.

But both those phrases are strong tribal markers.
>As a person you are judged constantly by others, as a public figure this increases exponentially. You are judged on everything: the clothing you wear, the way you speak, and yes, the company you keep.

Not everyone is a rich socialite looking to be viewed well at the finest private dinner parties. In fact, I dare say that anonymous and pseudonymous bloggers are the opposite of that.

Maybe you should go try judging someone with actual responsibility and a real role in public life. You know the Senate will vote to acquit Trump today, right?
It'd have a beautiful flat-design iOS app, delighting users.

"He writes a lot about behavioral economics and is a proponent of government mechanics to get people to do the right thing..."

As we see from recent events, the government's idea of "the right thing to do" is questioned by many intelligent people on HN and elsewhere. I'd prefer that our government stay out of the propaganda business.
And Surface tablets are also a clear response to the iPad

Their marketing may have sucked, but they were well ahead of the rest of the industry (and apparently the world).
What resources can you recommend for learning AngularJS and CoffeeScript at the same time? I had the same inkling, and I'm intrigued that you found it foolish. Why is that?
It makes me wonder at which point JavaScript will become more or equally unwieldy that using such a system will be a competitive trade-off. Of course, this is in detriment to the actual security and extensibility of so-called web apps. It's a great opportunity to coopt developers onto a platform with only industry-accepted functionality.
Not just for police... I'd imagine event organizers would like to have just such a technology at their venues to prevent "unauthorized recording." Seems pretty useless in practice though. Couldn't you just put your phone into airplane mode?
Agreed, 100%. I see it as kind of an inevitability.
Interesting choice of photograph to represent the police, for a military veterans and foreign affairs journal.
NeighBorrow was trying to do this, but it looks like they've gone from "share the things you don't need with your neighbors" to "pay us a montly price and when you need something you'll get it."

Disclosure: I used to be contracted as a developer by the guy running it. I wasn't the best developer then, but I was a lot younger too.
Note that you lose some of the parallelism you get effortlessly from the Unix pipeline if you do it as a single (simple) Python script.
Have you seen any figures on what percentage of rural households have access to fiber? I haven't, bu I would rather wager that the majority of rural America is on AOL than wager that even any significant number of rural Americans use fiber of any sort. Rural fiber is important, but my parents switched from dial-up to HughesNet, not ResTel.
And if you're making noise for noise sake, MP3 compression would make it less 'noisier'.
And how could he have done it, being in Argentina in 1976? Not even asking about Vanguard. Just accessing s&p500 or NASDAQ is not easy even today, don't think it was much easier then.
For a junior-ish software engineer level (say, 1-3 years out of college) who claims to have experience in C, this seems like a fine question, but for a senior software engineer (which I think is what he was interviewing for) it doesn't seem all that great, except maybe as a first-round filter [1]? Not that it's terrible, and I guess if the candidate fails it then it certainly tells you a lot—but if they complete it successfully then it doesn't really seem to tell you much about their software engineering skills or depth of understanding. It's better than some silly challenges companies give, but there's so much room to ask more probing questions or provide more challenging tasks to help you gauge where the upper limits of a candidate's abilities are, instead of just the lower limits.

[1] Edit: Looks like it indeed was a filter question, as I suspected: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31065819
After 6 years as a java dev Tapestry 5 was what made me give up on java and move to rails.
Partially this is likely due to the relatively low populations - Manitoba and Saskatchewan have a combined population of ~2.5 million.

Alberta bumps up to ~3.7 million, and the connections start to increase.
Has there been an explanation as to why they were using DES? Gawker started in 2003, a year after DES was superseded by AES, and there were plenty of more secure algorithms being used at the time.

Many comments there already.
I'm not a bitcoins expert - but wouldn't any jump in the availability of bitcoins necessarily cause deflation, as with any currency?

If someone finds a way to generate,say, 5x more bitcoins that what the average expected amount is - they have a temporary advantage, but once those coins hit the market, the market is diluted and will quickly catch up.

Bitcoins has replaced mining gold with generating bitcoins - so it will be harnessing server infrastructure and good code / math -vs- digging big holes in the ground.
The alternative is calling out Gawker. They probably shouldn't do that.

Blizzard did it too for the battle.net thing.
Can you state your point rather than obliquely suggesting it?
Not really. Here's the context:

This "child pornography" might be a photo of yourself or your lover that the two of you shared.

Having a photo or drawing does not hurt anyone, so and if you or I think it is disgusting, that is no excuse for censorship.

Having a photo of you out there, shared to people you did not intend or want to have it shared with can most definitely hurt someone.

I can't find the quote right now, but there was an interview in the news here last year with a woman who's dad had taken and sold explicit images of her as a child, and she said a major part of her issues as an adult was that a mere glance from a stranger could trigger a crippling fear that the stranger had seen those photos and had recognized her. Let alone a proper look from someone.

Even though the images might have been taken with consent, unlike my example case, they might later have been spread without consent as in the numerous "revenge porn" cases. Again this can inflict real hurt to those depicted.
Maybe if you and your girlfriend are 17 , she sends you a picture, then next day you are 18 but her picture is of a 17 years old so you are a criminal now.

So make CP illegal, find the criminals if you can, stop the commerce with such material , my paranoia is that I could be setup by police, or by someone that does not like me or even by a fucking troll. In today world such an accusation can destroy your life.
Execution dates are set based on organ demand and surgeon availability. It really is that shitty.
Hive also has had this optimization for as long as I can remember. As others have noted it's not particularly new or novel, it's just not part of the Beam SDK.
> perhaps Belgians highlighted ethnic divisions between the two Bantu peoples

Basically, Belgians decided that one group was superior and cooperated with them. The other group was deemed inferior and treated rather badly. A lot of resentment followed. The groups were pre-existent, the level of resentment was not.

The genocide did not happened out of nowhere, the two groups hated each other ever since and committed small scale atrocities against each other after. Which created situation that was easy to be exploited in Rwandan internal power struggles.

So, it is combination of factors. The culture, attitudes and beliefs that caused genocide were the one growing from colonial system. The minds and decisions were Rwandans.
This is why you generally want to find third-party sources rather than relying on someone to tell you whether to trust them. Start here:

1. it's a slower check, just like equals() intended for value equality is slower than reference equality == in java.

2. 1 == True and 0 == False, as booleans subclass the int type. On the other hand is distingushes between 1 and True, and 0 and False respectively.
I struggle to see how "data caps" would solve this issue. The problem isn't that the total sum of data transiting the network is somehow more than Starlink (or others) can handle--it's that the _burst usage_ is exceeding the network's capacity.

The policy of data caps certainly reduces all data usage, but it's a nuclear bomb to solve an anthill: they should just do a decent job of QoSing their traffic. Say "peak hours" speed is, I dunno, 15mb/s or something, and then offpeak is full speed. People can do their game/os/whatever updates off peak then, and as long as everyone isn't streaming netflix and downloading iOS updates while you're on a zoom call, you should be fine.
> No Western reader will take a peek at a webpage written in Japanese and cry "I can't understand how people speak this language".

Well not speak it, but reading it... yes. Japanese writing is like a prank that I would not believe is real... and I still doubt it.

Suppose there was no google and no search engines, but the internet remained. What would happen to news? Would people go back to reading print newspapers. Would people start paying premium for newspaper display ads when such ads do not command a premium on other web sites?

No. People would find their news as they do now, on twitter, on reddit, via emailed links, via text messages from friends.

In what way has google distorted the news market, separate from the internet itself?
It's been very explicit some places I've worked. I was given an allocation of X thousands pounds of raises and Y share options. This was allocated based on a certain percentage of the current remuneration of the overall team, and combined with a set of guidelines for how to allocate it based on team performance.

If I wanted to go above my allocation, I'd have to justify it a couple of management levels up, and if approved they'd recoup it by adjusting someone in another team in my group down.
Even on an Intel Mini, USB-C boot takes much longer than internal boot, seemingly due to Apple shenanigans.

I have worked with External SSDs on Macs for years. Partially because to circumvent the Apple Price Tax.

This. Don't wait until everything is perfect. If your side project does a barely minimum to be usable, just release it somewhere (if it's an open source project) or deploy it and send a message for other people to try it.

Other people's feedback is a huge factor in being motivated.
If anyone has a spare, I would very much like one. I'm centigonal at google's mail site.
Look at the corridors that had lots of sightings. In my area of upstate NY, there were a ton of sightings later revealed to be due to testing the terrain following radars in cruise missiles. I guess the topography looked like whatever area of the former Soviet Union the missiles would target.

> International keyboard handling is very difficult. I was talking about a mostly western key layout, I don't even want to know what it's like to deal with non-western keyboard layouts (russian, greek, chinese, japanese, etc).

The difficulty here is getting things like dead keys, key combinations (AltGr) and Compose right. Everything after that simply generates a Unicode string in the application. At which point the script is irrelevant. In fact, the difficult parts here happen completely below anything that needs text, so language or script is a non-issue at that point.
Everything text is great if you listen to Stephen Frey reading it to you. But I personally think the "Goblin of Fire" (the 4th?) is the worst.

Comes to something when a major food producer is (a) worried at the effect on their business of people importing chocolate bars from another country, and (b) considers this niche activity such a threat that, instead of, for example, you know, actually improving _their_ product to compete, that they instead run to the courts to shut it down, and on the most bogus of claims too - e.g. That customers might be "confused" that a British Yorkie bar is not "from the fine folks who bring you" York Peppermint Patties.
The even better parasite story is the one that enters into a rat and crosses it's wires so that it is sexually attracted to cat pee. It goes into heat when it sees the cat and naturally gets eaten - the goal was the cat brain the whole time. As heard on NPR http://www.wbur.org/npr/9560048.
Would you perhaps say that one could only say something about thermohaline circulation trends 20 years from now, when there's 30 years of data?

Until that, what should our policy be based on?
Presently most of our CF algorithms utilize Apache Spark but we intend to be agnostic on this and allow any machine learning platform to be integrated. I believe that Spark can easily handle this size of data set.

With regards to horizontal scaling, there are two parts to consider. Creating the models and serving the recommendations (the Seldon server project).

Model creation is done in a variety of ways, but but can be managed with scalable technologies such as Spark.

The Seldon Server project can be deployed on as many machines are you require and they will work together to provide recommendations behind a load balancer. We have experience working with some very large news websites so this part of our technology is well developed.
