Indeed my preference is definitely not to hack on proprietary software. However if I have to do the same thing I'd prefer not to have to choose and learn how to use two different libraries for example.

As for vdaniuk's response, I read it and I dont see what value it adds. The comment basically said overall GPL is good, without any explanation. Obviously I dont disagree that its good but dont see why one would encourage it over MIT or BSD.
> no regulator is going to compel an ISP to peer with all networks at all peering points.

Then we need new--and more stringent--regulation.
This loophole was closed in Texas....right around the time that Nolan Ryan brand beef started appearing in the grocery stores.
You are happy because the new bridge isn't "dangerous and awkward", but I maintain your standards are too low.
Calling it 'sideload' is already aiding the enemy. It's the normal way of doing things. Installing software from an app-store should have a different name instead.
Come on, /that/ downvote was unfair.

I can grudgingly accept that people downvote me for saying negative things about someone without linking to evidence (that really does exist, I swear!).

But Berkeley DB not being robust back in the day shouldn't be controversial at all. It's a simple fact.

And look: here's someone who agrees:

That is impossible to square with a secret vote.

The tried and tested way to hold free and fair elections are paper ballots, simple boxes with obvious seals, and observers from all parties as well as international ones.
Capital Police opened the security line, encouraged the "protesters" inside, and were even shown having selfies taken with them. What other conclusion can you reach than that this was supported if not organized by someone with authority over the security forces sworn to protect the Capital? If true, this is Sedition.
This has been America from the beginning. The few have carried the many. Before this was not a major issue because the selection of people on radio or TV to curated to some degree. Now with Social Media, every idiot has a voice and idiots are drowned to other idiots.
We are exerting control, but not complete control, and it's certainly not fascism.

Ideally, yes, everyone could understand every concept from the ground up and be able to engage in reasonable discourse about anything.

At this point, the complexity of the world precludes the majority of people from doing that, which is why we have specialization.

Practically speaking, people rely on authoritative sources to gain information about something so they can form opinions and make decisions. Those authorities do define what's reasonable based on different attributes, and in doing so exert control, but that doesn't make what they're doing fascist. It's done because the amount of complexity present in the world requires it.
Try Telegram. It’s as easy to use as WhatsApp for non-tech family and friends, yet has all the features you want out of an IM without too much of the bloat. It has native apps on all major platforms, and for the techies it has a solid API so you can do fun stuff like write your own bots.
Wasn't that Facebook's main promise when they purchased WhatsApp?

Forget whether or not they can, legally; if I recall correctly they explicitly promised not to.

People who work for those without integrity are baffling to me.
Becoming better at being a developer. Delivering more value to your employer. If your employer doesn't value that in terms of paying you more, find an employer that does.
there must be something wrong there, on my late 2014 laptop that mounts

Type: DDR4
Speed: 2133 MT/s

I get

two : 27.1 ns (3x)
two+ : 28.6 ns (2.2x)
three: 39.7 ns (3x)

which is not much, considering this is an almost 6 years old system with 2x slower memor
> These rioting people then committed several felonies of much greater legal concern than anything in the BLM protests and subsequent rioting.

Come again? The BLM riots went on for months, multiple people died, a section of a major city was occupied for weeks (two people murdered by the self appointed security force), a police precinct was burned down (as well as many building in several cities), etc. And you’re talking about the the grave felonies involved in a single day of occupying a public building...
Email is push, this is pull. For stuff below the threshold of breaking news ("grandma has passed"), it would feel awfully presumptuous to email people.
If your devs for your online casino aren’t smart and experienced enough to know when blanket advice and recommendations about random numbers don’t apply to them - enjoy going broke, it shouldn’t take long...
I wonder how mercurial compares in this aspect. Also, I'll keep using git because for sure, it's a helluva lot better than SVN or CVS (which my company was using when I got there).
Apparently 270K iOS devices per day as of Oct 2010 and 366K iOS devices per day as of Jan 2011.

http://www.gadgetvenue.com/366k-ios-devices-activated-day-01...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20110415/tc_pcworld/googlebr...

Other reports say the 350k number for Android is handsets only.
Yeah goodluck with that, proving someone has a particular private key. Of course this is all possible but would require the banning of cryptography, and that would take a disciplined dictatorship to pull that off.

The cryptography cat is out of the bag, you can't just ban it(sure you can try, but like I said, good luck enforcing it).
Sounds like a market opportunity for making them easier to invest.
Cool. A very similar (concept-wise, not yet sure about implementation-wise) DFA/NFA library in Java, developed by Anders Møller at Aarhus University:

http://www.brics.dk/automaton/

I use this on Android and it performs substantially faster than java.util.regex, of course working within the constraints of DFA/NFA as opposed to the "Perlish" regular expressions.

Edit: And dk.brics.automaton has its own C reimplementation. I wonder how the speed and functionality compare to PIRE?

Wow, don't worry looks like somebody else is on the task :) Sorry for being insensitive, I never had a Geocities page myself, so I guess I didn't understand the importance. I thought it was just about Icy Hot Stunnaz and all that.

But regardless, novelty or nostalgia, the point is it's not very utilitarian. I think one can more easily expect a company to rip out things that people want for sentimental reasons, than something somebody currently find useful.
Maybe it's our own experience, but the "nifty stuff" is quite limiting. We've been trying to get combo pack support (ala Amazon's buy this + that together and get $5 off), and it's been a total NIGHTMARE.

For a basic general cart, it's great. But especially for an e-commerce system that you rely on your store for 100% of your income, the second you want to try anything nifty, such as combo packs, flat rate box shipping (mostly calculations involving if a cart can fit in the flat rate box), coupon codes for only specific products, and random general issues (such as 100 variants per product max, which is annoying when trying to hand-create combo packs with 200-300 variants), I'd suggest something else.
Nothing wrong with that. It was just the first thing that popped to mind when I saw it.

I'd love to see a posting about the evolution of the mascot and overall design of the app. It's pretty slick.
The calculation is by percentage of population, not absolute deaths.
Do it! We're not really first-mover... we're just moving a little differently to others before us.

And the health and fitness industry is huge - ripe for hackers to disrupt!
By all means, try to raise your rates. The first step toward being paid a lot of money is asking for it.

But if these templates sound like a good idea to you, you need to focus on something else first. The only way you could change your rate via email is if you're doing your freelance work without a formal contract, which is a colossal mistake.

So, forget these email templates. First, get all your clients to sign a services agreement. The time to negotiate your rate is when you and your client draft and sign the statements of work appended to that agreement.
Rock on.

Maybe I got tilted by the parent comment, which was very bitter/trollish. :-)
According to a tweet on Dec. 9 it should be coming "very soon"

Vietnamese would be easier to recognize/do a translation pack for too, now you mention it - basically the Latin alphabet with extra marks to make 30 letters. Apparently there are more north Vietnamese around here and Oakland, more South Vietnamese in SJ and down south, maybe 450k in all of CA. Chinese-American maybe 5-600k? More than 150k in SF.

Incidentally, there's other and easier untapped startup opportunities for the Asian language demographic, if anyone wants to send me a note via gmail

My in-laws are a mix so either language is good, both is better. I can promise 3 Android and 1 iPhone sale just in my home :)
Is there anything I can do to hasten IPv6, either as a guy who builds and runs website, or as a plain-old user? Or is it just a matter of waiting for the ISPs to roll it out?
I have trouble taking such studies seriously. I have a life-threatening medical condition which typically causes people to be underweight and I was quite thin as a child but put on a lot of weight as an adult (probably in part due to being prescribed steroids for my health issues). After finally getting an appropriate diagnosis late in life, I did some research and changed my diet to address my health issues. I have lost several dress sizes, even though that was not my goal. I was getting plenty of positive male attention when I was a size 24-26 and my doctor was telling me to work on my health issues and not worry about my weight (because people like me are typically underweight, which is more immediately life-threatening than being overweight), so I had no goal of losing weight. I was just trying to get healthier because I was so sick, on a lot of medication and miserable.

My experience tends to fly in the face of the pronouncements such studies make, so I just have a really hard time taking it seriously that you can come up with a generic suggestion for diet that will work equally well for 6 billion people.
And as lots of people have already pointed out, an ad-free version would be pirated instantly. This way they make some money out of the Android user base.

Personally I suspect that once the hive mind gets to work even ads will stop working and Android will simply not have any commercial-grade software whatsoever.
Unless you are a female student in physical sciences or math, I don't think you can really understand what its like to be told, implicitly and explicitly, for most of your secondary and college education, that you are inferior to your male peers.

I honestly don't believe this is the actual problem. Students of both sexes encounter negative attitudes during their schooling. It's just that women are more likely to take it to heart.

The average male physics student (I include myself in this) has something of an underlying belief that they understand the world better than everyone else. It's an expression of the extreme male brain.

I doubt you would find the same characteristics in male students studying, say acting.
>If a student was going to strike, he would waste all the money he had put in that semester. Hence, there is no way to protest against bad teaching.

Too true.

There's a pretty big strike movement growing in the California school system. Strikes aren't continuous, but there has been a few rather large actions.

It doesn't seem to be working - tuition has increased at UCs 42.56% over the last year alone. (Last ~Nov, a 32% increase in tuition was approved by the UC Regents; this year, another 8% this month.) Despite the massive tuition increases, classes and professors - and in some cases entire departments - continue to face the chopping block.

Oddly, there doesn't seem to be a plurality of student support - most students I've talked with are against the protests.

Thanks for the reply - I'm always suspicious of large binaries with OSX!
Anyone notice there are no outlets on the walls with the current unit for sale.(ref: word doc) Cannot help but envision 12-months of this personally to finish project, better yet turning say one section into a serious satellite ycombinator incubator.

I was shocked when I saw these defaults on recent trips to NYC. I lived there before these machines and 15-20% has always been the standard--less if the driver was rude, reckless, or deliberately slow--but almost never more than 20%.

Including the surcharge is fine because it's part of the fare, but including tax and tolls is unreasonable.

I typically choose 20% or Other. Now I will be sure to check the software as well.
I've had the opposite experience, typically. At an old job, I was trying to use a Windows 7 workstation for the same tasks as I'd use my GNU/Linux-based home workstations (and the Macbook I'm using at my current job): running VMs with VirtualBox, running local installations of PostgreSQL, etc. Windows was the more painful one, for me at least.

Granted, I'm not a fan of OS X by any means; far from it. However, the one redeeming quality is the fact that it's Unix underneath all the buggy Aqua and Finder and Cocoa and such, so at least I'm able to set it up with MacPorts (and/or Homebrew) and get some proper work done with it just like I would on any other Unix-like OS. You can't do that with Windows, at least not easily (and certainly not as painlessly).

That said, the presence of virtualization extensions in one's CPU would make a significant positive difference; if the Mac you used lacked VT-x (which could be checked by running "sysctl machdep.cpu.features" and seeing if there's a "VMX" entry somewhere in the output of that), it would certainly explain your difficulties with VMWare and Parallels.

It's also worth mentioning that HyperV isn't exactly equivalent to VMWare Fusion or Parallels; it's more equivalent to VMWare ESXi, Xen, or KVM.
Hello, HN. This is my second attempt to show this project. TOP.ST - it's a real-time news monitoring service.

Since my previous post project has undergone many improvements.

1. Full redesign. Now it looks more clean and modern.

2. Performance improvements.

3. Ranking algorithm improvements.

4. 11 Countries and 5 languages added.

Much work is still ahead, any feedback can help me a lot. Thanks!

P.S. More countries will be added in near future.
The best startup-related part is the concession speech literally ending with the words "our incredible journey".

I've thought the consensus among experts is that we'll have to not only stop pollution but also re-capture a lot of what we've already released?
Well.. they are all white, so the algorithms would actually work.

But no: nobody who previously advocated against, say, running face detection on random CCTV feeds has changed their position, as far as I can tell.
Same here, Commodore V20 cassette & cartridge to Tandy 1000TL/2 3.5” single density.
That they would all be so lax is not a sign of ineptitude, so much as it is a belief that they will not face consequences for their actions.
The design is absolutely beautiful too. Congrats. Did you do the design yourself?
prediction^5: We're all right. All of the above will happen, and many things we didn't see coming.

Also, coupons will still be boring.
box-shadow > 12px (radius) get's bad. It's possible to have a dozen or more elements with box-shadow < 8px (radius), and have the same performance as one element with box-shadow > 18px.
I'm the other kind. I rarely ask questions, and when I do, I end up giving the best answer anyway.

But you should not be afraid to answer questions.
That's wrong. There is very little fructose in vegetable juice. And the liver does not convert fructose into glucose, but in a whole bunch of unhealthy chemicals, including LDL.
You graduated 10 years ago. The college scene has changed significantly since then. We don't "learn" any more. We simply grind through stacks of mind-numbing busywork in the form of homeworks and midterms given to us by the TAs of professors who are too lazy to actually attend their own lectures since they're busy working on their own pet research projects. College is an orgy of work that ends when you've accumulated enough credits so that you can receive your little piece of paper that says you're eligible for a cubicle job for the rest of your life. It's not an education, it's a chore, another hoop that society deems you should jump through before you become your own man.

I am a 3rd year EECS student. I am graduating this year. I already have a company that I can hardly wait to throw myself full time into. Good riddance.
It depends.

I'm sure the people building YouTube thought it was a pretty dumb and costly idea.

You could tell your client you don't think their project would take off, but you never know unless and until you try. Also, why not give some guidance towards a small pivot in your perceived good project direction?

Crass ideas like when it's about a new OS or something of the like you wouldn't take on anyway. Right?
Hi, I will surely work on making the game more self-explainatory, and I will add better "in-your-face" descriptions. As it stands, I do agree that things might be confusing for first-time players. Thanks for the feedback!
I worked out a system two years ago for doing something like this, but with the idea of networking all of the commercial parking lots in San Francisco together, and creating algorithms & equipment to allow for either instantaneous variable-rate pricing, or to suggest parking "deals" for lot managers to announce in order to try and keep their lots full.

In the end, I realized that this was price-fixing and that I would probably be sued for it. The government, however, is allowed to do things to the citizen that the citizen may not do.
The article ends with the admonishion that they cannot print something more accurate than the printer itself, but if that is so, is it a physical law?

If it is a physical law, how, for instance, has evolution achieved human minds, and how have people moved from stone tools to...well, we use diamond edges, which are stone. But the point stands.
What more do you need to stop bleeding? It's not like we're worried about gangrene here.
Sorry, but unfortunately I can't. The authors are permitted to put it online (where scholar.google and CiteSeerX usually immediately find them) but in this case they don't appear to have done so.
Most 9 year olds don't know about chiaroscuro in the same way most 9 year old programmers don't know about compiler theory.

I think at the undergraduate level a lot of what they teach won't get you hired if you know it but will get you fired if it turns out you don't.
And what are you doing with the money?
Reporter asking AT&T's CEO: What is it that you, AT&T, does?

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPE!

RAPE RAPE RAPE!

RAPE RAPE RUH RUH RAPE RUH RAPE RRrrrrrrrrrRAPE!"

Reporter: "What do you mean?"

AT&T CEO: "RAPE RAPE PROFIT RAPE RAPE RAPE PROFIT RAPE STEVE JOBS' BITCH RAPE RAPE RAPE PROFIT RAPE RAPE".

AT&T is just further proof that the Sherman Anti-Trust Laws have been a joke played against the public ever since Microsoft was given a light tap on their posterior as punishment for their crimes against the nation.

$15/month for 200MB is equivalent to paying $22,500/Mbps.

As a soon to be ex-at&t and iphone user, every single interaction with at&t and apple makes my anus hurt. But at least the call quality is second to none. Wait, is none really the word I mean to use?
The iPhone still had a 4-5x market share advantage last I checked.
Before heading for the big airlines, if this is a product that might suit smaller airline businesses like charter business or something, you might want to talk to them first.

Even if they aren't your target market, if they can relate to the issues you are trying to solve, I suspect they would be much more approachable than the bigger airlines.

The key thing is get out there as soon as possible, and talk about the idea. From the sounds of things you are building a product for a specific customer and you haven't approached that customer at all yet.

You may think that you understand the customers problem, but you might not.

If you haven't checked out Steve Blanks's Customer Development info, I suggest you do.

Love the service. Cars are available all across the city with lots of places allocated to park.

They frequently have promos to waive the starting membership fee ($60 I think) and give some free minutes.

I drove my girlfriend from the downtown core, out to the airport, and then back to my place for $17 (a taxi regularly costs around $50+ for the trip just out to the airport).
The US mobile network system has plenty of competition presently. In fact, it's competitive enough that it has evolved faster faster and better than most European mobile networks. It took nearly all of Europe a very long time to get 4G adoption above even 50% of the population.
I agree. Fork it, flesh out those details and submit a pull request. I get the feeling this is very much a work in progresses.
You don't need direct access to the CAN bus, you just need something that has access to it give you a data feed with those values. Which is how it's done in any of the entertainment systems I've worked on. (I interpret the question to be about direct bus access because something being able to just write to the bus and cause issues is typically what people are concerned about. Obviously the values originally come from the bus, and the data feed can be quite raw)
Steal the laptops of Pelosi and her staff.
I love the emphasis on data export / analysis and ownership of your data. I also love the quantified self aspects of this.

However as I've gotten older, I've learned that it's incredibly freeing to at least partially let go of some of your data and not worry if it gets lost or erased.

Tracking and managing all of this sucks up a lot of time and mental effort, that you could be using to progress in other areas of your life. I prefer to focus on the present instead of letting the past occupy so much of my mind.

On one hand, keeping backups of important files and automating that as much as possible is good. Tracking your top 2-10 most important habits (e.g. sleep, workouts) can also be very good.

But for social media sites (like Reddit, HackerNews, Twitter, YouTube, etc), it's just too much of a pain to manage. And they can kick you off in a heartbeat for any reason. I personally treat all content on those sites as potentially being erased at any time.

If I have anything important (e.g. a good post, comment, or image that I want to save), I make sure to save that locally, usually in a personal outliner/wiki that I use called zim-wiki (it's like Evernote/Notion/Obsidian, but it's all just flat wiki-formatted plain text files and folders that are easily greppable and scriptable). You can also post the best content on your own site. None of this requires regular social media exports, APIs, or any programming - you can just copy/paste/save this content as you create it into your own categorized section of your filesystem or PIM tool.
Nice plug! https://www.movement.fm/cinema is also a really dope way that gives you the ability to customize your space, provide ticketing integration, more admin tools and immersion!
It backs up to Library Genesis.

And while the paper collection software isn't FOSS, it's really the idea behind article sourcing that's important.
