That's just a side effect of being in the news at all. Even before the internet was in everyone's pocket, celebrities had paparazzi and crazy stalkers. Bad people are going to do horrible things but that doesn't mean we should stop propagating all news thanks to them. You're basically advocating for a heckler's veto.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler%27s_veto

which specifically goes into violent reactions:

> Most findings say that the acting party's actions cannot be pre-emptively stopped due to fear of heckling by the reacting party, but in the immediate face of violence, authorities can force the acting party to cease their action in order to satisfy the hecklers.
You get an upvote for bringing up Morricone! That man is a genius!!
You should really play around with this, if you haven't. Going at speed through the galaxy Star Trek-style felt very freaky:

I imagine the experience would be so much better in VR.
As a long time programmer, this gives an insight into why I avoid Haskell. Syntax matters, in part because it has such an influence on style. When I look at the code, I can't read it. There seem to be poor choices on choosingcasesformultiplewords that dependOnContext but are still unreadable.

I can't help feeling that the reserved terms, such as Functor, Applicative, F, and liftF bring the chaos to the thinking process that is reflected in the article. I skimmed it, tried to read it, and still have no idea what the person was even trying to do.

This is a language that discourages clarity.
Tone is not phonemic in English. What you are describing is properly called intonation, which is the application of pitch (as well as stress, loudness, tempo and other markers) to distinguish more subtle conversational functions.

Stress in English is phonemic however, viz. this minimal pair:

"rekord (record, n.) vs r@"kord (record, v.)

This is a regular phonological process in many English dialects to derive verbs from certain nouns (or is it the other way around?). Future English could turn this into a tonal distinction - I think that has a precedent in Swedish.
I think the biggest qualification factor of a cash flow positive business mitigates quite a bit of risk (as long as there's some minimum bar of >= $50k / year).

The part that's tough is: what's the use of raising additional capital?

Is it to go full time on the product? Is it for marketing?
mitmproxy has quite a few features though :)
Some people have to learn everything the hard way.
Because people come to the HN comments for stimulating, challenging, passionate expressions of thought, not reasonable ones!
I'd go to bed at 7 AM and wake up at 1 PM. A regular nine to five job would be 3 PM to 11 PM.

I, personally, have pretty much no social life so it wouldn't affect me that much if we had to work nine hundred hours to seventeen hundred hours UTC while living in central time zone (UTC - 6:00).

I'd imagine we'd burn up a lot more fuel if everyone worked nights and slept days though. Also, I read somewhere that access to sunlight (or lack thereof) can alter people's emotional state.
I think this is outside the realm of possibility for many current TSOs.
I think wmf implied the dead cow is also an irrelevant one. I am not sure about it being dead - lots of phones still come with it and, if licensing terms include number of units, that's quite a lot. It will die soon, but, in the meantime, it may be getting Oracle some free money anyway.
Personal computers?
If the loans don't start flowing again, we are looking at deflation.

But, if the dollar tanks in worth, couldn't that cause inflation? The cost of most of our goods and services in the U.S. are based on goods and services overseas which would go up if the dollar devalued by 20% as some say it might.
Since the hot standby can't serve read requests and is synchronous, I assume something like DRBD is being used on the block level to replicate the data to a separate AZ. I assume AMZN has adequate interconnect bandwidth between their AZs. Gigabit Ethernet has around 100-200μs RTT latency, and then there is the fact that you're writing the data twice...
Still, feature phones are still sold with it. I don't know the licensing conditions, but it's quite possible Oracle expects to get some money out of that.

I know one of my phones has it and its Gmail client requires it.
> People will shoot them down for fun

I hear this a lot, along with comments about self-driving cars being unusable because 'people will run in front of them to make them stop', and I just don't get it. In what country would it be deemed legal and normal for people to shoot down drones? Do people take pot-shots at light aircraft? Why would people suddenly want to shhot at drones? The same with self-driving cars - people don't run into traffic to make human drivers stop, although they would certainly try their best not to run you over, so why would they start doing it with self-driving cars. I've also heard the argument that people will vandalise the cars, destroy the LIDAR sensors and so on, but yet we don't have spates of people throwinf paint over the windscreen of normal cars. I think it says more about the mentality of the commentors that about the peeibilities for automated vehicles, flying or driving.
No. The scenario is a good agent outside with a gun to his head.
Your original claims, plural, included "typing" which cited ES7 TypedObjects (yet TypedObjects are not "typing" as you used the term: a type system, whether optional or tool-checked), and modules. Both of those assertions are flat wrong.

Again, modules in ES6 started before Dart ("Dash") leaked.

Your original comment said "Thank you Dart for showing us the way." Happy-clappy nonsense!

Why am I on the warpath?

First, sloppy history retelling -- even if just fannish exaggeration -- is bad in itself.

Second, and I've gone on the record about this since 2011, Google chose the wrong "REPLACE JS BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE FIXED" strategy, and wasted years and megabucks. Their choice, but not something to congratulate them over. We could have had even more in ES6 if the V8 team had not been reset and JS back-benched as it was. That cost years.

Third, the meme you're spreading is that JS is incompetent or severely hobbled without being shown the way by enlightened others. This does a disservice to many people including the V8 team (the new team) members working in earnest on JS via implementations and TC39. It's a particular falsehood to which I object as a peer of those people on TC39.

Dart as an intentionally designed, full-time-job-for-60+-people, good and well-done project at Google, creating useful and coherent tools as well as the language itself? A fine thing in isolation, ignoring the actual history, global strategy, and consequent trade-offs.

Dart as the thing that showed JS the way (same for CoffeeScript, but let's defer that and focus on Dart)? A fraudulent claim that covers up real mistakes in strategy made by Google, which cost big time and money, not just for JS and the Web, but bad also (in light of this week's news) for Dart.

Why was the strategy bad for Dart? One example: only now, finally, might bignums get into ES7/2016. They could have been in ES6 and in V8 and other engines by now, since we were working on them since 2010, but without a champion who saw the priority and paid someone to spec and implement them in V8.

Do you see my point? Please do not play games about me "admitting" SIMD and maybe one other something else came from Dart. I've written that many times in multiple threads without prodding, on HN and on twitter. This is not an ego match. It's about accurate attribution of history, work, influence, and causality.
I agree, also gives a sense of accomplishment. I may not get a tricky problem fixed or make progress on a project in the day; but damn it, those dishes are clean!
There's procedure for that. Just read the comments in this thread, and watch the video.
However, the wallet technology is extremely insecure.
Rolling backup is at least one use case. This is why they only guarantee data destruction after 180 days (at least per the last document I read about it) for Apps customers.

This comment thread is in its own category of low quality discussion.

Negativity bias prevents you from seeing that 95% of the homepage right now is technical/nerdy with a lot of high quality corresponding discussion.

When political/social issues hit the homepage, they often slide off quickly if the corresponding discussion is of low quality (has many downvoted comments).

HN is certainly not perfect but just focusing on the parts you don't like prevents you from seeing the bigger picture.
I think narrowing down based on the specs you want is great. Then you can go more in depth when you have a sample of which ones you want.
That's the same strange attitude that got a man fired from DC gov't for using the word "niggardly."

If your sensitivity is such that you can't handle similarities in word sounds I recommend you lock yourself indoors cause it's a tough world out there.
There's a pretty big difference between selective breeding within an existing species and injecting foreign DNA from a different species.
I think I read this somewhere here a few months ago (paraphrasing, obviously): "When the indices for your DB don't fit into a single machines RAM, then you're dealing with Big Data, not before."
Good read. Good to know that Uber engineering culture was as much of a dumpster fire (despite the brilliant moves) as their product.
This isn’t super common where I am (although you can do it). I had a coworker who practiced something like this so they could go to the gym in the afternoon when it would be less crowded. Or for the soccer example, not much of a choice if you want to watch live European sports.

Also at least in Seattle it seems like every doctor’s office keeps bankers hours (M-F 9-5) so you would have to disrupt your own workday to go to an appointment, though in practice I haven’t known people to bother putting in extra work if their projects are reasonably getting done on time.
Oddly, it doesn't tell you that Google itself will still track you through Google Analytics.

Something that is under Google's control.
Interesting. I've not looked at the long rule list in a while.
Dollars are also under control of the Fed. More than 20% of all USD that have ever existed were printed in the last year. Next year they could double or triple the money supply, and that decision is up to a tiny group of individuals. How does that make you feel?

At least with cryptos, you have an opportunity to participate in the decision making, and it's not just 5 rich people with political connections who decide to make your bank account worthless.
The pool of people who understand any popular scripting language is incomparably larger than the pool of people who understand your clever dialect of YAML, JSON or XML.

Yea, i lean Nvidia - because i hear more consistently that they behave well in Linux, and doubly so with Blender.

AMD seems to either be more hit or miss, OR it used to be, and a lot of that is just a poor history.

Either way the GPU buying landscape is difficult for me.
Yeah, and there are some excellent fingerprinting testing sites that show it that even from a single website visit you can be narrowed down substantially, and from there a few more visits to sites working together and they could easily pin you down to an exact person. The discussion about malicious actors is insane, even legitimate ones can do it easily.
>Two candidates? That's a balance? I don't see that.

Two candidates who, combined, are polling at nearly 40% of the party vote.

>And, to my point (thank you), they are both Blue. So the narrative remains a Party v Party paradigm. How's that workin' out for us?

This is a tiresome cliche that ignores how politics structurally works.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law

In multi-party democracies it doesn't end up being all that different in terms of any individual voter getting what they want, it's just that the tacking to the median voter happens after the election is done instead of through a primary process.
My impression is that a lot of startups start at "average" and work their way up through the learning curve very fast as they build the business. That may or may not mean a lot of tech know-how - take Twitter vs. Groupon, for a relatively extreme example.
you may want to look into facebook disconnect.

Does it really matter? It's not like that was the point of the article.
You really thought that no one in Africa had any money at all? You think it's just a bunch of dark skinned people squatting in the mud? Jesus.
Prior to the industrial revolution, status in most societies was based on one thing only: heredity. No matter how much you accomplished - or didn’t - you stayed in the same station of life.

Ye, this isn't really true. Lets take, for example, 18th century Naval officers from the UK:

* Captain Cook - discovered Australia, mapped the Pacific etc. Father was a farmer

* Horatio Nelson - Defeated the French, considered greatest Naval commander of all time. Father was a minister

* Arthur Philip - Commander during American Revolution, lead colonization of Australia. Father was a teacher.

It is a very common misconception that in old society it was impossible to move from the lower classes into the upper classes. The British Empire, the prototypical aristocracy, was largely shaped and developed by people who were raised in the lower classes. This is because the military, navy, their universities (eg. Isaac Newton), and many other parts of government and private societies were strict meritocracies.

The upper classes actually produced a very small number of notable people, outside of royalty (Charles Darwin, Churchill, Brunel (although his grandfather was a French farmer)

(Edit: "America became the first large-scale experiment of a society that could be called a meritocracy." - Citation needed. See above.)
In contrast with Microsoft, which switched from standard progress bars to "right moving ripple" progress bars in Vista. Which, as the article states, makes it look like it's moving slower!
Or, it might have been written for any generic tech company, and then "Microsoft" was tagged on for SEO purposes...
It has quotes from Microsoft employees.
IIRC the american dream doesn't come with any warranty. There's no entitlement to success. He did his best but failed. Kudos to him, but he'll have to try again.
So you're saying it doesn't require any additional modules to be installed? [edit: aside from modules that come with perl, that is.] Cool.

It was encryted with DES. It's been compromised.
I think even this test fails to capture true JS performance due to it's lack of DOM performance testing. This may not be terribly fair - is the performance of the DOM API still "Javascript"? - but then again, I'd prefer "useful" over "fair." Most of my JS tends to interact with the DOM in some manner, so it won't really matter if the pure JS stuff screams if the DOM is slow.

Another question: Crockford claims that JSLint is more indicative of true JS performance, but doesn't really explain why. I think we're all predisposed to take him at his word, but I'd still like an explanation.
This is interesting. In the next piece can I request you go into a bit more detail about how you increase in traffic flow to your site...basically what marketing did you do?

You would take the Fifth Amendment and invoke your right against self incrimination.
Your comment is exactly correct -- you wouldn't have gotten anything more on the academic side, but you missed out on the networking. Speaking from my MBA experience, the networking was 95-99% of the value.

As far as I know, there hasn't ever been a code base restart for Windows CE (the kernel and infrastructure components). The Pocket PC/Windows Mobile/Windows Phone interface/app platform layer above it has been restarted a couple times, hence the name changes.

It would be interesting to see if the "Gift This App" feature gets much use as this will be the first Christmas since the feature was implemented. I have only seen one of my apps gifted so far.

It's debatable. "Startup Nation" is an excellent PR book, but nothing more. For the real state of affair read "Hummus Manifesto" [1].

The fact is, that Jewish peers outside Israel has more success, than in Israel. It can easily be explained by the fact that they didn't wasted 3 most productive years of their lives to the army service.

The Jewish population in Israel is more a less of the same size as Jewish population in US. Yet Sergey Brin, Larry Page and Mark Zuckerberg were generated not in Israel, but in US.
If their families had immigrated to Israel and they had spent 3 years in the IDF, I doubt Google and Facebook existed today.

not treated as a pollutant but NZ runs a 'consenting' regime and one of them is to do with the power station (huntley) on one of the main rivers (the waikato) - it is only allowed to operate so as to maintain a temperature window on the river. this is complicated by the fact that the river flowrate (hence volume) is bounded by a consent with a different company that operates the hydroelectric system...

Thats OK. I have had the case of convert Json to Language Class objects myself before.
I did this in Python a while ago, but I was following JSON Schema [1]:

Its use was very internal and to be hones we would have just pickle or unpickle Python objects and it'd have been the same result (for our use case).

"Average" figures are usually meaningless if not outright deceptive. If Bill Gates gets on a bus the average net worth shoots way up, but it doesn't mean a thing.

Consider a distribution where the top app earned $1,000,000, the next ten earned $100,000 total, the next 100 earned $10,000 total. The "average" earnings would be $10,000. But the vast majority of apps (100 out of 111) actually earn about 100 bucks.
No. Shutting off parts of the Internet wouldn't put even a tiny dent in cybercrime. There are, however, circumstances in which it might save people's lives, particularly people who rely on continuously available electricity to live.
I believe pg was referring to college, and grad school not high school. Few people can argue that dropping out of PhD school to start a start-up was a bad move for Larry Page & Sergey Brin.
Yeah, we make it clear to reviewers that the point isn't to inject their own opinions as to how it should have been written (and certainly not "your curly brace is in the wrong spot"!) but rather to determine:

- did they likely write the code, for obvious reasons
- are they aware of the various tradeoffs and choices they made, i.e. we might not agree but can they make a reasonable argument for them - this demonstrates breadth of knowledge
- how are their communication skills?
Doesn't sound misleading. What would that regulation body be? What's less susceptible to corruption than government?

Some private body with guys placed directly from the industry? Some public body with guys voted by the people (and then regulated themselves how?)

It makes sense in the context of tonal harmony. An octave is the interval between the 1st and 8th notes of a major or minor scale. I.e. a major or minor scale repeats itself (at double the frequency) every eight notes. A major third is the interval between the first and third notes of a major scale, and so on.
A personal anecdote why some blog poster is scared and worried about ToS of cloud providers? Sure, go ahead and host your website in your mom's basement. That's exactly my point, a company who has reason to believe they will violate the ToS of business partners should not make business with those business partners. It's kind of trivial.

That's why Parler was such an epic fail, not because they didn't host everything themselves. They were acting as if they'd care about free speech - unless it wasn't totally compatible with their personal views, in case of which they'd ban instantly - and did not prepare in the slightest for contingencies and were caught in the cold. All of that in the light of plenty of precedents, ranging from Napster over Piratebay to ISIS propaganda websites. It baffles my mind how a company could be so unprepared.
And if I remember correctly, (I wrote my last patent 10 years ago) there are annuals fees that would invalidate any right if not paid.
Precisely. The OP reaches the wrong conclusion from an excellent point.

The fact that they are benefiting as a consumer because of location based salaries is another point against them. Pitting “closing down the ‘sweatshops’” (i.e. unemployment) as the only alternative for the workers is disingenuous. Another alternative is worker control over the factories. Yes OP as a consumer will loose some luxury as the price of consumer products rises along with the workers’ pay, but what natural law states that the OP has the right to that luxury at the cost of foreign workers?

The original point, you deserve the value of your work in salaries regardless of your location still holds. Even more so when it is applied to the global scale. And the fact that it isn’t applied on the global scale is just another fact pointing to the fact that we live in an unequal economy that exploits workers. Instead of rejecting this, OP should have reached the conclusion that there are alternative worker arrangements which would benefits workers globally.
