Don't worry folks, it was just a few "bad apples", who happened to be vetted, highly trusted, undercover law enforcement officials. Just goes to show you how only criminals use Bitcoin.

Sigh, this is incorrect.

edit: incorrect is perhaps too strong, it is incomplete.

While it is true that click tracking can be used as a relevance signal, the people who were really pissed off when the data stream got dumped were advertisers who wanted to buy AdWords. That was a very simple system, pay someone for clickstream data, extract trending queries, front those with AdWord buys to get your page on the top of Google's results, and profit.

Having built a search engine and run it for 5 years, we got to see what people felt was relevant and what wasn't in a very loose way with click stream data. Basically you have a query and 10 blue links you can split the results in quartiles and figure out if the thing they clicked on was top half, bottom half, top quarter/second quarter etc. And do A/B testing to see how that played out. But what we found was that the best indication of what a page was about, was the text that linked to it. If you have an in-link to a page which was "<href='page'>great radio site"[1] then "great radio site" would be a query that should return that page which might be titled something like "bob's electromagnetic spectrum imaginarium" or something equally unlikely to come up in a query string.

So the bottom line is that there are lots of ways to try to determine relevance, click stream data is a part of that but by no means the biggest factor.

Griddy seems like it would be a win-win for people with solar panels and decent battery storage
For India, there is smallcase.

Like, oh, say, "regular consumer electric rates" that everyone ordinarily pays?
Yeah, I forward to a smart host. And I’m probably fine about leaking local IP since I’m usually communicating with people who know where I live anyway :)
It would be called having a fixed cost contract
Griddy is/was an electricity retailer that sold at wholesale prices to customers. The cold front in texas lead to extremely high prices. This impact has been most evident for Griddy users who did not reduce their energy usage. There have been many news reports about people with $9k or $16k energy bills.

Griddy is a very small part of the market and didn’t make any additional profit from the raised prices but all the same they have had a lot of press.
Both B) and C) is because these small businesses, most of them have no website. The barrier to entry for businesses to go online from a resource perspective (time, training, cost etc.) is much, much lower to just have a Whatsapp business account.

Whatsapp is just an amazing bang-for-your-buck proposition, but we are limited to the constraint of that ecosystem.
How would that differ from just paying retail price for electricity?
That's fair, but on my personal computer when I'm lounging on the couch, a mouse isn't going to cut it. I'm also talking specifically about laptops. Apple laptops have the best trackpad experience I've ever used. So my personal laptops will always be Apple until I find something better.
I completely agree that it is a healthy attitude to have, and all of Apple's claims should be independently investigated. But I also agree that you should check facts or provide citations before spreading FUD:

- There was never any API for a third party app on iOS to get the time spent in another app. The only workaround I saw to this was an app that asked you to screenshot your app usage screen, and it was able to process those screenshots in an automated way (can't find the link).

- There is an API to open URLs between apps, so that one app can link to another app. When developers realized that they could check whether or not a given URL was openable to check if an app is installed, they started abusing this API to check every app on the system. Apple cracked down on the API in iOS 9 and made it so that all apps declare which other apps they can check, and App Review decides if they have a legitimate use: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiapplicatio...

I'm not working in the US but I'd definitely not take a job at any salary without knowing the office culture, overtime trends etc. I'd simply be very up front with that I'm not about to work more than 40h on average, and that the compensation is exactly for that.
When I recruit people, I fully expect them to have the same idea. If this makes me less eligible for the position then that's all the better: I wasn't interested anyway.
I would be curious to see what kind of tool could do this. It sounds like "tree shaking" (like dead code removal) which may be possible in the far future with ES6 imports. I imagine it would further add to build times.

Not sure how your rant about grunt tasks and templating relates to small npm modules. A 20 minute build time sounds like something was vey wrong. My browserify (incremental) build time is < 100 ms which I can handle.

This comment would be strictly better without that final swipe. Please don't do that on HN.
The final problem is that not many people will write a full implementation of
it other than the big players like mozilla itself or Google or Microsoft.
And the latter two don't have a ton of incentive to do so.

When I see such a proliferation (I looked at one architecture image of OpenID.connect and was shocked) than I am reminded of SOAP and I again think, that one reason might be, to hold smaller players at bay -- and to give the bigger players an advantage. For Facebook, Amazon or an other big internet company, it is really easy to even implement a big stack of software with complicated architectures and many features -- but for a four people start-up it is a big problem.
If only freedom was at work here.

If the market was actually consensual, then innovations like this might actually have a chance to take hold as evidenced by people buying or not buying the product in an open market. Such market forces may even lead to a smart gun that actually works reliably in all the situations it needs to.

However, laws such as the New Jersey one have taken away this opportunity by introducing a coercive element. This has completely changed the dynamic.
... And yet we have >10x the civil servants now... What do they all do?

or how about some thinking/learning - brain consumes a lot of energy when it works. I mean when it really works - to save energy we push (as result of training/repetition) many things into habit, automatic response territory and thus most of the times our brain doesn't actually "work".
it's always good to hear what other people are looking at.

" you're app costs how much? If they've gotten here too quickly, they'll see the price and run. Maybe your price is just too high. Look at the bounce rate of your application on that pricing page. "
i think that's a great tip. if they're interested in paying, only then should they check out the pricing. convince them that the product has value before they start to consider ponying up.
I pretty much suck in a group setting. I mean I can follow okay, of course, but I rarely interject anything. This used to bother me but now I have mostly accepted this is the way I am. In a one-on-one setting, I am much more "normal". I talk a regular amount and if it's something I'm passionate about, I talk a lot. So I am rarely in large groups of friends, as some people are, but rather have a few friends that I hang out with individually. And the people that I do tend to hang out with tend to be outgoing types, or at least talkative people, so that we complement each other. All of this is just to say, work with what ya got, rather than trying to be someone you're not.

As for how to get from point A (small talk) to point B (friendship) I would just keep in mind a few upcoming things and take the opportunity to invite someone out when it arises. Like keep tabs on upcoming events (concerts, festivals, etc) that sorta interest you and then if there's someone you want to get to know better, just mention it and see what you think. Or even if you mention that you both like roller blading (or whatever) you can make an open ended offer to invite them out. Even if they are not interested in that particular thing, if they want to get to know you better too, they will offer something back, then or later. Some people will say always say yes but don't mean it, but that's pretty easy to spot when they don't follow through, but no biggie.

I met a mom at random at a park and she mentioned that she wanted to do more playdates with her kid, and I offered that she could call me and we could set one up, and now she's my best friend. I've met lots of moms before and since, and some we even met for a playdate, but we didn't click as well so we didn't really make a friendship out of it. I think when it comes to making friends, I would say, cast a wide net early on and just be really open to hanging out with people without the pressure of this being a long term friend.
As someone who had to create the opportunity to learn programming once upon a time, I can verify the truth of the quoted remark. It's a crucially important perspective.

It's meant figuratively, of course. He's not suggesting you modify the space/time continuum by sheer force of will. Yeah, there are 24 hours in a day. But what's really meant here is that you can reconfigure the management of your time so as to create availability for your new project. It's the idea that you can create a period of time freed from other obligations. Unless you're operating at 100% efficiency, there's always a bit of fat you can trim in exchange for something else.

If you're uncompromising in your commitment, you'll find the way to pinch 5 minutes here, 20 minutes there, until you've got a chunk of time to work with and get things done. And until you do that, you'll continue to not have time.
Yes, gotta love proxies.

Select an item in finder, press [alt-cmd-space] and type "email", [tab], then type the name of the person (QS searches your address book) and then hit enter to send off.

EDIT: Not very stable though...crashed it just now when trying to use the proxy select to append to file.
Perhaps snarky was not the right word - the article contains little/no sarcasm. I think myself and others are reacting to the general feeling of a largely negative criticism without any focus on good design done by engineers (or anyone).

Words like 'mad skillz' imply condescension towards some hypothetical group of developers. Words like 'self-serving', 'lack of', 'incompetence', etc are just negative - again targeting a straw-man group of developers.

Within your article there seems to be a paradigm of a) stuff that 'sucks', and b) the 'right' way (your way).

So, it leaves me thinking that you are targeting a negative generalization towards a group of developers. Effectively, you created an ad hominem argument against a straw-man. This comes off as negative, but more so it tells me as a reader that you spent energy evaluating the scenario from the standpoint of 'this is wrong', without fully understanding the point of view of your straw-man or pointing to examples of good design.

Instead of conveying 'these guys over here suck, they should do it my way' you could have conveyed 'these guys over here can suck, but when I have observed them doing x, y, z they definitely suck less' - same message without the ad hominem. Or, even better 'these guys over here are good at design vs average engineers because they do x, y, z' - same message with an emphasis on positive examples, not negative examples. That would convey that you have taken the energy to evaluate both the negative and the positive about the straw-man developer group you appear to be attacking.

As a general aside, I have been trying to understand why many smart / skilled people bias towards viewing others in a negative light - ie, does it have a benefit? I am generally interested to understand where this negatively comes from when skilled people evaluate their peers.

If you had the "old" coins, would you want to spend them in the "new" network where their value is much lower?
It looks like a nicely designed homepage that gets your point across well.

I clicked on the "Switch from Delicious?" button expecting to be able to authenticate with delicious and get going straight away. Instead I got a not terribly well presented list of reasons why I might choose to switch. At the very least there should be a clear call to action at the bottom of that list.

For sign-up is the CAPTCHA really necessary? If I understand your service correctly there is relatively little advantage to be gained by signing up multiple spam accounts and the presence of the CAPTCHA will reduce legitimate sign-ups.
there needs to be a culture of using assertions in order to produce the desired results.

IMO, proper "culture" is a significant part of almost all aspects of project management and no matter what, without it, the teams will never reach their optimum potentials, unless some highly motivated dev takes upon their shoulders to implement these base tenets for everyone else.

I'm not saying it's always easy to implement or it guarantees success, but that the lack of it always rears it's ugly head at some point in the development process.
IMQ is written in Erlang. I also know that a lot of the IMVU backend is built in Haskell. Makes me want to work there.

Why did they include studies that have already been replicated innumerable times? There's is no value in doing so apart from biasing the results toward an outcome more favourable for psychology.
Hi,

Nice one. Explains why many people love and use C.

since rails has so much convention, you can write a system that scales it as long as peopel follow that convention.

PHP is a free for all. Different frameworks do things differently and need to be scaled differently. Lots of people don't use frameworks. I think it will be hard to write a "one size fits all" infrastructure solution for PHP, like what Heroku did for Rails.
This is a very Senior House sort of thing to put up. :P
The side-by-side hover-loupe (under "In a word, resolutionary") is very very good at demonstrating the difference.

The loupe uses the image below. You can open them and verify that no cheating has been used. The 3GS image has 2*2 pixel blocks all over.
The images don't have subpixel antialiasing (as they have to be viewable on all kinds of monitors), so I expect them to look a tiny bit better IRL.

How about a portable MRI for starters? You could possibly use it a brain computer interface. You could also perhaps use transcranial magnetic stimulation to send data into your brain? (Just some wild thoughts).

On the more mundane side, you could use the diamagnetic effect of high magnetic fields to deflect water from windshields, keep snow off your driveway, give your tires traction on ice. You could even hover over water.

I'm sure there are lots of other applications I'm overlooking.
Product placement in articles.

The BP oil spill has made its CEO so flustered he needed a nice cool Coke-Cola(r) to relax, mind interview. Clearly only a Coke(r) would do, as the CEO is a man of sense, staying away from the slightly detergent taste of Pepsi. Smart man.
> The Venture Industrial Complex as I've heard some describe it makes you think that tech companies require outside capital and are either 10x or bust.

That's just what LPs expect of this asset class. If they need to allocate capital for illiquid equity with some cashflow kicked back and solid (but not spectacular) IRR a few years down the road, why not just invest in real estate?

Pebble ($99, plastic) and Pebble Steel ($199, newer and shinier but basically the same) are already available. The Kickstarter was for Pebble Time (will be $199) and Pebble Time Steel (will be $299), which have color interfaces but are compatible with all the old apps. They have also promised that the new interface will be ported back to the old Pebbles, but that hasn't shipped yet.
What really pisses me off (looking at you, Skype) is when adding text to a password makes it no longer valid. In other words, bvclkk27 passes validation, but bvclkk27skype doesn't.

So. Frustrating. The second is strictly a stronger password than the first.
Yeah, I think this is more because of Rockchip than because of Google. Rockchip manages to make a potent processor for very little, which is what is powering these. Google's volumes help as well but I would give more props to Rockchip

Atomic Browser has a private browsing mode and PIN protection, but not user switching. That probably means they could add user switching reasonably easily and be a direct competitor.

But they also add tabs, gestures and so on.

Most of the people in this thread who oppose the leaks appear to be American citizens. I feel that we Canadians have a right to know how US policy is affecting our country behind closed doors.
That wouldn't fly. The IO monad makes Haskell too conceptually impure to express well in the elegant functional language that is C++ template specialization.
I'm sensitive to this viewpoint. However let's say you are running a company. There are a huge number of situations where secrecy is necessary. Negotiations with an aquirer, pending layoffs, legal wrangling, customer pipeline, etc. If someone got a hold of this information and released it in an untimely way, they would be fired and possibly prosecuted. I'm completely in favor of honesty and transparency but it is unfortunately not always the best policy.
:() is a function that accepts no arguments, it calls itself (recursion) then pipes the output to another call to itself that is backgrounded, basically two calls to the function. That is the function definition, it is then called and backgrounded via :&

I wouldn't be so quick to say classify the evidence as supporting complexity emerging from simplicity without a governing intelligence; because we know so little about our universe and how it works. Our best scientists are still at work. But, there's orders of magnitude ample evidence of complexity emerging from simplicity with a governing intelligence. Everything, everything created by humans.

At 8 hours a day, that's $100/hr. Even for NYC, that's considered decent for a front-end developer.

Not sure what standard you're judging this against that $100/hr is ridiculous.
