Mumble (http://mumble.sourceforge.net/) uses CELT, and it's amazing - when I first started using it, I was a little unsettled, because I could hear inflections and intonations in others' voices that I didn't realize were being stripped out by Speex.

CELT is an amazing product, and Mumble has built an amazing product on top of it. I'm pushing very hard to try to help Mumble topple Ventrilo/Skype, at least for gamers. I'm really excited to see how CELT has grown and changed over the last couple of years, and it's just getting better.

(Full disclosure: I run a Mumble hosting service. But that's mostly because I love the product so much.)
See. My previous comment above. I do wonder sometimes if Graham's presence on the board gives WashPo less visible benefits as well.
What percent of ms profits do those make?

That's what I thought.
first i thought, thank god somebody is doing this.
but a second later: it´s not clear who the companies are he´s suing. i don´t think he sues the guys behind the big botnets which cause most spam.

so perhaps some startups are sued because for some reason they sent emails to the wrong person.

i´m not sure whether this is good or bad...
Some posts here talk about living in a foreign country for some time while doing a startup. That is different from travelling around the world. It's not the same spending 2 or three months in the same place than spending just 1 or 2 days in a place and then continue travelling. In the latter assumption, I don't see it viable.
For some? If they invest heavily enough in this, possibly a career.
Start-up idea: legal service/password manager combination.
If you're worried about reliability, why would you use a brand new blogging platform to begin with?
The DMCA was 1998. Wasn't that around the same time that Microsoft was getting hammered by the DOJ?

My impression is that the general consensus has that being about the time that Microsoft learned its lesson about ignoring lobbying. Maybe Oracle had something to do with it, but it seems like Microsoft probably missed that particular ship.
Honestly, I'd rather have EV under 2 tonnes than 2,000km range...
I've been aware of that while reading this site for years as "waged regular labor." I don't think the perspective is the same at all. The audience isn't the startup focused audience it once was in 2011, but has broadened quite a bit.
I absolutely agree with you as well as disagree with you. There is market, few older players like platform.sh has been serving them. If you analyse their customer base, it is mostly agencies. The market is very very small, super saturated and competitive.
A few months ago I had thought about this topic, what I had in mind was some sort of protocol for Messaging which Messaging Apps could agree to adhere, thus making interoperability possible.

As the article says, that’s not a trivial problem, nor do these apps have the incentive to adhere to such solution unless they are a new player.
In some places the arresting cop is legally given a percentage of the money
If you want more theory, I recently stumbled across some great lecture materials [1] for a course on coalgebra, which is a category-theoretic way of modeling state-based systems, as well as familiar computer science concepts like (co)data types and (co)induction.

Legal: it's not forbid. To be illegal, there must be a law forbidding it.

Unegulated: no one tells how it should be done. "To regulate something" means that the gorv prescribes how some aspect of the activity must be done.

If we have infinite possibilities, the norm is to be legal and unregulated.
People have different style and preferences. I have programmed for over 30 years and I find that REPL based development in Julia beats anything else I have tried in term of productivity, and I have tried a ton of tools, IDEs and languages.

But sure it may not fit your particular preference or it may be that you have simply not learned to use it effectively. It takes some time to work effectively in a REPL style. It took me some years.

Not every language is suited for REPL development. Julia, LISP and Haskell seem quite well suited.

I don’t have quite the same good experience with Python e.g.
With wine, lots of people claim to be able to taste the difference between an expensive wine and a cheap one, but as soon as you did a double-blind test, they couldn't tell them apart.

I would be extremely curious to see if the civet coffee was still there if there was double-blind taste test.

And sure enough, someone has done it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDXWgVr_z30

The civet coffee doesn't even come in second place out of 5. Obviously not scientific.
I'm curious on some thoughts regarding how this compares with Firefox for Android. I'm a happy user of it. Firefox Sync is particularly nice as it allows me to sync my tabs between the desktop and my phone. I feel like syncing through Mozilla is a distinct advantage than going through Google for privacy reasons.

Taking this into account, are there any advantages of Bromite? Why would someone prefer it over Firefox?
If you have a rebuttal, let's see it. Mockery is childish.
among other things it's just not a very friendly syntax for the common case of formatting strings and getting input. printf/scanf are much less verbose (if a bit less safe).
> How often does that happen to you?

Even if it happens only once, it may be a really sad event. I had a "go-to" youtube video (nothing relevant in the grand scheme of things, just a beautiful rendition of a famous neapolitan song in the original language, not in italian). I listened very often because it cheered me up. Now it's gone for good and I'm sure I won't ever be able to listen to it. It was not a record, just a lady singing in a public place, obviously recorded with a phone.
Looks like it's preparing: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/210
Hold your breath for 3 minutes. This should be doable, with sufficient willpower. Freedivers can go much much longer. You didn't succeed?

Shame on you and your lack of willpower!

Biological urges are powerful, don't be so quick to judge.
> You don't need to fight your appetite, you can serve it and still loose weight.

I've lost over 150lbs and kept most of it off for the better part of a decade, so I will tell you from experience that you are full of shit.
I wouldn't be surprised if their internal infrastructure uses the domain to talk between its services and is now blowing up all over the place too.
yeah, the original example is showing the unwieldy version of the syntax.
What protocols are you thinking of that don't work over ipv6? Everything from ftp to gopher to ssh works fine.

Every IPv4 address created has been assigned. There have been at least two rounds of clawbacks. The current mode of operation is to buy blocks from Ethiopia, since they're IPv6-first. There's really no need for a new internet connection to be assigned an IPv4 address.
> But if I start sending everyone small but different snippets of the article, as per their search term so they don't have to visit the website

That's not what this law is about. Google isn't summarizing titles, and they offered to remove snippets. The Australian government turned them down.

If the only objection here was "Google is showing different snippet summaries to lots of different people", then we wouldn't be having this debate. How has Google abused copyright here?

It feels like part of the argument here is that newspapers should be able to own facts -- that if people can look at a Google search page, see a title, and roughly know whether or not they want to click on the article, that's some kind of violation. But what does that have to do with copyright?

This is an analogy that would make Cory Doctorow sad.
That's like telling a depressed person they shouldn't be depressed.
It's important to try to understand why your users are using your product and see if that matches your expectations - If it doesn't then you're doing something wrong and it needs to change.
I used to wonder why people would often use a natural gas main as a locking point. Now I realize that it provides a decent defence against angle grinder attacks (or at least gets any thief some public safety or trumped-up terrorism charge).
It's not a gif, he's just got ~96 images or so all of each hour in 15 minute intervals and then it loads the appropriate one for the appropriate time.

I wrote up a small demo here(http://jsfiddle.net/5uG2u/2/show/) so you can change the time and see the various mapped layouts of the data.
Nutrimatic is a neat tool (based on the trie datastructure) that can help you find words or phrases things like this - the query i?t?s?a?p?l?e?a?s?u?r?e?t?o?s?e?r?v?e?y?o?u?&.{10,} finds subsequences of at least length 10: https://nutrimatic.org/?q=i%3Ft%3Fs%3Fa%3Fp%3Fl%3Fe%3Fa%3Fs%...

Since it uses Wikipedia as the text source and orders by frequency, the results tend to be more realistic phrases than you might find doing smashing words from a word list together.
That's precisely the main innovation of Bitcoin. Without the aid of a central authority, people are able to decide on a set of rules that must be respected to play in the market. People can switch to different "markets" with different rules at will.

The value of these markets is itself decided through a free market.

Given a sufficient level of digitization, it's not hard to imagine how many kind of real world markets could be backed by Bitcoin-like systems.
Spain is one of my favorite jazz tunes: https://youtu.be/sEhQTjgoTdU
yes, but 99% is possible.
Spotify can't keep up with my musical tastes, just repeat what I play.
What I am struggling to understand is why is it a good idea to to ip inside ip.

Giving containers their own nic, and IP isn't hard, and in most cases is >> faster than spending time using some immature tunnelling protocol.

I can see that doing multi-cloud deploys with transparent failover might benefit from a VPN, but short of operating on a hostile network I can't see its worth the heartache to deploy an overlay network.
I read years ago (on here I think..) the average programmer switches careers after 10 years. If you make it past that, you're probably in it for the long haul...

One thing I think a lot of us forget is how _lucky_ we are to be working on interesting projects/tech. I started my career as a maintenance coder and if I had continued doing that, I never would have lasted this long...

And yes, though not as often as I used to, I still have times when I have to scratch a particular itch for 24 hours straight or I have to jump out of the shower to test something that just popped in my head :-)
It may be useful to note that the US government transferred control of DNS to ICANN in September 2016. I searched HN, and this seems to be the biggest thread from back then: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12612033

At the time, consensus in the media seemed to be that this would have little effect. However, the debate was quite politicized, as the transfer to ICANN occurred towards the end of the Obama administration, with fruitless opposition from high-profile Republicans.
I don’t use keybase but I’m pretty sure it’s a central location. If it is, and yits manual it will work in theory, but in practice only crypto nerds will verify manually so the entire thing would need to be automated.
Isn't the whole point of these forms arbitrage?

There is lots of data that shows that active managers don't do better than the market.
The question is if there is a hardware based decoder supporting this. With a software decoder it will play just fine but it will consume a lot of resources, eventually draining the battery.
That's a really good question; I'd pay good money for developer focused communications training. Some practical ideas;

1. try to engage at work with more activities, you'd be surprised what activities you can help out with, or maybe arrange.

2. never pass up a customer focused activity, volunteer and push to be involved.

3. ask a sales or business guy at your company to be a mentor.

4. talk to random people beyond small talk (parties?).

5. read books (mileage varies).

Something like "toastmasters" for coders would be so cool.
It's a terrible shame that objectivity and knowledge are what society has decided to suppress instead of harmful use of knowledge.
I had the same reaction, coming from the perspective of an adult doing paying work. If your engineers can't use a language called Coq without creating a hostile environment, you have a much bigger problem with how they behave around people named Wang, Dong, Mount, or Kuntz. You urgently need to fix that problem.

But, on reading the discussion page, I realized I forgot about kids and students, especially women, and in that context, even though changing the name is obviously not the best or most important way to solve the problem, it could be a great mitigation and is worth doing.
That distinction doesn’t matter for the GDPR. Publicly available information can be personal data, even if the entire world knows about it.
> Man sometimes I think people forget phone books existed for a long time.

If the notion were introduced today, nobody would tolerate them. That they once existed is hardly an argument that such things are a good idea.
>Sure, have all your money taken without a say to be given crap, rationed care, or most likely die waiting in line.

Talk about strawman. By any objective measure the US healthcare system is the worst in the developed world.
> People may not realise it consciously, but when they move out of the city, what they are looking for is a place with not as much cars driving around.

Nope, for me it's definitely getting away from the wrong sorts of people.
Original English version in my observation as a non-native speaker uses very simple and straightforward, relying on absurdity of situation and wordplay instead of beautiful language. You should be fine.
Yeah, I thought of that after I wrote it. Send it to all the university accounts you can get your hand on, see who you catch. It's probably just personal preference showing through as well, as I wouldn't be comfortable paying with my phone. I also have no idea how people substitute their PC with an iPad or phone. Much harder to fill out a page of fields and navigate around, and I'm sure that Google Pay won't support $15,000 payments.
Neither Fiorina nor Whitman is an entrepreneur, however.
There's a difference between cheap plastic and durable plastic though. There are tons of different plastic grades. I usually think of the phrase "cheap plastic" referring to, y'know, cheap plastic.
Plenty of countries are natural resource rich and do not run into major issues.

Canada, the US, Australia, and yes - Norway, all come to mind. Usually, the factor that enables a country to resist corruption from natural resources comes from having a proper governance system already in place.

Even something that many perceive as trivial, like tax collection, is essential. Because what often happens is, a nation will not collect taxes and instead say they will let the riches from natural resources trickle down to the citizenry. This enables dictatorships/political elites to remain entrenched at their expense.

You also need government agencies in place to make sure that surveys are being conducted properly so that the auction process can be optimized.

I remember a story about an African nation that needed to auction off mining rights. Their data was well over 100 years old, whereas some MNC mining companies had state of the art testing, as a result there was asymmetrical information that worked against their government.

One way to circumvent that lack of information is to auction permits in a rolling manner. So you auction off the ability to only mine in one small area. Then, if there is a discovery, you can raise initial prices for future permits in the surrounding area.
Yes, e.g. each core sees 4 virtual SATA drives; the box itself can house 64 real drives in the front.
Seems to be going great for Norway.
It always makes me happy that Smoot ended up being the ISO president.
Your demographic is showing.

Some of us became interested in Afghanistan back in '79, when the Soviets invaded, and President Carter (remember him?) re-instated draft registration. Seemed pretty important at the time, but seems to be forgotten now...
Yep, Mixergy has interviewed Victora: http://mixergy.com/victoria-ransom-wildfire-interview/
Well its such a late stage investment at a very high valuation. Either they did it for the portfolio logo, or they just want to make a safer investment that will cap out at 2x or 3x at best.
Thank God i have the sister younger than me that love me very much :D
I couldn't really work out if this was a parody or a cry for help. If it's not the former, I think it's pretty desperately sad.
> The independent artists really need to get together and build their own service with the terms they need so they don't have to keep fighting Google, Spotify, etc.

Isn't that what Bandcamp is? And SoundCloud, and probably gazillion other similar services?
hardwaresofton thanks a lot for your feedback!

previously the textarea had a border, like this:

http://cl.ly/Z7ZV

but, I think it's very ugly, maybe I will find some better option ...

thanks for the "joyride" link is very nice, but I don't have a register of new and old user, and the joyride only be useful for new users.

I will try to think in a better way to describe the functionality/workflow, maybe a better description in the example text or a tour button. I agree with you that a first glance is not very intuitive.

thanks again for your feedback is very useful ;)
I'm guessing that this is quite rare. Even then, ensuring the founder is financially secure may avert an early exit scenario.
when your error handler can also fail
I am in your boat. I've been in the interview circus for 6 months. I'm quitting, I'm going to start something.

I still have the luxury to do so. So I should take my chances because industry sure isn't taking one on me.
It's easy to critique a paper but hard to pinpoint its value in the broader context of a field.
Dunno. Maybe if you also pushed the passenger side seat forward enough?
> "People here say there’s no such thing as bad weather," said Ms. Gulsrud, 39. "Only bad clothing."

That's true for anything outdoor in winter that involves physical exertion. Bicycling, running, cross-country skiing, whatever. Cotton and down can kill you. Because they tend to get soaked with sweat, and then lose insulating capacity.

So you want silk, wool or polypro fleece, and Goretex.
I'd say, because you aren't stretching yourself and growing.
I have Quicktime and I can't see it - OS X 10.6, Chrome.
Actually, I'd skip the super-loose socks and go for a pair of compression stockings instead (and some aspirin before I go), with slightly loose, thick woollen socks on the outside for warmth and comfort. Feet get cold, and deep vein thrombosis is a risk on long flights.

Why compression stockings? They reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis during air travel. Here's a link to a Cochrane review for those curious: http://www2.cochrane.org/reviews/en/ab004002.html
You say "po-TAY-to", I say "po-TAH-to".

You say "to-MAY-to", I say "no thank you".

You say "supersititious distrust of Javascript", I say "a day job finding, breaking, and fixing the horrible things people try to get away with doing in Javascript". (Or, less charitably: "knowing how Javascript works in browsers.")

Trust me on this one. It's a cool little hack. It's even useful if you get rid of the vanity crypto. But you are asking for someone to write a really mean blog post about you and your actual understanding of how crypto works. That's drama you don't need. Don't bother with the AES stuff.
Intermediate servers don't require an account.
Do you at least remember the day back then when you lost your adventuresomeness?

You could have easily made the point without being snarky and insulting.
I think it's hard to top VW in this department :)

So before every Rails release DHH should conduct a public poll? And what level of abstraction it should be? "Which JS framework should be made default" or "Should we have a default JS framework"? As you can see, it quickly becomes a mess. Opinions bring sanity.
We have this wonderful technology called "computers". It allows us to replicate information with a marginal cost approaching zero, and yet we continue to handicap its potential so that it could resemble the printing press of the 16th century.
Doh, forgot that I compiled it into my home directory. My bad.
Kodos hasn't seen a release since 2006
You hit the nail on the head here. This is what a crypotographer might want these systems to be.

If you look at the actual motivations of the Central Banks in making Cbdcs, it's doubtful they will need anything more technoligically complex than what credit card companies already have.

I doubt it will be a block chain. I doubt it will deal with private/public keys as a main means of authentication.
The way so many new to this industry, or never able to measure up, ooze over FAANG just shows how uninspired, unskilled, unoriginal and sheeplike they actually are. Anyone with actual chops can stand by their convictions for a better world. Few do, which keeps these companies sucking the lifeblood out of the universe. But yeah, keep thinking it's just an entitled opinion. Just like climate change. Just like any change...
Oh, i like the digest idea! I would like to only get the interesting things from my friends and not the filler content that is put on feeds.
Fine, don't use common sense. My parents and my parents in law were against breast feeding. I mean literally against breast feeding. Why? Because psychologically it was impossible for them to even think that they might not have done the very best for their kids. You are probably caught in the same trap. And as the evidence comes in for sleep training or separating from your child at night, as it did for artificial milk, you will probably adopt the same psychological defence.
But at the end of the day, these things are not going to hurt the average child. But we should have guidelines that improve the average outcome for the average child. And anything that deviates from what we have adapted to over millions of years is likely to be a bad idea.
I'm not the one who asked the question but am in the same position. All third-party content is off, I'm using a long-term container for stuff where I need to be logged, and temporary containers and no first-party cookies for everything else. I do have some bugs with the interaction of both so I'm happy if I can have the same think with stock Firefox
It was "an overnight success" after practising for 15 years. :)
bots would have bought the cards if they had better cards
They might not be sincere but part of me is becoming tempted to start defending The F-35 just to get a rise out of people like you.
Video capturing app with filters and some social media components. They also had fantastic video stabilization. I'm guessing they're what's powering Instagram's video functionality.
I agree that he did a great job, but consider the power of circumstances: it's a lot easier to pitch when pitching is an intellectual exercise for you, instead of the full expression of what you are and hope to be in this world as a person, delivered to the gatekeeper of the capital you need to make that journey, who will not give you a second chance if you fuck up, and without whom you're destined to go back to living in your mother's basement, a broken and destitute man shunned by society. Or back to Yahoo or Stanford or wherever you came from.
One thing that really blew me away was my brother talking about his time working in Western Australia, and when he was in a bar bathroom there an Aborigine came in, didn't know what to do, so took a shit in the corner of the room.

When you're not used to something, your actions will seem strange, but toilet training a kid isn't easy, so what seems natural to us now, really wasn't too natural at one time.
