I think the reason is that Tumblr is pretty hip and it's geared towards these streams of consciousness - type posts.

Most Tumblr blogs seem to consist of random photos posted, maybe a song, or a quote. It's content that is very easy to push out there but is different than Twitter.

If you compare it to Posterous, Posterous still feels too much like a regular blogging platform, so they seem to be targeting different markets.

Usually whenever a friend tells me that they want to start a blog, I suggest opting for a Tumblr account because they are going to be more likely to stick with it and post more often because of the nature of the content that works well with it.
By the way, while you are in line waiting, watch how often the TSA changes their gloves.

(The answer is they don't - the gloves are for the TSA protection, not yours - so imagine what kinds of lovely things they are going to be transferring from one person's groping region to another person's this traveling season...)
Yes, with standardized work-issued dosimeters, training, and strict obedience to policies, you will reduce false positives. They'll still happen, though. Some types of dosimeters will read positive if exposed to heat or sunlight. Some are sensitive to oils or dirt. One nuclear waste disposal facility had false positive rates around 5% per quarter (http://www.osti.gov/bridge/product.biblio.jsp?osti_id=515496). They eventually found the lights in their building to be a major cause.

Now take that information and extrapolate it to using dosimeters in every airport in the nation. Even if the TSA deployed dosimeters as competently as a nuclear waste disposal facility, they would still get so many false positives that the dosimeters would be useless.
Saint Augustine makes the argument that for God to exist, time must not.
This might just be why you're an entrepreneur: it's way better doing it than learning about it out of context ;)
I am aware of that; my understanding is that the sudden release from the grip of communism also released this brewing internal tension. I've been lucky enough to avoid getting caught up in any sort of revolution, violent or not, but pure black & white "us vs. them" rebellions seem to be rare these days. Any other kind of violent uprising tends to end with some kind of societal rift due to the former oppressors living among the formerly oppressed or having to cooperate in some way. Presumably, the more violent, the deeper the rift. I strongly suspect the original reason for the revolution to be irrelevant to that part of the outcome.
The feature I need most. From the IPhone app, I would like to be able to select a file and email the file to myself or someone else - not the link to the file.
Dropbox is blocked at work but sometimes I really need to get an important file from there.
I'm a paying susbcriber. Keep up the good work!
> It's interesting how strong peer pressure is in groups like vegans to continue to press someone in to a lifestyle that clearly is not to their best interest.

Given the levels of obesity in developed nations you could argue that just about everybody is being pressed 'in to a lifestyle that clearly is not to their best interest'.

> It reminds me of religious cults, and other 'us or them' styled groups.

I really don't think it is fair to generalise from a single blog post. It really feels like you are drawing on a collection of stereotypes about what you consider to be 'weird people' for this to have such an impact. Or do you have any other examples you can share with us?
from the Greek "isos": "equal", "morph": "shape". Do you have a better suggestion?

I don't see anyone complaining about the use of the word "function" instead of "subroutine".

text-based 3D SCAD which renders while you work.

You can define sub-components as a function, thus allowing multiple placements.
For everyone thinking of legitimate reasons to purchase this. Keep in mind that you would mostly buy this stuff at a smoke shop. You're not going to a smoke shop for baking supplies...
If you want a function to do that, you're absolutely at liberty to write one. You could even write a zero-overhead wrapper around the references to allow for overloading. Rust won't let you implement Add<&str> for &str though, you'd need to use your wrapper.

I wouldn't recommend doing that, though, and not just because of "surprise" allocations: in my experience writing Rust code, it's fairly rare to need to add strings together. I'm much more likely to use a format macro.
Seems Swaggerhub mostly deals with documentation, not SDK generation: https://swagger.io/tools/swaggerhub/features/
typing biometric software has been around for a long time (biorhythm) and from what I remember from years ago had issues with users typing in from different devices all the time, laptop to ext keyboard, iphone to ipad with keyboard, kiosk, etc... I don't think it would be more secure or as you put it "much more secure" than say, user/pass and a push notification as the push notification is out of band. These used to be called 1.5 factor as it wasn't quite 2 factor.
I've flagged 6. Oops. I didn't even know I could flag posts. Now I'm worried I ruined someone(s) day unintentionally.
It's not obvious to me from the blogpost where TLS termination happens in this scenario.

I would want it to happen on my local machine, so that (a) Cloudflare can't read my plaintext traffic, and (b) I can manage subdomain certificates more easily via Caddy.

Is that possible with the cheapo free tunnels or does Cloudflare want to handle the domain and TLS certificates, too?
> These price changes are exactly what the tax aims to achieve (e.g. lower energy use)

OK, come be poor in eastern Montana, with no public transit (hello, increased gas tax!), food that has to be trucked in (hello, increased gas tax!), long dark winters (goodbye, solar!), and cold winters (hello, increased propane tax!).

Just because a group is a minority doesn't mean it deserves to get screwed over. It's MLK Day here in America, so it surprises me that this even needs to be said anymore.
HR departments are a subclass of the same abstract base class as procurements departments. In both cases, the real job of the department is to reduce specifically-enumerated-company-cost X by Y%. All other responsibilities are window-dressing.

Any simple intervention that can be accomplished by HR that comes with a simple story about reducing salary costs is likely to become company policy.
So I was surprised at the sheer volumes of decisions that had to be made when I became a startup CEO. Most of them are completely mundane such as choosing which: bank, office space, 1-year lease vs. 2-year lease, logo, URL, pricing structure or which VC.

Those don't strike me as mundane decisions.
Almost all arguments on HN on this topic are ridiculously US-centric. As you can see from other comments, people wonder how the iphone can be "expensive" when it's "$199" vs "$179" for the Samsung Galaxy S.

HTC sent me a free Tattoo last year - 2.8" resistive screen, 340x240 resolution, slow processor etc. Any iPhone user (including myself - I kept on using my 1st gen iphone) would have snubbed this crummy phone, except there's hundreds of millions of people in the rest of the world who'll have phones like this as their first smartphone.
I've done the math, you get an explosion quite rapidly. In a matter of nanoseconds the reaction of air in contact with the surface of the anti-matter chunk will release enough energy to vaporize the anti-matter and transform it into a growing ball of hot gas/plasma thoroughly mixed with matter, annihilation of the anti-matter completes in a matter of micro-seconds after that. This is if the anti-matter is just sitting in the open air, if it comes into direct contact with solid matter the process would probably proceed faster.
If it is the "forcing others" part that bothers you I can reassure you: you don't force anyone to live by procreating. Simply, because there is no one you could force. Before you were born (or conceived for that matter) you did not exist. So your parents did not force you to anything. By the time you existed and could be asked you “choose to stay alive” because it is your “life after all”.
But you don't know what it is doing.
The problem with space - and the reason we have avoided militarizing it - is that it's difficult to stay out of other people's territory.

You wouldn't allow an anonymous N. Korean/ Chinese/ Russian/ Fredonian warship to wander around US waters unchallenged but you have to allow a satellite to pass overhead - thats orbital mechanics.

Now if you start doing things with your space plane, the other side decides it's going to have to defend itself by shotting down anything that passes over it's territory, and 20 minutes later you shoot down their stuff when it passes over your head.

Pretty soon nobody has any satellites. We realized this didn't really work on the high seas several hundred years ago and came up with the idea of laws and flags.
I was laid off once, and got a similar thing - a couple printed pages listing everybody's age and sex.

It's shitty, but I'm sure a company as big as IBM will make sure they're ass is covered.
Didn't they try that in Sealand?

Apparently it didn't work all that well.
Would you tell us more on how you are going to bootstrap the company? I mean, with no VC money involved, are you investing yourself in the EC2 instances/space that you need in advance? Do you have a day job?

Good luck!
It's not that bad, really. As with most languages, syntax is the easy part.

From personal experience:

- You're comfortable with Erlang syntax within half a day. There's just so much less of it

- You're comfortable with Elixir syntax within a day of two of active coding. Function captures may trip you up once or twice more, but then it's fine.
> On the topic of Ritalin and Adderall, lots of my friends found they had to increase their dosage to see consistent effects.

They are not addictive at normal doses but there can be tolerance depending on your diet. This is actually pretty easy to treat - get a lot more magnesium and try NAC as well. (Vyvanse's effectiveness actually seriously depends on how acidic your diet is. If you take a dose with orange juice it may be completely inactivated.)

> Some talk about abusing alcohol to get to sleep.

Sleep issues (delayed sleep phase disorder) are themselves an ADHD symptom. If you time it right so the stimulant wears off at bedtime this can actually help you - but if it wears off early, I don't have the willpower left to go to bed.
> How good are his coding skills? Well not really, you will know that they can do interview tasks - e.g. a small bite sized problems that have easy solutions. Long term planing, refactoring, perseverance, etc. - no signal there.

Not many people are able to do a 3 month interview so their long term skills can be observed. Part of a good interview process is coming to a decision without using a lot of the candidate's time. They're busy people, and if they don't get an offer, or don't like the offer, it's time they could have spent doing something productive or fun.

I've worked with people who couldn't actually demonstrate the skills I'm looking for in my coding exercise: listen to a problen description, ask clarifying questions, and discuss a solution; write down what the output should look like given an example input; write code that does what you discussed. I don't want to work with people who can't do at least those things.

Yes, writing code on a whiteboard isn't how most code is written. Yes, most problems aren't neatly packaged things that fit all that into 40 minutes. Yes, it can be stressful, which is unfortunate.
> It hasn't been implemented because it is nonsensical.

If that's the case then why hasn't it been responded to? Is responding also nonsensical?
There’s over 1 billion iOS devices out there; not having an Android version isn't a limiting factor.

I’m aware of lots of Android users who have bought used iPhones or are using their kid’s iPod Touch to access Clubhouse.
Hi HN,

I have created a list of TLD's named after Subreddits. The List contains more than 2500 + .com domains.

A Subreddit Named Domains is interesting because you already have a niche that is validated. Check the column against the subscriber number in the Google Sheets. You can also generate content ideas from the subreddit.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks
Having a Google Meet tab open still fries even the most powerful MBP 16". The fans become so loud the noise cancelling starts failing for the microphone...
Key shaped is not a bad term, probably moot, but it doesn't quite have the aspect-ratio I was thinking of - of course it also doesn't have the word "broken" in it either...
Neither Parler (nor Gab) defended the views they hated. If you've seen the front page of either you can't argue in good faith that they did. In fact, they banned dissenters.

By this standard Chomsky would argue Parler "prefers Stalinist standards." Do you believe they do?
It wasn't until the 1960's through 1970's, the car-ownership prompted massive shifts from cities to suburbs.

Many baby boomers and those who preceded them (the "Ward Cleever" generation), can still remember the concept of having a main street. Even suburbs back then had central business districts and these are now known as "streetcar suburbs" or "inner-ring suburbs".

This way-of-life where everything so spread out so much that it necessitates driving for every little trip is a relatively new phenomena.
All true, but don't underestimate the impact of the FLQ/PQ crisis. Several hundred thousand people moved from Montreal in the 90s, and immigration and money shifted to Toronto and Vancouver. Montreal was a renters market for 2 decades as a result, and Toronto experienced a boom that hasn't stopped since.
I agree with the premise - not the content.

My recent co-founders and I applied for YC this summer. While we did not make the initial cut, we did not move forward with applying to other incubators. The reasoning:

- YC provided experience not only from their own start-up success but also from an incubator (though they're really not an incubator) standpoint. Major reason to apply.

- None of the others we found provided something truly special.

Incubators need to find ways to differentiate. If they want to entice the best applications, it is important they offer something of interest outside of office space, some cash and a widely attended demo day.

I'm ready for another program worth applying to, and I do not want it to look anything like YC.
An article is a hit piece if it lies or distorts the truth. Can you point out where the New York Times did this for this article?
I don't know about Rovio, but when was Google languishing in mediocrity (honest question)?
sometime in the 22nd century the USA will pass the 10 percent mark for it's population in jail

Most of the rise in prison population is down to the US government's war on drugs, as crime rates in general have been falling for some time now. However, there are global signs that drug laws are starting to be relaxed, so prison populations in a generation's time may be much smaller than they are today.

I mean I love the ideas but it's complete fantasy. The earth is going to be a pile of people trying to climb over each other economically, only to feed the ultra-weathly on top.

Your version of the future sounds just as much a fantasy, just in the other direction.

I find it odd that people tend to fixate upon dystopian futures, when all trends point toward the opposite direction. Crime has been steadily decreasing, people are becoming more tolerant of others, most people are wealthier, less people are dying of disease and war, environmental damage is starting to be reversed by first world economies, more renewable energy sources are being used, etc., etc.

I guess in some respects its good that people tend to fixate on the negatives, as otherwise nothing would ever be fixed.
The data explorer on their site (http://cablegate.wikileaks.org/) is interesting but I really wanted to search for specifics instead of browsing by category, so I quickly hacked this fulltext index together.
> In the future we might try doing some text classification to predict which applications will be good.

In theory, that sounds a bit dangerous. If there was a good model for predicting "success" from application text, then (a) the application can be gamed, and (b) you'd probably be picking up "hot" areas that reflect the business environment at the time more than the founders. YC seems to be more about humans, which makes a strong case for using only human judgement.
Actually, there is fragmentation: pip does not supersedes easy_install, since easy_install does things that pip cannot do (like installing from something that is not a source tarball). Also, distribute being a fork of setuptools, with neither distribute/setuptools being a superset of each other, means more fragmentation as well.

Also, the affirmation that everything install fine whether you use setuptools/distribute/distutils is simply not true. We get almost daily bug reports/user complaints in numpy/scipy because of installation issues mostly caused by distutils, or people using pip/easy_install (which does not work with numpy distutils extensions). The situation is confusing for a lot of users, especially the ones who are not super familiar with python.
Advertising works best where the marginal cost of delivering the impression is near-zero (i.e., TV, radio, newspaper, magazine, internet search, Facebook newsfeed, etc).
Xi seems to be more liked than Hu Jintao, I'll give him that.

But his support comes from things he promised to deliver, primarily curtailing corruption, among a plethora of other things. If he fails to deliver his promises, people are going to slowly change their opinions.
You stated:
"There is an inherent moral flaw in having exclusive licensing over life saving technology."

I simply asked you to consider for the sake of argument that more lives may be saved under an exclusive licensing framework. How is that an "inherent moral flaw"? It certainly isn't "inherently fallacious".

Neither one of us has numbers that statistically validate things in either direction - but I'm not closing my mind off to reasonable possibilities.
I do the same thing and usually end up trying to solve a problem using WordPress which is probably cringe-worthy to a lot of people. Most of the things I come up with are basically content-publishing so it works really well for hacking around and making something fun.

My latest creation is a instagram-style feed of the beers a few friends of mine have been enjoying recently.

It works just fine and none of my non-technical friends have cared that they add beers in their mobile browser rather than via an app or something.
This post also discusses ide-backend-client[1], a JSON gateway intended for use by editor integrations. A video demonstrating its use via an Emacs mode[2] is linked in the post.

I may have a go at an "ide-backend-msgpack", as an excuse to dig into NeoVim's msgpack-rpc support[3]. Given the close relation between msgpack and JSON, perhaps it's best to simply extend ide-backend-client with msgpack support.

Except that in that one case, at least in the US, only the income inside the new tax bracket is taxed at the higher rate. The tax brackets are actually something they have right (I'm not saying I agree with the tax rates, only that earning a dollar more in income will never cost you a dollar or more in tax).
Exactly. They may be hardware makers, but they aren't hardware companies. IBM sells services, so it's just an inversion of the usual free customer service when you buy a product. Open sourcing some servers just lowers costs for Facebook and keeps some engineers happy.
Okay, follow-up question.

Can you hand-code an HTML form, trap the form's submission and perform some JS validation, POST the data to a server-side script of some kind, un-bundle the submitted fields and then echo them in the server-side response back to the client? This is an ancient thing called CGI. It's a good starting point, and of course it's very dangerous to do all that literally.

I see so many people get excited about frameworks, but you need to start as a bricklayer, then work up to architect and city planner.

Start at the lowest level you can imagine. Standard input / standard output. Tail the Apache log. Learn the difference between HTTP GET and POST. Use LiveHTTPHeaders and look at the HTTP traffic. Don't reach for the shiny framework until you get messy with the dirty bits. Muck around and have fun.
FWIW if you search around, you can get a sleep study for under $1000, at least in my area (outside Philadelphia, PA).

True, the hospitals rip you off by charging $3000 or more; but there are privately-run places that will charge less.
Jesus. An almost completely uninformed article.
> They also tend to be the better programmers.

Meh, people have different experience. Yours might be like that because you _are_ in that position.

In my experience, most of these people tend to write quick hacky solutions numerous times. Get a pat in the back. And quickly run away when the said hacky solutions start to smell really bad.

These people do get away with the title "Awesome Excellent Programmer" and tend to continue leaving bad code trails. Unfortunately nobody bad mouth companies for having bad code because it's internal.
Dave Jones has been fuzzing Linux system calls recently; here's one LWN article about the topic: http://lwn.net/Articles/414273/ . There are also some posts about more bugs he's discovered this way on his blog.
OOOhhh blender recursion!!
And I only half-agree that version control isn't important in writing. Certainly in (collaborative) non-fiction (e.g. science papers), most of the same merging, cutting, reinstating and backtracking that helps with programming would be of huge value to authors.

I can think of dozens of smart non-programmers who I think would relish a friendly Git for writers - it would, of course, have to be called Writ...
Microsoft is huge on backwards-compatibility. Unix guys don't mind breaking a few eggs when they release a new kernel because anything that breaks can be patched up to work again - but when you're running boatloads of proprietary software that has to keep working, break-and-fix isn't really a viable model any more.
That's pretty much it. If you love docker/devops, then this is the kind of thing that makes you happy, and definitely makes all the people that find it happy (unfortunately, you're probably just not seeing/aware of all the people that find your products and think "wow, someone awesome must have made this").

If you like docker, then you can also contribute to it, extend it, all that stuff.

Personally I like to keep a notebook of ideas I have, and then find time to go through them all and implement them. That is keeping me more busy than I could ever imagine (or finish)
Here's the deal, if you're setting up a charity request you should give me a one time payment option in addition to the monthly options. I would have given something if there were such an option.

It'll see another bump when 330 million cheques for $600 (or $2000) go out to all American's soon. A lot of people will have some extra money to invest. Look for bump in TSLA then too, a favourite of RH investors.
