Ah yeah I wasn't paying close attention but re-reading the Perl bits it makes sense now haha
It's like a battle between 2 humans and the ants are on one side. Retail traders may have started this, but they certainly didn't make up most of the shares holding. This is why the short squeeze is unlikely.
Biggest scam in history is religion
This situation is literally outlined in the article and GME decided against doing that.

The article really isn't very long, I suggest reading it!
They can still capitalize on that. Their stock price is now more stable and is x4 than what it was a couple of months back.
> Would the SEC have even allowed them to issue shares?

From the article:

“Other companies in the midst of the Reddit frenzy whose financial quarters finished at the end of December and had already updated investors on their latest financial performance, were able to sell stock when their shares rallied at the end of January.”

Hertz was a bankrupt company. Their shares were legally worthless. And they didn’t have a shelf offering already authorised. Different facts and circumstances.
"The European languages are similar and thus make it easy to borrow [etc]".

As similar as, oh, Serbian and Swedish?
I disabled the extension, but pdf's just download... I have 6.0.437.1, which should be the dev channel version. Windows.

Ideas?
I've seen this page before but actually thought it to be fairly basic. What about topics such as moving wp-config.php outside of public_html, renaming the wp-admin folder, and automattic's position on some of the various 3rd-party security plugins?

One thing I don't understand, is why I can't access the admin over SSL if the Wordpress domain isn't the Apache SSL domain? For example, I can't go to https://example.com/domains/mydomain.com/wp-admin/ without getting a failed redirect. This is a major annoyance, as I can't set up another SSL site on the server without leasing another IP.
I personally use the two week rule. If someone says they'll get back to me in a few days I give them a couple weeks before I e-mail a reminder.

Oh, right. I forgot that in the business world, words suddenly don't have any fucking meaning whatsoever. You can bet your ass that if a corporation wanted something from you (i.e., payment) in a few days, they wouldn't leisurely wait a few weeks before e-mailing you.

There seems to be this unspoken rule in the Apple world that if you happen to get an e-mail from Steve Jobs, even if he threatens to dig up your dead mother and defile her corpse, you'd better drop down on your knees and thank him for even speaking to you.

Fuck that.
OK. Easy enough: email spoofing + ip spoofing.
Apple would do well to drop the $99/year dev tax as well (I'd consider paying to be in their market, but paying to just developer for my own hardware seems off).
Thanks Verseda,

If I did take this on as a side project I would have no interest in making popular or having other developers use it. It would be for my internal projects.

There are a number of other things I would do to make the language more explicit. I'm a Python guy not a Ruby guy.
> The reason Lisp programmers don't have a fancy IDE is that they don't feel the need for it. Everyone that really understands what he's doing is using Emacs or their own thing.

Actually, I think that Emacs+Slime for CL is one of the fanciest IDEs around.

However, it's also been my (anecdotal) experience that many C++/Java-programming Emacs users have no idea what kind of stuff these fancy IDEs do, the same way most of those IDE users don't have any understanding of the kind of text editing Emacs is capable of.
The difference between Twitter and MySpace is that MySpace was a colossal piece of shit. It was ugly, poorly built, and most importantly, lacked the timeline feature that best illustrates what a social networking site is supposed to do -- keep you informed on what your friends are doing.

Twitter is already boiled down to its essence.
The spirit of his question stands: Why not ask for a database dump from Google?
I have a hard time getting excited about a currency when the main reasons given for it's existence are for online gambling and Wikileak donations. I would be excited about a dollar alternative that allowed the common person to protect themselves from the inflationary rot that the US Congress is hell-bent on subjecting us to.
The issue with LLC ownership is that it becomes much harder to kick out someone later on [or to transfer ownership interests], especially if you are onboarding some unsavory characters.

As far as ownership is concerned, with an LLC the payments do not have to be proportional to the ownership percentage. This is one way in which the LLC differs from the S-corp, because the S-corp requires that payouts are proportional to ownership stake. Hence, a small ownership stake in an LLC can mean diddly squat.
I'm not exaggerating here for the sake of the argument but I really don't find derogatory comments toward women in my daily routine reading. I read HN, reddit, tech magazines, blogs, regular newspapers (many local) and most of them have little to none censoring and people say harsh things towards other persons (stars, VIPs, judges, lawyers, cops, politicians for example). I admit I don't read magazines and blogs targeted at women other than by hazard.
WPF font rendering was fixed in .NET 4 back in 2010.

IE10+ on Windows 8+, Office 2013+ on Windows 8+ and the Modern/Metro/Immersive environment on Windows 8+, on the other hand, are doomed to have poor font rendering thanks to their use of the Direct Manipulation APIs: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2015/01/29/10589...

I doubt this will be fixed - the world is slowly moving towards high DPI screens where subpixel font smoothing isn't as important. For existing hardware, though, it stinks.
It's not only that, it's also that if you have two languages in your codebase you now need two ways to deploy, two types of application servers, two types of testing frameworks/QA setups etc. If having the two languages means you can create a product only marginally faster/better then it is not worth all of that overhead. As mentioned in the article, there are places where the cost becomes worth it, for instance faceted searching is done in Java via Solr at Etsy. But for the most part fitting your problem into the existing infrastructure is a lot better for the organization than bringing in the perfect technology.
The drill example is a good one. I'm currently building a pergola. It's nearly complete, but I need to cut a few more pieces from 4x4s at a 45 degree angle. Somehow I did a decent job of this already on a few pieces with my handheld circular saw, but it's just not the right tool for the job. I screwed up a few times trying last night. What I really need is a chopsaw that will cut @ 45 degrees perfectly well.

I could go buy a chopsaw. I will probably keep using it on occasion. But it's another $200 or so and - I'd rather just borrow one from a friend. But I don't really know who of my friends has a chopsaw I can borrow, I don't want to invest the time to figure that out and then go and get it, and tool rental is ridiculously expensive, and it doesn't generally deliver without even more ridiculous expense.

I also need a nail gun, and the good ones are all air powered, which means I need a compressor, too. Again, I could go rent this stuff, but I want it delivered, and I don't want to pay a price that is pretty close to what it would cost to just buy the tool!

I have several power tools I rarely use. If I could sign up for a service that would let me loan my tools out and borrow tools from others that also join the service, and if the tool sharing service delivered and picked up tools from my home and I requested what I want and made known what I have via an app, I'd sign up right away.

I think it could be done with little cost to the end user.

So - Uber for everything - yes - and Uber for powertools - give it to me now!
Fanvibe's backend is hosted on Heroku. We have 10 processes pulling in real-time sport stats every 1.25 seconds each. Our product has also been adopted by the NBA (yes, the national basketball association) and we power all of their apps across all mobile and web. In a nutshell, we're serving tons of users, and have huge peak times during the evenings when there's tons of games, and everything works great.

We have stats, an API, web / mobile destinations, and a boatload of users.
There is a BBC show called Bang Goes the Theory that is similar to mythbusters. There was a particular episode where they took a typical UK family and unbeknownst to them put them into a house that was solely powered by electricity generated by bicyclists. It is a stark lesson on how much we take easy energy from fossil fuels for granted:

http://www.electricpedals.com/human-power-station/

It is quite foolish and selfish that generations living from about 1900 to 2100 will burn up 3 billion years of stored sunlight in the form of fossil fuels.

It will be at the least drastically painful when the fossil fuels run out if we don't take action.

I suspect that Google is an NSA front organization, which is why Google appears to be pissed at the NSA.

In any case, I think both Microsoft and Google would be high value targets for all sorts of infiltration by the NSA, whether it's sanctioned by the power structures of these companies or not.
Putting up transparent bubble wrap does a great job of blurring what's behind, while letting people see if you're in your office. Raid the shipping department.
This is a recruiting move. Facebook is building its DL team, and to do that, they need to grow the community using their tools.
In this particular case, it's mostly a problem of not actually being there physically to perform the transaction. The solution of "stuff it into an envelope and mail it" would actually work out incredibly well here, except it will never make it.
SEEKING WORK | Singapore | Southeast Asia/APAC Region | Remote
Freelance tech consultant based in Singapore for hire either remotely or in SEA/APAC region.

I have over 10 years of experience in early stage startups as a software engineer and a product manager. I help founders in these companies set product roadmaps, tech and hiring strategies to attain product-market fit and scale rapidly. My favourite tech stack is Ruby on Rails and its related ecosystem and can develop apps from scratch with keen a keen eye for product and usability. I am also available for a CTO/CPO-as-a-Service for teams that need assistance in scaling their engineering and product teams.

I've helped pre-series A startups with limited resources in launching products on time with high customer satisfaction rates and minimal disruption. I have held leadership roles in YC startups and grew product teams from a team of 1 to many. I have a background in enterprise technology (healthcare, telecommunications) and utilise my technical product knowledge in bridging sales teams and engineering teams to solve customer problems.

I'm not sure how similar this will be but Twitter have a bit of information on how they indexed "roughly half a trillion documents " when they moved to indexing all tweets here: https://blog.twitter.com/2014/building-a-complete-tweet-inde...

Edit: I don't think Twitter do nearly the same filtering with this and their social graph so maybe not as close as I first thought.
"There are caveats, though, especially for people who have suffered significant knee injury or are overweight."

Sure, in moderation it's a small net gain, but few are the correct weight, without injury, and run in moderation.

Note: Simply being tall can have the same effect as being overweight and shorter. The knee supports 3d volume on a 2d surface so it has scaling issues. There is a significant peak load difference between a 5'2" runner and a 6'2" runner.

Edit: "We know from many long-term studies that running doesn't appear to cause much damage to the knees," vs. "In one study, Swedish researchers found that exercise, including jogging, may even be beneficial." So, at best "if you have a relatively normal knee and you're jogging five to six times a week at a moderate pace, then there's every reason to believe that your joints will remain healthy." Which is hardly the same things as saying running is not harmful.
Why does "not knowing you are doing it" matter at all?

Here is evidence that Google wanted to "organize the world's information" in 1999. http://googlepress.blogspot.com/1999/06/google-receives-25-m...

Certainly world changing success is very rare. But explicitly aiming for it seems like it would help rather than hurt.
This is an interesting comment to me because I came to D3 having written zero Javascript and picked it up as I learned D3. D3 does feel like both a library plus a set of conventions. That being said, I find it to be very powerful once you grasp the basics. I've also used some higher level libraries like NVD3.js when I didn't feel like starting from scratch.
I also thought Boise was a bad example. From my perspective, the natural alternative to San Francisco is Seattle: decent public transit, awesome food, has a tech culture, friendly cannabis policies, amazing landscape, and (most importantly to me) a much more affordable cost of living. When I was making the choice to relocate to the west coast, I started out 100% set on getting to the Bay Area. But as I visited the cities, looked at the job opportunities (disclosure: I am not a programmer by trade, but have worked in the tech industry), and evaluated my living choices, San Francisco just didn't make any sense for me.

Of course I don't mean to suggest that's the only alternative. Rather, I agree with the OP that it seems like there's an argument to be made for basing your start-up outside of San Francisco, and there are at least decent alternatives.
congrats, you shielded them from knowledge and managed to kill their curiosity.

My point was they didn't miss the Internet revolution. In fact, they picked up on it faster than most of the '80's tech companies and radically shifted strategy because billg knew that by, say, 1997, it might have been too late.

I agree that trying to remake the PC space in the PDA and phone worlds was a strategic blunder for Microsoft. OEMs competing to build low-margin devices for a common OS worked for Google because they could afford to give Android away for free and the carriers and handset makers were terrified of Apple.

On hardware, Microsoft had a model to follow: XBox. Imagine if they'd built an "XPhone" in 2005 instead of playing me-too to Apple with the Zune.
The markets where Microsoft makes money are almost identical to the markets that they made money in pre-Ballmer, despite a massively changed computing landscape, and it is possibly inertia that has them still making loads of profits.

But inertia fades: Exchange servers are being decommissioned. SQL Server instances are being replaced. People are supplanting an enormous amount of computing time that they did on desktops with non-Microsoft tablets and smartphone devices, which is a migration that makes Windows dramatically less entrenched (Office was once the lynchpin of Microsoft's maintenance of a captive market, however the need to use a mix of devices has made Office much less palatable than it once was). In other markets, such as online and Home and Entertainment, it has been a decade of losses, and the xbox is being usurped right as Microsoft was supposed to start profiting off of their moves.

And as this happens, Microsoft has responded by essentially tapping their existing business customer base to make up for lost market. The prices of some of the new versions are extraordinary (e.g. a Sharepoint 2013 deploy), leading to more departures. It is unsustainable.

Microsoft today feels very similar to RIM of 2010 -- the profits are still there, but the industry has moved on. In no way does that mean that they're doomed, and they can still pivot, but things don't look good.

Many younger people on HN have no knowledge of just how much Microsoft dominated technology at the turn of the millennium. I remember eagerly waiting for betas of far off Microsoft products, because every shift of Microsoft had a profound impact on the entire industry.
You should be able leverage this to deploy to EC2, Rackspace, Digital Ocean and others.
As far as I've seen no account holder's money has been forfeited... however they're clearly having withdrawal issues which may be related.
I've seen ads on Facebook where a prominent show host has a beaten up face, full with bruises, and the tagline "you wouldn't believe what happened to him". More than twice, two different personalities. I'm pretty sure these ads were made without the consent of the displayed persons, or their management.

If Facebook wants to show me this kind of ads, it tells me all what Facebook is about. They don't have control about the ads they show, nor do they care about what ads they show.

And no, I am not a violent person, am not interested contact sports, so this is not a personalized ad, and no context exists where these ads could be helpful or meaningful.

I really do despise Facebook.
I would clarify this as, all politicians do lie, including Trump, because truth is not black and white, and people often speak in inconsistencies. So a single lie should not become a litmus test to disqualify any candidate, and instead we should overweight their post statement reaction (the "empty apology") much more than we do now.
That doesn’t support your original point. Color blindness is very persistent over time IQ isn’t. Sure +/- 7 IQ points sounds very accurate, but that can be more than a 30 percentile change from two different tests 1 month apart meaning the actual signal is very weak.

You can read papers saying IQ texts on 2 year olds are strongly correlated with adult IQ, but read the details and individual people’s scores varied wildly.

So sure in aggregate it seems consistent, but that’s largely an artifact of test design. Someone with mental handicaps so profound as to be non communicative will consistently score very low, it doesn’t mean much for the general population.
Has it ever occurred to anyone that passports are racist?
I mean the discrimination is solely on skin-color and accident of birthplace, little else! There is zero merit to being born in white privileged country but yet I NEVER see anybody protesting in the street against this atrocity? Why is that?
We got 4 months in Ireland, but the statutory requirement was less than that for the time that we had been there. Had we been in the house another year os wo, it would have been 6 months.
Signal already does SMS on Android but on iOS thats forbidden so you can't replace SMS app. Quite convenient for Apple because same SMS app by default supports their imessages :))
> I don't get why there is no way to edit apps live through the operating system. Before I knew how programs work I didn't understand why I can't recode anything as user - change menus in Windows 3.1, change what they do, change logic of forms, etc. Today I know how this works and I'm even more convinced this would be good for everyone, exposing the actual logic behind all we see in apps (start with text, forms, links, buttons, etc.) would only be to everyone's benefit - would expose bugs, help people learn UIs in depth, suggest better functionalities and have swarms of users contribute to computers.

This has been done before more than once, including at PARC (which is listed as an inspiration in TFA)
> There are plenty of large groups that people derive social value from, maybe even most.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Do you mean groups on facebook or that there are other groups on the scale of facebook people (ie. a user count in the billions) derive value from?

For the first, in the absence of facebook these groups would no doubt still exist. There were forums before facebook and some of them grew quite large. There were even regional social networks on smaller scales (I worked for one once).

If you mean the latter, well, I don't think that's really true. In so far as it is, there are only really a couple that aren't just owned by facebook to begin with.
Colleges have of tens thousands of people doing a quite limited number of things - mostly classes and teaching, with some support staff or service easily placed around campus. It's easy to plan for that. I'd guess most campuses in the US can easily be walked across multiple times a day. I went to Purdue, W. Lafayette, about 40K students, and didn't need a car. One could walk between classes and dorms and food trivially.

Cities of hundreds of thousands to millions of people have easily thousands and thousands of varying jobs, different size and scale employers, a huge range of skilled and unskilled labor, a vast array of specialists and specialty employers, and even several entire campuses - a massive amount of different requirements. It's not reasonable to expect everyone to have employment within close range, so immediately people need cars to commute. It's not reasonable to put some large employers evenly mixed with housing - no one wants the garbage facility or any of a host of companies next door. Many companies also have huge inflow/outflow requirements like trains, shipping, power, waste, again complicating the picture, since people need to travel larger distances to reach them. Zoning laws didn't just pop up to prevent campus living everywhere - they popped up to solve the issues that occur when living and industry was co-mingled.

So while I'd love to have all of life be as serene and pretty as a top university, I also prefer to have specialized jobs and places to do such work, and I don't see how these can possibly be merged.
How do I have them backwards? The theory attributes ultimate cause to something that is way way in the past. The event is chosen to maximize narrative plausibility. There is no way to verify the narrative or better falsify it.

The theory conveniently exonerates Boeing engineers without any supporting evidence, forget falsification.
Fantastic. Also, zero rating is allowing ISPs and content providers to stifle competition and artificially raise prices.

We should reinstitute net neutrality, investigate zero rating, reconsider the subsidies, and encourage municipal broadband where it makes sense.
> If it was based purely on the cheapest way from A to B then there would be no brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin

Those brands account only for a tiny fraction of the car market though. For the rest the cost of buying and maintaining a car is certainly a bigger fraction of the acquisition decision.
You can use variables in SSI and if/else conditions. So you could set state based on the URL or other environment variables.

It's actually fairly powerful and you can get quite a lot done with it.

Boeing being banned from lobbying would have a good clause to include in the agreement but that would be a bridge too far.
