Thanks, that seems so obvious, now that you've explained it. I hadn't though about the advertising angle (silly me)...
I'm sure he just brute-forced the passphrase.
It only works if the amount you're offering is similar to what a person would make from their unemployment benefits.
It takes some courage to open yourself up to anonymous feedback from customers -- some of which may be unfair criticism from someone just having a bad day -- but the rewards far outweigh the risks. It shows that you're committed to providing a great experience and that you value and respect your customers' opinions. You could even go a step further and post some comment cards -- with your response -- on a message board of sorts. I saw this at my company's cafe once and it helped me feel like they were really listening and acting on suggestions.
Steve couldn't get on that vaunted AT&T network. Someone shouted "Verizon". Haha.
I think the number of people that have useful content to you but are not writing a blog are pretty darn small, and are probably already sending you links through IM or email.
If Donahoe was speaking, rather than writing, how do we know that he didn't make a slip of the tongue and use the possessive form "its" when he really meant to say: "it's." Maybe the quote is accurate.
>Planning has played the biggest part in reducing accidents. Roads in Sweden are built with safety prioritised over speed or convenience. Low urban speed-limits, pedestrian zones and barriers that separate cars from bikes and oncoming traffic have helped.

This is big. Cities in Sweden have the ability to cater much faster to bikers because biking is a much more prevalent way of trasport than in the United States. In fact, that is one of the larger causes for deaths in cities like San Francisco. [1]

The README for hbase characterizes it differently:

hbase is a collection of programs that complements sbase
and ubase. It's meant to be a temporary project that
will shrink and die once sbase and ubase gets
implementations of most of the programs included. hbase
mostly contains programs taken from the Heirloom project,
but also has other programs, such as patch taken from
FreeBSD and mk taken from plan9port.

So it's not a rewrite, but rather a temporary code dump for "miscellaneous utilities". Skimming at the code confirms this.
It's crazy. They're substantially impacting their competitiveness in an important industry, just so they can make a futile attempt to silence something that hardly matters. You're small fish, but add up the impact on millions of similar small fish in India and it's a big problem.

Cheers man! have a great 2015.
Aren't you making a mistake in assuming that those who fall under this neologism are different? Isis for example wants to be a nation, not just terrorize people. Haven't there been religious crusades of terror for that purpose in the past?

The nuances of mathematics are really extremely important in modern theoretical physics, too, given that most problems in quantum field theory have historically involved divergent integrals that physicists need to converge. (This is also what's preventing a quantum theory of gravity.)

Physics today does have some remarkably talented mathematical thinkers, like Edward Witten, but most of them are involved in very fanciful theories like string theory.
>Can you give an example of a community, of comparable magnitude, that is more open minded?

Exactly; HN is very myopic - to the point of exhibiting aspergers. HN actually is too 'geek centric' -- whereby the community here is too focused on looking like the in crowd of the YC/FB alumn...

>traders routinely get money in this order of magnitude for creating a net value less than top engineers at Google

But traders don't create value they leech it. Yes they create price changes that result in profit, but that's a quirk of the financial system. Yes, fluidity, yadda-yadda, I don't buy that crap.

Engineers, if they're working effectively are creating value.

I agree though, the writing is sub-par. It somehow sounds far too american to quite fit into the Harry Potter canon, in my opinion.

> But I can't help feel that it's the exact same mob mentality which made me want to leave Reddit in the first place.

To put in the cliché Freudian speak -- Reddit is the Id and HN is Superego.

Reddit is the place to call people stupid, post silly pictures of cats, but also a place to get together and donate for a cause, talk someone out of a suicide, or just spread around stupid memes for fun. A well placed witty one-liners will get you hundreds of upvotes. Anything too intellectual will likely get a TL;DR type reaction.

HN is the site that discusses issues in depth, rational, evidence backed arguments are expected, civility and maturity is expected as well. A stupid one liner will most likely be frowned upon.

But I think we need both. I am a member of both sites and both provide for a what I consider a healthy outlet for my online presence.
Now, see, that's insane. If they were serious about security, as opposed to security theater, they would never let baggage fly without its passenger. Even if they search everything, you can't tell me you couldn't build plastic explosives into the wheels of a suitcase or something.
"Nowhere near as bad as Rowling, who is an awful writer, but still pretty bad. To be fair to Rowling her first book actually introduced some good ideas, the rest were pretty much universally crap."

What? Excuse me, are you serious? Rowling is a very good writer. In terms of style and plotting, the latter of which isn't always perfect, but definitely not as awful as you make out. And why on earth are you measuring her in terms of "ideas" such as historical context, she wrote a series of children and teen's books, which happen to possess a cross-over appeal to adults due to their quality. Harry Potter isn't hard science fiction, and I do find your seeming inability to find simple pleasure in reading such a (in my view) charming series quite disheartening.
"Taken" lol. Is there any journalist who can write about this with some intellectual honesty?
Chicago apartments are way cheaper than $2k a month. Most of my team pays less than $1k in great neighborhoods such as Lincoln Park and Wicker Park. If you want a building with a pool, doorman, gym, etc. then you can spend $2k a month but you would have to try to find a place that expensive.

To give perspective in Chicago $4k a month can you get a modern 3,000 sqft home or the penthouse in a swanky building vs a studio/ 1br in SF.
Lots of HR people, lawyers, and contacts within the immigration offices.
That's probably not in line with the suckless way.

I'd say prison could be a great remedy for that sort of thing.
It seems like comic books are not what you are looking for for your child. Try graphic novels
Krita is great for what it is, but saying 'Goodbye Photoshop, hello Krita' is akin to saying 'Goodbye tractor, hello vespa'. If all you're doing is trying to get from A to B, a vespa certainly may be a better option, but don't think that a vespa can do what a tractor can do.

Even GIMP is far behind what Photoshop can provide. Want a really good look at what the differences are between the two? Look at GIMP's development roadmap: http://wiki.gimp.org/index.php/Roadmap

It's usually a pretty quick view of the delta between the two programs. Krita is missing most if not all of these too. Some of the big features Krita and Gimp are missing:

1.) Non-destructive editing capabilities. Krita and GIMP have masks, which is a start, but neither support smart objects (dynamically sized/edited objects that don't destroy/replace pixel data on resize) or adjustment layers. This is huge. Unless you're a painter, no one in the industry uses destructive editing techniques.

2.) High bit depth. This is another big one. Since most of the crowd on HN are more familiar with code than design, I'll put it in code terms: pretend that you had to do precision work, but a Math.floor() function was called every time you did any arithmetic. When you're doing light adjustments/corrections, blending, color correction, and such, the work can introduce heavy banding when you're working in 8bits per channel. By switching to 16bits per channel you provide way more fidelity on the individual pixel level, eliminating a lot of banding in your final product. Even if you have a monitor that can only display 8bit color, working in 16 can change your end result drastically.

There are some minor features too that bug me. The inability to add a mask to layer groups is a big one for me. Layer effects (while often overused and gaudy) can be really helpful for design work - need to change the color of an icon that's raster art? Just drop a color overlay on it. If you have style swatches, it can be really easy to do fast mockups using this. This in conjunction with Layer Comps (also something missing in Gimp right now) can really help in switching between two or more alts.

These programs are a long way off from being Photoshop. Whenever I see a story like this where Photoshop is replaced by GIMP/Krita, what I see isn't that these things have the capability to replace Photoshop, but rather that the people who replaced it were only using a tiny subset of Photoshop's capabilities, and found something more suited to their usecase.
This is very nice, thank you. I was hoping that when I click on the number on the lower left it would let me get to harder higher levels.
What others said. There's another possibility here too: mine at a loss now, then hold onto the BTC, in hope that BTC goes up in value. If you mine $10 worth of BTC a day, but it costs you $20 to do so, that's not a loss if a week from now the value goes up 4x.

Not saying that's what they are doing, but it is not unlikely that huge mining operations know more than the public about what might happing going forward.
The overwhelming majority of those companies also don't actually accept bitcoin. They've brokered a deal with an exchange. Bitcoin payments are made to the exchange and the exchange pays the vendor in U.S. currency.

So, the company isn't actually transacting in bitcoins.
Venture design: Invest by design.

Utilize our design capabilities for a small percentage of the company. Our capabilities consist of branding, web & mobile, and packaging. Tony Murphy Ventures needs teams to meet the following three criteria in order to design:

(1) minimum viable product;

(2) support from existing accelerator or incubator; and

(3) less than twelve months to hit the next big milestones to raise a larger round.
If you have to pay for the electricity, it's only economical to mine (Bitcoins) with an ASIC. The CPU and GPU mining is now so slow that you will get very few Bitcoins in average, and the cost of the electricity to run it will be grater than the money you can get from the Bitcoins. (To get a smooth outcome you should probably mine in a pool, but this decrease the expected average result only little.)
> But does it really do so in practice? If I'm using Element/Matrix and a colleague is using WhatsApp, or Signal, or Telegram, or Briar. Can they reliably send me messages? Can I reliably send them messages?

Matrix is not the provider. Matrix is the protocol/idea. Element is both an app and a service.

What is common, reliable, and achievable in practice: I decide I no longer like New Vector (who run the matrix.org home server). I switch to Purism's matrix server. I no longer am doing business with New Vector, yet I can still chat with everybody that is using New Vector's matrix service.
Here's the thing.

If you have an expectation that every event in history is accompanied by the instigators writing/saying "Let's all go do an X" (where X might be "coup" or "revolution" or whatever), you're going to be disappointed.

Most often, it's only historical hindsight that forms the narrative in which "X said Y which led to Z".

If you're somewhat sympathetic towards Trump, then likely only utterly unambiguous language - "So listen up everyone, I want you, in fact I order you, to go to the Capitol, get inside, prevent the certification from taking place, by any means necessary, including violence" - would convince you that he had incited a coup (and perhaps not even that).

Out in the real world, few people speak in such unambiguous ways even if their goals are clear. That's why we often need trials to establish whether or not certain language had intent A or intent B, because the language used was not unambiguous (often deliberately so).
> It's an idiom to succinctly describe a chain of causality.

Right, and the fallacy is that it's being pre-attributed to a sequence of events that hasn't happened yet.

Again, it's a boring argument and adds nothing to the discussion.

I wish one of them had something like the WhatsApp statuses. It's one of the main conversation starters for me and reasons why I stay on WhatsApp. If Signal were to get statuses, I'd probably switch immediately.

If they wrote $5.55, they deserve the full credit. I do arithmetic admittedly weirdly in my head. I can't do arithmetic very quickly.

When faced with $20 - $14.45, I round up the $14.45 to $15 and subtract from $20. I have $5. Now, I think how much more I still have and that is $0.55. I add them together to get $5.55.

If I can write the answer, why would you dock points just because my way of doing this simple math is inefficient?
I, for one, would love to know more about how this is done. Is your code open-sourced by any chance? Thanks!

Yes. Lithium iron phosphate batteries can pass the "nail test"[1] and ordinary water sprinklers will extinguish fires.[2] Unlike ordinary lithium ion batteries.[3]

I'll bet Tesla omits the titanium skid plate under the battery for those.

Lithium iron phosphate also makes sense for fixed applications. BYD says they've been able to get the energy density per liter up near regular lithium-ion by improved packaging, but lithium iron phosphate is still about 2x heavier.

I agree with dang's feelings/thoughts about the issue.

Merely mentioning rape - the #metoo campaign - and revealing how widespread it was caused meltdowns.
I like and enjoy HKTs in other languages, but don't feel a super strong need for them in Rust. I know some other people differ. It is very unclear when, if ever, Rust will get HKTs proper. GATs cover a lot of the same ground. We'll see :)
The reality of LTD companies is precisely that investors don’t have to do that. If the company goes under, well, too bad; they will take some of the fat accumulated in good years, and start again. That’s the whole point of modern capitalism: the capitalist is insulated from the worst outcomes of his enterprise.

At the moment, the risk/reward equation is unbalanced. For owners, it goes from outsized risk at startup to outsized reward at success; for employees, it goes from outsized risk at startup to moderate risk at success
> There's not reason why Intel couldn't

If Intel could they would, for years now they’ve been spending billions to get fraction of a pc improvements on benchmarks. You really think if they could increase die size by 10% and get 30% better perfs they’d say no? Come on.

> they don't have the incentive to hyper-optimize frequently used Apple workloads like Final Cut Pro.

Except M1’s performance improvements show up across the board including software which has no relation to Apple, so this is just complete nonsense.
A paid email hosting provider can simply refund the appropriate portion of what you've paid depending on how much time is left on your contract.
Fair point - even some of the shallowest corners of Windows itself are broken too (like Windows Media Player), although most of the other big user-facing shell apps like Explorer and IE are great.

Google almost had support in Chrome 34 after a few false starts, but it looks to have been disabled yet again in current releases.

Now that Windows users are trying to use Retina MacBooks via BootCamp and 2x-resolution Windows 8 tablets like the IdeaPad Yoga2 are out, the DPI scaling issue is finally starting to get mainstream exposure. Most reviews of the IdeaPad called out Chrome specifically and once 4K displays come down in price the gamer crowd will probably jump on the bandwagon as well.
There is no reason why "editing plain text" should be anything other than immediately intuitive. Advanced, time-saving features, like multi-cursors or regexp-based find-and-replace, can and should be progressively revealed through normal use of the software.

This ludditic reverence for user-hostile text editors is one of the more perplexing and frustrating things about our industry.
Sounds neat. Has anyone here tried it? I might buy it if people think it's really good.

I've got to say though, the reviews on the google app store are getting the side-eye from me. Lots of five star reviews that praise the features listed in the marketing. That's not all there is to it, but I'm not quite sure how to convey why they seem fake.. Did anyone else get that feeling?

Haha, you are perfectly right. I totally admit that I'm an amateur with a low level of ML expertise.

One the other hand, ML researchers with a deep knowledge expertise are extremely hard to find, even among statisticians / programmers. I suppose that the people with a real expertise are working on their own startup or in FAANG.

This leads to a situation where the medical research involving ML is largely without interest or full of bias. It is easy to spot in the literature.
This is an incredible and inspiring story. Would love to read more.

The lack of an effect system in OCaml is annoying. Exceptions, which are widely used, are an idiot-proof recipe for resource leaks, combined with the lack of a 'finally' statement. Even something like basic checked exceptions would help.

On the other hand, the lack of 'finally' itself is not such a big issue, considering that you are going to end up using either Lwt or Core.Async as soon as you start doing something non-trivial with IO.
