As long as you making plans and analyze why to do something or not, you are losing your time on over-analysis. Instead of reading super-analytical and pseudo philosophical 'less wrong' or marketing crap from 'techcrunch', that have little to do with reality, start to do something REAL. When you do something REAL, ideas will pop-up on the course and some believes will be challenged, but this is the only way.

HN is great community but there are some stereotypes that need to be chalenged on personal level:

1. The "SWEAT CAPITAL" is better than Venture Capital, and you have access to it already.

2. If you want to make money, do not think in the box. Here people tend to analyze what already been done. This is not a way - you need to innovate.

3. People will laugh with your ideas and failures. You need to be firm believer in what you do. Respect is gained and not granted.

4. Start doing something "stupid", without prospects of economical gain. you will see that you will end up with something completely different than when you started thinking about it.

5. Stop dreaming -- Start Doing. It is much more rewarding and interesting.

Let It Be.
Apple will become the Apple of the phone market...

Nice phrase. There's something that will help to it and to Android gaining market share: in a few years, smartphones will cost one fifth of its current price. This will have all sorts of implications. Telcos will lose the power subsidizing phones gives them now. Margins for OS will shrink, etc.

Except it's been shown time and time again that people can't be trusted to do the right thing.

Well a lot of people seem to think the definition of racism has changed to mean "power + prejudice," instead of just judging someone based on their race, so theoretically "neoracism" would just mean what "racism" meant ~20 years ago.
>The training claims to be created by Dr. Robin DiAngelo (author of books such as White Fragility). Dr. DiAngelo has a statement on her website claiming that she had nothing to do with this content and it was created without her consent

Typical moat-and-bailey argumentation from the woke. These people are just dripping with bad faith, as if this Coca Cola presentation isn't in ideological lock-step with DiAngelo.

The saddest part is that this madness is already fueling anti-black resentment.
Yeah, I was disappointed by the lifted trace. It was only on the assembled one. The others all look fine to my untrained eyes.

Because I had low confidence in my circuit, I ordered the cheapest possible assembly. I assume hand-assembled or a mix, given one of each part.

I’m hoping to attempt hand assembly myself soon. Picked up a hot air station and a new set of parts from Digi-Key. :)
Wow you should definitely reach out to the thousands of career hard disk engineers to inform them of your idea using different inert gases. They probably haven’t considered that one.
I wonder if this portends a similar fate for Microcenter?
Glad to provide it. I am not sure why you are getting downvoted. Asking for a source is GOOD and Hacker News public should understand that.
Same terrible experience here with GCP sales and support, but the other options aren't much better. The reality is that unless you are in the 7 figure range, you don't get serious attention. I'm still surprised why sales is so dysfunctional but billions of quarterly profit means there's little need to change.
I have a commute of about the same length which I do by bike. You do have to change clothes, yes, but provided you wear deodorant, odor isn't likely to be an issue.
I have just come back to Australia from 2 months in SE Asia and one of the most striking difference is the lack of rules - in particular how easy it is to get a business going if you want to. As countries develop, they introduce rules which tend to slow down economic growth. Some of these rules are good (it feels a lot safer here due to better road rules, construction etc), but many are pointless and introduced for the wrong reasons as the video indicates.
In the past, firehose access has meant public tweets only. I presume Gnip is getting the same data as the Library of Congress and other firehose consumers, but details haven't been spelled out yet.
This, IMO flies in the face of "Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation." - Taken from HN Submission Guidelines [http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html].

I have been following this advice well before it appeared on HN, and wish that everyone would.

If I have someone talking about something that I am not interested in, I have one of two options - tell them my concern and hope we can reach a common ground, or as hanshasuro correctly said, stop listening (by not calling them or interacting with them in any way). In the real world, I am pretty certain I would not ask someone else, let alone someone completely anonymous to hint at the issue.

Now that I have gotten off my soap-box, I do realize that it was for fun, though I am not sure it's the kind of fun I like to participate in.
The concept of "Privacy" means to me that the average user is aware of how their profile, their content, etc is going to be used by the host.

There's a difference between the perception of your feed being public, and Twitter selling your feed data to a corporation to utilize for targeting, advertising, reselling to employment agencies in the future long after your stupid teenage profile is deleted, whatever.

When a solid 10% of the users are kids (and a much much larger percentage is entirely clueless) it's worth questioning and the people that do know what's actually going on have a responsibility to ask questions.

That's my best attempt to get fired up about privacy on twitter, you forced my hand - oh won't you please think of the children?

That depends on how much it cost per atom. I am going to say somewhere between 1 cent and 1 million dollors so:

1 KG of Hydrogen has ~1000 * 6.02 * 10 ^ 23 atoms.
@ 1 cent per atom that's 6.022 * 10 ^ 12 trillion dollors.
@ 1 million $ per atom that's 6.022 * 10 ^ 20 trillion dollors.
You missed the point of the whole thing. This is not about displaying tweets, it's about the ability of a analyzing trends, news, popularity, etc. via tweets. It's a huge deal to be able to get 50% (let alone 100%) of all the tweets on a given moment.
I think hackers are attracted to outdoorsy sports, and non-team sports. Plus there is a lot of climbing gear to geek out about.

I use this on Windows. For a large hosts file (several megabytes), I find the DNS client service hangs until it reads the whole file. Further, there is also a noticeable delay in the order of a few seconds until the hostname is resolved. For smaller files, I find there is no noticeable lag. Can't offer you any numbers though.

Hostsman (http://www.abelhadigital.com/hostsman) on windows is the my choice of a frontend for hosts management. It's free but not open source.
A castle with no gate is also more secure. And kind of useless for its inhabitants. Like being under siege all the time.

My point being, sure you can get a more secure `something` by making it more and more static, but you'll probably cripple it somehow.

It's simply a balance you have to find for your use case.
I'm sure the tigers have no particular interest in having you living near them either.

Personally, I hate the last book but all of the others are just fine.

Actually, I really like Dan Brown's writing style. It really draws you in and is really effective. The only problem is that Brown has only written one book, really. All his novels have the same, highly specific format. It's only the details that are different. The plot exposition, the characters etc are all mostly the same.
The narrative quality of The Da Vinci Code does indeed scream PowerPoint. A quick Google search does not immediately yield support, but I'm going with this anyway as it meshes with my loathing for that particular work. :)

I wonder if it is really needed to make a copyright claim. And even if so, wouldn't it make more sense to date it to its creation? If i am not mistaken, the duration until it would be invalidated is also based on the date of publishing it. Or some date after your death.
I own half a dozen firearms and I wish smart gun technology worked. The main problem with RFID smart guns is that they can be jammed. If such tech was required by law, any criminal with a jammer would create a zone where only they could shoot. This makes RFID guns useless for any sort of self or home defense. Likewise, police wouldn't be able to use them. There are similar problems with fingerprint reading. Reading a fingerprint isn't very reliable (dirt, cuts, etc), and the owner may need to use the gun while wearing gloves.

On the sort-of bright side, unintentional gun deaths are only around 3% of all firearm homicides. One could save many more lives by further restricting handguns. For example: make getting a handgun more like getting a private pilot's license. Unfortunately, such restrictions are probably unconstitutional.
I had far more 3.5" floppies fail than 5.25" The "protective" door often blew up or would come apart in the drive. The hard shell and protective door would lead to people throwing the discs everywhere. The 5.25" was meticulously stored in a sleeve and disc case, only being exposed when inserting into the drive. Every time I find a 5.25" it glistens like brand new. Good luck getting data off any of these after sitting for a decade. I had to refresh discs (rewrite all the data) after sitting for only a few years.

This comment was horribly written. If there's a thousand different directions and no storyline, why don't you point out how things aren't necessary to your summary of the actual story? Point out misconceptions and inaccuracies?

Your comment is arguably less worthwhile than a factually incorrect comment- at least there's a point there to allow for a discussion to ensue. You just serve to quash discussion with a fiat "yeah, not up to my standards, pointy knees, you know."

This is a request to raise the level of the discourse. If the original is lengthy, directionless, and inaccurate, post something concise, direct, and accurate.

(I'd also note that somehow, when you essayed some actual thought (that I also replied to), you didn't get anywhere near the number of upvotes. Any thoughts? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1417708)

MoreMoschops I double that nonsense and raise you 1. I just read two TC articles from HN and both articles seam to be written as pure hyperbole. If you are in the business of writing news then write something of value, and please stop writing articles without some good data to back up your opinions.
To scratch the itch, obviously.
Regular has a technical meaning here, that is, Chomsky’s grammar hierarchy. It’s where the “regular” in “regular expression” comes from. That said, I’m using it in an imprecise way here to mean “simpler to process.” (This is because regular languages are simpler to process than say, context-sensitive languages.)

Location of the type is about grammar complexity. Rust’s grammar plays into its type inference capabilities, and the pattern syntax. There’s an underlying uniformity with syntax elsewhere.

> but when you start letting short/irreverent/low value content through and you end up with reddit

Many brilliant minds throughout history were also possessed of a keen sense of humor and a playful attitude which many HN users would consider infantile and puerile in modern culture. The implied inverse relationship between humor and "quality" of either intellectual or technical merit doesn't really exist, it's a cultural affectation, a taboo born out of the fear that humor breeds normality and normality brings the Eternal September effect.

However, HN doesn't often attach the same stigma to hostility or banality as it does humor. As a result, hostility and banality tend to flourish and become a means of virtue signalling because they aren't considered to be inherently toxic, merely bad form. Maybe dang wouldn't have to spend so much time talking users down from ledges if the culture here didn't require people to take everything so damn seriously.

And people have been complaining that HN is turning into Reddit since the beginning. There's plenty of content on Reddit of equal or greater quality than on HN, and plenty of HN users who also post on Reddit and elsewhere, and plenty of low value, low effort content here. Having that content also be humorless doesn't really add value.
> It's indeed really easy to setup. But setting it up properly still requires RTFMing, dismissing the warning above

I would bet that in a lot of cases, people that configure their servers like in the OP just don’t read the official docs at all.

Stack Overflow, Quora, etc. are great places to get answers, because of the huge amount of questions that have already been asked and answered there.

But when people rely solely on SO, Quora, blog posts and other secondary, tertiary, ..., nth-ary sources of information, Bad Stuff will result, because of all the information that is left unsaid on Q&A sites and in blog posts. (Which is fine on its own – the problem is when the reader is ignorant about the unsaid knowledge.)

> and having some clue about what ip addresses and ports are and why having a database with full read write access on a public ip & port is a spectacularly bad idea.

Again, not necessarily, for the same reason as above.

But even if they did, it is a sad fact that a lot of people dismiss concerns over security with the kinds of “counter-arguments” that I am sure we are all too familiar with. :(

Thankfully though, we are beginning to see a shift in legislation being oriented towards protecting the privacy of people whose data is stored by companies.

Ideally, the fines should cause businesses to go bankrupt if they severely mishandle data about people. Realistically that is not what happens. For the most part they will get but a slap on the wrist. But it’s a start.

Companies that can’t handle data securely, have no business handling data at all.
Driving drunk is safer than texting. With DUI, at least your reaction time is just scaled by a certain amount. Whereas when inputting something with a touchscreen, your road attention completely disappears for imperceptible spurts of time.
There are cars going on sale in the EU market (Audi E-tron, Honda E) with cameras replacing the side view mirrors. Presumably at some point these will also be allowed in the US.
It doesn't really scale. There's a de-facto limit of 2,000 characters [0] in a URL. HTTP/1.1 is not opinionated about URL length, but practical implementations are.

If your ids are UUIDs, each has a length of 36. If your URL consisted of nothing but UUIDs, you could safely delete 55.5(repeating) of them.

"(They're deported if they quit, and they make less money than an equivalent employee without that handicap)"

a) Neither PG's essay not your parent comment mentioned current system as the solution. Quite the opposite in fact. The current system is the problem that we're trying to solve.
b) Even in the current h1b system, employees are free to quit and find another job. H1b transfers are quite easy in fact as long as the employee can find another company to employ them.

Your entire second paragraph about "power and podium to be honest... " stuff is written under the mistaken assumption that an extension of the current system is being proposed.

lots of memorable quotes. stuff that makes complete sense, but until somebody phrases it a certain way, it just never clicks...ya know?
agreed. the way i interpreted neil's quote was that a startup has a certain trajectory in mind, but once they release and start collecting feedback (surve.io anybody?), then the inspiration for the pivots will come from the users of the product.

of course you can't listen to what everybody says, but as a team, take all of the generated ideas and determine which are the best. i think it removes a lot of the assumptions that are present going in.
