I feel design has always been a selling feature, and will continue to be so. People have always cared about how their car looks.

My wife has little interest in the driving and performance aspect of cars, and generally isn't into the blingbling aspect either. However she loves Porsche because she thinks they are some of the most beautiful cars in the world.

She is a fashion designer by trade, so her perspective is the opposite of yours - she would choose the Balenciaga because she feels the design is worth the premium despite being functionally the same (if not worse) than the Nike.

Speaking of Porsche, as well as other sporty manufacturers such as say, BMW (let's ignore the oldtimers cries of "BMW has lost its way!" for now), I think they're pushing the aspect of handling and "driving feel" as a differentiator even for their EVs vs. say, Tesla's offerings. Porsche can kinda do this IMHO because of their traditional market position, but other brands might have a harder time.

For example - Mazda. Praised by journalists and auto enthusiasts for having superb handling and driving feel. However most people in the market for a Mazda (Miata being an exception) probably don't care at all about how a car/CUV handles.

Relatedly: the appendix section "SQL Primer" in Obe and Hsu's 'PostGIS in Action' is my favorite quick intro to SQL and the first stop I give anyone looking to learn about the language.

Thinly veiled ageism.
They work with the native communities (that is why around 10% of trees planted are designed as a food source) which allows that 10 cents to cover everything, not just the planting of the trees.
But these two were not speaking about the “terms and conditions” of their employment. They were broadly criticizing the company on other matters ranging from climate change to more directly political issues. I feel like the scope of the NLRA is extending to include just about everything.
There even is a section on enforcing explicit data flow (see 3.1)
Big is subjective. I have an RV I bought for ~$10K that I'm renovating to live in full time one day, and it has a 50A Onan gas generator, which I wouldn't call big. It can drive both AC units onboard at the same time.
" but you would have faced even more had you also been poor and female"
False.
From my life:

It would have made difference in school as I would have gotten free lunch (somehow free lunch requirements was different in my days for boys and girls. Don't know about now), I would have had more attention from teachers that were interested in teaching girls only (I had ~95% female teachers).
In university - males would have helped me to do / would have done my work for me. I would have gotten more attention from few professors that gave extra personal lectures to women and ability to retake exams for women (affirmative action that increased grades of women and thus women had better chance at getting money from university). Also females had lower grade requirements for university stimulus (or is it called grant? Students get it depending on their grades) in first 2 years (after that system became fair... except for professors mentioned before).

From future:

I could use "You don't promote me because I am woman" to get promotion. I could get some free courses in programming for women. I could use all of the affirmative action there is. (I am not even listing small bonuses and support from white knights even when I would be wrong.)

They say "The grass is always greener on the other side". But if I had chance to turn time back and be born girl - I would. Only "privilege" as a man I have is "privilege" of learning to take blows and stand up without anyone running to help me. But I would be happy if you listed my privileges that I have not noticed.
How about just asking the submitter, if the number is really necessary? Can be done by a program.
most people won't remember it because it's really long ago, just after world war 2
You have a truly entrepreneurial mind!
I don't think you can get a meaningful answer this way. All or any of those options might be good ideas. Optimising affiliates or working on banner ads might be a good idea and there are businesses out there that make money this way. Dropshiping might also work for you. It's kind of like asking 'should I be a barber or an antique dealer?' It's not really answerable, is it?

That said, here is my opinion:

Affiliates/Banner

You are a pretty decent candidate for being an affiliate. Your site is about products and I assume your visitors have a reasonable chance of buying them. But, you need to be realistic about what your value per visitor can be on these. A conversion rate from visit to purchase of 0.1%-1% is probably the best you can hope for, assuming they are the right kind of visits, the products are good and the affiliates are reasonably "optimised". If you make $10 per sale that's $20-$200 per day. You probably know your own numbers. That is just my guess. Banners are probably going to bring in a bit less because they get a lot fewer clicks. You can't optimise them as well because they aren't yours. Affiliates and banners is very scalable. You don't need to worry about prices, sales, customer service and an extra 100k visitors will not add to your workload.

Retailing

My own preference (because of my experience and my bias) would be to think of myself as more of a retailer. This includes, but isn't limited to drop shipping. You stand to make more per visitor this way. But, it isn't scalable the way affiliate marketing is. If you get 10 times as many sales, you will have a lot more work. Customers will call you. You will find yourself between vendor and customers. etc. etc. margins can be tight and efficiency is important.

On the other hand, they are your customers and your products and yours. You can convert more visitors and make more on each sale. If you convert 1%-3% (good, but achievable e-commerce numbers) and your gross profit is $20, you can make $400-$1200 per day (less expenses, which will be more substantial).

I think that if you take this route you need to be willing to go past drop shipping if needed. You could probably stock up on a few hundred units for less than $5 per piece. You could even start your own brand. http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?SearchText=ipad+case&...

Back to disclaimers, it isn't really about what choice you make in the sense that banners are better than dropshipping. All the choices you are looking at are reasonable. The question is what sort of business you are trying to build.
Do they really? Or do they realize that it's going to be some years before HTML5 is efficient enough and just want native apps?
Surely it's selling some of the cases directly yourself? That way you don't get the tiny affiliate %, you get the full sales markup. Though I guess that's a whole new skillset/risk point.
A poorly implemented daemon sure can kill your battery life quickly.

Thank goodness there's a tool that lets us figure out what applications use the most battery! :)
I got my sysadmin to make this little pearl script

http://www.000fff.org/uploads/checkdomains.zip

We often have to come up with names for our clients and sometimes have hundreds of names.

The script allows you to create a list of domains you want to check in a text file and then filter those out that are available.
Check out Dirac's classic 'The Principles of Quantum Mechanics':

I was shocked how much clearer (and more useful) the exposition is compared to textbooks.
The background on this website makes my monitor flash...

The world, pre-Google, abounded in serendipitous quests to find one piece of information offline.

The world, post-Google, abounds in serendipitous quests to find many pieces of information online, such as starting at a given book on Amazon and moving down the chain of Amazon's "Customers Also Bought", or embarking on a semi-infinite dive through Wikipedia.

Any of these can turn into a game given the right mindset. Who can connect Klein bottles to the Gettysburg address in the fewest links?

Of course, that's not to disparage the fun of lacking access to proper information. Just look at these bodybuilders arguing over the number of days in a week: http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/233107/two-body-builders-arg...
One nitpick: while neural nets are inspired by brains, it is unclear whether they actually work anything like a human brain.
This Christmas they couldn't get the kids to watch Arthur on pbs because the little ones were running around with Nintendo 2dses and playing with smart phones. I saw my cousin tony who is a PlayStation enthusiast and asked him why he didn't buy a Vita and he said that close focusing wrecks your eyes.

I learned to read at 3 1/2 and by the time I was in school I couldn't see the blackboard. I felt wearing glasses isolated me from people and made it harder to fit into school. At least I got good at reading so I put up good numbers in high school and college and went on to get a PhD.

It is so ironic that mobile technology will make people's vision get worse except then all you know about is Mario and Yoshi.
I'd certainly run everything over a VPN or proxy to keep google's snooping to a minimum.
There was a poster a few weeks back on here offering to test your web app on all the major ISPs/carriers in Dar es Salaam: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9133792
Yes, but won't someone please think of the poor industry executives?
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit.
Original plans were unlimited 3g data. All t-mobile high speed data plans automatically included unlimited low speed data if you go over. They also have an unlimited 4g lte plan that's only $30 more than the basic 1gb plan. And they currently have a special offers to for 2 lines w/ unlimited data.

I had the original unlimited 3g data plan with AT&T. That also required paying $20 a month to get unlimited texts. I think I paid $10 a month for 250 monthly texts because that's all I needed. That was the height of mobile pricing bullshit in my eyes.
I had no idea there was an industry-wide regulation that introduced USB ports in 2012... All this time and money I've wasted on building a serial bus for my '03 Toastmaster, and it doesn't have a remap function!
The Python 3 migration hasn't been tough, it was just subjected to a political campaign. That kind of risk can only be controlled by never changing anything.
I think that's fair. It would mean much less liquidity available though as your risk taking capability was reduced. Would traders actually be willing to accept the much thinner books if some kind of economic or regulatory enforcement of this was in effect? Maybe if they knew it was 'higher' quality liquidity and they could depend on it being there.
I'm not offended or insulted by what you said. I don't even disagree with most of it, except maybe how you're using the terms "complete" and "proper." Saying that something isn't complete or proper generally really isn't compatible with a claim of impartiality.

I really have no problem with criticism of Emacs (provided that it's true, and now that you've expanded a little, I think what you're saying is true), but if you feel that familiarity (whether everyone's or just someone's) really sets Emacs and Sublime Text apart, call it criticism! :)
Compilation to JS is a few additional seconds during development, and the rest of your comment is right to the point.
Almost, because NaCl is only available on Chrome/Chromium.

I guess what we need is something that can be efficiently mapped onto ASM.js (while emulating threads), so that we can transition from the situation where only one browser supports the code to the situation where all browsers support it (and then ASM.js isn't needed anymore).
This is a complicated set of trade offs and I've argued on both sides of the fence so I can't pretend to imply the decision is at all clear cut. But let me respond to a couple details here.

First, the 'jQuery bloat' you're worried about looked like it was going to happen without Chrome native support: http://blog.jquery.com/2015/02/24/getting-on-point/. One of our goals in revisiting the decision was to avoid frameworks like jQuery having to include such polyfills to Chrome users.

The other thing is that we shouldn't assume Chrome doing Pointer Events means we won't also improve Touch Events. That's a complicated decision influenced in large part by participation by other browser vendors in the standards process around Touch Events.
My bad, was explicit written on the website: "(Don't confuse ComponentKit with React Native, a framework for building apps in Javascript.)"
Scott Meyers seems to have made a career out of documenting them in his books.
Ah yea, i'm referring to HTML Forms specifically. Thanks for the correction
This whole corona virus episode has definitely shown one thing. US, under the current govt can’t execute. Despite claims Like “world best”, “most powerful in the world” and whatever else our leaders proclaim it’s all baseless “marketing”. as they say past performance is not a indicator of future performance in the same way we did quite well from 40s/50s onwards for a certain time and build an image based on substance what we had at the time but is now just gone. It’s all a house of cards run on decrepit systems.
Some discussion from two years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17350122
> Now since I’m shopping and cooking for them, I am trying really hard not to get sick so I wear a mask to the stores and I’m getting looks from people like I stole them from a hospital.

I have an N99 (actually FFP3, a pretty much equivalent European standard I gather) from some DIY work a year or so ago; I haven't been out in some time, but when I did I didn't wear it for the same reason.

It will be interesting to see what happens to production, and commercial & residential stockpiles when we do get back to something resembling normality. I suspect there'll be a marked increase in non-Asian* routine mask-wearers on public transport, for example.

(* it was a lot more common among that group anyway, so I'm not so sure in my speculation that it would increase so much.)
I think that's a good example because it shows individual objects instead of curves on a graph, which for many people doesn't translate to reality.
Don't think so. One of my friends is tall but has short legs, it's not really noticeable. You can notice it if he goes from being taller than someone sitting down to being shorter standing up, but it's not shocking, just something you'd notice if you were paying attention
Live longer? How many old people have horrible diets, smoke, and are pretty much on track to die at 70/80? Guess what, you can eat all the kale and fruit you want, but you're going to get old and die, all the while people with worse diets are going to live longer than you. It's not fair, but that's life. Eat some fruit, go for a run, get hit by a bus.
With all the bubble talk and speculation recently (of which I have no real opinion either way) - to me, this is the biggest evidence I've seen of a bubble. The day after Magic posted on HN, someone posted how to make an identical service with only a couple hours (tops) of configuration. Per user, this valuation seems insane. You could launch an identical service for free, essentially instantly, and for tremendously less than $12 million you could get the same number of users and same brand recognition. I have no idea how this can be justified.

I also think Magic is going to be hard to be sustainable due to fraud. Get Magic to buy you thousands of dollars worth of something and then do a chargeback on the card (or use a stolen credit card). There's nothing they can really do about that other than try to detect fraud before it happens.
Thank you for clarifying! Since you work on Dart, could you please update the dart2js page as well?
You probably have a corrupt places.db.
Ah- I stand corrected! I spoke with a few Android-focused folks and they set me straight.

On Android, there is no JS execution environment available. We want to avoid the memory and cpu overhead of web views.

So we are basically forced to ship Android with a copy of either JSC or V8.
It's hard to imagine they could simultaneously arrest and restrain a guy, while keeping him within 3 feet of his laptop, while preventing him from shutting the lid or locking the computer. Falling to the floor would be enough to break the connection and lock the computer.
In all honesty, take a deep breath, relax, it's going to be ok.

Now that you have done that, here is a bit of feedback. You seem a little scattered in your thinking. This isn't the biggest problem in the world. You need to just hide it a bit and look less scattered to your potential employers. Here are a few ideas:

First, you have a PhD. This tells a potential employer very important details about you. As an interviewer I care very little about your thesis, about your advisor, and about which papers you are current researching. I DO care that you spent a significant amount of time solving problems. You found a problem, you stuck with it, and you solved the problem. Again, I have my own problems, I don't care at all about the problem you solved to get your PhD, just that you did! You have a HUGE ability to stick with things, this is an asset. Practice getting this out during your interviews. Make sure they know this is a skill they need within their organization and that regardless of the challenge, you will conquer it.

Second, you have a lot of languages. There is nothing wrong with that, but tune your resume and your interview towards the one this potential employer needs. You mention that you study a lot. Spend that time studying the needs of the person you are interviewing with. Know a lot about their product, about their environment, and about their history. Be ready to talk to them about all of these things. Defend your "mini thesis" about this organization every time you walk into an interview with them.

Third, practice confidence. I know this is easier said than done. I am not always confident in myself nor in my abilities. But I practiced and I show confidence when I walk into an interview. This helps a lot. Control the interview by asking questions, talking about what they need, knowing what to say when you get stuck, and showing your skills even when you feel nervous or scared that things aren't going well. Over the years some of my best jobs came from interviews that I was SURE I bombed miserably. Use your study time to practice these skills for a while. Never call yourself half as*ed again. Ever.

Finally, practice interview questions! Google "interview code questions" and practice one a day. Practice them in different languages. Really understand why you use some of the techniques that you use. You have an AMAZING ability to study, learn, reason, and defend your ideas. Use these skills to your advantage. You will do well!

Final Note: interviewing is a numbers game. You have to interview with a lot of companies to get where you want. You are already playing it well. Keep interviewing because you only have to pass that one best interview to get that one best job that you have been looking for. You can do it!
You should send me these so I don't leak out of your conversion funnel.
It's a good idea. I just about signed up and then you want a credit card so I stopped because your site is http. You are probably using stripe so it's not a big deal but that's a problem for me. Try freemium. I think you will get 10x amount of signups.
So, he plead guilty to these charges, that's why he's being sentenced for them.
He chose not to take his chances and make those arguments.
Interesting, I missed that. But I assume that's not idiomatic, is it?
This is not the first instance of drones being used for smuggling - previously, a fixed-wing drone carrying cigarettes across the Russia-Lithuania border was intercepted in May 2014: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/russians-capture-...

> Unfortunately, what we know about epistemology is contained largely in the work of the philosopher Karl Popper and is almost universally underrated and misunderstood (even — or perhaps especially — by philosophers). For example, it is still taken for granted by almost every authority that knowledge consists of justified, true beliefs and that, therefore, an AGI’s thinking must include some process during which it justifies some of its theories as true, or probable, while rejecting others as false or improbable.

This is where I gave up. Deutsch dismisses thousands of years of thought in a sentence. Not to mention that "justified true belief" is a phrase you find much more often in a textbook or an encyclopedia article than in a real work of philosophy.

I guess in this case (with sound) it would be called skeuophone.
Only someone who strongly defined themselves by their method of transport would interpret the statement like that.
And as some of the comments on his blog point out, he uses C++ in a C style.

As long as a critical mass of copies were printed and migrated forward. If a book received a strong negative reception, not many copies would survive for evaluation by future audiences.
Eh, it's a different beast. Oliver only has to do one show a week and he has an hour. He doesn't want to just be John Stewart's show but with swearing. Doing this every night would be tiring for the audience. Doing it once a week saying, "hey here's this one fucked up thing in our society" is a digestible form.

To put it another way one is comedy news, the other is a comedy news magazine.
Maybe combine with the sensors of a driverless car -- anytime some jerk is approaching from behind at a reckless speed, play the TIE fighter noise adjusted to the circumstances of his relative speed and approach vector. You'll hear the Doppler as he overtakes and then cuts you off. If you're going to pipe engine noise into the compartment, at least make it useful.
