Respectfully - and I'm sure i'm just missing something - but I still don't actually understand what you do. The only thing I can see that makes you money is a subscription service to help people how make money on the Internet.
>And if you look back now, Apple were not telling truth or lying by omission.

From reading this, I'd be mad at the bogus/flimsy stock market (and the restrictions on behavior it imposes on companies to satisfy ever more greedy stockholders) rather than Apple here.
So long as policing for revenue and fishing stops exist I don't see how moving violations matter.

So, one reason not to have this as like fifty separate DNS records is that consistency is essential. DNS doesn't provide any consistency guarantees, if you ask "A? foo.example" and "AAAA? foo.example" you are not promised that your answers represent the same moment in time, one of them might be brand new while the other has been cached for six hours and is now obsolete.

For A vs AAAA that's fine, you don't need both to be consistent you just want either of them to work.

For ECH this could mean you get told key A (from yesterday), target name B (just changed now) and port number N (six hours old) and then when you try to connect to port N with key A and target name B that combination doesn't work.

So by bundling everything you need into a single record means the only remaining problem is that a cached record might be out-of-date, an ordinary routine mistake by operators that happens for any DNS records.

The other reason is dirtier and practical: We want all this information to make (for example) a web browser work. So why have the web browser always make fifty queries when there could be one query that encapsulates everything needed?
I believe there's a video on youtube with this, they used a whistle to signal when to stop and change teams. IIRC it was 2 minutes of exposure, followed by hour of cool off time or something like that.

But everytime I hear this story, I got to wonder who would pick up an object generating heat and not question why it's still hot hours later?
It also means you aren't waiting for superchargers, and also it's generally faster to charge if the charging station is empty.
Enforcement is sadly very lacking, possibly swayed by interests, though there is some development on that front.

The law itself is surprisingly reasonable and shouldn't be faulted. The "loopholes" are breaking the law, plain and simple.
Thank you sir! Glad to have played a small role.

I lived in that area for years. And i said homegenous canopy, not monoculture. The blanket canopy works for certain trees, but not for all and certainly not for all animals. Birds like eagles cannot hunt through forrests. Deer dont get as much to eat with diminished sunlight getting to the ground. The edges of clearcuts, the transition from apex canopy to bare soil in the cut, are the most diverse and animal-friendly zones of that forest.
If you are using an Jetbrains IDE (Intellij, CLion, etc) then there is a built-in Database tool that lets you do the same things that Sequel Ace does.
Shouldn’t credit scores be an incentive to become a more thrifty and financially conscientious citizen? I can hardly see how knowing the hardware of my browser is going to incentivize me to spend more responsibly. I can only see this serving in the interest of banks who can grade me as a marginally safer investment.

This seems to be in need of regulation. Unfortunately, Liz Warren was the biggest advocate for consumer financial protection and her state’s governor is a Republican which means she can’t have a Cabinet position because her governor would appoint a Republican to her seat and upend the current Democratic Senate majority. Seems like we’ll be walking toward a social credit system like China after all.
I'm actually working on a side project called Whalebernetes which will allow you to orchestrate groups of virtual Orcas to perform tasks like gather salmon or seals. These Orca groups, or Pods can then be moved between various Oceans as-needed depending on the needs of your business.
I have been using linux(slackware) since the late 90's. You are the first person I have ever seen even suggest that as an idea.
The bill has bipartisan support with the stated goal of improving the quality of journalism, which is a cornerstone of functional democracy.

Public trust in the media is paramount, which is undermined when media organisations can only compete by tailoring their articles to fit into an explicitly commercialised search system.

Google is great for selling products. They’ve built their entire business around selling products. But is news a product, or a service?
> you're likely in the wrong project

The point is there are less project slots for generalists to be in right now.
I doubt if reducing cost can be the only factor. Broadcom chips are going to be pretty much the lowest cost ones because of their scale. It's more likely that they are dreaming up some network architecture that isn't served well by existing solutions.
The article's last three paragraphs are about rooftop farming:

>The immediate opportunity may simply be to take advantage of the space available on urban rooftops
Ah, I see what you mean now. I was taking "computer facing" for strings you don't have to manipulate often.

Though, I am confused, how often are you manipulating a filename? Even strings, in general. Parse? Sure. Manipulate? Seems uncommon.

Formatting, I can grant. But that is different from manipulating a string. More building up from others. And, outside of madlibs, not much you can hope for. Surprising amount of distance from madlibs, I suppose.
PoW is exactly the same. The rich can afford the most hardware and electicity. PoS just short circuits the burning power step. It's also the same as bank interest.
It’s shocking how many people are upset about Tesla and this new design.

How can so many people prefer the status quo in car designs to something new and different?

You really hate Tesla and prefer the current designs from GM?
Some hubris in this post. Claims ASIC resistant PoW is "Solved as far as we can", with Ethash being the near end-all of hashing.

Random-X is a significant step towards ASIC resistance, requiring near general purpose computation to perform efficiently (i.e. if you can build a better CPU than Intel/AMD/ARM, you've already won).

https://github.com/tevador/RandomX/blob/master/doc/design.md

(Random-X requires code JITting, large CPU caches, compliant floating point, SIMD, hardware AES, as well as large amounts of system RAM, and other things.)

Innovation continues. If you stop having ideas, step aside.
Literally the first paragraph of the article:

> Smallpox was one of the worst diseases in human history. It killed an estimated 300 million people or more in the 20th century alone; only tuberculosis and malaria have been more deadly. Its victims were often children, even infants.
Vitalik and ETH are the definitions of scam and scammer. He's very good at obfuscating it by appearing very smart: read his articles and tweets, they always sound complex, but can be rewritten in much simpler terms. And ETH is the same: it obfuscates its uselessness and nonsense by being overly complex, every year employing new terms and coming up with tons of code that only increases the attack surface and complicates things even more.
Or say authorities demanded access to a long lost forum account you haven't used nor remember the password from many years ago. Can they use this to detain people as a loophole... just find accounts you don't use anymore and demand access to all. Seems a dangerous law to allow.
After this I imagine A channel owner intentionally disabling "targeted towards kids" in order to get better CPM via personalized ads would be in violation of COPPA.
Primarily, he seems to think that totalitarianism is not an acceptable solution to any problem. I happen to agree.
Indeed. My point is that supporting an additional name resolution system is mostly a political problem, and technically doable.without forcing people to even upgrade their OS, phone, or browser.
Why would setting up a HN store be worth the time and effort?
fwiw the reference in the blog post about integrity protection and random network noise was a reference to the inadequacy of the tcp/ip checksums for protecting your data from normal network errors of the accidental non-attacking variety.

This is real problem for http cleartext data which data transported over TLS does not have.
Thanks for sharing. Reading this made me think about Jupiter as a ball of fluid in a way I hadn't previously. Now I'm wondering why all of Jupiter's colors haven't mixed together.
Unrestricted immigration would reduce global income inequality. I don't judge the worth of individuals by their nationality, so it is global inequality that I must be concerned about, if income inequality is my concern.
Color is inherently more complex than B&W, so I think you're asking for a unicorn. There's a 3-bath version of E-6 (with all the compromises that entails)... I'm not sure how much simpler color film development can get, short of Polaroid.
I'm not sure the server side is much better. Complex UI is complex wherever you try to implement it. You can say that is not actually possible to create really smooth UI with animations only using server side code. And server side code usually don't want to keep any state at all (to allow the use of multiple servers) which causes a lot of problems. A SPA can keep state and use it if it suits the problem better.
Some of the new js libraries actually looks more developed than most server side ones.
[edit: spelling and a clarification]
Adding extra car lanes will not solve the traffic problem in dense areas. See the pictures that compares public transit density with cars:
http://www.humantransit.org/2012/09/the-photo-that-explains-...

Maybe if everyone car-pooled optimally and we prohibited not-pooling during rush we would not have this problem. My dream world would have more extensive subways in the bay area that runs 24hrs a day so that I can never drive again.
For the time being. It is a concern for the future. For example, here is a tiny super cheap, lens-free camera: http://www.technologyreview.com/news/525731/lens-free-camera...

And there is "super-resolution" which combines multiple low-res pictures (e.g. frames of a video) into a single high resolution image: http://vimeo.com/6608238
Venmo does this, and after much back and forth with their support they still refuse to delete the contacts they stole from my phone. I've since disabled the permission, but I still get push notifications from them after contacts that I had on my phone then join Venmo.

It would be amusing if it weren't so invasive that their support folk claimed that they can't legally delete the stolen contact info because of the PATRIOT Act. Then changed tack and promised to write a feature for it real-soon-now (this was about a year ago and of course hasn't happened).
They're not a con job, they're developing genuinely interesting technology, though I think they're at great risk of being leapfrogged by other systems in the near future.

I upvoted in the hope that I'll find out that "auto-scaling" means it automatically scales to large numbers of reads and/or writes, which would amount to one awesome service. Since pricing is based on storage, I'm inclined to think it only auto-scales to high storage needs. I'm hoping to be wrong. The part where they say release 9.4 brought them within reach technically of what they wanted to do gives me some hope that I'm wrong.
The key phrases there are "almost surely" and "most irrational numbers." There are irrational numbers like pi which can be defined algorithmically, but taken together as a set they have zero Lebesgue measure. (In fact, they're countable.)
> I thought gold reflected 100% of visible light

It depends on how thin it is. There is no 100%, the thinner the more is transmitted (weighted by the curve shown in the linked article). A solid block of steel would be transparent if you illuminated it with enough light.
Ah, fair enough. I stand corrected:)
Another utterly useless comparison, employing the classic marketing trick of ignoring any features which are unique to your competitor.

From TA: "Now, the sticky part: being that we’re an Android-centric blog, there’s an obvious bias. However, I’d like to make it clear that we tried to pick the features used in the comparison as objectively as possible so as not to tip the scales in either direction."

And you failed miserably.

For the record: My phone of choice is a Nexus One.
It is a little annoying, but I usually use Google from within the FF search box, so not a biggie.

Slightly off topic; I never understood why they made elements "Fade in" on their page, either. I assume there is a reason other than it "looking cool"?
I'm not Chilean, but I live here and I've discussed this with Chileans and people abroad. First, the money is not that much (especially for people from richer countries). Second, the idea is not that they are buying a company, but that they are bootstrapping an attitude. And I think that is working. Look at startechconf, dynlangchile, huevapi, first tuesday, etc etc...

PS Are you guys here? Drop me an email when you arrive if you need anything (andrew@acooke.org) although I am not well-connected here it's always nice to chat in English (I'm a programmer - work from home for an American company...).
Thought so - thanks!

There is apparently a lot of hate among the downvoters today. Disagreeing with a pro-OSX comment is death here.
the scope of the gag order was limited to info relevant to the original case, not this new incident.
Since Windows Phone is based on .NET, a lot of changes can be made by Nokia without breaking compatibility with third party applications, e.g. .NET allows multiple versions of a library to exist simultaneously for different applications because it was architected with backwards and forwards compatibility in mind.

Same problem as Google: how do you provide customer service to the 0.1% of customers that have a unique problem that needs human intervention, without it being hidden by the other 99.9% that are asking FAQs?
This is for all intents and purposes exactly what the cryptography maintainers did, except they did one better: they made sure this release is capable of validating the new configuration. They made rust an optional, but on-by-default, dependency. That is the equivalent of #error plus validation. They made it possible to turn this dependency off. That is the equivalent of -DI_UNDERSTAND.

Then why are you saying something as if it is fact? You don't know what is happening there, you've assumed. You're guessing.
They've failed to remove porn from /r/all if they attempted to do so. When free time and boredom show their head, I will randomly go there and inevitably see porn when all I want is the opportunity to see something fresh on the internet.

I suppose reddit is the wrong place to go for such a thing after 2010 and I should have known better!

EDIT: Somewhat related? I've noticed a trend of many OnlyFans-linked accounts participating in random niche subreddits with enticing names like "juicyBODYPART" or whatnot. When you click on their account, you are met with a load of NSFW content and posts asking for you to check out their OnlyFans.

I'm far from a prude, but if I want to view niche content and see what other communities posters are involved in to discover more subreddits, it sucks to be met with this blatant advertising. I have NSFW content unfiltered so I can find it when I want to look for it, but dang.

Usually, their posts in the niche communities feature primarily pictures of themselves doing activities related to the community. The very stereotypical "female body in front of the object" sort of pictures.
Hopefully they completely ignored this and other issues in GTA5 online because they have been working on GTA6 all these years /end sarcasm

But honestly, on a large enough team with a large enough backlog much worse things slip through the cracks. Doesn't excuse this at all though.

Also kudos on the write up! Enjoyed reading it
Until these alerts get better at understanding context of use of a dependency, they're going to remain mostly noise. Regardless, users will obsess over them. As a maintainer, the number of issues that get opened for dependency alerts is just annoying.

No, I don't care about the "low" level vulnerability on a RegExp DDoS possibility of a dependency in my development-time tool that would require a dev to DDoS themselves.
Sample size of one but I use it for porn.
Is this usage pattern not common in your English? It's quite common in mine and is accepted by pretty much everyone without batting an eye, except, maybe, only maybe, some English instructors.

Where are you from?
Unfortunately false. Someone who doesn't like your brand will find the most tasteless place where your ad appears, screenshot it, and tell everyone how you support that content.
Cool. We got the first 120k from I think around 12 companies. It followed close to a power law distribution, very long tail.

Our strategy was to encourage developers to talk to their bosses rather than contribute individually which we think but can’t prove worked well. Basically we tried to get on calls with CTOs and CEOs and explain that this would help the company.
> is foolish to rely on DNS to discern between first-party and third-party

Correct, because first-party / third-party is not a technical difference, but a social/commercial one. The app.example.com may run in a different cloud and be part of the same first-party service.
That just adds character.
Technocracy. I'm not convinced that politicians, bankers, and lawyers can solve the problems our society will face in the coming years. The problem is, things haven't gotten bad enough for true change to be possible. They just keep kicking the can down the road.
I use the same paper. I absolutley love the softcover grid books. The cover is not quite paper- it's more like leather.
I have only a little experience here (I realized I very nearly burned out once but only after I narrowly avoided it mostly through luck) but personally I find the best way to ward off burnout is realistic planning.

He absolutely nails it when he says:
The best way to stop burnout is to avoid it entirely through balanced behavior and thinking.

It's definitely important for an employee to pace himself appropriately but it's also equally important for milestones from on high (whether they be one week or 2 months out (any non-vague deadline planned for longer than 2-3 months is bound to be ripe with failure)) to be both realistic and challenging. Not 24 hour death march challenging, challenging that you have to plan your time appropriately and, when working, you work efficiently.

In my experience the major driver of burnout is bad planning. I also think this is a large part of why our type prefer startups. Because startups do very little planning compared to BigCos, it's mostly up to the employees to manage their time effectively. Of course, the pressure is there to do as much as you can but it's tempered by not having completely arbitrary nonnegotiable deadlines that you absolutely have to come through on. (The deadlines you do have to come through on in startups are usually not arbitrary which makes a world of difference when trying to meet them.) When planning is out of sync with provided value it burns people out.
'There is another theory which states that this has already happened' -- DNA

Stross says: 'I have a gut feeling that the reason we're so communicative is that we are, at a very fundamental level, a communication phenomenon'

If spamming can be described very broadly as being an attempt to get other people to do something beneficial to yourself without guaranteeing a benefit to them equal to their expenditure, you could also use this as one functional description of human communication in general. (If you look at the transactions involved instead of the information, this applies to everything from hunting antelope to building the LHC.) In other words, there are already meat-based spambots whose susceptibility to spam (we have needs) helps them develop their own spamming techniques.

And later: 'there are other routes to a Vingean Singularity. Augmented intelligence, as opposed to artificial intelligence, is one such route'

The classic sci-fi question that emerges from this is 'Which (meat or silicon) is augmenting which?' And if augmentation is such an obvious idea to humans, why would software-based spam systems simply accept their natural handicap in Turing tests rather than integrate meat-based features (e.g. Mechanical Turk, social networking)?

Probably the clearest example of this is in SEO, in which 'predator' software is designed to produce large quantities of pseudo-human communication: both 'content' and activity traces such as hyperlinking, all in order to manipulate 'prey' software (SEs) into doing favours, in the form of high rankings. Humans are involved in the chain as article writers, captcha solvers, comment spammers, retweeters, blogger-reviewers etc. but the start and end of the chain, from keyword discovery to conversion analysis, are highly machine-centric.
I came to a similar conclusion, but I think the flip always looks and feels a little off. I prefer the page slide like the NYTimes website optimized for Chrome. Not a continuous slide, but a slide from one page to the next.
Mongo, Express, Angular, Node. Specifically this right here: ->https://github.com/DaftMonk/generator-angular-fullstack

I've also heard good things about Foundation (https://github.com/zurb/foundation) for getting things mobile/responsive out the box.

For actual html5 mobile apps -- ionic (https://github.com/driftyco/ionic)
The thing to ask yourself is 'what if everybody did this'? If it doesn't work if everybody did this then it's not good. HN survives by virtue of people more-or-less being well behaved. It won't take a large number of people that submit 5 trash links to their content-free website before it will stop to work because the good stuff will be drowned right out.
> Intuitively, I think the Millenial generation cares less about ways to show material wealth

I want to believe that, but, you know, "millenials" are still human beings, too. I'm going to err on the side of them being just as vain as the rest of us...

Rather, the article mentions that millenials are more inclined to spend money on "experiences" than shiny baubles -- but thanks to social networks, experiences are the new shiny baubles. And even more effectively so: In the past, when your s/o dropped a months worth of pay on jewelry for you, you could still only show it off to people you saw in-person. Now, when your s/o pays for you to go on vacation, you have status updates and photo sharing to show everyone you've ever known just how conspicuous your consumption is.

All that said, I know I've read articles that state (and it certainly seems reasonable) that people who spend their money on experiences rather than material goods tend to be happier. So maybe it's overall a net positive.
