I am asking for a filter for my personal feed. I am mot asking for a filter for other people. Sorry I didn't make that clear. This has weak potential for a claim under English law. If I am a person with an addiction to alcohol I might ask YouTube to make a reasonable adjustment: not to show me alcohol adverts.

Allowing users some granularity over ads makes sense for everyone. I am never going to buy nor rent a car so showing me car ads is stupid. Allow me to opt out of seeing car ads and the advertisers save money and the content I'm watchig doesn't get negative associations and I am less likely to install ad blocking software.

But if I create a video and host it on YouTube I would want to prevent adverts for gambling or alcohol to appear next to that video. I'm not sure this is offerred by Google.

Not really, it's more of a win for Stripe, a YC company, so it's news for them.
Yes, by inheriting the OpenSolaris legacy, illumos was essentially born in production, having been used in production very nearly since its inception. We at Joyent have our own illumos-derivative, SmartOS[1], that is the foundation of our own public cloud -- and of our (open source) orchestration software, SmartDataCenter[2] and of our object storage system, Manta[3]. OmniTI has OmniOS[4] which they (and others) have deployed extensively into production. Delphix (the origin of this post) has DelphixOS[5] which forms the basis of their data management virtual appliances, also widely deployed in production. Finally, if you're interested in the (complicated) history of the system, you might be interested in a talk that I gave a few years ago[6] that is somewhat infamous for its candor. ;)

I have fallen into this pitfall myself a couple of times. Trying to write reusable generic code on the idea that we would be able to reuse it later for a similar project, but in practice it almost never happens. New projects end up being way too different anyway and in the end it took more time to try to make generic reusable code for usuable by two projects rather than simply writing the two projects with completely seperate code bases.
illumos was already being used in production in 2010. Its development model is very much as the linked article implies -- every commit is expected to be stable, since the tree should always be stable.

If you're looking for a general server OS, use OmniOS. If you're running armies of VMs, use SmartOS. For desktop, OpenIndiana Hipster, although illumos is more for servers.

Personally, I'm fond of SmartOS, in large part because it comes with pkgsrc. The bad old Solaris days, with its anemic packages, blastwave and sunfreeware, are long gone.
This supports the theory that between 50%-80% of outages are caused by human error

Not quite - in this case, a single human error then triggered a series of latent and undiscovered bugs in the system itself. It's a confluence of small events that makes for a large-scale problem like this.
There's a quote I found interesting that hasn't been noted here yet:

"This required the time-consuming process of physically relocating excess server capacity from across the US East Region and installing that capacity into the degraded EBS cluster."

And if I read this description of the re-mirror storm correctly, I think that implies Amazon had to increase the size of it's EBS cluster in the affected zone by 13%, which considering the timeline seems fairly impressive.
Spending a few billions on startups (who would spend it?) would not alter the long term balance between startups and wall street.
.NET isn't what allows that to happen, though, since, AFAIK, MS has not committed to binary compatibility between .NET versions. While the framework makes it easier to leverage these features(you can still use it with non-managed C++ but it's quite annoying to get working), the Windows kernel is what allows the multiple versions to exist.

In the case of .NET, it's the side-by-side deployment of the .NET runtimes that allow multiple versions to be present on the system at the same time.
For the most part, my most recent Dell laptop (Purchased 11/2010) wifi and sound worked great out of the box... actually my last 3 computers that's worked fine (speaking in the realm of Ubuntu)

Suspend / Hibernate still pretty flakey IMO :(
The argument against this is that a URL starting with https means something, at least to some users and your proposal would undermine that. When I want to go to my bank, I type chase into the address bar and choose one of the suggestions that starts with https and then go about my business. Maybe I should be paying attention to whether or not there's a green lock in the upper left and maybe I'd notice if it were missing, but I don't intentionally look for for the lock. In your proposed change, the absence of a lock icon would be the only way I'd notice if my connection were being MITM'ed. So, in that way it would be making the web less secure for users who are entering an https URL and expect it to be secure.

That's what's attractive to me about Firefox's opportunistic encryption proposal. It really makes no change in the UX compared to an unencrypted connection, not in the URL and not in the time to connect.
Does this mean you should do immediate public disclosure when you find bugs now?
Just don’t use ”infotainment” when driving. Changing the lights and wipers or heating the windows isn’t infotainment and should be dedicated buttons you can find without taking your eyes of the road.

But changing the car setup, choosing a navigation destination or changing playlists? Excellent on touchscreens. Almost impossible to even make well any other way. So don’t do that while driving! That touchscreen has 3 uses 1) as a read only screen for the driver when driving 2) as an interactive screen for the driver when parked 3) as an interactive screen for the passenger.

What’s important is to not conflate entertainment and setup on one hand and driving on the other. Those are completely different use cases and need completely different interfaces.

If a car brand puts lights or wiper controls on the touchscreen please don’t call it “infotainment”. It’s like putting the steering wheel on the touch screen. It’s driving controls. They don’t belong there.
The obvious fix here is not to store your molotov cocktails next to your regular cocktails.
How to say that in english ...

I was very young at this area , but we exchanged a lot of pirated game in school when we was 10 :)

We even find way to copy password manual protection by copying the disk or tunning the photocopier for the password manual in red.

During the school recreationnal time we talked a lot about games and we exchanged games, there was always someones who had a cousin or an uncle.

Great time, i owe a lot to this time and games.

I buy it now as much as i can (gog , re edition etc ...)

I get the atari at this time , and a lot of my friends too. I remember that i may have buy only one game or two with my pocket money because the package and manual were awsome. At this time the box and manuals was what makes me buy games more than pirate then :)
Which sucks. I arrive in a new country, and need to find internet access???
So you’re saying “sow discord” is a no-go
Tesla apparently voids your battery warranty if you use the car as a stationary power source. That's mentioned in tiny print in the warranty documentation someplace. I haven't seen this myself, but people mentioned it during the recent Texas blackout where many people had the idea of using a BEV as a battery bank.
This is a really interesting idea. When you decide on a license, I'll be diving into this for sure.
> Linguists have discovered that this is not pantomime.

Here is a recent article that covers this in significant depth: https://www.glossa-journal.org/articles/10.5334/gjgl.499/

The emergence of Nicaraguan Sign Language is a very revealing case is this regard: in much the same process as creolization, a sort of "pidgin" of home signs was transformed into a full sign language in a generation by "grammaticalizing" gestures and simple home signs from older children by the younger children. So it doesn't take long for a gesture to move right on Kendon's continuum until its fully "linguistic".

It does - it provides advertisers data on which users have downloaded their app after seeing specific adverts.
The Google and Cloudflare servers are resolving DNS servers. There are no publicly available resolving DNS servers in the standard DNS system, because the DNS protocol as offered by DNS resolvers is vulnerable to a traffic amplification attack, and only large entities like Google and Cloudflare can afford to spend the resources needed to mitigate that. Of course, Google and Cloudflare don’t do it out of the kindness of their hearts; by monitoring the DNS traffic, they gain enormous insight into what everybody is doing.
Unfortunately, criminals are in the habit of breaking the law...
If the startup is venture backed, the mission is creating shareholder value. The rest is just lip service. You should know as much too.
I sense that you don't have much experience yet otherwise this would be fairly obvious.

You sense wrong. Anyway, I don't disagree with your first point, and it doesn't refute mine.

The point here is that no-one should get extra "rank" just by being experienced. If that extra experience doesn't help you out-compete someone without it then you might as well not have it.

Perhaps Peter Thiel is a bigger defector, but too 'eccentric' for the New Yorker's politics.
I love the idea of billionaires sitting together thinking they are geniuses, ensuring the demise of the entire world with their buffoonery.
How does health insurance mitigate against this, group or otherwise?

A better short-term disability policy would have helped me, but health insurance wouldn't have helped me find a job.
Even if the search form uses POST, the server does read the parameter if it's specified in the querystring. That is, https://duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=asdf works, so adding it as a search engine with URL .../?q=%s should work as well.
The infamous rewrites that Joel Spolsky once urged to never do, are those where development on the current version is halted while a brand new version is developed from scratch and then launched with a big bang. Without answering the question directly, web applications are some of the easiest to rewrite gradually, endpoint by endpoint. Especially in PHP, where requests are stateless. You could start a new thing in the middle of the old thing and slowly let it take over, while already live and working in tandem with the old parts.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to respond to this in depth. I hear the questions. There just isn't always time to give an in-depth response everywhere. You're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com, as long as you don't mind unpredictable response latencies.
Got it. So, if a startup is using Stripe to charge, I assume Stripe is able to pass that revocation on to the startup?
Right, my point was that I would assume that the standard pre-check program would also work for international flights, even without Global Entry, but that Global Entry was a potential complicating factor in my experiences.
Yet another article that loves to talk about how important gross margin in SaaS is, but tip toes around its definition.

Out of curiosity - how does this audience calculate what is included in the 'cost' / 'cogs' part of the equation?

My take - if the cost is required to maintain the continued ability for the customer to meaningfully use the SaaS application, then it's a COGS. This would mean the following should be typically COGS:

- Fully loaded infrastructure costs (Hosting / Web Services / sys admin personnel)

- Support personnel (fully loaded personnel costs)

Also, GM for professional services and SaaS subscriptions should be maintained separately.

If you calculate GM for subscriptions appropriately, you can tell A LOT about profitability or potential for profitability of a SaaS company.
> I am talking about people with multiple years of full-time experience in the field and a relevant degree who cannot even implement a basic FizzBuzz.

I'm sure all of them can implement FizzBuzz, just not on the interview under pressure. It has absolutely nothing to do with competence, but understanding that requires just a little bit of background in human psychology.
There are quite a few physical conditions that are commonly accepted to be largely psychosomatic in origin, including things like osteoarthritis. While it's probably true that the term translates to "it's all in your head" to most folks, a better translation is probably "it's mostly from your head". Stress and tension aren't just metaphorical; they're usually accompanied by actual physical/mechanical manifestations that can sometimes have a devastating and irreversible effect on joints, tendons and other assorted bits of framing, machinery and plumbing. (It shouldn't be surprising to find that the discomfort and dysfunction feed back into the emotional state, compounding the problem.) And that's just from long-term, low-level stuff that people tend to try to ignore. I can't recall running across a physician with any real experience (interns are another matter) who hasn't had a solid grasp of that concept.
True, the transition into industry or a startup spinoff is much more direct in CS, making it a lower-risk enterprise.

Even so, Matt Might (who is a CS prof) writes, 'There are few good reasons to get a Ph.D. "Because you want to become a professor" might be the only good one.' [1]

The idea of genius and brilliance as something you earn, that is the combination of hard work, an open mind, the right mix of humility and hurbis, and the right circumstances, is a profound change in how we view our world.

I hope it's true, because we currently focus our resources and attention on those who are labelled "gifted" early on, instead of building on the idea of life as a constant process of re-imagination and education. If this is true, then there are geniuses the world over, and we just need to tap their potential.

"I am somehow less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould
In science, as well as in other fields of human endeavor, there are two kinds of geniuses: the “ordinary” and the “magicians.” An ordinary genius is a fellow that you and I would be just as good as, if we were only many times better. There is no mystery as to how his mind works. Once we understand what he has done, we feel certain that we, too, could have done it. It is different with the magicians. They are, to use mathematical jargon, in the orthogonal complement of where we are and the working of their minds is for all intents and purposes incomprehensible. Even after we understand what they have done, the process by which they have done it is completely dark. They seldom, if ever, have students because they cannot be emulated and it must be terribly frustrating for a brilliant young mind to cope with the mysterious ways in which the magician’s mind works. Richard Feynman is a magician of the highest caliber.

--Mark Kac

I think it's probably best if we don't deify too many geniuses, but I think it's fair to say that there are a handful in history where, even had we been exposed to all of the diverse experiences they had, we still wouldn't hope to equal.
Fix the patent system.
The current implementation of futures uses a thread pool. I'm planning on changing this a bit to behave more like Io's actor model.
Bad internet is not just a thing in developing nations.

It is also an issue in developed countries as soon as you leave the cities. And factories are often in rural areas.

E.g. in Germany, as soon as you leave the big cities, the options are atrocious. I live in a very rich and touristy village in the German alps.

I get 50 mbit/s DSL, which is actually just 25mbit/s down because the wires are so bad.

For comparison: in rural Romania, I get gigabit fiber to the premise for an eye-watering 10 EUR / month...

HOMAGE TO THE SYNONYM
(On reading of Dhana~njaya's N amam al a in K.A. Nilakanta Sastri's A History of South India)
Kovalam Beach, Kerala
12th June 2011

I felt it strange to read today some news of writers past,
Their time was one of heterogeneity; sectarian views surpassed.
[Though sectarianism has now taken hold; and o ffered much up to Shiva. Jains, Buddhists and Ajivikas: all gone, save bits in literature.]

The passage that stirred interest, perhaps it's not of note,
But an ancient `lexicon of synonyms' - what type of person wrote?
Well in those times of philosophy, many literate were courtiers
Those commissioned men could run amok; quite di fferent to what's taught here!
[Though of freedoms known back in the past, we've not yet lost a single;
For words remain like cocktails; a great joy to mix and mingle.]

To reflection's fruit: the synonym, it's sacred to the core,
Turning misconceptions of inequitability, it's something of a door.
It has been said, with few against, that language has a mid:
"The verb to be" (or is/was/will be, in our poor contorted chit).

Yet my subject's not, as etymology'd posit, mere beast of straight assignment,
But another way to subtlety, word choice and thought alignment.

Its operands, once a ffixed, are viewed in context and kind,
Just as yoga might work limbs and flesh: en-route to still the mind.

Younger, I gave a speech on her: those notions of 'to be',
Through an ancient Chinese philosophical school - Logicians, mon cheri!

Their language one of ambiguity and subtleties aplenty,
Compare our Indo-Aryan pauper writ, with so few words for "empty"!

And of languages designed now for an audience of machines,
They cannot seek to replicate our great linguistic genes.
Of Daoists we did not take heed: fighting nature, reaping pain

Now as never we need a champion, to help disembark this train.
"Without further ado!" I shall then move for a humble nomination
Of the synonym as an ailment for our present day conflagration.
Ehh, it's not quite that unidimensional. Kids also used to roam freely around the neighborhood, and find the stash of porn mags in the local hobo camp.
Yes, but that was removing someone's ability to control access to something. That is, they -have- taken something from someone else; control of an idea. That's irrespective of code (and, in fact, I don't think I recall seeing code listed as something Levandowski took, but rather schematics and blueprints and the like). I.e., Levandowski was not sued for 'stealing' code (by copying it onto a thumb drive); after all, Waymo still had the code. He was sued for stealing the ability to control access from Waymo.

But that furthers my point - this semantic game obscures the core point, which I think everyone agrees on.
> Unions depress wages for top performers

Someone better let Lebron James know!

> then what precisely are they defending their users _from_?

You are replying to a poor argument from the parent poster, they don't have to be protecting anyone, it's fine for them to simply say "I don't want that jerk at my party"

> Your corporation has no natural right to exist

Natural right is a weird qualifier, some corps have a legal right or privilege to exist depending on "must grant" or "may grant" in the locality.

> and therefore does not have the natural right to do business solely as it pleases

Well sure, they aren't allowed to ban people for their membership in a protected class, e.g. their race or disability for the same reason that they aren't allowed to sell cocaine or kill people, because the law prohibits all of those things.
You wrongly assumed that I think police unions are fine. Most unions end up proliferating toxic practices.
According to Wikipedia, $15/hr full time amounts to the median wage in Berkeley County, South Carolina, and it is more than double that state's minimum wage.
No, this is not complicated. I have hard times believing people on HN are that dumb, so stop pretending.
To me it sound more like parents are lacking parental control.
Another manager here.

I don't automatically do this. I want to know why, and what their value proposition is.

People have things happen and reasons and goals for wanting to change their comp, and frankly, that goes both ways. I've had people want less and to change roles for very similar reasons.

Replacement is expensive, so is commitment and vision. For some people, yes. It's a trigger for replacement. For others, it's a time to discuss keeping everybody healthy and productive.

And there could be options too. Perhaps more money isn't optimal. Nobody knows, until there is a discussion.
This will come off as glib but screw it: New York City is art.

20 minutes riding the subway from point A to point B will give you a better glimpse of what it means to be alive than any curated show or painting. Everybody but the ultra-rich ride together in the same cars everyday. In most other cities people are insulated in their car/work bubble and only the disabled and poor take public transportation. This mingling is what makes living in NYC significant to me.
Seems to work fine if displays are not separate spaces. I switched to that very quickly.
Thanks for the info. Very interesting info.
Thanks a lot for the advice.

About linking to the live versions of the website, the reason I did not do that was because, most of the work displayed are design only and were coded by the client themselves. Only a few of the designs were coded by Nathan (such as the VLC one), and not all the designs are online yet. Instead of linking to the live versions for some of them, I decided it was more important to maintain consistency and just link to larger versions for all of them.
I was especially perplexed by him drinking a Red Bull to get through the rest of the day, and immediately following that with shots of Scotch.
Indeed,

A better article actually could make an argument against intellectual property. This one... Sheesh... My googling says the Bettman Archive is underground for it's own preservation and being slowly digitized. How could that be a problem in itself.
Forget about the phone market for a second.

What I want is for Android to replace Windows Mobile 5 in all those annoying Symbol barcode scanner and other data entry devices - ever priced them out? $1500-2000 for a basic model on a dead-end platform with horrible dev support.

I really want to know where are the industrial portables based on Android or another unix variant? Imagine being able to write a web app with hooks into all the data entry bells and whistles that a device like that could have.
Sounds like the kind of thing ALEC would push through for someone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Legislative_Exchange_...
Is ABA an issue here? "Replace A by X*A" should be perfectly fine if an atomic swap gives you A back, since it means it was actually A at the time when you perform the swap. That it was B a moment go doesn't seem to matter.
