The people that work at and own the corporation get representation, just like people that don’t. Why should being involved in a corporation give you more representation than others?

In the past, land (and slave) owners got more representation than others. All sorts of games can be played (and have been) to make sure the “right” people control the outcome of elections.
People need to stop assuming scientists are magic and can figure out the final answer instantly before all the evidence is in.
My office is now in storage because they canceled the lease. When I get back to the office the developers and sys/net admins will be hotdesking until they can figure out what to do with us.
I don't think they are going to implement it. It's too juicy financially to do so. Furthermore, it's bad PR to say they aren't going to do it. So they will keep stringing us along as long as they can.

Well, that's what the incentives would suggest.
Incredible, thank you!

I believe expanding the simple version into a decently robust rendering engine will be the ultimate way for me to learn CSS.

Thanks so much again!
Author here. Unfortunately, a lot of this "conceptual" content doesn't really exist, just because there aren't that many people who work on web browsers, plus it takes a lot of work to get a comprehensive view.

I wrote up this guide about CSS floats, for example: https://pavpanchekha.com/blog/css-floats.html
It is just about complete, but it also took me about a year of work to get that understanding (from reading the spec, reading browser code, trying many many examples) and it lead to a published paper. And even then, it doesn't talk about negative top margins or refer to actual implementations!
Indeed, Silicon should be seen as a glue between low level http libraries, a message encoding format, others externals resources like databases, and your actual API.

You can use it with microhttpd, or any other network libraries (the current version provides backends to cpp-netlib and mimosa https://github.com/abique/mimosa).
Future integration with websocket library is planned.

Don't know much about proxygen but it seems like the goal of the project are similar: Ease the writing of high performance C++ web APIs.
However, when reading proxygen echo sample [1], I would say that silicon has a higher level of abstraction.

I think the strategy has shifted in terms of just trying to get people tested. It's a pandemic. Now, we're just trying to figure out how make sure the health system can serve those who really need it.

Here's a news article about the Diamond Princess. There's an accompanying paper, but it might take me some time to find it. Another paper about the experience in Wuhan reported a similar figure.

I never directly follow hyperlinks a page that I'm still reading. Instead I middle-click to open them in a new tab, and continue reading in my current tab until I'm done (or until I get stuck and need the info from a linked page to continue). Only then will I look at the new tabs. This works pretty well for maintaining concentration, but it's only accessible to users who understand tabbed browsing and go out of their way to develop the habit.

I wonder if a better interface than footnotification would be to make the hyperlinks not immediately open the new page, but instead add the linked page to a list displayed at the bottom or side of the document. This way, you could click on any links that seem interesting and get a list of them to follow later.
I don't use a homepage at all, when I launch my browser it takes me to a blank page and I request what I want directly. I really don't like to be distracted by a default home page.
Man, I love living in the future.
Vimperator can definitely do all the things you listed though flash objects in a page can be an exception. Once the browser hands focus to the flash object, it's up to the flash object to have a shortcut to give it back. Some do, some don't.

It does have a bypass mode for javascript heavy sites like gmail, with builtin shortcuts. Some sites present issues with link detection, but vimperator is highly highly customizable, so given enough effort you can make almost anything work.

There is also a chrome plugin called vimium that has a smaller feature set.

I also found this:
http://conkeror.org/
But I have not tried it. It appears to be a customized version of firefox with emacs style shortcuts.
Having worked for UCLA, Sylvan Learning Centers, Kaplan Test Prep, The College Network, Grockit, and Veritas Prep has taught me that there is a lot you can teach someone in a classroom, but there is so much more you can't.

Some of the best musicians in the world are self-taught, because you can learn as much or more about jazz in a smoky nightclub as you can in the halls of Julliard.

That said, there are thousands of classically-trained musicians in symphony orchestras around for every Miles Davis or Jimi Hendrix. It could be that we only notice the hackers turned entrepreneur superstars because they get so much exposure in the tech world. I bet there are a lot of businesses started by MBA's that aren't as glamorous as Google or Facebook.
Yes. They fixed the bug within a few hours, and yes, it was not our intention.
That looks incredibly cool, and must have been so much fun to work on. I could imagine someone making a homebrew version with maybe a few year's tinkering in a garage and with a compiler.
Ah. Sorry for the misleading title then.
There's a great (and beautiful) cookbook like this that I've bought for a ton of my friends:

http://www.amazon.com/Real-Simple-Meals-Made-Easy/dp/1603208...

Super simple, talks you through every process (including how to chop food, how to slice, etc) and very nice typography for the graphics nerds out there.

Yes, you have to spend $15 but it's well worth it. Everything is fresh, healthy, and fast.
Because despite what the CSS purists say, tables work damn well for laying out content.
The top items don't seem to be very controversial, but instead seem to be "things that good programmers think are true, and bad ones don't."

Here's mine: if you haven't gone through a respectable 4 year CS program, odds are I'm not going to want to hire you since your brain isn't wired to think about algorithms and data structures instead of code and servers.
Check the DNS first, that eliminates most of them. If there's no DNS record, you have to do a whois check.

How close is that again? :p
It doesn't claim to be HTML5 to begin with.
Do daily fluctuations even matter, especially at startups?

I'm pretty sure even big companies have bad months. It's not a reason to start firing people left and right.
Their margins aren't that high. They charge 5%, and I think ~3% goes to Amazon, so on this they'll make ~$20k.

And since most projects are much smaller, I'd guess that in an average month, $1M is roughly the sum of all of their pledges. $20k/month is not a lot to run a business on. So I'd guess that they've taken investment.
Because it works. No mucking about with CSS overflows, stuff that jumps to the next line, things that don't align, etc.
Most "inside information" is spread by watercooler talk anyway -- which is a lot less common when products are separated by building.

The number one source for insider Microsoft information is Microsoft interns. Why? We're in almost every product division in Microsoft and we have our own inter-departmental social groups. I heard of some serious insider information not just on MS, but on Intel, Nvidia, etc. just from hanging out and drinking with the other interns on weekends.
The question mark inside quote marks thing has annoyed me for years. I'm sure my English teacher taught me that you should always put it inside the quotation mark, but it doesn't seem logical to me...
It's more than that, it's also a giant office building.

Here is the previous (large) HN discussion on this topic, there is nothing new in the blog post linked to here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1965686
The template language is definitely faster than it, however currently the only database backend that PyPy has (that Django supports) is SQLite. At the moment SQLite is super slow on PyPy, because it's written using ctypes, we have an open branch to take ctypes from super slow to super fast (basically inline the ASM calls directly into JIT'd code, rather than make calls through libffi).
Honestly, that came out wrong; I meant, _report_ what the society will see as unacceptable deviations (e.g the lies) not actually lie themselves.
We were speaking about the speeds on internet connections and their hypothetical need to be stated in bits. No good argument for that exists today. You've provided an architectural detail for something most people won't know about and broadly doesn't matter when speaking of the internet besides.
Any software can have an option to upload a bug report when user chooses too. But not automaticly when it want's too.

(EDIT) I agree, everyone should have at leat one air-gap (so called "family garden" in the article) computer in there house when shit hits the fan. Like no internet :-)

(EDIT-2) This article gives a very cool idea about "heirloom computer". The author should come up with such a product based on Raspberry Pi (maybe?). Than sell it with basic custom OS and software for the family. This software should include things like diary, notes, racipts, jokes, photos, video storage. It should be sold relatively cheap so anyone could buy it.
The browser is silicon valley's weapon of choice in its war against humanity. Don't think of it as updating. Think of it as reloading.
Primary policing duties are conducted by the Capitol Police, which are controlled by the Congress. However, they aren't really equipped for managing armed insurrections. So, in situations such as these they depend on the executive branch to provide support which may come from the FBI, national guard, or other agencies, which generally requires authorisation from the President.
Gold has practical and decorative uses
- The parent comment brought up full-hd monitors (1080p), which have 2/3 the pixels of 1440p.

- The parent-parent comment suggests that a single high resolution monitor is a good solution for people in general. I am suggesting that a 1440p monitor at 27-inch is a better choice than a 6k monitor, for people in general, taking cost into account.

- You could get five 1440p monitors for 1/6 the price of this 6k.

- As resolution increases you get diminishing returns.

- 1440p, 27-inch is a sweet spot, imo.
There is some confusion on this front. Apparently Miranda gave them either the keys to the encrypted devices, the passwords to his online accounts or both.

It should be possible to clear this up but I can't find a direct quote of either Miranda or Greenwald on the matter.
" Last week's A-Level results show only 245 girls took A-Level computing this year, compared with 5,153 who took Spanish. This is a decline of 1.3% from last year, despite the fact that the few girls who took A-Level computing outperformed boys."

A 1.3% decline means that three fewer girls took A-Level computing this year, doesn't it?

The liberal arts are very much worth doing. I was a liberal arts major, and have three regrets: I should have studied math further (bailed out after multi-variable calculus and differential equations; I should have studied more foreign languages; and I should have realized that computing did not begin and end with Fortran IV entered onto punch cards. (Yes, this was all a while ago.)
Sounds horrible, for that exact reason I use SugarSync and Live Mesh together to have stuff on multiple platforms. And I email lots of things to gmail: very easy with the drag and drop support in Chrome.
I personally find that once you loose routine from exercise you do it less.

I've often thought that it would be better if you could find others that regularly want to exercise doing something that you also enjoy at the same time, but I've not figured out a way to do this. Somet like sports-buddy.com would be the idea there I guess.

I also found that late night exercise was actually a hinderance to sleep. A problem when the most popular time slot for badminton is 8pm til 10pm which is too late for me I've found.

Leaving work early to play badminton 6 til 8 worked much better for me, both in terms of better exercise and sleeping better, but I did find that if I didn't eat a snack mid afternoon (3.30ish) then my energy levels dropped off too quick.

I'm slowly getting better at exercising again through going for regular small bike rides, but hope to get my shoulder injury seen to with the new companies healthcare soon, which I hope will mean more badminton again next year :)

So, perhaps it's more the finding a sport that interests more than gym and swimming, and provides some social interaction is what we're all looking for?
If I had a free ride for school, I would finish my bachelor's in environmental resource management, get a master's in urban planning and then get additional (advanced) training in GIS. But that's me.

I concluded I wanted a bachelor's in environmental studies and a master's in urban planning after having an eye-opening experience and realizing I wanted to do something with the built environment. I then went through college catalogues (which might be easier today, with the internet) and made a list of majors that had something to do with the built environment (including civil engineering and architecture). I eliminated civil engineering because it required so much calculus (a class I dropped out of and never want to see again) and I eliminated architecture because it would involve basically starting from scratch when I already had a couple of years of college. I don't recall what the other majors were, but I thoroughly looked at the requirements for each before finally settling on urban planning (then life got in the way and I have been sidetracked for some time and have no even finished my bachelor's).

Perhaps a similar approach would help you pick a major?

Good luck with this.
How about Redis? If someone more knowledgable could please answer say... a Redis vs. CouchDB argument for node from a data storage/semantic perspective. Having contributed to redis-node-client, I know it has good support. And Redis's orientation as a data-structure store does seem more appealing.
A quick look at their pricing suggests 6 cents a page, but a $60 setup fee. For 10 books at 100 pages each, that is effectively 12 cents a page (averaging in the setup fee).

Self-publishers might want to consider Lulu.com, with low per-page costs, and apparently no setup fee.
I do the same thing running every day... running with a headset should be forbidden :)
Yeah, Flash is just broken in many ways :)

We have to weigh the performance impact against making sites simply unusable. I've seen so many times where I just can't click dropdown menus or lightbox content because Flash covers interfaces.
Already up about $2.70 (8%) in pre-market trading. Looking to be very good.

There is still value in being able to securely communicate in the present even if you are not able to maintain a permanently searchable log of all activity.

You are assuming that a high performance, latency tuned system is using the OS network stack. This would be a petty naive implementation. Offerings from Solarfalre (OpenOnload) and Exablaze (ExaSock) transparently offload and bypass the kernel stack. Quoted performance numbers are around 1us, of which 500ns is spent getting up and down the PCIE bus. Offloading to the nic makes a whole lot of sense in this space except that it has already been done, and with more compelling perfomance. The authors compleltly failed to take into account existing work.
I wish these videos all had links back to the HN discussion.

Hmm... maybe I could script something...

You won't displace entrenched technology with an entirely different model, no matter how good. Sorry, this is just a pipe dream.

The real competition for the web are the walled gardens of iOS and Android App development.
> The main problem with the elevator, in my opinion, for many years already is not in the strength of the material. After all, nanotubes are known for many years, and their properties are sufficient for the tether, so in principle it can be done.

You say that now, but I remember that years ago, when nanotubes were hailed as the material that would make the space elevator possible, people quickly pointed out that nanotubes were still not strong enough to carry their own weight over such a tremendous distance.

What changed? Why are nanotubes now strong enough?
I think the HURD logo is actually quite good. They should use a different typeface though. And you can't really complain about the MIT Scheme one, that's exactly what it is :) (although it too could benefit from a nicer typeface for the Y combinator equation). GNU Parallel has a great idea but also, I think, needs a better typeface.

But the recutils one... WTF!?
The logos for Gimp and GNUstep aren't too bad. Hurd's logo would be okay too, if they changed the font.
This is interesting. Essentially, if offshore development work is done somewhere that a significant subsidy is involved, it may be illegal according to WTO and US trade rules, if the digital product itself is defined under the same regulations as "manufactured goods." It seems that the MPAA has actually weighed in on a separate anti-piracy measure regarding 3d printers, where they argue that digital works should be regarded as manufactured goods with the same protections.
Rational but self-serving (I don't like that law; I'll pretend to be a public-access crusader and hey, get my movies for free why not)
The comedian Doug Stanhope has a bit where he talks about how it's OK to drop litter, because the whole City/Town you live in is a giant piece of litter on the natural landscape. He's obviously only kidding, but it's quite a nice (if slightly sad) way to reflect on our impact on the planet.
When you're a child, language acquisition isn't a zero sum game.
> The truth is that millions of people a year travel, and don't have any problems.

He's not worried about being one of those that won't have any problems.

He's worried about becoming one of those that did and that chance is way too high.
Ahhh. I just see the CEO pay as being "little." I mean, a good dev can earn that much.

I know several ~30 person companies where the CEO/owner is making at least 1mil a year after bonuses.

It's insane. I'd love to see what you linked more often - highest salary (they did start the company) but not by a factor of 10! So it just got me curious.
Feeling sad would imply that you hold some respect to the judges that decided who won, but I think Time magazine just lost the respect of many readers. I'm kinda sad for them, not for Assange.
Some feedback:

- tabs should be reversed. They make no sense as is.
- the orange down arrow top right needs to go or change. Looks like it's pointing at the tab for a reason. Nothing about the design suggests that I should interact with it to slide down a contact form, etc.
- maybe ditch the cents on the prices, they just make the numbers look bigger.
- you have "Terms" mixed in with side-projects in your footer; perhaps differentiate them?
- the site is called "themeESC" in the footer, but "themEsc" in the domain and branding.
- not sure about the gradient on the logo text. It's the only place you've used a gradient in the design (ignoring shadows).
- the pulldown has a shadow, but the logo/mark don't.
- if the site is about themes, put that tab before and far more prominent than 'Products'
- sandwiches might bring a point of difference, but this section is just a load of wank (sorry to be blunt):

"I am fervently altruistic in my desire to serve up fun, intuitive and elegant products that bring the humanity back to online interaction."

You really need to rework that paragraph!

Hope this helps.
Indeed! there are many other things we absolutely need to cover. Like the joint strike fighter. It catches on fire too often to actually fly much, but when it does, boy howdy. the absolute best thing for shooting down those ISIS terror-jets.
The problem with the new site is that it boasts a tiny fraction of the SO user count. It's just harder to get good answers on a site with so few active users. The same is true for programmers.stackexchange, where code review type questions end up.

With "very low chance at a high payout" bets you have to be very careful at various institutional and counterparty risks, as they often are correlated with those "very low chance" events. You may be left holding a winning lottery ticket that lottery organizer can't or won't cover.
I am glad I will able to put to rest this common misconception about nuclear power ramping up speed. While it's a common rebuttal argument against nuclear, it's rather incorrect since nuclear power is actually able to ramp up fast enough. Moreover, French nuclear stations are typically older than they should and newer ones could move even faster. But better than Germany's

I'm not the right person to ask, I'm not very finance knowledgeable. But here would be my demands, starting with most likely to possibly happen:

- Total short interest in every stock updated daily, both settled and in progress.

- (edit) report daily fails to deliver (not just a running total), and published at T+2 rather than every couple weeks.

- For every trade, publish whether it's a short sale or sale of an owned asset.

- SEC tracks each companies' daily borrows and fails to deliver, with consequences.

- Every short sale must be submitted with a borrow agreement from someone who has already agreed to lend you the shares. SEC checks these are not fraudulent or frequently cancelled.

- Everyone should have access to the trading data that you currently need a Bloomberg terminal for.

- Every share has a serial number. Every trade must include a list of serial numbers of every share in that trade, with proof that you own or were lent those exact shares.

Like I said, I"m no expert, so responses welcome.
