This is highly inaccurate. Title tags have EVERY implication on ranking for a keyword. For the most competitive keywords in the world, it's very possible that certain sites could rank without having it in the title tag due to the sheer volume of people linking to them with relevant anchor text, but this is highly unlikely. And more importantly, it doesn't make sense not to do it, because it's pretty ridiculous to put UX in front of strong SEO in title tags, because the large majority of users completely ignore the title tags - UNLESS they show up in search results.

And, yes, you can't show up in search results (most often) unless you have SEO-optimized title tags. I would recommend serving up a specific SEO-title tag, and then another, closely related article title on the page itself - at least as it comes to news pieces.

And the other hand, I'd agree that it is in companies best interest to have the title tags short enough to get their brand in there - because brand relevancy helps CTR substantially. When CTR goes up, ranking may increase since Google is looking at these things in their algo. Then you get more clicks, views and links, and it starts a downhill, positive domino effect for your website.

Whatever staggering you do is going to be the equivalent sun-exposed area as the footprint projected on the ground right?

You might possibly get away with some kind of balcony arrangement on the southern face of the building, where all levels would get sunlight, and the rest of the building could be offices/residential/whatever. There are still going to be huge inefficiencies in planting, tending, and harvesting compared to open-field farming.

This is good advice for starting a day, or ending a day. So many times when I get home from a long day I think I'm too tired to get any work done, but after a 30 min run or bike ride, my mind is ready to start hacking on a project again.

It's also not a bad idea after lunch. It's 4pm here and I just got done doing some pushups. Looking forward to doing some more before I leave.
He's the greatest basketball player ever. He's the most competitive athlete I know of. He's an athletic genius.

Similar to the stories of Steve Jobs berating colleagues, employees, rivals, etc. there are anecdotes about Jordan doing the same in his field.

Rare coins that are now valued as artefacts were once monetary assets. So I'm not sure that this distinction is meaningful.

BTC's value now could come from it acting as a store of value for example. Or its value could come from the novelty aspect. Or that it facilitates online gambling (leveraged bets on crypto exchanges) in countries where such activity is heavily restricted. BTC's value in the future could come from it being a historical artefact. Lots of subjective reasons investors may have for holding it (just like they hold a piece of art) beyond its use as a currency.
Just curious, do you have a source?

> It seems like a case of moving goal posts, where every time a milestone is reached, it's disregarded.

I think it's sort of a case of AI researchers tried moving the goalposts closer, and now we're moving them back. Back in the 60s, a bunch of people thought a general-purpose artificial intelligence was a realistic goal in the near future.

Then it turned out that problem was hard, really hard. AI researchers instead defined-down the problem. Instead of building AI, they worked on building "chess-playing AI" or "traffic-optimizing AI". These are useful and interesting in their own right, but they're not really what people mean when they talk about "intelligence".

Over time, this meant that the entire field of "AI" became discredited, which is why nobody talks about AI anymore, they talk about "machine learning", or "deep learning", etc. If somebody says they're going to make a human-level general-purpose AI, they're no longer taken seriously.
Why should people that would like some quiet time (which is needed for all of us) have to come in at non-standard hours. That sucks.

I think the bigger issue is how we've all been duped into how the open-plan offices "work" from MBA dicks.
Maybe ask on the OpenWRT forums?
I also have the feeling that's only pjmlp and maybe 100 enterprises around the world that do use some features like these!

I like Derek Sivers' take on it. Your next big break is going to come from someone you know, so get out there and know people.

Be helpful, and make sure people know what value you can create/provide. And they'll make the referral, often in valuable situations you can't even foresee or imagine.
This must be really important if you felt the need to provide a link to your same exact blog post twice in two days (by changing the title of your post so it wouldn't be blocked/detected)!

Actually, now that I look at your submission list ( http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=UXMovement ), it seems that you double-submit your own blog posts by changing the titles over and over and over and over (and over) again. I think PG should start collecting ad revenue from you soon!
It's an interesting idea technically, though socially people, in the main, find it difficult to pick up the phone and talk to someone they know nothing about (beyond a few tags and a name).

Even showing a Gravatar and making it mandatory to provide a homepage URL or Twitter link would allow users to do a quick bit of "research" on someone they want to call in order to feel more comfortable and to build up a little virtual rapport ahead of time.
Mine was exceedingly slow when I had >2,000,000 files (gigabytes of versioned source code will do that). Several seconds to pull up an application by name. 10-30 seconds to pull up an infrequently-accessed document by filename. > 1 minute to pull up a PDF by content.

All of which caused a few seconds delay between every result-set returned, during which it was entirely unresponsive. It still worked faster - pressing `enter` would grab the top result when it came up - but that's unacceptably slow.
I'm still leaning toward the hoax theory. If I'm wrong, I'm really going to have to reconsider any support of the Obama administration. This is renegade government.
Aldous's review and Falkenstein's review (cited here in the comments) are both worth a read as are Taleb's books. There is plenty of hubris to share amongst the three. Taleb's observations are accessible, provocative and cautionary and worth pondering.
If the backing connection was to 3G this would be both massively cool and a massively bad idea. The bad part: wifi and mobile broadband are already a big potential security risk. A form factor in the shape of a USB drive would be hard to spot.

The good part: if they built this with 3G and used the cloud as the backing store, it could really be an infinite USB drive!
My Dad is an independent blacksmith. One of his principles for dealing with new customers who don't trust him yet is: Talk then down, then deliver a little extra. I think the same goes for software development.
Sounds like a solution in search of a problem. But, you're free to add your own extensions on to x3d, if you want to give each part of your sub-assembly a "mood" or "taste" and still have your artifacts be interoperable with the rest of the world.
A message is not a message if doesn't reach your intended audience. In the other hand, it could reach just your intended audience and not the whole world, your own citizens could take that message as something negative.
Nah !

I love LISP but this is too much to digest. Just because you can, you shouldn't do it. Flutter with Dart and component based architecture is still awesome.
Yeah, that's kind of how this country markets itself. Being able to afford a home and a family on a regular worker's pay is literally part of "The American Dream."

I was about to bring this up! I got one of these absolutely terrible games in the mid-90s (long after the NES was the hot thing and we had all loved to the SNES or even N64, I can’t remember the year) at the Christian book store when I was with my aunt and my grandmother, and even at that age (10 or 11), I knew it would be both terrible and also terrible in a truly wonderful way. It did not disappoint.

I can’t remember which one I had now (it might have been Bible Adventures but it might have been the one that was the Menace Beach clone), except that it exists in my parents basement somewhere along with my other oddities of childhood.

IIRC, Wisdom Tree was the first company to bypass the lockout chip, before even Tengen/Atari. I have to think the low market for those games, unlike Tengen which was for sale at Toys R Us like real games, probably prevented them for being caught up in some of the legal stuff.
>People should treat others the way they want to be treated if they happen to be on the "wrong" side.

How should someone be treated who has made it clear that they will never follow the Golden Rule, no matter how they're treated? Because that's the situation we appear to find ourselves in.

I find it useful, although not particularly encouraging, to think in terms of the Prisoners' Dilemma. In theory, initial co-operation followed by judicious application of the golden rule will lead to both parties converging on the best outcome. But if one party makes it clear that they will always betray the other (and demands that the other stay silent, in order to give the first party their desired better outcome) how should the other respond?

Sure, cooperation (silence) is objectively the better choice. But once you are confident it will always be met with betrayal, what does the correct or best action become?

And that's setting aside the inherent quality of the speech in question. "Drinking bleach is awesome and you should chug as much as possible as soon as you get home," and "washing your hands is good and should be done frequently" are not equivalent, nor should they be treated as such.
>That's the nature of using a relatively one-dimensional spectrum to describe a complex system of beliefs.

Yes. I mean internet discussions are already hard on any subject with just text and little context. And politics is possibly the worst of all subjects.

Thank You for the well reasoned reply.

The estate tax isn't a disgrace, it only even kicks in on estates greater than a few million. I'll repeat that -- if your estate is less than a few million, the estate tax doesn't affect you. If your estate is more than a few million, the first few are still exempt.

Used to be people respected earning your own living, now all people seem to respect is compound interest.
I would prefer to call it an operating environment. Not that different from many others - .Net, the DOM environment of JavaScript, any scripting language in any larger tool.

Lets use "operating system" to mean what its generally understood to mean: something that you boot on hardware, that manages system resources/hosts drivers for devices, manages time and memory.

Just a separation-of-process model is not enough to justify the name Operating System.
Really? Those aren't acquisitions?

>"Why would you exclude text labels from visual programming?"

The context of my initial context was in response to "fully visual programming" in the ancestor comment and the implication that natural language programming faced similar challenges.

The expediency provided by labels is a result of the arbitrariness of graphic interpretation. I am not suggesting that the use of labels isn't helpful, only that the use of labels doesn't really differentiate "visual programming" as a subset of programming, i.e. in and of itself a text label is not significantly more visual than text on a terminal screen.

For example, the label is necessary because the visual convention for "start" is ambiguous. Left, right, top and bottom are all used as a starting position depending on the arbitrary conventions of the context. Likewise, a MaBell styled receiver, green flag, a vertical stroke or a hand with index finger extended as if to press a button may all be used to indicate start.

I used your departure from flowcharting conventions as an illustration of the unique problems with graphical communication conventions. I am not implying that deviating from flow charting convention is a bad idea.

My point is that your deviation from flowcharting conventions is arbitrary in the sense that it was driven by factors irrelevant to the process of flow charting (i.e. the limitations of the medium on which the flowchart is presented rather than concerns about the mapping of graphic symbols to processes).
The existence of a black swan doesn't imply that swans are usually black.

A. "There are examples where newcomers to a field found a novel solution that senior experts have missed."

B does not follow from A. Not even in mathematics where people use to say that you have to prove yourself worthwhile by the age of 25 or it won't happen.

This is a slightly different discussion but IMHO in many fields (e.g. medicine) contemporary science has little to do with genious or insight but rather is an industrial effort ... and that _often_ isn't fun.
I do, because the alternative is handing over much money to my cable provider. I wish they offered the "watch a long ad at the beginning and then enjoy uninterrupted programming" for everything, though.

Things like yoga will stimulate the body and build strength to a degree, but that is a much less efficient way to get in shape, in my opinion.

One of the reasons compound lifts moving heavy weight are so important is the effect they have on your entire body. Doing heavy squats recruits nearly every muscle in your body. But it doesn't just stimulate those muscles, it also stimulates your central nervous system.

Doing something hard enough to get the attention of the CNS is important to making progress, since, for example, the CNS will respond by releasing more hormones such as growth hormone.

Doing full squats with your bodyweight on the barbell 15 times (3 sets of 5) is like screaming at your body to get in shape and it will respond. Doing yoga might be like gently asking.

This isn't to say yoga isn't beneficial, it's just not the most efficient way to get in shape.

It's probably also why their articles never seem to start with On a gloomy morning of June 22, 2015... - the much hated opening of so many other magazines who probably think it's a good way of engaging the reader. I hate this style so much. The editors who encourage it have no idea how disengaging their style is. Kudos to the Economist for not doing this.

I switched to Chrome a couple weeks ago, I really love Opera and have used it for years, but it reached the point where it would take a full minute or two just to end the process after I closed the browser and 30+ seconds just to open it the first time. Drove me nuts, only happens on my desktop at least.
Thanks! The GraphQL API is just a wrapper of HackerNews REST API (doc: https://github.com/HackerNews/API)

The REST endpoints do not provide a way to query the items with variable parameters. So, I could not support it either on GraphQL side.

I'm interested in what you would consider success in the free software movement? GPL'd software is everywhere, Linux is a household name, proprietary competitors have been consistently overshadowed and made irrelevant. We are nowhere near a 100% free software world, but it's far better than 10 or 20 years ago, let alone 30+.
Are these frictions good for either businesses or consumers? What is wrong with the desire that a good consumer protection protection be rolled out nationally rather that state by state?
I was hoping to get some insider scoop on the Samsungs culture problem. But looks like it’s just a round up of Samsungs bad results rather than specific tales of toxicity or culture issues. I don’t doubt it for one second that there are toxicity issues but I also found some of the sources don’t support what they are alledging.

> These various units are allegedly playing the blame game with each other. Samsung LSI (design) is blaming Samsung Foundry, while Samsung Mobile is blaming S.LSI.

The link in this paragraph doesn’t actually have anything about them blaming each other.

> that the foundry is even allegedly lying about the yields

The link here also doesn’t say anything about “lying”. It says they will do a diagnosis/audit around the low yield problem.

I didn’t bother clicking on all the links. But some links are right but kinda erodes the trust in the article when this is happening.

"[Stallman] seems to sincerely believe his all-or-nothing stance"

Richard Stallman has largely been not averse to pragmatism, he is the sort that is willing to clearly articulate his stance as to what he thinks is right, but has also been willing to endorse all sorts of incrementalism. For example:

http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast-dev/2001-February/00...

"In response to the change of license, Richard Stallman of the Free Software
Foundation says, "I agree. It is wise to make some of the Ogg Vorbis code
available for use in proprietary software, so that commercial companies doing
proprietary software will use it, and help Vorbis succeed in competition with
other formats that would be restricted against our use.""

I think it's a pretty cool idea.

Where I work, they supply flexible work locations with desks and cubes all configured with monitor, network/wi-fi, keyboard, mouse and Dell standard dock. I could see some enterprises like mine going for something like this. Except now they don't have to supply the dock, mouse or computer. If it has RDP support they could even supply corporately managed Windows desktops for people to remote into.

My experience is exactly the opposite. I've never been able to get into Ulysses. I enjoy the Wake for the poetic language and imagery, and the incredible scope of it. I don't worry too much about the allusions and puns, they are kind of a bonus.

I first read the Wake with Joseph Campbell's "A Skeleton Key to Finnegan's Wake" as a companion, and I've used other texts, too.

Maybe I should revisit Ulysses.
At the my current job, I don't even have tickets just slack messages consisting of hey can you do this inset vague thing, and after asking for multiple clarifications to narrow the possible interpretation I start working on it.

Guess what ? The last Big task/Project I had to do morphed into another one each time I reported that I was done for 11 times in a row, midway I just gave up mentally.

And it all started with "hey can you do a small script to download some CSVs from this server"
There was a key in the radiation chamber's control panel that turned the power to the chamber on and off. This key had to first be turned to the "off" position, then carried to the entrance of the maze to activate the panel that slid the section of floor over the pit towards the entrance, thus allowing er entrance.

It seems this procedure took too long so the operator only turned the key to "off" in the main control panel, then crossed the pit at the maze entrance on his own.

In my comment above I say they don't know exactly how he crossed this pit with the mechanical hatch, but I seem to have misremembered. The motor that moved the hatch was inside the pit and he could have stepped on it and jumped over to the far side. What the IAEA doesn't know is how he managed to cross a pressure plate after the pit that would have normally stored the source to its safe position.
