Random discrimination agains minorities is never a wise move for a public company. It would not be wise ling term but they could be some short term gain if they pander to some extremist gaining ground in government.

I don't think they realize just how noxious this is to small companies. Pay pal is convenient but they are Earning a recommendation for unreliability large this kind od thing is enough to put a start up in serious danger. I hope star ups are not forced to play it squeaky clean and forced to discriminate in order to avoid loss of liquidity.

It sounds like it takes no more than a bad word or rumor of some outspoken group to get cut off. By bad word I mean gay black muslim independent.

Assuming it isn't unreasonably high, I would pay.

I was reading Something Awful since about a year after they launched (late 90s). I never got around to registering for the forums. Now, I kick myself for not having been a part of and stuck around that community when it was that small.

Them charging (they have a one-time fee, but I think HN could definitely be monthly) cut down SEVERELY on the crap content, because only people serious enough to pay could post.

Having a free-read/comment-and-post-pay system I think would be great, even if you price it as low as $5-10/month.
I disagree with this.

In the next perhaps 20 years or so it's likely that more people will join the developed world than live in it today as countries like China, India, Chile, Indonesia, Poland, etc. become more developed (much like South Korea and Taiwan have done within the past 20-30 years). Developed economies create lots of office jobs, and office jobs use windows computers running office as a rule. There's a huge growing market for MS still.

That's not to say that I am 100% confident that MS will gain all this as a matter of course, or that competition won't arise (I suspect we're on the cusp of a general purpose OS paradigm shift that may disadvantage MS), but the growth potential is very substantial and very real.
You're right, I should have said threads, and yes, they're a far cry from GMail conversations. I actually don't understand why conversations aren't more widely implemented. Is it particularly difficult to determine which messages belong to the same conversation?

You're also right that he compared iPhone Mail to Android GMail, which offers a better experience than standard Android mail. On the other hand, the iPhone Mail interface doesn't get any better if you use MobileMe. Using MobileMe would have given him the equivalent of Where's my Droid?, though.
> This is compared with a iPhone 3G

But it's comparing with a HTC Hero. While a year younger than the 3G, it's still not a "modern" android phone (not that your argument is completely wrong as it does seem, from the reviews I read on e.g. the N1 or the Incredible, that this impression of UI slowness/unresponsiveness is still there)

> It is IMHO one of the main failings of Android - the UI is pokey in places where it will significantly and negatively affect adoption rates and user behavior.

I think a bigger issue is the interface's customizability, leading to HTC shipping its own Sense UI rather than working on improving the "main" Android UI (by folding their improvements upstream)

And yet very, very common in the real world.

For more fun and games take a look at an airline business funding one day. One hiccup with a line of credit, particularly fuel credit, can bring an entire airline down in a matter of days.

The risks of funding retail lines of credit are not for the fainthearted. Get some bad purchasing going, end up with a load of junk in the warehouse that customers don't want and the business can't pay for ; the whole thing unravels very fast.
Having worked as a teacher in Japan for 5 years, I really take odds with this story. Japan is really, really different from the west. Take the survey about being happy with yourself -- I'm actually surprised that half the Japanese people surveyed actually said they were. It doesn't mean that Japanese youth are depressed. You just don't say that you are happy with yourself because it can limit your development, it makes you look vain, etc, etc.

It frustrates me to no end because this lack of understanding perpetuates really hurtful stereotypes. Things are not perfect here, of course, but this reporting is absolutely off the mark. Japanese people are no more soulless, depressed automatons than Americans are psychopathic mass murderers.

Please don't measure cultures using a yardstick from your own culture. Do not extrapolate from peculiar societal problems into thinking that there is an overall systemic failure. Different cultures have different problems and different ways of dealing with them. This kind of "journalism" is voyeuristic at best and hate mongering at worst.
It's quite interesting, but I believe that procrastination and burnout are rather obvious signs of ADHD and if you experience this you should verify this.

I'm a huge mental health advocate and I've been such for years (I worked with a lot of psychiatrists and psychologists when doing deep interpersonal training for business purposes and I built a lot of trust toward field) and I've been working constantly with therapists, have friends who are psychiatrists etc.

Yet no one, at any point suggested this might be ADHD because:

- ADHD has a lot of bad press (as something that is result of bad parenthood - which is false, that's genetics)

- ADHD in adults is somewhat new (where I live there all the meds are prescription only for children with note that they shouldn't be used for adults)

- ADHD adults are either successful (because they overcame hardships and are perceived as very interesting people in general) so they don't seek help or very miserable (dropping jobs, partners etc.) - they can't afford diagnosis and treatment

- ADHD in women is severely underdiagnosed (because it's attributed to hormonal mood swings)

- ADHD is often used as a joke, so people treat it as joke

- ADHD often gives symptoms that might be diagnosed as substance addiction, bi-polar personality, neuroticism, anger issues etc., people treat this for years and it doesn't help

- If you get in the wrong basket it's really hard to get out of it (I was working with different set of issues)

And that was for more then a decade. I decided to diagnose myself with specialist only after lately I couldn't focus on anything absolutely at all. I had weeks were I didn't do anything I really wanted - that wasn't normal and I went to a huge stretch to find out what that was.
We dont know because Softbank no longer breaks out those number in 2018/2019. But they do give some insight into the level of growth so we could extrapolate from previous year or quarters.

And generally speaking Softbank ( and ARM ) refuse to comment on anything about ARM China.

But that is a good point, it is a potential risk or at least need to be mindful in its valuation.
All he's done is write a blog post yesterday saying "does anyone want to give me a Haskell job? I have no substantial experience in Haskell". Bit early to say he can't land a Haskell job.
The worst thing about having to register an account on damn near everything is the security implications. I lost track of the number of unique passwords that are stored in my LastPass a long time ago. Seriously, the number is absolutely ridiculous to the point that trying to manage those accounts manually and in a secure fashion is, I'd argue, too much of an unnecessary burden on people.
No doubt. The ability to create a Clojure wrapper around an existing Java library makes bootstrapping a "new" library much faster, while also providing a bridge to Java programmers.
here's an idea:

The market for developers is a lemon's market.

That means, if you have 100 good cars selling at $2000, and 100 lemon cars selling at $1000, all the lemons will sell first, because the people making purchasing decisions aren't expert enough to tell the difference.

So it is very rare to be paid based on value, because why would a [CEO|CTO|hiring manager|whatever] pay $1M for this guy, when he can pay $150k for that guy, and he can't really tell the difference between them?

Just an idea, I haven't seen this discussed anywhere, what do you guys think?
I am just a casual observer, but how did they narrow it down to the way the rats were touched? Couldn't it have just been the people "running" the experiments instead being more casual about their results? Maybe for a dumb rat you hit your stopwatch a second later or a second faster for a smart rat, for example.

How did they isolate the touch of the experimenters?
Just working on projects on the side. Nothing I'd call a startup yet and certainly nothing I'd be dropping everything to dive into at this moment.
Using HTTPS on your login and account management servers but not on other pages of your site that need access to the login (like WSJ's article pages) can leave you vulnerable to session hijacking attacks (like those demonstrated by Firesheep[1] a few years ago against Facebook and Twitter). If you want to be secure, resources that require authentication should always be accessed over SSL, and your session cookies for logged-in sessions should be set as secure (so the browser won't send them over plain HTTP).

Top End smartphones might be able to replace a 8-10 year old P&S camera they still have respectively horrible cameras. But it doesn't really matter, no one prints photos any more, and with the amount of filters people stick on each photo it doesn't matter if you are making it with a 240p web cam or a 50MP DSLR it will all look the same.
That chart is a textbook example of "we drew a trendline through noisy data and drew completely unwarranted conclusions as a result".
I see giving people their freedom as being worth more than forcing them to work. Take automation as a given. It's been a trend for decades.

No one consented to be born into a system where they are enslaved by capital holders. Consider that an artifact of bootstrapping humanity through the industrial revolution.
I have a 29 year old Mazda miata (it's older than I am FYI) and it's been really great! I drive it year round in pretty harsh winters and I find it no less capable than the econobox I used to drive.
If you load jQuery as part of your first party bundle, sure. But if you load it from a 3rd party CDN, you can assume it will independently fail at some point. If you’re making something important, the proper resiliency practise would be to gracefully handle it.

Obviously if jQuery is critical to your site working at all there’s not much you can do, but for any dependencies that are not critical or only critical to a small portion of features, it’s a much better UX to degrade only those features.

It is encoded into law, except instead of sharing just with employees, you share it with everyone through taxes.

There's no reason that an employee who just happens to work at a firm that becomes successful should get profits from that, while a similar employee doing the same work who just happens to work at a failing company should get nothing. How could you justify that?

Putting business profit taxes in a big pot and spending them on everyone evens this out.

Fundamentally all you're really saying is you want corporate taxes to be higher. Which is arguable given the well-understood negative consequences of that which hurt everyone (e.g. taxes dissuade business formation, which means no jobs at all).
There are a few strategies that might be in play: sentiment analysis and technical analysis. Sentiment analysis does what you describe. Technical analysis is similar, but only looks at price movement and attempts to either follow or buck the trend. In these examples, a social media post could push the stock from $0.0001 to $0.0002. Maybe a sentiment algorithm sees the positive post and a technical analysis algorithm sees the positive price actions and confirms the upward momentum, triggering a purchase that moves the price to $0.0003. That 300% gain gets noticed by others and so on.

Algorithms are really just a digital manifestation of group psychology. The same thing happens in a run on a bank, or a Tulip bubble. Word spreads and others follow.
And this is by design (even though it's actually detectable -- try watching Netflix or Amazon, or any similar DRMed content, in incognito mode), because telling the server "hey, I'm in incognito mode" is antithetical to the goal of seeming to blend in.

But I still see a problem with Google's control of both sides of the connection, and with fingerprinting in general.
I guess, it's a bit like images of people who don't exist.

It looks like it makes sense, but in the end there is nothing behind it.

And this gets more obvious with text.
I'm not sure that video games really make exposure to violence that much worse - certainly when I was in my youth in the '70s we didn't have video games but we did have imaginations that turned just about anything we could get our hands on into an imaginary weapon (being in the UK the Bad Guys were, of course, the Germans).

I let my 11 year old play CoD and Halo - sometimes with a twinge of concern but as all his friends do it would have to be more than a twinge to make me stop him.

I don't think this has impaired his view of violence in the real world - we watched a TV recreation of the events of Bloody Sunday and he was genuinely shocked by the behavior of British soldiers even though his school has an Army Cadet unit and he has friends with big brothers in the forces.

The term decorator generator is incredibly misleading, as it implies relation to Python generators. The term decorator factory (or just decorator with parameters) is preferrable.

I've played with the nuke map occasionally for years, though I've never taken it too seriously in terms of estimating realistic damage. I'm not sure what targets would be hit, and by which bombs, and even then, the circles don't provide a holistic, long-term description of damage. But it is a lot of fun.
Not sure why you get downvoted. I've seen presentations by Ubisoft for example where they replaced templated vectors because of the code bloat which added up too much in their large code base.

> overreact early, quickly and briefly

People were worried that overreacting (in particular if the outbreak fizzled out, in which case any reaction would have been an overreaction) would damage the economy. Personally, I viewed that as a positive - a decently resilient economy would absorb such short-term shocks without any long-term issues. Easiest way to force-create such an economy? Stress tests (c.f. Netflix’s Chaos Monkey). If governments overreacted 1-2 times every year, people (travellers) and companies (supply chains) would get used to occasional flight blockade, border closure, discontinuity and disruption. We’d build a much more anti-fragile world.

One thing that helps me to this day is to remember that being hungry is normal. When people are hungry for something they have drive and are motivated.

I find being hungry every day (for at least an hour or two) before my single meal makes my food taste so much better.

I experiment with very light mid day meals at times. Nothing more than 2 fried eggs and maybe some saute'd onions with it. (I am hunger an hour or after eating this, so it doesn't disrupt my eating patterns)

I hope you do well with your weight control. It sounds like you have a great start on things.
FWIW, this is exactly how we recruit at my startup. In fact I was a little worried that it might be a turn off, so it's nice to hear that it's actually preferred (at least by some). Things we're looking for are the ability to get shit done and ship. We aren't looking for genius chess players, we're looking for curious problem solvers with a sense of responsibility and accountability.

I still have a couple. They are awesome.
I think this indicates bad modularity in the codebase and/or badly specified interface contracts. I’ve found that this makes finding bugs easier because I can start in the wiring file and then drill down to the only code that handles stuff relevant to the bug: by giving one place that lays out the high-level structure of a codebase, that place becomes like the “table of contents” for the rest of the code.

This particular benefit is almost completely destroyed by DI frameworks that use annotations and other magic to automatically wire together a codebase. So, I just don’t use those.
Why would they do that? They will change policy anyway if the TLD keeps getting popular. You gotta see things for what they are headed not for what they are.

So a little bit longer version of the story: Eckert and Mauchly had designed the architecture. Herman Goldstine, the military liaison of the ENIAC project, and something of a social climber, sought out von Neumann to see if he was interested. von Neumann was, and came to a lot of design meetings and made contributions about what the instruction set should be. Then when he was heading out to Los Alamos on a trip, he had some downtime during travel and wrote up the design for the group. Goldstine typed it up and circulated it with just von Neumann's name on it.

It is a point of discredit to von Neumann that he did not disavow the naming of the architecture.

Funnily, Goldstine's wife was one of the early programmers and well respected in that area. Goldstine himself made no significant contributions to computing.

Java is a better fit for high level code, and you can already use Rust where performance matters.

I've put a lot of time into learning Rust and I still reach for Java for high level stuff. GC is just wonderful for developer productivity. Lifetimes are way better than C but still a PITA.

Especially when you mix with threading, you end up using Reference Counting anyways which is just shitty GC.

how far does this go? Does Not Made in China mean not assembled in China or that the entire supply chain avoids China as well?

Don't they all? But good news is that they have pushed code to allow for usernames (or not even that). It isn't open to the public (or beta) yet, but it looks like the feature is going to be released fairly soon.
But why spend money on it when it doesn't solve problems with crime? Don't come back crying when crime statistics don't match your ideals and please pay for it yourself. There will be millions getting sunk in infrastructure for something politicians try to sell their voters for years: the perception of safety.

To me, this seems just dumb. Install a camera in your home, it will probably scare burglars, but I wouldn't expect much for broad deployment in public spaces. For violent crime it will do nothing, analogous to stronger sentences not working.

There will be countless security firms that will sell you the gadgets. But at that point you already became a victim in my opinion.

Yeah. I don't see that happening.
Legally getting that information from cellphone towers or tech companies and then acting on it would take at least one week, even if they had killed multiple people. A three letter agency could probably get it clandestinely and act para-legally for example putting people on surveillance or getting a flash arrest warrant for an unrelated but quickly to parallel-construct crime, but I don't see that happening in this case.

If there's going to be arrests based on cellphone tower or mobile app data I would expect them to happen by the end of next week.
