Useless apparently.
Im far better of learning in the university together with some friends. At home I cant get me to do anything. Its frustrating. The possibilities are outstanding, that even adds to the frustration.
From a Mental Helth point of view im fine. My family is wounderful, everything is great, besides me being unproductive :)

Just an FYI, there are no emails to contact nor any information about how to apply for any of these positions you described anywhere on your website that I can see.
Their chart is super confusing too, unless you stop and really study it and read the fine print.

Basically the most useful part on that chart is the lower right where it's 50% more cost effective per mile under 45 miles.

Maybe this is a "first gen" problem and they can get it to three, eventually four times as cost effective in a few years. I bet Japan or Germany will figure it out first.
To be clear, Adblock Plus is a memory hog that causes issues for Firefox and Chrome users. The added memory is not a problem of either browser and they do not cause that themselves.
...the problem is that there is no reason that a demo for a web framework should require an install in the first place--I mean you're already on a web page to look at it aren't you?...sure it's easy enough to install (i did it)...but it seems lazy especially if the intent is to promote usage of the framework.

To offer a contrasting opinion: this is very similar to the kind of whining I used to hear from middle-management about employees who hopped from one job to another during the boom days.
tokenadult said the same thing in his final paragraph, just in different words.
Then they shouldn't have structured things so that the founders COULD cash out early.... once you're able to cash out, it's YOURS....
I agree, especially as these summaries are written by the NYT, which has (so far) had the least interesting and most pro-American reporting on every Wikileaks leak.
Have we discussed ViewText here? I'm impressed. I think I may start using this instead of readability.
I'm not sure swype works well in the iPad context. I don't even like to use it in landscape on my incredible. It's too much distance to swype.
Well I was right on one count.
This was submitted by the Guardian. Could be that they will upload content later. Anyway, awfully slow now. Those servers are hogged ;-)

Edit: Here you can see them all including content:

Many here are emphasizing the rise of client-side Javascript methodologies and I would like to play Devil's advocate. Instead I argue that client-side solutions will fade because they are largely unnecessary.

Desktops today have multiple CPUs and high bandwidth. But hand-held devices do not, and that is the sector expected to grow faster. The same solutions that worked on a desktop yesterday with dial-up are needed for hand-held devices tomorrow.

Yet, as wifi proliferates, bandwidth increases and latency decreases, the distinction between server and client fades and where processing occurs becomes less important. The least expensive solution will likely prevail. It seems that server-side centralization of processing is more likely both in the short and long run, despite the current plethora of client-side tools, frameworks and methodologies.

My assumptions include the first 4 of the "8 Fallacies of Distributed Computing" (below). But my belief is that market forces will drive acceptance in hand-helds of what has already been accepted in cellphones (that is, inexpensive, unreliable, insecure, limited-bandwidth solutions), and simultaneously drive network solution providers to more reliable, secure, higher-bandwith capability and so those maxims no longer fully apply (or, better said, the customer no longer cares).

Note:

The 8 Fallacies of Distributed Computing:

1. The network is reliable

2. Latency is zero

3. Bandwidth is infinite

4. The network is secure

5. Topology doesn't change

6. There is one administrator

7. Transport cost is zero

8. The network is homogeneous.
The Harrier does not usually launch vertically from these carrier either, but they are STOVL aircraft; I think you meant to say that the original poster meant to say that non-STOVL jets struggle to launch from them, which is still quite a leap from claiming that neither a helicopter nor a STOVL-capable plane is a full aircraft.
I haven't been able to look at this set, but one of the intriguing topics is that the Saudis are urging the US to attack Iran.

This piece of information makes an attack on Iran (and the subsequent bloodshed and mayhem) less likely, once the light has been shined on the Saudi hand. This, IMHO, is a good thing. If we have to attack Iran (and I'm not saying we should), then we should do so because Iran is a threat to US, and not to the Saudis.
What evidence is there that informants no longer trusting US handlers is a bad thing ?
I hope you are wrong about <50%, but you may be right. I'd be curious as to a reasonable lower bound of human knowledge about human biology; do we know at least 25% of the fundamentals?
Wow, thanks for the thorough reply (and nice rant). Seems like fluid dynamics, like a lot of other fields, is currently running after the shining new thing. What a shame. Best of luck to your research, though (which went waaaay above my head).
Turing Completeness.
The author has no idea what he is talking about and his thoughts have no relation to actual nuclear targeting plans.
Why this is interesting to me is that most of the popular hot-dog-on-a-stick devices run some crappy, limited, or proprietary OS (although if you have time to invest, many can be upgraded to Linux). But this one will ship with Linux or Windows.

For some decent background info on this form factor, see: http://www.stickcomputing.com
You can use MHL and bluetooth keyboard and mouse for something similar today.
The Chromecast does not require external power; it'll run off the power supplied via the HDMI port. I'm pretty sure the Amazon FireTV Stick will, too. I don't own a Roku Stick, so I can't comment.

They prefer having external power because many HDMI ports don't supply enough consistently, but don't require it.
I don't know, but it can't be good.
At first I thought this was a live JS-based demo. That would have been amazing.
I bought a new Subaru Forrester. Even the base model comes with cameras which do a lot of work, including automated braking
It's the new "Web hosting review" site. 10-15 years ago there were hundreds of similar commission-funded sites recommending shared hosting providers, all with the same problems. Where there's a commission, there's someone ready to write a good review :-)
Anyone else think this looks awful? Especially compared to BMWs i series, which is unashamedly futuristic but also, well, nice
Couldn’t they have had an agency wide Slack instance?
This looks extremely dangerous. It looks like it could mow down a whole
sidewalk full of people if the driver made a wrong turn.

So I guess this one won't be marketed for its safety and its ability reduce
traffic deaths, like the Teslas with Autopilot. Or will this also have
Autopilot? That sounds even worse somehow.
This what you're looking for? https://www.adafruit.com/product/73
Not to be nitpicking but “rinpoche” is a honorific term, not a name.
> No, it only looks like a desirable "imperative" if you read it with a hyper-literal interpretation.

"Break things" is objectively an imperative. There's no hyper-literal or otherwise careful parsing necessary to arrive at that realization. It's the default.

Careful thinking is actually what you need to arrive at the more useful non-literal understanding. And unfortunately the phrase itself doesn't encourage that.

Something like "Move fast, even if there's risks" or "Prefer momentum over risk aversion" would be the face-value formulation.

> We're just humans playing with language

And being played with by language.

If language is powerful enough to orient someone on the benefits of preferring momentum over risk aversion, it's powerful enough to distract from the threshold where there's inadequate anticipation of consequences.

Any given formulation may do one job better than another.

MFABT is not an optimal expression. There are better ones.
Yeah, but that's just an SSH access point. I want a full shell.
>what information did they have access to that wasn't publicly available already?

Both classified and top secret information.

For example, changes to China's production, mobilization, expenditure (sale of stocks, debts, etc...), changes to net imports/decreases in net exports, satellite imagery, State Dept/CIA field officers analysis/reports, etc...
Look up Mitch Altman's work
I believe this is the direct successor to the HP 5061A. HP spun off Agilent, who sold the time/frequency product division to Symmetricom, who was then acquired by Microsemi. It seems that the inflation-adjusted price of the Microsemi 5071A is about the same as the ~1970 catalog price of the HP 5061.
Abstract:

>> "With documentation, it's rare for terms like easy to be intentionally condescending. Often times, writers use them to show that something isn't as intimidating as it sounds. If this is the case, think about what the docs are trying to communicate and replace the condescending language with word choices that better represent the intention."
I think a language being highly compatible with C is what would have the greatest potential to replace it. In some ways it's similar to Microsoft's "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy.
Another win for Hanlon.
The kind of radicalism that raises my taxes to keep our country from falling apart

How is that “radicalism”? It’s a common mainstream opinion that people do often vote for. In fact I would say that radicalism starts with options that aren’t even represented in mainstream politics.
Because of religious BS.
The UN is largely voluntary and has little power to issue anything binding. The US is a member of the ICJ but has not consented for compulsory jurisdiction. It only submits to ICJ jurisdiction on a treaty-by-treaty or consent basis.
Lurking is such a strange way to phrase this, like they are up to no good!
I wouldn't call them arbitrary. As a society we've chosen to make the idea of helping the less able lead more normal lives something we want. Whether it really helps or is the most effective way is debatable, but I think it's pretty clear why; it's generally well supported and fits with our cultural mythos.
My first manager at Google (and the first in my career) had 2 young kids, around 5 and 7 respectively.

He left the office every day at 6:30 sharp and, like clockwork, would answer emails and code reviews starting at 10. Eventually we learned to time our emails and code reviews according to this clock.

The consistency of the timing was remarkable; our favorite theory was that was his kid's bedtime. I guess in effect, he was putting two sets of kids to bed each night :).

Digital Ocean has a $5/month tier that has worked great for me.
Yeah, that's that "fiduciary duty to the shareholders" lie that always crops up. Best excuse for bad executive behavior ever.
the point you're trying to make here is completely tangential to the point being discussed in the article. the fact being reported on is that public knowledge about the size of the income and wealth gap is heavily flawed and most of the survey respondents used in the study believed things that were not true.

the fact that the population size (and correspondingly, the GDP) is larger today than it was 40 years ago has nothing to do with this.
Yep. Apple built up a reputation (over a decade) for creating high-quality products. You don't need to know the internals.

The Microsoft ecosystem didn't do this, to put it mildly. Which spyware/adware/bloatware is coming along with your PC purchase? Which plasticky parts? Which underpowered CPU? Which horrible battery life?

People see a Christopher Nolan movie just because he's involved. Interstellar didn't need a typical Michael-Bay style trailer to entice people to go.

It's all about the expectations people have going in. When you don't trust the chef, you want to see all the ingredients.
I would love to know why my questions trying to critically analysing the claims made in the article should be downvoted? I've made some pretty un-constructive comments on articles in the past but I don't think this was one of them?
iTunes is out? Well, that's a pointless constraint if I've ever seen one. Yes it's terrible software, but plenty of people run terrible software once in a blue moon because it's the only way to accomplish some task.

Also, you say "For a person who frequents HN that's extremely unintuitive"... are you implying HN users are incapable of using google? That HN users are not aware that a locked-down Apple ecosystem means there's no user freedom?

I'd expect the users of HN to be a large overlap with the people familiar with Stallman's views and how Apple is known to behave. I would not expect the regular man on the street to know what "walled garden" meant in terms of apps nor what "closed source lockin" meant, but I'd expect the average HN user to be very familiar with those concepts.

I find your claim that such a simple idea is unintuitive to an HN user demeaning towards all of us.
Taking 40 years to build an extremely useful bit of public transportation is kind of 'exhibit A' for screwy politics in my book - and I know something about it, living in Italy!
Launchpad, Bazaar, Upstart.

Some of them nice projects in their own right, but it's hard the shake the feeling of NIH syndrome.
Any ecologist would tell you that trees plant themselves if left alone. The real question is not how to get people to plant trees, it's how to get people to leave trees and the areas where they will grow alone.

That's in the majority of places where trees would normally grow. Of course in some ecosystems like a full desert, we can help nature do it's thing. And we can also help along the natural process by selectively planting additional species. In the US tree planting is about foresty not nature or the environment. Forestry is the planting and managing trees for economic gain, usually for pulp or lumber often by planting only one or two species.

So, another misleading thing would be that forestry involves planting several times as many trees and then weeding, culling, thinning out the trees. So one misleading statistic you will find is something like "we planted 1 million trees", where the actual number of trees finally will be something like 100,000.

Trees come with their own built in reproductive system via seeds, acorn and the like. The urge to plant forests is a human urge to meddle and fix things. This urge is also the reason why the forests were cleared and nature curtailed. This urge should, in most of the world, be resisted if we are to let nature do it's own thing.
For non-browser apps the server doesn't have to explicitly allow it. A simple curl can access any server it wants. If y browser based apps wants to access another server, that server needs to be configured to allow it (because of the Same Origin Policy) and how many servers do you know that allow anybody to access them via CORS?

So take for example a WebDAV server. In theory, you could build a web based app, that can access any WebDAV server out there on the internet. In practice, that WebDAV server requires a special CORS configuration in order to be accessible via a browser from a different origin. Any other normal desktop app doesn't care about CORS and can access any server it has credentials for, no matter what configuration it has.
This was never true. Anyone could stand on the street corner and say anything. Anyone with some spare cash could print up political booklets or flyers and hand them out, and many did.
They didn't "silence" him because his brand of politics. Their stated reason for banning him from their platform was literally " due to the risk of further incitement of violence."

Their TOS have specific "Glorification of Violence policy", which aims to prevent the glorification of violence that could inspire others to replicate violent acts and determined that they were highly likely to encourage and inspire people to replicate.

Further, the claim that Twitter "Silenced" the President of the United States, a man who literally has a press room in his house, and could have a room full of reporters convened at any hour of the day to speak to. He could issue any statement from official whitehouse channels and it would instantly be disseminated across every news outlet around the world.

He chose not do those things, because he is a coward. The quintessential Keyboard Warrior/troll who likes to rile up people safe from any counter argument.
Here come the deepfakes for streamers to be deplatformed by their rivals/competitors!

Oh wow, wix has always been bad, that's common knowledge. But that's a new low.
I've gotten in the habit of turning mine off regularly. I'll just turn it off in the evening and turn it on in the morning if I don't need an alarm (which... I have an alarm clock, I just tend to not use it).

I use it mostly for person to person communication and kid photos (the only things on my home screen are Messages, Signal, Hangouts, Element, the actual phone app, and the camera - everything else is buried over in the App Library), I've got most distraction websites blocked with 1BlockerX (not that it's hard to get around, but it's a good hurdle to jump), and about the only notifications I get are messages from people, plus emails on infrequent accounts (main account is poll only, no notifications).

It works well, though I still struggle with how much time can go vanishing down the rabbit hole of "I'm bored, I wonder what's on the internet today..."

I really need to get a "house phone" set up on an old cell phone. Get one of those "You only pay if you use it" plans, though I expect the spammers and scammers would cost me a lot of money that way.
That thread between FB & Apple is fascinating. The potential solutions being discussed have significant implications:

1. Apple: "not support eTLDs in PCM and only support TLDs" - so no more ad attribution for multi-tenant domains.

2. Facebook: "some sort of vetting process to determine who is using subdomains in a way that is aligned with the intended purpose of the PSL" - so Apple takes over the PSL inclusion process and institutes strict vetting to prevent abuse of PCM, which would presumably take months to implement.

This looks like a serious design problem with no solution that could be implemented before ATT drops.
Why aren't you on jruby if you have serious performance requirements? A sufficiently warmed-up jvm will outpace 1.9.2
I'm curious how this compares to founder CEO compensation post funding.

Any ideas?
We are currently using Flurry basic version mainly because it's free and really easy to setup. I recommend it for those two reasons.

We are also planning to use Appfigures real soon for iTunes Connect download analytics (http://www.appfigures.com)

I don't think dropboxing an entire harddrive is required. Case in point: I use dropbox for my school files, personal docs, etc and it works wonders. Copying my copy of /bin/bash is kinda pointless.
She appears to be some sort of owner as well as editor. And it appears only two people actually make money from that magazine - the other may also be an owner-type.
"These experiments have shown the power of the link-up of 140 computing centers around the world known as the Grid which processes the vast amounts of information that ion collisions produce."

I wonder if there is any sort of distributed, volunteer computing program that those of us so inclined could participate in to lend a hand to the processing efforts; something along the lines of SETI@home and Folding@home would certainly be helpful I would think. Such high amounts of new, raw data could surely use any help that they can get in the processing stage.
I can't believe that a place of religious worship is created with the prime motivation to spread goodwill. It's purely to extend and expand or fortify their religion.

Edit: To clarify my point further: If the aim was to spread goodwill, it would be more efficient to open a center directly focused on such.
My bad, then. All this time I thought Google was the back end.
I heard this interview on the radio. Quite interesting, especially when you find out that Darth Vader's breathing sounds are scuba-regulator-breathing, slowed down somewhat.

I don't know what the viewpoint was in 1977, when "Star Wars" came out, but right now, the sounds of Star Wars seem to verge nearly on a "mash-up". The jealously protected "intellectual property" comes straight out of the public domain, or maybe from sources that didn't explicitly authorize the use of the sounds, like the scuba regulator manufacturer.
I guarantee a considerable fraction of your users are using mail servers that have something seriously wrong somewhere.
This is at best unclear. It could mean affiliated to the site just mentioned in previous paragraph, 4Chan, or to the group the article is talking about, Gnosis.
I just add !google when DDG it doesn't return what I want.
thinking about it i also do !wikipedia and !java, !lisp.

!amazon is also pretty awesome.

I use it more like a command line to search specific things from my browser bar than a general search engine like google.
I'm all for database consistency. It's just not only database consistency that I'm worried about. I've just been burned by keys that were also data before. Having keys that aren't related at all to the data just hurts a few sensibilities and a few individuals sense of calm. =)

They also hit the door with a sledgehammer as hard as they could and didn't dent it. The video for that is pretty amazing.

That figure is inflated, but the estimate that the CDC cites is still quite high: "In 2005, 133 million Americans – almost 1 out of every 2 adults – had at least one chronic illness" [1] That's ~45% of the US population.

Now, they're almost certainly including the millions of people with chronic diseases that do not have overt symptoms, such as hyperlipidemia and early-stage hypertension.

I think this is a function of the lack of another sane place to put your money. Right now with interest rates at 0% it's hard to say the economy is going anywhere on sound footing. Would you put your money in treasuries? Stocks? Cash? Past a certain point these things seem more risky than they're worth relative to their potential reward. Investing in another Facebook or whatever at an early stage by comparison seems to be worth a lot more and you have more control over what happens than say owning shares in Citi.

If there is a bubble it's not much to worry about since the investments are fueled by savings and not debt. Debt fueled bubbles make losses so much worse for everyone. The worst case is that some investors get wiped out (or at least what they invested was lost) and we all move on having a few good laughs about how crazy we were back then (how many Twitter services do we need when no one can decide if we even need Twitter).

The number of bootstrapped companies out there suggests that at least some people feel like raising money isn't worth it even in this climate so I don't think this time period is all bad for tech.
