Well, the near-instantaneous drop we saw a few weeks ago is something that has happened exactly once in history. It will probably never happen again, at least not in the same form, since people have probably gone and changed their software to avoid it. And its consequences, in the end, weren't all that bad -- mostly a bunch of institutional investors made some money at the expense of some other institutional investors, but I haven't heard of anybody getting wiped out.

So I'm inclined to pick the free-market devil I know over the government-controlled devil I don't.
This question comes up a lot (because it is important.)

I have the opposite question: How do I find good freelancers?
There are at least 6-8 climbers I've ran into on HN over the years, possibly more..
"But your claim that the iPhone doesn't do real multitasking is bogus, it's just that third party apps can't do it. Mail, phone, safari all run in the background."

Not claiming that. The 'multi-tasking' category specifies 3rd party apps in the title.

"And in your sidebar you note which features can be done with a jailbroken iPhone, except for the ones that I've listed - which should be updated imho."

I only mentioned that third party apps can be installed on a jailbroken iPhone in the sidebar, because if I didn't, I'd get 30 comments letting me know it can be done. I know it can be, but it can't be done without jailbreaking, and that's the point. No other features on either platform are counted as a 'Y' if they require jailbreaking/rooting.

I know it's trivial jailbreak an iPhone or root an Android phone, but most average consumers don't want to do this.
- There's a bug in a huge program

- Huge programs are hard to debug

- There's a bug in MSDN downloads

- The author or his startup friend didn't google "report bugs to microsoft" and click on the first link http://connect.microsoft.com/ where you can report bugs for programs including IE.

- Dealing with big companies takes more time than dealing with one small teams.

- When the IE team says it's tracking a different issue, and you don't mention it again in your blog, people who hate MS will jump to negative conclusions.
The modrails site always made me think of that video where Microsoft designs the iPod box... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeXAcwriid0
No offense, but critiquing the methodology of a study you haven't read makes you kind of a douche. How about you actually read the book before spouting off this bullshit. You're not the only one who knows what heritability and IQ are, it's not some big secret, and the researchers aren't 12.
I didn't really want to go back, but I though it was $2.30/hour.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I don't know if she was lying. But, if people view her as dishonest, I think that most certainly does harm to the underlying claim (in the public's opinion) that women in Tech are mistreated.

> There's a difference between a company being shitty and it breaking the law.

I agree. Strip mining is pretty shitty. Fracking too. But what's your point? Our courts shouldn't be used to expose 'shitty' companies. They should be used to punish unlawful actions.
I use my iPad Mini 3 for reading PDFs such as data sheets, schematics of circuits, photography books, and so forth.

I can understand your interest in larger screens such as the iPad Air 2, but there are so few book I even have access to (much less, use) that are that kind of format. The largest books I regularly use are O'Reilly publications.

My notes are usually taken in A5 spiralbound notebooks, or Field Guides pocket books. A4 is a gigantic format for me.

As for ownership of books, I buy DRM where possible, and strip the DRM from the books which aren't available any other way. So I have Michael C Feathers, "Working Effectively with Legacy Code" in my iBooks library even though it is exclusively a Kindle book. Yes, I had to taint my credit card with the stench of Amazon, but I won't let them take back something they have already sold me. Especially when the electronic version costs more than the paper one!
What is a typical % of equity to give away for the $750k?
I'd love for there to be a hubot plugin for this.
As far as most anyone is concerned, monitoring YouTube for user-initiated copyright violations to send takedown notices is precisely what the DMCA was intended to be used for.
I'm very interested to learn about internet marketing. Where can I learn the fundamentals and the workflow/process (as in: treat it as a project with measurements and stuff vs get-rich-quick-scheme).
I think that carapace didn't mean "how did he design the circuit" but rather "how did he design the physical manifestation of the circuit?"

Akin to "how did he layout that PCB?"
I prefer the assumption that people tend to be rational actors who account for their own costs than the assumption that there is some group of people able to rationally prescribe actions and account for the costs of other people they have never met.
I did remember the general strategy: take the opponent's king to a corner of the same colour as the bishop. There are a couple of moves that must be thought carefully. But the rest comes very naturally, provided you've practiced it a few times.
If you stick with HP zr range of monitors, you'll not have that problem
Is that a trick question? The answer is: it depends on what you consider a satisfying result.

You can stop higher than atoms anytime you think the result satisfies your experimental measurements.

It's not the ads that bother me [if they're not moving/sounding or actively drawing my attention]. It's the implicit cross site tracking.

If someone hosts their own ad content, I'm far more likely to click it if it's relevant (and won't block it, which is my default for anything cross-site).
People who produce goods and services for low-level programming shenanigans.
> be their own platform

The public commercial platforms offer far more than just a routable IP. You get reach, reliability, resilience, and security (the kind you don't get to build yourself).

Being your own YouTube/FB/Twitter/someChan/etc. platform means almost nobody will ever hear about you, the ones that do can easily wipe you off the internet, coming back is a real hassle, and that your data will leak is basically a forgone conclusion. Being your own Dropbox/GDrive may not need the reach but still relies the other three to provide value. And the list can go on for almost anything you can think of for "being your own platform".

The overwhelmingly vast majority of people have little to no interest in building and maintaining any such platform. It's why so few people actually do it today even when having a routable address. It's inconvenient even for skilled people, let alone regular ones.

I'll wait for a counterargument.
Can you walk through how you're managing storage of these photos? I've thought about doing something similar, but VPS like DO have very little HDD space. And Amazon S3 is massively expensive.

How are you handling the dollar expense vs storage capacity?
Oh yes of course what I meant was they are a huge ISP and have lots of customers, and if it doesn't "just work" for them, then what chance does anyone have of v6 taking off?
I'm with GF's Dad on this one. You're just a boyfriend, not even a fiance. You're not part of the family...yet. Non family members don't get to be in family photos. Event photos, yes, but not family ones.
I had to renumber a /24 once, and it was weeks of misery. Renumbering an /8 is a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. So while it would be nice if the USG and large companies did give back their /8's, I can hardly blame them for not wanting the trouble. It would only delay the inevitable anyway.
While not free, VC funds are still subsidizing Uber rides and driver incentives.
I think the point of the comment was precisely that I cannot simply let n be infinite. In fact, there's an old joke where that's the punchline.
We also have support for EXT2/EXT4 but it's not open source yet.
> Intels inability to build a latest generation fab has not changed.

That is going to take ~5 years, according to Intel's publicly released roadmaps (and if they actually succeed, which they may not).

That being said, Intel's "Intel 7" manufacturing node that they are shipping Desktop and Laptop processors on currently is surprisingly competitive. In the markets Intel is competing in, only Apple is currently using a more advanced manufacturing process to my knowledge. TSMC's N7 process, used by AMD and many others seems to be pretty similar in performance and efficiency.
I suppose "author" is out of the question.
That’s the way I understood it and I was stunned. I absolutely love that he used a poop emoji for the NFT that you’d see in your wallet. Haha.
This looks nice, particularly the automatic discovery.

Any monitoring system I've ever worked with can check for expired certificates. So usually the issue at previous jobs has been either there is no monitoring system (time to set one up!) or no SSL expiry checks are configured in the existing system (usually relatively straightforward to add manually or automate). I think I'd struggle to justify using yet another external service to cover that particular type of check.
FWIW I have never once interacted with Laravel's commercial model, or felt that I am being engineered into it. I just don't give it another thought.
Yes, signal would manage that. This is still more privacy preserving than a phone number because the the public key isn't attached to your identity in the way a phone number is. You'd still need to getAllContactsPubKey()->encr(PersonAKey)->SendToAllContacts

So signal knows you requested all your contact pubkeys, that you sent a duplicate broadcast to all contacts, obscuring who it was intended for... that could be 0-n of m persons.
That was back when computers had limited RAM and hard disk, and networking wasn't a thing.

We made due with band-aids for a long time, but they've reached their limits. Virtualization, Containerization, were all approaches that offered extremely course grained capabilities, in that they allowed you to specify a virtual disk for the machine, and no other access.

We tried enumerating all the bad programs - virus scanners.

We tried blaming the users - "You clicked on a bad link", Why did you open that attachment, etc.

We tried blaming the programmers - You need to write "secure code"

We tried blaming the compilers - Rust, etc.

We blamed everything except the Operating Systems that were not fit for purpose.

That needs to change, or we'll never be able to secure or data.
Isn't this what the autopilot thing is supposed to do kind of? Except it just gives you the auto-generated code.
Note that dos2unix and unix2dos do what you expect when used as filters, but overwrite the specified file in place when given a file name. This is a footgun second only to one in pdftotext, arguably, which (unsurprisingly) refuses to work as a filter and (surprisingly) will silently create a matching .txt file when passed a single .pdf as an argument.
Speak for yourself, I didn't build any of that mobile trash.
What credentials do I need to state and opinion on how it seems to have evolved? I'm not stating a scientific truth.

And yes, it is the fallacy of credentialism to attempt to use that as a measure of authority to make a statement. I could be a kernel developer of 20 years experience and have been terrible for all of them.
I've been working on a similar project in my spare time. I have a different mentality to it, but similar concept. I wish you the best of luck, while secretly hoping for your demise. Muahahaha! But seriously, good job!
Use your smartness to install routines and hacks in your life to help you cope with down phases. Use your up phases to the fullest of your potential. Help Lisp environment to become better and better.
I really would but I'll have to check with my clients. They were commissioned reports. Perhaps once I get everything compiled into something consumable by the public I'll release it as it's own HN post.

The gist of it was that to drive interaction with a website, cursor position is more important than following the "active corners" design philosophy.

So from a pure graphic design point of view placing the action button in the lower right is correct. We all learned that in design class.

However if you want people to actually interact with your action button then it's better to put it closer to where the cursor normally resides. All of my heat map testing shows there to be a natural cursor well on the left hand side.
Those are good reasons, although I must admit that I've hit none of them. I'm probably not as demanding a user, but compared to people I know that have DSL, Comcast seems like a godsend.

On CableCard, I had a great experience with them. I got two CableCards from them and they gave them to me for free. They worked fine, although I no longer use them.
disagree? tell me why when you downvote than. i'd love to hear your side.
This works better when the subsidiary does not rely on the parent's infrastructure.

In this case, if the subsidiary relies on the parent's pipe to each household, it's easy to imagine the boss of the traditional cable division constantly lobbying the CEO against the subsidiary disruptor; imagine the endless political claims:

- Our margins pay for the fixed costs of the pipe; if this subsidiary compromises our margin, the whole company will be unable to pay our fixed costs!

- This subsidiary should be charged the economic costs of supporting it: let's charge them a fixed rate per line to access the company's infrastructure. By the way, here's our cost accountants' report showing that this fee should be high. It's only fair.

- This subsidiary would only show earnings significant enough for Wall Street to care at a point in the future in which you will probably have moved on in your career, Mr. CEO. In the meantime, you'll be punished by the Street for development costs.

Etc., etc. Even with good intentions, when the air supply for a subsidiary disruptor is provided by the threatened parent, politics will probably win even if it costs the company in the long run.
Some background on the problem this is trying to solve:

There are a handful of mathematical theorems that basically say "there is no perfect voting system." More rigorously, they enumerate a list of desirable properties that you would like voting systems to have, and show that NO voting system can have all of these properties, because they are actually contradictory.

Some of these properties are things that are "obvious" ones that any practical voting system should satisfy: voting matters, there is no dictator, candidates can win, determinism. Two of them are non-trivial: absence of tactical voting, and irrelevance of independent alternatives (IIA). Tactical voting basically means you have a game-theoretic incentive to vote in a way that differs from your true desires. IIA basically means that if Gore would win a 2-man election against Bush, adding Nader to the race should not make Bush the winner. These properties are related, but not the same.

All of these properties are desirable, and a "perfect" voting system would have all of them, but you can't have all of them. You have to pick at least one to give up. Tactical voting in particular is extremely hard to remove, even if you give up IIA, while systems that satisfy IIA are somewhat complicated. The article suggests that it is very easy to satisfy all of the other criteria, if we let go of one of the "obvious" criteria: determinism.

So it's basically a question of picking your poison. You can have determinism, or you can get rid of tactical voting, but you can't do both. The author is contending that determinism is the best property to give up.

Further reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrows_theorem is one of the mentioned theorems, dealing with ranked-preference voting systems (vote-for-one-candidate is a special case). There are a few others for different classes of voting systems.
Norcal? The occasional toy hauler or boat. But no. For the most part they don't. Not that many trucks around tech buildings either.

Other parts of CA you'll get a lot of campers, boats, dirt bikes, mountain bikes... so yeah.
Did the staff respond with _why_ those are the password restrictions?
That's true. Also, as more computing power is added to its network, the difficulty of the hashing problem is increased to maintain the bitcoin creation rate at about 50 per ten minutes.
Most places still require a guarantor, which basically means you pay the estate agency to act as a guarantor. In light of the fact that key money and other deposit requirements have generally gone down over that past few years (nothing to do with foreigners here this is motivated by Japanese), I think it's a wash.

Getting a place is definitely more a pain in the ass than it ought to be, for Japanese but moreso for foreigners, but I don't think it's quite as bad as you've painted it.

edit: okay things have changed since you've left. I've been here since 2003 and I can confirm that, at least
Old, but the aftermath is really relevant. I am really glad of this post, and the amazing comments it ensued.

The best evidence for an education bubble can be found at Starbucks. The amount of people who have advanced degrees and work at Starbucks is simply astounding.
I think there is a generic implicit assumption that programmers in less rich countries are lower quality. Of course it is rarely said explicitly but it can be seen from some signs: salaries are so much lower here that I cannot see any other reason why not more development work comes here. When companies do offshoring they bring here only the boring job which does not need much creativity, etc...
Or the even older "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket"
I'm not a Rails developer...but it doesn't seem like rails should have a "new blog" command at all. Rails is a web framework. Frameworks are supposed to take care of all those annoying intricacies involved in building a web site. That would be things like URL mapping, routing web requests, handling gets and posts, talking with the database, session persistance...

A blog, on the other hand, is an application that should be written on top of all this. It would make more sense to me include this as an example application.

It seems pretty obvious to me that the intent of creating the "ruby new blog" command was to make it extremely easy to install the example blog app. However, by doing this, they are marketing rails as a magical framework. The framework auto-generating you a whole blog isn't really a good hello world program; it didn't teach me anything about how rails works.

I remember back when ruby first came out (I'm sure a lot has changed since) I was watching videos that introduced it, and every time the presenter would say something like "Hey you want a blog? Just type magic make me a blog command, and now you have a fully functioning blog with a built in CMS." I remember thinking to myself, "but I'm not building a blog" and then I went back to my PHP. I'm not saying this was the correct reaction, perhaps I should have instead gone and investigated it further, but that's how it was marketed, and I found it off-putting.
Have Apple relaxed their restrictions about duplicate functionality in apps produced by the same developer? GroupAhead are cloning their own apps with a seemingly fixed set of features (membership, calendar, forum, links). A friend had his app denied with Apple saying that the new app should be rolled into another app he had already created.
Can you please expand?
The idea and implementation of gene drives have been around for a while since the development of zinc finger nucleases ~20 years ago. The issue has been they were hard to do. Now with CRISPR's it has been remarkably easier. Interestingly in drosophila, there is precedence for engineering other forms of selfish genetic elements such as P elements (transposons). We will see where the technology goes, but we sure do live in interesting times when it comes to the engineering of biology.
If you ever wondered why Lispers were considered condescending, arrogant, self-absorbed dorks back in the old ways reading LoL might give you a few hints.

I can't recommend that Clojure people read Hoyte's masterpiece, because Clojure is the first "larger" Lisp without a completely horrible community and I'd like to keep it that way.
Sorry for the shameless plug but I just released HTTP server based on Lua coroutines (https://github.com/raksoras/luaw) that pretty much follows the exact design from the OP article.
Phantom Stock:

"Phantom stock grants and vesting agreements align employees' motives with owners' motives, i.e. increasing stock prices, while avoiding both taxable compensation and the need to give recipients voting or other rights typically associated with shares."
> This means your conversation is focusing on the tool which isn't the abstraction I'm emphasizing.

Your edit implies that I'm talking about a useless tool that can't do anything in the absence of Google, which simply isn't true.

The Go Modules tooling does not depend on any central resource to work. Google could shut down tomorrow, and nothing would change for existing projects. The go CLI tools would still be able to find, download, and verify the dependencies. I would still be able to add new dependencies, and the tooling would be able to fetch those.

What are you talking about, if not a functional package management system? Google's websites are nice, but they're not required for everything to Just Work.

Anyone in the C++ community could stand those websites up at any time after the package management tooling came into existence. They're not required for the functionality of the package manager.

> It's relevant if the particular person wondering "why C++ doesn't have a package manager?!?" uses a mental of model of how npm and cargo work. They don't have to know if it's github vs gitlab vs somewhere else. The tool just works without thinking about the location. That's what a canonical repo as a default convention for the client tool provides.

Go's CLI tooling literally doesn't provide any way to search for packages at all. You may think it's a requirement, but it's really not! Go requires you to know where the dependency is located, because Go sure doesn't unless you tell it!

It feels like I'm really awful at explaining things.
I bought a PS3 with Linux support and PSN access. Now I don't have either. Maybe they could randomly disable my controllers next.
Just for clarification: Richard Feynman, Nobel physicist wrote this piece about his experiences teaching in Brazil in... 1950.

So I don't think this is a very precise account of education in Brazil nowadays, but it sure does sound like education there (and almost anywhere else) in the 50s -- my mom tells me she would read out loud to herself until dawn the day before an exam, as she was taught auditory learning. This is not so common now as it was then.

But I agree that unfortunately, to this day, in any country and most schools out there, science is still taught to a large extent through dumb memorization and automatic formula application. Thus Feynman critique stands fresh and sound despite the anachronism. I feel education hasn't advanced nearly as fast as science, math, technology and society in the last century and a half.

(BTW, Feynman was infatuated with Brazil, and used to visit the country often. He even dressed up for carnival in Rio once: http://goo.gl/3p5RS -- I wish he would tell more about that in his autobiography, instead of such a broad generalization of his experience teaching there.)
