I am pretty sophisticated in terms of my acceptance of modern finance but I am a heels-dug-in naysayer when it comes to buybacks. I hate them and I think they are evil. But what can you do
Montenegro and Ecuador are effective colonies in their most developed areas.

Most of the valuable property in major metros is owned directly by US-based or EU-based emigrees , who paid top dollar for property that has a ROC duration in excess of 20 years.

Most of the metro areas on these countries are rapidly turning hollow projects which cheap rents or undeveloped land. It is quickly becoming like paris.

Flat rental 2000 EUR. Buy price: 2M EUR.

When someone that is not a local is taking all your valuable land... Thats the textbook definition of colony

Maybe it was just me, but I totally didn't "get it" at first that these were sort of steps that build on each other and should be done in order.

So it seemed really strange to me that I had to connect my twitter account before I could follow @dropbox, and the error message you get when you click on the follow one before the auth one is not very descriptive.

Otherwise, really cool offer, thanks guys.
Closed source binary blob needed for client. Meaning it doesn't work on PPC/MIPS/ARM computers. (Not important to most, but it's a valid technical reason why not.)
Then they should at least have a plan for knowledge transfer rather than letting those people die/retire without passing on the knowledge, no?
Sure but you lock it once and you're all set. When the OP said frequently I envisioned him locking/unlocking more often than that. The thing is screen orientation only matters if the display is on. If the display is on the task switcher lock control is accessible. There would basically never be any use for the lock button when the display was off. Contrast that with audio playback where the display may be off and the task switcher audio controls inaccessible.
That strikes me as likely to only be a problem during a transitional phase - once the hiring manager is somebody who's also a facebook addict and also knows there are some pictures on there from when he/she was younger in which stupid shit was being done, it'll go away.
Don't even joke about that :( FoxTwitter cringe
I could imagine YC might consider there might be a conflict of interest in funding you (although they have funded competitors before).
The main thing about the Iraq War Logs was that there was nothing particularly new or surprising or shocking. Details about incidents, but nothing war critics didn't already assume had happened many times.

When someone says "We've got horrible things to reveal", your imagination fills in the blanks, extrapolating from what we've already found out to even more horrible extremes.

But then what Wikileaks revealed didn't live up to that. It was pretty much more of the same things we already knew.

It's no wonder the reaction was subdued. It doesn't mean people don't care, it just means we're too burnt out to work up a rage about the sorts of things we already knew were happening.

I agree with the sentiment that doing well today requires a level of vigilance and a careful eye on the employment market. The specific job function you mention is an example where the bulk of the employment market was created, promising, and then turned into a low-paying glut in a 10-20 year time frame.

But hey, if you pay attention you can see these things coming, so it's okay right?

Maybe, but it is worth remembering that the old unionized economy provided people with greater career stability. I wouldn't personally want to do the same thing for my whole career, but having been in the workforce I've seen lots of relatively capable web dev's and the like who are going to be up shit creek the next time a shift comes.

It is sad to say, but constant effort toward re-invention and education is a rarity in our society. I think as a society we need to figure out how much of this is reasonable to expect from the average person and accordingly make sure that kids learn of this expectation from a young age. I think it is fairly obvious that having to learn a whole new field every year is too much, but where is the line?
It feels that you want to solve multiple problems at once, not impossible, but more complicated.
There is a great leap between installing git and node.js and writing a working, publishable project. I wish it was that easy. The site also didn't explain the process of creating a project from start to finish. It would be nice to see the time requirement for completing one. Is it 1 day or 1 month?

I definitely agree that there is a great drop-out among wannabees, but for them codeacademy style portals are a better fit imho. I tried to teach my designer girlfriend using codeacademy and it didn't go very well, but it was probably a motivational issue. Then I showed her how to modify HTML and she is able to update her site now without my help. So finding the sweet spot it very hard and I feel you need to target more accurately.
For example are you sure somebody just learned about functions, for loops and arrays are OK with command line tools and understand how GIT, Grunt, Gulp and node.js relate?

How insane is it that they are still allowed to use asbestos in things that are released in the consumer market? No one wants to live in a litigious society, but these companies will not stop doing this until their billion-dollar profits are punished with billion-dollar verdicts.
That is super interesting. I'm actually working more closely with Apache OpenNLP for feature extraction and LibLINEAR to classify the news according to their category. Its not too far from coming out of alpha to an open beta version. Why not subscribe to the mailinglist and I'll shoot you more infos over in the upcoming weeks?
> Having a dedicated space for studying, open 24/7, within 20m of my room was absolutely liberating and fundamental to the experience.

My sentiments exactly. I chose my undergrad college (not at Oxford) for the sole reason that it made particular mention that its library was open 24/7 on its website. I figured it was as good a reason as any, and it turned out great.

I've also had experience with another university in the states that has an open stacks policy–anyone can just walk in and use a desk or read a book, no registration, card swipes or anything required. Absolutely liberating. Instantly made the university so much more welcoming (contrast this to the university I'm currently at where you have to jump through hoops to get a visitor access to the library, and if they're there without someone to sponsor them, god help them).
> #13 In any code block, store local references to out-of-scope variables.

That doesn't even make sense. The for-loop block doesn't create a new scope, so it's perfectly valid to refer to the variable `a`. Plus, even if you create a new scope, you can still refer to `a` due to closure.
omg, they are so bad. I dont even want to start
Could be cool to use Mattermost instead of Slack, given the concept is supporting open source.

Oh, you mean the protection of being forced to work for a failing employer. Yes, so much protection /s
This further demonstrates the need for a cooperative non-profit marketing agency made up of several independent small taxi-cab/logistics companies as members. It is clearly an unprofitable field but the individual merchants benefit quite a bit it would seem. Nevertheless, uber's unprofitability actually makes california's actions even more reprehensible, because not only are the drivers no longer allowed to work on their own app, but they are also forced to work, in the meantime, for a company that's losing money and likely to face bankruptcy. In other words, they're being exploited for temporary gain by the state of California, who likely just wants to get their hands on payroll tax.
A year!
Why have successors to IPv4 been designed with variable-length addresses as in earlier versions?
What exactly did people expect to happen with this bizarre trade war? Instead of pressuring 'bad actor' countries with more free trade and something like TPP, levying pointless tariffs was obviously going to drive any joint international groups overseas. Just brainless stuff.
For web servers it will be CGNAT in reverse. One overloaded IPv4 load balancer trying to keep up with too many servers behind it. But you'll be able to use its IPv6 address directly.
And how the hell is this supposed to work, exactly?

edit: Ah, it's just a proxy. From their FAQ:

"How does Onavo work?

With Onavo installed, web, email and app data sent to you is streamed through Onavo's magical shrinking machine before reaching your iPhone. For the geeks out there, what happens is that Onavo acts as a proxy server for your iPhone, which compresses inbound data to Safari, Mail, Facebook, Google Maps, Twitter (currently only TweetDeck and EchoFon) and other apps."
This article reads like nonsense - but this is not a criticism of AWS.

The real problem is there is no good mathematical model of distributed behaviour, from which statistical guarantees can be made.

I think we're at the limit of what the smartest people can achieve with hand crafted code.

Most likely new math will give rise to new tools and languages, in which the next generation of reliable distributed systems will be written.

Without this advance we will have storage networks that aren't reliable, an internet that can be taken down by one organization, botnets that are unkillable and patchy network security.
It's a rare condition when I upvote before reading.. but I do it from a time to another.. if I find something exciting.
As always, quoting the actual text helps (http://www.rogerclarke.com/II/IWtbF.html):

"On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other."

Nothing to do with software or products.
Good luck on the dissertation!
If you want a more complex Java you can have Scala. Scala remains hostile to newcomers with an almost vertical learning curve. I don't think anyone can seriously argue that commercial programmers need a more complex language.
You can still do it, it just presents an extra hurdle, e.g. see this project on integrating OpenCV into a Swift project:

https://github.com/foundry/OpenCVSwiftStitch

So it is possible.
This, and boilerplate != simplicity. The D example in the article - now that is simplicity. Language designers would be well served to acknowledge this.
I know many academics that exclusively use Haskell or even Idris and Agda which are even more obscure but more correct.

Agda is so “correct” that the language is total and not Turing complete with the exception of a “partiality monad” that allows for partial and Turing complete computations — similarly to how Haskell isolates effects on the world from the main language and encapsulates them into a special type, Agda isolates partial computations.

And this language is very much used within specific academic fields.
>genes will never code for homosexuality, because it is such a crippling failure for the organism

It's not necessarily a failure for the gene just because the organism doesn't reproduce. Genes extend beyond the organism to the family.

It would be more surprising that it persisted in less social species.
I finally understood what monads and monad transformers are about. And there comes arrows and linear types. Ouch, my head hurts.

> "But perhaps someone else is working on the same ideas you thought of already? If you found someone like that, would you want to join them?"

Yes.

> "And perhaps you'll find someone with better ideas than yours, so their project would be a better use of your time?"

Yes.

As I implied before, it's not about individual glory, it's about making things better so I can enjoy doing what I want with a clearer conscience.

oh, it's all perfectly in jest.
It would be nice if there was a single, easy to use site for mere mortals to enter bug reports

Many bug trackers suck in many ways, but the intractable problem is that reporting and tracking down bugs is hard. Each bug takes a lot of work to reproduce (sometimes days of work), and the farther you are from the person who saw the behaviour, the harder it gets to reliably reproduce (their combination of hardware, software and human behaviour triggered the bug after all). Bug trackers are an attempt to transfer some of that cost to the reporting party, and to make reproducing the bug easier. The solution you are proposing just transfers it all back to the developer, though I like the idea of crowd-sourcing bug finding, in many ways this is what github does already.

In addition to that bugs are intermingled with features in the user's mind - what they consider a bug (why doesn't it do this), would often be considered a feature request by developers. What they consider a bug might even be considered a feature by the developers or other users.

I think attacking those problems would move the art of bug reporting further on, rather than making life easy for end-users - reporting a bug is already very easy to do on github say, it's just not easy to do it properly so that your report has a chance of being listened to.
I only discovered Rumi relatively recently, but it was quite a revelation. This one really struck a chord with me:

Normally, I think of ways to increase involvement with OSS communities.

He's helping people, and probably learning in the process, which is great. But it would be even better if he could add a touch of "help people help themselves"; otherwise I'm concerned that the OSS process will feel a little more sterile.
Not really on topic, but hilariously on point with the tech industry.
> Too many layers of abstraction. :P

Not necessarily! That next abstraction may enable you to simplify your implementation, carving out lower layers of abstraction cruft.
What is needed is a middle ground between OSS and proprietary licensing. Towards this end we are attempting to define a new software license that is organized around the idea of a software cooperative. This provides the basis for a sustainable business model that OSS, frankly, does not have.

This also helps solve the larger problem of concentration of wealth/power within large corporations as the cooperatives would be distributing the wealth to all participants and not just to founders.

It also provides a better path for startups so they don't have to borrow VC money and can get the help of the community to move them toward profitability in the long term rather than taking the first available bag of money from disinterested investors who only want a return on "their" money.

Cooperatives are among the most stable forms of enterprise and are run via direct democracy (at least in our view.)

Just to point out that some people are the opposite: I gave up on reddit (which I now never look at at all: I just can't stand the people there) and started using Facebook as a news source. I follow a number of news sources I like, and many of my friends share interesting articles on the subjects they know a lot about; I then have conversations with people I know about the content of the articles, as opposed to random people, which I find much more valuable, as we slowly build up a shared knowledge of what is actually happening (as opposed to constantly feeling like I am talking with a blank slate: on Hacker News I finally decided I now just "fire and forget" comments, as otherwise it is just too frustrating to have to have the same conversations over and over again with people about complicated corner cases of subtle topics).
I don't follow, what exactly is not the case?

Edit: by the way, are you the one downvoting the posts critical of Cloudflare? I noticed you contribute to their repos on GitHub, and I didn't spot any downvotes on comments that are replies to yours.
What an awful, incoherent article. I had to read almost to the end to learn that the basic problem was too much ploughing. I don't have time to get fully pre-educated on every environmental problem I am supposed to be angry about; maybe if Monbiot and other advocates put a little bit effort into explaining the issue of soil erosion they'd attract more support for their position.
> This killed the basic advantage of RISC. The "all instructions the same length" concept really killed it - it meant 2x code bloat. That meant bigger caches or worse cache performance. It meant more RAM and more RAM bandwidth or worse memory performance. The x86 instruction set, for all its faults, is compact.

I'm not really sure that is a big deal today, however. Maybe it was when caches were much smaller, but AArch64 went back from a variable width encoding scheme (Thumb) to uniform width instructions in 64-bit mode, without any problems that I'm aware of, and the performance is quite good. At the same time, the x86-64 ISA has gotten quite a bit less space-efficient: because of the extension to 16 registers, REX prefixes are everywhere and eat up lots of bytes of the instruction stream.
Some project managers use Jira. Developers use Bugzilla.
> ...if I could only use 1 piece of software forever, it’s probably Excel.

Google Sheets gives Excel a real run for its money. It's less powerful in many ways (example: getting data is more complicated) but makes up for it with the ability to collaborate and run multi-platform. Sheets is one of the more underrated products in the Google Apps portfolio.

Disclaimer: I reached the awe stage on Excel many years ago.

It'd be interesting to see numbers on how many people serving a life sentence would choose to commit suicide if materials for a painless suicide were readily available. Prisons actively attempt to keep people from doing so, and it's apparently frequent enough to be a major problem at some prisons.
London, UK - Pusher - Full time - Can sponsor VISA - No Remote

The current Pusher product is a multi-tenant distributed system that allows our customers to deliver billions of messages to their connected users. We operate at massive scale, and this informs and affects everything we do.

Our engineering team is based in London. We are looking for engineers who will thrive in a challenging environment, working on interesting problems. Our team is small but growing, and we value people who can contribute not only individually, but in the context of the team. Our engineering team is also heavily involved in operations, so you need to know how to deploy, monitor and maintain a large production system.

We are currently looking for:

* A VP of Engineering to help grow and manage our engineering team. More info in this job ad http://pusher.com/jobs/vp_of_engineering
* Platform engineers that can build and improve our core platform. More info on http://pusher.com/jobs/platform_engineer

We have a tier visa license and can sponsor work VISA for non EU workers.
This is in fact an older theory before kin selection dominate the field.
How do you know "most" are false? Who are you to determine whether someone is legitimately offended?
Please bring back the comment scores. It helps a lot in parsing the comments and assigning a proportional weight to each when reading them.
It should be this simple. Hopefully circumstances will force society to cut some of the bullshit and implement it. At the moment there is a lot of waste and mis-allocation of resources.
You wrote that! I used that when I first started doing web development to show posts from certain categories in wordpress before that feature made it into the core.

Man we've come a long way since then.
I think this sentiment is right on and that the article cited overemphasizes the importance of syncing and interoperability across devices. This is an important issue for the early adopters who use consumer electronics to their fullest potential, but not for mainstream consumers who use devices as stand-alones and base purchase decisions more on what they are comfortable with and branding than technical features.
Serious question: Do you include those working at Google and Facebook under this group? Or equivalently ad-driven services? Those two companies (and their siblings) are certainly the most fruitful of trees for surveillance organizations (government or otherwise) to pluck information from.

Further, they're not collecting this data for any purpose – vague, questionable, and slippery though it may be – of doing "good" or "protecting our country." They're doing it, solely and without an attempt at justification, for ad revenues. And they're taking tens of thousands (if not hundreds?) of some of the brightest minds in tech away from things like drug discovery, climate change, energy research, etc.

Not trying to start a flame war, nor am I drawing equivalencies between Facebook and the NSA. I'm actually just legitimately curious how you think we can segment this spectrum.
I agree with what you are saying, but my effective tax rate this year in California was ~40%. All of the above benefits for an additional 20% sounds like a bargain.
