One day somebody sent me this. It still gets me every time.

I will try to live on earth without you.

I will try to live on earth without you.

I will become any object,
I don’t care what—

I will be this speeding train.
This smoke
or a beautiful gay man laughing in the front seat.

A human body is defenseless
on earth.

It’s a piece of fire-wood.
Ocean water hits it.
Lenin puts it on his official shoulder.

And therefore, in order not to suffer, a human spirit
lives
inside the wind and inside the wood and inside the shoulder of a great dictator.

But I will not be water. I will not be a fire.

I will be an eyelash.
A sponge washing your neck-hairs.
Or a verb, an adjective, I will become. Such a word

slightly lights your cheek.
What happened? Nothing.
Something visited? Nothing.

What was there you cannot whisper.
No smoke without fire, they whisper.
I will be a handful of smoke
over this lost city of Moscow.

I will console any man,
I will sleep with any man,
under the army’s traveling horse carriages.

-- Polina Barskova
Please stop defending yourself , accept what other know what they talking please.

You cannot setup a github repo for that.
That seems correct though - Miss is the appropriate title for a under 18y old.
Other than the obvious but of calculating "miss" as a kid, what about calculating the weight based on age and sex? That's potentially inaccurate too...
Imagine if there's a bodybuilding convention and a plane gets half booked by bodybuilders, they will be calculated with the average weight of an adult but they weight more than the double
You could say that was a near miss.
I was super pumped for this tech to start being used in human clinical trials, but a couple of years ago, there was a study[0] that raised some key concerns about CRISPR therapeutics increasing the risk of cancer due to some edited cells self-destructing once their genomes have been modified, leaving behind cells with a higher risk of cancer due to not being as sensitive to genomic edits. Have these challenges been overcome yet?

I think Apple generally goes for the first mover advantage. I think that's great.

I don't think there is any problem with Android using the way paved by Apple and taking it a different direction.

Competition begets better products at cheaper prices, what more could a consumer ask for?
Need: to look at what Tk looks like these days, not in 1998.

Is it perfect? No. It has improved a lot though, and if you want cross platform, you're probably never going to get "Apple beautiful". You're going to get a jeep, that gets you where you need even if it's not as nice to look at as the Ferrari.

Tk also screwed something up that PHP later copied in a certain sense: it made it really easy for people to do something. Many of those people were not "qualified" to create UI's and thus went on to make some really ugly stuff. Moral of the story: if you create tech that makes things significantly easier, lowering barriers to entry, try and foster a culture that helps create "beautiful" results.

Now now, BlackBerry is actually pretty good at e-mail. That's something.
I think the thing you are missing is not that Apple are happy or contented with low market share/high profit margins (which they are), but usually that they achieve that by succeeding in customer satisfaction.

In the US (not everywhere), they aren't hitting that note because they continue to be weighed down by AT&T. All those awesome features don't mean anything if you spend all your time bitching to your friends about dropped calls (which is all I hear from my non-techie friends here).

AT&T were shamed at the last WWDC over tethering and such, and they've been shamed again over new price plans which aren't necessarily consumer friendly, over continued awful service, over what Jobs himself said was "things have to get worse to get better... which means things will get really great soon." It used to be that Jobs would cancel a supplier to spite anyone who dared accidentally unveil a release before Apple did, and now it's a company that will let its brand get tarnished by having consumers kicked in the balls for five years straight.

Apple's exclusivity deal is anything but friendly to their customer base, and that is the key difference between the Apple of old and the Apple of new. People are upset not because the iPhone isn't great, but because Apple are acting like pricks, like they have done with Google and Google Voice, like they have with other App Store rejections (I find the "replicating iPhone features" particularly rich in comparison with all the spam apps on the App Store), like they have done about saying nothing to the consumer about why AT&T is sucking and why Apple appear to be doing nothing about it.

The Apple of old wouldn't have hamstrung their customers the same way Apple is now doing. Putting the user first was their mission. In the US, on the iPhone (less so the iPad), that is starkly not the case.
Except Apple probably didn't have a great deal of choice at the time. Remember, at the time, the best thing people had to compare the iPhone with was the Newton (and many of those comparisons were made).

AT&T was either extremely smart or extremely lucky for making the deal they did. I'm sure Apple gave up way more than they wanted to just to get the phone out the door.
If a business is profitable, a publicly listed company can "arbitrage" the deal. As some rough numbers, a private sale nets 2-4 times profit as value. A public company is valued at 10-12, sometimes as high as 20 times.

If they buy a company making $500,000 at 4 times (for $2 million) the publicly listed companies value goes up, at a 10 times multiple, by $5 million.

Spend 2, and increase own value by 5, for a net of 3 million. Seems like a nobrainer really.
imo the "Code for Android first, and iPhone/iPad second" suggestion to "Apple developers" has very little merit for most Apple developers

For developers, it will make more sense to distinguish between ideology/opinions of bloggers and cold market realities.

For starters, revenue returns of Android apps are generally a small fraction of revenue returns for identical iPhone apps in spite of the fact that iPhone owners have a lot more apps to choose from.
For another, the Android fragmentation problem makes life even more difficult for developers. As an example, when Twitter released their official Android Twitter app, only 27.3% of Android owners could even consider downloading it. The app wouldn't run on 82.7 of devices because of the fragmentation problem.

Now it does make sense for some apps to be released only on Android.
For instance, if you think that your app may be rejected by Apple, it will make more sense to just create an Android app.
If you're not comfortable with Objective-C, it makes sense to go with Android because Android apps are a lot easier to develop.

Btw If first-mover advantage is really the goal, Windows Phone 7 will be a much better option. However, many Android enthusiasts don't like Microsoft. So I suspect that they won't concede this as a great reason for Android developers to do Windows Phone 7 development first and the do Android second :)
gerrit was originally a port of rietveld for git, but is its own thing now. You run it on your own machine.
I have noticed it too. I think it's mostly just old fashioned karma whoring...
Capitalism is great where choice exists. Capitalism means each individual can choose how to allocate his resources based on the market at the time. I might decide, for example, that owning a car is currently too expensive and I'd rather shift that allocation towards owning a house. It's my choice.

Healthcare is not a choice. Nobody who discovers they are critically ill examines the market and decides it is not worth allocating resources to it. Once you're ill, you're all in. No choice. The only thing that makes capitalism good is gone. But everything that makes it bad is still there.
Hung for fermentation for a few months. Can see some of the process here[0]. It tastes a bit like strong cheese, with the same texture. Usually eaten with cold snaps.

A big difference around here is that sick people cannot go to work until healthy, specially in supermarkets and shops that did not close. It was quite common to come across cashiers with obvious strong colds if not worse. That is now named and shamed, sometimes even in the news.
GTA 2 still has the best radio selection in the series.

I would certainly think so except I live In Tokyo and people commuted in some of the most crowded trains in the world all through March 2020 until now. The numbers finally started rising in November 2020 but the morning rush hour trains have stayed packed in like sardines the entire time. IIRC at the highest amount of commute avoidance passenger numbers were down 20% (last April) but if you've ever been on a rush out train in Tokyo you know even 50% down would still be considered over crowded in most other cities.

I have no idea why that didn't cause spread like crazy. The only thought that comes to mind is nearly full face mask compliance but who knows?
> don't do important things on it.

How do you accomplish that? In my experience every single service on the internet relies on email for account creation, password recovery and general identity verification.

I'm not saying that's good, only that it's the current state of affairs.
If we stop eating animals (who eat plants) and eat the plants directly we'd end up needing a lot less "plant-based industry" than we currently have.

Most of our crop produce is for the live stock we keep.
I don't know what you mean by "finite infinite potentials". It seems a little word-salad-y?

For certain ERC20 tokens... but great move, and hopefully they can extend it to Bitcoin and others soon as well.
His instructions at the bottom include "ft.com". I couldn't find anything by googling. It turns out the "index" file on the FTP site describes each file:

Cruel and unusual punishment. This is ridiculous and makes me feel ashamed to be an American.
Agreed. This is exactly how I've always understood it.
That's what the Atlantic is like. They rarely take pieces that aren't in a similar style.
Thanks, Great points.. I will think how to best implement / solve them!

Netflix is a business. Regardless of their stance on open source software, they allocate resources to meet the demands of the market. The market for Netflix on Linux is vanishingly small. I use Linux, but if I were Netflix I'd ignore me, too.
Gene therapy makes me nervous every since it killed that random kid. Looks like there's some checksumming going on?
Interesting...in my techphilia, I found HackerNews through just following interesting stories, and landing on a singular discussion, which is now a daily obsession of going through the posted articles :D

This exposure is one of those hard to ROI measure functions (press) etc.
It is sometimes even worse than that, my doctor appointments have to go through WhatsApp too. I don't like WhatsApp but I have no choice when my health depends on it.
Symbian definitely had to go. But that's why Nokia had Meego-Harmattan. It's as if Apple announced they were going to stop developing their own software, right after replacing classic Mac OS with OS X.

And, instead of adopting Windows for future Macs, Apple was going all-in on Solaris.

And, Steve Jobs had just stepped down as interim CEO, and his replacement just happened to be a former Sun Microsystems executive.

And, Apple's investors were apparently okay with this.
Not just that, but Apple has a brand to defend. In all their keynotes, maybe excluding the first iPhone, they don't even acknowledge other phones. You should buy the next iPhone because its better than the previous, not because its better than an android. And because of that stance, they spend zero effort in supporting other platforms. And apparently... That works just fine!
Wait...this isn't an April Fools' joke?
So, fuck that. The Chinese gov are bullies, but now they're treading on my lawn (or the lawn where I host my things, and all other things of interest/importance).

What can I do? I already block ad tracking code in my browser with µblock. Can I send an email to some English-speaking representative of the communist party telling them to fuck off, and that I'll make sure to chose things not Made in China from now on?
I've been thinking of doing just that for Mac OS X. If you'd like to do it yourself, more power to you.

There are many, many ways that private information gets logged on OS X. Often it's not the fault of the operating system but of third-party applications.
Almost by definition, if you're dumb enough to leave a hole in your security, you're not dumb enough to realize when it's been broken. There are exceptions, but unless you've been harmed by the action, it's hard to find someone if you don't even know where to look.
"What I was reacting to is what I hear relatively often - 'hey my house/room rent is X / m2, why can't I find an office for that price? It's just me and my buddy and we're broke and most likely out of business in 6 months, why don't landlords love us?'." - absolutely, I agree completely with you on that. If you can't afford it, you can't afford it.

We're not at all about making landlords turn themselves into co-working spaces.

We want to make renting office space easy.

At it's most basic distillation this means "search and transact" - matching supply and demand as best as possible. We believe this is broken due to assumed knowledge, market fragmentation and asymmetric information as mentioned in the blog post itself.

This not only improves the experience for companies looking for space, but allows those who own space to be discovered a a lot quicker. The very fact that zillions of craigslist clones already exist goes to show that this problem just has not been solved yet.

What we mean by Spacious helping liquidity is a derivative of search and matching supply with demand. If you are confident that you will be able to find a tenant quickly because there is a platform that exists to effectively match supply and demand, then you may have slightly less hesitancy in letting out your space to someone for <1yr.

Of course, I absolutely agree that common sense, and a typical risk / reward scenario means that you will always want to lock in a tenant for as long a lease as possible. This tenant would ideally have great covenants and >5yrs of financial history.

The point I was referring to in my initial response was to the no. of companies now springing up that need <1yr leases because of uncertainty and how a space owner may benefit from that... whether this is from co-working or subletting if you are already a tenant.

Your insight is very much appreciated and I really do enjoy discussion around this!
That's why the fastest SSD's use PCI Express instead of SATA.

I agree, but the OP wanted "wisdom" and to add "excitement" to their life. I think these two come naturally through the process of building a family - at least, they have for me :-) Of course, such things shouldn't be forced and, I dare say, it's not for everyone.
I get 37S's philosophy, and I thank them for being so transparent about their goals, so that I can be sure never to use one of their products.

Entrepreneurial companies, by their very nature, change. It's hard for me to fathom why a startup would build their software development process around a tool optimized for inflexibility, no matter how enticing, when that might inhibit their ability to fix something broken about their business later.
I'm not surprised. I can imagine that many of those engineers cooped up in the googleplex for the vast majority of their waking hours, not leaving for lunch, not leaving for dinner, might kinda start to forget how to interact with women altogether.
Well he is a developer advocate/evangelist, of course it's going to sound really sales-pitchy.
If you get enough Omega-3's, then sure! Plus, you get to learn a useful skill. That should wrinkle the brain a bit.
Whoa! Awesome talk, but he misses the concept of getting credit/fame/legacy. I don't think everyone working on Linux is doing it for autonomy or to enjoy becoming good at something - doing such things to boost your profile is a huge motivator for some people. (It is for me, I'll always turn down better paid opportunities for those that can give me more exposure and that look better in my CV.)

The example he gives of giving people autonomy for a day and them coming back with lots of great solutions seems to rely on the concept of exposure and showing off as much as "autonomy." If you can get a day to make something good and have to show it off at the end of the day, many people are going to be fueled as much by pride and ego as the enjoyment of autonomy.
Thanks for the info, I have little NLP experience but have been diving into machine learning and simple neural nets. What are your thoughts on NLTK? I've yet to use it.
My project has a "sort by last name" requirement, but we wanted to accomodate "funky" names. Here's what I did:

There are four fields in the database:

first_name
last_name
display_name
primary_email

All 3 name fields are optional. The email address field is required, but you could use a customer ID or username if that is more appropriate for your app.

The name are never accessed directly, except on the one form where you can edit these fields. In general, they are accessed by these two helper methods:

@property
def name(self):
if self.display_name:
return self.display_name
if self.first_name and self.last_name:
return self.first_name + ' ' + self.last_name
return self.primary_email

@property
def last_first(self):
if self.first_name and self.last_name:
return self.last_name + ', ' + self.first_name
if self.display_name:
return self.display_name
return self.primary_email

Then we do a culture specific case insensitive sort. This should cover most cases pretty well....... I hope :-)
If it doesn't come with a vim-mode or that vim-mode is slow and painful to customize, then this will be useless.
I found your bot really annoying. I don't need someone telling me there is another submission with no points and no comments.

It almost felt petty, that you were scolding the submitter for submitting content that had already been submitted. The comments section of Hacker News is one of the last places on the web that has not been hammered with noise.

I would be somewhat interested in how you solved this problem automatically though.
They have been acquired by LastPass: http://blog.xmarks.com/?p=2033
Yeah seriously. This contest reminded me of the Netflix contest and that one landed you 1 million dollars if you won.
The dupe links seemed useful to me. If something has already been discussed at length, I'd like to know about it.
While I agree with you on some level - I too have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to late payments - I still get sucked into these situations no matter how wise to it I am.

I've been doing the freelance dance for 10 years and for some reason in the last 4 months I've now fallen into the trap of non-paying clients on huge projects, twice. Its incredibly degrading, especially when I thought that at this stage in my career I had solved this problem.
I think it was an atheist rick-roll.
I don't see how you could call him prescient when he was talking about conditions as they existed at the time of his comments. The fact that they apply just as well today simply means that conditions haven't changed much.
I had the same reaction, simply because if you entered the challenge and actually produced a better spell checker, you would probably have a few people other than Microsoft willing to pay a bit more than $10,000.

Now if it were a million or two, I'd totally do it.
This site is a poor copy of flavors.me. I once took the liberty of illustrating that idea: http://grdn.cc/post/1171539069/flavors-me-vs-about-me-in-tod...
There are a few exceptions and/or borderline cases. Press releases are one. The best third-party article on a story is usually better than the press release.

Past explanations (in a corporate context, not a government one, but I don't think that makes a difference here):

Btw I realize that it can be frustrating when the guidelines aren't applied in the most obvious way, but they aren't mechanical rules, and there are tons of edge cases we've learned how to deal with over the years. The intention is always to foster the intended spirit of intellectual curiosity, not to have a strictly rule-bound system.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

It would be way too much to try to list all these edge cases in the guidelines (or anywhere else really) but we're always happy to answer questions.
I agree, looks like a pretty good idea. Any type of change like this always gets negative opinions, same thing happened when they put roundabouts in and now everyone loves them and want more of them.
This happened pre-TSA and pre-body scanners too.

Literally every time I went UK->US 1996 to 2010 I got "randomly" selected by some/all of immigration, security, and customs. I can only assume I looked/behaved dodgy in some way, was on some kind of list, or was just darn unlucky!

Incidents within the EU. Zero.

I've only just got the point where I've stopped scheduling a couple of extra hours of security-slack into my travel schedule ;-)
TBH, I'll almost never use vim without my configuration files. The only times i might do this is if I need to do a very quick edit to a config file, in which case typing at 50% efficiency isn't going to hurt that much.
According to Neal Stephenson, the most badass adversary humankind has faces is influenza.

I tend to nod in agreement, smiling wryly.
Don't mean to put too fine a point on it, but could you give me any example of an invention throughout history that you would not class as obvious? I'm wondering what your standards are.
We aren't going to be nearly as expensive as that. Contact us :-).
Same here!which routine are you on
