Facebook's terms of service say that, but I haven't seen any indication that they enforce it.
thanks... maybe I need the subtitled version of the video :)
You'll get an IndexError exception on that if there are any blank lines in the file.

Changing that to line.lstrip().startswith('#') would be an alternate approach.
> They aren't a storage company, they are a company who facilitates transactions and like any other bitcoin business needs to securely store their btc.

That's quite simply wrong; they are the most popular online wallet there is. You simply cannot make this claim, it's patently untrue.
Seriously. Yahoo is a platform for people who semi-professional homem makers in the 90's. Delicious is one of their properties that is not like all the rest. Their bridge to the literate web!
Who cares about amendments? Is it moral or not?
It needs to be combined with something else. Imagine if hn or reedit knew which pages you like because they host your bookmarks. The homepage could be completely tailored to you, and now users have a reason to visit often and there is advertiser real-estate.
Depending on what you use in delicious, pinboard.in may be a good replacement. It has all the things from delicious I used, none of the things I didn't, and a few other cool features (like saving notes directly, rather my my system of saving pastebins).
I've been part of the Wakemate beta program. I was told to not post a detailed review but that I could give my general opinion. It's a great device, and I would pay $50 for it. I understand why those who pre-ordered long ago might feel burned, but for others who may be considering getting one, I would urge you to ignore all of that drama and evaluate the finished product as it stands.
For the love of FSM, do it! I speak for a vast majority of Android users here on HN when I say I'd buy this even if it cost five times what it does now.
Market size. People speculate it's only worth $1M a year to Amazon. But what could it be if it were better done?
The place I worked at last year in Boston's Back Bay (finance) upped their internal referral bonus from $5,000 to $10,000.

There's been a bit of a tug-of-war between financial companies and Kendall/Central/Harvard Square for a while now. The difference between the two camps is Cambridge is more open about it, while Boston (particularly finance) is more hush-hush about it and still stays very defensive in salary negotiations.

Large referrals aren't new to Cambridge though. I'm old enough to remember the Honda S2000s and the Ferrari 355 Ars Digita offered employees for repeat referrals.
* To play the devils advocate: IMO, it's the focus on the micro steps that's the problem.*

I don't think so. Everyone builds on a solid foundation and microsteps. I think what tends to happen though, and is discussed in the article, is that by the time kids reach HS they either have a very solid foundation, or an extremely poor one. The kids with the poor foundation will have trouble understanding things regardless of how long you spend on it. They've developed gaps over the past nine years of math education.

I think if we address the gaps upfront in elementary school that in HS math will move much quicker. Not because the kids are smarter, but simply because you aren't compensating for 30 kids in a class who all struggle with a variety of concepts they should have learned in elementary school.
Just needs to be a clean and well-lighted place.
It doesn't say that on the page. I bounced because I assumed that any app that wants permission to post to my timeline is going to spam some kind of advertisement for itself -- unless I have a reason to trust it. In this case, I've never heard of the app and I don't know who you are, so I don't.

I'm just explaining why I immediately left; I don't know if this happens frequently enough for you to care.
I am probably the last person on HN to realize this. I've been working at home for ages (like since Hanson was still a popular band), and I'm really finding out how wacky the long term psychological effects are.

Spending too much time at home makes me more negative about everything. In particular, I'm starting to wonder if working from my home office makes me a little too pessimistic about my business and less willing to take risks. I feel pretty crabby about work when I'm working from my home desk, but as this article points out, working at a coffee shop makes my work seem cooler. That shift in attitude is a revelation both for productivity and creativity.
I'd speculate that most people are more effective when they feel observed and having strangers around you creates that situation.

Now coming to think about it I think this is why they had posters of the leader in "1984" everywhere.
"Couldn't care less", not "Could care less". Sheesh!
You might want to hold off if it's not of immediate need. Should be a new product release in september, or possibly at WWDC this summer. Then you can decide whether to get the M1 for cheaper or M2 for same price.
I can't believe this insane idea has made Hacker News most popular. I heard the pitch in person a couple months ago and thought they were fantasizing.

So now it's trending. Either I'm the stupid one, or the upvoters are. Most probably it's me. LOL.

Good for the founders.

SO also keeps jQuery signals loudest.
Some shameless promotion for a PR I worked on: If you're using the AMD features of TypeScript, support for named AMD modules also made it out in TypeScript 1.4. An example of the syntax can be found in the following file: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/blob/v1.4/tests/case...
I gotta disagree with the entire purpose of this. We should completely abandon "Are you sure?"-style confirmations.

Instead, we should provide rich feedback for the delete action taken, followed by the opportunity to undo. Wrap that up into a re-usable library, and that'll be a real step forward.
I vaguely remember reading a theoretical article about a compiler that would embed a virus in the result. If it propagated itself somehow, it could be impossible to remove it.
I just want two call buttons. One for "call, but don't disturb if person's busy" and one for "call with a high priority, we have an emergency".

And an option to punch someone in the face over the phone if they had used the second button when they should've used the first.
> And as we can see, it's very difficult to write a law which only allows these "acceptable" forms of QoS.

The IP header has QoS bits. It's not hard to write a law that doesn't prohibit ISPs from honoring those bits, or even from charging customers for a given amount of bandwidth at a given level of service. As long as any service/application can tag their packets however they like, and as long as the ISP is treating all equivalently tagged packets equivalently, there is no network neutrality problem with that. And it provides a clear line.

Trying to put significantly more complicated logic than that into the middle of the network in order to try to recognize specific types of traffic is inherently defective anyway. The ISP would end up picking winners and losers based on what traffic it recognizes for prioritization. And it would inherently bias the future of the internet against innovations because new protocols would be unrecognized until they became sufficiently popular and would never become sufficiently popular if they can't be prioritized but have to compete against incumbent protocols that are.
Holy moly, the Internet thrives on bullshit.

You best not believe much you see on the Internet! So much crap is made up and goes viral for surprise the almighty dollar.
"Rest of the world" is a bit of an overstatement, and even then it's only within certain zones. Inter-zone transfer on the global level is still slow and costly, where ever you are.
This would be a lot more helpful if there were a line with actual daily hospitalizations as well.
Letters to the editor probably go through the same meat grinder.

I sent a comment once, that was published. It had been entirely rewritten, with almost no loss of meaning but complete overhaul of style, and no indication that it had been the case.

I didn't mind that it was rewritten, but thought they should disclose that fact.

Edit: I mean I think they should make it clearer to readers that published letters have been rewritten, and in some cases, heavily.
> Inequality is simply inherent to capitalism.

I can’t say for certain whether or not this is true but I really don’t think it is. The entire premise of capitalism is that we’re all better off through specialization and trade. It’s the _very_first_thing Adam Smith writes in The Wealth of Nations.

We use the word “inequality” a lot at the moment but I think, in some ways, it’s a bit of a misnomer because the true issue the term “inequality” attempts to describe is that people aren’t getting the “better off” end of the deal that capitalism promises. For a lot of people participating in capitalism there isn’t any action in their set of available actions where they’re economically better off than they were before.
In the UK, "Middle Class" is more of a mindset than an economic class (although economic class is definitely a part of it).

You can think of it more as the US middle-upper-class.

This musical number from the UK comedy "Mongrels" more-or-less nails the mindset:

That sure is not going into any job description for EA. This CEO either lucked out or this poor EA is overworking 10x.
A company cannot identify an independent board member randomly. There are laws for that as well:

e.g. * When determining whether the members of a committee of the board of directors are independent, the registrant's definition of independence that it uses for determining if the members of that specific committee are independent in compliance with the independence standards applicable for the members of the specific committee in the listing standards of the national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system that the registrant uses for determining if a majority of the board of directors are independent. If the registrant does not have independence standards for a committee, the independence standards for that specific committee in the listing standards of the national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system that the registrant uses for determining if a majority of the board of directors are independent.*

This highlights what I feel is the real issue with such medications... over prescription. You, clearly, need(ed) it and it was a literal life saver. I was also put on some of these medications and while they evened me out that meant they killed the highs as well as the lows. I feel like they altered my personality and not in only good ways (overall creativity took a hit... I was in a creative field at the time, libido took a massive hit). Now I see my daughter and (pretty much) all of her friends being given these medications for what seem like relatively superficial reasons and years after the initial, "Wow, I have less X" many of them are starting to wonder if it is worth it as they experience periodic "brain fog", disassociation and other possible side effects.

My own opinion... these are powerful tools. Critical to some. Overprescribed for most
I do understand the idea that "quick and dirty" fixes to climate problems create moral hazard, and that pursuing risky solutions to problems can sometimes create even bigger problems further down the road. I'm not unsympathetic.

However, there's a plausible case that we already face near-unstoppable climate change even if we can radically reduce carbon emissions. We might not be able to have "just" 1.5 or 2 degrees of warming, because at 2 degrees warmer we see melting permafrost and escaping methane. We really do need to know exactly what tools we have available if we find that we need to force the Earth's temperature back to 20th century levels in short order. Delaying investigation of geoengineering just means that any decision to use the technology will need to be taken more quickly, with less available data, than would otherwise be the case.
Another well received paper [1], but I want to point out that ICLR should really have an industry track.

The type of research in [1] (exhaustive analytic study on various parameters on RL training), is clearly beyond typical academia environment, probably also beyond normal industry labs. Note the paper was from Google Brain.

The study consumes a lot of people's time, and computing time. It's no doubt very useful and valuable. But I dont think they should be judged by the same group of reviewers with the other work from normal universities.

This mirrors my experience. I had an S3, and my experiences with that and having to deal with the S4 for work turned me off of Samsung entirely.

Later on I ended up upgrading from my HTC One M8 to a refurbished S8 (it was one of the only phones on the market that was small enough for my tastes), and honestly I love it. All the flashy aesthetic stuff I had scoffed at Samsung for (curved screen edges, etc) ended up feeling really great once I was using the phones, ignoring Bixby gives me a free extra hardware button, the Samsung apps stack up pretty nicely against the stock Android ones, UI themeing works better than it ever did for me on other phones, and accessory availability is excellent due to their popularity.

Honestly, more phones should start adding extra remappable hardware buttons.
What I really meant by "easily accessible" was "publicly available".
I believe this sometimes happens because women are less likely to counter-offer and negotiate during the hiring process. It sucks.
It's telling that you're so quick to support your argument with the same misleading and over-generalized summary which has been circulating heavily in the Men's Rights community recently.

I would strongly suggest actually reading the study rather relying on someone else's summary. In particular, pay attention to the reason why she ran the second study and what was actually being measured, namely reactions to this paragraph:

“I disagree with the many people who think that women should be cherished and protected by men. You know I’m strongly against that whole idea that in a disaster women should always be rescued before men. And I really don’t agree with those who say that men should put women on a pedestal or that men are incomplete without women in their lives. There seems to be this popular attitude that women are more pure and moral than men and that women should therefore be treated with greater respect than men, but I think that’s a lot of nonsense.”

The second study found that simply prefixing that paragraph with “I’m a firm believer in equality between men and women. And because of that” removed much of the ambiguity which lead many people to conclude that the author was probably a misogynist.

Beyond that, simply looking at the test is already telling you that this isn't the sweeping result certain defensive men are claiming – it's a single study measuring reactions to a single, somewhat stilted paragraph over the internet in isolation (they used Mechanical Turk to get participants). That doesn't mean that it's not a decent study but it would immediately tell you not to believe the results apply generally to complex real-world interactions where few normal people randomly state manifestos like that and almost everything happens in a context with a history of past interactions which guide the listener's interpretation.
IANAL, but I know people who went on to freelance directly for the client in similar situations.
Won't SELECT count(*) be super slow? Isn't SELECT Count(some_primary_key) a better idea?
You mean, like Glassdoor?
Probably arguable, but according to Article 4 (2) of the Lisbon Treaty:

[The EU] shall respect [Member States] essential State functions, including ensuring the territorial integrity of the State, maintaining law and order and safeguarding national security. In particular, national security remains the sole responsibility of each Member State.

The UK could insist that this is a national security measure.
I've never knowingly seen GWT used in practice. Does anyone have any examples of (semi) notable websites utilising it?
This looks like an elegant, intuitive solution to the hover problem. It seems to fit right in with the iPad/iPhone's aesthetic as well.

I didn't notice any solution for reordering the items, which I believe the desktop-based version provides. Probably not as important as editing and deleting, but I wonder what an appropriate interface for that would be on a touch-based device. Could you tap and hold to activate a drag-and-drop mode like the iPhone/iPad home screen does?

I'm not convinced there's such a thing as "simpler and lighter weight" when it comes to Fortune 500 companies.
Answer: the article's author has absolutely no clue, so he's going to incorrectly repeat some irrelevant, half-understood anecdotes he got from people in his Rolodex, and pull the reliable old hand-waving trick of blaming it on poverty without any concrete explaining why these specific poor people are rioting at this specific time. Gross nonsense like The Uzbeks are phenotypically more similar to East Asians, while Kyrgyz tend to look more like Russians or Persians could have been fact-checked in about 30 seconds by looking up images on Google or Wikimedia Commons, but clearly no one bothered.

If you're curious about Central Asia, the two blogs below are good starting points:

http://www.neweurasia.net/

http://www.registan.net/

Neweurasia is written mostly in Russian or local languages, and then retranslated into English. They've been quite active on Twitter in circulating images and translating reports/tweets about what's going on in Osh. Registan is written in English by American grad students with academic interests in the region (and also tends to have more "meta" posts, fisking/bemoaning godawful mainstream media coverage of their region like this Slate article).
Don't presume that you'll get a job as a software developer by virtue of having a CS major. You'll have to earn it or get lucky. By earn it, I generally mean that you have to be good at programming and be able to demonstrate it. Doing well in CS subjects is helpful but won't guarantee you a programming job.

That's a big part of why starting a company is so appealing for recent college graduates. You are forced to "earn it."
I went through the same thought process. The way I see it, if you're a big enough name to be reputable, then you should definitely handle payment yourself, but if you're still trying to get traction and a reputation, leveraging PayPay's reasonably trusted record is a good way to go.

For quite awhile both wordpress.com and stumblupon both were using paypal as their payment method for buying credits.
What about Diane Greene .. I know Vmware isn't a recent story, but I would love to see a interview of her. (I have no contact info though)
Not being able to focus on what you're doing is enough to decrease productivity. Even for non-intelectual jobs.

Other mechanisms can be light depression, impossibility to rest when not working or inability to improve qualification.
You should have them before you build anything. And your first lines of code should be there to test that they exist. You don't get them via surveys and landing pages. You get them by observing something where there is a problem.

They're the ones buying some other app that solve the problem, or hiring someone to deal with it, or finding the problem a distraction to their real core business.

I've never used a network for this and I think relying on your network is handicap. Look for strangers. If a stranger is happy to talk to you about a product you're trying to sell them, you're on to something.
As distributed training becomes the norm, the lack of BN will become more and more desirable.
I agree that we could do with reform. But why does it need to be violent?

Can you edit your original comment to reflect this? It is false and misleading.
5x squeeze for VW vs >100x for GME. Not even the right order of magnitude.
One can only assume that 90% of their hardware was doing something much heavier than “microblogging”. I’m guessing e.g tons and tons of media processing like video transcoding.

Would be interesting to hear how much it costs Twitter to have video features. If I was Parler right now I’d just switch off media and throw up a very lean MVP version with just text. Even with millions of users Parler has the luxury of almost no consistency problems at all. It’s all eventual consistency and simple replication. Shouldn’t need a lot of hardware at all.
When you accept an offer based on 'location based bay', I'd assume.
If it can stop swatting, why not? A robot is better than scared and well armed officer.
Ok, so I guessed right. Thanks, I missed that bit.
It's pressure in general. Look at what ARM has gone through in the last months.
The comment I was replying to clearly states "be their own platform" which is why I replied to it. What you're saying is a completely different conversation and the arguments don't dismiss what I said: the number of people who can successfully "be their own platform" is statistically insignificant so IPv6 is irrelevant for this purpose in particular.

I still don't understand how bittorrent (or any decentralized platform) is "your own platform". Most people will always just be part of someone else's platform. Whether it's YouTube, PeerTube, or friendica, it's never their own and IPv6 won't change that. And they explicitly sell themselves as distributed which by definition makes them shared, everybody's, or nobody's. They can never really be your own and that's exactly what their appeal is.

Most people are unable (due to skill, money, or effort constraints) to manage their own platform. And the ones who can don't need to wait for IPv6.
What a bizarre world these people live in where identity is both arbitrary and inescapable.
Given the 30+ years of proven security exploits due to memory corruption, the C community has proven multiple times that it doesn't care about those solutions, except when required to do so in certified software.

That Solaris, iOS and in the future Android, pursue hardware memory tagging as workaround for memory corruption exploits, it is a proof how bad the situation in terms of security is.
I've seen these pics before and have noted that, given tusks are teeth and have a large amount of phosphorus in them, surely these buried tusks must have extracted then locked up an enormous amount of bio-available phosphorus which must(?) have seriously limited that plant nutrient.

Any thoughts from biologists?
> the argument for why whatever political system is just and fair is based on a canon of argument that goes back centuries.

Those would be the same kind of arguments that justified communism, which was once popular among the intelligentsia? Abstract theory often leads people astray.

I think the working class might be wise to ignore those arguments in favor of their own experiences.

We've seen what the government is actually doing, and theory doesn't match reality. Those who advocate more government intervention should first improve those government interventions that already exist, so government programs can serve as an advertisement for their ideas, instead of a warning.
