There are bunch of online music labels springing up. What really needs to happen (at least from my limited point of view) is for some of those to wind up in the Pandora (or other) feeds and then it's game over for the traditional labels. Or so I hope.
Interesting approach, may have potential.
This may be "good enough for legal work" if they want to associate you with the location of a crime/event.
Have you considered volunteering? We can make our lives so safe, so sufficient, that there is no reason to do more, but that doesn't mean that there are no wants in the world. When we substitute someone else's needs for our own (which we've already taken care of), we can both make the world a better place and find a reason for trying again. So many organizations can benefit from someone who knows how to use Excel or set up a wireless router or help optimize some workflow, and you can have an enormous impact while getting to see the broader world.

Either that, or get some good shrooms.
interesting! i think iMessage works like that. not sure that IM+ does, but it might well.
Why didn't you just write "the hills and trees". This read: thing is getting out of hand.
I already have all my email accounts forwarding to my main address, and have configured Gmail to let me send as other addresses. So while it sounds useful, it already kind of exists.
I heard about a project called Oak that was supposed to do this, never heard what happened to it...
This is all very premature, isn't it?

It would be nice before someone is accused of deliberately killing 150 people for no reason to confirm that

- the correct code was put in
- there was no malfunction in the door release system
- and the descent was deliberate

I haven't read anything on possibly alternate scenarios causing the crash, yet they all seem more probable.

What market? You have no market there. A monopoly is not a market. Your free market hatred is showing.
No, this is pretty typical in terms and conditions for cloud storage providers.
You would, for the right salary.

To be of use – by Marge Piercy

The people I love the best
jump into work head first
without dallying in the shallows
and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight.
They seem to become natives of that element,
the black sleek heads of seals
bouncing like half-submerged balls.

I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart,
who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience,
who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward,
who do what has to be done, again and again.

I want to be with people who submerge
in the task, who go into the fields to harvest
and work in a row and pass the bags along,
who are not parlor generals and field deserters
but move in a common rhythm
when the food must come in or the fire be put out.

The work of the world is common as mud.
Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.
Greek amphoras for wine or oil,
Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums
but you know they were made to be used.
The pitcher cries for water to carry
and a person for work that is real.
That's not true.

It depends a lot on the OS and what you're doing. If you're using Ubuntu, the NUC would be faster for most tasks because the intel graphics card has nice drivers and the (integrated) graphics card is faster. So flash videos would run much better. Also, per core, the NUC is roughly just as fast. Maybe a little faster. Most of the time you are not using all cores.

Here's the CPU comparison between this NUC and the fastest Macbook Pro CPU http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-5557U-vs-Intel-Core-i7...

Finally, both NUC and Macbook Pro are really bad with games. Macbook Pro heats up like crazy even when sitting on an aluminum cooler just watching Netflix. Playing games is another story. Very few are supported and even fewer are optimized for OSX. On the other hand, the NUC just doesn't have the discrete graphics card required.

If you are OK with the form factor and aren't running multicore simulation most of the time, the NUC is a better choice.
As this is my favourite poem as well and you beat me to sharing it, I may as well add some context to it for the people not familiar with names and situations:

Ithaca[1] is where Odysseus[2], one of the greek heroes in the Trojan War, came from. After the war was over he set, along with his crew, to return home but this took him ten whole years and Homer wrote about his adventures and misfortunes in the epic that is known as Odyssey[3].

Now, as this consists of dangerous situations, very bad luck, betrayal and a couple of other bad things, the word "odyssey" has become one with which modern greeks describe a long and difficult period until something (a goal, a destination, etc) is reached. However, Kavafis (greek for Cavafy) turned this around and is describing all the great things that one can benefit from during such journeys: new harbours, Phoenician goods, Egyptian cities - all these pictures are used to demonstrate how rich one will be after an "odyssey" even if he/she has to face Laistrygonians, Cyclops and angry Poseidons.

In the end, Kavafis tells us about what Ithaca really is about: not reaching your destination but experiencing the journey.

Once I move in July, there will be at least two Haverford software engineers in Seattle. That's enough for a meetup.

I wouldn't send this message through HN, but I don't know another way to contact you. If you join one of the Haverford LinkedIn groups, we can talk that way and stop spamming this thread.
I wonder whether there is a limit to the size of the soundboard at which the extra amplified overtones start to muddle the cords even played in the middle register and above. Big grand pianos are not particularly transportable and organs have been designed for specific buildings; why is it that larger pianos like this don't exist as a class?

Lower fundamental tones generate more audible overtones; this is why the same cord played in the lower register sounds much more muddy than in the middle. Of course it could be that even with amplified higher harmonics for mid-register.

At any rate, it's disappointing that the performers chosen for their audio/video demo recordings and their recording setup are so crappy. It'd be not unreasonable to suspect the level of the piano designer's expertise is comparable.

And, of course, size of the soundboard alone does not a good piano make.
These lessons are a constant part of dialogue here in the US, particularly in cities like SF and NY. I would even call them universal.

The challenge is convincing folks that they are applicable to their street. Most people here are so attached to the car as the only viable form of transportation that they do not see bikes or transit as complete transportation alternatives, despite the best formed arguments.
This is a really inspirational story. I think tenacity is a trait severely lacking from modern day founders of startups and most businesses. People like Steve Jobs had it, but I think the landscape is so different nowadays that it has become almost too easy to start a business. People don't have to struggle like they once did to get access to opportunities.
I'm using normal screens with whatever the default DPI setting is. 1080 on a 12-20" depending on laptop or desktop.

Microsoft has been going on about high-dpi displays since 2003 (Longhorn PDC) and they aren't really around yet on Windows machines. So they absolutely should have this toggle, and set it to properly render unless the user has high-dpi.

This is just a stubborn thing they're doing. Similar to the ALL CAPS phase or the Win8 junk they went through. Or similar to how WPF had messed up font rendering until Visual Studio started using it.
Except GP didn't use the word "retard" to terminate discourse, or to shortcut debate or insult anyone in this thread. The word was purely descriptive, and this context, quite appropriate and illustrative. I can think of no other single word that better describes the behavior of the E-Ink patent holders.
Except for Palestinians of course where they refuse their legal duties as an occupying power to render medical aid.

Given that I'm hoping the difference to my waistline to be 0, that should be trivially true ;)

But the hit to my wallet wasn't as bad as it could have been, in general I'm a big fan of buying second-hand. Local bike shop gets to charge me for fixing the previous owner's lack of upkeep, I get a lot more bike than I'd otherwise get for the same money. Not to mention that new bikes are hard to come by these days.
You can already do many things with crypto that you cannot do with the traditional banking system. Can you open 10,000 bank accounts right now? I can make 10k wallets.

There are so many new things we can do with crypto that it's going to take decades for people to discover them.
Here's another article about the book. I haven't compared with the WSJ to be sure but I'd expect it covers the same major points: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/feb/14/how-to-avoid-a...

BTW, those with Apple News+ subscriptions can often read WSJ articles by browsing to the article in Safari on iPhone or iPad, hitting the paywall, and then hitting the share icon, and then picking "News" as the sharing target. That tries to open the article in News+, which succeeds for many paywalled WSJ articles. This does not work in the desktop News+ app.
As the Gaza Sky Geeks Director, you will be the equivalent of a startup chief executive but in one of the most complex emerging markets in the world and within the global Mercy Corps family. You will run coworking spaces and educational programming in our physical hubs, as well as virtually, to launch startups, train software developers and freelancers, and lead a nascent yet collaborative tech sector across all of Palestine that creates well-paying, stable jobs. You will be setting precedents and shining a light on untapped possibilities for tech to level the economic playing field in frontier markets.

You will set long-term strategy for social and commercial objectives, raise capital and generate revenue to support those objectives, and cultivate/recruit top talent to help you do so. You will inherit and continue to build an amazing network of tech and policy leaders who will support you in those objectives. Likewise, you will be the leading voice, ambassador, and role model for an entire national tech ecosystem, influencing policy through inspiring speeches and commentary in global media.

You will lead a team of 50+ young and passionate team members for whom GSG is their home, not just a job– one of the greatest privileges of this role will be coaching this team to maximize their potential and propel GSG to be the best– and most diverse– tech and startup education provider in the Middle East. GSG is proud to be one of the most gender inclusive tech communities globally and you will champion diversity in all forms as GSG grows.

You will also lead GSG’s strategic development, including leveraging some of the region’s best educational and startup acceleration content, products and services for new opportunities, exploring geographic expansion within and beyond Palestine, and shifting to a more commercial model for some GSG activities.

one of my favorite pg quotes from "The Power of the Marginal"...

"You often hear people say that you shouldn’t major in business in college, but this is actually an instance of a more general rule: don’t learn things from teachers who are bad at them."
I cut and pasted the title and it was displayed as "Ã¢Â€Â˜cloud OSÃ¢Â€Â™?".

On a tangent, I thought it interesting that Google has been hiring up Plan 9 engineers.

Looks like a great start. Would love to see more examples and or live demos of applications already built to get a feel for the final product.

I'm curious how this compares to AppGyver (https://www.appgyver.com) which was recently acquired by SAP. (I am not affiliated).
Hmm, I played around with one of those at Yodabashi the other day and it seemed fine. Did a quick search for some reviews [1] and none of them mention anything about the touchscreen being bad - seems like a standard 5-finger capacitive multitouch. I wonder if you just've just had bad luck. I searched for "bad" and "terrible" touchscreen and didn't find any results. If it was something widespread, it'd be all over the Android forums.

> Some stress testing is good, but how to do it without killing the vulnerable.

Less stress, more often. I think regular random border closures or brief, targeted disruptions of small parts of supply chains would do wonders to curb over-JIT-ting of the economy, while not hurting too many people too much.

That said, I worry it's too little - it doesn't address head-on the incentives that create vulnerable supply chains.
Another bad practice, IMHO, is not to quit the program once the exception is thrown. Instead, the loop continues and the rest of the input gets fed to /dev/null

I would really like it if Nintendo or someone was to come up with an accelerometer that could just be strapped to the pedals of an exercise bike and send signals to a Nintendo Switch.
Huh? I lived through hurricane Andrew. Building codes were updated. People were significantly more ready for the string of hurricanes that came through 1999-2005. Miami is still gonna be underwater due to climate change but the response to hurricanes was dramatic. People know how to deal with hurricanes in South Florida.
Are you ok with all the other software they use?
At current pace the whole US will be infected by May (I wonder, whether the market have priced that in already).
Nothing really changed. In my city people still went to parks together and were more or less cuddling with each other in the supermarkets.

Most might have stayed at home but the 5% that didn't are still enough to spread it exponentially.
This has been the case in Belgium for over a week now. Along with the closure of the obvious gathering spots, like pubs and restaurans and whatnot.
My suggestion would be: get the PR for that startup sorted out (it doesn't have to be hard!), and turn the 20% monthly growth into 40% monthly growth.
No notification light? thats one of my favorite features on my Motorola Droid.
The first thing that comes to mind is XMPP.
Exactly. Let's start with "Designer" and see how that works. Very few expect one person to be able to perform every single aspect of Design so there will be an expectation that at some point you will bump up against your limitations. At that time, another "designer" may be necessary.

Agreed that getting into an hour long debate each time you meet a potential employer is sub-optimal (to say the least) but this just speaks to having your elevator pitch ready at any time. Good advice regardless of what field you're in.
I'm thinking "Full stack developer" is about to start replacing "ninja rockstar" in job ads.
Yes, I have a proposal.

Similar to how we have https:// blabla, and the user agent warns us if the server's certificate is not trusted, we should have httpc:// blabla to indicate constant files. Sites all over the world can download urls from httpc:// and store hashes to them in various formats, and your user agent can trust one or more of these authorities. When downloading, it would compare the hashes against the ones downloaded from these authorities, and if there is even a small deviation, it would give you a warning just like https://

I can see this being used in app stores for the web (curating apps and various versions of apps, like Apple does) and also for secure logins. I would like someone to make guarantees that my password is not being sent in the clear to the server that I am connected to. Currently with web tech it's impossible to be sure you aren't revealing sensitive info to the server. This simple change would make possible a variety of applications that we haven't even thought of, besides these two.
PG's answer is of course canonical, but as an outside observer, I believe it is incomplete.

The unstated hidden reason comments are disabled is because comment threads often dilute the message of the posting.

Threads can digress and accentuate negative, minor, or emotional/controversial distractions. The postings are a favor to the listing company. If that company prefers just "here's our message, contact us", with no risk of defocusing tangents, then that's the right favor for YC/PG to grant.

It may also be better to decide up front, "we'll give up the comments, good or bad", than to allow comments, and get a few that are so unproductively snarky they create a back-and-forth with critics, or that trigger premature speculation about things strategically left unsaid, or that prompt a later censorship decision (with its accompanying distracting gripetails).
Clouds are meant more for storage. The serial computational power of the cloud can allow for highly complex simulations which would take alot longer on PCs and HPCs.
Other observation: the encoded string's characters seem to range from ASCII 32 to 90.
"The question I have is who is the lion of Re?"

According to Wikipedia, "Re" can be a reference to the Egyptian god Ra.[1] Given the Egyptian imagery on the other side of the amulet ("a bandaged mummy likely representing the Egyptian god Osiris"), that might be the "Re" that's being referenced.

And Ra has an association with a lion:

"Sekhmet was the Eye of Ra and was created by the fire in Ra's eye. She was a violent lioness."[2]

Ra himself has also been depicted in the form of a lion.[3]

On the other hand, if this kind of thing became commonplace, you'd have the advantage that companies could hire you for less.
This article was much better (more interesting, enlightening) than the NYT hack job. The whole “how can we tenuously paint this person as a racist?” thing the media (or rather “half a dozen outlets”) is doing is dull and creepy. Interestingly not long ago Yglesias was writing the disingenuous articles, so I’m really happy to see he’s turned a corner, and he deserves praise for doing so.
Thanks, but won't restricting to a specific cloud service reduce adoption?

> Is a Mercedes E-class different from Toyota Camry?

For this example, obviously they are different. The job of marketing is to justify the difference in price for whatever differences the Mercedes offers.

> Is economy class 21-day advance, Saturday night stay required travel different from a walk-up ticket out Tuesday back the same Thursday?

Yes, for the seller, guaranteed payment 21 days before is different than a volatile payment minutes before the goods expire.
What if you sleep with VR goggles, showing images of home?

Or (more practical) what if you sleep in a hotel room for a week, then move to a hotel room in a different country which looks exactly like the old hotel room?
Well, this talk is more like the birds and the bees [0], right? It's not just about correcting misconceptions, but ensuring that folks are practicing safe habits as they go about their lives.

Letting people believe in the Basilisk is just like letting them have any other harmful religious delusion: They're wrong, they're injuring themselves and others, and they cling to the belief because it validates part of their worldview.

Well in the context of fascism one of those things is an authoritarian government leader that praised dictators and tried to take over the government and another is a paid activity that's voluntary.

If you want to make obviously dumb claims about fascists, you might get called out.
Much harder to get a good sound bite asking DTCC leading questions.
Well, I think the most important thing to do is for people to upvote the stories that they see as being "Hacker News". I've got the HN frontpage feed as a "Live Bookmark" in Firefox, which links right to the story URLs (not the discussions), so sometimes I'll go a few days just reading the stories, not upvoting/discussing anything, all the while thinking, "Jeez, there hasn't been anything good on HN lately."

Now, I try to log in at least once a day or every other day and post an "HN-worthy" article if I come across one, or at least try to contribute to the discussion of an article.

My "Fix HN" suggestion: apply a different "decay" rate to the "Ask/Show/Tell HN" posts so that they stay on the front page longer. They're usually more focused on HN-oriented material, and posted by people who post on HN semi-regularly (at least). I'd also lower the flagging threshold to something like 3 or 5 so that people don't abuse this for general news articles.
I looked at the link, and I also read the article.

Leave it the way it is! If hackers find it interesting it'll get upvoted. For example, I upvoted the bee story the other day. It was a really interesting article and I don't think my wife, for example, would give any shits about it.

It's still not a Venn diagram. A Venn diagram labels regions, not points in the regions. The diagram could be made correct by placing little dots in the intersection regions to show that these are points in the intersection, whereas the outermost categories are sets of properties. But it still wouldn't really be a Venn diagram :)
