Right, companies can have a great ROI for the time invested in testing and optimization. That is right.

I interpreted patio11's comment as it may be a good idea to shift into the online marketing contractor business instead of being a programmer. Which can be a good idea, I don't disagree, I am just not completely sure. (That's why I said it is a bit complicated.)
That's a problem with Visual studio. It doesn't do incremental builds. You basically have to create an entire assembly from scratch every time you build.
Oh yes, I want to help the entrepreneurs that battle to flood me with ads for the sites where they intend to take my money.

Where is the counter-petition ?
Well, I think you do have a point, but on the other hand, there have been people saying "Machines will never play chess well because it will require general intelligence!"

And when machines start to play chess (or go, or Starcraft) they just say "Oh well it's just computation."

So I think it's justified to bring up "AI effect" when people say "machines will never do $(insert your favorite activity here) because it requires general intelligence!"
It's $250/user/YEAR, not per month.
IMO, as a user the biggest advantage is mail being sent via the same protocol as it is received. Someone made an IMAP extension to do that but unfortunately it was never widely implemented.

Some aspects of JMAP haven't made it through the standards process yet, like calendars, quotas, and server-side S/MIME signature verification. Hopefully it will get wider implementation from the big email companies once those are complete.
Good move!

A 2FA system that requires me to give a phone number is a 2FA system that I won't use. I'm not about to give my phone number out to most companies, and I'm too lazy to go get a burner phone just to set up 2FA.
Hey remember how intel suffered for years under CEOs who were chip engineers? And then started doing really great when they moved away from that model and started hiring MBA CEOs?
Pretty sure nobody was going to buying surplus/refurb Predators and flying them around the neighborhood.

When the recreational/commercial models got range and mass enough to get in the way of aircraft, that's when the first round of "whoa!" kicked in.

Still going to take more work to figure out reasonable controls.
Werner Sombart was heavily influenced by Marx. Regardless of how you want to view him. Read his entry on Wikipedia.

"Sombart, at that time, was an important Marxian, someone who used and interpreted Karl Marx — to the point that Friedrich Engels said he was the only German professor who understood Das Kapital. Sombart called himself a "convinced Marxist,"[1] but later wrote that "It had to be admitted in the end that Marx had made mistakes on many points of importance."
In that case the loo can't be blamed for "increasing drug deals", which is fine.
Not to sound rude but IMO I find components really hard to organize and structure data. Components are probably really nice for storytelling games and games with simple logic: they really shine when you can just take some effect like a particle system and attach it to some object like a Sci-Fi weapon. But it's really hard to separate model, view, and controller from your game when they're all separate components on the same object.
I can.

And that already happens.

When prestigious institutions are involved you'll be able to check their addresses and signatures too.

It is more about the transfer and hypothecation of value, which this scarcity and transparency allows.

If it doesn't catch on it doesn't catch on. Right now people are clamoring for this future.
Sorry, but sounds to me like all you have are assumptions rather than facts.

I don't know why you think chargebacks are handled by an "automaton" (not true) or "underpaid" (irrelevant) human. And you're admitting you're extrapolating from the behavior of consumer companies to PayPal. But PayPal is different because it's not eating the cost of anything. It passes it onto the seller. It has zero business motivation to block such a buyer if they buyer is in the right. And since it's not easy to find any complaints of them doing so... it looks like they're not.

The US Capitol Police's website is a primary source that I'll trust over any other source on this matter.
We read together, bike together, play tennis, ski. When her kids are here we play board games. We don't have a place that won't be attacked by dog/cat/kids so can't build a puzzle.

We cannot work in the same room.

Actually her 50% time for kids works out great. My kid was 100% time and while I really really enjoyed the time I also didn't work at all for those years. Or rather I tried once for about 18 months and it was really almost impossible.
I may be missing part of the pitch, but I'm open to targeted emails as long as it's done well. It's frustrating to be sent an email for an opportunity that is barely relevant.
I guess I still like the lower-tech, "wired" intercoms.
Reducing the numbers of those pesky humans would help.
Please stop posting like this—it's obviously against the site guidelines. Deploying horrific rhetoric against "every single Hacker News moderator" doesn't change that.

Edit: you posted this four times. Doing that kind of thing will get you banned here. Also, it looks you've been using HN primarily for ideological battle, and we ban accounts that do that, irrespective of what your ideology is. If you'd please review the rules and use HN in the intended spirit, we'd appreciate it.

This is a site for curiosity. People can't both be curious and battling enemies at the same time. The nervous system doesn't work that way.
Very cool. Nice work...any way to make it run faster? As an aside, I think I might use this to look at the palettes on sites other than my own to see what colors they're using since I presumably have some idea of the ones that I'm using.
This is just my $.02. I believe the best way to learn is by imitating. Go on every CSS/Design Inspiration (dribbble, forrst, ilvdsgn) site you can and see what is appealing to you and then try to duplicate it in your own time. Analyze ones that everyone thinks are "cool" and figure out what makes them so. Look up articles on color theory, spacing, typography.

It might sound lame just copying a design (note: I don't mean rip then release it, this is just for your own benefit), but by picking it apart you'll slowly be creating building blocks for you to do your own stuff.
I like it. I'm currently using dropbox to host my .vim/ and .vimrc, but keeping it in dvcs isn't a bad idea either.
Springer has great content. Just signed up and got my keys. Now looking at the documentation to see what types of data they've put out.
There's absolutely a ton of room for improving review systems. Right now I have a fairly standard "how many stars + written comments" review set up on my startup (example link below), but I'm planning to test some ideas, such as giving people with different levels of karma different numbers of "points" to review with, to try to get the distribution of ratings closer to a standard bell curve.

Where's Gödel, Escher, Bach?
What the seller then turned around and did is an incredibly well known scam that is discussed at length in the comments.
A large part of becoming a better designer is in studying the design of others so you can recognize what design actually is. It's in deconstructing things to identify what techniques were used, what layouts were employed, what the rationale might have been behind various decisions along the way.

It cannot be over-stated how important it is to be able to recognize design in order to be a designer. While you won't need to be able to identify typefaces at a glance, you should be able to understand the fundamentals. You should be able to identify short-comings and be able to think up ways to remedy that. Like programming, a lot of design is problem solving in the context of many constraints.

The other part is simply doing it. Design things. Constantly. Make up logos. Work with type. Whip up experimental layouts and see how they work, look for faults, and try to fix them. Re-design sites you're familiar with, even if you're simply re-implementing them, so as to understand how they work. The way you gain experience is by exploring and doing.

Everyone focuses on tools as part of their problem. "If only I knew Photoshop better, I'd be an amazing designer," they say. This presumes that Photoshop does the designing for you, which of course it doesn't. You can see work from people who think it does where they've turned on every filter, used every plugin, and exercised each font in their "500 Free Fonts and Clip-Art" collection.

Obviously you will need to learn some tools. I'd advocate picking a few that will get you the furthest along and learn them well. Instead of knowing a bit of Illustrator and a bit of Photoshop, choose one and double down. You can also do a lot of designing with a pencil and paper if you know CSS well enough.

If you're intending to be involved in a start-up, being multi-talented is essential. Unlike large organizations where there's formal departments, you'll often be wearing a dizzying number of hats. You'll be the designer-programmer-customer-support-cleaning-staff-accounts-receivable person and then your partner might be the sales-testing-tech-writer-photographer-blogger person. Rarely do you get to focus on just one thing.

Knowing even a little bit of design can help get you started more quickly, get you further along in projects without having to engage an outside designer, and will make your efforts come across more clearly.

Design is, after all, not just about pretty pictures but about presentation and communication.
It's actually very blurry when you zoom all the way in. You can halve the resolution and not lose any information. So it's really a 111/4 = 27.8 gigapixel panorama.

Compare it with this:

Which is much sharper when you zoom all the way in.
Not much. The government pays a stipend to start ups that come to Chile as well.
I would prefer that node was part of a non-profit foundation of some kind rather than Joyent, but that is largely under the bridge at this point. It was discussed heavily when this change was made in november 2010:

Regardless of their slightly dated information, I'd add to your list the standard 'Perl Cookbook' by Christiansen and Torkington. Likewise 'Programming Perl' by Wall, Christiansen and Orwant. While not perfectly up-to-date, the reader should be able to immediately use the code and if necessary refactor later. Come to think of it the editions I have are of a same vintage as 'Medic' so same advice applies...
No, you can e.g. spend 12 hours a day hacking some OS kernel and credibly call yourself a hacker. Being a polymath requires a much wider background.
You can manage to code while on LSD but it is very hard. After trying it a couple of times I decided it just takes out the fun from both LSD and coding.
From my limited understanding, Arduino's PWM maxes out at about 500hz. SPDIF needs a data rate of about 6.2 MHZ.

EDIT: Although you might be able to get an I2C signal out and use that as an alternative to SPDIF.
I will start by looking at workflowy since you like its ability to focus on a single task when that's all you care about at that time. Thanks. (edit: I think workflowy may be the one I heard about here a while back, the name sounds somewhat familiar.)
I'm chilean, and I very much agree with you. I'm not sure about the strength or real impact in the long run, since this depends on the government and government changes every 4 years. In any case, I think it's a great initiative and would never say they are wasting our money.

PS: I'm the founder of a chilean startup, I have a few contacts here and there, and would love to keep connecting with other hackers and startup enthusiasts. My contact info is in my profile.

"Backup" may be a strong term here. Perhaps you mean "mirror of specific videos"? I suppose in this regard, YouTube is acting as a reference index.

(I feel like such a pessimist today.)
It’s in the downforce. Up to 6G sustained lateral cornering. That’s worse than fighter pilots, which have their Gs applied vertically.
It will likely conflict most in-progress PR. For PRs that are large and long lived it will be a PITA to maintain and will further slow integration so, likely, yes.
Even there, the spread has not been rapid or in a short period of time, which are both part of the definition of epidemic which I mentioned above. AIDS has taken decades to reach its current prevalence.

> to the bottom half of earners.

Last I heard it was really for middle-income earners, as there was a phase-in income floor at around $50k/yr and a phase-out at around $75k/yr.

Has this changed?
I don't think a developer should be required. This is the perfect time for the squarespaces and wixes of the world could offer minimal templates that do the job. They already have the infrastructure, and bombarded people with ads for websites.
I fear for the overton window sometimes.

I'm not sure about that.
Yeah. I first thought it was from some Pamuk, but, no, you're right.
In which case you would get people with different views of what's going on - some people could see some articles but not others. Confusion would then be a problem - it's one we already have on forums that allow editing or deletion of commentary.
I do the same; my main motivation is hotter food and lower/more predictable latency.
I think the trick is that different users might create "identical garbage" so that contacts match on the backend.
Depends on the ping. I would say once you start pushing 80 you can definitely feel it. But >60 ping rollback feels very good if you are playing on a good monitor.
Let's hear it from a psychologist: "If you don’t buy IQ research, you might as well throw out all the rest of psychology." (Jordan Peterson)

For anybody interested in personality research, I warmly recommend this lecture series, by the way. These are the basics, which psychology students learn at university.
> pointing out that such information is available somewhere if I look hard enough does not disprove anything.

I didn't look very hard, I went to the language reference and searched for "?" in the Tokens section.
I think it's really cool project; but could you explain why it's important that a binary works everywhere for you? I don't really get the enthusiasm for this sort of thing.

Maybe I have a blind spot or something or I've just been in Unix-land for too long.
Whether it is one person's rehashing is another debate. We don't possess any original Quranic manuscripts, early manuscripts show changes, parts of the Quranic script was eaten by goats and current manuscripts vary in content, albeit in minor ways.

It's not to say that Mohammed didn't receive a correct revelation, that his followers didn't memorise it correctly and the first version of the Quran wasn't a perfect copy of Mohammed's revelations. It's just we don't have the original scripts to support this claim. And if we're going to subject the new testament to higher criticism then we need to do the same to the Quran.

It's worth reading tom Holland and Dan brubaker. Others will disagree, but from a historical perspective there is a lack of evidence for the perfect recording of a single author.
But Aperture is NOT meant to be a Photoshop competitor but an Adobe Lightroom alternative. Aperture's primary function is photo management and is a step up from the very basic iPhoto; image editing and manipulation with heavy filters and layers were never its primary functions.
Step 1. Build something you're interested in, particularly if it solves your own problem.
I find that a pathological lack of any emotion or sentiment is key to creativity and productivity. Tabula Rasa is my mantra.
I'll avoid the obligatory XKCD (927), but doesn't this move, and all other fractionalizing of the music industry, merely serve to make Piracy the most appealing option?

not that I mind; I haven't paid for music since 2007.
But how did they get there?

The entire security theater industry, along with the defense industry, is built on top of an untold number of conflicts of interest and perverse incentives.

Did the scanners cause controversy before they were installed? Sure, and under any sane system of governance they would have never progressed beyond that point. The problem was that, at every point that mattered, our officials were incentivized to invade our privacy (e.g., campaign contributions, direct profit from sale of devices, etc).

It seems to me far more productive, and far more likely to succeed to attack corruption and realign incentives than it is to make a moralistic case in front of a bunch of amoral thugs.
There are no reliable statistics for the safety of commercial air travel in the US these days.

It's not for lack of trying. It's simply that commercial air travel in the US is so safe that there isn't enough data to compile anything like a reasonable risk figure. Prior to the Asiana crash, the last fatal airliner crash in the US was in 2009, and there were no fatalities in 2008 or 2007.

So, yes, they're much safer than that number would imply, but it's hard to say exactly how much.
There are two older similar projects - beautiful soup and untangle.
It's about bitcoin, exchange of value, etc. Seems quite related to me. Thanks for the link though.

And just because something has been discussed more often, doesn't mean it should not be mentioned at all?
The TSA's budget is $7.6B and you'd be surprised the DIY things that can compete against that.
You're right, sorry. I was looking at the distance on Google maps and then the 3hrs OP had mentioned. I didn't even think to look at Google maps time, which presently states 30 minutes. Looking now at what I've written it's obvious I didn't word that how I intended it. Thanks for picking that up.
Another great example is snabbswitch, which combines a lot of really great technologies to provide superlative performance:

Hypervisor, Kernel, LuaJIT, Userspace. Amazing!
1) it's not unique to bitcoin, happens in all markets.

2) it's very expensive to do. For example if you inflate prices at an exchange at 10% of market price, then you must pay that rate sooner or later when inevitably people sell at a 10% premium and cash out. If you run a ponzi, it'll collapse inevitably.

3) honest regulated exchanges that interface with other honest regulated aren't affected. The market is affected, but not the individual exchange. i.e. if Mt. Gox was still alive and this new Winklevoss exchange Gemini didn't trade with them, it wouldn't affect Gemini if Mt. Gox collapsed. Individual traders who traded at both Gemini and Mt. Gox would be affected, but that's the risk of trading on a crappy unregulated exchange. But the honest exchange itself isn't affected, it cannot result in a catastrophic failure like you say. (feel free to elaborate on that)

tl;dr: not unique to bitcoin, doesn't happen often because manipulating the market has a price tag and a risk tag, and while markets are affected by manipulation (obviously) one bad exchange cannot spawn failure or security problems or ponzis or insolvency at other honest exchanges from arbitrage efforts of its users. It just doesn't work that way.
KILL doens't necessarily end the process. It may be stuck in uninterruptible state (TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE).
I don't see the lack of a regulated exchange as a show-stopper for mainstream adoption. I remember when people were generally uncomfortable with PayPal because the whole idea of an online wallet that wasn't provided by a bank just seemed unsafe. It was pull of eBay, the killer use case, that overcame that in the minds of everyday people, not regulation coming along and making it safer. Online wallets added value.

Imho, Bitcoin is and will continue to be an interesting niche until someone comes up with something truly compelling to do with it that you can't do with traditional currency or banking. A regulated exchange is nice for traders and financiers, but it's still just a boring old exchange... another friction ordinary consumers have to overcome to walk the blockchain life.
Credit card chargebacks are not always fraud.
In push to start cars, holding down the start button is the normal way to turn them off, so it is not unreasonable to attempt to do so for an emergency shutdown.

Having said that, I would like an emergency stop button in cars (preferably one that works indepenently of the onboard computer).

They explicitly say this on the front page: "Not all browsers offer this support. But soon other modern browsers will take advantage of these same web standards — and the amazing things they enable web designers to do"
Needs a better display to be very interesting. I can't believe that 640x480 LCDs are that much more expensive than 320x240 ones.

The Chumby lineup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chumby) is also worth looking at, if you're in this particular market.
> Some of the demos only work in Safari

Which, given other browser-makers' commitment to supporting the emerging specs, just goes to show that 'standards' is a misnomer in this case. In informal usage that's OK; most of us hope that the standardisation of CSS3, HTML5 and related WHATWG initiatives will happen sooner rather than later. But misapplying the term in your marketing material (linked from the front page) is confusing and unhelpful.
Yeah, most work in Chrome (on Linux).

Edit: that said, imho, the original link is somewhat misguided. It brings up an interesting question: is Apple responsible for targeting all platforms, or at least all major platforms that conform to a standard? Even if those standards aren't fully implemented among different browsers? And wtf, Apple, I wanna play checkers... Some of the demos run really well on Linux though. But I mean -- are they responsible for all platforms? Or maybe they're just responsible for not misleading people into thinking that they must choose their platform? (The issues in Microsoft's antitrust history rise again.)

Anyway, for my money I don't think the future of the web is via the traditional browser -- but I'm sort of in left field in this regard. But yeah, there are maybe deeper issues that haven't really been resolved...
