> It is quite obvious that something has changed.

Yup, but that's not an 8% increase in AR's. That's maybe an 8% increase in the rate of increase in AR's. That could be attributable to a LOT of things though (there isn't even enough context to control for network & seasonal effects, let alone whatever increased attention there might have been to sign ups after the rollout).

Ironically, probably the best way to isolate the impact to the launch is to narrow the time window and resolution to the minutes before and after the redesign launched.
Yes, I suppose you’re right! But we’ll certainly see which predictions were closest to the mark.
> Clubhouse is one of the very few online places I've seen people willing to speak frankly on sensitive political issues in Chinese

This is more an effect of you being exposed to Chinese people rather than some new phenomenon. Mainland politics is everywhere online, it's in the digital spaces that Westerners rarely visit though.

Yup, a 5 mins fix, that I believe he did for free (at least from what I remember seeing in a CBC report).
> Only times I’m using amazon is for cheap items no one else will ship. They’ve really just turned into AliExpress.

I've been impressed with what sellers on Etsy offer when it comes to things that can't be found through AliExpress or domestic retailers.
Sure, maybe Greece’s debt was denominated in Euros and Greece can’t print Euros.

But the US is in a different position because it has the world’s reserve currency. It maintains that position by simply depreciating less than all of the other major world currencies. If it looses that position, it would have disastrous effects on the purchasing power of the US relative to other counties.
Martin Folwer talks about several approaches for handling domain logic. Transaction Script, Domain Model, Table Module, and Service Logic. He explains the trade offs of each on the Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture book.
That's becuase it too (in all probability) doesn't render 1 million offscreen elements to show the handful (100? 1000?) on screen elements.

So it does it just like an immediate mode GUI does it, and only renders what it must.

Not sure about QT specifically, but all other non-immediate mode GUIs I know use the same trick, and immediate mode GUIs like React also use it.
Is it already a thing my grandmother can use? She has a working bank account but doesn't understand that minimizing gmail doesn't delete here emails.
Yeah, this is probably actually the closest equivalent to the Rust Book, but I’ll also second the suggestion from the other comment of “Think Julia” (beginner) and “Design Patterns and Best Practices with Julia” (intermediate /advanced).

For me, the most important thing to grasp when coming from another language was that Julia’s multiple dispatch brings with it effectively a whole paradigm of “dispatch-centric programming” that you have to embrace to really get the most out of Julia, including the c-like speed (have to strictly avoid type-instability for that) and the composability that everyone talks about.
Just because Bitcoin isn’t your preferred form of money doesn’t preclude it from being money. Plenty of people use Bitcoin as money so I would argue that Bitcoin is money.
> you're only considering marginal engineers that aren't expected to make a significant contribution to a product

So, 99% of the workforce? Or, 99.9999% if you consider that companies just don’t give a fuck unless you happen to be Guido van Rossem?

HR departments, who approve/deny pay changes, don’t care. My current company is being forced (with the approval of the board) to compensate high performers in alternative ways (like stock grants, or vacation time) if they’re outside of the “approved pay bands”.

I know someone who 100% qualifies for a title of “high performer” (they promoted him to a director a month after this) who would have had his pay cut in half if he moved away from his current location due to “remaining competitive with the local market”.
Oh, I thought you meant a rebuttal to your first paragraph, to which I would say you wouldn’t survive as a business.

I don’t know anything about trapping people in a job they don’t like with a high wage.
All long term investing is fundamental based investing, and the market is just as inefficient now as when the Graham was writing.

>A properly designed Web wrapper uses techniques to avoid this risk: filtering urls to stay in the app's domain

So you are saying the WebView on Android is unsafe to use for rendering untrusted content. That's a pretty serious limitation and certainly not made clear in the documentation[1]. Infact the first line of the docs suggest that a WebView is suitable to "roll your own web browser" with…

Something is seriously wrong with Google's attitude to security if they are happy to document a class that's totally unsafe for use with untrusted data as being safe. Knowing this is enough to put me off ever using Android again to be honest.

There's a difference between good attention and bad attention.

Likes are cheap; they literally cost nothing. So are message that say "hi", with no indication that they've even read your profile. Logging into a dating app and discovering thousands of people -- all of whom seem to know only that you're female and therefore approve -- is as soul-sucking as getting no attention at all.

I was very popular on online dating sites, because I knew how to talk to women as if they represented something other than a place to put my dick. All of the women I spoke to were incredibly discouraged by quality of attention they received. Ask your sister what fraction of those stacked-up notifications consisted solely of the word "hi".

Most women seem to get tired of the attention that merely tells them that they're attractive. It's an ego boost for a while, and I'm sure some retain it, but it's the kind of thing you get inured to, and you want something else.

The experience for women is different, but not necessarily better, and the things that a man might crave simply because he doesn't receive it will feel empty to a woman precisely because she does. There's a cultural asymmetry that doesn't lead either side to what they're after. But men can do a lot better simply by treating women like human beings, and understanding that they've got problems different from yours.

I wish I could see how the study was performed. I find this very hard to believe.

I mean nvenc has made a huge difference to streamers using nvidia cards already, you don't really need more than a 'consumer' 6C/12T or 8C/16T even with games gradually moving to supporting more cores if you have an nvidia card.
Are you sure that being poor isn't a strong predictor of being bad at math?
Truthfully I agree but I'd argue this seems more like a reason to decouple healthcare from employment entirely. Such as with socialized medical coverage like you suggest.
The subtleties of the title domain are a hell of a rabbit hole, but in the case of the current page, I'd argue that the original title would be misleading at the top of an HN thread. Press releases are often that way- see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...
The intention isn't to get detailed financials necessarily. "Profitable" is a pretty good indicator of some level of success. The issue is more with pre-revenue or pre-profit startups that are "burning cash" and have X amount of time to live. That's important data for an employee.
Is that really a problem with a 7 gig inbox?
The last time I interviewed at startups, one discussed burn rate/runway and the other discussed how they were profitable and had good cash flow.

I didn't have to ask, which I considered a good sign for both organizations.
yep, looks like it.

if you check for example: http://posterous.com/explore
You can see all pretty unique titles without a number appended and then a post titled "Tetris" gets "/tetris-194"

Even if you post something without a title it just gets an ID assigned which is (this is a guess tho) the unique ID in their database of all blogs.
I really like the demo/tutorial style:
- it shows quickly and easily what the library can do
- it shows it from really simple example to more complicated one
- it gives enough details to understand what the option and the code are doing while not over explaining it since if the user wants to know more he could go look the documentation.
All of you proposing obscure emails and other solutions, one of the reasons posterous' founders claim for their success is that they explicitly did NOT do any of those things. In fact, they're pretty clear that if they had done any of those things, posterous would have failed.
Because you only pay payroll tax on payroll, not on expenses or capital purchases like equipment. A w-2 employee (and his or her employer) pays into social security up to $106,800 per annum. Same if you're self-employed; in that case one pays both the employee and employer contributions, but the latter are deductible for calculating taxable income payable to the IRS.

Here's what I don't understand about the people who are complaining. If you're self-employed, like me, you have unlimited liability for debts, torts and so on incurred as a result of work. Similarly, if I form a partnership with my buddy, either or both of us who are general partners also have unlimited liability. As an individual or a partner, I can also hire people, make business purchases and deduct those expenses for tax purposes. But if my employee or my business vehicle or whatever is the cause of liability, as a sole trader or general partner all that liability comes back to me (tax on partnerships is a little different again).

Now, if instead I or myself and my friend set up an S corporation, I/we enjoy the benefits of limited liability up to (or more realistically, 'down to') the value of the shares held which are usually nominally priced at $1 or suchlike. So if I have an irresponsible employee who is negligent or runs up debts in the company's name, my personal/family assets are protected from business-related liability claims. This protection is nothing to sneeze at, and indeed, I'm looking at reorganizing for that exact reason.

So why is it, exactly, that those who enjoy the considerable benefits of limited liability for their business operations should also be able to exempt part of their annual business gain from social security obligations, whereas a self-employed person, with unlimited financial liability, can not?
For some reason this sounds like a network of hostels with some kind of membership?

Maybe? Just the first image I had from the site description.
I believe small vendors need it to verify that you really are the owner of the CC (it's a requirement of the processor).
Most of the mass that goes with that acceleration is the battery, which also extends the range, and that you do need because superchargers are scarce on Mars. It's also nice to have a rugged vehicle when you don't have body shops.

In general, Musk treats engineering as a scarce resource. If he can use a Tesla vehicle instead of designing a special rover, he will, even if it weighs a little more. Starship can handle more than 100 tons of payload and its successor will do four times that.
I don’t understand your point. How is antifa or white supremacists at all related to this?
> It's not at all a SF problem, it's a metropolitan city problem. NYC, Boston, Denver, Austin, Boise, both Portlands, etc all have the same housing crisis.

I was responding to the claim that it's a state- or national-level problem. Perhaps you would argue that this meets some criteria for being a 'national-level' problem, but it's not obvious to me.
Use `Box<dyn Error>` as your error type, and you won't need to know about any other error type. They all convert automatically and propagate through the `?` operator.

Unluckily, in the majority of small and mid-sized businesses, non-technical people like sales and middle managers are responsible for making technical decisions, like picking a hosting provider.

I specifically asked about JavaScriptCore - the (open source) JS engine part of Safari.
A friend of mine in Portland, Oregon once told me that a package turned up at his house. He noticed that the package wasn't addressed to him, but instead the return address on the package was his address. After taking the package inside, someone opened it and found that it was full of vacuum-sealed marijuana.

A couple days later when he returned from work a post it note was left on his front door that said something along the lines of 'I think the post office got my address wrong and you may have received it, please call me.' He took the package and the note to the police.

When they tried calling the number they got a message saying that number was out of service.
When Google+ released, I remember being somewhat confused that they opted for user defined Circles rather than using user relations as a gauge for friend "closeness". As the author of this blog post points out, users almost never want to get stuck placing hundreds of people in groups that could change at any time.

In fact, one Google Research paper[1] opens with the line:
"Although users of online communication tools rarely categorize their contacts into groups such as "family", coworkers", or "jogging buddies", they nonetheless implicitly cluster contacts, by virtue of their interactions with them, forming implicit groups."

I'm curious what the eleven authors of this paper thought as they saw their Google co-workers developing a system they knew couldn't work.

I found this article that describes the economics of the movie industry:

http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/movie-cost.htm

In a way, making movies is a bit like VCs funding tech companies: a lot of movies lose money, but the ones that turn out to be big blockbusters make up for it. The highest grossing movie of 2014 made over $300 million.[1]

And successful movies can continue to earn money for years when they're re-distributed on Netflix, TV, DVD, etc.

Any reason why you don't send the data directly to the processing servers as a way to minimize complexity? If it fails to reach one, try the other.

When you mention low latency, how low are we talking? ms, seconds, minutes? The reason I am asking is because you can use s3 as an intermediate storage where you ship your compressed logs/events at a rollover interval and the processing servers discover them there. Now of course this only works if latency is not a big deal.

I thought that the latest Flash for Linux was 11.2. Where did you get v 15 from? Thanks.
Yeah but that's pretty meaningless, because left wing activists have figured out that there's no specific requirements on what a union is meant to achieve, therefore literally any activism can be connected to "agitating to form a union" in some vague way and instantly become not only legally protected, but will rope in government agencies that are themselves captured by left wing activists.

This is how you get stuff like Kickstarter being "unionized" to force management to keep online violent anti-conservative campaigns that were violating the ToS. It's got nothing to do with conventional labor protection of the sort unions were historically meant for. The only similarity is that it's about capturing institutions from the inside to take them over without having to actually buy the firm or get into management directly, except you don't even have to strike or win an employee vote. You just make yourself unfireable and spend 100% of your work time on self-aggrandizing political activism.

If this stuff keeps up the already bad reputation of unions in the USA will get drastically worse, as they won't even have the classical workers rights arguments to fall back on.
For one, HN could stop using gif tags for indenting the comments and use modern css instead.

Actually, someone here (who I cannot remember) said quite eloquently yesterday that our biggest export--and "influence" on the world--is culture.

For the first time I realized that pissing people off may, in fact be the objective as the other reply stated.

China and Russia are both (quite unique) examples of countries with an unfathomable degree of control over their citizens. It can be hard to grasp occasionally, coming from a western mindset but for the vast majority within said countries, the entire reality they see and what they believe to be true is heavily distorted--in that, it is defined by the vision of the oligarchy and information is carefully controlled to produce a desired set of beliefs. North Korea is an extreme caricature of this pattern.

Technology is naturally subversive to this as it lets people interact directly with other cultures and ideologies which may provide contrasting philosophies and--terrifyingly--the opportunity for free thought.

Restrict access to technology and you'll have a revolution. Instead, you become the "troll," or the "problem," and quietly become isolated from large areas of the network, all while reducing the amount of information you have to sift through before passing it along to the populace, in the name of security.

And while the effect on actual traffic may be minimal, it does make for a very cold perception which generally makes cross-cultural integration unlikely. How many western consumer-technology companies do you see integrating with Asia-based API's/demand, compared to other industry, let alone academics?
That's an absurd excuse for Ormandy. As, I'm sure Ormandy knows, IT pros are a LOT less likely to implement a workaround to this problem than are hackers likely to exploit it.

Furthermore, MS stated that the provided workaround is insufficient and easily circumvented.

And, he provides no evidence that any blackhats know about this at all.

To me this clearly looked like a way for Google to try to attack MS's security -- this goes hand in hand with their PR stunt of moving Google employees off of Windows due to security.
Funny enough I hear Gmail's plain HTML version is preferable for some here on HN.

Regardless I don't see how JS is fundamental to any of those services, not even Maps. Instead I suspect HTML would have become more feature rich sooner than HTML5.

I also don't believe JS itself contributes significantly to the trillions of dollars involved in online business.
It was supposedly practically impossible for that to happen so at least someone should be held responsible.

I understand that... but would have assumed they would have changed over time. Plenty of platforms have migrated backends to handle much larger load (twitter, facebook, etc, etc).
Thanks, functionality wise I plan for it to be a hybrid between high level traffic and low level events like those you mentioned. The key features at this stage are, with the exception of campaigns, everything can be manipulated retrospectively, so there's no problem if you forget to do something. Where it's economically feasible, there can be raw data manipulation on the database for you, an actual human to talk to, custom reports, basically trying to bring and enterprise level service to the smaller guys, we'll see how that pans out...
Zoomed to max and my mind was blown. What immediately came to my head was: imagine if each of those shiny points in this cloud is an atom. Our whole civilization is nothing more than a surface irregularity on one of "electrons" orbiting one of those dots. Both drives home the sense of scale, and lets one marvel at the recursivity of patterns at different scales in the universe.
