Fucking great comment.

The appearance of impropriety is assumed to be impropriety by half the viewers. Unless proven otherwise.
You’ve outright accuse a user of trolling when there’s no indication of this being so. In fact, it seems more likely that this is their genuine viewpoint. Nothing about it seems insubstantive or volatile to me and it’s pretty inoffensive compared the garbage fire these threads to end up with.

> This is about ethical duty. Facebook is trying not to shirk this ethical duty. The top-level comment believes they are misapplying and overreaching in their effort to do this. Both my comment and the one it replies to largely do not touch even this discussion, their shtick is property rights and mine is substantive discourse. If you think I made a point about censoring unpopular content, you replied to the wrong comment.

As to this, fair enough. I had wrongly assumed this comment to be implicitly taking the other side of the GP comment, simply calling for its removal instead of refuting it (you’d be surprised how much things like this happen)
This uhh packing the courts thing. Isn't it what mcconnel has already done by denying all of Obama's appoints and delaying them so that they could be trump appointments instead? Especially given the odd appoints trump made like folks who'd never talked in a court before

It's highly unlikely that the US becomes a one party state, but instead, the politics of the two parties changes. The most obvious change being that the republicans stop being the party of racists? They can easily draw more votes from minority conservatives if they drop the racism
I started building a multiplayer drawing/guessing game (https://www.multiplayer.com.au/) last year that I plan to get back to working on this year to "finish" it.

It definitely needs to be polished up in terms of both the UX and the tech as I took a lot of shortcuts as it originally started as a 4-hour project just to see if I could build something with canvas and websockets, which eventually turned into a game format rather than a freeform whiteboard after a number of evenings spent on it.

Given that I'm now more comfortable with websockets, I also want to try my hand at a few different style casual games and hopefully be able to get to a point where people can jump from game to game on the site as a group.
Not elite, but elitist. Yes, running your own hardware is easy. It also sucks, and you will have poor network performance compared to a datacenter.
Blame Carrier. Modern SMS could have been great, but Carrier didn't want to lose the however minimal revenue they had with SMS. ( Not every countries has unlimited SMS across all Network and across the world )

Or Blame MSN, the Instant Messenger, when Microsoft refuse to admit defeat to the Smartphone platform.

So WhatsApp took over in EU ( I believe iMessages or SMS is still popular in France ), UK, SEA, Brazil, Hong Kong. Line in Japan and Taiwan, KakaoTalk in South Korea. Unsure about Australia and Canada. ( They use WhatsApp but not to the extent of countries listed above. )

And it is iMessages in US. I have no idea why that thing even took off. I have tried it dozen times over the years and every few months it has problem with message delivery, people in group not receiving any messages. Poor Searching capabilities etc....

Telegram has gain usage but for different kind of reason. And I dont see it ever being used in the same manner as WhatsApp.

So most of friends just clicked yes and share their Data. It is important to note despite the increasing hostility against FB on HN, and in Tech Circle, most people in the world seems to have no problem with it. I dont see WhatsApp going away any time soon.

Edit: How does this data sharing fit in with GDPR in EU?
They're totally different words. I used to be an engineering manager with direct reports who wasn't really much a leader. Today I'm an engineering leader without any direct reports.

Leadership happens from the front and doesn't really have anything at all to do with year end reports and making sure everyone shows up on time. Management rarely does more than HR busywork. The way many engineering mangers work they often have skills so outdated as to be effectively non-technical.

Leadership can happen at all levels regardless of title. Leaders often are some of the most skilled technicians, able to have an outsized impact on both the team and the direction.
Second that. Once was visiting the German parliament and just strolling around the waiting area. Suddenly a (unarmed) guard rushed from a hallway and asked for my ID. He seemed not too amused with me going through these automatically opening glass doors...

As to the infosec problems: legislature is run (even more in the US) by mostly senile, corrupt lawmakers and a staff of technically inept party groupies (or so I guess, clicking random aides linkedin-profiles). I doubt that any nationstate actor needs a raid of their offices to get to their computers (and that's why these people probably get the real national-security stuff on paper...)
I live in Asia and I can buy amazon gift cards without a problem using a non US credit card. they warn you that they are denominated in USD and hence might not be able to use one's preferred method of payment, but that's about it.
> Is "internet access" permission just granted for any app by default without asking the user?

IIRC it was changed because people complained that a lot of apps required that permission despite the functionality not needing it. E.g. calculator app or whatever. Turns out that you need this permission if you want to display ads. So Google just sided with the advertisers and removed the permission from the display. Generally, I believe that Google likes internet connected things because they as a company have better tools to capture online revenue streams vs offline ones.
Society would be better off if trump were treated like the extreme but fringe and discountable voice he is. The US has had a president elect since November, but most of the headlines are still circling trump. Most lame ducks quickly get put into the second or third tier of coverage after the election results. After inauguration, the media had better never mention trump outside of the “special interest” section of their coverage.
Only every played the second Fable but I still remember the one choice you need to make near the end and have to pick one of three "fates".

Not sure if it's considered a spoiler at this point but there's basically the one option to return a beloved companion to life (after recently being forced to suffer his death in the game). It wasn't necessarily the most logical choice nor is it the "smart" choice if you're treating it solely as a game and trying to get the most points/gold/etc....

...but when I was offered that choice there was not a single question which one I would pick. It's all just pixels and textures and sound effects but the chance to return a character that had followed you for most of the game hit me way harder than I might have expected. Manipulative,cheap, emotional exploitation? Maybe. No regrets though.
I would just add to that - most MBA courses (well, mine, anyway, a sample size of 1) involve a lot of case studies. In many cases, you can choose the topic of the case study, just be getting approval from the assessor for suitability. Thus, you can decide to study GE, Digg or Microsoft, whether it's for marketing, industrial relations or strategy.

When I went through I had a fellow student who was preparing to take over the family cleaning business with several hundred staff. A friend was a career airline pilot getting ready to step out of the cockpit and into administration. I also had career public servants learning on the public dime to get to the next pay grade. There was also aimless students who weren't ready to leave university because they had no direction in life. The things that these different groups studied vary a lot.

The one thing that did come through, unfortunately, was a heavy reliance on Powerpoint.
You could invert the phrase and still make a lot of sense: 'Nature follows from the basic mathematical assumptions.'

But you are quite right: Philosophers know better, could know...
Except that "what's important to your customers" isn't necessarily "what's important to the last caller, or the angriest one". That model doesn't really scale beyond a certain number of customers...
Also this (later in the thread), he was pretty wrong..

"Making software free, but only for folks with enough money
to buy first class hardware (x86) is an interesting concept.
Of course 5 years from now that will be different, but 5 years from now
everyone will be running free GNU on their 200 MIPS, 64M SPARCstation-5."
Yes, I'm assuming that the budget is for production costs. So revenue - production_costs - theater_costs = profits.
That's because value is a nebulous term, and the common unit of measure which anyone can relate to is time.
Isn't Akka planning to add types w/ typed akka? If they can pull that off some subset of Erlang should be doable as well
LZ4 can do that.

There is a function, called LZ4_decompress_safe_usingDict() which seems to match your objectives.

In case of doubt, you should ask directly the author, at : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/lz4c
Funny thing is that some of the keys `!"£$%&/()=?^` still require some shift or dead-keys combination with the french/belgian layout (and the french belgian and french layout differ slightly as well).
Cloud haskell is interesting but doesn't even approach the level of the same capabilities as Erlang w/ OTP and BEAM, and the creator of Elm has described it as a language primarily oriented for responding to UI concerns, not a systems language
Dell XPS 13/15/17 are super repairable, too. Unlike the macbooks, the battery is replaceable. On 15"/17" models the RAM is socketed. The SSD drives are all standard socketed. And nothing is glued, everything is screwed in with a good replacement parts market available after about a year of the laptop coming out. I've just gotten the XPS 9310 and 9700 and they are very repairable.

Only things missing are the RAM on a 13" version and wifi cards being soldered in (but you can theoretically use a different wi-fi card on a 17" as it has a spare M.2 slot).

Before that I've performed upgrades from XPS 15 9550 to 9560 and 9570 by swapping the motherboard and couple other parts. So it's not like Apple _at all_. It's more like the opposite of Apple
To be fair, Telegram's protocol is open and there are many open-source clients with their established userbases. There's even a separate team at Telegram developing an official alternative client (Telegram X) to foster competition. Also, there's Matrix-Telegram bridge in development.
So the article's point is only partially applicable to Telegram.

>Why does everybody wanting to exchange messages need the same client?

Why not go a step further and ask why everybody need the same protocol?
Why is this a better solution?

Separating the dependencies between programs allows you to test and release independently to allow incremental upgrades. IMO that is better.
You can go straight for 0% infill (vasemode).

WebGL is not adequate for use cases besides games and VR because text is not really supported.
In 4-Hour Work Week, Tim Ferris brags that he is a judo champion because he found a loophole in the judging criteria. By forcing people out of bounds 3 times in a match, he could disqualify them and win by default. Ok, sure. Those are the rules, and he won. But in any way that really matters, he was not a judo champion.

Further, this guy’s association with Tim Ferris (see his Youtube) is an automatic disqualification in my book.
This is not a problem for the customers who just want their door open.
I doubt it. My guess is that they have a usage-per-server stat and don't go over that.

For example, 10 VPSs per physical server, no more. If we're going to up 1000 new VPS, we're going to need 100 new physical servers.
Last I checked, the votes still go against your karma. It just doesn't display anything below -4. I think this was intended to prevent hive mind downvoting.
This is still very alpha, but I'm submitting this because I really hope this succeeds. Erlang is really powerful and provides more modern paradigms for concurrent programming that just are not easily implemented in other VMs. However, Erlang's prolog inspired syntax is a big turnoff to many programmers. This could be a breakthrough.
“Assange won our poll by a great margin — but of course, Lady Gaga was No. 2. We take all that into account.”
Based on my brief testing it is mainly the submit and discuss-pages that are slow, not the main-page.
If she didn't have the money, then why did she bid? She broke EBay's TOS - he did not.
My phone's contacts list. Make friends with as many people at your current company as possible, and when they leave, make sure to keep in regular touch with them. I enforce self-discipline on this by putting regular touchpoints in my GTD app. I try to get coffee with or talk on the phone to former coworkers once every 4-6 months, depending on how well I know them.
Please don't do this here? Even if a comment is bad, replying like this only makes the thread worse.
As far as I understand the military power in Sweden is able to cut traffic in and out of Sweden if it would be necessary.

It is not that difficult to believe, since they have the right to eavesdrop that traffic, so their fingers are in that cookie jar already.

Imagine if we had designed internet to be resistant against governments as well, instead of only nuclear bombs.
You should speak to Tracell(tracell.com), if you havent. They are in Franklin, TN very close to you and do many amazing things in that area. We used to do some subcontracting for them. Awesome small company with very experienced founders.
If the experience is so hit or miss that speaks against trying your luck, no?
But we can trivially see a boulder rolling down a hill and know that limbs are not a pre-requisite for motion.
Unlikely. Linus praises Larry several times and said that he had absolutely no problem with Larry making Bitkeeper non-free:

(a) How is it possible to say "if we can even call that a problem" re inequality?

(b) How is it possible to say inequality does not stem from capitalism? Where else could it stem from.

I am not advocating the abolition of capitalism, I advocate a mixed economy.
> If we had something similar for C and/or C++ before boost was developed, I'd bet we had a SerialPort lib, independent, portable, efficient, focused and well tested, and BoostAsio would just depend on it, instead of developing inside that logic.

That's backwards. A SerialPort library would depend on Asio since it defines sync and async streams and the utilities built around that. It seems bad design for a SerialPort library to reimplement those basic utilities.

A dependency manager allows for finer modularity. So instead, Asio could be split into multiple libraries: Asio.Core, Asio.Serial, Asio.Network, etc. Its ok we have to bring in two smaller libraries instead of one large libary, since we have a dependency manager to handle this for us.

Also, a lack of a dependency manager in C++ has lead to developing of large monolithic libraries. So instead of managing dependencies, the library gives you everything plus the kitchen sink, so the user won't need to use another library. Of course, this is not scalable.

The other side-effect from a lack of a dependency manager in C++ is the developing of unnecessary header-only libraries(like Boost.Signals2). This just slows down compilation.

A real viable dependency manager in C++ will be a game changer, and recently. there is a lots of serious talk about it. In fact, there are like 3 difference talks that are directly related to dependency managing at C++Now 2015.
I totally agree with the statement.

If you can have 2x as many people work on a piece of land and get 2x the production from it (relative to industrial agribusiness) that's very interesting.

That means that the limit for how much food we can get is due to the number of farmers, not the amount of acres. And the idea that we could ruin 20-30% of the farmland in the world and still recover is very encouraging, because you can make up for that kind of loss by simply increasing the number of farmers and production would go up more than enough to make up for it.

Also even once land is "ruined" it's still not ruined forever. It just takes some years of rest and rehabilitation before it is fertile again. You can grow peanuts to fix nitrogen. You can plant grass and graze cattle on it for several years to fix large amounts of biomass into the land and kickstart the process of renewal.

Medieval farmers knew about this and they had a "two field" system where they farmed one field and left the other fallow. Eventually they figured out that 50% rest wasn't strictly necessary and went to the three field system where a field got 33% rest. Right now most farmland gets 0% rest which is part of the problem.

Lets suppose that there are diminishing returns to adding farmers. Eventually you run into the limits of sunlight of course. But if most farmland is only 10% efficient and lets say that quadrupling the number of farmers per acre only triples production. By teaching people to be farmers and to manage their land very jealously we could have well over half the fields in recovery all the time and still have enough food.
Haxe, coding and mindfulness
I believe that erosion is a bigger issue than loss of nutrients.

For example, Iowa has lost an estimated 10 inches of topsoil in the last 150 years. There are only six inches left. Dust-covered bedrock does not make good farmland.
So if I wanted to only serve most of US users, I could set up a handful of servers and get access to all for free under your plan?

How many times would they need to interconnect with a particular ISP? Once?
I hate it when people assume that everyone else thinks the same way they do.

Just because you get lonely eating alone doesn't mean everybody does.

"Being in any clique, even if it’s just the nerds, is vastly preferable than eating alone."

This is just bullshit. I don't want to be part of a clique. Or a group. Or anything of the sort. My lunch time is a time to get AWAY from people and recharge. Take that away from me and I get stressed out and my productivity suffers massively.

"For loners and geeks, finding people to eat with in the cafeteria at school can be a huge source of stress."

For a lot of us, feeling pressured into "socializing" because some bigwig decided that it's good for us is a huge source of stress. Just leave us be! Please! It's my time, so let me do my thing. Alone.
While Greplin is impressive, it's not in the same scale as Google, even in its early day. Google built an large global index for everyone, while Greplin built many small indices for many users. Some calculation would illustrate the point.

Google's global index: 1 billion documents. Searchable by 1 million users. Need to support 1B x 1M search capacity.

Greplin's individual indices: 1000 documents/user for each individual index. With 1 million users, there are 1B documents total. Each user only searches his 1K index. Only need to support 1K x 1M search capacity.

It's orders of magnitude difference.
No offense taken at all, certainly. I wouldn't have posted here if I didn't want feedback!

And to that point, I totally appreciate it, and plan on taking a hard look at how I present the information to look for more effective ways to get my message across without rambling about myself.

I guess I take a slightly different perspective, so it's nice to hear another point of view. I will typically buy from an individual before I will some larger organization, even if they have less experience, as long as they can show that they know what they're doing (and I've grown up in a print shop and have input from my mom who grew up and owned one herself, knowing the ins and outs of such production).

Although, I do want to add that I don't agree that $36 for 250 cards is terribly steep. Keep in mind that this includes any tax and shipping. I do admit it's not the best price, compared to some services, but it's not horrible either, and in all likelihood the price will be less than that when one's card is actually charged (as I can typically work out a deal with my printer, but those aren't consistent–I'm working on a standardized pricing plan).

That said, it's useless for me to have to explain that here, I should be looking into conveying that point on the website if necessary or removing the background information altogether ;)
This is not self publishing, this is powerpoint.
Pay Now is now correctly placed. Good job making fast changes!

Some updated thoughts:

1) I'd keep the [X]'s inside the App to be honest. They look kind of jarring outside, but maybe there is a third option I am missing

2) Still need to move login/signup to somewhere more obvious. Maybe move both those up to the very top right, along with moving "Hello Guest" with them up there as well. Then move the logo to the top left (instead of a little bit down from the top left), and make the Logo, sign in/signup/hello guest into a "top bar" by adding a line below these items. Would probably help a lot.

3)Pay Now is not overlapping, but now I'm not sure what it means. Does this mean I need to register (change this to Sign Up to keep wordage the same) to get the "pay feature", or is this part of the invoice?
At work I'm a "food outlier", because I'd actually like to have pizza :(.
I never heard of it or of the 80186. I was hoping to get some dialog going on it. I cannot even find a pic of it...

Joel's free to want to eat lunch however he wants, but who is he to decide that people who are happy to eat alone are "loners", "don't like people" or are pretending not to be sad?
hencq; right so my point is. Why is this conspiracy drivel?

I am looking at it, and it looks to me like it is not just fake, but blatantly fake to the point where anyone else would look at it and see the same thing as me.

But I am not an expert, so I am hoping an expert (like you maybe) will say, "actually.. x,y,z this is totally normal"
I did read this, and the article is nothing of the sort.

He assumes that technologically it will be practical, perhaps to a point that it's comparable to existing prices for high-end seats on a plane.

Even so, he points out that the security risks mean that it will never happen from existing airports, and that any time saved on suborbital flight will be used up taking the train back to the major city.

He gives a real-world example of the Concorde intercontinental routes being ditched... they didn't make enough money.

Rich people who can afford this want to go to LA and New York and Paris. Not New Mexico, rural Maine, and Scotland.

> It's a very pessimistic essay about the future, where all air travel is horrible and nobody will want to fly. I don't buy it.

Have you flown recently?
This is a great observation/suggestion! Voted up, and suggest others do the same.
Looks really good! :)
Until there's an answer to the question of finding comparable hardware that doesn't include forum posts with tons of competing advice, I think I'll be sticking with Apple's kit.
