That's an interesting idea (one of my big blockers for migrating my projects off SourceForge is what to do with the mailing lists).

The issue UI is a little forum-like but is pretty clunky, and, of course, doesn't interact with email very well. Plus you need people to manually tag each issue with 'discussion'.

Are there any UI tweaks that could simplify this? For example, a way to provide a 'new issue' link with default labels?

(Also, is there a good way to import data as issues? I have a tonne of mbox archives that need to go somewhere.)
Ask HN: Where do you discuss old articles?
When I'm reading articles I often check with HN for reactions and discussion. This works best for recent articles. Old articles (like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8874499) don't allow commenting anymore. Where do you discuss those?

I find you can get much more of a 'just works' experience by ignoring the latest shiniest and using the debugged version of a couple of years back. I'm running Mavericks on the Mac and 7 on the pc and have very few issues with either. At the other extreme I tried ios8 beta when that first came out and everything was broken. It takes a while to debug stuff.

I almost never give money, but I usually give cigarettes or meal vouchers and chat a little. When I finish a book I give it too, it's often much appreciated because as one guy said "you have no idea how boring it is to be on the street".
What's more, when I look at http://www.nomiddleman.co/products/executive-desk-sz1511 I see a brown table that can accommodate about four chairs, with sloping metal legs, for $1089. When I look at http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S69857764/ I see a white table that can accommodate four chairs (at a push), with sloping metal legs, for $100.

Now, I know the former product looks larger and it's brown. It may well be a nicer product. But the page doesn't give me enough information to tell how much nicer it is. For all I can tell on that page, it could be an Ikea set of legs screwed onto a wood-effect particleboard surface with a huge profit margin.

Reading is the old-school local processing. Asking people is cloud computing, which is hot so it must obviously be better!
I agree that it is not always the best solution to give money (rather than say food etc) but "because they like to live like that" is (as far as I am able to ascertain) a huge over-simplification and in many cases probably an outright falacy. It is well documented that (as with the prison population) there is a high occurrence of mental disorder in homeless people.
As new articles get on average very few comments don't expect people discussing old comments. Perhaps you can reformulate the content in a new setting and gain attention. With 10 million post in HN is no wonder millions are sleeping for ever.

I generally avoid giving money as I don't know where it ends up and don't want to support substance abuse in any way. I tend to give to charities helping the homeless. When I used to live in London and worked for a huge organisation, I also organised a "buy a lunch" campaign once every few months whereby anyone buying in the staff canteen could either add a set amount of money or duplicate the cost of their meal and all the funds (matched by my organisation) then went towards providing meals and shelter for the homeless....

For me, it's not about the value of my time (calculating like that is a huge can of worms, and realistically, most of us don't work in the time we save by not seeing ads, but watch an additional episode instead).

I just loathe ads. I gladly pay 9€/month for the ad-free experience on Netflix. (Plus, in Germany, everything on TV is dubbed, and it's hard to enjoy that if you know the original. Netflix offers the original soundtrack.)
US doesn't care about freedom in other countries. They may say so, but action say a bit different story - how can they be good friends with places like Saudi Arabia and worse? what they care about is, are you with us or against? any other position is very hard to maintain, albeit possible. you just need a bit extra finance for that.

freedom and good life for vietnamese people was not considered much when that war was planned (beginning by staged US Tonkin gulf accident to get a foot in situation, in good ol' Gleiwitz nazi style). it was all about influence, having foothold out there so soviets don't take it all around, keeping armed forces trained in real life scenarios (train your forces in small war to be prepared for big one) etc. US was very much anything but a good guy there. Saying North vietnamese did worse things doesn't make you automatically a good guy, does it.

Nah, Vietnam is just another topic in US history americans should feel ashamed of. Quite a few I met that are not teenagers actually do. And look at result - they lost the war, they screwed up that country really bad (ie many birth defects many years after the war thanx to Agent Orange spraying), and at the end, country found its way to +-democracy in peaceful way, although it took some serious time. But you can't make that much money from selling arms in peace, can you
Typically you are investing into getting new customers, so unless you can get CAC < first month payment[1], you will have a limited marketing budget hence a static number of new users.

[1] One way of achieving infinite marketing budget is to offer discounts for annual prepay, if e.g. you get 25% of customers to pay 10 months upfront (annual plan with 2 months free), you receive 25% * 10 + 75% * 1 = 3,25 monthly payments in month 1. If you get CAC below 3,25 ARPU then you have infinite marketing budget and that can indeed go geometric. But that's a big if, and even then at some point your marketing channels will dry up at some scale, while churn remains the same at scale as businesses keep dying or changing their mind.

It's nost just with Lagrange points. Actually, most of the satellites need to carry some fuel for station-keeping - the combined effects of non-uniform mass distribution in the orbited body, solar radiation, gravitational pull of other bodies and even air drag will slowly alter, or even completely degrade your orbit.

I've been doing this for a while, after being sick of all those poor quality JavaScript frameworks and it works perfectly fine.

Usually the "main" JavaScript framework code is bloated, but kind of working, but as soon as you need some add-on or extension you are entering bug hell.

I'll just write the code in Scala, and have the assurance that it works without having to deal with unmaintained, bug-filled JavaScript libraries.

Fair point, I’d forgotten the first line by the end of your comment. Mea culpa and I’d give myself a downvote if I could.

Either way, let me give you the reasons that Macs were cost effective from the point of view of a small (20 person) agency I recently worked for:

* primary development of the web stack we worked on was on Macs. Windows PCs were difficult to get running properly, and Linux while generally OK often had smallish bugs unless you were using LTS releases which quickly became outdated.

* Our designers used Photoshop and other Adobe products and helped out with front-end dev so they were stuck on Mac full-stop if they wanted one machine.

* We had an Apple store 5 minutes walk from our office, so hardware support was immediately available if required.

* Standardised hardware on the Mac platform meant standardised connectivity: everyone had a Mac charger at their desk, mini-DP screens, AppleTVs in the meeting rooms to stream your desktop to etc.

* Clients that were buying design services felt like they were getting their money’s worth if they walked into a room full of people with beards and Macs (I know you’ll hate that point, but that doesn’t make it less true).

* The PCs we had in the office on average had more hardware problems and needed to be replaced more often than the Macs.

People weren’t forced onto Mac hardware (we had Linux users too) but objectively it generally made more sense for my company for the reasons above.
Its interesting how our expectations shape our perception.

> The suggested alternative is to "Subscribe" to an issue for updates, which is what I've started doing to issues that I want to show my support for. My support, however, isn't visible to anyone else.

Though following the resolution of an issue usually means I'd like for it to be resolved, the converse isn't true: I've hit thousands of issues over the years but most of the time I've been able to work around them and haven't hit it since, resolving the issue would be nice for people coming after me, but I don't really care to be spammed by its status updates.

So yes, "subscribe" could count as a +1, but no "subscribe" should not be the only way to "+1" an issue.
> but the United States got the knowledge (and some unused V-2s) to give their space and missile development a big boost. The first big rockets the US fired were unused V-2 rockets followed by US-built V-2 clones.

At first the USSR even had V-2's produced in Germany -- Mittelbau-Dora was in their occupation zone.

The math is pretty realistic for a given starting point. Of course in practice there will be other factors that might compound the churn braking the growth or that might allow a larger marketing budget based on the increasing growth in absolute terms leading to more turnover (I devoted a paragraph to that at the end of the article).

But for the purposes of illustration it is the easiest to keep all the numbers fixed and let only one of them vary.

Update: I wondered for a bit before I posted the above, about how I should word it and how much info I should share. I thought I'd go with a "post the most helpful info I've come across" approach, since I like trading high-quality information.

I'm interested to understand why people think the correct response to the info in my parent post is to downvote it (it's currently at -1 as I type this reply). It took me 9 years to learn what I know now, and this info has benefited my life greatly.

I will confess that I do still have a lot of issues with communication and social cues, but I cannot see any instance where I've behaved in a way that is behaviorally unacceptable and/or socially degrading, purported my view to be the only acceptable solution (far from it), or otherwise detracted from this conversation.

So I'm very confused :(

When the moon casts a shadow on the earth we (on the surface) experience it as a solar eclipse.

For these images, the moon is not directly between the sun and the earth, so it cannot block sunlight from hitting the earth. So, no shadow.
Which will drive more people away from watching TV which will require an even more aggressive approach.

That dark edge is an artefact of the delay in capturing the three monochrome pictures through the different RGB filters.

The article says :
"Combining three images taken about 30 seconds apart as the moon moves produces a slight but noticeable camera artifact on the right side of the moon. Because the moon has moved in relation to the Earth between the time the first (red) and last (green) exposures were made, a thin green offset appears on the right side of the moon when the three exposures are combined. This natural lunar movement also produces a slight red and blue offset on the left side of the moon in these unaltered images."
> Note that some hash functions output only half of their state vector as the final hash. If you built your construction out of two such hash functions, and no weaknesses were found in either, then your proposed construction would be collision resistant.

Actually, as long as the hash functions are iterative, the whole construction can never be significantly stronger than the best hash function, see [1].

> What you mean is that "the work factor for finding a collision in the concatenated pair is at least the max of finding a collision in either half of the concatenation." That's a true statement.

What I meant was "as long as it is infeasible in practice to find a collision in either of them, it is infeasible to find a collision in the concatenation". Comparing the security of hash functions to random oracles with the same output length only makes sense if the construction of the hash function supposedly affords this security.

Conversely, I find it absurd to call the hash function that outputs the first 64 bits of SHA-1 collision resistant, because it requires at least 2^32 steps to find a collision. It fits with the oracle definition, but gives you no information about its real world security.

If you want to make precise statements, you can add the work factor to your statement, e.g. "The first 512 output bits of SHAKE-256 afford preimage resistance up to a work factor of up to 2^256".

On top of that, think of it this way: if someone writes a negative review, wouldn't they innately feel that you wouldn't reimburse them? So you are basically "paying for positive reviews" psychologically, rather than the more fair reviews if they were compensated in the first place IMHO
People enjoy the games, they pay for them, those payments accure to employees of the company and eventually investors who make it all possible. So the whole goal of the business is literally creating happiness.

The investors, having produced value, can then invest in something else.

The people playing the games are also producing value, because they earned their paychecks doing something productive for somebody.

Of course, all of this is true of every productive company and is readily evident in everyday life (unless you live under communism). You need to take an econ 101 course. Or maybe just pay attention.
I think the optimal way to do this would be to use an RNN that can walk up and down the DOM. So it starts at the HTML tag, and chooses which path to go up and down, visiting each node. Then iterate through every style attribute and predict what value it should have.

This would create a simple way of generating CSS styles for a document, without dealing with the complicated issues of RNNs having limited memory and producing correct syntax.

Then you can use these predictions as a prior probability over what the CSS styles should be. Then you can use some kind of bayesian optimization to find the optimal settings in the least number of experiments.
