That's odd, the renderers fix seems to be Mac only. Is it already fixed on other platforms or is that simply not a priority? Chrome seems to have a higher than IE battery drain on Windows also.
No not stupid. I see religion more like a disease. Not many turn religious as adults. 99.99% have it passed down by their parents and their extended family and the culture they live in. They live life without questioning it and can't even see past it. Some people just are lucky to not have it imposed on them or wake up later in their life.
Oh thank fuck. I thought I was the only person who thinks the hamburger menu is awful. I have been totally bemused by it's pervasiveness.
You didn't "confirm" this...you're parroting a rumor that originated with a bad East Bay Express article.

Yelp doesn't change search rankings based on advertising. Source: I worked there, on search. It isn't true.
While input-side variability may be a factor, if you are doing time-and-exercise-description without closer monitoring to determine your calories out, output-side variability is also a likely factor here.

Also, doing that much exercise, you can maintain a calorie deficit (a real deficit of calories absorbed vs. burned) and not lose weight by gaining muscle as fast as you are losing fat (muscle has a lower stored-energy content than fat); you'd need more than just stepping on a scale to distinguish that.
Np, lifeisstillgood. I'm busy at work today, so am afraid I can't give full-length explanations. However I'll provide some links to some of the ideas.

HFT: Most HFT strategies involves making a market or rebate trading.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_trading#Rebate_trading

They leverage being co-located next to the exchange servers and trading algorithmically. Anyone can sign up (provided you have >500K capital).

Algorithmic Trading: HFT is form of algo-trading, just higher frequency. Most peeps in the WSJ article is probably hooked up to Interactive Brokers via Quantopian doing swing trading (entering and exiting a position on order of days or weeks).

Here is a good Quantopian back test: https://www.quantopian.com/posts/system-based-on-easy-volati...

The paper behind the back test: http://www.naaim.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/00R_Easy%20Vola...

The gist is selling VXX, the VIX 30-day synthetic futures when a VIX ratio indicates that it is too overpriced. But should give you an idea of how a backtest works and how signal (VIX ratio) is generated.

Options Trading: It's harder to explain options satisfactorily in short space of time (basically you can google Black-Scholes model, options, option greeks). There's a whole online retail community devoted to this and probably very cultish and strange to people who don't follow it; but if you want to check it out: (https://www.tastytrade.com/tt/)

Before hamburger menus became popular, weren't people complaining about the exact opposite problem? That is, if you break out the menu items into more prominent interface elements (e.g., tab bar items), then you're at risk of cluttering your visual design with less-common functions. As in all things design, I suppose a balance needs to be found, but I personally don't find anything wrong with a hamburger menu per se.

Almost everything has or needs something like a hamburger menu somewhere. Can it be abused? Yes. Does that make it inherently bad? I don't think so.
What testable assumptions does Copenhagen add to quantum mechanics? Are there other interpretations that don't add testable assumptions?
That's what I mean by not moving an item if it's already in the top 4. Do most people use all of the features of any given app? I can see things like news sites being able to get by with this, as I suspect the general use case with news sites is to only have a few sections one cares about.

Or maybe it's a Markov chain! Move an item in the list by a random proportion weighted by how frequently that item has been used in the past! Infrequently used items have a low probability of making it into the most-recently-used list, where they would supplant more frequently used items.

Or more direct: just always sort items by how frequently they've been use over time, but never allow the top 4 to be rearranged, even if one of the "lower" items gets used more.

Or more simple: just let the user choose which items they want to pin to the front view.
Agreed, sorry about that! Hopefully we can remove the onboarding soon - its just a temporary barrier to give users recommendations upon joining.

So he enabled family mode on his son's Microsoft account but was then surprised it did the things it said it would? This feature is literally on the front page of Microsoft's family accounts services.

Also, it seems weird that a parent would have no interest in the digital lives of their children, especially since these features are mainly aimed at protecting against predators.
My point is such - there's not even one research that shows direct causation. In cases of artificially sweetened drinks there's a lot of useless material.

Research done on people that are obese or have diabetes will not show the same insulin response pattern. So it's really hard to tell why Coke is bad for you, except for the obvious problems.

Too much caffeine is bad. There's also the issue of higher acidity that can hurt your teeth. Beyond that it's really easy to point more hurtful foods: donuts, pies, french fries and so on.

I've really did some research on this topic and bottom line is really simple: have a coke if you want to, just limit yourself to one or two a day at most.
> "They live life without questioning it and can't even see past it"

I have met very few people like this.

And, again, you are making the OP's point. You have it all figured it out -- you know how wrong everyone who disagrees with you is. Whether you call it "stupid" or "a disease" or "irrational", the point is that you're not attempting to learn from them or understand them, you're simply being dismissive of everyone who concludes differently from you.
I think it's the new world case of 'I sold you solution X, now it's time for solution Y'.
The first and last time a manager edited GUI parameters themselves instead of telling a programmer what to do.

I'm exaggerating, but it seems that every system designed to make GUIs simple enough for non-developers has failed. Example: CSS. sounds great until you want something centered. XAML is even worse - it's really powerful, so you try to fly too close to the sun.

I honestly think that doing UI layout in the same programming language as UI logic, and manually choosing a set of "manager tunable" parameters to put in a dead-simple config file, is the way to go. Which is more or less exactly what is described here.

If the UI logic language is expressive enough, you can still make a nice declarative DSL for GUIs. Then, when you inevitably need some complex UI behavior that can't be expressed declaratively, you don't have to deal with a language boundary.
Reading this article I instantly saw parallels to Gnome 3 and it reminded me what a usability nightmare it is.
> I also think that being older, with a family, and a full life outside of work, I'm not interested in pursuing wealth the same way that young people are. I have a nest egg, I have a good salary, I also have a wife, children, a small farm that we run, mountains, deserts and oceans to explore, stars to look at, etc.

As a young person (26), what looks like a pursuit for wealth from the outside is just me trying to get to this stability point so I can slow down. :) I don't even live in an area with absurd housing costs and I still feel like that's a distant dream if I keep on keeping on at my dayjob.

Reinventing the wheel? Sounds suspiciously like the process of learning! "Teaching is better than doing is better than being taught."
Thanks for the suggestion! I don't think either of us had thought of that.

Inside the app, Home is a starting point that lets you see your news highlights at a glance. It does seem like the concept could be broad enough, as you say, to support history and bookmarks...
Jack has probably half a billion dollars of non square, non twitter assets. Hell, merely post ipo he's sold almost 20m shares of twitter -- even at a stock price of just $30, that's $600e6 before taxes. And he's certainly had the ability to take cash before ipo in both twitter and square.

You put the most important menu items in a tab bar. If you really, really need the other junk, hide the long tail of menu items in a "more" tab.

I agree to an extent, however this is where is comes back to arrogance vs humility. A union believing itself to be the only indispensable guardian of worker from abuse to the extent that they feel comfortable running a closed shop (these things are not historically rare) means you end up with two bosses. You're no less a slave to a system.

In any case, the democracy argument is tricky. Democracy might have voting, but it is not voting.

Even calling this free riding rubs me the wrong way. It implies they are claiming ownership over something that I don't think they own.

Planting you flag, demanding compliance, excluding... Whether or not you vote I don't like it, I don't think it's power to the working person. I might hold my nose and pay the fees, I might also laugh at my boss's jokes or agree that unpaid overtime. None of those things are empowering though.
Hey HN! My friend Leslie and I created Venture News to easily keep up-to-date with the buzz in the VC community. It is great for people who are interested in VC/startups but don't use Twitter, follow all the VCs on Twitter, or have time to keep up with their timeline.

Since a good fraction of y'all keeps up w/ VC and startup news, it'd be helpful to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

Are you sure this is the right time to pursue traction? It seems to me like your target market just can't exist today in any significant numbers.

Edit: if you have something ready for consumers today maybe you could be approaching the device manufacturers and arranging some launch-day advantages for yourself?
Two things that may be relevant that I've done before:

1. The simplest. Setup scripts for doing full backups and restores to/from S3. This is helpful for many reasons, but should also help your case. Diffs are an optimisation if your data is large enough, but I think many cases are easily small enough to just push and pull as a whole. Until you're at a significant number of gigs of data, I'd recommend trying this first.

2. Record your data in an append-only format (this doesn't require a different database, just a strict way of doing things). This means you can always get a full history of any bit of your data. I do this for some scraping work (recording lots of noisy/unreliable values, so not losing old versions is important). If your data is stored like this, pushing around diffs should be easy (grab everything with a created_at time after a certain point).
[IIIF Protocol](iiif.io) at work.

It's finally getting easier to build browser-based, zooming viewers for these resources since the protocol has emerged.

At Stanford I work on [Mirador](http://projectmirador.org/), another interface to these resources (with a built-in tiling window manager). I hope that one day all large images on the web will be deep-zoomable through IIIF by default.

The internet archive is another institution with an underappreciated wealth of perennially relevant content. They have hundreds of thousands of JP2s of timeless artworks.

It will be a great boon when decent open source software exists for encoding and decoding JP2.

Those asking about the meaning of symbols/translations might be interested in the recent announcement of the [Open Annotation Protocol Specification](http://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/) by the W3C.
Curious why you'd recommend that. It seems to me that it costs you something (convenience of standard VC practice on code) and gains you little.

I'd recommend checking out the linked presentation above - for things like stored procs you have the option of installing multiple versions simultaneously (e.g. under different names or 'Schemas') - obviously you can't do that for the main schema itself. This is why I think a hybrid approach makes more sense.
Happens if you betray Power Users and move forward to an almost non customizable Chrome clone.

That should be a warning for Mozilla too, fool the users once and they fall for it, fool them twice and they fall again but try to fool them 1001 times and they give you the middle finger!
That works until a method you reference in the migration changes or doesn't exist anymore. For instance, a model you're working with might not expose some of the methods you're working with or a library has been modified, but it's being used in the migration. Obviously this is something that people should try to avoid, but I once found myself in the position of having to do checkout to some specific commits in the history in order to be able to run migrations at a past project. In the end I found myself repeating the process once too often and created a gem for it: https://github.com/hph/farfugl. This is for Rails migrations but the concept is the same in any library or language, you just have to go to the commit where the migration originates from.

As a side note, I've been using Sequelize for a year now and it can often be pretty annoying. Both the query interface and the migrations are subpar when compared to Rails. For instance:

Model.find({ id: 1}) // or maybe just Model.find(1)!

vs. (the Sequelize syntax)

Model.find({ where: { id: 1 } })

Forgetting the "where" above doesn't even raise an error, it just silently fails.
And the law does not mean that "you made something wrong therefore we have the right to treat you as shit".

And by the way, that is not what is discussed in this thread. These people made a mistake when getting the visa, and instead of getting an error, they were put in jail 33 hours. Not everyone that makes a mistake with the visa is a terrorist or an illegal worker. Probably most of them aren't.
One of the things that I felt Windows Phone 7 and 8/8.1 in their design language did well was encouraging designs that were better than the hamburger (pivots and sprawling "hubs" that encourage you to explore in two dimensions; app-bars with ellipses).

It's interesting to see Hamburger menus bleeding back into the design language with Windows 10. It seems a strange, sad concession to meeting Android/iOS designs and even Desktop designs (with their million year old menu bars) "half-way". That said, one of the interesting twists that Windows 10 designs thus far tend to put on the Hamburger menu is that secretly in many cases the Hamburger icon is just a replacement for the Windows Phone 8's App Bar ellipsis:

The items on the bar show just icons at tablet size or lower and the Hamburger simply reveals app labels and maybe (rarely) lesser used text-only options. (At larger than table sizes sometimes the bar defaults expanded rather than condensed.)

This roughly corresponds with the Facebook suggestions in the article here.

The interesting differences to a WP8 app bar are that the W10 hamburger "app bars" have mostly gone vertical and the hamburger is a toggle rather than the WP8 app bar ellipsis was a "slide".

It will be interesting to see how this design language continues to accrete/evolve as Windows 10 Mobile gets closer to launch.
That really doesn't stop those who are desperate for work. They "visited" Hungary or went to "buy a car", and then hightailed it to Italy, Germany, Netherlands to work illegally. Not sure how they got back home, probably deported and banned...

But in this case, to work legally, he'd need a work visa as you say, which I imagine is even harder to get?

Because then all of the people that protest things like high-rise apartments, and Google shuttle buses will show up to protest that too.
What I am saying is that you probably do not realize you are doing it, but if you have an expectation of hitting a particular curve (and please don't try to tell me that there is no page somewhere outlining what are the expected percentages at various performance levels...) then you will bias yourself towards hitting that curve. You will not realize it, but you will do it anyway.

This usually happens at calibration and not initial assessment, but I am quite certain that it _does_ happen because the numbers do not lie.
wait a minute... my math might be a bit rusty, but 28 samples is rather low isn't it? I'm a bit less worried now.

edit: oops 28, 59 and 6 samples... maybe I really am becoming an idiot. still not much data though.
They actually just removed their so-called "brand advertising" (which is what you're describing), because it was a small percentage of their revenue stream. They claimed it wasn't worth pursuing because they make for a bad experience on mobile, which is where their traffic growth is (their web traffic is stagnating). It was definitely their highest-margin form of advertising, and part of why the company's stock is being punished.

It isn't clear to me that Yelp, as it exists today, can ever be profitable -- they need to hire expensive sales people to cold-call businesses to sell ads that run at CPM rates that are already incredibly high. Yet they can barely break even. It's not going to be pretty as their ad rates are forced to become market competitive.
This strategy is often used in finance courses (in the context of portfolio optimization) as an example that very badly trips up conventional risk measures due to the very peculiar and ill-behaved risk distribution. Insurance companies depend on risk pooling, and bookmakers depend on running balanced books, which would distinguish them from this type of strategy.
I'd like to think that's hackers growing up. Putting that subversiveness towards building things. Not defining themselves by their enemies.

I'd say that's more maker culture, but makers tend to be far more comfortable with corporotized tools then I'd like.

Personal identity is weird. It's nice to be able to easily identify people with similar axioms to you, but damn is it a minefield.

"It's for society to decide. "

If that's the case, then I should decide how my tax money is used, no? If we had universal healthcare, would I get to decide what you do with your body, since I, as a tax payer, would be paying for your risky behavior?

"I'm curious as to why you think economic prosperity can only be reached by starting your own business."

How do you propose economic prosperity if not through a business?

A job? Who pays the wages of the workers?? That's right, a business

The government? Where does the government get the money to pay someone? Taxes. Citizens pay taxes, but they get it through either 1) working for a business or 2) starting a business.

An alternative is that the government essentially runs all businesses, but a centrally planned government monopoly is not very efficient and certainly isn't associated with prosperity.

"What's the ideal end game here - every citizen of the US operates their own one-person business?"

No. But if we change the economic climate which makes it very difficult to start a company, the only things that will be left will be big business and government monopolies.
I'm about to do it because I recognized early on that the vast majority of people in tech don't actually do anything except try to ride the backs of software engineers and other technical people. There are so many people that just go to lunches and conferences related to a specific field like network technology, for instance, but that have never ever worked with network technology. They are only experts because their friends decided to get together and call each other experts.

There is no end to the people who think they are going to fake it until they make it to the point they can hire people beneath them that actually know what they are doing. Because of how group dynamics and social calculus works, they are able to ride a business all the way down to bankruptcy and then do the same thing somewhere else. Why the hell does anyone want to be a software engineer in an environment like that.

What's worse is these people think that software engineers must work for them because engineers are desperate, stupid, and inferior while they themselves are smart and superior for their proclivity to exploit people and organize.
Not sure what you mean by "contradict". Certainly you won't easily find experiments for which the two offer different predictions. They are very different in terms of their ontology though: DeBroglie states that particles have definite positions and momenta at all times whereas Copenhagen does not.

I may be misunderstanding your point, but you appear to suggest that union workers are at more of a risk than non-union. The link you provided (addressing only mining unions, not all unions) says exactly the opposite:

"Looking at these data, only in 2001 were there disproportionately more fatalities (39 percent) in union mines (unions represented 30 percent of coal miners that year) than in non-union mines. Recent figures are more typical. In 2006 through 2009 union mines accounted for 10, 6, 10 and 5 percent, respectively, of all coal mine deaths, but over that period unions represented 15 to 22 percent of coal miners. For those years unionized miners appear to have been one-fourth to one-half as likely to be killed in mine incidents as their non-union peers."
