Probably - corruption involving the contracts, outsourced or incompetent engineers (chances are, the best and the brightest are working on things that actually turn a profit), and neither party really having a strong interest in a system they couldn't subvert if they wanted to.
Google has some of the worst UIs in the tech industry. Materials Design is not good. Google Plus is so bloated with JS that it wouldn't run on my netbook with 4 Gb of RAM. The animations and "cute" easings make me feel uncomfortable whenever I open a Google product. Gmail is only tolerable when loaded through Thunderbird.

Google does well when they stick to the Craig's List school of graphic design. If G+ looked like Craig's List and had a good API, it would have done much better. One of their mistakes is that they are trying to be innovative in an area that they have never been good at (design). It would be better to be very conservative with design and focus on being innovative in their strong areas (e.g., data).

Constructive feedback: get rid of the animations, stop cropping profile photos into circles, and go much lighter on the JavaScript, abandon Materials Design and model everything off the Google homepage: think "information not animation."

Thoughts on the difference between graphql and Falcor?
Are these slides attached to a video presentation or something similar? I'd really like to see the talk this accompanies.
Windows 10 on any x86 since 2000? Not true. Windows 10 requires PAE, NX, and SSE2; and 64-bit additionally requires CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW, and LAHF/SAHF.

In practice, this means Athlon64 (2003) or Prescott Pentium 4 (2004) or VIA C7 (2005) or later, minus some models due to Intel's insane market segmentation policy or driver issues.

Full 64-bit Windows requires a CPU from about 2006. After spending way too much time looking, I'm still not sure which ones.
The other day, I ran across this in a Yudkowsky article[1]:

> Suppose that earthquakes and burglars can both set off burglar alarms. If the burglar alarm in your house goes off, it might be because of an actual burglar, but it might also be because a minor earthquake rocked your house and triggered a few sensors. Early investigators in Artificial Intelligence, who were trying to represent all high-level events using primitive tokens in a first-order logic (for reasons of historical stupidity we won't go into) were stymied by the following apparent paradox: [.. snip ..] Which represents a logical contradiction, and for a while there were attempts to develop "non-monotonic logics" so that you could retract conclusions given additional data.

This is something that it would be fun to see if you could use a HackRF for. Anecdotally I've done occlusion tracking with Wi-Fi (knowing when someone has wandered between me and the Access Point on the other side of a wall) but never thought doppler shift would be a thing.

You know, what makes you think people have such mobility? It's not easy to just "go find another job".

You married, got kids, you can't afford to go find another job. At least not quickly. And quietly. Cause if your manager finds out your interviewing (and it's a small world) you're dead.

I don't suppose you live outside the bubble? It's a different world in say, Kansas.
If people didn't mind Touchwiz, Samsung wouldn't sell nearly as many phones as they do. Not that they like it, but they clearly don't mind it.
It's really sad that they just disrespect people's privacy. I practice practice ukrainian conversation skype at Preply at http://preply.com/en/ukrainian-by-skype and my teacher said our conversation may already be listened to so we should be careful even with jokes.
The Skype app for Android and Linux were so bad that I stopped using Skype completely. I thought that Hangouts was going to be a perfect replacement, but the notifications became too unreliable. If anyone from Google is reading my comments, and would like ideas on how to fix it, send me a message. I do want Hangouts to work. :)
For most of the technology governments use, they are reliant on off-the-shelf hardware and software. Only the military has the budget to design solutions from scratch. Police equipment has traditionally been either ancient, or repurposed military hardware, only recently have budget blown up to where it's profitable for companies to design products specifically for police departments.

The private sector literally doesn't have any use, at all, for voting machines. The problem they solve never arises in modern life. So there's no commercial solution available to repurpose. Add that to the fact that election boards are always hideously underfunded and understaffed, there's no one out there to hold the contractors' feet to the fire.

Really, state and local election boards need to just go back to the older systems, but there's nobody making them do it, and you will sound like a Negative Nancy trying to take away all their fancy new kit.

What really needs to happen is for POTUS to make it an issue. With one swipe of his pen he could issue an executive order to throw federal money at a new department whose job is to maintain a body of standards for electronic voting machines and mandate that all new machines have to adopt on a certain time table. They probably won't be secure, but it'll be the department's job to respond to reported vulnerabilities and ensure that they get fixed.

Care to explain a bit your choice of word ? Funny how I often heard about the user / programmer dichotomy. Always just felt like a user in the know.
Oh, my apologies! What OS and node/io version are you on?

The code is pretty minimal. You can throw some log statements in there to debug it yourself. Then commit the fix for others!
Your summary of #1 is uncharitable. Although we don't know the technical details of what Microsoft has actually implemented, their description of Window Server Containers applies equally well to containers on Linux.

"While the sharing of the kernel enables fast start-up and efficient packing, Windows Server Containers share the OS with the host and each other. The amount of shared data and APIs means that there may be ways, whether by design or because of an implementation flaw in the namespace isolation or resource governance, for an application to escape out of its container or deny service to the host or other containers. Local elevation of privilege vulnerabilities that operating system vendors patch is an example of a flaw that an application could leverage. Thus, Windows Server Containers are great for scenarios where the OS trusts the applications that will be hosted on it, and all the applications also trust each other."
You don't have to, but unless it's illegal, they'll tend to be coupled just for the sake of convenience.

> Loglan actually predates most programming languages

Indeed the Scientific American mention of Loglan was 1960 -- after the invention of Cobol, Fortran, and Lisp (and 50's crud like autocoder), but before most everything else.

Probably most hear of it for the first time from its prominent mention in Heinlein's Hugo Award-winning "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress", where it is the "language" used to program the strong AI that is a major character.

I ran a Loglan study group in college, and later studied Lojban, before abandoning conlangs (when I discovered that the strong version of the Sapir Whorf hypothesis is misguided at best -- although conlangs can be interesting for other reasons).

> Is there a benefit to Loglan or Lojban over Esperanto?

I am no longer so sure that the case is any different for conlangs than for natural languages.

If I ask if there's a benefit of French versus Mandarin, people will chime in with their personal favorites and rationalizations for why one is better than the other, but objectively they are both very fine languages for literature and poetry.

What? People online disagree about styling? That doesn't happen, does it? ;-)

Breaking that into a set of discreet changes some of which I should update ... ah, here's what I'm driving presently: http://pastebin.com/KhdhzY6b

1. Fonts styled in user default size preferences and specified in rem units. This addresses issues with scaling across displays with different dot pitch / pixel density. "html { font-size: medium; }"

2. Increased contrast between foreground and background. HN's margin / main body colors are pretty much precisely the inverse of what they ought to be.

3. Most of the rest of the changes are niggling. My own preferences, if you will (the stylesheet's primary consumer is: me). And it's no skin off nose what HN uses -- I've solved my problems.

But ... if I may, your response is "any change would annoy someone, so we can't change anything". I'm finding that ... curious coming from a tech/startup site.

I do appreciate HN's not hopping on the latest trend. I'm pretty underwhelmed by most online Web design (it's the problem, not the solution). But some principles borrowed from Readability / Instapaper / Pocket strike me as generally sane.

And there's always A/B testing.

> But if I think of the things I do in my day-to-day work as a software developer it is 99% logistics (getting data in the right place and in the right form) and 1% related to actual meaningful transformation. If my understanding is correct (I only had a cursory glance) eve attacks this problem from the promising angle by making all data available in a ready-to-query database.

Reminds me of the old:

Great job @yasoob!
What's even more amazing, even thought not directly relevant, is that the author is still in high school.
Well, it could happen like this:

- Walk in, present some form of ID

- You sign the slip or give a thumbprint so they record that you've voted

- Random token is generated and given to you

- You enter the token in order to vote

- You keep the token as one way to verify your vote was cast

It'd be hard to match the voter to the token if they don't write down the token and associate it with your name.

This is great! I wish there was an easy way to incorporate this into Jekyll blogs.
This is absolutely right and I have first hand experience with this.

I came back from my country after a 3 week vacation and during my 1:1 with my manager, she started criticizing things which she hardly ever mentioned. And then, a few weeks later, she and her manager pulled me aside and put me in a program where I would have to do much more difficult work (PIP) to save my job.

The PIP document was this scandalous piece of paper. Things which were a complete non-issue a few months back were made a huge deal. I had a seizure attack a few months before all this and my manager was well aware of my mental situation. Inspite of all this, she instrumented all this. I wouldn't blame here. She did this to save her own ass I guess. You've got to eat someone else's career to move yours ahead.

Bottom line is I wasn't able to cope up with the PIP work. I was made to resign and being an H-1B worker, I had to find a job to save my status. My health issues made me spiral into a depression and today I'm in a substandard job.
For better or worse, a key role of American universities is educating and developing the leadership and professional class. Sports teams create bonds amongst alumni, which glue them to each other, to the university, and to the city or state the university is in.

I'm not a huge sports fan, but I like college football okay. I graduated from two schools with Division I teams (Georgia Tech and Northwestern) and football comes up in the context of a professional exchange at least once a month. Sometimes as an ice-breaker, sometimes to cement relationships with coworkers, sometimes to avoid what would otherwise be awkward silence. College sports is deeply embedded not just in American culture, but in professional culture.

Security systems integration on highways: are you up for the challenge?
Thanks for replying, and kudos on trying something new.

Couple of points that I was hoping you could clarify:

1) A quick google search yields [1], which says that a typical family doctor has 34 hours a week of patient interactions, 92 patients a day, at about 22 minutes per interaction.

How will you be able to get to those numbers given that you have to coordinate schedules, transport the doctor from appointment to appointment, and make the doctor responsible for all of the secondary aspects of care, like taking vitals and drawing blood? Doctor offices work partially by queueing up people, so that when an appointment runs long, people pile up, and the next appointment is short, and they catch up. How does this work when the doctor does everything, and has to be transported from gig to gig?

2) What's the comparable amount of money a doc will make with circle medical vs. the median amount a doc will make with a group practice, where rent and office management are pooled?

3) With doctors salaried (fixed-cost) but their income variable (number of appointments/day), how will you stay aligned towards patient care? What's to stop you from putting pressure on the doctors to try to cut time down/visit?

Google had a nice distortion field. I recently tried Bing maps by accident and having a fast, light and smooth UI felt so good. Inertia and brand makes me still go to Google maps but I miss the old one. 2nd system effect is a damn curse.

The Daily Mail isn't the best source. And I wouldn't call the robot terrifying. Robots like this will have many positive uses.
I think that IMAP-serverside filtering is possible: https://github.com/lefcha/imapfilter I haven't really looked into exactly what it's doing though (and I'm no expert on the IMAP spec).
I wish "who pays for the system" and "where the system is installed" are decoupled, via a market that lets investors finance the system and the installation and own the resulting energy, and house owners or other sites that merely provide a place to install the panels in return for $x worth of free energy every month. If you're a house owner, you'll bid on the X, or different energy companies could make you offers, and you'd pick one that you like. If you're an investor, you'd presumably choose the site that gives you the greatest ROI — the most sunlight, the highest grid prices, and the least rent to be paid to the house owner (x above).

This addresses your point about upgrading. You can install the newer system on another roof, without incurring cost of removing the older system, and generate power (and therefore income) from both panels at once. As long as the older system is generating more power than its annual maintenance cost, it doesn't make economic sense to dismantle it.

Decoupling also means that if you decide to invest in solar energy, you can have it installed in whichever part of the world (or at least your country) gives the greatest ROI: the most sunlight, and the highest electricity tariffs. Maybe you live in a rented house or an apartment where you can't install solar panels. Giving a higher return will encourage more people to invest in solar.

Other advantages of decoupling will be the ability to invest the amount you want, whether $1000 or $100K, rather than the price of one solar system, the ability to make additional investments if you have more money later on, and the ability to liquidate an investment any time you need the money, or in a financial emergency. People will also be able to dip their toes into this market with a small investment, and see how it performs, before making a larger investment.

I agree. As a hiring manager, I prefer to do resume reviews. It's an activity that can be done with a six pack (or bottle) in the evening, and still be 10x as accurate and efficient as an HR manager. One would think they would have the pattern recognition, but they don't know enough to read between the lines. ("She doesn't have any technologies listed on the resume, and didn't graduate college, but went straight to an engineering job at Apple after 2 years at U of I and has been there for 5 years" is something that a hiring manager would appreciate and an HR manager would miss.)
How much would it cost to produce a decent secure voting machine design? No more than a few tens of millions, right?

If humans had never invented agriculture, we would have never gone to space and invented ways to track and prevent catastrophic asteroid impact. Plenty of non-human species will benefit from that, but I don't think this is a result the author predicted given this was written in 1987. IMHO, that trumps all of the ills mentioned in the paper as now we are talking about the future existence vs non-existence of the human race.

...the bigger issue is that NFL players have probably the rawest deal in pro sports.

...with the possible exception of 4-year D1 college players who don't play "pro" ball. They've still had a decade of wear-and-tear on still-developing joints and brains, and the conferences, channels, and advertisers (not so much the colleges) have made bank off their labor, while they've seen not a cent.
I'm a geek too, but I think a time comes when we have to recognize that these kind of roundabout solutions, while fun and a testament to the flexibility of our systems, won't cut it if you want your protocol to take over the world (which the XMPP community was tongue-in-cheekily aiming for in the mid-00's).

And besides, I was trying to focus the discussion specifically on mobile, which is the major platform today.

I'm really disappointed with the new babel that has emerged in the mobile chat world.
we should look at the similar ones, in case there are patterns or many people wanting the same (realistic) stuff
What? Are you arguing the warnings are meaningless then? Purely a syntactical hurdle to overcome with no bearing on the apparent truth of the statement being conveyed?

My first quote did...

"From your own source, California Code of Regulations,
Title 27, Article 6. Clear and Reasonable Warnings, § 25601 Clear and Reasonable Warnings
>The message must clearly communicate that the chemical in question is known to the state to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Honestly, it's just the classy thing to do - the impact of changing your name is nominal, the potential confusion with the other Dcron is significant.
I think the best way would be to augment paper ballots with an on site machine vision system that permits votes to be reviewed by the voter and then prints a matrix code on the ballot for future auditing.
That might work, as long as no one (including the voting machine) was recording the time you arrived or the time you voted.

So this machine has now been decertified. Fine. What I'd like to know: How could it ever get certified? What does certified even mean if not accountability of a certifier in case a system doesn't do what it's certified to do? Or is the certification process flawed? In that case I guess that should be fixed next.
