The lifetime refers to how many times you can charge and discharge the battery before it no longer works (if you have ever kept a rechargeable device for a long time you'll notice that the battery becomes less useful over time)
> Agree, though one could argue that what AM is doing is an explicit attempt to damage the basic building block of society, i.e. family

Eh. So you think the people exposing husbands and wives cheating on each other are the ones breaking families, not the ones actually cheating?

Don't shoot the messenger, comes to mind (okay, maybe imprison the messenger if he obtained the data in an illegal way, but I don't think he should be imprisoned or worse for "breaking families", when he wasn't the one committing the act that ends up breaking the family apart).

Isn't that kind of how private eyes work, too? Should they be punished for "breaking families"?

From context, it's obvious where comma is placed. Context is (sadly) so undervalued these days.

In my defense: A) Not native B) Written in a hurry.

Anyway to assuage your fears of grammatically imperfect sentences, I've installed fresh commas. Enjoy.
Regarding "keep no state", note also that rand() can not reasonably be implemented without some state being maintained between calls (even if it is maintained by the caller e.g. rand_r()).
Infidelity is not a private matter however: the person being cheated on has the right to know. For a million cheaters, there's a million their SOs, often living miserable lives but denied an informed choice about their future and kept at non-negligible health risk.

It stops being a private matter when it trespasses into other people's life.
I dunno. I've worked in games and I've worked in another role where I was on-call.

I think the kind of stress is apples and oranges.

Games is definitely more work overall, but it's generally within office hours, and you can still get a decent sleep even at crunch time if you're sensible and don't work for the worst abusers of unpaid overtime.

On-call can really fuck you up even if the actual hours worked are less.

You CAN quit. We are in an industry where you have to dodge recruiters trying to tackle you on your way to get coffee if you have any technical skill. Recruiters that represent companies capable of paying your mortgage and some probably well needed vacations.

Personally I have folded companies, quit jobs, and turned away opprotunities that represented substantially more than I make now. People have called these choices foolish but my life honestly rocks right now. Today I am happy, productive at a job I enjoy, and have time to spend with the people that matter, so who cares what other people consider logical?

"It is, IMO, clearly irresponsible and reprehensible to go around encouraging people to break their marriage vows and then not take world-class care of the database"

It's reprehensible for any third party to go around encouraging people to break any sort of vows between any two people, and it's irresponsible for any online site with a large userbase to not take world-class care of their database. Why should the two propositions be connected?

To me, it's not more irresponsible because of the nature of the site, and it's not suddenly more reprehensible because they got hacked. In addition, I would say that leaking the database is more reprehensible than the site itself ever was.
That's happening across the world at the moment isn't it? Doesn't seem to be linked to the demise of unions.

Admittedly, there needs to be a new version of unions, the next evolution. We need the next Marx to bring the pendulum back.
I've never heard this conspiracy theory before. Have you got some written evidence to hand?

Uh, what? How is membership in a website that is known, markets itself, and is designed as a cheating website not evidence of the intentions and motivations of its members? Of course membership in Ashley Madison isn't irrefutable proof that a person is looking for an affair. But how is it also not good reason to believe that he/she is?
It's awful, but I also can't help but be happy that this and other hacks like the Fappening will once again make people realize that privacy does matter, and everyone has "something to hide".

Law enforcement is having it too easy with the "terrorists can't have safe spaces to communicate" and "think of the children" messages - but what about "think of the adults"? At least this way, people will think twice about supporting mass dragnets or having their data stored unencrypted.
I'm not saying that people exposing cheating spouses are breaking families. I'm saying that AM was by explicitly encouraging that. It's not just a random dating website, it's the website targeting married people and running campaigns saying cheating is OK.

I am definitely not arguing for shooting the messenger (I apologize if my comment was not clear enough about that) - what I want to say is that I may agree the boundary between "ok hack" and "not ok hack" may lie on the public concerns/private concerns line, but IMO one could argue that Ashley Madison lies on the "public interest" side.

Ask HN: Are there some companies who using the Redux?
Hi HN,
I want to use the Redux framework what based on Flux pattern on my company.
(https://github.com/rackt/redux)

Many people are telling that the Redux is cool, and I think so too.

But there is no reference for who are using it, and it makes difficult to persuade my boss.

On the other side, the Fluxible have a good reference what like Yahoo. (http://fluxible.io/)

Fluxible is also a good framework. But Redux is more futuristic and has many references for troubleshooting.

Is there someone who using Redux in here?
Or is there a better framework for using Flux than Redux?

I discovered some lesser known Google projects via it Android play store by doing a search "Google". I found Google Sky and MyTracks.
I've got another hypothesis for GitHub: the dynamics of the market changed in a way that it became winner-take-all, which then made it make sense to take VC.

When GitHub started, they were a developer tools company, and the common wisdom was that developer tools have very little lock-in, there's room for multiple players in the space, etc. Sometime at just over a million users, that assumption ceased to be true; you now get companies that host on GitHub because all their prospective employees are familiar with it, and users that sign up for GitHub because their employers use it. With that network effect, it makes sense to grow as quickly as possible to exploit the network effect, and if they didn't take VC, they'd risk some other startup doing that.

It's not just GitHub: pretty much everyone in the developer tools market started taking VC right around then. StackOverflow in 2010; Atlassian in 2011; GitHub in 2012. In Atlassian's case, they were founded in 2002 and didn't take VC until much later. Also, developer-oriented startups started getting funded, eg. Parse, Meteor, Codecademy & other bootcamps.
R&D is not that simple and some of us appreciate this news. Coming to a thread only to complain that you can't have something immediately only adds to the overly negative feedback loop on HN.

Alternative reason: The iPhone and other smartphones. It brought games and playing back to the general, more mature audience, which got reminded of how much fun playing can be and then transformed their newly acquired need to play from the digital plane to the kitchen table.

Wanna try Hearthstone offline, play Dominion or Star Realms. Wanna farm some land, take a look at Settlers of Catan. Wanna Crush some Candy, try Set? Okay, the last one is probably a bad example.

It also helps that a lot of popular media licenses (TV/movies) get dressed in board game clothing (see http://cryptozoic.com/games ).

I haven't seen the dataset. Is there material there that confirms its legitimacy? Are we entirely sure that this isn't just opm, target, home depot, tjx, etc? (Edit: sounds like full dataset dump: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10083656)

"sources who all have reported finding their information and last four digits of their credit card numbers in the leaked database."

That's ambiguous, and the article indicates that there is considerable doubt as to the authenticity of this purported leak, along with a history of known fakes.

Even beyond that, the article mentioned that the emails were never verified, so it sounds like any could use any name and email to establish an account.

I'm sure this means trouble for some people, but there seems to be highly plausible deniability.
I find Mint (Ubuntu minus Unity) to be much more usable than OS X. OS X has some really bad behaviors by default. One example is the Alt-Tab key which is split into two different keys which make no sense in my workflow. The concept of "App" is an implementation detail but OS X brings it to the forefront.
Most systems are vulnerable if you poke around a bit. In my experience the HN voting ring detector is pretty wily.
Do you think the impact on the individuals (not just the site users, but their partners and children too) carries less weight than the impact on a few sleazy execs, who will most likely have no trouble setting up another revenue stream?
Well, yes, but as people are continually rediscovering "randomness" and "provable deterministic behaviour" are really tricky design goals to both meet. At least forcing explicit state makes the caller think slightly about cryptographic randomness. See also the /dev/random vs /dev/urandom wrangling.
I can see the person cheated on having a right to know. Everybody and his dog? If I know that my neighbor Joe is running around on his wife Jane, I might be justified in telling Jane; stapling fliers announcing to the telephone poles up and down the street seems a different matter.

There is also, as the top-level parent comment suggests, the point that adultery is more or less celebrated in much of popular culture. The mixture of hypocrisy and schadenfreude is obnoxious.

Reading this thread I actually answer VERY different this question.

I almost never say anything even closely related to the job I apply.
I talk about me, what I am as a person, what I like and also what I would like to do in the future. These plans might not even involved the company I'm talking to, I don't really see that as a bad thing.

In the end I'm just being myself, if it does not work I could probably have sneak my way into the job by lying or whatever but in the end, I would have probably ended up miserable so it's a win win.
So? You dont have to pay them back immediatly. I have walked away with neither credit or savings before. Thrown away stock and titles. There is never a good reason to let someone abuse you and hold you hostage from living a life you enjoy.

I swear this is like listening to people in abusive relationships with tunnel vision. "If we break up I will be poor!"

The world didn't end any of the times I have walked away. Little contract work and a few interviews can solve a wealth of financial problems in short order.

I think they exclusively cater to that audience. People that are married and are seeking a relationship.

The point still somewhat stands that if you and your partner had open-marriage or something, your friends and family might find out.

In which case, just pretend you were cheating on her and carry on (if price of outing you as a non-monogamous couple is too high).

This is not a conspiracy theory. Who to include in a stage III trial is one of the most difficult problems facing pharma management. They aim to make these as broad as possible and lots of drugs have died because the stage III trials were made too open.

Note though, that this extra restriction isn't a technical limitation of the NES, rather, it's a choice by the developers of Legend of Zelda for the purpose of shrinking the amount of bytes needed for each "screen" of the world.

By doing this, you only needed to store 2 palettes per "screen", rather than 16 tiles x 11 tiles = 176 palettes per "screen".
I think that's what happens in most companies all the time, all around the planet. But the reason is not evil management and it's not a result of planned activity. Management is also hard. They also have to deliver too much with too little budget at hand. The only difference is that they earn more money and they often don't have to pull the team out of the B.S. themselves on weekends and late night hours. They are naive people like you and me. There are things that are unmanageable so they ask you to help. Then they get used to your help and unconsciously consider it normal. Then their budget gets cut, or they have to cover for other departments who can't deliver as much as expected. And surprise, there is even more work for you.

I don't say that for us to excuse bad management. But I think it's very important to understand the "other side". Understanding them can provide you with options. Just saying they are idiots or evil bastards leaves you powerless.
I've followed some bloggers who transitioned to videos. The common reason given was more people are interested in watching videos than reading, and they can monetize better.

demise of unions

The demise of unions is also a general phenomenon across the western world. It's not helped by the migration of lots of factory industries to parts of the world without strong unions and with plenty of hungry workers.

Ultimately unions have only one effective negotiating tool: the strike. And if it's easy to replace striking workers, it's not an effective tool. It's also very disruptive (in the bad sense) when it is effective. UK public opinion turned against unions when they rationed electricity to 3 days a week.

We need a better check on unlimited greed than the blunt threat of going up against the wall in a Communist revolution. A lot of people have cited Piketty as the next Marx, but there don't seem to be Piketty-ist factions.

This is part of the reason why employees work such long hours in Japan. Overtime is largely unpaid for white collared workers. Coercing an employee to work ever-longer hours is effectively "free" (in the short term, until some start to physically and emotionally break down).

Because changing jobs is so difficult in Japan, there's often no recourse for the worker.
The page was constructed by progressively adding bits as I coded. The page layout is somewhat crazy because of that.
Most people choose to wildly overconsume, and as a result don't have any savings. This is a choice.

It's also a choice to enter into highly leveraged options purchases on illiquid assets which require major lifestyle changes to walk away from (mortgage). Complaining that the mortgage inhibits lifestyle changes is no different than complaining "I dropped $800k short selling AMZN, now I need to make margin call".
I didn't say it was being run out of the goodness of someone's heart. That's why they need money, to pay the bills. Having infrastructure to deal with that many users on a popular service doesn't come cheap.
I think this is not such a big issue, if it was divorce would be illegal.

If anything I would argue the problem lies then on how the estate sees marriage, not the other way around. The agreement I have with my wife is between us, no one needs to judge what we do with our private lives.
> That doesn't explain their popularity throughout the world

Dude, sorry, you're going completely off on a tangent here. I'm not saying cars should be abolished; I'm saying cars are, on average, bigger than they should be, because of rich-world cultural constructs. In the third world, for example, cars are much smaller on average, exactly because function is preferred over form. That's perfectly fine. The roads of Asian cities are full of small one-person vehicles that simply cannot be replaced, that's fine. What is not fine is first-world metropolis being clogged with suburban 4-seaters with huge empty boots and powerful underused engines just because of cultural constructs.

Honestly, you're arguing a strawman -- I've never said cars are bad, I said big wasteful cars are bad. I never said you should take the bus, I said that the vehicle you take to the city should be space-efficient.

> with the exception of dense city centers.

Which is what we were talking about.

> You're delusional if you think Top Gear viewers are the reason cities are clogged with cars.

I picked Top Gear but I could have picked a lot of other examples. What I meant is that there is a certain entrenched culture that despises small cars for no good reason. Consider the typical Clarkson line "would you pick up <some supermodel> in this car?" -- that's pushing a cultural view where you need a big-ass car to be successful and get laid. Why couldn't you pick up a supermodel in a cool and space-efficient city-car, why does it have to be a wide-ass affair? Because that's what "real men" do. That becomes a subliminal message that will work when you go and buy a car: you'll likely get the biggest one you can afford, because that's what real men do (not that women are oblivious -- they react to it as well, buying oversized SUVs "for protection" or huge sedans "for ambition").

I honestly don't care what goes on in the countryside; we are talking about efficiency in metropolitan settings here, where outdated cultural norms are clearly keeping us back.
> Are you talking about a random distribution of points on a line / square, or about rolling dice?

Right, exactly. I made my comment in reply to the grandparent problem talking about dots on a screen. For a discrete distribution like a dice roll in the parent post it'd be a different matter. (I was going to edit my comment to clarify, but the edit window had expired.) Which serves to illustrate why it's important to be precise when talking about what distribution you're sampling.

Also, trying to run this experiment in practice is also problem even for dots on a screen, because eventually the finite display size of your dots will become an issue, as will floating point arithmetic (since you only really have a finite number of floats in a given range).
It's been about 10 years since I built a PC, but I always did the following, and never had any cooling issues - in fact, I got quite good overclocking results:

Using plastic gloves (or just put a plastic bag over your hand) spread a REALLY thin layer over the cooler using your finger. This is simply just to fill any small grooves in the coolers surface. If you lap your cooler you don't need to do this.

Using a credit card spread a layer around 1mm thick on CPU, the main thing here is to just try and cover the whole area of the CPU that comes into contact with the cooler.

The most important thing is not to fret too much about this. Once you've put it all together, run a stress test and keep an eye on the CPU temp, if it goes too high, just clean the paste off and try again :)
WIKIPEDIA ADVANCED
TL;DR:
Amazon is trading at too high a price for massive movements, instead look at the volatility of the options market or for an instrument that allows buying part of a share of Amazon

Full thing:
It might not have moved because of the liquidity of the market. Due to their stock price, people won't generally own lots of the stock, so any sell orders would go through the SOES (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-order_execution_system). I'm not sure whether a Level 1 book would include that information, I have a feeling it doesn't. [citation needed]

However, SOES only works for lots of at most 1000 and only on stocks up to a value of $250. Amazon is currently trading at $535.

Occasionally another instrument will be set up that works in parts of the stock, which will be a lot more volatile, so you could buy 1/10 of an Amazon share. Alternatively, people start trading in options on the stock.

So you get the situation where the share price for Amazon looks fine, but the options market dries up or the volatility of derivative instruments is massive.

The rule of thumb is if you have any condition that you have experienced multiple times without the need for medical help then you don’t need medical help.

I have an appendix that flares up every few years and I leave it alone. I have a pain threshold that I have set that if I exceed I will go to the hospital, but if it stays below this level then I just watch and wait. I have no desire to be cut open unless I need to be. So far this has worked out well :)
