Thanks. Sorry, I must have worded the question wrong! I was asking how old the average company was at the time that you invested :)
I actually have a hard time coming up with an idea from the previous bubble that is not at least being tried again now with more success, or already successful.

I'm not saying someone couldn't do it, but it's not easy.

One classic mockery target is the company that was going to deliver dog food to people. (I want to say Pets.com but it seems like they were more diversified than that.) The only wrong thing about that idea was that it isn't its own company. Amazon will happily deliver you dog food, as well as all kinds of other basic staples. (They even started a new program for that lately.)

Fresh grocery delivery from local stores is probably the best example I have... it exists, we can't quite call it dead, but only in very limited areas, and is still struggling to grow. (Bear in mind that there is a strong correlation between reading HN and being in an area that has grocery delivery. :) It isn't very common.)

I'm interesting in anybody who can come up with something from 1999 that still doesn't exist at all, or has failed so utterly that nobody is trying it today.

You might like to look at how reapp [1] has achieved this.

It has default styles baked into each component, allows granular overriding of styles at a component level, as well as global theme support.

I'm strongly considering downgrading to Windows 7. After the upgrade I can't put my PC to sleep - it wakes up all by itself after a couple hours,for no reason whatsoever. I tried doing "powercfg - lastwake" and it just doesn't show anything. I've disabled every single wake timer in the task scheduler, and also completely disabled wake on lan in device manager and in my BIOS. It annoys me enough that I actually want to downgrade.

How is Steam on Linux (+Wine) these days?
What is the population's view of piracy now?
Do you have right? Yes. Should you lie to your partner? Probably not. People have the right to do many things, even if those things are not beneficial to them in the long term.
That's actually one thing I miss from Windows when I'm on Linux: Git for Windows is wonderful in my opinion. I don't know how to use Git on the command line (or rather, I'm not terribly comfortable with it). I don't use Git every day or even every week, so Git for Windows is a godsend to get me to actually commit things. Git on Linux is much, much more difficult for me.
I feel that this would eventually give rise to services that filter out all the "bad" data.
To further go with this, I have a simple email I scored when gmail first opened. Basically it's a single name with no extra characters. Anyways tons of people sign up for things under that email, and that email is of course in the Ashley Madison leak. It's also part of a ton of other leaks but it's never me. Someone even has a facebook account under it that they won't let me delete. People have used it for AT&T, Verizon, AllState, Honda. Hell even FarmersOnly.com.

I had to stop using that email because of all this over the years. It's unfortunate but this email address is tied to me, I've tried to erase my name from it as much as I can on the Internet tying it to me over the years.

Mostly I just laugh it off, it's annoying. At least my wife knows I wouldn't be on farmersonly.com.
Especially if people are mostly minifying their code already.
Life with the Dash button: good design for Amazon, bad for everyone else
Something can be both accurate and mean at the same time. Example: "hey, you're fat". I feel that "hey, you're bitter and need to get some friends" is about the same ballpark. Maybe other people have a thicker skin, though.
Some people aren't comfortable with the amount of data Microsoft is collecting about them. There are a lot of privacy issues, and their terms of service are really quite jarring if you read them. Even turning all the the tracking and telemetry off, you cannot be sure they are not collecting your personal data.
The real question is how often does dnsapi.dll change, and when it does, can you reapply your patches? The crackers were quite successful in bypassing the activation scheme for previous versions and made autopatchers that would find and patch the right places, in a generic way that worked across many versions, so I'm reasonably certain that this could be done to preserve privacy too. And with more people on their side now than just pirates, there's all the more reason to do it. It's essentially taking the files that would be changed in an update and passing them through a filter that automatically maintains the pieces you want.
Introvert shy away from things that doesn't really matter to them,but talk about something that they are interested - honestly you will find them as most aggressive people. :)
Old Navy Jeans fall apart way too fast for me and I don't even wear them very hard. I've stopped buying them after the last two pairs wore holes within 6 months. Maybe I just got unlucky but examination of the material shows them to be much thinner than a pair of Levi's or Wranglers.
You will most likely attach an event listener to the button. You could just use `element.addEventListener`, but that's not consistent if you use React for other form elements.

Next, you might want to dynamically change the button's text, color, visibility etc. At that point, if you are using pure DOM API, the code will start to look like spaghetti, unless what you're doing is a really simple one-off form page.
> Besides driver problems

As long as you stay away from perpetually-beta distributions that I shall not name, driver problems are really a non-issue. I haven't had a malfunctioning peripheral under Linux in a very long time now (years?). Driver problems are on-par with what you see on Windows :-).

> missing support for newer OpenGL standards

This has been a common complaint about OS X for a long time, and no one thought desktop on it didn't work.

> fragmentation of desktop environments

As long as the desktop respects ICCCM (hint: they all tend to do) and you don't write your application using some obscure, non-ICCCM compliant toolkit, this tends to be a non-issue.

> it doesn't even have GUI isolation (meaning that any X11 application can sniff your keyboard input):

This is true. However, the expectation is that you'll usually run open source software from trusted sources (and you can run untrusted applications in an Xnest session). Methods aside, it's just as easy for a malicious user to keylog you on Windows or OS X, the Linux keylogger is just more trivial to write.
Huge trouble? While there is an economical slowing in the oil patch, exactly as expected, the government most recently posted a surplus.

Canada is a bit odd relative to oil given that a pretty large contingent of Canadians are really on the fence about exporting fossil fuels. Even in Alberta, the province where most of the oil action happens, the provincial government was recently taken over by a party that you could almost call anti-oil (to the limits of pragmatism).
This comment has two parts - the first one I think deserves more attention. When your program can actively and randomly rot while it's in in production, the only valid recovery method really is "power cycling" the application. As the OS is also being affected by this rot, power cycling the OS is a valid solution to many problems as well.

The push for making broad use of consumer hardware running production environments to save (a veritable fistfull of) money has only made this problem worse.

It makes me wonder if we shouldn't be adding a module to the Linux kernel to occasionally reload blocks of code from disk.
In your experience, what makes a Chromebook break? My two daughters love their Chromebooks but they both cracked their screens. I suspect one was picked up by the lid, which you can do with a tablet but not a laptop. I ended up replacing them both for about $40-$45 from Amazon or eBay.

Replacement screens were pretty easy to put in, though I got impatient and yanked on the cable. Then I had to order a replacement cable. But those are relatively easy to come by as people take the parts from seriously broken Chromebooks and put them on eBay. Buying the Acer C720 line means tons of parts readily available. Not sure about other models or manufacturers.
The status quo is that random business acquaintances and whoever gets automatically added to contact lists via some vulnerability (just wait, it'll happen) do not have my wifi password. Not on their machine, not to share, not access at all. I like it that way. We have something-guest as a SSID for a reason, after all.
The first one is still flawed:
+(1 2 3 4 5) or even better +[1 2 3 4 5] would be better IMHO as it visually separates the function from the arguments.
The thing is what now? Using Linux everyday is atleast problematic, sometimes impossible (I've had like 20 distros and played with it a lot, used it in my job, etc.) cause of apps/drivers/etc.
And what about phones? When iOS/Android/WP is a mobile botnet node what should I use? A 3310 Nokia? Is there any viable alernative? Is iOS/Apple the same vultures as Google/MS when it comes to privacy?
It's well known that Android has also abandoned many of the principles of user freedom behind the rest of the Linux ecosystem and similar communities.
I also recommend this. Opened my eyes up to using VAs (Virtual Assistants) to help do things you probably shouldn't be working on.

Yes, private trackers. These private trackers can only be accessed if you have an account on their website, where you then download the .torrent files.
I would point out that Windows programs written for different versions of the OS will appear different when running on the same machine. For instance, in my Windows 7 VM, LibreOffice has a white X on a red button to close the window, while Word has a black X on a grey background.
In addition I've installed glasswire to check the network activities.

How do you know glasswire sees all network activity? What about data that piggybacks on legitimate network activity (e.g. the requests to update.microsoft.com)?

Sure but chances are that 90% of the users don't know how to do it. Also it's a good warning for the users. It's primarily not for protecting the torrent site but for protecting the users anyway.

Are you kidding me? If you're a full-stack developer, then try opening Android Studio & PyCharm IDE at the same time, and after approx. 1 hour, things just get horrible. Everything is stuck.

The definitive LaTeX thesis template gets a major update
So how would you write that message? The big part of the statement was skipped by you:

> I think you should make more friends that are women so that you can talk to them about the way they view relationships.

Which definitely doesn't sound near to "hey, you're fat."

And that "fat-like" part is also in fact different:

"It sounds like you're pretty bitter (...)" -- note that it discusses the impression of the written comment not the person.

Btw I don't think it's OK to remove your claim that roymurdock's response was "mean" as the responses then lose the context, maybe deleting the comment would be more appropriate?

>>I've deactivated all reporting and services that call back home (at least which I was aware of). In addition I've installed glasswire to check the network activities.

I'm going to recommend to you, or anyone, wanting to verify Windows 10 network behavior to do it without depending on software running on the OS itself. Try verifying it again using network analyzing software on linux or macosx, running downstream of your network setup. e.g., a router that's running linux you can ssh into and run "ngrep"(kinda like a commandline version of wiresahrk) and verify from there.
Sure, as if we didn't had it already in Android and Ubuntu distributions.
JavaScript, GROW UP
I'm not trying to be mean. I'm pushing OP to reflect on why he holds some of the viewpoints that he does.

I'm also not trying to imply that OP does not have enough friends. Just that he might get a broader picture of women in general if he had more female friends.

I read your edited comment about how that made you sad. A lot of things on HN make me sad - there are many unnecessarily mean, rude, snarky comments posted here with amazing regularity. I try to make helpful comments without putting others down. I'm sorry if my comment came off in a negative manner. I'm not trying to add to the general negativity of the site.
My daughter lost a morning's work because she didn't save her composition in Microsoft Word (I think) on a MacBook. She's used to Google Docs automatically saving everything for her on her Chromebook.

I'm sure that Microsoft Word can be set to automatically save but somebody probably has to do that. And the school might have disabled it because the kids are sharing the MacBooks and still using thumb drives.
> Nothing about Linux on the desktop "works fine". It's horrible.

I disagree. MS-DOS "works fine", and had many users. I would say that on average, UIs on Linux (both commandline and GUI) are better than those on MS-DOS, hence Linux UIs also work fine.

I wouldn't claim that the average Linux UI is great, or follows any HCI guidelines, or whatever. What I would claim is that it doesn't matter; all that matters is that it's possible to get the job done. Just like it was possible to get the job done on MS-DOS.

Regarding the XKCD reference, I think that's covered in the parent's statement "if you come over, then all the desktop software makers will port their software to Linux". Those kinds of distinctions make it all too easy to move the goalposts; eg. "Linux is useless because it doesn't run MyProprietaryApp(TM)".

Without any disrespect to the author, why don't we all just start thinking for ourselves when it comes to our health, rather than being told contradictory information every 3 years by mainstream media?

One minute it's best to eat ice cream for breakfast; the next minute we shouldn't eat any carbs at all; then we should start drinking red wine every day; then more water; then less water, etc. It's as if we're just a big experiment or some sort of inside joke to the mainstream media.
Thanks for introducing me to boto3. Being able to write compact and powerful stuff like:

...is pretty awsesome!

Introducing IBM LinuxONE: Linux Without Limits
> Starting a company is more about people and relationships than almost any other task in life, and it's much easier when it's something you enjoy and can do naturally

Introverts care A LOT about people and relationships. They are choosy about who they spend time with. Keeping the right people around you, at the start of a company, seems like a good strategy to me.
Yep! And believe it or not, you can do a ton in the browser. Aside from heavy duty programmers and creatives, most people can do everything they need to in the browser. Pretty exciting, isn't it?
> Usually made by windows users

I used to make this claim as someone who had been using desktop gnu/linux for several years. I've been using OSX now for a year and so stopped making the claim. But it is really frustrating to hear people say "it works for me" to rebut claims that it doesn't work for most people. Such counters and arguments over them are basically single data points. If the point under discussion is "does desktop linux work well enough to gain massive amounts of market share?", then you need to run actual large scale trials comparing how hard it is for people to...

1) Start up a spreadsheet program and do things

2) Check social media and play some random video

3) Play League of Legends

4) <insert your favorite thing here>

Some of these things are indeed comparably easy in, say Ubuntu (or were pre-unity) for me, but I was an MIT undergrad that hung around SIPB, the computer club. My massive amounts of tech privilege make it impossible to individually evaluate if the user experience someone has with spreadsheets is acceptable unless I put real study into it. The same is probably true of many HN commenters. So until someone spends the time and money to run actual user experience studies, we have no data to say that the linux desktop can take over the world.

Also, there isn't even one "Linux desktop". There is mint, Ubuntu+gnome classic, Ubuntu+unity, ubuntu+some weird xmonad setup.

Another argument I often see for why Desktop Linux has an advantage is that "Linux is free as in beer". But it is not. If someone making $15/hr takes more than 8 hours (not unrealistic, at least for an MIT CS student back in 2010) fiddling with things and trying to get them to work, then desktop Linux is more expensive.
That is the beauty of science, no matter what I want to do I can find some study supporting it!

The scandals this data leakage reveal are way too tantalizing for anyone to care how it all happened to begin with. Most of the twitter posts have applied their morals/ethics/whatever, replaced the word "hackers" with "karma" and are happy this happened.
Or perhaps there are alternative explanations(?): Women don't care enough to check if they were exposed; less women are aware of the breach; men aren't paranoid enough to check up on their women; men don't care as much that their wife/spouse/gf may or may not have been on there at some point (or currently) and could have been/is cheating; perhaps there were even some couples that were into that together. [Not saying that I believe any of these are true statements, just that one could draw some odd conclusions from what isn't being said, just as easily as what is being said]

It's funny that there seems to be an assumption that most were either men checking about themselves or paranoid/untrusting spouses checking on the status of their men. From the information that's being reported, there seems to be remarkably few men checking up on their women...

Not sure if that's a valid observation, but it's an interesting one that is telling of the mental/emotional differences between men and women on the whole.

Who knows, people are a weird bunch. The more you know about them, the more you realize that all this shit that goes on behind closed doors that people judge in public eventually leaks and then when you analyze enough data about the state of humanity, appears to be "completely normal behaviour"... Then when everyone realizes it's completely normal behaviour they're like "okay then, perhaps we should just change the rules so that we can all stop hiding and be publically equal and love who we are in public again."

We're all human, we all fuck up from time to time and we all get caught in embarrassing moments where we hope the ground would open up and swallow us occasionally. Perhaps not in ways that get leaked all over the internet, or to be used as blackmail against us, but it happens.

Given the few women on there (by all accounts), one would have to wonder how many men could actually have ended up cheating with anyone... from the sound of things, all the female accounts were either fake or sex professionals... so who were all these millions of men cheating with?

Microsoft weren't an adopter at all, that isn't what PRISM is. PRISM is the theft of unencrypted data on dedicated lines between data centers.

No, the claim was that Snowden revealed some Windows issue. That hasn't been shown. PRISM has absolutely nothing to do with Windows at all.

Where is this Snowden-Windows smoking gun? I haven't seen it.

You have to be careful there though. When it comes to computer software even perfect code can require a restart if different code on the same machine is interfering with it. The story has gotten much better but even now occasionally I'll have a reboot a Game or 3D visualization app because the graphics driver got wedged. It's not the applications fault it's the drivers fault.

The reason power cycling is such a useful tool is that most computer systems are running in an environment where the things outside of it's control way outnumber the things within it's control.
