>Academia.

Do you mean as staff or as a tenured professor? Otherwise this is not true at the different universities I've worked for. Staff still file for time off in a unified HR system. Staff have to file with FMLA or whatever when those situations come up. The submitter would be ordered to a joint meeting with an HR staffer and their direct report. Both will repeat over and over again they want to help and then send the employee to the Employee Assistance Program that various colleges have, etc. It is absolutely not a place you could just take off for a week. Even if your boss was cool (most are, it is academia) the CPAs and HRs in the other buildings aren't as cool.
This was such a thorn in my side back in the day. So many unnecessary trips down to the server room to kick over someone's box that was hung.

Windows 10 Being blocked by BitTorrent community
You can still run 16 bit applications on Windows 7|8|10, as long as you use the x86 (i.e. 32 bit) flavor of the OS.
I'm fairly certain that there are still enterprises large and small that depend on running 16 bit code, because replacing it costs money.
For the low-skill stuff, treading dangerous ground. We had four part-time warehouse workers, each approx $11USD/hr.Did the mundane/grunt stuff. They were not poor employees, but they had no skills not easily replaceable, so managers gave little consideration to their joint demands for increased pay and benefits (not unreasonable requests). But the incremental difference of their demands did make it worthwhile for the boss man to block out several weeks of engineering time to automate. My employer now has ONE par-time warehouse worker.

And the result of this was essentially zero stocking error, and I learned pyQT.

Agree on the "bad", the essay is written in a sophomoric style; however, it does have some good ideas. The Anna Karenina example is a good one, demonstrating how, sometimes, "Theory" obscures the pleasures that can be obtained from reading.

And a cursory examination of this comment thread will show that the definition of "retail investor" is fluid both in the wider world and in people's standard usage.

FINRA clearly has a different definition than google. The google definition doesn't seem to hold for high volume professional traders. You yourself said "you're a professional when you're investing other people's money."

Largely it quite simply doesn't matter what definition you describe, but when people say things like "HFT is bad for retail investors" or "Flash crashes on Monday really hurt retail investors" it is important to understand the nuance.

It is also important to understand the context. When you are sitting in an options arcade and a trader says retail investor, they are quite simply NOT referring to themselves, even though by several definitions they are retail investors. When FINRA uses retail investor in their documents they also mean something different than the google definition.

Anyone that buys the argument that we need back doors for encryption to stop crime is an idiot. Crimes were solved before cell phones even existed, proving that backdoors into software are not needed to solve crimes. I'm sure the administration knows better, but they also know how weak most Americans' minds are when it comes to understanding the consequences of national policies. The fact that this is a debate is ridiculous, but not unexpected in the US.

Damn straight it will hurt tech companies, as it should. They should go out of business until they move or their government stops fucking them over, ideally the latter, and the government should be held accountable. We're not talking about mom 'n pop shops here, we're talking about some of the richest companies on earth here. They can lobby for the government to subsidize their losses. They can lobby directly against any legislation proposed. If they're unsuccessful, they pretty much have only themselves to blame, after all their money is what moves politicians, not the other way around.
I'm not sure why you feel you need to be so disingenuous here - you're all over this thread arguing with everyone about Ubuntu being the best.

But I'll bite.

From your several posts, it's become clear you are running an Ubuntu guest as a desktop on top of VMWare. It seems rather silly to pay for a full VMware license to just run some desktops, not to mention hypervisors like VMware and Xen really aren't great at doing just desktop guests.

You make claims that Ubuntu works better "hands down" on VMware than any other distro - which is absurd. It's far more likely you either haven't tried, or did something wrong. The things you point to that are "better" on Ubuntu are virtually (or literally) the same things on other distros, or have zero bearing of whatever distro the guest is (pause and resume are features of the hypervisor, not your distro).

In any event, everything I previously said still holds true. If you need a server, use a server-focused distro.
On the Criteria for Decomposing Systems into Modules suggests we draw boundaries/interfaces where (we think) change is unlikely. Put the parts we think will change within a module, like implementation details.

This becomes pronunced in unit testing, where the tests add yet another dependency on interfaces, this investment making us more reluctant to change them.

If modules follow organizarionsl structure,
what determines the information flows of organizational structure? And could it perhaps be a good model for code?
It's quite true. About ten years ago I came across a system still running dos 3.1, not windows, dos. It controlled a microscope. They withheld upgrading because the licensing was significant for the small subdepts budget and while very antiquated, the system still worked, albeit inefficiently.
It's a bit old, but this gives some nice context and allows you to follow along with your own D compiler:

The problem wasn't just Standard Oil, it was the society around it. A purely free market society would see what the company was doing and close the books at that, but the government has a broader base of concerns. Namely, constituents of oil-producing regions who elected representatives to protect them.

Think of it like Wal-Mart: it may provide jobs and cheaper goods to a community, but the wealth is a net outflow towards the Walton family. Local businesses tend to recirculate their profits within the community through investment and higher spending, resulting in a broader standard of life increase.

Europe as a whole is much more concerned with quality of life than America, so it makes sense to see why they would view Google's homogenization of habit as a potential threat.

I think it's worth considering other societies' values when debating their laws compared to your own. There's a lot that America does right that Europeans want no part of, and vice versa. It really depends on who you are as a person.
For your enjoyment, a screencap of UEFI dumping core on a fancy Dell "server class" machine during bootup:

Work required that I restarted this machine frequently -- it would fault during boot probably 1/20 times.
And yet, the primary use-case for file system encryption is to protect data at rest, from someone with physical access to the disk. It seems odd to draw the line at physical security so arbitrarily -- that you'd be willing to encrypt your entire root file system and then throw your hands in the air when it comes to securing a tiny boot partition.

D happened at the wrong time. It was a better C++ that nobody really asked for at a time when java and C# were the future. When some years later that surprising wave of alternative languages for CLR and the JVM arrived and opened the door wide for other languages as well, D was already stigmatized as the better C++ that did not make it.

I also think that, due to it's early start, D simply fails to appeal to non-C++-developers. The other new native compiled languages, Go and Rust, are not just a new toy for C++ people, but are also seen as long awaited "on metal" opportunities for people from other language backgrounds (python and ruby for go, type-heavy managed languages for rust), who would never touch c++ or, guilty by association, D. This is a much bigger audience than the subset of c++ devs willing to give up their hard-earned mastery of c++. The perceived promise of native for high-level devs might not hold, but this won't help D at all.
Why do you say there's "no particular solution" when the NLRB did offer a particular solution, in the decision linked to by this WaPo article?

Moreover, that solution concerns many issues besides wages, including "employment qualifications, work hours, breaks, productivity standards, staffing levels, work rules and performance, the speed of the lines, [and] dismissal."

As I suggested elsewhere, it seems like the questions you have can easily be answered by the many articles on this topic, including the WaPo article and the primary references. You instead ask other commenters for answers to your questions, which is unlikely to get you far as most HN readers are 1) not here to educate you and 2) not knowledgeable about labor law and practices.

As an example of one of the things which often come up in this discussion, McDonald's in Denmark pays $20/hour. See http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2014/05/15/fight-for-1... or http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/15/global-mcdonalds-pr... or http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/sep/03/... as some of the many articles on the topic. And there are no minimum wage laws in Denmark.

Can explain why it is that McDonald's can make a profit in Denmark while paying $20/hour, but (according to you) can't do so in the US?
This game is a real trip. Thanks, man.
sudo'ing as your day-to-day user is dangerous for another reason, too: the default 15 minute password timeout lets subprocesses in your shell use your sudo credentials, even if you didn't intend them to. e.g. sudo command, then later ./some-installer.sh - you didn't want to give some-installer.sh root, but it opportunistically uses 'sudo' and succeeds.

(I disable credential caching with "Defaults timestamp_timeout=0" in /etc/sudoers.)
> I'd love to see someone open a McDonalds-like fast food restaurant that paid $20 or $25 per hour, plus decent benefits, and make a profit. If it were possible to do, why can't anyone do it?

I can almost see that working as a novelty restaurant. Kind of a trendy, high end fast food place with high quality food and really expensive prices, where you can go and tell your friends it's a good place because they pay decent wages. But it'll never over take Burger King and McDonalds.

People eating at McDonalds want fast and cheap more than they want fair wages for fast food employees.
I guess I mean a tech background from the Internet age. Think Larry and Sergei, Zuckerberg, etc. I mean someone who built a unicorn with skills and smarts, someone who is known for their achievements in tech.

I suppose Carly Fiorina would qualify, although I consider her background more traditional business than tech.

Larry Lessig might also qualify as "from tech," but he's an academic just like many other presidents.
>You changed your point then.

No, I did not and - if you don't mind - I would suggest you spend some more time reading and analysing, instead of skim-reading and assuming my argument matches one of the predefined "boxes" you have. See below:

>If you meant to say that "it has nothing to do with web design" then you should have said that

Well, I did. How explicit do I have to be? I said: "then it's a matter of incompetence, not web design".

> instead of trying to defend "competent web designers"

Defend competent web designers? Again, it's a matter of competence. I defended competence - either from designers, programmers or PMs, "whoever decides" (as I stated, very explicitly).

> as if competence actually had anything to do with it.

As if? This is starting to sound very troll-like behaviour. From the beginning, I made it clear that this was about competence.
Absolutely. I use a password manager for everything except a handful of ultra-critical sites, mostly things involving money or attack vectors to get access to my email. For those sites I don't trust to store in LastPass, I write the passwords down on paper. But I also do something I haven't seen others recommend:

Have a (logical) salt for all of the passwords. Don't write down that salt.

So, if you found my piece of paper with passwords, you might see something like this:

Etrade - I1999IbmfsaaymIwIbmoi

Gmail - D9cjeawfocsIdkwhtfts4r

But my actual passwords are something like this:

Etrade - I1999ibmfsaaymIwibmoi804WMainStreet

Gmail - D9cjeawfocsIdkwhtfts4r804WMainStreet

804WMainStreet is tacked on to the end of all of them, but you wouldn't know that from looking at the sheet of paper. Only my spouse knows the salt, and it's easy for us to remember, e.g., maybe 804WMainStreet is the address of the first place we lived together. In theory, this is reducing randomness, which might make it easier to crack one knowing the others, but I'm not super concerned about that.

The two most important elements of security for regular consumers are:
1) Use different passwords for everything.
2) Use multi-factor auth when available.

Whatever you have to do to achieve that is better than not doing it.

*And I actually use initialism for these passwords so I don't have to pull out the piece of paper often, only when I forget. In this example, the Etrade password might be derived from "In 1999 I bought my first stock as a young man. I wish I bought more of it."

> Think of it like Wal-Mart: it may provide jobs and cheaper goods to a community, but the wealth is a net outflow towards the Walton family

Providing jobs and cheaper goods to the community sounds like it's putting wealth into the pockets of the community to me. If you can buy a gallon of milk for the kids cheaper at Walmart then you can at the corner store, you have extra money for school supplies, medicine, etc.

Show HN: Interactive HTML form builder with box2d physics
It was just a joke, but fair enough lol.

edit: i'd just add that even though it's only a joke, a comment regarding (even if critical of) the language used to write the code is absolutely on topic.
I concur. It is mind blowing. Reminds of a herd being herded into a cage with not many raising their heads asking, is this right?
Many known, but now there is proof :)
1. I got std.experimental.allocator accepted for inclusion. On its basis it's not difficult to build the structures and algorithms necessary for garbage collection.

However, there were two concurrent developments. One is Martin Nowak and others did great work on improving D's existing garbage collector. The other trend is that it became increasingly clear that a category of users will always be weary of a GC, be it for the right or wrong reasons. So the better place to hit is to offer a great experience in D without requiring any garbage collection at all.

2. Mobile is an important area for a language like D. We don't have many experts on team to work on that, but we're looking. One thing I can do soon is to encourage ARM support, which right now works only experimentally and in a science project kind of way.

3. I want to make it possible to use a well-defined subset of the standard library without a GC. (The subset part is for legacy compatibility.)

Ask HN: Payment system for a commission based business model?
Hi,

I'm currently working on a service that will connect consumers and business users, and the consumers can pay the business users for the service they get.

Think of it as the way Uber clients pay Uber drivers through Uber (the money is not transferred directly to the drivers).

The business model is commission based, which means we need to get a percent of the money the client pays to the business user.

Can you recommend a payment system that supports this scenario and possibly an accounting system / service that can take care of the rest?

I'm not even sure how to search for this and what's the terminology being used.

Thanks in advance.
Absolutely! The Pi is very valuable for exactly that. It's just that dosing yourself is a very serious matter, not a hobby.
> "anyone can add someone to the service"

Yes, though it's harder to add someone as a paying member using a card in their name and tied to their address. Based on the stories that have come out, it sounds like there are dates on those payments.

That doesn't necessarily mean everyone was a "cheating jerk", and even if they were, that doesn't necessarily mean a judgmental response is the healthiest response the rest of us can give.
Given statistical (and anecdotal) evidence for Ashley Madison astroturfing their own site, it's not exactly beyond the realms of possibility they're also willing to astroturf the rest of the internet. Plus the editors of the "sex and relationships" section of most media properties probably see fact-checking as lower on the list of their priorities than the newsroom, especially when publishing an account "by Anonymous"

Of course, there are also plenty of real men that would consider "women on there invariably ignore me" to be a far worse admission than "I joined a site to cheat on my wife".

I'm not saying the hypothesis that the hack team manipulated the data to make it look even worse is beyond the realms of possibility, but it's even easier to believe one of the sleaziest sites on the internet knew how to do black-hat PR.
Exonerates? They're guilty just by making an account/spending money in the first place.
