This is not accidental, probably, because it was happened before a lot of times. And we are talking here of historical remainings from 3000-6000 years age. Afganisthan buddas by comparison were carved in the 6th century.

I don't have the knowledge to support or contest anything except your last sentence. yum's UI is the only thing I like more than apt-get. But yum doesn't have the concept of depends vs. recommends, so installing nginx, for example, REQUIRES pulling down geo-IP libraries that are entirely unnecessary.

If Quicksort worst case performance is a problem then use Introsort (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introsort), which the paper fails to mention.

One downside of this approach is that you don't have as much discrete control over your access patterns.

Retail doesn't mean amateur, it means not institutional, not managing money for others. I think the term you're looking for is mom and pop or amateur. Many pro's are retail investors, as are at home day traders or anyone else working with only their own capital; the tools and brokers you use are completely irrelevant to the term. My use of the term retail is standard as a cursory Google search will easily show. If you only invest your own money, you're a retail investor.

Google's own definition:

"A retail investor is an individual who purchases securities for his or her own personal account rather than for an organization. Retail investors typically trade in much smaller amounts than institutional investors such as mutual funds, pensions, or university endowments."

"You need to align your pricing to scale with your costs"

I strongly disagree with that. You should align your pricing with the value the user receives. To do this optimally, you need to have a good grasp of who your user is, how much value he receives from the software and how the typical purchasing process looks like. For an early stage company, all these questions may not be answered yet, so it is best to wait and learn what the users do with the product before prematurely optimizing pricing at an early stage.
I have actually applied three times. Each time the business was at a different stage, but the basics were the same: Highly-experienced team, huge market, great product. Our last application was extremely strong, and we didn't even get an interview.

The reality is that YC is skewed towards certain types of products and people. For example, they don't like media or news very much. IMHO they should be more clear about the types of businesses they want. But that's all fine, it's their system, their rules. I just don't want to play the game any more.

I work in digital forensics, and running Volatility against the memory (either online or against a memory dump), helps give a far deeper insight and way higher probability at finding viruses than standard "antivirus" software. You can even find Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and "unidentified" viruses, because what you look for are the mechanisms by which a virus resides in memory: hidden processes, hooks to system calls, spurious DLLs, etc.

Ever since I learned about memory analysis, I have considered almost every antivirus useless. I do have the Windows Defender antivirus active, but if I have a real doubt, I turn to memory analysis just to be sure (still clean luckily!).
Fair point - I was just making an observation really.

(2009) "Quantum biology? Tunneling in enzymes"
Over the past two decades the possibility of quantum tunneling of protons in enzymes
has attracted considerable attention. (See for example a piece in Nature by Philip Ball (my favourite science writer) or the proceedings of a meeting at the Royal Society

The observed large kinetic isotope effects and their temperature dependence are inconsistent with semi-classical transition state theory,

PS: This post ended with I align myself with the skeptics, but it's hardly a new idea.
I would argue that only covers half the equation. Prices should be congruent with increase in value which in itself is dependent on what is meaningful to the user. Mailchimp is pricing for increase in value as well as users find more meaning in having larger mailing lists (which also happens to increase costs). Optimising purely for costs is not always the most effective and misses vital opportunities.
The part about the file format is quite true but it's not the only thing to compare since there are so many features in either runtime and Flash has been used for so many different things. The most relevant example here was the way Adobe made only half-hearted attempts to optimize video playback, which is where I saw the battery life discussion really get started as more people noticed that playing H.264 video back in Flash took an entire CPU core and still dropped frames while playing the same file in <video> or the Windows/OS X media frameworks took less than 10% for perfect playback.
This. I can't believe how arrogant the community is, especially against first time posters. 9/10's of the time, you will get some part of their policy wrong prior to posting. Also, they flag things as repeats very often for being related but not the same. I have never desired to post there ever again after the sny comments I've received from the management.
I remember, at uni, in the second semester, we had an assignment to specifically craft a sequence of n numbers 1..n that would trigger the worst case (#permutations) in a quicksort algorithm that always takes the first number in the array as the pivot. It was a nightmare. I spent days on it, and I was barely able to scrape together a notation to specify such a series. Turns out the sample solutions were like "The appropriate sequence is not easy to write. The sequence must be designed such that every chosen pivot halves the area that will be stored." Well, yeah.

EDIT: I wrote worst case #permutations. That's the best case #comparisons. So, no, I don't mean a sorted sequence ;)
Some thoughts on documentation
Any "solution" that involves everybody exercising perfect self control or personal responsibility is useless, even if it's technically true that it would solve the problem.

People simply don't work that way. You can't wish self control into existence just by saying it would be useful. It's like saying, "We wouldn't need lower shelves if everyone was over 6ft tall."

Trick for coordinating Dropbox collaborations
I agree with this, but sometimes this is due to outside factors as well. Right now on my main laptop I am running Ubuntu, but the main reason is it's a Macbook Pro 2014 and Ubuntu was the only distro that just worked. Fedora 22 beta/OpenSuse came a close second, and Arch had some weird wifi issues I didn't want to spend two weeks digging into to fix.
Worst thing they could have done. Now is the time to rally, not capitulate.

It seems the revelation there are no women on AM is far worse business-wise than the security breach (Maybe not legally). How can you go on as a business if your business model has been exposed as totally fake ?

I would also add, that by extension, there is no reason than competitors like gleeden.com have a different men/women split.
Will it be loved by a tiny few and ignored by the world?

I think that's the most likely outcome. There are always millions of books around the world residing in libraries, which are unused for long periods of time. Likewise, these manuals will just become another collection in the archive for someone to (hopefully) eventually find. In fact I'd say that's the purpose of an archive - not to provide the most popular content, but to collect as much information as possible to preserve for those seeking it.
I believe the meaning there is that even if something didn't start on 4chan, it would typically reach a mass audience through 4chan.

In other words, most of the sharing was dependent on 4chan quickly picking it up and spreading it.

It's fairly obvious that things like pedestrian detection systems with automatic braking, lane departure warnings, tiredness detection, etc. will make a significant difference as they become widespread. These exist in production today and similar technologies are in active development and deployment.

There is no reason to believe that human driven cars can't be made safe through technology without requiring self-driving. There may be other benefits to self-driving cars that are desirable, but as I said, the road deaths argument is clearly just fear mongering based on the false idea that other technological safety measures are not being developed.

As for costs and numbers - those certainly aren't provided by self driving car advocates, who can't even say when the technology will be available or how basic legal and economic problems it presents will be overcome.

Until recently Docker was far more interested in being an open implementation of a closed standard rather than an open (or closed) implementation of an open standard.

Docker was/is trying to be the only linux container, and creating their own non-standard container library was just one component of that strategy.

I'm a newbie here, so not sure if this is the best way, but I recently implemented authentication in AngularJS/Express/Node app using passport.js and JWT on each request.

Sorry I don't have a write up, but here are some of the tutorials I followed

authentication-in-angularjs-applications-7bbf0346acec

2. https://scotch.io/tutorials/authenticate-a-node-js-api-with-...

3. https://scotch.io/tutorials/the-ins-and-outs-of-token-based-... <- This one is good as it gives you an idea of JWT and if it makes sense to use it in your project.

Does it matter? What's at stake here is the manifesto being pinpointed at web design. If, whoever decides, decided that he should sacrifice UX for ads/tracking/whatever, then either he did it knowingly or unknowingly (so, a problem of competence). Either way, it's not solved by being against web design, it's solved by being against incompetence - in web design, in UX, in product decisions, whatever.

How can you blame "web designing" if someone decides that intrusive ads outweigh the UX cons or if someone doesn't even consider said cons? That's my point here - this is not a matter of web design, being anti-web design is misguided and futile. The problem is not web design, the problem is: frivolous or oblivious decision-making, lack of knowledge and consideration about whoever uses the digital product being designed, lack of knowledge about design process, lack of knowledge about design "elements" (layout, color, typography), lack of knowledge of the implications of using extensive e.g. JS...

Just the mere fact of people downvoting you for what you wrote validates what you've said:

I agree with you 100%. After reading so much social media which is designed to increase one's professional reputation, ego and social status like facebook and HN (as well as main stream news about celebrities and politicians), it's grounding and humanizing to go to a place like /b/ where you can't maintain a reputation. You can actually be honest and get an honest human response.

This was one of moot's main reasons for keeping it going. I chat there with suicidal people, people afraid to go to doctors, people abused and neglected by their parents, people trying drugs, people seeking spirituality, homosexuals from small towns, all afraid to speak up in public, their doctors, their schools.

I hate the racism there. The sexism is not great. I especially the deplore the animal torture. But even real-life socializing isn't as intimate and bold as anonymous socializing. And what people need to remember is that a .gif of a scumbag who rigged a clothesline to drown a dog every time it moves is just a picture. The disgusting act has already been done. Moreover, these images are evidence that bad things happen and we can feel justified in doing something about them in real-life instead of only acting on fear.

I need to look past all of that crap in order to have actual human connections I can't get in real life or online. And so do the people on the other end of my connections. Because mainstream social life has failed us.

When I said you can't maintain a reputation on /b/, though, there are some workarounds: People create labels for their groups like gamergate and anonymous that leak out into the rest of the world. There are plenty of those people who obviously aren't satisfied to have intimate, anonymous conversation and have bigger axes to grind. They wreck the environment and as the saying goes, "This is why we can't have nice things." I could see all of that being too damn much of a toll to take on moot, and I don't require of him that he maintain any particular ideals. I also heard other things, but who knows.

> people will just try to ban/downvote you into oblivion instead of discussing anything

Yes, especially on HN and reddit, voting is not used to eliminate spam and off-topic, but to indicate consensus values and idols. So even if you're right, if you don't validate the hivemind, you get downvoted. You could tell the world the Earth is round during the dark ages and get downvoted. If you're a recognizable name on HN, you instantly get upvoted. It's the same chickenshit conformity that creates the capitalistic hierarchy in mainstream social life.
Except for foreigners. But really among local people I think it is less than 1% using UBER. Which is my definition of "nobody".
Agreed. In America, people don't self-censor out of rational fear that the government will take them away in a black van in the middle of the night. People self-censor out of rational fear that they'll lose their jobs.

Sometimes I get the feeling that, although good in theory, that dedication to keeping alive old code is also a big source of cruft and bugs in Windows. They didn't drop 16 bit support until Windows Vista! I mean, was there aby big chance of a 286 running Windows XP?

I know, old (DOS-era) systems were being run inside WinXP, but having DOSbox take care of that was a way better solution -- which is what happened with those systems once they lost support from the OS.
I'd say it's actually easier to integrate exception-less code to the exception-enabled codebase, than the opposite direction.
Tbf, the worst thing they probably could have done is run a scam business model then get exposed in one of the highest profile hacks in years. This is just icing on the cake.

Entirely agree with you. That is the singular area that dpkg used to beat rpm as a format. That isn't a feature of apt-get or yum, but of the underlying package format.

Look people, you need to understand something. The British pioneered this in the Opium Wars (1 and 2).

As far as the CIA/DEA go, they are some of the biggest drug and gun runners around. Does anyone remember Iran Contra? When you are an agency that congress is supposed to have financial oversight on, following the money can reveal things you don't want revealed. What you want is to find a way to make money off the books, so you need a black market. If there isn't one, you create it. Then you operate it, run a few stings against competition if they get too powerful, and suddenly you have a huge black bag money coffer. No oversight! Yay for unaccountability!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is a Company man behind every other cartel man.

Afghanistan and the new heroin epidemic is a perfect recent example. Opium production was almost nill until we invaded, and suddenly even with the country occupied most of the heroin in Us cities is from Afghanistan? It's just Vietnam on repeat...

Ask HN: What's the best ad-blocking, privacy-enhancing extension set up?
There are a bunch of privacy enhancing and ad-blocking extensions out there, but it's impossible to figure out where their features are unique and where they overlap. Of course, too much overlap, and they start slowing down your browser.

My goal is to make my browser as private as possible with minimal damage to my usual browsing experience. For example:

- LSO and Flash: Blocked.
- As many third party cookies blocked as possible without breakage.
- JavaScript works most of the time?
- Ads are blocked
- Various forms of fingerprinting are blocked/disabled
- HTTPS is used as much as possible
- etc.

I'm currently using Privacy Badger + uBlock Origin + HTTPS Everywhere. It feels like a lot already, but there's also Ghostery, RequestPolicy, and a million others.
