That's good; it means if you make a mistake you can box your way out of it.
It could also be, and I know that this is something of a radical opinion, that being a parent makes (some) people happy? That the long nights and loss of freedom are offset by the moments of pure happiness that a kid brings?

I mean, you appear to have about as much potential for emotion as a broken toaster so this obviously does not apply to you, but the first smile, the first time a baby catches your finger and hangs on to it as if his life depended on it, the many times where you're quite obviously the most important and delightful thing in his life, the feeling that at least for a little while, you're endowed with godlike wisdom and wit to someone else... I'd take all the stress and fear and tiredness of being a new father all over again to experience these.

And I'm not saying that "down the road", I'm a relatively new father, my kid is only 7 months. I realise same might consider this disqualifies me - I might not capable of a rational opinion on the matter, being in the thick of it. In that case yes, sure, if we disregard the opinion of new parents and that of parents that have been parents for too long, being a parent is a horrible, horrible experience that no one should have to endure.
The history of 4chan is always whitewashed/demonised depending on what point you want to make. Moot is not a saint and not the victim he's trying to paint himself to be.

As to 4chan itself, it's a message board - it's the people that used it that have done all these things and if 4chan goes away people will just move to 8chan or other places so all this agonising over whether or not to censor/shut it down is pointless.
Sure, it's deterministic. But in embedded contexts we typically have no malloc either, and often operate in very memory constrained environments. By removing recursion and favoring iteration you know the size of your stack at any given point in program execution. There is no size range that you have to consider (for instance, by limiting recursion to a depth of 20 for a particular algorithm or something). We also have to remember that TCO is not, or historically not, guaranteed in C compilers, the language in question.

So any recursive algorithm using tail-calls would be better implemented as a for/while loop in embedded C contexts, the performance will be similar (should actually be better) and the memory is now constant instead of increasing.

Any recursive algorithms that can't use tail-calls, I'm honestly not thinking of common situations for these in an embedded context. Perhaps traversing certain data structures, but you can probably find a different data structure that will be sufficiently efficient and not require non-tail-calls. Even with sorting, if you have a small, fixed sized array you could implement a sorting network. If it's too large for that to be feasible in code, it's probably still a small enough array that insertion sort is efficient.
The legacy of mediums like Usenet isn't jokes but companies, applications, organisations etc. If you grew up during the heyday of Usenet (or BBSes, IRC, some forums, mailing lists) you had a pretty good chance of going on to do something in computing.
Joke can help people come together but they doesn't form the substance of a culture. I guess people from 4chan could go on and be the next generation of marketers or something, but I doubt it.
You see, you've stepped onto the ground rich with history and connotations. Growing up I saw in newspapers photos of children with flippers instead of legs. I've heard kids being called "Chernobyl kid" on streets by other kids. "Chernobyl kid" as in insult meant "damaged kid".

More generally term "Chernobyl kid" means (or used to mean) something very specific: person who was affected by radiation in a way which caused mutations. For mutations to be caused, radiation exposure needs to happen during prenatal development. Just being displaced with your family to other region does not make you a Chernobyl kid. That's why I mentioned wrong generation.

We are talking about boxers who have exceptional physical characteristics. When you talk about Chernobyl in this context, things like antagonist "Rocky IV" pop into mind. Juiced on chems. Or a mutant.

Calling a world champion a mutant is an insult. He has made it to the top thanks to hard work, talent, and smart management.

I'm embarrassed about the comments that are mention that this is something is happening "just now" and annoyed about the article giving credit just to the government.

The issue for most Bolivians is simple. Coca is not cocaine, for other is a more complex and is also related with bad economic incentives also a long history of an absent government in poor regions.

In all cases La DEA was always pretentious, bad managed, with several news about prepotency and abuse. However that was not the main case to Bolivians to start despise them, it was about his media message about Coca about being essentially evil that chocks most of us, in the 80` and 90` that was so subtle, sometimes clear. (Our American President say "Coca is cocaine") Months before I saw in newspapers "USA University leads chewing coca to bad digestion in long term consumption" ... This attempts to change a core cultural aspect was the main fuel for all social movements those years, and the current government is just result of one of this movements. The main misunderstanding from foreigners about social and politics in Bolivia is that they "feel" there is just one movement, one thought and that is represented by the current government; people still marches in the street, block avenues, shouts in the media and are not the opposition are indigenous movements that are looking for the same goals that the government but don't agree on the methods.

Anyway, here is a music video with most of the common Bolivian arguments about La DEA and Coca:

I would love to browse proper internet described in this manifesto. Too bad that noone will listen to it, and many people are forced to disable JS, disable CSS, etc, just to be able to read articles without much annoyance.
The 20th Century suggested the biggest danger to people is their own governments, which killed a bare minimum of 100 million of their own (my personal estimate, for countries that are still occupied by hostile governments and therefore their killing fields are yet to be closely examined, is 250 million).

The US has a strong bias towards allowing the people to be well armed, starting with our 2nd Amendment. This certainly has costs, but many of us prefer the tradeoffs.
How does that work against AVs with heuristics?
> Meh. I have encrypted /, /home and swap. I've disabled Secure Boot, and the TPM, and use legacy boot. I don't really trust my laptop manufacturer to get all this stuff right.

if you read the linked article the you will notice that they don't dump AV - they just switched to a "AV" product that does away with the signature database completely and replacing it with heuristics - it also sounds like there is some white listing of processes involved as well.
This is something AV products have been doing for quite some time now.
"Single point of failure" means something very specific. System is told to have SPOF if there is a point, attacking which would cause disruption of operations. 4channers are ultimate benefactors of 4chan. Talking about SPOF in this context does not make much sense.

4channers were angry because moot has replaced all of moderators, totally changing moderation policies on the website. Their ability to pressure moot were and are limited to voting with legs (8chat) and bitching on boards.
Liability. Clinical decisions are made by humans.

Sad thing is, although the software controlling this would undoubtedly have lots of flaws and cause suffering and death, not implementing something also allows people to suffer and die.

Thank you for your brave quest against the stupid CRUD apps that exist everywhere.
If someone has physical access, they can remove my keyboard and install a hardware keylogger anyway. Updating my kernel image wouldn't be very effective given that it gets updated by Arch more often than it gets booted from.
Criticism of advertising
> email address seems pretty vital for any kind of future communication

That's actually a reason many users don't like supplying an e-mail address. They don't want an ongoing relationship with a website, they just want to buy a box of widgets today. What I do in that case is provide a customised e-mail address and then blacklist it after the item arrives.

As for using e-mail address as the account identifier, if you do that please ensure it can be changed everywhere in your system.

I recently moved to a new domain ( cheaper annual renewal ) and whilst Amazon and eBay were painless for changing e-mail address, many other large operators were messy. Tesco, for example, is still sending half of its communications to my old address.

I completely back this up.

I've also never heard of anyone using Uber, though it is an option and I'm sure a few do.

Didi and Kuaidi are by-far the leaders, completely entrenched. I think first-mover advantage will be the case here. The big thing these services are now competing on however is not hailing a ride, it is providing financial services through the app. They're no longer ride-hailing apps, they're finance apps with the option to hail.

[Perhaps a big difference with Uber compared to the US, is the use of it by taxis. Almost all taxis are on Didi/Kuaidi (indeed, these were taxi-only services at the start) and taxis are inexpensive.]
I forget to add the inconsistent icons than the worse UX people will notice.
In my neighborhood there is a carpenter married to a pediatrician, but I have a hard time coming up with more examples. Degrees don't seem to me to mean that much here (the US), unless one knows the school and sometimes the program. Having said that, there is a profound snobbery one finds here and there against the degree-less.

I have been out of the dating market for almost three decades, so I can't tell you. A friend did say that young women he knew regarded marriage as a system of control they didn't care for; but he is my age and I don't know how big his sample is.

Firefox provides the "media.autoplay.enabled" setting, which can be disabled. It's a very difficult setting to implement correctly, but it works most of the time. The larger trouble is that many websites, including YouTube, expect autoplay to work and act slightly wonky when it doesn't.

Edit: Have some bug links

Original reporter suggesting the setting should apply to HTML5 media. Includes a very long discussion of the problem and why it's difficult: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659285

Got it, yeah, quorum systems have higher tolerance to tail latency, there is no question about it. we do mention it briefly in the post, but we don't have numbers to show. I'm not aware of it being a major concern for kafka deployments, but I can say that for Apache BookKeeper, we ended up adding the notion of ack quorums to get around such latency spikes. I'll see if I can gather some more information about kafka that we can share at a later time. Thanks for raising this point.
You actually tend to never use the root password on a modern workstation -- just sudo. The situations where you have to use a root password are usually if something has gone wrong and you have to log in via tty.

What is the underlying model to you that unifies these two cases?

I can't tell whether you're saying

(a) your body learns to become alert when food is going to become available, and to sleep otherwise, or

(b) If you starve yourself, you get really alert for a while, which also enentually tires you out, helping you to go to sleep after that.

Or possibly something else.
URL shorteners are generally frowned upon. The book is not notable - no one has written anything about it. And outside of "Show HN", HN is not a marketing platform.

At the very least take the time to write a thinly veiled native advertising blog post/review. If you give us original content that contains referers (that directly link amazon instead of sleazy shorteners) people usually do not complain about referers.
I think I just witnessed the day Hacker News died. This thread is appalling, much like the article. I'm no Windows apologist, but the article was a ramble about windows 8 with a paragraph tacked on the end, and the comments here are even less relevant.
How much of the difference between those two pages is enshrined in web standards? Are Firefox or Chrome still standards-compliant if they set the default line-height to 1.4? If they bump up the default font-size and change the background colour to a light grey?

I imagine bumping up the margins could be problematic, but I'd say all of the other problems are just browser bugs.

Freedom without responsibilities, perhaps. 4chan evolved into what it is because you could claim to be anything and anyone. The only way you can liken that to democracy is if you have canadians voting on US politics or some such. Meaning that the voters were insulated by time or space from the outcome of their voting.

I don't think you can't make money out of 4Chan. Give this website to Kim Dotcom and you have a few millions a month later. Also ad providers... there are certainly a lot of them who don't care about legal and serious traffic. Think about all the illegal things marketing departments do to get the ad to your browser and your data back. Reading this article I think moot was just too nice a person for what 4chan was.
Yeah I'm using the same strategy, i'd add that you just need to be careful when drawing small polygons because a glitch can cause the ball to cross the line anyways and then it's hard to get it back to where you want it... except if you use the glitches to your advantage ! :)
I think the point was that "Internet culture" is much more than just image memes. Internet culture as a whole has been around as long as the Internet itself and it's constantly evolving, like a living thing. And I'm talking back before the Web; BBSes, Usenet, and e-mail all had their own cultures that stayed around and evolved as the Web was born, and their influence can still be felt today. That's a concept that I feel is lost on anyone born in the 90s or later.
How about representative democracy, where those representatives tend to be connected or rich enough to be shielded from any negative ramifications of how they vote?
That would be because Mint is pretty much Ubuntu (it uses the Ubuntu archives and packages).

3 Things you should be tracking with your analytics software?
... this time

That 'this time' is interesting.

Either you've applied before and you think applying again would be a waste of time, or you think it'd be a waste of time to apply for this particular round of YC.

If it's the former then that's a shame, but it's great that you can admit you've done nothing to fix the issues that caused you to be rejected the first time you applied.

If it's the latter, then you must see the situation changing at some point in the future to mean an application wouldn't be a waste of time. As it's unlikely YC will change their exceptionally successful model, that must mean you're working to change your situation so that an application might be successful. That's very positive. Good luck.

;)
