Thanks for the feedback. I thought about using "endless scroll" behavior instead of requiring a click. I'm going to rethink how I'm showing the posts. I see what you mean about requiring a click, that can be annoying. My first thought was mobile performance which is why I knew I didn't want to just throw all 400+ posts on the page.

As for that bug with resetting your positiong, I was able to reproduce it when a new post was added to the live thread. I've pushed an update that should fix that.

I'm as anti-PC as they come. However, I'm not about to ignore the real problems when they show up. This is one of them. The pattern you describe results in systematic alienation of a huge chunk of our population, all kinds of social problems (including crime), and more practically a loss to both the companies and our country when we ignore our potential, top performers. The Navy example cited showed the women were outperforming the men left and right but the bias prevented them from moving up. Had more moved up before, the Navy would've possibly been more effective across the board and would continue as their judgement applied to the next group of candidates.

Every study I looked at on diversity in the workplace showed positive results from the more diverse workplaces. Let's not hypothesize as you did when there's real examples to draw on. In tech, the workplaces of larger companies that are rated best for women specifically include Facebook, Google, Qualcomm, Intel, Texas Instruments, Apple, and Microsoft. Know what they have in common? They own entire markets with massive bankrolls and constant adaptation despite highly-competitive markets that bankrupt many other firms. Might blow your mind that using the best talent rather than just white, males translates to better business decisions, better tech, more money, a healthier economy, and so on. It's why the Nordic countries voluntarily did quotas in high-level business and government positions when they saw the same problem. They don't need quotas now that things are more even and the results were similarly good.

Now, back to your made-up example. The most successful, innovative Asian companies open up operations in many countries hiring locals for operations, marketing, and R&D. They mix talent and ideas from all of them. They also acquire foreign companies for their I.P. and talent. The result: they make billions dominating markets. Toyota, Samsung, and Fujitsu come to mind. On other hand, there are companies like your all-Asian, male firm that avoids all other types: they're called factories and service firms that barely make it to No 4 in their non-innovative industries. In America, we should aim a bit higher and not be left behind by foreign competition. Starting in Silicon Valley...
Wait until you figure out how redemption machines (those games that pay out tickets which you redeem for prizes) are set.

Almost every state that allows casino gaming sets minimum payback percentages for their slot machines. Only a handful of states require minimum payouts for arcade redemption machines. I've seen machines set to pay back 10% on the dollar.

Some machines will even adjust the outcome of the game to ensure the payout setting is averaged correctly.

The entire point of my system is that I don't need to care which copy is good. If it scrubs and detects any error, I'll mount disks independently as two filesystems, and diff the contents. I'll then restore corrupted data from backup.

Yes, a checksumming filesystem would be better, but at the time of creation (and even now?) none of the filesystem choices were mature, or proven to be sufficiently reliable. Ext4 and software RAID1 are both mature and proven reliable.
But my Godaddy rep provided his contact info and was happy to speak to PayPal on behalf of myself and Godaddy. PayPal actually said they didn't need to speak to Godaddy because the documents provided by the seller were authentic.

PayPal's buyer protection is supposed to protect against items that are "significantly not as described" which this clearly was. So yes, in that respect and by PayPal's own stated guidelines, it is fraud.
Step 1: Reduce aggregate demand enough (e.g. by slashing government spending like Greece has done) and

Ask HN: Do you attend Hackathons?
I spent another weekend in a Hackathon (T-Hack 2015 at Sao Paulo). Just like a real marathon, I don't run to win, finishing one is already a victory.

What saddens me is seeing this kind of event putting off real hackers (some friends stop attending because of this) by weighting too much on the "business" side of the project.

There are already plenty event formats like StartupWeekends, DemoDays and other pitch contests for the hustlers among us.

I'm guilty of that as well, I helped organizing the FIESP Hackathon this year (probably the biggest one in Latin-america with 200 contestants) and I don't think the better hack won.

Do you attend Hackathons? Do you feel most events are more Hustlathons than Hackathons and what can we organizers do in order to amend the situation?
That isn't fair to PayPal, it just processes transactions and in this case, the transaction was done _willingly_ by the account owners.

5. Forced MS to alter software to include IE4 code to prevent DOJ actions, slowing down software.

The threats of the DOJ has forced Microsoft to more fully integrate its browser into its operating system and component software, causing its software to be inoperable without its browser code. This has not been the way Microsoft used to make software and the result is a slower, bulkier product. I blame this degradation in Microsoft’s quality directly on Netscape.

FTFY

It baffles me that people actually do this. Passwords and secrets DO NOT BELONG THERE. Even your 'if he simply checked the repo' statement is in my view completely crazy. No you should not have to worry about that, because that should not be there at all. Leaking your source-code should not result in a system-breach at any point.
It's remarkable that they decided to keep the commercial offering.
Traders arguably add value by adding liquidity and assisting with price discovery. Arbitrageurs do the latter by definition.

Though, these are fairly complex financial concepts, so it's easy for people to jump to the conclusion that large swaths of the financial industry are worthless. (Of course, some are, but many are not)

I never said I was a squatter, and I'm not. I buy domains that are very low value to basically everyone but me, because I know how to drive traffic and monetize it effectively. And I almost exclusively buy new domains (less than 0.5% of my portfolio is pre-owned domains). shop.com would have been a VERY unusual purchase for me, I've only bought a domain for more than registration costs once before and it was also $500 (though that transaction went flawlessly).

I was asking if Nest can observe and respond to that data, which it looks like it still cannot.
When people are competing on price, the products are fungible...one scheduling app is as good as another. When competing on price against pencil and paper then you'll probably need to pay your customers, since

paper + pencil ≅ $0.00

There once was a Steve Martin bit about doing one show for 1000 people for $1000 a ticket [or something like that] and then retiring. 20 restaurants at $50 a month would get you to $1000. Supporting those 20 customers will almost certainly be less effort than 50 customers @ $20/month.

That said, I suspect the reason scheduling wait staff is such a mess is that wait staff are people and hence unpredictable, unreliable, opinionated and moody. On top of that, the ideal scheduling solution from the scheduler's point of view is almost certainly an automatic tool, but that requires all those people on the wait staff to enter accurate information...and the odds of that happening in the average ten staff restaurant that's looking for a solution is probably zero.

Finally, it is probably the case that scheduling by paper and pencil or excel requires zero cash directly. The manager is on salary and does the scheduling in slack times and Excel is already a sunk cost. Again, even a $10/month SAAS is competing with zero.

Good luck.
Yeah, that was odd, I wonder if it was some kind of elaborate typo. Heap allocation is much worse in C than in Go because you're responsible for freeing everything you heap allocate.

There are only a few good reasons to heap allocate in C:

You're writing a library and want to be able to add fields to your data structures without breaking ABI compatibility.

You need to return dynamically sized chunk of data, whose length can't be known to the caller ahead of time, like a string. Still consider returning it by writing to a statically sized buffer passed as an argument, piecewise, as in read().

You need a growable buffer. Still consider allocating a reasonable maximum sized buffer and BOUNDS CHECKING.

Some library requires you to dynamically allocate to use its API. Oh well.

You want to maintain API consistency and that requires dynamically allocating something that doesn't strictly need to be.

Don't be dogmatic, but stack allocation, and occaisionally static allocation are much more maintainable than dynamic allocation.
Your argument is pointless. Assume that someone who was not aware that shop.com should never be available for $500 made the purchase. They deserve to be scammed? No.

The entire reason Paypal exists as a Third-Party payment processor is to ensure fairness on both sides. They failed.
> There's a difference between blocking a customer's access to external services, and blocking an outgoing web server port like 80 or 443.

There's obviously a difference.

It is less obviously a relevant difference in regards to the FCC's Open Internet rules.

> The terms of use of your residential internet contract most likely prohibits using your connection in a "commercial" manner (running a full scale web server) out of your home.

To the extent that they purport to limit your right to use applications, devices, etc. that are not themselves unlawful on that connection, such provisions would appear to be in direct violation of FCC Open Internet regulations, which is probably among the reasons the ISPs with such rules also generally opposed the FCC adopting those regulations.
Not only would "selling your data" as opposed to access to you or a per click basis be a less profitable business model, it'd also be strictly illegal in many jurisdictions without explicit opt-in permission.
[FREE Kindle Book] Using Periscope for Business (Free Until Saturday)
I haven't found that to be necessarily true. Sometimes I procrastinate over things that I actually WANT to do. More generally I'd say I procrastinate over doing things that don't reward me in the short term. For example if I want to practice a difficult piano piece, the short term result is it sounds awful because I haven't mastered it yet, so I avoid starting even though the long term reward is that I have an impressive piece in my repertoire, which will be fun to play from then on (and I would no longer avoid playing it!). It's an irrational process and I'm still trying to figure it out.

There are 2 amazing things about this article:
1. It was written a while ago, and the general description of the country and its problems are just as true.
2. This quote: "In the eastern section of India, there is a company called Bengal Fertilizer, which was built in the early nineties. The government spent $1.2 billion on it and it took seven years to complete. It now employs 1550 people with complete work schedules, vacations, canteens, unions, etc. And yet they have never produced an ounce of fertilizer."

A good piece of writing - quite critical about the country, but also comes from a place of affection for the country.

>> What does Z-ordering mean in this context?

You divide the image into quarters and store each quarter as a continuous block of memory. Do this recursively.

Normally we'd index into the pixel data using pixel[x,y]. You can get Z-ordering by using pixel[interleave(x,y)] where the function interleave(x,y) interleaves the bits of the two parameters.

This works fantastically well when the image is a square power of two, and gets terrible when it's one pixel high and really wide. I think a combination of using square tiles where each one is Z-ordered is probably a useful combination.

For my ray tracer I use a single counter to scan all the pixels in an image. I feed the counter into a "deinterleave" function to split it into an X and Y coordinate before shooting a ray. That way the image is rendered in Z-order. That means better cache behavior from ray to ray and resulted in a 7-9 percent speedup from just this one thing.

Once you have data coherence, swapping is not a big deal either in applications where you're zoomed in.

On violent taxation: when you don't pay your taxes, eventually someone with a gun comes to take your freedom (prison for tax evasion). So the threat of violence is always held over the head of the taxpayer. Taken a step further, the primary relationship of a government to its people is the threat of violence for not following the laws.

Please don't let your observation of present society confuse your ideas about a free society: The poor use the violence of the government to take money from others and give it to them via social programs. The business subsidies are a form of government privilege that is a corruption of free markets in which the rich use the violence of government against competitors.

Free market thinkers challenge the assumption that government should be granted a monopoly on force but rather there should be competition in all areas of society. As it stands, we see abuse of power in the courts, police, legislatures, and bureaucracy, all for the enrichment of those who have a legal monopoly on force.
We have two groups -- entrepreneurs with money and entrepreneurs without money.

They are part of an overall group -- entrepreneurs.

Picture them as bacteria in a petri dish.

The article simply says that entrepreneurs with money tend to survive longer (by having the freedom to take the risks that allows that survival) in addition to this group entering the petri dish more often because people tend to have a pretty good understanding for their appetite for risk -- an appetite largely dependent on their built in food supply -- available cash. It is not saying that people without money cannot become entrepreneurs or are not good entrepreneurs, just that the petri dish population tends to be covered more by those species that have advantages than those that don't.

Those theoretical models have held up to quite a bit of empirical scrutiny, and almost perfectly so in highly competitive markets like crops, energy (production, not distribution), housing, etc. I would say that the models have remained simplistic because economists have been trained to recognize the conditions when the theoretical models break down.

Competition (or lack of it) is absolutely the number one area where the simplistic models break down, with psychological phenomena being a close second. Even where there is demonstrated and measured irrationality in individual decisions though, in aggregate the distortion effects tend to be minimized.

Outside of these known areas of completixity and modeling deficiency, there have been several major breakthroughs in modeling and understanding other seemingly puzzling factors. Matching problems, search frictions, moral repugnance, game theory, asymmetric information, and discrete choices. There have been huge advances since the 1950's, it just takes some time to catch up with it all.

Its not Keynesian theory but basic economics. Imagine demand for labor dropped, and supply stayed the same.(demand shifted to the left) Assuming that labor demand is downward sloping this would mean price and quantity demanded would both fall.
