On my machine, in my home, with my electricity and bandwidth, I'll do anything I like with the bytes that are delivered to me. Don't pretend to tell me what I must do or not do. That's like the salesman with his foot in the door as I try to close it. I have a shotgun at home for that particular problem. I have ad-blockers for the other one.

I buy the sunday paper at the local mart, I dump the ads in the trash before I go out the door. Nobody jumps out and tries to arrest me for that - its my paper, I'll do as I please.

And yes its simple name-calling to say 'thievery' without proving the case, or even attempting to justify it. That word has meaning, and it isn't what's happening. Not going to just take anybody's word for that.

Nicely done! Feedback, since it's a draft: There's a lot of introductory verbiage at the beginning. I wonder if this could be condensed or put off in a sidebar.

On OS X, for some languages at least, if the user has installed additional keyboard input languages, then Command-space may be taken over for switching input language, and thus the instructions for opening a terminal with Spotlight would not work.

Looked through some of the explanations and things such as the walkthrough of Ctrl-C are very well done for true beginner level readers.

Feel free to abstract away the entire shell. The shell is merely a command-driven REPL that interacts with the kernel API, rewrite the shell however you want with an embedded interpreter like how Emacs eshell works (learn one shell, works across every OS Emacs is ported to).

Can also just script shell commands and create levels of abstraction to suit whatever simple layer of abstraction suits you. This is what things like Nautilus File Manager do to manipulate files with a mouse.

how does propagation work? wouldn't a fire travel all the way from a inhabited place to the habitations? do they have some kind of maximal propagation distance?
You're right. I guess it depends on how you look at it. There is so much money in the world; most business/wealthy people would love getting access to a good deal and have no problem paying an x% transaction fee. Once you get past a few $100m in net worth, you can't go looking for deals yourself anymore. Success fees are awesome, because they perfectly align incentives.

As a nerd myself, I had a great mentor who taught me a lot about traditional business. I'm extremely grateful for that. It's really eye opening to talk to someone whose entire business model is based on knowing people, and connecting them. Limited use of e-mail, just a lot of talking on the phone/a lot of sitting in restaurants and bars/meeting new people/going to a lot of "parties".

Wait, so this Russian billionaire wants a $100m property in London and he asked you to look into it, because a mutual friend invited you to one of his parties? You actually found something and just got paid 3% of the property value to handle the deal? That's $3m right there, by knowing the right people. Well, probably more like $1.5-2m, because a billionaire knows how to negotiate. Cool. Oh, and now his buddy wants a pied-à-terre as well, since you put it all together so fast?

Nerds do need to understand that who you know is as important (probably more) than what you know. Plus, they might not have even gotten the meeting without the intro. Yes, solve an interesting problem and you can change the world, but it'll be much easier if you have access to the right people.

I'm not required to do all the research you suggest, because I haven't made a comparative assertion. Most people who live in San Francisco own a car, most people who live in Manhattan do not. So it's not even remotely a fair comparison anyway. It's more expensive and dependent on parking than either Chicago or Los Angeles, but no doubt those cities can't just abandon parking without coming up with an alternative revenue stream.

What makes you choose Hacker News over other sites? (Re-post)
Sorry for the re-post but we're looking for more participants to our survey. We'd appreciate it very much if you can take the time to fill out our 5 minute survey (https://surveys.mcgill.ca/limesurvey/index.php?sid=97446&lang=en&97446X8879X361722=hackernewstwo). You're input is facilitating research into better platforms (in terms of quality-discussions and community inclusivity) for social content. Here's a slightly longer description:

Ok, obviously there's been plenty of talk about different community-driven content sites everywhere. But as a scientist, I'm curious about social dynamics and want to take a sort of census. I don't know if this is considered against the posting rules (It doesn't seem to be), but I'd also like to invite anyone whose interested to take this survey. This survey is part of a study into online social dynamics. We’re trying to understand how people use content aggregation sites, what features affect their use, and what possible issues motivate them to switch between sites. We invite you to help shed light on this important sociological phenomenon by taking a quick approximately 5 minute survey for research purposes about what you like and don’t like about about the content aggregation sites you use. In the long run, we hope the results of this survey will contribute to making the platforms you love even better. It's strictly non-commercial and fully anonymous, and we will publish our findings in a blog post (in addition to academic publication) on our site (http://networkdynamics.org). Go to https://surveys.mcgill.ca/limesurvey/index.php?sid=97446&lang=en&97446X8879X361722=hackernewstwo to learn more about the survey and participate.

Not to mention wasting time that could have actually saved a life. MRI machines are highly expensive and there are always long waiting lists before you can get access to one because those things just don't grow on trees and are a limited resource (number of machines versus number of patients.)

Most doctors know better than to waste a MRI on someone that will not, in any way, benefit from it. Not when there are people with heart abnormalities or potential tumors to diagnose on the waiting list.

Unsurprisingly, the only people who agreed at first to do a MRI for his brother used an open MRI, which are far less precise than the closed ones, and usually reserved for the claustrophobic and morbidly obese. So he didn't take precious MRI time from people who actually needed it.
>On the general CPU side, modern SIMD instruction sets are often geared towards float, and so eight bit calculations don’t offer a massive computational advantage on recent x86 or ARM chips.

This isn't true, modern SIMD instruction sets have tons of operations for smaller fixed point numbers, as used heavily in video codecs. Unless the author meant some sort of weird 8 bit float?

I thought this was fairly common knowledge.

Using a DB PKID is a faster lookup than a text slug and uses much less storage space in the DB.

For SEO / URL permanence reasons, the PKID is always the authoritative key while the slug can be updated to represent the current content of the URL.
This looks pretty cool! Is there any chance you could include an example or two on the website? I clicked on the learn more button and was only presented with a field to enter my email address. It would be helpful to see an example of what I might be getting, before signing up.

Why not vote with your spending power instead? If a small percentage of consumers appear willing to permanently boycott some goods from the participating countries then it would get industries complicating the negotiations.

Obviously moral judgments in medicine can be incredibly difficult, but who's to say that this person's life might not have been drastically altered for the better ("saved") if a MRI scan 20-25 years earlier had revealed the cyst, so that could have been removed? Then the brain might have developed normally.

The point is that the condition is time-dependent because the brain develops most in a child's early years, and scanning early could make a difference.
I think at this stage in the game you owe it to Company A and yourself to pick option C. It's not worth burning bridges, especially in technology, where you never know who you are going to work with next. You made the commitment now stick it out for a minimum of 6 months. If you aren't satisfied with your growth at that point then go and look for other jobs.

In the future, I would recommend not accepting an offer if you have any decisions for other jobs still pending. Once you get the other offer you should be transparent about your situation. It may give you a little bit more leverage for negotiation, or the company might say now or never, but you won't be any worse off for doing so.

Just my 2 cents.
It's annoying when there are countries that have the ability to use it – like NFC is everywhere accepted, but no one has a system that uses it yet – but the US-only solution on HN is presented as "solves all issues, everywhere".

Or, at the point where we are, just put a "US-only" banner at the top. Because that’s the case. Most solutions here could be implemented far more easy in countries across Europe than in the US, but they are implemented in the US, and only the US. Despite demand.

Like Netflix only in 2014 for most of Europe, and then complaining that europeans pirate all the movies.

No, relevant ads based on the content of the page, not based on your browsing behaviour.

Google Ads based on browsing behaviour only try to sell you stuff that you already bought and no longer need. By the point the ad shows you graphics cards, like for me right now, I already bought one. When I was searching for one, the ads were showing me crayola crayons instead.

Make relevant ads based on what the person needs right now. No need for cookies or any tracking.
Very cool!
My company is working on a tile-based board game engine. The thinking is that many tile-based games are so similar, all you should have to do is change the rules for piece-moving and you could start up a server for a new game.

Perhaps even stranger: the HP-12c, a calculator that's effectively unchanged since the early 1980s, continues to sell well at a price higher than the new Amazon tablets. It's not new, doesn't trade on exclusivity, and is easily available second-hand on eBay --- but still sells well brand-new. My old employer bought my first for me, at a cost of about £70 in 2011. It was a great purchase, and repaid itself many times over.

The internals have changed, now running some kind of ARM emulator inside, but I have one from the '80s and another from 2012, and they operate identically. There are some superficial differences, but you could give a modern one to a user in 1985 and they'd be right at home.

The Wall Street Journal wrote a nice retrospective of the HP12c for its 30th anniversary in 2011: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014240527487038419045762574...
Could also mean we could need to plant less trees than we thought.

At the very least, the models have to be updated to use a number of trees an order of magnitude higher than we previously thought.
Why does (s)he have to do that? Because the video makers don't want you to watch it without seeing the ads is not a sufficient reason. Content producers just have to accept the fact that they don't get to control how people see their stuff once they put it out there, just like TV producers didn't get to prevent you from flipping channels during an ad break.

If you disagree, as the copyright holder of my posts, I revoke your license to download them. I guess you'll just have to read HN comments pages where I haven't posted.
I think that is somewhat common situation with Marfan Syndrome. I'm fairly familiar with it because a postdoc in my lab gave a talk about it (it was her previous research) and I don't forget things easily -- but anyways, my girlfriend - who is a transplant hepatologist - told me how in her first year of internship, one of her co-interns clearly had Marfan - she didn't say anything until a patient case came up and and she quizzed the co-intern on what underlying condition the patient had... The intern couldn't figure it out until she suggested Marfan's (and he did know what it was)... Then she pulled him aside, and suggested to him directly that he might also have the condition. He was stunned for a moment, and then proceeded to get a genetic test which confirmed her diagnosis.
This is a great idea. In fact, I did this for one of my websites two years ago (using HAProxy) and I completely forgot about it until now.

Thanks.

my battle-proven URL rules. important: rule 1 is more important then rule 2 to 6 added up, rule nr 2 is more important than rule 3 to 6 totaled, rule 3 is more important than 4 to 6 together, rule 4 is more important than 5 + 6, rule 5 and rule 6 are a tradeoff (it's short, not shortest possible URL).

the targeted phrase is term(s) you want to get found for (i.e.: in google search)

URL-Rule 1: unique (1 URL == 1 resource, 1 resource == 1 URL)

URL-Rule 2: permanent (they do not change, no dependencies to anything)

URL-Rule 3: manageable (measurable, 1 logic per site section, no complicated exceptions, no exceptions)

URL-Rule 4: easily scalable logic

URL-Rule 5: short

URL-Rule 6: with a variation of the targeted phrase

most common mistake, rule 6 (least important) invalidates rule 1 (most important)

i stand with these url-rules, evertime you compromise on them - or change the priority in between the url-rules, you - your company/startup/business/website/webapp - will regret it in the longterm.

about:
>This is the sort of solution that I really like. The SEO folks can fiddle with the URL until the cows come home, the engineers have the luxury of a straightforward rule, and the user never sees a broken link. Is this simple structure enough to keep everybody happy?

NO

every redirect has a cost:

- server ressources

- (web)performance a.k.a. speed

- long term project costs: redirects needs to be maintained (they will not) and documented (they are not)

- added complexity (redirect complexity add up fast, more info see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8891553 )

No! If the OP is on a "Let's play" video, a relevant ad is about a similar video game, computer hardware, etc. The version of "relevant ads" is a tracked ads, where he would see a sex toy ad on the video because he looked for sex toys the day before. But that is not a relevant ad to the content consumed.

Why isn't it a sufficient reason? If they say "don't watch my video unless you pay $5" are you okay with that or do you just think whatever they made you're entitled to it, you never have to give what they ask in return? Isn't it up to them to decide what they want to charge you (pay $$, watch this ad, etc.) and for you to decide not to watch if you don't want to pay whatever they are asking?

How is this any different than say GPL in that you can either pay the price "make your modified version GPL too" or you can not modify the software. Do you also think that's not for them to decide and that you should just use and modify the software anyway?

PS: please don't turn this into a thread about the minutia of the GPL. That's not the point. The point is whether or not the same concept that lets a creator set a software license and choose the terms, whether that concept also applies to other creations, videos, books, movies, games, magazines, articles, etc..

Thanks for the feedback. The reason for the verbiage is that this is the first of eight planned prerequisite tutorials [1], so Learn Enough™ Command Line to Be Dangerous is setting the stage for all the others as well. The introduction to each future tutorial will be focused exclusively on the content of that one document. I'll definitely look at putting some of the intro into a sidebar, though; that might work well.

Regarding Command-space, I've added a clarification regarding ways to start Spotlight. Thanks again for the helpful suggestions.

I see this too, in the bay area. There are so many intersections with green left-turn arrows that drivers forget the rules when they encounter a regular light without a left-turn arrow.

The particular case is that a driver going straight will yield to a driver approaching from the other direction who wants to turn left across them. They should not yield. They have a green light.
