That would be a decently large extra expense for a feature used by only a fraction of users.
Greece's monetary policy, if we can call it that, isn't the only problem in Greece. The Greek labor market is over-regulated, favoring the older generation over the younger, and corruption in government is widespread. Greece's government debt overload, and subsequent default, are just symptoms of this state of affairs.

It certainly doesn't help, though, that the Greek people are practically forced to use their government's debt as money (Euros backed by Greek government bonds).
Could not agree more (re: youth/good vision) which is why I personally don't mind if there was a mobile optimized user experience.

My only hope in saying my comment is that I would have the ability to set the way HN is now as my default mobile viewing version and allow others to view the mobile optimized version.
Non-HN but YC-related question: Is there not going to be a Startup School this year? I have gone to 2 of them, and it’s always an inspiring, memorable experience.
I tend to listen to my music away from wi-fi and I'd soak up my monthly limit inside of a day easy.
There is also an app for Android that is somewhat similar to that one, and being an app it starts faster than the browser opening the website.
In fact I enjoy reading HN from that app more than reading it from a desktop.
Steam Link is a different kind of product. With Steam Link, your PC is loading the content and then sending it to your TV, with Chromecast, you are telling (in most cases) your Chromecast to load that content directly.

Also, Steam Link doesn't work with phones. Many apps have specifically designed experiences for the Chromecast as well.
I used to use chromecast quite heavily, but ended up getting tired of their relatively limited format support and use wireless HDMI now (which does everything I wanted but does require dedicated source hardware - like a pc).
Sort of naive question; where are we getting the raw materials for all these batteries?

In this case, my customer requires it. As in, if it doesn't have an IVR component, they're not interested, no matter what the price (e.g. $0). Their current solution is pure IVR, and I'm hoping to add a website and SMS interaction along with the IVR; then maybe wean them off the IVR. But I've already tried to sell a non-IVR (pure web) solution and it's absolutely no chance of consideration.
So wake-on-lan is supported? This should enable easy scaling of network based containers like load balancers, proxies, etc. I recommend looking at the work they're doing at Pantheon as an example of the power of systemd containers.

>European email providers are not cooperating

The NSA doesn't need cooperation. It can pwn sysadmins, plant covert operatives, and backdoor equipment in transit (including foreign-made equipment, so long as US intelligence can influence the shipping carrier, for example by recruiting employees or hacking ancient legacy software). If it can't, then it can pwn the other side of the conversation, or watch the SMTP in cleartext through a submarine-tapped undersea cable.

Disband the NSA and some other agency, some other country, will do the same thing.

You're bikeshedding. End-to-end encryption with HSMs and trusted execution environments everywhere, always. Verifiable, deterministic builds. A genuinely trustworthy, decentralized PKI. Better software engineering security practices, a professional barrier to entry, and an ethical system (ala the Bar or medical boards) with teeth that will reliably eviscerate people and companies who write and run irresponsibly sloppy code.

The cat's not going back in the bag because you avoid the US. Fighting over which service providers you send cleartext through, whose hard drives your unencrypted data sits on, who has the power to MITM you, is a waste of time and a distraction from the real challenge of developing and adopting security systems and practices that make doing what the NSA is doing actually difficult.
Or do you feel that everyone who's been shadowbanned has in fact repeatedly misused their commenting rights?

> There's no chance I'm going to vouch for something other people have flagged: I'd never have enough certainty that I'm more right than they are, not enough to risk your retribution. I value my ability to participate in this community too much to help moderate it under threat of punishment for doing so poorly.

This is confusing to me. Unless there's something nobody told me (always possible!) the only "punishment" they'd institute would be removing your vouching privileges. Not making use of the vouch feature out of fear you won't be able to use that feature seems entirely paradoxical. It's similarly paradoxical to say "I value my ability to participate too much to actually participate" unless I've simply missed some part where they say "we'll take away your submitting/commenting ability."
It's not too surprising that Audi is also affected by the scandal. It makes you wonder if the higher end VW child companies (Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, etc) are affected as well because of the scandal.

You could always re-train the network on a different style of images if you have a huge set. The set used with waifu2x was probably easy to get due to pixiv/*boorus.
Thanks for the reply. I struggled with the title a bit, in my head I think of the "XYZ Fallacy" as a trap we are likely fall into. For me, the trap was overemphasizing a set of implicit rules and trying to explicitly teach those rules to newcomers. (I.e., the newbies are required to use a structured approach that proficient practitioners never needed or even know about.) This is my personal lingo though, and might not make sense to others.
Those links are about an experiment we tried that did work, and which we've expanded. If you get an invitation asking you to repost a story, that's the latest incarnation of this. Where we're stuck is on figuring out a way to let the community manage it that wouldn't just reduce to how upvoting works now. We're working on it though.

They would no longer need to ask for cooperation. Personally, I'd call that less safe.

At least in theory, the NSA could allow a compliant US business to be secure. If the NSA could not get data from a foreign business the easy way, I'm sure they would get it the hard way.
http://my.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/max-load-model-s indicates that the weight of (passengers + cargo) in the model S should not exceed 962 pounds. So adding 1200 pounds of battery to the model S to get that range is out of the question.

Even if you could, if you add 1200 pounds, power usage will go up.

So, you will have to change the design of the car to accommodate the larger battery weight. It is unlikely that you can do that without adding further weight, increasing power usage further, or tremendously increasing the price of the car.

Windows is getting faster on the same hardware since Vista (7 was faster than Vista, 8 was faster than 7 and 10 is faster than 8). Linux is difficult to judge here because of the variety of DEs, but it's not really slowing down with time either.

Newer iOS versions are slower on old hardware than older versions, and this is also more or less true for Windows Phone and Android.
Requesting the article be changed to https://theintercept.com/2015/09/28/hacking/ which seems to be this articles source.
First, no, in the real world it does not take more time to reach elements further in memory. Even if the memory is physically further on a chip (and some memory has to be), the memory transfer happens on a clock edge, not just "as soon as possible", so the elements actually transfer at the same time.

On to the larger point: O(1) does not mean "twice as fast as O(2)". It means "does not take longer depending on how many elements there are". That is, if I have an algorithm that takes twice as long as an O(1) algorithm, the slower algorithm is still O(1). We do not care about constant factors when dealing with big-O notation.

Accessing an array is O(1). What do you have to do to access an array element? You have to take the size of an array element, and multiply it by the index of the element, and add the starting address of the array, and access the memory at that address. That's O(1), because it does not depend on the number of elements in the array.

In contrast, accessing an element in a linked list is O(N). You have to start at the beginning of the list, and keep getting the next element until you get to the one you want. On average, that takes N/2 operations for a list of N elements. But we don't care about constant factors like 1/2 in big-O notation, so accessing an element of a list is O(N).

But if I want to insert an element into the middle of a linked list, and I already have a pointer to the place where I want to insert it, that insertion is only O(1). I have to change swap some pointers around (2 or 4, depending on whether it's a singly- or doubly-linked list). But that doesn't depend on the size of the list. Whereas if I want to insert an element into the middle of an array, I have to move all the elements after the inserted item, which is an average of N/2 items, which means that operation is O(N).

This is a completely inadequate explanation of big-O, but I hope it's enough to clear things up at least a bit for you...

True that.,
I don't entirely understand the logic here, you're afraid your ability to use X will be taken away, so you choose not to use X altogether? Isn't that sort of self-defeating?

Is it more of a concern about not being able to flag something when you feel very strongly it should be, the avoidance of feeling reprimanded by a community you care about, or something I haven't thought of?

Edit: At the heart of it my question is essentially the same as masterzora's. Perhaps I phrased it poorly? I don't mean to be dismissive or rude, I'm just trying to understand the psychology behind this.
Would you mind curating the experiments you do. For example, and it may just be me, but suddenly there is a "past" and a "web" link. I would be interested in reading a short but about them and of course the explanation for why it did not work and got removed.

"What's the recommendation if you're using command/shell utilities on upgrading vs. clean install"

Always a clean install. Always.

Whether it's NT4 or Win95 or Classic Mac or Snow Leopard or Mavericks ... always, always do a wipe and a clean install.

Life is too short to deal with the alternative.

Yeah, the Chromecast app[1] will let you cast whatever's on your screen, regardless of individual app support. I used it recently, for example, to play the turn-based game UniWar on the TV in my living room.

That app works with Android TV devices, too, although there's an issue there that trips some people up. When it first launches, it will look for Chromecast devices specifically but will not pick up Android TV ones. Even so, if you thereafter select the "Cast Screen" option, your Android TV devices should show up, as my Nexus Player does.

I've read others describe the same, but when I went to look for a part I've been overwhelmed by the purchasing process. There seem to be several sources for this part and I have no idea how to guarantee its quality. I know the replacement is easy enough, having already had to disassemble the phone to replace the display.

Can you tell me where you found the battery you are using now?

I'm disappointed by the 5X. I was planning to replace the Nexus 5, but the 5x really does not appear to be a good value. If I can really get usable battery life out of the Nexus 5, I'll gladly keep using it, because there's very little else about it that seems in any way deficient.

Traditionally the karma points were supposed to indicate what you felt contributed to the discussion, then I think it was pg who said that using them to indicate agreement was also okay. So now there's essentially a second point system, for indicating what does and doesn't belong in the conversation, but they are much more serious.

I guess I can see people flagging posts that are relatively unconstructive more liberally now, things that would maybe just be ignored before. Maybe that's a good thing, I don't know.
As someone who has done a lot of work with ML and the lambda calculus, having to put parentheses around my arguments in most programming languages drives me crazy. It feels so heavyweight.

Function argument parens are particularly weird when dealing with curried arguments. `f x y z` is so much nicer than `f(x)(y)(z)`.

>Evapolar emulates a soft natural chilling process instead of just producing a cold air thread like the other air conditioners (that often leads to catching a cold).

Viruses cause colds, not cold air. Not cold weather. Not being in the rain. Proximity to sneezing people (by staying indoors when its cold) and viruses living longer in cold climates (doorknobs and such). Not blowing cold air onto someone. This is bullshit.

>Evapolar is a desktop personal air conditioner that not only chills, but also humidifies and purifies air.

To my understanding it's a humidifier that manages to leave the air colder. What is it doing to purify the air? Genuine question, as that isn't explained anywhere in the functionality.

>Humidifies the air which is healthy for your hair and skin.

How humid are we talking about? Too much of anything (yep, even humidity!) can be bad. Too much humidity leads to oily skin/acne. I don't think many people consider acne to be "healthy skin".

For marketing, sure. Bullshit all you can get away with. That's the point. But to convince me to spend money to pre-order or fund a product on Indiegogo? Any amount of bullshit is a red flag for me to not waste my money. If it really isn't bullshit - I'd like to know how Evapolar manages to do what it claims to do.

Although I'm sure the marketing probably earns more pre-orders than it loses. That's life I guess. /shrugs

[Special Note] I use "bullshit" in place of "marketing fluff that is either partially true or only believed to be true, even if scientifically false."

Android and iOS HDR systems take multiple pictures very rapidly at different exposures and knit them together. You can't manually take the same “input” pictures as rapidly as an HDR system.
The online barter systems seem to be de facto creating an alternate currency. IIRC, the one profiled in the article uses "points" that are the equivalent of Euros (scanning, I can't verify this atm, but I read more than one article before submitting this one, so maybe I read it elsewhere). So if you have 600 points in your online account, you have the equivalent of 600 Euros to work with.

I think it isn't Greece's monetary policy that is out of whack. I haven't really studied it, but my impression from casual reading is that the economy is being crushed by things like high benefits packages for government workers. So when you engage in barter, you side step that. You trade THIS thing for THAT and there is no cost tacked on for putting money into a retirement account or paying for disability insurance etc. You just need tires and need food or you have meat and need tires, and you make the trade to meet your needs in the here and now and let tomorrow worry about itself, thus you don't reduce the value in the here and now of what you traded by setting aside one of your four tires "in case something happens" and driving on three good tires and one bad or whatever. (Trying to come up with a goods based equivalent of the overhead of retirement and so on benefits.)

Anyway, I thought it was neat that a) barter is being facilitated in part by online services b) those services are engaging in some of the same practices PayPal engages in to make sure it is secure and c) it is de facto creating a virtual currency without any intent to create currency. In fact, the intent is to side step the need for currency. Nonetheless, the tracking of points that you can spend is the essence of a currency. The single biggest real value money has is it lubricates trade by creating something universally accepted so you don't have to ask dozens of people if they will take Thing You Have in exchange for Thing You Need. You can just sell it to Person Who Needs It and then turn around and buy what you need.

I'm not read enough to understand exactly how the Kessler Syndrome scenario cstross proposes would interact with GPS, but significantly naval spending by the Superpowers is the big powers is the major effect I can easily see. When you have to protect undersea communication lines for military command and control (assuming the Kessler Syndrome would be a convenient way for hostile nations to launch attacks against other nation's orbital assets), meaning drone warfare becomes untenable outside a direct LOS engagement if undersea lines are not secured.

I also think there would be a major issue with weather satellites and prediction, causing a significant investment to be made in weather radar and alternative weather prediction and monitoring strategies.

Serious question, not rhetorical:

This reads like a transcript from our early design conversations! What swayed us in the end is that the upvoting and flagging mechanisms are qualitatively different. (In fact it's crazy how different they are.) Whatever's going on there is an important psychological distinction, and collapsing upvoting and flagging for technical reasons—an obvious simplicity win—loses out to that. It's also worth noting that flags are treated differently by the software than downvotes are (or would be if we had them, in the case of stories).

Once we recognized the distinction between voting and flagging it seemed more natural to have this new feature be on the flagging side, hence vouches. The jury's still out on whether it's a good idea or not, though; if it turns out bad, we might consider reverting to the voting idea.
