Lies, damned lies and benchmarks
The one benefit of static linking is reduction of software/library dependencies required for production deployment. In many organizations this means you can develop on any OS/Platform you wish, and then deploy on whatever OS/Platform the ops team is currently running.

Many organizations have yet to adopt devops and templated system deployment methodologies, so it's a legit concern.
Totally agree. They are destroying their most valuable component of their brand, for a relatively weak one (Prime Video).

I have Prime and prefer Netflix, because Prime Video still doesn't have a great selection.
It's particularly interesting to this conversation because it has no teeth. IGDA is hope and a dream. It took real unions a lot of hard work to get movie credits to accurately credit people. Presumably it would take the same for games.
If a device comes with a useable app store, I'd rather it not come with tons of bloatware for every service ever out of the box.

At this point it just seems Amazon is touting their weight.
Graphics aren't my strong suit, but Glium is an OpenGL binding so good that I've heard of people converting to Rust just to get access to it: https://medium.com/@tomaka/the-glium-library-5be149d87dc1
It would be so easy for Amazon to support Chromecast. Instead they're losing me as a Prime customer.
I haven't been following the various Git large file solutions - can someone comment on how this implementation compares to git-annex or whatever else is out there?
Oscar Insurance is hiring a Software Engineer: Platform
> Please note for Internships: We look for junior standing or above for all areas of engineering. We hire several interns every summer and fall. We aren’t currently accepting applications for summer 2016 but please check our job board in September for the job posting when we start the hiring process.

Should this be November? Or is there a link to apply for internships?
Is evolution via natural selection at play here? Or is the timespan too short for such a clear change to be seen?
That article needs work, and lacks historical context. The first such organization was the Philadelphia Contributionship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss by Fire, established by Benj. Franklin in 1752. They're still in business.[1]

Originally, they sold permanent fire insurance. You paid premiums for some number of years, and were then paid up for the life of the building. The building can only burn down once, after all.

Last week Oscar received a $32.5 million investment from Google Capital, now valuing them at $1.75 Billion. Apply now to join the team!
> Java is also a really annoying dependency to have in a project. Java virtual machines are not particularly known for their portability: the "build once, run anywhere" motto has always been a fallacy. By using Java, one closes the door to pretty much anything that is not x86 or x86-64, and anything that is not Linux, OS X nor Windows. Support for Java on other operating systems or architectures is never official and is always unstable for some reason or another. Heck, even most interpreted languages have better runtime support for a wider variety of platforms!

I guess the OP needs to update his Java knowledge.

Out of my head without searching the Internet, I am aware of JVMs for Aix, HP-UX, Solaris, GNU/Linux, Windows, OS/400, z/OS and their respective processors.

Not counting the amount of hardware vendors offering commercial JVMs like IBM, Atego, Aicas, IS2T

Which sums it up to x86, x86-64, ARM (including Cortex ones), MIPS, PowerPC, RX and a few others.

But lets just bash Java for brownie points.
I worked at Amazon for a while, and I was in a number of meetings with a number of senior executives, and I heard them ask, "What's better for the customer?". This move makes me think they've gotten out of the habit of asking that question.
That would instantly backfire on google.

Amazon isn't a search engine that indexes the web. It's a ecommerce site, and ultimately is allowed to carry the products they want to carry.

This is only specific to Apple & Google video streaming devices, not all Apple & Google products.
Isn't that a TERRIBLE idea as you can run:

var fs = require('fs');
var content = fs.readFileSync('/etc/passwd');
console.log(content+'');

or look into any other file?
Bloomberg's title seems a little baity. The article states, "... its marketplace sellers that it will stop selling Apple TV and Google’s Chromecast."

So "the everything store" will stop selling their competitors products? Not exactly earth-shattering.
I figured it out via Google, but, as an FYI, that glyph looks nothing like an Apple logo on my device.
Yeah I agree with this. There are a couple of shows that are only on Prime Instant Video that I use it for. But I'll still watch it on my Apple TV. If Amazon chooses not to build an app, I'll go elsewhere, I won't buy a whole Fire TV just to watch a show.

All this for one of the weakest parts of Prime. I've been a Prime member for 3-4 years before I watched my first prime video. I simply don't care for the service.
Google can't do that right now. The DOJ is looking into anti-trust practices.

Even though everyone else should be looked into as well (this is article is a case in point).
Pixlee | San Francisco, CA | Full Time | ONSITE

Pixlee is revolutionizing the relationship between people and brands. We help companies leverage customer photos/videos from social media to improve marketing.

We work with over 100+ customers, including top brands such as Converse, Kenneth Cole, UGG Australia, Mattel, Charlotte Russe, Marriott Hotels, and AMC Theatres, to drive higher online conversion, increase performance of owned media, and create a more authentic brand experience. A graduate of the Stanford StartX accelerator, Pixlee is an Andreessen Horowitz and XSeed Capital portfolio company. As a rapidly growing startup, we are constantly looking for talented people to join the Pixlee team and to help us revolutionize the intersection of big data and social media. At Pixlee we work hard, love to learn, and value teamwork and humility. We’ve got a big vision and we’re looking for game changers to join our team.

We look for talented, high-potential individuals who aren’t jerks. Our proposition to them is simple: Pixlee offers a unique opportunity to thrive and grow rapidly in a small-team startup environment operating at big-company scale. Our customers are some of the largest brands in the world and everything you do here affects millions of consumers.

We believe in using the right technology for the task, and we use a mix of rails, backbone, python, scala, elasticsearch, and postgres.

For me, I've really felt that I've been able to really grow very rapidly, and also been given the autonomy to make many decisions you can't make at a much larger startup. Its a very tight knit group, and we like to have fun.

What we're looking for:
- Software Engineer: https://boards.greenhouse.io/pixlee/jobs/86332#.Vg126xNVhBc
- Software Reliability Engineer: https://boards.greenhouse.io/pixlee/jobs/86351#.Vg127BNVhBc
- Other: http://www.pixlee.com/careers

The quality of the weld is extremely important, enough so to justify the 0% o2 environment.
I think he means that the French are insisting that Google not only censor the search results for Frenchmen, but also for Americans. That is never going to fly.
The problem is AmazonGlobal. There's extremely little competition in this space. If I order from abroad (I am in Canada) then the courier will charge me a ridiculous amounts of money to process customs (http://www.ups.com/content/ca/en/shipping/cost/zones/customs... twenty percent, easily!). If I order from amazon.com / .de / whatever then at checkout I will pay all the necessary import fees and taxes (very low usually) and no customs processing fees. As far as I am aware, only eBay has a similar Global Shipping program.

I'll be honest here, the 43 students is a tragedy that got, unfortunately, badly politicized and should not be taken seriously anymore.

The official demand by the people behind that political movement is "we want them back alive", but since when a government has been able to bring dead people back to life?

The real issue behind this tragedy is that drug dealers are infiltrated in the government and military forces, and their influence was demonstrated when they "got rid" of those 43 students when the students stole a bus with a cargo of drugs.

The demand behind the movement should be to remove any criminal influence from the government and the military forces, not to bring back to life those 43 students. They're not asking for something that will benefit us as a country, they're asking for something that will never happen, even under the best possible circumstances.
You can, and you should feel free to give it a shot. Everything is running in its own sandbox, so there's no real issue with that.
French National Assembly pushes forward international Surveillance law
That puts us one step closer to eliminating styrofoam in bicycle helmets. It may be that there are other very good or better materials that are currently too expensive, but whose prices could be brought down by widespread adoption.

You can't spray your fields with efficient cars.
People have raised this issue before, but it hasn't been taken seriously:

If Google can't show its own products ahead of others in the Google search, why can Amazon show its own products ahead of all the other products on its store on its front-page?
In the US. I'm not sure that's true in the EU.
Could you please provide contact information?
thanks

Please include your Github account and a brief CV in your application.
What do you use as alternatives, and for what categories of shopping?
Is this a new trend, using the emoji instead of spelling out "apple"? (It's just rendering as square-box TV in chrome on windows, which is really ironic given the subject of discussion.)
Exactly. I bet they'll capitulate eventually though. Prime Video membership seems like such a small thing to gain in exchange for staying out of the Apple TV store.
Where does your homebrew live? I have a few different users on my mac that I want to all share resources so I've kept it in /usr/local (also the "easiest" because it was the default).

TBH, things like this make me really mis debian. It's really nice when your package manager is a first class citizen (and geared towards software development rather than consumption).
There used to be nice documentation online about frameworks but from that I learned:

$ man install_name_tool

Show HN: Hacker News clone for books
I love books!
I had once come across a great list of book recommendations on the LessWrong website ("The Best Textbooks on Every Subject"). But when I had stumbled upon the list a couple of years ago the last comments and recommendations on it were from 2011.
And similarly I found that most recommendations on the web suffer from this form of time decay. What I wanted was a site that had high quality recommendations similar to the LessWrong list that would feel fresh and current.
Amazon was overwhelming for me since it has a gazillion books on each subject and the "Thanks! Arrived in good condition!" type of reviews drive the signal-to-noise ratio down.
So I decided to scratch my own itch with this project. It's a bare bones MVP, shamelessly copying HN's look-and-feel (even on mobile!)
but Im hoping it will get used for quality comments and recommendations on books.
Would love to get some feedback. Thanks! marai2books@gmail.com or http://twitter.com/vivalabooks1

Once SHA-2 is broken, browsers can simply no longer treat those hashes as safe. The spec suggests browsers don't use anything less than SHA384, including MD5.

The impact of SHA-2 failing would be far, far, larger than poisoning jQuery.
By the same logic, Google is a website, and they can publish what they wish.

This is a strange choice by Amazon. It's not at all clear that such a ban is in the interests of Amazon or their customers.
A huge part of Amazon's success is that they don't do all of the warehousing. It's quite easy to become a seller on Amazon and ship stuff from your home. That's how they can have such a massive selection of items for sale. Obviously they also have huge warehouses. Good luck competing with them though :)
For those of you in San Francisco, Roman Mars did a TED Talk about their flag design and specifically levels good critiques against the San Francisco flag, lays out ways to make it better, and shows examples of good flags along the way. http://99percentinvisible.org/news/99-invisible-at-ted/

The precursor to that talk was an episode on flag design: http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/vexillonaire/
Deal with it like the food industry does. Put antibiotics into/onto plastics.
Why bother? Apple's manufacturing cost isn't that high. When the battery dies, Apple can just sell you a new one with a trade-in.
That would be one form of anti-competitive behavior.

Using one's market dominance in one field in order to defeat competitors in another field is also sometimes considered anti-competitive, though of course subject to a lot of considerations (e.g., how big your dominance is and what the behavior is specifically).

This is precisely how MS got nailed in the 90s - they were using their dominance of OSes to spread IE and prevent the spread of competing browsers (well, Netscape at the time).

Amazon isn't quite a monopoly like MS was in the 90s, but they're large enough that maybe it matters.
Within 3 minutes of reading this, I canceled my Amazon Prime account. The fact they require sideloading APKs for streaming video on Android devices, and even then only support SD quality was annoying.

This just tells me they have no intention whatsoever of improving the situation. I guess I'll use Google Express now.
Twitter behavior can predict users' income level
If this is the beginning of a trend then I won't be a Prime customer much longer. If they don't sell the products I want, then I don't care if I have free super fast shipping and the value goes out the window. I could care less about their video services. I have Netflix and Hulu, it's been months since I watched something on Prime video.
NCC Group (formerly Matasano Security, iSEC Partners, and Intrepidus Group) - Austin, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Sunnyvale, CA

Somehow it's October already, which means you're frantically working on your "meta" Halloween costume and we're about four days away from all stores playing holiday music. We'd love for you take a few minutes away from sewing that "ghost in the machine", and to consider a career with NCC Group!

NCC Group is constantly hiring security consultants from ALL backgrounds to join our team. If you’re a tinkerer, a breaker rather than a builder, or someone who wonders “why” and ends up down the rabbit hole 36 hours later with a disassembled air conditioning unit surrounding them... we’d love to hear from you! Our process welcomes those with years of experience, as well as those with little to no direct experience in what we do.

The bottom line: if you love security and research, NCC Group just may be a perfect fit for you.

What do we do exactly? Penetration testing, security analysis, and cutting-edge research into current technologies and attacks (breaking things). You spend most of your day thinking about security systems and how they can break. You get to be creative and have a lot of freedom to be clever while learning new technologies at a very fast pace. Engagements are usually 2-4 weeks long and in a year you will be exposed to 15-20 products and technology stacks. Your work will typically initiate person-months of security improvements in products millions of people use. You will have access to senior engineers/architects and your findings/ideas will be heard by senior decision makers. You will have enormous impact in making the software people use safer. All of our consultants are also security researchers, with dedicated research time. Not too shabby!

If I was Apple I would try really hard to avoid Amazon's service working.. they are a more direct competitor than say netflix, as they sell both the hardware and the service
Iron supports it at the least( http://ironframework.io/doc/iron/enum.Protocol.html ).

And if you want to patch other frameworks or build your own: I have personally used Hyper (http-crate) with the OpenSSL crate to do Https before and I found it very easy.
Apple removes Ifixit's repair manuals from App Store
Yes, it is confusing. Title should have been "interface with remote node.js from any website"
> Their explanation is just insulting.

Do they really need to explain their actions here to anyone? They don't owe Apple and Google a spot in their inventory.

What if Google removed all of Amazon's apps that stream competing content on Google Play store? Then what?
I guess the question is whether those SDKs provide everything Amazon needs. And, are there no legal restrictions that affect Amazon either.

Overall the article just says Prime "doesn't work well" on those devices, but does work well on others. It doesn't say why. At this point it's hard to say who's to blame. It would have been nice if the article had investigated the issue.
