You may want to consider CSS breakpoints. They'll do that automatically without the page refresh, assuming the content layout is done using CSS already.

A rough design pattern I've seen is
Desktop resolutions: use layout in terms percent. For instance: left side of text begins at 50% of image width.

Tablet and mobile resolutions: fixed layouts for each resolution supported.

If you're doing the polygon containment using javascript, I imagine implementing such behavior might get really complex.

the poster you're replying to is not saying that it definitely works, only that it might. and additionally (and this is the crux of that statement): even if it does work, it's still morally wrong.
>"I can think of a million and one things we should be doing but won't because of money."

So can I, a staunch anarcho-capitalist that believes we should have no state at all. I pay taxes and I expect the poor, sick and hungry to be taken care of. No questions asked, no complaints about budget.

But let's be honest... It's not capitalism or capitalists that are letting the poor starve. Just because there are greedy people out there, doesn't mean the government get's a free-pass on not fulfilling the duties we entrusted to it.
UDP broadcast is probably much simpler to implement and the code to implement it is likely to be cross platform, whereas using ZeroConf would require interfacing either with the native platform's specific implementation, or including it's own implementation when the platform lacked one, and then dealing with interoperability issues between all the platforms.
So IANAL, but didn't Griswold v. Connecticut establish that some rights DO exist without being enumerated anywhere? Specifically, that the guarantees in the bill of rights have "penumbras" that imply other rights not explicitly stated in any text (and not necessarily in common practice before the establishment of the constitution), but rather implied by the spirit of the text as a whole.
I don't think the world is black and white like that.

Hypothetical: someone kidnaps a child and the police capture someone who definitely knows where the child is. The child's life is at risk. If the parent were to beat up (torture) the person to gain knowledge, you'd assume the parent "likes" torturing people? I wouldn't.
Not sure what's up with that - Olark's been online all day (I know, it's been busy with the divshot news) and our API has had no issues (again, we've been seeing lots of activity).

The API call you list there is only available with an authorization token, so it's supposed to give a 401 unless you're logged in...
Step 4 (for me) was realizing that all of these plugins to solve small individual problems were just a bunch of cruft. Especially when you use these plugins, mapings, or remappings (I did that a lot) to hide from learning all of the vanilla movements. So, I still use plugins, but I use them to solve things that I cannot myself solve. Or deal with major vim deficiencies that I just don't want to mess with. And focus my attention on grokking 'help' to learn more abscure movements.

Oh, and mappings/macros are awesome in cases were you want solve specific problems in less moves. I use macros to test out my ideas. I sometimes then make them a mapping. That isn't often, but when I do that, it's because they are general and needed enough.

DRM is protection of content from the consumer itself. The consumer is going to consume the data through an analogue channel. This channel will always be the source of extracting redistributable content. The very premise of DRM rules out any 100%-solution and sets it as obfuscation.

I feel it might be stupid idea but it is not impractical.

The effort of extracting content should be less than the maximum value that can be generated by redistribution. Thus, returns from piracy diminishes as you go from softwares to video to image to text. The effort of extracting an image is too easy via analogue hole. This is assuming an open technology ecosystem not exactly the RMS world but at least Linus or perhaps Mozilla. The enforcers of the DRM do the sensible thing of spreading their proprietary black boxes to as much people, until, they can shut down their doors to the rest of community. That is precisely when certain open source foundations too had to back down. That is how you can enjoy netflix only within your chrome browser.

What bothers me is why are they trying to make it into the standards. If it is built into the standards, it will be built into the downloaders as well. Remember what happened with HLS AES encryption, it is now built into the video downloaders itself. While I understand benefits of standardization, how it has given shape to tech, it might not be true with something so un-technical as DRM. If you do want obfuscation, at least do not make it standard procedure. You know very well that the strongest DRM can not be technically secure.

Content and advertising have always blended together in some form. Traditional editorial independence created a sort of firewall between the means of monetization and the product. Today it looks a little bit more blended. Note: I don't know the specifics of this article or of Medium's monetization.

This article discusses specific instances of Medium blending of press releases and articles. http://www.businessinsider.com/medium-pr-newswire-revisited-...
Ask HN: Anyone had experience with "feature creep" prior to launch?
I've got a product I'm yet to launch, and am already finding myself overwhelmed by different things that it could do. They're all super cool additions that enhance the original function, but I'm worried about the initial iteration being too convoluted upon launch.

Has anyone had experiences with packing tons of features into a product before going out? I only ask because the whole "feature creep" thing is usually contained to products that are already out there. I couldn't find much advice online regarding if best to go meaty or lean when when going to market.
This somewhat reminds me of San Francisco today. Most of the "hot neighborhoods" now were immigrant neighborhoods even only 50 years ago.

People are paying $2M for homes that 50 years ago were in areas regarded as low income. Tiny homes!!

It's amazing.

The problem isn't "tricks", the problem is anyone who actually stands up to anyone worth standing up to doesn't have enough money.

The only real route to "success" I have is to make $5-10 million and being willing to spend half on being elected. No one is willing to spend that money on the congressional level.

I'm not sure if Medicare/Social Security will exist when I'm 65.

I work for a living. I don't say "hey fuck that guy" because he's rich, I say "hey fuck that guy" because he's a greedy sociopath who is fucking up the fabric of our society, a society that I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of for the past 22 years and that I would love to raise my kids in one day.

I don't have anything against Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Michael Dell or people of their ilk - they're geniuses who excelled in bringing a fantastic product to market, and they were rewarded for that. I would love to emulate their success.

But the top investment bankers who were intentionally obfuscating the market through complex securitization and interest-rate manipulation? The CEOs of Moody's and Standard & Poor's who were intentionally misleading investors and prioritizing profits over quality and integrity? The people whose job it was to regulate these markets, stop oblivious consumers from taking on a $500k mortgage on $50k yearly income? The oblivious consumers and investors themselves? The government who set a precedent of propping up failed bets with taxpayer money? The ones who were not adequately punished for the pain and suffering they caused? Yeah, fuck all those guys.
Yes but Twitter fits in within mainstream media. Facebook could take the #hashtag business, but the pseudonymity of Twitter has general appeal. Doing anything but advertising is a bad deal for either Facebook or Twitter. CPA is really a bad deal for the platform.
"Every morning, we all wake up to a world that isn’t optimized. Reading the news, commuting to work, ordering coffee, planning a vacation; far too few of these experiences were optimized using data. As a result, our lives are filled with experiences that are never as good as they could be."

Oh the horror! Just the other day I was getting a cappuccino from my local cafe, and as the barista expertly poured out a perfect latte-art fern, I thought to myself, "man, if only this process could be optimized using data, like they do at Starbucks." Then I sat at my computer and read some idiosyncratic posts from my favorite blogger. After enjoying a few posts I said to myself, "man, if only he could optimize his blog posts for maximum clicks like Buzzfeed does. Why doesn't he use data to make his experience better?"

</sarcasm>

I do generally dislike cheap negativity when responding to startup news. But this first paragraph was really tone-deaf and deserving of ridicule. Let me try to balance my criticism with some constructive advice for rewriting this press release.

Drop the first four sentences. Start off with, "When Pete Koomen and I founded Optimizely five years ago, very few companies had even heard of A/B Testing, and optimization software was about the last thing anyone considered putting in their technology stack." Then give an example. "When we first helped XYZ Sporting Goods optimize their site, we knew we were on to something. Not only did we help them write more compelling copy and better imagery that bettered their sales, we also created a much better experience for their customers. No longer would visitors click away because they could not understand what the site did, or what their message actually was. A/B Testing and data based optimization allowed us to match the website to the people who were actually visiting their site. Fast forward to 2015 and much has changed...."

Not every company is going to change the world. But you can still write a compelling, feel-good narrative without making me want to throw a shoe at the screen.
"If you're not willing to sacrifice real lives and safety to avoid torture, I don't think you are meaningfully against it"

I completely agree with this, and it's the crux of the argument that I've made against torture when having that debate with people.

Whether it works or not is a cop out. Yes, I believe that torture is, in general, vastly counterproductive. But I also believe that there might be occasional cases where it happens to "work" for extracting factually true information (I put "work" in scare-quotes because there are all sorts of practical and moral side effects even if it does "work"). No matter: it's still morally wrong.

Most Americans believe in the principle of "innocent until proven guilty." That alone should be enough to imply that torture is wrong, since it is almost exclusively perpetrated against the unconvicted (and even if convicted, there's the whole prohibition on "cruel and unusual punishment," which I'd bet most Americans would also claim belief in).

I guess there are many people who don't think it through that far. And I'd bet that there are many Americans who believe that those rights apply to other Americans, but not non-Americans, or enemy combatants, or whatever. Such people are, IMHO, cowardly assholes. Everyone deserves the same basic human rights.

much as i'd like to agree with the person you're replying to in this specific case, you're right in the general case (full disclosure: i'm black, and pretty devoutly agnostic).
Genuine question: How do companies with such vague and unimformative home pages become so widely-used? I'm sure their platform is great, but I couldn't tell from their home page what they do, and wasn't interested enough to keep reading. And Optimizely isn't the only culprit by any measure. Is it just word of mouth? Or are most people somehow more likely to use a product with a vague and buzzword-laden description over something more succinct and to the point?
Self-tiling tile set

Once you have the email addresses(see unshift's comment above) you upload them to Google and then target the addresses with specific ads.
I'm gen X too, and graduated into the recession of the 90's and have been lucky to be employed in a high demand field. You mention the stuff that we can buy, and that's part of the modern abundance that I mention that I know our society can produce, but I don't agree with our economic quality of life as a society.

It seems to me that the overall opportunities available to Millennials even 5 years away from my age drop off substantially. The hours that are worked for people that have jobs have increased, and the off hours are encroached by availability of instant demand emails, texts, endless other notifications. Looking at overall stats, the millennial group is at lower employment than previous generations and I personally don't believe that they're less willing to work hard than previous generations.

I've worked for startups with founders (from a generation or two before me) that were able to start fairly deep businesses from their 9-5 job savings and pensions - and now new business starts have been on a decades decline. I was able to work my way through college and now college wages have little hope of paying for a degree. Err I'm not sure how you claim that civil rights have improved with the uncovering and continuation of wide-scale surveillance that wasn't physically possible in the past...

There's no hard scientific proof in economics, but it seems like our society is more capable than ever, but the benefits are distributed more narrowly, while general wages are flat to declining, the risks individualized with lesser margins in the income, those all feel like fundamental reverses in important life areas.
TLDR: a "poor" senator (meaning just ~$2 million throwing away money), gets kicked out of the white house, and connects with loads of high tech firms and big banks and "somehow" gets >100x investment return in ~10 years, or 10x market return (70% per year average) through his hedge fund (the 10x return is on his own money, of course, not on the people who paid him to manage their money, article doesn't state what their return was).

Looking up what return he provided for clients in the same period, for one client (NY city/state [2]) it appears he managed to deliver 32% in the 2009-2012 period. Per year that comes out to 9.5%, assuming reinvestment. Keep in mind that plain S&P 500 rose from 90 (SPY approx value in 2009/1/1) to 205 (SPY approx value 2012/6/1), or 233%, or 32% per year.

Can someone explain to me why anyone parks even a single penny with this firm ? Although the article does say that it was public funds looking for an "environmentally friendly" way to invest.

Some interesting things, apparently ethical investing means mostly tech companies, with Microsoft being the #1 single investment. Generally looks like a run-of-the-mill, a lot riskier than usual (has biotech & tech, he's got to be down 10% for the past month, at least. And if his bond portfolio is this risky, more than 10%), portfolio.

How Nontechnology Companies Are Trying to Mimic Startups
There is no need to think in conspiracies.

This is dead simple: If you give a journalist access to Apple’s labs they will write about it. If you are Apple PR you pick a journalist you know who shares your values and you are done. That’s it.

Apple is too big and too interesting a company and too secretive a company for that to not work. They don’t do this often so of course it works when they do it. Of course. And it’s timed with the release, because that’s just easy to do.

I mean, what do you expect? It’s enthusiast press reporting. It’s also super-fucking-interesting, no doubt about it, not even a tiny little bit, so that’s that.

No grand conspiracies, just Apple knowing how news work. If you give them access they will come. And you can pick who will be allowed to come. You don’t have to do anything, really. I don’t even think you can call this immoral or unethical.
I agree with everything you just said -

Just pointing out coping IP may be bad in the short term ( Tesla doesn't make as much money as they excepted ) - but in the long term its good for humanity.
> releases far less CO2

That's not a small amount. Nuclear releases 0 CO2.

> 50GWh of battery capacity per year:

Thank you for making my point for me. At that rate, we might have enough battery power (assuming no replacements) in a century or two. We need TWh capacity, not GWh, to change the world over to intermittent generation sources.

> Safe nuclear is this mythical future technology you speak of.

Of course not. Nothing is without risk. Do I need to remind you of the problems natural gas can cause?

You have a strange sense of "least worst", given incidentsw like these happen fairly regularly in the oil and gas industries. Nuclear hasn't killed anywhere near this many people.

Copyright prevents creative impersonation. If I take your creative work and try to pass it off as my own--whether for profit, reputation, etc.--copyright gives you a legal tool to stop me.

Without it, anyone could get away with pretending to have done anyone else's creative work.

To illustrate with a recent example, Andy Weir wrote "The Martian," and distributed it online for free, originally. Without copyright, Crown books could have copied the text, put a different author name on it, sold thousands of copies and kept every dime. Same with the movie--they could have just copied the story and made a movie without paying Andy anything.

Part of our reward systems is what was initially named the "pleasure centre".

When the "pleasure centre" in the brain was first identified and named, it was named because it was thought that stimulating it caused pleasure, because rodents given the choice to stimulate it vs. other activity would stimulate the pleasure centre even over eating.

But as it turns out, the main function of stimulating this area is strong cravings and compulsion. You may get some pleasure from giving in to the cravings, but the cravings are independent of whether or not there's a "real" reward at the end of it.
When you invite someone you clean up … I mean, what’s with the weird conspiracy mongering? That just makes no sense.

This is the most ordinary thing in the world, Apple just doesn’t normally do this, so it’s kinda surprising to see it from them.

Apple gives journalist access to their lab they don’t usually give anyone access to. Of fucking course they don’t have to pay anyone to write about that! Not a dime! They could probably get journalists line up for a chance of getting this access. Or they could charge an admission fee or something and still get people to write about it.

The assumption that Apple would have to pay anyone to write about their trip to the Apple lab is just mind-bogglingly out of this world. It’s so weird, I can hardly believe anyone would seriously consider holding such a view for any amount of time.

Interoperability shouldn’t be an issue – that’s what a standardized protocol is for. MacOS X has Bonjour already built-in. On Linux you can simply require Avahi.
