I want to applaud this but all that has really changed is the definition of "plugin". It has been politicized. EME requires platform-specific proprietary.... components? extensions? Let's just not call them what they are, plugins.

So the issue is, was the problem with plugins NPAPI? If so I guess we're doing better.

If you are in the position to fund development, I have several developers that are coming off of a contract, if its a pure equity arrangement it would not be something we could entertain. My contact info is in my HN profile.
2TB of RAM would cost $31k or so when built out of 32GB chips.

I don't know if EC2 is done this way, but imagine if the T2.micro class was running on these servers (to save physical footprint). At 1.3¢ per hour, the server would bring in $227k/year.
> Have you ever tried your argument with s/guns/encryption/?

This substitution is nonsensical. Fundamentally, encryption is a defensive tool. Where proponents of gun control (and I mean moderate folk, not just the let's ban the 2nd amendment folk) disagree with others is that guns aren't just a defensive tool. Given a sufficiently large population with poor safety nets and discrimination, adding encryption in everyone's hands will not change my day-to-day life significantly. Throw in guns and things change drastically. Now I have to be worried about a dark alley mugging at night at gunpoint.
How about Java? Currently FireFox is the only way to use older versions of the Java plugin on OS X.

Ask HN: How to get an out of state internship?
Hi all, I'm currently a Junior Software engineering student and I'm looking to find an internship out of state for this coming summer. I'm at a point where I want to experience more outside of what my area of Milwaukee, Wi has to offer when it comes to software, business, and also culture and the people that come with it.

I'm looking to learn more about mobile development and I am currently dabbling in Xamarin mobile development. Are their any tips that I should keep in mind when looking for an out of state internship? I find it difficult to find these out of state positions when typically all I can do is apply online and get pooled with many other candidates.

Any input from this community would be wonderful.
It was more a comment about how considerations such as this make collaborative recommendation systems precisely less useful. Regarding rec.systems that move beyond naive rating/like intersections between users (such as e.g. Jaccard similarity index), I think there could be interesting algorithms developed that make use of assigned/curated item tags together with collaborative filtering/recommendations (e.g. something that last.fm has considered (or has been considering) - there's an entire field of research for just music recommendation systems.)

> why advocate for military protection of territory over diplomatic means

Because you are Vladimir Putin and your economic policies of cronyism have led to a general long-term economic decline (exacerbated by sanctions for things like invading Ukraine). You want your various media mouthpieces to play up a threat from competing powers; it will justify your actions to your countrymen, explain away your economic woes, and drive a wedge between them and people who advocate for political freedom.
When I switched from web to iOS development, I did 99% of design programmatically because it is what I was used to (CSS). The only things that I used interface builder was for segues. The frames of each element would be dependent on one another, so if I were to change the frame values of one element, it would adjust everything else accordingly, which was perfect.

However, doing things programmatically takes a long time, so much time wasted trying to align things in your head then implementing it. After talking to a friend who did iOS development for a long time, he convinced me to switch to interface builder. I couldn't be any happier. Firstly, all the elements are available visually, this is a big help to me and anyone else that looks at the project. Secondly, handling size and alignment in interface builder will be daunting initially, but once you get the hang out of it, it becomes extremely easy. The biggest advantage is the amount of time you save from not having to write code.

The author points out the negatives to interface builder, which is pretty important. Maybe iOS developers should start diving into the XML like Android developers.

Some people consider the person conveying a message an inextricable part of the message.

You're right here. I don't think I'd use it for extreme poverty. I might use it as a way to measure 'the poor' though. Although, the relative adjusted cost of 500MB of internet data is going to vary greatly depending on the networking infrastructure of their country. It may not accurately describe the wealth of the people.
Lets continue your hyperbolic argument.

Should we give every individual easy access to ICMBs, Tanks and Nuclear Weapon ?

The difference is two fold.

1) Encryption is useful to society outside the need for killing people. That is why you really cannot compare encryption to guns.

2) Even When criminals do use encrpytion - its used to facilitate killing rather than a direct way to kill people.

Someone cannot just throw a bunch of random paper filled with numbers and I will fall dead. There is a long chain of events between transmission of secret information to people being killed. If you give the world's top two criminals access to encryption but lock them away in a plastic room - they cannot even theoretical hurt anyone.

TLDR : Guns are stupid and people who like guns are stupid
> Of course you have to resort to calling names when you can't make a good argument, who's really the child here?

I didn't call you a child. It was a metaphor suggesting you're being shortsighted and entitled without understanding that the things you want don't just magically appear. A child just wants ice cream, they have ice cream at Johnny's house so why can't he have ice cream at home? The child stomps their feet and says "It's not fair!" An adult grows out of this mindset.

> In many countries you can disrupt traffic because of a protest without the need for a permit. Now you have your one thing. I'm guessing you're now going to tell me how it doesn't matter?

That's great - which countries? They don't get arrested for it over there? You're sure you're not idealizing them because it supports your feeling of outrage?

That's the one concrete thing you're upset about and it's ridiculous. Other than that you're upset Americans don't just blindly go support protesters because they're protesting. Key word there is 'blindly.' That's the protesters fault for not knowing why they're there, not being able to express themselves clearly, and frankly for being so idiotic so much the time. Protesters have trained us that protesters are idiots.

I looked up the Quebec protests you linked - that's the point right, to raise awareness for an issue? - and it looks like a temper tantrum that happened to work.

I've found the business metadata (hours of operation, address, etc) that Google puts into the search results extremely unhelpful. The hours of operation and phone number, in particular, are very rarely correct for me. Most of the time, the address will be correct, but not always (when I search for my doctor's practice, the address is listed as 'Blvd.').

That's a completely different argument though -- the way I read the article, this is about internal density of cities specifically. In particular, iirc the resource consumption of a person living in a dense city is shown to be smaller compared to that of a same-income person living in a low-density city or a suburb, so dense cities should contribute to a reduction in effective density that you are talking about here.

This is definitely a great move for Amazon. As it is now, the docker registry is ridiculously difficult to get set up and secured.

That said, I find myself wishing that Amazon would contribute more back to the Docker project (specifically the registry in this case), and then provide a hosted option with IAM integration, etc.

The existing AWS ecosystem is already enough for me to want to stay with them, but I'd say the Docker ecosystem is fragile enough that it could use some bolstering just to keep it viable and ensure Amazon's investments don't go down the tube if something better comes along.

If cats think it's generally okay to be on the table, they may jump when the table's used for cooking. And fur doesn't make a good condiment.

If the cats are told table's off-limits, they'll still be there when you don't see them, but will have somewhat better discipline in your presence. That is, purring around the cooking person legs, expressing the desire to get some treat.

At least mine behave this way (in one apartment we've lived in, kitchen table was prohibited for cats, in another it wasn't).
Betteridge's law definitely applies here.

https://github.com/PureLayout/PureLayout

PureLayout is a fantastic library for layout on iOS. There's no weird operator overloading, or semantically odd DSLs. It just feels like Cocoa. It's very much "the missing autolayout API".

Everything just returns layout constraints, so if you need to alter the priority or activeness, just use whatever method you choose (i.e. ReactiveCocoa). Unlike IB, it's type safe, and fully annotated for Swift.

"Mayors, police chiefs and state attorneys general said the lack of data is contributing to a dangerous trend in which police officers spurn aggressive tactics for fear of becoming the next officer to be caught on camera in a compromising situation."

First of all, mayors, police chiefs, and state attorneys general are the ones who should be collecting this data and the ones intentionally not doing so, so they should have no say in this. We gave them a few decades (or hundred years, if you wish) to become transparent and they haven't.

Second, I fail to see how spurning aggressive tactics is ever a negative. Police officers should spurn aggressive tactics whenever possible. If they're doing it out of fear of being caught on camera, they're doing it because they know that their aggressive tactics are wrong. So good riddance, if this is actually true (doubtful).

I've never really grasped how to use Interface Builder, I've tried a few times and its just never worked right the first time or felt like the right way to do it. So I've always just taken the approach to pragmatically build my views.

The only issue I've ever had doing it this way was the new Launch Screen to support the newer iPhones, luckily centring a few images isn't too hard to do in Interface Builder. That and writing out constraints can be quite verbose in code.

The "Swedish Academy" who awards these prices are considered somewhat of a joke here in Sweden. Almost as much as we consider the Norwegian Nobel Committee a joke - remember the embarassingly prematurely awarded Obama nobel peace prize - basically only awarded because the Norwegians wanted to frolick with celebs.

They have a very elitist stance - if an author gets popular, no matter how "good" or "bad" he or she is, the prize seemingly cannot be awarded to them.

http://www.today.com/id/15210453/ns/today-today_books/t/nobe...

"A political bias may be hard to prove but there is no doubt the academy favors lesser-known writers to international best sellers. Few outside literary circles had heard of China’s Gao Xingjian, Poland’s Wislawa Szymborska or Kenzaburo Oe of Japan.

Gert Fylking, a Swedish radio journalist taunted the academy for a decade by showing up at the award announcement and yelling 'finally' when Engdahl read the winner’s name. After being barred from entering one year, he showed up the next in disguise.

'The point is that 99 percent of the time, the writer who wins the Nobel Prize is completely unknown to the big masses,' Fylking said."

This number is actually measured, because it is target 7.C of MDG(Millennium Development Goals). Lots of data at http://mdgs.un.org/.

Seattle has never been particularly welcoming to newcomers; people there tend to be insular and it can be hard to make friends if you don't already know people (even before the amazon/tech stuff -- plenty of articles about 'the seattle freeze' that predate it). Being from there helps. Not being in tech helps -- there are so many new software engineers meeting one just isn't very interesting. You can hardly blame people; if every single new person you meet is a software engineer you get real sick of hearing that real fast. You appear like you're a dime a dozen, because as a software engineer transplant in Seattle you are and to anyone not in tech your work is utterly boring; if you can, try talking about hobbies instead and avoiding talking about work entirely. That might help, but it's definitely an uphill battle in that city.

Also everyone hates amazon. So if you don't work there, be outwardly and explicitly proud that you don't -- that's a huge selling point when it comes to making friends. Partly because of the white collar sweatshops (people in seattle generally liberal and pro-labor), partly because of the blue-collar sweatshops, partly because 'large corporation = evil', partly because the countless new techbros with no respect for Seattle culture who spend 11hrs/day at work and don't have time to develop a personality romping around town give it a real bad reputation.
