Gotta say you really did hit the nail on the head with this comment. I'd like to mention though that I've been using 12" screen gear for about 5 years now, both in production and performance (DJ) environments, and I've yet to really run into issues. Granted, I've had an external monitor or a projector going from time to time, but, like when running Line6 Gearbox, I'm not looking at the screen nearly at all. When running Traktor Pro, I try not to look at the screen very much as well, because looking like I'm "checking my email" is a constant dig at folks who use laptops as performance platforms. I don't mention these as contradictions to your perspective, just another few thoughts to consider!
I really don't understand your point: do you consider leaking the TPP draft "anti-west"? because in my honest opinion WL did a huge service to the western world by publishing this atrocious agreement.
And that lets you Hax0r the computer because?

That's a great analogy, by the way.
Or you can do what https://www.vessel.com/ is doing and be subscription first and work out deals with producers for short-term exclusivity.

Honestly, I can't understand why anyone would take their content to YouTube exclusively right now given how hostile Google has become.
I went ahead and changed the title on my site, because I am also sick of that comment.
Not really. From public accounts, State was running back level Exchange 2007 with tiny mailboxes with administration from some useless contractor. The Russians probably read the mail before the employees did.

It's very common for senior execs to play all sorts of games with email. If you see folks carrying legacy Blackberry devices today, they are doing something similar.
Does this give google legal ground to make an argument that ad blockers enable piracy? If "ad free content" exists, but you have to pay for it, then is it piracy to get the "ad free content" without paying for it?
EC1's advice about a narrative is good. Also, try to just passively let the transition happen rather than forcing or worrying about it. Hard part for many.

One thing others haven't brought up is how LD and astral projection experiments showed conscious mind is weak/short-lasting and subconscious mind is strong/long-lasting. So try to leverage latter. Repetition and sensory input (visualization) are nest ways to prime the subconscious. You just get it into back of your mind enough that it (a) adds to starting it and (b) keeps it going once conscious mind drifts off.

I'll give you an interesting example of utilizing subconscious. Monroe wanted to have Out of Body Experience but couldn't consciously separate: stayed fully awake or asleep. So, he dehydrated himself for days while repeatedly getting up from bed to fill a glass from sink then pour it out. Thirst was hard to ignore but he did. Also did heart slowdowns and physical relaxation to make his body sleep each night. One night he went to kitchen to get water but his hand went right through the faucet. Went back to find himself in bed, resulting in instant awakening.

Hallucination or spirit, the reason he went OBE and lucid was the repetitive influence of his subconscious to go for thd sink when thirsty with the cheat of being thirsty constantly. His mind turned off, subconscious did as programmed, and woke him up in mid-dream. Cool, eh? All kinds of programming that's less extreme.
You left out the second clause:

Developers offering products within another category of app downloaded from Google Play must use Google Play In-app Billing as the method of payment, except:

* where payment is solely for physical products; or

* where payment is for digital content that may be consumed outside of the app itself (e.g., buying songs that can be played on other music players).
Its anti-Western because it leaves out China and Russia...reading that theory makes a lot more sense now.

Any PR victory Moscow can prop against the US hegemony is a win to them.

This is straight out of the Cold War PR battle.
Let's put aside the admittedly inflammatory rhetoric. Are you arguing that if the government decided to peacefully change the population's demographics in order to make a currently unpopular political goal more achievable in the future, that would be okay?

Because that's about the most anti-democratic thing imaginable. In a democratic society it is absolutely, unconditionally wrong for the government to do such a thing. The government serves at the pleasure of the people, not the other way around!

I'll have to look more into it then. At some point we just got tired of hearing about all the different ways to approach agile, and we've been using some sort of (mostly scrum) hybrid for the last few projects I've been a part of. But if there really is merit to this then that's something to consider.

This reads like another iteration of a bubble alarm, which has been going off since 2007 at least (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9860603). I like the sound of what Fred's saying, it gives my sensibilities about business a soothing caress, but the reality is that people have been expecting these businesses to start failing en masse for almost 10 years now and so far most of them are still around.

As long as there's no better vehicles for investment, these companies will probably be able to keep doing what they're doing.
I think it will make YouTube much smaller - if a channel has been abandoned then content is also gone. Too bad, I like to see lectures and documentaries, or some old and forgotten music, so all this will also go ...

Maybe they want all the rarely viewed videos gone so that they can cut on storage costs?

Also if you ripped and posted some old disk then you are not holding any rights so this content is also gone.

I'm preparing a blog post on the differences between the old and new 23andMe reports, and how they compare to a raw data analysis with Enlis Genome Personal.

Here are the headline numbers-

Number of health-related traits reported:
Old: 201 New: 36 RawData: 2109

Number of health-related variants reported:
Old: 1283 New: 100 RawData: 13,537

I will also note that while they increased the price, they are still using the same genotyping chip that they released in December 2013

> Cars are legally required to do so, aren't they?

As an owner of a Tesla, no, there is no such thing (at least in the US), and please stop spreading misinformation (if you are talking about the US).

And the car is not COMPLETELY silent... the wheels make noise on the road. I've driven a completely electric car for at least a year, never got even closely into a pedestrian "situation", and I live in a highly populated area (NYC and its suburbs).
Doesn't seem like he actually cracked any DRM - he downloaded the book (as he was apparently entitled to do under his license, 10 pages at a time) and used an image editor to remove the watermarks. The digital equivalent of printing it and using whiteout to remove the watermark.

I think it would be hard to prove that he cracked any DRM.
Twitter could avoid this sentiment by making a fiscally-binding statement:

"We have opened up our API, and have placed $5B in escrow with the Gates Foundation, who will return 70% of the investment income to Twitter. If we deny API access to developers before 2020, the Gates Foundation will keep the principal."

Someone sufficiently clever could make a similar, but perpetual, statement.
I'm reasonably certain that subscription paying viewers will earn the creators more per user than US-based free/ad customers, as is the case for Spotify.

This feels more like a 'we are switching, it will benefit everyone, but everyone needs to be on board or this wont work' move.
The name for what you want is cohousing -- I know of at least four cohousing communities in the Boston area, and there are probably many, many more.

The usual cohousing model is (relatively) small apartments gathered around shared communal resources, in a condominium financial arrangement. Instead of the condo just being your share of a building, it's a share of the community. The fee is partially in money and partially in chores performed: helping to cook for a communal meal once a week, helping to clean up, helping to maintain things and make things better.

A cohousing community can generally afford better amenities than the people could individually: how often do you want to play piano? If you're not a pro, having a well-insulated piano room is really expensive - but justifying it as part of the community is easy. Want a really good home theater? A pro kitchen? Really good gardens?

The people I know who have tried cohousing have either left after the first year or decided that was how they wanted to live for the rest of their lives.
If you are interested in moebius start with his amazing collaboration with jodorowsky "the incal" - art and story are incredibly rich and unique scifi.
Very interesting.

What we see is that when we look at cost per MB ratio (price/MB) then it tends to go down exponentially. This happened from the beginning till 1975 when something happened so that the prices rose even above the initial levels in 1956.

But then it goes back down exponentially and it flattens around 1985. When we zoom in then we see that it continues to go down and then flattens around 1995.

The fall now accelerates as the ratio flattens already in 5 years.

Now when we move forward into into 2010, we see then continuation of the fall till sudden spike in 2012 when the ratio raises back to 2010 levels and then continues to fall and reaches the pre 2012 levels in 2014.

After 2014 the ratio still continues to fall.

Edit: So in cost per MB, we start with tens of thousands of $ per MB and reach tens of $ per MB in 1985.

Then reach tens of cents per MB in 1995 and in 2010 we have tents of cent per MB.
warez... now that's a word i haven't heard in a while
> It makes it feel as-if the general quality of journalism is declining.

How much did you pay for a newspaper subscription thirty years ago? How much did you pay to read this article?

The quality of journalism is declining, because the money is disappearing. News providers are producing more and more content for less and less money. The only way they can do that is by cutting corners.
Attacking the Network Time Protocol [pdf]
Most people would agree it's fair that Twitter wants to disallow outright clones. The problem is it's not obvious where the limits are, as the wording "apps replicating Twitter’s core user experience" is open to interpretation (by Twitter).
Nope. That only explains a portion of the increase.

Option 7: Remove all pre-video ads from YouTube and return it to the way it was, dropping the idea of monetizing the world's largest creative platform.

Secret Service Allowed to Use Warrantless Cellphone Tracking
It's a comfortable environment where you can discuss what's happening to you, how you are thinking about it, and how it makes you feel. The psychologist will be able to provide suggestions about the situation, your way of thinking, and how to manage your feelings. They can teach you techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, or just provide an unbiased outside point of view.

Most importantly, they are detached from the situation (unlike a coworker or friend) and have professional training and experience at helping people with their problems.

Often times when I see a psychologist I end up figuring out how to improve my situation on my own. Having a place to spend time thinking about the issues in a calmer way, and the occasional suggestion or a good question, let me tackle my issues from a different point of view. Repeated visits (once every two weeks to start, then once a month) for a period of time provide motivation to put these realizations into action. When I feel better, I stop going.
Especially since Twitter's "core user experience" is constantly being expanded to include functionality originally provided by third-party applications.
How Mediocre Dutch Artist Cast 'The Forger's Spell' (2008)
I agree with your comment with ideas. Some ideas are totally not workable. That is why we could learn more from failures.

Many applicants may not like to show failed application to unknown people. But to a group of peers who experienced same thing, we could possibly share and learn from each other's application.
When a mistake is made consistently in a language, it becomes the rule. If you know what the person meant, the word did its job, whether it was spelled the way you think it should be or not. Besides, the word 'loose' as a verb works perfectly well in that sentence: "They really had no other good choice except force them to sign up, or [release] revenue sharing status.
Adult children do not go on health insurance. Adult children do not usually get any work provided benefits at all.
I disagree. I think it is worth it to talk about them, for three main reasons:

1. Even if this machine only gives off radiation equivalent to, say, a dental X-ray, I still did not give my consent for it, whereas I did give my consent for the dental X-ray. Consent is important. There are a lot of things that are OK with someone's consent, but not OK otherwise, and we don't have the right to make these decisions for someone.
2. Medical X-rays have positive expected trade-offs for receiving the dose of radiation. Compare this to an X-ray police van than I happen to walk past; there's not really any argument that can be made for why my exposure to this X-ray radiation is worth it for me.
3. The machine can malfunction, or be used improperly, and give off substantially more X-ray radiation than expected or designed. Safeguards are in place for other uses of X-ray to protect against this, e.g. you wear a lead apron to protect the rest of your body during a dental X-ray, and the assistant taking the X-ray leaves the room entirely. Safeguards of these sort aren't possible with the presence of an unknowing public.

There's also of course the entire privacy aspect that we haven't even delved into yet, but the health issues alone are concerning.
Well, a lot of the creators are from very small communities. I personally can't afford to pay Youtube 10$ a month just to watch those people (I can't even afford cable). That means I don't get to watch them now, as far as I can figure. Likely, they will now stop those channels. Some of them do get revenue from the ads, at least enough to buy equipment and support the side hobby. Without that, those channels are gone, at least I think that's the down-low on this. I think it'll drop their fan bases by orders of magnitude, and hence, they no longer exist.
I can't be the only one extremely suspicious that two pro-google comments made the exact same spelling errors.
Xamarin is IMHO the best cross-platform SDK, but I wouldn't recommend it, or any cross-platform SDK, to indie devs unless that dev's background is in C# and they really really want to keep using C# AND they know what they want a cross-platform SDK for. It's best for shops with several C# devs.
I've had nothing but great experiences with Lenovo, Apple and Dell's customer support. As others have mentioned, there is also a fantastic third party ecosystem for parts and services. I can not say the same for other companies and would welcome others experiences with them.
You can just change that "using an AOL email...should preclude you..."
> Cars are legally required to do so, aren't they?

Not yet in the US, though there are active proposals to change that.

A completely silent car, driven properly, wouldn't kill anyone.
The suggestion wasn't about having verizon's database being hacked, but rather that other employees can see this data at all.
What I particularly love is that you didn't actually read the rest of the bullets in the ToS, and you completely ignored my citation of the Kindle app which I intentionally provided as an existence proof.
The article assumes that the defendants are guilty. It should assume that they are innocent and ask why prosecutors are trying people they can't prove are guilty.

Yeah I was curious why they changed the link I posted to the actual documents in question. I hoped to allude to the story not link directly to the materials (which any HN reader could find on their own after having read the story). Either way it got the conversation started, I suppose.
If none of your viewers pay for a Red subscription, then there is zero change from the current state of affairs, right? You get whatever the ad revenue share is.

Half hearted at best. The flimsy article mentions three cases, one of which was a witch trial brought by Goldman Sachs.

Libor fraud? Pass. Money laundering for drug cartels? Pass.

Would you believe it just if someone robbed you, was caught and had a pay a fine of half the amount they took?

The government essentially allows criminal fraud by the powerful and then takes their cut of the profits, meanwhile the weak and poor continue to suffer, but luckily we got intellectuals who can explain away how its all too complicated.

Complete and utter bullshit.

Personally, I have never trusted these social network companies in terms of working with/for the platforms. Sure, when they are in trouble, when they need developers, they will say things like this. And when they are strong, they will close up and can't care less about their developers. It's the same with Facebook, etc.
False dichotomy.

It (sincerely) baffles me that Fred has to make this point, and that it's not treated as obvious.

People who are deeper into startup world than me, what is the thought process that makes you think you can scale up a money-losing venture and have the math work out? Is it based on the hope of raising prices, or being acquired before funding runs out, or pivoting?

There are a lot of smart people in this game, so there has to be some intermediate mental leap that I'm not understanding.
Snakemake is great. Having done some work on the Snakemake internals to add remote (S3) file support[1], it clear that Snakemake is beautifully written. I'm a rust novice, but if Rust-Bio is as well designed it will go far in encouraging the use of rust in the field (assuming things like file parsing are fast and work well). As an aside, Johannes is quite prolific in bioinformatics of late[2], and recently started an exciting project to package tools for conda[3].

I lived in a Campus house for a year, till they closed down. I made a lot of friends out of my roommates as well as the extended community. They really did a great job and it is so sad that they weren't able to make it a profitable business.

They removed the biggest issue with coliving : managing roommates moving out/in, being on the hook for rent if someone moves out and you can't find someone great in that short period of time etc. You just paid your rent+fee and they took care of everything else.

I've heard many stories of Campus members (=tenants) asking for ridiculous things from the support people, simply because Campus would provide it for them, no questions asked. "This is why we can't have nice things" came to mind frequently.
The tip of my Pen on my Surface Pro 3 broke (I wasn't even sure when, or how, it could have been entirely my fault). I walked into a Microsoft Store and showed them the problem.

They weren't able to remove and replace the tip itself, so a few minutes later the CSR went to the back and brought me a new pen, and mentioned that it wouldn't appear as warranty service so I would be free to replace it down the road if necessary through "normal" repair channels.

This was without any additional warranty coverage. I can't speak for other Microsoft products, but they seem to go out of their way to support the Surface to provide a similar, if not superior, repair/replacement experience as Apple (I previously owned a MBP and had its screen repaired for free as well at an Apple Store).
I believe they had a series of ads on NYC subway stations a year or two ago. Not sure if they've done anything since.
