> "I have actually tested this and several people and some where better at coding with a slight buzz."

I've experienced this once before, not with coding but with software testing. Liquid lunch (couple of pints of Guinness), and was a lot easier to focus on work after lunch because the slight buzz kept me feeling warm and happy, I remember being quite productive. It's not something that I'd want to make into a habit but I definitely think it can help with focus on repetitive tasks (so long as it's well within your personal limits).

It's not a sovereign state at least not a recognized by the UN it lacks about half the votes it needs in the general assembly so it hasn't even been brought to the UNSC yet.

On this same note you could get claim that South Ossetia is an independent nation, and to be fair at least it has a permanent member backing it even if it's "just" Russia ;)

Washington Post, Gawker, and others who use the SecureDrop software for soliciting leaks are a great use case for .onion+EV. You get the assurance that your connection is encrypted and, as much as possible, anonymous from the person you're connecting to; you get the assertion of the person you're leaking to that they are who they claim to be; and you get a 3rd-party validating with high confidence that someone authorized to represent that company set up the domain you're leaking to.
I think that is reasonable. The bulk of citations are used to give background for an article. To show what is already known and what is novel in the specific article.

E.g. "Foobars have previously been shown to be faster to widgets in vacuum[4][6][8]. In this article we examine whether this remains true in normal atmospheric conditions"

that should be more common than

"Foobars have previously been shown to be faster to widgets in vacuum[4][6][8] but those studies probably suck. In this article we examine whether they are faster in normal atmospheric conditions"
FREE Halloween Wedding in Dolores Park
Crash a FREE Halloween wedding in the park in the way that only San Francisco can do it!

San Francisco locals Adonis and Ivy are shooting for the Guinness World Records Largest Public Wedding on:

Saturday October 31, 2015

Dolores Park

Become a part of the memory by signing the guestbook. They are inviting the public to join them as they exchange their vows exactly where they met in the park two and a half years ago. Costumes are just as encouraged as keeping the park clean is.

The wedding will feature the unique SF-stylings of:
- Mission Pony,
- clairvoyant readings,
- Henna tattoos
- the world's longest selfie stick,
- coconut rum,
- Three Twins Ice Cream,
- dancing
- and more!

The wedding will be broadcast live on Mixlr at

"...curious to hear HN's thoughts on if this should be fixed or is acceptable."

I consider it unacceptable. Why does Google do this? Is it for the purpose of tracking users?

This feels like a common problem with URLs. More and more sites send you onto other links while apppending some identifier to the URL. I frequently come across links shared by friends and colleagues where I can immediately see the referral site that was the source of the link (even though the destination of the link is different). Presumably this is yet another layer to the endless (but rarely questioned) tracking that has become the norm on the web.
You're missing that there's at least three works involved here: vmklinux, the Linux kernel, and the combination of the two as part of one product.
On the challenges (and rewards) of scaling a hardware startup to mass production
I suspect it's someone being clever.

I think doing subsequent searches as a "#q=x" change to the URL lets them avoid reloading the page and use clever javascript to replace the results.
YC is arguably the best accelerator in the world. Maybe you don't need an accelerator at all, for those who are interested, applying to YC is definitively worth it.
> But claiming it is anywhere near Kotlin's is just preposterous.

The only example you give is that they don't have their own standard library. I agree it's a difference, but you really think that makes it worlds apart?

I mean, in Ceylon you can also use the JDK, so I don't quite see the big thing, but even then, OK that's one difference (and it's a justified one too, but fine, OK). That's really the thing that makes you say that we have Java interop a world apart? I understand it may be an important point for you, but I don't understand how you can extrapolate that it's so important for everyone.

> while Kotlin has many thousands of libraries. Where is the FUD?

There. Right there ;)
Among my responsibilities is systems administration for hosted services for customers, including email. What is for you a minor nuisance is for me a major time-consuming headache. For instance, even with a top-of-the-line modern mail stack, including SpamAssassin and greylisting and so and so forth, enough spam was still getting through to customer inboxes that I've had to develop additional non-trivial software specifically for dealing with it.

I beat this drum occasionally because I don't want to have to pit my meager resources against the resources of someone like YCombinator who are willing to provide funding (and introductions to enormous amounts of even more funding) to companies that are OK with spamming.

And I'm not including B2B cold emails as "spam", even if they're written as a template, so long as there's an actual human behind them and they aren't being sent out en masse (for example, Locbox: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4672162).
> but software is about trust and I do not trust somebody like Gavin King for delivering a good language after Hibernate :)

Perhaps it's just a joke, but if it's not: sure you're entitled to dislike Hibernate and prefer other ways to talk to a DB, but it's still one of the most widely used ORM on the JVM so it may not be perfect but it is also a huge success.
My thoughts exactly. Has no one studied the plot to I Am Legend?
Honestly, people shouldn't click the unsubscribe links anyway. Spammers use that as a way to make sure people are actually reading their emails.

i don't disagree that independent replication is useful or crucial. the obstacle is one that is intrinsic to academia - 'publish or perish.'

it is logical for a researcher to devote their time and energy to research that will be published, and journals just don't devote space to independent verification efforts.

>Money saved is the very definition of economic inactivity

When people save money, do you really think they put it under a mattress? No, they put it in a financial institution like a bank, who can then use it as capital to loan out further funds. By increasing the amount of saving you should naturally reduce interest rates. Saved money doesn't just drop out of the economy.

Even if someone did put money under their mattress, they are risking having inflation eat away as its value. Also, if they never spend their money, all they have done is increase the value of everyone else's money. Prices have to fall to the point that markets will clear.
Uber has a $5 million dollar insurance policy so that's your answer.
Some propose an even stronger definition: when the indices for accessing said data no longer fits in one machine's memory.
> This is incredibly silly. URLs are how you get to a page. It's how The Web works!

That's a very general and simplistic view of things, and we both know it's not true.
While URL's were designed originally to only provide an address for a specific resource we all know they are also used for storage, user state management and many other things, again not ideal but in some cases unavoidable.

Not to mention that URL's are not implicitly intended to be shared outside of the scope of your application you wouldn't link the 3 mile long URL that you get every time you login into your bank account would you?

> That's what the History API is for. When you add an anchor-tag query, store the original state in the tab's history.

Technically (best kind of not true) not true for the Google History API and even if it would be applicable for this it doesn't work in cases where you for example weren't signed in or explicitly blocking google tracking API's and services.

Not to mention that making a API call every time you need to do something as basic as backtracking on your search is just pure insanity when it comes to resourcing.

And if you are talking about the Chrome Page History API then why in god's name would i want a site to access it, not to mention it's not applicable in this case either.

> Infoleaks are BAD. The least Google could do is use their URL rewriting powers to remove the original query when they add a query stored in the anchor-tag.
Life is bad, if this was in a link which was automatically shared (although all those pin URL generators link 10 fold more data than Google) I would agree with you, otherwise not really this isn't a use case for the application.
You're right, I've veered some discussion away from the original topic, sorry. I wanted to focus more on YC's role in this, if any.

(As my final word on it however, Zenefits specifically was not sending "cold outreach emails", it was bona-fide spam. But, they're far from alone in this anyway, which was my main point.)
It's not an uncommon practice to A/B test your branding, even your brand name. The other wesbite could be targeting a different market, different geography, etc.

> You're underestimating how far people are willing to go to appear legit. Showing logos of companies who aren't your clients -- or of publications that never mentioned you -- is common. They know most people won't check to verify.

Here's an avenue for investigation which seems to be unexplored here: has Flymaids hired any maids, or contracted with them, or however that works?
I commend the spirit and attitude of your post as well, especially having also gotten a rejection. I am curious though, what exactly did you learn from this experience? I'd love to be able to claim the same, but given absolutely zero feedback from the process, I'm at a loss to do so.

I do commend yours and the above's attitude!
I'm one of the founders of Homejoy. I'm still very passionate about the home service space. After leaving Homejoy, I started FlyMaids, where we're exploring a few different angles on the space.

We recently acquired the customer and service provider data from Homejoy.

We're a small team that has been focused on moving quickly while bootstraping. We tried to quickly test different approaches, but we realize now that we did so in an unclear manner. We recognize the need to use the data we acquired responsibily. As a result, we're taking the site down, and we're going to do a better job with our testing moving forward.

This is true for newsletters you never subscribed to in the first place. But unsubscribing from mailing lists you once subscribed to should be possible (and done) through the unsubscribe link. There are a lot of valid reasons (change of interest, frequency of mailings ...) and I agree with the parent that unsubscribe links should work immediately and not try to discourage you from unsubscribing.
What's wrong with it? He's not making the usual "tiger-proof rock" argument used to refer to the TSA, after all. The TSA doesn't, as a rule, catch people who were actually planning to cause trouble. They either catch people who didn't know/care how much toothpaste they were allowed to smuggle onboard, or they catch idiots who forgot they were carrying a .50 caliber Desert Eagle in their shaving kit. This is a different argument altogether.

A friend of mine says that the only part of the URL you can change on older browsers and not refresh the page is the anchor-tag part.

OTOH, if you only put search params in the anchor-tag part, the initial search is much slower on slow connections.

Still, infoleaks are BAD. Page load and update speed shouldn't come before safety of a user's private information.
Great read & cool project. Somewhat disappointed I did a ctrl-F and couldn't find the term 'Spudnik'.
User-does-the-link does not change whether the blob is derivative work or not.

No, but things are significantly more straightforward if the combination Linux-kernel-plus-nVidia-module is distributed; this combination is clearly a derivative of both the Linux kernel and the nVidia module that make it up. There is far more room for argument if the module is distributed on its own.

> "Tutorial screens and mechanisms are never a good thing."

What's your definition of a "good thing" or "actually good"? If it's quantifiable as higher engagement and retention then these mechanisms are far from "never a good thing". They're a good thing quite often - when done correctly. This is why you see them in many products that have growth teams dedicated to the task.

Agreed that the screenshots do not do a great implementation justice.

Note that when I'm talking about onboarding, I am talking about combining introducing users to the UI with introducing them to the product.

Sure introducing the user to UI by itself is not great.

> "If you've designed an experience that is intuitive and requires no tutorial screens, you want to include them anyways? Am I reading your post wrong?"

Slightly yeah. It should be read as: "If you've designed an experience that is intuitive and requires no tutorial screens, you want to test them anyways."

Because we've seen their inclusion improve engagement and conversion even in experiences that are intuitive. Sometimes that's not the case, but the possibility is strong enough to justify testing them out.
I had a discussion with some weather forecasters about how we could enhance their datasets with IoT sensors (80k of them over ~200,000km^2. The answer was no enhancement whatsoever.

First thought: "Why is Microsoft building an Android app to launch arrows?"

Ah, English. I headdesk in your general direction.
Yes, that was a very old-school way of dealing with the problem. It’s mostly symbolic.

Most problems are systemic, which is a nice way of saying “ultimately management’s fault”.

Most things that most people do, most of the time, are reasonable in the circumstances. Management creates the circumstances. “Human error” is a non-explanation.

Here’s a book on the topic, often called systems thinking: http://www.amazon.com/Field-Guide-Understanding-Human-Error/...

Getting even more bookish: firing “bad apples” for “human error” is a form of substituting an easier question when presented with a harder one, as Kahneman describes in Thinking Fast and Slow.

When I write papers, and more generally in all of my conduct within academia, I follow a cardinal rule: Be Nice. I cannot imagine being negative towards another paper in one of my own.

On the other hand, I'm a mathematician, and I very rarely (i.e. never personally) see incorrect papers from others in my field.

I will also add that I've been quite negative when reviewing papers. But that occurs behind closed doors (for good reason --- even good people make dumb mistakes sometimes).
