This is great. I'm a big fan of Lenny's work covering developer trends & the container ecosystem, in particular (http://lennypruss.co/).

Excited to see where this goes. Here are a couple of his older posts in the meantime:

SEEKING WORK -- SF / Remote

I am a designer/developer running an independent consultancy in SF. I do data viz and web consulting (mostly Rails, but the tools do not define the craftsman) for a number of clients -- typically small to mid sized businesses. Still updating my portfolio but you can see a few projects on there right now.

I have a background in full stack development and have quite a bit of UX experience as well. I can build your product end-to-end. Happy to augment your team or work independently -- check out my portfolio for more info.

That's one translation.

Another could be: "Our users are being innovate and using our services in ways we didn't completely anticipate, therefore we are trying to let our products grow "organically" and will make changes that augment what our users appear to be doing."

But this is kind of 2 sides of the same coin.
I've had people that never used Haskell in production before tell me that https://github.com/bitemyapp/bloodhound was an easier way to understand Elasticsearch than the Elasticsearch documentation.
Much of this strikes me as a "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" issue. Google clearly loves machine learning and doing cool things but I think lately they've been taking it too far.

For example; after purchasing a book on Amazon recently I happened to do a Google search on that book and the first thing I see is, "Your book is scheduled to be delivered on..." Aside from the creepy factor I'm left wondering what purpose this serves? I just ordered the book. I KNOW it's on its way.

Turns out they just mined my emails from Gmail to provide it in search results.

I'm sure some developer or product manager thought it would be a cool thing to do without giving any consideration to usefulness much less user privacy. I really don't feel like Google needs to know what I'm buying thankyouverymuch. Gmail account: closed.

Hi Mike,

Really sorry about that. Our Android team is working as hard as they can to bring out updates. It's a tough balance because we've been hard at work on trying to bring 1Password for Teams to Android as well, which until today has been a secret project. This also means adding a lot of new features that are part of Teams, like multiple vault support.

For the fingerprint support it's important to note that this relies on Android Marshmallow so we couldn't ship that until then. It sounds like that has started rolling out though so that's no longer blocking us but a few other things are. I just thought that knowing it depended upon Android Marshmallow would help in seeing why that particular feature hasn't arrived yet :)

We're doing our best to get the Android application improved though.

the scheme does not require 56 pages or whatever to explain. there is some crypto under the bonnet that is designed to guarantee essentially the following:

1 every vote will get a unique tracker number

2 the voter is notified of his or her tracker after the votes/trackers have been posted to the Web Bulletin Board. This is to give a coerced voter the chance to identify a tracker number that points to the coercer's required vote.

3 each voter is notified of her/his tracker in a way that allows them to deny it and claim another tracker that points to the vote demanded by the coercer (which they identified in 2).
I doubt it is that simple to change a 501(c)(3). I'm not a lawyer, but getting the tax exemption under 501(c)(3) has all sorts of requirements including things in Articles and Bylaws about how dissolution / acquiring works. Even losing 501 status doesn't instantly eliminate the legal status of the Articles/Bylaws that founded the (c)(3)…
Not that I'm a fan of Obama, but I place the blame for Guantanamo not being closed more at the feet of Congress than I do him. He can't close the camp if they deny him the funds to do it, which they did.

(Not that this changes your overall outlook much - it just means there are a great many bastards rather than just one)
As with all things, it depends.

If you mostly engage in moderate-to-low intensity physical activity (of short or long durations), low carb diets can work because your body's fats can theoretically supply all the energy you need.

High-intensity (i.e., anaerobic) physical activity requires carbs, as fats and proteins cannot be converted into the appropriate fuel (i.e., ATP) fast enough to meet the body's demands. (For anaerobic activity, the body relies primarily on glucose stored in the muscles and blood.)

However, the dividing line between high intensity and moderate intensity comes down to the individual's physical fitness. For example, a professional marathoner could run a 7 minute pace as an easy/recovery pace for dozens of miles relying solely on their fat reserves to fuel the run; for most people a 7 minute pace is faster than they can run a quarter mile and would be fueled out of glucose stores.
CO is produced by bacteria in your gut, just like H2S.
Reminds me of the nascent Frigate Ecojet project. An ex-colleague met some of the team behind it and described them as keen to shake off the image of it being a solely Russian venture.

It would be like someone calling Orlando, western USA. It's on a west coast, and if you were to head west you would likely hit Mexico (maybe Texas...) but it's obviously not western USA.
You're right... but even "favorites" means something similar to a lot of people (instead of what it means to most of us who've been long-time users of the internet -- "bookmarks").

I agree that this is going to be an issue going forward.
Hi helper!

I've put this in a document I hope to send to the team this evening and I have added your comments on what is important to you. If you have any others please let me know.

This is just the initial beta and we fully intend to bring even more great features to 1Password for Teams. Requests can certainly help drive that direction a little bit so let me know what's important and we'll see what comes up on top.

You can't know if your itemized deductions will exceed the standard deduction unless you itemize your deductions on a draft schedule A. There is a chance that you could have owed less tax if you used the regular 1040 form, rather than the 1040-EZ, if you had medical expenses, gave to charity, had a home mortgage, suffered a loss due to crime, paid tax in another jurisdiction, etc, etc, etc.

And if you use the 1040-EZ, there's also a good chance that you filled out some worksheet to see if you were eligible for the earned income credit, or some other speculative calculation that might reduce your tax, if and only if the number you get at the end of the calculation is nonzero. And in theory, everyone always has to check to see if the AMT is greater than their calculated 1040 tax.

One of the perennial excuses I hear for not replacing the bracketed tax tables and forms with a single polynomial function is that it would be too complicated. Clearly, that's a bullshit reason.
I guess it depends what you're in to and how much you consume. I really like dramas and avoid reality tv. I also tend to watch one episode of something only during weeknights. The last few series I've worked through have been:
* The Knick
* Parks and Rec
* Orphan Black

Next I plan to catch up on the most recent seasons of:
* Orange is the new Black
* Silicon Valley
* True Detective

I seem to find new shows faster than I can catch up to old ones.

Yep! If you're rather read about the features, we've got a blog post up at https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/11/developer-edition-44-creat...

The DevTools Challenger page is meant to be a more hands-on set of exercises to familiarize people with the new / improved animation tools. You should be able to complete it in regular Firefox (or even Chrome), but the experience will be a bit nicer in DevEdition.
i meant, if there is an organisation (the OP's example involves a university department, but this holds for other places too) where the majority of people simply want to use computers to get their work done, it is well worth having one person (or a team, as things scale up) whose job is to automate all the incidental details of working with the operating system and environment, so that people don't have to context switch from a "user" to a "programmer" perspective all the time.
Hey Colin,

It doesn't completely change the game in that field (task management), but still, today there are 2 features that you can find interesting.
First, your tasks have a status ('todo', 'waiting', 'cancel' or 'done'). That list is not configurable for now, but it might be something that can be added later if needed.
Second, you can have multiple tags on your tasks which you can easily filter later in the tag view.

Those are the 2 features that I will find most interesting if I'm looking to manage my tasks. For the rest of the features, of course you will find them in the competition too, you can't deviate too much of what is expected (for example, organize your tasks within projects, search, due dates, etc.).

I might add the simplicity (not bloated) on that list. I have lot of ideas, and I can already see where to put them.
Whats great is that the immenentizing of the eschaton in this case proves that the Force is, indeed, real.

Ask HN: Why upvotes not raising my karma?
Hi,

I've recently been throttled such that I can only submit 1 entry every 6 or so hours. I also noticed overnight that the upvotes my entries get weren't applied to my karma- it took at least 6 points to go up by 1. What's going on?
Interesting, thanks. I didn't know about the details. Here's a story:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/21/us/politics/21detain.html

Apparently, it would cost 80MM.
I'm talking about a slightly different problem. I'm not suggesting that you might accidentally click to send a reply you didn't want to share, so you reviewing it is beside the point. I'm suggesting that by mining all our emails, it might make a suggestion to me based on something you didn't want to share.

E.g. Someone writes me an email about a rare kink you often talk about. You're the main data point on that kink, so it suggests I respond with something you often say when you talk about this topic, maybe including personal details. It's not a totally precise or realistic example, but with large numbers and complex models, unintended things are bound to happen on occasion. Will those things leak information?

As for your comment that the potential replies are limited in number and as structured as you say, I don't get that from the original post, and it doesn't quite fit with my understanding of the model.
I wasn't going to "shame" or denounce the guy, if that's what you were fishing for. I'll leave moralistic judgements up to those directly impacted by his activities -- in this case, his landlord and his neighbors (and quite possible, depending on how he files his returns, the NYC taxpayer, as well).

But on broader fronts, the poster's confession does add to the body of anecdotal evidence we have (being as hard data would be extremely difficult to come by) that a significant chunk of Aribnb's business model is based on outright fraud, in various forms. "Outsourced" fraud, one might, for which Airbnb can't be held directly or legally culpable -- but fraud, pure and simple, nonetheless. And even if only 5-10% (a very conservative guess) of Airbnb's host are engaged in a comparable sort of scheme -- we're still talking about a scale affecting quite literally millions of people, globally.

Which in turn the leadership of Airbnb must no doubt be cognizant of one some level; and -- until they're forced to do otherwise (because you we nearly always have to force these companies to behave properly, it turns out) -- more than happy to turn a blind eye at.

"Socializing costs, privatizing gains", in other words.
While this is cute, from an infrastructural point of view, only people with small projects would ever want to use this.

Even then, I see little incentive when anyone can roll solutions to these particular problems.
>Which is exactly what got us out of the recession.

It's what caused it in the first place. i.e. 2% interest ninja loans, CRA, "home ownership society", gov't-sponsored entities, etc...
You are missing the point entirely.

Summers is criticizing "New Keynesian" models from the 1980s that are based on mathematically sophisticated DSGE models, in contrast with original "Keynesian" models from the 1930s that were rather more ad-hoc, such as Hicks' IS/LM.

Bragging about a "10 bit display" sounds very weird to me, having grown up with the progression from 1-bit, 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, up to 24-bit color! I suppose now everyone has gotten so accustomed to 24-bit color that the newbies have forgotten its name? I'm not sure how else to account for the moderately hilarious concept of "10-bit" color as an upgrade.
Galileo was never condemned to death, much less put to death.

The sentence of the Inquisition was delivered on 22 June. It was in three essential parts:

Galileo was found "vehemently suspect of heresy", namely of having held the opinions that the Sun lies motionless at the centre of the universe, that the Earth is not at its centre and moves, and that one may hold and defend an opinion as probable after it has been declared contrary to Holy Scripture.

He was required to "abjure, curse and detest" those opinions.

He was sentenced to formal imprisonment at the pleasure of the Inquisition. On the following day this was commuted to house arrest, which he remained under for the rest of his life.

His offending Dialogue was banned; and in an action not announced at the trial, publication of any of his works was forbidden, including any he might write in the future.

Look at the woman in the article picture: she's not using a chimney, and she has to squat to cook. German women were cooking standing up (building fires on raised stone platforms), with chimneys to vent away smoke, in the 17th century. (See Fernand Braudel, _The Structures of Everyday Life_.) Draw your own conclusions: pathological loyalty to tradition or lack of imagination; or severe lack of capital and calories; or what?

Great job Phoenix team! I wonder how much of this wouldn't even be possible if not for the great BEAM platform and Cowboy web server.

The author and title confuse the issue at hand. The subject, a US citizen, travelled abroad under his own free will. The Due Process Clause of the Constitution only applies domestically. Had the FBI detained him on US soil and rendered him to foreign entities, that would trigger due process scrutiny.

Being that he was already in Somalia, the FBI can coordinate with host countries (and intelligence agencies) to interrogate individuals. Not only is the FBI not obligated to return him to the US, it's by no means obvious that they can forcibly extradite, even if they had wanted him returned to the US. Sure - they could request (as the State Department and FBI do all the time) - but that's a different issue.

15 years ago the hot new general purpose CMS was Movable Type (https://movabletype.org/) which was... a collection of Perl scripts that ground out static HTML pages. In other words, a static site generator.

Then everybody got tired of waiting for their sites to rebuild every time they changed something and switched to WordPress, which wasn't static. Suddenly your changes showed up right away! Hooray! Then everybody got tired of WordPress falling over under any load stronger than a stiff breeze, so suddenly static site generators were in fashion again.

If you think of approaches to building a content management system as a continuum, with purely static at one end and purely dynamic at the other, you can see the entire history of the segment as a series of oscillations along that continuum. Each approach has drawbacks, but the drawbacks of the approach you aren't using always seem minor while those of the approach you are using seem painful, so the market just bounces back and forth between them ad infinitum as people rush to discover if the grass on the other side of the fence is really as green as it looks.
This is what I most want to see happen. I really want all such processes to reduce candidates to a hash or number until it is unavoidable to know the identity of the candidate (phone interview or in-person interview).

I was worried some might not make it that far into the post and come away with that thought, but such is the nature of long-form prose :). This is more than idle WS connections. Every channel client connects to the sever (via WS), then subscribes via our PubSub layer to the chat room topic. Once we connect all 2M clients, we use the real chat app to broadcast a message to all 2M users. Broadcasts to out to all WS clients in about 2s. 2M people in the same chat room might not be a real-world fit, but it stressed out PubSub layer to its max, which was one of the goals for these tests. We were actually shocked at how well broadcasts hold up at these levels.
Only with regard to your first three sentences:

It isn't wealth inequality or the existence of "insanely rich" per se, it's the ever-growing sector of Americans who are excluded from wealth and who no longer see any realistic hope of changing that through their own efforts. It's the latter view that is a growing suicide motivator, IMHO.
