It's part of the WebKit UA. It harkens from the days when IE and Netscape were the only browsers developers thought about when UA sniffing. It made sure WebKit got the Netscape version (which was closer to the standards), not the IE version.

It's the same reason all browser UAs start with "Mozilla" even though only one is actually made by Mozilla.
Same with an app that is uploaded to the iOS App Store.
There are two US spacecraft in sight: SpaceX's Dragon and Boeing's CST-100 Starliner. That's what the article is about.

(Well, there is a third US human spacecraft in sight, but I suspect it will be irrelevant compared with the other two.)
I suspect that these "extra smells" are subjective, and that there's no chemical basis for any of them.

When it talks about how brothers and sisters can't sit too close together because "their smells would mingle", they could have easily substituted in the words "auras" or "mojo", and it would have the same semantic meaning.

It's more interesting to speculate on why they would develop these subjective values in the first place, than it is to wonder why they've confused those values with actual odors.
Hi Hacker News! Today I pushed live an update to HireGun, which is my company aimed at bringing transparency to the consulting industry while connecting businesses with marketers (to start)!

HireGun is very upstream from eLance/Upwork and focused on businesses who don't have a Fortune 500 level online marketing budget, but also can afford more than $50 for a Twitter bot army.

There are a few more versions already planned with more around consultant/agency partner transparency, making the lives of service providers easier with payment support, and more. It's early days, but I'm excited to be working on it fulltime after wanting to for a few years now!

I'd love your questions and feedback!

And in 28 years of both adult and kid riding, with some years totaling over 3000 km, I've fallen several times, even cracked a couple of ribs, but never once hit my head. See that's the problem with anecdotal evidence.

You know what really derailed our evolution? Western medicine. Those pesky doctors have virtually ended the selection pressure against people with myopia, or those who are vulnerable to pneumonia.

If we really wanna get evolution back on course, we need to start letting the weak die. Personally, I think that sounds awful, and I think derailing our evolution is a small price to pay.

It sounds, but US fascism is not really tied to a political party. It's the system.
Being controlled by the right-wing military-industry complex. Being tied to a single political party would make this system way too unstable. It would have be gone within the next 8 years.
The business plot people (the US nazi revolution which was never executed) found that out, watching and controlling Roosevelt in his villa and went along with that insight.
I feel as though the article is using "open-sourced" more as a buzzword than as a phrase to convey actual meaning.

The only concern most gardeners have related to patents or copyrights is in their seed acquisition. Those who care at all use heirloom seeds and save portions from their previous crop, whereas those who don't just buy seed packets.

Now, if we're talking minimal-effort gardening robots, with open hardware and freely modifiable firmware, that's a different story, but the fine article didn't mention anything more in that vein than a vague reference to optimized tomato boxes.

I'd argue that the memory of a smell is as visceral as the memory of a color or sound, which is not very.

The difference is that smell is so much more powerful in reality that we see through the memory-representation for what it is, an empty placeholder. When we smell fresh bacon in the morning, that experience can be all-encompassing. The same is not true for the optical experience of the thing.

With colors and sounds we are merely less aware of the qualitative emptiness of their mental objects.

LNG Glut Set to Worsen Considerably Over Next 3 Years
This seems wrong. Firstly, the army didn't believe them to the point of not even looking. The Wrights wanted to sell to the army, and were willing to deliver a working plane that met specific requirements. This path ultimately worked, but it took time for the army to change their mind.

They also flew publicly in France in 1906, thus demonstrating what they had.

They defended their patent when Curtis invented ailerons. Today Curtis would have been handed their own patent and won the battle, but back then they were given wide latitude.

In the end, they sold their patent for something like $1M. I don't recall if that was after Wilbur died.

In my opinion, they did most of it right.

My favorite story was the one where the army put it out for bids (required process) and there were 3 bidders. One of them tried to win by undercutting the Wrights price - he didn't have a plane but planned to buy one from them and thus make himself a middle man. When the Wrights told him that would not happen, he dropped out and they won the bidding process and indeed sold a plane to the army.

I see some misinformation in the article, and didn't get far enough to see any suggestion of an alternative path. There were hints that selling out would be a suggestion. Cave to "real" business people.

The "minimum" is that you have a (i) name, (ii) dba filing in that name, and (iii) a bank account in that name.

If you are a sole proprietor you can write off business expenses, so that is not a reason to form a corporation.

Software liability is a funny thing and if deliberate wrongdoing or negligence can be proven and they know your address the corporate veil won't stop them from making your life hell.

You probably will need some corporate structure once you get around the size where you are hiring managers.

There is no substitute to talking to a lawyer about this, because it is a broad topic with a lot of details. You don't need to incorporate in Colorado, however, "jurisdictions of convenience" in places like Delaware and Nevada are more expensive.

As for S vs C that is a matter how you file your taxes, not how you register your company (Delaware doesn't know if you are an S or C and doesn't care.)
Netflix has sponsored all this cutting edge research on recommendation engines, and it can predict very well how much I'm going to enjoy something.

The clunkiness of their UI isn't incompetence, it's by choice, right? Or am I missing some important part of their UI that's hiding in plain sight somewhere?

You can expense things for tax purposes regardless of whether you incorporate or not, if they are legitimate business expenses. It goes on your Schedule C either way.

You can be a sole proprietorship instantly on saying "I'm a sole proprietorship." The first form you'd file would be Schedule C the following year. Colorado or your municipality may require a business license and/or a DBA ("doing business as") filing. My business was just myself DBA my trading names for ~6 years, until I started to get clients with employees who had titles like Senior Counsel for Vendor Contracts or Compliance Officer. At that point, having the 2 LLCs just made it much easier for them to do business with me.

You can get your LLC in Colorado if you find that to be convenient. Nevada is also quite popular -- they issue them readily online, maintenance is a breeze, they have no state income tax (you'll pay Colorado's either way but there is zero risk Nevada will attempt to get frisky with you, which is a risk with extraterratorial registrations), and their fees are fairly low. ($325 per year or so IIRC.)

The reason to segregate bank accounts is twofold:

a) (The big one) Having separate accounts makes it much, much easier to retain accurate records on income and expenses, so you pay only the taxes you legitimately owe rather than donating extra money to the USFG because e.g. you forgot a few hundred bucks of SaaS subscriptions on your personal AMEX.

b) (Far smaller) Keeping things firewalled between your personal finances and the business makes it harder to pierce the corporate veil if your LLC ever gets into legal trouble.

You should certainly open a new credit card and use it, and only it, for any business expense. It does not have to be a "business" credit card or issued in the name of your company. You're going to just take the statements from that and hand them to your bookkeeper, saving you hours of pain come tax time.

tell me if there are other perks.

There exists a spectrum of aggressiveness in the small business community on how much they take advantage of this, but: what you think as a natural human is clearly a business expense, what the IRS will invariably sustain as a business expense, and the maximum you could possibly claim as a business expense all have huge swathes in between them.

This is probably only worth a few hundred bucks a year for you, but, for example, your WSJ subscription will invariably be held by the IRS to be a legitimate business expense, on the behalf of any business whatsoever. This essentially means you get to buy it with pre-tax dollars, which is an effective X0% discount.

There are things that are a bit more aggressive. Ask your accountant where the line is. (After you have $10k in revenue, find an accountant.) This is what they're for.
Your overall point is completely correct, but the USSR absolutely did participate in the manned lunar mission race. They just fell flat on their face at the starting line, and so badly that they tried to pretend they didn't even try.

They got as far as building their own moon rocket, the N1. It was comparable in size to a Saturn V, and with an even more powerful first stage. They built six, and launched four. All four exploded or crashed during the launch, by which point it was clear that the race was lost to the Americans and the N1 wasn't practical, so it was canceled.

The legacy from the Soviet manned moon program lives on. The Soyuz spacecraft still used by the Russians was originally designed to be their lunar spacecraft. Engines originally built for the N1 were stored for decades, then purchased by Orbital Sciences for use on their Antares rocket. Unfortunately, the fifth Antares launch crashed due to an engine failure and Antares is now being redesigned to use a different engine.

I definitely hadn't considered the low-margin nature of the TV business.

But surely there's an avenue to starting a platform like this on phones and tablets, with an initial focus on older games appealing to a niche audience.

Once you have a niche, you can expand the service and wait for broadband/video compression to catch up and disrupt the big boys later.
Could we get a less link-baity title?
well, US didn't win anything (= lost it all to CCCP) in "space race", apart from sending manned mission to moon, in which it was alone in the "race" :) (to be fair, that was much harder than just shooting 1 guy to orbit few hundred kms above).

but try to sell that loss to general US public desperate to feel superior and "winning" in sixties, hence the current "opinion", aka self-lie regardless of facts.

The Windows client is bad. Can't speak about the osx one.
Probably because Apple is very concerned about providing a secure experience for their customers. By requiring that all app developers use Nitro they can rest assured that those apps are at least as secure as mobile safari when it comes to browsing the web. If Google was use their own JIT compiler in Chrome for iOS and there was some serious security exploit that affected users as a result do you think users would blame Apple or Google? As far as most non-technical users are concerned, they would likely blame Apple because that's who they bought the phone from.

There is competition in software, btw. You can buy an Android or Windows phone and get a completely different web browser in them.
From my point of view it's exactly not a partial solution, with the UK (and perhaps Germany) sharing data with the US if I e.g. use an UK SaaS email provider. It doesn't make any difference to EU citizens.

NASA's concerns aren't really relevant. Their priorities are set by the geniuses in Congress.

Thanks for bringing Dummont up. All the Wright Brothers built was a glider that could fall from a pillar.

Dummont created the first motorized airplane, which is a look more like a real airplane than an ultra-light that can't launch itself.

And 100 years earlier there was an Italian that came up with a model airplane that would have flown if built to human scale.

I really don't understand why people care so much about the Wright Brothers. I can't see what they invented originally at all.

What's the point if it still has to use the same parts as other browsers on iOS?
I use Twitter this way, to some extent. I consciously try to follow people with different perspectives than me and with opinions counter to my own. Sometimes I end up unfollowing those people if the signal:noise ratio is too high, but over time it serves as a way of introducing me to new ideas and ways of looking at things that I hadn't considered before. And, because of retweets, I'm then introduced to more people with similar perspectives. Once you "seed" your timeline with a few people with different perspectives/opinions than your own, this works really well.

All that to say you can use at least Twitter to intentionally break out of that intellectual isolation that can otherwise be difficult to escape.
Other commenters mention that you've rediscovered an old technique. You still get my props for being clever enough to do that. :) Nonetheless, might be worth digging through any surveys of FSM's now to see what else you might find, eh?

> a diet lower in fibre and higher in protein, fat, and sugar can equally be found in China and Indonesia,

There is absolutely no way there is a diet higher in sugar for the average person in Indonesia and it is extremely unlikely that their diet is lower in fiber. Many people have access to cheap fresh vegetables through wet markets they can walk to and because of the price it is a significant part of their diet.

Hot muslim countries like Malaysia have problems with sugar due to drinking lots of soda but they aren't ahead of the US in sugar consumption per capita.

I pay $100/mo (tax free) for unlimited public transit, which allows easy access to the airport. Most cars cost something like 8-9k just to own per year. You also make higher salaries in the city, and if you have a % 401k match, which doesn't cost you anything, well, that is money in the bank regardless if your expenses are higher.

Not to mention, my commute is 30 minutes or less. One of my jobs my commute was 15 minutes via public transit.

For the love of all things good, why didn't Mozilla adopt the webOS UI instead of the terrible, unscalable iOS UX? Sure, webOS couldn't survive the awful hardware designs and last-generation JITs, but the UI was the best mobile UI/UI to date.

Even at this point, I believe there's a lot of potential that could be gained if Mozilla worked with LG. Mozilla has the web experience and LG has the patents and hardware ability.

I'd go for a $350-$400 LG/Mozilla phone with nexus 5 specs running a new version of webOS in a heartbeat.

I've been in this situation before and I returned the equity because I felt like there was still a lot of work to do. The company ended up selling for $3 million four years later, so I would have make some cash, but I still feel like I did the right thing because I wasn't leaving an angry situation, I felt like they didn't need my expertise after they pivoted.

Ultimately I think reputation matters the most, but if you feel like you are on solid ground here is what I recommend: The company will probably fail, so sell half the shares for a smallish sum and keep the other half in case they really succeed.
I'm actually Chinese and can attest against this. A huge chunk of China relies on wheat as is main grain in the form of noodles, dumplings and steamed buns. White flour is typical for this. Where my family is from, we can't afford much more to flavor our dishes than salt, sugar, vinegar, soy, garlic and maybe something spicy.

I literally don't know what you're talking about, as a Chinese person. Health in China has been getting bad. The reason obesity and other statistics were low compared to other places is because China is very big and there are many places where people are only a generation from starving subsistence farmers.
