It's not so much a hard rule as a "lint" warning for your language. If you're reusing the same adjective, either you're failing to distinguish between things or you should just delete subsequent uses of the adjective. For nouns, consider using "it".

Doing the opposite correctly is a powerful rhetorical technique: "by the people, of the people, and for the people".

Does the second point matter any more? Most of the big engines I'm aware of make portability to all three (or even five) platforms effortless, so there's really no excuse to not having a version for each platform any more...

If I can't get a suggestion from DuckDuckGo or Google's instant answers, lately I've been going to Wiktionary. Surprisingly comprehensive, given I thought it was a neglected Wikipedia spinoff.

On a side note, Wiktionary would be 10x as useful if it was structured somehow, rather than being strictly formatted text.
Beside this, Firefox is not really welcomed (and a drop is planned eventually) on F-Droid because it's really complex to build, depends on some closed source libraries (Google Play Services, for example) and has lots of tracking in it (everything is at least opt-out as far as I can tell, but the guys behind F-Droid aren't really keen on any kind of tracking it seems).

It's possible to build it without those problems (see Fennec on F-Droid in fact), but it takes a lot of time for someone to create a recipe, and it's prone to break on every upgrade (and that's why the last version of Fennec on F-Droid is based on Firefox 40).

I don't know if/how many of those problems apply on Firefox OS (I guess at least the complex build environment applies), but that's likely why you'll not find it on F-Droid anytime soon. Unless someone decides to pour lots and lots of energy into this.

In the worst case pawns can be quite demanding - because of underpromotion - there can be up to 12 moves available to a pawn - more than a knight or a king. Of course it is possible to design a scheme where moves take a variable number of bits - I discuss some promising methods in the article. But you will always need 8 bits for some moves (information theory says so) and the beauty of my "sweet spot" scheme is that it simple and quick, whilst still offering reasonable compression.

Firefox finally comes to iOS
I'm really hoping that Firefox OS will save us from a future overtaken by walled gardens, save the mobile web that apple and google have less and less incentives to support. But unfortunately so far adoption has been nominal from mayor manufacturers, I understand this "trojan horse" approach even if it seems to defeat the purpose. The world needs a mainstream open mobile device, fingers crossed.

It sounds like this consideration was already made. Only some of his equity was fully vested up front to reflect prior work - presumably the remainder of his equity was vested on a schedule (which at half a year he'd be entitled to none of most likely).

If the above is true, then it would be inappropriate to re-examine what amount of equity is fair.
Many good games do not use unity/unreal, as whilst they are packed with features, they are at their core flawed. Many people build their engines tailored to their game, in order to get the best performance. In those cases it is 'effort' to port to Linux, as with any other platform. If steam machines don't flop then I expect Linux porting will become more mainstream and the process easier.

Yeah I know that these are old drives, we've done this testing about year and a half ago and when we started renting servers more than 5 years ago, we didn't think about which SSDs are in there. At that time we didn't have an option to choose, nor time to think about the implications of different SSD models, we used what we got. Later on when we grew and started having problems, we started investigating what models we should use. The main reason for writing this article is for people to be aware that they should test their drives and how to do it.

I'm not sure that you could say that RAID controllers are a placebo - I've been through multiple hard disk failures that either hardware or software RAID has enabled a graceful recovery from (with no data loss).

As for whether or not it's superior to ZFS, though, that's a tricky question. High-end hardware RAID gets you a lot of neat features that you don't find elsewhere, but it's expensive and the RAID controller itself tends to become more and more of a point of failure (always keep spares, especially if they go out of manufacture!)

Seems pretty inexcusable to release SSDs that get corrupted on power off.

These drives are defective, and they should refund customers for the SSD prices, plus some hefty compensation for the potential data loss they could have or have caused.

As I had remarked, a good RMS meter on a known impedance, on a frequency it's spec'ed for. The setup shown is neither.

Also: For low-level AC measurements you invariably need active rectification. So your meter will never be directly connected (or through a series resistor) to the source.
Another interesting example is Stuart Gulliver, CEO of HSBC when they were fined 5 weeks of income for laundering money for Mexican and Columbian drug cartels. HSBC lawyers persuaded prosecutors "not to indict HSBC, the London-based bank, on charges of vast and prolonged money laundering, for fear that criminal prosecution would topple the bank and, in the process, endanger the financial system." Gulliver was not tried for any crime after helping launder money for literal mass-murdering drug lords in a country where people are jailed for possession of marijuana. Given the dynamics of the situation, it's troubling that he was able to do that.

Agreed.

The guts of that meter register 37uA for full scale (I found some specs), at 10V that's an internal resistance of 270K so probably it really is driving the meter directly.

For 8 V that translates into 0.25 mW of power produced, which I don't think will be charging any cell-phones.

Yes possible. It's possible my $2 lottery ticket will also be worth $100m but until it is, it is still worth only $2 or maybe even less.

Yes, devices are becoming more hostile to the use, I agree with most of your points. However, I don't think that there is a pure technical solution (open firmware updates etc.) as it depends on technical expertise of the users. Instead, we should support non profits and b-corps which can be trusted by users.

Ask HN: Do you whiteboard?
I notice that most of the younger people I work with (20 somethings and I'm 40 something) do not feel comfortable drawing out ideas on a whiteboard. Is this a generational phenomenon?

Great article, reminds me of several things:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlite : An amazing material, apparently. There was a BBC show where it protected an egg from a blowtorch. Unfortunately the guy who made it was extremely protective, so we'll never know quite what it was or whether it was really as effective as it seemed.

- I had a long discussion with my old partners about whether trading models should be kept secret. The big problem is that once you've decided you've got something - and over short periods, it may well look that way - you start to think you can walk on water. I still wonder which way round the causality is. Did we keep everything secret because we thought we'd found a goldmine, or did we think we were brilliant, and the secrecy was a way to flatter ourselves? In any case, once people develop the attitude that they are better than everyone else, it becomes very hard to get any new ideas in there.

- Once you decide your edge is in some kind of knowledge, rather than some kind of execution of a business plan, you are going one way only. Sure, you need some knowledge, but you'd better believe other people have that knowledge as well. There's only one principle involved in steering a plane: change its shape. But there's a HUGE number of ways you can do that, and a huge number of ways to shape your business to explore those ways.

- It seems the patent system was broken a hundred years ago, and it hasn't been fixed. For me the main issue is it causes people to have idea fixation: the idea that ideas are somehow more important than everything else in a business. There's a whole list of interesting things to say about patents as well, but I'll stop here.
"Although Brewster patented the kaleidoscope in 1817 (GB 4136), a copy of the prototype was shown to London opticians and copied before the patent was granted. As a consequence, the kaleidoscope became produced in large numbers, but yielded no direct financial benefits to Brewster. It proved to be a massive success with two hundred thousand kaleidoscopes sold in London and Paris in just three months."

These days you should promote any invention as soon as you get patent pending. But I can see why Wright brothers we're suspicious back then.

Other major failures we're early concentration to military sales and not taking competition seriously. Military sales are take it or leave it, you either win big or nothing. If some conservative major gets assigned to deal with the purchase and you are sellign something really new, the sale might be doomed before you start.
Well, I've been in most parts of Asia quite regularly except for China and Japan, and WhatsApp has been absolutely everywhere. It's in the U.S. where it has not really caught on, at least most of my friends there have never heard of it.
If they are guaranteed to at least get their money back AND they did a 25% write down, then they are assuming that if there was a liquidity event tomorrow, that that would only get back $0.75 on the dollar, and others less senior get $0. This means that SnapChats valuation mark-to-market price is only $462M because that is all they feel that could be recouped.
I just tried and I could post that link without problems (full URL with "http://")
With so many hundreds of millions people in Asian countries using Whatsapp, it's quite surprising that more governments aren't complaining about Whatsapp's encryption. Iran just complained about Telegram and it doesn't even have end-to-end encryption by default as Whatsapp is supposed to have. I think that should tell us something about Whatsapp's E2E encryption (which again, the team has never even officially said it's using).
There is nothing that makes SSDs with power loss protection inherently expensive. As always, it's just market segmentation...

A large supercap in the 100-200mF range for an SSD is around $1 or $2. In fact you can implement power loss protection with less capacitance with regular tantalum caps like the Intel 320 did (http://www.storagereview.com/intel_ssd_320_review_300gb). But drive manufacturers see the consumer market doesn't care about power loss protection, so they decide to scrap the feature, which saves a buck or two, and saves some PCB space.
Mega farms typically have lower distribution & transport costs too. Hundreds of miles in a semi-trailer uses less gas per pound than 50 miles in a pick-up.

It's all background noise compared to the gas used to go from the grocery store to your home, though. If you drive further to get to the farmer's market to get local food...

In this case you aren't using any gas to get your food. That doesn't automatically make it less carbon-intensive, though. Producing the equipment, driving to get required inputs, it all adds up.
You sure feel a lot, but do you actually know something? Have you read the article? JustEat approached this very methodical and have gotten some great results from it.
