Daniel, is it possible to subtract those points from my account? I didn't post it for upvotes.
I always thought Iranians saw Islam as a tradition, not so much a defining aspect of their identity.
I'm sitting at a desk, working on an app that uses the contacts book like you're describing.

Your reasoning is spot on.
> Do you enjoy the misery of others?

That seems like a pretty loaded question.

You have attributed malice to something that may have been an understanding. Liking how a potential buzzword sounds shouldn't (in my opinion) be equated to enjoying the misery of others.

"Unicorpse" is a fun word (in my opinion). Although it might be offensive, it is also fun to say. I don't think the user was showing "glee at the prospect of failure of others" as much as he or she was commenting on how fun it is to say.
I've never used Bitcoin, although was mentioned by its original inventor on a research list once ;).

I have met the founders at Coinbase, and their vibe was more like that of an SF startup that will do anything to "win" and "exit big" than a world change agent. Bitcoin needs the latter, not the former.
I'm not persuaded that it would work to control it more tightly than that. It's always been the way HN works that these things surge up and then get flagged or weighted down. There's a kind of equilibrium in there that we're loth to mess with; asking for too much would be a mistake.

This concern is perennial. I recall having the same debate many times with you and davidw years before I ever worked on HN. And I am happy to report that my view has shifted a lot closer to the two of yours since then! But is there reason to believe this has deteriorated recently? An external provocation (ISIS and Paris attacks) has certainly spiked, as happens quarterly or so, but I don't see that the HN-community-system is markedly different.
"You only truly own Bitcoins if you own the private key for the account"

Here we get into the distinction between ownership and possession. You own coinbase bitcoin the way you own the stocks in your brokerage account. You don't possess coinbase bitcoin the way you possess the dollar in your pocket.

From what I read, it seemed like the French were not given the option to carpet bomb Raqqa but instead got to fulfill a long list of kill orders on strategic targets instead of the usual method of doling them out to different allies to take care of.
Not your fault! Stop worrying about it! Post more things!

I thought the article was interesting too. I just don't like what HN did with it.
Re-using HEVC has very real legal implications. Which will hinder any mainstream adoption.
I don't think they really know. The list of all LivingSocial filings is here: http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=LivingSocial... and the $400M raise filing is here: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1439606/0001439606110... which includes a note that $200M went to "others". But nobody seems to know definitively if those "others" included the founders or if it was just earlier investors cashing out. Given that the egregious cash out by GroupOn's founders had recently occurred I would be surprised if LivingSocial's investors would agree to paying off the founders but stranger things could happen.
So essentially, the most beneficial course here is getting into healthy habits and pursuing loss prevention. I haven't seen much evidence at all that otherwise well nurished and healthy people can raise their actual intelligence, but there seems to be a lot of things which can effectively reduce it, both short term and long. Removing or mitigating these can get folks closer to their potential. I think this has a lot of applications for people who worry about this. Like I've read studies quantifying I.Q loss per day of losing just 1 hour of sleep a night. After a few days parts of cognition can be effected heavily.
It only takes 2 km/s to get to 100 km altitude on a ballistic hop. But the gravity pulls you down.

It takes a 8 km/s horizontal velocity just to stay in orbit. That is in addition to the 2 km/s to just get to the right altitude.

So just by speed ratios orbit is 5x the difficulty of a space hop. In reality rocket scaling is exponential (you need more fuel to carry more fuel...)

Anyway, I do think nowadays "amateurs" actually could build orbital rockets with budgets in the low millions class. Modern electronics and GPS make it a bit easier than a few decades ago.

In my home town of Lynchburg VA the indoor mall just outside of town was on the decline so the nearby Liberty University nearby bought most (if not all) of it and turned it towards classrooms, and other university purposes. There is still a large movie theater and besides not agreeing with many of their principals it's nice to see something not go to waste.
No, it is not "obvious". Jumping to conclusions like this does not help anyone.

No, it's not. I have no expertise in ME affairs, do you? Who is the expert? What country has successfully demonstrated they can "handle it better"?

Yeah, and people died. I get it. But the next guy was elected partially because he wanted to withdraw from Iraq, and we did. Power vacuum. So we go back in and then what happens when we elect someone who wants to withdraw?
No because it's compensation for any good things you posted that got ignored. Like tptacek said, just post more good things!

You didn't do anything wrong btw. HN reacts how it reacts. Having a wide range of stimuli is important; a few lead to madness, but it wears off.

The thing to optimize for is story diversity, because that's what serves the site goal of intellectual curiosity. If you (or anyone) really want to up your game of contributing to HN, scour the Internet for out-of-the-way things that readers here haven't heard of and will get all perky and curious in response to. Those are the best posts and there are never enough of them.

It's nice to see info clear enough for ordinary people to use. It is also nice to see that assumption of their potential to use the information out there too.
Oh, where to start!

So Asana is a todo list. Everything is a task. Tasks are assigned. Tasks can have subtasks. They can also have comments, tags and attachments. The top-level organizing construct is the project; projects have tasks and also team members. Oh, and within a project, tasks have order (something which doesn't really work in practice).

So far so good. Most of the problem with Asana is in the UI. Asana is all about lists. Unlike Trello, for example, Asana only has one view: A vertical list of tasks. This list UI is very much like a classic outliner or even text editor, in that there's almost always a cursor that's editing something. You can use the keyboard to navigate around. This leads to some immediate weaknesses: Since there's usually a cursor, typing something will typically have the text land in some random, unpredictable place. Hitting Enter creates an empty task. So if you're not super careful, your lists will be littered with errand characters and empty tasks.

This information-dense view means there is never a place to "rest". I can't keep a single task open. There's a split screen that allows you to maximize a task, but it's not quite the same. So in Asana, you never feel like you're in a specific location. It's always the list. It's easy to get lost because there's little or no sense of hiearchy, even though the data model is hiearchical. This UI is doubly problematic because Asana is a heavy single-page app (it takes several seconds for it to "boot") that doesn't lend itself to being opened up in multiple tabs. So it's not very web-app-like.

Really, this kind of editor-like "live" UI seems more appropriate for personal todo lists, but not for collaborative ones. In my mind, a task is a kind of mini project, and a task with subtasks is a bigger kind of mini project (usually you use these for multi-step tasks like launches or big features), but Asana treats them all with equal lightweightness. In fact, in your "My Tasks" view (also a list), Asana will comingle subtasks and top-level tasks, making it confusing because subtasks don't carry their context with them — so "My Tasks" will list something like "Add CNAME", which on its own makes no sense, until you click on it and see that it's a subtask of "superproduct.com launch".

There are lots of minor flaws. The editor is horrible — pasting and undo/redo tend to make the cursor lose its place, there's basically no support for pasting code (no syntax highlighting), the keyboard shortcuts are non-standard and weird (they use tab (!) instead of alt or ctrl as a modifier), and you can't turn off the stupid rich text mode (no Markdown). As mentioned, startup time is bad, and the main page loads as a POST, so if you restart the browser, the browser needs to ask if you "want to submit this form", which is bizarre.

The more I talk about, the less I like it. Unfortunately, so far I haven't found any alternatives that look good enough to migrate.
While I generally agree with your comment, I think the one big advantage of private companies over academia is that they're typically much less resource constrained. Academic labs sometimes take huge shortcuts on cost with strange side effects. Often the way to be more rigorous or faster is "have fewer resource constraints" and even a mediocrely funded startup can have much more money than a well funded academic lab. On top of that, the more experienced team members spend a smaller percentage of their time fundraising.
The best part, imho, is that it's Arduino based, so a few years later, when kiddo is old enough to figure that out, ends up with a functional, programmable Arduino device to try and reprogram, thus blowing the lid on the idea that all these devices they're surrounded with are sealed and unhackable.

Teach basic programming concepts at 3, sure... but open the door to hacking everything in the house at, what, 8, 9? Awesome.

Maybe I've been living under a rock, but this is the first time I've seen robust-first computing and this is pretty fascinating. I'm imagining that the application of this to a physical scenario would involve, say, a grid of very low-power CPUs that could each be "taken over" by an atom.

> the risk of these salmon escaping to the wild doesn't sound particularly dangerous to me.

It should. You can think of a GM species as akin to introduce a foreign species to a new environment. Except in this case, instead of coming from some other continent, it came from a lab.

So, how does introducing foreign species go? Often, it's fine. But often, it's catastrophically destructive.

Think kudzu in the Southeast, rabbits and cane toads in Australia, killer bees, carp in the Mississippi, and rats pretty much everywhere they've been introduced.

A new, aggressive species that the ecosystem hasn't had time to get used to can decimate an area and cause species to go extinct before they have time to adapt.
As long as this is labeled as genetically modified, I'm ok with it.

I generally trust the biologists on this subject that don't have a conflict of interest. That said, I'm uninterested in GMO food for my family and we don't eat it whenever we have the power to choose.

How is a 20% scale up going to get you anywhere close to the extra dv needed? 20% on each dimension is still only 70% more rocket, where you need something more like 10x more rocket to make that leap.
Well the marketing material coming out of Makerbot is starting to take on the tenor of panic. Which isn't too surprising given their ill fated attempt at locking up the market for themselves early on. I hope that the lesson learned here is that cutting off the open sharing too early is a recipe for disaster. I note that it was decades before personal computer companies started trying to hide everything. The early IBM PC shipped with the source code for the BIOS in the technical manual for example.

Once upon a time I worked in what later became the "Solutions Experience Laboratory" at IBM Austin (I worked in it physically; I didn't do much there.) The lab had a set of advanced technology demos, one of which was the "kitchen of the future". (I helped set up the "office of the future, said in a deep, announcerly voice.)

Aside from the refrigerator/stove that you could put cold meals in, then connect over the internet to tell to start cooking, one of the best demos was an RFID reader built into the kitchen counter. You could set a prescription drug bottle down on the counter and a system would look up the interactions between that drug and the others that you had been prescribed, to warn you of harmful interactions. It could also warn you (or someone else) if you did not take your prescriptions on time or if you were running low on something necessary. (Honestly, the only thing cooler was the ice cream used to level-out the energy use of the freezer. (Yeah, and that experiment didn't last long.))

There are a lot of possibilities for the IoT, most of which are small, trivial things that could ultimately make a large difference. But mostly it seems set to make the world worse.

The NSA conversation is tiring. The NSA is a powerful agency with billions of unaccounted dollars. It will do what it wants. Why discuss its motives?

Perhaps we could better spend our time ensuring we trust our fellow Americans enough that they would not allow a cancerous facism to spread throughout the "shadow government" of the executive branch. In other words, trust they will look out for our best interests and will resist any movement to establish a tyrannical government.

Why can't we just trust the NSA?

One of the most challenging projects I've worked on was building a Drupal 7 site. I was fresh out of college and had absolutely no Drupal experience. In retrospect, I am confident that there were likely easier ways to do many of the things which I wanted, but at the time everything felt like an uphill battle.

The biggest challenge was the UI; I had to build something against mocks from photoshop, meaning it had to be pixel-perfect and identical to what the client had agreed to. Most contrib modules didn't have a way to easily customize the output (as far as I could tell), so I either had to modify the code of the module to produce exactly what I needed or just write the functionality myself (typically choosing the latter). Had I been working with a Drupal guru there may have been a way to avoid this, but who knows? It seems other commenters have mentioned needing to customize the modules themselves.

This was a very poor experience for me. D8 looks like a large improvement, but I was so thoroughly burned by the lack of clarity and community support that I doubt I will touch Drupal again.
10000% by mass is a more accurate figure and since you like dimensional scaling, that's 364% scaling.

The GoFast Rocket weighs 350kg. Scaling it by 35% (1.35 ^ 3) would make it weigh 861kg. The rocket you mentioned weighs between 30 and 70 _tons_.

I'm not sure you understand how anything works.

This sadly isn't possible in a language at the systems level. If you don't provide an escape hatch then users will just use the C FFI as an escape hatch, which results in far more potential unsafety than Rust's `unsafe` blocks.

There's an intellectually coherent argument that Monsanto should not be able to patent the system of glyphosate-resistence at all. I'm assuming that's where you're coming from.

But I'm not engaging with that argument.

All I'm saying is: the thing that does not happen, but that everyone on the Internet seems to think happens all the time, is Monsanto seeds blowing onto some random field, and then Monsanto suing you when you sell the resulting crop.

Everyone who has been sued by Monsanto has taken active steps to capitalize on their "unauthorized" seeds.
