Well if all those bottom-of-the-barrel jobs get diverted to Gigster and it improves the quality of jobs available on other freelance sites, I'm all for it. Gigster might have a good business model, if they've automated the process of parting those suckers with their money.
1. Order Sweetmaria's sampler. I suggest sampler cause its cheaper after factoring shipping.

2. Order Presto Air Popper. (http://www.amazon.com/Presto-04820-PopLite-Hot-Popper/dp/B00...)

3. Experiment! Sweetmaria's is an awesome resource.
Allow me to say that 3mm thick stainless steel is a great thickness for tons of really heavy duty applications. Thicker is an option, and we regularly do cut up to 6mm but we do this only for custom orders as this would really make handling, shipping and packaging become more expensive. If you need thicker or larger parts, just ask!
I just don't think they had the numbers on Carousel, and maybe not enough growth in Mailbox either. If they were getting users like mad, of course Dropbox would focus its attention on expanding them.
> I find this attitude pretty condescending.

That's fair. When somebody leaps into a discussion without understanding the basics and acting in a way that is basically ignorant denial, I am ok with condescending to them.

The discussion of gender bias and gender equity is a rich and complicated subject. Here on HN, people are generally expected to know something before they open their mouths. I think my condescension here is about 1% of what somebody would get if they were ignorant about language design and still offering similarly bold opinions on languages that they've never used.
I had the same experience. I really liked Carousel. It was a great way to organize my photos, but like you said it totally disables auto-sync.

I was a die-hard Sparrow user when that was killed. I've been using Inbox now since it came out, and it mostly fits the bill. I wish there was a desktop app like Sparrow, but the browser UI is decent. I still have to open gmail occasionally to make filters, but that's all.
You're assuming people understand there's a limited amount of bandwidth available in a given amount of wireless spectrum.
I encourage any students reading this:

While this seems like a great opportunity for some, and not so for others, I urge you to think it over yourself first.

Yes, this could actually be a very good opportunity for the right student to get an internship/possible job in a market that will be extremely hot. It it's a good way for BoE to find students that want to get involved in this industry.

On the other side, please know that this is not the only way. The community in many growing blockchains is very good. There are many resources that are available and free for you to explore your idea and create something new that is actually YOURS.

I'm not saying you should try and do something on your own out of school, it is perfectly okay to get a regular job, and this might be what you want. However it is also perfectly okay for you to not participate and expand on your idea on your own or with partners. There are/will be many opportunities and positions out there in this industry in the near future, this is not your only option.

EDIT: Another interesting point is the time frame which this challenge is allowing. I do not know when it was announced, but I'm assuming based on the timer that, when it started, the time given is 24 hours. It seems odd to me. This is a challenge that should be given more time, especially given how many students are wrapping up their semester and will be heavily involved in projects/finals right now.

AKA Paper --> https://paper.dropbox.com

I don't know if I understand what Dropbox is anymore. It's gone from: syncing file storage --> a decentralized app ecosystem that in some ways competes with PaaS (effectively an OS [1]) --> document and media collaboration tools.

They might be one of the only companies whose products compete with Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon...

Just to clarify, I think they've done all of these things well.

I don't find your "joke" very funny at all, in the aftermath of almost 200 terrorist deaths (in the west) in November alone. GrumpyBen's prescription is not fun and anti-liberty, but so is living in a society being preyed upon by violent groups within it.
Buy Spectrum. They ain't making any more of the stuff. -- Buck Rogers
For perfect trust, sure, but amongst competitors in a same market space you would think that it's more 'imperfect' trust, even with contracts.

If the transactions are small and numerous, it would seem easier to maintain a block chain ledger than managing multiple write points and masters for a decentralized database. I'm not saying it's concrete, but it would be an interesting experiment at least.
Is this Dropbox cleaning up their balance sheet in an attempt to IPO?

There's a pretty loud rumor floating around, heck it was reported on CNBC today, that Dropbox can't come close to IPOing anywhere near its $10 Billion dollar valuation. Though Fidelity did mark them up slightly at the end of November!

And for better or worse, they are going to be closely compared to Box, which has been a pretty big disaster since IPOing. For the record, BOX is valued at 1.65 Billion currently. And it has an awful lot of short interest current( a measure of the ratio of shares sold short vs the total outstanding shares).
There are subtle strokes that are off the chart of what I'd say "an average consumer" might find or look for that are _easily_ identifiable with a small amount of training and effort (I've identified roast or lot changes from my go-to roaster without any prompting or hints from them). I think Starbucks (outside of their Starbucks Reserve store in Seattle) really isn't looking to serve that market -- they're really most middle-of-the-road. In fact, Starbucks is probably getting by on a lot of signalling in that less subtle space.
@softawre: He's asking for it to delete on the receivers side too.

I think certain enterprise-y email solutions have this, but there's no way to have that happen in the distributed email ecosystem unless all your messages were just links to a website that could delete the content centrally, or similarly, jpg's of rendered text that were somehow forced to be remotely fetched each time.
I've read about that before I think it was a good idea but maybe not perfect.

These days quite a few people work only to get on EI they use it as income then work under the table for cash.

If a guaranteed minimum income were to be the same amount as EI + cash that could work but there is no way to police under the table cash work.

One problem I can imagine is in some areas with really low cost of living there may be no incentive to work. You are thinking "But how can someone live on (800 Euros) $1,173 month?". Quite a few people in the countryside of where I live will survive on $5,000 per year that's $416 per month. They get their cheap beer or bootleg beer, bootleg cigarettes or buy it in bulk, grow a garden, fish and hunt. It's a subsistence lifestyle many are used to living.
I believe there was a PlanetMoney podcast about it as well.
Rice never married.
I think your issue is quite deeper than that. Even if God revealed Himself to all humanity or more than one person, there would still be disbelievers. Humans were created that way, and God knows that obviously. We are inherently obtuse creatures when it comes to belief.

How many people should God reveal Himself to in order for others to believe in His existence? 2? 10? 10000? Would people still believe that revelation 100 years later? 1000 years later? How would the revelation take place? God just appears in the sky? Or personally to every human?

Keep in mind that exposure to a supernatural being is a difficult thing to handle for our tiny brains. Or perhaps it flies over our heads, like when you stand among a group of ants.

You might say why doesn't God just appear regularly? That would defeat the purpose of belief. It would be too easy then. Furthermore, I'd wager that we would not have developed as a species. Why try to understand the orbits of the planets when God will just appear in a few weeks? Is there a point anymore?

I guess my point is that the "why personal revelation" argument is a tough nut to crack. If you believe in God, then the answer is simply God knows more. If not, you might need to approach the issue in a more rational manner, instead of just scratch the surface and then dismiss religion entirely.
Not having proper resources isn't a reason to infringe upon the freedoms of the people. If the police can't handle their work, then they should just ignore less important crimes and focus their efforts on the stuff that matters. Otherwise the French government could use a lack of resources as an excuse to silence whoever they want. With a justification like that, they could make arrests for thought-crime.
Ethereum's chain is a mess. It's only burning 25k USD per day, and the project plans to switch off of it entirely. The claim that this project can cure whatever ails you on such a weak foundation is at best dubious, and probably just a scam.
I like the idea of a basic income. It gets rid of the poverty trap and the negative effects seen in the studies so far don't look too bad. I look forward to seing the results of these experiment.

If you make a change like this though, I think a lot of other adjustments logically follow. Adjusting the previous benefits and tax system is a no-brainer. The cost has to be funded somehow. Beyond that though, there are a lot of other regulations and laws that would need to be reconsidered. There doesn't seem any sense having a minimum wage for example if you already have a basic income. It would also seem reasonable to relax some job protection legislation to create a more flexible labour market. In the UK if you quit your job you are not entitled to unemployment benefits, but that disadvantage would be gone. It would be easier for workers to go on strike because they'd still get the basic income. I think it would be reasonable in exchange to reduce the costs to employers making redundancies.

Ask HN: What is the minimum internet speed needed for working remotely?
Just wondering what people think is the baseline internet for working in the tech industry (from home).

Mostly use internet for Google, Email, Slack, screen sharing, Skype, VOIP, occasionally downloading assets from clients for projects...
Well the engraving tolerance is actually placement tolerance and it's a little bit exaggerated. We have seen so complex parts that it's impossible to have it engraved perfectly. Normally, we overlay the actual product outline including the engraving design and it's aligned perfectly. For your application (control panels) sounds to be extremely easy to be perfect.

Each state is a sovereign entity. They have gathered themselves into the United States, which is also a sovereign entity. This structure is called federalism.

Within the boundaries of each state, there are state-level elections. In some state-level elections, like California, citizens of that state can vote directly to pass or repeal certain laws. This is a form of direct democracy.

You are right, I am Ukrainian.
Ukrainian language is easy to parse: in most cases, just chop largest matching prefixes and suffixes from a word until word root will be left. Then suffixes can be used to understand sentence structure, while roots and prefixes can be used to understand meaning.
Parent commenter answered that: "that incentive structure"

The "blockchain" works because all the mutually-distrustful participants' incentives are roughly aligned (in theory). You can't attack the network without spending a huge amount of money on mining hardware, and as long as you're financially motivated you'd be better off just mining (again, in theory)

You could have a "blockchain" without mining, but it wouldn't provide the same properties Bitcoin does, and solutions that give you similar properties to such a system have been around for a long time, and are probably faster and more efficient.

I think banks are now interested in the "blockchain" because of some combination of hype, FOMO, and fundamentally misunderstanding Bitcoin/blockchain.

Regardless of whether the omitted grammatical structure has a name, it's still skirting the intent of E-prime. If inserting the words "which is" has no obvious affect on meaning, then it should probably be a candidate for rephrasing.

Perhaps you could reflect upon why you allowed this subject to deprive you of basic logic skills and make you rather confrontational. Andrew highlighted the areas where the policy had an effect on work. I would suggest that if you cannot dispassionately handle simple logic in a non inflammatory comment that your views may be rather clouded.
It's not a question about the autonomy of body parts, it's the notion "I" am something more than my parts. The parent question is a good one
I have trouble imagining how to answer "What's E-Prime; I've never heard of it." without using the semantics of "to be". And answering that seems to me the primary goal of an encyclopedic article.

If the article starts with "E-Prime prescribes..." I still don't know what E-Prime _is_. Is it a committee? Is it a style guide? (Right now the article says it's a version of English, which, if superficially, at least answers the question).

Yes, this was what I thought too. I understand where this "piping" of functions comes from and that it deemed to be a readability improvement (for *nix users at least), but it is unnecessary because like you've mentioned there already is a way of doing that in C++ and because at least for me the notation is a little bit confusing (as I'm inclined to read it as bitwise "OR" on function's addresses) and requires me to rewire my brain in a counter-C++ way!
Not significantly more than waiting to announce. This is because of SEC rules that require anyone intending to buy more than 5% of a publicly traded company to publicly announce with some time period before actually purchasing shares. These rules were intended to prevent the pervasive private equity pump and dump schemes of the 90's by making it harder to take a company private.

These rules are also pretty heavily blamed for our current problem of outsized CEO compensation because CEOs now rarely have to worry about hostile takeovers.
Well, it would sound as if you are literally translating another language. And people may find you weird.

"and the (im)morality is no different."

Morality is relative, but I don't understand your views on it. If a society is rich enough to give a good life to all their members, is it immoral to do it?

What about keeping a big part of the population afraid of how are they going to pay the rent tomorrow so you have cheap and available workers? is that moral? specially when we live in the richest societies of history?

People that believe in the overwhelmed goodness of markets should investigate a little more history. For instance:
the ten hours bill in the UK (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factories_Act_1847) and how the "laissez faire" crow of the time opposed to "restrict the working hours of women and young persons (13-18) in textile mills to 10 hours per day" because its immorality.
Well, I didn't down vote you so I can't say for sure. But "Gmail on mobile does have a unified inbox" isn't a true statement if you are an iOS user.
I think we need a mesh topology at the network layer in order to really have reliable networks in an emergency. TCP/IP, in my opinion, is an engine that centralizes power: Which leads to choke points and single points of failure for critical systems. This is especially true for most end nodes: I'm out of luck if Comcast goes down.
But this totally negates your point about "there isn't enough money in an email app". Clearly Dropbox thought there was at least a $100MM opportunity...either talent to produce $100MM+ in value, customers to convert into $100MM+ value, or staving off competition that would result in $100MM in potential loss.
I don't think that's what a metaphor is.
While some of the spectrum held by the military would be useful, most of it wouldn't be, same goes for whats currently used for police too. The issue with lower frequency spectrum (say, sub 550 mhz) is it starts to interact with the atmosphere and can result in some off propagation patterns (like tropospheric ducting).

I also suspect that the users of that spectrum (save for the military which has a huge amount of lightly used spectrum) might disagree with you as to how useless their technology is, I mean would you take the spectrum currently held for ham radio operators and sell it off?

Navigation (GPS) is pretty spectrum efficient, so I'm not really sure what you're getting at there.

And what if it's not really clearly attributable? Imagine if there are only problems in areas with particularly high densities of LTE-U users. And even then, the problems could be sporadic, resulting in occasional wifi disconnects, or generally slower speeds. Wifi service wouldn't be "single-handedly broken," but service quality would definitely be degraded. And consumers won't be able to explain or prove why it's happening, so they aren't likely to get out their torches and pitchforks.

Because big employers are against it. Because it gives more leverage to labour, diminishes labour competition and raises the overall cost of labour, i.e. wages. And of course big employers have lots of political power.

What big employers rather prefer is EITC which is a rather blatant way of getting the tax payer to subsidize their cost of labour.

And these days governments are forbidden from doing anything in house. They are forced to contract everything to the lowest bidder in the private sector because the logic goes that it's cheaper that way.
