I remember my father talking about Internet Mahir when I was kid. We were so curious how a random guy from our hometown became so famous, and got the key of the internet. Internet Mahir contributed to my life that way. My father began buying magazines about computers, those magazines would give lots of CDs that we hold and ask "what do they do with this?". Then my father went to Istanbul for funeral of my uncle, and came back with a desk, designed for computers. We didn't have a computer but there was the desk. A few years later, we bought a computer, and internet connection to our home. First website we visited was "ikissyou.com" and then I was trying to make one for me and my brother. Thanks to Internet Mahir, I have a job now.
I've never been in a Tesla which squeaked, had large gaps, or poor stitching. Nor have I seen a review complaining about those. What I have seen is an occasional review like "I prefer BMW-style interiors"

Infrared is a wide band though, 0.7µm-1mm.

It looks like LIDAR products typically operate in the near-infrared, with two products I picked at random operating at 905nm[1] and 850nm[2]. They'd want to pick bands that are invisible to humans, ones where laser diodes exist that can be modulated, and ideally bands that suffer minimal attenuation from environmental factors like water. NIR meets those criteria pretty well.

If Federighi wants Swift to be pervasive (scripting, mobile, cloud, desktop) it would make sense to integrate with tools commonly used with operating systems deployed in the datacenter / cloud.
I don't see any evidence that the cycle has gotten faster. There were plenty of mayfly wonders on YouTube years and years ago, and the Internet had its memes well before. It doesn't look much different to me over the past decade, (Have aggregators like Fark, YTMD, SomethingAwful, 4chan, really sped up? The list is so long: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_phenomena If we looked at knowyourmeme.com's lists and the Google search histories, I don't think we would see much of a speedup. Memes would still be born and die on similar timescales.)
To be fair, how would you expect him to talk after a decade of people pretending not to understand him because they don't like his message?

Even though it's almost nine years later, every day there are so many white people leaving comments on the Chocolate Rain video pretending not to understand what he's talking about that you'd think it was our national sport.
>Rents will eat up every last dollar of UBI, and we'll be back where we started.

eh, in high demand areas, yes, that much and more. I think the difference is that a big part of why people live in high demand areas is that they need to do so in order to find work. If there's good work in an area, rentiers can jack up the price of the temporary use of their capital goods. This is where we are now.

But on the other hand, with a UBI that was sufficient to live in a low-demand area, you'd see a lot more people moving to low demand areas. And there are a lot of low demand areas, making jacking up the rents on those places harder.

Many of the mechanisms landlords use to jack up prices (for instance building code restrictions that vary from the standards) are not practical in rural areas, and others, like restrictions on density, are not necessary. If you don't need to live somewhere you can commute to work, fifty grand will buy you a house, septic, and a bit of land.

Also, there are a lot of what you call rentiers - there need to be because jacking up pricing requires democratic support for restricting new housing, and this is usually an issue that votes on naked self-interest.
This brought up so many memories...funny to think of how many of our lives' funniest moments are what we saw on YouTube.

A few other memes I thought of worth including:

- re Bloomberg's sign-language interpreter, the interpreter at Nelson Mandela's memorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hCdtUxnOG8

- Aleksey Vayner, who posted a video resume titled, "Impossible is Nothing", and then later committed suicide: http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/aleksey-vayner-death-video

- Guy Goma, who was at the BBC to interview for an IT job, but was mistaken for another guy (with the name "Guy") who was scheduled to give a tech pundit interview, and so had to improvise answers relating to an Apple pundit dispute. He ended up not getting the IT job but got a bit famous anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5evS-ApSNQ

- This was one of the first times when YouTube, as a platform, really blew me away: this mystery guitarist who rocked out to Pachelbel's Canon: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5725826

- One more music-famous-meme: the drummer is at the wrong gig...always brings a huge laugh to me, and got this guy some nice gigs, including an appearance on The Office: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItZyaOlrb7E
>anti-intellectual culture

I agree- I really wish there wasn't such a stigma against, as you phrased it, "five-dollar words". I love reading older writing because (maybe without the internet and things like /r/iamverysmart?) they seem drastically less afraid to say exactly what they want to, in the way they want to.

There's also an anachronistic charm to them I guess, but I think the word-choice-freedom is still a big factor.
The article is about how different countries and demographics have fared over the last few decades of globalization. Countries like Brazil and China have experienced massive relative increases in wealth while other wealthier countries (who also happen to firmly be on the free trade bandwaggon) have stagnated or declined.
I set up an alarm clock for "detox" every day. I turn off my computer, silence the mobile phone and do nothing but read for hour or two. Resist any temptation to check email.

I've enjoyed this article that was recently on HN http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/29/opinion/sunday/addicted-to...
I did two things:
1) Create (initially, force) a routine: everytime, read for 30~60 minutes before you sleep. Do that even if it is late and you're tired.

2) Try to use small moments of free time. As an example, if I have more than 30 minutes of free time, I read some pages of a book.

If you stop to think about it, you are probably going to remember recurring moments in which you had 30~ minutes of free time. Instead of using it to read Hacker News or browse Facebook, read something. Commuting is a great example.

I am fascinated by your theory that there was less prejudice a few decades ago. This graph, for example, does not look like a graph of increasing prejudice:

http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2014/10/21/357629765/when-...

I read that as decreasing systemic bias in education. At least in law, medicine, and physical sciences.
The alternative that most people will think of first are glass bottles, which are significantly heavier. Transport of bottled liquids is already weight-bound, so if you make the packaging heavier you'd need more trucks to transport the same amount of bottles.

Australia to exempt startups from capital gains tax
I am (white, Christian) French. I don't support the "minute" of silence. It means there is a full range of opinions which lead one to not recognizing the minute of silence. I'll detail my opinion for an example, but many other opinions must be respected too.

1. We don't do a minute of silence for 300 ppl per month who die in car accidents. Nor for 200 per fortnight for passive second hand smoking. The characteristics are the same: They're innocent, they're taken away suddenly in atrocious conditions, and they're taken at random.

2. A minute of silence, whether you like it or not, is a political gesture. The more we do a minute of silence, the less there will be opposition to repressive actions by the gouvernent. Look: the law says the Etat d'Urgence is limited to 15 days, they've extended it to 3 months and they want to extend it to a Permanent Etat d'Urgence.

3. We don't listen to terrorists. They may be protesting against very legitimate things with a very similar number of crimes. As a citizen of the occident, I am collectively responsible for Guantanamo and Irak and Palestine and all wars that have destroyed the future of youngsters in those countries. Who's to say I should do a minute of silence for the French and not for the Palestinians or Iraqis who have been subjected to torture?

4. A minute of silence will encourage France to perform war. Terrorism cannot be won with war. We're just destroying someone's land in a country where I don't know the cultural situation. 100% sure we are creating tomorrow's terrorists.

5. Those terrorists? They were born in France. It's a failure of our social system. We are racist, we don't give them enough future economically. I once was an Australian immigrant: When there's huge bucks to be made, there's no time for subversion.

6. France is in economic dismay. Hence the difficulty of the youth to earn enough for an optimistic living. Hence please don't send an aircraft carrier, we're digging our debt, if not or grave. With two billions, let's hire teachers and lower our taxes on wages so we can get more jobs.

7. Let's not give the terrorists what they wanted: Everyone is impressed by the violence, so during the next 10 years well start to think it's normal that all concert halls have to have x-more entrances. Those will have a huge cost on culture. We'll say it's normal to implement stringent security measures, without looking at the cost. I bet people will even use it as an excuse for everything: "Because of security measure, you are required to ditch your bottle of water, pay per card, hire the official coach instead of walking there, ...". A minute of silence today, and during 15 years any objection to everyday security will be frowned upon.

I don't support the terrorists. But I don't support government-sponsored minutes of silence either. And I say this as a white, male, French, conservatist person.
Contrary to my paranoid reading of the title, I get from the article that the CDC does not individually track wireless-only households. They are apparently just looking at aggregate statistics. However, I do wonder whether they retain any individualized data.
Just give me proper Vim support in XCode and I'm happy. For now.
While I am simptethic to the notion that social "POLICY" should not be set by logical arguments alone. Social "SCIENCE" is another animal and logic and sound science is the only way to understand reality. How can we hope to design effective social policy if we refuse to try and understand reality? What are we misunderstanding about logic? I find your comment about misleading the reader especially ironic.

Splitting a resource into multiple parts and embedding in into a single message in order to avoid external storage and the need for locking is an interesting approach, but sadly not an option for me. Nevertheless, I appreciate your response.
That's very strange. I called 911 about a motorcycle accident a couple months ago. I was on the freeway and not sure exactly where I was, I said something like "101 somewhere between LA and the valley? I don't know I wasn't watching the exit signs." They were immediately able to locate me, I assume from my phone's geolocation, and CHP was there in minutes.

From everything I've heard, RK07s were ... subpar. I'm not surprised one failed like that. RL02s were meh, but they worked, the first system I was responsible for had 1 or 2 of them.

I asked because the RA81 which was released in 1982 was, in MIT's Project Athena experience, awful, they had some sort of problem with glue, and they were losing 1 a week out of a population of no more than 40 drives (!). But it sounds like they were more careful, more lucky, whatever with the earlier RM80s, which I don't remember hearing anything bad about.
The flood-fill tool seems a little slow. It seems like it is doing something much more complicated than I would expect (simple breadth-first search) - and I get some weird results with different brush sizes.

Correct. The large technology companies that shape the world are indicating their preference and shift towards an IPv6 world, yet you still claim that you see no benefit? You don't want to be on board with them?
My reply was taking into context their other post in this thread. Perhaps it would have been better suited as a reply to that comment though...
> Biggest Internet companies are in advertising or catalog merchant business that started in late 90's or early 2000's

Not entirely true, they are not just in advertising or catalog merchant business: Uber, Airbnb, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Priceline.com, Netflix, Palintir, Salesforce, Workday, PayPal

LinkedIn for example is a $31 billion market cap business social network, that is still growing its sales 10% quarter over quarter.

Google and Amazon, which are the only two examples that stand-out for your reference, are old Internet businesses. Naturally they would be larger than a company founded five years ago.

Regarding the early 2000's... who would expect a ten year old business to be worth $200 or $300 billion? Since when can you create such large businesses faster than that? Point being, of course the biggest Internet companies come from that time or earlier, they would inherently have to.
"Some of the company’s prized purebred birds can now add a pound of weight for every 1.2 pounds of feed consumed"

That's great news. Also compared to cows, chickens emit much less methane and other greenhouse gases, especially if their manure is handled properly. Not to mention they're working on breeding to improve that. And given it takes only ~ 30 days to raise a chicken, that reduces overall energy consumption running the farm.

But I think WSJ understated how healthy a vegan diet is, aside from lacking B-12.
It is certainly possible that you have lost the ability to focus, but why not try this much more straightforward explanation first: you didn't like the last couple of books you've read, which is why had trouble finishing them. It is absolutely not uncommon to go from "ugh, I'm not in the mood for this book" to "hmm, this story just doesn't seem to be going anywhere" to "well I could've written something twice as good as this" before hitting on a book that aligns with what you're interested in reading at that very moment. Try to read something different. Follow recommendations from other people. Don't read something because you feel you have to.
We're just living with the consequences and are used to them.

The result is inflation. Before new waves of immigrants and women joined the workforce, a single salary had more purchasing power. The effects are offset by certain goods becoming cheaper because of increased production. But other goods require two salaries when they previously required one. And people don't have savings, they have credit which makes up most of the purchasing power, trading it off for indentured servitude.

Salaries have not kept up with profits since the 1970's, but if they did there could just be inflation, not an increase in purchasing power and economic independence. Current regional salary bubbles around Silicon Valley and NYC cause regional inflation, particularly in housing. Its supply is limited by laws and tech. Same old tech housing is not a good that adds anything new to the economy.

If those workers want to enjoy the full benefits of their salaries in the form of goods, they have to save up and move to cheap boring areas. Such consumption is physically or emotionally impractical. I guess that's where Hyperloops come in.

Basic income could also lead to inflation. It's unprecedented and will have weird new consequences. The expectation with adding more workers was that more people would have economic freedom. The result is fewer people enjoy economic freedom, the middle class shrunk so more people have to work. If basic income doesn't remove a large percentage from the workforce or new sectors aren't added, the result will again be inflationary.

Kickstarter is economic freedom now.
IPv6 traffic is much slower. In my case (I use Miredo client), link to Portsmouth, ServerHouse, GB is up to 30Mbit by IPv4 but no more than 1Mbit by IPv6.
Your example is probably correlation, not causation. Median incomes in the US stagnated at the same time as more women entered the workforce, but that does not mean that the latter caused the former.

Stagnating or declining middle-class incomes in the US is probably caused by (1) exporting manufacturing jobs to Asia, and (2) weakening organized labor. It may also be caused by (3) deregulation which increases the share of income going to capital and decreases the share going to labor.

If you look at the experience in Canada during the same time, median incomes grew faster than in the US, even though Canada was also adding women to the workforce. This is probably because Canada did not weaken organized labor as much as the US did.
I miss the Palm days. They did so much right, it was really sad watching it all go wrong. I did a lot of software work for the ill-fated Foleo. It was such a nice device when they first started working on it, but just so badly managed and delayed that it was outdated before they even announced it.
I am glad you find my stuff useful enough to recommend it to other people! Thanks.

I just wanted to point out a minor detail: I am an ex-V8 engineer - I have not been working on V8 since 2012.

Yah, I understand it's not always an option.

If the data size is limiting though, you can embed a Redis key or Hadoop FS reference into the message, rather than breaking your message system with massive data.

Then, you can have the storage system listen for completion messages, and cleanup appropriately. Or, like we did, just shove out old data LRU style. This way some history is always available for debugging.

Not the OP, but my own emacs development MO is to run a persistent shell buffer and bind F8/F9 to send make/run commands. I think that would work with your use case.

You'd still keep a synced code folder since you have to run the swift completion daemon on your local machine.
More people per square foot makes the real estate more valuable. It also seems to appeal to "efficiency" but outside of people commuting a long time by private car, I'd be hard pressed to buy into that.

At its core, the idea is that human muscle power is somehow more efficient than machines, something I'm pretty categorically set against. :)
I like your point about having designers a the particular platforms UI tool/system. It's sad though that they can't learn a platform agnostic tool so that skills are more shared and portable across platforms. So I like this kind of solution for tackling that. Also, making it easy for designers to mockup interactions in more than just series static mockups is much better for articulating their designs. This is why so many design prototyping tools are coming out of Facebook, Apple, etc these days. Having it online, collaborative, and platform agnostic seems like a strong basis for a successful production provided they can provide tooling to make it easy to use on popular platforms. I think an embeddable UI runtime you can drop into projects would be the ideal technical approach.

How do you know if you don't have IPv6 endpoints?

> that's what is the thinking process for many, many people that have small web services or websites.

And those sites will continue to be small with that kind of thinking.

> When the time comes I will enable IPv6

The user stats show that the time is now. What kind of signal are you waiting for?
Yes, this is a different project, although they are related. Push Stream is a fork of my Nginx HTTP Push Module, so they both descend from the same original codebase. Push Stream uses a blocking concurrency model, whereas Nhan is completely non-blocking. In theory, this means Nchan should scale better. In practice, I haven't benchmarked it heavily enough yet to see a divergence.

Besides that, nchan and Push Stream offer different feature sets. For example, Nchan has horizontal scaling and persistence through redis, whereas push stream has customizable message transforms. There are other differences as well, but that would take a whole article to elaborate. I should probably write it soon.

> Try looking for ISPs whose main business is hosting and business lines, for which home users are just a side business ;)

First of all we're reaching the point where we basically discuss a tiny part of the overall space and as such this is not even relevant to the original point any more.

Secondly, the ISP you named (TNG) does not appear to even give out blocks for customers.
The main differentiator and focus of the post is "we're making this run in the browser". But nowhere does it explain why that's better for designers. You don't need it to power collaboration features.

This echoes Asana and a lot of the "HTML native" product efforts. Which have mostly failed as a technical approach and resulted in a return to platform native apps.[1] What's different this time?

Meanwhile this prompts amazed reactions from folks who are technically impressed with how far it pushes the browser. But that was the case with prior HTML native efforts too. It distracts from a critique of the actual product features.

I'd like to see a more head to head comparison with popular tools like Sketch. Maybe the built in team collaboration is better than, say, a companion app like Zeplin. But the implementation details don't really matter to customers.

Interesting, I'll read through this. Nchan code is quite modular, so it would be pretty easy to add some kind of negotiation like this. Let's talk more.
