Does it have a "snooze email" feature, though? The page suggests it doesn't, and that's (IMO) the important part of Mailbox, not just the general interface of it.
Economics interprets law as damage and routes around it. The only way to preserve "net neutrality" is for most people's actual usage to rely on the long tail of P2P or at least P-2-cottageindustry, opaque to the network provider. Once "the Internet" is effectively just centralized "channels" like Google/Facebook/Netflix/etc, it's only a matter of time until business runs its age-old playbook and coalesces power.

What bands are you talking about? The spectrum map doesn't seem to show the wholesale wasting of spectrum you seem to imply, especially in the GHz range which is most useful for cell phones et al.

As you mention police, I'll also point out public service frequencies (Part 90) recently went to 12.5kHz bandwidth (half what hams use) and there is discussion of going even further.

The really legacy allocations like broadcast TV, AM radio, and radionavigation are in spectra that Johnny Startup probably isn't interested in. Data rates are pretty slow at 30kHz.
:) I think a couple of other stuff we do are good too. Like turnaround times and trust me, the quality is great too...
I don't understand why nobody else is able to do it...

Because they don't care, need to, or want to? Google and Microsoft are competing with Dropbox on economics of scale and perhaps as a loss-leader. A lot of people are willing to forgo peer to peer LAN sync or block-level syncing when the cost is much lower. Additionally, both Google Drive and OneDrive have an integrated office suite, which adds value for a lot of people.

Moreover, if you can get away with a weak client, it's an advantage. Someone who has all their data synced to disk can easily switch. Someone who has their data primarily in someone's cloud cannot as easily.
Now suppose they're looking at a really good forgery and they don't yet know that.
I used to like the Nolan chart too, but recently I've been thinking that even 2 axes is overfitting.

Politics is so complicated that only a very simple model has predictive value, even with huge variance. I think a single axis order-disorder is the best we can do to talk in general terms.

To be fair, Starbucks calls their thing a "caramel macchiato". I'm not sure they are fully to blame for people inexplicably deciding that "macchiato" on its own somehow means "cup of caramel sauce".

For the flat white, I understand the concern about sizing, but I can't see it making any kind of sense economically to keep specially-sized cups on hand for this, nor can I see serving it "with room" in an 8oz cup, since they'd constantly get people asking why it's not full. Realistically, pretty much no one is ordering an 8oz cup of anything in Starbucks, anyway. Everyone thinks they need 16 ounces of milk with their coffee. Hard to justify a lot of concern about serving the perfect 5.5oz size when the most common word before "flat white" is probably "grande". And that's not just at Starbucks, but at pretty much any cafe in the US.
The switch to manual mode was much more due to the fatal Red Line accident than it was due to 8 cars.

Either way, it's a symptom of the fact that the WMTA Union has suppressed the number of full-time positions for mechanics to ensure that existing mechanics get plenty of overtime pay. The result is a system where a single mechanic working a 12 hours shift is preferable to two mechanics working 6 hours each and getting something fixed. From the perspective of ANYONE other than the unionized workers, this is not ideal.

Any riders can see the results of this on a daily basis. The escalators remain broken for months on end, and disabled riders end up having to go to entirely different stations because the elevators will remain out for months as well.

I'll paste a link to a publication that I really don't like, but this particular article is actually very accurate.

There's nothing particularly special about a one-legged Merkle tree though. It was around before Bitcoin and it wasn't widely used for much. Without proof-of-work you don't actually have a functioning distributed currency system. What is the point of a blockchain without proof-of-work? What problem does that solve in a uniquely good way? Or are you just saying that banks are so far behind in technology in general that even this (i.e. cryptographically signed transactions) would be a big improvement?

Finland has been in a depression for a while. Their GDP is still 6pc below its previous peak. [1]

Well, it's not about "supports unicode" as much as it's about the level of support. IIRC, I've heard that Tcl had fairly good unicode support (at least for the time), but I have no idea how it compares to some contemporary versions of languages, or Perl 6 specifically.

Whether this meets your definition of "socialism" is mainly a function of how narrowly you define the word. But they were certainly a very economically left wing party.
Minor correction: Not 10 years after you leave, but for 10 years after walking into a US embassy and relinquishing citizenship. Only then, you have the privilege to pay tax to a state you no longer are a citizen of for the next 10 years. For all other US citizens working overseas, you owe uncle sam a tax return every year no matter if it's for 5 years or 50. Only two nations in the world tax their citizens who live abroad. The other one is an African dictatorship.
It's a good time to own property in Finland. If I was a landlord there, say I have about 20% vacancy over the year. After this change, I should expect to have a larger pool of applicants because whether they work or not people now have an extra 800 Euros per month that can go directly to a nicer apartment, or at least to one with 2 roommates instead of 4. Joke's on them, though, I just raise my rent cost across the board by 800 Euros per month (probably less as everyone else will want to try and capture this, including other landlords who I'm competing against) and change it around if it's too high until I get back to my acceptable vacancy numbers but with a bigger profit.

Yes, but there are tons of blockchains that have mining and the same incentive structure, but you wouldn't call them "Bitcoin"? from "simple variations" (Litecoin) to projects building additional features like Ethereum. Bitcoin is only one application using such a blockchain.

It's pretty clear that Dropbox valued Mailbox for its potential to be something other than the standalone email app it was. And you might be right - there might well be enough talent on the Mailbox team to produce $100M+ in value - but not making a standalone email app.

If we're being ultimately generous with Dropbox then what they are doing is exactly correct - taking a team that can create a $100M+ product and reassigning them somewhere that they can fulfill that potential. But that's of scant consolation to all the people that want to continue using the email app.
6 Things Successful and Happy People Never Do
There absolutely is a mutually beneficial interchange between 'terrorists', 'the media' and 'authorities'. Each gets something out of the others existence and would have a much harder time getting their advantages without this assistance. That's also why this whole cycle is so hard to break.

For contrast: during war time there is a blanket ban on reporting 'bad news', successful attacks on ones own troops by the opponent because that is demoralizing or something to that effect. But if it really were demoralizing how come during peace time we amplify attacks way out of proportion? You'd expect that if the media being told to shut their traps would be to the advantage of those governing that this would be a fairly small thing to arrange. Instead we have the opposite, every instance of an individual event gets blown way out of proportion to push those buttons of powerful emotions.

This may be a contrarian view, but: I'm not convinced it's good for the buying company. Good engineers are hard to find, but this is an awfully expensive way to hire; you may not keep the good people for very long; and if you're the kind of company that has a really hard time hiring good people, you may not also be very good at getting engagement and productivity out of the people you acquihired.

My view on acquihires is that to some extent it's a trick the acquiring company plays on itself. Some manager is getting to hire a few good people using money (the acquisitions budget) they wouldn't otherwise have access to.

GamerGate became what it did because the media grew utterly detached with their audience, and a couple of unfortunate events pushed it over the edge and broke the camel's back. You had a bunch of issues with poor journalism before (see, Doritosgate or something similar), a group that was more interested in pushing political beliefs that discussing games and a huge amount of resentment from the audience.

The fact the media covers this sort of stuff in such a biased and often hateful way is symbolic of a press that's become a clique and doesn't represent the population at large.

A few interesting things about this deal.

Keurig is getting a 78% premium over their Friday share price. That's a huge premium. C

The company had a lot of short interest( about 8% which puts it above 89% of the companies on the S&P), so today alot of funds(Einorn is particularly upset) are receiving huge margin calls.

When you claim to not like a stock and someone else asks why don't you short the stock if you don't like it, this is what you point to. Just because you don't like a stock doesn't mean someone else with deep pockets won't love it.

The CEO of Keurig just sold a bunch of shares last week to pay the taxes on his options. Not being able to wait a week cost him close to $1,000,000.

Does anyone else encounter the situation where, when confronted with a challenge to certain ideas, the response sounds like the following: "look it up in the literature" or "you don't understand the basics and therefore you are ignorant"? I have noticed this in particular to do with this ideology of gender etc.

It appears to me that this implies that these ideas are beliefs that rely on faith in the belief and that challenging the belief is considered a sign of ignorance at best and a conscious attack at worst. It seems to me that all a questioner need to do is educate themselves in the correct literature and there would be no need to question anymore. To challenge the belief of faith creates incomprehensibility in the holder of the beliefs as it implies that the belief is not certain and can be open to challenge. Thus the most common reply to a question about the certainty of the beliefs is a urgent request to educate themselves.
Right, but my point was that the whole point of this legislation would be to prevent terrorists from using Tor. In reality, it would do nothing to stop them. Whoever really wants to have a way of communicating over an encrypted channel will always find a method of bypassing measures like this.
This is a good topic to discuss, but terrible article. They are planning on running a test on some basic income schemes[1]. Finland is going through austerity measures and I don't think basic income fits in to current political landscape.

The issue is, we don't know any of the things you've said. (A) We don't know that there was a robbery. [We know that someone said that someone may have attempted to break in to a house; we don't know that it was successful or that anything was stolen or even if the person really was unauthorized. I was once stopped by some guy's neighbors because they knew he was out of town and saw me entering and exiting his house; I had entered with a house key and was filling in for a friend in feeding the guy's cat. Had they called the cops to report it instead of confronting me directly, that sort of description might have circulated.] (B) We know that the police officer followed him for a few minutes before stopping him (he walked a block and a half to a crosswalk after stopping his car, and then he crossed the street), but also that he was walking in the direction of downtown Boston, which is where the officer said that the event took place. Given these I would conservatively estimate at least a 15-minute gap, but it could easily have been several hours. (C) The closest house in that direction is indeed about 200m away from the burrito place he was stopped at, but we have no reason to think that the event happened there and not, say in the mass of houses that are 2km away in the same direction, or possibly past downtown in the many houses in Cambridge. In fact the response that he elicited ("I came from Dedham", more than 10km away in the opposite direction) suggests that the officer was not pointing towards some specific house but rather gesturing wildly in the direction of downtown Boston and Cambridge.

> That said, don't ever use an ISP provided access point.

Why not?
Yeap - It would be really nice to be this way but developing such a feature like "auto-quoting" would really increase the costs. It might be a little bit counter-intuitive at the moment, but hopefully we'll be developing this soon.
> The bandwidth-specific value we're getting from the ISM bands dwarf nearly all other uses.

This is totally true! And it was a "junk" band to begin with. What if they allocated another unlicensed band that had room for 3-4x as many exclusive 802.11 channels as the current one?
By the same logic not shutting it down would result in greater than a $100M loss.

I understand that it can be an interesting mental exercise. I'm just objecting to the underlying assumption that "be" makes sentences inherently unclear or subjective. For exercise, you could instead have excluded, say, every five-letter word, but (hopefully) nobody will claim that five-letter words make English unclear.

It seems to me that E-prime works only because "be" is so common that you're forced to rewrite almost every sentence, yet it carries so little "semantic weight" that all such sentences can be rewritten with a bit of practice.
True, but you do have to be careful of companies taking advantage of the state - think Walmart in the US and how many of their employees still rely on public assistance. Zero minimum wage had the potential to set up a near zero cost workforce if the minimum wage isn't actually enough to be picky with employment.
> Bitcoin, although the largest chain right now, will be a small player in an enormous field.

I don't know how you can say this with any degree of certainty (read: I want your crystal ball). Network effects are incredibly important here, as the security of the system is exactly its total hashing size. Bitcoin has such a head start that I don't see how anything could overtake it without providing incredible new features that can't be implemented even as side-chains.
On the downside, even today, Tcl can't handle characters outside the basic multi-lingual plane. It only does UCS-2, it can't handle UTF16 surrogate pairs. If you convert an astral-plane codepoint, such as some popular emoji, from UTF8, TCL will convert each UTF8 byte into a separate unicode codepoint. There are similar catches all over, it's just not practical to deal with non-BMP codepoints in TCL, even just to round-trip them.

>After all, potential employees would have a better choice.

And I would think employers who are looking for more motivated employees would benefit as well. And I hope the opposite is true for employers who are just looking for bodies at a low cost as the sole factor.

it's unquestionable that radical Islam is an aggressor

Sure, but why stop there instead of going just a tiny bit deeper and identifying the money layer? You'll find it has a lot less to do with religion and a lot more to do with efforts by the House of Saud to maintain an increasingly dubious hold on worldly power. You'll also find a rat's nest of illiberal interests from nominally liberal countries with an interest in their survival. Thus, the broader desire to deflect attention from the very dark and concentrated heart of this to a much more diffuse and amorphous target like "radical islam".

Every time you're tempted to say "radical Islam" try saying "Saudi Arabia" instead. More often than not, you'll find you've hit on the more accurate term.
Show HN: DoIt – stupid simple task management on the command line
I will try to comment in E-prime, the sliced bread of HN today :D.

In Finland, a welfare state indeed, you can quite easily slack off on the social benefits already. If you take up unemployment insurance, you can basically get 18 months of 70% of your salary after you get fired or quit. The insurance (or union membership) costs around 100 EUR a year. A lot of people I know count on this, or already take advantage of it. I see that as a quite big thing, it must drain a lot of money from somewhere if you think about big companies letting people go by big numbers, plus people in 20s or 30s going for one-year backpacking trips.

The 800 EUR probably just makes it more simple for the social system to distribute the benefits. Plus some innovation karma for Finland, yay!

edit: I fogot my main point: even though it feels somehow discouraging to pass money to slackers, I still don't mind paying the high taxes - I haven't found any other reason that makes Finland so nice place to live!
Largely inspired from Zach Holman's "boom" and with some inspection of the implementation details of Ben Tappin's Python port thereof ("bam"), I whipped this up a couple years ago and have found it useful from time to time as a good way to keep track of tasks without breaking context of command-line work.

Because the hardware is often inferior to what you can pick up for ~$200 at a tech store, not to mention the lack of control you get with an ISP AP.
I don't understand how LTE-U is useful for long-range when the unlicensed spectrums have strict TX power limits.
