It's not in any way a physical limitation that Dart is slower than Java. It's just somewhat harder to make fast, and even then, some of Dart's design is motivated by being able to implement the language efficiently. [1]

Dart could even in theory have a compiler that assumes all your type annotations are correct and simply AOT compiles your code. (So your workflow would be: develop -> fix type errors -> run in regular VM -> loop -> AOT compile -> deploy.) Whether that would be useful is another matter, but it could certainly be possible (some Common Lisp implementations in fact do exactly this [2]).

>>yes I would want to discuss the service first but I am going to want an idea of what its going to cost to put that into my budget/grant/etc to see if it fits

That's the thing though: it's an extremely wide range. For example, anywhere from $25,000 to over $1,000,000. It's impossible to say upfront whether it will fit your budget.

The reason we take a consultative approach (as opposed to a traditional sales approach and leading with the price) is because we want you, the customer, to control the scope of the project. We work with you to understand your requirements, then prepare a preliminary proposal and SOW with the price. You can then say, "well, this is a bit out of our budget, but maybe we can postpone features X and Y until the next phase" and we go back and forth until the final scope and associated price are acceptable to you.

I can't disclose our ratio of RFP submission to customer. But the thing about RFPs is that they are rarely objective. In the vast majority of cases, the client's preferred vendor helps the client write the RFP. And in a lot of cases we end up being that vendor, because the clients trust us after seeing our methodology.

Maybe, maybe not. A print newspaper was filled with a lot of stuff that was not high-quality news reporting: features, opinions, "local color," comics, horoscopes, crossword puzzle, sudoku...and of course a lot of ads. Classified ads, help wanted ads, a "car reporting" section with car ads, a "real estate reporting" section with real estate ads, a "travel" section with travel ads, an "entertainment" section with entertainment ads, plus ads next to news stories, and regular coupon inserts.

A reputation for great reporting really depends on great reporting, not the proportion of great reporting to the rest of the content. The Watergate stories--which to a large extent made the reputation of the Post as a top-notch national newspaper--ran next to a lot of the things I list above.

More recently, the Post was one of the first publications to run stories based on the Snowden documents, and broke stories about problems at the Secret Service.
I'm always a bit skeptical of these claims, given that as far as I can tell, at least three to four years of the K-12 "education" are completely wasted on repeating old material. I don't even think it's a matter of intelligence: we can do a bunch more with the non-gifted children than we even attempt.

Hell, I've heard of professional adults not knowing how to use a linear function to estimate basic financial costs from a baseline and a per-unit cost.

The intellectual standards we expect from people are appallingly low compared to what they're actually capable of.
If you will indulge a classic HN tangential thought, this has me suddenly wondering about the sociological phenomenon of mentally reading things in a voice you associate with the text. There's something about the way Futurama is written and produced that seems to make it a particularly potent example (you've probably seen the Farnsworth "now you're reading this in my voice" meme), and this transrcipt excerpt works particularly well. I wonder why that is?
Not sure I understand. Can you elaborate?
I have no problem with this, but it doesn't work very well for me.

Tried about eight of my email addresses. School and work ones did nothing, and neither did my Outlook.com account, or Yahoo.com.

For Gmail addresses it just pulled the name from my Google+ account for the one that had it, and failed on all the rest.

Per the CSI Aviation Services case:

The term refers to a commercial transportation enterprise that "holds itself out to the public" and is willing to take all comers who are willing to pay the fare, "without refusal." BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY 226 (8th ed.2004). Some courts have allowed that holding out on an all-comers basis to a limited segment of the public might be enough to qualify as a common carrier. See Woolsey v. Nat'l Transp. Safety Bd., 993 F.2d 516 (5th Cir.1993) (concluding that an air carrier had acted "as a common carrier" in offering services pursuant to negotiated contracts to members of the music industry because it had "held itself out to the public or to a definable segment of the public as being willing to transport for hire, indiscriminately"). But whatever the particular test, some type of holding out to the public is the sine qua non of the act of "provid[ing]" "transportation of passengers or property by aircraft as a common carrier." 49 U.S.C. § 40102(a)(25), 41101.

Flytenow would satisfy the requirements here as the pilots on the site HELD OUT to a DEFINABLE SEGMENT OF THE PUBLIC and were willing to TAKE ALL COMERS WHO ARE WILLING TO PAY THE FARE. There is no mention of profit. The argument of whether or not profit is a requirement is an interesting one but, ultimately, is not relevant due to the below.

In addition, you misrepresent the Court's ignoring of the question by quoting only a portion of the text:

In its reply brief, Flytenow raises a new line of attack
against the Interpretation, contending that it must be set aside because the FAA’s definition of common carriage
contravenes the common-law definition. “Ordinarily, we will
not entertain arguments or claims raised for the first time in a reply brief.” Forman v. Korean Air Lines Co., 84 F.3d 446, 448 (D.C. Cir. 1996). As we have explained, considering
such arguments “is not only unfair to an appellee, but also
entails the risk of an improvident or ill-advised opinion on the legal issues tendered.” McBride v. Merrell Dow & Pharm.,
18 Inc., 800 F.2d 1208, 1211 (D.C. Cir. 1986) (internal citations omitted).

In its opening brief to this court, Flytenow did not contest
the FAA’s definition of common carriage. To the contrary, it
invoked the FAA Advisory Circular’s articulation of the
FAA’s understanding of common carriage. See Br. of
Petitioner 6 n.6, 11, 25. Thus, in its response, the FAA did
not defend its Interpretation on the ground that its definition of common carriage is in keeping with the common law, aside from making passing reference to a decision in this court that noted the common-law pedigree of “common carriage.” See Br. of Respondent 30 (citing CSI, 637 F.3d at 415). We therefore do not consider Flytenow’s argument that the FAA’s decision contravenes the common law. That argument is forfeited.

As you can see, the question is ignored because Flytenow was attempting to append the argument after the fact. If Flytenow had argued the common law definition originally then the Court may have had to rule in a different manner.

In other words, the Court got it right and Flytenow screwed up.

And while I'll concede that things like their cameras are great, the only reason certain things like performance and battery life are what they are is because they control iOS AND all of the hardware running it. And app development on iOS has just as many pros and cons as developing for Android, I don't think it fair to label one as better in that regard.

Sorry, but I believe there needs to be a social cost associated with groundless antiscientific FUD. I don't think it's an exaggeration to equate fear of THz imaging physics with fear of vaccines, yet you cheerfully (and rightly) permit anti-antivax posts to descend to a deeper level of mockery and derision than I've employed here.

In general, I believe that advocacy of the precautionary principle belongs on other sites, and I'm very surprised that you and the rest of the YC staff don't agree.
If you're new to R, I'd highly recommend learning everything using Hadley Wickham's packages. When I was first getting started I had the same problem, and IMO Hadley's solutions offer the best maintainability. Especially with how quickly R is growing, the time that Hadley has invested in teaching makes me believe that his approach will continue to be one of the guiding influences for the future of the language. Just my two cents though!

...

> The typing is in your head, where it doesn't get in the way.

That's fine, if it's you working on your code (and it hasn't been too long since you last worked on it). But if I wrote the code, now the types are in my head. Sure, it doesn't get in your way there, but it also gives you no protection against you doing something that completely violates the type assumptions of my code.

That's where the lack of static typing becomes a bottleneck to maintaining and evolving these systems - when the code was written multiple years ago by multiple parties other than yourself.
Your tablet analogy doesn't hold true for the high resolution screens in phones.

Android's most popular devices (Samsung and Motorola/Droid) prior to Apple's first "retina" display had higher resolution displays than the standard 320 x 480 that Apple had for the first few iPhones.
Parolees are already subject to many arcane obligations, such as a rigid schedule of meetings and phone calls with the parole officer. The punishment for a single failure is going back to prison for the remainder of the sentence. You could presumably make regular charging of the device a similar requirement.

you can call it silly

But I didn't call it silly; I said it should be taken seriously. And frankly, "because science says so!" can be just as dogmatic (or even more so) than religion. "Science" isn't a monad anyway; we can't simply reference one overarching, completely non-contradictory science. And there are Christian approaches to science that, in fact, do not resort to "do not doubt." And that's just for starters—it's very misleading to posit a "religion or science: choose one" duality given the number of Christians in STEM professions, from Faraday to Larry Wall.

As far as "not sure why the US is so religious"—I don't think the US is more religious than other cultures, or why you would single the US out for approbation in that way. It's probably the case that Christianity has influenced Western civilisation and that has been expressed in a particular manner in the US on the Constitution with its enumerated rights and ordered liberties. The influence of Christianity on the West has much to do with why Western cultures are advanced in terms of technology, literacy, general learning, and the arts, even when those things are used for non-religious ends.
inequality as part of the definition of capitalism? talk about intellectual dishonesty. has inequality gone up or down since when China had more "communist elements"?
many HN readers bashing China have probably never set foot there

Readers of Hacker News who have been reading the Chinese press in the original Chinese since the 1970s and who have been to the Chinese-speaking world since the 1980s and thereafter (as I have) get really sick and tired of credulous Westerners believing propaganda from China, that's all. I can remember a time from the 1980s when China (by contrast with Taiwan) was praised by a French student I knew at the time for having no air pollution. I pointed out to him then that that was because China was only just beginning to develop economically at the time. (In that year, the per-capita G.D.P. of Taiwan was ten times that of China.) China has made some interesting progress on some issues, and I often appear here on Hacker News pointing out that even the United States can learn quite a bit from how China does primary school instruction in mathematics, for example.[1]

But China is still a dictatorship, with none of the free and fair elections or free press that Taiwan now has. (Taiwan was a dictatorship when I first lived there, but a thriving democracy the second time I lived there.) China's air pollution is now about the worst in the world--it could have put in pollution controls as it industrialized, as the technology for pollution control was well known by then, but the dictators of China chose to industrialize without minimizing pollution. In general, when I see a gee-whiz popular press story about China here on Hacker News, I simply don't believe the first submission. I look for comments in the thread by some of the Hacker News participants who currently live in China and who know the language well[2] (the latter criterion is more stringent, but necessary) to check whether the story is plausible at all.

I've worked as a server and I thought this was going to focus on POS systems and how horribly they are (often) implemented. Talk about a design nightmare, with at least 5 clicks to put in one person's order (x2-4 for a typical table). And items were almost always in a random configuration with little reasoning for placement of, for instance, extra mayonnaise versus no lettuce. I'm not sure if the new mobile POS systems are any better, but I will never forget how bad restaurant POSs are when designing UIs.

No, it's not. As a student pilot one of the most influential things I ever read was this: http://www.tc.gc.ca/publications/EN/TP2228/PDF/HR/TP2228E_1....

tl;dr: the average non-rated pilot flying into IFR conditions will be dead in an average of 178 seconds!

It is stupendously easy for a non-IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) rated pilot to find himself in IFR conditions accidentally. Student private pilots receive just enough IFR training to hopefully get themselves out of IFR conditions before they die.
I'm really excited to see more companies like this. While the economics are interesting, I think the real value that co-living brings is community.

People used to get their feelings of belonging from their church and religion. As religion takes a backseat, people are finding that sense of community in new areas (like Crossfit).

I personally felt really lost toward the end of university. Due to injury, I was unable to play sports, which is where I'd found my "tribe" growing up. I also was doing a lot of soul-searching after shutting down my last company, and so was feeling disconnected from a lot of the people in the startup world.

Anyways, through a series of random events, I ended up starting a coliving experiment for developers & entrepreneurs in Costa Rica.

I thought the value would be having interesting people around while abroad, but the best part was getting thrown into a collegial atmosphere, where people would just hang out and shoot the breeze about anything they found interesting. It was a really profound experience for me, and I've since spent 11 out of the last 14 months in various co-living arrangements around the world through Hacker Paradise.

There are definitely drawbacks to intense levels of community. You have a bit less privacy, and interpersonal friction will arise.

Still, I think it can be a really remarkable experience for people in their "Odyssey years," while they're still trying to figure out what they want to make their life's work. I know I've made closer friends through co-living than I would have otherwise.
There's nothing wrong with the iPhone's battery life - the problem is more likely where you use it. Almost any phone's battery will last for days in a place where cell site antennas are dense and close enough to provide connectivity without making the radio work very hard.

I was surprised to find how much battery I had left at the end of the day in a major Indian city, as opposed to in San Francisco. One or two bars of signal strength may be enough to make your phone useful, but it's no good for one's battery life.

Recall that the radio power-to-distance function is logarithmic.

Nice! One suggestion: allow the viewer to input a number to view directly its factorization instead of having to wait until that number is reached - although it may not be efficient if the program caches the prime numbers and factorizations. Which brings me to my second question: is the code available somewhere? The website uses a minified version of the js code. Not the most pleasant to understand the algorithm.
