> I'm arguing that their handling of GCC and refusal to support it as a library directly motivated the creation of LLVM and led to a scenario that better supports the creation of proprietary software

I'm sure they are well aware of that. I don't see how they could have handled it differently without compromising their core values. Allowing GCC to be wrapped by proprietary bits would be unconscionable since it curtails user freedom (to modify & improve the software).

The differences in core-beliefs between Apple and FSF are irreconcilable: the former is pro-Tivoization and the latter is anti-Tivoization. Your stance on Tivoization ought to be a fair indicator on which side of the fence you stand, and no side will ever be able to convince the other side: at best you can agree to disagree.
It's not the money that's being changed, it's the rules regarding transactions and accounting. This client will accept more transactions per block. Blocks are mined at a semi-regular rate averaging <10 minutes. So this allows tons of transactions to be added.
I never said it was the pinnacle of composition of programs. I did say it popularized it.

Yeah, text does suck for IPC. The problem is, everything else sucks even more.

Interesting! They do separate it similarly. I also like that there is less information on it--makes sense that payment is separate since it is rare.
You missed the word "just".
Most of my low EUR / year earning friends (in that 90%) would disagree.

All of these things end up being plentiful, cost-sensitive, and profitable when the space you live in supports and encourages plentiful foot traffic.
What I meant was I don't think a different-model center engine would be any more of a single point of failure than it already is.
I'm using SemanticUI since 0.19.3. It's awesome, best UI framework I know :)
Aaah, Germany - the leader of privacy across the globe, the country where you're legally required to give up all your personal information in order to call someone from a prepaid phone card you just bought for 5 euro. And where you're not allowed to open up your wifi hotspot because someone might download an mp3 with it.
Is it? You could write a sinatra-like microframework in java a long time ago (I did). Just use methods instead of lambdas.

Though, perhaps 8 has inspired framework developers, and - more importantly! - attracted a more adventurous userbase?
As a taxpayer you should be livid for the opposite reason.
It's not about paying 40% more -- tax already paid to foreign governments is deducted. So the total tax is 40%, with any tax not paid to foreign governments going to the US government when the profit is repatriated.
Yes, symbol set reduction can weigh in this too - that was the entire idea of orwell's newspeak, to reduce the available set of symbols and therefore thought - fundamentally providing a more malleable, more simplistic model.

Were humans not capable of and in the habit of treating assumptions as axioms, we could not function nor develop beyond an infantile inquisitive state, as we rely on inductive learning to link the symbols through which we interpret reality - so one can only work with this particular axiom (or assumption? Hah.) to effect change.

The Internet is damoclean in nature - at first flush it presents a divisive frontier of information, which leads to the behaviours we see today - but prolonged exposure could result in a general improvement in the models individuals and cultures carry, assuming auto-innoculation doesn't happen too quickly. It'll be interesting to watch pan out.
I thought the same about 3d printing, I lazily didn't look past the trinkets and crap that was on show.

When I finally thought about the possibilities I realised there was probably a whole lot more potential, did some experimenting and ended up printing a robot (scroll down for the best pictures):

That's not the final design, I really need to update the site with the latest, but it shows what's possible.
Observation is that pretty much nothing crashes the price of Bitcoin.

* During the transaction spam DDOS attacks, the price went up even though it was literally unusable.

* The present price seems sustained by something that looks very Willybotish running between OKCoin and Huobi. https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/3vnjgk/what_drive...

The remaining American Bitcoin traders are certainly gullible enough to keep buying and trading a 51%-compromised coin. (I mean, there are people who still think Paycoin could make a comeback.) But American traders are a sideshow - all the action is in China (miners, actual traders). So the question would be: will Chinese speculators keep gambling on a 51%-compromised coin?

(And of course the MMM ponzi buyers, whose judgement is sufficiently bad that they wouldn't even understand the problem.)
Agreed that I could make the spaces for writing bigger. I might make another version with bigger writing spaces. Also, good point, re: 3.
The academic community on twitter is very active and the content is very good, so I go to twitter to keep up with the latest cogneuro trends.

My community (programming languages) is also active on twitter, but I decided completely to withdraw. There seems to be no benefit for me in hearing about the latest paper 5 minutes after it was put on arXiv. I felt that being active on Twitter gave me the illusion of understanding, but prevented me from deep understanding by infinite distraction.

I wonder if I'm the only one ...

Traffic congestion is also a question of person density. If there were ways to increase people density per sq ft on those roads, with buses or, heck, some weird quadruple-stacked short-distance car transports, you can reduce traffic and commute loads as well.
The USPS has some online steps you can take once you get the slip, but I like the idea of proactively emailing you.
It's unclear what "just following the law" is as distinct from "following the law".

Can you help me understand the difference?

What law(s) have they violated? Have they "just violated them" or just "violated them"?
What social responsibility?

By hiring homophobic and women hater Dr. Dre? - money talks. Of course, at the same time preaching gay marriage, because it benefits them. They don't give a shit about responsibility, only money, take off your Apple glasses.

Ask HN: Secondary Market Reviews
I'm thinking about selling shares in a private startup (former employee) and have read about companies like Sharespost, Equityzen, Equidate, etc. but haven't really seen any reviews/accounts from people who have used these services. Just curious if anyone on HN has experience with one of these companies and whether it was positive/negative. Also how did you decide to price your shares and how early did you inform the company you were thinking about selling (e.g. before/after contacting these services/after listing/a deal had been made)? Thanks for any help.
Looks cool. I have been using Deis for a while, is tutum 100% hosted? I heard "heroku for docker" and immediately thought of Deis, which is not quite hosted, but Bring your own Cloud.

Wondering how tutum compares... I see it has a heroku-ish frontend, which is something missing in Deis, I assume is coming later via Kubernetes, or maybe in v2.
You're either with us or against us?
If I took my OO components and looked up how to make it functional while changing it, does that mean I can do functional? No. Too many devs I work with would say so though. However if I spent 30 minutes each day turning one of my OO components into a functional equivalent, then after 6 months or so I'd have a good handle on it. When you combine spaced repetition with something like chunking, it becomes very powerful.
> give up all your personal information in order to call someone from a prepaid phone card you just bought for 5 euro.

That is flat out untrue. I actually was surprised how easy it was to get prepaid SIM cards (just buy them at any shop/gas station, no info/ID required), load and use them however and whenever I want (also 15 Euros for 5GB 3G and works in USB data sticks, pretty nice).

Illegal to have open Wifi, that is true :-) (I think it's a 125 Euro fine)

Ask HN: How should I organize my portfolio? What should even be in it?
Growing up as a Generation Y, I fell in love with computers at a very early age. Since then, I have accumulated tons and tons of work (personal and for work). These range from running PPC campaigns, social media marketing consultant for hundred-million dollar company, logos/print design, and even a game-hack that I wrote 10 years ago for SC:BW. I was an odd child.

However -- About 75% of them are just simple (but professional) websites that I have made as a freelancer over the more recent years.

1) What would you include in the public portfolio?

I feel that potential clients / employers may like to see that I try to be well-rounded and always curious to try new things. But I'm not sure how others would think about my SC:BW hack called "BagFullOfSh!t" (can't make this up, you can Google "BagFullOfSh!t ghoztcraft" if you're curious lol). Sure, it was 10 years ago when I was 12, but does it deserve a spot -- on my professional portfolio?!

2) How would you organize your portfolio?

I was thinking of putting them into categories, such as "Logo Design," "Website Development", "Social Media Marketing", etc. But a lot of them overlap with eachother. I could also organize it by client instead of project -- but I've worked with some clients more than others. I'd love to hear your input/suggestions/inspiration.

3) What can you include in your portfolio, morally and legally?

For example: I've had the wonderful opportunity to do some social marketing work for the LA Dodgers (just a small project; custom app on Facebook). However, there was a middle-man advertising agency that reached out to me. Morally, I feel that I can post this project in my portfolio, since I did do 100% of the actual work. Legally, however, could it have repercussions on me?

Thanks for bearing with me guys. I learned a lot from my last AskHN thread, and I am deeply thankful. It's hard to have thoughtful discussions like these on Reddit, and I am loving this HN community!
No. His software fork is participating in the same Bitcoin network as everyone else.

This software fork is not the same as a network fork, and definitely not the same as creating an entirely new network that just happens to run the same software.
The sentence means that Apple haven't simply / only / just followed the law as written, they have gone further than that and carved out specific exemptions in the law for themselves.

When you said, "I think they have followed the law as written." it sounds like you are challenging a claim that they haven't followed the law as written, but that wasn't the intent of the sentence. More clear? No laws were violated.

A) I have not hit you, I have given you a hug.
-> you did not get hit, you got a hug

B) I have not just hit you, I have given you a hug.
-> you got hit AND you got a hug
I do think I'm going to give it another try, thanks. And agreed--I have more of a background in UX, but this was my first go at paper layout design. There is definitely much to improve.
> JAX-RS has a nice API without much boilerplate and it is more powerful than most "micro web frameworks".

This is true. But it is usually much more intimidating for people starting out though. What the micro-frameworks offer is a quick turnaround time.
For once, I agree with your conclusion. I am not aware of any evidence showing this may be harmful, so in the end, I think it is up to the parents and the kid.

However, how do you know that "having more skills is good under virtually all circumstances" when toddlers are concerned? I have no reason to assume that learning to read at a very young age is harmful (which is why I'm not against it), but I can easily imagine ways that it could be harmful (or beneficial). But making a definitive ruling either way requires knowledge that neither I nor you possess. So I say "go ahead if that's what you want" just because I'd rather not recommend against something unless it is shown to be bad. But you seem to make a big assumption about developmental psychology that you have absolutely no basis to make.
Lean Startup Lesson # 3: Work in Small Batches
He's not saying that white people are better.

He's saying that people who had overcome institutional racism are better.

I don't think that he was talking about a white sushi chef from Kansas who have never been to Japan here.
prolonged exposure could result in a general improvement

That's certainly what happened after the previous two revolutions in communication: the invention of convenient writing and that of the printing press. So I have high hopes for the third! I doubt that will be part of the bright future though. It is antithetical to better communication.
DOS attacks are easy - just make tons of bogus transactions in super-size blocks. Other miners will discard the block immediately for being too large, but this client will be stuck verifying all the transactions. That attack doesn't require anyone else to agree.

"But with plastics you can usually only repair broken plastic parts - maybe you shouldn't have bought a cheap plastic thing that breaks down fast in the first place."

That's what I believed when I started. But you can "print" a CNC machine and make pieces in aluminum, copper or bronze.

I do it routinely. The CNC uses very similar components to the 3d printer.

In fact, you are not printing lots of metal components, like the steel bars. But those things are commodities and incredibly inexpensive.

The best thing you can do is find a maker community so you don't need to have all the tools yourself, but can share it. My CNC is not in my house, but in a maker space. I only use it for like 5% of the time. Giving it away I can use other's people tools(and expertise) for free.
Thanks, that'd be really fun!

Unfortunately I submitted then deleted a submission to add "Show HN." HN wouldn't let me use the original URL with the new submission.

I'm running something pretty similar, and it does look pretty good.
Curious. Which Internet pack did you use which cost less than 1 INR per day? I too used to rely exclusively on Opera Mini in the past but never found rates so cheap.
Last year WP put up a glowing review of Amazon's iPhone resale service on the front page. This was right before the 6 came out, and I was up for a renewal, so I figured I'd use them instead of gazelle, which had been excellent in the past. Long and short of it was that Amazon bilked me out of $100, saying my phone, which was in excellent condition with only a small ding in one corner, was in poor condition. There are floods of complaints like this about them online if I had bothered to research further. Definitely not above board.
Does anybody describe themselves as "SJW's"?
Yes, this touches the point that is overlooked. We are eager to assume that the cost of acquiring a (reading) skill is static and low, involving only time. The way I see this is that for toddlers the added value by hour declines rapidly, so instead of investing more time to teach my child to read properly, I prefer to teach/explore other things such as story telling, cutting shapes with scissors, etc.
I think this is what the gopost option is supposed to do, but this version seems more effective.
> Cook being the one who fine-tuned Apple's operations to perfection I think he knows a lot about the things he talks about.

I'm sure he does, which makes it sadder.
Evidently not the types that actually happen in the Bitcoin space, all of which have as their root cause "no chargebacks": if someone picks your pocket from the other side of the planet, you have no recourse.
Isn't that logically impossible until renewable is cheaper than fossil fuels?

I'd have thought that because fossil fuels are cheaper, it will literally never be possible to have have a positive ROI bitcoin miner on a renewable energy source, assuming that people are willing to mine using $0.99 of energy to make $0.01 profit.

Is it worth optimizing reduce as many bytes as possible?
Or the end user doesn't care if there are couple of extra KB used?
Pretty cool that you can do that! Thank you :)
No, this is completely incorrect: the transaction rate limit is inherent in the protocol.

You could do it with an increase in the block size, but the Bitcoinsphere has bitterly resisted all attempts to increase the block size.
They're talking about the center engine of the first stage, not the single engine of the second stage.
Actually around 75%
But...isn't that also helping with privacy? I think the difference is personal liberty versus privacy...
Yea, this works. However, with some providers like Congstar you actually need to give all your details using online form before SIM gets activated.

to: all

yes I realize seizure is not a gag order nor a backdoor. but the whole article spends thousand word praising how privacy is so much more safe in Germany and how all the other states surveillance operations are so bad , which was kinda ironic.
I completely agree that any online option or specific printed labels would be better than a generic card.

Yeah, morality aside, it's very interesting to think about all of the taxes that Apple has already paid in various countries: sales taxes (and/or VAT), payroll taxes, income taxes for their employees, property taxes. (And that excludes things like health care plans, pension plans, etc.)
And yet R is really a Functional Programming Language. This is why people are making OO code that really is garbage. BUT to say I gave up on a language because it has so many options is strange to me.
What browser are you using on the Nexus 7? We test on current Chrome (which I imagine most Nexus 7 users are using).
My addition: if you use SNI cert, expect loads of problems. And I don't mean browser support.

Bing wont crawl you, you have to email the support and maybe they manually whitelist you.

A lot of RSS readers wont work, services like pocket, reddit submissions, mailchimp rss to email etc etc.

It's crazy considering we want to move everything to https only.
That's the first thing I looked at - whether these were Netty based. We've been using raw Netty for our core application and it's been amazing.
In the US, you don't see European style communities like this much outside of the fu-fu hipstery gentrified urban areas, or places like the coast of Maine, where they roll out the welcome mat in the summer for the tourists and their wallets, but don't actually go to such places themselves.

Most places, the closest thing you're going to find to a little cafe is your local 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts. Or the local package store. Generally, people go to the supermarket once a week, and they stock up enough that they don't have to go to the market every single day - when I spent a few months in Germany, this was one of the differences that struck me most oddly. Art is generally... not held in great esteem.
> And why is that our responsibility?

Because humans are humans, regardless of where they originated from. It's our responsibility to take care of people, period. I'm not american but remember "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"?

Here's what I don't understand. When it's about blacks, the mentality comes down to being so scared of "being racist" that people want to stop using the word "slave" in database/hardware lingo. But when it's about muslims, it's not our responsibility to integrate them, they are all guilty of terrorism until proven innocent, they should be thankful we even accept them in our country (even though, really, we don't), etc..

The contrast is so fucked up. I just don't get it. And often enough it's the same people talking both talks.

> The social unrest that is spreading through Europe is not _caused_ by yellow journalism (they just profit from it), it's driven by actual contact with radically different, incompatible cultures.

{{cn}}. Most people who will complain about muslims have never met any, if they don't actively entirely avoid them. I'll give you that I can't prove all of the unrest is directly caused by toilet-papers, but I can show you a LOT of people who only know the term islam as a synonym of terrorism because the daily mail is the only place they actually read about islam.
> Personally, I will never use bitcoin unless I have to, because I don't trust much currency these days, much less a currency/ETF that is used for illegal activities, that you had to "get in early" to make any money off of, and that people have had problems with or need to hack clients for because of problems with its definition.

You're in luck! I think USD is just what you need. It's never been used for illegal activities, and there are no clients built on top of it that add extra layers of abstraction and bring with it their own sets of problems. In fact, you can start collecting USD tomorrow and have just as likely of a chance of being rich as if your family started collecting it when they "got in early"
But, the hypothesis that that GAD is more accurately diagnosed as intelligence increases doesn't require the expansion that all (or even a single other) mental disorder be more accurately diagnosed.

Perhaps it'd be better to say "you'd be opening yourself to the hypothesis", which would be more likely to be true. I still don't think the OP's alternative hypothesis is broad enough to support this claim, but it'd be less false on its face.

Yes, but reading is the single skill with the highest payoff, when it comes to learning things that let you learn more things. Why give the kid a fish, if you can teach her how to catch her own?
