Actually, common household goods are going to amount to more than luxury items or electronics in terms of cost per year.

So your 10 minute comparison shopping for sponges is moot.

Google Shopping makes it easy to do comparison shopping. And yet Amazon doesn't want to be on Google Shopping -- I wonder why...

Juggling logins and shopping carts? Heh. Nice fallacious argument.
Intel also has an ARM architecture license (allowing them to design their own ARM cores).

Very cool article, but I have to object to this sentence at the start:

"Nowadays it is rarely spoken"

The number of Yiddish speakers is actually growing, not shrinking and growing at a very rapid rate. It's the mother language (first language) of many many people, with either English or Hebrew as the second.
I admit, it looks like it's quite hard to find many sources for this information. To the point I started to doubt it. I was basing on this article (in Polish), translation:

I'll try my best to answer you.
1. I believe you can do it with a standard webserver setup. But when you want to share scripts and files to other users I believe it would just become a bit more cumbersome.
2. For me files within files is a lot more easier. It is not possible to add comments to directories. When you create a directory its just a string. It is not easy to add extra information to the directory itself. I may be wrong.

Again a webserver+CGI would definitely work no doubt. The app just simplifies it for you. Its the same thing with content management system. Its simpler to use them rather than build it manually. Also I plan to add the ability to share files.
A lot of military commanders of Israel had been educated in Poland in the 1930s, also Poland was the largest supplier of weapons to Israeli groups fighting for an Jewish state. The Polish idea was if Jews had their own state they would leave Poland.

I never heard of that happening before either. I suspect the problem is with the issuing bank, not the processor. (I don't recall offhand what bank was the issuing bank, other than it was small and obscure enough I've never heard of it).

I'd prefer not to name the processor since I suspect that the same problem could happen at any processor when dealing with cards from that issuing bank so I don't want to drag the processor's name through the mud.
I can't tell, was something in this caught by the filters? I avoided anything I was aware of being unacceptable. Don't see it on the ask page at all. Is discussing HN on HN taboo?
I had seen Toggl, But not yet used. What's new in my app? that's a good question. Time tracking is one of the main features in the app. but the main focus of the app is to help and keep track of personal projects. Normally in our case, (me & my friends) we have a lot of personal projects. Some are finished, some in prototyping state, some in debt. Now the main problem we are facing is to track and measure the effort that we put in our personal projects. Also, we need to bring back the project to track if it slips away. We observed the reason why your personal projects slip away and we found some reasons. First thing is the issue regarding the management and you are not aware of the effort that you put for the project like the time you took to think, design, structure, code etc. So we thought of an assistance/motivator who take can take care of managing the projects and provide you with vital information which proves that you are progressing. This is purely an experimental project, but we are trying our best to bring good solutions.

This you can still achieve in other apps like toggl or freckle. But they lack the management and we are focusing on the managing part. Once the beta is ready i will send it to you. Happy to get your feedbacks.

You have the misguided ideas that there is such a thing as "the social contract", that society's impositions and thefts are "investments", and that, ultimately, those who oppose the infliction of subservience have some obligation to leave rather than stay and fight for their rightful freedom.

By your logic, any slave who didn't run away from a plantation was "accepting a social contract" and had no right to complain about his state.
I concur. I tried RetroPie and it asked for my keybindings on my controller on start, but when I started any Neo-Geo game, the keys didn't work. No such problem on Recalbox.

I don't want to be unpleasant at all. But let's please not build up artificial walls between us. Humans moved to different parts of the world and developed slightly differently. But let's not think that being born into the "same" culture or ethnic group gives anyone some kind of password to share in some achievement.

I also admire this man's work and am grateful for his intelligence and efforts.

I often found that your remaining 20% is not the same 20% as the library authors, unless the task at hand is very constrained and standardized. Everybody has different edge cases. Finding the bugs relevant to your application in someone elses code is much harder than finding it in your own.
Only if it goes through the relevant processes. Look at the nightmare they have around racial and gender lines with some of the human characters. Had it gone through better, then it wouldn't have been a problem.

Frankly, I'd like to know the names of the people in these ad hoc committees who approve changes to such an important standard. They need to be made accountable.
Sorry meant the commercial sector :)

> As of May 2012, SpaceX had operated on total funding of approximately $1 billion in its first ten years of operation. Of this, private equity provided about $200M, with Musk investing approximately $100M and other investors having put in about $100M (Founders Fund, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, ...).[47] The remainder has come from progress payments on long-term launch contracts and development contracts. As of April 2012, NASA had put in about $400–500M of this amount, with most of that as progress payments on launch contracts.

40-50% of funding from NASA contracts. Yes, this isn't necessarily the same as a direct subsidy, but, in fitting with the article:

Totally asking out of ignorance here: How does GPLv3 play with JS apps?

I'll normally create an app bundle that includes all the libraries, and the users will only execute that one file. Does that count as distribution? Would that make it such that the whole app must now be licensed under GPLv3? I make source maps available in production (that get dynamically loaded when you open dev tools), is that enough to meet the requirement of sharing the source?

Heck, even if you split off the GPL'd files from the main app bundle and it's loaded dynamically, you'll still be executing it on the same DOM... So it's still eating up the rest of the app into becoming GPLv3, right?

Seems more like a confusion over how much income to the top comes from wages vs. capital gains. Looking Graham's own income sources, he should have pointed this out.

The capital gains rate under Eisenhower was only 25%, while the top bracket was 91%.

And the corporate tax rate under Eisenhower was only 50%.

Very few of the great sources of dynastic wealth in America were built by accumulating wages under normal income rates.
In the code editor window, if you expand the "Output" frame the two drop-downs tell you the numbers of the available output devices (argument to the OUT mnemonic) and for the output device you select, the number of the commands it accepts (in the accumulator register).

I don't think tools like pngquant should be so easily dismissed. With the pixel density of todays monitors, the lossy changes they introduce can be very hard to see (which may be surprising for those of us who remember the pixelated horrors of Floyd-Steinberg from a couple of decades ago).

For some image types, lossy png has the huge advantage over jpg at the same file size that they have no jpg artifacts.

ENVY DROVE DENUNCIATIONS

How thoroughly depressing. It still happens, though.

I recently met someone who works at the local tax office here in Poland, and found out that the area I live in is notorious for the large number of "Mr So-and-so is driving a new car, and I think it's because he hasn't paid his taxes!"-type reports from my neighbours.

Apparently it's endemic; any time someone shows up with a new something, a phonecall is made from a different neighbour to the tax authorities.

As much as I believe in paying one's taxes - and for the avoidance of doubt: I'm a very honest taxpayer! - the whole business left me feeling somewhat uneasy.
I applied for multiple remote jobs through HN "Who is hiring" thread, but barely got any replies. It must have been around 7 or 8 jobs. One company replied, for another one I did a coding challenge given from an automatic reply (but then never heard from them after) and all the others ignored me.

Honestly, I am really disappointed in how this is handled by them. It appears like they are looking for candidates urgently, but then do not even react. At least I would expect a rejection (with or without reasons given), but I got nothing instead. It was also not the case that I applied for jobs which did not fit my skill set or experience. In fact for most of them my experience would have been a very close fit.
The most amusing quote in all of this is buried in the [Submitting Emoji Character Proposals][1] documentation linked to by that:

There is a misperception that such petitions play a large role in selecting
emoji. For example, the commercial petitions for TACO played no part in its
selection, because there was no evidence of reliability.

Ok, I've spent 2 hours now looking at vortices, and CFD vortex simulations, knotted vortecies, etc, and thinking about a nagging question I have with all of them. They all seem to create hollow toroidal shells.

Where is the optimal place to put particles such as smoke so that they occupy the center of the torus?

I can't seem to find any time reversed CFD simulations that track these particles back to where they started.

I had the same reaction, but not from the "see something say something" point of view, but from the conformist Twitter Thought Police.

The parallel world of not allowing any divergent thought or expression is so clear.

Weird thing, though, I love East Berlin (massively prefer it to the sterile shopping malls of West Berlin). Covered in graffiti, with all sorts of bizarre creative communities and flea markets, it's an awesome place. Is this a result of oppressive thought police, or despite it?
> because SMS, uses a variant of UTF-16 from the era when people thought 16 bits was big enough

SMS uses 7-bit by default. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_03.38#GSM_7-bit_default_al...

Hacks? It's called UTF-16 surrogate pair. Not hacks. UCS-2 officially, but UCS-2 has been legacy for almost 20 years now. Modern phones select the encoding dynamically and use UTF-16 if the message cannot be encoded otherwise. You'll get up to 160 7-bit characters (some symbols take two characters) or 70 UTF-16 code units in unicode mode.

I just wish everyone started to use UTF-8 already and dropped all the other nonsense.

I'm a bit surprised by this; as tricky as the Polish language is to e.g. native English speakers, it shares the same sounds as many Slavic languages, plus a fair amount of vocab and grammar basics.

I mean, even though I'm pretty crappy at Polish - my only Slavic language - even I can understand a surprising amount of Russian.

It just seems a bit weird to me that no-one in the Arab coalition spoke Russian and could work backwards from there.

> When the Revaluation of 2016 hits, it will be harsh and immediate.

That's where we disagree. It's hard for a private market to have a quick correction, especially since (a) VCs can't completely shut down, they'll just be much more aggressive on valuation and (b) many/most unicorns have huge war chests. If they see the market has turned against them, they'll slow down growth and extend their runway to prevent having to raise another round.

> If only I could short them

This is one of the biggest factors which prevents a collapse. Only bulls get to set prices: bears don't have a market mechanism to express their opinion. When investors become more bearish, we'll see a slowdown in funding—but not a "harsh and immediate" crash.

Moreover, that one is now marked as "dupe", which I think is especially strange, since they were not only the first, but their version is more accessible than the PDF which I submitted.
Another example of Yiddish influencing modern Polish (with almost no Yiddish speakers in Poland) is using "mamełe/tatełe" to refer to parents (on purpose, to sound funny and endearing, same thing as "pieseł"). It's not very common but some people do it.

I'd say we're already in the Manhattan project era of computing.

There's no possible way.

We were born at the beginning of civilization. There were the ancients, then us. A hundred thousand years from now, what we write today has a chance of still being around. The language that people speak will be completely alien. But what we write -- our programs -- will still be runnable. There will be emulators for our architectures, and random work from random people in 2015 AD will happen to persist to 102,283 AD.

We're going to be the oldest ancients that they consider real. They'll be able to look at and interact with our work. And even modify it and remix it. And we'll be thought of as just barely more advanced than cavedwellers.

Now, with that sort of context, there seems no possible chance that we can know how far away we are from the Manhattan project era of computing. Very far, suffice to say.

To a certain extent, it's not possible to compare the progress in physics with computing. On one hand, we've unravelled nature to the point where there are no mysteries left except in high-energy physics. There's also no way to know how profoundly the remaining mysteries might impact the world.

Whereas the depth and the mysteries within computing are eternal. If there are still humans in 102,283 AD, there will still be computing, and they'll still be coming up with ever-more complex ways of computing. All of the institutional effort between now and then will push the field way, way beyond the limited horizons that we can currently imagine.
Well much of the 20th century computing research was done in the UK and the US.

Since the 1930's English has replaced German as the common language for exact science if you were studying engineering upto the end of the 1920's you would pretty much have had to learn German at the time to be able to read textbooks and cutting edge papers.

And while we might get natural language programming (even tho I think that the recent advancement in visual assisted programming kinda makes that irrelevant) English would most likely still remain the standard at least as far as the actual ASCII alphabet.

When BASIC (and the likes) was popular there were quite a few localized versions of it including Russian, Chinese (which mostly simply mapped simplified Chinese to it's English counterparts on the keyboard which created a language that made very little sense) as well many European languages (German, Italian, French).
But considering that for the most part programming languages are now consolidated there is very little chance that localized languages would become popular, sure you can localize pretty much any language since you only need to modify the compiler/interpreter but it just doesn't makes sense.

English as being one of the most simplest languages (fairly simple grammatical rule set, low word count etc.) as well as the fact that for better or worse pretty much every term in computer science originated in English just means we'll have to stick to it.

And while China does like localizing most things considering they've added English to their national curriculum now you'll have more English speakers in China within a decade than the rest of the world combined.
India already has the 2nd most English speakers in the world and is expected to pass the US within the next decade to become the country with most English speakers.

My first BlackBerry phone is a passport, I would miss BlackBerry OS if (when) it dies. both the form factor as well as the OS makes it the best productivity device I ever owned.(I used ios and a lot of flagship android phones before owning the passport)

It is a shame that BlackBerry tried to market BlackBerry OS as an consumer OS. Also most gadget reviewers like games and the latest social media platforms so it seems silly to send a unit for review to them. I think they failed to market it correctly while the market for this type of device is smaller than for an iPhone it is bigger than the number of BlackBerry devices sold.

I really hope they continue to make BlackBerry OS devices I dread the day I have to go back to android or iphone
