- Cards seem quite similar to a carousel with maybe different movement options.

- Twitter character limit is already exceeded by people writing somewhere and posting the screenshotted image of the text, which is awful.

- 1/N.. N/N style can be expressed better by extended character limits, but that will decrease the number of tweets, which a public company may see as a deteriorating metric.

Unfortunately Twitter has more usability problems than char limit in the main timeline user interface.

- Viewing a conversation is pretty much confusing. You click on a tweet, it expands and it's not obvious how the conversation with a tree-branching structure proceeds

- "Read later" is needed independent of "Like"
Given that IE may be the only widely-used browser that restrains web developers from going completely gung-ho with the fancy new stuff and creating even more sites that are just plain user-hostile and annoying (e.g. see the rise of superfluous SPAs and/or massive amounts of JS required to load simple static content, replacing sites that worked fine without), I fear that this will make casual browsing a worse experience even for those not using IE...

It's not the new sites which are already fancy webapps, the ones doing new things that would be nearly impossible in older browsers and require the very latest browser versions that I'm concerned about; it's the sites that cater to a mass audience like news, webmail, search engines ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8254743 ), and other valuable repositories of information which are most at risk of being "appified" and making the Internet less accessible overall.

I believe the point is that standard dev for distribution is complete meaningless when talking about measuring a person's iq and increase thereof.
I don't think they can. IE's (since IE5) is not your usual standalone browser application - it's an operating system component, that's used in a lot of places, starting right from the desktop. Tighter integration and mutual OS-browser dependence means it's not as easy as saying "ok, let's allow IE10 to run on Vista".
Very kind of you, I've emailed you.
Yes. Maybe it's not as well known as an acronym in English as I thought.
I haven't looked at this one in detail, but MonadFix and the recursive do syntax (https://wiki.haskell.org/MonadFix) will probably solve this problem by allowing forward references.
...but with a network protocol, peer discovery/exchange, record gossip, and defined strict data format for the contents of commits; but basically yes.

Blockchains aren't any fundamentally new underlying technology, they're just existing technology bolted together in a new way that enables new applications. DHT and BitTorrent are similar in that regard.
I can't help but be reminded of a sentence by Theodor Adorno:

Keineswegs weiß man bestimmt, wie die Fetischisierung
der Technik in der individuellen Psychologie der
einzelnen Menschen sich durchsetzt, wo die Schwelle ist
zwischen einem rationalen Verhältnis zu ihr und jener
Überwertung, die schließlich dazu führt, daß einer, der
ein Zugsystem ausklügelt, das die Opfer möglichst
schnell und reibungslos nach Auschwitz bringt, darüber
vergißt, was in Auschwitz mit ihnen geschieht.[0]

In short: the fetishization of technology makes its creators forget for which purposes their wonderfully efficient tools will finally be put to use.

Perhaps worth noting that North Korea wouldn't be the first country to bluff that they had exploded an H-bomb when they hadn't - the UK did this with some tests in the 1950s:

During the inspection of said package by the defense attorneys, they mention having asked the staff whether a hole in the lid should be expected, to which they replied "we don't do that". This was the "Okay, this documentary is over now. Next scene will show the judge dismissing the case based on newly discovered evidence, right? RIGHT?"-moment for me. Not so much.

To be fair, that wasn't the only scene where I felt that way ...

What? A personal assistant is someone that you know, that you vet, that you can gauge the skills and reliability of, and that you can hold genuinely accountable. And you are comparing hiring this person on a full time basis to an ad hoc and in many cases inferior "assistant" who is only available for a fraction of that time with no guarantee or indication of quality ahead of time.

And not just that, but only extremely rich people have truly personal assistants, and if they can afford them then they probably don't need this apparently mass-marketed service. Most "personal assistants" are hired by a company that the said "rich person" is involved with, making it a company expense. And why would a company with the resources to hire a personal assistant (and likely other flexible personnel) go to some $100/hr service when they have their own employees to service their general needs and who can be responsible for tracking down and hiring the specialists who actually do those tasks.

I mean, seriously. You could hire a full-time minion to go out and find and pay specialist deliverers, caterers, etc. for a similar or smaller cost than it takes to hire someone unknown and unreliable to do it ad hoc for a quarter of that time, given that 40hr/month estimate.
I'm wondering why doesn't Google ditch Java entirely and create something like XobotOS[1]. I know it wouldn't be a popular move but at least the devs will get a decent language to use (C#) and users will have a better performing OS[2]

I've heard that, but no one is forcing them to program it that way.

They could do the equivalent of static linking and include the necessary components in the browser instead of the OS.

That's more or less what the Utilu IE Collection does I think.
The Ivy Mike "Sausage" was big but it didn't fill the entire building - there was a lot of instrumentation for that test. There was actually a weaponized version of the Ivy Mike Sausage planned which was cancelled when they found out how to make "dry" bombs using lithium deuteride.

You can see the Sausage in the pics on the Wikipedia page:

I would like to see law enforcement focus on combating cases of child abuse in the real world instead of focusing so much on what happens online. The online component has been criminalized due to the argument that internet demand will spur abuse in the real world - I see the logic of that.

However, the true wins will come by doing real-world police work, educating parents and children on how to protect themselves and what are the potential offender profiles (hint: not guys in an ice cream van). They will come on a diplomatic level by negotiating better laws in countries where such materials are produced (Japan was a recent success AFAIK) and where sexual tourism is rife.

Finally, those individuals that haven't abused anyone should receive support from a mental health specialist if they come forward and admit to their urges, like in e.g Germany.

I have the feeling that this is a taboo subject, that is not discussed frankly in most societies. The authorities focus mostly on harsh punishments instead of prevention through education and mental health treatment.

Thinking about what happens on tor is mostly a reactive policy that doesn't do much to treat the causes.

If I care about what I do - I will do it anyways. I don't need to be an employee and go to work, just to be allowed to do what I already want and am doing. Does this make sense to you?
In the end I'm pursuing employment to get paid, you know, and there are only degrees of alignment between a person's current aspirations and the stuff you're going to be paid for. So, what people are trying to argue here is the balance between the time you are required to sacrifice in order to earn enough for a half-decent living and the free-will time in which your actions are motivated otherwise.
Like you once said - it's nice to be in a position where people can't exert leverage on you.
There certainly is a social and political push to this balance towards devoting yourself more to the company's agenda.
60 years ago it took several years from fission to fusion bomb. H-bomb is simple once you got the fission one. NK got their first fission several years ago. So it is about time.

It is frequently suggested that NK explosions are [half]failures because of low yields. Well, making low yield fission or fusion bomb is actually much harder then a powerful one and historically the pinnacle of nukes have been the low yield "neutron" ones. The low yield ones are also much more scarier as a weapon because they require lower threshold of craziness to use - i.e. sending a 1MT ballistic missile on a city even Kim III may be not ready to order while 0.5KT is just like that Chinese port explosion several month ago.

Anyway, giving the amount of tech assistance NK got in 199x from former Soviet researchers, one can only blame NK economy on why it has been taking them so long to join the club.
Ask HN: Developers, how many hours do you feel you are productive in a day?
I had emotional discussion with my boss and I couldn't convince him that 40h in a week and 8h in a day is not always the most productive approach. So please share your feedback and based on that I'm going back to my boss - https://guaana.com/quiz/how-many-hours-do-you-feel-you-are-productive-in-a-day
I work in Europe but I'm actually employed by a very much US company. Practically my whole team is in the USA and other than receiving salary locally I have surprisingly little to do with the European subsidiary. I also work from home a lot because working at the office would be effectively telecommuting, too. Decisions such as my unpaid time off come from the US.

My employer is not a particularly conservative company and it helps that my boss is great and if he has to cross-check something with his boss, his boss is great too. And it probably helps to have a somewhat senior position (next milestone: ten years) and having made my mark years ago.

But most importantly: getting your shit done. If you can get your shit done you're in a much better position in getting everyone to agree on more flexibility into your job because companies need to get shit done.

Wise employers recognize that it's of everyone's benefit, including theirs, to keep productive employees in a loose leash with more freedom of choice rather than impose binary requirements on how and when to do the work. If my employer wasn't wise like this some other company would be enjoying the fruits of my productivity as I would've left them years ago.

Even if you work at the very best companies and love your work, work is still always work and it will at some point become too much, meaningless, source of frustration, or any combination of those.
That's exactly the reason I'd use a service like Magic. Finding stuff on Amazon takes dozens of clicks.
Any government that imposes less taxes (all else being equal) and has thereby managed to entice its population to spend an equivalent or higher amount of time or money on the project did a better job.

The reasoning of the time was that China was trying to help North Korea conquer South Korea completely. Remember the Korean war was during Mao Zedong's rule of China and he was fully committed to a global Communist revolution. Where others might see a buffer, he would see a staging area for further revolution.

By the the time of Deng, North Korea was well established and successive Chinese leaders have simply tried to maintain the status quo.

Ok, so why is this so unbelievably interesting to everyone here? I mean, seriously, its been ten hours and this thing is still at the top of the page, and that is very long time for a HN story. For something that doesn't seem particularly innovative nor useful for a typical person, it has a huge amount of support here. Which is especially confusing because this indicates that somehow there is a massive number of price insensitive people people on this site that somehow do consider this useful, a fact that doesn't seem born out at all by the usual activity. It seems like this is a massive attempt to make an enormously overpriced service seem reasonable to people that can afford it but normally wouldn't even consider it.
If you're running a single server then I agree, AWS is hideously expensive. That's not really their market though.

They come into their own when you're running tens to hundreds of servers, with dependencies between each other, and a use for supporting services such as RDS and S3.

Next time you're negotiating a salary and they aren't willing to match what you want, don't walk away yet but offer to take the salary with reduced hours in proportion to how much you're missing. Taking an exaggerated example: if you want 150K and they're only willing to pay 100K, suggest to take 100K with 2/3 of the hours. You have nothing to lose but potentially lots to gain.

I just don't think the performance is good enough for pure web hosting. Much slower/$ than Linode and DO.

Their uptime and infrastructure is great, but you're totally on your own (e.g. if you're getting DDoS'ed). Also their traffic cost is not as easy to predict than DO/Linode/Vultr.
Enough to dominate the top of the front page for 10 hours? And populate the comment section with numerous high ranked glowing/apologetic comments? This is the sort of activity that usually accompanies massive news that rallies wide community interest or support, not a niche service that only a handful of extremely rich people should seriously be interested in, even on a site like HN.

Funny enough, there I already arc, which is what HN uses.

Arc is a dialect of the Lisp programming language developed by Paul Graham and Robert Morris.

Doctors (as a profession) have a professional regulatory board and are educated on the ethical proceedings, but doctors (as an individual) can be just as corrupt as anyone else. The difference is accountability within the profession. If a doctor starts doling out tons of prescription opiates, an auditing system is in place (Many levels in fact - either within the state, nationally via the DEA, by someone arrested who will rat the doctor out in exchange for lenient terms, or by a pharmacist who has seen one too many "Oxycodone 30 take as needed" pass through his shop.)

Programmers (as individuals) can't be ethically audited, but what we can do is regulate the data which is allowed to be collected. You regulate it like any other industry. Sigma-Aldrich is a corporate company that sells pharmaceutical grade precusors. I was dating a girl who was doing a post-doc in o-chem, in her office waiting to finish up something, and flipped through their catalog. I saw a precursor that was heavily flagged by the DEA which could be used to synthesize massive amounts of a recreational drug. Curious, I asked her the procedure for procurement, and she delineated it. In short, she could get it with a sign-off from the PI and a few other things fairly easily [she would never do that, she's far too ethical - but her PI was famous enough that a request on his letterhead with "Veritas" on it would have been enough] but there's a chain of custody and auditing system in that just like there is with doctors who are issued DEA numbers. If I call up S-A and ask for the same chemical not only would I be laughed off the phone, but they'd likely submit my information to the DEA to flag me for further investigation.

What am I getting at? You can't regulate people, but you can regulate systems. If that precursor was ordered and that drug happened to pop-up, the DEA could easily call up any of the suppliers of those precursors and figure out when it was dispensed fairly easily. We need to regulate any institution that collects data in the same way. When it's at a point where the institution is large enough to collect information at a level like that, issue compliance terms. In the same way publicly traded companies have to release financial information to the SEC and comply with numerous reporting terms (look at EDGAR to see how extensive it is), open up another branch of the government that is in charge of regulating the companies that collect data. That way, your engineer with loosely-defined morals who is capable of doing whatever will be prosecuted just like amoral doctors.
I did quit drinking for about 9 months during my masters year at university and I have to agree with a lot of what the author is saying.

I felt more energetic, I slept better, I was a lot more organised and productive, my hobbies felt more interesting and engaging, I saved a boat load of money etc.

I hadn't felt so good pretty much ever. The reason for this has to be that nearly all my social interaction since the age of 15 or so had involved at alcohol (or weed and other stuff to some degree) and while I don't do 'the other stuff' really anymore, most of my social interactions still unfortunately involve drinking. I've never really been one for 'night life' as such, but I do enjoy a few pints in a quiet pub during the day time so I can chat shit to my friends.

Out of all my good friends (say about7 or 8) there are only 2 that I socialise wityh sober. Usually we spend the day in a cafe in town playing board games which is awesome. I drink with these two guys a lot too, but we don't have to like I seem to with all my other friends.

I'm really considering quitting the booze again, just to get that feeling back that I had last time I did. I'd never felt so good.

A lot of people have an abstract idea that information is being collected, yes. I suspect that few people realize or know what the amount of information is, who has access to it, what purposes they use it for.

Does anyone remember that angry email they sent 5 years ago where they were criticizing their boss? Google does. What kind of profile can you build from thousands and thousands of such emails, messages and queries, and location data and pictures, videos, actions on social networks?

I think some companies have a better idea about who some people are than those people themselves.
I don't think it's being pedantic at all to use the widely accepted terminology - "H-bomb" has implied staging since the 1950s.
I don't see the need for clean code, I just want the code they used. I've repeatedly tried to find the code used to generate various visualisations (which were the entire point of the paper) and then found

1. "It'll be released soon" on a years old page
2. 404'ing personal pages on university sites
3. Finally some code

But then the code didn't, and couldn't, generate the images they have. So now I'm not actually sure if the algorithm works as they say.

This was also one of the more successful results I've had in trying to find research code outside of ML. I'm sure other disciplines are also good but ML is mostly what I've had to find.

There's a part of the experiment which virtually anyone could replicate for a material cost of near 0 and check in detail if they wanted to and yet that seems to be the most poorly explained and shared part of it. You wouldn't get away with just mentioning the protocol you used in the lab without any references or explanations, would you?

"Since when does intelligence get you power?" You hit the nail on the head there. Its about I/O. (Just as its about I/O in the original article - garbage in, garbage out). Jaron Lanier makes this point in.

http://edge.org/conversation/jaron_lanier-the-myth-of-ai

"This notion of attacking the problem on the level of some sort of autonomy algorithm, instead of on the actuator level is totally misdirected. This is where it becomes a policy issue. The sad fact is that, as a society, we have to do something to not have little killer drones proliferate. And maybe that problem will never take place anyway. What we don't have to worry about is the AI algorithm running them, because that's speculative. There isn't an AI algorithm that's good enough to do that for the time being. An equivalent problem can come about, whether or not the AI algorithm happens. In a sense, it's a massive misdirection."

A lengthy, convoluted article that concludes "It would be premature to declare the age of the algorithm over before it really began". No shit.
