Different perspective: The cost of being wrong is overstated. The cost of offending someone is overstated. Being told you're wrong isn't the worst thing in the world. Being told you've said something offensive won't set you on fire.

I used to be afraid of being told I was wrong or offensive. I took it personally. Now I try to shrug it off and take it as legitimate feedback that doesn't compromise my self-esteem or integrity. Being told you're wrong is better than being wrong and never told you're wrong. Being told you're offensive is enormously better than never being told who you're putting off with your behavior. This holds even when you take into account the unjustified negative feedback.

I try to avoid thinking less of someone for thinking I was wrong, or being offended by what I've done. If I do that, I'm distorting my social reality: I am penalizing people for telling me negative things. I am penalizing people for caring that I'm wrong. I'm penalizing people for telling me that my behavior hurts them. By protecting my ego, I would be hurting my relationships with my peers and social groups.

This is not to say I'm not emotional about the responses I receive. I am quite emotional. If I'm writing in a dry tone, I probably just woke up and don't have access to all my senses yet. In fact I think writing without emotional color is a form of defensiveness: It is yet another way for a writer to hedge and separate themself from their opinion and their reader. I'd rather be close to my words and my listeners than safe from criticism.
The Chinese stock market is so far divorced from the real Chinese economy as to be a joke. The government intervention is direct and strong, far stronger than anything we saw in 2008.

That’s exactly the goal. To not give Google work for free unless they also share it with others.

Yes, but it's not harder to have many db users vs many app users. There's even an extension to sync pg users with ldap
It's usually not their choice to make - why would they care? And docking them on the tip for that is extremely tacky IMO.
Heh - RealSense is not exactly one depth camera. This particular formfactor uses active stereo IR (R200 camera), so it also works outside but loses the projective texturing (where it's usually not needed anyway).
Would it be outside the realm of possibility for China to mandate that people move to those cities to fill them?
They have plenty of people who want to make long term investments, but no long term trust. Due to the lack of transparancy and impartial rule of law.
One of those images was created in 2007, and still holds up as photorealistic for me (though admittedly I'm not viewing it on a large monitor).

I'd be interested to hear your take on the 'giveaways' on each of those images. I can see some on some of them, but not on all of them.
Some of it is historic - Mysql has gotten much better in recent years at supporting the parts of being an RDBMS that matters the most when money is riding on it.

So honestly, at this point I do think some of it is impressions from the past which are no longer valid. But still, Mysqlhas done/does all sorts of things that defy the spec, convention or just common sense (I don't know if this has been fixed, but at least for many years, April 30th was treated as a valid date, and there was some profound weirdness of which I can't quite recall the details involving locale stuff).

Postgres generally takes the position that data should always be safe first and speedy sometime later. It also assumes the operator understands their tools. That second one means in comparison with Mysql, people think it is unfriendly. It isn't (if you want to see unfriendly, go work with Oracle), it just expects that its friends learn about it. Which is of course good advice when you're dealing with complicated software on which a lot of money tends to ride.

And as the PG devs have said for years, they don't compete with Mysql. They compete with Oracle. There's no reason to switch if you're happy with Mysql.
> It's very easy to look at thousands of correlations and select the few most ridiculous, ignoring the vast amount of them that maybe make sense.

The reality is in fact reverse. Out of thousands of correlations you could pick, only very few actually make sense. It's trivially easy to find - or accidentally stumble upon - a meaningless correlation.
Sticking up for yourself is part of being happy, trust me.

I was about to make a snarky comment disagreeing with Justin -- as one of those folks who can't deal with Snapchat, I think it's a weird encapsulation of a lot of my complaints of newer social apps.

The UX feels deliberately confusing and disorienting; it promotes a culture of manufactured intimacy; I have to deal with a bunch of software developers thinking they're hip by saying 'bless up' and flooding their social media presences with key emojis, as if a celebrity culture disseminated via Snapchat is different than any other celebrity culture. I also don't really understand how you can write an article saying Snapchat is unmanufactured and not a "social dick-measuring contest" while using DJ Khaled as your main example (and ending with an "add me on Snapchat!").

But this article is titled Why I love Snapchat, and not Why Snapchat is the best. And honestly -- I know a lot of people who love Snapchat. And that's totally cool! Software that creates joy is almost always a net positive thing, and even if I don't really dig Snapchat I'm glad that other people do.

It's okay to love software, even if its flawed or not the ~~ future of media ~~ or whatever. I loved Glitch, a game that hopefully Stewart Butterfield will revive at some point. I love Reddit, even though I find a substantial and growing chunk of its userbase/content to be somewhere between abysmal and appalling.

(Just please, stop with the key emojis.)

I can't comment on the OP, but in addition to the "normal paypal stuff" that paypal does and that we are all familiar with, paypal also has a standard bank-style card processing unit called "payflow".

Rates and policies and fees are very, very good with payflow - they are very competitive - and it made very good sense for us to move from a traditional card processing setup at wells fargo to paypal for this.

We made that switch three years ago and it's all worked out very well - and it saved us a lot vs. wells fargo, who was doing all of the "normal" merchant/bank/processor tricks that distort the costs a lot.

What specifically about the free market is hold Brazil back? What changes would increase economic output? I understand that import taxes on things like consumer electronics are punitively high, but that's a cross-section of the consumption aspect of GDP.

These are complete guesses, but I would expect you could charge businesses more in the order of $50/month per user, if not higher... and just one business might sign up 10 people, which would be $500/month.

That means that a single business signup could be worth 100x a single individual signup.

Individuals are price sensitive to the point where $5/month is still something they have to think hard about. Businesses can spend a great deal more than that.
Do you think that's more due to how it works or due to the kinds of people who currently spend time on each?
Argument #1 (the seven ways thing) seems like a red herring, since I would guess it's vanishingly rare compared to splitting 6 or fewer ways.

The evidence he supplies doesn't actually prove the coercion is the cause. There is no scientific data presented, just speculative statistics and linkages to possible causes. The neurobiologist D.F Swaab wrote a book called "We are our brains" that talks about the issues outlined in this article and provides scientific proof to show how various illnesses like schizophrenia can come about. Many of these illnesses have biological and physical connections to be brought about in a person.

I am not advocating for coercion being a good things, but manipulating a person to do something is not the same as guiding them down a path that has been generally beneficial for the majority, like going to school.
Indeed. Google constantly takes work from volunteers, modifies it, keeps the modification under closed source, and heavily profits from them.

Helping a company that uses such a business model is not in my interest, as it means less volunteer power is available for actually open projects.

Distelli Announces Docker Integration and EC2 Provisioning Workflow
I have no data on this, but I'm willing to bet you that Snapchat is explicitly marketed to young people, and young people don't have Windows phones. The WP is basically a pariah as far as integration with social media is concerned because it's at the bottom of every company's priority list. Beyond that, young people are generally quite image-conscious, and having a Windows phone seems both weirdly non-conforming and, by affiliation with Windows, terribly boring.
I may not agree with Cyrille, but what about alternatives for storing binary data that might be structured and play well with newer tools like Spark? ASN.1 and Google Protocol Buffers both specify a binary file format and generate language-specific encoding and decoding. Is there a set of lightweight binary data tools we're missing?

The critical difference is that those fighting for suffrage were fighting to increase women's choices. Any woman who thought women shouldn't vote was free to not vote. In this case, people are lobbying to prevent people from having the choice.
"Also, at this stage I think increasing the user base would be more valuable long term compared to milking the current users for more money. "

It is much, much easier to convince a user who is already paying you money to pay more than it is to convince a brand new person to start paying you at all.

The trick is that most people won't be happy paying more for the same product - so you need to find ways to up-sell new products and features to your existing userbase.

This is another place where "business" accounts could be useful. If you were to launch a more expensive product aimed at businesses, you could market it to your existing individual users. The chances are some of them would be able to convince the company they work for to shell out - and a testimonial from an existing employee is going to be much more effective than a cold-call sales process.
Tell HN: CPUs can't be “fast enough”
There's this common view that CPUs became "fast enough" - a web browser and other apps people are using work fast on modern processors, so it doesn't make sense to create faster CPUs and use more RAM as a standard.

But it works the other way around - the apps, web browsers, programming languages - ALL THE SOFTWARE - is designed and implemented to work on hardware that is standard. If better hardware will be standard, the software will be simply better - with more advanced features, implemented using more high-level languages, and with more optimizations (an example is using RAM for caching).

I'm writing this to note that the "fast enough" common view actually hinders progress of software. I want hundreds of gigs of RAM in my workstation that will be used for something useful and AI working in the background trying to help me. But instead I see satisfaction from the fact that the newest Firefox consumes 300MB instead of 350MB of RAM...

I was lucky enough to do a sushi workshop tour of Tsujiki on the auction day (auction itself was closed to tourists). It was incredibly cramped and hectic, but has a lot of charm. I'm not surprised moving it has little support, it will uproot or kill many local businesses servicing the area for generations. Definitely worth visiting if you can before then.
As I was saying, the GPU pipeline we are all used to is still there. I have posted in another comment some presentations from the GDC 2014 which you might find interesting.

No, that provision applies to the contract between the seller and Stubhub, it doesn't have a bearing on the contract between the buyer and the seller.

As for remedies, see my post above. The usual measure of damages in contract is expectation, not restitution. Breach of contract claims deal with "hypothetical things that never happened" all the time, that's required by the very nature of expectancy damages. And in any event this is an easy case as the FMV of the tickets at the time of breach is easy to calculate.

This is just like selling 100 shares of AAPL and then before T+3 happens deciding you aren't going to honor the sale because the price has since gone up. You aren't going to get away with just canceling the sale and returning the money.

Edit: You don't seem to understand that damages, legally speaking, include not getting something valuable just as much as it includes the loss of something valuable. And you are being patronizing where you have no reasonable cause to be, given that you've apparently never been to law school. In light of the latter point, I have no further interest in this conversation.
APIs: The invisible warriors in healthcare
An interesting proposal, but I see following problems with it:

- You have both zero control and zero objective input on what subjects are actually eating. They can ignore your coupons, they can lie or omit (by simply forgetting about) what they've eaten. They can buy stuff without using loyalty card (and probably will, in different stores - just how many people shop in one and only one store?).

- The data would be very imprecise - while individuals would do the medical tests, unless you're targeting singles, their grocery shopping will go towards the household, and you have no idea who ate what.

- I'm not confident that mailing them coupons would change their diet, unless you've got yourself either very poor, or very cooperative subject. The outcome I expect is that people would mostly ignore the coupons if they don't feel like eating the thing you want them to.

In the end, while interesting, it seems less precise than the current questionnaire/journal/self-reporting based approach.

> and radiate all waste heat toward a black hole (maximum cooling).

It's comparatively inefficient to radiate heat into a narrow cone, and there is little advantage to radiating it into a black hole. On the contrary, matter falling into the black hole will form an accretion disk that radiates heat back to you. In order to maximize dissipation, they would simply radiate it away into all directions uniformly.

However, there might be other considerations to take into account here besides physics. It might be important to such an isolated civilization to avoid detection. In that case they would gladly take the hit on efficiency and radiate their heat in narrow cones into the gaps where no nearby stars are located.

> An advanced alien civilization will probably have very low radiation signature. To afford the maximum amount of computation

Maybe. We can't say what the goals are of any advanced civilization. The reason why we like to talk about this specific type of civilization is that they are the type that we can actually look for right now.

But as I said above, if you're an isolationist population of computer brains, it makes sense to go through the effort of avoiding other people showing up on your doorstep. Such a culture might deem it acceptable to invest most of their energy budget into avoiding detection, as opposed to computation only.
Probably how it relies on a lot of swiping or icons to expose functionality. This isn't the easiest way for new users to discover how to use an app.

Once you know how to use it though, it's pretty cool.

Endianness generally is fast to convert, just pick a standard for the file format and detect on the platform. You can convert endianness with just shifts in C if you need to or with assembly instructions that I believe are one tick on most platforms. It is much much faster to convert endianness (again at least 10x faster) than to parse text.

It looks like you can just use these functions to convert between endianness conditionally based on the platform if you are in C/C++:

At first the idea of the notebooks intrigued me, and I almost bought one, but then I really thought about what I would be doing with it... sure, sometimes writing with a pen is more enjoyable or more fitting to a task than typing, but then you have to go take pictures of what you've written. That's way too much of a barrier between writing thoughts down to organizing them.

Most of these comments ask how this is legal, when the guy owns the tickets, etc.

The "when the guy owns the ticket" part is a question of title.

Let's take a gander at yon UCC, which covers these questions in most cases in most of the US.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/2/2-401

Blah blah blah blah. I'm too lazy to read all the stubhub fine print again, but last time i did, it said nothing.
That means, in circumstances like these, title passes to buyer when physical delivery of goods occurs.

That's when the buyer owns the tickets.

The rest of the questions are pretty standard breach of contract and damages questions, which others seem to have covered.

Here, the buyer would definitely have recourse against the seller (but probably not against stubhub).

Of course, stubhub is being stupid in this case too, there are a variety of mechanisms it could use to prevent this from happening (escrow, charging sellers difference in current price vs old price if they reneg on tickets that have gone up more than, say, 100% in price, etc). Sadly, it looks like Stubhub also has a financial incentive to let this happen, since they make 20% of the price.
