Interesting. I have an LG-G2 and it's been a really nice phone. In fact I see no reason to buy anything else for now. IE: Nothing that has come out recently has made me even think about getting rid of my G2.

I have an iPhone 6 for work (work issued). It's pretty nice too.
It's not really a ridiculous amount of exercise for a small glass of soda. A can of Coke has 140 calories. 30 minutes on an exercise bike will burn around 300 calories for an average sized man. So it's around 15 minutes of exercise to burn off a Coke. Hardly a ridiculous amount.
For the purpose of this discussion there's no need to argue what an API is because it matters little. Like I said, it is like arguing whether a story is copyrightable or not. It turns out that whether something is a story is not the relevant question, but rather the (first) question is how is that thing (call it a story or foo) recorded in fixed form in tangible media. Java's APIs are recorded in fixed and tangible form; the Google Maps API isn't. Again, what it is may matter when you start asking further questions, but the very first thing in the US copyright code says that in order for something to be eligible for copyright it must be fixed in tangible media.

Just to make clear: I am not arguing that Java's APIs is copyrighted, just that there is good reason to see why -- from the perspective of copyright law -- the Google Maps API isn't, regardless of the status of the Java API. They could be absolutely identical from your perspective, and yet different enough from the law's perspective due to some minor detail that you -- but not the law -- may consider inconsequential.
Well, they're voting for their own Swiss issues, not even european (as in "EU european") issues. Political correctness aside, I don't think they're questionable.
Huh, last time i checked they were not shipping.
A good read overall, it's interesting to see projects that might not have a huge number of users but does have good engagement levels.

As for the marketing, if someone reached out to me over twitter I'd rather not know that it was something they "built over the weekend". That might sound great for the HN crowd but as a consumer I'd like to know services are solid, stable, reliable and will still be here tomorrow.
What is a Coinbase Transaction?
All of the western political ideology (Colonialism, Communism, Fascism, Democracy) that came to Korea (and China) came by way of Japan. The Japanese Empire was the first polity in East Asia to adopt and apply Western political concepts to their government. Large numbers of Korean and Chinese scholars went to Japan to study and brought these concepts (as well as the vocabulary itself) from Japan back to their native countries with them. As a result, essentially all modern political thought in East Asia was tinted by Japanese imperialist ideology.
Sure, "some period" is fine. When you buy stuff on eBay, for example, your product might not even ship for a couple of days.

In this case, though, it was a month later and they still hadn't been delivered. That's no longer reasonable.

It's possible the ticket issuers won't issue tickets even in that timeframe. StubHub's web site has warnings that the tickets might not be available until 72 hours before the event. In which case they either need to forbid reselling such tickets, or have massive penalties for breaking the contract.
Looks like "ticketsforless.com" got some great free PR (if they manage to spin the media on this) - from the FB comments:

Jason Durbin · VP of Ticket Operations at Tickets For Less

Jesse Sandler – I’m the VP of Ticket Operations at Tickets For Less. We’ve reached out to TheLeadSports.com and are trying to contact you. We have four seats for you in section 106 for Kobe’s last home game. Please contact me or our President Dan Rouen at 913-685-3322.
Agreed; this is probably already fraud between the seller and the buyer, ignoring StubHub's involvement already. It's unlikely we need any laws to "fix" this because the ones that have been around for centuries are probably already sufficient. Small-claims court may already be an available avenue of relief as in many states this would fit under the limit, though the internet can as always make jurisdiction a tricky issue: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/small-claims-suits-ho...
They would get paid as soon as I start getting paid. Another reason to do our best to get funded fast.

Yeah, good equity, nothing confirmed yet though.
Thanks for the reference. I didn't know where it came from, but since posting the comment above I've learned the correct way to write it :).

Perhaps SH was secretly the seller.
You might also want to look at the techniques which gyms use to extract maximum revenue from aspirational users. In particular, heavily encouraging/discounting annual memberships.

(Then again, extracting a year of revenue from someone who only uses it a month or two might not be your cup of tea.)
That's my opinion. I use low carb diets because I go around at a calorie deficit but I feel full all the time. Protein and fats are very filling.
Maybe we should just toss "terrorists" into the nearest river, if they float they're a terrorist and get hanged, if they sink, then they die but are innocent...

Wait, no, that's the Salem witch trials, for some reason I always mix up terrorism accusations in 2015, and the Salem witch trials from 1692...

A lot of these cases seem to come up. They seem to fall into two "camps," legitimately dangerous individuals collecting resources for a future event (guns, bombs, etc) and fishing expeditions where they try to borderline entrap the gullible or stupid.

The question is: Do the agents not ever question what they're doing morally? If you need to talk someone into committing a crime are you really serving justice? And if you aren't serving justice then what is the point in any of it?
Not exactly free if the tickets are going for $6,000 each, but still a genius move.
Or SH can work with other stakeholders in the industry to develop alternative systems of digital transfer and record keeping of ticket ownership.

Paper tickets have some benefits, but there should be a way to void a paper ticket and convert it to a digital ticket that can be transferred electronically. Escrow costs would be a lot lower of SH is only escrowing digital ownership that can be transferred back to the seller if the tickets haven't sold.
I feel like this is something Amazon could do very well...
> wildly different network stack that happens to offer similar enough TCP-like abstractions that user-level code often is only slightly affected, but everything else in the stack is profoundly affected.

TCP itself hasn't changed. TCP is a protocol that sits on top of IP (version 4 or 6). Same with UDP. Yes the IP stack has changed, that kind of thing happens when you bump the version number ;-)

So from an application standpoint TCP/UDP haven't changed, the only thing that has changed is the structure to set up the IP connection, and even that is hidden away for most users (getaddrinfo() deals with most of the complexities for developers).

Percent signs in an address are only used on link-local segments with link-local addresses, as they are the only way to distinguish what network interface to use. In almost all cases where you are dealing with IPv6 you can completely ignore that aspect because you won't have to deal with it, especially as an application developer trying to make connections to IPv6 hosts, or even starting servers/listening for incoming connections.

> The advantage of the "just extend it" plan is that it would have been that easy.

I disagree. This still requires that the entire IP stack be upgraded to support it, applications still need to update all of their network handling code to deal with the extensions, we'd be in exactly the same boat.
You're wrong about which meaning is more likely.

A meaning that adds something to a sentence is a more likely meaning than one that adds nothing to a sentence. If you take "legacy" to mean "being migrated from" then the sentence becomes

This feature also removes the last significant barrier to migrating being-migrated-from MySQL applications to PostgreSQL.

It's more likely that if "being migrated from" was the intended meaning, they would have simply left the word out.
Age old problem. It is why PayPal exists. Arbitrage on transactions where trust is a problem. SH could warranty to make a comparable ticket available on any consummated transaction - probably they should given the reputational loss they've incurred.

I think the idea of banning a religion is idiotic (obviously?), but comparing banning Muslims entering the country to Carter banning Iranian visas is on the same level as saying "Well it snowed today, so much for global warming hue hue"
I remember this too when I was at school (I was ~12/13 at the time the war started). The British media and government were firmly onside with Iraq whilst writing up over egged horror stories of torture and depravity being inflicted by Iran on its own citizens, all the time ignoring Hussain's human rights violations (and those of the then exiled Shah of Iran). There was a palpable sense of glee that Iran might get it's comeuppance for having the audacity to overthrow the Shah.

I bet the US and UK governments are ruing the day they decided to interfere in Iran's democratic affairs back in 1953.

What with Reagan shooting his mouth off about the Russians, a deepening cold war (not helped by the Iran/Iraq war - US and allies backing Iraq, the Soviet Union backing Iran), the Soviets deploying to Afghanistan....all in all, not a great time to be growing up as a teenager aware of world affairs. I really thought the world was about to bite the big green nuclear banana between 1980 and 1985.
I'm really sick of fanboy products always being compared to a iphone. The Kinect was an iphone. The Ouya was an iphone. The Apple Watch was going to be the new iphone. Or other high profile kickstarter turkeys like the mprinter, smarty ring, myIDkey, etc.

Gee, maybe we should stop pretending we can all spot the next iphone from this far out?

RLS doesn't require the use of a db user. For example you could use a session variable to identify your logical user and use that in the RLS query.
> A proper background check [0] discovers with a relatively high degree of certainty whether or not one is likely to assault another (among many other things).

...yet you don't want Uber to do proper background checks. Okay.

That makes no sense and you basically admit I'm correct then go on and on about something else.

> From what I can tell (and from what I've read in the Uber driver recruitment letters I've been getting in the mail), Uber et. al. are straightforward about the limits of their insurance.

Once again, you aren't countering my argument in any way shape or form. You are saying "Well, yes the burden is shifted to drivers and that is okay."

> You all-but-explicitly claimed that nontraditional cab companies were making it difficult to understand the limits of their insurance policies

You clearly don't understand what I've written at all and I'm going to stop here because its pretty clear you are attacking strawmen and patting yourself on the back for it for some bizarre reason.
No, Hypervisor.framework will not help with this use case. It is a replacement for the kernel extensions that are currently provided by VMWare/Parallels/VirtualBox to expose the Intel VT-x feature of the CPU.

You would need a way to stop the official kernel extensions from initializing the PCIe device. Then Apple would need to offer a way to map address range and deliver interrupts from the hardware to a process.
Would a small claims court in this case do anything besides ensure the buyer got a refund, which they already got anyway?
> AFAIK, Uber does do a background check for drivers in the US.

They do a cheaper less effective version than is required for cab drivers in many areas (e.g. Houston)
Interestingly from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machine#History

"An estimated 100,000 Enigma machines were constructed. After the end of World War II, the Allies sold captured Enigma machines, still widely considered secure, to developing countries".

I'm sure they were quite happy to sell Enigma and also decrypt their communications for nearly another 30 years.

And an osx-guest? I'm currently running vmware fusion for this. It'd be great to be able to ditch it and use something that's really native.
There is a favicon, but it 403s!
The fact that it "deserves" its own page is precisely my point. "It has more features" -> "it takes more implementation work than just replacing all addresses". Even ignoring the base work of making things dual-stack you have fundamental rewrites of base assumptions about addresses to take into account.
And to do so securely, which is a rather different question all on its own.

Many countries used Enigma and its derivatives after the war; the UK and US did not want those countries to know they could read their messages.
Thanks! Didn't expect that "built over the weekend" might send the wrong vibes. True that it doesn't add value in explaining the idea. Will definitely take note.
Every interface can have 1 or more IPv6 IP's. Link-local and N number of others, where N is 0 or more.

What kind of tweaks have you required in your deployments because of this?

DSR is a special use case, and with each interface having a link-local address means you don't need to provide globally unique addresses, because the source/destination specify their route explicitly, each hop can use their link-local address. DSR would also require modification if it was using an extended version of IPv4...
Ah, understood. Thanks.

> Open-source, meanwhile, has struggled to provide a basic desktop environment to rival the best from five years ago.

Open-source is pretty young on the desktop arena. Consider that Microsoft ruled the entire nineties and tried all tricks in the book to sabotage linux. Despite this, the fact that linux desktops are even available today is nothing short of a miracle! IMHO, the GNOME and Unity desktops are mature enough to handle 90% of users' needs, the only exception is gaming but that gap is also rapidly getting filled.

> It's simply too much work without a paid, focused, and highly-skilled product team consisting of more than just developers.

Consider that the OS that powers all kinds of devices from satellites to embedded devices is Linux, an open-source project where payment isn't a top-priority for developers, but merit is!

> And they're still fighting the chicken-and-egg problem of user-adoption.

All endeavors are like that, not just software projects. More the user participation, better the product focus and development.

> I don't like the spyware "features," but I don't think I'll be going back to Linux any time soon and giving up all the great software I've come to depend on.

Can you cite a single widely used software that doesn't have a FOSS alternative which works on Linux. Unless you are heavily dependent of Microsoft Excel worksheets and their arcane proprietary macros, I don't see a reason not to switch (besides just being lethargic to learn something new).
It works now if you push all your Firefox bookmarks to Pocket. :)
They currently guarantee "comparable replacement tickets or send you a refund." It sounds like in practice they try for the "comparable replacement tickets" first... except that according to them there were none in this case, because all the remaining tickets were really expensive!
Offering the option to disable telemetry means Microsoft won't get telemetry data from the intersection of users who 1. don't just roll with the defaults for everything (many UX studies have shown that this applies to only a tiny percentage of users), and 2. care enough about privacy to want to turn telemetry off (this number is likely tiny relative to the overall Windows 10 userbase considering how great the adoption rates of Windows 10 has been so far despite mandatory telemetry), and 3. use Windows 10 (a significant percentage of users in 2. have already avoided Windows 10 specifically because of the mandatory telemetry).

That intersection of users seems absolutely miniscule relative to the overall Windows 10 userbase, and in most cases the telemetry data they contribute is not going to be any larger than a margin of error in Microsoft's Windows 10 overall telemetry trends.

Nobody is going to argue that telemetry isn't useful for developers, but at some point you have to decide if it's worth it to force users into giving you telemetry data if it means driving potential users away to competitors and giving fuel to a very vocal minority of users that write unfavorable articles and comments on news sites, blogs, and social media at every opportunity because of this decision.
I don't agree. In my opinion, evil is something done selfishly, knowing it will harm others. If you are doing terrible things because you believe they are right, then you aren't evil. Just wrong, or deluded.

Granted, some of the things the Nazis did were evil, in the sense they were selfish. Valuing their own race and country above others, for example.
ATL was much worse than Dallas in this go around. You did not get 3 9s in the last month if your service was located solely in ATL. They were completely null routed for the majority of 2 days.
Currently in testing, in a few weeks we're hoping to release it on the AppStore
This is actually doing what you're last sentence suggests. It is intended as a platform and for people to publish series of cards on and it is a hosted service. The creation is limited to the app currently. The web site is secondary, this is primarily an app. A problem with apps and a reason why the web site even exists is that they lack discoverability when starting out. The web site offers a 'view only' view of the cards that are fully interactive on the app.

The value prop here is a combination of a few things. The card format stands out in usability when viewing on mobile devices particularly on larger screens such as iPhone 6 Plus. The way a card can be manipulated and expanded makes it ideally suited for that type of device. Combining that with a way to organize cards by series makes it a straightforward way to get at sometimes highly niche information such as the example of video game characters or items.
More severe penalties for reneging would seem to make sense too. This could potentially be problematic in cases of scalping (e.g., the seller scalps a ticket right before someone else makes a purchase on SH), but this is simply another case where digital transfer of ownership would make way more sense. If SH could see a ticket had changed hands, they could immediately pull it from their site.

No seriously, I saw many cases with BBC, like when they conduct an interview about political situation with a person pretending to have telepathic abilities.

In this particular case, google translate learns from texts existing in both english and russian (for example newspapers which are published in two languages, etc)

I doubt there are newspapers or other texts where russian article saying "Russia" is translated to english with "Mordor".

It's much more likely a kind of flashmob by ukrainan users who submitted manual corrections to google translate.
I never said it was, and have no idea how you came to that conclusion.
Agreed, I did a short bit of research on simulation, and in this case (rotational dynamics) moment of inertia is substituted for mass in the force calculation, and when standing still, that is always near zero. Therefore very little energy should be necessary to maintain it.
I have thousands of dollars to spend on something like this if it had an arm and could do things like get items from the fridge by verbal order (with no step by step programming, just visual recognition of the fridge and how to open it), play catch with the dog, sweep up, act as a security guard when I'm gone, etc.

Robotics is one of those things where the hardware, price, and networking are there but the software isn't. We don't have an AI-lite engine we can toss in for simple things a dog could understand like "get my slippers." Until someone cracks that code, this stuff is just going to be rich-boy novelties and unneeded contenders in the already over-saturated telepresence market.
Great quotes, but, regarding the last point, I actually think the Chinese in the front, with more detail, look better than the pale Japanese in the other poster.

Hence my 1st takeaway:

"StubHub should be more transparent about the seller-side risks involved when "selling tickets" to customers"
