Agile in 2016: Product Managers Using Feature Flags
The problem is that cheap fossil fuels are a good platform, but not a call to action for a carbon tax.

A carbon tax would force additional costs on energy companies, who are already scrambling to lay people off in the face of low oil prices. Some would probably be hired back into the renewables/green sector, but it would probably have the net affect of getting a substantial number of people laid off. No politician wants unemployment to increase in their voter base.

If enacted at the federal level, it would increase the price of all forms of energy. The average consumer, who sees the low price of oil as a small silver lining on a large post-recessionary cloud, would be loathe to pay more and would blame the government for trying to take away the one "advantage" they've recently received. No politician wants unhappy voters blaming them for higher gas prices and electricity bills.

Not to mention the enormous and protracted legal battle that big oil and coal companies would be sure to wage against a federal carbon tax.

The only thing that will get enough of the population concerned about unsustainable carbon emissions is when they see the things closest to them - food, water, housing, clothing - decline in quality or increase in price due clearly and demonstrably to carbon emissions. They need to believe that carbon emissions are the fundamental, undeniable cause of rising sea levels, a decimation of crops or livestock due to strange weather patterns, an increase in natural disasters, etc. Nobody cares about an intangible and "scientifically debatable" issue like global warming due to carbon emission until their house is underwater, especially when pollution is great for the economy in the short term.

Ho! It still should works.

Reinvention of the wheel maybe? Or the wisdom of old sysadmins being forgotten in the maelstrom of devops culture?
Yeah, when I read the parent comment, I thought that None was part of a type like Maybe, but the next sentence describes it as a unit type:

> Of course, it does have a value, so that you can check what it is, and the value is the single instance of None.
NY is familiar with push-the-limit prohibitions.

In comparison: NY passed the "SAFE Act" which, among other things, banned sale of "assault weapons" and required current owners register. The compliance rate with the registration requirement is about 4% ... out of a half-million owners.

NY is willing to go far, and sweep up violators as they're found.
If the tax takes the form of a fee-and-dividend (I think it probably should anyway), then higher oil prices shouldn't make it less politically viable (I think).

Under such a policy, the average consumer of fuel will break even on the tax regardless.

Google "carbon fee and dividend" or see this (http://www.skepticalscience.com/CCL-pushing-for-US-fee-and-d...) for more.
Are you sure its not FUD?

I setup the dev team of a startup(in Delhi, India) I was consulting with with Atom for react and node dev few months back. These guys were provided pretty shitty, and pretty old, 4 gig ram laptops. And they used to screw up things which could've easily been resolved with in-text-editor linting. I got them running atom with emmet, babel and ESlint, and they are still using it without any issues.

I have seen atom run reasonably well on really shitty machines. Its very hard for me to accept that all this complaining about its performance is not FUD.
I agree, and that's why the crucial part is the ability to ask for your money back.

Generally I've been happy with the articles I paid for based on its popularity and what publication it was from. But if I recall correctly I asked for my money back once or twice.

The reason I like Blendle is precisely that I've found few magazines or newspapers that are worth their subscription money. It's cheaper for me to pay for that occasional article that is written by a friend or recommended to me.
These guys know what's up. It's good to see security experts like d.k. getting involved. advisory i'm trying to help them out

Show HN: MonkeyClapping – connect with fans at concerts, chat and make a lightshow
Website:
http://bit.ly/monkeyclapping

Our friend Dani blows up a balloon in a pre-launch video:
http://bit.ly/1REQQWK [youtube]

And the story behind the app:
http://bit.ly/1TWh6JC [linkedin]

---------

monkeyclapping is the way to connect with people and have shared experiences at any live music show or sporting event.

Fans can capture and share pictures/videos with others at that event (from any angle, seating position, moment, etc). These pics/vids go into a shared media grid, which is constantly updated for all attendees.

You can tweet out or share a link to the media stream so your friends can experience the excitement remotely. Great if you couldn't get tickets to that Taylor Swift concert that sold out minutes ago..you can still watch worthwhile snippets from home as it happens in real time.

Attendees can also group chat with all other fans both during and after the event.

We have created a new effect we call "lightmoji" (like an emoji but with a swatch of light). When recipients click on a lightmoji, their phone screens become that color. lightmoji are great for showing team spirit (you and your friends can together turn your phone to a team color), locate someone across the venue, or to create your own light show (like xyloband but on your phone).

So that's the value proposition, as of the v1 release.

Any comments on why this is great or what is lacking (and we could do to tweak it) are very much appreciated.

If only that's how it worked, I'd be very happy. I'm a US resident and all my billing info is in the US, but I travel frequently.

It's infuriating that I can't continue watching a TV show or movie just because I happened to cross a national border. For now, I use a proxy to always have access to US content, but if Netflix starts blocking that I'm going to cancel my account.
Its a way to emphasize the point, and I agree with you that it pushes it into deception. That said, it seems like most of the people looking at homes in my neighborhood both people work, and generally at engineering median[1], not area median salaries. So when you're annual income is 250K plus, spending 6K a month on a $1.5M mortgage is 1/3 your income.

I'm not talking about individuals buying flight insurance, but airliners insuring their planes. All airline customers indirectly pay for that.

I don't understand why or how an insurance company would raise rates in one area because of increased costs in a different area. If the costs in the first area haven't gone up, but they still raise rates, then they'll just be undercut by other insurance companies who don't raise rates, and lose business. And if they don't raise rates in the area where costs have gone up, then they'll lose money on it.

When I search for "insurance levies" all I can find are taxes on insurance premiums.

The main issue identified by Qualys is a more generic memory disclosure bug:

https://www.qualys.com/2016/01/14/cve-2016-0777-cve-2016-077...

This means they are basically able to dump the memory of just the running `ssh` process -- eerily similar to Heartbleed.

This means private keys stored by the `ssh-agent` process, outside of the `ssh` process connecting to an Evil Server(TM) are not affected.

This is because the protocol used between SSH Agent and SSH client does not transfer the entire private key, rather the SSH client asks the Agent to do a signing operation on it's behalf.
I have a setup with mutt as MUA and offlineimap/msmtpq for smtp/imap handling mainly because I always want an offline access to all my mail hosted on gmail which I can search anytime when without network access.

set sendmail="msmtpq --wait 30"
set sendmail_wait=-1 #send in the background

I think I prefer the Option type to using a union with None here, for the reason that you state. I'm coming at this from a type theory / language design perspective: unit types are very different than nullable types, though if you write a union type with unit as one of the possibilities, well...

EDIT: Sorry, I was thinking of sum vs product here, union types are sum types. So this is the same thing as Option. Sounds good. The advantage of using a union type is that you _have_ to check. This is significantly better than nulls.

Prediction markets work much better than polls. This is because those who know are willing to bet on it, and those who do not are (rightly) reluctant.[1] Some such as Tetlock have (plausibly) claimed they can do even better than prediction markets, but not by listening to random commenters with no skin in the game.[2]

TLDR; Talk is cheap, and people are much more careful with their wallets than their mouths (or keyboards).

I would seriously HATE to be one of Netflix's content negotiators. That has to be one frustrating job trying to get content producers to realize they have been asleep for the past decade and the world has changed.
That's a good point.

But I do see where the claim is coming from. Pony is aimed at the same kind of compile-to-bare-metal that we do with C, C++, Fortran, etc. Furthermore, Pony's design explicitly deals with many of the issues that get in the way of aggressive optimization in other PLs: pointer aliasing, dynamic type checking, data races, etc.

So Pony was clearly designed with high performance in mind. And it seems likely to me that the efforts made in that direction are practical, workable ones.

But that is not the same as saying, "We can write a Pony compiler that generates fast code." And it is certainly not the same as, "We have written a Pony compiler that generates fast code."
There will be a time every civilized OS will default to Python 3. In fact, the next Ubuntu does so. For us, that time is next March.

There is less and less reason to write code in Python 2. Not many libraries require it.

But the cultural problem comes from somewhere. And if we're going to reward those who "succeed" with unimaginable riches, the penalties for failing at that scale need to be equally harsh. Alternatively, we realize this, and thus implement a tax structure such that we have no more billionaires.
> I doubt it too, but I'm willing to waste the karma on putting it forth as a valid alternative.

If you make something that people want, then make it hard to get legally, alternatives will be found.

Region locking spurs piracy, it doesn't hinder it.
I do ssh directly to the VM. It sits behind a VPN connection at aws. I need to make ssh connections from there to github. The key resides on a smartcard in my laptops usb slot. And that's where ssh-agent/ForwardAgent comes into play. I forward my local key to the remote VM.
I don't see that day coming in my lifetime. There are simply too many design variables. You can't engineer a totally new product with AI. It's one thing to make improvements to an existing design.
> Beyond that, if I thought it was just broke teens pirating, then I probably wouldn't feel the need to speak up, but it's not nearly limited to that demographic. I have six-figure-income, grown up friends who swap pirated seasons of TV shows and in-theater movies with each other on Plex.

Yes, but you are an American who largely has legal access to the content at a reasonable price in relation to your income.

That isn't true of some guy in Mexico who makes $5k/year and is Region 4 with Australia.
Great! It's awesome to see you taking the initiative! Might be an exception in the making.

Im about to leave for work but quick question. What I want to see is an open equivalent of Google's F1 RDBMS: the best one. Does yours already provide its attributes, is it more like Spanner jnstead, or what? Aside from CochroachDB, where is OSS on a F1 competitor?

I'm not sure why you're downvoted, the AOL search log case was a huge mistake on the part of AOL and I'm quite surprised that Yahoo! would take a risk like this. The real risk is never in just this data but in combining it with other public datasets. I haven't looked at what is in this particular dump in detail but if there is data that had to be anonymized (as they claim) then you can bet that there will be people already busy trying to reverse that.

The thing is that it still strikes me as rather arrogant to compare pirating to something like scientology, or imply that it is 'respectless' to my fellow man. Even just based on this HN thread, there's probably a huge part of society that is 1) intelligent, 2) conscientious, and 3) does not consider pirating a big crime. I just need to look at myself and the vast majority of my friends to confirm this.

I could defend my point of view by saying that I would simply not download certain things if there was no easy way to do so, but clearly we disagree on this issue. But arguing that it's 'simply' lack of respect for your fellow man and 'simply' taking does not do the issue justice.

Either it is as simple as you say, and all of us who pirate are lesser creatures than yourself (which would be convenient to conclude), or it's not as simple as you say. I don't really see how there's a third option, and that's the problem I had with your comment.
Barclays joins Innovate UK £175,000 startup competition
I remember sitting in a tiny conference room at Monster.com during the first Boston BarCamp in 2006 and listening to this kid from RIT give a talk to maybe 15 of us about his new library called jQuery. I think I asked some dumb question about if method chaining allowed for conditionals.
that's the worst case scenario. But the thing is that you are basically investing all your money in one asset, you aren't diversified. In order to have enough money left over to diversify you need to make a lot here...like...$500k+ a lot.
What is "unwanted" sexual advances? Is it a colleague asking out for a drink, ignoring that the woman was already seeing someone or not interested in dating? It is "unwanted", but the colleague may just have been taking a shot. It is said that work is the main environment where people find their partner.

Now, if "unwanted" means "He asked, I declined and he kept asking me out every day after that" then yes it is a problem.

Living south of San Jose and working in SF means very long commutes. Working in San Jose though it would be fine, just like working in Fremont or Milpitas is great for folks living in those towns. If you're working in the Santa Clara valley (aka Silicon Valley) you can live in a lot of places, but commuting north/south on 85 is painful to say the least.
What a nonsense. They can as well try to forbid selling books in stores to foreigners. It's pointless and it's exactly the same level of stupidity idea. Let's see any store making such a policy and what kind of idiots they'll be taken for. Somehow Netflix and Co. think it's supposed to be normal in digital case?
This is basically the only reason they are cracking down at all. I'm sure Netflix doesn't care, but if the rights holders see them as being "soft" on proxy use then they might charge more or sue. They will block what is easy to block so they can point and say "hey look, we tried!"
I think there is something else going on in real estate. This is the only asset class with significantly above average gains for decades. It does go down once in a while but it comes roaring back in relatively short time. Even when dropping, it rarely goes below 25% protecting most of the principal. This is about the only item that had massive inflation in past 7 years.

I think what is happening is real estate is becoming currency just like what gold was used to be. In economics, you can make anything a currency which cannot be manufactured easily and is available in quantity that is very hard to grow. Economists are puzzled why the tons of money poured in to system through QEs isn't producing any inflation. I think QEs are indeed producing massive inflation but it all goes in to real estate. Funds like Blackstone eventually ends up with significant chunk of QE money and guess what is their major investment activity these days? The easy "inexpensive" money is the best way to inflate real estate. It's a like you eat a lot but only your waist is accumulating all the fat and you wonder why your hands and feet remain so thin. I suspect this trend will continue because people are realizing real estate is more safer currency that can be relied upon as opposed to stocks or anything else. The safety is derived from the fact that, in worst case, it can be rented to generate better than interest returns or physically be used. This assumption can only be violated if interest rates grows a lot beyond rent income and thus in high inflation. However overall economic inflation cannot happen if all the surplus keeps landing in real estate. So it seems like virtuous self locked cycle.
Adding winston logging to NodeJs project with sentry
The median 2 bedroom apartment in SF is currently about $4600/month. This means that even with a roommate to split the bills with, at a salary of $90k you're looking at spending nearly 50% of your take home just on rent. Add in utilities, food, transportation, etc and $90k pretty rapidly stops looking so great.
I have the same issue. I think it's because of changes on the autocomplete settings, but I can't pinpoint it.

Have you had any lock? It's annoying as hell as there is no close button either.
Right, if you are underwater this means you basically have to walk away and lose it all. If you are renting you just lose the rent paid, which is a lot, which is why there really isn't a "smart" way to live in the bay area.
Your concerns are completly right but there is a catch:
Let's Encrypt is trying to lower the barrier in money and time to offer encrypted connection between a server and you.
Even now there are different level of certificate in the standard, you could notice it when you see the lock icon in your browser turning green or not. Hacker News, for example, doesn't offer owner information so it's grey; Twitter instead turn green as it uses the most secure certificate.

The fact is that when you connect to my website ilikeapple.com in which I write about my experience as a apple farmer, you don't need to be sure of my server identity ('cause you don't even know my website) but you could still need message confidentiality ('cause you don't want your rival farmer to know that you are interested in planting apple tree next year).

So, don't put your credit card number in a site that not offer server identity (Hacker News for example) but don't worry too much about the certificate of let's Encrypt because are the lower level possible of certificate.

P.S. They are working to expand the same concept at "higher grade" certificate but of course is a work in progress (and is not sure it's possible)
Honest question: do those confidence levels account for how the participants are chosen? Or is it assumed that it's random?
I agree that this seems easily solvable. We use SPOT Trace (http://findmespot.com/en/index.php?cid=128) units on offshore tug boats, as do many in the shipping industry. These periodically send their GPS location back via Globalstar. It seems to me that if a passenger jet can be approved to install satellite TV receivers, it could be approved for these.
No, they don't. I have 35-year old friends who make upwards of $150k, and still pirate movies and TV shows. But they're smart enough to stay within the speed limit. They said it was something about the probability of dying being really high while speeding, and them wanting to stay alive...
I wonder at what point Netflix as a distributor gets powerful enough to dictate terms to media providers rather than the other way around (like "This content will be playable in any country where Netflix offers service.")
The disabled javascript is the cause of the issue here. The page waits till all the images are loaded and then begins the initial animation. I will need to find a workaround for people who have JS disabled. Out of curiosity though, why is Javascript disabled in your browser? :)
