We offer meaningful equity at an early stage company, a competitive salary, top-tier medical, dental and vision insurance, and flexible work hours and vacation time.
Does anyone have a favorite "Shared Family Calendar"? We need something to keep track of everyone's school schedule, reports/projects due, sports games/practices, etc. etc.

I've tried Google and Trello ... wondering if there's something better.
The API is interesting; looks more like a natural language versus syntax. I'm actually working on something that would be able to create that syntax for you though it's not something you'd be able to integrate anytime soon however I do see the value in it!
I wish there was a decent alternative. CP2102's are absolutely dog slow when it comes to bit banging. You need entire round trips for everything.
This is absolutely not true! The "source" is often minified JavaScript code, which is not the source code. In legal terms, it is a binary. It's a build artifact, the output of a program, not a human. Source code is the preferred form of modifying a program. The developers of a web application certainly don't use this form of their program when hacking on it. Giving someone a concatenated, minified version of a JavaScript web application is not giving them software freedom.

And even if the JavaScript files were not minified, they likely aren't available for user modification and redistribution because they are protected by copyright and a license that says "all rights reserved."

GMail also has built-in search. Google docs has documents. Both are free.
Just a side question on the issue of animal welfare, but how do you handle the paradox of the spider and the butterfly? I'm not sure it has an official name, so a simple description is that some animals kill other animals to keep themselves alive (such as a spider hunting a butterfly), so how do you provide for the welfare of both?
Yahoo still has a bunch of really smart people doing important open source contributions - I wish all of them all the best and I really hope that the tighter belt will allow them to continue their work.
Good stuff - I know this has been in the pipeline for sometime. Excited to see it out in the wild. Congrats to the Zapier team on producing an awesome product - look forward to using multi-step zaps.
>This is a thread about a bug in Microsoft Edge

So... where are the threads about the bugsI linked? Why were they not voted up so highly on HN? That was my only point about the story selection and how getting tech news from only HN can cause a blind spot.
Before 2005 the Linux kernel was managed by BitKeeper, then Git happened and took over the world. The free software folks that were criticizing the usage of BitKeeper for the Linux kernel weren't able to offer alternatives, whereas Git was born from the hands of the same pragmatists that were using BitKeeper. Linux itself, along with the GNU toolchain, happened after Multics, Unix, 80386 and MINIX. Well OK, the GNU project was started before 80386, but nevertheless it was started as a clone of Unix. You can see that from its recursive name.

Or in other words, sometimes what you call proprietary software also represents innovation that can be copied and innovated upon should the need arise. Free Software activists sometimes make it sound like the whole movement has been a liberation effort, which is far from the truth, as most open-source software has been development for profit or for fun, having nothing to do with ideals.

> if we want to see a world in which users can control their computers

If we want to see that world happening, we must first ensure that the people building software can earn a decent living, because frankly, we deserve it. I mean, first come up with business models that work. And do note that there has been room for a single Red Hat.

Ideally people would recognize how much software is worth and pay even for free software. In practice people are pirating the shit out of everything and install ad-blockers while feeling morally justified in doing so. Therefore while I find closed platforms abhorrent, I can't help but think that it's a justified overreaction of the software industry when faced with hordes of self-entitled assholes.

But that aside, having users control their computers is not the primary motivation by which open source / free software gets built.
>you have to pay to get slave addresses

You what? But there's only a hundred of them.
It gets worse.

Please don't post snarky dismissals to HN, especially of new work. Substantive criticism is fine, of course, but snarky dismissals lower the quality of the discussion.
what worries me is false positives preventing a user from accessing the website
How do you think open source projects have preserved message history on the existing open source alternatives discussed in this thread (IRC & Jabber)? You set up & maintain your own logging bots.
In terms of actual money, that's not wrong. The core operations are at about break-even per the 2014 report:

I find it to be garbage self promotion when an article with little and/or poor content is submitted by the author and immediately gets 10+ upvotes without any comments, sending it straight to the front page.

In this case, straight to the front page despite many negative comments about the content.

If the article is not an Amazon link farm, it sure as hell reads exactly like one. So much so that my assumption is that the author intended to add in referral codes at a later date when reaching peak audience.
If this post were titled "Please don't use OS X for FOSS projects" nobody would take it seriously. I'm struggling to see the difference ...
I can turn your comment on its head and it works quite well: we can't settle for technically inferior free software if we want to see a world in which users can control their computers.

There are some people like you who have an ideology that pushes them to always choose free software. There are some people who care a bit about free software but will abandon it if the costs are high enough. Then there are some people who don't care about it at all.

You better at least have something to offer the second group if you don't want to die out.
They are bringing suit under the California WARN statues which really doesn't address the root of the issue: Employment at will. The US is the ONLY developed country which makes Employment at will public policy for non-union employees. All states in the US make at-will policy except Montana.

A much better system would be "Just Cause". Where causes for termination have to be defined, and can't be nebulous. The rest of the developed world implements this as public policy.
Think of the Children! In this case, actually do. Poverty is often exhibited as a cycle. Poor parents, parents with disability, lack of education, or whatever reason someone is poor, will not be able to give it's children a fair opportunity. Chances are the cycle will repeat, the child will be poor too. With a basic reasonable minimum income, I believe that the next generation could turn out better. Hopefully, this could help steer a country away from the cycle of poverty, and benefit society as a whole. Obviously, you'd need to wait 30 years to see such benefit, and you might not care enough to want you wallet to pay for other people's future children and the society you leave behind, but if you do care, I think it's an argument to consider.

Either way, I'm not gonna go ahead and proclaim it's a good idea or not, but I think it's a valid idea that demands thought, and experimentation.

I hope Switzerland has the capacity to both pass this law, and retract it if it doesn't pan out as expected.
>Yahoo's strength was its diversity; it was a one-stop shop for everything internet.

I consider that its greatest weakness.

It didn't do any of these things particularly well. So focused competitors (Google, GoDaddy, eBay/Amazon, Skype/AIM, etc.) eventually took over and dominated. Yahoo never really retaliated by making their services any better. In fact, I can't even think about any major overhauls to any of Yahoo's various products. They've come out with a few nifty things (none of which I can even remember by name) and that's all I can remember about them since 2003-2004. In 2012 I was surprised to hear they were still in business, to be quite honest.
I'm not twisting facts, just stated he didn't even stay after the announcement to checkout the car, that's on him. Also this was a reply to the parent comment talking about seeing the car.

I'm also not saying it was right for Tesla to ban him, that was shitty, but getting so angry over a late start and ranting about it in a blog post directed at Elon also wasn't a great choice.
It's expected that you aren't going to be gumdrops and rainbows about your prior employer in an interview. The point of this rule is that you don't look like you're bitter or holding a grudge; if the new company thinks you create vendettas whenever there's a problem, they're going to want to stay away from you for fear that you'll be unfair to them if such a misunderstanding arises in the course of your employment with them (e.g., hurting their reputation in the marketplace, leaking source code because you're mad at your boss).

It'd be reasonable to say something like "We had different perspectives on the structure of the workplace and it just wasn't really what I was looking for". They'll probably ask "Oh, what was the issue?" and you'll say "I needed to work remotely to be at the bedside of an ailing parent and they said they'd fire me if I tried, so I quit".

You don't want to look like you're blaming them for making you miss your parents' final moments (we're grownups and take personal responsibility for things like that, don't allow people to stop you from participating in important life milestones), which is why it's a good idea to allow them to dig a little bit before getting at the real dispute. This is a good principle when discussing previous employers anyway. You always want to sound like you're over whatever the slight was, that you see and understand their perspective and don't blame them for having it, but simply don't agree with it. You won't be faulted for that.
Why Electronic Voting Is a Bad Idea
You might want to look up the definition of evidence. My reading of three definitions just doesn't quite match your definition. But no big deal. I think we agree, and this has become about word interpretation.

It's pretty common for "elite" colleges and universities to use the same course materials as state or community colleges, but to get further into it. So the textbooks would be the same, the exercises would be the same, but students at a top school would go through them faster and have an extra 2-3 weeks at the end of the course to study material at the back of a textbook. Or the professor would interject some of his own research at points within the course, taking a week out of the "standard" syllabus to learn something cutting-edge.

It's quite rare for a course anywhere to get through all of the textbook - regardless of where you go, there will still be material left unlearned. (This is why one of my favorite learning strategies is to buy the textbook and then self-teach my way through it at my own pace.)
When you click the refund link in the footer, you are presented with a page not found error:

Is this supposed to be scam or a joke?
Your analogy is not really valid. Although the NTSB is not talking, the cause is reported to be "loss of situational awareness". In essence, the conductor was in some degree at fault because he was controlling the speed and the train was going 105mph instead of 55mph.

There could have been other contributing factors (rock, tough schedule), but it seems likely that their severity will not be known -- the information just is not there.

Surely you would concede that the right course of action here is not obvious?
He was 3 when I bought him at the bird store I worked at.
His name is Casanova, which is ironic because he doesn't like women except for me. He's a manly bird for manly men, but I have a motorcycle so I guess that makes me acceptable.

He was a lot more aggressive a few years ago. Since I started working him with a glove (for the same reason falconers do, protection and better footing for the bird) and making him wear a harness to go outside, his attitude has improved considerably.

Galahs are adorable, but pinchy and overpriced.
That's a busy 6 months...
Having been in government, this seems to be the opposite of what I've seen. Makes me think it is fully a byproduct of culture, independent of the work done.
It's the default search engine for Firefox.

But mostly, Yahoo has a bunch of successful properties (finance, sports, tumblr) that still have users.
It's not defined very clearly in the article, but they seem to use the definition from an earlier article:

>"Positive fantasies about the future are positively experienced mental images of future desired events that emerge in the stream of thought ... They depict an idealized version of the future that may include the attainment of desired future outcomes, as well as smooth, idealized processes of working toward these outcomes."
Kappes, H. B., & Oettingen, G. (2011). Positive fantasies about
idealized futures sap energy
In general, how does the splitting thing work? I guess I buy 12 GB RAM + some storage and then can create virtual machines using it up piecemeal?

If so, I quite like that model: It's not overpriced and splitting everything up into individual VPS is useful, esp. if it comes with an API. A single 12 GB VPS is cheaper, but getting 12 1-GB VPS would probably be more expensive, at least at a provider with an API.
It's a carbon copy of this template: http://themes.getbootstrap.com/products/marketing

Even the pricing area and the footer text are 100% just a copy.

There is certainly not functional hosting service behind that, but maybe it a vehicle to test the water and collect emails of potential customers...
Down the drain? As in, the city's waste treatment plant?

I for one don't want to drink liquefied brains.

I have a moto 360 (bought when they first came out), and I definitely feel strange when I don't have it on. The biggest feature for me is the ease of use while driving - the google maps integration keeps my eyes on the road, and the next turn is only a wrist flick away. I think the utility is less about specific features, though, and more about how connected to the internet you are when it becomes an extension of your body (not that phones weren't already).
I'm not sure how that is pertinent. Programming languages as a general rule are initially implemented in some other programming language and then potentially later bootstrapped with their own language.

Ruby has also been implemented in Java (JRuby), Ruby (Rubinius), .NET (IronRuby), JavaScript (Opal).

Python in Java (Jython) and .NET (IronPython)

Lua has been implemented in too many language for me to list them all here (C, C++, Lua, JavaScript, Erlang, OCaml, Go, etc...)

It seems C itself was initially bootstrapped from B which was bootstrapped from BCPL. If we were to follow this to it's logical conclusion I'm guessing we end up at some version of Assembly. Are you suggesting we should start budding programmers on Assembly?
Interesting. I'm a fan of reactive programming and I've built projects using react+bacon.js and found that they worked well together. I'll have to give cycle a try on a hobby project sometime.

Unfortunately I'm shoe horned into react for my client work. The majority of my projects are handed off to the client to maintain and React is sort of a selling point (because.. you know facebook uses it and all). I'm afraid I can't realistically sell Cycle.js at this point.
We do this. Works surprisingly well... We've had two weddings planned, and several family reunions w/ 70+ people.

Best of all, I don't have to maintain a thing...
Yeah, someone programmed the Uber app with junior high math to show you where your driver is. But I regularly see the driver pull up when the Uber app shows him still a couple of blocks away. I wouldn't Uber's app controlling my fricking train.

Where I live in Maine, this is a third world country when it comes to connectivity.

The best you can get is about 25mbps when sitting right under our only cell phone tower in town, it is about 0.5mbps when I can get a signal at my house.

My wired home Internet? 15/1 ADSL2. We have cable, they offer speeds up to 30/5 or so, but they force you to bundle it with cable TV to get speeds that high, and I don't want cable TV in my house, nor do I want to pay >$100 for internet only twice as fast; plus, during peak hours, the network falls apart, our local ADSL2 network doesn't.

I've written to Google, trying to get them to deploy Google Fiber in Maine, since we need it badly: we don't have a monopoly, we just don't have anything recognizable as the Internet, not the way the rest of the US gets it.

Hopefully, they start deploying this in my area sometime in the next few years.
Haha are you kidding? This game isn't about doing useful things or creating useful, long-lived products. This game is about worshipping people like Mark Cuban and Sam Altman who put a lot of money in their pockets while doing nothing of value. I mean seriously have you used Bebo lately? Do you know how much money the founders of Bebo punched out with?
Isn't millimeter just one of a zillion ideas that are being lobbied for 5G?
