I disagree. In the end, all encryption is breakable with a rubber hose. Nothing stops people in a position of great power from abusing that power except social and political pressures. The key is to create a social and political environment that stigmatizes these behaviors.

Unfortunately, we're not there in the US yet. I believe it will come, in the same way that the search warrant became necessary for tapping someone's phone, say, but it will take time for society to catch up.
I would say the only thing that you need is sales. Everything else can come later on. I'm not sure about the priority of each item you mentioned but once you have sales you can reinvest the profits to do the legal and paper work.

If you read the button it's not an CTA to connect with her but a CTA to invite her to LinkedIn. She would then get an email basically saying "Uncle Uptown would like you to join LinkedIn!"

Agree it's scummy and they are mixed in with actual folks on LinkedIn but they are not creating shadow profiles.
Many of the facts to which I am referring weren't known at the time of his UK court appearances. They emerged later when various documents were either released or leaked or the law changed. So it isn't completely surprising that those things contradict what was presented at his hearings, nor that he lost those cases.

I note that you appear to be making a distinction between house arrest and curfew. I'm not precisely sure of the legal or technical distinction. Another person seems to be making something of the distinction below.

When I say "house arrest", I'm referring to the time when Assange was held in a property in the UK with an ankle bracelet which confined him to that property except when he had to report to the Norfolk police every day.

Usually I thought curfew meant that someone was not allowed to travel away from home at night and house arrest was where you can't leave a given property. These seem to be the plain readings of the wikipedia definitions anyway.

Before this drop they were trading at 14x forward revenue; now they're at 7x. Splunk was at 12x, now at 9.7x. We'll have to revisit what the typical multiple range is for BI/enterprise saas companies.

Also the feeling you get when reading the BBC article is that he is a guilty rapist wanted for much larger crimes (than rape). The video has a ticker showing the cost to the UK by putting up with him.

If is. There are very granular controls to control which emails you get and then, separately, how often, including "No emails".

I don't work at a startup.

Administrative assistants make coffee for the whole company still, and most of us bring in our own lunch and warm up in the lunch room (those that don't, either go get lunch, or don't eat it) - if you have plants at your desk, you do end up watering them yourself.

Yes, we do have contractors who clean the building for us, and a travel agent (as well as administrative assistants) to help us book travel.

From the documentation: "You shouldn't include it in the <head> of your web applications. It's bad practice to place scripts in the <head>, and as such dragula makes no effort to support this use case."

Serious question: With nearly 20 years in JS development, the concept of placing scripts not in the head section as being desirable is new to me. (Just saying, it used to be the other way round. Common resources, like scripts were, aside from the title, the main reason, the head tag was introduced at all.) -- Is there a source to this notion of script embedding, or can anyone clarify? (What would be the winning propositions of not using parallel loading slots?)

I miss the old days of LinkedIn, when they had a Stack Overflow-esque Q&A subsite, Groups were at the forefront of your feed, and it was the ideal forum to hold discussions with like-minded professionals (i.e. other developers).

Today it seems like it's an endless stream of garbage posts, many from recruiters (why did I connect with so many?), Groups is now relegated to the background, buried away. Every few months they roll out an updated UI that seems less intuitive. It all feels like a cheap imitation of Facebook, underwhelming and having little value.

(P.S. Someone asked if they ever found a job on LI, I did, not from a recruiter but a developer colleague. so there's still value there.)
I think that principle I've heard before called "1, 2, 3, abstract"; as in, wait until you see it at least three times before considering extraction.

I'd also add - wait until the code is 'stable', i.e no longer under active architectural development, connected only to other stable parts (or with stable/authoritative interfaces) and having then existed in such a state for a continued period of varied usage. then refactor.
> The reason a LinkedIn competitor hasn't emerged is the same reason a viable Facebook competitor hasn't emerged: at this point the network effects are too strong, and it's extremely difficult to beat incumbents because of that.

I'd say LinkedIn actually has stronger network effects than Facebook, or other consumer social networks. Consumer social networks are used more casually, so it's easier to get users to sign up than it would be for a professional social network, where users tend to adopt a more conservative mindset. And we've seen several consumer social networks rise in the post-Facebook era - Snapchat, WhatsApp, and Instagram.
This is true. The newsfeed has turned into meme and inspirational quote sharing. I am unfollowing individual people now (just like FB, yay!)

I think those four criteria beautifully capture many goals of software design. And for example, we could say that we reduce system state with a functional approach, make component coupling looser by indirection with object orientation, and decrease code complexity by structured programming.

True, let me rephrase.

Publishing something in the Portable Document Format (particularly on a non-web subject) is not unacceptable.

HTML is nice, but it does have its drawbacks. For example, HTML doesn't have pagination or standard TOC support. It's hypermedia, so you have to link out to a bunch of other files, making it much more cumbersome to transmit and distribute. Using a zip, I suppose? (Yes, you can use data URIs in HTML5 compliant viewers, for inflated sizes, and mandatory full file reads before rendering.)

I probably wouldn't have done a PDF either, but I think you're reading more into it then you can.

Could somebody enlighten me on the economics of energy storage?

The local retail energy prices are approximately 10c/kWh year round, rain or shine. The price is fixed, unless you buy a contract based on the spot market.

All the energy storage products I've heard about cost more or about the same per kWh just to store the energy. So even if the energy to charge the energy storage was free, it still would not make economic sense to store energy if you have grid power.

Am I missing something or is consumer energy storage only for off-grid applications?

Of course it adds friction, but that friction could be pretty negligible. You don't need to capture all the energy introduced by a heavy vehicle passing over the surface. Just capture a little of it.
putting solar panels under the cars in parking lots seems like possibly the silliest thing ever - not only does it block the light from getting to the solar panels, but covered parking is desirable - if they just put the panels above the cars they would get more light and the cars and people would have some protection from the weather.
As someone who works with AutoCAD nearly every day, I would love it if they opened up the DWG format. There are quite a lot of tools that AutoCAD produces to customize AutoCAD though.

Interestingly AutoCAD was originally written in lisp and a lot of the drawing objects are represented (or can be accessed) as lisp lists in AutoCAD's own lisp dialect (AutoLISP). It's pretty confusing for anyone not familiar with lisp though and fairly limited compared to other lisps (no macros, as far as I could tell, though I'm sure someone could probably find a way to implement them)

I imagine in a high profile case like this which polarizes the populace, there is recognition that a trial where the defendant does not get to mount a defense would likely exacerbate any feelings of mistrust held for the government.
On a parking lot, not 100% is used by cars. Lots of space for driving/walking through and around.

The example above show the paring lot partially full with a lot of space for solar panel roads: https://goo.gl/maps/ZR5kNMZYGbE2

Also, in France, we're limited in farming space. Sure, it's going to go away eventually, while we outsource farming elsewhere, but replacing fields with solar panels is not as obvious of a tradeoff as it could be elsewhere in the world.

The article is all about storage for the electrical grid, to shave peak demand and allow more wind/solar use, so portability isn't a requirement.
Embedding scripts in <head> is an established worst practice. It blocks rendering for no good reason. Sum that with the fact that dragula is a drag&drop library and as such you don't need it in the slightest to display your content, and it becomes obvious why I don't support <head> embedding.

No, it counts as military activity. Attacking civilians with the intent to scare the populace at large counts as terrorist activity.

Right. In the context of grid storage of renewable energy, that doesn't matter.

You need a li-ion or similar in your phone and your laptop (and maybe your car), but that doesn't make it the best tech for flattening out a peaky solar/wind grid.
TSLA is getting hammered because analysts don't believe they'll sell as many cars as they say. Some of it due to lower gas prices.
Solar/wind are inconsistent, and their output doesn't map to consumption patterns. So a totally solar/wind grid would require massive overbuilding in order to provide sufficient power for peaks. By caching the surplus generated when supply exceeds demand, we can significantly reduce the overall supply footprint, by using the generated supply much more efficiently.
Contextually relevant question: How much would it cost to do a major revamp of the North American electrical grid? (For various values of "major revamp" of course.) I found this article that mentions a $2 Trillion figure from Rocky Mountain Institute, but I take that with a big grain of salt. [1]

Since the patents around Tesla's Supercharger are open, what about the idea of giving the US highway commission a few hundreds of millions to double the number of Supercharger stations? (This would create more demand while not improving the infrastructure, but I would benefit personally.)

The product is awesome. I made some really neat visualizations and analyses with it during an MBA project using the 15-day trial. But it's ridiculously expensive - $1000 per year with some real limitations on how many data sources you can connect.

If I could dabble with it for $50/year I would. $1000 though? That limits their market tremendously to big companies only. It's hard enough to get an $80 tool approved.

Looks like they give it free for students now, which is cool: https://www.tableau.com/academic/student. But after learning it, there's no path to bring the software with them when they move to actual companies, because of the cost.
It's a pretty good product but everybody and his brother sells analytics and visualization tools, most of the companies that have been around a while sell a few different tools since they've grown by acquisition.

Tableau is more differentiated than it looks, but it doesn't look very differentiated. If Microsoft ever gets around to making many of the "smart" features in Excel actually work (i.e. csv import and automatically choosing what kind of graph to make) they will have nothing to stand on.

I'm just waiting for the street to realize that Hortonworks and their competitors also have zero moat, and if anything, a GUI interface for a Hadoop cluster is value subtraction in the age of devops.

My dad owned (second owner) one of the first "fake Chinese" take out restaurants in Toronto - opened in 1955. He used to have a collection of all the old menus from his restaurant.

At one point in the late 80s, I did some updates for him in Quark Xpress on a Mac SE.

It has changed hands a couple of times since my Dad retired in the early 90s though. I just dug up their current menu [1], and it looks like they're still using a variant of the menu that dates back to the 70s.

While I miss the free food, I sure don't miss working there...

I'd say this is sound advice for core components of the system, but we may want also to consider the types of the dependencies. For example, I would not wait for three times if the dependency is some kind of external system (DB, UI, Network, MQ, OS, Library, Framework, or the like) which is volatile in one of the worst ways - not directly under your control, unlike your own source code.
I remember seeing this project more than a year ago (I believe it was call dat_science back then).

>> We can infer a shift from GitHub to alternate services soon from this, unless they change.

Nope. People are lazy. Will a lot of people write comments and all, how they are going to totally move away from github? Oh yeah, no doubt. But will they actually do it? Nah, just a few, unless github becomes as bad as source forge but I don't think it's going to happen, even then it would take some time.

Yes, yes, I am aware that migrating is just a matter of adding a new origin. That's the easy bit. But getting used to a new interface and everything, that takes much more effort and time. Writing a comment is easier (especially when tons of people are doing that around you) than changing your habits.

Even ignoring everything above, I don't really agree with the "puts effort into stuff like this as opposed to actually listening to their users" attitude. GitHub is not a one man's project. The whole company shouldn't drop everything just to do something right now because it was trending on HN a week or two ago. A company like this (making substantial product changes rather urgently based on some hype) maybe sounds cool but, in reality, you would probably not be excited to use their products. Urgent changes in features and quality often does not go together.

I say this as an American: the US needs to get off its high horse. A lot of things are really great here, and really terrible elsewhere. But the appeal to worse problems and the handwaving of good deeds do not negate all of the very serious problems with US domestic and foreign policy. It is a ridiculous fallacy to claim that US problems and sins should be ignored because there are bigger problems and bigger sinners, especially when those problems were in part caused by the US.
