Never, ever, ever reply to replies. It's a no-win. Your reply, no matter how eloquently written, no matter how correct, can not change anyone's opinions. At best, you spend a lot of time writing an essay in reply to comments which will be ignored. At worst, the community decides you are wrong and pummels your opinion into the ground, damaging your reputation or worse. So replies have at best, near zero or worse, negative value.

Top-level comments are okay, but they should be written well enough to stand on it's own, without further clarification. It's not worth the time, mental energy and stress to reply for the tiny value comment replies offer.

If someone has a serious question, private forums (email, chat) are universally better. Comment chains lose all context and worse, stick around forever.

If I really like a track I hear on Soundcloud, I download it with youtube-dl.
I see, I hadn't made that obvious connection -- it's right in the name! (been awake for ~28 hours) That's much nicer. This is the first I've seen that header, it's good to know it exists -- I've implemented it in other ad-hoc protocols.
I can't disagree with you, but you're also missing other issues related with having a big pile of dependencies. Maintainability being one. Runtime efficiency isn't the only problem that can be solved here.

The purpose of the exclusionary rule and the "fruit of the poisonous tree" is to prevent the police from purposely violating the 4th amendment. There is no other reason why illegally obtained evidence shouldn't be used to convict a criminal.

So the good-faith exemption exists to make sure technical violations that occurred during a good faith attempt at following* the constitution don't result in a criminal going free.

Think about it. If your mom gets murdered and the cops get a warrant that for some reason wasn't technically valid, would you want the murderer to get off scott free? How that that serve justice.

I think the court may be misapplying the good-faith exemption. In my jurisdiction it only applies only in situations where there was a defective search warrant. But each state may be different.

TL;DR; it doesn't make it legal, but it also doesn't give you a get out of jail free card.
Didn't say I used it for blogging :)
Sure, but that's a workaround not a feature. I personally don't consume music in playlist format (on Spotify or wherever else). It forces me to still remember "oh yeah, playlist A has those few tracks from XYZ artist".

I'd prefer to have a screen that can sort my saved tracks in a meaningful way.

Give them a break. Most academic researchers don't have any motivation to "trap" people using sneaky tactics like that. Furthermore, a lot of people in academia are pretty oblivious to the nuisances between the mind-boggling variety of software licences out there.

I'm not saying it's right to be oblivious, but more than likely some poor sleepless grad student is more worried about his/her thesis, graduating, and getting the whole algorithm published in a journal, having lots of people use it and cite her/him, than trapping and suing people. Doing sneaky stuff on purpose would reflect very poorly on the student, professor, research group, and institution.

If this were the work of a startup, I would have a different opinion, but coming out of UCLA, I'd highly, highly, highly doubt they are deliberately trying to trap you.

Send them a comment on Github and gently remind them to provide licence information.
Yes, good point. A passerby is passing by, not standing there 24 hours a day for 10 weeks staring in a particular direction. So they are not really the same thing.

One issue I had with Ruby on Rails was getting MySQL drivers to even cooperate on both Windows and Linux. At the end of the day I wound up sticking to Python and other languages instead. I don't mind using any language, but if the language is fighting me due to native dependency hell then I can't really do much. Even to just use SQLite was a bit of a painful experience, yet on Python SQLite works out of the box without any effort on my part (on Windows). Oddly enough.

I'm looking to getting back into Ruby at some point later this year, but I might ignore Rails altogether so I don't miss out on learning a new fun language.
She means it's also good news for her...
From the linked paper:

The generally accepted rule of thumb is that 1bps of network
link requires 1Hz of CPU processing. Figures 11, 12
give a full story of this rule of thumb. (where Hz/bps ratio
= %CPU utilization * processor speed / bandwidth). It had
held up remarkably well over the years, albeit only for bulk
data transfer at large sizes. For smaller transfers, we found
the processing requirement to be 6-7 times as expected.
Moreover, the figures show that network processing is not
scaling with CPU speeds. The processing needs per byte
increase when going from 800MHz to 2.4GHz. This happens
because as CPU speed increases, the disparity between
memory and I/O latencies versus CPU speeds intensifies.

(Or, alternatively: heterosexual women in those professions don't marry for whatever reason, and queer ones do.)

Beyond that, AMP conveniently gives Google all of the data from all of the ads running through an AMP-configured site, whereas before they might only get data from stuff hitting their ad network or if the publisher was using DFP (and only a fragment of that from advertisers using DCM).

Lots of interesting things here.

One of them:

> If the telegram is packed full of unnecessary words, ... the sender has been guilty of economic waste. ... He added to the volume of traffic ....

And yet:

> But when you think of telegraphing someone to "reply at once," you may very well save the cost of an unnecessary word and write it, "reply immediately," ....

So, in order to reduce traffic volume, we are counseled to replace 6 letters and a very brief pause with 11 letters.

I think the writer had trouble distinguishing between trying not to overburden the telegraph system vs. hacking its cost structure.

Also, here is the first sentence I quoted above, in full (emphasis is mine):

> If the telegram is packed full of unnecessary words, words which might be omitted without impairing the sense of the message, the sender has been guilty of economic waste.

The phrase that I have italicized is completely unnecessary. Of course, the writer was not composing a telegram. Still, I think this is just a bit ironic.

I think comment notifications is sufficiently core that it should be an official feature.

Letting the community solve thing externally to HN is well and good, but results in exactly this situation, where a lot of users relied on one user's system when it was abruptly taken offline.

It provided a convenience that, in my case, significantly improved my HN experience (and others', too, since it kept certain conversations alive that otherwise would have faded earlier), an improvement which was then equally subtracted when the service disappeared.

I'd love HN to be community-extensible, though. Current browser extensions are great (I use this [1], which adds thread collapsing and highlights unread comments), but need to be maintained across browsers and typically don't work on mobile.

A better solution would be to allow users to add scripts to their account, which could then be copied into a static location (so the author can't change the code to something disruptive) and inserted into the page body. Then a nice little ecosystem could grow where users shared useful extensions.

As an example of a personal need currenty unfulfilled: I recognize a few HN names, but most I just forget. Each thread is full of anonymous people who I've surely read, and maybe replied to, before. It'd be wonderful to get something (Gravatar icons, expand to full name, unique colorization, "previously replied to person" or "previously upvoted" indicator) for each name to make them easier to remember and recognize, even within a single thread. It's also be great to show company names next to user names.

I get your point, and I think it's a reasonable point of view. I guess my belief is a little different -- I feel like people are fairly bad judges of what something is worth culturally. Sure, we get the high points right, but the Internet is chock full of stories of undiscovered genius that nearly ended up in the trash bin. See for example http://www.messynessychic.com/2013/02/18/found-at-auction-th...

Soundcloud contains an incredible collection of sound clips. If you take the virtual bulldozer to it, then you're just increasing the chance that something of value doesn't get copied over to archive.org or freesound.org, because the original owner isn't willing or able to do so.
In my experience so far it's a selective thing. Certain types of social media, apps or pop culture I am 'with' (Rick & Morty, certain indy games), but others I didn't even really understand years ago (twitter, myspace).
That'd be good advice if those MVPs didn't so often become the actual product themselves. If industry and management understood that these things were proof of concepts, and realized that the actual product is going to have to be rewritten, then I'd agree with you.

I'm very biased against “approximately X per Y” statements in general because just about any non-pathological curve has a linear tangent somewhere or the other, but if intervals wherein that proportional approximation can be said to hold are not stated it's pretty haphazard as a means of estimation.

Also, what kind of physical/logical process and attendant costs is it encoding? Does one per second of anything require one per second of something else? What if the processor were half- or double-the-bits?

How do you vet these things without stifling creativity and accidental serendipity? You don't. You have to take the mostly shit ideas and eventually one sticks even if it sticks like shit. The vetting will have a detrimental effect of the types who can even come in the door AND it assumes people know what works or what doesn't which is the overall illusion we have of "great ideas" that's why great ideas are only hindsight unless they are like inventing cheap fission or anti-gravity. Technology is evolutionary, meaning we don't control evolution, it just happens based on the environment, aka the mob's choice. Maybe pan handling robots spin off to charity assisting robots or social fart sharing turns out to be valuable health data? We don't know unless its obviously popular. The messier the better.

"Democratic Socialism" the best I understand it seeks to further Democracy by putting the power back into the social class, not the oligarchy as the US (in my eyes) become. I think it's putting the "we the people" back into power. Look at Bernie's top-priority messages. Get rid of Citizens United (money in elections) and get rid of big banks. If those two things are accomplished, "we the people" would have more power and held less at-hostage by the oligarchies at power... But just my thought.

That is correct that the libraries should not have DI but I should be able to wire up the library on my own and not let the library do its own static initialization. What is far worse than Class.forName and other crap is libraries self imposed singletons.

Take for example Hystrix. I'm just now fixing that the thing loads up its own configuration framework (Archaius) which uses static initialization. Archaius needed like 10 other dependencies. This is all really because Hystrix uses static singleton (HystrixPlugins) and many frameworks need this or else is incredibly difficult to get an implementation up (ie using pseudo singleton to avoid excessive passing of a context).

Isn't there a fair-use provision where you can remix/sample works as long as you don't sell the derivative work or something like that?

I think that's how a lot of the electronic music stuff works... people freely mix and remix stuff, give it away for free, and make their income doing live events and shows.

That's my sense... anyone know if I got these details right?

No issues so far with the latest ST3 update installed.
Not really. Private health insurance and fully private hospital care exists in most (all?) states with full state-sponsored medical coverage. Ultimately, if people don't have to pay for health insurance any more, a huge proportion won't. Which means the state becomes the single largest buyer of healthcare, probably bigger than all the other players put together, and so should be able to get better value for healthcare than the private companies ever did. Better cheap treatments than a half-empty hospital. And a state health insurer also doesn't need to advertise itself to consumers or pay shareholders, so it should come out ahead even if it's unable to pay any less per treatment than the private companies.

Of course, it's still dire for the health insurers because their customer base shrinks massively when private health insurance becomes a luxury to get people more expensive and faster specialist treatment as opposed to the only way to be able to afford to not die from expensively treatable ailments. But there's no reason to assume that some/most wouldn't continue to provide the option of more expensive and more exclusive healthcare for those that don't trust the publicly funded system or want to beat the queue.
I don't see how they could not be. I think that shift arises from transformations between different coordinate frames, it doesn't matter what you're observing.

is doing it really "voluntary"?

Of course. Most utility companies have a large number of lawyers. Lawyers which advise them on actions. Sometimes those lawyers are going to say "just do it, it'll be easier", but it's still voluntary. What do you think the effect of saying "Our lawyers are pretty sure that this type of surveillance would require a warrant. Do you have one of those?" would be? It's not like they are going to shoot up the utility.

What business owner would say no?

There appears to be no evidence that the ATF told the utility that they would take any adverse action if they did not install the camera. This is just like if the police come to your door and say "Can we come in?". Let them in after they ask, and that is voluntary. Even if most people would not want to say no (which is something that state and federal officers rely on). Many companies that get requests from local and federal agencies will tell them that their request is deficient and to provide proper documentation (ex: facebook and twitter have sent back requests or tried to squash subpoenas that they deem to be insufficient). My guess is that we don't hear about this very often because it's supremely easy for the agency to just go get the warrant (it's not a high barrier at all) or find someone more amenable. It's just easier for the agency if the company voluntarily complies.
This isn't a new thing. In the old days, a guy in a Verizon van would wire up a cctv on a pole to a nearby storefront or apartment and record the goings on.

In a very real way it was. There were two completely geographically separate instruments which recorded the same signal with a delay that is consistent with the light travel time between them.

In the future this will get better when VIRGO in Italy and KAGRA [2] in Japan come online. Then we will have 4 independent detectors which will be able to verify that same signal is observed at the same time.

Obviously of course given the transient nature of what is being observed once the merger has occurred it will very rapidly stop producing gravitational waves so we will not be able to measure the same event again.

Looks like the site is down.
As they're supposed to be traveling at the speed of light I'd jump to the conclusion that you'd find them doppler shifted. In this case though we don't yet have anything like the spectral lines of hydrogen to be able to measure that shift so I don't think we can do anything with it yet.
> Were the "Ruby will always be slow" people simply wrong?

Simple answer, yes. Not saying that Ruby is fast now, however Ruby doesn't necessarily always have to be slow. Just like any languages/framework/etc. It can be made faster, although the amount of work to get there may be substantial.

At the time ruby was really slow, and with no real progress and a waning number of groups working to improve it. Now, it appears people are making progress and working on it.
