Sure. But that really is just pedantics. It isn't a surprise to anyone to point out that the source of something that was moving away from us 13Gy ago is now further away than it was. You are essentially just giving those words the least charitable interpretation and then picking on that. It isn't wrong, its just not perfectly unambiguous.

Do you really think Buffer has little brand recognition? That's very surprising that anyone here would think that.
Every distribution on the planet handles this with chroots for doing builds and it works out just fine without needing to do gymnastics with docker. Fedora, for example, has a farm of build hosts that are architecture specific (so there is no cross-compiling outside of bootstrapping a new build target), from there a new chroot gets created for every build and the build runs isolated within it. They've been using this same system to maintain packages for up to 7 different releases at once (counting the EPEL repositories) with no issues, I fail to see any benefit docker brings to the table here - and really, nginx should just provide a stable ABI.
That's obviously for mail retrieval, so doesn't apply here.
I haven't read the original paper, I can't comment on that.

The model in the webpage however is not heteroskedastic (literally "unequal variance") because all the log-increments are iid. It could be legitimately considered a geometric Brownian motion with stochastic volatility, because the log-error is indeed normally distributed with variance picked from some stochastic distribution, in this case a normal distribution. This term however is normally used for models in which the volatility has more structure (e.g. the ARCH or GARCH models which are mentioned in the page).
The thing is, open plans can be extremely non-interactive. I've been in several where it was almost always silent, everyone with headphones on, could not hear a pin drop, zero "collaboration" environments.

I guess I picture an office as an actual office, not a room full of desks. I'm too old-fashioned. And maybe people prefer the atmosphere of co-working. I like having a place to go where I can have quiet, have music, but most importantly have focus without interruptions. That's what an office is to me.

Google "applications of" genetic algoritms. I got results that way years ago. The abstracts of conference papers are also informative. I remember them used for scheduling/planning and optimization problems. One person even made one to find the optimal set of compiler arguments to get best performance for Haskell programs. Look up Humie Awards for Genetic Programming for a long list of human-equivalent achievements too.
The same can be said of almost any category of books.
Yup. I'm total ad hater, and yet I'd be totally fine with plainly marked, non-intrusive, simple ads, that don't waste bandwidth and CPU power. E.g. what AdWords originally was. If they don't distract, I'm more willing to actually read them, even out of curiosity.
I concur, but they need not stay unfamiliar with it. The concept is easy: When you type the name of a program and hit enter, I look it up in a list of directories to see the first one that contains a file with that name. That list is $PATH. Any programmer will have to deal with search paths and stuff at some point in their life, and probably very early on, when they'll want to run their own scripts.
What's your source for that?
easier to opt-out of an open office via headphones than opt-in to a collaborative one by relocating your desk. i think this is the root of why open plans make sense.

What do I suggest in lieu of Gmail or some other large provider that may scan your email? If it really matters to you, your only choice is to run your own mail server. If you don't control your endpoint, then I think no matter what you profess, you don't really care. Personally I just use a combination of Gmail (because I don't care) and a POP/IMAP account at my local ISP (which is not free).

If you want free email, expect to pay in some other way. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
> That's why it bugs me when parents are used as an excuse for underperforming students. As difficult as it may be, schools must take full responsibility for their students, and not share it with their parents.

Responsibility must come with authority. As schools cannot legally take full authority over students, and must share it with parents, it is impossible for them to take full responsibility.

I think there is a good argument that society ought to consider means to mitigate disadvantages due to parenting, and consider the extent and circumstances in which greater intervention is appropriate, that's a discussion which goes far beyond the schools to broader policy questions, and which I can't see ever being resolved in favor of general and total community responsibility -- and thus authority -- unshared with parents, whether via the schools or any other mechanism. As such, I think talk of schools taking unshared responsibility for outcomes is overly simplistic and ill-considered.
Sure, but the problem is that this is how we end up with so many solutions for the kinds of problems experienced by relatively wealthy programmers and entrepreneurs in relatively wealthy areas of developed countries, and so few solutions for the kinds of problems experienced by everyone else.
I don't know. I've never heard of it and I read HN daily. Maybe it's because startups don't interest me. Either way, I just think it's funny how these topics, which people clearly want to discuss regardless of what the Buffers of the world are doing, always have to be centered on a company's PR.
These were simply citations; adding context to someone's statement. I find it hard to understand that the information we all post freely online is creepy when we are confronted on it. Shouldn't we just stand by what we say?

I've seen my share of open floor plans where everyone has headphones on and is typing in Hipchat / Slack rooms sharing memes.
I have a very nice custom-designed office at home with big monitors, keyboard tray, Aeron chair, etc. I used to use that as my workplace when I worked from home (which was most of the time when I wasn't traveling.) But, for whatever reason, I've found myself gravitating to just working on my laptop in various rooms in my house. The variety works for me. (I can work outside in the summer but usually don't because of glare, etc.)

In general, I think I needed the discipline of dressing as for the office and working in my dedicated office for a time but feel less need for the structure today.

Plenty of collaboration happens in quiet environments. It's just often digital collaboration. In a lot of software settings, that is precisely how you want it to be. You don't want people using their meat flaps to hit your head with acoustical vibrations, except in certain scenarios where our meatputers still process things better that way. Like if emotions need to be considered, or if there are aspects of creative expression being lost in digital translation.

Sometimes it's the opposite, and you definitely do want meat flap acoustics often, and silent digital communication less so.

For any given company, you need to understand this. You can't just assert that an open floor plan "is collaborative." It is one kind of collaborative. It may not be the right kind for you. And worst of all will be to assert that it definitely is the necessary kind merely as an excuse when your real motivation is to minimize financial investment into physical space.
I tried it on Ubuntu 14.04, but unfortunately you get only pretty old versions, even via PPA. And no matter what I did, opensmtpd crashed each time it received a mail from localhost to a local receiver.

I'm having high hopes for Ubuntu 16.04 having a more recent version on board. Then I will try to switch from postfix again. Because as you've said, it's really straightforward to set up :)

Having an office doesn't mean you don't talk to coworkers. It means you get to control when you talk to coworkers. You can easily have 1-1 meetings in your office, talk about personal things and actually really hash out problems without worrying about annoying or distracting the poor sap 2 seats down. All office areas have shared space as well - thats why people meet up around the water cooler. If you want to spend no time socializing in an open office, its better to have your own office. If you want to spend lots of time socializing, its better to have an office since you won't be annoying the people who don't want to or don't have the time to socialize.

I would say the opposite: There is no excuse for cementing the role of CAs for SMTP. DANE doesn't need any CA, and there is no problem with legacy clients that require CA-signed certs.
Even in Silicon Valley, most tech workers choose not to live in a city. Most live in suburbs.

Understood. It's a bit unfortunate that we can't practically discuss a company the size of Twitter adopting a very specific set of controversial political beliefs. I agree that there's probably no way to mention it without starting a flame war though.
One event to rule them all
I would postulate that this is because of the decline of family values and traditional roles in Western countries. With problems due to what is known as feminism, SWJs and the like, everything is being watered down and wishy washy.

Leonard Sax has talked about some important social topics in today's Western society. The media now influences how kids are raised, and how they see their parents. The influence of parents over their kids is gone in the name of liberalism and open-mindedness. The family unit is being broken down, and we are already seeing the consequences of that.
This is really tricky to get right: it's kind of like the problems you get with threads, except with the added bonus that you can't even wait on a lock, because the lock might be held by the thread that got interrupted. The easiest thing to do is just ignore the problem and not let users install signal handlers written in your language. The next easiest thing is the Python model, and it's pretty much the only option if your runtime is not multithreaded (as Python's is not: thanks to the GIL only one thread can be running Python at a time). If your language runtime is multithreaded, you can try to set things up so all signals are routed to a special signal handling thread that spins in a loop waiting for a signal handler to set a flag, then runs the appropriate handler.

> No 3rd party analytics service can provide more accurate data than server logs. None

This is very, very wrong. Parsing server logs can give you a lot of data but parsing the data directly from the client (ala Google analytics) can give you so, so much more. Data about the client itself, demographic information (beyond ip address locations) and information regarding their interests when hooked into a system that's present on many other sites.

Server logs are a great starting point but the amount of relevant data a third party service can give you is so great most are willing to make the tradeoff and use them. I'd rather have all analytics in house but that extra data can be invaluable.
Except that all of the studies suggest the headphones / earplugs option doesn't help very much. Most of the damage is done because of lack of privacy and noise is a secondary (though still large) effect.

The headphone solution is also insensitive to people with extreme aversions to distracting sounds, such as sufferers of misophonia. In a lot of cases, if you are embedded in an open plan, there is no such thing as "opting out." It's a fixed decision mandated upon you.
Wait, those seriously happen? I thought examples of that were just satire. I guess there are some upsides to working in finance. That would never happen there lol.
Comscore is one of the best marketers in the industry. They've led everyone to believe their data is accurate and reliable when in actuality it's 99.9% unreliable estimates and extrapolation.
I'm very curious about this too. A little research suggests that I could barely get my own desk for a similar price in Southern California.
A multiplier of only 2x to go from open plan to offices is ridiculously optimistic. You can't make people work in a box. 5x is probably getting closer to reality but I bet that it's actually even higher than that. That doesn't even count the cost of renovation to make all these offices.

Regarding the first point, how likely is it that Clinton can implement her key policies?

Because if they are equally likely, then which is the more real, incremental progress?

I find this topic of "idealism" rather curious, because it carries with it the idea of impractical. It feels like it's used as a slur against Sanders, so without looking at either candidate's platform, which of the following are "idealism" and which are "real, incremental progress"?

1) targeting the shadow banking sector
2) cut the red tape holding small businesses back
3) invest $1 trillion over five years to modernize our infrastructure
4) 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave
5) Expand support for young and beginning farmers
6) Secure affordable treatment for people living with HIV and AIDS
7) Restore Glass-Steagall
8) Keep guns out of the hands of terrorists, domestic abusers, other
violent criminals, and the severely mentally ill
9) Cap credit card interest rates at 15%.
10) Ensure that every 4-year-old in America has access to high-quality
preschool in the next 10 years
11) Stop the Federal government from making a profit on student loans
12) Ensure no student has to borrow to pay for tuition, books, or fees to
attend a four-year public college in their state
13) End the era of mass incarceration, reform mandatory
minimum sentences, and end private prisons
14) Impose a tax on high-frequency trading
15) Increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2020.

If you consider some of Clinton's proposals idealistic, does that mean she is sacrificing the chance for real, incremental progress?

Unless you think that none of Clinton's proposals are idealistic, what's an appropriate balance between proposals with a chance of 'real, incremental progress' vs. those which are idealistic?

Otherwise it seems like "idealism" is a code phrase for something else.
White center lines are being removed from roads in the UK–for safety
I'd just add that I've worked semi-remote for a good decade--in that I've nominally had an office but between travel and working remotely I've been in the office well under half the time. I don't really have any complaints. I live by myself and have a good office setup--though I mostly use my laptop in various rooms these days.

Having said that, and appreciating that both norms and technology infrastructure are much different than they were when I started in the industry, it's really difficult for me to imagine starting out of school as a remote employee. I think I would have found it enormously isolating and difficult.
I already have job and want to learn things outside of what I do at work (enterprise security). Thanks for posting an utterly useless comment.
I hear this a lot on HN, and while I understand how it would work at bank or at IBM, how does this attitude translate into startups, founded by technical people, competing to hire "rock-star" "ninja" developers?
So here's an analogy that might help: Today, most RSA keys are 2048 bits. You can go up to 4096, but things start to get a little bit too slow for comfort. Double again and they get much slower.

Now imagine doing RSA with a 100k-200k bit key. That's the amount of slowdown FHE incurs.
It's been a long time since the cost of a cert was an inhibiting factor - at least for 1st world businesses. (I don't suppose I'd want to be paying for a US dollar priced TLS cert in Zambian kwacha or trying to get a petty cash reimbursement for one on a typical IT salary in South Sudan...)

I'm a founder and I'm a developer. I'm not only hiring people aggressively (thanks to a successful startup) but I'm also spending a lot of time coding.

I spent my arguably valuable time to try out their service from both roles and my time was wasted because their service isn't usable and / or ready to be on the front page of HN.

I call bullshit on the beta and the response. Nowhere in the signup process was there any sort of notification that I would have to wait to get access. Nowhere on the site does it say 'beta'. I shouldn't have to enter my information in order to find this out.

If they wanted to make something special for HN readers, then look at the referrer. No need for special links.
I'm in the same boat as you - running a personal/friends/family mail toaster for 16 years now. But I disagree that Google have made the administration harder. Internet mail servers don't live in isolation, and context has always been changing. I have no issue with adapting configuration as expectations change, so Gmail's evolution has never inhibited my ability to exchange email with the world. This move is no different. Really, I feel that the elephant has been tremendously careful not to tread on the mice.

I don't believe this particular change materially improves security, since it isn't representing an end-to-end behaviour, but if it raises awareness and challenges mass surveillance then so much the better.

Personally I would like them to advocate for other necessary infrastructure advances and include, for non-IPv6-capable MTAs, an icon of a lurching monster that refuses to die.

In my case using SMS for 2FA only works within their new interface. Whenever an online shop is redirecting to PayPal, it's the old login page (and doesn't notice when already logged in on PayPal), so I basically never receive 2FA codes in that step.

Not sure if just broken or they are using a different SMS gateway that has a problem with my country. It also doesn't really help that 2FA is still only known as hardware tokens within their documentation. It doesn't raise any trust for the PayPal website either.

The nearest star is the Sun. With a giant Sun nearest to Earth, it's impossible for the number of stars to go up proportionally as distance to Earth increases. There isn't 4 suns at 2 AU, and at 100000 light years wide, with 63000 AUs per light year, the milky way does't contain (63000 * 100000)^2 stars. There needs to be 4 billion times more stars in the milk way for there to be proportionally as many stars as in our solar system. You can fill the entire sky with AA battery torches and they won't be as bright as the one stuck right up to your eye.

The night sky is dark, but it doesn't mean it isn't full of rays of lights heading our way. It's darker than the day sky due to the Sun being so close, yes, but the night sky is full of light, everywhere we look. It's only because the way our minds perceive relatives, we call the night sky "dark".
I didn't think the public transit in toronto was really that bad. If you want to live in Canada somewhere not named Vancouver, Victoria or Toronto, housing prices are very affordable.

I like Fastmail (paying customer here) but let's not kid ourselves that they are anymore safe from the NSA or the Five Eyes. That's wishful thinking and is the same argument as if you host your email in Switzerland, it's magically untouchable from mass surveillance.
I agree it shouldn't be priced in that way, but it should be compared in that way. Leaving relative prices out of the equation is unfair / biased. Of course xfinity has more services, but it's cost per increment of speed is dramatically higher.
I like offices with 2 to 4 people. They don't even need to work on the same things. I have developed lots of good friendships with people in such environments.

In open office I rarely talk to people because it's so loud.
