"Everything's so amazing, I left after receiving my first GSU package and retention bonus."
Well written...

From experience (not mine) too many people consider only one factor when making the majority of purchases with credit:

Can I make the monthly payment...?

If they can they plunge headlong...

Of course just paying the monthly minimum on outstanding credit card balances is disastrous...it's kicking a loaded can down the road...
While it sounds like the beginning of the end of the early internet era I for one am excited at the thought of a company being able to do something a little more remarkable with the infrastructure Yahoo has built.
They ask apple to code the firmware so it only works on that specific iphone. And it would be signed so they cannot edit the firmware.

Finally, the FBI even said they'd agree to do this on Apple campus and then actually give the iphone to apple after they copied data off it.

There is zero chance they could reuse it.
Doesn't this kind of also hurt SEO? I'm would guess Google has some automated system to detect and apply a negative signal to sites that provide different content to a Googlebot user agent than a non-Googlebot user agent. I guess these sites are counting that the other signals outweigh that negative hit.

Otherwise, why would expertsexchange be obligated to provide the answers at the very bottom? Did something change?
I don't really buy this article. They claim you get "caching, more efficient bandwidth utilization, centralized access with logging and security." S3 gives you caching already. I fail to see how your bandwidth utilization improves, if anything you've introduced another hop (depending where you're hosting Varnish). Centralized access? I guess, if you're already using Varnish for other things, but if you're at the point that you need Varnish, you probably are aggregating multiple log sources already. Security? You're just adding another possible exploitation layer. And on top of that you've just added another box to maintain.

Not to rag on Varnish, I love it, I just don't really see this use case. Personally, I would never route plain S3 data through Varnish.
How is this different than this? http://matias.ca/ergopro/pc/
Sure but it that is the best case. In my own experience, traffic can impact those numbers substantially. And just some bad luck with traffic signals can eliminate most of those savings as the slow/fast cars tend to get synchronized.

Just the other day I was driving down the narrow roads of a nearby hill and there is a section with single lanes with lots of traffic moving at 35 mph. One lady comes weaving down the traffic on both sides to get in front of the crowd with a net savings until when the lanes opened up of 30 seconds. So much risk to everyone for what little benefit.

> It is probably more accurate to claim the GPL was designed to be incompatible with an entire class of licenses that includes the CDDL, and the MPL on which it was based and any future licenses similar to or based on licenses in that class (of which the CDDL was given that it was made after the GPL).

Given that work was done to make GPLv3 more compatible with other open source licenses and that GPLv2 predates both of the licenses you mention by quite a bit I'm inclined to think that's nonsense.
Credit cards are great for all the reasons you listed, but there is rarely a good reason to carry a balance and pay the exorbitant interest rates on one.

You can get all those benefits while still paying the balance in full each month and paying 0 interest, even using the time until the next statement as a free 30-45ish day loan.
Something I feel like people miss in conversations about M&A is that companies are valued in large part against their existing revenue. A studio looking to buy Yahoo for their content platform is also buying a search provider. That search provider accounts for a full third of Yahoo's revenue! You can't just buy Yahoo and kill off search, unless you want to pay a gigantic tax for the content platform.
Because they would gain customers who were previously looking at inferior-to-them (according to Yelp ratings) dentists.
It certainly would be interesting to see a "Software Freedom Law Center" vs "Free Software Foundation" legal battle. But if no one wants to fight over a clearly more egregious graphics blob, then why would they go after Canonical for something seemingly less of an issue.
There’s a ton of comments on this article that I think are much more nutso. But this is the comment I’m going to reply to, cause people who keep emergency funds are probably open changing their mind via reason.

Touching your 6 months emergency expenses fund is completely against the point. The reason you have this cash is for out of the blue, hit by bus kind of events. You need it when you least expect it

If you take your TV out of it you no longer have it - and this fund becomes nothing more than a general savings account. The kind of thing that drops low right after you buy a TV, or a car, which from my personal experience is exactly when bad things happen. And often bad things require cash on the barrelhead, not just credit cards.

So don’t do this. Either save in a slush fund for your TVº, or put it on a credit card, but don’t take it out of your emergency fund and still call it an emergency fund - 'cause it’s not going to be there for you in an emergency.

º or my personal favorite: a throw away, but named, savings account. (Like CapOne360, née Ing Direct, offers.)

baozi is a traditionsl food of China.
When xi came to power at the very beginning, a picture is shown in main stream media of China that Xi devouring his BaoZi and paying for his meal just like everyone else. Xi's performance is too bad, all the people know that is just a show. Now Xi show its true feature, he is not a man of the people, he is just a Dictator.
Three also believes that users shouldn't have to pay for the data that advertisers use to bring ads to their phone, which seems reasonable enough - I think we've reached to the point where users are paying more in data costs to view ads than the advertisers are paying to advertise to them which is ridiculous.
To me this looks like a big win for companies based in China. The social media companies for the billion people in China will be employing local people, and the advertising revenue will stay within China.
Not that this is the main goal of the ban though..
Gannett Co., the media company, was in a similar predicament recently.

Its broadcasting and digital businesses were doing OK, but its print publications were in horrible shape.

So it split into two companies: TEGNA (TV/digital properties) and Gannett (newspapers).

In Yahoo's case, its stake in Alibaba was propping up the company. Now that Alibaba is a separate entity, I imagine that we can learn a lot about what Yahoo's fate will be by watching how Gannett has operated since its spin-off.

Interestingly, since the split in July, Tegna shares have plummeted after an initial small rise, whereas Gannett shares have remained roughly even:

Facebook should buy them, and let advertisers target using FB targeting (the best in the world). It would be a huge new acquisition channel for a lot of direct response orgs.
That's a good way to use debt, but far from the only rational one. The best reason to use debt is for consumption smoothing. For example -- a car breaks down unexpectedly, and now the owner can't make it to work. They won't get paid if they don't go. "Save up for a repair" doesn't work. This is perfectly legitimate reason to spend now, pay later. It's the canonical reason to use credit. The asset they buy -- a new alternator, or whatever -- isn't going to appreciate. The interest they pay is simply to pay for the service of having money now instead of later. That doesn't mean it's foolish.
From the article:

You are not necessarily wrong, but I think it is important to try to understand what the comment meant. Perhaps some specific event in her life justifies her position.

I read through that article, and it didn't seem to support your statement, especially given the edit at the bottom.
I wouldn't use that emergency fund money for something like a TV, because it's not really a necessity. Dipping into the emergency fund for indulgences leads to a depleted emergency fund.

Now if your heater breaks and requires replacement, that might be a reason to tap into savings.

You could ask them to buy twice as much food as they normally would every time they go to a restaurant or the grocery store. They can either eat until they feel uncomfortable and gain weight or they can start throwing a ton of food away, either way the utility per dollar spent goes way down past a certain point.

Note that this assumes that you are already able to spend an optimal amount on food.
Money is always worth more now than later. That's why when you pay back money later, you have to pay back more than you borrowed (among other reasons).

So what about a community like Hacker News that combines community, karma, money and action.

Think of it like crowd sourced lawyers to even up egregious abusers of the public commons.

The community can somehow [1] filter actions up to the top and then automatically start a crowd funding campaign to take legal action based upon such things.

Might work against patent trolls and other organisations that we all feel are acting badly but we feel powerless to do anything about. I'd put £100 down now toward a class action lawsuit against the Daily Mail for constantly stealing peoples content.

I'd say this is highly likely. I saw it posted earlier on hn and Reddit. If it's doing the rounds, it seems plausible that 25k people just gave it a whirl. The article even states that the spike could be a due to Ricochet, but "mystery" traffic makes a better headline.
> Of course, any network partition in a 2-node cluster has a huge potential for data corruption, as each node now thinks it is the master (split-brain).

This is not a given, the cluster can and should refuse to operate if it can not get a majority vote for the master, if that is required to prevent data corruption. With two nodes that means both nodes must be active and reachable, with three nodes one node can fail.
That is great explanation from Linus. Thanks for linking it. He uses AFS (Andrew File System) as an example in that post which I think would be very analogous to ZFS. Linus says

So, the ZFS case is not cut and dried either way. It would probably take a court case to clarify the matter as it is in a "gray area". To me, there seems like there is a good chance than ZFS and the Linux Kernel can be distributed as a combined work (But I Am Not A Lawyer!).
Actually, a lot of places constantly run "Zero Interest If Paid Off In 12 Months" deals all the time. Lowes, Furniture stores, and even some Credit cards.

We've paid off Couches, A refrigerator, a new Sewer Drain, and several other things (a nice Kitchen Table most recently) this way. It's not as good as saving for it, and getting a few dollars of interest, but that's a marginal gain anyway.

so in my mind, what we want to do is get the "interest-free loan" from our supplier of equal or greater duration to the credit term we give our customers

Yes, you got it :-) Although it doesn't always work in practice. As a small business, I have a UPS account with net-7 terms (they bill me once a week).

This is not normally considered debt, though. It's a liability, but there is no formal loan agreement. I may have a customer push payment out to 90+ days and I end up getting the same amount as if he had paid me within 30 days as agreed. So if UPS charges me $100 to send them an item overnight, but they don't pay me the $5,000 for that item for 3 months, I still have to pay UPS within 7 days.
I like your username...

You are right, and thanks for pointing that out. I can generally tell how long it will take to read an article with a little scroll and a glance at the scroll bar. If the scroll bar is small, reading is going to take a while and vice versa.
I would say Yahoo is not yet a massive anti-capitalist prank of a company like Radioshack, but I would say it is reminiscient of blockbuster. August 29th, 1997 Netflix was founded and on Aug 31 of 2011 Blockbuster announced no one wanted to buy an asset that was pretty much a ton of rent obligations to strip malls, and millions of DVDS & VHS tapes.

However, the Yahoo assets are actually reasonably valuable and if they backout alibab it could be a good pickup for someone who was clever enough to use it.
Yahoo still serves ~12% of all search engine traffic in the US. I'll bet you Google and Microsoft are going to be fighting bitterly to buy the right to redirect that traffic to their engine.

If you're simply trying to say it's an invasion of privacy, sure, that's an argument to make. I'm not trying to be a "grammar nazi", but that phrase has a specific meaning that doesn't apply here, IMO. I'm trying to figure out if you're simply misusing an idiom (again, IMO) or if you're truly seeing this as some type of vilification of Eric.

This video on economic theory basically says that it's credit that causes booms and busts, and it's especially bad when credit is not used for investments because it inevitably creates a situation in the future where millions of people at once will have less money to spend, thus creating a bust:

I've never been able to use a non-split keyboard comfortably for long periods of time. I used a Kinesis Ergo for awhile and generally liked it except that I still have to be able to use other people's keyboards from time to time and it was just too different. The Microsoft Natural 4000 has been my favorite for around 8 years but I wish I could get one with mechanical switches. It has a slight curve - the "flat but split" form factor of some others feels a little off to me.
Full disclosure: I posted the app (back then version 1.0) on HN a few months ago. It haven't had much attention so I changed quite a bit about how it works (1.0: website based channels => 2.0 topic based channels connected to multiple websites). I'm aware that browser extensions are still not that attractive. Because of this and because how the 2.0 version works, I'm working on a site-integratable version (like Disqus) for single channels. The difference to Disqus is that the channels can be integrated into multiple sites and therefor form a connection between those sites.

The whole thing is still very early and I would be glad to hear some thoughts on this or what use cases you come up with.

Btw the backend is written in Elixir/Phoenix which is just a blast and you should try it out if you're a web developer :-)
