Maybe an age thing, hormones do die down I hear! But I doubt these people you're talking about (yourself included) are all celibate though.

Unless you're celibate, then this is equivalent to wanting to be with another mate, as that is what will happen. Not to discount the rationalizations, by all means freedom beats family for a lot of people. The latter is necessarily a sacrifice of the former.

Fair point. Consider my mind swayed.

You can see emotions on characters that way. That's part of the point.
Yeah, that's what I thought, no way this post got 2000+ upvotes. Even on Reddit such scores were relatively uncommon until recently.
My cynical/conspiratorial side says that the reason the voting system is 'fuzzed' isn't because it makes it harder for bots to game the system (this explanation doesn't make sense to me because you will always know how well a post is doing by its place on the page, who cares how many upvotes it has if you know you botted your post to rank #4?) but because it allows the admins to more easily manipulate votes. Instead of selling advertisements on the sides of the page they could just boost certain posts and it would be extremely hard to tell from the outside that they are doing this because the votes are kept obfuscated. Even better, instead of naively just giving posts upvotes you could apply a secret upvote multiplier to certain posts. This way only secret advertisements that people are already mildly receptive to would make it to the front page lest you alienate your audience too much.

You are correct that Apple does not sell parts--and thus "genuine OEM parts" do not exist outside of an Apple store. That being said, most highly-rated third-party repair shops use high-quality screens that are pretty much indistinguishable from your original Apple screen.

Check reviews and ratings of any third-party store before you get your phone repaired. There are great ones and there are terrible ones, just like with any service business. And if anyone from any store tells you they buy iPhone screens from Apple, or that they do use "genuine OEM parts", now you know--they are lying.

"The fact of the matter is that people become unhappy in a relationship of any kind when they think they are getting the short end of the stick, and could be doing better."

This is such a pithy statement, used with such simple compelling force, that I applaud it even while disagreeing. Some points that counter this message:

1) What percentage of partners that end up leaving the marriage do so with another partner lined up?

2) Of the percentage that do not - a sizable set I would assume - how many exited after long-term (years?) relationships?

3) Of the percentage that did - another sizable set I would assume - what caused the reasoning process to take so long? Why didn't they conclude they could do better earlier?

I would argue most people go into marriage with at least some amount of good faith effort to make it last. Why do they make such a good faith effort in the first place if they are operating as you would say?

If you can run the app on a jailbroken/rooted device, it's fairly easy to beat certificate pinning in a few different ways. Two that come to mind are:

* find the certificate file in the app and replace it with your own.

* hook the function that verifies the certificate and make it return true.
If you're talking about a "static" setup where you attach both at the same time or not at all, yes. ZFS export before unplugging, ZFS import when plugged in, I can see it working very nicely.

If you're talking about using one of them most of the time and syncing occasionally then any filesystem will do, you'll want a user-level tool for doing the sync (probably - sibling did mention zfs send which I don't have any experience with).
Interesting. Looks like you used CERN to slam trello and slack together.

I don't know if this is possible, but what I would love to have is a toggle in a PM app that could swap a project timeline between trello-like cards and a MS project-plan like list.

I know that extremely complex projects, like building an aircraft, like to use Planisware-like apps.

People like task cards from trello. Some projects require ms project gants etc...

So it would be great to have the slack+trello I'd (which is how this feels to me) but also be able to have gant-able nested tasks.

I'd also like to have a budgeting widget as well, but that may already exist in this app - I can't tell.
Honestly, I think further development on prose.io UX and functionality is maybe a shorter path past the git barrier. If default branches could be set, new files were based on templates, and YAML presented as form fields, etc. Combined with drag-drop file or image addition, that sounds promising. Yes, detail/devils.

This is a bit concerning, though the title of "Shut out the USAF" is kinda clickbait-y exaggeration. It's certainly an escalation in the little island "cold wars" of the pacific. Many countries have competing claims on the island and play a little military "chicken" every now and then, usually with minor ships or handfuls of troops. This is the first I've read of any country putting major semi-fixed military hardware on any of these contested islands, though.

Clearly missiles like this are a concern for the USAF, but the technology and tactics are in place to deal with them. They certainly do limit the kind of operations that any opposing AF would be willing to undertake without carrying out a strike against the missiles. Like sure, we could probably take them out with the latest fighters and missiles on a well-planned mission, but how willing would we be to send transport or recon aircraft or lone fighters wandering around where they might be in range of these things? What might we, or any other nation, be willing to do around them without attacking them and thus possibly triggering a much larger war? That's the level they're operating at here.

I wonder if any other nations will start basing their own high-end hardware on contested islands, or ask the US to do it?

As you might be aware, all clinical trials begun in the US since late 2007 must register with clinicaltrials.gov before the trial begins. Interestingly, this includes trials conducted overseas but which use drugs/devices manufactured in the US. [1]

Corporations shouldn't be people though. This is a dangerous precedent.
Chanel captures the entire market for Chanel handbags. Their company entirely controls the supply, and they artificially limit the new supply fabricated each year. No other company can manufacture Chanel handbags. Hence: artificial scarcity. Many luxury good companies operate on this premise. Hence my original comment.
It's called having a preference. I love PC gaming, so I call console gamers "peasants", but I totally own a PS4 and play Destiny all the time. I don't actually hate consoles, but I certainly hate on consoles.

I used to have an iPhone, but after it got outdated, I bought an Android phone. I also find OSX difficult to use and prefer Linux and Windows. I prefer Android, Windows and Linux, and think Google has better business practices than Apple. I guess you could also call me an "Apple hater", but I really just give people a hard time for having different preferences than I do.

I 100% stand behind Apple's standing up for security. I 100% support them backing down from their original justification of the intentional Error 53. I still prefer non-Apple things, so I'll advocate for it.

There's no real hate going on here. Every time there's a new console, the "Console Wars" heat back up again, but nobody really hates each other, they're just vehemently defending their personal preferences.

It's really a shame to see how many holes their are in this product. It's actually a nice (looking) product! It claims to handle everything for you: Firewall, antivirus, spyware. It even an option to let you run an app in (what it calls) a "sandbox" if you suspect the app might be harmful.

I had it installed on my Win 7 laptop for the past five years. It was a program that did alot to make you feel like it was protecting you, such as displaying a pop-up whenever:

- An app tried to connect to the internet

- An app tried to execute or communicate with another app

- An app tried to modify the registry

- An app tried to read keyboard/mouse input

Part of it could be rather annoying (particularly when some applications like Crashplan would try to auto-update and fail during the night because I wasn't at my keyboard to approve the connection attempt that Comodo blocked), but it did feel secure. After the last Comodo gaffe[0], however, I finally said enough and uninstalled Comodo Internet Security and went with GlassWire instead for my firewall.

My brain is only saying "today I learned" from Reddit.
Likely they are shooting for the whole unikernel craze.

Cram this with some server into a VM and drop the VM on top of Linux in the cloud.

Supposedly this setup provides performance vs security middle ground between containers and a full blown distro in a VM.

Meaning that as there is just a minimal kernel present you get higher performance, while being wrapped in a VM reduce the potential of exploits compared to a container.
A lot of sites have tried to "fix" reddit. I even worked with one of them (snapzu) on some of their back-end stuff. One thing I did was research what else was out there to see what stuff was/wasn't being innovated on. Here's what reddit is competing with today (other than caucus):

HN commentators are missing the point. Uber's strategy is lifted straight from Groupons playbook: they're expanding aggressively internationally to drive home the message that "HEY LOOK WE'RE A GLOBAL PLAY. WE'RE IN 42 CITIES IN CHINA!"

This will drive up the IPO value. By the time they get steamrolled by the local competitors or by the local regulators (likely both) they'll have sold off their shares to the dumb retail investor.

The fact that the heads of Uber China and its main local competitor are literally family members is very telling....
I disagree with the Citizen's United comparison, since donating time towards a campaign can't be pocketed the same way money is. You can't commoditize already-spent labor in that way.

Regardless, I think the real solution would be campaign laws similar to the UK's. It's my understanding that each candidate is given the same hard cap on campaign spending, which encompasses everything from advertising to the cost of sleeping on a friend's couch while traveling. Every candidate's expenditures are diligently recorded and easily audited if necessary, and it creates a level playing field.
Well the metadata I'm referring to is the metadata required to locate a file: mappings from directory structure, filename, possibly permissions / ownership to the blocks and replicas distributed across a cluster. If you get to the point where you need start locating metadata because it might also be arbtirarily distributed you now need meta-metadata. And I'm sure you can see how complex that's going to get :)

Yes I agree. I can't be a coincidence. They deliberately picked the best weapon in this debate, biased public opinion.
Not a bad tack considering where the iPhone is made.
I have comodo ssl certificates just because they are cheap but when I see how bad they fuck up anything that has to do with security (like their chromodo browser), I wonder if I shouldn't have bought shorter dated certificates. At this pace it is bound that they lose their root certificate sooner or later.
Google's face/landmark/label/text/logo detection models are open source? Or there exist open source pretrained models?

Google's Inception v3 pre-trained image recognition model is open source: https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r0.7/tutorials/image_rec...

That's the hard part because as you note this is computational intensive (the training data is actually open source as the ImageNet dataset)

There is existing code for the others part that perform pretty adequately (with the possible exception of landmark detection).

I agree with the sentiment you express, but many clinical trials are funded privately by pharmaceutical companies.

You could, of course, note that many clinicians who run trials work at Medicare-supported hospitals or work for grant-supported departments, however
I disagree 1) that they are, and 2) that they oughtn't be allowed to be for what you're intending.

On 1) They aren't persons, but do have a limited degree of personhood. Among other things, that personhood is what allows us to sue them and such.

On 2) I don't have a problem with it. If companies have to abide the law, then I can't imagine how it would be that they shouldn't have input into its making.

I agree that corporate influence is a real problem, but would personally suggest that limiting the scope of influence available to lawmakers is a better alternative to fixing the problem than limiting people (who form corporations) of their first amendment rights.

That said, this debate is getting into the 'purely political' territory, and is probably not a great fit for an HN discussion.
