I never understood this attitude.

Most executives are either life long doctors, or worked their way up the corporate ladder. I don't understand why people who work hard to get to these positions are suddenly vilified as being somehow overpaid?

Take for example the CEO at Cedars-Sinai Health System in LA. They guy has held his CEO position for 17 years and worked his way up thought the ranks. He also went to school and got an undergrad and masters degree. He started in 1979 as an assistant admin and took the top job in 1994. So after 15 years of working his way up to CEO, he's should somehow not be paid in accordance with what other Health Care CEO's are getting paid?

If you want a villain, look at the system that's broken, or the government regulations, but seriously, get off the executives back for fucks sake. They aren't "gifted" CEO spots, they had to work hard to get there, and most have done amazing things for the industry.

Yes. It's called a mitigation, and it's what we do to make systems more secure. But they certainly can be reliable.

The Internet has been using DNS resolvers known to be vulnerable to cache poisoning birthday attacks for at least 14 years. We add basic defenses that prevent the majority of attacks, and trudge on, rather than fix the protocol itself, which is a big complicated mess. The smaller, less effective fixes reach a broader number of use cases with less effort, and so we get along okay.

Likewise, we know that no matter what language we use, there will be at some point a problem with regard to accessing memory, and so we put protections in place to limit the scope of those attacks in a broad sense. It's a more effective mitigation for a greater number of use cases. It is not a panacea.
> It's set to replace OpenGL in the long term, no?

No. Not at all. That's why it's not a successor.

If you're a huge games company writing an engine, sure, it's a better fit for you than OpenGL.

If you're almost any other visualization use-case, it's too low level and you'll want to remain with the higher level OpenGL API.

It's an alternative, not a replacement. At most OpenGL might come to be a friendly API implemented on top of Vulkan, as opposed to beside.

There are two situations I can think of.

1) Some people have high incomes and low liquid capital/savings after paying a deposit. (So could afford to service two mortgages temporarily but don't have the stamp duty to lay down then reclaim.) They may not be poor either, they may simply have a lot of equity in property 1 that isn't liquid.

2) Others may choose to rent out their old property for a year or so until they are in a better position to sell. This does not really make them rich landlords to target with extra tax and they'll get it back anyway, but they may not have the capital as in option 1.

Bizarre. Surely you'd notice the difference between Parmesan and wood? Or Cheddar? Cheddar is great, but a totally different kind of cheese than Parmesan.

But I have heard that many frozen cheese pizzas use fake cheese. Even in Europe. Because the ingredients used for fake cheese are in the pizza anyway, and if you put just a bit of cheese on it you can still put it on the label. The ingredients aren't false, but the stuff that looks like cheese isn't all cheese.

We grate our own Parmesan, but we don't make our own pizzas.

If I were Leica and I could sell my camera as accessory in a fashion mall, why not? This tells me more about the people shopping there, than about Leica. It's probably not Leica positioning themselves there, but some smart business people seeing good margins.

I find this idea interesting! Look at what John Oliver, John Stewart, Jay Lenno, etc. have done with jokes as a method to make a point have more bite. They entertain and also report information.

When I need to do a math as part of my primary activity, I use my HP12C. In part that's because it is easier for me to use a dedicated device, even in the field, than to wade through an app store and it is more pleasurable for me to use something that is advertising free and more intellectually satisfying to me to not share personal data with advertizers when I perform calculations.

I didn't say anything about what anyone else should or shouldn't do.
This is a complete misunderstanding of what that quote from Stephen Fry is saying. Of course people get offended. Everyone get offended all the time! So what? He's doing exactly the right thing: He isn't having fun using Twitter, so he stops using it. He's not claiming that getting offended is somehow beneath him, he's saying that getting offended is no big deal.

It's everyone else who is making a big deal out of him leaving Twitter, which (again) kind of proves his original point. Stephen Fry leaves Twitter. Well, so fucking what.
This is why I believe that this rebranding is one of the worst since New Coke. It not only fails to help the brand. It actively hurts it.

When you're trying to create a logo or brand, the first step in the process is to determine the "values" that are associated with a brand.

These values force a company to ask what are we selling?

Is a Corvette dealer selling you fuming gasoline, smudged glass, and cold steel? No, they're selling the open road. Sun on your arms, with the wind sweeping through your hair. The dealer isn't just selling an engine, some wheels, and a few chairs.

What they're selling, what they're really selling, is freedom.

Now look at the most recent U-logo for both Apple and Android:

http://defiantly.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/uber-logo.pn...

What does it communicate?

First, it conveys identity. It shows me a high-contrast single symbol (U) that strongly identifies the brand. A customer can see that symbol a handful of times and come to instantly make a very strong connection to the company.

Second, this logo immediately conveys the brand's values. Somehow I can tell that this is a premium product, probably in the "aspirational luxury" category: a treat for the middle class, a luxury for the haute middle class, and a necessity for the upper class.

Why does the brain automatically know this? Because the logo draws on a language of visual metaphors that are embedded in our culture, and thus our advertising. See all the following logos:

Gucci:

https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F6tpNhNYBdo/Usa7AjaHphI/AAAAAAAAC...

Versace:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/rapgenius/1322717097_versace_logo.j...

Uber:

http://defiantly.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/uber-logo.pn...

High contrast black and white is a symbol for accessible luxury. The U renders it nearly universally recognizable. I understand the desire to tweak the branding, given the more market-diverse offerings, but throwing out what is quite close to a perfect brand for this nonsense reeks of corporate mismanagement.

Sorry Uber. I'm glad I turned you guys down.
> The government is heavily subsidising house purchasing... I'm paying (through high taxes) for homes that I don't live

How so? Taxes on property purchases, especially in London, generate significant income for the government - according to http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/stamp-duty-burden-on-l..., London house buyers paid more than £3 billion in stamp duty in 2014, with one London borough (Westminster) contributing more than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland put together, and the most expensive London property (in Belgravia) raising more than the whole of Liverpool.

I agree. I feel like people amplify their emotional reasoning to the extreme with social networks enough to jump into whatever moralistic "shoulds" or anything that can get them behind the "right", sort of like putting your morals on the line in a popularity contest, a hell of a emotional rollercoaster.

People seldom take perspective and context in account. Especially if they all go into the angry mob mentality as you mention which I'm pretty sure we have seen plenty of times.

Meh, it looks good to me. It still says Uber underneath the icon. It took me a couple more seconds of confused scanning the first time I went to order a cab after the redesign, but that's not too bad.

At least for me, productivity on laptops is very high after a large initial hurdle when using something like Arch Linux, for instance. In my grade school days I spent a good amount of time familiarizing myself with package managers, desktop environments, etc. and now that I have found an ideal setup (i3 WM) I've stuck with it for years. I find my system is faster due to the lighter environment, more consistent on a day-to-day level due to no automatic updates, and more flexible if I ever need to change my workflow. Additionally, with Linux I more feel like I'm working with most developer tooling rather than against. Given the downsides of traveling this road, I wouldn't recommend it to many people, however.

Historically there's been a big divide between what the game engine vendors vs the CAD vendors want out of the OpenGL standard, so this split is a good thing for both. The existing OpenGL systems stick around without dragging game performance down with them.

> 11 Israel: origin of half of the problems of the world, but nothing can be said against them for they are friends of the masters (even masters cannot say anything), so let us talk about drones

How on earth can Israel be the origin of half of the problems in the world? Anyone who knows a tiny bit about geopolitics knows how untrue this is. And Israel gets bashed all the time on the internet, tv, newspapers and even universities where they dedicate whole weeks criticizing this tiny country. How can you say "nothing can be said"? And how ironic that this comment is one of the most upvoted, contradicting itself. Last but not least, saying that Jews control the masters is basically, well you know Godwin and all that.

I'm myself from Syrian/Muslim origin and I know Israel is not perfect, but I am sick of everyone blaming everything on them. We need to take responsibility and recognize our own mistakes so we can fix them instead of blaming everything on the juice. Seriously, stop it. And yes, Israel does build amazing tech so it deserves to be mentioned in here for that reason, not because "we can't say anything" about its politics.

I find that a lot of security vulnerabilities result from confusion about what side of a security boundary something is on. Treating a parameter as sorta-untrusted can be actively harmful if it leads someone to believe that parameter was supposed to be untrusted. I think it's much more effective to concentrate on strict, designed security boundaries that stop 100% of attacks than to create a bunch of ad-hoc 80% barriers.
Congratualations! It's a major step forward.

I'm not active on twitter, but from what I've seen, particularly in the aftermath of GamerGate, is that it's a putrid mess of hatred, threats, and bigotry. The problem doesn't so much seem to be that people are defending others, but that they are attacking them.

I never really saw the point, but it in the past few years it has seemed even more pointless. You just can't have a good, nuanced conversation in 140 characters. You can only shout one-liners and threats. It's what the medium seems designed for.

Ask HN: Where do you find out about new programming tools?
Are there any good blogs or news sites about new development tools. Not only for web developers.
>There are a lot of programs, which cannot use GPL for some of its restrictions, e.g. commercial software.

You mean proprietary software. People that write free software do not want their work used in software that does not guarantee that users will have the same freedoms that they gave to others. I think the thing that a lot of people overlook here is that the proprietary software developers want to impose their own set of restrictions that are incompatible with free software. Let's not pity the poor company that cannot profit off the work of others without sharing back.
