Collabora does for-profit work on LibreOffice, but integrates their work into LibreOffice's master. Mostly they even do this fairly openly and don't batch up commits then push them but make their changes small(ish) then push them.

You can definitely be a for-profit company AND work in the open.
Are there any better instructions for how to build this? I'm interested in it, but not having any luck with Bazel. First I failed with a permissions issue (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/739), then because I didn't have a "WORKSPACE" file, and now it gives me an unhelpful error message:

You can check our SDK out at developer.conversantlabs.com. It's currently in a developer preview. Send me an email at chris@conversantlabs.com. It would be great to talk more. If our conversation in this thread is any indication, I think we'll have a pretty good discussion :)
Chrome tells you the extension permissions, including for which URLs they apply, before you confirm installing it.
Zenefits currently handles payroll at my company. The machine isn't un-sturdy, it's become rusty, lost all lubrication, and seized up. They need to fix their software before allowing anyone to sign up and use it.

I haven't gone 1 weekly pay period in 2016 without some issue (late, missing, short paychecks, shifting paydays) or another. But I can't convince my CEO to go with some pros (ahem, ADP), yet. But they are very sales-centric and realize they have a problem... so there's some hope for them.

Everyone here is pretty frustrated with the situation. And the next time Zenefits fuck up, which I presume will be Friday, I will submit my already drafted ADP-Or-I-Resign-Immediately letter with timeline of their 8+ previous fuckups.

Edit*: It's 2016, not 2015... so every week we've use it
ah that explains it lol

I can say with confidence that they don't run fiber to all their platforms, even the ones that are readily accessible.
Exactly. One of my past jobs was maintaining a mature codebase that had been under incremental development for over a decade. Most of the bug fixes I made involved anywhere from 2 hours to 2 days of investigation, usually followed by a one or two line change.
Absolutely.

Symptoms of nicotine withdrawal - agitation, anxiety, difficulty concentrating.

Without access to heroin or opiates, you are in for 7 days of anguish, intense feelings of guilt, shame, darkness, self recrimination, horrible introspection, and if given the chance to end the suffering you will take more heroin, putting you back at square one.

If you soldier on, you are in for at least 3 weeks of not feeling yourself.

Best bet is to detox with suboxone, then taper suboxone, do not stay on suboxone more than 30 days or you will just be addicted to that.

Gabapentin will really help the process, you will feel almost normal after stopping the suboxone.

If you have friends addicted, this is the most pain free way to get them off.

Heroin -> suboxone 30 days -> gabapentin 30-60 days.

That recipe can get anyone with a habit off heroin almost painlessly.

Depending on the length of your habit, you might still not feel great after all that. Cannabis and tianeptine are your best friends in that case. That will get you back in shape.

After this you will see that heroin, while beautifully seductive and glorious, is a dead end in prohibitionist america.

I believe it only would have a place for someone elderly and infirmed, who could take it without interruption for the rest of their life. For those cases I think it is underused.

If you are young and healthy, it will only make your life worse than it was before you started.

A counter might be that popularity can overcome a dated interface. Look at the Drudge Report website, after all - wildly popular, and it looks like something out of the 1990s.

I, too, would like to see collapsible comments on HN, but I also want to keep the interface simple. It never needs to be flashy, just functional.
Great observation. I het annoyed by the scrolling and the fact that I cant tell who they're replying to without hitting parent.
This is pretty cool stuff. However, a problem with this approach is that it ignores the cerebellum. One of the reasons a road-side sobriety tests works is that the cerebellum is very susceptible to alcohol. When the cerebellum is not working well, you get clumsy.

This approach on a large scale would likely result in that type of clumsiness.
The architect of the Reich: On the architectural horror of Albert Speer
Yeah. There's no reason a site would "go dark" unless either there's no more seeders for the site (everyone deleted it off their computer, or the people who have it aren't running ZeroNet anymore) or the Namecoin .bit domain expired and no longer links to the ZeroNet address (at which point you could still access it through the long address that will never expire).

As long as someone has the page, it won't go down.
It's hard to think of a way in which someone could die suddenly and tragically where you can't come up with a plausible message board conspiracy theory to "explain" it.
> help is nicer, grouping options together by category ... vs ... long list of options in alphabetical order.

Honestly, either is good. Grouping options is good if you don't know what you're looking for, and alphabetical is good if you do. The bad ones are like the help page for rsync - a ton of options, with no semantic ordering at all.
Agreed that it's a bit ambiguous, but in modern British English this usage of "random" is really common. I didn't even think about the headline until people started discussing it.
If you want to make flippant statements, perhaps you should find or research an infographic like: "Civilian deaths due to extremist groups vs. civilian deaths due to US military actions and sanctions".

Feel free to ignore the far longer history of one side, and the fact one side gave weapons and stupid quantities of free media airtime to the other.

If you recall, Wikileaks' war logs proved once and for all the real quantity of civilian deaths is a lot higher than you hear reported in the media by outing the US military's internally reported stats.

More people probably died in the first two months of the year in multiple African conflicts than civilian deaths attributable to terrorism in the last 10 years.

PS. Funny how as soon as I post this reply I get downvoted on both comments. American nationalism is alive and kicking on HN :)
On Wave 3, "justify-content: space-between" appears to position incorrectly on Firefox 44 on OS X: http://i.imgur.com/nx6hROH.png

On Chrome, it positions the turrets on the edges as expected.

This is a valid argument for also providing a useable non-script version of your side, i.e. doing graceful degradation. I absolutely agree that this is still an important thing to do in 2016.

However, I don't see how this is an argument for building only pure-HTML pages. Why can't I use scripting with client-side templates, so I get an its advantages for clients that support it and use a server-rendered version (ideally using the same templates) for clients that don't?

If anything I would see this as an argument for client-side templates, at least if you still want to use scripts for certain parts of your site. Because the other alternative - generating snippets of html on the server, then monkey-patching them into the current page via script - seems like the worst of both worlds to me.
Actually I'm not sure he's right. (Completely at least.) It's definitely the FBI's job to worry about public safety. But I don't think it isn't Apple's job to sell public safety. As I see it, they sell whatever they choose to sell, as any business does, in the interest of making a profit. These days privacy has becoming a much bigger issue, and something that consumers will pay for. And from the way Apple pitches their products, it seems that they do sell safety.

It might help, but drug dealers are pretty resourceful.

England has seen people using Fixed Odds Betting machines to launder money.

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/nov/08/gambling-mach...

> James, 24, looks like just another lost soul in the high street, shuttling between the six betting shops in an east coast seaside town. It's a weekday morning and if you catch up with him inside a bookmaker, you'll find him peering intently into the green glowing screen of an electronic gambling machine – feeding in £200, "a score at a time".

> But this is not a young gambler blowing his meagre wages. James is a drug dealer and his interest in the bookmakers – and the fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) in each shop – is all about laundering money. "That's what turns dirty money clean," he says. Dealers feed their drug money through the machines, losing a little and then cashing out with the vast majority of their stake, James says. They can then collect a printed ticket showing they have gambled that day – meaning that if stopped by police, they can answer questions about why an apparently unemployed young man carries hundreds of pounds in rolled-up cash.

> Earlier this month the Gambling Commission, the industry regulator, fined Coral bookmakers £90,000 in profits it made from one drug dealer who had laundered almost £1m in its shops.

I don't think the gamblers care. It's unlikely he was feeding £50 notes into the machines, but £20s and £10s.

The charts are not reporting what happened during the flash crash, they are for a separate, later event that they chose to see if the behavior was regular. It was, but not to the levels seen during the flash crash, as is to be expected from the cause.

This is not about a time when some technology broke under extreme load, this is about a broken system that persisted in that state for an extended period of time, and it was broken in a way that made it no longer compliant with the law.
This and related code bases (such as the programming language hopper, which is my focus) are the work of several colleagues along with myself. Happy to try to answer any tech/computer science focused questions.

NB: a lot of the stuff still has much work to be done, but we're transitioning to working in the open :)
The rules say that they choose the best rate that satisfies demand, then pays all accepted bids that rate.

But bids change over time, and you can't just buy one hour's energy: plants take time to "boot up" which have costs. So they pay in 3 hour increments. If your bid for time t is accepted, they pay you for t,t+1, and t+2.

JPMorgan set prices at {Good price, outrageous price, outragous price}

JPMorgan got an average of 2/3*outrageous price, which made them an obscene amount of profit.

The stupid system didn't notice.

As I understand it the players submit bids to a central computer that decides who to order from.
interesting that you've had issues with your paychecks... <logs into Zenefits to check>
The extension badly needs settings, so that you can control what features you want and don't want. That being said, the author of the extension isn't really active on GitHub. He certainly hasn't replied to my pull request that adds the ability to tag users yet.

I might fork it one day, call it HNES+ or something. Then maybe development can gain a bit of traction again.
Plus com-cash has exclusive rights to those telephone poles.

Never thought of that, good idea though. Do you recommend having the jsonTree() function check if its a valid URL, or using a separate function?
It is a turf war because times are changing. This is actually a central theme in the newest James Bond movies, and one that Marshall Mcluhan wrote about back in the 70's:

>Man Hunter and Sleuth: Posture and Imposture

>In one of Sherlock Holmes's adventures his quarry demurs when Holmes declares that he had seen him at a particular spot. The quarry retorts that "I saw nobody follow me there." And Holmes comments, "That is what you may expect to see when I follow you."

>Half the world today is engaged in keeping the other half "under surveillance." This, in fact, is the hang-up of the age of "software" and information. In the preceding "hardware" age the "haves" of the world had kept the "have-nots" under "surveillance." This old beat for flatfoots has now been relegated to the world of popular entertainment. The police state is now a work of art, a bureaucratic ballet of undulating sirens. That is a way of saying that the espionage activities of our multitudinous man hunters and "crediting" agencies are not only archaic, but redundant and irrelevant.

Ha, feedback is always appreciated. What aspects did you think needed more design work?
And to hold grudges for what happened to your supposed ancestors 800 years ago.
Actually no. From the manpage:

Use "-C -" to tell curl to automatically find out where/how to resume the transfer. It then uses the given output/input files to figure that out.
On Linux you can give an executable admin access to network devices with setcap which narrows it down further. Is the same possible on OS X?

Edit. Actually this is worse than running as root isn't it!
Good point!

If nobody's tried it, axel mentioned in the report as possibly abandoned has the awesome feature of splitting a download in to parts and then establishing that many concurrent TCP connections. Very useful on individual TCP flow rate-limited networks.
Entirely so. Non-linear regression sounds like a tool that can be used without any ethical repercussions or philosophical angst about human obsolescence in the face of machine capabilities. It also sounds like a tool that anyone can use...either learn math or find a library that will do the (non)linear regression for you. I mean, you already heard about linear regression in high school, right? It doesn't sound as exotic as AI/DL either...

If the barriers to entry are low, then that means anyone can take advantage of the Power of Math to do Great Things(tm). Said "Great Things(tm)" might include humans trusting their models way too much and end up doing stupid stuff as a result of them, but people have been misusing statistics for generations and we haven't killed ourselves (yet).
You may be misinformed.

I might be.

However I believe that I can back my shit up better than you can.

+1; I likely wouldn't be able to just jump on any host and copy/paste some commands that worked from my laptop with this, but I can do that with curl and assume that it's installed and of a reasonably serviceable version basically everywhere I'd be.
Please don't take this as being negative - It's not my intention.

It's great your learning an up and coming framework - BUT - this is exactly what is wrong with modern day web development / developers.

Although it's a lovely page, there is no reason to use a framework like AngularJS 2 for this. Nothing about this page couldn't be done with pure html / css and a bit of javascript for the form. Point being - programmers are always so quick to jump on the latest tech to do what could be done without it.

That aside - looks good to me! The parallax is a bit flickery in Chrome latest but it's "ok".
Probably mostly because there isn't a commercial proposition for supersonic passenger planes. Fuel is the biggest single cost driver in commercial aviation, and aircraft use more fuel per unit distance the faster they go. This is why passenger jets are slower today than they were in 1965.

I'm not sure why NASA's even bothering, unless the idea is to make supersonic aircraft for important government officials (cost being no object when tax dollars are used) and leave the the cramped cattle-car air travel to the plebes.
You make some very good points. Question is, is there any way to know if such a malicious program is on your machine?

It also might not be legal for them to set the price. Local governments can only regulate telecom prices under limited circumstances.
Meh. It is a bit nitpicky but the sentiment is appreciated. The language around this is a mine field and some are pickier and quicker to offence than others.

I coach at a tennis club for players with low or no vision and we have a standing joke around how we're technically classed as 'vulnerable adults' but this is very much not the impression that people take away from meeting is for the first time. It's funny from where we're standing.
I've experienced this in another side of the world--ad agencies. Very frequently accounts were sold on one thing and since the commissions were tied to closing the deal with the fattest margin possible and were completely divorced from the long-term success of the account, often times accounts ended up with lots of promises, and an understaffed, burnt-out team desperately trying to keep them happy because it was their asses if the account left.

When I got to a level where I played a major role in pitches, scoping, and staffing teams, it was definitely a struggle at times to make sure an account was staffed in a way where the fees would support the staffing that aligned with a client's expectations of the work and deliverables they would receive.

Ultimately we were able to get to a much better understanding of that through comparing the cost of retaining a client vs. the cost of new client acquisition, making our SOWs much more specific, and making sure people whose success was measured in the longevity of that relationship (ie. me and the people who would ultimately own the account) were involved in the scoping/pricing/contract part of the process with sales.

That didn't fully get rid of the friction or differing incentives, but it made sure that there was a healthy data-driven discussion around the potential outcomes of selling in one thing vs. another.

Unfortunately it took things getting worse before they got better to bring about that change, but it happened nonetheless. It does require buy-in from the top down though, and I'm not sure that is something that could realistically happen in a heavily-funded company with...optimistic...sales goals.

Spam can mean many things. Much of spam is the typical phishing, infected attachment, or scam type emails.

Technically in the U.S., if you opt in to receive offers, newsletters, etc. from an organization at some point, this isn't considered spam.

Even if you accidentally opt in, you should have an easy way to unsubscribe. This makes reporting of these types of emails pretty low.
Awesome tutorial!

I feel like flexbox could have been so much simpler.. I mean, there's a reason why there are so many "Learn flexbox tutorial" out there. Like, "justify-content: flex-end" won't win any API award.
Yes, I think you're right and I think the FTC would also disagree with Comey on that one. Companies have a duty of care to take reasonable and appropriate measures to maintain the privacy of customer data in their care, commensurate with the scale and sensitivity of the data, and the cost and availability of the tools and technology to protect it.

By that definition it's precisely the Apples and Googles of the world who have the greatest responsibility to design their products to be secure.

In what strange world would we expect the FBI to design TouchID or TrueCrypt or ChaCha20? If anything history has shown us we can't trust NIST or IETF to get it right, or even not to be secretly subverted to get it wrong!
Very cool! Would love to be able to stop mid wave and tweak a mistake instead of waiting for the whole thing to finish/refresh. Sucks having to retype my rules all over again too.
I'm not sure why you feel like that, I switched back to Windows after ~1 year of using OSX, I wouldn't say its "miserable" there is really nothing I could do in OSX's command line that can't do in windows.
I was just saying that windows does have this stock, it's just not many people know about it. It's extremely handy, cause you can save directly (no going through paint or other hacks) or copy and paste it into Word/Outlook and other stuff, already trimmed to exactly what you need. Average week, I use Snipping Tool like 20~30 times.
