I was considering that for a while, but then - the startups I worked with used Google Apps.

For setting up mail servers on FreeBSD it would probably be easier to have someone port Zimbra.
So they pitched it as ~1 year from inception to delivery, anyone got any idea how close they were to that schedule?
You can't market make between people who have too little money and people who have too much money. Lending money to consumers won't work because while their increased consumption would produce economic activity and profit for someone, it wouldn't return to them and so such lending is inherently risky, so the interest rates would have to be high, which just further exacerbates the problem that they have too little money.

This paper is basically a stone's throw away from the Marxian analysis of crises of capital. It's nice that it's quantitative; a nice complement to all the qualitative criticisms of capitalism's fundamental structure. It's not the market that is the issue, but the tendency of capital to concentrate in the hands of the propertied class. There are two kinds of capitalist societies actually seen in the real world, the unstable kinds, and the kinds that have significant wealth redistribution mechanisms. Real economies oscillate between the two or collapse.
Unfortunately, I don't have a Bitbucket account because I don't approve of Atlassian, so I can't. But hopefully someone here who does use Atlassian products will do it?
Paul Graham (co-founder of y-combinator) questioned whether inequality itself is a bad thing [1] [2]. I'd love to hear his comments. Or has he backtracked? I know that Ycombinator is investigating a basic income [3], which addresses income inequality.

I'd love to see the level of a basic income used as the knob to use to kick-start an economy. Or some argument as to why this is a bad idea.

I'm sure that 9 out of 10 priests believe in the existence of God as well, however the consensus does not strengthen the fundamental assertion.

You cannot say the same about climate change scientists. I hope this example has made the difference between economics and science clear.
I'm just wondering how ads/trackers get such a pass from CFAA. My initial comment was about JavaScript, but Halperin is about adware install! And isn't merely creating botnets illegal? Even if you use them only for good things.
Man, they use Git and you complain? I've collaborated with pretty brilliant PhDs[1] who would say "Subversion is so complicated, can't we just use Dropbox?"

Agreed. There's an indicator for when the mic is activated in the background, but not when the use utilizing app is in the foreground. Nothing at all for camera activation.
Also major contributor is the mild weather. Make this race take place in dry 110F heat and you'd probably see very different results.
There is a book titled "stay awhile, and listen" describing the early days of Condor/Blizzard North and Diablo.
I see a lot of complaints about how Amazon dealt with this customer.

I will tell you story from other end - I sell few private labeled products via Amazon as a third party seller. I had instances where people return supplement bottle with reason "Do not match description on website". Bottle is unopened, picture is exact picture of the product, description is the same. The only reason for return is - "Changed my mind", but it will cost $5.5 to ship back in that case, that's why "Not as described".

As a result this costs amazon few bucks for return shipping, it costs me few bucks for "pick and pack" fees.

So do not assume automatically customers are always right. There are people who takes advantage of it.

We all need to work together:

1) sellers needs to listen to customers and bring high quality product

2) amazon needs to weed out sellers with poor quality of service

3) amazon needs to weed out buyers who either take advantage of the system, or just never learn a lesson about "if it look cheap, it is probably a junk" (and this is because buyer can take an advantage)

4) buyers - be responsible and think about consequences of you actions. And not blame everybody else. Also, try to work out with amazon/seller - there is no shame in reaching out and explaining problems. Most likely you problems will be solved.

Only via such iterative way whole ecosystem can grow into convenient and efficient thing of tomorrow.
Not at all, it's pure bullshit designed to intimidate the request or.

State agencies, especially police agencies, are laser focused on external funding sources and track federal grant monies very carefully. Likewise, the Feds require exacting tracking of assets purchased.

Usually there is an office of 6-12 people dedicated to those grants.
Today I learned. Thanks for correcting me.
Any incremental progress over time results in increased wealth, but that's a rather low bar. Should think of how much better or worse things could be, not just that they improved. Technology has been increasing, innovation has been increasing (with time). That's a very low standard of expectation.
Thanks. We're looking for people and projects that we can work with and highlight to promote impact programming!

>I always question the run for pixels and physics when a 'simple' 2d world sucked you that much.

I loved the old games with shoddy graphics, spent hundreds of hours playing them in high school - but going back to them I just can't get in to it - not even the supposedly great games I haven't played like Baldur's Gate/Planescape Torment even when I played and liked Icewind Dale (same gameplay/graphics different story) and neverwinter nights (first 3D version - very bad 3D graphics). I tried picking up old NVN because I can remember the immersive feeling when I first played trough that game and all the expansions - but when I picked it up I just got bored by lack of narrated dialog, no dialog animation, etc. Hard to play a game like that after playing something like Mass Effect and Witcher 3.

The same thing about movies, especially when they rely on CGI - CGI does not age well at all - stuff that was considered great even 10 years ago is a joke when watching now.

I don't think there is a universal bar when it comes to evaluating stuff like this - even the enjoyment of it is based on expectations that's set by other similar content and others improving graphics just raises the standards.
No, I'm saying that someone like Donald Knuth is obligated, by the terms of his employment as a premier academic, to sit on the cutting edge of both mathematics and computer science.

/u/dxbydt commented on this very well, so I'll only reinforce the point that not everyone is Donald Knuth. If the distinction between DS and Engineer is blurred in your specific instance, and you're capable of Knuth-ian levels of work in both, you are almost certainly underpaid and need to lead a team or start a company yourself, stat, since a top-tier combination of those skills is exceedingly rare.
The document says 1994 and diablo was released 31st of December 1996(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_%28video_game%29). So it was very delayed. I guess that the game underwent some huge changes to justify this delay.

Some of the changes are described in this chapter of the book "Stay Awhile and Listen": http://www.shacknews.com/article/76406/chapter-8-finale-cond....
The part I found especially interesting was how they changed it from turn-based to ARPG:

> Our company was saying, "We're going to take on this developer, Condor, and we're going to publish their game. It's called Diablo." And for a couple of months we were working on it not knowing that it was turn-based. When it came out that it was turn-based, we said, "No, that sucks."

> We actually took a vote. They said, "Raise your hand if you would buy this game if it were turn-based." I think two people raised their hands. Then they said, "Raise your hand if you would buy this game if it were real-time." Everybody raised their hands. Allen went in and called Dave Brevik and said, "Look, you've got to make this real-time."
Well yeah. Lots of people on HN from America. Very very few live in Afghanistan.

Luckily, "git" is already a derogatory term, so any misspelling would just make it less derogatory.
First release was December 31, 1996. So nearly 3 years, instead of 1!

I gave up and installed ad block for my parents after they've complained about lewd ads on the local news website.

Right now there're no porn ads, but usually it serves them too.
No, an indie game is 1-3 people. Often 1 programmer, 1 artist, 1 musician.
This is why I love HN. You randomly find the people behind things you love. OS is great (Although I used to love it more when I knew the companies being listed).
We hoped they would manage to run a fork of the browser we used to love and advocate for: the free and open and technically superior Firefox with real extensions like scrapbook (userfriendly recursive web page/site scraper), tree style tabs (if you do research on the web and haven't given it a try do it now) etc etc.

Others were unhappy about the new Firefox skinning that was backwards incompatible (I think).

It's really a matter of how long, in time, the race is. Someone in your link even mentions this. The 24 hour record for humans around 180 miles, whereas for horses it's about 100 miles. Pretty huge difference there.
They could use git with fancy pre-commit hooks and connect their repo to travis-ci to check every push for software and mathematical correctness, and I would still complain if it's not transparent exactly what code was used for the particular results used in the publication.

This technique maybe points a way toward answering a very important question: what is the optimum level of inequality in a society?

I doubt that the answer would be 'one where everyone is exactly equal,' because we do have differing physical and intellectual capabilities which would mean that if everyone was exactly equal, we would be under-allocating resources to certain people. On the other hand, it's almost assuredly true that the level of inequality we have now is just too high. The difficulty is in finding the exact equation to maximize.
Are you're going to vote for Hillary in the general anyway? If so, they're not going to pay any attention to what you want.
I've found that the kind of company that cultivates a culture in which degrees are paramount is not the kind of company I want to work for. I skipped college because I was alone in NYC and had to make ends meet. In that I'm wholly a self-made man, yet I choose to look forward to my future achievements instead of past ones. Anyone who is incapable of accepting my approach to life has nothing to offer me which I could learn.

A word of caution: don't fall prey to the Peter principle. You seem to have marketable hard skills, which brought you some success to date. You're better off capitalizing on those hard skills instead of moving up the management ladder. Think of it this way: at 28 you still have 30-ish years of professional work to look forward to. Assuming you can make the jump to CTO right now, will you be able to sustain movement along a continuum of CTO-level employment until your retirement? That sounds unlikely because it is. You're better off pacing yourself by building out a technical base of unassailable solidity. You will reap rewards for this in the long term.
Wealth accumulates exponentially when you have longevity or inheritance in the system. Why do we suddenly act surprised that an exponential function is growing exponentially after we reduced all other variables that could slow its growth to zero.

Providing a git repo is so many orders of magnitude better than the usual "source code available upon request" throwaway line that I'd hesitate to complain about it. You'd be surprised how many people in non-CS fields still think that source code is something to be hidden from colleagues.

But yes, I would recommend that academics check out http://zenodo.org/ which not only helps with the tagging of a github repo but also provides a citable DOI.

While we're at it, we might as well point out that source code alone is useless if it doesn't come with instructions on what kind of environment is required to install and run it, as well as the actual input data files used by the authors.
So it's more like HTTP than an open source Skype. How is that spec managed and controlled?
I don't know if a degree is the solution, I'm open to anything. Right now, it feels like the lack of education excludes me from the following opportunities: Engineer at a BigCorp, funded cofounder/first hire (investors seem to want that pedigree), and tech lead/architect at a non-tech company that relies on the degree heuristic for leadership hires. I frequently see exciting job postings that require a bachelor's/master's CS degree, no exceptions.
The "sum of human knowledge" is not available on the internet. A lot of it yes, but not everything. And there is also plenty of misinformation on the internet as well.

Services like github lower the barrier of entry to the OS development, and make things a lot easier. I think they provide a lot of value. Of course things were also possible without github earlier, but I think the barrier to open source development was higher.
Yes! use Bluestacks emulator or RemixOS

My understanding is they can either use allocation in the JVM heap, or use the Graal foreign function interface to call native malloc, which is useful for inter-operating with native libraries outside the JVM.

Don't worry, Firefox is becoming the most secure browser since less people are using it everyday.
The author of the article, Mark Buchanan, has a blog [1] titled "Physics Perspective" and subtitled "Inspiration from physics for thinking about economics, finance and social systems".

New magnet technology looks like MAGIC: “Programmable Polymagnets”
At least in financial markets, it seems that over time, it has only become easier and cheaper for people with less money to purchase liquidity and participate on demand in some of the same markets as wealthy people. While there still are people who are too stricken by poverty to participate, the threshold of participation is getting lower -- which seems to stand in contrast to your claims.

On the other hand, there definitely are other forms of exchange, say like dark pools, where wealth and status are required to gain access.

I think I would hold out for a model that was able to work with actual transaction data like this, rather than needing the mathematical conveniences of the paper (that only budgets are limiting, that transaction network is the fully connected graph of all participants, etc).

It's good work, I hope to see it keep going and go in a more data-driven way.
I returned 20 items in 2015 alone. Half were shit products returned shortly after purchase, the other half were probably unused still in packaging. Only one was electronic. They have tightened up return policy, often you must choose "wrong description" just to get it returned fairly. I'm pretty sure this person abused the return policy. I'll also say the QC on items sold has gone down significantly. There is so much shit on there now, it really ruins the amazon experience.. I really don't enjoy returning stuff, it stresses me out every time.
In many cases you just have to parse stuff (using a recognizer). If you want to verify that your parser is, in fact, parsing the right way, then you have to look at it formally.
Looking at the repo, seems like there is only 1 commit. I have a BB account, so when I get back to my PC I'll drop them a message on the repo.

No new news in this article. The court hearing is on Tuesday

This is a report on two reporters debating the case. Unfortunately, the title does not say that.

I gather it's an attempt to make the issue more relatable to a layperson. Probably pretty boring to the HN crowd.
The rockputer comprises both the rocks and the mechanisms for moving the rocks in response to input. If the rock moving mechanism is structured properly, then the rock movement patterns could adapt to changes in the inputs to the overall rockputer system.

The level of complexity of the "passive" components of the system (i.e. the rocks) is irrelevant to whether or not the system can effect conscious-seeming behaviour when acting dynamically. Analogously, the underlying components of people, i.e. atoms, are clearly quite dumb on their own. When those atoms are allowed to evolve collectively over time, according to dynamics dictated by basic physical laws, conscious-seeming behaviour magically appears.

You can't deny the possibility of a conscious rockputer just by considering properties of the rocks.
> I doubt that the answer would be 'one where everyone is exactly equal,' because we do have differing physical and intellectual capabilities which would mean that if everyone was exactly equal, we would be under-allocating resources to certain people.

This is only true if one assumes private property and resource equality at the same time. If one abandons private property and tries to imagine systems of resource distribution based on democratic processes, there are far more possibilities. One possibility that obviously doesn't work out is a command economy where a centralized bureaucratic state owns everything. These systems seem to have similar dysfunctions to a megacorporation that owns everything in a country. We've never seen a decentralized, democratic system of communal property at large scale because they're always destroyed by violent means by other systems if they get too big.
Going further, if at all possible, leave validation up to others. For example, don't validate delivery addresses at all if your shipping company has a validation API.

If you must do validation yourself, put in the time to research it and get it right, don't just bang something out based on your own experience of the problem domain.

Edit: one more: if you must validate, keep this separate from how you store the data, so you can more easily fix your mistakes or adapt to changes.
This is much better than a boilerplate project. Problem with starting from a boilerplate is that you don't know how everything got to that point.

Many of the pro-gov people in this debate do not believe in corporate free speech. This makes some sense, as broad approval of corporate free speech would require agreement with the Citizens United opinion, as well as a dim view of many parts of the Dodd-Frank regulations.
In many states of India, you will be called an immigrant, not just migrant. Generally, the choicest of abuses are reserved for Bihari migrants though. Not so for educated migrants for Kerala, for example. Most Indian states have cultural identities stronger than even some European nation states and hence the conflict with the other.
This is something I'm looking forward to in Java 9. There is already a big effort in bringing R language to the JVM (google for project fastr on bitbucket) and it might be just a beginning. It might finally bring the interoperability between other, more specific languages and take advantage of vast amounts of libraries available for Java and other JVM languages.

Edit: link to the fastr https://bitbucket.org/allr/fastr
It's open source, and they encourage people to participate.

This is excellent advice, thank you. I think that after rising through the ranks quickly, I'm worried that my advancement (and earnings) are now capped for a while. Meanwhile I see less skilled developers fresh out of school making near what I make, getting signing bonuses, etc. and no doubt on their way to better pay at more interesting jobs. So there is an element of envy. Often it feels like I'm on the outside looking in on the tech industry because of all of the opportunities that seem unattainable (described here in another comment).
I don't think we should rely on financial markets for an idea of how markets can correct for structural issues. It hasn't been that long since they collapsed and dragged down the rest of the world economy with them, only being resuscitated by blunt and pervasive intervention at the level of states and multinational institutions.
