Fair point. I shop around for car insurance every year, and electricity suppliers, and I try to rebuild my hosting servers once a year to keep things 'fresh' and maintained. Email is no different to me, really.

The hassle isn't that great, at least it wasn't the last time I switched suppliers: decide on new supplier, pay 'em, set up the accounts, change the MX records to the new supplier, and then migrate the archived email in. I tend to have an overlap of 7-14 days in case I need to switch back for any reason.

Bytecode / binaries can be verified (for certain properties) using static analysis. Open source doesn't make verficiation that much easier (at scale), but it makes fixing a lot easier.

Also, until reproducible builds become commonplace, most linux users can't verify that their binaries come from a specific version of the source. Binary verification is the way to go.

1) all Clojure and other goodness have nothing to do with the game engine. It is editor only.
2) it's not even editor one can download - instead you'll get something based on Eeclipse, which has nothing to do with what is in video
3) Weirdly overcomplicated system around something others (like Corona) was doing for at least 3 years already

Well, first, there is lock-in for non-owners of projects: You cannot submit pull requests to pull from git repositories hosted elsewhere and without signing in. Which also is an incentive to use it for other things, once you have an account that you need in order to contribute.

Secondly, they do have proprietary features, embrace, extend, extinguish style.

That's not necessarily true. A $15 minimum wage is a doubling of the wage rate in most states, and as a result, doubles the incentives for someone who automates the minimum wage jobs out of existence.

It's all relative. If we assume entrepreneurs want to deliver a million dollars worth of value and the minimum wage was $8, they would have to automate 125,000 jobs out of existence in order to achieve $1,000,000 worth of value-added. With a $15 minimum wage, they now only need to automate ~67,000. That's almost half the work they'll need to do now for the same result.

Does the memory created by the LLVM IR get managed by the JVM's garbage collector, or is it manually managed à la C++? If the latter, I feel there's an awesome opportunity here for creating a hybrid memory-managed/unmanaged language like Terra (http://terralang.org/) that takes advantage of the massive Java ecosystem while letting people write low-level code when they need performance and full control over memory.
It looks like a great idea, so how can I contribute?

There are also lakes which occasionally emit big bursts of CO₂. And, of course, it's denser than air, so you get an invisible flood of CO₂ pouring down the riverway... where people live. These can be thoroughly fatal.

Lake Nyos emitted a CO₂ cloud in 1986 which killed 1700 people.

"That's an American point of view. We should judge them on how they ~commune~ with ~nature~, living in symbiosis with their habitat."

Yeah... only americans want high-GNP, access to technology, clean water, etc.. Everyone else just wants to live in peace in the jungle like a good noble savage.

Are you going to move there and be part of this great experiment to live in symbiosis with our habitat? If so then great, I advise you to move there now, make relationships on the ground and see what sort of economy, government, and legal situation the people near you want to experience. If you get a lot of support for your habitat symbiosis project, I'm sure it'll do great. Otherwise, maybe you shouldn't assume life is more complicated than it is and that everyone wants the nice things you get to take for granted.

I have JS disabled by default except some sites. I just want to notice that usually it is not only JS fault. Javascript in general is not slow - the problem is usually with third-party scripts (analytics, advertisement, social network buttons) that add huge load on a browser. They load large JS frameworks, create many iframes (and every iframe is like a new tab in a browser - it has own DOM, own stylesheets, its own JS VM), track events like mouse movement. For example Google AdSence can add several additional iframes per banner.

For example, reddit frontpage (which doesn't have much ad) has 6 additional iframes. It makes 76 requests (775 Kb) while loading of which only 15 (taking 335 Kb) belong to reddit domains, other are third-party. So by just disabling third-party services (you can do it on the browser side) they can make the page two times smaller.

Techcrunch has 19 additional iframes. It makes 273 requests (of which approximately 190 are third-party) and loads 2.1 Mb of data (of which approximately 1.1 Mb account for third-party domains). Opening single techcrunch page is like opening 20 new tabs in your browser.

And as a site owner you cannot optimize your ad provider scripts. Yet you can "optimize" them out at a browser side as a user.

Instead of blaming everything on javascript or jquery people should look at network tab in developer tools.

>Why should others respond with thought and respect when you offer only supreme sarcasm?

Revisionist history doesn't work when the history is two scrolls up. I made a joke, but I also gave you a serious response along with it.

>Saying that people butcher a language is a form of chastising people over language.

That's my opinion but I don't go around correcting people every time they drop a "he or she". I certainly don't start making insinuations about their character over it. I was responding to a completely unwarranted attack.

>And no, I will not let people like my wife stay faceless in the background of "the good men." How would you prefer that I correct usage like this in the future? Do you have a better term than "sexist"?

This isn't how you have discourse. You don't pick out two words that someone says, make it about your wife, and call them a sexist. Especially when it's abundantly clear that the role of women in the military wasn't even part of the discussion. But if your goal was to derail discussion, you were somewhat successful.
Absolutely nothing new; the marketing-analytics industry has been conducting this sort of profiling in stealth, and have been able to assign probable race, education, and SES tags to individual STB IDs and accounts, for over a decade.
This is admittedly extremely naive, but won't liquidity simply become a service that commands a premium? In finance, you see the entry of market makers who provide liquidity when you need it, in exchange for collecting a premium (the bid-ask spread).

As more market makers enter this situation, one of the main ways they compete is by lowering prices, which is good for consumers who rely on them for liquidity on demand. The market makers are essentially willing to put their money at risk by scrambling it around all day in the form of ownership of different assets, and then squaring up by the end of the day so that they hopefully don't hold any exposure to any asset over some significant time period.

This isn't about financial market making per se, but just the basic idea. There could be similar market makers in other fields, perhaps buying and selling physical goods, but never storing them for sale over time.

Fields where the handling and registration of goods transfers can't be as highly digitized as finance or energy would be much more expensive to provide liquidity, and the "bid-ask spread" would have to be higher to compensate.

In a sense, it would reflect the kinds of liquidity people care about buying, and if other kinds of liquidity dried up, it would be because people mostly didn't want to buy that liquidity.

I'm not saying that there wouldn't be unhealthy effects from inequality, but I think to the extent that inequality inherently limits liquidity, then market makers enter to provide that liquidity as a service.

> The reason is quite simple. As inequality gets more pronounced, a larger fraction of the population faces more stringent budget constraints, and the spectrum of possible economic interactions open to them narrows.

That's pretty simple, alright. Gee whiz. It's a good thing we have those abstruse theories from physics to tell us that people without money don't buy as much stuff.

I'm guessing this is a case of bad journalism -- anyone have a better layman's explanation?

The J2ME/MIDP platform also had runtime permissions; for example, when I used Opera Mini on my Nokia S60, it would ask for permissions to write to the Downloads directory.

The MIDP security system probably had its flaws, but it seems weird that Android simply ignored it and went with an exclusive ask-on-install model.
This is a fun story I like to tell about Diablo.

In Paris, 2008, there was the "Worldwide Invitational", a Blizzard convention much like BlizzCon but much smaller scale (About ~7k people in total went).

Many rumors were going around about the announcement of a new game. Even more rumors about "Diablo III", which had been said to be in the works for almost a decade. After the opening ceremony, Mike Morhaime gave his usual speech and started dropping hints, gave a long lead up to "Blizzard's newest game".

And without saying any name, a musician came on stage and started doing the Tristram riff. Everybody immediately understands what's going on. The lights go red. Everybody yelling and clapping - unbelievable excitement.

Cinematic starts. Chills. Still no name for that "new game". The cinematic starts cutting faster and faster, hinting more and more at Diablo until we see Diablo himself in a cut. And then... three fiery claws across the screen lead into the name: "Diablo III".

There's no way I can do that story justice, but this was one of the most incredible announcement Blizzard has done - and since WWI doesn't get as much coverage as BlizzCon, not many people got to hear about it. Here's two videos:

Obama's administration is rightfully getting increased scrutiny over FOIA...the day after his inaugural address, he made a very clear statement that FOIA "should be administered with a clear presumption: In the face of doubt, openness prevails." [0] (ProPublica recently published a new retrospective here [0a]) In terms of being data-oriented, Obama's administration has been very forward thinking, IMO...it's one thing to release White House visitor logs under threat of lawsuit, it's another to go the extra mile and throw it on a data portal where it can be easily searched and downloaded as bulk data, along with other data such as staff salaries [1]. You could argue that that's just the way things would be for any administration due to the advent of the Web...but only if you didn't look at how the Senate distributes their required disclosures.

But being more open-minded to releasing machine-readable data and responding to FOIAs are a different thing...just as Obama can make an argument that he's been very pro-civil-liberties, and yet his administration has prosecuted more federal whistleblowers than all other administrations combined [3].

Maybe I missed it...but it seems like the AP goes out of its way to avoid any use of percentages for comparison between administrations...Maybe this was not tracked in the same way during the Bush administration? That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Obama led in both raw numbers and percentages of denials. Though it's still difficult to know how apples to apples that is.

I had to Google around quite a bit to find any reference to Bush numbers...here's an old AP article I found linked to from an old Slashdot thread [4]:

> - In all, the agencies reviewed by the AP reported getting 444,924 FOIA requests in fiscal 2009, compared with 493,610 in fiscal 2008. Besides those cases, they started each year with FOIA requests pending: 145,162 as the 2009 budget year began last October; 156,611 as the 2008 fiscal period started.

> - The agencies processed 501,158 FOIA requests in the 2009 period, compared with 504,110 the previous year.

> Much of the Obama administration’s early effort on FOIA seems to have been aimed at clearing out the backlog of old cases: The number of requests still sitting around past the time limits spelled out in the open-records law fell from 124,019 in budget year 2008 to 67,764 at the end of the most recent budget year over the 17 agencies, the AP’s review found

> - The agencies reviewed provided everything sought in FOIA requests in at least 162,205 cases last fiscal year, compared with 196,776 the previous year.

> - They denied FOIA requests in their entirety based on exemptions 20,005 times last fiscal year, compared with 21,057 times the previous year.

I was very interested to see that the team they pitched included only 11 people, including designers and illustrators. Only three programmers ('One chief programmer and two junior programmers').

Am I correct in thinking that a team this size would be considered closer to an indy game in 2016? I am not a game developer but this seems like a very stark comparison to the current landscape / size of software teams (not just limited to games).
>The researchers found another interesting effect — a "trickle up" flow of wealth quite different from the usual "trickle down" picture of supply-side economics. In an economy with appreciable inequality, capital tends to flow from those with less to those with more, generating a cascade of transactions along the way. Hence, policy interventions aiming to spur economic activity should work better if they inject money into the system at the lower end, rather than from the top.

Does this mean that the paper supports basic income? I don't know much about these topics but I see basic income pop up in conversation on HN every now and then, so it came to mind when I read this.

An exokernel is definitely not a microkernel, one provides abstraction via (usually) processes 'servers' the other one does via a library which is vastly cheaper overhead wise. I do understand that there will be a need for some sort of IPC just not to the extent of a microkernel.
The government at all levels is terrified of allowing employees to talk to anyone outside of their agency.

If you look at news reports at the federal, state, local levels of government from 1990 to today, you'll see that quotes that would come from a local official in command in 1990 are now issued from a PR flack at HQ. I witnessed one example first hand where a school principal, terrified of being quoted about a book sale, frantically directed a person who turned out to be a reporter to the school district public affairs officer.

FOIA is similar -- these searches used to be distributed but in many cases are now all conducted by counsel at HQ, and they limit the scope of their search to the official repositories that may or may not be relevant.

If you want actual information from a FOIA process, focus your search on email, which is usually centralized, and jump off on addition requests from there.

Pascal is a complete nightmare to start people off with if they are going to move on to a language like JavaScript, Python, Ruby, C# or Java.

It's superficially similar but it has all kinds of archaic quirks and lacks basic affordances like return values or short-circuiting (i.e. in order to evaluate `a AND b` Pascal evaluates both).

You might as well argue that beginners should start with Assembly. If you want to be unnecessarily cruel at least teach them something useful like C/C++.

If you ban Jason you are missing one of the most founder friendly investors out there. We were a part of Jason's latest incubator class and I have a close friend going through YC right now. Our experience with Jason was amazing and the access to top tier investors in a small setting with only 6 other companies on a weekly basis was an experience that can't easily be replicated. It definitely accelerated our business and once Jason is an investor he is on your side and will work tirelessly to give you the best opportunity possible to succeed.

Condor became "Blizzard North" after Blizzard acquired them. They were put in charge of the Diablo series, after Blizzard made a lot of adjustments to it (including the move from turn-based, which we see in this draft, to ARPG).

They were shut down after they failed to produce any progress on Diablo III for years (like I said in another post, Diablo III had been expected for almost a decade before its announcement).

I wouldn't have phrased it that way.

I have removed my fair share of malware from other peoples machines though and I have yet to observe that Firefox extensions has been the attack vector a single time.

For that reason I do find it puzzling that they want to irrevocably destroy their single biggest advantage (in my and many other vocal supporters eyes): real, USEFUL extensions. (Even Lastpass has to add an extra binary to my OS to fully work under Chrome IIRC.)

Also while I should mostly not say much about design I do find it odd that so many projects attempt to look Mac OSX and I think it is the same frustration some people have with Firefox starting to look like Chrome: not everything the big boys do is necessarily better.
If you believe this is about one 'side' vs. another, I'm not sure what we gain by having a dialogue, honestly. I'm not coming from 'a side'. I'm not battling some ideological conflict. I'm just reflecting on a reality that I and many others like me experience. Honestly, I am a pragmatist - I am not interested in an ideology or 'side' winning an intellectual battle. Maybe I was in my teens and 20s. But now, it doesn't matter what it is that works, as long as it works. I would simply like to see a system and set of policies and laws that work for most people. That has not happened in the last 40+ years, so we need a new way. I'm open to anyone's ideas, including yours. It's a collaboration, not a conflict.
