If you're referring to the Airbus example, the NSA exposing Airbus's crimes which benefited a U.S. competitor, I'm okay with that. There's a big difference between exposing crimes, even if only selectively, and sharing non-criminal information. The claims about the CIA spying on Japanese government officials and car manufacturers to benefit the U.S. in trade deals is very different, and wrong.

You could have a look at CPack: https://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Packaging_With_CPack
It was created to be used with the C++ build system CMake, but can be used without it too. I use it to automatically build debian packages from Jenkins, but it also supports tarballs, RPMs, NSIS (Windows), PackageMaker (OS X), and cygwin packages. Hope this helps a bit!

The unique feature of the MagSafe is not the magnetic attachment, but rather the microcontroller inside the power brick: It outputs a low-amp 5V until a connection has been verified, only then will a full connection be established and the potentially harmful full power delivered.

You can duplicate the magnetic attachment for a few dollars, but not the feature that makes it safe to use. (Which is also one of the problems of third-party magsafe power supplies.)
Match making is a very interesting topic, I had a go at a very simple algo few years ago: https://github.com/kfk/scripts/blob/master/match-date.py

The output is clear: even random matching has a higher score than all girls (or boys) liking the same boys (or girls).

This is, indeed, a serious problem if you take that people nowadays have access to:
1. An enormous pool of potential partners
2. A lot more information

The .2 is particularly worrisome. It is clear that too much information early in the interaction can actually bring to suboptimal equilibrium. The thing is, when you know everything about somebody you tend to act on your most superficial preferences, getting to know gives you access to a much deeper connection (and a much better choice).

You didn't touch a nerve, I'm just being snarky because it's the internet and if I don't the internet police will arrest me.

"code complexity means you can't get away with it" seems very common. Five nested `.copy` calls is probably "too much". Lenses, in most of the incantations I've seen so far, are probably "too much". I'd love to see your solution for making

a.copy(b = a.b.copy(c = a.b.c.copy(d = a.b.c.d.copy(e = 1))))

As easy as

a.b.c.d.e = 1

Closest I've seen is QuickLens, which is promising. Still pretty new and experimental, but definitely something I could see myself using:

modify(a)(_.b.c.d.e).setTo(1)

Still slightly clunky, but less clunky than the other implementations I've seen e.g. in Monocle
Yes (not sure if there are existing products), because they work based on the difference of currents leaving and returning. (between 48V and 110V there isn't an insurmountable difference in detection capability needed)

Theoretically you should have zero leakage, and you should also trip on bigger currents (but a rack wouldn't use more than 10A maybe?)

True in some senses, but take 'Interstellar' for instance. I would personally categorize it as hard science pushing the fringe into fantasy/speculation. 'The Martian' I would consider more hard science fiction overlooking some technical issues for dramatic effect. In any case, I enjoy SF that is mainly in the realm of hard SF. I read John Cramer's 'Twistor' years ago, and although some have panned it for some stereotypes, I loved reading it at the time. I'll have to revisit it. Professor Cramer is a physics professor at Univ. of Washington in Seattle.
It wouldn't help in the mentioned cases, though - the money was received offshore in the first, it didn't "go" there.
> I find it too hard to restrict my code in lisps: if I want a certain part of my code to be in a DSL-like constrained sublanguage, there's no standardized way to express that, only ad-hoc macros.

There is a standardized way - via "ad-hoc" macros. Except they're not really more "ad-hoc" than using classes and traits in Scala is "ad-hoc".

Maybe 'aninhumer has a point - restricting the language is kind of the opposite goal of making it expressive/powerful.

The ECB sets interest rates to suit Germany because it is the economic monster in the EU. So if Germany needs low interest rates to stimulate the economy, the eurozone gets them even countries whose economies are in danger of overheating.
This is what happened to some degree in the early noughties.
Cheap loans in Europe both boosted German exports and contributed to the later recession in the countries worst affected.

And as for breaking the eurozone rules, well even Germany did that when it suited them.

I am not an expert on the Greek economy but I'd imagine that tourism makes up a lot of their 'exports'.
Otherwise I don't know. They are a relatively small country and so are unlikely have many indigenous multi-national brands that you or I would have heard of.
Apply HN: Brandvertisor – Transparency Advertising Marketplace
Brandvertisor is the first marketplace matching advertisers with specific publishers through detailed & complete profiles.

Basically the idea is to make sure advertiser gets traffic ONLY from publishers you selected - no arbitrage traffic , no unknown sources of traffic, no overpriced or under-quality traffic. Start with any budget & no technical skills needed.
We target US Display ads market: banners, native ads.

Also (and for that I need your feedback guys) idea is to build an alternative of current very few monetizing options for Publishers. Small, mid-size publishers do not have RTB networks access - so we give them opportunity to export their profile & host their own "Advertise Here" page. So they can accept direct advertisers & RTB synchronization - this is in the future when we have in-house ad network.. Please help us on this, as I haven't been publisher myself.

Here is sample clickable demo:

brandvertisor.com/ - search or browse by industry, filters etc

brandvertisor.com/startup-magazines.html - you get a list with top publishers per industry & filters on the right side to sort

brandvertisor.com/sample-publisher-profile.html - detailed & complete big data aggregated traffic statistics, ads placements, Q&A etc.

brandvertisor.com/images/success.png - then you get your ads placed :)

We are 2 co-founders:
Nedko - me - co-founder in ad network for the last 4 years, online serial entrepreneur with tens of failures and very few succeeds into paid traffic, local/seo, mailing, b2b, ad networks.
Petar - front end & node.js developer with 8+ years coding skills in php, node.js.

We are located in far away Bulgaria :) But I will relocate once we get this from the ground.

I just graduated Founder Instutite FI.co - had stressful 4 months, but I am satisfied & focused for next level:)

>This article is suggesting that these landlords are causing poverty

The landlords are causing poverty by increasing rents to the maximum level the market will bear, removing money from the system and - usually - moving it offshore.

Because slum property is so immensely profitable, there's no incentive whatsoever to invest the profits in anything riskier. So you end up with wasteful non-projects like this:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3490220/The-Ghost-Ho...

Meanwhile renters see their disposable income - in fact their economic freedoms - eroded until they can barely afford housing and food.

You now have a deflationary cycle where it becomes harder to find customers for new businesses, and harder to find investment because investors don't believe customers are easy to find.

Of course it's not just landlords. But generally economic cultures are designed to be favourable to either increasing or decreasing economic freedom for the low-paid. And if it's the latter, the predictable result is massive inequality and a deflationary uncontrolled descent into terrain which not only does the poor a lot of damage, but also eats away at the sustainable economic value of the assets of the rich.
People are underestimating the importance of smell in the equation.

I want a smell-based Tinder. Seriously, most of the girls I met online seemed to have incompatible pheromones.

Unfortunately, specifying smell is not possible, I suppose because of the huge gap in science w.r.t. the olfactory system. This is curious because from an evolutionary perspective smell is the sense that developed before the other senses.
The Mohists seem very appropriate to HN:

"The Mohists, egalitarian rationalists whose social base seems to have been urban artisans, not only were philosophically opposed to war and militarism, but organized battalions of military engineers who would actively discourage conflicts by volunteering to fight in any war against the side of the aggressor."

It's better to talk to people than about them: you know how that feels, right? These are people you work with, and will continue to work with, if you resolve the situation, so I think you should just call one of them on what they are saying. Talk one-on-one with frankness and humor and a willingness to forgive. If you approach it as adult-to-adult, they may not react like a stupid kid.
It's not awesome, it's poison. Cooperation > competition, and artificially forcing everything to be expressed in terms of the latter is cancerous to society. Ignoring conscience and empathy is wasting the in-born qualities that allow us to be more efficient in groups.
Probably because there is nothing "correct" about it, it is simply opinion (that shouldn't be downvoted either). Something is not "correct" because you agree with it.
Meanwhile using housing as much as an investment vehicle as housing (see London, SF, and numerous other cities) promotes the creation of shortages to drive up rents and capital gain.

You can't seriously be saying that the housing market is working as intended in places where pushing 70-80% of the wages cannot rent a basic apartment there.

The cost of those artificially inflated housing prices are paid for someewhere else in the system. As increased stress and illness, as migrant workers in illegal occupation, as companies unable to fill lower pay roles, as a lack of nurses, teachers and firefighters, as lack of opportunity for their children.

You don't have to adopt a socialist perspective to see it's broken right now.

Full and Partial Dentures and Their Care
Already the first paragraph annoys me to no end because it claims "What if the problem isn’t that poor people have bad morals – that they’re lazy and impulsive and irresponsible and have no family values – or that they lack the skills and smarts to fit in with our shiny 21st-century economy?", implicitly claiming that is the common way to think about the poor. That is just nonsense (yes you can surely find people who think that way, but not serious economists, journalists or policy makers). Didn't read on...

I'd say it's not that people don't want to date people that are far apart in attractiveness, but rather that everyone wants to date "up" or "across". And since if you go "up" the other goes "down", it tends to be "across".

Of course this assumes that attractiveness is objective, and purely physical. Which is false in both counts, but it's a simplification as we all know.
I guess it depends where you place "not very expensive", £100-200 will get you a good hifi preamp phono stage with MC/MM. You can pay far more if you want silly esoterica. It's not very far removed from the quality that would typically come "free" with a decent mid-market older preamp.

>I'm irritated by the loading screen and the enormous list of JavaScript pulled in.

Why, did you have to count the JavaScript scripts and/or volume? On a web browser JS loading is usually transparent, unless one opens the developer tools.

So, either the page was slow for you (a legitimate concern, but the same volume could be matched with 1-2 image assets, not particularly a JS issue), or there's absolutely no reason to care how many JS it loads -- especially given that it's a useful open source project to provide people with packages for Qt.

The simplicity of the interface is what feels novel to me.

It probably isn't an issue with a project like Chrome or Firefox to find someone able to understand all the intricacies of seccomp-bpf and implement it properly. And I am sure seccomp is a much more powerful solution.

But for a sole programmer or small team writing some micro-services or similar it seems unlikely they are going to bother. By comparison sending a string with some well chosen categories looks so ridiculously easy it lowers the barriers a lot.
>Qt isn't really C++-only anymore, at least with QML. Notwithstanding the use of JS for QML itself, there exist some bindings to QML in non-JS, non-C++ languages. So I guess there is demand for Qt (or at least some parts of it) in non-C++-worlds.

All of these worlds would be loading a ton of C++ QT base libs in any case.

> "or any other cloud storage provider"

I just wanted to point out that as long as you're not in full control of the server hosting Owncloud (and not connect your Owncloud to third party cloud spaces) you've to care about your own client-side crypto like on any other cloud provider (self hosted or not). So there's nothing special about Dropbox - but also not so much special in security terms about Owncloud.

Anyway I would still recommend using Owncloud over any other cloud storage provider if you're able to host it or know someone hosting it. But you should consider the security implications if you care.

Is it fairer to compare not the hovel of today against those of decades past, but the hovel of today to a satisfactory house today? The occupants of today's hovel are competing with the occupants of the decent home, not their ancestors.

If we hope that they might compete fairly to improve their lot, are they started well behind in a house with failing power, or heat or cold that keeps them awake or sick and so on?

Without a fairer playing field, they can fall further behind.

A satisfactory home that complies with regulations would ideally allow the occupant to get a decent sleep, prepare food healthily and present themselves appropriately for work.
that's the first I've heard of that scam - fascinating.

right now I've got a scammy bit of economic warfare that I wage against aggressive traders that's proven to be profitable and good at getting people off the market:

-Locate an item the target is trading in that has a 20-30% buy->sell order spread

-Have a large amount of the item that you want to use to disrupt the other trader - preferably you've bought this item via a buy order and liquidating it at 10% under market price still brings in profit

-Overcut the target's buy orders by 0.01 ISK. Go back and forth a few times, you're trying to establish a rhythym.

-Now start overcutting the target's buy orders by 5% of the buy->sell order spread

-The buy->sell order spread should start rapidly closing - it's absolutely stunning how rarely targets notice that their profit margin is shrinking as you overcut each other back and forth.

-Once you have the target's buy orders within 5% of the lowest sell order price, unload all of your stored good into his buy order.

--

This method produces multiple positive outcomes:

-Fast liquidation of an asset, sometimes in many multiples of daily moving volume

-Drives drives the price of the item down without having to babysit the orders yourself (the target will do it for you now that he's stuck with all of your item!)

-Discourages margin traders from doing business in certain markets
Thanks for the comment. Yes, It is targeted at indie filmmakers. However, i should add that its a curated site dedicated to bringing the best short films in African or made by Africans in terms of picture quality and story-line. This means that not all films submitted to hubrif gets accepted to be hosted on the platform. We are also looking at partnering with African film festivals all over the world too to host a curated selection of films for an online audience. The first of this partnership is with the maiden edition of Kampala Short Film Festival. the official hubrif channel of the festival will soon go live on the platform.

We want to sorely focus on African theme short films for now. I wont say its an African-focused YouTube thing, We want to solve the problem which YouTube cant solve in terms of making African short films easily discovered.

lastly, the adoption of video sharing sites in Africa is expanding rapidly and we believe this is the right time for hubrif to be born especially with the fact that short films in Africa are being taken seriously now.
