Why make things when you can borrow money for nothing and move paper around for profit.
Reflected on your comment and though had been my intent, it might not be obvious - that being, unless I'm missing something, it is not possible to downvote a submission; which in this case, I would have. To be even more clear, my comment expressed what I'm unable to due via the existing interface.

I didn't plan to be disruptive, but I don't mind it either.

I'll assume the "missing" downvote button is by design and will refrain from using comments as "expressive" downvotes.

From the "L Programming Language" PDF:

“It’s like perl without the nastiest bits.”

I think that really does capture the spirit of what this language looks like. I'm not sure it will reach any kind of general applicability, but it seems like a tasteful nod to the extensible nature of Tcl either way. Curious to see the inclusion of PCRE over Tcl's ARE which I thought was pretty routinely trotted out as a better performing, more limited, RE engine.

Unix was the first-mover, and should have first-mover advantage over other implementations and clones... Like Linux. Oh wait... but Debian is one of the first Linux distributions, there's no way it'd be displaced by an upstart like Ubuntu. Oh wait...

Yahoo and Altavisa were first-movers in search engines. Google was developed years later, they have no chance. Wait a sec...

Geocities, Homestead, and Xanga and MySpace were first-movers in web user-generated content and social networking. Facebook has no chance. Wait a sec...

Intershop has first-mover advantage in online retailing. There's no chance that Ebay and Amazon will beat them out. Wait a sec...

Pebble Watch has first-mover advantage in Smartwatches. There's no way anyone else can move them.

Commodore C64 has first-mover advantage in the consumer personal computer market. Ehhh... scratch that. The true first mover was IBM, who branded the PC and created the ATX system and all of those standards. There's no way that IBM will lose their first-mover advantage to Dell and HP.

Huh... Atari for first-mover in TV Video Game consoles? Nintendo can't beat them. Erm... I mean Sega can't beat Nintendo. I mean... Sony can't beat the Saturn or N64. I mean... Microsoft's XBox is entering an established field, they can't beat the PS2 or Gamecube.
Thanks for sharing and providing that wonderful insight !

I agree with all your points - the last time I though about Intel as a brand was in 2002 while wanting to build my own PC ( a very small market of geeks at that )

What particular thing would you say that makes it difficult for them to built good software as compared to amazon ? Intel seems to have a bottomless pit when it comes to money.

thanks again !
Given the growth in trends such as ARM for mobile devices and dynamic resource allocation on the cloud, I still don't think you can make that broad a statement.
We don't have anything like a "transparent firewall", either.
> things you buy became too expensive or too cheap.

> if the currency remains stable

> you could still buy the same amount of most things in other countries not affected by the war

Sure I can, sure, but whether or not the currency remains stable is the very question, not a hypothesis. This is circular reasoning. If most things are still sold in exchange for the currency in question, then that currency is still only as stable as the economy that is selling most of the things, by your own definition of an economy of most things.

I'm just saying you have a dysfunctional definition.
The writing is on the wall. If your threat model includes government agencies, it is only prudent to assume that all commercial providers of encrypted communications are or will soon be compromised, and conduct operations as such.

I volunteer on Sundays at the Boston Museum of Science, and lead an activity showing kids how to make circuits out of Play-Doh (yup, regular Play-Doh -- it conducts electricity!), 9 volt batteries, LEDs, motors, and a few other odds and ends.

You'd be shocked at how many kids -- mostly boys in the 8-13 range -- show up at the activity, full of confidence, the parents are telling me how their genius child is constantly doing Arduinos/Rasberry pis/Little Bits/electrical engineering flavor-of-the-month toy at home, the kids are like "Oh, I already know how to do this!" I hand them they equipment, and they promptly take all the leads for the LED and the battery and jam them into the single ball of Play-Doh expecting it to do something.

Well, it does do something -- it short-circuits my battery is what it does!

Microcontrollers and simple circuits are just so different, the skills are different, the mindset is different, and people tend to react to them differently.

Once the kids, or adults, do finally get the LED to light up, they're often just completely blown away, in a way that you or I might find a little silly. Parents are constantly taking pictures, filming their kids doing this for, like, 10 minutes, just shocked (not literally!) and amazed that they're actually controlling electricity. It feels a little primal/fundamental and magical. Like you're interacting directly with some previously-mysterious force of nature, whereas some of the other electrical engineering tools feel more like "appliances," which people use every day.

I've seen thousands of reactions to people playing with the programmable robots, and Little Bits, Makey Makey (which also teaches circuits, but there's a lot of other "stuff" going on), Lego Mindstorms, but I have to say that those things never get quite the immediate and primal reaction that Play-Doh, LEDs, and 9 volt batteries get. They're just such different things.
That is the bet that I placed some time ago, that in about 3 years, I predict Apple switching to ARM. I believe the work on that is already happening in secret.

As demonstrated by things like iPad Pro, ARM is already more than capable for the things 90% of users are going to do. Realistically Apple would be best of with an intel based Mac Pro, but Apple likes to keep things simple, so I think they will just beef it up with loads of ARM chips clocked as high as possible with plenty of cooling or something.
I would also recommend sleeping for the sleep deprived (I don't even meditate), but I just wanted a clarification on the idea that GGP couldn't find 15 minutes in a day to do something.
Healthcare as a sector is doing pretty well. Consolidation down to 3 major players will likely increase their margins further.
Is Manual QA a Poor Use of Time?
That's a legit question. If you'll design software specifically to help China persecute a religion, it's hard to imagine pushing back too hard on a lawful request from your own government.
First, they built special hardware to target a specific group that is internationally known to be a frequent target of oppression. So that's going beyond what they normally provide.

Second, if you're selling something to a known person, and you have a good reason to know what they're going to do with it. And let's be clear, Cisco totally knew what they were going to be used for in this case. Then you're an accessory.
More computers are being sold than ever before. The market is absolutely saturated with computing devices. And aside from the intense competition Intel is facing, they're suffering the same issue that the GPU makers face -- I once upgraded yearly because the gains made it worthwhile. Now I upgrade pretty much only when something fails.

It is absolutely picking a narrative.

Yeah, but I don't have the use for 8VMs. Give me notice and I will try to use it up. But don't give me a month, I can't effectively use that in time. I can waste it, sure. But that's not the point of the credit in the first place.
> edibles take anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes to kick in

For me it's generally 120 minutes for the effects to start, then another 60 or so before the peak.

> THC is not water-soluble, so you need a hydrocarbon solvent (usually butane) to extract it and dilute it into enough of a liquid that it won't separate

While it does seem to be very fashionable in the US just now - you don't have to vape concentrates. There are lots of 'dry herb' vaporisers that are capable of vaping weed and hash.

A good alternative to edible is a cannabis tincture which is used sublingually. The onset is rapid, and so it's much easier to dose.
I happen to use Go and a Makefile to build my servers, and my deployment process works on osx and linux, so I end up not having to have to replicate an environment for development.

> Cisco’s marketing materials in China repeatedly boasted that Cisco’s technology solutions could guard against Falun Gong, block and track Falun Gong, monitor and profile Falun Gong, and in other ways persecute Falun Gong.

Note that none of the things you list include torture. You've shown nothing more than a tangential possibility of awareness. Without showing their direct knowledge of the torture and a direct link to requests from Cisco, you've proven nothing.

In fact, if anything you've shown they really went the extra mile to look into it. That's way more work than I would have done at least . the reality is that looking into something like this makes it more likely you'll get screwed over if it comes up legally later.

What do you think about manufacturers of end to end encryption tech? Certainly there's evidence that it can be used for bad things too. I worry that cases like this, if successful, could be used against Signal or similar next.

I suppose you could interpret these as not necessarily saying "there is no such thing as climate change", if you wanted to be denser than a neutron star.
You also have a large increase in corporate debt, some of which, maybe a lot, has gone into stock buybacks. It's a way of translating ZIRP into stock price while nothing was created.

The world is a lot bigger than the view around startups. They are great and all, but the audience of this site has grown a lot and includes a large number of corporate IT people now.

Weren't there several AWS stories on the front page anyway today? Has "cloud provider" become as tribal as "phone manufacturer" or "os vendor/not-vendor"? That whole part of technology culture is just wearing me out. Research shows that some things in tech trip the same emotional centers in the brain as religion. It just makes me tired. Even if MS was directly paying for stuff like this, wouldn't that be in-line with PG's libertarian whatchamacallit?
Oh man, they're even better than AMD at laying off people.
'Obfuscation' might be taking it a bit far, but demonstrating a CSS feature in anything other than vanilla CSS is, in my opinion, a really poor choice.

>There are too many layers at Intel, and that leaves too many of those layers too well insulated, able to believe it was the brand that won them their markets (not the economics: Wintel monopoly in personal computing history, having the best server and laptop parts currently), and that despite the economics of new products and "solutions", the brand will somehow convince people to buy in.

Well, as a gamer, intel (and nvidia) are just the best.

I had AMD Athlon and it was an amazing processor. The modern ones just do not compare to Intel ones.
AMD also pulled riddiculous shit when they stopped releasing drivers for linux on 2 or 3 years old GPU's - therefore they can go fuck themselves.

Ive got 4790K and it is just great, runs cool (just a decent upsized aftermarket radiator for ~30$ - no water!), doesn't abuse my fans, will probably last me 5 or 6 years performance wise

For a bulk buyer of crappy throwaway corporate laptops, the AMD might have some appeal...

Startup valuations are mostly a stab in the dark by whoever invested last multiplied by the terms set out by all the people who invested before. There is nothing concrete about Uber's valuation. They're doing some amazing business and building a valuable company, but how valuable exactly is dictated by an exit, not a funding round.
More affordable than free? Not sure I get this. Is CI really so hard that we need to pay someone else to do this? I have a perfectly good server doing nothing and I installed TeamCity on that. Works great and is essentially free.

I recently started working on a little eCommerce project. I found a way to indirectly estimate the sales of some of my competitors products. So I downloaded about 13gb of this data, processed it down into about 80 million rows and than ran a bunch of stats on it. Now 80 million rows is not "big data" scale, but it's not super small either. With my 16gb of memory (that I paid I think $400 for), my humble quad core i7 that i paid $300 for, and my 500 GB SSD. that I paid $100 for, My less than $1k desktop crunched through this dataset with no effort at all. I consider myself a "power" user, and my humble machine can do everything I can throw at it, and more. It'll be a long time before I upgrade again, and when I do, i'll probably buy the cheapest processor on the market. I'm probably not alone here.
Ireland's Census API
Why Political Coverage Is Broken (2011)
You already made the case for it. In a couple of years, intel performance will simply not matter to 90% of users. They will care more about battery life, size, screen quality, weight, thinness, quality of build materials, speed of SSD disk etc.

But the big difference between POWER->86 is that Apple now has majority of their products on a different architecture. Apple is a company that likes simplicity. They are going to want to have everything on one hardware architecture. As laptops get thinner they will basically be able to use identical hardware in iPads and laptops. It will just be different hardware exterior and OS.
The slowness is implementation.

It's not slow outside the US, where it's been in use for a long time.

In the US, it depends on the POS. At Walgreens it's basically instant, whereas at Target it takes like 8-10 seconds. It's just poor implementation.
They aren't especially extraordinary claims.

Goldman's stock price is approximately 25% off it's 12 month high. [0] Morgan Stanley is approximately 35% off. [1] Seems like the market is properly taking in their bad news. Some parts of the market do fine, others get hit. And yes, some might be over-valued. When interest rates are low, the future cash flows of companies are discounted back at a lower rate. So if all things are equal (which they never really are, but humor me) low rates imply higher prices for both equities and bonds, and especially startups whose cash flows are mostly in the future.

Maybe they actually decided to start responding to the whining and demanding of developers on sites like HN because, you know, they exist to sell shit to users and developers? Maybe they are trying to give you guys exactly what you want in the way of services and products because your way won?

Or you could be a dick about it.
Yes, but most of those "computers" (that people do keep buying) happen to be smartphones these days.
Intel's IT department is so big it was for me to believe it. On the other hand I am pretty amazed that they were so serious about keeping internal application communication encrypted end to end, in every layer.

> I didn't get this March 2015 email or any reminders since

I checked my emails as well when I got that. There was no notification in March or since of that change.
I have a (perhaps) more incendiary take on this kind of thing. I have no problem with promo codes for new customers. Zero. None. As a business owner, I know damn well there are some products or services that need a little "taster" offered to a potential customer to get them even modestly interested.

Existing paying customers? Why would you spend money to acquire customers that you've already acquired. You had your reasons for signing up for DO, and apparently, the lack of a $10 credit wasn't one of them. And we all know this is a flimsy firewall to breech anyway - a different e-mail address that - if you're really feeling saucy - you could have delivered to an SMTP daemon on your existing droplet.

Promotions are by definition a form of publicity or advertisement, and if you're already a customer, you're already a customer, know what I mean? Why advertise "hey, check us out" if you've already checked them out and signed on the dotted line.

If you feel really, really, really burned by this, do what other cost-conscious consumers do, and whenever you see a box "promo code" on a signup form, Google "example.com promo code" (substituting the actual domain name, obviously) and see what you can find.

I do not understand, even a little bit, the amount of outrage over the fact that you want a company to spend advertising money (that's what a promotion is budgeted to) to advertise to an existing customer. Not unless you feel that DO isn't worth it already, that is, and in that case, what the hell is $10 going to do to change your mind?
The real problem is banking sites that say, "Your password must be less than 12 characters and must not include symbols."
No. Computer sales are at historic lows. We've reached the confluence of computers being "good enough" (there are no longer much performance gains from buying new computers) and more and more consumer computing moving to tablets/phones.
Intel is in a very cyclical industry. They over hire when the economy is doing very well, and they cut when things are not. I got a pink slip from Intel back in 2001 just after I graduated college when the dotcom bust happened.
Isn't this typical of the "Fake it until you have product/market fit, then automate" ethos?
Actually, it IS more than that, because it fits the current models better, and the current models have remarkable predictive power.

Whereas "the sun and the planets all orbit the earth" has astonishingly little predictive power.
If you would like to talk about the FCPA, I never mentioned my objection.

The objection is that it undermines competitiveness in corrupt business environments. Business environments that are inherently corrupt whether the US entity participates or not. Kickbacks are a way of doing business in many jurisdictions, and then the US government levies a charge against you that is solved with: YOU GUESSED IT, ANOTHER KICKBACK. But its okay because the SEC and DOJ call it a settlement.

A totally unnecessary law that is enforced at the discretion of the administration.

Saying that the earth orbits the sun is actually a bit more than just a choice in reference frame. When you have two bodies (or more, although it gets more complicated) orbiting where one is significantly larger you can end up with a center of mass of the two objects (barycenter) which will be inside of the larger object. So from either reference frame the barycenter can determine that the smaller object is orbiting larger object.

So while it's true that you can work the equation from either reference frame defining each as orbiting the other, the center of mass will more than likely lie in or closer to one or the other, and with that you can define which is orbiting the other canonically.
Ask HN: API Key vs. OAUTH, which to choose?
Hello everyone,
I am developping some APIs for my PhD Defense, and I'd like to implement some kind of authentication.

I don't consider username/password to be a good pratice for my use case. However, I need to choose between setting up an API Key Manager or an OAUTH Provider (I don't want to use any existing), mainly because I want to learn how to do it ;)

So, here is my quick question : OAUTH seems way more complicated than a "simple" API Key, you have the consummer token & secret && Oauth token & secret.
Except when you want to use another authentication service (Google, Facebook, ...) why using OAUTH, seems complicated as hell for nothing ...

Thanks a lot,

Regards
