I mean, if a program for coding education doesn't think having people own and customize their sites is worth it, then who?

The nurses might like it but management might not. Long shifts would likely, as the article points out, result in more sick time. Then you are paying for the staff's sick time and also overtime for the person that is covering. In addition, long 12-16 shifts likely result in higher work place accidents and workers compensation claims.

A very complex situation obviously.
No one should be paying registration fees. Registration is incredibly cheap in the day of computers, and their costs are not justified. They're also regressive, and hurt the small guys most.

Laws should encourage free market competition, not diminish it. So in that vain, a registration fee needs to be removed or otherwise paid for through tax revenue.

There are already enough reasons starting a business is hard, we don't need to add more.
no one is a fan. Not even the people who need to use bitcoin. If you feel strongly about it, advocate for the reduction of KYC and AML constraints in the incumbent value routing systems.

No, I'm not sad about that. It's not my "fight".

I was mainly referring to the xenophobia expressed in the lead-up to the official campaign. It seemed to be mostly directed at Eastern Europeans, but the UK isn't exactly doing a stellar job accepting Syrian refugees either (what's the latest figure? 20,000 refugees over a five year period? That's the same figure that The Netherlands accepted just last year. Sweden admitted 4x that figure in 2015).

But the overall repressive stance towards software/technology, or the authoritarian stand-off between the MoH and NHS doctors doesn't help to raise my opinion of the UK either.
Don't most ad blockers also block third party trackers? I know uBlock Origin blocks Google Analytics for example.

I don't know Alexa's fallback/tracking methods, but couldn't these be an indicator of adoption rate of ad blockers, as these charts are not precisely an indicator of traffic, but specifically a measure of trackable traffic.
They are having it outside at Shoreline? oh boy.
Or more to the point, if you are overseen by congress, which is in the pocket of these big banks, then regulatory action can be dangerous to your career.

"Get big government out of my business!"
"These regulations are killing my business!"
"People are going to go overseas and do the same thing!"

It's not just congressmen too. Even the public can be turned against the regulators with a steady drip of anti-regulation rhetoric from the newsmedia.

To be fair to your parent, the feature is already deployed in popular drones (both dji and 3dr).

It's hard to see a market for something already built in for free (airspace restrictions) and anyone familiar with current drones would know this.
Minimum specs. But what about when we want 8K-per-eye VR? It will always be possible to get better performance out of a bigger machine. Small form factor is great, but I wouldn't sacrifice quality for a smaller box when it's just going to sit in the corner anyway.
Extend this logic to other intellectual properties, and explore the consequences.

PC-Company-A signs no license with Microsoft. An employee of theirs finds a copy of Microsoft Windows laying on the ground.

Having no agreement with MSFT, and having discovered Windows "on the wind", as it were, they start to install it on their PCs.

Is it Microsoft's business? PC-Company-A has no license with them, why should it matter?

I've read the Netflix document many times. To be fair, I don't have any special knowledge about working at Netflix to suggest that Netflix doesn't actually empower specialists. I am curious if Netflix avoids Agile/Scrum or offers real private working conditions though, and if not, why not? Answers focused on "collaboration" would count as evidence that, contrary to the slide deck, you aren't actually "hiring smart people and getting out of their way."
Lmao that's original.
It indeed is a painful image to look at, I don't know why some articles start out like this, I'm not particularly fond of this style for articles I'm trying to read. Not sure when this became a thing, some articles do it right, but if it's done in every single article it doesn't always work out, it's like a place holder wasting my screens real estate.
As the parent has said, please focus on high-level principles and avoid going deep into the current state of the art.

Ask HN: App development in $130, what do you think?
Hi HackerNews we have created a team of developers to build IOS, Android apps for just $130 (http://www.xrowlabs.com). We work with very low margins. Our goal is to deliver 10 to 15 apps per month per developer. Here in Mumbai with this count we can make marginal profits. What do you guys think of this service.

Interesting. Hmm maybe we should look into centrally planning other industries too.
While I am all for a substantial fine I will be very disappointed if the fine exceeds that given GM for their ignition key recall.

You should be disappointed if the fine is unjust, GM not withstanding. That's not to say that I don't agree that the GM case was egregious, but let's agree that someone screwed up/had palms greased/plain didn't do their job, and leave GM out of the decision on what to do with VW. Because if we agree that the GM case was handled poorly, then we shouldn't use it as a basis for further cases. Last serial murder got off, so I'll be disappointed if this guy who hacked up ten people gets life?

Set their symbolic heads upon pikes, let them stand as an example to others that may follow. Whether that's a hefty fine, or a buy-back, I don't really know.
Good catch, I blew right by that detail on my first read.
With us, it fails. With state attorneys general, it's another pound of flesh.
That's not what that person did, and you know that, because you were on the thread where this was picked apart.

The person who had problems with Facebook didn't "pivot laterally".

He popped a shell, dumped and banked directories from the server, held them secretly, and used their contents more than a month after reporting the bug to Facebook as a cudgel in a dispute over a bounty.
Kind of off-topic -- but I still remember laughing when I read about how the oil industry was using "IP over mud" between the drill tip and a receiver. Apparently, the temperatures won't allow typical electronics to survive in the environments where a drill tip operates. So they used the drill tip itself to vibrate the mud around the drill. I don't know if they still use anything like that.
Can the employee install Windows without accepting a Microsoft EULA? I don't think the case is identical.
No, and not having this may be a benefit for using other competitors like Lyft or the public transit system.

> Valve is in no way involved in betting.

Valve makes money when people buy or sell skins, which in this case is akin to buying or cashing in one's poker chips. There's also no way that Valve doesn't know that this is going on. While they're not involved in the strictest sense, they continue to allow this gambling to happen (by not policing their API) and make money by doing so.
If airports/pilots are really that paranoid perhaps they should install sensor system (low range radar?) to capture particular drones (and birds).

For drones, they have systems now that they can deploy to take them down immediately. http://www.skysafe.io/

Video broadcasts of humans being human conveys a lot more information than a written language they don't understand (they may not even have the concept of a written language) and don't have any reference points to.

Find out if your app idea is feasible and connect with developers
Generally we have cubes (as far as working space goes). It's up to the teams if they want Agile/Scrum (most don't, a few find it useful, folks are encouraged to experiment).

Collaboration, in contrast to many other valley companies, isn't a big priority. Since we only hire senior (Finder) devs, each is capable of taking on one or more projects almost solo. So where you'd have an ~8 person team at Google, Netflix has a single developer. There are pros & cons to this approach, I might talk about them in a future article. The practical upshot is that everyone does what they think is best for their particular project (others are encouraged to provide feedback but the ultimate decision is left up to the project owner [who is not a manager]).

Does that help?
Is the entire event going to be outside? Or are they going to use a tent in the vast parking lot space like they do for festivals?
I'm an owner, and while the info is not complete yet, I like where its heading. Honestly, I just want a different car, and not to be punished financially for their behavior. I'll take a buyout and if there's cash above the BB value, I'll be happier still.

Implied in his comment is that what little force actually deployed to Western Europe would have been dramatically outnumbered from the very start. In some categories the ratio was higher than 10:1.

Back in the 90s (IIRC) someone wrote a kernel module for linux that provided the equivalent of a GUI "trash can/recycling bin" but at the filesystem level, where a specific directory (folder for you young 'uns) was set aside for the deleted files. Because it was a kernel module (filesystem driver) it was transparent to applications, including the shell.

I believe that bigger_cheese is lamenting his or her inability to do numerical sanity checking in other units. (This loss of numerical information is, perhaps, what you meant by saying that the unit-agnostic approach is 'more lax'.)

For example, if I am looking for a force and I get an answer of 1000 lbs, then dimensional analysis tells me that at least I got a force; but, if my intuition tells me only that the actual force is on the order of magnitude of 1000 N, then I don't know whether my actual answer is way too big, way too small, or about right, unless I know how to convert between Newtons and pounds.

Incidentally, while "units of 1" make correct calculations easy, I think that they are a bad idea precisely because they subvert unit checking; it's hard to know just by looking that 1 + 1 is 1 speed of light + 1 light-year, and hence dimensionally inconsistent.

(Even keeping all SI units can miss some important distinctions; for example, nothing about their SI units (inverse time) allows us to distinguish angular frequency (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_frequency) from temporal frequency (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency), and yet much woe accrues to he or she who does not distinguish radians/time from cycles/time!)

UMassTTS: “Intro to Machine Learning” by Cassidy Williams, Clarifai
The initial idea came from thinking about live contextual search and community. This thinking intersected with programming because of my background, and once that happened there was a lot of iteration—informed by research, and mostly conversations with friends—to get where we are today.

With Fahrenheit perhaps the worst of the worst (scum de la scum?), because at least you have an intuitive idea of the meaning of 0 PSI and 0 BTU.
I wonder what the legal implications are for valve here, vs the third parties that are facilitating the gambling. Surely the companies taking bets are also taking a rake (how else would you pay for your infrastructure/support overhead) and this is illegal in most of the US. Does Valve, by indirectly profiting from the wagering exchange actually bear some (legal) responsibility?

I think an OOPish DSL as a shell is pretty wrong[0], to be honest. Most of the time in UNIX what you're doing is chaining commands or automating. So perhaps what's needed is a DSL with a more functional, stream-based approach. Something along the lines of:

A danger is that stranger will abuse your connection to send spam or even worse things. And you might have a visit from police. Also, I'm sure, reselling your home connection is forbidden by your provider. So it's kind of grey zone.

I read yesterday, caveat: while most news was still rumored, that VW would not be permitted to resell the vehicles.
Every hour 25 bitcoins are mined, at a current value of $450, that's $11250. So if the total power expenditure of bitcoin hashing is 600MW, it would have to cost less than $11250/600 = $18.75/MWH for electricity to not mine at a loss, which is insanely cheap.

Therefore the hashing chips must be considerably more efficient than the latest commercially available products. I think the major players get hashing chips manufactured at scale on smaller nodes for significant power savings.
Yes, you are right. Sorry. Alas, I can't edit my original message any more.

Fair point. I am more into beer, so waste isn't as much of an issue (unless it's a bomber of really high ABV stuff, in which case I just wait for the weekend and/or when I am with someone to share). But I have found the TJ's boxed stuff to be pretty good and it successfully fills the 'glass of wine with dinner' need for me. I'd say stick with Whiskey!
I had the top comment on the original post and was critical of Kite's approach. I still think that Jetbrains has proven that you can be very effective locally without consuming your entire machine, because the needs of one project do not require making sense of all Python libraries. You only need to make sense of the fairly small subset of libraries that a given project actually uses.

That said, I think this response is terrific. The value proposition was outlined well. Feedback loops are important and cloud services naturally have much tighter loops. Security considerations are no different than they are for GitHub, so those will not be insurmountable for many.

So, neat looking product and very nice response to initial feedback!
It doesn't look like they're really talking about anything new this year. A little bit about android auto but as far as I can tell, that's it.
"Supposed to respond to?" Yes, by driving. The alerts take the form of "Traffic ahead". "Police ahead", etc. There is no interaction required, or even expected unless you really want to poke the thumbs up "yes, this alert is still valid" button.

I haven't had good luck with style of GPS module on my models, even a <100 mW 5.8 GHz FPV transmitter tends to swamp the GPS signal to the point where getting a lock is impossible.

They're also prohibitively heavy on smaller models. A 10% increase in mass (for a 300g quadrotor) can shave an entire minute off of your run time.
Seriously had exactly the same thought. Why do they need vintage ventilators for old machines when new ones would do as well?

Development kits are expensive due to low sales volume, no cost optimization, and buyers' price insensitivity. There is a huge amount of value in having a known good implementation on hand when designing hardware or firmware. Additionally, having the development kit means your firmware team can start developing before your hardware arrives.

If you have a good relationship with them, sales reps will often give or lend development kits.
