I'm 34, and was in a religious, conservative, school. They did one sex ed class (a single one hour, one off thing). In it they mentioned how condoms fail a majority of the time, that you could get pregnant from oral sex (that semen could leak from the digestive tract to reproductive), and that mutual masturbation could also cause pregnancy (as in a guy could ejaculate in just the right way).

It's like they went out of their way to spread misinformation.

They are also churning at a pretty insane rate due their release schedule. I did a very basic analysis of their repos at

http://gitsense.github.io/blog/motion-bubble-charts.html

And this is the churn for this month in their master and 8-7-stable branch

I also included the https://github.com/atom/atom master branch (blue line) for comparison.

In order to get a better picture what what's going on, I'll need to cross reference the churn to security issues, but this isn't something my tool will support until later in the year.
Ask HN: How Accurate Are Apple's App Analytics?
Newb here, first time releasing an app on the App Store. According to Apple, my app got several thousand views - mostly through organic search traffic I assume - in the first 2 days, but almost 0 downloads. Is it possible that people are clicking through and just finding my app uninteresting once they see the details? Yes, but at that rate? It looks relevant, professional, etc. I'm having a hard time reconciling this with actual human behavior. Is it possible these reported page views include a lot of bot activity?
A horrific experiment in central planning has killed lots of people, so has a horrific experiment in letting rich people run things (you know, capitalism). Now we can get the best of both killing capacities at once!
>Chavez was pushing a sort of ethnic nationalism for the mestizo majority. But his supporters just didn't have the technical skills to run an advanced economy.

It has nothing to do with skills. Chavismo is a fundamentally broken agenda. Socialism (the real deal, not capitalist welfare states) does not work. Nationalizing industries does not work. Price controls do not work. Central planning does not work. The most skilled leader in the world couldn't make this program work.

And no discussion of this monster is complete without mentioning the political prisoners, extrajudicial killings, and pro-government militias spreading terror just like the Brown Shirts. And look at the company they keep. Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, China, and the various Chavez-imitators in Latin America.

Chavez was an evil man.

Microsoft is 40 years old. IBM is 100. Some other old companies might not be considered "tech" anymore, but only because their market/product are better defined (e.g. Ford is an auto maker, but the assembly line and the concept of an automobile itself place Ford as the "tech" darling of 110 years ago, IMHO). I think if you don't see old tech companies today, it's because over time their public appearance has quietly lost the "how" (new technology, automation) and only left the "what" (search, ipods, advertising, rockets). But that doesn't mean old tech companies die.

You can implement this in Lisp. The dispatch will be at runtime, not compile time. I don't think CLOS supports this use case, but the rest of Lisp certainly does. The issue will be speed, as I mentioned before.
> It's just not Lisp-y :-)

...but you can do it in Clojure, right? (honestly I don't know anything about Clojure). I guess some diehard old-school lispers don't consider Clojure lispy. Is there another way it isn't lispy? Certainly someone could come up with generic functions that dispatch on types, and then the problem would be trivial. The "filtered-functions" mentioned above, seems to have the machinery required.

No, the current system produces by far the highest standard of living for the most people. Which is why with the gradual spread of free market systems has resulted in a dramatically increased median global income, dramatically reduced global poverty, and dramatically decreased global inequality.

The US, Canada, Australia, Germany, UK, Japan, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Singapore, Italy, South Korea - all utilize the free market system to one degree or another, and none of those are remotely close to being Socialist. Nearly all of most prosperous major economies on a per capita basis, those with the highest standard of living, are free market oriented, and anti-Socialist.

The US has the fifth highest GDP per capita, and one of the highest median household income levels, as well as nearly the highest median disposable household income level; as well as a median household net wealth level higher than Germany or Sweden. For a nation of 330 million people. Let's see Socialism manage that; the closer you get to actually implementing Socialism, the faster you collapse.

Versus: USSR, which struggled to even keep extremely basic grocery store shelves stocked. Cuba. Cambodia. Vietnam. Socialist Germany and Italy of the 20th century. North Korea. Mao's China. Venezuela.

You can't show me one single example of Socialism ever working, not after 200 years of disastrous results from every attempt at Socialism. I've got dozens of extremely prosperous examples of the free market working, it has worked in the US for two centuries.

There is no contest.

I'd just love to be able to search the respective stores being able to filter out stuff I'd never want.

If I could:

* Filter out any apps or games with microtransactions.

* Filter out any apps or games with ads.

* Filter down to apps with at least x downloads or ratings.

* Choose how the content is sorted.

I feel I could find things that I'm actually interested in. As it is at the moment it feels random whether I'll find something I'd actually want to download.
Yeah, I read your link about Microsoft v Novell, which is not the same as Microsoft v Netscape.

As for Microsoft warning people that Windows was not tested with DRDOS - so what? Why would they be obliged to test against DRDOS? Why would they be obliged to support Windows on DRDOS?

I remember in even earlier days PC clone BIOSes would contain the string: "some programs expect the string 'Copyright IBM' here". IBM was unable to stop the clones. Microsoft could not stop DRDOS from faking whatever detection mechanism their was, why didn't DRDOS do that? Why didn't DRDOS offer better deals to OEMs? Why didn't DRDOS offer their own Windows? Why didn't DRDOS offer a dos that was much better, rather than only slightly better?

And the "bullet in the head of dos extenders" was simply puffery, as I was directly involved in the dos extender business and no such thing happened. My dos extender made DOS into a viable 32 bit operating system - why didn't DRDOS come knocking and buy that? Microsoft had nothing like it.

In my not-so-humble opinion, DRDOS had many opportunities to counter, and they didn't. Microsoft didn't owe them any consideration. What Microsoft execs said isn't any more material than rah-rah locker room talk amongst a football team about them murdering the other team.
Not true. A company can definitely take itself private by using its own money. It's already happening when a company is buying back its shares. i.e. reduction in equity by using cash, one on each side of the balance sheet. The shares are then entered on the books as treasury shares.
I'm in love with this article, and my SO is reading it right now. It reminds me perfectly of books like J-Pod and MicroSerfs, as well as some of the recent Gibson novels.

I work at a company that has just morphed out of "startup" and into "contender". I didn't start early, I was hired by the guys who were hired by the founders (so that makes me a 'C' I guess by some old adage), and I've seen the company change so much even in my short time there.

But this article nails so many perfect details. The plastic tubs of goldfish and trailmix, the Mid Century modern-esque furniture.

Also, the bar referenced is probably OddJob.

Yes and no.

"[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches..." can very reasonably be read as an expectation of privacy. "The government will not, without due cause, search your papers and effects" is a very fair paraphrasing.

That's ridiculous. Then the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a democracy, a republic, and for the people.

Capitalism is a form of economic organization based on markets, private property, the accumulation of capital, and exploitation in the "neutral" sense of extracting property from investment. Capitalism comes in many different forms just as socialism does. Just because welfare capitalism and laissez-faire capitalism are distinct does not mean capitalism as a concept is devoid of content. Just because "market" and "private property" are abstract terms that need to further instantiated to be analyzed does not mean capitalism isn't a coherent concept.

State capitalism is when the state owns all the property and administers or directly controls the means of production through a bureaucracy, exactly like a corporation at the scale of a nation.

> This is too broad and abstract to be actionable, let alone analyzable. What is "democratic" control?

Well that's why there are so many different flavors of socialism. A lot of socialists would say you cannot simply elect socialism into office. Are they wrong? You're the one who wants to lump all people who call themselves socialists together, even though that sort of reasoning leads to absurdities like considering both North Korea and the United States of America democratic countries. If defining socialism as an empirically verifiable condition of the relationship between people and the means of production is too abstract to be analyzable, lumping everyone together based on intent and self-labeling is even worse.
Glad I wasn't the only one noticing and wondering that.
That works because farms have fundamental value. If it's a baseball card (no dividends, no buybacks) you have to pay attention to what randoms believe because selling to them is the only way you can realize any return.

If anyone wants to see an example of FOUT, you might be able to on my website with Chrome 50. I am currently experiencing this and then I found this bug report. Reload a few times if you don't see it at first.

http://jakedeichert.com

edit: FOUT usually means a fallback font is briefly shown before flickering and rendering a loaded web font.

edit: As people have pointed out below, my situation likely has nothing to do with this possible bug. My website layout is very lightweight and Chrome is rendering it probably faster than the other browsers I tried which explains why I'm seeing FOUT more often in it. And yes, I'm loading my CSS asynchronously which is the main reason behind my FOUT.

There used to be an Apple Doomsday Clock website in the 1990s.

Geekforce saved some of the pages but recently got rid of them.

It took the Think Different campain and made a mockery of it showing pictures of Hitler, Stalin, Mao and others. At times it was funny at other times it was offensive.

Here's some numbers that establish that larger vehicles are generally safer:

http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/driver-death-rates

Compare the death rates of small, tiny, and midsize sedans (2011 data is the latest).

Then look at large SUVs. Huge difference. "All vehicles" = 28. Most of the large SUVs are single digits, most of the smaller cars are well above 28.

Curiously, Ford Expedition 2WD is above average and is an exception. I would love to understand why because it's a huge vehicle. The Ford Expedition 4WD is way at the other end, 5 deaths. Perhaps it has something to do with how people drive, or some flaw in how it handles.

Most trucks are pretty safe, but the Ford F-150 4WD has above average death rates, and is the most popular single model of pickup truck. I wonder if this is because lots of people buy this truck who don't really know how to drive a truck.

Anyway, some interesting data to explore there. Although as I pointed out, there are some outliers, in general the data lines up with the contention that larger vehicles are safer.

>Should I really have to decide one hundred times a day if a page was worth reading?

No, and the argument I was suggesting is that if the costs were low enough, no one would really need to make those decisions, any more than they need to decide whether running a glass of water is worth the cost.

>If I'm rich enough that it's not a concern, just bill me the 0.33% out of my income tax that it would cost to provide this.

Why? If a micropayment system worked well enough that no one cared about the prices, what reason would there be to involve the government?

(Not that I'm averse to such a scheme, I just think you're making a strange leap of logic here.)

> I've considered your arguments and rejected them.

It feels like you just read my first sentence, and reacted to that, despite the fact the rest of my comment argues against that position, and ultimately agrees with you (although from a slightly different direction).
I'm afraid there's no point in explaining this kind of stuff here. The prevailing opinion on HN is leftist. Few people are even willing to argue rationally, and since vitriol isn't tolerated, people just silently downvote, sweeping contrary views under the rug of grayness. The downvoters are drawn to grayed-out posts like sharks who smell blood in the water: a swimmer with a small cut soon attracts a school of sharks that massacre him, leaving nothing but an empty space where a comment once was. It's sad, and every time I see it, I question why I even have an account here.

That's logistically impossible to happen. This would require ULA to have the capacity to produce all the launches for the entire market (both domestic and international) which they do not and will not. This sort of monopoly driving out all competitors scenario is only viable if they have the capacity to produce widgets and/or services that is easy to scale to the entire market. Space launches isn't one of those.

The new spec allows CSS to specify the behavior.
