>As someone who has been burned several times by the stock market and supposedly safe index funds...

I'm curious to know what this means. You can only get "burned" in index funds if you pull your money out when the market is down. Are you investing money you need to pay the bills?
Let me just :qa! this discussion.
Hahahaha, I'm sure a lot of people (including me) got a nice laugh from your troll.

I suppose you are "too far along" for YC Fellowship anyway ;)
I feel like quality has plummeted. The last 4 toy boats I've bought have top sized or sunk. How hard is it to test a toy boat in water before you mass produce?

I think we're relearning how to produce and market quality goods now that all manufacturing has moved to China. Lately I've been preferring to buy from target or Walmart over Amazon since I know they have a purchasing team that vets products before allowing them on their shelves. (Not always though). But they should do more of this since it would be a great differentiator for brick and mortar retailers.

That's the first intelligent thing you've said.
Since they are limited to 5 engines per season[0], they were probably very worried that the fault could lead to the loss of an engine. When I did racing, for even the most minor of faults/errors/"that's odd", large amounts of effort were put into correcting the fault if it was on the list of "If this broke, we lost".

@amelius - those are great suggestions. If you could built it in or even help supply the datasets, we could get that up pretty fast.
Maybe try out Nix while you're at it, too! I'm using NixOS, and I'm pretty happy with it so far. The standalone package manager fills the same niche as Homebrew, I think.
Agreed, although I suppose LSD regulation could fit the proposed narative; "Weed" has been a political target for far longer than hippy culture. This quote is often attributed to Harry J. Anslinger, the head of the Bureau of Narcotics as far back as the 1930s.

“There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others.”
You haven't explained how it's anything at all like blackmail. Say I'm the researcher and you're the vendor. I'm offering to sell the product of my own work. You're free not to buy it from me. But you are in no way entitled to my work product!
In regards to point 3, I thought one of the issues was that Uber was forcing their "contractors" to work at specific times in order to remain employed.
Most of the regulations around this that I'm aware of are basically the opposite of what you're describing. The government forces companies to treat some workers as employees precisely because they're already being treated as employees rather than contractors (i.e. not having a flexible schedule).

The author naively assumes that driverless cars are going to be replacements of human drivers in most ways. This is an extremely ignorant view that lacks a lot of imagination. Everyone actually working on driverless cars has been thinking of all these potential gotchas for years and have been designing and engineering with these gotchas in mind.
Apply HN: Stylefnf – Classifieds for Web 2.0
www.stylefnf.com

Stylefnf is a local community marketplace for students, with an emphasis on fashion and furniture.

More simply, it’s a website and a mobile app where college students living in downtown Toronto can buy and sell items with other college students.

Currently, a majority of students rely on veriﬁed Facebook Groups to buy/sell.

A minority turn to other solutions (i.e. Craigslist, Kijiji, Etsy, Personal Website).

Stylefnf has been built to address 3 key issues for on/near campus commerce:

1. Existing platforms leave much to be desired

• As a buyer, Facebook groups provide an inferior e-commerce experience - it is difﬁcult to ﬁlter through items (too much junk) and even more difﬁcult to reserve/purchase via messaging - as a result, deals often fall thorough.

2. Fragmented platforms leave individual sellers without an end-to-end solution

• As a seller, I need to post daily on 5 different Facebook groups just to reach 20% of the U of T student community - as a result, my items often go unnoticed and unsold.

3. Trust & Safety

• As a student, I ﬁnd it safer to deal with other students on/near campus than strangers - as a result, a minority of students are using Craigslist/Kijiji.

We're a couple of University of Toronto kids trying to solve this problem on our campus, and it looks like this is a problem for many other campuses.
sfp/sfp+/qsfp are just the connector types, and can terminate cables that are made of copper or fiber. This is a separate issue from what protocol (ethernet/infiniband/etc) is running over that cable.

For an example, take a look at Mellanox's cable page which lists a large number of combinations of connectors and cable types.

So in general, to call a random sfp cable/port an ethernet port would be confusing unless both parties already knew it was passing ethernet traffic.

If you do a web-search for "marijuana illegal race" you'll see many people having this perspective (including https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_the_War_on_Drugs).

I've heard the idea of anti-drug laws as dog-whistle politics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog-whistle_politics) from a few people.

As far as "evidence" here, I don't know what kind is suitable.

The 1875 San Francisco Opium Den ordinance law is widely seen as anti-chinese[1]. There's certainly historical people, like Harry J Anslinger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_J._Anslinger#The_campaig...) who justified drug prohibition through racist prejudice.

The world isn't black and white of course, and how much race played in this can't be quantified reasonably. However, it's safe to say that it's non-zero.

IMHO, all the war on drugs is doing is inflaming a constant Streisand Effect for drug use. Also, I think that notionally, all drugs would be illegal under the current mindset. The reason that some are not has less to do with race I believe than it has to do with the billions of dollars alcohol and tobacco has to carve legislation in their favor.[2]

--

1. California is the starting point for quite a bit of anti-drug legislation. Although now, in 2016, we ostensibly live in relative racial harmony, the state has a notoriously terrible history of regrettable regressive racialized politics. This completely factual history runs up against most people's current perception of the politics of the state.

2. It's worth noting that when you ban the sale of something, in ways you are creating a more "free" (nominally in the pejorative sense) market then if you sunlight it. If you search "marijuana easier than alcohol" you'll see many saying that, for children, pot is easier to buy than beer. Basically by the state not acknowledging the market, they lose out on the opportunity to influence it. Prostitution-based STD transmission being much higher in places of illegal prostitution is another supporting argument for this.

And finally, in markets such as liquor and tobacco, competing firms don't resolve dispute through violent armed gangs of militias cartelling territories like is done through gangs and illicit drugs. Can you imagine someone working for PBR murdering someone in the competition to gain market penetration?
Yes, and it has been. See: https://www.cs.indiana.edu/~eholk/papers/hips2013.pdf

I'm not sure why Google would care about Google Analytics on brew if they hired him, though.
Great app! Very easy to use. Identifies and allows me to call & email my congressman / senators / state legislators the second I open up the app.

It even gives directions on what to say. Simple.
It doesn't — by default, Homebrew lives in /usr/local/bin/, which is already in the default $PATH on OS X.
Where's your reasoning? Homebrew gave theirs.

Keep in mind that no personal info is ever sent. Just a random UUID.
That's happening already. To be more specific, any ideas on getting developers engaged in creating "quality" docs? They don't really care about them right now, its just a necessary administrative step on the path to commit.
Until next month when we might need to set HOMEBREW_NO_PIWIK=1337...

Homebrew: Require analytics opt-in rather than make it a blind default
So, my first thought on any note taking product is: So, how do I know that my work won't be lost after getting a ton of stuff into it? I see nothing about backup, ie. iCloud or anything else.

My second thought is: When this product dies, how do I get my data out?

As a long time note taker, I need to know those two things to feel safe about investing into it.
Amazon have Cloud storage, I am using it with 11TB right now. Fixed monthly price, 60 bucks a year. I have a cron script running thats sync with cloud drive twice a day. Delete, download, store as often as you want. I have seen couple of people on reddit storing 300+ tb, so you know you are at least safe till you reach that limit.
> But where else is better?

I was trying to say that just because you're the best doesn't mean you're "free".

You speak of "their mental health issues", as if psychiatric disorders are a purely personal burden.

I would no more refuse to help a mentally ill person than I would refuse to perform CPR on a person having a heart attack.

They didn't choose to be this way.
Would be nice to just go to http://bootstrapcheatsheet.com

The url is kind of hard to remember.
This. Either everyone should be notified before the first google analytics transmission so that they can choose to opt in our out. Or the default should be off and maybe on new installs they can choose to opt in. At the opt in/out dialog (when you give the users a choice) you can make the default to opt-in, but having the default as opt-in without any input from the user is bad form. It is similar to spammers calling your e-mail address "double opt-in" because they got you to open an e-mail and you didn't click the unsubscribe link.
seems like not, yet https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/142
Here's a github issue related to this for those who are interested: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/142
Heads up - if you've bought a high density disk recently, it's probably SMR internally anyways.

A write to one area can be done in a single disc rotation, as long as it's sequential.

SMR disks added what are called ZBC, Zoned Block Commands to the SCSI spec. The disk itself exposes the ability to interact with zones several ways:

- REPORT ZONES - What zones there are, how many, what type, and state of the zone.

- OPEN / CLOSE / FINISH ZONE - zone write state management

So essentially, it's like a drive exposes ~8 files, opened with O_APPEND, and you have to manage how you stripe your writes between those files to handle your workload. Your disk can also have zones that aren't shingled, but those seem to have been fairly unpopular.
Tough to say. I suppose you need an intersection of high voter turnout, low scores on corruption indexes and laws that prevent companies from donating or having too much sway over individual representation. All of the above is rare, I figure, but not ideally impossible. The phrase "money talks," comes to mind...
Are there open CVE's regarding it?
I'd rather go to China, I much prefer the loose-leaf tea that the Fujian province outputs than any green tea I've tried out of Japan.

Plus they're not held back by stubborn short-sightedness masked as cultural prestige.
None of these groups are "getting in the way". They're doing independent vulnerability research. Their work doesn't prevent you from doing the same research and finding the same bugs. It is really hard to understand the argument that they're somehow doing harm, simply by learning things and then not sharing them with you.
The evidence is right there in the PDF as well as in the C-SPAN videos I linked. I'm not going through 8 hours of video I watched several months ago to find the exact timestamp, but since you claimed you researched all this you must have watched the videos with all the damning testimony they contain already. It's pretty clear at this point you refuse to acknowledge any evidence that makes saint Shkreli look bad so there's no point in going back and forth any further.

From the memo I linked earlier:

> The email stated that the first patient “has a $6000.00 co-pay. She is not a Medicare part D but has a federal funded insurance plan so wouldn’t quali[f]y for co-pay assistance or be covered under whatever Medicare Part D plan you are working on right now with Turing.” The email stated that the second patient “has insurance, however her plan does not cover Daraprim. Attempted to transfer to UCB for free drug program but was advised that because she has insurance, she does not qualify. Free drug program is only for patients with no insurance.”

Basically, Turing says "sorry, you don't qualify". Turing denies people's claims repeatedly, because they just don't give a fuck. Not to mention the obvious problem of patients not being able to afford the co-pay, thereby having to go without the pills. I've clearly demonstrated that there are cases where patients cannot get the medicine they need as a direct consequence of the price hike. But hey, feel free to believe Turing is acting honorably because they want to protect their reputation. Believe whatever you want. I'm done here.

Car tuning with -funroll-loops... what a time to be alive!
I'm disappointed to see a comment like this here. To treat 'feminists' as a monolithic bloc, mutually exclusive from meaningful contributors to IT, is insulting to those of us who try to be both.

Women in tech face real challenges, including but not limited to casual condescension towards the people fighting for change.

I'm proud of her too, and I'm sure she's exactly the sort of role model that a feminist would have in mind.
Nope those don't work anymore.

Amazon lends it's credibility by vouching for their third party sellers though. If you have a problem with something, Amazon customer support will make you whole again.

Newegg does what you mentioned though. They're basically putting you into a wild-west type situation where the merchant can do anything they want to you and newegg will just remind you that you have no protection when working with a newegg merchant.
Or, you could edit /usr/local/Library/Homebrew/utils/analytics.rb to send Google Analytics garbage (from random UUIDs) until Homebrew makes this feature opt-in.
Fuck mandrill here's how you move to Amazon SES and pay 1/8 of the price
Mandrill/Mailchimp are fuckwits.

They just raised their pricing by 8x and they didn't give their users any notice. All the said was oh we're merging mailchimp and mandrill accounts in an email, not telling users that their also going to get fucked over because the price is now 8x higher.

I prepurchased several thousand dollars with mandrill in credits at the previous price, and they won't provide me with the service at the previous price even for my prepaid credits. wtf?

let's all move to amazon SES, most startups have free AWS credits, else it $0.10c per thousand, an eight of the price of mandrill,

here's how you multithread to send bulk campaigns on Amazon SES:

Collecting telemetry is reasonably, but it seems inappropriate for Google to get a copy and to be able to identify which of their users installed a particular piece of software from the IP address.

So yes. Running their own server would be much preferable.
You may also want to "rm ~/.homebrew_analytics_user_uuid"
I think it would be, yes. At least, it would not get into the hands of an external 3rd party (that as we know, lives from selling / using data they gather from people).
Isn't this the same info they'd get if they ran their own registry like every other package manager (instead of using GitHub)? In the grand scheme of things, this seems pretty minor to me.
Except no customer money was lost.

"oconnore" is a perfectly valid unique identifier on HackerNews that doesn't tie to anything about you if you don't have your email address in your profile. This is no different.
It won't direct affect cash buyers, who currently constitute about a quarter of the housing market. Nothing will really change for foreign investors looking to park their assets in a safe location. But a stock market crash could reduce the number of buyers who are able to cash out stocks from IPOs and buy homes.

Are you sure you've correctly identified the "this" in question? This enables using Dropbox as a shared remote repository, which is more than putting the directory under Dropbox.
Awesome app. Great tool to help get more individual get involved in the political process especially when they know exactly who to reach out to.
A serious question... is there anyone reading this who thinks they might become addicted to heroin or cocaine if the drugs were legalized? Is illegality the main reason you don't use hard drugs?

More to the point, is there a flaw in the reasoning that legalization would lead to a significant increase in addiction, or social dysfunction due to drug use? After all, alcohol is legal and readily available, but most alcohol users are not alcoholics.

This article offers solutions all based on the assumption that legalization and ready availability would drive up addiction to dangerous levels. I'm not at all convinced this is so. I wouldn't start shooting heroin even if it was socially acceptable and only cost as much as a coffee. Neither would most of the people I know.
This is software, they can just ask instead!
Here's a piece I wrote to give people an overview. http://screamingduck.com/Article.php?ArticleID=43&Show=ABCE

I don't really use FreePascal much anymore. I would seriously consider it again if someone developed a branch breaking backward compatibility. I feel like it need a signficant decluttering to get rid of legacy implementations taking all the good names.

For example freepascal has

TList: Manages a list of pointers, can search and sort the list, has event notification feature

TFPList: Manages a list of pointers, can search and sort the list, without event notification feature, faster than TList

TFPGList: generic supporting list.

TObjectList

TFPObjectList

TFPGObjectList

The FP part of the prefix indicates a FreePascal class. The simplest names TList and TObjectList are descended from Deplhi and hold that space for compatibility. Generics came later in the language development so needed to take third pick of name.

The Standard Libraries of FreePascal are nicely consistent in naming at least. You don't have to hunt for the right name. It still feels cluttered though
This article is dated March 6, 2014 - that's over two years ago. At this point it would be more instructive to learn how the decision to Go panned out for them? Were there any unforeseen downsides they could warn us about? Were there any unforeseen upsides one could use when assessing Go for their organization? They're in a position now where they can tell us about Go from the trenches.
I also meant visually.
We're working on adding more comprehensive demos, embedded with CodePen so they can be edited and forked. Until that is done, you can see a number of examples here: https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/tree/master/samples
"Topic-centric" is already a thing in technical writing. It produces those mystery-meat help systems you find in larger applications where you can find information about a specific piece of functionality piecemeal, and if you're lucky also a tutorial that tells you how to put it together into a larger workflow. If you're unlucky, it manages to summarize the parts you already knew without telling you about any details or pitfalls.

The graph is useful for note-taking and exploration, certainly, but it produces a design constraint that isn't always situationally appropriate. Binding things into a narrative can add a lot of value.
That's assuming you pay yourself 100% of the profits, which is not necessarily true. You need to first pay yourself a "reasonable salary" (extremely subjective), and for any profits left in the company after that, you owe corporate income tax. If you want to avoid this, you can elect to file as a C-Corp but then you need to pay payroll tax on your salary.

Very interesting how the authors of this malware covered their tracks. I'd love to know how they gained access and infected the SWIFT systems in the first place, I think that is significant as well.
I am confirming that Homebrew silently starts talking to Google with no warning after a "brew upgrade".
My confusion is why would investors fall for this? I understand why a company would put out these massaged numbers, but why would an investor use that to make their investment decisions? It sounds like the companies are putting out both GAAP numbers and their own numbers... why would an investor not just look at the GAAP numbers? It would seem in their financial best interest to not fall for the ploy.
One decent reason would be that existing installs arguably shouldn't change their privacy considerations without a hoop to jump through.
I didn't downvote you, but I don't really agree this is not an issue. The article itself shows that the git repo can get into a confused state which you have to fix, even if the fix is simple. The experiment itself doesn't emulate common causes of Dropbox pain. Firstly Dropbox stores and syncs files in a way that gits number of files and layout of files is not kind to, causing thrashing and high cpu when people commit. Different clients have different ways of locking a git repo. Issues occur when two clients make changes and are online at different times. I'm not saying everyone will hit these issues, but these are all issues that someone has run into.
I'm not sure it's just convenience but rather some combination of convenience, cost, and just preference. But your basic point stands. The vast majority of people will use public transit when it works better for them personally given their other options on a given day. This tends to most commonly occur in cities that have relatively good transit systems (for the trip in question) and congestion that makes the same trip by car relatively unpleasant/slow.
