Intuitively, this feels very right with my experience being on both sides of the fence. I would need to do a study on one aspect of this in particular that gut-wise is the core of this IMO: The way people treat you shapes your personality and how you treat others in the future. To me this is more to the heart of the issue. For example, when I was poor, people treated me like I was not really wanted or that I was expected to go the extra mile to please. I tended to feel less important with less confidence and didn't feel I was special in any sense, which in some sense made me more selfless to a degree. On the flip side, having money, the service industry kisses your ass and women treat you like you're the hot item on Black Friday. This inflates your ego and you expect that treatment after awhile, becoming more picky and discerning of everything, moving in the direction of being a selfish asshole. This is the same reason IMO why beautiful women tend to be perceived as rude or the "B" word as they see most men as just a commodity as they are inundated with unwanted attention.
They have a provided a FAQ page about Free Dyno Hour [1]

Previously you get 540 dyno hours (18 hours/day), now it's 550. If you provide a valid credit card, you'll get 1000 dyno hours (you will NOT be charged unless you EXPLICITLY switch to a paid plan)

How much liability should google have given that one of their trusted employees broke the trust? The speed of software development depends on trust. If companies start to scrutinize every commit, then development would come to a screeching halt.
I dislike developing in Java. I am not a fanboy by any stretch of the imagination. That being said, someone who takes the time to understand how the JVM works and how to configure their processes with a proper operator's mindset can do amazing things in terms of resource usage.

It's easy to poke at Java for being a hog when in reality its just poor coding and operating practices that lead to bloated runtime behavior.

We have "at your own risk" airtravel in the form of private and chartered flights.

There aren't enough people ready and willing to take that risk to make it a competitive business model for airlines. They are a business that only works at massive scale due to extreme competition on price.
I'm not sure a typical bank card detail form include an address. Usually it's card number, expiry date, CVV/CSC and (optional, as some cards don't have it!) cardholder's name. Not sure about Heroku and too lazy to remember a password and log in there to check right now.

Heroku may have address fields for invoices and stuff, but I really doubt they can validate it (except for country/state) with bank, as addresses are real mess. At the very least, not automatically. So, this probably won't work for abuse prevention.
This comment is profoundly unsympathetic to people who have recovered from alcoholism and decided that for their own health they must abstain. This comment is profoundly unsympathetic to people with sensitivity to alcohol. I'm deeply grateful that my friends and the people I work with respect each others' boundaries with alcohol and other substances.

So what if you do "have a problem"? Is it right for someone to push alcohol on you, knowing that you have a problem? Perhaps I should offer discounts at the liquor store to people who turn in their AA coins, because alcoholism is "their problem" not mine?

Craig Ferguson's comments on alcoholism are worth listening to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZVWIELHQQY
Wow- this is awesome. I hated speedtest.net
The behavior of some of the author's colleagues is incredibly embarrassing, and the behavior of some of the author's managers is just reprehensible. I hope that the more reprehensible behavior is simply an indicator of the problems of unexperienced founders/leaders. I know the nature of these anecdotes is not uncommon, but there does seem to be a clear line between the discomfort associated with office-sponsored drinking events and outright harassment.

The larger discussion has merits, but I do think, for better or worse, startup culture is just a reflection of our alcohol focused social culture (and in full disclosure, I enjoy it). Startups are different in that they often blur the line between professional and social. This can certainly be problematic, but it's also one of the most significant reasons that I enjoy working at startups much, much more than traditional businesses.

It's really exchange + outlook + lync... the integration is really good (for teams in a larger organization), is what it comes down to. From organizing meetings, to the rooms the meetings are in, etc... seeing when other people are busy. It's organization wide, and fairly transparent to the end user.

With lync integration properly setup it's really nice as well. Though the mac client doesn't work as cleanly as it does on windows.
Strange I too have a higher upload than download speed on speedtest.net (usually 75 down, 80 up - or so)
To be fair, that's not an enormously crazy thing to say. If I read George R.R. Martin's work and then write the exact same story, going through sentence by sentence and changing each material word just enough to say it wasn't "copied" (e.g., "Tyrion shot the arrow through his father's heart" becomes "Tyrone fired the bolt, piercing his patriarch's breast"), I'm surely guilty of copyright infringement.

I don't think SSO should qualify for this sort of protection, for a number of reasons (it has significant functional constraints on how its expressed, it's a tiny fraction of an overall creative work of software, etc.). But it's not obviously nuts to claim it should either.

Not quite a statistical fluke. The 9-11 hijackers took advantage of the fact that they could count on the passengers and crew to cooperate because they would assume that this hijacking was like all the others before and cooperation provided the best odds of survival. But the 9-11 hijackers defected (in the sense of the prisoner's dilemma). As a result, no one will ever cooperate with a hijacker again, and as a result of that, no remotely sane person will ever attempt to hijack an airplane again.
Independent of the security theater problem, we (collectively) beat the air travel system like a rented mule.
Alcoholism aside, why do you think that it's OK to judge someone based on what they do/don't want to drink? Some people make the conscious choice to not have alcohol. That's OK!

We're 2 steps further along than the passengers and crew resisting. Cockpit doors are reinforced and locked and wider adoption of a 2 person rule for the cockpit.

If anyone is interested in seeing a small project built with Gluestick, I have one here https://github.com/jer-k/phoenix_gluestick_example. The Gluestick portion is under the _web/ directory.

I arrive at the airport in a Lyft.

I walk up to the security checkpoint checkpoint, where I show the agent my phone. They see my boarding pass with the green checkmark and send me to the empty TSA Pre line.

I walk through the metal detector with no adjustments to my attire.

I am at the gate in 5 minutes.

I like how trains basically let you show up last minute, and a 3 hour train ride actually means a 3 hour train ride, compared to airport, checkpoints and boarding time, possibly waiting on the runway, and air time.

But you really just need to upgrade your travel accommodations to make your airport experience more seamless.
Extrapolating from my involvement in FP6, I am pretty convinced that there are hardly an actual experts involved. Any random professor from Europe qualifies there as an expert and the expertise of this level of academia can be characterized by ignorance, inflated egos and outdated knowledge.

I have a colleague / acquaintance who worked laboriously to prevent photos of himself being put online. He avoided all social media, tried to duck out of group photos and used pseudodyms for fora. Searching for him only returned photos of other people sharing his name.

Then one day last year he attended an open-day about retraining IT professionals as teachers. He didn't read the small print closely enough and photos taken at the event were published and studiously tagged by the event organisers. There he was, bubbling up on Google Images.

Subsequently he contacted the organisers and they did remove the tagging, but it was purely by chance that he had discovered it.
Well, darn, there goes that. I'll have to re-examine it with C99 reference to assess it's accuracy.

"If you want a flat memory space you have to guarantee an access to any memory address in less than X cycles otherwise you have a NUMA architecture[1]"

There is nothing wrong with NUMA (well, ccNUMA, but today that's a given). Even a simple modern two socket server is a NUMA machine.

Anyways, as I've commented elsewhere, I'm not arguing that shared memory is practical today on a large HPC cluser.
Without any particular opinion on the reading experience, I've been wondering about something. Why is it that quite a few pages that I use Safari's (otherwise excellent) Reader View on don't display the full article? Is it intentional? Some flawed parsing on Safari's part?

In most cases adding the article to my instapaper list solves the issue, but even there I occasionally find missing content, in particular on wikipedia pages. Which is odd, because I'd expect Instapaper to find some way to handle those well.
When asked about the Hillary comparison at a book signing, Stephenson said that he hadn't wanted the character to represent Hillary and thought it was unfortunate that many readers would make that assumption just because there were so few alternative public figures to map the character to.

I always wonder how big influence on these statistics have all kind of adblockers. Like a lot of you said, there are a LOT of "forced" installs of Chrome on computers of not-so-power users. Most of them don't even know what the browser is so I bet they don't have any adblocker (unless someone installed it for them). On the side, we have power users that have adblockers and (AFAIK) they are not visible for scripts from StatCounter and similar companies. So results of browsers like Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave may be understated, am I right?

> To protect those on the ground, part of the option could be acknowledging that the military can take out your plane if it's hijacked.

Destroying an aircraft over potentially populated areas can be useful to shift who and how many people are at risk when it hits the ground, but its not really (even if you can reliably destroy it when you need to, which -- absent a highly-reliable remote destruct device built into the plane [0], is hard to guarantee) a great way to "protect those on the ground". Because the wreckage is going to hit somewhere, and you don't really have precision control of that.

The article completely misses the point of the TSA. It is not meant to actually make air travel safer. It is there for exactly two reasons:

1) Provide our dear politicians the satisfaction that they "Did something" - Security theater is very useful during election times (Tough on Crime et al)

2)Provide a convenient excuse to expand the govt. ability to dictate yet another aspect of people's normal lives. The govt. now has another tool to harass "undesirables" - simply put their name on a "No fly", "No Train" , "No $SomeOtherThing" list and have their TSA buddies enforce it.
Or have the "undesirables" be pulled aside for Random screenings every single time [1].

[1] http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/07/citizenfour-filmm...

This is the real purpose of the TSA. Your safety or saving lives is irrelevant.
Paying for some F-16s on standby at certain points around the country seems reasonable to me. I mean, the TSA costs us ~7 billion a year anyways.
It's algorithms guessing about something in nanoseconds with little context. Feels like that would reduce accurate pricing. Not a finance guy, though, so my intuition could be wrong.
> he traits to categorize are it's rigged, parasitic on others

I'm not sure that's a good way to frame them. If you frame them as parasitic, then the argument shifts towards how we can stop them, as they don't provide any value. HFT firms do provide value in liquidity and more accurate market prices. Whether the cost them impose for these is worthwhile is an open question, but then the argument is about how to tweak incentives and rewards to best utilize this resource, not how to prevent it from working at all. The framing matters.
It's actually really weird being a young adult (23) who doesn't and has never drank. People will always look at you as if you're from another planet and you'll always be pestered for some justification. I remember taking an etiquette dinner/short class type thing during my college years and being reprimanded for responding, "No, thanks, but I don't drink," when offered a glass of wine. He said that I should always say, "No, thanks, but I won't be drinking tonight," otherwise I'd be making the others at the table feel bad about drinking alcohol.

I'll never understand that, but that seems to resonate through society: don't rock the boat and make people aware of a moral decision to drink or to eat meat or to X. Just go with the flow and let everyone take their soma.

This response came out unexpectedly negative.
> [but it's pretty crazy that arguably one of the most popular forms of music in the world is distributed for free]

I agree and I love it.

I think it partly has to with the fact that many rappers started out in the actual ghetto by selling mixtapes (many from my local area such as Meek, Cassidy, Beanie Sigel, etc...).

Releasing mixtapes shows that thay're still related to the streets and haven't gone completely commercial yet (sold out), which is important depending on the type of vibe that they're aiming for. For example, it's very important for someone like Meek Mill to maintain an image of being "real", where as it's not as big of a deal for someone like Drake who's more along the lines of a pop star.

Submitting to the demands of a record label goes against everything that conventional hip hop stands for in my opinion, so I'm glad that these guys keep releasing their mixtapes for free.

Why is it evil? And if the ISP is throttling Netflix, it doesn't "look slower than it is", it just accurately reports the throttled speed.

I mean sure, it's definitely to make ISPs look bad... if they're throttling Netflix connections or otherwise providing slower than advertised speeds. Which doesn't sound terribly evil to me.
“Today you. tomorrow me.”
But people with more power are the ones that have to make the hard choices. And hard choices are hard, true by definition.

If one never has to burden any thing on one's shoulder, probably that one is the burden of someone else. It's like this: we civil people can't stand killing and shooting, that's why we outsource it to the government and praise the army for their service.

Is it hypocritical? I don't know anymore.

Most of them are also really difficult to setup and configure properly, and support costs aren't cheap, as many require a support contract for a commercial plugin to really do what is needed for outlook integration. In the end, for smaller orgs, office 365 may be a better option.

I find that a lot of smaller businesses don't need everything Exchange does, and larger ones should just consider Exchange. It's simply a pragmatic choice, though if someone has an Exchange alternative and makes if FAR easier to setup, I'm all for it. Contacts + Calendar + Mail + Team orchestration is integrated with Exchange+Outlook better than anything else I've tried.
It's based on RDP, so no, I don't think so.
See, that is a significant point in favor of the above.

I had figured that the most plausible explanation was that elastic energy was systematically getting stored in the folds, largely because the folds were at right angles to each other (hence each one is a "spine" which forces the sheet to "stretch" to accommodate it). A prediction of this hypothesis is that a book would not catastrophically fail until a much higher pressure, and that it might fail like other objects do, by eventually squirting outward like putty.

It's possible that a hybrid approach is needed: this failure seems like a release of stored energy; this explanation needs to account for the energy storage in the cellular matrix (probably not that complicated) and then we have a ready explanation of why there is a catastrophic failure whenever the hydrogen bonds themselves begin to rip (as all the stored energy is released at once).
This was an important lesson freshman year of college:

It's OK to drink, even if you're underage, but you MUST provide Equally-Attractive Non-Alcoholic Beverages (EANABs) at your parties. And you must ensure that people from outside the university cannot enter the party.

The author's boss is quite the philistine to insist that everyone drink! I guess he never worked with Muslims, alcoholics, anyone with an allergy or a genetic alcohol sensitivity, or anyone taking medicines that impact the liver.

Your point is accurate, but I'd like to point out that the dataset isn't actually all the comments on Reddit -- it's inly what they could scrape, which is limited to 1000 comments per account. So basically it's missing a lot of the historical comments of the oldest accounts.

I only point this out to try and correct a common error I see. You're absolutely right that it is awesome that the entire data set can be analyzed in RAM!
According to Fast.com FAQ, they use the same "servers" that Netflix uses for streaming:

> To calculate this estimate, Fast.com performs a series of downloads from Netflix servers.

So ISPs want a good Fast.com score then they should prioritize traffic to NETFLIX. A very smart move by Netflix if you ask me.
This is also the reason why I tend to stay away from Meetups/Startup events/recruiting events/etc.

They tend to devolve into awkward situations for people like myself who don't drink or don't want to waste time with the "oh really? you don't drink at all?" conversations. I'm not an alcoholic, but people consistently feel the need to dive into why I don't drink, choose not to, and have never had a drink.

And as much as people here or anywhere may say that they either A) don't care whether I'm drinking or B) feel awkward around others who don't drink, the reality is that the culture is centred around whether you drink and how much.
That's a Doylist approach, whereas the article takes a Watsonian approach.

There is a great deal of statistical work that compares what people think and believe. Some of these works try to 'correct' for wealth and education, then measure the gap between the views of certain groups and what their view would be if they were more well educated. Other studies compare what people say in response to survey questions to objective truths, i.e. what are the branches of the US Government, who is the president, who is the chief justice of the supreme court. If you would like more information on how voters and non-voters differ, I suggest that you read some of the work on the subject; I cannot brief you on the subject in a few Hacker News posts, as there is simply too much information.

Citizens (, especially non-voters,) are ill-informed, biased, and lack any incentive to scrutinize their views, as the only change that could come about would be a painful realization that they have been wrong (which nobody wants). If you want to read a very revealing and well-written exposition on this subject, I recommend "The God that Failed" (edited by Crossman).[1]
