I suppose. But pushing out a low-quality version of a previously high-quality service isn't disruption; it's just peeing in the pool. LANDR is now on version three of their algorithm and it still sucks. The goal here is to move people emotionally and maybe re-light the spark of a dying industry. This is the wrong direction:

"'There are good and bad things about it,' mastering professional Dave Gardner (Louis C.K., the Hold Steady, Black Lips) told Billboard in January. 'If someone can spend $10 a month and get something better than what they have but not very good, I don't know if that's going to make people appreciate mastering even more, or if it's the nail in the coffin.'"
> The light of 2700K bulbs is definitely whiter than incandescent bulbs.

You must be looking at some mislabeled, or carelessly packaged stuff.

Also, the actual temperature of incandescent is going to vary with the line voltage. A swing down to 110V will produce a more yellow light than 120V.

> Stuff in the room is not the right color.

Stuff in the room is the right color when you take it outside on a sunny day.

I'm not a part of this project, but if you look at your tile it's about 2/3 trees (by area), and the results are mostly tiles full of trees. Out of the results from your search, I picked out another tile [0] that I thought was more "swimming pool" with fewer "distractions". The results look like they're more in line with what you were hoping for. You could iterate this way a bit until you find the best prototype for a swimming pool.

Honestly, I never knew that, and am happy to do that in the future.
Generally, people assume that a plurality of marriages that aren't theirs will end.

Their marriage, of course, isn't like those.

We humans are really bad at seeing our biases.
I hear that argument in favor of Uber a lot, but what barriers to entry exist for potential competitors when there are autonomous vehicles?

Currently, you can argue that Uber's competitive advantage and big barrier to entry is the driver network. When you don't need a pool of humans and software that makes the human's job easier, why would Uber be better suited than another company to utilize self-driving vehicles?
Well deserved. The synthetic biology and metabolic engineering communities are booming these days and Prof. Arnold helped popularize some important ideas in directed evolution.
two points:

1. the bigger question is how many soon-to-be-married people actually understand the contractual obligations they are making when they go get their marriage license - it's frankly inexcusable not to educate yourself on this subject - you read your employment contract right?

2. a prenuptial agreement can be anything, a lot of people have preconceived notions of what it means, but really it just means when it comes to issue x, we don't want to use the default state statute/regulation/interpretation we want to solve this issue in y way...
I think you might be misreading the parent statement as "I will never write JS > ES5".

I too find that the easiest to implement features are (not terribly surprisingly!) the least interesting; they are not worth the terrible friction that I'd see in my current organization. I have a hard enough time trying to get folks to write good test coverage and understand the gotchas of writing async code everywhere. So for me, there's way bigger fish to fry than (exaggerating a bit here) saving a few characters with arrow functions.

But that's still not to say I won't ever use it.
I'll give you this simplistic example.

Proof of Burn in the Bitcoin world means making up an address (such as "1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX...") which is essentially impossible to ever be associated with an actual key so there's no chance of recovering the funds sent there.

Proof of Burn in the Ethereum world means writing a contract and publishing the source code such that it can be verified to match the contract address living on the chain. A minimal proof of burn would be this "contract Burn {}" an empty contract that does nothing but receive funds, can never be destroyed, is controlled by nobody and all of this can be verified publicly.

The difference is subtle but important.

edit- btw, yes you can also send funds to address 0x0 but this still leaves open the possibility of a hard fork giving new meaning to that address in the future. my example is meant to be a demo of the difference mostly.

The most interesting thing I ever read about light bulbs is that they used to last 100 years. But manufacturerers limited this due to sales : http://spectrum.ieee.org/geek-life/history/the-great-lightbu...

There is still one active for over 114 years and it has a 'live' feed http://www.centennialbulb.org/photos.htm ( 1 million hours and it's not that efficient anymore )
> I don't know what to say, besides that your statements run contrary to my experience where they conflict

Did you buy CFLs recently or only more than 10 years ago? What brand? I've had excellent results with GE and GreatValue. Mixed results with Feit.

> and I don't understand why you think it's irrelevant that CFLs die quicker

Because I don't (yet) trust LEDs to live as long as they say. So that advantage doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned.

> and are more poisonous

Because it makes no difference in actual use. You can toss them in the trash if you want, or take them to Lowes/Homedepot to recycle. The amount of mercury is too small to hurt anyone if they break.
I think you are wrong. Please check: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/utilize
Uber has zero stickiness outside retail car hailing. Their easy and seamless transactions are great compared to taxis, but are par-for-the-course in deliveries, etc.

And the only thing Uber has going for it is being the only choice in most areas. When there's a competitor (as in SF) everyone has all the apps on their phone and shops around.

Also, Uber's huge innovation is zero-capital rollouts. They use your car. When they have to buy a self-driving car they're back to square one and will also own all the liability.
I’m one of those goofball hipsters who is in love with those “Edison filament” bulbs. In the past year, passable LED facsimiles have been turning up everywhere. No idea what the color temperature is, but if you like that cozy, dim feel…

This was posted a while back and picked apart by the comments, as it has been here too. This is all just "potential" improvements, just like we've been hearing about "crazy new battery technologies" for the past few years and have seen next-to-nothing come of it. Always good to see new tech and ideas, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking this will make it's way back into homes anytime soon.

"Return of incandescent light bulbs" is an incredibly misleading headline that implies that due to this new tech, we're already starting to use these great new efficient bulbs- um, no.

Not to mention, the prototype/initial version is nowhere near the "potential" level of efficiency they are claiming.
HN guidelines discourage classic flame war topics. The BSD (and similar) vs GPL license debate is one such topic.
> the web is about webs of interlinked documents

If this is true, and my browser can follow a link to a Blogger page, displaying the intended document using universal browser features, then the Web is not broken.

This kind of evangelism makes no sense. The whole idea that "the Web is about documents, specifically" was shattered as soon as Javascript was added over two decades ago. It's no longer about that idea and hasn't been for a long time. Interlinked resources, yes, and documents became a subset of that idea in 1995.

The desire for document-type content to display without JS stems from a strange desire to see the technology used how it was invented in 1990. The Web was hodge-podge of technology then, and it's even more so now. If you intend to pick and choose what parts of the hodge-podge to use, you will find yourself frustrated forever. And you gain no advantage by arguing "but I want the _original_ hodge-podge to work with the type of content it was design for!".

JS _is_ the Web just as much as HTML because all (Edit: popular) browsers support it. As soon as that happened, compatibility with the Original Hodge-Podge was dead, permanently. For better or worse, that is the reality.

Yeah, there are fluorescent lights with very high CRIs (for example those in professional light booths) but they cost more because of the phosphor sets.
Considering my own ratio of canned and fountain soda bought in restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience stores (at least a couple times a week) versus soda pulled by a soda jerk (never, nada, not even a single time), this does not bode well for the good baristas of our world!

While I have bought alcohol from a bar, the ratio of my non-bar alcohol still dwarfs bar-purchased alcohol. And frankly, even with the bar-purchased alcohol, it was social events with friends, the bartender could just as easily been a serve-yourself machine.
Well, you're not forced to take your spouse's money in a divorce if you don't want to. Now if there's kids involved things are more complex as the custodial parent has a fiduciary duty to the kids.
King of the Dipshits (2015)
Well, I don't really want to work there. And I wouldn't be able to disclose the info simply by applying, I'm sure.

The real question is - how can I get the higher ups attention? Or would I be better off going public with it, given the private disclosure didn't work out?
There is no repository in the world available, that is either guaranteed to be secure for thousands of years of accepted by the population.

But we would have no need for "thousands of years" if the development of nuclear reactors is allowed to advance. Fast breeder reactors can use our current "waste" as fuel, leaving only stable and short-halflife isotopes as waste.
From the Liberation article [0] (which has a strong French bias):

- France has stopped further negotiations with the US regarding TTIP as the US do not seem to be willing to give enough in return

- TISA has now been leaked, although discussions started in March, 2013

- the official aim of TISA is to reduce barriers to competition in the name of growth and employment, by supposedly treating local and international operators the same

- the implicit aim of TISA would be to counter China's economic threat on the international scene

- supporters of TISA (once accepted) would supposedly force members of the World Trade Organisation to adopt the agreement, yet China, Brasil, Russia and India are all members of the WTO

- some recent amendments to TISA ask for less regulations from member states to remove some of the constraints encountered by foreign actors, this would have a substantial impact on industries such as mining, energy, large infrastructures, IT, etc.

- other amendments ask for foreign companies to not be required to have a local branch in in member states where they do business, which may override/impede on national rights

- TISA would require state-owned enterprises to behave as private actors in foreign countries and prevent them from favouring local business (local or national suppliers and clients)

- the above point also suggests that if a member country's public companies represent more than 30% of its economy, other countries can ask other members of the agreement to refuse to support said country through non-commercial means (e.g. cancellation of debts, donations, preferential loan, etc.). This is ostensibly a way to impede on the competitive advantage of countries like China which have strong government support

- TISA would aim to globalize and commodify health services to open the market to health corporations and insurance companies in countries where healthcare is provided by the state or welfare organisations [1]

- TISA aims to establish procedures for the confidential exchange of documents on a need-to-know basis (up to four years after the agreement goes through). While the exchange of documents may be confidential, participating members would be allowed to transfer the documents on non-secure channels and keep them on systems that are not subject to special security measures

- the agreement is criticized for aggressively supporting business and competition, while ignoring the "public service" aspect of the agreement

I may have skipped some things but I think that about covers it.

Just in case there was anyone still left thinking that China's manufacturing advantage is in low labor costs
>But in a year's time that person has moved on, been promoted, busy with another acquisition, whatever, and now you report to an established and powerful manager in the old company, who doesn't see why you are special or should be treated differently than his or her existing staff. In fact they probably actively resent you; the company buying you at all they take as a signal that existing staff weren't "good enough".

Reading that gave me a since of deja vu. I'm going through exactly what you describe, but it only took 6 months, not a year, to get to this point. It seems like the people running the acquisition actively want to destroy the business they've acquired by making us fit into their 'box' while missing the bigger picture.
The current way that we see the banner is that it is the equivalent of an App install banner for web sites that meet the rough idea of what a Progressive Web App is and would be something that you would want to install or act like an installed app on the system.

The thought at the time of the change wrt to the fullscreen or standalone is that to get that app like treatment in the OS you would expect it to launch as an app would on the system (sans-url bar).

Note: we are also thinking of ways to get the URL bar back to the user when it is launched standalone or in fullscreen. It's a complex UX problem but we want to get the best of both worlds.
These have been at Wawa at least since 2010.
They are simply following incentives set by the economic environment they operate in.
Looks like a homegrown networking framework: https://github.com/twitter/heron/tree/master/heron/common/sr...

Their default event loop implementation uses libevent, and they're using protobuf in some of their higher-level networking classes, but the networking code itself seems to pretty much be plain sockets (with a thin portability layer on top in a few places).
Hah! Yeah, that's definitely something I'll try if my latest inquiries don't go through! :)
Thanks!
"Should" is a personal normative statement. The very nature of the market is that my "should" is different from your "should", which is also different from everyone else's. You are free to disagree with anyone and everyone, but the price is the price is the price, defined only by the prevailing "should"s of the last two people who came close enough to agreeing on the current price to actually make a transaction. In fact, the only reason that transaction went through is because those two "should"s fundamentally disagreed on the future price, or they wouldn't have taken opposite sides on that transaction.

I have Cree recessed modules in my kitchen, and they're fine when not dimmed. They don't change color temperature when they dim, which incandescents do.
I'm on a thunderbolt display (with integrated camera) sitting back about 3 feet. After 5 or so clicks against the corner regions, tracking became surprisingly accurate. I'm impressed!
One kind of automation usually unmentioned is counter service. Gas stations in Europe are shedding staff and being replaced by self serve card machines - 24 hours, no staff.

Self serve shops where one staff member supervises 20 registers with shoppers doing the shop work!

These were the jobs that young people used two learn how to work at a job. I worked the register when I was a teenager and it taught me well and "can be trusted with money" is an important resume tickbox.
>Are you implying that DoS and brute force attacks are not real threats?

Brute force should not be, we have key auth to prevent that. Use it. If you're using fail2ban to prevent DoS attacks you probably shouldn't be the person trying to prevent DoS attacks.

>Is there another solution you prescribe to address these and related issues other than the solutions discussed in this thread, such as fail2ban, port fluxing, port knocking, and VPN?

Key auth to stop brute forcing, VPN would be preferable to mitigate potential key compromise.

>If you don't own and operate your own data center, which is becoming a rare thing these days, your servers are in a shared hosting environment. How do you define "shared hosting environment," and how is fail2ban "a little strange" unless in that context?

"shared hosting" is a pretty clear term, and anyone who's dealt with hosting should know what it means. But in case you don't, it's almost always used to refer to setups where you've got multiple customers hosting their content on unprivileged accounts on a shared server.

>What does root access (or the lack thereof) have to do with protecting daemons from network attacks?

You need root for fail2bans SSH blocking to function.
What do you make of all the Windows-unrelated stuff that comes out of Microsoft Research? Seems like a lot of money and effort they're spending to cover their real mission of infecting the world with their zombie cancer.

I recently saw a Microsoft Research paper about a memory mapping prototype the authors implemented in Linux. I now realize they must have been personally executed by Satya "Kim Jong Un" Nadella when he learned of their non-Windows treachery.

We can only pray that one day these minds will be set free, and we can finally enter the golden age of AI that would surely have arrived 30 years ago if not for the scourge of Microsoft.
Like tmaly, I subscribe to various newsletters, as well as Ben Thompson's Stratechery. Most of the newsletters are weekly rather than daily, however. For daily news I use HN, a business multireddit [1], and Twitter.

What kind of articles are you looking for?

You can't vertically align elements with tabs when they are not a multiple of the tab length or all the same length.

Until editors align properly with a single tab char (something even a word processor will not do) then spaces are the right way.
Fair point that it's the CA's job, but typically their solution is "We'll send you emails at certain thresholds". That kind of thing tends to get lost in the noise of daily work, especially at places with poorly defined processes.

I've also worked places that used multiple CAs, and that makes it more difficult to manage. This at least can pull the info in based on what the server is actually using, and puts everything on one screen, regardless of the CA it came from.

How many people are going to be hesitant to allow people to use their webcams?

I can't get it to work, but even if I could I would be very hesitant to use it.
I use LinkedIn when I have to penetrate a bureaucracy such as this.

Nothing gets action faster when a VP or higher get a personal email / phone call regarding something like this.

Step 1: Troll linkedin to find these people in positions of real power.

Step 2: If they are easy to reach via email or on the platform, try that. Failing that, call their HQ and work the phones until you get to them.

Step 3: Win.
The Fallacies of Data Science
I said NOKIA turned into a cesspool, not Microsoft.

As an example, Lumia 1020 had a lot of people working hard on it... but a very select few went out and took all the credit.
its really hard to say without understanding the prenup
I very much appreciated this article and shared it with coworkers who also found it helpful. I can understand the desire to only read the latest news, but I've learned a lot of stuff in my life that was useful but only new to me. The key benefit to this article was the comparison of ZFS to something I am familiar with: Git. My wild guess is that other non-filesystem geeks like me liked this article for similar reasons and upvoted despite its age.

Edit: Perhaps the ZFS to Git comparison is itself novel? I would like to read about other filesystem features (any file system) from this perspective because I think I would learn a lot.
Fluorescent lights don't use filaments, they use electrically excited gasses.

The reason this technique improves the efficiency of incandescent lights is that they produce their light by heating the filament. The hotter the filament, the more light it produces.

So by reflecting the heat back towards the filament, you can achieve a hotter filament with less input energy.
that what called (by /r/keto people) "lazy keto". which works only for some people. and for me, for example, doesn't work. You still have to monitor intake (again, said by /r/keto people) It is just easier to avoid hunger and energy losses while being on keto diet.
I wanted to mention the radio series as well! When I (re)read the books, I always hear the radio series in my head -- which is just and right, I might add.

It actually does seem fair, because regardless of the prenup Susan will be entitled to a sizeable alimony and child support, based on Daniel's income.

Since women are more likely to initiate divorce, it would be in her interest to keep the marriage alive to the best of her ability.

The man bears the higher risk here, so the post-divorce split should represent that accordingly.
Just a minor nit, yes we have been working under the Progressive Web Apps headline for a while (I work on the devrel team) but it is a shared term that Opera and Mozilla are using.

Search has no understanding of Progressive Web Apps to my knowledge. Performance, Mobileness (on mobile search) and TLS are all ranking factors of some sort.
From the paper: "This experimental device is a proof-of-concept, at the low end of performance that could be ultimately achieved by this approach."

Somebody really needs to get MIT's PR department under control. The hype level is so high it's embarrassing to a good school. Especially in materials science articles. It's like reading the National Enquirer of science.
From the beginning, we always wanted it to be free for developers. Mainly because we, as developers, want our tools to be free and open source. And an IDE is such a difficult problem that it really needs the community to make it successful.

We plan on having a commercial license for companies that want to make closed-source modifications. We like the idea of charging companies much more than charging individual developers :)
These look cool as hell, thanks for the link!
None of those I mentioned are, though C has the 'restrict' type modifier to deal with that.
Actually a pretty good idea!
