Some of those I'm not buying into.
I imagine it's a form of Dunning-Kruger: account buyers feel that they are more skilled than the rating they received after calibration.

There are also those who legitimately enjoy griefing dota: their account is probably so deep into low priority stacks that it is effectively banned. Or perhaps they are shadow banned into the bot/multi box pool. So they buy a new account to try and ruin games at high MMR.
I think it's worth noting that Tesla models seems to have issues with leaks and water infiltrations that can explain the rust. Anyway, if they beleive in stock manipulation, they should sue.
Since people were so angry I used The Benchmark Game as a source for benchmarks here (https://github.com/logicchains/LPATHBench/blob/master/writeu...) is another micro benchmark showing gcc & clang handily beating rustc. Though the timings are 1+1/2 year old. Their relative performances might have changed significantly.
The second half of this is particularly important.

Apple keeps iOS desirable to an enormous number of end users who are willing to spend money on apps.

They benefit from this by selling a lot of iPhones, but the developers benefit as well by having a market to target.
Yeah, the documentation is really bad. I found that there were two types of objects returned by sqlAlchemy: "query objects" (which can then be executed or compiled into SQL) and "selectables" (which are tables, joins, etc. and would compile to queries that have select statement, just something you could select from.) Almost all operations consist of creating or composing these. But this wasn't anywhere in the documentation!

Once you figure out these tools there's actually no magic–it's pretty easy to figure out exactly what the expression builder is doing–but finding these took a bunch of trial and error.

Even the kernel version isn't particularly helpful, as Red Hat is backporting new features into the version shipped by RHEL 6 and 7.

One specific example is the SO_REUSEPORT socket option which was added to Linux kernel 3.9, and was subsequently backported and became available since RHEL 6.5, which uses version 2.6.32 of the Linux kernel.[0]

More like "Apple does a PR piece to convince developers that everyone else is being wooed so they should be wooed too". I miss the days when Apple used to generate hype simply based on great product, instead of artificial pieces like this.
These are complaints about visibility. Can you market it yourself? Then the app store provides cryptographically-signed peace of mind to users that they can use your app without their contacts stolen or their phones hijacked.

Solitaire/Minesweeper. One of the original purposes of including them with Windows was to familiarise users with mouse techniques.
If your OS of choice is OS X or Linux, you can set up a Windows VM on it. But not the other way around.

Besides, Windows machines are much cheaper, so if you're from a developing country or a student, you have access to a Windows machine, not a Mac.
So etale cohomology? :P
The problem with regulation isn't Uber. It's the extraordinary costs required to operate a taxi - mostly the $200k plate. If I can get a background check and a card certifying me to be allowed to work with children for about $50, why does it cost nearly $200k to get a taxi license. Require licenses, reduce the costs to improve competition, and let the various companies compete on service.
I am currently facing the grim possibility of a patent with my name on it for a system that's basically a poor imitation of decades-old technology. (But it works great with our other poor in-house imitations of decades-old technology!)

Yahoo's "non" fire sale is a good counterpart to the devil on my shoulder trying to rationalize away my participation. My job is actually pretty great otherwise (especially for the town I live in), so I'm stressed as hell at the prospect of quitting over this. I keep thinking of the Milgram experiment, and how confident I was when I heard about it that I wouldn't have been part of the majority that continued shocking a human being to the point of apparent death. Software patents are an abstract evil by comparison, but now that there's a part of me saying "yeah it seems bad, but it probably won't result in any real harm", I can somewhat empathize with that majority.

I don't really have a point to make, this just seemed like a reasonable place to vent my shame and frustration.

SW4 and a Pajero TR4
Purely anecdotally, my ten year old Toyota Tacoma is the best vehicle I've ever owned, so I'm not really surprised to see it at number five on that list. Had one major problem in ten years (clutch springs broke at 60k). Otherwise with routine maintenance (oil changes, tune ups and tires) it just keeps working.

Ten loads of mulch in a weekend? No problem. Hauling a half ton of Bawls energy drinks to a different state over wet mountain roads? An adventure but no issues. Moved my (now) wife to town in 2007 and moved all our stuff when we bought our first home. We took our daughter home from the hospital in it. It almost feels like part of the family.

I kinda want a newer car, but I can't really justify it because my Tacoma just keeps working every single day (and it's paid off). Toyota can make a really good vehicle.
My view is that Safari is leading in privacy and lags in everything else. Meanwhile Chrome absolutely leads in security while Firefox leads in standard support.

I use Chrome for work and Safari for casual browsing. Safari definitely has better tab management (tab expose). I am also sad that Firefox UI looks stale. Their settings & options window look like it hasn't changed since initial release.
How do you helm with that

Today it wouldn't work because they now have frame-breaking on m.Facebook.com. But if you'd like to see the general template you can email me at the email in my HN profile.

Basically, you position the iframe element over something that will be clicked (such as an advertisement X button), set its z-index so that it is the topmost element, and set its opacity to 0. You can even test to see when the click has occurred by testing for when a certain element on your page has lost the focus.
I agree with you, but just to be clear, Portugal decriminalized all drugs.
I am not comparing the numbers in a mathematical way (I am not saying 16 is better than 7).
I meant more like that packages get updates to next major versions when the OS jumps to the next major version. Somehow, I felt that Ubuntu releases new major versions more often than RHEL. But checking the release dates it seems that I was wrong.
My 2014 Audi A4 Quattro is the most reliable car I've owned. I took it in for a replacement oil pressure sensor at 48k miles which was replaced in 60 minutes under warranty. I can't really complain about that. I am currently on pace to put 30k miles on it this year.
That said Audi has a reputation for a reason, and previous model years were not so care free.
A team can surrender if 4/5 teammates agree and at least 20 minutes have passed in the game. Players often believe the game is over before 20 minutes though, which causes these problems.
I'm not American, so I don't have an intricate knowledge about your car market, but isn't GM doing relatively well since the bailout? At least their Volt/Bolt models seem to be pretty innovative, at the moment it would be my choice (i.e. the Opel Ampera derivative) if I were to look for a new car.
I have never met anyone from the Tinder team, but I would guess at the following influences:

1) Tinder was initially released in 2012. The javascript ecosystem has changed immensely in the past 4 years.

2) If I re-open a URL in google chrome on my iphone, I have to wait for the page to refresh. With an app, I don't.

3) The program model expressed by the CSS+HTML API is so complex that after 10 years, I have given up trying learn a mental model of it which can accurately predict reality. I have accepted that web interface development involves a great deal of guess-and-check. Apparently the APIs exposed by the Android and iPhone are much more coherently designed.

4) To open a webpage, you first have to click an icon to open a browser, then type in the first few characters of a URL. To open an app, you just have to click an icon. That makes it easier for someone to get into the habit of checking your app.

(If you can point out ways in which #2, #3 #4 are false, I would love to hear them. However, that won't weaken my argument because OP isn't asking about reality but rather is asking about the perceptions of the Tinder team.)

Would it be fair for YC to make decisions based off of the HN comment logs of YC applicants?

They explicitly do this.
Estimates place the death toll from the conflict in Syria at about half a million, but your evening newscast likely caps each night's broadcast off with a puff piece about a found dog that had gone missing, or some good deed a local middle-school kid did for his neighbor. If that same slaughter were happening in your home-town, do you think it'd be significant? Don't you still think it's more significant than the puff piece even though it's happening on the other side of the planet? It's certainly easier to ignore things that are further from our field of view, but I don't think it makes them any less significant unless each person ignores the larger world around them.
Isn't $200k the free market cost? The government isn't pocketing that money. That's the price you would expect from an asset that generates income with a limited supply.

Edit: why am I down voted to max? The government limits supply but the medallions are still sold on the market.
It's not an arbitrary restriction. All the tools will have to be reimplemented. Take the simulator, for example. It's implemented by translating iOS system calls into OS X system calls. It's not an entire OS running on a emulated CPU. That won't work on Windows. Will Apple have to implement an emulator? But that will be slower for developers using a Mac. Should have they to support both?

There are significant downsides. You can argue that the upside is still worth it, but you can't dismiss the downsides as "completely arbitrary".
Boycott Google
I do understand your point as well.

For my own part, I support breaking any artificial borders on the Internet as well. But rather than adding a restriction like "can't do business with a company if they offer different services to different locations", I'd instead remove any restrictions that might affect someone who simply purchased the service as provided in a different locale. (The company can try to block accessing other versions of the service, but that's a technical problem, and solvable with a technical solution. If the company can tell where in the world you are, we haven't made the Internet good enough yet.)

For that matter, geographical restrictions on media depend on restrictive copyright laws to have any effect at all. So I don't support adding a restriction to "solve" a problem artificially propped up by another restriction.

If the proposal on the table was a law/treaty to prevent people from accessing the service as sold to a country other than their own, then I think we'd both agree that's a bad idea and oppose it.
Coursera shuts access to old platform courses
The system penalizes you for leaving in the middle of the game, to the point where if you do it often enough you can get your account banned.

Your team can resign, but it requires at least a 4/1 vote. You typically end up with that one try-hard player who refuses to end with dignity and get 3/2 non-resigns, forcing everyone to play out a lost game.

On top of that if you afk or troll yourself there is a reporting feature at the end of the game where you can flag players, which can also result in account suspensions and bans if they occur too often.

It really is a terrible system all the way through.
Which services? Charging for services is common in private equity, but I was not aware that VCs also did so. Are these top-tier VC funds?
Brazil is about 1000 miles from Africa. Cape Verde is 350 miles from Africa, and Madagascar 200 miles--neither of those were settled by indigenous populations of Africa (Cape Verde was colonized by Portuguese and Madagascar by Austronesians from Borneo).

By comparison, the Bering Strait is about ~50 miles wide, and Greenland is about 400 miles each from Labrador and Iceland (note that I'm counting from West Greenland, where the Vikings settled), which is itself ~300 miles from the Faroe Islands thence another 200 miles or so to the Shetlands and 200 miles yet again to Norway. The islands of the Caribbean Sea are generally no more than ~100 miles apart. Bermuda (uninhabited pre-European contact) is ~600 miles away from North Carolina.

Given those distances and what we know about historical shipbuilding technology, combined with evidence of which islands weren't inhabited back then, the only plausible contact routes that existed before the 14th century would be the Bering Sea, Viking longships, and Polynesian outrigger canoes.
I often wonder if the only secure computing and communication these days is an air-gapped computer.

The data can be manipulated there and then copied to another computer using... uh... a writeable compact disk? USB drives are hard to trust given how much software is running on them, so... maybe CF cards too?
Will be interesting to see if they pull out like they've done in Austin. It's definitely been less convenient to go to a bar since they left.
>air must be compressed quickly enough so it doesn't heat up

The heating is inherent to the compression. Adiabatic means something else.

To make air based refrigeration work, you would have to compress the air and transfer the extra heat somewhere else. Then you would get cooling when you let the air expand again.

... which is all still moot as the air would not be compressed enough to matter in this case.
I wish copyright was more limited with regard to scientific works. But how to define them? In a conservative sense, perhaps works that are

1) a technical or research article

2) produced with public funding

Could receive more limited (shorter-term) copyrights etc.
Google is testing a major change to search results
I would use an app to store/download information about my contacts and then quiz me about such questions as:

- What is the name that goes with this face?

- What are some of the interests or conversation topics that this person enjoys?

- What topics should I avoid mentioning around this person?
One could probably start with the fact that the last 2 digits of any 5th power are in "0, 1, 7, 24, 25, 32, 43, 49, 51, 57, 68, 75, 76, 93, 99" and go from there.

I think his point, and one I agree with, is that the tool chain is incredibly expensive, obsoleted frequently, and requires lots of maintenance.

If you used Microsoft's tool chain to build Windows apps, you can do so with a VM under the Dream Spark license for free.

I thought it was 3 and 30 (which seemed pretty arrogant at the time). Have they backpedaled?

No, the supply is artificially limited by the government; there's no free market involved. That $200k is paid to the government.

(The claimed rationale for limiting the number of taxis is to reduce traffic. I would suspect the actual rationale is to favor the existing taxi businesses that already have licenses and don't want competition.)
OK but what would they publish? General ideas? The details being published would only lead to a mess as each company could advertise and make a fuss over things. Or other countries might do the same to shift things in their favor. The end goal for each country is to do things to benefit themselves, even if it means making hard decisions.

It's not like spy exchange negotiations or all other sorts of diplomatic processes are public. And it's not that things are unfit for the public per se, just that publishing each move isn't beneficial.

Yikes I never thought I'd be defending TPP-like processes. Personally I think we're (the world) not yet ready for this level of globalisation, unfortunately.

This prompted my interest in what's the history and regulation behind taxi laws, particularly for Quebec.

So I searched, and found this document extremely enlightening. Note that it's from 1995, long before Uber, and gives many pros and cons and reasoning behind different types of legislation:

Intfact part 2
I understand why this solution has been proposed, but is there any chance of convincing the FCC that the devices should be left "open" and that it is up to end users/hackers to operate their device within the regulations set forth?

I mean, that's how it is with plenty of other devices and types of equipment (cars aren't speed limited to 70mph - you're expected to operate your equipment within the bounds of the law, regardless of capability).

I'm not in the US, but I can imagine global firmware versions being locked down just to placate the FCC.

Or is it too late and do we have too little sway to convince them?
A better approach would be to make it attractive to operate in the US.
Why wouldn't they just use MongoDB? It's already web-scale.
You're spreading BS too. Portugal did not legalize all drugs. They decriminalized personal use. But trafficking drugs is still illegal.

But almost all U.S. DEA prosecution is over trafficking, not possession. So decriminalization wouldn't get rid of it.
Regarding the links... Perhaps, if those intolerant countries realized the TOTAL truth, they might accept it and move on instead of killing people? (note that American intolerance for infidelity is the same as Saudi Arabia and faaaar lower than France.)

There are of course things I freely elect to not know. Simple example, the sexual details of all the exes of my current girlfriend. I could ask her and she'd tell
me, but I won't. Call it insecurity...
