How much of that has to do with the fact that Alibaba had an IPO in 2014? People were using Yahoo as a vehicle to invest in Alibaba. Given that, the stock would have risen regardless of who was CEO.
The answer at present appears to be "yes, unless your use case allows frequent recharging" (such as an EV commuter car/grocery getter, alternate transportation available for long trips, no likely situation where unplanned long trip would be necessary) or there's large financial incentives to ditch the engine (i.e. taxpayers paying people for the inconvenience).
A key rejection metric that's likely more important than YC is whether new companies are getting new customers or not. It's convenient that YC also likes this metric.
It looks great, except it has a ASpeed AST2400 BMC on the board which seems to do video and usb over IP etc (edit: eg it ties into networking, pci, usb, memory)...

Unless the firmware running on the BMC is going to be open source, I fail to see how it helps.
You're right. Took mwpmaybe's suggestion for the time being and only will accept IPv4 from ssh for now till that's fixed.
If I have physical access, I can install malware in the firmware of your WiFi card, or I can replace the whole CPU with a malicious one.

Once physical access is gained, everything is over.
What about performance and the "overhead" that React Native might introduce?
Yeah, this isn't sketchy as hell or anything.

StartCom are well known for their misunderstanding of how TLS works (see: the heartbleed revocation bull), and... this apparently costs money?

IIRC StartCom also used to generate private keys on their servers... They're utterly incompetent.
While it doesn't have a similar commercial backing, wxWidgets is still going strong and is quite solid.
I've used submodules in multiple projects and haven't had any problems beyond standard git annoyances.
Is that code answers your question? No offense but the main message of that talk is if you can do a for loop than you can do statistics simulation in any programming environment. Like in R.

m <- 0
nexp <- 100000

for (i in 1:nexp) {
if (sum(rnorm(30, mean=0, sd=1) < 0) >= 22) {
m <- m + 1
}
}

print(m / nexp)

You can still turn ME into "manufacturing test mode", where it will not execute things.

But in that mode Intel Network Cards will poweroff every 3 minutes.

I wondered why my I219-V didn’t work, until I found it worked with ME in normal mode.

We've put a lot of effort into making the UX as seamless as possible, trying to mirror the in-app purchase experience of native apps. We're also signed up for Stripe's Apple Pay on the web which should make the process even smoother.

They loose some math & reading skills, but they also get some other skills and benefits, depending how they spend the summer. Some will socialize, some will play sports, some will read a book or play games. And if they're at least averagely intelligent, these other skills might be more important for their future mindfulness and life, since they'll be able to pick up on math & reading anyway, it's not THAT hard after all. Also, in my own experience, forgetting and then re-learning usually leads to a much deeper understanding of the subject than what you get first time you go through it.
That's the whole point of this store. For each type of product they usually only have one brand, mostly the store brand. They also only carry fast moving products and almost no long-tail. That's one of the reasons they can offer extremely cheap prices while maintaining good quality. In the US they have no problem beating Walmart at their own game using that strategy.

Additionally, they used the same code for things like different types of yoghurt of the same size (they still have the same barcode, makes scanning faster).

Of course we have bigger stores in Germany, too. But they are not quite as profitable.
Does anyone know if this only works when displaying diffs, or when generating them? It'd definitely be nice if diffs were more readable when sent to mailing lists, i.e. from git format-patch.

Here ( http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-arts-and-culture/books/16524... ) is a discussion of a history of Yiddish (the original work being in Yiddish, I think it's forgivable to read a discussion instead):

> Nineteenth-century Jewish activists, demanding rights of citizenship, created the story that the Jews had been locked in ghettos since the Middle Ages

> For Weinreich, based on both the linguistic and historical evidence, there could be no doubt that up until the 18th century “the Jews wanted to be by themselves. … Separate residence (strange as this may appear in the light of present Jewish and general conceptions of rights) was part of the privileges granted the Jews at their own request” so they could worship together; provide for their own slaughterhouse, bathhouse, cemetery, and social halls; study together; run their own rabbinic courts; supervise tax collection; and when necessary, protect themselves from attacks.

> Archeology supports this part of Weinreich’s argument. Befuddled tour guides in Prague struggle to explain why, given the expectation of exclusion of Jews, the city’s famous Jewish quarter, Josefov, is so central to the old town. (One misguided explanation is that the Jews were given land near the river that was too marshy for the other city inhabitants, prone to flooding and disease-bearing miasmas.) But Prague’s Josefov is not an isolated case—it is typical. Weinreich’s point is that exclusion could also be exclusivity; restrictions also came with designated privileges. In Trier, Mainz, Aachen, Cologne, Worms, and more than 100 medieval towns in Central Europe, the Jewish district was both a central and a prime location, close to the economic heart of the city. The German Bishop Rüdiger, granting a charter of the city of Speyer in 1084 wrote, “I thought that I would increase the glory of our city a thousandfold if I were to include Jews.”
Really interesting to realize that every day we see "on-demand" companies get funding but very little "on-demand" analytics tools to anticipate the workload. I had worked on a project for SNCF - French national railway company - to use Beacon to better track customers in railway stations and adapt the staff and services. We did the job but soon realized they absolute no clue about who does what, the time it takes, etc.

Just to provide another perspective, I'm an American anglo who has lived off and on for over 30 years in South Korea, speak the language near fluently, have worked in a variety of Korean institutions from a rural health center to a top research university. Along the way I have benefitted mightily from friendship with some great colleagues and much enjoy the rich culture and fascinating challenges of living in a rapidly changing society. Well-satisfied expats such as myself are not few in number. No surprise, the key is learning the language and using it for creative engagement with Korean society.

That said, I think it's fair to say that among many Koreans Samsung is viewed with respect but no affection. The company history dates back to the Japanese colonial period and is imbued with the pre-WWII Japanese zaibatsu mentality. What some posters are generalizing as "Korean" seems more the rather specialized local culture of Samsung. Personally, I would never work for them.
Ask HN: Who switched to GitHub unlimited?
Just over a month ago, GitHub introduced a new per-user pricing model with unlimited private repositories. It seemed like a good fit for some, and a huge cost increase for others.

Who switched? Who left and who's hoping for something different?

> So paying people more and giving them jobs destabilizes the local economy because these people now have money and spend more on housing and other items? And if they're paid less, they're being exploited?

You're not paying all people more, just some of them. The rest get to enjoy rising prices for good housing and luxuries that they won't be able to afford with their local pay.

> Doesn't the government prefer rich denizens and a higher tax base? Isn't this how education is funded and higher salaries and tax base partially the point of investing in education?

Unless you're planning to turn all Nigerians and Kenyans into software developers, this isn't really the case. Just higher taxes may pay for the education the government invested in you, but the investment is made with a hope that you would do more than break even. Without skilled technological leaders driving progress forward(because they're busy driving someone else's progress forward), you'll stagnate, which means the costs of global goods gets worse for your population,

> Aren't digital good mostly global in nature? Don't poor countries benefit from Facebook/Google/Apple/etc?

Yes - which is why most poor countries can't afford them.
i saw on their web site that beta signups get reduced fees from 30 to 15% :)
If you're using different salts for each password and sending them from the server each time (the first option above), then my point still applies: the client would need to send the same password hashed to different salts, which may weaken security guarantees. (I don't know if any hash algorithms could be exploited using this, though.)
Most people don't think so, that's the fundamental problem in the world.
Can confirm. Was one of those kids.

We built a shitty FB app with some fancy features and sold the shit out of it as the next big thing in that space.

It was average at best, they bought it, we made bank, worked for half a year and left to start a company doing what we want to do, without needing any funding.
Websites will always have the ability to disable auto-complete though. Just now it will be though a series of ever-increasingly insane hacks found on StackOverflow (culminating in a custom JavaScript textfield with broken accessibility/internationalization)
But VirtualBox doesn't emulate different instructions sets, so you would have to run ARM windows inside of it and an ARM build of AutoCAD (which I don't believe exists).

Yep. I bought YHOO when she was hired, and it worked out well. She may not have been the catalyst for they stock price rise (Alibaba), but she was the catalyst that made me purchase some shares.
Also worth a look are Boy and Going Solo, Dahl's autobiographies of some of those events. Both excellent, aimed at adults, and a surprising little window into the forces that shaped Dahl-the-author.
Your understanding is almost certainly wrong. If you want to learn a bit more about the difference between cannabis and nicotine in terms of smoking health, I suggest buying Glantz's Primer on Biostatistics; the problem sets are filled with citations to papers showing an almost complete lack of evidence that smoking cannabis has the negative effects associated with smoking nicotine products. This research has held up (NIDA attempts notwithstanding) and the primary issue with long-term heavy cannabis use appears to be gum problems (hoping to see more studies with better methodology in the future).

Is the success thanks to PHP or in spite of PHP?
While that article is correct, it's full of FUD with the constant littering of 'secret' and 'take over' in the text.

We already know about Igor's research and the published ARC CPU reverse engineering, "Ring -3" rootkits and the DEF CON presentations. This is bad, and this needs even more reverse engineering so at some point we might add an 'open' replacement for the required ME functions and run it together with say, LibreBoot/CoreBoot.

I wonder why there haven't been any NDA ME or ARC docs leaked yet, even some of the Broadcom SOCs had those leaked and via cleanroom design proper FOSS drivers for some of the wireless parts were created... this should be possible with the Intel ME as well. Hell, even a FOSS version or at least partially reverse engineered and modified version of laptop EC firmwares have popped up on the 'net.
A team of people known to work & accomplish together had a common motivation when they worked for a startup, usually building a single product for a single market. The effects of this focus + motivation is huge. When a larger company like Yahoo acquires the focus + motivation is pulled from underneath them and quickly become quite average.
Cloud orchestration, Container Orchestration, Kubernetes... I think I am getting old and starting to understand how my parents feel about technology.

I am developer, but mostly work on desktop apps, or embedded devices or lataly on some MVC applications. But reading things like

any good introduction or explanation into what is it they actually do?

The query is asking Google to do the translation, but ironically, it's not really Google that answers that query...but it does manage to find the software company that has created an app that enumerates all the Roman numerals in a SEO-friendly way.

It reminds me of when I came back from the doctor's office and was curious whether my blood pressure really was normal. I googled "is 118/90 high blood pressure" and the first result is a site that enumerates every combination of systolic/diastolic number: http://foenix.com/BP/is-118/90-good-blood-pressure-or-high-b...
The thing about scale is that it doesn't look like ordinary individual experience. It ain't enough to run Core2/\Piledriver/\Power/\open source microcode: ME enabled computers are connected en masse to the network. The choices are air gap or head in the sand. ME was inside before Snowden.

Google, Facebook, Amazon, Ebay, Microsoft,, 百度 etc. buy Xeons by the bucketful. They're Intel's customers that matter. The retail box that comes with a fan for sale at NewEgg is just exhaust fumes. 42 or "It's the cloud": take your pick. Managing a gazillion server data center by hand just ain't practical.

Intel's customers that matter replace CPU assets on the IRS's three year depreciation schedule. It's why this [0] and why ME. Security by obscurity isn't so bad when dumping the vulnerable subsystem lowers overall costs for other reasons [performance boosts and lower power consumption].

ME is a good reason that Microsoft has been striving toward multiplatform. It no longer has such a big say in Intel's roadmap. Yes UEFI and the Windows 10 upgrade process kinda suck, but Microsoft ain't pwn'ing anyone's computer because Intel already pwn'd it. ME going sideways at scale would hurt and Microsoft would be the handy victim.

There's a strategic reason Apple is making it's own chips.

I don't see any reason to use TypeScript over Babel. I'm a big supporter of Microsoft technologies, especially since I started out my career developing web applications in the late 90's with Classic ASP. Then adopting .NET in 2000 and working in that space solely until 2011 at which point I jumped shipped over to the isomorphic JavaScript world of Node.js and Angular.

Over the past few years I've really taken to Node.js and Angular and when the Angular team told the world it choose TypeScript as its main language of choice to build out the new version of Angular 2.0, I had to seriously consider adopting it as well for Angular development going forward. If it's good enough for the Google team to use for Angular 2.0 then it should be good enough for me to use as well. Then during my research into the technology I ran across Babel.

After spending decent amount of time reading up on blog posts defending, promoting or choosing one of the two technologies over the other and alert spending countless hours building applications with each of them in order to get a real good understanding on how each feels to work with. I came to the conclusion that Babel is the only library I need to use on all of my projects and for good reason.

Babel provides the development world a tool that allows them the ability to use tomorrow's features and tools today and within mostly ever browser that's in use in some form commercially or professionally. Having the ability to use features in future ECMAScript standards planned for down the road today, makes perfect sense for me to use today if there will not be any side effects to doing so.

These features help me write less code, cleaner code and more robust code, just by using a library that handles all of the heavy work behind the scenes when it's time to transpile all of my futuristic code into today's boring standard for browser consumption.

Yes TypeScript can provide the end user a large portion of the features and functionality I am referring to with the Babel library but Babel provides the end user a lot more than TypeScript can and it will always be able to provide that and more going into the future as well.

libui [1] is a promising new cross platform GUI toolkit. If I need a GUI for a small cross platform desktop app, I will definitely try it.

It uses MIT license, which means there is less headache for commercial applications. It is also more lightweight. I have always felt that Qt has a lot of unnecessary classes. libui has C api, but it would be easy to write a nice c++11 wrapper around it.

And Ubuntu chokes for me on my GTX780 and my Intel-217V ethernet card, both of which are apparently fully supported. We can throw anecdotes all day long, but until there is some research saying otherwise, I don't believe that Ubuntu will work with more hardware without any fuss than Windows 10.

And the whole point of my post was that I don't want to waste my time to "build and see". I want to give someone money to give me something that is 100% guaranteed to work.
GDB for fun and profit
You know, at first I thought she would turn Yahoo around due to her cachet and Yahoo still having a ground to leap from. I dismissed naysayers by writing that down to chauvinism and envy our little world is full of. Now, I'm pretty sure she stalled and nose-dived Yahoo to the ground. At first there seemed to be a strategy behind it all, to build-up Yahoo as a media empire of sorts. However, then random acquisitions started and it showed lack of either strategy or focus. Buy shit and instead of building upon what you bought, they moved onto more buying, while ignoring previously bought stuff. That's just bad leadership, lack of strategy.
All I'm saying is that if I'm going to fall in love with the brand, it would be nice if the employees of the company also have the same love for it.
