I have never seen so many loud sore losers after an election in my life. The globalist establishment has shown nothing but total contempt for people who don't share their world view. I hate to be the bearer of bad news[1], but you're not changing anyone's mind. Everytime I see the WaPo or the Guardian push the false narrative of Leavers all being ignorant racists that have brought doom to Britain, the more happy I am that they won, the more optimistic I am about their future. Every time you try to usurp the will of the people, they become stronger against you. The people will have their way and the British people have a track record of success.

[1] Who am I kidding, I love it.
Don't know about automation (unimportant to me) but boxes are specially designed with a non-standard material, pizzas are premade and par-baked earlier in the day so that they can do last 3 min and then deliver to you (within 15 min), centralize the initial cooking then decentralize the last for faster delivery, have 15 min delivery at all, pizza dough has been researched with former head Google chef for what works best with their pre-cooking method, they only have 3 kinds of pizza in order to make all this work, and various other things along the chain.

$20 delivery for this quality and size is pretty decent/normal in SF.
I have been wondering for a long time if it would be possible to make a computational device out of subatomic particles. But i guess if possible that would take hundreds of years.
I had this exact problem as well. I had to download the old version of the driver just to uninstall it and then I installed the latest Windows 10 driver. Problem solved. But it was the one thing that went wrong with it.

It's an interesting idea to entertain, if outlandish. See http://bigthink.com/strange-maps/the-city-states-of-europe (HN discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11192948):

> "The 21st century will not be dominated by America or China, Brazil or India, but by the city," writes Parag Khanna (1). The author of several books on global strategy, Khanna argues that (some) cities, as islands of good governance in an increasingly unstable world, will become the cornerstone of a new world order.

> That new world order won't be a "global village" of nation states, for globalisation is corroding national sovereignty. Rather, it will be a loose network of semi-independent city states, perhaps resembling the Hanseatic League and other medieval trading alliances.
MVC 6 is the version that works best with Core, although they don't really refer to it directly much any more. Both MVC 6 and Web API 2 are now part of Core. They're just packages like everything else.
Or maybe there aren't. Maybe we just have to learn with a certain amount of risk and don't be giant fucking pussies. Since when did we collectively become scared 40-something housewives? I thought this was "home of brave", not "home of those afraid to leave the house because there's rapists and terrorists hiding around the corner"?

If you're a government official, you pretty much have to, at this point, turn this country into a giant Orwellian nightmare, or be crucified by the media for not "doing enough to protect our children" the next time a few people inevitably lose their lives.

Our oh-so-precious children who are already growing up in a weird world where they're not allowed to ride their bikes around the damn neighborhood since mommy is convinced everyone is a rapist.

And then we sit around and wonder why little Jimmy grows up to be an asocial psychopath with rage built up that nobody can explain.

So yeah, things aren't going to get any better when we, and our officials, are basically cowards and would rather destroy everything that makes life worth living in order to "protect" us.
It's all relative. Philly can be affordable, cheap even, if you aren't picky about location. I live near Scranton now, so maybe that has changed in the ~4 years since I've lived in Philly.

Kodi is a really good media player for your local home network. It's easier to access those files than VLC. PLayback is more reliable than say Plex apps. I dont' really use any of the apps, but spin up kodi to play files on my network. You can use it to play slideshows of photos too. I wish I used it more, depended on it because it's so good.

How much German do you need to speak in the Berlin startup community?
Spain wouldn't block Scotland's entry to the EU, it comes down to fishing rights, amongst other things:

"However there is another reason closer to the heart of the Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy that Spain won’t block Scottish accession to the EU. Interestingly, during the last independence referendum Rajoy was asked three times in an interview with El Pais newspaper whether he would veto Scotland, and three times he refused to reply. He refused to reply because he didn’t want to encourage Scottish independence by telling the truth.

Mariano Rajoy comes from Galicia, and represents the city of A Coruña in the Spanish parliament, the Cortes. The mainstay of the local economy is the fishing industry, and big fishing interests are the main funders of Rajoy’s own local party. The Galician fishing fleet depends on its access to Scottish waters in order to feed Spain’s enormous appetite for seafood, and any attempt by Spain to veto Scottish membership of the EU would threaten that access. Rajoy would then find that his local party’s bank balance was as empty as the fish counter in a Spanish supermarket. He’s not going to let that happen."

> We all knew that a Brexit vote would unleash forces we didn’t understand – a series of rolling crises in high finance, macro-economics, politics and diplomacy

I find things like this shocking. That most of these articles are just shooting from the hip.

When Cameron first floated the idea of the Brexit. He did so, consulting all the civil servants in the country. You know, the ones who actually run the country and know exactly what needs to done should a leave vote happen.

There is no scrambling around, there is no forces we don't understand, there is no crises in high finance, politics or diplomacy.

This is a country that had it's own empire and had 200 civil servants to run India.

I constantly laugh at postings here that Germany is going to take Finance and the Tech center from London and that the UK Economy is going to collapse.

The UK did just fine outside of the europe before the EU turned into the EU. It will do FINE just outside of the EU.

What a lot of people need to remember. Is what Germany is going to do now. How will it AFFORD the monies that the UK was paying. The German people are the ones who are going to foot that bill.

Also, Hollande is on shaky ground. Le Penn may win and therefore will most certainly want her own Frexit vote.

Merkle, is on shaky ground, she's up for re-election next year? What if she loses?

Yeah, interesting times ahead. But in some respects. The UK may actually be doing better.

Watch this space.

I'm Current's editor, and loving the traffic spike we're getting from this... thanks everyone! Serious follow-up question for you -- are there other public media/technology articles you'd be interested in reading that we should pursue? We don't cover tech exclusively, but this post has proven to be hugely popular (not just here but on reddit twice). Would be great to hear your thoughts.
It doesn't, as you can see from looking at the exit vs. total proportion for each place.
Out of the box thinking. You nailed it.

No, they won their group, won and advanced from the knockout stage, and, yes, got crushed in the semi-final round by Argentina, to finish ranked fourth in the tournament.

Maybe they were but they actually statistically came to that conclusion. In the same sense that people think that given that it has been all heads for the past 10 flips then the chance it is tails is higher in the next (it's not)

>You can't really apply your statistical thinking in that scenario.

The main idea behind Bayes is that you can apply probabilistic reasoning to anything where you don't have complete knowledge (which means, short of 1+1, is everything)
The general idea of .NET as a platform is easy to understand. The naming of .NET Core, .NET Framework, ASP.NET, etc. and the difference between them is not.
One obvious example is the fact that Apple does not allow you to install anything but the latest OS (and possibly one minor revision back) on an iOS device. OS upgrade kills your battery life or makes a critical third-party app stop working? Too bad, so sad, sucks to be you, there's no way to go back.

They don't force you to upgrade, but they artificially block the ability to go back.
Tried the PICO8 fanzine?

http://pico8fanzine.bigcartel.com

Its tailored for PICO8, which is a 'fantasy console' in the same light as 80's 8-bit machines, but still .. its one of those 'zines that really takes you back once you get through an issue or two ..
I would be surprised if there wasn't a free (as in beer) Express version for Linux, with a DB size limit like 10GB. Otherwise Entity Framework Core supports PostgreSQL, but there isn't any lazy loading yet.
I remember calling 911 exactly once, when I found that an elderly neighbor had fallen on his lawn, and was in distress, though not immediate danger. An ambulance arrived within 10 minutes, probably nearer 5 minutes.

My wife (among others) called 911 when neighbors were held up in front of their house across the was last December. The police were there in about 5 minutes. Somebody on the street called the police a couple of years ago upon hearing an explosion in one of the houses. The police were there very quickly, found a fire, and summoned the fire department, which also arrived quickly.

Be prepared to take care of myself? I am somewhat trained in rendering first aid, but have no experience in standing on a cherry-picker while operating a fire hose. I have discharged a firearm, but at no time recently, and don't think I would add to public safety by hunting armed robbers.

Why limit yourself with Express/ Community if you can get full featured RDBMS with Postgres?
I suppose - but I'll probably never know if that's for actual performance reasons or for object fetishization reasons.

Object fetishization is not to be dismissed - having dozens of U87 and Manley stuff might be a competitive advantage.
Non-human animals have all the same "noise canceling hardware" as humans (It's mostly in the hind-brain), so it can't just be for speech. I know that that echo/noise canceling hardware plays a big role in sound localization.

This is probably why the noise and echoes sound louder on a recording. They don't change the way that they should when I move my head, so my brain can't figure out how to cancel them.
Ahh, HN. I come for the articles but I stay for its cringe-worthy commentary.
I've lived in Berlin for 3 years and have never had to use German to interact with people in the startup community. Since a high number of startup founders/employees are from other european countries, it's more practical to use English as the language of business.
Show HN: Node.js application boilerplate for rapid development
I had a schoolmate in high school who believed that every question has an objective answer. Man, what a pita it was when he set out to find it and wouldn't let go even after all the others gave up and tried to abort the discussion...

Sometimes I am looking for subjective answer, because let's face it - objective one doesn't always exist (if ever). Saying SO is not the correct site for this is of course a legitimate response, but the feelings it evokes in me (especially after it replaced myriad of forums where I could have gotten a better answer) are not very friendly. I deal with it in my own way (not actively helping others), but it's a shame...
On the pop-ups that appear on my Windows 7 machine, there is no button they says "Do Not Update"; both buttons (Update now, update later) lead the system to download and install Windows 10. That both of your users report explicitly clicking a button that references update makes me suspicious that they in fact just clicked the wrong button.

Sneaky of Microsoft, but I'm having trouble buying these tales of the OS going rogue. I just haven't seen any way for that to happen.
Eh, it's going to be hard to replace a proper algorithms or computability class with an apprenticeship. I'd like to see a combined approach, classes in between an apprenticeship-style arrangement.
Chemist here. Glassblowers are essential for certain chemists - like organic chemists - mostly for the purposes of fixing essential (and expensive) glassware like vacuum manifolds that often break during the course of daily use. It's less essential for several other fields that fall under the umbrella of chemistry, like theoretical/computational chemistry. The issue is whether it's in the department's interest to subsidize glassblower use for everyone in the department, or have labs outsource glassblowing to a third party. MIT decided to get rid of its glassblowing shop and machine shop about 10 years ago. We were lucky enough to be in Cambridge where a glassblower would come by the lab every thursday and pick up / return items we needed him to fix / make. Given the constant stream of glassware that is being broken, and the cost of replacement of certain items being >$1000 trust me when I say that university glassblowers are extremely busy people.
Maybe but 3 years after the fatalities they had 2 serious injuries which makes me give less credence to this. (Also see my reply to sibling comment, my friends reasoned about this statistically while falling for the gamblers fallacy, sort of)
"Go home pakis" is a far cry from questioning immigration, or not agreeing with an open door policy.

But you have done exactly that, associated anyone bringing up the subject with a fascist ideology.
A Simple Way to Get Your Investor Pitch Deck Done
Way too many compatibility issues unaddressed by that PR to have a hope of getting anything changed there. Also it looks like what you (?) are trying to do could easily be solved with the Path.* and Directory.* path manipulation functions. No need to put a million apps at risk when you can wrap your call to Uri() with a three line helper.
They've renamed some packages, so this might possibly be fixed in another one? I found the Ping class didn't work on any non-Windows OS, but it was fixed in a later package with a new name.

I stand corrected. Thank you for the information.
When NCSA was bringing you the World Wide Web and the University of Illinois millions in NSF grants and industry partnerships, and accolades and thank you's from vice presidential candidate Al Gore, all the work was being done in the nearly windowless basement of the old Oil Chemistry Building.

The university charged NCSA for the privilege of occupying the tenth shittiest building on campus. And we joked about what other crappy building they'd gift us when they finally got around to giving us the space we had requested. Their definition of building us new space was to build a building for someone else and give us their hand me downs.

And of course they owned all the IP and charged a pretty big tax on all of the income. I'm fairly certain we brought in almost as much money as the football program (who got a stadium upgrade the same year class sizes were increased to save money).

I have no illusions of Stanford having a more generous program. All that free stuff isn't actually free.
Brexit may re-adjust house prices in London by as much as 10 - 18%, so there's that...
Europe never had a proper startup capital, or more accurately never did well at startups in general. It's not unlikely that there will just be less investment, nobody has to win.

Given the very small numbers, every European country [1] has a lot of potential to multiply their startup output. I doubt any trade deals or policy changes are going to bring it about. Not happening without major cultural change IMO. One might as well say that UK just 'bought' itself the ticket to make some major changes (tho I'm not betting my money on it either).

Just look at Israel, that tiny 8 million country consistently tops most European countries in terms of absolute funding. [0]

[1] maybe with exception of Sweden, it seems to pull of good numbers sometimes (given the small population), but doesn't seem consistent
It's not clear that anyone knows what will happen.

Historically the EU plays hardball with dissenters. The leavers are gambling that our trading relationships are essential to the EU - but unfortunately they really aren't. So it's unwise to expect anything too conciliatory from Brussels.

What is clear is that if the UK does leave it will have spent the last forty years building up the City as the key European/World financial center, and then thrown away that advantage through the actions of a small clique of overly ambitious and utterly dishonest politicians.

And if you take away the City, no one in power has any idea at all how to build a 21st century economy - never mind a 20th century economy, or even a 19th century economy.

While the rest of Europe will be developing new startups, England will be playing with its union jack and wondering if maybe it should build a big navy again.
Ask HN: Which FB Plugin Is Better for Chatting (Message Us vs. Page Plugin)
Hey HN!

I'm trying to figure out which Facebook plugin works better for starting conversation with my website visitors. Facebook provide two different ways:

1) The "Message Us" plugin (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/implementation#message_us_plugin) - this button sent the user user to Messenger (web or app).

2) The Page plugin (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin) - It lets embed Facebook Page on a website and start conversation without leaving the site.

All these plugins can be represented as website widgets. There are some examples:
1) http://blog.jparkislandresort.com/
2) http://www.band-brand.us/

Which way is better? Which widget is more convenient for the visitors? Thanks!
I worked in radio in a fairly large market. On-air talent made good (not great, compared to tech salaries) money. The best talent did lots of events & wrote books to push income, always moving to a bigger market if possible. Upper management (as in, national corporate management) made bank. Everyone else made garbage.
Have you seen or used https://github.com/Popmotion/popmotion/? These both seem fairly similar, both small libraries with a lot of overlap.
Dry pasta is eternal as long as its kept dry, but can't be legally sold that way. Ditto plain white rice. Non white rice goes rancid in a couple months.

Aged "many years" cheese is normal (for some hard cheeses), but its only allowed to age a couple months in a fridge.

Potato chips if sealed from air won't go rancid.

Chocolate is eternal unless contaminated and even if its bloomed it can be remelted and re-tempered.

Honey is also eternal. Ditto syrups. And yes its illegal to sell food without an expiration date so even honey has an expiration date laughably. Crystallized honey can be fixed by 20 minutes of heating.

Salt has an expiration date. No kidding. For that pink Himalayan salt (or more likely fake made with food coloring) its 15 or 20 years I don't remember which.
The interesting thing here is that Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 all improved the Windows Update restart timing logic and made it more transparent. (There's a section that states "A restart is planned, Windows has determined the most likely idle time to try the restart is 3:43am" now, for instance.)

In this case it's Windows 7's Restart logic that is old/bad (and long has been), not Windows 10, but Windows 10 of course is getting blamed for it, not Windows 7.

It's another reason people should stop worrying and upgrade to Windows 10. ;)

Isn't this what Intel's SGX system is supposed to do? Create a trusted, isolated execution environment, that's certified by Intel (or whomever manages your PC platform) not to mess with your data in malicious ways?

IIRC can't it communicate directly to the keyboard,screen and the network?

Besides DRM, this is probably the next best killer feature for the system if it's as secure as they claim.
I work in Medical Devices. In one of my jobs, the goal was to collect blood products - Platelets, Plasma, RBCs and keep WBCs at bay - using centrifugal separation. The 'prediction' algorithms would make a best effort prediction on how fast (and when) to run the various mechanical components - the Centrifuge, Platelet, Plasma and RBC pumps to optimally collect these products with minimum variability.
Luckily they had the foresight and technical chops to build and collect every little detail about how the devices ran, under what inputs etc. Access to the 'outcome' of the treatment was tricky - the hospitals/collection centers had to actually measure the actual platelet counts and make sure they enter it into their system. What I'm getting at is that there is a trove of data in Medical Devices - if there isn't, hopefully companies will start collecting data with a view to applying machine learning a few years down the line - and given the complexity of some of the problems, this would be a great field for application.

A couple of years back, there was also talk of Pharmaceutical companies opening up their data for clinical trials. I'm not sure where things are with that effort. If anyone has any info on that, it would be good to know.
An audio signal is only as clean as the worst element in the chain.
By that time, open books may be less useful than the effort it takes to open them.
After having gone around the SPA framework circuit, I'm back to using jQuery, routing with PathJS, and templating with Jade (compiled using a Browserify transform). It's just so much simpler to understand. No magic, and I have yet to run into any problems. If I needed more complex model stuff, maybe I would throw in Backbone.

I know these tools don't keep your code organized, but it doesn't prevent you from organizing it either. And I really do hate all the levels of indirection the monolithic SPA frameworks seem to throw in your face.
