What Sets Red Hat Apart from the Valley
I think this is a great idea for funding the universal basic income that will be offered to all people in california.

universal basic income , or welfare for everyone, is the only solution to the technological unemployment problem that is being directly caused by the technology industry in California. After all technology growth in the central cause of gdp contraction and poverty in those afflicted by technological unemployment, which is most nearly everyone who doesn't have a good high paying job with much more than the paltry 15$ an hour minimum wage that California thoughtlessly passed into law.

it only seems fair that they contribute their fair share to the universal basic income as the money must come from somewhere right? I mean, money doesn't grow on trees or come out of nowhere , it is created by the technology industry. they have it.

i know y combinator loves universal welfare because it's such an appropriate solution to solve poverty that is caused by technology , so i'm certain they are probably the ones reccomending this tax behind the scenes, and if not, they are most assuredly on board with it and fully supporting it.

as warren buffet said, he'd like to pay more tax, but the government is not letting him. and we know warren buffet is the very purest snow white of innocent hard working productive capitalists, so to of course is the entire tech industry of california. and so too i expect that will support measures to tax them more. after all, aren't unicorn valuations high enough? I"d like to see them double or triple myself, but cannot we see some small increase in tax for the universal basic welfare solution?
This is a thing that I wish EU would "grow some" and step together instead of catering to (usually) US services/corporations.
More like 192ms at the speed of light in optical fiber, before you start talking about regeneration, etc. but yes, plenty of room to innovate.
Well there is big gain if you learn how to use neutrinos and can communicate directly, not limited by Earth curve.

Earth diameter: 12742km

Speed of light in vacuum (and neutrinos): 299792458 m / s

One way communication between the worst two point on earth: 42ms

Ping: 85ms (most of places will be way faster)

High Frequency Trading folks are probably already getting excited :-P.
You know, here in the US we used to have tests you had to pass before you were allowed to vote. There were a lot of problems with that...
I didn't call you an asshole; I said you had been one in this thread, which was a carefully circumscribed statement. I doubt very much that you are an asshole or even had a negative intention. But what you did is worse than most misbehavior on HN, because it cuts into what should be the heart of this place: substantive, respectful discussion about others' work. Worse, you'd done it repeatedly already, and been asked repeatedly to stop. That's why I chose a negative interpretation in this case.

As for your procedural complaints, holiday weekends (what are those?) had nothing to do with it, 1am enters the picture because it wasn't until 1am that I had time to deal with yesterday's user flags, and there was no 'waiting for the thread to die'. It takes a long time to write comments like the one explaining why we were banning you. Had I wanted to shove this under the rug, I'd not have bothered.

If you'd like to change your ways and treat others respectfully in comments here from now on, I'm more than happy to unban you. Other users have gone from posting assholish comments on a regular basis (I may even have been one myself) to becoming good citizens of this community. If you want to do that too, you're welcome here. But this requires sincerely accepting the model of how HN is supposed to work and doing your best to abide by it. When we give people repeated warnings and they ignore them, it's hard not to conclude that they have no intention of doing so.
I think you're missing the point, which is that voters should at least read about their options in some way or another, rather than blindly (or nearly blindly) choosing the one who will "save our country".
Also, to be fair, guidelines and implied threats like that don't tend to apply to companies that can mobilize PR like Spotify. If you were some small time developer, I could easily see Apple just crushing you for trying to make them look bad.
"Fuck these guys"
I'm curious - I see that Midomi Sound Hound now has voice recognition in iOS 9, which I assume it gets from either licensing Google Now, Cortana, or directly from the companies that provide functionality for those. Why couldn't Spotify just do that? Would that solve your problem?
The interesting part for me was to see what it rated my expression when I believed to have a neutral emotion showing. It seems I look a little angry and contemptuous all the time.

Also, support for scripting from command line!

See end of page here:

This could be awesome as it opens up for a better alternative than Groovy for tooling.

Also, scripting might be a way to sneak in a new language in a conservative developer organization?

He says, in a comment directly on a website
Sweden is testing electrified roads for unlimited EV range
Exactly. I've referred to this as the "deadly valley" - enough automation that the driver can tune out, but not enough automation to operate safely without driver attention. Google has done some studies on how fast a driver can take over in an emergency, and it's seconds, not milliseconds. Aviation safety people note that it takes about 30 seconds after an autopilot disconnect before pilots have full situational awareness.

Tesla, by intent, has built a system right in the middle of the "deadly valley". Tesla's "autopilot" is just lane-keeping and smart cruise control. All the major auto manufacturers have comparable technology, and many high-end cars ship with it now. But the bigger players have avoided promoting it as automatic driving, and restrict the technology to avoid driver over-reliance.

Google and Volvo both have better systems then Tesla's, but aren't shipping them yet. They both take the position that safety is their problem, not the driver's. Volvo's CEO has said publicly that if one of our cars gets into an accident while in auto mode, it's our fault. Tesla blames the driver.

Any website that has any sort of third party analytics or advertising invades privacy. All three of the major browsers invade privacy (or allow it to leak out). Governments monitor and store data directly from ISPs. Windows 10, which isn't free, has tons of privacy issues.

You would still need to find your way to the Spotify app though, so that defeats the point -- because you have to use your hand to unlock the phone, open the app, etc.

Compare this with being able to play a song by simply saying "Hey Siri play Beatles' Rain"... and that is it.
"You asked me several times if I’m a man or a woman. I’m a man. I’ve never met a female hacker of the highest level. Girls, don’t get offended, I love you."

I'll give you it's a bit ambiguous. Let's just say I've never seen anyone voluntarily bring up a point like that and reference skill level unless they are misogynist. There's three interpretations that jump out though:

1. He randomly volunteers that he's never met any women hackers who were also high talent. Without being asked about that. And without bias about whether they exist.

2. He egotistically thinks he's a very talented hacker of the highest level compared to most. He's hasn't met, heard of, or ever attempted to look up any talented women in hacking. (Unusual I'll add.) So, he reflexively says that out of surprise someone would make the mistake he could be a woman since those hackers either don't exist or aren't "highest level." Then drops the line common in sexist statements where (paraphrased) "Women are great in general but not at X."

Looks like either a pointless, sexist-looking thing to bring up or a reflection of a sexist mindset on topic of female hackers. I was leaning toward the latter. I'll leave this tangent for now to let others make up their mind on the statement. Nothing further we can glean with so little information.
Patio11's podcast episode on this is quite good. Transcript here:
http://www.kalzumeus.com/2016/06/03/kalzumeus-podcast-episod...

Patrick's comment is poignant:

"If you give a number in response to this question, that’s going to immediately cap your negotiator range. If you say “My current salary is 90,” then they know that anything above 90 is an improvement to you. Even if they would have been willing to pay, let’s say 110 to the right candidate for this position, they’re probably going to offer you 95 and then walk it up to 98, 100."

The employer is incentivized to pay you as little as they can. We know that many employers pay different people doing the same job different salaries. If you can get them to give their number first, it seems (to me) you're in a much stronger position.
I think it would be better to optimize for high-quality output instead of sheer number of hours worked. Especially since you say you're a creative.
I don't think they're trying to belittle anyone, or say that they're language agnostic. To me it says that they're not hung up on past experience, so you should feel free to apply if you have what it takes.
To protect itself from attack, Estonia is finding ways to back up its data
Might have used the wrong term, but the above comment was dead earlier, and several of his other comments are dead despite not seeming to violate any rules.
Not on the site of the article being discussed, you'll note...
One of the unfortunate parts of our being the only intelligent species we know of is that while we can mathematically guesstimate life's appearance throughout the cosmos, we have no data on when intelligent civilizations die out.

In the final episode of Cosmos, Carl Sagan describes a nightmare in which he is traveling the universe and decides to return to earth. As he gets closer, his spaceship intercepts broadcasts that have been traversing space since the invention of radio, from the earliest radio messages to television signals and then eventually...the signals stop.
I think there is a bit of a communication breakdown here.

@todd8 is simply stating that the sphere full of water would be too heavy for this to be a serious proposal.

@dghughes is basically replying, "Look, it says so right here. That's their plan."

They're not arguing over the material to construct the sphere. It is merely incidental that there was conflicting information in each of their comments.

That's not what I meant. I'm pro-informed voters. Restricting the vote to only the ones that pass a quiz does lead to aristocracy.
I love Amazon. I like Netflix. I haven't tried HBO go yet. Here's my problem with this... which may not be the actual point of this article. Amazon is going to remove PBS shows from competitors (like Netflix). I understand why Amazon would want to do this, but from a consumer aspect, it sucks having to get Orange is the new Black from Netflix, Silicon Valley from HBO, and Elmo from Amazon. To see shows fragmented across different digital providers is what bothers me. I wish they all could have access to all of them. So I could pick my provider and know that everything I want to watch is at that provider. This allows me to switch between Dish Network and DirectTV without too much inconvenience. When providers get shows to blacklist other providers, that fragmentation would cause me to have to now purchase multiple providers. I (as a consumer) do not like this.
Except Apple/iOS doesn't have the majority market share as MS did. (not that I don't despise this, just stating).
Where can I find more information about this infrastructure tax?

Because I highly doubt that Apple actually needs 30% to pay for the app store infrastructure.

And why are you mixing this with the OS API? I could just as well say that Apple needs some kind of OS anyways to be able to sell their expensive hardware.

Also there are certain categories of apps that are allowed to use other billing providers. Why don't they have to pay for the OS API's and R&D?
> We find that unless habitability around low mass stars is suppressed, life is most likely to exist near 0.1 solar-mass stars ten trillion years from now.

Microbial life perhaps, but as far as complex life is concerned, I claim habitability on those timescales will indeed be suppressed. Complex life needs plate tectonics, which depends on a planet's internal heat. A red dwarf star may shine for ten trillion years, but terrestrial planets will be stone cold dead long before then.
List of IEEE milestones
No, it's actually so closed that only Amazon-scale competitors can make viable forks. Samsung is maybe the only other company with the scale and scope to accomplish that, which is why Google has entered into some special arrangements with them.
>Apple's App Store has always been an antitrust violation waiting to happen.

There's nothing "antitrust" about the App Store operation, since Apple isn't a monopoly -- it's in fact a minority player in the mobile market. (And no, you can't be a "monopoly on your own
platform" -- it has to be the overall market).

In fact game console manufactures (among many other fields) have historically had much more draconian restrictions and cuts) that the quite liberal App Store.

And it having 1 million apps and having pushed 50 billion dollars to developers doesn't really paint it as a "restricted area with tight controls where only Apple benefits" either.
Alternative if you present regularly:

1. Enable "extended destkop", rather than "mirror desktop".

2. Select an appropriate wallpaper, or just black.

Yes - and it's 30%. Previously, Spotify would charge $9.99/month for a subscription through their website, or $12.99 for a subscription purchased through the iOS app, to cover this cost. In the most recent version of the iOS app, they decided to disallow in-app subscriptions entirely and push all subscriptions to the web app. IIUC this is the app update that has been blocked by Apple...

Natural monopolies are OK, as long as they are not coercive (i.e. use laws, lobbying and other non-market means to cement their established position). Free market natural monopolies are usually short-lived — they might enjoy the economies of scale, but this advantage rapidly becomes offset by their bureaucratic inefficiencies.

When combined with coercive forces of the government, the ineffective monopoly might stay on the market much longer than can be warranted by competency only. Therefore, revolving door-type monopolies are bad and ought to be disrupted, including by legal means.
It's really an infrastructure tax on Spotify. Bite the bullet, and take your 85/15 split revenue on subscriptions Spotify. Can't believe they re-submitted twice to circumvent the subscription model. Everybody's ego needs to chill.
Using sockets is very portable imo. If I remember correctly there's only 2 functions that differ between linux and windows[1]. I'd rather use 2 source files than the whole boost asio/networking library.

[1] Those are ioctlsocket vs ioctl, and closesocket vs close.
A basic TCP implementation can be cross platform with as little as 2 #ifdef/#endif blocks.
>> You also can't advertise signing up for the subscription outside of the app.

Amazon Prime does this, no. In the Amazon iOS app, you can browse, but cannot buy items. You can still login using your Prime account.

We’re currently working with some of the world’s top organizations including The Omidyar Group, Gates Foundation, Hewlett Foundation, USAID, Stanford ChangeLabs, Democracy Fund, World Bank, Humanity United and more.

- Full-time position (remote or join team on Oahu)
- Salary $60-80k
- Equity 1-2%
- Small team with recurring subscription revenue over $100k / year
- Flexible hours with a fun mission-driven team
- Stack: react, rails, webgl, webpack/babel, aws, git/github, slack, hangouts, IE11+
- Bonus points for experience with: graphs/networks, couchdb, elasticsearch, redis, d3

On a day-to-day basis you’ll primarily be working with Ryan (@rymohr) and will be involved throughout the entire development process: from the initial brainstorm to flush out the basic architecture all the way to the final stages of testing and release. We like to move fast and ship often, and we try to break work into weekly deliverables to keep everyone’s expectations and progress in check. We do a quick hangout at the beginning of each week to revisit everyone’s immediate priorities.

Please send an email to careers@kumu.io if you’re interested or know somebody we can reach out to who might be. Thanks!
