That is a fairly stunning graph. Thanks for the data.

One question that has always played on my mind is why these countries find it so much easier to lower their costs via playing games with the currency (e.g. printing more to devalue) than simply lowering prices. Italy could have kept its competitive advantage by simply lowering its wages and export prices, much as Germany has done, but never did.

If I am on my own then Pomemon Go is currently much more exciting than Ingress. But I miss i) you can not annoy opponents by blowing up their farms/homeportals, ii) make long bike tours in order to build large fields and iii) meeting with 8+ players and building a nice L8 farm, iv) being involved in continent-wide fielding operations with 100s of other players.

tldr: Pokemon Go is the better single player game, but if you are into large-scale and coordinated multi player games then Ingress is better.
Yes. Big difference between 20 minute walk and 2 hour drive.
And just like that I will never sign in with Google anywhere ever again. I just assumed that an app couldn't grant itself full permissions without notifying me, but now I can see why that might not be the case since they are free to present whatever UI they want in app.

In my dream world Google would revoke Niantic's API access forever in order to make an example out of them. Maybe, eventually, if they can prove that they didn't hoover up all the information they had access to they can be unbanned after a year.

Unlikely though considering they used to be a part of Google.

Oh. You mean because of the thing. Right.
SR-IOV is good for actual virtualization, but it's pretty clumsy for trying to create isolation within a single VM. For example:

- Every VF you create using SR-IOV will need to have a distinct MAC (and thus in practice different IP). But what you'd usually want for this use case is use the same IP for all apps, and do the split by destination port.

- Another consequence of the previos point is that all apps would need to include their own support for ARP, DHCP, etc. Doing it centralized doesn't really work.

- No promiscuous mode (at least on Intel NICs)m you only get traffic directed to one specific MAC address

Now, if you didn't try to use the virtualization support but just use the separate RX/TX queues, with something like the flow director for deciding what traffic gets sent to which queue, you'd get rid of the above problems. But then you end up with the issue that DPDK makes it very hard to have separate applications access the same NIC, even on different queues.
Especially given that HN offers no support for saving items other than upvoting.

Usually the orders are split much more fine-grained than that. This type of patent is around executing the very small slices specifically designed to scrape off what's available at the top of the market across all the various venues at once. Once that liquidity is scraped, there's a delay to let liquidity replenish and then more is scraped.
That may be the case but why does the change in direction of the graph line up with the Euro so neatly?

I have also noticed what OP has noticed, and it's not covered under any of your above cases, which I was also previously aware of.

To expand on OP, from what I have observed it's not just related to the newness of a comment, because I have seen new comments with downvote button right next to a slightly older comment with no downvote button (just for clarity, none of the five conditions above apply either, e.g. it's not a reply to mine, it's not already dead..). It also seems to affect top level comments more than others. The mystery remains.

Edit: This thread has been banned from the front page. It was on the first page two minutes ago and now it's not even on page 2 or 3. Can only be found in Ask section. Why?
None of them are in regular use anymore and also you can't build a long enough train to exceed the limit.
Sorry if too OT, but I thought I'd put it here:

Why not let people see the scores of replies to their comments? I can understand hiding scores in general, sure.

But it would be nice to know how popular certain replies are, so I know if it's worth continuing the thread. There are a lot of times when there's exactly one comment, which isn't grayed out. I have no idea whether zero or a hundred people think it's a good reply.

If there are multiple replies, then that indicates interest and I can reply to the top one. But that doesn't help for the case of single replies.
It's been down since at least last Thursday. The way I hear it it's been much longer.

"Now in the US, you can choose if you want to pay that cost and thus shop at different supermarkets that cater to your tastes."

On one hand it is ironic, on another Safari still crashes after you peek into link. Half year later after the bug was introduced.
Yeah...I have serious doubts about the longevity of the game. There's some cool tech behind it, and the sense of being part of a worldwide event is really impressive. But the core game itself just feels so...bland to me. The battle system is incredibly shallow even when compared to the first Pokemon game which came out 20 years ago. And this is coming from someone who grew up with the original series and loved it.
It follows that the axle count had better not be greater than 256 either, otherwise if the train splits then the front portion could decrement the axle count for the section down to zero, while leaving the rear portion in the section for the next train to collide with.

Lots of good points here! This article (and the implementation) were born out of the frustration with the lacking performance of most infinite scrollers. We were aware of some of the issues you list (I’m not going to claim we thought of everything ;) ), which is also the reason why we are not providing a library for people to use. Too much left to do right.

> Navigation controls

Definitely something that needs thinking and that we intentionally didn’t address here.

> Ctrl+F

We were think on how to solve this, but we weren’t able to come up with anything using the tools the platform provides currently. Maybe a future API will help here.

> Scrollbars

I thought we did a pretty good job on the scrollbar. You can still click the scrollbar indicator and drag it around to quickly jump from position to the other. It’s not AS accurate, but still useful and doesn’t diminish UX imo.

> Jumping scrollbar

Should barely happen! We are using a sentinel element to define the length of the runway, not the elements themselves to minimize jumping. I think it can only happen if elements grow drastically in height when going from tombstone to actual content.

> “Adaptive DOM pool”

This is definitely an improvement that could be made. Currently we just maintain N elements and N tombstones in memory. N could dynamically adapt to the capabilities of the device.

> Caching

How much caching is utilized is very much up to you. If the API doesn’t provide good caching headers you could implement that yourself in the data source. I think this falls outside of the technical scope of the scroller itself.
It's in beta right now. Just a little while.

Voting gives a sense of agency in that one can influence HN in a positive way. By upvoting, I am making HN more positive by promoting comments that I think add to the discussion. By downvoting, I am making HN more positive by demoting comments that I think detract from the discussion.

That you think a downvote is focusing on negativity says more about you than those who downvote. To be honest, I find your attempts to convince others not to use a core feature of HN to be negative and, as such, I've voted accordingly.

> The EU makes it as difficult as possible to 'secede'

What? Its simple to secede from the EU. You just declare that you are doing it, and two years later you are out. In those two years, you may or may not be able to negotiate terms with the EU to provide for other-than-default relations after you leave, but its not at all difficult to leave, except insofar as by leaving you risk losing all the benefits you gained from being in the EU (but if you thought that you were getting a net benefit from being in the EU, presumably you wouldn't be electing to leave in the first place.)
Not a serious question, but yeah, sometimes the sarcasm is too subtle. Poe's Law and all...
> I upvoted it, and am now explaining you why

Be careful with this. It's generally not a good idea to explain how/why you voted. It's really just for the person whose comment you voted on, and detracts from the conversation for everyone else. Most people will not care why or how any particular person voted.

> I kind of agree on you downvoting my comment for being off-topic, but is it really?

I wouldn't classify your comment as off-topic, but rather tangential and kind of uninteresting in the context of the initial question. It mostly feels like complaining about the voting system rather than discussion of the system. Complaints about downvotes are also generally discouraged (per HN guidelines), and while your initial comment was not a complaint about a specific comment being downvoted, it is still a complain about downvotes.

On the other hand, I did not downvote your second comment, because it's clearly relevant to the comment thread you started.
It has, it is shorter than before.
Because of how people, including myself, are using the game I think comparison to social networks is more than fair. I have never seen more people out downtown wandering around and talking to strangers.
> But regardless, the problem in Italy is simply that not enough people are paying back their loans.

Bingo! Guy who "owns" apartment upstairs from ours in Padova stopped paying for it several years ago. He doesn't pay the apartment fees either, meaning we have to pay for him. He had his furniture and other stuff repossessed a few years back. In short, as far as we can tell, he's insolvent. And yet, he's still there, and the bank won't take action against him, because if they do, then it shows up as 'bad debt', rather than 'temporarily in arrears' or whatever.

Yes, absolutely.

What's described in the doc seems to be an algo for snapping up everything that's available across the various markets at one instant in time (rarely that much).

If you try to grab $100M when there isn't that much around, you'll have to wait until someone puts in more orders so you can trade with them. Any market maker (including human ones) will not let you trade again at the same price if someone's just taken out the whole market, so your next tranche will be executed at a worse price.

Dripping the orders into the market is very common, but of course you leak the information by doing it. For the HFT however it isn't as obvious as seeing that an order must trigger an order on another venue (NBBO requirements) and just rushing to pull your orders from there or trading ahead of that order.
FWIW, if you actually want to participate in this, be advised that you have to get there extremely early to get a good spot. I remember going out in 2009 about a couple hours early and the main spots (such as the Tudor overpass [0], which is elevated over a main street and is situated about as far east as you can go without being in the river) were already staked out by folks with tripods and telephoto lens.

I ended up hopping in a cab and having the cab driver go up and down the midtown streets. Didn't get any iconic shots [1] but it was fun, as the cab driver was really into it. But even 7 years ago, pre-Instagram, crowds of people would step out in front of traffic to get a shot of Manhattanhenge.

Uber wasn't around back then. I wonder if you could get better shots than I did from the back of a taxi by riding shotgun?

Sure thing. :) And here's the OpenVMS & Windows connection in case you weren't aware of it:

http://windowsitpro.com/windows-client/windows-nt-and-vms-re...

Bill robbing Apple of GUI is well-known. Less known is he stole a more robust and secure architecture from OpenVMS that was most rock-solid of OS's. They managed to show what would happen if OpenVMS had no QA process during development. Yet, recent efforts have gotten Windows Server reliable enough that the connection is more believable. :)
This is again more political bullshit. I know exactly what is going to happen. We are again going to have 3 different ways to package containerized applications and someone is going to come along and create another `fpm` but this time for containerized applications. I'm going to go back to pretending that `deb` and `rpm` don't exist and my packaging format is `fpm`.
But "these people" are also "most people". "Most people" also don't use PGP, for many reasons, but IMO chiefly that it's hard to manage keys without outside (centralized) help. If Google managed PGP keys for you, there'd be little problem with muggles sending and receiving encrypted (albeit insecure) email.

Since Bitcoin needs a critical mass to be successful, centralized exchanges and wallets are needed to build it up so it's generally useful.
Yes, sorry about that.

We currently can’t scroll on the body element due to a limitation in Chrome, where an empty body layer is not being optimized. So we are scrolling in an element. However, that usually requires setting `-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;` so that you can scroll as usual on iOS. However, that in turn has a lot of hidden implications (like squashing layers, etc. Don’t know the details right now), that make performance suffer greatly.

AFAIK, Safari will change their scroll-on-element behavior. Let’s see what the future brings.

> you can't build a long enough train to exceed the limit.

You can definitely build long enough trains to blow past the limit several times, coal and ore trains are routinely 100+ cars long (with each car having at least 4 axles), the record is a BHP Billiton Iron Ore train of 682 cars and 8 locomotives.
I use the Hacker News Enhancement Suite Chrome extension for exactly that. (It also monkey with fonts and adds tagging a bunch more things, but I honestly only care about the comment folding).
"So they must have some positive effect on genetic fitness to even exist at all."

That's not true. There's a number of ways variants can exist without being fit. They can be regularly created by mutation, or they can increase due to genetic drift, especially in a bottleneck scenario. And there's even more ways that a phenotype can persist while being highly unfit - if it's a side-effect of a co-evolving pathogen, being one of them, as then the human natural selection is constantly fighting it but the pathogen easily evolves even faster.
okay if you polled average American and you know this as fact then I stand corrected.

Each country is different, and some have still real milk, but the product was kidnapped many years ago by enterprises and EU regulations and is worse each year.

When I was child, we drank real milk, directly from the cow and just boiled. Is a totally different product, with lots of fat. Milk today has the same flavor as sucking a whitewashed wall.

It would appear the maximum length of a train in Switzerland is 1500 meters which would push it well above 256 axles.

I disagree, I'm all for buying cosmetics etc (praise gaben) to support a game. But I fundamentally am not going to spend money to skip over an artificial timesink that only exists to get you to spend money to speed it up. That's not content, it's a joke.

The idea of the two suggested actions being "spend more money or close the game and wait 2 hours" should be indicative of how they view the player. I'm perfectly happy to just close the thing and go play something else.

Remote is still rare, it seems, because usual sweatshops are traditional habitat for pointy haired bosses and other parasitic "management".

For remote, the way Linux kernel or BSDs are being developed, one needs nothing but git, emacs and browser (well, in case of Linux also a working mail) and no management at all. How could, say, Amazon, even hypothetically switch to remote?

More seriously, there is no market for code - otherwise people would just pay per commit (passed all the tests) nice and easy. The problem is people with money doesn't need a mere good code, they need their positions, their bonuses, their status. They will pay you for filling a slot in the social hierarchy which supports them, not for your good code.

This is why, perhaps, remote works fine for "nonprofits", like FreeBSD, but for corporations it is still a heresy.

Again, there, it seems, is no demand for mere good quality code.

This, by the way, is connected with hiring. Almost no one hire for abilities, everyone is hiring for good school diplomas. (Which diploma Mike Pall has? Igor Sysoev was a college dropout).

If I am wrong, and there is a market for code - solved problem, pushed a commit, all tests passed, money transferred - please tell me, I would participate gladly.

One additional reason that I've observed to add to the list:

* Declining dominance of the Microsoft/Oracle hegemony in secondary markets

During the '90s Microsoft and Oracle were particularly effective at entering emerging markets and pushing their solutions to such a degree that "computer programmer" became synonymous with "Microsoft/Oracle developer". Thus, if you wanted to become a software developer in one of these markets, it meant learning C#/Java, along with all the ecosystem, tooling, and inevitably...lock-in.

Fast-forward 20 or so years, and the Open Source movement is finally beginning to crack that shell of lock-in. Anecdotally, when I first moved to Turkey 4 years ago, technology job sites almost exclusively listed C#/Java positions. Today, I know many Python, Ruby, Scala, Go, etc. developers living and working in Turkey, and there's been an explosion of related conferences, trainings, events, etc.

The one last hurdle I see that needs to be overcome in these places is the notion that developer education is as much a concern for those that employ developers as for the developers themselves. Pretty much all of the conferences/trainings have to be held over weekends because it is still difficult for developers to get time off during the week to attend. Once that bit of cultural shift happens, I only foresee this trend accelerating.
