For users? Probably not. For ad companies? Absolutely.

I don't mean this maliciously towards you or advertisers, but you need to understand that advertisers see the world through ad-tinted glasses - you can tell it based on how they try to sell physical ad-space. A billboard will gleefully tick away with "number of people who would have seen your ad". Placards above urinals or in stalls in bathrooms will talk to you about "now this is captive audience". A person isn't a person, they're a demographic of set {male, gay, republican, gunowner, iphoneuser} or any series of fields.

I do agree, it's annoying and as a person, insulting to have companies prying away at my privacy just to try to sell me stuff I don't want or need, or sometimes already have. (just looknig at skype right now on my work machine, it's trying to sell me Office 365 when we're married to the Windows Environment already) But I'm not an advertiser - I don't see the world through their eyes, and they would make far less money if they saw the world through my eyes.

A good advertiser isn't really congruent with respecting privacy or letting things be, and sometimes the difference that jumping on a trend like this can make is "selling [100] good burgers" a day versus "selling [500] good burgers" a day. Even if your burgers stand on merit, if you had the metrics to show that you could quintuple sales, wouldn't you try at least? Even if you fell as short as 1.5(burgers_sold) compared to 5(burgers_sold), you'd still likely make more than you spent on the ad.

It sucks, but as much as they're jerks for doing it, we're suckers that keep on buying and making it work, or at least we make it look like it works.
Sad that some people can't access Pokémon. But also sad that we live in a world where the government gets involved with this stuff. There are voluntary ways to resolve this, either by a coalition of consumers and business that are for accessible products.

But at some point a game needs to be hard in order to be challenging, so I don't think lowering the difficulty is the best way forward. The Olympics have a special olympics. But I don't think pokemon should be forced to make an easy mode.
> That sounds like mainly an education problem. Why can't that be fixed by a public awareness campaign informing people of other supermarkets.

Someone would need to pay for it and its likely part of what they want money from Google for.
Understanding Line, the chat app behind 2016’s largest tech IPO
Shouldn't this article have appeared in Nurture magazine?
As the author, yes.

The team I was previously with used Core API in some of https://www.crunchboards.com/

That's got a service-based architecture, and we were using it both on the server side (where we wrote explicit Core API schemes, rather than auto-generated) and on the client side (moving towards doing our inter-service communication using `coreapi`, rather than directly through `requests`.)

For us, the dynamic client libraries were a big win - the client code that you're working with becomes more meaningful and robust, as it's working with an application layer abstraction, rather than directly at a network layer.
Nice! Great performance on Chrome.
Wow thanks for this! I'll definitely use these guys in the future.
I feel the same.... a 37-ish here! ;-)
Another way to think about them is that the best craftsmen of a few hundred years ago can make violins that are every bit as good as the ones we do today, but the difference is that we can crank them out (as far as $100,000 objects can be "cranked out") to an extent unimaginable by Stradivarius or his contemporaries. After all, $100,000 is cheaper than most dwellings in the developed world, whereas even during his lifetime a Stradivarius violin would have cost much more than an average house.
Well my parents had odd tastes. My dad loved Led Zeppelin but also had plenty of cassettes of Louis Armstrong. But predictably hip-hop was never in my dad's collection (nor mine at least for my teen years). Now I listen to everything from synthwave to Chinese opera. I don't know why but I think it's because the variety of music my parents consumed exposed me to different structures in music even if it's of the same genre. So I think I pick up on that commonality that all music seems to contain. I think it's not so much tastes that matter but how much variety you get in exposure to music to be able to appreciate music you've rarely, if ever, heard.
> Snapchat is far more than a selfie-app

Yeah, a "selfie-app" is basically a "messaging app that is used primarily to send pictures".

SEC Whistleblower Program https://www.sec.gov/whistleblower
Kubernetes 1.3: Hidden Gems
@jgrahamc: Do you think it would be feasible to add clearer notification about potentially creating a false sense of security to the Cloudflare ui, when no origin SSL is present? What Cloudflare calls "Flexible SSL" has real implications and I think one of the necessary evils of infosec work is pushing people towards more informed decision making.

As a frequent Cloudflare freeloader and occasional paying customer (lots of different hats), I really appreciate how the service made it possible to use SSL for free, before it was cool.

With Let's Encrypt being implemented at a lot of hosting providers and hosting automation systems over time, I think the following may become a diminishing problem.

But in cases where, let's say, a "not top tier" hosting solution makes it impossible to use any sort of SSL/TLS back to the origin server (within the customer's budget), my personal choice has been to not defaulting/redirecting sites to Cloudflare's SSL.

And I mean, it's not like crappy hosting without Let's Encrypt automation or the ability to add Cloudflare's origin CA, is going away. One of Cloudflare's selling points at the low end, is how the service stretches the capabilities and resources of less than optimal hosting and apps. I mean, the idea of running Wordpress without Cloudflare or a similar service in front, really gives me the heebie jeebies.

Not going half-way with SSL is sort of an ethical choice for me, exactly for the reason of not wanting to give a false sense of security, even at the cost of Google juice.

I'm technically proficient enough to understand that client -> Cloudflare https connections can stop a lot of ISP/last mile/LAN level tracking and code injection, though. And obvioulsy, Cloudflare is a MiTM. So it's a real choice with tradeoffs.

But I work at a grass-roots level where I usually am the only person tangible IT skills. When it comes down to it, I feel quite strongly that we should avoid messing with people's already vague understanding of what that "green lock" means.
I suspect they might be (justifiably given things that have occurred in Ingress) worried about PvP spilling outside of the small screen.
Dgraph – Release v0.4
Lying to the SEC is a crime. "It was an accident" doesn't really cut it with financial institutions data handling and development practices.
As a collector I will buy this anyway, but I also must admit that the games included are actually very good ones.

For example some great games like Final Fantasy 1 were never released in Europe.

Also the controller can be useful for those that want to play games from the Wii Virtual Console.
Parent suggested deploying TLS from origin to Cloudflare would resolve this. Simply pointing out that it will not.

They would have to buy thru Google since it's a Google spin out. However, Google SDK isn't present in the app now. Unity SDK is in for the game engine and it's the same SDK that can serve ads. https://medium.com/@kevinleong789/what-sdks-does-pokemon-go-...
Agreed. The Libertarian in me doesn't like this type of government intervention.

But, the ADA is the law of the land. No getting around it.

> I don't expect that, but I do expect that a company not immediately kowtow to an infringement request if there is some ambiguity as to whether it's infringing.

That requires money for a lawyer to evaluate it. If the customer has their own legal staff that does this and relays that opinion to the host, as well as being large enough to cover any legal costs DO might incur, DO would be fine with it.

You are basically saying you are entitled to using DO's legal staff and financial resources in addition to the hosting you've paid for.
> ..those people like who are knowledgeable about and skilled in music themselves?

This is an age-old question and implies that aesthetic judgements can only be made through knowledge. The Pop revolution that started in the 1950s pretty much destroyed the argument (only to have Rock music - as opposed to Pop - make similar elitist arguments). Jazz and Classical music continue to make those claims (and then complain they don't attract bigger audiences).

Good music is that which moves you. No more, no less. If it doesn't move you, it doesn't make it bad, it just means you need to find something different to listen to.
> I want to write code on a 2 lb MacBook, with continuous build-as-you-type in the cloud on a fleet of Xeons that have larger CPU caches than my entire project.

Your editor doesn't need to run remotely in order to do this; it just needs to be able to run things remotely in order to do it.

> I want my editor, exactly as I left it, down to the open tabs and cursor position, on any machine.

You could build this from syncthing and emacs, if you wanted.

> And pair-programming Google docs simultaneous-edit style, without either party giving up the ability to run/debug the software on their own.

You can do this, too, with emacs. It's just a simple matter of programming.

Why spend time reinventing the wheel when there's already a network-aware, extensible editor with man-centuries (man-millennia?) of extensions already built?
Why you're in Operations or Technology in large financial companies, you're confronted with 'could do better' issues all of the time. All of the time. The more issues the greater the legacy of the system you're working on, as in this case, functionality has been altered from the original vanilla system (here, alphanumeric field type replacing a numerical feed type, the the documentation not being updated/references/or probably in an unreferenced document documenting the original system).

Spotting these things is a _fantastic_ way for a VP to get on the fast-track to Director. And it is fantastic, as a Director, to have people on your team actively looking for holes.

Why?

Because Operational Control is a #1 strategic target for all banks. $7million is nothing. At an extremely senior level this is evidence that a culture of transparency and compliance exists in the company, and ammo the next time the SEC or FED express a 'concern'. At a low level it is a Director or VP demonstrating to their boss that they understand the strategic direction, and that under their watch nothing big is going to blow up, nothing $7billion big; something $7million big is nothing, they know their boss knows this and will get a thank you for it being raised.

So you tell the directors. You make a nice PPT and include it in 'initiatives' when a senior visitor comes to visit and gets a de-brief on your department. You make sure it's carefully and clearly explained, so they can explain it to their boss in a nice, pro-active, continuous improvement kind of manner.

A bank which does not operate like this, in the post 2008 era of regulatory punishment for purgery, is an organisation with a very short future.

> Inside

It is currently not an issue but just imagine that something like Facebook/Twitter/Instagram explodes into AR space and _everybody_ starts using it as their main mode of interaction with people. If Burgerking buys all the virtual ad-space inside every McDonalds location then you can be sure that there will be lawsuits.
Problems with the Node.js event loop
You are right. I was thinking about my previous statement later on and realized, that it is meant and is able to fully replace standard IDEs. What I meant was more like "you can keep your IDE if you like it" type of think.
I find it interesting that the Google SDK isn't in it. Also why would they have both Crashlytics and Apteligent/Crittercism? Don't they do the same thing?
And anyone entering their business would have to as well. The large banks are happy to have these regulations in some ways as it makes it hard for midsized banks to grow and compete with them.
That is not true or true only very strictly speaking.

There is this thing called a "dominant position". There are formulas which are used to calculate if a company has a dominant position. If they do have, it is up to the court to decide whether they are abusing their dominant position.
You can't prove intent.

However, you can consider the formal specification of your intent (the type), to be an example of fully declarative programming.

Since you write your type without any care about how it might be executed -- the holy grail of abstraction -- you are less likely to make errors.

When using a type system that isn't capable of fully specifying what you're doing (i.e. Haskell), you are of course subject to making implementation errors within the range of possible programs that type check. But in practice it's usually enough to catch the sorts of mistakes that you're likely to make.
The monthly subscription option for Photoshop ended my occasional tinkering with Gimp. When I need it, I buy it for a month ($30) and get done what I need to get done. It really doesn't need to save me much time to pay for itself.
Totally makes sense. Many of our applicants have read the whole handbook by the time they have their final interview. One person remarked: 'I know more about your company than the one I currently worked at for three years'. Because our issue trackers are also open (for example https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/marketing/issues ) people can see how we actually work. It really helps letting people know what they are signing up for.
Nintendoland on WiiU has ton of fun simple games some of which are just point-and-click, some are just movement; really good with younger kids IMO.

For HTTP, yes. There are thousands of other protocols that rely on TLS though.

SNK aren't Nintendo and therefore don't have the same rabid fanboys backing them.
Obviously, most apis themselves were done at the iphone launch, and wouldn't take much more work.

The rest, all the infrastructure needed to have a working app store would be a much more substantial project. It is this part that would be difficult to build in a single year, and would have had to be in the pipeline when Jobs made his statement.
> It's clearly marketed to a not-technically-skilled market

I'm not sure that is entirely true. I know of several people who work in IT and use them. Any decent outdoor IP camera is going to cost at least $100 and $10/month is worth the convenience for some people.

My own experience with cameras was using a foscam IP camera as a baby monitor a few years ago. Setup was fine but the UI was horrible - very slow and filled with lag.

> My immediate thought is "security moms" ... voted for Bush... substantial segment of the SUV market.

I think the market extends beyond a stereotype. None of the other people I mentioned above voted for Bush or even have kids. Personally, I've been looking for an outdoor camera to deter the random kids we have had try to break into a hot tub in our yard and to deter someone breaking into a car parked outside. I don't have time these days to mess around with a self hosted solution so this is a potential option.
> Beginners no longer have to setup their own machine/server, they can simply create an account on c9.io, they don't even have to pay for it and bam you have a full ubuntu workspace ready instantly without any effort

I already have a full Linux workspace ready instantly. I'm typing this in it right now. It's my laptop.

Linux is so simple to use now that my liberal-arts relatives are using it. Why use expensive, legacy, less-powerful OSes like Windows or macOS when Linux is available? Why run something over a net link when Linux can run locally?
First, it's not a scientific paper. Second, it's highly unlikely that he wrote the entire thing himself.

Yeah, this is tempting, but an SNES version would be much more interesting
AR ads can be highly specific. If you are casino A then you want to reach all the people who usually go to casino B. What is the best way to reach those? Buy all the virtual ad-space at the location of casino B. This will be more effective than any Google Adsense or Facebook campaign.
Apple does not control 90% of the smartphone market. If they did, they will face the same problems. Much like Microsoft did in the late 90s.

Coke and Pepsi seem to have the same amount of sugar according to WolframAlpha: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=sugar+per+100g+of+peps...
That's accurately named, though. It's values are the arguments that were passed to the function. A hypothetical parameters object would presumably tell you what parameters the function was declared with, e.g.

function foo(a, b, c) {
return parameters;
}

would return ['a', 'b', 'c']
I think they're really separate stories and items. Big news events always generate multiple submissions, I think that's ok and that it's fine to let the HN community decide which should rise to the top
That's a question of supply and demand in housing. If you use a conservative 35% debt to income, then at $15 an hour, the mortgage + tax + hoa/fees should be at $910 per month. Not much, but if it's two income household, then it's $1820 or $200k plus purchasing power at today's rates.

In LA that will not get you much, but in many other markets it will.
I can't wait to pick one of these up and play it with my daughter. She's almost 4 and plays games on my cell phone all the time. She gets the basic concepts behind simple games like these already due to the ease of using a touchscreen interface, so I'll be curious to see how quickly she can pick up on a tactile input like this. Maybe we will start with something small like Pac-Man.
Most people have Facebook accounts, so they wouldn't see the login screen that you see.
Is anyone else tired of the mega cliche fumbling boss who makes the designer do extra work by changing his mind? Honestly this type of stuff irritates me because it shows you don't especially know what you're doing, because you can't get the other person to see your vision. Part of the job is learning to work with people who can't quite "see" it and need your help. In 10+ years of designing and programming sites for clients, I've never once had a situation like this. If someone is stuck on a bit, I help them, or discover and piece out what they really want by talking with them, finding many examples of what they do like, explaining the UI/UX choices from a usability point of view, etc.
So you agree that Microsoft was fine to put IE as the default browser I guess. I see the same rationale, and I'd be OK as long as we give companies the same fair treatment.
LN is a theory, not a production system. I much doubt it will reach full production stage ever. Bitcoin wasn't at all designed for anything remotely like it. My bet would be on a new system & coin.
Another difference being that the Genesis one is a licensed third party.

The genesis one is pretty bad quality and while it has some good games built in there's lots of not very good one off third party games the creator built in for increased gamecount.
If this existence is all some sort of a really complex TV Show for computer AI, I would find it very funny if there was a scene where Trump and Clinton secretly plan about how to get a Democrat in the white house, meanwhile Thiel and Gary Johnson hatch a plan (after Trump's early success at torpedoing the GOP nomination process) to back Trump so that the disaffected GOP members go Libertarian and break the two party race that has been dominating American politics; but Gary is so anti-war and pro-pot that he pulls enough younger democrats off Hilary in just the wrong states to where Trump actually wins the electoral college votes even though by the popular vote Clinton still wins.
Have you considered open salaries (just the formula really would be all that was needed) like Buffer?
That is probably the only talk at the convention that I would be interest to hear.
My local pub is a pokemon gym, so they got something right at least. Planning on going for lunch there tomorrow because of that, so I wouldn't discount the potential opportunities for local business advertising.

The real question is how do businesses get their location in the game? My local is older than the USA so I can imagine how it's a point of interest, but your average high street store?

Maybe they could sell micro-lures that have a very limited proximity. Instead of being a broad region, you have to actually get very close to the shop.

Sorderini was pleased and no one was offended.

c9 has a very low entry bar. It's not reinventing the wheel, it's improving it. You can't really compare a terminal based editor, with an extremely high learning curve, to a preconfigured web based IDE.

I meant you could do the development on inexpensive consumer hardware, without even a developer license. Then, when you have something worthwile to show a publisher, you could arrange a devkit.
There's also the survivor bias. The garbage instruments where thrown away years ago and the ones that survived were the best.
Coke has a slight vanilla flavor that Pepsi doesn't have. I generally prefer Pepsi to Coke, but sometimes I have a taste for Coke because of that slight vanilla flavor.

On the other hand, I tend not to drink pop for long periods on end. My first pop in a long while always tastes incredibly syrupy, to the point where it's borderline unpalatable. If I have more than a couple of pops in a short period it starts tasting like what I 'remember' it tasting like.
Interesting, somehow this project didn't come onto my radar. I was just about to start using Flask to build a REST API for our Oracle database. Definitely checking this out instead.
