Replacing the battery takes a couple minutes. Many of those carts are still running. The number of decent NES games that used battery saving can be counted on your hands, so to call it a LOT of pain might be exaggerating a little.
Couldn't reverse tracing work? A fed poses as a customer, and uses a PO Box to receive goods, but also registers this in the Fedex, USPS, UPS databases, such that if this address appears anywhere on a package, it is traced to determine the origin. Build a network over time, repeat.
I read it. I thought it was a blog post and not part of their guide; so I can take back the timeliness/repetitive part of my complaint.

I'm not complaining that it's feeding the holy war, just pointing out that it is one. My complaint is that we try to solve these issues with dogma, rather than expecting everyone to have a strong understanding of git, at which point all of the problems just sort of stop happening.

Why Do We Haggle for Cars?
The house is #204 out of 288 houses. Assuming the house itself isn't counted in either sum, which wasn't too clear by the question.

I got this by the definition of triangle numbers and solving n^2 = m(m+1)/2 for integer solutions. n is the house and m is the total of all houses. As usual, I have no idea how Ramanujan did this with cont. fractions.
The Technology Behind Pokémon Go: Why Augmented Reality Is the Future
This stuff is a fad, like the housing bubble and the .com boom. People who don't really understand technology or the internet or how people use both think they smell gold and they take us on these ridiculous roller coaster rides about "The next big killer app" or whatever. Then that app is dead in 5 years.

I guess if all one is interested in is making money, then good for them, kudos. But in the grander sense.. "the internet shrugged."
From the article:

Lepton can decompress significantly faster than line-speed for typical consumer and business connections. Lepton is a fully streamable format, meaning the decompression can be applied to any file as that file is being transferred over the network. Hence, streaming overlaps the computational work of the decompression with the file transfer itself, hiding latency from the user.

In my humble opinion, dropbox's image gallery webapp is considerably faster than any other I've seen, especially when compared to imgur.
Thanks for this. I've always been interested in flying and have only taken one lesson. However, I also have tendency towards hyperfocus and this comment has sufficiently frightened me.
Game Genie is why a lot of the older consoles have trouble connecting to cartridges; they built it with a slightly thicker interface, presumably to give it mechanical 'preference' over the game cart on removal, but it can permanently spread the console's pins.
Are there any new alternatives to c9? I used codebox before they shut it down, and really liked it. I like the flexibility of having a full-blown Ubuntu system to use as I develop, but the browser overhead of the editors for these things almost makes it not worth it. C9 was decent, but not at all ideal. I'd love to see a simple, bare-bones "just type text" editor, paired with a bare-bones VPS that I could tinker with as I like.

Will address all comments here -

You shouldn't be "forced" to see ads. Quality content can exist with and without ads. But, ads are the price to pay to visit one of these sites with ads. My suggestion was leading towards that if you don't like a site with ads, then don't visit it. As opposed to using an ad blocker as a filtering method.

With respect to "the web existed long before ads" - Water has also existed before water companies. If you don't like to pay them, you can't just hook in directly to their water lines and syphon it off to yourself and bypass payments. You could however go out and get your own. Just like you could create your own news stories, online games, sites etc without ads.

Your search engine idea is a novel one, and it'd be neat to see that exist.

I agree that the CEO who recently got dumped was a real piece of work, and that the culture in the company became toxic. But Dropcam is still decent, can't really screw something up too badly that worked well to begin with. It's still something that I find worth it because its one less thing to worry about.

You and Your Research by Richard Hamming (1986)
I was in a music store six months ago buying strings for my old squire electric. I was planning on actually sitting down and learning guitar -finally- after years of procrastination. As I approached the register I saw an old Danelectro convertible from 1966 hanging by the counter. Now I hadn't really any chops at all, I could bang on G C F progressions but not much else. But when I picked up that guitar I immediately played a beautiful country twanging melody and I was able to ride it into a nice satisfying ending. The guy behind the desk was surprised and starting asking me if I played in any bands / made musician small talk. I didn't know what to say, but I bought that guitar and have been playing on it so much since. Before that, I had been unable to concentrate and maintain a practice regimen past two weeks.

A poor craftsman might blame his tools, but the best tools do have history and lineage to them.
IMO, https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/tragic-loss definitely contains some spin, certainly where it compares Tesla autopilot with the worldwide safety record ("Worldwide, there is a fatality approximately every 60 million miles"), and neglects the fact that autopilot only works on the safest roads.

Western Europe has about half the traffic deaths per capita and per mile as the Americas, but by looking at the world, adding for example Africa with over ten times the number of deaths per capita or per km, that text manages to avoid telling that.

Many, many traffic deaths occur on roads in third-world countries where, likely, statistically few Tesla cars have been and even fewer have seen autopilot used.

In addition, Elon's text forgets to mention that cars that are newer or more expensive tend to be safer. Many of the cars involved in deadly crashes in the third world won't have working airbags, for example.

Pretty much this. 5% isn't bad, especially when you're working with something very unique. In that price range, you're buying your subjective taste in addition to the value.

Darknet markets are like Hydra with 10 heads, when Silk Road is taken down, more players entered and when one other dark-market owners closed shop and jumped with vendors bit-coins, new ones with multi-escrow showed up.

It's a real shame how the recession has hit STEM funding. There are a lot of really exciting new technologies that are simply not funded.

The private sector cannot innovate until monetization is in sight and the public sector is increasingly squeezed to publish papers with limited resources.

The overall effect is less innovation and bad science.
I agree that magic symbols make for worse experiences in general. However, this isn't a matter of using the in-site or not. The same thing gives the same results in a different tab for duckduckgo. DDG just needs to change their regular web results to include the top result or two of the other tabs. Especially when they are highly scored compared to the plain web results.
That is a common tactic used in cases like this.

Your code won't be as fast if your Swift types are copy-on-write wrappers around NSObject subclasses, instead of pure-Swift types.

I agree that you'll get the most coverage of potential developers by supporting both languages, but you're already doing the world a service by releasing open-source software. I don't think putting additional demands on maintainers (you must support CocoaPods, you must support Objective-C) is a reasonable request. If a consumer of the framework wants those features, they can submit a pull request (or just maintain the Podspec independently, as is done with ReactiveCocoa).
Sorry about that. It isn't the full answer though.
Since there is a smaller consumer spending pool to pull from, prices have risen faster on key products to make up for the lack of growth in wages.

Housing/rent, healthcare, tuition, food and many other things have risen dramatically. Some products have come down in price but that is typical with technology/entertainment products over time.

If you make products to sell to everyone, not just the wealthy, you have also probably noticed consumers having less money to spend. This is not good for the engine of the US that creates jobs, small to medium business. This is bad for both classes in the US: wealthy upper and lower plebs, the middle is just about gone.

If we want growth across the board, wages also have to grow, else stagnation for all from lower to upper, when did we forget this?
There are two important things here. One is that until you do a blind test, I wouldn't bet on your abilities. People think they can tell things and effects apart if they have a lot of experience. But it takes a proper experiment and they find out they just relied on their biases.

The second thing is that "proper experiment" I mentioned. It's one thing to tell someone they're getting Coke and Pepsi. It's another to tell them they get two new products (but actually Coke and Pepsi). Yet another to tell them they're getting Coke and Pepsi and give them generic-cola-1 and -2. All of those may tell you something interesting.

Check the paper "Blind Taste Test of Soft-drinks – A Comparison Study on Coke and Pepsi" - people actually can't identify the brand properly.
Mind blown: The article made me realize that you can generate one of those trippy "continued fraction" equalities any time you have x on both sides of the equation, one side by itself.

Golden ratio: x = 1 + 1/x -> keep re-plugging the right-hand side into the x on the RHS:

x = 1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/...
The FBI cannot legally trace USPS mail without a warrant, but can with Fedex, UPS, et. al. Almost all US darknet shipments go through USPS for this reason.
You can use chat. Say "@channel I need to fix to master, nobody merge for a minute".
Then I'm another example in a long line of examples that demonstrate that speculation doesn't always produce high quality results.

I've seen the holy war too, and I was impressed that this article took special care to stay completely out of it. I didn't see any dogma at all in this case, I saw helpful suggestions educating people about git and about when to make the call.
I downvoted it because of the suggestion that the only reason anyone would be a "merge person" is because they are afraid or stupid.

It isn't helpful in any discussion to just say "side X are afraid and stupid.", and especially not without a good justification.

No-one has (I believe) ever thought "Oh wow, I didn't realise I was being afraid and/or stupid, thanks for telling me. Now I'll change sides".
China's strategy of building their own islands seems to have been overruled as well, although I think the wrinkle of datacenter islands being in (previously?) international waters might be different enough.

What happens if an underwater volcano goes off one night, and the next morning there's a new island in international waters? Presumably there wouldn't be any guano to fall prey to the US Guano Islands act [1].

> ... most western workers can afford much more from their flattened or fallen income than they could 10 years ago ...

Afford much more of what?

It's probably easy to find evidence that computing power in a smartphone is more affordable.

But, can people now afford more quality in their children's education or their family's health care?

And what about food? Maybe the price per calorie has actually decreased in real terms, but what about the quality of those calories? Is a calorie of corn equivalent to a calorie of fresh fruits and vegetables?

And housing? Is a condominium equivalent to a house with a yard? etc.

It seems like a mixed picture. Some things are more affordable, but some other important things appear to be more expensive.

I wouldn't mind if it were just the fact that the Wii Classic Controller is wired. What bugs me is that the cable is really, really short: only long enough to run into something that you'd be expected to hold in your lap. Of course, that's exactly the use case it was designed for, so it made sense in that context. But it causes problems when you then want to plug it into something several feet away, like, say, the console.
Disappointed that they made the "cut here" cable so obvious. With the giant case, they could have included a battery to give it some runtime once the wire is cut.
Not all moot with HD; we have new and exciting problems! Now we have issues with poor-quality cables not being able to negotiate 4K 60hz 4:4:4 chroma, the Vizio 2016 P series negotiating 4:4:4 but actually doing 4:2:2 internally ( https://hardforum.com/threads/2016-vizio-p-series.1896948/ // http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/vizio/p-series-2016 if you're curious , there is also a long thread on AVSForum), etc. Good times.

Ctrl-F'd the thread to find this.

Gimp, no matter its merits, will never be taken seriously as a Photoshop alternative by designers until it has rock-solid CMYK support. Even though most designers I know, myself included, are desperate to get out from Adobe's grip.

As an aside, I recently led the switch in our studio from Photoshop to Sketch: the designers were literally bouncing in their chairs for joy as they realised how much better it was.
That they can afford more, I would assume, is because things are cheaper. clarified below

To me it feels like quality of living per dollar has risen tremendously over the past generation, but income per household hasn't. So while quality of living overall has improved, it doesn't 'feel' like it with regards to individual wealth. That is to say, an upper-middle class person 15 years ago might feel lower-middle class today even with a better QoL overall.

I would definitely agree that this kind of stagnating income in the middle class is a large part of what is pushing these nationalist/populist movements.

It's definitely not a popular sentiment on HN at the moment(nationalism), but I can definitely see the allure; especially for the lower-middle class who have lived through the past ~15 years and aren't seeing the same increase in wages/authority that the previous generation did.

Personally I have yet to see a real cogent argument for why globalism would help here at all with regards to the growing income inequality in developing nations. From my perspective a single centralized government(e.g.: the EU) can only really benefit the multinational corporation and almost by definition be of detriment to the individual nation-states.

It's hard to really grok the reality of the situation from unemployment/income statistics because they don't really tell the whole tale and of course because I'm neither an economist nor a statistician.

Lastly, I don't think it can really be ignored that this is the fastest changing world our species has ever had to adapt to.

I love technology, of course, but I don't think it's impact has been _only_ good. Looking at pictures of previous generations you can't help but notice the upright postures and healthy bodies that are so often missing from today's populace. Not trying to be a luddite here, and you can of course so,

Edit: to clarify 'because things are cheaper', I'm speaking of disposable items and food, as was stated by another commenter "stuff you can buy in a store"

In fact, I think an important aspect of this discontent is the increasing cost of housing/healthcare relative to income.
I disagree with the bulk of this article. It certainly varies a lot of by field but in biophotonics I've seen a lot of extremely poor candidates, people who say things like "I don't do math", "I don't want to teach", "MATLAB is for other people", "I'm not a biologist so I can't explain my work".

When I first started I thought these people sucked, and I was going to be great. What I learned is that the graduate development opportunities are rare, and many of the reason people suck are beyond their control. For example, working on tedious projects or bullshit projects, do to your PI's conflict of interest. Or simply put that your research rests on a foundation of lies.

So, on one hand we have many people on the other hand we don't have many qualified people.

As I’ve said, there are some countries like Germany, given its history with the Stasi, that are very sensitive to these issues.
