Every time there is a rush to the good ol' terminal - big computer days people remember that we aren't connected 24/7 and cloud applications work best in the conditions where having a big box under your desk isn't an inconvenience.

Considering that "smartphones" (or any other similar device) is used often when there is no effective connectivity, and even when there is one you usually pay a higher penalty for using that connectivity as far as your battery life goes than using the onboard processing power - this is because the presentation layer costs just the same, your hardware power consumption (screen, sensors, audio, memory etc.) are almost the same, and the CPU is often more power efficient than your radio even at pretty intensive tasks.

I don't want to be rude but this seems really backwards. Starting with a name and working your way back to the business plan via crowdsourcing?

The questions in the survey seem ludicrous. "What can we do to improve our offering?" -- "Compared to the competition, what would you say makes SalaryMuncher.com distinctive and unique?" -- it's unique in that it offers no value and distinct in that it consists only of a survey.

If I'm being paranoid it seems like a subtle way to market "typeform" or a clever way to solicit email addresses.

> "So my hope, as I lay out in my book, is a fairly modest one. I think people will continue to hate each other for the foreseeable future in the Middle East, and for understandable reasons. But my hope is that they can learn to hate each other through peaceful, political processes, without resorting to violence. From the standpoint of American or Western observers, part of what we need to do is to come to terms with the fact that Islam is going to continue to play a prominent - even central - role in public life in much of the Middle East and beyond. And that entails challenging our own assumptions."

This will never happen, here on Earth. You'll never have hate without violence.

"For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother.... Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him."

I imagine that plays a small role if any. Instead, it's a common trope in these countries to blame some external power for their problems - in other words, it's not always the US(though it certainly often is, considering how influential the country is).

you consider 5.5% of the money supply a good participation rate?

In the voting on the pools, 80% of people didn't even vote.

Therefore it is simply the fact that the fork was the default choice (and is the default in all the wallets), that is the deciding factor of this 'vote'

By the way, "> 80% of the hash power was pro-fork." is demonstrably false. only 15% of the hashing power was pro fork, 85% of miners didnt vote at all.

You're casually implying that the tradeoff for the more affordable rent in Chicago is a greater likelihood of being the victim of gun violence. While it is a major problem, that's not the nature of gun violence here. It is highly localized to communities below the poverty level. If you're willing to casually and irresponsibly reduce the Chicago gun violence issue to a flip claim like this, then I have little faith in your ability to faithfully summarize the taxation situation (which seems to be a correct deduction based on the holes everyone is pointing out here.)

Apple locks in its users far more than razor companies do. A Gilette customer can switch to DSC at basically no cost. They're buying razors regularly anyway, so they start saving money the moment they switch. The only question is how well the new razors actually work for the customer.

For an Apple customer switching to the Apple version of DSC, first they're probably dropping a significant chunk of money to switch. Yes, the Apple-DSC will be cheaper, but phones aren't a consumable product the way razors are, so there's also the possibility of just spending nothing and keeping your current Apple phone. Then if you do make the switch, you lose all your apps, you lose the ability to iMessage and FaceTime your friends, you lose easy access to your iCloud photos and notes, and more.

You can do this with a .reg file.

Just need to set everything in:

HKCU/AppEvents/Schemes/Apps/.Default/[Sound Name]/.Current/(Default) to null.

Easiest way is just to set "No Sound" on an example user, then Export the entire .Default tree, you can then re-import the .reg file into a different user and have no sound on there too.
Ethereum is a human construct; written by humans, directed by humans, and facilitated by humans (no skynet has come along to do mining). Ipso facto, it is fallible just like humans.

You think it is a bad thing that this has happened; I think it is a good thing. Now everyone is aware that the 51% can take control of the chain; you can't pretend any more that the code is the final arbiter, because it isn't. Black and white is a myth; it's a human construct that is made from mathematics and many shades of grey.

Democracy; it sucks, but it sucks less than everything else.

Yes, I am well aware Twitter has no obligation to maintain a censorship free platform, and indeed doing so may not make good business sense.

I was simply pointing out that for a brief time, Twitter was a unique Internet platform: both well known (celebrities and politicians use it) and free of censorship. Plenty of sites are censorship free but they are esoteric and laregly unknown to the general population. I admired that Twitter was a popular platform with unrestricted free speech.

What's funny is that the message in Bitcoin's genesis block is about this. The idea of doing something better than current financial systems gained traction after the US Fed hard forked the dollar to fix the housing bubble crash.

Ask HN: What do I do with ~$10k and all the time in the world
I have a background in engineering, somewhat full-stack with emphasis on back-end and iOS, but I want to stay away from tech for a while.

I'm relocating from NYC to Europe with ~10k and tons of time. I'm open to any city that's dynamic and green enough, and thinking about opening a coffee shop, because I want to spend more time with people. I can't bear sitting in front of a screen for entire days anymore.

I also want to solve significant problems. I'm considering the field of mechanical engineering to maybe solve problems in the defense field.

I also like what Blake Mycoskie did with Tom's, and that inspires me.

Whatever I do, I'd like to avoid raising money from investor, by growing organically if that's the right term.

I love the stl, it's almost always the best thing to use in C++ (wrt Cost/Benefit, love me some vectors). My comment was geared to someone who does "Java, C#, Ruby, Python, [and] JavaScript" programming. The most notable omissions in the c++ stl is GUI stuff, which comes standard in C# and Java.

As an aside, TDD and refactoring also aren't as mature in C++ (vs Java, C# and Javascript).

I vaguely remember reading about a study where a person walked out into a cornfield that was frequented by crows every morning. Every day he'd carry a loaded rifle, but on some mornings the rifle would be internally disabled.

Although there was no way to tell visually if the rifle was capable of firing or not, the crows would immediately disperse on days when it was, and would ignore the man on days when it wasn't.

The assumption was that they based their reaction on unconscious body language, which seems rational enough.
The US is hardly a good comparison: the US constitution is deeply anti-democratic when compared to other liberal democracies, and even when compared to the States of the US because it is almost impossible to amend ( http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/view_from_ch... ). The fact that judges are forced to invent new rights in the U.S. because a bunch of long-dead guys couldn't predict the future is, in itself, a symptom of a flawed system.
As a Danish person living in China, I don't know how to feel about this.

In some weird way, I think it was a good thing this got delivered to the China visa office and not next door to them, in which case we would probably never have heard about this mistake and for sure it wouldn't be top post here. There is a good headline to be found in this story, as I have just discovered when browsing the Danish news.

If this information is handled so recklessly and so nonchalant, it makes me wonder what other people within Denmark also have access to this information. Students, secretaries, interns? Can I register as a scientist and get access? Who exactly has access to my information? I would like to know the answer to this question.

I know that visa office and have been there many times. It is not a Chinese government run operation but a private company handling the incoming paper work for visa applications, which get submitted for review at the Chinese run Chinese embassy :P
That still doesn't make it reliable. If it's known the DOM changes regularly and breaks this api library, then why bother in the first place? Sure you can fix it yourself, but why not avoid the hassle and use something standard that doesn't break as much.

Here's the open source definition:

Gitlab EE, which is how Gitlab makes its money, comes nowhere close to meeting that. It's pretty much straight up corporate dishonesty to pretend to be an open source company when you're following a proprietary software model to make money.

You're no more an "Open Source Company" than Apple or Microsoft, who also have some open source projects separate from their main revenue streams.

Tailor accordingly.

The issue is that gmail will update at anytime, without warning, so there will always be a period when your service will break. And you need to have unit tests running often to figure out when it breaks, and have a dev on call 24/7 to ensure a speedy fix.

If (huge if, I know) people learn from what just happened, there at least won't be another $100 million target to exploit. The NewDAO should see much less investment until it's actually proven. Of course, it may well not happen that way.
I think that many people miss the most important thing here: it is not important if a currency hard-forks or not - what is important is that it can.

I have no confidence that Bitcoin or any other currency doesn't fork in the future, because it is possible at any moment. The fact that the fork has happened or not changes nothing - it always stays as a possibility.

In other words the chance of Ethereum or Bitcoin hard-forking in the future wouldn't change if the hard-fork didn't happen right now.

Without disclosing things I shouldn't disclose (professionally if not legally), a lot of the acqusition was acquihire and then went on to cognitive services.

A lot of what the powersetters did was bring their expertise in indexing in. The Powerset indexing requirements were fairly intense, so bing getting those was a big leg up over the previous (good, but somewhat less informed) work.

A lot of the stuff we had at Powerset as custom services is now in Google and MS cognitive services. It's so cool to have access to those tools again. Luis.ai is really really fun to use lately.

One way to justify it might be to consider this a beta period. It is still early days for this new currency and perhaps when the system is more robust, they will be able to walk away.
