i agree. this way unilever is getting a foothold in another category in which they can undermine P&G's profits, even though in a bit by bit fashion. they will surely bundle DSC concept with existing personal care portfolio. on the contrary, p&g is galaxies far from hurting unilever's profit maker : ice cream business. still it is clear that gillette acquisition was the best thing p&g did in its his entire history. they wouldn't have survived profit-wise otherwise.

IMHO, DSC model (subscription based company directly owning supplier to consumer chain, offering nice price + convencience) is the way to disrupt incumbents in consumer goods even though they will never get as big or as strong. there are lots of products which we do not care which brand we purchase as long as a certain level of quality and on-time sufficient delivery is ensured. i would definitely subscribe to a service which analyzes my consumption and delivers all "non-critical" products to my home/work location.

That was what the nukes and large tank forces were there to prevent. There's a big difference between parking them in friendly countries which have asked for them as part of mutual defence against said invasion, versus destabilising other countries in order to install compliant governments so you can park your tanks there.

There is always the question of how much the cold war created its own reaction: on the other side there would have been generals talking up the risk of "unconstrained US expansion into the western USSR".

Previous experience tells me that developers will use this "feature" and write software that requires users to have it enabled.

Previous examples for example being software that requires Microsoft SQL server to be installed on client machines as the software needs certain dll files that comes with Microsoft SQL server.

Don't mistake me for being particularly starry-eyed about American imperial ambitions, or America in general; I'm a nationalist by default, because I'd rather live in a strong country than a weak one, not because I'm especially in love with its frankly rather adolescent national mythos.

That said, based on all the historical evidence I've seen, if I had to choose between living in an American satrapy or a Soviet one, I'd take the former without a qualm. US history isn't without its stains, but in all things there are degrees, and to claim there's nothing to choose between the two powers is arrantly ahistorical.
I like to have a clear title and opening purpose statement at the top, to set the direction for the rest of the resume.

In fact you already have something to work with in this quote: "I'm an all-round developer who cares about getting things done and uses whatever means are best for the job. I'm able to learn/understand tech quickly but this is just a means to an end. I like to focus on the team and there interaction / openness." (but fix the sp of "there interaction")

If the audience sees something like "Senior Software Engineer" followed by the above paragraph it helps them understand how you see yourself fitting into the organization.

Next I would follow with a simple tabular format of skills (languages/frameworks/platforms for example) that is quickly scannable and has been pruned to remove outdated or out of favor technologies.
Just curious. Are you proficient iin both java and objective c, as in you developed both the apps natively. Again, how dependent it is on a web service? Did you do the back end yourself too?

I want to add:

Linode, Slicehost, Rackspace, and other good hosts have been around way before AWS and offer very good VPS services that one can scale with ease. Auto scaling is not unique to Amazon. It isn't a cloud thing either. One could scale quite flexibly for at least 20 years now.

Unfortunately all the misinformed boot camp coding hipsters don't know their history but love to be plenty opinionated about technology as an artistic movement. And you get these wide reaching grabs for whimsical awe, full of misinformation.

Dollar Shave Club was nothing but a marketing success. The tech has absolutely nothing to do with it. Cute narrative attempt, I guess.

The only difference between him ridiculing other people (and his followers then acting out) and e.g. Kim Kardashian calling Taylor Swift a liar (and her followers then acting out) is that Kim has more followers to do the harassing for her, if she wants it or not.

Lady Gaga tweeted the Jennifer Lawrence nudes in a massive error in judgment, yet she is not suspended, 50 cent tweeted "Perez hilton calld me douchebag so I had my
homie shoot up a gay wedding. wasnt his but still made me feel better.", but Milo retweeting something he may or may not have known is allegedly a faked tweet apparently is far worse and crosses a line.

Milo sure has controversial opinions but so do tons of other people. Yet when he expresses them (like his "feminism is cancer" stunt) he gets sanctioned for it, while other people do exactly the same thing (#killallwhitemen) and get of scot-free.

Twitter is very inconsistent when handling what it considers "abuse", and it sure looks like this has to do with their own political bias. On one hand, them being a private company, it is totally fine, on the other hand, I still don't have to like that they market themselves as the townhall for everybody and beacon of free speech when in fact they are not, nor do I have to like it when they censor people who might not be nice, but not criminal either.

What I found most valuable: what he tells entrepreneurs they don't need to spend a lot of time on, in building the company and in presenting it. I've seen so many decks and pitches devoted to the team's credentials and past work experience, and about deals they've done or are doing.

So Michael is saying something useful: we're willing to invest in a team with no credentials, no deals, no business development. Other things are more important. Things that are democratically available to us: building product, iterating with small customers, clarity of communication.

This is on Microsoft as much as it's on the said devs - Windows packaging/distribution is such a mess - registry being the primary source of problems. And Microsoft doesn't do a good job of packaging stuff.

At least they are moving in the right direction with .NET core and nuget, ship the whole VM with the app, reference stuff that you need as packages - hopefully you will be able to zip the dist folder and everything will run without the user needing to install anything.
The logic (agree with it or not) is that the biggest threat to homosexuals in 2016 is Islam and Sharia. There are 1.5 billion Muslims in the world, at least half who want homosexuality banned. And Muslim countries are much more likely to legislate religious doctrine than Western countries right now.

Conservatives tend to be more combative with Islam than liberals are, so the thinking is it's logical to be Conservative now if you want to push gay rights forward. Especially since the Orlando massacre which saw a Muslim terrorist kill 50 unarmed gays.

Okay thanks. I will remove digital ocean, my mistake. Linode and Slicehost I have used for many many years though so I'm sure those are correct.
I have read somewhere previously that someone claiming to be the hacker came forward anonymously and said they would indeed take it to court if they lost the funds due to intervention via a fork[1]. Who knows if this was really the hacker, or whether it was a credible threat even assuming it was.

A Simple Bayes (a.k.a. Naive Bayes) Implementation in Elixir
Great update thanks.

Perhaps I am being naive, but I thought data centers had back-up power to cover this exact problem? I.e. battery power until the generators kick in... or is this how it used to be done and these days no one bothers and just relies on fail-over to other sites????

I think I'd better describe it as helping in the case of identifying information being correlated over time.

Even if you've got good OpSec, you may reveal things about yourself accidentally over time, and with a long-lived nickname, this could potentially narrow down your identity. Things like colloquialisms/references that are culturally specific/indicative, or reference to things that indicate things about yourself by association.

This could potentially be counteracted by analysing usage patterns/language patterns to try and associate a set of nicknames as 'the same person', but it's probably hard-ish to do if communication is terse + sparse.

Digital Ocean wasn't around before AWS, but yes, VPS's were a thing before AWS. Cloud services weren't nearly as complex though, usually only offering VPS's and not much more.

Edit: other guy beat me to this. Either way I agree that AWS wasn't integral to DSC's success.
Oh my god the website looks awful. I usually don't say bad things about other people's work but in this case I can't ignore it.

Where to Find Comodo SSL Store Coupon Codes
Hi everyone.

Crazy to see this thing on the front page of hacker news.

First off - I JUST started putting the site together and didn't expect any attention yet. So apologies for the bugs and mismatched content. Pull requests welcome at github.com/mrmrs/vimgifs :)

I created vimgifs because I have found gifs to be an effective way to help people learn vim commands. And I really like helping people become more efficient at building out their ideas.

The long term vision is to have a comprehensive set of examples that can be searched in a myriad of ways i.e related commands, all motion commands,all commands available in insert mode, .etc. If it's in :help I want a gif of it!

I don't have an opinion on whether or not vim is 'intuitive' but I will say it is much easier to learn than people make it out to be. I'd say it is infinitely less complex than whatever language you are trying to write in.

It took me less than a week to become more proficient in vim than in textmate - and I knew most of the command and shortcuts in textmate.

To people who say they don't have time to learn vim, a counter:
If you are pressed for time so much that you are debating whether or not you have time to learn something... it sounds like vim is definitely for you!

Vim isn't just about key strokes, commands, shortcuts, and the like. The more I learn about vim's capabilities the more I fundamentally think differently about editing and manipulating text. It has branching history, native ability to step through compile errors for ANY language, and navigation methods that truly changed how I think about exploring/navigating a code system. It's also ubiquitous which is pretty rad. I can't remember the last time I touched a computer that didn't have my favorite editor already installed.

I would encourage people not to denounce something they have never possessed. If you are not proficient in vim - it is difficult to denounce how intuitive it is. It's tough to denounce its ways and how much time they might save you.

I have become quite proficient in atom, sublime, textmate, and a few other editors. Even with 'vim mode' enabled these editors do not come close to the power that lies within vim.

But rest assured you can write amazing software with any text editor. I've met a lot of people who are excellent at writing code that never use vim and don't like it much.

In short - I hope this project makes it more fun and less intimidating to learn vim. I was lucky to have some amazing teachers when I got going and would love to pay their efforts forward a little bit.

Thanks for flying vim.

Do you have a reference for GTK supporting FB rendering?

The best I could find was this:

> This current DirectFB GTK+ 3.12 port lacks drag and drop, selection support, cursor shapes, full-screen support, geometry hints, properties, and many other features, but according to the developers maintaining this out-of-tree GTK+ code it's "basically usable" for running modern GTK apps on DirectFB.

Start looking for "real stuff" you can improve with tech, rather than just software/apps that're hard to defend.

To that end, I often recommend that developers go and find jobs outside of traditional software businesses for a while. If you spend a few years writing code for a publishing house or an oil company you'll see more of the challenges that affect those businesses that you can apply software to. If you spend your entire career working in a software company it's unlikely you'll realise that these problems exist because (generally speaking) software companies have already realised they're a problem and addressed them.
Feather blades changed my life.
I wasn't really in the cloud world in 2006, but AFAIK EC2 was pretty inventive/original/game changing in that it allowed anyone to immediately fire up and use VPS. Although there were (small) exiting services, these had enterprise entry level requirements, where you had to be approved as a customer before hand, provide all code that you wanted to run on their machines, and contact humans on the provider's end in order to up/down scale. Open to correction.

Tons of things, from being able to understand body cues that the guy is up to some BS (like we can tell a liar), to smelling the thing he has in his hands...

Plus who said it "couldn't see the thing" in the first place? Even if it couldn't see what in his hand, it could have watched his moves before, as he left the apple and picked up the rock etc.
Can you link to any tweet where he harassed someone? He did mockingly say a friend of his deserved to be harassed, that's about it as far as I can tell.
Thanks for the explanation. I am a graybeard only then.
> The assumption gets stronger as total computation power increases.

This assumes that the increases in computing power were not added via a mining pool, in which case the additional computing power is making things worse.

This is one reason that many view mining pools as one of the worst failures of bitcoin / other blockchains.
It's not a "simple" static site, and I'd be very surprised if it was "static" either, because there is guaranteed to be a database backend (how else would you track orders?). The frontend is written in EmberJS, probably with some fancy javascript backend.
