Publicly traded companies are ones where stock is bought and sold on an exchange, such as the NYSE or Nasdaq. Basically anyone with money can find a broker and buy/sell shares of publicly traded companies.

Private firms do not list on public exchanges and their shares aren't available for purchase or sale to just anyone. Many of the more recent unicorns, such as Uber, are currently private.

The size of a company does not determine whether it is public or private. Becoming public means submitted lots of paperwork to the SEC and getting an investment bank to underwrite the sale of your shares on a public exchange. All comes down to whether or not the private owners care to go through that process.

Private equity usually refers to investment firms who specialize in buying shares in non-publicly traded companies. Angel investors and venture capitalists can broadly be included under this label.
Let's agree to agree then :) I much prefer Racket's macros. Their version of syntax-case is a bit simplified compared to the one shipped with other schemes like guile and chez.

You're obviously right, it's libel, full stop. And Hulk Hogan didn't win because he had Thiel money, he won because he was right, and if Gwaker would win, it would be because of money, and that would be something anormal.

All in all it seems feasible and the implications of that are enormous.

It made sense back in the days when the book was published and there weren't too many IDEs (or development that depend on IDEs).
Yes, at least it's searchable. The current trend of using common words as names was ridiculous as of a few years ago. Now it's just painful. Someone's going to name their project "The" and I'm not sure I'll be able to remain civil at that point.

It's difficult to see the logic that some of these guys have with their "investment" cons. I really wonder the psychology of someone who'd go through a fake investment proposal like this. Do they just want to feel important? I recall a similar incident with someone on HN that I have saved from a few years back:

I thought there would be some Ian Banks on the list, given Elon named the drone ships after his work.
don't disagree - its much easier to discover that now with opensource and publicly communicated bug databases. What I'm saying is that it is much harder with proprietary software (which is probably a good reason to avoid it in the first place).
And I want to know how much users are willing to pay for it. Or if it'll be a energy escrow kind of deal.
In the case of Java, while the IDE systems are good, the last time I used Java I decided to do it within an editor and use CLI scripts for building and packaging, and enjoyed it much more than any Java IDE in past experience. It made me feel more productive, anecdotally.

Mind you most of my prior Java experience was 2007-2010, and the last time with the editor + CLI was in 2014, and just with a fun example. The editor + CLI workflow was still solid and similar to Node or Python workflow in that regard.

But isn't that what the voters wanted? A political shift to conservatism? Otherwise, the voters would have voted against Trump.

And a political shift doesn't mean Trump can become a dictator. It's still unconstitutional and Congress, no matter which side they are on, would never allow that. The well-armed people would never allow that. The armed military would never allow it. The armed police forces would never allow it. The well-regulated armed militia like the Minute Men would never allow it. The armed National Guard would never allow it.
The OP argument isn't about the Fermi paradox. To see this, first note that those words don't appear in it. Second, consider the possibility that abiogenesis is just stupendously rare. This solves the Fermi paradox (regardless of whether you think this solution engenders problem of its own, such as why life seemed to develop so soon after Earth initially formed), but the anthropic issue raised by the OP argument would persist.
Blackberry also only has one Android phone. Let's wait and see how they handle things when they have more models to support.

I'm also concerned that Blackberry phones (Android or otherwise) aren't long for this world. The Priv has hardly been a success and Blackberry OS appears to be on life support.
It's not a derail. I've already pointed out that Windows 10 is a converged mobile operating system, and some of its features come directly from Windows Phone (Cortana, Notifications etc). It has a lot of characteristics in common with iOS and Android, and together they illustrate a common problem.

Nobody is going to turn the clock back for you. If you don't want a cloud-supported mobile operating system delivered as a service and supported by an app store, then you should stop using Windows 10. Your choice. Nobody will mind.

Or you can use Windows until 2020, but remember, that now has telemetry as well.....
Which is yet more evidence in support of a great filter.
Hello!

Voisi is a unique app, being a full-featured audio recorder, it offers an in-built voice transcription. Moreover, while limited to certain devices and Android OS versions, it has call recording features, too.

Voisi has so many use cases: recording business meetings, classes, lectures, voice notes, memos, interviews, impromptu ideas and flashes of genius, songs, sweet moments and anything else.

Plus, with the unique transcription feature, Voisi robot-transcribed texts are human-readable and searchable - works just like ctrl+f only in the audio recordings!

Here are just some of the features:
Dropbox, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Docs and Evernote sync
Sharing a recording via email, SMS and messengers
Audio recordings from phone quality to CD quality (8.0kHz - 44.1kHz)
Record audios in one click from Notification bar and in the background
Import recordings from other apps on the fly
Voice notes are in sync with your ongoing calendar events
Add text notes and bookmarks right in your recordings
Geotagging and adding Google Street View panoramas of places where recordings happened
Automatic call recording on selected phones only
Automatic transcripts of your recordings into English (US), Czech, Russian.

That depends on distance, relative orientation, obstructions between the keys, force required, etc, but chances are it would be easier to take the consoles apart and connect them by wire to a switch that makes two contacts. It probably would also be easier to smuggle such an electromechanical contraption in than smuggling in a five meter pole would be.

Regardless of the method used, I think that would satisfy the goal of making it impossible to start World War Three by accident. It also would be very hard to do it intentionally, but by a single person, as the guards outside the main room wouldn't let a single person stay in the main room, and wouldn't let anybody carry in weird stuff.
Hey there, Librato here (https://www.librato.com/)

Welp, nobody can blame you for wanting to get away from Nagios. It’s certainly a tool from a different, simpler era and hasn’t aged well in our opinion.

As a push-based metrics solution, Librato is probably a lot different than what you're used to. But don’t worry: we're super easy to get up and running with, and obviously you no longer need to worry about maintaining or scaling infrastructure. Also, unlike with some other solutions, you can use us with your existing toolchain (it’s easy to plug us into your existing Nagios infrastructure to try us - the trial is free & full-featured).

We’re a hosted metrics platform, meaning you can send metrics of any type and amount you want. We’re functionally similar to Graphite+Grafana, except we do all the work of scaling and management for you so you can focus on the metrics themselves. We provide alerting and other useful bits out of the box (things that are not trivial to setup yourself, e.g., bolting together collectd+Graphite+Grafana+statsd+flapjack+kitchen sink and hoping it scales and doesn’t fall over). We’ve got an agent that comes with a bunch of turn-key integrations too, to make it super easy for you to monitor what you care about.

As to pricing, we're the only hosted monitoring system that will just charge you for what you actually USE. You pay pennies per metric metered by the hour, instead of a per-node model, which gets crazy expensive and inefficient for modern ephemeral infrastructure. For example, if all you're doing is integrating us with AWS CloudWatch to monitor some EC2 instances and an RDS instance, we can do that for effectively a $1-$2 an instance. We also have an agent you can install on your servers if you want more detailed metrics, which adds $5-10 per instance depending on how many metrics you enable. Our customer success team (email support@librato.com, or the Help chat window if you already have a Librato account) will be more than happy to walk you through any permutation of our pricing and the details of the model to help you better understand it.

As mentioned, you can try us out for free--no credit card required: https://www.librato.com/

Sounds like you're trying to get some ideas for dealing with your own app. Any particular concepts you're interested in?
Tesorio (YC S15) Is Hiring Senior Backend and Frontend Engineers
I agree with the principle of there being consequences, but what I don't agree with is for the condemnation to be deliberate and for journalism to be used in service of that, rather than impartial reporting.

When you describe the consequences as an immunological response, I think of something organic, more of an unguided process, not driven by awareness of meta-factors.

For me it sounds so strange a company that does not does a basic "due diligence". Even with people that I've just met I will do my personal due diligence.

We live in days that "trust" is something that you acquire after a time, not something that you suppose that others may have.
"Why would someone want to use this risky alternative?"

Well, you can have some fun jamming this into various text fields that might block 127.0.0.1 and "localhost", but don't successfully block everything else that leads to local access, thus allowing you to use $SOME_NETWORK_SERVICE to probe its own internal services.

It can also be fun to jam something like 127.3.22.99 into things that only block 127.0.0.1; the whole 127.0.0.0/8 is "localhost". Try it with ping sometime.
I've been able to do this with Vim. I also do Xcode development, but just use the XVim plugin.

Also, I've been keeping an eye on https://github.com/landaire/deoplete-swift, hopefully in the future I can do everything through Vim and only jump into Xcode to setup bindings and make UI changes.
Modern money is created by keystrokes[1]. We(the US) are no longer on the gold standard(a good thing). In order to have conditions for economic growth(say GDP growth) to occur aggregate income must increase. There are only two possible drivers: Government goes into debt or the private sector goes into debt where debt = spending more than ones income. If government policy makers were to use fiscal policy based economic models that paid closer attention to aggregate debt and aggregate income balances we could have much smoother business cycle and avoid deep recessions where the private sector wants to deleverage. The only thing to fear is inflation and we have never truly sniffed demand pull inflation in the US ever. The 80's was supply shock petroleum based inflation.

The Federal government needs to put its foot on the accelerator and not the brakes but the politicians don't know where the accelerator is.

> I know for sure that my Eastern-European city (population: ~1.8 million) has enough problems as it is when in the summer heat people turn the AC on at the same time.

I assume though that your city has a district heating system that works fairly reliably in the winter. If that is the case, why can't a district cooling system work just as well? All you need is a source of heat (which you already have, courtesy of district heating) and a heat sink--either cooling towers or a large body of water. If a society is prosperous enough to provide district heat, then it is prosperous enough to provide district cooling.

> in American suburbia where having the possibility to install your own solar-power thingie is totally feasible

It's actually easier in some ways to install solar panels on a residential building in sub-Saharan African country because regulatory restrictions either do not exist or can be circumvented with a wad of cash. A reasonably priced solar setup on a house or flat may not be able to satisfy its entire electrical load, but it can certainly provide enough energy for air conditioning.
Fair point, though I feel there's still something to my point in the broader context outside of this one post.

It's long been known that some carriers purposefully degraded quality of youtube to keep from saturating their interconnections. That's the reason[1] behind the Google Video Quality Report[2]. Youtube does (did?) redirect you to a comparison of how well your ISP streamed content compared to others when there were streaming problems in some cases to combat this.

1: Well, I'm assuming, but it seems likely this was the main reason.

Except it's usually the government selling these projects to private firms, so the tax payer gets the worst of both sides of the coin.

Issuing von Neumann probes like this seems like a flashing neon advertisement of your presence in space: not necessarily the best strategic choice. On the other hand it's possible that such a species of probe already exists but is more or less of the Fred Saberhagen Berserker variety and desires to operate stealthily. Perhaps the crews of these vessels like to sing Das Lied vom außerirdischen U-Boot Mann.

I was wondering if there can be video platform like Youtube that doesn't run on ads, but donations? Or would that be too expensive? Is there a platform like that already?
