> Plus, I don't think parent asks why don't WE scan/ocr/machine learn translate them, but why the archeological community doesn't.

Pure speculation but if it's like any other scientific community the pressure to be the first to publish would take control. Releasing scans, pictures, etc would allow someone else to beat you to the punch which means they'll get the fame and future funding.
People use mobile more than desktop on social apps so it makes a lot of sense. Eventually there will be a web/desktop version as well(if it catches on). Shortly said mobile web sucks so a native app is better than a broken website.
I'm not quite sure where you're going with this, other than some sort of salami-slicing of easiness?

(Ironically a small farm is one of the harder things to inherit, especially if you feel morally obliged to keep it running as a business)
I'm betting that the system they have is an old pre-NN thing. Certainly not state of the art. The big gains in image recognition has happened fairly recently. Here's a survey of results on the Labeled Faces in the Wild dataset:

The socioeconomic divide in the Nordic countries is mostly between the property-owning elite and working people, not between different working classes.
They commonly have bits of organic material in the clay, so yes.

Also, the stratigraphy provides some degree of chronology, although iirc a lot of the tablets come from a single hittite document storage facility which had collapsed on itself, so...
Also the netflix catalog is not as big as people claims it is (I live in france). There are many movies missing from the 2000-2010 period (and more when you go beyond).

There also are many smaller details that makes torrent more attractive, like being able to watch the movie offline, HD with low bandwidth, subtitle choice, etc.

Netflix is a good step, and of course the movie industry will use it as "no excuse" argument against piracy. Meanwhile you still have other issues about net neutrality and people using VPN when they can.
I fail to see anything interesting or new (except the story).
That seems like an unnecessary jab.
So .. Reddit :P
That's no empirical study. It's anecdote from one police department, and who knows what software they use.

In the best case, maybe some 5-6 year old academic project that got commercialized. In the worst case, maybe something their nephew who's really good with computers wrote ("its own software" suggests some bespoke thing, which makes the latter more likely).
Use it right. It's not a message bus. XMPP is a chat protocol. Message delivery is not guaranteed.
I'm echoing what others are saying: no web version means I won't bother at all.

My phone has access to multiple great browsers. Building a good lightweight web app means I can access the content from anywhere without having to deal with annoyances of push notifications or (as much) creepy tracking.

My favorite example of a mobile web app is currently Twitter Mobile [0]. I even like using it from my desktop. It's very lightweight, fast, and easy to read.

The bigger question is what is their business model? Same as fb, to sell ads?
Google+ already tried that. Why do they beat a death horse?

It's anti-non-personists like you who are ruining the universe. I love how you assume all of those comments are by people, and not by capybara. Can you prove it wasn't capybara? Didn't think so. Huguenot!
You mean citations? When I worked in the states, many of the cleaning staff were immigrants. It's not a bad job for them, the pay is good (relatively speaking, vs. training needed), it doesn't require much language skills. Of course, it really depends where you are, but we were talking about SF, I think.
This still doesn't explain the graph without scale on Y axis and especially one without a clear 0 label. This is like stats 101, and not doing so implies either utter incompetence or intentional attempt to mislead the audience. There is no reason whatsoever to omit the scale and 0 label on a graph if the data actually supports the argued thesis, so most of the time lack of those elements means you're being lied to.

> theft of service is that you simply don't want to pay

Prices in Norwegian kroner (NOK)

Apple Music 99 / 149

Spotify Prem. 99

iTunes Movies 49 to rent 24 hours

159 to buy (~same as DVD in supermarket)

Netflix 79	99	129

HD? x	y	y

Nr screens 1	2	4

I don't know how much these services think I can spend on entertainment every month, they are all priced as though they are the only service in the market and like I have nothing else I want to spend money on. The film prices on iTunes are mental, I can buy a DVD from as little as kr79, so 49 to rent one seems excessive (also aware that Apple are not solely responsible for setting prices here).

As an anime fan too, torrenting is literally the only way to obtain content. THE ONLY WAY. There are 2 good free streaming sites I can think of that are not blocked in my region, and one of them daisuki.net doesn't support flash on Linux (groan) so I have to use the 'wrong' PC at home for that.

The state of legal streaming and content availability was a laughable disaster 5+ years ago. Now it's a case of being indignant and feeling righteous about giving these idiots the middle finger. The entertainment distributors are their own worst enemy.
My understanding is that in US many people are paying quite much for cable. One article says the average monthly bill is $100.
http://bgr.com/2015/09/09/cable-tv-bill-price-100/

No idea if that is true or how many people are putting that much money for contents on monthly basis. Compared to the streaming services this is quite much and with that money you could get a monthly subscription to several services.

I'll give you that that Bellingcat stuff makes it look like it wasn't Erdogan arranged. It doesn't seem terribly Gulenist either. Seems quite possible it was secular / nationalist army types similar to Turkey's previous coups. Erdogan was obviously out to get Gulenists before the coup as he must have had the list of judges to fire prepared before hand so it's quite likely that he's taking the opportunity to have a go at them regardless of evidence one way or the other.

Though it wouldn't surprise me if Erdogan had one or two people try to stir things a bit like the Syria false flag idea (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-03-27/here-youtube-false-...)

But I do think it's worth looking at! Full disclosure, I'm the main developer.
Now I love XMPP and before that I was even building website support apps with IRC. But it seems strange now in 2016 to be looking at XMPP for the new IoT wave because there are plenty of other interesting protocols available.

AVS from Wire Swiss for example.

Websockets that is being used by slack, signal and maybe more.

Maybe fresh eyes, fresh code is a positive thing if we're going to move forward. Instead of using XML. ;)
It's a fairly common informal way of writing the chemical formula (H2O2) that tries to be a little more faithful to the geometry of the molecule...

so HOOOH is hydrogen perperoxide, literally a chain of three oxygen atoms with a hydrogen atom at either end. In my electrochem (Chem 2) class, the instructor used to sometimes write HOH for water.

Ask HN: Do employers care how long it took you to finish a degree?
I'm not going to finish my C.S. degree in 4 years, it's going to take me a couple of years more. I'm not able to assist to all lectures and attend all exams because I've been going through a lot of stuff lately, so I haven't been (& am not) able to pass an academic year in a year. My gpa is still good.

I'm worried about being rejected for most applications in the future due to how long it took me to finish and I don't want to come off as whiny or anything in interviews, etc when interviewers ask me (if they do) why it took me so long.

So:
Do employers care how long it took you to finish a degree?
How important is to employers and interviewers?
Is there anything I can do to counteract it?

Thanks.
Even with all telemetry disabled you can still see it attempting to connect to MS domains. Just open the developer tools (F12).
Uhmmm I guess the downvotes are coming because no one believes that Niantic couldn't predict that the first mobile game(if we forget Pokemon Shuffle for a second) in one of the biggest franchises in the world would be this popular, and I feel like it's quite a popular opinion that the app was released at least 6 months too early, it's poorly optimized and full of bugs. Not to mention that Niantic cannot handle PR, they don't even have a Pokemon GO-dedicated rep yet, they are looking for one. Personally I know several people who played this game every day after it came out, now this number fell down to zero, after a while there isn't much to do and the recent updates made the game worse. I have stopped playing after few days because every other catch the app would freeze and I would have to restart the whole thing. Plus the fact that it's obliterating the battery just by being open is unacceptable - obviously it's just a personal opinion so take it as you will.
Actually, the evidence is still here, and it's us.

Genomic studies are increasingly suggesting an almighty y-bottleneck 20ka ago. One of the things this is consistent with would be a matriarchical society, as females would control reproduction. Couple this with "Venus" figurines scattered across Europe, evidence for societal upheaval ~15ka ago, and a possible and plausible explanation becomes that females were running the show for much of history, being the ones that can bear young (c.f. Animal hierarchies), and males took control recently, possibly in response to encountering other humans (neanderthalis).

Anyway, it's all very patchy and speculative right now, but further genomic studies and archaeology probably can answer this one.
Hello.com was a product of Picasa when it was acquired by Google. Given Orkut's history at Google, I assume he was able to get a good deal on it.
>really never hurts the creator,

No, this is nonsense. As I keep posting here - I personally know of music plug-in makers who dropped out of the industry because piracy killed their revenue stream.

Piracy very much hurt the creators in those examples. It also hurt buyers, because good products disappeared.

Your post is just another version of the "Work for nothing for exposure" bullshit. It's not the George R.R. Martins and the Kanyes who are hurt by piracy - it's the niche start-up artists on (e.g.) Bandcamp who produce quality music without the backing of a huge media corp, and will give up if not supported.
Games are essentially solved as far as consumption goes. There's still some fuckery going on with DRM in some companies, but that's the minority.

However, they aren't solved when it comes to archival. It's getting constantly worse with the rise of online-only games with closed source, undistributed servers. A subject for another day, though.
We are in the middle of migrating from Bitbucket to our self hosted CE version and apart from a few permissions issues on SSH keys we have had no issues with the whole process and updating our deployment system was just a case of changing git urls.

Well done Gitlab :)
Apparently, if they had any additional whitespace they'd fill it with mobile overlay ads that are near impossible to close. Too bad, the story concept was appealing.
It's actually teenager-oriented snapchat clone with gamification. And phone-only too.
Wouldn't making EU single market and getting rid of geoblocking pretty much remove regional pricing? The piracy then would surge even more, because in Eastern Europe you can't expect people to spent 10% of their salary on a new videogame.
I love a good swear as much of any of you mangy pissflaps, but here's a gold example of how implied rudeness can be funny too.

Of course, with capitalism in most countries, exactly the same thing happens in reality... it's almost like when you have entities with huge amounts of power that are almost entirely disconnected from the population, the population gets the short end of the stick, no matter what propaganda is pushed on them.
Non-relational DBs (the Not Only SQL sort) usually passes the buck up to the application layer for several things. It is in a way a good thing to do if the DB wants to focus on scale out issues such as consistency of replicas or high availability. I personally find it pretty easy to work with alternate data models, thus not relying on the possibility of a join or a transaction, as long as I am not writing a banking application. Without a relational data model, the biggest problem becomes verification IMHO; verification of the DB, the application logic, and whether the application logic makes the right assumptions about the DB it is using.
It's not really an alternative to torrentz though, is it? As far I can see, it only has kat torrents. It does not list other public trackers..

> 98% of his writings were a critique of capitalism. He didn't provide a detailed description of how to implement anything.

Yeah that's exactly my point. The issue is when we try to turn all those seemingly "good" things into practice, we couldn't figure out how.

Let me pick the one that I disagree the most in your list:

> Implement a job guarantee

How would you do that?

There's a difference between leaving a modest family house/farm to your kids versus someone inheriting a business empire worth millions.

What difference? Inheritance = payment for providing happiness and support in life. The amount can be whatever you want - millions, billions or nothing at all.

If someone has a business worth millions and decides to leave it to his wife or children, then that would be a financial compensation for making his life better. It's up to them to decide what to do with the money they've made.

It's not so much the giving that's objected to as the receiving.

Who is objecting to other people receiving money from someone who wants to give it to them voluntarily? It's crazy what envy does to people.

Beautiful people receive more positive attention and get compliments all the time. Should they mutilate themselves, so they don't receive attention anymore?

Especially when there are other children suffering the effects of poverty in childhood that will give them lifelong disadvantages.

So what? Why would wealthy people have an obligation to help poor people? There are ugly people, which doesn't mean beautiful people should mutilate themselves and make previously ugly people look better in comparison.

Fair point. The archival question is complex because of the inherent difficulty in keeping old software running on modern operating systems. At some point it doesn't pay to keep supporting newer operating systems even if you still have sales; only for the really popular titles. Perhaps containers would work?

Just few years back torrentz was still serving magnet links (just the hash, without trackers embedded), so you didn't even have to visit the torrent sites.

Auto Generated Tweets That You’ll Never Know Are Spam with Machine Learning
I've moved from BitBucket to GitLab and on the whole it works well. I still use GitHub for open source projects though.

One problem is that a lot of things automatically work with BitBucket and GitHub but GitLab need manual setup. For example, TeamCity has out-of-the-box support for both BitBucket and GitHub but you have to set up GitLab as a raw git repository (and create a user for it etc.).

edit: I should add that I've also used GitHub professionally with private repositories. However, I quite like having separate credentials for open source vs. more sensitive work.

> expressing a desire to literally have everybody killed who had an abortion

She expressed a desire to have those people locked up and arrested for murder. That is not literally killing someone.

> Making it immune to criticism

I don't think anybody suggested doing this. You can love someone while disagreeing with them, even if you disagree with them really hard. You can criticize someone's opinions in some forums, and leave them other forums where they can vent safely.
Why? Language evolves naturally over time, trying to hold back that process seems a little regressive. The obvious example is the word "cool". I'm not sure there's any real benefit in holding its meaning to be "something that's cold".
Doesn't it suck for anything but simplest forms of communication?

I mean, I just can't stand touch-typing anything but very short messages. Whenever there's any conversation that involves more typing than posting a meme picture and replying with "lol" I run for a real terminal, with a real physical keyboard.

I don't know about others, but for me being significantly slowed down with typing is frustrating. And I hope to believe I'm not an outstandingly slow with touchscreen keyboards...
You probably don't use chrome with disabled javascript, so you haven't noticed the change. It was broken on purpose for a couple of months.

A few years back, I was taken to the hospital with meningitis. I've never been so sick in my life.

The scariest part was that I lost use of a lot of my short term memory, and I had problems concentrating. I couldn't even really participate in conversations because I'd spend minutes trying to comprehend a sentence, and by the time I decoded it the conversation had moved on.

Luckily, my mental abilities returned after a couple of weeks. But ever since, I've been mortally terrified of alzheimers and the like. We don't realise how much of our identity is wrapped up in our intellect until it's removed.

Since then I've seen grandparents slowly succumbing to alzheimers and dementia. It's heartbreaking. This place sounds great, I wish my country had a similar thing for my grandmother.

There are a couple of paths that might work.

One would be to start working on an OSS project that is well supported locally and to attend relevant meetups. Get known in the community, get credibility, and, after a while, let people know you are looking for work.

Another would be to start in testing - if you have the mindset for it. I know quite a few people with non-technical backgrounds who started in testing and moved onto careers as developers, integrators, and more, all with non-technical backgrounds. Testing is more about mindset, curiosity, organization, and detail, than about specific technical skills - or at least some types of testing are.

FWIW, YMMV.

Well then they should just give everyone the cheap price. I don't see why Hollywood is entitled to x% of my salary. If it means they have to spend a few mllion dollars less on advertising Captain America 4 or Star Wars 8 or Fast and Furious 8 then so be it.
The gamification seems really unnecessary for a social network. It may improve retention rates, but only for a very small demographic (that I'm definitely not a part of).

The consensus in the comments seems to be that there are some other bad decisions that went into it too...
