I just don't understand what they gain by pissing off power users. Set whatever defaults you want, but let me control when I want it.
Thanks!

Signup permissions is definitely something we need to work on more. We optimized them at the beginning to give people the best experience possible, but we'll definitely iterate to allow using Netlify with less permissions. We just need to find the right workflow to still keep it as simple and powerful as possible.
Yeah. Back when theoildrum.com was running, they'd post the reports on reserves for Saudi Arabia. SA are developing new fields, but compared to their rate of extraction, I didn't think it looked too pretty in the long term.
As a very rough heuristic, it seems that subreddits with subscriber counts below about 10,000 seem to be able to maintain what makes them great (if they can be said to be great) without moderation.

You have a much higher percentage of users who are deeply interested in the raison d'être of the subreddit.

Beyond that, you either need moderation or have to make a new sub.
Oh, I think they're making their point quite effectively, given that this is how "disruptive" companies like Uber and AirBNB actually operate. You're right that perhaps a more euphemistic example might've been better PR though.

Anybody know how this affects the Bitcoin PPA?
I don't know if the community will consider this example to be microservices as currently defined, but many years ago I wrote client-server systems using a PC-based fat client application, and transactions running on a CICS server. I think this was pretty similar to what people currently think of as a microservices architecture, although we didn't have to worry about running/monitoring multiple servers (all the transactions/services ran on a single mainframe server), and the transaction monitor managed things like start-up and shutdown pretty simply. This approach worked really well for us, and we built several robust, scalable applications using this approach. To be clear, we numbered our users in hundreds, not thousands or millions. I can well understand how scaling this approach across many servers could be very challenging.
Why would that argument not apply to "It's 1960, and I don't want to seat black customers at my fancy restaurant because it's statistically likely to be less profitable than seating white customers"?
PlanetPlanet Feeds are great but unfortunately people don't always understand that you should subscribe to their feed. Beside Mozilla, there is a number of other good planets to follow, like Python, Jabber, GNOME, Debian, Ubuntu.
I've often found myself staring agape, stunned at the lack of awareness as to the irony emanating from the same people who give such power to language with their abject refusal to entertain 'context', 'intent' or even the sheer mutability language has shown to be capable of over the thousands of years of human discourse.

Same thing I said a few weeks ago in a discussion over Github wholesale blanking out a repository because it used the word 'retard' in the dictionary sense of impeding the rate of progress.

If that makes me sexist I guess I'll just have to take it "like a man"?
Is this a good case for distributing downloads via torrent? Or do you then face the same problem when linking to the torrent file?

Hey bcherny, we also love So Good They Can't Ignore You, and discuss its findings in part 3 of our career guide: https://80000hours.org/career-guide/career-capital/

No, there's no (technical) reason to redundantly solve the problems that dapper has solved. In particular the emitted IL which avoids costly reflection is not something many people will correctly re-implement.

Dapper avoids reflection, its performance is very close to a hard-coded SqlCommand.

The Broken Promise of No Man’s Sky and Why It Matters
I have no idea about China, but in the US, unless you're going to community college, tuition is so high that either your parents are paying it or you're going into debt to pay it. If you're lucky (and "poor enough") you can get enough financial aid that the burden on your parents and your debt is minimal.
Probably more than 10%. Recall that fuel costs are priced into every single item that gets shipped, which is basically all of them.

Although it wasn't by hijacking the public key infrastructure, it is worth noting that China has demonstrated in the past they have no issue performing country-wide man-in-the-middle attacks against a single site [1]. Given that some CA's are Chinese, it is not that unbelievable unfortunately...

Do you think It's fair to push idealism over realism on (presumably) young people, where wasting time looking for a 'dream' job might distract from living a happy life with an ordinary/respectable job?

I like the intention and amount of work you've invested in this but I can't help but feel uneasy about something.
So pointing out

-the deceptive conduct of several prominent scientists, both around the hockey stick graph and the cover-up since it was published

-the discrepancies between temperatures recorded by satellites and surface stations

-the convenience to one side of politics of an upcoming huge cataclysmic event requiring massive government intervention

is cheek / vague, ill-defined nonsense / akin to creationism? Right.
It truly is impossible to have a rational debate in public on this subject.

This is depressingly common. I occasionally run across a company which I'm sure will have a lower stock price in a year. The numbers don't add up, the business plan is just unworkable, or it fails the "this tiny company has a higher valuation than Walmart" test.

But about nine out of ten times I can't get shares to short, or my broker can get shares from another brokerage for a large minimum lot and even larger fee. I can understand some smaller companies don't have a large float, but it seems like you should be able to get shares for companies like Uber and Tesla.

Not difficult, just tedious. My being lazy and wanting to do something productive isn't proof of anything. Also, there isn't really an advantage to digging them up, since it is clear you'll just refute whatever I dig up.
That's a good point. But in that case the author's phrasing is very misleading. "The monthly mortgage payment for the median house in San Francisco" implies he's calculating the payment from the median price he quoted in the previous sentence.

But maybe he's making the same assumption regarding whatever source he's relying on.
Oil isn't just gas for your car. It's also gas for the trucks that move products around, asphalt for the roads, fuel for planes, heating oil for homes, oil used to generate electricity, and oil used to make plastics.

So, yes, I do.

Iran is trying to get back to the production quotas of pre-sanction period. Saudis do not want that (they opposed the Iran deal).

They also want to prevent any investment in Iran oil sector by lower the lure of potential windfall from foreign investors until the next US administration is in power to potentially reverse Obama's policy.
I think it's intentional - just like the placement of display ads next to autoplay videos. People spend time mousing over and 'looking' at the ad as they're hunting for the mute button. Increases interaction metrics and makes the ad slot look more valuable to prospective ad buyers.

EDIT: While we're at it, there's a publishing group that displays all news articles as popovers over the main page.
People accidentally click out of the articles and get dumped on the home page, containing expensive "site takeover" advertisements.

Can't remember the name of the company - they have a bunch of US-based local news sites.
Peak profits from oil. They're desperately trying to sell as much as possible before renwewables eat their lunch. This is why the free market cannot solve global warming by itself - we'd need to leave lots of oil in the ground and countries like Saudi Arabia have a huge amount of latitude to drop prices in order to ensure this doesn't happen. It's not enough to just be cheaper than oil, you need to be cheaper than anyone can afford to drop the price they sell oil at to undercut you.
AFAIK, you can buy the same laptop without windows installed from manufacturers like Dell. They actually reduce the cost if you choose to not have the OS. I don't know who sells linux only laptop for twice the price, given that linux is free. How is twice the price justified if you're actually not paying for the OS?
On an ASA?

Obviously, as I mentioned downthread, even something as simple as a Shodan query can show you lots of public SNMP servers. But how many of the are firewalls?

You're confusing a stock with a flow. If we all spent 10% of our money on oil, their revenue would be 2% of GDP and market cap would be greater.

Say they have 60% net margin and market discount rate is 5%, fair value would be $180 bn * 0.6 * 20 which gets you comfortably past 2 trillion. Their revenue is over double Google.

Ideas to Funding and Beyond: Powerful Social Network for Startups
Hi Cup - our career guide is explicitly focussed on "talented young graduates." We would shift the focus a bit for different audiences (more on financial security for example). Though that's already implicit in our discussion of the point at which money stops increasing happiness.

But actually if you read on the career paths we recommend in the career guide involve developing highly practical and marketable skills. We just think that turning those valuable skills towards improving the world will provide people with fulfillment in the long term.
In most places I've seen, 'quickest' usually refers to straight-line acceleration (generally 0-60 times or 1/4 mile). They claim a 2.8s 0-60 for the ludicrous option, and I believe it's hit 2.6, though I don't know what was was done to do that (modifications or just ideal conditions, that kind of thing). Either way, it's damn fast.

The CTS-V is in the mid 3 range for 0-60.

That doesn't diminish your point about track performance, but I don't think your parent was referring to lap times.
This research from Yuste's lab is really refreshing to me and probably more appealing to the HN audience than a lot of other neuroscience research. The main reason is that it focuses on how the brain carries out information processing and tests predictions made by theoretical and mathematical models of neuroscience proposed ages ago, e.g. Hebbian cell assemblies, attractor networks (Grossberg, Amari, Hopfield, et al.). And of course, there's a feedback loop here that further informs these theoretical models. I believe Numenta uses some of these principals in their models.
The Rise of the Online Degree at America's Top Universities
Honestly, I don't expect a response, but getting the Global numbers and Canada's numbers on colonies by year isn't a simple Google Search.

I am not a beekeeper either but for a time I did sell honey, up to 65,000 units per order and so I am familiar with USDA annual reports and USDA Honey Production Survey.

In fairness I seem to be one of the only people in the thread not challenging you about the impact of the mites; however, USDA reports has guided my limits on the losses attributed to mites. Not to provoke you but the Honey Production Survey shows colony growth from 1987 when you say the mites were introduced until 1990, thereafter the numbers began declining sharply.

>Now, look up the introduction and adoption dates for neonicotinoids.

By all accounts I see development in late 80's and adoption in early 90's, coinciding with the time period honey bee (managed) colonies saw nearly 33% decline, but essentially during the same period as mites were introduced sans those few years of growth after the introduction of the mites.

Just so you understand where I am coming from the USDA 2015 annual attributes under 20% of loses to mites, and only 5% to pesticides, but 15% to "other" and over 20% (more the mites) to unknown.

Maybe my Google skills are subpar, but I could not find a straight forward graph of honey bee colony number by year for Canada or globally, which is readily available with a US bee population by year Google Search. What I did see is Canada territories in 2008 on the low end losing 20% of colonies and 48% on the high end (but 1 year snap shot is not helpful), and this year a 3.8% growth which they said was record growth over the last decade. I eventually found a standalone statement that Canadian Government which attributed the majority of loses to mites, which supports what you are saying, whereas the USDA 2015 report attributes only 20% of loses to mites and 40% between pesticides/other/unknown.
>> "The old app was significantly better IMO."

I think that statement goes to show how bad the new app is - because the old one was awful. I've been a pretty hardcore SC user since it first launched and was mainly full of home recordings. The first app was pretty bad, then they made it significantly worse with the new one. They also have 'pulse' for creators which is inexplicably missing features you would expect it to have.

The original website was actually pretty good although by the time it came to the release of the new one it hadn't been updated in a long long time. The new one looks better but performs much worse. On a slow internet connection it is completely unusable.
This is actually great advice for a startup, as well.
There is a geopolitical element here.

What happens when US mutual funds and retirement funds are invested in this stock?

Will the mutual funds lobby the US Government to put sanctions on Iran to give Saudis more output and more revenue to ultimately benefit the funds?

What happens if Saudis are linked further to 9/11 or to other activities that goes against US' interests. Will the banking sector lobby the congress against taking any actions against Saudis?
Yeah, this looks like a promising solution! I assume this means content creation occurs in the source code instead (not a showstopper, but a nice-to-have request from my friend)?

Request HN: Show notification for replies
I miss out on responses on my replies because I don't know if someone responded without navigating 3 levels deep from the main page. Is it possible to add an asterisk against my username on the home page when someone responds to my comments?
Well, I might disagree with whatever you dig up; I can only really refute it if I present a good argument against it, which maybe I wouldn't be able to for some comments.
I think a lot of this churn can be sidestepped if you avoid startups and instead work for an "Enterprise" organisation. everything is much less cutting edge. In fact technology progression is pretty much glacial.

If you look at what technology was popular 10-15 years ago then that's what will be in use in Enterprises now. Java web services is currently the big thing at my company.

All the late 90's business apps which were in Visual Basic, Oracle Forms and Access are being rewritten as Java web services at the moment by an army of contractors. In another 10-15 years they will be rewritten again in the language Du Jour of today probably Go. It's an endless cycle.
Saudi Aramco's annual revenue is over $300B, and their reserves are more than 260 billion barrels. Oil prices have ranged from $15-ish to $140-ish since 1990. So $2 trillion doesn't seem outlandish at all for Aramco.

Early angel investors in Uber have made about 10,000x, plus or minus, so even if you're right there's no potential for shorting Aramco to be the best investment ever (Uber's seed round was at 4 millionish, and the current valuation is 60 billionish).
At first I didn't understand the difference between Netlify vs. Jekyll / Hugo + s3_website [1] + S3/CloudFront + git. Admittedly, (1) the OP does a terrible job differentiating the two, and (2) there's significant overlap. Netlify is built for "dynamic" static websites, or rather JavaScript applications (whether they be single-page or not, it doesn't matter). It serves up a static page, and the JS and APIs do the rest.

So, for anyone who wants a basic breakdown between Netlify's features, and Jekyll + s3_website + S3/CloudFront + git/GitHub, here's the list of things BOTH support:

- Continuous Deployment

- Custom Domains / Domain Redirects / Domain Aliases

- Domain Redirects

- SSL (letsencrypt-s3front helps here [2])

- Redirects / Reverse Proxying (s3_website helps here with x-amz-redirect-location header [3])

- Headers / Custom Headers / Basic Auth

- Versioning and Rollbacks (handled with git)

Here's the list of things ONLY Netlify supports:

- GeoIP / language-based redirects (on their Enterprise Plan for $1,000/month)

- Form submissions [4]

- Analytics snippet injection [5] (albeit a little unnecessary for most developers)

- Atomic deploys [6]

- Prerending [7] (one of the most important and useful features)

Please, correct anything that's wrong.

Netlify's killer feature, for me, looks like prerending: rendering JS pages with a headless browser to help with SEO, with no work on the developer's end, is awesome! However, Netlify strikes me as far too expensive at $9/$49/$399/$1k per month. Especially with developers as their target market. That's too much for what little extra features it does offer.

Here's to hoping they can continue to differentiate themselves more.

In your case, why not use multi-name certificates? According to the article, Let's Encrypt lets you request up to 100 names per certificate, so you could cover all your microservices with just a few certs.
Burning gasoline isn't the problem, burning gasoline that's sourced from the ground is. It's possible to use a lot of electricity to run gasoline combustion backwards, turning CO2 and H20 into gasoline. It's currently not economical due to electricity prices, but it may be a better option to retrofit gasoline production rather than automobile fuel consumption.
Hi, this is Matthew Podwysocki from the React Native Windows team here at Microsoft. I can address some of these points.

1. Yes, we are working on Windows tutorials at the moment and more detailed writeups such as how we got the F8 App from Facebook to run on RN for UWP. We've made a lot of strides lately with our React-Native CLI integration so you can do `react-native windows` and `react-native run-windows` which allows you to build and run your applications without requiring you to fire up Visual Studio.

2. We are definitely working on the examples to make sure they work out of the box with our run-windows command and will make sure that's done ASAP.

3. Yes, that's the intention to have a Hello Windows module. Right now we have a little sample that shows how to make custom controls and modules such as here: https://github.com/rozele/rn-tr23 with a map control but we will move a few to our GitHub organization to show you how its done.

4. With the React-CLI and run-windows, you should not need full Visual Studio running unless you are deploying to a device or emulator. If you are having issues with that, please file an issue and we'll get to it as soon as possible.

Unrelated: We are open to prettier templates but currently we are using the standard XAML templates which come with UWP so they have the look and feel of a common UWP app.

We're also looking at the list of the most popular React Native modules and ensuring that they work with React Native for UWP.

Downloading by torrent hash link is nice because it cannot be altered after release, while this isn't true with a link to a binary file on a website.

However, you still have to verify the authenticity of the binary with keys if you don't trust the location you got the torrent hash from (ie, the bitcoin website). So yes, essentially the same problem I believe!
