May I recommend using Django CMS? In my opinion it is the best basic CMS, truly user friendly, free and open and builds upon Django web framework.

Templating is very simple, if you have looked at twig for php it should look very familiar.

Also, with the power of python and Django, your imagination really is the only limit to how you expand upon the site.

Best of luck!
Ideally that would happen in the stock market, of course.

Changing the default behavior of the dialog boxes to trick people into installing their software was pure malware level tactics. They knowingly crossed the line with that stunt.

Explaining Predictions of Machine Learning Classifiers
This is only true if all of your engineers are operating at 100% capacity all the time. In my experience that's generally not true (and if it was they'd probably burn out pretty fast). Unless you're staffed entirely by contractors and pay by the hour?
Uber sold its Chinese operations to Didi Chuxing (a ride-sharing service made by Chinese companies), because it couldn't gain a definitive advantage despite spending more than a billion dollars.
I don't find it ridiculous, but recognize that the military chose a different direction (hence this became an orphan project).

Airships are very well suited for surveillance over uncontested and nominally "friendly" skies. Places like cities and towns at home. The DARPA (now unfortunately named) "ISIS" project was just that. Persistent long duration surveillance allows you to identify changes in a neighborhood or area which are nominally invisible without a history of the place. It works like this, you record the ingress and egress of people from a common place, over time you have people who are there again and again, and people who are "new". The longer you do that the more you can see which people are there for the first time and which people have been there before. Now when an "event" happens somewhere, you can identify the "new" people who aren't regular users of say, the train station, and focus your attention on them, perhaps quickly identifying fleeing perpetrators.

The overall scheme is called the "mosaic effect" according to someone in the intelligence community that attended a MacAfee hosted briefing I attended. By eliminating the periodic things that are always there, the outliers stand out.

Don't most reported private valuations fail the most basic smell tests? If share rights, liquidation preferences, and seniority are homogenous, doesn't each share need to be summed individually vs multiplying quantity * latest senior price?
Its hard to value a company without a lot of public numbers:

Even he admits here:
I am relying on dribs and drabs of information that are coming out of the existing ride sharing companies, almost all of whom are private

Also their cash flow numbers are probably negative at the moment and future cash flow is just a guess.

Basically valuing a business like that is throwing Darts at a board. You need to have predicable cash flow to properly value a business.

Did you know GitLab has pages too? https://pages.gitlab.io/

It supports many generators https://gitlab.com/groups/pages and custom domains work even on free accounts.
You can click on your profile page and then the "comments" link to see if anything has changed. Currently that's what I do, but I'm thinking of automating it.

There used to be a service called "HNNotify" which gave you the option of being emailed whenever someone replied to you. It was brilliant.

I think I remember seeing something from the mods, or paraphrasing the mods, that said something like: "We don't want people to get only involved in their own conversations, and we are concerned that a notification system will bias people towards not reading widely, and just reading things they've directly contributed to."

My memory may be faulty, and that might be wrong, but I seem to recall something like it.

Personally, I used HNNotify and lament its demise. I'm idly considering scripting a personal replacement- for me it wouldn't be worth the significant investment in time and effort to make something robust enough for general use. Perhaps someone might create a new version.

Edit: I see the comment[0] from dangrossman[1] mentions a replacement for HNNotify - I might give that a try.

What is the relevance of past oil prices in the future? Especially in light of photovoltaics?
That's just not true. For example, universal basic income--a leftist idea even by European standards--has been discussed several times on HN. Lots of substantive comments both for and against.

> > That's an asinine argument, as a tax payer I'm "forced" to subsidise many things I don't personally benefit from.

> "There are other bad things, so you can't object to this new bad thing!"

The OP never said the things they did not benefit from were bad. Merely that as a tax payer, you pay for things that you personally do not always benefit from directly. You might think these are bad, but this is not the same as them being bad.

I do not personally benefit from having, say, wheelchair accessible housing requirements. This does not mean it is bad to have those requirements -- I simply do not use a wheelchair. This is only the simplest case imaginable. So your reply comes off as a bit of a farce, I think.

Your argument seems to hinge on premises like the fact there is a definitive moral/societal calculus by which we can determine if something is "good for us", so we should/should not do it (it's "immoral" to subsidize having children, but many would argue the same about providing birth control), that we should even treat it as a 'subsidy' vs 'investment' or 'just a good idea' (if we're "subsidizing" children, why even do it for 3 weeks? why not only give 3 days of parental leave?) or that there is a definitive, negative result to be the whole outcome, regardless of context (e.g. that extended parental leave is a definitive societal drain vs the value to be reaped in the same period). If it does not rely on these premises, I apologize, but that's what I read of it.

Skipping the bits about morals (you will not do well to convince people on that one) - is there any evidence to suggest that extended parental leave, as offered by EU countries (your quoted bit from the OP) for example, results in sustained economic or societal "subsidization" that has observable, long-lasting negative effects?
I've seen that sentiment in a couple of places, and the answer is fairly simple: The first season gave us a show about a heterogeneous team of hackers (plenty of ages, both males and females, different personalities, etc.) trying to "fight the man", so to speak.

The hacking, portrayed as fairly realistic, especially for people used to Hollywood craziness, and the fight (against financial institutions) pulled quite a lot of people.

Then, fairly suddenly, you get hit with a mental illness angle. A lot of people didn't ask for it, and don't really welcome it. It's not just a show about hacking now. It's a show about a very mentally ill man with a particular set of baggage trying to cope with it, while being part/the leader of a very notorious hack team.

So yeah, if you really like the first season, you might not like the second one much. At least so far.
Yes, especially given the zeitgeist around A/B testing, that seems unlikely.
> or to have foreign social networking companies plaster agenda driven poitical propoganda to people in your country

As an American, I don't have a problem with the news website RT being accessible in my country, despite the fact that it's a blatant propaganda arm of the Russian government aimed at Americans. If we allow our government to censor sites like RT, then we run the risk of anything that disparages the government being censored as well.
I agree with you.

I think that at the very minimum automatic page generation should convert the README file to HTML by default.

That's correct. A Magnet link contains a hash of the file/s so it can be verified to be identical to the original during download. So you can't put the hash in there if you don't have the file yet.

> The Tesla can’t even reach 160km/h

This is just factually inaccurate. Searching youtube for "model s autobahn"[0] results in dozens of counter examples, including accelerations from 0-240km/h and cruising in excess of 200km/h for 40-60km (I watched a couple of the acceleration videos to verify the titles, but did not verify the long-distance ones maintained the speed)

Per Tesla's website, the slowest Tesla you can buy now will top out at ~210km/h, though I think that used to be ~195 before they went to all-wheel standard.

Insulting to whom? While it's a generalization, it's pretty much accurate in the entirety of my personal and professional experience. Some good competent folks work for the government, but they are drowned out to the point of absurdity by the masses of folks doing enough to not get fired. Which generally means showing up on time and not doing something the other bored employees in the office can complain to your manager about.

I have pretty extensive experience with it at both local and state levels, with some experience on the Federal side. There are certain agencies and careers that seem to still attract decent folks, but they seem exceedingly rare.
Maybe I don't understand you. Are you suggesting that, if you find a vulnerability in a piece of software, you aren't ethically obligated to confidentially disclose the vulnerability to the maintainer so it can be patched before the vulnerability becomes publicly known? If so, why? What is a person who found a vulnerability ethically obligated to do?

We have a pretty extensive comparison here of S3 vs Netlify:

https://www.netlify.com/blog/2015/03/06/comparing-netlify-an...

You're completely forgetting Continuous deployment in your comparison, which is a pretty big part of the modern static workflow. This includes things like pushing branches to different URLs, having a way to previewing pull requests, caching dependencies between runs, etc, etc... It's a huge part of our service.

Apart from that, if you ever work with static publishing and a CDN, and actually tried making the CDN cache your HTML assets, you'll instantly run into problems with instant cache invalidation and atomic deploys. You'll never run into these issues with netlify.

Rollbacks are possible with git, but previewing any version you've any deployed at any time are not something you can do.

Even basic things, like getting both your naked domain and the wwww domain to work correctly will often take developer time on that platform (how much do you bill your time at? Hopefully more than $49/month).

As for cost - our free plan is super generous and cover pretty much every thing you'll get with the alternative setup you mention. And for personal projects or open source projects we even give away our Pro plan for free!

The people that pay for our plans are typically not developers but their clients or employers who care about the best performance, highest uptime, and fastest speed of development.

Somewhat related - How to turn off Cortana

http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-tip-turn-off-cortana...
I'd almost like to have this job. I'm a huge Barnes & Noble fan, as I have been shopping with them for 25 or more years now. I want to see B&N survive and thrive, but I continue to be perplexed by some of their efforts.

Dedicating more shelf space to games, toys and educational stuff is actually, IMO, a good part idea to a point. But I believe they have to A. focus on being a book store first and foremost, which means their have to be plenty of interesting books on the shelves for people to buy, and B. do a better job of integrating those initiatives to cross-sell across domains. And HUGELY important, they need to come up with a better "clicks and mortar" strategy to integrate their web presence with their physical stores. And bn.com simply needs to deliver a better experience in general, across the board.

From talking to friends who work there, it sounds like local store manager are given fairly little autonomy in terms of deciding what items to shelve as well. I think this is a mistake as the demographics around different stores is going to vary and the inventory should vary correspondingly. Giving the local managers (who should be more in touch with the local community) some flexibility should help. That and, of course, using analytics and BI / "big data" techniques to help map inventory to store locations.

I'm also liking that they've started selling "maker" themed items.. rPi's, Arduinos, drones, etc. But right now that stuff is just kinda sitting there. They should find more ways to tie things together by collaborating with local makerspaces and schools to have "math and science night" or little mini maker faire type events. They already do some of this, but I think they could do a better job of both promoting the Maker movement and selling more merchandise at the same time. Of course they also need to be somewhat price competitive and right now I think a lot of their maker stuff is running a bit on the expensive side.

Anyway... I guess I've ranted enough. And I've spent way more time than is healthy thinking about what I'd do if I were CEO of B&N. :-)
Really? To me, the thing that is most discouraging about HN is the rampant closed mindedness. For example, anyone who questions the long term safety of genetically modifying organisms and eating them, will always be downvoted to oblivion.

The danger is that you're at risk to a surge in oil prices. While the company may not be well run, if oil prices rise, you could get killed in the short. The ideal trade would have some kind of oil price hedge too.
> So, if you're judging someone's net worth by the things they happen to own, the whole point is that this is not a reliable indicator of how much wealth someone actually has.

I actually think automation makes it more important to gain strong skills rather than less, because it's increasing inequality. It's just you need to gain transferable skills that are resistant to automation. We go into much more detail here:

I'm not so sure. Their reserves are massive + cheap to extract. Oil isn't going to go away anytime soon, even if we wanted it to. And even if the value of crude dropped another 25-50%, it's still quite valuable.

The problem is that it's located in Saudi Arabia. I doubt they have decent corporate governance + non-interference from the state.
For your use case, I'd recommend that you either combine them using SAN certificates, as one commenter suggested, or issue them over the span of a few weeks. Processing rate limit requests is one of the few non-automated tasks we do, and we really try to keep the volume to a minimum so we don't get overwhelmed.

> And pump more money into fully general cures for all disabilities

I find this a disingenuous interpretation of how certain disabilities work and how "curable" they may be. Certain degenerative conditions are hardly understood, or the treatment requires time and reasonable accommodations from society such as the need for ramps and wheelchair accessibility. I do not know a way for non-supply-side costs to factor in "being able to use a wheelchair and still function in society".
We badly need an alternative to Nvidia/CUDA for deep learning... but realistically, if Intel wants to make headway in the deep learning market, it must offer hardware that can not only compete on performance with Nvidia, but also work out-of-the-box (that is, without requiring lots of one-off tinkering and tweaking) with popular deep/machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow, Caffe, Torch, and Theano.

There is a lot of software infrastructure being built atop these frameworks, and switching costs are getting higher by the day. No one wants to use some kind of 'non-standard' fork of [name your DL framework of choice] customized for Intel hardware, because such a fork can quickly get stale in comparison to the upstream project.

Intel needs to be both better/faster and drop-in compatible with the popular frameworks.

Unfortunately, most of the radio shows I listen to are hosted on Soundcloud, and I find the app is incredibly frustrating.

* If you stop a song and come back in a few minutes, it has forgotten and goes back to the start of the song. If you leave it for a few hours, it just restarts the app and goes to the homepage, and you have no way of figuring out what you were listening to.

* On accounts that update regularly, you have to refresh recent tracks manually every time, as it aggressively caches results which are usually weeks old.

* The player interface is too minimal. It puts so much emphasis on the track cover which is silly because it's a music app.

* The touch gestures are annoying and it's too easy to go accidently to the next track when you are seeking through a track

Seeing screenshots of the old app, it looks more like an upgrade of the current app.
I've worked 80hrs per week. It does happen. The reason for the work was the company was taking off and there was a huge "pull" to do more hours. Every hour of work would produce great returns.

It's probably impossible to "push" 80hrs of work a week on a startup that's not working , or you're trying to get it off the ground.

Nah. You can't plug the analog hole, it's impossible - that's the point of calling it that. Your ears are analog, so somewhere along the way the signal has to become analog.

Worst case, you replace your ears with a microphone. Easier: tear open a pair of headphones and get at the driver wires. Easiest: buy one of the inevitable adapters for connecting iPhones to home stereos.
