This is exactly the attitude I describe above. Why does Bootstrap need maintaining?

It's a pile of CSS and a few scripts to show and hide things. And it has had three years of effort put in to make sure everything works mostly as it should. That's not going to change.

We're just not going to get anything new. It was fine for production use yesterday. What has changed that makes it less fine today?
"In addition to wages, the census includes dividends, rental income and cash benefits (like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and unemployment benefits). But it excludes noncash benefits like food stamps (which benefit the poor) and capital gains (which tend to benefit the rich)."

This is really a strange way to look at it. It is comparing the 'rich' middle class to the rest of the middle class and ignoring the extremes.

Whenever a great profit is being made, basic theory says that the market should work to push things back to normal. When that doesn't happen it is an indicator that something is off-kilter.

So, what is off-kilter here? What occupations are at the tip of the elephant's trunk? Why aren't the people riding the elephant's back pushing into that part of the market? Is it an education problem? A capital allocation problem? Regulatory capture? This is the question that needs answering.

I am curious how you have used the information to change your product to reduce the churn? What are the results? How would you scale this if you had a larger customer based?

(Separately I am always amazed at how larger companies do a lame attempt at the same thing by expecting me to fill out a long survey with simplistic categories after a luxury purchase where they could clearly afford to give the person touch and show actual interest in my answers).
amusingly, the "one-line" server is not only "not really one line", but also contains a number of errors and other incongruities:

1. there's no reason to put : at the start

2. z=aa is the same length as z=$r

3. there are double quotes where there shouldn't be and none where there should

4. the sed quoting is wrong and only works since file names cannot be empty

5. useless use of subshells

6. won't work on echos which don't parse escape sequences or don't accept -e

7. parsing ls

but most importantly, the whole first part can easily use TLS with "openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -subj /CN=localhost -keyout server.pem -out server.pem; openssl s_server".
>, Facebook may just be the wrong audience for a B2B tool.

Well, at least you can say that the 20k € was spent to learn that signups from Facebook have a near-zero retention rate. (That's not meant to be a flippant comment.)

A lot of successful websites seem to know (or learned) which market channels bring in the right customers.

For Stackoverflow.com: most traffic comes via referrals from google.com searches -- but not facebook

For Craftsy.com: it's referrals from Facebook -- but not google search queries

For a project management tool like yours, neither Google Adwords(1) nor Facebook newsfeed ads will work. Maybe a strategy such as hosting for free a high-profile open-source project so your brand gains mindshare. Then it may attract non-open-source paying customers.

That subsidy strategy for non-profit customers is not foolproof (as it didn't seem to help BitKeeper) but it did seem to work for Github.

(1) I suppose you could try running an AdWords campaign on keywords such "project management" and related competitor keywords such as "Jira" and "Microsoft Project" -- but I doubt you'd get quality clicks from it

Well, you could always look at citations. And I don't think they are as easy to game as links between general websites, because in research at least the authors publish using their own names (and you don't want to get a bad rep for gaming the system).
Why Trump Doesn’t Scare Me
I'm building a new application on v4 at the moment and there are definitely bugs. But as a solo developer (yea, this is a 'side' project, albeit one I'm taking somewhat seriously) who isn't particularly skilled in UI design I couldn't imagine trying to whip up an interface without something like Bootstrap (or Foundation, et al.). I'd end up with something functional but with a decidedly 1990s vibe :)
US police definitely has to stop seeing itself as another form of military. Here in LA I see billboard ads for police recruitment with some super fit people and words like "Courage" and others. Pretty much the same style as the Marines ads. They never mention "Service" or "Peace". Seems they want to attract wannabe soldiers.

Robot Macroeconomics: What can several centuries of economic history teach us?
I suspect many lonelies don't conform to the conventional "nuclear family" which makes it harder to find social outlets. Or they're older and/or divorced.

It seems to me like there used to be a lot more clubs and interest groups meeting regularly 20 years ago. In my area (near Philly) all the meetups seem to take place near our downtown metro area, creating travel constraints which make it hard for someone without a car to attend. And even then, most clubs meet only once a month, which doesn't make for much human contact.

I suspect the availability of interest groups on the web/net has diminished the demand to meet in person, which no doubt contributes to the loss of interpersonal bonding.
"Their", riiight. Also, either it's not linked to you, xor you can get a replacement: otherwise, to whom are "they" reissuing the replacement? "Yeah, I am onelly, trust me, I only lost my device, I'm not NSA trying to snoop on him, honest."

Seems to me it was stated that it will be maintained, just that commits will slow down. Plus, it's open source, why can't the community work on the last open issues while the team moves forward on v4 which is already falling behind?

Not really, comments like this are often wrong or misleading. After all, the programmer hasn't actually tested anything, they're just making assumptions. Otherwise they'd have actually fixed it.

It's just pointless noise.

A profiler will tell you that a particular function was run 10,000 times costing 0.5ms per run. You're not going to have a problem tracking down the problem, the comment won't help.

The trick is to minimize aggregate kWh of energy use per unit task. Sometimes that means ordering a take out, and occasionally baking a pie.

A lot of the time I'm in the position of buildng upstream tools and platforms for people downstream, so whatever I do has a direct impact on their performance. The way I look at it is it is my duty to make them look good.

I do take that a little far though on occasion. Shipping is a feature too of course. Heh.
From TFA: "Other former students are pushing to have their debts canceled by alleging that the company defrauded them into taking out the debt by advertising false job-placement rates."

EV certificates may improve a user's awareness of a spoofed page, but cannot do anything to make it more technically difficult to execute.

Providing an HTTPS login with an otherwise HTTP site is vulnerable to redirection to HTTP or to another site.

There is lots of evidence that suggests that in this configuration, cookies are often not set up properly (secure only) and can therefore be transmitted and stolen over HTTP.
That their credits had virtually no chance of transferring to any other institution --- a point ITT was forced to make on its own website --- is a pretty good reason not to allow it to be the beneficiary of billions of dollars of public financing.
I actually think that the duck (ddg.gg) is better. I now find it difficult to use google, which feels clunky and capricious. I make thousands of queries a day for work, so I really can't excuse poor performance.

For a while I would switch back to google when my searches failed and I wanted to check if the duck was getting me equivalent or better answers. In the past year and a half I've completely stopped. It is simply a high-quality product that exceeds google in what it offers.

Maybe you'll respond that "it just doesn't 'feel' high quality". OK, I can't argue with that because it's your opinion... but as long as we collectively decide to believe this fantasy we will continue to be locked into the search juggernaut. You can help improve the diversity of options by using something different and get to use a better product.

The only thing that I can't do on the duck is search academic papers. Google scholar is still the best thing of its type.

Next generation slides for Jupyter Notebooks
This is from May, but the commitment is welcome none the less. As other comments mention there are plenty of ways for academic papers to be free to read and for us to still have a broken system.

In the UK, 'green route' or self-archiving means that, after a moratorium, you can put your paper on your institution's website. The moratorium could be three years, so it's still highly restrictive and locks in commercial publishers' profits.

My view is that a 'knowledge commons' system could easily work. Wikipedia apparently spends $50 million in total. I believe a similar amount of funding would easily support an academic publishing ecosystem in which publishing and reading are free.

I present some more detail here:

In his book 'Bailout', the Special Inspector General of TARP, Neil Barofsky, lists a multitude of reasons as to why so many Americans were wrongly foreclosed on by mortgage servicers.

At the top of the list was fraud and lies by the mortgage servicers, many of whom lied to homeowners and convinced them to skip payments on their homes in the hopes of qualifying for a modification, so that they could rack up late fees and then foreclose.
I think it's more than just syntax - it's culture. In C++, free standing functions has been a part of the culture of the language since the beginning. The design of the language encourages them - there are even cases, such as operator overloading, where it's preferable to implement it as a free standing function rather than a class method. In Java, when I write a class that is a collection of static methods, I feel like I'm fighting against the language and it's culture, even though they are sometimes used.

Ask HN: VCard service with API / self-hosted

A lot of stuff in System.Drawing is pure algorithm and should be easy to port to other platforms. It will be tricky once you do screen output but the image processing routines shouldn't be too hard to port and they are super useful for a lot of web apps that do reporting and other things.
I just downloaded it to try it out and it seems you can't import any definitions other than a proprietary one, as far as I can tell. I was excited to use something other than postman, but we have WAY too endpoints to be writing it all manually instead of leveraging swagger. Maybe I'll check it out next version, I hate how the environment variables work in Postman.
> I really feel for all the students who are so close to graduating and not knowing if they'll have anything to show for it.. And their credits will most likely not transfer to another school because of the different accreditations.

I'm pretty sure the ones that graduated have no chance of their credits transferring either. Only difference is they saved whatever the last couple tuition payments would have been.
In a commercial sense, you're right, but if they have telemetry from the recent mishap which allows them to identify and fix a serious design flaw, then it absolutely is beneficial to their R&D. Especially when you consider that they're winding up for manned missions. Losing a satellite on the launch pad is not so much of an issue compared with losing an ISS crew.

Mmh, I only partially agree. That may be true if the Mission is a reason which is proposed by the upper management.

On the other hand, if I call it Purpose, that's perfectly justified.

Company A provides a great environment, chances to learn, and a product that has a purpose, and makes you feel fulfilled and happy at what you're doing, and your salary is 150K.

Company B provides a dull and boring environment, but pays you 200K. Maybe that +50K is to actually compensate you for the boredom.

This supposes that 150K is still a "good enough" salary to put the money question off the table; as Daniel Pink explains in "Drive", once that level is reached more money does not mean more satisfaction; but more Purpose and more Autonomy, on the contrary, do.

Add resource protection and you'll get a full blown OS, with a Linux-like performance or worse.

But if you just want it to be preemptive, you'll need a small supervisor, a heavier memory manager, and some context switches. You'll get about the same performance green threads get on modern languages.

We solved the first problem through a separate tool, which labels the user with the originating source when registering.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. If you're spending any significant amount of money on advertising, you need to be doing this. Don't rely solely on third-party cookies and session unification attempts. If you have a USER table in your database/crm, add the five UTM fields to it! Conversions for most businesses are a multi-day and, often times, multi-device process.

This is why Bitcoin is going to win - it is good enough for a lot of use cases and getting better. At the same time, it's the most widely accepted and the most secure. The network effect is too strong to overcome unless you offer something Bitcoin cannot.
...Why?

To be clear: I proposed, if even possible, that would actually be a good way to resolve this debate.

"Yes, you can keep your guns, they're just totally ineffective at harming people now".

I wasn't taking a stance for/against gun control, or more broadly for/against the US Constitution. Telling someone to "just move to [some other country]" is needlessly hostile; the message it sends is, "You aren't welcome here."

The author of this post proposed a straw man of a "crazy sounding idea" to illustrate "solving the wrong problem"; what I'm saying is that it would be the right problem to solve if it were even possible.

(As far as my actual politics go on this matter: I'd like to see mandatory gun safety taught in places where they aren't illegal to prevent accidental misuse. Friends of friends have lost their lives to mishandled firearms. That's all you'll get out of me on HN.)

And then people in your country probably get all upset when things cost way more. See "ripoff Britain" or all of the controversy in Australia. Your politicians won't break you the hard truth, but the reason why you pay more is that it's more expensive to sell to you.

I've seen some discussion of letting credits transfer using something called Prior Learning Assessment, essentially having the student prove they've learned the material taught in various courses at the receiving institution.

http://suburbdad.blogspot.ca/2016/09/friday-fragments.html

Transfer of any sort tends to be tricky. You rarely get anything close to parity, particularly in core courses.
There are several other very important reasons missing from this article, which I think invalidate part of the argument.

One is widespread use of open wifi networks. I know many people don't bother to redirect traffic through a VPN when on open wifi, which means anyone on the network can monitor their traffic. This might be mostly innocuous, but at the worst, they can steal login credentials and personal info.

The second is ad/analytics tracking networks. By using SSL, you force your trackers to be SSL as well. Small comfort for those who despise this anyway, but it's better than these networks moving plain text identifiers and info about you around, allowing it to be monitored as you surf around the web.

I believe the third is widespread government surveillance/mass spying. By using SSL you do two things: prevent (or at least complicate) the 3rd party interception of data, and also decrease the signal-to-noise ratio (making it less likely that any given encrypted stream is actually something valuable and worth breaking).
Even if you have one car for a family that size, that's still less than a typical middle-class American family that would have one for each adult.
For-profit companies have pressure to show consistent revenue growth and this becomes their #1 priority. In the case of ITT tech, a large amount of their revenue came from tuition backed by federal loans. Non-profits schools have a similar pressure for their endowment fundraising, however that revenue comes mostly from alumni and not new/current students.
That's true - and as a taxpayer, I don't relish the idea of funding things like this that are taking advantage of people... but I have to admit I feel a little icky at the thought of pulling something that might act as a ladder of economic mobility - even for just a few people - out from under them. It's like we're saying to people that don't fit into the "traditional" mold of college-goer: "You can't go to ITT any more"... OK, but what do they take on to better their station now? I just can't think of a great anwser to that, other than bloviating about theories of "post-scarcity" that do nothing to help these people and it makes me feel bad.
I don't think you can really walk on the surface. There's hardly any gravity.
So to mitigate the possible effects of the colleges all suddenly shutting down they were told to put up a huge amount of collateral, which caused them to all suddenly shut down?

That's quite a mitigation strategy the government has going on there.
What is "the TV consensus?" Google does not turn up anything useful for this term.
I am personaly happy to see the hammer come down on these for-profit universities. I too feel for the students as I was one of the Corinthian Colleges students a few years ago at Everest University through one of the Florida campuses. My degree program was the A.S. in Computer Information Sciences -- such a waste. Look up the job placement rates for that program in 2010, just insane.

Thankfully I too have been able to take advantage of the Department of Education relief. But I have to go through the process of the “borrower defense to repayment”. It continues to be a tough process but at least it some form of relief for me.

I hope former ITT students are able to find a quick resoluton. This type of school shutdown is not easy on anyone.

On another note, I wonder if this is the start of the 'higher-ed debt bubble' that has been predicted for quite some time now...
