> For example of Hangouts issues, the SMS integration had all sorts of weird cases going on and wasn't reliable. I ended up having to turn it off to get texts for short-message texts from Google itself. I did some digging and since those came through a different channel somehow they were getting dropped by one of the systems and weren't getting flagged as needing to be delivered to me.

I had something similar to this happen a year or two ago. Messaged not showing up, or silently showing up later, and generally from one or two people of those I used hangouts with. In my case it was either a separate app that still thought it was the default SMS application (so Messages was default for SMS, but Hangouts was still set up to be integrated with SMS, or possibly it went weird if Messages was running even if Hangouts was the default SMS app), and once I disabled the old app, I got much more consistent behavior.

Most Americans aren't constantly moving dollars between investment accounts to eek out more interest (a terrible idea for many reasons!). In a world of negative interest rates, US savings accounts aren't so bad. The problem is most don't have adequate savings.

Are you aware Fight Club was first and foremost a book? If you've had the opporto read the author's other books you'd likely distinguish a vein of an original artistic contribution that run through his material, straight through to Mr Robot. I'm speaking specifically of the philosophy here. So to also adopt the plot and style so heavily, I just can't.

So for someone to dismiss out of hand with so little consideration, as you did, the artistic licence which was taken with the material in this instance, and then to follow-up without considering my follow-up comment, that is condescending in its own right. To right off the other's thoughts so glibly.

And sorry, but working in the gaming industry does not give someone authoritative rights on being able to call out a rip-off. It's possible you missed something here. In which case it might not be the worst thing in the world to fully consider the other person's arguments prior to responding to the comment by simply stating you hadn't changed your position. A very dismissive response.
It's not "fairly certain", it's absolutely certain.

Very true, culture is a type of information system and it depends on distribution,

so at some point the cause of alot of problems lies at corporate media production creating a positive feedback loop of shitty culture (low quality information).

The longterm solution is clear, its a waste of effort to try and put the tubepaste back into the tube.
Although really they're not producing it, they're extracting it. Selling more when the price is low might not be the best idea.
Cops do that every day too, it's just that nobody wants to admit it. That's the real problem. The leap from finding some excuse to charge someone to creating an excuse is just too small.
If Mike is still here in the comments, can you talk a little bit about versioning support? Is this something that's on the roadmap at all, or something that Homebrew has a strong opinion about?

In general, it's a very useful (and pleasant to use!) tool - except for when trying to manage different versions of the same dependency on the same system. Since this is such a big deviation from most package managers, and feels intentional, I'd like to understand why, and whether there is a "homebrew way" of approaching multi-version management.

Thanks again for all of your hard work!

This is another one of those "your tone suggests you disagree with me, but you're just repeating my point back at me" posts. I told you "Shapify" was a neutral word that you can pour your own connotations into. A lot of brands are. What's a "Cisco"? What's a "Nike" in a country where most people won't get the classical allusion? What's a "Coke"?

I can second this. It's like rubber duck debugging but "past you" is explaining it to "future you" who is in a different mindset.

Most of my biggest breakthroughs have happened because of something like this.

Researchers wirelessly hit the brakes in a Model S, Tesla patches quickly
At the end of the review, the author also complains about Apple neglecting Mac hardware which 'is no longer running circles around the rest of the PC industry'.

I had the same thoughts a few weeks ago—I needed to buy a new notebook and coming from many years on several Macbook Pros, I was disappointed that Apple hasn't done any significant refreshes for years. So, I decided just to get a nice Thinkpad and put Ubuntu or Windows on it. This journey—and it was a journey taking weeks—was infuriating and I realized that Apple is still way ahead, even with three years old hardware.

To make it short: I faced so many frustrations on the other side just to buy a non-Apple notebook. I lost so much time with find the right notebook that I finally decided for a three year old Macbook Pro maxed out with a Intel quad core HQ CPU—which runs circles around all current notebooks, performance-wise and battery-wise, even the just launched Kaby Lake U series.

Here just a few of these disappointments which brought me back to a 'coasting platform' as the author says: even the best trackpads in the non-Apple-world are still crap, Thinkpad suffer from display lottery (two suppliers two qualities), displays not matching Apple quality and brightness, PWM for brightness control, hidpi screens are still not fully supported by the OS as on macOS, on Windows it's ok, on Ubuntu so-so, but never the consistent crispiness of macOS, good non-Apple-hardware is not cheaper, Thinkpads can get really, really expensive, too much choice with little difference, worse quality control, battery-time never matches Apple's, very often tacky designs (except Thinkpads), innovation takes wrong direction (who needs 2-in-1s), 5K display support (Windows is kind of capable, Linux not), wake-up problems (notebooks don't come back from sleep and if something is not working, trackpad, Wifi, etc.)...

It's often very small stuff but my notebook is my daily driver and it's shocking that a three year old MBP still crushes all brand new notebooks from competitors.

The "obvious weakness" is the non-technical part of this: you can sign up to Dropbox (and most services for that matter) with an extremely weak password. I just signed up with a dummy email address and a password of "password". :-) If you look through password lists that have leaked online, the most common passwords are very easily guessable.

Anyway, not trying to dismiss their efforts here -- they're good. But this is only half of the equation.
Presumption of innocence implies that the default attitude towards accusers is healthy skepticism plus a willingness to listen. This is necessary because if we are not skeptical nearly anyone can successfully attack anyone else with impunity and destroy their reputation and if we aren't willing to listen we risk ignoring victimization.

In this case the proposed victim is silent on the matter and there is not only no proof there aren't even any details. My default assumption of skepticism leads me to conclude in the total absence of any other information that the individual was fired for some other reason and the accusations of bias was erroneous.

Bond rates are low too and have transaction costs. Very poor substitute for a savings account with an emergency fund.

If you've got account fees on your savings account you need a new bank. Hint - just because there's one on every corner and their headquarters is a 40 story building downtown doesn't mean it's a good bank.

Local banks and credit unions are almost always better for you and your money..

Short-term, low-risk bonds (like T-bills) have super low interest rates also.

Longer-term bonds are significantly higher risk than a savings account.
I would like to see what % of the stock market is held by individuals. 0 in savings but 100K in the stock market..if you get an average Div Yield of 2% (not difficult if you add AT&T, PCG, GE, DUK etc etc to your holdings) you would get a much better return, not even counting the price increase. Also how many people have 0 in savings but 100K+ in 401K/IRA accounts. Nobody saves in a cash account for retirement right? why would you, you get no tax break
We do have the HN god particle: dang. He can alter its trajectory to point towards the trash can. :)
IIRC, it can, at least for a medical emergency. Of course, you have to pay it back, with interest...
There are security reasons as well.

If you do a lot of transactions from your checking account, and only occasionally transfer from savings to checking, then the former is more likely to be compromised than the latter.

This difference increases if you use your checking account online, at via third party pin entry devices, or even at your bank's ATMs while only accessing your savings account from a teller in your bank. All of the former methods of access can be compromised and you can lose the contents of your checking account -- which would be limited if you didn't keep all of your money in your checking account.

Unlike credit cards, bank accounts aren't protected against theft or fraud, so the risk of theft is a real possibility that could cost you.

> Performance? Just how fast do you type, anyway?

The UI lags hard for me during common operations, such as opening the app, and sending messages; often there's a several second lag between pressing the send button, the entry field blanking, and the message finally showing up in the conversation w/ UI indicating that it's in the process of being sent.

And occasionally, yes, I out-type the app & phone's ability to process keyboard input. My phone is a bit old, but that seems like an excuse more than anything; I don't really understand why it's so hard for a device w/ a processor that measures its speed in GHz and RAM measured in GB to keep up with a single app whose job is to send text messages.

But alas, the phone world's opinion is that I should upgrade to the latest and greatest $400-$600 phone every 18 months.
What do you do if the situation you are in do not allow time to sit down and perform deep introspective behavior? I find myself very easily falling into introspection to the point where my mind often cries out for it if I go without for a while. However, my current work and the balancing of multiple careers (as a programmer, as a writer) and social obligations mean I often don't have time and feel intense stress/distress at the inability to commune with myself for long periods of time. I also know I suffered greatly in college due to similar distress. How does one find the time to oneself when the world demands ones time?

Just to counterbalance some anecdotes, I-- as well as many friends; have literally no savings and very little in the way of assets. Given trends towards renting, part-time pay, lack of employee benefits and on-demand services; many Americans have little in the way of assets
They really need to say in the article what they mean by savings, because otherwise it is useless. And if it means literal saving accounts, then who cares.
You're probably thinking to deeply about this. I think most people are "storing" their money in consumable assets that they are likely immediately consuming - aka broke. Thinking about what you have your money in is pretty high level for a lot of people I think.
Sure of course.

I'm just staying that if you start with "I don't understand why our law enforcement standards are currently so low!" then you're probably not going to be helpful in fixing the problem.

Gotta diagnose first. Diagnoses comes with empathy and understanding.
No. Ordinary people don't demand stupid things like that, but governments want those things. So governments invent narratives about the children or whatever is the easiest for people to get emotional and protective about and push their agendas onto them. People, of course, being so easily influenced, buy this and approve government initiatives.
Thats a pretty big cliche.

As long as they(Google) don't study why WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app, I don't think they will ever dominate this market. Here are the most important 2 things in my opinion that made whatsapp #1 messaging app.

- WhatsApp tried to reach everyone from the beginning. Founders knew that not everyone in world has enough money to buy a shiny phone every year.

- WhatsApp uses minimal bytes possible to send your messages to other side. This will be the only choice for people who have expensive data plans all over the world, and those who are travelling often and roaming enabled.

I am not even sure if my 4 years old android phone will be able to install the app. So will this app have a great success? I don't think so.
Index funds, through a reputable and low-overhead fund like Vanguard's; you'll never do worse than the market. They can absolutely go down, so don't put any money in them that you might need right away, but as a long-term investment, they'll always give you a rate of return approximating the overall economy.
These are vulnerable to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, their value drops.
I think it helps to define what we are talking about. "Hangouts" can be the system overall, the web interface (and which one, Inbox, Gmail or video chat?), or the mobile phone app, of which it may behavior differently on the different phone OSs. Hangouts is usually very timely and responsive for me when using Inbox or Gmail. The Android app is slow and annoying. I've never used the iOS app.

According to the article, the question they asked is literally, "How much money do you have saved in your savings account?"
A CD ladder or I Bonds will earn more than most savings accounts and is still risk free and easily accessible after a short period.
You seem to have a problem with adjectives. "Many" is not most. I don't need a "survey" to establish the "many" when I can just read many people expressing their concerns on HN. That's "many" enough for me.

Now, to be clear, by "people" I mean "humans" not "abstract sentients including AIs that don't yet exist", and by "concerns" I mean "things that are at least slightly negative to the thinker" and not "things that keep the thinker up at night wetting the bed and driving them to fits of existential madness", etc. etc.

Yes, that was my point. The idea was to poke fun at your expressed disappointment at this free update. However, I forgot that to attempt sarcasm on the internet is never a good idea. And that also my comment was poor contribution either way. Sorry.
> Can you explain their contribution

On the materials side there are things such as the resin the British team coats the bikes in is applied and manufactured by McLaren.

I think the greatest contribution is probably the data analysis they provide the team during the events (for example, the british team bring their own cameras, sensors on everything that moves, etc.) . More info: http://www.mclaren.com/appliedtechnologies/case-study/uk-spo...

> Some implementations of bcrypt truncate the input to 72 bytes, which reduces the entropy of the passwords.... By applying [SHA512], we can quickly convert really long passwords into a fixed length 512 bit value, solving [that problem].

This part confused me. How can truncating to 72 bytes be a more severe reduction in entropy than generating a 64-byte hash?
Is that a statement or a question? Yes, it is free.
You're basically saying the same thing as I am.

I don't deny that there are better investment vehicles than a savings account. I'm just asking whether there is something of similarly low risk with a better interest rate. Stocks are definitely not lower-risk.
It took me 30 minutes to set up my C-corp in Colorado. You just go online and register.. pay $50 and pick a name. What did you do?
My bank insists on calling its high yield savings account a checking account. In the past banks tended to value savings accounts because the Fed requires less reserve on these. Nowadays reserves are more than abundant. Investors tend to value checking account deposits more because they think transaction accounts are more stable over time. So it is a naming game.
That basic modal semantic ui is using is simply fantastic. Large file size or not, this is definitely on my list of frameworks to try now.
I am still running Android 1.6. Google services - Gmail doesn't seem to work anymore (and I never used it very much), Maps I do use and they work, Talk I never used, Market I think worked OK till about a year ago. I cannot upgrade most apps I have on it, because the new version doesn't work on such old Android. I pretty much only use it today for calls and texting, and that works, and I guess most apps I have on it (including original Google Apps for things like Music, Calendar etc.) still works.

Regarding browsing, yeah, it's somewhat usable in emergency (the pages will load) but I never got very used to do it because the speed was always abysmal here (Czech Republic). The original Google browser still works.

So, I guess I cannot recommend buying one now (although perhaps with Cyanogenmod it would be better), but it works for me and I really wish I could replace it with something that has keyboard. :-(
> "> 250K base salary (total > 300K comp)"

This point will keep lots of people making >$300k out of the conversation if "base" is taken to mean cash compensation (which is what I would take it to mean).

I've gotten offers in the past year for north of $300k in liquid assets but in all of those cases equity made up >40% of the deal.

Credit cards are fine for it. The logistics of getting money out of a savings account is slightly more annoying than a card if you are in an emergency.
They do say. It's in the first sentence, in big letters at the top of the first chart, and repeated several times after.

Edit: to make this more productive than just a "read the article!" comment, they are specifically talking about savings accounts, not any other kind of savings.
