They tend to be major, but only 11 of 19 (11 of 17 that exist) go from one geo extreme to the other. Sorry highway numbers are a hobby of mine (yes I know strange hobby).

It's an interesting question. In my experience people often have this idea that AWS can scale infinitely, and get shocked when they are faced with the AWS limits ("but I thought we could just spin up 200 instances, what do you mean we have to ask them to increase limits?"), and I've actually had errors from the EC2 api telling us there were no instances of a given instance type available (one of the larger/more unusual instance types, in one of the smaller regions).

But their margins should be large enough, and have been for so many years, that they should have been able to take that into account and adjust expansion accordingly.

I'm more inclined to think that they have simply decided to milk it while they can. I rarely meet people who have any clue what their infrastructure choices actually cost them and what they would pay elsewhere, and I regularly have conversations about how much people believe they'd save by moving to/from provider X where it transpires that said person hasn't even tried costing it out but are certain they'll save money. I also regularly talk to IT departments that have no kind of budget or forecasting in place for their hosting requirements. The state of budgeting for server infrastructure is simply shocking. In that kind of environment, if you price based on actual cost, rather than based on whether or not people believe you're expensive, you're leaving money on the table.
I clicked the link, saw that popup and had to share that abomination. What the hell.
I am not discussing who you should vote for. I am discussing whether Hillary Clinton is a corrupt person. Those are two different questions.

If Trump[1] is even worse, then sure, vote for Hillary. But that doesn't mean that she's good or that people have to like her.

As an aside: if that were the argument Hillary fans had been making the whole time: "Yeah, we know Hillary is bad and corrupt, but at least she's way better than Trump, so you should vote for her", then I would respect them a lot more.

Instead, it's mostly been a chorus of "OMG, why are you dragging up conspiracy theories about her e-mails! You right-wing simpleton! Go back to Breitbart and argue about lizard people!"

Nothing is more annoying than people being smug when they're actually wrong.

[1]: Trump is Hillary's competition, in case anyone didn't know. Not sure why anyone is still talking about Bush.

Am I missing something? This is such a simple, short piece that I thought I missed a link to a second page.

Comparing Soma to SSRI or MDMA is nothing new and apart from that, there's no additional "analysis." At least refer to the their lack of a competitive lifestyle (e.g. a golf-esque game with no winners/losers), therapies like VPS for emotional attachment, frustration, etc. or electrotherapies administered to babies to ensure they upload the status quo (e.g. aversion to natural/free feelings for lower caste babies).
It's 7 months, prior to the first subpoena. This is a question for redacting information, which is fairly common when doing releases to congress etc.
Last time I checked "undocumented" immigrants aren't a race, and they also broke the law. It's not racist to attack people breaking the law.
I got exactly the same impression. The cul-de-sac per se isn't even addressed. Taking it as symbolic, the article's main argument for grid layouts seems to be little more than "everyone was doing it 100 years ago, and we found a handful of favorable correlations, so they must have been on to something".

Why are web apps so badly designed from a user-friendliness perspective?
an example is plotly...impossible to make it work

Do developers actually have beta testers who aren't also developers, such as random people, or do they just assume that their users will somehow figure it out . it's like the people who design this stuff don't actually test it on random people. having your fellow developers do your beta testing is not a good beta
Do you give up a phone number to your employer, insurance provider, credit card company? wanna share it?

Also you do realize that you can set up a disposable email address in 10 seconds right? I didn't use one because I don't consider this instance to be a violation of my privacy, privacy isn't about keeping information secret, privacy is about you having the agency to decide who you share it with.
Based on nobody criticizing the several prior people in that same position that did the exact same thing.

Sure, if it was just one or two that's one thing, but A email is public in the first place and B when your the fifth person in a row to do something you generally assume that's just how it's done.

I do my best to mentally invert the Tesla/Musk hype, and my own affinity for what they do, but:

1) It doesn't seem like Tesla was dishonest about anything.

2) MobilEye seems to be very whiny/wimpy about getting a tiny, indirect fraction of the flak that Tesla has gotten for the crash.

Seems like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline... applies.
Doesn't this get said every single election, though?
'"Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yarmulkes every day." (Trump called the things written about him in the book "probably true.")'

Also Trump was the President of the Trump organization when the DOJ fined the company for illegal housing discrimination, doing things like marking the lease applications of African Americans with a 'C' for 'Colored' so that they would know not to rent to them.
Well, I haven't run a small business, but I've been astounded by the number of very sharp engineers I've run into over the years who are completely myopic about the business impact of their activity. From not having internalized basic microecon fundamentals to being willfully ignorant as long as they get to work on their pet technology.

Small business owners, presumably, have both of those lessons pretty well internalized, in addition to a certain "just get it frickin done" attitude towards things that need to be done.

The super-advanced algo-writing skills that we in the industry screen for, conversely, come up as a real-world requirement far less commonly, and you can poll the whole office for opinions when they do, because everyone's excited to see an actual nifty problem.
I think this is possibly the best implementation of this type of thing I've ever seen ... and jeez look at the number of languages it supports.

And it doesn't take half a month to load/download. Neat. It seems fun even as a non-novice, just to learn other languages in a fun way.
I feel like you could make a distinction between "making a AAA title game" vs. "modeling game logic in a terminal".

There are a lot of great learning opportunities for building a game without a graphics layer / engine. A new developer trying to build a Tic Tac Toe game in the terminal will be exposed to some challenging but not impossible challenges that will have a wide scale application.

Plus for many people, these types of games are already a familiar domain. For people new to coding I try to encourage them to build what they know. If that's a DOS-era blackjack game, it will be much more engaging to them than trudging page to page through an algorithms book.

Don't get me wrong the materials you listed in your last sentence have their application, but the sorting algorithm section of a learn programming book / video is (while useful!) less engaging for someone looking to get hooked on a new skill/hobby/career.
Why buy one? Just use Uber or similar.

"skimpy female outfits used in some Asian"

I think it's worth noting that Japan is fairly unique when it comes to this topic. You can't really group it as "Asian" along with the Chinese/Korean market.
I'm sure you're absolutely right. If he hadn't been such a snake he would have just fought the system, used his ample government connections to ensure he won't get prosecuted. The people would understand, he was just acting in those good intentions of advancing the desires of the party, after all.
Agreed. Implementing even a trivial game like chess or Pac-man requires either a huge amount of knowledge re: programming concepts or an equally huge amount of hand-holding from the game engine and tutorials.

In fact, I would rate game programming as one of the most difficult software domains of all. I can't think of any other domain where you're immediately hit with the same level of algorithms, performance concerns, design questions, etc.
> It's necessary that my own actions appear in their original order to me, but also to anyone else who is plausibly affected by their reordering.

No, it's necessary that the effects appear in the right order, and in the example case what matters is that the privacy setting is correctly applied to the subsequent post and stored with it.

> The full example also involves posting on a mutual friend's wall and having that post hidden by unfriending

If that is a requirement - and it's not clear it would be a good user experience, as it would break conversations (e.g. any reply; and what do you do about quoted parts of a mssage) and withdraw conversation elements that have already been put out there -, but in any case this does not generally require global consistency. It does require prompt updates.
You're forgetting about taxes. If you sell something worth $100, you probably aren't going to pay $30 in tax on it (or probably anything at all).

If you sell something worth 100 million you're going to pay 30 or 40 million in taxes.

With the loan you won't pay any tax now, you might pay it later, or you might not ever pay it because you'll have that loan until you die and the bank will be the beneficiary of 100 million of your estate.
Wasn't the whole Pandaria region/race blatant pandering to the Chinese market?
Incorrect. He wants to end the H1B visa program (despite the fact that he uses for seasonal work at his club in Florida) and he does not want to accept political refugees attempting to come to the US legally.

> Even if Tesla used child labour with huge workplace accident rates, you should still support them, because no matter how you cut it, we will destroy our atmosphere permanently without huge electric car adoption. Nevermind all of the other parts of the power industry that are hugely polluting.

You should be advocating for international cooperation and government action, not a company that creates electric sports cars.
I just find the whole "attack others without any mention of myself" thing to be so... Off putting.

It's sad that it's so common, and scary effective. I just wish that it wasn't this way and that things like attack ads would at least include some info on how the candidate is different/better than the one they are attacking.

The sad truth is that I believe many of the same things as one of the major candidates, and when looking at the issues I do agree with some from the other, but the way they almost entirely ignore the issues and spend most of their time attacking others doesn't fill me with confidence that either one wont just bring that toxicity into an already toxic and gridlocked political system.

Yelling half-truths and over exaggerating the "enemy" isn't going to help the country at all. And IMO that stuff has no place on the offical website of a candidate.
maybe its cause they get shitty useless feedback like the above "impossible to make it work" is not constructive. It's an utter waste of time. To read and to write.
Man up and put some fact in your bitching.

I worked at a iphone game company, where after about 6-9 months of of them being there we let a game designer go. Of course we recycle the ipads to the next person, at which point we realize, none of the hardware had been authorized to run our app so therefore could never have been played. Yea....dogfooding is important
I think what's uncommon is having a lawyer on hand to actually review the legalise.

Hilarious. We've reached a place where a doctorate in CS is an insufficient qualification to delete a fucking file.
Trump was sued repeatedly in the 70s for racially prejudiced housing policies. In the 80s he was accused of racist employment practices in his casinos. In this election he has repeatedly retweeted and positively engaged with white supremacists on twitter. He has retweeted (false) racially-charged statistics.

What the hell.
How much is the art style of something like WoW already adapted to a style that is more compatible with the Asian markets? Warcraft has definitely gotten considerably more cartoony and almost anime-inspired since it's original incarnations.

It only makes sense that they might be influenced in that direction, given the runaway success StarCraft, for instance, enjoyed, and still enjoys in Korea.
Is it? HN has a history of patently obvious shills and downvote brigades policing various topics. Paul Graham and Sam Altman are publicly supporting and creating various PACs with the aim of swinging the election in favor of Hillary, to say nothing of what their hyperbolic language reveals about their loyalties. Is it really so hard to believe that there could be paid political shills operating on here? CTR pays people to spam 4chan ffs, I think they can spare a few people for a tiny site with disproportionate influence like HN.
This is what IBM is doing with BlueMix. I don't see it working particularly well so far.
> I think if someone gets mad or ignores someone because they claim that the other person is bikeshedding based on a single comment or suggestion, that's most likely a misuse of the term bikeshedding.

I just see this as a way to justify that behavior. If it's not the indented use for the term then I agree some things are stupid but things that people I've worked with have cared about have came from real world concerns they have about technical choices. Maybe I'm just lucky?

> but their discussions get drowned out or derailed by precocious teenagers/overconfident CS undergrads/bored retirees who are just killing time on the list as a hobby

I think most of this can be sifted out easily. Why is X objectively better for the project as a hole? I've had project's where people have said "change this! change that!"

For instance I was asked for one project, my StarmadeWrapper project, to look for a server in a different path then the one I had been checking. For instance I was checking "./StarMade/" for the .jar and they wanted me to check "./starmade" for the .jar. I said that it wasn't needed because it would break already setup servers and that it was already possible by editing the config file. They couldn't provide a reason for that to be done so I ignored the people suggesting this. This was a compatibility breaking change that could already be done on the side of the end user and fixed what amounted to making the end user run "mv ./StarMade ./starmade -r".

This is in stark contrast to something else I was asked. Someone wanted me to make a maven .pom file for my project. At this point this person was contributing to the project and he made his case that "it would make it easy to import the project". I told them if you want it implement it since hell, it was a single file!

These are the filters I apply to suggestions:

- Does this make sense in a technical light
- Does the person who is asking for this have the ability to write it by themselves
- Will it break compatibility
- Is it better then what I do currently

The second change was technically sound, this person was a maintainer, it wasn't going to break anything, and it provided an easy way to work on the project. The first situation was none of these things.
I'm trying to figure out why this site exists, what their business model is, and what they're hoping to accomplish. There's no pricing data available anywhere that I can tell, but it's obviously a company. I'll comb over it in more detail when I'm not at work.
> This ignores the elephant in the room: international competition.

I would attribute most of the difference to this, but I would go further in that there just aren't that many successful international games period.

Any game which requires language for cooperation is a non-starter. So, you either have to be individually based or competition.

Most of the really successful ones are individual: Angry Birds, Candy Crush, Clash of Clans, Puzzles and Dragons.

Some competition ones do exist: Hearthstone, Clash Royale, Words with Friends. However, you have a bootstrapping issue for competition--how do you have competitions until you have competitors and vice versa?
>“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

It's pretty racist to attack a whole contingent of people and make broad negative generalizations about them and qualify with a half-hearted caveat that 'some' are good people. He's quite clearly drawing a line between "you" (the white audience he was speaking to) and the Other (i.e. the Mexicans) personified as rapists and drug dealers.
Being too clever for your own good and writing wonderfully elegant code that randomly breaks on some other engineer who doesn't know you long after you have left the company. Surprise tire fire!
The whole point of click-bait ads with fake vote buttons is to entice people with the perception of choice.

Only giving me one option offends my sensibilities, even if I belong to that person's camp. I can't think of a person on earth who enjoys having their autonomy removed.

So at best you've pissed off the people who support you, and at worst you've reinforced the other camp's argument that you're an authoritarian control-freak.
First thought: yes, absolutely. The research should stand on its own.

Second thought: Hiding authorship potentially hides conflicts of interest.

Third thought: Publishing authorship does not reveal all conflicts of interest anyway.

Fourth thought: A paper that is explicitly pseudonymous will likely draw more attention and scrutiny. It's quite a step to take, for an academic - the whole point of writing papers is the benefit to one's reputation and career. Of course, one always has the option of claiming credit later...

Verdict: first impression was correct. You should be allowed to publish under whatever damn name you please.
NYT articles get posted to HN all the time.
