I went for Mailbox.org, you get 25 GB for email AND 25 GB for documents, all for €4.50/month, about $60 per year. You also get calendar/contacts/tasks with web based apps for all of the above, plus word processor and spreadsheet.
They support open standards (CardDav/CalDav/WebDav) so you can choose among several clients on any platform, and they seem to have a good track record with regards to privacy.

This, however, is offset by the fact that my "quality newspaper" subscription is about AUD $350/year, LOL

I understand this sentiment. I am a Mac guy myself (and have been for over 10 years).

OTOH, here is how I got involved with this. I was developing a file system on OSX that I then ported to Linux. When I looked to port it to Windows I did not find any satisfying solutions and I ended up writing WinFsp.

Why port to Windows? Because it still has the biggest market share and because it was an interesting technical problem.

>by opening the shrink wrap, or clicking on some button or whatever the heck, you agree to those things.

I don't see why anybody should take seriously the claim that doing something so simple that it can be done accidentally and without reading/listening/or communicating anything at all should constitute an agreement to anything whatsoever.

I wish people would stop telling me what I agree to and start telling me what they're willing to do if I violate their expectations, because that's what's actually intended by an EULA.

The Slate Star Codex article fails to make the case that lowering the general regulatory thresholds for medical devices or drugs improves societal outcomes. It makes a compelling, if possibly flawed, case for the EpiPen, but assumes generalizability rather than showing it.

We know the costs of not having something like the FDA. All one has to do is look at the supplements industry and imagine if real drugs were like that.

Edit:

Also ignored is how the FDA is a major incentive to create something new that both helps with the problem and doesn't generate an unreasonable amount of other ones. If the barriers to market entry are removed, you are putting the informational cost on the consumer. If it's cheaper to fool them than to do the due diligence in development, that's what will be done. And it's pretty clear from the supplement industry that it is cheaper.

Scott Alexander likes to make the future costs of a lack of new medications argument a lot. He has to account for the costs of a lack of new effective medications as well.

Edit 2:

Scott Alexander doesn't try to make the case the FDA is corrupt. He talks about how Mylan uses the court system and lobbies congress. And his point about costs is undercut by a later post he made about coming up with the chairs statistic: http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/08/31/terrorists-vs-chairs-an...
Ah, sorry, misread that. That would probably not very effective as the prices would only rise to accommodate the influx of new money.
No where did I say the FDA "is never wrong and that its activities need no public oversight." No part of my statement could even be misconstrued that way. But thanks for being disingenuous!

The FDA gets _true_ oversight from the thousands and thousands of scientist who work within the organization, who work outside the organization, and other organizations who have vested interests in "trashing" certain findings and approvals by the FDA. It sounds like you don't know how the FDA is generally set up so it would do you well to look into it. It's not exactly private.

The FDA again, doesn't want to play the game of yellow journalism. Why is this confusing? The following makes absolutely no sense, by the way. From your own post: "they would not pre-announce their activities at all." Please do elaborate how this somehow negates their motivations for not wanting the press to get out of hand and send false signals to the public. You can't just provide one little quip and expect that to unravel all their motivations. Again, I'm really struggling to see how this is confusing to anyone who has worked with anything remotely public, or even at a big corporation!

And no, I am not sure how a direct quote about Fox News and a sentence that follows the direct quote somehow gets misconstrued as me talking about "Scientific American." _However_, Scientific American has been known (especially over the last couple of years), to engage in generally click baity, irrefutably unscientific publications. Just like it is doing here.
This is equivalent to betting on the margin — the downside is that you end up holding a contract that commits you to paying for the whole condo, and if you can't get rid of that contract when the market goes down or you become incapable of paying, the developer will sue you (see above comment about what happened in 2008 in Vancouver).
That is an important question that wasn't clear in the article. If they counted those sub 3 sec views in the count but not in the duration then it would definitely be fraudulent. If they didn't include sub 3 sec in the count or in the average then it is a valid technical decision. I am guessing they were included in the count but not in the duration.

They should have a histogram of durations.
Sure, but to be kind, the tooling mostly sucks bogwater. Trying to detect usages of symbols or perform simple refactorings is considerably harder than even in languages with less than stellar static typing, like the C++/Java/C# enterprise workhorses, much less anything more powerful. Maybe I'm spoiled, but using find&replace and runtime errors feels as primitive as banging two rocks together.

My advice:

Do not label yourself as a data scientist or machine learning expert. Go for the domain, i.e. become comfortable with the actual data and the methods used there:

- predict land use in aerial imagery - become comfortable with photogrammetry, geography, etc.

- predict biological tissue(s) - become comfortable with specific branches of biology or medicine

- predict $something_relevant

I actually stole this advice from the epilogue of some text about programming, and it really stuck with me. Otherwise your expertise is just too generic and you compete with a big pool of people who call themselves machine learning experts, because they can write a for loop in Bash.

It's a cool project and the list is already quite good. However I have some remarks.

First of all I find the UI a bit confusing. Especially the plain number fields, it's not obvious that they mean "at least this value".

The are some funds missing from the list. For example try Direxion funds, without any other filters the list shows 25 results. You're missing all their "bear" funds and some more - just their 3x leveraged offering has more than 25 funds. Check their website: http://www.direxioninvestments.com/

The filtering is a bit weak too. Expense ratio, how they pay dividend, etc. is important too. Also I'd like to select multiple currencies at the same time. YTD and custom date period performance would be nice.

They dont count views for less than 3 seconds in their view count.

They didnt include views of less than 3 seconds in their "average view time" metric, which is very misleading. Their metric was "average view time of video's in our view count".

As I can see you and most of the people in this thread are don't get the basic idea and philosophy of open-source software. GitHub supports open-source with closed-source software. Their main job is based on supporting open-source software not being a search engine or social network. That's why this move is not mandatory for Google and Facebook. If you want to support something you should take the first step otherwise I could say you are dishonest to yourself, your ideology and to people who wants to support same philosophy from their hearts. There is no difference between the GitHub I mentioned and politician that uses religion to become much more powerful using folks belief.

100% of the companies accepted into YC applied

Is this true? I know companies have been accepted which didn't apply before the deadline, and IIRC one of the early YC companies got in basically because they bumped into one of the principals and were told "you should be part of YC".

I wouldn't be surprised if there have been a few companies which due to unusual circumstances got into YC without submitting a formal application.

I feel no guilt about blocking ads. Advertising as a concept is fundamentally flawed. In most cases it is trying to create want where none previously existed - using suffering for profit. It also is designed to subvert my value estimation process, to cause me to make decisions that are not in my best interests.

I view paid reviews by professional reviewers who have fairly objective standards and are required by law to disclose the payment as a better alternative.

If you feel that most people's value estimation process is missing something that would cause your product to be a more attractive option, craft good content that tells that story and push it through aggregators and social media. Get conversations started on forums and blogs.

From the perspective of advertising, people are subjects to manipulate. Instead, you should approach your customers as respected equals.
Hm, interesting. Well, as I said, I don't know personally (I have neither an Apple device nor Alexa), but that was my impression from what people who love Apple and also have Alexa and Google Photos say.

As for Google Photos, it makes mistakes, false positives mostly (as a funny example, for my photos so far it consistently thinks cats are dogs, although it also recognizes the same cats correctly) and sometimes it's too “eager” (“cars” will produce results where cars should be but are not actually in the photo). Sometimes it makes bizarrely trivial mistakes considering how smart it is generally: it categorized photos of human cadavers and anatomy specimens I made at the local university institute of anatomy as “Christmas”, I guess because they were made on Christmas day. But it will correctly find true positives. It also correctly visually recognizes notable places globally (that is, without geotags) and various things, concepts etc. even if they're a completely marginal subject in a photo. One thing that impressed me was a cat video it edited out of multiple clips with almost perfect music some 5-10 minutes after I uploaded the first items and started using it.

No. All canadian courts are under the SCC. We have a single sovereign. So-called "provincial" courts are directly answerable to the SCC.

This seems slightly overblown. I suspect this was a metric useful for engineering that found its way to external usage. That's because in many recommendation systems in practice you want to filter out the spurious views, and a simple way to do that is with dwell time.

It's not uncommon to require at least 50% of pixels in view for 1 second before you have an impression for static images [0, 1]. AOL defines an impression requiring 2 seconds for images [1]. Facebook likely did some analyses to find that 3 seconds was a good cutoff for their site.

There are more sophisticated ways to estimate dwell time but they seem uncommon in practice; perhaps due to their difficulty communicating to advertisers what the impression metric actually means.

For sites with many bots or inbound marketing you often find users bounce quickly which drives some of this timing. I'm a bit surprised it needs to be that high for Facebook without many bots or users bouncing quickly. Perhaps this is for mobile users scrolling quickly.

It doesn't make much difference whether you use Watts or Joules, since 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second, so both are just as convenient for electricity: 1 Watt = 1 Volt Amp, so 1 Joule = 1 Volt Amp Second = 1 Volt Coulomb (although amps seems to be more "normal" than coulombs).

It's a bit redundant to multiply power by time, when that's just an energy, but going between Watts and Joules is trivial (by design), so it's not too bad.

However, I can't think of a reason why hours would be easier to work with than seconds (as kiloseconds, if you want the same order of magnitude), especially regarding electricity?
With regard to this specific situation, I have changed my mind.

However, the validity of click-through agreements or implied agreement when you use something does seem valid. It's applied all over the place, so lawyers must have come up with it and have a rationale.

Would you extend your reasoning to a signature? You can sign something without reading it. Perhaps not accidentally, though.

I do now agree with you that simply using a program doesn't constitute agreement with its liability disclaimers, even if the license appears to require it as a grant condition. Or rather, that is probably irrelevant.

> start telling me what they're willing to do if I violate their expectations

This is not easy in the case of disclaimers. Ok, you're violating my expectations because you ran into some bug that cost you money and are suing me (whereas my expectations were that you would understand that the program is offered "as is"). Poor silly me! What do I do? Lose and pay up, I guess, if that disclaimer doesn't hold up.

So basically, why bother. There isn't anything you can add to a license to increase the strength of any liability or warranty disclaiming text. Adding text like "using the program constitutes agreement with the disclaimer" serves no purpose.
> Unless you wrote the code yourself you pretty much have to run the program first and then REPL to see what the type actually is and the properties it exposes Slow, arduous, unnecessary.

I think this is true of statically typed languages as well, at least with anything larger than a single function.
I'm curious, what exactly is an engineering degree in statistics?

>>>This so-called not-withstanding clause effectively grounds British-style parliamentary supremacy at the provincial level.

Um, that is my point. All of Canada is under a single constitution and, technically, one Queen. The US has multiple constitutions, at least one of which (MA) predates the US federal. Find a Canadian province with a constitution allowing it to ignore actions of the national government, ignore without separating. I can cite dozens, hundreds of areas where US states can tell the feds to take a hike. In the community of nations, that is strange.
> Can a text editor do search and replace on a 100 GB file without a delay?

Ask HN: Any minimal framework for small website?
There is a lot of huge framework for big web projects, but there seems to be a need or a place for medium project. I've used Angular on some projects but it seems quite big complex and actually not needed for smaller sites. Ember.js is actually interesting even for smaller site, but still the complexity is a tad daunting.

I've used a mix of handlesbar.js and json for the content, but often feel limited and looking for some sort of small router, adding to that something like bootstrap, although heavy, creates a interesting minimal mix.

Is there something the wild that answer that need for smaller (few pages, gallery, contact form, maybe a minimal blog) type of site (and no not wordpress, lets keep it static)!
