Given his association with this Trump group, I think his Twitter likes on alt-right memes are absolutely relevant to the story. You may have a point about witch hunt culture but I do not believe this is the best example. If a news outlet was trying to make a story from his likes alone, then okay, I'd agree.
I guess I better fall in line then: I disagree with Trump, so down with Palmer.
When I use grep (which is fairly regularly), the bottleneck is nearly always the disk or the network (in case of NFS/SMB volumes).

Just out of curiosity, what kind of use case makes grep and prospective replacements scream? The most "hardcore" I got with grep was digging through a few gigabytes of ShamePoint logs looking for those correlation IDs, and that apparently was completely I/O-bound, the CPUs on that machine stayed nearly idle.
This is a cool implementation of this idea.

Proof of work is probably an acceptable solution for proof of concept but anonymous consensus isn't needed for for collaborative document editing.

I'm still thinking if this use cases needs timestamping or atomic broadcast.If timestamping is sufficient, Google's new roughtime protocol would do the job well. Otherwise you need a proper atomic broadcast algorithim like RAFT, Tendermint, Honeybadger etc.

Great work.
A pencil and a piece of paper, or an organizer from Staples. :-D

If you're an Emacs user, org-mode is very powerful and quite useful as well. It's what I would be using, if I actually had a computer with me everywhere I go that could run it. http://orgmode.org/

If you aren't an emacs user, or are looking for an alternative, Taskwarrior is a quite popular CLI todo list management app, which has a similar (although not as extensive: org is frankly massive) featureset. It has a companion, Timewarrior, which is designed for tracking time and displaying reports. IIRC, this is an org feature as well. Both have significantly better mobile support than Org, so take that as you will. Either way, if you are going to support mobile, you have need to host the files yourself, or use dropbox. https://taskwarrior.org/

Pomodoro and GTD are both popular methodologies, which you can look into if you're interested in that sort of thing (I'm not, but I've heard good things about them both from people who are). They are applicable to just about any tool, including any of the above (yes, that means pencil and paper).

But ultimately, the only wrong way to organize yourself is one that doesn't work for you. So if anything I've listed works, and you want to use it, do. If it doesn't work, throw it away.

It doesn't matter what tools you use, just so long as they help you Get Shit Done (TM).
History is a science in the broad sense as it uses verifiable data about the historical record to make conclusions about what occurred. In that regard it isn't much different from other sciences that study the non-historical past, such as paleontology or physical anthropology. That being said, not every piece of data or conclusion drawn in history is equally valid. Much like with natural sciences, you have to consider the very real possibility that when one person or group of people come up with a radical new conclusion that they are mistaken. It's always safer to stick with consensus views unless you know a particular subject well and can judge the merits yourself. If a new idea really is valid, eventually it will become part of the consensus.
This industry excommunicated Brendan Eich for his private, personal political funding activity.

I think the larger issue is that this is seen as tearing down constructive discourse on the issues. Sponsored trolling... I'm unsure of what you seem to think is ok with what he did?
Yes, but then, the discussion was about "teenage hackers". More broadly though, I was just trying to get the idea across using an existing bit of common law.

Not really. It's a top-level comment. If it were a reply to the "in what way is Go revolutionary" comment, the "sorry to hear that" could reasonably be inferred to mean "sorry, but..."

OP and author here. That's a great point. Working in an office setting, it's easy to see the tide of co-workers retreating toward the end of the day. When you're working alone, there's no such signal.
Unless there is a bug, Session Restore is not written if Firefox is idle. Of course, many applications are not idle even if you're not using them, and with the current architecture, just one tab using, say, DOM Storage, or updating a session cookie or a hidden form field, is enough to force a rewrite.
Honestly, for logging and tracking my daily business tasks, I use a plain old notebook where I write notes or draw sketches with a pen. It is the fastest and and most comprehensive solution. It accompanies me throughout the day and has more style than an electronic solution like a tablet. Of course searching is not easy but I can remember topics based on approximate dates, that works well for me.

For higher level "management" of longer-term and recurring tasks I also use taskwarrior.
I really expected a measured and intellectual response to trump, almost as a learning experience for people that are tempted to follow him, like hey here is some non-judgmental education for you, check out what we can learn from this, etc.
Oh there's been lots. Looks like it's still incredibly write-happy though.

I'm not sure I understand the significance of this article. Asking seriously, what should I take out of reading this?

Also, asserting that the years-old pepe memes have now become white supremacist propaganda also leaves me pretty confused.

GUIDE: How to Design Lead Nurturing, Lead Scoring, Drip Emails
In this guide, I will make an attempt to describe how SaaS/enterprise companies design lead nurturing campaigns and how lead scoring can help prioritize leads and improve conversions, as well as how lead nurturing strategy affects the creation of drip email campaigns.

The primary goal of this article is to help you design or improve your current lead nurturing strategy. But the ultimate goal is to provide marketers and founders with some core principles on the topics of lead nurturing, and lead scoring. My intention isn’t to provide a cookie cutter solution, but instead to stimulate ideas and encourage a new way of thinking around these topics.

Summary / Advisories

PART 1: Nurturing: Lead Nurturing and Customer Nurturing

1.1. What is nurturing?: lead nurturing, and customer nurturing?

1.2. Why is a nurturing strategy essential for growth?

PART 2: Lead Scoring Strategy and Design

2.1. How a company’s growth stage impacts leads scoring

2.2. Why a prospect’s FIT and PAIN are at the core of any lead scoring strategy

2.3. How to design a lead scoring system

2.4. What is a target (or SDR-ready) score and how do you select one?

2.5. What are the factors that drive lead scoring?

2.6. Reaching an SDR-ready Score

2.7. Static vs. Predictive lead scoring

2.8. What are the biggest mistakes when it comes to lead scoring?

PART 3: Drip Emails As A Primary Lead Nurturing Mechanism

3.1. What are the primary categories of drip email campaigns?

3.2. Segmentation can increase the effectiveness of your drip email campaigns

Would you live in a wooden skyscraper?
So... why the repeated questions? You obviously think there's something at stake here, and you don't like the distinction I'm drawing. Why? Why are you so touchy on this subject?

There is a difference between creating new genes and merely shifting the distribution of existing genes within a population. Regardless of what terms you want to use for it, those are different things. You seem to be trying very hard to push the point that the difference doesn't matter; perhaps it doesn't matter to you, but it does to some people. In particular, if you're ever going to talk to a creationist (instead of just mocking them), you'd better understand the distinction.

I explained this in my previous post, which you seemed to reply to very quickly but without actually seeming to listen to what I said. I suspect you aren't going to listen to this one, either. (Feel free to prove me wrong.)
Even beyond explicit codebooks, telegraph operators extensively used standardized abbreviations, meaning what they actually sent/received was remarkably similar to SMS text-speak, for obvious reasons!

Ask HN: Yelp for Police Officers
We have a pretty complicated challenge to solve. Not sure this will help or be part of the solution. Can't see all the way around it, but wanted to share with the hope that someone might want to pick this idea up and work on it. I'd be happy to invest. Please help shape idea and indicate whether or not you'd be willing to back it below. One requirement would be the person/team would need to apply to YC.

-app for both iOS and android

-enter officer name, city, or badge #

-profiles for officers

-incentives for top rated officers after X amount of reviews

-provide reviews - can be quantitative and qualitative

-needs excellent quality control so reviews are legit.

-stats on police precincts

-need to get citizen advisory councils and notable officers on board and enable them to discuss how product should evolve.

I'm aware of the mobile justice app. This would be different as outlined above. If other apps are out there that are working, please post here.

Now people ask why Oracle is still around? And this is the answer.

At least companies have somebody (with $$) to sue when security breach happens.

I'm really confused with following:
1) people want free services and 2) people want extra security

The above is like getting free home security system and then complaining how alarm do not work consistently.
"because I know such comments usually come from one of
two places"

I would expect such comments to usually come from c) User feels the industry uses Adobe and, even if GIMP matched up feature for feature, it's pointless to learn it. I don't like to think that way myself but I've certainly felt that way at times.
Well first, that's not an expression that anyone uses. If there is one, it's the opposite of that. Also, your interpretation of that is incorrect.

Putting something on a pedestal is bad. It's pretending that it's perfect. If you put a person on a pedestal, you remove their humanity and flaws and aren't treating them like a person.
I think real fascists would be embarrassed by him, because he isn't good at politics.
Most people you disagree with politically are decent human beings.
The worst part of this news is the continuation of the Space Launch System (SLS), which has cost over seven billion dollars (not including Ares development costs), and is expected to end up costing forty-one billion by 2025, by which time they expect to complete a total of four launches (destination: nowhere important, and probably late).

Vulcan (from ULA), New Glenn (from Blue Origin), and Falcon Heavy (from SpaceX) are all better platforms for space exploration, which could enable science (such as the Europa mission) and travel (to Mars), and cost far less than SLS (in development and $/kg to orbit). NASA should be spending money on missions, not rocket development.
Showing the Weather in Tmux
You say "doesn't happen quite often", which I'm assuming means something like "doesn't happen quite often to me". But if you consider hundreds of millions of users using Firefox every day, then even a relatively rare event is happening to multiple users every single day. It is absolutely worth it to them that Firefox does its best to preserve their data.
Because understanding DNA isn't required to understand evolution (even though the discovery of DNA did reinforce the theory greatly by showing how the changes occur at a chemical level) So I am not sure what you mean... But saying "these generational changes are too small to count as evolution" is moving the goalposts.
I always smile wistfully whenever Haiku/BeOS comes up... its performance and just sheer fun remains unmatched by Windows, OS X, Linux, etc (try it out in a VM).

dr_dank summed it up best back in 2003 [0]:

BeOS was demonstrated to me during my senior year of college. The guy giving the talk played upwards of two dozen mp3s, a dozen or so movie trailers, the GL teapot thing, etc. simultanously. None of the apps skipped a beat. Then, he pulled out the showstopper.

He yanked the plug on the box.

Within 20 seconds or so of restarting, the machine was chugging away with all of its media files in the place they were when they were halted, as if nothing had happened.

Damn.

Cell towers, FM/AM radio towers, amateur radio repeaters are just a few things off the top of my head that have limited reach but are stored somewhere as key/value pairs with a lay/long with public access.

I don't know what to tell you other than "I don't like the way I feel about this" is not the basis of good policy.
Neat stuff. The USA total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 should be added too, imho.
They're not refusing to approve competing products. The products refuse to go through the process of being vetted by the FDA.

Get your story straight.
But fossil fuels do also solve the problem of storage due to their energy density. One reason you put gas into a gas tank is not only is that a source of energy, but it stores a lot of it in a small space. The tank is also just a cheap steel container that whose capacity doesn't diminish with number of refills.

If you can replace that with a battery with all the same properties: cost, space, weight, durability and so on, that does have an impact.

The energy for filling that battery can come from fossil fuels, but doesn't have to. We have hydro, wind and solar.
Maybe not exactly relevant to the article, but we have observed plenty of "new features." For example, bacteria that have evolved specific enzymes to digest compounds that didn't exist before the 1930s.

That sounds pretty hard to pull off. What's the expected benefit?
If the company goes bust before you get liquid, isn't that a loss commensurate with your gain that could be used to offset it?
Great points, I might write a follow-up with that, as that is something we certainly experienced, certainly after YC.

I'll take the gist here.

On visa.
YC introduces you to a great lawyer, who has an incredibly success rate. It costs 10kusd for one, and you get 50 % discount for 2nd person. The two most relevant visas is the investor visa and the O1 (extraordinary ability), as they are the ones without quote on them. We got the O1. It lasts 3 years, but is moderately simple to prolong.
The process takes some time, but isn't that much work, beyond gathering newspapers articles about yourself (you can translate with google translate). Would recommend starting perhaps halfway into YC if you intend to do this.
For a while just travelling on estra works well though.

Building teams in US and Norway
Our company was already setup to work remotely, since it's basically our product. That said our employees were/are in Norway, and are only travelling here on Esta. The benefit of any non-SF location is of course lower cost, especially of the most talented developers. And the con is that they are outside the Bay area culture, which is much more at the forefront of any topic. This tacit knowledge is hard to share, and is a legitimate benefit to having your team here.

That being said, using tools like Slack, zoom and uberconference, as well as having getaways, makes multi-location teams totally doable, at least for a period.
Yes, that probably is a legal activity. However, someone could sue for a restraining order. After that, and possibly further lawsuits, that activity would become illegal for you.

The possibilities of human behavior are infinite. We don't need to and can't enumerate all possible bad behaviors as illegal. Thus the civil court system.

On the second thought, I think there's some law against publishing images of people without their consent in some circumstances. I'm not clear on exactly what is allowed, but I know that TV broadcasters post notices in places that they are filming.

This article is more about the service life of the battery not about charge capacity. (Though, of course, charge capacity would good to know: how does this compare to a Li-Ion of comparable weight or space.)

I imagine that the prototypes they are working with don't have great capacity. For that you need clever manufacturing to miniaturize the storage elements and pack a lot of them into a small space.
I don't think the original Go authors ever truly thought that exceptions are "bad" per se. I think they just took it off the table because of the complexity it added to the language, both conceptually and implementation wise. A (the?) primary main goal of Go from the beginning has always been to make implementation as obvious as possible; in other words, to make it a slightly thicker layer on top of assembly than C was (they seemed to like Java 1's idea of interfaces), while still keeping in mind that it will map to assembly. The language's design is inherently tied to its compilation model. And to add exceptions would add complexity to it which for some reason they considered to be "too much". Same story with generics fwiw.
Another piece of good software that got no attention in this industry. Don't even get me started on so many great languages that failed. Pity :/
This is incredible news, protobuffers are an amazing and performant alternative to JSON all swift GRPC based backends for iOS apps would be phenomenal.
