Nice timing. I've always had ideas that I just don't feel like going to work on. I recently started posting all my ideas in case anyone else is interested in them. Just having the idea is worth nothing unless you turn it into something. See my recently submitted stories.
Asterisk 14.0 Now Available
Love safety razors. I spent more than the author at "The Art of Shaving" store... about $100 for the handle itself and maybe $50 for a good badger brush. But after that purchase, the razors are crazy cheap. The quality of the shave is way better too. More people would use them if stores like Walmart or Target carried them (which I don't think they'll ever do in the US)
Because a lot of humanity wants to shit on others' successes. It's why it's mostly futile to seek outward validation.
Independent of HPKP Chrome still does 2011-style static pinning AFAIK and just by looking at HTTP headers I don't think google.com even uses HPKP. Unlike HPKP which is trust-on-first-use, static pinning is enforced from the very start so if you have the ability to statically pin in the client (as you would if you're a browser vendor or distributing your own mobile app) you probably should.

And then there is this recent discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12434585
I carry cash just for that reason. But haven't needed it for several years.

Systems being down that badly is rare and usually announced in advance. For local stores where I visit daily I can just come tomorrow and pay it off.
I appreciate the statistics even though I don't really understand them all that well. Since you seem fairly knowledgable of statistics (though I know a lot of people here are too, so other chime in too if you want), could a case be made that we shouldn't be comparing 9 lost decorative tape packages out of 178 with 1 lost non-decorative tape package out of 178, but instead be comparing 9 directly with 1? When 10 packages

And if you're curious, please see my other reply as to why I think, even including statistical significance of one type being lost more than the other, we can't really draw a "religious bias" conclusion.
Do you know if there is a prior events view of this calendar? I was recently trying to look at Stallman's event history but couldn't find it in a minute or so of searching so gave up.
Hey, Kinlan. Here's what you do. Once a month, on the same day every month, publish a browser change update. List every known upcoming change, and your best understanding of when it will happen. List every change that has already happened, and when it happened. Include dates for these changes in both Canary and Production releases.

Publish this update to Hacker News on the same day (and ideally, the same time) each month. It will not take too long before every dev in the world will be eagerly awaiting your update.

The key is consistency. If you publish this update 100% reliably (Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night...), then it will become the go-to way of hearing about browser issues.

Extra Credit - Get your friends at Mozilla, Microsoft, Apple, etc. to contribute to the update for their respective browsers. If there was one place where ALL browser updates were documented, you will change the world.
Do they actually say that anywhere? It's a pretty logical way of doing it but it's still an assumption about a pretty important facet of the experiment.
Thank you for the feedback! This is still a desktop so if the device is grabbed the power won't stay long. You need NFC to restart and then enter your password.

"Willing" won't really enter into it. It depends on what the jury decides, and the car companies don't really have any say in that.
Odds are that it does sense abnormal vibrations but that there is a corner case where it gets up to speed and a load shift causes it to blow out before the stopping mechanism kicks in.
Yeah, they used to have full-text RSS feeds for many of their blogs, but now those have turned into snippet feeds; what a bummer.
Well, you hire a lawyer and convince a jury that's the case.

If the car's software is defective, the company should clearly be held accountable.
>Pokemon Red and Blue sold 9.85 million copies on gameboy alone.

That was two games, and that was "by the end of their run".

>The assumption that people who have never played mobile games before wouldn't be interested in Pokemon is kind of crazy as well. I can't think of another mobile game that has as much name recognition before it released as Pokemon go. It's a beloved franchise, whose popularity spans generations. On top of that, cellphones are far more ubiquitous than the gameboy ever was. There are people who are playing Pokemon go who have never been in to mobile gaming, but I doubt the number of people playing Pokemon Go who have never played another video game in their life is much, much, much smaller.

You're aided by hindsight. PKGO grew faster than any prior mobile game or any previous pokemon IP, by a large margin.
I came from a poorer background too. To this day I find it hard for me to connect with people. I get the anxiety too, and have been spared the severe ptsd. I don't have any sage words of advice or opinions, just wanted you to know you're not alone.
Another attempt to boost their monopoly.
You should also: Drive a reasonable used car (if at all); send your kids to public school; live with roommates (or spouse); commute so you can live in a cheaper area; avoid expensive vacations; cook at home more frequently; etc.

I tried explaining all this to coworkers when I worked at Google, and many people dismiss the idea. These are the same people who:

- Drive a new Tesla

- Pay $120k/yr to send their four kids to private schools despite good public schools in the area

- Insist on living in SF and commuting 2 hrs by bus each way

- Jetset around the world for vacations

- Eat out at every non-Google meal

You can lead a horse to water... but sometimes you just can't make them drink. And guess which of my coworkers complained the loudest about unlivable wages in SFBA...?
The "Why is this on HN" post always seems to come with a judgmental comment.

It's on HN because hackers, as a whole, react to what they perceive to be injustice, or discrimination.

Hiding behind a nation's "norms" doesn't make it OK to tell foreign visiting women they need to hide themselves. Personally I don't think anywhere in the world a woman should be forced to do this, and it's all fine and good to try to find analogies like wearing shirts in public, but this is a step too far.

This isn't a nation saying their women have the right to do something, this is a nation saying all women should do this regardless of their beliefs, despite the majority of the world disagreeing with it.
Definitely. But then you need to define an envelope to mark where an individual message begins and ends (with UDP DNS, it's a single datagram; with TCP DNS, it's the entirety of the transmission). There are infinite ways to do this, and countless many already specified in various standards (many of which are already implemented in browsers, which is surely the the primary application Google had in mind). HTTP provides one such envelope.
You probably were holding write transactions open for the duration of the request/response cycle, which is guaranteed to get you in trouble.
Samsung (and LG) washers have design peculiarities that seem to be unique to them. For example, the bearings are actually part of the drum, so if they fail (a not-uncommon occurrence), you end up effectively having to replace the entire washer. (Ask me how I know!) So it doesn't surprise me that Samsung has other engineering issues baked into their products.
The most underrated feature of TypeScript is not the language itself, but the transpiler. With the flick of a switch you can support ES3, ES5 and in future ES6 and beyond - without changing your code (not entirely true, but it is possible to write code that transpiles well to all JS standards).

Decoupling your development from the shifting sands of JS support - across multiple browsers and platforms - is a dream come true, and a good enough reason alone to use TS.
Thanks. I was doing market research on a startup an acquaintance of mine has that's similar in scope to site in OP. His is https://capitalandgrowth.org (shameless plug for him - promise it's not for me).

Anyway, I stumbled upon this 10-month old question on startups stackexchange and it hit a nerve, so I wanted to share. The answers are spot on. As a programmer, I gravitate towards this answer:

http://startups.stackexchange.com/a/7804
Gun ownership is a social norm. Free Speech in the (extreme) American sense is a social norm.

Both are widely rejected by countries, including many in Western civilization.

Still a fan of rejecting social norms that are objectionable to many of us? Or only those America doesn't hold dear?
I just don't see it, from my perspective in mechanical design, you are at a minimum of 2.5 months from first concept to getting real parts. Hardware is just slow, and there is not much you can do about it without spending tons of money.
This is also how people learn about the dangers of fan death, how carrots help improve your night vision, and that bulls are enraged by the color red.
> makes Americans (but not Europeans) behave worse

If you read the small print, you learn that the packages passed through Deutsche Post before going to the US. So it could actually still be the Europeans.

> So the other theory is that any worded tape

It might not be people at all... There could be some computer vision issue at play. Or hell, maybe it is people, but it's a similar problem: packages with worded tape might be harder for the eye to quickly parse and figure out what to do with, and that's why more issues happen to those packages. There are definitely possibilities other than the one you stated.

Edit to add: All that said, I don't support the tone/spirit of the post you were replying to, so please don't group my response with theirs.

The hard part about scaling is knowing when to invest in scale. The binomial choice is to build and throw away, or build so as to be scalable. So hard to predict.

I didn't read that as "if you have $1M you'll almost certainly go to $2M", so much as "if your business has already earned $1M in profit then it's almost certain to continue to earn another $1M in profit". And likewise, it's not talking about having $1M in savings from a lifetime of hard work.

Think of a business as being like an engine. Until you get the engine started and running under its own power, it's just costing you time and effort and money. Once it's running, it generates money at an accelerating rate. The $1M cutoff here is a proxy for "the engine is running."
My Samsung washing machine is already on the list of things to replace. It came along with the place I'm at, and the previous owners apparently didn't know that front loading machines need to be left open when not in use. Upon our initial load of the machine we discovered it to be filled with swathes of mold/fungus. Took a week of heavy, caustic cleaning to get it usable. Apparently it's a fairly common issue with frontloaders; only recently did manufacturers get around to including sanitizing features.

Knowing that Samsung is selling machines that explode and catch fire ... I guess I'll bump our replacement up on the schedule. I do like the little ditty it plays when its done though. Reminds me of traveling through eastern Asia. Cute ditties seemed to be very common over there, from vending machines to garbage trucks. It's a small thing, but it has a way of brightening your surroundings the way an ice cream truck in America does.
> I can't believe so many people use this to "prove" that it's not a quantum computer. This is a complete and utter non sequitur.

That's not why I'm saying it's probably not a quantum computer. It's not a quantum computer because in depth analysis of its behavior has consistently shown that above the ~20 qubit scale it's better modeled by a classical explanation than a quantum one. We only really have evidence of entanglement at the 8 qubit level[1] so far.

The fact that the processing power is abysmal just makes the hype even more ridiculous. The point of that fact is that it's not like the EmDrive, where it's doing something we can't yet explain under the assumption that nothing interesting is going on. If it weren't for the fact we've looked inside, it could be running a basic Intel CPU for all we know. There's no smoke at any level, so it's nonsensical to give D-Wave a pass and think they've got some fire.

Free GNU/Linux Distributions and GNU Bucks
I don't use a Mac, but assuming Finder will detect that if its view is of a folder and items are added to the folder elsewhere, Finder's view will be updated to reflect this:

Use dtrace and create a lot of such events. They're presumably using kqueue or some event mechanism to be notified when the file arrives. Do this with many file types if they look different in Finder. Somewhere in there should also be a read that corresponds to the dirent. You can break on these things.

attach the debugger and create the events. Step through the code to find when these things are read. Attempt to discern how what is read differs between file types. Do stuff like make files with conspicuous attributes (e.g., file size), because it's easier to correlate from traces. The data is probably a file containing file metadata somewhere.

This is probably mostly looking at the bytes coming off the read. dtrace makes this easy because you can trigger it to set a flag when the kqueue event fires and then just dump bytes and locations from file reads/opens. If it's more integrated into the OS Finder would have to have its own special syscalls to read stuff off inodes or whatever. You'd be able to see those happening too.

Once you think you know how it works, give it a try. Rinse and repeat.

Now it may be you have surprises here and there and it's kind of annoying, but I'd be surprised if I couldn't do it.

Please don't roll your own hybrid cloud or colo if you don't know what you're doing, particularly from the start. It likely is a distraction from your core product and, as the article states, can easily tie up 3 or so solid engineers.

Applying machine learning to any industry.

Here's a checklist that I just came up with:

Step 1. Pick an industry. Any industry.
Step 2. Find a problem that can be formulated as a function.
Step 3. Is that function non-trivial? If not, go back to Step 1.
Step 4. List all the input parameters for that function.
Step 5. Is any of them accurately observable? If not, focus on that parameter and go back to Step 2.
Step 6. Apply some ML to it. (Choice of the tech wouldn't matter that much.)
Step 7. Had some improvement?

Is Samsung making washing machines without out-of-balance detection? That was figured out by 1960. Today, a 3-axis accelerometer chip is $0.86, quantity 1. If a microprocessor is running the machine, the way it should operate is to back off the spin speed if it detects excessive vibration. As water drains out, the maximum speed at which vibration appears should increase. If that doesn't happen, shut down and sound the out of balance alarm.

A non-general quantum computer could still be considered to be a "quantum computer" in the way that physicists use the term. We'd definitely consider a computer that could "only" run Shor's algorithm to be one, so that's not a reason to write off the D-Wave.
There's some really, really good stuff here — well worth the read.
Totally agree. After doing a bunch of code with TypeScript (transpiling to ES5 and ES3), I decided to give Babel a try. It took me awhile to set it up properly with the right presets and plugins. It did a fine job transpiling, but I wondered why people just don't use TypeScript. It's so much easier to use.

Also the three points made in the article are, shall we say, dubious advice. I wanted to use more extreme language but I think it's frowned on at HN.

1. spending hundreds of thousands of dollars per month on internet services ('They land themselves in Cloud Jail.')

2. choosing technology based on hype rather than maturity ('They get sucked in by “hipster tools.”')

3. not understanding what your computers are actually doing ('They don’t design for monitorability.')
Are you sure it's actually at Fort Worth? I know that they bought the one that's that's at USC's Information Sciences Institute, but I hadn't heard that the bought another one. As far as I know they've just paid for that one to be upgraded a couple times.

The one at USC definitely isn't being used for anything past the research level.

At the very beginning, when you're trying to figure out exactly what you're trying to do, there is a lot of value to building in an environment like AWS. After that point there's still some value, but in certain ways it is much easier to start in your own datacenter environment than to try to switch later.

Unless you're careful you'll probably build dependencies on a number of AWS (or Google Cloud or whatever) services that you now have to replicate yourself in order to move out. That's possible to overcome, but the extra burden pushes a lot of companies to delay to the point that they're spending tens of millions a month for something that could cost them a million or less. That could buy a lot of manpower (or give you a lot more flexibility in your business).

It's also totally possible to have vendors, networking, datacenter, server, and OS stuff handled by one person. It can't last forever, but you definitely don't HAVE to have 3-5 people just to turn up a cage and buy hardware in some sane fashion (if you make the right hire and empower that person).

> Sebastian and her collaborators observed electrons traversing orbits millions of atoms in diameter inside the crystal in response to a magnetic field

If cooling the material down turns it from a conductor into an insulator, and then a magnetic field is observed to make it conduct again, then maybe the magnetic field reversed whatever effect the cooling had. Seems a lot more believable than "black holes".

I started reading this article and it has some good points. Then the giant ad when you barely scroll. Amazing an article that seems well written is obliterated and unreadable.

A big point I find myself trying to convey to developers who start devops was well summarized.

When it comes to infrastructure components, keep it as simple as possible. (And have a healthy amount of skepticism.) “When it comes to your infrastructure, especially the core components that glue everything together — storage, load balancing, service discovery — you really need to be using things that are not, themselves, going to cause problems. You probably have enough problems with the rest of your application and components.”

I wish I could have finished and shared the article but, sadly the ad as I scroll down made it unreadable.
