Explain what exactly Wells Fargo upper management had to gain from the fake cards? They wouldn't generate real money for the company. The people who stand to benefit most are the individual employees.

I don't know the banking industry well so maybe there is some way for the company to make money off fake cards but I can't think of one. And because of that, I tend to believe that upper management really did not intend it to happen.
Great to see this meetup is back again, would be great if someone from YC (and/or YC alum) can do a talk about the emergence of hardware startups, maybe Luke Iseman ?
Suspect tracking as a new word in video archiving – what do you think?
Not quite. They mean they have a higher effective mass, which is a solid-state physics quantity describing quasi-particles such as electrons and holes in a crystal. You are correct that high effective mass particles do not quantum tunnel as easily, though.

But it was ok when 80% men were in charge. No laptop rage then. No calls of boycott for discrimination. No sir; men are naturally in charge and anything else is a subversion of the natural order.

This whole thread is disturbing at a very basic level.
It is still a monopoly, albeit maybe not in all legal senses.
Is there any demand for a syntactic sugar layer on top of C++? Something to make these new features more ergonomic? Something one could opt-in to for newer code, or code that doesn't need to be backward compatible to 1990? Something that outputs valid C++ and so works with any tool chain?
Do you have any thoughts as to why they don't allow people to install things from outside of the app store? Or why they require all purchases through apps to go through their payment methods where they take a 30% cut?

Because it is definitely making devices less desirable. I presume you still can't buy books from the Kindle iOS app, for example. I know you can't sub on twitch on iOS.

To continue with the kindle example, Amazon could build a kindle PWA that works offline, allows you to buy books, and in every way works identically to their thick client app (it's just displaying text after all, it's not technically demanding). And Apple wouldn't be able to block them from allowing you to buy things, because you're effectively just using a web browser.

I think you also missed their homepage and useraccounts, which continues to get a huge amount of traffic.

Granted, people who use Yahoo´s homepage/homepage probably aren´t the most sophisticated users, but the sheer number of eyeballs probably counts for something.

So you have the brand/homepage, which is tarnished by their leak and subsequent refusal to reset passwords (anecdotally, even my mom asked me how to reset her password) and their email is tarnished (although I don't know how much their userbase cares about privacy) by their scanning of emails for the NSA.

The story I heard was that the reason MS-DOS stagnated for a while in the mid-80s was that Microsoft considered Xenix "the future".

Then the legal uncertainty around Unix copyrights started happening and the need for a cross-platform system evaporated because PC's won, so Microsoft shifted to Windows and OS/2 as its future.
Quasi-particles, which includes electrons, in a crystal can have a wide range of effective masses depending on the crystal's band structure and the particle state.
> Tox is pure P2P which, in my experience, never works very well on mobile devices.

That's (UX) my biggest concern, honestly. UX is just too important, and it's becoming an increasingly fast moving bar. Simple things like hitting up arrow to edit your message, to more complex things like stickers and gifs, these are (unfortunately) requirements for me in my peer circles.

They sound silly, i know, but Telegram has (mostly) a great UX, and for such an important tool i can't currently give up features.. let alone convince my friends to likewise give up features.

(Fwiw, i love Matrix in design)
>they don't know the possibilities an up-to-standards iOS Safari would bring.

To be fair, they also don't care at all.
And lets start with "intentionally levels it". Why is there evidence that is happening? It would be equally reasonable to say "when the discrimination of male managers is removed".

Or are we to assume that its natural and right for 80% of managers to be men.

Due to a corporate decision, the OpenTable branch office in Chattanooga, TN is being closed down. Many of us are unwilling or unable due to family and homes to relocate to San Fransisco. (No, not everyone wants to live in SF, and we have faster internet here.) So we're looking for an "acquihire" without a company name.

Try to develop your spiritual and emotional intelligence. A lot of people in the tech and science industry seem to be so focussed on the hard skills that they neglect soft skills and other important parts of life. Success in software development is only 20% coding and 80% communication (a wise person told me). Your anxiety can be overcome, look for opportunities to build positive relationships with people, volunteer, help someone, read some non-tech literature e.g. novels, creative writing, poetry, scriptures. Personally my Christian faith has helped me understand people and become more emotionally sharp. If you have any Christian friends or family get in touch with them. Believe you can grow and overcome, the lowest moments can be the most significant turning points from which you can move forward. You can do it man.
Is there a list/forum where all victims of Apples power-abuse can unite? There must be a legal case against closed App Store abuse one day.

Coincidental: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12660339#12660541

Conservative estimate: There are hundreds of developers being pissed of by Apple daily, a significant fraction rightfully so and another fraction in a legally significant way.
I find that this pace is a symptom of the Javascript culture of popularity. It is a hallmark achievement in the career of a Javascript developer to be the maintainer of a popular library or framework and monetize their popularity by way of training videos, talks, books, and buy-in from companies building upon their work.

It's not that frightening to me, a mid-30's developer, at this point. I find the fundamentals are more important than the fads and it's relatively easy for me at this point to separate the wheat from the chaff. Is Redux or the Elm architecture good? Yes -- it's a left-fold over a state tree; great! I want that.

Are new things coming out constantly? Yes. Some of them are incremental improvements. That's a good feature to have. It means there are a horde of passionate people constantly improving the tooling and libraries available. I wish some of my preferred languages received even a fraction of the attention that JS gets.

We live in interesting times.
Node was in a very tough position as the community had actually split into multiple factions. Uniting under a foundation has only strengthened Node's community.

We can only hope that RethinkDB's community can use this time to unite together and help push the project forward, no matter where the project ends up.
The issue is that the Apache Foundation have been used as a dumping ground for "unwanted" projects. There's a number of projects that have done very well under Apache, but it's all projects where developers have moved with the code.

Sadly there's also a large number of projects that have just been thrown under the Apache hat, assuming that the foundation would somehow allocate developers. So it often seems like Apache is the place where projects go to die, while the projects that do well aren't often viewed as Apache projects. I mean who thinks about Hadoop being and Apache project?
I meant ugly as in abusive, violent or psychopathic.

I worked at a company that was purchased and the new management switched us to this type of system. During my time previous the buyout I had practically doubled my salary through reviews. With the new system I was one of two who got the highest rating the system offered. My raise was less than the previous cost-of-living increase I received.

Then they insisted I move to keep my job. Since the move meant going to a better job market I went along with it and then quit after a decent amount of time.

This whole thread is deeply disturbing. The bald statement in the headline is deeply disturbing. The fundamental assumption that women can't possibly be deserving of management positions. That any objective measure of performance would certainly favor men. That any man that loses his job to a woman has been treated unfairly.
What a cool effort. I wish this kind of thing happened more often. I really hope they get a big response.
I thought when it failed to actually scale, and its fundamental point is scaling, it would be fair to say it was no longer a useful technology?

Fascinating, missed this earlier. There is a lot of revisionism today and I think Gates always gets the short end of the stick.

It took a lot of work to build Microsoft and the PC industry with it. Hopefully in later years he will be redeemed.

Given the first instinct is always to be closed and profit the openness of the PC ecosystem must have taken gargantuan effort to build. Gates clearly believed in more accessibility, affordability and wider outreach for computing than closed systems in some deeper way, whatever his motives and the outcome on hindsight completely blew open the floodgates.

Thanks to that we have open systems on PCs instead of closed blackboxes and a massively rich ecosystem. This in itself is an impressive achievement.
OS/2 was produced by IBM, not MS.
Again you are misrepresenting my position; it's not that "sex work" is somehow more immoral than other work, it's that the purchase of sex is immoral, shameful, and frankly, pathetic. It has nothing to do with capitalism vs. anarchism or anything else.

Even under capitalism, purchasing e.g. food for your family that was somehow acquired under coercive circumstances is still less shameful than purchasing e.g. diamonds that were somehow acquired under coercive circumstances. What you're purchasing matters; it's not all the same.
This looks like a long blog post but I will be happy to read it. ^_^
The controller is supposed to control the view, thats why it's called controller. The controller sends data to the view for presentation and reacts to events from the view and updates the model accordingly. This way the view becomes quite passive, it only knows how to present data and where to send events. You separate the display from the driving of the display.
Was anybody else a bit confused by how the page says "The content you want, and nothing else - Create a secure, encrypted video site with no ads and no unrelated videos to distract people—and no headaches for your IT department." and right next to it they show a screenshot of a page with "Trending Videos" and "Popular Channels"? Isn't that pretty much the opposite of what they should be showing there?

You should tell that to some of my whiteboard coding interviewers, then. Plus, I feel that many of the interviewers who claim to be interested in though process still have a "right" way in mind and will dock interviewees for not approaching a problem the way they would.

Anyway, the post I was replying to said, " you can most likely implement and traverse one in way less than an hour" (emphasis mine). That statement has nothing to do with thought processes. To me, that requires "flesh[ing] out such things in any great detail".
For something like to succeed, you don't need corporate backing or a large structured organization. You need programmers who are familiar with the language (C++?), familiar with the code base, actively interested in adding features, and (preferably) have a vested interest from their day jobs to improve the product.

Looking at other open source databases (PG, MariaDb, etc), the total number of contributors may be large but the core contributors who work on the nuts and bolts of the internals is small. If you don't have that core set, any new home for RethinkDB is going to remain vacant.

This is going to be huge. 10 years ago, I would never have thought that technology alone sufficiently differentiated YouTube from "long tail" offerings like Vevo or Twitch. It turns out you can have multiple, multiple-billion-dollar businesses using essentially the same platform. The use cases inherent to various content niches inform new user interfaces and modes of interacting with the underlying video data.

Enterprise Video is a huge content niche. I've used YouTube in the past for business videos, but it was awkward. I wanted greater privacy, which YouTube does not really offer, because these videos discussed pre-launch ideas. We already used Office 365, so Microsoft Stream would have been a no-brainer.

I would love to perform research with the MS Stream platform, too. By focusing on the niche of business, Stream is creating interesting audience dynamics that will be quite different from the "grazing" model of recreational video watching. This is relevant to my interests.
Web apps are cheaper and faster to develop. This makes it possible to try more new ideas and serve more niche markets that might not justify the upfront cost of full-blown native development. Why not let developers and users have a choice here?

Fancy graphics are not really the issue. It's things like service workers and shadow dom that are really crucial.

SCO and Caldera were a merger that should never have happened. SCO made all of its money off of line items in very expensive deals done by channel sales guys who integrated complex products.

Caldera made all of its money by going into shops with SCO-based point-of-sales or industrial control or what-have-you, and cutting the integrators/resellers out of the loop.

Putting those two businesses under one roof was doomed to failure.

Do you say that Joseph Ratzinger was actually a Nazi, or just that he was a German soldier in Second World War? There's quite some difference.

The German army was just German army, not specifically a "Nazi army" even though the country was lead by Nazis and even though modern click-baiting headlines equate the two.

As far as I know, Ratzinger had nothing to do with National Socialism beyond what was compulsory and unavoidable under pain of death in Nazi Germany (i.e. being drafted).

I think they are demonstrating discovery within-company. That feature will be huge. It potentially eliminates meetings that would have had to occur "between silos" - which are extremely difficult meetings to begin with.

If somebody from team A (on campus 1) can watch a video from team C (on campus 3) without needing their team leaders to coordinate a meeting, this will be extremely valuable to businesses.

But why would team A ever find out about team C? That's where this discovery feature comes in. See what's trending within-company.
Interesting read.

I grew up in a rural town just outside the suburbs of a US rust-belt city. I had a similar experience, but not nearly so severe. Luckily for me, the suburbs were a 40 minute drive, and we had access to 2 metro areas worth of radio stations (thanks to being across lake Ontario from Toronto). So I not only heard the talking heads thanks to CFNY, I saw Depeche Mode, New Order, etc in concert with my high school friends.

The point I was going to make is that I just returned to the town for the first time in 20 years (my parents moved away in the mid 90s) due to a family vacation to Niagara Falls. I was AMAZED at how little the town had changed. If I squinted, I could be back in high school in the mid 80s. The only real differences were some of the shops had changed hands and the cars were newer. This is in stark contrast to the places where I've lived in my adult life (Raleigh-Durham, the Bay Area, Virginia) where things change at a rapid clip.

For a headline that explicitly excludes the 3rd essential component of growing (light, water, nutrients), the article mentions nothing about how these plants are getting nutrients.

The coolest thing in the story for me is using salty air to repel pests. Though I wonder about the longevity of that solution.

In the 1980s, XENIX 286 was able to use the 286 protected mode to deliver real protected memory and pre-emptive multitasking on a PC-AT. That more or less guaranteed a certain market share, because a PC-AT was a lot cheaper than anything with a 68k or a 386.

Xenix was successful because it delivered a lot of bang for the buck. It ran on relatively inexpensive hardware and delivered a lot of UNIX flavor despite the limitations.

Really early versions of Xenix would run on an actual 8086, with no protected memory whatsoever. I don't think any other UNIX ever managed that.
