Joseph JaJa's Introduction is still worthwhile if you've never seen it.
DDG has been my preferred search for years. I'd tried it pre-Snowden, off-and-on. Since Snowden or before it's been fully acceptible:

1. Results close to as good if not better than Google.

2. No tracking.

3. Bang searches. With the "too clever by half" search dialogs many sites are implementing (Wikipedia, Internet Archive, Google Ngram Viewer) it's often superior to the native on-site search as I don't have to set focus 2-4 times to actually type in the bloody search dialog.

4. No tracking.

5. Did I mention no tracking?

6. Proxy bang searches, e.g., StartPage.

7. Search customisations -- light page (good for console and commandline search), night mode, and others.

8. Unmangled URLs. I can copy/paste URLs straight from DDG. No-can-do with Google.
Any good search engines in the paid space?
Thanks! We fixed and pushed it.
The snowmobiles et al aren't part of Bombardier-proper any more, that part of the business was sold-off back in 2003 to focus on the 'core' of transportation systems. They're made by BRP now ( Bombardier Recreational Products, technically, though they can't use the name ) who seem to be doing fine.

Bombardier is a running joke in Northern Ireland, where they bought Short Brothers[0] and shut-down a promising and well-advanced airliner project only to recognise that there was a market niche and launched the CRJ hastily streched from their Challenger business jet. And then a few years later, after selling over 1000 of them, discovered they owed per-hull royalties to Bill Lear ( of Learjet ) who held the rights to the original business jet design...

Every few years they lay-off hundreds of Belfast workers, then receive a big order and hastily recruit agency-supplied contractors who have no idea how to assemble an aeroplane. Guess what.. by the time they're up to speed, it's time for another lay-off because business is soft again.

[0] the industry-preferred partner for Shorts was Fokker, but uk.gov was interfering and preferred Bombardier
If you're looking at Django alone, Rails has more functionality for building APIs. DRF is the package that makes Django on par with (in my opinion, better than) Rails.

I see Sinatra as more similar to Flask than DRF.
Did you grow up in the McMansion? Were the schools mostly kids that came from these upper-middle class families? I'm curious because I flip back and forth between wanting a good school district for my kids and wanting to expose them to a little more socioeconomic diversity. Just curious your thoughts on growing up in that type of area, particularly around education and socializing with other kids.

From the looks of it, my 7+ shipped with the Intel modem, and I can definitely see a drop in network strength when compared to my wife's iPhone 6. This is particularly worse when traveling, as the phone barely manages handoff properly.

I also noticed strange interference noise when using my earphones during my everyday commute. This seems to have been fixed by the recent update (10.0.3) though.
No, I agree with you, actually. Luck plays a huge part. It should inform all of us with opinions in this area about how little our opinions really matter.

Also, I disagree that users are suffering as a result, but that is a different discussion altogether.
I initially thought that the number of bombardier jobs (as in, the guy who drops bombs from a plane) was being reduced by 7500. I was shocked there were that many.
Just click "Web" under the title above ^
And 5S is stellar in a production or manufacturing environment. Great in labs, too. It shines when physical products and processes are the primary purpose of an area.

It absolutely sucks when it's applied to the physical space of an office (well, overly) where information is the purpose. A digital 5S needs to be developed, the physical one is mostly irrelevant.

I remember reading that the building of the Disneyland in Europe was more costly than the one in the USA because they had to use real materials and kind-of-real construction processes, for customers are used to real historical stuff everywhere and would be shocked by bad quality replicas; whereas plastic and crude fake construction was okay for Americans, they would not bat an eyelid.
Because the ecosystem is mostly built by people with no formal education and little experience -- they're literally re-inventing everything from the history of computer science.

Vaguely related: curious what people here think of OutSystems as a developer platform. More generally, what do people think of ever using a system like this - I would be petrified of the company going out of business and being trapped. OutSystems looks very cool.

What does the first part of the sentence mean? Where is "selfish nastiness" considered good? Even on social media the jerks are either blocked, ignored, or waste time in silly arguments. If people are rude in the media, it's because watching people be nice all day isn't very fun.

No, and that's a feature.

Google's path to the dark side hit a major milestone with Gmail, and the fact that you now had a reason to personally and identifiably log in to your search engine provider.

No, no, no, nope, fucking bloody hell no!

I'm thinking it's hard time to give https://Sandstorm.io a really good looking at.
The marketers and advertisers have finally won. Google hasn't been an engineering company for the last 5 years maybe, but this confirms it. It's like Facebook, they're beholden to the non-developers and non-software engineers who frankly don't care about other people's privacy and only see the dollar bills.

So glad I'm evaluating other email providers and use Privoxy for ad-blocking.
No, not necessarily journalists; rahter, an information source...Fortune - a site/company known for journalism/reporting - now just gave HackerNews more legitimacy as an official information source...Now with this power, please use it responsibly. ;-)
The thing is that to deal with most of the household tasks that most of us would like to have handled by someone you're effectively talking about having the robotic and AI equivalent to a human housekeeper. Which would be great but you have to make quantum leaps in both robotics and AI.

I'm more hopeful in the near term of an AI virtual assistant that can intelligently at least deal with things in the digital space.
Foxconn and their awful employment treatment are brought to you by the profits of more than just Apple however. Perhaps that's why people have a knee jerk reaction to singling out a tech company.

Ask HN: Way of approach after building a proof of concept?
I started to chase an idea (whoose end-goals were different) 2.5 years ago. Since its inception - the idea has underwent evolution that I could barely imagine to what it started as. Most of changes to idea were because I didn't know enough or what I knew was not useful. And I have now managed to string together an important proof of concept.

Without exaggeration : I believe it can/will disrupt several things.

I am having the following dilemma :

This idea can/will lead to good startup(s) or also it can/will also be next best open source thing. Im not sure which path to take as I cannot claim to be experienced in either.

Not to mention

1. Have put family members under great stress.. They have put in lot of sacrifices.

2. Have burnt all my life savings and few months to go broke.

3. this + ML = more_powers ?

PS: #3 - I should admit an ML expert would be a good judge to define the scope for it.

How should I approach from here ?

It seems like they've been having financial difficulties for the last 10-20 years. It's almost like they are the Radio Shack of trains/plains/snowmobiles.
You wouldn't like my desk (actually 2 desks) at work - I have a pile of stuff that includes, on casual inspection: a Microsoft Surface (half buried), 2 sets of earphones, a fleece hat that has been there since last winter, my wallet, some maps, tattered flip chart pages, notebooks, a good 2" of documents in various stages of decomposition (used for scribbling on rather than reading), half destroyed vendor anti-stress toys, a barcode scanner and stand....

And my actual work monitors, keyboard and mouse on a relatively tidy area.
Unfortunately, Paradox games use that term slightly differently than is standard. It doesn't mean any justification for war, but any act that then starts a justified war. (e.g., "reclaim our land" is not a casus belli, but the initial conquest of that land was a casus belli.)

I think this is misleading. I'm assuming your referring to the election related leaks, which as far as I've seen are significantly different than private sector database leaks.

Aren't you saying exactly the same as the comment you reply to? (great for business use, not all that useful for private use)

and a few years back there were a lot of printer makers proclaiming loudly that everybody would want to have a 3D printer at home and home printing would be "next big thing". Reality is a lot slower (there is some uptake in hobbies outside "tinkering with technology", and they are sold in mainstream-y sales channels now)
I honestly can't say I've seen any true jQuery shaming exclusive of the cherry-picked click-bait blogs. The only "shaming" I hear is typically post-interview justifications as to why someone wasn't hired, as if it might not simply be the possibility that someone else was more qualified.
These tests churn GBs of data (necessary given how fast flash is), rendering the cache largely irrelevant. As I mentioned elsewhere, it is incredibly unlikely that parallelism plays a part (and has never been the case in prior devices, nor is it the case with the vast majority of SSDs. Anyone blindly buying larger for more parallelism is very likely to be disappointed). Different vendors make their memory solutions, and there are huge variations in options. We've seen this across a single model of a set size when two different vendors provide the storage.

In the end it really won't make a difference for real world use.
Keeping Serial numbers in sync can be basically impossible.

That's a good point: is this change retroactive (will old data be associated)?
> I was no military threat at that time

At least in Civ 5, that's a REASON for Civs to DOW you, not a reason for them not to. Expansionist Civ 5 AIs are opportunistic; they attack what they perceive as weaker neighbours. That's why you never grant them embassies or open borders; so they don't learn that you're not building an army.
My understanding of current mainstream thought is that gravity due to a black hole of a given mass will have the exact same effect as from a planet of the same mass.
That's crazy! I noticed this when I got the iPhone 6+. When I'm on the train I have to put it in airplane mode and take it back out for it to find the nearest tower sometimes. I thought this was just a power saving technique by Apple (maybe if it doesn't poll as much it doesn't use as much battery?) but it's obnoxious as hell if you're a commuter.
An additional avenue I've seen frequently exploited that hasn't been mentioned yet is password reuse. It is cyclic, however with all of these database thefts, attackers are gaining access to large numbers of credentials which can be leveraged to gain privileged access to other companies and systems.
Pretty sure it is "license hell" between EA and Firaxis (maybe a third party?) so Beyond Earth is about the best we are going to get. Do wish this wasn't the case as I loved AC, terraforming was great especially being able to deny the AI cities water by building a giant mountain to the west of them.
Do sales people have something important other than their interpersonal skills? Like if I am just a 1 person startup, I am pretty sure the 2nd guy to hire would always be some confident full-stack guy. I am not going to go and find some sales pro. There would be no way to convince that guy to work for a small startup.
This is solid advice if you want your company to grow linearly at the rate you acquire knowledge. Hire people who are verifiable more knowledgeable than you in areas you seek to grow.
It would be far simpler and more direct to FIRST rule out an undiscovered massive planet before seriously considering something as strange as gigantic chunk of invisible dark matter.

No, that is definitely not what the McMansion Hell author thinks. A lot of the criticisms on that site are about ostentatious design details divorced from their functional goals, and on the impact a lot of this design has on energy efficiency.

Ironically, a quick search of my Gmail mailbox came up with this gem in the subject line from Dyn.

"Did you know the average cost of a single DDoS outage is $882K?"
We really aren't; even discounting people who home-roll it, many companies just don't use existing security features of languages well. An example I've seen in action is Rails' html_safe, which I've seen multiple developers use to make user supplied content "safe," when really it is meant to demarcate data that you have ensured is safe to include
But "I wanted to spare developers from suffering...if we don’t allow developers to provide the experience users need, we’re not doing anyone any favors"
Those are emergency situations, though. I'm talking specifically about a model for cooperative decision making between AI wherein the AI has access to data from both sets of sensors (in its most limited example), and is therefore able to make a superior decision to if it had only its own data.

Simple scenario to illustrate this: car X enters a narrow bidirectional road which is lined with cars. There is enough room only for one car to pass at a time, safely. Car Y enters from the other end. Several more cars enter behind car Y (we'll call these Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4).

One car must reverse back down the road from the midway point, in order for any cars to pass through.

Car X and its driver cannot see what is behind car Y, but for car Y to reverse it must rely on Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4 reversing. In order for this to happen, Y4 must first reverse despite not being able to see why it needs to reverse (either through meat or tech sensors).

The optimal solution is that sensor data reviewed in the aggregate by each car leads to a cooperative decision that car X should reverse until it can pull over, and allow the other cars to pass before proceeding.

In an emergency situation it's also possible to envisage scenarios in which shared data analysis and cooperative decision making are optimal. For example, consider cars X and Y now destined for a high speed, head-on collision. The right lane of the road (car X's right, car Y's left) is clear and the left lane (car X's left, car Y's right) is a deep trench. A primitive or non collaborative AI might suggest that both cars swerve to the same direction to avoid collision, which results in a collision of similar magnitude. A better solution than swerving the two cars into each other might be to swerve one into the ditch and one into the road. The optimal solution is likely to swerve only one car and hard stop the other, knowing that the other car is going to move its direction of travel significantly. This can only be done by giving the cars the ability to make decisions collaboratively.
Also, it's easier to give such a person meaningful tasks, because you understand what they do.

I've seen comments online about DDG providing only an illusion of privacy. I haven't dug into this deeply. From what I've read this comes down to DDG (including bang searches like !g and !sp) stripping identifying information, which provides protection from tracking by entities like advertisers and social networks, but not law enforcement or agencies like the NSA that may have legal options or extralegal access. Is my understanding generally correct? Any corrections/additions/clarifications appreciated.
When I read announcements like these I actually get a bit hopeful. These companies seem somewhat scared, and their funding bases more fragile than they let on.
If you root, you won’t be able to use Android Pay (an advertised feature of the device) anymore due to the recent changes to SafetyNet that now trigger if even the bootloader isn’t locked.
Redux never really gelled with me and I couldn’t really understand why until I settled with MobX: all the boilerplate and some idiosyncratic names you need to know to really understand and use Redux was too much friction for me.
What is that going to do, the outcome is the attacker still has the password hash and the linked email address?
No necessarily better: if I picture your example correctly, there is a lot of space wasted as road (alley).

Design Tip: Never Use Black (2012)
I think there are killer apps for VR, mainly Telepresence.

I've been trying to make it work but it's not something you can really bootstrap (well, you can, but it's taking me a long time :P ).

Some validation: "When I was asked to see a 360-degree, fully spherical panoramic picture of The Colosseum in virtual reality, I thought, “meh, what’s so special about a picture?”
I finished some work, perhaps made a cup of coffee or two, before I made my way over. Well, I was wrong. I’ve never been to The Colosseum, but I was blown away by how much it managed to make me feel like I was there"

Jeff Atwood:

"Adding hands to VR was revelatory, the one bit of VR I've experienced to date that I can honestly say I was blown away by.

Add hands, and suddenly you are there because you can now interact with that VR world in a profoundly human way: by touching it. "

People from the USA are not so used to these problems, but I live it every day - I work remotely, I have family in 4 continents, a lot of what I want to buy is not sold in my country so I have no way of knowing if it's what I actually want, and a long list of etceteras.

The context is tech companies (making phones) that are immoral in addition to Samsung. Complaining that someone singled out Apple Computers is missing the point badly.

No-one is saying your beloved Apple is the only company that hides behind corporatism as an excuse to be shitty, they're saying Apple is also such a company.
These phones exist, because people are buying them.
Other phones that allow unlocking the bootloader also exist.
I think many people are missing what's happening here. This isn't the first time we have seen lots of churn. Every time some group discovers something "new" they latch on to it and try to shape it in their image of what is the best. This is natural and important.

Even looking back about 20 years, how many companies where making CPUs? How many different architectures where there? How many companies where making PC clones?

Remember

RISC is going to change everything - Hackers

We get fanatical about random things every few years because the technology is generally good, then we all thing "that's stupid I like it better like this" and after a few years of unmaintainable messes we settle on the middle ground that most people are ok with (x86).

This is natural the world isn't ending
I agree with your "quoted" statement. Cynicism is not a flavor of pessimism.
Holy shit. Maybe because I'm a part-owner in this institutions? Would you think it fair for a private company to take my money as investment money, and give me nothing in return, and keep all the profits for themselves?

I've never met anyone who actually believed in "privatize the profits, socialize the losses", but here you are.

And your claims about basic research and a poorer world have no evidence whatsoever to back them up. Universities have not always been this way.

That could be absolutely gorgeous. A couple options that pop into my head. A column in the center which contains a number of shelves, and so the books. But also, you could have the books stored in the steps themselves. The space under the steps is hollow, so turn that into shelves. The height of the books would be an issue, but paperbacks would do well, I think.
