I know what you mean. The irony is just too much.

I find all comment sections are easier to read if you imagine that everyone is being ironic and mocking the type of person that would actually have those beliefs.

There is a dichotomy on the internet between those who believe that the most emotionally powerful argument wins, and those who believe that if you use emotion in an argument you can be automatically discounted.

The two sides find it very hard to discuss things, and I think there is a natural tendancy for any discussion forum to gravaitate towards the emotive. Those that like unemotive discussion tend to withdraw once people start shouting, or they join in the shouting. Possibly because it's very easy to turn a rational discussion into an emotive one, but very hard to go from emotive to rational.

It reminds me of the opposite of evaporation, whereby the hotter the discussion gets, the less likely cold agents are to contribute, thereby increasing the heat of the discussion.

If you swap the video, they're counting the time to cold startup to fully load the page from your last session. And sure, I have dozens of tabs in Chrome, and while Chrome itself starts fast, fully load a webpage can take a long time.
These lines last for a long, long time. Inevitably, they will provide transit for rich and poor areas alike at various times in their lifespans. Not to mention that the people who work in a neighborhood don't always live there, and that includes people in low wage jobs who are especially dependent on public transit.

Also, this particular line will relieve traffic on other lines that go through the heart of some rougher neighborhoods.
Video has no controls = Internet marketer spam = Insta-close the tab for me – just like a popup.
The way to fix this is increasing the size of the blocks, which is trivial from a technical standpoint, but it has some implications that the current majority of miners are not willing to accept.
In theory, I see nothing wrong with them.

Non-competes ask employees to give up something extremely significant: freedom to work there they choose. Which I have no problem with if they get something significant in exchange.

Let's an employer wants some insurance that I won't go work elsewhere because there is going to be a long training period or what not. I expect significant compensation for that, ideally in the form of a large signing bonus, maybe 50k per year of non compete.

Don't want to pay 50k in cash up front per year of non compete? Take out the non compete. Simple negotiation.

I guess the problem in practice is that employees just sign their employment contract no matter what it says, which is unfortunate.

That is the case for Bitcoin but not for all blockchains, particularly prove of stake systems. BitShares for example has an extremely efficient system.

The tradeoff is that the 'peer' need to be relatively high performance servers (just normal commodity servers, nothing special).

Its impossible to achieve with the concept of everybody running their own nodes on a laptop.

In BitShares the Shareholders (people who own BitShares) can vote on either improving the performance and decreasing the distribution or the other way around.

So you are still gone be somewhat less efficient compared to Mastercard but you can achieve the same the scalability with a reasonable amount of extra power usage.

Is it possible this might have something to do with style?

I use RK9000s exclusively on my desktops, and I can type all day on my MBP without pain. But I do notice that on the MBP I type differently, because key travel and activation force are so much less than the MX Blue switches I'm used to. If I used that kind of force on an MBP keyboard, with nothing really to backstop it, I'd expect to get sore pretty fast, just as I would if I used the same kind of force on MX Blues that I'd need to activate the switches on one of my old Model M finger-breakers.

Typing comfortably on an MBP I think needs a somewhat different approach. It feels less like typing than like drumming my fingers on a table, which never quite all the way stops being weird. But it works, and as I said, I can do it all day without getting sore. Perhaps you can, too!

...because every user knows the satoshis/byte ratio of their transaction, right?

And even if they did, we'd even up with a backlog of the same transactions, all paying higher fees. Bitcoin is barely managing 2 transactions/second at the moment, higher fees won't speed this up.
I hope to release TableTops next year.

It's a non-linear graphical (in two senses of the word) knowledge management software that stores universal links to all of your stuff, local and in the cloud. It also does notes, tags, and script nodes (which can for example be used as alarms / reminders) and represents EVERYTHING as a great big graph.

The main UI element is a TableTop, which is also just a node in the graph that acts as a visual slice through it. Nodes (normal and other TableTops) can live on any number of TableTops.

Non-nerd users can see the TableTops as an infinite number of large work tables with your de-duplicated documents on them.

I have to work on the TL;DR. I also have to work on not rewriting the prototype every few months. :)
Correct. You want me to "non compete" with you? Pay me either a bonus or a salary (90% is fine) during the non-compete period

Apart from that please shove your non-compete there

Depends. I'll happily take my old salary for just sitting on my butt and not doing anything. Of course, I would not be sitting like that - I'd probably take a part-time job somewhere else, and spend the rest of the time educating myself (for my field as well as for other things). Non-competes don't cover reading books.

1) deontological: freedom to contract is always a good thing. It is a human right, and government has no legitimate moral power to remove that right from people.

That's not a strong argument either. You could substitute "contract" with anything. I say this as a staunch libertarian. Government restrictions aren't bad because "government", but because restrictions.

The free market works best when government restricts the freedom to restrict freedom. That's why cartels being illegal is good (they restrict competition), bans on insider trading are good (they restrict fair competition), etc. Non-compete restricts the freedom on the labor markets.

If you let people do anything they want because freedom, you don't actually get freedom.
The fact that employers value non competes as assets tells you that a) decreased turnover saves money b) employees who can't as easily leave require smaller/fewer incentives to stay

In fact its trivial to show that non competes result in depressed wages. It in fact shows you the exact opposite of what you intend to show. Non competes are valued as assets as it enables employers to pay employees LESS than in a free market.

Ideally, you would standardize keycaps across all editors. I've been meaning to but haven't come around. It'd also be great if there'd be some standardization – not necessarily on the shortcuts themselves, but around a format to specify them. .editorconf, or the vscode language servers are great examples of this sort of anarchic cooperation, but shortcuts don't seem to be in scope for them.

From other places where this holds, it only refers to the district of the original purchase. And people don't move that much either, so 90% of the plates or such are accurate as to their owner's district too.
But Sierra doesn't have "Hey Siri" enabled out of the box, right? But a solution that works may be not too far off. In earlier versions, pressing the 'fn' key twice enables voice dictation out of the box, if that's the keyboard default for Siri in Sierra, that could do the trick.

It can't be anti employee. Employers don't pay more for employees with non competes they pay less. In the case of the fictional employees you mentioned previously both employers would have faced a more competitive market for employees resulting in higher wages.

The non compete is nearly entirely valuable in that it it depresses wages. In reality its entirely likely that between firm A and firm B neither has a whole lot of special sauce non competes mostly serve to keep each other from competing for employees thus driving up wages.

Not the OP, but personally affected by all of: 1) rMBP screengate, 2) rMBP video problem, 3) Mavericks "Service Battery", 4) MagSafe fraying, 5) 2008 MBP GPU, 6) 2007 MacBook plastic cracking.

On the software side, I seem to encounter plenty of little frustrating bugs - like not being able to remove AirDrop from the finder sidebar. Or having my windows reposition themselves every time my machine sleeps while connected to an external display. I've filed many an unanswered bug report...

I also feel like Apple's HCI has regressed quite a lot. They tweak Mission Control / Desktops / Spaces every damn release, but there are never any preferences to make it work how you want it to. Around about Mavericks it was near perfect. 10.10 made it glacially slow. 10.11 sped it up, but removed desktop previews. 10.12 has messed with the mouse gesture slowing the animation down, and rubberbanding on repeat gesture instead of closing. Wat.

Then there's stuff like the replacement of iPhoto with Photos.... yikes.

When you pair all the above with the ridiculously anti-consumer attitude Apple have toward their hardware now (it's 2016 and they are still using proprietary SSD blades, and glueing batteries?), it really pisses me off.
http://www.vedantaworld.org ; depends what you mean by religion. If you mean rituals, chanting, singing and livery, sure there's some of that. But it's the most non-secular approach to 'rejoining with the source' (religion = re-ligare) that I could find, as a previously confirmed and staunch atheist.

The daily schedule involves a relatively austere but comfortable routine, which is supported by a strong questioning and reasoning regime. The entire living experience speaks to and reinforces the knowledge imparted.

I actually think this is excellent for developers as well – they are among the people who most strive to do everything by keyboard, but its really quite hard to remember all useful shortcuts of multiple editors/browsers etc.

I'd love the next generation to have tactile feedback, or maybe at some point to go full-on single-key OLED like that concept that went around a couple of years ago. But depending on the APIs, this may already be quite useful.
The blockchain need to see the actual transaction and store it. Otherwise people wouldn't know their balances. Storing the data elsewhere would require a trusted third party.

Bitcoin requires no trusted third party to operate.

Because I don't want to open a new browser window because I closed the last tab and there's no Close-other-tabs key binding, just a menu item, if I were to emulate the behavior by closing all other tabs, optionally clear history and navigating to somewhere else in the current (now solitary) tab.
Indeed, but their method is clearly stated and very easy to understand, so the reader can take the conclusion with an appropriate grain of salt.
So I only know a minimal amount about Rust, so if there's things which are the same there, then I'll probably be blindly ignorant about them.

First thing is that with the build tool Stack and now with recent versions of Cabal the process of having a nice repeatable consistent build is pretty smooth. I also used a tool called ghcid to get sub-second feedback on my changes as I make them.

Haskell has started at the opposite end of the spectrum to most programming languages, as in "How do I represent functions mathematically?" rather than "How do I flip this bit in the accumulator register?". Which is probably somewhat to your point about oddities, for me coming from an OOP background there was a huge mental shift that had to happen to "get it". I've found that things tend to just slot together so much more easily as a result. Curried functions for example was a revelation for me, being able to pass (== 10) to a list filter isn't some special case syntactic sugar it just falls out by default.

Now much more people have gotten to grips with it there are amazing things like the servant libraries which allow you to define a HTTP service(url, query params, request method, etc.) with a type. You can implement a service against that type and get all the appropriate checks, which is great. But then the incredible part is that you can get it to create functions for each endpoint in that service totally automatically at compile time: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/servant-client#readme
If you want a short outage you have to ask for it.

1: Publish a request for bids, stipulate that price and outage duration be specified. 2: Wait. 3: Take the bids that are within 30% of the lowest bid, 4: Sort by outage duration. 5: Sign the contract.

Or another variation. Just don't expect bidders to optimise for something that isn't mentioned in the spec.

Outsource Google Analytics Data Analysis [Join My Beta]
Data Analysis is extremely valuable for small businesses, yet it's incredibly time consuming and complicated.

I'm working on a tool to analyse automatically all your online business data (Google Analytics, MixPanel, Heap, Social Media etc) and let you know precisely what you need to know, not only copy pasting the metrics but really explaining you what they mean and what you can do to improve them.

My "lean" solution to this problem, which will verify my hypothesis (people will pay for data analysis) is a service where you can outsource this task.
Marketing analysts will clean your data from spam, and let you know with a report every Monday morning how things are going. For the beta we have only Google Anlytics.

Okay, I'll bite on this. I accept that all politicians have lied (as has everyone else), so she's a lier.

I'd be genuinely interested to see any evidence that points to treachery, murder, or her not caring about rights or the constitution.

I'm not looking for 100% evidence here, just any evidence that strongly points in that direction. (With citations to other sources, obviously. Just saying she has killed people doesn't count).

The fact that the grandfather comment is the top-rated comment (as of this writing) in the thread to me suggests that a great number of people agree with him/her, which sort of contradicts your "argument from ignorance" point.

Just because thousands of HN readers are intelligent engineers, founders, scientists, marketers, etc. doesn't make them legal experts, or political experts.

You assume that "freedom to contract" means that both parties enter with equal knowledge and equal bargaining power. In an environment with high unemployment (like we were not to long ago) it could mean that employees would jump at any job they were offered, out of necessity, even if it came with a nasty non-compete.

Government regulators can look at an overall picture and see that, statistically, in great numbers, there are overarching problems with the non-competes, like their being used with employees who don't have trade secrets.
