I've thought about it, and it's ultimately not really the idea here, because your time spent would be predetermined. If you really want to, you can use the mirror mode and hit every weekday.

You're putting words in my mouth. I never said that. I was pointing out that the amount of disruption was being vastly underestimated.

Always remember that what's better for most can be the opposite for some. If that some is big enough there's going to be big problems. How big is hard to say but if we know it's coming and we do nothing our wounds will be self-inflicted.

Yes, but it's the 4G and successors that AFAIK had the selector that was dubbed the "Click Wheel." Previous models had a mechanical scroll wheel that looked somewhat similar and which incrementally added touch functions but when people talk about the click wheel they're normally referring to the tap sensors in the iPod Mini & the 4G and followons.

Not all attorneys are crooks. My daughter is attorney for business (Droit commercial, France) and she is definitely not a crook. In fact they spend a significant amount of work time trying to get the due money from clients. Please don't generalize.

The real problem is that there is no efficient system to weed out the crooks. There are no efficient pressure against them. Psychopats are king.
The percentage of Americans employed as farmers in the US far exceeded that of trucker drivers. Yes there was disruption, but those people didn't permanently go on to be the underclass unemployed of society. They and their descendants went on to more fruitful activities. The thing is, at the time, you couldn't imagine what those activities would be.

I'm not dismissing anyone in the way you think. I'm not passing negative judgement on the people I'm talking about - I just don't think they're hackers. I don't think they couldn't become them, either. What I'm saying is this: git is easier to understand with the context you have from being the kind of hacker I'm talking about. People only ever written rails or node from the comfort of Atom and their four favorite shell commands simply don't have the experience to easily understand why git works the way it does. That's not an inherently bad thing, but it does make git more difficult to understand.
The VC answer is good, but I think growth is necessary to sustain the social part of a social network as well.

I joined Twitter very late, to get news when the Boston marathon bombing was happening, and while the feeling that twitter is a forum that covers the whole internet is still there, it's at late stages.

Most people are well and truly over the idea that twitter is worthwhile in and of itself, and most people are pretty much following as many people as they want to be. It's much more likely that long time users are cutting down on follows than adding new ones.

It still has a culture where you can talk to strangers on the internet, but a pretty big etiquette has grown up around that, and that can also be intimidating coming in late.
And the problem was?

At least two of them are based on disagreements with established projects about where things are heading (Gnome, Wayland), and one was pretty much an experiment in alternatives to sysv (Upstart).

Why it is that everything has to come out of Fedora/Gnome/Freedesktop these days?!

This was first published last February, and the top comment was from a Googler who's involved with the AMP project:

> Love this. Not sure by coincidence, but the AMP team has been playing around with the same thing under literally the same name. We should meet up some time and discuss details.
Not sure it would be an alternative, but rather a complementary thing.

I wonder what ever came of that.
Seems odd that they didn't define the term "pen register" beyond the "(outbound messages)" in the graphic. From Wikipedia: "A pen register, or dialed number recorder (DNR), is an electronic device that records all numbers called from a particular telephone line."

"Although Mozilla’s sanctions are too severe..."

These guys must be joking. Trust has been lost, the roots should be permanently revoked.

If anything, I think Mozilla's actions are not severe enough. How likely is it that Mozilla doesn't know the full story? There may be additional violations that have been missed.
Unless I am uninformed, I don't think it's the case that any of these IoT devices come with malware preinstalled. They are just vulnerable because of weak default identical passwords. The fear is about these devices being exploited, not that they are malicious themselves. My argument still stands. You could just as easily load malware which ignores American IPs.
This is very interesting and I don't want to detract from that .

However, pointing out that for a (large?) portion of us, CPP means "C Plus Plus" so I was confused for a few seconds.

Reminds me of the old joke. If it was a hardware failure, the hardware guys will spend months building models and testing them for stresses and strains and running simulations to find the point of failure. The software engineers will just ask if they can run it again, with breakpoints.

Uber chose this market - but why a heavy perishable delivery.

You nailed it yourself. It's heavy, so hard for people to move (easier for machines). It's perishable, so it benefits greatly from more frequent smaller deliveries, instead of rare large deliveries. If you don't have to pay a person to drive, you can do that. Additionally, the packaging is perfectly regular (cans or kegs, always the same size, made of a durable material).
Alright, basically I didn't want to jump straight to Hitler, because it's so overused, overdramatic and distracting. But do they actually gain credibility by being "fair" to the campaign of Hitler back from the dead? They don't.

When they call a spade a spade, the media gains credibility in the next election between two normal candidates.

I'm sure someone will hate this comparison. But really, the republican candidate is a fucking monster this time. It's never been this bad. It's not even a bad comparison anymore. I've always hated when people use it, but this guy wants to do some scary shit.

“In a normal company, the personality of the boss is usually diluted by the fact that the question of how to successfully run the business was answered a long time ago.”

Definitely true for me and other people I know. Often all of a founder's egotism, paranoia and other foibles seem to be magnified whilst trying to find a business model.
Or C Pre-Processor.
Interesting proposal. I think it'd take a lot of fine tuning to work as desired though.

You'd have to make the tax low enough to still retain a significant benefit for the company, but high enough to aid in providing a social safety net. You'd also have to ensure that it's hard to get around this legislation without making it so broadly applicable that AI research and development are penalized.
>However, I have no idea why anyone would want to emulate Cyrix chips or later PCs other than out of curiosity. A lot on this list does seem superfluous.

Gaming, mostly. A lot of computer games from back then simply will not run on modern machines. Even after things fell into place with DirectX/OpenGL, Windows is such a complex system that keeping all those millions of plates spinning at once is simply impossible

There's games today that I can't run from the last 15 years alone, like Westwood Studios Command & Conquer series. The company is defunct, and the buyer (EA) lost the source code over a decade ago, if you believe the rumors. There's simply no other way to RUN the game past Windows 7 (EA no longer bothers patching it to work on newer systems with their re-releases)

The only alternative is really to simply buy the older hardware, which is becoming increasingly scarce and difficult to maintain (why would we keep these 30 year old Video card drivers says someone at AMD, before rm -rf'ing them off the FTP for instance?)
One could apply the same argument to cloud hosting no? You are paying Amazon and Google to give them data on your storage, traffic, and processing needs.

Unfortunately for Twitter, social networking is not that niche.
Mexican food can be spicy but it varies a lot from between individual cooks and individual dishes from the same cook, as well as regionally. I've been to places where virtually everything on the menu was, at most, on slightly spicy--but they had one dish with, e.g., an intense salsa negra that was incredibly spicy. Mexican food is incredibly diverse, and definitely included plenty of spicy, bury it's not uniformly or even mostly spicy.
They are addressing it, but it's a future feature. Last i saw on Github issues (it likely has evolved since then), they plan to have a central authority which allows for DMCAs/reports/etc of illegal content. The network then propagates an ignore list of sorts (or possibly watches a central list).

Any nodes on the network which abide by this will simply not download and/or unpin the data.

It doesn't prevent you from downloading some kiddy porn that a stranger sent you.. but neither does the internet. This, is purely to allow law to take place, and hopefully allow lawmakers to work with IPFS, and not block the whole damn thing.

There are some, but more effort is needed.

http://deepchem.io/ is trying to set up standard data sets for chemoinformatics/machine learning.

ChEMBL and PubChem are the big public repositories though some care must be taken in curating data from these for machine learning.
Do you have multiple hosts serving the same domain by any chance?

I'm wondering if there's been any progress in finding an easy solution for this use-case.
Having talked with people that have close insight into Discover Weekly it actually only checks your last few thousand songs though (weighting them accordingly) and checks if those songs are on other peoples playlists, then choosing the songs on their playlists that are not on yours. This means that you have a pretty big pool of songs to start with (people with similar taste) that is getting smaller and smaller. The fact that those people also use discover weekly could lead to a bit of a feedback loop.

I found a friend who during a party came up and said "I listen to this song all the time, it's amazing!" and then the next and the next and the next song the same happened. We had been listening to the same (semi-obscure) music for the majority of the past year. It was only later that we discovered that we had both found the songs from discover weekly and were not at all as obscure and knowledgable about music, but hey: we had the same taste in music.
I seem to recall that they did some testing with a fat nosed F-5 that showed such a configuration greatly reducing the shockwave.
In the truest sense of the word, if data for a given hash is on any computer, that computer can provide the data behind the hash.

If that data was found 1000 years from now, and entered into the system, the data would generate the same hash, and then be able to fulfill any hash requests.

Also, IPFS does data deduplication across blocks (chunks of 512KB - I believe), files, and directories. So if I share a source repo that uses someone else's repo, and they share it too, then my copy helps speed his files up as well.

There's an ongoing project to get OpenStreet Maps in IPFS, so that local areas have their own hash, all the way up to state, country, continent, and world. It's so the whol geographic repo could be shared amongst all, without the burden of storage on a single person or group.
Its answered downthread, but I'll tell you too and add some. The main issue is that the project started 10 years ago, and that is when the general specs were set for pretty much the whole bird. Minor upgrades are made, but you have many many teams working on many little things that have to be integrated, and that spec is 10 years old. I mean, our tech from 10 years ago is billions of times better than a Viking lander, but I get the sentiment.

For silicon devices, the VERY hard rad environment of inter-planetary space is pretty much instadeath. So you are forced to be 'dumb'. You can shield it, but that adds weight and heat issues. Redundancy is out, it just doubles/triples the weight, heat, and interfacing issues. You can use rad-hardened devices (best idea) but then you have to fab that silicon anew, and this is really expensive. Then you have to test all these things before you put them up there. So you need to put your device in a vacuum-rad chamber. Governments are not so hot on just having these rad sources laying about and letting a piece of silicon 'cook' next to a power station that is in use. So you do accelerated testing, aka, super radiation. I've been in those chambers before, it's scary. After the magic glow machines are turned off, you have to evac all the air as the O2 in the room has been turned into O3 and you can't breathe in there. The roaches in the corners are literally cooked and brittle. It's nuts. Unfortunately for your testing, this environment is more like the sun's corona than the Earth-Mars transit, so you have to take the testing with a grain of salt. Also your vac chamber is not nearly as good as real space. So everything is oxidized and hat messes up your analysis. You do the best you can, but we don't get many sample returns from outside the Earth's magnetic field to test against. NASA et al do a GREAT job, but they are dealing with very extreme jobs and we just don't have a lot of data about what we are dealing with. We can't do a lot of in situ tests.
No offense but you're wasting time. It doesn't matter if it's PDF vs doc vs whatever.

You _need_ to offer something very compelling (not the brochures / leave-behinds.. the service). You (usually) either need to take away pain or give them something of value. In what I sell, they need to leave that first meeting saying "holy shit... how do we get this in house / how do we get to use this now?". My best leave behind is references who are in the same space ;)

I have the same problem, and I've yet to find an acceptable solution.

Another problem I've encountered: functional CSS (such as Tachyons) is only good for minimal layout. I was recently converting a mobile+tablet+desktop PSD design to CSS with very complicated reordering rules (this <div> is full height on the right on desktop, floated bottom of the page on tablet, etc.) and all my elements had 20+ classes attached to them.

So I went back and converted regular 60+ lines of CSS. Still, for some reason, working with Tachyons was for some reason faster and "easier" to reason about.

I think it's a step in the right direction, but we're not there yet.
The trucking industry is huge (say 1.5 million truckers alone, plus rest stops etc), and it will largely have disappeared as a result of this. Uber may want drivers in the cab now, but when it's reliable enough, I imagine it makes sense to just have drop-off points for the last few miles.

In some sense it will be among the biggest economic transformations in recent history. There have been far bigger ones, but I can't think of one that has happened in the short timeframe expected of self-driving trucks. I don't think this point is controversial.

At the same time, I've been very curious to see the overall economic impact, especially with displacing such a huge percentage of the US workforce. Interestingly, there's already a shortage in truckers per wikipedia. I found this fascinating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trucking_industry_in_the_Unite...

I imagine that people going into trucking see the writing on the wall. It will put a lot of truckers out of business, but the turnover is already crazy high, with many truckers already leaving the business entirely.

This could be a very interesting case study on how to manage worker displacement effectively. I don't think anyone here is seriously advocating paying more money and lives for goods just to keep trucking jobs up (although more and more on HN one has to write 'defensively' to curb misinterpretation, i.e. I feel compelled to shout that I think this is a good idea). But it would be interesting to see where truckers are getting new jobs already, and whether those industries could use more. Are truckers leaving the industry going back into some other industrial job, back to school, unemployment?
