This is because a vanishingly small percentage of designers have truly, in their heart, accepted the web as a medium.

They'll sit lovingly with a bunch of dinged up old lead typesetting tools, positively jizz over imperfections in ink distribution, but try to talk to them about system fonts, box models, or free phones and their eyes glaze over and they drift off into their color calibrated RAW dreamland.

In schools they teach people to embrace media but that only applies to fetishized antique media.

They'll use half of the GPU to render CRT glow too, with 8-bit graphics, gush about material metaphors in their visual design, but they won't consider the material properties of the actual distribution medium for their work.

We still haven't seen a true modernist design movement in the digital age. Maybe very briefly for a year or two in the nineties when browsers were good enough to be interesting but not good enough to do anyrhing. It'll come eventually, but it's taking its sweet time.
Thanks - we went through a ton of different names, and almost all of them had some sort of collision. We try to mention GraphQL up front on all of the content to avoid extended confusion :]
My understanding was that the markets have a duty to provide equal access to information that would determine your decisions.

This is one of the reasons why companies often release their quarterly results after market close. It allows all relevant parties to be able to access the latest information before selling resumes.

If this wasn't the case, then users with the fastest connections would be able to process, and react to the data before others in the market had a chance to do so as well.
And this is part of why voters are so angry at establishment politicians. They've figured out that politicians have positions, not convictions. Many of the voters, on the other hand, actually have convictions, and want to vote for people that share those convictions.

This is what the Tea Party was about - people got tired of Republicans who were happy to vote for large government spending. Many Republicans quit voting for candidates who wore the "R" label but didn't have any actual convictions (at least, they voted against them in the primaries).

But I think in this election cycle, the anger is higher than it's been in my memory, partly because neither presidential candidate's convictions are what anybody wants.

Hillary doesn't have any convictions, except that she should be elected by any means necessary.

Trump has convictions, though they change from day to day, and many of them are convictions that an honorable man would be ashamed of having ever thought, let alone spoken aloud.

No matter if the predictions are correct or not. This is an clever way to look for startups to join as an early employee (if you want to do that is a different discussion).

@creator: i would also include the next round afterwards for more risk aware people. Alternatively you could look into size of funding vs team size.
The wealthy boss will always sell you on hard work being responsible for being where he is today. But who gains most from a hard working employee - the employee or the boss?
0 mention of wikileaks. NYT hasn't weighed in, had to fire a staff member for feeding HRC intel. In fact, there is virtually no mention that wikileaks is actively disclosing emails. One article indicating "voters already made up their minds". I think they are both scumbags, it's just that it is absurd that NYT isn't even trying to spin, just pretending it didn't happen.

I have been getting updates via a fucking uncharged fugitive seeking asylum from my country and reading updates via RT (Russian News). I feel sick to my stomach and I am very cynical.
Hm, feature wise VS is far ahead.

Not sure exactly how the Git integration is better? In addition to improved Git integration with the more recent VS releases there is also a GitHub extension.

VS also has multi-cursor support, if we are thinking of the same thing... editing more than one line simultaneously?

Besides, these two features you mention seem hardly to be of deciding factor, you would think something like code analysis, profiling, and better debugging (memory window, etc) would be of more importance.
But which party is going to spearhead allowing for more party choice?
This article seems fairly absurd, and probably is propaganda, given India's track record compared to the US regarding rocket design.

On the other hand, India's Mars Orbiter Mission has been the lowest cost successful Mars mission to date, so they are not exactly slouches.
Build Maintainable Systems with Hexagonal Architecture
Also if you currently don't plan on monetization anyways why not make it open source. This way everybody benefits. The current functionalities are way too limited. The biggest problem is the limited number of plans, which makes no sense. Planning is only useful when it's divided into small chunks. Lumping everything together into a big term does nothing at all. The current way it's set up, even after I finish a small task I can't free its color up for other plans to use. What's the point if all the finished tasks prevent new tasks from being added? Then I can no longer add new tasks if I don't remove any record about my past activities first? This looks absurd.
I would say that writing a "hidden" (by default) comment saying who is the author is stretching the "BY" too much...

I don't know what market they want, but I never heard mavic outside of a few web pages. On the other hand gopro is becoming synonymous with small and sturdy camera. Maybe mavic will end up buying the brand.
Huh, the title in the URL is less sensationalized than the actual headline: "gopro-trading-halted-as-company-misses-revenue-expectations-by-23"
68 slides! This must have been an epic or fast paced conference talk. Good points. I think the comments on FDE are spot on; it's almost always about compliance. And I'm reasonably comfortable with SSH access if, and only if, it uses SSH key authentication (no password auth) and that PermitRootLogin is turned off. A Bastion host is a good idea, but "never" is a bit strong.
And in some countries, we've got 4G in almost every cities.

At 15.99€ a month for 50GB (free, but reduced speed after that) too.
I guess the wild west of the web played out in the worst way possible. Because just like with the wild west, the bandits can outrun the lawman by slipping across borders.
Apache BVal 1.1.2 Released
That's different though. The tradeoff there is proxying all your internet traffic through Google servers.
Nice. The article somehow focuses entirely on a (primarily exaggerated) economic aspect of the new defense relationship.

This is pretty common in the US press, and leads many of the people inside the country both to evaluate criteria with highly theoretical economic dogmas and to assess their country as both apolitical and unstrategic.
Hm, interesting. Have you written about this anywhere?
I love Visual Studio Code for a strange reason:

I don't actually use it, but by existing and being good, it should force Sublime Text to up its game!
French here, living in Dijon, a regional major city, 2 hours from Paris. I live in city center, and I still only listen to downloaded content in my spotify app, because if I listen to it online while on the move, there's always a point when it will lag or just stop.

Providers tell the whole city is covered by 4g. In reality, as soon as you move, sometime you'll have it, sometime you won't. Friends report the same thing in other cities with other providers.
Yes I too am of the river people now. +1 for long queries and being able to comment out everything. 30 years SQL. bah!
you can't sell your assets on the exchange through a broker because you're a small chump.

you can sell your assets outside the marketplace just fine.

if they just allow orderbooks to get skewed more and more in one direction you just run head first into a potential macro crash and sometimes thats just a little more important than you wanting to unload your 60 bucks of stock.

And I'm pretty sure there's government regulation requiring them to do this.
Do you think the using of React as another big benefit ( since it is the cool kids framework right now ). Or this brings another challenge instead?
In addition to it, what are your's web stack of choice currently? ( I'm looking for new ideas for back end also )
Honestly, features & stability wise, MySQL is a toy compared to Postgresql. I still feel Postgresql does not have as big a market share as it could, mainly because of how difficult it is to pronounce it right. On the other hand, MySQL got away with a rather sweet name. But for any serious work, I would trust Postgres (there, I did it!!) more than any variant of MySQL.
> For example, as soon as gay marriage passed the 50% level of popularity, both parties switched position, saying they favored it to some degree.

Where are you getting that from? The Republican party platform explicitly condemns gay marriage and wants to ban it federally. [0]

The fact that they're willing to accept millions from a gay Republican is hardly evidence of a changing worldview.

Excited to be at USDS telling stories about how tech in government has already changed the lives of so many Americans.
– we invented Digital Hub concept
– PC as hub for all your digital assets
– contacts, calendars, bookmarks, photos, music, videos
– digital hub (center of our universe) is moving from PC to cloud

This was 5 years ago. Since then, iPad sales have declined and iPhone sales are flat. iCloud did _not_ become the consumer's single hub for all devices. Amazon Echo created a new device category and Siri did not take over the world. IoT is fragmented chaos. One can imagine that Jobs would have adjusted his 2011 strategy in response to the changing market.

If Jobs faced a choice of promoting "Apple PC as digital hub" or "non-Apple cloud(s) as aggregate digital hub", which would be better? Apple has thrived by integrating hardware and software. In the "cloud", this integration advantage is lost as Microsoft aggressively ports their apps to Azure cloud + iOS devices. Jobs could have read the writing on the cloud and repositioned the Mac as IoT digital hub and cloud cache, via macOS Sierra Server ($20 in the Mac App Store, but could use some love, http://www.apple.com/macos/server/).
or how many (and most "mega") companies make it hard to sue for anything.
Yes! It is our Duty. We, collectively, can change the way people experience Government services.
> DJI now says early Mavic Pro orders should be processed in “seven to eight weeks”

I was going to talk smack about getting my Mavic before GoPro shipped theirs, but now I'm just sad.
What a bizarre article. It has nothing to do with Airbnb, and everything to do with arbitration.

If your interest is Airbnb or discrimination then skip this article.

Try buying a car without agreeing to arbitration - you can't.

It's a problem. But Airbnb is not the right company to use to talk about it.
I'd add another advantage: The physicality of it all. That was what drew me to it. It's kind of related to your advantage #4 and advantage #2, but it's more than that.

The physical nature makes it easier (for me at least) to remember instinctively what does what. I've build my synth exactly how I want it... I've put module X right where I want it between module Y and module Z. Using it as often as I do, my muscle memory kicks in and my arms remember where things are. I can recognize most of the modules and controls by touch. It makes composing, experimenting and performing to be almost exactly the same process (at least the way I do it) - which is something I've been striving for for my entire musical life.

That said, I wouldn't actually recommend Eurorack to most people, simply because of the extreme price.
This debate isn't simple. I'll try to distill it as best I can.

Sure, some people only want to work with new things because they are novel. That's human nature.

However, that's not all of it. Many people strive for new tools not simply because they are new, but because they are better in some way. Of course, I understand that some people over-estimate how much better the "new" technology is, in practice. Transitions take time.

A side note: most "new" things are often based on combinations of "old" things. One of the big problems with some "new" tools isn't simply that they are "new" -- it has to do with their maturity. Applied person-hours, working on representative problems, helps shake out problems or edge cases with various technologies.

Take Clojure, for example. I reject the notion that calling it "new" or "old" is particularly useful. When it was released, it was based on many iterations of Lisp and the JVM. Clojure has been very stable.

Some people underestimate the importance of tooling and the ecosystem. Or they may underestimate integration; e.g. in the case of a new language, does it have a solid C or Java native interface?
2016 Mashup of EVERY HIT SONG
Any examples of unusual unsafe conditions in Kyiv?
I am of the mindset that the really interesting world is software synths. I love all the tools and sounds out there.

I use to buy chips for chip tune sound and own a few hardware synths. Now software rules for me.
First, the two major parties are so incredibly established that third parties barely exist. So, starting a third party that can compete with the other two is near impossible.

Second, since radio and television (media) started catering towards individual interests (echo chamber) people get so wrapped up in "Hillary/Trump/Somebody is so evil!" that they _don't_ want to experiment because it could cause the person they dislike to win.

Third, nobody cares about politics. We get ~40% turnout in midterm elections, ~60% for presidential. That's pitiful. Those who vote are those who _really_ like voting--those who are engaged.

To break the stranglehold you'd need:

- people to stop consuming sound bite media (Now This, Twitter) and tailored media (talk radio, some major news stations)

- better civic engagement at the local level (this is _the_ most important bit)

- better civic knowledge (the previous bullet point is predicated on this one)

- people willing to run for office as a third party _and_ not be a fringe weirdo
That's not editing. iMovie is only easy if you don't actually edit your videos--arrange, slice, add music and text, etc. Video editing is slow and difficult.
Think tanks, reframing issues? I'm thinking of Lakoff's work.
Agree, one can easily study the clone's features, price and customer reviews here:

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_12?url=search-alia...

They use the same SOC, camera sensors. There are tons of HD Videos comparison reviews on Youtube.
You get a fine if you're on the electoral roll but were not counted as "having voted". Since we have a private ballot system, you can write whatever you want on your ballot (so you can "abstain" by writing "fuck you all" on your ballot and it'll be considered an invalid vote). You don't get fined for placing an invalid vote, you just get fined if you don't show up (and didn't vote by post and so on).

We have many different ways of voting, so it's designed to be as easy as possible for people to vote (in contrast to what I've heard from Americans). The fines are not that bad for first-time offenders but they're large enough that it discourages people from not voting (the fine gets larger for subsequent offenders).

The rules for voting in elections and referendums are also the same (so the same fines apply).
>Note : I have an action camera, but it's from Garmin

Fwiw, I own a GoPro, but use Garmin's video editing software. Not only do I find it easier to whip up quick edits, but I can also overlay my Garmin Edge cycling data.
Please don't post baseless attacks on entire countries out of nowhere like this. That's not the kind of discussion this site is for.
ISRO scientists are paid standard government scale salaries for engineers and scientists. Their salaries are also at the same scale as bureaucrats, civil servants and military. Increased salaries can only happen if indian government is ready to increase salaries all over it's 5 million large workforce. Government salaries have the same percentage growth all across the workforce.

Hence I believe you are seriously mistaken about competitiveness of pay in ISRO. It is not feasible for the government to pay at the same scale as large multi national private companies to all it's workforce. India is just not rich enough.

Even top level bureaucrat jobs like "Cabinet Secretary to the Government of India" don't get paid a lot compared to what salaries are like in the West.
The HN crowd frequently compliments Stripe on their good looking, functional, well designed web pages. The Stripe home page is 75% web fonts (432k).
Sure. But why should we expect random percentages to have any relationship to reality?

(I would argue that random votes isn't related to reality either...)
You specifically state that they are adding value. Going up by labor and materials means value has been added.
> There is nothing impossible about leaving the EU.

There's nothing impossible about jumping off a cliff either, it's just inadvisable.

But of course, and more to the point of what the grandparent post was saying, if the promise was that you will happily land on a soft bed of £350 million in delicately crumpled £10 notes, then meeting that promise may be impossible.
Yes I do. As you say so I can comment out easily but not so much on with the 'as' and maintaining the river.
They have one niche product that is very expensive. It does not offer anything new or extraordinary to the experience other than what it should do: take video. Customers can get a product that is similar for 70% less price (from China cough). It's no surprise.
I had to open it in an incognito tab to read it. This seems to be the core message ...

> entertainment advertising is less about your brand and more about a feeling. Don’t describe what your product does, show us how it makes you feel. Don’t tell us about your brand’s core mission, align it with social movements that reflect it
For some sites I use a lot I do this as well. Mostly CSS fixes, for example widening GitHub's layout to some 1300px. But also removing annoying "design-crap", substituting fonts etc.
I agree completely with this. The spoiler effect has never been so real.
True. But if there were more than two viable parties, Mondale wouldn't have gotten 40% of the vote...
Good catch. Well, we know he's certainly not a wedding photographer or a pro photographer of any kind. Not because I'm defining "pro" arbitrarily, but because it's extremely unlikely people would pay thousands of dollars for photos to a guy taking snaps with his iPhone. Not to mention that iPhones don't trigger strobe lights. Nor telephoto effects, not a bazillion other things that MKIII's have. The only thing in common with someone who selects between an iPhone 7 and a MKIII and two MacBooks to sync them to is the fact that they can afford these.
In what way do you think that strategy is an inescapable consequence of capitalism?
> I mean honestly how is it possible that of the 300 million people spread across one of the largest (geographical) countries in the world and one of the most diverse populations on the world, exactly half want one person to represent them, and exactly half want one other person to represent them.

They don't; just like the article says, it's an effect of the first-past-the-post election model. Two strong parties emerge out of that.

Not sure why some people consider the Democratic party "extreme". They most definitely seem like a moderate party. The Republican party, well, they're just incredibly laser focused on cutting taxes on the rich.
Winding down a software startup. What are the right things to focus on?
I work for a software startup that ran out of runway. Our execs laid off most of the dev team but asked me to stay behind with one of the engineers to help "wind down" the company and sell the product to a bigger company.

For people who sold their products to bigger companies, or people on the other end who have integrated purchased code into their products, which things should I be focusing on? Which things are a waste of time?

A short list we worked up...

- Improving unit testing coverage
- Polishing user-facing documentation
- Cleaning up our JIRA tickets (there are a lot of old ones in there that we know to ignore but somebody new might not)
- Making sure manual test cases are well-documented
- Notifying existing customers
> If you have to use a dongle, you'll for damned sure make sure the next monitor you buy doesn't require a dongle.

I have to use a dongle. I don't care if the next one requires it or not, because I already have it.
I'm not convinced that GoPro is unusually affected by #2 but resale values seem relatively strong, so maybe to some degree.

There's also more competition.

I'm inclined to think point 1 is significant though. This seems like one of those products/product categories that was a hot ticket for a while. Then most people who bought them realized that they didn't actually jump off cliffs and, after the 10th time, the video of them going down an intermediate ski run was sorta boring and not really worth the trouble to make. So, like many fads, it didn't go away but it wasn't a must-have gadget for the would-be daredevil (or those who wanted to think of themselves in those terms).

Eating also takes time and breaks up people's days. So should not eat?

Some of the debate I'm seeing here is lacking synthesis of the tradeoffs. First, getting people to communicate is essential (a collective activity). Second, giving individuals time to work productively is essential. Some work is done best solo, some is done best collaboratively. The key is intelligently striking a balance.
