It's hard to tell. There's indications it's meant to work on any form factor, but at least initially their focus seemed to be on desktop-esque hardware like the Intel NUC, an Acer slate tablet that runs x64, etc. and then with the Raspberry Pi for ARM support. There hasn't yet been a clear indication that they're working on phone support for it, or when that would be.

It's still super early for Fuchsia though, so it's anyone's guess.
7 things to know about credit score aka FICO
I'm sorry if my words upset you. That said, it would be a shame to tell someone off if they bring up a good point (however brash). I used to teach this stuff, and I can tell you many of my students would end up being more confused with your visualization. I hope you can see that you've assumed some responsibility. That's all I can hope.
I have a suspicion that artisan products might also work better on Facebook in general, given the context that the users are in when they're on Facebook?
I love subs - they are awe-inspiring, amazing feats of engineering and terrifying weapons.

I highly recommend watching various documentaries on them. I think I have consumed every sub dock I could find online.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHIS1I9tv78 is a great one. Also, note that the engineering needed to make the Global Explorer was new and significant. I think that with the making of that ship, the CIA gained a lot of know-how for sea-ops, which likely played at least a minor factor into their ability to make requirements/requests into the design of the Jimmy Carter sub, which is largely believed to be the sub they use to splice undersea cables/or cut them...

Wouldn't it be better to have some sort of linter tool do this? Why create a more specific language construct when you already have one?
I would love to see that become a category. Smart cases.
A comment amounting to "that's how capitalism works, so tough shit!" is such a perfect example of the SV empathy vacuum that I almost think it must be satire.
I'm still not sure it's true that an inconsistent logic can prove anything. Certainly an inconsistent logic contains contradictory proofs, but I don't think every inconsistent logic can be used to "prove" any arbitrary theorem.
Holy crap that's creepy as hell.

From a technology perspective, there might be some clever stuff there, but probably not.

It's just a sign of things to come I think.
Yeah, I know there is a way to do it. I assume most people who are also just coming out of a Kickstarter will have a similar lack of experience with online marketing. I could be more clear about the purpose being to temper expectations.
What would you have it do?
To follow up on hibikir's comment word of mouth is key and have been to a few games cons in the UK and you do see people trying out alpha versions of games.

Ill put this story round my contacts.
I recall the story too: if I recall correctly, it was actually a branch of chemistry we had missed, not a math problem per se. The aliens stormed off the ships with muskets and we slaughtered 'em.
Good point, and for that matter, a Dark Pattern they could decide is a bad idea (especially if it's not authorized at a high enough level) would be a lot better than a regression to the mean, which is much harder if not impossible to fix.

I still have a higher trust in them than pretty much any other general on-line merchant (a finely honed BS detector and general suspicious nature about anything "too good to be true" makes a difference, plus watching my father get burned on an iPhone purchase on eBay where the merchant played eBay like a fiddle) ... but they're getting me to start to look at others, which is not what I think they want....
yeah! That's actually a really good point. I've never done it so no experience there. Which countries do you think would be a good starting point? I've seen people buy cars in Mexico, roadtripping all through the country and then re-selling it. Or motorbikes in Vietnam.

I like the idea because that makes you less dependent on cheap flights you need to plan ahead, plus you get to more remote (cooler) places.
There used to be a site that let you (voluntarily) do this. Can't find it now, and wouldn't be surprised if it shut down.

Anyway, it made the average computer sound like a jet engine. That, and the fact that the average computer is nearly useless compared to a dedicated mining rig, makes browser-based mining probably not worth it.
Since you clearly pit a lot of thought into these kinds of hash functions, I wonder what you thoughts are about the kind of hash functions used in theory? That is theoretically proven "k-independent" functions, such as polynomial hashing, multiply shift or tabulation hashing?
I think you actually can since the software runs on the bare metal (there's no OS or anything) and it uses standard ish chips. There have been plenty of Gameboy and NES clones in the past that ran retail games.
How common is it to add "exception macros"? Something like:

"error(handle, "could not open handle", free_something)"
Disrupt Cards
This was my sense regarding YC as well, but I wonder about other accelerators, since the vast majority of accelerated startups come out of something other than YC (and I realize that HN skews YC, but hope there are some folks with other expertise to share).

I realize that Bezos and many others have gotten funding after doing a friends/family round; I'm wondering if there are ever red flags associated with f/f rounds, such as if they happen after completing an accelerator.
Ask HN: What's your favorite monitor for dev work?
I use a 2016 13" MacBook Pro and I've been looking at the 21.5" 4k LG and 27" 5k LG Ultrafine displays that Apple sells, along with a Dell 27" Ultrasharp U2715H. I'm unsure what screen size/resolution would be best for dev work, as I've never used anything apart from laptop screens until now. What displays do y'all use?
It's reach, really. Even if we drop the price, the only people who'd will know about that are the people on our mailing list.

Getting picked up on HN really came out of the blue. It's the most people who we've been in front of since the Kickstarter campaign. You can't bank on that.
THE NEW TANNER FOX?
Not for the writer of this piece. The scores are presented as being dimensionless, but they aren't, and have different units, so they cannot be compared (what's more: 6 feet or 12 kilograms?)

http://www.mba.com/global/the-gmat-exam/gmat-exam-scores/you...: "Verbal and Quantitative scores are on a fixed scale and can be compared across all GMAT test administrations, but because they measure different constructs, they cannot be compared to each other."
2 things:

1) You almost certainly won't lose weight without changing your diet.

2) Heavy weight exercise is great for lots of things, but if your lower back is hurting it could also be you aren't limber enough in your lower back and upper legs. Stretching for your glutes/hamstrings/IT bands etc may provide more immediate relief.
Prefab is a struggle and why we specifically avoided it. For us it makes much more sense to focus on product and supply chain and partner with local builders to execute in the various markets.

Our system is built for speed and that is where we derive savings. Between our wall/roof system, MEP systems, and delivery method we can slash construction time 60%.

Happy to continue conversation on your experience.
Because, College Board.

I'm so glad I learned Lua before taking APCS, otherwise that class probably would have set me back 6 years.
My first thought is that it's a way to encourage a response.

The ellipsis also seems to soften the tone compared to a regular period.
How does a neo-Nazi end up with more karma than me on Hacker news?

You should be banned from here. Seriously. Advocating that Jews be "excluded if not eliminated from society" is hate speech.

It greatly disappoints me that the HN moderators apparently think it's okay to leave virulent anti-semitism unchecked.

I am Jewish. I have never been to Israel. America is my home. Why do you want to tear that away from me?
Yep, handmade probably does not mean "custom" or "bespoke" in this case, which means limiting the options presumably allows them to take advantage of economies of scale to lower the price compared to other options for handmade shoes.

I've never used the product from Markhors, it was just one example I was using for my point previously. I'm more the type of guy that either wears cheap sneakers or actual bespoke shoes, not much in-between.
The big question to me is not 'what does it signal?' The big question is do the friends and family really understand they are investing in a vehicle where the profits come from spreading risk across a portfolio of companies and all their eggs are in one basket.

Professional Venture Capital understands that and have sufficient capital to diversify their risk. It (hopefully) has the experience to project how much money a company is likely to actually need in order to have a chance at successful startup growth. It will tend to hard push the upside rather than protect against the downside more so than individual investors.

To me, the business decision should be a business decision. Which investors would you choose based on track record and the ability to add value?

Good luck.
Lol, it is objectively the "effect".

The feds fund rate has been set to near zero for almost 8 years. This is acts as the baseline cost of credit in our country and given our global financial stature, the world.
Just ran it. For 5,000 games:

Destroy: $750
Remove: $2,500 + costs to store it somewhere else.

Also, 5,000 games is a lot of games. Like >15 pallets.
Agreed, for this particular point it's less about small business vs. Google and more about small business vs. users. Google stepped in and saved a lot of users a lot of time and effort. I'm not sad that it's tougher for businesses to consume my time while I'm cleaning my inbox out, I can go over the promotional stuff when I actually want to.
Time Is Running Out for NTP
That's not my point at all. My point is that the crosshair is incorrectly aimed: it is not an industry that is failing at this, it is the way our social structure is formed and rewarded that is failing.

Technological progress may be an issue that contributes to this so-called empathy vacuum, but all industries that cause negative externalities (in cyclical or permanent unemployment, or pollution, or wealth disparity, etc) are just as much a problem.

If we want to have this debate, that's great. It needs to happen, especially as our economy ends up with an increasing human labor supply as it's automated away or sent to places where labor is cheaper. The track we are on now will likely end up with massive Gini coefficients worldwide, a ruling class and a noted underclass based upon who was able to achieve capital accumulation while their labor was still worth something.

The problem I have here is that the New Yorker isn't even going for this debate in this article. They are complaining about something and pointing a finger at but a sliver of an issue that they are also a part of.
It looks great! Are you willing to talk a bit how this is implemented? i.e. js stack, libraries etc.
Execution units, to be precise. Separate threads of execution are not involved, hardware or software.

One things that I think would enable the kind of thinking necessary to come up with new interfaces for exposing concepts is to have a library of existing patterns.

I have seen various books and resources that come close (Edward Tufte books for example) but I think there could be much more work done.

There seem to be quite a few books on mechanical motion that are basically an encyclopedia of patterns that can be used to create new devices but I haven't really seen much type of this work done for computer interfaces.

If anyone has any good references please share.
I did not write the post about Darwinism (that was user jlgaddis) nor did I interpret his/her comment to mean that there was no such line.

Meantime, since we are already having that debate, I am asking you, personally, to go on the record on where you as an individual think that line of demarcation should be. I am all for safety labeling (up to the point where there are so many safety warnings that their effectiveness drops) but I am also all for people being able to buy potentially dangerous products that can be used safely by following instructions and the use of the senses by a person of ordinary adult competence.

In other words, if a supermajority of adults selected via a statistically valid sampling method were to examine a commercial product and correctly infer what degree of danger it might present (based on the packaging, direct observation of the product, and general knowledge) then that's Good Enough.

I don't think that we need to build all our theories of product safety and liability around the least competent people in our society. That imposes a large opportunity cost on people who do take their responsibilities seriously but whose liberty is curtailed in the name of safeguarding people who can't or won't take responsibility.
This is one reason I do like the features of newer CPUs like amds Zen line with memory encryption. Combined with the iommu/vt-d features it should be possible to isolate a hardware device from reading all ram, just the buffers that it should be able to access. Thatll come with a performance hit (based on current hardware being used for VM gaming, maybe about 10%ish at worst) but it would be acceptable for security if that level of attack is something you want to guard against.
Hmm. I wonder if people would tune into a GIANT POLITICAL BONFIRE.
1) Very limited promotions system (one coupon code per order hard limit, limited options) - mitigated somewhat now with Shopify Pro and the script editor, but only somewhat.

2) No multiple currency support.

3) 100 variant limit per product (I've used a couple different ways around this in different stores, but none of them ideal).

Apps mitigate many of the other missing features and annoyances, but sometimes having to rely on apps is a tough pill to swallow (like needing to use Power Tools just to create smart collections with any kind of advanced rule set.)
You should automate that issue and have an autoformatter on every commit. Everything else is a waste of time
As someone who has made the jump to 3 from 2, I wish 2 would die ASAP. It's a pain to maintain backwards compatibility with my various projects and 3 is demonstrably better.
Good information.
This isn't answering your question but I think it is much more important for the parents and the people around the child to be interested in STEM than to buy STEM toys.
That first example reads like a horrible pun.
Spring Cloud Data Flow Updates for Spring Boot 1.4, Spring Cloud Camden
Thanks for the tip. I will look at that.
The compiler can look at more data to decide if something is valid, or can be optimized.

C++ is trying to add move semantics via templates, but can't get all the way to Rust's borrow checker that way.
I will be buying a copy of this game to support a fellow HN-er.

Cheers, mate! I hope you become very rich.

> It is amazing to me that the same people that dismiss "tobacco" or "soda industry" science/scientists have no problem accepting "government" science at face value.

When a scientist working at a lab in a tobacco company gets a result that puts tobacco in a bad light, the result likely won't get published.

When a scientist working at an academic lab gets government funding, and gets a result the government doesn't like, the result likely will get published.

That's a huge difference.

I feel like there are some specific results from behavioral genetics that you think would be controversial among Left-leaning people. Would you care to elaborate?
They're getting worse at many things while asking for more money.

Since we are otherwise treated the same, I and other existing members are essentially subsidizing that intro rate. For a system that, per my complaints above, is becoming worse rather than better while taking on those new customers.

Also per my original comment, keep the stuff you're already doing working and working well, before adding on the new stuff.

Maybe the new stuff attracts new customers. But the worse stuff is pissing me -- Mr. Retention -- off.
Yeah, I always used to use Python for this kind of thing - it offered easy ways of doing most interesting operations, made experimenting and chaining operations really easy, and it was easy to write my own helper functions if necessary.
This was my impression as well. But, from our graphs, you can see we didn't have much to work with in terms of advertising budget.
I'm sorry for OT, but the kano.me link does a strange thing I notice lots of websites started doing recently. The moment you move your mouse to close the window it creates a popup. Why, and how? I feel really naive asking this but do websites now track the pointer position?
lol interesting concept! Do you have something which is live?
Amazing. Travel is not about money nor time, it is about willing to know the world and share with the people we love
Have lived in the UK ('fresh' foods famously bad), LA, various parts of China, Bangkok, Sydney. Southwest China and Sydney have been the best for fresh food in terms of quality and variety. LA wasn't too bad.

Correction: RISC-V is an Open Standard.

Of course there will be both proprietary and open implementations of RISC-V.
There's the EM drive, maybe. Some recent discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12995125

If you can create trust out of electricty (ion drives also come to mind), then if you have nuclear power or fusion, things get interesting again in terms of propulsion.

To reach orbit, there are a bunch of interesting proposals: skyhooks (i.e. space elevator light), launch loops, railguns.
Exactly, we're very happy with Kickstarter.
this feels right to me.

"yes I have heard you, but I disagree with your point"

Something like:
"did you try it this way?"
"yeah, no that didn't work"
Yup. There's no ban on political content across the board. Which is why I specifically said "politically charged articles". I'm in no way suggesting flagging all political content. If you think I am, please let me know what gives you that impression and I'll work to be clearer in the future.

From the guidelines:

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon

Please avoid introducing classic flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say about them.

I think flagging politically charged submissions—particularly those that have shown themselves to lead to largely repetitive non-constructive flame wars—is consistent with the guidelines. That second quote is from the comment guidelines, but I think it's fair to apply the same standard to submissions as well.

Edit to add: Are there recent topics on HN that you think have been unnecessarily flagged? Some that you've found particularly useful?
Print and TV ads are probably worse and they are still there. The thing replacing them is online ads.
> "I used to work at this shop in 1995 or so...."

Dating the shelf stock via the "Video Fusion Version 1.5" seems to indicate it's from 1993. Of course I'm not sure how fast stock rotated through a reseller in Kuwait in the early 90s
I agree with those emphasizing that it needs to be fun and engaging before it can be anything else.

Lego has a great path to go from basic Lego up into programming and robotics. And Lego Technic is just great.

Lego -> Lego Technic -> Lego WeDo -> Mindstorm -> Scratch/ Raspberry Pi

For example I'm now helping my son "activate" his store-bought Lego castle sets by connecting Scratch programs to Lego Technic motors via the Lego WeDo USB hub. With that we can sense the cat walking by, automate machine gun fire, etc. The cat is really happy about that.
Facebook censors blasphemy (and many other things). Locally. For now
>the company has no business plan.

i'd not say so. Originally they tried to sell their tech to DoD (in 2012), and Mattis, a 4 star general back then, was the key figure in trying to push the deal through (no surprise that he ended on their board :). Given that he may become new defense secretary under Trump this old plan becomes new and shiny again. Also consider how FDA actions toward Theranos may be spun out in the new political regime as an example of egregious regulation overreach strangulating revolutionary innovations and entrepreneurship ...

So Theranos need to survive only until the January 21st.
why dont dns servers provide this capability? seems like they are the most centralized of all the online services.
It's all relative. In Des Moines it's outrageous (although still worth it!), but in the Bay Area or similar market it's a steal. Comparable homes out here can be 2-3x.

We did our fist home at $145K for 1200 sqft and can offer than again late next year. Margins are too slim to grow at that rate, re:Tesla.
Amazing. Travel shouldn't be about money, it is part of our education, to make us better, better for ourselves, for our family and for the world.
Snowden was right. It's turn key tyranny!
amb is a nondeterministic operator. It's a fun toy, although not terribly practical. It's usually implemented in terms of call/cc, a rare (and, as commonly implemented, expensive) function. CRuby implements it, JRuby doesn't.

It's not revelant to my main point, but I thought I'd have a bit of fun.
I ask as a user because I am not a member of that company.
It depends on the type of project. I've backed a number of projects for books by people who do it multiple times and where they clearly assume that most of their income will be the campaign, and that the ongoing sales will be slow, and that rely heavily on cross-promotion with others in the same niche. I think you basically need to set your aims so that it's worth doing for you from Kickstarter alone, and where any breakaway success afterwards is icing on the cake rather than necessary to make it worth your while.
It's a matter of degree, but to some extent, yes.

The conflation of experimentally verifiable science and observational science (and, even more so, social sciences) is the crux of the issue. This is not to say that observational or social sciences are useless, but that they are less authoritative and more open to confounding variables than experimental science. People use the results of the later as if they have the authority of the former.

It is quite useful rhetorically and, unfortunately, as is so often the case, good rhetoric wins.

What, do you hate science?
The man had recently put in a request to transfer to a different department, but was placed on an employee improvement plan, a step that can lead to termination if performance isn’t improved, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing company personnel matters.

PIPs are bullshit, and fundamentally degrading. Just tell people "Maybe it's your fault, maybe it's our fault - but either way, it's not working out", offer a (truly decent) severance, and move on.

(I know, I know, I know: "because laywers.")
