How many companies have started without x.com that are now huge? Tesla was TeslaMotors.com before it was Tesla.com, Square was SquareUp.com before it was Square.com, DataDog was Datadoghq.com before it was Datadog.com; I can keep going.. (yes, they're still .com's, but you wouldn't consider datadoghq.com investable. In all likelyhood, Datadog only used that name because it was a $9 registration.)

The domains didn't make them succeed.

I mean sure, if you're going to invest in domains, I'm not going to argue that buying turtle.com for $9 is a good idea, but those days are long gone. Anything that's dropped or available now probably isn't going to be worth anything; unless you're paying $8k on NameJet and flipping for $10k.
I once wrote a python tool to diff terms of service, and I had a domain name though I honestly don't remember what it was. If you would like to discuss collaborating, my email address at gmail is the same username that I have here.

just wondering why Mongo is considered a part of "JS". Is it because of the MEAN stack?
Oh wow. Yeah, the laws here in the US are not like a lot of other places except maybe Australia. All of our states really are nations in their own sense that then submit certain rights and responsibilities to the federal government. Each state has it's own "army" too (we call it a national guard, again it's weird). When a disagreement between laws happens, which really is pretty often, like daily, then you go to the courts and typically the supreme court if things are really strange and complicated. For other people from other countries, it is a pretty weird system, we know.

Umm, you may want to do some research on this stuff, as a HN comment is not even going to come close to covering all the important topics, and there are a lot of them.

Essentially, the way it work in the US is that each state will do whatever the hell it wants to do until the Federal government forces them to stop, usually via some sort of money method, but occasionally via the military (bleeding Kansas, civil war, civil rights movement, etc). Our government works because we all hate each others' guts, but we hate equally. Most Americans are very happy/disgusted with the system, typically both at the same time. Again, we know it's strange.
OK, so how do you store your model? In analog or digital format? If it's digital you might have to convert the analog signals into digital, with all the constraints involved with such a conversion. Also when you replay your model to process some data, you need to convert back from digital to analog.

Please correct me if I misunderstood your point.

Otherwise you might need to clarify your idea a bit more.
I have a 2013 MBP and mu wife a cheap 14" Dell bought around the same time. Fun fact: using my Samsung TV as a second display didn't work in MBP running Mavericks and worked in the Dell running Win 7. After I upgraded to Yosemite/Win10 things got inverted and now I have to stop coding in order my wife can watch Netflix in the TV with her girlfriends...

Are they? From reading it I'm not certain exactly what Basic level reports - seems like a lot.
The test is factual.

The fact that turning off caching triggered a browser bug is not consumer reports problem nor do they have an obligation to figure out why. They exist to report on existing things even if they have bugs.

The idea that battery life for a browsing workload should be tested from cached sites is silly, as is the idea that not using a check box on the menu makes them out to get Apple.

> This is a trend that I feel is going to catch on

This has been pretty standard practice in the boring ol' enterprise for at least 10 or 15 years.

Java has Checkstyle, with format-on-save support for IntelliJ, Eclipse, and NetBeans at the very least. Visual Studio supports this for all of the .NET languages. Obviously, Golang has `go fmt`. Etc.

Not to be snarky, but whenever a bold new trend seems to be really "catching on"... it's almost always a rehash of something that the enterprise was doing back in the 90's, or academic researchers were writing papers about back in the 70's. The only things that ever really change in this industry are: (1) solutions that were once impractical on old hardware become practical on newer hardware, and (2) solutions that were over-engineered in their original form come back in more user-friendly simplified forms.

I think a layman, at least in the US and countries that define race in similar ways as it is defined in America, would consider Khoisan and Bantu people the same race (black), even if they knew they were different groups. African Americans in the US often look different but are all considered "black".
I wish there were some representative samples linked from this. Based on the description, I don't think I'd be able to distinguish Black Metal from Death Metal.

Also, metal is an incredibly varied genre. If you think you don't like metal, I'd be happy to recommend a couple of different sample songs and see if any of them catch your fancy and change your mind.
> The Apple Watch was born out of Jobs' frustration with the state of data sharing in patient-doctor relationships.

I didn't know that, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the watch would be introduced in the state/form it has been, or even that it would see the daylight at all.

Not a theory person, so I didn't quite follow whether or to what extent deep learning has made breakthrough on that front.

But at this moment, we are far from done playing with what we already discovered. Even as a black box, deep learning already cracked many traditional tasks to near/above human performance, and enables many application that is simply not possible before.

So, I guess we are going to more papers to come in the following years until no low-hanging fruits left.
The second you compile one package to get any of those boxes to work, for me, the pro-linux box argument is negated. Particularly for work machines, I don't have time to compile and install just to get my box up and running. Mac worked for me for this reason, I presume the reasons are the same for many. You like the freedom and power your boxes allot you, I like the simple operation of the mac. My problem is Macs are quickly becoming more work with all of there services and issues. When I start having to search for drivers online I might consider switching to Linux, but this won't be a cure all, because I deal too much in graphics.
They've always said that their goal is to get the maximum coverage for the leaks. That's not unfair, or biased, and it's exactly why leakers pick them rather than just releasing the information themselves.

Can you show that they do different things based on the content of the leaks, or the identity of the leaker? Not that having a bias is a crime, even if you could prove it.

And yet he's entitled to an opinion, and to share any information he has with others, to influence their opinion.

I was drinking at least a fifth (750ml) of 40% abv spirits every day, doing at least 250mg+ oxy or equivalent in heroin, or smoking a gram or more of weed a day. Alcohol and opiates are physically addictive with very real withdrawal symptoms. Falling asleep was somewhat difficult for a couple days when I ran out of weed. Marijuana is not physically addictive.

I don't doubt that significant progess has been made in the last five or so years. Meta papers just make me curious given my past experience: the field had ended up with so many tunable parameters that no one understood, it gave rise to whole new papers to 'learn' some arbitrary set of those parameters by a different method. The dirty secret was you were simply adding more parameters. Thus the real issue was the research field had stalled and hit a temporary dead end.
Excellent! Super useful and works perfectly.
Why would they need to decrypt it? Surely it would be easier to reverse whatever is encrypting it and dump it out in the clear? Perhaps the EFF could request that Microsoft open source or otherwise explain the process that produces the data.

I like the idea of using expiring domain names to generate business ideas (especially domain names that are fetching a good price).

But what if, instead of buying the domain name, you... didn't buy it? What if, instead of dropping $5K on an exact match, you spent $10 on a B+ domain name, where you can set up a landing page to see if there's interest in the business idea you've generated?

That way, if you are getting signups, or even actual customers, then you try to get a better domain name; but if not, you're not out $5K.

Or am I missing something? I guess you can still sell the domain if you don't end up doing something with it, but what if it declines in value?

The paper you linked to doesn't really show that "chronic stress causes depression", though.

The key sentence in the abstract, I think, is this:

Here we provide an overview of the evidence that chronic stress, which can precipitate or exacerbate depression, disrupts neuroplasticity, while antidepressant treatment produces opposing effects and can enhance neuroplasticity.

The paper states that stress "contribute[s] to the development of major depression in susceptible individuals", as is well known.
It also states that chronic stress correlates with features that are associated with major depressive disorder.

Notice there not being any mention of a causal relationship here.
I use Emacs. I don't completely like it, but I haven't found anything better out there.

IBM for one is converting their laptops to mostly Macs, claiming to calls to support is way down compared with users of PCs (e.g., look at total cost of ownership -- TCO). IBM has software which helps to deploy Macs in the Enterprise.

The integration of Macs/ Mac OS with the iPhone / iPad eco-system is helpful as well. I use iMessage a lot on my Mac.

For those that need it, tech support is readily available in Apple stores.
Sure, the volume is definitely in the low end. But the cost difference has always been there, and they used to have higher market share.

They're losing 2 things:

1. Exclusivity of really good hardware and software. They're still among the best in hardware, but a nice 'ultrabook' (like a Surface Book, XPS 13, or X1 Carbon) running Windows 10 is comparable to a Mac in ways that an Inspiron 6400 running Windows XP or Vista just wasn't comparable to a 2007 Macbook Pro running OS X 10.5.

2. The dedication of the high end. The developers on this site are a tiny market, for certain. But we're the people our families and friends go to for computer questions (for better or for worse). The artists and especially the musicians and videographers which the Mac Pro used to attract are more trendsetters. If enough high schoolers watch their favorite Youtubers editing on their Mac Pros, and ask their uncle to look up from reading HN on his Macbook Pro to recommend a laptop, that effect can have a powerful impact on the low end.
Making money isn't a questionable motivation, it's a biased one.

Just like "discount provided for an honest review" on Amazon, stuffing keywords in your URL for affiliate traffic is a very clear bias.

It's shouting "I profit from traffic, so I want to get you here by all means necessary" — this is less true as algorithms become more intelligent, but it's been my experience since the advent of the internet.

Now, of course — that's not always true. Some great sites have also relied on keywords and affiliate revenue... but I'd wager that a reputable site with a keyword based URL and affiliate links is a one in a million phenomenon (thenightlight.com is the best example I can think of)

tl;dr As an internet user I've been trained to equate all keyword stuffing with spam. It's like "banner blindness" but for keywords.
It absolutely can be denied that "I'm switching away from Apple" over this sort of stuff is a newly encountered sentiment.
I can see where you're coming from but I disagree. In that case you are testing the battery hardware, while the software actually makes a big difference.

Say you have two phones: one with crap software, and one from a company that spends time on writing proper, efficient software. If you run a stress benchmark, they will both be running at 100% CPU all the time and you'll only be measuring how much mAh is in the battery divided by how much power the CPU draws. All of this is information is already available in the product specification.

The only reason my Galaxy Note 2's battery life is any good (still the original battery which is, what, 5 years old now?) is because I did software tweaks to keep it from holding wake locks when apps are inactive.

Of course it did - that's what thoughts are.
You could do this in C with something like libdill as they give you a handle to a coroutine. All you need to do then is create a state_t that holds the coroutine reference managing the object, the channels for it, and all of the state needed for the computation. During saving you prune dead and save only the computation state. During loading you recreate all of your Objects.

It wouldn't be all that slow and I think it would get over most of the overhead in some implementations I've seen of UI/Interaction code for games.
But let's not forget all the other subgenres, as beautifully illustrated at www.mapofmetal.com

Well they can do banking, but just inside the state only. You still have to buy lightbulbs and doormats as a business, so you still need a bank to help keep the money and help deal with normal business stuff. It's just that you can't transfer the money out of the state, as it's considered illegal federally. Unless of course there is some agreement with the other state that says they you can, but that has not happened yet. We do have that kinda thing with some firearms. Utah and Arizona have an agreement that a concealed carry in one state is good in the other one too, so you can just walk across the border and not be in legal hot water. That agreement is not true for all the other neighboring states.
I think the comment you mention makes perfect sense within the rest of its context. It's saying the rule for determining freshness is "response_is_fresh = (freshness_lifetime > current_age)", however that's not always the case. And looking at the code, you can see it returns true early if lifetime is equal to a new TimeDelta.

The GetFreshnessLifetime function below it then covers the additional cases where it returns that. Such as the headers being set to not cache, or the expiry time being earlier than the response's time (or current time if none is provided).

I think it also makes sense to assume the comment is letting us know that just because HttpResponseHeaders::RequiresValidation returns false, that doesn't mean that's the only thing that can make it require/not require a re-fetch.

> There's even a line (1019) where they divide by 10 but don't explain why they do it. That's what I personally would comment.

This is covered near the head of the function, line 951. Using a constant such as heuristic_scalar instead of simply using '10' would be more readable though.
Possibly because of JSON as the storage format.
In Canada our universal healthcare doesn't cover dental issues, and even private insurance that most people would have through work only cover what is essentially considered "necessary". I think an impant is probably considered a luxury and certainly wouldn't be covered through insurance.

> I don't think I'd be able to distinguish Black Metal from Death Metal

If the band is wearing black and white makeup on their face and looks ridiculous, then it's black metal.
Great overall but the omission of "Death" (the band) in death metal is a mystery to me. Death was a great influence not just in death metal but metal in general and defined the genre. They were impeccable musicians and brilliant virtuosos. I think any song from Death's early albums is a much better example of the music's "sound" than anything else.
Yeah, Amsterdam is very safe. But there has been an influx of pickpockets in Amsterdam as well as many other cities. Even cities like Utrecht (close to Amsterdam, but still a relatively small town) seem to have significantly more beggars and homeless these days. I also noticed an increase of beggars in the trains, leaving notes and packs of gum or whatnot at every table in the cabin.

It worries me slightly, not because I'm bothered by it but because I can imagine it having significant effect on the rise of populism.
I tell myself that every time. Without them I would be lost, so I try and make it up to them in the periods I can.

What you're talking about reminds me of those tree diagrams for Rock music. I always found those helpful in terms of understanding the relationship between various subgenres.

I did a quick google and found this:

For reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting

"Gaslighting or gas-lighting is a form of manipulation through persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying in an attempt to destabilize and delegitimize a target."

There's a clear difference between that and calling out (EDIT for clarification: what I believe to be) incorrect information, and my admittedly-biased opinion is that my previous two comments in response to your own are squarely in the latter camp versus the former. I'd also hardly call one or two comments "persistent", though - again - my viewpoint is obviously biased in my favor.

I'll admit that pulling a [citation needed] was excessively snarky, though. I'm sorry. I ought to know better than to be a jerk, no matter how right I think I am.

----

With that said, "just Google it" (and similar approaches, like linking to a search engine query or some snarky wrapper thereof) is a very poor rhetorical technique in general; as I've already demonstrated, it's not guaranteed to actually prove one's point, and it reeks of either or both of two hidden meanings:

1. "I don't really care enough about the topic to give a meaningful citation, so I'm just going to tell the other party to find citations oneself"

2. "I don't actually have any source for the information I've provided (maybe I did once upon a time, but I sure don't anymore), so I'm going to tell the other party to 'just Google it' and hope that said other party is somehow impressed by the number of search results regardless of the sites in question or what the linked pages actually say"

Thus, it's generally a good idea to avoid those potential hidden meanings and just provide an actual source.
It was literally the same issue in 1996. California legalized medical marijuana in spite of the federal government criminalizing it. The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government won over states' rights.
Metal is a fairly broad group of genres, I'd suggest there's something in it for everyone.

Just for fun, I'd be interested in hearing some recommendations. I'll start with one, this is The Space For This by Cynic, I'd guess you could call this melodic tech death metal, but as Zappa said, talking about music is like fishing about architecture, just see if you like it!

This makes me think of the premise behind Excel, and Access: provide a way for (mostly) non-programmers a nice wizard like tool to analyze data. Of course, the (painful) shortcomings of such tools are known all too well. Hope this Darpa project fares better. On the plus side it democratizes access to a technology, the good and the bad.

The article sounds like they're not selling drugs on the street. That wasn't my experience when I visited Amsterdam.

On certain streets every couple of hundred feet there was some pusher asking if I wanted drugs. By the third day or so I was getting really annoyed with them. I was also offered drugs in a couple of nightclubs that I visited. I don't ever remember visiting a place where the drug sellers were so aggressive.

It's a very beautiful city and I recommended visiting. The people were friendly, the food fabulous and I would like to get back there some day.
