Ask HN: Ask new users for email, or email and pw, or email, username, and pw?
Currently trying to launch a new web app. I'm a bit torn between the 3 examples.

Basecamp asks for just email, then if you abandon during the next step they send you a email with your account url that replaces your name with email.

DigitalOcean asks for email and password

Github asks for email, username, and password.

I know the answer is "it depends" but I'm more so looking for general explanations on which would be best and why.
Facebook does gradual releases. One can guess this is available only in the US (or even just a part of the US) for now.

Subordinate != someone lower in org chart that does not report to you, so no, its not statistically likely.
I'm guessing lessons won't be learned here until this happens out of warranty. Headphones shouldn't be this complicated.
Mennonites, Amish etc. are 'intentional' and have in reality fairly 'anti capitalist' ideals (though not framed in those terms).

I know it's not the authors intent - but they are similar and should be a basis of comparison to grasping why some work and some don't.

These traditional communities are highly authoritarian (as some hippie communities often are), but they're maybe 'culturally authoritative' instead of individualistically. By that I mean - social or religious orthodoxy 'sets the rules' as opposed to 'some guys word' or a 'loosely agreed upon set of rules with little foundation'. At least in the former, there's a degree of objectivity, however good or bad you may judge those rules to be. In short - very strongly traditional/culturally conservative mindset helps to define a set of behaviours and attitudes that people stick with, and as long as they do, it keeps going.

We have many near my hometown, very pleasant people. I'm sometimes jealous and wish I could chill with them for a few months.

I admire your dedication to escaping your strings.
My feelings are hurt? About what, and how would that even be relevant if it were true? I "high-jacked" the thread that I was part of before you even showed up? Come on. This is you desperately trying to criticize me personally because you cannot defend your own claims.

Your 40% stat is made up and you're trying to assert it as a fact and argue semantics instead. No. You don't get to descend into pedantry about the definition of "normal" when your underlying premise is based on imaginary data.

You're also making a false equivalency between what many men (supposedly) want and what actually happens. Even if 40% of men want stay-at-home wives, that doesn't mean stay-at-home wives (or financially dependent wives, or whatever your current slightly-changed claim is) are the norm. I bet far greater than 40% of men want to win the lottery and yet winning the lottery is decidedly not the norm.

I know, you're going to come in and say this is still not your point. I don't think you actually know what your point is. You've made claims ranging from most men wanting stay-at-home wives to "the majority of women" being "financially dependent on their husbands". You've stated that in "most marriages" wives don't have careers and just "work when they can" and you've claimed that "religious and conservative men account for the majority of men". My point is you have a bunch of preconceived ideas that are not based on fact and in many cases are provably wrong.

This might be Stockholm syndrome, but I'm fairly happy with the 1960s-tech TNIO-550B (turbo-normalized, fuel-injected 550 cubic inch 6 cylinder opposed [boxer] engine) that powers my A36. The only significant downside is that it requires 100 octane fuel and the only certified option in the US right now contains tetraethyl lead(TEL).

There are several companies making unleaded fuel undergoing certification testing right now. It's not clear which one (if any) will "win", but I have high hopes that one of them will.

In terms of efficiency, that airplane does >200mph at better than 15mpg. That's not too bad, IMO. Better engine management tech would get me an easier workload as a pilot, but I don't expect it would yield meaningfully more power or efficiency, unless you were to raise the compression ratio (which typically requires higher octane fuel, and existing 100LL fuel is already pushing it, with a rich detonation performance of roughly 130 octane due to the benefits of TEL)
That was my second thought. My first thought was, doesn't Time Machine already exist?
Also, stories like that are always a good reminder of the pitfalls of "jury nullification"...

Aircraft piston engine efficiency is actually quite similar (measured in brake specific fuel consumption) to modern auto engines. The Lycoming O-320 in a Cessna 172 burns 280 g/kWh. Modern auto engines like the EcoBoost burn not much less -- ~250 g/kWh. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_specific_fuel_consumptio....

Moreover, aircraft engines like the O-320 can run for hours at continuous max power output. Good luck doing that with a car engine.

Car engines absolutely demolish aircraft engines on emissions, though. They have O2 sensors, computer-controlled ignition systems, and catalytic converters, whereas aircraft piston engines have fixed ignition timing and burn extremely rich of peak (meaning massive emissions) at takeoff power. And on top of that, while little engines like the O-320 can burn ethanol-free autogas, the big piston engines like a Continental IO-550 require leaded fuel, adding another pollutant to the mix.
It sounds like this research involves somatic gene transfer, in which the change to the genome is not passed on to children:

Gene transfer can be targeted to somatic (body) or germ (egg and sperm) cells. In somatic gene transfer the recipient's genome is changed, but the change is not passed on to the next generation. In germline gene transfer, the parents' egg and sperm cells are changed with the goal of passing on the changes to their offspring.

The expected average for a straight guess with absolutely zero exposure to the material would still be slightly positive. If nothing else, there's intuition and ingenuity, which place a person just a touch above a truly random guess-generating-machine.

Shouldn't the leaded fuel make the engine less prone to detonation and cylinder cracking? Also how do you tune carburetors on an airplane? Do you target the cruising altitude of the aircraft or above that altitude maybe?
Germany 'imported' migrants by making it well-known around the world that they'd accept anyone who claimed to be from Syria. This message was heard by traffickers who passed it on to their victims by claiming they'd be welcomed with open arms by Merkel. Those victims - or the family of the victims who sent one of their sons to serve as 'anchor' - paid large sums to the traffickers to smuggle them into the Schengen zone, from where they could make their way into Germany or Sweden.

Who claimed that Germany 'imported millions of illiterate people from Afghanistan'? I do not see that claim anywhere but in your last message.

Bringing up Goebbels in a politically tainted discussion is counterproductive unless there is a clear cause to do so. In this case there is no such cause.

Making claims of something being 'the usual tactics by the right wing propaganda' is even less helpful as all it does is polarise the discussion. Leave out the labels, the epithets, stop comparing with Nazi tactics. If you don't think you can 'win' without resorting to such means there is a good chance you don't have anything useful to add to the discussion.

Interesting project, but so many design problems with the approach to involve users.

Use OCR first, then use humans to verify.

Next, present a task right up front that anyone can help with -- draw people right in. Don't make users "look for work" and minimize/eliminate the need for training.

For example: "If there's a date shown, enter it here ______" (with an option for "no date").

Or, "Correct this text as it appears on the card: ________"

Or, "Is there an attribution/credit mentioned? If so, enter it here ____________________"

etc.
Are there any specific concerns with the methodology? I didn't see any mention of that in the first link.
I should clarify - that's in the basement with just a few walls and still underground (in an inner-ring suburb). We also don't have a cordless phone, satellite, or other typical 2.4 Ghz devices that cause much interference (besides a few older wifi devices on the 802.11g network).

If you're in a more urban environment, apartment buildings, or have plaster or other types of walls (mine are drywall and studs), you're luck will go down considerably.
I was having similar behavior with my LG HBS800.. with my AirPods I can go almost anywhere in my house. The LGs would drop out as soon as I went around a wall corner - and sometimes dropped out when walking.

The LGs are the neckband variety, I guess that right on top of a water sack is the wrong place to sit the receiver and out the side of your ear isn't bad.

I never played the original, but I can describe how this one plays. You touch to move Neku around during exploration and your partner usually follows unless they're running off for plot reasons. During combat you can tap enemies to make Shiki attack them, or swipe downward to make Joshua attack them, etc -- each partner seems to have a different gesture, and if that gesture matches one of your pin's gestures you'll end up doing both attacks at once, which helps build sync. During the golden bat boss battle the screen would scroll upward to Shiki when you had to uncover the lights.

FWIW, I once had a faulty spark plug in one cylinder in a Cessna 172 in Ondangwa, Namibia (and no, "burning it off" by running the engine lean on full throttle didn't fix it). So, I flew back to maintenance in Windhoek on the other spark plug, using IFR ("I follow roads") in case the other gave up (which it didn't).
Yeah, I previously had a different LG headset, and it had major issues depending on my orientation towards my computer; it seems the AirPods are more optimally located on the body for a clear signal, or maybe the antennae are just that much better.

> - Ask an Indian if he understands something, he'll always answer "Yes" even if he doesn't understand it.

That has absolutely been my experience. After so many instances where I found out later they had actually no clue about the thing they claimed to fully understand, I started to follow up with questions like, "OK, now explain to me how you're going to proceed," or "just to make sure we're on the same page, explain to me what ____ is and how it works." Not to embarrass them or anything, just to find out if they were being truthful, which often they weren't.

- Indians will not admit fault or mistakes. They seem to take it as a personal attack when you critique their work, rather than take it a suggestion for improvement.

I've seen this in members of all ethnic groups I've worked with, but I've found it to be quite common among Indian developers.

One time a rush bug-fix ended up letting a showstopper regression bug get into production. (The getting into production part was entirely my fault.) The dev was calling (Java) toString() on a value that had just been read from a nullable column of a relational database, without null-checking it first. When I asked him, "do you understand why you can't do this?", he would not admit any error, instead arguing "that column should not have been allowed to contain nulls." (The table/column in question predated his presence on the team by years.)

The answer I would have preferred to have gotten would have been something like, "OMG, I can't believe I did something so stupid, I absolutely DO understand what I did wrong and I'll make sure it never happens again." I don't, after all, expect people to make zero mistakes. I just want them to own up to them and hopefully learn something from them.

That's just one particularly egregious example out of many I've witnessed over the years.
gcc already has frontends (GIMPLE), backends (LTO and HSAIL) and plugins (DragonEgg) that do this, so you've had nothing to worry about for like five years now.
Great article, a few people have complained about drop-outs that others are not seeing - I wonder if this is a semi-common problem?
All slow flight training must be done at a safe altitude. The emphasis on slow flight is familiarity with aircraft handling near stall speed, intentionally stalling it so you can practice proper recovery. There is already a failure if you stall, and then there's a second failure if you don't immediately recover. A stall spin at low altitude requires three failures: stall, stalling at low altitude, improper recovery which then leads to entering the spin (one wing with more developed stall condition than the other).
Whoever that competitor is, you should publically blast them assuming you have the proof you say. I'd make it my life's work to call them out as often as possible if I were you. People who operate business like this, need to be called out and blacklisted.
I would assume Facebook has a built in case for satire. Also if they're using machine learning to filter news then I'm also sure satire has a strong signature. At least the Onion which is very in your face satire.
Is the closer C family of languages really reasonable for the web?
Engine manufacturers typically specify a TBO -- Time Before Overhaul, which is the number of hours in service an engine can run before it needs to be torn down, inspected, and overhauled according to the manufacturer's procedure.

For the most part, commercial operators must adhere to these recommended times, but aircraft operated under FAR Part 91 (roughly, those that aren't used for commercial transportation) aren't required to follow the TBO recommendation. You can run it as long as you want.

In practice, most operators do follow those guidelines. I've never heard of any engine doing much more than 2x the TBO before requiring major overhaul. And you'll often need various repairs to cylinders and engine accessories along the way.

Interestingly, manufacturers also specify calendar time limits on TBO, but private operators commonly ignore these. Lots of airplanes only fly 25 hours or so a year.
There's a big difference between just showing a bucketed Fourier transform of the whole audible spectrum, and showing a high-resolution, log-scale, musically-informed visualization of the part that can be heard as musical notes.
Speaking of tedious, here is my nitpick ;)

As I was scrolling I stopped to read the little messages about how empty stuff was, etc. Which kind of distorted my view of how far apart things actually were, as my scrolling slowed as I stopped to read them.

Other than that, really cool.

It might even help if Facebook had media accounts categorize (and clearly indicated the category of) posts. That way we could just point and laugh at people sharing satire or humor and claiming it as news.
I have my baptism flight a month ago in a 152. The instructor was worried because he couldn't fully move the wheel back because of my knees, then I tried another position and he couldn't press the pedals. It took us a while to find a position for my legs, but I didn't feel safe about this until we landed.

I am tall 1.90m (6'3"). I want to take classes further but I think I should find another plane.

Note: I used a Fiat 600 for like 6 months. I think the 152 is smaller inside.

You should try PureScript! I recently started using it and I've been very pleased with the language.

- the language has all the features I like about and regularly use in Haskell, but without laziness

- the editor tooling is amazing; it Just Works™ in Vim.

- the only work you have to do to use JavaScript libraries is annotate the types of the functions you want to use

It's really nice, and I'd definitely recommend you give it a look.
Wow, that article taught me that our office is probably using the wrong setup for optimal VoIP performance. When I started, I bought us an Asus RT-N66U to replace the ancient 802.11g router that was powering the 5 computers, 4 smartphones, 3 ethernet VoIP phones and 1 printer. Fast forward two years and now we have 12 computers on wifi using soft phones, 3 engineering rigs on ethernet, 11 smart phones, and that lonely printer.

I'm now thinking that our occasional VoIP issues probably aren't Time Warner (er, "Spectrum," whatever)'s fault, but might be caused by overwhelming the physical capabilities of our router.

So what sort of hardware should I plead with our CEO to let me purchase? Is there any way I can test, calculate, or prove that upgrading the infrastructure will prevent the operational staff from saying "Hello..? Hello..? Can you hear me?" on a phone call?

It sounds like, from hopping over to the linked CNet article, that maybe putting another router with the same network name and password, hardwired into the opposite corner from the existing router, would let us split the load across the office. But the end of Anand's article says I should throw up my hands and quit because the back room where a new router would go can still hear the original Asus transmitting loud and clear, so client devices would still have delays caused by picking up other networks.
Won't people just mark disputed to stories and articles they don't agree with? There should be a penalty for doing this. Perhaps remove their ability to dispute stories after two or three confirmed offenses.

Even on Hacker News where the average user is much more responsible and thoughtful, I've gotten downvoted and flagged to death for opinions/comments/links that don't fall within the echo chamber.

Well, when you're writing a console program, you can assume your font is monospaced and you can assume you have a function like wcwidth() that will tell you how many monospaced cells a string will take up.

I know that eev.ee points out that wcwidth() is inconsistent (emoji screwed it up, then Unicode 9 gave a consistent width to emoji, but most libraries aren't on Unicode 9 so the situation is currently more inconsistent than before). But the situation is a lot better than just saying "I don't know, blame fonts".
