How to Balance Customer Experience with Customer Identity Management?
Yeah, I hope this advice didn't seem too totalitarian. We did that all the time and still do. I think it is more of a "most of the time be consistent". And bed time is only one component. The routine is also super important, possibly more important than a specific time, but the timing certainly helps. The routine before bed is like programming to their brain that helps them hit their off switch easily. After a few years they can do it with very little help from an adult. So it is also all about the age where they are going to most easily learn these skills. To me it is worth doing it when they are younger because it is just another invisible life skill that really helps them be happy and whole.

> the ONLY reason you can say this crap is simply because people competed ... and be pretentious and ungrateful about what society have achieved so far.

Even though you're grossly exaggerating what I've said in the comment, I'm still going to answer with a rhetorical question:

What good is all that shit if the price for that is the suffering and death of our children and eventual end of our species ?

This is what the article is really about.
...

My perspective comes from the summers spent with my grandparents - in the village where life was as it has been for thousands of years. They produced no garbage, they breathed clean air and drank clean water. Did they suffer ? Yes of course, from time to time, that's how it's always been.

Frankly, with all our advanced technology, knowledge, medicine, I think we are a lot more unhappier as a whole - you said it yourself, "my blood boils" - and for what ?

Anyway, I think you're angry at the wrong person, because I think we can have both magic and sustainability - if we just change our philosophy. We can look at the last 100 years or so as a 'growth spurt' for humanity - we had to break eggs to make an omelet; now it's time to get back into shape.

Use the best of magic and our ability to create new one and integrate it into a sustainable system, which treats nature as an organism and not as 'resources' and we might be able to survive it.
A tool to calculate global web development costs
I used to consume most of my stuff through RSS but RSS seems largely dead unfortunately. It provides me with a nice balance between tracking (lots of) things but being able to pull that in when needed and keep it separate from other mediums like email. Subscribing to mailing lists usually ends up to me adding filters that move them to a different folder that I check less.

So for me, I subscribe to 3 or so newsletters. If I find myself not reading one weekly or monthly when it comes, I unsubscribe since it's not something I'm currently interested in. This avoids me ignoring mailing lists or newsletters in general so those that I do read actually add value. HN I check on a daily basis, it's a tab in my browser. But that's about it.

that it does work? how else would this work? someone claims a grievance and needs assistance to settling the dispute. by having this option of a lawyer(group/individual) front the cost it lets anyone bring a viable dispute to the table. It shakes out the frivolous from taking up the time of the courts. It also insures those suing have standing which can be difficult except when facing corporate entity. Against government a common ploy is to claim the plaintiffs don't have standing and without a private agency to go to bat for a group it can be real difficult to move forward?

Government intervention? How would that work? Worse I can imagine all sorts of ways that it would be abused. Look at how much frivolous suits are in the system filed by those who don't to put any skin into the game
For every open source project that you are reliant on, there are probably two mailing lists: one for the developers, and one for the users.

Take a look at both of them; they might be exactly what you need to stay up to date.

For most major non-open-source software projects, there is an unofficial users' mailing list. This is usually much more useful than the official support forum. Try finding it.
I use "clickbait" specifically to mean that the title was misleading or unnecessarily vague. I haven't seen the word used much differently, either on HN or elsewhere.

All of these transforms are trying to take a given signal and find ways to construct it using "atoms" taken from a "dictionary". By looking at which atoms of the dictionary you used, you get an idea of what the signal is made up of.

The discrete cosine transform is awfully similar to the discrete fourier transform. They are conceptually the same and just have minor technical differences. The DCT and DFT's dictionaries are made up of sine and cosine wave atoms at different frequencies. These waves are all infinitely long, so they work best at representing signals which are repetitive over their whole length. They don't do a very good job at noticing where interesting parts of a signal are.

A wavelet is like a small chunk of sine/cosine wave. Instead of being infinitely long, it only exists over a small length of time/space. The wavelet dictionary contains wavelets in different places as well as at different frequencies. So when you decompose using wavelets they do a better job of encoding where the interesting bits are. Wavelets assume your signal might be periodic in particular areas, where the DFT tries to find periodicities over the whole signal.
They don't, they are equivalent to ext4 (ie. no error checking, dedupe etc...).

I'm glad to see that the Goodreads comments aren't agreeing that Goodreads sucks. I'm not that kind of reader, but my wife wrote her first novel about Bulgokov's writing of Master and Margarita, and it's getting good reviews on Goodreads (she was on NPR a couple of weeks back). Googling her book is actually how I found Goodreads.

>People value their iPhones and disney cruises way more than the natural environment

This is a emotional statement rather than a practical one. I think you'd probably get people to give those up if it would have a measurable, provable impact that wasn't 200 or 300 years in a possible future. The real bulk of emissions are caused by the everyday use of things that make modern life and the current population levels possible. Giving up an iPhone is one thing giving up electricity, transport, sanitation, modern farming, refrigeration, climate control, and sending countless billions into abject poverty while causing a few billion more to starve is a politically untenable position.

I believe few people actually truly hold these beliefs as suicides among environmentalists don't seem to be abnormally common and yet it is probably the most carbon friendly course of action possible. The idea seems to be that someone else should do without and that someone else is typically the working poor and middle class families at home and the majority of the world that lives in poverty abroad.

> DuckDuckGo isn't that great

Do you mind elaborating on this a bit? I've been using DDG for a couple of years now and, although at the beginning I would fallback to Google very often, now that changed. I still fallback to Google from time to time, but it's more to have a confirmation that, as parent says, the results are disappointing than anything else. Now I probably use Google after trying g DDG once in every 10/15 queries. It used to be one in three when I switched.

To be honest, I even find DDG to be way way better than Google in certain results. Programming related queries that would produce StackOverflow results are one example. And I'm not even considering the preview feature that DDG has that shows you the accepted answer to the SO question right in the search page.

One thing I don't like though, is the way the images and videos preview works (not in the image tab, in the search tab) on DDG. I find that row of videos/images to just be annoying since I would explicitly make an image search if that's what I needed.

That said, my experience now is that if DDG results are disappointing, there's a very very high chance that Google results will be disappointing too.
>> Companies never think of the old guys as the ones to implement the new system - that's a job for the "enterprise experts"

Too often the old guys simply re-create the old system using the old methods in new software, and you end up with all the same problems as before.

In a perfect world, the two would work together.
I wonder if it's related to the memory "issue" with their client, where exceeding 1TB/1 million files, a manual edit of the .ini file to bump the JVM memory allocation is necessary. I remember reading somewhere that it has to do with CRC checksum calculation for all the files? I've had to change the setting multiple times (currently at 8GB for ~8TB/1 million files).

> Your statement that the green movement would be embraced by everyone if they understood tradeoffs and economics doesn't take into account the opposition from entrenched interests and capital.

It would be if the gains were on the level that would justify the adoption of whatever was/is proposed. Give me any tech, green or not, with 10x improvement on what currently exist and I can bet you anything that no amount of capital or vested interest will be able to oppose it - there are exceptions ofc but I would argue that those are far from the norm (if they weren't no progress would ever take place which we know is not true).

>If you view progress as some kind of struggle of the species, like a force of nature, then yes it is indeed grand.

I believe indeed in this former view you describe here. We could argue which of the two views you present is more true than the other, but I think there is plenty that speaks for both. I choose to believe in this version as long as there is evidence to support it.

> But so does "economics is a science like physics". While the former is obnoxious, the latter is dangerous.

I could not agree more. In fact, I think you are the kind of guy who I could sit with and talk to for hours and we'd get somewhere. I don't believe economics is like physics. In fact, I believe economics, like politics, are more like religion. Case and point being the clusterfuck that is the rule of Keynesian economics for the past 80 years or so.

When I say economics I refer to the rational human ability to understand trade-offs. Not all agents are equally capable of it and not all care as much. But, with that said, it does not take a genius to understand what I wrote above (which you originally replied to).

I firmly believe that most of these hippie green suckers wouldn't want to live in the world they themselves describe as ideal. I think they vastly underestimate the prices of things and how much of their living standard is dependent on energy as a whole. It is short-sightedness that pisses me off. You see people complain about living cost being too high in one thread and later on see the same person talk about how we should be greener regardless of cost. This cognitive dissonance buggs me to no end...

Being able to see the trade-offs beyond what is in front of you is what, in my book, classifies as economics. Perhaps I should have been clearer in my definition. But I hope that this clarifies to you where I stand on the matter!

Death to My Unfinished Game Dev Projects
Same here. Deleted account just before end of 2014 (facebook changed their data policy). We did it with couple of friends and were amazed by the effect. After two weeks we realized we all feel better and we never needed fb. None of us came back (just more our friends left).

Really the only pain for me were fb events. In my country fb events are the most important calendar to the point that many of the venues/places put events just on fb. The problem is that i organize events from time to time and its impossible without account. Its also getting pretty hard to make fake account (they require copy of ID for new accounts now).

The events are even more pain because they dont have api. Its on purpose. Venues for example cant have automated posting of events from their site. You have to make events in the fb ui. They are read only so people started opposite aproach, they post ebents on fb and consume them in their site. Its limiting and just againts everything internet used to be about.
If everyone was seeking enlightenment, there would be no incentives. Incentives are entirely constructions of the ego. Also, most of the posters seem ignorant to the fact that science and rationality are equally as dogmatic as the most fundamentalist religion. All beliefs are false, there is no argument against that.

Boursorama is not a bank. It's a website to allow people to play on the financial markets ("bourse" = exchange). I think Americans would call that a sort of dealing account.

Obviously, a dealing account has to hold funds and handle transfers. That's not any close to a consumer bank though.

That's not from sequestered carbon, so over a decade it is probably zero net CO2 contribution - forests grow and sequester carbon, then they burn and release it, rinse, repeat.

Now, the methane released from underneath thawing permafrost - that's actually dangerous - but there's not much that can be done to manage that to my knowledge...
But then debt and better money management and institutes has created the most peaceful and less violent societies in the world.

In "original" societies it is not abnormal for 50% of males to die violent deads. In our societies it is less than 2% as far as i remember. Including two world wars!

So the violence of debt is not that relevant in the big picture.
Keep in mind also that the giving of fingerprints is considered non-testimonial. You can be forced to give up your fingerprints, but in a criminal prosecution you cannot be forced to answer questions such as, "what is your password?" The heightened security thought to be obtained by cloaking a phone with a fingerprint is thus easily removed.

Dialog Semiconductor tumbles after analyst's Apple warning
Here is an easy explanation, before computers the Fourier transform of sound was computed using a bank of filters. Each filter was tuned to detect a certain frequency.

To go back from frequency to the original sound you have to replace the filters by sound generators (generating the same frequency the filter was tuned to)

In my interactive sample below I have a filter tuned for each note of the piano (you'll need a microphone)

Sadly, I think you're right. When you get down to it, wars are usually just one group trying take another group's stuff. The common precursor to large-scale war appears to be 'resource scarcity'. I'm almost beginning to think the 'billions of people migrating' scenario is the more optimistic one.

Well I don't need a flashlight, it's never too dark where I live (Greece) regardless of season. As for your other points. Reading: As I said I have a Kindle which is far better than any smartphone for books, and thanks to Instapaper I can read pretty much everything on it. GPS: I don't need it, my car has an embedded one and it works just fine. When I'm not in my car wandering around without knowing where exactly I am is a joy, actually it's one of my hobbies. I get to accidentally find new places all the time. As for a phone per se, I have a dumbphone (Samsung E2600). Alarm: I don't need one, I have a steady sleeping pattern and I wake up automatically.

I'm not saying they're plain useless. I just don't risk getting hooked on them in exchange for a handful of useful services. I can live happily without owning one. If I ever feel that owning a smartphone will make my life better I'd gladly buy one. It's not ideology that stops me from getting one. I just don't want to end up like those guys who meet up for a coffee and spend two thirds of their time watching their smartphones. I don't feel sorry for them, I think they're hooked to the damn thing as I could easily get hooked if I had one. So to relieve me from the temptation of checking it every other minute I simply don't have one. Problem solved. As always, YMMV.

I worked on a bunch of Disney games during the PS1/2 era and I can add to this (but I was not employed by Disney):

Even with the clout of Disney it was really hard to work with "professional" actors who were SO bad at doing the voices for games. They were slow and VERY error prone. They often demanded ridiculous extras and final say on lines used but couldn't match their performance in the original movie. We could hire professional voice actors and record quality accurate depictions of the characters in 1/10th of the time. In fact recording the foreign versions where we used the original foreign voice actor was nearly always easier and more efficient because there is less ego.

The Hollywood system is a sham. There are fixed unionised rates for voice acting but that's not worth the top actors time so they roll in to the studio to do their $100/hr talk knowing that when they leave there is a brand new BMW, Lexus or even piece of art to add to their private collection waiting for them as a gift. We're talking Picasso's as sweeteners!

The games industry has a lot wrong with it but it's nothing like the shambles of the movie industry.
