I don't think you need a network on Twitter for it to be interesting or useful. Just follow people you are interested in. It has ended up being a replacement for Reader for me. Instead of aggregating a bunch of RSS feeds, I follow a bunch of authors to see what they are writing, and the bonus is you get a some commentary along with it.
> People who control those companies are solely executives or wall street share holders, not the people who spend countless hours making the company run and function

As an entrepreneur, it's actually pretty difficult to find folks who prefer getting compensated primarily in shares rather than cash. If you want to have significant ownership in a company that usually isn't much of a challenge.
By 'rotation' is meant rotating a plane that goes through the origin, carrying along the other points that are off the plane according to their projection onto it. In 4-d if you rotate around the y-z plane, then around the w-x plane, there's no plane that can express a single composed rotation with the same effect. But as you say, it's composable as a unitary matrix.
> Automation suites are a way to harden the software, so that even minor changes will be significant and may halt development.

I find this to be the biggest issue. Specifically, the "best" time to write tests is also when the code is least likely to be stable!

It's easy to think "if we had just started writing browser tests when we had fewer features, we could have kept up with a testing suite". But that means your browser tests are constantly breaking and people just give up on them. The app eventually gets big enough, and has enough users, that you have to bolt on the tests later to keep bugs from hurting too many customers.

This seems problem seems to be way less of an issue with regular unit tests. I guess the lack of changing dom selectors would be a big reason why.
It sounds pretty great, but I'm very worried about what actually comes out of it given the media landscape. People will use the data in ways that benefit them - even the CBO's reports are highly politicized.

If we can't start taking "real, true" data at face value and using it to drive actual policy again, this is just another drop in the bucket.
I used to do the same (I've used it since 2009 for the exact same reason). At some point though, that gets old, you hear too much noise and blabber and realize you're voicing your @ replies and thoughts in a vacuum. Nobody is listening (and I have about 1500 followers). The ones who have a voice on Twitter have become too vocal over time.

Yeah if anything, I found Twitter TOO addicting. Whether you have an interest in stats, finance, basketball, politics, tech, deep learning, mathematics... you'll find an industry leader who has an active account. Writers (journalists, authors) are especially active on the platform which makes for some rather interesting leads to things to look at.

I actually found it far more interesting overall than Facebook (hah! says a lot about my social network) and Reddit.

For a lot of apps, this works, but I think this is also what's led to number of Electron packaged apps.

It starts out as a web app, because you can iterate quickly and its mostly platform agnostic. Then people realise that what you're doing means a 'dedicated' app is a better experience.

At this point, the correct choice would be to have someone create a desktop app that uses your existing web app as an API. If your web stack handles accepts/content-type switching in a decent way, this may mean very little or no work on the backend.

Unfortunately this is also the point where its become common to adopt Electron. Like a lot of things that are wrong in this industry, I blame it on the cool kid javascript/front end developers. "Oh sure I can just make you an electron app for desktop users, its just js/html/css".

It struck me as philanthropy in a way.

And he confirms it.

“We’re making philanthropic donations elsewhere — I think of this as another,” he said, referring to himself and his wife. “I don’t even deduct this for my taxes. I pay this with after-tax money, no pretax money, because I don’t want anybody being able to think that factors in. But I feel like it’s a civic contribution more than anything else.”
Oh this is fascinating. I can't wait for people to slice and dice this up and show all kinds of data and analysis. This reminds me of how the NBA opened up the data stores from Sport Vu analytics and other advanced statistics and how much we learned from it by all the people on the web looking at it and thinking about it, sorting it and analyzing it in many different ways to see things no one had seen before. That has to be good for our country.
So, too late to open up the API?
Hi HN,

I just finished adding video support (and stubbed out audio support).

Due to already using ffmpeg for image manipulations, this turned out to be rather easy.

>The prosecutor in the case, Assistant District Attorney Steve Fein, described the plea deal to The Daily Beast as a fair outcome, noting that accessory after the fact is also a felony, though not a violent one that would place Gattani at risk of being deported back to his native India.

>Fein noted that the plea calls for a six-month jail term, though only 30 days of actual incarceration, with the balance served in the weekend-work program, doing manual labor for eight-hour shifts but otherwise at liberty. Fein maintained that Rastogi offered no objection when he provided her with the details of the deal.

Some other lovely things this guy said:
>“Yeah I would like to see you murdered,” he says. “I used to always think, like in some murders (in movies and all) they show that the murderer stabbed the victim with a knife 45 times; how would someone do that. Killing someone even once is so difficult to accomplish. Then how can that person/man stab the knife in the victim’s body so many times. I now imagine and can relate now to doing that to you. And I am not kidding. If you can’t believe me I can swear on anyone’s life.”

This doesn't seem like justice given this is his second incident. I am all for second chances, but beating your wife probably multiple times should be grounds for having the book thrown at you including getting kicked out of the country. How he is getting 30 days for all the things he put this women though. They need to throw him jail for a while.

My company uses github, and it's been down enough to significantly impact work about a dozen times in the past 3 years. There were periods before that where github would be down enough to cause CI or CD builds to fail on a daily basis for months. Still, It's probably worth it for what we pay and the service we get for us to continue using github, even with outages. However, for my personal repos, I host the primary repo on my own infrastructure on my own network on my own property, using only software that is licensed under a free/oss license. I mirror public repos to github as a way of publishing the work, but I'm not going to get caught having to make a tough/expensive decision when Github changes their service plans again.
> even the CBO's reports are highly politicized

Can you source that?
I think it's because the ideals of a start up and co-op are at odds.

Start ups typically want large success, and are more pitching in for a gamble. What this person is talking about, and I imagine many co-ops are in general, is just want to exist as masters of themselves with a steady job. That's just my 2 cents on it, people probably have wildly different ideas based on who and what the co-op was for...

When you launch a start up, the best case scenario involves selling off large chunks of the company at every step of the way to your amazing success. By the end you and your original owners have a diluted share (and say) in that vision. Very different than, "we're all making steady pay with democratic leadership." Sure it's a matter of taste as to who would want which.

Maybe I'm weird, but I often wonder why we value our own kind so highly above all others. Is a human life that much more important/valuable than another species? If so, why?

Or is it just a preservation instinct?
It's more than that.

JavaScript is so ubiquitous for any sort of web programming that it's often not even mentioned in job reqs or courses. Instead of JS, its often Node, React, Angular, or other JS-based stacks that are the focus. If an poll were to be taken of what languages HN (or Reddit or Slashdot or Yahoo or Apple...) visitors programmed in, I would be shocked if JS came in 7th place. Heck, even among my friends who work at Apple, JS isn't that far down the frequently used list.

Do you honestly believe that Visual Basic .NET is a more popular language in 2017 than JavaScript is?
We need to experiment with different ways of organizing our scientific endeavors.

Between postdocs forced to spin their wheels in the mud (or quit) for untold years, the replication crisis, generally misaligned incentives between doing the best work possible vs. advancing one's career, and of course, funding difficulties, I think it's clear that we aren't anywhere close to making the most of our opportunities to advance human knowledge and understanding.

I'm not saying that we haven't acheived mind blowing things in the past few centuries, or even that we won't continue to do the same in the coming decades. I simply mean we shouldn't avoid the hard, grueling work needed to make progress on some of the obvious problems.

We also shouldn't be afraid to be honest about the failings of current approaches and processes. Although, I suppose in some political climates that may be a little trickier​, given the apparent propensity for damaging misinterpretations.
Curating your own newspaper and never even tweeting once yourself is a compelling, amazing and totally underrated use of Twitter. Any issue of particular interest to you, follow as many of the key players and observers who tweet and get all the important stories, not just one newspaper's. And all the reaction to those stories. It is only for adults who are capable of assessing a source. If that's you it's amazing. The brevity is it's strength.

Then he’s in. Loving it. Loving the music. Loving the food and drink. He’s going up to everyone, saying hello. And after a while you realize he’s started balling “thanks for coming, great to see you man!” to your guests. By the end of the evening it’s his party and everybody had a great time. That’s Steve Ballmer.

A social network needs to be social, feel social, and make you feel like you have friends who want to listen to your drivel on it.

The counterpoint here is that for all platforms what this is true. If I post something on Instagram I typically get no interaction, same with snapchat, same with Twitter.

Why? I don't have that many people who want to interact with what I post apparently. I'm also not a super frequent poster, don't go around commenting and liking etc...like super users do.

I find Twitter to be at least as engaging as the rest of the platforms, so I think it's just that other platforms happened to be where the culture was.

Note also that for all of the current major social platforms: Snapchat, Facebook and to a lesser degree Instagram, they all got their huge dedicated user base from people under 18. Twitter never had a youthful start - it was almost all tech people from the TC post to the SXSW boost, and an older demo from the start.

That's an important distinction that I think is overlooked.
someone has decided this filesystem does not need to support the year 292,277,026,596AD, and has chosen to use some of the space for granularity instead.

I don't know where you came up with that number. It is from Apple documentation?

A true nanosecond timestamp wouldn't get you anywhere near the number you suggest. Here's a back of the envelope calculation:

A 32-bit timestamp with one-second resolution is good for, more or less, 68 years. Or 136 years if unsigned. That's the traditional "unix epoch" setup.

Now add 32 more bits to the LSBs of the timestamp. There are 1 billion nanoseconds in a second. A 32 bit integer can hold over 4 billion different values. So the 32 LSBs, if they represent nanoseconds, will overflow in just over 4 seconds.

What that means is the 32 MSBs now have a range of just over 4x the traditional Unix timestamp. If it was 68 or 136 years before, it becomes 291 or 582 years.

That's what I would have done if I were Apple. I would have set the LSB of a 64 bit unsigned counter to represent 1 nanosecond. I would keep year 0 as 1970. So, problem solved until (roughly) 1970 + 582 = 2552.

Very cool work, but one thing that comes to mind is that this approach is still 30% "evaporant, surfactant, and plasticizer solvents, [and] polylactic-co-glycolic acid" by volume[1]. Good for simple tools and fixes that need to be rebuilt, but a long ways off from being self sustainable. Needing to ship 30% of the materials with you means this probably wont be usable for habitat creation or anything long term. I'm curious to see how low we can get that percentage down while still maintaining structural integrity.

I'm curious about this. How is this at all a virtue? If you're not willing to hustle to ensure the success of your project, why should anyone make a bet on it?

About two years ago, and +2,000 followers I deleted my twitter account. Why pray tell?

Because they wanted my cell phone number, and my personal Identification, not unlike paypal.

Twitter was anonymous, and now its not; I think its not growing just like gmail.com, before when it was all anonymous many people were joining, now going in people know they have no anonymity, thus many simply don't complete the registration process once they know that twitter is collecting everything about them, and knows exactly who there are, & where they are ( cell phone tracking device ).

Game over for anonymity, and that marked the end of growth for social networking.

About two years ago for twitter.
Excellent topic and resource. A friend and I were discussing this prospect today. What we are thinking of is something of: University + NPO + Business. I think having a cooperative tandemed to some sort of training system is important... for many reasons if anyone is interested in discussing this further. See ELSE[1] for something similar in spirit ( which I just learned about today from a professor that used to run it ), but still quite different.

The fundamental product with Twitter is that its product doesn't appeal to everyone [1] the way that Google and Facebook do. This may be the problem with Snapchat as well, although that hasn't been conclusively determined. If Twitter were a truly mass-market product, none of the rest of its problems would matter. But it's not, and that's a conundrum, since you can't monetize a social network through means other than advertising: https://stratechery.com/2014/ello-consumer-friendly-business...

with a $246 billion surplus you can focus on more than one product at a time with at least 10 times the budget of a company that can only focus on one product. If you can't figure out how to grow profits at this scale, you are terrible at training and management and deserve to go out of business.

The true Achilles heel of Apple is the cult of Steve Jobs. He was possibly the only effective micro-manager. The company can't run by filling a Steve Jobs shaped hole with anyone else. They need to learn to breed drive a vision in the heads of their divisions, give them the autonomy to push the limits the way Jobs did and then strive to reproduce these traits and abilities in all of their leadership while spreading out the responsibility. They can only spread their focus through properly pooled intellectual resources and vision.
