5 Lessons CEO Jason Robins Learned in DraftKings’ First 5 Years
> I wouldn't be surprised that with the blurring or work and life boundaries that a significant portion of people on HN have files from a previous employer on their personal computers.

Maybe you do, I don't. Leaving an employer while retaining a copy of their confidential data is IMO a massively unethical thing to do.

I won't speak for others but when I leave an employer I do not take any data with me, not even notebooks. I may take additional notes about things I do outside of work, but I do this on my own time, and ensure that no source code, emails, or other company data is mixed up in those.

I have previously worked with people who kept their entire notebooks from previous employers. While it might help you solve a problem faster, I personally find that practice hugely unethical. You developed these skills on your former employer's time, and either you know the information well enough to do it again from memory, or you should learn it again on your new employers time. Otherwise the new company is unjustly benefiting from the previous company's investment in you.
There are a fair number of businesses in old industries that "went digital" 10-20 years ago still have the same tech running, including FTP. I work with a company that requires uploading files via FTP into a co-mingled directory (everyone uses the same password). Company is a major player in my industry, too.

I would be curious if some government services were still running FTP, judging by the number of Y2K-era government websites I run into.

Manjaro hands down these days for me at least. All the arch edge but with a bit less crashing. The hw detection tools is second to none, steam just works, so does wine, etc. I'm even devving my own project on the Linux editor of UE4, which crashes all the time because Epic.

I tend to distrohop very frequently, but I haven't moved from manjaro for months now.
This would be really useful as a service. Send a glob of html to their endpoint, and return what this site does (the cleaned/washed html). As a service, it could be more efficient than doing 1 file at a time on their site. Or better yet, it would be awesome to open source the way this cleans the html. Regardless, awesome site. I could see the use for various scenarios.

Erm .. what is the point of Rails here? This can be done with Rack, Sinatra, Node, Go.

I really like Rails, but I get a bit annoyed when people use it everywhere even where it is not a good fit e.g. no need of activerecord, no server side templates or other 70% of Rails feature set, it is all just there adding to bloat without any usage.
This issue isn't exclusively about big corps vs startups. There are parts of big established corps where they're growing so fast in new lines of business that it's essentially a startup in terms of the stage of process and systems maturity. There are startups at the other end of the spectrum. I think it has more to do with the leadership than the size or age of the company.

AREXX ports were fantastic, but the language is awful. But Amiga BASIC was no longer shipped wit the OS as of 2.x anyway, so unless you got a copy elsewhere there was no choice. But Amiga BASIC had falled out of favour long before that.

Reading through a number of the comments, my thoughts on this matter may draw some ire, but here they are anyway, FWIW.

I would really like to see some consistency applied to how the law is enforced and written when it comes to traffic safety. What I mean by that is driving is clearly an inherently dangerous activity given the frequency of traffic incidents on a per-capita basis compared with just about anything else. Well, for every other type of inherently dangerous activity we are all forced to sign wavers basically saying that we understand and accept said risk and we are willing to take that risk. That acceptance protects mostly everything but situations involving negligence or gross negligence. I never understood why driving is treated any differently.

Also, when you look at what traffic law is at its most basic level, it makes little sense when compared to the rest of the body of law that exists for everything else. Traffic law exists primarily to increase safety on the roads and reduce the risk of accidents. Now, statistics do show that enforcing traffic laws do actually make the roads safer. I acknowledge that up front. But my issue with them is that the overwhelming majority of traffic citations are issued for violations that have caused no harm. That is, drivers are cited and forced to pay a fine simply for increasing the odds of an accident happening. The accident need not actually have occurred. Nowhere else does that shit fly. You can't go to court and sue someone for anything without there being some sort of harm/tort/injury/etc. That's basic law. If someone, for example, tried to defraud you but you were slick enough to spot it and stopped it, you can't sue them in court because you didn't actually lose money.

I'd much rather see a situation where either people accept the risks of the road and only have limited options like negligence and perhaps a few others - or, to see cops citing people only when they are deemed the cause of the accident or the rare cases when someone is driving so insanely on the road that their driving alone is enough to justify gross negligence (i.e. racing or doing 50 in a 25 in the rain).
More than half UK stores are franchised.

http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/whatmakesmcdonalds/questio...

> There are 1,200 McDonald's restaurants in the UK. 65% of which are franchised and 35% company-owned. We take great care in selecting our franchisees and once they're with us, we invest heavily in a comprehensive training programme and providing ongoing support for them.

> We actively encourage our franchisees to expand their business and this is evident in the fact that, on average, a McDonald's franchisee owns five restaurants. Our franchisees commit to operating their restaurants for 20 years so they're also often heavily involved in their local communities – for instance, being involved with local business groups, local environmental initiatives or supporting local grassroots football.

I'm not sure what you mean? Most of the more popular well-done themes on there give you the UI elements, and examples of how to put them all together as various types of pages/UIs. For example, here is just a quick top selling one I found: http://trystack.mediumra.re/ - It includes all the elements broken out, and then ways to form various UIs with those elements. Is that not what you are looking for? Did I misunderstand?
Mohawk is still open! I learned to ski at Catamount and it was closed for a few years and then successfully reopened. I think the best of New England small hill ski slopes is Butternut (locally called Butt Nut) and if you want to see what these small slopes were like would be a good place to experience it. I miss the Ice Night Skiing at Sundown which is still there.

Sad I don't live there anymore such a fun place to ski and then if you wanted Vermont Skiing on big slopes was just a few hours away.
"An error has occurred" while trying to fingerprint my browser in iOS, (not with the browser, but their toolset). Guess it failed to fingerprint me technically hah.
I interpret "soul", "spirit" and such terms as a poetic concept to represent the kernel of being, as in, what defines individuality. If you understand conscience as the flow of conscious states, what defines you should be the persistent aspects of those states, trying to draw a parallel with programming languages, it's spirit would be it's core functions. So, not what kind of information you have or deal with, but how you deal with it.

I just can't understand the search for a metaphysical soul, as it is not an actual search, it's just faith, hope, it's not a reasonable answer or an attempt at one, and I guess a lot of philosophers and poets use the words "soul" and "spirit" with what I said earlier in mind.

In the old days, we had decent clients for http but they were all manual operated GUIs, and the decent clients for FTP were all CLI and/or extremely automatable. Also in the old days it was unusual to have a machine with a GUI maybe 30 years ago.

Also there was a day before dependency resolving automatic downloading GPG verifying distribution clients. I was there... Say you needed to roll back (or security upgrade) some software, you'd quite possibly go to a FTP site thats trusted, download some tar.gz or tar.z or shar archive that was trusted, make, make install, plus or minus some configuration of course. You can't do that via http in 1990 while telnet'd into a server, the http infrastructure and commands and servers hadn't been invented yet.

Its also important to point out that at least some of us were fooling around with unix and FTP (and FTP to non-unix OS, I vaguely remember some TOPS20 server in the late 80s early 90s... simtel20?) before http ever existed. So naturally there were a lot of tools and processes and experience getting things done with FTP when HTTP arrived.

Decent FTP client CLIs were extremely advanced. Not exactly "wget someurl" and hope for the best LOL. Automatic login with differing accounts per site, text mode graphs and stats as downloads commence, tab completion, local help command functionality, multi-connection support... Mirrored and often lead the developments in modem/BBS download functionality (think like Zmodem on Telix not kermit)

Its sort of like those "how could you have thought using telnet was a good idea compared to ssh?" Well, I had 15 years of unix experience before OpenSSH was deployable, so we had a lot of telnet experience...

Ask HN: Extracting book titles from comments

Sure. Until they email you your account is "temporarily suspended due to some spam complains" and before you find out some angry customer felt that tmher refund process took too long and filter her email to see yours and click "mark as spam" each email and you scramble to setup your own mailservers before you let employees go because your company is unable to send a single email to make a single sale this month...

Until then, all is fine I agree.
Attempting to reduce pedestrian deaths using speed limits seems the wrong way to handle it. Attempting to limit 'bad' behavior doesn't work well. Just look at the war on drugs.

It seems like it would compared to a wild west situation where everyone is doing lots of drugs/going as fast as possible, but in our current society cracking down further offers no further benefits and may come at additional costs.

For example:

Automatic breaking technology on cars that can detect people who the driver might not be able to see (child running out from in-between parked cars).

Better selective enforcement of speed limits so that people pay a bit more attention. When an empty country road says 25mph due to a speed trap, it reduces the trust people place in speed limits, meaning they won't respect the 25mph speed limit as much even when it is in a school zone where children are constantly crossing the street.

Better side walk design. I shouldn't be only two feet from a speeding 2 ton object even when everyone is following the law correctly. Having space between the road and sidewalk helps. Maybe add some trees and other objects that will stop a drunk driver who runs off the road.

Bike paths for those riding bikes. Also separated from the road.
Even so, this may not be very beneficial.

In years past, many RBLs would categorize IP Addresses by type. e.g. dynamic IPs assigned to DSL/Cable subscribers. This would enable a receving SMTP server to check if the email came from an ISP subscriber, rather than an email server. If so, it was usually a good guage that the email was "spammy", because it was sent by a subscriber's infected computer.

In this sense, it was (and may still be) possible to simply block, or at least score differently, email from any/all AWS Elasic IPs.
The authors built a physical drone that flew 11,000+ random trajectories - mostly crashing into things. They then trained a neural network with the camera images, and got surprisingly decent obstacle avoidance and exploration out of it.

Ugh I HATED Sugarloaf. Got my ticket cut at 9 am for doing a helicopter on a small jump on the side of the trail. I never went back.

A good chunk of this article talked about Michigan and the reasoning behind its increasing speed limits, but it somewhat failed to address your point, so I'll do so since I know a bit about this subject (hell, everyone who lives in Michigan at a certain age becomes an expert on these things -- there's nothing resembling useful public transportation here).

We have several cities, but they're somewhat small by comparison to some of the places a lot of HN readers are from. There's no analog to SF/Silicon Valley here. Sure, people walk around Detroit, but for the most part, that's down-town in a few select areas (yes, people do walk in the outskirts, as well, but there are much larger dangers going on there than pedestrian fatalities). There are several other cities where there is a lot of walking traffic. The speed limits are 25MPH in all of the places you'd expect them to be[0]. The 85th percentile rule does not apply in these cases nor does it apply on residential roads. I live on a main subdivision road and folks commonly exceed 25MPH. I call the cops when I see it and they've had patrols going on in my neighborhood every day for the last two weeks (it's very profitable for them). People are finally slowing down again. You will get pulled over for going 5MPH over the limit in these situations, whereas that would never happen on a main road unless you were doing something else wrong.

I'm a huge supporter of the 85th percentile rule, but only when applied outside of these cases. Yes, people walk on the county/state roads that are set by this rule, but there are proper signals with increased delay times when pedestrians push the magic button (which, on these roads, actually does something -- the walk/don't walk signals won't turn to walk ... ever ... if the button isn't pressed). On freeways, there's no pedestrian traffic (on purpose, anyway).

[0] My daughter is hard of hearing (with hearing aids and all) and ADHD. She's the kid who's going to chase a ball into the road without looking and not have strong enough hearing to notice a car before it's too late (she rarely wears the hearing aids at play outside to fear of damaging them). I have followed kids home in my car and had discussions with their parents about their driving. I stick with the rule of "keep up with traffic" and will speed when that's how fast everyone else is going, but I never exceed the speed limit in pedestrian areas and I hope most adults follow suit ... though if my neighborhood is any indication, the worst time for speeding is when parents are heading to the Elementary school (located in my neighborhood!) to pick up their children. They'll blow past the crossing guards while kids are walking home from school doing 40 MPH. I guess if it's not their kid on side-walk, some folks feel it's more important to get where their going.
What is your specific visual condition, if you don't mind my asking. Most people who I'd characterize as "debilitatingly blind" are lucky if they get any benefit from conventional eyeglasses, let alone "better-than-perfect" vision. I have a significant visual impairment myself (myopia, aphakia, and nystagmus) but I wouldn't put myself in that category.
Nobody is happy each and every day, that's impossible given human nature.

There are however people who are satisfied and content with their life almost every day.

You can install Steam and NVIDIA proprietary drivers just fine on Arch Linux or any other distro, as well.

Ubuntu is the only officially supported distro, as in mentioned in system requirements, just because it's the most ubiquitous distro. It doesn't actually mean you will have any less problems with the problematic Linux games on Ubuntu, than on any other distro.

On Arch, with an NVIDIA card, getting this "all" up and running boils down to: sudo pacman -S steam nvidia

This gives you the most recent NVIDIA driver, 378.13-5.

Not everyone needs to do scientific research and read peer-reviewed journal articles about every topic to come to a conclusion about it.

Until such time as reputable scientists start saying there is more than a tangential relationship between vaccination and autism, it's a pretty untenable position to have.

> Autism rates have gone up during the last 20+ years. Why is this?

Autism rates increasing doesn't mean there's more autism, it means there's more diagnosed autism. It could be that it was under-diagnosed in the past. It could be that it's actually increasing. It could be that it's simply being over-diagnosed now. I'm bracing for the backlash but I've met a dozen or so diagnosed autistic children and more than a few of them are just assholes or have parents looking for an easy way to not discipline their children.

Agreed. I'm quite glad your comment is near the top. I normally read the comments before the article. Fortunately, after seeing your post, I went to the article first. If I just looked at the comments here I would have skipped it, to my detriment. It was well written, with lots of actionable advice. Most of the comments here are either nitpicking slightly clickbaity headings (and ignoring the useful content beneath them) or complaining about 'science/evidence', again probably without reading more than the headings.
