I had this happen too, my experience is the same as the other posters when I used comcastroturf to post a comment. There was no sign the FCC received it at all.

If you submit your comment directly to the FCC, you get a confirmation e-mail, you don't get signed up for any mailing list (comcastroturf tried to sign me up for a mailing list), and you will see it posted to the site after a day or so passes, when they have reviewed it.

It's very interesting that so many robo-comments in support of Axe'ing the Title II laws were posted to the site, if they are being manually reviewed by someone... it's almost as if the FCC already knows what direction they're going to take, and this comment period is just a dog and pony show so they can say they had one.
In case anyone missed the Juicero teardown in April, here it is:

> One Giant Misstep

> The vast majority of the complexity of the Press is driven by one simple problem inherent in the machine’s design: the massive force required to press the packs across the entire surface at once. The machine must apply equal pressure to ~64 square inches of surface area at once, meaning the drivetrain must be able to apply thousands of pounds of force to squish all that produce.

> On the contrary, when a human hand squeezes the same pack, we naturally use a very different technique [fingers create large amounts of pressure over much smaller surface area]

> I have to believe the engineers that built this product looked at other ways of pressing the juice, but if the primary mechanism could apply force in a more focused way it could easily save hundreds of dollars off the shelf price of the product.

That blog post is high art.

Udacity Nanodegrees are geared toward "post-beginners looking to specialize" (my words, not theirs).

https://www.udacity.com/nanodegree

For example, the Android nanodegree assumes you're already familiar with Java and OOP, but not with Android.

The "Full Stack Web Developer Nanodegree" suggests you have "Beginner-level experience in Python." (direct quote) https://www.udacity.com/course/full-stack-web-developer-nano...

These courses are not cheap, they take a lot of time, but if you have the time and money, they are absolutely worth it IMO.
All good examples! Thanks so much!

First part of solving a problem is recognizing that you actually have a problem.
I increasingly see that happen in regards to the finite nature of the resources on Earth and it's rather delicate balance of climate vs pollution.
These are problems we've accumulated over generations and just recently recognized we actually have, to me that's worth something.

No, it was just something that implies that he drank constantly, except at work and for 40 days each year for Lent. At a very early age, the author learned to pour dad's beer in the car for his travel cup. This was a routine and ongoing practice. It is a detail that is suggestive of "If he isn't sleeping or at work, he has a beer in his hand. That's how much he drinks."
It's all they needed. 6 bytes per address, and 2 more bytes to mark the protocol. Back in the 70s and 80s memory was very expensive and developers bent over backwards to save bytes everywhere. This is also why IP addresses are only 32 bits long, even though they knew that it wouldn't be enough if the protocol went global.

Hindsight is 20/20, and a lot of times people don't appreciate the constraints these old systems had. This was being developed decade before the Commodore 64 came out with its luxurious 64 kilobytes of memory (39k usable).
I worked there as a contract tech-writer a few years back. The people were great company and very talented. But the bling and the actual value proposition - who knows? I guess the market has decided.

Interesting factoids:

1. They have/had airport-style security scanners that shake you down on your way out. The idea is to prevent theft of their expensive phones and their expensive components and decorations (think diamonds). To get out, you press a button, and if the machine beeps, you get searched and your stuff gets scanned. Not sure how effective it was - if you had access to the valuable stuff (I didn't) I can imagine that swallowing a few bits and pieces might defeat the security measures.

2. When I started, they were owned by Nokia who had just been bought by Microsoft. So I spent months developing a user manual based on Windows Phone. On my last day, having handed everything over, they shyly told me that they'd also been developing an Android model in secret, just in case the market turned against them. Sure enough - they were snapped up by a private equity firm and their next model was an Android.
It's a amazing how minimal prior knowledge and a quick google search totally trumps someone who's spent years working in a field.

It's not really up to IBM whether or not this shift towards more developer influence happens. IBM can either embrace this shift and benefit from it, or it can reject it and pretend it's not happening. Personally, I hope that IBM continues to accept and embrace this shift (which I am seeing many indications of). I hope that IBM continues to become more-and-more relevant to developers, but the proof is in the pudding.

Question then: who decides whether someone is "rightly" upset? There is some implication there that we don't need act on every offense taken.

For instance, I don't expect others to act (i.e. should be forced to change) because something offends me.

Don't confuse this question with me arguing that we shouldn't be empathetic.

I built my own book "review" site (it's really just my thoughts on a book, not necessarily "reviews"). Every book I read gets a review on my site. It's pretty much just a basic CRUD app, nothing special. The upside of it is that it's a nice go-to source when people ask me for book recommendations.

I want to see native support for content-level cryptographic signatures in browsers. I also want it to be able to use a local GPG keyring, so I can validate against my chosen web of trust. JavaScript programs are just that---programs. When I use my package manager, or when I download a package online, I have a signature to verify against---either automatically (former) or manually (latter); https does not solve that.

This is different than the CA system, which verifies the _server_, not the content being served. A compromised server or successful MitM allows an attacker to modify data undetected.

This is also different from subresource integrity---it's a step in the right direction, but that only helps with third-party resources being loaded, and it doesn't at all help with cryptographic signatures.

Having signatures also helps with the case of programs constantly being updated outside the users' control. JavaScript programs are almost always ephemeral---they load with a webpage, and disappear when you leave, barring certain caching. "Updates" aren't really updates---you are re-downloading the program every time. So, hashes will change, and without cryptographic signatures, you can't be sure whether the new hash should even be trusted.

As a separate benefit, this support would also be useful for authentication online and asserting one's identity on e.g. social media, especially decentralized/federated services.
Of course. Over time they got milder and now it's basically nothing.

I don't think this is unusual[1]

I had it in there to emphasize how un-technically incorrect it is. Apparently people saw the word "offensive" and they didn't read the rest, so I took it out to add clarity. I forgot that HN doesn't provide a diff of edits, so went back and added a note in the comment that it was edited.

Edit: Edited this note to mention I updated the previous note with an edit note.
exactly, that's the downside to it.

it's really nice to have /controller/method/param/param routing out of the box, so the speed of 0 to MVP is quick, but on the other side, renaming a route sucks. unless you have a list of overrides in which case, may as well just use hand written routes from the get go

Oh, there are smaller vendors renting out Pascal architecture GPUs. Yet Amazon and Azure are stuck at prev-gen (M60), while Google is all the way back at prev-prev-gen (K80).

I strongly suspect that what he meant here was that he accepted the reasoning for asking all the big banks to participate. Not that he agreed that JPM needed the funding.

At my work we use them to host a static site and to serve streaming video content in China. We've also used the elastic compute service before. Their platform is surprisingly comprehensive and similar to AWS/Azure but is not perfect. Some parts of the interface do not have an English version and various services require "real-name" verification which requires a passport, etc. Even further some services require real-name verification from a Chinese national.

In addition, you must have an ICP license to use most if not all of the services they offer within mainland China. While Alibaba offers ICP registration, it is a partially political process and the requirements can change at any time (and can be different depending on who you are or who you talk to).

You must also consider the likelihood that your data and your users' data is exposed to the Chinese government. We only use Aliyun to serve users in China and are careful about what kind of IP we store there.
Just watch what Trump does with H2-Bs, that's where he hires foreign dishwashers, gardeners, and waiters for his resorts.

If Trump is largely using the presidency as a stature and money making scheme without truly divesting from his private companies, I expect you'll see a big difference depending on whether a particular piece of policy affects his own wallet.

Absolutely! Being able to watch our customers use our application in production environments, observing how they used it and how they perceived certain features has been so enriching.

We would have spent at least 10 times longer trying to get these insights otherwise, if there was even a possibility that we would arrive to the same conclusion.

It takes a little time to get over the fact that you are no longer building this product for yourself (unless you are building dev tools), but seeing customers use your product happily and telling you how much they value it is well worth the investment.
It's probably because at every step, we always think that only a strong AI could solve the puzzle. So, when someone manages to make a not-strong-AI solve it, we say they worked around the implicit rules and created a 'hack'.
Yes, there's only one display mode. But if anything it was better for displaying text than graphics.

The rows of pixels were laid out in a wacky fashion to make text rendering fast. The display resolution was 256x192. Being monochrome, the bitmap part of the display therefore used 32 bytes per row of pixels. You might expect that the second row would start at start_of_screen_address + 32. BUT NO! It was at start_of_screen_address + 256 because you can increment an address register by 256 faster than you can increment by 32 (on a Z80). Hahaha.

The result was that drawing graphics was a bit fiddly, but drawing 8-pixel wide character glyphs was easy and fast.

I can't believe the amount of engineering that has gone into making juicing a little bit more convenient. I imagine a teardown of a proper Breville juicer would reveal a much simpler machine - it's just a high powered motor that hooks on to a blade. You turn it on and off. No gears, no PCB, nothing. And the juice is leagues above this stuff. All because people can't be fucked to pick up some vegetables at the grocery store. Hilarious.

>The company was founded by Doug Evans, who has said his plan was to do for juicing what Steve Jobs did for computers. Dunn's letter noted that Evans was stepping back from daily operations but would remain a board member.

Probably because he realized that trying to be the Steve Jobs of juicing wasn't going to be as fruitful (heh) as initially thought, but still wants to be a part of any potential exit.

It's worth noting that, no matter where you go, the ICP licensing process is political.

We've had trouble with ours and essentially nobody has answers. The requirements can change without warning and no companies inside or outside of China have a surefire way to get, keep, and use an ICP license.
Wasn't Beats founded by a celebrity? I feel like this kind of goes against the spirit of the list.
I have a different view. Perhaps because I used to publish my own shareware. Today's current Patreon model is pretty close to how shareware used to work (for me).

Buying a license today is investing in future development. I wouldn't pay to use software that's not actively being maintained. Nor would I expect my customers to either.

Hi, I'm one of the founders of Quilt Data (YCW16). We built Quilt to bring package management to data. The goal is to create a community of versioned, reusable building blocks of data, so that analysts can spend more time analyzing and less time finding, cleaning, and organizing data.

Our general inspiration is to create a new kind of data warehouse based on code management practices that haven't yet reached the data domain.
