Windows 10 has a major design flaw which compromises your customers privacy and security. You call it Telemetry and it can't be disabled completely(definitely a bug! Nobody would make such a stupid decision, amiright?).

Please send me further instructions on how I can claim my 250k.

Which is exactly what they're trying to change - both with "conventional" offerings like Android and Cloud, as well as with what they call "moonshots".
Not only are you dependent on your manager, your often only able to secure significant raises at the cost of other team member raises. The bucket is allocated to your team based on a company standard, with nothing connected to your performance, then that has to be divided, which they often claim is performance based...
I am new to HN (less than a month) and I have not seen any negative issue. I have noticed several grayed out comments etc but have not noticed a tendency toward such. On a number of the comments that are gray I have not found anything wrong with them. This may be a result of the down-voting. It I am just not that familiar with the down-voting aspects of HN as of yet. Additionally, I don't really comment on things of a political nature but have commented on several of the sexual harassment stories etc without issue.

I think overall the active HNers a great.
Guess that looks legit too.
Tho I like the other one because they lack any social media presence, which would fit with the theme ;)
I get what you are saying, but I still don't see much of an issue here.

The ultimate decision to actually _implement_ all of those changes in those existing open source projects lies with the project maintainers/owners.
thank you! I was very confused... twice...
It's not stupid. They do own something, an extraordinarily valuable something. What they own is as real as a billboard company. They own as much as a catalog company (for sale aggregation) in a past era might have.

What they own is as real as anything a car insurance company owns. It's as real as crypto-currencies. It's as real as Amazon.com's store, which is now 1/2 inventory not owned by Amazon; or eBay for that matter, or any other offline auction service that has ever existed. It's as real as cloud computing.

There are dozens of other common business examples, from the present and past.
In the long run this hurts even the homeowners. They can never move and they're slaves to the needs of their home. At that point the home is equally a liability as well as an asset; if so much of your worth is tied up in it that you are destroyed if anything happens to it, isn't that slavery not freedom? Sure they may feel some selfish benefit if housing prices go up but it's a terrible prisoner's dilemma - everyone else's home values are going up as well; so you can never sell or move. For people that have a home because they need a place to live and not as an investment, that's not wealth, it's just a number on paper.
What's your opinion on Haxe?
The significant part of argument handling in Perl5 is that @_ is a list of aliases to the arguments. You usually see add1 or add2 style argument processing because nice named arguments that are a copies of the function parameters.

add3 shows how to access the aliased arguments directly.

# break the aliasing of @_ and make undef into 0.
sub undef_to_zero { @_ = map { $_ // 0 } @_; }

sub math_stuff {
# call with identical @_
&undef_to_zero;
# Do math without undef warnings.
my $sum = 0;
$sum += $_ for @_;
}

# Alter all arguments in calls by repeating them
sub fatten {
$_ = "$_" x 2 for @_;
}

$foo = "abc";
@bar = ( 1, 2, 4 );
foo($foo, @bar);
say $foo; # abcabc
say for @bar # 11
# 22
# 44

It's still insane to me that MtGox never moved coins to a wallet or acknowledged the breach until long after it was too late. You would think if you have billions of dollars sitting somewhere and you realize someone is starting to take them you would, you know, do something.
While I don't completely disagree with you in the large discrepancy between the two, I believe it's a gross over-simplification to state Priceline owns nothing. In the same over-simplification you could state that newspapers are worthless as a middleman to the actual events that happen. However what you are actually accessing is talent, resources, and services to compile that list of recent events every day (or in the case of Priceline: hotels, airlines, rental cars.)
It's been this way for much of history. Middle men, such as merchants before the industrial age, were the wealthy class. They were also despised by many who thought it was 'unfair'.
Every company I've ever worked for nickels and dimes my pay. If I didn't have to fight for a market/above-market salary, good benefits, and regular raises commensurate with what I'm adding to the company with my increased tenure and effectiveness, I'd gladly stay.

But it never works out that way. It's painfully simple -- you get what you pay for.
> Look, not every paper is worth publishing.

Many more results should be documented than currently are, though, including negative results.

But I agree that changing p-value thresholds is unrelated to that.
This reminds me of Cheech and Chong's santa clause special... Where Cheech is explaining Santa, and Chong's like oh yeah..I met that guy, we used to play music together... lol

Pretty sure getting a prototype of one of these would have to work for them and sign NDA's, etc...or buy off the black market for millions if someone stole one...
Didn't Google even disable backspace to go back in Chrome somewhen last year? Or did they revert that again?

And well, there's many keyboards out there with no right Alt, meaning that you have to use two hands to execute that shortcut. So, I really don't think, it's a good idea to try to force people away from using backspace, as bad of a key as it is to be using for this...
When were search suggestions incorporated into the UX?
>Google entered the self driving cars research, and we have yet to see them driven around.

You see their working prototypes flying around mountain view all the time. And, they've been transparent with their progress.

People have been working on this since the 80s.
We should also be wondering about the lack of incentive to be a producer/owner when being a middleman is so comparatively lucrative. If capital and talent starts shifting to middlemen in pursuit of higher returns it could cause a lot of markets to stagnate with only the big players having the resources to make a profit off of producing.
No, one of these methods takes seconds to minutes for a frame to render. One takes a lot of CPU and a bunch are letting the GPU doing the work. Not to mention that a few examples run och very specific hardware only (PS2, GBA etc).
As per their most recent (unaudited) financial statements released May 9, 2017, they had almost $22 billion in assets. The large majority of them ($13 billion) are investments, $2.4 billion in cash and a paltry $400,000 in property plant and equipment. So from this perspective, they are really an investment company that happens to let you compare prices for things.

However, financial statements don't consider data as something of value, or brand names (unless they are purchased), so the company might be "worth" much more than this.

I wonder how often it happens that a company lies (or stretches the truth) about already knowing about a vulnerability to avoid paying a bounty. If it happens even sometimes, the 10% might provide additional incentive for researches to target Microsoft. Even if they don't get a full payout, at least they get something.
It also encourages researchers to do research, by making it less likely they'll do a pile of research only to be told "sorry, we already found this, you get nothing". Right now, pursuing a bounty is a risky proposition; this makes it less risky.
The merchants in this are the airline companies that have planes and sell services. Priceline is like the person that owns the bazaar that the merchants sell in. I'd wager that person has historically been wealthier than the merchants, too.

Perl6 (with the MoarVM backend at least) should have proper async IO on both network and file IO.

jnthn (one of the primary contributors to MoarVM) has a write up about recent work done to improve the system here: https://6guts.wordpress.com/2017/06/08/sorting-out-synchrono...
whoa, I never thought about chemical contact from receipts. Would love to see things go the way of Square where my itemized receipt is just emailed to me.
> Which "add" instruction?

I believe the intention was whichever one matched the types. If you're adding 2 16-bit ints, it would use the 16-bit add instruction, if it existed or a larger one (then, in this case, cast it back down to 16-bits when appropriate). If it's a floating-point type, it would get a floating point add.

[Edit: The compilers usually wouldn't provide a 16-bit int type if they didn't have the instructions to deal with it.]

> What if the operands are of different types?

C89 has well defined promotion rules. You'd convert the operands appropriately, then use the equivalent add.

> What if the CPU doesn't have an "add" instruction?

Then it would probably end up as a function call to a system specific function. Either way, it wouldn't do anything particularly unexpected for the system.

> If you want assembly language, you know where to find it.

C was originally just used as a high-level assembly language. I suspect people found it easier to reason about, even if it basically used the system instruction's behaviour.
standing was cool, but nowhere near as good for me as my current reclining setup. With reclining, I'm far more comfortable to work long hours, have more energy for other things, sleeping better when I get to bed, and I get outdoors to exercise. Overall feeling better than any other seating/standing arrangement I've had.
I picked up on that too. It's the biggest failing "high up" (their own arse) many academics have.
Yeah, good point. "Hush money" may have been a little too harsh.

Without having first hand information on this incident, I do think it is interesting that he is stepping down as CEO in order to not be a distraction after allegations of sexual harassment but is stepping down to President and will be acting CEO while a replacement is found. Is this really a solution to avoid being a distraction to BetterWorks?

Has there been an internal investigation? I would hate to see someone step down who has done nothing wrong, etc. Are these actions being taken while an investigation is being conducted? If so, then it makes more sense.
That's assuming that the master password is really strong. Otherwise you could bruteforce it by testing millions of passwords ("password", "secret", short ones and so on). I assume most people will choose somewhat weak master passwords.

With this scheme ANY site where you register can attempt to brute-force your master password offline. I fail to see how it's a good scheme.
you'll be happy to know that the sigils (@) don't change in perl6 for access.
Priceline has generated $7 billion in net income the prior three fiscal years combined.

They may be overvalued, however they blatantly are providing an extremely valuable service. And if it were easy to replace or compete with (ie something of low actual value), the airlines etc would have already cut out Priceline and would keep the $2+ billion in annual profit for themselves (they've tried and failed repeatedly to cut out Priceline, which further speaks to its immense value to consumers).

I'm more surprised that you're holding up Tesla as a counter example to fluff valuations given their present valuation versus other car companies with actual immense profit such as GM or BMW.
Most of them are of the form "p > 0.05" or
p < 0.01", hence the peaks. You really need to filter down to the red "equals" samples, but apparently they're pretty uncommon in papers to begin with. The only real info from that graph seems to be that geography/business/economics/psychology/sociology allow "p > 0.10" relatively more often, and that there's no data for the economics category alone (from Twitter, apparently the data source is not as good).

This is a better pic:

I tried to switch back this past fall when I moved to the city. I wanted to be able to get directions using Siri. I thought for sure they had worked out its kinks by end of 2016, years after its initial release.

I lasted less than a day. It had no idea where I was at times, even on major roads. It would more often tell me to turn after the turn than before it.

I don't know anyone who has used both Google Maps and Apple Maps who would call the latter "quite good", so I suppose it's relative. If all I knew were Apple Maps, I'd probably agree with you.
I agree with this, but when I'm working I'm usually reclining with my current reclining setup. overall feeling much better regardless of working regular or long hours.
Org Mode stored on Dropbox.

At any given moment I have two "running" files - one being a general tasklist, and one being this month's notes.

On the general tasklist I maintain my own, much more detailed, copy of what's in the issue tracker we use. I rotate that file every few months, copying over unfinished tasks. I also use it to record any bug and weird thing I spot with the application, if I don't have time to investigate it, so that I won't forget it and can come back to it later.

The monthly notes file has entries for each work day. Each entry follows the same template:

* <2017-07-26 wed>

** Things I want to accomplish
*** TODO A task
Some notes under it.

** Other work notes
This is my scratch area. Here I just type when I need to talk to myself.

** End-of-day mind dump
Here I dump the state of my head at the end of the workday, so that
I can pull it in quickly the next day.

** Jira for today :jira:
Here I note down task numbers I want to log time on - at least if
they don't match the commit log 1:1.

** Insight from today :insight:
Here I try to note down something important or insightful I discovered
that day.

** Things that should be automated :automate:
A most recent addition to the template - if something is repetitive
and annoys me, it goes here.

The template is evolving, and I'm not always consistent in actually using it, but I'm trying - and it proves very helpful when I'm dealing with a difficult problem, or for some non-work reasons have problems concentrating. It's also my place for writing down stuff I wouldn't bother (or wouldn't dare) post on the issue tracker.
Great book. I wish I had this when I was straight out of Uni with a COMSC degree.
Maybe not useful (to anyone else at least), but I've built a couple of small wheeled robots with cameras to do some experiments with Computer Vision.

Unless you're doing computationally intensive tasks, I find a Raspberry Pi 3 is overkill. If you go with the cheaper models like one of the low end Orange Pi's, you don't mind dedicating them to projects, even if the project is pretty useless.
Not the commentor but I imagine those that are willing to find out the name of the hotel after they pay (to save some money) are not the type of customer that orders room service, get's spa treatments etc etc. Basically the opaque booking customer doesn't result in upsells during their stay.
I think their universal quantum computer (to be announced later this year) could accelerate fusion research even more, as I imagine it could more accurately simulate the atom reactions and experiments on it. Practical quantum computers may just be what we were missing to finally be able build working fusion reactors.

The millions of possible "solutions" and algorithms for working fusion reactors may be what has made fusion research so expensive and fusion reactors seem so far away. Quantum computers may be able to cut right through that hard problem, although we may have to wait a bit more until quantum computers are useful enough to make an impact on fusion research. I don't know if that's reaching 1,000 qubits or 1 million qubits.
Don't feel too bad about this - Android Auto is nice, but it still has a lot of drawbacks and deficiencies. I just switched to a car without it and realized I don't miss it at all.
I'm a bit confused by the author's position here.

They complain about MS "forcing" Win10 down their throat, and then again about them not supporting Clover Trail and so not being able to force Creators down their throat.

It all feels a bit incoherent to me. I mean sure we all love a good incoherent rant about how Microsoft are the devil, but I really do have to question why some people are so fanatically anti-Microsoft, and yet somehow still end up owning Microsoft devices.

That's definitely a very Ronald Coasian answer! We should start that lobby to get Ronald Coase accepted into neoliberalism or novoliberalism or whatever comes next.

I purposely didn't give the answer because I think there are possibly other explanations besides transaction costs and regulation (probably the more friedman-esque go-to). The reason I like his papers a lot is because of his questions. He has a Darwinian sort of approach. Why does the moth have such a strange beak. Lets look for the matching orchid.

I think (don't know, speculation) labour markets are special in other ways, not just high transaction costs. A company is a society. People have loyalties and identity tied into it. We are a social animal in very fundamental ways. Our psyche handles the intricate nuances of human cooperation by default. Things happen in a team of people that know each-other, like each other or just think of themselves as part of a group that I think are fundamental to this question. I don't think transaction costs sums it up. I suspect group-oriented work plays a bigger role. Also employer-specific skillsets, though that probably can be lumped into transaction costs.

Incidentally, I feel that "basic economic theory" tends to acknowledge transaction costs mostly as a caveat to basic models: "assuming no/low transaction costs," more often that actually accounting for it. I think this is also true for "economist hat" thinking. Coase complained about this a lot. Coase theorem is (at least to me) taught as a theory about bargaining and contracts solving problems like externalities. For Coase, the caveat was the "theorem." In the absence of transactions costs blah blah pareto optimals. externalities... He thought it was obvious that the pareto efficiency doesn't actually happen in reality, externalities continue. Therefore transaction costs must be high.

To me, this is the big difference between Friedman and Coase. Friedman's a pure theory guy. The main opposition to this view today is a theory-less econometrics/evidence based "wonkish" analysis. Coase is a middle ground. Theories make predictions. In some cases they are good. In cases where they're not, we need theoretical expansion. Neoliberals tend to reach for "distortion" as an explanation far too often, and selectively IMO.

(we're really in the weeds here, sorry)
Not really as HA on physical hardware would be more like 4 machines if you factor in DB plus 2 stacks of switches. But really if you're running HA then you'd probably want 3 web servers rather than 2 so you can perform maintenance and still have redundancy. Which means you'd also need 2 load balancers and some method of code deployment, which will usually mean at least one other box or SAN. If your application is database heavy with lots of reads then you might also want memcache / redis. Or maybe other caching servers like varnish. Bare in mind that if your site is slow and unresponsive then it's as good as unavailable.

This is all in one physical location as well so you'd need to double this spec again.

Then once you've built all of that, you'd probably want to put it behind a CDN as leased lines are expensive.

Only then you're starting to reach feature parity with what I've described in my first post and there will be lots of kit I've not even touched on.

However even if you do just run 2 VMs (web and db) on each of the 2 physical boxes, and don't need redis etc. You still need to double your spec just for the multi-region point I raised earlier.
Main discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14858495.
Yeah, that kind of surprised me too. I would have expected a move to Node, or some other javascript framework.

I did think the quotes from Zed Shaw and Paul Watson were good. Zed's point, that Rails and Django are server-rendered frameworks written before the client-side, front end era, does sum up why I think interest in Rails is declining.

And Paul Watson's comment explains why, in spite of this, I'd still be inclined (for now) to use Rails for a lot of projects. If you're mainly dealing with web forms, in a light to medium traffic app, you don't necessarily get much from the front-end heavy frameworks. They add complexity, and can slow (bog) you down.
Reliable cleaning staff is definitely the biggest challenge.

It's all too easy for unsupervised people to flake out hours before you have some renters with high expectations due to move in. Some may have the courtesy to let you know beforehand, others after the fact, and still others will bill you anyway.

Others may not have a consistent work ethic (spit and wipe a few spots and spend the next three hours checking Facebook).

Getting the reliability numbers up is very expensive. I'm starting to see maintenance staff take before-and-after pictures as part of their work.
Google allows you to train models, and I engaged with customer support when I used their google cloud platform. I agree their other services have terrible customer service, but it seems like when you start paying out, it actually exists.
