I agree with your point that it is wise for job seekers to consider these costs and that companies will take advantage of this. I also think it's a long-term mistake when companies do this.

It's a problem because you end up with an employee who is now being paid below market rate. This is most effective against those who are not employed, but once they are employed they will be hearing from recruiters or start looking for the next job while still on the payroll. Because this company is unlikely to provide aggressive enough raises, their employees will be receptive to new offers. A year or two out, this employee gives 2 weeks notice. Was the win of saving the company a couple $10k worth it? Most likely not.

If employers have trouble both finding and retaining talent, then this is a mistake to leverage this against unemployed candidates. If you don't have this problem you soon will once recruiters discover a company full of underpaid but qualified candidates. People leaving is also a signal to current employees that better deals exist somewhere else.
> Of course if your BTC is not real, but is held by an exchange such as Coinbase, how you get your BCC isn't at all clear.

Your BTC should still be "real", but the exchange holds the keys instead of you. Your point stands about it being unclear how you would access your BCC. If you aren't allowed access to your BCC, there's nothing preventing exchanges from dumping the BCC for cash as far as I can tell from a purely technical standpoint (IANAL).
That agents of private corporations can be granted the authority to conduct searches and interrogations is chilling.

Welcome to late-stage capitalism, where the state grants law enforcement powers to corporations in order to defend outdated business models and protect profit.
This, I believe, is the basis of the unjust enrichment claim. Coinbase technically owns the BTC in its wallets, and you can bet even though they aren't supporting it, they are receiving the associated BCC. They just aren't passing it on to the beneficial owners (their clients).
>I personally believe Mozilla has a highly capable core team on this, and to insinuate otherwise, to me, seems like accepting commercial interests of other browser makers as higher than FLOSS interests.

There's only one interest in the browser wars: prevail or perish. If Firefox cannot secure a large enough market share, it will be insignificant, lose funding, and die off.
Been waiting for this for ages!
I got one for my birthday. It's not a small computer, it's a great watch. If you want a watch, not a computer, you will like it.
It's a good way of looking at it. Another perspective, which makes this issue so complicated, is that we could compare this to: a company on the stock exchange splitting into two companies, investors should be getting shares in both companies, but the brokerage decides they are not going to recognize the second company and thus the investors don't get their shares in the second company.
During the earnings call, Cook mentioned that Apple pay is coming to Denmark, Finland, Sweden and UAE this year so maybe next year for the Netherlands?
I rarely need to directly interact with Java as a Clojure developer. It of course helps to know the host platform but I don’t think it’s a requirement for getting started with the language.

If it is a dealbreaker you can always stick to ClojureScript, but then you need to know the ins and outs of JavaScript.
I'm not here to defend Primitivism, but I think you should expect them to have considered that.
History would seem to suggest that it will be trivial for people with bad intentions to sway public opinion against encryption as they did in the past against things like cannabis, or the many books which have been banned. All it will take his associating encryption strongly with the despised group and that will be that for decades. I want to believe otherwise but it's happened with issues much simpler and much easier to understand than encrypted data.
I saw scrawled on the wall in one of the port-a-potties in the LAX TNC lot, "No Surge, No Drive".

Uber went on a campaign of hiring cabbies. I guess the fact that cabbies congregate and organize completely eluded Uber management.
iOS: docs are so good you'll find yourself reading way past what you actually need, just for fun. They're great. APIs generally well thought out. Examples current. Xcode's sometimes frustrating, but not that bad. Worst part's the signing process which remains prone to breaking for mysterious reasons (this is probably less true if you have just one project that's always current, but if you have historical projects that need upkeep and you bounce between different apps it's bad) and I still have to look up again how to get all the parts working if I go more than a few months without messing with it, because I can't seem to keep it in my head.

Android: most docs amount to half-assed Javadoc output. Longer-form sections frequently contain bad advice and outdated examples. When the examples aren't outdated they always seem to avoid demonstrating the particular use you need them to, as if by magic. APIs themselves sometimes weirdly bad (see, at least as of ~6 months ago, the Android google maps address search API being significantly worse than the Javascript one). New UI elements are frequently a duct-tape-heavy veneer over existing UI elements that lacks customization you'd expect to exist, unless you resort to reflection, and generally feel like something the summer interns threw together. Support for all that pretty Material UI stuff is laughable.

And while I know there isn't an iOS public bugtracker to compare it to and that that's also kind of a bad situation, the Android bugtracker is mostly useful as a source of either comedy or suicidal ideation, depending on your demeanor. You'll learn what I mean if you spend much time with Android.

For Android your best bet is to read everything Square (yes, that Square) has written about it, and follow their patterns and use their libraries wherever possible. See:

https://github.com/square/flow

https://github.com/square/retrofit

https://medium.com/square-corner-blog/simpler-android-apps-w...

and so on.
This is great to hear, glad to see good FOSS projects get the help they need. I only have a little bit of experience with Krita, but it's always been in my mind as a go-to if I ever need those tools.

It does seem a bit misleading, however, to not update the top bar to include the new funding (unless it just hasn't been updated yet). I know a lot of people will see the first blog post but not the second, and I hope the intention isn't to trick them into thinking they are still in a financial emergency (not that you shouldn't still donate)
I think you are going to love it. I also do a little abstract work and man there is nothing that really touches Krita for doing my kind of paintings. Just if you are coming from a non-painting program its going to give you a few fits at first.
Do you know what Y Combinator is? They are hugely successful and have enough operating funds to maintain more than one site like HN.

Even if it was just a simple hobby site by PG and it actually cost him a non-trivial amount of money to run/maintain, he is still doing it. He likes his hobby so he takes money from his job/investments and spends it on his hobby. Just like you when you buy your computer game, how are you affording it?
It's not a zinger. Almost all major media organizations are techno-reactionary and bio-conservative. They regularly run stories trying to convince people that, for instance, selectively-bred food crops are a Really Bad Idea.
We can stop with what's already illegal. It is not legal to incite violence. Videos demanding that the infidels be killed are not legal. Neither are videos calling for the death of people for any other reason.
Looks like this extension was developed by the same author as the "User Agent Switcher" extension (mentioned in the comments of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14888010).
Even the exhanges that support just about every currency out there still don't allow deposits/withdraws of BCC right now. There really is a lot of uncertainty around this whole situation, and due to the nature of a split a mistake in one of the coins can cause the user to lose both of them. It's not an area that I want my services rushing into and making mistakes.

If I were in Coinbase's position, I'd make sure that I'm doing everything to fully support and secure the currencies that I officially support, and maybe support some forks later if there is massive demand or there are more stable/secure methods of handling it. I mean right now the biggest "wallets" for BCC are rushed, filled with bugs, and have significant issues in some areas.

If they had said "we will allow you to withdraw BCC" and they didn't allow it right away, people would be significantly more upset (rightfully so in my opinion). At least the way they handled it they clearly and publicly announced that if you wanted to deal with BCC, you should move your funds out of Coinbase, and they gave multiple notifications over multiple days about this.

And mind you, they did offer a clear explanation of when they will offer BCC, They won't. That's about as clear as you can get. They might change that in the future, but you can't say they didn't warn you if they never do.
I completely disagree with the murders and most of what he is saying here for that matter.

But I also disagree with the idea that we can't constructively discuss what he was saying.

Censoring the ideas seems even more dangerous to me. For instance, I'd rather that an impressionable person read the ideas in public where sane people can openly critique them than have them only presented on batshit conspiracy sites.
"Nowadays every kid watches cartoons on YouTube".

Well, no.

(Here comes my 2cts)

Recently, at the age of seven, my son discovered how the remote control works. He was proud that he figured it all by himself.

And I was proud that my son discovered that at the age of seven and not at the age of two or three.

When my children wakes up in the morning they don't switch the tv on or any other screen.

They play.

They build stuff with Lego or wood game. They draw. They go in the garden to play with the dog or with their bikes.

Of course they sometimes play a game on my tablet or telephone, it's not 20th century anymore.

But they don't own any. And they don't choose when they can watch a screen. (Steve Jobs did the same with his children after all [0])

Despite that, I will start to teach them programming next school year, I've bought a PI for each, and I welcome the article ! It's just I think this is important, but not a priority for youngs.

How so? The scenario being modeled here is a user who wants to use an app but does not already have it.

The status quo is that they must download a 150MB bundle before being able to proceed.

The proposed app slicing will allow them to download maybe 10-20MB before being able to proceed, with additional components (up to the 150MB total) downloaded on-demand.

If the user is on an intermittent or slow connection this is still a significant improvement over the status quo: the user gets into the app much more quickly.

Additionally, if the user only uses a small slice of the app's functionality (which is the 90% use case), additional downloading can be deferred until the user connects to wifi, at which point the rest of the app can be downloaded over a fast and reliable connection, all seamlessly without the user having to worry about it.
I ran into the same thing this morning.

Any click to dom element or opening new tabs was popping up alerts/confirmations and/or attempting redirects.

Only reason I noticed it was web developer extension was weird console-logs that I had never seen coming from the extension.

Disabled and all the popups have disappeared.

I'm not sick of the lingo, I'm disappointed by how often simplistic platitudes are used as stand-ins for a well examined life and critical introspection. The growth mindset idea is often used to promote this rationalist American fantasy that "you can be anything if you just believe in yourself enough" which is dismissive real life conditions. Believing in one's self is great but I believe understanding what keeps others from being great is even more important, and the ideas like the "Growth Mindset" cause us look at the world in rosy glasses the keep us from seeing that's holding other people back.

This thing by AirBnB looks mostly like rubbish. One does not 'balance their bias' or 'consider the opposite' by asking themselves a few a cutesy questions. It happens through reading viewpoints contrary to yours, exposing yourself to people who are unlike you, having discussions with people who disagree with you. For example, one the questions to ask yourself suggested here is "Am I holding onto something that I need to let go of?"

I would posit that it's not asking that question to yourself that allows you to discover the answer. The same goes for questions like "Who might be impacted by what I’m designing?" If you haven't been exposed to people with color blindness, you're likely not going to consider them when you ask yourself that question. The question itself doesn't lead to increased awareness of the world, engaging with the world does.

Lastly, I think it really underlines how farcical this thing is by making "design" the subject of "Another Lens". The same looks to be true of their "shadow to light" thing. Rather than asking tough questions about their impact on housing markets, cost of real estate, gentrification and disruption of communities they offer questions like "Do I need to slow down?" It's great to question ourselves and approach work critically and thoughtfully but this is just a pantomime of contentiousness.
Nooooooo! I didn't know about this until now. I love soundcloud :((((
> Well you don't need to do that, because the left wing has a red light, right has green. So as long as you're comfortable with the very reasonable assumption that the plane isn't upside down, you know which direction it was going.

The overwhelming majority of astronomical images (i.e., those not taken with a DSLR or other consumer-like camera) are monochrome images. So in any single exposure you don't retrieve a RGB color image. The color images you see from all professional and many amateur telescopes are reconstructed from multiple exposures through different filters (e.g., the one in the syfy.com article). So you would not see a red light and a green light – you just see two monochrome streaks with different brightness. Planes pass through a telescope field of view relatively quickly, so you most likely only see it in a single exposure.

There was no discussion. They systematically deleted comments that disagreed or that (correctly) interpreted Makerbot's comments as them going closed source. I personally had one deleted for pointing out that the "fundamentalists" were far politer and less damaging than Bre Pettis's own public shaming of newcomers to the open hardware community who merely had trouble understanding the proper format they should release their hardware files in, and that politely holding someone to their own standards isn't really fundamentalism. Suggestions from others that comparing opponents to terrorists is not in fact contributing to polite disagreement got similarly short shrift.
I would have thought that the target market for this service are the sort of people who would just run PiHole at home, or set up their own VPS if they really wanted? Most non-technical people I know are just happy with an ad blocker extension so they won't be interested.

I'm interested to see how this pans out.

Agree, there's definitely another hurdle of perception if you're from another country. But I still think it's doable. It always comes down to trust - how can I make sure that if I work with you, you're going to commit code that I won't have to do a ton of cleanup on?

So, you combat that by :

1) Be visible. Have code up on Github that I can see.

2) Offer a month to month contract. 15 day notice for termination. This gives you and the company an easy way out if things don't work out and the added bonus of not having to deal with messy tax issues across country borders.

3) Flying is only expensive if your hourly rate doesn't justify it. Honestly, if you're approaching a company with some incredibly low number, e.g. $15/hour, even if that's a decent wage for your country, as a manager, I see that as a signal of cheap, inferior labor. Increase your rate, e.g. $100/hr, so that you could fly if you had to.
Right, "as much as possible" implying that there are cases where this is not possible. Which is more upstream-compliant than RHEL, but not 100% "stop doing this", which is the opinion of the comment I was replying to.

From the class-action lawsuit website "FAQ":

> Coinbase allowed users to withdraw BTC prior to the hard fork

> The process of transferring Bitcoin can be complex and potentially very risky even for experienced users. Additionally, creation of a new account or wallet on a different exchange is often a lengthy and difficult process. While Coinbase did suggest to users that they could move their BTC to a different wallet in order to obtain BCH, the procedure can be seen as prohibitive by a significant portion of users. Finally, many users reported slow or non-responsive site when trying to move their BTC from Coinbase prior to the lock-down that preceded the hard fork.

First, transferring founds from one wallet to another is trivial in Bitcoin, and in fact it is easier than any other money transfer method that I know of. Second, if it really was that difficult then why they are, at the same time, accepting donations using Bitcoin and Ethereum on the same website?. Third, "Bitcoin Cash" is an altcoin, and anyone can create a similar fork from the Bitcoin blockchain, should Coinbase support them all?? because that would be ridiculous.

I can not believe these people are serious...

> The call for proof on individual cases is, of course, a valid one

In this context though, it is because the headline indicates that it is a proven fact. However, it is not, it is an assumption directly from Dotcom. I think there would be no issue if it were more clearly stated as an allegation.
Coinbase has the keys for them, they have stated that if they ever accessed those coins they would make them available to the wallet holders.
The greatest value of a music recommendation engine, IMO, is cross-genre discovery.

The history of recording industry "Genres" has close ties to cultural segregation. Pandora's Music Genome approach is optimized to break the genre barrier.

It'd be interesting to see how many "Down tempo" songs shared characteristics with "R&B", for example. I think the Author's approach could still be applied.
I'm going to guess it's not how it's supposed to work, since "A Federal Court judge would later declare the Anton Piller order in this case 'unlawful...'"

This is PiHole[1] as a service without any mention about pricing. You can buy a Pi for ~£10 (one off price) and install this for your own network in a few minutes.

Putting a few of their numbers together seems to imply a read bandwidth of 24 Tbps (330 terabytes = 330*8 terabits/tape, tape length = 1098 meters => 2.4 terabits/meter, tape speed = 10 m/s => 24 Tb/s). Which to me is way more interesting than the total storage size. Of course I have no idea what you could actually feed that into, it far exceeds CPU memory bandwidth, let alone SCSI or PCIE. Do these things not actually run at full speed for more than a fraction of a second?
