For now, HipChat Cloud will continue to be supported, but eventually we will encourage all HipChat Cloud customers to upgrade to Stride.
At Uni, I smoked and I would select smokes over food or rent any day. I guess not having a job wouldn't make me feel any different.

What good is a tin of beans compared to killing the craving for a smoke for an hour? No contest.

The point is that I can't decide what other people should value culturally. And I certainly shouldn't send in mercenaries to "secure cultural artifacts".

It would be acceptable to offer to buy the ones you intend to preserve, or to donate to a museum to preserve the ones they see as important. Archaeology at gunpoint isn't good for the artifacts, isn't good for the people who had them, and isn't good for the people that take them. The best you could do in that vein would be to create a new cultural artifact featuring an adventurer-archaeologist that pilfers the important artifact you would like to preserve as the main plot MacGuffin. And to not make it about stupid crystal-skulled aliens.
> They have less than 50% of market share, so no.

They have the 2nd/3rd biggest share (and not like the first one has over 50% either). Sounds major to me.
The best hypothesis is that they removed the headphone jack when they didn't need to, so people would lose their minds in 2016. Notice how there's still space for the jack in the 7.

So in 2017, when they actually need to remove the headphone jack (probably because the phone is more thin than is actually useful), it won't be as big of a deal.

They're not going to say that in their keynote.
The north won the war. And now they get people from the losing states to fight their new wars for them. Same thing happened with e.g. the Romans getting auxiliary soldiers from conquered lands to fight for them, or the Brits getting soldiers from India to fight in the world wars. Typical imperialism.
I think that as a society, we have learned that a market works best if it is free.

If we think there should be cheaper flights, then that is a service that we should provide via means of the government.

If price-increases are allowed during severe shortages, then people would make a business of "pre-stocking" disaster-prone areas so that there is enough to satisfy this increased demand (at even reasonable prices, not extreme ones). Sounds like a perfectly reasonable business model.

But pre-stocking, specifically the long-term storage of supplies (as most preppers will probably note), is costly. At that point, it's not price gauging, just simply the cost that that person/business spent trying to store the supplies in preparation for the natural disaster. Heck, it might even be something that certain businesses can can incorporate into their existing warehousing/storage facilities. But that won't happen unless they're allowed to charge normal rates during normal periods, and increased ones during shortages. Because they'll simply go out of business, being the shop that sells the "priciest" fuel and water.

But, to be honest, this really should be the responsibility of the government (while it claims to protect us). Price-gauging would then not even be an issue, because the government should be pre-stocking disaster-prone areas already. I think that's who I'll reserve my moral indignation for, and not the price-"gaugers".
Given the existing laws, stores engaging in price gouging essentially are a black market. You don't stop trying to manage a disaster just because there's no perfect solution.
You can't think of any perverse effects on distribution that price gouging can have?
That explains why I when I use npm I have 24k files in my deleted files folder only for npm to fail.. after which I remember to use yarn
Who's to say that those in most need can afford the gouging? If the price is allowed to flex based on demand, only the rich could afford the service, and money != need.
And this after they just got done doing a massive rearchitect of the self-hosted HipChat. Now I wonder where they plan on going with that...
> Marijuana high decreases short term memory

There haven't been enough studies to actually prove this. Most show an issue while being high (and many studies combine marijuana usage with alcohol), but nothing that directly shows negative long-term effects. If this study is held up by their further human trials they mention, then it would indicate that pop-culture is probably wrong.

Because the iPhone 7 was released a year ago, and people are generally over it now. I say people, not enthusiasts. Now, the feature can be released in the iPhone 8 and it's not a big deal.
The iPhone 7 is a small iteration over the iPhone 6S where as the iPhone 8 is a new design. I think they expect the iPhone 8 to be a much more important/larger release and that is probably true.
If water is excluded from market forces and artificially stays at the same price, then one overcautious person could buy it all. Leaving nothing for the others.
To add to that, they already have an engineering office in Tempe.

I suspect both Phoenix and Tempe will be strong contenders.

Positives:
- Affordable housing
- Affordable corporate real estate
- Construction boom in both cities
- Local governments interested in wooing corporations

Downsides:
- No deep CS university pipeline
- No strong tech presence, complicating hiring
- Will need to offer incentives to get people to move
- Public transport is lacking
Unlikely. One of the requirements is daily direct flights to/from Seattle. Indy does technically have that but it's exactly 1 flight with poor timing for business considerations. They list a few other destinations as must-have nonstop flights, but I'm not sure how good those are. They're also putting a lot of stress on public transit, which is pretty abysmal in Indiana. They also don't want to sacrifice on some of their values surrounding renewable energy, recycling, composting, etc. I lived in Indiana for over 10 years and can't say I've ever seen a compost bin at a restaurant, and can count on one hand the number of places with recycling bins (for public use anyway, most places would recycle their boxes at least).

That said, moving some place in the midwest would be very interesting. Amazon has a lot of employees that are from those areas, so if they want to start moving teams it would probably not be too hard.
It is from IFLS. All headlines there are offensively inane. And I'm honestly surprised IFLS is on the front page of HN.
That depends heavily on how bad the person controlling your Jira configuration is. If they are bad it is pure torture. If they are good it is tolerable.
My iPhone 6's headphone jack died on me because I run a decent amount and sweat too much into it. I purchased an iphone 7+ and have been loving the waterproofing (it's great to be able to run with a great camera), except I cracked the glass on the rear camera and now am no longer water proof. So waterproofing/durability is really important to some consumers.
So you are just picking a different population. How is that more efficient than the free market other than making you feel good and compassionate.
One thing Slack could improve is handling this when following multiple slacks. At least with the windows client it seems that I need to occasionally click through all of them to see if there are messages for me. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature (could be some attempt to minimise resource usage).

For just keeping track of what's happening around, I would love a view showing all the messages across all (or selected) Slacks/channels.
The DACA EO happened in 2012, not 2010. It's not very interesting to argue whether Congress should have tackled a particular issue earlier than later; we could go round and round on that ad infinitum.

>For a wide range of common statistical tests, transitioning from a P value threshold of α = 0.05 to α = 0.005 while maintaining 80% power would require an increase in sample sizes of about 70%.

This proposal is a great pragmatic step forward. Like they say in the paper, it doesn't solve all problems, but it would be an improvement with reasonable cost and tremendous benefits.

>Such an increase means that fewer studies can be conducted using current experimental designs and budgets. But Fig. 2 shows the benefit: false positive rates would typically fall by factors greater than two. Hence, considerable resources would be saved by not performing future studies based on false premises.
Not to mention that drug use tends to push you into con college (prison) and you can't find a good job after that.

Monopoly Without a Monopolist: An Economic Analysis of the Bitcoin System [pdf]
What Is Money by Frederic Bastiat
This still doesn't feel satisfying. Part of me is still not really happy with the philosophical foundations of statistics. Does anyone know of any legitimately competing theory to statistics? Maybe something that doesn't rest on the same types of mathematics that Fisher and crew relied on when all this started? Pure mathematics has come a long way in the last fifty years but little has seeped into the applied world.
Then isn't it a proof that the economic theory doesn't work in practice? We're talking two economy seats paying the price to charter the whole jet: https://www.privatefly.com/us/private-jets/large-airliner-hi...
Component programming with ranges (2013)
You're not really changing anything, though; you're basically saying that instead of indexing to position N, you're going to take an iterator and advance it N positions, and somehow say that's a completely different operation. It isn't a different operation, and doesn't change anything about what you're doing.

If you want to argue that there should be ways to iterate over graphemes and index based on graphemes, then that is a genuine difference, but splitting semantic hairs over whether you're indexing or iterating doesn't get you a solution.
The technology presented here is not a paradigm shift, it is merely another way of capturing CO2. What is remarkably about it (compared to other, known techs is that it does not require an enormous amount of biomass. But by their own admission it is no really cheap technology: <100$ for 1t of CO2. [1]

But there are several fundamental problems that remain:
1. Storage: CO2 has to be stored safely for an (on human scale) indefinite amount of time.
2. Scale: The amount of CO2 recaptured is gigantic (see other comments).
3. The problem of investment without immediate benefit. On a national level, the money needed to deploy this technology at a large scale is basically "lost" for the immediate future, the (positive) effects will be felt later on. This is similar to the situation right now, where we "only" have to reduce the amount of climate-forcing gases, but cannot be bothered to really weigh in on the problem.
4. Most importantly: this kind of technology is already factored in in current mitigation scenarios. So on top of reducing emissions (close) to 0, deployment of carbon-capturing technology is a prerequisite for remaining inside anything like the 2°C climate change by the end of the century. [2]

So the problem is one of framing for this technology. It is not so much a game-changer but more of a sight of hope that maybe given an heroic effort in emission-reduction, this technology might help to achieve the internationally agreed upon goals for climate-change. Hence it is often seen as a kind of moral hazard, when portrayed as a means to happily keep on emitting.

It's the store's unwillingness to do the obvious thing and limit sales of water given the sharp rise in demand in the face of a life threatening disaster.

Resources aren't rushed to disaster areas in response to profits - they're rushed in response to the disaster. See FEMA, USRC, etc.
Please don't assume that the Lisp compiler on some Symbolics could not output micro code. It could, IIRC.

But it was not what a Lisp developer normally would do, he/she would use the compiler in such a way that it outputs the usual machine code, not micro code.
MediaWiki now has a decent WYSIWYG editor (you can demo it on wikipedia), but IMO, it's still way too unfriendly for people that don't know their way around markup language. Confluence has a nice balance of ease when you need it and flexibility when you don't.

I was a huge proponent of IRC but the lack of developments the past... decades has killed it for me. Discord is straight up better. Yes it's proprietary, but no, IRC is just not a good alternative at this point, it hasn't kept up.

And I love to death what the IRCCloud guys are doing but it's just not good enough to use as a proper communication tool especially in a company.

Admitting this is the first step to fixing it. If you want open source alternatives to win, you can't get stuck telling people the things they like aren't worth supporting. I like the fact that I can do text, voice and video in the same tool; that I have a searchable message history; that I don't have to manage the server myself; that I can make interesting bots with a webhook system and a websocket API; that I can interact with people programmatically over an OAuth2 API; that I can use markdown in messages, embed files and youtube videos, pin messages; that I can manage large communities using a thorough group and permission system (I'm managing a Discord server that has 20k+ people on it, this is stuff that can't be done over IRC quite simply).

And you know what, I like the custom emojis too.

Quassel isn't good enough (speaking as someone who loves quassel). IRCCloud isn't good enough (speaking as someone who loves IRCCloud and heartily recommend everyone here to support them by buying a subscription).

I used to say: Our best chance is that Hangouts is open sourced. Nowadays, I'm rooting for Matrix but I think our best chance is that Discord is open sourced. These protocols, they get developed with very little awareness of what people actually want -- they copy features left and right, try to either support everything and end up a bloated or unusable plugin mess (XMPP) or support nothing and end up unpopular. Most of them are toys. In the end, we need serious players, passionate about creating not just protocols but good interfaces to them. This is hard to find in open source.

> Well, economic theory would ordinarily indicate that supply would increase to meet demand.

That's precisely it, it's just a theory and it doesn't apply here.

How are they supposed to increase supply of bottled water during a category 5 hurricane?
Increased prices would mean that it's then profitable to "stop" normal flights in other regions. Then divert all those planes to the disaster-area so that you can "take advantage" of those horrible prices. E.g. By letting the price increase, you're also incentivizing private entities into aiding in the relief effort.

The other moral argument for it is that this increase in "supply" at a higher price, also reduces the load on free/volunteer/government-provided relief and evacuation efforts. E.g. Rich/Wealthy/Middle-class people pay more so they don't have to worry about being evacuated and because they want to spend more money on mitigating risk. Those people then won't need to be transported out on the congested freeways and such.
That kind of makes sense, though. You probably can't keep up with healthy people if you're in pain bad enough to require opioids.
For something as ephemeral as instant message, there's no real lock-in to speak of. The migration path is:

1) Grant your users access to the new tool

2) There is no 2.

Pain only comes when you're storing organizational knowledge in an instant message tool.
Drug use is a symptom of lack of opportunities rather than the cause.

American men are using opioids because of the war on men waged by the elite and business elite.

When women are favored for jobs while men are being discriminated against and can't get jobs, then they turn to drugs.

Drug use is a result of lack of opportunities, it doesn't cause the lack of opportunities.

Look at what happened to china in the 1800s with their opium crisis when their society was attack by european powers.

Look at what happened to russia in the 1990s when lack of opportunities cause their male population to resort to drugs and alcohol.

This is a problem caused by bloomberg and the media.

When men are systematically disadvantaged in job prospects, when men are attacked as rapists in college campus and when the media wages a war against men in america, you can't offload the blame to "opioids".

The problem in america isn't opioids. It's the media and the elite.

It's noise from the whistle itself that drives dogs crazy, not it's pitch.
The reason this isn't basically a dog whistle is because a normal whistle produces a bunch of random annoying noise. If you continually blow a normal whistle, most things that can hear it will be annoyed. So, a dog whistle is simply a normal annoying whistle that humans can't hear.
This, on the other hand, isn't a bunch of random annoying noise. If humans could hear it, it would just sound like someone speaking. There's no reason to believe that dogs would be especially annoyed.
Thanks, we added a "Could" and a "the" to help clarify.
>In both cases the California standard was higher, improving the environment and saving lives.

Not the lives of the people who would have been saved by safety features in a car they weren't driving because they couldn't afford it or because the implementation of a particular safety feature was a lower priority than the implementing a second variant of emissions equipment and calibration.

Stuff like this is fairly zero sum.

It's more that I get tired of people declaring that indexing and length operations need to be completely and utterly and permanently forbidden and removed, and then proposing that they be replaced by operations which are equivalent to indexing and length operations.

Doing these operations on sequences of code points can be perfectly safe and correct, and in 99.99%+ of real-world cases probably will be perfectly safe and correct. My preference is for people to know what the rare failure cases are, and to teach how to watch out for and handle those cases, while the other approach is to forbid the 99.99% case to shut down the risk of mis-handling the 0.001% case.
> without diving too deep into the `curl https | sh` debate :)

So now that it's clear to me that it is possible to do an on-prem install, I decided to look at your curl->sh install script.

You guys are basically justifying the fears of our security folks. After grabbing sudo from the user, without asking permission, you pkill NTPD (!), add pool.ntp.org (never mind that we may run our own NTP servers, specifically to remove Internet-based dependencies to lower risk...) and start NTPD again, invoke an install-pip script from a server you don't control (https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py) without attempting to see if maybe there's a local package of pip available, and then install the EPEL repository. Which is, you know, a perfectly fine repository, but there's a reason why the software included in it isn't included with the official Red Hat repositories and so adding the EPEL repository without asking permission to do so can wreak serious havoc on servers with auto-update scripts installed with the intent to only grab security fixes for installed software.

Why can't you guys just open-source some real packaging and respect the sysadmins who you want to be your customers?

> Upgrades are completely automatic in Userify

Most enterprises who are paying sysadmins to manage their server environments do so at least in part because they want their sysadmins to, you know, manage their server environments, like not upgrading services during peak usage (cough, Windows 10, cough).

I'm not saying I won't still try out Userify... I'm saying that, when one of my chief complaints about Atlassian was a lack of packaging support, you came in to champion a product that not only doesn't provide packaging support, but reminds me why packaging support is necessary. If Userify meets our needs, we'll end up needing to package it internally, which means it has to go on our priority list somewhere, and probably not near the top.

Sorry if this sounds harsh... just trying to keep it real.
