they don't look into racist posts at all, either. I've only reported like 10 posts (that had overtly racist messages and calls to violence in 5 cases) and I was quickly informed that they were fine (despite their TOS). It really seems like the management has a bigoted bent.

You’re right. We’ve become - by and large - engrained to associate links with underlines, but in this context it’s not necessarily necessary (though probably a welcome hint for many).
When is SIP trunking and Hosted Business PBX getting added to AWS?
Camera software is terrible to the point of being defective (the following is true for all or almost all professional digital cameras):

1) histograms for processed jpeg using a built in preset instead of the actual raw (want to know if you've really clipped the highlights? Can't)

2) no automated ETTR even on mirrorless cameras / while using live view, despite all the necessary information being available

3) no automated hyperfocal distance focusing, despite this being absolutely trivial to implement on any autofocus body

4) only 1d series canon cameras (which are used for action and sport photography, not landscape, so this feature is mostly useless) do multi-spot averaged metering, despite this being trivial and having been done on old Olympus film cameras

5) they're not programmable (i.e. focus to 5m, fire shutter after 4s, then...)

It's like they don't let anyone using the things with any skill get their hands on the firmware. Using Android would be a disaster of latency, boot times and bloat, they should just stop being terrible.
So why did they succeed, and how can they leverage that for user growth?

Thanks! In the past I've looked at the docs and got something basic going with create-react-app, but since I've been put off by little things here and there I'd like to see a working example of a larger system to better appreciate what's good about React. This seems like what I was looking for.
Yes, as I mentioned call center, and they also have Chime for conferencing. I expect trunking and business voip to be released very soon.

So, it’s an electric version of the Smart car, that doesn’t have any of the safety features of the smart, and because it’s designed and built in China, they don’t have to factor in things like paying their workforce a decent paycheck, or insurance, or anything else?

By no means do I agree with much of what is on the World Socialist Web Site (WSWS). However, from a purely algorithmic standpoint, their website has content that should rank very highly:

1) Much of their content is original (i.e. not copy-pasted from other sites)

2) A majority of the page is composed of text, rather than images or ads

3) Where there are ads, they are minimal and largely hidden from view.

4) Their website is well organized, with clear and descriptive links.

5) Their website is updated frequently and new content is posted regularly.

So, assuming that WSWS is linked by other sites on the same topic, it seems that it should rank highly in Google search queries. Maybe there is something else that would reduce their ranking, but it doesn't seem obvious to me at first glance.
Part of the problem is Web Extensions can not and will not have the Low Level API and UI Access that XUL had, as such it does not matter how much FF Dev's slow down these extensions will never ever be ported

The other problem is many of these extenstions have been in development for years, and have huge complex code bases that can not just simply be ported to Web Extensions, Dev's work on these for free in the spare time so they can not simply quit their day jobs and devote 100% of their times to solve a Problem Mozilla created for their own selfish reasons against the wishes of the User base to appease users that abandoned FF years ago

Basically Mozilla is tell the current users of FireFox that we are no longer welcome, to get fucked, and begging Chrome users to come back

Here is one issue where I saw some comments on the broken Map implementation: https://github.com/google/traceur-compiler/issues/1810

Admittedly, this is an older browser at this point (Safari 11 formally shipped yesterday), but I remember it biting a workplace I was at 2 1/2 years ago & we had to polyfill Map and Set. I believe this was fixed in Safari 9.

I would like to report it on GitHub, but unfortunately I think it would violate my employment contract until I complete the process to get approval to do open source work.

For the MBP as we know it, I'd love to get a 15" model without the Touch Bar / Touch ID. To me, it's a deal breaker. The 13" looks nice, but it's just too small. I'm not sure what to make of the gigant trackpad – not putting it under your palms is just so much more sensible than palm detection. (For the same reason I'm not fond of edge to edge phone displays.) Sad to see MagSafe go, as well as many other connectors. The previous model was pretty great and it's unfortunate it can't be bought (new) anymore with decent graphics.

32GB of RAM is welcome, as well as some more screen estate. I'd now probably get a 17" model if I could, but lacking that, thinner screen edges. If it can be done on the Dell XPS (and the iPhone X), so can it on the MBP.

The MBP doesn't feel all that pro anymore, though. When the MBPr was first released, it truly set itself apart from the MBP at the time. It was an insta-buy and I'm still using it for the lack of better options. Now that the consumer line has caught up, what I'd really like to see is the introduction of a legitimate mobile workstation with similarly sized innovations at a similarly reasonable price. Where is my Xeon with ECC?

Completely in vain, I'll close by stating that a bit of water/dirt-proofing would be great, but I don't expect to ever see that happen.
Yeah, there’s clearly little attention given to typography.

About a year ago I got tired of news websites pumping meaningless images and garbage to my browser so I put together https://legiblenews.com/ and focused mostly on typography with a system serif font (if you look at your request console you’ll notice I make one and only one request to load the page).

Kudos to NPR for doing this. I hope more news sites follow suite. I also wouldn’t mind server-side rendered text ads, if that ever happens.
Sadly often neither are official explanations. Which is probably why we get "conspiracy theories".

Not using auto incrementing keys is surely a rarity with MySQL projects.

Even before galera was a thing regular MySQL replication could use auto_increment_(increment|offset) to make each server generate unique id's.
Google did something similar when they pulled the youtube app on Windows Phone. They really know how to not be evil.
I definitely am. Misinformation, propaganda, clickbait are all words with more specific semantics. Nothing incorrect about the term "fake news", just pretty information-sparse. It often ends up meaning "what I don't agree with, and wish to discredit with two words only"[1].

There is precedent of treating CJK characters as "double-width", but it's anachronistic in a world of proportional fonts and UTF-8.

CJK users also don't use CJK characters exclusively. There's almost always single-byte characters mixed in, such as URLs and numbers, and in the case of Korean, even punctuation. If some characters count as 1 and others count as 2, it will result in fluctuating limits that are hard to grasp intuitively.
I have done this myself too. but it's kinda hacky.

For example, linux might not recognize 3 finger gestures. I also don't recall how it handled the apple/command keys. There might need to be some better driver support.

You've got browsers today that are finally capable of doing everything from playing interactive media, running real applications, to displaying unstyled text documents. It's really good at all of those, and it's based off of widely distributed open source tech (how many browsers are there, HTTP servers, etc).

You can reach 2 billion people for pennies. What's more, this stuff isn't hard. Children can learn HTML and CSS, modern web frameworks make it so that you can build great stuff on the back or frontend in a matter of days or weeks. Seriously, write a small Sinatra or Flask app. It's easy.

Why is that not good enough? We really so ungrateful to believe that reinventing everything is the right step now? Nothing is stopping anyone from taking existing tech and building great, usable, lightweight sites. Seems like focusing on that would be about a billion times more productive, yeah? You can't really expect to throw away 30 years of ongoing progress and build a better experience in months or even years without losing something.

Just seems like a bunch of fluff. He'll never build anything like it. This is like sitting there in 1600 and saying that the printing press sucks because it doesn't encrypt documents. You've got so much potential that remains unharnessed (low-hanging fruit even), and we'd rather build a new system.
regarding the concept... the part I like about it is that it provides a mechanism for property owners to at least have a "say" in what flies over their property (and when). It's perhaps not a big deal now, but if drone delivery, et. al. become commonplace, I see this as the drone equivalent of a do-not-call list.
Twilio is in a very tough spot, because any relatively large account quickly realizes that they are big enough to roll out their own solution, and in 2017 is very easy to do, from stellar open source options to many vendors willing to sign up just about anybody as a wholesale account. And many have moved away, and will continue to do so. Even with the recent discounts, Twilio is way over priced, and its REST API is simply not in line with what is expected from a communications platform in this day and age. That's why they are trying to will continue to shift to hosted code. Corvisa (acquired by Shoretel) had it right when they had embedded lua.

Disclaimer: I do own some Twilio and several other telco stocks (but I still believe Twilio is way overvalued and buy on dips because a large carrier will eventually buy them out so I'm willing to go for the ride), but I make more money from companies dumping Twilio/Nexmo/Plivo and going with custom solutions.
You're right about the mode, but the quote is also correct in the sense of the area under the curve. Most English tweets are 34+/-n characters, where n gives you more than 50% under the curve. It rapidly falls off from 9% on the 140 character side.

what if everyone could get more from the things they crowd source, contribute while still allowing others to build on those contributions etc.

1. l I use OneNote using a numbered hierarchical structure. You can use anything really, like the Dewey Decimal system, but in my case it just evolved into a 1000’s section for the Sciences and Applied Sciences, a 2000’s section for Business, Finance, etc, a 3000’s section for Liberal Arts and finally a 4000 section for the Arts.

2. After I’ve completed a book, I’ll go back and type out the notes into OneNote, I usually have my raw notes (what I’ve underlined), my synthesized notes (the best of the raw notes), and then finally some kind of concept map for the overarching ideas.

3. To completed notes I add a “#review” tag into the note and then every two weeks I’ll do spaced repetitions on the notes. At some point I’ll add a tag like “#long-term-review” and then only look at it every 6 months.

4. Use physical books and use a pen, not highlighter. Physical books allow you to read faster and a hundred other things that would be too long to get into here, and pens are better because you can underline, circle words, and write in the margin all with one device.

5. Learn how to distinguish good books from bad books. Bad books tend to have very “markety” like “How Anybody Can Be Creative!” while good books have more boring titles like “Reflections on Lateral Thinking” by XYZ University Press. Also University Press’s are almost always a good buy. You will never find those books unless you look, consider the average marketing budget for a University Press book is about $5,000, but they’re one of the best untapped resources for knowledge in the world currently. Amazing that they aren’t more popular.

I actually have some questions about this subject, as I'm still figuring out where/how to start with it. I think I'm beginning to grasp the varied benefits of actually making the effort so (finally) have some motivation to work with, but I've kind of drowned in the SnR of poor-quality information out there.

My interest in meditation is somewhat indirect; IIUC, it's an apparently-necessary stepping-stone to energy perception/study/work, becoming aware of the process of falling asleep, and trance states, three subjects I've been extremely interested in for some time, but which (like meditation) I have no idea where to start with. My attempts to figure and figure them out intuitively haven't really gone anywhere concrete either (...yet).

If anyone has any pointers on studying meditation to the above ends (and particularly if you have any ideas/advice about the things I've mentioned!) I'd love to hear whatever you have to say (email is cool, but I might take a while to respond).

I've actually wanted to ask this on HN for a little while now, but a thread for such topics would... well I don't think it'd be squarely kicked out, but it likely wouldn't be voted up too high.

Meanwhile, every Apple user’s photo library will be half the size compared to JPEG. For many users photos are the single largest category in their iOS device storage. More importantly for Apple, they (want to) store everyone’s photos in their cloud, so they need half the storage and bandwidth to pull that off.

For sending to other people, most photos are going to be downsized anyway so a transcoding isn’t the end of the world.

Differentiation.

I don’t like the touch bar but I like that they tried. Now please take it a little further and clean up the line-up.

I want all the weird future bits to go in a ‘modern’ ultra portable. Take the 12” macbook and put an A11 or theoretical A12 in it. If there’s a non keyboard touch input in the macbook line try it there.

Take the macbook pro and stuff it full of ports. And shit on intel until they produce an appropriate chipset that’ll support more than 16gb. Or at least threaten them with the above mentioned ultraportable until they get off the pot and get it done. Ports, ram, a small concession on form factor & weight so a 13-14ish inch model can be useful for 8 hours on a train. Oh and more ports.

Everything else tht’s a little more mass market, a little more beige, that can go in the macbook air line. Set a reasonable price point and sell little-better-than-entry-level spec’ed machine with modern components to every Tom, Dick & Harry who gives them money for the current air but really shouldn’t.

Have courage Apple, take a little risk, leverage some branding to make a statement and let the pro moniker mean something.

No mention of Ted Nelson or Xanadu?
Something we discovered years ago in relation to joins in all of the SQL DBMS systems we used (from the lowly MS-Access to ORACLE and SQL-Server). The order in which you create the joins in the SQL determines how bad the cartesian product cardinality is. The DBMS's seemed incapable of rearranging the joins internally to get the smallest number of records.

We had quite a few instances where by a judicious change in the join structure of the SQL meant a many order of magnitude change is speed due to the decrease of the cardinality.

Our process was to test different orders of joins in problematic SQL and see what effects would be produced by the DBMS. It usually required we knew how many tuples were in each of the tables and how they would be restricted. The upshot was that it should have been possible for the DBMS to do its own analysis to produce the best result. We found none of them capable of this task in any meaningful way.
It's likely less about meter than flow.
Granted. I'm just looking at minimal difference.
The "we already know who did it" is, at this stage, more speculative. Naming parties without full understanding of what's going on can cause it's own damage, and make a diplomatic solution harder to obtain.

The evidence gathered to date (including what they think it might be) has the potential to disclose, or at least insinuate, what capabilities the U.S. has to determine what's going on.

Infuriating as it is, handling it carefully is probably the best course of action here. Often that means having to be coy with what's known until there's a certain degree of certainty.
It's just another factor in computing compatibility.

There was a time when attaching your real identity online was considered a major safety risk. That time hasn't past.

Oh, I do and that was satire not sarcasm.

I accept my mistakes when people aren't a condescending and especially not those who are too stupid to understand satire and if I am talking to stupid people then I ought to write stupid comments, for they don't even understand satire then what else can I hope to write which they understand?

And yes, this "stupid" discussion is over.
The world doesn't always work that way though. There are plenty of areas where we've decided that the cost of worse is better is unacceptable, and legislated it into only being acceptable in specific situations. For example, many engineering disciplines.
