Names, as you suggest. I don't know how old you are, but when I was in my 20s I could easily remember the name of everyone I'd met. Now, in my 50s, I know more people, and meet more people, than I can keep up with. I'd love a popup for not just friends, but friends of friends.

Addresses. I can't tell you how many times I've walked past a poorly labeled building I was looking for. Street addresses, street numbers, and names of buildings.

Construction. This morning I drove past a construction project by my house. The city is doing something to a little park in my neighborhood. What? No idea. Demolishing it? Improving it? Carving out an easement for an extra lane of traffic? It'd be so awesome to point my phone, or goggles, at the construction and get more info.

Metadata of all sorts, much of which is available now but inconvenient--Yelp reviews of the restaurant I'm standing in front of, hours of the government building that's closed at the moment, historical information about a landmark, etc.

Basically, a context menu for the world. I think there's no question that that would be valuable. The pain point, for now, is the interface.

Yes, dependency is bad, but you target platform where your customers are.

We operate small indoor playground for kids. Sure, I wanted to have website, but since almost all moms with small kids are on FB 24/7, Facebook Page was obvious choice. Yes, it makes us platform dependent, but I won't expect our target audience to play with RSS... Now this step bite us in the backside a bit. It really sucks to be in the bad part of A/B test :)

To be pedantic, I don't think I agreed that any of my claims were hasty, just that some of them could be addressed more easily than others. Caching metadata, for example.

To be clear, I have a lot of respect for FDB and what their team did; it was only the SQL layer put on top that seemed poorly thought through.
Block submission whose link requires payment to read content
Hi team @ Y-Combinator

Can you block any submission whose url requires payment in order to read the news ?

For e.g. one of the top links https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15529944 point to a WSJ article that requires payment to read the article.

Instead, the user can submit a related news from another news source that is free.
As with most things with Google... it first seems a benefit for the users but always helps them (Google).

They take the data away from someone but it actually helps them (Look at AMP pages). In this case it is highly likely all DNS requests will be onto 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 DNS servers - giving them more info on what you are doing when no on their own services.
It does not really matter whether or not the internet gives or withholds permission. There is no generic answer and there is no certainty regarding whether one choice is better or worse for a particular individual. In the end, it is just a matter of personal choice.

Do you have the money?

What would you do instead with your time?

Why do you want to study at Flatiron versus an alternative?

Do you feel like you are learning something?

Keep in mind that Flatiron is a for profit company. The cost of delivering an online course can be very low (which is why early MOOC's could be free) and the list price without the 50% scholarship is a way of anchoring a high price so that 50% off looks like a bargain. I suspect that in six months, a similar discount will still be available.

Good luck.
Why are we still editing text in 2017? Shouldn't someone have come up with something radically better by now?

No way that the actual amount could be allowed to become public if it is individually negotiated per customer.
1) Status 2) price+quality 3) localization 4) regulation 5) not necessarily in this order

For instance take a look at Xiaomi phones. They are better in every aspect than any western phone you could find in the < 500$ price range.

Western cars are designed for regulations that don't exist in China, think of emission controls and safety. Local manufacturers don't bother with that. Expect any western car to be overpriced and inappropriate for the china market.

Truly luxury brands like Apple and Porsche makes it because of status.
I don't get it, if you have charging at home, what's the issue? For those rare trips where you go over 300km, just rent a cheap ICE vehicle.
It feels like some people do programming for the sake of programming (like linguists). Others create poems and exquisite novels with it (authors). I’d argue you don’t need to be a linguist to be a nobel (or pulitzer) prize winning author. Why? It’d be a distraction. You’d start focusing on the wrong kinds of things.

Linguists are still highly respectible people. Society needs them. Just that being a great author does not require you to be one.
It would have been a huge step forward but they allowed for backward compatibility by permitting BIOS modules. So instead of using the new system, vendors just use it to load legacy BIOS modules.

Apple is the only one not doing that.

Do you have any data to support your claim?

My view is that if you start a race healthy, then you are unlikely to do permanent damage to your body during the race. The exceptions are primarily in the category of: "I need to immediately be taken to the ER."

Also, most finishers of a 100 mile race experience pain and vomiting. But each runner has her own experience and there are no hard rules.

(I have run several 100 mile trail races -- about 2 per year -- over the past 10 years)
This looked suspiciously like a premature verdict with lots of assumptions based on Apple not doing what an analyst says they should do, but there's no doubt that Apple's in a tough spot.

They had to offer an expensive phone to get new technology out the door at a reduced scale from a usual iPhone release, but now they're stuck with only one supplier who can make quality displays (and of course that supplier is also their main competition in phone hardware), and if the rumblings about the Face ID hardware being hard to make reliably in quantities are true, this could be an epic supply problem (for a company that knows well how painful epic supply problems are).

And if people really are holding off on an iPhone 8 in hopes of an X, whew. The good news for Apple is it's highly unlikely someone would go to Android just because the X is hard to find.
Astute observation, succinctly put. I would additionally add that it also works the other way; if a story's themes and metaphors are too clear before the story is over, it can damage suspension of disbelief and hurt enjoyment.

This is one reason why the typical teaching methodology of a US high school English class typically has the effect of blunting the enjoyment of classic literature - students are not usually given the chance to read the story in its entirety before it is dissected to death, chapter by chapter.
Why you should never, ever, ever use MongoDB
An important lesson I have learned recently is that doing hard things never pays dividends in the shorter run; in fact, it make you miserable in that period. The benefits are only realised in the longer run. What if you commit yourself to send one newspaper pitch every week? Quite likely, you will face rejections and it will make feel dejected. However, gradually, your pitches will start improving, you'll get better at writing them, and eventually, one of yours will get accepted. Then, probably another. Hurray! you have broken into publishing industry as a freelance writer.

From all the things related to writing I have read, this advice is present in almost every one of them. The recipe sounds simple but it's easy enough to quit with just one rejections. In writing, business, dating or anything that requires effort. If you persist, however, don't take failure personally, it doesn't take long to get better at that.

China has radically more extremely poor people than that. The number is closer to 500 million, so long as absurd numbers like $3 per day are not your line.

75% of China's middle class is in the $2 to $10 per day income bracket. And that's their middle class, the bottom 1/3 are even worse off.

https://chinapower.csis.org/china-middle-class/

(Oct 2014)

“Poverty is still a salient problem in China,” Zheng Wenkai, a vice-minister at a government office responsible for poverty alleviation and development, said at a news briefing Tuesday, according to the state-run China Daily newspaper. About 200 million Chinese, or 15% of the country’s population, would be considered poor by international poverty measures, set at $1.25 a day, Mr. Zheng added.

https://blogs.wsj.com/chinarealtime/2014/10/15/more-than-82-...

Two simple questions that make the point easily:

What's the median income, in non-purchasing parity terms, for the bottom 50% of people China?

How many people does China have living below $5 per day, in non-purchasing parity terms?

Answer those please.
Interesting video.
Exactly as you mentioned - Facebook Pages are for anything that is not a person, pretty much. We run FB Page as info page for kids playground, for example. If you are frequent visitor and you liked/followed our page, you'd get notification when playground is closed due to birthday party etc. Well, until now :).
It is their platform, right? I’d assume they are within their rights to determine how Information flows within it. Obviously they’d want it to be in a way that positively impacts their bottom line. If the ability to reach people on their platform through pages is valuable, then i should not be surprised if they want those who use it to pay for it.

There's no shame in stopping. Sounds like you were hypothermic, which is a common reason for DNFs.

From my experience, I would say that you wouldn't have been able to continue even if you needed to.

Also, always beware of the spectrum. Some people would say running for 17 hours is impossible. Others would say they shivered uncontrollably at 17 hours and roughed out 3 more hours before dropping. Others still would hit 24 hours and wish they could keep going.
I was only replying to the fact that you cannot tell by top speed what runway is needed and what sound it makes.

Yep.

I once fired up a TOPS-10 VM on SIM-H to fire up an old system for historical research purposes:

Quite alot of good code that already does what you are wanting to do was written decades before you realized you wanted to do it.

this is clearly untrue, and we know it because of all the people who tell us they have a fucking awful experience as soon as they try to edit anything.
If true, there are many people that I see at Wal Mart and Costco who are eating enough for about ten people.

Not related to supply chain, but when my current iPhone 6s is paid off I will probably look for 6s Plus. The lack of headphone jack really is a deal killer for me...I have no desire to complicate my life by carrying, charging, and managing multiple pieces of kit.

The "but it makes the iPhone water resistant" is weak argument that even if true, could've had a simple manufacturing solution (ie. no need to have the bore go straight into body of phone where electronics are, have the bore cylinder sealed with only wiring running to logic board).

Tim Cook, much like Steve Balmer, is a brilliant operations guy that can make minute adjustments to product lineup to produce all sorts of incremental once-off sales. However, they both lacked a fundamental "product vision" that resulted in tactical gains and strategic losses. Apple once again needs a product visionary.

Which, beyond Emacs with Paredit, whatever is called Paredit-as-ported-to-vim, and some obscure Smalltalk stuff, generally doesn't exist. So yeah. Stay with Vim or switch to Emacs.
If there's anything I'm worried about it's not the supply chain, that's Tim Cook's speciality. We had similar stories about jet black iPhone 7's last year. There's always something.

But please get iOS 11 back to iOS 10 in terms of battery performance because I'm afraid the .1 release this year is not even the one you should go for if you're conservative with upgrades.

We don't need a yearly release anymore, we need solid upgrades for both macOS and the mobile OS's. Just release when it's ready.
This thread is interesting and I'm far from entrenched in any of the position implied above.

But... I don't think we can make a lot of progress without a Guinness and some banter at this point.

That said, I would call the post Soviet oligarchy and it's intrigues a game where corporate interests (formerly "industry") finance and government are deeply interlinked. Those power struggles are internal to that (very young) form of "government" which you (and most people including me) call an oligarchy. The oligarchs control different pieces of all three, including Putin the senior oligarch.

To give you a counter example, I follow nothing except pages most of the time. My real account sticks around in case I want to contact friends, and because some people insist on communicating via FB messages. But all my browsers are logged into a second account, which has no friends,and follows a non-profit, a news site from my hometown, and a few think tanks. It only exists because one or two of those don't put out their feeds anywhere else.
Interesting interview. I see Business Reporter doing a couple debates and interviews around Data.
A nice middle ground would be to change to have this unexpected code path require explicit invocation via a command line flag or enablement through an env variable. This would reduce the attack surface for the vast majority of users and still retain support (albeit not entirely backwards compatible with scripts) for folks that want this.

> Poorly tested obscure format support is a goldmine for hackers looking for exploitable code.

IMO the issue is when these code paths are automatically invoked. This is how you get gstreamer running 6502 opcodes for a codec no one has ever heard of when you download a file from the internet.

On the main site (Stack Overflow) I managed to avoid any problems with my contributions.
On at least one of the "niche sites" (Role playing games) I had a much less pleasant experience. The moderators are IMHO way too draconian in making everyone stick to the letter of the rules, which is a bit silly considering that while Stack Overflow is intended to be a _professional_ resource, I doubt that anyone career is at a stake if they use advice from a fellow gamer in their next game.

> then you are unlikely to do permanent damage

Note that I didn't say "permanent damage" but "damage that will take months to recover from".

And this is largely from participating in two communities of "extreme" endurance runners (and running with them but not to the same level) who recount their experiences and advice.

It's good that you haven't had any issues but generalising to the wider world is a tricky thing - I know enough people who have attempted 100 milers (even just in 2017) and done damage that took months to recover from to know that it happens.

With all do respect there is no surprise (level of intellect and human sensitivity) that Mr. Trump is also president... because of social media.

Almost nobody reads what they share and get only the title based on the sheep following model.

Social media became a sense of belonging and replaces analog socializing.. we became more and more shallow and incapable of solving simple tasks while we delegate to externals, either a machine or other app, simple life tasks.
I've used vim quite a bit but it still never beat GUI editors for me. The lack of a mouse cursor was always a pain point - for example simple copy/pastes take notably longer. Moving a block of code below another block of code takes 1 second in notepad++ while in vim you have to go V 10d x 13down P or something along those lines, figuring out exactly what numbers to use there probably takes more than 1 second alone. It always feels claustrophobic editing a file in vim, like I'm having tunnel vision, and jumping around files to understand the structure of a program or write a feature that changes many things is more time consuming, and pgup/pgdn and arrow keys just aren't as good as a scroll bar.

Overall I'm glad vim exists so editing config files remotely is easier if I don't have the server mounted locally - it's definitely my favorite shell text editor so far but I'd take notepad++ or visual studio over it any day.

I understand that it comes down to my opinion. I'm merely interested in the what professionals think of the school and the quality of the alumni.

Used to work with two programmers:

First would type out a few lines of code incredibly fast with lots of mistakes (and not bothering to backspace over wrongness) - then go back and clear up damage using notepad level editing.

Second would stare fixedly at screen for several seconds, whilst remaining still as a statue, then carefully emit the minimum string of editing commands to achieve the change.

Their actual rate of progress was pretty much identical.
Computing as we know it is not even a century old and we already had several radically shift in it.

I don't even think they have to be cheaper than current cars, they just need to get cheaper than they are, get much better range and much faster and more convenient recharge than today's electrics get.

The top of the line Model S gets around 315 miles to a charge (X's get a bit less), it was a world changer because it was an electric car that got about what a normal ICE car gets in range so there was little penalty there. Not many people need to directly drive from NYC to Toronto in a single stretch all that often.

bonus: the cars are stupid fast and have incredible amounts of storage so they're better than other cars on the market

negative: they're very expensive and recharge still takes lots of time or less time but with expensive home infrastructure (but still not gas refill time)

What makes them exciting is that for a couple of downsides (price and recharge time) you get a car that's at least as good than old fashioned ICE cars and better than them in most other areas. They represent the least compromised vision of electrics you can buy today.

The smaller electrics aren't getting near that yet...it will take a few years of battery improvements before that happens. I think lots of people want a Model 3 aspirationally hoping that it has some of the positive qualities of an S, but the reality is that they're much more compromised vehicles. Tesla's approach to dealing with this is to try to make the cars as incomparable to ICE's as possible with loads of electronic features like autoparking and autopilot and whatever and an interior that's not like anything else on the planet -- but they're the only electric car maker who really gets that. By making the Model 3 hard to compare to anything else, it makes it stand out.
