I'm looking for discussion forum websites (e.g. stack overflow) that has a built in drawing tool in its text editor.

Are there any out there?

And are there any tools/plugins to do this on your own website?
It also, in multiple places, seems to say "but they're not really a self-important jerk, they're just defensive of their time". And in general, it defends elitism and excuses unpleasant behavior.

(There's nothing wrong with being defensive of your time. There's something very wrong with being a jerk about it.)
I think it's your model of operating the software is more then your source. Open source encourage technical knowledge sharing and collaboration work. However it can't replace one's or a company's dedicated effort. Imagine Uber open-sourced, it's as hard as it is to be to replicate it's business and value.

We are working on a software called skygear (https://skygear.io) as well. It's open-sourced from the first day.

Google has been having a hard time getting their phones up to standards. Although I've been lucky having bought my phones from Google directly. My Nexus 5 was replaced for free when it cracked on falling (apparently the phone had a problem of the screen breaking too easy). Recently they replaced my well out of warranty Nexus 6P with a Pixel XL 128Gb for free (because of the battery issues). People who didn't buy these from Google directly in the US have a whole other story.

Researchers get paid salaries by their institution. They are not paid for their publications directly, nor for reviewing or editing. All the money from journal subscriptions, book sales and per-article download fees go to the publishers of the journals.
Hi, I always like to read user feedback, especially if they make me smile. I created yc.metachat.com with 2 friends as a side project.

We applied to YCW18 and wanted something that aggregated news about it and gave us the opportunity to chat with other people who have applied. If you would login, you would see there is quite some activity. I'm sure there are many areas of improvement to be found.

To come back to your list of critiques:
1) We are not affiliated with YC, nor do we claim to be. @vinaipay already pointed out your misunderstanding about the company's domain owner.
2) Registration is a standard Laravel component that hashes your password.
3) We are loading external images from rss feeds which are not over https. Maybe that is what you are referring to.

Things we will do:
1) We are putting a disclaimer on the website that we are not affiliated with YC
2) When and if this side project becomes something more than a side project, we will invest time and money to store the images and send them to you over https

Note: I was tempted to write this entire post in all caps :)

Have a great day!

Indeed, I wrote this three days ago:

"Since he appeared on the scene I have always wondered, how in an environment where engineers take pride for what they have actually done (US tech world), a guy that only talks and has no engineering accomplishment to show is given that much cognitive space. Back when he was a Microsoft evangelist (!) I have watched a few videos of him to get the sense of a talking human being. And I could't believe how shallow he was. His whole demeanor was one of an airhead."

To add to that, and get back on the topic, how can someone who has not writen a lot of code or designed significant hardware consult someone? And companies are obviously willing to pay him. What a world!
The question obviously concerns insurance plans that DO cover hearing aids, genius.
And the name of the proposed rover was "Beagle"!
Scandinavian here—wait, the paid health insurance doesn't cover the devices themselves?

I assume that people in the US are probably tired of "grass is greener on the other side" stories, but I'm seriously surprised that the paid insurance doesn't cover.

Here, the free public health insurance covers the devices needed with no price limit, and cover all battery expenses for life. If you want to get the devices themselves from the private sector, the public health insurance covers up to some fixed price, with you paying the rest.
I see and agree that an equal sized hardware and software component compared, the hardware will be harder to develop and more expensive. I don't think from a project perspective this holds true though, since the amounts are often something like 1 hardware to 10 software or even more.

But your argument still holds true in that iterations are quicker and easier to achieve, which is also why this factor will only increase.
Academic journals tend to require exclusivity. That means, if you want to publish in, say Nature, you will be asked to not publish the same article anywhere else.

However, the researchers (at least in STEM) often publish these "in-progress" drafts that are very close to the final articles on their website or wherever.
In India, you are required to mention your current salary and the expected salary on the job application to even be considered.

The expected salary is usually a 30% bump if you are between junior-mid levels.

We researchers don't get paid for our papers. We give the publishers our papers for free so that they can make money by putting them behind a paywall. We sometimes even need to pay the publishers to publish our papers. The paywall can sometimes be removed by paying the publisher even more to compensate for their loss of income.

I know that, but connecting a keyboard or mouse to a phone is useless, the big screen is crucial.

And while there were options to do that in the past, all were one-offs and needed an extra port. So I guess we both agree about the capabilities that exist(ed), but that is exactly the reason why I posted my "In an ideal world" wish. There is no solution today as far as I'm aware. Which is a shame, given the power that these smartphones have.
It is, but it does feel a bit speedier. Interestingly I’ve had Reduce Motions on for quite some time and just turned it off. Feels kinda newish now, but I guess I sometimes just like change for changes sake.

I really miss Samsung's 'double-click home button to use camera' on the Galaxy S6 and S7. Probably the most convenient implementation of a camera shortcut I've seen.
Wow! This is ridiculous.

How, and why, is such a business model still working? The only scenario I can think of is when an independent researcher wants to publish his/her research to disseminate to a wider audience and invite critiques. Or, is that also possible without these publishers?
It is a race condition. Nothing odd, they need to fix it though.
Researchers want you to pirate their paper as often as possible. You can only cite papers you've read, after all.

The only royalty check I've ever seen from research I did is for a chapter of a book, and it was less than a dollar. Royalties don't matter.
On Board with the Data Revolution?
There can be some minuscule royalties, but by and large academic publishers are reviled for predatory practices. They get close to free content. They get free services from peer reviewers (the essential basis of what they're selling). They charge vast sums to educational libraries for access. They charge ludicrous per-article fees for any member of the public who has the temerity to wish to read about any of the research their taxes fund.

Its in just about everyone's interests for for-profit academic publishers to collapse. If Sci-Hub can help bring this about, it will be a historic victory for the open internet.
I guess young people in startups don't have the opportunity to watch many exceptional and truly irreplaceable colleagues retiring ... and being completely forgotten the next week.

1. You produce novel research.

2. You submit novel research to the best journal you think will publish it.

3. The editor (the only person involved actually paid by the journal) invites other researchers to volunteer their time to peer review your research.

4. Assuming your research bears up under scrutiny and the peer reviewers are not actually competitors who decide to filibuster (this happens), your paper passes peer review.

5. Congratulations! The journal agrees to publish your novel research. For this, you must pay the journal. They do not pay you. You pay them. Color figures in the paper version nobody reads cost thousands extra.

6. Having been paid by you to publish your work, the journal sells your paper at exorbitant prices to university libraries (unless you paid them lots extra to just make it available for free).

Taxes pay researchers to pay journals and taxes pay for university libraries to pay journals. Why on Earth do intelligent researchers (or taxpayers) put up with this crap? Being published in a good journal bumps up your impact factor and helps you win more grant money. If high impact factor journals go out of business because of piracy, others will just take their place.

In short, pirates screwing over journals doesn't hurt researchers in the least. Shaking up the parasitic journal biz is actually long overdue. Journals put in only a tiny percentage of the labor involved in putting a paper through peer-review, but they soak everyone involved for massive amounts of time and money. It's time they died.
So why do you update to the latest version? iPhone 6 is quite old by now, and the updates have historically caused reduced performance. I didn't put Windows 7 on my old 1GB Windows XP machine because it's dumb, you should think about the same when updating your phone.

If you want the traditional work experience for men with health issues, the equation is very simple. You "man up" and go to work and pretend that you are not sick, regardless of pain, fatigue or dizziness. You will be taken seriously, but only if you can hold up the perception of male persona with perfect health and strength. Otherwise you will not just loose the ability to be taken serious at work, but society in general will reject you.
Actually, you get double bonus wherever you add housing, because you'll never add enough transportation or parking as necessary so that neighborhood will also start to suck! Also, housing people is a net drain on the tax base so the city services get worse or taxes increase.

Win, win!

Yeah, that's why NIMBY... on the other hand add transit, jobs, or retail somewhere and house prices go up locally with it because people want to live there (reduce their commute and buy $#&+) and it pays enough taxes. Retail moves where people flow. It takes planning and not just building.
In computer science we have more conference paper than journals. This is a good thing since you do not have to pay a shit load of money to get your article in. Also I have not experienced a license yet, where I was forbid to publish it on my own.

Lee Kuan Yew actually thought, almost a decade ago, that he didn't go far enough:

“I knew that once people in Singapore could have a car, they’d never give it up. So, before it got out of control, I said you need a Certificate Of Entitlement before a car is yours; and the permitted up-tick in number of cars depends on what the road capacity is. That was the first move. So, you bid for it. If you issue more entitlement certificates than is prudent, roads are jammed. Then a younger generation took over and says, well, why not have more cars and we charge them by the usage on the roads instead of just purchase? I told them, okay, okay, have a car, have more cars! But once you’ve got a car, you will never give it up.” [...]

“I was moved on policy-thinking about transit by psychology. They are moved by maximizing road space. Okay, then you would antagonize more motorists. I would rather have less cars and get everybody to use the public transport, but a younger generation thinks this is the way to go and you are in charge, then go for more cars.”

I remember being in LA in the 2000s, and not renting a car (the innocence of growing up in Europe...). I sampled the buses that took 1.5 hours to go from Beverly Hills to Downtown. I paid $200 for a return cab ride from Santa Monica to Hollywood at rush hour.

In comparison, if the MRT has a 30 minute delay in Singapore it is national news [2].

In fact, once you assume you're incapable of having a coherent absolute viewpoint because you're a unit in a greater whole with an independent viewpoint of it's own and your infering abilities are limited by time and/or energy you essentially have to pick your own axioms and therefore you're certain you will arrive at different conclusions than someone else.

This reminds me of Aaron Swartz's fight. People have made great sacrifices for this. Information that can lead to or enhance knowledge and learning shouldn't be behind closed doors.
with regard to the epoll-and-accept method - why is the LIFO queue bad? sure, you're seeing more load on one core, but it must be finishing requests by the time it starts working on the next one - i.e not causing requests to stall as a result of the imbalance.

put that in the context of a multi-socket system, then core-caching and NUMA issues (even turbo clocking on an individual core) would seem to imply that LIFO is in fact exactly what you want, no?
Bluetooth was never designed for audio usage. Revisions over the years have shoehorned functionality into what is effectively an FTP protocol.

> Google provides services to everyone in the world. Apple provides services to the social elite, and only them. A person of moderate means living in Ghana? Apple doesn't care about you; you may as well be invisible.

If Google wasn't dumping prices, there would be a local cheaper alternative. Now it's impossible to compete with them. Ad-supported will always be cheaper than pro-privacy and there is no enough people to pay little premium to have cheap-but-pro-privacy device/service. The only way to stay afloat is to sell with hefty premium like Apple does. But then it's not really affordable to poor people.

Apple doesn't care about "elite". They charge price they see fair and provide their services to anyone who can pay that price.
> But politically-savvy Kolmogorov types can’t just build a bubble. They have to build a whisper network.

The trouble with whisper networks, though, is that they breed poorly-supported misinformation (fake news?) that may or may not have anything to do with whether thunder or lightning comes first.

Seems like if you want to reduce the incentive to create fake-news-breeding whisper networks, you should do what you can to not incentivize whisper-network creation.
Today’s approach to testing has no future
A problem that often gets overlooked are the (geo) political ramifications of differences in economic output. I’m not sure if this is an existing hypothesis, but it seems evident to me.

If one actor grabs the bigger share of economic growth that puts it in a position of power over others. Nation states that can grow their population, resource extraction and have export surplus can use those things to exert political power over others. This means that states have a strong incentive for growth.

Likewise, if a population is dependent on money for their necessities, and there exists a limited stock of it, those who command a large fraction of it have defacto leverage over those with little.
Apple said they're bigger than Rolex in revenue.
And that’s exactly why Apple is so often so great at innovation: they make bold trade-off decisions on behalf of the users knowing the public will beat them initially, but that it’ll pay off in the long run - for everyone. Which other company does that?
Imagine a HTTP server supporting HTTP keepalives. Say 10 new connections come in. Say on average they will all go to a single worker. Then say all of the connections request a heavy asset.

You will end up with one worker handling these 10 connections/requests and spinning at 100% CPU while other workers idle. I'm not saying this bad load balancing is a problem affecting everyone, it very much depends on your load pattern.

No, Canadian here, which explains most of the price difference as well. CAD is weak at the moment. There's a waterproof sleeve thing that you can use for swimming - I believe that was $700. There's a bluetooth dongle that works with my iphone, but it's incredibly frustrating to use, so I mostly don't. That was $350 if I recall. All these things are tax write-offs for me, which is helpful, but I still have to pay out of pocket. It doesn't help much in low-income years, either.

BC Medical tends to get a pile of funding every couple years for CI patients, like 10 million or whatever, and out of that pile they prioritize younger adults who need at least one CI to be able to hold down a job, people whose equipment is starting to fail, etc. If there's any left after everyone who needs one CI or replacement equipment has got what they need, they can offer second implants. They've never gotten that far down the list though.

Is there anything you could suggest looking into to improve nginx processing of high volume large POST bodies (5KB, tens of thousands per second)?

I'm using kernel 4.13 with BBR congestion control on 20Gbps network and seem to hit this weird bottleneck when it does not matter how many nginx processes I have, it works similarly terrible on both 16-core and 64-core servers. (Of course irq/process affinity is in place which makes me think it's nginx issue.)
