Good question. PageDash aims to preserve the page in the original format and render it just as you saw it. Right now, Evernote does quite a bad job at rendering, I've used it a lot. Pocket on the other hand specializes at stripping out the HTML and leaving just the content in a reader-mode fashion, though I've not tried their premium offering that also archives.

PageDash archives from the front-end, while many archivers tend to archive by sending a link to the backend which then queries the website remotely, so you might not be archiving what you saw exactly, which admittedly in many cases doesn't matter. The upside of this technicality is that you can save content that you see only when you are logged in!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with caring about credit. Especially if one is in years long flamewar about which operating system architecture is more practical.

Funny how completely jerk behavior is cool from some people whole mere wish to get recognition is one step too far from others.

Are you sure you didnt select average income for the top 1% (which is the default on the left)

Switch to middle 40% and it will be still an increase but definitely does not look exponential - which most likely is the main point of the site creators

At least they stopped requiring 100% of my processor to display them like when they first switched to the floating, easy to accidentally dismiss boxes.
I work for a major wholesaler. I disagree that my company adds "no value." The shops that stock our products don't/can't do this work. Just negotiating prices with overseas suppliers is a big enough value add all by itself.
They make a lot of those resources available for free. I worked in algo/hft for about 11 years, then left and started building my own tools for building factor based algos using my interactive brokers' apis and my own toolkit. I was doing it on the side for about 3 months before I came across quantopian- and immediately felt like an idiot because they had done so much of the work for me- and it was available for free. It would have taken me probably 2 years to get anywhere close to their offering, and that's just for the pure trading/event processing side of it, let alone their backtesting, and risk measurement framework.

I have been using it for a factor and value based microcap strategy for the last 4 years and have been beating the market's total return by about 5% on average each year. I trade a relatively small universe, its not really scalable to a large fund.

I stopped applying for "quant" jobs in 2007- everyone wanted a PHD even though I was doing a lot of the same work- I got lucky and landed a job in Options AMM and for awhile was doing both dev work and what I later found out was considered quant work in most other places.

My point being though is they provide a lot of infrastructure that would normally only be available to a very small number of people in banks and the like and those tools are gate-kept to PHDs and those deemed worthy of even getting a look. I don't put my algos in the competition and actually trade them manually so they are likely completely under the radar from quantopian, and aside- they look for very specific characteristics in their algos that mine don't fit. There is opportunity out there though, especially if you are trading in small size (lets say under 5-10M),
I've spent a fair amount of time promoting xi-editor, most notably presenting it at RustConf last year. I've also written a bunch of "rope science" posts about fancy algorithms and data structures for text manipulation, which got attention on HN and elsewhere. I've been more quiet in recent months, but am gearing up for another major wave of community outreach soon.
While I somewhat agree with you, I'd argue that this not the original understanding of OSS. The idea behind OSS (at least its' amateurish kind) has always been very simple and straight-forward: if you have something to share, just do it. All this worrying about "users" and liabilities is symptomatic of a paradigm shift, which happened, when OSS has become a key part of big corps' business strategy and marketing. Also to a lesser extent it's a consequence of the OSS being seen as a way to market yourself as a developer and steer your career, which led to Github being flooded with unusable and unfinished stuff.

So while it's true that good documentation is probably crucial for the project to become popular among the wider audience nowadays (or even to have a chance of being discovered by anyone), the absence of documentation is in no way an argument against telling fellow engineers about your work. We can figure things out, it's a part of the job :)

Who handles this, and who is responsible for the legal bills?
I can’t imagine identifying naked people or pornography to be computationally hard (the difference include hippies on holidays or medical images, typically dermatology, and you want that even less) at least not for a search engine with image previews.
Fuck retail. For decades they have been fleecing customers.

Now I'm no longer forced by stores to buy what they happen to have in their inventory. Want that obscure JPN VN? Done, delivered next day.

I do feel bad about people losing their jobs. But the discounters and upmarket stores will always survive.
This is addressed in the article; see the part saying

> Although Dale had issued a public apology about the rumors, the apology fixes her reputation as much as saying “sorry” repairs a vase smashed on the floor.

The article generally discusses why this situation is asymmetric, and the power dynamics at play.
You're parent is probably trying to say that talented people have been found and they are working in the wall Street. They won't contribute to quantopian.
The problem with IRC is, if diverse participants realize their inputs arent as valued when viewed without bias, they will cause PR issues. On media like Twitter, you can always pay special attention to diverse folks so they dont feel left out
Yeah, they had a post form that had a field for username that was available only to the founders. So they could post content and then invent a username to make it appear that there were lots of unique users. They discuss it in this podcast. http://one.npr.org/?sharedMediaId=545635014:547386946

I discovered Fundrise last year and started investing a small amount. Currently have a bit over $7k invested in Fundrise, ramping up with roughly $1k per quarter since early 2016. Earnings to date a bit over $500 without reinvestment. I've been happy with the performance so far, and like the direct-investment model. That being said, I haven't invested more because of the liquidity lockup and, as others have said, these investments haven't gone through a down-cycle yet.

Agree with @baccredited re LendingClub — returns have shriveled to nothing for me; I've also been draining funds from them. FWIW got lucky this year with great YTD returns on emerging markets and international mutual funds.
It is _any_ industry. San Francisco has a ridiculous problem where the city has become so tech-centric that your entire life will be tech even if you try and distance yourself from it. Your friends will all be in tech. People you meet on the street will be in tech. Your uber drivers will pitch you ideas. You'll overhear the next big ICO at every party you go to. Your life is changed by every small startup trying to remove any small inconvenience in your life. And this becomes one _humongous_ bubble within the city. So then you have this entire world that is just completely and entirely oblivious to anything outside of it.

If you travel to cities which are known for specific things, you'll often find these culture pits. SF is just a really special case. Its just the size of the city that exacerbates it so much there. Its tiny. Theres no room for growth. Anyone not in tech got pushed out. And now you have a culture silo.

I specifically moved away from San Francisco to Toronto to avoid this very problem. I'm still in tech. Theres no shame about it here at all. Hell, I get excited if I meet someone also in tech now. The city is so big and has so much space to sprawl and have startups anywhere that tech simply doesn't define anything here at all.

It doesn't have to do with the industry entirely. The tiny city is the problem IMO.

I was kinda hoping this was an article about Esparanto.

Oh well...
There must be a lot of backstory and context here that is going unmentioned, because I can't understand what this Dale guy is accused of doing. He "questioned her authenticity?" What does that mean? Was he implying she was some kind of non-human robot or something? What was the actual tweet? I feel like I walked into a movie 30 minutes late and missed the important part.
It's not really relevant, but I'm having a hard time picturing a household that consumes 200 unique items every week. Must be pretty fancy.
I posted this in another reply chain but:

I still use Chrome on my phone, so I get tab sync back by switching, which I gave up to gain tab groups.

I buy in to Google's ecosystem with a personal account and 2 business accounts. The slight integration is nice.

I also generally prefer Chromes UI.

So Chrome has at least 3 points in its favor, Firefox has Tab Groups, which are going away, and the idea that Mozilla is sort of more benevolent than Google, which doesn't really move me.

I know Firefox has more to offer others but thats how it shakes out for me.
"Trickle down" has never made any sense to me. Maybe it's different at big companies, but at small ones 100% of the hiring I've observed goes something like this: "uh oh, we have[1] more business coming in than we can handle, better hire!". Never, ever "welp, we have extra cash, better hire for... uh, some reason". Extra money without an actual need to hire more workers might go into marketing or sales, but only to a (lowish) point.

[1] Usually "we have", but sometimes "we anticipate".
Yeah but presumably as the end user you'd still want to interface with a single entity, even if behind the scenes they're then aggregating, filtering, etc. But yeah any humans employed by them doing that work are probably at risk.
I honestly don't remember that. I could easily have predicated what would come up in the article, the G have a bizarre fascination with that mini-shuttle protesting story. It comes up in pretty much every tech/SV story. Throw in a bunch of anecdotes, a few jabs at gentrification (because it's only tech people who are responsible for it, not planning etc), the hilarious implication that most techies work for the big companies listed when you and I both know that bs, a video of a few morons from Dropbox and somehow that all equates to techies being the new bankers? Really? That's got past an editor?
Discussion over security concerns is valid and helpful in moving the conversation forward. Outrage over something we don't even understand doesn't help anyone. Especially when people are presenting a strawman/misrepresenting the details.

Computer security requires you to model the threat first, before proposing mitigations/solutions/tradeoffs/etc. Has this been done here? I'm merely asking since I don't know. Questions by themselves might lead us to an interesting path of inquiry, but we should also occasionally ground ourselves so we know what actually happens when the rubber meets the road.
I would compare it to Google/Alphabet. They have acquired enough companies and have a tight relationship with enough autonomous projects to need the structure of a holding, but the place remains at its core a technology company.

Google decided to brand the holding differently, which probably makes good marketing sense.
There are lots of complicated interactions with things like pension funds and mortgages that can easily push your "income" over $100k/yr even if your salary is nowhere near that level, which is at any rate, not all that much these days especially for people in the Hacker News industries.

It's a pretty terrible systems.
I think there's a difference between providing your own seed content and fake users. In the case of a forum, I see nothing ethically wrong with having a user role marked "Staff Writer" or some-such.
This is a fundamentally different meaning of the word "archiving" than GitHub is using.

The new feature "archives" in the sense that it adjusts the repo to be read-only, so that folks can view it on GitHub without being able to PR or file issues. Like historical preservation.

Your example is "archive" in the sense of "have a backup of", which is something more folks should definitely be doing, but isn't a replacement for GitHub's new feature.
Agreed. It made me stop reading after the first paragraph.
>Most industries require contact with other humans, and implicate you in their happiness.

Most do, but many don't. Including some that were considered prestigious jobs (Wall Street, law firms, etc). A number of these jobs involved really boring grunt work with minimal contact with others.
Thank you for the insight. It is one thing what holds in theory, and quite another what happens in reality, as you point out.
Did they ever want to? I would bet many people prefer the toy to be delivered at home rather than going to Walmart also. Only difference is now we have that option.
Certainly there is. However, how much interaction do you expect to get if you are one of hundreds of students? Also there are probably other people who also teach/research this. It might be more relevant if you are doing a PHD.
Amazon, Facebook, Google, AirBnB, Uber, Match, etcetera are all middlemen.

They provide an interface between parties who wish to exchange information, goods, services, and time.

The nature of middle-people businesses is changing, but they're not going away.
Yeah, agreed - but that paragraph was worded in such a way as to convey "screw the users for spiking use, such that the application is now unavailable, and now ALL business halts..." -- Or did I misinterpret that?
They could (you know, theoretically) copy Robinhood's business model and its evolution - allow users to trade algorithmically with their own accounts, offer them up as sacrificial lambs to HFT, and then offer credit, and so on.

1) I not maintain icecream https://github.com/icecc/icecream/ I didn't start it, I took it over because the other maintainers moved on and I badgered them enough with about a couple patches that they made me maintainer. (theoretically they still are maintainers, but I don't think they even look at it any more)

2,3) People mostly have known about this project. There are a lot of old blog posts. One advantage of a project being 10 years old is people may not have used it, but they have heard of
it so when they (or someone they know) need it we come to mind.

4) Unfair? that depends. There are a lot of open source projects that are useful to exactly one person. If this is your project it is unfair to waste every bodies time marketing something they will not need. If you cannot honestly say the project is useful to someone else the time spent on marketing is a waste. In particular a lot of projects are started despite an existing project doing similar things (often as a fork), it is a lot of work to give the new project something that is compellingly better for more than just you.

On that note, I'll note that icecream and distcc do similar things. I have spoken to the maintainers of distcc and we agree with the principal that the features of icecream should be ported into distcc and then icecream killed. However since we forked distcc has got their own versions of our features. There are specific cases where only one way works, while the next the other way is the only one that works. As such I don't think we will ever port back despite a desire to do so.
IIRC, Jeff Atwood of Discourse said it takes at least three years for a project to finally approach the objectives that it set out to achieve (or something). I'm sure he was referring to his experience with Discourse and Stack Exchange at the very least.

I might have butchered that, but three years has been my experience as well. I chuckled when I read that post because the three year mark was finally when I looked back on my forum, felt somewhat content with it, and went "holy shit, that took a while".

My forum had active users from day one since I was porting vBulletin to my own stack. I actually used Clojure + Datomic for the first iteration and rewrote it to Node + Postgres a year later.

As developers it's easy for us to go "3 years? Psh! What are you doing all that time!" because we like to pretend everything is just a pure technical problem and consistently underestimate the work. I certainly wasn't working on my forum for 3 years full time.

It was a hobby balanced on community building and creating a compelling experience for my users. It took a week to build the initial release where people could actually register and post. From there I'd burst a week of full-time development work into it every 1-3 months.

I'm glad I experienced this journey, though bless my poor users that had to wait on me to implement basic conveniences over the years. I can say with certainty that I will never go "hah, that looks easy!" ever again.
Regardless of the platform, if you are considering direct real estate investment (versus a REIT), the most important thing you can do is educate yourself. Direct real estate investing can get very complicated very quickly: You have to potentially evaluate the sponsor/real estate company, the surrounding market, the assumptions being made that lead to the target returns, etc. Unfortunately, most "educational" material you find is really focused on the idea of "getting rich quick" versus real education. I'll shamelessly plug our podcast (https://www.realcrowd.com/blog/tags/podcast/). While we are a direct marketplace, we strive to make our educational material, including our podcast unbiased education and not a commercial for our platform. We have received a lot of great feedback.
Major factors:

In 1900 there were almost no taxes - A lot of taxation is not just for 'services' - it's distributional. So there's that.

Literacy, voting, emancipation - this to me is the biggest in the long run. People have skills, professions, they can create/read contracts, everyone can hire a lawyer, there is rule of law. There's much dynamism and much ado. In 1900 almost all of us lived on farms. The economy is way more diversified now.

Labour Unions - just started real power about then. Also maybe an awakening in business: Ford paid his staff a lot more so they could actually buy Model T's. There's some deep insight there.

Mass Media - radio, TV, internet. Information equalizers.

Gender Equality - female workforce participation exploded during the war and I think peaked about 20 years ago. This is a massive shift in economic outcomes.

Teddy Roosevelt - he broke up 40 (!!!) monopolies. Wow. Think about that. Basically, America was possibly taken over by corporate cabals who, in a less diversified economy could control everything. This was I think a huge thing. And though we can think of G, FB etc as monopolies, I don't think they have quite the relative strength. I'm still more worried about Wallmart and Amazon ...
My biggest pet peves of both neovim and vim8 is that there are like 5 different (and complicated) ways to get plugins, none of which are compatible with the other.

Compare this to VSCode, Atom or IntelliJ.
The chart itself is called a sparkline.[1] Neat use to organize many of them into the shape of the US

There are two things about Snapchat that rub Chinese authorities the wrong way:

1) Ephemeral messaging. They want to keep records of what people are saying.

2) Reputation for sexting. Pornography is a major target for censorship in China.
I'd imagine this is also partly due to the America's demographic changes and the aging population. The large baby boomer generation is retiring and entering a period in their lives where their consumption is lower. Generation X is smaller and can't keep up the consumption. Generation Y is slowly entering a consumption phase.
It prevents you from leaving if you can't afford to pay the tax. And lol, how is an exit tax even remotely fair? Would you have described the USSR's exit visas as fair too? The US acts like it owns its citizens as property. The tax regime around citizenship is dangerously close to crossing the line to slavery.
and the body can't act as a giant capacitor because it would guarantee the car would explode spectacularly if it ever hit something with enough force to compromise the body panels :-)

I think some designer pooped, err popped, out this 'look' and said "Ohh, I love how futuristic this looks!" let's have a thought shower on how many amazing technologies it might contain without constraining ourselves to reality.

Generally such exercises are useful for helping engineers think outside their generally conservative and self imposed parameters. Even when the actual concept is not really a viable design.
I think it’s a bit naïve to think that Intel wouldn’t have built this thing, if they didn’t have MINIX as a starting point. They could have used another open source kernel, or a commercial kernel like QNX, or even built their own from scratch.

That some people use OSS for nefarious purposes does not mean that we should stop OSS.
I wouldn't care at all if it would be a separate feature that could be inserted at an IT department's discretion into corporate boxes. They can be the Staasi for all I care; it's their machines for their purposes. But I don't want any such chip on my machines and the only way to essentially get away from it is to fork over $7000 and do all my work on an IBM Power server.
I'm not following how Realtyshares/Fundrise/Realtymogul would have faired better in 2008 than traditional REITs.

Yes, VGSIX dropped to a third of its original value in six months in 2008. But, those same shares have increased 40% in the past 10 years.

If you had used a vehicle like Realtyshares/Fundrise/Realtymogul there is a good chance that the specific property you invested in would have gone belly up. Your investment today would be zero.

The diversification that a product like VGSIX provides insulates you from the specific risk of an individual investment.
I'm surprised you do not mention illuminati somewhere.
"All previous artistic beauty that was in SF is just gone now and replaced with tech kids"

What "artist beauty" are you talking about?

Some of the areas that "tech kids" took over were basically slums (like around the Tenderloin), or (much more frequently) industrial eyesores in SOMA. None of these had the least "artistic beauty" about them that I could discern.

Now opposite the rows of shuttered businesses around the Tenderloin and warehouses of SOMA there are some nice, new, open businesses, with employees that spend money on other local businesses, helping to revitalize the area.

Speaking of "artistc beauty", have you looked in to the lobbies of some of the office buildings on Market St around the Civic Center BART? Some of those have truly impressive, beautiful, and creative art displays inside. Some artists were hired to create those. Money that would not have been spent and artists who would not have been hired had the "tech kids" not come around.
