I might see how this could work with a movie or music file, but not an image. The premise behind the value is the exclusive ownership of the image. But you can just screenshot it. I don't understand how any notion of "ownership" factors in here.
Then I guess you build better license plate scanning technology. That isn't obvious?
Yes, because:

- the theatre chains only have mostly generic datasets (the audience for movie X is mostly young white males) while MoviePass can do far more detailed analysis (and, in theory, could pass detailed questionnaires after you watched a movie, thus gathering more personalized data)

- online movie booking services (at least in my social bubble) are only used for movies where people think they don't have a chance to get a ticket without an early reservation

- movie review sites only have tiny bits of data about the readers, and the reviewer dataset is skewed - it only provides data about the people caring enough to do a review.
Gotcha, that makes sense. I hadn’t considered programmers who don’t know html/css and don’t care to learn it.
I fall into the category of a technical user who could build their own, however I use existing ones as:

- It's faster and I already have more fun projects than my time allows.

- I don't particularly enjoy writing HTML/CSS (though the rest of the project would be fun).

- I'm happier using an existing template rather than making my own. I know I'll be too critical of the design if I do it myself.
improper fallback settings when a service is unavailable;

I don't see how one couldn't replicate those in an environment other than the production. They all involve bringing down complete services and sending some unexpected high load to other services.
Ask HN: What tools for collaboration do you use for study groups?
I'm starting a group for learning to code at my workplace, and an early hurdle we're reaching is being able to communicate outside of work. We use Slack at my workplace, but I don't think that'll be the best form of communication for this.

I was thinking either Google Groups or a phpBB forum, but neither of these are a perfect fit either. These may be the best option, but I was hoping others here have run into this before.

If you have any tips in general about starting a group like this, I'm completely open to those as well! Cheers!
No. I’m sorry, but the Nazis were, objectively, „the baddies“ in every moral system but their own. And Germans of the time knew enough to come to that conclusions.

It’s possibly right that there is not much use in blaming the opportunists of the time, mostly because there were to many to punish them all. But there also were a significant number who risked or lost their lives in opposition, and this “history is written by the winners” cynicism does more to besmirch the latter, than it absolves the former.

Thank you. This is what was missing from Wikipedia and other comments.
Which is why notebooks typically a) declare all imports/dependencies in the first block and b) the entire notebook is rerun from a fresh session before publishing (and notebooks have a keyboard command for doing that too).

Look, I don't particularly want this to degrade into a stupid pointless flame war, but getting this sort of thing right does matter.

Given the relative gender disparity in the technology field, it's easy to make the assumption that any given developer is a man – we all do it sometimes! It's useful to have that pointed out when we're wrong, so that we can be reminded that we sometimes make incorrect assumptions, and eventually it hopefully won't happen as much.

None of the comments along those lines have been needlessly faux-offended, or attacking anyone – just pointing out a mistake that it would be good to rectify. It's really not harming anyone :)
It would be scary if someone found a flaw in their API or data that exposed who went where from where everyday. It may not be stored that way but people who work at secure locations aren't allowed to bring in cell phones or workout watches but they still bring them to the parking lot showing who works where. If a flaw like this is discovered it would obviously be bad.

>It looks nice, but I guess I still[1] don’t understand the proliferation of simple static site generators. It’s pretty easy (and fun!) to build your own that works exactly as you want it to.

I don't think that's true. It looks deceptively easy up front but the subtleties involved actually make it pretty hard. I've tried hugo, jekyll and pelican and they've all pissed me off for one reason or another. A common issue involves one of the 'template' themes I found on their template theme libraries not working on the "latest" version of the generator.

Ivy seems to have "solved" this problem by having almost no themes. This is not exactly the solution I was thinking of...

There's still a gap in the market here I think, and there will continue to be a proliferation (like how there was with bad javascript toolsets until jquery 'won' ~2007-8) until somebody makes an acceptably 'good' one or fixes an existing one until it obviously stands head and shoulders above the rest.

If you can make a well designed static site generator with lots of nice themes (or the potential for that) that doesn't fail horribly when I try to use it in a normal fashion I'd switch to it in a heartbeat and tell all of my friends. I'm using hugo now, but I'm not super happy about it: last problem with that being that I couldn't get it to competently handle breadcrumb navigation.
It would. That's why genuine cases of people who did resist should be celebrated over mock "turnarounds" after the fact.

(That said, after some time, things should be forgiven anyway. No much reason to punish a 90 year old today for when he did when he was a Nazi as 18-20 years old -- as sometimes happens).
No, since you can obviously implement Javascript in ways that have other memory usage patterns.

Hi, thanks, that all makes sense. I was asking why there are so many static site generators and why you wouldn’t just create a custom static site generator yourself, not why you would use one. I use one myself. Based on some of the other replies, I can see that there are use cases for not creating your own - when you aren’t a programmer, or when you don’t know or care to learn html and css, or when an existing generator already does all that you need.

You say that, but in two previous homes I've purchased, assembled and fitted IKEA kitchens - they were far better quality than other options in the same price range, and even held a candle to ones costing 2x as much. Solid oak for the doors and drawer fronts, good quality hinges and handles - the cabinets themselves were just laminated chipboard, but unless you're spending £££ that's the same for most kitchen suppliers.

Recently had a look at property listings, and both homes have been on the market recently, and both still have the kitchen I fitted 10 and 15 years ago, both still looking excellent.

As with most brands, they sell cheap throwaway things as well as more expensive, but that means that people who need furniture but would otherwise not be able to afford anything (unless they got everything 2nd hand) can furnish a home.
Learning how to program, especially when one doesn't come about it through self-selected autodidactism, can often seem to be an insurmountable challenge to people who don't know how.

This applies to even extremely technical, highly intelligent people. Often they recognize that there's an extraordinary time component to learning, and they optimize around that in other ways.

Learning to program is a weird thing because once you learn the mental processes of how to do it, it comes fairly easily. But the idea of "I'd like a tool that makes websites for me" and then knowing how to divide that problem down to the right mental abstraction model that perfectly (or near perfectly fits) some programming language and technical environment is a very difficult learning curve.

It's much simpler then to present small technical pieces that are well constrained in scope and definition and have tooling somebody else built do all the rest of the heavy lifting.

Static site generators are one of those things that are relatively easy, even for newish programmers, to build, but exist right on the other side of that learning curve for non-programmers.

>What is missed in all of this is the mindset of craftsmanship; that one’s expertise and deliberate focus on one’s craft is actually the primary driver for success and not some crapshoot of a series of hacks.

I'm all for craftsmanship for the sake of it, but this statement is naive.

You need craftsmanship for some type of businesses. For the rest, you do not. I have seen way too many people become successful financially with spaghetti, and even more who never got off the ground because they felt honing their craft would bring in more money.

If you're trying to run a business, be as good as you need to be. I suspect many/most businesses will not benefit from becoming a master.
Not affecting real customers is kind of the point of controlled experiments.
Yeah, business. So about those transaction fees... you can save money by grouping your transactions and clearing them in blocks.

Now you're dangerously close to figuring out that you can make more money by waiting for the best time to clear the block.

Once you've crossed that bridge, if your business has any margin at all, it's not hard to imagine that keeping some of the exchanged crypto currency back from each clearing block until the next block, or even longer, during any bullish run (that we've seen on more than one occasion) can result in a measurable margin increase with a fairly low (or at worst, quantified) risk profile.

Pebble was a terrible device, and riddled with horrble design decisions.

From the word “go” you knew Pebble was trying to lock you in, register and count you as a user, log demographic information about you, and tether that information to unique device identifiers.

You could not simply use Pebble as a watch, if so desired. Pebble enforced specific behaviors onto the user.

For example, you couldn’t just like the looks of the watch, buy it, take it out of the box, wear it, and use it to tell time. No.

Open the box, and the watch directs you to an internet connection, so it can phone home to the mothership. Really? Really?

To me, that reeks of exploitation, and the goal was never to provide people with a good watch that does stuff. Open the box, and push people around. Make them clap their hands and sing along.

Sorry guys. You made serious mistakes. People notice. Good riddance.
Ideally, it's best practice to create two things: the powerpoint presentation that allows you to exhibit diagrams and charts that illustrate what you are saying, but then secondly a handout that puts in text what you've said, and includes the same diagrams. You speak your piece, using PPT to show diagrams only, not slide-after-slide of words (the words are coming from your mouth). That means the PPT as a handout is useless, and you have to create a separate 3 page (or so) text document that also includes the graphics.

That however is extra work - and a lot of extra time, and hardly anyone does it. The real culprit here is the "time saving shortcut" of simply printing out your PPT as a handout. In order to make it useful, you need the words on the slides. Now you've got slide-after-slide of bullet point lists and text, and that urges you to commit the second sin, which is turning your back to the audience and reading the slides from the stage.

To automatically to revert to good form, the trick is to realize there are three things: the words you speak, the images you project on the screen, and a handout that combines both. That allows PPT to revert to what it is truly good at, which is showing pictures on the screen.

But ... it's more work!

> And what you are entirely missing in the philosphical basis for the constitution is the principle that we have natural rights that are independent of any government and that government is established in order to protect those rights,

That is among the purposes of government in the view of the “philosophical basis of the Constitution”, but not it's sole purpose that stands alone. Now, on the one hand, I really deeply understand that and the balancing of multiple interests that went into the Constitution because I have a degree in Political Science that was focussed predominantly on the theory and practice of government in the United States, but on the other hand I would probably know it without that because the first sentence of the Constitution, while not going into detail about the whole conflicting set of concerns that led to the drafting of the Constitution, lists six purposes, including a different phrasing of the purpose you identify (as the last of the six.)

> I'm so tired of hearing people shit on the constitution and it's principles

And I'm sick of people lying about its content, it's principles, and its role in American history to advance political agendas, and I'm sick of people treating it like holy writ, too.

This may be true for small- to mid-sized fortunes, but not for the really large ones. Ikea in particular is a counter-example for this. They operate a super-tight network of companies, funds and trusts in multiple countries apart from Sweden like the Netherlands and some off-shore tax paradises and perform any possible trick, including the usual fake self-licensing tactics, to reduce their tax burden to next-to-nothing.

The difference to Amazon and Co. is mostly that Ikea is privately-owned, thus you can't simply invest some money in them to at least reap some of the profits of these tactics for yourself. The profits all pile up in private vaults of the owner, which is basically the Kamprad family (with exact ownership stakes being unknown of course, another difference from the publicity requirements that public companies are required to meet).

1) I've read enough biomedical literature to know there is a source claiming just about anything you can think of. So regardless of what you mean, my answer is: "there is at least one such source".

3) If you are thinking of a particular paper, why not just say it?

I'd say if the formatting changes the meaning of the language, Unicode should support it. So if you are searching through text, any change to your query string that you would like to constrain the text that matches should be supported by Unicode. Unicode should at least support anything that affects the semantic equality of strings.

> One of the earliest HTC android devices, after the Evo 4G, was a version with a slide out keyboard.

The first Android phone (let alone the first HTC Android) was the HTC Dream, with a physical keyboard. Back in those days Android didn't even have a software keyboard -- you had to use the physical keyboard.

By the time the Evo 4g came out, hardware keyboards were already considered second class citizens. The Evo Shift 4g had a worse screen, worse camera, and a worse CPU than the Evo 4g despite being released a year later.

Thankfully a few companies have picked up the UMPC market, with products like the GPD Win and the Gemini PDA. I don't need a hardware keyboard on my phone, but I do need a portable device with one for emergency SSH sessions while on the road.
