Still very different from a managed-hosting offering like WP Engine.

Can you put me on GCP/WP waitlist if such an offering is in the works? ;)

Quality of HN commentary is down and the flagging epidemic is part of it.

The problem is sinking and killing discussions that already got going. A minority of selfish users gets to demolish collaborative work that other users already invested in.

The incentives are for lower effort from commenters. A downward spiral.
I am just starting to get annoyed by the typical self help advice like "Take risks", "Do what you fear the most". There are people who succeed that way but for plenty of people it doesn't work not so well. Unfortunately you only hear from the former group.
Processing is different. The camera won't capture the same thing you see with your eye. A lot of processing is done to try and make the photograph feel the same as it did to actually view the scene with your own eye. And that's perfectly fine.
But none of that has anything to do with securing Americans' data. Also, even if that 40% figure is true, which I doubt, it's not like banks are going to care until they run out of people they'd like to loan money to.

Meanwhile, regular non-bank Americans get screwed in ways that could have been mitigated by regulation. In economic terms, that's called an externality, a concept which is covered in any reasonable Econ 101 book. The foolish solution to a market failure is more market.
It actually looks like a good guide... enough to get started in the topic... at least until I saw the question on how to implement GDPR:

"If you’re not sure about their compliance, time to act. You’ll need to contact them and make sure they confirm they’re GDPR complaint. That image needs to be 100% completed."
There were API changes to make the translation happy, in many cases where conventions weren't being followed strictly.
Slightly off topic, but since you work remote, how is internet connectivity there? Are you able to get decent speed for a reasonable price, or is it as bad as some say?

‘Bitcoin is my potential pension’: What’s driving people in KY to join the craze
I developed new appreciation for car manufacturing from this article. The way that one component depends on other common components reminded me of NPM packages.

I'm wondering what if they found one car infringing another car's design or engineering IP without fulfilling a license, or if they would find certain car makers "reinvent the wheel" simultaneously. A lot of car makers need to properly license certain design from other car makers. I wonder if this also helps facilitating and defending these licensable designs, or encouraging open sourcing design in cars.

I suspect the overall outcome of finding similar design and borrow existing design from one car maker into another is a good thing for bringing the cost down.
this negates previous argument how exactly?
But I think it clearly shows the standard of journalism we live with. This is a headline about numbers so we can easily debunk it by looking at the numbers, but almost every headline you read has been sensationalized in a similar fashion. This is the kind of reporting you expect from tabloids.
Toyota probably signed unfavorable deals with their OEM that require them to pay hefty royalties on every map update. The terms may have seemed reasonable at the time, and now they're stuck with them. It may not be entirely their fault.

You're silly if you just look at one day point/percentage drops. I'm not saying we're in for another recession, but many of the other events in the table you linked are actually part of a cluster of big drops, spread over several days. There was a ~600pt drop last Friday. It'll be fun to see what the rest of the week is like!
> you'd want to have those primitives defined in the exchange language spec itself

I agree with this: certain things need to be in the spec.

> even if you'd end up implementing them as reader macros in CL (which I don't recommend - reader macros turn your READs into EVALs, which you obviously shouldn't do on untrusted input).

This I don't agree with, because technically #\( & #\" are reader macros … they're just very well-defined reader macros. Presumably a spec which defined hash tables, regular expressions or whatever would define them as well as the Lisp spec defines lists and strings (and if not, well — it's a bad spec!).
Firstly, I highly respect Lisp personally, and I have no intention of downplaying it. As some have seen, the Lisp spirit is actually in the design of Mark.

Secondly, to clarify what I mean by 'being more modern'. Of course, it does not mean changing from () to <> or {}, will make it more modern or something better.

Being 'more modern' means Mark takes a JS-first or web-first approach in its design. Whether we like it or not, JS has dominated the web. JSON is successful, partly because it takes a JS-first approach. Mark inherits this approach.

Being JS-first, means there'll be least adoption barrier in web.

Being JS-first, of course does not mean JS-only. Mark is designed to be generic and used by other programming languages like JSON.

I am not averse to new formats. I am averse to formats that try to “unify”.

Podcasts is definitely worse in iOS 11

UI is worse, for example it takes more clicks to get to my podcast’s timeline of episodes. I constantly feel lost.

It’s buggy like hell,
- Podcasts don’t update as well. Before, I could load the app, swipe the fist screen, and all my new podcasts would start loading (with the efficiency and reliability of Apps updates). Now, I walk out the front door and a plus icon jumps in and the podcast isn’t downloaded.

cloud/arrow and circle/square are more intuitive. plus just pops up to tell me I’m SOL.

Yesterday I clicked through on a download in listen now to the episode screen, started play, and I had a different icon/episode in the ‘playing now’ zone and a completely different file playing.

These issues infuriate me every time I use Podcasts. Don’t get me started about WiFi preference to pick the Cable Company’s WiFi hot spot over my home even when the phone is less than 4’ away!
To anyone running a website: PLEASE don’t hijack swipe gestures for navigation between articles. It interferes with the OS gestures and is infuriating.

The new keyboard is surprisingly amazing but the lack of ports is just embarrassing. At work we have this "who brought the dongle to the meeting?" game. With my personal laptop I will wait for the next version.
The headline is enough to determine the reason this article exists. It's just denial that common people will suffer. They're just reassuring themselves that some minor changes will make sure big time investors and managers aren't the bad guys. Later when it doesn't pan out that way, they can blame the bad advice.

The story of the Luddites was also spun this way. But that only became true of the new/later workforce, much of the old workforce was unable to adapt effectively.

The thrust of the study is that people low in agreeableness have a low opinion of more or less everybody and all groups, whereas previously it had been thought they were prejudiced against low status groups.

Seems relevant to this discuss about Mencken

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16199762

> Existing meta-analytic evidence finds that low levels of Openness and Agreeableness correlate with generalized prejudice. However, previous studies relied on restricted operationalizations of generalized prejudice that only assessed prejudice toward disadvantaged, low-status groups. Across four samples (total N = 7,543), we tested the associations between Big Five traits and generalized prejudice using an inclusive operationalization of generalized prejudice. A meta-analysis of these findings indicates that Openness was only very weakly related to inclusive generalized prejudice, r = -.03, 95%CI [-.07, -.001], whereas low Agreeableness was reliably associated with inclusive generalized prejudice (r = -.23, 95%CI [-.31, -.16]). We additionally found that perceived target ideology moderated relationships between Openness and Conscientiousness and prejudice, and that perceived target status moderated relationships between Agreeableness and Extraversion and prejudice. These results provide new and more nuanced insights into the relationship between personality and prejudice.
Most of my experiences with Java were during college with Eclipse. I just remember finding it rather frustrating to have the autocomplete regularly popping up and showing me dozens of options without an easy way of learning more about em.

At some point I read through the Kotlin docs and found it interesting, but didn't have any projects in mind for it. I might try my hand again along with IntelliJ / Android Studio.

I've happily used other JetBrain products such as RubyMine and WebStorm.
Hope some of these speed tweaks make it into other CMS like Drupal.

In the USA, not only did the area code used to be specific to a given location, but the prefix (first 3 of 7 digits) used to identify the zone you were in within a prefix. Your "local" calling area (numbers you could call without per-minute charges) was determined by your prefix and would include numbers in prefixes that were within your zone. IIRC, a prefix was in your local zone if any number within it was within 15 miles of any point of your zone. Local phone books would list the prefixes that were local calls and those that were in progressively farther zones (with corresponding per-minute cost increases).

I set up cheap calling systems for nonprofits back then. Three well-chosen calling points could cover all of the greater San Jose area (including southern Fremont and up through Menlo Park) with purely local, free calls.

Flagging is something users do on HN, not mods.

If you have enough karma, you can vouch for flagged items. You can also email the mods if you think it merits mod intervention. I have done so a few times to say stuff like "It is a good article with a bad title. I think users are flagging in reaction to the title without reading it." In such cases, they sometimes turn off flags and retitle the piece.

Large group dynamics are inevitably messy and complicated. It doesn't really help to get up in arms about that fact.
Think your point that the value of different kinds of privacy varies with cultural norms and as such, may be over-valued, is an interesting one but have to object to this part - don't think it's a good example.

> Just one example: in the US if someone is involved in egregious fraud (such as ripping off thousands of individuals in a scam) then the US says that such information constitutes news and that even if its old information from a decade ago its relevant, and a platform like Kickstarter or Google can keep the information online for users to assess before transacting with the individual.

So long as it's profitable, scammers are going to find ways to scam no matter what, such creating fake identities in this case. I'd rather trade that against a teenager committing suicide because of revenge porn.

In the video you linked, the brightness/aperture has been jacked up so much that the moon appears to be blindingly white. This just makes it blow out the wispy clouds in front of it so you can't see the clouds. This effect is clearly not possible for a normal moon.
One of the, ah, interesting Wayland quirks related to this is that because Gnome didn't believe people needed the ability to minimize windows the original wl_shell protocol for creating and managing windows had no way to represent this action.

So in order for minimizing windows to work, every app has to use an extension called xdg_shell to create and manage their windows instead, one that's not guaranteed to be present and kept changing in backwards-incompatible ways. (Not just any version either; it has to be xdg_shell v5 or later. Also, apparently versions before v6 can't coexist with each other, trying to use a mismatched version just stops the application from working at all.)

I believe xdg-shell is officially stable as of December, so it'll be a while before it's supported everywhere and we don't yet know what happens if people discover more use cases that have to be added. This happened quite some time after major distros started shipping Wayland by default.

If the regulatory burden for starting a new car company was that high, you would have never seen Tesla, which means you would never see any pressure on the big guys to go all electric. So you need to balance regulation with innovation.
Well-paying contracts are tools that big boring corporations use to lure talent that they couldn't otherwise get... Then if you stick around long enough, you start to get comfortable in the role; that's when they offer you a full time position for half the pay - By that point your skills have become so specialised for that specific company/role that you don't really have any alternatives anymore. You're a house-broken dog; while you weren't paying attention, they hooked you up on the leash and are now sleeping in the kennel.
I have big respect for software contractors who manage to keep doing contracting past their 40s.
The point you are still missing is that better credit rating leads to lower interest and more efficient investing.
I dunno, I thought the BBC's coverage laid out some possible rationales without being too over-the-top. And while it isn't a tabloid, they aren't exactly a finance-focused paper:

http://www.bbc.com/news/business-42942921

>...It is the largest fall in percentage terms since August 2011, when markets dropped in the aftermath of "Black Monday" when Standard & Poor's downgraded its credit rating of the US.

>US investors are reacting to small but significant changes in the outlook for the American economy, and what that might mean for the cost of borrowing.

>The stock market sell-off accelerated on Friday when the US Labour Department released employment numbers which showed stronger growth in wages than was anticipated.

>If salaries rise, the expectation is that people will spend more and push inflation higher.

>To keep that under control, America's central bank will need to raise interest rates, which is what has spooked investors who were expecting the US Federal Reserve to increase rates only two or three times this year.

>They now predict there may be a few more interest rate rises on the horizon.

>Monday's sell-off was driven by firms moving to sell stocks to put more money into assets such as bonds which benefit from higher rates, says Erin Gibbs, portfolio manager for S&P Global Market Intelligence. ...
I must be missing something, but I don't see how the actual text of the paper originates from the source code. Those C instructions actually compile into the sentences of the paper as well?

That's fine if you're prepared to trust them as a kind of root authority. But it's not always appropriate. By sending an email and having the user visit the activation link you confirm with fairly high certainty that they are in possession of the email being used.

In the abstract, I agree with you. In practice, I've found that a lot of people react to being treated that way in the same way they might react to being slapped. This is not always the best way to further a productive conversation.
It's literally common lisp down to the use of pre-expressions with no binding as pragmas. It's like lisp someone dropped on a char and now all the parenthesis have a funny bump.

But it's not literally lisp in the sense that the meta-syntactic stuff isn't there.
Manufacturing is a large industry, but it's what China was targeting in the 1950s. They're aiming higher now. Most of the tech transfer is around next gen industries, such as batteries.

And as for who is forcing foreign companies to do this? Hilariously enough, capitalism. Multinationals can't afford to miss selling to the Chinese market, or their board / shareholder's vote them out. So they're left to strike the best deal they can get, given that the outcome is already known by both parties. (Exceptions like Google exist, but it does have an atypical stock structure)

From the Minneapolis Fed (2016), https://www.minneapolisfed.org/research/economic-policy-pape... (the first authoritative source I could find):

"China’s quid pro quo policy also helps account for the unusual global investment flow. Chinese policy requires multinational firms that want access to China’s huge market to transfer partial property rights to their technology, often through R&D centers or joint ventures with Chinese firms (Holmes, McGrattan and Prescott 2015a, 2015b)."

With all due respect did you not watch the video? Much of the focus was on safety during an accident.

The 3 they were looking at had two points to cut the electrical system, both of which were hard to get to during an accident, and the rear doors had no mechanical backup at all. If power goes out rear passengers need to make their way to the front seats or trunk.

Maybe watch the actual video rather than imagining what the video was to say and then responding to that.

The complexity and latency arguments are winners, clearly. And yet here we are.

If you refuse to support remote displays, then you can probably get away with not caring about latency. And who wants to support remote displays anyways? Oh, well, right, ssh display forwarding, RDP, -- these exist for a reason: users need remote displays! But if you can't run a browser remotely because the latency is huge, and because every redraw involves sending entire canvasses across the network, then you've clearly lost the war to support remote displays.

(Keep in mind that no one needs a remote display to run an xterm. If the app isn't graphical there's no point. And if the app is graphical then redrawing by resending everything that the server has already seen... is just so much hating your users.)

Actually the intraday indicative value, i.e. the value of the underlying VIX strategy has to go down by 80%, not the market price of the ETN.

Though right now I think we are close. The ticker is XIVIV. I just closed my bbg but I think we were pretty much there. I don't know if non standard trading hours matter though.

The trade was too crowded. Too many people shorting the VIX without looking at the risks. This ETN lost 80% of its value in a matter of days in 2011, and tanked 40% intraday in Aug 2015. It is too easy to forget the risks.
