> People have always hung out with their own age cohort.

That does not mean they are not living in a bubble. There are always people in other age cohorts that they could associate with. Nobody is saying that bubbles are not natural. You find them everywhere in nature! It is indeed natural to be in a bubble with your own age cohort, but remains a bubble of your own making. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from popping that bubble and exposing yourself to people in other age groups and careers. After all, those outside the bubble represent the majority of the population.
Same here, and they’ll pry it out of my cold, dead hands. I have a tablet and laptop for portable computing, I want my phone to be maximally portable, and a phone.
We've had tabbed UIs for a while now. Ribbon is literally just a tab UI displaying options...
Uh, how is this “overly broad”? I’m not against prosecuting anything like this:

> knew that its website was being used to post ads for illegal prostitution and child sex trafficking, and directly edited such ads to make their illegality less conspicuous

From what I can tell, this is merely allowing stares to prosecute them, just like the federal.
Ice hockey also has the +/- metric, and as a defenseman that doesn't get a lot of goals and assists, I'm glad it's there.

You can still take it to Apple or 3rd Party to replace a battery relatively cheaply in comparison to a new phone. My 6S is like a brand new phone after the new battery.

This is not really a fair comparison though. Makefiles and package managers are orthogonal and the latter has not really replaced the former. Makefiles are like a recipe, package managers are food delivery. Somebody has still to cook the food.

That's incorrect. TFA has links to information about why that's incorrect.

In brief, however, the Ribbon is context-sensitive. Whether that deserves a patent, and whether any software should be patentable, IANAL.

Just one request. I love the YouTube JKL control keys. Any chance you could implement this on D-Tube?
Culture extermination. They’re basically trying to erase the ethnic Muslim culture but not necessarily the people. In that respect it’s not much different than what the US OR Australians did to indigenous peoples.

To be fair, a lot of that can depend on your manager. Your manager (should) have a better perspective on what resonates with the committees, help you gather/frame the data, and polish the package.

Google managers might not be the ones doing the promotion, but a good one can help you get there
The China subsidiary would be able to use the data in China, to advertise and acquire more Chinese customers.

Of course, I suggested that more for the situation where the EU had data privacy laws, and China required intense tracking of customers.

Property law turns a resource into a resource with an owner, i.e. capital.

The idea of property is the legal implementation of capitalism.
So first, you cannot save the html of any website like this. A lot of websites generate the content you'r browsing dynamically via a backend. Others will query APIs that will only answer to their domain (CORS).

What I'm saying is that a dapp can be contained into your .html and query the different APIs or the Ethereum network via your own clients/nodes.
Yes. I find projects that do not require much human communication. Some is fine.

You always have to do things you don't like when building a business. I'm just saying don't make something you don't like part of your scaling strategy.
One theory I've seen is that African megafauna evolved alongside tool using bipeds so they never had a period where they didn't have a fear instinct.

I would look at network cameras and a rooted android device.

Using an android device basically solved the 3rd party integration (e.g. auto-upload, notifications) and being root you could view cameras in real time with some I/O redirection (i.e. tell hangouts that the network camera is the phone camera) and it would have plenty of local storage and battery life. It would be easy enough to do a simple CLI over email or hangouts chat (e.g. "motion detected on camera X, here are snapshots of the last 300sec, reply "hangout camera X" to view the feed with hangouts")

Redirecting video feeds every which way from a Linux-like box is a really dead horse so there's plenty of options and documentation out there on the various details. Options for adding more security/reliability into that sort of stack are also fairly plentiful and well documented.
We use make for standardizing the way docker containers are built, pushed, tested, and run (debug and production modes). I even prefer it to docker-compose at this point, because it is more programmable.

Make's interface is horrible. Significant tabs. Syntax which relies on bizarre punctuation... If only whoever authored Make 40 years ago had had the design acumen of a Ken Thompson or a Dennis Ritchie!

We're stuck with Make because of network effects. I wish that it could just become "lost" forever and a different dependency-based-programming build tool could replace it... but that's just wishful thinking. The pace of our progress is doomed to be held back by the legacy of those poor design decisions for a long time to come.
Because most of the people complaining are tiny businesses, and the EU is the single biggest market out there.
Unless the people developing commercial HVAC are simply better software/hardware developers than consumer companies' solutions.

Sometimes this is true, relative to the purpose at hand. Take a mediocre web developer and ask them to build a smarthome system, and you end up with a wire protocol of raw, unverified, unfiltered Python code in plain trxt, running under eval() on a grossly underpowered microcontroller (true story, was fixed eventually AFAIK, not naming names).

There's something to be said for the discipline that comes from working in a resource-constrained hardware/software project. We could benefit from more cross-pollination between industries, as long as experienced engineers are sanity checking the resulting ideas (Python is not a protocol!).

In the short run, this may be a great revenue-growth opportunity for Facebook.

That said, prospective employees will want to look their best for prospective employers, and vice versa, so I have a nagging feeling that the job-posting initiative will further accelerate Facebook's ongoing transition from a network of genuine profiles and social connections to a network of puffed-up, cleaned-up social resumes and necessarily superficial connections.

I say "ongoing" because many Facebook profiles have already become puffed-up, cleaned-up social resumes, and many Facebook connections have become superficial links between people who may not necessarily like or even want to spend time with each other.
Hopefully this doesn't stick 2 years from now.

"Must apply via our Facebook listing - please have the show all photos checkbox selected" - Granted, that probably won't affect white collar workers as heavily
That seems like a hurdle that Facebook of all companies could leap if they set their minds to it. Also, there is anecdotal evidence in this very HN post of the contrary.

And I think you underestimate the utility of technological aids for old people. They are using them, more now than ever.
They are both separate examples of the problems persisting. 2008 financial crises was more than just the Glass Steagall reform. Read my comment above.
I doubt Bazel will take off for most open source projects due to being written in Java, but I do share the sentiment.

I've been meaning to try and write a somewhat saner build system to replace the Auto* hell, at least for C and C++. I'm focused on other things right now but I've been studying and collecting information about the architecture of many other build systems for a while, and some of them are so much ahead of those used in open source projects it's not even funny. At the very least I'll be writing a lengthy blog post with my findings.
Not one mention of a fishbone diagram?
TouchID was definitely one of the "must-have-new-phone-now" features that also triggered a buy for me.

My iPhone upgrades always happened due to killer features (for me at least) being introduced. When I upgraded, I always bought the most expensive option with the largest flash memory built-in because I wanted these things to last until the next killer feature was ready for mass market, and the periods in between every device have been getting longer every time.

iPhone 3G (3G networking) -> 2 years -> iPhone 4 (retina display) -> 3 years -> iPhone 5S (TouchID) -> 4 years -> iPhone X (FaceID and full-front OLED)
I've seen a number of my more blue-collar friends use Facebook as a job site on and off for years. I suspect that to a lot them, this will mostly be a formalization of things they already do.
Personally, I think of transpilation as a subset of compilation. So a transpiler is also a compiler, and a compiler that has a readable language backend can do transpilation, which is a type of compilation.
Smartphones have become a commodity, but the execs and shareholders of these companies are literally paid to not acknowledge that. That's why we get so many useless features that increase the complexity of the software for marginal (at best!) improvements.

In fact, I think the pace of technological development and the ability of these mega-corporations to essentially copy what works has decreased the timeframes for all true innovations to become commoditized.

Look what is happening to Tesla for instance! They come along with real innovations, but the head start they gained is being overtaken by the shortened timeframes necessary for others (Hello GM!) to come along and commoditize it. Soon the market will be absolutely flooded with all manner of EV's from the low-end to the high-end.

The window to capture that head start value is shortening.
I love the style. Can you put a demo "donate to me" (the actual you, the creator of the service) button so we can see the flow and/or donate?
Mathematics is understanding. What's implicit?

Yes and no. Even as a mathematician I find it much easier understand the actual mathematics if I first have an intuitive 'feel' for the thing. Even if my initial mental model is simple and incomplete I find it much easier to go from there to the formal mathematical understanding than trying. Conversely I can also find myself in situations where I can understand all the math on the page, not really grasp what it is trying to tell me until I've had a chance to 'play' around with it in some from.
Hah, that's a fascinating point to me because I always thought small countries made corruption harder because everyone will know what's going on. I wonder if for the reasons you describe the is more corruption but it has less negative impact because everyone is watching and eventually gets paid off.
Capitalism allows for many involuntary transactions.

And there are many ways to crowd source value determination without capitalism.

But you are correct “individual sovereignty over property” and “capitalism” are more or less the same idea.
I asked someone when I saw them doing similar things. They adopted the style after reading Google's style guide for shell scripts. Not sure if that's where this author got it from, but it's one possible source.
Yes, a couple issues along the way.

Honestly, they were minor enough that I don't remember the specifics, and it didn't take me long to fix.

Since they're not at v1.0 yet, this is to be expected somewhat.
Isn't the Toyota's idea of Kanban supposed to alleviate this? As in if there is some problem with the production line, anyone can push the stop button, and everyone assists?
>>Safeguards are put in place because people are prone to malice, fraud, violence, and financial fuckups in the past.

There's a difference between lawlessness and not having regulations that limit the range of contracts people are allowed to enter into. I'm not suggesting we should get rid of laws prohibiting violence, fraud, etc. I'm suggesting we should never violate the freedom to contract.

>>Mandate penalties if insiders are abusing their responsibilities and hold people accountable.

Yes we need to create a new regulatory agency that enforces these mandates. But then those who have worked in that agency will fetch a high price in the private sector.

There is rampant exploitation of insider knowledge in Wall Street:

https://www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economics/2173656...

>>The paper examines conduct at 497 financial institutions between 2005 and 2011, paying particular attention to individuals who had previously worked in the federal government, in institutions including the Federal Reserve. In the two years prior to the TARP, these people’s trading gave no evidence of unusual insight. But in the nine months after the TARP was announced, they achieved particularly good results. The paper concludes that “politically connected insiders had a significant information advantage during the crisis and traded to exploit this advantage.”

There is no practical way to police this. The only solution is to avoid measures that centralize control of the economy, chief among them government intervention in the market place.
This might work for a company with no competition and railway cars full of advertising money coming their way regardless of their actions.

In other places these things end up as a massive disaster and end up creating a culture of sabotage. There is a lot of backroom dealing that goes in these 'anonymous' committees. People who sit there aren't individual evaluators like in a public exam. They are generally people who come from teams around you. And they try to optimize and sabotage based on what is good for them. For example, a well deserving candidate's promotion can be turned down for a total irrelevant reason, while some political lackey could get promoted by adding all sort of cooked up recommendations to their 'promotion packet'. Most of the times all this is done so secretly that when promotions are announced the come across as a shock to most people. Of course people see through this all the time, and cubicles full of employee always talk of 2 + 3 not adding up to 5 in these cases.

Another huge scam in these things is the 'important work' bogey. You could have contributed way more code, fixed a lot more bugs and added a lot more value, but your promotion can be denied on the grounds of not doing 'important work'. What the definition of 'important work' is nobody knows, as its largely defined by work done by the guy getting promoted, no matter what work that is.

There are more things to this. For example, salary negotiations play another toxic game here. In most companies budgets are fixed. So a manager is likely to reward his lunch buddy far more than other people in the team. Eventually over 3 - 4 years you realize some of your team mates are now making way more disproportionate money compared to their peers and the work. This spills into all sorts of other opportunities.

The best thing I heard was from one manager, who told, if your manager isn't telling your for sure a few months in advance that you are getting promoted, you most likely aren't.

In most companies its already decided who gets promoted, they just have to do these 'promotion packet' and 'anonymous committee' rituals to cook up documentation to justify it, to protect themselves from law suits later.

All of this called 'negotiation' by those who benefit from these schemes. In reality it is getting financial and other favors in return for proximity and servitude to power.
Which means it only makes sense being profiled if the readers of those sites are your potential customers.
That is all exactly right. It is really hard to overstate just how important this is.

Even just having one or two workers collocated can create strange cultural problems and weird duplications of work due to communications breakdowns.
Thanks for that explanation.

While I agree with the sentiment about the $3 luggage locks, I think it's still important to discuss that the $3 luggage lock doesn't work (especially if it's advertised to work). Some users might have the expectation that it does work.

On the more expensive devices, while I have a limited sample, my short career in IOT security has shown me that your $100-$300 devices have pretty serious security implications.

And I think there are a couple reasons why this is the case:

Atleast some (most?) of these products are being built by average developers with average exposure to security, so like other areas of tech, should be just as vulnerable as everything else.

IOT is a young industry, so you don't have the same set of best practices and common code that you can leverage. Ever wanted to encrypt sensor data, on a cpu that's designed to operate for a year on a coin battery? Turns out you can't just run openssl and TLS to secure that low power wireless connection. And that sensor might be the one telling you're security system to trigger.

Hardware is a super competitive market, so when it turns out you're basically selling every unit at a loss to try and gain market share, it doesn't leave a huge amount of room to invest in security best practices vs. get it done and shipped. You know that wireless sensor that detects when you're home and changes you're settings, well it's basically broadcasting to the neighbourhood whether you're home or not. It's a theoretical problem (every problem is until it isn't), that someone could use that against you, so do we worry about that, or do we worry about optimizing our code so that the battery doesn't have to be changed every month.

Please keep in mind, I have limited exposure, but in my experience working on this, I think unless companies can prove they're actively investing in security (and not just saying they care about security), we should be suspicious. I can see why the industry as a whole could be failing to protect it's consumers, and probably deserves a poor reputation for security.

And because you don't hear some researcher talking about product x, doesn't mean that product doesn't have abysmal security. A friend of mine keeps telling me, in her experience security researchers on average are cheap, so they're not going to look at the $300 lock, when there is a $3 alternative to pick apart.
I think this is the perl-style "private" convention. Those functions are helpers that aren't intended to be used on their own so he prefixes them with _.
Like the design and approach, but what differentiates this from other methods? A Patreon account, PayPal donate button, and public Bitcoin address accomplishes all of the same thing.

Is it the community? The ease of setup? Don't get me wrong, the site is polished and the idea cute, but... for what purpose?
iPhone 6 Plus here. It works. The battery is still good. Why upgrade? Three years strong.
A person’s projected morale is very under-appreciated. I don’t know if I’m at the point in my career that I boost morale just by being on the team, but I do know there are people who, if they left my company, would have an impact on my morale even though I never ask them for help or work directly with them.

Just something about knowing a person is an amazing and knowledgeable resource and he’s choosing to work here of all places is a subtle morale boost. When they decide to leave, others might start asking “well if that guy left, am I still making the right decision to stay?”

I’m sure we’ve all experienced someone important leaving our company and having a waterfall of turnover that follows it. That is very disruptive and more should have been done to keep that one employee or at least keep the rest that followed them out the door.

I couldn't second this statement more. I've been on both. Remote with a colocated team is a special kind of hell. You are out of the loop on so much and the isolation is overwhelming.
