Well, I spent a lot of time before the founder departed making sure that all accounts were tied to a generic alias (admin@... or something similar). This is good practice whether or not the account is kept open, because if you close the account and then the password reset email bounces, what then?

If you convert a google account to an alias, you can solve the google doc issue (delete the account, which lets you transfer all the docs to another google account, then set up the alias).

Good point about missing the memo, but that could happen even if there was no email setup.

But I appreciate the comment and it does shed some light on the complexities of this. I still think it'd be worth it.

I'm sure it is bittersweet/complex for the departing founder as well--they get to continue to have folks email them at the same address they've had for years, but every email they receive is a reminder of the company they've left.
That's not what they are saying at all. Your pre-judging the outcome by calling the end result 'action at a distance', but action at a distance is a proposed explanation of the outcome, not the outcome itself. That's what they are trying to explain. Retrocausality is an alternative explanation of the outcome to action at a distance.
It's even weirder than that, though, because with lazy evaluation you still have a complete description of the state involved; it's just a matter of unpacking it by executing the description. That's more analogous with a hidden variables theory. With retrocausality, it seems that performing an observation fundamentally adds information to that which has been observed.

If retrocausality can be likened to a computational mechanism, I'd be really interested to know what it is! Like I said in another comment, it seems like there's some element of monotonic computation involved, but the brand of monotonicity is quite unusual.

I think there's a big difference between what the headline is implying (some kind of hugely complex, hard-to-create UI), and what the article itself is saying. From what I can gather, the devs wanted to distill the entire game experience into something that is displayable in a simple manner, and as a core driver, this affected nearly every part of the game.

I'm also watching Into the Breach with some curiosity; the game seems to be a lot of fun, and has an amazing soundtrack. I wonder if it will be as big a success as FTL, and if so, whether it will be on its own merit, or the mass following they have due to FTL.

> Easy to blame lack of affordable housing on AirBnB and not, say, rent control laws or the difficulty of building new housing stock in the city.

None of this seems relevant to the article. Did you read it before posting?

These are the topics the article covers:

- what percentage of AirBNB hosts are commercial operators that are likely breaking the NYC laws? (12%)
- how is renting income distributed? 10% of hosts account for 50% of rentals & revenue.
- where are AirBNBs contributed?
- how many "ghost hotels" are there in NYC?

I don't think there was a single sentence in the article about affordable housing. There were maybe three or four sentences on rent and each time they reiterated that rents were only up 1.4% due to AirBNB.
That can also be called "retro causality".
I'd guess that if you were to triangulate an average map it might have probably been only in the region of 1-10k triangles.

Modern graphics cards on the other hand can easily push a few million triangles every frame with decent framerates. At 10k triangles * 10 or 20 maps you could load all maps from the game simultaneously and still easily get decent fps.
You can setup any build that way (no need to use Make) but I don't think that's a good idea.

> Google Reader didn't bring Google more money, even indirectly.

Was there a way to pay for it? Further, even if a feature doesn't bring money, does it cost sufficient money to maintain to merit removing? Why not just open source it and let the community maintain it?

> Removing the headphone jack leads to less cables and less open holes in the device.

The stated excuse for this was to allow the system to be thinner. By "less cables," do you mean inside the device or outside it? For inside it, I don't know, for outside it, it has lead to all kinds of drama, such as for professional musicians who have expensive equipment that used the classic jack.

Further, it's clear to me Apple was not confident it was a good idea by the fact they included the lightning jack->headphone adaptor for free. Regarding "less open holes", don't they have waterproofing technology already? One of the big arguments I've seen that makes more sense is that by forcing audio through bluetooth or through the lightning port, they are able to push DRM. Unsure what I think about that.

This also doesn't explain why other places, like Google, are following suit, much to the dismay of their customers.

> Slack's IRC gateway wasn't very good, and nobody used it, plus its existence allows easy circumvention of some paid tier features, like logging.

I use it extensively, and a quick persual of twitter (and this comment section) shows I am not alone. Further, if "nobody used it", then why would "circumvention of some paid tier features" matter, if nobody is doing circumvention?

Now I have to make the decision whether to have a tab open, which from past experience will suck up about a gig of ram and be generally sluggish, or to use their native app, which from what I understand is basically an app wrapper around Electron and is even more sluggish than the non-app.

> expensive rent in a rural area is different than expensive rent in an urban one

I fail to see the difference, maybe you could expand?

> In a rural area, if it really comes down to it, people buy

Folks are seeking affordable rents because affordable (and habitable) property to buy is pretty much non-existent.

> or rent a plot of land and throw a prefab home or trailer on it.

Perhaps in your country, good luck with getting away with that in the UK. We've got some fairly strict planning rules that make that kinda thing more or less impossible. Also "renting a plot of land" for this type of use isn't really a thing here.

No. It's not hard to write a cross-platform app, but it _is_ more difficult and more expensive than writing an app using a cross-platform framework or web stack.

That's the tradeoff, and I wish companies would be more honest about it. But a company with as many engineers as Slack doesn't really have an excuse beyond "we want to spend less".

What confuses me about these experiments is that, per special relativity, from the point of view of the photon the moment of it's emission and detection are the same. It's traveling at the speed of light, so no time passes between those events. So talking about it's state at this or that time is not talking about it's intrinsic state, only our external view of it from our frame of reference. But in terms of a description of the photon in it's frame of reference, that's meaningless.

EDIT: Or is this what the Paris Zigzag does - treat the state of the photon and it's twin as a single state, regardless of our time-based view of it, incorporating the moment of detection, emission and detection of the entangled twin within the same description?
Not that weird in fact. For hereditary information too be properly passed on, the mechanism must be relatively stable and somewhat controllable. The known epigenetic mechanisms (e.g. methylation patterns) fit this bill.

Cell also has more than just a single set of DNA - it also inherits mitochondria and maternal mitochondrial DNA.

Maternal phenotype is important only so far as it affects cell development very early in life or has strong effect on epigenetic mechanisms. Those mechanisms are indeed affected by conditions "in the womb".

As for paternal effects, sperm is an antigen and hormone too.

The article seems to be written to a person stuck in very old view of genome and heritability. I'm pretty sure no accrual scientist in the field believes the core thesis.

> I don't think there was a single sentence in the article about affordable housing.

I'm guessing you missed the entire section on "The gentrification factor".

The study, and others, claim AirBnB pushes out poor black people from neighborhoods because white owners decrease housing stock by renting out to AirBnb instead of locals.

E.g. "Wachsmuth and his team estimate that the platform raised rents by 1.42 percent in north-central Brooklyn neighborhoods such as Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights." In other words, rents are going up in black neighborhoods. Another quote: "According to the Cox report, black New Yorkers are also the most likely to face housing loss due to Airbnb."

As I said, it's easy to blame AirBnB for this problem and not look at how crazy rent laws distort the market. I don't want to see low-income renters forced out of their homes but AirBnB is only one factor.

Rent control/stabilization laws also remove units from the market, and building new units for anything other than rich people is prohibitively expensive because of red tape, bureaucracy and overpriced cost of NYC-area construction.

So yes, I've read the article. The question is: have you?

I can quantifiably say that she's making me a better person firstly through giving me a platform for having confidence, secondly by acting as a confidante, and thirdly by giving me feedback about everything I do. It helps that we have common values, goals, and faith.

Paraphrasing from Henry Rollins: The iron doesn't lie. 200lbs will always be 200lbs, and that's a nice constant to rely on.

Taking it even further, exercising for me is all about making my everyday life easier. Being stronger than average means I have a much easier time opening jars, taking down kitchen machines from the top of the cupboard, moving around furniture and countless other things that people do all the time.

I started out not even being able to do a single pushup, and I felt like a fat slob (because that's what I was). Now I'm stronger and fitter and everything physical is just so much easier. I'm still not at my goal of getting rid of my beer gut, but so much better than where I used to be. I can run up stairs now, I couldn't even imagine trying to lug myself up the stairs at work if I weighed 200kg.
I also had an app that made it to HN front page last year: https://www.pagedash.com (web scrapbooking, aka personal web archive)

Interesting.. this is how I do subtraction in my head. Didn't realize it wasn't the "standard" approach :).
There's a whole genre of articles based on conflating two senses of "your," belonging to you, and about you. If I observe that you have blue eyes, that's a fact about you, but it doesn't belong to you, at least not without redefining what "belong" means.

It would be helpful if, instead of deliberately conflating these two senses of "your," articles on this subject went in the other direction and explicitly discussed the distinction.

We have from time to time redefined what "belong" means, but these redefinitions tend to be very complicated and have all sorts of unforeseen consequences. My guess is that a redefinition on the scale of facts about you = your property would be a disaster.

Yes, using RDF+SPARQL I would use it any day of the week. The power off RDF comes when having to deal with other peoples data, or providing your data to other people. This is not a usecase everyone has but if you do nothing beats RDF+SPARQL in a financial sense.

The variety of DBs available if you use RDF is great as well. Different DBs have different strong sides but we can keep the same data model and query language.

Global variable Buffer Overflow to leak memory – 34C3 CTF readme_revenge (pwn)
The only way I'm aware of today is to learn to use assistive technologies and use them on the right combinations of browser/OS/version. These are recommendations for common combinations. [0]

I've given the CI deal a good amount of thought. You'd have to go through the trouble of:

- Provisioning a Windows VM with specific versions of browsers (e.g. IE11) and AT (e.g. JAWS 17, the versions differ quite significantly)

- Writing an automation suite that is capable of controlling the browser and AT (Selenium probably does fine), but crucially interpreting the feedback from the assistive tool to check for correctness. This is tremendously hard. Either using some debugging APIs if any exist in the various assistive tools, or reading memory / reverse engineering using IDA, or capturing the audio output to the sound card and running it through speech recognition to figure out if what was said by the screen reader is what you'd expect. With something like Dragon Dictate you'd have to figure out how to trigger voice commands.

- Expose the VM using an API that you can call from your test suite

- `expect(jawsOutput).toBe("Type in two or more characters for results.")`

That's a potentially tremendously profitable SaaS offering (to the right companies), if someone can build it.
