Until reading the article I hadn't really considered it, but now I think it's inevitable. There are competitors, apparently, already out there in space with the same intention.

It goes on to list a number of laudable things that could be done with this technology - watching whale migrations, catching illegal fishers, better weather forecasting - but that all feels like so much hokey PR. I suspect it will most likely be used for war and controlling people.
Right and that could happen. It being unlikely doesn't make the other court suddenly supreme.

The German press release linked in the article even stated that Springer is considering to appeal to the actual Supreme court.
Not sure why they downvoted this. This is an accurate comment.

I like the idea of building a reputation system that accepts bots as first class citizens instead of imagining them as an inherent problem. Anyone who meaningfully contributes is good even if they are a bot, and anyone who doesn’t gets left behind. (Easier said than done but the approach to the problem is what’s fundamentally different.)

Not true. Many years ago Atari patented a little cartridge flap just so no one else could make a cartridge that could be inserted into their platform. There are many other examples.

Ask HN: Has anyone used Paddle.com for payments on your website?
Stripe is better but I can't open an account because my country isn't supported. I'm looking into Paddle.com for processing payments on my website.

Has anyone used Paddle? Your feedback?

Can it be used in the exactly way Stripe can be? That is, by inserting a javasript code on a html page which will allow me to click on a button, insert my bank card details in a popup and make a payment?
Flickr Takes Another Sad Turn, Gets Bought by Something Called SmugMug
You can do those things.

For sub-accounts, Capital One 360 is the easiest in terms of creating and removing accounts for specific purposes.

Most credit unions have this ability as well. I have accounts in two, and they use the same software platform that makes it easy to partition money in the way you describe. The only difference is that opening and closing sub accounts has only recently been available from the web interface.

Basically, there is no good reason to ever use a commercial bank, unless you have millions of dollars sitting around or handle a lot of cash and the convenience of a BoA or Wells Fargo has value to you for that purpose. Commercial banks will always be more expensive and less responsive.

State level welfare is not UBI.

For almost every state youll get 200 dollars in EBT/person. These are nontranferable, you must only buy unprepared food, etc. Yes, even now people abuse this. You cannot make a perfect lock.

If you have a kid you also get a bit of cash aid (less than 200 dollars.)

Try living on 400 bucks for the next month or 12 and see how depressed it will make you.
In that case there should still be some similarity among the numbers (area code, exchange, etc), and it wouldn't be difficult to tell the outgoing provider that you're going to be using a particular block of numbers. At a minimum, the outgoing calls shouldn't have numbers from different area codes every day.
Yeah but using a press release as a source doesn’t mean the article is basically pr. You can get info from a press release and write a completely negative article about the topic for example.
Was part of his response that he doesn't need the money of someone who makes racial jokes? Good riddance? That's a pretty strong statement to make over Twitter, esp. since if you read through the whole thing, that's someone trying to forcefully make a suggestion about racial insensitivity, which is at best journalistic twisting.

What irks me about such responses is that it's not your prerogative to retract anything you say about anyone over the internet. It might not even be your prerogative to correct any of your statements.
There's a difference between journalists first learning about things through a press release, and the journalism actually just being PR, i.e. parroting PR rather than challenging or extrapolating upon it.
There are good dedicated groups with good curation. It takes a bit of lurking to find them. There are really good groups dedicated to specific genders of photography like Film only, or Documentary or Street Photography.

The good ones kept those gaudy things at arm's length. Some of these groups have a bit if an attitude at first, but as they get to know you and your dedication, they will warm up to you.
Not the OP, but yes I do, and I'd argue that is one of the parameters that most people learn about when they get a mortgage.

The trouble is, with an online service or a phone, we don't even know what the parameters are.

What about the people currently having a mortgage with the bank? You wouldn't want to hurt them.

I recommend packing most of your food. Sandwiches, granola, nuts, fruit, raw veggies.

Not exciting food, but better than microwave hotdogs, and even with a spartan meal plan the trip is totally worth it.

Also some routes have a stop over which gives you an hour or so to scramble for a hot meal.

Another pro tip for the thrifty, bring a blanket and sleep on the floor in the observation car.

Ear plugs help in case other people are hanging out, but usually it’s pretty quiet for at least 6 hours. You can wake up and watch the sun rise.

You can always grab a nap in your seat later, but I have trouble sleeping more than an hour in a chair, whereas even on a hard floor I can zonk out for hours.
What happens when women are outnumbered on a massive scale
Given that there is basically one standard implementation, and virtually nobody has ever had an issue with compatibility with a given file, I don't see how it is "inadequate". Sure, if it's inadequate now, it'll be inadequate if you read it in a decade, but not in any way which would prevent you from reading it.

If your storage fails, maybe you'll have a problem, but you'd have a problem anyway.

Sometimes I feel like genuine technical concerns are buried by the authors being jerks and blowing things way out of proportion. I, for one, tend to lose interest when I hear hyperbolic mudslinging.
One of those things is not like the others. BeOS did not have a microkernel.

Greetings Don. Always had a place in my heart for Flickr. Would love to see if thrive again. My gut sez there's a pretty big space between (the disposalness of) Instagram and the (heavy handiness of) 500px.

The Parallel Entrepreneur: How to start businesses while keeping your day job
You missed my very simple point. It’s not that she had assistance in her role (though I’d wager she did not create all her icons in a vacuum, instead collaborating with others on the Mac team.)

I’ll restate my point plainly; hero worship articles about anyone who’s work is actually part of a team (all the many articles about Jobs are much worse than this one, for example) help paint a false picture in our society of the lone genius. This false narrative is harmful just for being false, but also helps lead people to feel like being a lone genius is an achievable goal and what one should strive for. Which of course leads to failure.

My problem is not with Kare or someone writing about her. My problem is with this author and many others writing in this way and denying the reality that geniuses of all kinds collaborate with others and are enriched for it.

> Not only isn't it "much of a stretch", this is exactly how the idealized Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetimes in GR work.

Right. You could have at least read all the way down my comment. :-)

> So you still need to explain why we observe the "forward" versions of these solutions, but not the "reversed" ones.

I don't think so; that's just the cosmic variance problem: we're apparently in the DE-dominated era of an expanding universe rather than in some other era in the same universe or in a non-expanding universe.

If you start travelling an arbitrary great circle on Earth you'll experience significant temperature changes on most GCs; if you happen to pass through one of the polar regions and can't remember anything before that then until you are near the equator you'll be very tempted to conclude that the past is colder than the present. Conversely if you happen to cross the equator on a GC that takes you into a polar region, and you forget everything before the equator crossing, you'll be very tempted to say that everything freezes in the future. There's no time reversal at play here, just a memory horizon that is tempting to extrapolate through.

What's this mean? I think it means that RW spacetimes have an implicit choice of gauge in them that we hate to really think about because it is so convenient to foliate them.
Trains generally drop you in the middle of a central business district. If you’re driving to a major city, you’re spending $30-75 a day in parking or driving to suburban motels.

If you need to be in Manhattan for more than 2 nights, the train is free vs a car given a 2 hour radius. That’s probably not the case for Minot, but it is for many places.

Also unlike planes it’s a no bullshit environment. No security theatre, no getting there an hour early. On some routes you can buy a ticket on the train.

The fact that a photon was emitted is, itself, information. It means there's a star out there to absorb it.

Of course stars aren't the only things that would absorb photons in this manner, but they'd absorb a lot more than other objects, and you could probably do something with the spectrum as well.

Agreed. I’ve had some of my CC photos used, with attribution, by company websites and blogs. And been notified politely as to their use. I’m sure some have been used without my knowledge, but I’m ok with that.

Ask HN: Best practices for sending emails through web applications?
I know there's mailgun, sendgrid, or you could hook up external emails such as google app domain emails, or you could handle everything yourself e.g. IMAP.

I know there are pros and cons to each, and that a lot of the sendgrid-type sites try to scare you into thinking the mail will go to spam unless you use their services. Especially for cloud-hosted apps, with more complicated IP scenarios.

How much of that is truth? What do you use?

I'm sure this is a perennial question, but the landscape is also constantly shifting.

Thank you in advance!
I don't use a CoC on any of my projects, but I would have reacted similarly to your comments. My issue tracker isn't your personal place to vent unconstructive frustration. Reframing this is as simply shutting down disagreement (which happens all the time in my issue trackers quite peacefully) is just plain disingenuous.

"Responsible journalism also means complying with the law," said NPC President Paul Gutierrez in a statement released Tuesday. "To say that the fate of one media entity found to have run afoul with the law translates to media repression in the country is stretching the argument a bit too much."

what is the metric to consider a JS app as "VERY large" as the author puts it? If SLOC is used as a proxy then how code from libraries (i.e. code that the team didn't write) are considered? Recently when I generated a Ruby-on-Rails app with webpack enabled, it downloaded 8148 JS files in the node_modules folder. 675K SLOC. I thought it was absolute madness.

India's education system is based off of the old UK educational system, which involves heavy standardized testing to gain entry to university. This is not knew. My grandparents grew up in british India, and my parents were born at the very end of it. They all sat through exams, and results were published publicly. It's just the way it was and still is.

If anything, America has slowly drifted towards the old British model. India though is not copying anything.

Sometime in early 2000s, I had a meeting with Chris. It was early days for them and they were running out of their home. This was the time when Flickr was a darling of the valley (and wasn't acquired by Yahoo yet).

Chris and I were talking, sitting around a dining table with a bench and some chairs. I remember there was a lot of light and windows all around. Don (his son) was going in and out of the house taking delivery of some hardware/servers. Toni (his wife) was handling customer support from a room upstairs. And there was a dog, I think. That's it!

It was a breath of fresh air for me! In a place that has a deep-rooted infatuation with building products on raised capital, they were running their company as a small business. They were going up against giants like Snapfish, Shutterfly, Google, Yahoo and a bunch of others in a crowded space. Unlike those giants, they were charging money for their service! And they had the audacity of doing it under the name SmugMug. I recall Chris grinning about how much some people hated the name SmugMug!

This was the only time I met them. I've thought back to that meeting many times over the years. It was inspiring for me to see software/technology being used build something for a niche need... with a clear focus on running it as a small business. I found that to be uplifting then and I still do today.

Every couple of years I'd go to their site and see how they continued to grow. And each time it would bring a smile to my face. That they ended up buying Flickr is so darn sweet... I could not hoped for a better cherry-on-top to how I personally view the SmugMug story.

The Spectacle of Repression in Ravenna Woods
Specifically? I don't think there were specifics. Just the familiar general anti-JS sentiment.

I spent a few seconds looking through my feed of past Planet Gnome posts. It looks like the first announcement was here in 2013:

http://treitter.livejournal.com/14871.html

You can get a taste from the comments there. Here's some meta-commentary:

https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/17w0z5/javascri...

IIRC, it didn't really let up. I don't have a reference, but I vaguely recall something that, if not an official recantation, was akin to the general sentiment of backpeddling from the original stance, although I may be misremembering. In any case, the forthcoming concerted effort to go all-in on JS-for-Gnome didn't really happen as that post suggests it would.

A couple months after the fomentatious announcement linked above, GitHub quietly started work on Atom Shell and then a year later released Atom and Electron under MIT. What a massive lost opportunity for the Gnome folks to take advantage of the lead they'd set up for themselves instead of bowing to the vocal pressure! Had that not been the case, GTK+JS might've been the go-to framework for rapid cross-platform desktop app development in the instances where people are reaching for Electron today. (And that recurring plea for more "native" UIs would never be heard—or at the very least there'd be a straightforward path to migrate codebases to native in a piecemeal fashion if there was any motivation to do so.)
