So, if we looked at all of the "oldest yet found" discoveries (that held up to later scrutiny), and plotted their date vs. the date they were found, would we see it asymptotically approaching some (presumably actual true) value? A job for an enterprising data scientist/archaeologist out there.
Maybe this one?

> Wow, a left-of-center party more worried about change from within than they are about losing the election to the right.

Being honorless to their ideals is actually something Social Democrats have a proven history - the German ones for example allowed the war bonds prior to WW1, prior to WW2 the SD leadership lacked the guts to oppose Hitler ("Preußenschlag", and a total underestimation of Hitler in the last months until the Machtergreifung), and modern Social Democrats went full scale neoliberal (most famously they gutted social security with the Hartz IV reforms). As a result, the neo-nazis of the AfD are the second most powerful party in both federal and bavarian polls, sharing the position with the Social Democrats...

One of the french IT news website I read detects adblockers and replace the space of the ad with a message saying, basically, « This space was supposed to be an ad. We respect the fact you block it, consider making a donation » (or something like that, it’s not showing on my phone right now so I guess it’s for the desktop version)

I find this very smart. Not intrusive and a bit incentive.
I’m certainly willing to pay for $10 more memory in exchange for not getting owned.
Ask HN: What exactly *is* the definition of “toxic”?
I see the word "toxic" being used more and more in a social context, but does it have a real objective meaning, or does it simply describe things someone subjectively doesn't like?

A directory is just a special type of file that contains a list of file names and their corresponding inodes, how is a directory NOT a file?

Reminds me of that old joke: Two economists are leaving a lecture. One says, "Hey, there's a $100 bill on the floor!" The other replies without looking down, "Can't be. If there were, someone would have picked it up."

The market can be inefficient. It's a construct of society and society can set some nonsensical rules. Heck, the market can be inefficient even under simple rules. It's easy to construct dynamical systems with different phases, some with equilibria and some without. Most economic analysis -- that whole supply/demand thing -- assumes an equilibrium to make the math easier.
So mmap() the file?
At some point, there was also this undocumented feature where it fetches not just the directions, but a little extra data so it can reroute you on the device if you miss a turn and your phone has gone offline. It only works for small detours, does not take traffic into account, etc.

If he'd offered logistic support and stopped there, he'd have earned more kudos than gaming, and then complaining. I'm betting that palletized field -deployable tesla batteries would have a role if they had thought about it.

I believe a few australian old-time geeks who have ham licences double as emergency radio contact people, offer logistics and intermediary services for fitter, younger people. Works well. I'd have looked to what my company had in that skillset.

Google focuses very strongly on time, so I’m unsurprised that they are willing to trade space for time.

Of course it’s possible Chrome is also outright wasting space, time, or both, but I have no idea if it is to a nontrivial extent.
> I don't even know any modern unix, where directory is a file.

On Linux? You `open()` a directory, and `getdents()` takes that file descriptor as input.

I would take issue issue with the word "clearly", as there is controversy, at least according to Wikipedia (which you referenced). Perhaps "arguably" is a better word.

Bitcoin is not anonymous! Using clues from outside the internet, which the Mueller team clearly had, it’s quite possible to follow the money on the blockchain and root out individuals behind the transactions

This is the golden moment. If this really is true, then in shifting funds from one wallet to another, they've outed a huge circuit of people. I don't think this is entirely like "all money in circulation has cocaine on it" -the linkages feel to me like ones which would identify key players really quickly.

Also, if somebody leaks even one of the hashes, we can all check/validate the chain surely?
The whole point of Linus's rant is that the actual Unix mantra is that everything is a file descriptor.
I found multiple stories/blogs with recollections like this one from Smithsonian including the use of calculators on early missions before laptops were used:

A number of years back I bought a couch from my brother. I promptly took off on a trip on which I managed to badly break my foot so he ended up dumping the thing at my house and it sat in my garage for months.

Once I was mobile again, I realized it was a tight fit and the sofa wasn't actually symmetrical. Fortunately, it was asymmetrical in the right way for the room but I had a momentary panic.

>we have a business (the couch doctor)

I also have to say that I just love how businesses get created to deal with especially largely localized problems and do a really good job at it. Even at a national level, I met with a specialist company yesterday to do something in my house and it was very refreshing.
Another path:

Be a sole-founder. Learn whatever "business" skills on demand. If you can learn programing, what else you can't learn?

It's more possible than ever for a sole technical person to build meaningful business from ground up.

Think in a different way: what if a "business" person can't find a technical cofounder? Can the business person pick up programming skills as fast as a technical person picks up "business" skills?

What kind of "business" skills do you need? Talking? Writing English? Marketing? Sales? It's 2018. There are tons of resources online that you can use to learn these things.

Go to www.indiehackers.com to learn some inspiring stories. Be confident.
Linus is running one of the largest open source projects, he has probably communicated millions of times, everything is out in the open, but its only the handful of times he loses his cool that it gets posted here without context, without all his previous attempts to fix the issue, with people being difficult or obtuse, without context.

This kind of out of context discussion that gives rise to comments like yours seems far worse than anything he has said.

How many CEOs have managed companies out in the open for 15 years plus without ever losing their cool? There is no way to know as there is no transparency.

But maybe I'd like to execute some other programs in addition to Chrome as well. So this might result in unneeded memory pressure in other programs.
It strikes me as obvious that what Google should do is support OSM upstream and use OSM data in their product, just as what they do with Wikipedia.
Whenever I say this kind of stuff on HN lately — supporting open source over proprietary solutions — I get downvoted.

Facebook and others will always be in charge unless open source software gets good enough to form decentralized networks compete with it. It has to be user friendly and developer friendly enough to gain massive adoption.

Here is Qbix Platform. It took 6 years to develop, is open source and free.

And then we go back to processes, System V-like IPC (shmget()/semget()/msgget()), and network configuration subsystem (routing, firewall, bringing interfaces up or down, and the like; netlink is only a recent development, after 2000).

What was it about the mantra again?
Which bigger audience? Hard to dig up exact numbers, but at least in terms of revenue it was 28% vs 29% of the gaming market in 2017, see https://www.pcgamesn.com/pc-game-sales-numbers-market-share-.... PC gaming is huge, and statements projecting a move to consoles of genres or the market have been around for several decades now, and they never came true.
The size of the project is a red herring in your comment. People document command line options, ENV settings, etc., in huge projects all the time. It has absolutely no bearing on whether comments belong inside of config files.
The Problem with Software. Why Smart Engineers Write Bad Code
We need all that. Still, it can be frightening.

I have "launch fear": I delay by another week every week, because I found one or more bugs the day before, which to me is unacceptable. Also it would crush my ego if people said I hadn't noticed or bothered to fix it, because it would mean I don't care about my users.

When I am launching, I want users to have the best experience possible. MVP is minimal, not bug ridden. When I find a bug, it hurts, and it is almost depressing - as in, leading to paralysis.
Just keep something my brain can't store because it's not useful everyday.

The 5 Essential Qualities of a Successful Entrepreneur – Takis Athanassiou
what the OP meant by “consumer market” is home users I think.

The intersting dynamic is that people tend to spend more time mastering their phones (for instance installing printing apps, dropbox etc.) and don’t want to maintain another completely different device they’ll only use occasionaly.

This means people with old PCs won’t care much if it’s slow and clunky, as they won’t use it much. People without a PC yet might bail out completely and use their work computer when they have stuff that can only be done on PC.

(note: total PC shipments are 61 million, business users included, while iPad sales for 2017 quarters were a about 11 million. People turning to the iPad for “big screen” tasks is a big enough trend I think)

If it was a rational choice it wouldn't have been rammed through the way it was. The way it was handled gives an almost undeniable air of utterly filthy bought and paid for fix is in. The Chicago Reader has a nice timeline of a bunch of the privatization that was going on at the time:
https://m.chicagoreader.com/chicago/features-cover-april-9-2...

Bids are opened 12/1. Aldermen get invited on 12/2 to a briefing that day, where they get limited information and no details. 12/3 a finance committee meeting is held to get an ordinance to accept the bid into process - what they'll be voting on is provided only during this meeting. The finance committee passes it with no significant scrutiny. The full council vote is scheduled for 12/4, and requests to see the city's numbers and financial analysis of the deal are rejected.

When you look back at the deal, to me and an awful lot of other people it looks like one of two things: either most of the people involved on the city side were utterly incompetent, or someone(s) were nicely taken care of in some way.

Edit; autocorrect
Or if your mobile connection has strict data caps...
Get side projects together. Look at internships in addition to entry level jobs. You want experience. You may learn a ton from school, but school doesn't always look like valuable experience in the eyes of a recruiter.

Keep it up, just broaden your search and keep getting more projects under your belt and adding them to your resume.
There are meetups designed for this (finding cofounders), and in my experience, they skew heavily toward non-technical people who are looking for technical cofounder. I'm in the Palo Alto area, so it's possible YMMV.
Regarding your last point, these actually all sound like symptoms of hypomania.

More than anything I think it's a more tangible argument for how microtargeting can go south. Most people are ok with the concept of advertising in general, and microtargeting feels like a small step from normal ads. "Yeah I get it, people want to sell me shit, what's the big deal?" This is the big deal.

Advertising's purpose is to infect your mind and trick it into thinking what the ad-buyer wants. In the past it wasn't as big of a deal, advertisers are less likely to use direct lies or manipulations if the audience is big: they can get backlash, some tricks have the opposite effect on some people, etc. Now that they can target individuals every trick in the book is fair game.

Now, if you talk to someone about these problems, they'll usually say something like "oh well it might affect other people, but ads don't affect me." Or "why would they care that much about me?" Guess what, if a politician can be be targeted and manipulated, a disgruntled coworker can target you, your ex can target you.
They intend to integrate structured ASIC with EMIB in their server products. There is probably a path to hardened compute services with very rapid turn-around. I bet they can automatically determine which IP to harden based on the usage of their FPGAs.

> The latest change (June 2018) has much more impact : Google decided to reduce the limit of free requests (25000 map display per day to 28000 per month - that's around 1000 map display per day, so 25 times less)

IMO the biggest takeaway from this article. I've hacked up plenty of projects on using Google Maps, but would definitely think again with this much lower free limit. Though, on the bright side, it seems that Google has finally made Maps pricing transparent:

Maybe Meltdown and Spectre would be a good point to stop and think if an architecture where you run arbitrary turing-complete untrusted code from multiple sources side-by-side and try to mitigate this by locking down the system is really the best direction for the web to move in.
Here in the US, some city developers are building apartment buildings - with dozens of units - which provide NO parking for the tenants ... let alone any potential guests. To me this is equally puzzling.

Reasoning leadership is a necessary part of city ecology. Rewarding complainers (hello Pavlov) is not a reasoned solution.
I found one phone box where the instructions on how to call emergency services were only in Welsh, it was in a major tourist area too.
When it comes to health, yes, I prefer science. To me, that falls well within the same category as laws of physics, where the best method of finding truth is science.

Even picking a roofing contractor (or anything else that merely has to do with money or material possessions), I may not demand all the trappings of the scientific method, but, if possible, I want at least some of them, like data, and borrowing methodologies and reasoning. Relying on the advice/authority of a single other person is unappealing, unless I believe that other person actually did the research I would have done.

Sometimes, though, it's not possible. If a tree fell through the roof, it may not matter who the "best" one is, only the good-enough one available now.
Possibly true but doesn't affect the outcome. If you can do some things to increase the likelihood of success with low cost, the fact that success is dominated by things you can't change doesn't matter. There are no guarantees, only actions that mildly bias one outcome over another.
This technology will look very different once it is fully developed: on the latest process, using a much more ideal memory technology, enabling affordable single unit prototyping at the leading edge.

I have a hard time with psychology as a science, it was showed many studies were not reproducible. I like psychology, but studying success and finding that discipline=success really seems like using some layman vocabulary to tell people the source of why they're unsuccessful in life, which reminds me of motivational speaking, which I despise with passion. Diagnosing people with lack of discipline is more a questions of morals, ideology of life and philosophy than science. It's not something you can do or do with results, and often it will just be about motivational speaking, which is often scamming.

Conscientious people also often are conformists, which to me is not a good thing.

"Big Five personality traits" and the HEXACO models seems like pseudo science to me, because I don't think you can precisely define those things with a study of behavior, and come with relevant and applicable notions of those metrics.

We are in an age of the study of AI, and psychology sounds like it's the alchemy of the study of the brain. It might work in some places, but I don't think we can rely on it. Worse, I hardly think you can use psychology in a thoughtful process of helping people without sounding like a madman.
