My iPad started heating up as well when viewing the page, so it seems to use excessive resources
There used to be plenty of room for innovation. General Magic made a PDA to compete with the Apple Newton Messagepad (the first "Personal Digital Assistant"). The Newton had a lovely pen-based user interface, and with the second revision, a handwriting recognition engine that worked perfectly. But sadly the early version failed to meet expectations (google "Beat Up Martin!") and Steve Jobs killed the project when he came back to Apple.

So both the General Magic and the Newton Messagepad sadly lost out to the inferior-in-nearly-aspect Palm. (curiously, Palm got its start writing an alternative alphabet interpreter for the Newton. So if not for Newton, Palm would have never been born, and would not have defeated Apple.)
I can hear fake Sean Connery:

“I’ll take ‘L.A., You tit’ for $1000”
it messed with my existing iTunes library and the damage could only be undone with restoring an old backup that was done by copying my drive

This is classic Apple, going back to the original iPod days. It's one thing to promote "convention over configuration", but Apple's destructive "my way or the highway" approach to user interface design has never made sense to me. At least with their proprietary connectors, they're usually pushing some kind of improvement over the status quo.
I'm not English, but fried mushrooms are in >50% of the photos I've seen of a "full English breakfast." Also very common in omelettes as mentioned above, or quiche.
Fingerprinting fraudulent behavior
I think the overriding point is that a simple majority is completely the wrong format for descisions like this. I’d have suggested a two thirds majority requires for change. There is also the argument about them stifling debate.

There is an intersting criticism of the format in the below link from Chris Patten

“I think referendums are awful. The late and great Julian Critchley used to say that, not very surprisingly, they were the favourite form of plebiscitary democracy of Mussolini and Hitler. They undermine Westminster. What they ensure, as we saw in the last election, is that if you have a referendum on an issue, politicians during an election campaign say: "Oh, we're not going to talk about that, we don't need to talk about that, that's all for the referendum." So during the last election campaign, the euro was hardly debated. I think referendums are fundamentally anti-democratic in our system, and I wouldn't have anything to do with them. On the whole, governments only concede them when governments are weak.”

I'll pick it up (based on your and others' comments here as well as reviews I've been able to find). It seems like it might be the sort of material I'm looking for.
Ehh, Apple Music with the match paid addon stores all of my music and syncs it across my devices, including many pieces unavailable from the platform itself. Aside from that, all these platforms offer more or less the same commodity music service. Why use spotify?
It's not even true. The "biggest" companies still use the same software (SAP, DB/2, ...) that other companies use for finance, legal, logistics, ...

Example article: http://www.erpsoftwareblog.com/2012/11/why-does-microsoft-hq...

(not sure if still accurate in 2017, but I think it is)
I guess I was under the impression that compensating controls don't really let you question the efficacy of the point of the original requirement, but instead "we're meeting the requirement in this other way"?
From the paper:

1. "It follows that we cannot prove our Free Will assumption – determinism, like solipsism, is logically possible."

So not a proof of free will.

2. "Although we find ourselves unable to give an operational definition of either “free” or “random,” we have managed to distinguish between them in our context, because free behavior can be twinned, while random behavior cannot (a remark that might also interest some philosphers of free will)."

I stand corrected. This IS a meaningful distinction from pure randomness, after all, as entangled particles don't behave randomly with respect to each other. Though I still disagree with the name "free will", as that makes it sound as if there's a conscious will behind it, which the authors make it clear that they don't claim.
Very inaccurate, 95% of the requests would have cached those js files firstly, and secondly that is so mislead-ed its not even funny. they took the average cost of a DC and equipment in and and then added all Known dcs together to get to a magical number and say the only purpose of those DC's are to serve the internet. That paper is so inaccurate. The power cost of delivering 3 MB extra is minuscule on 99% of the networks. Only a hand full of people who use satellite only connectivity would suffer from 3 MB of extra data.
If someone lifts my pin and does transactions, my bank will reverse it or cover the damage, no questions asked.

I'm aware how credit works, but I prefer not to rely on credits for my life, I prefer spending only money I have right now.
I actually just might do that! Wanted to point out to other people who may have been thinking of taking this idea and undercutting on price that the infra most likely doesn't cost anywhere near as much. Given that "infrastructure costs" were cited as a reason for this specific price point, I don't think my comment was unreasonable.

Also, I am genuinely curious to know more about the OP's costs, which is why I asked them for more info.

The free version of Google Play Music does that, too.
Here is my attempt to create (compose?) Fibonacci(25):

Tommy was a kindle
Jane was gasoline
Put Tommy over Jane into the fire

Put the fire into the daydream
Knock the daydream down

away takes time
If time is nothing
Give back time

The nightmare was over
Build the nightmare up
If time is the nightmare
Give back time

Put time without the nightmare into my world
Put time without the fire into yours
Put away taking my world into the daylight
Put away taking yours into the night
Give back the daylight with the night

Put the daydream into my love
ever is so rock

Until my love is stronger than ever
Put away taking my love into the night
Whisper the night
Build my love up
The board game Monopoly was originally based on the Landlord's Game by Elizabeth Magie, which was intended to show how property ownership ruins free market capitalism. Land can't be created or moved, so is not a free market (according to Adam Smith). People are forced to pay extortionate rents and have no way to escape.

Not widely known at the time or now, so perhaps not a very successful example.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_(game)#Early_history
Yes, the UK voted strongly in favour of Common Market membership in 1975. While the process around the EC becoming the EU has changed the nature of it substantially, I think it would be misleading to say that there was no referendum.

The UK fwiw has only had three referendums in its history. Precisely because they have a habit of leading to the current fucking stupid situation we now find ourselves in.
This is a uniquely American problem. In Canada or Europe you just tap your phone at the terminal that is handed to you. Our use your card's chip and pin.
You forget the effects of the "full reinvestment" policy. Amazon barely paid any tax at all. Not on sales, not on storage space, not on profits, not on ...

(note: Jeff Bezos DID get enough money out of it to become the richest man on earth, but not through profit. Rather he got "capital gains on his shares", which is the same thing in practice, but a very different thing for the IRS. Oh, and since it's "paper profits only" (mostly) he hasn't paid tax on it either)

People think the internet businesses got successful because it's "just a better way to do business", but it gets a ~20% government subsidy. 30% if hailing from China (for instance, free shipping really is free from China, or I should say, paid by the US taxpayer mostly)

The reality is Amazon, and to a lesser extent Google, Apple Yahoo, Microsoft and Facebook are government-sponsored companies that have been given extreme preferential treatment for close to two decades now.

Without that 20% advantage, there is no way Amazon could compete with Walmart. Without that, the business model is absurd, even now.

Microsoft, selling software "locally" (ie. tax free in the Bahamas) but internationally, and even more so, Yahoo, Facebook, Google, ... selling services "locally" (in Delaware, Ireland and the Bahamas) is a homongous tax loophole.

(note: they don't sell to "you". They sell to, say, Microsoft Ireland for $final_price - 5%, then the "only profit" is that 5%, and that's all they pay tax on. For FB/Yahoo/Google/... it's even worse)

As an analysis of the cost structures of these companies will tell you : if these loopholes were all closed, the internet "revolution" would end. All these companies would rapidly shrink to 10% of their current size. This seems absurd to many, but rewriting the financial statements of these companies taking normal tax structures into account will tell you this.
Are CC numbers always unique? Or can there be multiple people with the same number but different expiry codes (or others).

I always wondered if we'd run out of cc numbers. 10^16 is a big number, but take out the checksums and unused blocks I'd guess we're down to only a few thousand per person.
None of these scenarios require them to allow overdrafts. Even operating by passing physical checks around does not make allowing overdrafts necessary.

Refusing to honor checks drawn against accounts with insufficient funds has been around for ages, even when everything actually was managed by passing around physical checks.
That's presumably why they don't do it, but you're being hyperbolic. An 8th grader is remotely familiar with high school physics. The janitor of the high school physics classroom is remotely familiar with high school physics. Yet they probably could both stand to be reminded a time or two what a light-year is.
I agree and disagree :) Sometimes smaller companies don't have time for career growth because of work overload and lack of budget. Having a manager in this kind of setup does not bring anything special to IC's besides an extra layer of dispatch from the top.

Though you are totally right. In order to become a manager in a larger corporate, you have to push a lot of people to the side in order to make your way up. Meaning you're not necessarily the most friendly person to hang around.
One thing I wonder is if a downturn, or even just increased caution in anticipation of one, will put the brakes on the trend among startups that I characterize as "cloud at all costs".

Perhaps if the VC spigots shut off or even severely reduce their flow for the foreseeable future, that growing AWS bill will take on a new significance.

I'm certainly biased, in that I hope for this to happen, as I've considered one of my differentiating features (a.k.a. value prop) from other Ops (or "Devops" nowadays) professionals to be frugality with infrastructure, by using hardware in a datacenter.

On the other hand, in a downturn, hiring might dry up in general, despite the article's advice to scoop up talent while it's a bargain.
Its immoral when its targeted secretly in this way. If lies are posted publicly on a billboard (or a bus) then everybody can see it, somebody can point out that it is a lie, and the posters can be held responsible for their misinformation
Most meritorious? While not a medical case, the McDonald’s coffee verdict certainly wasn’t meritorious. Person burned when they spilled hot coffee, awarded millions because coffee was hot.
Nice attempt at memeing a response, but that comment doesn't work. Most SPAs that I've seen allow bookmarking, back and forward, right clicking to open a new tab... and they certainly don't introduce major security holes to attack your local machine (they're just websites, not a poorly coded third-party plugin like Flash), and they do not typically have superfluous sound or long loading times. In fact, browsers are blocking superfluous sound more and more, which wouldn't be possible to affect with flash since the browsers didn't control flash.

So... nice one there, green user. You really got'em!
What is a “fair democratic vote”? Is it still fair if it’s a simple majority? Is it still fair if official campaigns break the law? Is it still fair if constituent nations’ views are disregarded?

That concept is a hard one to define and precisely why it’s a bad idea to have simple majority referendums on complex technical matters.
Herpes viruses are implicated in so many illnesses, cancer, auto immune diseases, now Alzheimers, we need a lot more effort going into producing HHV6/7 and EBV vaccines. (Probably HSV1/2 also but I don't know enough about those two.)
That's quite the whataboutism. What rules did Obama's statement break?
I guess Spotify (or Deezer) is the better option since they aren't trying to lock you in their ecosystem and they're available on every platforms, including Linux.

Also, I think they nailed the UI, Spotify Connect is great (also works with chromecast audio!) and Discover weekly is amazing.
Hopefully increasing the response time to > 2s (whether it's settable in the API or just has a longer timeout) is on the roadmap, I can think of lots of future use cases where you would want a human in the loop on authorizations.

Looks like a great product and props to you and your team for shipping this.
On second, thought, though, after looking at the paper at finmin's suggestion, I agree that their definition is distinct from randomness in a meaningful and interesting way.
Netflix needs to become HBO, i.e. a content creator. And it's clear as day they are trying to be that. It's smart and they need to do that to survive, to the point where they are willing to debt-finance this. If they don't do that, publishers will extract every little bit of profitability from them.
Well, it was a non binding resolution.

It is the politicians who made the REAL decision to trigger brexit.

There is nothing to reverse. You can't cancel a non binding resolution.

Complain to the politicians who made the decision if you don't like what they did. And the politicians were very much voted in democratically.

People can vote them out if they don't like their decisions.
Ask HN: Ubiquiti vs. Mikrotik vs. PC Engines for Home Network?
I am looking to upgrade/refactor the networking in my home, primarily the wifi setup. Currently I have a Netgear R6400 that just doesn't seem to be cutting it (even with dd-wrt or the other options installed). I'm in a ~3200 sqft home, no brick or anything, just wood and drywall. The "demarc" location for our cable modem is in the basement which is also where the patch panel is. I have cat5 ran to most of the rooms, although the jack in each room is sometimes in a not-so-helpful location.

I have seen a lot of people complimenting the three brands in the title but they all seem to have their own issues...

The Ubiquiti stuff looks really cool, I'm just not sure how interested I am in essentially being locked into their offerings once I start. They are also the priciest it appears.

With the Mikrotik and PC Engines stuff it seems like you typically get the router part, but still need to provide the wifi APs which doesn't get me very far and potentially has me back to using Ubiquiti APs.

Having a router with something like pfSense running on it is awesome, but not really a requirement. I also don't want to have to tinker with the setup every week. I'm looking for something that is solid and stable, without vendor lock-in and price does matter (no enterprise type stuff).

Any ideas or suggestions from the HN folks?
I'm interested to see this on the front page given the number of people trashing Mongo lately.

Currently when deciding on a backing store for my python based applications I usually jump straight to PostgreSQL what are the things that Mongo excels at these days that are missing from pg?
By the time Austin is SF2.0 local government in Austin will be made up of all the same clowns that make up local government in SF. CA was like Texas once upon a time.
Been waiting for something like this for a while. Much nicer if you can keep a ledger of these auth'd cards and revoke if need be.
They do know that UK could have vetoed the entrance of Turkey, Macedonia, etc in EU...
Remain campaigners were found to have violated laws as well, and they were fined.

Not the same. There are many wall street giants so competition is there vs there are basically no competition for tech giants
Hm... Care to point out the bias? They write about some of the most blatant examples of manipulative lying ads that only carefully picked groups of people got to see before the referendum. What else should they have reported on the topic of the contents of the released data? They didn't even pick some of most tasteless/fearmongering/lying ads that were run.
That's totally fair, but the parent mentioned infrastructure costs in response to their posted price. So I don't think bringing up the cost of infrastructure is a non-sequitor. OP could have said, "I think that's a fair price when you factor in the costs of operation, my time, and ongoing maintenance," but they didn't which is why I asked a more pointed question.
> This source seems anti-natural from birth to breastfeeding.

Well yes, because the author is a doctor. The maternal death rate from "natural" child birth is 1,000-1,500 per 100,000 births. In the U.S., it is just 26.4.

> Sure, there are many times when C-section is appropriate and has saved lives, but it's currently being over prescribed because of hospital guidelines that doctor's need to follow or risk malpractice liability.

The data in fact shows no evidence that it is being "over-prescribed." If it were, you would expect to see worse maternal outcomes in countries with higher rates of C sections, and you do not.
The Newton also failed because it had a much shorter battery life than the Palm devices and was a great deal larger. And was a lot more expensive.

Palm devices shipped out of the box with a docking station and ability to sync calendar/data with almost any Windows 98 or NT4/2000 PC.
(1) In cases where you want good browser support.

(2) This is going to sound stupid...but if you don't have a grid. Flexbox is a more flexible tool in this more flexible case.
That would eliminate a competitive advantage that large companies receive against their tiny bretheren.
I'm basically not interested in reading things like this unless they can put solid facts up-front that are actually relevant to what most people care about (weight-loss/gain) and they actually normalize for calorie intake.

Fact is for the vast majority of people that don't have some rare disease, CICO works.
Pitching to multiple audiences
Is this with uploaded music? If so, it could be an issue with regular music syncing deleting or having them become unavailable. That feature is super finicky and iffy and I only ever do manual syncs to mostly avoid it.

Another fun classical music bug is when you try to share those songs in Discord and they break the stream, probably because the titles are too long.
Nothing. It's a matter of scale.

Start everything with PG.
Currently on my fourth weekday of freedom from the daily grind! I just wanted some quality time to pursue my own projects and goals, and I have more than enough runway to spend a few months figuring out what's next. I actually think I'd like to get into working part-time/consulting to pay the bills and spending the rest of my time bootstrapping other projects. Would love to hear if anyone has any experience or thoughts about doing this!
>where the corporations have more people with stronger incentives working to get around the tax laws than the government has trying to write new ones.

If the penalties were harsh enough, wouldn't it change this dynamic?
Doesn’t Hollywood pull stuff like this to cheat collaborators out of their percentage?

Certain cult classic movies that look like flops on paper. I always wonder if the money went down a subsidiary black hole to keep insiders happy.
>Actionscript 3 was a fine language

It was heavily based off ES5, which really helped launch my Javascript abilities forward at the time. I was sad to see it go and ended up working with other technology that never felt as fun.

I remembered recently that Haxe was initially based off of MTASC (something I used in the later AS3 days), and checked it out. It's quite a stable ecosystem that feels very familiar in syntax. Add in HaxeFlixel, and it's almost like Flash never left.
It is not and should not be illegal for anybody to make their views on political issues known.

It’s much more questionable when we start to look at organised funding and lobbying. We have those rules specifically to prevent elections being bought with cash.
Blogspam.
China's long game to dominate nuclear power relies on the UK
On the landing page, you can see that it’s debit.
I stand corrected.

But still, "massively overspending" and "failing to report correct levels of spending correctly" are quite different rule breaches. It's not difficult to see why Leave ads are being examined and Remain ones aren't.
If people require 100% accuracy out of the gate from any software then we might as well give up now. It's not as if doctors get it right all the time, if you know anyone with medical issues they've likely heard different opinions from different doctors themselves. Anything more complicated then a broken bone seems to get mixed responses about what should be done, or even what the cause of the complication is in the first place.
The search tab allows you choose any song you want on iOS- what platform doesn’t let you play a particular song?

Agree on the explicit filter though. Seems like such an auto-include for things like parents or storefront playlists
The button went away by default ages ago though. Sure, you can manually add it to your menu bar, but who does that and doesn’t know about RSS already.
I am sorry but you are just completely wrong. Exactly the opposite of what you said is true:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5701901/

“In summary, there exists considerable evidence that medical malpractice reform measures reduce medical malpractice awards and also the losses incurred by medical malpractice insurance companies.”
This isn't the only shenanigans surrounding the leave campaign. Here's another example of dodgy Leave Campaign funding - https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-44624299 - where the DUP, a Northern Irish party, was given $600,000 to campaign for Leave by a shell company and spent most of it on advertisements in media that wasn't even available in Northern Ireland.

But it's not surprising really. There has been a persistent anti-EU propaganda campaign running in the UK for years if not decades. I really like this site - https://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/euromyths-a-z-index/ - as it contains links to the original "fake news" stories along with references which refute them.
Seems like a wonderful idea, but unfortunately the UK now has both major political parties firmly and irrevocably commited to enforcing the referendum result (whatever that is).
