> Consider, for example, saying, "OK, Google, show me my last messages," during a conference call, in which Google will also read the messages aloud.

Doesn't work, it doesn't recognize your voice so doesn't follow the instructions.
>How does the website portray itself in that way? Or claim in any way? I don’t think it does. Besides the name of the site?

Hacker News by any other name would be just as sweet, and that's not very sweet, but the name still matters and influences perception.

>It actually would be weird for YCombinator’s only news aggregator site to be only about hard programming “hacking”. It’s an established huge incubator of startups. So naturally the news aggregator site itself will be broader than just hard programming “hacking” as YC has matured.

Again, the name Startup News was more appropriate. Now, in my eyes, the only purpose of websites with this design, including Hacker News and Lobsters and Reddit, is self-promotion and related activities. This design of discussing almost entirely things that are happening elsewhere is only amicable to these activities, I think.

>I think you are blaming something that isn’t a problem. The problem seems to be this site isn’t what you want. And the site never pretended to be what you wanted either.

Well, when you wanted to announce something thirty years ago, you could use Usenet. I've looked for other venues, and found some, but that doesn't change that Hacker News still, somehow, amasses a decent amount technically-inclined people. I did give Lobsters a try, to less disappointment, but unfortunately that created a slippery slope that has me having an account here; Hacker News makes Lobsters look good in much the same way Reddit makes Hacker News look good. The only reason I upload any of my articles here is because that one fellow did and the utter lack of interest displeased me.

>And the whole point of news aggregators is for anyone to be able to post something. You’re again upset at the whole point of this site. There was no illusion or trickery. This is how modern Web 2.0 news aggregators work. You’re also assuming the person did it for internet points. And upset at that. Which makes it seem like you want to do it for internet points.

Again, I don't care at all about these meaningless points. The only reason I bother having any here is because the design of this website forces one to collect them, lest posts be hidden, among other things. Now, I have nice discussions and pleasant interactions about my work elsewhere, under better systems, but there's little cost to me of uploading my work to Hacker News, at this point, and so I may as well continue doing so.

Not as simple as you make it. Google for one is hurting competition and using their platform, mainly search, to do so. Different rules apply to companies with a certain market share.

Someone like me is probably more common. You're the exception.

I've chased jobs for the last 15 years, moving to numerous states, several foreign countries, and for the last 8-9 years, about half a dozen different rental in the same metro area.

I have never been involved in my community, met neighbors, or gotten involved in really anything more than a cordial greetings to people I recognize.

I'd love to buy a house, but even the smallest condo in a decent area is $300k and as a contractor, I still have to often change work locations every year or more often. My commute might increase by an hour or more, each way, if I were unable to move close the work site.

I feel this is common for a lot of people these days, especially as marriage and especially children become less common. I have no incentive to be stuck in one place, and have done well to save a lot of money by being mobile and living frugally, without the trappings of typical suburban life.

Was it from Packt? Me too :). I have been wondering if it is worth writing for Packt or find another publisher or even self-publish.

I don't think Packt is bad publisher but I have no experience in book publishing and have no idea how much publisher really matter. I have used some excellent books from Packt and some not so. Almost all authors who have written for Packt who I found online have had good experience writing for Packt however few do consider them as "second tier" along with Apress while Manning sits in 1st tier [1]. Again I have no idea what this really means.

Yeah, the article seems not much different than the way they were pushing plastic gears back in 1967 during the Space Age, when everyone was always thinking a more advanced "future" is right around the corner. Because it was happening in many ways.

Well, at the rate things were progressing until Nixon . . .

But plastics do not always mean progress, except maybe for plastic sales campaigns. By at least 1984 the timing gears on a regular Ford 302 V8 had become plastic, instead of the metal specified by the original engineering documents.

Naturally the joke is going to precede the punchline.

> Hi, I am one of the developers. You seem to be mistaken, it is not a WebKit shell (we are currently working on a web engine variant). It is actually a standalone Lisp program that defines a protocol for client browser implementations.

OK, looking through the README in the ports/ directory, I see this:

> Next is made of two programs:

> The Lisp core which offers the user full control over the browsing. It’s 100% Common Lisp.

> The “platform port”, which only purpose is to display a window with two components: the minibuffer and the web view.

> The two parts communicate via D-Bus, an RPC system. The Lisp core sends a D-Bus request to the platform port (for example, “open this URL”); the platform port acts upon it and sends a D-Bus response back to the Lisp core.

So you've put the WebKit stuff into another process, but your browser is WebKit based, unless I completely misunderstood what I just read. You couldn't use Next to drive Firefox, for example, without some interesting re-writes on the Firefox end.

(Just to make it abundantly clear: I think this is a really neat hack and a good way to separate concerns, but the way you phrased things confused me until I dug into the README you linked to and read some source code.)
I have occasionally thought that for worker cooperatives, equity that decays over time might be interesting. That is, shares are still liquid and can be held by non-workers and former workers, but they gradually expire. New shares would only be issued to current workers; one could set this rate and the decay rate to get a desired result. No idea if this has been tried or not.
A lot of languages and libraries simply don't have certifications. Maybe there's a business there.
Insufficient. Stability requirements in FARs are clear, and not handling well might mean "substantially different from prior 737s" not unstable.
Sounds like an interesting idea. How about taking it even further and say what you say above but then also provide the latest and greatest release also as a commercial version. Then companies who want the latest will pay for it and OS community gets the latest with AGPL, while companies who prefer MIT license get a version that works but is not the latest or greatest.

That would be much like paying for support, getting the latest and greatest earlier than those who don't pay for it.
For a lot of the authors of technical books, credibility is the whole point.

The goal is not to write a book that directly makes money. The goal is to write a book that gets the author hired or promoted, or to land consulting gigs, or to get VC backing.

So, yes, credibility does pay the rent.
The website Hubski (a fork of hackernews, but without the tech focus) has an interesting system where you follow people and whenever they upvote something it appears in your feed.

It’s also worth explicitly noting that Christianity-as-a-Jewish movement and Christianity-as-non-Judaism took a couple centuries to shake out. I would also guess that, and there is decent evidence for, christianity at the time would have looked much more similar to a communist movement (natural communism, think potlucks, not marxism) than the religion we know today—it appears you can thank Paul, in part, for that.

Also, if you’re looking to desugar Christianity with empathy, I recommend Kierkegaard’s excellent Fear and Trembling. Lewis’s trilemma falls uncomfortably close to Christianity-through-proof genre of literature—I realize that’s not his intent, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I’ve always found his The Weight of Glory to be more compelling.
If you correct for this effect caused by changing distance between the parties, you will still observe a difference in passage of time in the two different inertial frames of reference (each observing the other). In both cases the party taking the measurement will observe that time is passing more slowly in the frame of reference that the measurer sees as moving with respect to the measurer's frame, regardless of whether that motion is toward or away from the measurer.
> Won't we just end up worsening deforestation?

Probably the reverse. Structural timer beams used to be made out of a single length of timber, which of course could only come from a old, large tree. Now houses in Australia now use wooden I-Beams made out of this laminated wood. It's made from young trees (read: plantation timber), which are small and thinner than the I-Breams themselves, but that means the I-Breams made out of them can be any length. In fact their rise seem to be driven by the change from using old-growth timber to plantation timber.

I was surprised when I first saw it, because the manufactured timer I'm used to such as chipboard and fibreboard are really at the bottom of the barrel. They are heavy, rapidly destroyed by moisture, and weak. These glued laminates seem to be reverse of that - stronger by weight than the original wood (largely because you can shape them, eg into a I shape), and of course that makes lighter than solid beam of wood, and they are just as waterproof.

As a consequence anything much ticker than a wall stud is made out of the stuff now - large long beams of a single piece of timer seem to be a thing of the past.
We had a male cat. And I know that he was "ours" because I watched him being born. But some years later, he disappeared. So we put up posters. And discovered that several neighbors thought that he was their cat. He never did return, though. To us, anyway.

No, ISPs favor their own services. See zero rating,

All ratings systems should be like psychological questionnaires, where have to respond to statements about the content with an "agreement-based" scale.

For example, with Reddit/HN comments, you could have:

"This commenter was polite."
[strongly disagree | disagree | neutral | agree | strongly agree]

"This comment backed up its assertions with sources."
[...]

"This comment was funny."
[...]

etc. etc.
> If you make your project open source, your goal should be maximizing people using it, not maximizing how much you profit from it.

Dangerous ground telling people what their goals should be. There is no reason a person shouldn't try to maximise their profits from open source strategies. The Linux example is not a strong one - lots of the kernel devs are for-profit and Linus Torvalds made a fortune [0] - likely linked to his involvement in Linux. With benefit of hindsight it is hard to see how he could have better optimised for profit.

The key insight for commercial OSS is that maximising profit does not necessarily mean maximising your paying userbase size. 10 users paying $10,000 a month easily trumps 1000 users paying $10. And going OSS as a commercial strategy (eg, Red Hat's classic model) gives competitive advantages if you can lever it - no risk of being undercut by a cheaper software package, ability be very selective in who you offer support to and an obvious strategy for wheedling in to new markets.

In the initial rush where computers were being changed out every 5 years (pre 2003 era), having software to sell was where the advantage was. Now the industries are starting to mature and that is no longer as obvious it once was. The money seems to be in support and ongoing relationship fees, which are very amenable to OSS.

So basically, if someone's goal is to maximise profits they should consider making their software open source. Especially if they are breaking in to an incumbent's market.

being able to divvy up a desktop into 4 quarter panel windows on win10 with near zero effort absolutely changed my life, i think of how much time i've wasted clicking back and forth between two windows stacked on eachother, or having to manually move/size windows to be next to eachother... i dunno. i held out as long as i could before caving to a 10 upgrade out of necessity, and it's a shame that windows has built such a stigma like that because (once you go in and rip out all the junk) it's clear microsoft has decided to embrace alot of conventions paved by linux/unix/gnu/whatever - little things like recognizing shift+ins as a 'paste' command - and has really improved desktop management overall.

It's a QoS problem - if you only scheduled processing by magnitude of alleged offense, people would optimize their behavior against the tradeoff between scale of offense and likelihood that they get to it in the queue before the statute of limitations expired, and then you end up needing to build a more complicated tiering system if you want anything below that threshold to be a rule followed at all.

(Yes, people do this anyway at differing levels, from betting they won't get charged with jaywalking to betting prosecuting/defending companies won't show to small claims to ..., but purely ordering by alleged damages would give a much stronger guarantee of whether crimes actually got charged, and thus whether you could safely assume you'd get away with them.)

Consider also: if you have a priority system with no disincentive to falsely inflating priority, then people will optimize for whatever matters to them getting done, e.g. finding ways to inflate the priority.

A house, per se, is an asset. It may or may not have liabilities attached to it. (Or produce maintenance expenses, which is a different thing altogether.)

You seem to have confused a depreciating asset with a liability.

It handles fine, except it doesn't handle like a Classic/NG 737. This is a problem because pilots were trained to expect it to handle like a Classic/NG.

You'll need the air speed and direction.

Normally, speed is from a tube aimed into the air. Normally, direction is from a little fin that can spin.

There are lots of alternatives:

Direction can be via multiple tubes aimed into the air, each with slightly different direction.

Speed can be from a hot wire. Weather stations sometimes use this.

You can get both via lidar. You just need to make it sensitive enough to pick up a response from minute particles of dust or ice.

I think I just invented a new way: do a short-duration high-power pulse of an electron source or an EUV laser, causing the air to fluoresce at enough distance from the aircraft to be clear of the boundary layer. Track the motion of the fluorescing air with multiple cameras.
Haha, yeah
