All they needed to do was get a few popular apps available and people would get used to using the store. On a fresh Windows install, I usually want to following:

- Firefox
- office suite (Libre Office for me, Office for my wife)
- games (Steam)
- backup software
- video chat
- image/video editing

Some of these could work just fine with WinRt, others don't. If most of my frequently used programs aren't available through a store, I'll complain about the store. If most are and a couple aren't, I'll complain about those apps.

Most apps people want don't currently use WinRT (AFAIK), and many apps probably will never use it (heavy software like games, maya/blender, photoshop/gimp, etc). It's really telling that Microsoft's motivations are when they prioritize the least used platform (and the most beneficial to Microsoft) in a new app store.

> Automakers objected, contending that manufacturing costs would rise, seat belts would imply increased accident rates and safety wasn’t a selling point with customers.

Decades later, they did the same with airbags, ironically trying to get out of it by pushing mandatory buckle-up laws to shift responsibility from the industry to consumers.

The thing that I like about Duckling is that it is a rules based system, which can easily be interrogated. Model based text extraction is much harder to fix when there is a bug. I use Duckling as a service in value extraction from queries and content alongside a model based system for NER (such as spaCy). Using both together makes for more accurate enrichment in general (by cross referencing between the two for values, and adding exception rules)
So to be clear, I agree. It was a miscarriage of justice. My specific question is by what metric should we decide to ruin the career of a person who worked with him? Should we reasonably expect all persons to notice when justice isn't served due to corruption, and then ruin their career as a result?
How to Boost Average Purchase Size in Your Pharmacy by 30% Just Adding Some IT
From memory, the Netburst team ignored power efficiency until power density concerns hard-capped their frequency targets (and this was on 180/130/90 nm!).

Itanium is often lazily pointed to as a failure by Intel, but in reality it was a hard task with decent execution.

Intel attempted to build an ecosystem around an entirely new architecture. Emphasis on smart-compiler extracted instruction level parallelism, supported by wide but less superscalar hardware. In 2001.

As an analogy, this is kind of like asking every driver to toggle a switch to manage the engine mapping while they drive. It could be more effective, but it's also a ton of work and relies on expertise being developed.

AMD delivered what the market really wanted in x64: something that looked exactly like x86, with a few modest improvements, and some 32-bit scaling limitations removed. But no big changes.

The Israeli teams are usually cited as the caretakers of the P6 (Pentium Pro) legacy, which evolved into the Pentium M, and eventually the Core architectures.

They chose to optimize for power efficiency, and so didn't hit the same power caps the Netburst team did.

Generally, the internet comments on this are armchair generaling with the benefit of hindsight. There are many reasons things could have gone differently.

Sometimes two teams work equally hard, but one chooses a path that leads to success and the other one that leads to failure.
Yeah this is very true. The main audience for amateur indie game development tends to just be other amateur indie game developers. Often this seems to be out of a sense of reciprocation - "I'll play your game if you play mine". The emergence of many big, well funded companies cashing in on the "casual" space has really stuck quite a lot of nails in the coffin of that kind of development as something that you could plausibly interest people with. You don't have the time and energy to develop a great game and also win in the attention economy.

Shipamax (YC W17) Is Hiring Mid or Senior Python Engineers
When reading about what Physcon, I reminded me of an interview[0] I recently listened to with Drs. James Lindsay and Peter Boghossian. They bring up some of these very ideas and how they are encountering them today in our society: i.e. people who see science and reason as "master's tools" of "oppression".

It seems that everything old is new again.

I'm tapping out here if you're just going to keep going in on semantics my dude. You're not addressing the real point, that your credit score can be used against you in housing and employment, you're building a semantics straw man and attacking that.

> Isn't spacetime an all time storage system?

I don't think it is? What does "storage" mean? It refers to something that keeps something else invariant over time. Spacetime is time itself and can not be considered "storage".
Such a solution would be Uber for Pickup Trucks, or alternatively the stores you are buying from (Home Depot or Lowe's in the USA) offer delivery for some items like that.

Running such a business requires not just an app but also capital risk: what happens if the driver doesn't deliver $1000 worth of construction materials? Who absorbs that cost? The business would need to negotiate insurance contracts for such a problem.

So yeah, until someone has the courage to start a biz like that and acquire all the resources needed to run it, it will remain just a dream and the Home Depot will just tell you "get your own pickup truck and drive over here and buy it and take it home yourself, sorry!"
You can't charge premium for games, because they don't bring the money to the people buying them. Almost every stupid enterprise application has positive ROI, and companies are ready to pay for it. For a game ROI is exactly 0$ and a few hours of good time.

Do you understand our value proposition?
Hi there,
I have a website: ottocopenahgen.com, but I am concerned that consumers doesn’t understand our value proposition.

If you should guess, what do you think we offer?

Best,

“Offered some new insights” seems innocuous enough. I don’t think you’ll find such modesty in the claims these writers make. Despite the ostentatious self aggrandizement inherent in their critiques of our intellectual and cultural traditions, the best defense any honest person can offer for their work is a backstepping timid “they offered some new insights”. Well the newness of their insights is debatable. Listen to any child’s tantrum and you’ll hear echos of foucault’s whining about the unfairness of power.
>No, just comments pissing on the work of others, who have managed to be in the industry for 25 years.

If someone manages to do something for 25 years they're somehow immune from criticism? I don't think that follows.

>Gets to complain about the graphics in Jeff's games.

People generally decide to get into a craft like game development because they think they can do it better than what exists out there. This sense is what guides you and what keeps you moving forward. But there's a gap between your sense of what is good and what you can actually create with your current abilities. And this gap can only be diminished by working and creating new things all the time. It takes time and patience.

https://vimeo.com/24715531

I'm constantly in the process of improving my abilities and I'm happy with my progress. I know where I am and where I want to go. But when I see another developer simply say that they have given up on this process in some fundamental way I will view that with disdain because I see it as a failure, which it is.
I suspect each and every “customer” he had was compromised/blackmailed. Additionally there are subtle indications that he has intelligence connections and was perhaps even state sponsored. Now which state ... well of course I’ll be flagged and downvoting to suggest this but most logical is Mossad. Interesting he had a fake Saudi passport and diamonds, among many many other hints there is an intelligence angle to this story.
We should note the distinction between natural moments of daydreaming (one minute here and there) and the daydreaming as an escape from reality where one lives in their fantasy land. I think the former is harmless and may actually help the brain sort out some thoughts. The latter is obviously pathologic.
What if the key is module.fn
The uk already has a fairly progressive property tax call stamp duty and many councils in the UK have property taxes (or at least our equivalent called council tax) for empty properties. The problem persists not because of billionaire investors but due to:

- Easy capital access in the form of cheap buy to let mortgages. Easy access to leverage mean property out performs pretty much every other investment and much of the middle class can afford it.

- Lack of regulation on tenancies. Very very easy to kick people out and up the rents.

- General shortage. The uk simply doesn't build enough houses. This is made worse by many jobs existing primarily in London / many graduates not realising that there are opportunities outside of London.
> the guy on the left is doing a pseudo white nationalist symbol (even though again, I’ve heard it’s not, but sometimes yes?

No, it's not now, and never was. It's always been the "OK" symbol, and always will be (as in, "Everything's okay over here!"). That was just some pathetic campaign from the left to get someone in trouble that merely disagreed with the "agenda".
I would recommend brilliant.org. From first-hand experience, this might be exactly what you are looking for: start from the basics and grow into complex matters, by solving one short problem at a time.

I think this is relevant with regards to your perceived lack of intuition: they have a way of making you discover the solution to complex problems by introducing complexity through a succession of simple problems, in a very piecemeal manner.

Yeah I agree with you, that's pretty clear. But I worry about edge cases, people who affiliated with him briefly.

Stock market means average. Every "investment" that is slightly over average stock market returns for some time beats the stock market in that timeframe.

Now, doing that consistently over and over again is something to strive to, but not many other investment in the same risk category do it.
It’s a low bar for automated cars to be better than tired, impaired or distracted drivers. It’s a very high bar to be better than all drivers.

Lots of people learn to program without a degree. Is it a particularly interesting thing in some way?
This is one of the reasons Linux is so popular for cloud clusters: it's really easy to completely control updates. Basically, host your own package repository, update on your schedule, then tell all your servers to update as well.

Windows has similar tooling for the OS, but it doesn't have an answer for everything else other than a ton of hand-rolled scripts. If the store doesn't make that easier, the enterprise won't use it. This seems like a huge missed opportunity. It should be trivial for an enterprise to curate the store like they can on Linux.
Releasing a Linux version is pretty much never economically viable. Planetary Annihilation made a Linux version and despite representing only <0.1% of sales Linux users accounted for >20% of bug reports[0]. That's pretty damning.

This was the hardest thing to get used to in linux coming from Windows. In Windows an installed program lives in Program Files and has a shortcut that starts it from it's home folder. That's very different from a namespace collision possible global install that can be run from any folder.

I still don't fully agree with it but it makes some things easier. The Windows way also made multiple version installs possible.
Are you sure you're replying to the right post?
> none of them are ever in the street.

I think that's the goal. Others who already love in the area otherwise would protest the construction because their precious street parking would have more competition. We should just take all the candy away from the kids and ban most street parking like in Japan. But the US loves their cars do that's never gonna happen.
> Then use cash?

This is typically infeasible for online transactions.
> If you want a number to be a positive integer you would write a Go struct containing a uint. That's all.

Uint is a specific machine type, not an abstract positive integer type. So if you want a positive integer in Go you are fucked. If you try to use uint for that you have to carefully handle a whole bunch of edge cases. It's only in some dynamically typed languages a positive integer will be a positive integer and in better ones numeric operations will even be separate from string operations, so doing APIs will be significantly safer than in Go.
Reflecting on my own though it, it’s mostly wordless—images, wordless but coherent brain states, even physical money Harrie states, all anchored by a key frame word here and there.
You're confusing a work of one scientist and the whole field. Gene edited babies are inevitable, as soon as we start seeing massive benefits (lack of genetic disease, increases IQ, increased speed, increased muscle mass, improved cardiovascular and immune systems).

Parents already spend ridiculous money for the tiniest benefits for their kids. Genetic editing will be huge.

Without reading the cited book, the case doesn't seem to have been made for this.

"then we have the first four books by Apollonius on conic sections—the more elementary ones—but the other three have been lost"

Maybe the 4th volume was just wrong, or an index, or so highly valued it was separated from the other 3. Or maybe the rich hand side of the bookshelf got rot.

I know Mossad has a reputation of being a law unto itself unbound by outside authority, but it is not actually a distinct state—if you want to say Israel, just say Israel.

It will be interesting to see whether the open sourcing of the Power ISA will impact upon the RISC-V efforts. Having the choice of too many open-source ISAs could end up with a situation where support remains sketchy for all of them.

When you eat an animal, you are consuming (in this analysis) all nutrients it has consumed over its entire life, of which 90% are wasted vs. just eating those nutrients yourself. It isn't talking about bioavailability or whatever.
>unsymbolised thinking, a trickier concept to get your head around, but essentially a thought that doesn’t manifest as words or images, but is undoubtedly present in your mind.

I've always been good at producing mental white noise (or TV static), for lack of a better term. I wonder if it's actually unsymbolised thinking. When I'm not actively thinking, there's just a massive wall of static. In these moments, I'm not thinking of nothing but I'm also not thinking of something.
It's in Part 1.
> Probably the worst marketing campaign I remember was Nexium, which ran ads for several years encouraging people to talk with their doctors about “the purple pill,” without ever mentioning what it could treat. The tag line — “little, purple, different” — didn’t help.

IIRC, this trick lets them avoid the big list of disclaimers and side-effects, as they're not making any medical claims in the ad. Nasty, IMO.
Presumably sperm from a donor that had desirable traits.
If this is the billed data I think it is, then this data is super unhelpful. I have done a few different projects for providers (I am an actuary) and I could never find a good use for this data. Billed charges are a made up number, you really need the discounted data (varies between each payor and provider), and need to know what market you are in (employer, ind, Medicare, Medicaid, some kind of ACO or other agreement).

Also, a lot of what the reddit OP wants already exists in various forms (some of them you have to pay for, such as truven data). 'Bundled payments' have been picking up steam for the last five years or so, and there are public data sets that describe things like knee surgery costs in different geographic areas. I think CMS has a website that already visualizes this data as well.

Ask HN: As a freelancer, how can I help a junior team?
As a freelancer, what can I actively do that doesn't incur too much overhead on the junior developers, but can still support them in their work and career?

Background:
I'm a self-taught web developer, doing freelance for about 8 years now, I've worked with about 10 companies (anything from 1 month to 12 months at a time) and have also created a mostly-automated revenue-generating side-business.

In my current project I'm placed in a very junior team. They're all good coders, but for many of them, it's their first job after university.

I'm trying to figure out, how I can best help the team. I do pair programming with several of them. I try to crank out some features, but their domain knowledge is higher and the codebase is very large, so my efficiency is limited. I've done a workshop to get more out of their IDE (JetBrains tools in this case) and they liked it.

ADDED: Am not in a managerial position. I was asked to help develop features as freelance developer, but after a month, the project manager had asked me if I can also help the team in a more mentoring / coaching role.
Privacy Fundamentalism
Along with all the bad things people have already mentioned, you have to add that, in reality, it's a creative job, which means it's inconsistent in producing good content regularly.

I'm not saying it's not possible, just that you cannot keep asking creatives to just produce good content, so you cannot really keep promising the best of the best most of the time, as you'd be able to in software development (assuming good development and team dynamics).

This translates in inconsistent sales and hence inconsistent people development. These people (like those in stressed software development environments) end up taking sabbatical months/years at the end of each project.
Ask HN: Preferred Method of Funding OSS
There have been a few posts over the last couple of weeks around how OS Projects have asked for donations. Being someone whom is working on a newer foundation that is targeting OS projects to both help with maintinence, work and help raise funding I wanted to guage what people preferred as users.

I am in the camp of "Get out of my terminal" at the moment and think that there are better ways for open source projects to help raise some money in order to pay for their time.

Right now the best source of funding I see are programs like Open Collective and Patreon - Im not too sure how I feel about putting Ads in ReadMe's - maybe a seperate document in the repo might be better - I think its fine to be on the main site of the project though ( if they have one )

So, what are your thoughts?
What was the conflict of interest?

Dunno - whatever was running through the HR people's heads.

The whole point is - it wasn't simply for "having a YouTube channel".
This is absurd. Where on earth are these "racist and horrible" Pepe memes coming from? In reality, 90% of uses of the Pepe character (which is now a fading meme) are as an avatar or highlight of a post's emotion. Seriously, the majority of all Pepes ever posted have been either a sad frog, a smug frog, or a happy frog. People use the meme to help express themselves along with their text, and then people spazz out worse than a bored housewife hearing about D&D in 1985 or NWA in 1995.

Peterson may not even be able to see the flag in the photo, but he has known about Pepe for a while, and even mentioned the meme in his livestreams as "interesting", possibly because as a Jungian psychologist he sees some association with Abraxas, which is a kind of "god of nature" / good+evil archetype in some of Jung's writing.
