This is a great question. I love Google for the most part, but their customer support is absolutely and utterly terrible. And by design it would seem. No doubt backed up by data mining and A/B testing telling them that offering good customer support is terrible for their bottom line?

For something like this I sincerely hope they find and partner with a great customer support provider.

TechStars, FounderFuel, & YC startups to get free customer support from Desk.com
If you think that the goal of a startup is to get the highest possible hype-based acquisition valuation, sure. Call me naive, but I still believe that building an actual profitable business is a much better goal. It may not lead to crazy payouts, but it is also more honest and does not depend as much on timing a boom phase. I gather that this kind of thing is derisively called a "lifestyle business" in startup circles. I submit that at least it is actually a business, rather than a hand of hype poker.
Valve is not a public company so there is no shareholders nor investors who can pressure Gabe to sell. There is also absolutely no insensitive to sell for him. Even if he gets tired of Valve he can simply start a new venture by using the insane cash-flow raining directly in his bank account.
Does Apple actually keep money in off-shore tax-havens? They are legitimately making tons of cash everywhere in the world (the majority of their revenue and profit) and that money is stuck there and they can’t bring it to the US. It’s not like they moved the money out of the US to flee some tax, they just didn’t make it in the US but elsewhere.

It’s seems to me that this is the main driver here for Apple.
I never really thought of it, but there are only 11 sizes of body armor that have to fit the entire military? I hope they make the new ones available to men with shorter torsos and/or narrower shoulders. I guess taller and wider guys will still have to fend for themselves...

I wonder what the cash/stock ratio was for this acquisition.

Microsoft does not allow competition on their OS this time around. So, Steam is no longer allowed to compete.

If there are no alternative, people may still hate it, but it will still be the killer feature.
That is what I meant by "shouldn't have been granted in the first place"
Box Raising Funding at $1.2b Valuation
Seems like nonsense to me also. Obviously tiny round things can be swallowed easily. Now I understand the laws don't quite work that way, but still, it's not like this product could be manufactured in anyway to make it safer. And I don't think more warnings plastered over everything would help Buckyballs or consumers in general. We're polluted with warnings - just look at the roads in the US.
For about 3 seconds I thought maybe this was about yarn.
I also installed the preview to see how it works and after many frustrating experiences I now found the perfect way to use Windows 8 on my laptop.

When it boots I immediately launch a remote session to my windows 7 desktop.
But if the end result is an acquisition, the YC brand may actually matter much more.
One myth I want to debunk:

Copernicus's theory did NOT do away with epicycles. Search on Google for "copernicus epicycle" and the first article demonstrates my point. The one who did away with epicycles was Kepler. Copernicus believed orbits had to be perfectly circular; Kepler recognized that the data fit better into an elliptical model.

It's not 100% clear whether the author believed the "myth," but hopefully I can set some people straight in this forum.

On investigation, and somewhat surprisingly to me, it seems that medical experts legitimately believe that swallowing these particular small metal objects are worse than swallowing garden-variety small metal objects because if you swallow e.g. 5 BB pellets then you'll pass 5 BB pellets but if you swallow 5 high-powered magnets you now have one single clump o' metal which is large/heavy/sharp enough to damage your intestinal tract.

I probably still wouldn't ban them but, hey, worth noting.

I love HN since you arrived. I stumble upon some comment dripping with uninformed ridiculousness about Apple and nine times out of ten whatever I was about to say in my reply has already been said by you but better.
I think we should ban knives, and hot surfaces - to protect children of course.
Why would MS pay 3 billion dollar for Valve, if they can just abuse their position and disallow Steam on Win8, and then just steal the market.

Which is exactly what they are doing, with the win8 store policy, metro sandbox, and pricing strategy for the x86/classic-desktop version.
Well, it isn't looking good for C-60: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16709433 it has been six years and I have yet to hear any news about the bass. In all seriousness, would organ binding from within be an aspect of "toxicity"?

A single clump early would actually dodge the worst outcome: where two separate magnets, one ahead of the other around an intestinal curve, attach to each other through the intestinal wall.
I've noticed a lot of anger and bitterness creeping into comments on all topics, not just those related to startups.

But there is definitely a category of commenters with tall-poppy syndrome. I guess that has it's own distribution as well.
Hmm... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXmmkH2Y7M0 it turns out its when you swallow 2 or more they pinch and squeeze the intestines.
Children will do the craziest things if left unwatched for even a second. This year alone I've heard about kids drowning in backyard pools, a kid dancing on an air conditioner on a window sill (was caught by a passerby) and a kid dying because a soccer net fell on her.
Is it just me, or did anyone else notice an increase in graphics performance? I did not measure, but it should be significant, as I am noticing it in normal usage.

I think the big difference is that thumb tacks are not a toy. These are a toy. They're marketed as a toy. They're given to children as a toy.
I most certainly read this as OP swallowing a thumb tack.

Because they're strong magnets. They stick to each other, even through tissue, like the folds of your intestines.
> linguistics was defined as Chomskian

IOPOTW (In Other Parts Of The World) Chomsky may have a much lower relative influence on linguistics. For instance in France, you have Ferdinand de Saussure and André Martinet. I read a bit of the later, and it seem to me more solid on some grounds than Chomsky, because more humble (the first act of reason is to acknowledge its limits).

I'd bet in continental Europe the political Chomsky is deemed more interesting than the linguist.
Google has owned Motorola Mobility for months now and is in every respect in full control of the company. They have had plenty of opportunities to "do the right thing" but have chosen not to.
After reading the complaint ( http://i.usatoday.net/money/_pdfs/cpsc-complaint-buckyballs.... ) I'm doubling down on that. This is one of the most asinine things I've ever read. Per paragraph 36, the CPSC complains that the product warnings are ineffective because parents and caregivers don't appreciate the hazard and will continue giving the magnets to children.

So adults fail to keep the product say from children, despite the clear warnings (which have already been upgraded by the distributor in response to a previous warning from the CPSC), but the CPSC thinks that amounts to a product defect. Also (pp 41-44) the magnets are too attractive and interesting to children, for whom it is 'developmentally appropriate' (p 17) to stick things in their mouth below the age of 14 or to make fake piercings as adolescents.

What. The. Fuck. On this basis we can go on to outlaw nails, screws, buts, bolts, and coins. We have about 15 sets of these things and don't want our money back. We're well aware of the hazard and don't allow children to play with them.

The CPSC does some fantastic things for product safety, but this isn't one of them. In fact, some of the items they're complaining about are just plain ridiculous; griping that a product was in a child-safe container seems beyond silly.

Though this did bring up two thoughts near simultaneously. The first was an onion article of ten years ago ( http://www.theonion.com/articles/fun-toy-banned-because-of-t... ). The second being someone I know who recently had emergency surgery after deciding that they would be an excellent thing to sound with. While protecting kids is important, at the same time, kids can and will do stupid things, and a few people swallowing them a year does not seem to rise to the level of requiring a ban.

My box had a very visible anti-ingestion warning label. However, nobody mentioned anything about the top layer of chrome wearing out. I stopped using them when I kept getting small shards of metal embedded in my fingers.
Tell you what. Wrap some gun powder around them, call them bucky bullets, sell em over the internet, you'll be untouchable in America.
So, what happens in animals who swallow magnets is that on occasion, two magnets or a magnet and another object can be in different windy bits of the intestinal tract and stick together, pinching two otherwise unconnected parts of the intestine together, sometimes kinking them together sufficiently to cause a blockage, which doctors say could cause perforation of the intestine or other very bad things.

So as many wild accusations folks want to level at the government over this there is a medical rational for their action.

You said that sum types were omitted from Go because the designers were not aware of more recent developments. That's not true. They were omitted because they do not mesh well with the other features of the language, such as zero types, interfaces and embedding.

Whether you agree with that latter point is moot. Go's designers were and are fully aware of sum types; they chose to omit them from Go for a reason, not because they were ignorant of their existence.
Also, children are - rather obviously - more likely to put a smooth object in their mouths than a sharp pointy one, and also more likely to swallow it.
That's right - Punish the company, not the parents who can't supervise their children.
It usually is. Designers tend to say, "Gee, I've got an entire 1Gbps link! I don't need to think about efficiently using bandwidth ever again!".

This is true, but is only a problem if everything else is equal - which they aren't.

I'm not defending badly performing graphics heavy websites which have no reason for existence except to display 24bit versions of things that could be done in CSS.

BUT I am looking forward to the ability to transmit multiple streams of 1080p (and higher) video while my children play games with rich, 3D video assets and my electricity supply optimization company monitors the temperature of every cubic centimetre of air to determine if the air conditioner's fans need to be turned up.

Yes, that will chew up a lot of bandwidth - and I'll love every single bit travelling over that beautiful, beautiful, fibre...
To be fair, swallowing magnets (multiple) is far more of a health risk than other small things babies tend to swallow (coins and detritus). I believe this is because the can stick together in a way that causes intestinal blockage makes holes in the intestines.

The same high risk comes in watch and hearing aid batteries - it's not the size, but in this case the chemistry in the gut.

I don't know the right solution. I love playing with Buckyballs, but am wary and hide them away when my 1 year old niece is around. I think an unfortunate problem is that toy stores are treated by many parents as "all of this is for children", even when labels say 3+ or adults only or whatever.
Looks good. We'll be implementing something with filepicker.io in about 2 weeks. How can you make the "pick file" button open and default to "my computer" each time it opens?

Or, even better is there anyway to simply embed the pop up window in a page and eliminate the need to open a modal or pop up?

Supposedly some types are strong enough to stick together through intestine walls an can cause damage or blockages [1].

Still, a ban and lawsuit seems a little over the top.

I think the issue is that no parent can reasonably stop their kid from swallowing these if the kid wants to; do you disagree with that? Note that every McDonalds toy that is actually perfectly safe for young kids has a swallowing/choking hazard, so it's pretty much guaranteed that people can't know that they have to take those seriously in this case.
Another one for the chorus of yesses. Single founders can and do build great businesses, but of course the dynamic can be rather different from a multi-founder firm.

It worked fine for me as well, installing it around 30 minutes ago.
You do know that Apple does most of what can be classed as R&D through its normal P/L operating units. So it's not like there is a separate iOS R&D team specifically churning out patents. Patents can and do come from ANY engineers across the company. It's the same at most companies.
We have to define dispersion I guess.

Australia is a bit odd. It is among the lower ones in terms of average density but among the higher in median density. We're very clumped; 89% percent of the population is in urban areas. Compare with densely populated Netherlands, with only 61% percent in urban areas.

This is a totally ridiculous comparison. I'm not in favor of the ban, but comparing a knife (something dangerous that no sane parent would let their kid play with) to this (something less dangerous that is explicitly a toy that most parents would have no problem letting their kids play with) is ridiculous.
Yup, getting 403 on http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/xcode_4.4_21362.... This is really disappointing!!! Why is it taking Apple so long to fix?
Unless the video game developer is creating a game only for metro then the Windows Store will not cause any harm to Valve. Although it is possible to list a non metro application in the store (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsstore/archive/2012/06/08/list...) users will not be able to purchase or directly download those applications from the store and MS does not take a cut of non metro apps.

You bring up a good point about the WinRT ARM devices. These devises are very closed off similar to the IPad, the only option for WinRT tablet users will be to go to the Windows Store but I don't think Valve even cares about this market too much ( I don't think you can download games directly to your iPhone from the steam app, can you?). Steam in my opinion is geared towards the PC desktop gamer not the (ARM) tablet* user, so Valve has nothing to worry about.

*x86 tablets will most likely be able to download steam.
Where is that quoted css ("fooled...") from?
I don't get why anyone thinks any company should control infrastructure. We don't have private electric lines, or private roads that are corporate funded. We don't expect train tracks to be privately laid. Our entire phone and cable infrastructure were built by private companies (mainly AT&T) by getting tremendous government subsidies and being effectively publicly funded for private enterprise.

There is absolutely no reason that any local government in the US worth its weight in salt couldn't start a fiber to the home initiative where they take a tax hike for a few years to pay off laying fiber to everyone in the district. They could contract with neighbor regions, or with private long line services like Level3 to provide internet access, and then nobody gets ripped off when they get a telecom monopoly in their area, because it is a publicly owned utility.

It is getting to the point where internet access is so ubiquitous and essential that we need to see the rise of public fiber and wifi to enable competition in an area where for the last 30 years there has only been collusion and monopoly abuse. I consider myself a social libertarian but we have proven time and time again in history you can not effectively privatize infrastructure and expect long term benefits to society from that.
I'm familiar with this line of reasoning, but I find it unsatisfying and I suspect it's really more of an apologia for American corporate power than a sound history.

Manufacturing was absolutely galloping into China before this sort of tight inter-company integration was even a gleam in anyone's eye, and there's no obvious reason such integration couldn't have developed elsewhere -- except for the labor issues.

The integration that's now heralded as the reason for moving manufacturing to China seems self-evidently a product of such movements to me.

"I'd like to paste yanked text into Vim command line."

While the top voted answer is very complete, I prefer editing the command history.

In normal mode, type:

q:

This will give you a list of recent commands, editable and searchable with normal vim commands. You'll start on a blank command line at the bottom.

For the exact thing that the article asks, pasting a yanked line (or yanked anything) into a command line, yank your text and then:

q:p

(get into command history edit mode, and then (p)ut your yanked text into a new command line. Edit at will, enter to execute.

To get out of command history mode, it's the opposite. In normal mode in command history, type:

It'll certainly be interesting to see if scalability of the IPv6 DFZ routing table is actually better or worse than that of v4 (adjusted for growth in number of multihomed organizations, of course.) One could make an argument that the bloat in the v4 table today is largely due to disaggregated allocations from the RIRs due to exhaustion-avoidance address space allocation policy.

It is entirely possible that large organizations will be able to advertise fewer prefixes, as they have large, contiguous allocations, and thus can more efficiently aggregate at the border.

(Sorry, this is a bit late, but your comment got me to thinking...)
They won't be able to just jump 2,500 DirectX and DirectSound titles off the Windows API onto Wine. Maybe if they spend a few million dollars working on bringing Wine up to date with DX11, and then they have to deal with all the development houses not switching off Visual Studio and DX12 in the coming years, because they won't want to make the jump off the M$ platform.
