I think you are viewing in the wrong way.

I see charity in terms of impact you can make. If I have 1000 bucks, and give 500 for charity, this means that I donate half of what I have. If Zuck fives 500 Million, he donated 1.000.000 times more than me. It doesn't matter how much do he has, it matter how much he can impact. 1 milion dollars are stiill 1 million dollars, despite if the donors has only 2 millions, or 1 billion.
From what I understand, your point is that advertisers don't respect the DNT anymore because Microsoft turned it on by default.

But would there have been any incentive for advertisers to respect the DNT even before Microsoft got involved? If the answer to that is no, then I don't think we can blame Microsoft for what would have been an inevitable outcome anyway.
Well done! This is awesome - such a nice UX :)
I agree with what you have written, and shouldn't have simplified after reading your first post. Thank you for correcting me.
Just checked and it updated immediately to "true" when I turned Chat Sounds back on and immediately to "false" when I subsequently unchecked the setting. So that at least leaves open the possibility that the ID number list updates automatically.
This is not unique to the TSA, or bureaucracies in general, but more the universe. Every dynamic system feels the desire to grow and preserve itself.

Do you think that twitter's innovators patent agreement fails at addressing your concerns about defensive patents?

> The Innovators Patent Agreement (IPA) is a new way to do patent assignment that keeps control in the hands of engineers and designers. It is a commitment from a company to its employees that patents can only be used for defensive purposes. The company will not use the patents in offensive litigation without the permission of the inventors. This control flows with the patents, so if the company sells the patents to others, the assignee can only use the patents as the inventor intended.

And the agreement text:

https://github.com/twitter/innovators-patent-agreement/blob/...
It's just a fancy way of assembling the identifier "main" without writing it explicitly. Inside a preprocessor macro definition, the double hash mark is an operator which concatenates its left and right operands. This is a lexical operation. The "yell" macro takes six arguments and returns the concatenation of arguments 2, 3, 0, and 1, ignoring 4 and 5.

The billy_bob macro calls the yell macro, passing in some letters - if you look at which letters from "i,n,m,a,t,e" end up attached to which arguments in "yell", you'll see that "yell' rearranges 'i,n,m,a' to spell the word "main".
"everyone wants to prevent another tragedy like this"

If that were true, wouldn't we'd only be seeing gun control proposals that directly flow from this event, not all the "usual suspects" that are also being proposed again? E.g. the "gun show loophole", which has not been implicated in any of these events to my knowledge. But it turns out gun shows are a vital part of the US gun culture and shutting them down, as the fine print of these proposals would do, would do it grave damage.

We're seeing a whole lot of what some people define as insanity, doing (recommending) the same thing over and over again, regardless of results. That doesn't strike me as a response to this event, but opportunism in using it.
I thought the problem with refined/processed foods was that they were too easy for our bodies to absorb. Or is that true, but the amount consumed still results in a lot of 'leftovers'?
Also include the column headers in the sticky part so that you can see those as you scroll too :)
> Sending servers a "Do-Not-Track" header is like putting a "please don't look at my house!" sign on your porch

If we must make an analogy, it might be more like, "please don't sell photos of my house without my approval." But even that isn't a good analogy because houses aren't people vising websites.
While I still buy every one of them (twice - one for me, one for my younger brother) - I don't get why they are still posted on HN. I love the bundles, but it just doesn't seem like it is startup news anymore.
I don't think Filing for Chapter 11 is something you decide to do one weekend so I wonder how much THQ knew what was going to happen in a few weeks and what they gained by putting out the Humble Bundle. Maybe it was a move to get something out of the Chapter 11 proceedings.

A humble bundle once a month is probably okay. After a month you might want to try new games anyway.

I'd love to see this study enrolled in the Reproducibility Initiative: http://reproducibilityinitiative.com

Strong claims require strong evidence.
This seems to be an arbitrary limitation you are applying. Most specialized machinery requires highly-skilled workers. They are effectively useless without the right person operating (executing) the machinery.

Regardless, my original point still stands: it is their duty to return as much money as they can to shareholders/investors. Someone is willing to buy their patent portfolio, therefore they are selling it.

Why are you trying to assign morals to something as simple as an exchange of assets in a market?

(This isn't arguing for or against the idea of patenting these technologies...that's a different can of worms. But as it stands, they A) have patents and B) are capable of selling said patents.)
I love the Humble Bundle, but there have been way too many of them this year! So many games in my backlog thanks to them.

I wish you didn't use that sneering tone. Class warfare by the upper class is a real thing, but trivializing every item as "pet issue" of this or that class doesn't help anybody and makes you look like a loony.

> Just about every organization becomes self-preserving as its primary function.

But when they prioritize self-preservation over their intended goal, that's bad.
This might be premature, but I think what you're doing here is brilliant. I know so many designers-come-web-developers who struggle with the back-end portion of web development. Many use cases simply don't need the full flexibility of a web app framework, but do need more than what you can cobble together with outside tools like the various embeddable form tools and widgets.

IMO, the authentication & authorization portion of your app is going to make or break the result. I'd like to make a suggestion. There is an authorization library for Rails named CanCan. It uses a declarative definition for authorization that is similar (loosely) to what you've got going right now. There is also an extension for CanCan called Cantango, which builds out the concept of roles as packages of permissions.

Again, I'm speaking really loosely here, but it looks like you're still working on this portion of the product, and these libraries work in a way that I think makes sense to your target market. The declarative style is a good fit for font end developers. You simply describe how you'd like users to interact with the API, and you're done. If you incorporated some of the ideas from these two libraries, I'd be really thrilled :)

Can't wait to recommend this.

Being More Human
Sure... And if I display the exact same frame twice in a row at 48fps I get 24fps.

So anything that 24fps can do, 48fps can do too.

I'm not sure what your point is. If a film maker frame doubled 24fps and projected it using a HFR system nobody would regard it as HFR.

And I don't buy the crazy idea that someone using 24fps during an entire movie would someone be the achievement of some visual art perfection.

This is wrong, wrong and wrong.

I didn't say that.

Also I have to laugh quite a bit at you describing a movie called "The hobbit" which shows dragon, trolls, elfes, magicians, etc. as "trying to reproduce reality".

I didn't say this either.
In javascript yes. Munificent probably got a bit confused with java (that's what he seems to be using in the rest of the post, and from what I remember it's his historical go-to language) or with Dart (I don't know if dart mandates `this` for self-attributes)
If only those disciplines would not be shifting. Being in my mid 40s now I have seen shifts to and from mechanical/electrical engineering, physics, biology, chemistry, computer science, business or law degrees and many more.

Actually when I graduated from high school the safest and easiest path to employment that was recommended to us was to study a humanity and become a teacher (teachers here - Central Europe - are much better paid than in the US) or get a business degree and work for a bank or insurance company. Both of these paths seem ridiculously risky now (or at least last time I checked).

As a conclusion I would argue that there is no such thing as a "free ticket to a successful career". Chances are high that at one point or another there will be a surplus of people in everyones profession and almost everyone will experience unemployment or need to shift careers.
An idea or patent is utterly worthless without execution

No it's not. In this case it's worth $525m. Clearly other people assign value to them, even if you don't.
I don't care if someone is fat. What I care about is the loons saying that it's healthy and fine to be morbidly obese and they use stuff like this to back it up.

"Gut bacteria are the cause, I can do nothing"

"It's genetics"

No, it's calories in vs calories out. Maybe these bacteria make you want to eat more, maybe they somehow pull more energy out of food than normal gut flora somehow, in the end it doesn't really matter. Eat less, lose weight; eat more, gain weight; the definition of 'more' and 'less' are individual.
That meme post is (currently) the 6th answer down the list. If you managed to read through the first four detailed answers and are still looking for more, then I think a meme is fair enough.
These reviews are really helpful.

Many reviews in the popular press ignore the overall experience and focus on minor technical differences (e.g. a tenth of an inch difference in thickness). Reviews focusing on the overall experience are on order of magnitude more useful than the "list of specifications" review.

I would say that it is ambiguous code.

The first C project that I worked on used this a lot. Its definitely not the easiest to understand when coming from a C++ background (because no parameter declaration means no parameters) or from other descendant languages.

Well great merry christmas .. www.christmas-loans.org.uk
I agree. I already own most of the game of bundles that come out. I used to buy them anyways, to give money to charity, but now that bundles are out so often, I think more about it.

It's good that the games aren't coupled in one big Steam key, so I can give the keys to friends or family (not sure if that's OK by Bundle rules though...)
How about formatting the ternary thusly:

value = test
? (some_value * multiple)
: false_value;
Yeah that seems a little counterintuitive at first, but your assumption is correct. You still absorb lots of cheap calories from the sugars / carbs that you eat, but there's still plenty of leftovers for the bacteria. Everyone's different though - some people may have no issues at all, others are extremely sensitive.
I think it's a bit disingenuous to compare yourself to Spotify (at least on HN). I think a big part of Spotify's business is that they have agreements with the big 4 record companies for each country, and they're rolling out their service as they get the deals signed in each country. So if I use Spotify, I'm listening to music legally, and a lot of music is available.

You are using Youtube, so you're limited by what's on Youtube, and various other strings attached.

Anyway, I think the site is a lot of fun, rock on! =)

So in theory, if a pill was developed to just kill that bacteria, fat guy loses weight.
Funny, my editor usage is different, so I prefer dashes for the exact reason you don't. I use opt+(shift)+arrow keys to navigate and select words instead of mouse doubleclick.

camelCase and under_scores both select the full string as a word. But if you throw some-dashes-in-there, and you're using the keyboard, it's super fast to select just the bits of the value you want. Without the dash, you have the select a character level to modify aspects of the string, which is fairly fiddly for being such a common task.

A simple example of this being awesomely quick is adding a pre/postfix to values, eg:

@color-link
@color-link-hover
@color-link-active
Top tech blunders of 2012
You're not the first person to glorify volunteering and charity work over monetary donations, but I think it's misguided. It's my impression that most charities could use money a lot more than volunteer time, especially because it's easier to convert the former into the latter. If you make $50/hr as a contractor, you could go work as a volunteer for an hour or do an hour of contracting and give 5 man hours to a charity, as well as giving 5 people some work. Or if they don't need any extra labor but they need anything else they can use the cash for that. Even if it's a lot less romanticized, getting full value for your labor out of a market economy then redirecting part of it to charitable causes probably does a lot more overall good than doing a (relatively) inefficient amount of labor. You argued elsewhere that people can get dependent on money, but they can be just as easily as dependent on anything else you do.

The only exceptions I can think of are blood donations or anything where you're donating a 'human' element (visiting the elderly) rather than your work.
"[the pathogen] can induce obesity and insulin resistance via an inflammation-mediated pathway"

This is why weed reduces one's risk of diabetes and also often helps obese people lose weight.[1] For what it's worth, you can now actually (supposedly) buy CBD (supposedly) legally online:

http://dixiex.com/

CBD is one of the more common non-psychoactive cannabinoids in marijuana, and it is responsible for many of the anti-inflammatory benefits. While more research is needed, lots of people are reporting the same sorts of benefits that this research is reporting, but without the obvious negative side effects of taking anti-biotics. (Whether there are negative effects of longterm CBD use is anyone's guess, but as far as I know nothing has been discovered so far.)

Sounds like what they're specifically stopping here is selling ad space inside their eBay app. Which makes sense -- they already make money off the app by getting more people to buy stuff on eBay; running ads in the app is just a distraction, and I'm surprised they were doing that in the first place.

Now, if they were stopping buying mobile ads, that'd be bigger news. But that doesn't seem to be what they're talking about.
this reminds me of another article written a little while ago http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-11-18/how-airport-...
which discussed how it is incredibly less safe to drive than to fly (even with terrorist attacks) and that the increased security of the TSA is making more people drive instead, which has caused a lot more accidents and deaths because of it. both interesting.
There's the "##" operator with which you can glue together identifiers with the preprocessor.

#define yell(i,l,o,v,e,u) o##v##i##l
yell(i,l,o,v,e,u) will turn into the identifier ovil.

And billy_bot just uses the yell-macro to produce a "main" identifier.

#define billy_bob yell(i,n,m,a,t,e)

yell(i,l,o,v,e,u) --> o ## v ## i ## l
yell(i,n,m,a,t,e) --> m ## a ## i ## n

So billy_bop is main.

Why is this features useful at all? When you actually want to programmatically create function names, type names, struct names in preprocessor generated code.

#define ENCAPS_STRUCT(type,name) struct encaps_##type { type name; }
ENCAPS_STRUCT(int,a);

will generate...

$ cc -E test.c
# 1 "test.c"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command-line>"
# 1 "test.c"

struct encaps_int { int a; };
Are you in a relationship with him on FB? It seems almost unanimous that people who report their significant other have them at #1, regardless of the level of interaction with them. I'm guessing that relationships and family members listed on Facebook are always at the top. Which makes sense intuitively if the endgame is predicting who FB thinks you will want to chat with.
Bootstrap 2.2.2 is going to be the last 2.x release and it's fairly polished to begin with.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khumbu_Icefall

They walk up that thing, its called Khumbu icefall. Basically the valley glacier spilling out in slow motion. Its incredibly dangerous (as you probably surmise), even though its at the bottom. Since the ice is all cracked up, many people fall into the cracks. Believe the local sherpas do most of the work each year to find a safe route through that mess.
>> So someone with a big list of usernames and known salts and MD5s just proceeds to generate MD5s of a list of common passwords + the salt, and then compares that to the list of stolen hashes, and ends up with a pile of passwords that work.

You mentioned earlier that rainbow tables aren't used anymore - but this is exactly what rainbow tables are. Precomputed lists of passwords + salt. That's why I was talking about the entropy in the salt earlier - the more randomness in the salt, the more infeasible it is that anybody would have your rainbow table. And you're right, /dev/urandom of a fairly large size is perfect, but the crypt($user.$time.$rand) is not all that bad either as it does have $rand in there.

I think you were agreeing with me here, and if so I'm just confirming your confirmation. ;)

>> thousands of iterations of that will always be slower, on all hardware, than a single iteration of anything else.

If your FPGA array can brute force 10 characters of bcrypt in 8 seconds and 10 characters of SHA1 in 1 second - does it really matter? If you have pushed the time to crack down into feasible time, the exact number of seconds becomes irrelevant. The hacker may have to step out for a coffee if you use bcrypt instead of getting the results right away. Hardly more secure?

Filtering based on location, language, and current time are all very logical. I have no problem with that. The 'bubble' problem is more about personal filtering. Who you are, what you do on the web.

But I object to your middle paragraph. Editorial decisions have nothing at all to do with bubbles. Bubbling is altering results based on the individual user, there is no connection to the results of mass media prioritization.

Basically, what you want isn't bubbling.
That looks like a great initiative!

My biggest concern is how individual employees are supposed to enforce this kind of agreement if the patent owner reneges. A random programmer is not going to have the financial means or a strong enough incentive to pursue violations.
