My little brother and sister had it from 11 and 12 respectively. Yes, it's quite interesting to think about.

Anyway, what's your point? By the way, you're discussing this with someone who believes that in the future we will record and utilise orders of magnitude more amount of data about our lives and our planet than we do now, enough to make your eyes water, and furthermore, that we are inexorably fated to do so, and furthermore, that it's a really, really good trend, one which is going to play out in highly unpredictable and surprising ways.
First, Aaron didn't die for anything you just wrote about in your comment. He died of a terrible illness exacerbated by what was by all evidence wholly unexpected aggression by prosecutors.

Second, people are allowed to disagree with you, even after Aaron's tragic death, even when we can reasonably guess that Aaron would have taken your side in an argument, without being "tone-deaf" and "insulting". From what very little experience I had with Aaron, I feel confident that he would rather have had people debating him than become a card to be played by other people in arguments to shut people up.

Third, the trope of accusing people who disagree with you on HN of somehow being bought and paid for agents of some shadowy force would be offensive if it wasn't so stupid-sounding; so... for lack of any better word: lame. Really, Aaron? Rayiner is somehow connected to Westlaw? The evil forces of Lexis?

Finally, as I understand it, this story links directly to a service for which you collect money. Have I misread that somehow?

An even better question would be: if I'm running a medical journal, why would I publish an article that states "new therapy for kidney cancer found not to be effective"

People forget that publishing a paper is no small feat in and of itself. Extensive data analysis, manuscript writing, reviewing, editing, legal clearance, etc.

Are people really suggesting that a pharma company who conducts a trial and figures out that 1/2 through the trial the drug isn't working should be forced to do a complete data analysis and publish the results? That sounds ridiculous.
$7 a month sounds like a lot for storing a few kilobytes of files. Especially given that he could get 5 GB of storage free on Google Drive or a similar service.

The silly thing here is that Github's pricing for private repos doesn't take into account bandwidth use or repo size. After all, those are the costs to Github, not number of repos. It would be like a grocery store charging you a flat fee for 5 items, without bothering to inquire about what those items were.

I think it's a win, as long as they make rolling releases between LTS releases optional. That way the LTS users keep their current status quo, and the 6-month release users get a more even distribution of new features and OS updates (they can be released when they're done, not when the release cycle hits, and you can always have the latest web browser).

How to Get More Visitors to Your App?
Yes this is coming back to me now too what my problems were. The aliasing comes in fairly audible no matter what you do, and relying on the synth then prevents you from having any timing control at all, or over the interpolation. I can't remember what exactly I was trying to do, but whatever it was I'm sure I solved it with Chuck probably, hehe.

I appreciate the information, but this misses the point. Facebook hides privacy settings because privacy is bad for their business objectives, and most people will never bother to dig for these settings, leaving them open to the kinds of attacks demonstrated by the original post.

The issue is not independent entities, it is the unwillingness of the gov't to use the powers it has.

For example, Pfizer was found guilty of promoting Bextra off label, a very serious charge from the viewpoint of the FDA and the Justice Department. Punishment includes banning companies from doing business with CMS (who run Medicare and Medicaid).

Pfizer entered into an agreement with the Justice Department/HHS where a shell company was allowed to plead guilty and be banned from doing business with Medicare. That's right, a shell company that doesn't actually sell any drugs.

How We Built Airbnb Holiday Cards in Five Days
While it's (probably) true that the information is already available, it's not easily available.

If it's going to take me 25 days of tedious profile reading to find people who I seek (e.g. "Lesbian women from Greece who like Doritos"), I'm not going to do it. It's not practically available.

Graph Search changes that. Obscurity vanishes, along with any security it provided.
The reason I originally switched from Gentoo to Ubuntu several years ago is that Gentoo kept deferring from marking things stable. At one point it had been almost 10 months since a Gnome release and it still wasn't marked stable. This was during a time of great transitions like Network Manager - something that was desperately needed. You could of course go in and say it was okay to install the unstable versions of various packages but my list just kept getting longer and longer. Rolling distributions change the big milestones from everything to smaller pieces but they will still be a problem such as when new Gnome/GCC etc releases come out that interact with a lot of other packages.

My main problem with Ubuntu/Canonical is that they seem to prefer going their own way instead of trying to collaborate. Unity could be done as a Gnome Shell extension. Replace upstart with systemd. Do something about the bugs.
Blazingly fast. I promptly installed the Chrome extension. Thanks for your hard work!
"I'd be interested in knowing your (brudgers) history"

Many years ago, I bought an Amiga - it allowed me to feel persecuted. Then life went on, I built a 386 to run AutoCad, Commodore went bust and somewhere along the way I stopped feeling persecuted because everyone didn't see how great the Amiga was. But I remember the feeling and how futile the arguments.

Sure Dell makes money on servers. But they sell a lot of servers because they can be a single source and because being a single source adds value for their customers (27% of revenue from government customers) And of course, they don't lose money when Latitudes are on the same P.O. Indeed, some of them are high margin.

RedHat's challenges are not really relevant to the reason Dell may go private. Dell sells Linux because they sell hardware not because they share an anti-Microsoft ideology. Anyway, rather than lock themselves in to a single platform, maybe RedHat should look at TechData for a hardware partner...I think that's a very handsome building on their Wikipedia page, but then again I might be biased.

"Dell using Red Hat for their server OS partner, might feel more comfortable, and have better pricing control, than Dell using Microsoft as a partner."

An assumption that everyone hates Microsoft aside, there isn't much meat to hang the "might" upon. It's nice to have friends who can loan one money - Microsoft's $2 billion is more than RedHat's total revenue last year. Then again, Dell's net revenue last year exceeded Redhat's total asset value.

In other words, Dell plays in the big leagues, not double A where companies like RedHat lack a mobile strategy, have a weak desktop presence, and can't hit the breaking ball.

The biggest blindspot on HN is created by the rage people feel over Microsoft. My gut suggests that it's a bit of a blindspot for YC given PG's essays. On the other hand, I empathize with it. I once bought an Amiga.
It seems silly to have any modern Linux distro be anything but a well implemented rolling release, because people aren't getting physical dvds to install this stuff anymore. If you run a server, get the latest stable packages, run with it, and if something needs upgrading manually upgrade the select packages you want to update. Keep security updates. If you are a normal user, you can probably just let rolling updates upgrade everything.

The greatest problem I have with my relatives who I have running Ubuntu or Fedora is that major version increments will almost always critically break the system because they are often 4 - 6 kernels or other package versions behind. If you were to step through the update process in order, you might get a minor snag, but often it updates flawlessly. I have never had an issue in over a year running an Arch box (besides porting my init scripts to systemd, but that was a unique case, and that wasn't a problem, it just required effort) whereas on two separate machines going from 11.04 to 12.04 broke the kernel or graphics drivers respectively.

I do think most distros could do better with 3 tiers of packages in a rolling release, though - new releases for the actual developers of the package to run through the ropes and find and fix major bugs they specifically encounter, which then pass into a testing branch where enthusiasts can run bleeding edge software and submit errors they encounter to be fixed before it enters mainstream core repos. A lot of the current problems with rolling releases are that you don't have a big enough pool running in testing to catch the majority of slip-through-the-cracks integration problems that pop up after the release itself is solid, so you need to properly incentivize people to use the testing branch, and the main reason people don't do that is that updates often just outright break the software entirely rather than have integration issues, hence 3 tiers.
But I have to wonder if Jobs manipulated Isaacson so people would worry less about Apple after his passing away? Isaacson's book was very poorly done and offered very few actual insights other than Jobs getting to see his father. In fact after I read Inside Apple I was left wondering how Isaacson got away with writing something so lightweight.
Welp, I think I'm going to cut it off here. Clearly we're not getting through to each other, and I prefer to do my mindless arguing on other websites.

I urge you to read through his posting again (slowly). You're phrasing (or closer, shoehorning) his article and your response as a mentorship versus hostility debate, but it feels a bit straw-man-ish misrepresentation to me. Let's keep shifting the other author's position to the "evil" side.

Though, again, perhaps I'm wrong. Maybe it was a "terrible," "ugly," and (now apparently) "hostile" article. However, you'd need to point out the directly hostile parts to me, in that case. Because I missed them.

I'm well aware of the "they work for me, therefore they work" fallacy. I also never said they work for everyone or even most people.

The fact is there's both positive and negative studies of SSRIs, the debate over their effectiveness remains ongoing, and at the moment these medications are widely accepted and used. Real world experience of these medications among a huge number of practitioners and patients is still ahead of this debate, in my opinion.
I'm willing to bet that APIs will eventually expose searching the text of posts, not just "Likes". Sure, it'll be introduced with examples of better ways to find people with common interests, but inevitably it'll expose even privacy protected posts to bad actors (e.g. Big Brother Police State, Ad companies who pay a premium, etc).

Is anyone willing to argue that in the future it won't be possible to query something like "find recently single women who are bipolar (i.e. frequent dramatic changes of mood/tone in wall status posts), high school dropouts, without a living father, and are easily impressed by nice cars"

The sad thing is that all the data are already in FB databases to answer queries like the above. All that's preventing mining that data is ever changing ToCs and government laws.
Take a look at gitlab, an open-source Github-like web app [1]. It's free [2] [3].

[1] http://gitlab.org/

[2] You have to have somewhere to host it, and that hardware, power and bandwidth cost money. If you already have a server of some sort -- like a cheap Xen VPS, or an older machine that you use as a Linux server that runs 24/7 stuffed in a closet in your house -- you can treat that part as a sunk cost, since you would have bought it regardless of your adoption of Gitlab.

[3] You have to go through the trouble of setting it up and keeping it up-to-date yourself. Saying it's "free" assumes the time you spend creating and maintaining the installation doesn't cost you anything.

Mozilla already has that covered: https://marketplace.firefox.com/

Chrome also has their web store. The major bridge is there needs to be a standard interface for web apps, in addition to some standard way to use them offline. Since most local storage limits itself to 5MB max, you don't really have the offline storage you need to run a game, for example.
Nah I meant retarded. And people are right to downvote it, I shouldn't have used that kind of language. It only goes to pollute the message which was in essence that the religious grip in Ireland has been a very detrimental factor in the progress towards proper health care for women in the country.

Oracle is becoming a parody of itself. Can they just hand off the entire Java platform to a capable 3rd party already?
I'm still confused how a platform running only html5 + js applications can target low power devices. Performance on Android, which runs a highly optimized JVM, is only barely reaching acceptable levels in the last year with Project Butter. Ubuntu Phone, targeting the same use case except with native apps (albeit scripted in qml) comes out next year.

How is a device built on a browser engine supposed to provide good UX on low power devices? My Android tablet has Firefox stutter and wheeze through pages and loading, often freezing up on any reasonably sized amount of javascript, and it has a Tegra 3 (TF700) which many would call the high-end mobile device market.

Transform Videos into eBooks with Storyboard
Just a comment about "slip opinions" posted on federal court websites and state court websites. Slip opinions are not always identical in text to what is eventually printed in the official reporters (and that lawyers, and those representing themselves in court, need to cite). It's not just page numbers that are inserted. The back-and-forth editing can change words in the opinion.

So, unfortunately, until the courts themselves publish the final versions of their opinions online -- something they may need to negotiate into the next round of their publishing contracts -- the opinons swept into the RECAP project are just rough drafts of the law.

To be clear: I have done a fair amount of scraping state court websites for my own projects, and I'd love to see the federal PACER system opened up. I can think of some great cross-docket research projects that could expand our understanding of how the legal system really works. But even opening 100% of PACER would not achieve the goal of public access to the official appellate opinions that actually serve as controlling precedent (or even to reported district court opinions, which also are edited by the official reporters).

I was a dev in Windows from 2008 to late 2011. Many comments from Mini MSFT resonated with me. My review history was never bad, but knowing precisely who in my peer group got more money (by watching title changes) and knowing which talented, hardworking devs got shafted (by private conversations) was really bad for my morale. Every review period I'd reliably see the same set of folks (manager's favorites) get regular title changes for doing crap work, and the same bright hardworking people doing the "real work" would be given some lame excuse (if not outright set up for failure) and told to just reach a little higher next year. It stings.

Never mind the outright stupidity of a system where a theoretical "dream team" of 10 hardworking, talented, best in class individuals would need to have 1 go without a bonus every year.

Maybe they'll be more diplomatic than what I'm writing, but I don't know anyone at Microsoft whose opinion I respect that won't concede these points or admit that there's a problem.
How to Continuously Monitor your Internet Connection
The notion that the government doesn't already have access to all that data is absurd. Facebook has shown an eagerness to cooperate with governments and law enforcement in the past and I would be extremely surprised to learn that they're not already selling or giving away data to government for large-scale data mining operations.
We'd need to decouple work and wages. Someone told me there is no such thing as working illegally in the US. There is only illegally getting paid. I am sure we can find work for everyone but how much is the compensation?

Perhaps we ought to guarantee a certain amount of money to everyone whether they be Warren Buffet or Joe Schmucks. Then, we'd get rid of the minimum wage.

I had a similar conversation with a coworker this morning. What job would have the most people applying for if no job paid any money? In other words, if salary and job were decoupled, what result would we see?
"At the time, I thought that was it: a bad trip but glad it was over. But over the following months I developed a chronic anxiety triggered by all sorts of things."

That is just a bad trip. The problem is that if it brings up a lot of issues and you can't properly integrate them then you will have chronic anxiety issues, and any resulting physical brain changes would be from the chronic anxiety rather than from the psilocybin itself.

The normal advice when this happens is to do the drug again and to try to resolve whatever issues came up. But if you're on anti-depressants right now then that's not really an option, and you also probably wouldn't want to do that without a more experience guide.

Yet again, I struggle to make sense of what exactly you're trying to say. You're using a lot of big words, but not necessarily making your point clear. What does "making a dispersion of self and novelty apparent" mean?
