Not sure why, but the first thing that came to mind was Motel of the Mysteries. If there's ever a catastrophe where a significant amount of information is lost, one can only imagine what our distant descendants (or perhaps an alien species) will think when they uncover these structures - what inferences they'll draw about our lifestyles in the absence of the actual context in which these structures were built.
Okay, thanks a lot.

PS: Nice tip, I'm still new to Hacker News :-)
Citation needed? Is there any reason to believe that if the browsers had insisted on wellformed documented and provided errors like "error at line X, table tag not closed" that people would not have been able to fixup documents? I don't believe that's would have stopped things.

But that exact behaviour, trying to infer intent, meant that tons of unspecified behaviour had to be added to all browsers to try to mimic which each one did to handle totally invalid cases.

So, even if leniency did make it easier to create a web page, it also contributed greatly to the already difficult task of creating consistent cross-browser rendering.

Look at JavaScript, and the recent semi-colon debacle with Bootstrap and some other tool. Having "implementer defined" leniency just means you'll get multiple interpretation and problems.
Hmm... Might be good advice. That's just the format or structure used to explain the exercise minus any content, though: a beginning, middle, and end. The actual content in my article is the practice of a form of mindfulness based on the central precept of Stoicism. In other words, you've missed out the "Stoic" part.
Reminds me of the Game of Thrones character matrices I've seen around. People who are religious, funnily enough, exhibit the exact same tendencies as Game of Thrones and Dr. Who fans (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNtnN_DiP3o).
Hard to search for snow fall visualization. Do you have a link?

Also these battles were visualized a million times by the Total War series. Although far from realistically with questionable educational potential. But that's largely a limitation of computer speeds. Still, more interesting than looking at charts.
> But you're using an arbitrary definition of 'less' that most people do not use, and have never used.

Contradicted by this:

And this:

And this:

http://oxforddictionaries.com/words/less-or-fewer

And this:

http://afterdeadline.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/01/fewer-vs-l...

A quote from the last link: "The basic rule for precise use of 'less' and 'fewer' is simple (though we slip often). Use 'fewer' with countable, individual things, and 'less' with uncountable amounts, volumes, etc. So: 'I should drink less coffee,' but 'I should eat fewer doughnuts.'"

> 'Smaller keystrokes' is, in context, nonsensical.

Yes -- which is why I posted in the first place.
I've seen that on some History channel programs recently. Had to look twice to make sure it was computer animated, not a filmed scene. Can't remember the exact program series though.

"I was shocked to come back online after a couple of hours and find this at the top of the front page"

Well mindcrime, Stoicism has been on my mind for well over 20 years, and I'm simply agreeing with your "shock" that a simple link to the Meditations is on the front page.

Let me assure you, this level of recognition of the very word is new. It may be only the Tim Ferriss PR machine, but I think it's more than that.

Geek/hackers that I've come across over the last 30 years have much more in tune with such awful hackneyed dungeons and dragons/Tolkien crap than anything so sophisticated.
Here's a very interesting article about Albert Ellis, one of the originators of cognitive-behavioral therapy, who was directly influenced by Stoicism: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2003/10/13/031013ta_talk_gr...
Yes that's true, and many businesses work that way. It heavily depends on the use case.

That's why I carefully added "internationally and instantly" between brackets here.
People buy movie from the distributors, but if they also have a legal option to buy it for free (or very cheaply from some guy selling pirate copies out of a truck) then the incentive for distributors to buy product from the content producers practically disappears since they are competing with something that will always undercut them.

Pirate sites tend not to carry advertising from blue chip companies, last I checked it was mainly snake oil penis pills, weight loss pills and "fuck girls in <geolocation of your IP address>". Most of these companies are likely located offshore also.
There are more recent translations, but they're not in the public domain. Take a look on Amazon if you're keen.
On the same site as this article you can also complete a "Stoic Attitudes Scale" that we've been developing in collaboration with a team of psychologists and academics linked to the research on Stoicism at Exeter University:

http://philosophy-of-cbt.com/complete-online-survey-the-stoi...

About 100 people have done it so far but at this stage we're just collecting feedback on the concepts included for incorporation into a revised design. The feedback has been that people have found it really interesting and useful, though. Feel free to check it out, you can still complete it online.

> Life is so much more than being a profitable servant.

It is. So a lot of people rightfully feel a bit screwed over going to work, having 56% marginal tax rate siphoned directly off the paycheck and then another 25% VAT at the till (no "essentials" VAT rate, all is 25%). That is on top of some of the most expensive groceries anywhere in Europe.

The system is setup to benefit those who spread their careers evenly over as many years as possible - indeed, it's very well tuned to make that life very comfortable. But save up for a few years, take a year off, be an entrepreneur? You'll get screwed on all fronts.

The the extend the "servant" idiom is useful, if you work in Denmark, you're as much a servant to the system as you'll ever be.
IME most workplaces have showers. It pays to ask; they can be well-hidden. Failing that, ride at an easy pace in the morning, wear breathable clothes etc. Cycling needn't be any harder than walking (unless you have huge hills or something).

Files are pass-through uploaded from users to an S3 bucket and given a UUID name. That name is stored with the push data in Postgres and a GCM tickle is sent to their phone with a push_id to act on.

The app receives the tickle and makes a quick api call for the push data and sees it needs to get a file. It then asks for the file and I make sure they have permission to download it and then let them.

Over engineered? Maybe :)

You're right, "utter failure" might be taking things too far.

"Consider the target audience of this. It'll be more technically inclined people. It's again safe to assume these people will mostly have JS enabled."

I disagree with that sentiment completely. The target audience for this is people who're most likely to be (sensibly, imo) running with NoScript or with JS completely off.

Given that, and given the site is implementing a function that doesn't require JS /at all/, to not even have the page throw an error message is pretty lousy in my books.
Possible attack: Because the strings are not ASCII, implementations now need to bring another library in to decode those strings. Now lets say someone encodes an end-string char (single quote?) using some alternative encoding that doesn't use the ASCII quote char.

When an implementation saves this file, it normalizes that other encoding to use an ASCII single quote, then proceeds to write out the rest of the string. This isn't caught inside the implementation, because the encoding library only normalizes when writing. When it reads the data in, it still just represented it as bytes, and there was no ASCII single quote byte until the end of the dangerous string.

So, yes, it's possible that even something as simple as "string encoding" could be used to implement an attack.
Many companies here (though I guess I only really know larger corporations) ensure there's adequate shower facilities for washing down and changing in to business attire before work. In my new office's case, the office catering supplies fresh towels that you just throw in a bin after using and they look after it all.

We can also leave our details with someone here and they'll arrange for a bike service to be performed during the work day.

I've noticed a recent up-tick in companies (especially engineering firms - one of them sponsors the major cycling event in this country) embracing cycling as an activity and mode of transport. It's really good to see.
How much money are you making from those 15K users?
You may actually be referring to Mayan books instead:

There were many such books in existence at the time of the Spanish conquest of Yucatán in the 16th century, but they were destroyed in bulk by the Conquistadors and priests soon after. In particular, all those in Yucatán were ordered destroyed by Bishop Diego de Landa in July of 1562. De Landa wrote: "We found a large number of books in these characters and, as they contained nothing in which were not to be seen as superstition and lies of the devil, we burned them all, which they (the Maya) regretted to an amazing degree, and which caused them much affliction." Such codices were primary written records of Maya civilization, together with the many inscriptions on stone monuments and stelae that survived. [1]

As for the Aztecs, interestingly, many of their books were burned prior to the Spanish invasion:

Two of the primary architects of the Aztec empire were the half-brothers Tlacaelel and Montezuma I, nephews of Itzcoatl. Moctezuma I succeeded Itzcoatl as Hueyi Tlatoani in 1440. Although he was also offered the opportunity to be tlatoani, Tlacaelel preferred to operate as the power behind the throne. Tlacaelel reformed the Aztec state and religion. According to some sources, he ordered the burning of most of the extant Aztec books claiming that they contained lies. He thereupon rewrote the history of the Aztec people, thus creating a common awareness of history for the Aztecs. [2]

In any case, there are more than 3 Aztec codices in existence now. [3]

Um, we're talking about one click shopping. ONE. CLICK. And that's still too much? It is? Right, you've just crossed into the asshole zone. And by the way, people like you are the reason that stores have those anti-theft tag readers by their front doors.

And @darklajid: who says I'm here to change your mind? Perhaps it's really about pointing out how people who think like this are just being monumental pricks. Whether or not you're comfortable with that is up to you. But if you think you can be a prick and not get called on it, well, guess again.

One more thing: not paying is stealing. Copy all you want, that's not theft (making isn't taking, etc.) But just understand that the second you make a copy, you own the artist money. And if you decide to keep that money, you're holding onto something that is no longer yours. Which, as we all know, is explicitly wrong.

It's like bouncing a check. Sure, the money to back it will be in your account (i.e. your possession) for a few days after, but that doesn't mean it's your money, in that spending it on something else will land you in legal trouble if doing so causes the check to bounce. It's different in that the artist doesn't know you stole from them by keeping money to which you're not entitled, so it's not such a direct violation of trust. But it's still wrong. And since the artist has no moral obligation to make a transaction seamless, you can't put yourself back in the right by saying "well, I found that paying was harder than breathing, so that means the artists forfeits completely."

Sorry, but that's not how the law or ethics work. And I think you know it.
I'm not sure what you are talking about, but the Price:Earnings ratio is not a guess. It is based on past SEC filings. To suggest as much indicates a significant lack of understanding on your part, and I am really not sure what business you have discussing this topic with anybody.

Edit: I realize that Forward P/E is different from P/E, but various analysts use various numbers for Forward P/E, so it is not a definitive metric in the first place.
I would be fine with the Register being blacklisted, personally. Never seen anything worthwhile on it.
Not at all verifiable, at the very least they were rounded up, at worst they are cited from some hagiography (the source of much history at the time) and massively inflated. The citation on the Wikipedia page with such authority is from a massive history of the entire world in 40 volumes based on secondary sources by diodorus 300 years later, so no, it's not likely to be accurate or useful in comparisons with other times. History as a discipline based on verified facts is a relatively modern invention.

Anyone got a download link that does not require me to sign for another service?
For something that relies on physical delivery, you can do a lot more. And there are no chargebacks with bitcoins, so I'm surprised if there aren't lots of scammers. If you can convince someone to send you bitcoins, you have their money and they can't get it back.
I concur, looks like it's not finished - some tables are empty, and there's even that fun "Introduction [Write last]" at the beginning
We're veering pretty far off topic here, but consider that, rather than attacking atheists or agnostics, we should just be more precise:

Maybe if people knew what Apple is planning for it's future they might treat it different. I don't get why Apple is hiding everything from everyone.

They can be clear about their future just like Google and Amazon. Everyone knows Google is investing in augmented reality and self driving cars or Amazon is trying to be big in content and customer electric market.
True, but if you have energy that can't be easily stored or transported, it might be worthwhile using that energy to make clean water. For example, the solar panels in 3rd world countries can only charge batteries up to a certain point. The solar cells would still generate energy but there's no place to store it so one might as well use the excess for clarifying water.

Well my experience with braintree is that if your business model is innovative enough they won´t take the risk to process your payments (told personally by a braintree representative in a phone conversation, after a brief explanation of our business model). At least they are very kind, and they´ll tell you before hand, so you don´t have to waste time with all the legal paraphernalia.
A pity because the API seems really fast to implement and well thought.

Respecting Paymill... well we are not going to put data on the hands of the Samwer brothers right away(just in case...).

Have there been any cases of them actually being unmanned? It seems cheaper and easier to hire / coerce someone to fly them. Search Google Images for "marijuana ultralight" for some example images of a crashed hang glider trike ultralight (probably due to the massively overweight payload).

(1.5kW*24hr)/225gal ~~ 150 J/g, which is in line with the figures reported here

http://www.aquatechnology.net/vaporcompressiondistillers.htm...

Ideally, one only has to push the water back and forth over its phase boundary by an arbitrarily small delta-T, so the energy consumption can be arbitrarily small too. The 150 J/g is all heat leakage.
That's exactly how my mother behaves as well. She does online stock trading so she has good reason to be cautious.
> A god could define rules. So can men (in fact, men can be observed to create rules all the time). Anybody can define rules if they wish to do so. I'm not quite sure of the point here.

The first parent comment implies the created can dictate on what basis the creator will "welcome you".
That can only happen if the creator has given the created that specific trait. How does the created know if it has that trait?

He might have other traits like e.g. free will, but that does not mean he can make rules on how the creator will welcome him.
If the alternative to letting that sector fail was endless propping up in the pre-Thatcher sense, then yes, it's served Britain well. It's regrettable, but the alternative isn't too bright either.

That's exactly the kind of security risk that the article is talking about. Internet Explorer could be tricked to use US-ASCII encoding and interpret ¼script¾ as a script tag (CVE 2006-3227)

Liberal vs strict is a false dichotomy. The third solution is to accept all possible inputs, but in a specified way.

Instead of taking draconian XML approach you can solve the problem by taking HTML5 approach and make error handling as interoperable as handling of correct input. In case of STEP files you could require all implementations to clear the 8th bit (or drop or clamp bytes out of range — whatever as long as it's specified and mandatory).
I bike to work in Japan, where we still have lame archaic office dress code requirements (the best I can do is Brooks Brothers chino pants and a tucked-in open-collar dress shirt with a belt).

It's an uphill ride to work, so I bought a mountain bike with one of those electric assist motors to help with the sweat thing. It makes riding up a moderate hill no more taxing than riding a regular bike on flat ground.

I thought it would be kinda lame for regular bike purposes, but it actually works out well. The law here says the motor has to cut out at 25kph (16mph). And when that happens, because it is really heavy with the huge battery and motor, it becomes extremely taxing to coax any more speed out of it. But riding around at max speed feels still gets my breathing and pulse up.

So the upshot is that I still get a lot of moderate exercise from the bike, and I can locomote around Tokyo at a pretty much constant 25kph, using either the road or the sidewalk depending on traffic/pedestrian conditions.

And, because I can take a pretty direct route to work, I get there in half the time it takes on the subway.
> Anecdote: I made a school art project in second grade, a picture of a Mongol horseman, that somehow was precociously good, probably because I had seen other such drawings at home when reading history books. The school's specialist art teacher was so impressed by the picture that she took it, and I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT AGAIN. Every time I tell this story, I encounter other adults who also remember producing an art project in school that was taken by a teacher, never to be returned. Thanks a lot.

That isn't actually a copyright issue unless the teacher copies it and/or distributes it. It may still be some form of theft though that assumes it wasn't lost while in the teacher's care for valid reasons.
iTunes is unusable, a mess, an abomination - and even if you do like it for some reasons I cannot even begin to imagine, it's a bad 'solution' for people that don't own a Mac, don't use an i(Pad|Pod|Phone).

I do buy a _lot_ at Amazon. Heck, the one single credit card I have (for .. Amazon, mostly) is Amazon branded.

I'd agree with the GP: It's still not easy enough. Your emotional reply won't change my opinion and probably neither his.

And, please read your post again, notice the tone and the couple of direct attacks against the GP's person. Frankly, those are unnecessary to make any kind of point.
Presently no, thats something I need to get on.

The way this mechanism works, you're supposed to go through the image personalization step on each computer you access the account with anyway. (And if you use localStorage, that makes it per-browser).
In general, investing in consumer facing stocks is not desirable. They are subject to greater volatility, and more people believe they understand your business because they are consumers of your product which can lead to further distortions in share price (to the positive or negative side).

They will say that it's not a fraud. It was only an experimental treatment fundamented in abstract "principles" and they had some signs that it improves some of the symptoms in a few patients. Regrettably all the new studies proved that it doesn't work but the risk were clear in the small letter of the contract. Luckily now they realized that this treatment can be possible useful for another illness and/or they have another experimental treatment for this illness.

In the Nolan trilogy, all of his gadgets were already made by Wayne Enterprise for some other purposes or are shuttered projects. With data from batman's adventure, they can use the data to refine the prototype. Batman also doesn't fight villains constantly.
The API does work like a charm. If history can be a reference, Paymill is going to get bought by one of the big players who want a quick start in the European market (Stripe comes to mind). But I do get your reluctance.

Edited articles (whether the title, URL or anything else was changed) should at least show who edited it, when, and what the previous content was. Then you can see that the username associated with the post did not really write that content (making it more authentic), and any comments relating to previous titles/URLs can still be understood by seeing the previous content (making it more relevant).
