If you're on the west coast, you need to hunt out this beer called Omission: http://omissionbeer.com/

They use some kind of magic to take the gluten out of real beer, so it tastes like a proper beer, not that sour sorghum stuff. Fantastic! Pale ale is the best but the lager is pretty decent too.
The individuals also make the same choice when they select the company they want to work with. I assume this was meant to be implied. All business relationships require at least two parties.
I'd like to correct your last paragraph. Most CDNs use anycast to send traffic to the closest POP they have to you. However, most implementations use DNS responses for the front-facing servers. Not many companies outside of CDNs have the need or capital to use anycast for normal web/end-user traffic.

There are several other scenarios where it can be your ISP or can cause significantly different timings between ISPs. A lot of ISPs offer a network internal forward caching system (CDN-like) so your traffic will appear to go directly from your ISP to the CDN. This is typically done with servers inside your ISPs network but with anycast routing so requests to the CDN outside of their network stay within it. I don't know if Google/YouTube does this, but I do know that Netflix does.

Edit: this is independent of the post, which shows nothing but a fundamental misunderstanding of what's actually going on and why. I'd be more interested to see if this was flash or html5 video, whether it was using rtmp(s) for flash or http streaming, what IPs it ended up hitting instead of those two blocks and whether a traceroute for those two blocks went through the same or a different peer from where it finally connected.
No, it's probably some kind of terrorism though.

Some wage slave making minimum wage doesn't hop to attention to the second a college educated "lifestyle website" owner walks in the door, let me break out the violins. Then she's going to give some condescending life advice to the guy who is supposed to wait on her hand and foot.

Lowly wage slaves have their ways to deal with annoying, self-important customers. I have friends who are waiters. Believe me, the people serving you your food have all kinds of ways to get back at obnoxious customers. If I ever have the misfortune to sit at a table with someone who acts obnoxiously toward my waiter, or sends food back to the kitchen, you can be assured that I am finished touching any food that will come out of that kitchen again, destined for my plate. You can search the web for blog posts about these things if you're interested.
I really want one of these. As a Cintiq 24HD owner I could totally see the Surface Pro replacing it — denser screen, portable, doesn't weigh 40KG.

The only thing that really annoyed me is that the 150% DPI setting throws off the colour picker in Sketchbook Pro. How is the OS allowing this to happen? It seems stupid that the DPI setting is so badly implemented it actually breaks apps. (I have heard that Civ 5 with touch on the Surface Pro also requires the DPI to be changed.)
I believe the counter to that quote is "Early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy but socially dead."
Sins of the Test
Great article on the subject. As someone with a self diagnosed allergy, which I was unaware of for years, raising awareness can have a big impact. By just making minor tweaks to my diet, I am able to run again and back pain has decreased significantly, also thanks in part to acupuncture.
| breast feeding is good

I'm often amazing that there are people out there that are so extremely against breast-feeding. I'm not even talking about breast-feeding in public, either. For example, I met someone from France whose friend had to argue with the nurses in the hospital about whether or not she would be 'allowed' to breast feed her child. [According to this acquaintance there is a lot of breast-feeding == BAD sentiment in France.]

| tonsil-removing

Is tonsil-removing something in over-abundance? So far as I understand it, it's possible for your tonsils to be really infected (I've heard of holes in your tonsils that excrete puss), which would seem like a removal is a good thing.
Barnes & Noble Weighs Its E-Reader Investment
Bored during a recent commute home I decided to pay attention to the gadgets people were using. Then, in conversation with my sister it dawned on me: "Apple products are for old people!". My sister agreed, elaborating that "old people just need a simple device they can use for making phone calls plus the middle-class/post-middle-age have the money to buy into the Apple 'it just works' dream. 'It just works' is another way of saying 'simple' and that is what they want."

Although there are a gazillion web designers/web coders out there sat in front of their allegedly hip MacBookPros that will disagree with me, take a look at the Apple demographic on your next commute. Whilst you are at it look at the 'Samsung' demographic (including those with other Android devices). Apple products are the conservative choice, the safe bet for those of a certain 'elderly' demographic.

On the desktop Apple products do spare people of the tedium that goes with a classic Windows PC - ages to start up, lots of virus dangers and lots of 'reboot to install this pointless upgrade' scenarios. However, Google, with their Chromebooks have shown that there is another way and the choice is no longer Apple or really-boring PC.

The bit I like about Chromebooks is how everyone says the Google Pixel is 'a very expensive browser'. The bit they don't see is how Google have moved on from the classic 'WIMP' desktop metaphor that is now many decades old.

ChromeOS is not a 'skuomorphic metaphor' in the way Apple OSX is, it is a pure web experience, the future now.
Sure you cannot run ye-olde-desktop-programs with it, however, there are much better collaborative tools for creating content that are almost here. ChromeOS forces you to work with these new and improved tools because you cannot work with Wordperfect/MS Word any more. It is great and it is no tragedy at all that those gatekeepers of yesteryear - Microsoft and Apple - haven't really got much to offer for this brave new world.
These are few mild versions of social engineering:

1. Giving a compliment or a gift to someone can bring you favors.

2. Wearing clothes such that it would imply (false) higher social status.

3. Exhibiting confidence to make people think you are smart.

Do you dislike the language itself (like in the criticism of http://blog.izs.me/post/10213512387/javascript-is-not-web-as...) or the community?
Sad to see so many negative comments on this article and on the site, totally uncalled for and unfortunately very common with HN comments these days.

Give the OP a break. The story about the boyfriend was fascinating. Get over the bold sentences, they're fine. I can't believe we live in a world where someone says something nice and the first three comments on the article are regarding bold text.

And yes, some people can't quit due to circumstances outside their control. Fact of life. There's a reason 99% of famous startup founders are white American males - often they're people who come from circumstances where 'quitting fast' on their 'crappy job' is an option without severe consequences. Try finding me a group of famous founders who quit their job when they had dependents in order to go chase a startup dream and I'll be happy to back down on that one.

Some people do it tough. It's nice to read something like this that encourages us to cheer up and look at the good side of bad situations. That might not be enough to make life good, but it certainly won't make life worse.
If you spend your day typing the same stuff for a simple program, or you need an IDE to be happy, that is a language failing in my opinion.

The less bloated the core syntax is, the clearer your ideas are which makes your code easier to read. I'm not saying methods should be arithmetic symbols - I think short words with not much syntax around them makes for more readable code.

ruby tends to read like pseudo-code, which is a great way to express the code idea of your algorithm when you're thinking about it, and when you're reading it back later.
I don't have a link handy, but HBO has come out and said that they are not being ignorant or stubborn regarding GoT. They are completely aware of the market opportunities they are passing up. But, they have run the numbers and at the current time it is still more profitable for them to tie GoT to cable subscriptions than it is to open it up to a wider distribution. When the numbers change enough, so will their business plan.
I feel opposite. On slow days, it nice to have something to do, but not exhausting overload.
I thinkg that tonsils is one of first line defenses against bacteria/infections, so removing them would be suboptimal, although necessary
What I'd like to see is a breakdown of those reporting symptoms to what their actual diet is. I know people that claim celiac and avoid all gluten based products including things like beer. That said, a few of them I've known for years, the main gluten product I saw them consume was beer. Which has other aspects to it that can impact the digestive system.

I know many Europeans that have a very bread heavy diet with no problems. Bread-heavy being relative, in the sense that they actually eat a well rounded diet of which bread is a part of.

I know for myself (and project a bit on friends who's diets I know) we don't always get the full rounding of nutrients we should (dairy, vitamins, etc).

I wonder how much overall balance plays into things.
This is a nice article, especially on a general level of writing scripts that automate work so you don't have to redo it manually.

I want to point out one thing.

targetfile: sourcefiles
command

This violates DRY, there is duplication between command and source files (and target file?). In theory, it should be possible to automatically deduct the source files from the command.

It's far from easy in the general case, but it would save you from having to manually update source files when the command changes. (Any small inefficiency times lots of occurrences times lots of people really adds up.)
Sadly, most CSRs are punished for helping people, as that takes time or costs the company money in other ways. Instead,they are forced to try upsells when customers call for help. Startups, Please don't do this.
Japan’s Quiet Skyscraper-Demolition Technique Generates Energy
I largely agree with what you're saying, but I do believe that making an effort to be somewhat positive can have positive effects. Too much negativity in a workplace can be toxic and can have a paralyzing effect not unlike depression at the individual level. It seems a common retort around here would be, "just find another job," which is not a bad idea, but it's not always that simple.

I appreciate the link to the Ehrenreich talk. Her point on the anesthetizing potential of too much positivity is a good one. Realism and dissent are important for productive change in the workplace. But dissent can often be accompanied by a whole lot of pessimism and negativity (as she mentions), which isn't necessarily good for anyone. Striking a balance is important. As is often the case, it's a matter of moderation... which brings us back to that bold text.
Apple's been incredibly anti-stylus in the past, if I recall correctly. Didn't Jobs say something along the lines of "if your tablet uses a stylus, you're doing it wrong" at the genesis of the iPad? Although we've seen that isn't necessarily the case, I can't see Apple eating their words in this case. Especially not with the success and visibility of Samsung's Note line.

Gluten is delicious.
More challenging, in my decade of working at home experience, is turning off work to watch TV, movies, cook, etc. Work becomes the distraction itself. Perhaps it helps that I love what I do.
Because for many people, they are confused between their least area of incompetence and passion. This happens with 99.99% of the people, truly passionate people are exceedingly rare.

This is the sort-of sentence that some would characterize with the adjective 'entitled'.

And this post, at least, isn't 'astroturfing'.
What a gem! What a discovery this site has been for me......

To the OP: You have my eternal thanks! They bring back mixed memories... The unblemished joy of returning back to childhood/youth and the absolute white-knuckle terror at the inability to solve many of the problems and getting reprimanded....

I am going to have sweet dreams and nightmares tonight - I am sure that would be possible, now that I have seen these familiar titles....

Thank you again, OP :-)

[I know this is all against HN guidelines, but please let go this one time]
I think this is really great, not only for bringing opportunities to those who are less fortunate, but also their perspective on what's important and what needs to be fixed. Refreshing to see them tackling real, hard problems.
I know...! Tell me about it :-)
That URL is deeply confusing.
Part of open source is realizing people will steal your code. The only thing you can do is expect them to give the legally mandated minimum of an acknowledgement of copyright and authorship in alignment with the terms of the MIT license.

Are they good neighbors? No. Are they breaking the law? Only if they refuse to include an acknowledgement of your copyright in accordance with the license you gave them.
Really? Because for most people with celiacs, eating gluten makes them want to curl up in a ball and die, not sleep and have dotty attention.
Let's just say I wouldn't have wanted to be a tonsil in the 80s living in Canada. I assume it wasn't Canada-specific though, anyone confirm?
> Also, doesn't an apple-style commercial where somebody gets an email with a word doc attached, edits it, and emails it back with changes while on the train or something seem obvious....

Do that all the time with an iPad. This ad needs to show the pressure sensitive pen. Why not Sketchbook Pro just like in the review? And MSFT needs to pressure Adobe, stat. Get Lightroom pen editing running on it as well.
Also important: Ecclesiastes 9:11 to counterbalance this piece of patronizing drivel.
Low self esteem is often rooted in a disconnect between perceived ability and actual ability. Seeking some kind of objective measure which gives a clearer idea of where you really stand can be very helpful for some people.
Is Foxconn Fleeing China? Sure Looks Like It
VCs get many deals wrong. A deal missed is hardly a mistake. It's the deals won that are interesting to watch. If your chosen idea/team/model is unable to reach profitability even after you provided a $100m cash infusion - now that's something to be embarrassed about.
I don't understand. Netflix and Hulu are also subscription services.

If it's about the price of a cable subscription, then brown9-2 was exactly right to begin with: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5276396
Just like how working at a office has its time drains(Meetings/Travel/chit chat etc), Working from home too has its time drains(lack of self discipline, distractions from family members etc).

Working from home looks horrible if the person is not disciplined, you can end up the whole day watching TV or reading articles on the net since no one is watching you. In many cases WFH is synonymous with taking leave for a day, without actually having to take leave.

Currently you see the most discipline people working from home, hence you always hear good news about it. Wait for a while, when your ordinary guy begins to work from home and see how its not all milk and honey.
I wish there was more known regarding the type of bread/gluten exposure.

I know someone who has an 8 year old daughter who has weird reactions to gluten: causes her to feel sick, often get hives, and most of all get a cough that can't be controlled. Eliminating gluten fixes this. Normally reintroduction to gluten reintroduces the symptoms shortly thereafter.

However a year or two ago they went on vacation in Europe. At some point their daughter had bread at a cafe and the symptoms never popped up. Puzzled, they let her eat bread at other destinations during the trip; nothing.

Granted this isn't directly related to the article because this pertains more to a gluten sensitivity (which is a whole different can of worms) not celiac disease specifically.

Nevertheless I think it's interesting that often times it seems to deal with how the product is made.

I once read when researching the topic that a typical piece of bread (in the states) contains 100x more gluten than bread that was consumed in the 50's. This might be stretch, but with all the health oddities that have been surfacing it's certainly believable.
There are times when removing tonsils makes sense, but they used to removed almost as a matter of course from children.
This reminds me enormously of the simplest electronics project I ever put together: A Crystal Radio back in the '70s.
If you're not familiar with them, they're not much more than a coil and a "cat's-whisker" (diode) and they are powered by the radio-waves themselves.
Microbes cause ulcers, stomach cancers, etc, also, so common sense isn't so simple.
US too. I imagine better drugs have diminished the need for tonsilectomies.
Excellent comment, and I'm a fan of most of what Google does, as well.

But I cannot support Chromebooks with my consumer dollars. (Nor do I like their self-driving car project.) My fiance and I are both in IT security.

The way we see it is- if your PC data is stored "in the cloud" instead of on discs YOU own and control, you're vulnerable in many ways.

Network connectivity goes down for a period of time? Can't do your word processing! Ectetera, etcetera.

I use all kinds of Google web services (including Gmail and Google Docs). I sometimes develop websites for clients that are hosted on third party web servers. I integrate Dropbox with every device I own, and I love it.

But my local discs sync with Dropbox as much and as often as they can. And I would never put something I don't want people to see (pirated media, "sexy" photos of myself, etc.) into my Dropbox folder.

I use "cloud services" but I always back up my content to discs I OWN and CONTROL, and my private stuff never sees the Internet. If something is on a web server you don't own, always assume other people (even if only employees of the company that owns the web server) can see it.

And if network connectivity fails, even if only briefly, it shouldn't be able to stop you from accessing your everyday PC data and engaging in activities that shouldn't have to have Internet access to work.

Noooo... I'd never buy a Chromebook. And I normally love Google and I'm definitely a Linux geek.
Link for the gluten ratio? That only seems possible if older recipes were specifically removing a large macroscopic component of he grain.
A relative of mine thought she had a gluten intolerance - turned out it was something in enriched white flour. She can eat any kind of wheat product if it's made with home-ground flour.
70+ hours of real work per week is amazingly high levels of productivity. You are like a four weeks ahead of an ordinary office goer for every he week spends working at office. by this definition your quarterly work equals his yearly work.

You can conquer the world with such a effort.

Curious to know, how do you do it?

A site that sold t-shirts and the like which promoted the idea that disabled folks are sexy as hell.

Yes, I am serious. I would totally do that if I had any clue how to make it work.
Definitely top priority when they're still running Rails 2.3.
Note that tmobile is moving to a sales model where you pay the full cost of the phone up front (although they do allow explicit 20 month payment plans). The result is cheaper service since it doesn't include the hidden costs of recovering phone subsidies (approximately $20 per month).

This will mean that US consumers will be seeing the true hardware price for the first time, and be able to make value judgements. Of course everyone expects the whole thing will fail because Americans are used to cell phones being really cheap, and tmobile has to try to convince people by doing arithmetic on lifetime costs, which is a far harder (and more complicated) sell.

I'm extremely sceptical that consumers will pay more for Firefox phones than iPhone and top end Android. And I have no doubt they'd pick Firefox (or anyone else for that matter) for phones that are "free", $50 or similar amounts, but those phones won't exist on tmobile except for feature phones around the $150 mark. Given a choice between a $350 Firefox or Android phone it will be interesting to see what happens, and the consumer will have to strongly consider if they are getting that much value from their purchase.
Select "Show video info" after right clicking on any Youtube video.
A little surprised that this happened without a phone call first.

I think they broke it - right click the video & hit "show video info" and you'll see the debug information in the box in the top left. It now starts with "TagStreamPlayer."
Well I guess I am going to have to be that guy:

Does EVERY new feature released by github require an HN announcement? I mean I can see reasons for the big, useful stuff used by many people, but this is such a non-event I am having trouble understanding why it is here.
Why does it matter if they are on 2.3 or whatever if they can keep pushing the features? I don't care which Rails they are using ( provided they are secure, of course)

Now, why this is on HN, is a different question that is worthy of being asked.
Could have worked but sadly Youtube only streams videos under http. :(
The Tor anonymity router is run by volunteers like myself. I donate several megabyte a second of my bandwidth to relay data for people avoiding censorship and protecting their anonymity. By torrenting through the onion router, you not only waste mine, but three other nodes bandwidth. It causes unnecessary load and attention to the last (exit) router.

For every megabyte transferred over the network, at least 6 is used (in and out) to ensure that the connection is completely anonymous. It's a waste of my money if its being burnt by asshole pirates.

If you want to know more about what the router is, there's lots of technical information on the projects website[1].

Nope. It needs to hit a device to say Delivered.

For example, if the recipient is out of 3G data coverage but can fall back to SMS, you won't get Delivered, you'll get a line across your conversation denoting a switch to Text Message and a different color bubble.

(Several people I message are in marginal coverage areas several hours a day, so I get to see this in action daily.)
I get the feeling the author of that piece didn't quite understand what the "subsidy" represented, hence why the author didn't explain it very well. If I can sum up what you said these bigger banks get better credit ratings because rating agencies give them better ratings because of their size and perceived safety. Overtime these small changes give them an edge in lending rates.
Print money to fund productive activities, it's as simple as that.
