Supposedly LinkedIn has a karma system where you will be punished for anyone not accepting your requests.

You may end up banned from making future requests, although that might come as a relief and it sounds like LinkedIn might be BSing there given that combine that with support for mailing >1k people at once.

> I understand what a pointer is, but it's entirely possible that I still don't grok Go.

I don't know about you, but I understand pointers from C, and then learning assembly. Go's behavior isn't different from C here.

Also, elsewhere you are discussing pass by value/pass by reference. Technically, C/Go/Java are pass by value. Passing pointers and de-referencing it is how pass-by-ref is emulated. You will notice that the top comment has qualified pass-by-reference with "passing pointers". That is colloquial terminology.

The dot indicates division of something into smaller parts. For most things we choose our range for the minor denomination to coincide with our base or a multiple thereof like having 100 cents in a dollar, but software being what it is we need to be slightly more flexible.
Until the SEO optimizers and bot nets themselves start bookmarking their own spammy noise in this cache too. Then we're back to the usual arms race of trying to identify quality content and providers pointing to other quality content and providers while all the junk vendors are trying to masquerade as quality.
Who's the registered agent? CT or someone else? I ask because I just want to make sure that I have full portability if needed down the road. If it's CT, I imagine that handover process is easy enough; if not, might be a bit harder.

Since both founders are living in NY we would have to file in both states and it would be much more expensive. Also, we would have to periodically show some transactions being made in DE to justify our existence there.

How is this true? OP is saying devs should dump their app into memory and that devs need to adapt to OP's limitless RAM.
They use server side encryption to store documents on Amazon S3. This doesn't do much because the data is transparently decrypted when it's accessed (note: yes, it does require their aws account access keys).
Point well taken, we'll work on that!
no. when number of open tabs < 10-20, yes sure, but when that number reaches 100, your doing it all wrong. Its not about how much memory it consumes, that's irrelevant, if you need more memory just go to crucial.com, it's dirt cheap. Its about using the tools properly.
AWS has always been better in terms of features, and I've never found fault in Amazon's relentless work to improve even further. They really seem fearless in this regard.

However, their customer support has always been, at least in my experience, indifferent at best. It's often better to have a sherpa like EngineYard to help you through trouble spots.
There is no abstract "government" doing it. It is the work of people who do not want new housing to be built for some reasons. They probably have lots of influence in local governments.

Local governments are small and arguably inefficient, it is easy for special interests such as homeowners to influence them. But there is a long tradition of local government in US and they have real power. The solution here would be for higher-level (state) government to intervene, keeping in mind interests of all state residents and not only homeowners.

There are some serious problems with this claim:

1. "In total, Jamie Wallis at Cardiff University and a few buddies received 628 stone fragments collected from rice fields in the region. However, they were able to clearly identify only three as possible meteorites."

In other words, the researchers weren't in on the collection activity, and may not possess the expertise to distinguish meteoritic material from ordinary earthly rocks (that determination is not easy).

2. "One stone, for example, had a density of less than 1 gram per cubic centimetre, less than all known carbonaceous meteorites."

And it didn't occur to these people that it wasn't a meteorite? Low-density meteors don't normally get to the ground -- they are much more likely to vaporize in the atmosphere. A low-density sample like this is immediately suspect.

Conclusion: Three identifications out of 628 samples, one of the three is not likely to be a real meteorite, terrestrial contamination cannot really be ruled out, and this work is neither refereed AFAIK nor published in a normal scientific journal. I call shenanigans.

We've never had to show transactions in Delaware.
The $99 annual fee is to pay for the services of someone who acts as the company's registered agent in Delaware, as required by Delaware law.

Delaware and nearly every other state require that a company designate a person or company resident in that state to receive certain correspondence from the state and to receive service of process if the company is sued. This person is usually called a "registered agent", "statutory agent" or "agent for service of process".
There is no evidence that chrome tracks you anymore than FF with google as search engine. My gripe is that the article is all about "feelings" and makes claims without backing them up.
Rule 1: Make sure your linkedin password is not the same as your gmail password. I've tried to login to linkedin a couple of times in too much of a hurry, thinking I was logging into linkedin from some request and not reading the actual page. Luckily my passwords are different.

I'd have to say I'm not sure how someone who is tech savvy can knowingly give a company their gmail account info and expect nothing bad to happen. I only connect with people I know on Linkedin (and generally on g+), so I've never wanted to let them use my gmail info. If you willingly let Linkedin scan your gmail, I'm not sure what you would expect to happen, other than it inviting everyone on your contacts list, just like it says it will.

I'm not exactly a fan of Linkedin, but handing out any credentials to a website you aren't absolutely certain about seems a little naive. Also he admits he pushed the 'connect' button, which is clearly going to connect you to someone. I can see asking Linkedin to put a bigger warning or something, but knowingly giving them your info and hitting connect without scrolling down isn't the act of innocence professed here.

Post should be titled "Be careful giving information to websites".
Re: Web applications in python - I am curious about the overall feeling for them - Do you write web apps in python because rapid development makes up for any performance problems and if you run into problems you would rewrite it in something faster, or do you feel like a python web app can be just as good as alternatives when it comes to speed?

Put another way - when you think of python for web applications / services - do you think rapid development and speed, or just rapid development and you would go somewhere else for speed?

there isn't a strict limit, its just not a viable use case for current browsers.

Maybe what we need is Chrome/FF to consider the very high tab count as a use case and handle it better, when you have so many tabs it's not easy to find the 1 in 100 that you're looking for, we would need a new find tool, possible the browser should build a client side tf/idf index and make the whole working set (workspace) searchable. You see what I mean? Until the browser changes to support this usecase, the usage will be klunky and fraught with problems.

Most people in the States have whatever their computer came with. Even computers with user-serviceable RAM can usually only address twice as much RAM as the machine came with. So, if last generation's hardware comes with nMB RAM, and this generation's comes with 2nMB RAM, owners of last generation's hardware can usually only upgrade their RAM once.

It's a bit silly, because RAM and storage seem to be the only things most people need more of on a daily basis. I suspect 5 year old CPUs would meet most people's needs just fine.
From this website, I can't figure out what this is supposed to be doing at all.

On a slightly unrelated point, how do you guys deal with liability issues? If someone inputs data correctly, and then for some reason, your system fails to correctly provide the data to the relevant registry, then I imagine a client might be a little upset, when obviously your terms and conditions limit liability to fees paid.

If I had arranged for a firm to do it, I could take action against them with the knowledge that they have a hefty insurance policy.

I appreciate that in the above scenario is highly likely to arise but wondered if you had given any thought to it? Perhaps the whole process is completely automated so forms are populated using user info (actually I suspect this is highly likely!).

I'm not intending to take anything away from this type of service by the way! On the contrary, I think it's great to bring disruption to traditional firms who charge large amounts for relatively simple documentation.
I would suggest that if the White House was really concerned that these police officers had violated the Constitution, that the President should order the National Guards to arrest the officers involved (including their supervisors all the way to the chief of police for failure to properly supervise) and deliver them to a Federal Grand Jury and charge them with sedition against the United States. Then other police officers around the country would think twice before violating the law.

Right now they're just washing their hands of their responsibility and essentially saying that the US constitution is not law.

Bad bad tptacek. I'm surprised by your comment. Initially I though, this guy has to be a newbie, we discuss this kinds of things all the time here, which is one of the main reasons I come to this place.

Hacker News is notorious for loving this kind of stuff so I'm not so sure why something like this is not relevant. Specially since Obama and Holder have many times not been on the same side as us. i.e. copyright, Is kind of surprising to see them protecting civil liberties when lately I've felt they have not been doing a very good job.
Social networking sites in general only grow through this type of spamming. Facebook was one of the worst offenders in its early days - Hotmail even blocked their invite messages for a substantial period of time. It is no coincidence that many of the sites that use the contact-list/auto-invite feature most aggressively have grown the fastest. Although we might find it objectionable, apparently most users either don't object to it or don't realize that it even happened (my guess would be that hundreds of millions of FB/LI users fall into the latter category).
No, actually I didn't.

In my experience, "those people" are indistinguishable from "people who have the same skin colour as me" after a generation or two.

Oh, and here a some studies with, you know, numbers and statistics that bear that out:

Migrant birthrates falling in Germany, study finds -- http://www.thelocal.de/society/20100811-29073.html

What he said does make sense. Your numbers are incomplete. You're saying "All firearm deaths" which include drive-by's, hunting accidents, etc. If you can't break down the numbers to ONLY those children who died from a gun that was stored in their own house and children who died in a pool in their own back yard, then you aren't making valid assessments of the multiple at all.

It's simple math.
This sounds pretty interesting. Can you elaborate?

What about, say, questioning evolution though? Or vaccines?

Most people questioning those topics aren't questioning them because of genuine curiosity--at least if they're college educated or equivalent. Instead it's as part, conscious or not, of a planned campaign of misinformation.

Saying someone is unscientific is, in that context, more of a statement of being actively anti-scientific, not science-resistant.

The 1% fallacy
If hogging lots of RAM makes my program legitimately run better, then that's what it should do! Chrome runs a process per domain (or something like that) for security and stability reasons. That adds a lot of overhead for lots of tabs. But that's OK because there's actually a reason for using all that RAM.
I feel you have been given some misinformation. Most aquatic mammals evolved from land based mammals, but the fishes have been evolving from fishes for as long as we have a fossil record for. The Osteichthyes or bony fished (Tuna, Salmon) evolved from Chondrichthyes cartilaginous fishes(Sharks, Rays), but none of these evolved from land based animals.

I'd point a finger not at LNKD but at GOOG for not having better a better security impl in gmail. If anyone can send an email that requires just one click in it to peruse and use your contacts list, that is a bug. Any 3rd party should need to formally request access to resources like a contacts list, and the user should be clearly prompted by the GOOG platform to approve/deny the request.
This is more complicated (and perhaps already on your maybe-someday radar), but it'd be nice if you had a package of docs/services that's usually adequate to convert another corporation (non-C-corp or non-Delaware) to the VC-and-finance-preferred Delaware C-Corp. And in preparation for that, perhaps some tips on what not to do if you ever think you'll want to become a Delaware C-Corp

I can't argue the position for this workflow better than I already have. I refute the idea that I'm "doing it all wrong". No, I'm not and this was the only efficient way to get what I needed to do done.

My laptop's motherboard can't handle more than 8GB, so I don't even have the option of putting more RAM in it as it already has 8GB. Also, I shouldn't have to keep throwing in memory to handle applications whose coders feel it is fine and dandy to gobble memory with reckless abandon. Why should I bear the financial cost of a poorly designed application?

I'm most certainly using my tools properly whether you agree or not. I'm not bitching about 5,000 tabs causing excessive memory usage, I'm complaining about 100 which is not that many during research that requires going from page to page, or opening lots of links without having to remember where I was at in each part of my stack; I've got less working memory than my computer!
They are actually using meaningful numbers. 1.x generally describes maturity. More so it means the software toolkit is, for the most part, stable and ready for the real world. Since version numbering in the closed source world generally helps sell products it's nice to see an open source project act as it should where the first number after the point increments as features are added and the second number with an optional second point reflects bug fixes and patches. It's a big deal when a version hits 1.x. A project like node.js doesn't have to pander to the masses like mozilla did with the firefox so called pseudo psychological numbering scheme.
The same graph could be shown for AIDS instead of depression, and the same conclusion could be reached with the same line of logic.

My feeling is that the author doesn't consider depression a medical condition. I'm not sure if I disagree, but I just thought it would be worth bringing up the point since many people have different views on what "Depression" is.
Now, if we could get these connected to Google Glass…
Google lives and die by its ability to deliver eyeballs and credit cards to advertisers, nothing else. Never forget that. That they want to "help the web" or "help the internet" is only a strategic play to help their primary objective.
You will never lose your list. If you store multiple sets of tabs, they will appear as "tab groups" in OneTab.

> I'll just point out that evolution has multiple meanings and I think that it's obvious from context that in this case I'm using 'evolved' as shorthand for more intelligent/advanced/sophisticated.

Yes, but that's not what evolution means. Natural selection chooses the fittest genotype, not the "more advanced". The idea that evolution progresses from simple to complex is a myth -- a persistent myth, but a myth nevertheless.

Evolution isn't a program with a specific outcome, it's a blind algorithm that chooses the fittest genotype at every turn. If the "fittest" genotype is a cockroach, for example after a nuclear war, that's the outcome. Evolution doesn't care about our tastes because nature doesn't care about our tastes.

And in that sense, I thought it was brilliant.

People in the skeptic community tend to diminish the fact that fellow humans tend to have involuntary emotional reactions in response to arguments, no matter how good the arguments are. If someone is heavily invested in believing in something like homeopathic medicine, they will experience a strong visceral feeling when you try to discuss homeopathy in a scientific setting. Even if they don't want to, the feeling may be there.

I'm not sure what the immediate practical or ethical implications of this are. I don't believe it's right to entertain any irrational or harmful belief just because it brings someone else comfort, but I tend to be less confrontational than Sam Harris.
