> There is a massive difference. Other people can make use of funds deposited in accounts. This is why banks take in deposits, to lend it out at a higher rate and pocket the spread."

Only because of fractional reserve banking. Absent fractional reserve banking, if I 'lend' something to another party but reserve the right to demand it back at any time, then there is simply no way that they can "use" what I have lent them. They can't use the money while still honouring my right to demand the money back at any time.

So "money" which can be demanded back at any time has he same status as money kept under the mattress - it can't be profitably "used" by anyone.

The important point about "investment" is that the money trully is "tied up" - if only for a day. The shorter the term, the more like "cash" it is.

> Highly likely you agree with Krugman. I think he speaks out of his hat. We'll leave it at that.

You're right I do agree with Krugman (for the most part). I've been reading his blog since 2007 and you know what, he's been right in his predictions pretty much the whole time!

If you think Krugman is speaking out of his hat, who do you recommend instead?
Haven't heard much from Armadillo Aerospace in a while. Are they still active?
Nerf or something
I get what you're saying in that it can be used for something currently, but the opportunity being missed here is enormous. When Gmail launched with 1GB of storage when everyone else was doing 5mb, this was a pretty massive cost at the time. However, it was one of the best things Google ever did as it kick-started their entire online application business.

Google has a similar possibility here - they can really take over the webapp hosting environment and create massive ease of use and integration for their various web platforms and APIs by making it easy to integrate them into AppEngine. The requirement for this is massive adoption, and the requirement for massive adoption is, at the very least, providing similar cost/performance as a random dedicated host. AppEngine/Google compute engine are barely competitive with other very expensive, high margin services such as AWS. Google is missing out massively here because they want to squeeze out traffic penalties with a terrible business model that gives users across the web a nice error message.

They've at least had the sense to be guilty enough to remove their branding from the error page though.
Just store the key code and a locksmith can cut to code.

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

Lets say you have a classic 60s/70s-ish minicomputer collection and you need a key for the rack mount door. Assuming no one swapped it out, every PDP-8 ever shipped was locked with a "ACE XX2247 tubular key". And no I'm not making this up.

After more than a decade of starting my car, my key physically began to wear out and I had to have another key cut to code, which the stealership had on file for me. The wear on the key was pretty surprising. It was expensive, but because I was expecting to have to replace the much more expensive locking mechanism I was relieved to only be out $15 or whatever it was for a dealer made key.

Also anyone who's ever replaced a lockset at home, probably noticed that the keycode is usually written on the outside packaging, so you can buy 3 locks where any key works in any lock, without having to cut any extra keys or special order.

I have three keypad locks on my three house doors, so I don't use keys at home, and the stereotypical NFC card at work, so I only use keys in my cars ignition. This is likely the biggest future problem for this business.
The Chromebook pixel has a 12.85", 2560 × 1700 resolution, which is 3:2.

Sadly Lenovo appear to want to destroy the Think brand, and they're really the only other laptop that would have used a similar display.

Exotic features like swivelling a display to be portrait rather than landscape add a lot of cost to the product, and are rare.

I bought The Whole Internet User's Guide & Catalog in early 1994. I had an account at NERDC, a 9600 baud Intel modem, and connection time was $0.01/minute. One month my bill was over $20.00.

That's a lot of Gopher and Usenet.
A lot of the comments in that thread mentioned previous examples of people being damaged from false accusations in the media. I don't think looking at the released pictures itself is a bad thing and I don't think the HN community was involved in whatever hunting happened that the article alludes to.
Are that engines reusable in a short time? or must they go through a mayor refurbishment after each flight?
Depends what you mean by "killed" but your submission won't be accepted if there is already a duplicate one with the same url.
HN isn't just for totally new things. Lots of people wouldn't be aware of the existing stuff you mention.

So what if you and a bunch of other people have been long familiar with similar stuff? When you say it "isn't that interesting" you're just saying that it isn't that interesting for _you_.

[EDIT: "When you say" -> "When you say it"]
FYI, Schlissel is "Key" in German (and Yiddish).

It seems like the name Shloosl inspired by it.
It's OK for them to want links removed. It's entirely beyond the pail to be able to enforce removal at lawyer-point just because it's damaging their SEO. Why should their SEO efforts be protected by law from random passers-by? The law isn't there to protect their profits.

This is true. We should be working on children being able to be autonomous in longer streaks; on children being able to resolve part of their needs via telecommunications (cellphone is already a huge saver); on children being able to use help of "an adult" (as opposed to "the adult", that is parent) - like a slightly supervised playground.
I think GP is really asking "Why do people find this interesting?"
This sounds extremely complicated compared to the somewhat more realistic "throw the jewelry in the toolbox and walk out" or the "unlock a window" approach. The most realistic approach is to lie to the customer... "well, we need to special order a left handed crescent wrench and some frequency grease and also do some mold abatement". This is before we get started with outright insurance fraud and the like.

It could happen, but it sounds a lot more like a hollywood movie plot security threat than a real security threat.
To the witchunters of Hacker News.
I get it. I really do. You all wanted to be involved and our over developed senses of ego have been feeding our desire to do more and more. I'm guilty too. I think I know more than I do. But lets clear something up once and for all folks. This is not a jury. We are not a court room. Most importantly we are not judges.

There is a reason for government. I know we all cringe at the word (well some of us do, not all), but it is an important facility. One of it's most important duties is to stop witch hunts. It really is there to prosecute people like the Boston bombers.

These sort of witch hunts can stick with someone for the rest of their lives. You can really mess someone up. They see that THEY were a suspect when all they did was go to cheer on their friend/family and that can destroy someone.

I'm ashamed of our community as a whole for this witch hunt. I'm ashamed of 4Chan for blogging about it. I'm ashamed of myself for not being able to do more to stop it. I left reddit because I didn't want to be part of this sort of "news"... is this really where we want HN to go?

P.S. I realize not everyone was involved, but this is a reflection on our community as a whole, and as such we are all responsible. And this also shows that in some cases a downvote for everyone may actually improve HN...
Well, it explains why we invaded Iraq after the fact.

If a mere pipe bomb or IED is considered WMD, then Iraq was FULL of them. Chemical or biological weapons, not so much.
In a sane market, people would learn not to preorder after something like that.

I've got a boss, when he's talking something up, every other word out of his mouth is "fuck".

It's not abusive, but it isn't useful. Extolling the virtues of a product by saying "it's fucking awesome" doesn't tell me anything about that product or why it's so fucking awesome or why I should be so excited about it.

Reddit is the unfiltered internet. I don't go there to get trustworthy news. The problem is any news source that quotes straight from Reddit - they should know better, and verify any leads before reporting.

The internet is raw, and people need to put their critical thinking hats on when digesting unfiltered data, speculation, and analysis.

I go to a gym that's 24 hours.

I see alot of comments for starting strength. It's popular if you go to reddit/r/fitness. I don't really happen to like it that much if your starting out on your own. If you have a partner I think its a great work out.

In my opinion, if you're working out at home I'd just buy 2 kettlebells and work out with those instead.

As for my work out it's always anchored by one of the big 3 lifts( squat, deadlift, and bench, though I never do barbell bench anymore I use dumbells).

I then follow up with one of planks, dips and pull ups, followed by 20 minutes of streching and cardio.
Some marketing firm did a study on a client's website where they found that popups increased signups by a substantial amount. Unfortunately, that client was an Internet marketing blog primarily visited by aspiring marketers who've been told that popups increase signups by every popular Internet marketing blogger.

The author of the submission probably reads one or more of those blogs. A study outside that toxic echo chamber probably wouldn't get the same good results.
I figured it out fairly quickly but apparently some people do not, so it may be of marginal value but I don't begrudge pg for trying it. If on the other hand if he made it hard to create a new user account that would be very bad for HN.
i saw this as a little kid with my dad as a slide show at a planetarium...(omnisphere in wichita, ks)

as a kid, it was ok, but slightly boring until the very end, when after minutes of complete darkness very bright lights came and the planetarium stars went spinning ... it made the whole room seem to spin.

i remembered it all that time, but could never discover who wrote it...

so, thanks.
It's entirely beyond the pail [sic] to be able to enforce removal

It's beyond the pale (as in the paling fence surrounding a town, the pale of settlement, etc...).
Ugh, I hate people using the word "cunt" willy-nilly. It's the one word we have left that will still make people flinch and has any force left in it, but many people using it for ordinary situations are making sure that doesn't stay that way.

I like a language to have a swearword that gives people an emotional response. Something that you can use and people can say "oh shit, the other guy is fucked now". The nuclear bomb of swearwords.

The only word that approaches that that's left in English is "cunt", but that's also quickly losing its power. The word "nigger" is also supremely powerful (I bet you flinched when you read it, and I'm dreading the consequences this comment will have while I'm writing it), but it's completely useless for universal swearing due to its racial implications, and also completely useless in general due to the fact that racism is fucking retarded and doesn't even make any sense.

So, please don't overuse "cunt".

Excuse my French.
Same with me, it showed 91 EUR but when I created account and login it was 110 EUR. The reason is the taxes (VAT), herein EU. Probably, it's the same reason in US
I think if you read through the comments you'll see a LOT of witch hunting. Yes there were comments in there about how this kind of behavior was bad, but it isn't something that I want to see on the front page.

I mean seriously... the front page of hacker news? I don't remember if it got to #1, but looking at it and up-voting it are two different things. We don't need that kind of smut here.
Awesome, thanks! I appreciate it.
"Have them require ID to pick up the key."

This is also known as registered mail. The killer problem is the post office is 10x as inconvenient as just going across the street to the hardware store.
Shopzilla just wants the links removed. This method has probably worked for them. They don't care if HN's never ending stream of daily outrage focuses on them for a short time (before moving on to a new thing to be outraged about tomorrow). They just want the links removed.

I'm not defending them. I'm just trying to make sense out of it.
guys,

congratulations for those who succeeded on buying. Remember: this is a developer preview phone. Firefox OS is not ready yet. Expect updates and bugs at this stage. I have two keons and they are pretty good but the system still in flux and not all APIs are implemented yet.

ps: I am a Mozilla Rep working with Firefox OS awareness.
Maybe it was a twix duo. Can we have a followup post?
Your comment made me laugh. As a Brit, my reaction to that word depends on context, it will jar me if I'm not expecting to hear it, e.g. from someone I'm not familiar enough with, but it definitely gets thrown around a lot impunity too.
Slightly related (if you hold your head at the right angle) is the (commercial) platform called NetKernel. It brings URIs into conventional programming scenarios, presenting something like a RESTful programming language. (Whatever that might mean...)

I haven't done anything with it, but I find it fascinating just to read the documentation:

http://docs.netkernel.org/book/view/book:quickstart/doc:quic...
The pace of progress seems to have been faster than even SpaceX anticipated. Within the next year we'll see very significant tests of core components of the system and flight profile (for the first stage at least).

The very next Falcon 9 flight (out of Vandenberg) will use the performance overhead provided by the v1.1 upgrade to do a controlled reentry of the 1st stage and then after it has reached terminal velocity it will slow down to a hover out over some remote part of the ocean, then splash down. This is a good and cheap test of a huge part of the flight profile. Meanwhile, the Grasshopper 2 will be more of a full-up Falcon 9 (v1.1) first stage, with 9 engines and will include retractable landing gear. Instead of testing controlled hovering and precision landing it'll go up to supersonic speeds and potentially up to 90km altitude. Essentially testing the return to launch site flight profile in a more realistic setting with more realistic hardware.

And then if that proves fruitful they will essentially just stick that hardware into the Falcon 9 stack and do a full up orbital launch with a flyback 1st stage. Possibly within the next few years even. If that works it'll be rather amazing, since much of the cost of a launch is in the manufacture of those 9 engines on that first stage. Even if a reusable stage costs 3x as much as a regular stage and halves the payload capacity if they can get just 6 flights out of each one it'll break even, and if the numbers are more favorable they'll drop the floor out of the orbital launch market and then own it, to the tune of tens of billions of dollars a year in revenue (a feat they are already on their way to doing with their current lineup of rockets). Perhaps more profoundly it'll hasten the day when it will be conceivable to use kickstarter to fund an interplanetary science mission.
In Ireland (where I live), swearing in front of someone generally means you regard them as an equal. It's like calling someone "dude"

As the OP, I would argue that your metaphor actually does match well how delegation works not only in the real world, but also in JS.

For example, if I'm given a task by my boss, and he says "just make sure it gets done", I'll have a set of materials, say the specifications for a task, or an email thread discussing it, or something like that. When I decide to "delegate" it to another person on the team, I'm not going to expect that person to start from scratch... I'm going to hand them the "context" for them to tackle the task in. I'm going to say: "here's what you need to get started, go do it."

Metaphors are never perfect, by definition. But I take that perspective on your metaphor, and on JS's behavior delegation, and I think it fits decently.
The number of subscribers seems to be a total apples to oranges comparison, given the extremely different channels Netflix and HBO get customers.

If I could pay Netflix prices for HBO Go, I would do it in a heartbeat. But there's no way I'm going to buy a TV and pay +$100/month for cable to become an HBO subscriber.

Because of their different business models, you'd think that the only metric they should be measured on is revenue vs. revenue. To compare subscribers seems like sensationalism and poor logic.

First, a "witch hunt" is the search for witchcraft or some other non-existent force/person etc. Searching for a bombing suspect is not a witch hunt since a bombing suspect was truly on the loose with additional bombs and some type of plan to use them.

Second, the images reddit had were not the most up to date images possible. Had the bars uploaded their video, it is likely that reddit would have found the bombers the first night. They simply didn't have videos and photos that were up to date enough.

Third, the FBI had a press release around 2:00 Thursday saying they had identified the suspects and would release their images at 5:00 Thursday. (leaks were coming out earlier saying they had identified them as early as Friday morning).

Now, I understand that the FBI was probably following up on leads to locate them. But, they were not able to find them and while they were looking, the public was in grave danger.

I understand it is not good to name suspects on a public forum where we do not have enough evidence and I'm sure I would have been stressed had I been named, but the finger should be pointed at the police and we should start working toward better systems for law enforcement.

Those men planed on killing more people and could have carried out the second attack while the FBI was not releasing their identity. It is simply unacceptable that it took over 3 days to locate them in the video. I'm not saying reddit should be the system, but they need a better system to sort and analyze digital images and video.

The apology should come from the FBI.
This is not the only school that Joan and Irwin Jacobs have given to:

And in 1997, the School went through a final name change when QUALCOMM founder and former UCSD engineering professor Irwin Jacobs and his wife Joan Jacobs provided a $15 million endowment for the [UC San Diego School of Engineering], leading to the current name in their honor. The couple later added to the endowment in 2003 with a $110 million gift for scholarships, fellowships, and faculty support.[1]

UC San Diego is certainly not an elites-only institution. The Jacobs family has been very generous to many institutions, and I'm glad to see them helping Cornell NYC get off the ground.

He doesn't really cite or give evidence of any American research about profanity in the work place. The first link is to an interview with "Vistage speaker, Craig Weber" which credits authorship to Vistage and Weber consulting. It's an opinion piece.

The second link is to a study that consisted of surveying 30 men and 30 women about the efficacy of speeches given to basketball teams by a coach. The speeches were fictional and some included profanity and some did not. Apparently the 30 men had a tendency to rate the speeches with profanity (if they thought the audience was women) as less effective. That's it. It had nothing to do with the workplace or the language used by employees or even team mates.

It's primary focus and a lot of the research that study cites has to do with gender roles and profanity. Not really anything to do with what role profanity plays in the work place.

It does cite a Dutch study that found profanity makes witnesses more believable in legal proceedings. But again - not really anything about the work place.

The English research is a single paper that used case studies. I'm not paying to find out the details but the fact that their press release for the study says, "Prof Baruch said their aim was to challenge leadership styles and suggest ideas for best practice." makes me wonder about the value. That, to me, sounds like they went into the study with a desired outcome.

I'm sympathetic with the article from a common sense approach but I think that dressing any of it up as being based on science is a bit of a reach.

American in the UK.

I've had sexual harassment training in the US, and a lot of standards are different between the two countries.

At least 5 things happen at work every day, that if they happened at one of the companies I worked for in the US, the people involved would be brought to HR.

I find workmates in the UK to be more matey at work, where as in the US, you are co-workers at work, and mates only when you leave work.
In part 2, which should be published later today, I am going to address "polymorphism" directly, and the punchline is that I'm going to argue that JS doesn't have a good "OO" way of doing relative super calls, and thus you should try to avoid polymorphism. The workaround is indeed an implicit mixin, where you do "ParentConstructor.prototype.method.call(this)", but even though that "works", it's brittle to be hard-wiring your "inheritance" chain across all your polymorphic overridden methods.
