It is for me a serious lesson on the power to deliver a product. A great combinaison between a quality product and a marketing speaking the same language than the product (so the future customers) and at the same time increasing its hypothetical value. There are many stuff to learn here I think.

How to Spot the Antares Launch from NASA Wallops on Wednesday
He's just posting his own stuff...a little too often I agree, but nothing out of ordinary here beyond that. It's not like he's the first on HN who's ever done that.
Two things..

The Allman's Fillmore album (iirc) was their first #1 album, released within weeks of Dwayne's death. That album more or less cemented their financial viability to this day.

Recording live shows was not the trivial matter back in the analog era that it is today. You basically needed a trucks worth of absurdly expensive and delicate equipment to be set up and torn down every night, whereas most bands that multitrack their shows today plug one cable into their digital soundboard and that's all there is to it. Also, Phish's isn't releasing multitracks on livephish, those are most likely 4 track blends of the stereo soundboard feed mixed with a pair of crowd mics.
I was with TekSavvy before I moved (2x25mbit mlppp). Everything was great, and there was even a promo for "no activation fees" when I signed up.

When I moved a year later, they told me I would have to pay that activation fee again, because Bell treats move orders like setting up a new customer, and thus they can't waive the fee. I ended up going with another ISP that had a similar promo.
A peer commentator already mentioned this. I already explained:

The solution is to provide sufficiently broad set of tightly integrated base system libraries; there are few, if any, duplicate dependencies across most applications.

-- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5567754

The advantage is that you have broad, comprehensive, consistent libraries that integrate with the base system, rather than a mash-up of inconsistent library interfaces and shell scripts -- for example, see how Linux distributions manage OpenSSL and certificate authorities, versus how OS X and Windows both integrate their crypto libraries into the system certificate stores and UIs.

> Once you start getting into live music more, everyone's studio albums sound bland

Speak for yourself. Some of us like the possibilities the recording studio yields as an instrument. And by "some of us" I mean "most of the music listening public".

Led Zeppelin, in particular, is well-known for their pioneering studio work. Most of Zeppelin's most famous songs are studio tricks. Stairway to Heaven--too many instruments to do with four people live. When the Levee breaks--tapes slowed down and run backwards. Achilles' Last Stand--a dozen or so overtracked guitars. Kashmir--the famous "hallway echo" on the drums with a phaser on top, multiple mellotrons, multi-tracked everything, &c. What's especially good about their studio albums is that they sound natural and alive, but this was another studio trick by splicing together the freshest takes, inventing new natural-sounding mic setups, etc.

They were also known for lazy, lackluster live performances, especially as Page and Bonham sunk deeper into substance abuse. So that's a very strange example. I don't really like the implied attitude that live music is best, and we are required to like it over "bland" studio music, and it's strange that you picked the most un-bland studio band since The Beatles.

AFAIK Internet is unregulated here. The CRTC is [basically] run by Bell & Rogers, they seem to do what they want. When one has a deal, the other shortly follows - when you cancel with one you're stuck going to the other.

As long as they each gain the customers the other loses, they win.
If nothing else, they have a hypothesis to test in the next experiment.

Even when possible to isolate and remove ancillary changes to improve split test purity, it's often not beneficial. If there's a significant number of changes, achieving statistical significance across the full matrix probably isn't even possible.

But that's ok, because limiting changes to a single test queue restricts your ability to move fast and try lots of stuff, which is beneficial. So when you test, try cheap multivariate methods (there's a bunch!) to quickly understand how interactions between multiple changes affect results.
Quote: ' Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter explained that electronic dance music is having an "identity crisis." He says "It's not moving one inch." '

I don't think this is fair on electronic dance music at all. sure, if you look in the top 10 singles, it might be quite same-y, but if you branch out into the albums and the world of the sub-genres of electronic dance music, you find a world rich with imagination and experimentation:

VNV Nation's album "Automatic" took the futurepop genre and incorporated elements from steam punk and art deco type themes. Whilst still recognisably them, it was a significant break from their previous work.

On that theme, steampunk is breaking through, sometimes closer to dark cabaret, other times mixing in diesel/valvepunk elements and turning to the electronic dance scene.

Mind.In.A.Box - whilst perhaps THE canonical example of robotic voices in the modern electronic dance scene, they experiment with bringing back the prog - the epic story telling and experimentation.

Numerous bands are trying to find a middle ground between hardcore and industrial/futurepop, perhaps most notably Uberbyte. Their latest album, Five Year Plan, divided critics and fans alike by experimenting across many genres and styles.

The irony, however, is that the more things change, the more things stay the same. Listen to Utah Saint's first two albums, and you'll hear them creating glitch and futurepop, well before those genres really came into being. A lot of modern dubstep/brostep would actually fit nicely in the middle of a mid-90s Jungle set.

So in this respect, Daft Punk are /exactly/ like Apple - merging the best of what has been proven to work (rather than truly innovating), and creating a highly polished product that's finally ready for the masses.

It's the same thing on ancient microcomputers: As far as I know, the C64's ROM-based OS doesn't care about the date at all, but various application software likely did, and would probably get very confused at two-digit years which began with a first digit less than 7.

Better investment than Bitcoins?
Title is a bit naughty yes, but you have to admit, you're glad you clicked! ;)
I don't know what to think about the "hack-back" controversy.

On the one hand, the idea that there could ever be federal authorization for "hacking back" at any target is preposterous. The result would be chaos. Attackers would almost certainly invest effort in tricking the service providers dumb enough to do it into striking innocent networks, or, better yet, into striking out at other providers who themselves would launch "hack-back" efforts --- you know, this is starting to sound awesome --- and in reality no company with a lawyer on staff, retainer, or in the phone book would ever allow their team to do such a thing, CISPA or no CISPA.

On the other hand, if just one company is dumb enough to misread the law as providing authorization and tort immunity from running attack code on their imagined attackers, that's probably a very good reason to amend the bill.
As mentioned, I only just now read the bill, and you appear to be much more educated on it than I, and from reading your comments, you seem very even-keeled on your defense of the bill. I am generally supportive of the purpose and goals of the bill.

It's been hard for me to get clarification on what some of the vagueries and broad language of the bill could actually mean legally due to most articles I read having a strong bias one way or the other.

I'm supportive of information sharing in order to combat and better protect against cyber threats, but if that information sharing is covered by a liability shield (which it almost certainly has to be), it seems like even a benevolent company may err on the side of sharing more information than needed with the government.

As the bill details little about oversight of who gets access to the data and how it will be used, a skeptical and cynical look at this information being in the hands of the government could suggest that this information would be used for profiling or information gathering on US citizens.

I think the broader argument could be "what expectation of privacy do we have on the internet?". I'm not sure where I fall on that issue, but I do wish it was clearer, not necessarily for me, but moreso for folks like my parents that don't truly understand what it means to send information across the internet (encrypted or unencrypted).
I should be specific. I never use the built in Django views. I'm sure they're great but I don't like that much magic and I moved to class based views later in a project.. those seems easier in a clean-room build.

I do, however use class based views that I've built myself. We extend them and add mixins and I much prefer all of this to the decorator soup that is the alternative.
Given that you are running a security company, in that respect you have personal interest in this bill getting passed, right?

The problems with the bill are mainly this:

1. The immunity gives companies an incentive to share more data.

2. There is neither oversight nor transparency for the sharing of information and other measures companies are allowed to take based on this bill, and what the government and third parties are allowed to do with the information.

3. Even if there were oversight, the conditions under which the companies would get immunity are so broad and ill defined that there is practically no restriction on that.

I would like to add that there are people who make hysterical arguments against the bill, but that doesn't mean that the bill isn't bad.
If by SAS you mean SSH, then really it's that there's a much smaller client surface area (really, openssh), and the fallback is always "use a PKCS#8 private key", which is much more uniform than SSL. SSL mixes in x509, and protocol, and UX.

That said, you don't have to agree with it. My macro point was really assessing these things against basic security threat modeling, not whether or not you agree with our choices of using SSH.

> It would take that thing 20 minutes just to load Ghostbusters. That in no way could be considered working better than today's computers/consoles.

The solution to this is simple: Pick some arbitrary point in the past, and declare that every feature which became common after that point is 'bloat' that 'nobody really needs'. Obviously, a good program doesn't have bloat, and a good system can't be expected to run well unless it is given good programs, so all good systems run well, which means better than anything that will run bloat.

South is pretty obtuse to learn and definitely has it's warts and issues, which Andrew seems well aware of and wants to fix so check out the kickstarter link below!

That said, our project has over three hundred tables, a couple thousand migrations, and I've been very happy with it compared to the systems I've rolled myself in the past. I'm certainly unaware of an alternative that holds a candle to it, assuming Django's ORM.

Yeah, that's part of it. More specifically, their success seems wholly random to your garden variety analyst.
I came to Django & South after using ActiveRecord and Rails migrations for years, and it drove me nuts. Not trying to cause a big argument, but why the big push in the Python community to model database tables via object properties/fields? I seem to recall SqlAlchemy does something similar.

I'll try it again at home on the machine + mouse set up I use when playing starcraft 2 and hope that I get at least a few years younger.
Why Entrepreneurs Hate Working at Big Companies
Specifically for me, pipeline fits into django's collectstatic way of doing things. And because of this it works fantastically with django-storages as well. My projects are set up so that `python manage.py collectstatic` trawls all my apps static folders, compiles everything if required (r.js, sass) and uploads any changes to an S3 bucket. And in development it compiles over the wire (except r.js, we let requirejs do the async loading thing in development).

With respect to "3d-ness", which presumably means the various cues your brain uses to determine depth (stereoscopy, focal length, vergence, texture variance, etc), there is no difference between an image through a mirror, vs an image with no mirror.
Seems like, in many cases, the number of colorblind people is higher than the numer of people using IE6. Would be a better use of resources to accommodate them than it would be to accommodate IE6 customers.

Of course, some colorblind people also use IE6, so there's overlap there, but is still rather code for colorblind people than IE6.
This is very common place and I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

What is unacceptable though is deliberately trashing your opponents.
I use aggregation queries regularly and it's amazing. My MongoDB database has 4k ops/sec and I run an aggregation query to count averages, sums, and splits on a name (to get averages and sums for each of two dozen groups) for about 10K rows every 5 minutes. Not a huge amount, but this is on a db that is performing a ton of work. Also, I should mention that you should probably run your aggregation queries on your secondaries.

» The secret to a sharing business.. Disruption
I don't use fish for shell scripting, but I'm enjoying it as my primary environment after making these adjustments..

Status codes and argument lists:

$status # replaces $?
$argv # replaces $@

Aliases are just functions (configure your startup in
~/.config/fish/config.fish):

# alias ls="ls -lrth"
function lr; ls -lrth $argv; end

For-loops are familiar:

# for n in one two three; do echo $n; done
for n in one two three; echo $n; end

The lack of '!$' confounded my hard-wired fingers until I settled on Alt-u to avoid up-arrows (see /usr/share/fish/functions/fish_default_key_bindings.fish):

bind \eu history-token-search-backward # replaces !$
bind \ei history-token-search-forward # bonus fun

The remaining price for fish's pseudo-telepathic assistance is the occasional frustration with applications that rely on the value of a user's default shell (/etc/passwd).

Ah, if something's particularly specific to a directory subtree, rather than a particular context/task, I'll drop it in the tree sometimes, for sure. But my contexts very much correspond to what I'm actually doing (and my prompt includes the session), and so ~/.context/$SESSION/bin is "a place that corresponds to what [I'm] actually doing".
