You will find that that is not actually true. You cannot opt to get certain communications via email, partly due to regulations and partly due to banks actually wanting people to read certain high-value communications. One type of many is the FCRA notification of adverse action taken in response to pulling a credit report.

It is the right call. Still, I have the nagging feeling that the reverse situation (import ban on old samsung phones) wouldn't have warranted a veto..
* not useful in github (simple page with some js extras on top, it's a prime job for jquery)

* for gmail you would use it to handle emails for example. Your view in gmail never changes, if you're looking at tags, or archive, or sent mails, or inbox, ... It's always the same thing, but the dataset changes; it comes from different sources, it is sorted and filtered different, ...

For a Gmail clone with angular, you do you app/html/css one time, and then you only ever manipulate your model, everything else is done for you. Want to filter email to only get those tagged "hacker news" ? Map reduce your email set then assign it to your model, that's it - no dom no event assign no view logic no nothing, only data.

Now, I'm pretty sure you read this and you think "but I could do the same with what I'm used to, just create a setEmailList(emails) function and use it", that is entirely true. Angular does not provide new functionnalities that you couldn't get otherwise. What angular provide is that

1 - it will be way faster to code than your "traditionnal" method once you're used to it, because angular does most of it for you, and

2 - large changes, special cases and thus evolution of the app are much easier to handle and code.

It provide those two things by being made explicitely for them. Angular is so tailored for that use case that it sucks and should never be used for anything else. Don't be fooled by all the hype into thinking every website should now use angular/ember/whatever, they shouldn't. It does only one kind of job, but it does it very, very well.
Seems fairly straightforward? There's a difference between naming a title after a line from a poem, and copying a title from another title. The former wouldn't cause any confusion, the latter would. Now if the poem was called "Things Fall Apart" instead of "The Second Coming," things have been different.
You can protect the title of your book, it's just that most authors don't.
Kind of, though Haskell's monads are much more specific than those of category theory.
Except that the ITC ruled that Samsung in fact did NOT fail its FRAND obligations. Please read the original ruling before spreading things that simply are not true.

On top of that, the ITC raised considerable doubt about whether or not the patent was even a SEP to begin with. Quite ironically, when Samsung submitted the patent in question to SETI because it "may" be essential, Apple itself argued that the patent was NOT essential (page 50 of the ITC ruling).

http://essentialpatentblog.com/2013/07/itc-releases-public-v...

This is a protectionist move by Obama, nothing more, nothing less. Had the tables been reversed - an ITC ban on a Samsung product with the exact same ruling - Obama would not have stepped in. Anyone who has read the ITC ruling knows what's really going on.
Agreed, but you do have to sift through a lot of noise; i.e. no shortage of X (maybe shady) provider giving deal of the month offers.

Then again, outside of WHT, where else can you find the colo provider gems? Certainly the best rates will be found there in my experience; if you're lucky, provider tech support will be excellent as well.

I was a bit confused by the title.

I thought it was going to be an implementation of AWK written in Haskell, but it's actually an AWK-like text-processing tool that uses Haskell as the language.

Not sure whether that's better or worse than traditional AWK. Haskell's certainly a well-respected language, but I found the examples in the README kind of confusing. I don't know much about Haskell in detail, so maybe that's just me, but it does suggest that this lacks some of AWK's readability for the uninitiated....
There is nothing hypocritical about what Apple said.

It is absolutely disgraceful for Samsung and Google (Motorola) to use FRAND patents as weapons. It undermines the entire standards process by encouraging companies not to put aside competitive agendas and work together for the benefit of all.

The average teacher salary in NJ is $63k. The national median earnings for a bachelors degree holder is $50k, and in NJ it's $60k: http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2012/10/15/ameri....

So yeah, I bet you can get tons of qualified bachelors degree holders to work for a salary that's higher than the average for their level of education, with superlative benefits compared to what is available in the private sector.

The national median income for a bachelors degree holder is $50k. Why aren't all those folks working construction instead?

No they don't. Outside programming, there are no jobs for people with biology or chemistry or math bachelors degrees.

What the hell are you on? $35k is a very good starting salary in most urban areas in the U.S. that aren't NYC or SF.

$45,000 in Chicago (a city with average CoL as far as urban areas in the U.S. go) is about $2,700 per month take home. A decent 1BR runs about $750 in a decent neighborhood. You can live very comfortably for that much. And people do--that's a very typical income for a college graduate professional in the city.

> The pigs in Orwell’s “Animal Farm” have more suavity than the US government is demonstrating now.

Amen to that.

To me it's amazing that in years past, spying on political opponents was enough to make a president resign, while apparently today spying on the world's population doesn't put heat on anyone.

Of course circumstances are different, now it's the state doing the spying, not a political party; yet one might wonder what's really different except for bipartisanship.

Deleting email can sometimes be construed as destruction of evidence.

From what I know, the way this is addressed is through policy. For example, company sets policy of retaining 3 months of email. Company follows this policy. Then, email that is deleted that is more than 3 months old, is not considered destruction of evidence.

Anyway, there's too much stuff that isn't spam but has only momentary utility to keep everything. For example, automated notices are usually very high volume and always no longer useful within 12 hours.

I would create a global mediator:

export var mediator = _.extend({}, Backbone.Events);

And then use it to listen to messages in Views:

m.mediator.on('change:page change:sort change:tags', this.renderTable, this);

And fire them from Models/Collections:

m.mediator.trigger('change:sort', sortOrder);

Instead of listening to changes on them:

this.paginator.bind('change', fn, this);

So I can plug & play different parts of the system together.

Seattle Recebe Conferência Sobre Infraestruturas Portuárias e Marítimas
You are absolutely right, your comment also kind of cracked me up a bit and I appreciate it. My strategy was very much spray and pray, throwing things against the wall to see what stuck.

I actually have been to Colombia, spending only 5 hours onshore and grateful for returning to the cruise ship safely.

I was just 17, and walking down the street a group of young, beautiful women approached me and started flirting and touching my arms etc...

For a second I thought "Hot damn, I'm the man here in Colombia, these girls love me" and then I realized they were prostitutes.
I started out dedicated, and switched to colo about 8 years ago.

Not that I really need colo, could easily go cloud, back to dedicated, or even dirt cheap with some shared hosting provider for hosting needs, but I've always liked having my own customized setup in colo.

Here's why:

1) $50 per 1U (power included)

2) /27 IP range

3) 250GB monthly bandwidth

4) 24/7 DC tech support

Pretty basic setup, couple of Dell R610s with gigabyte switch and Cisco ASA. VMware ESXi runs on top of the bare metal, so basically have my own VPS environment.

It's a nice break from coding to learn a bit about the systems admin side of the fence, I like it ;-)

Of course, the times they are a changing, at some point I'm going to need to go Cloud. For now pretty content though...
well professional engineers and technicians already have this

in the UK (engineering council)

"All professional engineers and technicians are bound by the Codes of Conduct of their professional engineering institutions. "

and in the US from the NSPE

Engineers, in the fulfillment of their professional duties, shall:

Hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public.
Perform services only in areas of their competence.
Issue public statements only in an objective and truthful manner.
Act for each employer or client as faithful agents or trustees.
Avoid deceptive acts.
Conduct themselves honorably, responsibly, ethically, and lawfully so as to enhance the honor, reputation, and usefulness of the profession.
Well, it they would do anything they should ban kids from having families, because that's where abuse happens most often.
As someone who made that choice a while back, I can understand your reasons. I was also familiar with Python from my projects at college and so Django was a natural choice for building a web app. But, I struggled with a lot of basics in Django and then switched to Rails. I can speak with confidence that Rails ecosystem is amazing and the learning curve is easier thanks to the bunch of tutorials and screencasts available.

Though, I hear that the beginner resources in Django have improved a lot lately. If that is the case, it should be an equally good choice.
I was also expecting something more Awk-ish than Haskell-ish, but this is still really cool.

IIRC in the EU Samsung was warned that if they tried to push for an import ban (like this one) with a FRAND patent they would be severely punished. America was the only place that allowed it.

Of course patent law over an international level is tricky with many things to consider, but it was a horrible decision to make.
Show HN: New Android app, paid and open source from the start
Here's the thing: Bradley Manning made a promise and signed a contract to protect classified information. He broke that promise and was found guilty. Unlike Snowden or Daniel Ellsberg, he was indiscriminate in his disclosure. He basically grabbed a bunch of secret stuff and mailed it to Wikileaks.

The computer fraud law may need changing, but using Manning instead of Swartz as the poster boy wins absolutely zero hearts and minds.
Well, sadly absent, sure. That was a tragic wartime clusterfuck -- but bad as it was, it was still a far cry from the current disappearing people (including citizens) and interning and torturing them for years on end. And the Japanese interment camps were later officially repudiated by the government, and reparations were paid to the victimized families in the Reagan era. Not that reparations are sufficient to make it right, but it it still qualitatively different than the current situation.

I'm not claiming that the USA unhypocritically perfectly adhered to its stated values in the past. We broke the law and tortured people in WWII, in Vietnam, and in the guerrilla wars of South America, too. But you had to do those things below the radar. There were eventually consequences, if it was found out.

Now the US government disappears its citizens, or kills them (and whatever men, women and children that happen to be nearby) right out in the open, and the President goes on TV to talk about what a weighty thing it is on his conscience for him to approve all these murder lists in advance.

It's true, as some point out, that unconstitutional, illegal, and immoral things have always been done by the US government (and pretty much any government). However, it seems to me a fundamentally different thing when it is done without even pretending to adhere to the law or the constitution, in any more meaningful way than Nixon's claim that "when the President does it, that means that it is not illegal"[1][2].

Said it true. Same sound in my Nexus 4.
At a much lower cost than an Apple system (which seems to be the standard for many developers) you can get significantly more power, along with a couple of drawbacks that may not matter depending on your situation.

The base model 17" laptop at 1499 includes a Haswell i7, a GTX765M, 8GB of ram, a 750GB HD, and a 1600x900 screen.

For 1399, you can get the 14" with a Haswell i7, a 1080p screen, 16GB Ram (Not sure if you can install 32 in this machine) and an Nvidia 750M (which will be the $2k+ Haswell rMBP's dGPU if it even has one.)

The RAM and HDD can easily be upgraded with 32GB and an SSD.

If the ultimate goal is as much power as possible, even this base model (Without any self-upgrades) is significantly better than a Maxed-out rMBP. In fact, it's significantly better than the next rMBP is going to be as well.

If you step it up to the next level, you get a 17" laptop with a 1080P screen, 16GB RAM, and one of the fastest mobile GPUs available, the GTX770M. It's $1900, but it's important to note that the GPU itself probably costs 500-600 dollars or more, and the i7, over 300.

If you throw in another 16GB Ram ($80) and an SSD ($160 for 240GB), you have a machine that makes the rMBP an embarassment at a much lower price $2140 VS $2799.

Please note that I'm speaking purely in terms of power. There are many other reasons that one might choose the rMBP. For example, I own an Alienware m17x r3 and now that I all of a sudden find myself traveling frequently, I wish I had a MBP instead. The Alienware weighs 10 lbs and it gets about an hour of battery life unless I disable the dGPU. It's also ugly, and it doesn't have a retina quality screen. Yet, if you don't stray to far from a power source, but still want the ability to move from room to room with your system, the Alienware is a great option.

I don't think it takes long exposure. Ground-based telescopes can make the simplifying assumption that they are looking at static point sources. That makes it easier to correct for camera movement and for optical defects from the lense and the atmosphere.

On the other hand, looking down is a bit easier than looking up because the atmosphere will converge rays looking down, but diverge them looking up. See http://what-if.xkcd.com/32/.

That site also claims that others say Hubble is about as good as the best spy satellites, resolution-wise.

Either you're trolling, or you are...very confused. Giving you the benefit of the doubt........

You're looking at a django project template which is based on Python, Django, Postgres, a traditional response cycle, and asking how to swap out every single component, leaving literally nothing of the original project. The answer to "how do I do it" is "by rewriting the entire thing, from scratch".

Worse, you say "the point is to be production ready", but what you're suggesting is to rewrite an app written on a very stable, very battle tested stack with one written in the latest hipster frameworks. For something like this project, BY DEFINITION what you're asking will make it less production ready. Even if we grant that MongoDB or NodeJS is useful for production in some circumstances (and in the case of MongoDB, that's actually an open question, but I digress), it ain't these.

There's a stereotype that the average HN commenter is obsessed with hipster technology like MongoDB and NodeJS, and wants to use them even when, as here, they aren't appropriate. In addition, the stereotype also holds that the same commenter is probably into bitcoins (which you mentioned), loves scaffolding tools like Yeoman (which you mentioned), and indigogo projects (which you also mentioned). All of this just screams "troll"; the only false note is your mention of NoFlo and the k-12 demographic; unless I've missed an influx of hipsters, tha's the one line in your post which doesn't sound like a parody of the stereotypical HN commenter.

So...yeah. If you're a troll, you're a good one. If you're being serious, you need to step away from the Kool-Aid because you honestly sound like a walking parody. The technologies you mention are not silver bullets, and in no way "production ready" compared to a traditional webapp. What you're asking about is both impossible and a terrible idea.

And that's why you're getting downvoted.
