There's a great Drucker quote here:

> The greatest of modern economists, the late Joseph A. Schumpeter, labored mightily for twenty-five years to find the “cycle.” But at best, his “business cycle” is the result of so many different cyclical movements that it can only be analyzed in retrospect. And a business-cycle analysis that only tells where the cycle has been but not where it will go, is of little use in managing a business.

Basically, let's all stop laboring over whether there is a bubble or not, no one can predict it.

But, let me ask you something: Would HN become what it has become without a strict dictator?
Thanks for the clarifications. :)

(It's hard to humbly offer suggestions online...)

> FWIW, if you had quoted the line you were commenting on it would have been unambiguously clear to me that the OP had taken your advice and corrected whatever he original wrote.

Good point. I usually do this, but will try to always do so as it helps with the clarity.

Nah, I think this is how Google is trying to make it less visible how they rank and what people search for. If you consider how Bing is gaining ground and that Yahoo may be inclined to build their own search engine and that such competitors can legitimately get Google based data from other sources easily by buying it, you'll want to hold your trade secrets close to the chest.
Wow, thanks for the clarification!

Third announcement has got to be a controller of some type. The O + O probably = dual analog sticks and a d pad, or some other dual-thumb input controls. There's no way Valve is going to announce a living room platform and then give away the most visible part (the controller) to Microsoft's wired Xbox 360 controller (currently the standard bearer for PC controllers despite being from a console).
What precise purpose do pets serve in their 'normal' capacities, if not 'emotional support'? I'm not necessarily saying such a thing is beyond the pale as a support animal, but that this use is contiguous enough with "pets" as to draw into question the validity of a threshold.
There is no way they would 'port' away from Java. JetBrains has been building this platform for more than a decade. This is what has allowed them to support many operating systems concurrently and with great results. No need for the FUD on Java. Java is really what they excel at.
Somehow this feels like going backwards and just ignoring ignorance. Fire-with-fire I suppose.
I don't understand your point.

The ability to comment is provided along with the method of voting them up/down and hiding them.

Do you really think that forcing a G+ account to comment will make things better?

I had a similar thought when our local paper started using Facebook accounts for comments. My thought, "If people use their real names ..."

It didn't happen.

Stupid people will post stupid things. It's up to those who want valuable comments to weed through them.

I couldn't agree more. I don't want to know about how awesome the author is or how he's cunningly outsmarted everybody else. I'd like to see his ideas put forward without trashing other people's and with some theoretical context rather than just denunciations of PL theory.

It could be that YouTube videos are the cesspool of the internet and that adding google+ to them isn't a solution to this, just an excuse to try and increase the adoption of google+.

There isn't anything wrong with thinking that YouTube comments are often terrible while also disliking that google is trying to push their own social integration into all of the their services.

It is in fact up to me when I'm giving my opinion on an open forum. You also seem to have completely missed the point. I never intended to defend the Delta employees. All I said was that this woman (as well as the commentor) come off as whiny to me. You are free to disagree, and you are also free to cut the holier than though attitude. Some people are just whiners and enjoy feeling victimized.

As for the logical definition of a "spec," you are welcome to find any inconsistencies or imprecisions in the Nock axioms. Actually someone reported a (cosmetic) bug in the Nock spec this morning, which is quite cool.

There's a very important point in that Nock can specify not what a computer computes - but what it has computed, if it terminates. In general, practical systems have to interrupt long-running computations, so they must always compute some subset of that definition. But it can be, and is, a strict subset. I find this a meaningful and accurate statement.

Sorry, I didn't mean "PL theory" as scare quotes - I just didn't want to exclude anyone for whom the term doesn't instantly bring to mind a body of work.

The truth, though, is that the "PL theory" we have is just one theory of programming. It's a convention, it's not a piece of reality like pi. Church-Turing equivalence tells us that we have infinitely many such representations.

Eg, the Turing Machine is equivalent in power to lambda, but much less useful as a programming framework. My feeling is that, as a programming model, lambda suffers from the fact that it was originally designed, by mathematicians, to do mathematics.

Just from a UI basis, programmers are not mathematicians. The skill is very similar, but mathematicians work best in geometric and logical abstractions, whereas programmers are more comfortable with mechanical representations.

For instance, the general lambda approach is to represent data as code (Church numerals), a very sensible approach from the math side, whereas the Nock approach is to represent code as data - which feels more natural to the programmer.

So, nothing can tarnish the very powerful and elegant model of computing that is "PL theory." But it is not "the" theory of computing - just one of infinitely many possible theories.

It bugs me that it's often the poor that want free markets and cheer most for it, and shun co-op stores. The system is betraying them, they should just get away from it and focus on positive systems like co-op self-sustaining communities.

Newer batches of Dell monitors at our workplace have a brown tint that one can't get rid of. The new REV A00 is noticeably different to old A04 or so. Quick googling revealed that warranty won't cover that, as Dell's calibration policy is quite loose. Tough luck. Otherwise they're great.

What people are upset is that Google siphons majority of commercial web-traffic and denies anyone else access. This kills small companies.
This is a known problem. The multiple undo actions per single 'u' command bug has been fixed recently. The updated version of IdeaVim will be released soon. We have been working on making IdeaVim more stable, see the changelog https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim/blob/master/CHANGES.md.

There doesn't appear to be a .zip version. They have zip versions of the Intellij so they may add it if you do a feature request. The installer only requires admin to install to the Program Files. If you say no, it installs to your local user location (in Roaming).
I'm not sure if there's data to back it, but my guess would be that critical success correlates to a longer, slower run-out of money, as opposed to box-office returns.
Would be an interesting analysis.
Nice! Have a blast!
There are many valid reasons to criticize Google, from their massive contribution to the destruction of online privacy to the Kenya scam, but ruining lives because they make it harder to game their engine? Give me a break.
As for the type inference, you don't need unification to do type inference. Hoon infers only forward, not backward. Of course you could say it's a subset of unification, as it is.

I find Hindley-Milner inference systems too powerful. The programmer has to model what the inference system is doing in his or her head, and it's a source of significant cognitive load. Hoon's inference algorithm is slightly too smart in some cases, and requires slightly too much typing in others, but I think it's generally well matched to human capacities - especially for those of us who are not natural mathematicians.
They are not selecting targets autonomously; they're just following a particular target the person shooting them wants dead.
I read the "unlikely" as sarcasm implying that the events were potentially quite likely, particularly given the structuring of the contract.
Well it's about damn time - pretty much all of our planes are capable of faster maneuvers without the pilot inside.

This would make old planes useable on the battlefield again (recon, escort, decoys, you name it)... oh how useless the F35 program will be :-)...

* The worst thing about all this icon frenzy to me is that they often even take up more space than text that could descripe their function. *

That highly depends on the language that you're using... Having localized our app into 16 different languages I've found that there are many languages where the text simply does not fit into the allotted space. In those cases I think using icons are a lot more effective than a bunch of ellipsized text.
And yet, it is in the Google books database. And in some weird and twisted way, Googe is not allowed to give you access to it. So we have exactly the situation where the rights holder chooses 'no' revenue over 'some' revenue which is incredibly counter intuitive to me.
Step 2 is really the unique part here -- what you need to do is to figure out who you want before you can figure out how to communicate with them. The oldest adage in the book about speechcraft is "know your audience" but it really applies to any sort of communication, even 1:1 ping-type emails. Can't emphasize enough how much you need to introspect within your org to figure out who you're looking for if you have any chance of convincing someone that they are who you're looking for.
You should.

But there is also column selection mode.
It has been occurring for a long time. F-4s have been in use as remote controlled target drones for live fire exercises for quite a while.
I don't think anyone's arguing about fairness. The idea of copyright is that it's suppose to allow us to enjoy more artistic works by incentivising artists. The degree to which it's successful in doing that compared to the degree to which it actually hampers the availability and diversity of content is measurable. And once we measure it, we can set the period non-arbitrarily. That the original purpose of copyright has been largely subverted doesn't mean we can't reestablish it in a principled way.

Basically, NIST seems to be reasoning that because Keccack's sponge construction has no internal resistance to meet-in-the-middle attacks, the collision and preimage resistances are the same.

An upper bound on the security of Keccack is set by the expression

c + r = 1600.

'c' represents the internal bandwidth of the hash that is not directly controllable by an attacker.

'r' is the rate (bits per expensive f() function invocation) at which the message input can be processed.

Due to some basic and well-understood attacks, we know that Keccak cannot be more secure than c/2 bits.

NIST was planning to assign SHA-3-256 and SHA-3-512 having 128 and 256 bits of security respectively. On one hand, this sounds like a nice conservative overall security rating based on the (lower) collision resistance.

But NIST plans to re-tune these internal constants downwards, setting c to 256 or 512. Whereas the competition final round submission specified c = 448 and 1024 bits. The resulting speed boost is 24% and 89%.

I don't think anyone should presume ill intent here on the part of NIST. But it sure doesn't seem like a good time to propose cutting security margins down to the limit of publicly-known attacks. The idea of a hash function which outputs 256 bits having only 128 bits of preimage resistance is unprecedented.

>... but those "next" steps are there because there is important information there.

The OSX ecosystem would generally care to differ with you there, where the standard installation process is to drag a .app slightly to the right in the dmg that auto-mounts and auto-opens and shows you exactly what to do. Then you run it if you feel like it. Or even run it right from that window, it usually works, and quite a few applications will even detect it and offer to move themselves to your applications folder.

Contrast this with a very common Windows install, which is run -> tell where to extract -> skip welcome screen -> uncheck shortcuts and start menu -> install -> uncheck 'run now' and 'show readme' -> click 'finish'.

Sometimes there is important information in those steps. Very frequently there is not, and it's just a waste of time, and an annoyance. Just like the 'welcome' screen in those installers. Nearly all of that could have been done in one page, instead it's split into several, literally training people to just keep hitting next.

What? Nothing could be further from the truth.
It takes just as many people to fly a robo-F16 as it does to fly a manned F16. Only difference is that the pilot is on the ground instead of in the air.

Also the unmanned F16 provides 0 advantages over a purpose built UAV (plus is bigger, slower, and more expensive), I highly doubt anybody would seriously consider these for warfare applications.

It's cool tech, take it at face value.
Google has pulled the fake iMessage app from the Play Store
Very nice. It's awfully similar to Droid Sans, but the slightly lower x-height, and more more "playful" elements (like the gap in the lowercase 'g', the curve at the bottom of the lowercase 'l') make it bit more playful and legible. Above all, it feels more balanced, and accomplished, than Droid Sans.

Excellent work.

> Arbitrary claims without evidence. Accusations of drinking the kool-aid. Pandering.

This is such a frustrating mindset to argue with. Multiple people have already explained that wikipedia entries are often a very relevant result to return. Just to hammer in the point, a cursory search using Google's keyword tool shows that the term "new computer" has almost 4x the CPC and competitiveness of "computer". The former returns dell as its first organic result.

You say that this is just a bad example. Pray, then, what is a good example? If you're going to make outrageous claims, you should support them with evidence.

Of course google is optimizing for long term revenue. But the argument that it's sabotaging its other products to create more demand for adwords is an absurd notion.

I wonder if this is governmental pressure or merely "ran out of money"/normal commercial concerns.
I guess I haven't considered restrictions on the machines where the modules are required. So there's definitely a reason for things making their way in to stdlib in those situations. (I wish the virtualenv stuff was packaged as part of core Python, to be honest...but that's a discussion for another time.)

My concern is the frustration (which may not be the right term) of having to continually bring things out of core, implement improvements, and then feed them back in to core. All the while being concerned with impact your changes may have on the entire ecosystem.

All-in-all, maybe it's just moot. This could probably just be chalked up to the ebb-and-flow of software development as a whole.
That's a good point, although I would say that part of the intent in writing this was to rebuke people on Twitter who are just saying things like "iOS 7 is stupid" or "Apple ruined the interface". I don't think that just being vitriolic and hating is very constructive. I wanted to point out that there are channels that Apple makes available to give feedback and that it's possible to be constructive through these. Of course, if Apple were to more proactively monitor Twitter and engage with customers there, I think everyone would benefit :)
The under pinnings of iOS7 are great (from a developer standpoint), but this release honestly doesn't feel like an Apple product. I have the iPhone 4 and Instagram's filters are cut off on the bottom and the photo/video frame is also mis-aligned.

I feel like any other company could have come out with this release and it would have been met with far less analytical criticism. Why is there so much analysis on v.1 of a their new UI?
I think it's kind of useless even today without the controller very close by - flying a supersonic jet capable of 9G maneuvers remotely is way harder than a slow drone.

The only way to do it well right now would be to have one human piloted jet (preferably with 2 pilots) as the wing leader and the autopilot ones following it and executing commands issued by those pilots.
misleading title, though it is a nice little bow to wrap around the idea.

Branding is one. They can't use a typeface another commercial OS used.

Also type designers keep making new fonts with tiny differences from older fonts because the older fonts were already used a lot and don't look fresh.

Just like programmers make new frameworks/libraries and using those is the cool thing to do.
Ah. Better drink more coffee I guess...
I'm not even sure this post is in english, or the point you're trying to make, but for the record, the word "computer" has a CPC about 1/4 that of "new computer".
The more I think about it the more I really like the whole "Jets" concept (although I'm not sold on the name, I'd love to learn that it's a known concept in the PL field with a nicer name). I'd like to see how such an approach would work out for optimizing something more "fundamental" like the Binary Lambda Calculus.

Shrug; you're talking about reverse engineering hardware implementation from the details of the transferred data. Source access is hardly required for that, and the Nouveau driver we're talking about is an existence proof. And in any case all modern GPU manufacturers except NVIDIA ship GPL kernel modules and aren't leaking "proprietary IP" to each other. This isn't an issue of secret sauce in the kernel, sorry. NVIDIA just don't want to spend the effort to conform to someone else's architecture.
Take a second read. It's talking about the currencies themselves not the underlying economic power of the country. An ambiguous title to be sure but it's not exactly a dense article.
