Every time I read one of these articles which go into great depth about tricks, systems or processes for dealing with email I'm left feeling amazingly glad that I don't have this problem.

My work email inbox receives about ~10 emails a day. Of which maybe 2 will need a response from me.

I use (and love) gmail's new primary / social / updates / etc setup. I read everything (~5 a day) that comes into my primary inbox and reply to the few which need it. The other folders I read the ones which look interesting and let the others stay unread.
Thanks! That's exactly the thinking behind the potentially upcoming pro version, once we'd see that there's basic interest.
Yeah, I failed there. The whole article started out jokey but I ended up cramming a bunch more "serious" analysis in.
Vehicle sensing systems mean the basic assumption of light timing no longer holds: when you get to the light can affect how long you have to wait.
It's good to have competition. Modern open source keeps Microsoft awake. At the same time Microsoft has a lot of structure to offer to enterprise and millions of mainstream developers.
If you have 100 servers, $1k/month to monitor all of them is likely a drop in the budget bucket.
It is the fast lane in California. According to the California Driver Handbook, the left lane is known as the "fast" lane (p32). They suggest if there are three lanes to use the left lane to drive faster, pass, or turn left. They also say "Do not drive slowly in the left (fast) lane." (p64)

I get that bit, I am just amazed that you can sabotage your own civil legislature that easily.
I often find myself putting together custom solutions on a fairly ad-hoc basis. Sometimes it's python and postgis, sometimes it's node and redis or perhaps rails and mongodb. Sometimes it's all my code, sometimes I'm just bundling together third part code with some glue. Sometimes it's something that needs to run for a couple of weeks, sometimes it's something that needs to run for 5 years.

I haven't looked too closely at either Docker or this, but having a quick and easy way to deploy all these applications without having to worry too much about the details sounds fairly awesome to me.
Typical of a lot of the the writing/journalism crowd, they want to belittle people and make them social outcasts they were in high school again. Cannot bear the fact that those 'nerds' are now enormously successful, both financially and in their personal life.

The writer's jealousy just shows through in this. "The enormous features that read so well in photos looked cartoonish in person: Chiclet teeth, rubbery grin, duck-feathery hair."

Yeah, if it had been a slam poet, how much are we betting the writer would have said something like "Wavy hair, dreamy eyes, and delicate-boned face"?

"Then again, I am only 1 potential customer and perhaps I'm just not your demographic so good luck!"

I agree, and I don't think it's just that we're no in target demographic. Being bombarded with the search links is simply a bad way for just about anyone to write. Writing requires focus and discipline. Clicking on search links that pop up in your writing tool is almost certain to be counter-productive.

I understand the search link frame can be turned off. Not sure what in the product is supposed to be especially useful other than that. As others have said, it does appear to be slick. I'm just not sure how that helps when basic premise is misdirected. Maybe makes things worse; seduces someone into wasting time with counter-productive tool. God knows there've been plenty of nice-looking but counterproductive software tools in the past and will be more in the future. People at beginning say "Looks cool!" and then scrap it after trying to actually use it.
Try 1981.

I use Evernote, but even there often the bullet points get out of sync and you have to manually realign everything. Evernote is fantastic, but there are certain things I don't understand why it lacks (LaTeX support and superscript/subscript would be another).

IOS 7: How to Search for Text on a Page in Safari
Mine when locked has a small touch section labeled 'emergency call'. I assume it goes through to 911 (or relevant number). I'm tempted to press it but it's not an emergency.
I assumed most phones had something similar.

Edit:
I went to it. I leads to a special dialer. Instead of voicemail the button leads to a special emergency contact (or list). It only shows 4 inputs on top so I am guessing that is the limit so you can't dial anything but emergency services (that are 4 numbers or shorter). Then it goes back to my lock screen.

Fake unlock was slow and unreliable when it first came out 2 years ago but is pretty darn good nowadays, and just as fast as TouchID. No, it doesn't work in pitch dark or if you're wearing sunglasses. But I'll take "works 90% of the time" over an unlock feature that requires a hardware component that pretty much locks you into 1 form factor.
Right. Also, no matter how cheap memory is, you run into limits of things like maximum RAM capacity. I'm there now... I have 8GB of RAM in this laptop, and that's all it can hold. I can't spend more money to put more RAM in here even if I want too, as it just won't take it. I'd love to go up to 16GB, but that won't happen until I buy a whole new machine.

Needless to say, I'm very happy about this firefox news. AS somebody who routinely runs a lot of apps (and more than a few memory hungry ones) I want every app to be a freaking memory frugal as it possibly can, and be a good citizen when RAM has to be shared between apps.

Playing the whole "Unused RAM is wasted, take up as much RAM as you can" mindset is fine if you only run one app at a time, but, really, who the f%!# actually does that???
You had to have an actual server providing services for that domain as well - and back then, that meant at least one physical machine per domain.
As I said: some existing plans don't meet the requirements of the new law, and are being discontinued. It doesn't matter if I think your one cherry-picked example is fake, because, again, some plans are being discontinued.

The stopping distance of my car (a Lexus IS300) at 70mph is 171 feet. So I know I need over 14 car lengths in front of me for me not to hit anyone with brakes at full power.

Do I actually leave that much space in front of me every time I drive 70mph? Hell no. But the slower the cars beside me are going, the quicker i'm going to hit one if it pulls in front of me. If they were going 70mph too, I would only have to brake down to, say, 65mph, which would should only take a second. But if they're going 10mph, I now have to come to an almost complete stop to prevent from hitting them, which as you can see above is a lot of car lengths.
This is the legislature sabotaging themselves. They set a deadline for themselves, and then as the deadline approaches they try to use it as political leverage and go through standard varieties of political posturing, e.g. "The other party would rather let the government shut down than pass our bill!"

Plan to throw one away: it's easier than finally throwing your first one away after it goes flakey. Works for code, works for writing. Writing it the second time is quicker than the first time, and the result is almost invariably better (and oftern shorter).
You can always just use a PIN to unlock. It's probably safe to assume that Apple has thought this through (no need to remind me of the supposed chaos break-in).
I came here to say this. Brevity is not the goal. Mindless brevity destroys context. Concision is the goal. Bake the context into your prose.

Some people will skim and get the information. Some people will read and get entertainment. Some people want the details, because they need a deeper understanding. Some people want a high level overview, because they already understand things and just want the information.

It's not supposed to happen, but the trend in America seems to be leaning towards hyper-majorities where bipartisan cooperation is the exception rather than the rule.

Gerrymandering is used to effectively destroy any semblance of political competition -- congressional representatives can safely rely on a guaranteed re-election which results in them never having to work with "the other side."

This results in political platforms built on hatred and fear, "See! We hate them as much as you do!" and so forth. Obstructionism and other forms of political football are the basis of our legislature. It's really sad because we end up measuring our success by how much we're destroying the other party's accomplishments rather than celebrating our own.

It's new in iOS 7. You'll have to explicitly wipe & reset your iPhone before selling it from now on.

Not to mention, by the time I am looking at the phone, I want it already unlocked. Sometimes I want it unlocked in my pocket (Siri?). TouchID allows me to do that. Face unlock does not.

>CPython 2 and CPython 3. If you want to support both, you face all kinds of hurdles, much like cross-browser JS programming. Does this mess badly reflect on the language itself? Hell yeah.

I don't think that it's at all the same as the current JS problems. Most Python devs (myself included) are sticking to the newer 2x releases because

- things work perfectly well in 2x
- 2x is still actively developed
- we can pull down 3x behavior from 'future' when wanted
- no one is putting a gun to heads to make people upgrade
- python isn't client side. if you can't make up your mind or ship correctly, that's on you, the dev

Which is to say, I don't see how this reflects poorly on the language. If a developer feels that he needs to support Cpython 2 and 3, that's his own deal because he could pick one and bundle his application appropriately.

Now for JS, you don't really get a say as a front-end dev because the client is in charge of what interpreter he brings to the table. You don't get a say, unless you know what browsers you can get away with targeting (e.g. ie6 users aren't likely to be shopping for the latest android device).

They have all the essential features of passwords, they are just weak passwords.

Fingerprints can't be changed if compromised, and so they don't have the essential features of passwords.

There is a difference between a weak password and not-a-password.
Which part? The 80+ hour a week part, or the wanting people with family part? I think the OP's point was that killing yourself at a startup is a young person's game, and he still wants to hire people more experienced people with families who are looking for ~40 hours. That would unusual in many startups, so I think it is worth mentioning. How would you say it better?
"What happens when your prints are duped once?"

Most of us don't live in a James Bond movie.

(1) If someone has my fingerprints they still need my phone to do anything.

(2) Even with my phone there's a good chance it's worthless unless they also have my pin.

(3) Stealing my phone has also become worth much less unless you have my prints and the followthrough to make fake ones and again they'll want my pin in most cases because you only get 5 failed attempts with your fake prints.

(4) All of that takes time, during which I may be able to remote wipe my phone, making the whole exercise worth even less. And it takes money, again lowering potential returns.

It's easy to imagine (numbers pulled out of ass) that a thief could get a few hundred bucks for a 5C (no touch id) but say half that for the more expensive 5S. Maybe that won't hold up for various reasons (hey thieves will work hard to make those stolen 5s's worth more) but the principle behind multi-factor is sound.

Ask HN: A Survey of Your Musical Life
Hi everyone,

As is commonplace here I'm sure, market research is an important part of the decision to dive into a startup idea or not.

For many months now I've been busily researching and designing the foundations of a business and an accompanying suite of services and apps that I hope will become a new and vital tool for the music industry and it's participants. From artists, fans, and venues to management, promoters, and patrons of the arts, I hope to strengthen and catalyze the business and creative ecosystem from the inside out in ways that no one has done before. The help and opinions of the members of HN are greatly appreciated and valued.

The following Survey of Your Musical Life will ask you general questions about who you are, what your listening habits are, and what social media you use. From there it asks specific questions tailored to how you participate in the music industry (performing artist, fan, management, promoter, patron etc.). The survey is a bit long, but one person as described it as "pleasantly introspective" already so perhaps it will be a nice journey for you!

Anyone can take the survey so please share it freely. As a token of my gratitude, upon completion you can provide your email address to become a beta tester after we launch, subscribe to product updates (no spam, I promise), or even enter in a random drawing for $50!

So please give about 25 minutes of your time to support me and entrepreneurship in the arts. I think we all agree that the industry needs it.

With much gratitude,

Brian Clements

The point the parent is making is that you shouldn't be able to buy content with a fingerprint.
I've tested this theory and others on my commute. Whether I speed up and never let anyone in (nearly impossible since someone won't care and will merge knowing you'll most likely not hit them) or keep a good 7-10 car distance, it doesn't matter. My commute on the freeway with either of these two ways or on side streets is always 45 minutes +/- 1 minute.

The difference is I'm using less gas and putting less wear on my clutch, brakes, etc. by leaving a big gap between myself and the cars in front of me.

Furthermore I find that my demeanor is much more calm and relaxed when I leave a big gap because I'm not tensing up to avoid rear ending someone every time I stop.
- A finger print is something you are.
(1) who owns this content?

(2) can this be exported?

That sort of confuses me even more. It isn't the sort of thing you would want to develop into a tactic, it just seems risky as hell.

> I haven't used face unlock

Face unlock is very fast - generally I turn device towards me to start using it and face unlock has unlocked it before I even realise it was locked (less than half a second).

When it fails to recognise you, you can enter a pin/password/pattern. There is a menu option to 'Improve Matches' so it can pick up whatever is different this time. Every release has improved dramatically. After my most recent Android reinstall I recall only ever improving matches once.

It doesn't work in low light which fingerprints will.
