Sorry, but, what the fuck are you talking about?

Do you know the amount of the universities that you can study for free?

Dozens.

and I mean: no fee at all. I studied in three of them. And one of them was a great university with a lot of foreign students. Teachers were quite good. And I was also served high quality food (much better than the garbage you pay for every day) for free, every morning, noon and evening.

Open your eyes bro. Not so many people are able to pay thousands to the schools. And my point here is to tell your kind of god damn middle class; start considering everybody.

Don't be one of those fucking selfish dicks.
I fail to see what this has to do with HN. A celebration made up by a bunch of self-contradicting folks?

They have 4 hours, using emergency funds appropriated for exactly this situation, to prepare the agency to be shuddered for an unknown amount of time. They have to make backups, close out current time sensitive issues, fill out paperwork about what went wrong with the plan so people can recover if someone else has to do it.
In India and China, most people ride mopeds, so the Yamaha could well fit the bill.

> Jenkins is an extremely low bar to jump.

I'm pretty fond of Bamboo's default (only?) theme [1].

Although the focus on building Java software is undeniable, we build a bunch of C# projects on it just fine (with its built-in MSBuild and MSTest tasks).

Bamboo 5 brings "deployment projects" [2] which makes CI just that little bit easier.

I've also used Hudson (ages ago: prior to it being forked) and although it's not a fair comparison, Bamboo is miles ahead.

Damned impressive and I can imagine how chocking it can be.
In old times we had necrology announcements in newspaper.
Family would publish an announcement and people would read the necrology. The locality property of the information would make it some how work.

But today with the so powerful communication means we have, there is no excuse that people can't be informed of such major events.

It looks like there is a missing Internet service there. I don't think this should be charged, so I don't expect the opportunity for a big business there and a so called startup.

But there there is definitely a need there and Internet solidarity or ISPs service should probably be the way to go to offer such type of service.

Probably country administrations could be involved as well because we want to be sure there won't be fake death announcements.
As someone who doesn't know the structure of the output, what's the significance of:

At the start of each output? Is that 'lol' encrypted then followed by random bytes, or does it contain header information?
Image quality is not about mega pixels.

The 1020 uses silicon and software to compensate for the physical limitations of a short focal length and small aperture. Instead, a huge sensor captures many more pixels than you need, and then software algorithms distil this down to a five-megapixel image of great richness and detail.

The sensor is 41 megapixels, creating as a first step a 34 megapixel image; the other pixels being put to good use interpolating the image. For a technical explanation, see [1]. The phone actually keeps a master copy of the image at full resolution, and presents the five-megapixel image to you right away for editing and sharing.

I have a Win 8 tablet and the app store is a complete joke. I don't think the "use the browser" argument really holds any water. Lots of UX features are only really available when you go the native route, i.e the new "picture in picture" feature in the Android Youtube app.

If you want to persuade people of the benefits of direct democracy, you probably don't want to bring up the California initiative system as an example. Ballot initiative's in California are part of the reason the state's government is so disfunctional, and they've ended up that way because they're such a bad version of direct democracy. Ballot initiatives just involve an up-or-down vote on specific issues in isolation, without involving the population directly in the responsibilities of day-to-day governing, so, as in California, you get an incoherent patchwork of spending commitments and limits on tax increases. A better example of direct democracy might be something like participatory budgeting. I see there's a plan to test this out in San Francisco [1], although the SF plan doesn't seem to involve the public deliberation that participatory budgeting in Brazil involved, which may make it exhibit the same problems as ballot initiatives.

I opted to use TeamCity for all my CI exactly because of the UI. It's not perfect either, but I think it is vastly superior. Bigger install, though and relies on a JVM.
I guess, London is the tech centre of Europe.
> Oh, you thought high tech isn't a product of a planned state-controlled economy?

It isn't. The government is one actor, and certainly has many contributions - the Internet is a big, obvious one - but there are certainly a lot of private actors that count for something too. Apple, IBM, and Microsoft come to mind. So "product of a planned state-controlled economy" is what I would call either "science fiction" or "wildly inaccurate", just as I would say that "high-tech is entirely the result of the free market" lunacy as well.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001C6MQA8/?tag=dedasys-20 is a good book to read for some of the history of Silicon Valley. Private companies figure prominently in it.

> Presumably you don't think modern science is a "big ugly mess"

Actually, my wife does research at a university, and I very much do think there is a lot of messiness in science, and think it likely that it's vastly underfunded - in part due to the fact that it's difficult to bring market mechanisms into play for things like basic research.
I find Jenkins UI too cluttered with a lot of stuff being hidden by default behind the "Advanced" buttons. So I stopped using Jenkins UI and migrate all my job definitions to YAML file in my source code repo. I use OpenStack Jenkins-job-builder to generate job.

Here is the list of different tools, that can be used to automate Jenkins: https://gist.github.com/lechat/6666099
Software can probably solve many issues here, like calibrating the devices and processing informations to give scientists meaningful metrics. It may also help fixing or at least detect erroneous data. Great hardware needs to be designed in pair with the software.

Also, just software can help. Now there are iOS apps to count cells by just taking pictures, while labs paid (and still pay) fortunes to get machines/software for that.
Nope. In the former speaker's own words...

Money Transfer Services: Getting Fast Access to Your Cash Overseas
When I started PlainSite (http://ww.plainsite.org), my friends and I talked about how cool it would be--given the country's current state of affairs where money trumps all else--to allow people to donate small amounts toward a specific cause, and then allocate funding to politicians based on their willingness to forward the cause, as a kind of uber-lobbyist responsive to the people.

Unfortunately, that would constitute money transmission. So I kept working on the parts of PlainSite that didn't involve that. But maybe one day when the money transmission situation gets resolved (and it's been 593 or so days of waiting so far on one federal judge), that will be possible.

Generally, it's worth noting that the problems in American politics are mostly not technological in nature. They're a lot deeper, and this is precisely the kind of argument where Evgeny Morozov is correct: technology cannot solve all problems. It still can solve some, but at the end of the day, the simple fact is that we have extremists in Congress running the country.
Shutdown 101: What’s Going To Happen Tonight At Midnight?
I'm not a fan of direct democracy at all. The majority of people's knowledge of important statistics on subjects such as crime, employment, taxation, etc, has been severely twisted by media sensationalism. Putting people who have a shaky grasp on reality in charge of a country is a recipe for disaster.

Though Liquidfeedback doesn't seem to be quite as direct as that. Whether it would work in reality would depend on how these proxies get their information. From reliable sources, or newspaper headlines and angry blogs.
Can't you get fixed-rate mortgages in Sweden?
All of my friends have yachts, so everyone in the world must have one or two. All statistics are bullshit, personal experiences are always valid though.
If all you've got is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail...

The problem with US politics isn't that we need some magical way for assholes on the internet to bicker more efficiently; it's that political culture is just broken. It's Us vs. Them mentality, the news and blame game, and the fact that nobody has any fucking idea how the economy actually works, in spite of having very strong opinions about it.
> "Mouthwatering returns and safe" simply means that the risk has been well disguised (e.g. is off balance sheet / using creative accounting) and it hasn't blown up yet.

Or there is a severe lack of competition (and consumer protection regulation).
That headline reminds me of how the iPhone 5 was going to save the US economy.

You mean to say that you didn't think something was off about Gabe Newell saying "... you slobbering shit-wizards ..." in an apparently official communication? :-)
I don't understand this comment. .NET team isn't one man shop, there's various teams working on various issues. Should JIT team stop working until CLR gets "more expressive type system"?

Not to mention that .NET CLR features are mostly driven by CLR languages. While there's couple of things that CLR can do what C# can't do, you can bet that CLR will get new features when they're introduced in new C#.

And yes, SSE access would be nice.
Telecom is similar -- I'm sick of the Telstra oligopoly.
I think we need to find a way to stop people voting for unaffordable policies that benefit them.
More complex hydrocarbons are associated with carbon-based life forms (e.g. most of the stuff we use to make plastics come from crude oil which came from the decomposition of carbon-base lifeforms). IIRC, methane is one of the simplest hydrocarbons and thought to be naturally-occurring throughout the universe. Other complex hydrocarbons on the other hand...?

(disclaimer: I might be wrong)
Reasons range from:

1) Big corporations don't like to overspend on PC hardware and can have great deals with anyone but Apple.

2) A company that work mostly on Windows platform (.Net, MSSql)

4) As weird as it sound some people might actually not like OSX.

No. Your obligation not to steal is not derived from any more fundamental obligation to sustain other people's business models.
Very well possible. This sounds very much like my time at the military, though. Down to the point where I took naps throughout the day whenever I could.

In my case I'm quite sure the main driver was not because I forced a different schedule onto myself, but the dietary changes and probably the excercise.

Of course it's very possible that you are just "more of an owl" (by whatever definition) than I was.

Well theoretically, your birth or naturalization certificate is proof of citizenship, not a passport. And travel can theoretically be done without any sort of passport too. Historically passports are a very recent thing in the history of travel.

Also I'd imagine passport & citizenship documentation is a very small part of the government.

Google's Open Bidder Is Everything But Open
> Removes a lot of the useless icons

The screenshot implies that it's removed all the icons - are icons universally considered useless now? I know I'm a sample of one, but I've always found the console icon to get "console output", the big red button for "delete", etc to be useful and unobtrusive...

For people using jenkins on their phones? :S I'm using it on a 1080p monitor, and even then I sometimes use my browser's zoom feature to zoom out so that I can fit more information on screen...

I'm all for UI improvements, but this just seems like "replace things with bootstrap, because everything has to be like bootstrap now" :(
Even more than that, if one wants to insert backdoors in OOS, one could easily do that getting barely noticed.

A program might be open source, still the binaries offered for download might be compromised. Who is able to notice that now?

You might compile the software yourself, but the majority of users wont.

You might have reverse engineered a closed source software, but I guess you won't do that for the OSS binaries.
Hm. Didn't know that either. Thanks for the edit :P

I though medical insurance is available to self-employed. Is it not the case?

I've also heard many self-employed people now face a significant increase in their healthcare costs due to the fact that many high-deductible catastrophic insurance plans are illegal under ACA and plans that cover everything from contraceptives to mental health problems cost a lot more. At least I've seen many reports from self-employed people that they got notes from their insurance companies that their plan is cancelled under ACA and is no longer available.
Worth it - just to hear the story told by a master story teller. Any new views on the relative disposition of strengths - just icing on the cake.
Yeah I'm in London too, have seen a noticeable uptick in the number of Lumia's recently.
Eh? I just looked at the list rates of a few of the Swedish banks and all the short term interest (3 month fixed) were below 3% while the 2+ year fixed were 3.2% and up.

Quite far from 4% and if you have decent finances you can get lower than that. Even at 4% it is a far cry from the rates of days of old.

Banks are profitable, sure. But also remember that the credit loses on mortgages in Sweden are practically zero, that contributes greatly to profitability.

Lastly, why would it be a fair system to have to lend directly from the central bank, you would not pay REPO rate as individual borrowers are significantly more risky than huge banks...
I still have a dead (as of 15 months ago) friend's facebook account in my contacts in case his family (none of whom I knew) wish to contact people again (it is through accessing his account there that they let us know what we had heard/guessed was true and let us know what the funeral arrangements were.

I've had to reduce the size of the "contacts" square on my Windows phone though as the larger sizes it flashes up pictures culled from various address books and for some reason picked his more regularly than anyone else's and having his face pop up almost every time I looked at my phone felt a tad odd.
Methane is not an indication of life. It's too common. But if you can find methane in rock then you can check the rock and see if it's a type that could make methane.

> I would hate to try to code such a program in C for connecting to the web.

Why would you want to connect a wall switch to the web in the first place? The Internet of Things doesn't necessarily have to mean the WWW of things.

For instance, you can always expose low-power devices through a low-overhead, low-power & short-range communication protocol to a <that-protocol-enabled> router. It also makes sense to have all of those devices configured from there (indeed, via a web interface exposed on the gateway) rather than having a web server on each of them.
After a little googleing found this... https://github.com/corbanbrook/dsp.js

Also the performance JS delivers is already between 25% to 50% of clang (assuming you use asm.js).
Usually you can fix at anywhere form 3 months to ten years.

Currently SBAB (one of banks) offers 3month list rate at 2.9% and 10 year at 4.47%. Though that 10 year fixed rate right now would be quite insane. Most likely not going to be a good choice all things considered.
11px is a pretty small default, below the recommended size. For links it also means a small target to click on.

There's some context about icons here: http://jonoscript.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/gmail-designer-ar...

If they are universally acknowledgeable (a big red X, a red dot, a green dot) then yeah they make sense, otherwise they just lead to confusion about what they do. In this case I didn't think they were adding anything to the left hand marker so I removed them.
That's like saying "only a small heart attack" or "just one termite".
All the data I have is anecdotal but here it is: I'm an owl. I do not experience worse sleep compared to normal people, and in my experience my sleep pattern seems to work better than most larks. The things the article attributes to owls are not problems I'm suffering from, but on the contrary some of my lark or normal friends do have them, including unusual tiredness during the day. I usually don't consume tobacco or alcohol (only on certain social occasions).

I'm also fortunate in that I have some brain MRIs of mine and in my opinion there is no marked reduction in white matter anywhere. I do not have the feeling that I'm suffering from permanent jet lag, though I must admit that I seldomly experience jet lag at all (which I guess could mean I have it all the time without noticing it somehow).

And here comes the most poignant bit of the article:

"It's interesting that there are individual differences, but we need
to understand what is causing them and find ways of creating environments
in which those differences can be attenuated," says Dirk-Jan Djik

which sounds horrible and ignorant. I don't want my differences to be attenuated. People are different, and for the most part that's a good thing. Being an owl is only a problem if it inhibits human function. Otherwise, I refuse to be labelled sick simply because I have a different innate sleep pattern. Being an owl works for me.

Ah, so they like that part of the constitution.
To be fair they're working with a completely different set of constraints than this is - this is close to the Delta ticket redesign project if you could also use it for your delta ticket. They have to support every browser, every language, every platform, every ARIA recommendation, and make sure that everything is open source compliant, which is fairly tricky.
Well it happens if you name your javascript ad*.js or similar, also should be extremely easy to find.
