None of the stories about potential bidders for Blackberry mention the Investment Canada Act. Essentially, because of its size, any foreign bid for Blackberry would have to be approved by the Canadian cabinet. The Act has only been used twice, but it's a possibility.

Tesla, recall is coming, that is obvious. You will be forced to put in stronger armor underneath. So drop the price by $10K, or do the recall sooner. Either way that is the reason for the stock hit, people know one or the other or both are coming.

I'm unconvinced that a start up company needs Brand Management.

I'm under the impression that PR is what companies do when they mess up, many startups are simply too young to have messed something up publicly, or are old or large enough not to really be considered startups any more (dropbox, twilio, at least in my opinion should hardly be considered startups at this point)

Sorry, I guess, that you haven't heard of teams caching denormalized data in MongoDB...

MongoDB uses memory-mapped files across all available memory to manage data, it sacrifices ACID for speed, and its capped collections sacrifice undefined size for more speed. Its client drivers originally defaulted to fire-and-forget semantics, emphasizing its performance-oriented design. Such performance orientation is suitable for cache or cache-like needs. The general point is that its place in a system is different than that of the typical "database", whether it's SQL/RDBMS, ACID-compliant, or even document.

I'm fully aware of the MongoDB's trough of disillusionment status in the community hype cycle. 10gen brought this on by setting unrealistic expectations early on, through poor documentation and marketing. Calling it a database, a term laden in the mind of the professional developer with expectations of ACID compliance and proprietary languages, was a shortcut that ignored its atypical performance-first roots, and all of the trade-offs that followed from that. I've read more comments from people with a lack or faulty understanding of MongoDB to surmise that it's stalled in the trough because the name confuses developers. "In-memory cache with persistence" is a also shortcut, but one that is a little more circuitous and strikes a better balance.
Why not? If you started up a company and it was quite shit, however I still wanted to buy a piece of it and you agreed then why couldnt we transact? BTW this stock is traded on pink slips OTC.

That's OK. It doesn't have to exist for it to be interesting to me. Think of it more like an interesting extrapolation of a scifi story, if you want. HFT advantages become slim enough to warrant dynamic instrument selection based on twitter sentiment analysis. So, you get bad algorithms following imperfect people, who execute millions of trades to fast to watch. And, someone trying to take advantage of that would act like a domain squatter, taking stake in a penny stock, predicting the next misspelling and correction.
Well there is some evidence that people vote on the title only without reading the article, sometimes even commenting just on the title. So if you were really interested in maximizing karma you would put an outrageous title on it, get some rage-comments to force it to the front page and then the mods switch it to the real title. Not saying this has ever happened of course but it did strike me that blogs use link baitey titles, why not karma-baitey titles?

In my interpretation it is all about what happened and how you spin the story. We see in books and movies where someone appears to be quite guilty but then in the twist they are not or vice versa. Now, life might be messier in some sense that such is less likely in theory. But even forensic evidence can be manipulated and the science of forensic evidence does not have the same rigorous scientific underpinnings as depicted on CSI. In a digital world, a lot of things can be manipulated, and in the world of espionage probably are.

The article is not talking about creating jobs in general, but about cleaning up certain neighborhoods. Nice restaurants aren't opening in the Tederloin because the catering is being brought in from elsewhere in the city.
An interesting thought. Perhaps users constantly coming back and checking their comments for replies, increases time on site, and the possibility users will interact further and view other posts.

But, the reality is probably that pg is just super busy and does not have the time and bandwidth to build features out. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Reddit does not send notifications on comment replies either.
Thanks for taking the time to check up on it. Also, I love DDG, but I haven’t found an appropriate verb to describe the action yet. So far, I’ve been using ‘duckducking’.
Many people in the Tenderloin actively avoid gentrification[0]. For many of the people who live there, it is a beacon of hope. The one place in the center of many major US cities, where many of the outcasts of modern urban society can still remain in the city. They like their life. They have been living there for years and hope they can continue to live there for many more. There is no delusion that once they give in to gentrification, they will be forced out of the city and most will never again be able to afford living again. And in the process neighbors who have grown up living together in the same place for decades will be ripped apart while they have to move elsewhere, but not in a way where they can preserve the communities they currently have.

If I counted myself among those who have called the Tenderloin home for years, I would despise the people who seek to terraform my home making it inhabitable to me while they make it habitable to themselves.

Yes, I agree. But regarding my comment, the use case was caching with persistence. Redis has some persistence options (pure snapshot or pure journal), but they just aren't its primary use case and aren't nearly as mature or performant as MongoDB's memory-mapped filing. Also Redis is key-value so requires manual indexing, i.e. much more up-front developer effort.

Memcached doesn't have persistence.
They test this across the street from my office. Pretty crazy when you actually see it sprint the length of a football field, turn around and run the length again.

Every time I see something like this, I would normally go on some boilerplate rant about the troubles of our government and society, and how USG should be paying NOAA instead of the RIAA, MPAA, NSA, and CIA and how this corruption is awful and terrible and despicable and horrifying.

I've done enough of that. I want to actually solve things instead of wasting my time on the 'net talking about them. The problem is, I don't know how on earth we can get the crooks and corrupt out of our government. It's seems like muckrakers don't even exist anymore, and those that do (Greenwald) barely get attention.

I wish I could do something. I bet many other on HN do as well, but ultimately, I'll just go on with my day job and silence the inner cries of freedom.

Seriously, that guy moved a billion dollars worth of drugs. And was criminally stupid, might I add. If we don't do it, there are a thousand other countries who will. Putting up a hidden tor website isn't exactly putting a man on the moon.

It would be silly to expect this latest round in the war on drugs to go down any differently than it's been going for decades. Whatever sucker was on top of the pyramid gets put in jail, and drugs get cheaper, purer, and easier to get. Just like clockwork.
I'm not really sure what you're getting at. Having to move far out and getting several roommates just to swing the payments on your Model S is not exactly my idea of comfortably affording the car.

I wouldn't buy a Tesla on $100k in North Dakota either. Maybe, if I felt like blowing through money, I'd get a BMW 3 series or Audi A4, both of which are still considerably cheaper than a Model S.

These are the consequences of gerrymandering -- hyper-majorities where one side rarely (if ever) cooperates with the other. Hell, cooperation is internally translated as capitulation.

Our congressional representatives don't have to care about their constituents because they are guaranteed re-election due to electoral districts being meticulously reorganized in their party's favour.

We need a third party that one of the two has to appease in order to get any work done, and if that third party is ignored by one then the other gains favour. Until then, we will live in tyranny of "The Other Side" holding us hostage.
I have no concrete proof that this is happening, but it sure feels like it from time to time. It's not uncommon to see articles chart to the front page with provocative headlines that, upon clicking through, bear little resemblance to the headlines or body of the linked content.

Gut-level guesstimate, but the following titling strategies seem to work disproportionately well:

1) Pointed, rhetorical questions (as much as we all claim to hate them)

2) "How I..." titles (usually some legitimate merit to these posts, but if one were so inclined to game the system...)

3) Contrarian declaratives, usually about popular topics. (Hypothetical example: "Facebook is not a social network." This will generate a lot of blind upvotes, plus at least a few knee-jerk comments in opposition).

In fairness to HN, the content actually matters here. I can't say the same for a lot of the subreddits I browse, where blind upvoting based on title alone is a lot more rampant. It's pretty hard to crack the front page with lousy but well-clickbait-titled content here, though we've all seen it done before (and it seems to happen at least once a week).

I totally get that, it's the reason I mentioned the 7-year time window though. You'd think that something like that would've been done at some point during all that time by some interns or something by now, even if it was a super low priority. I'm guessing that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy must just be really strong with PG in that case. Or possibly have some deeper reasoning like you mentioned.

I've been running a GTX 680 on Windows 7 for the past year, and count 0 crashes, none from the desktop nor games, though I'm been playing fewer and fewer games these days.

Before that, I had an ATI HD 5870 for over a year. I had about 3 crashes on the desktop, some that lost me work. The anger from losing work is what I remember most strongly, and made me vow not to buy ATI next time.

Ember101 - The Ember 101 course
Continuing the half-joke:

A safer idea is for people to build EMPs, since they have much less potential to be used to hurt humans compared to the heavy weapons you mention.

I don't know how effective it is, but I've heard that one way to get the high instantaneous power need for an EMP is to use a potato cannon to fire a very large cylindrical permanent magnet through a wire coiled thousands of times around the cannon barrel. I haven't seen any video proof of this idea though, so take it with a grain of salt.
It just doesn't work. Similar visual comparisons between agencies mean vastly different things depending on their position on the graph. This is an example of a dataset that would have been better served by a simple list of numbers and percentages.
To me it seems far from only a proof of concept, specially in light of who is financing it and the rest of Boston Dynamics' robots.

As inventors, I would say it's high time we start to think about the consequences of our tech "innovations".
I disagree. Many people in this world lack the freedom to purchase cocaine. Whether they should have the freedom is up for debate. Whether it's a question of freedom is not.
Naming conflicts aside (what if your definition of "empty" doesn't match some other part of the code?), consider the `Array.prototype.empty` example. You extend `Array`, then some other bit of code anywhere else in the environment decides to do the following:

var pets = ["dog", "cat", "rabbit", "turtle", "owl", "alligator"];
for(var i in pets) {
console.log(pets[i]);
}

And what do you get?

dog
cat
rabbit
turtle
owl
alligator
function () {
return !this.length;
}

Oops! And here you could argue that the other coder should've known to use hasOwnProperty or forEach or whatever, but, all that aside, extending native object prototypes is an easy way to break code all over the environment.

Exactly what I was thinking, it's pretty much a direct clone.
Have to agree. The Senate and House should have term limits, and not very long ones.

In my opinion the most 'bought' politicians are the ones that have been there the longest, people like Boehner and Reid. They have the most time to build up relationships with special interests and acquire power / influence to deliver deals to said interests.
I have thought about this a lot but there appears to be no workable solution. I predict things will just get steadily worse.

The one thing that might help would be to somehow limit the power these clowns have as then there would be little incentive for corruption or ability to screw things up. Something like a new Bill of Right saying what they CAN'T do. However getting them to relinquish any power is pretty much impossible instead they will little by little accumulate more.
