i wish bitcoin's equating with gold is going to last - but i believe that because bitcoin's uncontrollability (from the banker's point of view), it will be stamped out as soon as it threatens fiat currencies as the dominant means of transfer.
It is addressed in the opening part of the report. At least give it a shot before debunking.
It is correct some places, and may now finally be correct everywhere, but especially in the US it is not all that obvious whether or not your meat is "pure" in any meaningful sense:

Are those updates frequent and steady feature updates, a la Chrome, or merely security and bug fix updates? The former would be a big change from previous IE. The latter would mean Google's statement is still basically accurate, and is what most Windows systems have been doing for years with Windows update.

Worth noting that it's an explicit aim of vanilla views to exactly replicate the functionality of Django's GCBVs.

For the docs: "If you believe you've found some behaviour in Django's generic class-based views that can't also be trivially achieved in django-vanilla-views, then please open a ticket, and we'll treat it as a bug."

You shouldn't be losing any flexibility by using it instead of using Django's existing GCBV implementation.

I wonder, where is the api-zation of CS research ? It would have been nice if CS research was available as source code, but until that happens(probably long into the future),why aren't we seeing more research offered as API , even for fee ?

And is it something tat can be solved by tools ?

This sentence is enough for the upvote. I agree with the rest, too.

>>Pretty similar to how things are here in the US

Would like to know more about this. Are there same kind of bureaucratic hassles in US too?

I thought in some states like Delaware the taxes are too low and therefore makes sense to start up there. I've also heard similar things about Singapore.

I've never traveled outside India, and would love to know more about things in the US.

Similar to when people believe that a new windows version boots faster than the other, a VM is not a real world test case. Typically windows performance degrades significantly over time in terms of program launch and boot up time. Try using that VM as your main computing environment for 8 months and then check IE launch time.

Is there any serious research paper on BTC (and not an enthusiast blog post)?
Bitcoin is still very, very - VeRY - obscure to most of the world. Hardly anyone 'gets it' but every time something to do with Bitcoin appears in the news, a few thousand more people get interested enough in the subject to educate themselves about it, and invest in Bitcoins. This strengthens the currency - for as long as it continues to 'get known about' by the general population, the value will rise. It is still very obscure.

Awesome. I wish (as always) I hadn't sold mine earlier. But if I didn't I would probably sold them now and wait to see what happens.

Thing is, this fluctuations are not connected with any sort of events that make sense or justify the price sky-rocketing which makes me think that the whole thing is driven, manually.

I've never been able to tell how much of the 'web browser is in the OS!' system was a business move to defeat Netscape and how much was an ill-conceived technical idea. Either way, 'Active Desktop' was pretty darn lousy.
It would be great to see a market solution to this. Bitcoin is a bit like the gold rush/wild west at the moment which is fine for those who understand this before diving in, but until these types of trust issues are resolved market participation will be limited, which presumably will eventually effect the liquidity of the market for btc.
Actually by and large Indian government has done a good job fighting diseases like Polio. They set up centers accessible to nearly every one, where you could have Polio drops administered to kids. Generally these are near places of worship, schools or community centers. The government also bought in celebrities to campaign for that.

I see the same for Tuberculosis, malnutrition, maternal health, child diarrhea and many other public health things.

But definitely more can be done.

Please note India also has massive corruption in private set ups. Pointless tests, surgeries,needless medication advices to inflate bills, treatments purpose fully stretched... etc etc. It all happens.

You are taking that in a different context. It should be read as software development is easy compared to marketing that software.

For example, in a child comment you mention go build photoshop and get back on how "easy" it is. Problem is more complicated the software, harder the marketing part. In-fact, you might need a full fledged marketing and sales team if you were to successfully launch a complicated software.

Finally!

It is good news, I suppose, but we really should have been at this stage a long time ago. And emissions are still growing, just not as fast. We need to reduce emissions.

Decoupling emissions from economic growth sounds great, but it's only slightly decoupled. We still need to get rid of coal as soon as possible.

And the big economies need to have better energy solutions ready so the up-and-coming economies can use those, instead of their rapid growth sending coal use through the roof.
That is nice and all, except I just came across a website the other day (a catalog for eyeglass frames) that did not function in the latest Firefox but functioned fine in IE. The online catalog was a brand new addition to the site. Even better is when I hit some site where some features work better in IE, some work better in FF, and some work better in Webkit browsers. That is always fun.

Web developers are of varying quality. If they target their site at one given browser (which of course they shouldn't do, but bad ones very well may), that browser is going to perform better on that site.
> I don't follow news about India/AIDS

Are you honestly saying that you cannot see how smart people with excellent computing could possibly do anything to help with significant problems such as HIV/AIDS or world hunger or food insecurity?

Are you really only interested in news about the latest cat-photo startup?

(I'm not dismissing those web sites. People have fun, and winning a start-up lottery gives that person money to spend on good science.)

That's not a good thing, especially here.

Billing for idle travel time, but not double-billing travel+work makes sense.

The premise is that travel is wasted time by the lawyer - that he could have used for another client or family if he did not have to travel. If they can bill another client during travel, then it wasn't wasted time for them after all.

This looks horrible if I want the opening brace on the same line as the closing parens around function parameters, but still want the function parameters to be aligned, like this:

int someCodeDemo ( [tab] int fred,
[tab] int wilma) {
[tab] return fred + wilma;
}

I guess it needs some vertical space between blocks in order to distinguish them, hence why putting { on the next line works.

In my opinion, it also looks horrible with Lisp code (where I pretty much consider indentation a solved problem).

Edit: Oh god, how do I format this... Ah, there we go.

IE7 is very difficult to develop modern web apps for, when one even counters difficulties with IE9 vs modern browsers - and IE 8 was a big step up from 7.
Any companies poorly administrated enough to still be using IE7 should see moves like this as a wake up call that it's time to move on from 2008.

Even though Chrome automatically updates on people's personal computers, bureaucracies like my university still use a version that is more than a year old (could be over 2 yrs). I hope Google finds a way to force such luddite organisations to update regularly.
We shouldn't worry about C++11 / C++14 compiler support, which will eventually come, but rather standard libraries. It's a pain that libstdc++ still does not support some C++11 features[1] (no std::move on streams, for example).

They probably have good reasons, such as keeping the same ABI as long as possible, but it's sometimes very frustrating.

Firstly newer versions of windows do boot quicker. But TBH I don't reboot them. Workstations get left on. Laptops get hibernated so neither is much of a problem. That's a stupid metric. Anyway, read this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/08/delivering-fas...

My primary laptop is running Windows 7 as installed in 2010. I haven't done a thing to it. It's fine. I've gone through Visual Studio 2010 - 2013 on it as well. It has a full SQL server installation and several virtual machines. Still like lightning.

Not only that I have a Dell workstation sitting in the office that hasn't been touched since installed in 2010 that I use for 4-5 hours a day via RDP over a shitty connection. Absolutely fine.

Windows is only slow if you fuck something up, install a million toolbars or are a mac user or Linux user trying for trendy Microsoft bashing for upvotes.
> I flagged this submission, I hope the usual complainers understand why.

Perhaps you could explain why you think this is flag-worthy? I could understand that you might find it unimportant, or dull. But you've flagged it, and declared that you flagged it, which suggests you have some strongly negative feeling toward it appearing here.

I'd be interested to see where you'd put this on a scale with all the other stories that get subbed to HN.

Sorry. Realized I completely misread both posts.
The argument-ender for me is: Look, when I'm at the DC, on console, with an 80 column screen, I cannot make my terminal any wider than 80 characters, and the site is down.

This also applies for a lot of remote-access tools -- serial console as well as direct, so even if I'm not at the DC, once I'm on those interfaces, something's likely fucked up or headed that way.
Its always nice to see new approaches, but I think the smaller label text is just too small for lots of users.

The fuck? USD changes less than 2% a year. Within the last _six months_ BTC has been valued at anywhere from $65 to $321 USD (http://bitcoinity.org/markets). It would be incredibly difficult to oversell how volatile BTC is - it's really, really, really, really fucking volatile.
Good point, I believe clang + libstdc++ is a much more common combination than clang + libc++.

One thing I really don't like about libc++ is that it doesn't support anything from TR1 - makes it needlessly difficult to use in existing code bases.
I wouldn't trust Gox as far as I could throw a piano right now.

It looks like you are putting words in my mouth.

All I'm saying is that I follow a subset of news that's related to tech and startup. Which means I don't have an informed opinion on:

or:

In many ways India, due to its population and the strength of its generic industry, is the key battlefield for global pharma in their war against cheaper generics. Which is why the Obama administration is trying to arm twist India into blocking generics:

India is also aggressively trying to reduce variation in drug prices within the country too.

"Consumers will be the biggest beneficiaries as prices of some brands may fall by up to 70 per cent. [...] Analysts estimate that the policy will cover two-thirds of the Rs. 60,000 crore domestic industry. [...] The new policy differs from the existing DPCO 1995 in that it is based on the simple average price (SAP) for all brands with a market share above 1 per cent in their segment. The new policy also uses a market-based pricing mechanism against the earlier proposed cost-plus method. [...] In the long-term, the policy proposes to reduce the bandwidth of prices of the same molecule and this will have an impact on manufacturers in the mid and lower segments, analysts feel."

This isn't about feelings, I'm just adding a data point to HN ranking algorithm.

The reason I enjoy being on HN is because of this community's mindset of "let's disrupt the big, established, old players". Seen from that angle, this submission is irrelevant because it's not about disrupting a big player, it's about perpetuating a harmful monopoly.

No.

When you get a bit older you'll realize that design is to a great extent like fashion, full of the same ebbs and flows and trends with an underlying current of timeless utility that expresses itself in different ways depending where you look.

If there's a new quality to web design that makes it appear even more formulaic than usual I would say it's the presence of frameworks like Bootstrap that let you make something look halfway decent looking with very basic skills and a tiny amount of work. It's certainly never been as easy to get your feet wet in design.

But has innovation stopped? No, it only seems that way if you're under 25 and your brain is still developing so you don't actually have any perspective longer than the last year or two.
No, it's becoming "too valuable" in terms of the goods a person would normally buy with it. It is more convenient to quote prices in whole number units than in tiny fractions of a unit. The USD is irrelevant here.
For example when everyone has a different meaning how many spaces a tab represents, you end up with multiple amounts of tabs on your files.

This fully breaks the indentation, which is exacerbated when multiple teams working on the same code basis use different editors and tab settings.

So in the end one needs to rely on external tools that go over the source code to normalize the use of tabs.
