I think it's kind of offensive to refer to a product decision by a website as Anschluss; both because it implies Google's leadership are the Nazis, and because it trivializes the actual German/Austrian union (and thus beginning of WW2).

Marginally more offensive than the "co-prosperity sphere" thing pinboardguy did.
>Yes, it is. Not alone, but given the argumentation that Youtube-comments did get even worse because of this change.

No, it is not. You cant cherry pick examples to prove your point. To argue that Youtube comments did get worse by supplying a single(10,100,10000) data point(s) is preposterous. One should do a comprehensive scraping of comments for many videos and many countries and many categories, analyze for quality and compare with previous data(without Google+ integration). Then you have a solid foundation for making conclusions. Anything else is just verturing into fantasy land.

> It's equally silly to force users who'd established and clearly indicated they wished to maintain separate accounts for separate services, to integrate these.

[...]

> I neither want my pseudonymous G+ account ("Edward Morbius") nor my personal Gmail account(s) (unspecified) to have any association with YouTube.

I disagree: in principle, making services and identities orthogonal is clearly the right thing to do. Having (for example) three different, unlinked identities, any of which can use or not use GMail, G+ or YouTube at the user's discretion, is clearly preferable to having a YouTube account, a G+ account, and a GMail account. If pseudonymous identity A doesn't want to use YouTube, then "don't do that, then". If the user later decides that identity A should post a video to YouTube after all, he/she can just do so. Under the old system, that would require the user to either give away the connection between (say) the G+ account and the YouTube account, or to create a fourth account - a second YouTube account - for identity A to use on YouTube.

The problem is that in practise Google is making a bags of the transition to the new model (or what they're telling jmillikin the new model is) - whether through incompetence, or not caring enough, or because they're duplicitous in claiming that they really want to support multiple (externally-facing) identities per Google user.

"diversity streams" is the term I prefer, since it's about under-representation in specific spheres of activity (which should be more diverse).

This context, internet anonymity, is rather an odd case - we're discussing the advantages of hiding in the crowd, by masking your identity as a member of a stream. I'm still using my preferred language for similar political problems involving the diversity streams, because I think it's the most appropriate nomenclature.

I have recently researched this field out of a personal need and there is a few companies that do fast, inexpensive and insured luggage transport. They even do it door to door, picking up at your home and delivering at your hotel (before you arrive if you send the bags early). They might just need to do more advertising.

In the end I did not try any of them but was pleasantly surprised that there are people working on fixing this.
Gah. Looks like my crappy web server has fallen over.

The spam/troll filter on Youtube really is egregious. "Nigger "*85 was just one such example. Obvious spam such as "my stay-at-home mother earned $X last month from Y job. Visit Z to find out more" are way too common. I have only seen two filters on youtube comments: 1. block URLs, and 2. upper limit on message length. I'll state it plainly: in this instance, Google does shitty software.

As a counterexample, most comments on Slashdot are far from ideal, but Slashdot has long had filters in place to prevent obvious trolling such as these. Given /.'s OSS-friendliness in general, I'm sure they would have given Google these filters, if Google had only asked.

How is rm different from what you'd expect? R also has head, tail, grep, ls... all likewise.

And why would you need to google the function c? I don't think there's ever been anything more I've wanted to know about it than is written on ?c.

But your second paragraph makes a good point. For any given big csv of numbers it's a whole lot faster and fewer LOC to clean, organise and plot in R than in Python, even with Python's ever-growing list of imports.
Don't be silly - computer programmers are experts in every field due to Google and Wikipedia, so certainly the science and humanities posts must be of top quality.
Difficulty does not affect the price at all. Bitcoins are produced at a more-or-less stable rate regardless of the amount of mining competition.

In fact, before hashrate was that high a lot of investors' money was going into mining, not to exchanges (30% growth every 10 days over the last 6-7 months). As mining becomes more and more competitive, less money will go there and more to BTC holders, thus moving the price drastically.

Edit: typos and more clarity.
the context I'm most familiar with is representation (in a profession, in parliament, etc) so we talk positively about making those places more diverse, rather than pointing out the systemic marginalisation (which, for the case of sexism/etc in those contexts, is often subconscious - unlike apartheid.)

Here we go again. A thread full of financial experts, conspiracists and excessive naysayers. Let's keep Bitcoin off the frontpage until it crashes, okay? With this trend it will reach an all-time-high every week or so which every tech blog will wrap in a bag-full-of-fluff-blogpost, there will be new analysis et cetera.

Let it go. Just enjoy the ride.
That's a bit short. Consumers of coffee, biscuits, etc do not need to know their trademarks are owned by the same legal entity or their subsidies, nor would they benefit from this knowledge.

Completely the opposite with Google or Microsoft. You need to know that YouTube is Google because it has an impact on privacy things, and you arguably benefit from their link with single sign on, reduced complexity, unified notification center, etcetera.

You cannot make bitcoins with a shitty CPU, or a shitty GPU. You can try, but the difficulty is too high, and is always increasing.

If this is a new concept to you, imagine:

When I first received my BFL Jalapeno (ASIC 5G mining rig) and started mining, to the time I sold it, the difficulty had increased enough that I was seeing a .05 BTC gain in twice the time. So now you can imagine how eventually only people above a certain mining speed will be profitable.
If you are into JavaScript, http://echojs.com is pretty good.
So that you won't be able to move goalposts later, what exactly is your criteria to state that a company does shitty software?

As it is now, your comment states the following:

Google did some software with bugs and bad UX => Google does shitty software.

I can't argue against this for quite obvious reasons :)
I do not understand what drives this sort of activism that we're seeing regarding YouTube and G+ comments. Why it's suddenly such an issue on HN, worthy of such passion and fanaticism.

For all that is happening in the world, and even just the tech world, whether you use one identity system or another to comment on someone's ripped from Vine video on YouTube sits pretty low on the importance scale.

This is YouTube comments we're talking about. The rotting garbage dump of the internet. The notorious, worst-case example of what happens when everyone airs their thoughts.

Now, apparently, we all are to remember as a system that worked? One that is so worthy of defense?

Maybe I'll take a break from HN for a week while people wave their flags and battle in the open plains over something so utterly irrelevant.
Not a parody post, but a serious commentary....

4chan is utterly brilliant, in a "you stay over there, far away from me, and someone else will actually visit you and find the quality posts and link me to them" sort of way :P

This history of 4chan is rather important to internet culture, really. 4chan came from a group of Something Awful Goons love affair with Japanese culture. It was were Anonymous were born, and where, over the years, said group became to be made of a three distinct factions - oldfags, newfags and direct action protesters. The difference between these groups is crucial to understanding a distinct group of security risks faced by internet connected systems today.

4chan has helped drive the discussion of the role of anonymity in online communities. It inadvertently raised the profile of stenography, due to it being used on images being posted to hide less savoury content. 4chan sparked such things as http://1d4chan.org which is a great repository of tabletop gaming culture. 4chan also helped to drive the evolution of many internet memes, especially image macros ('lolcats').

4chan is not without its problems, however. As hinted above, the anonymous image boards have always appealed to people wanting to exchange illicit images. The anonymous nature of the message boards does drive some (many?) of them to be, well, cesspits. The disparate groups that came together in Anonymous pull it in many different ways, causing tension and feuds.

So on second thoughts, let's not go to 4chan; It is a silly place. But I will be sad to see it go, and it deserves to be long remembered.
> in this instance, Google does shitty software.

Worse. It's doing shitty text mining, which is something they usually do pretty well at (seeing it's their core competency).

No-one complains when Apple messes up their cloud data storage (well, they do, but most people just say "OK, local storage + Dropbox still works"), but if the next iOS looked like a late 90s Java UI it wouldn't be a good sign.
Slashdot providing Google with algos to detect spam? Thats adorable. I respect slashdot but claiming that they may have better NLP algorithms than Google is absolutely unbelievable.
Another way the new comments are broken: whenever you find one of those comments "in reply to [user]", if you click on the message, you're not shown the replied comment like you would have before the changes. Instead, a new window opens, with the same video you were watching starting again from 0:00 (and, at last, the comment you wanted to read). Who decided that awkward behaviour?

I think the only satisfactory alternative to HN, which could attract hackers and hackers only would be some sort of a termminal application, and you would be able to browse it through terminal only, that way we could get rid off all the classy people and hence the drama/politics posts it will be a hacker's paradise like HN used to be.

The only question is, how do we do it ?
That's nice. I have for a long time been running just Postfix + Dovecot IMAP and relying on OSX Mail's spam detection, which is not that great (lots of false positives, learned data not synched between computers, etc). This inspires me to try using a SpamAssassin + ClamAV combo on the server.

Yes you can. It's called pooled mining.

What purpose of the article if in the documentation at nginx.org/en/docs/ you can find the same?

And, btw, you are giving bad advices. You are wrong here:
"By default, nginx sets our keep-alive timeout to 75s (in this config, we drop it down to 10s), which means, without changing the default, we can handle ~14 connections per second. Our config will allow us to handle ~102 users per second."

No, the keepalive connections doesn't limit nginx anyhow. Nginx closes keepalive connections when it reaches connection limit.

"gzip_comp_level sets the compression level on our data. These levesls can be anywhere from 1-9, 9 being the slowest but most compressed. We’ll set it to 6, which is a good middle ground."

No, it's not "middle ground". It kill performance of your server. With 6 you will get 5-10% better compression, but twice slowness.

"use epoll;"

What's the purpose of this? The docs says: "There is normally no need to specify it explicitly, because nginx will by default use the most efficient method."

"multi_accept tells nginx to accept as many connections as possible after getting a notification about a new connection. If worker_connections is set too low, you may end up flooding your worker connections. "

No, you have completely misunderstood this directive. It isn't related to worker_connections at all.
wat. The important figures for miners are the btc/usd conversion rate, the network difficulty, your hash rate itself, how much you initially paid for your rig ($/Gh) and how much power you're drawing ($/watt). All of these factors are important, but what will dominate over the coming months is power cost. Someone mining a 100 GH/s rig will make 5 times less BTC per day as someone mining a 500 GH/s rig, it's true, but if the 500 GH/s is sucking up proportionally more than 5 times the electricity then it can be better to mine with the lower hash rate. If the conversion rate improves that delays the period where electricity costs outweighs the income. For the difficulty to rise another order of magnitude (which would make BFL 60 GH/s Singles worthless), there needs to be about another 30 PH added to the network -- where's that coming from in only a month? In any case, people dropping their rigs because they're too power hungry may cause the difficulty to go down and make it worthwhile again for some who live in low-electricity-cost areas... There are variables you're not taking into account, hence the wat.
I tried it out when it first came out...just to see. But I wasn't nearly as happy with it as I am with Pandora. Maybe when the youtube service comes out it'll be worth paying if it comes with both, but otherwise I'll stick with pandora and torch music.

"Selecting DOM elements isn't an argument"

I think this is actually the remaining argument. JQuery was the best at selecting DOM elements and grew from there. I think the question now is whether you find enough value in the other parts of JQuery to include its (rather massive) .js file.
That works the other way too...people who invest during a bubble are quick to say "it's not a bubble!" - I'm not saying this is a bubble (I won't pretend to know enough or have clairvoyance), but it's not a valid defense to say something isn't overvalued just because people had said that at prices it has since eclipsed.

What are the transaction fees like on these services? I mean, if you just had a lot of Bitcoins you kept cycling through several wallets and back to your real bank account, would anyone be able to tell and how much would it cost to do?
Bitstamp looks interesting, but Bitcoin-Central is down, ironically.
For the purposes of hashing, double SHA256 is very far from being "broken" or drastically accelerated. If there's some ultra-fast chip that increases hashing by a factor of million, there are still enough of non-zero bits to have unique block hashes. And if, by chance, two blocks have the same hash, it does not break anything at all: each block has a unique serial number ("height") anyway. Hash is only used as a proof of work for a given height.

Probably because CoinBase is bringing some professionalism to the game. I admit I had some bad experiences with CoinBase in the beginning, as they were getting scaled up, but they always handled it with professionalism.
This is not a scientific journal… Sure, we could use those principles for everything, but I doubt it is necessary here. To look at the opinion of the people hosting those channels, who are directly in contact with those comments, and to observe their reaction and base a first conclusion on that, is perfectly fine for me.
I have never seen those links as patronizing, they are often useful and the reason they use what you call "wannabe-academic" formatting is because it is impossible to post inline links without killing readability. This is what people usually do in mailing lists too
I found a few more verified but not many. The really fishy part is I clicked thru to see all of a reviewer's reviews, and of course 9 of 10 of the non verified purchases have this as their only review ever entered in the system... its mostly an astroturf campaign, and not a very well run one.

The only non-astroturf non-verified review I could find was a guy who was VERY complimentary toward a bluetooth headphone from three years ago. Every other non-verified review smells astroturf-y.

I was thinking how to run an astroturf campaign like this on amazon reviews and I figured it was too expensive, you need herds of expensive prepaid CC to order a competitors product, then you need a botnet like herd of fake accounts to create a review history, then the botnet like herd needs to order and trash talk the competitors product, it all gets very expensive. However, it turns out all you need is a throwaway email address and solve a captcha and you've got a decent PR campaign, till someone notices.

I'm not implying all the buzz is astroturfing, merely around 90% of it. There are, I'm sure, DOA machines out there, just not many.

I have no dog in the fight in that I'm not planning to buy either, at least not planning to right now.

At the next difficulty estimate, an i7 with free electricity mining all the time at 8 MH/s would make about 9 US cents in a month. Since the difficulty will probably go up again in less than two weeks, make that less than 2 US cents per week. Since very few people actually have free electricity it's not worth it.

That's the thing, the new 500Ghash machines can smoke your 500Mhash machines and they use only a little more power. They are using 28nm ASIC.

A farm from a year ago can be completely outpowered by a couple of these machines.

And they are coming online in force over the next 30 to 60 days.
Taking a quick look at the source code directory structure https://github.com/jquery/jquery/tree/master/src, I believe that you could create a minimal, customized build containing only features that you actually want. For example only element selection (which is very convenient and fast IMO) and AJAX.
This is a pretty popular site already. I find this really useful for discovering cool stuff.
Pretty much great in every sense.

From a launch perspective: I had a mailing list of 1600 people built up before launch thanks to getting mentioned on places like Buzzfeed, BetaList etc

From a skills perspective: I already had some (though very limited) app marketing experience but when launch came around I had spoken to so many journalists that I knew

1) where I wanted to get mentioned
2) how to communicate what the app is about (something I struggled with A LOT at the start).

From a day-to-day perspective: great too as it added a nice variety to my week.
Reducing spam isn't just about having a better algorithm (short of strong AI, and even then two people can reasonably come to a disagreement about whether something is spam or not). It helps a lot to have the co-operation of the users. Something YouTube used to have, but doesn't anymore.

You have been arguing that pissing off the user base doesn't matter, but there is a real cost. Fighting your users means things like people not reporting spam anymore, or deliberately misreporting things that aren't spam.
Seriosuly, like a week ago Top Comments would display the actual top comments, as in highest-rated. Then they switched it to most-replied-to.
