I like to pair. I like to talk about pairing. I have worked with people who don't pair well. I worked with one person whose wife noticed that his entire personality changed for the worse when he tried to pair. He stopped pairing.

You don't like to pair. You don't want people to try to pair with you.

So far, I'm with you.

How do you get from there to "if you ever talk about pairing, you're incompetent and horrible"? I have trouble with that part.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it impossible to withdraw USD from MtGox at this point? How can this be a viable source of BTC->USD comparison when the only thing you can do with a USD balance on MtG is buy?

It's just a Poe's Law:

There's the good and the bad. I've gotten more free upgrades than I can count, and flying first class domestically is at least affordable. (JFK-SFO is half the cost of Virgin, but with a fully-flat bed, for example.) I also miss flights with frightening regularity, it's never cost me anything but time.

The incident I refer above was a ridiculous delay. The 762 they had for my SFO-JFK flight was broken in some way that made the plane flyable, but only fixable in LAX. They didn't tell us this, and loaded us on and taxied us out to the runway. There they told us we would be going to LAX, where there may be a new plane. Two hours later, we're in LAX, and waiting for a new plane. 6 hours after the scheduled arrival time, we're finally in JFK. Just fucking incompetent. Fly the good plane to SFO and board us there.

(Incidentally, I flew this route today, and sure enough, mechanical problem! We had to downgrade from a 763 to a 762, which was not appreciated, but at least we didn't have to fly all over the country looking for a better plane. And since I hadn't actually flown first class on a 762 before, it was nice to check it off my list. The seat was fine. Looking forward to the A321 on this route, though.)

As for flying to Japan, AA is a lot cheaper than JAL or Cathay. You get what you pay for. (AA is about $3000-$5000, Cathay is always $10,000+. JAL floats between the two extremes.)
Good joke.

Haha.
Ask HN:  What do you think of 4chan?
Recently there was a link here that I consider to be a brilliant parody of HN. The best parody makes it a bit painful to look in the mirror! I think it's only fair to let 4chan know how we perceive them, so add your best 4chan parody below (I'll get it started).
Wasn't there a time when biologists used perl a lot and thought it was great? It's all about being the first to market (while not totally sucking). And S is so old I'm not even sure if they had any scripting languages with operator overloading back then.
It's not impossible, but it is difficult.

However - it's much easier to withdraw in Japanese and Chinese currencies. BTCChina is pretty close to GoxUSD.

Perhaps HN is where you go (from 4chan) when you reach a certain level of maturity?

EDIT: Obviously enough 4chan users here to produce a long and humorous list of our particular "strangeness". Before someone there decides I'm an enemy, I should state that I don't think they should be shut down, I don't hate them and I fully think they should be able to have their fun.
Reddit is the best alternative of HN and the most favorable thing of this community is that it has sub communities such as Technology, Programming,etc. not like HN.

But, it also has some disadvantage such as spammers first attack, moderators are not so active, sometime you can find unusual stuffs.

It's very easy to withdraw from MtGox with Japanese and Chinese currencies. BTCChina is very close to GoxUSD in terms of price. The MtGox price is actually pretty accurate, bitstamp is the one that is lagging behind.

I use Firefox for the rest of my browsing, signed out of these services, and Chrome for webdev.

Python's NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, SciKits, and StatsModels are very formidable, and have most of the good stuff R has, plus Python itself has a lot more good stuff (from Boost Python to really basic stuff like argparse), minus some horrible stuff that R has (such as the affinity for global functions like `rm()` which seem to be named like Unix tools but which do other things, or the `c()` function which is impossible to Google for, or the abysmal default error reporting, or the use of dots in variable names).

But R has some things going for it. There are some algorithms and tools which exist in R but nowhere in Python (this set seems to both shrink and grow over time as both languages add more stuff). R's overly-terse syntax for some things is annoying for maintainers of R code, but R hackers enjoy it because they tend to be all about banging out piles of stuff quickly.

R also comes with a lot of stuff included that in the Python world would fall under many different umbrellas (see the several names I mentioned at the beginning--those are just some of the basics). Whether it's true or not, R users perceive Python as being relatively balkanized, with that long list of packages just to get started, and with the Python 2 vs. 3 divide which has plagued it for years and will continue for a while still.

I guess it is a complete coincidence that popular "we are now hacker news" thread appeared on 4chan and four posts against real name policy on Youtube are now on the front page of HN. All submitted within 24 hours. /s

And now lets look at this article again. One of the worst pieces of journalism about the Google+ policy, written by a "outspoken and controversial author and journalist". Is the bit about 80 n-words in a comment relevant? Obviously not. Was it included in the article to argue that Google+ integration is bad and stir controversy? Certainly it was! The quality of the article is abysmal, offers no additional data or insights and is a linkbait bordering on spam.

But fine, lets look at some numbers: 120000 users signed a petition? Is it a significant number? Yep. Out of a billion youtube users? So that's about 0.00012. Put in perspective, this is absolutely nothing.
Since Adobe requires you to register before you can download one of their trials, I'd wager that a lot of them are completely throwaway, or just lifted from bugmenot or whatever.

That's a very strange interpretation to me.

So why would saying G+ > users imply that the value of users is small?
I imagine because 'doing shots with your boss is a sexual thing and a dumb idea, and someone kissing you is an unwelcome advance but not assault' is a point that resonated with a lot of people.

'Kissing your subordinate at work' is also a dumb idea, of course. But, from reading the reports of the other people there, this was an illegitimate accusation of sexual assault, and what amounted to a dumb guy who escalated an existing sexual situation doesn't deserve to have his life ruined.

The thread was shut down because it could cause a flamewar. That felt like a statement that the body shot girl's criminal accusations (yes, sexual assault is a crime) had merit but any discussion or counter argument did not.

The idea that saying both men and women should not create sexual situations in the workplace is not 'sexist'. Not is questioning an unmerited accusation of criminal behaviour.

Nope ... when I read the post, I read that he'd declared himself to be an enemy of a large group of minimum-wage, overworked employees of a company who's executives are simply maximizing profit. I'd be willing to bet they calculate how many people will be angry enough to quit flying and account for this churn in their projections.

These people have a high turn-over rate and absolutely no incentive to go beyond the company policy. My point was that "the best way to win is to not play the game".

EDIT: As I thought about this, I realized we're a bit insulated from the problem, but consider this scenario:

Prediksi Skor Rumania vs Yunani 20 November 2013 | Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2014
Prediksi Skor Rumania vs Yunani 20 November 2013 – Laga pada ajang Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2014 kembali bergulir. Dimana dengan jeda breaknya ajang kompetisi liga, kini memang semua laga beralih ke kompetisi Internasional. Kini tampaknya para pemain Rumania setidaknya harus bisa dalam mengambil sebuah sikap dalam laga leg kedua yang berlangsung di hadapan para pendukungnya sendiri. Dimana di leg pertama di kandang dari Yunani sendiri mereka sebelumnya harus di taklukkan dengan skor 3-1. Semua ini memang harus menjadi sebuah kerja keras dari mereka sendiri jika memang mereka masih menginginkan sebuah tempat untuk berlaga didalam ajang Piala Dunia 2014 tahun depan yang akan berlangsung di Brazil.

You're correct; to take advantage of the personal customs exemption for travelers you must carry the items in your luggage with you, not ship them separately. If you ship them, you might be deemed to be importing them, depending on the country's customs procedures (and even if you qualify for another exemption, they may be held in customs until you go fill out some paperwork to claim them).

Why do yo use JavaScript-Libraries like jQuery?
jQuery was released in January 2006. At this time, IE6 was the major browser at the market, so everything concerning to JavaScript was a bit messed-up with Microsoft specific stuff, Firefox market share was growing, the need for animations combined with CSS 2 came up etc. pp.

Today, we have our browsers in a who-is-most-standard-compliant-competition and a lot of nice new APIs with most of the basic ones even supported by IE 8, so most of them have higher backwards-compatibility than jQuery 2.x, which officially only supports IE >9.x.

So I asked me: For which reason are most of the web developers using jQuery? I mean: Selecting DOM elements isn't an argument, Element.querySelector should be faster. AJAX complexibility isn't an argument, ActiveXObject is dead since IE 7. Animations aren't an argument, CSS 3 is grown-up. Since ECMAScript 5, there's Array.prototype.forEach. Events can be easily handled by CustomEvent.

If you're interested in these native APIs called WebAPI, just take a visit to MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element.querySelector https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/element https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Node https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API (Everything at a glance)
Shipping luggage via FedEx or UPS is a good idea, but the costs can be prohibitive. I haven't looked recently, but the last time a coworker checked FedEx, it would have cost her more than her ticket price to ship her bag to her destination.

Plus I think you're missing the larger issue. The airline is charging for this service, and they didn't deliver. Just because their terms of service are crappy doesn't mean that the OP should have to endure bad service like this.
Bitcoin will have to change the mining hashing function (SHA-256) in 7 years.
No. If it enters the country by post, you'll have way more headaches than just using the airline.

Taxes - personal items? They DGAF, you'll probably pay more in taxes than your items cost;

Proof of local address - y'see, they can't release your items without you having proof of your local address where you reside, WTF.

AND if they lose your stuff you're just as f'ed (yeah, waiting 3 months to get your insurance is fun)...

So, no, shipping your stuff separately via international post is not a good option.
Why such a rant at all? If you can't change your job, change your job. Luckily for you, pairing shops are in the vast minority, I'd guess you'd have to go out of your way to find another one no matter where you live.

It's the same as any software practice: TDD, which form of typing, vim/emacs/IDE, OO, etc. Without solid measurable proof that it's best for your specific job/domain/team (basically impossible) it's all just preference anyway. And someone who hates OO is going to constantly find ways why OO is terrible.

So we gather into jobs and teams that all share the same religious faith on all the above mentioned. Interviews are basically the same as you get in any church: do you believe these core faiths about our doctrine, and are you cool? Great, you're in!

Shorting bitcoin sounds like very bad idea. If you're going to "invest" in Bitcoin, then going long term is definitely the way to go. Even if you invest say right now, but then Bitcoin drops to $300, it's best to keep it a year longer, and then watch it pass $1000 or whatever.

I wish there would be a simple tag system to classify the posts a bit. For example i am not interested in most startup posts but rather would just see only programming and technology related articles.

How many tags would be sufficient to classify most posts? Startup, marketing, programming, science, politics, ... That's actually a quite hard problem!

Yes, Ground is now guaranteed time-in-transit for both FedEx and UPS and they both have 1, 2, 3 day options.

Shipping an actual suitcase, however, is not financially viable.

Getting an account or using an association like USAA can cut your costs substantially for expedited but ground rates don't move as much.

Weird. I've never bought an international AA ticket, but I've bought a few on United and Delta with a foreign CC, and never had a problem with that. I wonder why AA isn't just doing whatever the other US-based airlines do? At the very least, they could find a way to reject purchase attempts up front if they aren't going to let them through.

I remember trying to buy some BTC on MtGox for fun, the last time the price crashed.

What an unspeakably horrible service. I thought I was in for hundreds of dollars over budget, but it turns out that not a single BTC was purchased at all.

I only intended to buy ~$50 worth, so I would only have earnt something like $200, but for the love of everything, stay the hell away from MtGox. It's insane how unprofessional they are.

I don't "want" a unique identifier; I don't mind having one, but I don't care having many. I already have different identifiers for different services owned by different companies, so why should I care that just because Youtube and Gmail happen to be owned by Google, it's an absolute necessity that I have the same identifier on both services?

I don't care and don't even need to know that Google search, Gmail and Youtube are owned by the same company; to me they are separate systems.

The "unique identifier" approach is solving a problem that does not exist.

Then, trying to force people to have a public "social" profile under their own legal name, under the cover of this non-problem, is just crazy and arrogant.

I think this is a massive exaggeration. The people who don't care about linking their accounts (like me) aren't filling up the front page of HN with "The google plus thing is fine I guess" stories. I don't care if they ask for my phone number, I've got an Android phone so the data is all already there, and I like the security of having it text me to check it's actually me signing in from some new computer.

I genuinely find the level of complaints embarrassing. I've seen someone call being asked to create a G+ account "sickening". Sickening. What an astonishing first world problem, that one of the worst things happening to them is being asked to sign up for a free account with a company you already have a free account with. The horror!

I guess if you're into Windows, setting up a web server actually _is_ a hassle to you. Rest assured that there are easier ways. If you simply want to use a web server for local sharing, forget about patching and "maintaining" the configuration. Just install it and you're done (or why not use the file:// URI scheme? I can't see any compelling reason not to in a non-interactive setup). As for maintaining the web application, well, only in the same sense you have to maintain your .NET application.

Also, pulling numbers out of nowhere isn't going to help your argument.
That's largely what I do.

I'd been remaining logged into Google pseudonymously much of the time in an incognito Chrome session. I'd occasionally hop onto my other Google accounts in another Chrome session, though by preference I'd stay logged out.

don't confuse being shy with being an introvert. Introversion has nothing to do with enjoying talking to people. it is actually about where you get your energy... for e.g do you feel exhausted after a day of social interactions and need alone time? or do you feel energized and are ready to hit the town? introverts would typically need aone time off to 'recharge'..
