I've been making websites for 16 years to the day when my mom got us the internet for my birthday. I opened up the internet tab on AOL, had no idea what to type, but learned that I could do it myself.

Surveys where you have very enthusiastic first adopters tend to report well. Car purchases driven by emotion rate very different than do those based on need. Hence buyers of V8 Chargers feel much better about their cars than those who buy Versas. When you have financial freedom to buy what you want you tend to overlook issues.

Top that off with the general positive response of hybrid and TDI owners and honesty I was surprised the S didn't get 100.

Not saying that it doesn't deserve its high score, but lets be honest, unless it was just Fisker dreadful how could overly enthusiastic early adopters rate it anything short of perfect?

Tackle Complexity in Typescript apps with TSMC
TSMC allows you to configure the modules and submodules (as well as their inner dependencies) you want to get out of your library/app and compile them giving you separately packaged modules and submodules.

Let's say you have a modals module, inside your ui namespace which is one of many namespaces inside your awesomejs lib. Driven by your config, tsmc will give you a awesomejs-ui-modals.js, an awesomejs-ui.js (which contains everything inside ui, including modals) and a awesomejs.js (which includes ui and everything else). For each package it will also give you a declaration (.d.ts) file and a sourcemap (.js.map) file. AFAIK, this is the best way available to have your source code compiled into a big combine package as well as fine grained modules.

>> Technically, we give up some of our rights to the state; the right to enter into a state of war, for example

No one ever asked me, and no one ever asked you either. Is it reasonable to think you've agreed to "give up" some of your rights when no one ever asked you? What about taxes? Can you be considered to have consented to taxation when no one ever asked you, and when you're taxed by force anyway - it's as if no one wanted to be taxed!

Not only that, but can you give up your rights?

In the context of Music, which I understand better than the visual arts, imitation is what a young composer or musician will do. Once they develop their own voice, 'stealing' becomes a thing of great skill: remixing, as it were. In Stravinsky's case, he lifted content from Webern and made it new. Bartok did it with Shostakovich who did it in turn to Tchaikovsky and on and on and circularly.. one of the wonders of studying musical history is tracing the influences, and the mastery of those who took what came before them and made it new.
I'm invincible to these schemes, I play Eve Online. Go into a random trade hub and you get people shouting SEND ME E-MONEY AND I'LL DOUBLE IT!

They link to a 'public' API showing that player's financial transactions over time, giving 'proof' that what he claims is legit. And for low quantities, it works too - to build trust, of course. But when the scammed sends over a large quantity of money, the scammer will add that to the 'API page' and claim the user's trying to scam him or there's supposedly a technical problem, or something.

In this case, the scammer could improve by linking to a 'transaction log' online, and by offering to double someone's small amounts of bitcoin. With the current rates, that'd have to be like 0.01 BTC ($7). Those would be used to lure people in, going OMG IT WORKS, until they transfer, say, 10 BTC, after which the scammer simply doesn't return the money.

At the current exchange rate, they would be losing ~$1400 USD to 'clean' $700. Nobody launders money at such a drastic loss.

> But that's bad, right?

I should hope not. I'm trying to think of a situation where a developer wants to document a process (ANY process. In this case: building a profitable product) and it would be considered "bad".

> That's why success-story books sell, but you don't see a lot of "will-try-to-do" books.

This is a blog, not a book. Will-try-to-do blog posts are incredibly healthy exercises for the author/do'er and usually provide helpful content for the readers (if the author follows through and documents his or her thought process).

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here, and (to me) your comments and tone sound dismissive. This fellow has nothing to sell -- it's an exciting endeavor that the author wants to document.

What? Unless the entirety of your information about the AppleTV comes from Cory Doctorow posts, you know that the only places DRM comes into the picture are when streaming pre-existing content from premium sources (iTunes Store, Netflix, Hulu).

There's absolutely nothing stopping you from loading a DRM-free h.264 file on another one of your Apple devices and streaming that over AirPlay. And HTML5 video in Mobile Safari works beautifully.
Chromecast supports Netflix and HBO GO (as of about an hour ago, with the latest app update) so not great examples.
EDIT
I'll leave my post as two people were kind enough to point out that I was just flat out wrong.

I had originally thought that the below post was a parody. I'm told it wasn't, though in my defense it definitely reads like a parody... I mean the perfect cutlery... the most meaningless item in anyone's house??

This reminds me of another parody post here a while ago about someone who said they'd bought the perfect cutlery.

They went a bit further and beat the joke to death talking about the difference between several cutlery sets. It was bit better because it started out with some good points bout optimizing your life and buying the best and then it jumped into how to buy what is probably the least important thing in anyone life...cutlery

I think this hacking your life is starting to jump the shark:)

Here is the other parody post:

It makes perfect sense -- but only if you look at it objectively. The speculators will trade on the hourly waxing and waning exchange rates, but the savers will look at 52-week moving averages.

If you judge BTC simply by the latter, and have the patience for re-evaluating your BTC finances annually or bi-annually, then you'd be in a pretty good spot.

Sure it fluctuates an uncomfortable amount on a regular basis, but it's a fairly consistent trend otherwise.

Hashcash is actually used by some spamfilters, but not as a sole determining factor. For legit services like MaichChimp, they could be whitelisted (so always clear spam filters) or they can get a bonus to their rating (negative? whichever way would make it less likely to get marked as spam) and then determined to be spam on its contents rather than the absence of a Hashcash value.
I like enriched-mode for simple markup purposes, like bolding headers. It's nothing spectacular, but makes an on-screen document that much more readable, and it doesn't add that much bulk to a text file, just a few extra markup directives.

It's easy to use, too. Select the text, ALT-o b
= bold, and so forth.

Still, a true WYSIWYG editing mode would be cool once in a while. Although, it's not that much trouble to select text and paste into a nearby LibreOffice window for true formatting.

I found it awfully dehumanizing of the "females" in the narrative. Maybe I just don't get the joke.

Pro-tip: It's rarely idiomatic English to call someone "a female," unless you're purposefully trying to compare her to an animal.[1] Female is a species-neutral term (like "breeding"). When talking about humans, it's proper to use the anthropic term "woman."

[1] My observation is that women refer to men as "male" much less often than the reverse, but when they do they often intend the comparison to animals.

What baffles me is that every TV sold today already has a wireless DTV receiver built into it! You know, that one that you can hook rabbit ears to, and the one so few people actually use.

Can someone please explain to me why no one builds transmitters for these?
Not surprising. The knocks against Tesla are generally reasons why people don't want to buy them (price, range). A survey of people who already bought them avoids those issues.

Also, the guys chanting DLNA, does that work on other things than windows? I've never heard of it, so, have little knowledge of it. Also, I will take a stab in the dark and guess the muliple monitors part and sharing your screen on others computers isn't quite a thing of DLNA...

Stallman lacks a coherent vision. He has an end goal but he really doesn't have a great plan to get there. It's really frustrating. Emacs could be a lot better. For instance, it has taken forever to get a high-performance Lisp working inside of Emacs. I think Guile is partly there?

Anyway, since we'll all be long dead before his plan starts to work, I think the better solution is to support inexpensive software. For example, I pay for Sublime Text. Recently I bought PixelMator and Sketch, and I'm planning on learning how to use them soon. :-)

Sure it would be great if Free Software ruled but faster change comes with a paid ecosystem. The real problem was that software was expensive. If it's simply inexpensive, we'll get most of what we need.

It was very dehumanizing, and I think (hope) that was the entire point.

I'm also surprised about how often I see English-speakers talk about "females" rather than "women". I vaguely suspect that might say something profound about an aspect of American culture that's deeply wrong about how it views women.
> he market is really killing them for their current earnings report, and for the statistically insignificant fires.

To be honest I think we are actually seeing more capital gain realization( selling for a profit) than the other two items you mention.

You have to remember that the stock has had a huge run up from $20 in Feb to a peakof $180. Alot of people have made some large non realized gains.

Selling at a time like this is to be expected. Especially near year end for tax purposes.
Yeah; the implication is there that women are mundane. E.g. No mention of what happens when his robot is met by her robot for instance. How would the neural link be made then? Would they even need to book an airbnb? Couldn't they exchange neural feeds right there in the restaurant?

This is _highly_ misleading. The actual number of nodes that they're measuring is 11,664, which is a sudden increase from a slowly declining level of about 4,400 as of a month ago.

The 196,123 number is a count of the number of distinct IP addresses being rumored between nodes. Most of them are never working garbage sent into the network by confused software, misguided would-be DOS attackers, etc.

I'm somewhat curious to know if this could possibly be a Raspberry Pi-ish solution?

Because that hardware uses an ARM processor and has 512 MB RAM just like the Raspberry Pi model B. Also, I think the Pi is able to achieve the same thing already - Just connect your Pi to the TV (which can have a HDMI/Video In/DVI) and stream what you want from your PC. It would be interesting to see if the software they provide would run on my Pi out of the box. If it does, then I think I can somehow integrate the Pi into my 3 year old Bravio without any fuss and enjoy wireless streaming with the software these guys provide. All in all, a very good effort guys :)
Yes.. That is kind of crazy. Why is it all of a sudden on HN?
I've always been intrigued with how many people treat IPs as "real".

For my part, I'm always in the mindset of "Whatever. If something in fiction isn't conclusive, then the existence of an answer is simply not there and completely irrelevant."

Meanwhile, I see a lot of people whose wording implies they think questions about fictional details are entirely consequential (to their lives.)

Merely some musing as a result of some of the answers the question got.

That defeats the purpose.

I think the whole point of a warrant canary is that you have to do something, every week/month, to confirm that you never had to obey a warrant. And (presumably, I don't think it has been tried in courts yet) a gag order can prevent you to speak about a warrant, but it can't force you to do anything, including actively saying that you didn't receive anything.

If it's automated.. the gag order prevents you to stop it, so it might as well not be there.
