I tried Onlive multiple time and I can play perfectly well even if I connect to a server hundred of KM away using wifi on my phone. Why can't I do the same on my own 1 gbit network at home? Yeah you won't achieve the best latency but it can't be worst than the latency to the servers of Onlive so it's more than perfect for me.

The DisplayPort idea is not bad, except that my ethernet cable are already placed and my TV can't connect to a DisplayPort.

People who consider themselves to be socially liberal actually think censorship is good.
>>Probably propaganda from the rich to keep their privileges.

Not probably. It's exactly that.
And to clarify - that's not saying I'll boycott bitbucket (although I hope they also take it down when it is brought to their attention). That's saying that GitHub is behaving in a way that I want to support, and a good way to support a company is by purchasing their products.
I have a hard time understanding why people enjoy shopping at costco. I have had a membership there in the past and did not like it. Its always lined up so you can't just pick up one or two things (I am sure this is by design), its very difficult to find items with no signs so you are forced to walk around the whole store (Again, im sure this is by design).

The amount of extra time it takes for my wife and I to buy groceries there easily costs more then any potential savings. I suspect it adds over an hour to our trip rather then buying from our local grocer. This doesn't even factor in the stress of driving there, finding parking etc. I think I will continue to walk to the closest store and pay a little more at the checkout.
GitHub is not society. I don't expect guarantees of freedom of speech or expression. I'd be disappointed if they took those things down, but I think it is well within their jurisdiction to decide what type of content they want to host. They don't want to be 4chan or reddit, they want to be a place where people can come to make and learn.
I don't know. I can't tell if the phenomenon of ageism in tech is under or overrated, but I do think that techies have the advantage of never truly being out of work, so long as they're hacking away at something.

In fact, older LTU workers could learn from the tech strategy of consulting and freelancing when "gaps" in their careers emerge. So long as you have something to show for it, such as a new skill or someone in your network that can raise their hand and say, "Oh yeah, she mentored me through this big project my company is working on" then you can help yourself out a bit.

I want to know how much of this is HR's fault. What the hell are they looking for, and why? Everyone admits this is a problem, but HR goes on as if they're oblivious to it. And then you read about how they're dismissing candidates that don't have an adequate social media presence, and you begin to wonder why on earth these goons run hiring.
Sure, however in the US there are already huge number of terrible low paid jobs. The balance of jobs is not right as it stands. I believe that Amazon has the resources to provide better jobs and should do so.

make a remote control with a mic with one button on it.

the altekaker (your grandma) presses the button and asks her television to do things.

the audio is matched against previous requests, or sent to a call centre with access to her command prompt.

they open skype and call the kid she wanted to call

bill is about the same as cable per month
OR for poor ppl, the audio can be sent to her grandson's phone and he can do whatever she asks and not be payed because he loves his grandma
But kids aren't consuming COD as art.

Maybe many many years from now we can appreciate it aesthetically, like we do some propagandic speeches, but right now it's very clear that COD drives a very certain message to the people who play it - but now I'm just repeating the article.
I think part of it is because people don't go there expecting to pick up one or two things -- you go to Costco to get a lot of things in bulk. For that, it is wonderful. Very good prices, wide aisles, heavily stocked, and free samples of food. Also the whole thing about them compensating and treating their employees well adds a lot.

I agree with your first sentence, but what's being said is troubling is the message that American military power should be unchecked.
As a woman, I'll be offended on my own behalf thank you very much.

Opposing the political theory of feminism is not misogyny.

CDMA also has optional timer-based registration, with intervals between ~12 sec and ~55 hours (depending on what the base station wants; search 3gpp2 C.S0005 for REG_PRD for the gory details), or the base station can send a Registration Request Order message (which does what you might expect) to the phone of interest.
This is my brand new project: http://metrics11.com/ It helps you find profitable keywords niches you can use on your site to get free traffic from Google. It shows you how many people search for given term per month in chosen country, what is competition for that term, and other metrics like trends or domains availability. We focus mostly on competitors metrics. I think it is the most comprehensive keyword research tool on the market right now. Try the demo on the front page.
I think you're misguided here, the most difficult to handle truth has to be written in a book. Movies are not good at explaining real things because they focus on short snippets of life, and direct knowledge do not scale.

For example truth about something like cultural revolution in China or religious wars in Europe is likely best conveyed in books.

Maybe when a truth is so bad it cannot be written then it has to be sung, or hummed, and music would be the deepest and most reptilian way to keep memories.
Godus has those very issues.
Larry Page is an INFJ. Definitely a feeler. Sergey is either an INFP or an ISFP. If he ended up an INTP, then I suppose I could believe it. Steve Jobs is probably an ENTP (and a clear narcissist).
FYI, her name is Catharine MacKinnon. You may wish to learn how to spell it, and then maybe read her papers again.

Also, I am always a bit stunned by comedians and other performers who encourage censorship of speech they dislike. That goes double for comedians speaking for groups that have been traditionally marginalized by society.
Um, yes, it's possible. SteamOS is an open-source Debian fork. The only thing proprietary in the whole package is the Steam client itself, which you aren't at all required to leave installed.
Do you also hope that libraries remove books you don't like?
I was hoping for a few replies as well as I'm really struggling to find anyone in a similar position that's gone through it. To answer your question, yes, I'm full time and have been working on it for almost 18 months. Bootstrapped with all my savings and some family money.
There are lots of things which have been alleged to be "divisive and hurtful" in the world. Should all of those be removed from GitHub (including Github Pages)?

As an example, take former congressman Todd Akin. He opined some pretty ridiculous opinions about biology and "legitimate rape". Many found those opinions divisive and hurtful. Suppose that he set up a Github Pages account to use for a hypothetical 2014 election campaign, and repeated his opinion on that site. Should GitHub take his site down on principle as well? How about if he didn't repeat that particular opinion, but did post information supporting the same policies that he supported as a result of that opinion?
Good question. I started http://introtopython.org after watching my students be unsuccessful in most of the existing courses. They need a little more direction than LPTHW offers, and they aren't quite ready to keep pace with a Coursera or Udacity course. Some of the key features of introtopython:

- It is completely open source. This offers a number of advantages, that I'd be happy to specify.

- It starts with no assumption of prior knowledge. When introtopython is mature, someone who has just heard of Python should be able to install Python on their own system, and start working through the lessons and exercises, and progress straight through to the Projects.

- It has a short series of Exercises and Challenges after each new topic. As these grow in number and quality, there should be room for people who need more practice on each topic to progress slowly through the topics, while students who learn faster can progress at their own pace.

- As the collection of projects grows, the site can be useful to more experienced programmers as well. I am looking forward to writing a section on Django. Someone who already knows Python but hasn't used Django might find just the writeup on Django really useful. A better example might be the Basemap example that has already been written. If you know Python but haven't used matplotlib or Basemap, you might really like this writeup: http://introtopython.org/visualization_earthquakes.html

No they haven't. They've only violated our natural right to freedom of expression. The Constitutional part of our right to freedom of expression only applies to government control of that right.
Yes, I'm aware of them, thanks! :) I'm interested in hearing more from other people as well. I'm not looking for any ideas to go after myself - I'm currently busy enough with uni and a startup job - but always love hearing ideas like these!

Why would this be limited to Steam? I bought a game on the PSN Store that wasn't even playable. I asked for a refund and didn't get it.

This single comment really messes up the whole HN comments page by making it really wide. Someone should fix the CSS.

I kind of had a personal epiphany of an analogy: eating empty calories makes you fat, so having empty "friendships" on something like Facebook makes you socially inept.

So, I deleted half of my Facebook friends--anyone I haven't talked to directly in the last 6 months got axed. Some of those people were even extended family members. There is nothing my redneck cousins have to say that I need to be reading. I'd quit completely but it has lately served a significant purpose for coordinating meat-space socializing; apparently most people have forgotten how to email. I only check HN once a day, and I only open technical articles now. No more news site trawling, and no more politics. No more Facebook and Tumblr on the phone, only on a real computer.

It's helped a lot.
If you're going to criticize a website, at least spell "existence" correctly.

Maybe require that code is posted to GitHub... but then there's open/close source problem.

The whole idea behing LD is to improve and motivate yourself. There are no rewards. If you're cheating, you are not cheating anyone else but yourself.
You're right. And I'm disappointed with myself, for being baited into making precisely the sort of joke that pissed me off in the first place, hence the comment deletion. But I'm also so upset that the rest of my workday is shot. Spelling? Definitely out.

Who cares if something is rude. Rudeness shouldn't be the deciding factor for taking something down.

Is it rude to name your program/repo god[1]?

Is it rude to use foul language[2]?

Is it rude to write code in something that isn't ruby?

Who decides whats rude enough to be taken down and what isn't? Why should I believe my text is safe when someone found another text rude enough to be taken down.

Well, just because someone gets on stage and tells jokes doesn't mean they're a comedian.
Okay...

First of all, children are not actively engaged with media. They can appreciate art, but for the most part they are not having a conversation with what they consume, so, yes, we should be aware of what they consume, because, again, they do not consume like we do.

Second, I don't think we should ban Call of Duty. I think we should shame the executives responsible out of the industry and set the developers right or not work with them. However my opinion would be different if the games were less vulgar/parents had better control over them.

It is a concern either way. His point seemed to be that if it were hosted by an EU entity, then at least it would be bound by EU data privacy laws. I'm not super familiar, but I think those are more strict than US privacy laws, for whatever that's worth.

The governments will be spying either way though, so I personally don't think it's much of a difference.
I think their offense (and yours) is laughable, but keep in mind that mens issues are largely ignored by most people, including men, and feminists who claim to be fighting for gender equality.

Women taking offense, just in the tech industry over the past 2 years alone has 'accomplished' quite a lot. Here's a few:

-Gotten a man fired from his job (Adria Richards)
-Raised $160,000 in exchange for a series of youtube videos on video games made from other youtube videos by a woman who has admitted she isn't a gamer (Anita Sarkeesian)
-Gotten a repo on github taken down (This whole Feminist Software Foundation thing)

And who knows what else?

Do you honestly think that men taking offense carries as much weight?
So many men are willing to bend to your every whim, just because they think you being a woman makes you less capable, and if that isn't sexism, then I don't know what is.
Why do you think that a country with more taxpayers has more money for "trappings"?

"The trappings" are essentially a fixed cost at any scale of country.

Let's say you need a palace, a security detail, a motorcade, and a jet to have all of "the trappings" for the ruling family. If you assign some costs to these things, say $500k/yr for the palace, $1mm/yr for security, $500k/yr for motorcade, and $10mm/yr for the jet, you can figure out the annual cost -- $12mm/year in this example. So in a country with only 3.3 million people, that's $3.60/citizen/year for the ruling family to have their trappings. In a country with 310 million people, that would only be $0.038/citizen/year.

Even if you need more security, or a bigger motorcade, or a more expensive plane, you're still on the magnitude of pennies/person/year instead of dollars/person/year.
2 things - no way in hell richard stallman would create a hackernews account (and definitely not 30 minutes ago).

second - Your attempt at a straw man argument with equitating the vitrio that 4chan generates into something worth defending as freedom of speech in order to discriminate an entire group of the population is absurd.

What 4chan did was pretty much make the equivalent of racial hate speech from the 60's against women. They might as well have told all the female programers to go back to the kitchen and code in there.

You cannot use the constitution to defend hate speech. What classifies as hate speech is open to debate.
I've never had to use visitors in my compiler implementations; abstract methods + overrides is good enough; I also use partial classes in C# heavily even those these don't support separate compilation. I also dislike callbacks also, but control flow in general is abstracted away by a flow analysis framework of some sort anyways (technically you don't need this for parsing, but it works well for the systems I build). On the other hand, scalac is just a giant pattern match in Typers and Namers, a style I dislike but to each his own.

I've built a live programming environment where reactive mutable collections are much more appropriate than immutable persistent collections, you can check it out here:

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/smcdirm/liveprogr...

The problem with immutable collections in general is that they completely cannot track change deltas, which is necessary when building an incremental systems. Undo is also essential for these kinds of systems. I think persistent collections are a dead end, but its an argument I'll have to work on over the next few years.

Interesting question. A library, not so much, as I see them as having an archival function - if it exists, it can be recorded for posterity, and the library does not exist to provide a financial benefit to the writers. A bookstore? Hell yea I'd give them my money if they refused to stock KKK or MRA literature, or hold an MRA bookclub meeting. Selling those books supports the poisonous assholes who write them, just like providing a space for these jerks to do their stupid performance art supports them. If it's easy to do, I will avoid giving people money that they will turn around and give to someone I don't want to support.
From what my friends on the edge of the space industry tell me, the Blue Origin and ULA bids and protests on this pad are nothing more than a series of attempts to throw up roadblocks for SpaceX.

For background, the pad in question is one of two Apollo/Shuttle pads. These two pads were designed for bigger rockets than any currently flying in the world. NASA is keeping the other pad not up for bid for it's far future SLS system.

ULA is Lockheed/Boeing. ULA currently does all US military launches (outside of the small stuff Orbital Sciences puts up). Neither ULA nor Blue Origin have current or publicly known future vehicles that would need this huge pad.

The theory is that by going to congress to force NASA to make this a shared pad, SpaceX's competitors hope to make the pad all but unusable by SpaceX. If the pad must be shared, all improvements must be run by all of the other's that are "sharing" the pad. Launch times and schedules must also be run by competitors. In addition, everything installed by SpaceX would need to be potentially uninstalled, if a competitor requested the pad for some reason.
