absolutely never buy chinese stocks, especially on the chinese stock markets. They all, every last one of them lie on their balance sheets. There is no morality in chinese business world, people will cheat their own family members to make some quick money, literally cheat their brothers, cousins etc. Insider trading is rampant, especially pump and dump schemes. There is virtually no regulation for insider trading and the few regulators that exist are easily paid off to turn a blind eye to what is going on. Unless you personally know an executive in the company you should not invest in any chinese company
Considering they recently rewrote/moved major services to node.js, that might actually be true this time.
The last 30 years of Chinese economic growth (fuelled by foreign investment) disagrees with you.

Put simply, how hard you work doesn't have a direct connection to wages or income.

I recommend reading http://steshaw.org/economics-in-one-lesson/contents.html
> ...labor is so important to a person’s identity and dignity and to societal stability

> ...lowering taxes on human labor to make it cheaper relative to digital labor

> ...guaranteeing every American a basic income

What all these say to me is a an unwillingness to actually advance the social dynamic that has been in place for 100s of the years. The hierarchy of serfdom.

Why when you have the possibility of removing drudge like work with automation would you actually want to actively retain it.

Why when a society of plenty is possible would you want to limit it's benefits for a few and give only a basic income to the rest.

Why would you try to define someone with a menial task when you could aim to help them bring more worth to society and themselves with a more fulfilling and beneficial activity.

Not saying there are easy answers to any these questions but trying to maintain the status quo is not an approach that benefits everyone.
An example would be details of the decision making process for who gets laid off during a downturn.

We know something about the hypothetical manager's decision making process: the typical manager would include the constraint that he should be excluded from the collection of employees to be laid off. An automated improvement on this algorithm would unlock tremendous benefits to principals, and in the case of publicly owned companies, to shareholders.
a hell of a lot of chrome extensions inject adverts and other tracking code into websites you visit, like Facebook and youtube. would you class those extensions as malware as well?
How I can make it go viral?
Congrats, its a big news.
The Economist needs to understand the difference experiencing happiness and remembering happiness. Behavioral economists have done years of research differentiating the two. It makes no sense to talk about happiness otherwise.

The incomes in the range of 60k - 70k (in US) beyond which happiness plateaus out is valid in the context of experiencing happiness. Its fair to say that middle income people would be unhappy when they think about the fact that they are not millionaires/billionaires, but they are not thinking about that most of the time, and during that time, they are just as happy as millionaires/billionaires.

The issue is basically that gasoline and diesel consumption was used as a proxy for travel miles in order to pay for road maintenance and the scale used to relate miles to gallons is no longer accurate even for gas-powered cars (as average economy has improved). Obviously electric cars are an easy first target, since passing a tax increase is much harder than targeting a small group.

They have a lot of existing and potential users. Roughly three times more than the US. And the thing is that there will come a point where they'll go from copying to actually innovating, just like Japan and South Korea did.
The term malware came about as an umbrella to cover viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, and adware. It made it much easier to explain to users what was going on, while still using words that make sense.
It does. I have the 2012 first macbook pro retina (bought it the day it came out for its 2880x1800 display back in June or July of 2012).

You need to be running Mavericks to use its native HDMI port. I am running the default version it came with (10.7.x) so it only works on the HDMI port under linux (which I primarily use on it) and Windows. That being said I use an Accel Active DP 1.1 -> HDMI 1.4 adapter which makes it work just fine even on older version of mac os X. Actually with that adapter you can use a lot of even much older macs to drive the seiki or any other 4k 30hz display.

The adapter:

The stories you told are true but just tell one side of things.

On the other side, nowadays big companies such as Sina, Tencent, 163(Netease formally) you mentioned and Alibaba, Baidu, among others all grew up from small startups without government connections at the beginning.

And more and more new startups are founded everyday, some of which will be very successful, just as in USA. Qunar and 58.com are the newest ones with market value of more than 3 bilion dollars.

As for content-based business, there are still room for startups. We have seen several new technology news websites emerging these days. Even user-generated content business is possible if you avoid risky political discussion.
Does anyone know of any text editors that have vertically spanning highlight bar to show clearly where your cursor x-position is from the bottom of the page up to the top? I think it would help with matching up indentation especially in CoffeeScript.

It's only FUD if it's manufactured. SSDs not being able to properly handle power outages is a problem for many of us. And even if you have a batter backup between your box and the mains, the UPS could still fail.

With generations of population growth, it will be the only country that can manage the crowded future.

Sorry, it's not clear to me what you mean. Do you mean with generations of population growth to come? But then what does that mean?

The truth is that China will gentrify so rapidly over the next 40 years (whole population aging and a generation of strict family planning resulting in too few to replace them), that if China wasn't industrialising and becoming wealthy as fast as it is, it would be destined to the 'has beens' of history due to an inability to care for it's aging.

India is the real future. An extremely young population, with an (arguably) high level of education, which will provide workers for the factories of the world once China is all out of cheap labour both through economic growth and population aging.
It's really really simple. Significant whitespace has no punctuation to visually queue the reader of the code as to where things begin and end. It is much easier to read Javascript than Coffeescript because well written Javascript includes curly brackets, and other delimiting characters to aid in reading the code.

Coffeescript and significant whitespace eschew delimiters for indentation and other gimmicks, and the end result is something that is more difficult to read.

I totally agree with the author on this fact. I only see a "wall of dense text" when I read coffeescript, and when I read Javascript it is much easier to parse.
I didn't, but I wasn't commenting argumentatively with you. Just because I replied to you doesn't mean I require your specific input.
Which is why you set your editor to use something other than the same number of spaces as your indent levels. It works especially well if one isn't a multiple of the other - e.g. having the editor display tabs as 5-space width.
I gave CoffeeScript a shot, and frankly I don't like these JS "wrapper" languages.

First of all if you want anyone else to help you with your code its likely that they don't know the wrapper's syntax and will have to waste a bunch of time learning it. My boss got super excited about it when it first came out and it just caused a lot of headache and wasted time. First I (and all my coworkers) had to learn the language, and then port all of our existing code to CoffeScript. And for what? Some syntax sugar?

Honestly, I don't really see any problems with Javascript's syntax. It's everything else.
Don't even watch the THRIVE stuff either unless you're fond of Egyptians communicating with extra-terrestrials and that kind of nonsense.

Dude, what are you talking about?

This is an iPhone (non-jailbroken.) Are you saying the official CoinBase app had a trojan? Or Authy, the most widely used 2FA app?

If you're actually curious what I think they should do, we could talk about it, but I don't think you care beyond blaming the victim.

What I don't understand is why you assume I MUST have done something wrong. Do you really think it's impossible that this was a weakness on their end?

If 110 million credit cards can be stolen from Target, maybe it's possible API keys can be stolen from CoinBase?
Misleading statements and ever changing goal posts. Sounds like Facebook to me.
All those numbers are very misleading. China has shit load of college grads because 90% of the universities are just diploma mills that you put in 4 years and you get your degree, there is almost no way to fail out. Most of those graduates cant even find jobs because they know nothing when they graduate.

The chinese stock market is a joke, there is little regulation, insider trading and pump and dump schemes are rampant.

All those apps have lots of user but many of them are bots. Companies will use bots to self promote and repost their shit. I have a weibo and have maybe 4 or 5 posts over the last year and have around a 1,000 follower almost all are bots who just repost everything i have posted. They are used to boost other people follower count to make them seem more popular and gain more legit followers, people call them zombies, they will follow random people just to make themselves seem more legit and not get deleted by the system.

The biggest hurdle in china is regulation. The Didi app got shutdown last year because they were allowing people to add tips to their request for taxi, i.e. you would say i need to go to x location i will give you 5 dollars extra if you are here in 5 minutes. This was declared illegal as taxi prices are set by the government and tipping the driver is considered an illegal bribe. They had to remove this feature before they were allowed to continue operation but it took weeks of them negotiating with the government before they could go back online. Apps like Momo are filled with hookers soliciting guys and other illicit activity.

Google play is actually not banned in china. It is just not the default app store for android phones and many providers have disabled the ability to install the play store on their phones. But if you have a compatible phone it works just fine. There may be so money being paid by other apps stores like baidu to make sure the google play store is hard to use in china.

This article is look at things with rose colored glasses. Things are not that great for startups in china. In fact if you dont have a large bank roll or good government connection chances are your chinese startup will be shutdown by some form of government intervention since the internet is so heavily regulated almost everything you do on the internet required special permission from the government
Wow, I had never thought of this, but it seems completely obvious now. I wish music players took advantage of this (rdio in particular) so that they would better signal what's playing.

Definitely something I will think of including in my next app.
Why do taxes have to be spread out everywhere?

Why not just have an income tax and sales tax, or maybe only one (I've heard arguments for both sides, but don't want to get into that debate) to cover all this?

It's the same thing with all the ridiculous fees governments charge for various things. For example, registering a vehicle at the DMV. Why does this cost anything? After all, your taxes already pay the salary of the person at the DMV, their office, etc. and the sales tax (in states that have it) paid on a vehicle purchase should take into account that the new owner will need to register it.

It's just a ridiculous way of "not really increasing" taxes.

Why Infinite-Scrolling in Mobile Apps is Destroying Content Consumption
If you flash the 39 inch with the firmware from the 50 inch it can do 120Hz at all resolutions 1920x1080 and below. I even give it 240Hz @ 720p even though it drops half the frames to reduce the input lag from around 9ms to 4.5ms.
I ran into this. I only found out because ecolink went down for a while. So when I clicked on google search results, it would error out while trying to redirect.

Valuable lesson learned. I never thought a chrome developer would be quite so stupid to pull something like this. Now I'll keep my eye on every extension.

And yes, you should never install Window Resizer, or anything else Ionut Botizan (the developer) releases again.
Smart comment, the very accessible REPL can inject some fun into development.
In their defense, it is a fairly different language. It's not something that most JS developers I've seen trying to learn it can pick up just from reading it; they have to look at the docs and then practice parsing/writing it and then look back at the docs, etc.

Hope Luke turns up ok, here's a story of someone local to me who disappeared but came back:

The point being (as Tom says in his story), if you feel alone - talk to someone. It's ok not to feel ok.
What do you have to potentially gain from it? More bodies, or minds, to "solve this massive problem"? That you can't acquire otherwise?

Any effort along these lines, beside poaching individuals, is going to consume a lot of energy; even if successful, the opportunity cost will be high and possibly fatal to your effort.

I'm also concerned by "They are in private, we less so." In my personal experience, as well as general observation, that's ... very bad, and also says something about each company's corporate culture. So given that there's a noticeable difference, it adds a potential for (more) friction in trying to meld your companies together.
This is an awesome feature and has been a long-time coming. The way they break down the stats too as a function of time and referral site is nice. It's located on the 'graphs page' of a repo for those interested.

However, for a feature like this it might be cool if they opened up this statistics for repos that you don't own. Or even better, the opportunity to enable this for others to see.
Anyone who has maintained Makefiles will also have a strong opinion on compiled languages.
Well it's about bloody time. I can't believe they took so long to implement such basic (and important) functionality.
I'll go ahead and back this point up also. The visual white space is actually making it harder to read the code.
When I was finishing my PhD in 1993, I told my advisor that I had received an industry job offer. I also mentioned this at interviews for two academic positions. The response of my advisor, and of interviewers, was along the lines of: "If you've got an industry job offer in this climate, why would you even consider applying for academic jobs?"

Whoa, wait. One guy in this thread is claiming that Window Resizer was sending all your keystrokes back to a central server based on what he saw in Wireshark. Can anyone else verify this? I've had this extension installed for...a year, at least. Do I need to now go change every single password on every site because chances are it's been keylogged? This is insane.
Not true. The older 2012 rMBP will do it fine too on newer versions of OS X or linux/windows. And that is just over the HDMI port. With a Active DP 1.1 -> HDMI 1.4 adapter even very old macs that have TB will run the display just fine.
Two reasons. The first, to which you allude, is that those who make the rules are trying to stay in their jobs. It's a symptom of democracy. The second is that these are all knobs one can turn to fine-tune incentives of behaviors; cost complexity isn't inherently bad.
Seems like you really have a lot of contrast in that theme. Also I hope you will consider dropping the extra parentheses.

And instead of dropping CoffeeScript I hope you will try out ToffeeScript. But just use the basic ! thing, you don't need the other stuff like auto callback.

Agreed. I've had Google plus "invite" people on my behalf without warning and I find it pretty creepy and annoying. I am not under the misapprehension that I have any legal cause against Google for this, but it definitely makes me completely uninterested in actually using Google plus. I initially thought it mightmake a good facebook replacement but they have completely screwed up enough aspects of it that I just can't imagine it ever succeeding.
"The $128k cap may seem limiting for the US but it is not for Nigeria or the other lower-income countries, yet they still show the same patterns."

And that's why the cap for Nigeria is at $8k...

In fact, as someone else has commented:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7047548

"According to the paper (page 13), they only look at incomes between the 10th and 90th percentiles. That's why they cut off at $128,000 for US residents"

In my opinion, ignoring data from the top 10% earners is the perfect way to get plots that seem to disprove a paradox that states "Become rich enough, and a bigger paycheque no longer leads to more happiness".
Yup, but they're slightly different than what I've listed:

- "All personal information created or shared by me would have to be coupled with this unique id." - I disagree. Only the existence of an account would have to be. Not even a "reference" to the content mentioned later in solutions. Such service doesn't have to care if the user stores pictures on a service - just the access rights of potential pictures.

- "This allows central access for intelligence agencies to know what I'm doing online" - they already know. This is neither making it worse nor better. The problem is that it would make scamming much easier and any password leak much more dangerous.

- "This would have to be a really popular opt-in for companies to maintain, or it would have to be the law." - I have to disagree again about the first part. The law is not possible, anyway. (which country's law? who does it apply to? who would be able to enforce it?) It doesn't require being popular, it needs an incentive why anyone would want to integrate - i.e. what does the provider get from it. If they don't get anything, there will be no interest. Integrating such service is probably more costly than doing it in-house.

So summing it up... I think such service would be actually bad for almost everyone really. (especially if anyone gets an idea about regulating it with law) A browser extension that manages popular services however could be interesting (and doesn't require any central authority)
