Oh oh! Did you really just say "A few people continued to RAG me about it"? I know you think you are very language sensitive and not a mysoginst. But to use the word RAG!

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rag

So how do you plan to repent! First beg for forgiveness until everyone agrees you have begged enough. Second make some pledge for the future. Of course you will never use that word again but how about donating money to a charity or hiring some women. Third and most important think twice before you accuse anyone ever again of saying something offensive because it might have been a simple mistake.

Maybe we could all be a little more gracious and assume the best of our fellow human beings. I think life could be a lot more pleasant for all of us. We might even be able to get more good done too.
Data As A Company’s Secret Weapon
Huh? Are you even remotely aware of what's going on?

I wonder, will there be a laptop analogue of Phoneblocks?
who do you think is being manipulated? Statements like that are useless without some elaboration.
The same system is used in Hong Kong. Trains rock up to fully enclosed stations (even for above ground) behind a perspex barrier. Doors line up with the doors in the perspex and both open at the same time.
Me. Right here. I am a woman and while I can obviously recognize that it is a joke, seeing these "jokes" everywhere is literally the worst part of my day. Reading tech news, browsing this site, and on every other technology related site, 10+ times every day I am inundated with these hilarious "jokes" implicitly suggesting that this community, this interest, is for a specific group of people that I am not, and will never be, a part of. It sucks. Like others are saying, it's not that I can't recognize it as a joke or that I feel "offended," it's just simply exclusionary.

Actually, it's not even exclusionary by itself. Which is probably why so many people can't recognize this issue. It's the fact that I wade through DOZENS of these types of things every day, and they all add up.
Same here. It's like no-one can think for themselves.
Whoever is calling the shots over at instragram needs to be fired for not spending the hour or so of engineering time required to make instragram photos 'ephemeral' when the app first came out. It's basically an anti-feature. I knew I should have patented not saving data back in the day.
You really think that this is just something that people "maybe, kindof. You know. In theory." might be offended about? To me, this is on par with the titstare fiasco. Seriously, people. Grow up and get a life. Not everyone in the world is a "bro".
Stunning photography.

What I see here is large scale destruction of presumably their city by it's citizens. I don't see how anything good can come out of mass hysteria and destruction.

Edit... I don't believe for a moment and based on numerous other reports in the media, that assertions about peacefulness of this protest are true or represent anything but something that poster would like to be. Doesn't sound likely and no-one else is reporting it, so most likely is wishful thinking.
An ex of mine's uncle worked for 40 years as a track engineer for a railway company in Tokyo. There, the trains cannot be stopped for any longer than absolutely necessary, and the engineers were/are frequently called out to inspect and help clean up the track, with a claw-type pick-up tool and a bucket. Hit at 100kph and go under the wheels - it can be very messy. And I'm not talking once or twice here, it happened several times a year.

It's possibly even worse being the driver, but it always struck me what an utterly horrific job that must be and wondering what stress-related illnesses it would produce in the affected employees.

edit: I should clarify that any large body parts are collected by the police or medical personnel. The engineer's job is to certify the integrity of the track and clear it of foreign matter, washing it down too if necessary.
> Following SEGA footsteps. SEGA is still around.

Sega lost all of its influence and talent during the transition to software publisher. They hoped they will become #1 gaming software company but that never happened. Most of their gaming brands (Sonic the Hedgehog and others) took a masssive nosedive in quality or are abandoned, and new brands (like Aliens or Binary Domain) have failed. Sega is still around but it is a mere shadow of its former self. I'd prefer Nintendo to keep taking a gamble instead of giving up like Sega.
At the same time though, peaceful protests only go that far.
That is very hard to believe :) and naive assertion, all reports point out to very aggressive 'protesters' that attack security forces to provoke their reaction and that whole nature of protest is changing towards violence and aggression.
Wow. There is value in a service because it enables meaningless communication. Is this what it's come to?

Err, it has always been thus. Even non-human social animals like chimpanzees use "meaningless communication" to reinforce social bonds.

How about actually taking time to visit with people and talk to them? How about having actual experiences with them? Do these capture core emotions? What is this idea that every human or social function has to have an app or be captured in a product (and monetized)? Why does the act of filling our human needs require interception and redirection for the sake of profit?

What gives you the right to be so judgemental? In the 19th century people thought civilisation was built letter writing, and latter the telephone call.

Communication is the essence of society, and that communication can take many forms. Daring to impose your own views of how communication should be done is to attempt to impose your own view of society on others.

Also: HN. Internet Forum. Why exactly aren't we taking time to visit with people and talk[ing]?
A lot of what seems to be grassroots could be aided, and perhaps even orchestrated, by sophisticated groups with a political agenda, e.g. the CIA.

It would only take around 10-20 bloggers to create the illusion that the majority people in the country felt a certain way.

EDIT: and nowadays, they wouldn't just blog, they would post to Reddit, and maybe even HN.
I did, a few months ago. Booted both Fedora 19 and 20 Beta on a 2012 13" rMBP. Worked decently well, especially with how the version of Gnome included in F20 knows how to properly deal with high DPI displays.
Did you read the whole post? It actually seems relatively organized and non-destructive—not a single window broken, according to the report.

For now, it sounds like everyone is united against the Berkut. I'd hardly call it hysteria.
From TFA:

3. "The entire Kiev is paralyzed, there is no peaceful life for the regular people."

Kiev is living its own life. All stores and cafes are working, people are going to work, study in universities, get married, divorce and even die their own death. Most of the Kiev populace are not inconvenienced. Imagine if Navalny took over the Red Square and set up his camp there. What would change for you, Moscovites? Nothing. So the only people who are inconvenienced are toruists. A few stores and cafes had to close down in the very center. Also, those living in the center have troubles with logistics. But the entire Kiev is not paralyzed.

So, no, the city isn't being destroyed. (At least not yet.)
That was it! It was a magical place. Thank you.
Right. I think that "violence is never the answer!" is a very first-world perspective.
You didn't read the commentary at all, did you?
Incredibly minimal damage, no 'mass hysteria' at all.
Ignore the ads? Why the heck are there ads? Why aren't you being responsible and using Adblock?
True enough. But my extended social circle includes a number of people of Ukrainian nationality and/or descent. Everything I've heard from them (which is, granted, not a lot; I haven't been tracking these events terribly actively, let alone vis-à-vis their perspectives) tends to corroborate what I'm seeing in this blog post, at least.
Sorry, I think I'm dumb today.

They offer nil in the way of progress, yet act like they are all about progress.

What does this mean?

and will sell your info later through meta tags

What does through meta tags mean?

They should shut down their service, take the money they have, and make something that improves the world.

Communication doesn't improve the world? Why not?

We don't really need another leech, or a shell vehicle for the rich to hedge in.

What's the hedge here?

This post sort of nearly makes sense, but doesn't quite. Is it generated by a Markov chain?
They've already lost Moldavia recently, and didn't they lose Georgia, too? I don't think they can keep them under control much longer.
Very high buzzword/sentence ratio.

How is this conceptually different than, say, RetroShare?

edit: also, you keep comparing to DropBox, however, I can't find the crucial info - are the data saved somewhere outside the computer or not? If not, why the comparisons with DropBox?
I guess I'd better become a citizen journalist to counteract it, then.
I can still increase the followers count ...
The protesters are manipulated into thinking that joining EU and getting rid of Yanukovich is somehow the first step to prosperity... And the blogosphere is manipulated into buying this as some kind of completely spontaneous grass roots movement. Sure people want change.. But this is bankrolled elsewhere.. I bet it wasn't that expensive either.
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - John F. Kennedy

You'd think oppressive leaders would learn that lesson by now. But no, it seems we're more likely doomed to repeat it in cycles, over and over again. I wonder what those politicians who come up with the idea of "hey, let's make protesting virtually impossible. That will all our problems!".

They need to understand that protesting is that an effect of a cause. If the cause isn't fixed, those issues and frustrations the people have won't just go away. They will build up, until they explode.
Tire burning is not really large scale destruction. From the livejournal entry:

1."They destroyed the whole city"

Not true. All of the action you see in the pictures are happening on a small square near the entrance to a Dinamo stadium. This is a government sector, there is no intereference in peaceful life outside of this area. If you make an analogy with Moscow, imagine that the barricades are someone in the area of Ilinka or Varvarka, near the president's administration. Sure, it's the center, but regular Moscovites wouldn't notice. There is dark smoke and fire on all pictures: those are mostly burning tires. There is not tangible damage to the buildings. Unfortunately one store burned down last night near the barricades, resulted from a poorly thrown molotov cocktail. Even the statue of Lobanovsky, located in the epicenter of fighting has been covered with cloth to prevent damage. Overall, the protesters are very careful regarding property. They've take apart fences and benches, but no windows are broken, noone is vandalizing, and all looters are caught and beaten. So the picture is pretty apocalyptic, but things are not so bad.

I do! But that's not available in CS, right?
I'm a bit uninformed; is there any recent precedent for a revolt like this succeeding? Honestly I'm a little skeptical that a revolution of this sort could ultimately defeat a vastly better-funded power without overwhelming popular support.
> Bro is associated with obnoxious, stupid, despicable, disrespectful.

This sounds a hell of a lot more like an issue with you vs an issue with the term. When I think of 'bro', I think of the short form of calling someone brother endearingly. I wasn't even aware of the frat context until a few years ago. Hell, even within the frat context, it's not necessary "obvnoxious, stupid, despicable, disrespectful", it's just a young guy who's part of the party culture that's associated with college, at least in the US.
Hey,

I gather that you describe yourself as a feminist. I would assume that means that you do not think highly of MRAs? If so, have you have watched this:

Wouldn't it be a good idea to watch this video to the very end to develop more and better ways of arguing against them and their 'crazy' ideas?
They're losing a lot of the political clout they held over their former puppets. The Baltic states have been making closer and closer ties to the eurozone as well, along with Romania, etc. The Ukraine feels very much like a last stand of Russia, which may explain why they're placing so much pressure on the heads of government there.
It's worse than that. The processor might support VT-d, but your motherboard chipset also has to support it. Even then, you might get a BIOS that doesn't expose the necessary information. All of these things are subject to market segmentation and other such unpleasantness.

In the end, unless you can coerce a DMAR table out of the machine, I'm not sure how you can tell if the thing actually supports VT-d.

The post actually contradicts itself in many different ways and therefore I don't think the prescription can cure Nintendo at all.

1) I agree that Pokemon on smartphones will definitely be a hit, but I am very skeptical of Nintendo's capability to execute well against that particular platform. Mobile gaming is a very different beast from the packaged goods console gaming space in which Nintendo is currently comfortable. They not only lack the experience and expertise, but more fundamentally lack the willingness to adopt a new platform. This is actually a common trait among almost all established game publishers such as Activision and Ubisoft. I highly doubt an iOS Pokemon would be the success it needs to be.

2) Handheld is a declining market. Period. Continuing making handhelds is not going to dig Nintendo out of the hole they are already in. Putting Pokemon on iOS would definitely not help, as the franchise is likely the biggest hardware mover for them. This is where the original post contradicts itself: doubling down on handheld while making a move on smartphones is a very bad idea.

3) Stop making home consoles and make titles available on rival consoles? Really? The post is simply suggesting Nintendo to castrate itself of a core competitive advantage of theirs. The level of disingenuousness is simply appalling.
Sadistic police brutality is a worldwide phenomenon, but the hospital billing the victim? On the same level of psychopathic behaviour if you ask me. Would the billing even be considered outside the US?
>This is were the attacker quickly power-cycles the computer to boot into another OS (or special purpose boot code), and performs a memory dump. Often times the power cycles quickly enough that useful amounts of data remain in the RAM. This attack can be made more effective if you can get physical access to the RAM and cool it.

Ugh, why is the simple-minded application of buzzwords so horribly prevalent in discussions of this nature. I honestly can't think of anything that exemplifies "derailing" more than posting links to Geek Feminism that are almost entirely irrelevant as part of a complaint about someone's comment.
He said it is targeted at the government and not that there was no violence at all. I personally don't have any problem with them attacking security forces when it is the security forces that initiated the violence to begin with.
No, I am fairly certain that we see similar things (you can never mean exactly same) and we understand each other.

These pictures represent violence and this is somehow reported as peaceful protest. I don't think people are 'sheep' but there is a lot of wishful thinking that we will accept this as reported and not try to reason ourselves.

Long-time lurker, just saw this post about my hometown so I created an account.

I have a tech business in St. Louis. I love living in St. Louis and will never live anywhere else.

A few comments:

It is extremely hard to hire\find good programmers. I've posted job ads on Dice and Craigslist, and received 2 or 3 replies. I don't think I received ONE reply from Dice. The replies you get are people that can't answer the most basic questions.

You will HAVE to use a recruiting firm that will try to poach the talent and you have to search out resumes. It will cost at least $50k for a programmer that can't even answer the most basic questions in an interview. Fortunately, I got very lucky and found one of the most kick-ass people on the planet.

In regards to East. St Louis, as other people mentioned, it is NOT in Missouri, it's in ILLINOIS. The only reason people in St Louis go to East St Louis is because the bars stop serving at 1:30 or 2AM. If you want to drink past that, everyone goes to East St. Louis. Either that, or to go to strip clubs. Given that, if it's a Friday or Saturday night, you'll see a bunch of other St Louisians over in East St Louis at Pops, or the Oz, or at strip clubs. It is definitely a bad area though. I've been to East St Louis many times and have never felt threatened.

The bad part of St Louis is North County. Unless you live there, the only reason to go there is for drugs. I've never been there, and as far as I know, you can't drink past 2AM there, and they don't have any strip clubs. I've driven by there many times, and I knew someone that worked in North County for years and never had any issues. It's like any other city, there are parts you don't want to venture through by yourself, late at night.

Unfortunately, I think most of the crime in both E St Louis, and North county, is local, black on black crime.

Downtown is somewhat desolate. If you want to live downtown, there are some cool areas like Soulard which is making a come back. Most people live in West County, South County, St Charles county, etc. I would never live downtown. Most of the action is outside of downtown. There are good sized office buildings in Clayton, West County, etc.

In the county areas, there are cops all over the place(which is a good thing). I've lived in a lot of places, and the bottom line is it's one of the safest places I've lived.

I read HN all the time, but don't know much about this start-up. Welcome to St. Louis though! As others mentioned, there are a lot of talented people here.
I'm scrapping this page right now into pocket. If it's worth archiving, it goes to Evernote afterwords.

The more important question is how I can archive to my home USB drive, aka personal cloud, with some ready to use page scrapping tool like Evernote's. This is my own knowledge graph, and I don't feel like pay anyone or rely on anyone else to maintain for me. Evernote and it's toolkit is almost everything I need, except it doesn't allow me to keep a backup on my own drive. When cloud becomes a obligation, it lost its charm.
Do you have a dog in this fight?

Read the post then if you disagree present some evidence. What "all reports"? Here's a balanced one that disagrees with your claim:

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/26/world/europe/ukrainian-pre...

By 'protestors' do you mean they are not protestors? If so what are they?

I suspect you get all your information from Russian government sources. Right?
It must always be the act, not merely a description of an act, for which you judge. Words are expression. Meaning must always be expressed, not simply fabricated.

In short, you can't imbue them with any prejudice that you yourself hold for a word. The word is theirs to use for its positive meaning. You cannot police this.

Some words have no positive meaning. This one does, please stay away.
This is NOT a new idea. This is just a feature-focused threshold system the same as using Kickstarter. There are also tons of feature focused sites.

Here's the exact same thing already: http://catincan.com/
There's also tons of bounty-style feature systems like http://www.freedomsponsors.org/

I could go on and on. There's no particular reason this variation is going to fail, but it's not new. The only thing notable is the no-fee for Open Source. The Bitcoin focus isn't even remarkable, because there's http://bitcoinstarter.com/

Oh, and the idea-validation is already inherent to crowdfunding. Anyway, I wish people didn't keep wheel reinventing all the time. At least recognize it.
I agree (see my other post in this thread). But I don't know much about Ukraine. It would be great if you would post a detailed analysis as a top level post.
Thank you. That's all; just thank you -- for putting in the work, for being willing to be wrong, for fighting the good fight. This stranger, at least, appreciates it.

One of the good things about discussions like this, is that it brings out the real dregs of the community. If not for posts like these, I might be naive enough to think the community really is a welcoming place for all people. But then I see things like "group of feminists, mostly consisting of marketers" and "now any girl with an iPhone can be one!"
Exactly. So why, in this day and age, would someone be stupid enough to name their new tool in that way? It's kinda hard to believe that whoever created this couldn't use a lesson in tact.
Given the character of the president as described here http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/maydan/maydan.... (by someone who's opinion I trust) I strongly doubt the man has the capability to learn anything, let alone lessons from history.
I really wish you would directly answer the question I've asked in several previous posts:

What is the window of time you feel confident predicting the average global temperature? Initially I asked about an average within 2014, but you implied from your ant analogy that was too small of a window. So, what is a reasonable window of time and what is the predicted value?
I wonder if somebody actually read EU treaty (reason for all this protests). Signing it would pretty much kill industry and criple agriculture at Ukraine.
