The specific rationale wouldn't be something one could really explain in less than a few pages for each of those.

Sure, but something should be said as to the reason for inclusion, if only to direct people as to were to get a better understanding.

As it is it reminds of the many "best of" lists (movies of all time, etc.) where some suspect or opaque selection process is used and the results put out as if the veracity is just to assumed. Great for starting conversations at parties, perhaps.

I am pretty sure that for most of the authors, however, a good Wikipedia entry will throw out a few sentences that give someone an idea.

I have roughly zero confidence in anything on Wikipedia that is not a matter of hard science. I'd much prefer a comment from a single person who admits biases upfront than the subtly distorted content of Wikipedia.
Russian mail struggles with that jump for 20 years at least.

You don't necessarily have to have a 'download source' button on your homepage; you could comply with the requirement in various other ways.
Smaller increases I might believe, but after watching buildouts rent above market (sometimes much more so) in around a dozen areas (and average prices continue to rise), I strongly suspect the simple micro econ story is wrong.

About Houston: is Iglesias the source for that? If not, where would I read more? and is the buildout preceeding reduced prices post 2008?
The question was "how do I add to ..." rather than "how do I earn (in total) ..."

... so in that case, are you ready to work 80 hour weeks? If you're thinking of adding a side-business on top of your day job than you really need to treat the side business as the second full-time job to hit the $100k mark, which is possible if you completely jettison all leisure and recreational activity from your schedule. Good luck.
How about their choice to develop the software how they like, and your choice whether to buy it or not!

They are not a monopoly. Other than patents they haven't been given any special privlidges to get where they are today. As long as YOU as a consumer do in fact have a choice, and you DO, you don't get to tell Apple how to build their products.

I think Apple is keenly aware of this, and they don't want to be a monopoly more than anyone, because having a minority market share gives them the freedom to bundle and integrate software which they otherwise would be prohibited from doing.
The unfortunate fact is that some of the people protesting have been the originators of the underlying causes via voting and legislation.
They seem to state that the only reason why euroassociation was cancelled is pressure from Russia.

Just wanted to note that there is another reason: he was afraid of damaging economy, especially economy of ukrainian east, which depends on manufacturing which will be disrupted by european goods flowing in.
The are not just trolling for Russia. LJ is really popular online platform for Putin's prpaganda, and a lot of people are getting paid for pro-Putin politic comments. Usually after third page the amount of such comments falls down considerably, probably they are being paid for with a lower rate.

Not even a bar complaint?
Nice, easy to use, really straightforward code. The only thing I would have done differently is make sleepy.Api implement http.Handler so that it would easily integrate with other libraries that build upon and play nicely with net/http.
That is a lovely looking case. Regardless of how impractical it might be as an OSX vehicle, it looks good.

Good work!
We have three layers of testing in our suite. Ill go from the bottom up (we happen to be a rails shop so use rspec + Capybara):

1. Model Tests: These are used to validate base business logic. This is for things like totaling up order values, making sure discounts are applying correctly, and making sure taxes are being correctly applied. These in my opinion are the tests you must have. If you're not validating your base business logic theres no way to prove your other testing suites are doing their job. These are done for both Ruby code (rspec) and Javascript code (using Jasmine)

2. Controller/API Tests: These are to validate that different parts of the business logic working together actually do what is intended. When a user places an order lots of things must happen (I need to charge them, I need to send them an email, etc.). These are done in rspec and are a nice way of validating things in an orchestration style API (vs. a REST style API).

3. Selenium/Acceptance Testing: These are super important. These actually automate what a real user is going to be doing on your site. We test both Admin and normal user flows. These are the easiest to write and give some of the biggest wins. These will catch bugs your users are actually going to encounter. Having model and controller tests for something like checkout are necessary but they must be augmented with acceptance tests or else you can't be sure something else isn't holding up your user from checking out.

Our entire test suite runs on CircleCI (love those guys) but could technically be run on almost any platform (we ran Jenkins for a bit too). Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any questions!
>> "Netflix will just be one streaming channel among many."

If the cable business does die those companies could partner with Netflix, split revenues (and risks) and continue commissioning shows.

Content available on Netflix would go up, they could jack up the price (one place to view everything justifies that) and the cable companies don't go completely out of business.

It'll probably never happen but it seems like an ideal solution for all parties, including customers.

Heh, ironically enough, OpenDNS hijacks NXDOMAINs.
First, folks give up way too easily. It takes time for things to hit even when everything's dialed-in.

Second, unless an app costs a ton of money to keep going, find a home for it. There's always some shop that will buy up your "failed" startup. Turning just it off is like killing a baby. So wantrepreneurs out there: try not to be so quick to strangle her in the bath water.
The funniest Table Tennis match till date.
Regardless who is in the right here, I don't understand why all the protesters keep going to that square where all the cops are. One of those Molotov cocktails they keep throwing could probably be used more efficiently anywhere else in the city with so many cops in that one square. I am sure there must be plenty of worthwhile targets that pretty much have their pants down right now. Police stations, buildings associated with Yanukovich and his party... I am sure there is any number of places where a few guys with molotovs could be used better than at that battlefield of a square.

Detailed explanation, as requested: Most coding at Google is done on local workstations, and even if it weren't, it's totally irrelevant because the benefits of working in-office have everything to do with where your body is, and almost nothing to do with where your shell is running.

Querying from one of my personal servers on a Level3 DIA circuit, I am getting NXDOMAINs for non-existent hostnames.
What I've seen so far isn't a complete waste, but I'm still reviewing since I have nothing better to do this morning.

So far I've looked at how a crypto-secure schared secret is established with the "original method." It works just as you would expect. The author even made an attempt to ensure that different pairs of peers using the same input wouldn't generate the same secret by xoring the two usernames together. Of course, collisions are easy to generate and I don't see that the tracker's domain is included anywhere, but no serious attacks come to mind through this vector.

I'm not going to bother looking at the Facebook or email methods because the security there reduces to how much you trust your email provider or Facebook.

I'll keep updating you guys if anyone cares.

Are you aware of how ironic it is to be making an argument based on waiting lists in single-payer health care systems in an argument about the inferiority of US health care?
I wondered this too, until I saw the Apple logo. That would be a trademark violation. Maybe the forum mods wanted to avoid having the forum involved if Apple went after the poster.

Without the logo, Apple's complaint would have to be based on imitation of the design - maybe weaker than trademark but I dunno about design rights in EU.

The study population was undergrad students, not insomniacs (I mean, maybe self-styled, but you know what I mean). Therefore, you're probably right that this finding might not generalize to a distinct population with disordered sleep. But for the typical HN reader, it might be of more interest.
It was an YC company by the way.

EtherPad is among my favourite online collaboration tools. I guess no authentication and plain enough user interface make it a low-threshold choice for all sorts of short term collaboration efforts. I've used it to plan bachelor parties and such.
Thus demonstrating the difference between anecdote and statistics.
From what I've heard, HBO Go has many technical and content quality problems. Plus they have promised real support for Apple TV for a long time, and only presented crappy non-solutions based on AirPlay using an app that can't multitask. :-P
> 3. A book about how to make great conversation.

There's an app for that: http://refresh.io. Better than a book since it customizes its data to the people you meet.
Plus this actually would be a step backwards since gcc's code generation is still significantly ahead performance wise.
Couldn't you Google for a PC which has a graphics card with 300 or more cuda cores?
With copy middle there are always going to be examples of "x wasn't re released into the community." I think focusing on these is extremely short sighted. It cedes a premise that the way to judge the health of an open source paradigm is %_advances_open_sourced, or as a negative indicator #_advances_not_open_sourced.

The true equation for the value of an open source paradigm should be: #_advances_open_sourced, and nothing else.

It doesnt matter if 99% of advances stay closed, what matters is if there is enough value repatriated.

Copy middle allows a company to take something open source, invest speculative resources on improving it, and it successfull sell for a portion of the incremental value - both improving the quality and decreasing the cost of software to consumers. Then, if/when a company tries this and fails to find a market, the advances sometimes/often get repatriated as part of the shutdown.

Copy left tries to use anti-ownership ideals to ensure software remains free. This seems like a good idea, until you realize that copy middle effectively harnesses capitalist motives to make free software better.

In my mind: Copy left is, by design, a virus. Copy middle is a symbiotic guest organism. I know when given the choice between a probiotic and the flu virus which I want to ingest into my body. I have the exact same preferences when it comes to what I invest in my company.
The residual benefits of a hit series that Netflix produces is really where the value is.

With a hit series that they own:

1) Subscribers know that the series will never go way.
2) Once a season is the bag, the return on the season is really high going forward as there is no cost to show the episodes (ie. no content fees)

All this means that Netflix will continue to fund new series and find ways to bring the cost down. The future returns on a series is just to big to ignore for them to not do it.
Some of us pay Level3 four or five figures a month. I checked and receive NXDOMAINs (like I should) but I would immediately open a ticket if they were fucking with my DNS.

That said, we run our own recursive servers and don't rely on Level3's.
Yeah - those people - the ones that pay 30% of the nation's taxes.
On average, one new fad gets big each year. Find it and be big.

If you succeed, write a book explaining how.
That's a graph of the past...

I really don't feel like I'm asking for something crazy. Just like from 2013-2023 the average temp will be X. Or if that is too short, from 2013-2050 the average temp will by Y.

For a theory that claims to predict the future climate, I'm having a hard time getting a concrete prediction of the future climate.

Or could it be that the science is still evolving on this incredibly complex system...
I believe the memory assessment will always show basically no free memory due to Linux's memory management and caching. It would make more sense to subtract out the cache to see what's really used and what's just being (smartly) cached.
I'd recommend you to learn new skills. Even though there's lots of PHP/MySQL jobs, newer tech might pay better (like Node.js and NoSQL databases, maybe AngularJS on the frontend side).

A serial "wantrepreneur". The first Google search result for that term will solve your problem. Find a "very good problem" and solve it in the best possible way. Solution should be a simple one rather than an intelligent one, so that people shouldn't feel the weight of the problem but the easiness of the solution. We all possess the ability to solve problems in a peculiar way, just choose the right problem.
Artificial Intelligence: Closer than you think?
Well, at the small software companies I know there are many (e.g. 20x) more male software engineers than female and the problem is 100% due to the pipeline (I'm not aware of any female engineer having left). In my experience female candidates also receive more offers than comparable male candidates, which is great and again not indicative of a cultural cause of the unequal workplace proportions.
3 Things That Hold You Back When You Use Trello
Sure, I'll agree with you there.

The 1950-1990 period also corresponded with cheap oil (actually, that persisted through the late 1990s), abundant suburban real estate (prices started climbing earlier), freeway and highway construction (which congestion clawed back at beginning in the 1960s and progressively over the years).

The back-to-the-city movement actually had its roots in the yuppie trend of the 1980s, though it's been gathering steam with time. Downtowns in many major US cities (Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, as well as San Francisco) have have seen significant revivals over this period.
> I've got plenty of compassion and understanding, thanks.

Only for yourself.

> Maybe you should try therapy for that.

Maybe you should try not being an asshole.

By the way, your comments have numerous factual errors. You've assumed a great deal about my life rather than seeking actual understanding of it. Amusingly, even if your assumptions were correct, it would just make you an even bigger asshole.
I wasn't making a value judgement about the megarich, just a statistical one.

If you don't want to marry or have kids, you're not really compromising anything.

imho, it's about being honest with yourself about what you want.
Cushions will help a little bit. But pews are simply awful for sitting in for long periods of time no matter what.
You say this in jest, but I also don't understand how people chose to have a full-time job (even worse, a startup) AND kids (not judging anyone, I just do not understand it). There clearly aren't enough hours in a day to manage both as well as they deserve and not live a stressful life.
Before you reach for that downvote button, this is what I am personally doing:

- try to become financially independent (with the sweat and all-nighters that go along with it, when needed)

- if (and only IF) I ever manage to do so, start a family with the good conscience that I will have the means to be there as a father

- if not, rinse and repeat until I do

Does it make any sense?

I enjoy Netflix quite a bit more than Hulu+...so much so that I don't care about watching recent stuff anymore and gladly wait for a bit.

Hulu+ requires you to link with your cable provider to watch a lot of the new stuff anyways which is a no go for me since...the point is not having a cable provider anymore.

Also...entire series simply don't stream if you're on Linux. Community and Linux-Flash don't work for example, something about their crappy DRM.

Netflix isn't exactly Linux friendly (Silverlight) but the Wine Netflix-Desktop at least works for all their content.

Antagonizing HBO isn't smart imo. Pretty juvenile comments.
In some cases, that's the choice, especially when the company isn't profitable, or is barely so. In this case, though, it seems #2 wasn't a major risk. Or at least the founder claims in this thread that it wasn't: he describes it as a sustainable, growing company on sound financial footing, which didn't sell out of necessity.
if you give me 100$ I will pick a fitting pc for you in a shop of your choice. ;)
//slightly off topic

The rock, which has a white rim and center that is deep red, is unlike anything scientists have seen before on Mars.

Such statements insinuating that the scientists are somehow puzzled by that fact. Of course they haven't seen it before, because it never happened. How often do you get a rover on mars. Sooner or later a rock will get yanked from the wheels. Media is really scraping the bottom here.

edit: My guess, looks more like something metallic, like a part of the rower perhaps.
Right on the spot!
I stopped using trello exactly because I tried so hard to make it work for planning because their UI is so simple - but it just didn't work.
That assumes you have a web server configured to serve PHP out of /var/www.

At the very least you would want to put some access control in front of this.
The sun has a Schwarzschild diameter of 3.7 miles. You're being too picky.
Nice rhetoric you have there - if only there were any arguments in it!

It may be surprising to you, but fighting for a cause is not bad because you are fighting for a cause, but because you are fighting for an idiotic cause. Religious fundamentalists aren't idiots because they are fighting for something, but they are idiots because they are fighting for something that would be detrimental to society (including themselves). You may remember there were people who fought against slavery, they even lobbied government to enact laws banning slavery. If only someone had stopped those fundamentalists!

Also, you might want to familiarize yourself with RMS's position sufficiently to not fall for "commercial vs. free software". RMS never opposed commercial software, in fact he is very much for commercial software. Chances are you don't have a clue what you are actually arguing against. Go, read the FSF's FAQ, so you can at least argue without using any strawmans.
Why Creativity Matters More Than Passion for Entrepreneurs
I agree to a certain degree...Yet I find that cases like trying to teach programming to kids still in junior schools or using a kickstarter to publish yet another book (yes I'm looking at you ruby girl), is taking things to extreme...
Side question - to what extent was the attack on the Jews in Nazi Germany associated with their wealth? (at the time)
If you care about free as in freedom, copy middle is how to get it.

Copy left tears from you ownership of your incremental work, it makes your work an ideological prisoner of the commons.

Copy left ensures a certain degree of openness, but open does not equal free.

Only copy middle is truly free software.
I'm sure Mr. Perkins thought that getting a $10k fine for killing a man with his yacht was "just like Nazi Germany" too. What an assclown.
I really want to like Netflix, but in the UK I've now switched most of my movie-viewing to Now TV. Now TV seems to operate on the same model, except they have much fewer of the "movies that hardly anyone wants to see" category, and much more of the "recent movies that you want to see" category.

As a result, at the moment I'm paying for both Now TV and Netflix, but when I want to watch a movie I'm much more likely to go to Now TV, so maybe next time I sign up for those things I'll get just Now TV (or an equivalent player that actually has content licences to good things).
What an awful article. All factual information can be summarized in two sentences:

"The mars rover lasted longer than expected because we did not anticipate the strong winds blowing dust off the solar panels. Furthermore, the rocker-bogie suspension system kept the machine from toppling over."

Everything else was non-information towards the subject. Claims that their machines are American, exquisite, sturdy, creative, well designed, excellent, fantastic and well built explain nothing.
This looks like great work, so probably this comment is a little off topic, but here goes anyways:

Every web framework I've seen for Golang seems to do a competent job of tackling the easiest part of designing a web framework, which is routing requests to handlers.

Actually, the built-in net/http library already does a serviceable job of handling requests, and if you understand closures, filtering them and maintaining request state as well.

The thing no framework I have seen so far addresses is persistence. SQL persistence in Golang is a bit of a nightmare. It's raw SQL, and the database libraries are fussy.

The thing that makes Rails so easy to write in, especially for newcomers, is ActiveRecord. As far as I can tell, nothing like it exists (in a stable form) for Golang.

This is amazing thank you for sharing
Many of these are surprisingly very readable, particularly if you're willing to wade into their world. For example, I find it hilarious that, in The Republic, Glaucon (if I recall correctly) complains directly about Socrates using his method that has sometimes impressed all of us or been impressed upon us as the irrefutable voice of authority. He says, practically in so many words, "You're just being a smart aleck! You ask a bunch of leading questions and get smug when we don't have immediate criticisms for your supposedly inevitable answers! But all it really means is that they're different from suggestions that we've heard before!"

On the other hand, I had little success trudging through An Essay Concerning Human Understanding by John Locke.

So, I'd suggest that a reader who makes a patient attempt will find that many of them open up and become old friends. If not, I wouldn't bother to suffer through. There are plenty of books to try. You can always try one again in another decade or perhaps another lifetime.
