I think ultimately it requires having a strong champion empowered to make big calls. In product development, what I have seen happen is that everyone has strong views about what must be included for a product to succeed.

With no one with either authority or guts to take a stance for and against features, a bunch of average shit gets shipped in hopes of somewhat satisfying everyone instead of really satisfying a core group of customers.
I wonder what it's like to be dyslexic.
I'm not sure legal tender matters much. It's all about what people generally expect other people generally to give them for the currency when they decide they want to convert it into something else. See, for instance, the Somalian Shilling retaining its value despite a period that basically lacked a government (http://www.economist.com/node/21551492) or the fact that the dollar is happily accepted in very many countries. What does screw with things is currency controls, but that's not really substantively different than any other market manipulation.
I think part of the problem is that everyone heard that goto is harmful but noone ever reads the original letter, even though its reads like a short blog post (assuming they had blogs back then)

http://www.u.arizona.edu/~rubinson/copyright_violations/Go_T...

According to Dijkstra, the really evil gotos are the ones that force you to keep a track of the whole execution path in order to figure out the current state of the program. Its much easier when you can look at a line of code and statically know what the program state will be like at that point.

A for loop is better than goto because you can look at a line inside it and instantly know that it will run a number of times, with the index changing in increasing order.

gotos for resource cleanup are good because you can look at a given line of code and know what resources still need to be freed.

Code that gets rid of gotos and break statements by blindly replacing them with tons of flags is just as bad as gotos because you still need to look at the whole execution path to figure out the state in the flags.
> If Time Warner, Comcast, and AT&T want their names to be associated with budget brands then its ok.

It is definitely not OK. Time Warner is absolute garbage and has been for a very long time. Cablevision has an excellent network.

I know this very well.

Unfortunately, some towns contracted with Time Warner and some with Cablevision and you can't pick who you want as your provider ... unless you decide on where you live based on the available ISP.

As much as I love a good connection, I will not make my decision on where to live based on the available internet provider. Reputation is worthless unless people have a choice.

I fear that you are overestimating humanity: "The idea has overwhelming support, so someone creates a new policy component, and gives permissions to suction tax funds"...

There was a recent article here on HN that seemed to debunk the d-wave machines, that showed that a classic (non-quantum) algorithm was probably the best candidate for the results the d-wave produces.

In light of that, true quantum computing may be farther off than you're expecting.
Then I think that would be better explained as saying "meetings with particularly sensitive information." The size of the company would not dictate that policy.
Do you just mean individual miners individually going out and purchasing carbon credits? What would motivate that, when the thing they're producing is fungible (and thus it can't strengthen their brand, &c)?

I'd applaud it in any event, but it seems like something that can't really be enforced and is unlikely to be widespread without enforcement as I have no real means of converting my approval into anything tangible or even directing it where it belongs.

Ask HN: How does Google Maps transfer '0 byte' images on Street View?
I was reading the answer to this question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8072921/chrome-dev-tools-size-vs-content on Stack Overflow about 'Size' vs 'Content' on the Network tab of Chrome, and the accepted answer said:

...

"Size" is the number of bytes on the wire, and "content" is the actual size of the resource. A number of things can make them different, including:

* Being served from cache (small or 0 "size")

* GZip encoding (smaller size than content)

* Request/Response headers, including cookies (larger size than content)

* Redirects or authentication requests

...

So I was a little surprised when I was checking the network tab on a typical street view page on Google maps and observed that the size of almost every tile (JPEG) was 0 but it wasn't being served from a local cache nor was it gzipped.

Here's what I see (note 6th column, Size/Content): http://i.imgur.com/VpENUSC.png

How is this happening, how can the file they transfer be 0 on the wire but definitely have content (as indicated) without caching or gzipping?

I'd love some more clarification if I'm misunderstanding something obvious. Thanks!
Andreesen Horowitz co-founder has new book
This might be a naive viewpoint, but I don't see how this could be viewed as legal. If I as a retail investor in equity or equity options in a company was approached by my broker and asked what day in the past I would like to use for my cost basis calculation, that would sound pretty fishy. Why should it be different for inside holders?

Graphene has the potential to be used as poly or substrate. Much more relevant than replacing metal, but I don't know of anybody that could grow anything over it. (Maybe it's just a matter of doing it upside-down? How are modern fabs losing precision with added layers?)

I don't get why you see less difference. Fermions can have balistic trajectories too, that's not news.
Thanks for trying it. Maybe I went on a too long DIY spree there.
If this is comparable to the Chromecast in terms of ease of use and simplicity while still being able to be a functional product with the features companies need, I could see this being very popular.

I love how simple the Chromecast is, it allows everybody to work it with no hassle. I hope this product also accomplishes that goal.

I don't get why this is so expensive. What's the $250 a year get me?

I'm used to Chromeboxes costing about $300, and web cams cost about $100 for an awesome one. So, $400 makes sense to me...?
I think you're missing the point, that they didn't break it for free, like a child smashing their gameboy for example. The broke it explicitly for a trade & too protest. This has little to do with entitlement.
Actually I fully expect people to make terrible decisions, That's why I tried to make the system compartmentalized with specific rules on what kind of policy can go where. In this way if people go overboard the system can be ditched easily, and we can try again. Today failure is not an option. Which means its way too risky to try new things. I want to design the system so failure is easy to recover from.

I should do a better write up sometime.

From reading the first release, it sounds like the penalties imposed was for more than just the stock options thing described by Horowitz. It also describes fraudulent disclosures about backlog of sales and structuring fraudulent loans. So it's not necessarily the case that Horowitz would have had to serve jail time if he had gone along with his cfo's proposal (although he would likely have had to pay back his gains and possibly fines).

When I first read the blog, it certainly sounded like the SEC being overly harsh over a mistake made by a good CFO. But reading the release makes me think there was more to it than that. It's possible this is the reason why that excerpt wasn't published in his book.
or "How I Hired a White Collar Criminal And Avoided Jail"

"On May 31, 2007, the Commission charged Abrams and three other former senior Mercury officers with perpetrating a fraudulent and deceptive scheme from 1997 to 2005 to award themselves and other Mercury employees undisclosed, secret compensation by backdating stock option grants and failing to record hundreds of millions of dollars of compensation expense. The Commission's complaint alleges that during this period certain of these executives, including Abrams, backdated stock option exercises, made fraudulent disclosures concerning Mercury's "backlog" of sales revenues to manage its reported earnings, and structured fraudulent loans for option exercises by overseas employees to avoid recording expenses." -- http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2009/lr20964.htm

"Federal prosecutors obtained an indictment against Abrams in 2008 for income tax evasion and aiding in the preparation of false tax returns." -- http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/09/09/mercury-plea-idUSN...

Calling these "mistakes" is highly disingenuous.

This is exactly the problem. We need a better transport layer.

You know, the speed at which SPDY has caught on has given me hope. Admittedly, that's at the application layer, but I think if Google were to get behind an initiative to create a better TCP, it would actually have a chance at working. Historically, Google's incentives were properly aligned with a decentralized Internet, but Google is more and more a content producer. So I'm not sure.

Until then, we'll have to rely on servers to bootstrap peer-to-peer networks, even Bitcoin, Bittorrent, and yes, WebRTC.

My dad and his brothers and sisters grew up under a strict piano every morning before school regimen.

He tried to teach me too when I was 5 or 6 with little discipline and moderate success, it never went very far, I wasn't very interested in the technical stuff, I just sometimes fussed with it. Eventually in my teen years I got into playing guitar and come up with structured songs, then piano, then singing, then music production, then electronic instruments... But always as a self taught hobby, not much discipline. I know close to nothing about solfege. I mostly fuss with stuff and try to find melodies that sound good to my ear.

It's funny because musically I became the opposite of my dad. He has absolute pitch, I absolutely do not. He can't memorize songs because he was taught to play while reading scores, I can't read scores and play everything by memory. He never made a song of his own, I only play my own stuff. That said the times he tried to teach may have been important, I think I have a good ear for melody and those very early days of piano playing may be why (but that's just a guess).

You could leave nested loops with a condition flag, which could produce something semantically equivalent to the goto. It seems like the logic here might be simple enough that the actual check could be eliminated in the generated code by a Sufficiently Smart Compiler (that could actually exist), if there was sufficient demand for it. I'm not sure it's actually more readable, though.
The $250/year is for support and maintenance.
Of course this is not all that dishonest. It is just a matter of what you want to measure. For last-mile speed measurement (which is what I personally use speedtest.net most for) using ISP provided local servers makes a lot of sense because it also removes most external factors from the measurement.

And really there is no "central point of Internet" which to measure speed to/from.
"because it uses macros, the suspendable constructs are limited to the scope of a single code block, i.e. a function running in a suspendable block cannot call another blocking function; all blocking must be performed at the topmost function. It’s because of the second limitation that these constructs aren’t true lightweight threads, as threads must be able to block at a any call-stack depth"

Can you elaborate on this a bit? Let's say I have a function called 'fetch-url' which takes a core.async channel as an argument and makes a non-blocking http request (say, using http-kit), and in the callback handler i put the result onto the channel. If I'm in some other function, in which whose body I open a core.async go block and call fetch-url from within that go block, everything is still asynchronous is it not?

It really does come off as someone who started out trying to clone Mario, or someone who was just trying to make their first game without expecting anyone to actually download it.

The lack of a paid ad-free version shows that it wasn't really expected to be downloaded millions of times.

Just as a caveat, be aware that your email address is already exposed if you use git and github: https://github.com/YOURLS/YOURLS/commit/cf7b2e6aedebe0c65466...

In general, hiding email addresses doesn't usually make the job of harvesters appreciably harder, and does make the life of genuine users a bit more painful.

We'll probably start hiding email addresses altogether once we have a messaging system so that it's still easy for npm users to contact one another when they need to. Until then, I'd accept a patch to do the standard silly "hiding" thing with some JS that shows it on the page.

I went to learn how to turn small companies into big companies, to learn business fundamentals like finance and accounting that are so often overlooked, and to get some of the managerial skills I felt I missed out on by being an entrepreneur. When your name is on the door, you tend to think that people will just follow and listen to you, but it doesn't work that way.

I think I accomplished what I set out to, and then some. I gained a solid foundation in all the core business subjects, expanded my understanding, picked up some useful new skills, and built an incredible global network. I also had a total blast and traveled to 23 countries. Not a bad use of 1 year of your life, in my opinion.
