It's interesting that they don't talk about torrent anywhere on the pages, in order to verify that they support it I had to search on their blog for word like "magnet".
I guess they probably prefer to have a low profile approach and use generic sentences like "your ripped DVDs, video files and web clips"
It does say "paper", not "toilet paper" in Russian, but most certainly they do mean toilet paper.

Bins for toilet paper used to be quite common in old buildings with bad plumbing. Also, historically, toilet paper used to be in great deficit in USSR, so torn newspapers were used for that purpose instead, causing all kind of clogs.
Well, that's a little hard when we don't know anything about you or your needs. Why don't you tell us something about yourself? What do you care about? What do you do for a living? What do you enjoy doing? What do you wish you could do?
Why Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Death Is So Scary
Wait, it's "extremely unlikely" that the original contractor needed a "couple of months" and yet you state that the deadline was not insane because it was fixed in a "couple of months"?

Most of the actual repair to the site was done by the contractors in question, the "IT surge" team that was brought in were mostly for quarterbacking what needed to be done.

Would CGI Federal and the other contractors got it working with a bit more time? Maybe not, but I don't quite get how you can present such sweeping assumptions as fact.
By bidding the lowest
Very interesting announcement. I'm sure they're making the right decision, and I'm even more sure they did a ton of user testing.

However, it's weird to lose the 37 Signals brand. I actually don't like Basecamp as a product, but I love 37 Signals. I treat their books like a bible, and read their blog posts religiously. Somehow, they seemed like more like a philosophy than just a product, and Basecamp (and Rails and their books) were a side effect.

I know it's the same people and nothing will really change (A rose by any other name...), but it's still so weird to me to lose 37 Signals.

They likely did, you clearly did not: "... a person is an exchanger and a money transmitter if the person accepts such de-centralized convertible virtual currency from one person and transmits it to another person as part of the acceptance and transfer of currency, funds, or other value that substitutes for currency"[emphasis mine]

It makes mining more addictive, which increases the number of people who are willing to mine, even if the financial rewards for doing it drop. Same reason why people by lotto tickets even though it's a net economic negative.

I'd argue that the Dogecoin creators are actually quite brilliant, because they manage to exploit several known cognitive biases in humans to drive adoption. Design for the world as it actually is, not for how you would like it to be.

Ships are pretty solid. Note in the article that they mentioned using a camera pointed in the correct direction -- or else it will be noticeably odd that the image isn't moving like your ear says the ship does.
This is profound. Not just deserves but demands to be listed on the front-page.
Your comment implies Highrise is going to disappear - however, that's not the case. They're either going to sell Highrise (to a buyer who is committed to keeping it running + growing) or continue to run it themselves in maintenance mode.
OT, but damn, that is a very well designed website. And it's just a single dev, from their info page. Very impressive.

Of course I can see it from the officer's perspective. The officer is perfectly rational in wanted to be well armed and well supported, to increase his own security. But when that officer is deliberately doing what these officers were doing, I value the security of the victims far more than the security of the perpetrators.

No, it won't be a problem.. I'm sure they're already talking to Twitter about it. I heard something along the lines of accounts inactive for 6 months can be seized by Twitter.
I might actually do that. I see that people are persistent in believing it's hard, maybe after making these claims I have an obligation to back them up.
Knock Knock
What you're saying is true except for the claim that it has "nothing to do" with supporting commercial enterprise. The fact remains that Silicon Valley is a product of these billions in government spending and wouldn't exist in anything like its current form without it.

What we're both describing is the Pentagon system. The pretext for investment in high tech is that we need it for defense. And then we can just give it away to the private sector because, hey, it's like military surplus.

But it's highly unlikely Silicon Valley would exist without the hundreds of billions in government investment in core high tech. The government invests in nascent tech at a much earlier and riskier stage than venture capital, often billions over a period of a decade or more. There's also the critical role of (usually military) procurement in creating a market for early tech. This is orders of magnitude riskier and broader scale than any private VC fund.

You're biggest error I think is in missing the bigger picture of how this creates a (rather disturbing) feedback loop into war policy. Doing this all through the pretext of military spending means that the public has less control over how taxpayer funds are invested in the economy and the private sector can capture all the profits, using the logic that you articulate. But it also means that we have to keep finding new enemies and waging wars to keep the Pentagon system running.

So, what about Basecamp Classic? That's something they won't sell to another company, but is it something they'll continue supporting? I'd imagine it's simple to maintain.
Am I the first person who realized "Signal vs. Noise" blog move to http://signalvnoise.com/?
We are still using the old Basecamp version because time tracking didn't make it into the relaunched version. Maybe you guys add time tracking now?

Lol, my first job out of college was as a DBA for a large US-based cruise company. I would go out to the ships to work on the databases used to maintain engine maintenance records. They would put me up in unsold rooms. One time all the rooms were sold so I was basically in a closet down the hall from the MORGUE. Where was my bigscreen, WHERE WAS MY BIGSCREEN~! :)

Accidentally Introducing Side Effects into Purely Functional Code (2008)
Not sure about Amazon. But I'd definitely say worse than Google. For all of Google's dominance they offer APIs using open standards for the vast majority of their products, their operating systems are all open source, they guarantee to give you your data with takeout. Mostly where they are dominant it is because they've made products people really want and not because they've locked their customers in. I'm sure you can find exceptions but I think overall their track record is substantially better than Microsoft's ever was.
I actually do use go, and I like it, but it's hardly setting the world on fire.
I haven't heard of adaptive before either, but I kind of like it. The original book on responsive design spent a lot of time talking about how to correctly make liquid layouts, and heavily advocated for their use along with media queries. It wasn't until Bootstrap that responsive design also started meaning static layouts with media queries.
From the FAQ:

> Based on current revenues, current growth rates, and a conservative multiple, Campfire will sell in the single digit millions, and Highrise will sell in the tens of millions.

Amazing that those products are doing so well and they've largely been on autopilot for the past few years. This info + the switch to focus on Basecamp can only mean that they're making an absolute killing with Basecamp.
I think Quay is more like GitHub for Docker, Shippable is more CI/CD for Docker, and the Memcached service is definitely not a PaaS. Along with the book, 4/10 of them are not like a PaaS for Docker.

The last I heard, it needed to be entirely dormant (meaning not a single log in) for 30 months in order to be eligible to transfer. Though they might have a trademark claim that would likely help.
I think quantitative finance is interesting, but for personal purposes I'd really only want to trade once a month or so, as opposed to multiple times a day. I'm not sure what kind of software libraries/languages are suited for that kind of approach, when everything seems tuned for HFT.

This is really cool. I love basecamp and have been a daily user since close to day one. However their maintaining legacy basecamp in parallel to new basecamp seems to make even less sense to me now then it did then.

It seems to me if the transition process between the two could have been smoother they could have got all their users on board for the upgrade.

I'm really hoping that as part of their renewed efforts with basecamp they might re-address people that are stuck in basecamp classic due to the much less than smooth upragde process.
I work for Qualcomm and am surprised that the blog post author didn't consider our SoCs - it would meet all the requirements and I believe its not too much hassle to source from us.
What You'll Need to Know to Be the Boss in 2020
I could see us living in houses where the view outside was simulated (mountainscape, seascape, etc) because the same view might get boring or be prohibitively expensive. If retina implants or Rift-style goggles go the distance, we might live in stark houses that are virtually decorated.

We might experience virtual travel as much as we do real travel, and do it without crowds, without heat and distance.

If the experience is accurate enough, I think our bodies and brains could be confused enough to derive more from it than we lose.
Bitcoin Network Growth is Finally Slowing
Apparently you are right on the account that learning Chinese surely helps (ED from the article mentioned that there was a lack for proper English documentation for some chips considered).
It's "37signals."
I don't think it's going to disappear, but I do think many customers will consider alternatives when it's clear the original designers are no longer onboard with the product anymore.

Highrise was an amazing product years ago, but let's face it, Highrise has almost been abandoned for the past couple years at least. Could a new owner take over and revamp it to be amazing? It's possible, but not the common outcome of acquisitions.
Based on the lack of attention the new Basecamp has gotten after launch, this is incentive enough for me to more to a new project management tool. The only real incentive to say was the very minor integration with Highrise
Docker-like move: it's good to be focused on what is popular AND makes net $.
Can someone explain what I can use docker for? For example could I create a web app with docker, and send that docker image as the product? How could I update the image remotely when it's running somewhere out there?
Trick Websites Dupe Democrats Into Donating To Republicans
Is this technically phishing?
Thanks for the feedback! I believe ED (the one who shared his experiences from the article) did contact Qualcomm but had difficulty securing small quantities as well from them. He probably forgot to mention it this time. However, if you think that it would still be possible and if you have commercial contacts within Qualcomm, I'd be happy to put you in touch with him.

Hats off to the simplicity and focus these guys have. I have loved and admired this company over years. These announcements have only added more respect for them.

> By the way, my post title was changed by someone else

Sadly, this is a well-known issue on HN:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6216685

Although that open letter received a lot of attention, nothing has changed since then: No transparency which admin "corrected" the title, not even an indication that this kind of manipulation happened at all. So you as the submitter receive all complaints about the crappy title.

@pg: Note that I fully understand that we HN submitters should not be encouraged to use link-baity names for our submissions. And that we should prefer the original title wherever feasible. But some articles' titles are crap. Some are uninformative, some are misleading, and some titles are even wrong. If it is recommened to remove link-baity numbers from titles ("10 Ways To Do X" -> "How To Do X"), why isn't it equally feasible to replace misleading/wrong titles with informative/correct titles?
There are so many project management apps out there, the competition is fierce. For a proj mgmt app to succeed, there either has to be USP and massive value. For example, Asana is especially good. I haven't tried Basecamp recently but it wasn't as lightweight, low-cost and nice as Asana.

Indeed, there are Google offices in countries with much more ... liberal ... immigration policies. The only convenience a barge would offer is timezone issues, but who wants to live on a barge just to be in the same time zone as Mountain View? I'm guessing nobody.

Interesting to see Paypal say they are believers.
Ah, the security levels of EVE Online systems. I'd recognize that data anywhere.
1) I never understood the odd trend of having a jpeg of a handwritten signature included in a digital email. A signature is supposed to designate authenticity, but a letter on a authenticated website is inherently authentic.

So it's forced, and decorative. And makes me think the author is trying too hard.

2) I respect Jason very much and think this decision is the right one from a consumer perspective. If they are only going to make one product going forward (which is the right decision), there's no need for a separate company brand. Good call by them - and no doubt a difficult one to make.
My bet was going to be Atlassian. They have the clearest competitor to Campfire (Hipchat), a history of pulling off acquisitions (Bitbucket) and from 37Signals perspective could probably make a better case that they could take care / migrate their customers.
I would never have known they were difficult to obtain.

We use Test Flight internally and with clients but unfortunately its not viable for extensive distribution like this. From what I understand an Enterprise Developer Account with Apple would allow us to distribute to more than 100 devices, but distributing an app like this to what are essentially paying customers would be against Apple's terms and they'd most likely shut our enterprise developer account down pretty quickly.
bold move.
I can't really see a downside to this page having its own domain name. Also your point makes no sense... clearly liquidapsive.com is much more memorable than

So, no, domain (re)sellers aren't the only ones benefiting. And TBH the credibility of your statement is questionable given that ICANN doesn't directly sell domain names anyway.
It's called "trolling".

Not really. Or rather, the question of whether or not it was trolling is the subject of [current] debate. (It depends on whether it was off-topic or not--clearly 'pg thinks it was, and some people think that since he is the owner/creator/BDFL he is right, but lots of other intelligent people disagree, which is the whole reason this thread exists. I'm not really sure it matters, but calling 'jaquesm a troll is pretty strong.)
> Not if you tell them you're just going to eat.

That assumes that on-scene guards ask questions of the subject before reporting observed suspicious behavior (which may or may not be the case, and is even less likely the case in the event that the "guards" that observe the behavior are automated face/gait/etc. recognition systems looking for unusual patterns.)

No, evidence from a CI is not admissible when the CI is not revealed to the court. I'm not saying parallel construction applies to every case involving a CI; I'm saying it applies to cases made from CIs who remain sources after the case is brought, and are thus concealed from the court and (more importantly) the defendant.

That is actually quite common in Russia and not necessarily Sochi-specific. The sewage system is in consistent state of mild disrepair, and it's common for bathrooms in hotels, conference centers and restaurants to have foul-smelling bins for used toilet paper.

To be fair the Pandora still exists and is still produced (while you are right that it suffered huge delays in the first place linked to supply but also to manufacturing). As for the ICP2, I believe it was not just a supply issue but a lack a coordination (the design was still being discussed several months after funding).

Should be possible to do a custom build without support for the phone part.

Whilst GitHub itself is definitely the focus at GitHub, Inc. They also have other products, they have a job board too, and Speaker Deck, and Gauges.
I doubt unless they want to kill Hipchat and use Campfire.

We will not sell either of these products to a company that is planning to shut the products down.

IMO Hipchat is a better chat tool than Campfire.

FAQ at the bottom of the article says:

Q: What about Basecamp Classic?

We are fully committed to running Basecamp Classic forever. As long as we're around, Basecamp Classic will be around. A large chunk of our customer base loves Classic and we'll make sure they'll always have their Classic. The same rigorous uptime standards of Basecamp also apply to Basecamp Classic.

Background: Basecamp Classic was the original version of Basecamp we launched in 2004. Then in 2012 we released the all new version of Basecamp. Customers had the choice to stay on the old version, transition to the new version, or use both.
