I think the point was that cartels will form in a regulatory vacuum and therefore the intrinsic virtues of market forces are oft overstated.
It's a lot to the average person. By having a paid tier system like this, you're ensuring that only the rich and businesses have access to politicians (which actually goes a long way to explaining why American politics is so biased towards those already on top of the food chain; or "capitalism" as those in power often like to label their corruption)

Basically, if you are interested in science and/or energy, and want to do software engineering at a place that actually let's you leverage the math/physics you learned in college/grad school, we're probably as good a fit as you'll find. We make powerful design tools for Solar PV systems, making them very easy to use by leveraging a pretty sophisticated simulation engine (so we handle the physics for the user).

We've already launched our product[1], have some great traction (including a federal grant), and we're still just a 2 man team, so there's a lot of opportunity. Everyday we get to deal with a range of problems that few startups get to offer – we have a pretty modern web-stack [2] (that we actually need, not just to be trendy), but also get to solve interesting physics/optimization problems on a regular basis. It's a really unique place in both the solar industry, and as a software company.

You want everything included for $5.99. Studios want more lifetime value out of the customers. Consumers want to sample the game for free and incrementally pay if they are hooked on. Studios have come up with a model that makes them a lot of money and keeps consumed happy. This is evident by the fact that studios have moved to this model. In a nutshell the market has decided the best model.

1. New platform with not many apps
2. Gotta play Apple's game and tout the app count
3. Devs plz more apps kthxbye; don't worry about quality -- we'll look the other way and hose down criticism with excuses
4. Consumers see how desolate, harsh, and unusable the whole ecosystem is -- further rerouting them to Apple
5. Goto 1, with more gusto and a new reorg

What does this mean? What is libart?
It sounds like you're looking to feed confirmation bias. Picking a country that most Americans love to hate isn't really going to give you accurate results. Try comparing the U.S. to Germany and Switzerland, or the U.S. to the Scandinavian countries.

Also, keep in mind that statistics on emigration only show you how many people moved between the countries. It doesn't show you whether people in Germany are more likely to be curious about the U.S. than vice versa, or whether the people are happier and have more freedom.

I am a European living in the U.S., and I agree the U.S. is a terrific country to be in if you are making a lot of money. But most people don't. The poor here are far worse off (and the rich are far better off--indeed, that is the definition of inequality.)

San Francisco, CA - Zenbox. Software Engineer. [LOCAL | RELOCATE OK]

We're a YC company wrangling SaaS to work together (as they should), starting by bringing the biggest apps our customers use right into Gmail. We've been growing our team over the past few months, and looking to add even more awesome people. We work with dozens of API's to show our users profiles of their customers without having to jump out of the email flow - imagine having http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtzqRSlgqkw available when helping customers.

Thousands of people use it every day for hours on end, and are happy to pay for it to make sure they can continue using it. But there's still so much polish and improvement possible.

We also spend time improving our tooling, and tools for other developers. As one example we've recently vastly improved the source-map capabilities of the ClojureScript compiler and added reified keywords to the runtime to make ClojureScript a better citizen on the web. We do it because we want to give back to the communities that have enabled us, because it helps us, and because it's interesting.
Looking for an engineer who loves the craft, who cares about building product, and is excited about helping customers.

Interested in working with Reactjs, Om, and functional programming in the client? We're building a team that's able to reduce complexity others balk at into simple, easy to reason about system, so we can continue to move quickly and delight both customers and ourselves.

This is both UI and backend work.

Nothing here about crypto, and the risks of running crypto for two different applications on the same kernel (and with the same CSPRNG state) simultaneously.

Totally agree that having one's privacy protected from the private sector is important!

But it's more important to have one's privacy protected from those who, as I said, have the legal authority to torture, imprison, and rob.

Problem here being that any legislation, in current climate, will only restrict private spying and not government spying.

>And if your government has the legal authority to torture you, you need a new government.

Agreed!
Star Wars TOR went F2P and apparently, it was extremely successful for them and made the game profitable.

Guild Wars 2 has an initial purchase fee (usually on sale for $30), but no monthly fee. New content is subsidized through both functional and cosmetic IAP, although neither is game-breaking.

Elder Scrolls Online, however, is $60 + $15/mo, with no IAP. Everyone is expecting it to die a horrible death.

Oh! I absolutely don't think that.

The two parties in a two-party system (US; UK normally) are often poorly distinguished, straddling two sides of a dividing line but essentially at the same point. This is even worse for the franchise as voters don't have a real choice at all: just the illusion of one.

Sure, but when he says things like:

"So this is the old days:

[...]
Just remember that."

That's a complete and utter lie.
That's because Las Vegas is actually fair to the extreme. The odds are in place, they are what they are, and if you hit the lucky number, you win all the golds. There's no deception at all, except for that people enforce on themselves when they go there expecting to be that lucky winner.

What about the (somewhat proven) idea that pulling these 'power tricks' to keep up the act, and seeing them return positive results does cultivate the inner confidence we should be seeking.

How should one focus on cultivating a quiet confidence while never taking action? While it's true that often feigned confidence appears weak and insincere it is also one of the best ways to develop 'real' confidence..

We're all just faking it until we make it.

We’d love to hear from you at hiring@streak.com, please send us samples of anything you’ve built.
Looks interesting, but style of the program is terrible. Drawing function are mixed with model definition and sample circuit definition.

BTW resistance function do not handle division by zero.
The author made a disingenuous comparison. Dungeon Keeper didn't cost $5 when it was released many years ago. It costed $39.95. And there was not trial play ahead of time. Is he willing to pay for $49.95 (adjusted for inflation) for the iPad version before even playing it?

The in-app purchase got to this way because of gamer purchase behaviors. If the majority of the gamers are willing to pay upfront, you won't see in-app purchase. This is just like most people (at least in US) unwilling to pay the full price to buy the phone upfront but rather to pay for it with smaller monthly charges via the long term contract.

Gamers change their purchase behaviors and in-app purchases will go away.
Well, I am also very disappointed by nearly every mobile game I have ever seen, but on the computer and PS3/4 I still see good things done right. So don't really see the point here. The platform is obviously for little children with too much pocket money and people make lots of money serving them such kind of games. Looks to me like nearly everybody could be happy.

'Bold' should never be used synonymously for 'stupid' or 'reckless'.
I think this is incidentally how other hackers socially establish each other's credibility just in general. During my first week of college, almost every conversation with new CS people broke down to "so what have you made?" instead of the more standard social questions like "so what do you like to do?"
For the smaller trademarks, I'm not expecting every Microsoft reviewer to know about them. But for Facebook and Twitter? Yes, I'm expecting them to know something about that.
The strategy of releasing part of a game for free and charging for the full product is tried and true. This frees the game from in app purchases and allows the developer to make money. Sounds like a good, workable solution to me.
The presentation makes a good point that containers aren't universally "insecure".

For certain use cases they are absolutely fine because the trust boundary between containers or the kernel isn't critical:
* Deployment (immutable servers)
* Development environment (develop against same configuration as production)
* Test environment (try different distros)

But running multiple containers from untrusted parties on one host is risky. Let's face it, kernel exploits do come out periodically and when that happens, container boundaries can be breached.

At the end of the day, security isn't absolute. You need to consider how valuable your data is and make your own decision.
Now it seems obvious... thank you ;)
I don't mind at all when a game is free for the first few level but then asks you to pay to unlock the full version. It's basically the same as the old shareware model, giving you an option to try out the game before purchasing. It's only when paying money actually becomes part of the game that I start to feel ripped off.
This is also commonly used on Model Planes flying "First Person View". See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_AnqOFAs3Q for an example.
I picked France at random from the set of rich Western European countries. It was just the first one that popped into my head. /shrug/

I would predict the same outcome for England, Germany, Switzerland or Sweden.

Too your second point we were talking about where people would prefer to live not how happy they were or how free they were. Perhaps people would prefer to live someplace where they are less happy or free if it came with other benefits. Who knows.

Looking at net immigration rates is, I think, the best way to determine where people prefer to live.

Why do you think I "quoted" it, I agree it's ridiculous .. but at least it's qualified immediately after "and to the republic for which it stands".
Not that I know of. One should really be started, as the suggestion given is usually #startups on Freenode, and I didn't last 5 minutes in that room. Really poor experience from the start. Not that sharing #hn around is going to result in a better room, but it would be great to have some faster conversation around stories posted on HN, among other topics. I know I have had my mind changed, or at least challenged, regarding some of my beliefs from discussion here.
> Looking at net immigration rates is, I think, the best way to determine where people prefer to live.

I don't think it is. I would prefer to live in the U.S. because my family lives here, but it has been tremendously difficult for me to get here, and has taken many years. Similarly, it's quite hard to just move to Germany or Sweden if you have no connection to those countries.
Crappy mobile games are not "the game industry"; it's a perverted travesty, just like the rest of the disgusting app culture.
Un día especial. Cuento.
I love this:

"Key := Val Updates an existing Key
The key must be present in the old map. If Key is not in the old map Erlang will complain loudly.
Using two operations instead of one has several advantages:
A spelling mistake cannot accidentally introduce a new key"

Lord knows how many times I accidentally created a new key with a spelling typo, and then later when I wanted to retrieve the data, I was like "What the hell is wrong? I know I put data in that key, so why is nothing coming back? I guess I have discovered a rare bug in the compiler that no one has ever discovered before."
And yes, I'm nearly certain, more people move from Western Europe to the US than vice versa. Perhaps all of those measures of human development aren't all they're cracked up to be in comparison to other things?

Actions reveal preferences.

Where did I say there shouldn't be parental consent? But it should be (as much as possible) on an individual basis (like ski slopes) rather than a collective one.
Sure, the J variant has upgraded engines and avionics, but the airframe is the same. The article simply says that the PLA uses the "Soviet designed airframe" of the Tu-16 and the "Soviet designed [...] An-12." It states neither that the PLA is using 50 year old airframes, nor that they are using 50 year old avionics.

So the grand-parent's comparison is entirely valid. Both the USAF and PLA use aircraft in primary roles that were designed half a century ago. And, frankly, there isn't anything wrong with that in either case. Physics hasn't changed in 50 years.
