Indeed, one wonders whether that revelation might have been the entire reason for this belated post to HN. I don't particularly feel sorry for him, but ESR does get a hard time around here.
Apple isn't in a position to implement new taxes. Where the Government isn't showing leadership, it's beholden on corporations to show the way where they can.

By implementing these policies Apple can show leadership and influence their peers and support the clean energy industry. This is the right thing to do.
Yes please. I thought this would be listed first when I clicked on the link.

Has been a great set of speakers so far. I connect most with Elli's experiences fighting through all the "No"'s founders receive to get to the point of fully believing what you are doing is going to work if executed as you understand it.
Building a platform on top of a Google product, specifically Gmail, is a recipe for disaster. I sincerely hope that nobody who cares about their money or sanity does so.

He's commenting on a feature he would want that's not there. IMO, that's feedback (if a little harshly worded), and should be taken as such.

It's mostly developers posting here, but I thought I'd reach out from the post production world.

I'm a colorist with lots of experience in music videos, commercial, short and long form narrative. Experience with major brands/networks/artists (MTV, ESPN, BET, Coke, Sony, Chevy, Janelle Monae, Diplo, Travis Porter, etc). Knowledge of Alexa, Epic, F65, etc. Fully calibrated DaVinci suite with RAIDs, LTO, etc.

I wonder if any of the gain can be attributed to the bundling deals. Had to install adobe acrobat reader recently and noticed they try to install chrome and the google bar for IE
Agreed. I saw someone post the link on Twitter, and it was very interesting. Skipped back to the beginning and Adora Cheung's story (HomeJoy) just blew me away.
Suffice to say: anybody who has JavaScript enabled by default demonstratably does not care about their security. Interest and competence in security is indeed a spectrum, but somebody in first grade math still knows what 2 + 2 is.
"Free" as opposed to "paid" refers to one specific resource (money) being paid by the user to the developer. So yes, they are free in that regard. Otherwise you could start to argue that loading screens make an app non-free because they cost you time.
Yes, but a lot of people who like to put the word sustainability in scare quotes are against action on climate change. And a lot of people who preface mentions of the phrase climate change with "so called" are deniers.
"Climate change" used to be "global warming" until G.W. Bush's campaign came up with the new name to make it sound like a less alarming phenomenon.
In addition to the content sites I mention above we run an ad network. The WOT ratings are people objecting to the tracking cookies the ad network uses.
Didn't know about Audit. Very useful. Thanks.
I don't get it - consumers pay you to send a cease and desist letter for them?
Don't most compilers give a warning for this sort of thing?
Sweet fiddle, but putting the emphasis on the center letter puts it way too far to the right for any long word. Compared to the example on the Spritz website it's quite awkward. My eye constantly wants to shift left, while I can comfortably zone out on the highlighted letter in the Spritz example.

I'm curious as to how they calculate the "Optimal Recognition Position", but there is probably a better way to approximate it. I'm going to play around with some different positions.
> Global warming dropped from use because it is inaccurate (or more precicly is too broad to be useful).

Well, "Climate change" is even broader than "Global warming".
It's an interesting point. I think it's discouraging young male entrepreneurs.

Hacker School has special funding for women wanting to apply and while I consciously ignore this, sub-consciously, I feel that I have a less likely chance of getting in so why bother applying.

I had to update Chrome to get the Emulate feature. Awesome feature!
That's how the "Five Eyes" operate, so yeah.

The Five Eyes rationalize that it's perfectly normal to spy on enemies together, and share information, given that the Five Eyes nations all speak English.

Hey, no problem. Your initial statement struck me as a little odd too. I wouldn't have used quite so terse (?!) a response to you because HN etiquette frowns upon it - even though some cases (like perhaps this one) may warrant it.

>For those who wouldn't click cause it's "Female Founders" - so far it's been just as inspiring as Startup School (even for me as a man).

I'm not going to put words into your mouth. Can you explain what you meant by this using a different set of words?
Thanks guys ;). We made it free btw, and it texts you when the message on the front page changes.
Interested in checking out the Qt client and getting it running on BB10 (not sure if it's been done yet). Don't have much free time as of late sadly. I'll be sure to check out the repo tonight though.
Yanukovych was elected, not imposed. Remember, the current government is the product of a victory of a mob, not an election. The US and EU money men had a "powersharing" agreement set up and then some very, very brave young men won a pitched battle against riot police backed up by heavy weaponry.

But probably the real reason the protestors/rioters won was that many of the police went over. And that probably happened because an Interior Ministry armory in Lviv was captured by the rebels.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/24/world/europe/as-his-fortun...

Just remember, Yanukovych was elected, after the Orange Revolution. 80/20 is a large enough difference that they would have just gone for the EU. Obvious propaganda.
> IE is hardly evergreen. IE11 is curiously not available on Windows 8.0, although it is available on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1

Windows 8.0 will automatically update to Windows 8.1 so IE10 on Windows 8 will get automatically updated to IE11.

> They also publish update blockers [1]

You say this like it's a bad thing, some users don't want an evergreen browser. The point of the update blocker is to help those users.
It's also risk mitigation. Supplying your own electricity from solar farms is a pretty good way to avoid price volatility.

We've set our sights on disrupting the badly-broken data-to-insight-to-discussion workflow that for most business people still spreads clumsily across Excel, PPT, and email. We want to bring the data, the insights, and the discussion, together... into one thing. A ChartCube.

We are still quite small, just 5 of us. Just got our first office in downtown San Mateo and we're ready to jam. Our ambition has recently been series-A funded by Shasta Ventures, so we're good. And we enjoy the counsel of some awesome advisors in the Valley. You may note that it is unusual for a company that has not yet launched its product to receive a series-A. I think everyone who's seen the demo gets really excited. Love to show you our alpha.

We would love to hear from anyone who groks our vision and wants to get involved. There are some awesome technical opportunities posted on the jobs page: https://chartcube.recruiterbox.com/

For anyone who wonders how stock photography sites stay in business (it seems like a marginal business), I have a true story for you:

A friend of my spent weeks doing the graphics for a national marketing campaign for a new laptop (I think it was Dell).

The laptop maker selected 6 photos from a major stock photography site to put into their ads. The photos were totally innocuous.
We're not talking about the photo of the student trying to stop the tanks in Tiananmen Square. The photos were, for example, a smiling woman sitting on bicycle, a guy jumping in the air with his arms open.

The laptop maker $60,000 to license the 6 photos. (My friend got $7,000 for 7 weeks of work.)

I'm not sure if my story makes a point, but it seems like you have to price discriminate severely at the high end (really soak companies like Dell) and not expect much money from the New Yorker.
Adding UI heavy features with that library is going to be painful (especially a whole new tab interface). It's designed for a rather 'active' interaction with emails (I made it). Most of the auto reply algorithmic stuff can be accomplished through context.io
Problem is, Crake, we're doing something wrong. Three years I went to Conj, and the first year there were -zero- women attendees out of 300. Second year it was -three- attendees out of 300. Third year it was eight or nine. I don't know what Lynn and company managed to attract last year.

The people attending Conj are bright, well-spoken, polite. I didn't meet a jerk in three years, a crowd I was proud to be seen with. But WHERE WERE THE WOMEN? What is going on here?

We must do something. I don't know what. I'll agree with you that exclusionary events are counterproductive, but I can't see the harm in recognizing successful women who can show us how it's done.
Maybe the first tip should have been "use Chrome".

I've used Firebug and Firefox tools, but they don't add much. Firefox has a nice 3D feature that only helps "WOW" your friends.

Chrome is the only real tool today for developing and debugging web-apps.

Most environmentalists aim to reduce known human impacts on climate change. This is actually closer to reducing human control on climate change than doing nothing.

Much of the increase is driven by the government. In the last thirty years the ratio of administrators to students has gone from 9:1 to 3:1, and it's nearly all in response to extra government rules and paperwork.

Sorry, climate change deniers are stupid and crazy and/or evil. I prefer to call them climate delusionals. Right now we have a choice to either try to ameliorate climate change, or ignore it and watch civilisation collapse over the next century or so. It's a hard problem scientifically and politically, and the delusionals and their loby groups should receive nothing but contempt and derision.
I'm going to be very surprised if you have found something that major that they overlooked.

It's no longer called global warming because it's too easy for deniers to say, "Look, it's cold! Polar vortex! Therefore it's not happening!" The new terminology is supported by climate scientists to avoid giving the deniers a strawman to argue.
Wacko World With Kat Vecchione and Chuck Skull 03/01 by The Wacko Network
The point is that it's broad in a specific way that makes it easy to misinterpret. Global average temperature increase may not yield local average temperature increase, and the reasons can be complex. Having to first explain that to people that are seeing the opposite of what global warming seems to be saying is a road-block to useful discourse.

I hardly use any Microsoft software as a typical tech consumer, but by no means do I think they are going any where. They have a huge place in enterprise, and their R&D projects are something even I wish I could work with.

Microsoft might change their core audience, but by no means are they going away soon imo.
Technically yes, but the C++ spec gives the optimizer a lot of leeway, in ways that aren't necessarily safe.

Few programmers have a deep enough understanding of the C++ spec to realize things like how the optimizer is free to ignore NULL checks after a memory location has been accessed. They just see a `pointer == NULL` passing, then code failing on a null pointer.

And the problem is that they shouldn't need that level of understanding to write C++. The optimizer should be doing things like warning about unnecessary null checks that could degrade performance, it would notify the developer that there's a problem.

But that would cause issues for people working with large amounts of legacy code, so it's not done.
How much of Apple stock does NCPPR own anyway? Amusing to see that nowhere in its long whiny press release does it announce that it will divest itself of AAPL. Whatever happened to putting your money where your mouth is or voting with your feet?
Rapportive is an example of a company which seems to rely fairly heavily on heavy integration into Gmail.

I don't think IE10 has a better mechanism. If memory serves you can't upgrade past IE9 on... what, XP? Vista? I forget which. But point being, IE9 is the end of the line for some of the Windows versions.

Last time I used it (quite a few months ago) it wasn't recognizing about half the fields in the SSL negotiation. It wasn't useless, but aside from its decryption-capabilities[1] wireshark had it beat because it could recognize and parse nearly all the fields.

Could very well be. I am using a slightly older version of GCC.
That's the only way of creating function with state without introducing closure or making an object with __call__. It's very handy for accumulators and other bits of state which are inherent to the function you write. It's essentially a `static` variable declared inside a function in C and believe it or not it has it's uses.

Depending on a problem it can be worthwhile to use other techniques of creating stateful callables, but that doesn't mean you should never create a function with mutable default argument. It's there in the language - learn about it, understand how it works and why it works like this, then understand where to use it and use it where it makes sense. That's a pretty generic advice, valid for almost any language feature.
That's one reason why I invested around $30,000 in renewable energy features (passive and active) in the house I built last year. $3k per year amortised over 10 years for a low operating cost system, comfortable living and working environmnet? It's a no brainer.
careful there. we're not all the same -- some are MUCH more paranoid than others and I am yet to meet an antipathetic developer. ;)

>>But 99% of internet discussions about politics are crap.

It has always struck me as rather ridiculous to make a big deal about the distinction between anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic climate change. Whether or not climate change is anthropogenic, it is going to require a response. The argument might be that efforts should be directed at mitigating the negative effects of climate change, because it is futile to try and avert it, but climate change deniers aren't making that argument either. Indeed, if they really did concede that climate change is happening, but believed that it wasn't anthropogenic, then they should be even more worked up about it than the "radical environmentalists," because that would mean that Illinois is going to have the climate of Texas and there is nothing we can do about it other than figure out how to live with the resulting fallout.
Interesting..."There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth's atmosphere over the past 100 years," he told a US Senate Committee "If there were such a proof, it would be written down for all to see. No actual proof, as it is understood in science, exists."
It's a more accurate term. While climate change will cause increased temperatures, it also causes increased variability in weather.

Are you trolling here, or are you really implying that the JVM is bad? Could you elaborate?

I consider the JVM to be the best part of programming in Java. The JVM is fast, lets you write very portable code, and it gives you a great debugging experience. Plenty of other languages chose to target the JVM, like Scala and Clojure, for its quality.

That's not to say the JVM is perfect. I don't like type erasure for instance (I understand C# has 'better' generics). Nevertheless - and this idea comes up frequently - imagine if browsers ran VM bytecode instead of interpreting JavaScript. The browser would be totally language-independent. You could write in any language that compiles to the browser bytecode, and deploy the precompiled bytecode 'object' files. I mean, it is a great idea in theory, and it's exactly what the JVM has succeeded in doing, except that the JVM does it for operating systems and not browsers.

Of course, this is all a fantasy at this point. There's no possible way browser vendors would ever agree on a standardized virtual machine, much less all implement it (see DartVM).
Yes, Chrome for development all day. When I was using Firefox Firebug was a good tool but Chrome dev tools are just too nicely implemented, IMO.

I remember the first time I showed my coworkers 3D mode :')
I think this depends on what version of FF you are using. The devtools in Nightly at least have really come a long way. Two very handy features I use that Chrome doesn't have is blackboxing[0] and Shader debugging[1]
