This has changed, I used to get this but since 2014 my job (10 hours a week) does not qualify for it anymore. I think the new regulations allow only people working more than 16 hours per-week (not 100% sure on the exact number).

Climate change scientists never tried to publish Apple financial data. And that's what we are talking about here. Nobody asked Cook to predict temperatures in Arctica in 2030. He was asked for the effect of the specific policy on company bottom line - the thing which is the job of the CEO to know. He did not give the facts, and you say that because people who asked that legitimate question are disagreeing with you on some other question it's OK to dismiss them. That's classic ad hominem, and that's exactly what's wrong with modern political discourse - instead of seeking to convince and prove, people seek to dismiss and make the opponent shut up, because there's no talking to those people anyway.
Try cache satellite or terrain maps.

That's why I love open source or hackable products. You don't need to whining to a shitty support forum to grind a kpi driven product manager to make empty promises.
FWIW, where I live and where I travel OSM maps are much better than Google Maps. Google Maps just lack the data.

Tell HN: Digital Ocean IP addresses largely blacklisted by MIPSpace
Advice: don't run a mail server at Digital Ocean.

I transferred my science site and mailing list to Digital Ocean, and a few weeks ago found it suddenly overtaken by a growing block-range blacklist by MIPSpace. Much of Digital Ocean's IP address range is now blacklisted by MIPSpace, which certainly degrades my ability to send mail.

Digital Ocean's reply to this:

-----------
At this time we are not sure if we can get this block removed. Mipspace does not email abuse and anyone can say an ip is bad and eventually they block the entire range.

At this time only a small % of our ip space is effected, nyc1 is the only location we offer that has less than 10% of all ip space on this list.. Personally, I would move to nyc2 if possible and reconsider who you email and what you email. They don't even follow quarantine removal processes. We're sorry we cannot accommodate your needs but will be more than happy to refer you to services that can relay to almost everyone in the world.
-----------

So on the one hand I understand their position; MIPSpace is a bad actor from what I've read. On the other hand Digital Ocean are in the business of renting IP addresses, with the implicit understanding that they are responsible for ensuring that this sort of block-level blacklisting isn't happening for addresses they rent out.

It is a frustrating situation all round for people like myself, who carefully manage our email and play by the rules, to be stepped on in this way by a combination of parties and bad incentives.
There are obviously better and worse ways to deal with bureaucracy, but I find it amusing your suggestion that one solution is to outsource it to countries known for bloated bureaucracies. I'm sure Greek scientists are by and large as good as German or Danish ones, so maybe the science should be sent to Southern Europe and the bureaucracy sent to ever-efficient Germany.

Or better yet, do away with all that "filler".
Can we infer from this that using ad-block is a form of low intensity class war? I (as an ad-block user) like this idea.

I think that its perhaps a bit of a stretch to call reddit an 'anti-capitalist' group, but for sure the capitalists are failing to find a way to extract profit from it, and this itself really interesting

Like other 'social media' (in the broad sense) enterprises reddit uses the products of users unpaid labour to reach an audience, and it attempts to make a profit from selling this audience to advertisers. Unfortunately for those wanting to profit from reddit, its strong community is resistant to being exploited in this manner. Im not claiming here that all or even most reddit users are 'anti-capitalists', or directly opposed to the profit making of reddit, but simply that there is not (or has not yet ben discovered) a means of adequately monetising its community which doesn't give the effect of taking control from said community, and things like the revolt against reddit gold and the use of ad-block are movements in this struggle over ownership.

I dont, personally, see any resolution to this impasse which maintains both a profit for reddit and the autonomy and control desired by the reddit community, and in this we are in some sort of agreement. The two are irreconcilable. I would choose to back the other horse though.
You are not free to leave the country, unless you are willing to spend your time in between borders. Many people are not as privileged as you are, for example I need a visa to go anywhere in the world.
And the elections may seem like freedom, but usually you have to choose between multiple sides of the same evil :P
</rant>
If you are in a non C-level salaried position, and you don't have a few million in liquid assets, it is exceedingly unlikely you are a 1%er.

I also use MapsWithMe; if I'm not mistaken, it downloads the vector data offline and then renders it on the fly incredibly quickly. Impressive stuff.
"including POI search" (if the data is present in OSM)

I guess some map providers might be pulling in other data sources, but in a lot of areas, OSM data doesn't have many POIs to find.

(the minimal effort way to improve this is to drop an anonymous note on the map, using the not very prominent button at the bottom of the right panel: https://www.openstreetmap.org/ )
The problem with "the problem" is that there is no uniquely specified problem. The article is concerned with the use of key performance indicators by administrators to allocate resources to scientific projects in many fields. Math and computer science are also affected by this, contrary to what you say.
Isn't a think tank basically the same as lobbyists, e.g. legalized corruption? Think tanks push an agenda, which creates laws beneficial to the business interests of the think tank's backers, which creates $Bns in profits.

In that view, think tanks are probably the most profitable business there is. Certainly the highest ROI when it works out. Politics can be bought for hundreds of thousands, but bring in billions.
Does OSM have bike paths? Does it have bus routes, train schedules? Can it tell you the route to take to get from point A to point B on public transit? Does it know about current closures? Does it search based on info other than address?

I ask because I've been using Google Maps to travel and those features have been invaluable. An offline map is usually missing those features. The schedules are not up to date and searching by context requires data not usually part of map data.
I think the success of it would depend on your judiciousness of valuable content
It can do it on the iPhone as well if you search for 'ok maps' It's bizarre that it's hidden feature.
i think you're missing the point a little bit.

> yes F# has those, but afaik so do a myriad of other languages. Even before F# saw the daylight. I'm also not sure what is half assed about them, the implementation seems quite complete?

it's true, but c# advocates in microsoft have been quite parasitic in their behavior of pushing the language(inside of microsoft). they have also been averse to competition. i remember it's not too long ago, that we weren't really sure if microsoft was about to pull the plug on f# or not.

there haven't been too many clr languages, and ironpython was suffocated fairly quickly. yes you can use clojure on the clr, but who's using that, and is a meaningful customer to microsoft?

f# has been really smart in it's behavior in my opinion, by fairly quickly targeting the microsoft enterprise stack, stuff like share point, dynamics, and other crap like that.

it's also a hybrid language that is close enough to c# that you can claim c# developers can just pick it up. you could argue that good developers can pick up any language, but we're not talking about good developers here. we're talking about something that is more akin to factory work.

this is just my opinion, but i think the biggest customers of microsoft are government, government contractors, and people that sell to government contractors.

it's not about whether f# is really revolutionary or not. f# is very close to ocaml. f# is revolutionary to the microsoft enterprise stack.

asp.net mvc wasn't revolutionary either, but it was revolutionary to the .net culture.

I agree with you entirely. The problem is time and money, both of which aren't plentiful. Every file requires consideration individually to preserve it.

As per most humans, I didn't bother to make a tradeoff when I picked tools for the job therefore incurring this cost later (now).

Some good suggestions there, particularly with respect to mp3s. Thanks for these. Already use Lightroom though which is a royal pain to shift to another platform as the metadata isn't portable to other software easily.

Does anybody know of open source vector rendering engine for OSM that I could incorporate into an iOS app? I'd like to get away from using tiles.
Whenever I've tried that feature in the past year or so, it says that "this area can't be cached" (presumably due to licensing restrictions).
There is support for capturing bus routes and a reasonable scheme for bike paths (and bike access, lanes and such). But the data is not necessarily complete. In some areas it will probably beat Google, in other areas not.
Do you really want EU bureaucrats examining each game and deciding how playable it is with or without certain item? If the game is that bad - uninstall it, write one-star review for it and be done with it.
I think you have a couple of problems.

1) You're obviously a troll with a 20 hour old account, so you feel like you need to get trolling early today.

2) You assume that people who disagree with you on some topic have "rejected science as a legitimate world view". You should try to reexamine this assumption, as you may find out it's invalid.
> Does OSM have bike paths?

Actually, where I live it's OSM which has excellent bike paths and Google Maps which hasn't (posted an example above).

And yes, of course it has bus routes and can route using car mode, walking, bike, public transit. Using applications like Osmand you can do much more complex queries than Google Maps, optimize by time, by length, prefer means of transportation X, etc.

Of course every offline app potentially has the stale data problem, but for me, it's actually OSM with the better data.

YMMV.

I have a serious problem with this form of philanthropy, and in its mroe extreme form this libertarian desire to replace tax with voluntary donations to 'charity', and it is quite simple.

It basically implements a system of 'one dollar, one vote'. This gives more power to those with money than those without and therefore creates the perfect framework for sort of positive feedback which allows the rich to kep getting richer and the poor poorer.

As long as private profit, or more specifically private ownership of the means of production (that which allows some to get rich from others labour) then I have more faith in the state than private interests to determine the allocation of resources. This doesn't preclude a critique of the form or functioning of democracy within state, which I think is crucial.
Could you elaborate a bit on what you are building? Sounds fairly interesting.

The Climate Corporation (San Francisco, Seattle, INTERN/H1B) - http://climate.com/careers
The Climate Corporation's mission is to help all the world's people and businesses manage and adapt to climate change. We use a combination of weather monitoring, agronomic modeling, and weather simulation to provide real-time pricing and purchasing of customizable weather insurance to farmers in the United States.

Climate's technical staff numbers around 80, and we're hiring full-time employees and interns across many teams as we expand efforts on a new class of decision support tools for growers. Work is split across groups focusing on web applications for farmers and agents, risk and insurance policy management, internal platform and data services, and scientific modeling and research, with roles for:

1. Software engineering generalists with solid CS fundamentals, particularly anyone interested in building (i) entirely new, large-scale distributed data services for scientific computing (we use Clojure); and (ii) web applications (Rails, Python, Javascript, and iOS) used by farmers to manage weather risk.

2. Quantitative researchers in statistics/ML, stochastic optimization, remote sensing, atmospheric physics, and agronomics. Our goal is to forecast statistical distributions of crop yield for any piece of arable land, synthesizing satellite images, digital elevation models, weather data, agricultural statistics, and geological surveys into multiscale models that underly our data services.

3. Experienced technical team leads, operations engineers, product managers, and designers to pull all this together into a compelling product.

The scale and interdiscplinary nature of the work drive a lot of cross-collaboration within the company, supported by a pressing need to build durable solutions to some very important problems.

Competitive salary, excellent benefits, stock options, etc. Our 25% time is lumped into two-week sabbaticals. The usual details about these positions are here: https://hire.jobvite.com/j?bj=o7B8Wfww&s=hackernews
