Wow, /h/ is so much faster than standard Gmail. I'm legitimately going to use it all the time from now on.
Its a bug, and the 'AI' is trying to fix it.
That link is incorrect. That data is on the wrong fork. Dogecoin is on 1.6, that is on 1.5(Dogecoin had a hard fork yesterday, the site hasn't updated the fork).

If you look at the actual data, Dogecoin is at 101.2% of it's daily volume, and if you go in $USD value, it is slightly over triple Bitcoins daily $USD trading.
Dicks to chicks ratio at tech conferences is abysmal.
You still pay for GMail, in the form of being a captive audience for ads.
Works fine for me. They also have flexibility in how spam is handled, and you could even forward to gmail and back if you really wanted to use its spam filtering. https://www.fastmail.fm/help/spam_virus_protection.html
Actually, Assembly is sometimes called Mnemonic Assembly. Mnemonic roughly means "a device such as a pattern of letters, ideas, or associations that assists in remembering something." Assembly was developed to help humans write machine code more easily. It is machine code that is not for humans. Assembly certainly is. (Although, as a historical note, humans have often written raw machine code in a number ways, including toggling it in via switches)
That guys data is wrong. The link he gave you is on the 1.5 fork, while Dogecoin is on the 1.6 fork. If you look at data from the 1.6 fork, Dogecoin is passing 100% of its net value in daily transactions. The article is right, his info is wrong(since the fork was only yesterday. That site has not updated yet).
The article left me with lots ofdoubt... Take this sequence of events:

Bought 20% of company.

made it private.

Sold London route.

So, how can someone with 20% make a company private? And how can someone having his shares bought back after company went private still command it to sell anything?

Was he ceo all along?
Sort of. You give out your gmail address to untrusted sources that will sell your address (Forums? Misc. Websites?) and your private addresses to trusted sources. You can't count on your communications with untrusted sources being secret in the first place; they are untrusted!
Not really. Let's look at what is generally known:

1. We may if we are lucky know the time in transit.

2. We may know the signal strength.

Unless you have the same signal being intercepted by multiple (minimum number is 3) satellites, you can't triangulate. From a single satellite, you can probably extrapolate from either of these to some extent the location, however you can't do this with any precision beyond a full circle arc.

A good parallel might be earthquake detection and the location of an epicenter. Both these involve tracing a location based on the strength of weakening waves reaching detectors. To locate an epicenter, you need detection of the earthquake by three independent detections. One gives you very little information. Two gives you a line of possibilities. Only with three do you get a chance to determine exactly where the waves originated from.

Now if you know signal strength, and you have two detections, you know it is somewhere in a line based on signal strength, but you can trace it to two more precise possibilities if you have time in transit. Based on the information we have it sounds like they must have two satellites picking up on the signal and comparing times in transit.

In my opinion, they don't. If you use an IDE like Eclipse where deprecated methods are clearly marked by a strikethrough and marked with a compiler warning, I don't see the big deal. And the bonus is that old code still compiles with new versions (and there is something to be said for backwards compatibility, a la "This presentation is not compatible with Keynote" discussion from a few days ago)

The theory was obviously wrong even when it was on the front page of HN two days ago:

1. It does not account for course changes made after the initial diversion from the flight path.

2. It does not account for the final known location of the aircraft along the infamous "arc" off of Australia and Kazakhstan.

The popularity of the theory was and remains puzzling.
All of that said, I'd much rather people work poorly from home with awkward expectations than come into the office and infect the rest of us! Realistic expectations or real sick days are better still, of course.

Essentially, a deflationary and decentralized currency encourages "our greedy nature" rather than discouraging it. Inflation is often referred to as a subtle tax, because it devalues currency. Thus, you're incentivized to spend your money rather than save it. Deflation, as the inverse, increases value of currency and incentivizes you to save your money rather than spend it.

There's nothing particularly deep about libertarian philosophy. (Though there are different amount of nuance depending on which flavor of libertarian you manage to get into a conversation with. Some of them are competent thinkers; I have found them to be exceedingly rare.)

Many flavors extol the virtues of selfishness, though. You'll find this is particularly true with libertarians who agree with Ayn Rand. Even those who don't will generally say that people should look to their self-interest (it no longer appears popular to invoke the invisible hand at this point; maybe because of the intervening years of people noticing that Adam Smith had a lot to say that contradicts libertarian ideas) and use abstract forces like the price mechanism to determine policy. (This is a very rough sketch.)

...and anyways, I'm spending too much time trying to be fair. Libertarianism is fucking stupid, which is an opinion I have based more on its political bits, which is a teenager's idea of society, than on its economic bits, which I'm willing to concede more because I'd rather claim ignorance than because I think there's any merit there.

The point is that looking out for number one is a cornerstone of varying intensity in libertarianism and Bitcoin's deflationary and decentralized nature plays very directly into that.

For Gmail to reach full interactivity it takes at least 6 seconds for me quite often. Keep in mind that after the interface initially shows up, it's still very sluggish for a few seconds as it loads in Google+, the chat section, etc.

That said, I recently found out about the /h/ option in this thread and it loads instantaneously--faster than FastMail.

I'm not here to defend the system. I'm somewhat sympathetic to the concept of patents generally and particularly as applied to drug development, but all I'm really going for here is

> There will be individual cases where it's not true

I feel like we agree.

Side note as to drug development: if we assume patents are a way to subsidize research into an area felt to be socially beneficial, it shouldn't be too surprising when multiple people go for (relatively) low-hanging, or particularly desirable, fruit, and sometimes get there simultaneously. But in that model we still needed the subsidy to get out of the system state where zero people were doing such research. It doesn't necessarily make sense to turn around and say that we're going to take away patents when too many people discover the same thing at once -- if the patent system was necessary to get the research done at all, scrapping it will scrap the research too. Refusing to grant patents out of obviousness isn't the same concept as refusing to grant them in an effort to avoid wasteful research effort collisions.

Can't industries also be disrupted by evil government bureaucrats taking them over, by ordering in jack-booted stormtroopers to drive out all competitors, for the benefit of the all-powerful state?

Or does that not count as disruption because it's not a scrappy underdog?

My problem with Goodfellow's theory, and what really makes this disappearance so intriguing, is that they never found any wreckage anywhere. I would figure with the plane crashing in the ocean somewhere(which would be the most likely scenario in Goodfellow's theory) I would figure they would find SOMETHING by now considering how many resources are being poured into this search.
It seems similar to how GPS is used to find location - you only know the distance from each satellite, not the direction. Contact with one satellite places you on an arc (or circle), two sats put you on one of the two spots where the arc around each intersects, and three isolates your position to a single intersection of three arcs at established distances from each satellite. (And four gives you altitude.)

I think you're missing the nuance of what timr is saying.

He's not saying that the regulations that the Seattle City Council chose to impose were the right ones to impose. He's saying that the inverse argument--that there should not be any regulations at all--isn't correct either.
Also I've done similar research to the GrandParent commenter on the internet and there is a lot more to it than just having open parents. A lot of orphans or adopted children are also spectacularly successful. Imagine having to live the fact that your biological parents "abandoned" you or something along those lines. Here are some of those people.

1. Steve Jobs

2. Jeff Bezos (you could argue that he had a relatively healthy upbringing, went to Princeton, etc).

3. Roman Abramovich (probably not most upstanding example).

Other (financially) successful people that grew up poor:

4. Howard Schultz (Starbucks): "Growing up I always felt like I was living on the other side of the tracks. I knew the people on the other side had more resources, more money, happier families. And for some reason, I don’t know why or how, I wanted to climb over that fence and achieve something beyond what people were saying was possible. I may have a suit and tie on now but I know where I’m from and I know what it’s like."

5. Oprah Winfrey (grew up relatively poor, had a harsh upbringing, I think she was assaulted when she was younger?)

6. Luxury goods mogul Francois Pinault quit high school in 1974 after being bullied for being poor.

Here are some more stories from rags to riches:

http://www.businessinsider.com/billionaires-who-came-from-no...

There are also a ton of people that are excellent in their fields (academics / science / NGO founders) who are successful by a different metric (not wealth).

I think the key determinant is to keep trying, keep learning and persevere through stuff life throws at you. It can be difficult in the moment but you need to objectively keep asking yourself what you can do everyday / regularly to achieve what you want 1 year from now, 5 years from now, or generally in the long term.

Also, in the worst case scenario if you are relatively healthy you should be able to get yourself to live a modestly comfortable life and be a successful husband/wife, mother/father, member of community, contributing member of society, etc.

Any onboard fire fast and strong enough to suddenly disable the crew would almost certainly also bring the plane down in short order, rather than letting it fly on for hours (as the supposed satellite data shows).

I have a feeling that Sony will do quite the opposite. They're already using an LCD display, which Oculus has moved away from because the pixel refresh rate is too slow. If Sony are already showing a lack of understanding in one area, it's quite possible that they'll be neglecting other areas that Oculus have been putting a lot of R&D time into. I think what's likely is that someone high up in Sony knows about Oculus and commanded his minions to "make us something like what Oculus is doing". There is no doubt in my mind that it'll fall short in numerous areas.

There's only one satellite, so they only have (as far as we know) the delay time between sending out the ping and hearing a response to determine distance from satellite to aircraft, with no ability to triangulate the position as something like GPS (which uses many satellites) would do. So they can figure out a large curve around the satellite's position, and the aircraft could have been at any point (within the limits of its fuel capacity) when it sent out that final ping.

The whole concept of fizz buzz for an in-person whiteboard interview is absurd. The type of candidate who would fail that test should have been filtered out way earlier in the process and the type of candidate who hasn't been filtered out by that point (i.e., a 'top candidate') would be extremely insulted.

I think the people who ask asinine questions like this haven't done their due diligence going in. They haven't looked at the candidate's online presence (including GitHub) nor even read her resume.
Thank you for posting that.

It seems that the rebuttal consists of claiming that the evidence we public thus far have been presented is wrong, people involved are not providing the entire truth, etc.

That's possible. But why not work with the information as presented instead of willing it away?

At least in the position on the right, that's not good form. You can see the intent on the top of the wrist, which means you're not in a neutral position for typing. I can't tell what's up on the left.

I used to think checked exceptions were mostly an annoyance. Then one day, when working with a library doing I/O in Haskell, I realized that I couldn't pattern-match on whatever exceptions it may throw because I didn't know what they were and the type system was no help. Since then, I learned to live with the verbosity.
Actually, with two speaker headphones you can achieve any level of spatialization perceivable by human ears.
In Goodfellow's hypothesis the wreckage will be found west of the Maldives shortly. It wouldn't have been found up to now because they have been searching in the wrong places. I have not been blown away by the Malaysians efficiency in doing the search and analysis.
The ping data did not come from Rolls Royce, it came from the SATCOM provider. Rolls Royce did not receive data after the aircraft reached cruise altitude, despite early false reports that they did.

The early maneuvering was seen on military radar and is confirmed (Malaysia flew another 777 along the same route and monitored it on radar and the signature matched). The positional arc that has been frequently shown is from the final SATCOM ping the aircraft responded to, roughly 7 hours after takeoff.
I upvoted you, but I'm not sure I agree. If you look at people who've really disrupted industries, they don't tend to be like Carl Icahn. Increasingly, as I read up about what happened during the M&A boom of the '80s, it does seem to me that finance played an essentially destructive role during that decade and the three that have followed. I don't see very many advances that would have been impossible without the financial industry. Instead, I see an industry which has become focused on short-term profits in exchange for long-term bailouts. Carl Icahn epitomizes this trend. That's why so many people hate him.
