> So a guy who has a political degree has the same voice as a guy who votes depending on which candidate has the nicest eyes?

What is the alternative? Yes we are NOT all equal. Some of us are more rational and intelligent than others. But how would you go about determining one's intellectual and moral worthiness? (Education? IQ?) And who gets to decide the criteria for superiority?

If you were as smart as you think you are...you would have considered these issues before making such a shockingly elitist statement.

Hi,

I built this for myself. However I thought HN users might like it too. It is basically a News site aggregator and newsgroup viewer, which has merging aswell as a re-ranking algorithm at its core to reduce the flagging penalties some sites apply to their submissions. The "Whats this?" section should give you more of an idea of what it is about.

In summary you should find it fixes the quality of articles you expose yourself to.

Thanks for checking it out.

If we let the free markets work we wouldn't even be discussing net neutrality. ISP monopolies and duopolies are the cause of this problem. If there was competition consumers would choose the ISP that gives them proper, fast access to the services they use (eg Netflix).
My take on this is that phones are only getting faster and people upgrade their phones far more frequently than they do their laptops/desktops. Compare what you're able to do with HTML5 apps today on modern phones to what you could do even 2 years ago and it's astonishing how fast things are progressing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that still seems like a lot of nines.

You will get any subsidy owed to you during your tax returns if you didn't already collect it. If you know your income will be lower you can write a letter stating your expected income and get the subsidy applied every month (at least in my state). In this case, during tax returns, you'd have to pay back any subsidy amount which you didn't deserve.

> One of the classic signs of a conspiracy theory is that it is not falsifiable: evidence to the contrary is actually evidence of the the theory!

"Evidence" that could be evidence in either direction isn't useful evidence. :) The theory that they probably failed to pay some party (whether financially or some other form of power-kickback) was my first thought on reading the initial story. It seems to be as valid of a theory as any other without clear evidence pointing either way.

Is that what happened? I honestly have no idea, thus I have no idea whether this incident points towards more or less corruption.

The idea in Django is that you really want to break up your project into several apps, with each app having just a handful of models and views. Aside from depending on some conventions such as a models and views file for each app, apps can live anywhere, so you can separate them through subdirectories if that works for you.

The forms API is, granted, not super easy to work with initially, but its abstractions are really powerful and bending them to your will is trivial, because everything is overridable.
I was puzzled by that argument as well. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison. Netflix is not a network provider. They do not route traffic. They are not a "peer". What traffic from Comcast are they going to offload, and to where?
Apparently they have been ddos'ed multiple times recently. I wouldn't have noticed, if it didn't appear on HN though. My impression is that they have people who are quite capable of dealing with these issues. I would rather have a provider that gets under attack, but has the resources to mitigate it, than one that is rarely attacked, but would be destroyed by it.

So if you want a web app, an android app, and an iPhone app, you have to code it up 3 different times in three different languages. The reason why the web exploded in popularity as a development target is precisely because it made it easier to target a larger number of customers. Imagine if Facebook had started out as a Windows XP / Linux / OSX native application. It never would have even got off the ground.

My take on this is that if you absolutely need the performance, go native and pick the platform you'll get the most customers on. If you're app is a glorified CRUD wrapper, though, HTML5 will probably suit your needs and you'll only have to code it up once.
I like the acronym!

I think HALT is also useful for introspection. Sometimes you are forced to function and make decisions in this state and you can learn a lot about yourself when this happens.

You can do this through work but it is probably better outside of that, through some sort of pastime that you can make difficult. Mountains, climbing and cycling are what I think of but there are many ways to induce HALT.

Intentionally push yourself out of your comfort zone every now and then and you learn a lot about your personal limits and your character. If you can't get on with yourself in a HALT state then how is anyone else going to?

A quote I've always liked, from "The Writing Life" by Annie Dillard:

Prototyping and R&D seems to be a great place for these people. Build MVP, start to build things up on the business end, show its potential, hand off to engineering and let them productionize it. "Idea men" have to at least bring their ideas to the point of implementation.

Alternatively, working on tooling, libraries, tricky bug fixes and other odds and ends may be good projects for the inattentive.

Agreed. However, this is not about the idea guy.

Not necessarily. You could share the bulk of your code between platforms and use whatever mobile ui framework you want for each platform. They're just window dressing, after all. Compare this to native iOS and Android development, where very little if any of your code can be shared.

Meaning no offense, I think you don't have a clue how politics work. Yes it is possible to ask every citizen cryptographically - although currently maybe 5% have the knowledge to participate - about every single issue but then that does not mean the overall system works.

When laws are passed, they are both compromises between major stakeholders (and aggregates of minor ones) and a relatively thought-through propositions. You just don't have a clue how much work it is to get laws in a shape that is technically, legally and politically feasible.

When you hold referendums for minor points of policies, you will get a package of policies that may not be workable, or worse: Because of the combinatorics of opinions, the final policy disagrees with the majority of the voters - just as in the current systems.

The simple fact that Django is an extremely mature framework with very experienced developers with a highly opinionated vision means that you'll definitely avoid a lot of work just because they've been addressing issues many years before Node even existed.

That said, it also comes with the baggage of the Python ecosystem. You're not going to find any support for async stuff like node (you'll depend on message queues for async stuff, but frankly there are really nice options out there), and you're not going to find anywhere near the amount of experimental projects. Django is used to solve the use cases of web developers that need to deliver.

I would stay away from it if you definitely need high performance or concurrency, but I have not seen many things comparable when it comes to well-engineered, pretty, and functional CRUD apps. Do not underestimate the difficulty of building those.
> Poking a hole directly to the container is a leaky abstraction. A reverse proxy like HAProxy or Varnish should be sitting in front of the container.

It might be a stupid question but I wonder what's considered a leaky abstraction in this case.

By the way, I'm not sure I fully understand your concerns over reverse proxy routing, but I recall that Ambassador pattern linking[0] is a suggested way of tying Docker containers over network. Also, these slides by dotCloud[1] may be helpful as well (I'm not sure if approaches described are up-to-date, though).

The problem at Github isn't a good example of the supposed deficiency of holacratic enterprises.

In the first place, the problem became as serious as it did because it involved Github's management, such as it was. Secondly, the founder involved in the incident was put on leave, and an apology was promptly and unreservedly issued. It is easy to imagine a more hierarchical organization circling the wagons, instead. In the end, Github may be an example of serious problem with a founder that was handled as well as possible.

There are a lot of ways software development does not fit within traditional management structures. For example, if you take traditional project management tools and try to predict a non-trivial software development schedule with them you are going to have a bad time. So we invent new, usually less-structured tools.

You can't do entirely without those structures, but minimization of hierarchy is the logical way to adapt management to the challenge of keeping software development orderly and making a business out of it, if that's your aim. If there is a deeper problem at Github it is likely that they didn't follow some of the other rules of thumb for software development organizations, like "don't hire jerks."
I did a little research on how they determine the visual acuity of dogs. Apparently it is done by training the dog to respond to lines on a background in order to receive a treat. Once the lines become so small that the dog no longer responds they have arrived at their answer.

What strikes me as odd is that they have taken a test designed for humans and modified it to be used for dogs. One issue with this is the fact that when a person takes a vision test they are trying very hard to discern the correct letter. Anybody who has gone thorough one of these tests will know what I am talking about. At some point you get to a letter size where you will spend considerable effort scrutinizing it. Is it a 'C' or a 'G'?

It seems to me that you should probably design a test for dogs that brings out a similar level of effort.

The Top Dumbest Hiring Mistakes Smart People Make
>I'm not knocking this or any particular xxxx-to-mobile platform, but as a native iOS and android developer, I would highly recommend just learning the native languages and frameworks.

First off I agree that native wins over some bundled HTML5 app anyday of the week.

But for many reasons companies still choose to use phone gap or another framework to compile HTML into a native app. The first and foremost reason is that a lot of organizations have plenty of web devs available with skills to build web apps.

Managers would rather leverage the skills they already possess. Believe me I do web dev as part of my job and I still try to make the case that Native is better for mobile. In the end it is cheaper to use developers they already have with tools the devs a familiar with (HTML/JS) than to hire several new devs to code against different mobile OS's.

Right or wrong Managers and Organizations like cheaper and faster.
H-Craft Championship is now freeware
I've been thinking along these lines recently, specifically service discovery for front-end load-balancers.

Most (all?) of the available reverse proxies will stop sending traffic to a server that is offline, but not discover them. There are solutions such as etcd which you can hook into, or you can write a toy application to use UDP-broadcasts to advertise "Hey I'm http://dev.local.com/ on port 4444", but there isn't a lot beyond that.

Templating configuration files and running "haproxy reload" is a common enough middle-ground, but I've seen it fail often. (Specifically keepalived not reloading correctly and still sending traffic to old nodes.)

ObRelated: Varnish is a beast that few people can configure easily. I'd love to work on a caching reverse proxy that was simple, extensible, and fast.
When I used it (forms), it sure seemed powerful in idea, but I ended up with a ridiculous amount of code to generate dynamic forms (different field types depending on the object instance).

I will safely assume that as a beginner I was missing some part of the puzzle, but I was never able to track down a good way to do it. Oh well.

India vs Pakistan Today

Is that the elusive shinty six?
Yes, this is a general problem, but that doesn't mean that it can't be ameliorated.

One of the most insightful things I read about health-care reform in the U.S. was this: a lot of people on the left would have preferred a single-payer system to what was actually enacted, but that really wouldn't have been feasible in the U.S. The reason single-payer is successful in keeping costs down is that the government sets prices. There's a committee of experts somewhere that sets prices of drugs, procedures etc, and periodically adjusts them based on technological advances, market conditions etc. This couldn't work in the U.S. because the pricing body would be subject to intense lobbying by medical suppliers, and would quickly reflect their interest in keeping prices high, rather than the public interest in lower prices. (I wish I had a citation, sorry.)

So does that mean single-payer medical systems are impossible? No, of course not. It works fine the U.K., Canada and Taiwan to name a few. In those countries, the kind of lobbying that dominates politics in the U.S. is simply illegal.

At the same time, not all special-interest lobbying is harmful. Consider the case of wheel-chair users. They represent a tiny fraction of the citizenry, but they benefit greatly from a law that requires public buildings have wheel-chair access ramps. That would saddle the majority with a small cost, but the public doesn't care either way. So the wheel-chair lobby has to put effort into getting the law passed, and it's a good thing if it succeeds!

So, yes, this is a general problem that has no solution. But that doesn't mean that corruption on the scale and scope that exists in the U.S. is inevitable, or that it's not really hurting U.S. democracy. It is.

I think we mostly agree.

Bitcoin is not bullion. Bitcoin is not bank notes. Bitcoin is not fiat currency. Bitcoin is something new.

In this case, when Buffett said that bitcoin is not currency, I think he specifically meant that bitcoin is not fiat currency, or any other type of currency where the method of measuring value is well understood.

The main idea behind value investing, as far as I can tell, is to buy things that are being sold for much less than their intrinsic value. If you can't determine the intrinsic value, then on what basis would you invest?

Not that bitcoin doesn't have value - it's just that for someone that practices value investing like Buffett, there's not enough information to decide to invest.
It's normally a matter of seconds until other clients can see a bitcoin transaction that you've posted for the network. The only way that will end up not being legit is if you've double-spent the funds - that won't happen if you're a legit user using a regular client, and for the most part even for a nefarious user it would require significant computing resources (e.g. you've already mined a block spending those coins but won't release it until you walk out of the store).

So the idea is that if you're a regular retail store, accepting unconfirmed transactions is fine. Unless a big exploit becomes known, any fraud you might happen to see certianly won't any higher than the credit card chargebacks you're getting now. If you're selling your house, you probably want to wait for a few block confirmations.

Not to mention there are other crypto-currencies with significantly faster block clearing times, and cryptocoin to cryptocoin exchanges are significantly easier to run than bitcoin to fiat exchanges.

So it really seems like all of this is only a minor inconvenience for bitcoin if anything. And there's certainly no reason to ever have to trust someone because "they've been legit in the past", that's an approximation of trust that previous systems have had to rely on but exactly what bitcoin avoids.

The particular particular Doorstep Of Ridhi-sidhi
I just came here to basically say the same; which I guess is the question shared by 80% of Docker's target market.

I have a box sitting somewhere which, like virtually any dedicated machine, is wildly overprovisioned for it's current usage patterns.

I would like to virtualize my services so that I can one day, when my needs outgrow my box, scale out without having to rewrite any code.

My box has limited IPs available, so I'll need the network between services to be private/internal.

How do I set that up with Docker?

I think it won't be until you can truly easily answer that question that Docker will really take off.
Let's take a look at that:

Quick, tell me which ISP provides fiber to the home with unlimited bandwidth? Only 1, so far, and only in limited areas. If it was ONLY our judgement that determined the quality, then I would be all for it. Unfortunately, there's sometimes a race to the bottom. Regulations help, to a certain extent, to control that. I know I wouldn't want open heart surgery provided by the lowest bidder.
I have to agree with kovacs. Simply saying "No" does not count as a reasonable answer to a reasonable question (and I agree in the fact that it sounds petulant).

If you disagree with the points put forth disemminate them and offer a rebuttal. Do you think that the presented cryptographic solution is one that is equivalent to money? if so why? I'm sure if I wanted to argue so I could think of some parallels or arguments to illustrate the point (possibly using the example of the current credit or financial systems, though I think I would personally disagree with those arguments). If not and you take exception to some other point raised state what that is.

Your response as it is provides 1 bit of information and that is only as to your opinion on a matter and is thus semantically useless.
