I'm Canadian too! And been lectured to about it.
If her problem with it was that some random other guy openly finding some random other girl attractive in her workplace "makes her feel unsafe", then that would be highly hypocritical, as she admits she was dating a coworker and that other coworkers knew this, which can only encourage others to think it's OK to make romantic advances to coworkers.

I mean, you can't have it both ways. If you think men and women should always without exception be only cold and businesslike towards each other in your workplace, then don't date a coworker. Isn't that obvious?
Ugh. It was clear when I said that "voters aren't rational" that I meant "Voters as a class do not vote in their own best interests." No reasonable person reading my post and trying to understand what I meant would have interpreted that statement to refer to the fashionable (and absurd) game-theoretic definition of "rationality".

(Not to mention that "rational ignorance" doesn't explain current voting patterns. Nobody informs themselves politically according to a mixed strategy, and deliberately uninformed people do not abstain from the voting process.)
Having done a lot of camping in my time, this was the first thing I thought as well. If you haven't got somewhere to poop and somewhere to get rid of it, life is miserable. Believe me, burying it isn't fun.

Seems like one of those idealistic almost art project houses rather than something you could actually live in.
Ouch. Turns out, the thing that has hurt Metro is the lack of competition. If Firefox don't think it's a threat, then they've looked at the awful market share of the platform and realized it's not something to put resources into.
Looks interesting, what are people's thoughts on this?
Why didn't they just create an html version of this? No need to render a gazillion videos
Ask HN: best resources/tutorials on "building HTML5 RTS games"?
I've never built a game in HTML5, but i'm talking about something MUCH easier than, eg.: http://goo.gl/v4dFSi (no 3d, and maybe even "no animation") ...something closer to the risk board game than a full featured 3D game.

Plus: If you know how to build this kind of games (in HTML5) and you're interested in a (i guess good) idea
please contact me on twitter @ricricucit

I've found things like phaser.io and a map editor (http://www.mapeditor.org/index.html)
but since i don't have any clue on how to start i'm looking for
something a bit more specific on RTS games.

Thanks.

Actually I think our weather and ground is favorable as well as clay being abundant. I imagine wood is more abundant in the US seeing as we either protected or chopped down our forests.

With the product (and the videos) being (about) the users themselves, it starts to make sense.
Pretty much every major site will completely ignore not only your browser's language settings but also onsite user account settings and other desperate attempts at selecting the language. The only thing that matters is your IP address.

For example, accessing Google: my browser is set to accept English only. I'm entering the English URL. In my account settings I periodically reset everything I can find to English (settings apparently decay, too). Google knows I want the English version. Yet, they still give me the interface in whatever language my IP address comes from. And not only the UI, search results as well.

Recently it's gotten even worse than that: Google figured out I'm actually German, so they start defaulting to German more often now - ignoring everything else. At least with the IP address-based routing it was impersonal.

I happened to be in Sweden when I linked my Facebook calendar to my Google calendar. Ever since that day, my friends' birthdays are given to me in Swedish. Facebook knows I want English, yet for some reason this is how it's got to be.

The same abuse is apparently considered best practice at new startups as well: recently I was testing a browser game for an acquaintance who's on their development team. Because I was in Portugal at the time, I of course got the site in Portuguese. Manually switching that to English, the game still started up in Portuguese. It's been doing that ever since. Every email I get from that company is in Portuguese, too, even though I tried everything I could to set my language to English.

It's a source of endless frustration, maybe even a hostile act. They're effectively saying "Your choices don't matter, we know what's best for you. You're from country X, so you _must_ speak Xish. People are on the internet to enjoy regional separation. Really, it's best."
> They infer your language from your IP address, and for most cases that IS the right thing to do.

If IP and accept-language don't match, why not make a prominent button (in the language they didn't pick) to allow you to quickly change?
Ego, greed, absence (or loss) of vision... This is how products are "improved" over time.

For the most part, it's a natural result of a process driven by the demands of growth and managed by psychopaths.
Dudes do it for dudes all the time. Its just one more way to acknowledge others, as is thanking someone that holds the door for you.
Except for the `fi` ligature and the thing with the Q, they look the same in Firefox on Linux as well.
A rockets, cars and solar billionaire has a very different public image than a big data billionaire though.
I suppose the Russians will be telling their people that the "West" did it themselves in order to make Russia look bad, just like the "Ukranian" unmarked fascist troops surrounded their own bases "for the laugh" and now want a part of their country annexed.

Sigh
I just fixed dolphin-emu.org, this was a bug in our code that would not detect en-US as being "compatible" with en. See https://github.com/dolphin-emu/www/commit/ddef974c6f601bc2db...

As a French guy leaving in the German part of Switzerland with Accept-Language configured to get English content, I'm kind of ashamed to have that kind of bug in my language detection code. I'm always complaining about other websites language detection, looks like I should have looked at my own code first!
Namecoin is not controlled by anyone in particular. If it grows in demand and people want the inflationary feature (or anything else), it will be implemented by the network.
That estimate might be a tacit admission to the problem of all the fake accounts out there.
Isn't the Secret post screenshotted in the article itself one reason to doubt her character? Of course it may be all lies... it's just an anonymous comment and anyone could have written it, including the guy whose advances she spurned.
Citation spam is usually an attempt to prevent article deletion, especially pertinent as it's been deleted [0] and merged into bitcoin [1] in the past.

What does meeting the renter personally accomplish? You won't be able to tell that he is planning a XXX Freak Fest tomorrow. Even if you do, cancelling the reservation after meeting him might get you kicked out of AirBNB as a host.
Firstly, it comes to mind that someone could easily orchestrate a series of incidents like this to impair Airbnb's potential, especially in a particular location. If they deny a payout, anyone who doesn't own their place will think again.

Secondly, admittedly Booking.com and so on don't "verify" a customer beyond email and credit card, but it's hard to imagine a hotel piping up like this for being referred a dodgy customer.
I was under the impression that it had been shut down.

They announced in 2011 that they would no longer add new content to the archive (the last new addition had been in 2009), which I took as indicating a future phase-out: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2385664,00.asp

Then in 2013 they removed the archive-search functionality from Google News (these newspapers used to come up in Google News if you chose "archive" or an old enough date range). The direct URL to the archive search also stopped working a bit after that; if you go to http://news.google.com/archivesearch you now just get redirected to the main Google News homepage.

I assumed that was the completion of the phase-out, and that it was no longer available. Didn't know about the new URL. Cool that it's still online. I hope they plan to restart/reintegrate the project at some point, but at least leaving it in a frozen-but-accessible state is still useful.

This is where it started:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1790.0

satoshi's comment on the matter, posted 4 days before he left the forum.

"I think it would be possible for BitDNS to be a completely separate network and separate block chain, yet share CPU power with Bitcoin. The only overlap is to make it so miners can search for proof-of-work for both networks simultaneously.

The networks wouldn't need any coordination. Miners would subscribe to both networks in parallel. They would scan SHA such that if they get a hit, they potentially solve both at once. A solution may be for just one of the networks if one network has a lower difficulty.

I think an external miner could call getwork on both programs and combine the work. Maybe call Bitcoin, get work from it, hand it to BitDNS getwork to combine into a combined work.

Instead of fragmentation, networks share and augment each other's total CPU power. This would solve the problem that if there are multiple networks, they are a danger to each other if the available CPU power gangs up on one. Instead, all networks in the world would share combined CPU power, increasing the total strength. It would make it easier for small networks to get started by tapping into a ready base of miners."

"@dtvan: all 3 excellent points.
1) IP records don't need to be in the chain, just do registrar function not DNS. And CA problem solved, neat.
2) Pick one TLD, .web +1.
3) Expiration and significant renewal costs, very important."
> I hold the door for everyone, because it's polite, not because someone is whatever gender.

Exactly why I do it.

I've resigned myself to the fact that some people are just assholes. It's a trait that's not gender specific.
Cool idea. Reading your post I thought, "This is obviously wrong," but it's growing on me the more I think about it (making it the best kind of comment to read.)
I would be really impressed if people queued up in droves to pay hard currency for this, like they did back in the day! Incredible to think of it now.

One thing that could be done with this is to make an Android 'daydream' screensaver. That would be 'useful'!
I'm running an English version of Windows 7 in Sweden. The accept-language headers in each of my installed browsers are:

* IE9: sv-SE

* Firefox: en,sv;q=0.5

* Chrome: en-US,en;q=0.8,sv;q=0.6

I'm going to go ahead and suggest that the reason English comes before Swedish is due to my system language, and that Swedish otherwise would come first. The "users will have the wrong settings" argument seems moot to me.
Not by the hula hoopers
I know http://bop.fm/ has an API that can get you a link to any song on a variety of services. RapGenius uses them.
There are currently 1-2 developers working on Namecoin (mostly Khan, another core developer died recently). Namecoin itself has quite a few issues. The design is only the beginning.
It's fine if she doesn't like men oogling hoola hoopers. That's a personal preference. It's another thing to turn that into a general discussion of sexism and claiming at the same time that all men are rapists waiting to happen (which the "feeling unsafe" bit seems to imply).
This brings back memories. Whatever happened to screensavers? It seems like nobody uses them anymore. My favorite was always johnny castaway though.
What would be a good upgrade path for my 2x 24 ? Id like to get more realestate instead of just more crispness though, so i am thinking about 2x 32 inch to run at native res. Or maybe just go with 2x 27" 2560x in the meantime until prices and technology catch up.
This info makes the last item of the article even more bizarre. I'm starting to think this was reported inaccurately by TC. Maybe she was really referring to a separate incident that happened at the hula dancing event, an incident we don't have any information about. Otherwise, this makes no sense.
I would find women doing hoola hoop in the office a bit odd. Maybe it really depends on the company culture, but I don't see how either things could be called inherently sexist or threatening.
That doesn't make any sense. Just choose a random house with valuable stuff in it, break in and clear it out? Getting past the door is the least of your problems, why go all that trouble with AirBNB? It doesn't make it less of a crime.
'Respect' is a pretty loaded word. Are you saying the guys staring at (fellow employee) girls hula-hooping in the same office should just close their eyes? What if the girls were just sitting, drinking coffee? What about juggling 6 balls on the air? What about picking their noses? What about picking each-others noses?

Where does this nonsense end? If (almost) all my co-workers are staring at me as I adjust my belt, standing in the middle of the lunch room, I will do that activity in the confines of a men's room next time. If the same thing happens as I stretch my leg muscles before a run, I will do that activity outside. Why is it my co-workers' fault if they stare at me if I do something that is not the norm?

If being merely 'looked at' troubles you, then you need to look at yourself before closing others' eyes.

"Why are you uncomfortable?", should not be that hard a question to answer, clearly and succinctly, for something that evokes such a strong response from you.
I find myself almost perpetually annoyed by the bureaucratic arms of big organisations, HR and IT in particular, but what you've written is, in my view, a (terrible ;-)) truth.

I think a balance of conservative and progressive opinion is required for almost any organisation to operate effectively: (genunie) progressives drive us forward, and (genuine) conservatives stop us going over the cliff - it is pretty much as simple as that. Unfortunately, finding the appropriate balance for any particular situation can be extremely tricky, so largely we get it wrong, and just stumble along, grumbling to ourselves about how stupid and ineffective everything is.

On the assumption that there are genuine problems within Github, hopefully this situation will at least give them a chance to engage in a bit of rebalancing, and find a more sustainable path for their future. This is, of course, the problem of solving problems by trial and error - you have to deal with the errors, and in cases like this the errors can be quite painful for the people involved.
Google News used to do that (and this newspaper archive was part of it, along with some others), but they seem to have pivoted towards only current news. Not entirely sure why. During the time that it had that functionality, I often found it useful.
If the estimate was for people who would see the video, why would fake accounts see the video?
I know this is beside the point, but I'm just curious. What did Horvath do at GitHub? Design UI or write code?
They announced in 2011 that they were no longer going to be updating the archive, so I would guess there isn't a way to do so: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2385664,00.asp

You might try archive.org? https://archive.org/details/newspapers
What is the tech angle to this? Basically people fighting with other people over personal issues. Don't understand why techcrunch is covering this.
AirBNB has insurance for cases like this. It's not much different from getting a hotel room, would you say a hotel's management was stupid if this happened at their property?

> "You went on a website, found a stranger, accepted money in exchange for your keys. Then they messed with your furniture. Now you want $87k."

Try re-reading that phrase in the context of a standard long-term apartment lease. What's strange or stupid about that?
I'm interesting in developing services on top of Namecoin / other p2p more-than-currencies (MasterCoin/Ethereum?). Please mail me (kushtech [at] yahoo (dot) com) if you want to discuss related things or join me. I'm Scala/Java/etc developer myself / entrepreneur also in past and future.

It really surprises me that somebody can get away with such destructive behaviour as reverting someone else's commits without reasonable cause. What justification is there for not firing on the spot anybody who puts their own personal vendettas over the good of the project?
I'd consider it very offensive. This person openly thinks I'm stupid and still wants to date? There are so many negative feelings there; I cannot even begin do describe them all.
Actually it can make it easier to cheat in a sense - if you make a bad move you can just replay the current game until a few moves before, stop the replay, and keep playing :)

Incidentally, I like the corner tactic you used, that's what I do as well.
It's permitted provided you ask for permission. It seems unlikely that was the case here.
You should first ask for an explanation and justification of the so far alledged misbehavior. You could accuse and threat someone on false claims. If the person fails to provide a valid explanation and justification the demonstration of the existance of a problem will have been made by itself. No need the explicitly threat anyone. Threatening should be done only in phase 2 after the problem as been acertained by both parties and the person has failed to correct what could have been a simple misunderstanding or an accident.
Oh Well, I missed it. I blame it on it being in the very end of paragraphs.
no, money supply is fixed. changing money supply like doge did is possible, but risks destroying the network.
Can't blame them. I'd hack a toaster, too.
What makes you think that? If their computer came with an OS preinstalled, with Mongolian, for example, as the language, they would not have to ever see any English anywhere. A flag might be more universally recognized way of selecting the right language.
Allegation that a wife of a founder can read private chats at GitHub makes me question GitHub's privacy and security... I would love if we would have a statement of GitHub on this matter since it would be a huge privacy breach (and something that would make us move all of our private repos outside of GitHub). (posted this as a comment on the article as well)
Has anyone noticed all the bizarrely pro-Putin comments on English language news sites over the past few weeks? I mean actually repeating Russian propaganda which is completely contrary to reality. The Guardian is flooded with this in every article on the subject.

It's weird, and I'm sure some of it is an actual orchestrated propaganda effort, but I worry that a lot of it is just another instance of people being knee-jerk contrarians.

About 3-10 people worked on this full time depending on which day in the 3 week development cycle you looked at. Most of the others helped out in their spare time in one way or another
The article goes back and forth in the chronology, which makes the story hard to parse. It's Horvath's very personal point of view, but the TC interviewer(s) should have tried to clarify it. Multiple incidents/hostility around pull requests are blurred, but there were a few notches of escalation there.
I thought it might be that one instead, but I wasn't sure.

So why did Fluidity get more upvotes? Here's my opinion:

1. Fluidity had a better subject line - I knew immediately what it was about and I was very curious. Linkbait? Sure, but it worked.

2. Fluidity demonstrated the concept immediately on click through - I didn't need to muddle through a clever metaphor to figure out the concept. I saw it immediately.

3. Fluidity used a kitten. People like kittens unless they are bad people. - it may sound like I'm making a joke but I'm not. "Kittens" are any facial image that triggers what Konrad Lorenz referred to as Kindchenschema. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuteness It is a common trick in advertising and marketing. Fluidity uses it perfectly.

By contrast, MoshPit's README is complicated.

The density of the text alone is likely to be off putting to 90% of the intended audience. I gave it a serious read myself because I was curious about your question. I am still wondering what it is for.

To provide a bit more context, I have been a developer for more than 30 years. More of a hobbyist the last 10, but I regularly pick up new frameworks for fun. Last summer I ran through all the latest js frameworks (ember, angular, backbone, etc), so I'd say MoshPit is something I should be interested in but I'm not entirely sure why it matters to me.

Please know that this is not a reflection on you personally or on the project itself. I am just providing an opinion based on my impressions upon entering the page and trying to decipher what you were trying to accomplish.

I hope this helps.
I think that is one benefit remote offices have is there are less chances for events like this to take place.

I take it you've never played WoW? :) I've seen the same high school drama replay over and over, both online and offline. It's more a function of being human, than it is the environment.
I think it's a problem if women (or men) start dishing out accusations from projecting something into other people's faces. "They looked leery" - what sort of accusation is that? All bets are off if such a thing is held up as evidence for sexism.

There is a famous early cinema experiment which cuts the same closeup of a face with three different scenes (don't remember, I think a funeral, something to eat, whatever). Each time the viewer interprets a different emotion into the face (sad, or hungry, or yearning, or whatever).
I live in Switzerland and google does follow my accept-languages (en-US,en;q=0.8,fr;q=0.6,de;q=0.4). When going to google.com in incognito I get google.ch in english which is what I asked.
Thanks for posting the link. I hadn't seen that planet money documentary [1] before and I found it extremely interesting.
