Male vs Female suits are one thing, and sticking it to Merrill is a bonus, but I wouldn't bet on the jury in this one. I'm just not confident developers are going to win this one.
Worse than the anti-competitive angle of this story is the idea that Jobs prevented engineers, with families, from obtaining jobs. That's just inexcusable.
It's no different, if it can be displayed on the screen and it is on the keyboard, then the user will type it into the text file for how it look, not because they want to really use it as record separator. And if user can type it in the content then you have to escape it, which is back to the same problem with using tabs.

But if it's not on the keyboard, then the user won't type it. So it doesn't get used.
People aren't complaining about the mistake itself, but about the US government requiring Ibrahim to spent 8 years and $3.5 million dollars to correct the mistake. They could have done a review when the lawsuit was filed, and they could have agreed to settle the lawsuit after the mistake came to light during depositions. As far as we know, they didn't do either of those. That's what the gp is implying might be exceptional and worthy of awarding fees.
It has in-game ads, so it makes no money in the same way that Flappy Bird was free and made no money.
Ask HN: Any microISV's willing to share their experience?
If you run a microISV, I would be very interested in hearing about your experiences. How did you get started? What keeps you going? What are some of the biggest challenges you've had to overcome? I am especially interested in hearing about Canada-based businesses, but folks from other countries are welcome to share as well of course.
Hi, I work on Blaze.

React and Blaze both compile templates or components into an intermediate representation for their HTML structure (React's JSDOM; Blaze's HTMLJS). A lot of the difference in how they decide what DOM changes are necessary.

React re-renders components when data changes and diffs the resulting JSDOM. The diff algorithm is fast and has simple hooks to make it faster by letting you compare state and component properties.

Blaze doesn't diff the resulting DOM structure. Instead, Blaze diffs the data the components depend on. That data comes from reactive functions built on top of Deps, our dependency tracking system. When the component first renders, dependencies are tracked between data sources and rendered DOM elements (dependencies are automatically cleaned up when the component is taken off the page). Therefore when data changes, Blaze can directly update the relevant elements.

There is some overhead in Deps, our dependency tracking system, but Deps has been intentionally designed for supporting this efficiently (eg batching updates in a "flush" stage).

As for performance, our benchmarks have generally found that React outperforms Blaze when many elements change and Blaze outperforms React when few elements change (which is more common for typical operations on many web apps). We also have plans to improve performance on initial rendering.

There are some other difference worth noting: While a later version of Blaze will support easy APIs for re-useable components, React already has one. And the React component model is well-thought out, complete and in production use whereas the Blaze component model at the moment is only the implementation behind templates.

Happy to hear any other perspectives.

Not everyone in the bay area makes a lot of money. There are a lot of blue collar/service workers who don't even know what hackernews is who would kill to make that 70k a year.
The 20% is carry, which is earned as a percentage of net income. So let's say that A16Z invests 5M in a company on a 10M pre-money valuation. A16Z owns 1/3 of the company. The company sells for $30M the next day to Facebook. A16Z now has $10M dollars. They take $2M of that for themselves and then they distribute back to the LPs the other $8M.

I'm pretty sure carry is profit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carried_interest), so in your example A16Z would pocket $1M, not $2M (because the $5M A16Z invested needs to be repaid to the LPs first, and then A16Z gets 20% of the remaining $5M). Please correct me if I've misunderstood.
Question - does the equation editor work in Word? When viewing Word docs on iOS previously I could only see about 70% of my mechanical engineering lab reports without it.
ROI is not the complete issue here. The fact is 2048 is a clone(or inspiration) of Threes. 2048 is gaining more popularity and some people think that it is a better game. Also, the originality lines are getting blurred.
I'd be a +1 for IE 11 (disclaimer, I work at Microsoft on the IE developer tools but use IE at home). Regarding testing in IE, have you seen the http://www.modern.ie website? There are Windows VMs there you can download for free for any host OS that have all the different versions of IE.
How so? Because these so called 'markets' of which share is measured are not markets at all. They are simply groups of products that analysts have decided to add together.

Given that endorsement is a mechanism which can only reduce the quantity of discussion on HN

That seems a mistaken assumption. The presence of existing comments often causes me to refrain from posting comments. Often I've been about to reply to something, then notice someone else has already said substantially the same thing, and as a result don't.

And this is not a contrived example. As I said when I first launched pending comments, if someone says something important in a nasty way, it may well turn out to be safe not to endorse it, because someone else will probably show up and make the same point without nastiness.

Plus if HN gets more civil, it may encourage people to comment who might not have before. I know from my own experience that incivility has decreased the number of comments I make. I often find myself about to say something, then decide I have work to do and don't have time to spend the afternoon fighting, and so don't say it.

Only experience can tell us whether one or both of these factors will increase the number of comments, but we can't assume that pending comments can only reduce discussion.
Startups are difficult; conviction and passion for what you're doing is imperative.
It seems like you said that disdainfully/sarcastically, but if you had metadata about thousands of experiments and the ability to do a meta-analysis on that data; wouldn't you? It seems like a great opportunity to identify potentially destructive trends in the way your company runs experiments.
thanks! no, I don't have the models up on thingiverse, but I plan to put them up there and to document the build. I'd like to start documenting more of my builds as well. I'm going to work on promoting myself and my work better as it's something I've not spent much effort on recently.

I enjoy reading stuff like the original post here and am always looking for such content but so easily forget that I could be sharing my projects and methods... perhaps time to stop lurking so much :)

The worst part about this is that neither the 1024 or 2048 developers do so much as acknowledge Threes as the original inspiration. It's really pathetic. Just some losers pretending to be something they're not. Common shithead piracy.
OneName.io implemented in Chrome Wallet.
We introduced in-wallet coinID's to the cryptocurrency market place. Today we have implemented the OneName api into the Pheeva Chrome ext. It will also be in the next big update of the iOS wallet. We believe OneName is a step in the right direction for ease of use to send coins to bitcoin addresses, via decentralized short name.
If you don't have it yet get it here.

Yes, this is also part of Servo's strategy apparently: spread work across multiple cores, but each core does less and can be more efficient in terms of power draw. Faster + less battery use in one fell swoop. Though it's not really clear to me why this actually results in an efficiency win over maxing out a single core.
Raspberry Pi was an attempt to get people (kids especially) thinking about computing at a lower level than the modern windowed OS/smart phone OS. I've done a bit of bare metal programming on it myself which is a good way to get a feel for the ARM processor, without an OS in the way. There's a project here which is a tutorial on building an OS on the RPi from the ground up:

https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspberrypi/tutorials/os/

I have also done a small amount of FPGA work which is more towards the hardware level, bypassing a CPU altogether.
This story is being discussed based on some misinterpretations.

It does not sound like whether she was on a no fly list was relevant to the case per se. She was allowed to fly after the first time she was stopped at the airport. What happened later was that she was denied entry back into the US, a non-citizen.

While what happened is certainly wrong in this case, there is oodles of precent for it. Routinely, foreigners are denied entry into the US if e.g. the agent believes there's a high likelihood you plan to overstay your visa and live here illegally. Non-citizens have no right to enter the US, period.

It sounds like this was more "take me off your terrorist list so I can get back into the country" than "take me off the no-fly list".
I suppose a fringe benefit of open-sourcing .NET would be an eventual reduction in this phenomenon.

Why do you think that would be the case?

When I think "open-source" I think "fragmented, lots of utterly terrible things, lots of half-finished false-starts".
Hi, I work on Blaze.

HTMLBars is an excellent project and indeed does share many design principles with Blaze. They also differ in a few ways. For example, HTMLBars plans to never support full inline expressions in templates, whereas that is an explicit future goal for Blaze. So even though parts of HTMLBars could have been used in Blaze, it wouldn't give us the flexibility needed to take Blaze in the direction we think is best for our users.

[edit: Also, Blaze is shipped. :)]
To be fair, revenue could have kept growing with the old design; you still don't know if you've achieved more with the new one!
You mean started with Ballmer gone?
The moderator is concerned about that too. But if it did start to happen it would be pretty obvious. So it seems worth trying to see if pending comments can be tuned to cut obvious crap without eliminating stuff that's merely controversial.

Good catch. But strictly speaking that wasn't doing development in the repl, but repairing data. The live server is the only place you can repair data on the live server.
Personally, I don't think about satiation and satiety because hunger hasn't been a big deciding factor in my eating choices for the past 10 years. (I've practically forgotten what it feels like to feel full, and I don't miss it. Thanksgiving is rough some years)
The cars are too empty. Making people is hard, but you only need to make a portion of them to be visible behind a car window, and it would really enhance the effect. No more ghost-driven cars in the middle of the road. The dreamlike quality for me is the lack of life; the sterility.

Fantastic photos though, and they do really work when it's reasonable to see no humans in shot.

I'm looking forward to a more stable API. I think a lot of things are solidified by this 0.8.0 release, but working up to it I've had to deal with a lot of upstream changes that forced me to refactor a lot of code. Of course, its all in the name of progress and the Meteor community is super helpful and friendly, so no big whoop.

Hi HN.

I've spent the last 6 months picking up Ruby, Rails and JS. Been doing over 80 hours a week and I think I'm at a place where I can be useful to a professional software development team.

Anybody out there in the bay area working with a good team that's interested in taking me on as an apprentice? I'm eager to learn, and happy to survive on ramen (as long as you buy me a burrito every now and then)

Do you read iOS descriptions of apps you know you're going to download? I sure don't! If I see a friend playing a game that looks good, I download it without reading.
Why not just bury new comments at the bottom of the thread until they get an upvote (essentially equivalent to "endorsement".) It's a terrible idea (new comments never get seen), but it's functionally the same and only a small modification rather than a whole new system.

You can also have an option to "hide" comments below a certain threshold (i.e. ones that haven't been "endorsed" yet) if that is the desired system. Or an option like showdead for low karma comments (perhaps count only total upvotes or "endorsements" rather than upvotes-downvotes.)
You could and you should pitch it as Silicon Roundabout.
I also got an email earlier today from them linking to the form.
My post was addressed at your claim that "Once health is aside, so is sustainability."

I believe that I it made clear that this is not the case. Your view is myopic and selfish, as it ignores the very real effects that a meat-eater diet has on other humans and the environment.

I did not imply that health and lifespan are the same, and I even addressed them separately.

My beliefs are based in well-documented evidence. Eating meat has a strong positive correlation with increased healthcare costs.[1] Whether or not meat has a negative impact on health only has a bearing on the costs of healthcare for meat-eaters, which is a minor point that I mentioned as an aside. It does not have a bearing on the environmental impacts of a meat-eater diet.

You are nitpicking minor details of my post. Perhaps instead of vaguely implying that I'm mistaken you should produce evidence that contradicts me.

I haven't exercised in a year for various reasons. I've lost 15 lbs. Since I don't exercise I'm not as hungry and I probably lost some muscle mass as well.
Your point seems to imply 2048 was not based on Threes. But it was in fact based on something that was based on Threes, which is equivalent.
Do any of the guys working on Noom want to comment on this?
So far the diet suggestions of their app have been pretty helpful for me.
The reason you're getting tired of seeing this interracial marriage argument is because it demonstrates that your weak unconvincing arguments in support of bigotry against gays are the same as other people's weak unconvincing arguments in support of bigotry against mixed race couples. The reason you are tired is that you are wrong and on the wrong side of history, and you're wasting your energy fighting an uphill losing battle.

So stop complaining that people arguing for marriage equality are making you tired by pointing out that you're no better than bigots who argue against mixed race marriage. People's right to marry the partner they love trumps your right not to be tired of making weak unconvincing arguments. You are not the victim here.
looks exactly the same on firefox for me
I am not saying what Apple did was right. Actually this is anti-competition and as a consumer I hate it. However I was making a totally different point, being a CEO of small enterprise myself, I just pointed out, that perhaps I would have the same restrictions in place, but it does not justify them.

Two things: (1) Lenovo does provide a manual web interface, https://lenovobattery2014.orderz.com/, to verify whether this affects any equipment you own...their default tool involves the end user downloading and installing a Microsoft Windows executable, which does not work if you have an alternate operating system installed; and (2) even though I have a Lenovo X201 laptop with a "42T4695" in the battery pack bar code, since Lenovo manufactured it in July 2010--outside the range of October 2010-April 2011--I am not eligible for replacement (a bit disappointing, but it seems reasonable, to me).
I want to write a web app, an SPA. After many years of not caring about web design [1], getting back into the game is very difficult, even if my programming skills are more than 10x what they were back then.

I'm sold on JS, as to me PHP is very ugly and incomprehensible. My stack currently looks like this:

Node -> Express+Passport+Mongoose -> Bootstrap + Angular/Polymer + D3

I've only begun my project three weeks ago, but I would have hoped to have a prototype by now. Admittedly, I'm not working on this 40hrs a week, but still. I find it very hard to understand how everything fits together.

And then news like this appear, once or twice a week, which make me spend some hours reading on this or that new framework and how better it performs.

I'm looking forward to each template having its own local reactive state so that I can get away from storing everything in session variables, which are global.

Without this feature, it's hard (or harder than it should be) to create reusable user interface code.
In one of their talks they also mention saving the branch prediction table _after_ execution. Clearly that can't happen at install time.
> Emotions seem to occur outside the brain.

But still within the body, and thus within this universe - in any case it's just a matter of definition of what the "brain" is, and we could just as well say the whole human is a brain, and emotions are just an effect of the "computation" that it performs. Whether this computation is electrical or chemical (hormones) doesn't change the fact that it's based on the same laws of interaction as everything else in the universe.
ADHD isn't real. It didn't exist in many previous generations. Surely, the behavior of children hasn't changed much over the last few generations so how come this "disease" didn't exist previous to the current couple of generations and how come it still doesn't exist in many places on the planet? Could foreign kids somehow be better? Of course not. As the article points out, this is a ploy by pharmaceutical companies to get children hooked not only on ADHD drugs but on drugs in the future.

What do these kids do when they turn 18? I asked on pediatrician I respected what she does for the children. Does she taper them off? Does she transition them to other doctors? Does she transition them to other medicines? Nope. "That's not my problem," she said. Of course not. In a culture where doctors are not responsible, where making hundreds of dollars an hour is "not enough" to have them actually perform their duties in full, duties such as making a full investigation into their patients' cases, and spending more than 10 or 15 minutes before "diagnosing" them with a condition they do not have and putting them on drugs for essentially the rest of their lives, only in such a culture is ADHD real.

When it comes down to it, it's the responsibility of the parents to keep their kids off drugs. The body doesn't care wether you're snorting amphetamine or Adderall because Adderall is amphetamine. Parents who allow their kids to be "diagnosed" with ADHD and allow them to take drugs are encouraging their children to take drugs. They are unconscionable parents. Any child can make a mistake and start doing drugs, but now we have whole classes of drugs that are encouraged. Some drug abuse and addictions have become ingrained in life. Do you think the children will stop because they've now turned 18? Do you think they'll stop at Ritalin or Adderall when those things stop working? Addiction knows no bounds.

How many more lives will have to be ruined before people realize the psychiatric industry and the doctors pushing these drugs are only doing it for the money, money they do not need? Talk about about scummy drug dealers. Yeah, we're looking at the multi-billion dollar corporations, the "psychiatrists," the DSM writers, and the rest of the doctors who can't even be bothered to spend ten minutes with a patient before deciding on a horrific fate for them. When will people learn that the medical industry cannot be trusted, that the hippocratic oath is bullshit, and they need to be responsible for their own selves and their own children? Those parents allowing their kids to be put on this should be put in jail next to the child murderers they irresponsibly strive to be.
I might be acting like a devil's advocate, but don't the metrics reflect user behavior? And it's perfectly fine if they tune their UI for revenue. They are not missionaries, but they are visionaries. They need money to keep the innovation going.

I am not a facebook fan or an affiliate, and I do resent few of their design decisions, but earning money is well within their framework of morality.
We need vision correction to meet a universal standard of visual acuity in the modern world - so that we can all read the same road signs, etc.

Normal vision could be interpreted as a range much larger than our arbitrary standard of "perfect", 20/20 vision.
