This creates so much good will from me towards Newegg. It's why I pretty much try to buy as much gear from them as possible.

I'd also add, they've added a tremendous amount of information in the PC parts buying process, from really in-depth videos from manufacturers talking about their products and how they differentiate different tiers to the reviews and relatively pain free rebate and sale system.

If they ever added a "I'm building a PC" and it cross checked items for compatibility to streamline the purchase process (so you don't buy the wrong kind of RAM or video card or whatever) they'd absolutely dominate the custom PC parts industry.
This is pretty cool.

Neal Stephenson's "Command Line" comes to mind, where he talks about how experiences are distilled and summarized for an end user. I have a vague negative feeling toward this, but I can present no argument.
I'd expect that most of the crowd here knows how to circumvent blackouts, but the issue is you still don't get access to the major network channels. No MLB Network, NFL Network, etc. These stations may not matter to some, but a lot of people probably enjoy having a station dedicated to their favorite sport. Additionally if you're a motorsport fan, as I am of F1, you have no choice but to get cable.

Wow. That is the worst case I've ever seen of map analysis.

I wish these things would let you change the confidence interval. 95% is really only used in an academic context. If you think about decisions that you make in a typical business context, you are not using more than 80% or so
I used to work in a car dealership group. The inefficiencies are terrifying. That's what led to this.
Serving static files from nginx still has overhead on the server and also can be slower that s3. Also, you avoid a whole rake of problems with backups, running out of disk space, sharing static files among servers, etc, by storing files on S3.
What I outlined above is why your BD acting in bad faith is illegal under the securities law. It's not even a grey area.

Put your security research hat on for a moment. The "other side" of the trade wants to get the info subject to BD confidentiality (pt 2) and the exploit them (pt 3,4). When your BD does this it is expressly illegal. This has a name but mentioning it here would just confuse the issue. The question is this: what tools are available to this "other side" that would put the NPI in the hands of the "other side" but not divulge it more broadly? Would a bad-faith offer to do a ("sweet") biz deal be good enough bait to social engineer selective disclosure? Unless you can rule this out technologically, you have to rule it in for consideration.

It's best not to get sidetracked on whether the divulged info is legally NPI or PI (just yet) and look at it purely from a pragmatic perspective like a security credential. The BD either has it under control or not. And is it physically possible in terms of bits to have selective disclosure? And if it is does the pretext matter?

Make no mistake: the BD cannot hide if he abuses the information directly. He's like an authorized user. The issue is what level of authorization you give the counter-party and how to protect its abuse. The technical details and legality of pretexting security credentials is something I'm sure you could speak authoritatively to. I'm only using it as an example here for illustrative purposes.

> The masculinity and femininity contributed by one full-time parent from each sex.

Despite the many social pressures brought to bear, people do not universally exhibit the gender roles and behaviors expected of them in their particular cultures.

What of, for example, butch women or effeminate men in heterosexual parenting relationships? I know gay and lesbian couples who have a substantially more "balanced" mixture of masculine and feminine characteristics than did my own, heterosexual parents.
The initial cost of a given device could easily explain this difference. There are plenty of Android devices that you can get for free with a two year contract, not so much for iOS.

Those with less expendable income are probably more likely to select a free device.

I've been trying for ages to sort out a good sleeping pattern that'll have me up and running in the morning. Weirdly enough, the best one I got was:

- wake up after ~6.5 hrs of sleep, use the bathroom, grab something quick to eat and drink a pint of water

- go to sleep again and wake up after ~7.5 hours

- rejoice

It's a hard one to do, and sometimes I can't fall back asleep after the first waking up, but when it works I feel pretty amazing.

Don't ask how I discovered this, I'm not sure myself.
If you are not careful with work/life balance, the hustle of working in the startup world can easily get you down. Also the high rate of failure in the startup world contributes. A startup founder/employee that is working 80 hour weeks has every right to be depressed.

Here is a topic I am tired of hearing about. Being liberal, apparently, means tolerating bigoted and backwards-looking values - rly?
This is very recent (last few months), and it's the first time ever using trello for any of us, so we don't really have a solid workflow yet, but we have lists for each character, and another for plot-points, etc.

We also have a "GM questions" list for things like "Can I use expansion ruleset X" or "I have an idea for a new Y for your approval" or "How do you house-rule Z"

We are just getting ready to startup a new game, and I've been quite impressed with how it works during startup. In a typical game I've played in the past, characters will get joint backstory when two players are informally talking about their character concepts. With this, players can draft their character concepts in a shared space and I've seen more joint-backstory than typical (though not quite as much as when all players lived on the same floor of a dormitory in college, but that's a level of intimacy most groups don't have).
I was hoping this version would give more details than the one in the previous submission:

Yes. I spent £130 the other day on Ocado. The equivalent would cost £168 in store in Tesco. Delivery is free if you pick a sensible slot.
Surely it would be more desirable to allow people to easily automate their work drudgery so as to spend more time having fun with their kids. Most people use childcare services to accommodate their jobs, as opposed to hiring a babysitter for the occasional parents evening out at the movies/ dancing/ dinner. I don't think there are many people of means who drop their kids off at childcare 5 days a week and spend all the time engaged in leisure activities. Some, sure, but not that many.

I used to think R's debugging was awful. Then someone told me about options(error="recover"), and I get a nice Lisp/Matlab like stack when something bad happens. Doesn't help with the C/C++ FFI piece, but that's not usually what is needed.
There's a lot of little doodads like that in R. The real problem is there is no good book teaching people who need to write complex things how to do it properly.

You have to understand that the definition of "providing liquidity" is to always supply a buyer for a security, with the minor qualification that the buyer so provided should be able to immediately turn the security around for a profit.

HFT's are very good at providing liquidity (and obviously so), under that definition.

Cool! Very immersive and this is coming from an oculus rift owner.

I was thinking the next step up from this would be to setup 360 degree cameras every 10 or so feet along this path and have them all record for say an hour. Then you could 'walk' from point to point and see/hear/track the city.

But I actually think this curated approach is much better as it helps you cut out the noise and tell a better story.

Lets say we go to a call structure. Will there be competitive pressure to go back to a continuous market? For example, lets say you demand all U.S. exchanges go to a call structure. Would there be reason for me to go to London and open up a new continuous market?
Sharply dissimilar.
I want to start tracking hours at my current employer for Android and iOS dev since they are for the same apps. Anecdotally what I've seen is that iOS finishes faster, with way less hiccups and compromises.
I've wondered about that myself. Most of my apps require data and I'm not exactly sure how that limits the market.

I am not 100% on this, but I think most of the US providers wont allow you to activate a smart phone without a data plan. It's kind of BS, but my guess is that they do it to ensure they re-coup the costs of the higher subsidies given out for smartphones.
You're totally right. Example: Manhattan has a higher concentration of Android than Newark by far. This is not visible without toggling layers. This is probably due to the concentration of people in Manhattan vs. Newark, IMHO.

The argument that iOS is more frequent in high income areas still seems fairly sound. Still, the story misrepresents the map by far.
> In my mind, things must be severely broken to make this condition possible.

As we've learned: This happens when a nation becomes wealthy, educated, and have sufficient health services and welfare systems. If you want high birth rates: Plunge us into poverty, take away education, and shut down health services. Good luck getting support for that political platform.

Despite the declining birth rates, though, the UN estimates that while the world population will eventually decline for a while, this is expected to be a relatively short lasting stage, while the "bulge" we're creating now through ridiculous growth-levels ages and starts to die off, then all the projections is for renewed, but slower, more sustainable growth.

I agree that the invite only really slowed it down.
True, I've done this for sites that had really slow loading webfonts and/or remote css pages. Although we really can't say what it looked like without the rest of the page contents. I don't suppose anyone has a page source dump.

I wonder sometimes if this sort of activity (honey pots for autobanning) angers people because they feel they have a right to script the site or if they feel poorly for "falling for" the honeypot. Clearly it generates some emotion though.
It just feels like throwing the baby out with the bath water; I can understand where you're coming from but I think the focus should be on penalising fluff and incivility (maybe some kind of sinbin to encourage positive behaviour ?).

Often major issues are contentious; the interplay between personal and professional life is a major issue and one that many HN contributors deal with on a daily basis (for that matter many personal comments on HN result in professional relationships). If we can't discuss contentious topics in a reasonable manner then we're already in trouble.

If you look at Usenet or Digg historically even minor issues often burst into flamewars (remember Emacs vs Vim wars?) - it's not the issues that cause incivility. It's the people.
This is actually a very good paper and I heartily recommend it if you are into wonky market arbitrage.

You don't mention it, but they actually recommend a centralized discrete call market. How is that to be implemented? They don't say and they don't count the additional added cost/risk of adding a centralized monopoly player into the market (in fact they completely ignore transaction fees). We moved away from centralized markets in the first place because those costs were non-trivial.

The fact that Wil was prescribed Effexor (venlafaxine) instead of the almost identical but more expensive Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) is a pretty good indicator that this wasn't just an attempt to get more money out of him.
>Both are clear and readable explanations of why gay people start out equal

Not being able to marry a same sex person is not "not equal" (pardon all the negatives). The fact that we have to rely on judges to offer strained arguments to cause any meaningful cultural shift is a bug in our system, not a feature. Judges should not be seen as the savior of the republic. The proper place for this to change is through legislation. All of this is assuming the definition of marriage being between a man and a woman was ever codified into law before this became a point of contention--not sure if I've ever actually seen such a thing.
My understanding is that human-neanderthal interbreeding rarely resulted in viable offspring (though some did, and is where blonde/ginger hair and blue eyes come from in modern humans).

Is that similar here? Are there traits in modern goats or sheep that came from the other?

We make a lot of choices like that as a family too. Definitely makes a difference in our quality of life. We don't have cable, don't over-schedule our kids with lessons and sports they don't even like. What happened to just playing with the kids in the neighborhood until dark? ;)
Hmm, that's not quite what I want in that case - I've used Pandoc before but I want pretty strict control over the way things are converted since I use my project to build books where layout is almost as important as the content. That's why I went for manual pagination and page-by-page conversion with PhantomJS rather than using Pandoc.
> Knight had test code that got flipped into production.

This is not correct. Read the SEC report on the incident if you have time, it is pretty in depth: http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2013/34-70694.pdf

The short-version is that they re-used a parameter from an old feature and one of the production machines was not updated so the re-used parameter re-activated the old feature instead of the new one. Furthermore, A refactoring of the code had left the old feature on the wrong side of the share accounting code so the system was not keeping track of the orders it was putting out.
Yeah, this is pretty egregious. When I played around with the source map and Manhattan, most of the effect they mentioned goes away when you look at the maps in isolation. The iPhone layer was drawn on top of Android, so of course it looks like Manhattan is full of iPhone users; the only time the Android pixels stand out is where there are no iPhone users at all.
"Our clients send base64 encoded JSON objects to our edge server using HTTP GETs."

Encoded json in get parameters? That's not what GET requests are for. use POST requests for that, or you'll quickly be limited by the max size of a get request, somewhere around 8KB.
What a great idea. I once scrapped a car for a couple hundred bucks instead of selling it because I didn't want the hassle of selling it.
No no, it's only censorship if I agree with the message! ;)
> It looks like he does not support gay marriage today. He does support equality.

Which is it? The two (not supporting gay marriage, and supporting equality) are mutually incompatible.

> It wasn't going to affect the policy of equality within Mozilla.

Do you understand why a lot of people have concerns that this might not be true, whether openly, or indirectly through decisions he might have made? Or have concerns that his views may send a signal to a lot of people that he would not welcome them the way he would welcome other potential hires?

Data plan and phone-cost affordability has some impact here, but the socioeconomic divide is not explained entirely in those terms.

I think it has as much to do with the fact that Apple's target market consists largely of affluent people seeking to identify with a brand that has geek/tech credibility. It's not that people with lower incomes wouldn't be (or aren't) interested in having Apple mobile products; it's that Apple basically ignores them.
Unlike most other politicized topics, I don't think there is a rational position on opposing gay marriage in the US. At least none I have heard yet.
Is my maths awful (I have been drinking) or am I right in thinking that even if Android users spend less on average, having three times as many of them is going to equal more revenue?

The article says the info was released on Thursday, so there's still Friday in between. Maybe someone at that big consumer software company wanted some time to prepare a defense?

Maybe the BSI really doesn't know where the addresses are coming from? There are so many options here.

Sure...but why Django? If I'm missing something, how do you generate the static pages from the Django app? I see that django-pipeline compiles and generates the asset files, but what about `mydjangoapp.com/books/1`, `mydjangoapp.com/author/smith-jon` and so forth, i.e. the data-pages?

edit: I guess I'm assuming too much...the OP is assuming you have Django app already online and running, and this process moves over the asset files?
Most Usenet readers at least supported comment tree folding. In a contentious HN thread, I have to hold page down for a few minutes to reach the second top level comment. My experience with Reddit tells me the substantive discussion happens a few trees down from the top, and that part of these threads is effectively inaccessible.
Is this news? Android users aren't worthless, but they are indeed worth less. On some apps I've heard of disparities as high as 15X - the value of an Android user being 1/15th that of an iOS user. On my own apps it's gone as high as 9X.

That said, as long as you understand the economics of each platform and ensure that your advertising expenditures and any incremental user costs are in line with the disparity, you should be fine. In my experience, the best strategy is to spend any advertising budget on iOS installs, and let word of mouth/viral features get free installs on Android.
Interesting stat there on Intel.
