I thought about that, but decided that "for all I know" was a carefully worded expression of "it is contrary to the logic of the known Universe and all who claim to be guided by reason, but I invite you to try to claim that a miracle occurred."

I guess it could be read either way. I am not expert in the finest points of a argumentative linguistics. :-)

Contrast to something like. "I had his brain in a jar. But in retrospect, I agree it was improper for me to rush to judgment".
There is moveline.com, which I think was in TechStars out here in NYC a few years back.

Is this more for small jobs within a city? Like if I needed to pick up some furniture or something similar.
Hrm, interesting. I'm now deeply uncertain whether % of coins or % of volume is more important. I will have to think about this more.

I stumbled upon this abomination by doing research on a photograph from a photoset on Distractify (http://news.distractify.com/people/complex-humans/?v=1), and it made me figuratively cry blood.

Free speech is indeed a right, but it seems strange to me that the global community in general is not legally opposed to organized hate. Is there any tangible and enforceable policy that can be invoked to take down things like this?

I think your down votes are coming because of your hostile tone. You make plenty of fair points, but your tone and insults are making them meaningless.
You can host up to 50 domains (with up to 500 addresses) for $40/year with a FastMail Enhanced account (all delivered to the same mailbox).
You handle it in the same way you handle rolling new certificates with TACK. No panic.

I had to install JIRA trial on my Windows, and decided to give it a go on a debian-vm through virtualbox. It was smooth - downloaded ~200mb bin file, ran it (not root), and installed it. Then all other updates (as you've said) came as .jar packages and installed them while it was running.

As a C/C++ programmer I felt impressed :) Oh and there is lovely API to talk to the system (unlike say... other systems that I won't name here for which you have to spent 10K only for the API).
Pandemic is good in the sense that it is exercise for professional communication skills in a toy environment without business consequences.

> There's a reason precious metals like gold and silver have retained value for millennia

Yeah, because gold and silver are good to use as money. They are fungible, long lasting, easily identifiable, can be divided without losing total value.

Kinda like bitcoin, except it can be traded with anyone with a computer over the Internet.
The point is not the slippery slope of "all boycotts are bad" or "boycott everything!" but rather that we've become too trigger-happy and insular in boycotting non-tech political opinions that while mainstream outside of Silicon Valley, are not inside.

The entire debate is on when a boycott is appropriate and grellas is arguing to draw the line farther than the current one that's solidifying in tech. Cynically, it just has to do with fitting in with your group politically, be it SF tech or Southern Baptist (no Planned Parenthood donations there) and the point is - what happens when you're in the moral minority? Because Rice chose to enter an SF tech company rather than a random American one, there is way more backlash.

Ultimately, the Rice situation/backlash has a far stronger business case rather than a pure political boycott, due to objections of surveillance/digital security for cloud providers (hence the entire host outside of America movement). Here I mainly focused on the meta-debate about boycotts, and I suppose grellas decided to comment on the broad pattern given the original article's major headlines about the Iraq War.

Just like war is not universally wrong, neither are boycotts - it's just the degree to which we ask whether they are justified. Vietnam, Iraq, Gulf War, Korea, they were all controversial - and not in a "0.1% of the crazy population controversial", but rather "front page of TIME, Economist, BCC" controversial
While this is true in theory, from my experience of running businesses and from talking to accountants and bank employees, this doesn't work for most people. A corporation or llc can shield you, but unless the company has a proven revenue stream or assets, no bank or landlord will take on risk without asking you to assume personal liability as well.

Kind of like needing a cosigner when you get that first car.
I'm having more and more doubts about mobile operating systems, or perhaps mobile UI paradigms where the user has unlimited freedom.

I just tried, for experiment's sake, a dumbphone (Nokia 515) instead of my high-end large screen Android phone. And somehow I like it, not because of what it can do but mostly because what it cannot, and what kind of shackles it imposes on me.
Not any less riduculous than the original (old and tired) analogy.

You brought up the rotten analogy. I'm talking about what humans comparatively actually do or don't do in different fields, not making an analogy. (Please look "analogy" up.) Historically, aerospace is very good about taking concrete actions that actually reduce accident rates. Historically, computer programming is pretty rotten at this. Our algorithm is literally:

1) Identify the problem
2) Repeat

With meaningless variations.
but once the volume has been exchanged, it's already too late for most people so it would probably be better to find the cause of high % of volume?

I haven't done any serious FRP, but thinking about your example of the drag adapter, wouldn't it be possible to do something like the following?

- Declare a stream consisting of the composite of two stream: a mouse down and a mouse up
- Map over the mouse down portion, transforming into an (x, y) coordinate
- Map over the mouse up portion, transforming into an (x, y) coordinate
- Produce a tuple of the two values
- Use the resulting signal that determines what to do with the drag

In Bacon.js, I think it would look something like this (haven't tested it):

var makeCoordinate = function(v) { return {x: v.clientX, y: v.clientY}; }
var mergeStreams = function(v1, v2) { return {down: makeCoordinate(v1), up: makeCoordinate(v2)}; };

var $html = $('html');
var mousedownStream = $html.asEventStream('mousedown');
var mouseupStream = $html.asEventStream('mouseup');
var dragStream = mousedownStream.flatMap(function() {
// Ensure that we only sample a single mousedown/mouseup pair.
return Bacon.zipWith([mousedownStream, mouseupStream], mergeStreams).
takeUntil(mouseupStream);
};

I don't mean to be pedantic - your point is well taken. This was definitely a mental exercise to write, and I have no experience debugging (though I imagine it would be difficult).

EDIT: For this particular example I actually made it more complicated than it needs to be. Example JS Fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/w6mCK/
[concat $ replicate (fromEnum $ x `mod` 3 == 0) "Fizz" ++ replicate (fromEnum $ x `mod` 5 == 0) "Buzz" | x <- [1..101]]

or

let f = (replicate . fromEnum . (==0)) .: mod in [concat $ f x 3 "Fizz" ++ f x 5 "Buzz" | x <- [1..101]]
Depends on what you are programming on. If its in a language far removed from the machine your mileage may vary.

I have had the opportunity to try out Google's implementation of mapreduce implemented in C++ way back in time (6 years ago). These would run on fairly impoverished processors, essentially laptop grade. Have done stuff on Yahoo's Hadoop setup as well, these used high end multicore machines provisioned with oodles of RAM (I dont think I should share more than that). If I were to be generous, Hadoop ran 4 times slower as measured by wall clock times. Not only that, Hadoop required about 4 times more memory for similar sized jobs. So you ended up requiring more RAM, running for longer and potentially burning more electricity. This is by no means a benchmark or anything like that, just an anecdote.

That Hadoop would require much more memory did not surprise me, that was expected. What was really surprising was that it was so much slower. JVM is one of the most well optimized virtual machines we have out there, but its view of the processor is very antiquated and it does not surface those hardware level advances to the programmer. You pay for a hot-rod machine but run it like an old faithful crown victoria.

Four times might not seem like much, for one thing I am being generous, and it makes a big difference when you can make multiple run through the data in a single day and make changes to the code/model. Debugging and ironing out issues is a lot more efficient.

I think Hadoop gave Google a significant competitive advantage over the rest, probably still does.
You're absolutely right.

To me it also shows how speculative markets poison everything they touch (solar panel bubble 2011-2012).
Of course I don't know everything. But the stuff I don't know is irrelevant to my job. If you join my team, I expect you to know everything relevant to your new job, not whatever trivia you might have found amusing elsewhere.
I only saw this now by accident, but thanks for saying that! It's encouraging.

An alternative view: if BTC as a major currency is worth $100,000, and BTC that isn't a major currency is worth $0, the market price will be roughly $1,000 if BTC has a 99% chance of failure (ignoring the risk premium). As in reality the odds that BTC will become a major currency are difficult to estimate, volatile, and likely to be affected by the price of BTC itself, volatile prices for BTC, which we wrongly interpret as "manias" and "panics," actually tell us very little about the efficiency or inefficiency of the market.
No.

It took 2 years for the good guys to locate a bug in a popular open-source program. Who knows how many other bugs are lurking out there, especially in closed-source software - last I checked, IIS still commands a respectable market share.

> Marvel Unlimited is a travesty on Android tablets

I've made some big improvements to it. Due to my frustration with the Android app, I used it as a learning opportunity to find out how to take an Android app, decompile it, modify it and recompile.

I've fixed the fact that on my tablet (Nexus 10), the pages weren't shown full screen, which made the app useless. I've fixed the issue where it sometimes falls into "two page" reading mode when switching screen orientations. I've added the ability to tap the screen edges to move back/ forward a page like in Comixology and ever reasonable CBR reader app. I've fixed some other miscellaneous bugs.

After these changes, I'm a happy user of the MU service and have been using it regularly. I just finished Deadpool Killustrated and the first six issues of Kelly Sue DeConnick's Captain Marvel.

I'd like to get my modifications to others, but I'm not sure how. I can't post the source or the apk for my modified version of the app (I call it "the All-New Marvel Unlimited") because it is a modified version of Marvel's app that I don't have the right to distribute. I've been thinking about trying to put together a project on github that would just contain diffs to turn MU into ANMU and a script to pull the apk for MU from your tablet, uninstall it from your tablet, decompile it, apply the diffs and re-install it. This would require enabling USB debugging on the tablet and having the Android SDK on your computer plus some other Android tools, which is going to make it too difficult for non-technical comic fans, even if I put a lot of work into trying to make the installer "easy" to run everywhere (including Windows). Is there a better way to handle this or any existing work I can build upon?
I think simple vertical strip(colored based on the grade) on one edge and just writing the Major in would have done the trick. Idea should be easy recall of information without needing to know too much prior information.

People at my office are afraid to communicate because they don't want other people to think they are dumb and punish them politically.

Don't fall victim to that. Be the good teammate you know how to be. You will learn more and get more done than if you keep your shields up. You may suffer from insulting peer reviews short term, but you will be a hero to others who are like you but more timid, and you will learn and grow faster which will make you more impressive at your next gig.
Ah, Thorium articles. Guaranteed views from nerds, a great way to discover a cohort in your audience, and an easy template to follow (e.g. "it'd be so great, but adoption is 10 years away").

(Don't vote me up for this either. Dismissive first posts are another HN trope, so in this regard I'm as guilty as The Economist.)
Wow, so it would seem that one can't simply move out of state...or even out of the country. That's just wrong.
A big part of what makes Comixology great is how well their Guided Mode works. That requires more than just a .pdf of the full pages.
FWIW in Steve's companies people are paid market rate for this month. Consulting at $250 an hour is really only realistic if you are already working as a consulting

$250/hr for a 1 month contract is market rate. As an applicant I am taking on a huge amount of risk unless I personally know and trust the employer and team (in which case such a contract is rarely necessary). I can do a week, maybe even two, without having to leave my existing job. More than that and I'm wearing the risk. Why would I want to do that?
:-P

Isn't that about the security that you can get from a 7-character password (alpha numeric, caps allowed, no symbols)? They can improve that if they use a KDF like scrypt, but it's unclear whether they do that.
I took it as an implication that Google properties were getting special treatment by Chrome. I'm not sure how Chrome blacklisting a CA could be construed as anti-trust, even if it essentially killed the CA, because there's plenty of healthy competition in the browser space. They could just switch to Firefox, and not even lose the extra protections they were getting since Firefox pins google property certs as well.

This article deserves a bunch of credit for reasonably clearly articulating the distinction between thorium-powered molten salt reactors (the kind the Chinese program eventually aims for, and that groups like Flibe in the states want to build) and thorium-powered pressurized water reactors (like what India is going for). Lots of the amateur enthusiasm for thorium power glosses over the distinction, and while some of the benefits of thorium apply equally to both (like proliferation resistance), others (like many of the purported safety benefits) apply only to the MSR configuration, largely because it runs at atmospheric pressure.

The downside of the MSR configuration is that it's way harder to build, and involves some maybe-not-entirely-solved problems around corrosion resistance, since the salts in question tend to be pretty reactive.

"Now, every time I want to make a transaction, I need to keep track of my taxes."

I don't think it is really that bad. To keep things simple you can just have two accounts one for your long term BTC investment where you have cap gains and losses and another for your spending money that is empty unless you want to buy something and then you buy enough BTC for your transaction which you immediately spend so you have no gain or less to keep track of.
I actually bought an e-go a couple of weeks ago (had a boosted preorder but couldn't wait)

to address some of the comments on this page:

- flex: the orange things on the side of the battery are rubber, conceiling gaps in the plastic. This allows the entire battery enclosure to flex.

- range: I was sceptical about the 30km claim, but so far I've only been able to run the charge down to 50%. I opened up the battery enclosure, and they're using 28x samsung ICR18650-26F cells, so it does seem there's quite a bit of juice.

- planes: note that the battery is above 100Wh (more than 200?) and can't be brought on a plane. I did not know this and took it in my luggage..

- downhill: I noticed that the braking has a maximum force, so on very steep hills (20% ?) it would be braking at its max but you'd still be accelerating. Probably not a big issue for experienced boarders, but scary for a beginner like me.
I know of other ISPs that do the same. It's interesting because prior to the DMCA it was all about getting more log space to help with diagnostics and troubleshooting, or running interesting stats. Now that it's fairly common for requests of dubious legal quality to be made for user information, it's really the jobs of any reputable ISP to protect their customers by limiting retention of this information.

>When you measure particle A, something happens to particle B.

Couldn't that be the signal? For example, one person could tell the other: "When B resolves, press the button!" It wouldn't matter if B resolved to red or blue.

Is it that we cannot detect whether B is in a superposition state without observing it and therefore resolving its state to one 'position' or the other?

People should seriously realize that Google, Yahoo, and MS are not the only webmail services left in the world. There are lots of small to medium-sized, independent businesses that offer excellent email service with lots of cool features. The only reason they're not world-famous is because they don't hand out free accounts like candy, but that's also exactly why they can afford to treat you as a real customer (not a product).
