Where they found no evidence or harassment, sexual or not? For those who are sure that Horvath has been wronged, this outcome will never be convincing.

Further it's worth noting that while Horvath can go off slinging whatever accusations she feels like, Github and its employees are all seriously constrained. If they pulled a Tesla and responded openly, they would be attacked for it, guaranteed. This is the best they can do.

Most of the tech examples I know of in the US are small, boutique, often ephemeral consulting companies started among a few friends. Often the formal structure is a standard partnership or corporation with shares evenly divided. If the partners get along, are smart about things and the market is good, they often do quite well while they last. Many of the companies are kind of transitory - doing web page design and the like in the late 1990s, and then when the market dries up, the partners close the business and go their separate ways. Or sometimes one partner is hired by the company he is consulting for, another moves across the country following his girlfriend, and the remaining partners agree to wind down the business.

The consumer gets their money back not by reversing the transaction, but by calling in the law and getting large men with guns to force the person to return the money.

Actually, consumers get their money back by calling up their credit card company, saying "I didn't make this transaction," and then the credit card company issues a refund and a new card. I've done it.

Anyone can be a bitcoin payment processor, meaning anyone can set up a fake system to steal your money. The best you can do with dollars is to steal a credit card number, which gets you prison time and no money.

But only in the US, it seems. So far, while the UK might have (a poorer selection of) Prime Instant Video, it doesn't have the FireTV and won't be getting the HBO shows. Maybe they'll launch at the same time?
The latest episodes are not on Amazon or iTunes (or DVD). Just searched for Game of Thrones season 4 on Amazon and iTunes to confirm.

HBO's business model is exclusivity, which in my opinion is anti-consumer.

Don't spread FUD. I get 1080p streams on my PC when I rent or purchase videos through Amazon VOD or watch the free ones through Prime. If your PC isn't getting HD (but for some reason your other devices are), the problem is probably your computer or its network connection.

They're downvoting you because it has nothing to do with "hipness", it's just the way it's done in some cultures.
at least in Germany everything below a value of 150€ is except from custom fees, VAT still applies.
Well, this is frustrating.

I didn't mean that I want to be a freeloader. "Problem-free" doesn't mean "free". I just had too many problems making them believe that the my stuff aren't newly purchased from the country I'm returning from[0]. Also when I do purchase something, it's very hard to convince them that I actually did purchase it for the price I declared. I believe I'm also entitled to purchase stuff below X euros without import tax (IANAL, though), but so many people around me had so much problems with the customs that I don't even try.

Customs processes aren't as simple as "pay the duties and be happy". From what I see and go through, they can be extremely annoying and complicated.

So, you see, it is actually only you, talking about not paying taxes. I see that some also suggested illegal workarounds to my problem. Honestly, no, thanks and I'm also not responsible for what they say.

I hope you don't accuse people with theft so easily when you're talking straight to their faces.

[0]: In one case, they didn't allow me to go through with the camera I purchased from Germany when I was returning from the US. I had to open Canon's web site to prove them that Canon uses a different model name in the US therefore it wouldn't be possible to purchase it from the US. They were still complaining while letting me go. Now I keep the receipt in my bag if I'm carrying a shiny new gear.

Wikipedia is a great example of where donations DO work. I couldn't imagine an internet without it, and I'm happy to donate and support it.

Sadly the data suggests that for most websites donations are not a viable alternative to ads. Some numbers here:
http://blog.pagefair.com/2014/introducing-pagefair-ads/

I think the challenge is that we use many different websites every day. I've probably visited sites today that I've never been to before and will never visit again. These guys are not getting a donation from me.

Maybe the future internet will consist of a small number of donation-supported sites, but wouldn't it be sad to lose all this variety?
I agree, there's that 10% in C/C++. And, you're stuck. But working around that 10% is an annoyance, not crippling. (In over 20 years as a professional C/C++ developer, I have never hit something that I couldn't write. "when <test> <expression>", for example. Yes, I can't write that exact syntax, but I don't care. I can get the same result, though perhaps slightly more clumsily.)

But Lisp without macros is crippled.

But, as lispm and gjm11 pointed out, Lisp could have been implemented with those macros as special forms instead, so Lisp wouldn't have to be crippled without macros.

My main point: I think the Lisp crowd overestimates how limiting it is for other languages not to have macros.

Facebook gets U.S. antitrust approval to buy Oculus
The Amazon Prime, Netflix apps are front-and-center on the Xbox and PS3 console dashboards. One click install, enter username / password, and you have a very easy to use navigation / search for instantly streaming anything. If you own one of these devices (a lot of people do), it is a pretty easy experience.

The problem I have with devices from Apple, Google, Amazon are that they limit them to make their own content front and center, and often they won't even allow sources outside their own. With a console, I can stream from Hulu, AMZN, Netflix, or a PC in the office. Plus if you add a DLNA server like http://playon.tv, you add hundreds of other sources.

The selection is terrible - a few BBC series and some weird films. It's really annoying, because Amazon.de has quite a lot of great TV series and films, all dubbed in German, usually quite poorly.

I honestly don't understand how German audiences tolerate it. 90% of the time, it really just sounds like a bunch of actors sitting in a studio, reading lines melodramatically. I seem to remember the LOTR dubs were well done, though. In contrast, I saw the first episode of Game of Thrones at a friend's house and it was godawful. Completely lost the nuance of every performance.

Anyway, other streaming services (Maxdome, Watchever) will give you the original audio track, but their selection is also rather limited.
Sadly, this isn't just sales people. In a former job, I had a manager who was also an active developer do this. I've never found myself quite so infuriated with another person at work as I was with him.

> As I understand it, IPv6 still has private addresses

Yes, but they were a late addition, postdating IPv6 by 10 years, and aren't meant to be used lightly.

IPv6 is designed for easy & automatic renumbering so there's less need to hold on to a specific prefix as an "island of stability".
Well, I like Go, and it certainly has its use cases. But I personally worked on a hard-realtime safety critical mission Java project (if the program gave the wrong answer people could die, and if it gave the right answer late, tens of millions of dollars would be lost). We couldn't have done that without Java's concurrent data-structures (which Go doesn't have), without Real-Time Java's hard realtime guarantees, and it would have been very cumbersome without Java's brand of dynamic linking.

So sometimes Go is good enough, but sometimes you need the full power of the JVM.

I created an app using some of nathanborrors work that let's you browse through all of the Sonos Music services (Like Rdio, Spotify, Pandora, iHearRadio, etc). Setup your account, browse through your collections and play them on your system. I should submit a pull request to see if I can get this integrated into this project!

You can see the project here: https://github.com/drewying/Sonos-Music-Services-Browser

I also have an app on the App Store that turns your Sonos System into a wireless PA system. The current version is a little buggy but an update is coming shortly that makes it
much more stable. You can check it out here:

Very nice. Comes with Roundcube so you've got a webmail client available.

- DKIM signing on outgoing messages (opendkim).
- The machine acts as its own DNS server and is automatically configured for SPF and DKIM (nsd).

I remember many people running their own SMTP server used to have massive issues with their outgoing mail being silently or non-silently ignored or sent to the spam folder. Does this take care of this? "Mostly" really isn't good enough.
Please put a strong rate limit on the dns server to prevent it from being used for ddos attacks.

Ask HN: Simple, yet Powerful Programming Languages?
C.A.R. Hoare once said "There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult."

There is also another famous quote "Everything Should Be Made as Simple as Possible, But Not Simpler"

What are some programming languages that illustrate these concepts, especially ones which have a high power to weight ratio, simple concepts giving a lot of expressiveness but without being overly baroque or complex?

has been so successful that it's interwoven in a lot of
programmer identities. TDD is not just what they do, it's who
they are. We have some serious deprogramming ahead of us as a
community to get out from under that, and it's going to take some
time.

Not a comment on the author, or on the general idea on tests (which I mostly agree with).
Just installed it, seems to run great and it looks good too. Selfishly, I would LOVE if you wrote an article about implementing signup with facebook/twitter via rubymotion. What did you write your server using?
If the certificate authorities can reduce the price of a SAN cert (multi-domains on a single IP, not to be confused with SNI), I guess a vast number of IPv4 can be saved, e.g. we host quite a number of client sites and we need IPv4 for each site just for SSL.
With every solution that comes along to solve the "host your own email" problem, and every guide that takes you step-by-step, I always find myself just wanting a huge wiki-style site with all the topology of a good, secure email/groupware server explained in plain English rather than a package that purports to do it all for me. Something with breakdowns/discussion about the different options that exist for the different pieces that make up the whole.

It's one thing to easily obtain my own personal mail server, it's another entirely to understand and be able to maintain/improve it.
Oppo and OnePlus are actually not the same company.
Sounds like its a little more than running the setup script, as you need to choose a hostname and then setup Reverse DNS. That could make a docker instance harder to create if there's customization needed.

The irony of Docker IMHO so far is that it almost makes installation that needs configuring with user-specific values harder, unless they know how to build docker instances themselves.
There are dedicated laws for gas station drive-offs and as far as I know the police take it fairly seriously. In some states you can lose your driver's license for committing a drive-off.

If gas stations managed to survive the era of ubiquitous post-pay transactions without being killed by drive-offs, you are not going to convince me that bitcoin double-spends, which are vastly more difficult to pull off than simply pulling up to the pump, pumping, and driving away, are somehow an insurmountable problem here.
As I type this reply, the counter says parent comment is 15 minutes old. It is the top comment right now. Why on earth? It is an off-topic comment! Is it because anti-Bitcoin sentiment is popular? Or is it because on HN the top comment must always be negative, even if off-topic, for some weird bias of the community?

The paper doesn't even discuss what you claim. This is the paragraph before the one you quoted:

"There are several important flows in the concept MTF reactor. However, this
work focuses only on the compressible aspects. Consequently, issues such as
the vortex formation and cycling lead through the reactor to generate steam
are left to follow up work by General Fusion."

I do think you know you are misrepresenting the content of the paper.

Your calculations are derived from a mild parabola, I'm not going to bother looking up where the formula fails. We're talking about a globe, which must change this drastically. Which I frankly also think you're aware of.
