So I think that there is a difference between something that is fake and something that was unsanctioned. Fake would be if someone had made the document and showed it to a reporter but never handed it out. This document was handed out by a group of people. The fact that these types of things are happening is certainly of note.

Here is the google translate of the Ukrainian article article cited on reddit:

Internet newspaper "News of Donbass", informing them of the news in the Donetsk region argues that in Donetsk near the synagogue handed a flyer. Instruction is an anti-Semitic nature and written in the spirit of Nazi references to Jews during the Holocaust. "Dear citizens of Jewish nationality. Due to the fact that the leaders of the Jewish community of Ukraine Bandera supported junta in Kiev and hostile to Donetsk Orthodox country and its citizens, Main Headquarters decided the following "- the statement says. further stated to the Jews to come with proof of identity, as well as documents on ownership of real estate. The appeal stated that the registration of Jews will be $ 50 in the office number 514 Donetsk Regional State Administration. Jews have not fulfilled the requirements waiting for deprivation of citizenship and confiscation of property. Downstairs leaflets stated: People either Governor Denis Pushilin and bears the seal of the People's Republic Donetsk. Journalists Media Project "Kiev Jewish 'asked for comments to Denis Pushilin. He confirmed that a leaflet signed by the organization he heads, really resounded in Donetsk. He assured that neither he nor his organization did not have any relation to it. "Some freaks yesterday distributed to outlets Kalinin district ... But even here the poor worked - I myself never called people's governor ... A Matsuka which is posted Online news days wa - a well-known grant-Donets ... "- said the media project" Kiev Jewish "Denis Pushilin.

Dramatic titles get the readers attention, therefore I get the choice of words. However, our industry is so big that there will never be a single solution.

XENIX was my first nix. Back around 1985 my high school had a Tandy TRS80 with the 68000 processor and 6-12 terminals. They used it to replace a Burroughs mini for the COBOL class. I just barely missed punching cards for the Burroughs and instead learned vi and stupid tricks like writing to other users' ttys. I still torment my Microsoftie friends when I remind them that they're the ones that got me started on nix, long before Linux or OSX came around.
Not that I want to litigate this story, since it's already dropped off the front page like a rock, but just in case it's helpful:

A moment's thought will reveal that the words in the guideline can be used to justify virtually any story, up to and including "intellectual" cat photos. The site guidelines, which I do not love, are mostly a framework for subtext, which you can really only get by following 'pg and 'dang comments.

Some indicators that a story is unlikely to succeed here:

* It involves current events outside of technology

* It evokes partisan politics or, worse, partisan nationalism

* It's based on valence issues, like "countries should not register their Jewish people" or "the NSA should not read your mother's email", about which nobody could reasonably disagree

* It's likely to produce terribly unproductive threads

Advocates for political stories on HN are fond of pointing out how a great community like HN should be fertile ground for interesting political debates. Old-timers on the site have seen enough HN political debates to know that the opposite is true. HN political discussion results in:

* Commenters arguing nastily with each other about how much more authentically they agree with a position they both hold

* Commenters that have had fascinating and productive discussions about technology or entrepreneurship or science reduced to slander and personal insults

* Threads dominated almost entirely by tired cliches that a sophisticated markov commenter could generate just as effectively; these are HN's equivalent of "First Post!1!111!".

I think you'll find that as you spend more time here, stories and threads like this are a sad aberration, and (fortunately) rarely survive on the front page for long.
It's not clunky it's more "dated" (and very functional).

This looks like it would serve the needs of my small team pretty well.

Hmm. I joined SCO in early 1991, and one of my first jobs in techpubs was working on documenting compatability between SCO-branded Xenix and SCO's release of SVR3.2 UNIX -- which was able to run binaries compiled for SCO Xenix (unsurprisingly) but offered a bunch of extras. AIUI SCO had been doing a lot of development of Xenix from 1986/87 onwards, when Microsoft made the strategic decision to focus on OS/2 and the successor to DOS. Taking on Xenix was what enabled SCO to grow to a $200M/year turnover multinational in about 5 years; and failing to understand the implications of Linux was probably what killed SCO (or rather, when they finally got it, they split the company and sold the UNIX IP to Caldera, who renamed themselves SCO and attempted to sue the universe) -- the rest is history.
The life expectancy gain of 2.5 years every decade is for life expectancy at birth.

Remaining life expectancy in old age is growing by about 1 year per decade.

An interesting, albeit a little too populist take on the options for the future of medicine and longevity:

http://inthetank.newamerica.net/blog/2013/09/drooling-your-s...

As I mentioned elsewhere, the current trends are all due to entirely incidental effects on the processes underlying aging. We should expect to see a great discontinuous leap upwards in life expectancy in the next few decades if the present disruption in the field of aging research takes hold and wins control of the mainstream, such that there is a sea change in the community to focus on actually treating aging itself rather than focusing on patching over its late-stage consequences. This hasn't been done yet to any meaningful degree, and so we should expect interesting results once it is a going concern.

oh apparently it opened a window in chrome as well. It's a link to that app where it generates a rule, gives you three numbers that follow the rule, and you have to guess other numbers and see if they follow the rule, and eventually you have to guess what the rule is.

Not what I had in mind. Ignoring the NXDOMAIN results, what makes you trust the VALUE of the NS/A/AAAA/MX/whatever records you get from Google (or any other resolver)?

Because I have frequently seen provably-wrong results from other resolvers, and some highly-suspicious results from 8.8.8.8 on occasion (though I haven't checked particularly often).

The point being, unless you're proving the results with DNSSEC (or similar), you can't trust any source.
Nah. If they announced this beforehand, they'd be vilified as "trying to extort money out of their longtime customers." This way, they're hailed as saviors of the endangered and abandoned.

From reading Redmond & Wilson's book "Seven Databases in Seven Weeks", my impression is that the CAP Theorem is a big idea (essentially, you get two choose any two: consistency, availability, and partition-tolerance). Relational databases have to be "consistent", i.e. transactions are atomic and reads always get the latest value. NoSQL databases make it possible to choose Availability instead of Consistency, so you can get faster response times even if it means you sometimes get out-of-date data.

I would use Mongo or Riak or something like those for "write once, then read-only" applications, for example a twitter or facebook type application, or simple blog. In those cases when the user hits "refresh" they're never going to know or care that they don't yet see a comment someone posted a half second ago. They're just going to be happy that the page refreshed fast.
that is awesome and I admit to not knowing about that. I've been on MySQL and DB2 for some time.
Depends on the country. As far as I know, at least back when I was a kid, taxi drivers in Geneva earned very well due to the monopoly and limit on numbers.

Benchmarking using wrk the smallest linode (1024 now 2048) serving a page from an untuned Rails application using nginx/passenger getting almost no other traffic. Hard to compare of course given the various other factors, but produced slightly lower performance after the upgrade. Serving a page from nginx directly (no Rails) had no appreciable difference in performance, I guess the Rails web serving is more vCPU bound?

> From a public health perspective, a 50% reduction in suicide by firearm would save more lives than the complete elimination of HIV deaths or cervical cancer deaths or uterine cancer deaths.

That's not necessarily true. Various methods of suicide are subject to substitution effects. As shown by several recent studies in Australia, a decline in the share of suicides by firearm results in a consummate rise in suicides by hanging.
I much prefer a basic construct that makes it simple to do filtering and sorting that can be simply extended to any complexity. Sorting and filtering are really nothing more than set manipulation (which they state themselves) so with simple data binding this becomes a trivial exercise to build an impressive client-side search.

In Ember that might look like this:

Ember.ArrayController.extend({
filterA: Ember.computed.filter('fieldName1', function comparator() {}),
filterB: Ember.computed.filter('fieldName2', function comparator() {}),

joined: Ember.computed.union('filterA', 'filterB'),

filtered: Ember.computed.uniq('joined'),

sorted: Ember.computed.sort(function comparator() {})
});

Or there is the simpler explanation that executive compensation is high because there's nothing to stop executives from looting their companies anymore. The traditional forces that would have restrained them (public shame, strong boards, shareholder conservatism, labor unions, tax consequences, etc.) are all at historically weak levels today, so there's nothing stopping executives from raiding the cookie jar. And each time one of them does, he pushes the compensation level all the other ones feel they have to reach to be "in the game" higher, creating a vicious circle.

Like most things in life, executive compensation is about power. And when one side has all the power, it's not surprising to see them use it to enrich themselves.

Half the comments so far are looking for a non-code demo, and I imagine they mean something visual, so here's a bare-bones visualized version of the Basic PourOver sample code:

http://gojs.net/temp/pourover.html

It just takes the queries and uses the resulting data to make some nodes in GoJS (Disclaimer: a Diagramming library I develop. Not free, but easy to set up with this kind of data and see stuff fast).

If I had more time I'd make it prettier. The results are just visual representations of the data results getting filtered. Its very easy to take PourOver's example collections and data-bind some stuff to them (color of the nodes is data-bound to monster gender, etc). I'm sure it can't be hard to do the same in other data-bound visualization libraries.

This is very cool. I'll try to make a much prettier example tonight.
For Haskell, Hakyll's source is pretty well written.
We solve this by creating a schema definition for mongo collections, from within the app layer. Now we have easy version control where we want it, not in sqldump files like we used to. That was painful.
I agree, but this is something else. The parent was talking about evolving schema. You're talking about what is effectively unstructured data. In this case, the main concern is being able to store the data first, and figuring out how to deal with it later, at the application layer, after you've added intelligence to deal with the new schema(s).
You must be reading a different set of comments from me. Overall I see quite a lot of short low-information / trying-to-be-funny / plain ignorant comments that add very little value to the story.
Yes, that's right.

> There is no proof that they're not passing that information onto Amazon, and it's just a policy on their end. Policies can change and then we will have no recourse.

Except for turning it off via the clearly marked option in the settings, or running a script that patches the feature out, or going into the source code and patching it out yourself, or waiting a few months until Canonical switches the default to "off."

But yeah, other than that, you have no recourse.
Looks pretty feature-full, and I really like the idea of compression / decompression of data for the browser. I don't like how complicated the PourOver API seems to be, but maybe that's just a side-effect of it being so feature-rich.

We open-sourced our client-side datatable, Knockout Datatable. [0] While it definitely doesn't come shipped with as many of the niceties of Pourover, the built-in ':'-delimeted filtering is really handy for quickly providing both searching and a dropdown of pre-built filter choices. Additionally, it uses Knockout.js which, in my opinion, is much easier to extend and use than many other client-side MV* frameworks.

This seems totally reasonable to me. I was playing around with using Firebase (https://www.firebase.com/) as the datastore for a turn-based multiplayer game on the web and its data policies seemed very well suited.

Essentially, each game was its own document and relevant stats were updated/duplicated on the player documents as well.

There don't seem to be useful relationships here that I'd want to query. Maybe successive game states? But not across different games, right?

> And I don't think an ALTER can survive in a transaction, i.e. it is not something that can be rolled back. It can be undone via another ALTER that is it's opposite, but it cannot be rolled back the way INSERT and UPDATE can.

It can in databases that use transactional DDL (and, really, doing so is part of the relational model, since part of that model is that metadata describing the structure of data is itself stored in relations and -- whatever the syntactic sugar layered over top of it -- can itself be manipulated with the same tools that regular data is manipulated with.)

All of Racket's `#lang` family of languages are implemented with macros on top of core Racket. For example, Scribble, mentioned in another comment, is the documentation language used to author the article, and the Racket docs[1]). Or Slideshow, Racket's programmatic Powerpoint alternative.

Try to add a static type system to Racket or Clojure. Oh but you don't have the ability to change the runtime system. With macros you can do it. See Typed Racket[2] or Typed Clojure[3].

I think the question is the substitution effect. If easy access to firearms really did increase the total number of suicides by a substantial amount (i.e. they were more effective, or people were not willing to use other methods), then I'd view it as something specific to firearms.

I'm pretty sure there is near 100% substitution, but that firearms are a much more effective method, which accounts for the net difference.
From 2002:

"My perception when talking to Cutts was that importance (the popularity and relevance of the backlink) counts more than the number of backlinks."

I think REST is orthogonal to relational data. (Actual REST, that adheres to HATEOAS and a real REST standard. If one rolls his own JSON services, it's not REST.) HATEOAS puts no constraint on how your data is shaped. A specific implementation of REST may or may not have a nice way to navigate graphs.

> If you can't wake up every day and, using your 100% original equipment God-given organic brain, come up with the three most important things you need to do that day – then you should seriously work on fixing that.

This is simply the stupidest argument I've encountered recently. People possess various mental abilities, and the condition of one's mind is not necessarily stable throughout their life, every single day. I've had some days, wherein I woke up 5 minutes before the alarm went off, with the exact plan of that day I've made before sleeping in my head. But there are only so many of these days in my life; I am usually very forgetful, and a to-do list is way more precious than anything for me [1].
