It wasn't a contentless comment. I explicitly asked for questions, because i do not know or understand which of the facts exactly are not understood or maybe even contested. I would still love actual questions to answer, because then i would actually know what specific information to provide. I'm not writing it all down right off the bat, because doing so would mean having to explain basic math principles, as well as soft human issues like how the very name of a language can make it perform better or worse on tiobe.

As an addendum: I do not think it is inflammatory if there is no other description of their actions that would be "softer" while also being truthful.

Welcome to the bizarre thought that percolates through the ultra-rich. I suspect the ongoing leveling process of the internet will make more of this visible over time. "Let them eat cake."
Yes, that is very true. This is kind of where I got my inspiration for this site. The difference is that I'm allowing people to post their ads for free and then seeing if people are willing to pay for being at the top of the list. We'll see if this actually works, like I said it's an experiment but will only works if enough companies register.

It Is a shity game. Allowing people to play it would have been bad for the brand.

Pretty sure cturhan did try jffry's code and that's why he wrote this code. The $ var on the page only returns the first instance that it matches so his code doesn't work.

A less efficient but shorter way is:

var interval = setInterval(function(){
var links = document.querySelectorAll('#problems a');
for(var z =0; z< links.length; z++) {
$('#'+links[z].id).click();
}
}, 1000);

Also he never called him stupid he simply informed him that it didn't work.

The fret placement was, slightly surprisingly, the absolute easiest part of everything. 99% of my time was spent on the math for producing the base fretboard shape (the fingerboard() function in fret_worker.js if you're curious).

Actual headline of the article: "The Sharing Economy Isn’t About Trust, It’s About Desperation"

Many of the commenters seem to be arguing with the HN title, without having actually read the article. (As usual, of course). But in this case it wasn't even the article's own title.

Yes, the sharing economy is 'part of the real economy', as another commenter said. It's just a part based on desperation and precarity.

I thought you might be new to Hacker News, but it looks like you've been a member for several years. You actually have a higher comment average than I do, so I'm surprised that you're surprised why your comment received down votes.

The decision of whether or not private chat occurs in that situation is up to your company though, not the company you buy the water from. This policy change by Atlassian shifts the ability to set policy where it should have been in the first place (as they've noted): to the company purchasing access to HipChat.
There is certainly no forwards and also no backwards. It is just an on going optimization process. It is on going because the constraints change. Most of the constraints can be summed up under the general term "environment". The effects of the climatic environment can be grasped more easily. However it is harder to grasp how all(or most) of the constraints feeding into each other, across both time and space.

With that said, life as we know it has a penalty on needless complexity. And, what does complex mean anyway? Complex genotype or complex phenotype? What is a good metric for measuring each one? Whatever the metrics are, it cannot be said that they are related monotonically. In this sense, we have four permutations of complexity i.e.[simple genotype, simple phenotype], [simple genotype, complex phenotype], [complex genotype, simple phenotype] and [complex genotype, complex phenotype]. Life as we know it is defined in the whereabouts of the genotype level. The "penalty" is on the [complex genotype, complex phenotype] type of complexity primarily because of the inaccuracy in the cell division process/processes (life as we know it!!). With many points that can go wrong in the foundation(cells->chromosomes->genes -- genotype), you don't want many points that can go wrong in the outcome(phenotype).

Of course life can (and does) beef up the genotype level with more complexity to try and ensure a rock solid phenotype (complex or not) but all factors withstanding, a simpler phenotype is easier to maintain.

"To get people acclimitized to salaried work", really?

Most people would say it took 50 years of constant strikes to force owners/employers to _change working conditions_ enough so people people in waged work (most of those people striking weren't 'salaried') had sufficient dignity and basic needs being met, resulting in some degree of social calm.

But you're suggesting they were striking simply because waged work was unfamiliar to them, and eventually they got 'acclimatized' (I think you mean 'acclimated'?), got used to it, and stopped striking? Rather than because their strikes actually succeeded in changing conditions?
Atari games were discounted to $1 or $2 and they were stacked to the celling at major retailers. They sat around discount stores for a decade afterward. There's still warehouses full of them.[1] The company produced millions more games than the number of systems they sold, so who would they have given them too?

This is great... I love the way it lays out popular ways of narrativizing our lives and making sense of what we need to be content. This game captures a popular narrative and popular needs, but it's also a great starting point for ruminating on how we differ from each other. For example, some of us may have little ambition or no pressing need to create and yet may be perfectly content. We should recognize our own needs as important to us while also viewing them as deeply personal and not necessarily universal.

This isn't a knock on the game in any way. I love how it cleverly expresses one man's view on what matters in his life.
I remember reading that FB saw each link as a different link, but I somehow managed to forget that while writing the comment. Oops.
Yeah I've read that article before.

Of course it doesn't change the fact that what was shipped on the cartridges 30 years ago was crap, or the fact it took 30 years for someone to decide to fix it. Atari's decision remains the same, in my opinion.
This is a really helpful article to learn about the early days of Google and the challenges in scaling your organization. Thanks for sharing.

I'm basically trying to create another medium for small companies to get traffic for cheap. It's much like http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ but I'm allowing companies to post their ad for free. Right now it's fairly simple, it's only the company logo and a link to their website but I will eventually add additional information. I want to first see if this actually works and I get enough companies registering.
To me it seemed like this game actually gives a very accurate perspective of context. It reminds me a lot of [if the moon were only 1 pixel](http://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.h...). Most of space is just pure nothingness. The fact that there is life at all is a miracle.

> Some languages do that for you. Allocating on the stack by default and falling back to the heap when it wouldn't be safe to allocate on the stack. e.g. if the object can outlive the current function call, it shouldn't be allocated on the stack.

> If the Rust compiled doesn't known how to spot unsafe stack allocations, then you don't have memory safety.

This seems like a weird thing to say given that the Rust compiler does fairly sophisticated analysis on the lifetime of data. (And yes, Rust has memory safety.)

As a low level language, the programmer decides explicitly what is allocated on the stack and what is on the heap.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree we should be clearer in regards to how it works. I'll put an example up there over the next couple of days.

In regards to the setup fee. We spend a bit of time before on-boarding where we get to know who is receiving leads in a team and who you are targeting. We didn't want to exclude small companies who start small and grow big and in some cases they were only using 1-5 leads a week. With an account balance it meant they didn't drop off after a couple of weeks and continued to receive leads until they had chance to see benefit.

At first we were all about the £1,000 per month minimum spend. Then we realised that two of our users spending that spent no more than £100 on their first invoice.
you are rigth in this case.

those companies exist for one reason... in the past there were rules so people dont send money to the wrong place in the stock exchange. those brokers and speed traders got ahead of everyone by bypassing those safeties with little refard for safety. the only sad part in this history is that it still havent haooened to all of them.
Maybe, but you are the buyside. its not about you. its about the sell side, and why they bother. the thesis is that the cost of carry on the assets is too high (eg, expensive real-estate).

to make the sell side work, its a hassle. people overcome the hassle, because the need the money. and in turn, the sell to people like you who want to lose the hassle by not owning.

So, the sell side is long hassle-factor. The buy side is short hassle factor. One side has cash, and one side needs it. If the allocation in the last sentence was reversed, there would be a busted market. But since it's not--presto the market works.

Its a worthwhile bit of understanding. And its generally true in other eras. EG many large victorian homes in SF were too expensive to be single family homes, so they became flats in the 20th century. Same deal--the house is too valuable to carry as a single-use asset, so sub-divide it and capitalize to other peopel who didn't want the "hassle" of a massively expensive house. Basicaly the upkeep became a problem when servants became too expensive.

That kind of thing--ie, a form of economic infeasibility--is what people are facing. Then, as now, even in higher price points. And thus you see decent listings for nightly and weekedn rentals in good neighborhoods where rents have shot up and people who could have afforede a private space now have "temp roomates" or what not a couple times a month to net a couple hundred dollars.
Some of us really do take notice.

After watching a tractor trailer carrying an armored personnel carrier painted with the name of a small-town police department rolling down the road just the other day, I welcome just about every check against the unprecedented police state in this country that has arisen over the past 15 years or so.

It's of constant frustration that the Founding Fathers didn't include the actual word "privacy" anywhere in the Constitution or Bill of Rights, but I'm one of the people that believe the Fourth Amendment basically covers and makes illegal almost all mass collection and seizure of electronic data that the Federal and local governments seem to believe is their right.

I may not be allowed reasonable assumptions of privacy when in a public space, but I do believe my email (stored personally or by Google) and my phone calls and text messages DO have a reasonable expectation of privacy around them, and their collection by government agencies must be extremely tightly scoped, if at all.

But that's just me, I suppose.

Chirality refers to the type of twist. While the side of the cord that is inner or outer will stay the same, but if you're looking from one end toward the other, the cord will approach you in a clockwise or counter clockwise circles. Possibly clearer, if you imagine screws[1] that are turned clockwise or counter clockwise to drive into a hole.

A kink where the chirality is different on each side is different than a kink where it remains the same on each side. It is possible to create a disturbance where the chirality or twisitng remains the same on both side of the disturbance.

Here is a drawing of how to create a disturbance in a telephone cord.[2] And, here is another drawing where two rigid rods have a flexible connector.[3] In these cases the chirality is the same on both sides, so you could just undo the loop.

However, in the photograph that was posted, the chirality has changed[1]. So, you would have to straighten and recoil one of the sides to match the other's chirality.

Having spent a fair amount of time with both, I have to say that I would suggest Rust. Go is not a well-designed language. The type system is mediocre, generic support is bad (you have to use interface{}, which is like casting to Object in Java or passing structs/objects around as void*s in C/C++), the language relies heavily on non-extensible built-in constructs like range and make(), etc. I use Go a lot, and I like it for building web services, but I really don't see the advantage for anything else.

Rust, on the other hand, takes a lot of cues from Haskell/ML and is actually a very well designed language with lots of cool features like a hindley-milner based type system with strong generic support, pattern matching, strong support for immutable and functional programming styles, etc.

Adventure Time is one the greatest things coming from recent American pop culture. It's not only imaginative, creative, fun, loving & caring and emotionally daring, twisted and complex beyond the naive first layers meant for present day children, and those work for them too. It connects with this old Gen-Xer in deep ways. There you have the Cold War angst, the fear and uncertainty we all were brought up with, which now has vanished like a nightmare, but it's still lurking inside. The technology in the post-apocalyptic World of Oo (delicious names) shows tokens of that age, BMO is a Mac, there are VHS tapes and CRT TVs, everything is old but has that timeless charm of the things you learnt first. And there is so much Sesame Street vibe deep down there, we were really educated by it. It's a love song from grown up kids to grown up kids. An uncertain world, full of charm and hidden dangers with pure heroes that make mistakes and surprising foes that have their adult reasons.

Just a quote. Episode "Beyond this Earthly Realm", Ice King is watching static on TV (how cool this was?), he can alter it because of his ghostly condition in that scene, and then he comes up with this:

“What do you think, Finn? Can we pull back the veil of static and reach into the source of all being? Behind this curtain of patterns, this random pattern generator... so clever. Right here in every home, watching us from a one-sided mirror.”

This is unassumingly awesome.
The Ice King is one of the most tragic characters ever written in recent times right next to Gollum. When you consider he was pivotal to how the Earth survived and how he protected a main character throughout childhood at a great ongoing personal cost - its astoundingly deep. The lore/universe is also very imaginative in the right way (somewhat grounded but very creative). Highly recommended. Watch Season 1 and 2 before judging because S01 is a little rough.
