People might expect coffee to be hot, but they do not expect the coffee to be hot enough to kill.

She suffered full thickness burns. This is a significant wound. The burns were on her legs and genitals. That turns it into a medical emergency - rush to nearest hospital, let them stabilize you and send you to a different hospital that specializes in burns.

Also, the car was not moving at the time of the accident.

You might want to see https://github.com/jsdelivr/libgrabber; it's a cool tool jsDelivr folks are building to keep their repo automatically updated. Sure, there's no monetary incentive but those guys are genuinely passionate about making the web faster and better for all.

It could be because the only people who want to read an article that defines functions and expects them to be familiar with Big-O notation can reach these conclusions without reading the article in the first place.

That being said, it's generally believed to be (or measured) that the social network of the world is a sparse graph. So the fact that the sweep function is quadratic in the degree of a vertex is irrelevant. Using your notation, X is bounded by a constant for all intents and purposes.

In other words, there's nothing inherently bad about the quadratic behavior, and "knowing math" doesn't give you much except perhaps a false sense of intuition. The arithmetic (and your ad-hoc estimates) just works out in favor of your argument. Which is not all that surprising conditioned on the fact that you posted an argument :)

I think that they've already voluntarily given up control over the destiny of Firefox, in a sense. By imitating Chrome so closely these past few years, we haven't seen any real innovation out of Mozilla. They've been following, rather than leading. Since they aren't calling the shots, they don't really have true control over the future of Firefox.
All I want is a fast, functional Gmail.

Any shine they want to put on it is fine by me.
Reputation systems, reviews and properly skeptical consumers, are what to aim for, in determining who is good and who is not. Whether for restaurants or doctors. Not frightfully pricey lawyers and other coercive, after-the-fact institutions. And, in the most egregious of cases, say McDonald's spiked granny's coffee with a hand grenade, the criminal courts get involved as a last ditch anyway.

Reliance on civil courts may sound attractive to the naive, but the lawyers and institutions involved, are just as single mindedly focused on their own personal gains, financial and in prestige, as either party to the original dispute. It's not that they are necessarily systemically partial to one side or the other, but rather that they are partial to making the fight as acrimonious and expensive as possible. As that is, after all, their "side."

My understanding is that resubmitting good stories is explicitly permitted. If we had a more meritocratic way to decide what exposure each story gets we wouldn't need to, but we're not there yet.

It took me four tries over three years (!) to get Citizen Kubrick to the frontpage[1]. It is IMO the #2 article I've ever read, and it's too good to submit once and give up just because of the vagaries of /newest. Given that I was willing to be so persistent, I'm not sure what harm my repeated submissions did.

I wouldn't have been as persistent with this one, but it seemed worth a second attempt. (Though I wasn't aware that it had been attempted the very same day; knowing that would have changed my decision.)

Two third parties, even.

Github's uptime is good enough that I don't see anything inherently awful about a workflow that makes development difficult when Github is down, but any production deployment process that strictly requires anything beyond a working internet connection and a working server to deploy to is insane.

Well, I've got nothing close to a 600 page book, but I offer a number of smaller documents at the website for my side business, plus some software and other design tools. If I have any ulterior motive, it's that those materials give me some technical credibility and maybe generate a bit of goodwill.

Has it helped? Over the years, it's gotten me a little bit of "buzz" on web forums, and has attracted a couple of people who wanted me to do custom work for them. Also, in a manner akin to OSS, a couple people have been kind enough to report mistakes in my documents.

It may be hard to predict bandwidth usage, but electricity, gas, and water aren't perfectly predictable either, and unlike bandwidth we're incentivized to estimate them and to self-throttle to the extent reasonable (e.g. turn the thermostat down at night).

That's a really interesting idea; tracking prices and potentially giving a Buy/Wait indicator would be really cool.

CamelCamelCamel[0] actually does some price tracking, but I'm not very familiar with what they do with it (with regard to giving advice on whether to buy or not). You might be able to grab some information from them on products via an API or scraper. I'm not seeing an API, nor do I see anything about using their data for other stuff, but I suppose it goes without saying that a really aggressive scraper wouldn't be welcome.

What's the alternative, replicate everything in-house/self hosted?

Erm... Yes? You write that as if hosting your own repository is somehow a foolish or implausible thing to do.

Should startup stop using third party service providers?

Stop? Maybe, maybe not, it obviously depends on the circumstances.

Stop relying on them without a back-up plan? Absolutely. If you can't run your essential systems without GitHub, or any other third party system that isn't under your direct control, then you need better contingency planning.

The severity of the injuries is important because McDonalds had ignored many previous accidents and had ignored a CDC request to reduce the temperature.

Reducing the temperature reduces the severity of the injuries.

Using your marshmallow analogy: if you sold the marshmallows in individual plastic shells and children started eating the marshmallows by sucking them out of the shells, and children were sometimes choking because they were inhalling the confection, and you were told about this but ignored it, then yes you probably should bear some responsibility.

I case you think this is unlikely: http://www.food.gov.uk/news-updates/news/2011/mar/jellycupba...

She tried to settle for $20k for medical expenses and lost wages but McDonalds offered $800. McDonalds had more than 700 reports of injuries from the coffee. Their internal quality control manager reported that they recognized that they were posing a burn hazard to customers with the heat of their coffee, but that it was a minor concern that they were unwilling to adjust.

McDonalds admitted that not only were they burning customers who drank the coffee straight from the cup, many of whom needed medical treatment, but that this was something they were unwilling to change.

That is clearly not frivolous. She tried to settle. She was not looking for a big score. In the process of discovery the company was openly belligerent about their plan and willingness to continue to pose a public safety risk.
I've argued the substance of the issue elsewhere in this thread, and don't feel a need to restate points which you so evidently have no interest in considering. From a purely pragmatic stance, though, may I suggest you hang your argument for tort reform off some case other than one in which someone's genitals had to be rebuilt more or less from scratch?
It's a discussion of "good places to find large datasets open to the public". There are 132 or so answers, so I wouldn't even try to copy them all here (copyright issues aside anyway), but here's the current contents of the answer wiki. Note that some of these got partially truncated by the c&p from Quora, so if you want the full URL, you'll have to login or get somebody else to fix it. I'm too lazy for all that right now. :-)

I think this comment is quite misleading. Your average IT Security Group within an organization is not a 'miniature NSA group'. The difference is where Data is collected and monitored.

Your average IT Security Group is focused on their own Internal network. This includes all Internal and External Traffic/Communication going to/From the Internal Network. The reality is, most Security Threats come from an internal source [1]. So yes, your average IT Security Group is interested in monitoring, analyzing, and sometimes dropping internal Traffic. This allows the Organization to track and respond to Data Breaches and Security Incidents. The overall insinuation of this comment seems to be that this is Evil and a Violation of your Privacy (Spying!). But if you've ever worked with (or used Services provided by) any Organization that has a handle on Security, you've likely signed a User Agreement Form (or similar), which clearly states what is going on. So nothing is hidden, and when you think about it, this is a logical reaction to the realities of Security in today's Digital Age. If you can't trust people, then it makes sense to implement checks and balances. Instead of thinking about it from the perspective is a User, think about it from the perspective of a Service Provider, and it makes a lot more sense. If you think this is Unjust, then the solution is simple. Provide your own services and control your own Destiny.

A 'miniature NSA group' is (presumably) focused on External Networks and External Data Sources. And I say presumably because it is not really clear what you mean by 'miniature NSA group', but the insinuation is clear. So this is very different from your average IT Security Group, and it is not correct to insinuate that they are one and the same.

The problem with that theory is that many doctors require patients to sign documents that prohibit online reviews, and many "bad reviews" from patients are somewhat frivolous. So reputation management is largely worthless in the medical field.

Additionally, in Texas for example, tort reform has done nothing to limit costs of healthcare (though it has made malpractice insurance much cheaper, which makes life nice for doctors and their insurers.)
Which is true for most cases. Why do you think mechanics call it "idiot lights"? Because people see Sparks coming out of their breaks or drive on bald tires, or never change the oil or inspect coolant level and color... Until a idiot light tells them to think about the car. So yeah, most drivers would never even see most of those lights.

And the check engine light which is the only one a driver with half a brain may still get... Is akin to a "?".
One solution. Stay out of the app store. Develop on the web in HTML 5.0. No businesses between you and the players there. Once you are a bit hit, you cut your own deal to go onto other platforms like Facebook and the app stores.
But, hypothetically speaking as of now, could this be automated? And if so, how?
hey are you thinking of open sourcing any part of the code? i can think of a lot of further applications of this, especially relating to mesh networking
Oh I don't doubt that. I meant finding out who was lurking around HN on a late Saturday early Sunday. The team at Github does great work!

That tends to happen when you dump hot things where hot things shouldn't go. The same kind of idiocy that leads to the absurd list of obvious warnings on products that we all like to make fun of. Irons warning you not to use them on clothes you're wearing. Baby strollers telling you to remove the baby before collapsing it. Coffee cups telling you the contents may, indeed, be hot.

Is the severity of the self-inflicted injury the rubric by which we judge frivolous lawsuits now?

What cements the case as being meaningless in my mind is the fact that they were not ordered to strengthen their cups or to brew at a lower temperature. That alone tells me that the "danger" here is only encountered by people doing otherwise stupid things. Such as sticking crushable cups of scalding hot liquid between your legs in a situation where your legs will not remain static.

The fact that 12 people could be convinced that a faceless corporation was doing something negligent (which isn't exactly hard on a good day) due to a horrific, but ultimately self-inflicted injury that 99.99999% of people manage to avoid holds precisely nil value in my mind because of the sheer statistics in play.
This is genius. And it shall incite scandal.

Have you ever had McDonalds coffee? It's not as though we're talking about the stuff you get after it's been through a civet cat's digestive system, where it's scarce and expensive and you really want to extract it at the recommended 200 degrees Fahrenheit to get every last molecule you can of the volatiles out of the beans, so that you aren't wasting your investment.

McDonalds coffee, conversely, is just plain old shit. It's the worst coffee I've ever had, and that is saying quite a lot. If you've ever tasted it, you know that they could brew it at 200, 180, or 140, and it's still going to taste just as godawful. There is absolutely no reason they need to be passing it out the drive-through window at temperatures high enough to peel skin and poach flesh if the half-awake minimum-wage worker who poured it didn't pop the lid on quite right -- or if, while taking the cup and getting it settled into the console, you fail to pay the sort of attention commensurate to a potentially life-threatening process which you probably didn't realize was potentially life-threatening.
100%. GitHub is amazing. GitHub is a wonderful tool. GitHub is also just a service cooked up by a handful of jokers who got enough funding to make it happen, and they do a reasonable job of keeping it running most of the time. I wish them all the best, and yet making my own company's infrastructure reliant on it is not something I'm comfortable with. Sometimes they're going to blow it, and that's ok. If them blowing it means my business is affected, I'm the dummy.
Did you miss the part where the coffee was hot enough to melt skin and incur third degree burns? If you want that, then yes, I would say you need to be protected from yourself.
Well...there is this case:

Right. If there's bytecode of any sort that needs to be converted to machine code on the fly, then we aren't dealing with a native app.

We wouldn't consider a Java app running on HotSpot on a desktop or server Linux system to be considered a "native app". Thus we shouldn't consider a Java app running on Dalvik on a mobile Linux system to be considered a "native app" either.

Maybe that will change in the Android case if ART and its AOT compilation approach is more widely adopted. But that'll still be some time in the future, if ever at all.
Did you read the proposal? Or are you one to only gather information from biased news articles? Hell, the proposal isn't even up for public review yet.

If the standing committee agrees to take up the
matter, the proposal would be opened for public
comment in August for six months. It could be
amended before the comment period begins and
would eventually need to be reviewed by Congress
for changes.

We can't even _look_ at the primary source material until August, and you've already got an opinion on it. Until then, I'm going to post sarcastically to privacy advocates who likely haven't even read the damn thing yet.

And you've already closed your mind and think its an "unconstitutional general warrant". Hah.
On #1: They might remove Hangouts from Gmail-on-Chrome if they planned to integrate them directly into Chrome/ChromiumOS. More likely, though, is that that button in the top-right corner isn't a drop-down, but rather represents a currently-collapsed Hangouts sidebar. That sidebar is probably expanded by default, like Facebook's.

On #2: it's well known that people have a bad experience reading extremely long (i.e. more than ~65em) lines of text. It's actually better to wrap a subject line onto several lines than to let it go on all the way across your 2560px screen. Ideally, web pages could just specify a maximum width you could stretch the browser out to. But, since they can't, they drop in some useless whitespace.
Any coffee heated to the point where it is still drinkable at the end of a 20 minute commute, will be hot enough to kill if poured straight down your throat in one gulp. It is up to the customer to have some sort of clue.

I am pretty sure that when granny makes coffee herself at home, she makes it at least as hot as McDonalds serves it. Whistling kettles and all.

In a country of millions of people doing stuff, sometimes the stars align wrong for someone, and they get hurt. It doesn't have to, and in fact rarely is, someones "fault." It wasn't granny's "fault" that this one time she fumbled the lid and spilled coffee. Given enough tries, sooner or later anyone would, as it is a positive probability outcome. But neither is the probability of it happening large enough to say McDonald's was "at fault" of something. Stuff happens. Sometimes nice stuff, sometime less so. No need to feed a lawyer army either way.

It's the same silly obsession with finding who's "at fault" that underpins the enormously inefficient (except for, again, for lawyers) "at fault" car accident insurance schemes in place in most states. Despite most accidents and other mishaps being the result of all manners of complicated, best modeled as random, factors. None of which are a specific party's "fault."

But of course, there's the old adage about most people ending up in law school, do so because they couldn't hack math well enough to ever get into the complex systems classes....:)
Is it remarkable because of how rare it is for admittedly insufficient disposable coffee cups to negligently discharge their contents all over their users, or because of how rare it is that such discharge results in life-threatening injuries and years of reconstructive treatment to try to repair destroyed genitals?
