I agree.

Actually its about knowing when to sleep than sleeping less always, more like when to accelerate and when to brake. I guess that's what Edison did too.

Many times over a period what you really need is long stretches of un interrupted time to get something big done. You will have to take a break after that. Come back with a fresh purpose, an new challenge and start again.

> Realistically, however, it will be too much hassle for readers to shell out money every time, and too much hassle for publishers to manage all those micropayments. So there might be a valid business model for a middleman

True, but there is still the feeling that you might be going through the pain of signing up and putting a chunk of money down upfront for something that you might not find useful. Of course that fear goes away if it takes off and gains a good reputation.

I think I would would be more inclined to try a service (aggregate or otherwise) that rewards the pain of sign up with a certain amount of free content per month. Then require payment beyond that.

Another approach would be free access to older content. No one pays for old newspapers, but you can judge the quality of the content.
I like the additional info on that site! Would you want to consolidate efforts and use:

https://github.com/jaspervdj/static-site-generator-comparison/

as an underlying list, too? Maintaining a listing is pretty tedious with all the SSGs out there. I can set up web hooks and whatever to push to your servers if the listing changes.
Digitizing old newspapers isn't all that great an intrusion -- though it makes old content available, you're still bound by the bandwidth of those original print sources. It means that you might see what had been talk-of-the-small-town splashed around on national or international coverage now. In a levels-of-harm basis, it's not so bad.

On the weighted importance, one of the interesting elements I've seen said of Xeer (mentioned recently on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7736841) is that there's a concept of increasing obligations with increasing power or wealth (this is hearsay from a reddit comment, the Wikipedia article doesn't touch on this). It's similar to how I feel disclosure rules should operate. Someone with little or no impact on society should fear little disclosure. Someone with a great deal of impact (financial, political, military, religious, cultural power, or with a record of criminal acts causing suffering or death to others) should be obliged to disclose more of themselves.

As for coming up with automatic rules, I doubt that's possible, but then, it's not in law either -- that's why we've got judges.

Your criticism in going after Google has merits, though any law such as the EU one should address not only the access and indexing of such information, but of its use. Though proving someone knows a certain fact or accessed a specific piece of information is at best difficult.
That's really useful in itself, but no, I mean something that lets you read the actual OpenGl spec with the extension text patched in.

If you skim the text of an extension [1], you'll see an awful lot of this:

> Add a new section "Buffer Objects" between sections 2.8 and 2.9:

It'd be very nice to read those sections without having to have the full spec open in another window. Especially because some other extension you're using might be modifying the text as well.

I made a motivated and reasoned argument that Islam obviously have problems with extremism -- and it is in an all or nothing approach, hard to skip parts of the craziness.

I didn't argue that even the majority of muslims in the West are extremists, in e.g. Bosnia they had modern Islam. (But do check statistics in different countries about antisemitism, homophobia, etc. Also, see support for AlQ, before they started to kill too many muslims. Or the high number of votes for religious parties in many/most muslim countries.)

You answered by calling me intolerant and discussed how attitudes hurt yours/others feelings. Those aren't arguments, it is emotions. My girlfriend gets away with that, I expect better on HN.

If you want to move, consider Sweden.

The media there stamp Denmark and Norway as racist/fascist influenced (those are certainly on the top ten lists of most tolerant countries on the planet). The media is at the same time much, much milder about the intolerance preached in many mosques, so they have insane double standards. The Social democrat party almost put an islamist in the party board, until the media for once reacted. But don't worry, it is only religious homophobes and antisemites which are courted for votes, not right wing ones.

(And yes, this comment is certainly enough to stamp me much worse than religious people refusing to shake hands with women.)

You'd fit right in. But the long winter dark is painful.

"I have no idea if they have file editing from the browser (though they probably do)"

They do. It's turned out to be an awesome feature for me as an org-mode user (so I obviously have an editor). You can add to org-mode files from any web browser and then it's on all your machines with the next git pull.

The breakdown of the OKCupid process has these two comments about illustrations:

1. Illustration of smiling high confidence person draws you in.

2. The illustration feels a bit flat and 'uncanny-valley-ish.' it leaves an
impersonal impression, but that might be the intent (i.e. you get the
personal stuff when you log in)

Would you be surprised to learn that these comments are about the same illustration? I was. I clicked back and forth 4-5 times to make sure I was not missing something. A lot of the comments made it seem like I was listening to Foamy the Squirrel give stream of consciousness impressions as he signed up for online dating.

It's tough, but doable.

Kids take up a lot more time. Partially because they need looking after, but mostly because they're so much fun. You want to spend all your time playing with them, teaching them things, or even just staring at them. It's a big (but very good) time sink.

And your outlook on money changes. I remember the month way back when, when my SaaS profit first hit $600/month. "I can live off this!" Sure, you have to live kinda cheaply but a fella can scrape by on not much money, particularly if you're travelling in a cheap country.

But not now. My kids are not going to scrape by on ramen and crash on couches with me. We need houses, savings, and other grown-up things. And, sadly, that costs money. For that, you either need to 10X the old dirtbag revenues or take a contract gig.

You can see how it might spiral out of control if you're not careful. Take a job to supplement the business revenue, end up starving the business for time, while still not seeing the kids as much as you want. It takes some balancing.

But it's all doable. And the hard bit is transient. Once your business is ticking away well enough to not require a side-gig or take up 40 hours of your time each week, you'll find yourself chasing the kids around the lawn on a sunny Tuesday afternoon, knowing that you don't have to head back to "the office" at all that day if you don't feel like it.

Definitely worth it in the end. Good luck!

Simple did have low fees -- but almost certainly unsustainably so, given the evaporation of their interchange-based revenue model with the passage of the Durbin amendment. Unsustainable pricing does not constitute a good product.

As for the others, linking external bank accounts for transfers is actually a super common feature? Not sure what you mean. And lots of banks have apps for checking charges (I don't know about realtime alerts, but that seems like more of a design choice).

I think this supports my claim that Simple was more of a premium UI on top of standard banking features than anything really disruptive. But in the end we agree on that.
(I also know nothing about this stuff.) From the article I gathered that, if the person is immune to this anti-cancer virus, it won't have any chance to do its job before it gets eradicated from the system. Which seems to be a problem: after first attempt this treatment won't work again since one's immune system will definitely recognize the virus (having immune system weakened might do the trick though).

The article also mentions that most people in US are vaccinated—I'm not sure how to read that: vaccinated from this particular virus?

For every use-case you'll encounter, there is so many answers.

There is no "when you want to do X, use language Y" guide, because it would be pretty stupid. Every good programming language can be used for nearly all your programming needs.

The only thing you need to keep in mind, is where the target program should run (and the list is very small):

- should the target program run in a browser? Use Javascript or a language that compiles to it (Coffeescript, Dart, TypeScript, ...)

- should the target program run on an embedded board (very low memory footprint, very low CPU cycles available)? Use a language with manual memory management: C, C++, Nimrod, Rust, D ...

- should the target program takes the most performance out of the hardware (games, HPC, performant system library, ...)? Use a language that makes fast executables: C, C++, Nimrod, Rust, D, Go, ...

- should the target program runs on a web server? On a desktop computer? Any case that doesn't fit the previous three? Use whatever language you want or are familiar with, they all can do it, and there is no "best choice".

Yes - they denied it... because it was false. "Direct access" is not the NSA's own words, they were The Guardian's/The Washington Post's words. The slides themselves say "Collection directly from the servers of these U.S. service providers...", which we later found out means "provided under court order directly from the providers". The Guardian article goes on to say:

"When the FAA was first enacted, defenders of the statute argued that a significant check on abuse would be the NSA's inability to obtain electronic communications without the consent of the telecom and internet companies that control the data. But the Prism program renders that consent unnecessary, as it allows the agency to directly and unilaterally seize the communications off the companies' servers."

That is a blatant lie. The companies receive court orders - they have the ability to challenge the court order in the same way that they would challenge a subpoena or search warrant by going back to the court. If the FISA court doesn't agree, there's still a higher court to appeal to. There has yet to be a retraction of The Guardian's statement.

> As for the "court order," they're just talking about a FISA court order which only "allows the data to be queried when there is a reasonable suspicion, based on specific facts, that the particular basis for the query is associated with a foreign terrorist organization,"

You're mixing up programs now. That quote comes from an ODNI statement[1] about the FISA Section 215 metadata collection (I'm not going into that one now - that's a whole different mess, and IMHO that program is rightly controversial). The PRISM slides repeatedly indicate that this collection under FISA Section 702, which gathers content and which has a whole different set of legal requirements. Most prominently, people collected on under 702 must be reasonably believed to be outside the US and not an American citizen/green card holder/etc. The Snowden trove has yet to show any general warrant style orders related to PRISM.

I think the LOVEINT example actually works in favor of my argument - there was a small group people doing illegal stuff at NSA; they got caught; as a result, they don't work there anymore. You could go on to ask why the DOJ didn't prosecute, and I wouldn't fault you for questioning - I don't know the answer to that one. But citing LOVEINT to justify limiting the NSA's capabilities is kind of like saying "this cop fired his weapon and killed an innocent civilian, so we need to disarm the entire police force."

They mentioned the second patient in the article:

The trial included two patients. Russell said the treatment worked in Erholtz, whose tumors were mostly in her bone marrow. However, it was unsuccessful in the other patient, whose tumors were mainly in her leg muscles, the Star-Tribune reported. He said more research is needed to know how the nature of the tumor affects the virus.

What struck me from reading this was the amount of failure and "suck" they had to deal with before they finally had any success:

"Despite middling results from titles like Wild Gunman and Battle Shark, Yamauchi remained committed to his new vision and continued to allocate a vast amount of resources toward videogames. "
...

"Space Fever was followed by Space Launcher (underwhelming), which was followed by Space Firebird (disappointing), which was followed by a slew of unsuccessful non-space-themed games. After this string of mediocre misfires, Stone and Judy were ready to quit, and Arakawa couldn’t help but reconsider his new vocation. "

...

"That foreboding was validated after the three thousand units finally arrived and Stone and Judy found that operators had little interest. Radarscope was fun at first, the consensus appeared to be, but it lacked replay value."

on and on through failure after failure they kept trying until finally, Donkey Kong.

It's a lesson: while consistent reliable and predictable success is what everyone wants to achieve, the reality is often "failure, failure, failure, failure... huge success that finally makes up for all of the previous failures".

Losing sleep to hit a deadline the next day is valid, but it isn't a productivity enhancer. I have always needed a full 8hrs for good work. -- John Carmack

On the one hand, I think you're probably right. I've had good experiences with implementing unorthodox sleeping habits.

On the other hand, I think we as a species have proven ourselves to be remarkably good at adapting ourselves to different circumstances, and 8 hours also seems to be a working approach, as well as one siesta during the day.

The biggest problems I faced with polyphasic sleep was that 1) the world assumes 8 hours nightly, so it was hard to maintain after being a student, even as a freelancer, and 2) it required more conscious effort than 'normal' sleep to maintain, partly because of 1. It often resulted in me getting too little sleep in the end, because life would throw a wrench in the schedule...

Still, it's utterly fascinating. In case you haven't read them yet, the blog posts by Steve Pavlina on his experiences implementing polyphasic sleep are quite fascinating (much as I'm pretty sure I don't like the guy, to put it mildly).
49" is fairly small for a 4K TV; you have to sit quite close to be able to perceive the resolution difference and get the IMAX fill your peripheral vision effect.

Gamers often do sit that close, so it would be interesting to see how well it does as a monitor replacement, like the 39" Seiki's that some are using. 49" UHD is the same as 4 24.5" 1920x1080 panels so would not need any sort of scaling in legacy operating systems.

Most of the changes that have happened in the last year have been either to simplify the language, or to remove superfluous features. This is a good thing, especially for a language that is carving out a new domain. By the time 1.0 is out, the developers will be confident that the language is good, and they'll be less likely to change it down the line.

A third problem which hasn't been discussed: If a new treatment is hapharazdly applied and a lot of patients die from it, funding will dry up and continued research will stop. Not to mention that the US legal system would be a problem for the doctors involved.
