Chrome is simply a packaging of Chromium with nonfree third-party plugins: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoo...

There is no such thing as Chromium browser, just packages of Chromium source built by different distributors like Ubuntu, Red Hat, etc. You might ask to be called back when a particular packaging other than Chrome gets significant share, but if you ask when Chromium (including all packagings) gets significant share, that's already happened.
Adobe, Valve, game companies in general, Akamai, Salesforce.

By all rights, Cisco, Juniper, Foundry, etc. should be on there, since neutrality means more business for them, but they can't piss off their biggest customers.

It's an impressive list, but there are a lot more big names in American tech than that.
Maybe you can, not always.

Did you issue the payment from your account a service? Did you issue it from a hardware wallet? Did you, by chance, happen to decide that you want to use an anonymization tool when buying your exploit? Perhaps, you have a strict retention policy and destroy keys which are no longer used and can't sign for it anymore…
Why Twitter’s Newest Tweetstorm Trend Must Be Stopped
The letter stops short of asking the FCC to classify broadband and the internet with common carrier status. Bummer.

Call the CEO of the other company... Tell him that you can save him 5+ years of development if he buys you. If you can't beat them join them...
Ironically, dang himself just got accused of posting something "not worthy" of HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7712692

There seems to be a remarkable difference between what people feel HN should be, and what it actually is. "Quality" seems to be more of a sliding scale which correlates to personal bias, and perhaps, a feeling of alienation brought about by a diverse community, than anything objective.
That comes from his refusal to use other libraries. He'd get the same performance using a library that abstracts thinly over epoll, /dev/kpoll etc.
That's Yuan very high price...
So is this really going to get Wheeler to stop the push? I don't think so the broadband provider have their hands up his ass up to his mouth.

Fuck you Wheeler.
If you're negotiating terms for a relationship that's intended to be more than a one-off transaction, it's in both parties' interest that the outcome be fair.

In the modern business world, truly one-off transactions are very, very rare.
The community will drive to a common form which is shaped by the community managers (mods and power users). I believe @pg gets that and the people taking over also get. Additionally some users may simple outgrow the community even if the community stays exactly the same.

I think HN gets a lot of things right to foster what I enjoy, which is intelligent conversations about a wide variety of forward looking topics. I think the biggest risk at the moment is spamming the site with what are essentially targeted ads/click bait because of the user base is, but for the most part the front page is decently curated.
p2p can work well, world of Warcraft being a prime example. DRM is also no problem for an easy solution just have a few important bits in another file which is downloaded separately. The real issue is rock solid multithreaded low level networking code is way beyond the skill level of the average ruby on rails code monkey.

The greatest benefit I can see with PaintCode is the ability to make parameterise-able images with expressions. Creating cool little dynamic vector images that can be driven through your code (gestures, accelerometer, etc) seems really nice.

I think as has always been the case, money talks more then words ever could in a political system. If these 100+ tech companies each put in a few dollars, they would have enough lobbying money to swing the argument in the right direction. We are only at the current point in the anti-net neutrality argument because ISP's and telecommunication providers have been lobbying Washington rather successfully.

It's a sad fact he with the biggest cheque book wins, especially when it comes to reform. Look at the whole music/movies piracy argument, it extends as far back as the late nineties; publisher groups, the likes of the RIAA suing people and skewing the legal system by throwing money at the right people who have the power to vote and act upon such decisions. It's happening all over again, except this time the repercussions will be far worse then any anti-piracy bill.

I'm not saying lobbying is the only solution, but if the entities on the wrong side of the argument are doing it, does it matter if Google, Amazon, Facebook and other companies issue statements and express concerns to congress if it will only fall on deaf ears or be brushed off as a selfish act?

It kind of reminds me of when Labor were in power in Australia before the recent election and were in the process of rolling out the National Broadband Network (NBN) which was a fibre to the premises plan the current party has basically scrapped. Google Australia issued a statement saying the current Government needs to understand the value of such a network, but they were shrugged off. If they opened up their cheque book and started donating to particular Government interests and districts, would they have been taken more seriously? Maybe.
The scenario where Upcoming excelled, or at least the one that that seemed to "convert" users and why I think 10yrs later it's still so fondly remembered (looking at the response on Twitter has been nice) is when Upcoming told you about that event that you didn't know about and would have kicked yourself for missing ("if only I had known this thing I would have loved to go to was happening last night!").

Over the years I experienced this first hand many times (regrettably, also a lot of "can't go, too busy working on Upcoming"), but I haven't seen anything since that's provided the sort of social+interest-based serendipity that Upcoming did in its heyday. A lot of times in the past few years when I've been traveling I've wish there was something like Upcoming that could recommend the most interesting things to do in a city that night (like 4SQ or Yelp for events).

"I am Google"
Yes. Thanks. Thats what I meant. To add to it: "Just got their H1.. and have a spouse on H4".

An efficient marriage strategy considering this proposal would be to get married after you are ~4-5 years into your H1B, and marry somewith with a STEM background. Now those would be very stringent marriage norms :)
I've attended other codemkrs hackathons in New Orleans, and theyre always pretty fun. At least from a dev's point of view, the endless supply of food and soft drinks is awesome. It doesnt hurt that I've won prizes at a few of them.
>Are we that enamoured with the aura of Elon Musk that we really believe the major automobile manufacturers, with their hundreds of billions of dollars and reams of engineering experience, won't be able to match or surpass what Tesla is doing?

YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES because Tesla seems to be in the process of gettting it.

For the same reason Google was able to exist when Apple, Yahoo, and Microsoft when, by your thinking, "with their hundreds of billions of dollars and reams of engineering experience," should have crushed them. Because Google got it

It is similar to when Woz was asked how many computers they could sell and his immediate answer was "a million" Surly against IBM and their "their hundreds of billions of dollars and reams of engineering experience" Apple would fail, right? But Woz knew better and when asked how he knew he could sell a million "because there are at least a million ham radio operators" Because he got it!

For the same reason that on Slashdot, when the iPod was revealed, the editor's comment was "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame." Slasdot didn't get it, Apple got it

Similarly, Tesla's cars are the first cars I've ever wanted. wanted wanted. I have a car, I use it, it isn't sexy or special to me. I want a Tesla. They aren't there yet, but they're on the path and will "get it."
Just give people a Green Card after 12 months on an H-1B and a bunch of these problems all go away.

This is so tiresome. All so a bunch of companies can import wage slaves to depress tech salaries.
Not at all. SRP is about enhancing the cohesion of things that change for the same reasons, and decreasing the coupling between things that change for different reasons.
Use snippets and just hit the run button for a near-identical experience. There is a keyboard shortcut for it too IIRC

I am seriously burned out on timeshifting bullshit.

They should have 3 or so live channels to cover realtime, and one fluffer channel for the uncommitted clueless. Everything properly DVR'd enabled.

Until then I'm just youtubing on my own time.
The whole point of the "Chrome is proprietary" argument is that we don't know exactly what Google added to Chromium.

Since the diff between Chrome and Chromium is not open-source, there's no way to verify that Google only added what they claim to have added. For example, we wouldn't know if they slipped in an NSA backdoor along with a bunch of plugins.

This comment might not be the most popular but I happen to think it is right on point.

At twenty years of age this kid got a chance of a lifetime and blew it. This is tantamount to getting a winning lottery ticket and throwing it in the trash KNOWING that it is a winning ticket.

I get all the altruistic stuff. I do. I also get that business and innovation is and has always been about doing it different, better and faster than the other guy.

There's nothing ethical about recognizing the opportunity of a lifetime and ignoring it out of a really questionable sense of duty. This is some really faulty decision making.

Let me put it in more simple terms: A good person can do a lot more good with money than without. Period. End of story.

This can take many forms. If he felt so strongly about owing to prior projects he could have offered to share in his new-found fortune in some equitable way. If he really didn't want a pile of money he could have taken as much as he felt he needed and donated the rest to worthy causes. Perhaps support FOSS efforts, help entrepreneurs in his country, launch an incubator, etc., etc., etc.

I know people who are currently relying on the benevolence of friends to have a place to sleep. I know one person who is probably within a couple of months of seeing his last dollar go through his hands.

The idea that someone is dealt a hand like this one and he absolutely blows it out of some juvenile mental fabrication takes on a very different context when you see people who's lives could be changed in massive ways with just a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars per month. At some level I could see a person not taking advantage of such an opportunity as incredibly naive and selfish. Don't do it for you, do it to help others. What could be better than that?

Here's my back. Ready for the arrows.
While I don't disagree with the coolness of uuid, how exactly do you 'run out of integers' ?
It depends on the accounting method.

> Q1 non-GAAP net income was $17 million, or $0.12 per share based on 140.2 million diluted shares, while Q1 GAAP net loss was $50 million or $(0.40) per share.

It will also get more confusing soon thanks to the new lease program:

> For leased vehicles, we will recognize lease revenue over the term of the lease in both our GAAP and non-GAAP financials. In contrast, automotive OEMs recognize full revenue for the price of the vehicle, even if that vehicle is eventually leased, because the vehicle is first sold to an independent dealer.
First Model S sales decline since 2012, and worst free cash flow (negative too) since Q1 2012 despite last two Qs had positive cash flow.

One can argue how meaningful these are but it is headline glances and lack of strength in other momentum stocks that make first moves.

Some say the lack of strength in momo stocks is related to the alibaba IPO but we have seen sector rotation which may undermine this theory.
Every generation has simultaneously sighed at the naivety and stupidity of its elders and panicked over the naivety and stupidity of the youth.

I personally lucked out, my dad was into computers from an early age and had been buying games for me and my brother dating back to DOS, and he used to play them too.

So when my mum was panicked over the violence in GTA 3, my dad had already seen and played 1 and 2. The intent in your actions were no different in 1 or 3, just the graphics. If graphics are going to turn us into murderers and psychopaths, movies would have done it decades earlier at the height of horror movies.

I can only hope I too have enough sense to realize the stupidity of my own generation and comprehend the view point of my son when the next moral outrage occurs.

One of the outrages in my youth was the effect of pornography on teenagers due to ease of access. Funnily enough despite having access at a younger age than any of my peers (and admittedly frequent perusal of it) I ended up married in my very early twenties, my marriage is going on the 6 year mark, we've got our first child, we own a house. All those things generations of old did. In fact pornography made me such a sex craved pervert I've only ever had sex with my wife.

It's almost like the generational panic was... bullshit.
To be fair he did explain that he thought that the host name might be indicative of whether or not it would be druck. If he knew exactly how that was the case (and if it was already known that it did have effect), why bother with machine learning? Just write an explicit scoring mechanism.
The argument that George W dumbed himself down to appeal to the greater American public has been made before, as illustrated in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvknGT8W5jA.
> Also, most people who have cars in these markets prefer to be driven, rather than driving themselves. Vehicles for the Chinese market tend to emphasize back seat comfort and features. Tesla will likely try to make their features more back seat compatible.

This is definitely not true in Shanghai, where most people drive their Mercedes, BMWs, and Audi's by themselves (besides, hiring a driver full time in SH is at least 8K RMB/month now, the days of drivers willing to work for 1K a month are over). If Tesla is wise, they'll go after the faster "drive yourself" market than the high-official "be driven" market.

In secondary markets, drivers are more popular, but even then the market of self-driven cars is growing much faster.
We should not be quick to assume that the absence of a company from the list means they agree with Wheeler's plan.

Two general problems with this, and they're common to many content-recommendation / filtering systems.

• Explicit rating actions are only a small part of interactions with a site. Other implicit actions are often far richer in quantity and quality -- time spent on an article, interactions and discussion, the quality of that discussion (see pg's hierarchy of disagreement, for example), and other measures. As Robert Pirsig noted, defining quality is hard.

• Whose ratings you consider matters. The problem of topic and quality drift happens as general interests tend to subvert the initial focus of a site or venue. Those which can retain their initial focus will preserve their nature for a longer period of time, but even that is difficult. Increasingly, my sense is that you want to be somewhat judicious in who you provide an effective moderating voice to, but those who get that voice should be encouraged to use it copiously. Policing the moderators (to avoid collusion and other abuse) becomes a growing concern (see reddit and its recent downvote brigades against /r/technology and /r/worldnews).

Yes, freelancing might not be exactly legal. Lot of people still do it.

IANAL, but I think it is legal to work for a foreign company from US, as long as the company is in no way associated or affiliated to US. Someone please correct me if wrong.
A Technical History of Apple's Operating Systems (2006) [pdf]
Does the price scale linearly or is there a high barrier to just get any kind of car anyways? If Singapore puts up a high initial barrier, the cost of the car is sort of secondary, or do they also have high import duties and luxury taxes on top of that?

If its just high registration costs, you'd expect to see a lot of higher end cars since there is not much point to pay $50K just to buy a $20K car.
Future computers might be a lot slimier
I would imagine that an absence of neutrality is still well within Cisco's interests — its an opportunity to design and sell a whole new class of products and services specifically around throttling and limiting traffic.

Working on The Witness, Part 1 (2012)
Totally agree. If anything, the vested interests in this case are generally more obvious than they were/are with our ill-fated NBN.

I think it's time for the big tech companies to put their lobbying efforts into overdrive and supplement that with another public awareness campaign across their web properties, modeled on the SOPA/PIPA protest.
Genuinely curious: were you not expecting a traffic boost from HN?
That is the most disappointing thing I have seen all day. Oh well.
Yes, this is very very good.

I would enjoy clarification on the difference between ridiculous and comical numbers, as for me these words are largely synonymns. I'm referring to the section that says: "If you are somehow forced to give the first number, make it ridiculous, but not comical. For instance, double your number, but do not ask for a gazillion dollars or some completely off the wall number that will show you are not serious. Welcome an outrageous reaction to your ridiculous number, then smile and shrug. The first offer may be zero, the advertised price, or an “Anchor” number."

If someone makes a starting bid of "zero", for example, that would be both ridiculous/comical. (As why would the 'seller' even show up to hear bids of zero.) So more examples here or another way of putting the same thing would be helpful. (A doubled price doesn't strike me as "ridiculous" so much as uninformed or unreasonable.)

I realize author says that we shouldn't give a number at all.
A CDN serves content from its own servers, so I wouldn't say that Netflix is buying CDN service from Comcast. It's paid peering.

I don't think he means "tell the other party where your priorities lie". I think he means "don't negotiate and finalize each point one at a time" because if you do that, then you can't give on something you don't care about in order to get more of something you do care about. I remember getting that exact same insight from a previous HN thread.
The more information about this kind of thing the better, as long as it's well written, but why do you target it at self-taught programmers? Do you assume they know less about the topic than someone who has done a CS course? I'm a self-taught programmer, and I recently wrote myself a small OS for an ARM Cortex MPU (which I need to get around to writing about). Now, I'm no expert in scheduling algorithms, or IPC performance, or various advanced topics, but then neither are most CS graduates. This is a topic nearly everyone can learn from.
Oops, I did it wrong. I skipped a zero.

They state that the particle differs from light by 1 cm every 220,000 years. Considering the age of the universe is about 14 billion years, that works out to 63636 cm. It takes light 2210 nanoseconds to cover that distance.

SYCL 1.2: Unofficial High-Level Overview
They don't. You can have fewer stores than workers. In the benchmark, we could in fact do with very few stores because they are not really used. I'm sure you could fiddle with the worker, load balancer and store count to get better performance (it depends on the system's requirements).

An interesting feature here is that in theory you could have a host with two 20M connections and a host with a 10M connection and a 30M connection and by using more than two subflows they could communicate at 40M.

I wonder if they've considered what happens with this for hosts that are very multihomed. If you have two hosts that each have 25 addresses, do you actually want 625 subflows? Or do you want to countenance the possibility that only one address on each host is fast and you didn't create a subflow between them because you didn't try every possibility?
Ask HN: Why copying someone else's app or game is allowed in app/play store

I bake ami using both packer and ansible and then do blue/green deployments using asgard from netflix. Asgard streamlines the whole process of creating a new autoscaling group, ramp up new instances and then cut of live traffic to the older instances. They also expose a simple http api to fully automate deploys.

I have been doing continuous deployments baking ami's with asgard for a couple of years now and have had great results.
