I think the intended audience is people who want to practice finishing as opposed to perfecting. I often struggle to finish bits of writing I start because I go back and read and re-read and tweak and then before I know it the afternoon I allocated is over.

The Bitcoin Foundation is the non-profit trade organization responsible for development of the core protocol & Bitcoin client libraries and advocacy of the Bitcoin protocol itself. Think of it like the Linux Foundation, Python Software Foundation, or W3C - its job is to coordinate and advocate for the technology itself, because everybody in the ecosystem benefits from that. So yes, you can use Bitcoin without caring about the foundation, but future development of the protocol, including most of the interesting stuff surrounding smart contracts and apps. It's somewhat unfortunate that it doesn't have the buy-in of many leading players in the Bitcoin ecosystem (and your comment is evidence of that), because that indicates a possible leadership vacuum and fragmentation in the near future.

I keep trying duckduckgo and other search engines, but they all still suck compared to google. Bing isn't too bad, but still not as good as google.

It seems that google is just successful because they have a good product. Therefore we want to break them up? That doesn't make any sense.
I thought this "accident" may have been on purpose... until they mentioned the servers.

Distributions from his 401K would count as income and he would receive a 1099 to file and report.

What doesn't make sense to me is that if he's as poor as he claims, he may actually qualify for a lot of assistance in the form of earned income tax credit, food stamps, section 8 housing eligibility, etc.

I'm not qualified to judge his past behavior or what not but by looking at his bank statement, he doesn't seem to be spending his money wisely. I live a few blocks from him so I recognize those places. Rotten Robbies is a gas station which usually means overpriced groceries and sundries.

If he has the ability to work, he could invest the rest of his money into renting a car and then driving for Uber or Lyft. Uber is guaranteeing $40+ per hour for 6 months which is a hell of a lot more than you make as a dishwasher. The only consideration is if he can keep a 4.9+ rating out of 5.0 which seems like a stretch from someone who may be having problems.

How would a German official break up Google? Perhaps Germany could bar them from supporting users (or products :-) in Germany, but in that bad case scenario, Google would just lose some small fraction of its business.
My exact thought. Some Youtube videos already amplified so I must adjust the system. Some are not so I must max Youtube and then increase system until reaching the comfort level.
I'm going to ask for a source again. The article you link to is about television broadcast spectrum, not telcos and broadband.

Yes, there are a lot of options, both commercial and non-commercial, for full drive backups (then you restore the using those and the incrementals). Do that for your provisioning servers and you can redeploy a lot of the infrastructure based on that.
I really prefer to have a transcript available. This is for users who prefer to get a feeling of the talk (is it interesting enough for me to stay on it for 30 minutes?) and also for accessibiliy. People who cannot hear should be able to read the transcript, even though I can safely the # of deaf users using your service is so low, but still a transcript would be really nice. I don't expect 100% accurate, which means i am okay with it done by a machine (much like Youtube's transcript). Knowing half of the content is good. This surely is a big project but consider it at some point.
> In New York City, the mayor has turned Verizon's FIOS deployment into an economic justice issue and hired a civil rights lawyer: http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20140219/TECHNOLOGY/140....

I can't speak to the other cities, but please do not cite NYC as an example in your argument. De Blasio is not what's preventing FiOS expantion in NYC - Verizon is[0].

As someone who actually lives in NYC and has tried to get FiOS installed in multiple buildings, there are two problems. One is that buildings have exclusive agreements to provide television service through either Time Warner or Comcast (usually because the superintendant and/or owner gets free cable as a result of this agreement), and that Verizon refuses to provide FiOS Internet unless they can also provide television service.

Verizon is fully aware of this problem, and they've framed it in a way that allows them conveniently to point the finger at another entity.

Verizon is "trying" to deploy FiOS in New York, but they're not really interested in expanding their coverage.

> De Blasio has hired a civil rights lawyer to look into the issue of poor people not being able to afford FIOS! I would say the bottleneck is definitely NYC's government

This would only be relevant if the NYC government were the ones actively blocking people who can afford to pay for FiOS from having it installed, but as explained above, that's not the case.

(You mentioned this point in another thread, but I responded rather late, so perhaps you didn't see it. In any case, my response is still relevant here. )

[0] This should be evident even from the fact that De Blasio's only been in office for less than 6 months, and it's been years since Verizon made an honest effort to expand FiOS coverage in New York.
There is an easy econ 101 answer response. If you're really trying to help the poor at the (presumably managable) expense of everyone else, then subsidize the subscriptions of the poor households by explicitly taxing. This dramatically reduces market distortions and makes clear exactly what's happening. Putting up rules that require the rich to indirectly subsidize the poor in the way being described (making the tax invisible) predictably leads to an awful situation.

People often reply "this isn't politically feasible", but that's giving up the game. If the opaque, inefficient, and difficult-to-measure strategy is politically feasible but the transparent one is not, that's a good sign it's a bad choice.

Putting broadband internet on the same level as electricity and water seems absurd to me. By far the most common use cases for broadband are streaming video, gaming/DLC, and piracy. Is there really a point where it becomes reasonable to consider Netflix, Xbox live, and The Pirate Bay essential services?
> Are there any other languages that allow the calling scope to specify how lower-level functions handle errors without unwinding the stack?

While it isn't a mainstream language by any means, a scheme dialect called muSE [1] that I developed for writing logic for automatic music video construction supports such resumes and retries. [2]

(Apologies for shameless plug)

edit: I just saw that the clojure library "ribol" has an api design similar to muSE's in principle. A couple of design comments though -

1. The "on blah blah" is too much syntax for this. It prevents direct sharing of handlers between similar situations. Function argument pattern matching ought to be enough.

2. The retry options mechanism is somewhat limited - the options seem to apply only at the raise point itself (disclaimer: I've only had a quick glance at ribol). It is more useful to have multiple retry options at different scopes so you can partially unwind, try something, if that doesn't work unwind some more (perhaps involving cleanup), try something else, etc.

I think muSE's design is better on both these fronts.
The natural affect of this is that many neighborhoods would not be served at all.
Reminds me of some emails that went out at my old university during a cluster outage, and got progressively more informal as the night went on, detailing people leaving dinners with extended families, a growing sense of desperation, etc. The last email might as well have ended with "Tell my wife I love her."

It was both direct and funny enough that I was only mildly annoyed that the cluster was down.
Doesn't it require innovation to improve latency, bandwidth, and cost?

On this note, it's annoying that OS X doesn't provide an external per-app volume control like Windows has. For example, Gmail's voice chat doesn't have a volume control; if I'm watching an iTunes video at the same time (along with the person I'm voice chatting with) and want iTunes to be louder than the chat (due to background noise from the latter), the best I can do is turn the iTunes volume up, but setting it to maximum is insufficient. With such a feature, I could just turn down the browser's volume, though I suppose it's still worthwhile to have volume controls directly embedded in video players for convenience.
No, but I would argue that regular internet is approaching an essential service. Nobody needs FiOS but lots of people need access to email/web browser/etc.
Congrats Otavio and team!
Every 4-6 months, after reading some articles about tmux, I get the urge to try it again. And I always come back to screen for many of the same reasons (and the fact that it's not on a lot of systems by default).

The session/window/pane/instance thing is definitely confusing and not well explained. I think it's even worse if you already have a lot of screen experience.
Ask HN: Is there room/need for a search only Google Competitor?
I was thinking about it a little today and realized that with the way that Google is growing (in a way becoming the GE of the internet), it starts to generate a lot of conflict of interest when it comes to search.

For example, their products, subsidiaries, and investments might get higher "organic" rankings ahead of other organic results. They have every right to do so and one can only assume that it's in their best interest.

So this begs the question, is there a need in the market for the next search-only Google?
Neither does it work under OSX 10.8 + Safari 6. I'm used to games asking for latest&gratest in everything, but a website?
>I've brought this up before, but “literature” carries the connotation of “scientific literature”

to you. That connotation didn't even cross my mind. Regardless. Are you going to wait until there is a peer-reviewed scientific paper telling you TDD is good before you'll believe it? Do you have personal experience that TDD seems to make your designs better? If so, is that less true to you because we haven't scientifically "proven" it?
Tell HN: System Restore Saved Me
Wow, major computer (win 7 lenovo laptop) problems, I haven’t had problems this significant in years. It took 6 hours to resolve, 6 hours of my life I will never get back.
Sometime in the early evening google chrome just started freezing and crashing anytime I clicked on a link from another website. Web sites I visit a lot seemed to load ok (cached?), but linking from them to other sites seemed to cause the issue.
I researched (on another computer), tried a solution, more research, more solutions. Disabling add-ons, virus and malware checks, etc. It was also happening with IE, some of the solution attempts seem to fix IE, but certainly not chrome. I even uninstalled and re-installed chrome to no avail.
I tried booting into safe mode to do some troubleshooting, and guess what, my computer got stuck in safe mode and would not boot back in normal mode. I couldn't connect to wifi.
What ultimately saved me (normal mode again) and fixed the chrome issue…system restore to 3 days ago…thanks to auto system backups!
smooth. Though, for some reason it couldn't parse my top-level address. Worked fine if I provided a second level URL
Upvoted. HN is full of shallow younglings who self-righteously downvote to disagree. I miss the old days when PG discouraged that. (Not that that was ever effective, which is probably why the policy changed. It's just the climate was different.)

I don't think this is what you're talking about but I've been working on this Google Doc for a little over 6 months and i've titled it "working remote".

The concept is simple...

It's all the information I need to be able to work effectively from anywhere in the world. Internet or not.
I plan on cleaning it up one of these days and posting it to Github or something but essentially it covers some of these topics...

Hardware : Best hardware for traveling. From most efficient machines, to best travel HDD for size/cost, backpacks, roll-up solar panels for emergency charging, etc...

Software : A massive offline collection of documentation. All searchable through an interface like Dash, (also with alot of Stack Overflow material), offline dev environments (like localstorage for assets), etc

Various Tips : Like how Starbucks doesnt turn their wifi off at night. So when I take fly fishing trips through the appalachian trail I can usually drive to the nearest town and find a Starbucks to push the code I wrote that day.

* You should figure out what you want to do, or what you want out of this experience, and then figure out how you'll do it. If I were you, I would pick my top 2 cities or startups and then do everything I could to find work there.
Why is it not open source? I smell lock in.

I think he's asking what happens if you have two panes side-by-side and try to select text in one to copy. Does it also select text from the other one?
Sometimes the best thing that can happen to you is that you never get around to backing up your laptop with your working prototype, and somebody breaks into the trunk of your car late Tuesday night while you're parked on the street around the corner from the Stud at 9th and Harrison, eating grilled hot dogs wrapped with bacon and smothered with caramelized onions at Trannyshack, and steals all your hard work, so you have to rewrite it all from scratch.
"Most common use cases" by volume of traffic maybe, but Internet is increasingly necessary to pay bills, correspond with customer service for practically any company, communicate with your child's teacher at school, renew your driver's license, and practically any other mundane task.

It's not that there aren't offline alternatives for these, but they require maintaining an expensive infrastructure of buildings and people. It's going to be cheaper for everyone in the long run if we can move everybody to doing things over the Internet.
>"As soon as the accident was discovered, the SCCM server was powered off – however, by that time, the SCCM server itself had been repartitioned and reformatted." //

If the SCCM server was pushed the "update" then there doesn't seem much hope for other machines? Surely no rule should be able to format the server running the ruleset; seems like a failsafe failure there at least.
I guess it was a bit tongue-in-cheek, and meant more that "if the Android team all of a sudden re-architects the entire platform", then they have a way out.

In all likelihood, any Android 5.0 release will continue to be an incremental upgrade of the Android platform. But lawyers don't like committing to anything.

Could have just been a dead squirrel in the pipes. All cleared.
Nope.

Regional competition for services which require expensive infrastructure is non-existent once the first player has entered the market.

Any competitor trying to enter would need to build out the expensive infrastructure, only to be undercut in the following price war and lose because of recent costs. It's textbook game theory.

This lack of competition leads to a deterioration of quality of the service as the sole market holder doesn't need to continue to invest in infrastructure. Instead they can invest in lobbying which helps further cement their hold on their market, or invest in advertising to take customers away from shittier service alternatives, like DSL.

Quality is the exact reason why something like transportation is handled by local governments, as opposed to letting private toll roads dominate the market, which have no incentive to patch pot holes when it's the only option available.
What was the URL so I can debug?
So, in the end, exchanging a key over a wire inevitably turns out to be a bad idea. What tools are out there for physical key exchange?
I kinda like the idea of starting gently so you can see what's going on.
Of course, here in the UK, in a lot of places, we have just that - FTTC with VDSL to the home, which a number of companies share. Less common in rural places, of course, but in cities and even a number of towns it can be hard to find places that don't have it now.

We have a single company (BT Openreach) that's highly regulated by Ofcom which lays said cables and owns the relevant last mile infrastructure. This company then sells access to said infrastructure to retail ISPs.

Ofcom has enough teeth to force this company to perform upgrades, through both Government-based power, and the fact that because if the company didn't, the retail ISPs could reasonably band together and lay their own cables (at significant cost and likely regulatory nightmares, but they could certainly tear into Openreach's margins). There's a couple of companies which already do that on their own; Virgin is one, I believe, and it's trying to follow the US "media company" model.

So basically: we have a model in which we've managed to allow for a single company to exist without competition because that's the most efficient way to manage national physical infrastructure, but there's enough regulations and threats floating about that it more-or-less does what its customers (the retail ISPs) want, which in turn more-or-less do what their customers (Internet users) want due to competition. That is, we've built a system in which there's enough money floating around to potentially replace Openreach if we really, really had to.

You know how in movies you need at least two people to bring their special secret keys, plug them in, and turn them at once to enable a self-destruct sequence?

That is a real principle in interface design - if something would be really, really bad to activate unintentionally, make it really, really hard to activate.

If you design a nuclear missile facility, you don't put the "launch nukes" button right next to "check email" and "open facebook".

Same way it shouldn't be easy for users to delete or corrupt their data by accident due to some omnipotent action innocently shoved right in between other trivial actions.

I wouldn't blame the person who triggered this re-imaging process. I'd blame those who designed the re-imaging interface, to allow it to happen so easily by accident.
As broadband becomes more pervasive I think we'll see other uses (for example, I could see VR being incorporated into virtual high schools for things like simulating a chemistry lab.)

How long did it take for electricity to be considered a necessity? And I'm legitimately curious how much of a factor radio was in motivating people to make the switch...
