Google's ToS used to, and may still have, a clause that only allows the geocode API to be used in conjunction with maps, i.e. you can't use the geocode results for whatever you want, they have to be intended for display on a Google map.

I used MapQuest's free tier awhile back which didn't have the map usage restriction but was limited to 5000 queries a day, enough for what I needed but probably no where near enough for many applications.
The ‘Made in USA’ slide (10) is nonsense. It shows a shift from non-USA OSes, Symbian and Linux to 'Made in USA' OSes, Android, iOS and Windows phone. But Android is built on Linux!

"USA controlled" may be a better way of putting it.
Ask HN: Categorizing company cultures
I am working on a personal project to help people find jobs/internships at smaller types of startups. Now part of the web app is that companies need to categorize themselves under a certain type of 'company culture' so users can get a very brief feeling of how that company operates.

These are some of the rough ideas I have so far, but I could really use some help from more people who may work at these companies.

- "Casual Friday" Everyday

- NOT SURE WHAT GOES HERE

The beagleboard been around for sometime, except it used to run you around $200. You could trivially put a linux distro on a beagleboard before the Pi even existed. Heck, the Beagleboard Black comes with Debian installed and goes for $55 now. Not too bad.

The reality is that the Pi just delivered a very low cost and now they sit in drawers and landfills because Joe Hacker got over the "shiny shiny" aspect of owning it pretty quickly. The same way he has a Wii and a Rock Band set in the basement in a box labeled, "Stuff."

I suspect that the slighter higher cost of entry means that things like the beagleboards are in use doing something interesting while most Pis are either junked or running blinkinglights.sh and will never be touched again.
wow that is cool. last time I tried it I had a hard time struggling with HAProxy and trying to fix the sticky session thing.

Would be great to see some benchmark of how this can scale especially with the new redis integration.
The customer shouldn't view paying for the service in advance as an "interest free loan", they should view it as "purchasing the service", up front like most other things they buy. It's one thing to acknowledge that most customers prefer to starting with a smaller amount, but if they're perceving the annual price as a "loan" to help you develop the product then you have an image problem

It's not provably possible yet - the average human is quite capable of not killing themselves or others in any number of hazardous and random driving conditions which autonomous cars can't even manage.

I should probably mention since I typically bleed karma in these threads, that i'm not at all against autonomous vehicles in principle. I can see a lot of ways in which they could make driving safer, and transportation costs cheaper, and do a lot of good.

What I am against is the premise that people are so dangerous and terrible at something they've been, mostly, able to do safely for about a century that their freedoms need to be taken away. Autonomous cars are fine - trying to take for granted that personal freedom is dangerous and stupid and that people need to be controlled like herd animals is not necessarily a good thing. Where is this absolute certainty and conviction that I see in these threads coming from? Certainly not from having observed several million autonomous vehicles on the roads.

Sure, subsidizing public higher education is a matter of debate. So: in my opinion, we should entirely subsidize higher education.

I don't think that anyone should disagree with the statement that everyone would benefit from going to college. Do not mistake my intention, I am 100% pro-higher education. I wish everyone wanted to go to college, and I wish everyone wanted to learn and expand their world-view and to experience the new and wonderful things that college can expose you to. But, the problem is that the majority of people are simply too afraid to learn new things, too worried that they might find out that they were wrong about something, or that their parents were wrong about something. And then you have kids coming to college who think that simply because they spent the money they should be handed a degree and a job. So, what I'm saying, is that there are a great many people, and unfortunately a lot of them are policy makers, who have unrealistic demands of public education. These people think that there should be a hard ratio of dollars spent vs. dollars earned by graduates. And that's unrealistic. These are often the people who talk about the uselessness of any track other than STEM disciplines.

In the past, the DSLRs sensors were quite sensitive to long exposures. As I remember it, during long exposures the sensor could get so hot that it could actually burn the color filter - so the color accuracy decreased over time. This was why you could not use live-view on a DSLR camera when all the P&S cameras could do it. The new sensors use less current, so they don't get that hot during a long (live view, movie mode) exposure.

The DSLRs still have a few advantages over low-end mirrorless cameras: faster reaction time, faster focusing time (usually because they use phase-detection and not contrast-detection focus sensors), better ergonomics. But they are bulky and have more things that can break (the mirror box is quite complex). We will probably continue to see DSLRs in the professional usage, but a mirrorless camera looks better for the consumer market.
In case it was an honest mistake, I was referring to "So go troll on some subject you know". Your way of parsing my reference as referring to your second sentence is extremely bizarre, though possible if you were hasty.

If every variable is a reference to an object, that would be a different abstraction from Perl. "The modern language" refers to my hypothetical language which has nothing to do with Perl.

My entire post refers to something hypothetical, which is why you state that it was written about 'something else'.

We are not arguing, and I'm not making any claims about Perl.

I am talking about a hypothetical language in which writing any normal Perl fails with a syntax error.
You need mandatory ACKs in both directions if you want to implement a reliable stream over HTTP requests. Otherwise, data can get lost in several scenarios, including: server responds to a long-poll request, connection breaks before client receives it, server assumes the data arrived, user never sees the message. Instead of having an ACK for every message in both C2S and S2C directions, socket.io implements some kind of bizarre optional-per-message ACK functionality that you manage with callbacks. There are libraries/protocols that do this right, including Closure Library's BrowserChannel.

That could be a lot of research. Given the nature of the books I tend to buy (usually no single item over $15-20, but in bulk orders up to $400 sometimes), I have little incentive to spend much time researching for "good deals" across multiple sites, possibly making multiple orders instead of a single order.

I'm sure if I spent an hour or two finding the lowest price on 20-30 items I could save a bit of money on the order(s), but I don't think it's really worth my time for my default use case.

Now, if I were looking at items like text books or reference books, I would likely do the research. Such materials are often sold at huge variation in price across retailers ...
Since there is one init function, any changes to the SDK will cascade outwards automatically.

I think that you are trying to make some sort of theoretical point about theoretical issues with the SDK. Do you program on iOS devices?

There is a reason why they do not want users to use this on an iPhone. It is the same reason why they do not want users to use a numeric-only keyboard on the iPad. It is because it does not look nice. Launching a popover from the bottom half of an iPhone doesn't look quite right. That is all. There are no API problems. A popover is just a view that appears in dynamic locations on the device. When programming something like that in objective-c, you use CGRect to provide an x, y, width, and height. I don't know why people keep trying to argue these theoretical points without understanding the simplicity of the control.
Very well might be. Depends what you can get for it.
I don't get the title, but I'm glad the author is trying to understand the criticism. "Aren't those dockers?" means you have to compete, and convince people your brand is better. some people think their idea is new and innovative when it might not be.
"Better have 59 more ideas" is more of an attempt at humor, but he is also right. Starting a new business isn't easy.
"why would anyone buy that?" I think history has proven that people would buy wrinkle free clothes.
The only piece of advice I can offer, is build your brand. Having quality clothes will help build it, but in the end the only real thing that is going to differentiate you and, well say docker, is your brand.

So, lemme ask you a question. When you see a statement that something is true MOST of the time, what exactly possesses you to think that citing ONE EXAMPLE is a rebuttal?

And again, books are absolutely not commodities. Nobody is saying there's no difference between the preference for Harry Potter versus Percy Jackson or what have you. But Percy Jackson is certainly a close substitute for Harry Potter, so if the price difference between them is great enough, some readers will choose to read Percy Jackson instead of Harry Potter, and the number of readers for which this is true grows as the price difference does. This is also true if the supply of Harry Potter books is restricted. (This is the principle that makes small airport bookstores work, incidentally -- given the constrained supply of books available for purchase, airport book stores stock the most popular titles they can and figure that people will substitute their most preferred book that's available for the book they would purchase if the store carried a larger selection. And often enough, they do.)

And this is true for most goods. Android phones and iPhones are close substitutes for each other -- if you want one, that's the one you want, but if the price difference gets high enough, you'll go to the close substitute, and people vary in their level of price sensitivity. If the price of corn tortillas gets high enough, you'll start eating flour tortillas. And so on and so forth. This is pretty basic economics here.
That's funny, because I would call Goosebumps typical 7-10 year old material.

It really depends on what you want to get out of chat
$2 is a good price to pay if your team chatting needs are minimal. But as your organization grows, especially if it starts to involve a larger team and projects with larger scope and interdependent pieces, your chat needs evolve into more of a communications need. In such cases it may be worth it to look into a more comprehensive chat tool since it gives you a much more powerful communications platform than your AIM or even email.

If a significant chunk of your company's discussion is taking place in chat rooms, it may be time to look into an upgrade.

You'd want something that gives you some standard next-gen functions: great global chat history search,video conferencing, screen sharing, markdown support, distributed team presence tracker, advanced noise management tools, dedicated integration efforts (integration to basic collaboration tools like asana, trello, etc should take minimal effort)

Keep in mind Slack is hardly the only other alternative in this game. Zapier gave a really good overview the other day, including Kato, who (full disclosure) I work for. https://zapier.com/blog/best-team-chat-app/

also @shalmanese makes a good point about justifying the cost.
No, not really. Even Hanselman does not say he's well versed. It's a general understanding. I wouldn't expect a full stack developer to be able to whip out a GUI app using nothing but assembly during an interview, but I would expect them to understand that missed branch predictions thrash the instruction cache, what object files are and how a linker works, what a normalized database schema looks like, basic ipv4 networking etc. These are all wide swathes of knowledge. If someone claims they are 'full stack', what stack are they talking about? Serving web pages? If that's all it is, wouldn't 'web developer' suffice?

"The full stack developer brings the SaaS cloud to you with webscale!"

It even sounds like marketing garbage.

Which is too bad, really, I have a feeling there is an important issue there that I should see.
Credit card companies are heavily regulated. There may be limits to whether they can do with their point-of-sale data.

More critically, their data may have limited power for predicting businesses' creditworthiness. MasterCard can only see MasterCard transactions. This is fine for evaluating the cardholder, particularly if MasterCard is at the top of their wallet. But it produces a conditional view if one wants to estimate a merchant's cash flows. Square, on the other hand, sees a broader swath of a business's transactions. This might give it a small statistical edge in certain cases.
I would not associate the interface with the functionality. Even without a keyboard, a smartphone with a touchscreen allows one to use a virtual keyboard to type in a similar fashion to an actual keyboard with some definite compromises. With cars when the manual controls are removed, we have a chance to have even more robust functionality with opportunities to map a whole new set of controls to a fallback interface.
This. I have been using C# with Unity3d a lot and love it and i would love to try Xamarin with a sideproject, but $1000 per year/seat (yes i want VS integration) is just too much.

Making this more affordable would do wonders for C#s popularity in the mobile space and possibly trickle down to a lot of other usecases.
