Yes. In the short term markets are a voting machine. In the long term it's a weighing machine. That's to your point about arbitraging back to fair value.

I'm not really sure how related this is, but T-Mobile is also having an Uncarrier announcement on the 18th: http://www.cnet.com/news/t-mobile-to-usher-in-uncarrier-5-0-.... I don't think an Amazon phone announcement would be the primary focus of such a "special" (according to T-Mobile) announcement, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a connection - perhaps they are the launch partner for this hypothetical phone?
I like that I don't have to create an account for sharing files. There are times I don't want to clutter my dropbox but I want to send a file to a bunch of friends. I could see this being useful for that.

How can you say it's a Western thing when places like Singapore have fines for not flushing the toilet?
No, doing it in hardware makes more sense. If you expect overflows you disable overflow checks in the hardware and everything is as before. If you don't expect overflows you enable overflow checks in the hardware and if you have a bug you get the exception. If you do it in software you have to execute additional instruction every time but they will do nothing useful if your program is correct.
I was leaving daycare a few weeks ago and saw someone do the same. She left one kid in the car while she went inside to pick up the other one, in Texas. At least it was in front of a daycare center during pickup time, where people would likely notice. Still, a number of things can delay you inside or in the worst case, if you have a freak accident then it could easily be the end of the kid too.
Of course it belongs here!

In a sensible world she would have been able to call out to some car-park lurker "hey I'm just going to grab something from the store, can you just wave at my kid through this window"; or she could just run in and grab something and people seeing her run in and then out would not call the police; or etc etc.

Society has decided that men wanting to work with children are creepy (try finding pre-schools with male workers and early years schools with male teachers), and this extends to the damaging concept of "stranger danger" where someone waiting by the car to check the child is safe is not going to be seen as a welcome bit of support for a busy harassed mother but will be seen as a creepy threat.

It's all part of the same weird system of protecting children without regard to what actual risk is.
The USA seems to have the most incredibly lousy "justice" system. Laws are made by lobbyists and enforcement of those laws, sometimes involving judgments of billions of dollars seem to rest on some good ol' boys in some dingy Texas courtroom.

Surely it can't be as bad as it seems to this outsider - can anyone point to a good guide on how this all works?

> I got out of the car one day to feed the parking meter next to the driver side window. “Don’t, Mommy. Don’t. The police will come.” I went to let the dog into our front yard while he was watching his morning cartoon. “Mommy, no!!! The police.”

Sigh..... It's such a tragic, fucked up thing that our society could do this to a child and his mother. We all really need to think more about the consequences of our actions. The bystander who called in should have done more than just call the police. The mother should have brought the kid in. The cop(s) shouldn't have let it get to court. The courts shouldn't be able to split apart families for a single, momentary, stupid, virtually riskless act. And the media needs to not villify and capitalize on the fear and hate of people who judge situations like this without context.
Both, I guess ;)

But it is easier to switch to Heroku for the IBM customer than to become Heroku for IBM. I wouldn't bet on IBM.
The photo in question was taken from a series of photos of event attendees that were posted on our Facebook page in March.

This seems pretty reasonable of Techweek. They used actual attendees, so they're not oversexualizing the event like that time they posted women in bikinis to Instagram. I'm glad they took people's complaints seriously and removed the image, so I don't see a lot to complain about.
At this point, it's almost certain that the PERCEIVED benefits outweigh the PERCEIVED costs, considering that non-profits still send tons of mail.

There is little doubt that there are benefits to their current model.	tvanantwerp covered some of those benefits.

But there are costs and benefits that don't appear to be included in their current calculations. If anybody doubted the difference that lots of little contributions can make need only look at successful crowd-sourcing systems and campaigns.

I believe that most non-profits have been told to go after the big fish donators and if they have to destroy all the little fish in the process, "oh, well". My point, and based on the other comments, I'm not alone, is that the little fishes' contributions may add up and be worth more than the big fishes with a lower overall cost (because it costs to produce and distribute those tons of mail).
Fortunately the car the registered with grandparents -- unfortunately, they talked.
Glad to hear it simplified things for you :)
Putting children in the seatless back hatch of a Corvette was probably not a great parenting call either.

Not everything that used to be S.O.P. for parents was good judgement. Not every safety concern we've developed over the last 20 years is wrong. Some of them are very valid.
"$50K a week" --> "$50K a year"
Division is a lot more expensive than the multiplication itself, checking the overflow flag after the multiplication - which OP critizes for being too slow - is going to be much faster than your check.
enron looked pretty good too.
Yeah they're still making tons of money but consider that they haven't grown revenue in years, all their best talent is leaving in droves, they're selling off everything that isn't bolted down, and they're betting the future on cloud and Watson. They're late to the party for cloud (and in typical IBM fashion, overpriced) and Watson ain't all it's cracked up to be. They have massive problems going forward.

You're assuming that whoever sees the dog has the time to sit and wait and observe. What if they were to assume that you were making a quick stop but you actually weren't, didn't notify anyone, and your dog dies.

Would you regret not being notified?
What, exactly, are the risks to a child in a locked car on a cool day for five minutes?
It likely does eye tracking which creates a very stunning 3d effect. Sounds awesome.

> If she doesn't like it, she can go back to actually working for a living, like the rest of us.

The rest of us turn up for 8 hours on a good day, turn in shitty code on our horrifically-factored, monolithic Rails app that some other poor shlub will have to maintain, break off at 2pm on a Friday for craft beer and convince ourselves we're changing the goddamn world with our latest social widget.

"Working for a living, like the rest of us"? Don't make me laugh.

The most half-assed Ruby dev, and oh my goodness there's some competition for that title, would easily be earning an integer multiple of what Ashe gets on gittip. You quite clearly know absolutely zilch about how much work Ashe does, and you so very obviously have no idea whatsoever how to value it, so how about you quieten down and go take a look at yourself, eh?
She wasn't "grappling", she was retelling what was probably the most emotionally trying experience of her entire life. Cut her some slack maybe?
And in this case, where not available as well.
I think like this, always able to consider the worst case scenario. So, whilst I've left my kid(s) in the car on occassions I've never left them without leaving the window open a bit ... of course that makes it easier to open the door and kidnap them ...
Thank you, that was quite cogently expressed.

I can't help but wonder if "voting with your dollars" is another one of those things which has been drilled into the citizenry with - as you put it - "...that money gets used to convince the non-elites that their own interests will be served by the same candidates who are receiving the money from the elites." Its an "arms race" that the "common people" CANNOT win. But getting them bogged down in it makes for a very calm populace of consumers - they have the power of the dollar, after all.

Thats the fundamental way to steal a democracy, isn't it? Convince the voters that money is matters more, and is a more effective way for governance decision-making. Heck, even get the Supreme Court to declare that money is protected political speech!^1 Thats seems to be the foundation from where the democratic rot builds itself.

1) When I first came across that in US news, I actually thought it was some kind of Onion-esqe satire.
The monicker "buying IBM never got anyone fired" is unfortunately still strong

Or, better, there are still a lot of, ahem, uninformed people that will overpay for their crappy service/software.

Agreed. Product Hunt and HN share a lot in common (and in part, HN inspired PH) but they're not competitive.

They have different audiences and longer term they will look much different from one another.
Relevant German case law assumes that children are NOT under constant, uninterrupted supervision. Children being able to do things at least somewhat independently is considered important for developing self-reliance [1] and can override the parents' legal duty to supervise them; barring unusual circumstances, watching your child constantly is considered undesirable for the child's development. For example, it is considered more important for six year olds to walk to school on their own than for parents to provide supervision during that time (barring exceptional circumstances, such as a disability).

Checking on your four-year old son every 15-30 minutes is generally sufficient (modulo the circumstances and the child's maturity).

[1] Which is not to say that helicopter parenting isn't on the rise in Germany, too. The difference is that the police and teachers ask that parents NOT drive their children to school or pick them up afterwards, and some parents do it anyway.
IMHO he made some valid points, all from reading the spec. Experimenting with the language wouldn't really invalidate them.
Given that the same company that's "ditching OpenGL" according to that article is the one now throwing their weight behind WebGL, I think it's safe to say that the article in question is overblown. Apple isn't ditching OpenGL. In fact, OpenGL remains the only 3D acceleration API available on Macs. Apple just added another API with lower overhead to certain devices.

With a four year old, the prospect that they might get out of the car is one of the bigger worries you should have. A four year old walking alone through a parking lot is incredibly dangerous.
I really want to like this because the design and functionality of is very cool. Like others I tried to start typing on the card so there is definitely an element of confusion that isn't there with a normal form. The last place I want to risk any confusion is the stage at which the customer is trying to pay me! A variation of this where you could type on the card might be interesting.
The Supreme Court's job is less about correcting bad laws than striking down unconstitutional laws. Many terrible laws can be totally constitutional. The best way to fix a bad law is to replace it with a better law.
My thoughts immediately go to "that they will get hit by a car when they figure out how to get out".
Well, of course untrusted code dealing with CC info is insecure. That's why this is open source, and you host it yourself. It's just a library. Whose source you can see. Whose source you can compile. With a third-party compiler.

You'd say you'd trust it if it was from Google - in this case, if you use it, it's coming from you, on your server, under your control. I'd trust this far more than a Google-hosted closed-source library - not because I wouldn't trust a Google payment endpoint, but because this is totally under my control, and something from Google isn't.

Not sure what you're talking about with the encoded image. Doesn't make much sense.

There are no real security problems with this whatsoever. The problem is, unsavvy users may think there is, due to the visual resemblance of the onscreen card.
They've also employed a lot more "financial engineering" to make that happen too.

Bloomberg Businessweek had a feature article two weeks ago and one thing it highlighted was that the use of "non-gaap" in IBM's earning release increased 10 fold or something
Even the link you cited claims that 15 minutes can be enough time under surprisingly temperate conditions. I've easily spent that amount of time waiting through lines on something that should have been a quick run to the store.
This is true. The bank told me that _any_ debit card, if you report fraud within 2 business days, should have zero liability. I have never found a reference for that information.

Someone spent $2,000 at Comcast and Neiman Marcus on my card in one night. I reported it the following day and it was reversed and I was given a new card the same day.

I would love more information from a banker on how the fraud disputes are won. Sometimes the merchant pays, sometimes the bank pays, sometimes it split in percentages. I know it has to do with how the merchant processed the payment or if a pin number was used for the transaction.
Reasons not to .. and reasons to to exactly that.

The decision is not yours, not ours. It's the parent's. Like everything else about the daily life of the kid. That argument contains no value. Of course there are reasons that one might not do that. Loop/Recur to line 1.
She wrote an article that is in large part a defense of leaving toddlers alone in parked cars. That was her choice. It is reasonable to criticize an article on its own terms.
Many folks in the tech community lament, on one hand, that the U.S. legal system lacks people, particularly judges, with technical backgrounds, yet at the same time are intensely unhappy with the decisions of the Federal Circuit, which has a substantial number of judges with degrees in science and engineering. The only way I can reconcile these sentiments in my head is that when people say "judges don't understand technology" what they mean is "judges don't see technology the way I see technology."
Perhaps we should flag down the cops for people who take their kids into the store instead:

...often diverges wildly from fact

What is it called when somebody writes a book titled "The Decline and Fall of [company still around]"
I highly doubt it can release that much energy at once, it's a catalytic reaction that removes the oxide from the aluminum.
"Because the car would still rely on its regular rechargable lithium-ion battery most of the time and would switch to the aluminum-air battery as a backup only if the lithium-ion battery ran out, and because most car trips are 50 kilometres or less, Alcoa estimates the aluminum-air batteries would only need to be changed about once a year."

This is a chemical battery with very limited lifespan. Additionally without any details on recycling of used batteries "green" qualities of this battery are suspect.
The reaction used by is not reversible, so the alumimium in the battery will be consumed, and the battery is not rechargeable. This is only said implicitly in the article. Thus this is more a fuel cell, using aluminium as fuel.
I find it interesting that a break appears in 1993 where the Extremely Huge (lineman) separate from those merely Very Large.

These are all articles that are making my point for me. Leaving a four year old alone in a parked car in a parking lot is leaving a four year old alone in a parking lot.
‘Project Smith’ 3D eye-tracking phone with motion-sensing UI a la Kinect.

The screen itself is not 3D, but the front of the phone has 4 cameras
placed on each corner of the phone, this is to track the user's
eyes/head and move the UI to give the impression of 3D. Similar to
what iOS 7 is achieving simply by using the phone's accelerometer.
The advantage being that it's not based on how the phone moves, but
how the head moves.

Hi, JTon!

Thanks for the feedback. The site is not intended to be used for sharing large binaries. It's purpose is for quickly sharing "incidental" type of files or transferring files quickly from device to device. For example, moving a photo from your phone to a friend's laptop or tablet. It's not intended to serve up large files like Mega.

As for rewarding users with larger limits for connecting with social media, all we gather is the most basic information to provide some accountability. That is to say, someone is less likely to upload pirated content, for example, without a layer of anonymity.

Nevertheless, if circumstances warrant it, we're always open to suggestions.

Thanks again for the feedback!
I'm noting an acceleration in recent years and believing in the possibility of further acceleration going forward. Part of that being newer languages being more willing to undergo breaking changes sooner in their evolution than older ones were. Thus, I agree that Python might stay at a big change every ten years (which would still be faster than historical language evolution!) while still believing that swift or go might go for faster than that.

It's also worth noting that Swift isn't even at 1.0 yet, and they've said there will be changes before release. So I also disagree with a somewhat hysterical "we'll be stuck with this!!11!!" right now.

It's all just guesses, though. We'll see.
That'd require the OS to define that as part of the ABI.

Also, you almost certainly don't want to just go back an instruction; you want to catch and handle the overflow.
Are you being serious with that comment? I can't see how it's a joke. I strongly suspect you'll end up being downvoted into transparency, but in case not, where is the 'pattern'? Where, in fact, is even another example of negligence (conceding that some people may consider leaving the child in the car negligent, which I don't.)

EDIT: Ah, it happened while I was replying, probably for the best.
From the very first article:

"Sgt. Steve Martos said the child's mother was loading her purchases into her car when Jose darted between vehicles and into the driving lane. The driver did not see the child and ran him over."

If she had left the child in the car, this wouldn't have happened.

The point isn't that you should always leave your child in the car - the point is that our assessment of risk is terrible, and the risk of leaving a child in a car on a mild weather day has not been proven to be more risky than taking them into the store.
How much would it add to the cost of a car to put in a little solar panel and a fan or two that would bring in cooler air into the cabin on hot days? It would help avoid situations like these (or at least increase chances of survival) and keep the interior from being a scorching simulation of the surface of the sun. I think some models had this in the 90s, but it never caught on. Supposedly, if memory serves from an old issue of Motor Trend, just a couple small fans could drop the temperature almost 20 degrees on really hot days. So a 100 degree interior would be 80, which could mean the difference between life and death.
But can the spent fuel cell be processed and used for something else? Perhaps not related to a car at all.
For the record, even today with our safety obsessed culture? Car accidents are still the leading preventable cause of death in children (non-preventable things like birth-defects and complications from childbirth itself are the only things that rank higher).

Cars are what kills kids, even now in our hyper-safe society. So it's worth re-examining that stuff.

Which means the thing with the Corvette? Probably wasn't a good idea in hindsight.

But yeah, the total lack of independence in today's kids is a different story. There is no epidemic of kiddy diddlers, of kids wandering off and getting lost and somehow dying. So the obsessive "have your kids with you at all times" thing is probably a modern over-reaction.

But the stuff about cars? Yeah, respect and fear traffic.

He's not really "guessing" the card type, there's a pretty standard algorithm called the Luhn Algorithm that all credit card companies use when issuing their cards.

The algorithm is public domain and all it does is tell you who issued the card which doesn't seem like an issue to me
The article states that the car had child locks, which were used, so the doors could only be opened from the outside. Furthermore, the kid specifically wanted to go on the trip in the first place so he could sit in the car and play with the iPad, which he was happily doing.

It's not impossible that in the space of five minutes the kid could get bored of the iPad, unbuckle the car seat, and figure out how to disable the child locks from inside the car. It's just very, very unlikely. If that's what had happened there would be a case for getting the police involved, but it didn't happen. If we're going start prosecuting people for every crime they could hypothetically commit at any given point, every single person would be in jail.
If you had put the kid in the trunk, nobody would of ever called.
