That doesn't address the net neutrality aspect of this. Above at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7858919 we see quoted from a Verizon press release that "Verizon had a total of 5.8 million FiOS Internet and 5.0 million FiOS Video connections at the end of the [2nd] quarter [of 2013]"

Verizon doesn't want more "cord cutters" of a sort to drop their FiOS video accounts in favor of a la carte offerings from Netflix et. al. AT&T's U-verse isn't as big a thing for them, but they use vicious caps to protect it, and of course all the cable companies are by definition video service providers.

I've also never been bothered by Git's UI. I read through the official documentation several years ago, and then just used it, with occasional reference to the man pages. It's very straightforward to me, and easier to use than many other systems. For example, I feel like I have to take much more care when using SVN directly to avoid errors, rather than through git-svn.

I sometimes feel like I'm the only one; I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone.
Oberon used it by default, and it makes long, multi-statement lines much more readable. Having more statements on the screen at once allows for more readability.
I would like to say this in the nicest, most hopeful-for-your-future-potential way possible: Everybody can see through your bullshit.

I think most people aren't sure what you're being dishonest about, but they can tell that there's something up.

Real software employers will generally not hire anyone that they can smell a lot of dishonesty on, because they have to put a lot of trust in you. Besides your impact on their company through your contributions, you're usually given access to a lot of sensitive information.

I can empathize with you because I'm pretty sure you came from a poor background, and that's the only culture you're really aware of. I did too, and I would like it if it was a lot easier for poor people to make a living in tech.

Unfortunately you can't make a successful career as a bullshitter. Some people can, but that isn't your strong point. You have to understand someone's culture better than they understand it to be a good bullshitter, and you don't understand buisness culture well enough to do it.
I don't think cities have to lose taxi-related revenues for Uber to be able to do business. They will have to figure out how to address concerns about liability insurance, overcrowding, etc. But they can still do that and make money.

Why is there so much hate for .NET?
I get why people hate Microsoft and why people would "prefer" not to pay licensing fees for their applications. But do haters realize that you can run .NET on a fully free/OSS stack, in the cloud, AWS, Linux, the works? That question is not rhetorical. Do haters realize that?

I wrote an article about the good aspects of .NET, but it really only attracted other .NET developers. That's mostly my fault because my network is mostly .NET.

Here's the article I wrote. I'd be curious to hear if it helps the argument for pro-.NET (or at least not anti-.NET): http://steppingback.com/dotnet-strong-were-not-who-you-think-we-are/

I do work in .NET, Node, and most recently I started to dabble in Ruby. I'm not against any of those other languages, so I don't want to hear how awesome they are. I want to focus on why people thing .NET is inferior and anyone who uses .NET is ultimately inferior, too.

Comment below on why .NET has such a bad rap. No trolls, please. I'd like to have a real conversation about it.

We had a major deer problem.

I put in a black poly deer fence around the back yard. 8 feet high with 2 inch grid. Smaller grids trap birds, which is undesirable. Its practically invisible, and was very easy to put in (deerbusters.com). One of the neighbors didn't notice it for 6 months.

In the front yard, I've had very good luck with cow bells and fishing line. One end of the line gets attached to a fixed object, and the other to the cow bell. String the line along so that it is 2 or 3 feet above the ground, with support about every 10 to 15 feet. Set the cowbell on something like a bucket so it will drop when the line gets pulled.

The deer hit the line, but the noise is at a distance and freaks them out.

I started with a portion of the yard, disrupting their normal routes, and gradually pushed to the edges.

This spring our gardens have been absolutely amazing, and no deer damage.
And East. China openly spies on their own citizens in their "Golden Shield" project, and have been caught spying on Google Datacenters and on the US.

Russia also is spying on everyone (especially true in the Ukraine right now).

So the truth is the truth, as it always has been known. The world spies on each other, very very often.
It really depends on the bacterial flora present in the container. Bacteria are incredibly diverse, and just as one decomposer may be a methanogen [1], a different species of bacteria present may be a methanotroph [2]. So given the right bacterial "mixture," a self-sustaining CH4 cycle is not unreasonable.

Additionally, CO is a metabolite for some methanogenic bacteria, specifically in production of acetyl CoA [3].

My point is, as long as enough diversity has survived in the ecosystem, it is quite possible that not only CO2/H20/O2 are able to maintain a balance, but _most_ common molecules would be able to remain at nontoxic levels for the plant.

> There is a lot of evidence beginning to emerge on the value of fasting. This was once encoded in culture as almost every culture had some concept of fasting.

This is a cultural rift between Western Europe and everyone else. I grew up in Eastern Europe (now I live in the US), and fasting was not an extraordinary concept in that culture, by any means. But I keep noticing how controversial it is in the West.

I could probably speculate on the influence of material wealth on culture, and so on, but there's probably not much of a point here.

> I found fasting became much easier after I changed my diet to be ketogenic.

You don't need to go that far. Fasting is easy when you don't do any kind of alimentary excess in general.

I think the whole keto concept is just the pendulum swinging all the way to the other side. I guess it will settle in the middle at some point. Eat a bit of everything, nothing in excess, make sure to not miss the greens and the fruits, etc. Self-control and self-limiting are things that we all need to re-train ourselves for - and not just when it comes to food.

---

Anyway, I'm far more interested in studies regarding the effects of fasting on the brain. Traditionally, it was used in a spiritual context, by people who, for lack of a better term, were consciousness hackers. Fasting seemed to enable that process, whatever the mechanism.

I'm also very curious about the effects of fasting, if any, on neurodegenerative diseases.
A trick Tim Ferriss (4HWW) employed was to befriend very specific bloggers and targeted authors who frequently wrote about aligned subject matter. He would very causally offer to share tidbits of what he was working on, sensing it would pique their interests. Steadily he was able to build buzz and street-cred via a non-traditional route. Quite brilliant strategy actually.

You know what's funny? Before the 1940s, we didn't really have a problem with obesity, heart disease, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, PCOS, or any number of other diseases tied to diet. The groups that had problems had a diet much like we do today (high in flour and sugar, low in fat) except with less protein.

I'm not saying we can't improve on what was "known", and we can certainly understand the methods of actions. They also got a lot wrong. I'm just looking for a little humility in nutrition science.

> but any method of grouping is equally or more susceptible to this same problem

Not really. If you are looking to group people into what group they identify with (which is what this poll actually was), the only way to do it would be to ask them, individually.

> Any grouping will necessarily group together people who don't share identical beliefs.

Huh, anyone who self-identifies as "Christian" believes that category describes them better than any other. You can't go into everyone's head and determine what constitutes the totality of their religion or philosophy. It's just not possible.

> I think the most pragmatically important feature of a religious group isn't the name of the group or the name they use for their deities, but rather who they consider to be orthodox.

I think the only pragmatically important feature of a religious group is who considers themselves to be a part of it.

I don't think that's true at all, particularly with the amount of CGI they're putting into modern films. CGI changes pretty quickly, too - an effect that was good enough last year looks dated if you put it in this year's release.

I don't disagree that the valuation stretches credulity, perhaps past the breaking point. The narrative of the 'old bubble' was hyperinvestment by retail investors and mutual funds in unsustainable technology visions. The only thing 'wrong' about that old bubble, was that people who didn't know any better lost their money. Sometimes because their cousin or grandchild said they should put their savings bonds into tech stocks, sometimes because an aggressive fund manager put in more risk than they bargained for. Either way, people who didn't know better got hurt. In this hypervaluation the people at risk are investment bankers that do know better, and if they lose all their money, then fine. That was the bet they made. To use a gambling colloquialism, "Nobody cries for the roulette player that puts it all on 13 black."

I don't necessarily agree that markets "exist" to allocate capital efficiently, I would agree they exist so that capital can be allocated. When the market is fair, capital is pretty efficient allocated, but the private financing market is not fair on at least two axes, there are artificially high barriers to creating new goods (startups in this case), and information is not evenly distributed amongst all parties. That does put a crimp on the efficiency of their operation.

I'm kind of shocked by how hostile your reply is! Not even 'passionate' - it's condescending, presumptuous, and isn't especially constructive!

The only part of this post that I think really deserves a good response is

You then go on to state using these makes software more testable. Since TDD can only exist in "testable" code, TDD is good design because these measurements/guidelines/principles are good design.
It's a non-sequitur of epic proportions.

That's not really what he said. He was saying that essentially there is a sort of design isomorphism - like a mathematical dual - between code test-ability and other desirable properties like compose-ability, low coupling, re-usability, and maintainability. The argument in favor of TDD says that building code out of a TDD process that requires testing means making design decisions that have this nice property of building highly compose-able code.
Customer Complaints Are a Lousy Source of Startup Ideas
Wow, seems like everything is vulnerable recently.
Google is in a ... cultural bubble where things like D-Day just aren't important to it/it's people/infamously---this is hardly the first example---the ones who do the doodles.

That has consequences when so many of their "customers" (or as many note, we're really Google's products :-) venerate these sorts of things, and take it as disrespect. Heck, I have to wonder if they thought they were being deliciously
transgressive by featuring a Japanese Go player, although it sounds like this was corrected before it hit the US, which is 5 hours or more behind the U.K.

It's something that Bing gets right, and while Microsoft doesn't seem to be a threat, I seriously doubt it's going to help Google in the long term.
I'd actually love to see examples of companies in SV giving equity to people who are not even clued in and recognize that they need to or should be given equity. And would gladly work for a normal pay check.

Anecdotal there are stories of the early janitor getting stock (or something like that) as if they wouldn't work for just a salary.

The line that I've heard is that it's a way to get people to work for less money than they would get paid if they didn't get equity. [1] But is this really true and how often in actual practice? (Comments?). I mean in a way if it is true you are taking advantage of the naivete of "the janitor" or "admin assistant" who may not even have a clue at all the probability of that equity even being worth anything at all. Because all they know about is what they read of the big wins that everyone talks about and they think they might actually stand a good chance of hitting the jackpot. Why is this right? To me it isn't (even if you believe it yourself as a founder).

Separately with domain name deals there is always a push on the part of sellers that I have noticed to try to get some upside equity when selling what they consider to be a valuable name. In general since the seller isn't taking that much of a haircut on the price anyway it's is usually a bad idea. It's almost pure upside with nominal downside.

[1] Along the lines of your comment "Whoever heard of a restaurant's first waiter" that would be the almost equivalent of the admin assistant or maybe customer service rep. Otoh anyone can easily see a new restaurant offering equity to people who work in the kitchen. Especially the the person in the kitchen (or several) need to be lured away from another job they are at.
Ah, well then yea I'd have to agree with that number, especially based on his location.

You are using the Straw man fallacy here.
Legally, his comments were partially correct in that the LLC would own the IP prior to the transfer. But tax-wise, they were completely incorrect--a single-member LLC generally does not exist for tax purposes, and it is generally possible (even trivial) to transfer the "LLC's" assets to the C-Corp without incurring any tax liability. (A transaction occurs in this sort of situation, but generally it doesn't result in any "costs" or taxes due).
I agree that we're probably adapted, in our biology, to re-occurring intervals of food scarcity. I would not be surprised at all if it turned out that our bodies actually function better on that sort of regime (eat at will for a while, then forego all caloric intake for a brief period).

I wonder if this was noticed at the dawn of civilization, and then got codified into religion and so on.

Yep django-toolbar is great! My aim with this was, like you said, to provide the history of multiple requests, but also to provide finer-grained profiling with the decorator and context manager. Not only do they capture execution time but they also capture the queries that were executed whilst they were active. The aim was extra visibility all round really.
With even Oracle claiming "ownership" over the open source Java, who really knows these days? Especially from an extortionist/litigious company like Microsoft.
> In the vast majority of American cities, especially in smaller ones, taxis are not readily available and are just too expensive for getting across a suburban sprawl.

There is a good reason for that, it's so much easier to own a car in these and is pretty much mandatory to get anything done. Cars + Gas are still relatively cheap in comparison to paying someone to come out and drive you around anytime you need to go somewhere, which is compounded in the suburbs by the distance and time involved and the area any taxi service would need to cover.

Sure, technology ala Uber helps here, but does this really change the fundamentals in theses areas? I don't think so, you still need to pay a driver and in areas where its easy and cheap to store a car it would make much more financial sense to just drive yourself around.

Driverless cars are really the fundamental shift that might change this, but let's be real that is still a risky venture, despite all the Google hype people are drooling over. This large of an evaluation only makes sense with that in mind.

Ask HN: Help name our band
At the Rover.com standup today, we talked about starting a tech team band because, in addition to being developers, a bunch of us play instruments.

* Debugger (metal band)

* Deadlock (metal band)

* The Root Cause (indie folk)

* Ruby Gems (pop)

* Colonel Panic (psycho-pop, like David Bowie)

Any other ideas?

This was one of those brilliant little and elegant software designs that solved a particular problem perfectly, and really could not be improved in a major way. It had reached its design zenith.

I used it lots from the end of the 80s to the end of DOS in like 95-97.
I'm not convinced that this is necessarily caused by people losing attention while they write the last line due to anticipation of finishing the task. Other possible theories I can think of:

* People make mistakes in any line, but they often unconsciously review them and spot the mistake while they're writing the next line. In the case of the last line there's no such automatic review.

* (plausible in some of the examples, not all of them) The last line was added by copy–paste at a later date than all the others.
Some of them would've even been doing a pretty similar thing. To the extent that part of Uber's growth is through taking market share from competitors in the car-driving-for-money sector, they're shifting jobs between companies, not creating new ones. Some may also come from expanding the size of the whole market, but you can't just count the total number of employees and use that number as the net-jobs-created.
