Vimeo, for me, is for saying "Vimeo can't play on your setup" because it doesn't recognise the user agent or somesuch, so doesn't even try.

I once heard the two characterised as "youtube will always start to play, but the quality can stutter, whereas Vimeo is smooth as butter... if you can actually get it started in the first place". Even on machines for which Vimeo doesn't exhibit my problem, it doesn't always start for some reason...

"...social deprivation and alienation."

I think this part is important, though. The poor in our society are alienated and often cut-off from the larger society and culture. If unemployment was a socially accepted norm I do not think you would see this, I think you would see more people acting like "natural aristocrats".

On the other hand, I don't necessarily disagree with you entirely. Maybe people do need to work, it is possible. In that case, my solution would be to find the absolute minimum that people "need" to work in order to remain socially-balanced and force them to work that much, preferably doing something that contributes to the general welfare.
Dude, at least hang out on your own website the night you post it. I'm making wubs on my own because I'm an electronic musician, but it's not very rewarding with nobody else around.
It is not sufficient to just be able to carry missiles in the air. Missiles only work in conjunction with the right sensor and radar systems to designate and guide it to the target.

So yes, you do need both the plane (with onboard sensor/radar) and missiles in order to hope for a kill.

No wonder Google lets many services languish. With a system of promotion based on launches of new products/services/features there is no personal incentive to make things work long term. It seems like the person who redesigns the gmail categories for the nth time would get a promotion, but someone who followed up on bug reports, maintenance and stability patches years later wouldn't.

Support is just as important as innovation. There's no point in having great ideas if they aren't maintained. Google doesn't seem to get this...
Honestly, they should've bid a couple more billions for Snapchat. And what a mess! I have one username on Facebook, another on Instagram, third on Slingshot - with the same company. That's why Twitter is my identity. Google+ is a mess, too. Twitter is identity and people protect and advertise their identity. All these others are recyclables. Tomorrow this can shut down and nobody will care. I'm surprised Facebook hasn't learned this. You can't even mention a username - it often finds the wrong people in the mentions, not even people who are friends. With Twitter, identity is solid. Anyway, maybe I'm pissed off as I missed to capture my username, but this doesn't mean I'm wrong. :)

THIS!

Let's build it!
I didn't, and to be honest, after going through 10+ years of interviews and articles to find the growth nuggets, I wasn't exactly looking for them.

One thing, that I mentioned in the follow up comment, is that much of the early growth was built by Josh Elman, Reid, Keith Rabois, and then later Adam Nash and Elliot Shmukler. All of those people are now gone.

As LinkedIn looks to continue its growth, it will be interesting to see how the company responds to a massive talent turnover on the growth team, and whether they can 1) keep it going, and 2) balance growth with user experience and value so that it doesn't continue to alienate users.
It's not a logical fallacy, but the F117A is a poor argument for stealth.

Military weapon systems are a war unto themselves: each side learning about the other's and creating new systems to remove those advantages. Basically, once the F117A became common knowledge, it was only a matter of years before modern radar systems were developed that mitigated that advantage.

I have little doubt that Russia put a lot of effort into making the S400 effective against stealth aircraft. Having a low radar profile still helps, but we won't see the advantage the F117A had over Baghdad.
I once thanked someone for submitting something interesting after their article had been up for a few hours and nobody commented. Someone downvoted me and took the time to condescendingly explain why my comment was worthless. I really don't understand that attitude. :|

A model of clear writing:

In a superconductor, as in any electronic device, current is carried via the charge on an electron. What is different about superconductors is that the electrons travel in tightly bound pairs. When travelling on their own, electrons tend to bump into each other, resulting in a loss of energy. But when paired up, the electrons move smoothly through a superconductor's structure, which is why superconductors can carry current with no resistance. As long as the temperature is kept sufficiently low, the electron pairs will keep moving through the superconductor indefinitely.

I'd say FTL and Super Hexagon are good examples of punishing modern games. I think this sort of difficulty curve is coming back into fashion with gamers.
Ask HN: How the copyright works on America?
Argentinian here. I'll soon going to travel to Miami for a few months and I have a few questions. Here, in my country, copyright is quite looseness. You can watch movies on Internet (on sites like Cuevana and over torrent streaming apps) and there's no "persecution" to those who do it —there have been some, but high cases when the guy is a known pirate or so— and I'm worried because I want to travel with my collection of TV series and movies on HDDs and watch some of them while I stay on Miami. If I don't have one, is it possible that I could watch it over streaming sites/apps like Popcorn Time and not being pursued by authorities?

I've heard/read from several places that there's kind of a law that allows you to watch only if you don't profit with the shows/movies. Is that right?

Others told me that a good option could be to have a VPN so my traffic gets protected while I'm downloading.

I've been writing an entirely automated anime sorting and processing system that runs off of a "on torrent completed handler" and sorts it into a folder. It uses the hash lookup feature to get information about the file. That's about half of my AniDB usage.

The other half is discovering who has subbed what group. By maintaining a list of all the files a particular subber has released it's easy to lookup and easily determine who to get a release from without having to look everywhere.

Unfortunately, as awful as the API and interface is. It's the only one of its kind.

Those numbers seem very strange to me. My main system is an oldish laptop running Linux, and its primary partition is a 200 GB ext4 one, which was originally created over 5 years ago. Its lifetime writes (tune2fs -l) shows 2.4 TB, which includes /home. How would you manage 1.5 TB written for just system and apps over 1 year?

Delimiter’s journey is coming to a natural end
The article highlights repeatedly that it's a demonstration project and only a few of these were built so raw CPU performance was likely traded off for things like size, power consumption or branding.

On the non-technical level of branding it's evoking a sense of "new" rather than "commodity" by basking in the glow of the PR dollars someone else, Intel, has spent promoting NUC.

Size is highly relevant to something you are taking to a customer, it was literally built to fit in a flight case for taking on a plane. The µATX you mention is sized 24cm² through to 17cm², whereas everything I can find for Intel NUC has it at 10cm² (so smaller than Mini-ITX's 17cm² and even Nano-ITX's 12cm²). Power consumption is also an issue versus your workstation, they might have had cooling issues inside a different box. Airport baggage handlers versus the heavier heatsinks on the CPUs of an µATX solution could also be a factor. If they put fewer larger boards in there it would constrain the possible demonstrations and take away from the sense of "cloud" rather than "rack".

If you look at Shuttleworth's demo[1] it's fast enough to demonstrate a number of configurations in a 30 minute window.

Knights of the Old Republic was fantastic in terms of party management screens. The inventory screen was rough, so some way to collapse into item categories would have been appreciated.

Skyrim isn't bad, I still don't quite like the weapons screens though. Something about them all being in a list bothers me. In a way I see why they did that, but I'm so used to going to a screen similar to KOTOR or dragon-age that doing it the KOTOR or DAO way just feels more natural.

I'm a console gamer so in my opinion the biggest problem is having controls mapped for your character, and also having to do in-game hud menu navigation, AND having some way to command party-members, though voice control can resolve some of the command pain.
I just plain love NASA.
I didn't play the original, but I like quite a lot AvsH (I reviewed it for an iOS reviews site, and keep im touch via twitter with the developer)
It's a valid point. The entire early growth team is gone and onto other ventures. It's probably very likely that the new growth team is facing increasing pressure to continue to grow, which can lead to overly aggressive tactics.

I also think the product is in the middle of a massive pivot from referral network to network+content destination and that transition isn't quite done yet. It will be interesting to see what the next few years hold for them.

I disagreed with his point. Your assertion is sensible but tangential to the discussion.

While it's true it's not nice to call specific people meat heads, it's perfectly reasonable to have "meat head free" messaging. Similarly, I would be very careful about calling a particular advertiser a huckster but would have few qualms with a site's messaging including a "huckster free zone".
Speaking from experience, I see everyone from the team leader to the interns tackling bugs on my team at Google. Furthermore, the engineer with the highest level on my team has done a tremendous amount of refactoring and maintenance work over the course of the past year. Clearly this is just anecdotal, but from what I've seen an engineer who took the initiative to improve performance/stability or significantly refactor old code would have just as good a chance of promotion as an engineer churning out new features.

I don't know why you are referring to the Star Wars program since it was not a program that was ever fielded.

Anyway, so is your strategy to fire multiple missiles at a time for each target? Assuming it's possible for UAVs to engage air targets (which they cannot right now), how many are you going to shoot off for each target, at the cost of $0.5M for each missile, just because you developed an algorithm in a 'hackish' manner?

If you gave each pilot 10 drones to control, good luck trying to execute evasive maneuvers on all of them when they come under attack.
I'm Kenji Baheux on the Chrome team and have been overseeing this feature with our UX team.

Please accept my apologies for the trouble. We've been listening and are making the following changes:

1. we won't show the infobubble and rely on the omnibox icon if the focus is on an editable field. https://crbug.com/313100 (fixed in M36)

2. the infobubble will stop stealing the focus: you will be able to type, perform shortcuts, scroll the page and so on. https://crbug.com/378643

3. we are experimenting with the idea of never showing the infobubble again and solely rely on the omnibox icon as soon as we observe more than X negative actions within a given timeframe T (starting with X=2; T=24h) https://crbug.com/379035

4. A few other adjustments around the "translated" infobubble (e.g. will not be shown for automatic translation, will not show up if the "translating" infobubble has been dismissed). https://crbug.com/319628

I'm eager to hear additional feedback and would appreciate if you could play with the feature in Canary as we land the different changes.

I'll take a look at each comments and reply with specific answers where relevant.

A cult is usually about a single charismatic leader. Religions don't really have this - Catholicism has the pope, I guess, but he's not the glory boy of the religion.
This is why the supposed meritocracy, promotions, and market economy of effort is a sham at corporations. In the real marketplace, support makes income happen. If a person is the owner of the company and does the necessary support, they reap the profits. But employees are not owners and corporations are not fair. The idealized marketplace is where everyone is their own corporation and the real marketplace determines exactly how rewards are allocated. In the real marketplace seemingly dumb ideas and banal work are both rewarded greatly if they have true value. In the corporate environment that will get you stuck in a career-ending dead-end job.

Anybody with knowledge and evidence to answer a couple of questions from a very non-expert that were raised in my mind after reading the pdf and then the comments here?

1) It is the statement in the paper true that CO2 loses it's warming effect as concentration goes up?

2) Although I'm fuzzy on the warming, I'm pretty convinced we are killing our oceans. Still a little fuzzy on the exact mechanism though. If the oceans are acidifying from atmospheric CO2 (as opposed to fertilizer runoff or some such) is there evidence of this problem earlier in our planet's history when CO2 levels were much higher?

These are sincere questions hoping for informed answers.

I don't think CAS stuff is well suited for drones (at least not the current stuff). You want lots of ordnance and you want the forward observer on the ground to not have to talk to someone possibly 100's of miles away right?

Also, I don't know that I buy that the drone pilot has the same local/situational awareness that a pilot sitting in an A-10/Apache does.
I think the news is that it was sent to Arrington of all people. Plus the "Go TechCrunch" bit.
How does it differ from Soviet full employment?

Also the discussion isn't about a comparison with how the US is now. It's about how to deal with a future where much less work is needed.

Suggesting that when humanity finally conquers scarcity, we should institute a mandatory full employment program where people must do unnecessary make-work jobs or face starvation in the streets is a totalitarian nightmare of the most inhumane order.
I was watching a TV dramatization about the Steven Stayner kidnap case [1], and at one point the sheriff said something about dredging "the Bear Creek" to search for a body.

I lived in that town from age 7 or 8 until I left for college (and was living there when Stayner disappeared), including a few years living near Bear Creek, and do not recall ever hearing anyone call it "the Bear Creek". It was just "Bear Creek". It immediately flagged the screenplay for me as having been written by someone not from there [2].

I thought this was kind of neat, because as far as I can tell there is no rule that determines what places get a "the" and which do not. It just seems to be arbitrary, and so someone just grabbing the name off a map has no way to know whether or not the locals put a "the" in front or not.

I bet there are lots of little linguistic traps like this waiting to trip up people trying to pretend to be from somewhere they are not.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steven_Stayner

[2] It's possible, of course, that people from different parts of town referred to that creek differently.
Since you're interested in "anyone reading this thread" and you're doggedly attached to leaving the race card at play, logout and take a gander at the color of your replies. If anything, it's clear that "asian knock-off" is 6 additional keypresses to "knock-off", so the only shorthand opportunities I see is to indicate that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Set-precision is unnecessary when the core issue is with reading comprehension and ghost-chasing. You completely missed my point that knock-offs, Asian and otherwise aren't bad; this was in the original reply and subsequent replies. By brand related evidence do you mean my anecdotes about having used wacoms? I figured additional context would help since I had previous addressed the quality of competing products, which you decided to ignore in favor of declaring your ethnicity and assorted other warblgarbl.

I don't believe "anyone reading this thread" would find race-baiting in my questions: "who are the hackers?" and "which knock-off tablet and digitizers have you used?"

Do you really consider announcing your ethnicity as an argument of authority to legitimize your blanket use of "asian knock-off" as calling me out for a race-baiting question? ha.

What you're interpreting as being upset is responding to your nonsense with due diligence to clarify my points (a) the inexpensive knock-offs aren't bad (b) the knock-offs aren't all Asian (c) however, wacom products are indeed Asian.

And let's all just forget your bizarro use of the word hackers for wacom or Microsoft employees. Guess that's what's cool these days; inform recruiting!
