I'm starting to think you are trolling me.

In case anyone is taking your position seriously Google don't necessarily share the information about you with you. Secondly in twenty years time when someone has obtained high office Google will still have the records of them visiting prostitutes/gay bars/anti-gay marriage events (whatever is disapproved of in 2035) and Google[0] or a disreputable employee[1] will blackmail them.

[0] Google 2014 obviously wouldn't do something so disreputable but give it 20 years of falling marketshare, decreasing quality of management and desperation and who knows where it might be.

[1] Likewise todays controls on data may be tight but who knows when they might be dismantled when they get in the way of profit.
This was actually the thing that leapt out at me - I don't really have experience of investors except watching Dragon's Den(!) but they've always been super-harsh on those that misrepresent their figures [or at least are caught doing it].

1.4^5 ~= 5.4

Make sure you're being truthful about your figures with yourself - like don't assume you're making a profit just because you're taking revenue, especially not if you're not paying wages yet.
We should removed that in production. We had it in there so we could debug rendering issues that beta testers were reporting. SessionCam claims it has little to no impact and we haven't really noticed any. Overall it works pretty well. The main thing for us was that other screen capture services didn't work for Angular apps, but SessionCam seems to work fine.
Are any of these a surprise to anyone here?

I am not asking this rhetorically.
I bought one but ordered too small a size so I'd be in for purchasing another if someone were to make this happen. It's a nice shirt and I want one that fits!
fyi, I think most of my original complaints in that bug are either fixed, or largely mitigated. I don't think we've had any issues for over a year now (since Dart 1.0). I still wish it was even more bulletproof, but it isn't scary anymore like it was. Google is building lots of stuff in Dart too, so we're on the hook if something breaks.
Ask HN: What should I learn to make my full stack deployment easier?
I consider myself to be a novice full-stacker, with a preference for python. However, there's a lot of tools out there for many different purposes. I just wanted recommendation on what to learn/use to make my life easier. So... What is it that you guys use that can make my life a little easier? Don't be afraid to get specific (ex. docker, ansible.. etc)
> So what keeps the BuSab from turning into a juggernaut? Their promotion policy. The way you get promoted is to sabotage your boss."

That sounds like a fascinating set of stories and I'd love to read them.

That said, I have full faith in the corruptibility of human beings to assume that they would find some way to capture that agency too.
This. Bootstrapped does not mean "pour personal savings down a black hole".
Thank you, ah, I forgot: really interesting app.

Thanks for the reminder! I was planning to apply, but other things got in the way and I would have forgotten.
Not security in the sense of tracking people with malign intent, but security of the identity system against attacks and fraud.

It's hard to see how a decently-implemented electronic ID wouldn't at first seem to be significantly more secure than the current mix of services that exist at the moment. Think how much havoc a determined individual (who knew and hated you) could cause if they were determined to usurp or disrupt your identity: I'm pretty sure all kinds of government and private services could be diverted with phone calls, lies and trivially-forged paper documents.

On the other hand a central system has the risk of all the data being stolen, sold or subjected to denial of service. It's a difficult thing to weigh up.
When I used it, it was documentation hell. You would always need to delve into the source code.
Very helpful, thank you. I missed that alternative method of putting the CSS into your stylesheet when I initially skimmed the docs. Thanks a lot!
I'm wondering if the exception is when the preceding ring_bell() function never returns? Then there is no undefined behavior since the line with undefined behavior is never reached.

So one could conclude that the compiler has to prove termination of ring_bell() before performing the optimization discussed, which is impossible for just any external function.
Neither of those links support your assertion that identity schemes are "authoritarian" or "are very strongly correlated with abuses in human and civil rights"
I'm thinking they should set up school representatives. Post an ad at each school they are interested in. Have a 3rd/4th year student at each college who is familiar with businesses that are particularly keen to attracting students. They know the student area's and housing issues.
This is the "Loser" deal according to the Gervais Principle[1]:

"[The Losers have] given up some potential for long-term economic liberty (as capitalists) for short-term economic stability."

It makes a certain amount of sense, but so do the other positions of the "Clueless" or "Sociopaths". If you are ambitious, then the "Loser" deal is clearly a bad one.

Ask HN: With no CS degree, what was most frustrating about learning how to code?
1) For those of you without CS degrees, what do you (or did you) find most frustrating about learning how to code?

2) What resources (e.g. mentors, websites, coding classes or bootcamps, youtube videos, books, co-workers) did you find MOST helpful in accelerating your learning?<p>For example, if it was a combination of factors that led you to have the skills you have today, what could you have not done without?
I usually come to HN for insightful and interesting news and content. This submission disappoints. I would not even call this news.
The author builds arguments based on a couple of premises with which I disagree:

1. Live music and recorded music are just two representations of the same underlying piece of art.

I would argue that each rendition of a song is its own piece of artwork. A recording is tweaked until it represents the artist's (or producer's) vision of what the piece should sound like. A live show is spontaneous and unique by definition.

2. The measure of art is defined by the intrinsic quality of the piece.

I think that art is more than the piece itself and includes the context in which it was created and the way it is presented.

In the case of this album, I think that the business model, the current piracy context and even the gilded box contribute to a very interesting piece of artwork. Whether or not the album 'sounds good' is only one piece of the genius of this work.

To say that the Wu-Tang Clan is missing the issue with respect to music's exclusivity is totally beside the point. This is something entirely new, with a powerful statement in a very interesting context. For all we know, the entire album could be a bunch of farm animals and gun shots[1][2] and this would still be a great piece of artwork.

It is amazing how a post like this could reach the front page of hacker news just because it comes from Instagram rather than for its technical relevance.

They mentioned Neti but didn't dig into details other than "a dynamic iptables manipulation daemon, written in Python, and backed by ZooKeeper." and they mentioned the ip blocker which is an issue on almost every migration.

Also taking into consideration that they didn't write a post in the past 10 months, I am sure that they can do it better.

I don't think Adobe will slack off too much, they know it's a massively popular product but that most photographers are geeks and won't put up with them taking their foot off the gas, they'll look elsewhere (although elsewhere is mostly nothing at the moment).
No, implementation defined means the standard said, This is allowed, but we do not specify what will happen. That's up to the compiler to decide. Undefined means This is not allowed. All bets are off.

The problem is that programmers probably assume that many things which are undefined are implementation defined.

An example of something that is implementation defined are struct layouts: the standard (I think) does say that the order must be the same as defined in the struct definition, but it allows the implementation to put as much space as it wants inbetween those values (for optimal architecture alignment.) Things that are implementation defined are typically going to be things which must happen, but if the standard defined exactly how, it would unnecessarily constrain the implementation (such as being able to perform optimizations).

I would bet that it won't initially but will long term. Apple has a track record of releasing things with key features missing, but putting them in down the track. The most recent example being iWork.
I really like the idea of the site, it's an idea I've toyed with a lot myself and I think you've done a decent job but I think there are few usability issues:

Can't signup without clicking Login (slightly confusing to non technical users perhaps?)

The block layout gives no visual affordance to what is new / most active / has the most people verifying data etc. I can't see where the action is happening at a glance.

The text inside the boxes is scaled oddly and is actually difficult to read I find for the smaller boxes. I have to zoom in just to find out what some things are.

Videos have no titles. I have no idea what they're about without opening every single one.

I can't see who has confirmed the items (maybe it's somewhere?) seeing as you can sign in, being able to see WHO has confirmed a lead lets me check what else they have confirmed to help further solidly their authenticity (and perhaps expose bias).

Have you planned for people manipulating the site to mass confirm fake reports and bury legitimate data? Seems like an easy site to game with a few twitter profiles and a few accounts on your site.
That's not what that means. If a program has undefined behavior that means the program is allowed to do anything. If a program has implementation - defined behavior that means the compiler writer must decide a behavior and document it.
We recently introduced pricing for SMBs and Start Ups. You can shoot an email to hello@xamarin.com if interested.
I don't know why it makes you feel good to support the recording industry in any way. You're not a legitimate user of the artists, you're a legitimate user of the recording industry, which is a bunch of evil bastards who live off the backs of the artists without contributing all that much. It should make you feel terrible that 95 cents out of every dollar you contribute goes to support this: http://www.salon.com/2000/06/14/love_7/ (15 years old and still on the ball).

Every penny you contribute to these criminal assholes is hurting the artists you love. The sooner the recording industry goes bankrupt, the sooner we can move on to something better.

According to the C++11 standard, the compiler may assume that any loop terminates, so unless you mark ring_bell as [[noreturn]], the code will be assumed reachable.

Furthermore, when undefined behaviour is invoked anywhere within a program, the whole program is undefined.
I don't know to be honest, and I agree I don't want to assume value of people on the whole of humanity based on their socio-economic conditions.

For example, my Grandfather was absolutely dirt poor. But he had my father. My father, when he was in Korea, volunteered time at the orphanages. My father-in-law and his brother were orphaned during the war and fondly remember U.S. soldiers coming to their orphanage with candies and clothes and things. It might even be possible that my father helped my father-in-law at one of those institutions. Regardless, he was helped enough so that he didn't die of starvation or exposure and instead became an architect and helped house thousands of people in post-war South Korea, and had 5 children who've all gone on to be educated, successful, very productive members of society.

In some way, my Grandfather, who was socio-economically at the bottom of the pile, by having my father, may have helped contribute to my wife's family in helping thousands of people put a roof over their heads and for my wife's generation to go on to do other good things. We're all connected in a way and it really is a small world.

But if socio-economic condition is one axis to measure "success", being able to house and feed yourself and your family based on the money you earn from your efforts should be a minimal barrier to being considered "successful". And I wholly understand that there are simply people who don't have opportunities to seize at all, who never get the decent paying job or the cheap reliable car or the grant to go to school. Who make a bad decision once and it impacts them for the rest of their lives no matter how many right decisions they make afterwards.

I think it's a pity that not everybody has opportunities to be upwardly mobile, but I also think it's a problem when opportunities are presented and continuously squandered, and years later, they sit there bankrupt and miserable and wonder why they can't get a leg up in life. As a person who is now (occasionally) in a position of creating opportunities, I'm cautious about who I help because I am afraid that the effort I might go through to create one, for people like my friend, will simply be wasted.

How to write better copy for your website
> your assertion that identity schemes are "authoritarian"

Well, no, that assertion is a subjective statement, so it's not possible to cite that. (Hence why I didn't - the footnote appears immediately after the portion of text being cited).

The links are intended to demonstrate that there are a number of other aspects of Estonian society that we might not want to emulate. Cherry-picking one benefit would be misleading.

> or "are very strongly correlated with abuses in human and civil rights"

The original sentence was "Authoritarian policies ... are very strongly correlated with abuses in human and civil rights". Would it be clearer if I replaced the word "policies" with "governments"?
just an observation to put Musk's achievements in perspective - Russia failed today to perform maiden launch of its new Angara rocket design. The design is the first new design since USSR times, has been 20+ years in development and its main feature is the Unified Module architecture. Basically the same module approach as Falcon 9/Heavy. Musk took half the time to successfully develop and put his system to use and has very real and plausible chance of getting it into man-rated flights (this may be very-very far plans for Angara, well after [and if] Russia
makes unmanned Angara flights successful)

This makes no sense to me. A marriage is premised on a lifetime commitment. Even with a 50% divorce rate, you are talking about 2 marriages in a lifetime, outliers are 3.

Most people stay in jobs for an average of a few years. It is dating as best.

Did you ever finish a software project for someone impatient? I think it should be obvious that writing daily blog posts is a lot of work that isn't development.

I think another big difference, at least for me is control.

A lot of venues have the sound up to loud for my liking. I like to enjoy music at a volume that is not physically painful.

There's also the fact that a lot of the music I listen to is electronic and sounds very similar live as the recording. At least for smaller acts that aren't DJing.
Some comments and bugs:

- The videos in the live stream are all really unappealing (not the content but the way they're presented), there should really be titles or comments or something on them.

- The content above the black bar also needs some context besides just being pictures

- Hitting the ESC key I expect to close any open models, but instead I get redirected to the front page
- Tweets with ampersands in them show up as &amp;
> implying if someone tells you to never try to understand women, it must mean women are unreasonable.

> implying if someone tells you to never try to understand women, they must be a misogynist

> implying if someone calls women unreasonable, then they must hate them

Protip: instead of calling out the community:

> I think the community is at fault.

Why not speak for yourself and simply call out your own values? It will be more authentic and you'll find people will actually gravitate to you.

If that speaker's opinion about communicating with women violated your own deeply-cherished values, then by all means, make an <h1> tag and say "This violates my own deeply-cherished values", then try to explain why, and try to persuade them to act differently, more like you when you're at your best.

As Malcolm X said, "You've got to show people you have a cleaner glass of water."

When you use bad logic and your imagination to mistakenly imply what someone else means, particularly when you're calling them out personally in a negative way(in this case, by linking to their Twit feed), you're just demonstrating your own lack of comprehension and desire for drama.

When you don't alienate people, you won't have the empty pleasure of the martyr in saying, "Everyone else (the community) is wrong," or the sweet pleasure of reinforcing your negative thinking, BUT people will actually respect your opinion.
