Cardboard's probably easier to form into rectangular shapes than cylinders - if you look at the way cardboard boxes are constructed, the joins are all done by overlapping which doesn't work so well on curved edges.
I was referring to serving an ordinary HTTP page on port 80. Most people type facebook.com into the address bar and hit Enter (and don't have HTTPSEverywhere). In normal circumstances, Facebook would issue a redirect to https://facebook.com, but if you're controlling the network you just serve the front page via HTTP.
If you want to understand this better I'd recommend going back through that Blog's archives, they talk extensively about this (TL;DR: Women are the minority on the site, and only respond to a small subset of messages, plus matches are personalty not looks and as this article indicates that is only 10% of people's opinions).

I scrolled through this whole thread looking for a mention of Swell who have been my go-to app for this purpose for the past couple of months (feels like it's been forever though, can't imagine life without it).

I pretty much get NPR hourly news updates, Fresh Air, interspersed with episodes of Marc Maron's WTF and some random stuff like A16Z and stuff from the BBC. It's pretty much ideal.

I love NPR, and before Swell would just have the local station on all day, but I find that NPR doesn't make enough content to fill up a whole day of straight listening (at least not enough content that I like) - I wonder if the NPR One app would automatically find shows from their archive that I might be interested in to fill the time.

I'd be curious if other users of Swell will be switching to this app, or if they, like me, see it as a slightly different and improved model to tie together content from a variety of different sources.
All that is off topic. I think we should maybe change the guideline to say: "Please don't comment about being downvoted. It does no good and makes for boring reading."
So the roadmap to a safe business executive career is to:

1) Don't speak about your political views, keep them to yourself

2) Don't contribute to any political funds, it may be used against you in the future.

3) Don't be controversial in any regard.

Seems like these are actually the opposite of what I would want in a CEO. I would want to know where my CEO stands on certain issues, what their level of political activism is; what do they view as important outside of the company?

This really isn't just about social issues, but any issues including bills like CISPA and PIPA (and reincarnates), since they are very important to my sector today... but if a CEO speaks out against them today, and in 10 years that view is unfavorable... will it be used against him/her?

This screencap [1] is from an article from one of the most important newspaper; El Mundo. The article is about how news aggregators arehurting the newspaper industry and that it was high time that the authorities did something. Next to the article there is a widget to share that very same article on Facebook/Twitter/Linked and Meneame[2]. Meneame [3] is the main Spanish news aggreagator, a Digg clone. With this new law the future of all news aggregators in Spain is uncertain.

This is the statement from the creator of Meneame [2], he is considering either closing the site or moving abroad.

The law doesn't only affect linking to newspapers, it also applies to linking to blogs or other sources. You are supposed to pay the tax even when linking to blogs that are not affiliated with the program and that will never receive any money from it.

Under a strict interepretation of this law, HN is illegal in Spain.

I disagree with your assessment that Tesla doesn't have any new technology that will improve their efficiency over Nissan.

Tesla builds their own powertrains and battery management systems, which are good enough that other automakers license or purchase these components from them.

I also believe that Tesla has efficiency advantages due to the high degree of automation they've built into their factories, as well as the lack of dealership markups. Tesla's profit margin on the Model S is excellent compared to many other automakers, which leads me to believe that they will also be able to offer more for less with the Model 3.
Fair enough.

I use a rowing machine. When I'm relatively untrained, I start with rowing at a steady rate, working up to 20 minutes. Then I add in HIIT, starting at 20 seconds work/ 40 seconds recovery. When I can do 6-8 intervals, I'll change the rest/work ratio to 30/30, then 20/10. For the work intervals, I row as hard as I can, a pace of around 1:30-1:40 per 500m. For recovery, I row as slow as I can, around 4:00/500m.
Another benefit is that the Dispatcher handles all the ordering of updates for you. If you have complex relationships between your stores or even if they just must handle updates in a certain order, by sending all updates through the dispatcher you can also force a partial ordering of store updates through dispatcher.waitFor(<other store>)
Huh. I checked back a few times. It looks like facebook loads an interstitial with boxes, that actually corresponds to the layout of the page, but not the content. This includes sentence layout (the boxes cover the area that gets replaced with text, similar for images). Now I'm curious what's going on.
Depending on the market, a lower list price can work out really well. If demand is high and supply us low, a low list price and not accepting (or at least responding to) offers until after a specific date can result in a bidding war increasing the price 5-10%, as you've increased your exposure.

This tactic has been used to great effect over the last few years in the area North of San Francisco. I bought a house a year ago, and this was particularly annoying as it made it hard to determine what houses were really available in our price range, since listed prices were often fictional. Brokers suggested coming in $5k to $15k above listed price as an initial bid if others seemed interested, just so you would be taken seriously.

Edit: s/$15k to $15k/$5k to $15k/

> Duplicates of non-public security vulnerabilities should be treated the same as the original reports (including the same rewards consideration process), especially if it was independently discovered.

This is rare for bug bounty rewards. All the programs I am aware of only reward the first reporter.

> By refusing to coordinate with the new submitter, the new submitter does not know if the vulnerability will ever be fixed and is reasonably justified in using public disclosure.

That's kind of what I'm pointing out here. We are missing information about what Facebook actually said and when it was said. The "we already know about it" response could mean "we know about it and are working on fixing it" or it could mean "we know about it and we don't care". In the former case, it is not responsible to publicly disclose the issue until it is fixed. In the later, it is.

A separate scenario is if the company is taking a long time to fix the issue. This is obviously subjective, but in my opinion it is understandable for a reporter to publicly disclose a long-standing issue in an attempt to force the company to act.

Yes, I suppose that might work at least some of the time. Most browsers these days, however, would send you to the https site simply because you had visited it more frequently unless you typed out the full url and managed not to select the offered completion.
I don't consider the Model X a true SUV. Tesla calls it a "crossover" which I suppose is the industry lingo for fake SUV's like the Model X.

I can see how it would be a good alternative to a minivan, though. So maybe they should call it a "crossover" minivan? (I suppose calling it a minivan wouldn't be as attractive as SUV.)
I came here to say the exact same thing. After having worked on/scaled an API that served >100k requests per minute, I feel I can say with some experience that defining your JSON in your model is a very bad idea.

A classic example that we ran into repeatedly: Assume you want to have an endpoint that populates a user's profile (for the user to see). You probably want id, name, email, age, location, created_at, updated_at, etc. However, when exposing this same user instance through an endpoint that publicly aggregates users (e.g. search), sending over all those fields is 1) overkill, and 2) raises privacy concerns.

So far, my favorite approach to this problem uses the ActiveModel::Serializer gem (https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers). It moves the JSON logic to something more akin to a view, and provides an easy way to present instances differently depending on the context.
There's a similar way to work without a real estate agent in the USA--you just hire a real estate lawyer who takes care of contracts and whatnot and you pay them a flat fee.

I'm always curious how other markets work (and aware that the USA is one of the few RE markets with buyer's agents). Is there an inspection period? Are most homes bought outright, or are loans taken out to purchase them? Does the seller's agent do any marketing (newspaper ads, open houses, etc)? What does the seller's agent usually get in terms of compensation (a percent of the sales price, a fixed fee)?
The article asserts:

"Aesthetically, a slightly taller can looks nicer. The Golden ratio is approx 1.6, so a can with a height of approx 1.6x it's diameter (3.2x the radius) would be very appealing."

However, it is a myth that the Golden Ratio is the most appealing ratio. Many things, from the Parthenon to paper sizes, don't have a golden ratio and that doesn't make them less attractive[1].

Also, the supermarket in my neighbourhood sells soup in a variety of containers (cans, tetrabriks, plastic bags) and if only the standard soup can would sell well, I wouldn't see the other packages.

[1] http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4325

"Perhaps the best known pseudoscientific claim about the golden ratio is that the Greek Parthenon, the famous columned temple atop the Acropolis in Athens, is designed around this ratio. Many are the amateurs who have superimposed golden rectangles all over images of the Parthenon, claiming to have found a match. But if you've ever studied such images, you've seen that it never quite fits, at least not any better than any other rectangle you might try. That's because there's no credible historical or documentary evidence that the Parthenon's designers, who worked more than a century before Euclid was even born, ever used the golden ratio in any way, or even knew of its existence."

I have recently started using Xamarin for a client who wanted apps for the major mobile platforms. It was a little confusing at first to get going and understand how to structure my app. It took about a whole day to understand what I needed to know. But once it clicked, it was very easy to write my code for the platforms in a small amount of time. The code I wrote is 100% reusable for each of the platforms.
This is nice. There are two things however that would make GitHub issues awesome:

2. Labels with values. Simple integers types would do to begin with. For example, priority:1, priority:2, etc. And then being able to sort by the value.

OP here. I discovered this years ago. I suspect it has been extant for as long as Instagram itself. I actually posted a comment about this 216 days ago! (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6959472). When I checked again on Saturday, I couldn't believe my eyes when it I saw it still hadn't been fixed. I reported it to FB immediately, to which they responded it's been reported "some" times and the Instagram team were working on moving all endpoints to HTTPS and they closed the ticket without further discussion. I was incensed that such a fundamental and critical flaw was allowed to exist for so long. Because of this I decided public disclosure was justified.
There's also the different, not better concept. The Model 3 will be a sedan, the leaf is a hatchback. Etc. All the same reasons there is a market for the many kinds of ICE vehicles we see today.

IME, it's very common for people to open an issue and immediately or soon after open a separate PR for the issue, so you end up with lots of duplicates (or more if the original PR is abandoned and new ones are created, or there are competing PRs for an issue). Having both PR and issues in the issues list just made it unwieldy.

> I enjoyed the rest of the article relating to the optimal dimensions of the cylinder, but I still don't really understand why more products don't use cuboids (with or without filleted edges).

Plenty do, when they are small enough that they can have sufficient strength and still have a pull-top opening (lots of sardine/anchovy cans are this way.) When they are bigger, they don't, because can openers.

Though I'm starting to see more "canned" vegetables/etc. that use lined cardboard cuboids rather than metal cans, so there's that.
There are good agents and bad agents, just like good and bad folks in any profession. (Actually, because the barriers to entry are so low, there are probably more bad real estate agents.)

See my comment below about LTV--if a consumer feels they aren't being treated well, the agent might make a bit more on this sale, but lose five figures of income later. Just like that agent that you interacted with.

Now, if you feel like the consumer isn't educated enough to know they are being treated with care, well, that's a different discussion entirely.
Really interesting read. Reminds me of also daytrading performance where the allure of profits draw people in until they realize that even on the small chance they make money, short term capital gains tax, brokerage commission and slippage kills you on the order of 35-40%.

New York City does have an MLS. Its run by the Real Estate Board of New York (http://www.rebny.com/content/rebny/en.html) and is called RLS (REBNY Listing Service).

Streeteasy simply never had access to RLS so they had to get their data from other sources, primarily from scraping websites and emails, as well as some direct data feeds from brokerages that agreed to work with them.

Yes, homebuying can use a LOT of disruption. Unfortunately there are many many players and change moves slowly.

Zillow, Trulia and You [the real estate broker]
Just adding some anecdata to the chatter about these sites and the experience of buying a home:

I began searching for a house in the East Bay about two years ago, culminating in a purchase in June 2013. The first year or so I was using Redfin, Zillow, and Trulia to track availability, prices and neighborhoods. While I got some good information, it wasn't until I started talking to an agent with about thirty years experience in the region that I actually got good leads. The listings on all of these sites seemed to trail the MLS leads she would get by days to weeks. I made several offers over many months, each one more than the last, each time watching the stock get thinner and bids climb higher. My agent was not only finding good potential properties, but also providing a lot of perspective and emotional support.

The house I ultimately bought was something she found via her network of colleagues before it even was placed on the market. I made a bold offer and gulped at what I was putting on the table, but in retrospect I was fortunate considering what's happening in the bay area housing market right now.

Maybe I'm a dummy, but I cannot envision going through the process without a real human pro providing guidance and leads.

Replace the All Songs Considered stream? I sure hope not!

The stream is great and I've been an ASC listener since it was a semi-regular podcast I would download. Now I have it running in Radio Tray on my desktop most days, and I don't want something interactive.

The primary attractions for me are 1) It works overseas (I'm in Europe) 2) It is consumed passively, and 3) The curation of the music stream is superb. You can even email Bob feedback on songs and he writes you back. I think it's one of the coolest and most enjoyable things on the Internet.

I'm not against a new interactive app for people to use on their mobiles, but this in now way replaces the stream for me.

I don't really understand the need for pictures of drivers, personally (except maybe as a means of authentication/identification, but once you go past race/sex/age/etc., I'm really bad at IDing people from faces); I judge people based on a lot of things, but generally not things visible in photos. I'd probably judge someone as a driver based on type of car and condition of car more than anything else; DMV driving record, whether the person is local, etc. would be even more desirable.
