Ask HN: Fixed cost or by the hr for outsourced dev + design
We are outsourcing a project and it seems many dev shops prefer to quote hourly rates with a time estimate, rather than a fixed price for the job. I'm worried that hourly rates can get out of hand and would rather a fixed quote. In general, what are they best ways to make sure you (as a client) are getting a fair deal?

As for the post itself, I could see it. And in addition to price drops, I think you'd need to see improved inter-device communication—I want to copy text from the PADD I'm reading and paste into the email I'm writing on another one. Seems like there's already wheels in motion on that point.

Well, what of it? They're worried Instagram is going to eat their mark bones and all; whether they're planning to litigate or otherwise, their best defense is to make as much noise about it as they can.
I agree but I tend to get the benefit of the doubt because it's impossible to be sure that they're pretending to not understand as opposed to actually not understanding.
Perl OOP is a hack, but coming from university where they taught Java, suddenly it made the whole thing obvious and transparent (to me at least).

Inheritance was no longer a black box, but just a way of working out where to look for the method and execute it.
I don't think the sticky point is whether or not we should be experimenting with people to find what works and what doesn't. It's about respecting users as humans and not simply data points. How does OkCupid know that conversations "went deeper" or how often emails and numbers were exchanged? Were the participants aware of that level of scrutiny or is that tucked away in the ToS? Most people I know aren't even comfortable talking about their OkCupid, they use it as a means to an end and place trust in the service to be discrete. Do these experiments fall in line with user expectations?

I'm not saying you have to find these experiments upsetting just that when people are upset it tends to be about treating users like honorable guests and not about whether or not we should be allowed to tinker with services to find the right solution.
Exactly

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.

An unfixed security vulnerability is still an unfixed security vulnerability, no matter how many people discover it in the interim. 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.

The one case where refusing to coordinate with the new submitter is reasonable is when the new submitter learned about the vulnerability from the original submitter, which means that the original submitter has violated responsible disclosure. In that case, nobody would deserve a reward.
Yup. The CEO of a high profile non-profit should not be a bigot.
For those who are asking about his politics and getting downvoted, here's why. His politics almost certainly don't matter, UNLESS they are way outside those of the majority of his "constituents". For example, if he pro-religious-freedom, that's fine. If he's for a flat-tax, that's okay to most folks. If he's pro-choice, there are a few who'd get grumpy. If he's a climate-change denier, a lot of folks would question his thinking and/or ethics. If he was an enthusiastic neo-nazi, we'd start marching on Mozilla. For Mozilla's constituents (users, developers, employees), being anti-LGBT was well outside the realm of acceptable political beliefs.

In short, let's leave politics out of this kind of stuff UNLESS the candidate is demonstrably in one of the outer circles of "unacceptable viewpoints".
Registering a mark with the USPTO is _absolutely not required_ to have standing for an ownership claim, even if another party goes to USPTO and registers your mark or a similar one.
Fair point - that's what I meant. Let me rephrase that.
I disagree that it's a valid question. I don't think it was a valid question in Eich's case, either. If there had been any suggestion that Eich had discriminated against any Mozilla employee on the basis of his opinions about homosexuality, that would be a completely different matter, and I would totally support his ousting. But nothing like that ever came out -- I read every blog post on the subject that I could find -- and Eich pledged to abide by Mozilla's diversity policy.

I understand why people had a hard time with the donation. I did too. The pro-Prop. 8 campaign was a river of vicious lies. My initial reaction was the same as a lot of other people's, and indeed I signed one of the online petitions calling for Eich's ouster, which I now regret.

But eventually it became clear that he really did keep his politics out of the office -- there was not a shred of evidence to the contrary. He should have been allowed to remain CEO.

You're seriously overestimating the quality of the Palestinian rockets. See this http://mondoweiss.net/2012/11/dissecting-idf-propaganda-the-... article for the numbers. 12000 fired rockets yielding 26 casualties over a ten year period is not a good record. The number are from before the Iron Dome became operative.

I remember reading about this concerning Netflix. They used to have a competition on who can come up with a better recommendation algorithm. They eventually decided not to implement the best one because what they were getting was good enough, and since most people were streaming instead of getting a dvd, the more recommendations the better. They could just try and if they don't want to see the whole movie, rate it and instantly pick another.

I would disagree that those are two different problems -- "preventing [the site] from collapsing in on itself" and figuring out how to host relevant discussions are tied together more deeply than that. As an example, if heated discussions/topics are systemically removed from view, it makes HN more of an echo chamber, and it will attract more people who will make having volatile discussions more difficult in the future.

What you say is true, but it is also true that they are logically incompatible. GR assumes that matter is precisely localized and QM assumes that it is not. They can't both be right (and in fact we know that GR is wrong about this). So, for example, GR predicts that the interior of a black hole contains a singularity at a precise location, while QM (via the Heisenberg uncertainty principle) says that this is impossible.
True, you didn't suggest otherwise. I just didn't see anyone in the thread complaining about being down voted. I saw a few people asking why they'd been down voted though. It's possible I missed the comments where they were complaining.

As for someone fishing for trouble, I think it's fairly easy to be relatively sure that's the case (vs genuinely ignorant), but impossible to be certain, and I tend to prefer giving the benefit of the doubt.

The Easily Amused's Guide to Searching GitHub Issues
My grandpa designed the bottom of modern beverage cans. The reason for that shape is two-fold. First, the bulge is for pressure resistance. Second, the rest of the design was created specifically for the optimal application of the epoxy spray that prevents your drink from developing a metallic taste. Unfortunately, he didn't patent his work and Anheuser Busch ultimately took his idea for themselves. Never prevented them from being his client though, for other seamless can tooling work.

Yes! These are three features that I have been waiting on for awhile now. Especially now that I don't have to open a ton of tabs to see task lists for each issue. That's so awesome the task lists are now in the list UI.

Great work, GitHub!
I really appreciate NPR. They truly try to embetter their offerings. It's nice that we have a source of news that is not beholden to advertisers or corporate interests (although the number of 'This content was made possible by donations from...' I hear at the end of the larger shows is a bit worrying).

I just wish Says You would release their episodes as a podcast.
On a technical note, you mean range, not mileage. I don't think that anyone is claiming that the Model 3 will have electrical motors that are twice as efficient as the Leaf's motors or anything -- the claim is that it will have batteries that hold more energy than the Leaf's.

I think you're right to be at least a little skeptical of the Model 3. For one, it seems like something of a stretch to say that they'll be on-the-market in 3.5 years with a vehicle that will feature batteries from a factory that hasn't even found a site yet.

That said, I imagine that the Leaf will have a better range in 2017 as well. It seems clear at this point that better battery tech is the final hurdle for electric vehicles. It doesn't seem completely implausible that with a lot of resources thrown at the problem, they'll be able to lower the cost of increasing the energy capacity of batteries in the next few years.

I'm still somewhat unclear on the point of the Dispatcher and Actions and they simply feel like needless indirection to me.

For instance, in the flux-chat app within the linked repo, the MessageComposer component calls `ChatMessageActionCreators.createMessage(text);` when the user press the enter key to submit a message.

To find out how that ends up affecting the application, you need to jump around more than a couple of directories to find out how it's all wired up.

I just cut out the middlemen and directly interfaced my Stores from my components. My Store then emits a change event as usual and other components that are subscribed to the change event than refetch their state. That part of Flux makes perfect sense to me. The need for Dispatchers and Actions don't.

To be fair, I didn't start looking into Flux until my app starting growing large enough that I started feeling the pain of my lack of architecture. The Stores and the event emitter solved my immediate problems. Perhaps if my app grows even larger, the Dispatcher may come in handy.

Not only that, NPR's shows are available in other ways on standard protocols. I listen to a couple of shows regularly through my phone's built in podcast client.

They're adding a new way to access their media because it does things that the generic clients can't. That doesn't mean the other distribution channels are going away.

As one of those very rare individuals you allude to (see everything in greyscale), you should be aware that my eyesight (and many people with a similar condition to me) is "limited" but not to the point where i can't cross the street or need to use a screen reader.

Having said that, even for me knowing the colour would be useful even if I can't exactly distinguish it (e.g. I'm waiting for a white station wagon, its definitely not that black hatchback that slowed down in front of me)
I've been developing with Perl for almost 20 years and am a great fan of it. I think it's not difficult to write easy to read and understand Perl code (although it's also not difficult to write awful Perl code). I'm very interested to learn more about Mojolicious. I've been using and really enjoying Perl Dancer, which from the example on the landing page of Mojolicious looks very similar. Could someone familiar with the two give me a summery of the differences and pros and cons between them?

Well in future conflicts if the US or Israel were to deploy it against them (China), having the full schematics of it would certainly be beneficial. Seems right out of the PLA playbook to me.

That being said, Israel and the US are a decade ahead of the Chinese in UAV technology and they know it. Letting us do the R&D and them steal the secrets is certainly an expedient way to close that gap.

How does it not? Operating in more than one country doesn't somehow exempt you from laws.
I stand corrected. Thank you for finally making this change... It's been driving me mad.
I did my first one a few months ago. The business that I worked on didn't win, but I learned a lot from my teammates and the other teams that were there. For example there were several teams using wireframing or mockup tools to create simulated mobile apps as their MVPs, and I got to see what they could do with them. My teammates were able to learn from me how to build cost + revenue projections and "what if" analyses with a spreadsheet. Other folks on my team spent the weekend figuring out how to work on an idea with a 3D printer. I suppose if you don't have anything to learn, it might not be worth the time. But who doesn't have anything to learn? Also the food was good, the booze was unlimited, and I got a nice t-shirt out of the deal, so it's got that going for it.

The Bear Case For Uber
I agree with your sentiment when it comes to e-commerce and print publishing, but for radio, I'm already a big app-consumer.

Why? So I can escape the soul-crushing drudgery of Car Talk and Prairie Home Companion. They're good shows, but they're essentially the same show, repeated thousands of times. And no matter where I am, they seem to be what's on the local NPR station.

So I already have apps (or streams in the Radium app) for the CBC, BBC, Deutsche Welle, etc. If this new NPR app lets me listen without needing to constantly fiddle with my phone and select stories, I'll use it a lot.
> I am more than a little disturbed by them showing deliberately bad data to their users.

I actually find this reassuring. It means they're sanity checking their algorithm to make sure that it works better than random pairings, or isn't outright wrong.
Well, there will always exist people who believe that their route is better than the Google Maps route. Some of them will even be correct!

The other thing is that users just HATE typing in addresses on smartphones. It's like the worst-case scenario for smartphone data entry -- lots of different fields, and words that are not in the dictionary/don't autocorrect well. So Uber (and Lyft, and (ahem) Flywheel (which I work for)) do not require that a user input a destination.
I mostly like this, especially the way in which things like label/title changes are finally displayed.

You know what I would really like to see next? A bit of adaptive design. Something that will let me use a narrow viewport without needing to scroll back and forth all the time.
This is great! One thing that I was not able to find: is the activity tracking around labels exposed in the API? We (the Brackets team) actually wrote a tool to collect data about when a label was added or removed and it would be a welcome change to not have to support that :)

What astounds me -- I think -- is his honesty. He overstates and overestimates his value... but... he wrote it as it is.

I read his account and think he is a goddamn idiot... basically a self-indulgent, petulant child. I think it shows a profound disconnect with reality, he legitimately thought that if he told the story... people would be on his side.

I am deeply curious about his mental state... he considers himself victimize, he considers disclaimers meaningful, he really can't understand why people would take offense at his shallow, low value wrapper trading off the names and content of other people.
Profitable is different than sustainable. So why can't it be sustained without being "profitable?"
Yes? That's basically what large corporations do today...

Nissan (the car company) is still working to get nissan.com, and they're almost exclusively attempting to do it through legal means instead of negotiating with the current owner.
Where are these agnostic APIs?

Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing, ain't it? The vast majority of NPR's funding comes from advertisers, excuse me, underwriters.

Edit: Well fuck me I'm wrong. Carry on, citizen.
