Isn't there a potential startup in here? The judicial process follows clear and distinct steps, with clear and distinct documents for every step. It seems like much of this can be automated as much as the trolls automate their process?

Question 1: has the lawsuit been filed in an odd/irrelevant place? Followed by some subquestions to be more precise. If so, fill out this form, include the addresses of .. and ... and we'll send a form letter to them for you, asking for a dismissal.

Exactly.
Guinea's health minister said something along the lines of "If the WHO thinks that our citizens should serve as test subjects for these drugs, that's something we'll need to debate with them".

That's how the use of these drugs is perceived over there. Liberia is historically close to the US and as such more willing to work with unproven western technology in critical times.
Others are suspicious even if the things they get is tried and proven for a century.

I've actually been in that meeting where it was discussed about when someone would die. So I wouldn't be surprised. Either way, I can assure you it's part of the revenue forecast.
A very fair observation. The team is larger now, but it is still not at 10x. A layer of management is now in place in certain teams. This is one of the things we are aware of and are putting a foundation in place. We are aware that it will be a challenge to maintain it.

We recognize the fact that a good culture does not just happen. It must be fostered and guided. It must be reinforced with actions which may not look like they have an immediate positive impact on the company. However, employees are the only thing a company has in the end. A happy and motivated employee is many times more valuable to a company than a miserable unmotivated one, and the investment is worth it. We hope to keep this up as we grow.

I have a technical question (don't know if this is the rigth place to ask): the architecture is clear to me now.
But which is the related best practice to deploy my app (stored in a git/github repo) in such a place? I mean in order to have it in all the different EC2 instances sped-up by the load-balancer.

At the moment on my architecture I use a queue system and a pull script in every machine.

in 2 seconds, I can't see what your core skills are, and whom you are pitching too.
F# is a nice language, but not a very necessary one (especially given the lack of tooling).

1) Simply write a quick extension method (not ideal but not a reason to switch languages):

var xs = r.YourExtensionMethod<int>(rr => rr.GetInt(0)).ToList();

2) Simply use the appropriate built-in method:

int f(string x)
{
int number; /*Will be not necessary in C#6.*/
return Int32.TryParse(value, out number) ? numeber * 3 : -1;
}

3) It's a matter of taste. Not a bad feature, but not a killer one either.

I never used Acorn Arthur but I did use RiscOS 3 whilst at primary school circa '91, and this had an X in the corner: http://www.mjpye.org.uk/images/screens/riscos-02.gif

I'm sure the GUI design of RiscOS 3 helped to inspire Windows 95.
nice idea, but I would like to see some demo of this, e.g. with static page or a github repo.
The relationship between UI elements/DOM and the "application presenter" is a bit far fetched for me, making the styleguide involve HTML, ERB, CSS, and some Rails app?

You could double-click it to close, though. And of course the menu (and the double-click-to-close functionality) is still there, it's just that the [-] icon was replaced with the application's own icon. So contrary to the article, the close button was added in Win95, all the other elements are still there.
But while the test was meant to measure a skill, he beat the test without having the skill. He used the sound of the targets on the range to aim which, while impressive, is also completely unavailable in situations for which concealed carry permits are intended. Range marksmanship can translate to real-world scenarios for sighted shooters, but it doesn't seem like it would for blind shooters.

>The thing that makes guns dangerous is the willingness to use them to kill other people.

You are, at least statistically speaking, incorrect. The majority of gunshot deaths are self-inflicted and judged to be intentional.

sources:

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/suicide.htm
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm

Firearm homicides:Number of deaths: 11,068

Firearm suicides:Number of deaths: 19,990

(the number of firearm accidents is comparatively small; slightly above 500 deaths.)

for comparison:

Motor vehicle traffic deaths: Number of deaths: 33,783

Note, my position on gun control also isn't entirely decided. But I do think that these statistics support my view that the right to die on your own terms is, in a very real way, a major part of why people want to own a gun, and this is not a part of the public debate, while the number of suicides is included in 'gun deaths' in the public debate. I think that is an inconsistency in how most people look at and talk about the issue.

Basically you wont be able to click on it as I have not entered more data yet. What I did was just grab data from Inc.'s website and put it on Infogram (took 5-7 minutes). I am planning to add all data with revenue and market share but it will take some time.
Well, the definition itself isn't blurry I'd say, since it's pretty much universal: the examples you cited should be encompassed as possibilities by the model. It's just hard to define because it involves the complexities and oddities of morality, happiness and the like -- our objective knowledge of those is so restricted and sparse that we're better off just "winging" judgements from our legacy of humanities study.

I think for specific situations this can be useful. In the final video they show a 'holding tank' the salmon eventually get to and are then hand transported through the building to the next body of water.

I think it has been designed for a very specific commercial issue (maximising the restocking of wild salmon). I'm guessing this has applications elsewhere where you want to transport live fish/tubular slimy animals.
if you can believe the facebook story of Mark Z., probably not. if you want to involve with the open-source community, it can make sense to publish the code, so, that stealing is not a danger, but an option for better collaboration.
Don't have much Mezzanine experience, but what i like about django cms is that it's flexible for the user(certainly with the latest release); Users can set up their own pages by assembling components/containers onto their page. It's more like a real CMS. But this can be too much for a simple site maybe.
You can't uniformly apply sunscreen on your entire body. Depending on type of skin, vitamin D will hit maximal daily production from sunlight in range of very fast to very slow.

So, yes, sunscreen might block some vitamin D production for some people, or might not do it at all.

Its perhaps prudent to apply it to some skin parts that are most affected by sunlight (face, shoulders) and leave other body parts without it. There you have benefits of both worlds.

Furthermore, vitamin D is not the only substance produced by the skin via sunlight (although we don't know much about other ones), so vitamin D from diet is not a substitute for it. Furthermore, vitamin D from diet can easily cause calcification depending on other factors (vitamin K and A in the diet and genetics) while there is internal protection for body made one.

I recently watched DamNation [1] and was quite surprised at the shear number of dams located in the United States. The film claims that most have outlived their purpose. I can't recall the exact cost stated per fish to divert them around dams or raise them in a hatchery, but it was fairly high. The film's production quality was quite high and was fairly eye opening.

While doing a little googling, I found an article [2] claiming $7 million in fish ladder work after structural damage forced a reduction in water level. So perhaps this solution could be cost effective or quickly put in place in case damage occurs just before a run.

The idea that a browser is good because it enables developers to do interesting things is only half the story. If you're interested in a standardised web where anyone can create a browser without having to reverse engineer (or at least protect against) another manufacturer's 'extensions' and 'quirks' then what Microsoft and IE did was terrible. Doing new things is great, but doing them in a closed way that holds everyone else back is wrong when you're releasing apps to a global, open audience.

Plus, a large number of the things that IE 5.5 and 6.0 did, while innovative and interesting, were actually implemented in really shoddy ways that left gaping holes in security and paved the way for a torrent of malware. The fact Microsoft then left them insecure for years only compounded the problem.
The lack of a legal secondary market can also mess with your accounting. If you don't have the right to resell the equipment because you are the sole owner of the license to the software, then its value is basically zero as soon as you buy it. Most accounting methods assume that goods retain value over time and depreciate in a set schedule. Otherwise every time you bought a Cisco router or Netapp filer the book value would be zero if it wasn't legal to sell, even during a bankruptcy auction etc.
Great description. Obviously codeflo knows this, but it's worth pointing out that "roundtrip" means "visiting every city exactly once". Euclidean problem geometry guarantees it (it's always faster to go directly) but many problems, even though emerging from seemingly euclidean space, do not have this property - e.g. if you're using a car, the road network might induce non-euclidean distance geometry that would make the fast roundtrip include more than one visit to a node.

> Y Combinator has a zero tolerance policy for inappropriate sexual or romantic behavior from investors toward founders.

One subtle thing to notice is that her main point doesn't specify any behaviors, and instead just uses the word "inappropriate." Presumably this leaves open the possibility of some sexual or romantic behavior from investors toward founders being considered appropriate. The reason this could be a problem is that most people agree that "inappropriate" behavior is bad, because that's baked into the definition of the word, but people disagree on what specific behaviors are inappropriate.

I'm glad I'm not the only person to think that (mind you this was over breakfast and before much coffee).

I did think very briefly that it was something to do with X, then thought X was a variable as in "$X to close".
Yes, English is my first language. I don't know why I internalized that symbol the way I did. And looking at the Atari TOS screenshot, I would have said the symbol in the upper right corner looked like an elevator "open" symbol, something like <>. But thinking more deeply, >< and <> are in only one dimension. They are good for expressing the idea of "close" and "open" respectively, but they fail to acknowledge the two-dimensional character of a window. So, I like what some of the other posters have said about four arrowheads pointing in and out respectively. That said, the symbol of two diagonal, outward-pointing arrows in the upper right corner of Mac OS X windows now strikes me as brilliant; in a minimal way, the idea of maximizing in two dimensions is expressed.

Is it a negative thing to display images of women at all now?

Re-designing busuu; One year as a Product Designer
Imagine a world where everyone would have access to free* education, free* healthcare, with a form of basic income tied to all people above a certain age(+ half of BI (only) for the 1st child) -> working social safety net - and a healthy lifespan of 80y(100+ altogether).. You get a BI that can cover your basic expenses and you can explore the world, pursue your passions for the next 40y .. or .. have children .. the ultimate solution to population growth(the 2nd one is technology(innovation) which, in a more free, more equal society where everyone could study/invent/take risks without worrying about ending on the street wouldn't fall that much behind, as HN'ers enjoying today's cheap/free tech can tell you) .. we'd be swamped by bad art(multiply what today's corporatocracy is doing to the industry x10) and a trillion dollar travel and leisure industry but even if only 2% of the population - at any given moment - would contribute to society, there would be no problem we couldn't handle, no obstacle we couldn't overcome, no target we couldn't achieve. I can imagine the social status metric to be moved from the m2 of real estate/#of cars you own to contributions to humanity, we are seeing this (in a limited scope) in the academic and tech circles already. Getting the society to a point where not contributing to sciences/art/education/hc etc would be considered a failure(same as many of you (wrongly) consider homeless people to be) .. there is only one problem, today's global regime with tomorrows technology.. we're heading towards a dystopian society with genetically superior class of uebermenchen and the rest..
Transferring live fish by pipeline has been used in the fishing industry for a long time - large trawlers will store fish in salt water in tanks and when they get into port they are transferred by pipeline directly from the trawler to the fish processing plant so they are still alive when they hit the table where they are "processed".

[NB A fisherman explained this to me in Mallaig Scotland, none of the fishing boats I've been on were so high tech!]

> ...can't even set the debugger to break at exceptions because they're being thrown everywhere all the time for flow control.

Any C++ debugger worth using will allow you to break on certain exceptions and ignore others. Even gdb permits this: http://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Set-Catchpoints.htm... Any decently designed C++ program will have a sane set of exception classes that will be easy to filter when debugging.

IIRC on windows 3.1 keyboard navigation X was always the key for exiting, as E was already used for other things.

I clearly remember that for closing windows one could do alt+f4 (which was itself a shortcut to Close) or open the file menu (Alt+F) and select eXit.

I can't check but I believe it was the same for Write and notepad as well and any other programs that had the Exit option.

So maybe that's where the windows 95 developer took inspiration for the X icon
I think I remember that hitting the "close" button on early, black-and-white macs would make a star appear in the square, signifying the press. Almost like the X...

It's reached a point now where I'm pretty much never going to publicly post my opinion on anything related to sexism in tech. It's not because I've been flamed before - I haven't. And it's not that I secretly think my viewpoint is extreme or would be one that is going to offend. I'm pretty sure I actually hold a really friendly perspective on this matter as considered by any reasonable, rational person.

But the voices in this game aren't reasonable and rational anymore. I've seen people online harassed and abused for even the slightest of statements that are very often misconstrued and interpreted in the harshest possible light. Before you know it, you'll be getting death threats over Twitter. Maybe you'll even get fired from your job too? Ask PG how quickly things can get out of hand - his public image took a heavy beating and in many circles he still seems to be considered a sexist.

This isn't a discussion reasonable people can participate in anymore. Mission accomplished?

These are more accurately described, I think, as paper darts - the lack of camber in particular, makes this more of a dart design tool. But! Its a step closer to having a real airplane design tool .. if they can layer the wings and produce camber using the same simple cutout techniques, then we have something even more useful for the budding junior pilots of tomorrow to use to learn how things fly.

(Disclaimer: I'm working on an airplane printer. You turn a handle, feed in raw materials, and get a flying product at the other end of the box. I'm focusing on Kline-Fogelmann wing style, since its a very easy and workable camber technique .. hope to have something to report to HN about the project soon..)

How about we turn people into asexual blobs when it comes to business/work environment.
The heuristic is that if the case is more frequent than something like 1/1000 then you don't use exceptions in these languages (C++, Java, ...). As they are a lot cheaper in languages like ML, people there tend to use them more for early exits out of things like folds.

A simple example:

let prod = List.fold_left (fun acc a -> acc * a) 1.0 xs

should not fold over the whole list if a factor is 0.0
so they tend to use exceptions for that (or delimited continuations)
