> Note that there's an implicit judgement here that online interactions are fundamentally different from offline ones, which might not necessarily be accurate, but that's been part of Facebook's approach to social networking from day one.

I think that what actually happened was that Facebook impressive feat was that is was able to merge the two — and wants to keep representing relations that have depth. I dislike the use of the word “real” for those, but it corresponds to a easy to sort judgement.

The fact that we have only one word to split the two: 'pseudonymous' explains the discrepancy mention above you. Yishang Wong made great points about that on Quora a while ago. “Snoop Dog” or “Sister Roma“ are established nom-de-scene, “phreak2345” is a temporary handle.
I think co-location is a valuable part of education, and that while online lectures will revolutionize education the best programs will still have central locations were students gather and some amount of in person teaching. Good telepresence is a counter argument, but I don't think it will be enough to simulate living in the same building as other intelligent people with similar interests and the uniting goal of learning.
Pedantic, I know, but it should be "throes of."
So, on the one hand, we can have Netflix pay to put its boxes inside the major ISPs. On the other hand, we can have Netflix pay to upgrade the interconnects between the major ISPs and the backbone.

I don't see how the former is better than the latter from a net neutrality point of view. In both cases, Netflix's humongous traffic is being treated as a special case, and in both cases Netflix is paying to deal with it.

I don't think this convo is entirely fair to Yishan. While I'm not familiar with Reddit's tech stack or management policies, I can't say they have been a shining example of a remote engineering team. For a site that is simply some text and comments, they have a staggering amount of downtime and timeouts.

Whatever they were doing before didn't seem to be working and maybe getting everyone in one place is the fix to that (not to say a remote team doesn' work, as GitHub gets along just fine).

Location: Chicago Suburbs

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Ruby on Rails, Clojure, currently learning Node.js.

Resume: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MrGZE4fLJWgyTUAdQhDvRGYZ....

Email: christopher.d.bui@gmail.com

I'm primarily a web developer and I'd like to get hired for a either a front or back end engineering job. But, if you have an interesting position like in security or something, let me know.
I have the most experience in Rails and Clojure, and I just started playing with Node.js. However, if you're willing to train me or give me some time to learn, I could pick pretty much anything up for you. Like Go for instance, I'd love to get to work with Go.

If you're a startup or software company, another thing I'd love an opportunity to do is be your patio11. I love analytics and want to learn sales and marketing. I can add a lot of value to your company in this way. Give me an analytics dashboard and let me do some sql queries and we can set up emails with incredible ROI.

So if you're around the Chicago area or are hiring remote, let me know, even if you're doing Python or low level C stuff.

I can and will add a ton of value to your business if it's a SAAS one.
They won't necessarily know, but the consequences can be really, really shitty if you get flagged (correctly or incorrectly) for violating a real name policy.

Check out this blog post: https://stilgherrian.com/only-one-name/right-google-you-stup...

Australian guy has the full, legal name "Stilgherrian." Google+ eventually flags his account has having a fake name, and suspends him.

Now, imagine you have an uncommon name, and you've been using Facebook Connect to log into a bunch of sites. One day, your account gets suspended. Not only have you lost access to your social connections, but you've also been locked out of those third party sites. Because Facebook didn't think your name was "real" enough. That sucks for you, and it sucks for the businesses you were Connecting with.

If it was your real name, you may be able to provide passport scans and other documents to recover your account. If it was a pseudonym, you may be completely locked out.

It's also really, really fucking hard to make assumptions about what constitutes a name, unless you only want to do business with Westerners: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-b...

It's far easier, and more respectful, to give people the agency to determine what they should be called, and be done with it.

I can do this with external tools and build systems (make, cmake, waf, scons + protoc and any other binary that I want) that at the end of the day work nicely with the provided tools. Go on the other hand seems to want to be monolithic. It is the center of your compile and link universe. To me it is quite un-Unix. Not unlike how limiting the import system is. Many of the features of Go make it feel like a walled garden.

Yeah... this doesn't work very well. I'm not transgendered or gay but I have a fairly weird hobby that has some parallels. I dress up in an animal costume on the weekends.

My primary social identity is Epoch Wolf. Most of my friends (100+ people I'm in regular contact with) know me as such. I actually answer better to "Epoch" than my real name.

Facebook forces me to use my real name. My Epoch Wolf account was banned years ago. Because of this, my family, my church, and my coworkers have seen pictures of me dressed up as a pink lynx at a furry convention.

I don't have the option of not using facebook. If I want to keep in contact with my friends OR MY CHURCH, I need to use it. Church events are only posted on facebook!

The only reason this is tolerable is:

* I have a lot of self-confidence.

* I am a straight, white, cis-gendered male with a college degree working a white collar job.

* I have an excellent relationship with my parents.

* My pastor has been to anime conventions.

* My coworkers are younger people who also have their own weird hobbies.

* I don't partake in the sexual aspects of furry fandom that the media and 4chan like to make a big deal about.

Because me dressing up in animal costumes is the only weird thing I do, I can get away with it. Everyone I know sees me as a normal person with a weird hobby.

Far too many of my friends have been severely judged by their parents or churches for being gay or having a weird hobby. Some of them have been kicked out by their parents and others live with constant emotional abuse and struggle with crippling depression.

Sorry, this got a little rambly. If I had more time I would write a shorter letter, etc. Anyway, it takes a lot of things going for you to be able to openly participate in a sub-culture that's not well looked upon and having that being dismissed so lightly irritates me to no end.

Thanks for this, I think this a really good antidote for the misconceptions surrounding the 10,000 hour rule. Granted, this is still more 'pop science' than actual science/research. And I think calling him 'proficient' with the Uke, is a stretch, I think 'functional' is a better description.

For most of us, we are balancing jobs and real world responsibilities, and can't afford to put in 40 hours a week for 5 years on the long-shot hopes that we would one day be playing our instrument of choice in front of sell out crowds in Carnegie Hall. Realistically, I could afford maybe 1 hour/day of practice (and even that would be a bit of a stretch, probably closer to 3-4 hours/week) which would mean Carnegie Hall wouldn't happen for another 27 years. I think more than anything, the proliferation of the '10,000 hour rule' was very depressing for me, as a small part of the enjoyment of practicing my various hobbies comes from dreaming about the possibilities, and when you break down the numbers, those dreams become highly improbable (i.e. impossible).

I think a better 'rule' would be as follows, largely from my own anecdotal experience and observations with a number of instruments, sports, programming, and other hobbies:

10's of hours = functional;
100's of hours = proficient;
1000's of hours = professional level;
10000's of hours = world class;

As is noted elsewhere in this thread, these numbers are highly variable and dependent on genetics, previous experience, and practice strategies. But I think this is a better way to frame skill acquisition, its a bit more friendly and realistic. I would like to think that after a couple hundred hours of practicing a new instrument, I would be good enough to jam out in front of a small crowd in a shitty bar. And from my previous experience, that has generally been the case.

But, the marketing name doesn't have to match the version identifier string.

This issue would have been super-easy to work around if they wanted to call it Windows 9. Hell, put two spaces before 9. Make it "Windows Version 9" instead of "Windows 9". Whatever. MS does this all the time, shimming around people's broken & crappy app code. This looks like no sweat to me.
I've tried Remeron (Mirtazapine) which at low doses is a sedating H1 antagonist like Seroquel. It worked for about 2 years and then like an idiot I started playing around with the dosages and it stopped working completely.

> 'would be a waste of someone's time to read this comment'

That's not a good example to use for jokes because people can justify lighthearted humor as an improvement to their day. Having fun is healthy for you, and whatnot.

I think a better way to deal with it is to say that there's a time and place for comedy and HN is not usually that place.

kmontrose is right. App compat is an application-level thing, not a library-level thing. Applications can load libraries dynamically even if they didn't want to (shell extensions are the classic example here).

Do you want explorer.exe to think the OS is named Windows 10 because it loads a library that requires the compat fix?
AZs in AWS are essentially distinct "datacenters" from a logical perspective. There is no shared infrastructure between them; if AZ B drops off, as long as you have your data and instances replicated and serving in another AZ, you will see no downtime.

I think there's a valid argument for them to step in here.

This is an issue of customers not being able to use what they purchased, eg The Internet.

The water was arguably muddy when they were advertising "Speeds up to X", but now when their own infrastructure is incapable of providing what they're selling and they are fully aware of this, they no longer have a leg (or argument) to stand on.
The grandparent also said, "so it wasn't quite as big of an environmental disaster as first expected." The comment about corexit would appear to refer to that part.

You could argue that it was or wasn't as big of a disaster as expected, but the corexit comment was certainly relevant regardless.

Your comment resonates with me quite a bit.

During my high school years, I suffered a bad accident. My right forearm was pretty much shattered, almost amputated. For about a week after all the surgeries, I was on Vicodin 24/7. Just from that, I was addicted. The withdrawal was miserable, and obviously came at the worst possible time.

That one week with Vicodin continues to have profound effects on my life, even now that I'm in my 30s. My fear of addiction convinced me to stay away from all drugs and even drinking. I socialized with people who didn't drink, and found activities that didn't involve partying. All of my social groups and hobbies, to this day, are the legacy of my total adult sobriety. I can't even imagine who I'd be if I didn't have that awful experience with Vicodin.

How American parenting is killing the American marriage
I can't help but conclude that someone who is so obsessed with creating "Happiness" is actually not that happy. Otherwise why would he be chasing it with such desperation? One profile of Tony Hsieh said that he has literally read hundreds of books about how to create happiness, and of course he wrote one too.

A person who is happy is not reading hundreds of books about happiness. And that person will also not become happy through doing that. Happiness is not something you can create externally. (Yes, if you're starving and homeless then having some money and material possessions would definitely make you happy. But we are talking about multimillionaires and billionaires here who are not in that situation.)

I think the entire downtown project has much less to do with creating some sort of startup utopia and more with something that Tony himself is seeking. But he won't find it outside of himself.
I'd enjoy the tall buildings there. They offer an amazing view of the city.

The reports show how easy it is to register your company not run it. I have tried that so take that for what you want.
So far, technology companies have been pretty insulated from consumer protection lawsuits. As people get more comfortable with technology and are less willing to defer to technological excuses, we might be on the precipice of that changing. Lawsuits over 2.2 GHz processors that throttle within 10-15 seconds of running at that speed? Might not be far out.
Based on the preview video, I liked Sway for following reasons:
-- Device/Platform agnostic (can be used on iOs & more)
-- Do research within the application can be a great user experience (assuming MS will allow options to integrate Google, DuckDuckGo as well along with default Bing for search)
-- Quickly sharing dynamic document online and with anyone via link.
-- Can start putting away draft document at the event itself can be good to note down ideas.

Overall, I am pleasantly surprised that it came from Microsoft who I feel having still very old static office products such as Word and Powerpoint.
Utterly stupid post from a company who should know better. The biggest reasons that companies buy expensive appliances is (a) data sovereignty and (b) ongoing support. The cloud e.g. AWS does have decent answers for this yet.

And the companies that are buying these types of appliances like we do couldn't care less about a few hundred thousand dollars.

Maybe that's where you live, but on the other half of the developed world we're starting to see 100/200mbit FTTH connections being pretty common in large and medium cities, with such affordable prices that "normal people" have them at home. So that's definitely a big change from the 10mbit DSL lines we had 5 years ago.

And the 50mbit domestic connections wasn't at all common 20 years ago (heck, we did have 33.6kbps dial-up and it cost a fortune). In fact, if you say that there haven't been large, fast changes in bandwidth terms then I'd invite you to revisit the following facts:

- Smartphones in every pocket, with people consuming 1-2 GB a month. This was unthinkable 7 years ago — and I vividly recall spending a ton of money because I used 1 GB of mobile internet.
- 4G in every corner — just a few years ago the top was the 384kbps UMTS
- FTTH and DOCSIS 3.0 ubiquitous, mainly to lowered costs for fiber equipment, GPON lowers the cost and tougher fiber cables that can easily be installed in houses
- Ten-fold growth in internet provides bandwidth… or more. For example, <10 years ago, OVH's network (one of the largest dedicated server providers in the world) was one of the largest at 300Gbps (I remember the party when they reached out that capacity!). Now they are at +3Tbps and growing.
- 1080p and 4K increasingly common — and then a decade ago we were still buying CRT televisions, a far cry from the FHD and higher bitrate contents

I could keep going with the list… But the fact is: everywhere you look bandwidth is getting cheaper AND faster, same goes for consumer devices that profit said bandwidth (TVs, smartphones…) and that comes in hand with more, richer content.

Your belt-loop, or a rubber band, can make any semi-automatic firearm (pistol or rifle) 'automatic'. Check Youtube videos for 'bump-firing'. It's worth mentioning that fully-automatic firing tends to be a waste of ammo if you're trying to do any kind of accuracy shooting. Even the US Military doesn't recommend firing the M-16 (looks identical to the AR-15 you're panic-pantsing about, but only available to active duty military or those with a VERY expensive ATF 'green card') in full-auto due to accuracy concerns.
