Yes, what matters is indeed those variations, not the amount of toddlers. If you randomly removed 99% of the toddler population the variations wouldn't be significantly reduced. Hence the sample size you'd need in that situation would still be roughly the same as now. Yes sure, if you removed 99.999999% of the toddler population it would get so small that you'd have appreciably fewer variations in the remaining population, so the population size is not completely irrelevant, but it's still overwhelmingly irrelevant in practice.

You do need a representative sample obviously, but that's a different issue.
This is false. Default configuration does not cache any pages with cookies. You can configure varnish to ignore cookies. But as others have stated, Varnish can not magically guess which cookies to ignore and which will modify your content. If your site has /admin, you can tell varnish to not cache that. The cleanest solution is to never ever set any cookies for url-s you want to cache. So if you set a login cookie you set it to /admin.

I think all of this could be easily avoided if HN stopped allowing people to try and silence valid comments that they happen to disagree with.

It's hard to say, but since nuclear power paranoia didn't really kick off until around the 70s, even the most optimistic scenario there would put "too cheap to meter" status at 3+ decades after the first self-sustaining controlled fission reaction in 1942. We're still some unknown time before the first self-sustaining controlled fusion reaction, so discussion of extreme cheapness seems premature.
It probably takes a lot less time than frying up bacon and eggs. Remember that these are typically large extended families, and those are usually communal dishes. So there might be 12 foods in the middle of the table, but 6-12 people are helping themselves from the dishes. The other thing to remember is that most, if not all, of those foods are leftovers and/or prepared ahead of time in large quantities. It doesn't take long to pull stuff out of the fridge and put it on the table.
Definitely not disk space, RAM, or too much multitasking, but it could be shell extensions (don't think I have anything unusual) or virtual network adapters (VirtualBox, Evolve, and Viscocity).

It would be a shame to spend a lot of time and money on an approach that can compete in the market if it works, but doesn't work.

Maybe it's my programming bias at work here, but it seems like getting anything to work should come before trying to optimize it to be cheaper than anything else out there. Until you have a working system to experiment with, how can you even be sure where the true costs will lie?

The second question doesn't even have to be "What is the population of New York State" – a follow-up of just "How about the State" / "I meant the State" is transformed on-screen into "What is the population of New York State" (despite "New York" and "population" not being mentioned the second time). Similarly "where's the nearest Chili's" followed by "phone them", for example.

Even in the cartoons it seems most are correct. As someone who first learned how to focus and get-things-right by drawing at an early age and since, I found it pretty unlikely this premise could be correct.

Not thrilled with the drawing guides either. All I can tell you is I never draw from a picture and I never make this error. Nor it seems to most of the people on google images.
Makes sense. Javascript is the PBR of programming languages.
If I understand that analogy then it's basically saying that "free will" is an excessively vague term that evaporates entirely when you describe what you're thinking of more specifically. Which is basically what I'm saying: I don't think it's a coherent concept by itself, and I don't know what people mean when the use the phrase.

A welcome email is the most dreaded thing in my inbox - I delete them as soon as they land in my inbox.

It's content free, I haven't started to play with the app/site/tool yet (which means I don't know if I like it yet, and I have no real questions until I actually start working with it), and basically, has no value aside from reassuring that someone is available to help.

And even in that case, the welcome email is sent by a robot! Which means that it's not a real person anyways.
Your article didn't address this argument in favour of a 'secure golden key': If the user forgets their password, they can still recover their data.

My guess is that the vast majority of the general public trust Google to keep their data secure more then they trust themselves to remember a password.
The line is equipped with an Automatic Train Operation system (ATO); the train operator (driver) closes the train doors and presses a pair of "start" buttons, and if the way ahead is clear, the ATO drives the train at a safe speed to the next station and stops it there. This system has operated since the line opened in 1968, making the Victoria line the world's first full-scale automatic railway.[20]

#3 appears to be a catch-all for "we haven't decided our policy is yet, and publishing the source code early, while we're still considering the options, forces us to make a premature public statement."

For example, suppose the government was going to establish a new video codec for its own video releases (ie, suppose that Dirac doesn't exist). There are several options: create a new and unencumbered license, negotiate a license for an existing system, or purchase the patent right from the patent holder.

The final choice depends on the cost to develop a new codec, the success of that codec, and the cost of buying or licensing the patent(s). The government can explore all of these at the same time, eg, set up a group to develop a new codec while negotiating with various rights-holders.

The new codec might be finished while the negotiating is ongoing. The government knows how well it fits their goals, but the rights-holders do not. This gives a negotiation advantage to the government.

On the other hand, if the completed codec were immediately published, that advantage disappears. The rights-holders might decide to raise their prices after seeing just how bad the new codec is, which makes the government goal of more open access to their video archives more expensive.

Thus, the government could rightly "judge the public interest not to be served by publishing [their] own software", even if, after the negotiations have completed, the software will be published.
I never considered using Siri this way, which feels strange to me since I've spent a lot of time thinking about the other Accessibility features of iOS (mostly VoiceOver). Have you ever written up your experiences with iPhone accessibility? I'd be interested to read it.
Yeah, would be nice if this launched a little web server on your device with a temporary url for people to connect to. I feel like this is how social networking should work too, but that's a whole nother story.
Thanks, the SDK is at present supporting touch gestures. We have plans to include different types of gestures including Myo type and air gestures.

It is not limited to launching apps, its pretty unlimited. You can create your own gestureset that can run on multiple platforms with an online editor and recorder app, gestures run on top of the app as a transparent no-intrusive overlay.

Integrating into your apps very easily, as ever seen, and does not interfere with the current components and work flow, reducing about 80% the development process.

I think the answer to this question comes from the fact that BI is a policy designed to alter the distribution of wealth, rather than the overall level of wealth.

The issue here is not distribution of wealth, it's consumption. The more we consume now, the less we invest in the future. Do you disagree that BI will increase consumption?

Concretely, we could invest in reducing CO2 emissions, building Tesla factories or developing Tinder for Dogs. Alternatively, we could continue emitting CO2, skip the new Tesla factory and instead just ramp up production in the old Toyota factory, and continue producing goods for poor people to consume.

BI pushes us toward the latter alternative. Why should we favor this?
Experience tells me that you will have an edge over them if and only you can execute well. Your idea seems awesome as the market is already been tested and served. Also, established companies mean slowness to turn around and be close to customers, well at least compared to your future startup. Don't waste anytime, its not having the idea that matters but making it happen while learning from those three that have already started and execute fast. Good luck.
Then it's not 20% time, as most engineers external to Google understand it.

Capacity. Legally we require a certain level of safety/signalling on the tube (and for good reason, given how bad a crash in a tube tunnel can be - after the Moorgate crash it took firefighters four days just to reach the front of the train). It's impossible to (legally) run trains closer than about two minutes apart. If you can only run one train every two minutes, then to take the number of people needed, you want trains as long as possible (e.g. Crossrail, which will use trains with about twice the capacity of Underground trains).

Likewise "operational separation" of different lines is key to reliability, both to ensure incidents on one line don't affect service on another, and because points are subject to a lot more wear and tear than plain track (see the current disruption to south London rail services, caused by a cracked crossover at Lewisham). Going forward TfL is trying to move towards a network of simple, self-contained end-to-end lines, e.g. by separating the Northern line into two independent lines rather than one line with five branches.

The kind of thing you're describing is in operation elsewhere in London where the capacity requirements make it more appropriate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ULTra_(rapid_transit)

I believe the prediction is made based on the estimated size of the copy and it doesn't take into account the number of items to be copied. As any seasoned computer user will tell you, a large number of small files takes longer to copy then a similar sized large file. When the migration wizard is copying a huge number of small files the transfer goes far slower than when it gets into your documents and other large items.

I imagine the situation is slightly different for a quadruped gait than for a biped like us... but even walking like this looks profoundly weird if you see it in real life.

If someone glared at me across a rowdy bar, then walked towards me with a matched arm/leg gait, I would be rather more likely to burst out laughing than feel threatened.

I personally have no trouble noticing when this is wrong in drawings -- recently I saw that the RyanAir instructions on how to exit an aircraft get this wrong in a few places! -- but that's perhaps because when I was a child my siblings and I actually talked about this problem. E.g., if my little sister made this error in a drawing, my brother or I would point it out (not too unkindly, I hope) and demonstrate exactly what it looks like in real life to walk/run that way. I also remember just breaking into this kind of matched run spontaneously just to get a laugh. People who have never seen it before recognize instantly that something is dreadfully wrong, but it can take them a moment to figure out what's awry.

It's honestly hilarious to watch someone run this way -- I highly recommend trying it for entertainment purposes.

There's one exceptional circumstance when this is the natural gait: if you have a child sitting on each of your feet, and you are walking while dragging them along. THEN you need the extra lurch to help you keep moving.

I'm currently reading "The Joy of Work" by Dennis Bakke, who was the CEO of AES for a number of years... in it he makes the point that compensation is rarely the most important factor for people.

Hows this for hipster: these are all basic programming techniques that have existed for decades and barely need to be pointed out. Or have I missed the joke?

EDIT: this is "fake surprise" isn't it. I'm sorry HN. Everyone has to learn this stuff somewhere. But the title was kindof asking for it.

To any newly minted developers out there, the best way to learn this stuff is just to read other peoples code. Pick the library you enjoy using the most and read every file until you understand what all the constructions and bits of syntax are for. Then compare it to another library, etc etc. Develop a taste for some and a distaste for others. There's no excuse not to learn experimentally in js as it has a repl. Use the source luke!
Most of this is just idiomatic JS, hardly "hacks".

You're right - driverless trains can work very well. We've had them for 12 years in Copenhagen serving currently 22 stations, and they run smoothly with just 3 minutes between each train. In the first six months of operation back in 2002 there were a few problems (delays and such), but after that everything has been smooth (and no accidents to my knowledge).
