"Bacon" in the U.S. also means a particular kind of thin cut of pork belly, salted and cured in a particular kind of way.

It generally looks like this. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/31/Made20ba...

It's different than the kinds of bacon you'll find in parts of the U.K., Ireland or Canada which usually serve a more hearty cut of meat that's processed differently and can include back bacon, or middle cuts from the pig.

For example, an American might not recognize the bacon in this picture https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/Englishb... as "bacon" and would probably just call it "ham".
Looks like an interesting library. I have no use for it right now but maybe one day. Definitely can see why this would be useful for some people though.

Their website has some serious style. It looks cool and original. Which raises a meta-issue that has been bugging me for a while. This is the bar you have to meet for even an open source project nowadays. It's not enough for you to pour your blood sweat and tears into something and then give it away for free. You then have to create slick looking site to market it and get people's attention.

We traveled to Lima a few years ago, and the variety and quality of the food in the grocery stores and restaurants was astounding. For the equivalent of 2 to 5 bucks, you could get a lunch that would cost easily six times that in the U.S. -- if you could find anything equivalent.

No, he doesn't. Just because he acts like a moron one time doesn't mean he's somehow not a weasel.

The problem isn't that it's too abundant. The problem is that people make excuses for it every time it happens, instead of just saying, "Yeah, that was really verbally abusive."

The position that saturated fat is causative in heart disease is not the default position. If an idea is going to generate prescriptive advice it should come with ample supporting evidence.

Despite this we've been strongly indoctrinated with the idea that fat == unhealthy. It has caused us to change our behavior by avoiding foods that our parents and grandparents have been eating down through the generations. We've moved away from the default "balanced diet" on bunk data.

> I've not skated for about 10 years, but I got a board recently to see if I still had it. Ollie'ing is like riding a bike, never forget how to do it. :)

It's tough for me. I skated nearly every day of high school and not much since then. I got on a board a few months back and it was like starting all over again. The biggest difference that I noticed was my diminishing flexibility. I need to start managing that--my wife, a physical therapist, says that lack of flexibility in our 30's and 40's is highly correlated with likelihood of falls when we are elderly.
Interesting point! There's one tentative idea that in the 1960-70's, people had the fear that compilers would deskill programming. So you want to protect the profession's wages somehow, like other professionals do. (http://modelviewculture.com/pieces/the-open-source-identity-...)

Regardless of details, it's obviously useful to make your job seem so arcane that only gifted people can do it. Exploiting cultural prejudices, you'd better have white males (maybe "honorary whites"); otherwise it might seem like anyone can do it. For good measure, they should probably be cismale; after all, Turing was basically killed by the government for transgressing gender roles. (That is, his life made unlivable.)

You can't stop the proliferation of buzzwords.

Ajax used to explicitly refer to the use of XMLHttpRequest to communicate with the web server without requiring a full page reload (incidentally, XMLHttpRequest doesn't require the use of XML). Eventually it went on to mean "interactive stuff on web pages" (probably because "Ajax libraries" like jQuery are as much about abstracting away the DOM as they are about abstracting away XHR).

HTML 5 used to refer to the HTML part of the Web Applications spec of WHAT WG. But WHAT WG dropped the version number (and the W3C has actually moved on to HTML 5.1 for the newer features) and most people say "HTML5" when they actually mean unrelated technologies like new browser APIs or "CSS3" (which isn't really a thing anymore because CSS was split into tiny modules, some of which are already at level 4 rather than 3).

The meaning of words changes. Especially when those words are used by groups outside of the (possibly much smaller) group that originally defined them. Resistance is futile. Deal with it.
I have no opinion at this time. The web page didn't show me very much - it has Haskell syntax, OK; it won't cons on you all the time, good; it intends to be useful for systems programming, well and good. That's fine for the intent.

I'd want to know a bit about how it held up in practice before I gave a real opinion, and I don't know anything about that at present.

The "a-ha" moment for me was concentrating on driving my rear foot into the ground.

No matter how you jump or drag your front foot, if you don't get a good solid "pop" on the tail, nothing happens. Felt weird at first but now it seems like it couldn't be any other way.

This is great. Patrick Byrne is doing a great service here. Development of crypto-security tools being pushed by an already successful publicly traded company adds instant credibility to the project and will lead many more successful business leaders to give it closer inspection, sooner.

So what happens when somebody doesn't secure the private keys to their Overstock shares well enough? A hacker steals your Overstock shares, and now they own them? What happens if someone steals the shares from the CEO? Obviously the hacker could never make use of those shares or else they would get caught. In a system like this, it can't be truly decentralized, can it?
Your posts reek of intellectual dishonesty. It is not logical to conclude that he decided to be one kind of an asshole about one thing because being a different kind of asshole about a different thing wasn't popular. His response is based on his relation with the subject, not time or learning a lesson.
Lots of 2-3 year leases while consumers felt out the product?

The Model S was released in mid-2012. So, the timing is right to ramp up the certified program by mid-2015 to catch vehicles that were leased for 3 years.

In the DC region, there are TONS of 2-3 year old vehicles for sale as certified, many of them off-lease. 3 of my last 4 vehicles have been bought that way. With the 30-40% discount from new and the 100k mile warranties, it works out pretty well.
With or without regulatory capture, I can't see how the problem we face is too much oversight on Wall Street.

Peruvian cuisine is one the finest in the world.

It's almost like the "melting pot" of cuisines, much like New York is the melting pot city of the world. A place where everything from American (Lomo Saltado), Italian (Tallarin Verde), Asian (Arroz Chaufa), and everything in between are elevated to their grandest stage with the help of all the varied ingredients cultivated in the Andean nation. Also, you've never really had ceviche until you've had Peruvian ceviche - sweet potato and all!

Also, Peru is a trip especially if you're into archaeology and Mesoamerican history as I am.

After watching more about Flux and React: I may have been wrong.

Flux seems to get away with React components being entirely synchronous by offloading all the async parts into the interaction between dispatchers, actions and stores. As the only thing React forces you to keep synchronous is the component code leading up to the rendering, I guess you could just wait for the stores to be ready and loaded before rendering the components.

I really can't stand Elon Musk, I mean, awesome guy, for sure, I'd love for him to be my boss. But 9/10 times he's doing an interview and he's just rehashing the same story. He has a way of telling the 'reason from first principles' story and jamming it into the interview despite nobody asking any question for which this answer would be relevant, I've heard it a dozen times now.

So no, for me it's definitely not Musk. Cool guy, but you can only hear Martin Luther King have a speech so many times before you're like 'I agree, but I'm getting sleepy.'

For me it's really just the tech and disruption. The things Tesla and SpaceX and SolarCity are doing really are very cool, and they sit at the heart of some of the biggest problems and challenges of the 21st century. An inevitable shift to green energy and the final frontier. For Tesla it's just a cool startup with a slick product, some ballsy moves, frequent run-ins with local/state competition and media clickbait journalists, and a product that for me is a bit like the iphone: not the very first smartphone, touchscreen, mobile os, app store, not the thing the average western consumer will have let alone the average person on the planet, not the cheapest or the most inclusive, but a frontrunner with a huge and lasting impact that will drive everyone else, a company that sets a bar. That's exciting.

And for SpaceX, well, that's just really exciting. This notion we're regularly shipping all kinds of stuff to a freaking permanent space station and returning safely and making multiple trips with the same vehicle over and over, is insane. A one-time planned crash on the moon and on the earth is one thing, but we seem to start to really grasp real control in space, where we can comfortably do lots of different things at an accelerated pace, cheaper and cheaper, and renew the interest, investments and plans in space that laid dormant for a few decades. SpaceX being a part of that, as a private startup company that again is making ballsy moves, is a hugely compelling story.

SolarCity is the least exciting for me personally, but I think it's also hugely important. Generally sits in the top 3 solar companies in the US, doing cool work, like building the biggest ever US solar farm. Creating a solar security, solar leasing options and retrofits (a not so sexy but very important part of our energy discussion). I don't follow the company too much, oil prices have been low recently and shale gas has exploded on the scene, so I expect it to be the most difficult company to run as it's hard to get it cheaper than coal/gas. As solar only has a 'moral' benefit to consumers, and the average customer isn't willing to pay a large premium for something that's moral (because green) especially with all the rhetoric on climate denial, the company is in many ways limited to the growth in the industry. While Tesla and SpaceX can outpace competition, SolarCity probably can't very much.
Someone will build one sooner or later.
How many of the executives who push open offices make sure that their kids have a quiet place to do their homework?
Actually, you're correct. I shouldn't be associating all bad behaviors to a single bad behavior.
The reason why I would prefer to have systemd respect the "debug" flag, even if it means that kernel developers have to learn a new workflow, is that there are a lot more system administrators than kernel developers out there, and (on average) the kernel hackers have lots more expertise than the admins.

By this logic, there are a lot more servers than there are desktop Linux users, and more than likely a lot more system administrators than desktop Linux users (I believe I'm in the minority as I'm a system admin, who uses Linux daily on all his computers, desktops, laptops, and servers), so the things systemd does that are intended to make the desktop linux experience better, like faster boot (which was never strictly a problem on servers, except in the time it usually takes a server BIOS to get to the grub prompt, which systemd can't address), "better" hot-plugging of devices, socket activation (which already had a solution and is something you don't want on a server for the example use-case of mysql), the FSS logging that journald does (because sysadmins have already sufficiently solved that at scale) so systemd shouldn't be encroaching on server linux use. And there are a lot more system administrators out there than desktop environment developers, and (on average) have more system administration experience than the desktop environment developers.

This also assumes that sysadmins don't use the kernel debug flag, and only kernel developers do. I've had to use it on the rare occasion, and I've been glad that messages from the kernel are easily selectable via a specific kernel command line option as distinct from userspace messages.
>How else could you possibly interpret this rationally in a conversation about being laid off?

I dunno, how about interpreting it as what it says instead of making up an evil motive? It says he wasn't sure why and his best guess was that.
OK, so this article is actually factually incorrect, and so is every commenter on here. We have appealed many videos on YouTube, and I can understand that it's confusing, but let me explain. It all comes down to confusion about the meaning of this text:

An appeal will result in either:

the release of a claim on your video

OR a legal copyright notification from the claimant. In this event your video will be taken down and you will receive a copyright strike on your account. If you have received additional copyright strikes, this may suspend your YouTube account

The article incorrect interprets these two options as:

Agree with us that you are a dirty lying dirty thief, and we'll still allow it to play in some countries.

Disagree with us, and we're going to take it down everywhere forever. And I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record.

This is incorrect. Here's what the two options actually are.

A: All claims are removed from your video. Nothing happens to you. Fair use wins. Glory be. The person making the claim didn't actually come after you with lawyers.

B: The person who is claiming copyright actually gets lawyers and comes after you for real. You'll have your chance to fight in the legal system. If you lose, the video is taken down and you'll get a strike. If you win, well, you win. Congratulations.

We have appealed many many videos. We only appeal ones we feel are fair use. Ones that are obviously not fair use, we just say yes to start out with. EVERY SINGLE TIME we have gone all the way on appeals, we have ended up with result A. Not one single claimant on our absolutely fair-use videos has actually tried to take us to court. The claims on our videos were released. The end.

It's just a bunch of scary text, but it's ok for it to be scary. If you push it all the way your video will be up with no claims. But you're giving your contact info so that they can actually sue you for real. YouTube is shielding you from taking that very real chance that you could end up in court if you aren't ready for that.

TL;DR No.

You're likely to run into domestic Controlled Foreign Corporation rules. Basically if you or your family own a large portion of a foreign registered company and that company is taxed less than domestic tax rates, it'll be classed as actually residing in your home country for corporate tax purposes.

You seem to have a natural tendency to side with the authority figure which is just as bad if not worse :)

How did you jump to the conclusion the CEO's version "was just the facts"? You seem to be saying because he is the boss that he is being factual and the employee inherently was not.

The CEO's spin might be the facts but it would be impossible for anyone who wasn't there to know. That's why an employer wouldn't normally air stuff like this in public, its one person's word against another, and the liability risks are steep.

I'm not basing my comments on which one of the two parties was being truthful, they might both think they are. You would have to do an indepth analysis of the employees performance, and the circumstances of his termination to know for sure.

I'm saying it was really poor judgement for a powerful employer to unload on a relateively powerless former employee, and air what should have been confidential HR information in public like that. If I were applying for a job with the guy I would think twice about working for someone willing to savage an employee in public like that. If I was on his board I'd sure think twice about whether he is the right person for a CEO job.
Yeah, that was an odd fix. Then /proc/cmdline doesn't reflect what the actual kernel command line was, thereby making debugging more opaque. The sane option, which the kernel developers suggested, was that systemd namespace pre-boot options it takes from the kernel command line, just like every kernel subsystem already does.
Good on you! I noticed I was initially afraid to just get moving on the thing. What about the skateboard falls? Partly why I stopped street skating was all the falls and ankle kinks. I still feel like I need to stage a fall on this new board just to break the ice. :-)
A personal summary:
1. relying on shared log for consensus and transactions
1.0. operations are performed going through shared log, there is no operations that affecting shared states will be performed locally
1.1. write-only transaction is done by appending log entries
1.2. read-only transaction is done by replaying log entries, with multi-level summarized log, this is efficient
1.3. read-write transaction started by comparing the reading point, and if no change being performed, then commit write change.
2. use a multi-level summarized log, analog to a skip list to accelerate log replay

Overall a marginal innovation over what we already knew. The use of shared log as the fundamental storage format needs verification to prove its usefulness in real-world application.
There aren't '30 patches' for each system. For CentOS there have been only 2 patches as far as I can tell. Whether all of the issues have been fixed in these patches, I'm not certain. I've also made sure we're using modperl instead of cgi perl.
It depends on who you ask. The common historical narrative is that Chan Buddhism developed out of a mixture of Nepalese Buddhism and Chinese Taoism. The idea being that the Buddhist monks visiting China from India were interpreted through a lens of Taoism. This then turned into Chan Buddhism, and was transmitted to Japan where it was then known as Zen Buddhism.

If you take this viewpoint, then you might say that Zen and what Siddhartha Gautama achieved were not the same thing.

However, most practitioners of Zen refute this and say that what Zen is, and what Siddhartha Gautama achieved are the same thing. This is the view that Wong Kiew Kit states in The Encyclopedia of Zen(referenced above).

People like Kit believe that Siddhartha Gautama discovered enlightenment on their own, and that enlightenment is the exact same kind of enlightenment as what modern Zen masters discover.

To quote myself now, "With only very rare exceptions, it requires an authority to transmit." It is not unheard of for students of Zen Buddhism to achieve enlightenment on their own.

Bankei, a famous 17th century Japanese Zen master, is recorded as having achieved enlightenment while watching a bloodied ball of phlegm slide down a paper wall. The story goes that he was so frustrated with the fake Zen masters in Japan at the time, that he sat on a mountain top until he first achieved tuberculosis and almost achieved starvation. Zen was so debased in Japan at the time that this was the only way for him to achieve it. All the other masters were fakes.

Among modern Zen masters it is understood that what Gautama Buddha achieved and what Bankei achieved are the exact same thing. That it was not transmitted to them is irrelevant, but it should be noted that this type of self-realization is extremely rare in Zen history.
The counterargument is that regulation hurts small players more than large ones. Citibank can afford an army of compliance officers; most of us can't.

I'm generally pro-regulation, if the details are sensible, but regulatory capture is a real problem, and it is not an unreasonable stance that the cure is sometimes worse than the disease.

That was already 3 years ago, and we've learned a lot about how to moderate HN since then. My guess is that some of those stories—the ones that contained some special information about Jobs, for example—would stay on the front page today, while others—such as the ones reporting info already reported elsewhere—would be demoted.

I'm asking this sincerely, and not being sarcasm, as I don't know enough about either Bitcoin or stock market to make a judgement. And this seems ... different enough that I'm not sure my reaction should be "damn the future is here", or "what a bunch of craps".

> The biggest difference that I noticed was my diminishing flexibility.

This is definitely the biggest change I've noticed. There is no way I could skate now like I did in college and high school as my body simply won't allow it.

Also important is that I doubt I'd recover from a nasty fall like I did when I was younger.

Lastly, even if I could physically move like I did before, the mental concern about the cost of a bad fall / breaking a bone / pulling a ligament / etc. would prevent me from landing any type of trick beyond the basics. One of my friends who skated with me a lot in college used to like saying that the biggest factor in pulling off a trick is "thinking that you're going to".
