Deals – Q3 2014 Review – The Next Generation [Slideshow]
On the contrary I was delighted to see people treated as customers.

Because other mass transit systems tend to treat people as cattle herd.

Mind you, this attitude is worth a lot. Especially when confronted with "you are the product" bullshit everywhere else.
At least they could put more trains to bank, why so many for charing cross.. they are always empty !
I second the recommendation below to read Graeber's "Debt".

It is really a fabulous book, and can help explain why many people in many cultures feel as you do, who benefits from that belief, but also how debt has never historically been about moral obligations but has always been a contract between two parties, with limitations on both party's obligations.

YC has the exact opposite of that policy. They'll fund competitive companies. Numerous examples exist.

I would be prepared for the question "What do you understand about this that $COMPANY does not?", but you should expect them to ask that about the industry leader first, rather than about a startup with a market share measured in basis points, which describes the overwhelming majority of startups (YC funded or otherwise).

I would also be prepared to have people, perhaps including the YC folks and perhaps not, tell you "You're not actually in competition with them."
Ask HN: Custom Store for Spring Data
Is there any documentation or a basic concept / getting started guide availabe for implementing a custom store for Spring Data?
But what nobody tells you about ASO is that these users are much more unqualified than the other users you get. Downloads coming from friend referrals or reading an article about your app are much more likely to give you a good rating or convert into a paying user.
This country is pretty bad about race. It's a struggle getting the average person to even acknowledge that racism is still a thing. But I don't agree with tedks that banning racism (or other bigotries) is going to solve anything. People are still going to be bigots. They'll just hide it better.

Making them hide their bigotry will seem like a solution in the short term, but it never ends well. And on a personal level, I would rather the bigots be open about it so I can avoid them. As long as they're not voting away my rights or being violent, the psychological harm is manageable.
My favorite breakfast to this day is either a bowl of cold cereal with milk or something like a full-English or some minimized version like eggs and bacon or pancakes without the beans and tomatoes (I'll never understand that) -- hot oatmeal with nuts, raisin and cinnamon (I don't really need sugar with it) will also do fine.

When I travel overseas I like to go "local" with my foods, but breakfast has always been special to me, an almost holy meal. I've never really been able to get into how other places do it. I'll spend exorbitant amounts of money on milk and cereal or eggs and the local sausage analog or whatever or at the very least some kind of pastry and coffee.

I've tried to eat like a local for breakfast, I really really have, but it kind of ruins the start of that day for me for some reason and I've never been able to really shake it.

It's a weakness. But I like to tell myself that the definition of separate food categories just for breakfast is a sign of an advanced civilization (even though most of what I eat is farmer's food) which makes me feel better.

I've heard Indian breakfasts sound quite civilized, I need to try one one of these days.

Why do all subways have to have the ugliest seat cushions? It's like they order them from the same shitty cushion factory.
And the Hong Kong MTR was designed by the same architect that worked on some of London's line extensions. They had a huge amount of experience and learnt lessons to pull from over the hundred years London's underground had been running.
This makes no sense. If we shift resources from investment to consumption, we will have fewer projects that increase production in the long term.
Side note; It's frusterating how long it takes Siri to launch. sometimes I feel like I'm holding down the home button for 5 seconds before Siri comes up.

And usually I'm trying to decide between a one sentence typing task or asking Siri to do it. The five second wait really throws off my time "profit margin".
I enjoyed reading about breakfast while eating mine. I had pumpkin soup and toast. In my opinion, soup is highly underrated as breakfast food (in the Western world at least).
well, I'll type it then, of course. But I'm usually locked away working in an office or working at home most of the time and not around too many people.

I'll give you the same reply I gave to yodsanklai, who made the same (incorrect) response:

> a significant majority of members of the 1982 list would have qualified for the 2012 list if they had accumulated wealth at a real rate of even 4 percent a year.

Further, your world cup analogy shows how inequality of results is not strong evidence of gboudraias' claim: "Those with the most money can... make the most money. "

Owning a 2006 or 2010 world cup does not give you a greater ability to play soccer - the World cup inequality between Germany/Brazil and India/USA is purely meritocratic.
I'm guessing that's why danielbln linked specifically to the Grade 4 section, rather than the whole article.
Similarly, shouldn't Query's limit be increased accordingly as well?

"If the total number of items meeting the query parameters exceeds the 1MB limit, the query stops and results are returned to the user with a LastEvaluatedKey to continue the query in a subsequent operation."

Having to request DynamoDB for every 2 items sounds impractical again.
> If your device has full disk encryption using a strong password, physical access doesn't get you much in the way of accessing the data.

Well, even if assuming that all your software is bug free, someone with physical access can either replace the unencrypted boot image with a compromised one which gives him remote access or install a hardware keylogger and come back later for the disk and password.

In the hypothetical situation of a targeted attack and attacker with physical access, FDE only protects you if you never turn on your computer.

I'd add that edge side includes (https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/ESIfeatures) can be amazingly useful. Even if you've offloaded all of your static content to a CDN, the ESI features of varnish alone can be a huge win.
Nearly every site uses cookies in some way. Many of them (like mine!) are still able to make excellent use of Varnish.

Looks like a small extension to the BSD one, that can also handle head'ing by byte count.

(Although I think the use of malloc() and strcpy() to handle the -[0-9]+ case seems rather unnecessary...)
It matters quite a lot. More than the regular keywords. Therefore you should squeeze a few of the most important keywords in the apps title. But it shouldn't get to spammy, as I have a feeling that that scares people away.

If you have an exact match (i.e. "music maker") between search and title, you chances of ranking high increases significantly.
My guess is that there are equal numbers of trains via Charing Cross and via Bank, but the morning trains in via Bank are much more crowded, as more people work there. More capacity would help, either way.
Personally I hate the dust in the stations. Also it seems nothing ever gets cleaned there. Stations in Taipei were perfectly clean.

Also, the seats in the carriage are designed for goblins. The London population grows not only in quantity, but also in height. It would be nice to have just few seats for taller people.
It's a bit like hospitals calling their patients customers.

You prefer being called a "usager" (a "user" in the most vulgar sense of the word) just like in France? Being called a customer sounds so much better and respectable.
Okay, seriously, I spent like 4 hours a couple months ago trying to figure out if I could do this with a Chase card, and failed.

Can you provide URL/directions? I'm not kidding. As far as I could tell, they used to have such a service but didn't anymore; but maybe it's still hidden somewhere but just not advertised, and I couldn't find it?
One of the side effects is that it allows people to queue in the right spot (rather than guessing and lining the platform) which helps even out the number of people trying to get in one set of doors. Adding a bit of predictability helps streamline things.

There was a review the other day at http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/10/testing-a-35-firefox-... (I think this was from HN).

I was interested to see how they defined "growth" in revenue figures. It's disappointing to see that they're only stating launches, rather than sales and return figures, and calling that growth. But perhaps it's too early to get real figures right now.
I think that's merely a matter of scale. The analog equivalent to a computer game is a video game, or playing a sport. Vice versa, there are plenty of "problems solved with the help of a computer" that simply cannot be solved without a computer: anything that needs a computer's scale to be calculated.
OSS under what license? I don't see anything in a quick look over the repo.
The title isn’t right. The Intex phone I assume it refers to is an Intex phone, not a Mozilla phone. The actual title should be what the press release title is: ‘Firefox OS Shows Continued Global Growth’
Airlines is not selling transportation but moving the population where it needs to be in the world. You are just arguing semantics, they both do the very same thing.
I should have been more clear, but what I am saying is that it's existance within the US will almost undoubtedly be used in violation of the Constitution.
Questions warrant answers commensurate with the effort invested in their construction. "How do you reverse a linked list?" is, on it's face, a waste if time. Beyond being a solved problem:

~ Single or doubly linked?

~ How is the data structure implemented (e.g. is there a header structure and to what does it point)?

~ What does "reverse" mean? mutate in place? create a new list? and if I am to mutate it in place, why?

~ Reversing a linked list is O(n). One implementation us pretty much as good as another. It doesn't really differentiate on insight into the problem.

~ Winding up in a situation where reversing a list is critical smells like bad design...a stack/queue would have been a better choice upstream than a queue/stack.

But though all that may make for interesting conversation, "with a library call" is the only professional answer to "How would you write a function to reverse a list?"
Hmmm.. What do you base that upon? My stats tell a different story. The downloads are usually of high quality.

This of course depends wether or not you manage to keep the keywords highly relevant. And the technique I am describing usually forces people to be more specific and add more relevant keywords. (Rather than what most app developers do, which is adding generic words like "fun,game,kids,book,music").
Coming from South London, it seems like every train is on the Bank branch (I have to change at Kennington 9 times out of 10).
Chess Is Not an RPG: The Illusion of Game Balance
Type systems do aspire to solve it, but we run into Rice's Theorem pretty quickly.
The sub-surface lines (Circle, District, Hammersmith&City) are getting new stock (same sort of features - walk-through carriages, little bit taller). In the past few years automation was introduced on Victoria, Northern, Jubilee and I think Piccadilly lines that basically reduces the driver's role to opening and closing doors and emergency stops. This allows trains to run at higher speeds with less delay between seeing a signal and starting the engine.
Having used some of the best and worst public transport systems in India, I wish they would consider their passengers customers. Most of the times, people who run public transport systems where their jobs are guaranteed treat you like an annoyance to be somehow tolerated, and often yelled at. I guess there is a golden median between that and something like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLfghLQE3F4).

Sorry - my point was counter to your about DE, FR and IT having the same conventions, so it's odd CH doesn't too. They all use the same currency, whereas CH doesn't, hence why there'd be a different one (?). E.g. we use £1,000.00 in the UK.
I'm convinced Vegemite is something Australians thought up for the sole purpose of annoying British people when they buy it by mistake ;)
I use Debian stable because I did not agree with Ubuntu's business plan at the time and since Ubuntu was Debian based it seemed like the easiest transition. The only downside is the 'old-ness'. I wanted to go with Jessie but the installer wouldn't work and I never bothered upgrading when I got stable installed.
> "lethal" sounds like a slur.

It is. There are dozens of ways to make automated trains as safe as or safer than driven ones, Lyon's line D has been fully automated for more than 20 years (since 1992), doesn't even use platform-side doors, and AFAIK the only incident so far was somebody falling on the train itself (dead drunk and trying to jump from a mezzanine to the quay) and hitting a camera in the tunnels in 2010 (the person was lucky and survived)

Step 1 - Scrum
From his birth, I tried very hard to let my son criticize and challenge me and also other adults. I tried to teach him to negotiate for what he wants and that things should be quid pro quo. This has greatly frustrated many adults (and me at times). But, I have always thought it an awesome thing to challenge authority.

Along with this, I also tried to teach him to understand how fortunate he is and to be generous and truly empathetic to others.

Now, he's almost a teenager and still a wonderful, caring kid.

We'll see how this experiment turns out.
I wonder what the cost would look like to widen the tunnels on old subway systems like the Tube to make for wider trains. The first thing that hit me about the Tube when I used it is how narrow the trains are (especially the older lines). It's not a surprised when probably most of it was dug out by hand, but running a modern tunnel boring machine down the line and laying new track and using the kind of ultra wide trains used in Asia would move far more people.
> "with a library call" is the only professional answer to "How would you write a function to reverse a list?"

Most interviewers - in my experience - would then mark you down as a smartarse and the interview will be all downhill from there.
Can't you cool the line with AC that pumps out heat outside?
One big issue that people tend to miss when comparing current situation to the previous years is the fact that machines are making more machines. See, when combine harvester or loom was invented people were needed to build these machines, so it was fairly easy to move them from doing one manual job to another. Right now however, that one machine can be build by another machine.

When I recently helped build a machine to automate some test processes at a local company it took us about 120 hours in total to do it. The machine will replace three people. All of the components that were used were either computers, software or electronics. This is not something that any of these employees will be ever able to do, as they are simply a very low skilled, uneducated workers, from impoverished neighborhood. The next machine that we may be building for this company will take us even less time, as we have everything already designed, and tested. We just need to put few components together and verify that it works. It will maybe take us 16 hours to do it.

When it takes you less than a week of work to replace three people, there is no way that the jobs for these employees can be created fast enough.

The problem is that a technical solution is probably an order of magnitude more complex than a bit torrent or bit coin system; and will take a bit of cross discipline imagination.

I had pop tarts when I was 6 years old and went on a trip to the USA with my family. It was horribly sweet and not at all delicious. On the other hand, peanut butter was an enjoyable discovery.
We actually did exactly that, and this 500 figure is a high-point.

I took the September groceries and checked, and we are at.. -462,11 €

So yeah, it's an actual figure.
> The comparison is disingenuous

I disagree. I can always pay the monthly subscription equivalent of the old standalone license and then just torrent the DRM- and cloud-free version of Photoshop. The developer still technically gets paid, but I'm under no illusion that my actions are in any way justified.

> a diablo like cannot be compared to a lengthy RPG.

I tried to look up how "lengthy" this game exactly is going to be and I'm not content with my results. "Our goal is to make it as long as possible with the funding that we get from Kickstarter" is as bland response as it can get. And from the look of it Pillars won't have a decent voice acting. Path of Exile does, not only main characters taunts, but also NPC dialogs and environmental lore (journals, statues, inscriptions, etc.). Recently, they released an expansion pack which added more story and fully voiced NPCs. In my book this "Diablo-like" can hold candle to a "lengthy RPG" just fine.

I really hope Pillars succeeds, but I'm going to hold my judgement until it's fully released.

> If they made a good game, and all that's bad about it is the drm scheme, is that really a "bad job"?

Apparently it is, since it's such a deal-breaker for you and you actively seek DRM-free games. And it's ok, because user experience is extremely important. Even if the gameplay is good, technical obstacles which won't let players enjoy the game will absolutely ruin its opinion. It was especially evident with always-online games that had problems during the launch (Diablo III, SimCity).

> Unfortunately, I'm pretty averse toward MMOs in general (...)

Ah, well. They're not for everyone. I'm not a big fan of them myself; I prefer to go at my own pace and often end up playing them like in a single-player mode.

Interesting point with emulation; I haven't considered that.

> Other than not liking MMOs, I do have a varied taste in RPGs.

What about roguelikes? Again, they might not be for everyone, but I had tons of fun with classics like Nethack and ADOM.

I'd be interested in seeing the source on the first claim "26% would leave for a 5% pay rise". In my experience people will rarely leave a job that they are otherwise happy with unless the pay rise is very significant.
If your site is not completely dynamic there is no sane reason to hit the database or disk for every visitor. Serve it out of the cache. Improve your visitors' experience, and lower the load on your hardware to insignificant levels.
Maybe too harsh. But I've known many cases of toddlers dying in which parents left them alone "just a second": jumping through windows, drowned in the bathtub, etc.

What children want is doing (specially discovering and learning) things by themselves, but that's not the same as being alone.

And every child I've seen wants more attention from their parents. There's an age for everything and that's not the one for unsupervised independence.
You can use Edge Side Includes to get around this. Essentially, you write a page to Varnish containing ESI tags, and it caches that page. The ESI tags, otoh, are parsed every time the page is accessed.

So it's useful if some amount of your content is always the same, with other parts being requested per request (or cached depending on cookies, or whatever else).
Good points; it just seems like things were better back when it was called "passenger". Unless I'm seeing through rose-tinted glasses organizations used to have a self-concept of providing a public service, of reliability, fairness, consistency.
You'd learn a lot more deploying a lamp stack with Virtualbox or dropping 100 bucks on a used server off ebay and deploying something on it.

Honestly this offer is just like those gigantic coupon books you get in the mail that gives you discounts to all the local area restaurants (that paid up). It's great if you want a good deal if you want to go out, but it's not like anybody's doing you a favor.
Does anyone have a fairly basic varnish config that deals with a) non-www to www redirects, b) works with https certificates (with the Cloudfare config) , , c) allows CORS for fonts on cloudfront and d) switches off caching for all /admin pages?

Varnish has proven to be very hard to use with nginx in the above setup. Especially, trying to understand the ssl bit is getting to be really hard.

Can it also work with spdy?

If performance is a design goal, you need to take it into account. Making things efficient can affect the code in funny ways and/or introduce restrictions you need to plan around, so ideally you need to be thinking about it as early as possible. You can't get everything right in advance, but making an educated guess is better than just ignoring the issue and then wondering later why it's proving so difficult to improve the performance.

People already think in these terms, I am sure, when it comes to loading data over the internet, or reading larger-than-RAM data sets, and so on.
My thoughts exactly. Should be rephrased to say "26% is currently unhappy enough in their job that they'd leave".
A quick Google search suggest ghat there is asbestos in various places in the London Underground.
