I had the trouble of an overflowing inbox caused from newsletters I received during holidays at the beginning of this summer. So I build lettr.cc to pause all my newsletters at the tip of my finger. You now can play, pause and discover newsletters with a single click too.

I still have trouble with some newsletters. Does anyone know how to handle e-mail encodings in detail?

I have some bugs with mails that cannot be saved correctly to my database. The HTML-String stops at the equal sign.
One line from the slides (33) - "Optimize for growth, not revenue."

I'm curious, why is everyone nowadays so obsessed with growth? Is growth really that much more important than revenue? What if you strike a balance between the two?

I remember reading what one of the WhatsApp's founders once said: "[..] we focused on business sustainability and revenue rather than getting big fast [..]" And it looks like they did alright.
As an example of the problem, anything made of metal will become brittle. For why this might be a problem, take a look at what's in the middle of the ITER toroid: you've got a stack of magnetic coils, which have to be physically braced against a colossal magnetic repulsion by a great big pre-stressed metal core.

I'm sure someone at ITER has done the maths and figured out how long that core can last under operation before it becomes too brittle to keep the coils together, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was one of the reasons why ITER isn't designed for long-term power generation.
>Freedom is the right to act, not immunity from the effects of others' actions.

What about the freedom to keep slaves? The slaves are "free" to run away, they're just not "immune" from the actions of the slave keeper if they get caught.

This is why the term freedom is almost useless. People inevitably mean "the set of freedoms I care about", which will always come at the expense of other freedoms.

Which is strange, since this is the only place where they still dominate and offer tangible advantages over practically all other fat client solutions. Java desktop UIs are dead (except from Eclipse, which is a walking zombie despite their e4 efforts), and there are not many other options if you want a solution that supports bidirectional data binding.

The recent trend of using web applications inside a Webkit/Chromium container has a strange attraction, as convoluted as this solution is.

You're seriously questioning why someone would want more storage on their mobile device? Clearly 640kb is enough for anyone.
There's been a few HNers that have shared bad stories of what happens when an AirBnB landlord is letting an apartment nearby. You get short-term stayers who are in town to party and you don't get much sleep when those kind of people are around. 'Bustling, noisier' is alright when you're talking market day, but not so good when it's 2am.

And if you talk to people who live next to inns, they don't usually rate it as a net positive, particularly if the establishment serves alcohol. Intoxicated people make all sorts of messes that they don't clean up.

The flaw in this reasoning is that you assume that drugs are the direct cause of the fact.

If those parents have such serious issues, and marijuana wouldn't even exist, they would be nonetheless drunk as hell, or glued to some videogame, and so on, and the baby would be in the exact same conditions.

Such argument against drugs is an oversimplification of human behavior, which makes easy to point fingers, in this case, against light drugs.

> I found these slides rather shallow

I couldn't agree more with you. I was expecting some fact-based, data-driven insights/perspectives from Google - so, for me I'd say the "insights" seem disappointingly shallow because they are just "opinions".

I keep hearing that one of the big way in which "how google works" is different is that their "people operations" (HR) runs very differently from other companies. I would have loved to understand - how?

"What's different now?" is such a, I am sorry to say, stupid question. Depending on anyone's opinion, their world view, whether they think macro or micro - the answer can range from "nothing at all" to "everything is different". Lets take communication as an example - "what's different now?" - depending on who you talk to, they can argue that the fundamental needs are just the same (just forms have evolved) or someone can argue that things are radically different now because of X (where X could be snapchat or any new-age medium etc.). The same is true for entertainment - I have had discussions where I was convinced that the "fundamental need to be entertained" is just the same, but I also see so many new media around (so of course, its different now).

It would have been great if they had given more insights on how a successful internet age company truly works from the inside - a bit more than "its best to work in small teams, keep them crowded, and foster serendipitous connections". I thought Eric/Google could contribute a new perspective to this discussion, given their vantage point. Otherwise its just another tautological business/self-help book.

I am a bit disappointed because Google's vantage point in this world is so unique (they see so many things in the world, that others don't - given their reach & size) - that they could have really added something very positive and new to "What's different now".

The whole point about "Smart Creatives" also seems so shallow - for hundreds of years and maybe before, "Smart Creatives" as they have defined it, are having tremendous impact! Where is the "So what?"
I understand that this is just a teaser to encourage people to read the book. If so, its just bereft of any fact-based, data-driven, truly unique perspectives or insights that I, personally just won't bother.

There were a couple of SGI Indy laptop prototypes in the works too, but I guess they didn't go anywhere. But .. just imagine this, all you althist'ers: what if SGI had been the one to release the tiBook, instead of Apple, and for a good price? Would we all be going into SGI stores and drooling these days? I bet that could've happened .. the spirit was there at SGI, even if the management wasn't. (It should also be noted that a lot of that spirit went elsewhere when SGI exploded: Transmeta, Nvidia, AMD, etc. Some good SGI talent even went to Apple! So .. there is a bit of SGI DNA all over the place these days, in fact ..)

The best part about Hartl's work is that it is "Rails Way" oriented. When I hire a junior developer or bring on an intern, this course is a prerequisite before I allow them to write any code. It provides such a strong foundation into the Rails mindset that it's an exceptional tool. It ensures that all the juniors and interns have a common experience, grounded in good habits. My Onboarding goes something like this: welcome, now do this tutorial and here's a membership to Code School for ongoing improvement. That coupled with pairing results in a great level of beginning professional competence that generally leads to higher productivity. The early time investment is completely worth it. I do prefer the Rspec focus of earlier editions, however that's just my bias and not based on anything rational. Nice work again Michael!
This is one of those "wow, that's amazing!" things about the internet. I used to save up my money as a kid to buy USGS quads. Naturally, I didn't have that many of them, and you could only find local ones, and not even all of those were always in stock. Now... it's all right there for free!

In india at least people want larger displays. For most of them mobile would be their primary computer/internet connected device hence its desirable to have maximum size as possible. You can even get 5" for less $100(if you visit flipkart nearly 50% android mobiles have 5" or more). You want bigger batteries as well which comes with some mobiles. But at least with battery you can keep charging.

Get back to me when there is a chain of trust between voter intent and the actual record of the vote.

Electronic systems do not actually record the voter intent, just an interpretation of it.

Note, the confidentiality is not the same as anonymity. This is a link to voter identities. It's just not made public, but it's there.

A nice, robust, human readable, court room compatible vote by mail works very well, and it embodies the four basic ideas I mentioned above. It can be manually done, or electronically counted and audited too. Whatever works.

Really, e-voting is a solution looking for a problem. Making fancy systems really isn't getting at the core issue; namely, turnout and suppression.

Not a one of those cool ideas will work out, unless it's linked to people like we do bank transactions. Even then, the voter will be in a forced position of trust as they must allow the technology to interpret their intent instead of recording their intent directly onto a trusted record.

Human Resources – An Apocalyptic RTS Game
There still exists a forced trust by the voter in that they must trust the machine to parse their voter intent and must trust it to use that intent to contribute to the overall tally.

A machine presents a user with some interface, and they make a selection and they get told something. They have no identifiable way to see the record of their intent is accurate, or even will be used.

With pen and paper, the intent of the voter is what we record and that record is used to arrive at the tally to determine the election.

With a machine, we do not record the voter intent, only what a machine determined that intent to be.

Actually recording the voter intent means being able to evaluate that intent in a court of law, vote by vote, if needed. Given the impact law and government has on us, it's not too much to ask we actually do record intent.

Gnome screenshot (available on for example Ubuntu) lets you take a screenshot of a portion of the screen that you choose yourself (so, like taking a full screenshot and then cropping). In unity, you can press Dash, start typing screenshot and then you can choose 'choose portion' or something from the menu.

(I think the command line argument is `gnome-screenshot -a`.)

I agree that just pressing printscreen and then cropping in Gimp is a pain! Really, the less I have to use Gimp for simple editing, the happier I am.

iPython for Emacs, Without Ipynb Files
Here is an Emacs extension emacs-ipython that allows one to execute ipython code snippets from inside Emacs LaTeX buffer and display the results (as graphics or text) directly in the same buffer. The mode was developed to avoid the ipython notebook Web interface and ipynb files which are uneditable through simple text editors. This way best of both worlds is used, Emacs for editing TeX, and ipython for running code.

I still remember back in 1999 when an animator at a studio a worked at showed up with a brand new Geforce card he'd just bought. We grabbed one of our NT machines, popped out whatever high end card was in it, put in the Geforce card and started up Maya. Watching Maya run well enough to get real work done on a card that cost a fraction of what a 'real' graphics card cost was pretty amazing. Hell for many of our common work loads there was no real difference in performance at all. Combine that with the recently released Pentium 3 CPUs and you could build yourself 3D graphics workstation out of cheap commodity parts that could really hold its own.

VB used to allow you to omit optional parameters by just leaving it blank

sure it won't do if there are dozens but for the odd ugly case where you naughtily use optional parameters it's OK.

It sounds like there's a need for IDEs to show the parameter names all the time. They could just be inserted automatically into the display if you want to see them, or turn them off if you don't like that. Better than being always on like this proposal.

No, he's saying that if there is some problem with the election, the actual record of the voter intent for all the voters can be dragged into a court of law and sorted out.

This can be done under the public eye, with mutually distrustful parties evaluating the vote intent fairly, and in the open.

That's something electronic systems do not, and are not capable of offering us.

Why?

They do not record voter intent, only what a machine determined the intent to be. A voter must trust the machine, and can never really understand whether or not their vote intent record actually reflects their intent, They cannot understand this because, unlike media which presents an unbroken chain of trust between intent and the record of the intent used for the tally, electronic means are a proxy, and do not use human readable records, which breaks the chain of trust.

A voter can and should be suspect in this case as the creator of the proxy (machine) may well not be compliant with both their intent and the law.

I am not trying to argue how the game is played. But take the google founder. Here is the son of a computer science academic migrant, who kind of hacked his way into corporate power, without needing to show all the ruthlessnes of the past centuries titans. Now you could say that he was more privileged than your average joe. And It's true. But he is less privileged that you usually needed to be to attaign that level of success. It's true of him, true of Larry Ellison, and countless untold stories. And with them, of all the people they brought into the adventure. Te be fair, It has always been true that self-made giant could come from any avenue of life. The difference is that it has never been so well documented.
Isn't it fairly standard for anyone having a new idea about fusion to claim they'll have a working model "in 10 years" once they've ironed out the "few small details"?

Then, in 10 years, after billions of dollars, it'll be "we've -almost- cracked it, another 10 years, easy."

Repeat for 40 years and counting...
Hadoop becomes more powerful, but more difficult to use
"impossible" refers to this:

When a voter marks a ballot, there is an unbroken chain of trust between their intent and the record of their intent used for the tally.

When a voter uses a machine, the machine records something it thinks is the voter intent. The voter must trust the machine as they are not capable of seeing the actual record.

Further, the actual record of their intent is never captured, just an interpretation of it. Additionally, this record is copied, not used directly.
Ask HN: Where/how to get feedback/style pointers on first Angular app
So, background is I'm primarily a C# and VBScript dev (mixed with T-SQL and domain-specific program knowledge) but I want to expand my knowledge, primarily I've been playing with ruby writing some small apps but I've started looking at Angular for doing SPA apps.

I've written a small (less than 1 day) SPA (literally a single-page) with Angular, however at the moment I've got everything in a single controller, not using directives, services or even testing - is there anywhere I can get good, constructive feedback on what things I should be looking at doing to follow more of the "best practices" in terms of how to test it, what to test, how to break it apart into a more modular/maintainable app?

Also, at the moment all the data that it needs is stored in the controller itself as I've designed it to be used offline (it doesn't need to write any data ever, it's primarily making decisions and displaying results based on user input and the static data that it holds itself)

Unseatbelted people sometimes fly out of cars. And what about the emotional impact of being in a wreck where somebody dies in the other car because they didn't wear a seatbelt? What if you caused a wreck survivable with minor injuries but the other person died because no seatbelt. Now yiu're charged with manslaughter simply because somebody was being libertarian. Yay.

We legally mandate airbags, abs, esr, and a host of other safety features in cars because it turns out cars kill a disproportionate number of the population. Why not seatbelts? Mind you, you simply don't have the option to turn off the other safety features. We collectively don't want you to have it.
